I just started here at inov-8 in May, so I'm a little late to the transition game. Luckily, I had a head start and had played around with minimalist running a bit. And by played around, I mean hurt myself trying to do it the wrong way (but that's another story). I had been interested in minimalist running since running the John Kelley Road Race in CT in 2005, where I saw my first barefoot runner. I was so impressed and confused I had to look up what this was all about.
I read a lot of the research and well, it just made sense. However, I'm not the most patient of people, and competitive to a fault (I even take bowling too seriously). So, slowing down my pace and shortening my runs to transition didn't seem like an option.
Then, last year, running the John Kelley road race again, by mile 10 my knee was killing me because my worn out shoes were affecting my stride. So, with 1.6 miles left to go, I took them off. My stride felt so natural and my knee instantly felt better! I finished the race and crossed the finish line with sneakers in hand!
Now, that I've started at inov-8 – I get the chance to give it a real try! I've got my Road-X- 233s and the shoes fit perfect to my foot, so I feel like I'm really running barefoot. I promised myself I won't go more than 2.5 miles on them at about an 8:30 pace more than twice a week so that I won't hurt myself and so far the training is going great. My calves were howling my first few runs, which to be honest, bruised my ego because I thought they'd be able to handle it after years of Irish dancing up on my toes! But, I've been focusing on long warm ups and cool downs, stretching and massaging to loosen them up.
CONTEST: Transition the RIGHT way with me!
So, what do you say? Have you tried minimalist or natural running before? Are you ready to give it a go? We're giving away a pair of Road-X 255s or Road X-238s (3 arrow, 9mm differential) to someone who wants to give it a patient try with me. In the comments section below, tell us how you are going to train patiently to do it right! We'll choose a winner Thursday next week!
I've never tried minimalist running before but i've been seeing more and more people give it a try and love it. Since recently starting crossfit I've been told yet again to give minimalist shoes a try so this summer will be my barefoot summer!
Very excited to continue my progress with minimalist running. I am currently reading the book "Born to Run" and have been intrigued by home natural the tribe runs. I currently use Nike Free but I love my Innov-8 Bare XF 210s for CrossFit and recently picked up the Innov-8 Talon 212 for mountain running here in Alaska. Keep up the training, it will be fun to watch you progress.
I have heard about Inov-8 shoes a lot but never tried any. I am runner at heart but not running like I used run when I was in school. I guess new shoes might be inspiration that I need to get back to running the activity I simply adore.
I am always up to mix up my running shoes. I don't read almost at all but have been reading "Born to Run" and I am intrigued by Minimalist running shoes.
With Minimalist running I think you need a "push" of some sort to make the move, this would be my "push"
Once upon a time I ran in high school back in the early early 90s. I mostly bike now but have started crossfit which incorporates running. I'm starting to enjoy it again. I would definitely be interested in trying a more minimalist shoe.
This is perfect! I currently am training with a group of Inov8 lovers and I actually wear the X-Talon 190 to race in mudruns. I was just asking them what I should get as I need a shoe to workout in, and train in when I do my road work. I would love to try them with you!
It has saved my knee from pain in the hills. Could do with some for the roads when the weather's just too wild here in North Wales!
Coming from a CrossFit background too, I dove into trail running w/my 230's & 195's and found it to be much too soon, and not enough for road running either, I've stepped up to the Brooks PureConnects since they were what I liked about Inov8's but a lil more sole... and a friend recently told be about the 255's so I'm stoked to give them a try since I am a Inov8 fan... mine are shipping as we speak... g-luck Caitlin!
I starting "running" in January so I could get in shape for the tough mudder. It started with PT in the fall after the ortho told me that I shouldn't run due to the damage to my knee. I was lucky to find a PT who helped me believe I could run so I could continue to run in the mud obstacle course races.
I have talked to several people about minimalist shoes and how it has helped their knees, hips and back. I would like the opportunity to see if I can transition to this type of shoe and if it . And would like to know if can help me reduce my knee pain further when I run so I can put on my goals list for 2013 a 1/2 marathon.
If you knew me you would be interested to hear i hated running in high school/college (avid athlete) but now that I am older I have found a new appreciation for the stress relief and solitude and peace it brings me!
I've been trying to improve my running style for as long as I can remember... but it's not easy with big wodges of foam strapped under my feet - and shelling out for transition shoes feels like a big step before I've made my steps shorter. Chicken and egg, I guess.
I've a 30-mile ultra at the end of September, so it's a good chance to break things down, then build the mileage back up for that.
I have come back to running after an injury to my ankle that required surgery. I love, love, love the Vibram fivefingers, but know better than to go straight from a regular running shoe to a minimalist one. I am trying now to work my way down gently, to avoid further injury. It does take a lot of patience, I will say! I am currently using a shoe with a 4mm heel to toe drop, and am doing ok with it. I looked at the Innov8's online, but couldnt find any in my part of Maine, so that I could try them out. I would welcome the chance to try some and have a friend who would be transitioning at the same time!
I love Inov-8 shoes for the trail but have never tried for the road and would love too...I think they could be a hit for me!
When I was 19 years old I ran in the military almost every day for years. Now I'm 41, and the past 20 years have been frustration and injury. I eventually decided running wasn't for me anymore.
A few months ago I wanted to give it another try, and add some running to my strength training. I decided to research a little first, rather than jumping out onto the road like I've always done.
I quickly found POSE/Chi, Born to Run, and Inov-8. After 1 month of barefoot walk/jog on the treadmill and grass I purchased a pair of F-Lite 195's. Awesome!
Finished my first 5k a few weeks ago and am now training for a 10k. I'm sure Inov-8 will help me get there!
When I started trail running I got a pair of trail running shoes at the local running store. They were like having two wooden planks on the bottom of each foot. If the ball of my foot landed on a small rock the whole foot had to tilt, no flexibility. I bought a pair of MudRoc 280's based on the online description. They took a little getting used to but once I adapted the idea that my foot could move around objects and not just tilt was great.
I ran 30k races over goat trails in that pair of shoes and I'm convinced that it is far easier to let the foot move and contort to the terrain than having the lower leg muscles fight to keep your foot inline.
I've never used a minimal shoe for road work but from tail running I can see the advantages.
If you are looking for footwear with great quality, designer shoes is the way to go. They are really worth the price that's why even if they may be a little pricey for some; it is worth every penny being spent if it makes you smile.I have a website of Shoes for Knee Pain.
Running is one kind of exercise that allows us to keep our body fit, strong and healthy. But knee pain is a common concern for the runner. Because they have to suffer a most and their performance become affected by this. And if they have old knee pain or an old injury, it's going to the worst thing for them.

Battle over EU budget begins
By Constantine Kallergis - Kathimerini
February 17, 2004 17.02.2004 • 08:00
Brussels – The European Union budget proposal covering the period from 2007 to 2013 that the European Commission unveiled last Tuesday includes many changes that could result in Greece receiving a lot less money than it currently does. The extremely tough negotiations about the budget that are certain to follow will likely decrease these funds, which Greece counts on to keep its economic growth going, even further. The fundamentals of the budget are as follows. Its total size for the period under question is almost 1 trillion euros, averaging 1.14 percent of the total gross domestic product (GDP) of the 25 EU member countries or soon-to-be members. At present, the annual budget is about 100 billion euros or about 1 percent of the GDP of the current 15 member states. The annual budget will range from 133.5 billion euros in 2007 to 158.5 billion in 2013; in the latter case, net payments will be 143.1 billion. In GDP terms, the progression will not be linear: thus the 2007 budget's size will be equal to 1.15 percent of the GDP; in 2008, 1.23 percent; in 2009, 1.12 percent; in 2010, 1.08 percent; in 2011, 1.11 percent; in 2012, 1.14 percent; and in 2013, 1.15 percent. Slight rise in funding The two largest budget items, as expected, will continue to be those concerning the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the Cohesion Fund, which includes the funds to be made available through the Fourth Community Support Framework (CSFIV) program. For the Cohesion Fund, the Commission proposal calls for an increase from 39.6 billion euros in 2006, the last year of the current period, to 43.5 billion in 2007 and 50.96 billion in 2013, with net transfers somewhat less than these figures. Factoring in inflation, we see that this is not much of an increase. However, the need for cohesion funds will dramatically increase on May 1, with the accession of 10 new members, almost all of them poorer than the current 15. The need to continue the transfer of funds to the current recipients, such as Greece, Spain, the former East Germany, Portugal and even parts of Ireland, will still exist. The crucial issues, then, are what the final size of its budget will be and how the money will be distributed. Concerning the latter, we should note that the Commission proposal does not specify how the money will be divided. Such a decision is not expected soon because it depends on a series of factors that have not been finalized yet. In any case, the Commission's proposal on this issue is not expected before summer, and the final apportionment will not take place before the governments reach their own decisions. As a result, predicting what portion of the funds Greece or any other country will receive is «highly risky,» according to Brussels-based officials. A first step toward clearing up the issue will be taken next week, when the Commission will decide on which areas will be excluded from «Target 1» of the Cohesion Fund. Target 1 areas are the poorest within the EU and aid to such areas is the major source of EU funds for Greece. Currently, all 13 of Greece's regions are included in Target 1. But, with Greece's rising income relative to the EU average, four of these regions – Attica, Central Greece, Central Macedonia, and Southern Aegean – could be excluded from receiving Target 1 funds. The contributors' revolt As we already mentioned, the budget's fundamental provisions are open to revision. This is because the countries that will be called upon to contribute most of the funds, that is Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria, have already expressed their opinion that even this 1.14 percent of GDP as the budget's average size that the Commission proposes is excessive. In a joint letter – which sounds more like an ultimatum – they demand that the budget size not exceed 1 percent of the EU's GDP, although the 1.24 percent level was agreed several years ago by all member states. If the budget were to be limited to the 1 percent level, this would mean an enormous loss of funds. The major argument of the big contributors is that, due to the economic stagnation in recent years and the demands made by the Stability and Growth Pact, combined with the increasing displeasure of their voters, they are obliged to show restraint in their spending for the EU. Of course, they overlook the fact that the vast majority of funds they allocate return to them in the form of investments and imports, or procurements, from the beneficiaries, but that's another story. Germany, especially, uses the above argument continuously, explaining that, even if it wanted to, it could not be as generous as in the past because its finances will not allow it. It even goes as far as to accuse the Commission of imposing strict policies designed to reduce its deficit, in a climate of economic difficulty and painful restructuring. In so arguing, Germany conveniently forgets that it was through its pressure that the Stability and Growth Pact, and its provisions, were instituted. In any case, the Schroeder government will find it difficult to explain to voters that it will spend significant sums to help restructure the economies of other countries. France, the other major Stability and Growth Pact violator, having ensured that its main interest (the continuation of fat farmers' subsidies through the CAP) will continue, takes Germany's side, demanding cuts in funding from which, in any case, it expects little. As for the UK, it is mainly interested in preserving the annual partial reimbursements of its contributions to the budget, agreed upon in 1984, and which have acquired a totemic significance, as a kind of «victory over Europe.» The British are not, in any case, known for their generosity to other EU members and are among the most open in asking for a decisive reallocation of EU aid in favor of the new members. The other angry contributors – Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden – have simpler reasons for their position. They find the obligations that their relative prosperity entails burdensome, especially at a time of slow growth, and expect to be relieved of part of their burden. New vs old beneficiaries On the other hand, the new entrants into the EU await the funding as manna from heaven, or, to be more prosaic, as one of the largest operations of income redistribution ever. One could say that these funds constitute the main attraction to countries that are otherwise, and to varying degrees, skeptical about the EU as a political project. At the same time, the current beneficiaries claim a significant slice of the budget, arguing that a significant reduction in funding would have adverse consequences. Striking a balance between new and old members will be especially important, especially regarding Cohesion funding. At the time, the balance is heavily in favor of the new members. The Commission has expressed reservations, insisting on the need to provide significant funds to Greece, Spain and Portugal; however, it is not the Commission that will have the decisive say in the debate, but the European Council. Aggravating things further for current beneficiaries is the fact that many members see the emerging conflict over the budget as an opportunity to «slay the monster of Brussels.» Budget negotiations will be further complicated by the concurrent haggling over the new European Constitution. Germany, for example, has already made it clear that accommodating behavior from countries such as Spain on the issue of the constitution, and the relative strength of each country's vote, is a prerequisite for its own consent on budgetary matters. The early indications are that both Spain and Poland – the two recalcitrants in the debate on the Constitution – are beginning to understand the implications of their conduct very well and are prepared to move away from their steadfastly negative position they took at the Intergovernmental Conference last Fall. It is far from certain that the ensuing horse trading will produce any positive results from Greece, which, in the past, has benefited from Spain's tough diplomatic tactics on behalf of the Mediterranean countries. The presence of the Eastern Europeans complicates the game. Whatever the outcome of the negotiations, one thing is certain: Far stricter conditions will be attached to the use of the funds in order to prevent any kind of misspending. Beneficiaries will be obliged to apply draconian auditing systems to ensure the correct and transparent use of the fund. To Greece, this constitutes both a danger and an opportunity: a danger of losing funds and an opportunity to improve the effectiveness of the state administration.

Does your dog display irritating behaviors?
Does he have problems with aggression?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, Bark Busters can help.
I have been successfully training dogs all my life including more than five years with Bark Busters in the Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Cary regions. During this time I have helped hundreds of dogs overcome virtually every type of behavioral issue from basic obedience to severe aggression.
Here are comments from some of my clients.
"I would recommend Jerry to everyone who has a dog. He is a great teacher and trainer. Jerry is amazing."
"I highly recommend Jerry to all the people that I meet in my pet sitting business on a day to day basis. It is without hesitation that I state my dog has transformed into a well behaved dog because of Jerry."
"Jerry was a master at showing us how to communicate with and rehabilitate our dog. He has helped us create a healthy pack both at home and away."
"We recommend Bark Busters. We love the service. Jerry is a fantastic trainer!!!"
The Bark Busters methods have effectively trained over 1 million dogs worldwide and have succeeded where other methods have failed.
In home dog training. I come to your home where most of the obedience issues occur. Your dog is most comfortable and receptive to training in his own environment.
Personalized dog and puppy training - There is no "one size fits all" dog or puppy training class. I implement a personalized one-on-one lesson plan based on your dog's particular issues and your goals.

You will learn how to use vocal communication to get your dog to focus on you and respond to your directions. By reinforcing our training techniques 10 to 15 minutes a day, you will soon become your dog's pack leader.

With me, Bark Busters is not a job - it's a calling and what I love to do!
I can help you have a rich, full, healthy and relaxing relationship with your dog. You will learn to trust each other and communicate in a way you never thought possible.
It's easy, it's fun and most of all, Bark Busters dog training is effective.

The Elementary School () is a 1991 Czechoslovak comedy-drama film directed by Jan Svěrák. The screenplay comes from the pen of his father Zdeněk Svěrák. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1991 and is considered to belong among the best Czechoslovak films ever. A prequel, Barefoot, was released in 2017.

The film is set in the early post-war period, in a suburban elementary school in Prague's vicinity. A war hero is hired as a teacher, and asked to discipline an unruly class of boys. He soon earns their respect, but he is threatened with termination over his reputed sexual relationship with two schoolgirls.

Plot
Shortly after World War II, in 1945–46, in one of the suburbs of Prague (the film was shot in Michle), Eda Souček attends a boys' elementary school where he belongs to a class with a complete lack of discipline. After the class drives their teacher Maxová to a mental breakdown during one of her classes, the schoolmaster has to implement special measures. Authoritative Igor Hnízdo, who is said to be a great war hero, is hired as their new teacher. He immediately introduces corporal punishment, which, as he explains, is not normally allowed, but the school has received an exception from the Ministry of Education, especially for their class. Whenever he is not satisfied with the boys' behavior, Hnízdo asks them to flex their arms and hits their palms several times with a flexible switch.

Despite his strict methods, the boys soon become charmed by the man. They love his battlefront stories and the fact that he is always armed and wears a uniform. Eda sees him as the very opposite of his own father, whom he considers to be too cowardly. Hnízdo makes the same positive impression on the townspeople (including Eda's mother). Nevertheless, his persona is also surrounded by many controversies. He is a notorious womanizer and is said to have a special weakness for young girls. His war heroism is also disputed as he is unable to provide any accurate information about his military service. There is even an unconfirmed rumor that Hnízdo's role during the war was to guard a herd of goats. But the boys from his class refuse to believe it and even fight those who are spreading these rumors.

Hnízdo's reputation suffers after he is accused of having a sexual relationship with local twins who attend a girls school in the same area. He is forced to leave because this is not the first time he has been involved in a similar scandal. The formerly unmanageable boys begin to defend Hnízdo and call for his return. The accusation is finally withdrawn and Hnízdo is reinstalled as their teacher. He states that the way how they dealt with the accusation is a proof that their relationship is now based on mutual trust and physical punishments are no longer required and breaks his switch in half.

Production
The original story was written by Zdeněk Svěrák. He used his own experiences both as a pupil of a similar school and as a former teacher. This is the first of the films created by the successful father screenwriter - son director duo. The others include Akumulátor I. (1993), Kolja (1996), Tmavomodrý svět (2000) and Vratné lahve (2007). It was also the first non-documentary film by Jan Svěrák. Obecná škola is also notable because it includes one of the last roles for two prominent Czech actors Rudolf Hrušínský (his last big screen film) and Petr Čepek (appeared in two more films before his death). The film was also the first appearance of Jan Tříska in a Czech film since his emigration to the United States in 1977.

Charles L. Cooke (September 3, 1891 – December 25, 1958), known as Doc Cook, was an American jazz bandleader and arranger. Cook was a Doctor of Music, awarded by the Chicago Musical College in 1926.

Born in Louisville, he first worked as a composer and arranger in Detroit before moving to Chicago around 1910. Cook became resident leader of the orchestra at Paddy Harmon's Dreamland Ballroom in Chicago from 1922 to 1927, acting as conductor and musical director.

The ensemble recorded under several names, such as Cookie's Gingersnaps, Doc Cook and his 14 Doctors of Syncopation, and Doc Cook's Dreamland Orchestra. Among those who played in Cook's band were Freddie Keppard, Jimmie Noone, Johnny St. Cyr, Zutty Singleton, , Andrew Hilaire, and Luis Russell. After 1927 Cook's orchestra played in Chicago at the Municipal Pier and the White City Ballroom.

In 1930, Cook moved to New York City and worked as an arranger for Radio City Music Hall and RKO, working there into the 1940s. On Broadway, he had a number of important orchestration credits, including The Hot Mikado (1939) and the first U.S. production of The Boy Friend in collaboration with Ted Royal in 1954. A proponent of ragtime, he also worked frequently with Eubie Blake, supplying the arrangements for the 1952 revival of Shuffle Along.

Recordings
Cook recorded six sides for Gennett in early 1924, then as Cookie's Gingersnaps, recorded 4 sides for OKeh in June 1926. He then signed to Columbia where he recorded 14 sides between July 1926 through March 1928.

At Infosys, maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance is not a matter of mere form, but of substance. In continuation of our efforts in that direction, we have provided a synopsis of some of your rights and responsibilities as a shareholder on our website,
www.infosys.com. We encourage you to visit our website and read the document. We hope that the document will give you appropriate guidance, though in brief, on any questions regarding your rights as a shareholder.
Dematerialization of shares and liquidity
Infosys shares are tradable compulsorily in electronic form and, through Karvy Computershare Private Limited, Registrars and Share Transfer Agents, we have established connectivity with both the depositories, that is, National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL). The International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) allotted to our shares under the Depository System is INE009A01021.
As at March 31, 2010, 99.70% of our shares were held in dematerialized form and the rest in physical form.
We were the first company in India to pay a one-time custodial fee of Rs. 44.43 lakh to NSDL. Consequently, our shareholders do not have to pay depository participants, the custodial fee charged by NSDL on their holding.
Shares held in demat and physical mode as at March 31, 2010 are as follows :
% to total equity
shareholders shares
Demat mode
NSDL 3,08,588 56,71,61,055 98.83
CDSL 72,540 49,66,107 0.87
Total 3,81,128 57,21,27,162 99.70
Physical mode 588 16,98,030 0.30
Grand total 3,81,716 57,38,25,192 100.00
To enable us to serve our investors better, we request shareholders whose shares are in physical mode to dematerialize shares and to update their bank accounts with the respective depository participants.
Secretarial Audit
A qualified practicing Company Secretary has carried out secretarial audit every quarter to reconcile the total admitted capital with National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) and the total issued and listed capital. The audit confirms that the total issued / paid up capital is in agreement with the aggregate total number of shares in physical form and the total number of dematerialized shares held with NSDL and CDSL.
Nature of complaints
Dividend / Bonus related
We attended to most of the investors' grievances / correspondences within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of such grievances. The exceptions have been for cases constrained by disputes or legal impediments.
Designated e-mail address for investor services
In terms of Clause 47(f) of the Listing Agreement, the designated e-mail address for investor complaints is investors@infosys.com
There are certain pending cases related to disputes over title to shares in which we had been made a party. However, these cases are not material in nature.

Helio Motorized Bicycles was formed in 2009 and is the premiere motorized gas bike company in the USA. What separates our business from the rest is that we actually assemble our bikes. Most other companies sell kits and parts. This is great for the do-it-yourself home mechanic. However, if you aren't experienced in mechanics it can be frustrating,costly and time consuming. There are many parts in the motor kits that are simply trash. Through tons of experience, we have thrown away what parts are cheap and faulty. Helio specializes in assembly (we have built hundreds), testing and tuning. We have engineered custom made parts for our Motorized Bicycles. These parts, increase dependability,quality and performance. Through trial and error, we have decided to concentrate on the 4 stroke gas motor instead of the 2 stroke. Why you ask? Go to for a write up on 2 vs. 4 stroke bicycle engines. Since we shifted to the 4 stroke, Helio has been able to concentrate on building bikes with these motors. In particular Helio has discovered ways to use both the Honda GXH50 and the smaller GX35. These motors, when mated to an American made Gearbox produce a reliable power plant. Our gas bikes get 150-250mpg and will cruise a comfortable 35mph! Helio is constantly trying to better our product with new parts and models. Don't settle on a motorized bike that you constantly have to tinker with and ride a Helio!

A: json['empresas'] apparently returns a value of type dynamic.
I assume you just used final json = jsonDecode(input);
Here, jsonDecode has a return type of dynamic. So Flutter lets you call ['empresas'] on that object which may or may not exist.
Now, List.from requires the parameter to be of type Iterable, which dynamic is not. Therefore, an error is thrown.
As you know that the result of json['empresas'] is a List, you could simply cast it:
final empresas = (json['empresas'] as List).map((e) => Empresas.fromJson(e)).toList();

or even better (because you know the structure of the json):
final empresas = (json['empresas'] as List<Map<String, dynamic>>)
    .map<Empresas>((e) => Empresas.fromJson(e))
    .toList();

(I added the <Empresas> type to the map function, so the return type is List<Empresas> instead of List<dynamic>)

It had hardly been a month into our relationship post our dating and things between us had begun withering away. But I chose to Ignore it.
Ignore !!!…Why you ask ?
Honestly, I not only chose to Ignore the Signs but also chose to forgive him every time! We women tend to love against all odds, and at times think we can fix his flaws with the passage of time. Our logic, "No one's perfect Logic….makes us bend and bend a little more until we breakdown! Why not give this man another chance who claims to love me?
My Love will fix one day fix everything , right?" It then becomes a waiting game, and we find ourselves being far more forgiving than we've ever imagined. That unwavering ability to turn the other cheek time and time again runs painfully deep.
Let's Understand Why Do We Choose to IGNORE THE SIGNS???
Most often we want to believe our own perception and not the truth. Well looking back I realized I was not ready to See the Truth leave alone facing It!
Unwilling to Accept – It Is Over !
I was willing to be proved wrong! And therefore gave him several chances to prove that my guess about his Unfaithful Character was UNTRUE!!! I wanted to save this relationship and believe that all was perfect I was over judging or over reacting! And as a matter of fact my hunch about his behaviour, his words, his denials, his evasive nature was all correct!!! Women instinct and sixth sense is never wrong! We only fool ourselves when we choose not to see the SIGN OR TRUST OUR GUT!!!
However time had come for me to See THE RED FLAGS that I had Ignored All along!!!
Here's the Sign You May Want to be Aware of Before It's too Late! Wherever you are in your relationship…Married or Dating …LOOK FOR THE SIGNS…THE RED FLAGS!
HIS EVASIVE NATURE…He text You Now and vanishes for few days!
HOT & COLD BLOW…He Loves you passionately only to return when he wants you!
HE LIES OFF & ON …You know he is lying and he is blaming you for over reacting!
HE FAILS TO KEEP HIS PROMISES…He promises often to make up for the lost time or events and breaks it every time with another lame excuse!
HE TAKES MORE INTEREST IN YOUR FRIENDS THAN USUAL…He is over inquisitive in your colleagues or girlfriends than he is into You!
HE IS ALWAYS TEXTING LATE TILL NIGHT…And makes you believe he is at work at an odd hour or is being a shoulder to a friend in the midst of midnight!
HE DISCONNECTS YOUR CALL OR FAILS TO RETURN YOUR CALLS For Long Hours his number is busy or he is avoiding your calls probably because he has another babe in his arms or arms length!
HE INVESTS LEAST QUALITY OR QUANTITY TIME WITH YOU…And you assume his weekends are at work when he is off the work & worksite!
HE WEARS FLASHY CLOTHES OR SMELLS DIFFERENT…And you recognize the difference but choose to overlook or ignore as his new style!
HE CHOOSES TO CONTROL YOU WHILE HE HAS NO BOUNDARIES UPON HIM…He sets rules for you to live by… Who to meet where not to go what not to do how to dress and even your outdoor activities while he plays in the Hay!
HE TAKES A TRIP IN HAWAII …Holidaying with another chic while you wait upon him to return with lipstick on his collar!
HE USES YOU THAN CHERISHES YOU …He may use you financially or fulfill his physical needs when it sees desirable to him. He needs you for his needs and don't mistake yourself to be HIS ONLY ONE!
HE CHOOSES TO TELL HALF TRUTH OR HIDES FACTS …He is afraid to reveal all of himself his place his family his work his salary his friends etc . And you await to be shocked in time to come…his darkside and untold unresolved relationships!
YOU DESERVE A BETTER PARTNER FOR LIFE AND LOVE IS NO MIND GAME!
Same goes for Women too…So men watch the Sign…Do You Smell Something…?


Five crystal balls were suspended in front of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli, and a faint mysterious light emanated from them. The light was not very strong, but it was immensely dazzling. The pair were very clear about the amazing value of these five crystal balls!
For these artifacts, even the top forces in the North Territory would scramble and fight to the death! Although it was not easy to train a war troop dispatcher, with these items, it would be much easier. Moreover, if they really succeeded in doing so, the gain would be tremendous!
Mu Chen stared closely at the five crystal balls, licked his lips, then looked at Zhantai Liuli. He saw that she also could barely conceal her excitement.
"Approach them with your mind power," the Sky Array Emperor smiled and said. "The method of cultivating mind power cannot be done forcibly. If the degree of compatibility is not high, even if you attain the technique of cultivating mind power, you would not be successful. Moreover, you might even end up dealing damage to your mind power. So, if you are not destined, you could only return from the trip empty-handed."
Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli's hearts jumped. They thought secretly to themselves that the conditions for becoming a war troop dispatcher were indeed harsh, and cultivating the Technique of Mind Power was extremely dangerous! Moreover, the technique even required a degree of compatibility.
However, it was apparent that the two of them had little say in the matter, so they could only take a deep breath at once, before they gradually closed their eyes and calmed their minds. As they did so, a gush of invisible mind power surged into the space.
Their sights darkened, the mind power surged. Mu Chen sensed the five lights that had appeared before him. The colors were different, but all of them emitted a mysterious glow. Within these five clusters of light, the brightest spot was right in the center.
Clearly, that crystal ball was the Technique of Mind Power that was left behind by the Sky Array Emperor, which was the most complete. The light of the other four crystal balls was dimmer and hence, was not comparable to the one in the middle.
However, this was not surprising to Mu Chen. After all, the other four crystal spheres that contained the Technique of Mind Power, according to the emperor's words, were also accidental acquisitions, not his exclusive possessions.
Mu Chen's mind power paused for a long time, floating just outside the five crystal spheres. It then went straight to the crystal sphere in the middle. Mu Chen's mind power skimmed over the area, then quickly approached the crystal ball, slowly wrapping it up.
Once Mu Chen's mind power was entangled with it, the crystal ball remained motionless. It then began to glow a little brighter, which was clearly enough! Thus, Mu Chen's attempt to obtain the complete Technique of Mind Power from the Sky Array Emperor was an utter failure.
This situation felt as if a basin of cold water had fallen down on Mu Chen's head, leaving his heart utterly frozen. The feeling that there was no degree of compatibility was beyond frustrating.
Although he was frustrated, Mu Chen was not a person who could not easily let go or admit defeat. He smiled bitterly, allowing his mind power to retreat. Since discovering that the complete Technique of Mind Power did not suit him, his only other option was to try another one.
After Mu Chen's mind power had retreated, he could sense another hesitant stream of mind power approaching. This mind power obviously belonged to Zhantai Liuli, as she was also aware of the importance of this crystal ball.
Just as Zhantai Liuli's mind power was entangled with that crystal ball, Mu Chen suddenly saw a strong burst of light. Then, the crystal ball, which remained motionless when entangled with Mu Chen's mind power, now shone brilliantly, as if it had become a small sun. Its light was dazzling.
When the crystal ball burst out with a strong light, Zhantai Liuli was incredibly excited. In fact, she could not keep calm at all. She opened her eyes gleefully, looking at the glimmering crystal ball before her.
"I... Did I succeed?" Zhantai Liuli murmured, her eyes turning a little red.
Hers was an expression of extreme excitement. Her spiritual talent was not high, and if she had not been using the enormous resources of the Divine Pavilion for years, she would not have been able to attain even the rank of Fourth Grade Sovereign. Thus, she knew that, if she wanted to be truly powerful, since the road of spiritual cultivation did not suit her, the only option for her was becoming a war troop dispatcher!
She couldn't imagine how desperate she would be, should this last road be blocked. The Divine Pavilion destroyed her family, then brought her back forcefully to the Divine Pavilion, all because of her talent for fighting intent.
If she could not become a war troop dispatcher, then perhaps the Divine Pavilion would not value her anymore. Should that happen, her and her family would be in grave danger. Fortunately, the heavens were merciful, and her last road finally opened to her.
Mu Chen also opened his eyes at this time. He looked at the excited Zhantai Liuli, whose eyes had turned red. This slightly startled him. He immediately remained silent, as it seemed that there were also some unknown stories about her background. She clearly needed this Technique of Mind Power more than him!
At this point, the slightest regret in Mu Chen's heart also disappeared. Although being a war troop dispatcher was good, for Mu Chen, it was not the only way to live.
Thus, even if he really could not become a war troop dispatcher, he would not feel despondent. Moreover, even if the Sky Array Emperor's Technique of Mind Power was not suitable for him, that did not mean that other techniques were not suitable for him. After all, this Great Thousand World was endlessly vast, and although the Techniques of cultivating Mind Power were quite rare, they were not limited to only those belonging to the Sky Array Emperor.
"It seems like you truly have an affinity for me." The Sky Array Emperor smiled. As he glanced at Zhantai Liuli, his expression became more gentle.
"Thank you so much, Master!" Zhantai Liuli exclaimed, her eyes still red.
With a wave of his palm, the crystal ball swept out. Then, in a flash of light, it rushed into Zhantai Liuli's forehead, only to disappear quickly.
When the crystal ball was fully integrated into Zhantai Liuli's head, the latter's delicate body was also slightly shaken. Her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, as she had apparently just become aware of some additional things that appeared in her mind.
"I have sealed it in your mind, so you can look it up at any time. There are many experiences that I have learned from my own practice, which you can now also learn from. I can't guide you anymore, so you need to go on your own way from now on," the Sky Array Emperor said gently.
Zhantai Liuli bowed respectfully. "Thank you so much, Teacher."
She was smart enough to change how she addressed the Sky Array Emperor. To some extent, she was the successor of the latter, as she had obtained his inheritance.
"Haha." When he heard how she addressed him, the Sky Array Emperor could not help but laugh. "Well, I didn't expect to be able to get a good successor on my deathbed! I truly hope that my legacy can be carried forward by your hands."
Zhantai Liuli nodded her head meekly, then immediately looked at Mu Chen with a bit of embarrassment and awkwardness, because the latter was still empty-handed.
The Sky Array Emperor also looked at Mu Chen. "There are four crystal balls left," he said. "You may try to see if you are fated with them. They were what I obtained in the ancient times, so don't think that they are shoddy items I randomly picked up! The hidden techniques in them have high reputations. In fact, were they not incomplete, their value would be far more than the Technique of Mind Power that I left behind."
As soon as Mu Chen heard this, he looked at the remaining four crystal balls with astonishment. He thought that they were just mediocre artifacts, never imagining that they had such origins!
"Slightly flawed and incomplete, is it…"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered, then he laughed. Throughout the years, there were many incomplete things that he had obtained, including the Great Solar Undying Body, which he had cultivated. As such, he felt more affinity with incomplete objects.
"Then, I'll try again." Mu Chen closed his eyes again, his mind power sweeping out, then twining itself around the four crystal balls that floated forward.
Zhantai Liuli and the Sky Array Emperor were both looking at Mu Chen. They could feel the latter's thoughts as they wrapped around the other four crystal balls.
They watched and waited quietly. Their silence lasted less than a minute, before their gazes suddenly became solemn. They suddenly saw, at the far left of the four crystal balls, there was a crystal ball that burst into a dazzling light.
The light of that crystal ball showed a dark color, but in that black light, it was as if there was lightning flashing, and a faint thunderous roar reverberated within it as well. When the Sky Array Emperor saw that Mu Chen had such a high degree of compatibility with the crystal ball, his eyes flashed, revealing a touch of amazement.
Mu Chen opened his eyes at this moment, then stared at the glowing crystal ball with some amazement. With a wave of his palm, the crystal ball came and fell slowly into his hands.
Mu Chen hesitated slightly, then took hold of the crystal ball, as its light penetrated into his body. His body shook violently, as if something had entered into it, along with the rumble of thunder and lightning.
The thunder echoed. Within that roar of thunder, there was an ancient script, like a thunderbolt, that surfaced in Mu Chen's mind.

La crisis sino-vietnamita fue una crisis diplomática que puso en tensión las relaciones entre la República Popular de China y la República Socialista de Vietnam. Iniciada en mayo de 2014 debido a unos actos de la corporación estatal china China National Offshore Oil, la cual colocó una plataforma petrolífera, llamada Haiyang Shiyou 981 o simplemente Haiyang-981 (conocida por los vietnamitas como Hải Dương - 981), cerca de las islas Paracel, unas islas situadas en el mar de la China que pertenecen a Vietnam, pero que las reclama la República Popular de China.

Hubo muchos movimientos y protestas vietnamitas que intentaron prevenir la colocación de la plataforma, la cual se posicionó el 2 de mayo y se previó que estaría funcional hasta el 15 de septiembre de 2014 con una posición fija para la extracción de petróleo en esa zona, que la República Popular de China considera parte de su ZEE.

Aunque la Administración de Seguridad Marítima de China, hizo un anuncio oficial desde sus oficinas principales en la isla de Hainan donde se explicaba que las labores de la plataforma Haiyang-981 durarían desde el 2 de mayo hasta el 15 de agosto de 2014, el 15 de julio, con la crisis aún palpitante y la sucesión de protestas anti-chinas en Vietnam, el gobierno de la RP de China anunció que la labor de la plataforma había finalizado su labor con un mes de antelación según la previsión y por tanto la retiraría.

Posteriormente, el enfrentamiento es considerado por algunos analistas como el acontecimiento más grave en las disputas territoriales entre los dos países desde los enfrentamientos en marzo de 1988 por el Arrecife Johnson del Sur en las Islas Spratly, en esta ocupación china del arrecife vietnamita murieron más de 70 soldados vietnamitas.

Contexto
Los dos países mantienen un prolongado conflicto acerca de sus zonas económicas exclusivas en el mar de la China Meridional. Mientras que Vietnam se considera titular de una ZEE con una extensión de 200 millas náuticas desde sus costas (según la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Derecho del Mar ), China reivindica la casi totalidad de este mar, justificando así su reclamación de las islas Paracel y Spratly, lo que coloca a ambos países en oposición sobre una zona inmensa, que dispone tanto de hidrocarburos como de recursos pesqueros.

Los antecedentes de este conflicto se pueden remontar mucho tiempo atrás, de hecho, el antagonismo político entre China y Vietnam ya les condujo en 1979 a un breve conflicto armado.

Disputas territoriales en el mar de la China
El mar de la China meridional es la zona del mundo donde probablemente existen más conflictos sobre la posesión y reclamación de islas, islotes y arrecifes que los distintos estados reclaman como propios argumentando posesiones históricas o la inclusión de dichos territorios en sus ZEEs.

La República Popular de China es el estado que con diferencia más diplomacia y demostraciones de fuerza usa para defender sus argumentos de posesión de la mayoría de islas que hay en este mar, pues en muchas ocasiones estas islas están más cercanas a estos estado, pero la RP de China ve grandes ventajas políticas, económicas y geográficas en la posesión de estas islas, pues le daría el dominio casi exclusivo de todo el mar de la china meridional.

Disputas entre China y Vietnam
En ese contexto de múltiples disputas, la RP de China y la RS de Vietnam tienen mutuamente reclamos y posesiones sobre territorios que pertenecen (o son reclamados) por el otro estado.

Esta situación ha llevado a algunos enfrentamientos en esos lugares entre las dos repúblicas.

El primer enfrentamiento entre ellos fue la batalla de las islas Paracel, librada en 1974 entre la República Popular de China y la entonces República de Vietnam (Vietnam del Sur). Este enfrentamiento contó con 4 buques militares por bando, en el caso del bando chino, sus buques fueron apoyados por dos submarinos, que fueron muy determinantes a la hora de decantar la victoria para la Armada del Ejército Popular de Liberación. Tras la batalla, la RP de China tomó el control de las islas Paracel, desde entonces reivindicadas por Vietnam.

El siguiente enfrentamiento se daría 14 años después, en 1988, cuando el 14 de marzo fuerzas vietnamitas y chinas se enfrentaron en el arrecife Johnson del Sur. El enfrentamiento contó por el bando vietnamita con un barco de desembarco de tanques, el HQ-505, y dos barcos de desembarco adicionales, el HQ-604 y el HQ-605. Estos barcos se disponían a desembarcar en el arrecife para hacer ondear la bandera de Vietnam, pues estas islas en disputa, que no tenían control de ningún estado habían sido fuertemente administradas por la República de Vietnam primero, y más tarde por la República Socialista de Vietnam, único estado que había desembarcado normalmente tropas y civiles en las islas.

El 13 de marzo, la fragata de la Armada del EPL Nanchong, bajo el mando de Cheng Weiwen detecta la lancha vietnamita HQ-604 en dirección al arrecife Johnson del Sur, por lo que al día siguiente, las fuerzas chinas, que se contaban en tres fragatas, la adelantada Nanchong apoyada por las fragatas Xiangtan y Yingtan se enfrentan a las fuerzas de desembarco vietnamitas, las cuales salen derrotadas. Esto propulsó la administración china sobre siete islas del archipiélago Spratly.

Desde entonces no se producen enfrentamientos importantes hasta esta crisis, resumiéndose las acciones en demostraciones de fuerza sin llegar al combate.

Relaciones China-Vietnam

Las relaciones diplomáticas entre la República Popular de China y la República Socialista de Vietnam nunca han sido muy fluidas. En la época de la Guerra Fría llegaron a tener un enfrentamiento armado por las distintas corrientes comunistas que seguía cada país (China maoísta y Vietnam soviética).

Enfrentamiento entre China y Vietnam

La invasión china de Vietnam de 1979 fue un enfrentamiento propiciado por el enfrentamiento interno de los países comunistas.

La recién unificada República Socialista de Vietnam tenía una corriente política cercana a la Unión Soviética, lo cual le hacía aliado de esta. Por otro lado, la República Popular de China había roto relaciones con la URSS desarrollando su propia corriente política dentro del comunismo en la que intentaba aglutinar a los estados comunistas de Asia, como Corea del Norte o la Kampuchea Democrática, esta última propiciará el enfrentamiento, ya que la República Socialista de Vietnam invadirá la Kampuchea Democrática para acabar con el genocidio camboyano propiciado por el régimen de los Jemeres Rojos dirigidos por Pol Pot, lo cual sentó mal a la RP de China, pues Pol Pot era aliado de su gobierno. Tras esta acción, China intentó una invasión armada de un Vietnam azotado por su reciente guerra civil, aun así, la RS de Vietnam demostró ser un enemigo capaz y frenó a los chinos en la misma frontera tras perder China [oficialmente] más de 20.000 soldados.

Relaciones diplomáticas tras la guerra

Con el paso de los años, las relaciones diplomáticas entre los dos estados se han normalizado, pero estas siguen siendo de estricta cordialidad, no existiendo unas buenas relaciones de alianza, pues excluyendo la guerra siguen teniendo enfrentamientos por las posesiones en el mar de la China.

Con la caída de la URSS y la salida de Vietnam de Camboya a comienzos de la década de los 90, los dos estados decidieron comenzar a mejorar poco a poco sus relaciones con el fin de aliviar tensiones y volver a niveles de amistad de la década de los 60, cuando China ofreció 1 billón de yuanes a Vietnam [del Norte] tras el incidente del Golfo de Tonkin.

A partir de 2002, con la visita de Jiang Zemin a Vietnam las relaciones económicas se vieron impulsadas fuertemente entre ambos países, convirtiéndose en los ejes principales de la conocida actualmente como "red del bambú". Aunque esto no ha detenido las tensiones sobre las posesiones marítimas.

Prospección petrolífera china
En mayo de 2014, la plataforma petrolífera china de prospección Haiyang Shiyou 981 (fletada por la compañía estatal China National Offshore Oil Corporation) penetró en la ZEE reivindicada por Vietnam. El lugar de prospección se situó a 120 millas náuticas de las costas vietnamitas, y a 30 millas de las islas Paracel.

El 7 de mayo, Vietnam exige el cese de la prospección y el regreso de la plataforma a China, lo cual fue rechazado por parte china. Embarcaciones vietnamitas fueron enviadas a las cercanías de la plataforma, sin tomarla al asalto. China desplegó sus propias embarcaciones.

Disturbios antichinos en Vietnam
En protesta por estos hechos tuvieron lugar manifestaciones promovidas por el gobierno en Vietnam, así como huelgas en fábricas de compañías chinas. En estas protestas, inicialmente pacíficas, acabaron con el incendio de varias empresas chinas, así como taiwanesas y surcoreanas. Dos ciudadanos chinos murieron, y el 18 de mayo, China evacuó a 3000 de sus expatriados en Vietnam.

Otras manifestaciones, pacíficas, fueron organizadas por ciudadanos vietnamitas en varios lugares del mundo.

Combates
Durante la crisis por la plataforma Haiyang-981 ocurrieron varios enfrentamientos entre embarcaciones vietnamitas y chinas.

Algunos de estos enfrentamientos fueron encontronazos entre embarcaciones de ambas nacionalidades, otras fueron expulsiones de embarcaciones pesqueras o de ocio de las zonas en las que se encontraban por parte de buques pertenecientes a la Guardia Costera del otro estado.

En ningún caso se ha de entender estos encontronazos como batallas navales. Los únicos buques militares que se desplegaron fueron 6 buques de la Armada de la República Popular China, los cuales formaban parte de la escolta de la plataforma petrolífera. Así mismo, los 8 aviones contabilizados como parte de las fuerzas en el conflicto, fueron aviones de reconocimiento que hicieron reconomicimientos rutinarios sobre la zona.

Naufragio de un arrastrero vietnamita
El 26 de mayo, un nuevo incidente agravó la crisis, al ser embestido y hundido un barco de pesca vietnamita por un barco de guerra chino en las proximidades de la plataforma, sin producirse víctimas.

Retirada de la plataforma
El 16 de julio, la plataforma petrolífera china y sus buques de escolta abandonaron las aguas territoriales vietnamitas.

Reacciones diplomáticas

A lo largo de la crisis se sucedieron bastantes actos diplomáticos tanto de los estados enfrentados como de otros estados que hicieron declaraciones sobre el conflicto.

República Popular de China

  RP de China: El 7 de mayo, China dijo que el funcionamiento de su plataforma de perforación Haiyang-981 cerca de las islas Xisha en el mar de la China es legal e instó a Vietnam para dejar de molestar a las actividades de exploración de China en sus aguas territoriales.
  RP de China: El 11 de mayo, parte de China estaba "profundamente sorprendida y conmocionada" por los intentos intensivos de Vietnam que desde el 2 de mayo intentaba interrumpir las actividades normales de perforación de la compañía china en las aguas de las islas Xisha de China.
  RP de China: El 8 de junio, el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de China publicó una nota de prensa acerca de la plataforma de perforación Haiyang Shiyou 981 en las islas Xisha en su página web bajo el nombre: El funcionamiento de la plataforma de perforación HYSY 981:. Provocación de Vietnam y la posición de China.

República Socialista de Vietnam

  Vietnam: El portavoz del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Vietnam Lê Hải Bình instó en una conferencia el 15 de mayo a China de retirar la plataforma petrolera Haiyang-981 y todos sus buques y aeronaves de las aguas de Vietnam y no repetir acciones similares".
  Vietnam: El 31 de mayo, el primer ministro vietnamita, Nguyễn Tấn Dũng, apela a una "voz más fuerte" de los EE. UU. contra China después de los enfrentamientos entre buques guardacostas cerca de la plataforma situada en aguas disputadas.
Esta es la única acción pidiendo un mediador al conflicto que tuvo lugar durante toda la crisis.

Reacciones internacionales

 : El Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos dijo que estaba monitoreando los acontecimientos en Vietnam de cerca, y pidió moderación a ambas partes. El secretario de Estado John Kerry dijo que Estados Unidos está "profundamente preocupado" de que China hubiese colocado una plataforma petrolera en un área del mar de la China Meridional también reclamado por Vietnam, y agregó que la medida era "provocadora" y "agresiva". El 12 de mayo, durante una reunión con el presidente Nguyễn Tấn Dũng, en Vietnam, el senador Ben Cardin y otros miembros del Comité de Relaciones Exteriores del Senado denunció acciones recientes de barcos chinos en el mar de la China Meridional como "tácticas agresivas" y "profundamente preocupantes".
 : La Alta representante de la Unión para Asuntos Exteriores y Política de Seguridad y Vicepresidenta de la Comisión Europea, Federica Mogherini, emitió un comunicado el 8 de mayo que expresaba la preocupación de la Unión Europea en relación con los incidentes recientes entre China y Vietnam sobre el tema de la plataforma de perforación Haiyang Shiyou 981. Mencionó que "las acciones unilaterales podrían afectar el entorno de seguridad en la región", e instó a China y Vietnam para resolver controversias de conformidad con el derecho internacional y para mantener la libertad de navegación y seguridad.
 : El 22 de mayo de 2014 desde el Palacio de Malacañang, el presidente filipino Benigno Aquino III, y el primer ministro de Vietnam, Nguyễn Tấn Dũng, "comparten la profunda preocupación por la situación extremadamente peligrosa que está tomando la crisis a causa de las acciones de China, las cuales violan el derecho internacional".
  República de China: Rechazó todas las reclamaciones rivales de las islas Paracel en medio de la disputa, repitiendo su posición de que todas las Paracel, Spratly, Zhongsha y Pratas pertenecen a la República de China, junto con "sus aguas circundantes y respectivo de los fondos marinos y subsuelo", y que las reclamaciones tanto de Vietnam como de la República Popular de China son ilegítimas, todo ello en un comunicado difundido por el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, que añadió "...No hay duda de que la República de China tiene la soberanía sobre los archipiélagos y aguas."

Incident: Damage to property
City: Rincon
The complainant reported that she hit a manhole that was sticking out of the ground. The road appeared to be caved in a little around a manhole. Upon the car hitting it, both air bags deployed, the transmission dropped and the windshield cracked. The victim was given a case report number.
Aug. 4
Incident: Burglary/Criminal trespass
City: Springfield
The complainant brought someone to look at a house he was trying to sell. Upon arrival he noticed someone had punched holes through a section of siding and sprayed some red paint on the side of the house. When they opened the front door the inside was greatly destroyed. A majority of the glass fixtures and two windows were broken. The sheet rock was damaged and several pieces of furniture had been destroyed. Several cabinet doors and the glass in them were damaged. Words were written on the wall. The detective was notified and crime scene responded to process the scene.
Incident: Battery
When the complainant went to feed his father's dogs, he noticed several power tools and other items placed near the door, as if someone was about to load them up. He proceeded to feed the animals. However, as he bent down to clean the area, someone struck him on the side of his face near his right eye with an unknown object. The blow stunned him for a short time and afterwards he attempted to chase the subject through the back of his father's property toward the river. He was advised a report would be on file.
Incident: Criminal trespass
The pit bull terrier of the complainant was found dead after two former animal control officers called the office and reported that the dog had warm water and was panting heavily. When the complainant arrived home the two individuals left quickly. He found the dog's water dish empty and the garden hose had been dragged from his house out to where the dog was located. The complainant believed that his dog was soaked with the water hose and that this led to his death. The officer contacted animal control and warrants for the two former employees may be obtained for cruelty to animals.
Incident: Leaving the scene of accident/aggressive driving/aggravated assault
The complainant spotted his repossessed dump truck traveling east on Midland Road. He then pulled into the westbound lane beside the truck and told the driver to pull over. The offender then crossed over the line and collided with the complainant's passenger side rear panel. This caused the complainant's car to turn sideways in Midland Road.
