State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate (SACI) has rendered an order on apartment building breaking that was built without Approval Documentation.
A breaking order was appealed to an administrative court. Jusguards` lawyers proved that the sphere of SACI doesn't cover rendering of breaking orders. The court has concurred with the arguments of JusGuard Lawyers and annulled the order.
To cancel a breaking order.
The breaking order of SACI was annulled.
A building company contacted us of necessity to determine further sale plan for apartments at projects under construction.
To submit the analysis of the actual apartments sale plans at the stage of construction.
Further to conducted analysis the client took decision to register housing association.
We received the order to develop an optimal plan for non-residential premises sale in office center that is under construction.
Considering target sales and construction period the lawyers of the company have proposed property rights sale scheme based on property rights purchase and sale agreement plus claim assignment agreement (cession). The scheme involves individual entrepreneurs apart from the developer.
To develop the sale plan and contractual documentation.
Proposed scheme made possible redistribution of cash flows between the legal body-developer and a physical party-agent.
A building company has reached an agreement with the land owner on construction of accommodation complex. Whereas it is necessary to regulate mutual rights and obligations the parties contacted legal firm.
The lawyers of the Jusguard proposed the plan using superficies agreement. Under this agreement the building company (developer) got land plots in use for construction. At that the land owner received legally legitimate document engaging the developer to render to the land owner some space in built accommodation complex after the completion of the construction in requital.
To create an agreement between the land owner and building company.
The specialists of the company have created text of the superficies agreement considering client preferences, and succeeded its signing, as well as notarization.
Investment through forward contracts is newish scheme of money attraction in construction. A building company that previously didn't use that scheme ordered a legal analysis of the advantages and risks of forward contracts usage.
On the one hand investment scheme by means of forward contracts corresponds to all legislative requirements and allows optimizing tax liabilities. On the other hand the application of the scheme is explained only for large construction projects. In the other circumstances, there are other schemes allowing the achievement tax optimization but not such expensive in development and maintenance.
To estimate the advantage of forward contracts usage for attraction of investors' funds.
Having studying the legal analysis prepared by the lawyers of our company, the client decided to choose an alternative plan of attracting investments.
A building company contacted us of necessity to regulate mutual agreements with the land user and the land holder. At this, the land user has to receive 10 % of living space in built house as building royalty.
A joint venture agreement allows regulating legal relations in integrated manner between the land user and involved investor who will act as developer.
The client was upset over the necessity to register joint venture agreement at tax department, but the lawyers of Jusguard have explained that only agreements assuming deposits joining, as well as certain accounting and tax records, are subject to binding registration.
If the joint venture agreement is free of such conditions, the demand for binding registration doesn't apply to it.
To regulate the relations between the land user and the investor-developer.
The joint venture agreement was made considering legislative requirements and client preferences.
The client of the company contacted us of necessity to put into operation his house that was built without approval documentation.
To put into operation private residences that were built without approval documentation is possible in terms of certain procedure. The specialists of Jusguard filled in a facility readiness declaration and along with the necessary documentation package submitted it to the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate.
To put into operation private residence.
The private residence was put into operation based on the facility readiness declaration that was registered by the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate.
Company's client who is a foreign-owned joint stock company, producer of the switchboards, contacted us with the questions on ownership registration for freestanding building included in authorized capital. During the process of establishment of the enterprise in 2001 one of the founders included a freestanding building in authorized capital. Herein after the aims of the founder have changed and he opposed the ownership registration at every possible way. Thus, until 2013 the title of ownership was unrecognized, although the enterprise incurred all general occupancy expenses.
The lawyers of our company have completed missing documents afterwards required document package was submitted to the State Registration Service.
To register enterprise's title of ownership for building included in authorized capital.
The title certificate was completed (Certificate of Ownership) and was done the state registration of the title.


kissing frogs.: today i ran the nyc marathon. oh wait..
today i ran the nyc marathon. oh wait..
Today I was supposed to run the New York City Marathon. I was supposed to wake up at the crack of dawn so that my dad could drive me to the ferry. I was supposed to meet my friends at athletes village wearing ridiculous clothing to keep warm. I was supposed to run over the Verrazano bridge, terrified that someone would spit into my mouth (someone told me that it happened to their friend and i was HORRIFIED). I was supposed to listen to the gospel choirs in Brooklyn. I was supposed to be miserable running over the 59th street bridge. but secretly loving every minute of it. I was supposed to have 30 of my family members and friends throughout the course, wearing obnoxiously bright green shirts, and cheering for me. I was supposed to marvel at how it's possible that going uptown on 1st avenue and downtown on 5th avenue could be uphill BOTH ways. I was supposed to cry when I crossed the finish line, knowing that I had just accomplished something pretty great. I was supposed to make my dad proud, knowing that it made him so happy to see his daughter follow in his footsteps in the most literal way.
Had the race been held today it would have divided the city, something that I never want to see happen to my beautiful hometown. New Yorkers are strong, brave, proud, and wonderful and the marathon was bringing out ugliness and negativity. I know that this was not the year for me, nor the NYC marathon. Too many people were suffering, too much had been lost.
Instead of running the marathon I woke up and did an 8 mile training run with Lauren and Jenn. We then drove up to New Hampshire and cheered on two of my friends with whom I was supposed to run the NYC Marathon. I saw many runners sporting the NYCM tech shirts and I'm not going to lie - I felt a pang of sadness. I spent a lot of time over the last few days crying. And some of you may think that's selfish considering what others have lost. Any maybe it is. But I believe that I am allowed to feel disappointed and upset while at the same time terrible sadness for what people are going through. I don't believe that either of those things are mutually exclusive.
There's not much of a point in dwelling on the should have's and supposed to's - or at least not anymore. I have friends and family who have rallied around me with words of encouragement and positivity. I know that many did not agree with the decision to hold the marathon, yet they chose to support me because they knew how much it meant to me and how hard I had trained. So now I look ahead to Richmond. Reading up on the race it's supposed to be a great course, with tons of friendly spectators and a junk food station! So many thanks to Lauren and Allison for being wonderful and for making sure that I had a ride to the race and a place to sleep - it is so unbelievably appreciated. And I know this race will be special in its own way. It's not New York, and it's not my hometown, but you know what? I am running my second marathon in six days and that is something to be proud of.

White Island, New Zealand
White Island, Dragon Lair
I wasn't the only person going to White Island from the hostel, so I gave Natascha a lift down to the port. We chatted easily on the 90-minute ride out to the island, watching the cliffs get taller as we approached and wondering how we were going to get into the crater. That became clear as we rounded the far side of the island. One wall of the cliff was missing completely leaving a horseshoe-shaped crater. We'd seen puffs of steam rising as we approached, but now we could see that the back of the crater was full of it. The weather was in our favour as it kept the steam blowing that way, giving us a clear view of everything else.
We split into three groups and donned hard hats and optional gas masks. They ferried us across to the island in a dingy (reminding me a lot of the shore excursions in Galápagos). Our guides, Nick and Mata, led us around the island. We were told to stick closely together and listen to instructions at all times. This was an active marine volcano, and while lava eruptions were so unlikely as to be almost impossible, gaseous explosions still happen regularly, sending showers of rocks and gravel into the air. Should that happen, we were more likely to flee in the same direction if we were in a group, which made evacuations easier. What a comforting thought…
There have been several attempts to mine sulphur commercially over the years, but none have proved lucrative enough and the human collateral has been high. We were led around the outside of the crater to see bright yellow sulphur oxide deposits, steaming streams, bubbling mud pools and stinky fumaroles. The gas masks were optional, only really necessary by one particularly smelly pool. The main crater lake at the back of the caldera was bubbling violently. It is extremely acidic and we were kept well back from the edge in case the overhang decided to break off at that moment. It was easy to see how the makers of the Narnia Chronicals had seen this as the perfect setting for the dragon lair in Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
It was fascinating to see this kind of environment up close. I'd seen something like it in Lassen National Park in California, but this felt much more real as we weren't confined to a boardwalk. Some of the old mining equipment still remained, but it had rusted well beyond use and in come cases almost beyond recognition. It just added to the atmosphere. It was hard to imagine being left out here for a month at a time while mining the sulphur. Miners had to climb the steep cliff trail up to the campsite each day for a safe place to sleep, but accidents still happened. Eruptions damaged equipment and storage sheds and several miners fell victim to the steaming vents and acidic pools.
There are seismographs and cameras set up on the island to monitor activity on a regular basis. One seismologist set up a small plastic dinosaur in front one of the cameras as a joke, but the DinoCam has become an Internet sensation. The White Island website crashed after the New York Times mentioned it in an article.
On the journey back to Whakatane, we were lucky enough to cross paths with a huge pod of dolphins, who wanted to play. We watched them coming in from some distance away, leaping over the waves in groups, before they surrounded us. They stuck with us for about 15 minutes, leaping out ahead of us, ducking under the boat to reappear on the far side and playing with each other. I counted at least 30 of them, though there could have been double that number. It was certainly the most dolphins I've seen in one place at once. It was a fantastic highlight to an already brilliant day.
After dropping Natascha back at the hostel, I drove down to Rotorua and checked in at the Blarney Rock Backpackers in the middle of town. I just missed the shops, but still had a wander around the town to stretch my legs before cooking dinner and introducing a few younger backpackers to the classic 80's movie Pretty in Pink.

JUDGMENT by Joseph Finder
Click book cover to purchase
New York Times bestselling author Joseph Finder returns with an explosive new thriller about a female judge and the one personal misstep that could lead to her–and her family's–downfall.
It was nothing more than a one-night stand. Juliana Brody, a judge in the Superior Court of Massachusetts, is rumored to be in consideration for the federal circuit, maybe someday the highest court in the land. At a conference in a Chicago hotel, she meets a gentle, vulnerable man and has an unforgettable night with him—something she'd never done before. They part with an explicit understanding that this must never happen again.
But back home in Boston, Juliana realizes that this was no random encounter. The man from Chicago proves to have an integral role in a case she's presiding over–a sex-discrimination case that's received national attention. Juliana discovers that she's been entrapped, her night of infidelity captured on video. Strings are being pulled in high places, a terrifying unfolding conspiracy that will turn her life upside down. But soon it becomes clear that personal humiliation, even the possible destruction of her career, are the least of her concerns, as her own life and the lives of her family are put in mortal jeopardy.
In the end, turning the tables on her adversaries will require her to be as ruthless as they are.
Wow! This is Finder's best book so far, and that is saying a lot. I loved this character, Juliana is a working mom with all that goes along with that, has what seems like a pretty good marriage, at least from the outside, and a job that she loves. But there are definitely cracks in the marriage and her little infidelity brings such enormous consequences that the marriage is the least of it. Being a judge has its perks for sure, but the downside is explored here, leaving her ripe for blackmail is an awfully big downside. Juliana is a very strong woman but when her family is threatened, all bets are off.
I read this a few months ago, and it is as fresh in my memory as if I had read it last week. The story is compelling, the characters seem like people I could know. This was a nonstop read for me, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. If you're a fan of Harlan Coben, Linwood Barclay, suburban and/or legal thrillers in general, you will love this book. Don't miss it!
1/19 Stacy Alesi, AKA the BookBitch™
Don't believe me? Here's another voice:
Juliana Brody, a judge with the Superior court of Massachusetts, is at a convention in Chicago. She is rumored to be in contention for the Federal court and perhaps in the future the Supreme court. She is a woman that is good at her job and very serious about her reputation, taking great care with decisions rendered and treatment of both defense and prosecution in each case. While at the bar in the hotel she is staying at, she meets a man that attracts her. He is sincere, seemingly honest and in a moment of temporary weakness Juliana enters into a night of pleasure. After the fact both she and the man agree that this can never happen again.
Back home in Boston Juliana is presiding over a case involving a lawsuit by a woman against the company she was working for and one that is receiving national attention. Shortly after the trial begins and like a bolt out of the blue, the man she was with in Chicago appears and seats himself with the defense for the company involved with the litigation. At a later meeting with the man she is shown a video exposing her Chicago indiscretion and is told that it will be made public unless she finds for the company against the woman suing them for wrongful sexual behavior.
Events swiftly become enlarged and Juliana feels trapped by the circumstances not knowing what to do. She is threatened with much more than the damning film and finds that her family is also in the bulls-eye of those that are attempting to influence the verdict. Her desperation brings in possible help from influential friends, a private detective and a blow out fight with her husband. Finally Juliana comes to the realization that in order to fight fire one must use fire. This realization sets up a perfect ending for the book.
Finder is a master craftsman within the literary world and "Judgement" is certainly a prime example of his talent. No, you can't put the book down before the ending and the only problem with reading Joseph Finder's books is that after they are read one has to wait for the next one.

THE ESCAPE ARTIST by Brad Meltzer
Nola (named after the city) Brown is a truly damaged yet kick-ass woman; bright, tough beyond belief, and an amazingly talented artist. In fact, she is the youngest artist-in-residence the military has ever had. What that means is she decides where she wants to go and when she gets there she draws anything she wants. It turns out she sees a lot more than most people, and saved many lives because of her eye.
Zig is a mortician at Dover Air Force base who works on fallen soldiers. He considers himself to be an artist, and his work is his life. He got divorced after his young daughter died.
When Nola Brown's body comes into Dover after a fatal small plane crash, Zig is shocked to discover the woman he's working on is not Nola. He knew Nola as a child, she was in Girl Scouts with his daughter and saved her life after a can exploded near a campfire. Nola took the shrapnel instead, leaving her ear disfigured but the ears on the woman on Zig's table are perfect.
Thus begins a twisty, at times violent, roller coaster ride of a thriller. There is a lot of really fascinating information on the death process of fallen soldiers, history about Houdini, his friends and family, and about magic in general. I love how I inevitably learn something from Meltzer's novels, his research is always impeccable. The story moves back and forth between Nola's childhood and present day, and that helps keep the pages turning.
The surprises keep coming, the pacing is relentless, and the body count high in this terrific political thriller. (And librarians, the President appointed Librarian of Congress plays a prominent part!) Readers who love strong women protagonists like Lisbeth Salander (Stieg Larsson,) Caitlin Strong (Jon Land,) and even Katniss (Suzanne Collins) will love Nola Brown.
Another terrific read from one of my favorite authors (and one of my favorite people!) Don't miss it.

Bioterrorism threatens
By Peter Curson - posted Thursday, 5 April 2018 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
Today the threat of bioterrorism has never been so real. The recent bioterrorist event in the UK casts an ominous shadow over the world.
Bioterrorism is the deliberate use of viruses, bacteria, toxins and other agents to produce death, disease and widespread fear in human populations. Such agents are in many ways the perfect weapons to spread fear and terror. They can be easily spread through air, water, food or by simply coming into contact with an infected surface. They are very difficult to detect and may not cause illness or death for many hours or days after exposure. With the exception of smallpox these agents all occur naturally in our biophysical environment – in water, air, soil and animals.
Toxins such as Novichok, the one most probably used in the recent UK event, have been labelled as the most dangerous. They are very easily spread, remain often totally invisible and create panic and fear among the general public. The chemical composition of Novichok was revealed by a Russian scientist living in the USA in 2008 but has never been confirmed or made public.
For some time anthrax was considered one of the bio-weapons of greatest concern as was smallpox before it. Now our attention has been drawn to the use of vaporised nerve agents such a Novichok which is part of a collection of nerve agents developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s possibly to elude international restrictions on chemical weapons. Now it appears that toxins such as Novichok rate as the most lethal and most feared. Possibly one gram of aerosol toxin could kill more than one million people.
Biological warfare has a long history. As early as 600BC the Assyrians poisoned their enemies wells with a virulent fungi. In 1763 the British used smallpox as a weapon against native Americans. Germany also developed a biological warfare program during World War 1.
Biological warfare reached a peak in Manchuria and China between 1931 and 1943 when the occupying Japanese used biological weapons against the local population, among other things infecting prisoners with a variety of agents including plague, anthrax and cholera as well as dropping ceramic bombs full of plague infected fleas on villages and towns. There is also evidence that chemicals were used by the Bolivians in the Chaco War against Paraguay.
After the Gulf War, Iraq was found to have a biological weapons program. More recently Isis has been accused of using chemical weapons in Mosul and was rumoured to be considering launching a series of attacks using plague.
Over the last 20 or so years the threat of bioterrorism has markedly increased. World attention to the use of biological weapons emerged in 2001 when letters containing powdered anthrax were sent via the US Postal Service. This attack resulted in 22 infected and five deaths and spread fear across America.
The threat of bioterrorism has heightened in recent years. The anthrax attacks in the US, the Sarin nerve agent incident in Japan, the ricin incident in Britain, plus the use of chemical weapons in Syria and parts of the Middle East all cast an ominous shadow as does the most recent incident in London. We have now been forced to accept that the use of such weapons is no longer in the realms of fantasy.
Bioterror agents have a number of characteristics that make them attractive weapons. These include their toxicity, the difficulty in detecting them, the ease and cheapness of their production, the ease and relative simplicity of their dissemination and the time lag between release and their effects. They also reduce the chance that the perpetrator will be seen or discovered and create considerable fear and panic among local populations. The Novichok incident in London illustrates all this only too well.
The possibility of a biological attack today is difficult for anyone to imagine. It makes everyday objects potentially fatal – doorhandles, clothing, newspapers and magazines, suitcases, kitchen and dining utensils, taps and human breath.
It is a worrying future. Although bio-weapons have been around for centuries, modern technology has produced new and deadly forms against which we have little defence.
While the likelihood of a bioterrorist incident in Australia or New Zealand may seem remote particularly in the context of emerging infectious diseases and the threat of another pandemic, the growing number of "white powder" incidents around the world suggests that we should take such things very seriously.

Towards a positive societal footprint for responsible gold mining
Stahls GROUP > Daily Steel News > Towards a positive societal footprint for responsible gold mining
Rock Lefrançois, Columbis Gold writes: At a time when pandemic is raging, questions about the world after COVID-19 affect all economic sectors. This pandemic comes to say out loud what many civil society organisations were already saying and is pushing each organisation to rethink its activities, its development, its impact on biodiversity and environmental footprint.
It is all the more the case for the gold sector as in any crisis, gold confirms its safe haven status with a price still at historically very high levels. At the same time, like other resources, gold is facing growing attention to the environmental and social impact of the conditions under which it is extracted.
In these times of uncertainty, gold is then both strengthened in its role as a safe haven and confronted with its negative impacts up its value chain.
The environmental impacts on forests and biodiversity related to the land tenure of extractive activities are mobilising many of the communities bordering the sites, as was the protest movement that led to the recent suspension of the Alamos Gold mining project at Kirazli in Turkey. Waste treatment techniques have sadly made news headlines with the rupture of the Brumadinho mining dam in 2019, with the dumping of 12 million m3 of mud causing the death of at least 259 people. Not to mention the daily environmental and health devastation caused by illegal gold panning using mercury, despite its ban, notably by the EU.
But it is probably the communities' feeling of being ignored and deprived of legitimately expected compensation that creates the most distrust. The lack of consultation upstream of mining projects, which is essential for the construction of free, prior and informed consent of communities, is the strongest reason for opposition. Without dialogue, without shared diagnosis, there is no chance of convincing people of the sincerity of the commitments. Whether they concern environmental protection, training and creation of sustainable jobs or the development of the local economic fabric, they are often perceived as false promises.
These issues expose industry players on all five continents to significant legal, societal and reputational risks. Examples are multiplying, as evidenced by the criminal liability of Vale executives following the Brumadinho dam failure, or the abandonment of projects such as the Tia Maria copper mine in Peru. Legal risks that are taking on new extraterritorial forms, such as the recent decision against Nevsun Resources by the Supreme Court in Canada. The judges recognised the jurisdiction of Canadian courts to deal with Eritreans' complaint of human rights violations at the mine site of the Canadian mining company's subsidiary in Eritrea.
Responses to these issues are emerging. Whether it is the co-management of the Red Dog mine in Alaska, or the implementation of circular economy approaches to reduce the carbon footprint as illustrated by the Kittilä mine in Finland. However, if the mining industry is rapidly adapting to new environmental and human rights standards, it is not yet perceived as able to meet the increasingly insistent expectations.
These expectations are all the more legitimate as mining is undeniably a lever for structuring a territory. Indeed, in many cases mining was the first industry to develop territories and create wealth. Whether it is a question of transport or energy infrastructure needs, technologies or skills, a mining project contributes, in sometimes isolated areas, to establishing the conditions for economic and social development that goes far beyond the extraction activity alone. The potential for optimising positive impacts is all the greater if mining operators manage to bring together all local economic players.
However, it has become very difficult, in the light of so many controversies that are stirring up the sector, to perceive mining activity as a strategic axis for the development of a territory, respectful of people and the environment. This makes it necessary to create the conditions for trust with regard to stakeholders.
The time for responsible mining has come! A mine whose governance is open to stakeholders and whose credo is the search for shared diagnoses and transparency. A mine that uses the most advanced technologies to drastically reduce its environmental impact. A mine that aims and displays its ambitions for a positive social impact on the territory, before, during and after exploitation.
The gold sector can lead the way! Its value chain has probably never been better positioned to bring out tangible projects of responsible mining. The stars are aligned to enter into ambitious, sincere and well-resourced commitment processes. We will play our full part.

Breaker Morant este un film de război dramatic de proces regizat de Bruce Beresford după un scenariu de Beresford, Jonathan Hardy și David Stevens. A fost produs de studiourile South Australian Film Corporation, Australian Film Commission și The Seven Network și a avut premiera la 15 martie 1980, fiind distribuit de Roadshow Film Distributors (Village Roadshow). Filmul este bazat pe piesa de teatru cu același nume din 1978 de Kenneth G. Ross care la rândul ei se bazează pe procesul din 1902 al lui Harry "Breaker" Morant, Peter Handcock și George Witton — unii dintre primii acuzați de crime de război din istoria militară britanică. Morant a fost acuzat de executarea sumară a lui Floris Visser, un prizonier de război rănit, și de uciderea a patru afrikaneri și a patru profesori olandezi care fuseseră luați prizonieri la spitalul Elim, în timpul celui de-al Doilea Război al Burilor. Avocatul apărării, maiorul James Francis Thomas, a cerut achitarea în conformitate cu ceea ce se numește acum Apărarea de la Nürnberg, susținând că acuzații nu ar putea fi considerați responsabili din punct de vedere legal sau moral, deoarece ei respectau doar ordinele primite.

Cheltuielile de producție s-au ridicat la 800.000 dolari australieni. Filmul a avut încasări de 4,7 milioane dolari australieni.

În 1980, filmul a câștigat zece premii ale Institutului Australian de Film, printre care: Cel mai bun film, Cea mai bună regie, Actorul principal, Actorul secundar, Scenariul, Regia de artă, Cinematografia și Montajul. De asemenea, a fost nominalizat la Premiul Oscar din 1980 pentru cea mai bună scriere (Premiul Oscar pentru cel mai bun scenariu adaptat).

La lansarea sa în 1980, filmul lui Beresford a prezentat povestea vieții lui Morant unui public mondial și "a ridicat imaginile ofițerilor acuzați la nivelul icoanelor și martirilor australieni". Potrivit istoricului sud-african Charles Leach, "justiția a fost realizată doar parțial prin aceste procese și prin sentințele date."

Într-un interviu din 1999, Beresford a explicat că Breaker Morant "nu a pretins niciodată" că inculpații nu sunt vinovați de crimele pentru care au fost acuzați. El a intenționat ca filmul să exploreze modul în care atrocitățile din timpul războiului pot fi "comise de oameni care par a fi destul de normali". Beresford a concluzionat că a fost "uimit" că atât de mulți oameni văd filmul său ca fiind despre "australienii săraci care au fost asupriți de britanici".

Rezumat

În Pretoria, Africa de Sud, în 1902, maiorul Charles Bolton (Rod Mullinar) este chemat la o întâlnire cu Lordul Kitchener (Alan Cassell). I se spune că trei ofițeri ai regimentului Bushveldt Carbineers - locotenenții Harry Morant (Edward Woodward), Peter Handcock (Bryan Brown) și George Witton (Lewis Fitz-Gerald) - au fost arestați și acuzați de asasinarea burilor capturați și a unui misionar german. Explicând îngrozit că împăratul Germaniei - Wilhelm al II-lea - a protestat diplomatic în legătură cu această din urmă crimă, Kitchener îi cere maiorului Bolton să fie procurorul curții marțiale. Spre consternarea vizibilă a maiorului, i se spune că martorii care ar fi putut ajuta apărarea au fost trimiși în India și că se așteaptă ca avocatul apărării să nu-i facă probleme.

Avocatul apărării, maiorul James Francis Thomas (Jack Thompson) se întâlnește cu Morant, Handcock și Witton doar cu o zi înainte ca acesta să îi apere în instanță. El le spune că știe doar faptele de bază, care nu arată bine. Un avocat mic din New South Wales în viața civilă, maiorul Thomas explică că nu s-a ocupat niciodată de vreun proces important, cu excepția documentelor legale precum testamentele. Handcock remarcă că : "Ar putea fi util".

Pe măsură ce procedurile curții marțiale încep a doua zi dimineață, maiorul Thomas susține, deoarece clienții săi sunt australieni, că numai Armata Australiană îi poate judeca. Nemulțumit, președintele curții marțiale, locotenent-colonelul Denny, explică faptul că inculpații pot fi judecați pentru presupuse infracțiuni comise în timpul serviciului sub comanda britanică în regimentul Bushveldt Carbineers. Fără alte întrebări, Denny citește rechizitoriul. Cei trei sunt acuzați de asasinarea unui prizonier bur pe nume Denys Visser (Michael Procanin Bernosky) și de împușcarea ulterioară a altor șase buri capturați ale căror nume sunt necunoscute. Morant și Handcock sunt acuzați de asasinarea reverendului german Daniel Heese.

Bolton începe prin chemarea unor martori care descriu lipsa de disciplină, beția, jafurile pe scară largă și corupția în rândul carabinierilor din Fort Edward. Thomas reușește să le afecteze credibilitatea în timpul interogatoriului. Mărturia se referă apoi la împușcarea lui Visser, care este prezentată în flashback.

La 5 aprilie 1901, prietenul lui Morant, căpitanul Simon Hunt, a condus un grup de bărbați la o fermă din Duiwelskloof cu intenția de a-l captura sau de a-l ucide pe șeful unei unități de comando a burilor, Barend Viljoen. La sosire, carabinierii au găsit ferma plină cu mai mulți bărbați înarmați decât se aștepta. Căpitanul Hunt a fost rănit, prins de focul inamic și lăsat în urmă când le-a ordonat oamenilor să se retragă. Când patrula s-a întors la Fort Edward fără Căpitanul Hunt, Căpitanul Corpului de Informații al armatei Alfred Taylor (John Waters) îi sugerează lui Morant "răzbunarea Căpitanului Hunt". După ce s-a întors la fermă și a găsit corpul căpitanului Hunt mutilat de cuțit, Morant a urmărit, i-a prins în ambuscadă pe oamenii lui Viljoen și i-a forțat să se retragă cu multe pierderi. După ce a capturat un bur pe nume Visser, care purta haina căpitanului Hunt, Morant înfuriat le-a ordonat oamenilor să formeze un pluton de execuție și să-l împuște. Ordinul este executat.

Thomas susține că a existat un ordin de a împușca "toți burii capturați purtând kaki". Spre șocul lui Thomas și al clienților săi, Bolton explică faptul că acele comenzi se aplicau doar burilor care purtau uniforme britanice ca escroci de război (ruse de guerre). Morant justifică împușcarea lui Visser spunând că a luptat împotriva burilor așa cum au luptat cu toții. Când a fost întrebat care dintre regulile angajamentului justifică împușcarea unui prizonier neînarmat, Morant strigă, referindu-se la calibrul puștii sale, "Regula 303". În acea noapte, Thomas îi spune furios lui Morant că a fost cel mai bun martor pe care l-a avut acuzarea până atunci. A doua zi, mărturia se referă la împușcarea celor șase buri.

Taylor mărturisește că Hunt (căpitanul său) a făcut o vizită la sediul central al lordului Kitchener. După întoarcerea lui Hunt la Fort Edward, Morant a adus un grup de buri care se predase, dar căpitanul Hunt i-a spus că noile ordine ale lui Kitchener, transmise prin intermediul colonelului Hubert Hamilton, sunt de a nu mai lua prizonieri. Spunând: "Războiul gentlemenilor s-a încheiat", Hunt i-a împușcat pe toți prizonierii în timp ce Morant privea. Căpitanul Taylor mărturisește că Morant a continuat să ia prizonieri și după uciderea căpitanului Hunt. După aceea, el a ordonat întotdeauna oamenilor săi să-i împuște. La interogatoriu, Bolton îl obligă pe Taylor să admită că așteaptă și o curte marțială pentru împușcarea prizonierilor. Potrivit altor martori, un grup de șase buri dintr-un grup de gherilă s-au apropiat de Fort Edward după moartea căpitanului Hunt, cu steaguri albe. Morant a ordonat dezarmarea acestora, i-a aliniat și i-a împușcat. Un prizonier a alergat și l-a doborât pe Witton, care l-a ucis.

Thomas cere ca lordul Kitchener să fie chemat ca martor. El susține că, deoarece clienții săi au respectat comenzile primite, toate acuzațiile ar trebuie retrase. Denny are un recul la sugestia că Kitchener, un om venerat în tot Imperiul Britanic, ar fi capabil să dea astfel de ordine criminale. La fel de disprețuitor față de idee, Bolton îi spune în privat lui Thomas că, dacă Kitchener depune mărturie și neagă că a dat ordinele, inculpații vor fi condamnați. Îl îndeamnă în zadar pe Thomas să nu mai insiste. În privat, Kitchener îi spune lui Hamilton că, atunci când el a dat ordinul să nu ia prizonieri, a încercat să prevină ca gherilele bure să poarte un război total. Acum însă el încearcă să câștige inimile și mințile poporului afrikaner și să organizeze o conferință de pace. În acest scop, câțiva soldați "trebuie sacrificați" pentru răutățile Armatei Britanice. El îi ordonă lui Hamilton să depună mărturie în locul lui și când Hamilton întreabă ce să spună, Kitchener comentează: "Cred că știi ce să faci".

A doua zi, Hamilton ia poziție și neagă că ar fi vorbit vreodată cu căpitanul Hunt. Morant revoltat se ridică și țipă la colonel că este un mincinos. Denny comentează că nu se va mai discuta despre ordinele de împușcare a prizonierilor. Thomas explică faptul că mărturia lui Hamilton este irelevantă. Important este că clienții săi credeau că astfel de comenzi existau și, prin urmare, nu pot fi trasi la răspundere pentru respectarea lor. Se discută apoi de uciderea reverendului Heese. Caporalul Sharp mărturisește că, cu puțin timp înainte de masacrul celor șase buri, Heese a trecut prin Fort Edward într-o căruță. La scurt timp după plecarea sa, Handcock s-a îndreptat spre Morant, i-a vorbise scurt și apoi a plecat călare, fiind "agitat", în aceeași direcție ca Heese, cu o pușcă în mână. Thomas îl face pe Sharp să-și dezvăluie ura sa față de inculpați.

Morant explică faptul că lui Heese i s-a ordonat să nu vorbească niciodată cu prizonierii în timp ce trecea prin Fort Edward, dar acesta a încălcat ordinul. Când Bolton a întrebat de ce au existat astfel de ordine, Morant explică: "A fost din motive de securitate". Când Morant s-a confruntat cu Heese, i se spusese că prizonierii îl imploraseră pe Heese să se roage cu ei și că nu putea să refuze. Heese a părăsit Fortul și a fost găsit mai târziu, împușcat, de-a lungul drumului. Bolton sugerează că Heese urma să-l informeze pe comandantul său cu privire la planurile lui Morant de a ucide prizonierii și îl acuză pe Morant că i-a ordonat lui Handcock să-l reducă la tăcere. Nemișcat, Morant insistă că ofițerul său comandant știa deja acest lucru și sugerează ca el să fie rechemat din India pentru a depune mărturie. El adaugă: "Nu mă deranjează să aștept".

Apoi Thomas solicită și i se acordă o scurtă pauză pentru a discuta cu Handcock înainte de a-l interoga ca martor. Noaptea târziu, Thomas îl roagă pe Handcock să-i spună adevărul, numind crima lui Heese "cea mai gravă acuzație". A doua zi dimineață, Handcock mărturisește că, atunci când a părăsit Fort Edward, a călătorit la casele a două femei afrikaner căsătorite pentru a le "distra". Când Bolton îl privește mirat, Thomas aduce două scrisori semnate de aceste femei pentru a confirma povestea lui Handcock. Instanța și parchetul acceptă dovezile fără a chema femeile să depună mărturie pentru a le proteja moralitatea acestora.

Mai târziu, în curtea închisorii, Witton se întreabă cu voce tare despre cine l-a ucis cu adevărat pe Heese. Handcock zâmbește și spune: "Eu". Spre groaza lui Witton, Handcock explică că vizitele sale la "cele două doamne prietene" au avut loc ulterior. Când Witton întreabă dacă Thomas știe, Morant explică că nu există niciun motiv pentru ca acesta să știe. Morant explică faptul că Bushveldt Carbineers reprezintă un nou tip de război "pentru un nou secol". Deoarece burii nu poartă uniforme, inamicul este toată lumea, inclusiv bărbați, femei, copii, chiar misionari. De aceea, după ce Heese a părăsit Fortul, Morant i-a spus lui Handcock că el credea că Reverendul era un spion bur și a spus că se îndrepta spre Leydsdorp. Un Handcock fierbinte i-a răspuns că orice se poate întâmpla pe drum, a călărit după Heese și  l-a împușcat.

După un puternic discurs al lui Thomas, inculpații sunt achitați de uciderea lui Heese. Ei sărbătoresc, crezând că au scăpat de pedeapsa cu moartea, dar Taylor îl ia deoparte pe Morant și îi spune că el și Handcock vor fi cu siguranță împușcați. El se oferă să pregătească un cal și spune că mulți dintre paznicii scoțieni din Highland îl simpatizează și-l vor lăsa să fugă în Mozambicul portughez, să ia o navă la Lourenço Marques și să "vadă lumea". Nemișcat, Morant spune: "Am văzut-o". A doua zi dimineață, inculpații sunt condamnați la moarte, în timp ce sentința lui Witton este schimbată la "închisoare pe viață" din mila lui Kitchener. Thomas se repede la sediul central al lui Kitchener pentru a cere o schimbare a pedepselor și constată că lordul Kitchener a plecat deja. I se mai spune că Londra și Guvernul Australiei susțin verdictul și sentințele. Acum va avea loc o conferință de pace și fiecare britanic și colonial va pleca acasă.

A doua zi dimineață, Morant îi spune lui Witton că "noi suntem țapii ispășitori ai Imperiului". Poezia scrisă de Morant Butchered to Make a Dutchmen's Holiday este citită cu voce în timp ce el și Handcock sunt conduși în fața unui pluton de execuție. În timp ce ambii bărbați sunt așezați pentru executarea, Morant le strigă: "Trageți drept, ticăloșilor! Să nu faceți mizerie!" înainte de a fi împușcat.

Înainte de genericul de final, publicul spectator este informat că George Witton a fost eliberat după 3 ani de închisoare la Lewes, după care s-a întors în Australia unde a scris o carte, Scapegoats of the Empire și a decedat în 1943.

Distribuție
Rolurile principale au fost interpretate de actorii:

Producție
Finanțarea filmului a venit de la SAFC, Australian Film Commission, Seven Network și PACT Productions. Distribuitorii de la Roadshow au insistat ca Jack Thompson să aibă un rol. A fost al doilea dintre cele două filme pe care Beresford a intenționat să le facă pentru South Australian Film Corporation. El a vrut să realizeze Breakout, despre Cowra Breakout, dar nu a putut găsi un scenariu despre care să fie mulțumit, așa că a apelat la povestea lui Breaker Morant.

Inexactități istorice

Presupuse presiuni germane
În conversația cu Bolton, Lordul Kitchener afirmă că împăratul german Wilhelm al II-lea a protestat în mod oficial cu privire la uciderea lui Heese, pe care îl descrie ca cetățean german. El spune că poporul german sprijină cauza burilor, că reprezentanții lor aleși râvnesc minele de aur și diamantele republicilor bure și că guvernul britanic se teme de intrarea germanilor în război. Acesta este motivul, explică Kitchener, pentru care Morant, Handcock și Witton au trebuit condamnați cu orice preț.

Potrivit istoricului sud-african Charles Leach, legenda conform căreia Ministerul de Externe german a protestat în legătură cu acest caz "nu poate fi dovedită prin canale oficiale". "Nici o comunicare personală sau directă" între Kaiser și unchiul său, regele Edward al VII-lea, "nu a fost găsită în ciuda legendei larg răspândite că acest lucru a determinat evoluția cazului". La întrebările ridicate în Camera Comunelor la 8 aprilie 1902 s-a insistat că Biroul de Război, Biroul de Externe sau Lordul Kitchener nu au primit "nicio astfel de comunicare pe această temă" "în numele guvernului german".

Conform dreptului internațional, Guvernul Germaniei nu avea motive să protesteze. În ciuda faptului că era atașat al Societății Evanghelice din Berlin (Berliner Missionsgesellschaft), Heese s-a născut în Cape Colony și "era, din punct de vedere tehnic, un britanic și nu un cetățean german". Scena are un sâmbure de adevăr. Leach scrie: "Câțiva eminenți istorici sud-africani, entuziaști locali și comentatori împărtășesc opinia că, dacă nu ar fi fost uciderea lui Heese, niciunul dintre celelalte crime ale carabinierilor Bushveldt nu ar fi fost judecate".

Trei inculpați
Deși numai Morant, Handcock și Witton sunt arătați ca fiind judecați, au existat alți trei inculpați:

 Locotenentul Henry Picton, un ofițer australian de origine britanică al Bushveldt Carbineers, a fost acuzat de Morant, Handcock și Witton pentru "săvârșirea infracțiunii de crimă" pentru că a dat o lovitură de grație după împușcătura prizonierului rănit Floris Visser. Picton a fost găsit vinovat de omucidere și condamnat să fie degradat de Forțele Armate Britanice.
 Căpitanul Alfred James Taylor, comandantul serviciilor de informații militare din Fort Edward, născut în Irlanda, a fost acuzat de uciderea a șase bărbați și băieți afrikaneri neînarmați, furtul banilor și animalelor lor și uciderea ulterioară a unui soldat Bushbind Carbineers. A fost achitat.
 Maiorul Robert Lenehan, comandantul australian al carabinierilor Bushveldt, a fost acuzat că a ascuns uciderea unui soldat al carabinierilor Bushveldt care dezaprobase împușcăturile. Acuzația oficială a fost "Când a fost în serviciu activ, din neglijență culpabilă, nu a făcut un raport pe care era dator să îl facă". Lenehan a fost găsit vinovat și condamnat la mustrare.

Rolul altor ofițeri și al colonelului Hall
Soldații din garnizoana Fort Edward care depun mărturie împotriva lui Morant, Handcock și Witton sunt descriși ca fiind motivați de ranchiună împotriva foștilor lor ofițeri. Un prim exemplu este caporalul Sharp, care își exprimă dorința de a merge în Africa de Sud pentru a servi în plutonul de execuție al inculpaților. Alți martori ai urmăririi penale au fost goniți din Bushveldt Carbineers de către inculpați pentru jafuri, beție și alte infracțiuni. Toți sunt portretizați ca având accente britanice.

Hall, ofițerul la comandă de la Pietersburg este descris pe deplin conștient și chiar complice la tacticile totale de război ale garnizoanei Fort Edward. El este, de asemenea, descris ca fiind trimis în India pentru a fi împiedicat să depună mărturii favorabile apărării. Dar documentele supraviețuitoare arată că arestarea celor șase inculpați a fost ordonată de Hall după o scrisoare a celorlalți ofițeri de la Fort Edward. Scrisoarea, datată 4 octombrie 1901, a fost scrisă de soldatul BVC Robert Mitchell Cochrane, fost judecător de pace din Australia de Vest și semnată de 15 membri ai garnizoanei Fort Edward.

După enumerarea a numeroase crime și tentative de asasinare a prizonierilor buri neînarmați, a civililor locali și a personalului BVC care au dezaprobat, scrisoarea a concluzionat: "Domnule, mulți dintre noi suntem australieni care au luptat aproape tot timpul războiului, în timp ce alții sunt afrikaner care au luptat de la Colenso până acum. Nu ne putem întoarce acasă cu stigmatul acestor crime atașat numelor noastre. De aceea rugăm cu umilință ca o anchetă completă și exhaustivă să fie făcută de ofițerii imperiali pentru ca adevărul să fie susținut și să se facă dreptate. De asemenea, rugăm ca toți martorii să poată fi ținuți în tabără la Pietersburg până la finalizarea anchetei..."

Arestul de la Fort Edward
În timpul conversației sale cu Handcock și Witton în curtea închisorii, Morant susține că armata britanică i-au programat pentru moarte "de când ne-au arestat la Fort Edward", dar arestările lor au avut loc în altă parte. După scrisoare, Hall a convocat pe toți ofițerii și subofițerii de la Fort Edward la Pietersburg la 21 octombrie 1901. Toți au fost întâmpinați de un grup de infanteriști călare la cinci mile în afara Pietersburg în dimineața zilei de 23 octombrie 1901 și "aduși în oraș ca niște criminali". Morant a fost arestat după ce s-a întors din concediu la Pretoria unde s-a dus să rezolve treburile neterminate ale prietenului său decedat, căpitanul Hunt.

Respingerea cererilor de clemență
În film, armata britanică este hotărâtă să-i omoare pe inculpați. Potrivit istoricilor australieni Margaret Carnegie și Frank Shields, Morant și Handcock au respins o ofertă de imunitate de urmărire penală, deoarece procurorii militari ar fi dorit să-i folosească ca martori împotriva maiorului BVC Robert Lenehan, despre care se credea că a dat ordinul de a nu lua prizonieri. Spre sfârșitul filmului, Taylor îl informează pe Morant că armata britanică nu va îndrăzni niciodată să-l cerceteze penal, întrucât el chiar îl poate implica pe Kitchener în crimele de război. Potrivit istoricului sud-african Andries Pretorius, procesul lui Alfred Taylor a avut loc ultimul, deoarece "Procuratura trebuie să fi sperat", în zadar, ca ofițerii acuzați "să-l implice pe Taylor". Refuzul acestora probabil a făcut ca Taylor să nu fi fost condamnat la procesul său.

Căpitanul Hunt
În film, Hunt este descris inexact ca având un accent australian. Potrivit istoricului sud-african Charles Leach, căpitanul Hunt "era un englez, fost locotenent al unei unități de cercetași a lui Kitchener și un călăreț fin". O fotografie a lui Hunt arată, de asemenea, că era mult mai tânăr decât actorul care îl interpretează pe ecran.

Primire
La lansarea sa în 1980, filmul lui Beresford a prezentat povestea vieții lui Morant unui public mondial și "a ridicat imaginile ofițerilor acuzați la nivelul icoanelor și martirilor australieni". În ciuda seriozității dovezilor și a acuzațiilor împotriva lor, unii australieni moderni îl consideră pe Morant și Handcock drept țapi ispășitori sau chiar victime ale crimelor judiciare. Ei continuă să încerce, cu un anumit sprijin public, să obțină o grațiere postumă sau chiar un nou proces.

Potrivit istoricului sud-african Charles Leach, "În opinia multor sud-africani, în special a urmașilor victimelor, precum și a altor persoane implicate în îndepărtata provincie Transvaal de Nord, justiția a fost realizată doar parțial prin aceste procese și prin sentințele rezultate. Încă predomină sentimentul că nu toți cei vinovați au fost judecăți - faimosul căpitan Taylor fiind cel mai evident dintre toate."

The world of PPC is filled with abbreviations and words that make no sense. So here's a glossary of PPC terms to make it easier for you.
Ad Groups- An Ad group is the level after the campaign to further split up what you want to target. For example your campaign could be 'Cameras' and your ad group could be the different types of models you sell.
Ads- The ads that will appear on the search engines that you create.
Ad Scheduling- Running your campaigns to target your ads at certain times during the day.
AdRank- AdRank is how Google determines which Ads appear at the top of the search engine. AdRank is made up of a range of different factors including, Max CPC, Quality score, CTR, Landing page experience and more.
Avg CPC- Average cost per click- Not every click costs the same for an ad or a keyword so this is the average amount over a certain period of time.
Bid- The maximum amount an advertiser is willing to pay for a click.
Broad match- A match type that will show your ad for a wide range of related terms to your keyword.
Budget- A budget is what you want to limit your account costs to be. You can set up budgets for individual campaigns or share one across multiple campaigns.
Campaign- The starting point for PPC. You usually split up what you want to advertise for into campaigns within AdWords.
Clicks- The amount of clicks your ads receive or a certain keyword.
Conversion- A conversion is when a goal is completed. For example for an e-commerce site a conversion would be buying a product. For a service site a conversion could be sending in a contact form. Usually a piece of code must be added to use this feature.
Conversion Rate- The percentage of people who convert.
CPC- Cost per click- How much one click costs when someone clicks on your ad.
CPM- An alternative method to paying for a click. You pay for per 1000 impressions.
CTR- Click through rate- The percentage that shows how many people clicked on your ad after seeing it. For example if your ad had 100 impressions and 10 clicks, your Click Through Rate would be 10%.
Display URL- The web address that people will see on your advert.
Exact match- Within a PPC campaign you can set an exact match keyword. This means your ad will only appear when someone types the keyword in exactly the same.
Impressions- How many times your ad appears on a search engine whether some clicks on it or not.
Keywords – Words that are related to the product that you want to sell or the service that you want to provide.
Landing Page- The first page a consumer is sent to after clicking on an Ad.
Max CPC- Maximum Cost per click- This is the maximum amount of money that you want to spend for click on a specific keyword. You will set higher bids for keywords that are most relevant to your business. Search engines will only charge you for the highest you need to appear at the top. For example if your Max CPC was £1.00 but your competitor had a Max CPC of £0.49 you would only pay £0.50 for that click.
Negative keyword- A word or phrase added to your campaign that will stop your advert being shown if it is included in a search term.
PPC- Pay Per Click – The process of paying for clicks online.
Position- The position that your ad appears after someone has used a search term.
Phrase match- If the keyword chosen is used in the same order within a search term then your ad will be shown. A broader match type than exact match.
Quality Score- Keywords are given a quality score out of 10. The more relevant a keyword is to the ad and the landing page then the higher the quality score. If you have a higher quality score than a competing ad then you can appear higher than them even if your Max CPC is lower than theirs.
Reach- The amount of people exposed to the ad. Usually the number of impressions.
ROI- Return on Investment- A measurement that calculates the cost of a campaign with the success. Usually displayed as a percentage or ratio.
Here at Zelst we pride ourselves on our PPC ability. For more information about PPC and how we could help you and your business visit here.
I suppose this really the most paramount data to me. And additionally i'm lucky viewing an individual's information. Still need to brief review concerning not many basic matters, The web site fashion is right, that well written articles is de facto fantastic.

Since my last post I have been very busy getting ready for Christmas and other things. I know other people are busy this time of year too.
I had a great birthday and celebrated with family and friends on Sunday. On Monday, I enjoyed another fun-filled evening with my best crew-the girls. We enjoyed a nice dinner at Rosa & Rocco's. The food was excellent and the company even better! I was also honored with many birthday wishes on Facebook!
Funny how we all showed up for dinner wearing black! Now...hold on...that does not mean I turned 50! I will admit, it is getting close. Sky diving at 50! Who is in?
My father is finally home from the hospital. He got through bypass surgery only to experience a heart attack a few days later. He is mending and I am grateful that he is on the way to recovery as well as for those of you who kept him in your thoughts and prayers.
I am still taking orientation and mobility training. I do not know where John's patience comes from. We went walking last Wednesday evening. It was an interesting experience. When we came to a busy street that we needed to cross (and we had the right of way), he said, don't worry they will stop because you have a white cane. When that did not happen, he said, they stop in Columbus. I said, people in Columbus carry guns...here they just run you over. I think he thought I was serious at first.
He thought we should report the offenders. I asked how and he said we could turn in their license numbers. I had to laugh because you can't do that if you can't see the number. He laughed too and reminded me that he could see the numbers.
I strolled along with my marshmallow tipped cane down several streets. I ran into numerous trash bags and cans because it was the night before the trash run. This should not happen. Garbage should be in the tree lawn close to the curb...not on the sidewalk.
Many of the sidewalks in Marion are dangerous. I hugged a tree a couple of times. Kissing an Oak tree was not on my wish list and there was no mistletoe!
Did you know that those orangish tile looking things with bumps on them are for the blind? You see them around the courthouse and many places where there is new construction or pavement replacement. I thought they were for wheelchairs. I thought it was to keep them from rolling into the street at intersections. Who knew? My feet can now do the braille happy dance. Joey will be so proud!
My world is changing. I have received so many wonderful visual aids. I can read a menu again.... I can read! I can battle the sunlight.
In October I went for my functional and clinical evaluations in Columbus. I had the opportunity to see some of the new technology available to those that are visually impaired or blind. I was absolutely wonderstruck. I had the chance to use some of the equipment while I was there. I worked with Diane who is wonderful. After my evaluation she recommended a much larger computer monitor, ZoomText software, low vision keyboards, a CCTV, computer glasses, special sunglasses, a portable video magnifier, a couple of stand magnifiers, special flashlights, a telescope, orientation and mobility training and more.
I was blessed, Vision Rehabilitation Services approved everything that was recommended and I am now a member of the enhanced vision tech world.
I have the honor and privilege of seeing things I have not seen in many years. It is overwhelming!
My Christmas wishes are simple. I could list them here but I would like to hear what your Christmas wishes are to share in my next blog post. Please share some of your wishes with us.
May you all feel loved and blessed.
Great work as always my friend! Yes, I can not wait to see you do a "Happy Braille dance". You are adjusting so well and I am so very proud of you.
As for my Christmas wish, it is that everyone would get to be with the people they love and care about. That has and will always mean more to me than anything else! :) Time with one another is the best gift of all.
Thank you Joey! Thanks also for sharing your Christmas wish!

Erdoğan says Turkey aims $100B trade volume with Russia
ECONOMY Anadolu Agency
Published April 08,2019
Speaking to the reporters during an inter-delegations meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in Monday's speech that Ankara had been planning to increase the trade volume with Russia to 100 billion dollar in the near future.
Turkey aims at a $100 billion trade volume with Russia and will set new targets for the near future, Turkey's president said on Monday.
Speaking to reporters during an inter-delegationary meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told how ground was broken for the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in Turkey and an offshore section of the TurkStream pipeline was completed.
"As of the end of this year, we aim to complete the inland section of the TurkStream pipeline," Erdoğan said.
This is the third meeting of the two leaders since the beginning of 2019.
Erdoğan later attended the 8th High-Level Cooperation Council meeting between the two countries.
"Turkey aims to provide Turkish firms with opportunities in trade, agriculture, and customs that Russia gives to third countries," Erdoğan told a press conference afterwards.
Stressing that meetings of Turkish and Russian businesspeople are a priority for both countries, Erdoğan said the meeting provided an opportunity to hear businesspeople's views and also provided high-level political support.
Later, Erdoğan and Putin will attend an opera called Troy, based on the ancient story taking place in what is now Turkey, in the opening ceremony of the mutual year of Turkish and Russian culture and tourism.
The opera will be performed by Turkish singers at Russia's Bolshoi Theatre.
2019 was declared a mutual year of Turkish and Russian culture and tourism in both countries.
