Stolen valor allegations in Rock Island's federal court
Got this in my in-box from the feds today. It's out of our circulation area so I'll keep tabs on it and let you know when it's finished, one way or the other. Here's a copy of the indictment. And below is a portion of the press release that was issued today by the U.S. Attorney's office.
Remember, Jones is innocent until proven guilty and the indictment as well as the press release are merely allegations, not proof. That comes later at a trial or during a plea hearing. Again, remember, innocent until proven guilty.
Rock Island, Ill. –A Geneseo, Ill., man, William R. Jones, appeared in federal court this afternoon charged with theft of government funds and making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to support payment of disability benefits. U.S. District Judge Sara Darrow set the case for trial on Aug. 1, 2016. The indictment, returned in May by the grand jury, remained sealed pending Jones' surrender for today's scheduled court appearance. Judge Darrow ordered that Jones be released on bond with conditions of release, including surrender of Jones' gun safe key.
The indictment alleges that Jones, 66, of the 700 block of Willow Drive, made false statements claiming that he served in Vietnam in the 1970s when in fact, Jones never served in Vietnam.
According to the indictment, in July 2013, Jones submitted a form containing false information to the office of U.S. Senator Richard J. Durbin to support his claim for veterans disability benefits. The form indicated that Jones had served in combat in Vietnam in 1972; that he was assigned to Special Operations in Vietnam; and that he was shot down in enemy territory and rescued three weeks later by U.S. Marines. In fact, according to the indictment, Jones never served in Vietnam.
In May 2015, on two occasions, to support his request to start veterans disability benefits on an earlier date, Jones allegedly made false statements to employees of Veterans Affairs as follows: that he had an updated military form, a fabricated document Jones allegedly drafted and procured to deceive the Department of Veterans Affairs, that reflected his combat medals; that he was assigned to 10th Special Operations in Vietnam; that he was assigned to conduct drug interdiction missions in the Golden Triangle area of Southeast Asia, and that he was wounded by shrapnel caused by a mortar round while he was a crewman on a Spectre Gunship. In fact, as Jones knew, he was never assigned to any military unit in Vietnam and never served in Vietnam.
If convicted for theft of government funds from December 2014 to December 2015 (one count), the maximum statutory penalty is 10 years in prison; for each count of making false statements (three counts), the maximum penalty is five years in prison. Both offenses carry fines of up to $250,000.

Happy Veterans Day
I hope all veterans ate a free meal today, enjoy the thanks of a gracious nation and I hope that civilians (of which I am one) understand this isn't Memorial Day. I have spent the past two days surrounded by veterans and active-duty service members. There was the 240th birthday of the Marine Corps and then today. It was a cold, blustery day and well, the parade wasn't as populated as I would have hoped but the people who were there really got into it. i took my two kids and they seemed to like it. Biggest hit other than thrown candy was the motorcycles. We went to the ceremony afterwards and my old friend, Thomas Maher, a Vietnam vet who served two tours with the Marines, was up on the podium talking. First off, I love Tom. I love Tom as he doesn't BS. You know where you stand with Tom. There's no one more passionate about vets and making sure they get what they need than Tom. Props to him. Check out a snippet of his speech. It's not what you would expect from a Veterans Day event. It's caught in the middle and I had to stop after a while but you get the idea.
[youtube="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5uPYkxOPq0″]
It got me to thinking about the growing divide between the civilian world and the military world. It's old news. I know. Essays have been written, stories published. Hell, I'll bet there are conferences on the topic.
But it is a concern, at least to me. And it's a concern that we are still at work and really, no one notices. This is largely a product of the all-volunteer service which I know is a better deal. We have a more professional fighting force, it's cheaper, smaller and in theory, better. But as a result, more than 99 percent of Americans don't serve at all. That's not right.
In part, that's because a very small number of Americans — fewer than one percent — actually serve in the military. And a decreasing number of Americans have any relatives in the military, in no small part because many recruits themselves come from military families with a generational tradition.
Most of us don't know veterans. It's amazing. And those who are veterans shouldn't have to put on a hat or a shirt to advertise the fact. we shouldn't have Facebook profile picture day. Oh, i'll be blasted for these thoughts as well, I am not a veteran and never claimed to be. And no, military service isn't for everyone. The nation needs its writers, its doctors, its ditch diggers and its peaceniks to be a well-rounded society. But we need some appreciation. A draft will never work again but we should have some level of national service. We need something so that a parade in Downtown Peoria isn't so sparsely populated. We need to make sure our vets have proper health coverage, good jobs and the benefits they were promised. And if we can't afford it, fine. Then stop promising them.
We don't need cheering sections at football games and we don't need free tickets to sporting events. We don't need bogus "thanks for your service." Most guys and gals I know who served don't need that. They want respect, a job, health care from a properly run VA and they want to be treated like anyone else. But that's hard when most of us have no idea what they have gone through.
And that's why I enjoyed what Tom Maher had to say. He's outspoken, not the most PC person but he said what a lot of people were thinking. He'll never win a popularity contest but his words are important. Atta boy Tom.
And Happy Veterans Day to all who served and who will serve in the future from a grateful person. Without the American military, it's doubtful my family or any of my relatives would be around to be celebrating, so thanks.

Peoria County Board Members and Elected Officials have also been invited. Afternoon coffee and desserts will be provided.
During the Open House, the general public may view and cast a vote in the Veterans Day Student Art Contest.

It's that time of year again, when eateries throw open their doors for veterans and those still serving in the military as a way of saying thanks. And it's the time when the blog likes to post a list of places that you can go find out about such things. Here's the link. A big thanks to the Peoria County Veterans Assistance Commission which does the heavy lifting for us each year to do this list.
And remember, Veterans Day is the holiday to remember those who are still living and who are in service. Memorial Day is the holiday to honor those who lost their lives while in service to our nation.

703 F. 2d 1067 - Pearrow v. National Life and Accident Insurance Company Usa
703 F2d 1067 Pearrow v. National Life and Accident Insurance Company Usa
Freddie Pauline PEARROW, Appellant,
NATIONAL LIFE AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY, d/b/a Opryland
USA, Appellee.
Eighth Circuit.
Submitted April 8, 1983.
Decided April 12, 1983.
Charles O. Pearrow, P.A., Bald Knob, Ark., for appellant.
Barber, McCaskill, Amsler, Jones & Hale, Little Rock, Ark., for appellee.
Before HEANEY, McMILLIAN and ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
McMILLIAN, Circuit Judge.
On April 27, 1979, plaintiff Freddie Pearrow slipped and fell on the floor of the Hospitality Suite at Opryland USA in Nashville, Tennessee. The fall resulted in a broken arm. Pearrow, a resident of Arkansas, sued defendant National Life and Accident Insurance Co. (National), alleging that National owned and operated Opryland and that National's employees at Opryland had negligently waxed the floor, as a result of which Pearrow had fallen and broken her arm. National moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, and the district court1 granted the motion. For reversal Pearrow argues that the district court had jurisdiction because (1) National has transacted business in Arkansas; and (2) National has appointed the Arkansas Commission of Insurance as its agents for service of process. We affirm.
In order for a court to exercise personal jurisdiction over a foreign corporation, that corporation must have "minimum contacts" with the forum state. International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 66 S.Ct. 154, 90 L.Ed. 95 (1945). National is registered with the Arkansas Secretary of State as an insurer transacting business and is listed in the Little Rock phone directory. We are willing to assume arguendo that these contacts would be sufficient to meet the requirements of the due process clause. Cf. Weinberg v. Colonial Williamsburg, Inc., 215 F.Supp. 633 (E.D.N.Y.1963). However, the Arkansas long arm statute imposes a further condition: the cause of action against the foreign corporation must have arisen out of the corporation's transaction of business within the state. Martin v. Kelley Electric Co., 371 F.Supp. 1225, 1227-28 (E.D.Ark.1974); Ark.Stat.Ann. Sec. 27-2502.
In Martin, Senior Judge Henley, then Chief Judge of the Eastern District of Arkansas, held that the Arkansas long arm statute required that the plaintiff's injuries must arise from the defendant's Arkansas activities before jurisdiction can be had. 371 F.Supp. at 1227. The plaintiff in Martin, an Arkansas resident, was injured in Missouri by equipment manufactured by the defendant in South Dakota. The defendant had sold other equipment in Arkansas. Judge Henley held that while the sale of equipment in Arkansas would satisfy due process and constitute transacting business, those sales had nothing to do with the plaintiff's injury. Id. at 1228. Because there was no connection between the transaction of business in Arkansas and the cause of action, the complaint was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Id. at 1229.
In this case, National conducts insurance business in Arkansas. Clearly, however, Pearrow's arm injury in Tennessee has nothing to do with National's insurance business in Arkansas. National has also, according to Pearrow's complaint, sent brochures into Arkansas soliciting Pearrow to visit Opryland.2 As a result, Pearrow alleges she went to Opryland where she was injured. This connection is too tenuous. Pearrow's cause of action is for negligence, and it cannot be said that the negligence "arose out of" the solicitation in Arkansas. See Jeanway Industries v. Knudson Manufacturing Co., 533 F.Supp. 678, 682 (W.D.Ark.1981); Krone v. AMI, Inc., 367 F.Supp. 1141, 1143 (E.D.Ark.1973). Because Pearrow's cause of action did not arise out of National's transaction of business in Arkansas, the Arkansas long arm statute does not confer personal jurisdiction over National.
Pearrow also argues that because National appointed the Arkansas Commissioner of Insurance as its agent for service of process, National has subjected itself to the jurisdiction of the Arkansas courts. Appointment of the Commissioner of Insurance is a condition imposed under Arkansas law on any foreign insurance company conducting insurance business in Arkansas. Ark.Stat.Ann. Sec. 66-2218.3 To the extent Sec. 66-2218 can be read as jurisdictional rather than as a method of serving process,4 it does not apply to this case. That section can be read, at its broadest, to cover only causes of action arising out of the insurance business, New York Fire & Marine Underwriters, Inc. v. Colvin, 241 Ark. 1019, 411 S.W.2d 657 (1967), or other transactions in Arkansas, American Casualty Co. v. Lea, 56 Ark. 539, 20 S.W. 416 (1892). As noted above, Pearrow's negligence cause of action has nothing to do with National's insurance business or any act of National in Arkansas.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
The Honorable William R. Overton, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas
National seems to argue that it did not solicit Pearrow's visit, but rather that Opryland USA solicited Pearrow's visit. The relationship between the two entities is not clear from the record, and we assume for purposes of this appeal that National and Opryland are the same entity
Section 66-2218 provides in part:
Service of process--Commissioner as process agent.--(1) Each foreign insurer applying for a certificate of authority to transact business in Arkansas and every domestic reciprocal insurer shall file with the Commissioner an appointment of the Commissioner and his successor's [successors] in office, on a form as furnished by the Commissioner, as its attorney to receive service of legal process issued against it in this State. The appointment shall be irrevocable, shall bind the insurer and any successor in interest or to the assets or liabilities of the insurer, and shall remain in effect as long as there is outstanding in Arkansas any obligations or liability of the insurer resulting from its transactions therein.
We express no opinion on the propriety of service of process under Sec. 66-2218 in a federal court proceeding where other methods of service are available. Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(d)(3)

Jerry Reese says Mathias Kiwanuka's brother in 'stable' condition after crash
Updated: Apr. 01, 2019, 2:48 p.m. | Published: Jun. 01, 2010, 6:51 p.m.
By Mike Garafolo/The Star-Ledger
Star-Ledger File PhotoThe brother of Giants defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka is in "stable" condition following a motorcycle crash, according to Giants general manager Jerry Reese.
RYE, N.Y. – On Friday, Mathias Kiwanuka and his brother, Benedict,
were involved in a motorcycle accident
in Indianapolis in which Mathias was uninjured but Benedict was severely hurt and in critical condition after being thrown about 100 feet off his bike.
Monday, the first update on Benedict Kiwanuka came from Giants general manager Jerry Reese, who said the brother of the Giants' defensive end is in "stable" condition.
"He probably has a long road back," Reese said Monday of the 32-year-old Benedict, who suffered a serious arm injury in the accident. "But everything looked like it was going to work out for him. It sounds like (Benedict) is going to be okay."
Reese, who spoke before teeing off in the 19th Annual Giants Foundation Golf Outing at Westchester Country Club, said he was in contact with Mathias Kiwanuka shortly after Friday's incident upon learning of the accident from members of the Colts' organization. Reese said the team helped coordinate treatment for Benedict but that no physical treatment was needed for Mathias, only emotional support.
"Sounds like he was very shaken, obviously," Reese said. "(Benedict's injuries) sounded pretty severe."
Mathias Kiwanuka is expected to return to organized team activities this week. And from the sound of things, he's very lucky to be doing so, especially since police believe neither brother was wearing a helmet. (There's no word as to whether either Kiwanuka has been cited for speeding or any other violations.)
There's nothing in a standard NFL contract that explicitly states players are not allowed to be riding motorcycles. Reese can only hope common sense will govern the players.
"Obviously, we'd like for guys to be careful," Reese said. "But I'm going to walk out here on the golf course and somebody could hit me between the eyes with a golf ball."
"We ask them to be careful and be responsible if you're riding a bike," he continued. "I'm not sure what was happening. I don't know if they were drag racing or just riding a leisure ride. I'm not sure what the details on that were. We like for guys to be careful, but it's a dangerous world."
Coach Tom Coughlin hoped for the best for Benedict but reserved any other comment until he has the chance to speak to Kiwanuka.
Late last week, former Giants LB Antonio Pierce said during a shot with NFL Network he believes Coughlin is "on the hot seat." To be fair, he said "everyone is on the hot seat," but the focus was shifted toward Coughlin because, well, it's always the coach's head people seem to want on a platter.
But after a decade and a half as a head coach, including the last six years here in the biggest market in the league, Coughlin said such comments don't even register with him.
"Not really," Coughlin said. "I don't know what he said or why he said it or what his intent was by any means. But it's a one-year circumstance for everybody. I don't care if you just won the Super Bowl. You're expected to come right back and perform at the highest level. And of course, in this market, you're always going to be subject to that kind of scrutiny. My goals, my expectations, what I demand of myself, what I demand of our team, really is internally driven and has nothing to do with outside."
Said Reese, "I didn't think it was inflammatory in any kind of way. It could be taken out of context. You could spin it any way you want to spin it, but I didn't think he was being malicious in any kind of way. I think he was just saying everybody's on the hot seat. You work in the National Football League, you're on the hot seat. There are no (free) passes."
A few interesting football-related notes:
Coughlin said this spring "is not a normal offseason" for the team. Asked what he meant by that statement, Coughlin replied, "We're all disappointed with the way the last one ended. Quite frankly, it's a disappointment, which is a kind word to all of us. It's something that we certainly don't want to have any part of."
On how the spring has progressed, Coughlin said, "We're advancing. We continue to add more and more to the plate of the rookies just to test them and see how much they can comprehend. For our veteran guys, they're pretty serious, they know what this is all about. … This is an opportunity for us to work hard, to come together as a team, to make sure everybody's mind is right and focused and lead up to the break prior to training camp. I think we're making good progress that way."
Reese said a few players have expressed excitement about new defensive coordinator Perry Fewell and his system. The one he mentioned by name was DT Barry Cofield, "who came to me and said, 'I feel good about my role in this defense.' I think guys are going to feel good about what they're doing. He's going to be solid, he's going to be aggressive. You see him at practice, he's got a lot of energy. I think the players like that. … (The defense is) attacking. It's fundamentals. He stresses fundamentals and details. The players like to be held accountable in that way. It should be fun for them."
And finally, what can a coach like Coughlin expect from himself on a golf course when he gets such few opportunities to play the game while keeping a busy professional schedule?
"I come out to enjoy myself, to support the Giants foundation, to try to have a good time with the guys in the group," Coughlin said. "And the first thing I say is, 'Okay who's the scratch golfer here because if obviously if you're playing like this…'"
Coughlin said he'll get competitive on the course (big shocker), so he wants to have a good golfer on his team.
"And once in a while, once in a great while, somebody like me will hit one that the rest of us can play," Coughlin said. "But otherwise, it's just have fun, support the Giants foundation and meet some good guys on the golf course for a great cause."
Coughlin was sandbagging us, I think, because he stepped up to the first tee and hit a low liner through the wind and onto the front left portion of the green.

URSULA VON RYDINGSVARD: INTO HER OWN- In Virtual Theaters Starting June 5
Premieres Friday, May 29, 2020 at Film Forum in New York.
Open June 5, 2020 in the major cities of Los Angeles, Berkeley, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia with more cities to be announced.
URSULA VON RYDINGSVARD: INTO HER OWN is an artistic biography of one of the few women in the world working in monumental sculpture. Von Rydingsvard's work has been featured in the Venice Biennale and is held in the collections of some of the world's great museums, including New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. But she may be best-known for her staggering, triumphant body of work in public spaces – imposing pieces painstakingly crafted with complex surfaces including: a series of early installations reminiscent of wings in what became New York's Battery Park; a monumental yet inviting piece outside Brooklyn's Barclays Center and the stunning "Scientia" at M.I.T. which evokes the power of nature and the firing of brain synapses.
In Daniel Traub's intimate documentary, he goes behind the scenes with von Rydingsvard, as she and her collaborators – cutters, metal-smiths, and others – produce new work, including challenging commissions in copper and bronze. The film also delves into the artist's personal life, and how it has shaped her work
URSULA VON RYDINGSVARD: INTO HER OWN
Born in Poland during the Second World War, she was partly raised in a displaced persons camp and came to the US as a refugee with her nine-person family. Brought up in a blue-collar environment, she became a teacher and then, as a single mother, moved to New York in the 1970s to take up her artistic practice full-time.
Interviews with curators, patrons, family, fellow artists (including luminaries such as artist Sarah Sze and museum director Adam Weinberg), as well as the artist herself, are intertwined with studio visits and behind-the-scenes footage of her mammoth creations being installed. All combine to show how, through sheer talent and determination (and countless planks of cedar), she has become one of the world's greatest artists (and one of a very few women) working in monumental sculpture.
DANIEL TRAUB is a New York-based filmmaker and photographer. He lived in China from 1998 to 2007, working as cinematographer on documentary films for various networks and production companies, including PBS, German television ZDF and Arte. More recently, Traub directed the feature-length Barefoot Artist about Lily Yeh and her collaborative artworks in war-torn communities and Xu Bing: Phoenix about the condition of Chinese migrant laborers.
Traub's photographs have been exhibited internationally, including solo exhibitions at the Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago, Slought Foundation in Philadelphia and the Lianzhou Foto Festival in China. His work can be found in public and private collections, such as The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
The virtual theatrical release of URSULA VON RYDINGSVARD: INTO HER OWN supports local theaters, museums and arts organizations across the U.S. and Canada. Participating organizations receive a branded page and have no overhead costs in these presentations. The ticket price is $9.99 for a 48-hour streaming period. Of the proceeds, 50% benefits the presenting organization.

Q: set destination page in url I have a form. when the user clicks a link on the form , I want to redirect him to the login page and once he logs in , he should be directed back to the form page and not any other page.
How do i achieve this redirection. Is there a way by setting the destination of the url?

A: you have 2 scripts :
Script A with the login form :
    <form id="someId" action="login-action.php?redirect=<?php print(urlencode('http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); ?>" method="post">

In your script B, you check the redirect key in the GET array. If the key exists, you use it to redirect the script :
<?php

if(isset($_GET['redirect'])){

    header('location:'.urldecode($_GET['redirect']));
}

A: You can use header(); to redirect the browser. Here's a quick scenario:
<?php

if (md5($_POST['password']) == $server_password) // You are hashing, right ;)
{
  header('location:www.example.com');
}

?>

Good luck.

A: In the code that redirects to the login page, take the current request URL (with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), urlencode it (using the appropriately named urlencode function), and append it to the URL you redirect to as a query string variable (say something like returnurl).
Then, in the login page, check to see if returnurl is in the query string, and redirect to it if it is.
I don't know PHP too well, but this should get you in the right direction.

I own a small business and I make a gross profit of $1 million dollars a year. Now, I project Obama and his taxes will reduce my profits by $250,000, but I'm not sure.
I'm not even sure how I'll pay the bills. Our family is going to struggle this year on $750,000. What will we ever do? This is the destruction of America!
I'll have to cut back on the golf, my wife will have to cut back on her manicures. My daughter will definitely have to eliminate one of her trips this year, either the one to Cancun, Paris, Australia or Tokyo. We MIGHT be able to scrape up enough money for first-class, we don't want her riding with the gangsters in coach!
Things are so bad, I have to sit in section J of the Pistons games, and not my usual row A seats.
What, all so a bunch of lazy bums, like the ones that used to work for me before I sent their jobs to China, can get health care and an "Obamajob" off my dime?
I haven't been this depressed since Clinton beat Dole in '96!
GEORGE BUSH, WHERE ARE YOU? SAVE US!
Well welcome to the real world! We all have to struggle! But consider yourself blessed you are still better off than some!

Actually, the profit going down by a quarter means no more research to become more "energy efficient",yet billions of dollars are being devoted to that in the Stimulus package. Also, this means that there is less opportunity for growth, and more opportunity for businesses to go under.


Manipulators don't care. At their core, manipulators can be callous liars.
Dr. Phil has seen his fair share of liars and manipulators. For those who like him (including this writer), to watch Dr. Phil – a mental health expert the size of an NFL linebacker – put someone in their place is a thing of beauty.
It takes some serious gall to lie to Dr. Phil. But, liars being liars, manipulators being manipulators, they try to get one over anyways.
They may give the appearance of respectability and sincerity, but this is nothing more than window dressing. Manipulators are skilled and experienced schemers who will conceal their real motive: getting what they want – and at any cost.
The selfish nature of a manipulator is sometimes hard to see until you've become too involved. Again, manipulators are adept schemers; they understand the importance of gaining your trust.
Once they do, their true character reveals itself.
To avoid being duped (and potentially ruined) by a manipulator, it benefits us to understand their psychology.
Manipulators are many things, but dumb isn't usually one of them.
They will quickly drain people's energy in their selfish pursuits; for example, asking for help and advice only to do what they want anyway. Give a manipulator an inch, and they'll take a mile.
When you call them out on their egotistical behavior, they'll act as you were speaking some foreign language.
Your eyes and mind do not deceive you. That manipulative "friend" of yours, on the other hand, is deceiving you.
To be catty in gossip is to be subtly or indirectly insulting. Unsurprisingly, manipulators enjoy engaging in this drivel.
You see, manipulators – aside from being liars – are also cruel, malicious, and narcissistic. These personality traits are particularly evident when they feel someone has 'wronged' them in some way.
Sadly, many people have been victimized from their devious and nasty cattiness.
Not associating with a manipulator is the best course of action. Once you've uncovered their real character, just ignore them. Trust that reasonable people will do the same.
Dr. Brenner goes on to explain that permitting this behavior will likely result in someone being left in a tired and weakened state. If the manipulator detects this, which they probably will, they'll push your boundaries even further.
Don't allow it! Put your foot down! Whether the person is a certifiable manipulator or not is irrelevant – do not tolerate someone who violates your space.
Do you happen to know what counterintelligence is?
Well, to prevent being taken advantage of by a manipulator (or anyone of ill will) requires you to tap into your counterintelligence skills. Manipulators are a crafty enemy – and some will conceal their intentions and their actions smartly.
But if you're observant and patient, you will penetrate their "defenses." And if you do, don't walk – but run the other way – and out of that person's life.
In true narcissistic fashion, manipulative people will seek out any perceived sensibilities and sensitivities. While most others truly admire and respect such personality traits, manipulators see them as a weakness; something to exploit.
As such, they will cater to the goodhearted nature of others, and even reciprocate some benevolent feelings. Kind people may befriend the chameleon, only to – slowly – see them change colors.
Once you see the chameleon begin to change colors, you are better off backing away. Yes, you are a nice person – but this isn't a time for niceties.
For someone so "tough," a manipulator sure is quick to turn into a sheep when their motives are uncovered.
Call a manipulator out on something and odds are they will either play the victim or blame someone. See, manipulators are deluded and egotistical to the point of thinking that nobody is smart enough to keep up with them. Bear in mind that someone, probably multiple people, have already burst their deluded bubble.
Anyways, manipulators have no code of ethics to speak of. Playing victim or blaming someone else is just another way for them to avoid responsibility.

Anna Akimovna Nozadze was my grandmother, a White Russian who fled Russia with her husband and daughters during the Revolution and ended up in Shanghai.
After Hong Kong was liberated, my parents organised for her to come to Hong Kong togther with her daughter Evgeniya.
When I first started speaking I couldn't say Baba Anya, which is Russian for 'Grandmother Anya', and called her Balia, and this name stuck with her for the rest of her life.
Anna Nozadze originally lived at 23 Cameron Road and began giving piano lessons, first to the Russian kids whose parents wanted them to learn, then to other Hong Kong children.
She had annual concerts for her pupils at the Peninsula Hotel and they took place from 1951 to 1965. My mother finally persuaded her that it would be good to retire so she came to live with us in Broadwod Road in 1966 and went down to Perth, Western Australia, in January 1974 with my parents when my father retired.

Review: Dementia 13 (2017) is Not Your Father's Dementia
Mark Krawczyk October 5, 2017 2 likes
Nine years before The Godfather was released, Francis Ford Coppola wrote and directed the horror/thriller Dementia 13. The story includes a scheming widow, an axe-wielding murderer, and a family with dark secrets. Now Director Richard LeMay presents an updated version of Dementia 13 in a remake.
Dementia 13 is about the Haloran family and the events that take place on the anniversary of the death of a young daughter, Kathleen. Every year, family matriarch Gloria Haloran gets together with her adult children, John, Rose, and Billy to mark the anniversary with a ceremony. This year, the group is disrupted by the inclusion of significant others. The daughters have brought their respective husband (Dale) and boyfriend (Kane), and John has brought his new wife Louise, who everyone tolerates but no one likes. Louise has a plan to get a piece of the Haloran fortune and refuses to let anything stand in her way. Gloria seems to be losing her grip on reality, as she is seen constantly talking to her dead daughter. No one else can see Kathleen, but one by one people start to disappear into the woods. As the day moves on things spiral more out of control as the truth about Haloran Manor and the little girl who died there come to light.
Richard LeMay has changed Dementia 13 from a whodunnit film with horror elements to a horror film with whodunnit elements. While he captures the spirit of the original, he has made the story his own.
I enjoyed the increased haunted house feel of Haloran Manor. There are shapes in the shadows moving around, whispers in hallways and even glassware flying through the air. All these elements made the house seem like it was another character in the film. LeMay maintains the mystery of the axe murderer in the woods, just like the first film, but gives a completely different spin on the resolution to that story thread.
In the remake, the character of Louise was given more depth and additional motivations. Ana Isabelle plays a Louise who is far more scheming and evil than the original Louise. Isabelle's performance is solid in every scene she is in and helps sell the idea that she is not a nice person. Gloria is played very convincingly by Julia Campanelli. Her version of Lady Haloran was given a more insane flare than what we had seen in the 1963 movie. While some fans of the original may not like the idea of changing two siblings from sons to daughters, I felt it gave a refreshing dynamic to the family.
Dementia 13 has something for every horror fan. Not only do you get a haunted house story, but also a murder mystery, and a supernatural thriller with a home invasion for good measure. All of these threads move seamlessly from one to the other thanks to the solid direction of Richard LeMay and comes together in a satisfying end.
With all of the original ideas added to this classic story, I wonder if it may not have been better to tweak the script and make an original film. This movie is strongest when it is presenting the new ideas. For instance, one of my favorite scenes in the film involves the caretaker and Billy's boyfriend, Kane. The camera movement and line delivery of the performers helped give weight to the scene and it is a moment that stood out to me. When the film would replicate scenes from the original, I found it less enjoyable. It almost could have been made into a sequel, which I think would make it more receptive to the fans of the first one.
In the end, Dementia 13 is a modern retelling with hair-raising twists and turns that new audiences not familiar with the original will enjoy. I think fans of Francis Ford Coppola will find issue with many of the changes which may turn them off to what is a decent horror film by itself. Dementia 13 (2017) is out in select theaters Oct. 6th and on V.O.D. Oct. 10th .

The greatest horror author of all time in my opinion is the late Richard Laymon who sadly died back in 2001. When I heard about his death, I was so upset, because I had already read about 10 of his books and I thought that it was such a huge loss to the horror writing community.
In Laymon's book, the horror is very real and you hope that it never happens to you. I think this is what scares me so much about his work, while at the same time, I'm fascinated and don't want to leave it alone.
The other night, I decided to re-read Midnight's Lair and already I can't put the book down. At the very beginning of this book, Laymon has included a poem that pretty much sums up the mood of Midnight's Lair.
I went walking in a cave.
Now, I fear, I can't get out.
I'll die in here, I have no doubt.
Here in my tomb of ancient stone.
To journey into midnight's lair.
Kyle Mordock is a horrid, perverted and randy 15yr old who has his eyes on a new tour guide of the family's caverns. He sneaks into her room and gets off on fantasising about her clothes and lying in her bed, but if you think this is bad, his father caught him sneaking out of her room and decided it was time to pass on the family tradition to his son.
He unlocked room 115 to reveal a two way mirror that filled the entire wall. On the other side was a poor lass who had checked into the hotel alone and now she was tied naked to the bed and gagged. Kyle's father escorted the horny Kyle into the room and told him that he had one hour with her.
Kyle is now on the tour in the cavern watching the tour guide Darcy and fantasising about her when suddenly the electrics fail and they're trapped below ground with just a couple of flashlights. Kyle partners up with a young girl as advised by Darcy in order to keep safe, but the poor girl isn't safe.
No one is safe in a Richard Laymon book!
Midnight's Lair is one of my favourite stories to read and as with any of Laymon's books; you really get a feel for all of his characters. You can't believe what you're reading and you can't put the book down, because you need to find out what happens to them.
I often wonder what type of man Richard Laymon was to have such evil and wicked storylines, but it doesn't stop me from reading his work.
I must state though, I have read some of his books that were published after his death and sadly, they're not as exciting as those he published when alive. Still, I wouldn't tell you not to read them.
Why was there never a horror film made based on one of Richard Laymon's books?
Midnight's Lair, Richard Laymon. Bookmark.
I too am a huge fan of Laymon's work.
Several of Laymon's books actually got optioned for the screen, but nothing ever came of it sadly. Well, almost nothing. A group of amateur filmmakers turned "In The Dark" into a film. All things considered, they did a good job with it. It's shot almost entirely in black & white, and sadly they never finished post-production, so there's no soundtrack or dialog rerecording, but it's still a fun way to pass a couple of hours. It was also never officially released, so tracking down a copy might take some doing, but if you're a fan it's a great piece to add to your Laymon collection.
Thanks for posting about the amateur filmmakers film 'The Dark'. I bet it's really good considering my love of black and white.
Isn't it about time the big studio bosses took one of Laymon's creations and turned that into a film rather than all these stupid remakes?
My favourite book ever. I cannot believe this has not been made in to a film, it is perfect !

The Sargent House Museum is a historic house museum located at 49 Middle Street, Gloucester, Massachusetts. The museum is open on weekends from Memorial day to Columbus day, and offers guided tours of the historic home, a small gift shop, and rotating exhibits in its exhibit space.

The Sargent House was built in 1782 for the feminist writer and philosopher Judith Sargent Murray and her first husband, John Stevens, a merchant in the West Indies trade. Judith's second husband, John Murray, the founder of the first Universalist Church in America, also lived in the house.

The home is considered high Georgian because of its symmetrical floor plan, and includes Georgian details in its quoins, windows, cornices, and columns. The central stairway is an unusually fine example of the skill of 18th-century woodworkers. It has an undercut spiral newel, two types of spiral balusters on each step, and a long arched window enclosed by Ionic columns at the landing. This stair was almost purchased by the MET Museum in NY around 1915 for installation their "period rooms." This spurred the former families and friends of the House to preserve it as a museum.

The Museum houses a small but exquisite collection of American decorative arts and furniture. It displays sculpture by Hiram Powers and one of the finest collections of family portraits in the United States by major American artists like Christian Gullager, Thomas Sully, James Frothingham, and Alvan Fisher. It has landscape prints and a painting by Fitz Henry Lane. The Museum owns several Thomas Sheraton pieces of furniture, as well as furniture made in major American furniture centers like Boston, Salem, Newburyport and New Orleans. Artifacts from the life of Judith Sargent Murray such as her dictionary and first edition "The Gleaner" (1798) are also exhibited.

The house has a collection of original works by the painter John Singer Sargent, a descendant of the Sargent family.

Multi-storey warehouses to gain traction globally
As demand for urban industrial space grows, on the back of the e-commerce boom, multi-storey warehouses are the next step in urban logistics.
As demand for urban industrial space grows, on the back of the e-commerce boom, investors and developers are looking at multi-storey warehouses as the next step in urban logistics.
Developers are increasingly moving into key urban centres across the globe as the demand for ever faster delivery of goods increases. In 2017, online sales accounted for 10.2 percent of all retail sales worldwide, according to Statista. This figure is expected to reach 17.5 percent in 2021. Retailers need to be close to their core markets, but land closer to urban development is both costly and scarce, forcing developers to look to the skies.
"Developers are looking at multi-story in core markets with large consumer bases to attract industrial users who want immediate access to their customers for delivery," says Craig Meyer, JLL President of Industrial.
When operating a distribution centre, transportation and labour are key expenses, accounting for as much as 60 percent of operating costs, according to data from JLL. Conversely, real estate represents just 4 percent to 6 percent of costs, making it cheaper to build up than rent a warehouse further from the consumer base.
A disparate global trend
Multi-storey warehouses have existed in the Asia Pacific region for decades, particularly in the more developed markets of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong, where dense populations and limited land availability has made them a necessity.
In the U.S., however, they are a more nascent concept. Logistics developer, Prologis built the country's first multi-storey industrial warehouse in Seattle last year while Goldman Sachs Asset Management PRE and DHPH announced a joint venture to develop a three-storey, 370,000 square-foot institutional grade warehouse and distribution centre in Brooklyn.
"The cost of land-to-building ratio has crossed the economic threshold that allows multi-storey development. Sophisticated capital has recognised this, and has made huge bets to get the first mover advantage in the development cycle of these types of facilities in premium locations," says Meyer.
In January 2019, Bridge Development Partners and DH Property Holdings followed suit, joining forces to acquire an 18-acre site, in Brooklyn. Innovo Property Group is also in the game, having bought a US$75 million, 20-acre development site in the Bronx, which it plans to turn into a two-level warehouse. And it is not just the New York and Seattle markets – developments are also upcoming in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
In Australia, the multi-storey trend is still relatively new, but is also being driven by e-commerce and same day delivery, which has been ramping up demand for industrial space. Two two-storey warehouses are being developed in Botany, home to Australia's biggest seaport. In Europe, multi-storey buildings are more familiar a concept. They were developed in Paris in the 1970s. More recently, Vailog, a SEGRO Group company, completed a ramped warehouse called Paris Air 2, which was leased up immediately. And in the UK, the first multi-storey facility was completed in 2008 by developer Brixton.
According to Meyer, investors, developers, and occupiers will have to keep up with a changing logistics environment as e-commerce continues to grow, and as consumer delivery expectations only increase in densely populated areas.
"Demand for efficient and effective last mile distribution solutions is key. Facilities will take on many different shapes and sizes, and, most certainly, will not all be multi-storey. However, in very large, densely populated centres globally, on-demand consumer trends will require more multi-storey warehouses," says Meyer.

Bruges is a living, working fairy tale. It is the capital city of West Flanders in northern Belgium, is under water and very, very old. Homes built on bridges spanning canals are common in the city. Dehumidifiers must sell at a premium since living spaces are frequently only a few feet above working canals .
We enjoyed following the lollipop tour guides. Theywere uniformly knowledgable of the cities they guided, joining our group for a single city tour and departing at the end. Several paces were offered, easy walkers, us, and strenuous walkers. Our various tours involved quite a lot of walking, easy by Bruges standards, but strenuous by our relaxed lifestyle. After the first trip or so, no one signed up for the more strenuous walking.
Bruges also has a sense of humor.
The city is known for Belgian Chocolate and fresh finger pastries. Fortunately, it is also known for lovely walks and breathtaking engineering interlaced with scenic beauty.
Every canal is ringed with homes, shops and working buildings. Whatever passes for zoning serves to keep the people close to their places of work, ensuring walking and bicycles remain the dominant public transportation.
1579 was a good year for old buildings. This structure has living quarters and a retail shop contained within its well preserved beauty.
Music was everywhere. While the instruments were unusual by United States standards, the classical music they played is well known to us and was, after all, written near where they are playing the sounds. Lovely street band. Tourists and residents gather in the main town square.

Pope Francis waves upon his arrival at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., Tuesday. | AP Photo/Andrew Harnik
Cuomo: Pope Francis is 'purest' pope in my lifetime
By JIMMY VIELKIND
ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo says Pope Francis is the "purest" pontiff he's seen in his lifetime.
"In some ways, ironically, the pope's message isn't even religious. It is so universal, that it is just humanitarian. It's communitarian. It's help one another. Get along with one another, which is universal," Cuomo said in an interview with NY1's Zack Fink.
"The pope is probably in my lifetime the first person who has made it that clear. And the first church official who has spoken to what I believe is the essence of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Without the complications, the bureaucracy, the rules, the sanctions. He is the purest," Cuomo said.
The Democratic governor has gone against church teaching in several key areas, including by supporting same-sex marriage and abortion rights. His father, former governor Mario Cuomo, explained the tension between his support for abortion rights and his Catholic beliefs in a 1984 speech at the University of Notre Dame.
"For me, there is less tension," Gov. Andrew Cuomo told NY1. "My father had a lot of tension with the church. And really, the earlier generation of Catholic politicians had more tension with the church, because the church was trying to say at that time, Zack, 'You should govern as a Catholic.' And my father and many of the other Catholic officials at the time were saying at the time were saying, 'No, I live my life as a Catholic. I govern according to the Constitution, the laws and the oath.'"
Cuomo said Sunday that he expected to meet Francis at some point during his two days in New York City — a "perk" that he said was "really exciting."

Bin joined Newcastle Law School as a Lecturer in January 2016. He previously worked as an associate professor at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics School of Law (Beihang University School of Law) in Beijing, China for eight years.
Bin's doctoral thesis focused on the basic principles of international law, including state sovereignty, state responsibility, the protection of human rights and the use of force in international relations.
Bin has developed a particular interest in the legal issues of international aviation and space law since he started his academic career at Beihang Law School in 2007. He has published a number of high quality journal articles in this regard in Chinese and English languages and has chaired a number of research projects funded by Chinese government. His research topics covered environmental protection in outer space and intellectual property issues in international space station. In view of his expertise in aviation and space law, Bin was invited by Chinese government to be an expert in drafting Chinese relevant legislation, including Civil Airplane Industry Development Regulations(Draft) and Interim Measures on Space Debris Mitigation and Protection(2010) . In 2013, he was awarded China Institute of Space Law Excellence in Research Award.
Bin was the visiting scholar at DePaul University International Aviation Law Institute (U.S) in 2009 and at Newcastle Law School (Australia) in 2012. He was invited by Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to give a lecture on space and national security issues in Canberra in October 2012 to legal officers from that Department, representatives from Royal Australian Air Force, representatives from the U.S Embassy as well as legal scholars from Australia. He has served as a core expert in McGill-funded research project of 'Manual on International Law Applicable to Military Uses of Outer Space (MILAMOS) ' since 2016. Bin is now the General Editor of Newcastle Law Review, the journal of Newcastle Law School.
Bin taught a number of core and elective courses at Beihang Law School, including Public International Law, International Commercial Law and Aviation and Space Law. In 2012, Bin was awarded Beihang University Blue Sky Teaching Star Award and Xifei Outstanding Teaching Award. He is currently the course coordinator of LAWS5032/LAWS6102 Alternative Dispute Resolution, LAWS5036/LAWS6092 Clinicial Legal Externship in China, LAWS6046 International Air and Space Law and LAWS5016 Law Review at Newcastle Law School and also teach into LAWS4012/LAWS6013 Public International Law and LAWS5028/LAWS6097 Competitive Mooting.
Bin served as the Assistant Dean at Beihang Law School from March 2010 to July 2013 with the responsibilities to develop Air and Space law sub-discipline and to supervise the LLM program at the School.
This is a two week intensive clinical legal education placement hosted at Beihang University in Beijing, Peking University in Beijing, Shanghai Jiaotong University in Shanghai and East China University of Political Science and Law in Shanghai. The work integrated placement consists of students attending and participating in legal advice clinics and workshops held at universities, courts and arbitration institutes in China. Further, students attend law firm offices of international law firms based in Beijing and Shanghai and discuss with Chinese and international legal practitioners the cases and areas of law that are conducted by the law firms. The placement also involves students attending seminars and participating in clinical workshops together with Chinese law students and staff regarding the law and legal process in Australia and China. The learning activities include interactive simulated client interviews, court hearings, mediations and negotiations. The project enhances student knowledge of China and its legal system and strengthens partnerships with universities and law firms in China.
Beijing Legal Negotiation Society (BLNS, China) has been working on the translation and introduction of a series of overseas academic works on dispute resolution to China. I have been proofreading one of these translated versions.
Funded by McGill University (Canada) and launched in May 2016, the Manual on International Law Applicable to Military Uses of Outer Space (MILAMOS) Project aims to develop a widely-accepted manual clarifying the fundamental rules applicable to the military use of outer space, in times of peace, in periods of rising tension, and during armed conflict. The resultant manual, targeting academia, governments and international community, clarify the limitations international law places on the threat or use of force in outer space. The project has invited a number of renowned space lawyers around the world to participate in the research and drafting process of the said manual.
