MORE MEDDLING FROM ED WESTBROOK …
By FITSNEWS || Eight days after she took the job, new Charleston School of Law (CSOL) president Maryann Jones has resigned – citing the bullying tactics of the school's minority director Ed Westbrook.
In an email obtained by FITSNews sent late Thursday to school leaders, Jones claimed she could no longer deal with the "level of vitriol" being directed at her by Westbrook, who has been working for months to sabotage the proposed sale of the school.
"It is with true regret that I inform you that I will not sign a contract to assume the presidency of CSOL," Jones wrote in the email. "I truly only wanted to help."
Jones' decision came in the wake of her receipt of a threatening letter from Westbrook – one in which he announced his intentions to publicly oppose her presidency unless she came out against the school's proposed sale to InfiLaw.
Ironically, Westbrook voted last week to hire Jones.
"You are here on a short leash," Westbrook snaps at Jones in the letter – likening her to a female dog.
Later in the letter Westbrook tells Jones "since you have seen fit to meet with faculty and students and give them your views without talking to me, I feel it incumbent upon me to let faculty and students know my position on your initial actions."
One female CSOL student told FITS Westbrook's comments had crossed the line.
"He basically called her a bitch," the student said.
The student added Westbrook "is a bully" – one who "needs to be exposed."
"Most people think he's a saint," the student said. "I wish you could expose him and show the world he's no white knight."
Westbrook – as FITS readers will recall – has been working for months to sabotage the sale of CSOL to InfiLaw, a company which operates three other private law schools across the country. His rumored goal? To force the school into a position where one state lawmaker's plan to subsidize the school with tax dollars can be revived.
Westbrook's ongoing meddling – which includes the formation of a "non-profit" he says could run the school – is reportedly all about bringing CSOL to its knees financially so that a state takeover is the only option.
In fact, multiple state lawmakers with knowledge of the situation tell FITS they have been approached by Westbrook regarding the bailout plan.
In addition to his efforts in Charleston, Westbrook has also been stoking opposition to the CSOL-InfiLaw sale before the S.C. Commission on Higher Education (CHE) – which has been blocking the school from receiving a license (in effect standing in the way of a private business transaction).
We've said it before and we'll say it again: State government has no business blocking this sale, period. A majority of CSOL's owners have decided to sell the school to InfiLaw – and they should be allowed to do so. Especially now that a key accreditation panel of the American Bar Association (ABA) has approved a request from the law school to transfer its licenses to InfiLaw, as FITS exclusively reported earlier this month.
"The ABA decision was a major defeat for Westbrook," a source familiar with the ongoing drama tells FITS. "That's why he's stepping up his efforts now – more aggressively targeting anyone who doesn't oppose the sale."
In fact, some observers questioned whether Westbrook's meddling to create a toxic environment at the school had breached his "care and loyalty" obligation as a director of the law school.
"He's moving from permissible objections to actionable meddling," the source said.
We agree …
For the good of taxpayers (to say nothing of the school and its students), Westbrook needs to stand down.

You are aware, aren't you, that both male and female dogs are leashed and that both might be subject to a long or short leash?
The controversy is of little interest to me, but you nor the complainants have made no basis for assuming that the vernacular was sexist.

Inferring that someone is a female dog when they told they are on a short leash is a big big stretch. Mrs. Jones sounds like Rev. Al or Jesse when they throw out the race card ad naseum.

Jackie Chiles November 21, 2014 at 10:16 am
This statement lacks a fundamental understanding for how Infinilaw schools are funded. Infinlaw receives $213 million PER YEAR in student loan dollars from the Federal Government- the vast majority of which will never be repaid because graduates from these schools will never make enough to repay what they owe.
It would literally be cheaper for the taxpayers for the state to buy CSOL and run it at an profit with minimal use of student loans than it would be for Infinlaw to buy it. Fits is either ignoring this fact for some reason or is being willfully blind to the scam this company is running on the US taxpayers.
The Truth November 21, 2014 at 10:21 am
This is an inane comment, Ed. (Jackie Chiles is Ed Westbrook, obviously). You are assuming that none of the InfiLaw graduates pay back their loans when the default rate is less than 2% (look it up, Ed).
(never heard of IBR, PAYE, PSLF, all of which require students to pay 10-15% of their income towards their student loans for 10-20 years with the balance forgiven at the end of the payment period, thus making it appear that graduates are paying back what they owe when, in reality, they will only repay a fraction of the loans they took out)
so you admit that the InfiLaw and CSOL graduates are complying with the terms of the loan repayment. QED
(Doesn't realize that PAYE and PSLF are not included in the promissory note the students signed when they took out the loans and those programs could be repealed at any time as is evidenced by Obama's proposal in 2014 to limit PSLF forgiveness to $50k)
On top of that, let's just look at the numbers themselves.
The average law graduate makes between 40 and 65k at graduation. Obviously the mouth breathing dimwitted retards that attend Charlotte, Arizona Summit, and Florida Coastal, are not your average law graduate, but we'll use those figures for the sake of argument.
The average Florida Coastal graduate has $175,000 in student loan debt when he graduates. The average is $184,000 at Arizona Summit and $155,000 at Charlotte. Thus, the average Infinlaw student graduates with $171,333 in student loan debt.
A 10 year payment plan on that debt with the standard 7% interest on student loans is $1,989 a month. Someone making $40k a year has around $2,500 a month in Net income. Someone making $65k a year has around $3700 in net income. It's literally impossible for someone making those salaries to pay that kind of debt. On a 25 year payment plan, the payment is $1,210 a month. Better, but not a payment most graduates from these schools could afford.
Maybe 5% of the graduates from Infinlaw will ever be able to fully repay their student loan debts. Infinlaw is the worst type of huckster because it dupes people who'd be better off making $40k working in an office job with no student loan debt believe they'll somehow beat the odds become the next Clarence Darrow or Atticus Finch if only they borrowed $170k in non-dischargeable loans and gave it to Infinlaw.
So your assumption is that incomes of graduates do not rise as their career progresses? Even though all the data shows that attorneys achieve a sharp income trajectory (like most professions)….
Keep trying, Ed.
Again, let's assume your assumption that all lawyers income improves over time is accurate (which, of course, it is not).
36.9% of the 2013 Charlotte law class were working in long term legal jobs. 9.7% of the Charlotte law class were working in government/nonprofit jobs (i.e. jobs that do not rise very much over a career).
45.5% of Arizona summit's 2013 graduating class was working in a long term legal job. 11.8% of its class was working for government/nonprofit jobs.
30.8% of Florida Coastal's 2013 graduating class was working in a long term legal job. 10.1% of its class was working for government/nonprofit jobs.
In essence, you're telling me that Infinlaw grads will repay their student loans because lawyers make more money as their career progresses all the while ignoring the fact that THE MAJORITY OF GRADUATES FROM THESE LAW SCHOOLS WILL NEVER BECOME A LAWYER.
That's right folks, we, the taxpayers are loaning people $171k on average to go to law schools where they've got, at best, a 40% chance of actually getting a job as a lawyer.

"It would literally be cheaper for the taxpayers for the state to buy CSOL and run it at an profit with minimal use of student loans"
No. It would literally be impossible for the state to pay for CSOL and run it at a profit with minimal use of student loans.

Figures a Charlotte Law grad would have nothing better to do on New Years Eve than posting on Fitsnews. Guess when you're unemployed, your friends have deserted you, and you're too poor to go out, posting on the internet is all you have. Post away brother. Unlike you, I have nothing to hide.
It really does not cost very much to run a law school. You need some adjunct instructors, some classrooms, and that's about it.
The Truth November 21, 2014 at 2:01 pm
Read the ABA standards. There are intense requirements for credentialed FT faculty, student/faculty ratios, library, bar pass, student support, etc. How's the smell, jackie?
Smells like a scam to make law school cost more while continuing to provide substandard education. We all know the bar passage rates are meaningless otherwise Infinlaw schools would've lost their accreditation LONG ago (see Infinlaw school bar passage rates that are below 60%).
The ABA dropped the FT faculty rule and library rule. Student support won't be an issue when you're charging less than $15k per year per student, which many schools are able to get by on.
Let's say you have 180 students per class x 3 classes. You have 1 full time professor per 30 students. The cost to the school for that professor is $200k per year including salary, benefits, taxes, etc. That's about $3.6 m per year in faculty expense. Let's say the school spends another $3.6 m per year on everything else like administration, electricity, rent, etc. That's $7.2m per year expenses divided by 540 students and you have $13,300 per year in tuition- roughly the same amount that Georgia State Law charges- with much better outcomes than Infinlaw graduates are having I might add.
That's nowhere near the $41,000 PER YEAR charged by Infinlaw schools. Then again, a non-profit law school doesn't need those sweet sweet student loan dollars to put into the shareholders' pockets either does it?
Infinlaw is nothing more than a snake oil salesman except instead of getting stuck with a $20 bottle of rubbing alcohol and mineral water, it's victims are stuck with $171k in non-dischargable student loan debt and ruined lives.

CSOL student November 21, 2014 at 10:29 am
The real question about Mr. Westbrook's "plan" is whether it is backed by money. The school is in financial distress and will not survive without significant backing. (I think it needs more than $20 million from what I heard). Has Mr. Westbrook committed these funds? Is there more to his plan than just talk? At least InfiLaw has committed to supporting the school.
We should probably listen to the guy paying a school around $130k for less than a 50% chance of getting a job as a lawyer.
REAL CSOL Student November 21, 2014 at 11:09 am
Calling bullshit on this "CSOL Student" – real students thank Westbrook is a saint as he has been fighting tooth and nail to save the school, in the best interest of the students. I'm willing to bet this alleged "Csol student" is actually the writer of the article.
CSOL Advocate November 21, 2014 at 11:19 am
If there is such a legitimate issue with Charleston School of Law's financial situation, WHY are the administration and owners refusing to adopt a policy regarding budget transparency? Yesterday, (11/20) students protested the lack of a budget transparency publicly. Saying, "I think it needs more than $20 million from what I heard) is called heresay. Any "REAL" "CSOL Student" wouldn't use language that could be so easily contradicted. (Generally) the students and faculty oppose the sale to Infilaw due to the school's main, founding principal: pro bono populi. Infilaw is worried about revenue, revenue, revenue. The institutions they take control of see a lower average LSAT score among incoming students, a lower student retention rate and lower bar passage rate. Look at the facts.
I agree that we should look at the facts. I just don't think that we know all the facts at this point, but I think it is much worse than we know. I am also not sure that I trust Westbrook because he took massive sums of cash out of the school just like the other owners. But I agree with you completely….let's look at the facts.
CSOL Student November 21, 2014 at 12:03 pm
While Mr. Westbrook did take profit out of the school, he is the only founder to offer many times to put it back in. He is the only founder to not only talk, but listen to the students, alumni, faculty, and staff. I trust Westbrook and his intentions. While many things are uncertain and I agree, we don't have all the facts, I am sticking to what I do know. I know I'd follow Mr. Westbrook over the other two founders and Infilaw any day!
You may be right but I always look at what people do, not what they say. Let's see the facts as they unfold

Boogeyman November 21, 2014 at 10:50 am
If anyone has breached their "care and loyalty" obligations to the school, it's Carr and Kosko. They are the ones who refuse to fund a going concern, even in the face of the financial disaster they created by draining the school's coffers, and instead persist in the lie that InfiLaw is the only option absent state takeover. What institution in its right mind, given the climate of higher education funding and nanny state oversight by the state legislature, would willingly hitch its star to that train wreck? The state takeover is a boogeyman created by those who stand to make money off of the deal with InfiLaw, nothing more.
Philip Branton November 21, 2014 at 10:50 am
LOL….LOL……
Come on now guys……..this is a classic setup article…! Just look at PUBLIC schools. Are they not actual PAWNS for real estate developers and building contractors. What is the REAL value in a school system..? Geez, build a new school and what happens to the cheap land around it..? So…..what game is really being conned. If this school is SOLD…..who controls the "vision" of the CSOL..? If the school is taken over by the "state"….how does MAYOR Riley determine were a better location would be for the school to move too and sell its present location..? The CSOL board members are not FOOLS….they are playing the fence and will still eat "Humpty's egg"..!!
Either way……the students are getting "winked"…!! Most of the faculty will be winked too..!
I have never met the alleged "bully" in this article; but I hope some lawyers and students at the CSOL are learning all about 3D printing "jurisdiction"..!! Its gonna be great when a 3D print out of the board members are used in a court of Fitsnews law…!!!

Having now read the letter from Westbrook, which was cited by this tabloid agency as bullying. I truly wonder if the editor (probably not a real editor but fat guy on a couch collecting payments from Kosco and Carr) actually read the letter they cite. This article is nothing but sensationalism written by a mouthpiece interested in pleasing the wallets that pay them, i.e. Kosco and Carr
Nah, they aren't being paid by them, they are just USC grads who HAAAATE CSOL.
Oh, bullshit. That's a common expression. It's funny how fast conservatives go all politically correct.

Logical consistency.
Don't worry guys, Infinlaw would never treat a Dean or President in this manner. No, it would just barge into a presentation being made by a finalist to become Dean at Florida Coastal to the faculty at the school and demand he end the presentation and leave immediately or security would be called because his presentation contained some negative statistics about Infinlaw schools.
http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/08/the-law-school-scam/375069/
"But midway through Frakt's statistics-filled PowerPoint presentation, he was interrupted when Dennis Stone, the school's president, entered the room. (Stone had been alerted to Frakt's comments by e-mails and texts from faculty members in the room.) Stone told Frakt to stop "insulting" the faculty, and asked him to leave. Startled, Frakt requested that anyone in the room who felt insulted raise his or her hand. When no one did, he attempted to resume his presentation. But Stone told him that if he didn't leave the premises immediately, security would be called. Frakt packed up his belongings and left."
CSOL Student! November 21, 2014 at 6:03 pm
This article is so full of bias opinion it is unbelievable. Jones was not bullied into resignation. Jones has direct affiliation with the infilaw. She consulted for them down at Florida Coastal. Additionally, Westbrook voted for two reasons: 1. If he did not vote for her, it did not matter anyways as he was already out numbered. and 2. He most likely hoped that by voting for her it would kind of sever the bad blood, in order to further create a better relationship with her. Why? Because a better relationship with her would have been the right thing to do for the wellbeing of the law school. However, upon Jones' meeting with faculty Westbrook clearly recognized that Jones did not have the best interest of our school at heart, that she had the best interest of Infilaw at heart. Although the "unknown" author of this article attempted to discredit CSOL and Westbrook, I hope readers will do their own homework and see through this extremely biased and poorly written article.
Fact Check November 24, 2014 at 2:37 am
This article is laughable and full quotes used out of sequence to create complete lies….
YOU DECIDE:
Take a look for yourself:
Read the actual quotes, and YOU DECIDE
(I will highlight 2, however there are about 5-6. Just read a real newspaper article on this story with actual quotes, and you can easily pick out the others)
************ Lie #1 **************
Jones actually said she could no longer deal with the "level of vitriol" from all sides of the debate, but Fitsnews rewords it to make it seem like Westbrook was the bully:
***Fitsnews Quote Claim #1:
"Jones claimed she could no longer deal with the "level of vitriol" being directed at her by Westbrook."
***Actual Full Quote #1:
"The level of vitriol, with all sides making me a lightning rod for an unfortunate situation that was not of my making, makes this truly a situation that I am unwilling at this stage of my life to undertake."
******************* Lie #2 *************************
Westbrook did not demand Jones oppose infilaw, but rather to simply remain objective….
**Fitsnews writes #2:
Westbrook – "announced his intentions to publicly oppose her presidency unless she came out against the school's proposed sale to InfiLaw."
**Actual Quotes #2:
Westbrook was surprised that in her 1st meeting with faculty, Jones told faculty members that InfiLaw was the "only viable option for the future of CSOL and that the faculty must bear the brunt of budget cuts." …. Westbrook wrote "Although you admitted to having recently consulted for InfiLaw on its Florida Coast dean search, you promised to sever those ties, which I took as a profession of independence," .. "You have lost an important opportunity to express a well-considered opinion by rushing to express a hasty one," …..
"I understand you are in a difficult position. You are here on a short leash. Everyone understands that if you do not adopt the views of the two directors favoring InfiLaw, you will not be here after three months. But you are, at least for now, temporary president of the LLC, and I am one of the three LLC owners. … I regret you have gotten off on this foot. I had hoped for better from you."
****Almost ALL faculty and students support Westbrook…. He is the only 1 of the 3 board members standing up for the position of the students and professors.
****** Students and faculty (among others) are certainly sending letters to CHE providing reasons and urging them not to approved the sale. Infilaw is applying similar tactics, but theirs involve just outright trying to pressure CHE members to vote their way.
****** Infilaw & the 2 board member who support them, will not allow a budget to be released, even to professors on the Budget committee. (Despite recieving over 80% of their revenues from risk free federal loans. …..the taxpayer and government cover the risk of default, not Infilaw/CSOL.
******Infilaw also outright threatened many Professors on various occasions, that if they do not right letters to the CHE supporting the sale, they may not have a job if the sale goes through.
********CSOL student, faculty, & WESTBROOK, want the school to go to private, Non-Profit status….
NOT, State supported, non profit status.
********CSOL continues to operate in the black each semester, and has over 11 Million in funds that were forced into mandatory reserve accounts, due to the $6 Million Loan that Carr/Kosko made from Infilaw last year (to make McCullough & Sander $3 Million each).
Westbrook strongly urged them not to make such a disastrous transaction. This Money will be released from reserves when this money is either returned by the founder or repaid to Infilaw.
***********Infilaw & Carr/Kosko continue a strategy of trying to make the school look like its in financial ruin (by withdrawing Many Millions of Dollars, Paying Infilaw hundred of thosands of dollars in consulting fees, hiring new presidents etc) to help their argument to the CHE.
******************CHECK THE FACT FOR YOUSELF******************************
I strongly urge everyone to honestly check the facts for themselves, and not rely on Fitsnews to character and misquote the story for you.

InfiLaw is just a DIPLOMA MILL!
It should never get control of any college, much less a Law School!


This story is about family, about spending time together, about life being short and other good feelings. My dad used to love fishing and skiing. In the winter, he would go fishing on frozen lakes. It was so relaxing for him, and I will never understand how he could stay in -20 degrees Celsius, dressed with lots of clothes, and sometimes catch a few small fish. Only a fisherman will understand.
Anyway, those photos I took last fall, when my dad came from fishing. He waited for me and my son to come to his house and look at the fish. He kept them alive in a bucket and wait for his nephew to see and, then, he explained to him how he got them and what he will do with them.
My son loved it. It was a great time for all of us. Alex (my son) will play with the fish and my dad will clean them for my mom to cook. I was watching them and had an amazing feeling.
Before my mom got to cooked the fish, I had time to play with the fish in my own way. Enjoy the photos! Natural light , around 11 am (not a very good hour for photography ) in my dad yard.
I will always remember my dad and our time spend together. Last time I saw my dad before he died, he just cut a fish in pieces and my mom cooked fish for my son. Alex will go to my mom or dad and scream "fish", till he got a plate of small fish, crunchy with a garlic sauce.
I have lots of memories with my dad, and all are so great. I am just sad that he couldn't stay more with us so we can make more amazing memories. He will be so missed!
Great reflection and beautiful photos!
these don't look like any fish we have around here. what are they? i'm not a fish person, so excuse my dumb question. A couple of years ago, I stocked a few of our ponds with a mix of breeds to 'balance' the ecosystem – well that's the plan anyway. Should be able to fish out of them this spring! Ice fishing is for tough people! Great photos!
I am not a fisherman so I had to look on internet about name of this fish: barbel or chub. I remember my dad telling me about this fishes, but I am not sure which one is it. I like that you have a pond.
Thank you for sharing your memories and beautiful photos.
So touching and beautiful memories. Love the pics too!
Beautiful photos of the fish. I lost my dad this past year too, so this post touched my heart.
Loved the story and photos. Glad you have those memories. I'm so sorry for your loss.
This brought back memories of the wonderful river fish eaten in Romania. I did manage to find a carp here in the UK for Revelion (New Year's Eve), I even photographed and posted about it, but delicious as it was it couldn't compare with one freshly caught from the River Prut. I 'liked' this from my photo blog too – just for the superb photos.
My dad used to love fishing at Prut river. He will go there for 1 week just for fishing and silence.
Beautiful photos and moving writing.
Hi! I noticed that you liked my first post on My Aldi Cookbook. Thanks very much for that. I will be adding more everyday.
I really enjoyed reading a few of your articles. I am not a photographer but I understand that taking photographs of food must be difficult. It's not dynamic nor responsive to instructions.
Your page is great. I will follow your advice on food and photography!
My dad passed away when I was sixteen, so this really rang true for me. We only got to go fishing together a few times, but our time of peace and connecting was playing crib. I never beat him, not once, but I wouldn't have traded any of those losses for the world. Thank you for your story.
You are welcome.I got to fish with him, but I have no patience for fishing, so I end up just wondering around.
Our dads! Always with us, even from the sky or wherever…but always with us!
Barbel or chub. I don't know very much about fish.
Love this! Sounds a lot like my childhood memories at the Finnish countryside, fishing and finding all great produce from our nature!
I am glad to see a food blogger who is preserving family food memories because it is important to share them with our children. Children with good memories become better adults!
great shots of the fish. i'm sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. may in the future you get to have new experiences with your family, involving fish/fishing, to keep your fond memories of your dad alive.
Beautiful you have to read this!


PHYSICAL and mental disabilities carry a stigma that is often a basis for exclusion from society as well as the educational sector which is an infringement on the rights of the children.
There is a general assumption that mentally challenged children are dull and incapable of learning and such stereotypes have caused damage to the self-esteem of children living with disabilities.
In an effort to promote, protect their right to education and contribute towards the progressive realisation and enjoyment of this right, Zengeza 1 High School opened a new classroom fully equipped with resources to enhance their learning process.
Speaking at the official opening of the new classroom recently, Provincial Education Director, Harare Metropolitan Province, Edward Shumba, commended the school for such an initiative and encouraged community members to educate their children whether they are disabled or not.
"I am very happy to have commissioned the special class; I saw wonders in that class as they can now go on the Internet with the new computers which will be used for e-learning.
"We value what the school is doing for these children and the support given to the children by the community members. Let us be grateful and accept the children we are given by God.
"We should respect and understand our children's choices and support them in the direction they want to take", said Shumba.
The school, which now has 25 children with disabilities, acquired new learning resources from well-wishers which include books, computers, printers, sewing machines and kitchen utensils among other things to assist in equipping the school with appropriate educational material.
The day, which coincided with speech and prize giving for the whole school saw a lot of children with disabilities collecting prizes for different sporting disciplines and curriculum activities with so many having collected gold and silver medals in the Danhiko Annual Paralympics Games 2013.
One of their teachers, Anna Munyoro, described the inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream education as having a lot of benefits as they could learn new social and life skills from students without disabilities and they in turn would also learn more realistic and accurate views about them and develop friendship or a positive attitude towards them.
She added that the resources they now had would go a long way in improving their lives.
"These children are very excited to explore their new educational material and are very enthusiastic. This initiative by the school will go a long way in developing the children lives.
schools need to take seriously the program of including children with disabilities. By including children with disabilities, there are lot of benefits. However, though it is enshrined in the constitution that everyone has a right to education, these marginalized children are not benefiting from such settings. thumbs up Zengeza High School for taking such initiative. Now these children are now able to participate in the community activities.
Zengeza High 1 you are a shining beacon!!!!!!
this is a splendid step which the headmaster and the community took.


Get logical. Motherhood doesn't complete a woman. Nothing does. Because you know what, a woman is not incomplete to begin with. She is born complete. She is complete because she exists. Because she was born a full human and is not waiting to be completed by a man, marriage or motherhood. These are mere personal choices a woman makes.
All images are placed on separate layers for easy editing.
The popular Facebook page 'Logical Indian' posted a series of sketches, by a Nordic artist by the ID @ab.bel on Instagram, depicting the hard work that motherhood is, the plight of a mother trying to feed, bathe, cook, clean for a baby. This is an open letter to them in response.
Get logical. Motherhood doesn't complete a woman. Nothing does. Because you know what, a woman is not incomplete to begin with. She is born complete. She is complete because she exists. Because she was born a full human and is not waiting to be completed by a man, marriage or motherhood. These are mere personal choices a woman makes. They neither define her nor complete her. Hard for you to understand I know, because according to your understanding a man is the default position, woman is the odd variation. Man is the general, universal, woman is the other. It is little surprise that the most famous tagline for a men's clothing brand goes, "the complete man" not "a complete man." It is not like a certain man becomes complete in a certain way. The human male is complete by default. But a female needs motherhood to be complete.
No. Not logical. Please apply a bit of logic and understand that women are born as complete and equal human being as men. Am I repeating myself? That's because until you understand this, you will never understand why women demand equal human rights.
Before posting these sketches, why didn't it occur to you that the woman is struggling alone with the baby in most? Where is the father?
And when we are at it, what completes a man, may I ask? What about fatherhood? Why don't we have similar common tropes telling a man you were born incomplete until so and so happens? You only become complete when you become a father. That no matter how difficult it gets to bathe and feed a child, you bear it because THAT is your greatest reward and your greatest purpose. Why don't we have popular culture, literature, art, filled with such motifs binding a man to domesticity and housework by glorifying his duties as husband and father?
Before posting these sketches, as lovely as they are, why didn't it occur to you that the woman is struggling alone with the baby in most? Where is the father? Out of the 16 images, the father is seen in only two, sleeping in both. The mother is breastfeeding, cooking, playing, doing grocery shopping, watching TV, trying to attend a phone call--she is always alone, apart from the baby. If the mother can do all these tasks alone, why should she marry at all? Why don't we accept single mothers with open arms, sans judgement?
You would probably argue about independent choice in a free modern society. Please understand 'free choice' doesn't exist out of context and without conditioning. There are no free lunches remember. Our choices are conditioned by societal standards, expectations, definitions of good woman, bad woman.
Tomorrow if a man shames a woman... and tells her that she is less of a woman unless she is a mother, you might be just a little responsible.
You quoted Robert Browning in the post. He must have said those words--"Motherhood: All love begins and ends there"-- sometime before 1889 (the year he died). And we are still using his words to reinforce the same idea. Such words and motifs put the pressure on women to perform in a certain way and that's when their individual choices get influenced by social expectations. Choice is a slippery slope.
Your page has a following of more than 49 lakh people. Any medium with that kind of mass outreach should really be a bit more logical and responsible. Read up, learn about issues, because you are influencing a lot of young minds here. Tomorrow if a man shames a woman for being ambitious, for putting her career over motherhood, and tells her that she is less of a woman, incomplete and inconsequential unless she is a mother, you, Logical Indian, might be just a little responsible.
A complete 40 something, independent, single non-mother woman.
PS. The artist says "feel free to repost" but I am still concerned about your use of her work. Her original posts do not utter a word about motherhood, so how did you deduce that message? This is misappropriation of her work unless you are sure she is comfortable with the message you randomly deduced. So question is, have you communicated with the artist? Have you taken her permission before reproducing her work?

Marsh, James H.. "Hurricane Hazel". The Canadian Encyclopedia, 10 October 2017, Historica Canada. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/hurricane-hazel. Accessed 18 April 2019.
Many acts of heroism took place during Hurricane Hazel as rescuers risked their own lives taking to boats on the swollen rivers (courtesy Toronto and Region Conservation Archives).
A flooded street (courtesy City of Toronto Archives/Fonds 1257 Series 1057, Item 1997).
Hurricane Hazel struck the Toronto area on 15-16 October 1954, with devastating results. It was Canada's worst hurricane and Toronto's worst natural disaster. During the storm, winds reached 124 km/h and over 200 millimetres of rain fell in just 24 hours. This horrific storm left 81 dead, nearly 1900 families homeless, and caused between $25 and $100 million in damages (modern-day cost has been estimated at over $1 billion).
Hurricane hunters first identified Hazel on the afternoon of 5 October 1954, about 75 kilometres east of the island of Grenada in the West Indies. At this point it already had winds of 160 km/h. The storm tracked along the coast of Venezuela before suddenly swerving northward towards Haiti, where it left between 400 and 1000 people dead and destroyed 40% of the island's coffee trees and 50% of the cacao crop, adversely affecting the economy for several years to come.
By 14 October, Hazel was battering the Carolina coast, with estimated wind speeds of 240 km/h, and a tidal surge of 4 metres. It destroyed the entire town of Garden City, South Carolina, leaving only two of 275 homes standing. It tore through the western suburbs of Washington, DC, and across Pennsylvania and New York, causing $1.5 billion in damages and killing 100 people in the United States.
As Hazel approached Ontario, the Dominion Weather Office tracked its erratic path as well as the predictions by the American weather service, and issued warnings to broadcasters. However, few people had experience with hurricanes and were unaware of how to prepare, leaving them vulnerable to the storm's power. After moving inland from the Carolina coast, Hazel seemed to abate over the Alleghenies, where American meteorologists predicted its dissipation. Here, however, the storm was re-energized by a low-pressure system and broke loose towards Lake Ontario and Toronto.
By 4:30 P.M. on 15 October, rain began to fall heavily on Toronto. Underpasses began to collect water, but by 7:00 P.M. the traffic had mostly cleared. Yet as Chief Meteorologist Fred Turnbull warned, "The worst is yet to come. This is the pause that always comes during a hurricane." (Betty Kennedy, Hurricane Hazel, 1979) The pause was not the anticipated "eye" of the hurricane; it was the pause before the deluge of rain inundated the city's rivers.
While the storm struck the Toronto area with heavy winds, the greatest destruction resulted from flooding. Much of the Humber River drainage basin was deforested, which allowed water to quickly flow into the river. The flood plains, already saturated by days of rain, simply could not contain the downpour.
As the flooding escalated, 40 highways and main roads were submerged. Passenger trains were knocked off their tracks. Forty bridges were destroyed or structurally damaged and ten were out of commission because of damage to the approaches. In Woodbridge, the Humber swelled to 107 metres at its narrowest point; nine people died and several hundred more were left homeless. Two men, Murray and Clyde Deadder, were killed when their car was caught in floodwaters in Thistletown, where 12 families were left homeless.
Many brave rescue efforts were undertaken, even though the current was strong enough to endanger most boats. Several would-be rescuers launched missions to save stranded people, only to need rescuing themselves. Five firefighters from the Kingsway-Lambton Fire Station were killed when they attempted to rescue people stranded in a car by flood waters from the Humber River. Their fire truck became stuck on a flooded street and overturned, and the men--weighed down by heavy jackets, boots, and equipment--were tossed into the water.
Lessons were learned from the tragic loss of life and environmental devastation of Hurricane Hazel. Conservation authorities, local municipalities, and the province together developed a comprehensive plan for flood control and water conservation to significantly reduce the risk to life and property posed by extreme weather events. After Hazel, the provincial government amended the Conservation Authorities Act to allow conservation authorities to acquire and regulate vulnerable lands (including the former Raymore Drive) for recreation and conservation.
In 1959, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority initiated plans for the development of large dams, reservoirs, and major flood-control channels, and for an erosion-control program. In addition, large areas of land were identified for acquisition and conservation. Regulations enacted since Hurricane Hazel restrict new development in flood plains, allowing rivers to flow naturally and reducing the risk to people and their property during flooding.

Black lives Matters | Curfews and clashes as US race protests escalate
Curfews were imposed in major US cities Saturday as clashes over police brutality escalated across America with demonstrators ignoring warnings from President Donald Trump that his government would stop the violent protests "cold."
Minneapolis, the epicenter of the unrest, was gripped by a fifth consecutive night of violence with police in riot gear firing tear gas and stun grenades at protesters venting fury at the death of a black man during an arrest in the city on Monday.
Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta were among two dozen cities ordering people to stay indoors overnight as more states called in National Guard soldiers to help control civil unrest not seen in the United States for years.
From Seattle to New York, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets demanding tougher murder charges and more arrests over the death of George Floyd who stopped breathing after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
In Los Angeles, officers fired rubber bullets and swung batons during a testy standoff with demonstrators who set fire to a police car.
Police and protesters clashed in numerous cities including Chicago and New York, with officers responding to projectiles with pepper spray while shop windows were smashed in Philadelphia.
People clean up broken glass following protests demanding for justice for George Floyd, who died while in custody of the Minneapolis police
Trump blamed the extreme left for the violence, including widespread looting and arson in Minneapolis, saying rioters were dishonoring the memory of Floyd.
"We cannot and must not allow a small group of criminals and vandals to wreck our cities and lay waste to our communities," the president said.
"My administration will stop mob violence. And we'll stop it cold," he added, accusing the loose-knit militant anti-fascist network Antifa of orchestrating the violence.
– Rioters to be 'decimated' –
Peaceful protests occurred too, including in Toronto as the movement spread beyond America's borders.
Cars were set on fire in Minneapolis during demonstrations against the death in police custody of unarmed African American George Floyd
Demonstrators nationwide chanted slogans such as "Black Lives Matter" and "I can't breathe," which Floyd, who has become a fresh symbol of police brutality, was heard saying repeatedly before he died.
"We're not turning the cheek anymore. Black lives matter. They will always matter. And we're here today to show that," said makeup artist Melissa Mock, who joined several thousand in a daytime protest in Miami.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walzs said he was mobilizing the state's entire 13,000-strong National Guard to deal with rioters who have looted shops and set fires in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
All major freeways leading into Minneapolis were shut down Saturday night with military helicopters taking to the skies over the area as the state braced for more rioting, arsons and looting with locals saying much of the violence was being perpetrated by outsiders.
Earlier, people congregated peacefully on Minneapolis streets, chanting Floyd's name and carrying brooms to help clean up the scores of shops ransacked in the violence of the previous nights.

Some placed flowers in front of the shop where Floyd was arrested on Monday, before his death in the hands of police was recorded in a horrifying cellphone video since seen around the world.
In Houston — where Floyd was born and raised — an old friend of his, Sam Osborne, said that as an African American he feared for his life.
"I'm really messed up they killed him up. I'm wondering like, what could possibly happen to me?" he told AFP.
Houston's mayor announced at a press conference that Floyd's body would be brought back to the Texas city.
Texas, Colorado and Georgia became the latest states to activate the National Guard, bringing the number of states approving the deployment of the soldiers to at least eight. The National Guard was also deployed around the White House to help handle the protests there.
– 'Black lives matter' –

In Washington, protesters faced off with secret service agents outside the White House for a second straight night as Trump faces the most serious spate of civil unrest of his presidency, in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
Looting occurred in Miami, where a curfew was also announced, while in New York anger spread on social media over a video appearing to show an NYPD police car drive into protesters in Brooklyn.
In Los Angeles, there were reports of looting as the city's mayor expanded a curfew order to cover the entire metropolitan area. Two large fires broke out with emergency services scrambling to put out the blazes.
Protests are expected to continue throughout the weekend even after Chauvin, the now-fired Minneapolis police officer accused of Floyd's death was arrested, and charged with third-degree murder on Friday.
Floyd's family and many protestors want a tougher charge brought and have also demanded that three officers who assisted him to be charged as well.

Thefts go unchecked across Kashmir hospitals
Despite CCTV surveillance, admin fails to stop thefts
HC issues notice to Govt over 'malpractices' in Revenue Deptt
7 days on, Kupwara's Cheerwadi Gulgam without water
In a shocking development, hospitals across Kashmir hospitals have failed to stop rising theft incidents despite majority of healthcare institutes under CCTV surveillance.
The largest maternity hospital, Lal Ded, is the worst-hit place as thieves are making their way all around even in Wards and stole blankets and shoes making attendants suffer.
Mushtaq Ahmad, an attendant from Pattan said his cousin was waiting in the cue at OPD ticket counter two days ago and some unknown person stole rupees 500 from her pocket.
"I saw many patients complaining about thieves stealing money from attendants. These incidents have become normal in the hospital and hospitals administration is least bothered about it," he said.
The theft incidents came to light on Thursday when thieves stole two blankets of an attendant of Bandipora with attendants alleging the incidents have become a routine.
The hospital administration is neither taking the complaints of attendants seriously nor is ready to check through CCTV footage citing security reasons.
Medical Superintendent (MS), LD, Dr Shabir Siddiqi said most of the cases are reported at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where attendants take off their shoes before entering in.
"They take each others' shoes. We have kept a shoe rack there and despite that shoe are stolen," he said.
Siddiqi, however, said they will go through the CCTV footage and will take strict action if any person is identified. "This is a public place and there is any possibility they can steal anything," he said.
Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Soura also sails in the same boat as theft cases continue leaving attendants worried, while it has failed to stop the incidents.
On Friday, a video of CCTV footage at the institute went viral on social media in which a thief wearing pheran is seen stealing a mobile phone from the pocket of a man. The incident has happened on 30 November.
Some incidents are not reported as every area at SKIMS is not fitted with CCTV camera.
On 13 November, a similar incident was reported at SKIMS, in which it came to light that an attendant had stolen shoe outside a theater.
MS, SKIMS Soura, Dr Farooq Jan said they are catching thieves with the help of surveillance cameras and those who were found involved in theft cases were handed over to police.
"In both the incidents (Nov 13 and 30) both the thieves were caught and were later handed over to police. In past also we caught many thieves," he said adding that there are some areas which need to be covered under CCTV cameras.
The theft episodes at SKIMS Medical College & Hospital (MCH), Bemina have become a headache for doctors as thieves have been found stealing belongings from parked cars of doctors.
MS, SKIMS MCH, Dr Shifa said the theft cases happen in the hospital premises stating that they have never received any complaint about patients losing their belongings.
"We have episodes in which parcels, laptops and gold was stolen from cars of doctors. These incidents happen at public places. We can't stop people from entering with patients. We can't stop such cases in spite of having security in place," she said.
However, at SMHS hospital the theft incidents are reported very rarely with officials saying that some CCTV cameras are not functioning.
"In the past few months, we have not received any theft case. Some CCTV cameras are not functioning which need to be repaired," said an official at SMHS.

Elektra, även 17 Tauri, är en blåvit jättestjärna i stjärnbilden Oxen. Det är den tredje ljusaste stjärnan i Plejadernas öppna stjärnhop (M45). De mest synliga stjärnorna i denna grupp är namngivna efter de sju systrarna i den grekiska mytologin.

Egenskaper

Stjärnan har en skenbar ljusstyrka på 3,72, den tredje ljusaste av stjärnorna i stjärnhopen. Elektra har spektraltyp B6 IIIe och är belägen cirka 400 ljusår från solen. Stjärnhopen Plejaderna antas vara 444 ljusår borta.

Den projicerade rotationshastigheten för denna stjärna är 181 km/s. Detta är hastighetskomponenten av stjärnans ekvatoriella rotation längs synfältet till jorden. Den uppskattade inklinationen hos stjärnans pol är 46,8° ± 1,6, vilket ger en sann ekvatoriell rotationshastighet på 320 ± 18 km/s. Den snabba rotationshastigheten hos denna stjärna plattar till polerna och sträcker ut ekvatorn. Detta gör stjärnans gravitation ojämn och orsakar temperaturvariation. Denna effekt är känd som gravitationsmörkning, eftersom det resulterar i en variation av strålning genom latitud. Den snabba rotationen förlänger stjärnans livslängd genom att öka kärntätheten och minska strålningsutgången.

Elektra klassificeras som en Be-stjärna, det vill säga en B-stjärna med framträdande emissionslinjer av väte i sitt spektrum. Be-stjärnor har en rotationshastighet som är 1,5–2 gånger högre än normala B-stjärnor. Förändringar i radialhastigheten indikerar att stjärnan kan ha en följeslagare, vilket skulle göra Elektra till en spektroskopiskt binär stjärna.

Infraröda observationer av stjärnan har påvisat en infrarödexcess på 0,5. Emissionskällan är förmodligen en gasskiva som skapats av massförlust på grund av strålning samt stjärnans snabba rotation. Dessa skivor skapas av en materialutstötning ungefär vart tionde år, vilka sedan sätter sig in i ekvatorialplanet kring stjärnan. Den ljusa nebulositeten som omger denna stjärna gör dock observationen osäker.

Nomenklatur
17 Tauri är stjärnans Flamsteed-beteckning.

Den har det traditionella namnet Elektra. Elektra var en av de sju Plejaderna i den grekiska mytologin. År 2016 anordnade Internationella astronomiska unionen (IAU) en arbetsgrupp för stjärnnamn (WGSN) för att katalogisera och standardisera stjärnnamn. WGSN godkände namnet Elektra för den här stjärnan den 21 augusti 2016 och den är nu så inskriven i IAU-katalogen över stjärnnamn.

•Fresh pink grapefruit or lemon juice: 1 large or 2 small, enough to squeeze 2/3 cup juice.
Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day. Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success. This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones.
9:45 PM. Pour ½ cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar. Wash grapefruit twice in hot water and dry; squeeze by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have at least ½ cup, more (up to ¾ cup) is best. You may use part lemonade. Add this to the olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this).
10:00 PM. Drink the potion you have mixed. Drinking through a large plastic straw helps it go down easier. You may use oil and vinegar salad dressing, or straight honey to chase it down between sips. Have these ready in a tablespoon on the kitchen counter. Take it all to your bedside if you want, but drink it standing up. Get it down within 5 minutes (fifteen minutes for very elderly or weak persons).
How safe is the liver cleanse? It is very safe. My opinion is based on over thousands cases, including many persons in their seventies and eighties. None went to the hospital; none even reported pain. However it can make you feel quite ill for one or two days afterwards.

Home » Al Capone
Probably the most famous of all Mafia gangsters. Alphonse Gabriel Capone (January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947) was born to immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York. The young Al Capone become a delinquent at early age, despite showing early promise as a student, Capone struggled with authority and was expelled from school at 14 for hitting a teacher. Around this time Capone started running with some small-time gangs when he came to the attention of mobster Johnny Torrio.
Criminal Career
When Capone joined the notorious Five Points Gang in Lower Manhattan Johnny Torrio took him under his wing as his protege. Torrio found the ambitious thug work as a barman at the Harvard Inn owned by his business associate Frankie Yale. Torrio taught Capone the importance of setting up a front as a legitimate entrepreneur. while running a racketeering business. Torrio represented a new era in criminal activities, transforming crude and often violent street crime into a corporate empire.
In 1909 Johnny Torrio left for Chicago while Al Capone remained in New York working under the guidance of Frankie Yale. It was around this time Capone got his facial scars from Frank Galluccio that earned him the nickname "scarface", the story goes he insulted Galluccio's sister Lena, telling her she had a "nice ass". Capone later hired Frank Galluccio as his bodyguard.
In 1919, after two years of working under Frankie Yale, Al Capone left New York to team up once again with Johnny Torrio in Chicago where he had become an influential lieutenant in the Colosimo mob. The Colosimo mob was run by Big Jim Colosimo and it was Big Jim who had recruited Johnny Torrio form New York. Colosimos primary interest was prostitution and with Torrio had expanded the business to 200 brothels and were making moves into gambling and racketeering.
1920 and prohibition came into effect across the United States. Both Capone and Torrio saw that bootlegging was going to be massive and intended to take full advantage of these opportunities, the only only thing that stood in there way was Big Jim. Colosimo would no let his gang get involved in bootlegging. Torrios only option was to assassinate his boss, with Al Capone as the assassin.
With the demise of Colosimo, Torrio was able to take on full leadership of the Colosimo gang with Al Capone as his second in command, this Torrio-Capone organization became known as The Chicago Outfit.


The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio filed a complaint in federal court, Tuesday, against the city of Cleveland. The ACLU wants the city to back-off of what it calls "unlawful restrictions" on demonstrators at next month's Republican National Convention.
Last month, the city of Cleveland issued its rules for protests and marches at the RNC. The American Civil Liberties Union quickly objected, pointing to what it called a number of Constitutional violations. For example, demonstrators will only be allowed to parade across the Lorain-Carnegie bridge which, the ACLU contends, most convention attendees won't even see. Plus, the city has designated a so-called "event zone," covering most of downtown. Inside that zone, where thousands of people live, there's an extensive no-carry list, including tennis balls, light bulbs and more than six-feet of string.
ACLU General Counsel Susan Becker says that led to some frustrating negotiations with the city last week.
"We had a meeting with them that didn't yield anything," she recalls, "so we're really forced to file this complaint. It's accompanied by a motion for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction, asking the judge to immediately take a number of actions."
Which include reducing the size of the event zone, and bringing the protest route closer to the Q where the convention will take place. The ACLU is asking Judge James Gwin to begin a court proceeding this week in hopes of settling the matter before the start of the RNC, which is a little over a month away. There was no reaction to the lawsuit from a Cleveland spokesperson, who said the city does not comment on on-going litigation.

Lt. Halsey Meets �That Damned Yachtsman�
�At Least, Your Holiness . . . .�
"History knows many more armies ruined by want and disorder than by the effects of their enemies."
-- Richelieu
The average age on first enlistment of a soldier in the �Indian Fighting Army� (1865-1890), was 23, and 32 for re-ups.
The winter campaign in the Carpathians in 1914-1915 seems to have cost the Austro-Hungarian Army c. 6,600 casualties a day for nearly 100 days, mostly from illness, notably cholera and frostbite.
In 1808 French Army Maj. Nicholas L�Homond proposed invading Britain by means of a fleet of 100 hot air balloons, each 100 meters in diameter and capable of carrying a thousand infantrymen, two cannon with their caissons, and 25 horses, plus supplies for ten days.
In 1942 a scrap drive in Nebraska yielded 135 million tons of metal, about 103 pounds for every man, woman, and child in the state.
During the Napoleonic Wars only 17.7-percent of the officers in British infantry regiments had secured their commissions through purchase, in contrast to 45.1-percent in the cavalry, which may help explain why Wellington found his footsloggers more reliable than his horse soldiers.
In 1370 the mercenary Giovanni Acuto � Sir John Hawkwood � encountering two of his soldiers quarreling over who had the right to ravish a young nun whom they had taken prisoner, resolved the problem by thrusting a dagger into her heart.
During the Crimean War the British estimated that they might recruit some 30,000 volunteers from the United States, but in fact only managed to secure about 150.
The Roman Emperor Valentinian I (361-375) once executed an armorer because he had made a mistake in the weight of a breastplate.

Q: Java: Format a string as a telephone number I have an unformatted telephone number string ("5551234567"). I would like to format this string for display purposes in the ui. The number should look like this after format:
(555) 123-4567
Sigh.....
I was trying to find a generic way that would take into account both US and international phone numbers. I came accross the MaskFormatter in the JDK but discovered that there is a bug in the Javadoc. Which lead me to asking my question here. I was hoping for a solution where I could input a mask then the actual string. The output would be formatted accordingly for international/US numbers or if the wrong number of characters were specified, some default character would be displayed in place of the missing characters........
http://www.java.net/node/660119

A: String.format("(%s) %s-%s", number.substring(0, 3), number.substring(3, 6),
          number.substring(6, 10));

A: Is this homework? I'll leave it as an exercise to John to covert from Perl to Java. Should be simple; especially with something like http://www.regexbuddy.com/.
:~$ perl -pe 's/\D//g;s/^(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{0,4})(\d*)/(\1) \2-\3/'

Orlando Brown, actor on 'That's So Raven,' pleads not guilty to assault charges
Posted on December 25, 2022 by martin
Former child star Orlando Brown has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor assault charges stemming from an alleged altercation in Lima, Ohio.
According to Allen County Sheriff's Office records, the 35-year-old Brown was taken into custody Thursday morning and held on a $25,000 bond. He was arraigned Friday in Lima Municipal Court and charged with aggravated menacing, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Police told the Times that they had been summoned to a home and witnessed a verbal argument they feared could turn violent.
Brown has had numerous legal and other personal troubles, including charges of domestic battery, resisting arrest and drug possession.

Orlando Brown, left, talks with Smith Middle School principal Carol Batiste at the school in Beaumont, Texas, in 2007. The actor/rapper was arrested earlier this week on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.
He has been in out of medical and rehabilitation facilities. In 2018, he reached out for help to Dr. Phil McGraw, who brought him onto his television show to discuss Brown's struggles.
On the show, Brown told McGraw about his past battles with alcohol and drugs, including marijuana and crystal meth.
"Just the influence and the demons that come with that drug kind of took over," Brown said. "I just found myself in a dark place because I couldn't really find everybody. It's kinda like looking for your keys, when you stop looking, they're right there type of deal. I started to realize what was in front of me. From there, now I'm good."
Brown came to fame as a child star on the Disney Channel, most memorably playing Eddie Thomas, best friend to Raven-Symoné's psychic character on "That's So Raven." He also voiced Sticky Webb in Disney Channel animated series "The Proud Family," and appeared opposite Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in ABC sitcom "Two of a Kind."
The actor/singer also recorded multiple Disney cover songs before branching out with a solo rap career, releasing a new track called "Squid Games" (inspired by the hit Netflix show) earlier this year.

The Lancashire Telegraph, formerly the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, is a local tabloid newspaper distributed in East Lancashire, England. It is edited by Karl Holbrook. There are around twenty towns in the area, including Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, Darwen, Nelson, Clitheroe, Colne, and Rawtenstall.

The editor is Karl Holbrook, who is also the group editor of Newsquest's newspaper brands across Lancashire and Greater Manchester, including The Bolton News, Bury Times, The Oldham Times and Salford City News. The newspapers are owned by Newsquest, a division of Gannett, a firm based in the United States.

History
The newspaper was founded by Thomas Purvis Ritzema, a young newspaper manager, who purchased two shops at 19 and 21 Railway Road, Blackburn, for the launch of his venture. The first copy appeared on the streets on 26 October 1886, and sold for a ha'penny. It was known then as the Northern Daily Telegraph, and it was the first evening newspaper to be published in East Lancashire.

In 1894, the head office was moved to the corner site of Railway Road and High Street. From 7 September 1939, soon after the start of World War II, advertisements gave way to news on the front page. On 10 December 1956, it changed its title to the Northern Evening Telegraph and on 2 September 1963, the name changed again to Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

The newspaper used full colour for the first time, on 11 November 1963, with spot colour introduced on 25 January 1965, and colour in classified advertising following on 19 March 1965. In 1982, it moved to the south side of High Street, which marked the introduction of new computerised technology.

The new offices were built on part of the Dutton's brewery site; the old offices were demolished, and after the remainder of the brewery closed in the mid 1980s, the supermarket (Morrisons) was built on the site. In 1995, the Lancashire Evening Telegraph became the first regional newspaper in Britain to put daily, updated news on the internet.

In February 2006, in order to cut costs, the company announced it was to close its district offices in the Lancashire towns of Burnley, Accrington and Darwen. On 17 July 2006, the newspaper changed its name to the: Lancashire Telegraph, as it switched to overnight printing, in order to distribute copies in the morning. It was North West: Newspaper of the Year in the How Do! Awards, 2011.

In March 2017, the newspaper moved to Church Street, and the offices on High Street were converted into apartments.
