Armageddon II: War For Obama?
A short time ago an almost forgotten audio clip surfaced on the web and caught my attention. It is a recording of a radio transmission from space shuttle Discovery, captured in 1989. That's right - it's 17 years old! Recorded by an amateur radio operator, it seems to describe an encounter with an alien spacecraft. The response from the ground was to tell the astronaut to "switch", i.e. change frequencies, and nothing more was heard.
When the tape was made public NASA claimed ignorance, simply saying that no such incident had occurred. However, people were listening to it with their own ears, and it sounded very real to them. NASA then claimed the transmission was real, but it was a joke on the part of the astronaut. This didn't fly well, either. When you hear the tape you'll understand why no one felt there was any sense of humour in the astronaut's voice.
The tape appears in the audio clip below, a recording from a UK news broadcast. It didn't sound to me like the "presenter" described it correctly, so I made a copy and went to work. No American would use the phrase, "under observance" as the UK presenter suggested. Did it really contain a report of an alien encounter? What did he really say?
The audio quality is not the best. I'd love to have something closer to the original. Perhaps someone can locate a first or second generation copy for us. For now, we work with what we've got. In the sound clip below you can listen to the original (as I got it off the web) and then several attempts to make the words more distinct by applying equalization, another word for tonal filtering. Special attention was then paid to the phrases, "alien spacecraft" and "on VFR", to make absolutely sure of what was really said. VFR is an aviation term (Visual Flight Rules) which was used to indicate the alien craft was visible to the eye.
Forward speech only - clarification via tonal filtering.
WE STILL HAVE THE ALIEN SPACECRAFT, UH..
Because of the unusal tonal range in this material, there is significant loss of quality in the conversion from WAV to MP3.
The original recording was made in 1989 by Donald Ratsch, an American amateur radio operator and member of a radio club that monitored and recorded NASA transmissions as a hobby. Many people heard the recording, either on radio or from copies that made their way around the many groups and clubs interested in space and UFO phenomena. At the same time, another Ham reported that just prior to the time Ratsch tuned in, the shuttle commander reported, "We have a fire."
Apparently no recording of the fire announcement was made, which is a shame. There is a suggestion that more than one person heard it, but I have no information about that. Nonetheless, it is a popular theory that NASA had set this as a code phrase for alerting ground personnel of an alien presence without actually saying so. In its favor, the phrase would instantly grab attention. But it would also take a lot of explaining later if the public heard it, so it doesn't seem a very good choice. The point is that this is the specific mission that these stories relate to.
After determining that I did in fact have a useable and understandable piece of audio from the Discovery transmission, it was only natural that I would make an attempt to verify it's authenticity via reversed speech.
Using speech reversals to reveal unconscious thought forms and mental processes has often been called the "truth detector", because it usually provides additional information about events, rather than a simple yes-or-no signal about the truth or falsity of what is being said. Would I find thoughts that indicated the statements were a lie or a joke? Perhaps the thoughts typically shown by a person who is simply reading a script and thinking about where emphasis should be placed, or details of the room they are in? That's quite common in many recordings.
On the other hand, proof of the transmission's validity would come from additional details about the incident itself. These are things that are considered mentally but are not spoken consciously. Thoughts that you would expect from a pilot actually engaged in piloting would rule out most possibilities of a hoax. Unconscious thoughts about the actual situation, the presence of an alien spacecraft, would confirm that this indeed was what was taking place. In the end, that is exactly what was found.
One caution to the listener: audio from live events does not usually win any points for clarity. The most fascinating and exciting reversed speech comes from real situations, usually with people under stress of some kind. Background noise in these cases makes speech reversals difficult to hear without serious concentration. Why? While the ear can ignore a surprising amount of normal noise, when background noise is played backward it sounds terribly strange and it takes a strong conscious effort to focus only on the voice buried within it.
In addition to using good speakers or earphones in a quiet room, you will need good listening skills for the following sound clips. Be prepared to click the "play" button several times. Use the provided written text to focus your attention on individual words as they pass by. Can you confirm each consonant? Do you hear the right number of syllables? I and several others have gone through this over a hundred times with this material, often slowing the words greatly as well, to confirm that they are as described. Nonetheless, even with my experience, if I listen to them the following day without any reminder of the actual text, then several of them will not be recognizable the first time around. That's just par for the course when the original audio is poor, and only means you must apply yourself to get it all.
With that in mind, enjoy the sound clips below which provide rock solid proof that the incident actually took place and is completely genuine.
This is a classic, "textbook" case of RS truth-detection, in which the unconscious speech clearly describes the same thing that the normal speech is reporting, but with added detail. You see the importance of the moment, THIS IS IT, and the essential nature of the event, THEY LOOK AT YOU while HANGIN' OFF. You can easily picture the situation. An alien craft hanging silently in space, simply watching everything you are doing.
Also we find the very natural desire to get a better look at the craft and, just like UFO encounters on the ground, to keep the visitor in sight for as long as possible. TURN TO YOUR LEFT, I'M LOOKIN, HEY I SEE IT all speak to us of this magic and exciting moment. And, of course, it is history in the making. Or at least it should be!
The reversal NOW FAMOUS clearly acknowledges the importance of the moment, and you can also see that this is not exactly what this person feels is desirable in his career. Life is going to become complicated! Technically, the word AFRAID is a reversal buried within a reversal. It is inside, or underneath the word FAMOUS, comes at a faster speed and is not easy to hear. The word NOW is included to illustrate the positioning. This is almost certainly an example of one word triggering another by association. As a practical matter, if the astronaut was afraid of the UFO, there would be more references to fear in the set of reversals. In this case the fear, of which the speaker is probably not yet consciously aware, is related to the fame, or notoriety, of being the person who is reporting the contact.
There is another set of reversals provided below, and they also provide the same confirmation. The fact that this is a real event is an absolute certainty. It is a genuine alien encounter described by a person who is telling the truth about something that is happening at that very moment.
This was shuttle mission STS-29 (March 13-18, 1989). The primary objective was to orbit a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, perform science experiments, and take over 3000 photographs of the earth's surface from space. Photographic equipment included a 70mm IMAX motion picture camera. The crew included Commander Michael L. Coats and Pilot John E. Blaha, and three mission specialists.
Discovery launched from Kennedy Space Center at 9:57 a.m. on March 13, 1989. After achieving the required orbit the crew turned their attention to the primary mission right away, and the satellite and its booster were deployed without problem. This was fired off at 3:12 p.m., after only five hours in space. The actual time of the March 13th UFO report is not currently known, but it must have been after this, because it seems unlikely that the crew would be so efficient in the midst of a close encounter.
Although it has been said that virtually all manned space missions are observed, it seems equally possible that the launching of the satellite booster actually attracted the attention. The official record lists only one significant incident, but it also occurred on this day.
"one of three cryogenic hydrogen tanks which supply the fuel cells that produce electricity exhibited erratic pressure fluctuations. It was deactivated while engineers studied the problem, and the crew was told to conserve electrical power. The tank was reactivated on Flight Day 3, March 15, and operated successfully."
It is an intriguing thought that this may have been used to cover up a shortage of radio transmissions on public channels while an encounter of unknown duration was taking place.
The person who is speaking is either Coats or Blaha but 17 years later there is no way to tell from the information at hand. The reversals show the man is controlling the shuttle's orientation at the time of the transmission. However, both men are qualified to pilot the shuttle. Coats was the pilot on Discovery's maiden flight in 1984. Perhaps someone can answer this question from material compiled at the time.
Both men continued with fine careers so the incident, perhaps coupled with their willingness to keep their mouths shut, was apparently beneficial. Michael Coats commanded another mission in 1991, then left the program to become a vice president at Loral Space Information Systems. In 1996 he moved to Lockheed Martin, also at the VP level, where he remained for nine years. Ten months ago (November 2005) he returned to NASA as the Director of the Johnson Space Center just south of Houston.
John Blaha, the pilot, was also the pilot on Discovery's next mission (STS-33) which put secret military hardware in orbit eight months later. In 1991 he was Commander for Atlantis mission STS-43, and then commanded Columbia's STS-58 mission in 1993. In September 1996 he rode Atlantis to the Mir space station where he served as crew for four months, returning on Columbia, capping off a truly remarkable career.
Other crew members, who of course would be completely familiar with the encounter and surely had their noses pressed against the windows, would be the mission specialists, James F. Buchli, Robert C. Springer and John P. Bagian.
Second generation RS recognizes that multiple unconscious thought streams can be running at the same time, dealing with different subjects. The RS operator separates the thought streams by recognizing the different subjects. Third generation RS, which is in its infancy, attempts to isolate thought streams by working with different tone bands.
This second thought-stream is taken from the same audio as before, but the tonal range has been restricted and higher tones are slightly boosted. The thought-forms seem more related to piloting than to the natural human reactions found in the slightly lower band. "I'll pop it", is assumed to refer to a small burst with the attitude control jets.
In this additional analysis we find more confirmation that the man who is speaking is controlling the shuttle at that moment.
THIS IS IT - TURN TO YOUR LEFT is present across all frequency bands.
Piloting details, TOO MUCH - CORRECT IT - I'LL POP IT were not apparent until the additional frequency work brought them out.
Of course, AWESOME.. A VISUAL describe the moment very well.
Again, there is total certainty that this intercepted transmission is genuine, and that the event described was actually taking place at the time.
"A former mission specialist with NASA, Bob Oeschler conducted an intense investigation into these events and concluded that the message had in fact been broadcast from the vicinity of Fort Meade in Maryland, an area where the US National Security Agency had it's base. The NSA has long been interested in UFOs and Oeschler was of the opinion that the transmission was a deliberately set-up hoax for some intelligence purpose."
How Oeschler determined this is now a mystery. Remember that NASA had already admitted the transmission was real. Oeschler later became a "UFO investigator", a field that historically is so littered with agency operatives that it is impossible (without RS) to tell who's real and who isn't. I did find a reference to his work in this field that described his connection with classified programs prior to working for NASA, and added, "He gets his information from his alleged contacts in the US Intelligence Community..". This, of course is a registered trademark of disinformation agents even today, when they primarily operate on the web.
It is a major goal of this website to demonstrate that the world as presented by government sources and mass media is primarily a fantasy. As we continue our work it should become increasingly apparent to everyone that the U.S. government and the great propaganda machine that masquerades as mass media never actually tell the truth about anything that is even remotely important.
Oddly enough, most Americans understand this although the knowledge is buried pretty deep. For some reason they continue to read their newspapers, watch the nightly news, and tune in CNN when something is happening, as if they still expect to receive something of value. Not too long ago there was a standard and well used American expression: You don't believe everything you read in the newspaper do you? The mesmerizing effects of television seem to have overcome this - significantly altering the American character.
However, spotting lies is not a strictly negative mission.
The advantage of being able to learn the truth in a world drowning in lies is that each kernel of truth, if you hold on to it firmly, provides the basis for additional conclusions about a real world that is being so firmly hidden from our view. In other words, not only can you more easily spot the lies - and the liars - but you can also make useful determinations of what the truth must necessarily be.
Obviously, "alien spacecraft" do exist. Right now at this moment. Right here, around planet Earth.
If NASA has had at least one unquestionable alien encounter and lied about it, then it is reasonable to assume that there have been others as well.
If NASA is willing to lie about matters of importance, then it is also reasonable to assume that very little else of what they say about significant issues is likely to be true either. This would include our entire history in space and the voyages to the Moon, the direction and purpose of our space program, basic information about the Moon and Mars, and so on. There is simply no reason to believe any of it. You can wrap the garbage in it and look elsewhere for reality.
Many people have already reached this conclusion simply by skeptical observation over the years, and the huge mass of information out there about similar encounters. Yet I feel that solid confirmation that you can hear with your own ears can still give a person that extra measure of confidence and certainty that is so helpful when pursuing additional truths.
On a smaller scale, knowing the truth allows you to draw specific conclusions about NASA and this particular shuttle mission that might not be apparent right away. After the launching of a satellite, the secondary mission of STS-29 was photography. In fact, the official record says they took over 3000 pictures. Do you suppose they had plenty of cameras and film on board? Do you think anyone took pictures of the alien spacecraft? Just a few or a whole bunch?
Researchers have occasionally been invited to review the "meticulous" records created at the Johnson Space Center that catalog each and every piece of film sent up and returned on manned space missions. Some have commented that these records are so good that they've had to give up their interest in unusual and unpublished photographs because they obviously don't exist.
Logically, we can now conclude that NASA records of photographs taken, and their suggestion of a foolproof bookkeeping system, are a total fiction. And of course those photos from STS-29 are still around somewhere. What a pity that the people who paid for them are not allowed to see them. But consider this as well: Discovery carried a 70 millimeter IMAX motion picture camera.
Somewhere in the NASA vaults is an IMAX movie that the whole world is waiting to see.

Try it. You'll be amazed!

Print marketing can often get pushed to the side as we focus more on building our online presence. While online promoting should be a primary focus of any brand, in today's market reach, we can't let the quality of our hand to hand marketing materials plummet.
Do you still pull from the same pile of business cards you purchased in bulk years ago (that may or may not have handwritten cell number on them because it wasn't added back then)? Are you trying to use up the last of those brochures even though they may have dated contact information or missing pertinent data? Do you piece together a quick flyer when having a promotion and, to top it off, make black and white copies to pass out to hopeful participants? Stop doing those things!
Just as your website or online marketing is the face and representation of your business via the web, print collateral is often the first "in-person" impression a potential client receives. Keep all your branding avenues consistent from online to print. Take pride in how you represent your business via appropriate marketing. And remember, presentation is everything. A well designed, cohesive marketing package is over 60% more impressionable than dated, pieced together parts. If you want your target audience to see that you put just as much quality effort into your business and services as you do your marketing materials, you need to ensure you have the staples.
From attending tradeshows to local promotion, print collateral plays a crucial role in proper marketing. There are 3 key print materials to help promote your business, from non-profits to retail to restaurants and professional services, any business should start here.
It's a given (literally). "Here's my business card" will forever be the essential line in any networking opportunity. Your business card is the simplest gesture to share relevant information with a hopeful contact. Your business card should both visually reflect your brand, while professionally presenting crucial information for contact and follow through.
No matter how much communication and transactions happen online there is always a need for snail mail correspondence at some point. When that time comes, be prepared with stationary that looks professional and polished. Give your receiver a sense of familiarity when they see your personalized mailing piece come in. Tailored stationary adds a grounding touch to your branding.
When we say the term "brochure" we aren't just talking about the timeless "booklet" style that we tend to generalize the word to mean. Brochures, today, can be anything from a one-pager to a rack card to a multiple page booklet style. The sizing and style requirements are dependent upon the message and amount of information you wish to present to potential customers. These print materials are the items you leave with those you hope to gain as a client or customer. These materials are often the hand-outs your target audience receives to peak their interest in what you have to offer. Again, keeping consistency with your branding and messaging will guide the process along to determine what materials will be of most use. The important factor is you are utilizing the updated means our market has grown accustomed to and your materials professionally executed.
These are the minimal print marketing pieces to have on hand for any promoting need. Whatever the venture, well planned and designed print marketing builds a stronger marketing performance.

One of the most common searches that brings people here is "Robot Storytime." So, by popular demand, I'm posting my robot storytime outline for your edification.
Edit: I *just* read Ame Dyckman's Boy + Bot and it's absolutely perfect for robot storytime! It would be fun to do a movement activity that had the kids doing some robot movement until the adults turned their 'off' buttons. Robot Freeze!
We sing our opening song and jump right in with Rolie Polie Olie. I like to lead with this one because it sets the stage nicely to talk about robots. I ask them what a robot is, and we talk about machines. Some kids get REALLY excited about robots, so this is always a fun discussion. Then I tell them we're turning into robots today in storytime and we practice saying, "Hello" and "Goodbye" like robots.
This leads us nicely into our second book, Hello Robots.
After we read it, we use my Hello Robots flannel and the kids re-tell the story as I place the pieces. It's a great way to build narrative skills, and at the end we also have a discussion about the shapes and colors involved, "Which robot has a triangle body? What color is he?"
Now it's time to get some movement going. Depending on how wiggly the group is, I would probably add one or two of our standard every-week wiggle busters like I Can Jump Jump Jump or A is for Alligator before moving on to a themed action activity that I wrote.
At this point I'd read another story. I would choose which one on the fly depending on how the group was doing. If they were antsy or skewed younger, I would read The Birthday Box by Patricelli and that would be the final book of the session. If they were older or still doing really well, I would read Ribbit Rabbit (a little shorter) or Three Little Aliens (need really good listeners for this one).
As far as other extension activities--basically any song or fingerplay works since all you have to do is add 'robot voice' and it's on-theme (if that's important to you).
And finally, for craft time we made robot costumes. I used brown paper bags which I prepared ahead of time. Cut straight down the middle of the back of the bag, then cut out the bottom of the bag so that the whole thing lies flat. Then cut armholes in the sides, and a half-moon out of the front for the neck. The idea is that the kids can stick their arms through and wear it--like putting a vest on backwards.
Then I put out glue, tin foil, chenille stems, markers and anything else that they might want to use to decorate their costumes.
Thank you for sharing! This helped me immensely in planning for my own robot themed storytime!

Summary: When "Opportunity Busing" comes to Charlie's neighborhood school in 1970's southern California, many of his friends' parents opt for other schools. But Charlie's parents, who have experienced some prejudice against their Jewish faith, choose to keep Charlie at Wonderland. Some 15 miles away, Armstrong's parents decide to take advantage of the opportunity, and send their reluctant son to sixth grade at Wonderland. Told in the alternating voices of the two boys, the story shows the two-steps-forward-one-step-backwards progress of school segregation. Gradually, the two boys go from sworn enemies to a tentative truce to a close friendship. Charlie, still hurting from the death of his older brother the previous year, eventually shares his pain with Armstrong, who in turn gives Charlie a taste of what his life in the projects is like. By the end of sixth grade, they are almost like brothers, unsure if they will see each other again as separate junior high schools loom in their futures. 304 pages; grades 5-8.
Pros: Both funny and poignant, Armstrong & Charlie grabs the reader immediately with two distinct voices switching off every page or two. With lots of 1970's era details (how could I have forgotten about click-clacks?), kids will get a taste of what school segregation was and how it affected ordinary kids of both races.
Cons: While many fifth graders would enjoy this book, be aware that there is quite a bit of profanity, plus detailed discussions of French kissing and spying on naked women, before recommending it to them.


"This study has highlighted the shocking reality and the immense impact this famine has had on Somalia and its people - the worst drought to have hit East Africa in a quarter of a century affecting 13 million people. With almost half of the estimated 260,000 people who had died being children below the age of 5, it is deeply concerning that the international community - who had dealt with a similar crisis in the "the long tailed" mid-1970s drought - failed to act fast and could have saved the lives of thousands of people in Somalia during this famine.
"Somalia's politics has played a major role in exacerbating the countries droughts and there is a real concern that early interventions for such crises are being made avoidable for this reason. This report suggests that the early warning signals should have been acted on instantaneously by western donors but action was only taken once the famine had been officially declared and at that point thousands were already suffering and the crisis could sadly no longer be averted.
"Reacting to a humanitarian crisis early to avert the deaths of thousands is paramount for Somalia's future. The UK Government now has the opportunity to outline its agenda in the Somali Conference today. What the UK Government must take away from this study, is the importance of the UK's commitment to continue providing 0.7% of aid in international development - a commitment that cannot be turned back on and must be enshrined in law. The UK Government must also ensure that it is engaging with its counterparts in the Somali government so that aid is reaching those in need and that future early warning systems are acted on immediately."
Last year, Rushanara visited East Africa where she witnessed first-hand the work of NGOs on the ground assisting those struggling to cope with the impact of climate change that have destroyed their traditionally nomadic way of life.

The Senior Project, assigned to all seniors at Sandwich High School starting this year, is a required assignment consisting of fieldwork with a mentor on our own time, as well as a research paper. That's just scratching the surface. We are the first class at Sandwich High School that is required to do this project - but we were not informed about it freshman year, rather the end junior year. If you ask most of the senior class of 2018, they will either say they have not started, they have no idea what to do, or they do not want to do it. The project has added more pressure on the student body due to the workload it requires, which overwhelms the students that struggle with anxiety and stress everyday. We have jobs, schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and, not to mention, college to worry about. If we had known about this as freshmen, then it would not be a problem. Please take our request into consideration.

Pinegrove Skylight The 2 CD / Double LP feature an extra disc of the album but recorded acoustically. The second full length studio album from Pinegrove, following on from 2016's Cardinal. Skylight is "an album about happiness, figuring out how to be optimistic and realistic. To be effectively optimistic, you have to establish relationships with darkness and disappointment. The position of optimism is earned." Hall's "classic American melodies" and emotionally direct lyrics, blend seamlessly with alt-country instrumentation and experimental rhythms of drummer Zack Levine. Pinegrove CD | LP

Bliss indie-punk-pop with country and emo influences! For fans of Modern Baseball, Into It. Over It. and Ryan Adams! Painting his emotions onto these songs with colorful and kinetic strokes, Hall moves through Cardinal's eight songs with unforgettable energy and passion, with a vocal performance that is pleasantly reminiscent of Will Oldham and Built to Spill's Doug Martsch. Highlighted by the downtrodden nostalgia of twangy opener "Old Friends" and the climactic refrain of "Size of the Moon," where the confession "I don't know what I'm afraid of," is just as much of a sing-a-long as it is an emotional breakdown, moods don't stay in one place for very long on Cardinal - they are carefully crafted and revisited throughout to continually evoke the album's central themes of memory, language, and home.

In between is Marigold, an urgent, multivalent meditation—and an expanded take on the blend of alt-country, indie rock and cerebral humanism that's inspired the band's ardent fan community. Marigold marks their Rough Trade Records debut, offering what songwriter Evan Stephens Hall calls a "heart-first" perspective.

Q: Handling "Web service operation foo with parameters {xyz={}} cannot be found." in ColdFusion I have created a SOAP web service in ColdFusion, which takes a numeric parameter.
<cfcomponent>
    <cffunction name="foo" access="remote" returntype="string">
        <cfargument name="xyz" type="numeric" required="true">
            <cfset returnMessage = "" />
            <!--- some logic --->
            <cfif some condition>
                <cfset returnMessage = "some error message" />
            <cfelse>
                <cfset returnMessage = "some success message" />
            </cfif>
        <cfreturn returnMessage />
    </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

It works fine as long as we call the web service with numeric parameters.
When we pass parameters with other data types such as string or blank, ColdFusion gives following error:
Web service operation foo with parameters {xyz={dd}} cannot be found.

I wanted to know, is there a way to handle the issue and return a custom error message instead of ColdFusion error.
For eg. if the web service is called with string parameter, I should be able to return a custom message like "String parameters are not allowed!".
Update:
I am using ColdBox framework. Is there anything in ColdBox that may help.

Domestic Violence is a pattern of behaviour which involves violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic context, such as in marriage or cohabita[on. Domestic violence is a grave violation of the dignity of the individual and is unlawful.
The new legal framework on domestic violence is based on the r Domestic Violence Act and the relative amendments to the Criminal Code and Civil Code. The Istanbul Convention, which has been signed and ratified by Malta, should also be taken into consideration when determing cases of Domestic Violence.
Facts and information: domestic violence
Domestic Violence within the The Criminal Code
Certain acts which are considered to be domestic violence may also constitute a criminal act as seen in the Criminal Code. Under our Criminal Code, violence is known as bodily harm, which may be punishable by imprisonment. However, if there is a case of domestic violence, namely bodily harm within the household and between household members, then the law provides for an aggravation and a harsher punishment. In fact Article 202(h) specifies the punishment will be more harsh:
"When the crime is committed on the person of which.....Another person living in the same household as the offender or who had lived with the offender within a period of one year preceding the offence;"
It is important to note, that the law also considers this aggrava[on if a person is merely living in the same household with the offender. Therefore domestic violence, according to our Criminal Code, need not be committed necessarily on the wife or children, but it may be committed on any person who has been living in the household, be it a relative or an unrelated individual or an individual who has lived with the offender within a period of one year preceding the offence. If the victim for arguments sake has lived with the offender for 2 months, and the offence occurred after 4 months from moving out. This is still considered to be domestic violence as long as it happens within one year from when the victim lived with the offender. Moreover, with regards to sexual offences, namely rape, abduction and violent indecent assault, these are further aggravated if committed in the presence of or within hearing distance of a minor.
What if the offender breaches the Protection or Restraining Order?
If a person subject to a Protection or a Restraining Order breaches the restrictions or prohibitions imposed thereunder without a reasonable excuse, such person would be guilty of an offence punishable with a fine of €2329.37 or to imprisonment of up to six month or to both such fine and imprisonment .
Can offenders receive treatment to change their abusive behaviour?
A Treatment Order may be issued by the Courts together with or separately from a Protection Order and provided the court is satisfied that proper arrangements have been made or can be made for treatment of the person accused. The effects of a treatment order entail that a person would submit to treatment subject to the conditions which the court may deem appropriate to lay down in the order. When a person is accused by has not yet been found guilty by the Court, the Court may only issue such an order with the consent of the accused. Once a person is found guilty, however, a treatment order may be issued with or without the consent of the convicted person.
If a person subject to a Treatment Order breaches the restrictions or prohibitions imposed thereunder without a reasonable excuse, such person would be guilty of an offence punishable with a fine (ammenda) not exceeding €1164.69 .
The Civil Code mentions that in the case of a personal separa[on between spouses where there is domestic violence involved, the case shall be appointed for a hearing within four days and the court may of its own motion before or after hearing the par[es issue a Protection Order or a Treatment Order .
What other crimes are related to Domestic Violence?
The Criminal Code also envisages the offences of 'harassment' and 'fear of violence'. Harassment occurs when there is a course of conduct which amount to harassment of another person and the perpetrator knows or ought to known that this amounts to harassment of such other person. It includes alarming a person or causing the person distress. Such course of conduct must be repetitive in the sense that it must be persistent or carried out on more than one occasion. Harassment implies an action which causes such stress on the individual that it results in depression or emotional distress. If harassment is carried out on any of the persons mentioned above there is an aggravation.
What is the Istanbul Convention?
The Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention) is a convention against violence against women and domestic violence in general. The main purpose of this convention is to prevent violence and to protect the victims and "to end with the impunity of perpetrators" .
Malta signed this Convention in May 2012 and it entered into full force in 2014. Malta, alongside 13 other Member States, ratified the Istanbul Convention therefore binding the government to implement measures and adopt legislation to classify all forms of violence against women as a violation of human rights.
According to the convention, violence includes the following:
1. Psychological Harm
2. Stalking
3. Sexual Harassment
4. Physical and Sexual harm, including rape, forced marriage, female and genital mutilation, forced abortion and forced sterilisation.
Does the victim have to file a report for the Police to take action?
According to Article 543 of the Criminal Code, the Police are empowered to proceed ex officio in those cases involving domestic violence. This means that if the victim does not personally lodge a complaint with the Police, the Police still have the power to proceed against the offender. This is a way of protecting the victim further, even in situations where perhaps the vic[m is unable to lodge a complaint due to fear from the offender. The Courts then decide whether to go on with the proceedings by taking into consideration all the factors of the case, par[cularly the best interests of any minor involved.
How can a victim claim protection under the law?
A Protection Order may be issued when a person is charged or accused before the related Court if this is necessary for the safety of the victim or other individuals, or to keep public peace. Such Protection Order may impose restrictions or prohibitions on the accused that appear necessary to the court or desirable in the circumstances. By virtue of such protection order, the accused may be :
Prohibited or restricted from approaching or following the movements of the injured person or any other individual specified in the order.
Prohibited or restricted access for a period not exceeding six month or until final judgment, to the premises in which the injured person, or any other individual specified in the order, lives, works or frequents even if the accused has a legal interests in those premises.
Prohibited from contac[ng or moles[ng the injured person or any other individual specified in the order Before making an order, the Court shall take into particular account the need to ensure that:
The injured person or other individual specified in the order is protected from injury or molestation.
The welfare of any children or any dependants who may be affected by the order.
The accused's willingness or otherwise to submit to such treatment as the court may deem appropriate.
The accommoda[on needs of all persons who may be affected by the order, in par[cular of the injured person, his children and his other dependants -‐ Any hardship that may be caused to the accused or to any other person as a results of making the order
And also any other marker that, in the circumstances of the case, the court considers relevant.
A Restraining Order may be issued by the courts in passing judgments for any of the reasons related to the issue of a protec[on order. Its effects are the same as that of a protection order.

Gaines Massey has been running the chain crew for Clemson University football since it was turned over to him in 2010, but he was a member of the crew for several years before that. He said although he is not a Clemson graduate, he loves football and wouldn't want to be anywhere else on Saturday.
The crew working with him now has been working together for almost a decade. They say that the "Clemson family" atmosphere carries over into their work. While their job is volunteer-based, Clemson football makes sure they get a meal every game, and they have even received ACC Championship and National Championship rings.
"It's a labor of love," says Massey.
They crew has a different perspective when it comes to watching the games, but they can each recall moments that they know they won't ever forget.
Massey talks about watching former Clemson running back, C.J. Spiller, play his freshman year against Georgia Tech. "He caught a pass, did two quick jukes, and he was in the end zone," says Massey. It happened right in front of him.
The crew almost unanimously agrees that the 2015 Notre Dame game is also one of those moments that they will always remember.
Brian Tillotson, a member of the crew, played football at Clemson, and says that this job is even more fun than playing. He remembers the crew being pulled up to work the ACC championship for Florida State and Duke. During the game, a member of the crew was standing, talking to them. When it was time for the time for the crew to move the chains, he had a leg caught between them. They took off running right when he moved his leg, so he fell.
While they discuss the fun that they have on the sidelines, they reiterate how seriously they take their job. Massey requires that each member of his crew be an official because he believes having that training helps them to see what the officials see and to be more efficient.
In 2010, in an effort to assist officials with reviewing plays, they started marking the "previous spot." This is where the ball was last snapped from. The ACC has recently made this a rule for the conference.
Sports fans can be a little superstitious, and for Massey, being on the sidelines hasn't changed that. He talks about a rock that his older son found years ago, when he was about 6 years old.
He told his son that if Clemson won that day, he would always carry it, and to this day, he still does. His son is now a Clemson University alumnus.
Tim Sullivan is the clip man for the crew. He attaches a clip to the chain, marking whichever yard line that is intersecting with the chain. He does this for every new series.
Sullivan says that he recently congratulated Dabo Swinney on 10 years with the program, and that Swinney said he was looking for 10 more.

wherever that may be?
–Questions of Travel, Elizabeth Bishop
Susan Goethel Campbell | Questions of Travel
Planthouse, in collaboration with Aspinwall Editions, is pleased to present Susan Goethel Campbell | Questions of Travel, the first exhibition with the artist at the gallery. The exhibition includes eleven prints from her series Lost Cities. The prints all made while in lockdown are being shown in New York for the first time.
Click here to view the exhibition checklist.
Click here to shop the exhibition.
Each Lost City print comprises two layers of thin Goyu paper printed in colors from birch plywood and perforated with tiny hand-punched holes. The hues and wood grain patterns evoke aquatic or snow-covered environments, and the perforations suggest networks of lights that delineate settlements, urban grids, thoroughfares, and bridges. Some of these holes only pierce the top layer of paper, exposing the printed paper's color underneath; other holes go through both layers, revealing the bright white of the backing board.
Susan Goethel Campbell is a multi-disciplinary artist based in metropolitan Detroit. Her work considers the engineered environment as a natural process. The integration and erasure of human agency over broader global systems is a concept central to Campbell's practice. Her work is realized in several formats, including prints, drawings, photographs, video, and installation.
I like to fly at night, in a window seat. I consider the lights of the sprawling metropolis below as if it were a drawing. The quality of the line is paramount, while the science of linearity seems irrational. Without the ground and a sightline, there is no convergence.
In January of 2020, I started a series of perforated woodblock prints after a Caribbean trip. During my trip, however, I flew during the day. My window seat became a site of conflict between rational thinking about coastal cities, rising sea levels, and the seduction of water. The intense hues of blues and greens eventually won over. As the horizon disappeared, so did I, and I found myself floating in a subliminal space.
This experience inspires my Lost City prints. They are situated somewhere between the cognition of space and materiality. I use color to imply that the ground plane is aquatic. Like a pianist who always has their foot on the pedal, I sustain color to create space. The more saturated a hue, the deeper the water. Interruption comes through perforations in the color field—a reminder of the print's physicality as an object made of paper.
Since the pandemic, I have not been on a plane. Because of this, my work in the studio is shifting. I am relying more on my memory of physical places and the original spark that triggered my senses. Color can have sound, and light can be physical. Staying on the ground has not been a bad thing; it has opened up my work and imagination.
Campbell's work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Slovenia, and throughout the United States. Her work is in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the New York Public Library, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.
Campbell received a Kresge Artist Fellowship In 2009 and has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Flemish Center for Graphic Arts, the Jentel Foundation, Beisinghoff Print residency and the Print Research Institute of North Texas.
She has taught studio art at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, including on the faculty of both the Cranbrook Academy of Art and the College for Creative Studies. She has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions of higher education throughout the country.


This week is the UK's 14th annual story telling week, it is a celebration of how we relate stories to one another, whether it's from talking about stories from our childhoods, to films we have seen and books we have read; giving out to all cultures, and raising questions.
Tales are quite often passed down through the generations, with each new child discovering the excitement of a story for the very first time. The ultimate pleasure for a parent is sharing the thrill of their favourite tale and seeing it revived through the eyes of their children.
Some stories and characters have stood the test of time, and some haven't. Enid Blighton's 'Famous Five' stories had a huge impact on children during the 70's and 80's – they were thrilling, and gave life to the boredom of the endless summer holidays. However these stories no longer really translate into modern day living, the language in that period seems out dated, and children's level of what they find thrilling is much more advanced. Instead these stories have metamorphasised into new adventures, with new characters our children can relate to in today's multi-cultural society.
Telling a story doesn't depend on how it is translated, it is about being transported into a different world, one of make believe, one made from our imagination, where anything and everything is possible, pushing the boundaries of our own restricted world.


~Schulz Sightings~: Home again, home again, jiggedy jig!!
After possibly the longest 48 hours of my entire life, we set foot in the Austin Airport to friends and family (pictures to come later) in what was the sweetest homecoming ever.
Drew slept for about 5 of the 28 hour trip... I also found out that size 3 diapers are completely insufficient. To all of you I hugged in the airport, I am sorry.
We ran into some drama with the embassy in Nairobi Monday afternoon (scheduled to fly out Monday night). The woman there was NOT going to process our visas that day. She had NO intention of doing it, siting some "child clearance that had not happened in the States" hmmm...not likely. With our sheer diplomacy (stubbornness and begging), but really mostly desperate prayer, she relented, and 2 hours later walked out with our completed Visa packet. It was truly a miracle, one of MANY over the course of the previous 3 weeks.
Drew and I had a very good few days alone in Nairobi, we went to the Nairobi museum, out to eat, to visit Aliyah in the hospital, down to socialize with the hotel staff, and watched WAY too many Modern Family episodes for his tender age. I had a fantastic "supplier"(of movies), Simon, down on the street outside the hotel.
oh, it was a sweet time this morning. Drew loved Lucy and Preston, finding them hilarious.
Andy had the house spotless when we walked in last night! It now looks like a bomb went off. Drew was up and down in the night, but I had taken 2 Ambian and don't really remember it all. Good thing for Andy! Jet lag nausea is setting in this afternoon. So, I'll go. Preston and Lucy are in LOVE!
SO precious! We are just thrilled that your family is together in TEXAS!! What an exciting time. It's been a joy to see your story unfold and the way God has brought Drew into your lives and you all into his. He is an absolute doll!
welcome home! hope you feel better soon!
ahhh!!! precious! can't WAIT to hear/see more SOON!! so glad you are HOME!
Welcome home!! We're so glad you are all back safely and finally together. We can't wait to see you guys and meet Drew!
Welcome home. He is so cute!
Yay!!! Welcome home! So happy for you! He is precious!!
It was so fun to see y'all yesterday in person! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. It's been a blast to watch from a distance and be able to pray for you guys.
LOVE the photos of all of the kids together! I can't wait until it's our turn.
Thanks for the pics and letting us into your life this morning! We can't wait to see you guys and hope you are feeling better soon! Praise the Lord!
So, so wonderful! Drew - an orphan, no more - I love it! Thank you Jesus. Thank you Em and Andy for your loving obedience!
Can't wait to squeeze him!

Q: xquery full search text of children Is it possible to do a search for a key words in an exist-db using xquery?
I've tried using
//foo//@val[. &= $param]

But this returns an error because this isn't supported with my version of exist-db (1.4.2)
What is the best way to do a search over a number of nodes?
<xml>
   <foo @val='test1'>
   <bar @val='test2'>
       <thunk @val='test3'/>
   </bar>
   </foo>

So with my example XML, how can I do
let $result :=

if //xml/foo[contains(@val,$param)] or
//xml/foo/bar[contains(@val,$param)] or
//xml/foo/bar/thunk[contains(@val,$param)]

return $result

A: Either of these should work:
//foo//@val[contains(.,$param)]

//foo//@val[. eq $param]

However, there are obviously issues to consider when using contains() instead of equals. Also, if the paths will always be constrained as you describe in your example, and you are only checking to see if any of those are true (as opposed to actually getting all the elements), then this should be a faster and more efficient query:
((//xml/foo[@val eq $param])[1] or (//xml/foo/bar[@val eq $param])[1] or (//xml/foo/bar/thunk[@val eq $param])[1])

Untested, but the [1] should short-circuit the xpath evaluator after it gets its first result from the query, and the ORs should short-circuit the expression when any one of them returns a value.

One of Japan's most popular television shows "Why did you come to Japan" contacted us to be one of their episodes. You will be able to see their clip online until March 31st, 2018.
Just as the title of the show suggests, it follows tourists coming to Japan who go on unique not so touristy journeys.
Arigato to those who reached out to us to be a part of the show, and also to the hosts who saw the episode and decided to become hosts.

500 Home Run Club Rawlings Baseball Bat Signed by (22) with Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Eddie Mathews, Harmon Killebrew with Inscriptions (Beckett LOA - Autograph Grade 9)
Rawlings 500 Home Run Club baseball bat. Hand-signed in black felt-tip pen by (22) members of the Baseball 500 Home Run Club including Eddie Mathews, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Hank Aaron, Eddie Murray, Ernie Banks, Ken Griffey Jr., Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson, Albert Pujols and (11) others. The autographs have been given a grade of (Beckett) 9.
Likely the most complete 500 Home Run Club bat in existence! Excluding the signatures of Ruth, Foxx, and Ott which would be nearly impossible to find on any 500 Home Run Club piece this bat represents the most complete assemblage of signatures ever presented for sale. Missing just Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz for completeness, the final two signatures could likely be added as both players are still signing publicly. The twenty-two remaining signers include Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Willie McCovey, Eddie Mathews, Ernie Banks, Gary Sheffield, Jim Thome, Ken Griffey Jr. Eddie Murray, Sammy Sosa, Mike Schmidt, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Rafael Palmeiro, Frank Thomas, Mark McGwire, and Albert Pujols who has added "600 HR and 3000 Hit" inscriptions along with the dates he achieved each milestone. It cannot be stated enough that this is truly one of the rarest of all 500 Home Run Club pieces on the market and would cost a fortune to replicate if you could even locate the players necessary to do so. Don't miss out or you may never get a chance to own a bat this complete again!
The lot / autograph(s) includes an official Beckett Authentication Services hologram and matching LOA for authenticity purposes.
Authentication: Beckett LOA

Q: Using contains and match at same time? Is there a simple way to do this type of compare:
$s =  {"This is a dog" ,"This is a cat"}

$s | where {$_.Phrase -contains -match{"dog",cat","rat"} }

Basically, if the left contains any part of anything on the right, I want it returned.
Or do I have to do -or for each thing on the right?

A: Assuming that $s is an array of strings (and not a scriptblock) you could create the appropriate regular expression for the -match operator and just use that:
# ~> $s =  @("This is a dog" ,"This is a cat", "this is neither")

# ~> $s | where {$_ -match "dog|cat|rat" }
This is a dog
This is a cat

For my customer I was implementing some advanced BuildNumbering mechanism (Here can you find a good post about this). Because it was important that the stuff worked, I wrote some Unit Tests. I usually do that and need IBuildDetail.
You don't have to guess what happened when I followed the guidance in the error message. To solve this is actually very simple and has nothing to do with build.
Thanks to William Bartholomew for pointing this out to me!
