One adult and two teenagers who police say broke into a Stillman Valley home to steal firearms this month face first-degree murder charges in the shooting death of a 14-year-old accomplice.
Cody Wayne Moore, 18, Nathan A. Whitmire, 16, and Justin D. Doyle, 15, all of Rockford, also are charged with home invasion and residential burglary stemming from the crime, during which Travis Castle, of Durand, was killed. Officials announced the heightened charges Monday after an Ogle County grand jury indictment.
A man staying at the house during the April 6 break in shot Castle twice in self-defense, police say, killing him. The three are charged and will be tried as adults, Ogle County State's Attorney Ben Roe said, declining to comment further.
Castle's father, Pete Castle, said the murder charges offer only fleeting solace from the confusion he feels about the circumstances of his son's death.
The deadly night began, police say, when Moore drove Castle, Whitmire and Doyle to a house on North Meridian Road, knowing the homeowner was hospitalized. Moore allegedly stayed in the car and waited down the road while the others collected numerous firearms from the house and took other items, including some money and a money clip.
Castle, according to police, discovered the houseguest during the burglary and pointed a gun at the man, who was also armed. The man then fired two shots at Castle, one grazing his neck and the other striking him fatally in chest. After the shooting, police say, Doyle and Whitmire fled to Moore's waiting vehicle, and the trio headed back to Rockford.
All three teens are in the Ogle County Jail, being held on $1 million bond each.
No charges have been filed against the housesitter, whose name officials have not released.

Schools That Are On ASUU Strike
April 26, 2022 May 2, 2022 Olushola Otenaike
If you want to know about schools that are on ASUU strike, this piece is for you.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is a trade union affiliated with the Nigerian Labour Congress.
It comprises the teaching staff of Nigerian federal and state universities.
Hence, lecturers of federal and state universities should be participating in the current strike.
However, lecturers of some state universities are not participating in the ongoing strike.
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (formerly Anambra State University)
Lecturers of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (formerly Anambra State University), Igbariam, Anambra State are not part of the ongoing strike.
According to Sun News, students of the institution finished their first-semester examination on Friday, April 22, 2022.
The Public Relations Officer of the school, Harrison Madubueze, confirmed to journalists that the school is in session.
Furthermore, a lecturer in the institution confirmed that almost all lecturers of the university were working.
He said that they had no plan to be part of the strike.
Rivers State University (RSU)
Lecturers of Rivers State University are also not part of the ongoing strike.
They claimed that the grudges of ASUU are already fixed by the governor of the state.
Governor Nyesom Wike
In a meeting held on Wednesday, March 23, 2022, members of ASUU in the university refused to join the strike.
Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt
The Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt is another institution owned by the River State government.
Just like their counterparts at River State University, lecturers at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education are not taking part in the current ASUU strike.
They also claimed that they are already enjoying what the national body of ASUU is fighting for.
Osun State University (UNIOSUN)
Also, Osun State University's lecturers do not join the current strike.
ASUU chairman in the university, Dr Wende Olaosebikan, said that they have not discussed the strike.
Another lecturer claimed that they were earning more than their federal counterparts.
He said they started earning better when the governor extended the implementation of the new minimum wage to the school.
Kogi State University, Ayingba
Learning and teaching activities are currently going on at Kogi State University, Ayingba.
The state government banned union activities in higher institutions owned by the state in 2017.
As a result of this, lecturers of Kogi State University are not part of the strike.
Ebonyi State University (EBSU)
Academic activities are going on at the Ebonyi State University (EBSU).
Lecturers of the institution are not joining the strike.
The caretaker chairman of ASUU in the school, Dr Chinedu Nwambeke, said that the national body was not there for them in times of need.
As a result of this, they are not going to be part of the current strike.
All private universities in the country are carrying on with their full academic activities.
This is because lecturers in these schools are not members of ASUU.
Schools that are on ASUU strike are all federal and state universities except the ones mentioned above.

DePaul Law Alumni Spotlight: Lisa Katz, JD
Breanne Vaclavik / 8/26/2014 / Twitter / Facebook
Lisa Katz earned her J.D. and Certificate in Health Law from DePaul University College of Law in 1996 and currently practices law in the healthcare group at Polsinelli PC.
EP: How did you get involved in health law?
LK: I had an interest in exploring the field of health law before I began law school, which is one of the reasons I chose to attend DePaul. After participating in the write-on competition for the Journal of Health Care Law and becoming a member, I became a Health Law Institute (HLI) Fellow. I also participated in the American's with Disabilities Act Clinic, which I found very valuable. Moreover, I became the first DePaul HLI Fellow to extern in the general counsel's office at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where I was able to gain experience in healthcare by working on a variety of projects in the areas of clinical integration, hospital policy and procedures, and regulatory compliance issues. During my third year of law school, I chose a health law related topic for my senior seminar paper, namely, regulation of pharmaceutical off-labeling.
EP: What do you do on a day-to-day basis as a health care attorney?
LK: I tackle a variety of issues on a day-to-day basis. I represent hospitals, physician groups and banks that lend to healthcare borrowers. On behalf of my healthcare provider clients, I interpret regulatory, licensure and compliance issues as well as negotiate, review, draft and revise various contractual and governance documents, including but not limited to, professional service agreements and medical staff by-laws. Currently, I am developing a niche with emerging HIPAA and privacy issues. For example, I am working on several projects involving "meaningful use" in relation to electronic health records and interpreting the criteria used to determine whether and how eligible professionals can attest to meaningful use and receive incentive money from government and how this affects contractual relationships among employers and employees.
EP: What advice would you give to students interested in a career in health law?
LK: I would recommend that students do not limit themselves to one, specific area; instead, think globally. Particularly, think about other industries that are ancillary to health care that are not necessarily traditional healthcare industries. For example, I branched out into the financial services industry by negotiating and documenting loan transactions on behalf of banks lending to a range of healthcare providers such as physician groups, long term care, skilled nursing, and assisted living facilities.
EP: What is the Illinois Association of Healthcare Attorneys (IAHA) and how can students interested in health law get involved?
LK: Becoming a member of IAHA is a great way for students interested in health law to participate in an organization on a more junior level. For example, IAHA offers student members the opportunity to attend quarterly lectures on emerging issues in the health care field and to join committees, including the Symposium Committee where members are tasked with planning the Annual Health Law Symposium.
Last fall, Carolyn Metnick from Barnes & Thornberg and I, along with the help of the IAHA Membership Committee, launched the IAHA Mentorship Program at the Annual Health Law Symposium. The mentoring program pairs student and junior attorney members with more senior healthcare attorneys either in firms, government, or in-house, to facilitate targeted dialogue among all IAHA members about a wide range of issues involved with working in the field of health law.
You can find more information about the IAHA at www.iahanet.org!

If you want a real GM experience, and something unique to Scoresheet, please check out our league and let me know if you would be interested.
We don't have keepers like a normal Scoresheet league, so there are constant free agents up for grabs. And, you are not relegated to the luck of a draw with a draft order. You have your own control of bidding on free agents every year to try and get who you want.
Some of the free agents that are already guaranteed up for grabs in 2017. Others will come up after owners make decisions on contracts in December.
Trout, Kershaw, Goldschmidt, Rizzo, Sale, Kluber, Cabrera, Scherzer, Encarnacion, Lindor, Salazar, Hamels.
This is not a league where one person can sit on 13 keepers. You have to manage a cap, contracts, farm system, the whole shebang. It truly is a real GM MLB experience, and something you will have fun with during the offseason.
----------Every year, auctions for free agents, where the highest bidder gets the player. You may then choose to sign that player for a period of up to four years, at an increasing salary (discounted from normal) every year.
----------Renew players at the end of the year on a qualifying-type offer, where you can keep them an extra year, at a large salary increase.
----------Minor league system, where you may have up to 21 players (not on salary), and upon activation they are given a set salary (very low).
----------Trade deadline of July 31 and August Waiver claims, just like real MLB.
In summary, you can build your team up through cheap youth, spend high on free agents if you wish, trade your farm system for a rental player to go for the championship.
There's basically nothing you can't do short of talking to the actual players themselves that doesn't mock the real MLB experience.
Please e-mail me if you have serious interest, and thanks for checking us out.


A man has been arrested in connection to the robbery of a Circle K in east Charlotte.
The robbery took place at the convenience store at approximately 1:00 a.m. on Monday morning, January 15, 2016. According to police, the suspect arrived at the location at 7225 Albemarle Road and proceeded into the store where he held a gun to the clerk at the counter and demanded that they open the cash register. An undisclosed amount of money was stolen from the register before the suspect fled in his vehicle.
The clerk was able to write down the license plate number of the suspect's vehicle which assisted police in finding the vehicle before the night was out. Officers located the car and attempted a traffic stop. The suspect refused to stop, leading police on a chase before he lost control of the vehicle and crashed it at a location on Idlewild Road. Police then identified and arrested 40-year-old Melvin Lorenzo Jones Jr.
The suspect was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, careless and reckless driving, driving while license revoked, and operating a motor vehicle while fleeing law enforcement.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.

CredForce makes it to the list of India's Top BPM Solution Providers – 2016
Gurgaon, India—September 27, 2016:CredForce, the global credentialing giant with the world's largest consortium of international certification bodies in its fold, has just been featured in CIOReview's latest issue themed on India's 20 Most Promising BPM Solutions Providers for 2016! One of India's premier publications for Information Technology business leaders and a highly valued publication among India's premier CXOs, the CIOReview handpicked CredForce for its elite list after a rigorous evaluation of the contribution and impact CredForce has begun making not only to the business and practices in the BPM space, but also to enterprise management excellence and professional careers generally. Notably, CredForce had made to the prestigious list of "100 Fastest Growing Companies" in the BRICS economies last year. The latest CIOReview feature can be found in the September 2016 issue of the magazine.
The CIOReview feature is yet another strong indication of CredForce's growing international influence and sustained leadership in the credentialing and capability validation space. Sweeping a broad spectrum of professions ranging from BPM, digital marketing and data science to talent management, customer service and cloud computing among others, CredForce has been rated among India's most innovative and disruptive BPM solution providers by the CIOReview.
This recognition is another thumping ratification of CredForce's ever strengthening capacities and positioning as the first and only BPM specialist for the global capability-validation and certification industry. Massively and seamlessly integrated across the entire value chain of the knowledge-centered credentialing industry, CredForce is also emerging as the world's leading provider of credentialing solutions for a wide range of emerging professions and new industry spaces.
The CIOReview feature not only specially notes CredForce's only-of-its-kind technology platform, but also talks about the company's extraordinary accomplishments in aspects like rapid knowledge enhancement, quality auditing, assessments and credentialing systems development. The feature also mentions the national and global reach of the CredForce platform, something that is helping both governments and enterprises create a unified certification mechanism for their workforce. Several Education and Vocational Training Institutes, including Ministries of Education, have already implemented the CredForce model and have leveraged it to make significant strides in their own skill development programs and campaigns.
"This recognition reinforces the fact that we've succeeded in our efforts to build a first-and-only-of-its-kind conglomerate of global certification authorities from multiple industry verticals. The CredForce team is committed to continue its pursuit of excellence and innovation in knowledge based capability validation for our customers across geographies and industries. I congratulate every member of the team for their contribution to this success", says Rajiv Gupta, President and Group CEO of the company.
Notably, CredForce was ranked in the global "BRICS100 Fastest Growing Companies" in 2014, and also made headlines when it received recognition from SiliconIndia while making it to their list of "20 most promising BPM companies of 2016" for their innovations in the enterprise certification space.

The Future of Work and Your Place in It


Organic gardening is something that many people have but never actually try to accomplish.
Your plants will respond better to gradual changes in temperature or condition.Put them outdoors in the sun outside for a couple of hours on the first day. Over one week, slowly increase the amount of time that you leave them outside. By the end of the week, the plants can make that big move without a problem!
Use climbers if you want to cover walls and fences. Many climbers are so robust that they can cover an unattractive wall or fence in as little as one growing season. They may grow up through some existing shrubs and trees, or grow through trees and shrubs. Some must be tied to supports, whereas certain climbers attach themselves to a surface with tendrils or twining stems. Some climbers that have proven to be reliable are honeysuckle, clematis, jasmine, climbing roses, and wisteria.
When gardening, beware of stink bugs and other insects, especially during Autumn. Stink bugs like to reside in tomatoes, beans, tomatoes, as well as many fruits. If they are left in the garden, they can decimate your garden, so it's best to do all you can to get rid of them.
TIP! Regular weeding is essential to the health of any garden. Weeds can be extremely detrimental to your garden.
Be sure to get rid of the weeds growing in your efforts to banishing weeds! Weeds can turn a healthy garden into a total wasteland.White vinegar can be used as a good solution. White vinegar can kill those pesky weeds. If you are too busy to pull weeds by hand, douse them with a white vinegar solution.
If you learn that your soil has a high amount of alkaline, try mixing some coffee grounds into your garden's soil. This is an easy and inexpensive method to increase the acid that your soil. This simple act can lead to vegetables you grow healthier and more appealing.
Get some gardening knee pads if you have low-growing plants. Having a pair of knee pads will cushion the knees in comfort.
A great garden starts from seeds. The most "green" way to start a new garden is starting from seeds.The plastic used in nurseries often end up in landfills, so it is best to start with the seeds or buy from nurseries who use organic materials in packaging their plants.
TIP! When mowing your lawn, avoid mowing the grass too short. If you allow your grass to grow a little longer, the roots will go down deeper into the dirt, helping the grass grow better and remain hydrated.
If you are planning on growing peas, consider starting them indoors instead of planting them outside. The seeds will grow better germination rate if planted there first. The seedlings will also be heartier, which means that they can better resist disease and attacks from pests. You can transplant the seedlings outdoors after they are sturdy enough.
If you are just starting out, make sure you heed all of the directions on fertilizer and chemical labels. If you fail to do this, you could cause unnecessary skin irritations, the most common of which is irritated skin. Keep your body safe and follow instructions.
TIP! Make sure that your deciduous shrubs are protected. Shrubs in pots especially need special care in the colder weather.
If you keep these various tips in mind, gardening should not be so daunting. Apply the wisdom you have learned here to your home and yard, and you can enjoy pure wholesome foods in your kitchen in not time at all.

By integrating the cables inside the Boom and use standard IEC connectors we meet international standards which ensures that we can use our certifications in selected regions. The continuous rotation system is made to last and has been rated for over 10.000.000 revolutions, this ensures the longevity of the Boom and the Motion Platform.
The small and minimalistic design is key as we wanted it to fit the theme and small size of the RC4. This model is the smallest and requires you to install it on the ceiling.
No configuration
You will not need to assemble any mechanical or electrical parts, everything works out of the box. We use standard IEC plugs for easy installation.
We have more information about the boom and the different options we offer HERE

Rolled ankle or sprained ankle is the same thing. It is an ankle injury that can put you out of action for 4-6 weeks if you just follow the R.I.C.E. protocol that so many doctors and other experts push.
RICE stands for Rest, Ice Compression and Elevation and never has been a rehab method. It is a first response to injury, not just ankle injury but any injury.
The RICE protocol will have you waiting for the swelling to go down and resting until everything gets better on its own. Not gonna happen.
The longer you wait to start rehab, the more scar tissue your body builds around the injury and the harder it will be to restore range of motion and get back to your life.
To get on the road to recovery faster, you need to get the swelling down as fast as possible. The only way that I've found to reduce swelling is to use an ice bath and add movement.
The problem with adding movement is that it hurts. The main reason your body swells is to protect the injured ankle from additional injury. Your body tells you to stop doing what you're doing because it feels that additional damage is occurring to your ankle.
By using some simple bio-mechanical principles, you can get the movement you need to "pump" out the swelling without the pain. You can learn the specific method by checking out my rolled ankle treatment program here.
Once the swelling is gone, you can start to restore strength and range of motion.
Other rehab programs have you doing a large number of exercises and you always wonder if you are doing them correctly. The method that I use, there is no way you can do the exercises wrong and in fact, there are only 2 exercises. One of the exercises accomplishes what other programs take 5 or 6 exercises to accomplish.
So if you want to get true, long lasting results using just 2 simple and easy to perform exercises, then you need to check out my ankle rehab program.

Q: Help needed in NonLinearModelFit I am trying to fit my experimental data to a very complicated equation which contains digamma function. I tried to learn from various discussions about fitting but I could not quite figure out how to deal with it. Posted are my experimental data and function I want to fit with. I am a new Mathematica user. Can anyone help me?
data= {{37.6, 0}, {32.1, 1}, {25.6, 2}, {20.1, 3}, {15.2, 4}, {11.1,4.5}, {8.4, 5}, {5.6, 5.5}, {2.1, 6.5}, {0, 7.}}

Function I want to fit is rather bulky defined as follows,
eq=(0.564 + a) (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p1] + 1.96351) + (0.564 - a)(Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p2] + 1.96351) + 0.44 (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p1] + 1.96351) (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p2] + 1.96351)== 0

a= (-3.11*^11 + 0.52 (1.97*^11 +
  1.82*^15 y (1 - b)))/(2.25*^24 + (1.97*^11 + 1.82*^15 y (1 - b))^2)^0.5;
p1= (1/x)3.81*10^-12 (1.51*10^12 + (2.25*10^24 + (1.97*10^11 + 1.82*10^15 y (1 - b))^2)^0.5 + 1.82*10^15 y (1 + b));

P2=(1/x)3.81*10^-12 (1.51*10^12 - (2.25*10^24 + (1.97*10^11 + 1.82*10^15 y (1 - b))^2)^0.5 + 1.82*10^15 y (1 + b));

The fitting parameter is only 'b' and plot should be y vs x.
I tried this:
NonLinearModelFit[data,(0.564 + a) (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p1] + 1.96351) + (0.564 - a)(Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p2] + 1.96351) + 0.44 (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p1] + 1.96351) (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p2] + 1.96351), {b},{x,y}]

Unfortunately, it gives nothing.

A: You have a data point {0, y} even though the formula contains Log[x/41]. I exclude that data point. Also you have used P2 and p2 interchangeably. I remove the == from eq because it should only be there when you want something to be exact equal (except for rounding error).
eq = (0.564 + a) (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p1] + 1.96351) +
     (0.564 - a) (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p2] + 1.96351) +
            0.44 (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p1] + 1.96351)
                 (Log[x/41] + PolyGamma[0.5 + p2] + 1.96351);

a = (-3.11*^11 + 0.52 (1.97*^11 + 1.82*^15 y (1 - b)))/
     (2.25*^24 + (1.97*^11 + 1.82*^15 y (1 - b))^2)^0.5;
p1 = (1/x) 3.81*10^-12 (1.51*10^12 + (2.25*10^24 + (1.97*10^11 +
           1.82*10^15 y (1 - b))^2)^0.5 + 1.82*10^15 y (1 + b));
p2 = (1/x) 3.81*10^-12 (1.51*10^12 - (2.25*10^24 + (1.97*10^11 +
           1.82*10^15 y (1 - b))^2)^0.5 + 1.82*10^15 y (1 + b));

err[b_?NumericQ] = Total[Map[eq^2 /. {x -> #[[1]], y -> #[[2]]} &, data[[;; -2]]]];

NonlinearModelFit only works if you can solve the equation for y. I don't think it's possible so the function err computes sum of eq squares instead, which can be minimized with respect to b (you want eq to be close to 0). Looking at
ListPlot[Table[{b, err[b]}, {b, -2, 2, 1/10}]]

The minimum seems to be about b==0, so we get:
FindMinimum[err[b], {b, 0.00001, 0}]

{428.80412, {b -> -0.000056068596}}

What: AFI FEST
Where: Hollywood, CA
The heart of Hollywood has been pulsating even louder than usual lately. The American Film Institute (AFI) took over the TCL Chinese 6, TCL Chinese, and the Egyptian Theaters to showcase the best in 2013 cinema from around the world. What is already one of the most eclectic and congested parts of town, an 8 day film festival added to the Hollywood & Highland mix makes for an exciting, though admittedly, exhausting experience. One can't help but sit and people watch – overstimulated by everything from the most obvious of tourists, to street performers and impersonators alike, to cliché "industry" types and other cinephiles waiting in festival lines hours at a time. The bright lights and crowds move about on Hollywood Boulevard just beyond, a frenetic nature in the air.
Within the chaotic atmosphere, you find the quiet. For me, the quiet came as the theater darkened, comfortably seated, my favorite person next to me, the first frame – at once dark – illuminates the big screen. It's still pretty mesmerizing to me given the number of films I've seen in my life; in particular, over the last 10 years or so; how given the right circumstances I'm instantly transported into another world, temporarily leaving my own.
This year, a conscious decision was made to see the smaller foreign and independent american films over fighting for tickets and seats to the large galas and world premieres. This found me taking in films from all over the world from established directors to newer emerging filmmakers.
And yet, among the frenzy, the quiet, the excitement, the exhaustion; something felt different about this particular festival season.
Last year and in years past at AFI, there were films I knew while watching them unfold would be among my favorites of the year because I was already so lost in their mystic.
The Hunt, in 2012, comes to mind. The moment Mads Mikkelsen walks into the town church and sits in a pew among his peers who have ostracized him so deeply in the wake of false child molestation accusations, his eyes so rich in emotion, I can still feel that experience a year later. That scene remains one of the finest acting performances I've ever seen. I recall seeing Central Park Five that same year, unbelievably upset by such a story; infuriated with our legal system. A system that is still failing these young men wrongfully accused of a crime with no retribution, not even so much as a simple "I'm sorry."
In 2011, Snowtown was so well-crafted and got under my skin so deeply, I remember physically hating the movie. I was in such a conflict as I cast my ballot at the end of the film. I wanted to say the film was awful. And it was. But only in sharing a visually graphic recreation of unfathomable acts that happened in real life. It was at that exact moment, I learned you can equally hate and like a film. I loathed what this film represented and how it made me feel, but it was so accomplished that I had to put my judgement aside about the narrative, and focus on the storytelling.
In 2010, my first official full AFI fest experience – I found myself taking in the galas and premieres to some of the best films of that year. Blue Valentine not only painted an unflinching portrait of a deteriorating relationship, but it introduced me to Ryan Gosling himself (*swooning*) during the Q&A afterward. The Fighter, I recall was two hours of pure unadulterated fun. The audience so engrossed, we cheered all the way through…and did so out loud. This is where Melissa Leo officially became my hero.
I can't say I walked away from AFI FEST 2013 feeling this way, as if I'll look back with the same fondness at key moments so vivid, it's almost as if it just happened. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed all of the films that I saw this year when I think about them individually. They each had a captivating narrative and a visual style that aptly told their story. However, collectively, when I look back over the 6 films that I took in this year, the overall power of a cinematic experience didn't hit me as profoundly as in previous years. Perhaps I should have taken in more of the galas and premieres to create those larger than life moments, mixed in with the quiet ones to create a more memorable time. Perhaps I should have simply chosen a different selection of films to see altogether.
Nonetheless, I always applaud the art of making a film – knowing how much time, passion, and effort goes into crafting words onto a page, cultivating a motion picture for audience consumption. That alone is no small feat.
Here are the 6 films I saw at AFI Fest this year, ranked from my favorite to my least favorite.
#1 | Like Father, Like Son
#2 | Gloria
#3 | Blue Ruin
#4 | Stranger by the Lake
#5 | Breathe In
#6 | The Unknown Known
As we near the end of the year, Like Father, Like Son and perhaps even, Gloria, have a shot at making my top 10 of 2013. We'll have to see how the next 7 weeks play out at the movies.
Until next year…

I'm starting to get all my oscar movies in. I saw 12 Years A Slave which was hard to watch but brilliant acting. I still haven't seen Captain Phillips and I want to see Dallas Buyer's Club this weekend. Maybe today…
candiceantoinette
12 Years A Slave was very difficult to watch, but such an important film to see nonetheless, it will surely get a salute with a nomination from the Academy. Dallas Buyer's Club is next on my list, though I'm taking a short break from movies for the immediate moment. I'm burned out from the festival. The next few weeks should be very exciting in cinema! Have a nice weekend, T!

The Exception to the Rulers is a fast-paced 350+ page expose. Part first-person on-the-ground reporting, part old-fashioned muckraking, the book chronicles the struggles of what Goodman calls, "the silenced majority."
"Pick up this book, shake your head in disbelief and disgust as you read it, and then...go raise some hell!"
"Hard-hitting, no-holds barred brand of reporting...fierce and tireless."
"Amy Goodman continues the quest for global justice and awareness by bringing us stories and a perspective that we don't normally get from the mainstream media."

'You block documents, we block streets'
Illegal migrants in Calabria and Puglia in Italy, engaged in protests and blocked the streets as they demanded that they be given "documents" right away.

Former Interior Minister and leader of the League Party, Matteo Salvini tweeted a video of the protests. In the text of his tweet he said "illegal immigrants attack our police with the slogan: 'Documents immediately for all'. But for the left, Italy's priority is to abolish the Security Decrees."
"You block documents, we block the streets!" The illegals also shout: "We have the right to have documents and housing! We have the right to have documents for all immediately! Housing for all!
"This morning, we want documents for all immediately! Documents for all immediately! Documents for all immediately!" they chant.
When asked why they were protesting, one of the migrants replied: "I don't know."
Instead he wanted to know: "Who are you? The journalists replied that they were from a newspaper, but the protester could give no clear answer as to why they were demonstrating about "documents".

Zveřejnil(a) Alessandro Morelli dne Úterý 10. prosince 2019
The leader of the League is still in trouble for having blocked 131 migrants aboard the ship Gregoretti, and is being charged with kidnapping. Salvini spoke in Fuori dal Coro, on broadcaster Rete 4: "Today I received a complaint: I am supposedly guilty of the crime of aggravated kidnapping for having deprived 131 immigrants present on the Gregoretti ship of their personal freedom, and risk up to 15 years in prison."
On July 28 this year, the Gregoretti ship with 131 migrants on board they picked up in the middle of the sea, sailed to Italy. Being a military vehicle, the Coast Guard ship headed first to the port of Lampedusa and then to the port of Augusta, with the hope of landing the migrants.
Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli appealed to the EU Member States to take charge of the people on board the ship: "Gregoretti has moored at the port of Augusta, as is normal for a military ship. Now the EU should respond, because the migration issue concerns the whole continent". But nobody answered.
The EU simply turned a deaf ear to Italy while NGOs started ranting against the methods put in place by the then Interior Minister, Salvini. After days of a tug of war, the migrants were taken off the boat.
The attorney's office of Syracuse opened a file on the Gregoretti ship to check the sanitary conditions of the ship and of course those of the people on board. The attorney of Syracuse, Fabio Scavone declared that the sanitary situation was no longer tenable and Salvini was blamed for this.
On September 21, the former Minister of the Interior received a letter delivered at home from the Catania public prosecutor's office.
The Catania ministers' tribunal asked the president of the Senate for authorization to charge Salvini. In short, all the charges against him will be reinstated. "I think it is a shame," said the leader of the League. "A minister who defended the borders of his country could be tried for dealing with the security of his citizens. I would like to know how much this process will cost the community. I am sorry that Italian courts, today so clogged up, have to waste time investigating a minister who did what the Italians asked him to do."
He added: "In a normal country, Carola [Rackete] would be in jail, and with her maneuver, docking in a port that had been expressly forbidden to her, she even risked killing border agents".
Meanwhile, mass rejections of illegal migrants is alleged to have been in violation of international law, reported by Italian daily La Repubblica, which is the accusation contained in a report written by Charles Heller of Forensic Oceanography, based at Goldsmiths, at the University of London.
According to this report, on November 7, 2018, to coordinate the rescue operation of a group of migrants then brought back to Libya by the Panamanian merchant ship Nivin, such transgressions were committed.
According to the substantial report on migrants, Italy and Europe had applied this "model of practice", under Salvini 13 times in the last year. The very serious accusations come from Forensic Oceanography and the Forensic Architecture Agency.
But what is the institution that accuses the Italian government and who is it financed by? The Forensic Architecture Agency, says it "is a research agency, based at Goldsmiths, University of London. We undertake advanced spatial and media surveys on cases of human rights violations, with and on behalf of communities affected by political violence, organizations for human rights, prosecutors, environmental justice groups and media organizations".
The agency uses an open source survey, through which it realizes and constructs figurative and physical models, 3D animations and cartographic platforms. Clearly its research requires quite a lot of money.
The most curious thing about the agency is found, in fact, under "funding": in addition to the European Research Council, we find a series of "liberal" foundations that have a distinct political agenda, undoubtedly contrary to the policies of sovereign nations on immigration and closed ports.
Among these we find the Oak Foundation, the David & Elaine Potter Foundation but, above all, the Open Society Foundation of the financier George Soros, also financier of the American Democratic Party.
Through his "philanthropic" network, Soros floods Italy with money to shape it in its image and likeness, and reveals a very specific project that, beyond the strenuous efforts of the progressives, threatens to undermine Italy's sovereignty.
Between 2017 and 2018, according to the survey published by the Adnkronos agency, there is talk of over eight and a half million dollars paid into the coffers of those institutions that set themselves the goal of creating a "more open and welcoming society". In short: open borders.

The current culture of the illegal migrants that are being run by pro-mass migration NGOs is one of undeserved privilege, and at the expense of the Italian taxpayer. Not only in their countries of origin, but in Italy as well, they are being constantly indoctrinated by globalist NGOs that they have a perfect right to enter the EU illegally and then live off the European taxpayer, even if they have no basis for residence, or any skills to contribute to the Italian economy.
Soros money and its influence is a subtheme of this whole article. It fuels the pro-migration NGOs, the so-called "rescue" ships and operations in the Mediterranean, and those who are now stirring up illegal migrants in demonstrations in Calabria and Puglia. And as this Free West Media article clearly also shows, it also funds an NGO behind the reinstatement of charges against Salvini. There are many hidden hands here, and it is always for the better that they are exposed.

The former Bingham school will soon be energy efficient housing for seniors.
Construction has started at the former Bingham school in Bristol, CT, and once it's complete, the former school will be affordable apartments for Connecticut's growing senior citizen population. The same is planned for the former O'Connell school, also in Bristol. The plans for the former schools' conversion to senior apartments were developed by Bristol Enterprises. The entity is a unique public-private partnership between private developer Park Lane Group in Litchfield, CT, and the Maynard Road Corporation, the non-profit development entity wholly owned by the Meriden Housing Authority.
Another unique aspect of the schools' redevelopment is that both buildings will feature several energy saving systems including geothermal HVAC, solar PV, and co-generation units. The energy systems will help keep rents low for the senior population the buildings will serve, and reduce the environmental footprint of the buildings.
The energy systems are being developed and implemented by Advanced Energy Group (AEG) and Private Energy Partners (PEP), in conjunction with Geothermal Innovations (GI), PurePoint Energy, and others. The installation of the vertical geothermal pipe began in late April, and is also serving as a training opportunity for several individuals from Connecticut, New York, and other locations to learn the installation process of GI's patented GI4 pipe that was designed to greatly reduce the amount of wells needed to be drilled for a geothermal installation, which in turn reduces the costs.

Trainees will also be taking a course to become certified geothermal installers by the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA), which is the gold standard in terms of ground source heat pump technology, research, and implementation. The purpose of getting the trainees IGSHPA certified is that these individuals can learn the process of installing geothermal, and eventually be able to lead their own crews during an installation.
Check back for updates as the project moves forward!

I posted about modifying a HTTP response back in June 2014 here.
This month, I had to put together a HTTP transformation rule that would update a Request header. In particular, the Request header was "out of spec" from the HTTP rules for a Content-Type.
It simply updated the request header.
HTTPRequestChange elements and then process templates.
should happen within this template.
In the POP, use the Value of "Request" to ensure that the transformation occurs on the Request, not the response.

Emancipation Day 2022, 2023 and 2024 in the Bahamas
The first Monday in August is Emancipation Day in the Bahamas to commemorate the end of slavery in the Bahamas Islands in 1834.
2022 1 Aug Mon Emancipation Day
However, even though the Abolition Act had abolished slavery in the British Empire formally on 1 August 1834, it took until 1838 until all the slaves were actually freed. This was due not only to slow communications in those days but also because "former" slaves had to work so many extra years to compensate their "former" master for the "loss" of them once they went free.
Slavery had been in existence in Bahamas since the English settled the islands in the mid-1600's. But it finally ended after 200 years of oppression. And additionally, over 400 slaves were freed off US ships that ported or shipwrecked in Bahamas in the decades after slavery was abolished in the British Empire but before it was abolished in the United States.
On Emancipation Day, the main events take place in the village of Fox Hill on the island of Nassau. At the Fox Hill Festival you will find many people singing, dancing, eating, and having fun. There is also a regatta at Black Point by Staniel Cay, and there are other smaller events throughout the islands.

Coon Brook Bridge Gets A Facelift
Home/News/Coon Brook Bridge Gets A Facelift
By Kim Nilsen
The single most troublesome bit of infrastructure on the Cohos Trail, an abandoned snowmobile span known as Coon Brook Bridge, received a much-needed overhaul this past fall thanks to an all-volunteer crew. Now instead of the deck being a hazard, the structure in the middle of the Bog Bridge Trail in Pittsburg township is safe and a cakewalk to navigate.
The association made this bridge project the highest priority and scheduled a work day in northern Pittsburg. The project entailed ferrying in by ATV and by hand pressure treated lumber a mile from the vicinity of the Magalloway Road to the boggy spruce barrens north of First Connecticut Lake that Coon Brook drains.
The old, badly deteriorated deck (what was left of it) had to be removed. The telephone pole stringers below were still in fine shape and will probably last a generation before having to be replaced. Then the crew added a new deck, with planks spaced out eight inches apart. Atop that, other planks were laid side by side down from one end of the bridge to the other to make a wide and secure treadway for hikers. The final touch added was the installation of stapled-down chicken wire to provide a nonskid surface in all weather.
Before the repairs…
The old bridge mostly disassembled, with planks in place for temporary crossing during construction
Hauling in lumber for the new bridge
The real work begins
At one point, a fellow who makes his living as a bridge inspector hiked through while the bridge was being reworked. He chatted with the crew a bit and had to admit that, in his judgement, the span would pass inspection with flying colors.
Before the rebuild was done, trekkers either forded the stream rather than cross the bridge or tight-roped their way across the span. Coon Brook, like so many streams in the North Country, can be moody, fast moving, and even dangerous to cross at times. The new work puts an end to the risks that the crew hoped to eliminate.
So, if you are moving along the Bog Bridge Trail in 2020, you will have no trouble making the crossing. In fact, it's not a bad spot to take a load off, sit down, and nibble on a snack or your trail lunch and listen to Coon Brook babble beneath your feet.

Had a lot of fun last weekend shooting two lovely girls in their formal dresses. We will start with Olivia.
I asked Olivia before the shoot, so how do you feel in front of the camera? "Not bad" said her quivering voice… but as you can clearly see SHE ROCKED IT! She kicked that quiver in the rear end!
Had a great time Olivia, looking forward to next time!
