Jasmin Hardie is the baritone saxophonist in the WA Wind Symphony. She is in her third year of study at WAAPA, studying classical saxophone. Jasmin studied the first two years of her Bachelor degree in her hometown of Brisbane at the Queensland Conservatorium.
Teaching music has always been Jasmin's biggest passion so she started teaching when she was still in high school. Whilst studying music at university, she also realised she has a passion to perform. This realisation let her to come to Perth to study. Jasmin still plans to study education after her degree, aiming to pass on her passion for teaching and performing that she has received from her music teachers.
Jasmin started playing the violin when she was 7 and quickly decided that music was my future. She began learning alto saxophone in high school and was bad enough to get kicked out of junior band. After 6 months of loud and obnoxious playing, her teacher decided to try her on a baritone saxophone, and within a few weeks Jasmin was not only put back into junior band but senior band as well.

Jack Bruce Paxton
Addressed As
Ensign Paxton
beastman1765
Primary Character
USS Adelphi
Ensign Jack Paxton
Jack Paxton was born in space aboard the USS Thunderbird, and Akira-class starship. His mother took him back to Earth so he could go to Starfleet Academy. Up to his Academy days, his schooling and life were fairly boring, almost the same routine, day after day. When he arrived at the Academy, he couldn't decide on what type of career he wanted to go into. He, for sure, wanted his own starship, but he knew it was going to be a while before that would happen. So, for the mean time, he chose an operations career. Throughout his days at the Academy, he realized that he wanted to be a tactical officer more than anything, so he switched main topics from helm to tactical. When he graduated the academy, he was placed on the USS Denver as a security officer. He was promoter to LtJG a month before the Denver was decommissioned. His new assignment was on the Adelphi, where his dream of becoming a chief security/tactical officer would be complete.

Special – MACHINE LEARNING
The State of Machine Learning in Academia
by John Murray
Machine learning is being driven at a rate of knots by giants like Google and Amazon
The sweeping up of talent has affected academia, though, and there are concerns over the sustainability of the industry's progress
The die is very much cast when it comes to the growth of machine learning. With the expansion of tech companies like Google, Amazon and Uber, artificial intelligence-based research and products is a growth industry that's only just getting started.
Research from the International Data Commission forecasts that spending on AI and ML will rise from $12 billion in 2017 to $57.6 billion by 2021. The skyrocketing research funding into these fields is mirrored by the resulting patents being filed, with machine learning patents increasing by 34% between 2013 and 2017.
As the number of commercial products that are built on these architectures increases, so will the demand for engineers and researchers to work on them. This translates into handsome salaries at some of the world's leading tech companies.
At the time of writing, the average salary for a machine learning engineer in the United States was listed on some employment sites at around $138,000. There is concern from some in the field of academia that high starting salaries and assorted perks could result in a brain drain from universities, with candidates who would previously have continued their research at established institutions being poached into careers.
"The creme de la creme of academia has been bought and that is worrying."
In a Guardian article from November 2017, Maja Pantic, professor of affective and behavioural computing at Imperial in London, noted that one of her students dropped his PhD in its final year to go and work at Apple for a six-figure salary. "It's five times the salary I can offer," Paja said. "It's unbelievable. We cannot compete. The creme de la creme of academia has been bought and that is worrying."
Just how prevalent this is, though, is a matter of some debate. To get a better idea of the state of the machine learning field in relation to its industrial demand, Binary District Journal spoke to Chelsea Finn, PhD candidate at Berkeley. A respected machine learning academic, she will join the Stanford faculty in 2019, and has also worked at Google Brain.
Upsides and Downsides
Chelsea believes demand is outstripping supply at the moment. A particular skill set in demand is the intersection of machine learning with real robot hardware - with the ability to run experiments on physical robots.
"A lot of people are a bit afraid of working with real systems because they can take a fair amount of time to get set up," Chelsea says, "and these might be people who prefer much faster prototyping in simulated domains."
However, Chelsea believes that the matter of researchers forgoing the traditional extended academic pathways in favour of joining tech companies is an area that is not necessarily black and white.
"Academics can build better connections with industry labs and this can mean that there is better access for some academics to industry-level compute and industry-level data resources."
"I think there are benefits and downsides to what is currently happening," she says. "I think that the benefits are that academics can build better connections with industry labs and this can mean that there is better access for some academics to industry-level compute and industry-level data resources, but I also think that there are certainly downsides.
"Many schools have faculty that are spending more time in industry and less time in academia. This leads to fewer faculty that are available to teach classes. It also leads to faculty potentially having more conflicts of interest and they're not necessarily an independent academic entity that's trying to conduct research independently of any companies' interests, and now have an affiliation with a company."
A Rising Tide Raises All Ships
That being said, Chelsea is quick to note that she does see the benefit of working with companies on a part-time basis. There are certain situations in machine learning research where, to effectively make progress, you need the large-scale computing and robotic hardware that are only really available in larger tech companies' R&D labs.
Having a role in tackling those projects is an appealing scenario. These are quite specialised problems though, and Chelsea points out that in her experience, the level of compute in the university labs that she has worked in (and will work in at Stamford) is more than up to the task.
Chelsea is not just furthering her own research, but also looking for ways to secure the continued growth of machine learning.
"As a member of the machine learning community and the research community, it's really easy to notice that it's not a diverse community in terms of a number of different metrics – in terms of race, gender and economic background," Chelsea says. "I hope to make a positive change and a positive impact on the diversity of the community through various outreach efforts."
In 2017, Chelsea co-organised the first BAIR Camp – a week-long program in partnership with AI for All that invited underprivileged high school students from the Bay Area to learn more about the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence. She believes that getting students not only interested, but also directly involved in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence, is an important step in securing the future of these fields of R&D.
"The goal is to broaden the diversity of the field, but it's not just that. It's so that the technologies that are developed are beneficial not just for the people in the field but for the broader demographics of the world," says Chelsea.
An Issue of Demand and Supply
Clearly, the scope for and demand for machine learning expertise is only going to continue increasing. Speaking from a position of academia and with experience at the company level, Chelsea Finn points out that the issue with machine learning scalability isn't a simple case of academics being poached by the allure of the private sector. The issue is that, as an area of research and resulting careers, machine learning has to reach a wider set of demographics who are then able to participate in it.
"The issue of demand outweighing supply is a natural result of the very success and progress of machine learning development."
Because of the close links between academic institutions and the major tech firms, we are increasingly seeing examples of educational resources being offered by companies. Google has developed an education platform on the fields of AI and machine learning, allowing universal access to scholarly material and hands-on projects.
These resources form an important supplement to burgeoning AI projects and startups. Clearly, it is short-sighted to see tech giants like Google as lumbering behemoths, hoovering up the resources and expertise of the machine learning fields.
The issue of demand outweighing supply is a natural result of the success and progress of machine learning development. However, greater collaboration between academia and companies, combined with a greater push for earlier and more inclusive education in these fields, is a positive step in ensuring the industry's continued scalability.
Life Imitating Art
In a slightly dystopian move, depending on your perspective, the UK police force has been dabbling with machine learning. Of particular note is software that can supposedly make predictions regarding an individual's proclivity for future crime. A report from RUSI found that there is a 'concerning' lack of regulatory framework currently in place to halt the progress of such systems.
If this all seems a little too 'Minority Report' for your liking, you're not alone. There have been numerous calls for complete transparency of the programme. RUSI also found that there are significant concerns over the "efficacy and efficiency of different systems, their cost-effectiveness, their impact on individual rights and the extent to which they serve valid policing aims." Without such transparency, how are we to know if this is a panacea or just phrenology for the Instagram generation.

The Buddhist monastic center of Nalanda
Nalanda is a Buddhist monastic centre situated in southwest of Bihar Sharif in central Bihar state, northeastern India. Nalanda's traditional history dates to the time of the Buddha and Mahavira, the originator of the Jaina religion. Extensive excavations done by the Archaeological Survey of India demonstrate, in any case, that the establishment of the monasteries belongs to the Gupta period. The powerful seventh century leader of Kanauj (Kannauj), Harshavardhana, is accounted for to have contributed to them. Nalanda kept on thriving as a centre of learning under the Pala line and it turned into a centre of religious sculpture in stone and bronze.
Founded in the 5th century AD, Nalanda – 15km north of Rajgir – was one of the ancient world's great universities and an important Buddhist centre of academic excellence. When Chinese scholar and traveller XuanZang visited sometime between 685 and 762 AD, about 10,000 monks and students lived here, studying theology, astronomy, metaphysics, medicine and philosophy. It's said that Nalanda's three libraries were so extensive they burnt for six months when foreign invaders sacked the university in 1193.
As per explorers' records, from Gupta times the monasteries of Nalanda were surrounded by a high wall. Allow at least an hour or two for wandering the extensive monastery ruins. They're peaceful and well maintained with a parklike atmosphere of clipped lawns and shrubs. The red-brick ruins consist of 11 monasteries and six temples. Before the monasteries stood a row of bigger sanctums, or stupas in brick and plaster. The whole complex is alluded to on seals found there as Mahavihara. A museum at Nalanda houses a significant number of treasures found in the excavations. In 2016 the vestiges were assigned an UNESCO World Heritage site. About 1.5km beyond the Nalanda ruins (bear left, then right, then take the first right turn after Surya Kund pond), you'll find the striking NandyavartaMahal at Kundalpur, a temple complex believed by the Digambar Jain sect to be the birthplace of Lord Mahavira.

Herbert Jordan Adams (1838 – 1 March 1912) was an English entomologist.

Adams was born in London in 1838. His schoolboy collection of butterflies and moths formed the basis of an excellent collection of British Lepidoptera. Following the death of his mother and the sale of her house and land at Chase Park, Enfield, Adams moved to a nearby house, Roseneath, and amassed 68 cabinets and some 600 cartons of European and World butterflies. He employed Percy Ireland Lathy to curate the collection and describe the new species it contained. He became a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society in 1877.

Adams died at Enfield in 1912. His collection of British Lepidoptera was bequeathed to the Enfield Entomological Society, of which he was a co-founder. The main collection, containing very rare species of Papilionidae, Ornithoptera, Morpho, Agrias, Catagramma, Prepona, and Charaxes, was given to the Natural History Museum where it is now conserved.

Here's Why So Many Homes Have Brass Doorknobs
These old-school fixtures are so much more than a pretty face.
Whenever you visit an older house, you may notice a few peculiar features. From mysteriously matching front doors to the razor slits in medicine cabinets, these old-fashioned features deliver rustic charm in spades. But did you know some of them still have modern-day benefits? Such is the case with brass doorknobs, whose beauty is only half of their appeal.
A Brief History of the Modern Doorknob
Though ceramic and china doorknobs were popular in France and England, the cast-metal doorknob as we think of it today was invented in the mid-19th century in America. Accounts vary—over 100 doorknob patents were filed between 1830 and 1873!—but the invention is largely credited to a 16-year-old Black inventor named Osbourne Dorsey in 1848.
The main body of these doorknobs was made of steel or iron, but to beautify them, manufacturers coated them in a thin layer of bronze or brass. Soon, brass—a durable, relatively inexpensive copper alloy—became the standard veneer.
Little did manufacturers know that scientists would later discover the alloy had anti-microbial and disinfectant properties.
Do Brass Doorknobs Disinfect Themselves?
To an extent, yes. Through a process known as the "oligodynamic effect," copper and its alloys—like brass—self-disinfect over time. This is because the copper ions can bind to bacteria, viruses, and pathogens, and basically destroy many of those cells in as little as 15 minutes.
One 2015 study found that when medical components were made from copper alloys, an "83% reduction in bacteria was seen on [them] … compared to the surfaces made from standard materials."
In contrast, stainless steel, one of the most commonly used materials in both clinical and domestic environments, can harbor numerous pathogens and other microorganisms that "evade cleaning regimens." Yikes!
Do Brass Doorknobs Need to Be Cleaned?
It's easy to see that brass doorknobs have their own special magic to impart upon your home. However, it's important to note that brass alone is not a foolproof disinfectant. Brass doorknobs still need to be cleaned effectively to kill off any lingering bacteria.
How to Clean Brass Doorknobs
There are numerous ways to clean brass hardware, but the easiest methods use either Bar Keeper's Friend or a lemon juice and baking soda mixture.
Dish soap (optional)
Bar Keeper's Friend (BKF) or vinegar and baking soda
Old toothbrush
Soft, damp cloth
Soft, dry cloth
First, carefully remove the doorknob using the screwdriver. Brush off any dust or debris. Then, soak the knob in the water for one or two minutes. You can add a drizzle of dish soap if the knob is particularly grimy.
If using BKF, do not dry the knob. Sprinkle the BKF directly onto it. If cleaning with lemon juice and baking soda, mix one teaspoon of baking soda with a tiny amount of lemon juice to make a thick paste. Slather the paste onto the knob.
Gently scrub the knob using the old toothbrush. Feel free to add more water or lemon juice as needed. After one to two minutes of scrubbing, rinse off the knob.
Buff the knob with the damp cloth, then dry and polish with the dry cloth. Reattach the doorknob and voila: a shiny-clean fixture that will help keep your home sanitary for decades to come! Don't forget to use this cleaning secret regularly to keep your knobs sparkling throughout the year.

In the past few weeks, there have been various reports not only from tech sites, but from users, that their battery life on the iPhone 4S has been less than stellar. The problems seems to stem from what network a user is on, usage patterns and other factors. Apple has of course been quiet about it (don't want to hurt those precious iPhone 4S sales or make people think Apple products aren't invincible!) but the support forums are filled with posts on the issue.
Apple haven't offered any advice on how to help the battery life, but the support forums have some posts from users that suggest limiting notifications and turning off a feature that automatically adjusts to new time zones.

One of the marvelous transformations to be witnessed is a lonely expanse of World War II concrete ramp morphing into a colorful, energetic, ultimately cool place to hang out, look at lots of modern airplanes of all kinds, talk flying to your old pals and new friends, catch a forum, participate in a workshop, and take a demo flight — or several — if you're in the market for a new airplane.
In fact, taking a demo flight is one of the main reasons people come to events like the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida, and is the main reason vendors bring their shiny, new airplanes.
It's a match made in heaven and all pilots are invited.
With its 15th running held Jan. 23-26, 2019, at Sebring Regional Airport (KSEF) in Florida, the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo is the grandaddy of Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) and Sport Pilot kit shows. Since 2004 when the Sport Pilot/Light-Sport Aircraft regulation was introduced, Sebring's success has led to a series of LSA events that emulate the original, including the Midwest LSA Expo and DeLand Sport Aviation Showcase.
Smaller shows have proven appeal. While they don't feature the vast crowds of the big national events, they bring clearly interested, often motivated buyers for Light-Sport Aircraft and Sport Pilot kit aircraft — the latter term referring to any homebuilt design that can be flown by someone with a Sport Pilot certificate with no need for an aviation medical.
Sebring triggered this sector-specific phenomenon thanks to the foresight of Bob Wood, who passed in the last year, but is now memorialized by the big Show Center tent at the Expo named in his honor.
Onsite at Sebring many business owners mentioned the then-ongoing government shutdown. It was having definite effects on the industry. The FAA's inability to make aircraft inspections — as required for every new Special LSA — prevented some vendors from getting the Special Airworthiness certificates needed to complete deliveries of new SLSA to customers.
Nonetheless, many aircraft representatives were ready to show their latest wares and a few aircraft heralded new offerings.
Cruiser Aircraft, the importer for Czech Sport Aircraft, offered its new SportCruiser LTE, a lighter, simpler, lower cost version of the popular LSA. Powered by a Rotax 912 ULS2 100-horsepower engine, the LTE model comes with a single Dynon HDX digital instrument, cloth seats, and reduced weight.
Cruiser Aircraft, the U.S. importer for Czech Sport Aircraft, showed this new LTE model aimed at flight schools.
Marketing and Sales Manager Josh Scheid said the LTE, priced in the low $140,000s, is aimed at flight schools looking to offer a modern new aircraft to students and reap very low operating costs as a benefit.
He added that Cruiser Aircraft can increase equipment to suit a flight school's needs, including certified Garmin gear to permit IFR flight training.
Magnum Fusion — Magnum Aircraft USA is the manufacturer of a Hungarian design called Fusion 212. The design was first seen by Americans at the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture in 2018.
Magnum Aircraft USA brought its Fusion 212 for visitors to examine and pilots to fly. The aircraft was also flown for a Video Pilot Report that will later appear on YouTube.
Designed in 2013 with first flight in 2015, and FAA acceptance as a Special LSA in 2017, Fusion is one of the newest aircraft in the popular SLSA List, in the #146 spot.
Demo flying is what Sebring boasts as a main attraction. Seen over demo pilot Shannon Diaz's head is the Sebring airport, which sits directly adjacent to the famous Sebring International Raceway.
The U.S. assembly site brings in carbon components from Hungary, but the American operation is acknowledged by the FAA as the official producer of the LSA version, according to boss Istvan Foldesi.
This all-carbon-fiber design is a low-wing, side-by-side model with dashing performance featuring quick climb rates with the Rotax 912 ULS. Fusion cruises at 110-115 knots and exhibits very accommodating handling.
Titan Aircraft boss John Williams brought a pair of his sleek designs for attendees to examine.
Everyone, it appears, loves the P-51 Mustang. Likewise, Titan's impressive 75%-scale T-51 Mustang kit has proven to be a sure airshow visitor attraction and this time was no different. Despite a far lower price tag than the original, T-51 is amazingly true to form.
Always capable of grabbing attention is Titan Aircraft's T-51 75%-scale Mustang kit-built aircraft. The company also brought a Tornado kit that has attracted buyers for many years.
Having flown the original prototype many years back, I can attest to the appeal of this interesting flying machine. I've also flown in a striking Stewart P-51 lookalike powered by a 450-horsepower Corvette engine. Neither matches a full-sized North American P-51 with 1,695 horsepower, but for capable kit builders the T-51 can deliver an intense sensation of nostalgia, plus a taste of what it must have been like for hundreds of 20-something fighter jocks in World War II.
Although the T-51 is not usually built for use by a Sport Pilot certificate holder — larger engines make it too fast — Titan's replica kit was released in 2005, the same year as the very first SLSA acceptances by the FAA.
More approachable and affordable is the company's Tornado kit with long, lean lines. In the heyday for two-place ultralights, before Light-Sport Aircraft arrived on the scene, Tornadoes in various forms drew crowds at shows. I can attest to its crisp handling and lively performance. Its taut fuselage was often compared to a fighter jet, motivating some creative builders to equip and paint their Tornadoes to enhance that imagery.
SilverLight Aviation showed off a new removable full enclosure on its gyroplane, a category of aircraft that has taken Europe by storm in recent years and is a fast growing category in the USA. SilverLight enjoyed a good year of business in 2018, according to company officials.
The American Ranger AR1 offers a very large canopy. Optically superb, I found no distortions when looking anywhere on its great expanse of acrylic. The canopy can be removed for summertime or local area flying.
Designer and business owner Abid Farooqui explained that two people are needed for about 10 minutes to remove the big enclosure to permit open air flying. A few more minutes are needed to install a motorcycle-style windscreen that transforms AR1 into the open tandem seater the company first offered.
SilverLight Aircraft showed its new full enclosure for its American Ranger AR-1 modern gyroplane.
When I flew the enclosed AR1 at Sebring, I asked pilot/instructor Greg Spicola to proceed as though I was a new gyroplane student. That's close to accurate as I have about four hours under my belt in a variety of gyroplanes. However, except for a few differences associated with a spinning wing, AR1, like all gyroplanes, can be flown essentially as you'd operate a fixed wing LSA.
"Power before pitch" was a mantra Greg drilled into me and that, with a few other differences — such as operating the rotor pre-rotator and learning to brake the rotor disk before making abrupt turns on the ground — are easy enough skills to acquire. Doing so only takes a bit of "unlearning" so fixed wing habits don't result in the wrong actions by the pilot.
These aircraft are special in many ways — the ability to descend vertically (although not land that way) and to make seriously tight turns about a point — that combine with massive visibility at affordable prices, all of which explain some of the growing popularity of these aircraft types.
Among real bargains are a class of LSA called powered parachutes. With the lowest training requirement in aviation — FARs specify only 12 hours are required to earn a Sport Pilot certificate in them — these aircraft offer a docile type of flying that boast the best visibility in aviation combined with slow flying speeds (30s mph) that allow you thoroughly absorb the view.
Infinity Power Parachutes' Frank Williams displayed the current line-up of Infinity models at Sebring.
The Challenger is a single place, Rotax 503-powered, true Part 103 aircraft that sells ready-to-fly complete with big off-runway tires, a 375-square-foot canopy, and engine instrumentation for mere $17,000. Given the average price of a new car in America is twice as much (reported at $33,000), I'd said Challenger qualifies as a bargain aircraft.
The two Commander models are powered either by the Rotax 582 (65 horsepower) or the Rotax 912 (80-100 horsepower). These tandem two-place aircraft use a 500- or 550-square-foot canopy.
Like Challenger, Infinity offers the two Commanders ready-to-fly as Special LSA. Delivery takes only four weeks and your aircraft will be delivered factory test-flown.
One surprise arrival on the Expo's final day was the hidden-from-view but not forgotten Aeromarine Mermaid LSA seaplane.
Chip Erwin's creation was the forerunner of the modern LSA seaplane category. The Mermaid arrived about the same time as the LSA sector was given birth by the FAA's new regulation. This clean sheet design wowed crowds at SUN 'n FUN and many responded by putting down deposits. For complex reasons I won't go into here, Mermaid never made the splash many anticipated, but neither has it disappeared.
A surprise arrival at the end of Sebring 2019 was this Mermaid Light-Sport Aircraft seaplane, the first to win FAA acceptance as a SLSA.
Before Mermaid, we had Progressive Aerodyne's Searey and Aero Adventure's Aventura. Both those models have been upgraded to ASTM standards compliance, but early in the new millennium it was accurate to call them "ultralight seaplanes" built of gusseted aluminum structures covered with sewn Dacron surfaces. Appearing thoroughly modern, the all-metal Mermaid took a leap forward in the then-new category.
When Mermaid arrived at Sebring 2019 it replaced another LSA seaplane that chose to exit its space early. The shoulder-wing design steadily attracted interested pilots. Mermaid was the first LSA seaplane to declare compliance with ASTM standards and was catalogued #28 on the popular SLSA List at ByDanJohnson.com.
So, after 15 years, has Sebring accomplished it goals? In one very concrete way, yes!
Not only has this first-of-the-year event become the season kick-off — often while the north endures weather events such as a Polar Vortex — the show has also accomplished two worthy goals.
The Sport Aviation Expo has put Sebring's airport on the map, in much the way auto racing popularized this central Florida town. In turn, this has encouraged numerous tenants to establish operations at the airport, bringing new revenue sources, as well as excitement about better services and product availability.
Lockwood Aviation Supply and Lockwood Aircraft, developer of the twin-engine AirCam, has been a tenant for many years. More recently, light aircraft giant Tecnam set up its U.S. operation at Sebring, occupying a large hangar.
At this year's Sebring Expo, we learned of more additions.
At the end of a very strong Friday when crowds were at their thickest, many attended Duc Propellers USA's grand opening party celebrating the French prop maker's new American headquarters at the Sebring airport.
The new facilities will provide North American sales, service, and maintenance for the Duc line of props.
Duc has made great inroads into the Light-Sport and Sport Pilot kit space. At the kick-off party, Duc assembled an impressive number of airplanes from the Expo — each fitted with Duc props, of course — providing a mini-airshow right outside the hangar door.
Veteran FBO and flight school operator Lou Mancuso recently established the Sebring Flight Academy at the airport. This new enterprise is set up to help young people get their training in preparation for commercial flying, doing so in an innovative and very economical way. Although he had many choices, Mancuso selected Sebring for his new operation.
During our exit video interview with Sebring Regional Airport Executive Director Mike Willingham and Executive Assistant Bev Glarner, the two leaders revealed the newest tenant to sign up for space. Art Tarola's A-B Flight, one of the representatives for Evektor and its Harmony and SportStar LSA, will now call Sebring home.
Yes, Sebring is definitely on the map these days and the Sport Aviation Expo helped put it there.


May I Have A New Judge Assigned To My N.J. Divorce?
Probably not. The lawyers at our East Brunswick, New Hersey law firm have heard this request from our divorce client's many times over the years. Long story short, your attorney will likely have a difficult time having a new judge assigned to your divorce in a New Jersey Family Court. This divorce case provides a great analysis of what is required to do so.
In Ramundo v. Ramundo, Gino S. Ramundo appealed from a final judgment of divorce entered by the Superior Court of New Jersey, Family Part of Bergen County on May 8, 2014. Among other things, Gino argued that Judge Mizdol should have recused herself from the proceedings. Gino also argued that the November 14, 2013 order that struck his complaint, and limited his participation at trial to cross-examination was unjust, because it prevented him from fully participating in the hearing. After a thoughtful review, the New Jersey Appellate Division dismissed both of Gino's arguments.
Judge Mizdol signed an order on June 27, 2013 stating that discovery issues had to be addressed before settlement negotiations could continue. As such, she ordered Gino to submit, certain documents relating to his businesses, within thirty days. Judge Mizdol stated that Gino's attorney did not request reconsideration of the order, nor did he seek an appeal. Rita complied with the discovery obligations of the order, but Gino merely submitted a short response out of time. A a later hearing, Judge Mizdol informed Gino that the violations of the June 27, 2013 order would not be tolerated, and that his failure to comply could result in sanctions, counsel fees, and the suppression of evidence.
Rita filed a motion to strike Gino's pleadings, bar presentation of evidence, draw negative inferences, and limit Gino's trial participation to just cross-examination. She provided a detailed certification of a financial analyst relating to the outstanding discovery. According to the certification, Gino had failed to provide documentation to account for over $ 3 million of the marital estate that was in his sole control. Judge Mizdol heard oral argument on this motion on November 14, 2013. She found that just because the discovery in this case was complicated did not mean that Gino was relieved of his duty to provide that discovery, and that he was flagrantly disregarding the court rules. Consequently Judge Mizdol limited Gino's trial participation to cross-examination.
On appeal, Gino argued, among other things, that Judge Mizdol should have recused herself. The New Jersey Appellate Division found Gino's claim to be completely without merit. The appellate panel stated that the judge's continued involvement did not in anyway appear to be improper. In fact, it is routine for judges to preside over matters in which negative information about one person is presented.
Moreover, Gino had himself waived any objection to the judge's involvement. He stated that he was satisfied were the judge's explanation that she was just the "middleman" who conveyed the information from a third judge to the initial assignment judge, and characterized it as "more than adequate." The appellate panel explained that according to the invited error doctrine, errors at trial that are encouraged, induced or acquiesced in, or consented to by the defense are generally not a valid basis for reversal on appeal. This principle of law gives further credence to the common sense notion that a disappointed party cannot just appeal and argue that a previous ruling was in error if the same party allowed the lower court to adopt the position which is now being alleged to be erroneous.
Gino also argued that the November 14, 2013 order that limited his participation at trial to cross-examination was unjust, because it prevented him from fully participating in the hearing. However the New Jersey Appellate Division held that the interest of justice demanded this order be entered. Judge Mizdol detailed the exact discovery that Gino was required to provide within thirty days in the June 27, 2013 order. Gino failed to meet this burden, and a week after the deadline had passed, he merely submitted a response that even his own lawyer stated was incomplete, disorganized, and "garbage." Furthermore, at another settlement conference, Judge Mizdol explicitly cautioned Gino that she would enter sanctions against him if he failed to provide the needed information. Rita officially filed a motion for sanctions on October 9, and only then did Gino provide more discovery, more than two weeks later on October 29.
Judge Mizdol heard oral argument on Rita's discovery motion on November 14. Gino's lawyer argued that upon receiving the motion, Gino "began to diligently work on assembling materials that were in the order," and had provided a significant amount of documents. He claimed that Gino could not get the other documents because either they did not exist, or his business partner failed to provide them. He further argued that that in 2012 he let a financial expert have access to his records storage facility, and that this should be considered as the equivalent of complying with the discovery orders. The judge found that this argument was superficial and misleading, because it was not the expert's responsibility to sift through the documents, put them in a sensible format and submit them, it was Gino's responsibility. The New Jersey Appellate Division agreed. He had the duty to put all the information together, and he can not just leave it to an expert to go through the hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of documents. That would make a mockery of the discovery process.
Moreover, Gino's response was late and inadequate. This discovery process had been going on for three years, and while he did produce some documentation in October, the judge stated that it should have been produced two years ago. The New Jersey Appellate Division agreed that Gino's behavior was a flagrant and willful disregard of the Family Part's June 27, 2013 order. As such, the New Jersey Appellate Division agreed that striking his complaint and limiting his participation at trial to mere cross-examination was a proper and appropriate sanction. Therefore, the New Jersey Appellate Division dismissed both of Gino's arguments, that the judge should have recused herself, and that his participation at trial should not have been limited.

That might seem harsh, but the Midlanders have shown nothing new this season that suggests they will arrive in Croke Park on July 17 with anything other than a damage limitation game-plan yet again.
Moral victory fever has gripped Westmeath as they prepare to welcome home their heroes on Sunday week.
The bunting and flags are being unfurled from Moate to Mullingar and the open top bus is on standby in anticipation of a night of celebrating the men from the lake county keeping the losing score down to under fifteen points again this year against the Dubs.
With a Leinster title on the line last year, Westmeath lacked the courage and ambition to try to win it and instead parked two double decker buses in front of their posts in a vain effort not to concede goals and keep the losing margin to a minimum.
The 2016 version of the Midlanders is no different, and they have used their championship games to date to showcase the same safety first game plan that is designed to frustrate Dublin's lethal forward division.
Unfortunately for Westmeath, it's a poor man's version of Donegal which will guarantee nothing more than yet another championship game bereft of any excitement or entertainment and another Leinster Final loss.
Westmeath should heed the words of the late great Muhammad Ali: "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life", and throw off the shackles and have a cut at the Dubs.
What have they got to lose by having a little ambition?

How To Wash Squishmallows? A Simple Guide


When it comes to your health, your dentist is one of the first resources in your line of defense against disease and health concerns. Whether you realize it or not, your mouth shows signs of major health concerns that affect your whole body—not always dental issues. The team at The Dentists on Bluemound will keep an eye out for large problems and address them as soon as possible. This includes oral cancer, gum disease, and the diseases that could develop from advanced gum disease. Let's explore what one of our dental experts could run into during your next dental checkup.
Many patients don't realize they could have been taking action to prevent gum disease by regularly visiting their dentist. During your appointment, you will receive a thorough cleaning that dramatically reduces the chances of developing gum disease. Your dentist and or hygienist may notice these symptoms if your mouth is becoming infected with gum disease.
It's no secret—your mouth and the rest of your body have an intimate connection. In fact, if you don't regularly and properly remove dental plaque and bacteria, your overall health could suffer. Healthy gums and teeth keep your body equally strong. When gums deteriorate from advanced gum disease, your body tries to protect itself with inflammation, leaving your bloodstream susceptible to dental plaque buildup. You could experience strokes, heart disease, kidney disease, and develop diabetes.
A sore that will not heal or bleeds profusely.
A lump in the hard or soft tissues of your mouth.
Change in oral tissue color.
Numbness or pain in areas around the mouth.
Difficulty swallowing, talking, earing, or moving the jaw or tongue.
It's important to seek treatment for oral cancer during its preliminary stages. The chances of surviving oral cancer is nearly doubled if treated early on.
The team at The Dentists on Bluemound is here to help!
When you make a visit to our office for a general dentistry appointment, our dentists always perform a comprehensive exam and review the information when it's completed. No matter what issues we notice—or even if we don't come across anything concerning at all—we will always keep open communication with you. At the end of the day, we want to work side by side with you—and even your physician if your health calls for it—to prevent advanced dental and overall health issues.


The City of Chesapeake joins a growing number of cities across the United States that are developing and implementing Ten Year Plans to End Homelessness. While homelessness itself has been characterized by hopelessness, in past years there has also been a sense of hopelessness for communities in dealing with the issue.
However, in recent years, a growing body of research has shown that it is possible to end homelessness with proactive plans, not just manage it. In communities that have developed and worked their plans, enormous strides have been made.

I was at PAX Prime over the weekend. All weekend, Shelbie kept asking me, "What do you think the last round of Omegathon will be?" I tried to explain from previous experience that it is IMPOSSIBLE to predict. True to its nature, the game this year was Super Mario Maker. With a nightmare level made by Nintendo just for PAX.
I wasn't super interested in Super Mario Maker. Until Omegathon. That thing was intense. And it was nightmarish. It looks awesome.

Why This 20-Year-Old Texan Has Been Standing Outside the Governor's Mansion All Week
She's sunburned. She's exhausted. But Sadie Hernandez, front, will keep standing till her message is heard — and others are joining her in droves. (Photo: Katy Waters-Cofer / Twitter)
Right now, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has a budget waiting for his approval on his desk that would eliminate the funding that allows Planned Parenthood to provide cancer screenings to low-income women.
Right now, 20-year-old Sadie Hernandez is standing outside the Texas governor's mansion, as she has daily for the past week, protesting the budget proposal and urging Abbott to meet with her and others who have joined her to let him know that "by targeting women, you're targeting everybody."
Hernandez, right, in red, is pictured with Representative Wendy Davis, center, and supporters in front of the governor's mansion in Austin, Texas. (Photo: Courtesy of Sadie Hernandez)
Here's the backstory: In a compromise proposed by Texas's House-Senate in late May, the budget committee decide to remove Planned Parenthood from the state's program to provide breast and cervical cancer screenings to low-income women, according to the Texas Tribune.
The conference committee is targeting 17 Planned Parenthood clinics; under the proposed budget — which slots all available cancer-screening providers into a three-tiered system — Planned Parenthood and other family-planning clinics that provide screenings would be in the lowest tier and last in line for funding, because they also provide abortions.
"There are many members [of the Texas legislation] that feel very strongly that the facilities that receive funding should not be facilities for performing abortions, so the answer is, don't perform abortions and you get the money," Sen. Jane Nelson, right, the state's chief budget writer, said to the Tribune in January.
However, the Texas Observer reports that women's health advocates, providers, and Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns about the "collateral damage" to low-income women that would occur if funding was cut from their local clinics.
That's where Sadie Hernandez comes in.
Hernandez first became involved with Planned Parenthood after attending a protest against HB2, the Texas law that would force the closure of all but eight abortion clinics in the state.
So when the news broke about a budget proposal that could affect low-income women and their prognosis in the face of cancer, Hernandez told her colleagues: "I'm going to be there every day." She's since become a hashtag, with her supporters tweeting out #StandWithSadie.
"They're trying to politicize something that shouldn't be politicized," Hernandez tells Yahoo Health, regarding the budget proposal and the way it jeopardizes the lives of women in need of cancer screenings. "Cancer affects everybody, and they're trying to take away access. They're leaving women on the outside."
And while the Texas heat has left Hernandez sunburned and exhausted as she continues to wait day after day for Abbott, she says, "My sunburn and my struggle is nothing like what women have to go through when they get cancer. And what women who can't afford health care have to go through when they find out if they have cancer. And if the budget passes, these women will have to drive hundreds of miles to go get a screening. All their problems will just explode. I'm out there every day protesting for the women who can't. I want to give a voice to women usually without a voice."
Hernandez is concerned that, should the budget pass, "there might not be a place for [low-income women and women of color] to go at all" for these critical cancer screenings.
She shares with Yahoo Health that her sister's boyfriend's mother recently found a lump in her breast. She is an uninsured single mother working multiple jobs to make ends meet and, in looking for a place to go get a screening to evaluate her lump, she found that other than Planned Parenthood, there are only two women's health centers available to women in her situation — each with a three-month wait for an appointment.
"If you take away Planned Parenthood [as a place for cancer screenings], [all low-income women] get thrown into two clinics — and a three-month waiting period that is already outrageous" will only get longer, forcing women into a position where they must "let their cancer spread until it becomes fatal" before they can even see a physician, she says.
Hernandez is from Brownsville, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, an area of the state with high levels of poverty where many lack health insurance. Now Hernandez about to head up her own Planned Parenthood Leadership and Advocacy Council in Brownsville, where she hopes to "destigmatize a lot of things." She says that "even the topic of comprehensive, age-appropriate sex ed" is taboo in her low-income Catholic community. "I want to teach the community that everything is a cycle. If you don't want unwanted pregnancies, if you don't want our community to have unintentional teen pregnancies, then you need to start young" with education about safe sex and birth control.
Speaking about Wednesday's ruling by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that has upheld HB2, the anti-abortion law that sparked Hernandez's interest in advocacy, Hernandez says, "The HB2 ruling and [the budget proposal and other proposed state laws] — these are attacks on women's health care in Texas." By planning to reduce access, Hernandez says, the courts and state legislators are failing to realize "that these are human lives at stake."

"They're trying to interfere with our individual liberties, our personal lives, and our personal decisions," she adds. "They talk about the importance of individual liberties, but are interfering with our human right to have accessible health care because of conflicting views" about reproductive rights.
"These constituents, these women — to them, they're just data," Hernandez says. "But these women have families and jobs to do. They are mothers, friends. They're human beings with lives." Continuing to legislate against women's ability to make their own health care decisions is telling women to let "their health go to waste and degenerate until they die," she says.
And should Hernandez get a chance to speak with Abbott himself?
"I want to let the governor know that he has the lives of thousands of Texas women in his hands," she says. "The budget may be a piece of paper, but it represents so many people."

At a time when many are disillusioned with big banks and big business, and growing inequity in our country, employee ownership offers a real solution for workers and communities. Shift Change is a new documentary (to have its world premiere on October 18, 2012, in Oakland, CA) that highlights worker-owned enterprises in North America and in Mondragon, Spain. The film couldn't be more timely, as 2012 has been declared by the U.N. as the "International Year of the Cooperative."
Take a look at the preview and please share your comments!
The North American worker cooperatives and the Mondragón cooperatives in SHIFT CHANGE tell a compelling story of real possibilities at a time when many think there are no solutions to this current difficult economic situation. Paul Hazen
SHIFT CHANGE brings you behind the scenes at some of the most exciting cooperative successes in Europe and the United States. This is a movement that's creating jobs, strengthening communities, and showing that another economy is possible. It's a movement that's taking off — and SHIFT CHANGE is the way to understand what's happening. Sarah Van Gelder, YES! Magazine
Place-based cooperative ownership is a vital dimension of the diverse, regenerative economy emerging right under our noses. Smell the roses! John FullertonPresidentCapital Institute
This is a very important film on a very important topic that is almost completely neglected by business schools. As our current economic structures veer ever closer to collapse, the cooperative alternative has become more and more attractive. Seeing the sophistication of these businesses and listening to these co-op member/owners talk about their work is totally inspiring. Another world IS possible – and it looks like this! Jill Bamburg, Bainbridge Graduate Institute
The U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives strongly supports SHIFT CHANGE. This film on worker cooperatives is a thorough, well-researched and inspiring work. Melissa Hoover
The purpose of SHIFT CHANGE is to encourage the development of work cooperatives in North America as one solution to our severe economic problems as well as a means for a regional economy to compete successfully in the global economy. We at the CMRC will use the documentary in many ways. Dan Swinney
One of the barriers to fostering cooperative values and businesses in North America is the lack of awareness of the benefits that well organized cooperatives with good business practices can offer to workers and communities. Educating the public to the cooperative approach to business is an important contribution which SHIFT CHANGE can make." Ted Howard
