← Do you follow the LEADER?
In answer to her parents sincere and at times desperate prayers, God has blessed her with a hunger and thirst for Him, that turns her on to the narrow road time and again. At times this desire has exposed her to the mocking world around her and she has had to endure some difficulty, yet the Lord has trained her by it. Her mother and I have been so blessed to see her grow up physically and spiritually. Yet on this special day, I am reminded that we were not the only ones who are seeing growth or failure. Let me explain.
Around the time Sammie would have been turning two, we moved her into her big girl bed. I can still see the room as I placed her under the covers. The room's overhead light was lighting the room enough, to make the pastel yellow walls with pastel pink and blue feather dusting highlights, glow like clouds at sunset. Her sheets matched her baby "Loonie Tunes" border. On the particular night I am remembering , I was once again beside myself with depression. Many know that coming into the faith, did not diminish the intensity of bouts of depression and anxiety I went through. Though they were less frequent (Christ has since healed me), praise Jesus, they seemed to come with a greater ferocity when they would come. This can surely be attributed to the enemy coming to steal and kill and destroy my joy and faith. Into this depressive state, from being rejected for my faith with co-workers and family, stepped a tiny life preserver named Samantha.
I don't know if I was expecting her to say "I see a loser" or "Your a pathetic bum" or "I can't believe your such a failure", which would have been quite an accomplishment for a two year old, and akin to how I felt. Instead she gave a one word answer that made me weep and would serve as kick in the pants (over the years) more times than I care to admit. In response to my question "When you see Daddy, what do you see?" she said simply "JESUS".
Hearing any of my children say JESUS name, has always been a wonderful blessing, but this one time in particular would imprint on my soul. In hours following her announcement I was hit with a few realities.
Failure in living the Christian life, does not mean we are failures. So long as we confess our sin, He not only forgives and cleanses, but loves us. In fact, even before we confess, He loves us.
Our identity is not directed by feelings, perfect Christian living, or the characterizations of those around us. Our identity is in the perfection of Christ, as we are children of God, through His blood. Our identity is in the One who abides with and lives within us.
Who we are in Christ can be seen, in how we consistently live and grow to be more like Jesus.
REMEMBER… Someone is ALWAYS watching you.
Interestingly, Samantha's declaration continues to pound and uplift me. Over the years, her one word answer in that two year old cutesy voice, has hit me over the head like a hammer, when I want to be carnal (unfaithful, selfish, proud, bitter, unduly angry or pick your poison). Her reply has also at times served as a healing balm and uplifting encouragement, when God brings it to my remembrance. Thinking on her response brings squarely into view the a dispositional truth often neglected by many followers of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 3:2-3 (NKJV) You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
Letters are meant to be read. My desire is at the end of my life, my family, and those I have ministered too and had fellowship with will say, "Mike's letter shouted JESUS!" My desire is that of my neighbors and friends and yes even my enemies (whether said in mockery or disgust) will declare my letter shouted Jesus. If that is the case, I trust Jesus words to me will be "Well done, My good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord". Those words will be the sweetest ever spoken to me.
May those be what guide your life. May Christ so fill your heart, that those you meet see Jesus in you. And thank the Lord for Samantha. When I see you , my dear daughter, I see… JESUS!!!

The authors examined the relationship between heat index and the need for medical care during events at a Division I college football stadium located in the southeastern United States. They concluded that for every 10-degree increase in the heat index, three more patients per 10,000 patrons will require care.

This is a great choice to mount almost any strobe or video light to an Ikelite quick release handle. The single segment arm is compact and lightweight, especially good for macro work. Additional extensions and clamps can be added (sold separately).
Our 1" ball components feature a groove and o-ring to prevent slippage for improved holding power with less force. While underwater, clamps may be finger-tightened to keep lighting in place yet allow repositioning without loosening the clamp. All parts are hard coat type III anodized for a long lasting, scratch resistant finish. Ikelite 1" ball components are compatible with most 1-inch arm system components from Aquatica TLC, Ultralight, Sea&Sea, INON, Nauticam, and others.
The slotted arm sections provide opportunities to mount an additional lightweight accessory almost anywhere along the length of an arm by adding a Sliding Ball Mount.
The auxiliary clamps at the bottom of the arm provide an additional mounting location for a focus light or to attach a top handle if using two arms.

Schools in Ukraine have begun to include students with special needs and are looking for methods that have proved effective. Pat Cleveland's years with Cincinnati Public Schools serving students with disabilities provided her with information and experience that will be helpful. The CKSCP Delegation left Kharkiv with the beginning of a plan to follow up with additional professional development opportunities for the Kharkiv teachers.

A First Look At The Toronto Zoo's Drive-Thru Before It Opens This Weekend (PHOTOS)
Tickets are already on sale!
Madeline Forsyth
Toronto Senior Staff Writer
Madeline Forsyth | Narcity Madeline Forsyth | Narcity
Put on your sunhats and favourite safari shirt, because the Toronto Zoo's latest experience will take you on an exotic animal adventure. Launching May 23, the Scenic Safari allows you to drive your car along select pathways so you can visit your favourite creatures of the wild. Here's a first look at what you can expect to see at the Toronto Zoo's Drive-Thru experience.
Earlier this week, the Zoo announced it would be reopening for motorized visits after more than two months shut.
The Scenic Safari is a brand new way to experience the popular attraction while staying safely distanced in your car.
The 3.4-kilometre route takes you past rhinos, zebras, red pandas, cheetahs, and more. You even get to drive through the lion cave.
You can download an audio tour from the Zoo's podcast to listen to on your adventure. The recording explains a bit about the animals and areas you're driving through.
There's a great perk, too.
You also get to see an area you wouldn't normally be able to enter during a regular visit.
The spot, which is typically exclusive to Zoomobile riders, is home to old-world monkeys, wild horses, Africa's tallest flying bird, and more.
[rebelmouse-image 25982246 photo_credit="Madeline Forsyth | Narcity" expand=1 original_size="5184x3456"]
While many animals, such as the zebras and flamingos, are easy to spot, you may need some luck to see others. They're not always in plain view, and due to the restrictions of your car, you may not be at the right angle to see them.
Even if you don't catch a glimpse of all the Zoo's residents, have no fear, you'll still get your fill of cuteness as you travel between enclosures.
As much of the Safari route is in direct sunlight on bright days, it's a good idea to pack some water for your adventure to keep cool.
If you're already dreaming about this safari adventure, you may want to purchase your ticket ASAP.
The tickets officially went on sale today, and it seems everyone is desperate to go. The website received so much traffic that the portal crashed at one point.
Admission for cars with two people or less costs $44, and cars with three or more occupants cost $59. Prices are lower for Zoo members.
The Zoo requires that only members of the same household share a vehicle.
So grab your home buddies and experience the Zoo like never before with the new Scenic Safari!
Scenic Safari
Price: $32+ for members or $44+ for non-members
When: Opening Saturday, May 23
Address: 2000 Meadowvale Rd., Toronto, ON
Why You Need To Go: Take a safari adventure right in Toronto with the Zoo's new drive-thru experience.

The heat does not come on when I change the temperture controll to warm. It is vacume and I do not hear any noise when I turn the controll. However I cannot find anywhere either in my owner manual, repair manual nor so far on the internet at to where this actuator is, or how to change it.
I do agree I have a 2000 olds alero. I have used the cheap copper plugs to save some money but only get 30,000 miles before starting to have misfire codes, and having to replace the plugs.
The Oldsmobile Aurora is a mid size luxury sports sedan made by Oldsmobile from 1994 to 2003. The Aurora rides on the same Cadillac derived G platform as the two door Buick Riviera.. The Aurora became the high end sport sedan offered by Oldsmobile, powered by a four cam, 32 valve 4.0 L V8 supplanting the Oldsmobile Toronado coupe and eventually the Oldsmobile 98, in the lineup.


Growing Pains aren't called "Growing Pains" for no reason. No matter what area you are in, in your life, you have to go thru growing pains to get there. It's not comfortable. Sometimes, you feel like your heart is being ripped out.
Life is not easy. Ours eyes are blinded from the time that we are babes. Whether it's through happy, go lucky TV shows, cartoons, etc, society and media plant a picture of perfectness. If we are not careful, we easily get sucked into believing a lie about life.
Girls strive for a perfect body. It's not real. The average size of the American woman, is a size 14. (Though I haven't worn it in years, ugh!) But some go through the pain and awkwardness of having to try to please others, when God just wants them to grow in Him. There are not many perfect size 2-6. And even those girls/women have conflicts within themselves.
Boys want to be "buff" and "macho" and do not realize how ridiculous they look when trying to impress someone. They will learn eventually, maybe, after being rejected, made fun of for no reason. This hurts. God is always there though, to heal the wounds.
As we strive to achieve the place that God wants us to be in, in life, it hurts getting from one place to the next. There are so many trials and temptations, hurts and pains, etc, that we go thru to try and please God. To be in His will and not in His way. He never said that it would be easy, He said that we would not have to go it alone.
So as the aches and pains of spiritual growth, physical growth, mental growth, hit you, let God be the ice pack or the heating pad. His comfort brings relief.
This calling is a rather obvious one… but I would like to still touch on the topic of friendship.
What does it mean to be a true friend? Is it just a social thing? Obviously, it is not. If it were, we would not become so emotional when a friend is lost. Does it mean to be dependable? How about caring? Being a good listener? Offering advice when requested? Understanding and compassionate? I think all of those things and so much more are what make a good friend.
How many times have you been having a bad day, but a good friend called and you instantly cheered right up? I know for me, personally, I have just a few friends that I can vent to. Isn't it nice to have someone who you can rant to and know that they won't think differently of you for it? How about knowing you have someone praying for you when you need it? Or a friend who will be honest when your hair color washes you out and you're jeans make you look great? And of course, it's great to know you can turn to someone, pour your heart out, and know that anything you tell them won't be passed on to someone else.
We should always strive to be a good friend, not a mediocre one. We can't be perfect, but we should try to not be flaky, negative, or distant. Reliable, uplifting, close, and available as much as possible.
What are some ways you can minister to a friend though?
Pray: Offer to pray for/with your friend whether it is something small or large. The need for prayer is always there.
Offer Help: Sure, you have your own family to tend to… And yes, they should come first. But when you can, help out your friend(s). Maybe they're sick and need a little help with the kids/house/meals. When a friend has a baby, offer to bring over a meal and hold the baby while they shower or nap.
Listen: Sometimes we just need someone to hear us out. Don't give your opinion or feel as though you need to solve the problem. Just listen.
Accept Advice: You know, sometimes I don't know everything. When someone offers advice, I try not to act like a know-it-all or tell them why I think their idea wouldn't work. I simply say, whether I like the advice or not, "I'll keep that in mind!" Sometimes a friend just needs to feel as though they are helping, and by being rude all you are doing is causing confusion. You never know, you may remember what they said for yourself or someone else down the road and be glad you listened.
Avoid Being Critical: Depending on the friendship, you may be able to give a close friend constructive criticism. Like I said, and let me highlight: Depending on the friendship! Don't be mean, negative, or downright inconsiderate. Remember the persons feelings. How would you feel if they did that to you?
Apologize: We all make mistakes. Sometimes we do things without realizing it. If you think you may have done something, intentional or not, to offend someone then please tell them you are sorry.
Be There: Do what you say you are going to do when you say you are going to do it. This is a big "ouch" for me, as I'm always having to cancel things for various reasons. I used to never do that! Something to work on!
Be A Witness: Invite your friends to join you in church or begin a devotional/Bible study.
Make Time: When possible, meet with your friend and spend some quality time together.
Don't Be Sensitive: No one is perfect. Not even your friends. Cut them some slack.
Avoid Jealousy: You are not your friend's only friend. They have other relationships with other people. Don't be "That Friend" that feels they have to be a part of every. single. thing… Be an individual!!!
Remember, you can't choose your family… You CAN choose your friends… CHOOSE WISELY!!! Never let anyone walk all over you in the name of "friendship." Show God's love, yes. Be a door mat, no.
And now, in honor of Karen and her love for nostalgic television, I leave you with this… Get the cheesecake!
What kind of mother am I?!?
I love my children dearly, and they will ALWAYS come before my needs. That is a sacrifice that I am more than willing to make. My desire is to teach them to be self sufficient. To know how to run a household, cook a meal, do for others. I give my children chores. They have to help take out the trash, fold clothes, wash clothes, vacuum, etc. We are teaching them to cook. I am helping them to hide the WORD in their hearts, so that they can pull from it when needed. It's so funny to hear my 5 year old say the Lord's Prayer and mess up on some of the words.
True mothering is becoming a lost art. Don't get me wrong, there are A LOT of GREAT mothers out there, but some just do not care how their children turn out. They don't care about what they are putting into their kids. It drives me crazy to see people teaching their children to expect something from others. Like they are entitled to something from everyone.
Over this past weekend, our church took part in a local festival. It made me feel great because I got so many compliments on how much my kids worked and helped out. One lady said, "You're raising some awesome and responsible men here." Of course, I didn't get too proud.
My kids love to help. They are willing to help others and that blesses my heart. In Psalms, it says to "consider the poor" and I definitely don't have to worry about my kids not wanting to help somebody else. I'm not bragging on our parental skills, just trying to set an example for other parents.
So, what kind of mother are you? Are you raising up a child in the way they should go, or are you raising bullies? Brats? Kids that think they are better than everyone else? Only you and God know the true contents of your parental skills. I encourage you to take a look at yourself and see what needs improvement and what is just right.
If you're old enough, you may remember this commercial from the 90's, where the kid from Last Action Hero and Heartland (I think that was the name of it…) goes into Circuit City because he bought a Walkman one week and it was advertised at a better price the next.
When it comes to our relationship with the Lord, we never have to worry about this. See, our souls are purchased with blood. There are no "sales", "bids", "rebates", "coupons", "economy versions", or "upgrades". The price of our soul does not change. What we were then, that is what we are today, and that is what we'll be in the future: It is the same. Our value does not deteriorate like may things do in this day and age. We are still the most valuable to God!
Sometimes, when you are like me and have a past, it is easy to think, "Well, yeah, I can do good. But not near as good as Sis. So-and-so, they've never done anything wrong so obviously they are closer to God." THIS IS NOT TRUE! Remember how the Bible says that the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy? This is a PERFECT example. Don't let him win!
You are valuable to God. Irreplaceable, as a matter of fact. You can do just as much for him now as any one else. Pray about it and seek God about what he wants you to do and then do it. You have a testimony and there are people out there who need your encouragement. Whether it's going on the mission field, helping out at your church, or leading you children just follow the call of Jesus. You'll be so glad you did!

Q: Can't use DateTime in IronPython I'm hosting my IronPython in a C# webapp like so:
var engine = Python.CreateEngine();
var scope = engine.CreateScope();
var script = Engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(pythonCode, SourceCodeKind.Statements);
script.Execute(scope);

And my python code looks like this:
import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Core')

from System import DateTime
theDate = DateTime.Today()

Which generates this error:
IronPython.Runtime.Exceptions.ImportException: Cannot import name DateTime

I've spent some time on Google and most of the code I found doesn't seem to work anymore.
My IronPython Runtime Version is v2.0.50727 - should I be upgrading? I'd have thought DateTime would've been in from early doors though?

A: Just checked, and the problem is that you're trying to call Today as a method instead of a property. Try this instead (no need to add a reference to System.Core):
import clr
from System import DateTime
theDate = DateTime.Today
print theDate

A: Try adding a reference to mscorlib instead of System.Core.  We changed the default hosting behavior at some point (2.0.1? 2.0.2?) so that this is done by default when hosting.  You can do this from your hosting code with:
engine.Runtime.LoadAssembly(typeof(string).Assembly);

This weekend Torque Sports athletes were in full effect!
This weekend Torque Sports athletes were in full effect! Lance Palmer went to work in in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada defending his belt in the World Series of Fighting on Friday evening. Saturday afternoon Anthony Napolitan put on an epic showing at X Games Austin 2015!
Lance Palmer became the first fighter in history to successfully defend his belt in the World Series of Fighting. The featherweight champion from Team Alpha Male took Chris Horodecki down twice and controlled much of the action. The fight was scheduled for 5 rounds but the faster stronger Palmer only needed one to get the tap. Palmer submitted Horodecki at 4:28 of the first round with a rear-naked choke. Palmer landed good left hand punches forcing Horodecki to fight moving backwards.
Horodecki was able to slip out the first time Palmer restrained him in a neck crank, but he was not able to do it a second time around. Palmer had him on the ground locked into a choke forcing him to tap. The 27-year-old Palmer has 3 consecutive wins, all via rear-naked choke, and may be one of the organization's biggest names.
Anthony Napolitan put it down with style at the X Games in the Texas heat Saturday in Austin, TX. High winds gave many of the riders a sketchy run, and many riders waiting at the start for a break in gusts before the run. Anthony started out with a strong first run putting him in the top three early. Judges take the best score from three runs giving athletes a chance to land a safe run then get crazy. Anthony stepped it up in his second and third runs. Kyle Baldock early on looked like the man to beat. On Napo's last run many fans thought it was his best of the day and enough to jump back into the bronze spot, but he ended just a few points shy of the bronze taking a very impressive 4th. Napolitan was excited to come back after not riding the dirt portion of the X-Games since 2006 where he earned a bronze medal. He will certainly be back soon to the X Games in the quest of receiving a well-deserved first place medal.


How is your book covered?
That's the question I often get when I tell people I listen to audiobooks. Either that or not-so-subtle glances where people want to ask why I listen to audiobooks but don't quite dare.

FCS Schedules That Draw a Double-Take
Craig Haley / Author
There are 128 FCS fan bases that surely are energized by their favorite team's schedule this fall.
With all teams back on the playing fields for the first time in nearly two years and experienced lineups abounding, the upcoming season is particularly anticipated.
Still, when you look up and down all the schedules, a small handful draw a double-take.
Here are five:
DIXIE STATE
Sept. 4, Sacramento State
Sept. 11, Weber State
Sept. 18, at UC Davis
Oct. 2, at South Dakota State
Oct. 9, at Montana
Oct. 16, Tarleton
Oct. 23, Stephen F. Austin
Oct. 30, at Delaware
Nov. 6, at Sam Houston
Nov. 13, Fort Lewis
Nov. 20, Missouri State
This is the schedule that makes you gulp. In their second Division I campaign, the Trailblazers face opponents who in their most recent season had a combined .714 winning percentage (60-24) – the highest of any FCS schedule. Seven of the opponents qualified for the playoffs in their most recent full season, including FCS spring national champion Sam Houston, runner-up South Dakota State and semifinalist Delaware. The first five weeks are Big Sky-heavy with 2019 co-champs Weber State and Sacramento State visiting St. George, Utah, and trips to UC Davis and Montana's mecca Washington-Grizzly Stadium.
NORTHERN IOWA
Sept. 4, at Iowa State
Sept. 11, at Sacramento State
Sept. 18, St. Thomas
Oct. 2, Youngstown State
Oct. 9, at North Dakota State
Oct. 16, South Dakota
Oct. 23, at South Dakota State
Oct. 30, Southern Illinois
Nov. 6, at Illinois State

What's next, a trip into Death Valley at Clemson or LSU? Maybe Alabama? The Panthers surely have the toughest road schedule in the FCS, starting at Iowa State and followed by Sacramento State in the premier matchup of the Big Sky-MVFC Showdown. In conference play, oh it's as easy as eight-time FCS champ North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Illinois State and surprising spring co-champ and playoff qualifier Missouri State.

Having Sac State follow Northern Iowa on this list may appear puzzling, but it's the Hornets' Big Sky schedule, not nonconference, that creates the double-take. Having not played since 2019 due to the pandemic, they catch a break in the unbalanced schedule of the FCS' largest conference, missing Big Sky powers Eastern Washington, Montana State and Weber State. If you go back to the Hornets' co-championship season two years ago, seven of their eight conference opponents finished below .500 both overall and in conference (Montana is the exception). Their opponents' combined .339 winning percentage (19-37) in their most recent season is the lowest in the FCS.

LIU isn't necessarily acting like a program that's only 14 games into its Division I era. Before the Sharks settle into the more comfortable Northeast Conference schedule, they'll take a bite out of three straight FBS games – the most in the FCS. Their opener at FIU marks the program's first matchup against the upper tier. Add in West Virginia and Miami of Ohio, and the three games combine for just over $1 million in guarantees.

The difficulty of the FCS spring national champion's schedule is middle-of-the-road. What stands it out is the Bearkats being the lone national power (with a few other programs and, of course, the Ivy League) that intended to schedule only 10 regular-season games – one below the fall maximum – due to having two seasons in the same calendar year. Also, like the spring season, a perfect 10-0 is possible, with coach K.C. Keeler's team having two weeks of preparation for its two most dangerous games – both in the one-year WAC-ASUN Challenge at Central Arkansas and versus Jacksonville State.

Peloton facing lawsuit alleging failure to license music
On behalf of David M. Duree and Associates, P.C. posted in Intellectual Property Litigation on Sunday, March 31, 2019.
Peloton has become a premier name in home fitness in the seven years since it was founded. Its appeal isn't just its machines, like its stationary bikes, which sell for about $2,000. It's the classes you can watch on the machines as you work out for a $39 monthly membership fee.

Murder Conviction Reversed After Police Officers Resuse to Testify About Torture
By David Duree of David M. Duree and Associates, P.C. on Sunday, March 31, 2019.
The Illinois Appellate Court reversed the Circuit Court a second time, and transferred the case to a new trial judge, after two Chicago police officers refused to testify on whether the Defendant was tortured before his admission that he was present when two murders were committed in 1989. The Defendant was convicted and sentenced to life in prison after he admitted he was present when the murders were committed. During proceedings for post-conviction relief, the Defendant claimed his admissison was coerced when a police officer tortured him by burning him alive. The State Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission found his torture claim to be credible, and two police officers who were present refused to testify about whether the Defendant was tortured. The Trial Court twice refused to find that torture occurred, and failed to draw an adverse negative inference from the police officers refusal to testify. The Appellate Court reversed both times, and transferred the case to a new trial Judge after the Second Appeal. People v. James Gibson (Ill. App. 1st dist., March, 2019).

Are you the victim of a romance scam? You're not alone
On behalf of David M. Duree and Associates, P.C. posted in Civil Rights and Consumer Protection on Friday, March 29, 2019.
There are a seemingly endless number of online dating sites to help people find the loves of their lives -- or just someone with whom to connect. Unfortunately, however, the people you meet online aren't always what they seem. So-called "romance scams" are more prevalent than any other kind of consumer fraud by a wide margin -- and they're becoming more common.

Vindictive Ex-GirlFriend Ordered to Pay $7,600,000.
By David Duree of David M. Duree and Associates, P.C. on Thursday, March 28, 2019.
An ex-girlfriend (Lee) was ordered to pay $7,600,000 to her former boyfriend (who sued as John Doe) after she created false social media accounts in Doe's neame, then published highly offensive material directed to hundreds of Doe's relatives, clients, bosses and professional associates. She also slipped into Doe's secure building behind and unsuspecting resident and vandalized his car. Doe, in his mid-40's, met Lee, a 19-year old exotic dancer and professional "Sugar Baby" in Las Vegas. The Court awarded $2,500,000 for defamation damages and $5,000,000 in punitive damages. John Doe v. Jessica Jiahui Lee (U.S. Dist. Ct., N.D. Ill., case no 18-C-1193, March, 2019).

Shift the financial burden to the person liable for the accident
On behalf of David M. Duree and Associates, P.C. posted in Personal Injury on Friday, March 22, 2019.
A personal injury claim can help innocent victims shift the financial burden of the incident from themselves to the party that is liable for the accident. This is important because many people don't have the money that it takes to get the medical care needed after a serious accident. Most won't have the funds to help with other damages, either.

Prisons Must Give Inmates Meat that meets their Religious Dietary Restrictions
The Federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act ("the Act") requires prisons to provide their inmates with meat that does not substantially burden their ability to practice religion. In the case of a muslim inmate, serving 225 years for murder, this means providing him with Kosher meat, which he has accepted as an alternative to keeping Halal. The U.S. Seventh Circuit relied on the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby in ruling that the act prohibits prisons from imposing a substantial burden on the practice of religion by refusing to provide Kosher meat to a practising muslim under these circumstances. Roman Lee Jones v. Robert E. Carter, jr., commissioner, Indiana Department of Corrections. (U.S. 7th Cir., Feb 15, 2019).

Is it really a big deal if you do not wear your seat belt?

Owning a business comes with a lot of responsibilities. It is imperative that you make decisions based on what is best for the company. Unfortunately, there might come a time when you have some difficult choices to make if your company is facing a lawsuit. The goal, in this case, is going to have to be two-fold. You will have to try to minimize the impact that the legal matter has on your company while reducing the way that the preparation affects it.

We asked members of our medical staff to answer some common questions they hear from their patients. Check out their answers.
Q: How often should my child see their pediatrician?
A: It's important that your child have all of their required vaccinations on time, and infants and toddlers usually have several well child visits during the first few years of life. After age three, all children should have a yearly well child check with a healthcare provider that includes assessment of their growth, development and a physical exam. Seeing your child every year instead of just when they're sick gives us the opportunity to focus on identifying any potential problems and prevention. Teenagers need annual well child visits too. Their worlds are changing very quickly and they often have many questions that we can help with. A full list of required immunizations is available at www.cchwyo.org/peds.
Q: How often should I have a Pap test?
A: A Pap test is performed by your healthcare provider, who takes a sample of cervical cells and sends them to a lab to see if abnormal cells are present. It usually takes 2-7 years for serious changes in cervical cells to become cancerous, but even then there may be no noticeable symptoms. Screening may detect these changes before they become cancer. According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, women ages 21-65 should have a Pap test every 3 years, even if they have no symptoms. If there are symptoms or a woman has had abnormal cells before, the Pap test might be needed more often. A woman over 65 may not need a Pap test at all if she is screened regularly or has no history of cervical changes. A woman who has had a hysterectomy due to cancer, or significant changes before removal of the cervix should continue Pap tests for 20 years after surgery. A woman who had a hysterectomy without a history of abnormal cells does not need a routine Pap test. Always check with your healthcare provider for their specific recommendation.
Q: Why is exercise so important in preventing and controlling diabetes and high blood pressure?
A: Exercise makes you more sensitive to insulin, which helps decrease your glucose levels. Vigorous exercise can decrease your A1C (a measurement of blood sugar over time) by 1 point and blood pressure by 5-10 points. I recommend exercising five days a week, and the two days off shouldn't be back-to-back. Resistance training using your own body weight, such as squats, lunges and push-ups is a great way to work multiple muscle groups. The more muscles you use, the more sugar you burn, which can increase insulin sensitivity. High blood pressure and diabetes are widespread health problems in the United States today. More than 50% of people over age 60 have hypertension, or high blood pressure; and diabetes affects more than 8% of the whole U.S. population and up to 40% of those are undiagnosed.

Nightlife: Super Saturday in Healdsburg
Looking for an urban-feel dance party in Sonoma County? We know just the place.
By Estefany Gonzalez
https://www.sonomamag.com/dance-party-in-healdsburg/
Looking for a local urban-feel dance party to avoid the nighttime commute to the city, the extreme San Francisco hills and the competitive parking? Super Saturday, an event at outdoor bar-meets-Italian restaurant venue Campo Fina in Healdsburg, serves up killer cocktails to DJ beats — with a side of bocce ball to break the ice.
Last Saturday, Campo Fina DJs kept the crowd happy by bringing a mix of dance-disco nostalgia and contemporary electronica-hip hop to the deck. First time Super Saturday attendee and Healdsburg resident Kelsey Walsh enjoyed the atmosphere. "It's a really fun thing for the community," she said.
Although the Super Saturday crowd consisted of mostly locals, Marline Trevino, in town visiting friends, said she enjoyed the friendly environment. "So far, just being here in the last 15 minutes, it seems really cool…I love the atmosphere," she said.
Part of Super Saturday's appeal is that it offers a little something-for-everyone — a relaxed California-backyard-vibe, but with an urban edge. And the something-for-everyone extends to the drink menu: for a little sophistication in your shaker, try Campo Fina's Moscow Mule — a pink vodka cocktail with angostura bitters and Fever Tree ginger beer, served in a tall glass — and for the down-to-earth brew crowd, its the $4 Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or web page on to the Internet. When Internet users want to view your website, all they need to do is type your website address into their browser.
Their computer will then connect to your server and your webpages will be delivered to them through the browser. Most hosting companies require that you own your domain name in order to host with them. If you do not have a domain name, the hosting companies will help you purchase one.. Most of your current files (documents, pictures, software etc) are sitting there on your personal computer/laptop.
Only you can access them, right? If you wanted to show those files to other people, you'd have to send the files to those people, think of web hosting as sending your 'files' to a whole lot of people.
Your website is the file and essentially it's being put up on the internet for people to view. So instead of having to send complex website files to people in order for them to be able to see your website, they're able to simply type in your website URL and view it all there. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed in the Internet. Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers.
With all the different types of hosting available, it can be confusing as to which one is right for you. Do you choose shared hosting, a VPS, or a Dedicated server?
In this article we will cover the basics of the different types of hosting plans so you can find which type is the right one for you.
Shared hosting is the most classic and most popular hosting plan along most people on the world. Web hosting in which the service provider serves pages for multiple Web sites, each having its own Internet domain name, from a single Web server. The main reason why people pick this plan is that they actually don't need more than that. It's also usually the cheapest hosting option.
Having a plan to start–up a venture using your own or borrowed capital.
Expecting a low initial rate of visitors say 500 per day.
Limited number of email accounts to be set up as you currently have only a limited number of employees.
Planning to host and maintain only your web site and a couple of blogs etc.
VPS hosting is more powerful than shared hosting, since everyone gets a nice private virtual server each. So technically, you get a nice chunk of server space etc for yourself. That's a nice step up from the shared hosting option. So even though technically you're on the same physical machine as others, you have your own little space – so no sharing with others. This usually means a better performance and faster loading speeds.
Dedicated servers are often the fastest and most powerful choices available, though some of the high-end VPS options can give the lower performing dedicated servers a run for their money.
Leasing an entire server on which to host your website. You get access to all hardware and software from your web server software right down to the operating system all for a very hefty price.
Dedicated hosting is only for the heaviest of power users. The ability to control your own operating system often can mean your on your own when it comes to software support and by the nature of your own customization's, should the hardware fail it can take more time to recover your site. If however you have security sensitive data on your website or a very high traffic load a dedicated server may be for you as you alone have access to the system meaning that all RAM/CPU/disk space/etc is under your full control.
The result is that performance should be very predictable, which is very important for those who are planning on hosting e-commerce solutions or planning on monetizing their website(s) in other ways.
Cloud hosting is an entirely different, I guess you could say it's a little like renting.
With normal hosting, you get a machine that gives you resources, like memory and CPU time. With Cloud hosting, you don't have a machine. Your hardware is virtual, which brings a whole host of cool benefits.
It's pretty advanced and can be pretty cost efficient when compared with the other types of hosting, but it's definitely something that is trending on 2015 and beyond.

After a tornado with 125 mile-per-hour winds touched down in Lancaster County's rural community of White Horse Wednesday night, first responders say residents have come together in order to repair at least $8 million worth of property damage.
Sam Stoltzfus, the president of White Horse Fire Company, hasn't heard any reports of injury, but he said between 40 and 50 buildings, including several barns were damaged. An Amish schoolhouse was flattened.
Stoltzfus said the large Amish community in White Horse has already begun repairs with the help of the other residents in the area.
Based on the way current reconstruction is going, he thinks children could return to the damaged school within the next week.
As many as 400 local volunteers came out Friday to help with repair efforts, Stoltzfus said, bringing the total number of people who have lent a hand in the past two days to an estimated 1,000.

Khan Academy builds a global classroom with help from Dropbox for Business
By Paige Tsai
Khan Academy is using technology to change education. Driven by the mission to provide first-class, personalized education to students all over the world, Khan Academy has more than 500,000 registered teachers and has delivered over 400 million lessons. The nonprofit organization provides free online materials and resources — like practice exercises and instructional videos — to help people of all ages learn a wide range of subjects.
When Khan Academy first set out, the team relied on email and external hard drives to store and share company materials. But as the staff of contributors grew — and the lecture library did too — the team had to decide which content took priority and which files could be moved or deleted. It was clear they needed a new solution that could keep up with the company's rapid growth, so they turned to Dropbox for Business.
Esther Cho, Executive Assistant to Founder Sal Khan, remembers how excited the team was to get the additional space and functionality that Dropbox for Business provided. "It was like a party in here," she said. "It felt like we suddenly had an abundance of resources, and it completely eased everyone's anxiety." With the upgrade, Khan Academy used Dropbox for Business to store and share essentially all of its materials — from educational videos to corporate policy paperwork. The team even stores photos and videos from company events on Dropbox instead of on multiple external hard drives.
For example, when Khan Academy decided to host a middle school summer camp, the team used Dropbox to archive all the media coverage so it could be easily accessed whenever necessary. As Minli Virdone, Head of Strategy and Programs, explained, "All of our HR and administrative materials are in Dropbox. So if there's a change, for example, to the health insurance plan, we just tell people where it is in Dropbox. Then they can print their own paperwork — which is really helpful."
Dropbox for Business also serves as a repository for Khan Academy's grant proposals, keeping associated grant materials neatly organized so they're easily accessible to external collaborators. For Virdone, this makes a huge difference. "I no longer have to be responsible for sending anything to the people involved in the grant-writing process. It's a great help!"
Additionally, it's much easier for the team to send large files, like when preparing for events such as TedX or the Social Innovation Summit. Event coordinators can easily access advance copies of videos and presentation slides through Dropbox, without worrying about FTP or email attachment limits. "I just sent a video to the U.S. Department of State when Sal spoke for its Webchat Series," Cho said. "Because I used Dropbox, the Department got it right away. If I'd had to download that onto a flash drive and mail it, it would've been much more time consuming and stressful."
With functionality like remote access and unlimited version history, Dropbox for Business has transformed operations at Khan Academy. As Virdone put it, "Dropbox for Business gives us one centralized place for everything — the place of all truth. You go to that place of all truth and you can get any of the materials you need."
To see how Dropbox for Business can boost efficiency and collaboration for your team, try it free ! (And don't forget to ask about our discounts for nonprofits!)

How did she touch the peoples future?
did she use sticks of yarrow?
[reply]How did she touch the peoples future?
It sounds to ME like your GranMum is a VERY gifted psychic/medium. That is a GOOD thing - usually.
My own great-grandmother would sit down to read her Bible at night while I was supposed to be at our church's prayer meetings, and she would get visions of my friend Linda and I -- rollerskating downtown, or out riding around the hotdog stands with boys in cars, and ONE night, when the car we'd been in was involved in a severe accident (no one hurt, but right after we all scrambled out of the turned-over car, it BLEW UP!) the minute I came in through the front door she said, "Was anyone else hurt?"
She would get [i]FLASHES[/i] -- like watching a movie -- and there wasn't very much I could do without her knowing about it. She always said this came from The Lord ... but I know [i]her[/i] ideas of angels and God were probably related more to UFO abductions than to religious apparitions, because [i]I[/i] was NEVER allowed to talk about any of [i]my[/i] adventures with the aliens -- because I had my mother "bad blood"... and that automatically made [i]ANYTHING[/i] out of the normal something Evil.
But if my great-grandmother's visitations were Godly, then why did she have an alien implant fall out of her nose during a severe headache and nosebleed incident?!?!? At the time I had no idea what it was, but I DID know it was [i]important[/i] so I saved it and carried it around with me for over 20 years. It was destroyed in an apartment building fire, and wouldn't you know it? 15 years later I realized what I'd been in possession of, all those years, and I have been devastated about losing it in that fire, ever since!
Some days are DIAMONDS; some days are STONES!
does you gmums talent run in the family?
Mine passed in 1966; she was 79. I never knew how she felt after her experiences. She always just went to bed.
Yes, I have had flashes of knowing things, but I've never tried to enhance it except with Numerology. The few times I was reading the numbers and saw unpleasant things ahead for the clients, I really didn't like knowing. So I gave up the Numbers, except for a few dabblings, here and there, to answer some of my own curiosities about things. Occasionally I'll offer to do a chart for a newborn, or as a birthday gift for someone.

'We're a responsible retailer': Dealz responds to its run-ins with local planners
The discount retailer is planning to open at least 10 new stores in Ireland next year.
By Conor McMahon Deputy editor, Fora August 23rd 2019 3 min read
THE BOSS OF Dealz has said the discount retailer will "do what's appropriate" when it comes to seeking planning permission for future stores in Ireland.
The chain, which currently operates 66 outlets nationwide, has announced plans to launch at least 10 more locations in Ireland by the end of next year as part of a €10 million investment.
Dealz, which operates stores in Spain and Poland and trades as Poundland in the UK, has previously been accused of failing to secure adequate planning permission for some developments.
A previous analysis by Fora revealed that since its launch in Ireland eight years ago, Dealz has been involved in at least 15 disputes with local authorities.
Wexford council ruled that the company broke planning laws by opening a store in Clonard Retail Park, while a dispute with An Bord Pleanála over the operation of a unit near Dublin's Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is currently before the High Court.
Asked whether it was company policy to build stores without securing full planning permission, Dealz managing director Barry Williams – who also oversees Poundland in the UK – said: "It's not policy. Our policy is to do what's right on the appropriate scheme.
"It comes back to (our) agility and being flexible, really. Whatever is right in that location is what we would look to achieve," Williams said, adding that he doesn't believe the company is putting jobs at risk "as a result of what we're doing".
When specifically asked to confirm whether the 10 potential new locations in the pipeline for 2020 will have sufficient planning permission, Williams said, "I won't go into specific details on any sites, but look, we're a responsible retailer. We operate well within this marketplace. Like I say, we'll do the right things according to the location of the site."

Williams said that about five potential locations have already been "signed up" as part of next year's expansion in Ireland.
"There are a few in the Dublin area, reaching down towards Cork where we've currently got two stores that are really successful.
"We've got over 60 stores in Ireland now. I think there's room for plenty more. We've set a target of 10, but I'm happy to exceed 10 … If I ended up with 20 (new stores) at the end of the year, I'd be happy," he said.
Describing Dealz as a "landlord or property developer's dream", Williams said the company is open to exploring both vacant units and occupied properties where the health of the current tenant's business is in question.
As well as operating 66 Dealz shops in Ireland, the brand has launched in more than 40 locations across Spain and Poland.
In addition to running around 850 Poundland stores in the UK, parent company Pepkor Europe also operates discount retail brand Pepco in 11 eastern European countries.
It was recently reported that Pepkor Europe could be sold off or floated in the coming months. Williams said this is "purely speculation" and couldn't confirm the move.
"What I would say is, Pepkor Europe is a very strong, robust business and I think a very attractive business," he said.
"Each one of (our) operating divisions is doing well in the marketplace, I think as long as we remain focused on driving the business performance, then there will always be speculation about what is an attractive business proposition."

The first meeting of this committee is Jan. 23rd, in Raleigh. Public comment will not be allowed. The City Council of Asheville and the MSD have put together a Task Force to present the current state of the water system to the 'water committee', at this first meeting. A total of four hearings are allowed under the General Assembly's mandate - at least one will happen in Asheville, with the first potentially in February.
It could happen pretty quickly after that - they have until April, but they don't have to take that long. Anytime after the fourth hearing, the committee could put forward legislation for the full House to consider, and it could become law by summer 2012.
The 'water committee' led by Rep. Tim Moffitt: Metropolitan Sewerage/Water System Committee.
Financial stability of the current systems on a historic basis and the anticipated financial stability of a combined system.
Cost-benefit analysis of a combined system, including a review of assets and liabilities; personnel needs; equipment and infrastructure replacement schedules; facilities leased and owned; and fee schedules.
Taxpayer investment in the systems.
Conservation and water efficiency practices.
The disposition of property in Article 12 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes as it relates to the conveyance of a water system.
The transfer of permits when a water system is conveyed.
Any local acts applicable to the city or metropolitan sewerage district.
Other items the Commission deems relevant to the study.
From the 2011 ALEC Annual Meeting Program: "A few of the issues that the Task Force will be considering at Annual Meeting include: public-private partnerships, a national infrastructure bank, long-term asset management, and multiple award schedule contracts... the Task Force meeting will (also) host a panel on effective privatization: 'Tapping the Private Sector to Save Money and Improve Performance.'"

This year, Bompas & Parr and Captain Morgan rum are taking Londoners on a nautical adventure to an underground paradise: the Lost Lagoon.
Launching until early April, this ticketed event is hidden in a secret subterranean central London location and offers the chance for budding buccaneers to leave the dark, dank English winter on a delicious journey of discovery.
Tickets available from just £25, including two drinks.
With a plot inspired by the world's most famous buccaneer himself, Lost Lagoon represents a fantastical reinterpretation of the eponymous Captain Henry Morgan's world, and will require guests to navigate themselves by boat on the world's largest indoor lagoon to a series of islands inspired by the atolls of the south Pacific.
Along the way, facing creative challenges as part of an immersive theatrical production, buccaneers will receive rum-based rations and progressively accumulate the knowledge to make the finest rum punches, reinvigorating a 400-year-old rhyme-based recipe that has stood the test of time to remain the simplest way to make a great-tasting punch – with no obscure ingredients or complex techniques required.
Armed with their final recipe, they will find Captain Morgan's ultimate hidden bounty -– an island party palace for urban luaus set against a radical reimagining of south Pacific island-inspired tiki culture.
Perfect for groups, and with a dress code of Neo-Tiki, the vibe will be colourful and celebratory: think beyond nautical, beyond beach, beyond buccaneer. At the Lost Lagoon, more is most definitely more.
Voyages depart from West 12 shopping centre, Shepherd's Bush, London, W12 8PP. Go to www.lostlagoon.org to ensure your tickets.
Follow @LostLagoonLondon on Facebook; for Instagram, it's LostLagoonLondon; and on Twitter, it's @LostLagoonLDN. Use #rumquest to connect with other buccaneers. Off-peak tickets are £25 and peak tickets are £30. All tickets include two free drinks.

NIP blows 2.3m on lawyers in 120 days
May 24, 2019adminHome, News0Like
By Eliaser Ndeyanale
The Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) has blown N$2.3 million on five law firms and two auditing firms within the period of a mere four months.
The amount in question was paid from June to September last year on the litigation and disciplinary hearings of six executives who are still on suspension.
Documents in possession of The Patriot show Muluti & Partner as the biggest beneficiary as it was remunerated N$1,2 million between 09 July and 04 September last year.
The second biggest recipient was auditing firm PwC which was paid N$706,192 when it conducted a forensic audit on the suspended executives including former chief executive officer Augustinus Katiti who has now been expelled on allegations of corruption and maladministration.
Kobus Miller Law office is one of the law firms that was paid a hefty amount. This law firm was paid N$123 000 between the 3rd and the 9th of August.
Another legal chamber, Sibeya & Partner was remunerated N$111,780 on 21 August while Sisa Namandje & Co was paid for services rendered at N$97,560 on 04 September and Tunga Holdings was paid N$16,923.97.
De Beer Law Chambers got N$36,129.17.
This is not the first time NIP has gone a spending spree in obtaining legal opinion. In May 2017, NIP paid lawyer Lucius Murorua more than N$500 000 for advising the state-owned company on the Procurement Act. His report came to 25 pages in total.
The Patriot understands that Murorua, who instructed South African lawyer Advocate Vincent Maleka and Advocate Thabang Phatela had been appointed without NIP board approval.
Further the sources stated that the NIP board resolved to obtain the services of a legal advisor by getting quotations, but Katiti allegedly "hijacked" the process and gave it to Murorua without seeking quotations. The invoice was allegedly paid immediately.
A month after NIP paid Murorua, it then commissioned lawyer Kadhila Amoomo to advise on the matter between itself and ST Freight Services CC. Amoomo was paid N$25 000 for his 32 page legal opinion.
According to documents seen by The Patriot, on 27 May 2017, NIP paid N$528 340 to lawyer Lucius Murorua who later instructed Johannesburg based advocate, Vincent Maleka; this despite him saying he is the most experienced lawyer in the country.
Speaking to The Patriot this week, Murorua confirmed that he was instructed by former NIP chief executive officer Augustinus Katiti to help the pathological service provider with legal opinion.
Murorua confirmed that Katiti is his friend but denied that he was approached because they are friends. He also defended the amount saying that Namibia is a billion dollar economy where majority of the people are excluded.
"Now you're losing sleep over the amount that was paid three years ago and the client is not complaining, nobody is complaining but to you it's news worthy story. Why is that?
Did you even ask yourself, what it is that you are doing? I have 26 years of professional standing; the client was happy with the outcome, I briefed them and they said thank you.
Are you trying to cause harm, damage and breakdown? I am within the society, I am the senior. You must listen to me. What you are literally doing is pain, damage, break-down and criminalises legitimate earning of black people that are legitimately working in Namibia. I don't know what is your problem? (sic)" a seemingly agitated Murorua said.
"I was appointed on (the) merit. I am the most senior council in the country if that is your concern. I was approached by NIP CEO at the time. I know the CEO as a fellow Namibian.
Of course I am his friend, but the basis of the instruction is not friendship. I am very well qualified, I am an expert in law, and I hold a master's degree. Doesn't that satisfy you?" he further asked.
Murorua also said that those that are complaining about N$528 340 are talking nonsense and he does not care whether it was approved by the board as he is a service provider who has charged according to his own tariffs. He says it is totally legitimate.
"I am entitled to claim N$500 000 or an amount beyond that because N$500 000 is a lot in your own imagination. Don't criminalise people's endeavours of their professionals (sic).
There is absolutely nothing wrong about that. I charge based on my tariff. I don't even know the genesis of your complain. You are self-subordinating," he said.
Contacted for comment on Wednesday this week, Katiti said that the board of directors of NIP wanted to be involved with all procurement matters, to the extent that they appointed a board procurement sub-committee of which Advocate Frans Kwala was the chairperson.
According to him, the enactment of the Public Procurement Act, 2015 would make the sub-committee redundant and the board members were not pleased to the extent that they wanted to challenge the government, more specifically the ministry of finance in a court of law.
"Their opinion was that the Public Procurement Act, 2015 was undermining their fiduciary duties as directors. It is to this effect that they then requested for a legal opinion, which they hoped would be in their favour, so that they could then institute legal action against the government and the ministry of finance.
Kwala wanted this legal opinion to be done by Advocate (Slysken) Makando, and hence requested Ms Olivia Van Der Colff, a candidate legal practitioner working for Kwala & Company Inc., to draft a brief to counsel (Adv Makando), which the company secretary of NIP, Mr Gibson Imbili, was to put on the company letterhead of NIP and forward same to Adv Makando.
Mr Kwala was well aware of this dishonest and unethical arrangement as he was copied in the electronic mail."
Katiti added that Imbili undeniably wanted to send the letter to Makando and requested him (Katiti) for permission. Imbili had also already asked a colleague, Frieda Nangolo, who was the Executive Secretary in the ICT Department to type out the letter for him on the NIP letterhead as instructed by Van Der Colff.
"With the above background, I appointed a totally different law firm, Murorua, Kurtz, Kasper Incorporated, to provide us with an independent legal opinion.
"In terms of the Procurement Policies and Procedures (page 28) of NIP, a Head of Department (HOD) and Manager: Finance and Procurement can approve expenditure on non-consumables such as services rendered by an approved supplier, of less than N$1 million.
In fact, an HOD and CEO can approve expenditure on non-consumables such as services rendered by an approved supplier, of more than N$1 million," he said.
He added that the approval of the board was not necessary.
"Why did the board never question my authority when I submitted the legal opinion for consideration at one of the board meetings?
I can recall that the services of one senior counsel, one junior counsel and a senior attorney were used to obtain a comprehensive legal opinion. An amount of N$500,000 spent among three senior legal experts is very fair and reasonable, which works out at approximately N$167,000 per legal expert.
The board of NIP might be best advised to curb the uncontrolled legal costs on wasteful litigation and disciplinary hearings that is costing the State-owned enterprise millions of Namibia Dollars. The disciplinary hearings of five senior officials are still ongoing and it might be in the public interest for the board of directors of NIP to disclose, also as a matter of transparency, how much they have to-date spent on wasted legal costs?," he added.
NIP board spokesperson Frans Kwala confirmed that the board's approval was not sought.
"He (Katiti) is talking nonsense. He lied to the board (that) he had quotations in his office which he never produced.
He was required to get 3 quotations. I made a recommendation that the company can consider him (Makando). He could have produced a better opinion for less than N$150 000. Makando would have done it without any assistance," Kwala said.
Asked how much NIP spent on disciplinary hearings of the suspended executives, he said he was not aware of the amount.
Murorua responds
Post having had the right to reply, Mr Mororua penned a 3 page 'demand for right to privacy or accurate reporting' letter to this publication.
Mr Murorua lamented the slant of questions put to him by this journalist accusing this publication of the "deliberate twisting of facts and baseless sullying, tainting and insinuation of corruption onto otherwise regulate and lawful commercial transaction."
The lawyer continues to repeat many of the comments already given to the reporter penning how questions 'degenerated' from one to the next. "There is no complaint against me from NIP, there is no theft or corruption, but still black journalist would spare me no flag (sic)."
"When I metaphorically suggested why he is not paid 5 cents as salary to demonstrate the farcical nature of his enquiry the issue digressed to my friendship with Mr Katiti as having been the basis for instructing of my practice," the letter reads in part.

A pair of Cape Stinkwood and Yellowwood Inlaid Neo-Classical Chairs, late 18th c. The Neo-Classical Style was popular in Europe from about 1760 to 1820 and first reached the Cape in the late 1780s with the arrival of the French Troops to support the Dutch in defending the Cape against the British. The yellowwood inlay work, architectural details and proportions predominant in this particular pair set them apart from the majority of other known examples. Their beautiful patina tells the story of their journey from the day they were made to the present day. Their elegant design makes them a timeless addition to any modern interior.
