Thomas Aquinas: A Life from Beginning to End
Biographies of Christians, Book 6
Narrated by: Mike Nelson
Thomas Aquinas is known as a great theologian, and his treatises and theories are studied by clergy all over the world. He is celebrated for his words of wisdom as well as the alleged miracles that he performed while he was still alive. Yet as large as his acclaim may be, Aquinas has also had his fair share of detractors both during his lifetime and long thereafter. Casting all accolades and critiques aside, in this book, you will find the raw, bare bones of the man who Thomas Aquinas came to be.
A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of Criminals)
With the help of a newspaper reporter, a legend was created of Jesse James as a hero and defender of the South. That legend gave Jesse James 20 years to rob and kill at will, as it was usually disguised in the press as heroism. No lawman was ever able to bring Jesse James down; ultimately, he died at the hands of one of his own men. This book tells the story of his life from beginning to end.
A Life from Beginning to End
Audie Murphy was a movie star, writer, and one of the most decorated soldiers who ever lived. He was barely 18 years old when he was shipped off to fight Fascists in Italy during World War II. As he himself would later liken it, he went "to hell and back" and lived to tell the tale. In this book, we will dive deeper to bring you the man behind the medals. Here is a telling of the life and legend of Audie Murphy in full.
Persian Empire
A History from Beginning to End
The history of the Persian Empire (or Empires) stretches from ancient times well into the 20th century.

Uncover the fascinating story of this influential and unique civilization.
A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of Musicians)
John Lennon is often known as the rebellious, troubled Beatle - as if his disposition was just a bit gloomier than the rest. Lennon did indeed have his struggles in life. He was raised by an austere and controlling aunt, and he barely knew his own mother and father. As a result, Lennon grew up with a serious need for love, affection, and attention. It was this desire for recognition that would drive Lennon to reach for the stars. Come along as we explore the life and legend of John Lennon, from his troubled childhood, to his superstardom and eventual assassination in 1980.
Native American History
Until surprisingly recently, most history books noted that America was discovered in 1492 by Christopher Columbus. The truth was that by the time that Columbus arrived in America, people had been living there for more than 12,000 years. This is the story of the gradual rise, sudden destruction, and slow recovery of the native people of North America.
And we call ourselves civilized!

James Buchanan: A Life from Beginning to End
Biographies of US Presidents
When James Buchanan was inaugurated president in March of 1857, he had inherited a powder keg that was just waiting to explode into the turmoil that was the American Civil War. Buchanan has since been vilified as being the great appeaser who placated the South enough to embolden them to secede from the Union. He is frequently listed as one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States. Buchanan himself, however, always held out the hope that history would vindicate him and the role he played.
Length: 1 hr and 1 min
Although he was born in what was considered the backwaters of the Roman Empire, Saint Augustine of Hippo has long been renowned for his early religious and philosophical thought. He has been called a doctor of the Church for his unrivaled ability of patching up even the most complex of theological questions. He tackled such things as the condition of the soul and the omnipotence of God. During the course of his tenure as bishop of the North-African city of Hippo, Augustine often gained as many critics as he did followers.
Boston Massacre: A History from Beginning to End
American Revolution, Book 1
What makes a shooting a massacre? If a mob of hundreds is facing down eight soldiers, and five citizens are killed, is that the Boston Massacre or the Incident on King Street? As was the case with so many of the tumultuous events in America's colonial history, the answer depended upon whether one regarded oneself as a British subject or a free American.
William Wallace: A Life from Beginning to End
Scottish History, Book 1
William Wallace; if ever there was a champion in the annals of Scottish history, he was it. Known as a proud Scot who rose through the ranks to challenge the English king, Wallace was a mere man who became larger than life - large enough even for the likes of Mel Gibson to play him in Braveheart for movie-going audiences on the silver screen. But who was William Wallace? What separates the real man from the myth?

The Great Famine: A History from Beginning to End
The Great Famine which afflicted Ireland from 1845 to 1849 was one of the most catastrophic events in Europe during the 19th century. More than one-quarter of the population of Ireland died of starvation or associated disease, or were forced to emigrate...The Great Famine left a legacy of distrust and animosity between large segments of the population of Ireland and Great Britain, and this in part led to the movements which finally produced Irish independence.
Many ancient civilizations are described as mysterious, but none provide as many puzzles and unanswered questions as the Olmecs. These people arrived in lands near the Gulf of Mexico around 1500 BCE and brought with them entirely new concepts in terms of engineering, agriculture, and religion. The problem is we have no idea where they came from or how they developed these new ideas.
Jane Austen: A Life from Beginning to End
Biographies of British Authors, Book 2
Jane Austen wrote that in her novels she painted the world on a "little bit (two inches wide) of ivory," working "with so fine a brush." Her well-known books, such as Pride and Prejudice and Emma, display the power of this approach; her observations about human nature have proven so accurate and entertaining that her books continue to be beloved 200 years after they were written.
The Sumerians: A History from Beginning to End
Narrated by: Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr.
The Sumerians settled in the area known as Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, around 5,000 years ago. They produced many fundamental changes to the way in which human societies developed - these were the first city-builders, the first people to use wheeled vehicles, the first methodical astronomers, and the first people to develop a sophisticated written language. The Sumerians also produced art, music, and literature as well as created some of the first professional soldiers the world had ever seen.

The Opium Wars: A History from Beginning to End
Narrated by: Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr
Violent confrontation between armed groups over the supply of illegal narcotics is something we commonly associate with criminal gangs in modern cities, but in the mid-19th century Great Britain went to war with Imperial China in order to continue to supply Chinese addicts with opium. The two wars that followed have become known as the Opium Wars, and they led to the utter defeat of China, the establishment of a British colony in Hong Kong, and the continuation of a narcotics trade that was worth millions of pounds each year to the British.

Nuremberg Trials: A History from Beginning to End
Narrated by: Jason Zenobia
Discover the remarkable history of the Nuremberg Trials...In 1933, the National Socialist German Workers' Party, triumphant after the July 1932 elections, was the largest political party in Germany. The Nazis quickly banned all other political parties and proceeded to implement the policies which aroused the anti-Semitic sentiment of the German people. When the Allied Powers joined forces to fight the Nazis, they were determined to bring the German leaders to justice in an international court where they would be tried for their war crimes.
French Revolution: A History from Beginning to End
One Hour History Revolution, Book 1
During the late years of the 18th century, the spirit of Enlightenment thinking and revolution were in the air. The world was changing, moving away from ingrained beliefs about religion, reason, society, and the rights of the individual and turning more toward the laws of nature as interpreted by the scientific method. Nowhere was the influence of this radical new way of thinking more apparent than in France, and the upheaval this caused would come to bloody fruition in the form of revolution.

Saint Peter, also known as Peter the Apostle, was one of the main figures of the early Christian Church. He began his life as a simple fisherman who caught fish in the Sea of Galilea, but one day, this fisherman became a "fisher of men" instead. In good time, he would help to form one of the largest religious movements the world had ever known, eventually giving his life to the cause when he was sentenced to death by crucifixion. Here, in this audiobook, we discover the life of Saint Peter from beginning to end.

Bridge financing can be described as the short term financial solution that a company can adopt so as to be able to take care of the financial aspects that they are engaged with before they are in a position to get a long time solution for their financial situation.
When an organization gets into an agreement with a financial institution when they are in need of a short term financial assistance so as to cater for the organizations needs the money that will be handed over to the organization will either be a loan and some instances an equity investment.When a company is in need of bridge financing it means that the finance solution that they will get from a financial institution ought to be able to sustain the company's needs until the time that the company will be in a position to be able rise and be on its feet.
One of the common instances that is mostly observed when companies take bridge financing is for example when they do not have enough capital to finance the business for as certain period of time and have to get assistance of a financial institution to offer financial solution when in a position to reap profit at the end. One of the options in which an organization can be able to obtain bridge financing for its short term financial needs is a through a bridge loan which indicates that the company can obtain the financial assistance from a financial institution at a high interest.
Organization that are arranging for a bridge loan are always advised to have a well-established financial plan as the interest that they are charged for the bridge loan are in most cases high and could cause a strain in the business.
The other option in which an organization can be able to acquire bridge financing for its short term financial solution is through equity bridge financing and this is a solution that can be picked up by an organization when they choose not to take a debt at high interest from the financial institutions. A venture capital institution can opt to provide a company with the equity bridge financing solution and this is achieved by the company selling part of its equity ownership to the venture capital institution so as to provide the company with the capital that they are in need of.


The most recent issue of the International Journal of Alcohol and Drug Research is a collection on articles that focuses on FASD. The articles include pieces by Canada FASD Research Network members Jacqueline Pei, Dorothy Badry, and Aileen Feske. (View the Table of Contents here; all articles are available for free download).
In this special issue, there is a very interesting study by Philip May and colleagues who looked at the use of case management to prevent FASD. Their research took place in a South African community with a subculture of heavy, regular, weekend, recreational drinking and high documented rates of FASD and with women who were at high risk of drinking heavily throughout their pregnancy (e.g., because they had previously given birth to a child diagnosed with FASD or had drunk heavily during a previous pregnancy).
They provided 41 women with 18 months of case management support by a social worker or nurse. Through case management, women received education, coaching, and support with accessing inner strengths and external resources to reduce their alcohol use and address a range of other life issues.
The researchers used a number of different tools to track changes in drinking practices, including AUDIT scores, average alcohol consumption, and estimated peak BAC measures, at 6, 12, and 18 months after starting the study.
They found that case management was particularly effective with pregnant women in reducing alcohol consumption. And while alcohol levels remained at lower levels than when they started the study, many women resumed previous drinking practices after pregnancy. This suggests that case management can be effective during critical periods, but other initiatives (e.g., changing the culture of drinking) are likely required to support women in making lasting changes.
Overall, this study is part of a growing body of literature supporting the use of case-management approaches for women at highest risk of having a child with FASD.

The passion fruit as a conductive thread in Kiki, Onda and Rubj EDP concentrations was for me a strange idea at a first moment and left me worried about how would be the final result. But you can see that the use of this exotic fruit was thought-out and carefully combined with the original idea. The fruit behaves in a more or less exotic way in each of the fragrances, producing different influence on the final result of each fragrance. If on Onda you see that she disputes the center of attentions with the vetiver and if on Kiki you see she producing an unexpected harmony with the sweet lavender, on Rubj she is just used as a secondary note that gives an extra color to the lush and romantic floral theme. Rubj EDP is to the original extrait like a high couture idea translated to a more affordable reality but keeping the original quality. Rubj like it was at first is something that stand out with the outstanding orange flower, but the intensity is not easy to control and may limit its wearing. The EDP keeps the main idea but diminutes the intensity and keep the strong aroma, giving it more legibility to the small details. Rubj opens with a quick citrus opening and doesn't waist time to reach the floral accord formed by sweet and hot nuances. The passion fruit is quite hidden behind the orange flower exuberance and the tuberose, replacing in parts the fruity and sensual animalic aspects of the jasmine used in the extrait. It's a a floral aroma that surrounds your skin and nose with an aroma that seems to seduce you with a cheerful and bright smell. This is not a silly love, and it's carefully constructed to not tire the nose by not going only into a single direction. You see that the floral idea morphs into a creamy and woody base, a support for the heart that doesn't compete with it during the moments the flowers sings on skin. Cedar, musk, and moss gave structure to the silk flower tissue; you can also notice the basil as one of the tiniest details of the sewing that helps to enrich all the rest. Rubj edp uses every little detail with harmony, showing that you can do an exotic and balanced composition when you have high quality materials and a perfumer focused on the quality of her art, doing the best she can without the pressure of launching a fragrance the way a rabbit produce puppies: at a high quantity, but hard to differentiate one from the other. This is a fragrance that the lovers of romantic and exuberant flowers should check to see what they are missing.

Since its introduction in 1943 Recommended Dietary Allowances has become the accepted source of nutrient allowances for healthy people.
These Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are used throughout the food and health fields. Additionally, RDAs serve as the basis for the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances, the Food and Drug Administration's standards for nutrition labeling of foods.
The 10th Edition includes research results and expert interpretations from years of progress in nutrition research since the previous edition and provides not only RDAs but also "Estimated Safe and Adequate Daily Dietary Intakes"--provisional values for nutrients where data were insufficient to set an RDA.
Organized by nutrient for ready reference, the volume reviews the function of each nutrient in the human body, sources of supply, effects of deficiencies and excessive intakes, relevant study results, and more.
The volume concludes with the invaluable "Summary Table of Recommended Dietary Allowances," a convenient and practical summary of the recommendations.

Biografie
Charles Burnett wurde am 13. April 1944 in Vicksburg als Sohn einer Krankenschwester und eines Soldaten geboren. Als Charles Burnett drei Jahre alt war, zog die Familie nach Watts. Dort ließen sich die Eltern scheiden. Danach wurden er und sein Bruder von der Großmutter aufgezogen.

Nach Abschluss der Highschool schrieb sich Charles Burnett am Los Angeles City College mit dem Studienfach Electronics ein. Das Studium brach er ab und wechselte zur UCLA. Dort studierte er ab 1966 als Hauptfächer Schreiben und Sprache, unter anderem bei Elyseo Taylor und Basil Wright, und schloss 1971 mit einem Bachelor in Fine Arts ab. 1977 erwarb er seinen Master of Fine Arts mit dem Filmwerk Schafe töten (Originaltitel: Killer of Sheep).

Er ist mit Gaye Shannon-Burnett verheiratet, das Paar hat zwei gemeinsame Söhne.

Filmschaffen

Schafe töten (Originaltitel: Killer of Sheep)

Der Film spielt in den 1970er Jahren im Los-Angeles-Stadtteil Watts, in dem Charles Burnett aufwuchs. Der Protagonist Stan, ein sensibler Träumer und auf Rechtschaffenheit bedacht, lebt dort mit seiner Familie. Um diese zu ernähren, arbeitet Stan in einem Schlachthof und weidet dort Schafe aus. Je länger er dort arbeitet, desto mehr schottet er sich von seiner Familie ab. Seine ebenfalls überarbeitete Frau bemerkt dies, kann jedoch nichts dagegen tun.

Rezeption
Seine Abschlussarbeit an der UCLA Schafe töten wird mittlerweile als Meilenstein des Afro-Amerikanischen Films betrachtet.

Der Film wurde erstmals auf der Berlinale 1981 gezeigt. 2007 wurde eine durch das Unternehmen Milestone Films restaurierte Fassung aufgeführt. Anlässlich dieser Veröffentlichung schrieb 2007 der The New York Times-Filmkritiker Dave Kehr

Auch für den Autor Chuck Kleinhans ist der neorealistische Film Schafe töten wegen seiner einfühlsamen dokumentarischen Qualitäten ein Meilenstein im Afro-Amerikanischen Film.

Im Jahr 1990 wurde der Film, zusammen mit 49 weiteren, in das National Film Registry der Library of Congress aufgenommen.
Die ungeklärten Musikrechte haben dreißig Jahre verhindert, dass der Film in den Verleih kam.

Zur Hochzeit meines Bruders (Originaltitel: My Brother's Wedding)

Nach der Aufführung von Schafe töten auf der Berlinale 1981 vereinbarte das Zweite Deutsche Fernsehen die Mitfinanzierung des nächsten Films von Charles Burnett. Dieser wurde 1983 im Fernsehen unter dem Titel Zur Hochzeit meines Bruders ausgestrahlt. Anschließend "verschwand" der Film aus der Öffentlichkeit. Nach dem Verkauf der Filmrechte erarbeitete Charles Burnett eine von 113 auf 88 Minuten gekürzte Schnittfassung, die auf der Berlinale 2008 uraufgeführt wurde.

Weitere Filme
Der Film Das Ende der Nacht wurde auf der documenta X vorgeführt. Kurz vor Ende der documenta X, sie lief vom 21. Juni bis zum 28. September 1997, veröffentlichte Charles Burnett am 27. September 1997 den Film Documenta X - Die Filme.

1990s, See & Do October 19, 2013
The City Hall can accommodate 5 000 to 6 000 people
"Unfortunately, Tallinn's harbor is disfigured of derelict docks, cargo and a military concrete plant. Furthermore located here, you will find the old gas factory from 1860s and a generator that was completed years before the First World War. However, it has been planned to clean up and rebuild the harbor, so it shows that Tallinn is located by the sea. A first sample of the new bold architecture is The City Hall, as seen on the right side when you are on the way from the harbor to the town. It is actually named after V.I Lenin, but is rather just called The City Hall. From outside, it look rather grey, but from inside you will understand why it been praised by architects from all around the world.
The City Hall can accommodate 5 000 to 6 000 people in a large hall, which has the shape of an amphitheater. It can be used for sporting events, concerts and political conferences. One can also play bowling here and afterwards drinking coffee in a very known café. The Popular Front of Estonia held their first congress here in october 1, 1988. Both The Popular Front of Estonia and other organisations have since then organised political meetings here, and now been able to say things which just a few years ago would have brought both speakers, organisers and maybe even audience to prison camps or mental hospitals . Since 1988-89, people have been able to speak almost as freely in Estonia as in Sweden – hopefully it can be so in the future."

I have to admit that I was not a fan of the original Carlos' Cuban Cafe here in Tallahassee – I was more of a Gordo's girl, and grew to love Black Bean Cafe.
However, Carlos' shut down and has reemerged as a small bistro, the Cuban Grill, over on Capital Circle NE, to the far north end by Esposito's. They have also added a cute outdoor seating area that will be nice when the weather is cooperative.
The menu is relatively small, but filled with great Cuban classics. I decided to get the Cuban, as it is one of my favorite iconic sandwiches.
My husband got the Pan con Pollo sandwich, featuring grilled mojo chicken breast , onions and mojo sauce. The chicken was cooked well but still juicy, and the onions gave a nice bite. In addition, the sides of beans and rice was rich and yummy, especially when topped with the obligatory doses of hot sauce.
Although we had sandwiches this time, I look forward to coming back and trying some of the dinner entrees. I am really glad to discover this Cuban phoenix, and hope to come back to this side of town for lunch (or dinner) soon.

Our review of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at Hull New Theatre
X Factor winner Joe McElderry offers a charismatic performance in the lead role
David Spereall
Eight years on from his first brush with fame as winner of the X-Factor, Joe McElderry is back on the big stage as the headline performer in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
Starting its five-night run at the New Theatre on Tuesday, this rendition of the biblical hit is short on dialogue and big on hydroponics, and as you might expect colour, making it a very easy and fun watch even if you're indifferent to musicals. Its fast pace and feel-good bounce are easily its strongest attributes.
With several of his fellow talent show victors having notoriously fallen into the graveyard of anonymity in recent years, McElderry can take credit for having successfully reinvented himself in a complex role that requires boundless energy, enthusiasm and genuine sparkle - certainly more than is needed to succeed in a Saturday night karaoke competition these days. A versatile vocal range and a smile helps too.
Lloyd Webber's musical carries enduring appeal. (Image: Pace Communications)
He and many of the cast reunited and reprised their old roles for this autumn tour after performing up and down the country in the spring of 2016. With experience comes assuredness and on-stage chemistry between characters, which is palpable here.

Given the pressure that must come with following the likes of Jason Donovan and Donny Osmond who sported the famous multi-coloured garment during the production's 90s heyday, it's notable that McElderry looks unfazed and certainly not out of place. Indeed, The Stage magazine suggested in 2016 that he may be the best Joseph there has ever been and although that might be open to debate this performance in Hull was one of great charisma.
McElderry is excellently supported by narrator Trina Hill, who negotiated a flimsy-looking but impressively built staircase in high heels with astute balance, and by stage veteran Henry Metcalfe in the role of wide-eyed patriarch Jacob.
The production runs at the New Theatre until Saturday, November 4. (Image: Pace Communications)
Noting that some of the cast are crowbarred into multiple roles with little time for transition, the speed and efficiency of some of the costume changes, set transformations and stage entries and exits is at times so smooth and seamless as to be baffling.
12 great gigs and events to catch in Hull this week
Key to the musical's enduring and eternal appeal is its messages of eventual absolution for the 11 treacherous brothers who sell their upstart kid brother into slavery and then gleefully proclaim his death, the talk of Promised Lands, returning home and of parental favouritism. Even though it is Old Testament material, it's easy to under-estimate just how well Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice make the themes highly relatable to a modern audience with domestic instincts and emotions.
Indeed, watching someone get stuck in a foreign land with little to no hope of returning to his or her family will evoke empathy from anyone who's booked a return flight with Ryanair over the last couple of months.
Although Lloyd Webber's prolonged musical tribute to Elvis at the start of Act Two is very much marmite love-it-or-hate-it territory, the mix of gentle mournful ballads and happy-clappy evangelical sing-songs make the overall package undeniably enjoyable.
In short, if you can tolerate 'Jacob and Sons' on repeat in your head in the sleepless hours afterwards, then the fun to be had is worth it!
The production is at Hull New Theatre until Saturday, November 4.

Could we have asked for better weather?! After a bit of an early morning sprinkle, the skies cleared up and the sun came out for our inaugural Tickleberry's Run for the 2017 season. There was an unprecedented number of cars that showed up for the day. 28 cars left the SOEC in Penticton and travelled along Green Mountain Road to the Yellow Lake rest area. Unbelievably, there were no horses or other wildlife on that stretch and very little traffic. Along the White Lake Road, we did find a number of potholes which made the drive a bit of a slalom event. A comment was heard that the road was like a golf course with all the holes. Ask Casey about finding his bump stops on his suspension!
We did make it safely to Lion's Park in Oliver and were able to park all our cars in the parking lot. The sun stayed out for our picnic lunch stop even though it got a bit breezy. Not quite suntan weather yet. After lunch we split up a bit. Some headed off to the River Stone Estate Winery and the rest headed directly to Tickleberry's. That completed, we were on our own to head back home. What a great day!!!!
As far as I am concerned the visit to the River Stone Winery was a really good idea, even if some of the 19 cars got a bit lost (late in arriving). My bad, as a leader: does this mean that I'm off the hook for any further leading duties? Spoke with Ted Kane at the winery, they enjoyed having us there and would welcome any of us back again.
Speaking with several participants and seeing various emails post-event the overall experience of the run appears to have been very positive and enjoyable.

Los Angeles Teachers Union Calls For Elimination Of 400-Strong School Police Force
The union representing teachers and support staff in Los Angeles is calling for the district's 400-member school police force to be eliminated as part of the effort to "dismantle white supremacy."
At a Monday event alongside Black Lives Matter leaders, according to the LA Times, the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) union demanded that the police force in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) be eliminated:
Leaders of United Teachers Los Angeles said Monday they support a movement to eliminate the Los Angeles School Police Department, a force of about 400 that serves the L.A. Unified School District and accounts for about $70 million of the district's $7.9 billion budget.
"We have to dismantle white supremacy. We must … defund the police and bring in the mental health services that our students need," said Cecily Myart-Cruz, the incoming president of UTLA, which represents about 30,000 teachers, nurses, counselors and other staff in the school district.
The union leadership endorsement and public announcement during a labor news conference with Black Lives Matter Los Angeles bring an influential voice to what is certain to be an intense debate over school safety.
The police union, in turn, heartily denounced the demand, noting that school police officers are often tasked with breaking up fights, acting as peacekeepers in gang-ridden school districts, and deterring school shootings.
Back in February 2018, the LA Times reported that school police are an integral part of the district's school shooting prevention. Many parents in the district supported the presence of armed police officers on school grounds at the time.
In an op-ed for Breitbart following the LA Times report, Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow died in the Parkland high school shooting in Florida in 2018, warned that Black Lives Matter encouraging school districts to cut ties with police forces will ultimately put students at risk.
"If you live in a Democrat-run city, get your kids out now," Pollack wrote. "Because I can tell from personal experience, if your kid gets murdered in school and you have a problem with it, they'll just call you racist and double down."

The aim of the conference is to focus on suicide prevention and mental health in our rural areas, as well as raise awareness and start conversations in our own communities (and beyond).
The keynote speaker will be former Australian Rules Football player and commentator Wayne Schwass, who is the founder and former Chief Executive Officer of Sunrise Foundation. He is also the founder of Puka Up, a social enterprise focusing on mental health, emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention.
A range of speakers from organisations will also present at the conference, including the Centre of Rural and Remote Mental Health, Headspace, Loddon Mallee Mental Health Carers Network and Victoria Police. The conference will also have speakers from SPAN Walk, National Centre for Farmer Health, Royal Flying Doctor Service, Murray Primary Health Network, HALT and many more.
The conference has been made possible thanks to funding of $20,000 from the Federal Government's Building Better Regions fund.
To register please go to www.loddon.vic.gov.au and click on Suicide Prevention – It's Everyone's Business in the rotating banner on the front page. RSVPs close 16 August 2018.
Wandering stock on roads
Livestock on roads represent a significant danger to motorists. A few community members have recently asked me about the correct process for reporting livestock found wandering on roads.
VicRoads is the responsible authority for livestock on all highways and main arterial roads throughout the Shire. VicRoads roads are A, B and C signed roads. Examples include the Calder, Wimmera and Loddon Valley Highways, and arterial roads such as the Boort Pyramid Road, Boort Wedderburn Road, Bridgewater Maldon Road, Bendigo Pyramid Road and Bridgewater Serpentine Road.
Council is responsible for livestock wandering on local roads.
Any loose or wandering livestock should be reported immediately. Contact the VicRoads call centre on 131 170 for highways and arterial roads, or for local roads contact Council on 5494 1200.
Please ensure you can provide accurate directions to the location of the livestock.
Owners of livestock must ensure that fencing is properly maintained. If fencing is found not to be secure, then a 'Notice to Confine Livestock' may be issued. This means that the fence must be repaired within a certain time, or that livestock must be kept off that property until the fence is repaired or replaced to an adequate standard.
Reconciliation Action Plan update
Following a survey of the community in June, Loddon Shire residents have given their support for a proposed Reconciliation Action Plan.
Reconciliation Action Plans generally guide organisations in building greater awareness, understanding and respectful relationships between our wider community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Seventy-seven per cent of people surveyed voted "yes" to the Reconciliation Action Plan's development. Council will now proceed with the development of the Plan.
Eighty-nine residents completed the survey, which was available to all community members, either via online or in hard copy.
To find out more, including a breakdown of the results of the survey, visit www.loddon.vic.gov.au and go to "Current Projects" (located under the "About us" dropdown box).
If you are interested in being involved in the development of the Reconciliation Action Plan or would like further information, please contact Council's Policy and Strategy Officer Christine Walters on 5494 1239 or email cwalters@loddon.vic.gov.au
"Fee" free waste days
The next "fee" free waste disposal days are scheduled for 18 and 19 August.
"Fee" free waste days are an opportunity to dispose of up to four cubic metres of general domestic waste free of charge. This includes green waste, mixed recyclables, general household waste and white goods.
Charges still apply for tyres, bricks and concrete, mattresses and e-waste, as these items have additional third party costs associated with their disposal.
"Fee" free waste disposal will take place on Saturday 18 August at the Inglewood Transfer Station from 8am to 12pm.
On Sunday 19 August, "fee" free waste disposal will take place at Boort Landfill from 1pm to 5pm, Pyramid Hill Landfill from 8am to 12pm, Newbridge Landfill from 1pm to 5pm, Wedderburn Transfer Station from 8am to 12pm and Dingee Transfer Station from 10am to 2pm.
Remember to bring your licence or rates notice to verify your address so you can benefit from this service.
In mentioning the "fee" free waste days, did you know that in 2017/18 Council collected 2,795 tonnes of garbage, recycling and organics from its kerbside bins?

Yellow Submarine – The Fort Greene Childrens Choir (Age 7 and Under Section)
from Yellow Submarine by The Beatles Complete On Ukulele
Includes unlimited streaming of Yellow Submarine via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Our version, performed by the Children's Choir of Fort Greene, is a song by kids, for kids. Any resemblance to "Lord Of The Flies" is just a manifestation of your imagination.
Precocious. Angelic. Possessed. Beautiful. Talented. Enthusiastic.
These are just some of the adjectives thrown at the nine youngsters of the Fort Greene Children's Choir.
Lead vocals are tackled by the killer combination of Miss Isabella Serrano (7) and Master Julius Philp (7). Isabella has been singing in commercials since she was four, and her gap-toothed smile make her a favorite with the judges. Julius has a serious stage presence, and a stunning similarity to a young John Lennon. He sleeps under a Beatles poster.
They are ably supported in a fortissimo chorus by Master Luke Serrano (5), Master Vincent Philp (4), Miss Asara Milton (7), Master Citizen Milton (4), Miss Delia Costello (5), Miss Alina Bennet-Dubin (7), Miss Maya McGuire (6) & Miss Lola McGuire (4)
from Yellow Submarine, released August 14, 2012

Try one of the smaller islands in the Bahamas. (Not NAS). Some have direct flights from Florida or some you have to fly to NAS and a short cheap skip over from NAS. Its Zika free and you can find beautiful private beaches with nobody anywhere in sight. (not much to do other then beach). You will have to bring your own food.
Thanks! Looks interesting, what are the options for Shabbos?
I love checking out new places. Seeing as I'm not originally American, I would really like to do the 50 states.
I always had this idea to do with my family. Every summer 1 kid could choose any state. We fly/drive there and over a week or 2 we check out a couple of states surrounding it.
In Europe this is so much harder as you'd have to bring food wherever you go. In the US, you can get kosher food everywhere.
If people live there it must have something interesting. I happen to like going to these 'boring' places just to see how other people live.
Would love any ideas about a not cold (warm is ideal, but 60-70 degrees works also), baby friendly destination in November. Celebrating wife's and 1 year old baby's birthday in early November and we'd love to take advantage of the free flight for baby.
What might be a good idea for sightseeing, culture, and possibly beach time? We live in Southern California and we're willing to go almost anywhere. We would have about 10 days and would like to keep airfare to about $750 per person.
Lol. Yes, you are correct. I failed to mention we have been a million times and we're going for our anniversary in August.
We're hoping to do something internationally and not in Mexico (we go there quite a bit also).


Owning and using a bike is much cheaper than running a car. You'll need a bike of course, but you can pick up a second-hand one quite cheaply, sometimes even for free if someone is feeling generous. You'll also need stuff like lights, a good lock and a helmet; and from time to time new tyres and other replacement parts. But again, you can often find good deals at cycle shops or through school.
Cycling is good fun and great exercise. Even if you are not particularly sporty you can get on a bike, travel to school and burn some calories at the same time.
You can travel independently; once your parents are confident that you know what you are doing, you can cycle to all sorts of places. There are over 100km of off-road cycle paths in Swindon – get hold of a local cycle map and have a look.
Cycling can be quicker than going by car, particularly for shorter journeys around town. You can use the cycle paths and get out of the traffic jams.
Cycling is good for the environment – no fuel, no pollution and no CO2 emissions, other than what you breathe out!

Alex Fakso - Beautiful People
Compulsive Contents
Alex Fakso
Skateboarding photographers have always had a unique perspective. Their life and lot is dependent on being on the street - seeing things in ways that no one else does. Alex Fakso has made a career out of capturing people in inexplicable moments.
Black and white images of dogs fighting, men too drunk to make it home that ended up sleeping on the street and kids climbing down impossible drainage holes for whatever reason. These are all part of the repertoire of Fakso - a photographer whose CV includes Vice, Rolling Stone, 55DSL and Adidas, but also a lifetime spent out in the field, or the street in this case.
From skateboarding his photographic obsession morphed into something more multidimensional, taking in all aspects of street culture. Well-known subcultures like graffiti also feature heavily. He really gains his edge when his work has no subjects, but takes on more of a documentary style capturing impromptu moments that will never be seen again.
His photographs contain a raw energy, a necessary feature to truly depict the moment. His 2007 book Heavy Metal looks at the graffiti culture, particularly on trains, and has a cinematic quality, conveying more than what we would usually see in this kind of photography - it offers us the perspective of what the subjects might see. The immediacy and adrenaline fuelled rush of the moment is right there in our hands. The transportational effect his photographs have give them a certain menacing hold. When we turn the page we can breath again.
Fast or Die came next for Fakso and was perhaps the body of work that managed to show that he is more than someone who embeds themselves in a scene, but also equally capable of conveying various energies of the urban environment (all the way from the US to Japan).
The work is photojournalistic, capturing the ebb and flow of metropolitan life - each snapshot a moment in someone's life, full of intensity and fleeting joy. No matter the city or subject, the core of the photographs always remain fundamentally human.
Fakso doesn't come across as voyeuristic in his exploration of life on the streets. He is always on his subjects level, taking photographs as if they were his friends or as if there wasn't even a lens between them at all.
The images contain in his books are of people we've probably never met. The greatest triumph is that they seem somehow recognisable - maybe not that exact person, but the type of person they are or something that they're doing. They're new energetic and exciting, but somehow vaguely familiar.

World War II Posters
Value (2016) | $1,600 Auction – $2,400 Auction
Read Appraisal Transcript
I've been collecting World War II posters for a long time, and these are two of my favorites. I like the patriotism and the beautiful art.
APPRAISER:
Both of these were designed by rather famous illustrators during the World War II era. And the one next to you, even though it's not signed, is by a very well-known illustrator named C.C. Beall, and he's well known for a lot of his magazine covers and illustrations. And the one closer to me is signed. It's by another very highly regarded illustrator named Bradshaw Crandell. And Crandell was most known for his glamour art. He wasn't quite a pin-up artist, but he did these pictures of beautiful women. The one closest to you was not printed by the government. It was printed by a private company, the General Cable Corporation. And what that says to collectors is that because it didn't have the government bankroll behind it, fewer were printed.
And the one by Crandell I think is really important because a lot of people now are collecting items that have to do with women, and the Women's Army Corps was a great unit during the Second World War in which women would be able to participate in the war effort. So you paid $100 each, and the C.C. Beall poster has actually come up for sale before. I'd estimate that one between $600 and $900.
And the Crandell, I had a little trouble finding a comparable-- a lot of people sell reproductions-- so I put together a price based on the fame of the artist, the beauty and the patriotism of the image, and the fact that it is a very pro-woman poster, and I think at auction, conservatively, I'd estimate this one between $1,000 and $1,500.
Oh! Well, good for her.
Good for her? Good for you!

Understanding Our Appraisals
Executive producer Marsha Bemko shares her tips for getting the most out of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW.
Value can change: The value of an item is dependent upon many things, including the condition of the object itself, trends in the market for that kind of object, and the location where the item will be sold. These are just some of the reasons why the answer to the question "What's it worth?" is so often "It depends."
Note the date: Take note of the date the appraisal was recorded. This information appears in the upper left corner of the page, with the label "Appraised On." Values change over time according to market forces, so the current value of the item could be higher, lower, or the same as when our expert first appraised it.
Context is key: Listen carefully. Most of our experts will give appraisal values in context. For example, you'll often hear them say what an item is worth "at auction," or "retail," or "for insurance purposes" (replacement value). Retail prices are different from wholesale prices. Often an auctioneer will talk about what she knows best: the auction market. A shop owner will usually talk about what he knows best: the retail price he'd place on the object in his shop. And though there are no hard and fast rules, an object's auction price can often be half its retail value; yet for other objects, an auction price could be higher than retail. As a rule, however, retail and insurance/replacement values are about the same.
Verbal approximations: The values given by the experts on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW are considered "verbal approximations of value." Technically, an "appraisal" is a legal document, generally for insurance purposes, written by a qualified expert and paid for by the owner of the item. An appraisal usually involves an extensive amount of research to establish authenticity, provenance, composition, method of construction, and other important attributes of a particular object.
Opinion of value: As with all appraisals, the verbal approximations of value given at ROADSHOW events are our experts' opinions formed from their knowledge of antiques and collectibles, market trends, and other factors. Although our valuations are based on research and experience, opinions can, and sometimes do, vary among experts.
Appraiser affiliations: Finally, the affiliation of the appraiser may have changed since the appraisal was recorded. To see current contact information for an appraiser in the ROADSHOW Archive, click on the link below the appraiser's picture. Our Appraiser Index also contains a complete list of active ROADSHOW appraisers and their contact details and biographies.

Speaking after the match, Leinster Coach Michael Cheika commented: "London Irish are a quality team and you don't finish in second place in the Premiership unless you're a quality outfit.
OZO Man of the Match Isa Nacewa touched down with the opening score of the match after some smart inter-play with Shane Horgan after four minutes, but three Ryan Lamb penalties – on 10, 20 and 26 minutes pushed the visitors into a 9-5 advantage.
There were some impressive cameos for the hosts in the first half with Stephen Keogh and Sean O'Brien showing real aggression alongside the industrious Shane Jennings.
Though the hosts threatened sporadically, it was the Exiles who showed greater potency in attack and they had Steffon Armitage (34 mins) and a penalty try, which Lamb converted into the Wesley end, to thank for their 21-5 half-time lead.
Leinster made a raft of substitutions in the second half as a number of players from Ireland's Churchill Cup campaign made their first starts of the season and a Jonathan Sexton penalty on 58 minutes was just reward for a spell of Leinster pressure. Fergus McFadden made a string of daring breaks, while substitute Kevin McLaughlin also impressed in the second half.
However a late Lamb penalty restored the visitors' 16-point advantage and though the result was disappointing, it was a good physical workout ahead of the start of the Magners League campaign next weekend.

— -- Hundreds of students serenaded their beloved teacher Mr. Ellis outside his home last week to show support during his fight with an aggressive cancer.
"It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my entire life," said Nate Morrow, headmaster at the school where Ellis works. "He is one of the kindest and intentionally loving people I've ever met in my life. I think that's what really characterizes him. He's always pursuing other people in wanting to get to know them and love them."
Ben Ellis has been teaching Latin and Bible at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, since 2008. Last year, Ellis was diagnosed with cancer and began chemotherapy treatments, but that didn't stop him from showing up for his students.

"He has remained involved in the CPA community even throughout his extensive treatment," a school representative wrote to ABC News. He and his wife Shelley have five children, all attending CPA."
On Sept. 7, more than 400 faculty members and students, grades 9 through 12, gathered outside the home of Mr. Ellis.

For 30 minutes, they played instruments and sang.
"I love you," Ellis wrote in a note to his students. "I believe now more than ever that God is good, and that he is with us...."
On Sept. 10, country star Tim McGraw shared a video of Ellis peering from his window to hear his students sing.
The post received more than 20 million views on Facebook.
"I think we were honored that so many people would watch a man receive love from his students," Morrow said. "Ben is a dear man and the fact that people want to honor him, we are so grateful."
He added: "We are praying for his family, praying for his kids that are in our hallway everyday and trying to walk through this as a community."
Ellis appeared on "Good Morning America" today, revealing how grateful he was for his students' surprise.
"In that moment, I felt like I was not alone," he said.

ARTICLES COMEDY OK BOOMER, HERE IS THE BEST COMEDY OF YOUR GENERATION
OK Boomer, Here Is The Best Comedy Of Your Generation
Matt Solomon
How does one define something as broad as the comedy of the Baby Boom generation? Don't sweat it, baby, I got you, says Tony Hendra, the National Lampoon writer/editor who's probably better known as Ian Faith, the cricket bat-wielding manager of Spinal Tap.
In his curmudgeonly book Going Too Far, Hendra spews nearly 500 pages of teeny-tiny print defining what he terms "Boomer Humor." But he didn't need to bother -- he had already accomplished the job in the book's subhead: Going Too Far: The Rise and Demise of Sick, Gross, Black, Sophomoric, Weirdo, Pinko, Anarchist, Underground, Anti-Establishment Humor.
As subtitles go, Hendra's definition isn't half bad. The defining humor of the boomers was anarchist and anti-establishment, especially in contrast to the I Love Lucy and Jerry Lewis laughs that came before it. Just one generation prior, a naughty word or two could get Lenny Bruce thrown in the slammer on obscenity charges. Fast-forward ten years and George Carlin and Richard Pryor devoted entire concerts to the comic potential of the F-bomb.
Say what you will about the Boomers -- call them self-absorbed, greedy, wasteful, and unconcerned about the depleted world they're leaving to future generations -- but their comedy was pretty damn good! With Hendra's convoluted subhead as a guide, here are ComedyNerd's picks for the defining comedians, sitcoms, and comedy movies of the Baby Boom generation.
Boomer Comedians
A quick note before we go on -- we'll define funny people specifically by the era in which they had the most influence, not necessarily by born-on date. That means comics like George Carlin and Richard Pryor, who were technically born in the final gasps of the Silent Generation, will qualify here since their creative peaks made them Boomer icons. Got it? Let's go:
Ten Contenders
* George Carlin
* Richard Pryor
* Lily Tomlin
* Steve Martin
* Andy Kaufman
* Gilda Radner
* Jerry Seinfeld
* Robin Williams
* Albert Brooks
* Monty Python
Starting across the pond and then discovered in bits and pieces in America, the too-clever fools of Monty Python exemplified the silly anarchy of their time. Brooks was the cinema auteur of the Boomer comics, masterminding stupid/smart films like Lost in America and Defending Your Life. He was joined on the big screen by Martin and Williams, two breakthrough stand-ups who maintained that momentum for decades on TV and at the movies.
Seinfeld may be his generation's defining sitcom star. Gilda broke through on late night with heartbreaking, hilarious character work, while Kaufman introduced anti-comedy and surrealism to the masses. Tomlin was another brilliant character comic, from Laugh-In to her game-changing 1970s comedy specials to her Tony-winning turn in The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.
But we're going to cheat here and name co-comedy icons in the Boomer comedian category. Richard Pryor essentially redefined the form, bringing brutal honesty and aching vulnerability to the stand-up stage. If the Baby Boomers represented revolution -- at least in their younger days before they got so heavily vested in the S&P 500 -- Pryor was its comedy manifestation. No one before Pryor was so frank in discussing politics, race, and social justice.
As for George Carlin? Rarely has a stand-up comic stayed so relevant for decades, not just "popular" in the Bob Hope specials for senior citizens way but in a "he's still kicking everyone's ass" way. We especially like giving him the trophy since he'd likely throw it back in our faces -- no one relished the evisceration of his Boomer contemporaries more than Carlin.
Boomer Comedy Television
Here, we're not necessarily looking for the best or funniest television shows ('best' and 'funny' are two great qualities to have, but gold-standard sitcom Taxi, for example, doesn't feel like it captured the zeitgeist of a generation). Instead, these are our picks for the ten TV comedies that best defined a self-indulgent breed raised on sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
* Saturday Night Live
* Seinfeld
* Late Night With David Letterman
* M*A*S*H
* SCTV
* The Mary Tyler Moore Show
* Cheers
* The Cosby Show
* The Larry Sanders Show
* The Golden Girls
Golden Girls might seem like the oddball choice here, but its celebration of aging pals who still want to have it all seems … resonant. The same goes for The Cosby Show, a comedy that once seemed progressive and hilarious but has aged as poorly as many Boomers' politics.
M*A*S*H and The Mary Tyler Moore Show are both excellent comedies that could only have been made by young Boomers coming into their own. The shows' themes -- Single women can have jobs and sex! War is bad! -- seem obvious now but were revelations back in the day.
Late Night with David Letterman, SCTV, and The Larry Sanders Show were the best shows at satirizing television itself, made by the first generation that was raised on it. The medium had been around long enough to establish tropes aching to be tweaked, and all three did it brilliantly.
Cheers and Seinfeld both anchored the clean-up spot for NBC's Must See TV lineups, a slot reserved for decade-defining comedies. Seinfeld in particular was a cousin to the Letterman and Shandling shows, taking a now mature art form -- the sitcom -- and twisting it into a hilarious pretzel version of itself.
But the Boomers' defining television comedy has to be Saturday Night Live, a breakthrough show that started out as a blasphemous, defiant troublemaker, morphed into loud, sweaty, sexist, and obnoxious, and finally settled into a safer, smugger version of its younger self. Sound familiar?
Boomer Comedy Movies
And once again, not (necessarily) the best comedy movies but the ones we believe best embody all things Boomerdom.
* Monty Python and the Holy Grail
* The Graduate
* Annie Hall
* Animal House
* A Hard Day's Night
* Barbarella
* Blazing Saddles
* The Rocky Horror Picture Show
* This is Spinal Tap
* When Harry Met Sally
Barbarella is a perfect encapsulation of Boomer comedy contradictions--outspoken war critic and feminist icon Jane Fonda takes on an evil scientist in her peek-a-boob latex spacesuit. And though it may seem like an entirely different kind of movie, The Graduate also exploited the coo-coo-ca-choo of counterculture angst with the promise of weird sex.
Annie Hall is probably Woody Allen's best synthesis of lovelorn laughs with psychoanalysis and modernism; When Harry Met Sally is the same movie for Boomers who don't want to think too hard about the whole business.
Blazing Saddles tickled the funny bones of Boomers who dared to venture out for a night of risque humor; Monty Python and the Holy Grail did the same thing with an accent. The Rocky Horror Picture Show took it a step further, providing an actual, lipstick-stained taste of the emerging sexual counterculture.
A Hard Days Night celebrated the single biggest Boomer influence on popular culture in a surprisingly funny way, then This is Spinal Tap subverted the whole business of rock stardom with a National Lampoon-style slap to the ears.
But there can be no doubt about the quintessential Boomer comedy movie -- Animal House is literally a movie about an anarchic generation celebrating itself. We're smarter than the administrators and the cops and the military! We're bursting with unbridled sexual energy! We're thumbing our nose at oppressive authority! NO ONE CAN STOP US!
In addition to somehow being nostalgic for a generation's "good old days" while it was actually in the middle of them, Animal House was also unbelievably prescient. The film knew exactly what its most outrageous, nonconformist force of nature, one John "Bluto" Blutarski, was destined to become.
The filmmakers knew something we didn't.

Council for the Arts Presents 'BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play'
BROOKLYN, N.Y. – March 31, 2016 - The Council for the Arts at St. Joseph's College (SJC) and Office of Student Involvement and Leadership are pleased to announce that the acclaimed Camille A. Brown and Dancers will present excerpts from BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play on Wednesday, April 6 at 1 p.m. in the Tuohy Hall Auditorium at SJC Brooklyn. The performance will be followed by a discussion with the artists.
BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play reveals the complexity of carving out a self-defined identity as a black female in urban American culture. In a society where black women are often only portrayed in terms of their strength, resiliency or trauma, this work seeks to interrogate these narratives by representing a nuanced spectrum of black womanhood in a racially and politically charged world. With original musical compositions, Brown uses the rhythmic play of African-American dance vernacular to evoke childhood memories of self-discovery. From play to protest, the performers come into their identity from childhood innocence to girlhood awareness to maturity – all the while shaped by their environments, the bonds of sisterhood and womanhood at large.
Camille A. Brown is a prolific choreographer who has achieved multiple accolades for her daring works. Informed by her musical background as a clarinetist, she utilizes musical composition as storytelling and makes a personal claim on history through the lens of a modern black female perspective. She leads her dancers through excavations of ancestral stories, both timeless and traditional, that illustrate stories which connect history with contemporary culture.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Ramona Candy at 718.940.5351.
The Council for the Arts is a coalition of students, faculty members and staff who serve as a focal point for SJC Brooklyn's educational and community outreach programming in the arts. By expanding and integrating campus arts activities, the Council seeks to enhance the public image of the College as a cultural center in Brooklyn and aims to make arts and cultural events more accessible to its students and area neighbors.

Kin of Colombian Man Killed by Police Demand Justice
BOGOTA – The family of a Colombian man who died at the hands of police laid him to rest on Wednesday with a call for justice.
Javier Ordoñez, a 46-year-old attorney and father of two young children, perished a week ago after two police officers tased him repeatedly as he pleaded for his life in an incident caught on video that spurred days of protest.
"May the weight of the law fall on all of those who committed this injustice," Elvia Bermudez, Javier's aunt, told reporters during the funeral service at a Bogota church.
Thirteen people were killed last week in the disturbances that followed Ordoñez's death, which spread beyond Bogota to other major Colombian cities, including Medellin, Cali and Cucuta.
Bermudez said that violence was the last thing her nephew would want to see in reaction to his death.
"Javier would not have liked that," she said. "He loved everybody. I ask for peace and I ask that this serve to modify some laws that are badly made, that we change something, that we learn a lesson from what happened and that it doesn't happen again."
Colombia's defense minister, who oversees the National Police, acknowledged the responsibility of the cops for Ordoñez's death.
"Some police killed a Colombian citizen, dishonored the uniform, violated the norms of ethical behavior, ignored all of the institution's efforts at training," Carlos Holmes Trujillo said during an appearance before the Senate.
Seven officers, including the two cops who used the Taser against Ordoñez, have been suspended pending investigation and the Inspector General's Office has set a disciplinary hearing for Oct. 1.
Though the military justice system would ordinarily handle a case involving police, jurisdiction in this matter has been shifted to the civilian courts.
Authorities identified the officers who tased Ordoñez as Harby Rodriguez Dias and Juan Camilo Lloreda Cubillos.
Bogota Mayor Claudia Lopez spoke out last Friday about the killing of Ordoñez and about the way police handled the ensuing protests.
"They killed Javier Ordoñez and fired indiscriminately at citizens," she wrote on Twitter, adding that 68 people were injured and seven died due to the actions of police on Sept. 9 and eight were shot and wounded on Sept. 10.
Lopez, who is the highest police authority in Bogota, said officers had "disobeyed express and public instructions from the mayor's office."
"So who are they obeying? There's an urgent need for justice, action and reform!" the mayor said.
