In June, Herman van Rompuy, President emeritus of the European Council and former Prime Minister of Belgium, delivered the inaugural Annual Brendan Halligan Lecture. Van Rompuy addressed whether there was a future for Europe. He pointed out that with the eurozone and refugee crises, Brexit and populist threats, the demise of the EU was forecasted by many. In his view, the European idea is more resilient than many expected. He emphasised however that we have to work hard to reconcile the citizens with national and European politics. He remained optimistic for the future but warned that collectively a nation or a union can make dramatic mistakes, with consequences they do not expect or can foresee. There is a window of opportunity created by the latest challenges in the EU and he urged that this fully be used to the advantage of the EU. The event was followed by a reception co-hosted by the Permanent Representation of Ireland to the EU.Permanent Representation of Ireland to the EU

Memphis Police Officer Hit By Car | Memphis Personal Injury Attorneys
March 21, 2016 •
According to a News Channel 5 report, a Memphis police officer was hit by a car in a Downtown parking garage located at the Washington Ave and North 4th St intersection. Though the officer was sent to the hospital, he was listed in non-critical condition.
The report claimed the driver suffered from a medical condition.
I'd like more details. What was the "medical condition?"
And, if he knew he had a medical condition that may cause this kind of incident, he should know not to drive – that's negligence.
Did the medical condition develop right at that moment causing him to hit the police officer with no notice? Then, it may not have been negligence. But, if I had to guess, I'd say that wasn't the case – that it wasn't an all-of-the-sudden medical condition and the incident could have been avoided.
For the police officer, the trick would be to not give the insurance carrier an excuse to deny coverage under an intentional act theory.
Worker's compensation is also a factor in this incident but must be repaid from the proceeds of the negligent third party.
Darrell Castle & Associates has handled personal injury cases in Memphis for over 30 years and treats each case with the respect and integrity it's entitled to while fighting for the compensation the client deserves. A car accident lawyer Memphis, TN motorists work with from Darrell Castle & Associates can help you recover damages from the driver who caused your injury.

Objective: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most frequently carried out operations worldwide. The purpose of this article is to analyze the costs of hernia repair and to specify the loss or profit made under the conditions in the Czech Republic with respect to the currently used medical devices and approaches.
Methods: This article is based on the Drummond and O'Brien methodology, which specifically determines the content of direct and indirect costs in health services. The costs of operations during the period 2010–2014 were specified for a total of 746 patients. The cost details are described for four patients who represent the use of different types of medical devices. The procedure was a laparoscopic surgery in all cases.
Results: The total costs of inguinal hernia repairs (as per 2015 currency conversion rate) are €1,248,579; only part is covered from public funds, resulting in a loss of €218,359 for the hospital. The obtained data indicate that this operation is unprofitable for hospitals under the present conditions. The loss in the subject facility amounts to 17% of the total cost, which is the cost incurred by the hospital in the Czech Republic.
Conclusion: The study conducted in the Czech Republic refers to different economic results when using various medical device types. So the medical device selection depends on advantages or disadvantages for the patients, as well as on the cost effectiveness for the hospital.
Keywords: hernia, laparoscopy, cost, medical device, Czech Republic


homeless | Fidel's Wandering Eye.
Everyday on the news we hear about millions of people who are homeless and starving in cities and countries other than our own. We hear about places we can drop off used clothing items, addresses we can mail money orders and websites we can donate to. We hear about hungry children, broken homes and abandoned family members.
But how can we help any of those people in any of those cities in any of those countries…when we can't even help ourselves?
Filed under Blog Quickies, Hear Me Roar, Really America?
The United States of America. I love this country, I love another country as well because I grew up there and consider it home, but having lived here the last 20 years or so makes makes me as American as I am Italian (as does the combination of my American father and my Italian mother). One thing that I've seen, in the USA as well as Italy, is the ever-increasing number of homeless on the streets. I feel a certain pain inside my soul when I see someone in those conditions, not because I don't want to help, but because I can't help…at least, not by myself. Although this is a beautiful country we live in, we can't seem to find a way to take care of our own citizens…let alone anyone else's.
There has to be a way to come together as a whole. There has to be a way to provide food, shelter and decent living conditions to the civilians of this great nation…especially to its veterans, who have fought tooth and nail for it. I know that it's possible. I know because I have been around the world, and I've seen the good that mankind (and womankind) can do. I know because while in Union Square here in NYC one day, I saw a man approach another man. They didn't know one another as far as I could tell. They had only the shirts on their backs and the bags in their hands. But when one asked another if he could have a cigarette, a cigarette is what he got…no questions asked.
If two people who have nothing can give to each other, why can't we all..?
I shot this from the backseat of a taxi while on assignment in Delhi, India.
This little girl was weaving in and out of the traffic that had stopped for a red light…she was begging for money and food. Not visible in this photo, her legs were dirty and her feet were shoeless. I remember thinking to myself how in the United States, a young person with her look might model, or do television commercials.
But in her country, in her city, she was just another street kid with no hope for a real future.

The Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act 1892 (55 & 56 Vict. c. 47) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed by Lord Salisbury's Conservative government.

Local authorities were not making sufficient use of powers to combat animal diseases so the Act introduced central control over the slaughter of infected animals and the payment of compensation.

Estimation of the production cost of fast pyrolysis bio-oil
J.G. Rogers, John. G Brammer
Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry
A number of papers and reports covering the techno-economic analysis of bio-oil production has been published. These have had different scopes, use different feedstocks and reflected national cost structures. This paper reviews and compares their cost estimates and the experimental results that underpin them. A comprehensive cost and performance model was produced based on consensus data from the previous studies or stated scenarios where data is not available that reflected UK costs. The model takes account sales of bio-char that is a co-product of pyrolysis and the electricity consumption of the pyrolysis plant and biomass pre-processing plants. It was concluded that it should be able to produce bio-oil in the UK from energy crops for a similar cost as distillate fuel oil. It was also found that there was little difference in the processing cost for woodchips and baled miscanthus.

"When we founded FixNation 10 years ago, Mark was the one who came up with the name. Not FixLA but FixNation. We're making strides to expand the scope of what we do because that was his greatest dream. This will be Mark's legacy," Karn explained.
Mark was a passionate lover of cats since the age of eight. After graduating from UCLA, he did two years of active duty in the Army, went to law school and met and married Karn, a former entertainment executive. They had a number of pet cats throughout their long marriage, but it wasn't until 1988 when their devotion to animals took a life- and career-changing turn.
After much research and networking, the couple devised a plan and pitched it to Best Friends Animal Society. Their proposal for a monthly mobile spay/neuter clinic staffed entirely by volunteers was approved and partially funded and went on to great success—Catnippers has fixed more than 18,000 cats since 1999.
Karn and Mark realized they needed to do more—a lot more. As an attorney, one of Mark's strengths was research, and the research showed there was only one viable solution for out-of-control populations of homeless cats. It wasn't mass euthanasia. It was Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), whereby cats are trapped, sterilized and returned to their place of origin to live out the rest of their days, and allowing the number of unwanted births to naturally and gradually decline.
With TNR as the core of their mission, Karn and Mark moved forward with plans for a permanent facility to address the city's rapidly growing homeless cat population. In 2007, they launched FixNation, the first full-time spay-neuter facility in Los Angeles to provide a comprehensive TNR program—free spay/neuter services for homeless cats, TNR outreach and education, free training and loans of humane traps, affordable services for pet cats and partnerships with rescue organizations to facilitate adoptions.
Over the past decade, FixNation has become a model for TNR and cat population management across the country and beyond (e.g. a new sister program in Israel), and has provided free services to more than 146,000 cats. Mark and Karn's dream has been a huge success, raising awareness of the issues involved, proving that TNR works, and inspiring other communities to develop their own programs.
About five years after FixNation launched, the couple received a devastating blow. Mark was diagnosed with a rare form of ALS, a fatal disease that in his case was likely triggered by exposure to Agent Orange in the Vietnam War.
For several years, Mark remained as active as possible, overseeing grant proposals, reviewing legal issues and attending special events and board meetings—even after he became completely paralyzed and was only able to communicate with eye-tracking computer technology. As time went on and his capacities steadily diminished, Karn took on more and more responsibilities for FixNation.
"It was an enormous challenge to do everything without the help of my partner, especially when Mark was such a tour de force in terms of fundraising and networking. He was the face of FixNation. But what keeps me going are the cats. FixNation is the only clinic in the country that does what we do at the volume we do—and we do it all for free.
"What would happen if FixNation wasn't around anymore to help these homeless cats and prevent needless deaths and suffering? This is why we have to keep on doing what we're doing. To keep Mark's dream alive," Karn explained.
In the wake of Mark's death, FixNation's many cat-loving supporters will be more important than ever.
"Mark was a visionary and his passion was infectious," Karn said. "He wanted to have the clinic operating at full capacity seven days a week. Establish new partnerships with rescue groups. Coordinate more airlifts and ground transfers to other communities seeking adoptable cats. He aspired to have an even broader reach, save even more lives, prevent even more births.
Donations may be made in Mark's name c/o The Mark S. Dodge Legacy Fund. On behalf of Mark's memory and on behalf of all homeless cats in need, we sincerely thank you for being a friend of FixNation.

I've just upgraded to Blocs 5 and the first thing I have noticed is the dropdown page navigation that used to be in the top right corner has disappeared. This was a handy feature rather than flicking between layer and page panels on the left. Is there some new trick to switching between pages quickly without having to flick between the layer tree and page panels that I am missing?

It's at the top of the layer tree left side.
I think you missed my question, where did the quick and easy dropdown page navigator go (top right) that was in Blocs 4 so you didn't have to keep flicking between between the layer tree and page panel?
Norm November 27, 2022, 10:07pm #4
It's in the layer tree, the first layer, it's a drop-down menu.

Ahh, great. I'll be honest in say that's not very easy to see or indicate it's the page nav dropdown, but thanks for your help
It makes way more sense as all navigation is together now.

It is common for your employees to be engaged in an accident while performing their duties during the working hours while in the company's premises. Most of these injuries occur because there are no adequate measures which are put in place to counter the most common accidents in the workplace. Due to the inadequacy of measures that are put in place to protect employees from accidents, there is an increasing rate at which workplace injuries are happening which may critically cost the company. This article is going to note down some of the top reasons why you should implement measures to safeguard your employees from injuries.
Your business is sure that it is going to enhance its productivity if it has put up enough mechanisms to protect the employees from the danger of being injured. If you have invested in enough safety systems, you are assured that your business will operate at optimum because all your employees are available to perform the various functions in your business. If any of your employees is injured, there is going to be a gap that will be filled by the remaining colleagues which is going to strain them and therefore lower the organization's productivity. Because your organization is operating at the low productivity than usual, you are likely going to make fewer profits and thus not be able to expand your business.
A huge number of employees at the workplace will have an effect of causing the employees to lose psyche and the consequence of this is that your organization will not achieve the goals as planned. This is a risk because if employees of other competitor organizations are very motivated to work hard, you will be lagging behind in the industry. It is also beneficial to enhance the safety in your organization because you're going to save a lot of costs that are associated with the insurance you have provided your employees with. You are also going to save a lot of time that you would spend in the courts trying to settle cases in which your company has been sued for negligence and use this time to concentrate on your core activities. Most people will be pleased with an organization which has put up mechanisms to prevent their employees from being injured. An organization which values the safety of their employees is going to enjoy the benefits of hiring the best personnel during the recruitment process because most people looking for jobs will apply first in this kind of organizations. With no doubt, all factors at play are pointing towards the great importance of preventing injuries for your employees.


Microinsurance, like any other development agenda, goes through ebbs and flows. In the last decade there was a period of rapid innovation were new entrants and products targeted the low-income space. This was driven by pioneer regulators in countries such as the Philippines, South Africa, India, to name a few, as well as insurers and third-party intermediaries like MicroEnsure and BIMA.
As before, the Network and its members will play a critical role in facilitating the coordination across stakeholders in exploring such new territory. I think there is much shared value to be unlocked in this space and I look forward to working with the community to grow that value within the Network.
David is the senior knowledge manager at Cenfri where his work has focused on packaging Cenfri's work in microinsurance and retail payment systems, supporting projects in Bangladesh, China, Mozambique, South Africa and Tanzania and coordinating open-enrolment and in-housing trainings on microinsurance and national payment systems in Kenya, Malawi, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

It's funny how often a simple Jell-O dish can raise sticky questions. Jellied Ginger Upper gave me a weird sort of deja vu. I couldn't remember, or find any evidence of, having made this before, making the "reboot" status of this one a little shaky. At the same time, I remembered making a Jell-O recipe that included ginger ale. Was it this one? I did a little digging and found that, nope, it was Ginger Peach Dessert. I can't imagine why I was confused.
So this is one of those simple ones, and I think it was the right one for this long holiday weekend. Apart from boiling water and a little lemon juice, the only ingredients are Jell-O ("any red flavor"), diced peaches or pears (canned or fresh), and ginger ale.
The ginger ale was another ingredient that might have been ripe for tinkering, had I not already done it with the Ginger Peach Dessert. I had assumed that ginger ale would have too mild a flavor, and substituted ginger beer. Normally Bryan and I really like ginger beer (the more gingery the better, preferably spicy enough to make us sneeze) but it turned out that it didn't go well with Jell-O. Live and learn.
In this case, it turned out that ginger ale does go well with raspberry Jell-O. The flavor of the soda (or "tawnic", as my mother-in-law would say) is subtle but recognizable. The mildness of the pears was a good fit, and anyway, peaches would have made it almost a repeat of Jellied Peach Melba. One interesting similarity that I noticed between Jellied Ginger Upper and Ginger Peach Dessert is a somewhat soft-set texture. The gelatin is firm enough to hold a molded shape, but the mouthfeel is softer than one might expect. I wonder if that has anything to do with the carbonation of the ginger ale, although since it gets added to the hot Jell-O liquid, I would think that the carbon dioxide would outgas quickly (and the mixture did get quite foamy as I slowly poured in the ginger ale) and not leave much in the way of bubbles to affect the texture of the set gelatin.
Possibly I need to do further research on this. It occurred to me that another direction to go with off-book gelatin dishes might be soda-flavored jellies, which could be fun, and it could be interesting to see whether it's the carbonation affecting the texture. Stay tuned!

Ontario Standardized Lease Agreement Form
By ganzer
Most landlords must use the standard lease for leases signed on April 30, 2018 or after April 30, 2018. This rule applies to most rooms, houses, apartments and condos that you rent. However, it does not apply: the new form contains mandatory clauses and standardized information that landlords must make available to tenants who must enter into a written lease on April 30, 2018. Owners can add clauses to section 15 of the new standard form of rental to address conditions and/or describe the responsibilities that apply to their lease or rental unit. Tenants cannot apply for a standard lease if they have entered into a lease before April 30, 2018, unless they and their landlord negotiate a new lease with new terms on or after that date. The Ontario government plans to develop standard leasing forms for each of these types of leases in the near future. If the landlord makes the landlord available to a tenant after the tenant has applied, but the tenant does not accept the proposed terms (z.B. a new life is added), the tenant may give the landlord 60 days to cancel an annual or temporary rent. Currently, there is no form of mandatory rental for landlords/owners and tenants in Ontario. However, from 30 April 2018, the new form will be required for most new private residential rents. While the new form provides for additional conditions, property owners/managers should ensure that these conditions do not change the new form or violate the law. If this is the trap process, property owners/managers will not be able to impose it. The standard rental form is available on the Ministry of Housing website.
There is one version that can be printed and completed, and another version that can be filled on a computer and then printed. The appendix to the new form contains additional information on each section of the new form. The annex also sets out the rights and obligations of each tenant, for example: before renting an apartment or house, the landlord and tenant want to cover themselves with a legal document. This goal is achieved through a rental agreement. This contract is between the lessor and the tenant (s) in Ontario. It is signed by both parties. Tenants and all occupants of the premises, including but not limited, are not allowed to sell, distribute, grow, multiply or harvest cannabis or cannabis plants without the meaning of the cannabis law, SC 2018, c16 and the Cannabis Act, SO 2017, c26, as amended from time to time, anywhere in or on the premises rented by the tenant, in the building where the tenant`s premises are located, or in one of the public spaces or adjacent lands of such a building, violations of this provision are considered a substantial violation of the tenancy agreement and the reasons for termination of the lease.

Steal These Guns
The 10 best secondhand deer slayers you can buy
By David E. Petzal
Guns Photographed by David LawrenceField & Stream Online Editors
Not all babies are beautiful, not all dogs are smart, and not all used rifles are good buys. But some of them are terrific bargains because shooters and hunters are as nuts as any other hobbyists and constantly trade firearms.
If you are looking to buy used guns, the first thing you need to know is that they fit into one of six categories, depending on their condition:
[BRACKET "Poor"] The gun is pitted and rusted, may not be in working order, and may not be safe to shoot. Forget it.
[BRACKET "Fair"] It works and is safe to shoot, but it has taken a beating. Consider only if it's dirt cheap and you don't mind paying to have it touched up, or if you want to do the refinishing yourself, or if you want something to knock around.
[BRACKET "Good"] It's in fine working order, but repairs or replacement parts may be needed. It should have 80 percent of its original finish.
[BRACKET "Very Good"]The gun should have more than 90 percent of its original finish, be in perfect working order, have no replacement parts, and need only very small repairs, if any.
[BRACKET "Excellent"] Just short of brand-new, it shows only the most minor signs of wear and use.
[BRACKET "NIB (new in box)"] It's just as it came from the factory, with all the tags, stickers, labels, and everything else. This category is more for collectors than shooters.
The prices for the guns that follow are only for those in good, very good, or excellent condition. Fair or poor guns cost considerably less, and for a reason. Also, these firearms are my personal favorites. There are lots of great bargains out there besides these.
The 10 Best Used Guns
Browning A-Bolt Shotgun
Browning High-Power Bolt Action
Marlin 1895G Lever Action
Savage 99 Lever Action
Remington 788 Bolt Action
Remington 760 and 7600 Slide Actions
Remington 700ADL/BDL Bolt Action
Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action
Weatherby Mark V Deluxe Bolt Action
Ruger Super Redhawk Revolver [NEXT "Browning A-Bolt Shotgun"]
**Browning A-Bolt Shotgun **
This 12-gauge slug gun, made from 1995 to 1998, had a 3-inch chamber and came in a Stalker model with a graphite-fiberglass composite stock and a Hunter model with a walnut stock. There were two versions of the A-Bolt. One had a 22-inch full-length rifled barrel, the other a 23-inch smoothbore with a screw-on rifled tube for the muzzle.
I shot only one-a full-length rifled Stalker-and never forgot it. It was the most accurate slug gun I've ever used. The only reason I can think of for its short production run is its price-it cost $700 to $800 new. People were probably not willing to spend that, to their loss. You should be happy to find one with either a od or synthetic stock and the rifled barrel. I doubt the smoothbore would shoot as well.
GOOD: $400 VERY GOOD: $550 EXCELLENT: $650 [NEXT "Browning High-Power Bolt Action"] ******Browning High-Power Bolt Action **
This gun was made by Fabrique Nationale in Belgium (on Mauser actions) from 1959 to 1975, and by Sako (on its actions) from 1961 to 1975, and was chambered for everything from .222 to .458 Winchester. There were three grades: Safari (the plainest), Medallion (fancy), and Olympian (very fancy). You are interested in the Safari grade because the other two are sought after by collectors and cost a lot.
Be aware that Browning used salt-cured wood for the stocks on some High-Powers. (I have no idea why.) This is certain to cause rust and can't be fixed, nor are replacement stocks available.
As for calibers, look for a .270 or . 30/06. My recollection of the High-Power is that it was a hard kicker in the bigger calibers.
Although they are plain, the Safari grades are fine guns-excellent metalwork, good wood, hand checkering, and a general reek of quality, not to mention true Mauser and Sako actions. Light and reliable, they handle well. If someone were to make one today, it would cost $2,000.
GOOD: $575 VERY GOOD: $750 EXCELLENT: $900 [NEXT "Marlin 1895G Lever Action"]
**Marlin 1895G Lever Action **
The 1895G (G is for Guide) came out in 1998 and won our Best of the Best Award that year. Chambered for the ancient but useful .45/70 cartridge, it is short (18¿¿-inch barrel), light (7 pounds), and handy. Though it is still in production, it is listed because the price for a new blue-steel version is only $668. Used ones go for much less.
This is a rugged little gun with two personalities. Used with factory ammo, it's effective and surprisingly light kicking. With souped-up, cast lead¿¿¿bullet loads such as those made by Garrett, it will open a can of whup-ass on anything. Hang on.
GOOD: $170 VERY GOOD: $300 EXCELLENT: $400 [NEXT "Savage 99 Lever Action"]
This great gun had a 100-year run (1899¿¿¿1999), and there are a lot of them out there. The 99 comes in two versions, one with a rotary magazine and one with a detachable box magazine, which was introduced in 1965 as a cost-cutting measure. If I were in the market for a 99, I'd look for the rotary: It is the ultimate in lever-action class and cannot be made today at a competitive price.
Caliber? Go for a .250 Savage, although you'll pay for it. Other than that, a .300 Savage or .308. If you should find a .284, pass it up. The ammo is hard to come by.
The surest indicator of the 99's worth is that collectors have glommed on to it. Because there are so many variations, and so many factors affecting prices, let me quote a devoted 99 collector:
"I continue to buy 99s in good condition in modern hunting calibers. Top price so far for a cherry-condition late .308 was $400. Two days ago I was pleased to get a good-condition 99 for $275. The average cost of the 99s I've bought for speculation is $320. But prices are going up."
[NEXT "Remington 788 Bolt Action"]
This dead-plain rifle, made from 1967 to 1983, was accurate all out of proportion to its modest price. I used to have one in 6mm Remington, and a better-working gun you couldn't want. I note that prices for 788s are starting to rise, as people are becoming aware of its many lovable qualities. One point to consider: A number of 788s were chambered for the 7mm/08 cartridge, which I consider highly desirable, and for which you can add 20 percent to the figures below. If not that, then look for a .308. GOOD: $375 VERY GOOD: $425 EXCELLENT: $500 [NEXT "Remington 760 and 7600 Slide Action"]
I don't think rapid fire is necessary in a deer rifle, but there are many who feel differently, so here's a pair of fast shooters that I can live with. The Model 760 appeared in 1952, morphed into the 7600 in 1982, and is still alive and well. Yes, it has a poor trigger pull, and the slide wobbles. On the other hand, slide actions can really make the lead fly, and they're far more reliable than the average auto and surprisingly accurate, too. There are many variations and calibers; these are general prices for both models.
For cartridges, look for .30/06, .270, the underrated .280, or if you can find one, a .35 Whelen.
GOOD: $250 VERY GOOD: $300 EXCELLENT: $350 [NEXT "Remington 700ADL/BDL Bolt Action"]
Introduced in 1962, this is one of the most successful designs ever. There are hundreds of thousands of 700s out there, in scores of models and variations. The ADL is the plainer grade, the BDL the fancier one. The latter comes with a hinged floor plate and other bells and whistles. Beware of Model 700s that have had their triggers diddled. Many people have tried to adjust them and most have botched the job. If you have one with a trigger that pulls less than 3 pounds, you have an accident waiting to happen. Take it to a gunsmith and have him fix it. These prices are for the ADL; for the BDL, add $50 to $100.
The 700 has been chambered for every cartridge known to man, but you're best off with the same choices as for the 760 and 7600.
GOOD: $200 VERY GOOD: $250 EXCELLENT: $325 [NEXT "Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action"]
Let's first rule out the pre-1964 Model 70. All you have to do is mention it and people get all teary eyed and start hauling out outrageous sums of money. Believe me, some of those guns were real dogs. The worst example I've come across was a Model 70 Alaskan in .375 H&H;, offered NIB at a price of $4,500 (twice its legitimate value), that would not feed from the magazine.
Let's stick to the post-1964 Model 70s made by the U.S. Repeating Arms Co. and forget the push-feed vs. controlled-feed nonsense. If the rifle works, it works, and who cares? I think the best bargains right now are the Sporter, the Lightweight, and the Black Shadow, which is finished in a matte black. Prices are for all three models, but the Sporter may run $50 more, grade for grade. As for calibers, why get fancy? Go with a .308, .30/06, or .270.
GOOD: $250 VERY GOOD: $300 EXCELLENT: $350 [NEXT "Weatherby Mark V Deluxe Bolt Action"]

Today, in the unpublished opinion United States v. Zachery, the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's 300-month sentence of the defendant, Anrique Zachery. Zachery's counsel questioned whether the sentence was unconstitutionally excessive. Additionally, Zachery filed a pro se brief, claiming that the district court failed to consider necessary sentencing factors under § 18 U.S.C. 3553(a). In affirming, the Fourth Circuit held that the sentence did not violate the Eighth Amendment and that the district court adequately explained the basis for the sentence.
Zachery pled guilty to two counts: (1) conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and 280 grams or more of cocaine base under 21 U.S.C. § 846; and (2) possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A). Zachery was sentenced to a 300-month minimum sentence.
On appeal, Zachery argued that the sentence constituted cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eight Amendment. In reviewing this claim de novo, the Fourth Circuit applied the two part test from Graham v. Florida, first looking at whether the gravity of the offense and the severity of the sentence led to an inference of gross disproportionality.
The Court noted that the 300-month sentence was the minimum possible sentence that a defendant could receive for this combination of charges. Noting that this penalty might be considered "cruel," it could not be considered "unusual" given the congressional sentencing guidelines. Because the punishment did not lead to an inference of gross disproportionality, it was unnecessary to analyze the second factor. Accordingly, the Fourth Circuit held that the sentence did not violate the Eighth Amendment.
Zachery claimed that the district court failed to consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3353(a) sentencing factors and that failure to do so was not reasonable. The Court reviewed the reasonableness of the sentence for abuse of discretion. In order to find an abuse of discretion, a court must find that the sentence was not procedurally reasonable or substantively reasonable. The defendant bears the burden of providing evidence that the sentence was not reasonable.
In holding that the sentence was procedurally reasonable, the Court focused on the district court's explanation for the basis of the sentence. The Court found that the district court provided a sufficient basis of explanation, specifically referencing § 3353(a) factors and properly calculating the sentence according to the guidelines. Furthermore, the Court emphasized that every § 3353(a) factor need not be explicitly discussed when calculating a proper sentence.
Additionally, Zachery failed to provide any evidence to rebut the presumption of substantive reasonableness. Therefore, the Court held that the district court did not abuse its discretion.
Accordingly, the Fourth Circuit held that the 300-month sentence did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment and the district court was reasonable in explaining the basis of the sentence and properly applying the sentencing guidelines.

Guidelines on how users can access and use your website.
Resort Life Maldives Private Limited is a Ministry Of Tourism approved Travel Agency and existing under the laws of Maldives Company Registration, Number C-815/2006 with registered offices at Aquzz, Ground Floor, Dhigga Magu , Hulhumale, Maldives. Resort Life ('the Company', "we", "us" and "our") accepts bookings subject to the following conditions. Except where expressly stated, these conditions only apply to tour arrangements booked by the client with Secret Paradise and which Secret Paradise agrees to make, provide or perform (as applicable) as part of their contract with the client. All references in these conditions to "tour", "holiday" "booking", "contract" or "arrangements" mean such tour arrangements unless otherwise stated.
The contract is between Resort Life and the client ("the client" and "you" in these conditions), being any person travelling or intending to travel on a tour operated by the Company including any person who is added or substituted after booking. We both agree that Maldives law (and no other) will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (except as set out below). We both also agree that any dispute, claim or other matter of any description (and whether or not involving any personal injury) which arises between us must be dealt with by the Maldives Courts of Law only. No employee of the Company other than a director has authority to vary or omit any of these terms.
A signed booking form and a deposit of 20% of total booking in USD$ made at time of booking is required. At times, such as in the event of a group booking, a higher deposit maybe required which will be advised at the time of booking. If a booking is made 45 days or less prior to your arrival date, the full payment of the cost of the tour is required with your signed booking form. The booking is binding on the Company only when it has issued confirmation in writing. Any person submitting a booking, or on whose behalf a booking is made, is responsible for ensuring that the payment of any sums due in respect of the booking is duly made to the Company.
The Company reserves the right to decline any bookings.
The Company is not under any obligation to dispatch any tickets, vouchers or documents until full payment of the booking has been received by the Company or its authorised travel agent.
While the Company will do its best to operate all tours as advertised, it reserves the right to change and correct errors in any of the facilities, services, prices or itineraries provided by email or described on our the website at any time before or after your booking is confirmed. Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a significant change. If a significant change has to be made, the Company will inform the client as soon as reasonably possible, if there is time before departure. In the case of any material modification or of cancellation, the Company will, if possible, offer alternative arrangements or, if these are not acceptable, a full refund of monies will be paid. When offering alternative arrangements the Company will, if accommodation is affected, endeavour to provide an alternative in the same area. If the Company is only able to offer a lower classification of hotel it will refund the difference in the price.
Force Majeure: Except where otherwise expressly stated in these conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any injury, damage, loss or expense of any nature as a result of "force majeure". In these conditions, "force majeure" means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include actual or threatened war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, disease, fire and all similar events outside our control.
The Company reserves the right to cancel a tour in any circumstances but will not cancel a tour less than 45 days before the start of the holiday except for force majeure (see clause 5c), or the client's failure to make all payments (including the final balance and any surcharge) when due. Please note, some tours require a minimum number of participants to enable us to operate them (cruises for example). If any tour does not have the minimum number of participants required to make it commercially viable, we are entitled to cancel it. We will notify you of cancellation for this reason not less than 45 days before the start of your tour. If we have to cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure and the cancellation does not result from your failure to pay, we will offer you the choice of purchasing another available tour from the Company (paying or receiving a refund in respect of any difference in price) or receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us. We regret we cannot meet any visa, vaccination or similar costs in the event of any change or cancellation by us.
Similarly, you are advised only to book fully flexible transport and other arrangements which can be cancelled or changed without charge, we cannot pay any cancellation, amendment of other charges you may incur in relation to any transport or other arrangements which you have to change or cancel as a result of the cancellation of your tour.
We promise to make sure that the tour arrangements we have agreed to make perform or provide, as applicable, as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that, subject to these conditions and the other information which forms part of your contract with us, we will accept responsibility if your contracted tour arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted tour arrangements. Please note, it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what our employees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the time acting within the course of their employment (for employees) or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for agents and suppliers).
We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following: – the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the client(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your tour and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable or 'force majeure' as defined in clause 5c above.
Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which any supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised by us and we have not agreed to arrange them as part of our contract. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any advertising material or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you. Any optional excursions or activities booked during your holiday do not form part of our contract as these are all arranged for you directly by the suppliers concerned – please see clause 12 Excursions below.
The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract – and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred – will be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided. Please bear in mind that standards of, for example, safety, hygiene, and quality may vary throughout the destinations, services and transport your tour involves and may be lower than or different to those applicable in your own country. This is particularly important where liveaboard dive boats are concerned, when the clear limitations of being on such a small vessel must be accepted. If the particular services which gave rise to the claim or complaint complied with the local laws and regulations applicable to those services at the time, the services will be treated as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of your home country which would have applied had those services been provided in your home country. The exception to this is where the claim or complaint concerns the absence of a safety feature which might lead a reasonable holiday maker to refuse to take the tour in question.
You must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require. You must also tell us and the supplier concerned about your claim or complaint as set out in clause 6. If asked to do so, you must transfer to us or our insurers any rights you have against the supplier or whoever else is responsible for your claim or complaint (if the person concerned is under 18, their parent or guardian must do so). You must also agree to cooperate fully with us and our insurers if we or our insurers want to enforce any rights which are transferred.
We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your tour is confirmed. We will advise you of any error of which we are aware and of the then applicable price at the time of booking. Once the price of your chosen tour has been confirmed at the time of booking, then subject to the correction of errors, we will only increase or decrease the price in the following circumstances. Price increases or decreases after booking will be passed on by way of a surcharge or refund.
A surcharge or refund (as applicable) will be payable, subject to the conditions set out in this clause, in the event of any change in ourtransportation costs or in taxes or fees payable for services such as landing taxes, embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports or airports, Maldives Tourism Tax or Maldives Guest Service Tax. Any variation in cost will be calculated on the divergence from the exchange rates on which quoted prices are based. Any variation in cost will be calculated on the divergence from these exchange rates. Variation in taxes or port fees, where they are included in the package price, will be calculated and amended at cost. You have 14 days from the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice to tell us if you want to cancel or purchase an alternative tour. If you do not do so, we are entitled to assume that you will pay the surcharge. Any surcharge must be paid with the balance of the cost of the tour. Please note that tour arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your tour due to contractual and other protection in place.
Clients agree to accept the authority and decisions of the Company's employees, tour leaders, representatives, and agents whilst on tour with the Company. If in the opinion of any such person(s) or any other person in a position of authority (such as, for example, an airline pilot, hotel manager, dive guide / dive instructor or dive centre manager), the health, level of fitness or conduct of a client at any time before or during a tour is endangering or appears likely to endanger the health or wellbeing of the client or any third party (including any other clients of the Company) or the safe, comfortable or happy progress of the tour, the client may be excluded from all or part of the tour without refund or recompense. Where a client is excluded, the Company will have no further responsibility towards them (including any return travel arrangements) and we will not meet any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the exclusion. In the case of ill health, the Company may make such arrangements as it sees fit and recover the costs thereof from the client. If a client commits an illegal act (including, for example, causing any damage, bringing alcohol on to a local island) the client may be excluded from the tour and the Company shall cease to have responsibility to/for them as above. No refund will be given for any unused services. When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be made direct to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier or to us as soon as possible. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party's full legal costs) as a result of your actions. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you if this situation arises. If you have any medical condition or disability which may affect your active participation in your tour or the tour arrangements of any other person or have any special requirements as a result of any medical condition or disability (including any which affect the booking process), please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the proposed tour and/or making the booking. In any event, you must give us full details at the time of booking and whenever any change in the condition or disability occurs. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your active participation in your tour or the tour arrangements of any other person develops after your booking has been confirmed.
The Company's website contains statements representing its honest belief that the facts as shown are correct. Every reasonable effort has been made to describe fully, and as honestly as possible, the tour offered and every reasonable attempt will be made to supply what has been described.
The Company reserves the right to make changes to the information, prices and itineraries set out on the website prior to confirming a customer's booking and, provided such changes have been notified to the customer prior to his submitting a booking form or accepted by the customer after submission of the booking form prior to the Company's confirmation, then such changes shall be binding on the parties.
