From the Executive Director: Jahi McMath—Brain Death is not Death, It's Liability Protection
Dana Cody
Imagine your child undergoes surgery and never regains consciousness. Imagine that just before surgery, your child told you "I'm scared, Mommy. I'm afraid I will never wake up."
Jahi McMath's mother, Nailah Winkfield, lives with that statement echoing in her head every day. She wishes she had listened to her daughter when Jahi expressed her fear before undergoing a tonsillectomy at Children's Hospital in Oakland on December 9. Jahi regained consciousness and appeared to be recovering well shortly after the surgery but suddenly began bleeding profusely, triggering cardiac arrest. Although Jahi was revived and placed on a respirator, hospital personnel declared her "brain dead" on December 12 and informed her family they would be stopping all life-sustaining treatment.
Day by day news stories recounted the legal battle between Mrs. Winkfield, represented by attorney Chris Dolan, and Children's Hospital, whose representatives had been slow to recognize that Jahi was in danger after her tonsillectomy, but were quick to tell her parents that Jahi was "dead, dead, dead." Behind the scenes, a team of lawyers, doctors, and advocates was working to see that Jahi could be transported to a facility that will treat her with the dignity and care she deserves (see attached declaration [Declaration of Angela Clemente]). For Jahi to be moved, a court order was needed to perform a procedure known as a tracheostomy, the insertion of a breathing tube that would ensure the flow of oxygen to her lungs while she was transported to a facility that would care for her as a human being, not as a deteriorating "corpse" as hospital representatives described her.
The already complex issues of whether brain death is really death and how reliable a diagnosis of brain death is has yet another complicating factor in Jahi's case: money.
Under California law, non-economic damages are capped at $250,000 for any negligence on the part of the hospital that results in loss of life. The apparent conflict presented to the hospital in Jahi's case is this: should she live, the hospital would pay $250,000 in non-economic damages, plus the expense of ongoing care. By making the case that brain death equals the death of a human being, the hospital caps their non-economic liability at $250,000 versus that same amount plus the millions of dollars that could be needed to care for and rehabilitate Jahi over her lifetime.
Obviously the worth of Jahi to her mother cannot be described in terms of money. In an open letter to BET.com, she wrote:
She is on a respirator—with air she lives, her heart beats, her kidneys produce urine, she is warm and soft. They have been pressuring me to "pull the plug." I can't. I won't. I can't let them kill my baby a second time.1
Ms. Winkfield's comments about her daughter demonstrate what was stated in a publication by Dr. Paul Byrne years before he was a member of the team working to save Jahi's life. Dr. Byrne is a neonatologist and a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics.
The intrinsic worth of a human being is not in his/her brain or other bodily part but in the whole person, an organism with spiritual and material dimensions united. Death signifies the separation of this unity, which unity is served by the intercooperation of at least three vital systems—the circulatory and respiratory systems, and the entire brain. Therefore, when making a diagnosis of death, it is imperative that no one be determined or declared dead unless and until there is destruction of at least these three basic unifying systems.2
This bears repetition: "It is imperative that no one be determined or declared dead unless and until there is destruction of at least these three basic unifying systems." Jahi's heart is beating, her kidneys are functioning, and her body has warmth. It isn't surprising to know that as this was being written, Dr. Byrne had recently examined Jahi, and as reported in court documents, her arms and legs were moving in response to her grandmother's voice. He further stated "Jahi is a living person. . . ." Jahi's mother says it best: "She is warm now. I want my baby to be warm. We need time."
Ms. Winkfield's prayer for more time was answered. For the third time, the parties were in court on January 3, 2014 to discuss matters related to moving Jahi to a facility where she will receive the care needed to give her a chance at full recovery. At that hearing Oakland Children's Hospital finally agreed to a protocol to remove Jahi from their facility, which move took place on January 5. Jahi is now at an undisclosed location in order to protect her privacy and the privacy of other patients at the facility. Attorney Chris Dolan stated that Jahi's family understands "the odds are stacked against them." However, Jahi is now stable and receiving proper care in an environment that is not hostile, where she is not being referred to as a "corpse" and where there is not constant pressure to end her life. Noteworthy is the fact that many patients have recovered from a diagnosis of brain death. Should Jahi be one of those individuals who wakes up after being declared brain dead it will be interesting to hear Children's Hospital's response.
When there are conscientious objections to brain death as the standard for declaring a human being deceased, as brought painfully to light by Jahi McMath's case, it is time to demand that before a diagnosis of death, one must see the destruction of the three unifying body systems. At the very least, a family's sincerely held beliefs in regard to life should be respected. The statute defining brain death in the State of New Jersey accords individuals such respect:
26:6A-5. Death not declared in violation of individual's religious beliefs. The death of an individual shall not be declared upon the basis of neurological criteria pursuant to sections 3 and 4 of this act when the licensed physician authorized to declare death, has reason to believe, on the basis of information in the individual's available medical records, or information provided by a member of the individual's family or any other person knowledgeable about the individual's personal religious beliefs that such a declaration would violate the personal religious beliefs of the individual. In these cases, death shall be declared, and the time of death fixed, solely upon the basis of cardio-respiratory criteria pursuant to section 2 of this act. L.1991,c.90,s.5.
Life Legal Defense Foundation became part of the team working to see that Jahi received treatment when Chris Dolan contacted the office prior to the first TRO being issued by the court. LLDF was able to provide model pleadings to assist Mr. Dolan, who learned of LLDF's experience with forced death cases through a contact at Terri's Life and Hope Network. LLDF also committed resources to see Jahi moved so that she will be treated with the dignity she deserves as a living human being. LLDF will continue to do so when others are under threat of death and until the sanctity of human life is restored in our culture.
Lastly, LLDF offers continuing legal education training for attorneys interested in assisting with the issue of forced death. LLDF's most recent in-person training was in Jacksonville, Fla., February 20, 2014.

Pre-listing statements
King IV compliance
Sustainability | Social responsibility
The group is aware of its social responsibilities and believes it is crucial for businesses to play a positive role in the communities within which they operate. The group's CSI strategy is to focus on education and skills development initiatives.
During the period, a number of contributions were made towards improving the lives of the people living in the communities in which we operate. We are working with various communities on different projects across the country.
Significant contributions were made to the organisations and initiatives mentioned below.
Monyetla Project
The Monyetla Project is a registered public benefit organisation with the aim to assist grade 12 learners from previously disadvantaged and poor communities in the Free State, improve their results and afford them opportunities to qualify for bursaries and tertiary education. This has enabled poor families to break the cycle of poverty. The word "monyetla" means "opportunity" in Sesotho. The initiative was established in February 2007 and currently offers additional classes for 14 subjects which are presented by some of the most experienced educators the province has to offer.
There are currently 28 schools represented at this academic programme. During the 2018 school year a total of 1 000 grade12 learners attended the programme. This group of learners achieved an overall pass rate of 90% with47% of the learners obtaining a bachelor's pass.
Tshepang Educare Trust
The Tshepang Educare Trust is a non-profit organisation serving the interests of women and children in rural and disadvantaged areas. "Tshepang" which is a Sesotho word meaning "hope", supports farms, informal settlements and small towns throughout the Eastern Free State to help children living in the disadvantaged communities in these areas get access to quality early childhood development ("ECD").
The problem facing many of the children living in these areas isthe lack of any kind of pre-school education programme which results in them being at a great disadvantage when entering mainstream schooling at the age of seven years. In most cases, the children that are not exposed to this early childhood development never catch up and are therefore disadvantaged for life.
Tshepang's main aim is to train members of these communities to run a successful crèche or ECD centre, based in these informal settlements. This empowers these individuals by giving them a chance to create a living through opening their own preschools, or gain employment in existing ECD centres and also exposes the young children in their communities to this vital form of education. Tshepang runs an 18-month programme which provides graduates with a level 4 ECD certificate, authorised by ETDP SETA.
Tshepang also has a crèche for special needs children and has two mobile toy classrooms, which are taken to areas for children who cannot afford to attend a crèche. Employees of Tshepang also regularly visit areas to encourage parents to play constructively with their children and assist them in learning the basics required for school. The organisation currently works with 160 pre-schools and reaches some 6 800 pre-school children from disadvantaged areas.
Spoudazo – Township Vegetable Tunnel Project
Spoudazo Enterprises Trust is a registered public benefit organisation, the purpose of which is to enhance the interests ofthe poor and vulnerable, to further their interests and well-being by means of providing them with welfare, humanitarian assistance, healthcare, land and housing, education and development services. Raubex has supported Spoudazo's Township Vegetable Tunnel Project since October 2012. This project involves the setting up of vegetable tunnels for individual households in addition to offering them training and mentoring.
During 2018/2019, a further 15 vegetable tunnels were set up new or repurposed for identified beneficiaries. Raubex funded the set up and mentorship process of these tunnels during the year. To date there are a total 57 vegetable tunnels in the Free State. The focus of this project is not only to ensure food security for these households but also to establish an economic system within their communities. Spoudazo equips each beneficiary with the necessary vegetable growing skills that will assist them to earn an income, not only from the selling of their crops but also by sharing in the responsibilities of the setup and mentoring process of additional tunnels in their communities.
In addition to this, the project has provided opportunities for enterprise development to some of the identified tunnel beneficiaries who showed the necessary skill and willingness to be further equipped as entrepreneurs. Two such entrepreneurs now have their own websites for their businesses, which can be viewed atwww.tlali.co.za and www.vegetablemarket.co.za.
Pothole Repair Initiative
The group embarked on a project where pothole repairs are carried out in the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality on a pro bono basis. This initiative eases the burden on the municipality in repairing the roads in the municipal area. A team dedicated for this purpose attends to pre-identified damaged areas and repairs. Although these repairs are temporary in nature it goes a long way in assisting the municipality with essential services.

Bogus Zionist 'Charity' Attacks Labour Candidates as 'Anti-Semitic'
by [email protected] | May 8, 2017 | Blog | 0 comments
Campaign Against Anti-Semitism Libels Dina Mulholland, Labour PPC for
Ceredigion and Mike Sivier of Vox
Campaign Against Anti-Semitism attacks Labour PPC Dinah Mulholland
Bogus charity, Campaign
Against Anti-Semitism, which campaigns making false and libellous
accusations of anti-Semitism, has now stepped up its campaign during the
General Election. The latest victims are
Mulholland, Labour PPC for Ceredigion and Mike
Sivier, who was suspended as Labour candidate in the elections for Powys
county council.
Campaign Against AntiSemitism Lies About Mike Sivier – naturally Labour nationally suspended him at once when this far-Right charity came a calling
For details on Mike Sivier's rebuttal of the CAA's lies see No
council seat for Vox Political writer – because of politically-motivated
In addition to the petition
calling on the Charity Commission to deregister this Zionist libel machine that
masquerades as a charity, [have you
signed yet?] I submitted a complaint to the Charity Commission nearly 3
months ago. Despite promises to the
contrary the Commission still have not dealt with it.
When it comes to complaints from the Right that Student
Unions are supporting Israel Apartheid Week the Charity Commission jumped into
action under their far-Right Chairman William Shawcross, a former board member
of the Henry Jackson Society and a virulent Islamaphobe. But when it's a bogus Zionist 'charity' the Charity Commission does nothing.
According to the fake 'charity' CAA this post on an Israeli Internet Magazine +972 is also anti-Semitic
I have today
submitted a further complaint about the CAA's outrageous and illegal interference in the general
election campaign. By defaming Dina
Mulholland, the CAA have also committed a criminal
offence under s.106 of the Representation of the Peoples Act. I urge you to bombard the Charity Commission with complaints.
The CAA is strongly suspected of being funded by a $50m Israeli government slush fund to combat BDS and it is using this to destabilise the Labour Party.
What was the basis
of CAA's accusation that Dina Mulholland was anti-Semitic?
She alleged, in an article, that the Israeli military had sprayed
skunk, an evil smelling liquid that is regularly sprayed on peaceful
demonstrators, into water tanks making them undrinkable. Apparently this was a resurrection of the
ancient libel of Jewish well poisoning!
Demonstrators have testified that skunk is almost impossible to wash off. It clings to you for weeks. A BBC reporter testified that "Imagine the worst, most foul thing you have ever smelled. An overpowering mix of rotting meat, old socks that haven't been washed for weeks – topped off with the pungent waft of an open sewer. . .Imagine being covered in the stuff as it is liberally sprayed from a water cannon. Then imagine not being able to get rid of the stench for at least three days, no matter how often you try to scrub yourself clean."[8]
A reporter for Reuters described its effect in the following words:
Imagine taking a chunk of rotting corpse from a stagnant sewer, placing it in a blender and spraying the filthy liquid in your face. Your gag reflex goes off the charts and you can't escape, because the nauseating stench persists for days.[4]
What the CAA are
saying is that allegations against Israeli soldiers or settlers are allegations
against all Jews and therefore automatically anti-Semitic. By this absurd logic, any criticism of Israel's military occupation is automatically anti-Semitic.
Of course this is
nonsense. People don't accuse Israel's
army or Israeli settlers of war crimes because they are Jewish but
because they are war criminals and racists.
Their religion is irrelevant.
It is the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism
which is being anti-Semitic. They are equating
the actions of the Israeli Army and Settlers with all Jews. They are therefore breaking the very
'International Definition of Anti-Semitism' that they rely on. The IHRA definition gives as an example of 'Contemporary examples of
'Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions
of the state of Israel'
allegation of well poisoning related to the Black Death which peaked in Europe in the 14th
century. At that time, not knowing about
bacteria, germs etc. people sought an explanation for the death of possibly
half of Europe's population in Jewish poisoning of wells.
Once the Zionist Campaign Against Antisemitism spread their libellous poison, the mass media followed up with more lies
It has
nothing whatever to do with the well
documented examples of Israeli military and settler poisoning of the Palestinian
wells on the West Bank.
No doubt Fred Pearce (see letter to CC below) was also anti-Semitic when
he wrote in the Guardian of 1st March 2006, Running
on empty that Israeli settlers poisoned Palestinian wells.
According to the Campaign Against AntiSemitism Laurence Brass's allegations of the poisoning of a Palestinian village well is a medieval blood libel and anti-Semitic – of course it's also true!
Perhaps Laurence Brass, who resigned as Treasurer of
the staunchly Zionist Board of Deputies of British Jews, in order to speak out against
the abominations perpetrated against the Palestinians is also
anti-Semitic? Mr Brass was quoted
in the Jewish Chronicle of 20th December 2012 as stating that on a
visit to the West Bank:
'the abiding memory of his visit would be "the sight of an old rusty car being dumped
down the village well, thus preventing the locals from having fresh water.'
If accusing any Jew of ever having poisoned water supplies is anti-Semitic then Israeli historian and Ha'aretz journalist Tom Segev's passage above is grossly anti-Semitic
If allegations that Jews may poison water resources is
automatically anti-Semitic then what does one make of the documented fact that
a group of Holocaust survivors, led by Abba Kovner, plotted to poison the drinking
water of German cities as revenge for the Holocaust? It is so well documented that even the
malicious liars and perjurers of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism would be
hard put to it to deny it. It is documented
by, amongst others, Israeli historian and Ha'aretz journalist Tom Segev in his
book The Seventh Million, in a Chapter
entitled '6 Million Germans' (pp. 140-146).
Perhaps Segev is also anti-Semitic?
What this shows is that the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism
has no hesitation in making the most outrageous accusations of false
anti-Semitism against people.
It is a disgrace that the Labour Party Compliance Unit, in
its case against the Black-Jewish anti-racist activist Jackie Walker, quotes
the racist liar Gideon Falter, Chair of the CAA against Jackie. If Jeremy Corbyn has any integrity he will
put a stop to the practice of quoting racists against Black anti-racists and he
will fire Iain McNicoll and the head of the Compliance Unit John Stolliday for
having used the testimony of racists in their witch-hunt.
I have submitted a further complaint to the Charity
Commission against the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism.
Sign the Petition calling on the Charity Commission to deregister the racist 'charity' Camaign Against Anti-Semitism. We now have over 2,800 signatures. Please share widely and let's get at least 10,000 signatures.
Also please
submit your own complaint to the Charity Commission against this bogus 'charity'.
Correspondence to the Charity Commission Concerning the Campaign Against
Jane Grenfell,
Senior Technical Case
Manager, Regulatory Compliance
Dear Ms Grenfell,
Thank you for your response to my query as to why
the Charity Commission has delayed responding to my complaints of 11th
Februar and subsequently against the bogus 'charity' Campaign Against
Anti-Semitism Registration Number: 1163790.
You say that there has been a reorganisation within
the Commission. However when Student
Unions organised Israel Apartheid Weeks earlier this year, the Charity
Commission was able to respond to complaints from the Israeli Embassy and
Zionist groups within a very short period of time. When it is convenient, the Charity Commission
can move very quickly.
The complaints against the Campaign Against
Anti-Semitism are even more urgent given that we are now in the middle of a General
Election. The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism
is actively intervening to attack certain, mainly Labour, parliamentary
candidates. This must stop immediately
and you are under a legal duty to act without delay.
The CAA's actions also breach Section 106 of the
Representation of the People Act 1983 which specifies that it is a criminal
offence to make or publish a false statement of fact about the personal
character or conduct of an election candidate.
For further information you might want to consult this briefing
on the defamation of candidates standing for election although it would be
remiss of you not to be aware of it.
I refer in particular to the case of Dinah
Mulholland, Labour PPC for Ceredigion.
See their Facebook
page. On 3rd May a post
appeared on the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism's website, Dinah
Mulholland, Labour parliamentary and council candidate in Wales, invokes
antisemitic libel about Jews poisoning wells. The
myth that Jews poison wells dates back to the Black Death. If the CAA's allegations were true this would
be a serious offence of incitement to racial hatred and a hate crime.
It would also be incumbent on the Welsh Labour
Party to replace Ms Mulholland as a Labour candidate. In fact this allegation was a complete and total lie. A
wicked fabrication. the Labour Party
has now investigated this allegation and has found it to be wanting.
A failure to act on your part, given that you are the
regulatory body, will be
seen as making you complicit in the CAA's unlawful actions. It will also be an act of gross
maladministration and a complaint will be made to the Parliamentary Ombudsman.
The allegation against Ms Mulholland concerns an article published on voicewales.com on 13th November 2016,
which recounted her visit to the West Bank as a delegate for Unite the
Union. According to the CAA Ms Mulholland alleged that:
'the Israeli military has 'weaponised' water, spraying
chemicalised 'skunk' water into the water tanks of Palestinian protesters,
making it unsafe to use."
On this flimsy and artificial basis the
CAA concluded that what Ms Mulholland had written was equivalent to 'the false accusation of poisoning wells
(which) has been used to demonise Jews and inflame violence against Jews since
as early as the Middle Ages and is regarded as one of the gravest age-old
antisemitic canards.'
Ms Mullholland's accusations did not
refer to the Jews, that was the CAA's interpretation. They related to the Israeli military
occupation and Jewish settlers on the West Bank. They do not relate to Jews at all but to Israeli
who happen to be Jews. This attempt to equate far-Right settlers
with all Jews is itself anti-Semitic according to the very 'International'
Definition of anti-Semitism that the CAA has recourse to.
If the CAA is correct that an allegation
of poisoning water against anyone who happens to be Jewish is a resurrection of
a medieval anti-Semitic libel, then the Israeli +972 Magazine is also guilty of
the same offence. In its edition of
November 15 2014 Haggai Matar wrote an article WATCH:
Police spray putrid water on Palestinian homes, schools.
Perhaps Fred Pearce, writing for the
Guardian of 1st March 2006, Running
on empty was also anti-Semitic when he wrote:
'Oxfam's
Geoff Graves took me to Madama, a Palestinian village near Nablus, where
neighbouring Israeli settlers poisoned the village's only well and shot at aid
workers who came to clean it. Most villagers now buy water from passing
tankers, but not all can afford it. Ahmed Qot, a poor farmer, told me he spends
three hours every day carrying pots on his donkey to get water from a nearby
village for his nine children and five farm animals.
It is a fact that the rabidly racist Jewish
settlers on the West Bank have poisoned Palestinian wells. There are dozens of such examples. This does NOT mean that this is therefore typical Jewish behaviour. It is the typical behaviour of settler
colonists, whatever their religion. For the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism to
suggest that the behaviour of West Bank settlers represents normal Jewish
behaviour is itself an anti-Semitic calumny against Jews. The CAA is not only a
rabidly Zionist organisation it is clearly anti-Semitic.
An allegation against a specific group of Jews that
they have tried to or actually poisoned water supplies does not mean that it is
necessarily untrue, still less a blood libel.
At the end of the second world war, a group of Jewish survivors of the
Holocaust, led by Abba Kovner, planned to poison the water supply of German
cities by way of revenge for the Holocaust.
This is extremely well documented but Kovner was arrested in time. This is covered in the chapter '6 Million
Germans' (pp, 140-146) in The Seventh Million (1993) by Israeli historian and Ha'aretz
journalist Tom Segev. I don't believe
anyone has accused Tom Segev of anti-Semitism previously but no doubt he will
now be subject to the attentions of the CAA.
I would therefore appreciate your confirmation that
the investigation against the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism will be treated
with the utmost seriousness, without any delay and that they will be told to
avoid all further comment on General Election candidates.
Dear Mr Greenstein
I am sorry that it
did not prove possible to respond as Mr Young had indicated. Due to a
re-organisation within the Commission I have been asked to carry forward your
concerns and will be examining them in detail. It is not possible at this stage
to give any timeframe for the conduct of this case. However, once I have
completed my analysis I will let you know.
I appreciate that
this will be frustrating for you, but I can confirm that I am looking in detail
at the information you have provided.

8th May 2017-05-08
Dear Mr Young,
You wrote to me on 22nd
March stating that you were still evaluating my complaint against the Campaign
Against Anti-Semitism and that you were advised it would take a week before a
decision was made.
It is now over 6 weeks since you
wrote to me and I have heard nothing.
I suspect that this matter has
gone up to your Chairman, the Islamaphobic William Shawcross, who is a hardline
Zionist as well as a member of the far-Right Henry Jackson Society and that
this is what has delayed your decision. In other words political
interference.
Please confirm whether my
suspicions are correct and if not when we are going to get a substantive
response.
In the meanwhile this bogus
'charity' is continuing to defame anyone who they consider supportive of the
Palestinians and opposed to Zionism, especially if they are for example Labour
candidates.
This alone should have got you doing something quickly and it
is a disgrace that you have sat on this for nearly 3 months.
I attach to this a

antisemitic libel about Jews poisoning wells
Dinah Mulholland,
the Labour Party's parliamentary candidate for Ceredigion constituency in Wales
in the general election on 8th June, and for the Llangybi ward on Ceredigion
County Council in the Welsh local elections on 4th May, has invoked
a classic antisemitic libel about Jews poisoning wells.
An article published on voicewales.com on 13th November
2016 recounts her recent visit to the West Bank as a delegate for
Unite the Union. The article states: "According to Dinah, the Israeli
military has 'weaponised' water, spraying chemicalised 'skunk' water into the
water tanks of Palestinian protesters, making it unsafe to use."
The false accusation of poisoning wells has been used to demonise
Jews and inflame violence against Jews since as early as the Middle Ages and is
regarded as one of the gravest age-old antisemitic canards. Mulholland's
unsubstantiated allegation breaches the International
Definition of Antisemitism which states that "Using the symbols and images
associated with classic antisemitism (e.g. claims of Jews killing Jesus or
blood libel) to characterise Israel or Israelis" is antisemitic.
Police spray putrid water on Palestinian homes, schools
By Haggai Matar
Two new videos catch a police 'skunk' truck
spraying East Jerusalem neighborhoods with foul-smelling liquid. The smell was
so bad that 4,500 students had to stay home from school.
The "skunk" trucks drives slowly through the neighborhood.
It is evening, and there is no evidence of clashes in the area. The truck
proceeds slowly, sprays putrid-smelling water on a nearby building, continues
on and shoots once again. When it's all over, the truck has tainted schools,
homes, streets – entire neighborhoods – with its unbearable stink. Just like
Two videos that were filmed this past week by Palestinian
residents of Jerusalem and were given to +972 support claims by residents
regarding the inappropriate use of the skunk by the police. In August, the
Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) filed a complaint to the police
regarding multiple cases of the arbitrary use of the skunk, especially at times
when there are no protests or clashes. It seems that the police has not changed
its ways.
The common understanding among residents and human rights
organizations is that the police are collectively
punishing Jerusalem's Palestinian residents, in light of clashes
between youth and police in these neighborhoods. But the punishment neither
begins nor ends with skunk water; the police block entrances to these neighborhoods
with concrete blocks, detains residents for long hours at checkpoints and hands
out petty fines – all at the behest of the Jerusalem municipality.

In the A-Tur neighborhood, the police shot skunk water at
four large schools, forcing the parents of 4,500 students to leave their
children at home due to the unbearable smell. "It was this past Friday, at
around 5:30 p.m.," says Khader Abu Sabitan, a member of the parents' committee
in the neighborhood. "I was on the road and saw them pass with their machine,
and saw how they began shooting water at the school. I'm telling you – there
was nothing there. It is Friday at 5:30 in the evening, and there was no one in
the school or on the streets. Nothing. Everyone was home. They went to all four
schools in the neighborhood, shot the water, and left."
The skunk water targeted the A-Tur elementary school for
boys, the elementary and high school for girls, a high school for boys and the
"Basma" elementary school for disabled children. All four schools are located
on the neighborhood's main street.
"After we saw what they did, we told the parents not to
send the children to school on Saturday, which is a school day for us. We
thought that the municipality would be able to solve the problem by Sunday,
since the children didn't go to school on that day. It wasn't a strike – we
just could not enter the area because of the smell. We sent letters through the
teachers on Saturday and Sunday, but no one came. So we brought back the
children to school on Monday, and told them to go straight to class ad not
linger outside. The smell even permeated the classrooms, but they closed the
windows and made do somehow. They stayed inside during the lunch break and then
went straight home. It has been a week, and it still smells. Less, but you can
still smell it."
For anyone who has not experienced it, words cannot express
the smell of the skunk. The Israeli-developed truck is primarily used by the
army in the occupied territories over the past several years, although now it
is slowly making its way to Jerusalem and Israel. The strong stench smells like
a mix of feces and animal carcass – gagging is almost inevitable.
The worst part is that there is almost no way to get rid of
the smell. Showering doesn't help, and protesters usually deal with it is by
taking a dip in the sea. Objects that have been sprayed with skunk water often
smell for much longer periods of time. After being hit with a few drops of
skunk water, my camera smelled for nearly half a year.
It is difficult to fathom exactly why such large amounts of
skunk water must be sprayed at classrooms and homes, as can be seen in the
second video that was filmed in the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood of Jerusalem.
Like in the video from A-Tur, there are no stone throwers or protesters. The
police act casually, there are no rocks being thrown in the air, no sounds of
explosions, no screaming or bullets that characterize confrontations in East
Jerusalem. Just a skunk truck spraying homes.
"The perception of the residents and organizations is that
the police uses the skunk routinely, regardless of whether they are dispersing
protests, as one can plainly see in the video" Oshrat Maimon, an attorney with
the Ir Amim NGO. "The problem is that we don't even know what the police's
procedure is when it comes to using the skunk. Therefore, we don't know if the
problem is in the procedure itself, or in the lack of implementation. The truth
is that we're a bit helpless in this situation."
Over the past several weeks, activists from East Jerusalem
have met with members of human rights organizations in order to attempt to formulate
a response to the actions of the police and municipality. They, however, found
it difficult to arrive at a solution. "Our field coordinators say that people
are afraid of the police and do not want to provide testimonies," says Maimon.
"Even people who were shot, such as someone was hit with a sponge-tipped bullet
in the head or a woman who was shot and her uterus was torn – when our
investigators speak with them, they are afraid that if they speak up the police
will find its way to them and find a way to harm them.
In response to ACRI's request, the police responded that
the skunk is used according to regulations, but refused to say explain what the
regulation says. ACRI has attempted to force the police to publish the
regulations vis-a-vis the skunk. Meanwhile in East Jerusalem, the occupation
becomes smellier than ever.
+972 asked for a response from Jerusalem Police. Their
response will be published here.

After all the flack the original Fantastic Four film got, I expected this one to get just as trashed. The first film wasn't what I was expecting, nor did I think it did justice to the characters themselves. It was an alright film, but nothing special. However, the second film, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer changed all that. I found it to be a much better film than the original. Not great by any means, but just a fun movie from start to finish. With a bigger budget and some astonishing special effects, this is a comic book movie that's not only suitable for all ages, but enjoyable for all ages, as well. Of course, with any comic book movie, this film was mired in controversy, which I'll get into right after the synopsis.
So let's get the supposed controversy out of the way, shall we? For the unenlightened, the controversy surrounded the movie's depiction of Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds. Comic fans know him as a lumbering giant with a big purple helmet and skirt. Once you get past the somewhat silly visual, he's a great character, and one of the Fantastic Four's biggest villains. He's a fan-favorite, obviously. In the movie . . . well . . . he looks to be a big cloud. That's an over-simplification, but he's basically a huge cloud. At least, that's what the majority of fans interpreted him as. Personally, I thought it was fairly obvious he was the Galactus we all know and love from the comics shrouded in said cloud. We see peeks at him here and there, but never a clear shot. We see the outline of his helmet, what looks to be his hand, and what looks to actually be him surrounded in very bright cosmic dust (?). If you're a comic book fan who is very picky about how their favorite characters are portrayed on screen, you won't like this. Personally, I had no problem with it. And that's the whole controversy.
Does that make sense? Hopefully. And with that out of the way, let's dive into the heart of the review, shall we? Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a pretty simple movie. There are no added layers or deep underlying character studies. What you see on the screen is, basically, what you get. And, for this movie, that's actually not a bad thing. Thankfully, the movie also knows how to have some fun and not take itself too seriously. Many fans decried the rather light-hearted approach to the characters but, personally, I found it enjoyable. It's handled better here. We know the characters, everything is established, and we can move on with the story. While the same approach didn't really work for the first Fantastic Four movie, which had to introduce us to everything, it works here.
Yes, the characters are still pretty two-dimensional, and are moving as the script dictates. There doesn't seem to be any real momentum to make the movie feel like it is naturally progressing. It just seems to go from scene to scene to scene. The brisk running time doesn't really help, either, but, regardless, it doesn't matter for this movie. It's pure fluff from beginning to end. I movie where you can shut your brain off, look at the visuals, laugh at a few cheap jokes, and realize that even when things look their worst, all will be good by the end of the final reel. It's a fun diversion.
Of course, there's some damn nice eye-candy, too. And, it goes without saying, that the Silver Surfer looks amazing in this movie. The CGI work done on him, coupled with Doug Jones's motion capture portrayal of his actions, looks great. There were times, in fact, when I couldn't tell if some parts were CGI and other parts were real. It's just that good at times. Sadly, there are scenes when the special effects don't always work. Infact, said scenes seem to solely be with our favorite stretch-tastic leader, Reed Richards. The crew still can't seem to nail down Mr. Fantastic's powers right, as they come off looking awkward and just . . . weird. The rest of the four, Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing, all seem to be represented pretty well.
Then there's Doctor Doom. Fans cried about his lacking portrayal in the first, and they were right to. Here, they just seem to continue on with that. They touch upon his Latverian heritage more, but he still seems to come off as a snooty Norman Osborn-rip off, and seems really shoehorned into the scripted. He's the bad guy when the script needs it, basically, and is disposed when his role is done. Rather ho-hum, but he does provide for some great visual effects and cool showdown between him and The Human Torch.
Overall, it's a rather empty-headed movie, but a fun one. Don't go in expecting a movie like Spider-Man 2 or Superman Returns. This movie is pure fluff fun with no underlying meaning or direction. It sets out to entertain with one-liners, funny situations, and great visual effects, and it does, generally. I found it much better than the first Fantastic Four flick, no question. The addition of The Silver Surfer was a smart movie and helped reenergize what could've been a meandering sequel. And, in the end, this is basically the Silver Surfer's movie from start to finish. Yes, the Fantastic Four have a role to play, but, no question, this is his movie. And, thankfully, they really do him justice here.
And, with any big movie, comes the big DVD. And yes folks, this DVD is huge! Foregoing the double-dip, Fox has released Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in three editions, including the Blu-Ray release. The first is the one-disc version containing just a handful of commentaries. The second is the two-disc "Power Cosmic Edition" that comes with a whole second disc full of extras. It goes without saying that, even if you didn't like the movie, this is the version you'll want.
So, what are all the bonus features? On the first disc we get two commentaries, one by director Tim Story and another with producer Avi Arad, writer Don Payne and film editors Peter S. Elliot and William Hoy. After that, we move onto the second disc!
Here, we find a host of extended and deleted scenes with optional commentary by director Tim Story. Following that is the documentary "Family Bonds: The Making of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the comic book-based "Sentinel of the Spaceways: Comic Book Origins of The Silver Surfer" featurette, "The FantastiCar: State of the Art" featurette, "The Power Cosmic Special Effects" featurette, "Character Design With Spectral Motion" featurette, "Scoring the Fantastic" featurette, an interactive FantastiCar concept images gallery, a plethora of theatrical trailers, and some still galleries. Overall, a nice pile of extra features to round out a pretty swell two-disc package.
Overall, for fans of the first film, I'd have to Recommend the two-disc release of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. If you're just a casual fan of the movie, then you may want to just check out the one-disc version instead. Like I said, the movie isn't anything special, nor will it ever be mistaken for a work of art, but it is fun and much better than the original. If anything, the spectacle involving the Silver Surfer is very well handled, and worth the price of admission below. If you're not a fan of the first flick, this movie won't win you over to the franchise, but it does have some pretty spectacular scenes worth viewing. It's a fun ride from start to finish, and the rare sequel that improves upon its' predecessor.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is now available on both single and dual-disc DVD releases and Blu-Ray.

Dark matter has much less impact than we thought.
We perceive dark matter as a mysterious and elusive substance in the Universe, gravitationally affecting the Milky Way and other galaxies. Recently, however, researchers have learned that in the early universe, dark matter had a much smaller impact than we thought.
Researchers managed to find out that 10 billion years ago, normal (baryon) matter prevailed in the galaxy, represented in the form of dust, gas, stars, planets and other known objects of outer space.
Now dark matter, which does not emit, absorb or reflect light, has a strong influence on our Universe. It is in contact with normal matter through gravity and is responsible for the speed of rotation of spiral galaxies.
The team of scientists decided to use telescopes to measure the rotation curves of 6 massive galaxies. Since they were located far away, the observation of them resembled the effect of winding time 10 billion years ago, when stars were just forming.
The map displays observations of 6 distant galaxies. The distribution of the total surface brightness is shown on the left, and the velocity map on the right. Galaxies demonstrate the rotation scheme: the blue areas move towards the observer, and the red ones move from it
It was possible to notice that in the early galaxies the outer regions rotated more slowly than the central ones. This indicates the presence of a smaller amount of dark matter than expected. So, her role was also less significant. In addition, early galaxies were more turbulent than modern spiral ones. This was confirmed in two further studies, where 240 galaxies with star formation were studied.
It turns out that after 3-4 billion years after the Big Bang event, gas in galaxies condensed into flat rotating disks, and large dark matter halos concentrated around them. Previously, these halos were more common, but after billions of years dark matter has condensed and now has a strong influence on the rotation of many modern galaxies, such as the Milky Way.
The dark matter distribution model in the universe is 13.6 billion years ago.
These findings lead to three important assumptions. First, since normal matter was more influential in early space, today's galaxies have central regions rich in normal matter.
Secondly, it can be assumed that the winds emanating from the galactic center could change the distribution of dark matter.
Third, the current dark matter hypothesis may be incorrect. Perhaps a particle of dark matter is lighter, is not a particle at all, or looks like black holes.
The team saw the first hints of falling galaxy rotation curves 8 years ago. The data hinted that dark matter was not so influential in the early Universe. Scientists continued to collect evidence using data from other galaxies. In the future, the researchers plan to explore galaxies with smaller masses in order to better understand the origin of our Universe.

Keeping up with my new resolution to start blogging, thought I better actually mention rev for the 1st time!
If U haven't heard of Revelation (where have U been?) its the warwick's rock gospel choir. Its really good fun, singing, swaying, clapping, funny warm ups and don't forget HARIBO!
Anyway, its on tuesdays at 7:30 in the chaplaincy on campus, anyone can join, even if U R tone deaf(no joke!) cos the aim of rev is to have fun! Tonight we are all wearing some item of pink clothing, in aid of breast cancer awareness, not really a pink-kind-of-person myself, but Miche is gonna lend me her top. Hope there ain't no cameras tonight!
Nicely done!! Remember we're having a pink party tonight – I expect to see you dressed appropriately!
Superb performance if i may say so my self. And a good picture.
You're only saying that because you took the picture!!
Not amused by this blatant use of warwick resources for spreading more mindless propaganda about Revelation and especially coming from such an awesome guy – hmm not amused.
I am still fighting the good fight of staying rev-free-ish.

Jupiter has a dozen new moons, including one 'oddball'
Denise Bradley
Sheppard's team found the moons while searching for Planet Nine, a distant, undiscovered planet thought to be altering the paths of objects in our solar system.
One of the new moons in the outer group is particularly unique, according to astronomer Scott Sheppard at the Carnegie Institution for Science, who led the team that first spotted the moons a year ago.
Though most of the moons were originally spotted using the Blanco 4-meter telescope, several other telescopes, in Chile, Arizona and Hawaii, were used to confirm the presence of the Jovian satellites. Jupiter happened to be in the same field of view, so they also looked for any as yet unknown moons.
Two more of the moons are in a group that circle much closer to the planet in prograde orbits which travel in the same direction as Jupiter's spin. Nine others orbit with Jupiter's outer retrograde moons in the opposite direction. But the newly discovered moons are tiny, ranging from 1 to 3 kilometers in diameter.
The "oddball" moon, which has been named Valetudo after the Roman goddess of health and hygiene, has an orbit that is dissimilar to any other known moon around Jupiter.
The new moons, pictured as circles above, were discovered a year ago by a team of astronomers.
On Tuesday, the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Centre published the orbits for 12 newfound Jovian - bringing Jupiter's total to 79 moons, said Scott Sheppard, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science in D.C.
Jupiter's moons range in size from shrimpy satellites to whopping space hulks.
"This is an unstable situation", said Sheppard. "Head-on collisions would quickly break apart and grind the objects down to dust".
It takes around 18 months to orbit Jupiter, and its orbit passes that of the retrograde moons, which makes collisions pretty likely.
Two of the newly discovered moons orbit much closer to Jupiter and have a prograde orbit, meaning that they orbit in the same direction as the planet. Not yet, anyway. "Right now the only definition of a moon is something that orbits the planet", Sheppard said, as long as it isn't human-made. He and his team have been photographing the skies with some of today's best telescope technology, hoping to catch sight of this mysterious ninth planet. This gave the team a unique opportunity to search for new moons around Jupiter in addition to objects located past Pluto, according to the statement. The "oddball" moon, known as Valetudo, can be seen in green in a prograde orbit that crosses over the retrograde orbits.
In the spring of 2017, Jupiter happened to be in an area of sky the team wanted to search for Planet Nine.
This survivor could be the last remnant of a once-larger prograde moon that collided with an object to create the retrograde moons. The solar system's ocean worlds might be the most promising place to look.
But the discovery might be short-lived because Valetudo faces destruction in head-on collisions.
Jupiter, the fifth planet from the Sun, has a diameter of 142,984km. The planet must have acted like a vacuum, sucking up all the material that was around it.Some of that debris was captured as moons.
With 67 other known moons flying around Jupiter, there's already a good amount of traffic around the gas planet, as shown in the illustration above.
The moons are small, ranging from just one kilometre to three kilometres in width.
"Valetudo's going down the highway the wrong way, so it's very likely it will collide with these other objects".

Q: RxJS with Angular Two-way binding enter multiple times in catchError I have a service that store items in the session storage with an expiry date. When i retrieve an item, if the expiry date is over, the service return null value :
The method to save items :
private saveSessionData<T>(key: string, value: T) {
    const now = new Date();
    const item = {
      value: value,
      expiry: now.getTime() + 15 * 60000 // 15 minutes from now
    }
    sessionStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(item));
  }

The method to retrieve items :
private getSessionData<T>(key: string): T | null {
    const itemStr = sessionStorage.getItem(key);
    if(!itemStr) return null;
    const item = JSON.parse(itemStr);
    const now = new Date();
    if (now.getTime() > item.expiry) {
      sessionStorage.removeItem(key);
      return null;
    }
    return item.value;
  }

In my controller, I access one of those value by putting them on an Observable like :
const value$ = of(this.storageService.getSessionData<string>('value'))
        .pipe(
          catchError(err => {
            console.log('The session is expired');
            // ... open a modal and route the user to the home
            return err;
          })
        );

And then i display it in my view with :
{{(value$ | async)}}

The thing I want as soon as my Stored data is expired, is to open a Modal and route the user to an other page (It is what i did in the catchError().
The problem is that when my data actually expire, in the console I have multiple logs meaning i entered multiple times in my catchError() which is a problem since my openModal function is not idempotent (so it open multiple times leading to a poor user experience) :
console.log :
The session is expired
The session is expired
The session is expired
The session is expired
The session is expired

How can i change this to actually call the error function only once ?
I tried to use throws new Error('session expired') instead of the return null; in my retrieve data function and put a try() catch() block in my controller, but it ended the same.
Does anyone got an idea on how catch my error only once ?

A: If you have multiple value$ | async in the template, you will end up with multiple subscriptions!!!
You can apply the share() operator to ensure only a single subscription is used:
const value$ = of(this.storageService.getSessionData<string>('value')).pipe(
  share(),
  catchError(err => {
    console.log('The session is expired');
  })
);

A: As far as I see there's nothing asynchronous about the function getSessionData, you could let go of the whole of/pipe block and replace it with a simple if/else block. If I'm missing something please comment.

Q: What is the difference between Darkin Kayn and Shadow Kayn? Kayn is one of the newest champions to enter the Rift. His character's main feature seems to be his mid-game transformation. I've never played as Kayn myself, but I've seen several teammates and opponents use him.
To better understand him, I viewed his abilities in the client. Unfortunately, the descriptions provided there don't give much information in regards to how his passive actually works.
From what I understand, Kayn will transform into either his Darken form, or his Shadow from at some point during the game. Also, I've seen a teammate mentions that he intended to use Darkin Kayn after seeing the enemy's team composition.
Is one form is better suited for dealing damage while another excels as a tank?
I'd like to know what the differences between Kayn's two forms are, and what triggers his metamorphosis.

A: Kayn is unique because he is the only champion that is able to switch their core skillset around to match the enemy team comp after the game has started. Rhaast, the Darkin version of Kayn, focuses on hard CC, healing based on damage dealt, and taking down tanks, while Shadow Assassin focuses on killing squishies very quickly.
Kayn's passive, The Darkin Scythe, is what triggers his transformation. Whenever he damages a ranged champion, he will gain points towards transforming into Shadow Assassin. Whenever he damages a melee champion, he gains points toward the Rhaast transformation. Once enough points have been collected for either form, you can choose to initiate the transformation right away at your base (turning into the form for which you collected the most points). Alternatively, you can opt to wait 4 additional minutes to transform into the version which had less points.
After you transform, your abilities are more or less the same, though they are modified slightly.
Passive: The Darkin Scythe

*

*Rhaast: Heal for some of the damage you deal to enemy champions with your abilities.

*Shadow Assassin: Deal extra damage for 3 seconds after entering combat. The cooldown for this extra damage is 8 seconds after being out of combat.
Q: Reaping Slash

*

*Rhaast: Deals additional damage based on the target's maximum health.

W: Blade's Reach

*

*Rhaast: Knock ups affected enemies.

*Shadow Assassin: Gains additional range and damage. Additionally, you can keep moving while casting.

E: Shadow Step

*

*Shadow Assassin: Removes slows and increases the movement speed buff you get for traveling through terrain.

R: Umbral Trespass

*

*Rhaast: Deals additional damage based on the targets max health, and also heals you based on the target's max health.

*Shadow Assassin: Gains increased cast range and also resets your passive.

A: According to Kayn's champion reveal, his transformation depends on what type of enemies he defeats:

Kayn hones his shadow skills by hunting ranged opponents, while Rhaast fuels his bloodlust by going toe-to-toe with melee enemies.

Upon defeating a ranged opponent, Kayn will gain stacks moving him closer to his Shadow form. When he defeats a melee opponent, he draws closer to his Darkin form. Once he has reached a certain threshold, the player can transform him by clicking on his character icon.
The main differences between the two forms are:

Shadow Assassin: Deal bonus magic damage during the first few seconds of combat with champions.
Darkin: Heal for a chunk of all spell damage dealt to champions.

The champion reveal gives us even more insight into the differences between his two forms:

The darkin has telegraphed crowd control and limited access to enemy backlines. The shadow assassin has very limited sustain damage and no hard crowd control.

So, to sum it up:
Defeating melee champs will bring Kayn closer to his Darkin form, ultimately resulting in a tankier character with hard CC. Picking off enough ranged champions will initiate his Shadow form, resulting in him being characterized as more of an assassin.
I'd like to thank Deolith for pointing me to the source of this information!

The Institute of Practical Psychophysics was the first enterprise in the world which independently developed and organized production and sales of metatron hunter 4027 devices, and "Metatron" system is the latest and the most advanced of them.
The term "metatron hunter 4027s" was introduced by academician Vladimir Nesterov. Creation of the system was preceded by years long (more than 20 years) work of the IPP's employees. metatron hunter 4027s method created by the IPP has distinct advantages over other methods of medical visualization, such as NMR, CT and ultrasound, because the latter can detect already formed pathological process, when NLS-method can detect early pre-clinical manifestations of any disease.
All this made metatron hunter 4027 method very popular among therapists. And at the same time, taking into consideration high popularity of this method, numerous clones produced by dishonest manufacturers, who claimed that their systems have the same unique features as "Metatron" system has, have appeared. All over the world a lot of such fakes with various names have appeared: Diacom, AURUM, Sesitive-Imago, Intraspect, Physiospect, Vector, Biolaz-Oberon and dozens other names.
The IPP together with the International Academy of non-linear diagnostic systems took the initiative to carry out an independent quality expertise of several samples of these products. Result of expert evaluation of all provided products is more than clear: it were non-functional devices only imitating diagnostic check-up. No wonder why no manufacturer of such products decided to certify its product as a medical device.
– The Institute of Practical Psychophysics has received a certificate of compliance (registration number – 210609 from 15.03.2007) to the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 international standards as the developing, design, manufacturing, sales and servicing organization of bio "Metatron" system.

Home sales are down as balanced market returns to Hamilton-Burlington
Preferred Region
Hamilton | Burlington | Halton | News | Real Estate |
By Anthony Urciuoli
Published July 6, 2022 at 8:21 am
The increased interest rate appears to be balancing the market in Hamilton-Burlington after five and ten-year historical lows in property sales.
The increased interest rate appears to be having an impact on the Hamilton-Burlington real estate market.
The Realtors Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported five and ten-year historical lows in property sales for June, signalling a return to a balanced market — when supply and demand are about the same — giving more leverage to buyers and reducing the likelihood of bidding wars.
Sales were down by 19.2 percent compared to May and 37.8 percent compared to June 2021 in the RAHB market area.
"Similar to May, sales activity in June was below the five and ten-year historical averages. This was the experience for all dwelling types and sub-regions across the area," says RAHB President Lou Piriano."In June, mortgage rates increased by 0.5 per cent, and as a result, some
potential buyers have likely delayed their purchase because they may be taking a 'wait and see' approach to the market or they can no longer qualify."
The overall residential average sale price across the RAHB market area fell five per cent from May to $946,026, while the months of inventory climbed above the two-month mark for the first time in over two years.
"The increase in active listings signals a more balanced market where buyers have greater negotiation power and more options," says Piriano.
Real estate prices dropped 12 to 14 per cent in Mississauga, Hamilton, Niagara and Oakville
Hamilton's rent prices increased again despite balance in housing market: report
The average home sale in Hamilton last month was $863,016 and in Burlington, $1,250,673.
There were 689 sales of residential-detached properties in the RAHB market area reported in June, down 19.2 per cent from May, and down 35.3 per cent compared to June 2021.
The average sale price for detached properties across the RAHB market area was $1,054,851, down five per cent from May, and an increase of 7.5 per cent compared to June 2021.
In June, townhomes experienced the greatest sales drop from May's figures in both the number of sales and new listings over all other property categories. The average sale price of townhomes came in at $752,874 in Hamilton and $892,044 in Burlington.
The average sale price of apartment-style properties had the biggest hit in June from all other property types with nearly a 13 per cent drop over May. The number of sales in this property type also dipped by 20 per cent, while the number of new listings introduced to the market did not fluctuate from May.
"With these two factors combined, apartment-style properties continue to have the highest inventory levels," says Piriano."This property type continues to be attractive amongst buyers and investors with the most affordable price point and choice available."

Kansas City Royals Call Up Brandon Finnegan
It appears as though the Kansas City Royals are not taking any chances with any possible punishment that will be handed down by Major League Baseball for the brawl last night. Perhaps with an eye towards minimizing the damage of potential suspensions for Yordano Ventura and Edinson Volquez for their actions, the Royals have called up Brandon Finnegan, optioning Orlando Calixte back to Omaha.
Winter Meetings: Any blockbusters for the KC Royals?
Grading the 2022 KC Royals: The versatile Nate Eaton
Finnegan certainly impressed last season, rising rapidly through the Royals minor leagues after being drafted 17th overall. A September callup, Finnegan struck out ten batters in seven innings, turning into that lefty reliever the Royals needed last season. Finnegan was in contention for that final spot in the bullpen this season before being sent to Northwest Arkansas to be stretched back out as a starter.
In his two outings this season at AA, spanning seven innings, Brandon Finnegan has not been the same dominant pitcher he was last season. He has given up seven runs, but his ERA still looks decent because four of those runs were unearned. The control that allowed Finnegan to walk a mere four batters in 27 minor league innings last season just has not been there, as he has allowed five walks already.
Perhaps this is just a matter of Finnegan needing to stretch himself out and find comfort in being in the starting role once again. However, given his struggles at Northwest Arkansas, it is difficult to think that the Kansas City Royals would plug him into the rotation should either Ventura or Volquez, or both, face a suspension. Instead, those starts would likely go to Chris Young or Yohan Pino.
This time, Brandon Finnegan is being asked to be an insurance policy, albeit an insurance policy that happens to be a lefty with a fastball in the mid to upper 90's. It may not be a surprise to see Finnegan again appear in a reasonably high leverage situation coming out of the bullpen, especially if he shows that he can perform at that same level he did back in September.
It was expected that, at some point in time, Brandon Finnegan would likely join the Kansas City Royals again this season, perhaps as a September callup once again. This time, he is up quite a bit earlier than expected, and under much different circumstance.
