Mads Mikkelsen is Michael Kohlhaas
by Freja Dam
Mads Mikkelsen stars as Michael Kohlhaas in Arnaud de Pallières' adaptation of the classic German 1811 novella.
Last year's winner of Best Actor in Cannes Mads Mikkelsen (for Thomas Vinterberg's The Hunt) stars in French director Arnaud des Pallières' competition film Michael Kohlhaas. The film is an adaptation of the German author Heinrich Von Kleist's 1811 novella of the same name.
Set in the sixteenth-century France, on the dividing line between between Medieval logic and modern individuality, the novella foreshadowed an entire genre of modern fiction in its portrayal of a lone man taking on the whole of society. Franz Kafka stated that Michael Kohlhaas was his favourite work of German literature and that it gave him his first urge to write.
A horse dealer by the name of Michael Kohlhaas leads a happy and prosperous family life. When a lord treats him unjustly he raises an army and puts the country to fire and sword in order to have his rights restored.
"I couldn't visualize any French actor playing the role of Kohlhaas," says the director about the casting of Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, whom the director initially thought was too handsome for the role.
"I was looking for a Clint Eastwood thirty years younger. One day Sarah Teper, the casting director, mentioned Mads Mikkelsen. I discovered the Pusher trilogy and was blown away by his resourcefulness but I wasn't sure he could play Kohlhaas, the God-fearing family man. Then I saw him play an ordinary man in After the Wedding, and I was convinced."
"Kohlhaas is an ordinary person who, in the name of justice, becomes the absolute enemy of a whole society. His relentless slogan – 'I want my horses back the way they were' – displays his utter inability to compromise," says the director, and Mads Mikkelsen adds:
"Kohlhaas asks the world for the simplest thing – justice and equal rights for everyone – and triggers havoc all around him. Kohlhaas is a man whose ideals are bigger than himself."
In addition to Mikkelsen the cast includes Bruno Ganz and Denis Lavant.
Directed by Arnaud de Pallières and written by Arnaud de Pallières and Christelle Berthevas, Michael Kohlhaas is a French-German production between Les Films d'Ici, Looks Filmproduktionen, arte France Cinéma and Rhône-Alpes Cinéma.
Quotes are from the film's offical press material.

Mads Mikkelsen also stars in Kristian Levring's upcoming western The Salvation alongside Eva Green and Eric Cantona. Read more about the film

5FDP TO TOUR EUROPE WITH JUDAS PRIEST
5FDP CONFIRMED AS SPECIAL GUEST ON JUDAS PRIEST'S
"REDEEMER OF SOULS 2015" EUROPEAN TOUR
NEW SINGLE "WRONG SIDE OF HEAVEN" OUT NOW
After a nearly sold-out headline tour in Europe this past Spring, global rock heavyweights FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will make their return to the continent as Special Guests on the European leg of Judas Priest's "Redeemer of Souls 2015" Tour next June. The run kicks off in Helsinki, Finland on June 4 and takes the band all across Europe, winding up in Lodz, Poland on June 27, 2015. Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 7 via ttp://www.fivefingerdeathpunch.com/tour/.
Please see below for a list of dates.
"All of us grew up big Judas Priest fans so it was amazing to work with Rob on "Lift Me Up". Not only is he a true rock icon but one of the greatest guys you'll ever meet. To come back to Europe with Judas Priest next year is taking it over the top and a dream come true. We've had a fantastic year in Europe and can't wait to get back again next summer", notes guitarist and 5fdp founding member Zoltan Bathory.
ROB HALFORD of JUDAS PRIEST is featured on FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's #1 radio hit single "Lift Me Up" from the first installment of their current double album, THE WRONG SIDE OF HEAVEN AND THE RIGHTEOUS SIDE OF HELL, VOLUME 1 & 2. Halford previously performed the song live with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH at the 2014 Revolver Golden God Awards in Los Angeles and again during the band's tour stop in his hometown of Birmingham, England earlier this year.
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH just wrapped up the biggest rock tour of the fall co-headlining arenas across North America with VOLBEAT. With their new single and video for WRONG SIDE OF HEAVEN the band, who has enjoyed tremendous support from their military fans over the years, is giving back to veterans and those suffering from PTSD. The critically acclaimed video clip to the song (which is currently the #2 rock song in the US) has surpassed 7.5 million views to date and can be watched here: http://bit.ly/1nwyu5C
Written by the band and directed by Nick Peterson the video to WRONG SIDE OF HEAVEN is intended to increase knowledge about the plight of veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its larger repercussions.
5FDP have partnered with a multitude of help organizations, contact info for which runs at the end of the clip and is also available at www.5fdp4Vets.com. The band created the webpage to provide a destination with more info for those affected by PTSD & the issues they're facing.
To support the cause further, Five Finger Death Punch ran an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for a limited edition "No One Gets Left Behind" jersey, designed by guitarist Zoltan Bathory. The original goal to raise $50,000 was quickly surpassed and the campaign ended up raising over $225,000 with profits benefitting partner organizations in support of their efforts to help veterans suffering from PTSD.
Undoubtedly one of the most relevant and successful rock bands globally, 5FDP dominated 2013 and 2014 with the releases THE WRONG SIDE OF HEAVEN AND THE RIGHTEOUS SIDE OF HELL, VOLUME 1 and VOLUME 2. Both volumes debuted on the U.S. Billboard album chart at #2 (more notably, within a four-month period) and in the top ten mainstream charts all around the world.
The two albums feature two #1 radio hit singles ("Lift Me Up" featuring Rob Halford of Judas Priest and "Battle Born") and have combined sales of over 700,000 units to date. The multi-million selling rock titans' have had 14 consecutive Top 10 hits at Rock radio since the inception of the band in 2007.
USA TODAY proclaimed "VOLUME 2 elevates the group to the top of its game. Offering more than blind rage, though there's certainly plenty, the songs live in the tension implied by the album's title—aware of the implications of lashing out, ready to accept the consequences" (11/19/13).
Following Australia's Soundwave Festival and shows across Japan and South East Asia, the band headlined a nearly sold out European tour earlier this year and just concluded the biggest rock tour of the fall co-headlining arenas across North America with VOLBEAT, special guest HELLYEAH and NOTHING MORE.
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH is Ivan Moody (vocals), Zoltan Bathory (guitar), Jeremy Spencer (drums), Jason Hook (guitar) and Chris Kael (bass).

In just a few months, visitors to the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center (GEHC) will be able to tour one of the oldest surviving homes in Gwinnett — the Chesser-Williams House. The home is historically significant not only for its age, but also because it is decorated inside and out with rare folk art paintings.
"One of the things that makes this house so valuable is the art," said GEHC Director Steve Cannon. Read more.
Next to the Auburn Library and behind City Hall stands a quaint building which once served as headquarters for the engineers who worked on the railroad that passes through downtown Auburn. Historic in its own right for the role it once played in the former railroad town, the building now houses decades' worth of memorabilia and artifacts which tell the story of a small town's growth from a rural farming area to a thriving metro Atlanta bedroom community.
"We have watched our population grow since the 1980s from about 600 people to a population of roughly 7,500," explained Tracie Pollard, curator of the Auburn Museum and part of the city's economic development and planning department. "We know a lot of people here don't know the history because they are new to the area." Read more.
Major General Jim Butterworth, the keynote speaker at Gwinnett County's Veterans Day ceremony, reminded the scores of people in attendance for Tuesday's event why the annual observance is so important. Many have made sacrifices, he said, so that we can live in freedom.
Our calling, Butterworth said, is to continue carrying the torch of freedom. Read more.
Earl Shay admits she was not happy with the outcome of the 2012 presidential election. So unhappy, in fact, she decided to share her displeasure on Facebook. A like-minded individual saw her posts and invited her to join what she describes as the largest protest group in America.
Now, nearly two years later, Shay is the Georgia head of Overpasses for America — a non-partisan group dedicated to defending the Constitution.
"If we the people don't stand up for our Constitutional rights, we're not going to have them," Shay said. Read more.
Twice a month, a group of seniors goes "bowling" at the Hamilton Mill branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library. Being Older and Wiser at the Library — B.O.W.L. for short — is an educational and social program described as the brainchild of one of the library associates. Read more.
In the late 1800s, there were not a lot of options for lodging in downtown Buford. In fact, when the Merchant Hotel opened in 1892, the only other building nearby was the train depot.
According to current building owner Margaret Morgan, visitors to the town could step off the train, walk across the street and check in to what was, at the time, the nicest — and only — hotel between Atlanta and Gainesville. Read more.
Orion Cross was not in a very talkative mood. His attention was entirely focused on watching members of the Gwinnett County Police Department motorcycle unit navigate an obstacle course at Saturday's Public Safety Festival at Coolray Field. The bikes — with their flashing lights and revving engines — seemed to completely captivate the 2-year-old Lawrenceville resident.
"It's all about the blue lights," said Eric Cross, Orion's dad. Read more on GwinnettDailyPost.com.
The heavily overcast sky and misting rain did little to dampen Paul Pressley's spirits at the Duluth Fall Festival on Saturday. The Lilburn man, who has attended the festival several times previously, had a special reason for wanting to be out in the less-than-perfect weather — his grandchildren.

Ten years ago, Bill York embarked on a mission — a mission initiated by the misfortune of a friend.
The friend, an elderly acquaintance York described as a "smart woman," was scammed out of $10,000. The humiliation and embarrassment of having fallen for the con, York said, is believed to have contributed to her death not long thereafter. Read more on GwinnettDailyPost.com.
Since 1996, a group of engineers and technicians have been working behind the scenes to keep traffic flowing smoothly in Gwinnett County.

[Updated] Advotics raises US$2.75M led by East Ventures to expand its supply chain solutions for Indonesian SMEs
Advotics, an Indonesia-based SaaS startup specialising in supply chain solutions, announced today it has bagged US$2.75 million in a new funding round led by East Ventures.
The company said it will utilise the fresh funds to extend its commercial footprint in the SME market by expanding its sales team.
Founded in 2016 by Boris Sanjaya, Hendi Chandi, and Jeffry Tani, Advotics provides end-to-end integrated supply chain solutions to a variety of clients ranging from SMEs to international companies. The company noted its clientele base includes Exxonmobil, Sampoerna, and Danone, among others.
Advotics currently has nine SaaS products that provide solutions across production, warehousing, and distribution. Utilising QR codes printed on the product packaging, Advotics helps brands to track inventory at every point along the distribution line, including information on sales forces activities and empty stock.
The company also expanded its system by including solutions for inventory, routing, and collection.

"There are millions of manufacturing and distribution companies operating in Indonesia. We believe that the US$3 billion enterprise software market in Indonesia will keep growing as more and more of these companies join the digital transformation," said Boris Sanjaya, CEO and Co-Founder of Advotics.
"We are able to help principals and brands track inventory every step of the way up to the end of their supply chain, be it modern retailers, micro merchants (warung), or individual resellers. Advotics is also able to solve deep-rooted supply chain problems that most companies face in their warehouse operations, delivery routing efficiency, and sales team dispatch with advanced technology," opined Jeffry Tani, CPO and Co-Founder of Advotics.
"Advotics team has not only persevered during the pandemic but has emerged stronger. We are confident that the funding will accelerate Advotics to achieve its mission to digitise Indonesia's distribution and supply chain ecosystem," said Willson Cuaca, Co-founder and Managing Partner of East Ventures.
Advotics recently released a whitepaper titled 'Key Distribution Challenges in Indonesia', which shared insights regarding how technology can help companies overcome pre-existing challenges in Indonesia's supply chain. The report stated that Indonesia's complex and multilayered supply chain is critical in ensuring economies of scale & efficiency in a diverse market with more than 270 million in population.
Despite initial challenges, supply chain and logistics are some of the sectors that are experiencing a surge of popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic as the lockdown measures implemented in many countries pushed demand for e-commerce services. In a report, Nikkei Asia detailed that the sector was among the top three that has gained significant funding in 2020.

"When a big box arrives one morning, Bridget Fidget leaps out of bed and spins down the stairs. She knows what's inside - a unicorn! After all, she's always wanted a pet unicorn, so it must be a pet unicorn. But inside the box is just another . . . smaller . . . box. And it's buzzing. This is no unicorn. But could it possibly be something even better?"
This was a cute little book I found at the library. I love the drawings. And Bridget's a curious little girl. Perhaps toddlerish-she's got some good emotions in there! And ends up happy with what she's got. A great story for girls!I mean, seriously, she wants a unicorn. How fun is that?


TIP! When you contort your face, you use muscles and increase the appearance of wrinkles. Although the effects would seem negligible, it can actually help a lot.
Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking Resveratrol. Clinical studies being done on resveratrol and the positive effects it has on growing older are showing great results. Resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and nuts, mimics those benefits. Resveratrol is found naturally Japanese knotweed roots. Additionally, it can be extracted from Senna quiquangulata roots.
Do not dwell on your nonessential numbers in life. Let your doctor worry about numbers. The moment you start focusing on these three things is the moment that you will start obsessing over them and missing out on the fun parts of life that are aimed at keeping you feeling young.
TIP! As you age, your home is a reflection of who you are and becomes your personal sanctuary. Customize your living space so you have a haven to return to when your day has been tough.
In order to age well, it is vital to follow a balanced diet. Your diet should be filled with whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables, and a minimal amount of cholesterol, trans fats and saturated fats. A diet like this will provide the fuel your body needs to deal with the growing older process.
TIP! Taking care of your precious eyesight is important as you age. You will likely suffer from a decline in vision as you age.
Increase the amount of time you spend working out. As your body gets older, it needs to stay active more to remain strong and flexible. Go for quick walks for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Include strength training in your exercise routine at least twice a week. Keeping your body fit and strong will help minimize the negative impacts of getting older.
TIP! You will need to maintain proper hormone balance, especially when you age. Hormonal imbalances are the root cause of many serious conditions from depression to insomnia to obesity.
With age, a lot of people are simply not able to live on their own anymore. There is a point in which we cannot properly take care of ourselves. When it gets to this point, you should consider looking into a nursing home. Each of these options offers some help with daily living without completely robbing people of their autonomy. There are professionals who work at the facility who are licensed and able to give you any assistance that you may need.
TIP! How much sugar we consume can contribute to a shorter lifespan. Sugar is responsible for decreasing your lifespan.

High-profile donors say Brown personally directed money to bogus charity, assured them of its charitable work
Many held to honor former congresswoman; just $10,000 to charity, agent says
Christopher Hong
UPDATE: 5:30 p.m.: More donors provided testimony supporting prosecutors' argument that Corrine Brown personally directed money to One Door for Education and assured them the money was to be used for charitable purposes.
Susie Wiles, a veteran Jacksonville political consultant who ran Donald Trump's Florida campaign, testified about a fundraising effort she helped coordinate in 2015 to help Brown legally challenge her redrawn congressional district.
Wiles said Brown approached her at a public hearing in Orlando they were both attending related to Florida East Coast Industries receiving tax-exempt bonds to build a passenger rail line from Miami to Orlando. Wiles was a hired consultant for the company, and Brown was speaking in favor of the project.
Wiles said Brown told her that challenging the new district in court would be an "expensive endeavor" and suggested that Steve Halverson, president and CEO of Haskell, could host a small event to raise the money.
Wiles said she agreed to reach out to Halverson. When she spoke with Halverson, he said he wanted to raise the money privately rather than hold an event.
As Halverson and Wiles worked to bundle money for Brown, she said Brown at one point questioned why she was seeking it from people who had donated to her in the past.
"She had hoped I would be soliciting from my Republican friends, not some of her previous donors," she said.
Wiles said Halverson eventually collected the money, although she didn't say how much was raised. Wiles said other donors included Patrick Geraghty, CEO of Florida Blue, and Michael Ward, the former CEO of CSX who testified earlier Thursday.
Wiles said she was responsible for sending some of the checks to Brown but didn't know who to make them out to,. Von Alexander, a local communications consultant and staffer for Brown's office, eventually told Wiles to make the checks out to One Door for Education.
She said that was the first time she'd ever heard of One Door for Education. When asked if she would have agreed to raise the money if she knew it would go toward Brown's personal use, she said no.
She also said Brown never followed up with her or expressed concern that the money was never put in her legal expense trust fund.
Jurors also heard testimony from three other One Door donors: Husein Cumber, a Jacksonville executive with Florida East Coast Industries; Robert Picerne, an Orlando real estate developer; and Gasper Lazzara, a Ponte Vedra orthodontist and philanthropist.
Each of them said they made donations after Brown told them about the group's charitable work. They also said they wouldn't have donated the money if they knew it would end up in the personal coffers of Brown.
Picerne, who gave $90,000 to the group, said he mostly communicated with Brown and considered her a close friend.
Cumber said he agreed to have his company's charitable giving program donate to One Door after Brown requested the donation. He said he approved the donation after receiving information confirming it was a tax-exempt charity.
"She said she'd be very appreciative if we made that donation," Cumber said. "She was someone who had been very supportive of transportation projects, so it was something that made sense for us."
Lazzara said he was personal friend of Brown's and that she told him about One Door and its mission.
Although Lazzara donated money to One Door, it didn't come from his family's charitable foundation.
Instead, Lazzara donated from his personal businesses after his daughter discovered One Door wasn't a registered tax-exempt charity.
Lazzara's daughter, who approved payments from the family's foundation, raised that concern with Simmons in a June 2013 email.
Brown had told Lazzara that she needed $5,000 to reimburse her for computers she bought for local schools. However, Lazzara's daughter noticed a red flag when she was told to send a check to the Community Rehabilitation Center Foundation, a nonprofit operated by City Councilman Reginald Gaffney, who was a long-time friend of Brown.
"He was under the impression he'd make the check out to the Duval County School Board and doesn't understand how the Community Rehabilitation Center Foundation is related. He simply wants to ensure he fulfills the promises he made," she wrote in an email presented as evidence by prosecutors.
Gaffney hasn't been charged with a crime, but he is expected to testify as a government witness.
UPDATE: 4 p.m. Prosecutors shifted their focus to donors of the One Door for Education, bringing forward several high-profile witnesses who said they believed their donations would pay for scholarships and other educational activities.
They first questioned Tandi Bondi, a former lobbyist with the Washington, D.C. firm Alcalde and Fay. That firm also employs Brown's daughter, Shantrel.
Bondi said Ronnie Simmons, Brown's chief of staff, sent an email to her and Hector Alcalde, a founder of the lobbying firm, requesting a donation to One Door. The email included a letter fromthe Internal Revenue Service noting it had been assigned tax-exempt charitable status.
Bondi said she did some research on the group but couldn't find anything. "Ronnie, could you please send me info on this group?" she wrote in an email presented as evidence by prosecutors."I Googled them without any luck."
Simmons responded by sending a letter detailing the history of the charity. In that letter, it said the group funded scholarships for students in Loudon County, Va., who wanted to pursueteaching.
Bondi said she told Alcalde the group was eligible to receive money from the firm's political action committee. She said Alcalde decided to donate $25,000 — with the understanding that it wouldpay for scholarships.
When asked if anyone ever told her the money would be deposited into the personal account of Brown, she replied: "Absolutely not."
Brown's attorney, James Smith, asked if Simmons told her whether the money would be used to help pay for an event in Charlotte, N.C.
Bondi said her understanding was the event would highlight the work of One Door, but that the money was to solely pay for scholarships.
Prosecutors then called Michael Ward, the former CEO of CSX.
Ward said Brown was one of several key members of Congress he developed a relationship with while working for the railroad company. He said he had "more of a business relationship" withBrown than a personal one.
Ward said he first heard of One Door in January 2013. He said his office received a letter asking for donations for sending people to Obama's inauguration. After he received the letter, he saidBrown told him about a different cause during a personal conversation in his office.
Instead, Brown told him the money would pay for iPads for students who had good attendance or earned good grades. He said he thought that was an appropriate cause and cut a $10,000check.
Ward would make another $10,000 donation in July in relation to a golf tournament fundraiser, as well as a $10,000 donation in July 2015 after receiving a letter from Brown's office seekingmoney for a student trip to China.
"If anyone told you your donations would be for the personal use of Brown, would you have made them?" asked lead prosecutor A. Tysen Duva.
"Absolutely not," Ward replied.
Prosecutors presented a third check from Ward made out to One Door for Education.
Ward said he wrote the $5,000 for the purpose of fundraising for Brown's reelection. He said he wrote the check — but left the recipient space blank — with the understanding it would gotoward one of several political committees that could help Brown's campaign.
Ward said he then sent the check to Steve Halverson, president and CEO of Haskell who was trying to raise $25,000 for Brown's re-election.
UPDATE: 3:10 p.m. Corrine Brown's attorney during his cross examination of an FBI agent testifying for the government continued to raise the possibility that other groups could haveawarded scholarships as an result of events that were paid for by One Door.
The agent, Vanessa Stelly, said she didn't know if that happened.
James Smith, Brown's attorney, raised the possibility that the groups that attended One Door events could have awarded scholarships, and he also suggested that the events presentednetworking and professional opportunities to other groups.
Smith also questioned Stelly about the government's evidence showing cash transfers from One Door's bank account into Brown's personal bank account. When asked how much moneyBrown personally transferred, Stelly said the former congresswoman transferred $3,000 over a three-year period.
UPDATE: 12:55 p.m. Prosecutors contrasted the $330,000 spent by the One Door for Education on parties and events — many held in Brown's honor — with a much lesser figure: theroughly $10,000 the group spent on scholarships and charitable activities.
That spending included two scholarships worth $1,200. The remaining money went toward charitable contributions to various groups.
Prosecutors continued to present testimony from FBI agent Vanessa Stelly, who investigated Brown and One Door. She provided information about One Door's charitable giving, as well asother expenditures the group made that prosecutors said were not charitable in nature.
Jurors saw a letter prosecutors said Brown wrote to John Baker, a Jacksonville businessman and political donor to Brown. In the letter, she asked Baker to help pay for an upcoming trip toChina for 22 students. Brown said the children would learn about China's culture and history and that she was responsible for covering the trip's entire cost.
"As you can imagine, the costs associated with such an undertaking are enormous," Brown wrote on the letter, which contained the seal of her congressional office.
She requested donations to be made to One Door.
One Door received $8,000 in donations for the trip but only spent $5,500, according to prosecutors' evidence. Prosecutors also showed that $2,300 was transferred from One Door's bankaccount to Brown's personal bank account during an 8-day period before and during the trip.
Jurors also saw other expenditures made by One Door that prosecutors said were not related to scholarships or charitable activities, including:
• $7,700 in airfare. The majority of the trips were for Brown. The trips also included trips her daughter, Shantrel Brown, took to the Virgin Islands.
• Roughly $800 of in-kind donations to the Washington, D.C., City Council campaign of Michael Brown.
• $5,000 for a commemorative issue of Onyx Magazine in honor of Brown. The magazine is based in Orlando and is aimed at African-American readers.
Prosecutors concluded their examination of Stelly by showing that Brown didn't report any of the cash she received from One Door on her congressional financial disclosure forms, despitemaking other amendments.
Members of Congress are required to disclose any income beyond their salaries. The questions appeared to be related to a criminal charge Brown faces for not disclosing earned income onthose forms.
Brown's attorney, James Smith, began cross-examining Stelly before the court recessed for lunch.
In his questioning, Smith raised the possibility of whether One Door's expenses and events may have indirectly resulted in scholarships or other educational opportunities that the FBI orprosecutors didn't know about.
His cross-examination will begin when the trial resumes around 1:40 p.m.
UPDATE: 11:15 a.m.
Jurors heard more testimony Thursday morning from an FBI agent who investigated former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown and saw reams of records detailing the lavish events paid for by One Doorfor Education, the sham charity at the center of the trial.
Prosecutors showed bank records and event flyers for nine events between 2012 and 2015 that were paid for by One Door. The total cost was $330,000.
The agent, Vanessa Stelly, said she found no evidence that One Door awarded any scholarships as a result of the events.
Prosecutors said they only found two examples of the group awarding scholarships: a $200 check to Richard Danford, the longtime leader of the Jacksonville Urban League and husband of CityCouncilwoman Joyce Morgan, and a $1,000 to Richard Calhoun, who wasn't identified. They didn't elaborate about how that money was spent.
Jurors saw flyers for the events that were paid for by One Door. Many of the events were held in Brown's honor, and some were advertised to be fundraisers for the purported charity. Theevents included receptions in downtown Washington, D.C., a high-powered golf tournament in Ponte Vedra and luxury-suite parties at a Beyonce concert and a Jaguars-Redskins game inWashington, D.C.
Jurors also saw letters written by Brown to would-be donors soliciting money for the events. In those letters, Brown said the events would raise money for One Door for Education to providescholarships and other educational benefits. Some letters were written on her Congressional Office's letterhead and ended with her signature.
Prosecutors also presented emails written by Brown's daughter, Shantrel Brown, stating Brown's approval of planning of the events, like bands and high-priced menus.
Prosecutors attempts to closely connect Brown to the events could be crucial to their success. Brown's attorneys say that she knew little about the workings and expenditures of One Door andthat her former chief of staff, Ronnie Simmons, was the mastermind of the fraudulent scheme.
Simmons pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy and has agreed to testify against Brown.
Prosecutors spent hours presenting details of the events, showing jurors itemized receipts of menus and other expenses.
At a 2013 Beyonce concert, One Door paid $10,000 to rent a suite at the downtown Washington, D.C., venue. Guests were treated to smoked barbeque, chilled shrimp and a bar stocked withbeer, wine and vodka. The food and beverage tab topped $3,500.
At a September 2014 cocktail reception held in Brown's honor, guests were served a birthday cake for Shantrel Brown that cost $750. For $10, they could enjoy a "Queen Corrine," astrawberry bellini cocktail with a sugar rim.
One Door paid $33,000 to host the event.
At that reception, as well as others, guests received tickets that included a request for donations to One Door, described as a "worth cause" that provided scholarships to "underprivilegedstudents."
Brown didn't sign any of the checks paying for the events that were presented as evidence.
Jurors were given a break around 10:45 a.m. When the trial resumes, prosecutors will continue presenting testimony from Stelly.
Brown's attorney James Smith will then cross-examine her.
Reporters are restricted to providing updates during breaks in the trial. Check back for updates.


Sitting here in my room alone and thinking with my thoughts running all over the place it hits me how short life is and how we take it for granted most days. I was at work earlier when CNN decided to alert my phone to tell me about the death of Kristof St John who plays "Neil Winters" on the young and restless. I'm in utter shock only because it hits me that life is so damn short also being that he spoke so openly about his sons suicide in 2014 and spoke on his on issues with mental health causing him to take a break from the show for a while, I'm not exactly sure where his mind set was or even if he had a mental illness either way it eats me up inside to know someone who I've been watching since a child is now gone.
Mental illness somehow always gets swept under the rug and always goes un noticed on some people's parts, all I can think about is how I've been lately and how my mental illness has taken control. I don't even recognize the person I've been lately and I hate it to be honest, everyone around me continues to tell me it's the medicine but wait no maybe it's me, maybe my anxiety and depression is flaring back up. I'm on edge, I'm angry, I'm sad, and emotional and restless and I can't remember the last time I actually slept well. My doctor is always telling me the same thing over and over "you can get better, take your medicine every day, I'll see you in a month" the same old crap don't get me wrong I've grown to like my doctor a lot but at the same time when will this all end for me, when will I be medicine free, when will this stop taking control of me.
I'm tired of wearing a fake smile, I'm tired of pretending to be ok all the time, my boyfriend says "babe, somethings off about you" I know it's true so I can't deny it but at the same time what can I do 🤷♀ I'm trying so hard to fight this, I'm trying so hard to understand it all. I need to go back to see my therapist, but hell would she even accept me, in my eyes I can't be helped and I'm needing some guidance. I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel, I can see it but haven't found my way out yet. I won't give up on myself, I won't let this take me down. I'm going to find my smile again and I'm going to be that happy girl again.
Please to anyone out there feeling like there's no way out, get help please and know that you are loved. tel:1-800-273-8255 call this number for help. You are not alone and you are loved, please be safe.

Investment funds in commercial property should suspend trading when valuations become uncertain, Britain's Financial Conduct Authority proposed on Monday in draft rules to apply lessons from a market run after the Brexit vote.
The FCA proposed a package of rules and guidance for funds that hold illiquid assets including commercial property that are hard to sell in stressed market conditions when investors often ask for their money back.
After the result of the UK referendum on EU membership in June 2016 several property funds were temporarily suspended.
The FCA said the suspensions generally worked as intended and that no major overhaul such as introducing mandatory liquidity buffers was needed, but that improvements could be made.
The proposals include managers of funds in illiquid assets drawing up contingency plans in case volatile markets start triggering investor cash calls.
The funds should be suspended when an independent valuer expresses uncertainty about the value of illiquid assets, and investors should also be given more information about liquidity risks in these types of funds, the FCA proposed.
The FCA agreed with industry concerns that forcing funds to hold a liquidity buffer could tempt well-informed investors to redeem their holdings early at the first sign of market turbulence, before the fund's manager is likely to consider suspension.
A public consultation on the proposals is open until the end of January and the FCA will then publish final rules and guidance.

The Stellwagen Bank is an underwater marine plateau off the Atlantic coast of Massachusetts, USA. A rich ecosystem is supported by deep-water currents that push nutrient-rich waters up the sides of the plateau. Humpback whales, many of which winter and calve in the Caribbean, migrate to this hot-spot during the spring and summer months to feed on abundant schools of small fish.

Just right after all the horrible thigns that happened lately, I realized that I still had my Bizu French Macaroons sitting prettily on my fringe. From all the troubles I've been having lately, it was such a great treat to enjoy iy and to make my problems temporarily go away.
Each flavor is the sweetest perfection. Every bite is as soft as cotton. Each round pastry a delight to the tastebuds.
Bizu macaroons are carefully handmade. They have one particular person who does nothing but make these beautiful pastel rainbow treats from scratch.
You can have your very own rainbow of Bizu Macaroons, simply visit them at Greenhills Promenade, Glorietta 4, or Alabang Town Center.
P.S. One shouldn't do food posts before going to bed as it makes the writer hungry. Lol!

The Japan Foundation Asia Center and the Vargas Museum are pleased to announce Almost There, an exhibition at the University of the Philippines' Jorge B. Vargas Museumand Filipiniana Research Center, co-curated by Patrick D. Flores (Vargas Museum) and Kyongfa Che (Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo). This group exhibition is presented as part of the Japan Foundation Asia Center's Condition Report, a collaborative art project with emerging young curators from Japan and Southeast Asia.
Almost There began with a proposition, a fairly open one, but sufficiently pointed so that it could facet an angle from which to consider certain urgent concerns that the current world is facing as well as the complex history that had shaped it. The other impulse was to create opportunities for curatorial knowledge to be marked and conveyed across the generations. This aspect was sensitive to the process by which curation was demonstrated as a practice and in which emerging curators in the Philippines and Southeast Asia participated in carrying out the curatorial task along with peers who have had more exposure and experience in the field.
The exhibition attempts to create resonance among a wide range of research, as well as of expressions of contemporary art from diverse parts of the world, including Africa and Latin America, areas with which the Philippine public has very scant acquaintance. In doing so, it attempts to open up a new scope of imagination and reflection to animate existing modes of knowledge, histories and subjectivities. That is, to find the potentiality of the political in this ever-shifting ambiguity.
Almost There responds to and tries to explore a phrase from a particular study of spiritual life and spectacle in a Philippine province. Fenella Cannell proposes the notion of "intimacy and power" to define the process of shaping affinity and sympathy with others. Such a process always involves the effort to imitate but not to repeat, to belong but not to assimilate, and to share the experience with mutual investments. At the same time, it is driven by interest, by the desire to be recognized, the aspiration to be visible. The exhibition explores this tension between distance and kinship. Thus, the title speaks of a gap, an "intense proximity" that does not quite touch the address, the place to be, or the destination as yet.
Included in the exhibition are works/projects by selected artists in various media including painting, sculpture, film/video, installation and performance, as well as small-scale curatorial projects by three Southeast Asian curators (Ayos Purwoaji Surip Mawardi, Lisa Ito-Tapang, and Lyno Vuth) that respond to a specific work by a participating artist or to a context drawn from the concept of the exhibition. Several works/projects include the element of direct, in-depth interaction with the public that spills out of the gallery space; a number of activities will be held in the form of walks, performances, lectures, and discussions throughout the exhibition period, many of which will take place at the architectural platform built by Nousaku Fuminori with Rosario Encarnacion-Tan at the Vargas Lawn.

MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Second-ranked Gonzaga hasn't had many ugly wins this season, but Saturday night's game against Pepperdine was something it needed with the NCAA Tournament less than a month away.
The Bulldogs had some early foul trouble and were out of sync until getting into a rhythm in the second half and pulling away for an 89-77 victory that extended their winning streak to 18 games.
"It's one of the better wins we've had this year with what we dealt with and powered through it. It wasn't going perfect for long stretches but we found a way. That's how you have to win in March," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said.
The Bulldogs were missing Killian Tillie, who is second on the team in scoring, due to an ankle injury and then had two starters pick up two fouls apiece in the first half. However, Filip Petrusev was able to come through when needed.
The sophomore forward had 27 points and 12 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season. Petrusev scored 20 points in the first half as Gonzaga kept feeding the ball to him down low in the paint.
"I knew I was going to have to play more but it was tough to execute all those coverages. I knew they were going to foul me but also I have to hit open layups when I get an angle," said Petrusev, who is averaging 24 points and 9.8 rebounds in the past five games.
The Bulldogs (26-1, 11-0 West Coast Conference) had only seven players see action, with all but one scoring in double figures. Corey Kispert had 19 points, including five 3-pointers.
The game was tied at 43 before Gonzaga took control with a 13-2 run. Kispert's 3-pointer with 15:33 remaining gave the Bulldogs a 46-43 advantage, and Joel Ayayi had five points during the spurt.
Gonzaga's largest lead was 14 late in the second half. The Bulldogs have won 39 straight regular-season WCC games, currently the longest streak of its kind in the nation.
"We were flustered, had a lot of adversity and a hot guard (Pepperdine's Colbey Ross) going at us before we were able to get going. It was good for us to face that and solve those things," Few said.
Ross scored 23 points and Kameron Edwards had 22 for Pepperdine (14-13, 7-6). Ross, a junior point guard, has four straight games of at least 23 points.
Petrusev scored the last seven points during a run of nine straight by Gonzaga to give the Bulldogs a 28-20 lead with 7:30 left in the first half.
Gonzaga extended its lead to nine before the Waves responded with a 13-3 rally. Edwards had seven points during the spurt, including a 3 with 1:32 remaining to put them up 36-35. Gonzaga closed the half with five consecutive points to lead 40-36 at halftime.
"We made too many mistakes and they capitalized on most of them," Pepperdine coach Lorenzo Romar said. "We were able to hold the fort in the first half. Our team has been pretty resilient all year and there were too many times we had to fight back tonight."
Gonzaga: The Bulldogs have won 39 straight against Pepperdine and are 43-2 during Few's tenure. The last time the Waves beat the Bulldogs was in 2002.
Pepperdine: The Waves were fifth in the conference in 3-point percentage coming into the game but missed 15 of 20 from beyond the arc. The 25% mark was their fifth-worst this season.
Gonzaga: Hosts San Francisco on Thursday.
Pepperdine: Plays at Portland on Thursday.

Is There A 'Right Time' To Apply To Law School?
It's a valid question, especially with law school applications falling at an alarming rate over the past five years. Is there an ideal time to apply to law school? With enrollment numbers dropping, there has to be a time when schools will throw money at people to get butts in seats, right? The job market has to rebound back to those white-collar glory days of 2005? When it does, students will go back to applying to law schools based on salary potential of the current market, right?
Not really. That was opinion expressed in a recent paper published in the Washington Post by Michael Simkovic, a Seton Hall School of Law professor, and Frank McIntire, an assistant professor at Rutgers Business School. "Middle and high ability law students who are lucky enough to graduate into a booming economy see a large boost to their earnings for approximately the first four years after graduation, but the effect quickly fades. There is a roughly 10 percent swing up or down in the present value of lifetime earnings for graduating into a boom or recession," they write.
And then there's the obvious—how can you predict an economy three or four years down the road when incoming students will be searching for jobs? In short, if law school is a desired path, the authors suggest it's best to just go ahead and do it instead of waiting for an uptick in the economy. The main reason? For every year that prospective students go without the average salary boost a law degree gives, they enjoy one year less of increasing their lifetime earnings.
"…Each year of delay will cost on average around $31,000. The optimal strategy to get the most out of law school financially is to go to law school as soon as possible after deciding that you eventually want to go to law school," the authors write.
Some legal critics claim structural changes, technology, automation, and outsourcing will make the legal industry less desirable and profitable for recent law school graduates. The authors, however, argue that this hasn't been the case.
"Law graduates have maintained their relative advantage. If automation, outsourcing, and structural change are affecting law graduates negatively, the impact of these forces on those with less education has been just as great," they write.
Of course, the authors' research and opinion comes with a caveat. After all, they are both products of higher education. What's more, the research compares salary benefits of those with bachelor's degrees only to those with law degrees. It doesn't take into account the amount of debt many law students will incur. As a result, the average $31,000 extra that lawyers may make might not be as helpful with mountains of debt. Many top-ranked schools along with lower-ranked schools will produce graduates with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt.

Steam charts: Fortnite and PUBG carry the fight to CSGO and Dota
31 January 2019, 15:05 by Tim Masters
At this point in esports history, the 'daed game' meme has outlasted a number of games, showing that it does have a decent place in the landscape, but sometimes it's thrown around as bait, rather than fact. Fans of rivals to CSGO and Dota love to poke at the player numbers of those titles, or those occasions where viewing figures seem underwhelming, and use that as proof the game itself is dying, but it seems as though Valve's twin babies are just as healthy and happy as they've ever been.
According to Steamcharts.com, a site that provides a snapshot into what Valve users are currently playing, Dota 2 currently has well over 800,000 concurrent users, putting it at the top of the charts at times this month, ahead of PUBG at certain points. It sits second only to said battle royale in peak players, too, with 874,888, compared to the 1,084,606 achieved by PUBG.
The Steam charts show there has been an increase in players due to the popularity of Dota Auto Chess, another custom made game that fans and streamers alike have embraced, but that is only built on the phenomenal player base the game already enjoys. With the Chongqing Major recently complete, the esports scene is also thriving as usual, and anticipation for TI9 is growing rapidly.
Stats entertainment
Likewise, CSGO has seen a huge upswing in player numbers over the past 60 days, with massive increases seen across November, according to the Steam charts. Some of the success has to do with the introduction of Danger Zone, the new battle royale mode, and some has to do with the fact it is now free to play, but it's hard to criticise those decisions when all they do is give the game the same cost and status as titles like Fortnite, which have been free since day one.
Fighting Fortnite
In terms of monthly uniques alone, Newzoo rated League of Legends as the most popular PC game worldwide, ahead of Fortnite and CSGO, but that was in the second quarter of 2018. Epic Games, which, of course, has its own launcher, and whose games do not appear on Steamcharts, claims to have roughly 40 million players who log in on a monthly basis to play Fortnite, which, if accurate, would put it right in competition with LoL, if not ahead of the game.
With ESL and other mainstream esports giants getting into Fortnite in 2019, it will be interesting to see what impact the further expansion into the competitive scene has on the casual player base. It may even be that Epic will make a decision about supporting the esports side using that data, as there is no reason Fortnite has to be an esport, just because League or Dota currently are.
There is no doubt the cartoon shooter has had a huge impact on the gaming space, but reports of the death of the old giants have been greatly exaggerated, as the numbers show. Part of that is innovation, and part of it just down to the quality of the product itself, and it's great news for the esports ecosystem to see them challenged, and hold firm, even with their ages.

Justin finds his first paid job after leaving school
Fair Start Scotland helped Justin to realise his transferable skills, and he has since moved into his very own flat and found employment with a collections company
Why Justin joined Fair Start Scotland
Justin was 18 years old when he first joined the service and had been in residential care for the past four years. He advised us that being in care had impacted his social life, and he had never been in paid employment. Justin felt that he lacked the confidence he needed to be successful in job interviews.
How Fair Start Scotland helped
Justin was interested in applying for retail positions as he had previously volunteered for Cancer Research, which he felt helped him to develop team working skills. Justin attended an Employer Services workshop via Zoom which focused on interview skills. He received great feedback from the workshop and he was pushed out of his comfort zone, which he felt was important if he was to build his confidence. Without this type of experience, Justin felt he would not have been confident enough to succeed in a real interview.
Justin was also helped with updating his CV. It was run through the CV checker in the Fedcap Hub and scored quite low. Justin, and his personal adviser Holly, worked together to improve his CV. Once the CV was finished, Holly printed and posted him copies to hand out. After another Employer Services workshop, he was made aware of the transferable skills he had which would allow him to apply for jobs outside of the retail industry. The workshops and Zoom calls with his adviser helped to boost his confidence and allowed him to socialise with others, something which he was not used to before joining the service.
Justin has since moved out of care and into his very own flat, and he is loving his newfound independence. He also successfully secured a job within BPO collections as a debt collector, working from 9am to 2pm Monday to Friday each week.
He claimed that this was not a position he would have considered applying for before attending the transferable skills workshop. Justin loves his current position and has settled in really well.
Justin received funding for a Mega Rider pass each week to get to and from work up until he received his first wage, which he is extremely grateful for.
Justin is a lot more confident and feels positive about the future in his current position and new home.

Empress Crown - Veneer Reconstruction
Meet Shawn.... For years Shawn was pretty unhappy with the appearance of his teeth. He didn't like the color and shading, and he didn't like how they were shaped and had uneven sizing, rather than the symmetrical appearance of healthier or normal tooth structures that we are all supposed to have.
The positioning of several tooth structures was also something that Shawn wanted to change.
Dr. Sussman and Shawn reviewed several case history examples of previous patients who had received different combinations of reconstructive and restorative treatments.
To find out how cosmetic dentistry can enhance the health and beauty of your smile, please call Dr. Sussman and Dr. Pogal's Rochester office at 585-227-4390 today. Our dentists serve patients in Brighton, Fairport, and other communities in the Greece area.
As with most of our treatment plans, patients have multiple choices of similar treatments that differ in the type and quality of components used for restorations, which assures our patients affordability for an almost limitless variety of cosmetic and functional goals.
Shawn's interests kept changing as he learned more and more about what can be achieved in restorative dentistry. Originally focused on Zoom teeth whitening that could give him the pefection in brilliance he wanted, he eventually changed his expectations to include not only bright healthy teeth but to have teeth that were sized appropriately and gave the appearance of matching his face, smile and jaw structure. Shawn had always felt his smile was too narrow for his face.
Shawn also wanted to get rid of some aging amalgam fillings that were beginning to take their toll on his back teeth.
Articulation Studies - Diagnostic Wax Up Modeling
Articulation studies with used with the impressions that were taken, along with diagnostic wax up models. Shawn ultimately chose to have a variety of custom fabricated ceramic components consisting of crowns and porcelain veneer laminates that would enable him and Dr. Sussman to literally construct a new smile.
Temporary crowns and veneers were used as part of the study, to assure Dr. Sussman that all of the important functional changes would be accurate for maintaining normal occlusal relationships. The wax up modeling process gave Shawn the assurance that he would achieve the precise cosmetic goal he was looking for.
Adjustments were made as needed... both for Dr. Sussman and for Shawn (functional and aesthetic) to assure that there would be no surprises (errors) in the final and permanent restorations.
Shawn had all of the ceramic materials made from the Empress family of high grade porcelain crowns and veneer laminates. Empress products have the physical characteristics needed for creating restorations that can nearly duplicate what Mother Nature normally provides... natural looking, natural feeling crowns and veneers that feel like your own teeth.
The veneers were hand crafted, one by one, to provide a perfect match in coloration, shading and sizing to Shawn's original teeth and to the new crowns that were used.
In the adjacent post treatment photo it can be seen that Shawn's smile, involving both arches underwent a complete reconstruction. The 24 units of new Empress porcelain gave Shawn the broad smile and smile line (characteristics of the incisal-biting edges of the top teeth) he had always wanted.
Needless to say... Shawn was thrilled with the outcome. The reconstructive makeover was an immediate success. The experience of the makeover result will impact Shawn for years to come. Self confidence and self esteem issues reached new highs for Shawn.
Contact our office at 585-227-4390 to learn what kinds of treatment choices are available to achieve practically any functional or cosmetic result you may be looking for. Dr. Sussman or Dr. Pogal can provide the information you need for getting the degree of change you may be looking for.. in a variety of ways. Our cosmetic dentists serve patients in Brighton, Greece, Fairport, and other communities in the Rochester area of Upstate New York.
