The best thing about the world "ending" is that the resulting post-apocalyptic wasteland becomes a tapestry painted whatever the hell you the creator think is totally awesome. Do you want antiquated fashions to sit along side far future tech? Go for it! Want cool laser guns and slime monsters? Sure, dude! The end of the world is the ultimate sandbox– you stomp through it, destroying the creation of the kids there before you, then recreate it in your own totally radical image.
That's what stuck out to me the most upon rewatching Vampire Hunter D for the first time in at least a decade. We have this world set 10,000 years after the "fall" of human civilization. All the monsters and creatures of the night have returned to the world, and the remnants of humanity live in fear of things beyond their comprehension. Werewolves, witches, and mutants work together, all under the thrall of vampire Nobles who rule over the lands like feudal lords. Humans live in what amount to towns straight out of the Old West, using remnants of old technology to live like scrapyard homesteaders. It's a whole bunch of disassociated things mashed together to create a far flung future both alien and familiar, and that setting is pretty awesome.
The story itself is essentially a cross between Dracula and a Clint Eastwood western. Count Lee, the local vampire Noble, has taken a liking to one of this "subjects," Doris. He's going to turn Doris into a vampire, have some fun with her, and then dispose of her when he tires of her in 50 years or so. This isn't the tragic romance of Dracula proper, since there's no "she's the reincarnation of my beloved" sort of stuff going on. This is all a way for the immortal jerk to alleviate his boredom for a few decades. Doris wants no part of this and hires a Hunter to deal with her problem.
D is that classic example of the silent man of action. He speaks through his actions and through rare moments of imparted wisdom to those in need of it. He's the sort of character who exists solely to allow for the crazy events to transpire– a vessel for violence and strangeness. These sorts of characters are "cool" in that they're guides into a world far cooler than them.
That fact leads to my favorite scene in the movie. D enters Lee's castle, looking to rescue Doris before Lee can make her his bride. The entrance into the castle is lined with all manners of creatures and monsters– fanged worms, skeletons, slimes, and even a few Xenomorph-like things. Most of them don't make any moves on D, since he has some amulet that keeps them at bay. Because of that protection, they're just these things sitting there, pulsating and oozing with menace and fear. Their entire existence is to sit in this hallways and carry on with what's likely a painful, meaningless, agonizing existence.
That's the sort of world this is– the monsters exist not for any natural means, but to accentuate the power of the vampire Nobles, and D's stride through his hallway shapes the entire scope and vibe of the movie.
The rest of the movie hits some other interesting beats. Lee's number one henchman, Rei, gets a neat little arc. Rei's a mutant with space-altering powers– he can bend space around him, allowing him to teleport and redirect attacks. He works for Lee because he wants to become a Noble himself, but his aspirations are shot down repeatedly. He still bears a grudge against D and wants to see him dead, but he also ends up fighting against, and losing, to his master. Lee's daughter, Lamika, also has a decent story, where she learns of her father's hypocrisy, turns sides, yet still clings to her vampiric nobility. These supporting characters are all far more interesting than D himself, but his blank slate "cool" allows us to visit these characters and see their "minor" stories play out within a larger context.
But that's also part of what keeps Vampire Hunter D from being one of those all-time classics. It's largely a collection of cool moments and vibes, and while that alone makes it worth watching, it's not something that gels into a cohesive whole. If the entire thing was a sort of travelogue through this demented Old West Apocalypse, then that'd be one thing, but dwelling on the human characters and their plight isn't too interesting, and the back and forth of rescuing Doris more than once is far too repetitive for an 80 minute movie.
If only the entire movie was like D's passage through the castle– one weird encounter with a monster after another– basically Castlevania the anime. Still, it's totally worth revisiting. The Midwich Medusas and all of their fellow creatures are awesome to behold.
You may not have noticed, since I stuck the link up there a few weeks ago without saying anything about it, but I decided to take the plunge and set up a Patreon for this place.
If you dig what I do, and you have the means to do so, it'd be totally awesome and stuff if you could toss me a few bucks. I'm gonna work on some rewards or whatever to make it worth peeps' while, but for now it's just a straight-up donation thing.
If you have any suggestions or whatever, let me know. If you think I'm a horrible sell-out, let me know that too. Then give me money because you're probably a horrible sell-out too and we can all bask in the shame together.

DJS Peach Giveaway, a Maryland Unites Initiative
On August 12, the Department of Juvenile Services (DJS) held a Peach Giveaway for the community at the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center, participating in Governor Hogan's Maryland Unites, Day of Service Initiative. During the event, DJS gave away 2,000 pounds of peaches to people who live and work in Baltimore City. On the day of the event, hundreds of people stood in line with their recyclable, paper and plastic bags waiting to get their free organic peaches. When they got to the front of the line, many people discussed what they would do with the fruit. So many recipes were shared among strangers, coworkers and friends.
The event had a dual-purpose, to give DJS youth the experience of picking fresh peaches straight from the source and to give back to the Baltimore City community. In order to prepare for the event, the youth, staff and DJS Secretary Sam Abed traveled to Western Maryland to pick the peaches from Simmons Farm in Western Maryland. They then packed the fruit in crates and loaded a van to get the peaches back to Baltimore.
"Picking peaches with more than a dozen of our DJS kids was a unique and rewarding experience for all," said Secretary Abed. "Not only are we assisting our youth to become successful leaders, we are also distributing the organic fruit to the Baltimore City community."
In addition to picking 2,000 pounds of peaches, DJS youth also made over 48 jars of peach jam and some youth centers even made peach pies, both of which will be added to the facility menus until the limited supply runs out.
The peaches were donated by Lou Simmons, owner of Simmons Farm in Cumberland, Maryland. Simmons and DJS have a long standing partnership and have worked together in the past. DJS Youth picked apples from his orchard last fall.
Maryland Unites was created in April, in the wake of the civil unrest in Baltimore City, and has raised more than $500,000 toward relief efforts. The Day of Service initiative is an opportunity for State employees to offer their time and talents to benefit our citizens through community service.
"These days of service are about the spirit of giving back and sharing it with our state and our local communities," said Governor Hogan.

It can be uncomfortable for employers to discipline an employee, but situations do arise with employees that need to be addressed quickly and professionally. As an employer, your responsibility is to follow through with the discipline both in a timely fashion and in accordance with your organization's policies and procedures. All verbal reprimands to employees should be documented and kept as a record with employee's file to substantiate any further action that may be required in the future.
Generally, the verbal discussion that takes place between the employer and the employee outlines the problem and the corrective measures that the employee is expected to take. This discussion may also include a warning that points out the consequences to the employee should they fail to comply with the corrective measures discussed. It is highly recommended that the employer obtains a signature from the employee on this documentation detailing the conversation. This signifies that he or she clearly understands the severity of situation and proves that your discussion with them did take place.
If, after the verbal reprimand, the employee's performance is still not acceptable, either a warning letter or a termination letter will follow. The content of this letter must be brief and to the point.
This letter clearly identifies the problem and refers to the previous discussion you had with the employee on the issue. The reprimand letter is concise and specific about the poor performance issue at hand. It does not contain negative generalizations about the employee's character nor does it contain any language that may be construed as offensive or insulting.
A reprimand warning letter offers constructive criticism about the current poor performance while outlining the corrective measures that the employee had agreed to take. It reiterates the acceptable performance levels and sets a deadline for the expected level of improvement by the employee. This letter also contains a strong warning stating that failure of the employee to bring their performance up to the acceptable level within the time frame now set forth, will result in further action or termination.

General Motors has moved in a decidedly more liberal direction since raking in a $50 billion government bailout from the Obama administration.
The company pulled its funding from two embattled conservative legislative groups in June, saying that it did not want to get intertwined in politics. But that has not stopped the troubled carmaker from throwing its advertising money behind the liberal Huffington Post.
Cadillac, GM's luxury automobile brand, is a founding sponsor of HuffPost Live, the liberal website's video sister site. Its advertising dollars have given a new platform for Obama mega-donor and serial misogynist Bill Maher to wax political about "stupidest woman in the world," Sarah Palin.
Cadillac's funding for the new liberal venture follows their withdrawal of funding from the conservative Heartland Institute and embattled legislative group ALEC after pressure from leftwing groups.
In March, Obama's handpicked GM CEO Daniel Akerson visited a global warming interest group called Climate One at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club to pledge the company's commitment to the theory of man-made global warming.
"I am an individual and I have my own convictions," he said of his belief in global warming. "I find this Heartland Institute interesting … I'm going to take another look at it when I get back to Detroit."
The GM Foundation pulled its support of the institute two weeks later.
While GM has doubled down on green vehicles like the Chevy Volt, its stock has tumbled about 40 percent since its record-breaking IPO. That has saddled the taxpayers with a $16 billion loss on its 26 percent ownership stake in the company, leading to speculation that GM is teetering on the edge of another bankruptcy.
The car company's fiscal woes have not stopped them from splurging on lucrative advertising deals. The company signed the most expensive endorsement deal in history when it spent $600 million to display the Chevy logo on Manchester United's soccer uniforms.
The automaker and its bankrupt lending arm, Ally Bank, owe taxpayers $42 billion on their combined $57 billion bailout. The Treasury Department estimates that its stock would have to triple in order to fully repay government loans.

Report: Women make up 29% across all levels of Ohio government
Written on Feb 15, 2019
Women make up about 29% of Ohio's elected officials across all levels of government, according to a report by the Matriots, a political action committee working to elect more women.
The organization, founded in May of 2017, commissioned and paid for the report to determine the baseline of women's representation in government throughout Ohio.
The report collected the names of elected officials in county, city, township and village government; boards of education; and judicial positions, through the Ohio secretary of state's office. When the individual's gender wasn't available, researchers used a statistical software program to estimate gender using the first name, with a 4% margin of error for each level of government.
Researchers relied on the Rutgers University Center for American Women and Politics to collect the names of women elected on the federal and state level. At this level, the genders of the female politicians were all confirmed, not estimated.
The data for local government was collected for 2016-17 term, and the 2017-18 term for the other levels of government.
The report showed that women elected officials were most well represented on school boards, at 36%. Women were most underrepresented on the federal level, with 17%.
Additional insights:
Women elected officials made up 33% of elected positions in village governments statewide, 29% of county government and 25% of city government
Women elected officials made up 31% of elected judicial positions statewide
Women elected officials made up 22% of elected positions in state government
"On the whole, these findings line up with analyses of other states," said Barbara Palmer, Executive Director of the Baldwin Wallace Center for Women and Politics of Ohio. "Women tend to be more likely to be found at the local level and their numbers decline as we climb up the political hierarchy to the state-wide and federal level."
Monroe and Portage counties had the best representation of women in office, with 40% of elected officials women. The county with the worst female representation in elected office was Mercer County, with 12%.
Cuyahoga County had 37%, Franklin 36% and Hamilton 38%.

Hi all...the subject is pretty self explanatory. Looking for preferably an IMG in person, prepping for step 1 in the Baltimore area. I live near the Hopkins hospital. I'm looking to take it in about 3-4mths.
Not very particular about beginner, advanced, expert or whatever. I won't say the cliche "serious studiers" only thing, who doesn't want to study seriously?
So mainly for motivation & accountability, and sometimes discussing topics.


This tax season, Community College of Denver (CCD) is partnering with Denver-based Piton Foundation to help hard-working families become more financially secure by providing free tax preparation services through the Tax Help Colorado program. Beginning January 26th IRS-certified students will prepare and file tax returns free of charge for individuals with household incomes of less than about $55,000 a year.
This free service will be offered at CCD from January 26 through March 9 on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at CCD's Cherry Creek Building (1111 West Colfax Ave.), Room 202.
In 2018, CCD volunteers prepared taxes for nearly 488 taxpayers who received more than $1 million in refunds; and saved taxpayers $100,000 in tax preparation fees.


This year LakeView Student Ministries is taking a trip down to Camp Barnabas in Purdy, MO from June 30th - July 8th to help make camp safe and fun for people with special needs and chronic illnesses as they embrace life as Jesus made them and to reach their fullest potential.
Cabin Counselors (CIAs): for students ages 16 and older. You are the hands and feet of Jesus to the campers. Each counselor is assigned one-on-one with a camper to unconditionally love and accept them during the week. They spend 23 hours each day with their camper and they experience all the camp activities together.
Each student is required to pay a $50 non refundable registration fee by April 2nd, 2017. Total cost of the trip is $400 and students will have fundraising opportunities to raise that money.
If you haven't yet filled out the SM participation form, you can fill it out online.

Raging Sundays: TCS Anzio
por presidentalpha | Mar 10, 2006 | Partidas (AAR), Wargames de fichas | 0 Comentarios
We have started a campaign of A Raging Storm. This is a battle of the Anzio Beachhead within Tactical Combat Series games.
Last sunday made the setup. We hope to play 2 sundays a month.
Click in Leer más to see more and stay tuned for more after action reports.
Historic background
After the maximum advance inland of the Allied forces in the Anzio beachhead, the Germans launched an offensive on 4th February 1944, in the Campoleone salient. This is a simulation of the first night and day of the offensive.

In the last months I've been playing TCS scenarios with TCS 4.0x rules. The 4.x rules are in test mode. I played before with TCS 3.1, actual official rules, and I like more the new ones.
Vehicle movement and interaction is a lot better in 4.x. Other improvements are the area fire and overwatch (spotting) modifiers.
So we agreed to play with TCS 4.07 rules version and one house rule: Morale of support weapons/sections, like MG, mortars or AT/IG guns, stacked with infantry platoons doesn't count. Only the platoon morale affect the stack.
In the middle of the map:
Identified with red numbers 1, 2 and 3 this is Kampfgruppe Pfeiffer. With number 1, the 147th Gr. Rgt., 65 Inf. division. Number 2, the 3d company 165 engineer Bn., 65 Inf. division. Number 3, 11 parachute regiment, 4th parachute division.
Number 4 are part of kamfgruppe Graser. I Bn., 145 Gr. regiment, 65 inf. division and Panzer abteilung 115, 15 PG division (only 10xstug III and 2xPz IV)
In blue: Number 5, 1 Bn Scots Guards and number 6, 1 Bn. irish Guards, from 24 Guards Brigade, 1st British inf. division.
Number 7, 2 Bn Sherwood Foresters from 3d inf. Brigade, 1st Br. inf. division
North Area:
No. 1, 1 Bn King's Shropshire Light Infantry and no. 2, 1 Bn. Duke of Wellington's from 3rd infantry brigade.
Germans numbers 3 and 4, 2nd and 3rd Bn. 145 Gr. regiment, 65 infantry division.
Numbers 5, 6 and 7, 104 PG regiment, 15 PG division, 2 Bn, 26 Pz regiment (20 Pz IV) and 2nd Bn. 71 PG regiment. The panzer and II Bn. 71 PG in number 7 area.
Northern tip's detail of the salient. Duke's of Wellington and III Bn. 145 grenadier regiment head to head.
South Area:
Number 1, II Bn, 725 grenadier regiment.
Number 2, 1st recon regiment, no. 3, 5 Bn Grenadier Guards from 24 Guards brigade and no 4, 6 Bn. Gordon Highlanders from 2nd brigade.
Also as divisional support troops spread with the other bns., 2/7 Middlesex MG Bn (14xHMG's sections and 5×4.2 inch mortars) and 81 AT tank regiment (12×17 pdrs AT's and 28×6 pdrs AT's).
Soon…the 2300 h. 3d February turn and more…

Würth Group's e-business grows during pandemic
By Michelle Froese | August 10, 2020
Würth Group, a global provider of fastening and assembly technology, can look back on a reasonable first half of the year — despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's overall sales only dropped slightly, by 3.1%. However, its e-business share has increased by 20%.

"Considering the current backdrop of a global pandemic, we are more than satisfied with this relatively stable development," said a relieved Robert Friedmann, chairman of the Central Managing Board of the Würth Group.
This is particularly true, given the companies presence in several countries that have been heavily affected by the pandemic, such as Italy, France, Spain, and the U.S.
Despite the overall economic standstill in many countries (e.g. in France, which imposed a full lockdown in April and many restrictions in May), companies were still able to celebrate successes through their e-business channels.
The strategic structural shift toward digital channels, such as online shops — including the Würth App — has resulted in ongoing business. (For example, France posted an e-business growth of 27.8% in the first half of the year). Contactless procurement solutions proved to be an ideal solution.
The Group's performance and efficiency is still driven by three factors:
1. A multi-channel strategy
2. Diversification of risk through its international footprint
3. Diverse business models.
Additionally, in the first half of 2020, Würth's global sales in its construction division grew by 9.2% over the same period last year, driven by the continuing strong demand in the construction sector. The company's electrical wholesale business unit also reported growth. It grew by 13.7%.

Michael Weatherburn is a PhD student at Imperial College London and a Byrne Bussey Marconi fellow at Oxford University, as well as an active New Researcher. On 12 June 2014, he will be delivering a VAHS seminar at the Institute of Historical Research in London which will examine Seebohm Rowntree and the work experiments at the interwar Cocoa Works at York (see here for more information about the event). In this blog post, Michael provides a preview of his upcoming seminar.

Seebohm Rowntree and his Cocoa Works at York remain iconic in the history of twentieth- century British manufacturing. In my talk about the plant, I shall firstly embed the Haxby Road Cocoa Works in Rowntree's economic, moral, political and intellectual universe. While much is known about Rowntree's poverty studies of York, and some aspects of his York factory, what is not known is that his lifelong chemist's passion for dynamic statistical data applied to his factory floor too1. For example, he extensively used payment-by-results (PbR) systems at the 8000-strong plant: the idea being that PbR encouraged harder individual work and simultaneously allowed managers to detect very precisely which workers were working best. In turn, this data also allowed Rowntree's staff to fix output and wage levels to transcend the minimum figures which had been determined by factory budgets and social studies.
This seminar will particularly explore Rowntree's involvement with the public sector, in this case the Industrial Health Research Board, and their joint experiments in what methods could be used to inspire factory workers to work harder. We'll examine how the joint experiments functioned and what they showed. We will highlight the contemporary comparisons made with the still-famous Hawthorne studies in the USA. In doing so, we'll scrutinise the frequently overlooked, but entirely human-made and moveable, frontier between paid work and voluntary work.

The Cocoa Works was actually so research-intense that one contemporary referred to it as a kind of 'practical university'. In fact, the Cocoa Works was the first British plant to employ an industrial psychologist to study the emotional patterns and social behaviours of workers. But there was more taking place than this. At my VAHS seminar, and also at my Byrne Bussey Marconi lecture in Oxford on 1o June, I will discuss the involvement of Rowntree and his staff with the intense study of employees' work motions at the conveyor belt, work bench, loading bay and office desk.
From a present day perspective, what difference does my study make? Firstly, PbR is very much on the political agenda: the government presently publishes rolling reports on PbR's apparent effectiveness in the NHS. Yet we have few historical accounts of the origins of PbR and how it has developed to date. Secondly, the study examines a key British liberal business intellectual, highly influential to the postwar Labour government, who has never been examined as such. Thirdly, it helps to paint a picture of a more energetic and modernising British factory floor than our standard historical accounts evoke, or at least assume. Finally, my study of Rowntree forms one of several hitherto unexplored and thought-provoking historical case studies in my research which aims to be of interest to those examining work practices and workplace conditions in the public, private and charity sectors.

Robotic Urologic Surgery: All You Need to Know
Choose the health content that's right for you, and get it delivered right in your inbox.
When it comes to beating urologic cancers like prostate cancer, early diagnosis and accurate treatment are key. At the AdventHealth Global Robotics Institute, we have one of the most experienced, world-class medical teams for robotic surgery in the country.
We utilize the latest medical technology to perform minimally invasive urologic robotic surgery that's safer and leads to quicker recovery times for patients. We're here to help you learn more about robotic urologic surgery and understand how we can provide effective treatment and whole-person healing.
What is Robotic Urologic Surgery?
Robotic urologic surgery is the minimally invasive surgical treatment of the prostate gland, bladder or kidney using the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System™.
What is the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System™?
The da Vinci™ robot has three major components: the surgeon console, the vision tower and the patient side cart. A camera allows the surgeon to view the area in which they are operating. The nimble robotic arms and instruments are what the surgeon uses to perform the procedure. The robot serves as an extension of the surgeon's hands and eliminates the need for large incisions that are necessary in traditional open surgery.
How is Urologic Robotic Surgery Performed?
The surgeon makes several small incisions about the size of a dime in your abdomen. A tiny robotic laparoscope and small robotic arms are inserted. The surgeon manipulates the camera and robotic arms to remove the prostate gland, bladder or kidney.
At AdventHealth, we put your health, safety and peace of mind first. Robotic technology guides your surgeon's movements and helps to optimize precision and accuracy.
Benefits of Robotic Surgery
Compared to traditional open surgery:
Incisions are smaller with robotic surgery, providing a quicker return to normal daily activities
Increased magnification of the surgery site to 10-times the size, combined with easily maneuverable robotic arms and instruments, which provides superior control and improved functional outcomes
Less risk of blood loss, practically eliminating the need for blood transfusions
Less time under anesthesia since the robotic prostatectomy only takes 60 to 90 minutes
Minimal pain
Shorter hospital stay; most patients leave within 24 hours
Quicker return to work
The Best Team for Your Urologic Surgery Needs
The mission of the Global Robotics Institute is to ensure that our hand-selected team is comprised of the world's best and brightest medical staff. We have built a team of over 50 professionals led by Medical Director Vipul Patel, MD, FACS. Dr. Patel is an internationally recognized expert who trains physicians worldwide in performing robotic-assisted prostatectomies. He has personally performed the most robotic-assisted prostatectomies in the world, with over 16,000 procedures.
Dr. Patel and his team are committed to providing personalized patient care and achieving quality outcomes with a multi-modality and multidisciplinary approach. They collaborate with experts in radiation oncology, medical oncology and internal medicine to provide the optimal comprehensive approach to urologic cancer to our patients.

Dwejra is a special area of conservation forming part of the EU Natura 2000 sites according to the Habitats Directive, as locally transposed by legal notice 311 of 2006. Nature Trust (Malta), in 2003, in partnership with the Malta Environment and Planning Authority and WWF Italy, acquired an EU LIFE grant for Dwejra, amounting to €324,000. An action plan was drawn up by a steering committee and approved by the Mepa board and endorsed by the government on November 29, 2005.
Once completed in 2007, the project had to have an integrated conservation and management plan for the area, complete conservation and full protection of the site, increased environmental awareness, a stronger enforcement function in the areas, a long-term sustainability plan for the site and had to serve as a guide of good practice for the setting-up of other coastal nature reserves in the Mediterranean basin. And I am not joking.
During the implementation of the project, work was stopped for a number of months because of the building of a restaurant on the site. An EU delegation visited the island, and Nature Trust subsequently resigned from the steering committee commenting that, since 2007, the site has been left to deteriorate and "the place is now unmanaged and abandoned". The only progress registered was the building of the restaurant.
This November 1, six NGOs drew Mepa's attention to the scandalous disaster at Dwejra Natura 2000 site, following a Mepa permit issued to Fire and Blood Productions. A substantial area of the rocky coast was covered with crushed construction waste of hardstone aggregate, rich in lime which kills micro-organisms, with disastrous effects. The company filming Gate Of Throne apologised and blamed the subcontractor. The planning director was quoted as saying the least sensitive zone (sic!), about 750 square metres, had been specially earmarked for filming, blaming the production company for not informing Mepa when it started laying the sand and using plastic mesh. Mepa said in a briefing it would be making a case to withdraw part of or the entire €15,000 bank guarantee and it was not ruling out other measures of redress. Mepa also said it wanted to send out a clear message the company could still beheld liable for other damages through criminal and civil proceeding and the bank guarantee did not exonerate it from other penalties.
It is quite customary now for Mepa to lock the stable doors after the horse has bolted.
In one of the news bulletins it was remarked how nice the cleaned rocks looked and how the filming works generated €5million. I believe the filming company would gladly have paid €150,000 to construct such a film set. Forfeiting €15,000 is quite a discount bargain. Sedentary species present in the area covered by the plastic mesh had heavy weight dumped on them, trampled upon when the sand was laid and again when it was removed. Furthermore, the left over quarry limestone sand which passed through the mesh will continue to impact the habitat until this disappears. The brushing up process carried out to "clean" the Natura 2000 site also has a negative impact and may damage biota, sweep it up with the sand or will sweep up naturally occurring sediment as well, thus changing the habitat characteristics. Species included in the Species Data Form forwarded by Mepa to the EU when Dwejra was proposed as a special area of conservation includes plants, lichens and small crevice-dwelling invertebrates. The area harbours two endemic woodlice, an endemic pseudoscorpion and also endemic snails, not excluding other species, such as insects. A permit allowing the covering of such a footprint with crushed construction waste of hardstone aggregate, even if carried out to the letter of the conditions, would also have resulted in negative impact. The director of environment, the person responsible for the implementation of the Habitats Directive, knowing full well there should have been a prior environment impact assessment for any commercial activity not related to the management of the Natura 2000 site, was quoted as saying residual damage was still being quantified but it was not looking bad (sic). Perhaps the scientific studies that led to such a statement can be officially published in connection with such a permit which could not, and should not, have been issued.
If I did not personally follow the evolvements of such shameful episodes in an EU member state's Natura 2000 site, I would have thought all this is fiction. But, then, fiction meant to please should have as much resemblance as possible to truth. In its role as the protector of the environment, both in the national and in a European Community context, Mepa has lost the game of thrones. It is such an impotent weakling in the field of environmental protection when faced by glamorous commercial projects.
With apologies to J. B. Priestley's classic play An Inspector Calls, "…I tell you that the time will soon come when, if men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood…" The EU DG Environment should investigate how Natura 2000 sites in Malta are being brought to disrepute.

Jackie Presser (* 6. August 1926 in Cleveland, Ohio; † 9. Juli 1988 in Lakewood, Ohio) war von 1983 bis 1988 Präsident der US-amerikanischen Transportarbeitergewerkschaft International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Biografie
Jackie Presser war der Sohn des berüchtigten "Teamsters" Bill Presser, der dreimal wegen Verbrechen in Zusammenhang mit seiner Gewerkschaftstätigkeit ("labor racketeering") verurteilt worden war und zwei Jahre vor Ernennung seines Sohnes zum Präsidenten der Teamsters starb.

Bereits Bill Presser unterhielt enge Beziehungen mit dem damaligen Gewerkschaftsboss Frank Fitzsimmons und Charles Colson, einem Mitarbeiter von US-Präsident Richard Nixon, der ebenfalls wie dieser wegen der Watergate-Affäre sein Amt aufgeben musste.

Bill sah seinen Sohn Jackie sicherlich gerne in seine Fußstapfen bei der Gewerkschaft treten, aber natürlich bedurfte es nun mehr, als der Sohn eines berüchtigten Schläger der Teamsters zu sein, um sogar dessen Präsident werden zu können. Jackie fungierte auch als FBI-Informant über Aktivitäten der Cosa Nostra in Cleveland. Im Gegenzug beschützte ihn das FBI vor einigen Anschlägen mit einer im Auto platzierten Bombe – eine Methode, die in Mafiakreisen in Cleveland sehr beliebt war – indem sie zum Beispiel sein Auto mit einem speziellen Detektor ausstattete.

Im Oktober 1975 wurde dann vermutlich seine Präsidentschaft als Gewerkschaftsführer angebahnt, als er im "LaCosta Country Club" mit Richard Nixon, Frank Fitzsimmons, Anthony Provenzano und Allen M. Dorfman Golf spielte. 1983 wurde Roy Williams wegen Bestechung verurteilt; Presser wurde sein Nachfolger und wurde 1986 für fünf weitere Jahre wiedergewählt.

Bereits 1984 hatte das FBI ein Gespräch zwischen ihm, Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno, John Trolone ("Peanuts") und den "Teamsters"-Offiziellen William J. McCarthy und Roy Williams aufgezeichnet. McCarthy meinte in diesem Gespräch, die Entscheidung eines Mafiabosses zu benötigen, bevor er in den "Teamsters" weiter vorankommen könnte. Und obwohl die New York Times von diesem Gespräch 1988 berichtete, wurde McCarthy 1989 neuer Präsident der Gewerkschaft.

Als Boss der Teamsters unterhielt Jackie Presser weiter enge Beziehungen zum Weißen Haus unter Ronald Reagan, der über ihn (wieder mit Hilfe des FBI) weiterhin die schützende Hand hielt.

Die Zeiten der hohen anrüchigen Summen unter Jimmy Hoffa oder Frank Fitzsimmons, bei denen die Mafia sich praktisch direkt aus der Pensionskasse im Central States Pension Fund bedienen konnte, waren zwar mittlerweile vorbei, aber auch unter Präsident Presser lief nicht alles innerhalb der gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen.

So wurde 1985 ein "Geisterarbeiter" in Pressers Heimatbüro "Local 507" in Cleveland von der Justiz entlarvt, wo Presser zuvor Schatzmeister gewesen war. Dave Allen musste für elf Monate wegen Untreue bzw. Unterschlagung ins Gefängnis, da er mit 165.000 US-Dollar aus Gewerkschaftsgeldern – ohne die geringste Gegenleistung dafür geliefert zu haben – entlohnt worden war und sich nach seiner Verurteilung als Bauernopfer des Teamsters-Präsidenten empfand.

Jackie Presser starb 1988 im Alter von 61 Jahren an Krebs.

How fitting it is to get married on New Year's Eve; on your Anniversary, the whole world celebrates with you! My Mom has said those words every year – and 65 years ago today, my parents walked down the aisle and professed their wedding vows.
Fulfilling a commitment to love and honor one other for better or worse – for a lifetime – is no small achievement, especially in today's world.
Dad, 86, and Mom, 85, have beaten the odds.
Thankfully, they have been blessed with long lives.
But it is their hearts, joined forever, that have sustained their marriage.
Indeed, they had struggles and obstacles on the journey; their quiet strength emerged as they worked through them, often without complaint.
Core values were paramount in their eyes, and their lives reflected their honesty, generosity, and integrity.
Family always came first. And my sisters and I benefitted from the many sacrifices they made.
Mom and Dad had little, but enjoyed life to the fullest. I love the memories of hearing the evening laughter downstairs when they hosted their card club, and of Dad blasting his Stan Kenton recordings on the new Hi-Fi.
Hearing the stories of how they loved to go dancing, and their weekend warrior trips to New York City to see Broadway shows make me appreciate their adventurous spirit.
And how could I ever forget those drives to Florida (sans carseats!) and our long days at the beach. Memories of swimming and picnics at Geneva-on-the-Lake, rides on the old navy raft included, bring smiles.
Mom and Dad, you have enjoyed the gift of 65 years together – and we joyfully and wholeheartedly celebrate with you!
Mom, you always said you had a "marriage made in heaven" – and that is the truth!
for your example, and for your unconditional and long lasting love for each other, and for us.
..and you continue to bless all who know and love you.
We love you, now and forever, with all our hearts.

Yes, I am blessed, indeed – and thank God for the gift of my parents!
Toni, this is a wonderfully written tribute to two inspiring people. You are very blessed to have such loving parents. I always enjoyed visiting, your family stories, and some of the most delicious meals I've enter had. God bless you all!

Thank you, Maureen! Wishing you and your family many blessings in 2015!
I love this Toni. Especially the blasting Stan Kenton which I use to do. I heard him and danced to him at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa where Buddy Holly played years ago and had the unfortunate trip which ended in his death.

Thank you, Debby! And I love that you love Stan Kenton,too!!!
Beautiful tribute to your Mom and Dad. You are blessed family to have each other. You all live your faith by example one to another. Bless you in 2015.

Thank you, Janet! May you and Bruce be blessed in 2015 too!
Toni, sounds like we came from similar stock. My folks celebrated 68 before God took my daddy home at 93. What an example for us kids, grand kids and great grand kids. At his funeral even great grand kids asked their secret? The answer was always, "turn it all, everything, even your life over to the Lord! Don't do anything without Him!" Food and lot's of laughter was always at every gathering too. What legacy we have to carry on. Thanks for sharing and God bless you and Joe big time in 2015!
