Dan Snyder still hasn't interviewed for NFL's investigation GB
johanna benderArts and Entertainment October 27, 2022
Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder still hasn't been interviewed for the NFL's investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against him.
Former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White was hired in February to conduct the investigation and the NFL has promised to release a written report of the findings. The league has said there's no timeline for White to complete the probe. White also handled the league's investigation into Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross earlier this year.
"I anticipate at some point that it'll be scheduled and she'll meet with him and ask him questions and he'll answer them," Commanders legal counsel John Brownlee said on the AP Pro Football Podcast. "He sat for an 11-hour deposition, as you know, before Congress this summer. (He) did a great job, answered every question. … He's doing his best to cooperate with all of these things that are going on, and we feel confident that once people kind of learn the actual facts, they'll realize that these allegations are not true."
Brownlee indicated Snyder would likely be the last person White would interview for the investigation. The league declined to comment Thursday.
White's current review follows the league's initial independent investigation by attorney Beth Wilkinson's firm commissioned in 2020, which found Washington's workplace culture to be toxic. Snyder and the team were fined $10 million in July 2021, and the league said he turned day-to-day operations over to wife Tanya, but no written report of the findings was released.
Brownlee says Snyder is no longer under any restrictions, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said last week that his status hasn't changed. Tanya Snyder has represented the team at league meetings, including last Tuesday in New York.
"He's under no restrictions from the NFL or anyone else with regard to what he does or what he can do," Brownlee said.
A league spokesman reiterated Thursday that Goodell's comment stands and Snyder's status hasn't changed. Goodell said in August he'll discuss it with Snyder after the investigations are completed and there's a resolution.
Brownlee says the Snyders together made the decision that Tanya should attend the league meetings.
"She's just done a great job and I think he recognizes that," Brownlee said. "I think the other folks within the organization recognize it. I think she enjoys it. And so, this is a really strong team. They've been married for almost 30 years. … They've done everything really together as a team. And so in light of kind of everything that's going on, I think they jointly made the decision that she would take a more prominent role as an owner and represent the team at the league meetings. And, she's really been embraced. It's really been positive. There aren't too many female owners in the league. And so she's one and she's got real strong relationships with many of the owners. And so it's been a real positive for her, for the team, for the league."
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has taken a hard stance against Snyder, saying there's " merit to remove " him as owner based on the allegations. Removing Snyder would be unprecedented and requires 24 votes from the other owners.
"Mr. Irsay has acknowledged that he doesn't have the evidence," Brownlee said. "He's never been briefed on the evidence, whatever evidence exists. And so I think that's important. I'm not sure why he felt compelled to speak about an investigation for which he's not been briefed but that was his choice. We do think that it's important, as the Commissioner noted, to wait and listen to the evidence, evaluate it, look what it says, and then you can make judgments about it."
Earlier this month, ESPN reported, citing anonymous sources, Snyder has hired private investigators and told people he has enough information to expose fellow owners and Goodell.
The Commanders denied the contents of the report, calling it "categorically untrue" and "clearly part of a well-funded, two-year campaign to coerce the sale of the team, which will continue to be unsuccessful."
Snyder addressed the report in a letter to owners.

"That is patently false and intended to erode the trust and goodwill between owners that I take quite seriously," he wrote.
Snyder has owned the team since 1999. He and the organization are currently the subject of ongoing investigations by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
The league's latest investigation came after Tiffani Johnston, who worked for Washington for eight years starting in 2002 as a cheerleader and marketing manager, told the committee in February that Snyder placed his hand on her thigh without her consent at a team dinner, and that he pushed her toward his limousine with his hand on her lower back. She had not previously disclosed those allegations to the media or investigators.
Another former team employee, Jason Friedman, corroborated Johnston's account in a letter to the committee.
"It's our understanding that Ms. Wilkinson offered to interview Ms. Johnston when she was doing her investigation, and she declined," Brownlee said. "The reality is there's just no evidence that ever occurred. All you have is this allegation uncorroborated. No physical evidence, no calendar confirmation, no receipt confirmation. But you have an allegation and it has just spread. It's as if when the media reports it, it's as if it actually happened."

Catholic Liturgy is the official public worship of the Church. We gather as a community in response to God's invitation, to open ourselves to the love of God so that it might change us, both as individuals and as a community.
In the liturgy we meet God in each other, we hear God speak to us when the scripture is proclaimed, we experience Christ as our leader in the ministry of the presider and are united to Christ in the eucharist and other sacramental actions.
We go out from the liturgy to live the love and compassion of God in our world today.
The other official rites of the church: such as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, the Order of Christian Funerals and the Book of Blessings.


Across three evenings pubs in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, the USA, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Austria and South Africa, simultaneously held Pint of Science talks. Four academics from the University of Birmingham took to the stage during this year's festival to speak about unhelpful chimps, mind-reading, consciousness and movement in autism. Our reporter Ella Rhodes was there.
Can chimps really be helpful? Dr Claudio Tennie kicked off the Birmingham 'Beautiful Minds' stream of the festival by examining some claims that have captured the imagination of people across the world. We can see why competition, what Tennie called 'the opposite of helping', has evolved – in the face of limited resources it makes sense to strive for survival. But helping is another matter entirely: why would animals do anything for another at his or her own cost?
Around 10 years ago in a laboratory setting Brian Hare captured video of apparent helping. He had dropped a piece of wood inside a chimp's cage which he couldn't reach, and a chimp grabbed the wood and handed it back. Tennie said that without a control condition, Hare may have over-interpreted this behaviour. He pointed out that captive chimps are often trained to fetch and are rewarded for doing so. Hare was also banging on the side of the cage to get the chimp's attention – the chimp may have fetched the wood to stop the annoying noise.
Professor Ian Apperly set out to convince the audience they were all mind-readers and pointed to proof that we engage all the time with what's in the heads of other people. Autism and schizophrenia may provide us with some clues – both have a deficiency in perspective-taking. Apperly said it is interesting to see where people fit on a continuum of clinical conditions such as these. In one paradigm participants carried out a computer task where they saw a shelving unit and an avatar standing behind it who asks them to move objects around, for example 'Move the biggest hairbrush up'. However, crucially, the avatar cannot see all the shelves so participants have to take her perspective into consideration.
Adults can still make errors on this task, and Apperly has found the high-autism-traits and high-psychosis-traits groups make more errors. Interestingly, people who are high in both do not make as many errors – although Apperly said it's unclear why this happens.
But how do we even do perspective-taking in the first place? People who are very good at the shelf task have better working memory, and it seems to involve executive and inhibitory control. Apperly said that while perspective taking seems to be a slow process, there are some elements of it which are quite speedy. In another paradigm he designed, Apperly flashed up images of a person facing a wall side-on. Dots appeared on the wall in front and behind him, and participants simply had to answer how many dots they could see. However they were much slower at this if there was a dot behind the man – it seems as though people process the man's visual perspective, which slows down the judgement of their own.
Later in the Beautiful Minds section of the Pint of Science Festival, neuroscientist Dr Davinia Fernández-Espejo discussed her work with brain-injured people who, while appearing to be in a vegetative state, actually retain their consciousness [see also Adrian Owen's work, http://tinyurl.com/grla4w5]. The areas in the brain responsible for movement are also involved when we imagine movement so, in an MRI scanner, this can be used to assess consciousness and ask patients simple yes or no questions. Fernández-Espejo explained that in the scanner she asks patients to imagine playing tennis and the corresponding motor regions will be active; she also asks them to imagine walking around a familiar place and assesses the brain areas that are active in this task.
With one patient, who was in a vegetative state for 12 years unable to communicate with those around him, they used the above task to help him to answer questions. Using the activation patterns associated with each imagined movement they could clearly see in which direction he was answering, using this technique to discover that he was without pain and had been enjoying the hockey games his parents had been playing to him.
In another study with patients she found a physical disruption in the fibres connecting the thalamus and motor cortex – explaining the inability these patients have transforming thoughts of movement to actual movement. The damage in these patients lies in connections rather than the whole brain stem. She said she and her team were able to identify a new syndrome, which at first is indistinguishable from a true vegetative state, and she hopes to be able to find something to restore some movement capabilities in these patients.
Dr Jennifer Cook set the scene of her talk by describing how children with autism may have been treated in the 1930s. In those days they would usually be given a diagnosis of 'mental retardation' or 'childhood schizophrenia' and could be sent to asylums. However Hans Asperger, working in Vienna at the time, noticed many of the children he saw were not 'retarded' and did not develop schizophrenia in later life. A group of them showed similar characteristics – were overwhelmed by social situations and used language in an unusual way, they enjoyed logical rules and consistency and patterns. He called it autistic psychopathology.
This symptomology is now well known, and doctors, Cook said, look for similar traits to this day. But how about the body movements of these children? Some work in her own lab required adults with autism and a control group to move their outstretched arm to the left and right horizontally with a flat palm. Each person wore a movement tracker, and Cook saw the control group showed a pattern where they started slowly, sped up in the middle and slowed down towards the end before they changed direction. This helps to minimise the jerk of the movement and keep it relatively smooth throughout the task. But those with autism quickly accelerated their movement then 'slammed on the brakes' before changing direction.
It is unclear why people with autism might move in a jerkier fashion than others. As well as making fine motor tasks trickier, this difference in body movements may affect how people with ASD are perceived in general. As Cook pointed out, movements in a person's body tell us much about how they are feeling or even what they're thinking.
In the 1970s Gunnar Johanssen asked whether it was body movements or facial expressions that told us about emotion. He had actors wear light bulbs on their clothes and filmed them moving in certain ways, as if happy or sad for example. He asked others to guess what emotions they were portraying from the patterns created by the lightbulbs, and people were very accurate. Perhaps people without autism, Cook suggested, find it harder to understand the feelings of people with autism because they move differently to the average person.
In an experiment Cook asked people to move around two triangles on a whiteboard (using magnets underneath the whiteboard) to act out a 'mocking', 'surprising', 'seducing' or 'coaxing' movement from one triangle to another. New participants, without autism, watched the resulting videos and asked them to say on a scale of 1 to 10 how much it portrayed that scenario. When they saw videos made by non-autistic people, they were better at figuring out the scenario or emotion.
Cook ended her fascinating talk with two suggestions: first, if we know a person with autism, we should be aware they may express their emotions differently with their bodies; second, a future direction of her work may be using an Xbox Kinect to train people to move like those with autism, which could potentially give some insight into their feelings.

The global wave of cryptocurrency has engulfed Pakistan as people begin to invest and learn about cryptocurrency. Over the last few years, Pakistan has seen a revolution in crypto-investment with 4.10 per cent of the country's population already in crypto trade and the local financial market is positioned to grow significantly. Chainalysis' 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index has Pakistan ranked in third place globally. Specifically, the on-chain retail value transferred metric used to measure the activity of nonprofessional, individual cryptocurrency users rank Pakistan in the top-10 globally. These rankings highlight the fact that grassroots revolution is taking place as Pakistanis enter the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Earlier in 2021, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa announced plans to build pilot cryptocurrency mining farms. Additionally, at the federal level, a committee was formed to study cryptocurrency regulation. In September 2021, Pakistan's first cryptocurrency trading platform "Rain" was all set to be launched, as arrangements have been completed in this regard. According to the firm's general manager, "Rain's launch in Pakistan is at a pivotal time when the market is growing exponentially and people desperately need a licenced and regulated cryptocurrency trading platform. Our aim is to make cryptocurrency trading super secure, seamless and cost-effective for every current as well as aspiring crypto-trader in the country."
Pakistan's crypto scene
Pakistan has witnessed an increase in trading and mining cryptocurrency, with interest manifesting in thousands of views of related videos on social media and transactions on online exchanges. According to a report by Chainalysis, Pakistan received a little less than USD 1.5 billion in cryptocurrency during 2019-20.
Although cryptocurrency itself is not illegal in Pakistan, the on-and-off ramp connecting the ecosystem to traditional financial institutions comes with challenges. An SBP circular, issued in April 2018, advised "all banks and payment system operators to refrain from processing, trading and promoting in virtual currencies token and not facilitate their account holders to transact in VC and tokens," because of which Pakistani residents are not able to use their bank accounts or online wallets to directly transfer funds to their cryptocurrency exchange accounts. To avoid this restriction, most Pakistani cryptocurrency traders and investors use peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions as a method to fund and withdraw from their exchange account.
Most investors seem to be using Binance, followed by Localbitcoins.com as well as PakCoin, a home-grown cryptocurrency. Another major exchange, Coinbase, is also popular among Pakistanis even though they are not able to use it for trading. Additionally, there is Pakskaters, a platform for PakCoin staking and Adaigi which has a wallet that allows businesses to accept PakCoin payments and convert them into fiat money.
Risks and challenges involved in adopting crypto
While Pakistan is on the path to adopt the concept of cryptocurrencies, there are several challenges and risks involved as the country plans to begin its cryptocurrency journey.
First, the concern from foreign countries and institutions. Several countries including China have expressed their displeasure with the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Similarly, the IMF which is also a large lender to the country does not recommend the adoption of cryptocurrency as legal tenders. Additionally, the FATF has called on the government to better regulate the cryptocurrency industry.
Second, the possibility of forex exiting Pakistan. Given that most of the population in Pakistan is poor and religiously conservative, where gambling is illegal and a stigma, the socio-economic environment does not favour allowing speculation in cryptos. Additionally, there is a policy paranoia about inadvertently leaving a back door open that could lead to forex exiting Pakistan.
Third, the questions of regulation. In 2018, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), imposed a "prohibition" on dealing in virtual currencies for the entities it regulates and "advised" the public to "refrain from indulging in" cryptos. However, the mere issuing of circulars with instructions that prohibit the public as well as the financial sector to trade in virtual currency will not mitigate the need to provide comprehensive regulations. The sector would have to be adequately regulated to counter the potential risks of money laundering, terrorist financing as well as organized crimes associated with cryptocurrency.
Fourth, technological challenges. The key to a successful crypto ecosystem would be when technology and policy work in sync. Thus, to have informed and nuanced policy decisions on cryptos, the digital assets market will have to be customised to meet the economic needs of Pakistanis rather than the convenience of global speculators.

Urue-Offong/Oruko is located in the south east of Nigeria and is a Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State created in September 1991.

Urue-Offong/Oruko is one of the five Oro language speaking Local Government Area bounded in the North West by Okobo, Akwa Ibom, Oron, Akwa Ibom in the North East, bounded in the East by Udung Uko, and in the South East by Mbo, Akwa Ibom and also bounded by Esit Eket in the South West.

History

In September 1991, Urue-Offong/Oruko Local Government Area was carved out of Oron, Akwa Ibom Local Government Area. Urue-Offong/Oruko is made up of six out of the nine clans (Afaha) of the Oron people.

Oruko was the economic capital of the Oron people it was a home to a huge market (Urue Oruko) in the 1800s where several traders from mainly Hausa people, Ilaje, and Igbo people came to sell their goods, an unfortunate event occur where several people died close to Sixty after a huge ancestral tree fell and people died due to stampede in the late 1890s. Again in Urue Oruko, several hundred of Oron people (mostly traders and women) were killed during the Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s. This unfortunate event has been observed in Oron to be the most tragic in the history of the Nigerian Civil War.

Clans and Settlement

Afaha Ubodung clan which is the largest of all the clan now known as Mbodung District consist of twenty one (21) villages and Towns includes;

Abiak Elibi
Anai Okpo

Although very rich in sea-foods, palm oil and farm crops, the area is also rich in crude oil, much wells, it ranks among the richest in crude oil deposits found in Oro, Mbo, Okobo, Oron and Udung Uko. The other sister Local Government Areas in Oro nation are said to have 92, 86, 66 and 39 such wells respectively, even though actual oil exploration is going on in Mbo. The area also has a large deposit of clay and other solid minerals like gravel, fine stones, silica sand, etc.

Kingship

Ancient Urue-Offong/Oruko were governed by each Family head who settles every family issues among the family.

Today Traditionally, the Urue Offong people have one king that rules over the land. He is known as the Ahta Oro. The Ahta has all the Ofong (Ivong or Ifong) afaha and the paramount rulers as members of his traditional rulers council. Some high chiefs (for example, Ikpoto, Akpaha and Okete Okete) are also recognized by the Ahta's council.
The President-General of the Oron Union worldwide is regarded as the administrative head of the Oron nation and second-in-command at the Ahta's traditional rulers council.

Q: How to create install.php including steps like a shopping cart I would like to create an install.php for my tiny cms but i have a lot of questions.
-How to display install.php before the index.php?
-I would like to create steps, like in a shopping cart. The steps are:
    step1: (hi! are you ready? -submit-)
    if step1 is completed->step2:form(database-host-user-pass)->saves config.php and creates the tables
    if step2 is completed->step3:(admin username,admin pass,page title)->insert into admin
    if step3 is completed->step4:the install.php deletes itself.
-Is it possible to do it with one file?
I have most of the code of the steps in a file, the last question is, how to create steps. Do i have to do something with session or with some id-s? How to?

A: There are plenty of ways you could do this.

*

*Why not rename install.php to index.php and then rename index.php to something like begin.php

*And then on your begin.php page you could do a series of divs and only display one of them at a time. When you click the "next" button, div1 would disappear, and div2 would appear. And so on and so forth. I made a jsfiddle that kind of demonstrates this: http://jsfiddle.net/vVsAn/2110/ Note that this assumes you have jquery installed.

*Instead of deleting install.php (which is now index.php) you would put a check at the top of index.php that goes something like this
if (installed == true) {
    //show content
} else {
    //show installer divs
}

A: This is the solution: http://tutsforweb.blogspot.hu/2012/02/php-installation-script.html
I hope, it will be useful to everybody with the same problem.

I have rented many houses on the beach and this one is by far the best I have ever stayed at!
That's awesome, Terry! Thank you for your review and we hope you can find some time to return to The Lookout. We wish you a happy holiday season!
This was the perfect house for our annual girls weekend. Plenty of space to spread out for sleeping. We chose this house because of the flat (almost flat 2 small steps) entry and everything our elderly generation needed on the main floor. The jukebox and pool table were a fun addition and we enjoyed the hot tub. The public access next to us was not an issue. We will most likely look to rent this exact house next year.
Buffie, we're glad that you enjoyed your girls weekend at the Lookout! We look forward to planning your next stay. Thank you so much for your review and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Best house on the beach!
Celebrated my moms 70th with 20 family and friends. It had enough room for all of us, never felt crowded or on top of each other. We spent most of the time downstairs listening to the juke box and playing pool. Wish they had more kit door seating on the lower level would have been nice. We will be back again!
Hello and thank you Amy for your review of your time at The Lookout! We appreciate the constructive feedback too and will forward your idea onto to the Manager of the home! We look forward to your return visit!
Huge home with large open gathering rooms.
Norma we are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the spacious home The Lookout! The owners have provided quite the amenities! Hope you come back and stay again soon!
Very nice home with excellent access to the beach. Very nice indoor arrangement. Very clean and well taken care of.
In our group we had 15 ladies all in the ages of 60 through 70s. With that a lot of the ladies had medical problems and couldnt go up and down the stairs. This house worked out perfect as the main floor held 10 of the ladies that needed to be on first floor, the rest of us loved the downstairs with the jukebox the pool table and we loved the easy access to the beach. Some of the ladies went up in the crows nest and loved it as it was quiet for them to read. The house was very clean we just set up a few extra tables for out sewing. We did have to call for extra silverware as it was set for only 8, one of the employees sent extra over. It was a beautiful day at the coast the sun; making it somewhat hot as there were no shades to pull down, but we just enjoyed the sunshine. Overall it was a great house, nice size, great location and I would recommend this rental service to anyone needing services.
Charlotte we are thrilled that you and the ladies had such a great time at The Lookout. Sounds like it was the perfect home for your group! Come stay again soon!
This was my first experience renting a VRBO so did not know what to expect. There were 15 of us, 10 adults and 5 grandkids from 18 months to 10 years old. The house was spacious and clean. The spiral staircase to the actual LookOut was much higher and steeper than expected by picture so needed a baby gate as well as for the top of the stairs to the basement. The view of the beach was perfect. About 60 stairs down to the beach but nice concrete stairs with railing. The stairs are part of the public access immediately next to the house but was not that busy and not a problem for us at all. Afternoon sun was really hot and there are no window coverings on windows facing the water. Would be nice to have partial shades or something to cut down on the brightness (not that I want to complain about the sunshine we had). It was so nice to have everyone under one roof. This vacation was very important to me and to our family as we have a family member with cancer who is very sick and we All had the best vacation ever. Great house for entertaining grand kids thats for sure!
Diane thank you for your review of The Lookout. It is always great to get the family together for special trip. We are happy to hear that it was the best vacation ever! We appreciate the feedback as well. We have passed your recommendations along to our property services team. We hope you come out the coast again soon!
This house houses a lot of people and has many amenities. We had a few problems such as TV service, internet service, cleanliness of a few linens but these were immediately taken care of when we called Meredith Lodging. Overall, a very nice stay. Be aware that the "beach access" is a public access right in front of the house so it's not very private. It was fine for a short stay.
accommodations were great-there was plenty of room for all 23 of us. beautiful view. Kitchen facilities were wonderful.Plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Because of steep slope for parking, good emergency brakes are necessary.
We were surprised at how large this home was, plenty of room for all 19 of us. We enjoyed the living area downstairs with the pool table, juke box, pinball machines, the beautiful views of the ocean, everything was above our expectation. Two separate living areas was perfect. Plenty of sleeping areas for all our family. The only thing we needed was to be able to cook downstairs but there wasn't a stove. That would have helped us because we did a lot of cooking for our family and it wasn't easy with only one stove. My grandkids are asking when will we be going back! We would love to do it again. Thank you!
As with our last two stays at the Lookout, we thoroughly enjoyed a weekend at the coast. The home is very spacious and comfortable. The location is the greatest for playing on the beach, and the hot tub, pool table, game room, etc. made for another perfect getaway. Our thanks to Meredith Lodging!
We have always loved the Lookout and still enjoy staying there. It is a beautiful view and a lovely home. This year, however, there were a couple of things that we noticed. One was that there was no furniture on the deck and in the past there have always been chairs out there. We could not find them anywhere in the house. The other was that the railing by the front door was falling apart and did not appear safe. Other than those two things we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house very much.
Thank you Gail for your review of The Lookout! We love this house too and so we always appreciate the feedback, especially when it comes to safety! We hope that you can return again soon Gail and stay with us here at the beach!
Perfect place for family gathering and all amenities to keep all ages busy and happy, location, location, location.
Thank you Shirley for reviewing your stay at The Lookout! We are so happy that you enjoyed this beautiful home! Location, location, location! You're right! Don't wait too long to come and stay with us again!
One couldn't ask for more!!!
Thank you Jan for your feedback and review. We appreciate the details you offered and have forwarded your review onto our Maintenance team to troubleshoot the issues you mentioned. We look forward to your return to the beach and hope you all enjoy your summer!
This is a great house for a large party of all ages, we had little ones, teenagers, parents and grandparents. There's pool table, pinball, theater room, play room and of course the beach.
The staff at Meridith is superb. We were all extremely happy with everything.
Hi Marlene! Thanks for your review of The Lookout! We are delighted that you and your family had a wonderful stay, and appreciate your kind words regarding our staff. Nothing makes us happier than knowing that our guests made lasting memories during their stay. Thanks again for your review of The Lookout, and we hope you'll stay with us again the next time you visit the Oregon Coast!
Thank you Diane for reviewing your stay at The Lookout! An annual event at the beach sounds like a great idea! Hope to see you back on the coast sooner than later!
We had a very nice stay at The Lookout for a family get together. The location was great. Wonderful view and easy access to the beach. Plenty of room for our party of 14 and dog.
Hi Anne and thank you for your review! The Lookout is a great home to enjoy and the access to the beach is amazing! We are so glad you enjoyed your time away and were able to bring the pooch too! Come back and see us again soon!
Very enjoyable for our group. Great view and proximity to the beach. Loved the hot tub. Something to do for everyone with long walks on the beach, pool table, pin ball machines and jig saw puzzles. Kitchen was fully equipped. Lots of towels & blankets although the pillows could use secondary sanitary pillow covers.
We are so glad you had a great time! We agree, The Lookout is a wonderful home with amazing views and lots of fun things to do in and around the home. Thank you so much on your feedback as well and we would be happy to pass it along and hope you stay with us again!
Thank you Shelly for your review! The Lookout is a great place to just enjoy, we agree! Good for you for not missing the WiFi so much! But we always try our best to have those amenities up and running for our renters! Take care and we hope to assist you with your next beach vacation rental!
We had a great 4 day stay at The Lookout. This house accommodated everyone in our party very comfortably. We had tons of room & always a lot of things to do. A great house for a large group. The house is a little run down but very comfortable. Nothing fancy. The view was fantastic!!
CONS: The stairs that go down to the beach are public beach access & right outside the front door is public parking. So, 8 feet outside the front door people are walking by looking in the windows. I kept the blinds closed most of the time. The first night we were there a man knocked on the door at 10PM to ask if we could turn out the outside lights because he could not see the stars!! Kinda creepy!! Also, the kitchen could use some new fry pans (there were only 2 & they were awful! I could not use them to cook breakfast. The range in the kitchen needs to be leveled & some new burners.
Other than these things, the house was great!
Thank you James for your review of The Lookout. Gosh, I think that's a first that we've heard of someone knocking on the door asking to turn the lights off!! So sorry about that! Thank you for letting us know about the fry pans and the burners. All of those details are as important to us as they are to you! Especially if you like to cook! We hope you come back and see us soon! I'd say 'we'll leave the light on for you' but that may not be funny in this instance!
Overall, our experience was amazing! The house was great, and had plenty of space for our large group. Was very nice having the bar/pool table and hot tub downstairs for those who stayed up late, while those with kids were able to turn in earlier upstairs. Worth noting that every room has multiple beds, so don't expect a lot of privacy. Only real complaint is that there were balls missing from the pool table and despite multiple calls, were not able to get replacements during our stay. Otherwise, a great experience all around.
We had an absolutely wonderful time on this trip! The house is gorgeous and I would definitely rent it again. It is spacious and perfect for large groups like ours. Amazing views, awesome downstairs with a pool table and juke box. The only downside was the grill. It was a charcoal grill as opposed to a bigger gas grill.
It was our 3rd year at the Lookout. We always have a good family visit.
We enjoyed our stay. 3rd Year.
Thank you Lawrence for reviewing your stay at The Lookout! Glad to hear you returned for your 3rd year and enjoyed your stay! We look forward to your return next year!
Hi Yvette! Fantastic is good! Thank you for reviewing your stay at The Lookout! Enjoy your summer and please let us help you with your next beach vacation rental!
Beautiful house, perfect weather, lovely time with family.Would recommend it to anyone.
Our group reserved the Lookout for a weekend business retreat. The house is beautiful and there was plenty of room for all of us. We loved being right on the beach and sharing meals in the spacious kitchen. The jukebox and pool table added to our fun in between meetings!
Eden, we are so glad to hear that you had a nice business retreat at this gorgeous home! There is plenty of space for groups and beach access is practically right out the front door! We hope to have everyone back on your next getaway!
This is our second stay at The Lookout. The home is perfect for our family of nine adults and nine children, and the location can't be beat with sand and surf just steps away. We will return!
Lydia, thank you for your review. We are so thrilled to hear that you and your family are able to keep returning to The Looout! This is a gorgeous beach home and the views and beach access make this an easy choice on where to stay, we look forward to having you back!
Women's Retreat Always a Treat!
20-22 women from our church use this house annually for our church's Women's Retreat.
It's perfect for all of our needs! The location is amazing!
Thank you for your review! So glad to hear that you are all able to spend time at the beach! The Lookout offers lots of space and is next beach access! We welcome you all back on your next tirp!
Thank you so much to choosing to stay with us! We pride ourselves in resolving any issues that come up quickly and efficiently so as not to disturb your stay. There is many things this home has to offer and it sounds like you used it to its fullest! We look forward to having you again very soon.
Lisa, we are so thrilled to hear that you are able to return to this beautiful vacation home! The Lookout is a gorgeous property and the location and views make spending time here an easy choice! Sounds like you were able to really relax and unwind, we hope to have you back again soon!
Overall we were happy with this home. It had plenty of sleeping options for our big family and a great view and access to the beach just outside the front door. The fireplace on the main floor didn't work and the electric fry pan didn't have the cord so was unusable. Hopefully those two items will be fixed/replaced soon to make this a perfect home for a large gathering!
Patricia, thank you for your review of The Lookout. We are so glad to hear that you had a nice stay, the views from this home are outstanding and the beach access is just steps from the front door! We wished that you would have contacted our office about the fireplace and the frying pan cord so we could have sent maintenance over to help you with these items. We appreciate your feedback and will rectify these issues, we look forward to having you back on your next beach vacation!
Beautiful time great property. Coming back for sure.
Kerry, thank you for your review. We are so glad to hear that you and your group had a nice time at this fantastic property! The Lookout offers fantastic views, lots of space and is next to easy beach access, we look forward to having you stay with us again!
The house was perfect for our family group. The adults and youngsters enjoyed all the activities the house provide. No one was bored. Everyone had privacy too. It was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the ocean and each others company.
Karen, thank you for your review. We are thrilled to hear that this home was a perfect fit you and your family. This home does offer fantastic amenities as well as amazing views and beach access! We hope you can all plan another relaxing beach vacation very soon!
The view from the Lookout was awesome. The house was clean and well furnished. Some of the beds could use some updates, but there were more than needed sleeping spaces and the games and hot tub was a plus. I would very much consider staying there again with a large group. Staff at Meredith Lodging responded very quickly to any questions/needs. The customer service was optimal.
Super awesome house, I and my friends had two happy evening!
Hi Katherine, we are so happy to hear that you had a great time at this gorgeous beach home! We hope you and your friends can return very soon!
We had a wonderful time. Our only problem was the Internet worked the first night but then went down. Called office but it was after hours and the person that answered tried to help but couldn't. We didn't call back after that as we were to busy having fun!
Shelly, what a fun house to have a girl's weekend at! We are thrilled to hear that you and your girlfriends were able to have so much fun at this home! Sorry to hear the internet was giving some trouble but we do have 24 hour maintenance staff available that could have assisted you with this. Glad you all had a fun time and we hope to have you back soon!
We are so glad to hear that you had a good time at this vacation home, we welcome you all back on your next beach vacation!
My coworkers and I had a great time. The house was spacious and loaded with everything we needed. The juke box downstairs was a nice surprise! Also, the location was top notch - hard to beat sunset right on the beach.
This home is full of surprises and fun features! We definitely recommend this home for anyone looking for a spacious and luxurious stay right on the ocean front! Please come back and visit us again soon.
This is the second time we have stayed at the Lookout and it is a great house to stay in, right on the ocean with great access and great location. Over all it is a great house to stay in.
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you and your family had a nice stay at this lovely home, the views and beach access are fantastic! We hope you can all stay with us again soon!
We have an annual family beach vacation of 2-4 days. We have a great family time and visit. People come from all over the country. Our experience was good this year even with the iffy weather.
We are so glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed The Lookout. It is a wonderful beach home and we hope you can all return very soon!
We had a great stay at The Lookout. We were a group of three families with 15 kids (ranging from 5-18). The house was perfect for this kind of situation. There was plenty of room for everyone to have fun and not be on top of each other. The supplies/furnishings in the house were nice, not super luxurious but definitely perfect for a group of families. A few items, like the blenders were a little worse for wear, but nothing that kept us from having a super vacation!
Thank you for the nice review Amy! We are glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at The Lookout, this home does provide lots of space while still feeling comfortable. We look forward to having you and your family back again soon!
We were very disappointed that Lincoln City ordinance only allows five bedrooms in rentals now but we made it work and enjoyed our stay.
We're glad you had a wonderful stay at The Lookout, Ronelle! Thanks for being willing to work with Lincoln City's new vacation rental codes. We hope you'll be able to return to stay with us again soon!
We were able to fit 20 adults into The Lookkout. The large living area allowed us to put on a family talent show. Even if the weather hadn't been perfect, we would have found enough to do inside the house.
Wow, Steve--your family sounds like a lot of fun! How wonderful that The Lookout was the perfect place to stage a reunion, and that it had the amenities you needed in any weather. What a plus that you had perfect weather, too! Thanks for your review, and we look forward to hosting your next time together with family!
We had a fabulous time - the house met our expectations 100% (and we couldn't have asked for better weather) thank you !
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so happy that you all enjoyed your time at The Lookout. It is a fabulous home with an abundance of amenities to suite everyone's wants and needs! We look forward to having you back soon!
We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at The Lookout. Thank you for reporting issues to us so we can get them corrected. We want all of our guests to have a great experience. We appreciate your taking time to leave positive feedback and we hope to have you back again soon!
We had a great time, the house was clean and ready for us .

Tag: wharf
Another legal question
On June 6, 1900 the U.S. Congress passed the Alaska Penal Code which provided for a tax to be collected on certain trades and businesses in Alaska. This tax was to fund local governments in the territory. Mr. Wynn-Johnson represented the Moore Wharf (seen above) which of course preceded the law. He decided to ignore the new law which required a license for the wharf. He was then arrested in 1902 by Marshal Shoup. Wynn-Johnson refused to post bail and instead sued the Marshal and the U.S. Government saying that his incarceration was unconstitutional based on the fact that the license and taxes were also unconstitutional. His reasoning was that the U.S. Government did not impose such taxes anywhere else and that Alaska was singled out. Further that such tax and license laws in Alaska were in place already. Section 8 article 1 of the U.S.Constitution reads:
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and pay for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises, shall be uniform throughout the United States."
In 1904 the U.S. Supreme court ruled that the law was legal and that 1/2 of the money collected from licenses and taxes would go to local schools. The remainder would go into the U.S. Treasury.
Presumably Wynn-Johnson did alright because he then sold his house and moved to the Alkali Ranch in British Columbia.
The lawyer that represented him, George C. Heard, died not long after, on June 6, 1906 in Skagway. Below is the link to the legel language of the law, if anyone cares to interpret it better than I have, please be my guest!

Emory Valentine
Mr. Valentine was born in 1858 in Dowagiac, Michigan. He first opened a jewelery store in 1895 in Juneau. He would have built a jewelry store in Skagway, but he faced competition from Herman Kirmse, a well-known jeweler. In 1897 he built and was co-owner of the Sylvestor-Valentine wharf where Soapy and Frank Reid were shot. He also owned the Princess Saloon in Skagway in 1898. He died on this day, September 14, 1930 at the age of 72 in Juneau and is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery.

Obamacare's Cadillac Tax Hits the College Campus
By John S. Rosenberg, The Fiscal Times
Higher education and its comfortable inhabitants on campus have long been hotbeds of support for Obama and Obamacare. Now, along with business and labor, i.e., the other inhabitants of what passes for the real world, they are about to become victims of one of its high "Cadillac" tax on generous health plans.
In 2009 President Obama gave assurances that he did not want any tax on health insurance plans he considered wasteful or too generous to affect average Americans. In one of his now famous talks broadcast on CNN, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, "one of the men who helped draft the legislation, [explains] that is not only precisely what will happen - but that was the intention of the tax."
Related: How Obamacare Will Impact Your Taxes
Politico notes that "a mix of business groups and labor unions" are arm in arm — and up in arms — fighting to kill this tax. Unnoted in the article is that higher education also will be hit especially hard. The dramatic impact of the "Cadillac" tax on higher education has been noticed before, such as on this site ("Obamacare Hits Adjuncts Hard") and Megan McArdle's delicious putdown, "Whining Harvard Professors Discover Obamacare."
Now, as the scheduled 2018 implementation of the tax gets closer and more and more colleges begin to adjust their health plans to deal with it, awareness of the impending pain is beginning to spread. In New Jersey, four of the state's 11 public colleges and universities have dropped student health insurance, and three of Washington State's 6 public institutions have done so as well. Here are a few more tax induced changes:
• George Washington University: "It no longer offers its most generous plan as to avoid paying the tax."
• University of Virginia: "Major changes are coming to the University of Virginia health plan. With U.VA facing rising health care costs, spiking expenses of high-dollar claims and looming fees and taxes connected with federal health reform…."
• William Patterson University: Dropping health insurance.
• University of Minnesota: "One of the state's largest employers is proposing to scale back its employee health plans to avoid a massive tax penalty under the new federal health care law."
• Ohio University: "Ohio University employees might see their health care deductibles double and premiums rise because of a provision of the Affordable Care Act that taxes so-called 'Cadillac' health plans, officials have said."
Related: Thousands to Get Booted from Obamacare Plans
In a mailing sent to "Dear Colleagues" last month, Ohio University provided a detailed explanation of the need for its changes:
"The university's health care costs are projected to increase by as much as 8 percent per year, or $4 to $5 million annually, for the next several years. Additionally, in 2018, the ACA will begin taxing high cost Cadillac health plans where health plan costs exceed $10,200 per year for individuals or $27,500 per year for families. As currently structured, the university's PPO health plans are on pace to exceed these levels and subject Ohio University to the Cadillac plan tax."
As more and more colleges and universities cut their benefits in order to make their health plans "sustainable," I suspect the new campus fetish of sustainability will take a serious hit.

← Great Valley High School to honor its war dead
Finding a century-old tale of a tragic soldier →
They sacrificed their dreams
More than a hundred people came to Great Valley High School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, on November 11, Veterans Day, for the dedication of a memorial to the school's war dead. It was an event that had special meaning for me.
All four honorees graduated in the mid-1960s and died in the Vietnam War. Their names are on the memorial: Gary D. Jefferis, Robert J. Nixon, Lewis R. Valentine and Nicholas L. Venditti, who was my cousin and the subject of my book Tragedy at Chu Lai https://tragedyatchulai.com/.
I was unable to attend the ceremony, but later John Herr of the memorial committee sent me photos, and Brian Peterman, a 1968 graduate and retired Coast Guard vice admiral https://www.commandcg.com/dpeterman.html, emailed me the text of his speech. It brought tears to my eyes. With his permission, I'm posting it here:
Great Valley Memorial Dedication
On this Veterans Day 2018, I'd like to start by thanking all the veterans present for your service and sacrifice. The focus of today, however, is to honor four Great Valley graduates and veterans who cannot stand with us to be honored:
Robert Nixon
Gary Jefferis
Nick Venditti
Lewis Valentine
Let's look back in time to the early 1960s. These four men were among the first to attend the new Great Valley High School. It was a turbulent time in our nation's history, fighting an unpopular war. The Patriot was chosen as the new school's mascot, a square-jawed, steely-eyed Continental soldier carrying a musket and ready to go into battle. After these four men graduated, their country called them to serve and they answered that call, perhaps inspired by their high school mascot.
These patriots made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their nation, their community and to us. They never had the opportunity to make lifetime achievements that might have earned them a place as a distinguished alumnus because they died so young. But if the spirit of the Great Valley Patriot is the measure of what a distinguished alumnus should be, then these four Patriots are by far the elite of distinguished alumni.
I'd like to thank the Great Valley Foundation, the Great Valley Alumni Association, the Great Valley School District and all the people who donated their time, talent and treasure to erect this fitting memorial to the men who are most worthy of recognition as elite Patriots.
To the families of our fallen heroes, there are no words to adequately express our deep appreciation for the sacrifice you made. On behalf of a grateful nation and community, we place this monument here today so that the sacrifice made by your loved one will never be forgotten.
And to the students of Great Valley High School, this monument is also for you. It is a reminder that the freedoms you enjoy come at a great cost. These four Patriots and many other heroes have given their lives so that you can enjoy these freedoms. Cherish them and use them responsibly. These men walked the same halls of Great Valley High School as you do now, and they had the same dreams of a future of success and family. They sacrificed those dreams for you.
You use the Great Valley Patriot as a mascot to inspire enthusiasm for your sports and academic teams. I suggest you think of the Patriot as an inspiration for even more and ask yourselves how you can serve your nation and community. Come out here often and be reminded of the sacrifice made by these Great Valley Patriots and continue to honor these heroes just as we are doing today.
A man never dies until he is forgotten. That will never happen here.

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 has displayed changes in the congressional legislative institution in the form of acts of surveillance and the enactment of investigative powers in the United States. Increase in executive authority was the response prior to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that, with great haste, was intended to strengthen the national defense by expanding the authority of the law enforcement and intelligence units of the country, so as to monitor even private communication and personal information.
This has confined the citizens to a limited type of liberty that has put them in the jurisdiction of the government even when it concerns personal data, such as contacts, time of work, type of work, time with the family, or conversations with other people. Expanding the power of the investigative authority has put limitation in the area of the individual rights for the purpose of securing the country against terrorist attacks and malicious activities from those of the enemies. As of now, U. S. A. is one of the most aimed countries when talking about terrorist attacks.
With the ongoing war in the Middle East, it is surely justifiable that the government practices such laws and prerequisites in order to assure the safety of the citizens. This security need absolutely justifies the consequent limitation that is put in individual rights because it cannot be guaranteed, as of this moment, that there will not be terrorist attacks against the country for the coming years or months. The government had a rightful aim and reason for approving such a law, and that is to ensure the safety of the citizens inside and outside the country.
Once the government is confident that the safety of the citizens would not be put into jeopardy, then that is the time that the act could be discarded, since it is not needed anymore. However, as of now, this act is significant to our safety. If the last terrorist attack happened in 2001, then it should retain in our law until 2011 at least, if there will be no future attempts to attack the U. S. prior to this incident. Otherwise, it should retain in the land until such time that we can be confident that terrorist attacks would not supersede again.

Face of Jules' oxygen dome therapy is a highly-effective facial treatment that will thoroughly refresh and reinvigorate your skin. During this treatment, our esthetician places a dome-shaped mask on the client's face, providing complete coverage from top to bottom and side to side. This dome is in turn connected to a machine that takes in outside air and through its process creates pure oxygen (90% high concentration) as well as anion. It is this refined oxygen and anion that naturally stimulate skin cell regeneration.
There are many important benefits to having oxygen dome therapy at Face of Jules. The purified oxygen involved in the treatment efficiently regenerates decaying skin cells and reduces detrimental lactic acid. Anion, termed a "vitamin in the air" for its own benefits, helps promote blood circulation, activate cells and give the immune system a very helpful boost. Acting together within the dome mask, the oxygen and anion will revitalize your skin, improving fine wrinkles and other signs of aging. When this comfortable facial therapy is over, you're left with youthful, glowing skin.
To schedule an oxygen dome treatment, signature facial, or any of our other exceptional skin care treatments, please give us a call now at (310) 770-8730.
