OP-ED: Sea-Watch Captain freed. A victory for humanitarian rescue at sea.

Geneva, Switzerland. Captain Carola Rackete has now been freed, but the European political controversy continues.
The judicial decision delivered a much needed victory for both common-sense and humanitarian acts of rescue at sea, thereby setting a precedent to be reflected on for all vessel Captains and policy makers alike.
Judge Alessandra Vella made a decision that reflected no case to answer, as the charges raised by Italian prosecutors against the Sea-Watch Captain were non-applicable in this case.
Sea-Watch, nonetheless, still anticipates further investigations based on a prosecutorial suspicion of facilitation of illegal migration. Meanwhile, the Sea-Watch 3 vessel remains detained by Italian authorities.
The charges submitted against Captain Rackete focused on allegations that she had rammed a military vessel. The Italian vessel was allegedly preventing the Sea-Watch 3 from entering Lampedusa's port. As it has been now ruled, Captain Rackete acted entirely lawfully by acting under her professional obligations as the Captain of the Sea-Watch 3, fulfilling her duty to save life at sea.
Rackete was "doing her duty saving human lives" ruled Judge Vella.
While many expected Italy's new Directives aimed at fining migrant rescuers to create further obstacles for NGO rescue operations, it is yet to be proven that the Sea-Watch Captain and her crew are "human traffickers" as per the Italian Directives. This is therefore a distracting political show that has been created to fail as, as one familiar with the applicable law would know that one of the criteria of such an allegation, is that to be a trafficker, the accused would have been making profit out of such activity. This is clearly not the case.
Mr Salvini, Italy's interior minister, and leader of far-right Lega party remains resolute in his migration position, though Ms. Sibeth Ndiaye, the French Government's spokeswoman, has heavy criticised the Italian Government saying: " "I think that, basically, the Italian Government has not been up to the task." and stating that "Mr Matteo Salvini's behaviour has not been acceptable as far as I am concerned."
Let us be reminded that Sea-Watch, as well as other humanitarian NGOs, are operating under strict compliance with well-established humanitarian principles. The Italian Interior Minister appears to be intentionally spreading misinforming the general public through misinterpretation of maritime law, levying unnecessary fines, and further calling Captain Rackete an outlaw and a people smuggler.
UN human rights experts condemned the bill aimed at fining migrant rescuers, raising global indignation towards the existence of such decree in the first place.
Furthermore, the UN press release notes as follows: "The Directives stigmatize migrants as "possible terrorists, traffickers and smugglers", without providing evidence, the experts said. "We are concerned that this type of rhetoric will further increase the climate of hatred and xenophobia, as previously highlighted in another letter to which the Italian Government is also yet to reply,"
During the two nights during which Capt. Rackete was under house arrest, international support grew from international stakeholders, governments and civil society organisations.
Meantime, UN spokesperson for the Secretary-General Antonio Guterress, Stéphane Dujarric, warned Italy against the criminalization of sea rescue: "no vessel or ship master should be at risk of being fined for coming to the aid of boats in distress, where loss of life is imminent,". Germany's Foreign Affairs Minister, Heiko Maas, further firmly criticized Italy for arresting Captain Rackete, stating that sea rescue should never be criminalized.
Libyan Detention Centers
Libya is not a port of safety for persons rescued in the Central Mediterranean Sea despite assurances that it is, and therefore Captain Rackete's decision to enter the port of Lampedusa was a justified and necessary one based on well-documented facts and evidence concerning gross human rights abuses in Libya, including the latest news that migrants were made to work in weapons factories and were shot at when they tired to flee.
Soon after the release of Captain Rackete from house arrest this week, a migrant detention centre was hit by an airstrike in Tajoura, in the eastern suburbs of Tripoli on Wednesday morning, 3 July. Housing over 610 people with a reported 53 dead and over 130 severely injured. UN Secretary General, António Guterres, called for an independent investigation, and the UN labelled it as "a war crime and odious bloody carnage". Amnesty has called for an ICC investigation into war crimes, and UNHCR has publicly requested to halt all efforts to sending migrants rescued at sea back to Libya.
Under International Humanitarian Law it is well established that civilians should never be a targeted, yet it is still shameful to see that the EU's collective efforts and migration policies are concentrated on keeping migrants from attempting the Mediterranean crossing from Libya, where they are subject to arbitrary detention and the worse forms of human rights violations.
Weakening of the Search And Rescue system
The EU approach to the coordination of disembarkation has failed to show its efficiency and effectiveness to a known issue. It is also worth noting that it is in this context, that NGO search-and-rescue operations have also been systematically criminalized since 2015.
In the latest case, it was well over two weeks of waiting for an EU solution, despite assurance from several countries that the Sea-Watch migrants would be taken by other EU States, that Captain Rackete decided to enter the port of Lampedusa.
Ruben Neugebauer, Sea-Watch's spokesperson, state during a press conference on Tuesday that one of the potential major consequences of this failure to coordinate efforts and the risk of criminalisation might put captains of commercial vessels operating in the Central Mediterranean Sea in a difficult position where they will think twice before rescuing a person found in distress. Sea rescue is however a duty, and those who find themselves in such position need the full support and cooperation of all applicable authorities.
Next week Captain Rackete is to return in front of a Prosecuter in Sicily where she is expected to be charged with facilitation of illegal migration, a conviction for which she risks up to 15 years in prison.
The likelihood of prosecutorial success after the first ruling is now in question, and any evidence being proffered for new charges will come under close judicial, political and civil society scrutiny, as any outcome and potential trial will also shape the course of European policy and politics related to the migrant issue.
Important Note to Readers
Human Rights at Sea continues to publish educational materials, publications, investigative case studies of individual and family testimony highlighting unacceptable conditions onboard vessels of all tonnages, as well as throughout the associated maritime supply chain, in order to establish greater public awareness of the issues raised without compromising our editorial freedom.
The charity does not subscribe to any imposed protocols and agreements with other entities effectively limiting the ability to report freely and objectively disclose facts, including the reality of unacceptable labour, and wider human rights abuses at sea.
The charity will therefore continue to take a legal and moral stand whenever and wherever it can to fairly advocate for the betterment of human rights, working conditions, and the reduction in abuse at sea. This includes pressing issues such as the criminalisation of seafarers and humanitarian rescuers, abuses towards migrants, impunity of flag States in transparently reacting to and addressing reported abuse, the expansion of the positive contributory role of civil society organisations in the maritime sector, and the provision of greater awareness of effective remedies when abuse occurs.
Our Ask in return
We rely on public and private donations to be able to continue this invaluable and independent work free of bias and interference and every donation, however small or large, goes to assure continuation of our transparent and objective front-end work ensuring that 'human rights apply at sea, as they do on land'. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BebeLola from Great earrings I lost a blue diamond huggie earring that held a blue and white dangling piece. I was able to use these white diamond huggies to replace the hoop part. So glad that these worked. Plus, I also can wear them as is, too. Double-bonus!
Rated 4 out of 5 by Choosygirl from Cute little pair of earrings! Cute little pair of earrings. Great for everyday wear. I actually wish they were smaller as they actually do not "hug" my earlobes. But, overall I am pleased with the purchase. Great value . Found simliar ones at other stores that were much more expensive. Like the diamonds on the inside and outside as well. Would recommend. Ross was great, shipped promptly.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kate from Just okay Based on the description I knew these earrings were going to be small but they are miniscule which makes them difficult to remove. The inside row of diamonds are wasted as they can't even be seen when wearing them. On the plus side because they are so small they are the only earrings I've ever owned that I can leave in all the time- even sleeping with them in is fine- and they do sparkle.

HOW TO COMBAT THE NEVER-ENDING WINTER.
Now keep in mind as I'm writing this, it's snowing sideways out my window. Cars are sliding. Daffodils and Robins are pissed and confused. When you read this article throughout the year you'll get a very nice peek into the mindset this fall/winter/spring has given a sample size of Erie residents. So what can be done to make our lives a bit better?
Yep, go to a bar, a grocery store, a brewery, hell even a family-friendly fast casual restaurant. Talk to someone about getting a beer, pronto. And not just any beer, a local beer. Once you have that beer halfway done you'll feel better, the clouds will part, birds will sing and all will be right with the world.
If all of us do that then the worst that can happen is we all feel a little bit better. The best thing that can happen is the weather clears up, that's a 50/50 chance! WHO'S WITH ME!

MHS graduate takes Broadway musical tour of US and Canada
By Judy J. Beasley Last updated Jan 9, 2023
A Manistee High School graduate is on the road again for the sixth time touring with musical productions.
Parus said the tour kicked off in Providence, Rhode Island in September, then the cast and crew traveled to Cincinnati and Detroit in November.
"The whole family came and it was also my bandleader debut in Detroit," he said. "So it was a really special complete connection to Michigan on many levels (type of experience)."
Parus noted in an email that his parents Matt Parus and Sandee Jones, both of Manistee, have "always been extremely supportive of my musical adventures".
The tour continues this month in Texas, then continues in Florida, California and Canada before concluding in California on May 7.
Shane Parus
Musical debut at Manistee
Parus started playing the piano by ear around the age of 7 before taking piano lessons at Manistee.
"Also during this time, I started in a fifth-grade band at Manistee playing percussion. Throughout middle school and high school, I played percussion in the band," he said.
He expressed his gratitude to his teachers like former MHS band manager Cindy Swan-Eagan and Joy Smith, who was his percussion teacher at Manistee.
He also began acting, playing the piano and conducting music with performances at the Ramsdell Theater in Manistee in 1998.
"These people took a chance on me and was it okay? I do not really know. Maybe, … but those people were so nice to let me do that," Parus said.
He also says after joining the "Pretty Woman" performance that he's been working with someone he's long admired from the "Rent" and "Aida" productions: Tony Award and Drama Desk Award nominee Adam Pascal.
"I used to listen to it all the time on the original cast recordings of 'Rent' and 'Aida' – the Roger Davis original in 'Rent' and the Radames original in 'Aida' – when I was growing up in Manistee, so I started working with him every night is an absolute treat. He's a great guy!" Parus said.
After high school, Parus went to Western Michigan University and studied percussion performance.
"So I went to school for percussion, but I play piano and keyboard as work now," Parus noted.
That's because there are more job opportunities in piano than percussion, he said.
When he graduated from Western, he got a job on cruise ships as a percussionist.
"Then they cut the percussion position but they had two keyboards and I said, 'You know what, I always like to work on cruise ships, can I play the keyboard? '" Parus said.
Since then, Parus has been involved in works like "Beauty and the Beast", "Memphis", "Fiddler on the Roof", "We the People" and "The Sound of Music".
Advice and dynamics
The travel aspect of touring shows is a big draw for Parus.
"Almost every Monday, it's a trip to the airport to get on the plane to go to a new city. It's exciting and exhausting at the same time, but new cities are fun," he said. "I love staying in hotels, I love finding new Airbnbs to stay in different cities."
The group also spends a lot of time together working and traveling.
"Fortunately, all six of us in the band really get along," he said. "But the group, we kind of have our own group that is getting really, really close together. Whether it's having dinner before the show, hanging out after the show, sharing rides together at the airport on Mondays, it's a lot of fun. You also live mainly with your colleagues.
Finding personal time is also important with a touring setup, he said.
Parus has not returned home since September 2021 as he is on tour on the road.
When it comes to shows, he said he wasn't at a point yet where he could be picky about which ones he did.
"If an offer comes in, it's work, so I'll take it," he said. "But I love telling stories, I love the idea of telling stories through music and that connection with the band, the orchestra, the actors on stage and working together to tell that story."
Pictured are band from the first national tour "Pretty Woman" (front row, left to right) Magda Kress, bass; Daniel Klintworth, conductor/keyboard and Oscar Bautista, guitar; (back row) Shane Parus, associate conductor/keyboardist; Kevin McNaughton, drums; Claudio Rainò, guitar.

He said he liked the "basic idea that the music is a vehicle to help tell the story and that the music itself tells the story if written well."
Parus' advice to anyone looking for a similar career is to listen to as much music as possible.
"You can never know enough, especially (in) the musical theater world…which has a wide genre of styles, especially the newer stuff can be a lot of rock music," he said. "'Pretty Woman' is written by Bryan Adams, the Bryan Adams you know from the 80s, the rock star of the 90s, the music of 'Summer of '69'."
He said that meant that every night Parus played rock ballads.
"But if I hadn't grown up listening to classic rock, I wouldn't know who Bryan Adams was. So I'm able to know that music and know that ultimately (that song "Pretty Woman") is just a Bryan Adams song. So I have to play it like I hear it on the radio.
He also offered tips for playing any opportunity that presents itself.
"When I was in college maybe, the Portage Point Inn in Onekama made me play the piano for an Easter brunch, for example. I don't even know how it happened, but I just sat at the piano for three hours and played music," he recalled. "I have to think that somehow helped me get to where I am now."

Justia Dockets & Filings Third Circuit Pennsylvania Eastern District BRADLEY-WILLIAMS v. AGENCY INSURANCE COMPANY OF MARYLAND, INC. et al Filing 10
BRADLEY-WILLIAMS v. AGENCY INSURANCE COMPANY OF MARYLAND, INC. et al
MEMORANDUM AND/OR OPINION SIGNED BY HONORABLE GERALD A. MCHUGH ON 10/12/17. 10/13/17 ENTERED AND COPIES E-MAILED.(ti, )
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA MELINDA BRADLEY-WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, : : : : : : : : : v. AGENCY INSURANCE COMPANY OF MARYLAND, INC. and DURHAM INSURANCE GROUP, INC. Defendants. MCHUGH, J. CIVIL ACTION No. 17-3755 OCTOBER 12, 2017 MEMORANDUM This is an action brought by a policyholder against her automobile insurance carrier and the agent who serviced the policy. She alleges that her property damage claim for the total loss of her vehicle to fire was wrongly denied, and that her agent improperly continued to collect premiums on the policy notwithstanding their knowledge of the destruction of the insured property. Defendants have removed this action to federal court, seeking dismissal of the claim against the (non-diverse) agent on the ground that the agent was fraudulently joined, and further seeking dismissal of the entire case on the ground that the Plaintiff violated a condition precedent of the insurance contract by failing to give a recorded statement before bringing this action. I am not persuaded that the agent for the policy was fraudulently joined, and will therefore not reach the merits of the case, but rather remand it to state court. 1 Relevant Facts The complaint alleges that Plaintiff Melinda Bradley-Williams, a Pennsylvania resident, could not find her vehicle as she was leaving for work one morning and reported it missing to the police. The vehicle was found set on fire and destroyed that same day. The vehicle was insured by Agency Insurance Company ("the carrier"), a Maryland corporation, and the policy had been issued through Durham Insurance Group ("the agent"), a Pennsylvania company, which acted on Agency's behalf in issuing the policy and assisted in handling Plaintiff's claim (collectively, "the Defendants"). The claim was investigated by the insurer, which requested a substantial amount of documentation from Plaintiff during the course of its inquiry. Ultimately, Plaintiff was advised that the insurer was rejecting the claim, which included refusal to supply a rental car. According to the complaint, which asserts claims for breach of contract and bad faith, she was specifically told "[the carrier] would not be paying for the claims and to get a lawyer." Compl. ¶ 30. Meanwhile, Plaintiff continued to receive billings from the agent and the carrier for coverage of her destroyed car. She continued to pay the premiums, pleading that she did so because she was "unsure of what to do" and "intimidated" by the aggressive conduct of the carrier. Compl. ¶ 34. She thus alleges that the Defendants collected these payments and failed to remove the vehicle from the policy, despite knowing the vehicle had been destroyed. Standard Under the doctrine of fraudulent joinder, a defendant may remove a non-diverse case if it can establish that all in-state defendants were sued solely to prevent removal to federal court. Wilson v. Republic Iron & Steel Co., 257 U.S. 92, 97 (1921). But defendants alleging fraudulent joinder bear a "heavy burden of persuasion," Batoff v. State Farm Ins. Co., 977 F.2d 848, 851 (3d Cir. 1992) — "if there is even a possibility that a state court would find that the complaint 2 states a cause of action," then the case must be remanded. In re Briscoe, 448 F.3d 201, 217 (3d Cir. 2006) (quoting Batoff, 977 F.2d at 851–52). To prevail, the defendant must show that there is "no reasonable basis in fact or colorable ground supporting the claim against the joint defendant, or no real intention in good faith to prosecute the action against the defendant or seek a joint judgment." Brown v. Jevic, 575 F.3d 322, 326 (3d Cir. 2009) (quoting In re Briscoe, 448 F.3d at 217). The removal statute must be construed narrowly, and "all doubts should be resolved in favor of remand." Steel Valley Auth. v. Union Switch & Signal Div., 809 F.2d 1006, 1010 (3d Cir. 1987). My review at this stage is limited: the issue is not whether Plaintiff has stated a claim upon which relief can be granted. A defendant claiming fraudulent joinder has an even heavier burden. Batoff, 977 F.2d at 852. As Judge DuBois elegantly stated the rule, fraudulent joinder is "reserved for situations where recovery from the non-diverse defendant is a clear legal impossibility." Salley v. AMERCO, 2013 WL 3557014 at *3 (E.D. Pa.) (July 15, 2013); see also Lyall v. Airtran Airlines, Inc., 109 F. Supp. 2d 365, 367 (E.D. Pa. 2000) (joinder fraudulent where state claim is "wholly insubstantial or frivolous"). I have jurisdiction only to determine whether I have jurisdiction. I will therefore look no further into the merits of the case than is necessary to make that determination. Analysis To prevail on a negligence claim, plaintiff must prove that (1) defendant owed her a duty, (2) defendant breached that duty, (3) a causal relationship between the breach and her injury, and (4) damages she incurred. Kearns v. Minnesota Mut. Life Ins. Co., 75 F. Supp. 2d 413, 423 (E.D. Pa. 1999) (citing Fennell v. Nationwide Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 412 Pa. Super. 534, 538, 603 A.2d 1064, 1066 (1992)). 3 Defendants argue that Plaintiff fails to identify Durham's breach of duty, and in the alternative, fails to plead facts as to how that breach occurred. Plaintiff responds that, as the insurance agent who services her account, Durham owed a duty to Plaintiff, Compl. ¶ 28, and violated its duty to act in her best interest by continuing to process her car insurance premium payments while knowing the vehicle had been destroyed. Compl. ¶¶ 33–36. Plaintiffs' complaint is not a model of clarity, and Defendants are certainly correct that the principal focus of this ligation will be the conduct of the carrier. Defendants confidently assert that the claim against the agent would not have survived preliminary objections in state court, but chose not to seek a ruling there, one which would have definitively determined whether diversity exists. Having reviewed Pennsylvania law, I find no clear answer, and that ambiguity weighs in favor of remand. On its face, an agent's continued collection of premiums to insure property that no longer exists seems blameworthy, the type of conduct for which a remedy ought to exist. The parties do not cite, nor has this Court independently found, any Pennsylvania law that addresses such a situation. The case upon which Plaintiff relies in support of the broad proposition that an insurance agent may be sued for negligence in servicing a policy, Eads v. Smith, 419 A.2d 129 (Pa. Super. 1980), addressed only the propriety of joining an insurance agent to a pending tort action, without substantive discussion of the duties owed by an agent. 1 Plaintiff does not assert that Durham was a broker she retained to advise her about coverage, and so for present purposes I assume it is an agent and not a broker. Nonetheless, Pennsylvania law regarding the obligations of brokers provides some benchmark, which is that a broker may be sued for breach of the duty of care to an insured, with their actions measured by the traditional standard of 1 I also note that it was subsequently overruled, a fact overlooked by both parties. Stokes v. Loyal Order of Moose Lodge No. 696, 502 Pa. 460, 466 A. 2d 1341 (1983). 4 "reasonable" conduct. See Kearns, supra, 75 F. Supp. 2d at 423 (citing Consolidated Sun Ray, Inc. v. Lea, 401 F.2d 650, 656 (3d Cir. 1968) and Fennell, 412 Pa. Super. at 539, 603 A.2d at 1067. At a minimum, such principles would seem to weigh in favor of the claim Plaintiff advances. The defense argues that insurance regulations might have limited Durham's ability to cancel the policy in the absence of a specific request from the insured, but that goes to the ultimate merits of the claim, and not the threshold question of whether a cause of action exists under Pennsylvania law. In the absence of controlling authority, Defendants argue that I should predict how the Pennsylvania Supreme Court might rule on such a claim, citing Peer v. Minnesota Mut.Fire & Cas. Com, 1993 WL 533283 (E.D. Pa. Dec. 23, 1993). Although a federal judge sitting in diversity has the authority, making a prediction "in the absence of a dispositive holding of the state supreme court often verges on the lawmaking function of that state court." Kennedy v. Allstate Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., 2015 WL 4111816, at *4 (E.D. Pa. July 8, 2015) (citing Dolores K. Sloviter, A Federal Judge Views Diversity Jurisdiction Through the Lens of Federalism, 78 Va. L.Rev. 1671, 1683 (1992)). This is especially the case where the question is one of legal duty, a decision that is "necessarily rooted in public policy considerations, i.e., [their] ideas of history, morals, justice and society in general in determining where [a] loss should fall," Gardner by Gardner v. Consol. Rail Corp., 524 Pa. 445, 453, 573 A.2d 1016, 1020 (1990) (citing Prosser, Palsgraf Revisited, 52 Mich.L.Rev. 1, 14–15 (1953) ("Duty is only a word with which we state our conclusion that there is or is not to be liability.")). Where jurisdiction exists, a federal court must necessarily make such predictions and determine whether a duty exists under state law, applying the governing state law principles. See e.g. Stern Family Real Estate Pship v. Pharmacists Mut. Ins. Co., 2007 WL 951603, at *4 (W.D. 5 Pa. Mar. 27, 2007). But different considerations apply when the threshold issue is jurisdictional, and the controlling standard is whether there is "even a possibility that a state court would find that the complaint states a cause of action," Briscoe, 448 F.3d at 217. Where Pennsylvania law does not expressly prohibit a claim for which there may be a colorable basis, district judges have hesitated to exclude the possibility of a remedy. Kennedy, 2015 WL, at *4 (remanding because the law did not expressly preclude a negligence suit against an insurance adjuster for failing to reasonably investigate the insured's claims) (O'Neill, J.); Gentile v. Travelers Pers. Ins. Co., 2007 WL 576663, at *2 (M.D. Pa. 2007) (remanding because no Pennsylvania case expressly precluded a negligence suit against an insurance adjuster by an insured); Lyall, 109 F. Supp. 2d at 373 (remanding because "we cannot say [plaintiff's] claims are not colorable . . . on the basis of duties established in earlier Pennsylvania cases, and in the absence of any Pennsylvania cases . . . [where] presently-pleaded facts [have been found not to] state a claim.") (Dalzell, J.). Peer does not lead me to a contrary result, because Judge DuBois had far stronger benchmarks from which to navigate Pennsylvania law. There, plaintiff sought punitive damages from insurance adjusters for certain conduct based on a breach of good faith and fair dealing. Peer, 1993 WL at *2. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court had squarely rejected similar claims against insurance carriers, and subsequent decisions from the Superior Court in various factual settings had reinforced the controlling principles of law. Id. at *3-4. The case involved application of Pennsylvania law far more than prediction. Similar authority from the Pennsylvania courts, and thus similar clarity, is lacking here. As noted above, Defendants are correct that the agent's conduct is certainly not the centerpiece of this case. But the question before me is not the size or significance of that portion of Plaintiff's case, but its possible viability, which remains an open question under Pennsylvania 6 law. Even if I assume that Plaintiff has a goal of defeating diversity by naming the agent, that would not change the analysis, because strategic considerations are irrelevant in determining whether a joinder is fraudulent. Chaborek v. Allstate Financial Servcies , LLC, _____ F.Supp. 3d _____, 2017 WL 2423802, at *4 (E.D. Pa. 2017) 2; see also Moorco Int'l, Inc. v. Elsag Bailey Process Automation, N.V., 881 F. Supp. 1000, 1006 (E.D. Pa. 1995) (Brody, J.) ("[T]here is nothing improper about formulating and executing an effective litigation strategy, including selecting the most favorable forum for the client's case."). Conclusion Because the possibility exists that a state court could find that Plaintiff has stated a cause of action for negligence against Dunham, joinder is not fraudulent. Defendants' Motion to Dismiss will be denied, and in the absence of diversity, this case will be remanded. /s/ Gerald Austin McHugh United States District Judge 2 "In a removal proceeding the motive of a plaintiff joining defendants is immaterial, provided there is in good faith a cause of action against those joined." Mecom v. Fitzsimmons Drilling Co. Inc. 284 U.S. 183, 189 (1931); "The fact that the plaintiffs' motive for joining a [non-diverse] defendant is to defeat diversity is not considered indicative of fraudulent joinder." Abel v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 770 F.2d 26, 32 (3d Cir. 1985) (Higginbotham, J.). 7

Matt Harvey drew an ovation from the crowd of 100-150 fans and high-fives from teammates after stepping off the mound Friday.
The New York Mets ace threw 43 pitches to David Wright, Michael Cuddyer, Curtis Granderson and Daniel Murphy in his first time facing hitters since elbow-ligament replacement surgery on Oct. 22, 2013. The batters tracked the pitches but didn't swing.
Harvey, who last pitched in a major league game on Aug. 24, 2013, primarily threw fastballs but mixed in all of his pitches. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud and manager Terry Collins sounded impressed by Harvey's accuracy and command.
Collins estimated that Harvey's last pitch, a two-seam fastball, was about 94-95 mph. It's a little faster than the Mets would like to see a pitcher throwing during the team's second full-squad workout.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Melvin Upton is expected to miss the rest of spring training because of inflammation in his left foot.
The team announced Upton's condition after he underwent an X-ray and MRI exam.
Upton's foot will be placed in a short leg cast for two weeks, then in a walking boot from four to six weeks. The team said he will likely be able to resume baseball activities in early April, about the time the Braves are opening the regular season.
Upton was diagnosed with sesamoiditis, which is inflammation in the bone behind the ball of the foot.
The condition is a further setback to Upton, who is coming off two miserable seasons after signing a five-year, $75 million contract with the Braves.
Stripped of his job at third base, Alex Rodriguez moved across the diamond and worked out at first base for the initial time with the New York Yankees.
Rodriguez fielded grounders and took part in various drills including bunt defense during New York's second full-squad workout.
"I'm anxious to learn, though," he added.
Toronto Blue Jays left fielder Michael Saunders has undergone surgery on his left knee and could return to the team in five to six weeks.
Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said that Saunders might be back sooner than anticipated, possibly in mid-April.
Saunders tore cartilage in his knee Wednesday when he stepped on a sprinkler while shagging fly balls on a side field at spring training. He was originally expected to be out until mid-July.

The plan is to create a pair of executables (ngrok and ngrokd) that are connected with a self-signed SSL cert. Since the client and server executables are paired, you won't be able to use any other ngrok to connect to this ngrokd, and vice versa.
This helps a lot, thanks man!
I've followed your guidance step by step, and write hosts on my client computer to alias my AWS ip, but 'bad certificate' problem still occurs. It's really weird...hmmm, but I'm trying to figure it out. Help me if you have any ideas about this. Thanks a lot.
please tell me what am i doing bad?
Thank you so much. I've created one as ngrok.com is slow in China.
I have question about *.host.com certificate. Why when I issue cert on *.host.com and compile code with same certificate ngrok client can't connect with server?
Why do I need *.host.com? Well to use https. I have been only able to set up tunnel with certificate issued on host.com. When after setting up a tunnel I type http://subdomain.host.com it works fine, but when I go to https://subdomain.host.com It doesn't work - it complains that certificate is not issued on subdomain.host.com but on host.com.
Also why if I create CA with host.com and then create server.crt with *.host.com it also doesn't work?
It might be a good idea to also edit defaultServerAddr in src/ngrok/client/model.go to $NGROK_DOMAIN:4443 (Don't put $NGROK_DOMAIN literally in the file. Put your domain there). Then everything will work for your users without them needing a config file.
Also you can easily cross-compile using GOPATH=$(pwd) gox -tags 'release' ngrok/main/ngrok (to install gox: go get github.com/mitchellh/gox), as long as you've done everything lined out in the gist above, including make release-client.
Just FYI, if you use server on linux and client on OS X, it will be very easy to use golang docker image to make a cross compile.
Then in the bin directory, you can find ngrokd and darwin_amd64/ngrok.
All possible GOOS / GOARCH values are documented here.
I just want to point out a thing for the people that stumble upon this article (very helpful btw, thank you). It is really important that you compile you server and client application with the certificate that your going to use already copied into the assets/client/tls/ folder. Otherwise you'll get the Failed to read message: remote error: bad certificate error.
Hi @danielmorandini , I'm getting the error you mentioned. Don't really understand your suggestion on how to fix it, do you mind to explain more? Thanks!
same problem here. Tried to rebuild client with custom root CA but its not working, still getting errors of invalid certificates..
I've tried everything suggested here. Just can't seem to get it working.. bad certificate error.
I have more general questions. Preface; Once the binaries are compiled using "make release-server release-client", they show up in the "bin" sub directory (along with another file in there called "go-bindata").
When starting the server as described in this forum, does the "device.key" and "device.crt" need to be in the "bin" directory as well (same directory as "ngrokd")?
When starting the client (using the "ngrok-config"), does the "ngrokroot.crt need to be in the same directory as "ngrok"?
Or, am I totally confused?
Make sure to do cp rootCA.pem assets/client/tls/ngrokroot.crt and rootCA.pem is your own certificate.
On the server, just execute docker run -d --restart=always -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 4443:4443 yourname/ngrok:latest.
Make sure you have put the crt in assets/client/tls/ before make release-client. It will be packaged into the binary.
Thanks for response @goofansu. It appears to be working now.
@damtur I just have the same problems !!!!

Common Soil Mineral Degrades the Nearly Indestructible Prion
In the rogues' gallery of microscopic infectious agents, the prion is the toughest hombre in town.
Warped pathogens that lack both DNA and RNA, prions are believed to cause such fatal brain ailments as chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer and moose, mad cow disease in cattle, scrapie in sheep and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. In addition to being perhaps the weirdest infectious agent know to science, the prion is also the most durable. It resists almost every method of destruction from fire and ionizing radiation to chemical disinfectants and autoclaving, which reduce prion infectivity but fail to completely eliminate it.
Now, however, a team of Wisconsin researchers has found that a common soil mineral, an oxidized from of manganese known as birnessite, can penetrate the prion's armor and degrade the protein.
The new finding, which was reported earlier this month (Jan. 2) in the Journal of General Virology, is important because it may yield ways to decontaminate soil and other environments where prions reside.
"Prions are resistant to many of the conventional means of inactivating pathogens," says Joel Pedersen, a UW-Madison environmental chemist and the senior author of the new study. For example, autoclaving, a standard method for sterilization in the laboratory, will reduce the concentration of prions in solution, but fails to eliminate them altogether, as it does for virtually all other types of pathogens.
Because prions infect both wild and domesticated animals, the agent can contaminate barnyards and other areas where infected livestock are kept, as well as persist in natural environments where deer, elk and other animals can become infected by contact with contaminated soil.
Other studies have shown that prions can survive in the soil for at least three years, and that soil is a plausible route of transmission for some animals, Pedersen says. "We know that environmental contamination occurs in deer and sheep at least," he notes.
Prion reservoirs in the soil, Pedersen explains, are likely critical links in the chain of infection because the agent does not appear to depend on vectors — intermediate organisms like mosquitoes or ticks — to spread from animal to animal.
That the birnessite family of minerals possessed the capacity to degrade prions was a surprise, Pedersen says. Manganese oxides like birnessite are commonly used in such things as batteries and are among the most potent oxidants occurring naturally in soils, capable of chemically transforming a substance by adding oxygen atoms and stripping away electrons. The mineral is most abundant in soils that are seasonally waterlogged or poorly drained.
"A variety of manganese oxide minerals exist and one of the most common is birnessite. They are common in the sense that you find them in many soils, but in low concentrations," says Pedersen. "They are among the strongest oxidants in soil."
The new study, which was led by Fabio Russo of the University of Naples and Christopher J. Johnson of UW-Madison, was conducted on prions in solution in the laboratory. The group's working hypothesis, according to Pedersen, is that the mineral oxidizes the prion, a chemical process that can be seen in things like iron oxidizing to form rust or how cut pears and apples turn brown when exposed to oxygen.
The next step, Pedersen says, is to mix the mineral with contaminated soil to see if it has the same effect. If it does, birnessite may become a useful tool for cleaning up contaminated farmyards and other places where the prion may be concentrated in the soil.
"I expect that its efficacy would be somewhat diminished in soil," says Pedersen. "It's something we'll explore."
In addition to Pedersen, Russo and Christopher Johnson, co-authors of the new study include Chad J. Johnson of the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, and Judd Aiken and Debbie McKenzie of the University of Alberta. The work was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Imperial, California - When it comes to your pooch and your bed, the verdict is in. For a good night's sleep, there's no need to let the dog out of the bedroom when you're ready to go to sleep. A recent Mayo Clinic study found sleeping with your dog in the bedroom - but not in your bed - may not disrupt sleep as previously thought.
That's good news for the millions of Americans who have dogs as pets and consider their canine companion a member of their family.
Dr. Lois Krahn, a Mayo Clinic sleep medicine specialist and co-author of the study says, "The relationship between people and their pets has changed over time, which is likely why many people in fact do sleep with their pets in the bedroom."
Dr. Krahn explains the study, "We decided to collect data using a measuring device, applied to both the dogs and people, to see who was right.
And we found that as long as the dogs were not on the bed, their presence in the bedroom did not appear to be a big issue for the sleep of their owner, but on the bed was a different story.
I do think that it's possible to have a dog, to incorporate them into your life, to spend time, including evening and night hours, but you have to be sensible.
You have to sort of pay attention to your own needs, your own sleep, and then think of how you can incorporate the dog. And don't let the dog just do exactly what it wants."


According to a tweet this morning by @RogersBuzz, Future Shop and Best Buy are offering a free $100 gift card to customers that purchase a new iPad and activate it on Rogers.
Both the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad are eligible for the offer, however you will need the iPad 2 WiFi+3G or the new iPad WiFi+Cellular to use the device with Rogers service.
Are LTE iPad Data Plans Enough for the Average User?
How much data have you used on your new iPad? We've seen LTE data plans offered by Rogers, Telus and Bell. Current promotions by Rogers included unlimited data for the first two months, then double for the next four.
Well, well, well, what do we have here? The 'Big 3' networks in Canada have magically unified their Flex Tablet Plan promotions, as all of them now offer the same two months unlimited promo for your LTE iPad.
First, Rogers offered the two months unlimited LTE data plan, and now Bell, Virgin, and Telus have done the exact same.
It appears some new iPad users have experienced difficulties setting up their devices on the Rogers LTE network as popping the SIM into the iPads have resulted in 'No Service' indicators.
iPadinCanada.ca reader Jake explains his new iPad won't recognize the Rogers microSIM it was delivered with, and also directed us to this Apple Support Communities thread where many others are experiencing the same issue.
Citing no specific reason, starting today Rogers has relaunched their flexible data plan for iPad. Originally expiring on February 7, 2011, the plan has been extended until September 11, 2011.
For those of you trying to get Personal HotSpot working with Rogers in Ontario but are receiving a "Contact Rogers to activate HotSpot" message, there is currently a province wide 3G outage which is affecting the ability to activate HotSpot on your iPhone. I've been told to wait until tomorrow to test the Personal HotSpot feature on the iPhone.
Citing no specific reason, today Rogers has extended their flexible data plans for iPad. Originally expiring on January 7, 2011, the promotion has been extended until February 7, 2011.

For years I have been utilising various change frameworks inspired by Kotter; ADKAR; Tadeo, Beake and Fink; Argyris, etc. I have found them extremely valuable and various projects and initiatives have benefited from their utilisation.
While Change Management, almost by definition is complex, some cultures make the application of change management relatively easy while others, relatively more challenging.
It got me thinking to what it is that makes the application of Change management relatively easy. Building on my own work in Change, I have developed six principles for being an Adaptive Organisation. While you may be able to think of other principles, if these principles exist, the organisation will adapt more readily when sound change frameworks are then applied.
If you have responsibility for the capability of your organisation to adapt to ongoing changes, and what Executive doesn't, developing these six principles into the culture of your organisation will support the delivery of that capability. I welcome your comments from your experience.

Q: How to read .Net web service in PHP? I have successfully read WSDL form SoapClient. I tried following to pass value to web method and read results:
 $client = new SoapClient("restaurant.asmx?wsdl");
 $param = array('search_keywords'=>$search_text);
 $result =  $client->__soapCall('getRestaurantsASP',$param);
 print_r($result);

I got this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [soap:Server]

How can I send parameters to web method and retrieve values?

A: As suggested by DaveRandom, problem seems to be in service itself rather problem is in SQL query used for service.
Try using SoapUI (you can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/soapui/files/) and execute the service method from there.
SoapUI is a neutral client to test the webservices.
Hope it will help.

A: I had to add:
<webServices>
<protocols>
  <add name="HttpGet"/>
  <add name="HttpPost"/>
  <add name="HttpSoap"/>
</protocols>
</webServices>

in Web.config file to get things working.

The Long Course is for experienced racers, those wishing to utilize race-specific watercraft, or those just looking for a little extra challenge!
Double the Distance, Double the Fun!
The 9 mile Long Course starts at the Riverbrook RV and Campground off route 25 in Rumney (red line). From the start in the large pool above the old RR bridge, the course runs 4.5 miles downriver to the Plymouth Sands Campground where it joins up with the Short Course (yellow line).
This section of the river has lots of tight corners, a few very small rapids, and a couple of stretches of shallows (especially in low water conditions under 250cfs). The water is consistently quick throughout. There are also several woody snags throughout the course, all easily avoidable by paddlers with average skill. For experienced canoe and kayak racers there are great opportunities for practicing boat handling and race tactics.
The Long Course will use a mass start (or "mass by class" if numbers are large) to provide the best racing experience.
If you are an experienced paddle racer, or you are just looking for a little extra challenge, the Long Course is for you!
Expected times for paddlers of the long course are between 70 and 100 minutes.
This is also the course for paddlers wishing to utilize race-specific watercraft. Flatwater racing boats adhering to current USCA rules, and downriver racing boats adhering to ACA rules are welcome. Recreational craft are also still allowed.
Best Costume: Use your imagination!

Q: How to Http Post with Json Body on Flutter I am trying to get data from API. I need to pass value from the body, in postman without a header: application/JSON data is not displayed.
final response = await http.post(
      "http://192.168.10.25:8080/Login/validateusername",
    body: {"username": "user@PYA"},
      headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
    );

Error Message:
E/flutter (28851): [ERROR:flutter/shell/common/shell.cc(184)] Dart Error: Unhandled exception:
E/flutter (28851): Bad state: Cannot set the body fields of a Request with content-type "application/json".

A: Add the content type  application/json
Future<String> apiRequest(String url, Map jsonMap) async {
  HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
  HttpClientRequest request = await httpClient.postUrl(Uri.parse(url));
  request.headers.set('content-type', 'application/json');
  request.add(utf8.encode(json.encode(jsonMap)));
  HttpClientResponse response = await request.close();
  // todo - you should check the response.statusCode
  String reply = await response.transform(utf8.decoder).join();
  httpClient.close();
  return reply;
}

A: Simply encode body to json object when using content-type "application/json"
http.Response response = await http.post( uri , headers: headers, body: JsonEncoder().convert(body));

A: Another simple way is as bellow
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

String body = json.encode({
    'foo': 'bar',
    'complex_foo' : {
        'name' : 'test'
    }
});

http.Response response = await http.post(
    url: 'https://example.com',
    headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
    body: body,
);

A: use the http dart package
var data = {username:"username",password:"password"};
 http.Response response = await http.post(
        "yourApiroute",
        headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
        body: {"username": data.phone, "password": data.password});

A: var json = jsonCodec.encode(data);
    print("json=$json");
    var url = "http:yourAPIrouter.com/etc";
    var response = await http.post(
      url,
      headers:{ "Accept": "application/json" } ,
      body: { "json": '$json'},
      encoding: Encoding.getByName("utf-8")
    );

and dont forget add the key "json" in postman

A: I am doing almost the same. However, I tried to avoid doing back-end, like in your case. I just did a minimal php request so that I would not waste or patience learning what is needed to develop a user management controller.
However, I faced several limitations and problems that Flutter alone can't solve. After some denial, I gave a try. Lumen, a light version of the Laravel Framework, some tutorials and some past experience, I eventually realized that the API should carry most of the authentication, and not the application itself. I digressed.
In my case, the code of the fuction to a http post is:
Future<Post> createPost() async {
final url = "http://localhost:8000/api/login";
Map<String, String> body = {
  'user': user.text,
  'pass': pass.text,
};
await http.post(url, body: body);
print(body);

return http.;

}
I first convert it into a map. I prefer this method over parsing json, because down the line, if I need to add more variables, I just make the map bigger.
I just have a question: What does your http://192.168.10.25:8080/Login/validateusername look like? I think that there is no need to specify the type of information that your body parses.

Topic: European Tours
Deborah Huso • July 20, 2018 • Add Comment
Park Guell in Barcelona, Spain, is one of the great works of architect Antoni Gaudi.
I've always longed to live in the Mediterranean metropolis of Barcelona. One of Europe's most stylish cities, it's an architecture lover's paradise where Gothic spires share space with the otherworldly designs of Antoni Gaudi.
And it is Gaudi – and the food – that brings me here. Fascinated by architecture and well-versed in the world's cities where it reigns supreme (like Stockholm, St. Petersburg, and Tallinn, Estonia), I cannot help but be drawn to the capital of Spain's Catalonia region and its beautiful ironwork balconies, colorful facades and Gothic towers.
But ultimately, I come to see Gaudi, the Modernist architect whose Sagrada Familia remains under construction in Barcelona nearly a century after his death. Designed with God's creation in mind, the cathedral's towering columns emulate trees, with leafy bowers skimming the ceiling and bolstering the nave.
Finding Gaudi
The ceiling over the main aisle of the Sagrada Familia church, designed by architect Antoni Gaudi.
Gaudi is so revered here that some have lobbied for his beatification. And it's no wonder: The Sagrada Familia's cloud-reaching spires can be seen from all over the city, and touring its interior is an exercise in looking up for hours. "God's Architect," as he was sometimes known, designed seven structures that have been named UNESCO World Heritage sites, many of them in Barcelona.
Be sure to take a ramble along Passeig de Gracia. The boulevard is lined with extravagant mansions, including Gaudi's Casa Calvet and the aptly named House of Spikes, Casa de les Punxes. You'll find it in L'Eixample, a 19th-century neighborhood built as an extension to the old city.
Gaudi's most significant patron was industrial tycoon Eusebi Guell, for whom he designed Palau Guell. The mansion features a signature parabolic entrance gate and central hallway with tiny windows in the ceiling that resemble a starlit sky.
Another Gaudi creation – the curved apartment building christened La Pedrera ("open quarry") – is famous in large part because of its ruled surface design, which results in a structure with no apparent straight lines. The highlight of the building is the rooftop with its undulating surface and 26 chimneys that resemble nothing if not, perhaps, the surface of Mars.
Finally there is Gaudi's Park Guell, which, like Sagrada Familia, has become synonymous with Barcelona. Storybook-like and whimsical, the park features entrance pavilions with ice cream-emulating rooftops, a tiled-bedecked dragon, and a famous undulating mosaic-covered bench designed by Josep Jujol.
A Foodie's Delight
Pa amb tomaquet is a traditional dish in Barcelona.
Barcelona's food culture mirrors the diversity and playfulness of its architecture. Here you'll find restaurants and tapas bars clustered around intimate squares and along cobblestone streets, where even the tiniest cafes serve up palate-pleasing delights.
Be sure to eat like a native and order pa amb tomaquet, which is essentially bread rubbed with tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. And don't forget the wine. Lunch or dinner, it's a staple of the meal.
Continue your Gaudi-themed exploration of Barcelona by dining at Casa Calvet on Carrer de Casp. Gaudi designed the building, which features Modernista stained glass. It's also a perfect spot for trying traditional Catalan dishes like albondigas con sepia y gambas –meatballs with squid and prawns.
Be mindful of traditional siesta time. Most shops open mid-morning, then close in the early afternoon for lunch, reopening at 4 or 5 p.m. And Spaniards dine late. In fact, many restaurants don't open for dinner until 8 p.m.
Beauty Reborn
While you can certainly spend the night in one of Barcelona's many luxurious hotels, consider a lodging experience that allows you to live like a native, perhaps in El Born, which borders both the Gothic Quarter and Port Vell. Here you can rent a walk-up with your own private balcony overlooking the narrow streets below, and sample small plates and Catalan wines within the quarter's many tapas bars come nighttime. Santa Maria del Mar, a fine example of Catalan Gothic architecture that regularly hosts concerts, is also located in the trendy neighborhood. Try the tiny tapas bar across the street – La Vinya del Senyor.
Barcelona's best-loved park, Parc de la Ciutadella, is located on the eastern edge of El Born. Its treasures include a wild fountain, designed by Gaudi and Josep Fontsere, as well as a beautiful boating lake and the city's zoo. A stroll through this fanciful landscape is a perfect way to close the day in Barcelona, the city to which Gaudi sought to bring so much of the forms and symmetry of nature via the medium of design. As an elderly man, the architect wrote, "I captured the purest and most pleasant images of nature, that nature that is ever our Mistress."

Zvonimir Krnetić (Beograd, 1930 — Beograd, 2016) bio je srpski operski pevač, tenorskog repertoara.

Školovanje
Rođen je 6. novembra 1930. godine u Beogradu. Posle završene Srednje muzičke škole "Mokranjac", u klasi Radmile Tirnanić, diplomirao je na odseku solo pevanja na Muzičkoj akademiji u Beogradu 1960. godine, u klasi profesora Jelke Stamatović. Zatim dobija stipendiju sekretarijata za kulturu i provodi godinu dana na Konzervatorijumu "-{Benedetto Marcello}-", u Veneciji, u klasi profesora Paola Bononija. Po povratku u Beograd završava poslediplomske studije, takođe na Muzičkoj akademiji u Beogradu, u klasi profesora Zdenke Zikove.

Operska i koncertna aktivnost
Još u toku studija, 1958. godine, počinje sa koncertnom delatnošcu, koja će kasnije izrasti do aktivnog opredeljenja, uz dugogodišnju saradnju sa pijanistom Zdenkom Marasovićem i primljen je za člana Beogradske opere, na čijoj sceni je pevao sa velikim uspehom. Dovoljno je nabrojati dela u kojima je Krnetić nastupao, pa da se odmah shvati i vidi njegov značaj u životu Beogradske opere. Travijata, Seviljski berberin, Lučija di Lamermur, Madam Baterflaj, Prodana nevesta, Evgenije Onjegin, Faust, Hofmanove priče, Julije Cezar, Boemi, Rigoleto, Don Karlos, Mazepa, Hovanščina, Knez Igor, Soročinski sjam, Ivan Grozni, Koštana, Na uranku, Boris Godunov, Favorita, Trubadur, Ero sa onoga svijeta, Aida, Edipus Reks, Verter, Bal pod maskama, Ernani, Đurađ Branković, Norma, Atila, Nabuko, Loengrin, Kavalerija rustikana, Pajaci, Andre Šenije, Jenufa, Toska, Mlada, Karmen....

Bio je član Beogradske Opere od 1958. do 1978. godine. Debitovao je kao Alfredo (Travijata), a poslednja uloga (premijera) je bila 1992. godine Don Carlo (Don Carlos). Od 1971/2 do 2002 godine je radio na FMU u Beogradu.

Na svojim koncertima, Krnetić je izvodio veoma širok repertoar, počev od dela starih majstora, preko Mocarta, Šuberta, Šumana, Bramsa, Štrausa, do Debisija i Britna. Poseban stav, Krnetić ima prema domaćem stvaralaštvu, gde je njegovo iskreno i dugogodišnje zalaganje za pesme Konjovića, Milojevića, Hristića, Trbojevića, Radića, Peričića, Babića i dr. Čitav niz solističkih koncerata su ga potvrdili i kao vrhunskog interpreta lida i domaćih autora. Veliki deo tog repertoara Krnetić je snimio za radio i televiziju.

Nastupao je u svim operskim kućama bivše Jugoslavije, pevajući uspešno uloge tenorskog repertoara. Bio je čest gost Majskih svečanosti u Skoplju i SVEM-a u Sarajevu. U Beogradu je snimio televizijsku adaptaciju opere "Pajaci", zatim operu "Robinja" i "Koštana", "Karađorđe" i "Seljaci". U Zagrebu je snimio sa radio orkestrom RTZ, kao stalne snimke, kompletne opere "Postolar od Delfta", "Ero s onoga svijeta" i "Adelova pjesma" sa koncertnim izvodenjem. Za zagrebacku televiziju, snimio je celu operetu "Mala florami". Sa ekipom jugoslovenskih solista snimio je operu "Mlada" - R. Korsakov u Parizu za francuski radio.

Ostvario je čitavu galeriju likova iz klasičnog i novijeg operskog repertoara gde je stekao priznanja kritike i veliku naklonost publike. Kao nezamenljivi tenor gostovao je sa Beogradskom operom širom Evrope, u Nemačkoj, Italiji, Švajcarskoj, Francuskoj, Španiji, Grčkoj, Austriji, UAR, Engleskoj, Poljskoj, Bugarskoj i Čehoslovačkoj, u ulogama sledećih opera: Knez Igor, Evgenije Onjegin, Prodana nevesta, Faust, Ernani, Boris Godunov, Hovanščina i mnoge druge. Samostalno je gostovao na operskim scenama sledecih gradova: Nica, Pariz, Atina (Rigoleto, Evgenije Onjegin), Barselona, Madrid, Moskva (Travijata u Boljšom teatru), Prag - više puta, Solun, Grac, Luksemburg, Teheran, Bratislava, Bukurešt - nekoliko puta, Sofija, Odesa, Talin, Kijev, Vilnius i Alma Ata. Pevao je sa Bonaldom Đaiotijem, Nikolajem Đaurovim, Titom Gobijem, Anom Mofo i drugima.

Na svim ovim gostovanjima, kritika je uvek veoma pozitivno ocenjivala nastupe u ulogama koje je pevao. Snimio je tri ploče sa operskim arijama, solo pesmama i napolitanskim kanconama.

Ne treba izgubiti iz vida ni Krnetićeve visoke domete u tumačenju oratorijumske literature (Verdi - "Rekvijem", "Mesija", Bahov "Magnifikat", Mocartov "Rekvijem", Rosinijev "Stabat mater", kao i Dvoržakov, zatim "Deveta simfonija", "Godišnja doba" J. Hajdna i dr.

Pedagoška delatnost
Posle dvadesetogodišnjeg iskustva na operskoj sceni i koncertnom podijumu, Krnetić, iako relativno mlad, počinje da se bavi pedagogijom. Rezultati pedagoškog rada se nesumnjivo iskazuju preko njegovih studenata koji su delovali i danas deluju u našem muzičkom životu.

I pored velike zauzetosti, kao pevač i pedagog, Krnetić je bio aktivan i u ostalim aktivnostima kao što su komisija za prijem novih članova UMUS-a, dugi niz godina šef katedre za solo pevanje, član kadrovske komisije, stručnih veća i komisije za naučno-umetnički rad FMU.

Nagrade i priznanja
Dobitnik je mnogih nagrada:
 3. nagrada na takmičenju mladih muzičkih umetnika u Beogradu,
 nagrada Narodnog Pozorišta za uspešno ostvarene uloge u operama "Ernani" i "Toska",
 srebrnjak Narodnog Pozorišta (2012) za celokupan rad u svojoj matičnoj kući,
 nagrada Udruženja Muzičkih Umetnika Srbije (1980) godine za ulogu "Andre Šenije",
 predlagan je više puta za Oktobarsku nagradu grada Beograda,
 plaketa Univerziteta Umetnosti u Beogradu
 priznanje "Zlatni beocug" (2010), koje dodeljuje Kulturno prosvetna zajednica Beograda za trajni doprinos kulturi,
 nosilac je Ordena rada sa zlatnim vencem.
Preminuo je 18. februara 2016. godine u Beogradu.

'Murder Mystery' tops Netflix 2019 shows, 'The Crown' out of top 10
By Saqib Iqbal Ahmed
Reuters December 30, 2019
Premiere for the film "Murder Mystery" in Los Angeles
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Netflix Inc's original film "Murder Mystery," starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, topped a list of the streaming service's most popular releases of 2019 in the United States but its award-winning "The Crown" failed to make the top 10.
Netflix said on Monday that science fiction series "Stranger Things" came in second, followed by the Michael Bay action movie "6 Underground." The animated movie "Incredibles 2" and Martin Scorsese's gangster film "The Irishman" took the fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
The ranking was based on the number of households watching at least two minutes of a series, movie or special during its first 28 days on Netflix in 2019, the streaming service said.
British royal series "The Crown," whose first two seasons cost a reported $130 million to make, did not appear in the top 10 list for either the U.S. or the UK or Canada despite having won major awards, including for its leading actors. Season 3 was released in November and Netflix did not supply any viewing data.
Netflix, which boasts more than 158 million subscribers around the world, only selectively releases viewership figures for programming it considers a hit, and the numbers are not verified by a third party.
Executives at Netflix have said they plan to be more transparent with audience data to satisfy Hollywood producers and stars and to help viewers decide what to watch.
The limited details on what grabbed Netflix viewers' attention this year came ahead of the company's Jan. 21 quarterly earnings report, which will disclose revenue and membership by region for the first time.
The streaming heavyweight is facing new competition, particularly from Walt Disney Co, which has been removing its movies from Netflix and putting them on the Disney+ streaming service.
Netflix shares have risen 23% this year, the smallest annual rise in three years. The S&P 500 Index is up 29% for the year.
