The purposes of this board are to make laws and guidelines to build and control the growth of our family organization. To open all lines of communication between Chapters, and keeping a positive atmosphere among us. This Board will hold meetings once a month to discuss any and all situations and business matters that are presented to them.
Family Boss- This is the boss of the entire Ryda Family and chairman of the Organizations Board. Making sure that the Board functions properly and having the odd number, and usually last vote on decisions that confront the Board and the Family as a whole.
Chapter Representatives- These are liaisons (representatives) appointed by Chapter Captains that live out of area or state and cannot attend Family meetings. They have an opinion on the Board reflecting their Chapters, that will have an effect on the Organization and their Chapters. All Representatives should have a positive outlook on life, and be able to have the responsibility to represent an entire Chapter.
1) Be in charge of all Security matters and Security staff of each community.
2) Make sure that all Security Staff are functioning properly in their community.
4) That the Board meetings are secured tightly and all unauthorized members are not present.
Chapters are the branches of our Family's Organization that have extended into many communities of Central Florida or the Country. Chapters located outside of the Central Florida area will have different names (as they can't be Central Florida Rydaz if located outside of Florida). Other than the different names, these other Chapters may have different rules, set-up or styles. They may be street crews, car clubs, motorcycle clubs or something all together different. The rules of the Chapter is set up by the Chapter Captain, as long as they follow the Family Laws and pay Family Dues. This branching out effect gives us the opportunity to grow in numbers, strength, and what we as a Family are to become for the future.
Each Chapter helps our Family grow stronger by honoring and protecting this New Order. They set up connections in different communities. Plus the Family protection through the Bail Fund, and opportunities through the Business Funds.
It is recommended that Chapter meetings are held every two weeks to discuss any and all situations or business matters within the Chapter community, or what is to be presented to the Family Leadership Board at the monthly Family meetings. There is no Chapter smaller or greater than the other, for we are all equal under one great Nation and Family.
4)Making sure all members in their Chapter go to school or have some kind of job or trade.
1)Be ready to step up and take place of the Captain if he cannot be present to make Chapter decisions.
3)Keeping records of the Info-Forms on each member of their Chapter.
5)Insuring that all members learn the New Order and Laws.
2)Keeping in touch with the Family Board Treasurer for any finance problems.
4)Making sure that the Family Board Treasurer receives the Organizations finances to be stored in the Investment account and Bail account.
2)Inspecting and ensuring proper safety precautions are taken on Bike Runs, Car Cruises, or any activity a crew engages in.
3)Reporting all security matters to the Chapter Captain.
4)Making sure the community is well protected and a safe haven for members and their families.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the Palestinians on Sunday not to take unilateral steps towards statehood, saying Israel was working closely with Washington on ways to restart peace talks.
"We expect the Palestinians to fulfill their commitment to hold the direct talks. I think that any attempt to circumvent them by going to international bodies is not realistic and it will not advance the real diplomatic process," he said.
Peace talks that began in Washington on September 2 are in limbo over Palestinian demands for a freeze of Israeli construction on land they want for a state and Netanyahu's refusal to reimpose limits on building in settlements in the West Bank after a 10-month settlement construction freeze expired on September 26.
The impasse has raised speculation the Palestinians might abandon negotiations with Israel and launch a diplomatic campaign to seek recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Nations or other international organizations.
Last week, Palestinian Authority spokesman Ghassan Khatib said that if peace efforts with Israel failed, Palestinian aspirations for statehood should not be "held hostage" to Israeli consent.
"Peace will be achieved only through direct negotiations and I hope that we will return to this path with full force in the very near future," Netanyahu said, addressing his cabinet in public remarks.
He said Israel was "engaged in close contacts with the United States" aimed at restarting peace talks which the Palestinians suspended when the settlement freeze expired.
Diplomats have said Washington has offered Israel a package of incentives, including ideas on security, to persuade Netanyahu to resume the partial freeze for two months.
"Our aim is not just to restart (talks) but to restart them in a way so that we do not stop in a few weeks or two months," Netanyahu said, calling for a year of "serious negotiations about fundamental issues" leading to a framework peace deal.
Germany Says U.S. Federal Reserve Heading 'Wrong Way' With Monetary Easing The Federal Reserve's push toward easier monetary policy is the "wrong way" to stimulate growth and may amount to a manipulation of the dollar, German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke yesterday gave Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers meeting in Gyeongju, South Korea an overview of the U.S. central bank's efforts to jumpstart the world's largest economy. His strategy, which investors expect will soon include greater asset purchases, drew criticism at the talks, said Bruederle. "It's the wrong way to try to prevent or solve problems by adding more liquidity," Bruederle told reporters yesterday, saying that emerging-market officials were among the critics. Bruederle, a member of the Free Democratic Party, the junior partner in Chancellor Angela Merkel's government, stepped in for hospitalized Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble at the meeting. The debate over the Fed's strategy comes as the G-20's advanced nations sought to alleviate concerns over big swings in capital flows to emerging markets by promising to be "vigilant against excess volatility" in exchange rates. The U.S. central bank completed purchases of about $1.7 trillion of debt in March to support the recovery. The policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee next meets Nov. 2-3.

Enjoy Travel Cease Trading
Enjoy Travel, the company behind the Costa Del Folk events in Spain and Portugal among others, has gone into liquidation due to problems arising from coronavirus-related cancellations. In a statement on their Facebook page they say: "The timing of COVID-19 could not have been worse, with over 1200 people due to travel to a number of our overseas events between April and June, all of which have now been cancelled. In addition, we already have approximately 1000 customers booked to travel on future events in the Autumn all of which now seem to be in jeopardy… This means that the future of the company is now untenable, but because we are fully licensed with the appropriate insurance bodies you will get your money back. In order to trigger this and after seeking appropriate professional advice, we must now cease trading."
This makes Enjoy Travel one of the first major casualties in our folk world. Over the last few years, they have created something quite unique, and the company has amassed a very loyal and family-like band of supporters, many of whom travelled to Costa Del Folk in Ibiza and Albufeira every year. The goodwill and outpouring of support for the company directors and staff since this announcement was made has been quite remarkable, and it is a credit to Enjoy Travel that it has acted so responsibly by 'falling on its own sword' as it were, by going into liquidation to ensure that their customers can claim their money back.
Gerry Flynn, one of the company directors, said: "Enjoy Travel is no ordinary holiday company. It is a family, and over the years we have been privileged to meet some incredible people, many of whom have become lifelong friends. Right now, we cannot be sure of what the future holds but we sincerely hope to see you again when we are on the other side of this woeful situation. If we survive this health wise, then we will consider that to be a victory." Our thoughts are all with Gerry and his family as they work through this difficult situation, and wish them well with whatever the future holds for them.

Q3 2019 Ratings: MSNBC Remains the Second-Most-Watched Network on All of Basic Cable
NEXT:Q3 2019 Ratings: The Advertiser-Preferred Demographic, Adults 25-54 Flocked to CNN This Past Quarter
PREVIOUS:Today Is Launching Three New Franchise Series as Part of an 'October to Remember'
MSNBC | Ratings
By A.J. Katz on Oct. 1, 2019 - 5:11 PM
Once again, MSNBC finished a quarter as one of the most-watched networks on cable television; No. 2 to be exact, only behind Fox News in both total day and prime time dayparts.
MSNBC defeated rival CNN for the 10th consecutive quarter in total day viewers, and in total prime time viewers for the 11th consecutive quarter.
However, compared to Q3 2018, MSNBC struggled. The network, despite its dominance when it comes to average total audience, was -18% in prime time, and -16% in total day from last year. Its A25-54 audience is declining year-over-year as well, something that's also true for FNC and CNN. Not only did MSNBC come up short to CNN in the demo (which earned a significant boost from its two-night Democratic primary debate in Q3), but it also saw the most noticeable decline in the A25-54 measurement: -34% in prime time and -34% in total day. To be fair, the network's numbers over the past two summers have been historic, and one had to assume they were going to come back down to Earth a bit. However, NBC surely hopes to see its cable news network post some gains in 2020, despite these impressive total audience figures relative to the rest of the cable industry.
The ratings for Q3, 2019 (Nielsen Live + Same Day data):
Prime time (Mon-Sun): 1,532,000 total viewers / 228,000 A25-54
Total Day (Mon-Sun): 880,000 total viewers /128,000 A25-54
On the programming front – The 11th Hour with Brian Williams remains a standout. It was the most-watched cable news show in the 11 p.m. hour for the 5th consecutive quarter, but finished No. 2 in the demo behind Fox News @ Night with Shannon Bream.
The 11th Hour celebrated its third anniversary on MSNBC in September.
Morning Joe beat CNN New Day in total viewers for the 18th consecutive quarter and among adults 25-54 for the 9th consecutive quarter.
The Rachel Maddow Show topped her 9 p.m. CNN competition in the demo for the 11th consecutive quarter, and averaged a larger total audience than CNN for the 40th consecutive quarter. On the downside, MSNBC's most popular show fell to fourth place behind a trio of Fox News programming this past quarter.
TRMS celebrated 11 years on MSNBC in September.
Additionally, every hour of MSNBC's weekday programming from 5 a.m. – 3 a.m. beat CNN in total viewers,
Here's MSNBC's press release:

Definition - What does Atomization mean?
Atomization refers to separating something into fine particles. It is the process of breaking up bulk liquids into droplets.
The range of metals that can be atomized extends to all metals that are capable of being melted industrially.
Atomization is the process of converting an analyte in solid, liquid or solution form to a free gaseous atom. In other words, it is the transformation of a bulk liquid into a spray of liquid droplets in a surrounding gas or vacuum.
For example, during the gas-atomization process, molten steel is atomized into fine metal droplets, which cool down during their fall in the atomizing tower. Metal powders obtained by gas atomization offer a perfectly spherical shape combined with a high cleanliness level.
Atomization occurs as a result of the competition between the stabilizing influences of surface tension and viscosity of the liquid, and the disruptive actions of various internal and external forces.
Spray combustion: This involves the atomization and burning of liquid fuels.
Spray drying: This involves the spraying of a solution or suspension into hot gaseous surroundings for production of a powder of the solute or solid.
Agricultural spraying: For insecticides or fertilizers.
Are there some anti-corrosion applications in which airless spraying is a bad idea?


What happens when a Democratic Senator such as Elizabeth Warren, (who made fighting for middle-class families her life's work), and a Republican Senator Corey Gardner from opposing sides of the aisle meet in the middle? Federalism and another step toward a sensible and responsible policy on cannabis.
The Senators teamed up for a Marijuana State's Right Bill that will enable States the authority to pass their own cannabis laws even if in conflict with the Federal government's law. Currently anyone using marijuana legally under state law is still at risk of being prosecuted under federal law. Moreover dispensary owners in states where marijuana is legal are unable to use Federal banks, given under Federal law the dispensaries are engaging in a federally illicit act. The result? All cash businesses.
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) set his personal position against the the legalization of marijuana aside for common a common sense bill and to head the call of the people of Colorado. Sen. Gardner stood up to US Attorney General Jeff Sessions by withholding all nominations for the Department of Justice in response to Session's Cole Memo recision earlier in the year.

In bright and beautiful color, see some of the most beautiful sights in and around Utah's Salt Lake City in 1900 – including the Mormon Temple, the Tabernacle, the Salt Palace, and the impressive Victorian Saltair Pavilion!
It has, perhaps, more attractions to the square yard than any city in the country, and its climate, while temperate all the year round, is particularly delightful in summer. The Great Salt Lake, with its magnificent Saltair resort, where the water is "deader and denser" than that in the Dead Sea in Palestine, an attraction in itself that people come when to see.
There are many cool mountain and lake resorts nearby, numerous very pretty canyon trips, parks, drive, hot and warm sulfur springs, and fishing and hunting in every direction.
The trip from Denver to Salt Lake City and Ogden by the Rio Grands Western railway, in connection with either the Colorado Midland or Denver & Rio Grande railroads, is one of unsurpassed pleasure. Here, nature is found in her sternest mood, and the whole line is a succession of rugged canyons, waterfalls and picturesque valleys.
No European trip can compare with it in grandeur of scenery.
After a pleasant hour's ride down a green valley, bordered on the east by a spur of the Wahsatch mountains, and on the west by the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake and the mountains beyond, we reached the Mecca of the Latter Day Saints — Salt Lake City.
As we approached the city, we could see, towering far above the buildings, a glittering golden angel — the Angel Moroni — with trumpet ready to sound the blast that shall call the faithful to their reward.
Under this beautiful image we knew was the celebrated Mormon Temple. Having only two hours stay in the city, we immediately took a car to the temple. In the middle of the main street approaching the temple stands a large statue of Brigham Young. The statue is much larger than life-size, and in bronze on a granite pedestal about twelve feet high. On each side at the base are historical scenes in Mormon history — all in bronze.
Passing this monument to the memory of the greatest Mormon leader, one sees on his left a high wall of stone, which encircles three sides of the temple. At the gate, one reads that visitors are not al owed to enter the temple, but may visit the tabernacle, which is located in the rear of the sacred building.
While the temple does not appear large at first glance, as you walk around it the immensity becomes apparent, and you begin to wonder at the industry of the people who built it. Just forty years were occupied in its construction. The interior of this building is open only to the members of the church of Latter Day Saints, so we did not enter.
One of the most popular places of summer amusement in the western country is the famous Utah Salt Palace located in Salt Lake City. It has been in existence but a few seasons. During that time, however, it has secured a strong hold upon the people.
Connected with its immense indoor bicycle track, which, during the semi-weekly meets, attracts tremendous crowds, and where numerous world's words have been broken, not a few of them by Salt Lake wheelmen. The management also conducts regular theatrical and vaudeville performances. The surroundings are exceedingly picturesque and the grounds well-kept.
We did enter the Tabernacle, and marveled at the wonderful acoustic properties of its auditorium. As we stood at one end of the massive room, a man two hundred feet away whispered to us and then dropped a common pin on the railing, both of which we heard distinctly.
As we passed out of this strange tortoise-shaped building we purchased a book printed by the church, the title of which is: "Pictures and Biographies of Brigham Young and his Wives" — and he had only twenty-six, by the way.
After strolling around and trying vainly to estimate the number of rooms in the "Lion House," which was the home of Brigham Young, we ate lunch in the California restaurant and boarded the train for Saltair, which is eighteen miles from the city.

The signs are good that Luka Jovic (r.) and Andre Silva (l.) will form a prolific partnership for Eintracht Frankfurt. - © DFL
Andre Silva and Luka Jovic: Eintracht Frankfurt's new dream duo?
Luka Jovic has returned to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan from Real Madrid and finds in Germany a brother-in-shooting-boots in Andre Silva - could the prolific duo become the Bundesliga's most potent partnership?
"Luka is coming home," said Frankfurt boss Adi Hütter as the Serbia international striker packed his bags in the Spanish capital to return to the club where he spent two fruitful, goal-filled seasons between 2017 and 2019.
"Luka can use the next few months to find his way back to old strength in a familiar environment," said sporting director Fredi Bobic. "Real Madrid know that he's in good hands with us and that he can develop here. And it is clear to us that we have another excellent option up front."
There is no doubt Jovic should quickly feel comfortable at the Commerzbank Arena, though with him lining up alongside Silva, life for Bundesliga defenders is about to get a whole lot less pleasant. Make no mistake: this pairing could be the most prolific of the Rückrunde.
Watch: Andre Silva's Goal of the Month winner back in June
They share a number of similarities: both joined big clubs, and both arrived in Frankfurt with something to prove. Silva came to Germany following a disappointing spell at AC Milan, and after a successful loan spell made the move permanent last summer; Jovic returns from an underwhelming 18 months at Madrid having already revived his career at Frankfurt after joining - initially on a two-year loan from Benfica - in 2017.
They also boast an out-of-this-world scoring record in the Bundesliga. Jovic's first campaign saw him net eight times in 22 league matches, but it was his second where he caught fire: 17 goals in 32 Bundesliga games were richly supplemented by 10 strikes in 14 UEFA Europa League outings to finish with 27 goals as well as seven assists in 48 competitive appearances.
"We know just how much talent he has," said former Frankfurt teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng. "He only has to prove it. And he's doing that week after week now." "Jovic is just unbelievable! He has outstanding timing and a feel for the goal," added club and country teammate Filip Kostic.

Jovic was involved in 34 goals in 34 league starts for Frankfurt - we don't need to help you work out that jaw-dropping ratio, do we? - scoring 25 of those himself. His new strike partner Silva has contributed to 29 goals in 30 starts, netting 23. Just imagine what beautiful music they can make together…
"Players from other leagues need time to adapt," said Frankfurt sporting director Fredi Bobic last February as Silva started to take flight with the Eagles…just before the COVID-19 enforced break.
The Portugal international, now 25, ended the 2019/20 season with a more-than-respectable 12 goals in 25 league appearances, though the fact eight of those strikes came in his final 10 appearances of the campaign suggested Bobic was right.
The former Stuttgart and Germany international forward's smile will be all the broader now with Silva having already netted 11 league goals in just 14 outings in 2020/21, including two in last weekend's Rhine-Main derby win over Mainz. That's 19 goals in the former Porto man's last 24 Bundesliga games, the sort of stat that must make opposing centre-backs come out in a cold sweat.
If it does, they should stop reading now, because it is only going to get scarier.
The pair have remarkable efficiency: four shots per goal for Silva, five for Jovic. They both boast five headers among their goals tally with Jovic scoring 10 each in the Bundesliga with either foot. Silva has netted the all-important opening goal six times in his German top-flight career so far - three for Jovic - and puts away nearly two 'big chances' of every three he gets. "He's our all-round entertainer up front, and he does it really well," gushed Hütter of the Portuguese front man earlier this season. Now, he has two of them.
Watch: The best of Luka Jovic
The question is: how will the Eintracht boss juggle them? And how will they play off each other?
The fact that neither of them has a long-distance Bundesliga goal suggests they might tread on each other's toes in opposition penalty areas, but quality players always find a way of linking up, and other stats suggest they will. And quite effectively too.
Jovic, who worked brilliantly with Sebastien Haller and Ante Rebic in his first spell in Frankfurt, has nine league assists in his 34 starts, Silva has tallied 6. Between them, they cover over 12 miles a game on average - happily, split into six miles apiece - and boast a 'duels won' ratio of around 45 per cent each. Those are not the numbers of players purely obsessed with massaging their own figures.

"Andre works a huge amount for the team and chases down opponents, that's very important for us," said Frankfurt midfielder Sebastian Rode. "Andre works so hard for the team, even when he doesn't score," added Hütter, who knows Jovic well enough from the Serbian's previous spell to be able to blend the prolific pair into a partnership.
"The most important factor is the coach, "said Jovic as he explained the development of his understanding with Haller and Rebic in his first Frankfurt spell. "He gives us the freedom to show our quality on the pitch."
If the Austrian tactician was able to do it with three players before, it should be even easier with just two.

It is possible to change a life – a story from Safehouses records:
Aimee – never thought of herself as having a problem, not until Social Services became involved in her life. She was used to looking after her young brothers, going to the chip shop every night for £1 worth of chips to feed them all, and not going to school because Mum said she had to stay at home to look after her brothers while she went out.
Aimee knew that she was often hungry and that her Nan got upsets with their Mum and sometimes gave them a bath and a hair wash, in her little flat, but then Nan died. A Social Worker took Aimee to a children's home, away from her brothers and she rebelled. Then they took her to foster carers in the countryside. There were animals, home cooked dinners, someone to talk to, and space just to be herself. It took some getting used to and she had her ups and downs, but when she grew up she said, 'My Foster Mum and Dad showed me another way to be.' She is now a self-reliant adult, in a stable relationship with two sons of her own. She is a frequent visitor to her old foster parent's home and has a career as a paramedic, is friends with her birth mother and she understands the pressures that she was under, but Aimee knows how she wants her life to be…

CJ Fair tries to work around the Michigan defense in last night's Final Four matchup in Atlanta. The Orange suffered a 61-56 loss against Michigan.

Michigan marches to NCAA title game with a 61-56 victory over Syracuse
By Micky Shaked
The Orange fade on college basketball's biggest stage, letting the chance slip away of returning Syracuse's first national championship since 2003.
Many phrases received six foot burials leading up to the Final Four:
Nobody expected Syracuse to make the Final Four.
The Syracuse 2-3 zone gives teams fits if they can't shoot three pointers.
Jim Boeheim is retiring after this season.
The truthiness in each is debatable (except for the last one after tonight's press conference—he is not). But one obvious point that few expected to come to light before Syracuse's 61-56 loss to Michigan in the NCAA Championship semifinal proved to be the straw that broke the donkey's back:
"They got it down to one (point). I couldn't be prouder of this team."
- Coach Jim Boeheim
Latest Final Four updates, photos, videos and more.
You can't win a game with one player—or one and a half for that matter.
Despite C.J. Fair's best efforts to turn the paradigm on its head and carry the entire Orange Nation on his back, his 22 points and six rebounds fell just short of heroic.
Aside from Fair the Orange shot 40 percent (14-35) and 18 percent from three (2-11). Triche was the only other Orange to hit double figures with 11.
Short of suggesting he was the only player to step up, Fair acknowledged his role as the team's leading scorer all season. "I feel as though I've got to produce at a high level for this team to have a shot to win. If I don't do well on offense then I don't think we have a good chance at winning."
Playing on the biggest stage college basketball has to offer, Michael Carter-Williams and James Southerland picked curious nights to turn in less than desirable performances. Between the two, the freshman ball handler and senior sharpshooter committed as many turnovers (seven) as they had points, making just 20 percent of their shots. To put that in perspective, the Orange had forced teams to commit more turnovers (67) than field goals made (61) in the first four games of the tournament.
"Looking at James, he definitely missed some threes that he normally makes," Fair said. "When you depend on that player to make those shots it kind of hurts because you know he can make that. He had a little off night but he stuck with it."
Southerland, the team's second-leading scorer all season with 13.5 points per game, did contribute two timely baskets in the game's final two minutes when the result was still very much in the air.
The first a thunderous dunk at 1:58 to cut the Michigan lead to four, and the second a long three with 41 seconds left to pull the Orange within a point.
If the SU season ended prematurely, Carter-Williams' came to a close a minute and 14 seconds earlier when he lowered his shoulder into Tim Hardaway Jr. after handing the ball to James Southerland at the top of the arc and was called for a charge. Thirty seconds prior, Carter-Williams picked up his fourth foul on a dubious blocking foul that looked like a charge by Hardaway Jr. on the replay screen.
Triche, applying pressure with Carter-Williams, saw the play unfold better than most of the 75,000-plus in attendance and questioned the call. "If it wasn't a charge, think it was, you know, a play where they shouldn't have called a charge at all or a foul at all," he said. "I thought he was in pretty good position."
Triche's spectacular college career ended in a similar fashion. With 28 seconds left and Syracuse down by two, Triche brought the ball up the court and drove the right side of the lane, beating Caris Levert. Jordan Morgan slid over to take the contact and Triche was called for a charge, sending him to the bench. "I was just trying to make a play for the team," Triche said. "I probably should have made a better decision. Probably should have pulled up."
As far as head coach Jim Boeheim was concerned, Syracuse shouldn't have been in a position to tie or take the lead so late in the game. Michigan freshman Mitch McGary's jumper from the free throw line put the score at 53-45 with just under four minutes to play. "They had the game pretty much under control with an eight-point lead," Boeheim said. "They got it down to one. I couldn't be prouder of this team."
The defense clamped down as it did the entire second half. Michigan didn't make another shot until Jon Horford's dunk as the clock expired, relying on the free throw line to keep them ahead—though missed free throws let Syracuse back into the game three times in the final 1:09 of regulation.
"Second half we got our defense going a lot better and got back in the game in spite of our offense," Boeheim said. Syracuse held their opponents—the best offense Boeheim feels his team faced all year—to just 25 second-half points. The difference came in the first half when Michigan exploited the vaunted 2-3 zone defense with six three-pointers and 10 points in the paint.
"Our activity level went up," assistant coach Gerry McNamara said. "In the first half we were letting the ball get in the high post a little too easily. The guards needed to do a better job of keeping it in the high post. When it got in there we were letting McGary throw it down to the baseline and that's the forwards and the center. We all were a little bit at fault with a lack of activity in the first half. "
But basketball has two components, and both need to fire on all cylinders to win at the highest level.
"Our offense was not good in the first half or the second half," Boeheim said. That is about as accurate a statement as he could make on a night when the four Syracuse starters not named CJ Fair only outscored the Michigan bench by one point.

Campaign Chronicles
The Fall and Rise of Kamala Harris
By Dana Goodyear
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris appeared together at a virtual campaign fund-raiser on Wednesday.Photograph by Carlos Barria / Reuters
To look at Presidential politics in 2020, you'd think that the one concept unifying the nation was a longing for a befuddled white paterfamilias. There's the gentle and genial one, tinkering in the basement, and then there's the other one, ranting, Lear-like, in the helicopter wind. Vice-President Mike Pence, another member of the white-hair club, reportedly, though born in the twentieth century, calls his wife "Mother."
Then, on Tuesday, Joe Biden selected Senator Kamala Harris to be his running mate, fulfilling his debate-stage pledge to choose a woman, and satisfying an expectation by many on the left that he would pick a woman of color. Several days ago, a hundred prominent Black men, from Bishop William J. Barber to Sean Combs, wrote Biden a letter warning, "Failing to select a Black woman in 2020 means you will lose the election." They were following up on the urgings of prominent Black women—advocates, strategists, activists—who had been writing letters and op-eds for months. Jotaka Eaddy, a political strategist and former adviser to the N.A.A.C.P., organized a collective of Black women around the hashtag #winwithblackwomen. "Black women represent sixteen million voters in this election," she told me. "We are the highest and most loyal voting block in the Democratic Party. There hasn't been for forty years a pathway to Democratic victory without the work of Black women. It is high time that we are seen not just as the backbone but as the leaders we are."
Harris, a longtime friend and supporter of President Obama—and someone who has been called, to her annoyance, "the female Obama"—grew up in the East Bay, the child of politically active immigrants from Jamaica and India. She's the first Black woman and first Asian woman to be on a major-party ticket. Her presence on the ticket is historic: whatever happens next, it makes a relic of the multiple factors that previously would have conspired against her being there.
Firstdom is a role that Harris knows from a political career nurtured in San Francisco, where she served as the county's first female and first Black district attorney. The same designation applied when she became California's Attorney General, in 2011; when she was elected to the U.S. Senate, in 2016, she became that body's first South Asian and second Black woman. I Profiled Harris for the magazine in 2019, during her Presidential run, and she espoused confidence that she'd win it, and set precedent again.
There are a number of ways to explain why Harris's Presidential bid didn't work: lack of ground game; questions of authenticity; no galvanizing, breakthrough message. But she seemed to be swimming against the tide from the earliest days of her campaign—mistrusted by an influential faction of progressives who resented her attempt to align—belatedly, they felt—with the criminal-justice-reform movement.
In 2018, the social-media activist Shaun King named two Democrats he was "99% sure" he would not "be supporting – primarily because of their dismal history on criminal justice reform over the course of their entire careers." You got it: Biden and Harris. To the Party's leading edge, she was an agent of a status quo, whose job it had been to incarcerate men of color in the state with the second-largest prison population. They saw her as, at heart, a cop, someone who had failed to use her executive power as D.A. and A.G. to make significant changes to law-enforcement practices. She was the D.A. who had, once upon a time, threatened parents of truant children with jail. Therefore, not the right Black woman for the job.
As a Black Presidential candidate, Harris didn't have space to talk about her evolution on race and criminal justice. Instead, she rebuffed critics who implied that she had not sufficiently empathized with or advocated for communities of color by reminding them that she is Black, and grew up in America. There was nothing she didn't know, from daily experience, starting as a child in Oakland. Her star turn during the primary season was the moment at the second debate when she announced, "As the only Black person on this stage, I would like to speak on the issue of race." She did not, she said, consider Biden to be a racist. But. He had made choices during his long Senate career, including recently talking about his friendly collaboration with known segregationists, that were extremely hurtful. He had also, she reminded the room, opposed school busing in the nineteen-seventies. This was not a controversial position at the time, but she made it so, turning to the camera and saying that there was a girl in California whose life had been changed by busing. "That little girl was me," she said. He was not a racist, and maybe he didn't intend it, but policies have people at the other end. His, she suggested, would have denied her the opportunity she deserved.
It was a heady moment of confrontation, in spite of its unspontaneous feeling, and it yielded Harris a nice bump. It was also Harris's last moment of glory; six months later, she had dropped out of the race. But the moment seemed likely to linger awkwardly, dooming a future political partnership. Biden has the luxury of being a white politician who can come around, with time and through listening, to more enlightened views. He gets points for growth. His choice of Harris is perfectly coherent within the narrative of broadening.
On Tuesday, evolution was in the air. Shaun King greeted Biden's announcement with a tweet. "That's it for me," he wrote. "I am incredibly proud to see a brilliant Black woman, and HBCU grad, chosen as a Vice Presidential nominee. I've done political work my whole life. It's rarely things dreams are made of. Kamala Harris is the most progressive VP nominee in American history." If others could not praise her, they at least muzzled their complaints. It was a pretty cheerful day on liberal Twitter.
Jess Morales Rocketto, an alumna of the Clinton and Obama campaigns who advocates for domestic workers and family reunification, told me that the selection of Harris, with whom she has worked closely but not always completely agreed, thrilled her in a way it might not have a year ago. "I was so naïve as to what could happen," she said. "People thought that what Trump was doing a year ago was rock bottom. It turns out that's not true. That it can get way, way worse. The stakes ratchet up so high." It is no time for qualifications or asterisks. She said that she looks forward to working with Harris when she's in the White House, wrestling over policy gaps that might exist between them, like friends do. "Today I'm just going to celebrate," she said. "We're in a triple pandemic of racism, a public-health crisis, and an economic crisis. It's necessary to have joy and celebration."
Note: A previous version of this post erroneously referred to Harris as the first Asian woman elected to the Senate.

How A Spy's Defection Changed His Son's Life
The fallout from an East German spy's defection to the West continues to be felt by his son, Andy Stiller Hudson, who grew up without knowing about his father, or his career with the Stasi.


A Crone Ceremony honors womyn who no longer bleed. This is a celebration of great wisdom and sharing with others. Many womyn can recognize the spiritual stages of maiden or mother, but avoid thinking about old age and the crone stage. There is a great loss and no room for the vision of dignity, wisdom and grace actually embodied in this stage of our evolution.
This is a time when we can sit back to interpret and provide inner insight and wisdom to our events, surroundings and dreams that come our way.
We gather as womyn young and old to share our stories and proclaim our power; viewed as a passage, an extraordinary journey that comes only with age. The ritual is a beautiful, moving and life changing ceremony that honors who you are in your wisdom years. Our younger "Moonies", as we like to call them, take wonderful care of us wise crones as do other crones within our circle.
As womyn move into the Crone Energy, we can no longer ignore our inner world; swallow our truth, ignore our wants and needs. Our bodies won't let us. Our path takes on a new meaning and a degree of importance with grace for ourselves and our globe. May the fire of your Being rise to the surface and push you to proclaim your truth. With a gentleness and acceptance that comes from knowing and loving yourself, embrace and celebrate your entire crone year's ahead and live life to its fullest filled with love, wisdom, compassion, grace, and fun.
Crone Ceremonies always add depth and richness to your life. Even if you have already been Croned, it is good to meet once a year to reconnect, share with elder crones, and celebrate the new crones entering this stage also.
Call for our next Crone Ceremony females of all ages are welcome.
Free to be me, supported by my sisters!

The 18th Infantry Division (18. Dywizja Piechoty) was a division of the Polish Armed Forces. The division was originally part of  Polish Army during the interbellum period, which took part in the Polish September Campaign. Stationed in Łomża and commanded in 1939 by Colonel Stefan Kossecki, it was part of the Narew Independent Operational Group.

The division was re-established in its modern form in September 2018 and renamed to the 18th Mechanized Division as part of an expansion of the Polish Army, partially as a result of heightened security threats to Poland. The division will have achieved initial operating capacity by the end of 2019, with further strengthening of the formation to be completed by the mid-2020s.

History
It was formed in 1919 from the units of the Blue Army.

Interwar
Between 1919 and 1939, Łomża and neighboring towns were located very close to the border of Poland and German province of East Prussia. Defense of this area was regarded as crucial in any future conflict, so 18th Division was regarded as an elite unit. More than 50% of its soldiers were local conscripts from northern Mazovia and Podlasie, whose patriotism was highly appreciated.

Invasion of Poland
The Division assembled on August 30, 1939, and the next day it occupied defense positions along the Narew river. Until September 3, it had a limited contact with the Wehrmacht. It was then ordered to take positions previously held by the Polish 41st Infantry Division. On September 7, it left Ostrołęka and was ordered to halt the advance of German 21st Infantry Division near Nowogrod. The efforts of Polish soldiers were mixed, but on the night of Sept 9-10, it attacked a German armored column, destroying several vehicles and tanks.

During the next days the Division was engaged in heavy fights with units of General Heinz Guderian's XIX Army Corps. After several bloody skirmishes, the Germans severely wounded Colonel Kossecki. Twenty volunteers, who wanted to take his body from the battleground, were killed by a German machine gun. Kossecki himself survived, but was captured by the Soviets and probably killed by them in the Katyn massacre. The division effectively ceased to exist.

In the night of September 13–14 the Germans massacred 200 Polish POWs, gathered in the courtyard in the barracks in Zambrów (the Zambrów massacre).

21st century
The reactivation of the Division was announced by the Polish Ministry of Defence in September 2018 as part of the effort to expand and modernize the Polish Army amidst heightened tension with Russia. Initially, the division will be two brigades strong, with the already formed 1st Warsaw Armoured Brigade and the 21st Podhale Rifles (Mountain) Brigade making up its strength. The division will be further strengthened by the creation of a new brigade, the 19th Mechanized Brigade, which is in the process of being formed as of 2019.

Structure of the 18th Mechanized Division

The 18th Mechanised Division (nicknamed The Iron Division) is headquartered in Siedlce and is organised as follows:

 18th Staff Battalion in Siedlce
 1st Warsaw Armoured Brigade "Tadeusz Kościuszko" in Wesoła
 19th Lublin Mechanized Brigade "Franciszek Kleeberg" in Lublin
 21st Podhale Rifles Brigade "Brig. Gen. Mieczysław Boruta-Spiechowicz" in Rzeszów
 18th Logistic Regiment in Łomża

You also can't join them for a morning workout class because you'll still be asleep. But missing out on friendship can lead to depression—we are social creatures after all.
Though you may be awake for the same amount of time, you aren't experiencing as many daylight hours. The day naturally feels shorter. You feel rushed. You feel like the day is ending when it barely just began, since the sun is dropping, and you've only been up for a few hours. This feeling that the day goes by too fast increases the feeling that life goes by too fast, which can also trigger depression.
The mere fact that you aren't up with most of the sun means you aren't getting vitamin D, one nutrient many people are low on, and one that you need for many important functions.
You start to eat at odd times. Breakfast is at 11am. Lunch is at 5pm. So, when everyone else is having meals, you're in the middle of work. You wind up having to eat a lot of meals alone, which can feel very sad.
You spend less time with your romantic partner because he's on a regular sleep schedule. So, when he wants to have dinner together, you're in the middle of your workday. You never go to sleep or wake up together, either. You share a bed, but you barely spend time together in bed.
In addition to eating alone because of your new eating schedule, you also eat less healthfully. It's funny how being awake late at night, when nobody else is, has a way of convincing us that half a pizza at 1am doesn't count. But it does.
Adjusting your sleep schedule can lead to headaches. Oversleeping or being low on sleep causes the blood vessels in your brain to expand and contract in a way that can lead to headaches and can even trigger migraines.

Thanks to the collective power of the internet, a Michigan photographer has found the mystery couple captured in a stunning image of a proposal at Yosemite National Park.
Matthew Dippel snapped the photo on Oct. 6 while hiking with a friend in the national park in California, he told WOOD-TV. The jaw-dropping image of a man on bended knee as a woman extends her arm on Taft Point quickly went viral after the photographer posted it on social media seeking the couple's identity.
Dippel wrote on Saturday that he tracked them down. He has identified them as Charlie Vo and his fiancée, Melissa. The couple live in Alhambra, California.
Vo told the photographer he captured "the second proposal, the more special and official one." The husband-to-be told WOOD-TV the couple originally got engaged in Utah in Feburary, surrounded by friends and family.
"Huge congratulations to you two. I wish I was able to meet you in person and hug you. I'm glad I finally found you to share this special moment with you, thanks for being so awesome, maybe one day we will finally meet in person!" Dippel wrote.
Vo thanked Dippel in an Instagram post for not only capturing the special moment, but for taking the time to track them down. The husband-to-be also expressed gratitude for the "inter-webs for spreading the word."
The popular overlook is the same one where two people were killed last week in a fall.

Our platform connects brokers directly with investors, enabling brokers to launch their own virtual insurance companies and products, and creating a new investment asset for investors. Insurance is broken: it's expensive, complicated and slow to meet customer needs. It's because all decisions are made by a handful of people in a small number of big insurance companies, riddled with bureaucracy.
Black is going to fix insurance by introducing a democratic, blockchain-based marketplace for creating virtual insurance companies that can design and sell their own, innovative insurance products. These products will be backed by security tokens issued in the future ICO-s, allowing crypto investors to tap into insurance profits.
Since blockchain enables to turn administering of insurance policies much more efficient, these products will also be less expensive and provide more profit upside.
Black Insurance is one of the most ambitious ICO backed company since it addresses the entire $4 trillion insurance market. Our team, comprised of seasoned insurance and technology executives, stands prepared to take advantage of this opportunity.


This post was originally published on Hitsomebody.com but was heavily referenced in a recent episode of our podcast. For ease of reference, the article is replicated here.
Among the many changes that were implemented in the transition from the classic World of Darknessinto what is now known as the Chronicles of Darkness, one particularly interesting one was the decision to transition from a Judeo-Christian focus to a more agnostic one. So much of the classic World of Darkness was based on theology that it was quite jarring to read the Chronicles of Darkness books and just not find many direct religious influences. Let's explore it.
Vampire: The Masquerade is where it all started. This was the original game in the line and straight from the get-go, it was steeped in theological influences. In this game, all vampires (well, most vampires. Let's not dwell too much on Kindred of the East…) are assumed to be descendants of the first vampire, Caine.
Caine was the first son of Adam and Eve, and brother to Abel and Seth. As in the Bible, Caine killed his brother, Abel. Unlike the biblical account, Caine was then cursed with vampirism and became the first of his kind. The details that follow are slightly hazy and are explored in the The Book of Nod. Caine was an incredibly powerful being in World of Darkness, with each generation of vampire that followed becoming weaker as the purity of his blood is diluted.
Thus, the entire first game in the line was based on a story from the Bible, albeit one that was then taken in a completely different direction. The vampires come from Caine who was cursed by God. The game implicitly states that the Christian religion is true and that the world has been shaped by the Christian God. Other games in the classic World of Darkness line continue this theme.
While young vampires may scoff at the mortals who hunt them, their elders remember a time when robed monks rode from haven to haven, using the twin weapons of fire and faith to destroy the undead. But the Inquisition did not die in those dark ages. Its soldiers still roam the earth and the Damned fear it more than any other group of mortals. Begin your search for those elusive spirits known as the Restless Dead.
This tied directly into the 'Year of the Hunter' event that White Wolf was running at the time, promoting their new game, Hunter: The Reckoning.
They say angels once rebelled against God and were cast out of Heaven. Hunters don't know if Scripture gets it right, but they do know one thing: Darkness has fallen and its Hell on Earth. Things that can be called no less than demons walk among us, tempting the righteous, corrupting the innocent and orchestrating the end of the world. Can they be stopped before the Devil gets his due?
Hunter: The Infernal explores the blasphemous realm of demons as hunters desperately seek out devils' strengths, fears and weaknesses. But the tempters have discovered hunters, too, and are willing to strike a bargain. Can hunters possibly drive the infernal host back into the Pit? If they can't, there will be Hell to pay.
This book is clearly based directly on Christian theology and, crucially, heavily foreshadowed one of the final games released for the classic World of Darkness line, Demon: The Fallen.
Demon: The Fallen is the most directly Christian of the classic World of Darkness games. You are playing as a character who has literally interacted with God. You are dealing with characters who were there when God created the world. There is really no doubt at this point that in the classic World of Darkness, Christianity is truth and all other religions are fabrications. This is even explicitly stated in Demon: The Fallen, where fallen angels have created alternate religions to garner belief, one of the game's key resources. The supplements, such as Fear to Tread, further develop these ideas, as well as providing a ton of really cool demonic art.
At this point, given that by the time Demon: The Fallen came around, White Wolf were actively encouraging crossovers and interactions between their game lines, there really should be no non-Christian vampires and, to a lesser extent, very few non-Christian monsters from any of the lines. They have fallen angels walking among them as living proof of God.
Mage: The Ascension represents one of the few exceptions to the exclusively Christian creation stories. It explores many different creation stories and the Christian viewpoint is really limited to one specific tradition of mages. Whilst the Verbana represent pagan beliefs and witchcraft, Christianity is representing the The Celestial Chorus, a group of mages who believe in the Abrahamic God and who believe that all other religions represent a different facet of this same God. This tradition aside, Mage: the Ascension is the most open and theologically diverse game that White Wolf put out in the classic World of Darkness era.
Satan's get infest the world. Blood-drinking demons and savage creatures prey on good Christians or lead them to heresy. Even the Holy Mother Church itself teems with devils in man's flesh. But God Almighty has seen fit to choose some to stand against the tide of darkness. With sword and torch in hand, we search out the evil that lurks in the night.
We are the Holy Inquisition.
Dark Ages: Inquisitor is a book for playing members of the Inquisition in the Dark Medieval world. Members of secret orders operating by papal sanction, Inquisitors hunt the devils and degenerates who prey on men and defy God, from blood-crazed vampires to pagan warlocks. Inquisitor provides complete systems for making characters (from wielders of holy magic to warrior-monks), a whole new system for blessed abilities, and much more. This book requires the use of Dark Ages: Vampire.
The heavily Catholicised setting bears its religious influences front and centre. Whilst other titles deal with characters that exist in settings shaped by Christian theology, this is the game that lets – nay necessitates – you play as zealously religious (read: Christian) characters. It's understandable, of course, given the time and location (Europe) of the setting, but still, it's yet another directly Christian influence in the classic World of Darkness.
Despite the amount of Christian influence in the classic World of Darkness, there are definite exceptions. Games like Orpheus, Changeling: The Dreaming, Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Mummy: The Resurrection have few or no overt Christian themes. These, with the exception of Werewolf: The Apocalypse, are relatively minor games in the series which do not have many books in their lines. Even Wraith: The Oblivion, a confusing mess of a game set in 'the underworld', does not really have much in the way of Christian influence, dealing with more generic, dark spirit world rather than any solid ideas of heaven or hell.
The new World of Darkness line was recently renames as Chronicles of Darkness. I will be referring to the setting under the new name. The first core book for the new game did not really make any huge claims regarding God, but it did introduce a new concept that was then picked up and developed for the second edition of the game, entitled The God-Machine Chronicle.
The God-Machine is a sentient, supernatural, extremely powerful and alien entity, similar to an occult supercomputer, with an interest in Earth. It is described as the Creator in The Testament of Marco Singe, the so-called "Pain Prophet" of New Delhi, although whether it is actually the Creator or not is impossible to prove and Singe was wrong on several counts, such as demons being creatures created from normal animals, when true demons are fallen angels, algorithms of the God-Machine who came to question their purpose and rebelled, losing their connection to it in the process.
What is known is that it is fully deserving of the title, having long since passed the point where Clarke's Third Law ("any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic") applies, knowing of physics undreamed of to mortal scientists and with the capacity to use them. The only limit on its power is its need for an "occult matrix", an extremely precise supernatural manipulation of physical laws, reliant on Infrastructure, in order to work its miracles. Even mortals can disrupt a forming matrix, but the God-Machine feeds on its own growth; frequently, a complete occult matrix will summon a new angel into the world, who can oversee and construct more Infrastructure, which can complete more summoning matrices, ad infinitum.
The machinations of the God-Machine are a central concern in the second edition of the core game.
Naturally, Demon: The Descent deals pretty directly with some aspects of the God-Machine. Specifically, it deals with the purpose, nature and creation of angels – agents of the God-Machine. Angels in Demon: The Descent are constructs, created to complete a specific mission or fulfil a specific purpose. Angels are valuable and, once their mission is complete, are either put into stasis until needed again, or cannibalised and recycled to create other angels in the future. They exist to complete their missions, and this should be their only concern, though their minds are capable of understanding complex concepts such as mortality or self-interest. Often, when they reach this level of self-awareness, they 'fall', developing true consciousness and refusing to return to the God-Machine to be dismantled.
There is definitely religious language being used in the descriptions of these entities, and the idea of angels being servitors and demons being angels who have deviated from God are clearly reminiscent of the biblical account of angels and demons. It's all just framed so much more agnostically. What it does not do is explicitly rule out the idea of a creator. Like many spiritual questions in the Chronicles of Darkness, that is left open to speculation.
Vampire: The Requiem does away with the biblical origins of vampire, as explored in Vampire: The Masquerade. No longer are vampires clearly defined as the progeny of Caine, but nor do they have any confirmed, clearly defined and widely accepted origin story. The nature of generations and aging has changed in this game, with Vampires now gaining power over time, rather than deriving it from the concentration of their blood, as defined by their distance from Caine, generationally. As they age, and as their power increases, vampires must also eventually enter a long, deep sleep before their blood is too concentrated and they are taken over by the beast within. This hibernation affects the vampire's memory, and so even the eldest of vampires will not have clear memories of their earlier years.
I am God's holy monster, the drinker of mankind. For so long, I could not see the role I would play, because I looked for it with human, mortal eyes. So I put forth the truth in these pages, for you who seek as I have sought. I am not some godless beast who stalks beneath the dark grandeur of sanctity. I am the grandeur. I am sanctified.
With this approach, there is still huge scope for using religion in your games, and faith is an important part of the background, but there is no outright assertion that Christianity is 'true', leaving important questions open to interpretation.
This approach of incorporating aspects of faith, instead of direct religious content is continued in the game, Hunter: The Reckoning. The approach to religion and faith in this line has changed very little from the days of Hunter: The Reckoning. There are religious individuals, and religious fervor can lead characters to take up the mantle of a Hunter, but there is no overt examples of divine intervention or the presence of a God.
The shift in religious tone was one of the biggest changes between the World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness lines. The gothic feel of the original World of Darkness games benefitted from the over religious themes of Vampire: The Masquerade and Demon: The Fallen, but these themes also caused significant problems. Demon: The Fallen is particularly problematic, and raises the question of why there would be any non-Christian monsters, as they share the night with being who have literally experienced God, and who were there when the world was created.
The Chronicles of Darkness did away with the gothic feel of the older lines, preferring instead to explore wider horror themes. The lack of an overarching metaplot, like the out of control one we had for the original World of Darkness, is also a factor in this, as White Wolf clearly intended to leave a lot of options and questions open to us, allowing us more freedom in our own stories.
Overall, I like the shift in tone between the two games, but I don't think it has to be a matter of one or the other. Both sets of games still have their place and although they can be similar (Vampire: The Masquerade or Vampire: The Requiem?) they are actually fundamentally quite different. There is room for both approaches, and it does come down to personal taste. I can see though, why White Wolf would change this approach, not only to open up the story potential of their games, but also to avoid limiting their readership by being heavy-handed and potentially judgemental about religious belief.

I reacreate dateSource of collectionView with new layout, new fetch request (with other sort on sections) on NSFetchResultController, and change cell. App crash on "dequeuereusablecellwithreuseidentifier" after second recreate dataSource (first use first cell and first use second cell works good on reuse first cell i get an error "message sent to a deallocated object").

Q: Cannot convert anonymous method to type 'System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority' because it is not a delegate type I want to compile this WPF code and get this error.
public void SetContentObject(Type contentType)
        {
            this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate(Type input) //Error here <-
            {
                object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(input);
                this.Content = obj;//this.Content declared as object
            }, new object[]
            {
                contentType
            });
        }

Edit 1:
Using .NET 3.5. 4.0 not allowed

A: Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() method should pass the delegate without parameters (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0b1bf3y3.aspx). You can pass your parameter be declaring it outside your anaimous method. UPDATED
public void SetContentObject(Type contentType)
    {
        Type input;
        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(delegate
        {
               object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(input);
               this.Content = obj;

        }), new object[]
        {
            contentType
        });
    }

A: You might be confused with Invoke and BeginInvoke:
public void Invoke(Action callback, DispatcherPriority priority)

//no priority is allowed below.
public DispatcherOperation BeginInvoke(Action a)

You go to court and win a monetary judgment, sometimes after several years and expending a significant amount of time and money. This does not mean, though, that you automatically get the money. If you have a judgment, it is your responsibility to collect it through judgment executions and garnishments.
What most do not appreciate is that this process often becomes a case itself. Furthermore, there are numerous assets and income streams that are exempt from executions/garnishments. Section 513.430, RSMo: enumerates a host of exempt property that cannot generally be seized by a creditor: social security benefits, certain disability benefits, unemployment benefits, certain amounts of equity in a motor vehicle or primary residence, etc. Importantly, many types of retirements accounts (eg, IRAs, 401(k)(s)) are generally exempt from execution/garnishment. This is significant because for many individuals retirement accounts and assets constitute a large portion of their net worth.
It is important, then, to continue to consult with legal counsel about the viability of collecting assets owed under a judgment. Contact with questions.
