Tetsu Nakamura–doctor, farmer, and hero of Afghanistan
by Nassrine Azimi, Co-Founder/Coordinator, Green Legacy Hiroshima Initiative
HIROSHIMA— Afghanistan has lived through so many tragedies throughout its recent modern history that one would be forgiven to think it inured to still one more tragedy. Yet the nation-wide outpouring of grief and outrage, at the murder of the Japanese physician and development worker Dr. Tetsu Nakamura and five of his colleagues in Nangarhar, in eastern Afghanistan, has been intense and heartbreaking. Candlelight vigils are taking place across the cities and valleys of Afghanistan for this slight Japanese with a gentle demeanor. On Saturday the Afghan president helped carry his flag-draped coffin on its way to Japan amidst an official salute at Kabul Airport. Afghan communities across Japan came together in memorial services, many weeping openly alongside colleagues and ordinary Japanese. The National Diet observed a moment of silence.
My friend Sabahuddin Sokout wrote from Kabul "We really lost humanity, he was working for the people. We have no words to even present our condolences, we could not protect our single most loyal Japanese companion." Afghans are a resilient people, having endured much that would be unendurable for many. One of their last protected realms is their deep sense of honor, and they now feel that in not being able to protect the life of one of their best friends, that honor, too, has been assailed.
I first learned of the work of Dr. Nakamura in 2003. My institute had just opened its Asia-Pacific Office in Hiroshima, and the centerpiece of our work was the Hiroshima Fellowship program for Afghan professionals. It was a unique concept, the result of much trial and error—slow and long-term in implementation, modest in budget and ambitious in goals. Funded in the main by Hiroshima Prefecture and benefitting from pro-bono professional support from many institutions and dedicated individuals across the world, the Fellowship also aspired to find ways to meaningfully distill and share the lessons of the post-war reconstruction and peace from Hiroshima, and Japan, with the Afghans.
I had been personally familiar with Afghanistan from a childhood trip in the 1960s, and was shocked at the wreckage and misery I had found, upon returning in 2002 after the fall of the Taliban. Even Kabul, once a city of tree-lined avenues and crisp, blue skies was full of bullet-riddled walls, bereft of any greenery, a detritus of 30 years of war and neglect. It had become clear to my team and I that the Hiroshima Fellowship needed a different model of human resource development—that quick, glib, unsustainable programs were meaningless for a country emerging from three decades of war.
One day my colleague Hiroko Nakayama, like Dr. Nakamura a native of Fukuoka Prefecture, excitedly explained to me about his efforts to adapt to Afghan conditions some of the irrigation techniques used since the Edo period in Fukuoka's Yamadazeki, to revive fields that had succumbed to the merciless Afghan drought. I remember wondering what a medical doctor, who had dedicated decades of his life to treating leprosy and other diseases in the most remote and impoverished areas in the region, would be doing, creating oblique dams, agricultural fields and irrigation projects?
In reality the philosophy was simple: Dr. Nakamura and his non-profit, Peace Japan Medical Services, Peshawar-kai in Japanese, the organization he established in Fukuoka to fund his projects, aligned first and foremost with the needs of the neediest Afghans. 'We go where no one else wants to go, and do what no one else is willing to do' was how he summarized their operating principles. When questioned about his priorities, he would remind that access to clean water and food had become, for hundreds of thousands of Afghans, a matter of life and death—so treating disease would have to come later, after saving lives at the brink. Dismissive of expensive, dependence-generating gadgetry and high-tech solutions, in his medical work as his later well-digging and irrigation projects, Dr. Nakamura's modus operandi was clear—in his own words about how to benefit the maximum number of people with the minimum amount of money. Projects had to be affordable, and Afghans themselves able to sustain them. His development ethos should become a text book reference, taught in development aid and MBA programs across the world.
Winner of the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia's 'Nobel Prize', Dr. Nakamura spoke in a 2006 lecture of his early treks across the Hindu Kush as a young physician, to provide leprosy treatment for patients in far-flung villages. He recounted one incident at 2800 meters altitude, when villagers on meeting him for the first time asked if he were French—he was simply the first foreigner they had ever met, so they randomly chose a country. Once they learned he was Japanese, though, they opened up, adopting him as their own. He wrote movingly of many such encounters, where desperately poor and mostly illiterate villagers nonetheless 'also knew about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Everywhere I went, no matter how deep in the mountains, villagers knew these things. I believe their respect toward Japan comes from the fact that they too have experienced misery through the western domination and that they have been deprived of (a) peaceful life by that'.
Where he differed even more with the run-of-the-mill development projects was in his utter and absolute sensitivity to questions of culture and human dignity—maybe a particularly strong Japanese trait. He even mobilized funding to build mosques and madrassas, convinced of the folly of ignoring ordinary Afghans' culture and traditions. What is wrong with building madrassas he would argue, if it helps keep the peace, and allows children to learn to read and write—just like Japan's old terakoya—temple schools?
Dr. Nakamura's foresight in anticipating the ravages of climate change on Afghanistan and across the region proved prescient, putting to shame so many expensive international developmental projects and transient expert opinions, unfit to that country's immediate priorities. Earlier than most he foresaw that less and less snow in the Hindu Kush mountains meant worsening drought, wasted farmlands, poor and displaced farmers turned into refugees, with the Taliban militants often the only sources of employment, food and dignity. Between 2003 and 2010 his Peshawar-kai and thousands of villagers alongside Afghan and Japanese volunteers rallied, to create more than 24 kilometers of irrigation canals that brought water to almost 16,000 hectares of farmland, ultimately feeding more than 600,000 Afghans. To see the pictures of the transformation—desert plains returned to fertile life, irrigation canals lined with willow trees and their powerful protective roots--is to believe again, as my friend Sokout wrote, in humanity.
In contrast since the beginning of the War on Terror in 2001, the United States alone, according to its own Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, has spent close to 760 billion US dollars on Afghanistan. The independent Cost of War Project, at Brown University, considers this an underestimation, putting the figure closer to a mind-boggling two-trillion US dollars. To compare such expenditures with the infinitely modest sums that Dr. Nakamura's projects used, and to observe the results, is to face the massive failure of the US war machinery and maybe even the international development apparatus. Dr. Nakamura understandably despised the War on Terror, the damages of which he saw at close range, often at personal risk. Some of his rare harsh public comments were against the monstrosity of military campaigns against Afghan villages—the earlier Soviet ones, and the more recent American ones. When in the aftermath of September 11, 2011 the United States military started bombing campaigns, he publicly stated that bombing Afghanistan for whatever reason before the onset of winter was a criminal act. Twice, while they were hauling massive boulders to create the irrigation canals, he and his co-workers were mistakenly shot at by US military helicopters. He wrote later of that experience: 'They flew in the skies, to kill—while we labored on the land, to live.'
On one distinct and now in hindsight painful occasion this year I missed being in the presence of this diminutive giant. It was August 26 and I was in Tokyo briefly, having spent the day consulting with numerous Japanese and Afghan experts about a botanical garden initiative our volunteer group was envisioning for the ancient Afghan city of Herat. That very evening partners at Shizenkan University were hosting doctor Nakamura, who was in Japan for a series of lectures about his decades-long work. He was an encyclopedia for any development project in Afghanistan, and I wanted to seek his advice for our botanical garden plans. But I did not feel ready yet, our ideas were still too vague and scattered. I thought it would be wiser to consult him once our plans had matured. That chance is now lost. If anything I feel, alongside so many Afghan friends, that the only way to atone for his death is to continue fighting for his legacy and his vision. I hope to see the day when the first botanical garden of Afghanistan will be named in his honor.
With his traditional Afghan wool cap, his shabby overalls and his bushy mustache—so common among Afghan men—Dr. Nakamura, this most humane of humanists, fully lived up to his name. The Chinese character of his first name, Tetsu 哲is used in the word for philosopher, and his family name, Nakamura 中村, translates into 'middle of the village'. Dr. Tetsu Nakamura was a true philosopher, embracing action and standing till the end right in the middle of his beloved Afghan villages—this was how he lived, worked and died. Afghanistan, and the rest of us, have lost a true treasure.

Fruity, touch of yeast and other inviting complex aromas.
One finger head with minimal lacing.
Medium mouth feel and carbonation.
Being greeted by man's best friend (the dog and the beer) is a truly wonderful way to end your day. This winter ale hit the spot with big flavor and minimal ABV. Here's one you could sit back and relax with on a cold winter's 'eve. One after another after another.
This is a terrific Belgian Dubbel style everyone will appreciate. I must get acquainted with the other Smuttynose litter mates soon. Good dog! Good beer!

Man allegedly stole ambulance from hospital to go buy heroin
Police: Man stole ambulance with EMS provider sleeping in back
Police: La. man who stole ambulance claimed he was going to Japan
After officers ordered him to exit the rig, Lehmann fled on foot, cocked his arm at the officers, was taken to the ground and cuffed, according to a Fremont Police report.
Lehmann then reportedly claimed that he was an undercover police officer, that he was God, and that his wife was at the hospital giving birth to Jesus Christ.
Lehmann had called for the ambulance after first claiming that his girlfriend was in labor, then saying that she was having an asthma attack, police say.
The woman with Lehmann was having difficulty breathing and was treated by EMS.
Lehmann was transported to the emergency room for a mental health evaluation.

Pupils are allocated four supervisors in the course of their 12 month pupillage. This ensures that each pupil sees a variety of work of differing levels of complexity within Chambers and broadens their exposure to different working styles.
Keating Chambers is committed to providing all of its pupils with comprehensive training in the core skills required for practice in our field. Pupils are encouraged to prepare drafts of pleadings, advices, letters and other documents that their supervisor or other members are instructed to prepare, as well as preparing skeleton arguments for hearings. They also attend conferences with clients, and hearings in court, arbitrations, adjudications and mediations. In the first three months, the pupil will work almost exclusively for their pupil supervisor. Thereafter, the pupil will do work both for their supervisors and for other members of Chambers.
We place a great deal of emphasis on the quality of our advocacy. We organise a series of assessed exercises in which our pupils compete against each other in mock court hearings based on real cases to ensure that our pupils are fully prepared for practice as specialist advocates. In the second six months, we also get our pupils into court as much as possible.
Where possible, we arrange an exchange week with a firm of solicitors so that pupils can see how a typical construction department operates. We also encourage our pupils to take part in the TCC marshalling scheme.
The experience of pupillage at Keating Chambers is a rewarding, challenging and enjoyable one, and as such our pupils invariably want to apply for tenancy. Pupils applying for tenancy are assessed against the Selection Criteria. Each of the pupil's supervisors provides a report to the Tenancy Committee, as do each of the members of chambers for whom work has been done and the judge of each of the advocacy exercises. The Tenancy Committee then provides a report to Chambers with a recommendation as to whether each pupil should be offered a tenancy. The final decision is then made in a Chambers' meeting by a vote of all the members, which takes place as early in July as possible. It is very unusual for the Tenancy Committee's recommendation to be rejected.
Our retention rate of pupils to tenants is high. However, should you be unsuccessful, we will assist our pupils (as far as possible) in making other applications for tenancy or pupillage, or in choosing alternative career paths. Experience has shown that, due to our position as a leading set, pupillage with Keating Chambers is a marketable commodity. Our former pupils have secured tenancies or further pupillages in other reputable sets of chambers or have secured positions in leading law firms and continue their relationship with Chambers as instructing clients.
To find out more about what life is like as a pupil in Keating Chambers, see our junior tenants' profiles of a year in pupillage.

Revealing amazing and touching stories hidden in the hearts of the people who serve us our food.
Trailer for "Where's My Food?!"
One-in-ten Americans currently work in food service. Viewers of "Where's My Food?!" are introduced to nine extraordinary waiters and waitresses who represent a diverse mix of ages, backgrounds and incomes. The film highlights their often-hidden struggles with the NRA, poverty-level wages, discrimination, substance addictions, and serious health issues that impact coworkers and customers.
Frequent restaurant customers candidly admit how they sometimes "punish" servers by leaving very low tips. However the same customers show little awareness of how tipped employees actually earn their living. "Where's My Food?!" takes viewers behind the scenes into the "back of the house," where chefs and cooks rule.
Viewers hear academic and industry experts explain how tipping works from psychological and socioeconomic perspectives, how one executive chef runs his restaurants with an iron fist and a soft heart, and how consumers can drive positive change through awareness and political action.


One of the most popular questions in AS Templates support is how to change order of Joomla modules? It could be important in web design of your project. Let's talk a little bit about this functionality.
When Joomla! generates a page, it automatically creates pre-defined CSS classes to allow styling of the page. For example, a page might have the element. A Page Class allows you to add custom CSS to individual pages. This makes it really good for styling landing pages or particular important pages. Module has same Class Suffix functionality. Setting this parameter causes Joomla! to either add a new CSS class or modify the existing CSS class for the div element for this specific module.
Joomla 3.x offer very powerful Template Editor, available within the admin panel. The Template Editor allows you to edit your template directly in your browser. This is helpful and in case to fix/edit small issue could be faster than editing files using ftp. Lets talk about this incredible Joomla! option.
Usually, the same content is displayed over and over to everyone who visits your site. Caching can speed this up by storing some or all of the information your code generates in a file and returning it when needed.
Favicon is the small icon that appears in the browser address bar. Creating favicon make your website more professional feel.
In this tutorial we will show how to move Joomla website from one host/localhost to another. Assume you have installed and modified Joomla template on localhost and wish to move it to the live host.


The "Tiny House Community" was largely non-existent when we started building our house in 2009. We could only reach out to a handful of people doing the same thing, some of whom have since fallen off the radar. Over the last few years the concept has spread like wildfire and has been popularized by an amazing documentary as well as some reality television shows. Tiny houses appear to be bigger than ever.
With the new interest by people of all walks of life there have been a lot of folks asking questions about tiny homes. They want to know everything from how to get started to how a tiny house can change their lives.
My tiny home absolutely, unequivocally, changed my life.
But maybe not for the reasons you would expect. I didn't know while we were building that a tiny house would become bigger than the building. I had no idea that tiny living was a philosophy and in order to fully embrace everything a tiny home has to offer you really have to dig into parts of your personality that you didn't expect.
So I learned that there were things the tiny house could answer, and one big thing it could not. Let's take a look at what these are.
A tiny house can make you brave. When we started this process we didn't know the first thing about building an entire house. Sure, we could put two boards together with a screw but that doesn't necessarily result in a livable house. I figured if I had the confidence to learn how to build a house, I could probably do anything. I learned that tiny living is all about risk taking. It is about living outside of your comfort zone, no matter what you think your comfort zone is.
A tiny house can help with finances. The biggest reason I wanted to build a tiny house was to reduce my expenses and pay off my debt. It did exactly that. However, it wasn't the actually tiny house that helped. It was simply the thing that changed my mindset and got me away from thinking in such cyclical terms. My debt was paid off before we moved into the tiny house. I quit my job before we moved into our tiny house. And that takes me back to the item one.
A tiny house can give you opportunities. I had no idea when I moved into my tiny house that it would affect the way I interacted with my community. I think this has been the biggest benefit so far. Changing from a situation where I got up at the same time every day, drove the same commute, worked the same 9 hours at the same desk, drove home again, and sat on my couch to one where I felt free to schedule my own time made me excited about exploring my community and meeting new people. This has really changed my life.
But, there is one very important thing to understand that a tiny house cannot do.
The tiny house itself can't fix the things that are broken.
All three of these things: my confidence, my finances, and my desire to connect with community were already things I needed to fix. The tiny house gave me a new framework (no pun intended) to work on fixing them. But ultimately, I was the one who needed to do all the work. Not the nailing of 2X4s. Not the roofing. Not installing windows. In fact, in some ways, those were distractions. But as it came together it gave me a new perspective. It gave me something to work toward to give me the opportunity to fix these things in my life on my own.
A tiny house is not a magic bullet.
The second you move into a tiny home your problems will not be solved. It isn't the responsibility of the building to solve them for you. It can be a catalyst for you, like it was for me, but you still have to answer these questions for yourself.
I know it can be done. I've done it. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. The tiny house allowed me the confidence to do it, but there were infinite ways I could have gone about it. Your job is to pick the things in your life that you want to change most and work on changing them. Only then will the tiny house be a worthwhile stop on your journey.

Legends suggest that the green hills of Ireland have always been a place for fairy games. According to local beliefs, the forests were full of hidden settlements inhabited by supernatural creatures. Most of them have been forgotten over time, but the fairy queen Maeve received a special place in the history of the Knocknarea area and she even has a tomb that is visited by thousands of people every year. Those who visit her final resting place are searching for evidence in the mystical secrets of ancient Irish tales.
The Irish town of Sligo is famous for its stunning green hill that smells like fresh grass in the morning and covers itself with shimmering mystery at night. The name Knocknarea usually makes people think about knocking into or on something, but the truth is that ''knock'' means nothing more than hill in Irish. However, the etymology of the site's full name isn't clear. There are at least three possible explanations behind this name. Firstly, researchers suggest that it came from Cnoc na Ré , meaning "hill of the moon". However, some others say that it was Cnoc na Riogha , which means ''hill of the kings''. This interpretation also suggests that if the hill contains burials, they may belong to the ancient rulers of these lands. Finally, a very simple explanation for the name: Cnoc na Riabh , means simply ''hill of the stripes''.
No matter the name's origins, it is known as the hill of the fairies and is said to be the place where their queen is buried.
The greatest treasure of the smooth green hill is a grave that is located in the heart of the site. It has never been excavated, but there are at least two suspicions about what hides inside. First, it is believed that it contains a passage tomb dated to the Neolithic period. Secondly, many believe that the famous Fairy Queen is buried in a tomb inside this 327-meter (1,073 ft.) limestone hill.
The most important part of the site is called Medb's Varin, which is about 55 meters (180 ft.) wide and 10 meters (33ft) high. It is one of the most intriguing of the unexplored archaeological sites in Ireland and is known as the tomb of Medb or Maeve. Researchers suggest that it is about 5000 years old and, due to its long history, it became a place entwined with legend and myth. As long as the site remains unexcavated, it is impossible to conclude what it may hold. Researchers suggest that it is possible that the mysterious tomb belongs to a known Neolithic religious center in this area. However, tourists from around the world come to enjoy the hill with the burial of an ancient fairy queen.
Who was this mysterious fairy queen whose remains may be hidden under the green grass of the Knocknarea?
In English literature, she is known as Maeve, Maev, or Maive. However, in Old Irish, she was called Meḋḃ, Meaḋḃ and Medb. In old Irish mythology, she appears as a fairy queen and an independent female deity. There are a bunch of rich legends related to her, many of them describing her cruel behavior. She also seems to be one of the strongest warriors among the fairy-related deities. She was a wife of Ailill and had seven sons. She was murdered by Furbaide who wanted to avenge the death of his mother, who Maeve had killed.
This description proves that the old religion is still alive and has become a part of life in the area around the tomb, but also across Ireland. The interest in the old Irish goddess has even spread around the world, so she became an inspiration for many artists. She is also related to another famous site in Tara, Ireland.
News in local magazines suggests that the popularity of Knocknarea has brought the site to the edge of destruction. The devastation of the hill has become immense, so officials want to protect it by limiting the possible number of tourists who visit the fairy queen's tomb.
Take a piece of white bread and toast it until it's golden brown. Scratch into the bread a word or phrase representing your goal (for example, if raises at work haven't been given fairly, write the words 'work' and 'raises'). Distribute the crumbs from this to the birds so they can convey your need directly to Maeve's ears.
It is unknown if someone has really met her spirit, but many people claim that the site where she is said to be buried is perfumed with the fragrance of magic.

What the original Star Wars actors did next – from a secret affair to a tragic plane crash
ByJohnson Aiden May 4, 2022 May 4, 2022 Write a Comment on What the original Star Wars actors did next – from a secret affair to a tragic plane crash9 min read
She described it as a 3-month 1-night stand.
When She was 19, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, a 33-year-old married father of two, had an intense,
Whirlwind affair And, just a month before her shock death almost five years ago, Carrie finally
Shared the diary where she detailed every thought and emotion with the world. Today, we're looking
Into the secret she kept for four decades. Her decision thrilled Star Wars fans, who at
Long last found that the bickering intense love story they had seen played out again and again
on screen was, in some small way, true to life. In The Princess Diarist, published November 2016, the 60-year-old Carrie shared her
Memories of their passionate affair. "It was so intense. It was Han and Leia during the
week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend." Although Carrie had previously hinted at some sort of entanglement with Ford.
It was only when her final book was published that she confirmed it.
After stumbling on often angst-ridden journals
That she kept while filming in London, she
Felt the time had come to open up about the formative experience. Finally, enough time has passed to enable her to tell the story. "It wasn't just my secret to keep," she said,
Meaning that Ford was married at the time of their affair to his high school sweetheart.
The two first got together when he rescued her from a rather creepy situation at George Lucas's birthday party during the filming of 1977's Star Wars: A New Hope.
The youngest there and "essentially the only girl," she was surrounded by crew members after arriving at the party.
After teasing her "here's our little princess without her buns" — they decided to get her drunk. Unused to alcohol, Carrie found herself quickly overwhelmed.
It's at this point that Harrison stepped in.
"Pardon me," he told a crew member who claimed Carrie wanted to get a little air, "but the lady doesn't seem to be very aware of what she wants."
Harrison took charge of his young co-star, and after an argument with the other men, Took her out of the party and to his car.
It was here that their fling began, and they first kissed.
The moment was one Carrie admitted to having fantasized about.
After spending their first night together following a birthday party, Fisher was wracked by self-doubt.
"I looked over at Harrison. A hero's face — a few strands of hair fell over his

noble, slightly furrowed brow," she wrote.
"How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me?" She wrote that her co-star was her "number one priority" on set.
However, she clarified that the intensity of her and Ford's
Romance was most likely due to her young age.
Fisher also said having an undiagnosed, at the time, bipolar disorder intensified her self-proclaimed obsession with Ford.
And the kisses continued, along with nights of passion. "Check out those kisses in Empire.
They did not have to use special effects," Carrie wrote of one occasion.
The young Carrie even admitted to fantasizing her lover would give her a
"gold band with diamonds inscribed Carrison.
Even though she knew Ford was already married to someone else, Fisher still dreamed about a future with her co-star.
She imagined a world where he'd "gently and responsibly" leave his wife for her.
In her journal, Fisher said she thought the idea
Might come true after imitating him at a pub. Although Ford is known for his Stoic ways, he burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter at her imitation of him.
Fisher felt so ecstatic that she could make him laugh that she started to believe there was a chance for a romantic future between them.
"He was not only laughing," she writes, "he was laughing that silent and hard laugh reserved for true enthusiasm.
Almost forty years later, I still think of it as one of the greater moments of my life.
My 'love' life." Sadly, Fisher's fantasy never transpired.
Instead, when filming wrapped on Star Wars, Ford returned to his wife and family.
And while their brief affair was passionate, the young Carrie was riddled with insecurities.
"I was shocked by the fact that he fancied me.
I was a very insecure girl and had only had one boyfriend."
At the same time, she said, there was no way he could have known how innocent, she was because she had deliberately painted a false picture of herself.
"He perceived me as this very confident, experienced girl." Carrie wrote. "I don't think he had all the information! And when he got it, he behaved accordingly.
And we stayed together for the remainder of the film." According to Fisher, it was never going to be more than that. She Didn't think it was going to be even that.
One of the questions she repeatedly asked herself in the diaries is whether Ford knew how she felt.

"I don't think, until now, he knew the intensity of my feelings."
As for herself, she said she has probably tried to bury those emotions over the years.
Although their unlikely romance took Fisher by
complete surprise and ran its course once the film wrapped, she remembers the time fondly.
"Harrison is a decent — albeit complicated And frequently silent — guy," she concluded in her book.
"He's always been decent to me, and as far as I know, the only time he
Cheated on any of his three wives was with me. And maybe he didn't think that counted all that much because of how short I am.
Almost a year after her death, Harrison Ford has spoken about his affair with Carrie Fisher for the first time.
In an interview with GQ magazine, Harrison acknowledged the relationship and admitted it was "strange" that she chose to write about it.
When asked if Carrie warned him that he would be featuring in the book, he responded "Um, to a degree. Yes."
However, he seemed reluctant to reveal anything else and when questioned about how he felt about being in the book, he said: "Oh, I don't know.
I don't know. You know, with Carrie's untimely passing, I don't really feel that it's a subject that I want to discuss."
He did, however, admit that he hadn't read it. In 2018, Fisher's brother, Todd, released a memoir about his late sister and mother called My Girls:
A Lifetime With Carrie and Debbie.
Todd wrote that the affair came as a surprise to Reynolds. Reportedly, he said the news upset their mother, which caused Fisher to regret revealing her omance with Ford to the world.
"You're right. I shouldn't have told that story," Fisher said to her mother, according to Todd.
On the Graham Norton show, she explained: "I had no idea it would cause such a sensation, 400,000 news sites picked up on it, and it became a little embarrassing."
The actor also revealed she sent Harrison a copy of the book before it was published and was adamant it paints him in a good light.
Following Carrie's tragic death on December 27, 2016, days after suffering a heart attack aboard a plane, Harrison
Shared his love for "brilliant" Carrie. "Carrie was one-of-a-kind… brilliant, original.
Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely… We will all miss her."
Surprisingly, Fisher said she and Ford never discussed their relationship,
Neither at the time nor afterward In 2015, they were reunited as characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the first time in 30 years.

"On this last film I noticed that two people were flirting, and they had a big age difference like we had, and I pointed it out to him, and he said, Well, I hope it goes well for them.
I think it's the only time we've ever referred to it." However, what emerged over the years was a lasting friendship with Mark Hamill.
When Carrie told him about her affair with Ford, he was shocked. Yep, none of her Star Wars cast members knew about the romance, including Hamill.
And because her feelings for her on-screen lover were so one-sided, Fisher said that she was sorry the affair wasn't with Mark Hamill instead.
"It might've meant something," she wrote.
"Maybe not much, but certainly more." As it turns out, Hamill and Fisher did have a little fling back in the day. Mark later admitted that he and Carrie once made out to get their attraction for each other "out of their system."
But it was more than just a physical attraction. According to Hamill, a part of him genuinely Fell in love with his longtime friend.
"A part of me did fall in love with her," he confessed during a 2017 panel. "And sometimes we sort of wanted to go in that direction," he said, referring to a romantic relationship.
Before her tragic death, Carrie was single, looking to move to Britain, and was more than ready for another man. "I want to find a British professor who will be able to put up with me, so you can put the word out.
Good sense of humor, intelligent, not hideously unattractive, and
Sort of confident without being arrogant." Following Fisher's death, Hamill couldn't get Fisher off his mind for years to come.
And during the panel, he discussed his grief. "Let me tell you when I go to sleep at night, there's never a day so far where I don't think of her," he said.
"And when I think of her she's looking down from the celestial stratosphere with those big brown eyes, that sly smile on her face as she lovingly extends me the middle finger.

"Collected Stories" by Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company at the Highland Park Center Theatre
I recently commented that I love two-people-sitting-in-a-room-talking kind of plays. Collected Stories is one of those plays. But rather than one long conversation, it's a series of conversations over six years in an ever changing teacher/student relationship. Written 20 years ago by Donald Margulies, the play does not feel dated (except in character wardrobes and phone references), but rather is a smart and thoughtful exploration of what it means to be a mentor, a mentee, and a writer of stories, yours or others. I found Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company's production, playing now through March 18, to be entertaining, engaging, and thought-provoking.
We meet Professor Ruth Steiner and her student Lisa in 1990, when Lisa shows up at Ruth's eclectic Greenwich Village apartment (where she literally has to "throw down the key"). Ruth barely remembers Lisa from class, but Lisa is beside herself to be in the home of one of her writing mentors. Ruth advises Lisa on her latest story, "Eating Between Meals," and Lisa applies to be Ruth's assistant. Each subsequent scene jumps forward a year or two, as their relationship progresses to eventually be that of colleagues. "Eating Between Meals" becomes Lisa's first published collection of short stories, and then she begins to work on her first novel (something Ruth never did). But the relationship begins to fracture when it turns out the story she's telling might not be her own.
The success of a two-person play is greatly dependent on the two actors and how well they work together. And by that measure, this play is a great success. MJTC familiar face Maggie Bearmon Pistner and MJTC newcomer (but not #TCTheater newcomer) Ashley Rose Montondo are both wonderful as Ruth and Lisa, respectively. Both are very believable and present, and have a believable and changing chemistry as they navigate this complicated relationship. And both have great character arcs - Maggie shows us a writer at the end of her career, watching her life slip away, and Ashley allows her character to grow from an over-eager and awkward grad student to an accomplished and confident writer. It's a lot of fun to watch these people sit in a room and talk.

And what a room! Michael Hoover has once again designed a set that I would like to move into. Bookshelves so tall I don't know how Ruth can access them; homey furniture that reflects an academic who's lived long in this place; books, tchotchkes, papers, and glassware filling every nook and cranny (properties design by Robert J. Smith); and huge windows that actually open. Lighting designer C. Webster Marsh has created some beautiful effects of light coming through said windows, marking the passage of time, and costume designer Liz Josheff Busa has created authentic feeling '90s wardrobes for the two very different characters without being too obvious about it.
This is a play that takes its time. Director Jennie Ward allows her actors to feel the dialogue without rushing through it. Scene transitions are marked with radio reports of various news events of the '90s (Clarence Thomas hearings, Magic Johnson announces he's HIV positive, Johnny retires), although I do wish they were a little quicker to keep the momentum of the story moving (or maybe I just felt this way because I needed to rush to my second show of the day with no time to spare).
People always say, "write what you know." But what happens when you run out of your own experiences and stories? What if someone else's story sparks something in you that you want to explore? Appropriation of stories is something we talk a lot about in theater. We definitely want to give people voice and opportunity to tell their own stories. But what if an established writer wants to use their voice to shine a light on someone else's story that's not being told? Can they do the research, spend time with the people living the story, and do it justice? It's a complicated issue, and I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that transparency and involvement are key. If Lisa had been up front about what she was writing (which she probably would have done if she truly didn't think there was anything wrong with it), the story of this play and these characters might have turned out differently.
Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company's excellent production of Collected Stories continues at the Highland Park Center Theatre in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul through March 18

Oh man! That's really awesome!! Well done, way better than the trailer I made. Mind if I use it? I'll credit you of course.
Yeah dude!! Absolutely!! I was hoping you'd ask actually. However, I made this version specifically for RMN cause 640x480 videos tend to look better on this site. But yeah, I'll see if I can send you the video files over google drive or something, so you can upload it to the goblin grotto youtube channel or something.
- a mpeg1 version you can probably play in rpgmaker2003, and use to cross promote with crypt of the fungal lord.
and a 60fps version I figured out just now.
But yeah dude, this was a great game! I know it's already been featured and the expansion won a misao this year, but this game really does deserve more attention. GRIMPS feels like, the Metal Slug of arcade christmas puzzle games. Chara Animations are very hard to do in rpgmaker2003, but you were able to add so much charm and personality to these characters and have it move at such a brisk pace - just like Metal Slug!!!
But yeah dude, if I have some free time, I plan on doing a trailer for squeaking of the dead as well. Just for practice. Gryth's music in this was excellent, they feel like long lost tracks to the snes games live-a-live and FF6 respectively.
But yeah, I'll be in touch!
Everyone, please play this game, GRIMPS is like, the Metal Slug of Arcade Puzzle Games.
it's a very short and very cool game.
Super cute, really nicely edited!
Super well done! I played the original version and loved it to death. I need to play the enhanced one sometime.
Also, you should fix my trailer up too.
I've thought about this actually, making a tutorial. But it takes a really long time to submit anything to RMN - which is very discouraging cause I'd rather be out there creating more stuff for you guys, instead of having to worry whether or not a submission went through.
- keep your clips length within 10 secs maximum.
- keep trailer length within 1 minute maximum.
- edit/use a musictrack that will tell you the most about your game in 1 minute.
to learn what players are looking for when describing your game in the shortest amount of time.
Having these loose restrictions in place, will help you to create better trailers, because it will allow you to focus on the more important part of your game and create a more effective pitch to your audience - you are not selling a game, you are selling the experience your game creates in the shortest amount of time.
revise it through community feedback and then submit it as a tutorial to RMN.
stuff like this, and have no one respond to it, when I could be using that time to create more stuff.
That thumbnail is awesome. That trailer is awesome.

John then uses a paint stripper and a heat gun too remove all the old paint. This leaves a wonderful wood finish; unfortunately it is not an even colour.
Putty is added to the bits that are missing making the window panels safer and covering all the gaps in the wood panels.
We then have no choice but too stain the door a slightly darker colour. But once finished and varnished it has been restored to its former glory.

The International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) is an international qualification which enables people to demonstrate their competence in use of computer applications.
The ICDL is the most widely recognized computer qualification in the world. More than 3 million people in over 100 countries have acquired the qualification.


Cuomo's plan, however, would be the first to make up to four years of college tuition-free, not just the first two years at community colleges. It would do this by covering the gap between tuition and existing financial aid (not including mandatory fees) for full-time students from families earning less than $125,000 per year, who have not exceeded their program's designated time to completion.
The ambitious proposal has roused proponents and skeptics to their battle stations. Skeptics have noted that Cuomo's proposal provides no additional support for low-income students whose tuition is already covered by Pell Grants and existing state aid, and have argued that the money would be better spent to augment institutional resources for successful programs and services, like the well-documented ASAP program at CUNY community colleges. Proponents have argued that the simple message of "free college" will grab the attention of prospective students—including low-income students who may not even know about existing aid—in a way that "fill out your FAFSA!" does not, and that reducing prices across the board will have more political durability than programs limited only to poor students.
The contours of this debate suggest a relatively strong consensus around the importance of making new state investments in higher education (or, alternatively, the estimated $163 million price tag is so absurdly low that cost hardly seems an issue—a point I discuss further below). Rather than focusing on whether or how much to invest, the discussion has increasingly focused on whether free tuition is the most effective use of additional funds for higher education.
Specifically, does the marginal dollar spent on higher education have a bigger impact on enrollment and completion if it is used to reduce the sticker prices students face, or instead to increase institutional expenditures that affect the experience they receive once they enroll? Just a few days after Cuomo's announcement, David Deming of Harvard University and Christopher Walters of the University of California at Berkeley presented a new study at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association, using a national database of state funding levels, tuition policies, institutional expenditures, and student outcomes over time to ask precisely this question.
The tradeoff is real: the marginal dollar invested cannot be spent in two places at once. Tellingly, the authors find large effects when state funds are used to increase institutional expenditures but virtually no effect when they are used for across-the-board reductions in sticker price.
The Deming and Walters study is not the only piece of relevant research. But what makes it particularly valuable is that it directly compares the impact of reducing sticker prices versus increasing institutional spending per student—and does so using a rigorous methodology that allows an estimate of causal effects, rather than just correlations between tuition, institutional spending, and student outcomes.
Identifying truly causal effects out of this tangled web of related measures requires some sort of external shock to the system—an outside factor that affects tuition and/or institutional expenditures, but has no independent effect on student enrollment or degree completion. Separating out the independent effects of sticker price versus institutional spending requires an additional factor that influences one of these policy levers, but not the other.
To do this, the authors make clever use of two factors that vary across institutions and over time: budget shocks and tuition caps. Budget shocks are measured by changes in overall state funding for higher education, interacted with a measure of how much each institution generally depends upon such funding for its own budget. By interacting changes in overall state funding with a measure of how much individual institutions generally depend on such funds, the authors are leveraging the fact that even within a given state and year, some institutions are hit much harder by such shocks than others.
When an institution experiences a budget shock, they have two primary tools to use in response: they can modify tuition prices, or they can modify how much they spend per student. To disentangle the effects of these two levers separately, the authors incorporate a second factor: whether or not the institution faces tuition caps (or other limitations on how much tuition can change from year to year). Institutions that can't adjust tuition when they receive a budget shock are more likely to adjust how much they spend on students.
Putting all of this together, the authors find that a 10 percent increase in institutional spending per student leads to a 3 percent increase in enrollment and even larger percentage increases in degree completion one to three years later. In contrast, they find that sticker prices have no measurable effect on enrollment or attainment.
Why? Sticker price reductions may spread benefits too thinly across many students who would have gone to college and graduated regardless. Across-the-board tuition reductions can also distort college choices in ways that actually harm some students: a separate study by Cohodes and Goodman (2014) finds that when a Massachusetts program lowered the cost of public college, students were less likely to enroll in better-funded private and out-of-state colleges, and ultimately less likely to graduate as a result. While Deming and Walters cannot disentangle precisely what it is that institutions do with their money that makes the difference, prior research suggests that targeted financial assistance, improved advising, performance incentives, or some combination of interventions may be effective.
First, establish reasonable cost estimates. When cost is underestimated, it creates the illusion the tradeoffs examined by Deming and Walters are beside the point. The Cuomo administration says their proposal would cost just $163 million per year—at that price, why not do it and argue about institutional funding later? But this strains plausibility: it represents just 3 percent of the state's current $5.5 billion dollar higher education budget, and averages out to less than $300 per full-time equivalent student. The Independent Budget Office of New York City has previously estimated that a similar plan for CUNY community colleges alone would cost between $138 and $232 million per year; Cuomo's statewide plan including four-year colleges could easily cost two to four times that.
Carefully consider the right level for the income cap. Broad-based eligibility need not mean universal eligibility, and a lower income cap would free up resources to invest directly in institutional programs and services that the new study implies better support student success. Existing programs in Tennessee and Oregon limit eligibility to community college enrollees, and the Cuomo administration has already opened the door to a less-than-fully-universal program by suggesting an income cap of $125,000. Beyond conserving costs, lowering the cap further may preserve many of the hoped-for benefits of the program while minimizing potentially harmful side effects: for low income students, the "free" message is more likely to tip the scales towards attending college at all, while for upper income students the same message might simply change where they choose to go.
Pair increased support for students with increased support for institutions. People vote, institutions don't. It is undeniable that "free college" is more appealing as a message than "increase support for public colleges by 3 percent." But if the goal is improving student outcomes over the long term—not just generating short-term excitement—then policymakers may want to tie "free college" proposals to broader investments in higher education that make the college experience better, not just cheaper. This is precisely what the successful ASAP program achieved, nearly doubling graduation rates by not only covering students' direct costs, but also simplifying course scheduling, enhancing academic advising, and providing free public transportation to get students to class.
Moving the "free college" debate back to the state level is a productive shift in more ways than one. State governments have greater capacity to actually enact such plans than does the federal government, and their longstanding direct support for institutions—not just the students who attend them—gives them a closer view of the tradeoffs involved. States can also function as laboratories for experimentation: as long as new programs include mechanisms for evaluation and improvement, then even an imperfect policy can represent a step in the right direction.
 For additional details of how the plan would work, see the official website (https://www.ny.gov/programs/tuition-free-degree-program-excelsior-scholarship) and resulting news coverage (e.g., http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/New-York-Free-Tuition-Plan-Governor-Andrew-Cuomo-College-SUNY-CUNY-409845535.html).
 Focusing on public, non-selective institutions between 1990 and 2013, the authors use institution-level data on enrollments, degree completions, tuition prices, total revenues, and expenditures from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), and augment this with data on how much state legislatures appropriate for higher education each year. The IPEDS is a national database covering all institutions that enroll federal student aid recipients (postsecondary institutions not in this database are primarily trade schools offering credentials below the associate's degree level). Appropriations data come from an annual survey jointly administered by the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) and the Center for the Study of Education Policy at Illinois State University.
 This study is not the first to examine the causal impact of tuition costs or of institutional resources on college enrollment and completion. For reviews of the research on strategies to improve college access and completion, see Deming and Dynarski (2009) and Page and Scott-Clayton (2016). Most of that prior research suggests that both factors matter. But because of variations in method, sample, and context from study to study, the previous body of literature has not provided a decisive answer regarding which strategy, at scale, has the biggest impact per dollar. This ambiguity leaves the door open for politicians to imply that we don't really have to choose, and to prioritize whatever they prefer.
 Enrollments and students' family backgrounds may affect tuition and institutional resources just as tuition and institutional resources affect enrollments and student outcomes. Economic conditions may independently affect all of the above, making these variables move together even in the absence of any causal relationship. And tuition revenue is a direct input into institutional resources, making it hard to separate out the effect of one versus the other.
 For simplicity, I use "state funding" here to refer to state and local appropriations; that is, the money that flows directly from state and local governments to institutions. Changes in state funding alone would be a problematic measure, because such changes correlate with broader economic conditions that may independently affect enrollment and completion. Because states must maintain balanced budgets, state appropriations for higher education tend to fall when the economy (and therefore tax revenues) are weak. But enrollments also tend to rise when the economy is weak.
 Specifically, they interact a per-capita measure of overall state appropriations (which varies by year, but is fixed across institutions within the same state) with the proportion of total institutional revenues that comes from appropriations (which is measured in 1990 and fixed over time, but varies across institutions).
 They use a two-stage-least-squares (2SLS) regression, with the budget shock and tuition cap measures as the instrumenting variables, to compute these effects.

 For reviews of the research on strategies to improve college access and completion, see Deming and Dynarski (2009) and Page and Scott-Clayton (2016). For evidence on the ASAP program, which combines several elements, see http://www.mdrc.org/publication/doubling-graduation-rates.
 Indeed, a study by Carruthers and Fox (2015) of the Tennessee Promise program, which makes community college tuition-free for eligible students, found large effects on enrollment and credit completion despite the fact that many students didn't receive much additional support beyond the financial aid they were already receiving. However, the Tennessee program also provided college coaching, a feature which is not incorporated into the New York proposal.
 Total state appropriations taken from State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) database: http://www.sheeo.org/sites/default/files/Unadjusted_Nominal_Data_FY15.xlsx. Given over 567,000 students enroll in SUNY and CUNY institutions each year, this represents less than $300 per student, or only about $350 per full-time student. It is unclear how an average of less than $300 per student would be sufficient to cover the gaps between tuition and existing financial aid, even given the program's limitations. Currently, families with income near the NY state median ($60,000) qualify for approximately $2,500 in state and federal grants, well below typical tuition charges around $6,400 for four-year and $4,400 for community colleges in New York.
 See http://www.ibo.nyc.ny.us/iboreports/free-cuny-community-college-tuition.pdf. My own rough calculations, assuming 460,000 full time students split equally between two and four-year colleges, with two-thirds of these within the required "on-time" degree timeframe, with an income distribution roughly approximating the overall state income distribution (such that approximately 85% of students would be income-eligible), and accounting for estimated Pell and TAP eligibility, suggests that Cuomo's proposal could easily cost closer to $482 million.


As my Blogging for Good continues, this week I'll focus on the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. It's a private, nonprofit organization that collects and distributes donated food to more than 500 nonprofit partner agencies in six Central Florida counties: Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia.
I remember every year as a youth in both the Cub Scout and Boy Scout participating in the Scouting for Food program. We collect tons of food from our surrounding areas for the Second Harvest Food Bank, filling semi trucks full of donated food. It was always rewarding knowing that this food was going to needy families in our area. I always make sure to clear out my pantry or buy some extra items to donate when that time comes around.
Is Hunger really a problem in Central Florida?
Yes, last year we distributed more than 33 million pounds of grocery product, the equivalent of more than 21 million meals.
Approximately 1 in 5 of our population—732,000 people—needed food assistance in Central Florida last year.
Share the story of Second Harvest Food Bank with the community by sharing this post.

HTML Goodies : Beyond HTML : DHTML/Layers
Creating Layers on Your Web Pages with Divs
By Bradley Jones
When creating a web page, you can create layers using the HTML div tag. A layer can be a block of HTML that you can be manipulated independently from other blocks of HTML on a page. For example, you could create a background layer of an image and then place text on top of it in one or more layers. You could then use JavaScript to manipulate the layers. With these layers you can manipulate the content of each of the layers you create in any manner you want.
To create layers, you use the HTML div tag as mentioned. The div tab by itself doesn't do anything to the content it contains. By itself, all it does is group a chunk of HTML and allow you to then manipulate that content through other attributes. For example, you could create separate groups of code within div tags as shown in Listing 1.
Listing 1: Adding div tags to a listing

This is my web page with an image and some text!

ONE

TWO

End of the page!

If you display the code in listing 1 in your browser, you'll see that the div tags don't have any impact on how the HTML is displayed on the page. As shown in figure 1, the page renders the code as if the divs were not there.
Figure 1: Rendering a basic div tag.
While the div tag can be used for any type of grouping, you should not use it when there are other tags that would be better. For example, some of the HTML tags such as
, <address>, or .
Styling Your Layers
While the div tag can be used to separate the code as shown in listing 1, the real power of layers is when you add attributes to the div tags and then manipulate each div block independently with CSS and JavaScript. In listing 2 you'll see that each div tag has been given a style attribute which manipulates the content.
Listing 2: Adding style to your div tags
.DivStyle

TWO

You can see in figure 2 that the output from Listing 2 has blocks that are styled differently through attributes on the div tag. While the styles are applied directly to attributes, you could also apply a class or ID to each div tag and use CSS to apply the look and feel.
Figure 2: Styled HTML via the div tag
Layering with div Tags
While the listing 2 presented different blocks being manipulated with formatting, the idea of layers implies moving things around on the page as well as putting such blocks on top of each other. This can be done using the position attribute. For positioning, you can set things to an absolute position or a relative position. We'll cover absolute positioning to take control of your layers!
Using Absolute Positioning
Absolute positioning allows you to state specifically where you want the block of HTML in your div tag to appear. This positioning is based upon a coordinate system, where 0,0 is the upper left corner of the parent element that contains your div tag.
When positioning elements, you can set the top and the left positions using the top and left attributes. You can also control the width and height of the area the block will use with the width and height attributes! If you don't specify the width and height, then the div tag will default like any other HTML tag to using the space needed.
In Listing 3, you can see the previous listing has been modified so that many of the div tags have absolute positioning. You can see the results in Figure 3.
Listing 3: Using absolute positioning in a div

<div style="font-size:50px; background-color: orange;

TWO

Figure 3: The div blocks are positioned absolutely, but…
You might think that there is a problem with the rendering because the "ONE" and "TWO" text can no longer be seen. The text for those two div tags were displayed; however, they were rendered before the image, which ended up on top of them. You can fix this by controlling the order of the layers.
Setting the Layers
As you saw in listing 3, blocks can be set on top of each other. If you put an image on top of text, you'll likely not be able to see that text. If you put text on top of an image, then you will likely see both. You can control which block is on top (or higher in a stack) using the z-index property. Setting the z-index to a higher number will move a block towards the top of the stack. By default, the current element is given a z-index of 0.
In Listing 3, the text and image were displayed without a z-index being specified. In Listing 4, a z-index has been added in order to control the display.
Listing 4: Setting the z-index
position:absolute; top: 100; left: 100;
z-index: 2" >
<div style="position:absolute; top: 100; left: 100;
Figure 4: Using the z-index
You can see in this listing that the order of the image was set to zero. Zero is the default order. If two elements have the same z-index, then they will be rendered in the order they would normally be rendered on the page. You can also have a negative z-index. That can be used to render an element below the current item.
Nested div Layers
You should note that if a div is nested within another element, then the absolute positioning will be based on the parent element's position and not the page. The div elements in Listing 4 are all within the div that is style "DivStyle" near the top. As such, the positioning is relative to where that div is displayed. In listing 5, the absolute positioning of the DivStyle is moved to 10, 100. When you run Listing 5, you'll see that not only does the main div move down to that location, but all the embedded div positions move relative to the change as well.
Listing 5: Absolute positioning within an element
position: absolute; top: 100; left:50
Figure 5: Nested absolute positioning
Cleaning it up
You might have noticed a few things are still not right with the listing. For example, the "ONE" text is still not seen. This is because it's relative position is the same as the div for the "TWO" text. You can adjust the positioning to show both text items.
You might have also noticed that the "End of Page" text only appeared at the end of the page with the first two listings. When items are rendered in absolute positions, they are shifted out of the normal flow the page uses for rendering. In the case of this listing, the "ONE" text, "TWO" text, and image are all placed in absolute positions. This shifts them out of the normal order, which in turn moves the "End of the page" text as the second line.
This article scratches the surface in showing you how you can use absolute positioning to create layers with blocks of HTML code. You also saw how to control which content is in the higher layers. You can download the listings and images from this article from here, and then play around with the positions and order!

WASHINGTON, FEB 14 — A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that Paul Manafort, U.S. President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, breached his plea agreement by intentionally lying to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the FBI and the grand jury.
Manafort "intentionally made multiple false statements" concerning matters related to Mueller's probe into the alleged Russia meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections, said Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
At a closed-door hearing, the judge said there was a "preponderance" of evidence that Manafort lied on three different topics, including his communications with his former business partner Konstantin Kilimnik, according to local media reports.
The ruling voids the federal government's obligations under Manafort's plea deal to offer him leniency in exchange for his cooperation in the Mueller probe. It also means that Manafort will not be credited for his cooperation with prosecutors.
The charges against Manafort largely stem from his time working for a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine years before the 2016 U.S. elections. They do not directly address any alleged collusion between Trump associates or officials and the Russian government, which the Mueller team has been investigating since May 2017.
Manafort, aged 69, was a veteran Republican lobbyist. He joined Trump's campaign team in March 2016 and spent three months as Trump's campaign chairman until mid-August of that year. He was convicted in a Virginia federal court trial on charges of tax and bank fraud last year and pleaded guilty in Washington D.C. on others.
