Many people believe that expressing anger serves no purpose, and it's best left unexpressed. However, people with this perspective typically end up feeling resentful of their loved ones. They never express their anger, so it just simmers unproductively. The resentment builds, and the relationship deteriorates.
In some cases, anger is better left unexpressed. It's wrong to express anger in a way that is physically or emotionally harmful towards the person with whom you are angry, but if you know how to communicate in a healthy manner, then expressing your anger can lead to a more fulfilling, honest and authentic relationship.
What many people don't know is that the idea of not going to bed angry actually comes from the Bible. In Ephesians 4:26, it states; Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.
Ephesians 4 is clear: resolve any conflict before drifting into REM.
Going to bed angry has a profound effect on your brain and subconscious. A study in the Journal of Neuroscience revealed that going to sleep after experiencing anger (or any negative emotion) helps the negative emotion to lodge permanently in the brain. The brain activity that occurs while we sleep "protects" the anger and permanently embeds it our emotions.
If you have a fight with your spouse, don't sleep it off. Instead, talk it out and choose to resolve the conflict – even if you must agree to disagree, let go of the negative emotions so that you can rest.
I'm one of those people who feels a little rough around the edges if I haven't had enough sleep. Rising early has always been my Achilles heel.
And then something happened that changed everything. I moved from the East to West coast, and the move completely reset my circadian rhythm. Suddenly, I had a difficult time sleeping in later than five in the morning.
I became one of those type-A personalities who's up before the rest of the world while even the sun is still sleeping. I awoke to think, pray, meditate, write, work, and I must say that it was exhilarating. There is something about the morning hours that hold a peacefulness that's absent throughout the rest of the day. It was a tranquility that I was truly enjoying.
But then my husband questioned my sanity. For years, we had been an eccentric pair of night owls working in perfect synchrony and reveling in the late night hours – up at 2 AM watching movies and giggling in the dark like children.
My husband's clock didn't reset. Our schedules became less and less aligned until he finally said "You have to stop waking up so early." Setting my clock forward a mere hour completely threw my circadian rhythm off. It seems like such a small sliver of time, but it felt like a giant leap. I started to drag throughout the day. I was tired, exhausted even.
My behavior became increasingly robotic. I was sleep-walking and going through the motions.
I moved my wake-up time up an inch – 7:30 AM.
I've learned that when you don't get enough sleep, everything else in your life falls out of sync. Your productivity declines, your mental acuity flies out the door, and you aren't able to process information very well so you make poor decisions.
And so, this is what happens when your life becomes burdensome, and your life gets weary. Everything declines.
Your body needs sleep. You need sleep to detoxify your mind, and you need sleep to rejuvenate your cells and properly manage your immune system… you need sleep.
Your body is a machine that is fearfully made, but you must give it rest. Yeshua offers us rest. He offers to take away our burdens. Yeshua came for people who don't have enough hours in the day and whose fringe hours are infringed upon by the cares of life. He came for people rocked with insomnia because of apprehension about the future – these are the people that Yeshua wants to come to Him for rest.
But this rest has nothing to do with the circadian rhythm. His rest properly syncs our spiritual rhythm. When our spiritual rhythm is on the right track, the rest of our life falls into place – our spiritual quality of life is enhanced. In the same way that you need sleep to enhance your physical quality of life, the same thing happens in your spiritual life when you don't get enough rest… so rest in Yeshua.

Life can get so busy especially, once the warmer weather hits us here in Boston. I enjoy taking a small amount of time to get myself back and set a reboot; once I start to realize I need to slow down a bit. Let's face it, things are much different once the years go by. In between having kids, houses, work and so it's easy for the these to get in the way. That is why trying these five ways you realize you need to slow down ways especially with "Constant Comment" Tea ; it can help slow you down; when life starts getting hectic.
One thing I don't do enough. Instead of going back to sleep after bringing A to school each morning; I wake up 30 minutes before having to get him ready each day and focus on self-care or what I didn't finish the day before.
This is so helpful. It's easy to get distracted when working from home or even working in an office and thinking about things that need to be done. When you actually write down what is needed to do each day, you won't get distracted and actually do what is needed.
There are so many poses you can choose from just for relaxation. It helps to bring your stress levels down when you overthink things.
This should be on anyone's list. Getting more sleep means you wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. Plus I always feel like I'm not being rushed when starting the day.
Interested in trying out the Bigelow Tea offerings? Hover over the photo to click through to Walmart.com for purchasing.
Bigelow tea has always by my favorite when wanting to wind down. It's always been a part of my life growing up. My mom would always need her tea every night before bed but never understood it. Over time, even as an adult, I kept using Bigelow and so glad I have. "Constant Comment" Tea is my favorite one. In between having the right spice but also a fruit type flavor I can just sit back, relax for those few moments I have without thinking about things that I haven't finished. It's just the perfect👌 combination of flavor and #CuriouslyDifferent. It's #ImpossibleToForget. Plus no one in my house knows about it so I get to enjoy it after purchasing. It's not your normal tea combo it's #MyConstantComment.
What is one of your favorite ways to slow down? Be sure to stop by Walmart to pick up Bigelow "Constant Comment" Tea!
You can find it in the tea and coffee aisle.
I don't drink tea…at least not hot tea but I love the Bigelow company and prefer to buy their products for my family members who like tea. I know that my mom loves their Earl Grey tea.
Sounds like a plan. I loved this post.
I've been starting to implement a few of these things to help me stay on top of everything. I was starting to feel like making myself a cup of tea was a waste of time, but I'm glad to see that you don't think so!
I wish I did yoga three times a week! New goal! Thanks for sharing, I also need to try this tea!
I so very much need a slow down! lol It is so important to take time to have care for yourself, especially when caring for others.
This is a great reminder that we all need to learn to slow down.


Given the choice of fruit or cherry scones, we went for the former. What arrived was a large, soft scone with a light dusting of icing sugar. It was rather 'cakey' for our liking and might have benefitted from being warmed.
A small ramekin of golden Rodda's clotted cream in a good quantity for the two open halves of scone.
A small supply of raspberry jam served in a glass jar.
A small ceramic teapot of Twinings bagged tea. A usual, we chose our favouite Lapsang Souchong which was good. They also have a selection of loose leaf teas available as well.
Capabilitea Tea Rooms describe themselves as 'shabby chic'. Their mis-matched crockery was clean and all of the staff were very friendly. We especially enjoyed reading the sign explaining why they call people 'duck' in these parts, but were glad they didn't, as we waddled out of the door.

Across The Universe: On Tour And On Stage by Andy Neill
British reporters and press photographers in the early 1960s had it made. The Beatles, the biggest pop phenomenon of the decade, were the hardest-working foursome around, eager to offer interviews and pose for pictures amid the endless rounds of recording, performance and travelling. It's a far cry from the carefully managed PR machines that followed later on.
Some members of the press corps were better placed than others. Among the lucky few was Don Short, the Daily Mirror journalist who first encountered The Beatles in June 1963 and became enchanted with The Beatles' music and personalities. He was the first to use the word Beatlemania in print, and was given a carte blanche to report on The Beatles, often working closely with The Beatles and their management in a range of exclusives.
Don Short was at Shea Stadium in 1965. He was at the Bel Air house when The Beatles were experimenting with LSD. He became a close friend to each member, being mentioned in Lennon's A Spaniard In The Works, was given a mantra by George Harrison on the road to Rishikesh, and was on the group's chartered plane in Portland, Oregon as the engines failed and he and Lennon scrabbled to write final goodbyes. But Short's biggest scoop came in April 1970 and was headlined "Paul quits The Beatles", in which he broke the news that the world didn't want to hear.
Short provides the introduction to Andy Neill's fascinating book Across The Universe: On Tour And On Stage. The book chronicles The Beatles' live performances from their first days to their final tour dates of 1966, accompanied by photographs from the Daily Mirror archives.
And what a treasure trove Neill presents. In the 1960s the Daily Mirror was Britain's highest-selling tabloid, which was quick to capitalise on The Beatles' ability to shift copies by the million.
Many of the photographs in Across The Universe have never been seen before. Others were first published in The Beatles Files by Andy Davis, a 1998 book now out of print. Some come from the Sunday tabloid The People, the Daily Herald from Glasgow, and from the agency Syndication International.
Photographic collections of The Beatles are nothing new, with collections by Dezo Hoffman, Paul Saltzman and Robert Freeman having published celebrated collections of the group. Of the British newspapers that were so well-placed to report on the story of the 60s, however, perhaps only the Daily Mail assembled a comparable archive.
Starting with September 1963, Andy Neill's book chronicles The Beatles' stage appearances day by day, with accounts and photographs from the most significant dates. It's all here: reproductions of contemporary press reports, backstage shots, newspaper cartoons and numerous photographs of Beatlemaniacs worshipping their idols. Shots of the Cavern, autograph books, ticket stubs, images from inside EMI Studios, and various playbills and tickets adorn the pages and provide a dimension other Beatles histories cannot.
Among the press clippings are reports from the all-night seige at London airport as fans waited for The Beatles to return from America in 1964; the stormy reception in the Philippines where the group was jostled at the airport; and a fascinating interview from November 1966 headlined 'At the crossroads', in which The Beatles denied split rumours, anticipated their musical progress, and dismissed those clamouring for more live shows.
The photographs aren't just of The Beatles' public side. Several are taken from the side or rear of the stage as they played, giving a unique perspective of the group at work. Elsewhere the group are shown preparing for shows, boarding planes, or in cars being driven from hotel to show to hotel to show, always looking immaculately turned out.
There are also plenty of pictures of The Beatles in America, both on and off duty, giving a small insight into the maelstrom in which they lived at their peak. They're pictured with Shirley Temple and her daughter, with French chanteuse Sylvie Vartan in Paris, and with Brit actress Julie Christie. Everyone wanted a piece of The Beatles; it's a wonder they ever had a moment of privacy.
Few accounts of The Beatles' career in the 1960s can compare with Mark Lewisohn's The Complete Beatles Chronicle, the exhaustive guide to the minutiae of their public activities. Andy Neill's book isn't an in-depth substitute, but it does give a fascinating visual documentary of their development in the public eye. Even Beatles obsessives who think they've seen it all will find much here to savour.

Deepak Lalan
Associate Director and Blockchain Practice Lead, Accenture in India
The Three Dimensions of a Thrilling Blockchain Career
What drives me to lead digital transformations, innovate with emerging technologies and stay ahead of the curve? My insatiable curiosity and passion for technology.
I kickstarted my Accenture adventure in 2003 and over the last 16 years, I have capitalized every opportunity to work across all Accenture businesses—Strategy, Consulting, Digital, Technology and Operations.
Was there ever a dull moment?
Absolutely not! When you work on so many cool projects with global teams and cutting-edge technologies, you are always on your toes and motivated to blaze new paths.
Steering game-changing digital transformations
In 2005, when digital transformations were beginning to become a reality, I led my first large-scale digital transformation for a large bank. My team helped build its online presence, revolutionize user experience and meet the evolving needs of its customers by integrating features such as electronic billing and payment, online brokerage and account aggregation.
The roller-coaster ride of helping businesses stay on top of their game continued.
In 2015, teaming with one of India's largest national banks, we digitized its retail banking system. In just three months, we led the whirlwind process of strategy development, sub-brand creation, branch design, technology integration, branch build, and helped the bank revolutionize the way it serves customers.
Setting the pace of innovation on fire
As my career evolved, I kept an open mind and experimented with the new and unexpected to find a path that was most fulfilling and exciting.
The thrill of innovating with cloud, data, artificial intelligence and more recently, blockchain, turned out to be rocket fuel for my career.
Undoubtedly, blockchain is one of the hottest innovations of the 21st century, given the ripple effect it has across sectors. Since the future belongs to information and data, I feel blockchain will play a huge role because of the trust and transparency it brings.
We are at the forefront of blockchain innovation. With the ID2020 Alliance, we are applying blockchain to provide verifiable digital identities to the 1.1 billion people that currently cannot prove who they are. Blockchain apps for identity can be combined with AI to monitor the environmental conditions in a refugee camp or community health information and produce insights to guide care and support.
Three-dimensional career approach for blockchain enthusiasts
For those looking to establish a career in blockchain, there are three dimensions to consider:
The tech dimension. Think algorithms, consensus, smart contracts, cryptography, distributed computing and so on. If this appeals to you, the role of a blockchain developer may be right. This person knows how to set up nodes, submit a blockchain transaction and trigger Smart Contract functions from a Web page. You may also consider the role of a blockchain architect who understands the pro and cons of each DLT codebase and designs blockchain solutions and its periphery.
The business or social dimension. If you are driven by how technology can be used to make a business process more efficient or drive social change, the business or functional side of blockchain allows you to always think of practical, real-world applications. Even if you are a "non-techy", you will understand the technology and apply it to solve a business or social problem.
The change-management or enablement dimension. With blockchain, you know its use case and benefits. But you can't overlook a very critical aspect—that blockchain is all about the ecosystem. The change-management dimension allows you to bring multiple parties together and ensure everyone is in a win-win situation. It's where various parties come together to sign legal documents.
Are you ready to enter the exciting world of blockchain?
What sets Accenture apart is our industry knowledge, vendor-agnostic approach, great connections with the academia such as MIT and a strong focus on training and development.
Join a company where learning and reinventing will never stop. Gear up for the post-digital era and ride the next waves of innovation and growth. Find your fit with us today.

The other most important computer magazine from Argentina in the '80s (along wiht K64) , Programación Popular (Popular Programming) had a more educational approach.
Starting with issue 22 the name was shortened to simply Programación.
The magazine's mascot was SOFTI and in the beginning it accompanied the program listings in both illustrations and descriptions, as time passed, it was relegated to the reader mail section, named SOFTI Club.


After getting our home ducts sealed with Aeroseal, our heating and cooling bills went down by 33%, amazing. Don't wait any longer.
Had Aeroseal installed at our entire apartment complex, saved over $10k in energy just in 2014. If you live in Arizona this is a must do to prevent heating and cooling loss.
I have been using Attic Expert of Arizona for my place of business for over 3 years. They are only company i can trust for our Aeroseal Installation. We used them for HVAC, now duct sealing and can't be happier.

Andrew Grote
Andreas Grote (1710-88), known in England as Andrew Grote, was a merchant and founding partner in the bank Prescott, Grote, Culverden & Hollingsworth.
Andreas Grote was born on 15 April 1710 in the city of Bremen, in what is now north west Germany. He was the son of Otto Grote, a Dutch merchant, and Gesche Mullershausen.
He moved to London in 1731 to establish himself as a merchant, bringing with him a small amount of capital and some introductions to recognised English merchants.
In England, Grote settled in Leadenhall Street in the City of London. With Paul Kruger, a fellow merchant originally from Hamburg, he formed Kruger & Grote, an agency business trading in various commodities with cities in Holland and Germany. He became very successful, and biographical accounts noted that, despite his foreign origins, he became 'in all respects the representative of the English merchant of the period.'
Banking career
In 1766, together with George Prescott, William Culverden and John Hollingworth, he formed the banking partnership Prescott, Grote, Culverden & Hollingworth. The latter two men seem to have been inactive partners, with the bulk of responsibility for managing the business falling upon Prescott and Grote. The bank initially traded from premises in Threadneedle Street, close to the Bank of England. A decade later it moved to larger premises in Sun Court, 62 Threadneedle Street.
Andrew Grote remained a partner in the bank until his death in 1788. By that time his son Joseph had already joined him in the partnership, and in fact the Grote name remained part of the bank until 1891, as successive generations of his family became partners.
In 1745 Andrew Grote married Ann Adams of Oxfordshire. They had one son, Joseph Grote, who himself went on to become a successful merchant and a partner in the bank. Ann died in 1757, leaving Andrew a considerable fortune.
Three years later Andrew Grote married Mary Anne Culverden, the sister of William Culverden, one of his fellow partners in the bank. They had 3 sons and 6 daughters together. Mary Ann died in 1787.
Andrew Grote died on 8 December 1788 at Blackheath. He was buried in the church where he had been a member and elder, the Dutch Church at Austin Friars, London.

Q: Changing Angular 5 publish url at runtime I want to build an Angular 5 app once, and then publish it to different addresses, for example to:

*

*https://sub1.example.com/myapp1

*https://sub2.example.com/myapp2

*https://sub3.example.com/myapp3
By default, Angular will assume that all files are hosted in / so when i access index.html, it will load scripts such as https://sub1.example.com/vendor.bundle.js which will 404 because it's deploy to /myapp1/vendor.bundle.js (to make it slightly more complex, I'm actually loading the files from a CDN from a separate domain, but I don't think this affects the question):
Angular 5 allows me to run:
ng build --deploy-url "https://example.com/myapp1"

This will modify the inline.bundle.js and set the following:
/******/    // __webpack_public_path__
/******/    __webpack_require__.p = "https://example.com/myapp1";

This in turn will make sure that scripts are loaded from the proper path.
However, this is a compile time switch, and I want to configure this either at deploy-time or at runtime.
I've read various suggestions, such as:

*

*How do I set the deployUrl at runtime in Angular - This does not seem to work any more. The referenced variable __webpack_public_path__ does not exist anywhere in the code after I run ng build.

*Setting server url dynamically during runtime in AngularJs app using value
during-runtime-in-angularjs-app-using-value - This only applies to Angular .

My current workaround is to update the variable __webpack_require__.p at deploy-time, but this is extremly error-prone since this variable at this point is minimized to something like "n.p" and relying on an internal implementation detail.
What would be the proper approach to do this?

A: Setting the deployUrl setting in .angular-cli.json, or passing in the --deploy-url to the build command does 2 things. It makes sure that the script includes in the index.html file are using that as the base, and it sets a variable that makes sure that webpack adds that  as the "base path" for any lazy loaded modules. That much we agree on I guess, and figuring out where to load the scripts from in the html is pretty simple. However, setting the path that webpack should use is a bit more tricky... The value used by webpack is not named  __webpack_public_path__ as mentioned in the linked suggestion and in the documentation.
You even mention the solution yourself when you say that setting the --deploy-url causes the following
__webpack_require__.p = "https://example.com/myapp1";

So, instead of setting the __webpack_public_path__ at runtime, as mentioned explained in the documentation, you have to set the __webpack_require__.p property.
The easiest way to do this is to just set it in the app.module.ts file. Doing something like this should work in your scenario
index.html
<script>
  window.config = { basePath: 'https://sub1.example.com/myapp1' }
</script>`

app.module.ts
// imports etc...

declare var __webpack_require__: any;
declare var config;
__webpack_require__.p = window.config.basePath;

@NgModule({})
...

This will  make sure that the __webpack_require__.p property is set to the configured value on load.
In this case I just added the configured value as a config variable on the window object, but you can fetch it from wherever you want. And to keep it simple, I just assumed the value would always be there... You might want to have a fallback in case the config object isn't available, or the basePath property isn't set.

Justia Environmental Law Opinion Summaries
Ex parte Kaleen Rugs, Inc.
Mandamus petitions before the Alabama Supreme Court presented a question of whether the Cherokee Circuit Court and the Etowah Circuit Court (collectively, "the trial courts") could properly exercise personal jurisdiction over the petitioners, out-of-state companies (collectively, the defendants) in actions filed against them by the Water Works and Sewer Board of the Town of Centre ("Centre Water") and the Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden ("Gadsden Water"). Centre Water and Gadsden Water alleged the defendants discharged toxic chemicals into industrial wastewater from their plants in Georgia, which subsequently contaminated Centre Water's and Gadsden Water's downstream water sources in Alabama. After moving unsuccessfully in the trial courts to have the actions against them dismissed, the defendants filed petitions for writs of mandamus seeking orders from the Alabama Supreme Court directing the trial courts to dismiss the actions against them based on a lack of personal jurisdiction. The Supreme Court consolidated all the petitions for the purpose of issuing one opinion. Because Indian Summer, Kaleen, and Milliken made a prima facie showing that the trial courts lacked specific personal jurisdiction and Centre Water and Gadsden Water failed to produce any evidence to contradict that showing, the trial courts should have granted their motions to dismiss. Indian Summer, Kaleen, and Milliken have, therefore, demonstrated a clear legal right to the relief sought –- dismissal of Gadsden Water's and Centre Water's complaints against them –- and the petitions for a writ of mandamus in case nos. 1170887, 1171197, and 1171199 were granted. The Supreme Court concluded the trial courts could exercise specific personal jurisdiction over the remaining defendants, and that the remaining defendants did not demonstrated a clear legal right to relief at this stage.

Indian River County v. Department of Transportation
The County and other parties filed a complaint in the district court claiming that DOT exceeded its authority under 26 U.S.C. 142(m)(1)(A) when it allocated $1.15 billion in Private Activity Bond (PABs) to fund Phase II of the AAF Project. The complaint also alleged that the allocation violated 26 U.S.C. 147(f), and challenged the adequacy of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared by the FRA under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The DC Circuit affirmed the district court's judgment, holding that the County's interest were within the zone of interests protected by section 142 and thus the complaint raised claims that were cognizable under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). However, the court held that DOT permissibly and reasonably determined that the Project qualified for tax-exempt PAB financing under section 142(m), and that the EIS for the Project did not violate NEPA.

Citizens for Positive Growth & Preservation v. City of Sacramento
Defendant the City of Sacramento (City) approved and adopted a 2035 General Plan in March 2015. At the same time, the City certified the environmental impact report (EIR) for the 2035 General Plan in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Plaintiff Citizens for Positive Growth & Preservation (Citizens) filed a petition for writ of mandate and injunctive relief and a complaint for declaratory relief (petition) against the City and its city council seeking to set aside both administrative actions. The trial court denied the petition, upholding both actions; Citizens appealed, challenging the validity of the 2035 General Plan and the EIR. It contends the Court of Appeal should vacate the trial court's ruling regarding the 2035 General Plan and order the City to rescind its approval thereof because a sentence in the introductory paragraph violated and conflicted with state planning laws. Citizens also argued the Court should do the same as to the EIR because the City's analyses pertaining to traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, air quality, cyclist safety, and the "no project" alternative failed to comply with CEQA, and the City was required to recirculate the EIR after releasing substantial supplemental changes shortly before the city council's public hearing. Finding no merit in Citizens's arguments, the Court of Appeal affirmed. View "Citizens for Positive Growth & Preservation v. City of Sacramento" on Justia Law

Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC v. Willowood, LLC
Syngenta sued Willowood, a Hong Kong company that sells fungicide to its Oregon-based affiliate, for infringement of patents directed to a fungicide compound and its manufacturing processes and infringement of copyrights for detailed product labels that provide directions for use, storage, and disposal, plus first-aid instructions and environmental, physical, and chemical hazard warnings. The district court dismissed the copyright claims as precluded by the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 135 and granted-in-part Syngenta's summary judgment motion with respect to patent infringement. After a jury trial, the court entered a defense judgment on the patent claims. The Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part, reversed-in-part, and vacated in part. The district court did not provide an adequate analysis of the potential conflict between FIFRA and the Copyright Act. Because FIFRA does not, on its face, require a "me-too" registrant to copy the label of a registered product, FIFRA only conflicts with the Copyright Act to the extent that some particular element of Syngenta's label is both protected under copyright doctrines and necessary for the expedited approval of Willowood's generic pesticide. The court erred by imposing a single-entity requirement on the performance of a patented process under 35 U.S.C. 271(g); practicing a patented process abroad does not trigger liability under section 271(g) in the same manner that practicing a patented process domestically does under section 271(a).

Holden v. City of San Diego
Stephen Taylor was convicted by jury of numerous sex offenses against his adopted daughters, Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2. In total, the jury convicted him on 12 counts. The trial court sentenced him to prison for a one-year determinate term and an aggregate indeterminate term of 165 years to life. On appeal, Taylor argued the trial court erred by admitting expert testimony on child sexual abuse accommodation syndrome, and instructing the jurors that they could use that evidence to evaluate the victims' credibility. He also claimed the court made several sentencing errors: (1) by imposing two indeterminate terms under the former "One Strike" law for two offenses that occurred during a single occasion; (2) by imposing multiple punishments for four counts of aggravated sexual assault and four counts of lewd acts arising from the same facts; and (3) by imposing a restitution fine and court operations and facilities fees without an ability to pay hearing. The Court of Appeal agreed that the court erred by imposing multiple punishments on four counts of aggravated sexual assault (counts 1 through 4) and four counts of forcible lewd acts (counts 5 through 8) that arose from the same conduct. Accordingly, Taylor's sentence was stayed on counts 5 through 8. The Court also agreed the court should hold an ability to pay hearing, at least as to the court operations and facilities fees. Therefore, the Court reversed the order imposing those fees and remanded for a hearing on Taylor's ability to pay them. As to the restitution fine, Taylor forfeited his contention. The Court otherwise rejected Taylor's arguments and affirmed. View "Holden v. City of San Diego" on Justia Law

People v. Wetle
Commercial crab traps must have a destruction device so that trapped wildlife can escape if the trap is lost or abandoned. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife was patrolling Monterey Bay and saw crab trap buoys in the Soquel Canyon State Marine Conservation Area, where crab trapping is prohibited. Each of 29 traps was attached to a buoy bearing Wetle's license number and had a tag bearing the Dungeness crab permit number belonging to Wetles. In some pulled traps, the bait jar was placed to prevent the destruction device from operating. The crew put a note to call the warden in a trap and returned it to the water. Bond, the skipper of the fishing vessel owned by Wetle's father and Wetle's wife, responded. Bond had previously been convicted of three felonies and five misdemeanors. Wetle was convicted under California Code of Regulations 14 section 632(a)(1)(C) and section 180.2 (Fish and Game Code 12000(a)). The appellate division of the Monterey County Superior Court affirmed. The court of appeal reversed, noting Wetle's evidence that he was out of the country at the time the traps were placed. The trial court committed prejudicial instructional error. It did not instruct jurors that they must find that the defendant himself used the defective trap, which is an element of the offense View "People v. Wetle" on Justia Law

Sauk Prairie Conservation Alliance v. United States Department of the Interior
Years of heavy industrial use at Wisconsin's Badger Army Ammunition Plant contaminated the soil and groundwater with asbestos, lead paint, PCBs, and oil. Operations ceased in 1975. Remediation has yielded thousands of acres suitable for recreational use. The National Park Service donated 3,000 acres to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. An environmental group sued to halt three activities at the Sauk Prairie Recreation Area: dog training for hunting, off-road motorcycle riding, and helicopter drills by the Wisconsin National Guard citing the Property and Administrative Services Act, which controls deeds issued through the Federal Land to Parks Program, 40 U.S.C. 550. The Act requires the government to enforce the terms of its deeds and that the land be used for recreational purposes. The relevant deeds require that Wisconsin use the park for its originally intended purposes. Dog training and motorcycle riding were not mentioned in Wisconsin's initial application. The group also argued that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321, required an environmental impact statement. The Seventh Circuit affirmed summary judgment. Dog training and off-road motorcycle riding were not mentioned in the application, but are recreational uses. While helicopter training is not recreational, the Service included an explicit deed provision reserving the right to continue the flights, as authorized by the Property Act. The Service reasonably concluded that its approval of dog training and motorcycle riding fell within a NEPA categorical exclusion for minor amendments to an existing plan. The Service was not required to prepare an environmental impact statement for helicopter training because it had no authority to discontinue the flights. View "Sauk Prairie Conservation Alliance v.

Sturgell v. Department of Fish and Wildlife
December 6, 2019 by Justia
Sturgell was a commercial fisher for 48 years. He held Dungeness crab permits in Washington, Oregon, and California. During the 2012–2013 season, Sturgell landed 203,045 pounds of crab in California. Sturgell's taking of crab in California before the delayed opening of the Oregon crab fishery meant he was required to wait until January 30, 2013, before taking, possessing, or landing that crab in Oregon. He could take crab in Washington on January 24. On January 29, Sturgell arrived in Astoria, Oregon to offload the crabs he had taken in Washington. He began to offload crabs at 6:15 p.m and offloaded 38,295 pounds; the balance of the 64,694 total offload was completed by 4:00 a.m. on January 30. A "Receiving Ticket," indicating the "date of landing" as January 29, 2013, was signed by Sturgell and the buyer. The buyer later stated that this was "in error" as the ticket was actually written, "between 4[:00] a.m. and 5[:00] a.m. on January 30, 2013, after the offload was completed." Pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 8043, a landing receipt "shall be completed at the time of the receipt, purchase, or transfer of fish." Sturgell's permit was revoked. The trial court ordered the permit reinstated. The court of appeal dismissed the agency's appeal as moot, with instructions that the trial court vacate its decision. Sturgill had retired and sold his permit for over $500,000. The Department approved the transfer. View "Sturgell v. Department of Fish and Wildlife" on Justia Law

Wise v. Department of Transportation
Plaintiffs filed suit against federal and state agencies in a dispute over the widening of Interstate Highway 630, alleging violations of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., and NEPA's implementing regulations, 40 C.F.R. 1500-1508. Determining that it had jurisdiction over this interlocutory appeal, the Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of injunctive relief, holding that plaintiffs were unlikely to succeed on the merits of their claims. In this case, plaintiffs failed to show that the FHWA's determination that the project qualifies for a categorical exclusion from NEPA requirements because the project takes place entirely within the existing operational right-of-way was arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion or otherwise not in accordance with law.

United Artists Theater Circuit, Inc. v. Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Region
November 28, 2019 by Justia
Under Water Code section 13304, a prior owner of property may be required to participate in the cleanup of wastes discharged from its property that resulted in groundwater contamination if that person "caused or permitted" the discharge. The San Francisco Regional Board named UATC in a cleanup order addressing waste discharges from dry cleaning operations at a shopping center owned by UATC in the 1960s and 1970s. The court of appeal reversed, in favor of the Board. The knowledge component of the statutory element of "permitted" focuses on the landlord's awareness of a risk of discharge: a prior owner may be named in a section 13304 cleanup order upon a showing the owner knew or should have known that a lessee's activity created a reasonable possibility of a discharge of wastes into waters of the state that could create or threaten to create a condition of pollution or nuisance. The court rejected UATC's argument that its liability was discharged in a 2000 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding. Even assuming the Regional Board's entitlement to a cleanup order was a claim within the meaning of bankruptcy law, it was not discharged in UATC's bankruptcy proceeding because it did not arise before confirmation of reorganization.

7 SCI Hacks to Make Your Life Easier
While there are amazing products you can buy to make your life easier when you have a spinal cord injury,
Finding an Accessible Campus
When you're finally ready to go back to school, you can find a college that will work. However, finding an accessible college campus may take some searching. Many colleges and universities call themselves "accessible," but their version of accessibility can be spotty. Many old college campuses simply cannot be made accessible without extensive investment.
But don't let this sway your decision to go back to school. You can attend the college of your dreams, even Harvard. Brooke Ellison, a vent-dependent quadriplegic, attended this old campus, which added accessibility features throughout her college experience thanks to the ADA. The ADA requires that all public universities be made accessible.
Private colleges and universities, meanwhile, are not required to be accessible, but many still put accessibility measures in place. Most private colleges realize making their campus accessible is a wise decision for all.
When searching for an accessible college, you'll want to visit in-person to make sure it meets your accessibility standards. Do a thorough overview of the campus before making your final decision. Ask for a tour and look at everything: building entrances, classrooms and desks, bathrooms, the sidewalks and curb-cuts on the campus, the accessibility of the sporting arenas, the cafeteria, the library—any place on-campus you plan on frequenting.
While you tour colleges, if you see anything that needs to be fixed accessibility-wise, don't hesitate to let the school know. Most colleges respond positively to this feedback. They are always looking for outside perspectives, and they usually strive to be as accessible as possible.
If you're looking for a list of the most accessible college campuses in the US, check out the link below. And remember, most public colleges across this country are more accessible than not. So, do your college search and know that, thanks to the ADA, finding a college that works for your new life is a realistic possibility.

Whenever I need some rapid funds, I basically provide out my very simple and fairly cheap digital digital camera, go out doorways and acquire images.

For the next four months, I used 5 and 6 days a week up coming to Nachman soaking up his methods and individuality. He was a tenacious pit bull with a tale and appreciated twisting the tails of politicians and criminals.

I took a sub-miniature Minox camera which I hid in a cigarette pack with a cutout for the lens. The up coming working day, I unexpectedly received known as to active army responsibility early. I under no circumstances study the story but I know in the coming months, Jerry experienced his lifetime threatened far more than at the time.
I built the realization before this 7 days that "The True Housewives of New Jersey," which premieres on May three, will run concurrent with "The True Housewives of New York City." My Television set may explode.


So, who recognises these fellows? If you watched plenty of cartoons on the telly during the late 80s or early 90s, there's a very good chance you'll have seen them before.
They appeared in a cartoon that started life as a Dutch comic strip called Boes, which followed the amusing exploits of a big bovine chap in dungarees and a huge cast of other animal characters. It was turned into an animated series in Japan, it was broadcast across the world in dozens of different languages, and it was one of the most consistently funny and imaginative shows on television (I personally think it's on a par with the classic Warner Brothers cartoons, and I don't say that at all lightly) - and yet, in Britain and the US at least, it's now been largely forgotten about, which is a wracking shame.
In English-speaking countries the show was known as Ox Tales, and the trio seen here were renamed Ollie the Ox (the hero of the piece, more or less), Jack Turtleson (his luckless best friend whose shell was smashed, stolen or otherwise rendered uninhabitable in practically every episode) and The Toucan, whose marvellously sardonic narration punctuated just about every scene. They were a spiffingly entertaining bunch (and they still are - do a search for Ox Tales on YouTube and see for yourselves. Just try to ignore the laughing mole), and this illo is a homage to their chucklesome grooviness.
I was inspired to create this picture by an utterly brilliant bloke by the on-line name of MarkOut, who runs an Ox Tales tribute blog full of pictures and interesting info about the show and the comic that inspired it. (You can find it here: [link] and you really ought to give it a read.) Earlier in the year he very kindly made it possible for me to watch a whole bunch of episodes that I hadn't seen in years, and I thought it'd be nice to create some pictures of the characters with which he could decorate his blog (and the Ox Tales website that he's hoping to set up). This one here will hopefully be the first of several, so watch out for more ox-related antics in the not-too-distant future!
Long Live Bo the ox! A huge part of my cubhood he had played during summers.
When I was a wee lad, this was my primary reason for cheering on the shrubbery one.
Even at that stage I had the "holy lulz" inside of me.
I reconise this, I laugh do much with this cartoon. Here in my country, Chile, call this "Toribio"
Ah yes i remember this guy. Edward the Elephant was my favourite character i think.
My favorite part is when the groundhog laughs at something. Specially when something happens to her (it was a female groundhog, right?) to interrupt the laffing.
It could get a bit wearing after he/she turned up for the 18th time within a single episode, but I agree, it was always a splendid surprise when the laughter cutaway got interrupted by something else. I'm sure The Toucan threw something at his/her head on one occasion because the constant giggling was getting on his nerves as well.
Wow! Thats awesome!! I loved this!!
Ta very much! Glad you like it.
OH my heck! I dint see this show for ages!!! I love this show.
Always good to hear from fellow fans!
It's kind of a shame, not too much fan art on this cartoon.
Oh cool, I eagerly await said pictures. It would be fun to see someone make a few more fan arts of the show.
Craziest cartoon ever! I love it!
its like a flashback to my childhood seeing this pic!
i totally forgot about this cartoon.
I'm glad it brought back some pleasing memories!
LOL! Awesome show! Here in Argentina It was called Toribio.
It's good to know there are plenty of other Ox Tales fans out there. And in fact there are some Toribio eps on YouTube as well, if you fancy enjoying some nostalgic toonage.
The English version of Ox Tales cartoons were done by a Montreal, Canada based voice actor named A.J. Henderson, best known for voicing Ed Crosswire (father of Muffy Crosswire and owner of Crosswire Motors) and Grandpa Dave (Arthur and D.W.'s Grandfather) in the Arthur cartoon series (Based on Marc Brown's books).
Hey, nifty! The English-speaking voiceover artists were never credited on-screen, so it's splendid to know was behind Ollie's friendly drawl. Ta muchly for the info!
I've noticed that. I pinned a few to one of my Pinterest boards lately, here's a few classics!
I loved this show as a kid. I hope it makes it's way to DVD soon.
Likewise. We shall have to petition Teletoon for a full boxset release.
Yup, I remeber this - weird Japanese movement but otherwise a fun show!
Like certain other cartoons of the period (Talespin, for example), the animation quality sometimes varies between episodes and even, on occasion, between different scenes within individual eps - it's like every so often all the good animators went home early and left the cleaning lady to fill in the gaps. Even the ropily-animated bits are quite fun, though.
I understand that completely! I even have 3/4 of an episode on tape somewhere.
Here in the US, the best we ever got of the show was several VHS tapes.
Even the narrator gets annoyed by him in certain episodes, and it seems that the mole was actually cut from the show in certain countries for being so intrusively aggravating. All of which goes to show something, but I'm sure I don't know what.
I've seen a clip (with bad quality) from the show in YouTube. Looks ok.
Since much of Ox Tales' appeal derives from the numerous visual gags and the characters' wonderfully expressive faces, poor quality videos sadly do it no justice. If you feel so inclined, it's worth seeking out some of the decent-quality full episodes so you can fully enjoy the show's amusingness.


This week we will take a look at a sector ETF that has been gaining attention by investors for a number of reasons. The Homebuilders (XHB ) have had a rough go of it lately, mainly because the traditional costs of building have skyrocketed. The cost of materials, labor and land has gone up so much that many of the homebuilders have been forced into building at the higher end. Additionally, a slowdown in new home sales last year in a rising interest rate environment has challenged the sector.
However, the sector has recently seen a stable increase in the amount of interest for new homes. This week, with the Federal Reserve's decision to leave rates unchanged for the duration of 2019, the sector has now sort of seen an "all clear for now" from investors and decent uptick in prices.
For this reason, as well as the technical support of the 200-day moving average, we'll look for a new long position on the popular ETF. The trade of the week is based on Wednesday's and Thursday's price actions, which showed this support right smack at the 200-day moving average.
The trade of the week is to play the XHB long right here at the $38.50 level and look for a break to new highs. The prior high was at $39.50 and the next real resistance area seems to put prices at the $40 level in the short term. Given the lower cost of this ETF, active traders can look to simply purchase shares of the ETF with the goal of hitting the $40 as a first and main target.

Pfalz D.XII
Biplane Fighter Aircraft
Despite arriving in the last year of World War 1, the Pfalz D.XII biplane fighter managed a production total nearing 800 aircraft.
Manufacturer(s): Pfalz Flugzeugwerke GmbH - Imperial Germany
Width: 29.53 ft (9 m)
Weight (Empty): 1,576 lb (715 kg)
Weight (MTOW): 1,962 lb (890 kg)
Power: 1 x Mercedes D.IIIa 6-cylinder water-cooled inline piston engine developing 160 horsepower and driving a two-bladed wooden propeller at the nose.
Speed: 106 mph (170 kph; 92 kts)
Ceiling: 18,504 feet (5,640 m; 3.5 miles)
Range: 264 miles (425 km; 229 nm)
Rate-of-Climb: 805 ft/min (245 m/min)
Operators: German Empire; Poland (post-war); United States (civilian)
The D.III biplane fighter ended as Pfalz Flugzeugwerke's most promising design of World War 1 (1914-1918) but even that venture could not match contemporary offerings from competitors Albatros and Fokker. The company returned to the drawing board and attempted another aircraft, this becoming the D.XII, and 800 of the type were completed before war's end in November of 1918. The D.XII matched favorably against Allied warplanes of the day but the competing design from Fokker, the D.VII, stole the limelight and saw production reach 3,300 systems. Both arrived in the war's final year.
The Pfalz D.XII was based on earlier approaches by the company which saw D.III aircraft fielded with wing elements inspired by the French SPAD S.VII (detailed elsewhere on this site). The program eventually evolved along its own lines by Pfalz which became the standalone D.XII. A prototype was made ready for March 1918 and a first-flight had that month. The design proved sound enough to warrant an order for 50 of the type and certification was granted in June. A revised rudder design greeted airframes after the 200th production example.
The D.XII became available in useful numbers for German forces during July but could not match the popularity of the Fokker D.VII. However, there were some airmen who learned the nuisances of the Pfalz aircraft and admired its particular diving capabilities. However there proved more than a fair share of detractors who thought the aircraft was rough at the controls, lacked robustness and could be dangerous to land.
The end of the war limited overall production figures and the design was studied at length by the conquering Allied powers - but few found it offering any benefit over competing designs. Poland operated two D.VII aircraft in the post-war years - becoming the only foreign user of the design.
As completed, the D.XII featured a length of 20.9 feet, a wingspan of 29.5 feet and a height of 8.9 feet. Empty weight was 1,580 lb against a Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) of 1,980 lb. Power was from a Mercedes D.IIIa 6-cylinder water-cooled inline piston engine of 160 horsepower capabilities including a maximum speed of 106 miles per hour, a ceiling up to 18,500 feet and a rate-of-climb of over 800 feet-per-minute.
Its general makeup was conventional as a biplane wing arrangement was used. The wings were given N-style struts and applicable cabling for support. The fuselage exhibited slab sides and the engine was fitted to the nose in the usual way - driving a two-bladed propeller unit. The tail incorporated a single, rounded vertical fin with low-mounted horizontal planes. The undercarriage held two main legs that were wheeled with the tail supported by a simple skid. The pilot sat under and behind the upper wing element in an open-air cockpit. Machine gun armament was fitted just ahead of his position. Construction consisted of a monocoque fuselage with plywood skinning and fabric.
Armament was 2 x 7.92mm LMG 08/15 machine guns set over the nose and synchronized to fire through the spinning propeller blades.

text:
L'aqueduc de Contray est un aqueduc de l'époque gallo-romaine situé sur les communes de Loches et Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu, dans le département d'Indre-et-Loire.

Daté du  et à usage privé, il a probablement servi à l'alimentation d'une habitation du type  située à quelques centaines de mètres à l'ouest des vestiges encore en place, quatre piles en petit appareil, alors que le captage se trouvait selon toute vraisemblance un kilomètre plus à l'est, au niveau d'une source dans la forêt de Loches.

Localisation
Les vestiges de l'aqueduc de Contray se trouvent en bordure de la forêt de Loches, à  au nord-est de cette commune et à  environ à l'est du hameau de Contray. L'aqueduc et le hameau sont installés sur le flanc sud d'un vallon qui, parti de la forêt, rejoint l'Indre ; le ruisseau de Contray coule au fond de ce vallon.

Description

Les vestiges nettement visibles de l'aqueduc, en 2015, consistent en quatre piles à l'est du hameau de Contray. Trois de ces piles, consécutives, alignées d'est en ouest et espacées de , sur plan rectangulaire de , ont perdu les arches qui les reliaient et supportaient la canalisation. La quatrième pile, isolée à plus de  à l'est des précédentes, ce qui suggère qu'au moins une pile intermédiaire a disparu, est plus massive et conserve encore le départ de ses arches ; cette dernière pile se trouve sur la commune de Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu. La hauteur des vestiges de ces piles s'établit à environ  au-dessus du niveau du sol moderne. Plus loin vers l'est encore, à l'entrée de la forêt, deux amas de pierres dans l'alignement parfait des piles sauvegardées témoignent de la présence de deux autres piles. Au-delà de ce point, dans la direction de la source présumée de l'aqueduc, l'élévation du niveau du sol suggère que la canalisation de l'aqueduc a pu être souterraine.

L'architecture des piles est constante d'une pile à l'autre. Un parement en petit appareil de petits moellons calcaires de  enserre un noyau en blocage grossier. Les joints entre les moellons du parement ne paraissent pas repris au fer. Aucune terre cuite (brique ou tuile) ne semble entrer dans la structure du parement ; le départ des claveaux des arches est constitué de moellons étroits disposés en éventail, la courbure étant obtenue par la variation de l'épaisseur des joints. Le chaînage des angles des piles est assuré par des moellons plus grands et croisés.

Origine, tracé et destination

L'aqueduc captait vraisemblablement la source d'Orfonds, en forêt de Loches, ou un ensemble de sources à proximité, à  à l'est des vestiges sur le territoire communal de Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu, ce qui lui confèrerait une longueur totale d'environ  pour un dénivelé d'environ , une pente importante déjà signalée au  mais pas exceptionnelle pour un aqueduc romain.

Si la canalisation de l'aqueduc était, dans sa partie terminale, portée par un pont, il est fort probable que le premier kilomètre de son tracé, compte tenu du relief, ait été souterrain.

Au début du , il était envisagé que l'aqueduc pouvait desservir une  en bordure de l'Indre, sur l'itinéraire antique qui relie Loches à Tours, mais cette hypothèse de l'alimentation d'un établissement à plus d'un kilomètre des vestiges connus, sur l'autre rive de l'Indre, n'est pas recevable au regard des données topographiques. La découverte dans les années 1860 de vestiges d'un vaste établissement sur le site de Contray, au nord-ouest des habitations modernes, confirmée par la prospection aérienne dans les années 1970, suggère que cet aqueduc était plutôt destiné à alimenter en eau cet habitat, qualifié de . Les observations faites sur place bien qu'aucune fouille n'ait été réalisée, ainsi que les travaux agricoles, ont permis de mettre au jour, outre les traces de murs, des  et des monnaies en bronze d'Hadrien à Gallien, c'est-à-dire couvrant l'ensemble des .

Historique
Le style architectural des vestiges de l'aqueduc et les éléments mobiliers retrouvés sur le site de Contray, et notamment les monnaies, permettent de poser l'hypothèse de la construction de l'aqueduc au , si le lien entre ce monument et l'habitat mis en évidence à Contray est retenu. Un fonctionnement de l'aqueduc jusqu'à la fin de  est possible, cette période étant couverte par les trouvailles monétaires faites sur le site. L'histoire de l'aqueduc jusqu'au  ne semble pas documentée.

Le , et dans le cadre du congrès archéologique de France organisé par la société française d'archéologie à Loches, cette association, avec l'appui de la société archéologique de Touraine, rachète aux propriétaires privés les vestiges de l'aqueduc.

En 1907, un observateur note que . En 1970, la société française d'archéologie fait don de l'aqueduc à la ville de Loches. Les vestiges ne font l'objet d'aucune protection au titre des monuments historiques.

Evil Player Award of 2018
"There are fraudsters and there are dirty, rotten fraudsters"
Player fraud has always been a problem in online gambling, but it's never really threatened to become an overwhelming problem. However these past few years, and especially this year, has seen a marked rise in the vigor and pervasiveness of a particular kind of fraudster: Self-Exclusion (SE) scammers. These are people who claim to have done an SE at Casino X for gambling addiction reasons and then later want their losses at Casino X (or Y) refunded because of that previous SE (whether it actually existed or not).
On the surface this seems perfectly reasonable — player has gambling problem, casino ignores it, player should be compensated — except that this, like many other serious issues, is often not what it appears at first to be.
The normal cycle in the fraud-fighting battle at casinos is that when a fraudster scam gets to be too damaging the casinos will adapt to ring-fence and ultimately neutralize the threat (as best they can). Unfortunately these days that adaptation is being made much more difficult because the gambling jurisdictions are becoming increasingly politicized. Jurisdiction is managed by the government, government needs to get elected, those elected want to appear favourable in the eyes of the voters so they have a tendency to say or do what they think will get them re-elected. The end result is that governance of the gambling sector is being shaped as much by re-election strategies as the desire for good policy and the need for a healthy industry.
SE tends to fall under the umbrella of Responsible Gambling and that has become a very hot political topic indeed. Take the UK for example: "the Responsible Gambling Strategy Board proposes for the three years 2016-17 to 2018-19 to encourage responsibility in gambling, to reduce or mitigate gambling-related harm, and to increase the protection of the vulnerable." And the purpose of the RGSB (rgsb.org.uk) is to advise the UK Gambling Commission — better known as the UKGC — and ultimately the government, which they have and do. The end result has been considerably more attention being focused on Responsible Gambling practices within casinos and, as many of us have seen, fines and punishments being handed out where the UKGC perceives there to have been a failure of said companies to "meet standards".
The problem is that nowhere in the "encourage responsibility … mitigate gambling-related harm … protection of the vulnerable" mandate is there anything about dealing with Responsible Gambling-related fraud. There simply is no official recognition of the need for casinos and other industry-related bodies to detect, identify and fight player fraud as it relates to Responsible Gambling. And everyone on the industry side of the fence knows that there is whole lot of fraud to fight.
Unfortunately fighting fraud as a policy issue is hard to sell to the voters so, for the most part, there is no policy. In fact the UKGC in particular has deliberatly turned it's back on the entire issue: ADRs were specifically instructed to ignore evidence of player fraud and to not look for such evidence in future cases.
Things have evolved a bit since then but the game remains fundamentally unchanged: casinos are being left to deal with SE fraud on their own and as best they can. When there are SE/Responsible Gambling complaints against a casino they often end up taking those UKGC fines on the chin because it's simply more pragmatic to just pay up and move on. Fighting back with evidence of player fraud is not an option.
This imbalance in the playing field has seriously exacerbated the SE fraud problem. In this past year SE-related cases were by far our largest single area of complaint and the ovewhelming majority of those were fraudulent or unfounded. Other well-respected peers of ours in the industry are seriously considering to flat-out refuse to deal with SE cases simply because of the time and resource-drain they cause. And long-time professionals in the business have said as they were heading out the door for greener pastures, "Self-Exclusion policy is ruining the industry."
Yes, that's all anecdotal evidence, but it's also the pulse of industry from the inside and it's no exaggeration to say that those folks — us included — are not happy about the way this is going.
So for all those SE chancers out there who have taken the good intentions of governments and licensing jurisdictions — not to mention the casinos attempting to comply — to "protect the vulnerable" and turned that into a game of fraud for personal profit we offer the Evil Player Award of 2018: congratulations douche-bags.

Freddy on his way to his new home in New Jersey.
QUEENS — Someone spared him his life from a monstrosity.
The runaway cow that made a daring escape from a Jamaica slaughterhouse a day before it was scheduled to be killed has been saved.
As of Friday morning, "Freddie" the cow was on his way to a New Jersey animal sanctuary, thanks to the persistence of an animal rescue worker who slept overnight outside the slaughterhouse to put the owners under pressure.
Freddie, who was named after Queen singer Freddie Mercury by his savior because the cow hails from the borough of the same name, fled from Archer Halal Live Poultry on Archer Avenue and 165th Street on Thursday. The bovine escapee clearly took inspiration from his namesake, because he too, wanted to break free.
He led police on a chase down Jamaica Avenue before being captured in a parking garage.
Slaughterhouse workers told DNAinfo Thursday that they were still planning to kill the cow, yet on Friday morning they turned him over to Mike Stura, 49, of Skylands Animal Sanctuary And Rescue in Wantage, New Jersey.
Stura said he called the slaughterhouse immediately after hearing the news, but initially the owners were not willing to let him take Freddie back to the Garden State.
Nevertheless, he wouldn't accept that another one would bite the dust, and Stura jumped into his truck and started driving to Jamaica, hoping to convince the owners to let him take the cow.
He arrived there at 7 p.m., but the owners were already gone. He waited all night, and when they arrived at work around 7 a.m., he managed to persuade them to free Freddie.
"I'll give him a home and he'll live a happy life," Stura said.
Stura, who founded his sanctuary about a year ago, said he has already rescued about 75 animals, including sheep, chickens, pigs, turkeys, ducks and geese.
"All of them are saved from the food industry," he said.
On Friday morning, Freddie was on his way to a vet where he will undergo a checkup and will get vaccinated, Stura said.
On Thursday morning, a goat that ran away from another slaughterhouse in Jamaica was taken to a sanctuary in Suffolk Country, after police officers paid $40 to save it.
