Exploring the rural principals'interpretation and compliance with the South African schools act in Uthungulu District
Educational Planning & Administration
Chonco, David Sibonakaliso
Schools are institutions that are responsible for children's education. They are where people exercise their constitutional rights in education and the means for the government to develop its educational goals. This necessitates the presence and existence of clear guidelines, acts and policies of which the South African Schools Act (SASA) is one. All the relevant stakeholders, that is, the learners, educators, parents, professional bodies and other interested parties must conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the Constitution as everything that SASA tries to achieve is within the framework of the Constitution. The rationale of this study therefore is to determine the gap between what SASA determines to be done in schools and what is obtained in schools with special reference to rural schools in UThungulu District. The study aimed at answering the following questions: • How do rural school principals interpret South African Schools Act in Uthungulu District? • To what extent do rural school principals in Uthungulu District comply with South African Schools Act? The researcher used questionnaires to gather data. The study revealed that most rural school principals from Nkandla, Umthonjaneni, Mlalazi and Mfolozi Circuits have knowledge of SASA but some of them are selective in complying with. They had challenges on the implementation of the alternatives to corporal punishment and the process of suspension and expulsion. The study further revealed that most principals believed in having morning assembly where religious observances are practised and daily briefings are given to learners. In view of the findings of the study which indicates that most respondents have knowledge of SASA but have challenges with regard to compliance, the researcher therefore recommends that there must be empowerment programmes for rural school principals regarding the understanding of and compliance with South African Schools Act policies. These must involve empowerment and development of democratic school governing body members on a quarterly basis. Furthermore there should be incentives for school governing body members in order to have ownership of and be accountable for the powers vested in them in the governance of the schools.

A union representing student workers throughout the UC system has authorized its members to go on strike following a unionwide vote that passed with 96 percent support. United Auto Workers Local 2865 includes 12,000 teaching assistants, graduate student teachers and readers who now have the authority to strike in protest of alleged intimidation tactics used by the UC administration.
The vote comes a week after the union's no-strike clause expired in its contracts with the University of California. UAW has expressed support for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees 3299 workers, who plan to strike at UC campuses on Nov. 20. UAW may join them in solidarity.
UAW members claim that their annual pay, purportedly an average of $17,000, is not nearly enough to live on without taking a second or third job. Like AFSCME workers, UAW representatives believe that the UC administration acted unlawfully when it asked union members if they were planning to go on strike.
The union published a report titled "Towards Mediocrity" that outlines how undergraduate and graduate success is tied and how quality education depends on both.
The UC system has been negotiating contracts with several of the unions that represent its workers in addition to UAW, including AFSCME, University Professional and Technical Workers and the California Nurses Association.
According to UC officials, CNA will strike in conjunction with AFSCME this month. UPTE-CWA, which represents research and technical employees in the UC health system, agreed not to participate in any strike activity and will instead return to contract negotiations.
University of California Vice President for Systemwide Human Resources and Programs Dwaine Duckett released a statement on AFSCME's planned strike.
UC officials believe that an increase in employee pay will inevitably result in fee hikes for both students and patients across the system's health centers. However, AFSCME alleges that students have already seen fee increases to offset six-figure salaries for the system's top executives.
AFSCME's last strike in May cost the UC system upwards of $20 million, and a UAW strike could mean a major academic labor loss as TAs and readers go on strike.

PACKAGE OF REFORMS PLANNED FOR CLASS 4 GAMBLING
Hon Chris Tremain
Minister of Internal Affairs
Internal Affairs Minister Chris Tremain today announced a balanced package of reforms in the Class 4 (non-casino) gaming sector.
"There is a clear need for reform in the Class 4 sector, which is why Te Ururoa Flavell and I have worked together on his Gambling (Gambling Harm Reduction) Bill. The Bill will be the first in a set of signficant changes," says Mr Tremain.
"It is my intention to introduce further legislation and regulations to address other issues that have been identified in the Class 4 sector. These reforms will focus on improving the transparency of grants to community groups, increasing the amount of funding that goes back to the community and reducing unnecessary compliance costs for Class 4 operators.
"I know the public has real concerns over conflicts of interest in the sector. To tackle this I will introduce legislation to capture and prosecute "rorts" more easily and restore the ability of DIA to cancel or suspend Class 4 licences as a penalty. Societies and venues who are compliant and show best practice will be granted longer licences as an incentive.
"The way that societies pay bars and pubs to host gaming machines is extremely complicated and needs to be simplified. This will reduce compliance costs, enabling more money to be returned to community groups.
"There will also be greater transparency about how grant decisions are made so the community is better informed about that process.
"I also propose to lift the minimum rate of return to the community over time. Based on the current turnover for every one per cent average increase we can return an additional seven million dollars to the community.
"As a way of reducing costs to societies information will only need to be published online rather than in a newspaper.
" The overall package of eight additional proposals is much wider in scope than those proposed by the Maori Party's original Bill, and is the result of a collaborative effort with Mr Flavell. These reforms will deliver a simpler, more transparent system providing more money to the community.
" I would like to congratulate and thank Mr Flavell for his commitment to addressing gambling-related harm, while recognising the important role of Class 4 societies in community funding."

DisneyToons review: Atlantis: Milo`s Return
December 20, 2015 December 20, 2015 by anii654, posted in Disneytoons reviews
Disneytoon`s 23rd film.
https:/ www .youtube.com/watch?v=-XfIvvqDNGs
http://putlocker.is/watch-atlantis-milos-return-online-free-putlocker.html
My opinion right after watching the film
My opinion right after watching the film is that I disliked the first film, and in comparison, I have no strong feeling for it one way or another. I do not like or really dislike it, though it is a cheap and contrived effort of creating something for a franchise that clearly needed to die.
All I know about the production of this film is that it was supposed to be a TV show, but after it got cancelled after the poor reception of Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and since they already made footage, they collaborated it into this film.
The film starts with Kida (Cree Summer) narrating that they are using the crystal to restore their culture, uncovered mysteries, and thriving off of knowledge. She is somehow married to Milo Thatch (James Arnold Taylor), which I am confused by, since they barely had a relationship in the first film. A bunch of "intruders" (really the crew from the last film) arrive (I thought that they forever blocked the real world to Atlantis.
Here is where it gets shitty. Apparently they are there to get Milo to help them find a mysterious creature named Kraken, who is wrecking havoc on the ships and on land. I guess this is a pathetic copout to get Milo and Kida to leave Atlantis.
My reaction to watching a sequel to a film that was crap anyways.
Kida is learning a lot more about the human world, which is exciting for her. So they continue look more into this Kraken thing, believing that it had some connection to some Atlantean war. Long story short, they end up going to the sea after some robot woman tells them more about the monster, and they end up defeating Kraken, who was a master, and was a lot deeper than they thought, whatever. Yaaaayyy. Sorry if this review is extremely half assed, and lackluster, but I cannot muster the energy to write a lot about this film. Why does this exist?
Apparently they go to the Southwest, and realize that some coyote spirits are affecting the area. They go to some ancient building, and seeing that it was too clean (like no dust anywhere), meaning that these coyote spirits were at the area. Kida does not understand why certain antiques were protected by the glass (the point of museums), and she sees an antique that reminds her of Atlantis, which she makes. The shop owner Ashton (Thomas F. Wilson) rubs them the wrong way, and they see a bunch of random figures and spirits, which causes a car crash.
So the same figure kidnaps the crew, and it is the same man who got them earlier. They end up escaping, defeating the man, and they meet up with some native man Chakashi (Floyd Red Crow Westerman) tells them that the people of Atlantis and his people are very similar, so he will let them go on their way with their knowledge of the people without killing them pretty much.
So they go home, only for Whitmore (John Mahoney) to tell them that a sphere was stolen form him, and accuses the Norse vikings of stealing it. This was somehow in a book Milo had, which explains that the Norse vikings wanted the sphere to use it to bring back doomsday and end the world in Ragnarock. Kida compares this to her father hiding the crystal in Atlantis, but Milo tells her that the Norse God is not protecting anyone, while her father was protecting everyone. They go to Norway, where Kida is kidnapped because it is easy to tell that she is the daughter of Atlantis (and initially thought that she was his daughter). She ends up stealing the sphere, defeats the god, and decides to combine it with the crystal to lift Atlantis, finally realizing that her father was wrong to hide the crystal from the others. This was decent growth for Kida I guess.
What I can say about this film is that it would have been a great TV show. Add some character development, some ties to their backgrounds, and relevant adventures would have made this better than the other TV series. It is clear that this was supposed to be a parted pilot, which I can respect, but the predecessor flopped. Honestly, what they did with Kida is the only reason why this film was not horrible. It is about on par with the original film.
The characters are worse and less memorable than they were in the first film, so….. they were not good whatsoever. All of the side characters were either not memorable, or even more one-note than before.
Honestly, I cannot even call him the protagonist of the film. He was even more boring than he was in the film, and made me tune out more than I already did.
Honestly, I have to say that Kida improved in this bootleg sequel. She learned a lot about th ehuman world, how they function, and realized that while her father was wrong for what he did in the original, but she understood where she came from. I can honestly say that she was the redeeming part of this film.
It is TV animation , and it looks like it was made during the Aladdin sequels time , which was about 10 years prior to this. So, it is pretty poor quality.
The score for this film is pretty decent. It is very familiar to the first film, so I do not really have any issue with it. It keeps the wild, adventure-like theme to it.
The film came out at May 2oth, 2003, and it was only released because it was a scrapped TV show. I ma sure many did not even know enough about the first film for this film to even have much of a reception.
Its reception today is that it is a terrible pilot for a TV show, and a waste of a direct-to-dvd sequel. Otherwise, no oen remembers or cares for it.
Animation 5.5/10
19.5/40 = 49%

Huh, I thought you would've disliked this more than the first one. As for me, I thought "Eh, it's fine." Not good, not bad. Just fine.
I agree that this could have been an interesting TV show, but with the failure of the movie, it's not hard to see why they gave it the axe. What could have been….
I look forward to your Lion King 1 1/2 review. I thought the movie is pretty decent myself, but more on that next time.
I thought I would hate the film more myself, but it is too hard to grt riled up over these movies anymore. You can tell that at this point, DisneyToons did not even care.
Yeah, I too thought you'd dislike it more. I just think this film is really bad and it's quite evident that it was meant to be a TV series.
That pretty much sums it up. The sad thing is that it would have been a good TV series.
The Lion King 1 1/2!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO-I've never seen it, so I can't comment. Same applies for this "movie," which, as far as I know, is just a dropped pilot for a TV series.
I have never seen The Lion King 1 1/2 either. I am very nervous and expecting the worst.
Well, according to the Nostalgia Chick, it really "shits all over the tone of the original."
How gleeful.
thecoolkat1995 says:
The Atlantis movies were some of the first Disney movies I saw (I grew up during the post-Renaissance era, and I figure that's the reason it took me so long to become a Disney fan) and I remember thinking they were alright, but they're kind of a blur (oh how I laughed at your observation that Milo is a Gary Stu. I sort of want to rewatch the first one now to see if I can pick up on those Sue traits). I do remember liking the twist of Act II's bad guy being a turned into a coyote ghost. Freaky.
I love the original and think it is way underrated adventure from Disney but this is very forgettable sequel. You can tell it combines episodes together and lacks any of the originality and fun of original film.

StoryJun 13, 2016Openly Gay Muslim Imam Reacts to Orlando: Clubs Like Pulse are Safe Havens for LGBT Muslims, Too
AMY GOODMAN: Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," the song sang out loud at vigils around the world for the victims of the Orlando shooting. This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman. On Monday night, thousands gathered in downtown Orlando for a candlelight vigil to remember the victims of the massacre at the Pulse nightclub. A nearby church bell tolled 49 times—once for each victim. Most of the victims were young and Latino or Latina.
To talk more about the Orlando shootings, we're joined by Isa Noyola. She's director of programs for the Transgender Law Center, the largest transgender organization. She's a translatina activist and a national leader in LGBTQ immigrant rights movement.
Welcome to Democracy Now!, Isa. Can you respond to not only what took place early Sunday morning, the 49 people killed, but then the reaction to it in this country, both the movement's reaction and then those running for president, like Donald Trump?
ISA NOYOLA: Yes. Buenos días. This is an incredibly difficult moment that my community is facing at this moment. It's of deep pain and one that I think our Latino, Latina, Latinx community is very much in the trenches. We are deep in sorrow. And so, I think that we are—as a community, we're always perceived as sort of resilient, but that resiliency comes from, you know, being years in survival mode. And I know that my community has very much survived, is surviving violence on a daily basis.
These spaces, like at Pulse nightclub, these Latino nights, are very much sacred spaces for our community. They're spaces of respite, of safety, of camaraderie, of community. And the fact that now that these spaces are now threatened, now we have to think twice before we enter these spaces, when they're already far and few between, when we're already under vigilance, when we're already overpoliced, when we're already feeling that our lives are at any moment—given moment, that our lives are threatened due to state violence, due to interpersonal violence, domestic violence, gun violence now.
It is increasingly troubling that my community is not centered in this moment, that in this moment there was a context for that shooting, and that context is that my community was deeply impacted and murdered. And we are not lifting appropriately our community of LGBT Latina, Latinx leaders in this moment, and how we've been in survival mode for many, many years. The fact of the matter is, just across the country, as I travel, there are very few spaces that really provide programming—monolingual programming, bilingual programming—for our community. And so often these spaces, these club spaces, are just a few—a few spaces that we can access safely.
AMY GOODMAN: Isa, for those who haven't heard the term, explain "Latinx."
ISA NOYOLA: "Latinx" is a term that's being used within social justice circles and in our community just to acknowledge sort of that we are, you know, all genders, that folks who identify not just as Latino, masculine, or Latina, feminine, but also just—it acknowledges a gender spectrum, essentially, because we are diverse in our gender expression.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about what the media narrative is missing? You know, vigils are held all over the country—in New York, flowers, people gathering at Stonewall, the place where decades ago—really was the birthplace of the modern-day gay rights movement, when patrons of this bar, another sanctuary for gay, Latino, trans people, was raided by police. And those that led that raid at Stonewall were trans women, who took off their stiletto high heels, and they hammered on the heads and the bodies of the police that were raiding this bar, that were tormenting them. Can you talk about what we don't hear and watch in the media now as this story around Orlando unfolds?
ISA NOYOLA: I think the stories of the individuals that were murdered and killed are starting to emerge. I think that the stories of survival and the stories of how our community is surviving on a daily basis is not being talked about, the ways in which our Latino immigrant communities are having to survive to exist, to really think about—you know, use creativity to really think about supporting each other, right? And we—often, we see our communities, really in ingenious ways, sort of supporting each other and providing space in moments of crisis, providing spaces in homes, providing spaces like in clubs, and offering services, because the fact of the matter is we don't, as a broader LGBT mainstream movement. I think that the buzzword of diversity and sort of inclusion is always used, but so often it's not met with real intentional efforts. And the fact of the matter is that our community is not adequately and intentionally looked at, and is often tokenized. And in these moments, our stories are used. Our stories are, you know, talked about in ways of just othering. And I think that it is a moment for the broader LGBT movement and for society to really think about how our Latinx, Latina, Latino communities have been surviving. And the fact of the matter is that through state violence, through detention centers, through the immigration process, through the journey of arriving to this country, that my community is suffering at every turn.
AMY GOODMAN: I want to turn to Donald Trump speaking yesterday in the aftermath of the Orlando attack.
DONALD TRUMP: We cannot afford to talk around issues anymore. We have to address these issues head on. I called for a ban after San Bernardino and was met with great scorn and anger. But now, many years—and I have to say many years, but many are saying that I was right to do so. And although the pause is temporary, we must find out what is going on. We have to do it. It will be lifted, this ban, when and as a nation we're in a position to properly and perfectly screen these people coming into our country. They are pouring in, and we don't know what we're doing.
AMY GOODMAN: So that is Donald Trump calling for a ban on Muslims in the wake of the Orlando attacks. Your response, Isa Noyola?
ISA NOYOLA: You know, the U.S. government and the right-wing conservative leadership and groups really need to take a hard look and reflection in the mirror, because in the same ways that they're wanting to demonize and portray other cultures and other religions as violent and as cruel, they are not really understanding how the United States government, in many ways—inside detention centers, through overpolicing, through criminalization—is enacting the same violence, enacting the same rhetoric. I mean, Chase was right, around sort of the policies that have been introduced this year. All are rooted in hate. All are rooted in really, you know, stigmatizing the community as predators, as nonhuman, essentially. They're trying to dehumanize us, so that then violence can be enacted, so that then people can take action on that rhetoric and cause violence, bodily—you know, bodily harm to my community.
And I think that—you know, I was in North Carolina when HB 2 was announced, and I was in the middle of a hate rally from the—from conservative religious communities that were gathered. Thousands of people were gathered, and I was in the sea of it. And the hate was palpable. The rhetoric on stage was that my community is not human, that my community is disposable. And so, Donald Trump and many of those leaders really need to acknowledge this same rhetoric that is just—you know, that they are—that they are enacting, that they are actually, you know, causing in our society here in the United States.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about these LGBTQ nightclubs? Are they—are they increasing, the number of them around the country as sanctuaries, or are they disappearing?
ISA NOYOLA: You know, unfortunately, that is not the case. You know, spaces for queer and trans people of color, for Latino, for black communities, for—are disappearing. Here in San Francisco, we've seen various spaces and clubs for black, queer and trans folks, for Latino folks—just this year, Esta Noche in the Mission was closed and is now a hipster bar. In Los Angeles, we've seen the closure of Circus and many other places due to displacement and gentrification, and now they're becoming high-rise condos. And so we're seeing the landscape for our communities change because of sort of the broader context of what's happening, of how our communities of color are under attack, and we're being pushed out of our own communities.
And so, these nights are rare. These Latino nights are sometimes once a week or once a month or once every other couple months. They're not often. And so, the violation that took place in Orlando, that we—you know, already we are fighting so hard to keep the few spaces that are available to us, the few spaces that are carved out for us at LGBT centers, the few spaces that are created for us. We are fighting really hard to keep them, because we know how much we, as a culture, need to support each other, how these moments of crisis, we're needing the spaces to mobilize and to organize. And so, it is—you know, it is a travesty that now Orlando is faced with yet another space that's threatened and is not accessible for my community.
AMY GOODMAN: Isa Noyola, I want to thank you for being with us, director of programs for the Transgender Law Center, the largest transgender organization. She's a translatina activist and a national leader in the LGBTQ immigrants' rights movement. This is Democracy Now! When we come back, we look at the link between mass shootings and domestic violence. Stay with us.
AMY GOODMAN: "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" by Freddie Mercury. And for those listening on the radio, you can go to our website at democracynow.org, as we played the images of those lost, those murdered at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman.

Art project draws attention to violence against women in Sulaymaniyah
2:04 am 01/02/2021
An art project has been launched to draw attention to violence against women in the city of Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan.
Visual artist Tara Abdullah launched the project, called "mêyîne", which tells the stories of women subjected to violence. The project has been in development for more than three months, and 99,678 women who have been subjected to violence were interviewed. Each woman presented a piece of their clothing for the project.
In order to draw attention to the extent of violence against women, Tara Abdullah prepared a 4,800-metre-long artwork by combining the fabrics she received from women's clothes.
The artwork was displayed in the most well-known streets of the city, from Nalî Park to the Sulaymaniyah Court.

"'...Go clean your room or your toys are going out with the trash.'" — Anne M.
This is my most used quote. I never thought I'd threaten my daughter with such extremes, like my parents did me, but I totally do. And I've thrown some pretty cool things in the trash to prove my point. ...Gonna miss you 'round-about.
How about you? What your least favorite mom-ism? We can share in our unbelief of each other together.


As a woman entrepreneur, you have to deal with people, make crucial and business-changing decisions, plan strategies, execute policies and so on. You can't do all these unless you have full confidence in your own capabilities.
Doubt is a real issue for any business woman. The negative thoughts that go through your mind can easily take away your confidence or distract you from doing your job.
1. Nurture your creative side. Confidence comes not from all the self-motivational hype you tell yourself, but from actually doing something creative.
And in order to do something creative, you need to have a "creative time". Set aside at least one hour per day to think up and do something creative. Or if you can't afford an hour a day, 15 creative minutes would do, as long as you stick to them every day.
2. Focus on what you do best. One of the best ways to build confidence is to identify your strengths and capitalize on them. Find ways to integrate your strengths into your daily activities.
Also, don't forget to improve on your strength. Honing your existing skills, talent and abilities is the shortest way to doing something creative.
3. Identify your weaknesses. If there are weaknesses that affect your self-confidence, do something about them right away. Make a plan to, if not totally eliminate, reduce them. Addressing your weaknesses and doing and making an honest effort to improve on them can help boost confidence.
4. Keep track of your accomplishments. Make a daily to-do list and cross out tasks that you were able to finish every day. Crossing out tasks on your list make you more aware of your constant accomplishments, thus making you more productive. And when you're feeling productive, you feel more confident.
5. Measure accomplishments against your previous accomplishments. Don't measure yourself or accomplishment against a successful entrepreneur you look up to.
Don't compare yourself to others. Compare yourself now to where you've been a year ago, or five years ago. Look at the growth and little accomplishments that you've made for the past year or so.
We all have our own ways of maintaining and keeping our confidence level high..what are yours? The MACsWomen community would love to hear them in the comments section below.

Jury trial starts for Orrville man accused of trafficking meth
Eric R. Ramey was indicted on one count of aggravated trafficking in methamphetamine from an incident on Sept. 29.
Jury trial starts for Orrville man accused of trafficking meth Eric R. Ramey was indicted on one count of aggravated trafficking in methamphetamine from an incident on Sept. 29. Check out this story on coshoctontribune.com: https://www.coshoctontribune.com/story/news/local/2019/08/08/orrville-man-charged-aggravated-trafficking-meth-faces-trial-coshocton/1953561001/
Leonard Hayhurst, Coshocton Tribune Published 2:03 p.m. ET Aug. 8, 2019
First day of a jury trial was held Thursday for Eric R. Ramey of Orrville.
Ramey is accused of trafficking in methamphetamine, a first-degree felony, from an incident Sept. 29.
Public defender admits Ramey was found with meth, but possession is not trafficking.
Co-defendant Tiffany Wiggins was previously sentenced to 8 years in prison for the crime.
COSHOCTON - The first day of a jury trial for an Orrville man accused of trafficking in methamphetamine was held Thursday in Coshocton County Common Pleas Court.
Eric R. Ramey, 34, 133 Chateau Cirlce, Orrville, was indicted in November with one count of aggravated trafficking in methamphetamine, a first-degree felony, from an incident on Sept. 29. A co-defendant in the case, Tiffany N. Wiggins of Coshocton, was sentenced on the same in charge in February to eight years in prison with time from convictions in two other drug cases to be served concurrently.
The first day of the trial was scheduled to include viewing of a video showing a confidential informant buying drugs and testimony from the informant, Wiggins and law enforcement officers. Friday is set to include testimony from a representative of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation on the analysis of the drugs recovered.
Court documents state approximately 40 grams of methamphetamine was recovered from Room 2 of the Downtown Motel during a drug raid on Sept. 29. The amount of drugs and the fact that the motel is in the vicinity of a school, namely Sacred Heart Catholic School, led to the charge being a first-degree felony. Also recovered from the room were items indicating sell of drugs, such as baggies and a digital scale.

Coshocton County Prosecutor Jason Given said a covert video of the controlled drug purchase made by the informant shows him purchasing meth from Wiggins with $150 of buy money that had serial numbers recorded. During the video, Wiggins is seen seeking approval from a man lying in bed to make the sale and on the price.
"Through the video and Ms. Wiggins testimony, we will show that it was the defendant's methamphetamine, that he was the owner of that methamphetamine," Given said.
A search warrant was obtained and a drug raid on the room was planned for later that day. During surveillance of the room by Det. Dave Stone and Det. Tim Bethel, Ramey left the room and started walking down the street. Ramey was apprehended by law enforcement at that time. He had 3.5 grams of meth and $80 of the buy money used by the informant on him, Given said.
More law enforcement news:
Brewer draws 15-year sentence for home invasion
Indictments handed down for drugs, rape and theft
More indicted with Coshocton man in Miamisburg murder
Wiggins was then arrested when she exited the room to throw away something in a trash bin. The room was then searched where more of the buy money, meth and drug-related items were found along with signs of drug use such as syringes and smoking pipes. Given said also found in the room was mail addressed to Ramey and clothing belonging to a man.
Public Defender Jeffrey Mullen admitted his client was apprehended with meth on his person, but that possession and trafficking are very different things. He also argued that the man on the video is never clearly seen, referred to by name and his voice is never heard. Mullen said the evidence clearly shows Wiggins dealing drugs, but not Ramey.
"You will see evidence that the defendant was in possession of meth. Nowhere in this entire trial will you see direct evidence with your own eyes of the defendant selling methamphetamine out of that motel room," Mullen told the jury. "It is important that when you're brought to a criminal trial that the evidence establishes beyond a reasonable doubt the crime you are accused of. I believe when you see and weigh all of the evidence presented today and tomorrow you will not find beyond a reasonable doubt that Eric Ramey was trafficking in meth."

The High court in Kampala has declined to restrain the Uganda Communications' Communication (UCC) from deactivating all unregistered sim-cards tomorrow 19th/May 2017.
This after Justice Steven Musota dismissed an application for a temporary Injunction filed by a one Norman Tumuhimbise and a Human rights Watchdog; Trumpet Ug Ltd. that sought to block UCC from switching off unregistered Mobile phone users until the main case is heard and disposed off.
Justice Musota reasoned that the said application is overtaken by events since it was filed long before government extended the sim-card registration deadline to tomorrow's date.
He therefore ordered lawyers for both UCC who were led by Edwin Karugire and the applicants' lawyer Eron Kiiza to file written submissions on the remaining issue of only recognizing the National ID as the official document for this exercise.
Justice Musota said he will deliver judgment on the matter on the 8th/June 2017.

Stakeholders and business houses are being invited to participate in postal voting awareness sessions by the Fijian Elections Office [FEO] in a bid to prepare them for the 2018 General Election.
FEO Director Operations, Anaseini Senimoli, said they approached service providers where staff – who are voters would benefit from postal voting services.
Business houses in various sectors which would be providing services on Election Day are the major targets as their employees might not be able to access their polling venue if they were working on the day of the elections.
"We had identified our stakeholders and divided them in the following sectors – Tourism Sector, Transport Sector, Emergency Services Sector, Security and Boarder Control Sector, Infrastructure and Utilities Sector and Business Sector," she said.
Ms Senimoli said awareness was integral for employees and stakeholders in these sectors, as they may be working on Election Day and therefore are eligible for postal voting.
It is anticipated that staff who attend these awareness sessions will in turn convey the necessary information to their staff who may be working on Election Day and want to apply for Postal vote.
The Fijian Elections Office has appointed Karyl Winter as the Deputy Supervisor of Elections for the conduct of the 2018 Parliamentary Elections.
Ms Winter has significant experience in the management of elections, both in New Zealand and as a technical team leader for the New Zealand Electoral Commission programme of electoral assistance to election management bodies in the Pacific.
She possesses 27 years of experience in elections and was a Returning Officer for many years and has been the Regional Manager for New Zealand's South Island for two elections.
Supervisor of Elections, Mr Mohammed Saneem said Ms Winter has extensive knowledge of the Fijian Electoral System and its processes which is a significant asset for the FEO for the 2018 General Election.
Ms Winter is on secondment from the New Zealand Electoral Commission and said she was looking forward to the conduct of the 2018 General Election.
"The New Zealand team has been working with the FEO over several years to help prepare to conduct this election, and it will be rewarding to see all those plans in operation at election time", she said.
Elections Officials for the 2018 General Election who are yet to sign their contracts with the Fijian Elections Office have until 28th March, 2018 to do so.
Director Corporate Services, Mr Sanjeshwar Ram, said that the Fijian Elections Office is currently in the process of having the contracts signed by all the successful applicants through the various centers Fiji wide.
This process began on the 6th of March and will continue until the 28th of March.
"A total of 520 Elections Officials have signed their contract since March 6, 2018 with 244 signing in the Central Division, 101 in the Eastern Division, 88 in the Northern Division and 87 in the Western Division," he said.
Mr Ram said the target is to have over 8,000 contracts signed by end of next week.
Successful applicants are being notified via SMS of their assigned venue of contract signing.
Mr Ram said the contract signing venues will close on 28th March, 2018.
"Our venues to sign contracts have been advertised in both the daily newspapers and we urge Elections Officials to come forward to their assigned venues to sign their contracts by the deadline.
This is the final opportunity we are giving to all the successful applicants," he said.
The Fijian Elections Office [FEO] has expanded its services around the country.
Supervisor of Elections, Mr Mohammed Saneem said the initiative is a bid to provide services in areas where the FEO did not have Divisional Offices or Voter Services Centres.
"Fijians, Voters or potential voters who wish to register or get their VoterCards replaced or, update their details can now visit any of these locations around the country to access Voter Services," he said.
Acting Director Strategic Development and Communications, Edwin Nand said Fijians will not have to travel far to access services as these office locations were closer to residential locations.
"It was an opportune time for the FEO to take advantage of the existing machinery to create an opportunity within that machinery for Fijians to benefit from Voter Services for the upcoming General Election whenever it may be held," he said.
Details of the new Voter Services Centre locations are available in newspapers from tomorrow and also on website – www.feo.org.fj/voter-services-center/ and on the FEO Facebook page – @Fijianelectionsoffice.
The Fijian Elections Office has commenced the verification of the 2018 General Election Provisional Voter List through the use of the district advisory councilors and the Turaga ni Koro's around Fiji.
Following a successful meeting with the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs and with the assistance of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs, the FEO has begun distributing the Provisional Voter List to respective Turaga ni Koros so that they may be able to take it to their areas and verify against those who are present in those areas under the Voter List.
The FEO anticipates that this exercise may take up to three weeks and by the time the National Voter Registration Drive starts, the FEO hopes to have received all the Provisional Voter List back in order for it to be prepared to make necessary changes when teams visit the places on the ground.
The FEO will also shortly launch an SMS platform for Fijians to be able to text their voter number and verify their polling stations.
"We are still well in time to allow Fijians who may have now changed their residential address to apply to have their polling station details amended," the Supervisor of Elections, Mr Mohammed Saneem said.
The Provisional List of Polling Venues for the whole country has also be published on the FEO website and is available at www.feo.org.fj/polling-venues and any Fijian who wishes to peruse this is invited to do so.
According to the Electoral Act, the last day for voter registration will be the date that writ is issued and as such Fijians have every opportunity right now if they have not been registered to take advantage of the registration platforms available at many of our Voter Services Centres around the country.
We have this afternoon witnessed statements made by Lynda Tabuya who is no longer from PDP. Her press conference this afternoon is purely political and we question her motives at asserting the findings of the FEO towards other events concerning workers.
Lynda Tabuya must understand that FEO's actions on PDP are purely on her own failures to follow the law and the PDP Constitution. This is clearly evident and not disputed by her.
We have once again noted that she completely fails in her understanding of the law and is surely misguided when she says that the SoE released minutes of the meeting on 07 December 2017. Members of the media are invited to check the press release of yesterday which only reveals the SoE's findings and not any other matter.
The SoE clearly has the powers to make his findings publicly known when exercising public function such as the current case of requiring the PDP to comply with the law. Ms Tabuya has in fact revealed more about the 07 December 2017 meeting and the role of Felix Anthony in PDP than was found by the SoE.
The findings on the MoU of 07 December 2017 were made public. Following the receipt of additional information, it is found that this MoU signed by PDP did not have proper Constitutional authorization of the PDP Management Board.
It is hoped that Lynda Tabuya can understand the basis of the SoE's decision in an objective manner. Of course we cannot comment on her obvious attempts at politicizing this matter to shroud obvious failures to comply with PDP Constitution and the Political Parties Act.
The FEO operates within the laws that created it and at all times ensures that public law action it undertakes has proper legal and factual basis.
The Registrar of Political Parties has this afternoon lifted the suspension of PDP to allow the PDP to comply with the Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding & Disclosures) Act, 2013 [ACT].
"Following the receipt of various documents from the PDP, we have established that the officials had neglected and/or failed to ensure that they had properly implemented the requirements of the PDP Constitution in particular, in relation to the appointment of an acting President following the resignation of Lynda Tabuya so that the Party was able to duly comply with the requirements of section 11 of the Act" explained Mohammed Saneem Supervisor of Elections and Registrar of Political Parties.
Board.' We find that PDP has 4 Vice President positions as per clause 20.1 of its Constitution and any of these 4 were eligible.
It is noted that only Vijay Sigh resigned as Vice President of the Party. Therefore, the PDP should, according to its Constitution have 3 other remaining Vice Presidents.
On the basis of the above findings, the Registrar has found that the absence of various Office Holders in PDP breaches its own Constitution and has therefore required the PDP to rectify this breach. The follow-on effect will facilitate the application under section 11 of the Act to be properly made.
The PDP has until 28 February 2018 to remedy the breach failing which de-registration procedures under the Act will activate.
*Members of the media will note that it was this meeting that authorized the former President of PDP to sign an MOU with Social Democratic Liberal Party.
Only 10 days remain for persons who wish to apply for positions as Election Officials in the 2018 General Election.
The last phase of recruitment began on 05 January 2018 and will end on 26 January 2018.
Fijian Elections Office [FEO] Director Corporate Services Mr Sanjeshwar Ram has confirmed additional recruitment venues are being set up in locations where the response has been low.
"The FEO has made every effort to enable all eligible Fijians to apply to work in the 2018 General Election, and this is the final opportunity for persons who have not done so. Individuals must understand that there will be no further recruitments once this exercise ends on the 26th of January 2018," said Mr Ram.
The FEO recruitment teams will be in Taveuni from 22 January to 26 January 2018, while two teams will cover Kadavu from 22 January to 25 January 2018.
Full details of the recruitment dates and venues are available on the FEO website as well as our facebook pages.
Applicants are reminded to bring along their VoterCard, current/active bank account details, copy of FNPF statement and TIN letter or joint card.
The Fijian Elections Office [FEO] launched Fiji's first voter education curriculum for Year 10 school students this morning.
The curriculum has 5 lessons and the last one is the culminating activity which is a mock simulation practical activity.
This curriculum is aimed at giving a hands on experience to students who have not yet reached the age of eighteen  to actually learn how to cast a vote.
Students will use the Mock Election Kit consisting of mock election materials to conduct a mock election activity in their schools. Some of the materials in the kit include ballot boxes, ballot papers, voting screens, Voter Instruction Booklets and VoterCards.
The FEO has printed 40,000 mock ballot papers for this project. In this activity, students will play and demonstrate the role of the SoE, Presiding Officer, Polling Day Workers, Observer, Media Official, Polling Agent and voters.
The mock election activity is simplified keeping in mind the ability of Year 10 students to understand and absorb the required information.
Three videos have also been developed for this purpose which will assist the teachers and students to conduct Voting, Counting and Seat Allocation.
The FEO has printed 20,000 copies of Student's Workbook and 2,000 copies of the Teacher's Manual which will be distributed to 16,105 students in 178 secondary schools throughout Fiji.
This website has user friendly and disability friendly features such as text-tospeech feature which can be utilized by students who are visually impaired. Students and teachers can access the website by using the web address www.votereducation.feo.org.fj.
The FEO has also conducted two  phases of Training of Trainers [ToT]; the first being for FEO Core Staff and the second for FEO Trained Trainers who will be sent out in the field to train 348 Social Science teachers Fiji wide.
"The efforts of the developers of this curriculum is in line with the Electoral Commission's theme, 'Raising the Standards in the Delivery of Elections in Fiji' and this is something we are very proud of," said Mr Saneem.
"This year, we expect more than 16,100 students to go through this course in Term 1," he added.
With the final round of Election Officials recruitment to begin on 08 January 2018, the Fijian Elections Office is calling out to persons who have already applied but not attended the half day training to come forward.
Director Corporate Services Mr Sanjeshwar Ram says 1,539 applicants who have been selected for training have been unable to confirm a training date.
The next round of training begins from 22 January 2018 and all applicants who have been unavailable for training so far are encouraged to contact the Fijian Elections Office to book their date, time and venue.
"The FEO has decided that individuals who cannot make an effort to attend the half day training this time around will not be considered for Election Officials recruitment", said Mr Ram.
The Fijian Elections Office also confirms that the same decision has been taken for 832 applicants who are unreachable via the mobile phone numbers provided during recruitment.
"These persons have not been completely ruled out as yet – they have a final chance to reach out to the FEO and make the necessary arrangements.
To date, a total of 10,281 Election Official applicants have been trained in all Divisions.


Not too sure this question has ever been adequately answered, at least in the American versions of karate. I can tell you only that when I started to seriously study karate the weapons involved in the style I chose was often referred to as 'kobudo' and was always, always, translated at karate weapons.
Kobudo [古武道] according to the shinjinbukan dojo, the characters all mean the same and the general definition given is, "The ancient martial way. In general, the term may apply to any ancient martial art. It is commonly used to refer to the Okinawan weapons systems, also referred to as 'kobu-jutsu'.
Ryukyu Kobu-jutsu [琉球古武術] or Ryukyu Kobu-do [琉球古武琉球古武] according to the shinjinbukan dojo definition means, "The Okinawan weapons system founded by Taira Shinken and later continued by his disciple Akamine Eisuke.
So far, none of these actually refer to the weapons as the sole art taught and practiced often under the heading of karate, empty hand. Another conundrum I feel makes for more convalusion is the term, 'martial or bu,' that indicates martial in the phrase martial art. Martial or bu is about the art of war, military arts, military force and the sword but not so much as to empty hand with ancient Okinawan implements such as the bo, the tuifa and the kama, etc. The question, for a more accurate perception, is what terms, if any, would better describe the art of ancient Okinawan weapons?
Ancient [古い]; Okinawan [沖縄]; Weapons [剣戟 and/or 兵器]?
Kodai Okinawa no buki [古代沖縄の武器] through google translation from English to Japanese means ancient okinawan weapons.
Still, with this slightly more detailed definition it still does not connect in a more direct way to the ancient okinawan weaponry that is unique to the practice and teaching of karate or Taira Shinken's kobudo.
In the end, is kobudo appropriate to the practice of the ancient okinawan weaponry of the 'bo and tuifa and nunchaku and kama, etc.?' If we assume that the term is being used correctly today on Okinawa then we can accept that but I suspect that they use the term simply out of convenience and of course respect for Taira Shinken who pioneered the separate and distinct system of Okinawan weaponry training and practices and teachings.
Personally, I am not amicable to combining karate, empty hand, with kobudo or kodai no buki because the two are, at least to my perceptions of ancient Okinawan martial disciplines where empty handed training was a prerequisite to weapons training and that the weapons training was more in line with military operations than the civil form of today's karate.
Kodai no buki [古代の武器] Ancient Weapon(s).
So, even if I am correct and accurate, what does this mean to the community and will the term kobudo be removed? I think not, like most things it has become ingrained in the mind and belief systems of all martial artists so we can expect that it will remain the term for Okinawan weapons practiced in Okinawan karate. The chances of acceptance and implementation are remote to plain old 'ain't never ever gonna happen'!
If we could establish a culture and belief that every facet of life here is important and that nothing in our world, society and culture is to be taken fro granted and then if we can all establish and live a relation with others governed by how well we trust one another with our very lives I feel we could get back that spirit that made this country and its people great so long ago.
Is karate ... based on principles or technique?
The answer seems simple but as with all things martial arts you end up with - "It Depends!"
Starting with the second first, technique(s) can be defined two ways where the most obvious is derived from the modern technique based training model while the second ways is more apropos and at the same time either unknown or misunderstood.
Then there is the first, a principled based model where the universal underlying principles connected to multiple methodologies, etc., is the basis or foundation for all martial arts.
Herein lies the rub to the original question that started the mess to begin with. Herein lies the article you will read today in my attempt to put a light on the question so I will begin as before, with the second.
Note that Mr. MacYoung does not use this term like so many karate dojo, i.e., the technique of punching with the fist, the techniques of striking with a palm or the technique of kicking with the ball of the foot. This is all novice stuff meant to teach not necessarily techniques but how to move, it is the moves to achieve actions, it is about a collection of appropriate moves for the situation that becomes, in that moment only, a collection of movements that make up the technique used in fense. Then the rest is basically tactics to apply those techniques to achieve a goal of fense. Learning how to move and the proper physiokinetics necessary to perform those movements as techniques and so forth.
I believe you get the picture regarding technique(s), so now lets take a look at a favorite subject and perception of fense karate, the principles. The principles to which I speak are those fundamental principles of fense through the discipline of karate or martial arts. They are the same regardless of style or system, the are universal and they provide us the foundation to make any fense discipline work.
These principles that I am writing about are the majors while within the disciplines of the mental and physical there are other principles involved as well. These minor principles tend to involve some aspect of technique, moves + actions + collective = technique, such as certain principles involved in body manipulation, i.e., ball joints vs. hinge joints, etc., and the process to manipulate them to achieve a tactical and strategic goal. You can find out more about that specific example by getting Rory Miller's video's on that subject. The application of major and minor principles also involves methodologies used to get things done, i.e., methodologies are a collection of techniques as described above but are not always techniques per say but those actions that lead to things like avoidance, awareness, and escape and evasion - all fense strategies and tactics to get-r-done.
Now, lets diverge a bit from the original question that I would pose and that is, "Is karate based on principles, techniques or changes. For me, my mind tends to go toward changes because as I will explain, everything is about change, everything is about yin-yang and everything is about how we apply ourselves toward not just change for changes sake but the balance we achieve toward the ever flowing chaotic change that life presents every single moment of life be it normal day-to-day things or when it comes to serious conflict and its resulting violence.
The true question is not whether karate is about principles or technique or even both; it is a question of "change!" The true nature and essence of karate is the principle of change, learning the patterns (kata) of change. We endeavor to learn rhythms, cadences and patterns when the truth is we should be learning about change.
The very basis on which like and the way, Tao, is about change and resulted in the creation of the I Ching and other classics. The effort was to teach about the Universe and that means it's only constant - Change!
The very essence of life is change: birth, growth, decline and death. The fabric of our universe is about birth, growth, decline and death therefore that process is about the changes life pulls us through and change is life's cornerstone.
Evolution is about change, to grow one must learn from that experience meaning change meaning survival or human kind would have ceased to exist long ago. The very word and process of evolution is change geared toward survival according to the very changes naturally occurring as a result of the natural changes that come from the very nature of our world and universe.
If not for the nature of changes life as we know it may not have come to be - change is inevitable. If not for the changing seasons the fuel we need for sustenance would not be possible.
All this says to me that the true nature of disciplines such as karate should be based on change. It is amazing how many karate-ka work so hard to avoid change that the very nature of karate, change, has all but disappeared.
Karate as a fense system is about learning how to handle one of the most chaotic and changing form of conflict and violence where mastery comes not from the memorization of technique but our abilities to adapt to - change!
I feel that all my studies to date have come to realize that the underlying theme to all reality based models of fense are about handling changes, unexpected and unique changes from moment to moment and situation to situation.
Oh, forgot, now I am going to throw my personal monkey wrench into the mix by answering the modified question. No, it isn't going to be a long repetitive answer since you already got that one but a much shorter answer.
Here it is: "In a nutshell, karate is based on all three concepts, i.e., it is based on principles both major and minor; it is based on technique as described as moves, actions, a collective and its resulting techniques; it is based on change, i.e., the chaos of violence and conflict that requires rapidly changing circumstances and environments that is conflict and violence. In short, it is all three of those.
