Recent police shootings of African Americans have led citizens to question police officers' use of force. Thus, it is important to determine whether mock jurors can distinguish between justifiable and unjustifiable police shootings—and whether their judgements depend on victim race. Media attention could lead jurors to be more punitive in cases in which an officer shoots an African American (compared to Caucasian) victim. A punitive verdict would reflect society's opposition to such shootings, as suggested by the bandwagon effect. In a 2 (Shooting: Justified/Unjustified) x 2 (Victim's race: African American/Caucasian) experiment, mock jurors read a trial summary involving a fatal police shooting and indicated verdicts. Unjustifiable shootings resulted in less positive perceptions of the officer and perceptions that the shooting was less justified. When the victim was African American, participants had more positive perceptions of the victim, were more certain in a guilty verdict, and perceived the shooting as less justified. The interaction indicated that victim race affected verdicts, but only when the shooting was unjustified. Results suggest there is bias against officers who unjustifiably shoot African Americans, supporting the bandwagon effect. Implications for the role of media effects, psychology, and the legal system are discussed.
The present study investigated how different views of a target person are related to description accuracy and lineup identification performance. In a quasi-experimental design, participants viewed a target that was seen either at eye-level or from an overhead viewing angle, and in either a front or side pose. Participants described the target and were asked to view a lineup a few days later to attempt an identification. Viewing conditions were related to several aspects of participants' reports, including estimates of target distance and exposure time. Nearly all participants—including those who said they did not have a clear view of the target's face—predicted that they could recognize a photo of the target. Among participants who viewed a lineup several days later, accuracy was much lower than they had predicted, but performance was only weakly related to viewing angle or pose. Age differences in event description accuracy and lineup identification performance were small. Overall, information provided by older and younger adults was similar in its accuracy.
Physiognomists have applied the study of human facial characteristics to personality since Lavatar's work in the 18th C (Lavatar, 1866). Frequently dismissed as an absurd practice with dangerous implications, people routinely, deliberately, and instinctually apply these same inferential principles to first impression formation. Evolutionary psychologists posit that aspects of human cognition may have evolved to facilitate detection and defensive responses to individuals who intend to do us harm (Schaller, 2008). Self-protection and preservation are in the interest of survival of the species. The present work examines the understudied area of predictive ability to identify criminals by crime type. A large sample of respondents (n=2,824) drawn from a large Midwestern university were asked to match 10 criminal offenses to 10 randomly selected Department of Corrections identification photographs. Analyses of accuracy included both respondent demographic differences as well as offender to offense identification. Respondents identified six out of 10 crime categories at a rate significantly greater than chance, lending support to the contention that research examining the predictive accuracy of perception, has great utility in the areas of self-protection, preservation, and threat/harm reduction.
In the United States, most criminal cases are adjudicated through guilty pleas; yet, little is known about the public's perceptions of plea bargaining. Here, we applied two competing theories-- a procedural justice framework and plea-bargaining in the "shadow of the trial" theory-- to analyze the impact that process-relevant and evidence-relevant plea bargain variables have on the public's opinion of fairness for defendants, victims, and the greater community. Participants read two vignettes that summarized different plea bargain scenarios with nine key variables manipulated: the type of crime and its consequences, the defendant's prior record, the strength of the evidence against the defendant, the severity of the plea deal sentence, the mandatory minimum sentence associated with the crime, the coerciveness of the plea deal, the presence of emerging exculpatory evidence, and the proximity to trial. Our findings reveal that factors thought to influence the process and outcomes of plea bargaining do not neatly map onto laypeople's perceptions of procedural and outcome fairness and that evidentiary factors and prior attitudes may influence public perceptions of fairness more than procedural variables. These results highlight the need to further investigate the ways in which procedural justice and shadow of the trial frameworks can be applied to the study of public perceptions of plea bargaining.
Much research has investigated improving the effectiveness and fairness of the judicial system. One of the variables that has received attention regarding this is juror comprehension of sentencing instructions. This study utilized a transcript, modified from an actual murder and sexual battery trial transcript, to investigate the effects of timing of the sentencing instructions (before or after penalty phase testimony), simplicity of the instructions (standard or simplified), and race of the defendant (Caucasian or African American) on the overall sentencing outcomes for defendants. Overall, results showed that defendant race was not a significant predictor of the guilt decision for either capital murder or sexual battery. No relationship was found between defendant race and the decision to render a death sentence rather than life in prison without parole (LWOP). When the defendant was presented as Caucasian, the type of instruction (standard or simplified) was unrelated to sentence, but when the defendant was presented as African American the relationship between type of instruction and sentence was marginally significant. Similarities to, and differences from, results of previous research are addressed.
A series of open-ended questions was posed to a group of Texas municipal Police Chiefs to identify the challenges they experienced during their first year in this leadership role and to identify the advice they might offer to a newly appointed Police Chief. Additionally, information was collected on the participant's perceptions of essential personal traits necessary for effective leadership as a Police Chief, as well as traits that might cause Chiefs to fail. The participants were involved in a recurring and mandated statewide educational program for Texas municipal Police Chiefs. Texas communities employ more than 1,000 municipal Police Chiefs who serve in geographically and demographically diverse settings throughout the State. The results identified several important areas for consideration that could be helpful for individuals who aspire to this top-level position or have been recently appointed. Additionally, based on these findings, suggestions regarding topics for police executive training are offered.


Farmers Mutual Hail Calls on Seprio Again — Seprio | Protect Your business priorities. Contract better.
Des Moines, Iowa – September 1, 2017 – Seprio, the leader in helping businesses protect their priorities by contracting better, and Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance Company of Iowa (FMH), an insurance company providing peace of mind to American farmers and their families, today announced the results of their most recent IT contract negotiation, achieving cost savings of $9.7 million.
Seprio noted the unique importance of establishing a level playing field when engaging in negotiations involving an incumbent vendor. Seprio reviewed and analyzed the vendor proposals and developed a comprehensive, "apples-to-apples" comparison. After evaluating proposals and a comparison summary in collaboration with all FMH stakeholders, final negotiations ensued.
Seprio used a ready-made baseline established by the previously completed deal and current proprietary insights on market data. Both were instrumental in negotiating advantageous pricing and contract provisions. The baseline allowed Seprio to focus on what they called the "last mile" of the negotiations. Upon completion, the final deal not only represented an improvement from the originally completed deal, but Seprio was able to lower the incumbent's initial proposal by an additional $300,000, bringing total cost savings on the purchase to almost $10,000,000.
Both vendors acknowledged Seprio's "tough but fair" approach to negotiations. FMH noted that this approach creates additional value because it also fosters positive relationships ensuring that vendors will fight for FMH's business again in the future.
"This project is clear evidence that when sourcing and negotiation best practices are utilized, they not only result in a better initial deal, but also have a ripple effect that leads to better deals in the future, whether with the incumbent or a replacement vendor," said Roth.
Headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa, FMH has served America's farmers since 1893 with a combination of financial strength, personal service, and Midwestern values. A leader in the crop insurance industry, the company has been managed by the same family for 125 years, and has a reputation of building lasting relationships that benefit their employees, business partners, and customers. FMH provides comprehensive risk management solutions, including private and federal crop insurance, reinsurance products and services, as well as farm and ranch insurance that includes auto, property, and liability coverage.

A post shared by Nha Trang Noodle House (@nhatrangnoodlehouse) on Aug 4, 2018 at 12:47pm PDT
This week's pick by Christina Champlin, Co-Founder of We Like L.A.
Recently I was tasked to plan a "date night" in my hometown of Alhambra. I thought about the kinds of foods I have a hard time finding west of the 110 freeway and my cravings led me to Nha Trang Noodle House located on Main Street. The craving? Vietnamese noodles. Like most places in the SGV Nha Trang is a casual affair that focuses on food over facade. I ordered the large Bun Bo Hue ($9.50), a Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup. The deep, red broth nicely balances spicy, sour and salty notes. Bun Bo Hue is not like pho. This is an adventurous bowl of noodles. You'll find a few pieces of pork knuckle, cubes of pork blood and beef shank. The soup has been simmered for hours with beef bones, lemongrass and fermented shrimp sauce creating an aroma that borders on funk. Try it and you just might be obsessed. I know I am.
If you find yourself with hesitant eaters or am one yourself, Nha Trang Noodle House is actually a fusion restaurant serving a number of exciting food interpretations. They have a version of a poutine, fries are covered in Stir Fried Lemongrass Beef ($9.50), drizzled with a garlic ginger aioli and topped with a fried egg. It's a big order great for sharing. And if you're looking for a deal there are specials running Monday through Friday. On Wednesdays it's half off of their crispy tasty chicken wings. For $3 a plate it is an absolute steal. On Mondays you can score an entree and a drink of your choice for $9.99. Whatever you choose, you and your date won't go wrong.
Nha Trang Noodle House is located at 417 W Main st. Alhambra, CA 91801.

Just a few more hours are left in Lent, as I write these words. (Although if you want to get a really intriguing and confusing conversation going, just ask any semi-knowledgeable Catholic when Lent 'begins' and 'ends'.
Sometimes I wonder, though, whether we get caught up in such trivial details because we can't handle the profound mystery of the three days that follow: Triduum.
We begin this evening, with the Mass of the Lord's Supper – to my mind, one of the most beautiful liturgies of the year. It includes that pesky 'footwashing' moment…when we hear how the Lord modeled the servant's heart that he wishes to evoke in each of us…and when some of us actually consent to have our own feet washed (in public, no less!).
Before long, we'll encounter another wonderful and troubling sight: God made present to us, in the form of bread and wine…transformed into Christ's own body and blood. Talk about a mystery!
No sooner are we asked to wrap our minds and hearts around THAT reality…than we are then asked to consume this very God…to take the Holy One in…and let God mingle with our own molecules.
It's not just a Triduum encounter, of course. It happens every week, every day, every time we celebrate Mass. But the rich liturgies of the Triduum seem to heighten the reality of the moment for me…and perhaps for all of us. God seems more easily discerned in the 'thin times' of these three (or is it four?) holy days.
The reality is heightened…and the mystery is deepened.
But do we ever pause long enough, to let the mystery of Jesus settle into our hearts? Triduum is a great time to do just that – to sit a spell, and take it all in.
The Greek word used to describe everyone's reaction to [Jesus] is thauna, 'wonder.' That was the reaction of His enemies, who killed Him; of His disciples, who worshiped Him; and even of agnostics, who went away shaking their heads and muttering, "No man ever spoke like this man," and knowing that if He didn't stop being what He was and saying what He said, then eventually they would have to side with either His killers or His worshipers. For Jesus-shock breaks your heart in two and forces you to choose which half of your heart you will follow.
So if you feel your heart breaking as you observe these holy days of Triduum, that's probably a good thing. It means that this Jesus, this 'wonder', is indeed alive…and is stirring something up in you.
Then comes the question: Which half of your heart will you follow?

Khandaani Shafakhana Movie Ticket Offers, Booking, Price: Book Movie Ticket Online on BookMyShow, Paytm
By: Viveka Nagar, Updated: Aug 19, 2019
Khandaani Shafakhana Movie Ticket Offers, Online Booking, Ticket Price, Reviews and Ratings
Khandaani Shafakhana is a new Hindi movie that stars Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Sharma, Badshah and Annu Kapoor in the lead roles. With this Bollywood 2019 comedy-drama flick, Badshah marks his acting debut in Bollywood. The movie is directed by Shilpi Dasgupta. The famous song "Sheher Ki Ladki" has been revised by Badshah and the appearance of Suneil Shetty and Raveena Tandon made us go nostalgic.
The film follows the story of a happy-go-lucky Punjabi girl, Babita "Baby" Bedi (played by Sonakshi Sinha), who can do anything for her family. Then her uncles ask this young girl to look after her uncle's sex clinic. She decided to that and that's when the entire fuss rises. Talking about sex in a village may not be a big issue but talking about male sex issues to a girl can be a tussle for many. She starts facing problems with the patients and then she meets Badshah, the rockstar, and requests him to make a song that could help people share their sex-related problems.
The trailer seems interesting but we don't want to predict and ruin the fun of the plot. One thing can't be denied that Khandaani Shafakhana is giving us major Vicky Donor vibes. In the below story, find Khandaani Shafakhana release date, songs, trailer, review and more. Not only this, but also find Khandaani Shafakhana movie ticket offers and prices so that you can book movie ticket online without any hassle.

Khandaani Shafakhana Movie Review
Khandaani Shafakhana is indeed a sparkling movie which revolved around a small-town girl of Hoshiarpur, Punjab who later inherits her uncle's sex clinic to support her family. Baby Bedi is a hard-working girl who is surrounded by a lazy brother and let down by relatives who stills struggles harder to support her family after her father's death. That's when her uncle handed over his sex clinic to her for 6 months and asks her to run if she needs to solve her monetary issues. Now, that's a tough one for a girl to handle a sex clinic that too in a city like Hoshiarpur where people barely say the word "sex". Watching her journey manage herself to work the clinic and turn people come at it would be interesting, isn't it? The film has an authentic ambience where you can see those surroundings which makes you feel as if you're right there. You can see Sonakshi in almost every frame of the movie, which means there is too much pressure on her to deliver the best to hold the attention of the audiences which gets flatten over time. Badshah's first Bollywood debut is an impressive and bold attempt where he plays the role of a rockstar who suffers from erectile dysfunction. Varun Sharma does what he does the best, that is a senseless comedy. The idea is great to attempt but what does not falls in place in the direction and the story. The writing goes weak at many times and the jokes seem underlined. Where the movie is here to deliver a strong message "the importance to be open about sex". However, the movie lies nowhere around Vicky Donor, so watch Khandaani Shafakhana to see the message and not the story.

Former CONEL student overcomes deafness to study for an MSc after gaining first class degree
Ex-CONEL student Donna Morris-Davidson who is studying for a master's degree.
A deaf student who wants to improve the health of disadvantaged people has taken on a master's degree after graduating with first class honours last summer.
Donna Morris-Davidson, 50, attained a BSc (Hons) in Health Promotion and Public Health at the University of West London after taking an Access to Higher Education Diploma in Nursing at the College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (CONEL).
She is now studying for an MSc in Public Health at the University of East London.
Donna said: "I graduated with a first class degree with top grades for all modules.
"One of my lecturers has encouraged me to have one of my essays published, and I have also been a keynote speaker at a conference to student midwives. As you can imagine, I am very proud of my accomplishments.
"My MSc work is going to be very challenging, but I am so excited."
CONEL provided Donna with signers in her classes and she went on to gain a Distinction on her course as well as receiving an Excellence Award from the College.
She said: "I've faced many challenges as a deaf student but I had fantastic support from CONEL in helping overcome any barriers to my learning, such as communications and seating arrangements.
"I enjoyed the course so much that I did not want to miss one session.
"I am eternally grateful to my tutors. They showed me how to study at degree level and gave me study methods I still use on my masters.
"My time at CONEL was a gateway to the different world, and proved I could be successful."
Access to Higher Education Diploma courses provide students without the qualifications to study at degree level with the skills and knowledge to get into university.
CONEL offers these courses in Nursing, Midwifery, Social Work, Computing, Engineering and Science.
Christine Peck, Course Team Leader in Health and Social Care, said: "Donna has gone from strength to strength, achieving not only a first class degree but also regular commendations from her tutors.
"She's a really positive role model for anyone wanting a career in healthcare, but especially for those who may feel their disability could hinder their academic studies and chosen career."

Declaration Of Peace In Afghanistan Signed By Islamic Scholars At Mecca
Kabul: Diplomats and leading officials from Islamic organizations on Friday praised the historic "Declaration of peace in Afghanistan" conference for paving the way for a solution to the long-running crisis in the war-torn country.
The conference, hosted in Mecca on Thursday by the Muslim World League (MWL) under the auspices of Saudi Arabia, brought together for the first-time senior Afghan and Pakistani scholars, along with government ministers from the two countries, in an effort to help bring about reconciliation among the people of Afghanistan. The declaration was co-signed by the Minister for Religious Affairs Dr. Noorul Haq Qadri and Afghan Hajj, Guidance and Endowments Minister Mohammed Qasim Halimi.
The participants offered their support for negotiations between the warring factions in the country and rejected all acts of extremism. "This historic announcement reflects the great efforts made by the Kingdom (of Saudi Arabia), as the current president of the Islamic Summit, and its pivotal role in reconciliation among the parties in the Islamic countries," said Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen, secretary-general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
He added that he values the work of the MWL that led to Thursday's declaration and an agreement to find a lasting and comprehensive solution that will support the process of peace, reconciliation, stability, progress and prosperity in Afghanistan.
Sayed Jalal Karim, the former Afghan ambassador to Saudi Arabia, told Arab News, "The peace conference was very fruitful for peace and stability in Afghanistan. It came at a very good time that will help to further strengthen relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the peace front, The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday elaborated that India has in fact opening up channels with Taliban and that it supports peace talks in the wake of US forces pulling back.
Indian MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "We support all peace initiatives and have been engaged with several stakeholders including regional countries." The move marks a significant shift from New Delhi's position of not engaging with the Taliban.
The remarks come as there were reports that India is opening up channels of communication with Taliban factions and leaders, including reportedly Mullah Baradar. Bagchi added, "Our relations with Afghanistan are historical and multi-faceted. We have been engaging with Afghans across ethnicities. As a friendly neighbor, we are concerned about peace and security in Afghanistan and the region. We support all peace initiatives and have been engaged with several stakeholders including regional countries."
It is pertinent to note that the Indian External Affairs Minister participated in the inaugural ceremony of the Afghan talks held in Doha last year. A senior official delegation attended the talks in Doha. In the recent past, India has had visits by multiple Afghan leaders to India, and vice-versa.

PCM continues the fight against women's cancers
In an effort to encourage generations of families to walk together, the Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women's Cancers (WEWC) lowered its entry age to 13 in 2014.
The weekend walk, an event sponsored by Shoppers Drug Mart and now in its 12th year, raised $147 million for cancer research. Lowering the age limit of entrants allows all high school students to participate but also increased awareness among the next generation about the fight to beat cancer.
Carlos Jardino with his team, PCMNow, jumped at the opportunity to sign up eight youth – family and friends ranging from 13 to 17. Alexandra, Timothy and Patrick, aged 13, Caroline and Julia aged 16, Philip, Maya and Matthew, aged 17, join five adult team-members.
In the most recent walk, as in past years, the 60 km walk is divided over two days – 32 km on Saturday, and 28 km on Sunday. Walkers doing the two-day course were expected to raise $2000, while those doing one day had to raise $1250. Youth, however, were only required to raise $500.
Walkers started from centrefield at the Rogers Centre and followed a winding route through beautiful Toronto neighbourhoods. Fully equipped pit stops along the way provided water, snacks, and lunch, as well as staff to give medical attention is necessary.
At the end of day one, participants received a massage and hot dinner — and blister care if they have them. Live entertainment and dancing continued until Lights Out, which is when participants walking the second day bunked down in tents provided in the overnight camp at the Rogers Centre. Hot showers and a hot breakfast on Sunday morning guaranteed to keep everyone charged up for the 28 km Day Two walk.
Since its launch in 2003, WEWC has raised not only money but hope as it has funded the work of Dr. Tak Mak who has pioneered a new drug now in Phase 1 clinical trials and the most comprehensive Immune Therapy program in Canada at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation is now two years into its Billion Dollar Challenge, a five-year initiative to revolutionize cancer care by creating the new gold standard in cancer care: Personalized Cancer Medicine. While a billion dollars sounds like a lot, every penny is needed to fight this disease. 40% of Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, while survivorship in on the rise, some cancers remain very lethal and there is more work that we must do to conquer this very complex disease. Princess Margaret is leading the way in new treatments and discoveries, as one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world.
Jardino's participation not only honors the memory of his father, Jose, who died of cancer at just 52, but also honours The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, whose values he respects and admires.
"The Foundation's vision is to conquer cancer in our lifetime and their values such as passion for the cause, partnership and accountability," Jardino says. "Are essentially the same values I believe in."
His work ethic — use only quality craftsmanship and materials – has garnered his company PCM Construction its reputation for quality. It builds many of Oakville's most outstanding luxury custom homes, but has also built The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation's annual fall lottery show home for the past several years. (For the 2013 showstopper, see http://www.princessmargaretlotto.com/two/oakville.php.)
Since 1966, The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation has raised over $279-million for cancer research through their lotteries. Like all the participating fundraisers for the WEWC PCMNOW had its own page on the WEWC's main website.
The Foundation feels this is an essential tool in helping teams raise money, as well as spread awareness of the event, and of the importance of research. Participants also get the chance to train, with Get-in-Step sessions, training walks, foot clinics – and the popular Pink Martini Nights.
In 2015 The Walk in being transformed into the Shoppers Drug Mart OneWalk To Conquer Cancer – One Walk, One Day, For ALL Cancers.

THOMPSON INTRODUCES SMALL BUSINESS HEALTHCARE RELIEF ACT
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) has introduced H.R. 5860, the bipartisan Small Business Healthcare Relief Act with Congressman Charles W. Boustany, Jr., M.D., (R-South Louisiana). This legislation fixes an existing Treasury Department guidance under the Affordable Care Act that limits the use of health reimbursement arrangements (HRA's) for small businesses, limiting choice and affordability for healthcare consumers.
"Since the landmark health care reform legislation was passed, we've focused too much time trying to undermine the law, and far too little time working to build on its important reforms so that all Americans can afford health insurance," said Thompson. "This bipartisan legislation moves past party politics, fixes an important part of the health care law, and improves choice and affordability. By building on the reforms made in the Affordable Care Act, like this legislation does, we can make sure every American can afford to go to the doctor – and that's what matters."
On September 13, 2013, Treasury issued guidance disallowing businesses from using HRA's as a tax-free means to reimburse employees, stating these arrangements were disqualified under Affordable Care Act's annual dollar cap.
The Small Business Healthcare Relief Act restores flexibility and choice into the marketplace by:
Ensuring that small businesses are allowed to use pre-tax dollars to give employees a defined contribution.
Allowing employees to use these funds as an HRA to purchase health coverage on the individual market, as well as for qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Protecting small business employers from being unnecessarily financially penalized for providing this option to employees.
The legislation is supported by the United States Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB), the National Association for the Self-Employed, and the Coalition for Affordable Healthcare (CAHC). Support letters from these organizations are attached.
The legislation has been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, on which Thompson and Boustany serve.
Congressman Mike Thompson is proud to represent California's 5th Congressional District, which includes all or part of Contra Costa, Lake, Napa, Solano and Sonoma Counties. He is a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Rep. Thompson is also a member of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition and chairs the bipartisan, bicameral Congressional Wine Caucus.

Freeform Developing 'Sleeping Beauty' Followup Drama 'After' From Tom Lynch
Freeform has put in development Sleeping Beauty-themed hourlong scripted drama After (working title), based on Rhiannon Thomas' 2015 debut novel A Wicked Thing, from veteran youth programming writer-producer Tom Lynch.
After re-imagines Sleeping Beauty and what happens after happily ever. In it, Princess Aurora wakes up to the kiss of a handsome prince one hundred years after falling asleep to find her family long dead and her kingdom taken from her. She must transform into a warrior to regain it. Lynch is co-writing with Adam Lash and Cori Uchida (Eye Candy), and executive producing with Robin Schwartz for the the Tom Lynch Co. and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
Lynch was the top creator and producer of scripted series targeting tweens in the 1990s and 2000s. He was behind such shows as Nick's The Secret World of Alex Mack, Caitlin's Way, and South of Nowhere. Lynch recently wrapped production on Nickelodeon's musical comedy series Make It Pop. He is repped by Gersh and Morris YornBarnes.
Lash and Uchida have worked on NBC's Heroes: Reborn, MTV's Eye Candy and Syfy's Helix. They are repped by Verve, Mad House Entertainment and Hansen Jacobsen Teller. Thomas is repped by Nelson Literary Agency and UTA. A Wicked Thing was published by HarperCollins Children's division.
A Wicked Thing marks the latest revisionist take on Sleeping Beauty. It follows the 2014 Disney movie Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie as the iconic villain.
On the fairytale front, Freeform recently acquired A Cinderella Story: If the Show Fits, the latest installment in Warner Bros' Cinderella Story series. Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty both are properties closely associated with Freeform parent Disney.

WINSLOW – Authorities announced an arrest in a robbery and shooting in Winslow in December.
Police charged Kyle D. Robinson, 26, of Sicklerville with weapons possession, aggravated assault, robbery and eluding. Judge Michael Diamond set bail at $250,000.
Winslow police responded to a report of a shooting on Harrington Lane in Sicklerville, where they found the victim with four gunshot wounds to the chest. Authorities say Robinson fled the scene in a car and crashed during a pursuit, but managed to escape on foot.


Deoxys raid boss is coming to Pokemon GO via the EX Raid system. Recently, Deoxys EX Raid was leaked in a slow rolling mobile push notification to be the next EX raid boss, as Mewtwo is dropping into normal raid battles on September 20th, 2018 until October 23rd. This guide lists best Deoxys counters, Deoxys form stats and which moves Deoxys can have in Pokemon GO.
Any and all information is this guide is subject to change, but we hope to give you some insight as to the best ways to start prepping for… another Psychic type EX Raid boss.
This is a list of the best Deoxys counters based on typing and competitive viability. Deoxys is very similar to Mewtwo, so you should already have some of these powered up by the time Deoxys hits raid battles!
If we were to go with the assumption that Deoxys can have any forme to battle with, it becomes hard to try and put a definitive list that would encompass every single counter. However, you have consistent high ranking mainstays that you can count on for every battle, as listed above.
Just like with Mewtwo, Shadow Claw Gengar can come in to do impressive damage and top the charts, although this means fainting numerously.
Tyranitar, Shadow Ball Mewtwo, Absol, and Houndoom, in that order for Time to Win (TTW), all make up the core of any team. From Defense Deoxys to Attack Deoxys, they will be solid picks all around for any forme.
Odd picks would go to Pinsir, Scizor, Banette, and Sharpedo. The likes of Pinsir and Banette actually top the TTW charts against Defense Deoxys, Sharpedo acts as a not-Gengar Glass Cannon, and Scizor is great, but it acts as a more tanky Pinsir.
The only things on this list that may give you trouble are Counter, dealing super effective damage to your poor Ttars, and the Psychic moves dealing some super effective damage against any potential glass Gengars you happen to bring in, although this means it can be resisted by your Mewtwo and Tyranitars. Otherwise, Zap Cannon and Swift are odd move choices on Niantic's end, and will not do much to your supreme counters. Zap Cannon may pose a problem for those less powerful players using Sharpedo as a Dark type glass cannon, but other than that, these moves should not pose much of a problem.
Windy weather is what you want to get a boosted Deoxys, but not what you want if you end up having to cut corners to short-man this raid (Unless, fun fact, if it is Attack Forme Deoxys, then you can Solo it with high level counters). [foggy] weather is the supreme counter weather, boosting both Ghost and Dark moves, making your Gengars and Tyranitars even more beastly. This is a rare weather in most parts of the world, especially during raiding hours, so a good substitute is to fight in the Rainy weather, where it boosts the likes of even Pinsir to surpass all other counters in TTW, for certain movesets like Counter/Psycho Boost.
Good Generalists like Dual Dragon move Rayquaza, Salamence, and Dragonite, Sky Attack Moltres, and Raikou.
Though very superficial, we can expect prepping for Deoxys to be easy. The only wrench would be if the defense form ends up being put into raids as a boss and has the defense an absolute monster. That would be an issue, a rather familiar, Regi-trio like issue. Assuming that does not happen, we can get excited for a new change in the EX raids! Happy training, good luck getting an EX pass!

❯English Premier League ❯ Premier League preview: Another big week in store for title-chasing trio
Premier League preview: Another big week in store for title-chasing trio
4 Feb 2019 7 min read
With a third of the season remaining there are still three teams in with a genuine chance of winning the Premier League.
Just four points separates Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, although the Reds can extend their lead at the top when they face West Ham United on Monday.
Read on as we look at this week's Premier League fixtures.
West Ham United vs Liverpool
Liverpool's lead was cut to just two points by Manchester City on Sunday, but they could move five clear with a victory at the London Stadium.
The Reds have dominated recent meetings with West Ham, winning the last four league matches by a combined aggregate of 16-2.
However, the Hammers have been in decent form at home over the past couple of months, losing just one of their last five games.
Manuel Pellegrini's side could move into the top half of the table if they can beat Liverpool and it would be foolish to underestimate their chances of success on Monday.
Everton vs Manchester City
City bounced back from their shock defeat at Newcastle United with a show of strength against Arsenal and they will fancy their chances of following up at Goodison Park.
Pep Guradiola's side have recorded 3-1 victories in their last two meetings with Everton and it's difficult to imagine them slipping up on Wednesday.
The Toffees were woeful against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday and have now won just three of their last 12 league matches.
City have lost three of their last five games away from home in the league, but they are one of the week's strongest betting tips to pick up three points against Everton.
Fulham vs Manchester United
Marcus Rashford celebrated his 100th Premier League appearance with a fine goal to secure a 1-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday and maintain Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dream start as temporary manager.
The victory moved United onto 48 points, two adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea and one ahead of Arsenal in the race to qualify for the Champions League.
Solskjaer has deservedly been hailed for his attacking football, but his impact on United's defensive record should not be ignored.
In eight Premier League games since he replaced Jose Mourinho, United have conceded only six goals and kept three clean sheets – their good form should continue at Craven Cottage.
Huddersfield Town vs Arsenal
Arsenal were ruthlessly dismantled by City on Sunday, meaning they have now gone 21 away matches without beating one of the other so-called 'Big Six'.
They also remain the only Premier League team not to keep a clean sheet away from home this season and face a huge battle to finish in the top four.
However, the Gunners haven't been beaten by Huddersfield since 1971 and it's highly unlikely that they will slip-up this weekend.
The Terriers are 13 points adrift of safety having won just twice this term and relegation to the Championship looks nailed on.
Southampton vs Cardiff City
Ralph Hasenhuttl has certainly sparked a revival in Southampton's fortunes since replacing Mark Hughes as manager.
Saints are unbeaten in the league during 2019 and a victory over Cardiff would move them five points ahead of the relegation zone.
However, the Bluebirds deservedly beat Bournemouth over the weekend to prove that they will not give up their Premier League status lightly.
Cardiff triumphed 1-0 when the two sides met back in December and another close encounter is on the cards at St Mary's.
Watford vs Everton
Any thoughts that Marco Silva was a better option as Everton manager than Sam Allardyce have surely been quashed by the club's recent form.
The Toffees' form has been awful over the past couple of months and their place in the top half of the table is now seriously under threat.
Silva has claimed Everton's players are failing to motivate themselves consistently, a worrying statement from someone whose job it is to inspire positive performances.
Watford have lost just two of their last seven meetings with Everton and they look a good bet to enhance that record this weekend.
Crystal Palace vs West Ham United
Palace boosted their survival hopes with a 2-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday and another three points against West Ham would further ease their relegation worries.
However, they have failed to beat the Hammers in their last seven meetings, with their last victory coming at Upton Park back in 2015.
Palace have won three and drawn one of their last six games at home, while West Ham have lost their last three away fixtures without scoring a goal.
Michy Batshuayi's arrival on loan from Chelsea could prove to be an inspired piece of business and Palace look a solid bet on Saturday.
Liverpool vs Bournemouth
Liverpool will undoubtedly be eager to crank up the pressure on their title rivals with two victories this week.
The Reds could be up to eight points clear by the time City face Chelsea on Sunday and manager Jurgen Klopp will be keen to ensure his side don't start feeling the pressure.
Liverpool have smashed 11 goals without reply in their last three meetings with the Cherries and the visitors' recent away form doesn't suggest they will cause too many problems at Anfield.
Eddie Howe's side have lost seven league games in a row and Liverpool should comfortably come out on top this weekend.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Burnley
Brighton have lost just one of their last nine meetings with Burnley, although that solitary defeat came in the reverse fixture back in December.
There have been just 10 goals scored between the two sides during that run of games and another low-scoring encounter looks likely this weekend.
Brighton have scored just three goals in their last five home matches, while Burnley's 11-goal tally away from Turf Moor is the fourth worst record in the top flight.
The home side are favourites to win the game, but a 0-0 or 1-1 draw would not be a surprise.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City
Spurs had 21 shots against Newcastle United on Saturday, but they only had Son Heung-min's 83rd minute goal to show for their efforts.
Three wins in a row has kept Spurs in the title mix, although it's fair to say that their performances have been laboured during that run.
Leicester's defeat against Man Utd on Sunday was their fourth league game without a win and they will be desperate to end that run at Wembley.
Spurs ran out 2-0 winners at the King Power Stadium back in December – a similar scoreline is on the cards this weekend.
Manchester City vs Chelsea
City were beaten 2-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season and Pep Guardiola's side will be keen to set the record straight this weekend.
They have won 12 out of 13 matches at the Etihad Stadium this term, smashing 43 goals in the process.
Chelsea have lost their last two away matches without scoring a goal and they were particularly poor in their recent 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth.
City were superb against Arsenal over the weekend and a repeat of that display should be enough to see off Chelsea on Sunday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Newcastle United
Wolves' 3-1 victory at Everton on Saturday left them seventh in the table and it would not be a shock to see them retain that position during the rest of the season.
Nuno's side recorded a 2-1 success at St James' Park earlier in the season and they should complete the double on home soil.
Newcastle are without a win in their last four away matches and remain just two points above the relegation zone.
The Magpies triumphed 1-0 on their last visit to Molineux in 2017, but Wolves are fancied to pick up three points this weekend.

Vyborg-Petrozavodsk operation: the defeat of the Finnish army
75 years ago, in June—August 1944, the Red Army had the Vyborg-Petrozavodsk operation. Troops of the Leningrad and Karelian fronts broke through the "Mannerheim line", inflicted a heavy defeat on the Finnish army, liberated Vyborg and Petrozavodsk, a large part of the Karelo-Finnish SSR. The Finnish government under the threat of total political and military disaster was forced to start peace negotiations with the Soviet Union.

General situation
As a result of the successful offensive in the winter and spring of 1944 the red army in the North-Western and South-Western directions at the front was formed by two large ledge. The first of them, which was North of the Pripyat, go into the Soviet side, the second, South of the Pripyat river, was facing the Germans. And the ledge – "Belarusian balcony", closed the way for the Russian to Warsaw and Berlin. The Belarusian standout Nazis could use for application of flank attacks when Soviet offensive in the Baltic States to the borders of East Prussia and the South-West direction to Poland (Lviv area) and Hungary. South ledge, which rested in the Carpathian mountains, cut through the German front and hampering cooperation between the two German groups of armies "North Ukraine and South Ukraine".
In the Winter the troops of the 1st Baltic. Western and Belorussian fronts were trying to develop the offensive to the West, but without much success. The German group of armies "the Center" hold tight Belarusian ledge. On the South-West, the situation was favorable – our troops reached the Lublin and Lviv directions. The German high command, continuing to rely on the strategic defensive and the prolongation of the war, believed that in the summer the Russians will continue to attack in the South. Groups of armies "Center" and "North" predicted "a calm summer". In addition, the Nazi leadership believed that the Russian army after the completion of active and strategic operations in 1944 suffered heavy losses and will not be able soon to actively attack along the whole front. Therefore, 22 of the German Panzer divisions, which were in the East, 20 movable joints were located South of the Pripyat, and only 2 to the North of it.
Assumptions of Hitler's bet was wrong. The red Army maintained its power, quickly made up for losses in manpower, equipment and weapons. The Soviet Rate was going to continue the offensive on all fronts, consistently inflicting powerful blows in different directions. In the spring of 1944, the Soviet high command prepared a plan for the summer campaign of 1944. By the end of may 1944 the plan was approved by the Supreme Commander in chief I. Stalin. The offensive was planned for June 1944, the Main attack was planned to strike in the center in the Belarusian Republic. First on the offensive in the summer had to go to the Leningrad and Karelian fronts (LF and KF) on the Karelian isthmus and in southern Karelia. Their successful strike would lead to defeat of the Finnish army and the Nazi war of Finland. Also the red Army offensive in the Northwest have distracted Berlin from the Central direction.
In addition, the summer offensive of the red Army supported the allies open a second front in France. On 5 June 1944, Stalin congratulated the allies with the capture of Rome. June 6, Churchill told Stalin about the beginning of the landing of the Anglo-American troops in Normandy. Congratulating Churchill and Roosevelt with a successful landing in France, the Soviet leader briefed allies on further actions of the red Army. The red Army offensive on the Eastern front facilitated the actions of Britain and USA in the West. June 9, Stalin further informed British Prime Minister that the preparation of the summer offensive of the Soviet troops and ends June 10, will start the offensive on the Leningrad front.
Thus, the summer-autumn campaign of 1944 opened "the fourth Stalin's blow." It was the troops of the Leningrad and Karelian fronts on the Karelian isthmus and in Karelia. The first blow in January 1944, led to the complete liberation from the blockade of Leningrad and the Leningrad region; the second blow in February — March 1944 to the liberation of right-Bank Ukraine; the third strike in March — may 1944 liberation of Odessa and the Crimea.

Position of Finland. The forces of the parties
The Situation of Nazi Finland by the summer of 1944 has deteriorated significantly. In January – February 1944 the Wehrmacht was defeated at Leningrad and Novgorod. However, the Finnish command had hoped that the strong defensive positions to hold positions on the Karelian isthmus and in Karelia.
The activity of the Russian Migration from the South to the North came as a surprise to the enemy. The Nazis did not have time to quickly transfer troops to the North-West. However, over the three years of the war Finnishthe armed forces have created powerful defenses, strengthen the "Mannerheim line", created before the great Patriotic war. On the Karelian isthmus there were three defensive lines. The depth of the enemy defense on the Vyborg direction reached 100 kilometers. Between Ladoga and Onega lakes line of defense passed through the river Svir. The Onega to the North of the island was equipped with two defensive lines.
Finnish troops were divided into three operational groups – "the Karelian isthmus", "Olonets" (between the Ladoga and Onega lakes) and "Maselskaya". Finnish troops who defended these positions, consisted of 15 divisions (including 1 armored), and 6 infantry brigades. Only about 270 thousand people, 3,200 artillery pieces and mortars, about 250 tanks and self-propelled guns and about 270 aircraft. The Finnish part was fully stocked, had plenty of combat experience. Finnish soldiers had a high fighting ability, fought hard. The terrain was difficult to conduct major operations – lakes, rivers, swamps, forests, rocks and hills.

In may — June 1944 LF and KF the front was reinforced from the reserve and from other fronts infantry divisions, an artillery corps breakthrough, 3 air divisions. Reinforced with artillery, mobile connections – received more than 600 tanks and self-propelled guns. As a result of Soviet Leningrad and Karelian fronts under the command of Marshal Govorov and army General Meretskov had 41 infantry division, 5 brigades and 4 fortified area. They numbered about 450 thousand people, about 10 thousand guns and mortars, more than 800 tanks and assault guns, more than 1,500 planes. Thus, the Red Army had a significant advantage in manpower and equipment, especially in artillery, tanks and aircraft. Also the operation involved forces of the Baltic fleet, Ladoga and Onega military flotilla.
May 1, 1944, the Supreme Commander issued a Directive on the training of troops LF and KF to attack. Particularly attention was drawn to the need to conduct an offensive in the marshy and lake areas in which Soviet forces suffered heavy losses in the war of 1939 – 1940 At the end of may the commander of the KF General Meretskov reported to Stalin about the preparation of the operation.

General plan of operation
The Main objective of the Vyborg-Petrozavodsk operation was to destroy the Finnish armed forces and the withdrawal of Finland from the war. Troops of LF and KF was supposed to defeat the opposing them to the enemy, to liberate Vyborg and Petrozavodsk, the territory of the Karelo-Finnish SSR and the Northern part of the Leningrad region, to restore the state border with Finland. The defeat of the Finnish army and the threat of the red Army actually Finnish territory had to get to Helsinki to break the Alliance with Berlin and to start peace negotiations.
First started the offensive LF, then KF. The troops of Marshal Govorova advancing forces of two armies (21st and 23rd armies), with the support of the 13th air army and the Baltic fleet of the Onega flotilla. The main impact was rendered on the Karelian isthmus along the Northern coast of the Gulf of Finland in the direction of Beloostrov, the Amount of Vyborg and Lappeenranta. The red Army was to break through the "Mannerheim line", capture of Vyborg – a strategic point and a communications node, creating a threat to important political and economic centres of Finland.
The Troops of Meretskov in collaboration with Onega and Ladoga flotilla had to cross the river Svir, to break the defense of the Finns, to develop the offensive in Olonets, Vidlitsa, the pitkäranta and Sortavala, part of the power – on Petrozavodsk, a part of the Medvezhyegorsk between Porosozero and Kuolimo. Soviet troops were to defeat the opposing them to the enemy, to liberate Petrozavodsk, and to reach the state border with Finland in the area Kuolismaa. The KF command was to weaken the Northern flank and centerof its front, located there along with German and Finnish troops. Under favorable conditions it was supposed to go into a General offensive on all fronts to Murmansk.
Thus, the Vyborg-Petrozavodsk strategic offensive operation was divided into two front offensive operation – the Vyborg operation, pursued by the troops of the Leningrad front and Swissco-Petrozavodsk operation of the Karelian front, which began one after another.
To deceive the enemy and hide the main Soviet direction of attack Rate is instructed to hold the KF conspicuous preparations for an attack on the Northern sector of the front in Petsamo. LF was given the task to simulate a large-scale operation in the area of Narva. In the areas of real operations observe the strictest secrecy. This resulted in a surprise offensive. The enemy command did not expect the summer offensive of the red Army in the North.
The Defeat of the Finnish army on the Vyborg direction
June 9, 1944, the heavy artillery and bombers attacked the Finnish fortifications on the Karelian isthmus. As a result, many of the fortifications were destroyed, and the minefields are detonated. June 10, conducted a full-scale artillery and air bombardment. A significant role in this training was played by naval artillery and naval aviation of the Baltic fleet. After that we went to attack the troops of the 21st army of General Gusev, June 11 – the forces of the 23rd army Cherepanov. In their composition at the beginning of the offensive had 15 infantry divisions, 10 tank and self-propelled artillery regiments. Gusev army inflicted a major blow, so that it was centered 70% of the force LF on the Karelian isthmus. Most of these forces and means was on the site through the army at 12.5 kilometers.
On the first day our troops broke through the enemy defenses, crossed the Sestra river and advanced deep into enemy territory on the 12 — 17 kilometers. No strong fortifications, nor the tenacity of the Finnish troops were unable to stop the offensive of the red Army. June 11, the Supreme Commander issued an order, which praised the actions of the Leningrad front. In the capital fired a salute in honor of breaking the enemy's defense.
Finnish command, trying to stop the Soviet offensive, was transferred to the Karelian isthmus, 2 divisions and 2 brigades from North Finland and South Karelia. The Finnish troops fought well, but to stop Red Army failed. 14 June, after heavy air and artillery preparation, our troops had broken through the second defensive line of the enemy. The Finnish army retreated to the third line of defense. Finnish government has requested emergency assistance from the Germans. The Finns asked six divisions, the Germans were able to send one infantry division, one brigade of assault guns and a squadron of aircraft.
One Reinforced corps from the reserve front, the Soviet troops broke through the third line of defense of the enemy army. The evening of 20 June 1944, our troops took Vyborg. As a result, within 10 days of the onset of the Russian troops have achieved the same result, which was achieved in a bloody "winter war" of 1939 – 1940, and regained the ground lost by our army in the beginning of the great Patriotic war. The red Army learned well the bloody lessons, its power and skill of soldiers, officers and generals has increased dramatically.
The Red Army, coming to the Finnish defensive line, which ran along the side of lakes Vuoksinskie water system has achieved the main objectives of the offensive. Soviet troops then developed the attack with the goal to reach the line ylä-virojoki – Lappeenranta – Imatra – Kexholm. The Finnish command, trying to avoid a complete collapse, hastily pulled up, all with powers from the depths of the country and the troops from other sectors, with South Karelia. By mid-July 1944 the Finns gathered on the Vyborg direction three quarters of the whole army. The Finnish troops were taken up mainly by water borders with width from 300 meters to 3 km Resistance of the Finns greatly increased. 10 days July the troops of the 21st army advanced only 10 to 12 kilometers. The 23rd army had eliminated the enemy bridgeheads on the right Bank of the river Vuoksa. 59-th army, which was deployed on the left flank of the advancing troops of LF in early July from the area of lake Peipsi, with the support of the Navy occupied the large Islands of the Gulf of Vyborg. Given that the main objective of the operation was decided to avoid unnecessary losses, the Soviet high command on July 12 stopped the attack. LF troops went on the defensive.

June 21, 1944 went on the offensive, the troops of KF – 32-th army of General Gorelenko and 7th army Krutikov. In connection with the redeployment of forces in the area of Vyborg, the Finnish command has reduced the front line, starting on 20 June, the withdrawal of troops from Petrozavodsk directions and other sectors of the front. On the first day of the offensive strike force of the 7th army, supported by aircraft, crossed the Svir river, broke through the main defense line of the enemy on the 12-kilometer stretch and moved into the depths of 5-6 km In the same day, troops of the 32nd army in Medvezhiegorsk direction, overcoming the resistance of the enemy, advanced at 14 — 16 km.
In the future, KF troops with the support of the Ladoga and Onega flotillas (they landed in the enemy rear assault) on June 25 released Olonets, June 28 – Kondopoga, Petrozavodsk and then. 10 Krutikov, the army came to the area Loyola and occupied the city of Pitkyaranta and 32nd army Korolenko 21 July in the area Kuolismaa reached the state border with Finland. August 9 at the turn of Kuolema — East Loimola — Pitkyaranta our troops have completed the operation.
The Operation was a complete success. Troops LP and KF hacked strong defense of the enemy army, defeated the main forces of the Finnish army. On the Karelian isthmus, our troops moved up to 110 km, in South Karelia – by 200 – 250 km. From invaders were released on the Northern part of the Leningrad region Vyborg, land of the Karelian-Finnish SSR with Petrozavodsk, Kirov railway and the white sea-Baltic canal. The red Army came to pre-state border with Finland. Thus was eliminated the threat to Leningrad from the North.
As the defeat of the Finnish armed forces has created a favorable situation for the red Army in the North direction for the development of the offensive in the Baltic and in the North. The Baltic fleet received the freedom of action across the Eastern part of the Gulf of Finland and the possibility of basing on the Islands of the Gulf of Vyborg and Björkö Islands.
A Heavy defeat on the Finnish army and the futility of further war (the threat of capture by the red Army of vital centers of Finland) Helsinki was forced to abandon the war. Finland begins to seek peace with the Soviet Union. In August, Finnish President Risto ryti resigned, his place was taken by Carl Mannerheim. 25 Aug Finnish Minister of foreign Affairs of the Enkel said that the new President Mannerheim is not bound by the obligations of this agreement with Berlin – he did not put his signature under a secret agreement, which ryti signed in June 1944. It Helsinki Berlin had guaranteed military support and the rejection of separate negotiations in exchange for arms and military materials. The new Finnish government invited the Soviet Union to begin negotiations about the world. Moscow agreed to negotiations, and if Helsinki will break relations with Berlin. 4 September 1944, the Finnish government announced a break with the Third Reich. On 5 September, the Soviet Union ceased military operations against Finland. 19 September in Moscow signed an armistice.
