There is no better law firm than the Willis-Lucas law firm. They represented my wife and myself in our case. They were very professional. We sat down with Mr. Willis and Mr. Lucas both men are very knowledgeable and had us leaving feeling at ease. They always made themselves available to us, no matter what time of day. They are amazing lawyers with an incredible staff. If my wife or I ever find ourselves in another situation they will be our first phone call!
My initial meeting with Mr. Willis was an extremely positive one, he not only exuded confidence but compassion towards myself and my case. I ended up working more closely with Jonathan and Doug as my defense in a jury trial and they were absolutely amazing. Not once did I feel like I had to question their judgement or their dedication to my case. We ultimately won with a Not Guilty verdict, and I honestly believe it was due to their relentless fight and expertise. If you have a DUI, I highly recommend hiring the team here at Willis Lucas Law Group to guide you in the right direction.

Heatwave deaths spark French fury
Doctors and politicians have blamed the French government for an estimated 3000 deaths that occurred during a record-breaking heatwave.
French workers install beds inside a refrigerated morgue
The prime minister rejected the charges, instead pointing to the abandonment of the mostly elderly victims.
"Obviously, I own up to my share of responsibility in this tragedy, but I reject any notion that the public authorities did not work properly," Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin told the Journal du Dimanche newspaper.
His defence of the handling of the crisis came after the deadly two-week heatwave broke, and followed an outcry from doctors and the opposition that the government underestimated the disaster and failed to act fast enough.
The persistent temperatures of around 40 degrees Celsius hit elderly people the hardest, particularly those who lived alone in apartments in Paris and other cities, according to authorities.
France's traditional month-long vacation period in August aggravated the situation, since many hospitals were understaffed and neighbourhood doctors were away.
Delayed response
By the time the government did act last Thursday - launching a national emergency plan, boosting hospital beds and staff, and setting up temporary morgues - the heatwave was receding.
"It's the entire government that is on the spot for what I would call ... a serious leadership problem"
Opposition leader Francois Hollande
The head of the opposition Socialist party, Francois Hollande, told the Journal du Dimanche that Raffarin's government was guilty of "a lack of anticipation - everybody knew the heatwave was going to last; a lack of vigilance - the public alerts weren't taken seriously; and a lack of response."
He added: "It's the entire government that is on the spot for what I would call ... a serious leadership problem."
Health Minister Jean-François Mattei confirmed on Sunday that the number of deaths was "estimated at between 1600 and 3000" and that the final figures, expected next week, would "probably be around the upper part of this range."
"This is a catastrophe, a human tragedy because thousands of lives were lost," he said later in the day during a visit to a Red Cross centre.
"And this human catastrophe struck the most fragile and lonely among us."
But the minister insisted that the situation, now that the heatwave had passed, "is totally under control, but the health alert remains in place".
Old and lonely
Health minister Mattei has put alerts in place
The state hospitals authority for Paris agreed with Mattei's assessment, saying admission levels were back to those seen before the heatwave although staff were "very tired" from the previous days.
Mattei vowed a "transparent" review of how the crisis was handled, but said he did not feel like a scapegoat despite the criticism heaped on him.
Raffarin continued to blame the isolation of the elderly within French society for the high number of deaths.
Visiting a retirement home to emphasise his point, Raffarin on Saturday blamed the crisis on the general neglect of senior citizens in France.
Noting that half of those who succumbed to the intense heat died at home rather than in hospitals, Raffarin said the "loneliness of old people is a deep fault in French society."

Cells got their name from an Englishman named Robert Hooke in the year 1665.
He first saw and named "cells" while he was experimenting with a new instrument we now call a "microscope." …
These tiny boxes reminded him of the plain small rooms that monks lived in called "cells"..
Antoni van LeeuwenhoekTwo men are credited today with the discovery of microorganisms using primitive microscopes: Robert Hooke who described the fruiting structures of molds in 1665 and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek who is credited with the discovery of bacteria in 1676.
Galileo GalileiGalileo Galilei—The Father of Science.
"A cell is defined as the smallest, basic unit of life that is responsible for all of life's processes." … Hence, they are known as the building blocks of life. Each cell contains a fluid called the cytoplasm, which is enclosed by a membrane.
Neurons or nerve cells can be up to 3 feet long. A typical neuron has a cell morphology called soma, hair-like structures called dendrites and an axon. Neurons are specialized in conveying knowledge throughout the body. The sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons are three types of neurons.
Theodor SchwannComplete answer: Cell theory was put forward by a famous German botanist- Matthias Schleiden and an English zoologist- Theodor Schwann in the year 1839. It has the following propositions: 1) Cells are the basic unit of life and they are therefore considered to be the building blocks of living organisms.

Robert HookeThe Origins Of The Word 'Cell' In the 1660s, Robert Hooke looked through a primitive microscope at a thinly cut piece of cork. He saw a series of walled boxes that reminded him of the tiny rooms, or cellula, occupied by monks. Medical historian Dr. Howard Markel discusses Hooke's coining of the word "cell."
eggThe sperm is the smallest cell in human biology, but also one of the most complex. The egg meanwhile is the largest cell and similarly intricate. Looking further out into the natural world, the diversity of these sex cells, or gametes, is truly remarkable. Most species have two gametes, which we term male and female.

Netflix's New Film 'Cuties' Promotes the Disgusting Hypersexualization of Children
National | Rachel del Guidice | Aug 28, 2020 | 3:58PM | Washington, DC
Netflix in early September is releasing a French film, "Cuties," which has been criticized for its hypersexualization of young children. Some of the promotional material for the film likewise has been criticized, for which Netflix has since apologized.
Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, a nonprofit opposed to abortion and dedicated to promoting a culture of life, characterizes the film as "the outright promotion of pedophilia" and joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss it.
We also cover these stories:
"The Daily Signal Podcast" is available on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Pippa, Google Play, and Stitcher. All of our podcasts can be found at DailySignal.com/podcasts.

Rachel del Guidice: I'm joined today on "The Daily Signal Podcast" by Lila Rose. She's the founder and president of Live Action. Lila, it's great to have you with us on "The Daily Signal Podcast."
Lila Rose: Thanks for having me, Rachel.
Del Guidice: Well, it's great to be with you.
So, Netflix is releasing a new movie called "Cuties," which originally featured a sexualized poster of young girls and the original description stated, per real news: "Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with the twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her own femininity defying her family's traditions."
Lila, you've been speaking out about this film. What are your thoughts?
Rose: Sure. First of all, it just goes to show Netflix is not really caring about protecting girls or victims of sexual exploitation because when they said this poster was exploitative, but that the actual movie wasn't, I think that's just outright lie.
Anybody who watched that trailer, and I did watch this three-minute trailer of the movie, the movie is not released yet through Netflix, but it is clear that the whole film, it's not just the poster, but the whole film is exploiting young girls. It's not showing their femininity, it's sexualizing them.
Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter. Follow @LifeNewsHQ
And many of the images, even in that trailer, I would consider a softcore pornography, encouraging young girls to remove clothing, twerk, act in very sexual ways, hide it from their parents.
This is in an environment today where over 50% of minors online are being approached for sexual favors or being effectively molested online by creeps, by pedophiles, by people out to hurt children. So for Netflix to do this, I think they're just furthering the exploitation of children, and they're trying to normalize it, which is incredibly concerning and the reason why there's so much outrage, and there should be.
LifeNews depends on the support of readers like you to combat the pro-abortion media. Please donate now.
Del Guidice: You commented on Twitter that "Cuties" "is the outright promotion of pedophilia." Can you talk a little bit about more why that's the case?
Rose: In any time an adult is, or anyone, is engaging with a child in a sexual way, that's sexual abuse, and there are laws against it, as it should be. This is completely inappropriate, it's evil, it's harmful to children.
And an 11-year-old is a child, legally she's a child, she typically is not even past puberty at that age, she's prepubescent. And anybody sexualizing her, anybody treating her in a sexual way or taking sexual photos of her or creating a sexual film about her, that is a form of objectification and exploitation.
Pedophilia today, I think it's being normalized. We're seeing this, unfortunately, through a lot of the simple things, whether it's jokes by celebrities about pedophilia, whether it's an actual movement by some in the LGBTQIA+ movement saying that man-boy relationships should be normalized. There are these pushes in our society.
What this film does is it says that it's OK for people to get gape at, to look at, to actually approve of, and even promote young girls acting in sexual ways at just 11.
So this is what pedophiles do, they groom their victims to say that they should be acting sexy as children, that they are sexual beings as children and should act out sexually. And pedophiles use that approach in order to get their victims to feel more. They're trying to get them acclimated so that they can then abuse them.
This whole film is effectively a growing mechanism for young girls to tell them that it's normal to act out sexually, it's normal to do sexually suggestive dancing, wear sexually suggestive clothes, and that this is part of growing up. It's not part of growing up. This is actually part of a culture that objectifies women and young girls, and it needs to stop.
Del Guidice: Netflix did respond to the outrage. They said in a statement to Deadline, "We're deeply sorry for inappropriate artwork that we used for 'Cuties,' it is not OK, nor was it representative of this French film, which premiered at Sundance. We've now updated the pictures and promotions." What is your reaction to what they said?
Rose: They're lying. Netflix is outright lying to their subscribers and the public here because the poster that created outcry is merely effectively a still image of the images that are in their trailer, and that will be in their film.
If anybody were to watch the trailer, the trailer is even more disturbing than the poster because it still has girls being encouraged to dress suggestively, dance suggestively in a sexual way, hide it from their parents, as some sort of like 11-year-old awakening, when they're, again, just young girls, they're not even close to adults yet.
So to say that the poster was wrong, but the actual short film isn't wrong, the preview isn't wrong, is preposterous. That trailer is literally more images of the poster and images just like that poster had except worse.
Del Guidice: I know you said, Lila, that you did see the trailer to this film. Is this something that you plan on watching once it's released?
Rose: Absolutely not. No.
I think it's clear, I watched the trailer because I thought maybe there's something we don't know here, maybe the poster was a mistake of some kind, but the trailer reaffirms that the entire film is what the poster indicated, which is that it's a sexualization of 11-year-old girls, it's grooming them to act sexually, to think that that's normal, and the entire film will just be an extension of that.
I think it would be inappropriate for anyone to watch that film. And it's certainly unacceptable that they had young actors acting in that way, and it's unacceptable that they're putting it on a mass distribution platform through Netflix.
All in all, it is only normalizing the sexualization of children, which is becoming a crisis in this country.
I mentioned earlier that over 50% of young teens have been sexually reached to on the internet. They have been solicited for sex, they'd been solicited for sexual images, they've received unwanted advances—often from adults, from pedophiles—on the internet. And this is over 50% of kids today.
We know that this is a mass problem, whether it's the platform of TikTok or Instagram or Snapchat, that sexual solicitation is happening via the web, that adults are grooming children regularly, attempting to groom children in order to then abuse them.
This is a mass problem. Combine this with the fact that pornography use rates only increase, have increased in the last 10 years dramatically, that the rate of child porn only mushrooms every single year. So this is an epidemic in our country and globally. And for Netflix to be part of the problem is completely inexcusable. They need to pull this film.
Del Guidice: On that note, Lila, in commenting about this film, Dawn Hawkins, the senior vice president and executive director of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, … said that "Cuties" clearly sexualizes children, and in particular girls of color, the pornography industry is built on these stereotypes. Lila, can you talk a little bit about how this happens?
Rose: I mentioned earlier that over 50% of kids have received solicitation. It's actually over 50% of kids have seen pornography online. And right now some of the latest stats say 1 in 5 teenagers have received solicitation. So we know that pornography and sexual solicitation is affecting young children.
To show them through a Netflix film that this is normal, it's normal to act sexually when you're 11, it's normal to twerk—twerking, by the way, making sexual suggestive moves, showing body parts—that's the kind of solicitation a lot of kids are receiving.
So they're receiving solicitation that says, "Can you send me pics? Or can you do a FaceTime call with me?" Or they're asking completely inappropriate or making sexual suggestive questions or comments. So this is all part of this, the overarching problem, which is the sexualization of children.
Pedophilia is sexual interest in a child. Acting on pedophilia is sexually exploiting that child. That is what is happening. And these platforms—whether it is TikTok, or it is Instagram, or it's Snapchat—are allowing a lot of pedophiles on their platforms to make unsolicited, and even if a word is solicited, it would be wrong to basically make advances on children.
Netflix is basically sending the message through their film "Cuties" that this is normal for kids to act sexually, that it should be encouraged, and that it should be hidden from parents, and that's the way it should be. That's not the reality.
The reality is children need to be protected. And sex is something that is very beautiful and sacred, but it's for adults in a loving, lifelong relationship, which should be a marriage, and it's not for getting children to get involved sexually.
So the larger cultural problem here extends beyond "Cuties," beyond Netflix, it's the use of technology. It's the normalization of this from other political agendas connected to, unfortunately, the LGBTQIA lobby.
And a lot of parents when they find out about it, they're completely disturbed, and for good reason, because we are entrusted as parents, and I have a young child, we are entrusted as parents to protect our children. And these companies, entertainment companies, and technology platforms are working against parents' interests and the protection of children.
Del Guidice: Well, it was actually one of my follow-up questions, and you pretty much did answer it, but big picture, Lila, are we doing OK as a culture, letting girls stay girls—obviously, it's showing us in our face that this is a problem we have—or would you say our culture is pressuring young girls to be sexual when they're far too young?
Rose: Yeah. Just case and point that our culture is sexualizing young girls, encouraging them to be sexual when they're far too young.
Women are beautiful, girls are beautiful, human beings are beautiful. We should celebrate the beauty and the goodness of all people, but sexualizing is creating children, or you can be an adult, into an object for the sake of sexual pleasure.
Human beings are not to be made objects for the sake of sexual pleasure, human beings are created for love. Young children are created for love. And sexual pleasure is only appropriate in the context of a marriage where there is love and where there is a willingness to start a family and do all the things that are ordered to the purpose of sex.
Sex is designed for creating new life, it's designed for intimacy. It's not designed for abuse, exploitation, or the horrific situation of taking a child and trying to make them responsible for creating sexual pleasure to an adult. It's evil. And most people know that.
I think most people know that, but in a society that is desensitizing itself by allowing so much pornography … So many young girls are being influenced by role models that are basically fronting their sexuality, using it as a tool to sell things on Instagram, or to get more likes or followers. It all sends the wrong message.
The positive messages: human beings are beautiful, we're created in the image of God, we are sacred, we are precious. Sex is a beautiful thing, but it's not created to sell, to use, to abuse. People aren't created for that, they're created for love.
Del Guidice: Lila, how would you encourage not only parents, but so many of those who do have Netflix, and so many people have it, to respond to this?
Rose: Netflix does pay attention. They did back down and said the poster was bad. They need to keep hearing from us, whether it's through social media, it's contacting Netflix's customer service bureau. You can also use the power of the purse and say, "I will not subscribe to Netflix anymore, and refuse to continue to be a patron of their services."
So I would encourage all of these as options, because if we are silent and we just let this go on, they will continue to do it. So I think if you're a customer or if you're just a concerned American or parent, making your voice heard publicly, as well as directly, to Netflix is crucial.
Del Guidice: Well, we're going to get back to sexualization and hypersexualization of women. I want to take one caveat here and talk a little bit about a recent development you tweeted about this week, talking about Planned Parenthood.
You said, "Planned Parenthood staffers admit under oath to committing partial-birth abortions against federal law to [obtain] intact organs. This involves pulling a baby feet first—except the head—and then sticking scissors in—suctioning the brain and crushing her skull." Can you tell us about what these staffers admitted to and what the situation is here?
Rose: Yeah, so, it's extremely horrific, but keep in mind, this is happening in our country right now today—late-term abortions and abortions to the number of 2,300 abortions every single day, all on children with beating hearts, and any baby of any age should be protected and not killed.
So these are particularly horrific procedures to learn about because we're talking about a fully formed infant that is about to be born, and instead it's turned around, delivered breach. His or her spinal cord is cut or his neck is snipped … by a knife or forceps. And then their brains are suctioned out to collapse the skull and continue to deliver the baby. Absolutely horrific.
This is something that's being admitted on tape that this is done. We in the pro community know this is happening, we're working to stop it. Most Americans don't know it.
But what's so powerful about this, Rachel, is a current abortionist, Deborah Nucatola, who has worked for Planned Parenthood is admitting on tape in 2014 to Center for Medical Progress investigators, a friend of mine, David Daleiden, that she actually uses this method of partial-birth abortion because she doesn't want to rip the body apart in utero.
This is absolutely horrific to even consider, but in a late-term abortion, you need to deliver the baby, in any abortion you need to deliver the baby. You want to deliver the baby dead, that's what the abortionist said. They're paid to stop the beating heart.
But in this situation they have another motive. They also want to get solvable body parts so that they can then sell them. Planned Parenthood wants to make sure that when the body is removed from the mother, the baby's body, it's removed whole so that they're able to harvest the body parts.
If they abort in the typical way, which would be to rip the baby out piece by piece, with most of the baby still in the mother, they might damage those valuable organs that they want to sell illegally.
And so what the abortionist is admitting on this tape is that she uses what is technically an illegal abortion procedure to deliver the baby breach. So a living, kicking, moving baby, stab the baby in the neck, suction it's brain so that she can then harvest from that baby's body usable organs and body parts. Completely heinous.
They later on, the same abortionist, under oath, talked about doing this again. So the case is crystal clear that the abortion industry is doing this, they have been doing this for decades, and that's one of the reasons that Live Action and other groups are calling on the Department of Justice to take action right now, because there is a clear case, I think, against them.
Federal law says you can't sell baby body parts. Here, Planned Parenthood is admitting that they actually changed their abortion procedures to get sellable baby body parts. The case is very clear.
So we're calling on the Department of Justice to step in here to prosecute these atrocities, and to ultimately lead to the conviction of Planned Parenthood, which would stop their taxpayer funding and shutter many of their houses of horror.
Del Guidice: Well, thank you for sharing that. As hard as it is to hear, it's important to be educated on that. So thanks for sharing that.
Going back to hypersexualization, we talked a lot about "Cuties," Cardi B just released a new song called "WAP," and a lot of people have a lot of things to say about it, but what is your perspective on her song as it relates to the hypersexualization of women?
Rose: Yeah, I did not watch the full music video. I saw screenshots, so I think I understand what happened in it, and I read the lyrics. It's just a shame. It's a shame that someone with Cardi B's talent and her potential, that she is writing a song that, in an unabashedly, blatant way, sexualizes and objectifies women.
The whole thing is about our body parts and getting things from men sexually, and graphic depictions of sex. It is a pornographic song, and it doesn't uplift or elevate women or men or relationships. It brings it down to the lowest denominator and degrades everybody.
So I look forward to the day when we have more people involved in pop music and rap who are respectful of women and respectful of human beings and create beautiful, positive music that talks about all the good things instead of objectifying them.
I do think that those people exist in culture, in the arts right now. I think even just someone like Justin Bieber, and he's not specifically rap, he's into some more R&B lately, but even him rapping about his love for his wife or talking about how he saved sex for marriage, and how he wanted to get married to his now wife, and in the process, he wanted to make sure to not have sex with her beforehand because he thinks sex is precious and he respects her.
Those examples do exist in our culture, which is the good news, and I would just hope that Cardi B can maybe hear some of the feedback that this is not OK, and that she can use her many talents to create good and beautiful music.
Del Guidice: Something that has joined the conversation since the release of her song, because it was so popular, and I know there's an internationally known female comic that I follow that basically said what I'm about to say, and she was saying that Cardi B is essentially courageously joining this crowd of male artists and rappers who have been unabashedly producing sexually explicit songs for decades, and that this was a very courageous thing to do. And I wrote about this.
Something I want to ask you about is since when does empowerment for anyone mean sexualization and basically putting yourself out there as, "Oh, I'm sexual, and this is freeing somehow." Why is that?
Rose: Well, Rachel, I think you're spot-on. It shouldn't be a thing. I think that the idea that there are men out there sexualizing women and objectifying them and being disrespectful, and so therefore, us as women should do the same thing so that we can be just like them—that is lowering the bar and it's getting in the mud and becoming like the very people that we're criticizing.
So again, I think that there's this temptation to just want to be like the worst person out there. If being like a man is to disrespect women and sexualize them, then as a woman, I'm going to go do that. You're just lowering yourself to their level.
Again, I think Cardi B has such a huge platform, she could do so much good for the world by saying, "I'm not going to be part of that culture, that culture of objectification, that culture of being crass and being disrespectful to women. I'm going to elevate." And there are people out there trying to do that.
So again, I think your voice is really important. I think anybody's voice on social media speaking out … because usually sex can sell, which is, again, a bad thing. I think that's why we have actual sexual trafficking and human trafficking, because sex can sell. But there is an alternate where if people are willing to speak up against it, it does encourage and incentivize artists and creators to say, "Wait a minute, just because sex can sell with some people, it doesn't mean we should be doing it."
So I think that the outcry is good to Cardi, and I think the message can be a positive one. Look, you don't have to get in the mud with other rappers that disrespect women and objectify women, you could be part of the solution and create really empowering, beautiful music.

Government MP Marc Bean accused the One Bermuda Alliance of "playing the racecard" in electing black MP Craig Cannonier as party leader.
Mr Bean, who is also black, made the remarks while lambasting the OBA for using what he described as "racial rhetoric" in Parliament.
Mr Cannonier was elected party leader last September, beating Shadow Minister of Finance Bob Richards, who is also black, in an election. Senator Michael Dunkley, who is white, was widely tipped to run in the contest too, but decided not to do so.
Interim OBA leader John Barritt stepped down from that role and his Devonshire South Central seat to pave the way for Mr Cannonier to take the helm.
During the leadership election campaign, Mr Cannonier said the OBA would not allow the Progressive Labour Party to paint it as a white party as it did the United Bermuda Party.
At the last general election, the PLP depicted black United Bermuda Party candidate Wayne Scott as a puppet of the then UBP leader Mr Dunkley in a widely criticised TV advert.
Although Speaker Stanley Lowe did not interrupt Mr Bean's speech about Mr Cannonier, he reminded him during a later portion of his speech that a standing order of the House of Assembly prevents members discussing matter irrelevant to the Budget debate at hand.
When OBA MP Pat Gordon-Pamplin indicated she was going to respond to what Mr Bean said, the Speaker reminded her of this standing order. She replied that she would leave the topic alone.
Invited outside the House of Assembly chamber to share his views on Mr Bean's speech, Mr Cannonier laughed before replying: "I don't think there's really much to say to that. I purposely didn't respond to it. People are entitled to their personal opinions. All it was was his personal opinion and I haven't taken it personally.

Augusta Township supervisor, wife plead guilty to animal cruelty charges
Published: Feb. 10, 2020, 3:10 p.m.
A photo taken by Humane Society of Huron Valley animal cruelty investigators showing the animal's living conditions inside Shelby's home May 25, 2018, leading to their seizure.
Nathan Clark | nclark1@mlive.com
WASHTENAW COUNTY, MI – Facing multiple felony animal cruelty charges for failing to care for 71 animals in their home, Augusta Township Supervisor Brian Shelby and his wife have both pleaded guilty to lower misdemeanor charges.
Brian Shelby, 65, pleaded guilty, Feb. 3, to seven misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty toward two to three animals, while his wife, Tammy Shelby, 58, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty toward two to three animals, court records show.
Seven misdemeanor counts of having unlicensed dogs and three felony counts of animal cruelty toward 10 or more animals were dismissed for both, records show.
The case stems from the May 25, 2018 seizure and surrender of 37 cats, nine dogs, 13 chickens, 10 exotic birds and two peacocks from the Shelbys' home after investigators from the Humane Society of Huron Valley and the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office determined the animals were living in unsanitary conditions, records show.
Township supervisor facing felony neglect charges, surrenders 20 animals
Investigators found excessive feces, urine, and debris littering the yard and inside the home. Many of the dogs and cats were locked in filthy plastic kennels, forced to step and lie in their own waste, investigators said.
Most of the house did not have electricity or ventilation, and there was little food on the premises, investigators said. The exotic birds, including five cockatoos, two macaws, two conures and an Amazon parrot, were closed up in a room without light or ventilation, they said.
"Mr. Shelby claimed he was helping homeless animals. This case highlights a common problem whereby people claiming to be rescuing animals are more akin to hoarders, causing direct and serious harm," Humane Society of Huron Valley CEO Tanya Hilgendorf said in a written statement.
"Good intentions don't justify or excuse animal cruelty. A good reminder to the public to do your homework before working with any animal group. No rational and caring person would have walked through this home and willingly left an animal here," Hilgendorf said.
The pair are scheduled for sentencing March 16 before Washtenaw County Trial Judge David Swartz. Both are free on a personal recognizance bond.
Misdemeanor animal cruelty toward two to three animals is punishable by up to one year in jail, a fine of up to $2,000, 300 hours of community service or any combination of those three options.


A fairly quiet three days because my kids are away and so it's just the wife and me at home.
On day #52 I first worked OZ3FD, Henry on 80m when I was running just 10 watts and then I had a chat with Jim, MM0SMD in the fantastically named "Dufftown", Scotland.
I did a similar thing on day #53 where my first QSO was running low power – I worked Tom, DF2BO early in the morning on 80m followed by a chat with Yuri, RT5A on 40m in the evening.
Day #54 saw three contacts, firstly a special event station for Antarctica Week, IP2ANT on 80m and then I had a chat with someone I've already worked this year, S51CK, Ivo in Slovenia before ending the day talking to Andy, DP7T operating a club station near Dortmund.

Researchers Test Inhalable Measles Vaccine
Sustained high vaccination coverage is key to preventing deaths from measles. Despite the availability of a vaccine, measles remains an important killer of children worldwide, particularly in less-developed regions where vaccination coverage is limited. A team of researchers, led by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the University of Colorado, developed and successfully tested a dry powder, live-attenuated measles vaccine that can be inhaled. The novel vaccine was studied in rhesus macaques. Results of the study are published in the January 31 edition of the journal PNAS.
The current measles vaccine requires two injections to provide full immunityone given at 9 to 12 months of age and another later in childhood. Special training for needle and syringe injections is needed to administer the vaccine, which requires refrigeration and is shipped as a powder that must be reconstituted and kept on ice in the field clinic. Such injections increase the risk of exposure to blood borne diseases.
According to the study, the new dry powder measles vaccine provided the macaques complete protection from measles with a single vaccine dose. The vaccine was delivered by aerosol using either one of two dry powder inhalers, the PuffHaler and the BD Solovent. No adverse effects were observed.
"An effective dry powder vaccine would be tremendously helpful in less developed regions where resources are limited," says Diane E. Griffin, MD, PhD, senior author of the study and chair of the W. Harry Feinstone Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. "This vaccine can be shipped as powder and does not require reconstitution or special training to administer, which could greatly increase the ease and safety of measles vaccination worldwide."
Before a vaccine was developed in 1963, there were 130 million cases of measles each year resulting in more than 7 million deaths annually. Measles deaths were estimated to be 164,000 in 2008.
Human trials for the dry powder measles vaccine are in development in India.
"The tests of inhalable dry powder vaccine at Johns Hopkins provide confidence that it can safely be tested in human volunteers after regulatory permission is given by Indian authorities," says Robert Sievers, professor at the CU Boulder and a Fellow of the Cooperative Institute of Research in Environmental Sciences. He is also CEO of Aktiv-Dry LLC and co-inventor of the PuffHaler and the new vaccine microparticles.
Authors of "Successful respiratory immunization with dry powder live-attenuated measles virus vaccine in rhesus macaques" include Wen-Hsuan Lin, Paul A. Rota, Mark Papania, Stephen P. Cape, David Bennett, Brian Quinn, Robert E. Sievers, Charles Shermer, Kenneth Powell, Robert J. Adams, Steve Godin and Scott Winston.
The research was supported by grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Foundation for National Institutes of Health. Additional support was provided by the Marjorie Gilbert Scholarship Fund.

The state of the MSP in 2019: Why flexibility and further moves to the cloud are key
Managed service providers (MSPs) are in a fascinating place right now. They more often than not have plenty of longevity, while the vast majority believe today is as good as ever to be in the industry.
Yet the two points can be conflated. With longevity comes a need to change course, to avoid falling behind competitors. But as organisations continue to move to the cloud, and as their cloudy workloads become increasingly complex, the role of the MSP becomes increasingly vital. It is just about where exactly...

The Welsh Conference is a holiday and an opportunity to unite around the central truths of the gospel with people of every age and every part of Wales.
Christians come together for a week of Bible teaching, warm fellowship and to worship the Lord Jesus Christ. The conference is held at Aberystwyth, Ceredigion and although the programme is full, there is plenty of time to relax and reflect on what has been heard.
The conference is through the medium of Welsh, but all the main meetings are simultaneously translated.

Buggy is an experience of extreme driving on small cars with high speed and power on purpose-built ATV tracks. Drive, adrenaline, brights emotions and control over the machine's power — you will remember this incredible experience for the entire life.
At the appointed time of the meeting in your hotel/villa will arrive a driver of the transport company Mason Adventures Bali. You need to wait for the car at the reception of your hotel or near the villa.
We will head the Koko Bambu restaurant, which is next to the buggy centre.
On arrival at the buggy centre garage, the instructor will choose you a single seat car with 325 CC engine or a double seat one with 570 CC engine; you will be given a helmet, disposable hats, masks.
After watching the video instruction on operating the vehicle and safety rules, you go to the training track. The training track will give you the basic understanding of handling the buggy.
Then we go to the prepared track, where there will be lots of turns of different complexity levels, downhill and uphill parts of the road with rough ground.
After the first lap, you will have time to relax, make error analysis and take photos.
The program includes 3 laps, the length of each is 5 km. After the extreme activity, full of emotions, we return to the garage.
At Koko Bambu restaurant you can take a shower, swim in the pool and relax with incredible views of jungles and rice terraces. If desired, you can visit the Adventure Mason chocolate factory.
After lunch, the Mason Adventures transfer will take you back to your accommodation.
This was our second time on the buggy tour and it was just as good as the first.
What a brilliant day out. We were picked up from our hotel promptly and whizzed down to the office where we had our safety briefing and got kitted out before going out to the buggies. It was a fairly large group but there were plenty of vehicles for everyone. The buggies are fantastic, I was nervous to drive them but actually they were so responsive and easy to drive, I'd happily do it all again. You get incredibly dirty and dusty but that's half the fun!
I was a little scared, but fun! It is very pleasant that after you can relax in the pool and have a tasty lunch. Back drove about an hour.
Ехали до места долго, но эмоции и адреналин во время катания окупили дорогу слихвой! Нам очень понравилось! Мы с мужем были двоем в одной машине, я, конечно, больше визжала :) Девочки, очень советую эту эскурсию для ваших мужчин!
Забрали из отеля во время. 3 круга пролетели как то очень быстро, но было весело. Хорошо, что потом кормят и можно сполоснуться, чтобы не ехать обратно потным и грязным.
Мы очень здорово провели время! По приезду был брифинг, на котором все показали и объяснили, потом поехали кататься. Мы с подругой никуда не гнались, а вот наши мужчины, конечно, посоревновались в скорости прохождения кругов. После заездов было очень приятно пообедать и поплавать в бассейне.

Yes! Finally! Just what you've been waiting for!
By following the invaluable advice of Mia and her very special guest authors (including best friend and urban guerrilla Lilly Moscovitz; Grandm�re, the dowager princess of Genovia; Manhattan beauty expert Paolo; Italian fashion specialist Sebastiano Grimaldi; and Tina Hakim Baba, resident high school romance specialist), you will be well prepared for the day you finally ascend the throne . . . or at the very least, you'll know the difference between a fish fork and a salad fork.
What is Princess Lessons about?
Princess Lessons covers everything you need to know about being a princess, as told by Mia with help from Lilly, Tina, Sebastiano, Paolo, and (of course) Grandmère, among others. It's not another volume of Mia's diaries, which is why it isn't numbered as such: it's just what Mia has picked up from those long afternoons at The Plaza with Grandmère. With gorgeous, fabulous, fun illustrations.
Why should I read Princess Lessons?
Every girl should know how to set a proper table, address foreign heads of state, and perform the perfect curtsy. You must be prepared for your true parents, the king and queen of some country you haven't heard of yet, to return you to your rightful throne.
But I'm not a princess. Do I still need Princess Lessons?
Of course! This book has all sorts of invaluable advice—how to get your prince charming to notice you, how to pluck your eyebrows—from a variety of reliable sources. And it's WAY more fun than sitting around with Grandmère.
Once I've achieved self-actualization and learned what a salad fork is, will I be a princess?
Well, you might not be the princess of an actual country, but you will be able to wear a sparkly tiara with pride. If you are kind to others, considerate of the world around you, and as gracious and thoughtful as you can possibly be, you are truly a princess at heart.
Where are my royal parents, and when will they come to reclaim me to my rightful throne?
You never know—so start preparing now!


Alitalia SpA started bankruptcy proceedings for the second time in a decade, throwing the survival of Italy's flag carrier in doubt after the airline failed to fend off budget rivals.
Shareholders voted unanimously to file for insolvency administration, the airline said in a statement on Tuesday.
During a cabinet meeting convened in the evening, the Italian government approved the start of special administration and appointed Luigi Gubitosi, Enrico Laghi and Stefano Paleari as administrators. Gubitosi was appointed to Alitalia's board in March and would have been made executive chairman if the recapitalization had gone through. Under Italian law, the government is tasked to appoint supervisors to turn around the company or order its liquidation.
The government also approved a €600 million bridge loan that will last for six months. Economic Development Minister Carlo Calenda said the debt will be granted at "market conditions," with an interest rate of 1000 basis points added to the Euribor.
Alitalia, which was mainly backed by Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways PJSC, last week said it had exhausted all options to stay solvent after workers nixed a 2 billion-euro refinancing plan involving 1,600 job losses. The cuts to its workforce of 12,500 employees may be even deeper under administration, as a rescue appears unlikely. Etihad, which owns 49 percent of the carrier, said it won't extend additional funding.
Alitalia, which missed out on a round of consolidation that shored up other European flag carriers, has seen its standing further eroded since a previous bankruptcy in 2008. Etihad's stake purchase, part of a 1.76 billion-euro rescue of Alitalia in 2014, was a major chance as the Persian Gulf carrier sought to transform the struggling company into a five-star operator.
The plans never panned out as budget rivals Ryanair Holdings Plc and EasyJet Plc further ate into its position in Italy, and a wave of terror attacks in Europe hurt tourism in the region. With the insolvency filing, Alitalia's board of directors "acknowledged the serious economic and financial situation of the company," the airline said in the statement.
The administrators will take over the business and present a new strategy that may entail asset sales, reduced operations and job cuts aimed at making the airline viable within two years. If a turnaround isn't possible, the administrators may order the carrier to be liquidated. The Italian government has already ruled out a bailout.
While Etihad withdrew financial support, the Gulf carrier said it's ready to work with Alitalia as a "commercial partner," which effectively means that codeshare agreements continue. Etihad passengers booked on Alitalia flights can proceed with travel plans as normal, it said.
Alitalia, whose stock was delisted in the wake of its previous collapse, saw its 375 million-euro bond due July 2020 fall on Tuesday to 15.9 cents on the euro, down from about 45 cents on April 21 and 94 cents at the end of last year, according to price data compiled by Bloomberg. Assicurazioni Generali SpA bought 300 million euros of the issue in 2015.
Alitalia's years of underperformance diminished its standing within the Italian economy and the aviation industry. The carrier's share of the Italian market slumped to 18 percent as of 2015 from 23 percent in 2007, according to an analysis by Ugo Arrigo and Andrea Giuricin of Milan Bicocca University. Ryanair, Europe's biggest discount carrier, now ranks No. 1 with a 23 percent share, up from 12 percent a decade earlier.
The Italian carrier has lost almost 3 billion euros since it emerged from bankruptcy in 2009, the study shows. The company reported a net loss of 199 million euros in 2015, the last year it published figures. The special administrators will have 180 days to come up with a new plan, with a possible extension of 90 days. The process, available for large insolvent businesses, is aimed at protecting a company's assets and workers through reorganisation.

FG to address 17 million housing deficit before May 2023
Home Real estate
The federal government is leaving no stone unturned to address the estimated 17 million housing deficit in Nigeria before the exit of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2023.
Gbenga Ashafa, the managing director, Federal Housing Authority (FHA) said this at the soft launch of Expressview Estate Lugbe, a partnership project between Mixta Africa and the FHA in Abuja.
Ashafa, who said there is no actual data of the housing deficit in Nigeria, noted that the Buhari administration has done a lot in delivering houses to both the low and the high income earners.
He said the data of housing deficit in Nigeria do not always capture unoccupied houses, adding that housing projects like the one flagged off in Lugbe which is seating on a 1.5 hectare of land where 58 terrace flats would be built are not mostly captured.
The FHA MD who said the agency has just completed about 300 houses in Zuba for the low income earners, added that a lot of houses have been delivered to Nigerians within a short period of time.
"What the Honourable Minister of Work and Housing have been saying right from onset, we've not been able to come up with a specific figure.
"However, look at the project we are embarking on now. Are we counting it? Look at the number of unoccupied houses. Are we counting them?

"If you go round, you will see a lot of unoccupied houses because of the amount of money they have put on them. We know that we have a lot of work to do but the Buhari's APC administration is doing a lot to ensure that we reduce the number of Housing deficits in the country.
"It is part of the promise and manifesto of our party and the promise of President Muhammadu Buhari. So, we are not just providing houses on one level. We have three levels in the mass housing that we must cater for them.
"We have the lower, middle income earners and this protection is for the upper income earners. They are Nigerians too. You can't expect someone who is earning N30, 000 to buy a house of N25 million.
Also speaking, Hayatudeen Awwal, the Managing Director of the FHA Mortgage Bank said the partnership with Mixta Africa will transform the Expressview Estate in Lugbe.
"Any development in Lugbe along the road, is for the Federal Housing Authority. Lugbe belongs to the federal housing authority. We delivered Gwarinpa, Karu, Maitama, Asokoro, Kubwa Estates and now we are here
"The entire project will be funded to deliver Houses with ease. We carefully selected the partners. We would have commissioned the project but the mask on the plot of land delayed the process," Awwal said.
On her part, Sade Hughes, the Country Director, Mixta Africa, said the developer has been leading the development of Africa, adding that it decided to expand their business to Abuja with partnership with FHA Mortgage Bank.
In his remarks, Ugochukwu Ndubuisi, Mixta executive director of legal and corporate services said the partnership was a welcome development as Mixta Africa takes pride in building communities.
"We have built properties in Lagos and Port Harcourt and now, we are in Abuja and we will use the Expressview Estate project in Lugbe to showcase our capability. We will complete this project on time and move to other ones," Ndubuisi said.

Back behind the hotplate and cooking on gas, Gordon is certain to make temperatures rise as more restaurateur hopefuls pit their wits and cooking skills against each other, under his watchful eye. In the season premiere, 18 excited new chefs embark on a journey to cook their way to the top and win the grand prize – to become the head chef at BLT Steak in New York City, with a salary of $250,000. It's a battle of the sexes, as Chef Ramsay divides the group into a red team (women) and a blue team (men) to begin their first challenge – to prepare their signature dishes. Things turn chaotic when the blue team hits a speed bump during the first dinner service and Chef Ramsay loses his cool, shutting down both kitchens.

*** Prime Minister Stephen Harper guest stars***
The discovery of a map and a letter signed by Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, is found on the corpse of a murder victim, sending Murdoch on an investigation that risks national security. When the victim is identified as a former Minister of Defence, Canadian spy Terence Meyers (Peter Keleghan) - Murdoch's nemesis - warns Murdoch off the case. With the help of Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier, Murdoch learns the map is thought to indicate a spot in Lake Ontario where a small fortune in gold was sunk - gold intended to influence the outcome of the American Civil War. In a race against time to avoid a major diplomatic dispute, Murdoch and his team set sail under cover of darkness in a desperate attempt to locate the gold before the Americans do. Prime Minister Stephen Harper guest stars as hockey fan, Desk Sergeant Armstrong.
