FS News - March 2018
Hi everyone, this is Wahn again with the Flexible Survival News for March 2018.
As a note about the patreon polls, there are 5 sundays this month (something that happens 4 times a year), which means that April 1st falls outside of the regularly sceduled polls. We will have the expected number of polls this month, starting with two polls on the 8th.
Diana: You can now meet Diana for a second time in the inner mall. Learn more about the history of the cute hybrid girl, and possibly have a bit of fun with her too.
Dr. Moffatt: Wishing to expand on her research methods, Dr Moffat now proposes an 'alternative therapy' in the form of hypnosis sessions. Mind the secondary effects.
Feral Pets: Snips, Dinah, Hobo, and Chirpy have been made into NPCs as well as pets, with Snips being given a new special talk option to help increase humanity. Others to come soon.
Glory: A distraught half-equine woman comes stumbling into the Mall. Will you care about what happens to her and guide her to a new fate?
Gorillas: You can now aquire football pad armor and a football helmet from joining the gorilla team.
Gryphons Plot: This has now been edited to acknowledge a player with gryphon apperance upon choosing to help the gyphons overtake the soliders during the event.
Hitching Post: You can now find the hitching post at the Park in the Picnic area for a bit of submissive fun. Four scenes to encounter.
Honey: She has now been made into a NPC that will live in the garden after saving her. She will also heavily influence the garden's appearance, which will affect future scenes.
Korvin: He has now been made into a NPC that will live in the rec-room after recruiting him. He will also bring into play a pool table and poker cards that will be expanded in a future update.
Library Expansion part 1: The Library has been reworked to have more rooms, which reflect their inhabitants. Some characters have also been moved to more appropriate locations(if you bring anyone into the Library).
Microwave: You now have a microwave in the Library's break room. To activate it, you must restore power to the Library.
Nermine: If you had tamed the sorceress as the jackalman and had her serve a bunch of mall rats in a bukkake scene, Nermine will have some plans to get her revenge from at least one of the rats - by turning him into a girl and having some fun with her together with the player.
Otto Fuchs: The first two events introducing Doctor Otto Fuchs can be encountered Outside. Meet a doctor that isn't a sex-crazed fiend.
Ryousei: The tiger's friendly encounters with Eric can now build up to an intimate conclusion, complete with an entry in the game endings. There's more content for Ryo to come next update too.
Serenity: A series of non-fatal vore scenes has been added to the naga hybrid, complete with a bound state and a not-so-bad-end.
Sonny: You can now go much further in the romance line with the sheep boy! This involves going on a search for a way to bring home to him!
Tobias: You can now encounter Tobias, a doberman who trains other anthros as pets, in the mall parking lot.
Werewolf encounter: While wandering the Urban Forest at night, you may be stalked by a vicious predator. Be cautious not to let your guard down... like resting in the forest at night. That just may be the moment this feral she-wolf strikes.

Get Ready To Tee Off During The Annual BCHS Golf Tourney
Hot Springs, Va – Leave the thoughts of cold weather behind and get ready to tee off. The annual Achievement Boosters Club golf tournament is coming up on April 30. Roy Burns is the President of the Achievement Boosters Club at Bath County High School.
"Every year we try to award at least seven scholarships" says Burns. "Each scholarship is $750.00 and this is the only fundraiser we do throughout the year to raise that money."
The Achievement Boosters Club rewards and compliments achievement in and out of the classroom for all students at Bath County High School. The club offers rewards and support to both students and teachers.
"We hold reward parties every time there's a grading period for the students that are on the honor roll; teacher recommended students" says Burns. "We have eighth grade orientation every year for the upcoming class. We also do our best to help out the teachers all that we can. We make meals for parent-teacher conferences for them and we do our best to make sure that the achievements of the kids, of the students of Bath County HS not only get rewarded, but that they have an opportunity to stand out."
The Achievement Boosters Club is looking for businesses and individuals to help sponsor the golf tournament. Sponsorship opportunities are available for holes and for the reception after the tournament. And the club is always looking for donations and all the money raised from the tournament goes for the scholarships.
"Of course the golf outing is a lot of fun" says Burns, "everybody has a lot of camaraderie, a lot of fellowship, and it's a lot of fun. But to see those students when they know that the financial burden is coming on them when they're going to go to college; seeing them awarded that money, giving them that bit of hope that I'm going to get some help from our local community so that I can go out and make a difference."
The Achievement Boosters Scholarship Golf Tournament is Saturday April 30 at the Lower Cascades golf course at The Homestead. Tee off is 11am and teams should arrive by 10am. A meal and a reception with raffles, door prizes and a 50/50 drawing will follow the tournament. If you sign up by April first, the cost is $260 for a four man team. After April first, it's $280.
"I'd just like to thank everyone in advance for whatever help you can give us" says Burns. "I know times are tough, but for students going off to college, it's going to be just a little bit tough, and we want to do all that we can to give them some help."
To sign up or to get more information about the Bath County High School Achievement Boosters Scholarship Golf Tournament call Pete Pitard at the High School or Roy Burns at 839-2611.

Tyeb Mehta Dies at 84
July 2, 2009 by Marion Maneker
MyDigitalFC.com records the event:
The 84-year-old painter, who died of heart ailment in Mumbai on Thursday, was the first Indian artist to have set a benchmark when his work Mahisasura, a rendering of the buffalo-demon of Hindu mythology, was sold for $1.58 million at a Christie' auction in 2005. It was the first time a modern Indian painting crossed the million-dollar mark.
"From his early images of trussed bulls, to the rickshaw puller, to the diagonal series to his depictions of Kali and Mahisasaura, all will constantly remain in the visual memory of Indian art," Osians founder Neville Tuli said. Born in Gujarat and based in Mumbai, Mehta began his career with the J J School of Art and was associated with the Progressive Artists group comprising S H Raza, F N Souza and M F Husain among others. Mehta and associates Krishen Khanna, Akbar Padamsee and Ram Kumar was inspired by European masters and interpreted Indian themes.

Flip The Season: Discover Summertime Fun In Winter Destinations
By Daniel Betancourt
Building sandcastles, seaside sunbathing, championship fishing, these are just some of the beloved summertime activities that make the season so special. During the winter however, these cherished pastimes might seem a bit out of reach. Luckily, you can still experience the joys of summer across the globe even in the coldest months of the year. From fly fishing in Frying Pan River in Colorado, to building your very own hot tub in the sand in Hot Water Beach, New Zealand, get away to these fantastic destinations for a taste of summer even in the dead of winter.
Hot Water Beach, New Zealand
While relaxing on a sunny beach during the summer is an absolute must, you'll probably think twice before laying out surfside during the winter. Unless you find yourself in Hot Water Beach, New Zealand. Situated just a little more than two hours north of Mount Maunganui, right outside of New Zealand's pristine Coromandel Forest Park, this remarkable paradise is one of the few spots on Earth where you can dig your very own hot tub in the sand. Geothermal activity beneath the sand can warm the water up to 140º F even when outside temperatures reach a brisk 59º F.
Frying Pan River, Colorado
Fishing isn't just reserved to trawlers in tropical climates. Flowing just two hours east of Mesa, Colorado, Frying Pan River boasts some of the best winter fly fishing in the United States. Even in the coldest of months, the Gold Metal fly fishing region is home to an incredible winter fishery. Cast a line in the scenic canyon rich in wild trout including Brookies, Browns, Cutthroats, and Rainbows. Even the most novice of anglers will find pleasure in fishing the bountiful hatches of Frying Pan River.
Umpqua Hot Springs, Oregon
Deep in Oregon's Umpqua National Forest lies Umpqua Hot Springs, a terrace of hot spring pools descending down the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains. Located just two hours north of Klamath Falls, these natural pools get progressively cooler as you work your way down the slope. The first and warmest of the pools can reach 108º F, and is ideal for winter soaking. The .4-mile hike to the springs makes the pools accessible even in heavy snow. Day passes are available to visit the pools, and the national forest also features hiking, sightseeing, and camping in the area.
Nothing says summer quite like building sandcastles on a beach. During the winter however, trade in the pail and bucket, and visit some of the world's most iconic winter castles instead. Less than two hours north of Schliersee lies Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany. This enchanting castle is considered to be the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland Park. During the winter, the fortress is blanketed in white snow, creating a fairy tale-like view of the castle surrounded by the breathtaking Bavarian Alps. The castle is a museum and is open to the public.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
April 8, 2021 by Frank E. Lamothe, III
April 2021 marks the official 20th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM).
There is an epidemic of sexual abuse in our country. Statistics reported by the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) reveal that each year in the U.S., more than 433,648 people – male and female – are sexually assaulted or raped. One in 9 girls and 1 in 53 boys under the age of 18 experience sexual abuse or assault at the hands of an adult. The stark reality is that a sexual assault occurs every 73 seconds. Every 9 minutes, that victim is a child.
Louisiana and federal criminal laws are there to protect us, but because only a small percentage of perpetrators are sent to jail, justice in the criminal courts is rarely achieved. Fortunately, victims of sexual assault, rape, and sexual abuse can seek compensation from their assailants through lawsuits in civil court.
How Does the Law Define Sexual Assault?
Various forms of sexual assault and battery are considered felonies and misdemeanors under the Louisiana Criminal Code, all of which involve some form of non-consensual sexual touching such as:
• Rape (first degree, second degree, third degree, and statutory)
• Child molestation
• Sex trafficking
• Sexual battery
• Oral sexual battery
• Sodomy
But criminal sexual abuse and exploitation can also occur in the absence of physical contact when the perpetrator:
• Shows sexually explicit images to a child
• Reveals oneself sexually
• Asks the victim to reveal himself or herself sexually
• Records sexually inappropriate video or images of the victim for personal use or distribution
• Requests the victim to take inappropriate pictures of himself or herself to send to the perpetrator
Regardless of whether or not the perpetrator has been criminally charged, the victim is entitled to file a civil lawsuit to recover damages for the physical, emotional and psychological harms they have suffered. Sometimes, a plaintiff can also bring a civil sexual abuse lawsuit against an organization such as an employer, a religious organization, or a prison or correctional facility, The organization may be held responsible for the abuse when the organization's negligence allowed the abuse to occur or when the organization turned a blind eye to the abuse.
Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse Damages
A civil suit can never reverse the harm caused by a sexual predator, but damages recovered in a civil lawsuit can hold the assailant financially accountable and help with the financial burden and devastating consequences resulting from a sexual assault.
The law refers to damages for which an objective dollar amount can be determined, such as medical bills and expenses, lost wages, and quantifiable monetary losses as "special damages." Damages that are not as easily calculated, like the victim's pain and suffering from physical injuries, and mental anguish, are referred to as "general damages." Victims of sexual abuse or exploitation are entitled to recover both special damages and general damages. Frequently, these damages will include:
• Compensation for physical pain and suffering
• Compensation for emotional pain and suffering, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Loss of income and earning opportunities
• The costs of past and future medical care and treatment
• Loss of enjoyment of life
The victim's immediate family members may also be entitled to general damages when the relationship has been negatively affected as a result of the abuse. In the tragic situations where the victim died or committed suicide as a result of the sexual assault, the estate can seek damages for wrongful death.
In certain circumstances, such as when an adult sexually abuses a minor, Louisiana law also allows for punitive damages to be imposed.
Limited Time Period for Filing the Lawsuit
Regardless of whether criminal charges were brought against the attacker – the law gives you a limited amount of time to bring a civil lawsuit.
Typically, a victim of an injury in Louisiana has one year from the date of injury to file a civil lawsuit. However, Louisiana law provides that victims of sexual assault may file their lawsuit up to 3 years after the date the abuse occurred, or up to 3 years after the date the victim is notified of the identity of the perpetrator by law enforcement or a judicial agency. In certain types of cases involving sexual abuse of a child, the victim may file their lawsuit up to 10 years after the date they reached 18 years of age.
The time limitation in which the law allows a victim to bring a lawsuit will be different depending on the specifics of each case. In some cases, certain claims may be lost if the lawsuit is not filed within the first year. In other cases, there may be extenuating circumstances that allow a victim to file a lawsuit even after the time period that normally applies has passed. If you or a loved one was raped, sexually assaulted, sexually abused, or sexually exploited, it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible so that they can review the facts of your case and determine which time limitations will apply.

The experienced attorneys at Lamothe Law Firm represent both adult and child sexual abuse victims, drawing from years of personal injury litigation success and a deep compassion for our clients and the harm they have endured.

If you or someone you love was sexually abused as a child at church, at school, in a healthcare setting, while participating on a sports team, or as a member of an organization, please contact us today for a confidential consultation about your situation.

Home News Analysis Berta Cáceres Murder Unveiled Network of Impunity for Honduras Elites
Berta Cáceres Murder Unveiled Network of Impunity for Honduras Elites
Parker Asmann
Honduran activist Berta Cáceres
After two years, authorities in Honduras still have not identified the individuals responsible for ordering the murder of renowned environmental and indigenous activist Berta Cáceres, underscoring the widespread impunity enjoyed by Honduran elites amid mounting questions about the future of an international body meant to help tackle the issue.
On March 3, 2016, armed men stormed Berta Cáceres' home in the southwestern Honduran city of La Esperanza. The gunmen fatally shot Cáceres and seriously wounded her friend, Mexican environmental activist Gustavo Castro Soto, leaving him for dead.
Cáceres had garnered international recognition in 2015 after she received the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize for her work against a major hydroelectric dam project that critics said would harm indigenous Lenca communities living along the Gualcarque River, which the Lenca hold as sacred.
SEE ALSO: Honduras News and Profiles
Cáceres faced repeated threats in the days leading up to her death attempting to intimidate her into abandoning the campaign against the dam project. Honduran officials later told InSight Crime that responsibility for the activist's murder reached to high levels of Desarrollos Energéticos SA (DESA), the company managing the project.
"Her death was a result of her struggle," a source in the Attorney General's Office said. "The business that affected Berta was the dam."
Two Years, No Answers
Cáceres' murder triggered international outrage, and eventually led three international backers of the dam project to withdraw $44 million in planned funding. But despite intense pressure to solve the case, Honduran authorities still haven't arrested or charged any of the intellectual authors of the crime.
In October 2017, a report by an independent panel of experts presented compelling evidence that Cáceres' murder was a coordinated plot made months in advance by DESA executives and Honduran officials.
More recently, Cáceres' eldest daughter, Olivia Marcela Zúniga, said that a police report pointed to the involvement of Elden Vásquez, a congressman from the governing National Party who serves as secretary of the environmental committee in congress.
Nevertheless, authorities in Honduras have taken no action against top DESA executives or government figures, though they have arrested eight individuals alleged to have participated in the murder, including current and retired Honduran military officials as well as two men connected to DESA.
"We expected a lot more, a lot sooner."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Cáceres' family has little trust in Honduran authorities. Silvio Carrillo, a US-based journalist and the nephew of Berta Cáceres, told InSight Crime that the slow and bumpy progress of the investigation has shaken his confidence in the government's commitment to solving the case.
"It's very difficult for us to put any faith into the investigation given the manner in which authorities have handled it over the last two years. We expected a lot more, a lot sooner," he said.
A Network of Impunity
Experts consulted by InSight Crime stressed that the anniversary of Cáceres' murder and the lack of progress in bringing the intellectual authors to justice serves as a stark reminder of the fragile state of efforts to fight elite corruption and impunity in Honduras.
"This is a case that has received the most international attention and pressure. If Honduras' judicial system cannot advance this investigation beyond the material authors and to the intellectual authors, this shows the weak and corrupt state of the judicial system in Honduras," said Lisa Haugaard, the executive director of the Washington, DC-based Latin America Working Group.
Dana Frank, a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, echoed these statements, and told InSight Crime that it's "very clear that there is a great deal of evidence being buried."
"The intellectual authors have not been charged and evidence is not being shared with the family and its lawyers as is required by law. Even in the most emblematic of cases … justice is not being served. Honduran authorities are failing to arrest or convict the alleged authors of the crime even with substantial evidence," Frank said.
SEE ALSO: Honduras Elites and Organized Crime
Sarah Chayes, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told InSight Crime that the failure to achieve substantial progress in the Cáceres murder case is the result of an "operating system" based on corruption and impunity.
"It's not as though there are one or two intellectual authors, or one or two isolated individuals behind this murder," Chayes said. "It's a network and it's a quite tightly woven network that comprises public officials, business magnates and out-and-out criminals at the top."
Anti-Graft Efforts Under Fire
The anniversary of Cáceres' murder comes in the context of upheaval at the Support Mission Against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (Misión de Apoyo contra la Corrupción y la Impunidad en Honduras – MACCIH), an institution created by the Organization of American States (OAS) to help the country deal with cases involving elite corruption.
The former commissioner of the MACCIH, Juan Jiménez Mayor, recently resigned from the position, citing pushback from elites against anti-graft initiatives and a lack of support from the OAS.
The resignation cast doubts over the future of efforts to tackle elite impunity in Honduras, particularly as President Juan Orlando Hernández's begins a second term in office after a controversial election that raised allegations of fraud and corruption against him.
"Honduran authorities are failing to arrest or convict the alleged authors of the crime even with substantial evidence."
Although the MACCIH did not play a central role in investigating Cáceres' murder, its work on the investigation revealed some of the body's fundamental shortcomings.
For instance, Haugaard said, the MACCIH "faced difficulties in obtaining the information they needed from the Attorney General's Office and judicial authorities."
Frank told InSight Crime that the built-in weakness of the anti-corruption body was also part of the problem.
The MACCIH "was imposed by the United States through the OAS as a deliberately weaker alternative to a powerful body like the United Nations-backed International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (Comisión Internacional Contra la Impunidad en Guatemala – CICIG). The commission depends on cooperation from Honduras' Attorney General's Office and has only weak powers," she said.
While there have been some signs of progress in tackling corruption and impunity under the MACCIH, the Cáceres case has made clear that Honduran elites generally have little interest in addressing the systemic factors that contribute to these problems.
According to Chayes, the Cáceres case shows that "not only will the Honduran government not seek to address corruption, it will seek to thwart any effort to investigate [it]."

North Carolina officer shoots, kills man during traffic stop
April 1, 2018 11442
A white North Carolina police officer shot and killed a black passenger who refused orders not to reach for a gun after a late-night traffic stop led to a physical struggle, authorities said Saturday.
The shooting happened after Officer D.E. McGuire stopped a car containing two men and a woman about 10:30 p.m. Friday during a routine patrol northeast of downtown, according to a Winston-Salem Police Department news release.
Edward Van McCrae, 60, was in the rear seat and began making suspicious movements, police say. McGuire told McCrae to stop reaching for concealed areas of the vehicle, but McCrae continued, according to the news release.
"After being removed from the vehicle, Mr. McCrae physically struggled with Officer McGuire and refused multiple verbal commands by Officer McGuire to 'stop reaching,'" the news release said. "As the struggle continued, a handgun became visible to Officer McGuire."
McGuire shot and killed McCrae when he refused commands not to reach for the gun, according to the release. A police report characterizes the exchange as an assault on the officer with a firearm.
The State Bureau of Investigation has been brought in to investigate the shooting, which happened in a residential area of modest homes. A spokesman for the state agency, Brent Culbertson, confirmed in an email that McGuire is white and McCrae was black.
McGuire, who has worked for the department since 2015, has been put on administrative duty pending the investigation.
The news release said that McCrae used his body camera from the beginning of the traffic stop, and he called for backup when he saw McCrae's suspicious movements. State law typically requires a judge to sign off on any public release of police body-camera footage.
READ Family Demands Answers After Kansas City Police Officer Kills 26-Yr-Old Cameron Lamb
Other officers arrived within seconds of the shooting and attempted to resuscitate McCrae, as did an emergency medical crew, according to authorities. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The other occupants of the car weren't injured.
Police said that McGuire had minor abrasions after the altercation.
A woman who lives near the scene of the shooting, Delphine Bias, told WGHP-TV that she heard gunshots before walking to her window to see McCrae lying on the ground.
"I heard about four or five shots, 'Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!'" she said. "So when I jumped up to run to see what was going on, I saw a gentleman laying over there on the street."

Majors cement Wanjiru legacy
NAIROBI, Kenya, June 13- With the World Marathon Majors promising to rename the elite circuit trophy after the late Samuel Wanjiru, his venerated place in classic distance running will be cemented for generations to come.
The fallen Olympics champion was finally interred on Saturday in a ceremony steeped in the contrasting side of a young life snuffed at the tender age of 24 on that May 15 dark Sunday.
"He is simply the greatest marathoner of all time. His victory at the Olympics was the signature and the best race ever run. London Marathon will be honoured since he gave us memorable races in 2008 and when won a year later," David Bedford, the London Marathon director said at the funeral.
"I came here to represent the World Marathon Majors and we have sat down and decided to name the trophy after him and it is only fitting since he won it twice in a row," the director of one of the Big Five races that in addition to Boston, Berlin, Chicago and New York complete the WMM circuit.
Wanjiru won the $500,000 (Sh43m) jackpot for the first time in the 2008/2009 season and held on to the trophy when he won last year's Chicago Marathon against Ethiopian rival, Tsegay Kebede.
"We have lost a hero and this should teach our athletes to take care of themselves. It is very sad that this young life has gone but we shall always remember what he did for this country," National Olympics Committee- Kenya (Nock) chair, Kipchoge Keino, stated.
The retired double Olympics champion who his also an International Olympics Committee (IOC) Council Member urged the Nyahururu Municipal Stadium to be named after him.
Wanjiru's sombre funeral service was held at the same ground where he shaped his blessed legs and where residents of the town came to toast his achievements at Beijing Olympics and lately, when he won Chicago.
"We shall also sit at Nock to see what the fitting memorial is for him. Nyahururu has produced many good athletes, John Ngugi, Wanjiru, Charles Kamathi and others and we should make sure the area produces more," Keino, who read IOC president, Jack Rogge's message at the service said.
A distraught double women's world marathon champion and former record holder, Catherine Ndereba expressed she was still yet to come to terms with the loss.
"The last time I saw Sammy was when we visited his home. He was so happy…I only believed he was gone when we went to collect his body at Lee Funeral Home," she tearfully narrated.
"I cannot imagine how London 2012 Olympics is going to be without him. He had this unique running style where you would know he was about to accelerate by raising his arms. I had never seen anything like him.
"I first met him in Japan in 2004, with so much promise. He happened to know me and since then, he grew to be a very good friend. I cannot say much about him since this is so sad but we pray to God this country will have another like him." Ndereba eulogised.
Distance runner, Daniel Gatheru, who happened to be a bosom buddy of Wanjiru said his departed friend, "Helped so many upcoming athletes by paying for their tickets to Japan and America, assisted so many orphans and would give so much to those whom he did not even know."
He recalled the painful last moments of the Olympics champion stating, "I left his house in his wife's car and I was called by his watchman about half an hour later to be told he had fallen from his balcony."
"I returned there to find him lying down at the man hole bleeding from the back of the head, his nose and mouth. The police had already arrived and we rushed him to Nyahururu District Hospital where they put him on oxygen…ten minutes later, just before our eyes…he was gone," he added fighting tears.
"I do not believe he was murdered. The padlock at the man hole is what caused the damage. We should let this matter rest and remember him for the great things he did. It is the challenge Nyahururu athletes have been left with," Gatheru implored.
Last year's Rotterdam Marathon champion, Duncan Kibet, who was a stable mate to the fallen hero said, "He had just started. Now we will never know how far he would have gone. We will miss him so much."
Three-time London Marathon champion, Martin Lel, who staged one of the most enthralling races at the event in 2008 when he out-sprinted Wanjiru at the last few metres was disconsolate.
"There's nothing I can say about him….the loss is too painful," Lel who finished second in London this April after a two-year absence.
With the controversy following his death and delayed burial locking may of his colleagues and international friends from the burial, the athletics fraternity nevertheless came out in force to give one of their foremost icons the send-off he warranted.
Retired 3000m world record holder, Daniel Komen, former world champions, Charles Kamathi (who read the eulogy), Benjamin Limo, Joseph Riri, Leonard Mucheru and Pauline Njeri were among the collection of distance running exponents present.
As Nyahururu came to a stand-still, it was perhaps a testament of his greatness that the heavens opened up at his funeral service and subsequent burial at a farm some ten kilometres from the town. Being Wanjiru, controversy is never far away, even in his journey to the grave. The ceremonies were conducted under chocking security, with anti-riot police, police dogs, crack units and uniformed officers formed a cordon around the town, the route the cottage passed and at the farm he was laid to rest.
His mother, Hannah Wanjiru who had called for a boycott to the funeral was nowhere to be seen after the courts declined a last-ditch effort to halt the burial and his grandfather, Samuel Kamau, was among those forced to foot to the burial after the vehicle carrying him got stuck in the mud.
This delayed the final rites but by the time the old man made his way through the throng of humanity leaning to catch a glimpse of the final moments, Kenya Police had already finished the send-off repetoire reserved for fallen officers.
Given full honours including a 21-gun salute after his brown gold plated casket was lowered to its final resting place, Wanjiru's journey on earth that existed in a fast forward mode came to its grand stop.
He shall solery be missed.

HomeNewsProposed stadium financials explained at Faculty Senate meeting
Proposed stadium financials explained at Faculty Senate meeting
University CFO and treasurer Ken Kaiser broke down the university's costs of continuing to rent Lincoln Financial Field, versus building an on-campus stadium.
22 April 2016 Julie Christie News, Temple Administration
The Faculty Senate met Tuesday afternoon to discuss financing of Temple's proposed $126 million on-campus stadium.
University CFO and Treasurer Ken Kaiser presented "On-Campus Stadium Financial Review and Rationale" to attendees, and explained the difference of cost between building the stadium and continuing to rent out Lincoln Financial Field.
"It's your typical 'rent-or-buy' question," Kaiser told the Senate. "It's a lot less expensive over the long-term."
According to Kaiser's presentation, while the rent has not increased, average game-day expenses have increased almost nine times, from $195,000 in 2003 to a projected $1,730,000 in 2017. With the $1 million rent added, the cost for playing at Lincoln Financial Field has doubled over fifteen years, Kaiser said.
With its own stadium, he said, Temple would pay two-thirds less for game-day expenses, creating $4 million of savings by 2024.
He added the proposed 2018-2022 lease with the Eagles would triple the annual rent Temple plays, along with an almost $300,000 increase in average game-day expenses.
He said the Eagles had offered two one-year extensions for Temple's lease at half the rent price, but would "charge millions" in other expenses.
"The Eagles, they're a smart bunch," Kaiser said.
Kaiser then compared the costs and revenues that would be generated if Temple continues to lease at Lincoln Financial Field, versus building its own on-campus stadium.
He said game-day expenses, which increase at a projected 16.9 percent annual rate, would only cost $872,000 and increase at a 5 percent annual rate.
While Temple only gets 10 percent of concession revenues and no parking or suite revenues from its games at Lincoln Financial Field, Kaiser said Temple would be able to get 100 percent of the revenue from concessions, parking and suites from an on-campus stadium.
The stadium, Kaiser said, would become financially stable after a few years whereas continuing to rent from the Eagles would result in "growing deficits."
Kaiser then explained the university's plan to fund the $126 million stadium, adding it will rely mostly on contributions and will not need any increase in tuition. The largest method of payment would be through a debt service—similar to a mortgage—of $56 million, offset by the stadium's revenues and cost savings. The next payment will be through $50 million worth of donations, sponsorships, private gifts and seat licenses.
"This is the one area that really needs to come through," Kaiser said.
He added $15 million has already been donated, the highest donation total Kaiser has seen in his time at Temple.
"It shows people are already really interested," he said.
The state governor's office has also promised to contribute $20 million to the project.
Kaiser added that even with no increase in game attendance, the stadium would have an increasing revenue of $2 and $3 million annually.
Temple will "break even" five years after building the stadium, Kaiser said. In year six and the years after, the stadium would produce a margin, with savings "growing year after year."
Kaiser added the stadium will save the university more than $21 million by 2024, compared to leasing at Lincoln Financial Field—not including revenue from a retail plaza, which will be paid for by third-party developers.
After discussing new Faculty Senate elections, adjunct contract negotiations and Temple's Crisis, Assessment, Response and Education program, the Faculty Senate passed a motion condemning anti-LGBT laws passed in North Carolina and Mississippi.
The meeting ran several minutes late, and no faculty could be reached for comment after its conclusion.

Mexico Sees End 2018 as Best Case for Implementing New NAFTA
Mexico's Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo listens during the presentation of Mexico's negotiating team for the renewal of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in Mexico City, Mexico, August 2, 2017.
MEXICO CITY —
Under a best-case scenario, a newly negotiated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) would not be implemented before the end of next year or the start of 2019, Mexico's economy minister said Thursday.
Among other issues, NAFTA talks would focus on how to provide more certainty in dispute resolutions, Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said in a radio interview.
"According to the possible calendars of approval, the best of the scenarios that we could have ... would be the start of implementation almost at the end of 2018 or the start of 2019," Guajardo said.
Mexico has set out the goals of prioritizing free access for goods and services, greater labor market integration and a strengthening of energy security.
Last week, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said during a visit to Mexico that he hoped farm business with Mexico would not suffer due to President Donald Trump's drive to get a better deal for manufacturers.
Speaking in Japan on Thursday, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said the best way to calm Trump's worries about commerce with Mexico were through more trade, not less.
Videgaray said negotiators would need to be careful not to tweak trade rules on sourcing components too much or they could risk driving up the costs of goods like electronics.
"The important thing that we are not going to do is hurt the region's competitivity, and much less the region's consumers," Videgaray said, according to a transcript.

Neighbor Spotlight – Jeff Poniewaz
By Ellen Warren on June 2013 in Neighbor Spotlight
by Ellen C. Warren, photo provided by J. Poniewaz
Interviewing Milwaukee's new Poet Laureate at the Urban Ecology Center is perfect. Not only is Jeff Poniewaz considered an eco-poet and a nature poet (he differentiates between the two in that the former carries a message, a call to action), he also sat on the original board of directors of the Riverside Nature Center which eventually morphed into the Urban Ecology Center. Quite at home, he exhibits pride in the place where, until recently, he taught his UWM course, "Literature of Ecological Vision."
Jeff is embarking on a two-year run as Milwaukee Poet Laureate, a post he shares with Jim Chapson. At his initiating ceremony, Jeff was introduced by former Milwaukee Poet Laureate Antler, Jeff's close companion since a poetry class in 1966.
Antler's introduction included an astonishing list of Jeff's publications, awards and successes. Early on in his career Jeff was instrumental in bringing famous Beat poets, such as Lawrence Ferlinghetti, to Milwaukee. His reading tours have covered both coasts and include most Milwaukee venues, past and present, including a reading every year at the Woodland Pattern Poetry Marathon. He founded The Earth Poets group which has performed every Earth Day since 1988. He has been published in national and local magazines, newspapers and anthologies.
Jeff has a book, Dolphin Leaping in the Milky Way, which is currently out of print. His chapbooks are Polish for Because – Meditations of a Former St. Josaphat Altar Boy and Whales Hover Over the Freeway, a wonderful compilation of poems revolving around the WyLAND whale mural painted on the side of the Milwaukee County Courthouse Annex that used to overhang southbound highway I-43. Both chapbooks are available at Woodland Pattern Book Center (720 E. Locust) and People's Books Cooperative (804 E. Center). By the end of this year, Jeff informs us, he'll be publishing a new book of selected poems.
Dolphin Leaping in the Milky Way won him a PEN Discovery Award. It drew praise from Greenpeace co-founder Rex Weyler as well as Allen Ginsberg who called it "impassioned prescient ecological Whitmanesque/Thoreauvian verve and wit." Jeff is a great admirer of Walt Whitman and of Allen Ginsberg. In fact, Ginsberg was a friend of his, and if you are lucky you may get Jeff to share some interesting and enlightening tales about the controversial beat poet.
To source his ecological vision Jeff goes back to the "crik" of his southside Milwaukee childhood. His South 4th Street block was "Where The Sidewalk Ends," just like Shel Silverstein's poem. Beyond the sidewalk was the Kinnickinnic River.
"I didn't know it was a river. The kids called it a creek," says Jeff. "The grasshoppers were there. But even then the river would stink from time to time of a faint gasoline smell and sewage. So, it was very poignant that that should be my introduction to wild nature.
"Then my parents took me on vacations up north to Eagle River… and I just loved the ampleness of up there compared to life in a city," he continues. "Which is why this place (the UEC) is so important. It gets city kids in contact with some nature."
For many years Jeff's residence has been on another street "Where The Sidewalk Ends." This time the destination beyond the cement is the Milwaukee River. His love of the river propelled him to activism in the failed attempt to save the Humboldt Yards. He was, however, successful in helping to save the wild side of Riverside Park, and originated the idea of a Milwaukee River Nature Park which has now gained official approval as the Milwaukee River Greenway.
Jeff's poetry is not always nature-oriented. "I have to write what the muse gives me," he explains.
Living surrounded by Polish-speakers and in the same house with his beloved Busia (pronounced boosha, Polish for grandma) doubtlessly cemented Jeff's pride and joy in his Polish-American nationality. His book, Polish for Because, details and considers moments of that upbringing.
A poem titled "Poniewaz Revisited" takes a look at the throes Jeff has, often humorously, endured in choosing to keep his birth name as his pen name.
Kowalski at least you can pronounce. Doubletakes,
and even annoyance, have greeted my name since
childhood. I always knew when the teacher came
to my name on the first day of class: going down
the list of names he or she would come to a sudden
stop soon after the "M's" and squint at the page.
I knew that was me.
Further into the poem you learn how to pronounce his name correctly.
Poe, as in Edgar Allan,
nYEAH, as in slang for "YES"
with an "n" in front of it
-vAHsh, like an "AH" with a "v"
in front of it and an "sh" after it.
Got that? Poe-nYEAH-vAHsh. And its meaning in Polish is "because."
So, from another of his poems, appropriately titled, "Polish for Because," these final lines:
The poet's handy omniscient reply.
What parents tell children when children ask why.
Poniewaz is Polish for Because because
Poniewaz is Polish for Because.
Congratulations on your deserved appointment as Milwaukee Poet Laureate, Riverwester Jeff! For lots of reasons. And just because.

Council on Aging Organizes Workshop to Educate Elderly About CBD Uses
Abigail Martinez
Aiming to educate the elderly people about CBD and its various applications, Council on Aging organized a workshop known as "Demystifying CBD" earlier last week.
The Council on Aging's director Haley Bolton said it was vital to hold the discussion as there were several requests for it after The Heirloom Collective launched a marijuana cultivation facility in Bernardston, Massachusetts. The event took place on Wednesday, where the Council replied to those requests with a thorough discussion in a bid to inform the seniors about CBD.
The workshop was led by Alex Abrams, co-founder of the Heritage Hemp and director of sales at The Heirloom Collective.
Abrams said that CBD has already become a trending topic currently and it is difficult to obtain correct information about it.
CBD can be described as cannabidiol. It has already emerged as the second most existing active content in marijuana. CBD has gained the status of one of the most important components of medical marijuana. CBD can be secured straight away from the hemp plant, which is also known as the cousin of the marijuana plant.
Abrams also took note of the reluctance prevailing around the usage of CBD as it is frequently linked with THC, also known as a psychoactive compound in marijuana plants. Abrams said that CBD is a non-psychoactive substance that helps in boosting relaxation.
Abrams also spoke extensively about hemp and from where it was originated. He said, "Hemp can be traced back to somewhere in the Middle East," Abrams said. "It was carried to all continents by the hand of man through the trade system."
It is interesting to note that Hemp was first legalized in the US way back in 1938. And, agricultural hemp was permitted on a trial basis by federal law under the Agricultural Act of 2014. And, 2 years back in 2018, commodity hemp production was legalized federally as per the 2018 United States Farm Bill.
Abrams also pointed out that CBD may prove helpful with degenerative conditions and addictive nature. It has the potential of curing anxiety and pain.

Who Was Sayyid Qutb – Haneef James Oliver
Who Was Sayyid Qutb?
[abridged from the book, The 'Wahhabi' Myth by Haneef James Oliver]
"Sayyid Qutb had no knowledge of the fundamental or subsidiary matters of Islam." – Shaykh Muhammad Naasir ad-Deen al-Albaanee
Sayyid Qutb (1906-66) was born in a small town in Upper Egypt and moved to Cairo as an adolescent in order to further his education. Qutb began to write in the late 1920s as a poet and literary critic, writing about social and political matters from a secular standpoint. By 1948, Qutb changed his mode of writing, and began to write from a more Islamic perspective, according to the limited knowledge of Islaam that he had. Social Justice, his first Islamic book, was published in 1949.
After his return from a two-year study tour in the United States that ended in 1950, Qutb joined al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun (the Muslim Brotherhood), becoming one of their leading spokesmen. After the movement openly opposed the government of Jamal Abdul Nasser, Qutb essentially spent the rest of his life in prison after 1954, except for a brief period in 1964-65. After being temporarily released, Qutb was re-apprehended, tried and executed for treason in 1966.
Qutb's lack of knowledge in Islam coupled by his jailing led him to change his understanding of Islam according to the circumstances he was faced with. Consequently, his writings became more and more radical as time went by. Eventually, his revolutionary ideology of takfir (excommunication) and setting out against the authorities became ingrained in the minds and hearts of a new generation of youth who were looking for something greater than the failed way of al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun. To this day, Qutb is considered to be the head of this ideology for all insurrectionary groups.
His new-fangled way of understanding Islam is evident in his attempt to write a tafsir (explanation) of the Qur'aan called Fee Thilaalil-Qur'aan (In the Shade of the Qur'aan). Qutb was not interested in following the traditional approach of explaining the Qur'aan, which is to firstly refer to the Qur'aan itself for other verses which clarify the meaning, then the Hadeeths of the Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) which deal with the meanings of specific verses, or if this does not exist, to refer to the explanations of his companions. Hence, it cannot be referred to as a tafsir in the conventional sense.
Referring to the explanations of the companions is a legislated matter in Islaam, because they witnessed the revelation of the Qur'aan and were taught its understanding and application by the one to whom it was revealed. Consequently, they were commissioned to transmit the texts of the Qur'aan and Haadeeths that we read today and were also charged with the responsibility of retaining the explanations of the texts as well as their causes and occasions of revelation.
Instead of referring to these important sources, Qutb used his own opinions to explain the Qur'aan – over and above these sources. Consequently, this tafsir contains numerous errors which the Salafi scholars have already clarified for the people.
Because of his ignorance of the orthodox system of Islamic belief, Qutb came up with a hodgepodge of statements collected from all of the various Islamic sects which have sprung up since the earliest years of Islamic civilization. Far from being upon the creed of the "Wahhabis", Qutb was influenced by the Mu'tazili/Sufi philosophical school of thought which prevails in that area of the Middle East. This system of belief runs completely contrary to the so-called "Wahhabi" creed.
Since he abandoned the methodology of returning to the understanding of the Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) and his companions when approaching the texts of the Qur'aan and Sunnah, Qutb became engrossed in the faults and sins of those around him, particularly those of the rulers.
As the Islamic groups such as al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun sought to usurp the authority of the Egyptian rulers, the government responded by clamping down on them, sometimes in brutal ways. This environment caused Qutb to form a particular outlook of the world, and his absence of proper grounding in the methodology of the early rightly-guided Muslims caused him to fall into the dangerous orientation of expelling people from the fold of Islaam due to their sins…
Sayyid Qutb's ignorance of the fundamentals of Islaam led him to utter the following statements of perilous excess, "Today, we are in jahiliyah (the days of ignorance), like that which was prevalent at the dawn of Islaam, in fact more severe. Everything around us is jahiliyah…"
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, one of the great scholars of this time, was asked whether it is permissible to use the term jahiliyah in an unrestricted manner upon the present-day Islamic societies, to which he answered:
The general jahiliyah went away when the Messenger of Allaah (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) was sent. So it is not permissible to employ it upon the Islamic societies in a general sense. As for applying something from its affairs upon individuals or upon some groups and societies, then this is permissible and allowed. Indeed, the Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) said to one of his companions, "Verily you are a man who has jahiliyah in him." And he (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) said, "My nation will not leave off four affairs of jahiliyah: Pride in noble descent, cursing the lineage, seeking rain through the stars, and wailing over the dead."
Elsewhere, Qutb said, "The time has reverted back to its original form on the very day this religion came to mankind with the phrase 'There is no deity worthy of worship other than Allaah.' For mankind has apostatized and gone to the worship of the servants…"
This extreme belief led Qutb to conclude that "the (Islamic) Nation has ceased to be in existence and has not been perceivable for a very long time." In fact, Qutb went to such lengths of extremism that he refused to pray the obligatory Friday congregational prayer, believing that its obligation was no longer binding due to the fact that there was no Caliph ruling over the Muslim lands. In his book "The Secret History of al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, Ali Ashmawi said, "And the time for the obligatory Friday congregational prayer arrived so I said to him (Qutb), 'Let us leave and pray,' and it was a surprise that I came to know – and for the first time – that he did not use to pray the Friday prayer."
Even the heads of al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, such as Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi, bear witness to the menace of Qutb and his followers:
"And it was in this period that the books of the martyr, Sayyid Qutb appeared, the books that represented his final thoughts (in ideology, before his death). Those which justified the takfir (excommunication) of (whole) societies… the breaking of all sentimental attachments to society, breaking off ties with others, and the announcement of a destructive jihaad against the whole of mankind. And showing contempt against the inviters who call for lenience and softness, accusing them of idiocy, and being defeatist… He made this manifest, in the most clear manner in the tafsir (explanation of the Qur'aan), Fee Thilaalil-Qur'aan, in the 2nd edition and in Ma'alim fit-Tariq (Milestones), and the bulk of it is taken from Thilal and Al-Islam wa Mushkilatil-Hadharah and others."
The senior Salafi scholars have clearly alerted the Muslims to these mistakes, which are far from limited to issues of takfir (excommunication). When asked for his opinion about whether or not it was correct for people to keep a copy of Qutb's commentary of the Qur'aan in their houses, Shaykh Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi'ee, the great Yemeni scholar replied:
"As for the book ath-Thilal and the writings of Sayyid Qutb – may Allaah have mercy upon him – then we advise that they not be read at all, because some people from Jamaa'atut-Takfir and some of the youth who were conceived by Jamaa'atut-Takfir were a direct product of the writings of Sayyid Qutb, may Allaah have mercy upon him. And Sayyid Qutb was merely considered a writer, he was not considered a mufassir (explainer of the Qur'aan)."
The late Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymin, one of the leading scholars of this century, was asked about the books of Sayyid Qutb, particularly Fee Thilaalil-Qur'aan (In the Shade of the Qur'aan) and Ma'alim fit-Tariq (Milestones), wherein he replied:
"My statement – may Allaah bless you – is that whoever is sincere to Allaah, His Messenger, and his brother Muslims, then he should encourage the people to read the books of those who have preceded us, from the books of tafsir (explanation of the Qur'aan) and other than (the books of) tafsir. These books contain more blessings, are more beneficial and are much better than the books of the later ones. As for the tafsir of Sayyid Qutb – may Allaah have mercy upon him – then it contains great calamities, however we hope that Allaah pardons him. It contains great calamities…"
Evidently, the senior Salafi scholars have clarified the overabundance of calamitous errors which are contained within Sayyid Qutb's books. They have spoken about the subjects which have been mentioned in this book, and they have spoken about other areas of creed which Qutb fell into error in, which have not been mentioned in this book. Anyone who still insists on hanging on to certain personalities from amongst the Islamic "thinkers" such as Sayyid Qutb, Abu Alaa Maududi, and Hasan al-Banna, and refuses to reject the deviation of the contemporary groups and movements, has removed themselves from the methodology of Salafism, even if they attempt to ascribe themselves to it.

▸ Calls ▸ Patriots draw unusual flag for FG line push, giving Jets 2nd shot in OT
Patriots draw unusual flag for FG line push, giving Jets 2nd shot in OT
by Ben Austro - October 20, 2013 October 20, 2013 7
Week 7: Patriots at Jets
Update: The rule change is included here, which we identified as a point of emphasis, not a rule change. However, it was an additional rule supporting the ones cited.
Update: Added the text of the pool report with referee Jerome Boger.
The Patriots were charged with an unusual penalty, but it is one that should be called on the first drive of the first quarter, or on in overtime. The video from the NFL's Twitter feed:
Patriots get penalized. Jets get a do-over. Pats get 2nd loss. #NEvsNYJ. MUST-SEE: http://t.co/GpcxdcwXcc
— NFL (@nfl) October 20, 2013
There are a whole suite of rules in the "unsportsmanlike conduct" fouls that apply to field-goal attempts. The reason is that there is essentially an overloaded blitz that is unseen on standard scrimmage plays. There have been a collection of kicking play injuries (even on extra-point attempts!), and the league has made kicking-formation injurious situations a point of emphasis at the request of several players.
This specific language was added to the rulebook last year under Rule 9-1-3(b):
(2) Team B [defensive] players cannot push teammates on the line of scrimmage into the offensive formation.
This is in support of the existing unsportsmanlike conduct rules under Rule 12-3-1 regarding the defensive rush:
(n) Jumping or standing on a teammate or opponent to block or attempt to block an opponent's kick.
(o) Placing a hand or hands on a teammate or opponent to gain additional height to block or attempt to block an opponent's kick.
(p) Picking up a teammate to block or attempt to block an opponent's kick.
(q) Running forward and leaping in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or Try Kick and landing on players, unless the leaping player was originally lined up within one yard of the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped.
If you are supporting another player to drive the offensive line, this will be called all the time. It is not a common penalty, either, but, arguably, this can be attributed to special teams players knowing this set of rules specific to those plays.
This doesn't prohibit double blocking or even double attacking. Also, you are not going to see this called a foul during the normal bunch-up that occurs on the line. It will be the deliberate effort of a lineman or linebacker to latch on to a teammate to blow a hole through the kicking team's line that triggers the flag.
Umpire Tony Michalek had his eyes right on the effort of the Patriots rush and did not hesitate to make the call. It isn't clear if any of the Jets special team players gave the officiating crew a "be on the lookout" for this tactic. Michalek is no stranger to the deep recesses of the rulebook, calling a disconcerting signals foul last season on the Buccaneers.
Pool reporter interview with referee Jerome Boger
Q: Please explain the penalty that was called on No. 94 [Patriots defensive tackle Chris Jones] on the field goal.
Boger: The call was that No. 94 on the defense pushed his teammate into the formation. That is a rule change for 2013 that a teammate cannot push a teammate into the opponents' formation.
Q: Is it any type of push? Is it a two-handed push?
Boger: Any push. It could be with the body, not necessarily with the hand, but with the body into his teammate, into the formation. It's any type of pushing action.
Q: Is there anything else to go over with this penalty?
Boger: No, the umpire's flag went up almost instantaneously as he observed the action. We just enforced it as he called it.
Q: And that's a 15-yard penalty —
Boger: For unsportsmanlike conduct.
Quick calls: Week 7
After Further Review: OT flag on new rule draws shrug from Belichick
7 thoughts on "Patriots draw unusual flag for FG line push, giving Jets 2nd shot in OT"
APG says:
I think this post, as it relates to the play in question is discussing the wrong rule. First, the penalty, IMO, was technically unnecessary roughness. The correct rule, IMO, is 9-1-3 b (2):
Team B players cannot push teammates on the line of scrimmage into the offensive formation.
Penalty: For unnecessary roughness: Loss of 15 yards
Ben Austro says:
Thanks, you caught us in the middle of a re-write. I knew there was the rule change, I just never knew where they placed it.
Why would an article on the NFL's own web site have an incorrect wording of the rule? Was it proposed one way and finalized another?
But within two hours of the conclusion of the Patriots-Jets game, the NFL.com article explaining the rule had been altered, the league perhaps sensing that there would be a lot more discussion about Rule 9, Section 1, Article 3 following Sunday's controversial call.
Misinterpretation costly for Belichick, Pats
Yes, it was. When the story on NFL.com was posted, they pulled the wording from the proposal, not from the rulebook. Plus, the wording does get fine-tuned before it goes in the rulebook to make sure that it doesn't create other conflicts with rules or definitions.
