First, let's get the terminology straight. When a beverage is brewed by adding steaming hot water to assorted plants other than true tea (Camellia sinensis), it is technically a tisane. Herb teas or tisanes can be sipped for enjoyment, used medicinally, or created to be part of a menu. In comparison, thirst-quenching infused waters are brewed and consumed cold; you might think of them as the herbal counterpart to cold-brewed coffee. Many infused water recipes include both herbs and fruit, so they make water more colorful and nutritious, too.
Frozen berries enrich infused waters with color, with raspberries producing light pink water compared to the smoky purple from blackberries. You won't need but a few frozen strawberries, blueberries, currants, cranberries or bramble fruits to impart punchy flavor to infused waters. Berries that are too tart to eat straight up work especially well in flavored waters, where their acidic compounds dilute into delightful aromatics.
Now you get to start sipping. Expect flavors that are big and round and linger on the tongue. Most infused waters give off a light fragrance, too, which is part of the fun of making and drinking them. Get creative, try different combinations, and drink to your health.

Everything you need to know about GTA Online: The Contract DLC
Franklin returns with a famous friend.
Christopher Groux
12.8.2021 3:30 PM
Grand Theft Auto Online: The Contract has just been announced by Rockstar Games, and it just might be the multiplayer platform's biggest expansion to date. Below, we outline all you need to know about the new addition to the game including its confirmed release date, plot details, trailer information, and more. If you've been waiting for more single-player content set in the GTA V universe, it's possible this might be the closest thing fans see for quite some time. Dr. Dre is here, and so is Franklin!
When is the GTA Online: The Contract release date?
Announced by Rockstar Games on December 5, GTA Online: The Contract is set to launch on December 15 on all platforms GTA Online is available. Provided it follows the same release schedule of other significant GTA Online expansions, fans can expect to download it between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Eastern on the day of release.
Is there a GTA Online: The Contract trailer?
Yes! Rockstar released a minute-long trailer for the DLC that you can watch below.
The official trailer for GTA Online: The Contract
What is the GTA Online: The Contract story?
As indicated by an official press release, GTA Online: The Contract follows campaign character Franklin Clinton in the years after the events of the main game. He's moved on from the Union Depository and now runs a "celebrity solutions agency" called F. Clinton and Partner. The group is designed to help Vinewood's wealthiest residents solve their high-society problems.
Franklin has a new business venture, but he needs a high-profile client to make it happen. Rockstar Games
To start his business Franklin needs two things: a partner, and a big client worthy of advertising his brand in a positive light. That's where Dr. Dre comes in. While on his way to Cayo Perico, Dre's phone makes its way into the wrong hands. Worse yet, said phone features a wide assortment of unreleased tracks not yet meant for public consumption. With his fledgling business venture in mind, Franklin sets his sights on solving Dre's problem. This contract will reportedly take Franklin from his old neighborhood to the hottest parties in the city, and even to the offices of the FBI.
What's included in GTA Online: The Contract DLC?
We don't know much beyond the above-listed plot, which we assume will factor into the main heist included with the expansion. GTA Online just wrapped up its Heist Month festivities, so what better way to continue the platform's legacy than to add onto it with a totally new quest?
A first look at one of the new weapons coming in the expansion. Rockstar Games
The expansion is also said to feature several character cameos including Imani, Chop the Dog, and more, so we'll see how those additions might contribute to additional missions and content included with the DLC. Rockstar has said players will be able to purchase and steal new weapons and vehicles too.
What music will be featured in GTA Online: The Contract?
Dre has new music debuting exclusively in GTA Online. Rockstar Games
While Rockstar has yet to announce a full list of tracks, the publisher has said the Contract will feature a new radio station with "exciting special guest hosts" as well as huge updates to existing radio stations. Among those updates, the game will add new and exclusive tracks from Dr. Dre.
Haven't we heard something about Dr. Dre in GTA before?
Yup! Dre was already featured in last year's Cayo Perico Heist, and Take-Two's registration of the rapponator.com domain led some "insiders" to believe the iconic rapper might somehow be involved with GTA 6. Back in October, Rolling Stone exclusively reported that Dre was working on new music for Grand Theft Auto. Given what we now know, this is presumably the music he was working on.

OSBORN, Thomas Noel
Source: Crawfordsville Journal Review 9-Feb-1970 page 4
T. Noel Osborn, 61, 8 Country Club Terrace, died at 12:30 p.m. Sunday in St. Elizabeth Hospital at Lafayette. Mr. Osborn was a partner with his brother, Marion, in the Hillsboro Lumber Co. and had been in the lumber business at Veedersburg, Covington and Hillsboro since his graduation from Ohio State University in 1931. He also was the owner of Country Club Meadow subdivision west of Crawfordsville. He resided in Hillsboro for many years before moving to Crawfordsville. He was a member of the Elks Club here, Christian Church at Hillsboro and Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. Born Aug. 27, 1908, at Hillsboro, he was a son of Freeman and Sue Weidman Osborn. Survivors include his wife, the former Hariett Butler; a son, Thomas N. Osborn II of Boulder, Colo.; three brothers, Marion of Hillsboro, Sheldon of Seattle, Wash., and Dale of Santa Rosa, Calif.; two stepsons, Robert Townsend of Crawfordsville and Larry Townsend of Downers Grove, Ill.; and a sister, Miss Lois Osborn of Hillsboro. Mr. Osborn donated his body to the Indiana University Medical Center for medical education and research. He also donated his eyes to the eye bank at Indianapolis. Memorial services will be conducted at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Hillsboro Christian Church with Rev. James Whitaker officiating.

Is the Download Center updated manually? It is missing AF Client 2012 SP2 released on the 20th.
It can be downloaded now.
Are there any command line switches for the self-extracting executable to specify the destination for extracting files to? The usual suspect command line switches do not work.
well, double click the download file to extract the installation file is the generally way, and it will go to the executable file automatically. The OSIsoft download file could be unzipped by winrar, you could try that one the command line, but I never used this.
The self extracting EXE is created using 7-Zip and is configured to use the 'Temp' environment variable for the directory to extract the files. So you could set the 'Temp' environment variable to the desired directory before executing. Or you can use the 7-Zip command line utility and specify the output directory with the -o option as follows: "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x AFClient_2012_SP2_.exe -oC:\Tmp.
Thanks David. Was hoping I didn't need to install another tool to extract due to the environment I'm working in.
I wanted to develop a PowerShell mechanism to automatically deploy certain updates (like AFClient 2012 SP2) silently and then configure appropriately as part of a larger PowerShell script; extraction from the exe is my only stumbling block, silent installation works fine. Don't have 7-Zip as part of our infrastructure yet.
The following link has a reference for the command line switches: http://7zsfx.info/en.
David, that worked beautifully. I owe you a beer.
It also worked for the PowerShell Tools for the PI System, same installer, and for some older products they were WinZip self-extracting executables which were easy to handle.

About the Book About the Author Reviews Related Books
Under what conditions were limited forms of self-government possible in medieval and early modern Europe? While many historians have sought an answer by investigating the development of parliamentary institutions in emerging national monarchies and the wider autonomy enjoyed by various city-states within their own borders, James D. Tracy concentrates instead on a relatively neglected phenomenon at an intermediate level of political organization—the self-governing province. Focusing on the province of Holland during the reigns of Charles V and Philip II (1506–1566), Tracy argues convincingly that Holland effectively underwent an apprenticeship in self-government.
The seven provinces of the Dutch Republic—among which Holland was the richest and most populous—were the first in history to govern themselves by a consensus among their towns and nobles. The foundations for this internal cohesion were put in place long before the Dutch Revolt; first by medieval provincial dynasties, then by the dukes of Burgundy, and finally by the House of Habsburg. At the turn of the sixteenth century, Holland was urbanized to a surprising degree, with over forty percent of its population residing in some thirty small and mid-sized towns. Forced by external threats to rise above their economic rivalries, the towns joined together through the forum of the provincial parliament, or States of Holland, which came to assume a primary role in the management of public finances.
While noting that the growing autonomy of Holland did not make the Dutch Revolt inevitable, Tracy points out that the revolt could hardly have succeeded without provinces that already had a tradition of managing their own affairs. In the broader context of European political institutions, the circumstances that permitted the provincial states to assume many of the functions of government illustrate not only the capacity for self-government but also the formation of genuine body politics.

James D. Tracy is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Minnesota and the author of A Financial Revolution in the Habsburg Netherlands: Renten and Renteniers in the County of Holland, 1515–1565 and two other books.
"Very little work has been done on tracing the development of the form of government that was to become characteristic of the Dutch Republic during its 'Golden Age.' The discussion of the development of representative institutions in the Low Countries within a European-wide comparative framework is valuable. . . . [Holland's] structure of representation came to differ significantly from its neighbors. It was not supposed to work, according to political theory of the time, and yet it did. Learning how it came about helps to understand how it managed to stand as the only viable form of political organization outside of increasing royal absolutism in early modern times."—William H.

I wasn't a big fan of strategy guides, but yes, I do miss manuals. They were a nice addition. I would spend a great amount of time reading them before playing.
Some Wii games had great ones like the first No More Heroes comic book manual.
Yes strategy guides were hit or miss, but there was still some good ones. Yes I really miss manuals too. I wouldn't always read them before I played a game, but usually after. The sixth and early 7th generation of gaming were the last to really have gaming manuals.
Yeah. I think some of the latest Xbox 360 games already had very thin manuals. Nintendo then started making electronic manuals.
Yeah the later Xbox 360 and PS3 games had very thin manuals. Basiclly just a tiny booklet explaining the controls and maybe the story of the game. Yeah I know the 3DS has electronic manuals, I assume the Switch does as well? I wish physical copies of games still came with manuals. I know some Steam games have digital manuals in the form of a PDF file.
Yeah, I guess so, even if I can't tell for sure since I don't have any Switch games (of course I don't have the console either).
PDF manuals are a good idea though.
Yeah I plan on getting a switch, but I don't know if the games have physical manuals or they're digital. It is nice that the game has a manual even if digital in PDF form. I will of course always like physical manuals.
Me too. However, as long as I know, Switch games come out with nothing else than the game cartridge. The cover is double faced though.
Yeah. I plan on getting a Switch when I can. I would hope that physical manuals make a comeback, but that doesen't seem likely. I know Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash on the Ps4 and Monster Boy: The Cursed Kingdom came with physical manuals which was also on the PS4. Though they are kinda simple compared to manuals of the older generations.
Me too. Yeah, physical support for games is going through the same way, but, you know, never say never.
Yeah I really hope the PS5 will still have physical copies of games. I really don't want games to be all digital. I don't have the Internet for all physical gams. Who knows, maybe manuals will make a comeback.
Yeah, however sometimes digital games are cheaper. Anyways, I totally prefer physical copies. Artbooks in limited editions are a good compromise for the lack of manuals.
True, digital games can be cheaper. Yeah some limited editions have cool artbooks and may even manuals and might come with a strategy guide. I also always prefer physical copies.
Yeah. However, I still don't like the new trend of some late games, which come out in physical copies but require almost the whole game to be downloaded.
True, good point. I also don't like that as well. The game comes in physical form, but you have to download a large portion of it. I remember Red Dead Redemption II came with two discs, an install disc and a gameplay disc. I would rather prefer that then downloading a ton of the game.

Jaffe wins 2022 Glenn Howze Academic Freedom Award
The Auburn University Chapter of the American Association of University Professors, or AAUP, has awarded the Glenn Howze Academic Freedom Award to Associate Professor Emeritus Robin Jaffe.
The Glenn Howze Academic Freedom Award is presented annually to a person who has demonstrated high ethical standards and professionalism in their field of specialization and has also made significant contributions to advocating for, protecting and extending academic freedom at the University.
Jaffe was recognized with the AAUP's Glenn Howze Academic Freedom Award for the manner of leadership he provided over the course of his career and afterward to support academic freedom, shared governance and faculty due process rights through his various roles with the Auburn chapter of AAUP. He was recognized for the constant, consistent, quiet, respectful advocacy he provided for faculty for more than 30 years.
Jaffe worked tirelessly to develop positive relationships across campus with all stakeholders to effectively advocate for all faculty. He used a global perspective and institutional knowledge and memory to help provide context during conflicts and controversy and to support positive outcomes for all parties when possible. It is for these reasons that the chapter honored him with the award.
Jaffe is an associate professor emeritus in the Department of Theatre and Dance. He began his career at Auburn University in 1992 and retired in January 2022.
While at Auburn, he served as the production manager and faculty technical director. He worked as a scenic, lighting and/or sound designer for more than 40 Auburn Theatre productions, as well as technical director for more than 100 university productions and events since his arrival in 1992.
Jaffe also served as the facilities/administration project advisor for the College of Liberal Arts, having advised on projects since 2011 totaling more than $100 million. During his time at the university, he served in a variety of other roles critical to shared governance through the AAUP chapter and the University Senate.


Shabana Azmi has predicted that superstar Shah Rukh Khan's daughter, Suhana Khan, will be a 'good' actor.
The Neerja actress took to Twitter to compliment Suhana.
"Mark my words #SuhanaKhan is going to be a seriously good actor. I've watched a short clip of her acting and it was terrific. Bless her," added Shabana.
To this proud father superstar Shah Rukh Khan replied, "How sweet are you to say that. And of course when you say it then it's big encouragement for the little one. Thanks."
Earlier this year, Suhana's acting skills received rave reviews after a short clip of her school play went viral on the social media.

Toray Pan Pacific Open 2016 byl tenisový turnaj pořádaný jako součást ženského okruhu WTA Tour, který se hrál na otevřených dvorcích s tvrdým povrchem s centrkurtem v aréně Ariake Coliseum. Probíhal mezi 17. až 25. zářím 2016 v japonské metropoli Tokiu jako třicátý třetí ročník turnaje. Navazoval tak na turnaj nižší kategorie Japan Women's Open, hraný ve stejném dějišti o týden dříve.

Turnaj s rozpočtem 1 000 000 dolarů se v rámci okruhu řadil do kategorie WTA Premier. Nejvýše nasazenou hráčkou ve dvouhře se stala světová trojka Garbiñe Muguruzaová ze Španělska. Jako poslední přímá účastnice do dvouhry nastoupila 56. hráčka žebříčku Varvara Lepčenková ze Spojených států, která v úvodním kole uhrála jen tři gamy na olympijskou vítězku Mónicu Puigovou.

Na druhé tokijské vítězství dosáhla Dánka Caroline Wozniacká, která tak ukončila 17měsíční čekání na trofej a měla jistotu alespoň jednoho titulu v deváté sezóně bez přerušení. Deblovou trofej si odvezl indicko-český pár Sania Mirzaová a Barbora Strýcová, které získaly druhý společný titul. Mirzaová ovládla tokijský turnaj potřetí ze čtyř předešlých ročníků.

John Hurt, Star of '1984′, 'Alien' & 'The Elephant Man,' Passes at 77
Natalie Wardle January 28, 2017 February 15, 2017 art, film
The British actor of stage and screen who received an Academy Award nomination for 'Midnight Express' and famously appeared in the film adaptation of George Orwell's '1984,' 'Alien,' and Quentin Crisp in 'The Naked Civil Servant.' The actor, had battled with both cancer and an intestinal complaint in recent years.
The Naked Civil Servant (1975)
John Hurt, whose career spanned over six decades known for his hypnotic tones and weathered visage — one that was kept hidden for his most acclaimed role, that of the deformed John Merrick in David Lynch's The Elephant Man — has died, according to reports from several British newspapers. He was 77.
He announced in June 2015 that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
On screen, Hurt died what seemed a thousand deaths. "I think I've got the record," he once said. "It got to a point where my children wouldn't ask me if I died, but rather how do you die?"
On his YouTube page, a video titled "The Many Deaths of John Hurt" compiled his cinematic demises in 4 minutes and 30 seconds, from The Wild and the Willing (1962) to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), 40 in all.
One of his most memorable came when he played Kane, the first victim in Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), in which he collapses over a table and a snakelike alien bursts out of his chest. (How'd they do that? There was an artificial chest screwed to the table, and Hurt was underneath.)
𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧, 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟗
"Ridley didn't tell the cast," executive producer Ronald Shusett told Empire magazine in 2009. "He said, 'They're just going to see it.' "
"The reactions were going to be the most difficult thing," Scott explained. "If an actor is just acting terrified, you can't get the genuine look of raw, animal fear. What I wanted was a hardcore reaction."
Hurt then lampooned the famous torso-busting scene for director Mel Brooks — whose production company produced 1980's The Elephant Man — for the 1987 comedy Spaceballs.
The Elephant Man received eight Academy Award nominations, including one for Hurt as best actor, but went home empty on Oscar night. (Hurt lost out to Robert De Niro as boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull.)
In 1980, he recalled the extensive makeup needed to become the kind-hearted man with the monstrous skull.
"It never occurred to me it would take eight hours for them to apply the full thing — virtually a working day in itself. There were 16 different pieces to that mask," he said. "With all that makeup on, I couldn't be sure what I was doing. I had to rely totally on [Lynch]."
Hurt also garnered an Oscar best supporting actor nomination and a Golden Globe win in 1979 for Midnight Express, in which he portrayed a heroin addict in a Turkish prison. The Alan Parker drama was based on the true story of Billy Hayes (played by Brad Davis), an American college student caught smuggling drugs.
"I loved making Midnight Express," he said in 2014. "We were making commercial films then that really did have cracking scenes in them, as well as plenty to say, you know?"
His more recent film appearances came in Snowpiercer (2013), The Journey (2016) and Jackie (2016). He is set to be seen in the upcoming features That Good Night and My Name Is Lenny and was to play Neville Chamberlain in the upcoming Joe Wright drama Darkest Hour.
John Vincent Hurt was born Jan. 22, 1940, in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England. He studied art at his parents' behest, earning an art teacher's diploma. Disillusioned with the prospect of becoming a teacher, Hurt moved to London, where he won an acting scholarship at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He studied there for two years, securing bit parts in TV shows.
"I wanted to act very early. I didn't know how to become an actor, as such, nor did I know that it was possible to be a professional actor, but I first decided that I wanted to act when I was 9," he told The Guardian in 2000. "I was effused with a feeling of complete and total enjoyment, and I felt that's where I should be."
Hurt made his London stage debut in Infanticide in the House of Fred Ginger in 1962. That year, he acted in his first film, The Wild and the Willing, and his role as the duplicitous baron Richard Rich in Oscar best picture winner A Man for All Seasons helped him become more widely known in the U.S.
Hurt often played wizened, sinister characters. In his younger years, his wiry frame, sallow skin and beady eyes curled together in performances that bespoke menace and hard-wrought wisdom. He was especially effective playing psychologically ravaged characters, like when he was a jockey plagued with cancer in Champions (1984) or the viciously decadent Caligula in the 1976 BBC miniseries I, Claudius.
Hurt brought his peculiarly powerful persona to the role of Mr. Ollivander in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) and Part 2 (2011).
He also had a recurring role as Trevor "Broom" Bruttenholm in Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) and was the voice of the character in the 2007 TV movie Hellboy Animated: Blood and Iron.
Other film credits include The Sailor From Gibraltar (1967), Sinful Davey (1969), 10 Rillington Place (1971), The Osterman Weekend (1983), White Mischief (1987), King Ralph (1991) and Rob Roy (1995). He played a fascist leader of Great Britain in V for Vendetta (2006) and was Professor Oxley in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008).
Hurt also was known for his rich, nicotine-toned timbre, which won him many voiceover assignments. He was the narrator in The Tigger Movie (2000), Dogville (2003), Manderlay (2005) and Charlie Countryman (2013) and lent his dulcet utterances to The Lord of the Rings (1978), Watership Down (1978), The Black Cauldron (1985), Thumbelina (1994) and the Oscar-nominated short film The Gruffalo (2009).
"I have always been aware of voice in film. I think that it's almost 50 percent of your equipment [as an actor]," he once said. "It's as important as what you look like, certainly on stage and possibly on film as well. If you think of any of the great American stars, you think of their voices and their looks, any of them — from Clark Gable to Rock Hudson."
For the small screen, Hurt starred in the TV shows The Storyteller, The Alan Clark Diaries, The Confession and Merlin and in the miniseries Crime and Punishment and Labyrinth. He notably played the War Doctor in the 2013-14 season of Doctor Who.
On participating in the Whovian fandom, Hurt said in 2013: "I've done a couple of conferences where you sit and sign autographs for people and then you have photographs taken with them and a lot of them are all dressed up in alien suits or Doctor Who whatevers. I was terrified of doing it because I thought they'd all be loonies, but they are absolutely, totally charming as anything. I'm not saying it's the healthiest thing — I don't know whether it is or isn't — but they are very charming."
The accomplished stage actor performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. In 1994, he starred opposite Helen Mirren in Bill Bryden's West End production of A Month in the Country, and he scraped out an edgy and vigorously dour performance in Samuel Beckett's autobiographical one-man drama Krapp's Last Tape in 1999.
In 2012, Hurt was honored with a lifetime achievement award by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, then was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in July 2015.

If you have been charged with a DUI in San Diego County, a DMV hearing is required to determine whether your license will be suspended.
You need to call the DMV within 10 days to set up your hearing. The best idea is to hire an experienced San Diego DMV Hearings Attorney to do this for you. If you are facing a DMV hearing, call Ozols Law Firm today for a free consultation.
Whether you were driving the vehicle.
Whether there was probable cause for your arrest.
Whether you were driving the vehicle above 0.08.
(1) Were you driving the vehicle?
In San Diego, the standard to determine if you were driving the vehicle is "volitional movement." This does not mean that you were only "operating a motor vehicle." This also does not mean that you were just sitting in a motor vehicle. It means that the vehicle must have actually moved. This is a hard standard to prove in California and it is often proved by circumstantial evidence.
(2) Was there probable cause for the stop?
Although the standard under the law is actually "reasonable suspicion" for the stop and probable cause for the arrest, the DMV combines these two issues.
The officers need to actually have an objective reason for your stop, not a subjective belief, if not you could have a positive advantage in your case. If the officers pulled someone over because they said they were speeding but have no proof then the hearing will be "set aside". If they just admit to pulling someone over without any reason then a hearing officer will see that and not suspend the license of the driver.
The test is either a blood or breath test and you should see the section on DUIs to learn more. Both tests have issues and all these issues can be used to prove your innocence.
When someone is under the age of 21 and they are accused of a DUI the DMV has the power to suspend their license for 1 year without any chance at getting a restricted license. Even more powerful is the DMV only needs to make a finding that the individual was a 0.01 or above which is a very low standard. Common issues that experienced DMV hearing attorneys use is to object to documents coming in, make other evidentiary objections and to challenge the probable cause or the illegal detention in the case. If you have been charged with a DUI then there is a lot more at stake than just your criminal record, it is also your license.
If you are a commercial driver and you are accused of a DUI then literally your entire life, your entire career is on the line. It can't be emphasized enough how important it is to have a DMV hearing and have an expert criminal attorney represent you so that you have the best possible chance at winning your hearing. In a commercial driver hearing the standard is much lower at a 0.04. This is generally a lot easier for the DMV and requires someone to really fight for your rights. If your commercial driver's license gets suspended then you can only apply for a non- commercial license and get a restricted license under that one but cannot drive as a commercial driver.
For a DMV hearing a "set aside" is a term used by the DMV to express that they are not going to suspend the license of the driver. This set aside means basically that at this point they do not have enough evidence to move forward on the action but they will wait until the court makes a decision.
Most drivers do not understand that the DMV and the court process are two completely different processes that are unrelated. The DMV grants a license when a driver passes a test. The DMV as an administrative agency has a right to take a way that license that they granted to the individual.
For the driver there is a protection though which they are afforded because of the Due Process Clause of the constitution. The Due Process Clause notes that when you have a benefit taken away from you for example a government benefit like a driver's license then before they can take it away from you, you have a right to a hearing. That is why the DMV hearing takes place.
However, even though you have a right to a hearing, you are not afforded the same protections as in a criminal case. The DMV hearing can have witnesses but there is a "relaxed evidence code" and thing that would normally be considered hearsay, like police documents, are admitted. Documents can also be admitted without the proper foundation as well.
If the DMV decides to suspend your license, that does not have any affect whatsoever at your subsequent court hearing. The court hearing is completely different where you are afforded all of the due process protections. You have a right to a lawyer, there will be a judge, and a jury of 12 peers that decide your case.
Unlike the DMV hearing, the court system is also a lot more responsive to the actual characteristics of the individual. For example, whether you are in the military, have a family, or are in school. This is a very complicated process and anyone going through it should certainly have the guidance of an experienced lawyer in this area.
This is powerful information that the DMV does not make you aware of, so if you have been charged with a DUI then pay attention. When one's license is suspended at a DMV hearing then the DMV sends them something in the mail saying their license is suspended for 5 months. Most people think the matter is over and that they are out of options.
Only the best criminal defense attorneys in San Diego know that if done properly you can get a restricted license within 30 days of that suspension. All one has to do is set up an appointment with the DMV on the 30th day, get an SR-22 (an additional layer of insurance usually around $25 a month), and enroll in DUI classes.
One only needs to enroll and doesn't actually need to start the classes. If they do this, then on that 30th day they will get a restricted license from the DMV that they can use to drive within the course and scope of employment and to DUI programs.
Course and scope of employment is a pretty broad term that basically means to and from work but it does encompass anything that has to do with employment. If your license has been suspended, it helps to have an attorney on your side to guide you through this process and get you driving again so you can continue with your life.
If you have any questions about this process, Ozols Law Firm can help. DMV Hearings are an important of the process if you have been arrested for DUI. If you have been arrested you need to call the DMV within 10 days to set up your hearing. The best idea is to hire an experienced San Diego DMV Hearings attorney to do this for you.


What do you think of Kevin Feige's official name for the first run of Marvel Studios film? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!
These movies aren't really that connected, even though they like to say that they are.
LOL! OK… The most successful film franchise in history is not that good according to Mr. Perfect Producer. Maybe you'd like to point out what other franchises have done it better?
Where did i ever say anything about their individual qualities?
I never said you did; you said "These movies aren't really that connected"; I challenged you to point out who has done it better and how… and you never could.
Finacially yeah. If that's your go to. That's how it works. Buy a ticket and you get to have your full opinion after. There's plenty of audiences who are not fans. I'd say even with under 9 films star wars does it better.
Financially AND critically… Only a small minority of the general audience dislikes it, sometimes purely because of some stupid rivalry issue between DC and Marvel.
You couldn't even point out how the Star Wars universe is better connected than the MCU; the only Star Wars films that have ever worked are the ones centered around one of the characters; not exactly the model of a "connected universe". The MCU has interwoven several different stories that can stand on their own, from several kinds of unrelated characters and built it into a truly universal saga.
From every film?. No. This is false. Starwars did do it better 30 years ago. The phantom menace sequels were better connected, there is no need for an example here, you can literally watch these and it's in plain sight. Nothing makes sense with the jedi portrayal in the new 'saga'.
So like I said, you can't even prove Star Wars has done a better shared universe than Marvel.
You can't with marvel either. Just because something does well at the box office doesn't mean it's amazing, much like star wars. I'm not trying to take away the fact that marvel have achieved 22 films which they have tried to interconnect and make an absolute packet from it. My opinion is that they are not perfectly done, again quality not quantity. There's things I don't like how they've developed for their characters – and their sequels to origin stories aren't always necesscary and to me feel like another number to add to the profile rather than a great movie, relying on great actors to portray amazing villains (in the comics) which are completely disregarded on screen. I don't know why conflicting opinions annoy you so much. Star wars can do direct sequels/ origin stories and not manage to over saturate the movie with over the top character development and maintain absolute balance with its main story-telling.
Nobody ever said they were perfect; in fact, the OP subject wasn't about the quality at all. We were talking strictly about creating a shared, connected universe, and the undisputed truth is that Marvel has set the benchmark for a mega franchise of interconnected storytelling. The OP said "These movies aren't really that connected"; unless you have evidence backing up that claim, you have to agree Marvel has done a shared universe better than anyone, ever.
Okay, these movies are connected although not every single one. But could be done alot better. As for stating they are a benchmark, again in terms of quantity, you are absolutely right. Imo of quality, there are better which have been done already/previously with fewer movie sagas/series.
I can agree that they haven't been perfect; Michael Jordan didn't hit every shot, and even Tom Brady has lost some big games. Marvel hasn't been perfect either, but like Jordan and Brady, they're still the best to ever do it.
Star Wars has always followed a single plot line. The MCU has several different plotlines running contiguously through their movies from the beginning; the definition of a shared universe.
Therefore, by virtue of actually being a shared universe from the ground up, (unlike Star Wars), the MCU has done it better.
I agree, there's some unnecessary MCU movies which don't play much of a part. Civil War. Iron Man 3, Iron Man 2, Winter Soldier, Thor Ragnarok, Guardians 2. Haven't seen captain Marvel yet.
Age of Ultron, Thor2, Guardians1, Dr.Strange, Hulk, Black Panther and both Ant-Man movies but on the other hand, i think Winter Soldier and Civil War have plenty of connections to the bigger universe.
So in your opinion, if every movie doesn't have a direct impact on one specific plot line, it's not "connected"?
Obviously not as much as you think they are. Each to their own.
Who's done it better? Please give specific examples/details of how other shared universes have been more "connected" than the MCU.
Star wars, planet of the apes, back to future. Are all direct sequels which follow on exactly from where they left off, or otherwise stated a few more years later. The direct sequels of individual characters or groups in marvel are not all necesscary, as they do not all do this – even though they attempt to make it feel like they do. That is clearly an opinion which yours conflicts with yours. You could watch all the avengers movies and only need a select few of the rest of the movies (mostly origin) and you can understand everything still. (Examples of movies not needed are Ant Man, iron man 2, iron man 3, guardians of the galaxy 2, age of Ultron, black panther, homecoming, Thor Ragnarok, and it pains me to say it as its in my top 3 is winter soldier) – there are elements which contribute but the it's all about quality not quantity.
Are all direct sequels which follow on exactly from where they left off, or otherwise stated a few more years later.
LOL! Like every sequel ever… Nothing of the scope and magnitude of the MCU and it's multiple character storylines intersecting and weaving into each other. Planet of the Apes and Back to the Future are NOT a "shared universe"; and even in the case of the former's recent prequels, any similarity between it and the MCU is a result of Marvel Studios changing the game and making a mega franchise more appealing. HeII, PotA even had to reboot several times until they got their act together… AFTER the MCU. So if you were hoping to use that franchise (or Back to the Future, which only ever revolved around a single character) as an example of a better shared universe, it clearly demonstrates you're grasping. Try again.
That's another point you make, it's hardly shared if it's all part of the same thing??. The TV/Netflix series were the only thing that I'd say is shared… But yet again. You're telling me that the primary focus on these movies I'm speaking of is a singular character – you are completely undermining the other characters in these movies. I'm hardly grasping, you're just annoyed that I'm pointing out similar facts which conflict with your undying love for marvel. I'm not even undermining what they've achieved. I'm repeating myself but it feels necesscary that regards to accomplishing and publishing all this content, it is not unique. It's been done before, but marvel are simply mass producing it. X men was the first to have a shared universe by the way, it was awful none the less. But you are far too biased anyway for me to explain myself.
First you started arguing that the MCU wasn't "connected" enough… Then you started arguing that it wasn't "good enough"… Now you're arguing that it's not "unique"… When I ask you to back up your claims, but instead you change the subject into different charges, you're pretty much grasping for an argument.
I've argued already, it's not thoroughly connected within some of its movies – not every single one!!!. It's like saying all the Disney movies are connected or a Reddit thread assuming a connection of all of trrantino movies, of course that's a major exaggeration, but theres unnecesscary movies within the marvel universe which as a 2half hour film have minimal impact. Which to me equates to my opinion as a whole, as a preference – I like alot more universes, I don't think it's as good as it's hyped, it's unique in its sheer scale, not in its ability to create constant high stakes content which have an impact and constant connection. Nothings changed here. You are just not liking the answers I'm giving you.
C) You can't even provide a single instance of a shared universe doing what you say the MCU should be doing, which in itself is proof of how ridiculous your demands are.
Ah man, you're really hurt I'm not a fan. Plot holes and distinction of story-telling trough crweateing a connection of movies through a post credits scene, from watching a previous sequence of wvents fr two hours which haven't had a direct connection from one film to the other is not my idea of a through connection. Maybe you think I'm justaying they're not connected, still???. I said before and above, the majority are!!!, What is wrong with you?. I just have no appreation for noticible flawing and story plot holes, within a movie universe that claims connection throughout its entirety.
All MCU films, by definition, are connected… You don't get to redefine the meaning of words to whatever your "idea of a through connection" is. Language is not a matter of opinion; that's why there's a dictionary.
I probably have no more experience than you do. These are merely my opinions. Bottom line I prefer so I'm marvel movies rather than as a collective, because through what I've explained, have unnesscary content. Lol!, I'm not taking away what marvel have achieved. I've said above, they are the first to do it with the amount of movies/scale they've done. In terms of story depiction I am on the fence as I just prefer others and I have stated there ones I prefer. What is your deal lol.
So you don't really have a reason to say Marvel movies aren't connected, or that any of them are unnecessary; it's just an empty phrase that means nothing to you except for making your objections seem more sensible. If you don't like Marvel movies, that's fine. Just don't pretend like they have a significant cinematic flaw that doesn't allow you to enjoy them.
They're hardly dismissable. And yes, not as much as I could be.
You're basically taking the solo movies and saying they're not important because they don't directly impact the Infinity War arc, which is laughably wrong. Ever heard of character development?
That's literally the worst excuse for lazy writing and stroy-telling but for your own plausibility of your own opinion for saying they are 'great'. There's character development and then there's stringing everything out as much as you can unnecesscarily. I've said before if you don't know your characters already from watching two and a half hours of screen time, then stick to postman pat.
Your validation of your point lies only with iron man 3. Explain how much Tony stark changed in iron man 2 or ant Man and the Wasp, guardians of the galaxy. We know who they all are. You need to know what character development actually is before you continue further. Your last part of your comment is extremely ironic at this point… Feel free to continue raging at conflicting opinions over fictional characters.
Ah… so now you're preparing to dismiss my argument because it's all about "fictional characters", so therefore storytelling standards based on real life, known anthropological behavior don't apply, right?
Lol, you're twisting alot here, I'm hardly dismissing your argument, where have I done that?. I realise what we are discussing here. I'm not the one saying human experiences equates to your own validation fort opposing opinions. You ultimately switched the argument. So now you want to discuss human behaviour to fictional characters. Sure, it's good to have that relatability, but having none works as well. My comment was more aimed at your inability to argue points and leaning towards insulting assumptions. Your lack of explanation/response for the body of my main points above regarding characters in their sequels says it all.
You're the one who made the sarcastic remark at the end of your previous comment preempting the counterargument as a trivial matter. That's a common way to dismiss the deeper, more weighted arguments when you can't rebut them.
All of those movies either pushed the character they're centered on forward, or affect another story somewhere down the line. Iron Man 2 developed Tony Stark's character, Iron Man 3 further developed Tony and impacted Winter Soldier, which developed Captain America and impacted Civil War, which impacted Infinity War. Ragnarok also impacted Infinity War by way of advancing Thor's character. I could keep going in detail about how the entire MCU is connected, but I hardly have time to talk about all of them. Suffice it to say there's plenty of evidence out there to confidently say you're wrong.
And in terms of story telling those miniscule connections do not amount to 2 and a half hours of rubbish. Ragnarok: Thor's sister all of a sudden turning up, they are killing hulks character, he looks like a childish joke, nothing is set up until the end. As for iron mans and caps they are literally irrelevant to the story of how infinity war played out. Because they would have ended up in different places regardless. There is logic to your points but there are too many flaws and things put in the sequels to outweigh everything, thus being just dragged out, creating less significance than actually portraying to be significant.
As for Iron Man and Captain America being irrelevant to how Infinity War played out… That's like saying any character driving the plot in a movie who loses, whether it's the good guy or bad guy, somehow it means they're irrelevant to the story… Again, just bad logic. Please come back only when you're ready to talk about how each movie impacts the other, not the characters you don't like.
No no, feel free to go into detail. Your impact you speak of is about 2 minutes of actual storytelling per movie. To say it's connected for minimal development because something like, Tony made a new triangular reactor or the fact that you rely on 'character development' as an excuse of 'advancing' is bad writing. If you don't know you're characters already from 2 hours of screen time, then saying that is just an excuse for why you think it's good as an opinion, this does not mean it's great – because in hignsight, it is a massive waste of time and completely stringing out movies for the sake of it, to then add a pinch of something to state it's then 'connected to everything' is bad quality of story telling. Note: also an opinion.
You clearly love marvel. I love alot of their movies, but I'm not blind to see flaws for the sake of stating a connection and everything means something, because not everything in these movies do, this is why some are relevant some are not that necesscary.
Your problem is that you believe all character development should be done in 2 hours, and any further changes as a result of additional conflict is "unnecessary". Which is absolutely nonsensical and belies an incomprehensible lack of understanding about human nature, both of the audience and of the films' subjects.
It's very achievable, character development is where we see changes and growth. Thor is a good example of this because he actually does. Iron Man experiences a little anxiety and insomnia but he is still the same really, cap is the same, gotg same, black panther same, Spiderman same, vision actually changes and so does s. Witch a little. Ant Man hardly, Hulk.. dont even go there. Im excited for endgame because we will see different versions of these chatracters, I hope. But there's fleshing out a story with its character having to accomodate to its stakes and then theirs stories accomodating to their characters – marvel does the latter, with some acceptions – which is boring. I think you need to learn how to accept people's points of how films and stories are made/developed, and prepare yourself going forward into the future knowing that not everyone's going to agree with you. You are very articulate though.
Tony Stark is not the same person he was from the first Iron Man film. Neither is Captain America the same character from his intro movie. Same for every character you mentioned. That's just demonstrable fact. And it's not a matter of opinion because the Tony Stark of the first movie, even by the film's end, didn't care about anything but his own fame and ego; you may superficially see Stark making witty banter and think he's the same person, but what you're looking at is personality. That has nothing to do with the kind of person he is, because the weapon builder Stark of old would've never cared to help the government catch Captain America in Civil War, or fund the Avengers instead of pushing his own celebrity because he knows it's necessary. That's real growth. And that's just one example of what's common in the MCU, not as an opinion.
You see minimal, you have to assume the majority of this. You treatise this right??.
Then it should be extremely easy for you to find any single quote where I suggested this. Of course, I know you couldn't do it (and won't be able to) because it doesn't exist.

More HIV infections found among elderly in China | Inquirer News
More HIV infections found among elderly in China
China Daily/Asia News Network / 04:26 PM December 02, 2020

BEIJING — Elderly people have become the group that saw the fastest growth in reported HIV infections in China, with a 500 percent increase in the number of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases among men aged 60 or above between 2010 and last year, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday, World AIDS Day.
Around 37,000 people aged 60 or above in China were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS last year-77 percent of them being men-accounting for 25 percent of the total number of reported new HIV cases, the WHO said.
Unsafe sex was the major cause of HIV infections among elderly men, with 60 percent of them claiming to have got infected via commercial sex activities, and 30 percent saying they got infected via non-commercial sex, such as extramarital sex, the WHO said in a report.
In all, 150,000 people in China were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS last year, and the total reported number of people living with HIV/AIDS reached 960,000 by the end of last year, the WHO said.
Globally, 1.7 million people were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS last year, and 690,000 died due to AIDS-related diseases, according to the WHO.
Although the number of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in China has been rising in recent years, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in China remains at a low level, compared with most other countries, according to the National Health Commission.
However, the infection rate among elderly people, especially elderly men, has increased at a much faster rate over the past 10 years compared with the general increase among the whole population.
Tao Lin, a researcher at Peking University's Sexology Research Center, said that compared with younger groups such as college students, the increase in HIV infections among elderly people has not received equal attention from the public.
"Most elderly people who got infected with HIV are males, because in general males are more sexually active at an older age and tend to seek extramarital sex for satisfaction," he said. "Due to rising living standards, more elderly people have more money and free time, but some of them do not have adequate awareness of safe sex."
Compared with young people, many retired people may show less restraint in their sexual behavior, which may make them more vulnerable to HIV infection, Tao said.
Xu Duo, an HIV/AIDS control and prevention campaigner in Pu'er, in Yunnan province, said the rising number of HIV/AIDS cases among elderly people is a reflection of inadequate psychological care from society.
"Elderly people also have the right to seek happiness through sex, and the whole of society, including government, should provide more services, including sexual health education, for the growing number of elderly people, as China is rapidly becoming an aging society," she said.

It happened in 1976, during my sophomore year in college. After completing my final exams in December, I returned home for the Christmas break. I was looking forward to spending time with my family and friends during the three weeks I had off from school.
Word on the street was that there was a good boxing movie playing at the theater. It was about an underdog who takes on the heavyweight champion of the world. I was a huge fan of boxing and was an avid follower of Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer the world had ever seen. He was strong, fast, bold, confident, charismatic, and unstoppable. I had heard that the newly released movie had a character who was modeled after Muhammad Ali.
Back then, there was no internet where you could watch a trailer or other videos about a newly released movie. The only way we heard about movies was through word of mouth, television news reports, articles in print publications, and late-night talk shows, where actors would come on to talk about their upcoming movies.
I ended up going to the movie with my cousin Danny Williams. The movie was about Robert "Rocky" Balboa, a young, kindhearted working-class man who was born and raised in an Italian neighborhood in Philadelphia. Rocky worked in the slums of Philadelphia as a debt collector for a loan shark. He was also a small-time boxer who fought in local nightclub boxing matches that took place in the Philadelphia area.
During the first round of the fight, Rocky stuns Creed by knocking him down, the first time Creed has ever been knocked down in a fight. Until then, to Creed, the fight has been a publicity stunt, but now he's forced to take Rocky seriously. They end up going at it for 15 rounds, beating each other senseless. At the end of the fight, Creed is declared the winner by virtue of a split decision.
The movie was the highest-grossing film released in 1976 and the second highest-grossing film of 1977. Because of the success of the movie, six sequels followed: "Rocky II" (1979), "Rocky III" (1982), "Rocky IV" (1985), "Rocky V" (1990), "Rocky Balboa" (2006), "Creed" (2015), and "Creed II" (2018). The two most recent films, "Creed" and "Creed II," are about Apollo Creed's son, who sought out and convinced 72-year-old Rocky Balboa to train him to be a champion boxer.
At one point during the 2015 Creed movie, while he is training Creed, Rocky walks Creed over to a mirror and tells him to look at himself in the mirror. While Creed is looking at his mirror image, Rocky points to the image and says, "Every time you get into the ring, that's who you're going against. I believe that in boxing, and I do believe that in life." He then tells Creed to throw some punches at the image he sees in the mirror while attempting to dodge each of the punches.
Rocky's statement to Creed is a metaphor for all the challenges we face in life. While we may have to deal with other people on a regular basis, when a challenge comes our way, the primary person we're up against is ourselves. Before we can successfully move forward, we have to be able to identify and overcome our own limitations, faults, and fears. The only way we can ever hope to do that is to first overcome our number one enemy: ourselves.
What is it that gets in the way of our daily battle with the person we see in the mirror every morning? Our biggest enemy is pride, the one root passion that everyone struggles with. We were all born with a strong tendency toward pride, the mother of all sins. And because of our fallen human nature, combined with the individual unique traits we were born with, the environment we grew up in, and our life experiences as children and young adults, each of us also developed a primary fault which caused us to become attached to and adept at one of the other six root passions — anger, lust, envy, gluttony, covetousness, or sloth.
From a practical standpoint, how does all this apply to the battle we have to wage against ourselves every day?
Do you know why people who have a problem with procrastination are never able to overcome it? It's because they have not learned how to overcome their pride and their primary fault. Do you know why some people are always late and are never able to change or modify their behavior? It's because they have not learned how to overcome their pride and their primary fault. Do you know why some people who are well-organized and able to accomplish a lot in a very short amount of time are never able to fully understand or empathize with people who are not like them? It's because they have not learned how to overcome their pride and their primary fault. Do you know why some people who repeatedly eat or drink to excess are never able to change or modify their behavior? It's because they have not learned how to overcome their pride and their primary fault.
Is there a process a person can go through to momentarily overcome their pride and their primary fault so they can win each battle they have to fight within themselves? The answer is yes. I'm going to begin explaining that process to you next week.
Thank you, Harry! Good questions with great responses!
I'm sure, and you're thankful to God for this gift.

Chevron Files Ethics Complaint Against New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli
SAN RAMON, Calif., November 20, 2012 – Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) filed a complaint before the New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics today, seeking an investigation of New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli as well as current and past members of his staff for multiple violations of New York Public Officers Law.
Chevron's complaint relates to ongoing litigation in Ecuador and demonstrates how Comptroller DiNapoli, who oversees the New York State Common Retirement Fund, which, according to SEC filings, owns more than $800 million of Chevron stock, apparently breached his ethical and fiduciary duties. Under New York Public Officers Law, public officials are prohibited from having "any interest, financial or otherwise…which is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of his duties in the public interest." Evidence shows that Comptroller DiNapoli used his office to support the Ecuadorian plaintiffs' lawyers' scheme to pressure Chevron into settling the lawsuit in exchange for benefits received from the plaintiffs' representatives.
The plaintiffs' supporters, amongst other things, have made direct financial contributions to DiNapoli's campaign in excess of $60,000 and have given him other political benefits. In an apparent quid pro quo exchange, DiNapoli has given his unwavering support and used his public office to take actions on behalf of the plaintiffs, such as sponsoring shareholder resolutions and making public statements against Chevron that were explicitly intended to pressure the company to settle the fraudulent lawsuit.
"The Comptroller's continued advocacy has come despite repeated findings by U.S. federal courts that the Ecuador litigation is tainted by fraud," said Hewitt Pate, Chevron vice president and general counsel. "Mr. DiNapoli's actions serve only his political patrons, not the citizens of the State of New York or the beneficiaries of the Common Retirement Fund. This type of quid pro quo behavior is an apparent breach of ethical and legal responsibilities that warrants investigation."
Comptroller DiNapoli took office in 2007 after his predecessor, Alan Hevesi, left office under allegations of misconduct, including a pay-for-play scandal that ultimately resulted in prison time.
Chevron is defending itself against false allegations that it is responsible for alleged environmental and social harms in the Oriente region of Ecuador. Chevron never conducted oil production operations in Ecuador, and its subsidiary Texaco Petroleum Co. ("TexPet") fully remediated its share of environmental impacts arising from oil production operations, before leaving Ecuador in 1992. After the remediation was certified by all agencies of the Ecuadorian government responsible for oversight, TexPet received a complete release from Ecuador's national, provincial, and municipal governments that extinguished all claims before Chevron acquired TexPet in 2001. All legitimate scientific evidence exonerates Chevron and proves that the remediated sites pose no significant risks to human health or the environment.
More information on the plaintiffs' lawyers' fraud can be found http://theamazonpost.com/the-fraudulent-case-against-chevron-in-ecuador/. Additional background on the Ecuador litigation can be accessed https://www.chevron.com/ecuador and http://www.theamazonpost.com/video.
Chevron is one of the world's leading integrated energy companies, with subsidiaries that conduct business worldwide. The company is involved in virtually every facet of the energy industry. Chevron explores for, produces and transports crude oil and natural gas; refines, markets and distributes transportation fuels and lubricants; manufactures and sells petrochemical products; generates power and produces geothermal energy; provides energy efficiency solutions; and develops the energy resources of the future, including biofuels. Chevron is based in San Ramon, Calif. More information about Chevron is available at www.chevron.com.


With reference to one of our previous posts, and a special request by Zul, we've put up the plaque – which acts as a 'memorial' for the brave elephant….
This signboard was erected by the (then) British Government after the accident – around 1894.
one of the most bravest act in the M'sian history !!!!
This elephant makes me recall back an indian movie which is called " Elephant my friend ". Does anyone remember ?!
The Elephant is really a good friend to mankind indeed.
Hi riversidegrass,I watched this movie 3 times when it was shown at Grand Cinema near Jubilee Park many many years ago. I have a good cry each time but my neighbour is even crazier,he watched it 6 times!
Welcome to the blog, riversidegrass! yes, Ipohgal n KLboy….that movie was a real tear-jerker!
I wonder if the sign is still around?
Interesting how the sign resembles station markers used at older railway stations. The only difference is there is an additional support beam in the middle.
I remember seeing an elephant skull at the Taiping Museum with the simple note that it was knock down by a train. Wonder whether it was the same elephant.
There were two elephants killed by trains in Perak within five years of each other. The first is the one commemorated above, killed near TA in September, 1874; while the second was killed at the other end of the same line, nearer to Tapah, in August, 1899.
As I recall, the two pairs of tusks were viewable for some years at the Perak Museum (in Taiping).
