With the calendar recently turning over to 2019, we usually look toward a modern future as well as yearning for the best of the past. Music is no different. Our late 2018 discovery of The Twelve AM is the perfect band to satisfy both of these checkmarks, while also having the perfect name to ring in the New Year with.
The three-piece band out of Connecticut provides a rock style that brings pieces of the past together with a modern feel ready to start 2019 with a rock n' roll explosion. Singer-songwriter Chris Champagne, drummer Lee D'Ambrosio, and bassist Steven Michels perfected their chops back in the days when live punk rock music was a staple of the Northeast scene. After a solid run, life caught up and they took an extended hiatus. Now they are back with a bang and a new record to have the world hear.
On January 18th, The Twelve AM will release Pretty Noise. .The 10 track album was mastered by Brad Blackwood at Euphonic Masters in Memphis, Tennessee, and will be released in a partnership with Red Electric Recordings.
Right from the opener "Punk Drunk" the energy grabs you as big loud guitar, pounding drums, and Champagne's smooth and expansive vocals put together a perfect pop rock song. "Punk Drunk" works just as well today as it would 15 years ago. Classic alt-rock! This speed and power combined with raw vocal emotion continues on "Run With The Bulls". The influence of 90's Goo Goo Dolls songs can be heard here.
The Twelve AM slows it down a little bit with "Elope" but the power is still there, just bridled back a tad. The big choruses ring with authenticity and draw in any listener that truly loves real songwriting. "Lipstick Red" turns it back up a little as the guitar-based emotional rock n' roll makes your heart beat just a little bit faster. Some impressive guitar solos (too often missing in today's music) are featured as well.
The powerful drumming of D'Ambrosio is featured on "New Girl". The Twelve AM is a band of truly talented musicians that continue to keep my attention throughout Pretty Noise. The record concludes with "Empty" and "My Autumn" which show off the softer and passionate side of the group. Really can't say enough good things about this band that seems to have everything pointed in the right direction.
Keep up with The Twelve AM and have a taste of their new record for yourself HERE.

The Grand Prix of Road America, also known as the Sonsio Grand Prix at Road America for sponsorship reasons, is an IndyCar Series race held at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. For twenty-five years, the event was part of the CART series, with the first race being held in 1982. The event was put on hiatus in 2008 after the unification of Champ Car into the Indy Racing League.

On August 8, 2015, it was announced that the race would return beginning with the 2016 IndyCar Series season. The race weekend typically includes all three series under the Mazda Road to Indy and the Pirelli World Challenge (GT/GT-A/GT Cup & GTS) as support races.

Race history
The first major open wheel racing at Road America was a USAC/SCCA Formula 5000 (SCCA Continental Championship) held from 1974 to 1976.

The CART Indy car series first visited Road America in 1982. Road America was one of several road and street races that were added to the series during the 1980s. Immediately, the race became a popular event, owing much to the challenging, competitive, and picturesque nature of the course. Along with Milwaukee, the CART series for many years featured two stops annually in the state of Wisconsin.

Since its inception, Road America has been the longest track utilized on the Indy car circuit. At 4.048 miles (6.515 km), fuel mileage has been a deciding factor in many races. On more than one occasion, competitors have run out of fuel within sight of victory, occasionally leading to surprise winners. In some years, rain has been a factor, again adding a difficult challenge to even the most experienced drivers.

Throughout nearly its entire history as part of the CART/CCWS series calendar, the race was scheduled for either August or September, usually late in the season. The race was oftentimes a pivotal race in the championship hunt. The race began as a 50-lap/200-mile race, but was later lengthened. In 2007 only, the race was paired in a double-header weekend with the ALMS Road America 500.

The high speeds obtained on the course have seen several major crashes. A. J. Foyt went off in turn one in 1990, and nearly ended his career due to severe leg and ankle injuries. During a test session in 2006, Cristiano da Matta hit a deer, suffering a subdural hematoma. Katherine Legge suffered one of the most severe crashes during the 2006 race. the car lost a rear wing going into the Turn 11 Kink, and flipped into the catchfence.

Race revival
In February 2003, CART officials filed a lawsuit against the promoters of the race, stating they had failed to pay sanctioning fees due from the previous year's race, and failed to make payments due for the 2003 race. On March 11, series officials cancelled the race outright.

The reaction among media and fans was very negative, as many believed the series was dropping one of its marquee events. A few weeks later, the track issued a countersuit against CART, stating that the sanctioning body broke the contract by cancelling the race. Mario Andretti stepped in to mediate, and in April the two sides came together to reinstate the event. The race was renamed the "Mario Andretti Grand Prix" in his honor.

After coming back for two more seasons, Road America was left off the 2005 Champ Car schedule due to lack of sponsorship and declining attendance. Promoters, however, were able to bring the race back for 2006 and 2007. The track was to be part of the 2008 Champ Car schedule, but it became a casualty of the 2008 open wheel unification. The event went on hiatus for nearly a decade.

After several years of speculation, the race was revived as part of the IndyCar Series in 2016 to a rousing success. It essentially replaced the Milwaukee 250 on the schedule.

First wins
Despite the demanding and challenging nature of the course, Road America has been the site of the first career win for several drivers in Indy car racing. In early years, Héctor Rebaque and "Uncle" Jacques Villeneuve both scored their first and only wins in the Indy cars. In 1986, Emerson Fittipaldi won his second-career CART series race at Road America, but it was notably his first such win on a road course.

In the 1990s, Paul Tracy won his first career pole position at Road America, and Jacques Villeneuve followed in the footsteps of his uncle in winning his first Indy car race here as well.

Dario Franchitti, Christian Fittipaldi, Bruno Junqueira, and Alex Tagliani also all scored their first-career CART/Champ Car series wins at Road America. In 2020, Felix Rosenqvist won his first career IndyCar Series race, while Patricio O'Ward (who finished second, and had led the most laps) scored his first pole position and first podium finish.

Unser jinx
The father and son duo of Al Unser Sr. and Al Unser Jr., both champions in the CART series and multiple time Indianapolis 500 winners, notably failed to ever win a race at Road America, in some occasions with shocking heartbreak. That is in stark contrast to the rival Andretti family, which scored six wins at the track, and only one win (1969) at Indy.

Al Sr. ran out of fuel on the final lap while leading in 1982. Al Jr. was leading handily in 1985 until he lost control in a sudden rain shower, crashed and broke his ankle. Unser Jr. crashed again in 1986, and ran out of fuel in 1988. In 1991, Unser Jr. narrowly got beat out by Michael Andretti in the final two laps. In 1996, Unser Jr. blew his engine on the final lap, two corners short of victory.

Al Unser Jr. also started on the pole in a Can-Am race at Road America, but broke the transmission on the second lap.

Race summaries

CART PPG Indy Car World Series
1982: The first CART Indy car race at Road America saw a wild second half and a surprise winner. Mario Andretti and Bobby Rahal battled for the lead early in the first half. Andretti eventually pulled out to a 28-second lead until gearbox problems put him out on lap 29. Rahal took the lead on lap 30, and was leading when rain began to fall on lap 38. With Al Unser Sr. and rookie Héctor Rebaque in second and third, Rahal shockingly ran out of fuel on lap 45. Unser took the lead, but he too was low on fuel. Unser ran out of fuel on the final lap just after taking the white flag. Rebaque led the final lap and scored his first and only win in Indy car competition. Polesitter Rick Mears ran a steady fifth, and secured enough points to clinch the 1982 CART Championship.
1983: Josele Garza's car failed to crank on the grid due to a faulty kill switch. He joined the field dead last, and charged to fourth place by lap 38. In spectacular fashion, Garza passed Mario Andretti, Bobby Rahal, and Al Unser Jr. to take the lead on lap 40. Unser Jr. went to the grass as Garza passed him, causing Andretti and Rahal to take evasive action. Four laps later, however, Garza spun out, handing the lead to Rahal. For the second year in a row Rahal was in sight of victory, but ran low on fuel, this time dropping out on lap 47. Mario Andretti, despite clutch and gearbox issues, took the victory, his first in Indy car competition since 1981.
1984: Mario Andretti won the pole position, led 34 of the 50 laps, and dominated the race to win for the second consecutive year. Andretti's nearest competitors all suffered trouble, allowing Andretti to cruise to victory. Danny Sullivan suffered an engine fire, Bobby Rahal experienced fuel pickup problems, and Roberto Guerrero twice spun off course. Andretti won by a margin of over 1 minute and 14 seconds and the race went caution-free. Tom Sneva led the points standings going into the race, but blew an engine on lap 33. Andretti took over the points lead, and would go on to win the 1984 CART championship.
1985: Al Unser Jr. took the lead on lap 16 and was leading the race when rain started falling on lap 35. Unser Jr. was headed for the pits to put on rain tires, but lost control in the wet conditions and crashed in turn 13. Unser suffered a fractured ankle and wound up 17th. Jacques Villeneuve took the lead on lap 37, but moments later spun out in turn 5. He kept the engine running, and pulled away without losing the lead. Villeneuve led the final 14 laps to score his first and only Indy car win. It was the second time in four years a driver had scored their first career win at Road America. Substituting for the injured Mario Andretti, Alan Jones finished third, his one and only Indy car start.
1986: The race was scheduled for Sunday September 21. Morning rain made the track damp, but the race was started on time with all cars utilizing rain tires. Just seconds after the green flag fell, a huge downpour flooded the track and brought visibility down to near zero. Al Unser Jr. and Raul Boesel crashed in turn 11, Roberto Guerrero spun out, and Dominic Dobson hit a guardrail. Officials red flagged the race on lap 3, and postponed the resumption for Saturday October 4. After the two-week delay, the race picked up on lap 3. A light rain and cold temperatures made for difficult conditions. Of the 23 cars that restarted the race, 19 were involved in crashes or spins. Danny Sullivan was leading the race on lap 32 when he spun out in turn 5. Moments later, the yellow came out for a heavy rain shower. Eighth place runner Emerson Fittipaldi quickly ducked into the pits for fuel. As the rest of the field shuffled through pits stops during the yellow, Fittipaldi, Roberto Moreno, and Jacques Villeneuve, moved to the front of the field. Moreno and Villeneuve dueled for the lead until they collided on lap 44. Fittipaldi drove by to take the win, his first Indy car win on a road course. Michael Andretti charged on the final restart from sixth place, and tried to pass for the lead on the final lap, but Fittipaldi held him off by 0.33 seconds.
1987: Mario Andretti won the pole position and led all 50 laps en route to victory. It was Andretti's third win at Road America. Geoff Brabham finished second in the Judd AV machine, 41 seconds behind.
1988: Front row starters and Penske teammates Danny Sullivan and Rick Mears both ran out of fuel on the track, as did Al Unser Jr. later on, putting all three of those drivers out of contention. Emerson Fittipaldi dominated the race, and won over second place Bobby Rahal by 9 seconds. Third place finisher Mario Andretti ran out of fuel on the cool down lap.
1989: Michael Andretti led Danny Sullivan in the closing laps, but both cars were running low on fuel. With two laps to go, Sullivan ducked into the pits for a splash-and-go stop for fuel. Andretti stayed out and held a 7-second lead at the white flag. Sullivan charged to catch Andretti, while Andretti was desperately conserving fuel. As they approached the Kink on the final lap, Andretti suddenly ran out of fuel. Sullivan dove to the grass to make the pass for the lead, and took the victory.
1990: A. J. Foyt lost his brakes going into turn one on lap 26, and went off the course, crashing through an embankment and into a ravine. Foyt suffered serious injuries to his legs and feet, and would require months of rehabilitation. After a lengthy red flag, Danny Sullivan was the leader of the race, with Michael Andretti second, and Emerson Fittipaldi third. Suddenly, on lap 39 Sullivan's gearbox failed, putting Michael Andretti into the lead. Andretti held off Fittipaldi over the final ten laps to win for the first time at Road America.
1991: Michael Andretti held a 19-second lead over Al Unser Jr. with two laps to go. Andretti ducked into the pits for a splash-and-go stop for fuel, and shockingly came out of the pits just ahead of Unser who was flying down the frontstretch to catch him. The two cars were nose-to-tail with a lap and a half to go when a light rain shower doused the track. Unser's car got loose in the wet conditions, and he nearly spun out in the carousel. Unser backed off the fight and Andretti held on for the victory.
1992: Paul Tracy qualified for the pole position, his first career pole in Indy car racing, and the 100th Indy car pole position for Penske Racing, but suffered a huge crash moments later. The car went off course in turn 13, went airborne, then crashed head on into two guardrails. Tracy was unhurt. Emerson Fittipaldi led 41 of the 50 laps, but in the closing laps it was a three-car battle for the lead. Fittipaldi led Al Unser Jr. and Bobby Rahal across the finish line. The first three cars were separated by only 1.093 seconds.
1993: Paul Tracy won the pole position for the second year in a row, but again suffered a serious practice crash. Tracy raced with a sore ankle, a sore neck, and bruises on his legs and feet. Tracy led 49 of the 50 laps, and beat second place Nigel Mansell by 27 seconds.
1994: CART series rookie Jacques Villeneuve started on the front row and won his first career Indy car victory. Paul Tracy was leading his Penske teammate Al Unser Jr. and Villeneuve when a caution came out on lap 31. On the lap 36 restart, Villeneuve made a daring pass down to the inside to pass both Unser and Tracy going into turn one. Tracy bumped Villeneuve, and then Villeneuve and Unser touched, but all three cars raced away unscathed. Tracy blew his engine on lap 44, and Villeneuve drove to victory. Al Unser Jr.'s second-place finish was enough to clinch the 1994 CART championship.
1995: Jacques Villeneuve started from the pole and led 46 of the 50 laps for a dominating victory. A slippery track saw many cars go off-course, but no serious crashes. Villeneuve became the third driver to win back to back races at Road America.
1996: A wild race from start to finish. On the opening lap, polesitter Alex Zanardi touched wheels with Gil de Ferran in turn two. Zanardi slid into the grass, and de Ferran slid through a sand barrier. André Ribeiro was involved in two major incidents. On lap 14, he collided with Greg Moore, sending Moore hard into a concrete barrier, then sliding fast into a tire barrier. Six laps later, Ribeiro was battling Mark Blundell, the two cars bumped, and Maurício Gugelmin tried to pass them. He touched wheels with Gugelmin's car, and Gugelmin cut across and took out Blundell. Under a full-course yellow, Davy Jones lost control, hit a tire barrier, and the car flipped over. Parker Johnstone also went off course and flipped over. Al Unser Jr. was leading the race on the final lap when he blew his engine with two corners remaining. Michael Andretti inherited the win, holding off Bobby Rahal at the finish line.
1997: Heavy rain delayed the start by two hours, and soaked the track. At the start, Gualter Salles spun at the exit of turn one, and clipped wheels with Paul Tracy. Tracy's car spun and rammed into a tire barrier, landing upside-down. Mark Blundell led the race early with Alex Zanardi in second. On lap 36, Blundell and Zanardi pitted for fuel under a caution. Zanardi had the faster pit stop, and came out of the pits first to take the lead. Zanardi led the final 15 laps, with Blundell close behind until his engine blew with two laps to go.

CART FedEx Championship series
1998: Swift pit work during the second round of pit stops put Dario Franchitti in the lead on lap 30. Franchitti took the lead from polesitter Michael Andretti, and led the rest of the way. Andretti lost second place on the final lap when he blew a tire and crashed hard in turn 3. It was Franchitti's first career Indy car win, and the first win for car owner Barry Green since 1995. Bryan Herta narrowly escaped injury after spinning out on lap 10, and Alex Barron crashed and landed on top of his car.
1999: The race was lengthened from 50 to 55 laps. Juan Pablo Montoya led 46 laps, but suffered a broken gearbox with only seven laps to go. Christian Fittipaldi took the lead and won his first-career CART series race.
2000: Paul Tracy started seventh, but an electrical glitch shut the engine off on the first lap. He was able to get the engine restarted, but dropped to the tail end of the field. Without the benefit of a full course caution, Tracy remarkably charged back to the front of the field. Tracy took the lead on lap 38 after Alex Tagliani suffered a seized gearbox. Tracy ran out of fuel on the cool down lap and had to be towed to victory lane.
2001: Rain on Saturday and Sunday morning left the track drenched with standing water. Down the backstretch toward Canada Corner, a steady stream of runoff water was cascading over the track. The race was started as scheduled, but on lap 5 Max Wilson crashed over top of Bryan Herta. The red flag was put out on lap 14, and the race would be shortened to 45 laps due to the two-hour time limit. Michael Andretti attempted to pass Christian Fittipaldi for the lead in turn five with nine laps remaining, but the two cars collided and slid high. Bruno Junqueira slipped by both cars, and drove to victory - his first in the CART series. Memo Gidley survived a horrendous crash when his car hit one of the bridge abutments.
2002: The race distance was lengthened for the second time, to 60 laps (240 miles). Cristiano da Matta took the lead on lap 39 during a sequence of pit stops, and led to the finish. It was de Matta's sixth victory of the season, and broke a three-race slump. It served as an important turning point towards winning the 2002 CART championship.
2003: A dispute between the series officials and the promoters nearly cancelled the race. However, Mario Andretti stepped in as a mediator, and the race was reinstated. Rain delayed the race twice, including a two and a half hour red flag. Ultimately, the race was shortened from 60 laps to 34 laps due to darkness. Bruno Junqueira took the lead from the pole position and led all 34 laps to win. Only 19 laps were run under green flag conditions. Points leader Paul Tracy spun out on lap 11, and was unable to continue.

Champ Car World Series
2004: Alex Tagliani started 13th and gambled on track position by pitting under green early in the race. The gamble paid off as a caution came out on lap 12, allowing Tagliani to shuffle closer to the front of the field. A controversial restart on lap 14 saw race leader Sébastien Bourdais held up behind the pace car, allowing second place Paul Tracy to get the jump going into turn one. The two cars touched, causing a bent suspension on Bourdais' car. In the closing laps, Alex Tagliani passed Rodolfo Lavín to take the win, his first Champ Car victory. The race was shortened from 52 laps to 48 laps due to a 1:45 time limit.
2006: The race returned after a one-year absence. In the closing laps, Sébastien Bourdais was leading Bruno Junqueira and A. J. Allmendinger. Bourdais was looking to win the race and clinch his third straight Champ Car championship, but he needed one final pit stop. With 7 laps to go, Bourdais ducked into the pits, and came out on the track just ahead of Allmendinger. But going into turn five, Allmendinger made the pass for the lead and pulled away. Just moments later, Katherine Legge suffered a violent crash near the Kink. The car lost part of the rear wing, sending the car into a spin and to the concrete wall at about 180 mph. The car flipped into the catch fence, broke apart, then tumbled down the track. Legge was not seriously injured, but the race was red-flagged for 42 minutes to clean up the incident. The race resumed for a two-lap sprint to the finish. A. J. Allmendinger pulled away, and Bruno Junqueira came home second.
2007: After coming close three previous times, Sébastien Bourdais finally won at Road America. Bourdais had just announced he was departing Champ Car at the end of the season to join Scuderia Toro Rosso in Formula One for 2008. Bourdais led 51 of the 53 laps. His closest competitors Robert Doornbos and Will Power both suffered trouble, allowing Bourdais to overpower the field. It would end up being the final Champ Car race at Road America.
2008: The 2008 race was scheduled for August 10, but was cancelled in the wake of the open-wheel unification.

IndyCar Series
2016: After a hiatus of eight years, Road America returns to the open wheel schedule as part of the IndyCar Series. Will Power won the pole position, beating out Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan. Championship leader Simon Pagenaud qualified fourth. Dixon would drop out on lap 7 with engine failure. Power would lead most of the race, with Kanaan, Graham Rahal, and Pagenaud all battling for second. On lap 40, the only caution period came out after the rear suspension on Conor Daly's car failed, sending him off course and into the wall in turn one. On the restart on lap 44, Power held his lead, while Kanaan took second. Pagenaud dropped in the standings with a misfire, and Power held on to win.
2017: Hélio Castroneves started on the pole and took the lead at the start. Josef Newgarden took second position. The race saw some teams elect to use a four pit stop strategy, while others chose a three-stop strategy. After the first round of stops, Castroneves held a narrow lead over Newgarden, with Scott Dixon third. On lap 20, Newgarden passed Castroneves for the lead and began to pull away. Takuma Sato brought out the first yellow after a spin and contact in turn 11 on lap 29. On the ensuing restart, Dixon swung to the outside of Newgarden through turn 1 and grabbed the lead. Castroneves moved past Newgarden a few turns later. After the final round of pit stops, Dixon maintained his lead, while Newgarden was able to move past Castroneves to take back second. The second caution came after Tony Kanaan crashed in turn 11 after breaking his front wing in an attempt to pass Alexander Rossi. After one final restart, Dixon drove to victory, holding off Newgarden in second.
2018: Josef Newgarden started on the pole and led 53 of the 55 laps to victory. Though Newgarden dominated most of the race up front, the battle among the rest of the top five was heated all day. Ryan Hunter-Reay and Alexander Rossi took second and third at the start, battling much of the race, although Rossi would suffer a late tire puncture and a disappointing 16th-place finish. On the final round of pit stops, running third, Scott Dixon pitted on lap 42, while leader Newgarden and second place Hunter-Reay pitted a lap later on lap 43. Dixon on warmer tires went on a charge to try and catch the leaders while they pitted. The leaders managed to come out just ahead of Dixon, and a bobble by Dixon in turn 14, allowed them to hold off his challenge. Hunter-Reay finished second, and Dixon third.
2019: Rookie Colton Herta started on the pole, but Alexander Rossi grabbed the lead at the start. Rossi dominated the race, leading 54 of the 55 laps, and won by a commanding margin of 28.4391 seconds over second place Will Power. Rossi gave up the lead only once for one lap during his final pit stop. The race went caution-free with only one car dropping out, Marco Andretti, with mechanical problems. Polesitter Herta finished 8th.
2020 (Saturday): Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the race was rescheduled from June 21 to the weekend of July 11–12, and became a doubleheader. In the first race, polesitter Josef Newgarden led 25 of the first 27 laps, but stalled his engine during a pit stop on 28. He fell back and would finish 14th. Will Power inherited the lead on lap 30. A full-course caution on lap 38 brought Power to the pits, where he too suffered problems. Power's crew had trouble dropping the jack, which allowed Scott Dixon to take the lead. Dixon led the final sixteen laps, scoring his third straight IndyCar win to start the 2020 season.
2020 (Sunday): The second race of the doubleheader saw Patricio O'Ward start from the pole position. At the start, Will Power made contact with the back of Ryan Hunter-Reay's car, which sent Hunter-Reay spinning and crashing in turn one. Then in turn three, Power made contact side by side with Graham Rahal. Rahal lost control and spun to the grass, making hard contact with a concrete barrier. Then on lap 6, Power would spin out on his own in turn 13, bringing out the second of two yellows. Power recovered to finish 11th after placing second on Saturday. O'Ward dominated most of the race, leading 43 laps, and pulling out to as much as a 9-second lead at one point. O'Ward and Felix Rosenqvist were running 1st-2nd when they made the final pits stops on laps 41 and 43, respectively. O'Ward, running the alternate red tires, held about a 5-second lead with ten laps to go. Rosenqvist began closing the gap, as O'Ward's tires were beginning to go away. Rosenqvist caught O'Ward with two laps to go, and the two cars battled side by side into turn 6 on lap 54. Rosenqvist took the lead, and led the final two laps to score his first career IndyCar win.
2021: Josef Newgarden secured his second consecutive pole, achieving the unlikely feat of qualifying on pole with harder compound primary tires. Newgarden let Alex Palou, Colton Herta, and Will Power for most of the race before his gearbox gave out on the third to last lap, handing the victory to Palou.
2022: Alexander Rossi qualified on pole. After an early series of cautions Josef Newgarden beat Rossi off pit road in the first series of green flag pit stops. Newgarden would dominate the race from that point on, holding the lead despite some late cautions. Reigning Indianapolis 500 champion Marcus Ericsson took second while Rossi rounded out the podium.

Oh I think you're gonna like this one. When I whipped up my first batch of this magical cream it disappeared very, very quickly. In fact, I didn't even technically "whip it" as I don't have a mixer at the moment. I improvised and used my good old food processor. It worked great and I now have a new guilty pleasure – coconut milk whipped cream! I haven't been eating much dairy recently and was looking for an alternative for my desserts. Coconut has a natural sweetness to it, so no need to add loads of sugar either.
Perfect for desserts, as a side with some fruit, or on top of a smoothie! Ob-sessed!
Leave the can of coconut cream in the fridge overnight. This will allow the cream to solidify and separate from the water.
Discard the water (or save it for a smoothie!) and put the cream into the food processor.
Add the maple syrup and blend for a minute or two. That's it! Store in an airtight jar in the fridge.
Hi Mari! Great recipe. Where to buy coconut cream though? I can't seem to find them in grocery stores here in Manila. Thanks!


REMAN RECIO, Petitioner, v. HEIRS OF THE SPOUSES AGUEDO AND MARIA ALTAMIRANO, NAMELY: ALEJANDRO, ADELAIDA, CATALINA, ALFREDO, FRANCISCO, ALL SURNAMED ALTAMIRANO; VIOLETA ALTAMIRANO OLFATO, AND LORETA ALTAMIRANO VDA. DE MARALIT AND SPOUSES LAURO AND MARCELINA LAJARCA, Respondents.
This petition for review on certiorari1 under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court seeks to modify the Decision2 of the Court of Appeals (CA) dated November 29, 2007 in CA-G.R. CV No. 86001, affirming with modification the Decision3 dated August 23, 2005 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Lipa City, Branch 85 in Civil Case No. 97-0107. The petitioner asks this Court to reinstate in full the said RTC decision.
3. directing the defendants Altamiranos to execute a Deed of Absolute Sale in favor of plaintiff covering the parcel of land together with all improvements thereon situated at No. 39 10 de Julio Street (now Esteban Mayo Street), Lipa City, Batangas, containing an area of more or less Eighty[-]Nine Square Meters and Fifty Square Decimeters (89.50 sq. m) then covered by Transfer Certificate of Title No. T-102563 upon payment by said plaintiff of the balance of the purchase price in the amount of THREE HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND PESOS ([P]340,000.00).
4. directing the defendants Altamiranos and Lajarcas, jointly and severally, to pay plaintiff moral damages in the amount of [P]100,000.00, actual and compensatory damages in the amount of [P]100,000.00, [P]50,000.00 as exemplary damages and the sum of [P]50,000.00 as attorney's fees plus [P]2,500.00 for every hearing attended as and for appearance fees, and costs of suit.
Aggrieved, the Spouses Lajarca filed an appeal assailing the above RTC decision.
5) The damages awarded below to Reman Recio are AFFIRMED. No costs.
The CA, thereby, held that insofar as the verbal contract of sale between Alejandro and the petitioner is concerned, Alejandro's disposition affects only his pro indiviso share, such that the transferee (the petitioner) receives only what corresponds to Alejandro's undivided share in the subject lot. Likewise, the CA declared the deed of absolute sale between the Altamiranos and the Spouses Lajarca valid only insofar as the aliquot shares of the other Altamiranos are concerned. Thus, in effect, the petitioner and the Spouses Lajarca are co-owners of the subject property.
Not satisfied with the decision, the petitioner sought reconsideration but his motion was denied in the CA Resolution20 dated March 18, 2008.
The petitioner filed the instant petition alleging in the main that the CA gravely and seriously erred in modifying the RTC decision.
Under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court, jurisdiction is generally limited to the review of errors of law committed by the appellate court. The Supreme Court is not obliged to review all over again the evidence which the parties adduced in the court a quo. Of course, the general rule admits of exceptions, such as where the factual findings of the CA and the trial court are conflicting or contradictory.21 In the instant case, the findings of the trial court and its conclusion based on the said findings contradict those of the CA. After a careful review, the Court finds no reversible error with the decision of the CA.
At the core of the present petition is the validity of the verbal contract of sale between Alejandro and the petitioner; and the Deed of Absolute Sale between the Altamiranos and the Spouses Lajarca involving the subject property.
In the instant case, all these elements are present. The records disclose that the Altamiranos were the ones who offered to sell the property to Nena but the transaction did not push through due to the fault of the respondents. Thereafter, the petitioner renewed Nena's option to purchase the property to which Alejandro, as the representative of the Altamiranos verbally agreed. The determinate subject matter is Lot No. 3, which is covered under TCT No. T-102563 and located at No. 39 10 de Julio Street (now Esteban Mayo Street), Lipa City, Batangas.23 The price agreed for the sale of the property was Five Hundred Thousand Pesos (P500,000.00).24 It cannot be denied that the oral contract of sale entered into between the petitioner and Alejandro was valid.
However, the CA found that it was only Alejandro who agreed to the sale. There is no evidence to show that the other co-owners consented to Alejandro's sale transaction with the petitioner. Hence, for want of authority to sell Lot No. 3, the CA ruled that Alejandro only sold his aliquot share of the subject property to the petitioner.
Art. 1874. When a sale of a piece of land or any interest therein is through an agent, the authority of the latter shall be in writing; otherwise, the sale shall be void.
The petitioner's contentions are untenable. Given the expressed requirement under the Articles 1874 and 1878 of the Civil Code that there must be a written authority to sell an immovable property, the petitioner's arguments must fail. The petitioner asserts that since TCT No. T-102563 contained a notice of lis pendens, the Altamiranos very well knew of the earlier sale to him by Alejandro. While this may be true, it does not negate the fact that Alejandro did not have any SPA. It was a finding that need not be disturbed that Alejandro had no authority from his co-owners to sell the subject property.
Moreover, the fact that Alejandro allegedly represented a majority of the co-owners in the transaction with the Spouses Lajarca, is of no moment. The Court cannot just simply assume that Alejandro had the same authority when he transacted with the petitioner.
In Woodchild Holdings, Inc. v. Roxas Electric and Construction Company, Inc.28 the Court stated that "persons dealing with an assumed agency, whether the assumed agency be a general or special one, are bound at their peril, if they would hold the principal liable, to ascertain not only the fact of agency but also the nature and extent of authority, and in case either is controverted, the burden of proof is upon them to establish it."29 In other words, when the petitioner relied only on the words of respondent Alejandro without securing a copy of the SPA in favor of the latter, the petitioner is bound by the risk accompanying such trust on the mere assurance of Alejandro.
The same Woodchild case stressed that apparent authority based on estoppel can arise from the principal who knowingly permit the agent to hold himself out with authority and from the principal who clothe the agent with indicia of authority that would lead a reasonably prudent person to believe that he actually has such authority.30 Apparent authority of an agent arises only from "acts or conduct on the part of the principal and such acts or conduct of the principal must have been known and relied upon in good faith and as a result of the exercise of reasonable prudence by a third person as claimant and such must have produced a change of position to its detriment."31 In the instant case, the sale to the Spouses Lajarca and other transactions where Alejandro allegedly represented a considerable majority of the co-owners transpired after the sale to the petitioner; thus, the petitioner cannot rely upon these acts or conduct to believe that Alejandro had the same authority to negotiate for the sale of the subject property to him.
The instant case shows no evidence on record of specific acts which the Altamiranos made before the sale of the subject property to the petitioner, indicating that they fully knew of the representation of Alejandro. All that the petitioner relied upon were acts that happened after the sale to him. Absent the consent of Alejandro's co-owners, the Court holds that the sale between the other Altamiranos and the petitioner is null and void. But as held by the appellate court, the sale between the petitioner and Alejandro is valid insofar as the aliquot share of respondent Alejandro is concerned. Being a co-owner, Alejandro can validly and legally dispose of his share even without the consent of all the other co-heirs.33 Since the balance of the full price has not yet been paid, the amount paid shall represent as payment to his aliquot share. 34 This then leaves the sale of the lot of the Altamiranos to the Spouses Lajarca valid only insofar as their shares are concerned, exclusive of the aliquot part of Alejandro, as ruled by the CA. The Court finds no reversible error with the decision of the CA in all respects.
WHEREFORE, the petition is DENIED. The Decision of the Court of Appeals dated November 29, 2007 in CA-G.R. CV No. 86001 is AFFIRMED.

Die ehemalige Polizeikaserne Theodor-Heuss-Straße 149 steht in Mönchengladbach (Nordrhein-Westfalen) im Stadtteil Dahl.

Das Gebäude wurde 1938/39 erbaut und unter Nr. T 008a am 9. August 1988 in die Denkmalliste der Stadt Mönchengladbach eingetragen.

Nutzung

Die Planung des Gebäudes begann während der Zeit der Stadt Gladbach-Rheydt. Die Kaserne sollte im Zentrum der neuen Stadt liegen, sie wurde jedoch erst nach der 1933 erfolgten erneuten Trennung der Städte Rheydt und München-Gladbach im Jahr 1939 fertiggestellt und bezogen. Von 1946 bis zu dessen Umzug an die Krefelder Straße im Juli 2018 war das Gebäude Sitz des Polizeipräsidiums Mönchengladbach. Anschließend wurde es von der Polizeiwache Rheydt während der Renovierung ihres Gebäudes an der Vierhausstraße bis Anfang November 2019 genutzt. Mit der Rückkehr der Polizeiwache an die Vierhausstraße endete die Nutzung des Gebäudes Theodor-Heuss-Straße 149 durch die Polizei. Für die Nachnutzung des Geländes und der Gebäude, die sich im Besitz des Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetriebs Nordrhein-Westfalen befinden, sind die Hochschule Niederrhein und ein hochschulnahes Innovationszentrum in der Diskussion.

Architektur

Die einzelnen Gebäude der ehemaligen Polizeikaserne wurden in den Jahren 1938/39 erbaut. Der zweigeschossige Verwaltungsbau und die anderen eingeschossigen Gebäude sind mit schiefergedeckten Walmdächern versehen und in Ziegelbauweise ausgeführt. Eine verbindende überdachte Toranlage zum zurückgesetzten Werkstattbereich erschließt das Gesamtareal. Dem parallel zugeordnet steht eine Kraftfahrzeughalle. Ein Gewahrsamstrakt grenzt den Hof nach Westen ab. Die im Norden gelegene kammartig zum Sportplatz geöffnete Gebäudegruppe aus Turn- und Reithalle und verbindende Nebengebäude bildet einen stark akzentuierten Abschluss.

In seiner Substanz ungestört ist diese Anlage ein sehr anschauliches Beispiel einer Polizeikaserne der späten 1930er Jahre in ihrer nach Funktion und Bedeutung ablesbaren Unterscheidung.

I KNEW I should have taken that left toin at Albuquerque!
Here I sit, watching the afternoon thunderstorms (cells) build. Weatherdude says it's hit or miss and majorly depends on where exactly these thunderstorms (cells) occur as to whether I get home reasonably close to the (rescheduled) time.
Originally, I was on a flight to Salt Lake City and then to Washington. Flight was 35 minutes late leaving and Delta had given me only 50 minutes to connect. Guy at the gate was not certain I could make my connection and said they wouldn't keep the plane for me. So he rebooked me on AA through DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth). At least I'm familiar with that airport. I've never been through the SLC airport. And at least my connection time is longer, around 90 minutes. However, I now arrive at Dulles at midnight instead of 11pm. So it's harder on the Dude and Miss E to pick me up, but that's still the plan.
Wish me good connections from here on out.
What a way to end a workshop!
It'd be nice if a body could just teleport to where he/she wants to go.

LGBT Images on the Screen and Beyond
Filed By Mark Segal | July 15, 2013 11:30 AM | comments
Tags: Boys in the Band, Celluloid Closet, cinema, films, movies, Stonewall, tragedy, Vito Russo
Over a recent breakfast with Jason, our conversation took an interesting turn. He and I were discussing a fiction article he was writing where the major gay character dies at the end. I know, it's a spoiler, but I'm giving away the end since it makes a great point that recently hasn't seen much discussion in our community.
To Jason it was just another story, but I took deep offense at the main romantic character dying, and I actually began to get angry. All of a sudden I heard myself say, "Why do all the gay characters have to die, end up in jail, or be pitiful?"
I went on to explain that up until almost the 1990s, gay characters -- when they saw the light of day -- were always people to be pitied, from The Chalk Garden, where the "lesbian" kills herself, and Boys in the Band, where we're all self-loathing or stoned all the time, to Dog Day Afternoon, where Al Pacino plays a gay bank robber to get the funds to have a sex-change operation for his boyfriend, or Pacino's other delight, Cruising, which makes it seem as though the entire LGBT community is into whips, chains, and leather. Ah, but this was the beginning of enlightenment and he was in reality saving the gay community from a gay S&M serial killer.
Vito Russo wrote volumes about this stereotyping of our community on the silver screen, most notably in his legendary book The Celluloid Closet.
So we decided to watch a documentary called Making the Boys about the aforementioned Boys in the Band, the first-ever play written about the "real lives" of gay men, which made it to the off-Broadway stage in 1968 and later to the silver screen.
If you have not heard of or seen it and want to know more about your community and our history, it's a must.
The play opened a year before Stonewall, and it was a huge success since it was a first. When it opened, gay men were just thrilled to finally not be invisible, so they welcomed it. It was well-written and directed, but a new LGBT America and the new gay rights movement was about to take the stage at Stonewall. And overnight, the show was relabeled as a collection of self-loathing gay stereotypes, and got lumped in with The Chalk Garden as another oppressive work.
Watching the film gave me a new appreciation for those who brought it to the stage, and as one of those who protested it in New York City, I now understand that it was a step in the right direction; at least we weren't invisible and the next play about LGBT people could be produced and possibly be a better example.
I now wonder if Boys in the Band actually led the way in bringing the community out of the closet. Watching the documentary shows the viewer how far we have come.
Things are changing, and the best examples are the various LGBT film festivals around the nation where you see LGBT people crafting films about their community and culture. The point is, my generation has seen negative characters and then a disease devastate our community, while younger generations are beginning to feel the freedoms of the long march from oppression. Their vision is different from those of us who have fought to change media and society. And that means our work has been a success.
Not sure how the character in Jason's article will end up, but we both learned a lesson.

Presto to cost TTC millions more than current fare system
Despite previous assurances that it wouldn't result in additional costs, a new report says the TTC will spend millions of dollars more on fare collection each year by using the Presto smartcard instead of tickets, tokens and passes.
According to a TTC report published Friday that lays out a revised schedule for its conversion to Presto, the transit agency estimates its fare collection costs for this year will be $110.8 million.
By 2020, when the Presto system is fully implemented, that costs will rise about $9 million to $119.7 million.
In the intervening year, the fare collection costs will be even higher as the agency incurs "transitional costs" of operating parts of two different fare regimes at once. The TTC is planning for $19.5 million in transitional costs for 2019, which would bring its fare collection expenditures up to $130.3 million, almost $20 million higher than this year.
In an interview Friday, TTC chair Josh Colle argued that Metrolinx, the provincial organization that owns and operates Presto, should be responsible for any additional expenses associated with the fare card.
"We at the TTC clearly believe that we should not bear that cost, but that's part of an ongoing conversation" with Metrolinx, he said.
"We are partners, I recognize that. But we've got to make sure that these burdens are fairly shared."
The TTC and Metrolinx are already in talks over compensation for malfunctioning Presto readers. The TTC has said it believes it's owed $4.2 million for revenue foregone because of unreliable machines, while Metrolinx has countered the TTC actually owes it money for additional work the Toronto agency requested as part of the Presto program.
The TTC board agreed to adopt the fare card in 2011 under pressure from the provincial government, which made the allocation of gas tax proceeds to the city contingent on the deal.
At the time, a TTC report said the fees the agency would pay to Metrolinx to operate Presto "would be offset by other TTC fare collection operating savings and should result in no net increase to TTC's overall fare collection operating costs."
Asked to explain why Presto will actually be more expensive than the current system, TTC spokesperson Heather Brown said the increased expenditures under the fare card include "updated costing information" for maintenance on new Presto-enabled fare gates, and a station staffing model that "was not considered in 2011."
The TTC's biggest expense once the Presto system is fully in place will be the 5.25-per-cent fee it pays to Metrolinx on every fare card transaction. The fees are expected to rise to $56.6 million a year by 2020.
By that time, the TTC will be able to save $10.1 million a year by no longer producing older payment media, and $42 million a year by eliminating fare collector positions at subway stations, but it will still be required to staff stations with "customer service agents."
The customer service agents, who will help riders use Presto vending machines and give directions, will cost the TTC $35.6 million a year. That will wipe out most of the savings from eliminating the fare collectors and, combined with the Presto fees, be the main driver of the higher overall costs.
Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins said that despite being more expensive, Presto is still a "good deal" for TTC riders.
The fare card, which is also used by 10 other agencies in the province, allows for seamless travel between regions, she said, and enables features like the $1.50 discount on fares when transferring between GO Transit and the TTC, as well as the planned two-hour transfer policy being implemented on the Toronto network in August.
"I think when it's fully implemented, people will see the benefits of it," said Aikins.
As the Star reported Thursday, the TTC now doesn't expect to phase out old forms of payment like tickets and tokens until the end of 2019, at least two years later than previously planned. TTC board members have said Metrolinx is responsible for the delay, while the provincial agency says accommodating TTC requests for changes to the program have pushed deadlines back.
Under the updated timelines, the TTC will stop selling tickets and tokens in August 2019, and stop accepting them at the end of next year.
Conventional Metropasses will be phased out at the end of 2018. Riders can already load monthly passes on their Presto cards.

It's international week, but will there be some players out there wondering what might have been?
Following Jose Mourinho's instructions, Diego Costa has been left out of the Spain squad for their qualifier against Belarus and a subsequent friendly against Germany, but of course he very nearly never made it into that squad in the first place.
The Brazil-born forward actually played in two friendlies for the country of his birth before switching allegiance to Spain after being granted nationality in 2013, but he's far from being alone when it comes to having a choice over which country to play for.
Here are some other star names who were faced with a similar question.
Ryan Giggs could never have played for England.
Zinedine Zidane could never have played for Algeria.
Michael Owen could never have played for Wales.
Giggs was born in Cardiff to Welsh parents who then moved to Manchester, so he played for England's schoolboys simply because he went to school in England. The new rules on nationality which were brought in in 2009 would have allowed him to represent England, but of course he'd played plenty of times for Wales by then.
The opposite is true of Owen, who went to school in Wales despite being born just over the border in England, while the Marseille-born Zidane never even entertained the thought of playing for Algeria once he started playing in the France under-17 team.
After moving to England from Jamaica at the age of 12, winger John Barnes would go on to be one of the standout players in Britain in the 1980s and early '90s, wowing the crowds at both Watford and Liverpool.
After gaining his British passport, Barnes played 79 times for England, although he has revealed that he could have represented Scotland had they asked him to play for them first.
The Tartan Army will wonder what might have been!
Midfield enforcer Patrick Vieira was born in Senegal, but he moved to France with his family when he was eight and only returned to the country in 2003.
He'd been a world champion for five years by then, and he was established as one of the most powerful central midfielders of the modern era as he captained Arsenal and added the 2000 European Championships to his haul of medals.
Born in Opole, Poland, and the son of two professional athletes, Miroslav Klose's road to becoming the World Cup's all-time record goalscorer and a winner of the competition with Germany began when he moved to the country in 1986 aged eight.
Goals in his first Bundesliga season with Kaiserslautern in 2001 drew the attention of Poland, but he declined to play for them as he knew he'd have a better chance of success with Germany. Sure enough, coach Rudi Voller called him up that year and he sampled the first of his four World Cups 12 months later, achieving immortality at the tournament 12 years on from that.
The great joy of the 1998 French World Cup winning team was just how diverse they were, with their success seemingly uniting a country in elements where there had once been mistrust.
One of the great icons of that side was Marcel Desailly, who decided not to play for the country of both his parents' and his own birth, Ghana, to instead turn out for the nation he's called home since he was four.
He won 116 caps as well as the 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championships, despite being sent off in the final of the former.
When aged 21, Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano played six times for his native Argentina and scored six goals.
Ten years later, however, and after his move to Madrid, Di Stefano acquired Spanish citizenship and went on to turn out 31 times for his adopted country, scoring 23 times despite missing out on the 1958 World Cup in Sweden when Spain failed to qualify. He retired from internationals after helping Spain to the 1962 World Cup.
Born in Lagarto, Brazil, Diego Costa's robust playing style attracted the attention of Brazilian national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari in 2013, when he played in friendlies against Italy in Geneva and Russia in London.
However, later that same year Costa decided that he wanted to switch to the Spanish national team having gained nationality through his six years at Atletico Madrid, a decision which surprised many given that the World Cup in Brazil was on the horizon.
Costa made his Spain debut almost exactly a year after first turning out for Brazil, and although the then-holders endured a torrid World Cup, you can bet that the Chelsea forward will be at the forefront of any success they achieve in the near future.
Having been born in Brazil and played for the legendary Corinthians club, many were waiting for the creative midfielder Deco to break into the Brazilian national side in 2002, but the Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho generation had good enough players already, as proved when they won the World Cup in Japan and Korea.
He gained Portuguese citizenship a year later, having played in the country for six years, and he showed no hesitation in playing for the European side. Pleasingly for fans of irony, he scored on his debut in a friendly match against Brazil before going on to win 75 caps.
One of world football's great figures, Eusebio was born in Mozambique before moving to Lisbon as a teenager.
His prodigious football talent was already evident, and it wasn't long before he was called into the Portuguese national side for whom he scored 41 goals in 64 games and was also the top scorer at the 1966 World Cup in England.
He may have been a peripheral figure during Germany's World Cup win this summer, but Polish-born Lukas Podolski has managed an impressive 47 goals in 120 appearances for his national team.
The Arsenal forward was just two years old when his family emigrated from Poland to West Germany, where they were immediately given citizenship due to Podolski's grandparents being German nationals. The 29-year-old has claimed that the Polish federation only showed an interest in him after he'd started playing for Germany's youth sides, by which point his international future had been decided upon.
A divisive figure in world football, the Real Madrid defender Pepe was born in Brazil but was never selected for any of their youth levels after moving over to Portugal to further his club career.
He gained Portuguese citizenship in 2007 after six years at Maritimo and Porto, and in the same year he both made his Portuguese debut and earned a dream transfer to Madrid. He's been a fixture in both teams ever since.
Spain's Euro 2008 win kicked off their six-year cycle of success, and key to that victory was the calming nature of the naturalised Spaniard Marcos Senna in the centre of midfield.
Born in Brazil, Senna became a legend at Villarreal over 11 years at the club as he helped them reach the dizzying heights of the Champions League semi-finals. He gained Spanish citizenship in 2006 and was put straight into the national team ahead of the World Cup.
He played 28 times for Spain and was a key player as that 2008 success was secured in Austria and Switzerland.
Eagle-eyed scouts from Dinamo Zagreb took Eduardo da Silva to Croatia from Brazil in 1999, and he gained citizenship three years later.
Goals both at youth level and for Dinamo took him into the Croatian national side in 2004, and he stayed there for 10 years, scoring 29 goals in 64 appearances, with the severe broken leg he suffered while playing for Arsenal hindering his progress.
A World Cup winner with Italy in 2006, the midfielder Mauro Camoranesi carried dual citizenship having been born in Argentina.
When he joined Verona in 2000, that appeared to make his mind up about where his international future lay. A year after transferring to Juventus in 2002, he won the first of what would be 55 Italy caps over seven years, the most memorable coming when France were defeated on penalties to win the World Cup in Berlin eight years ago.
Another member of that Italian World Cup winning team to have been born outside of Italy was the midfielder Simone Perrotta, who came into the world in Ashton-under-Lyne, England in 1977.
The Perrottas moved back to Italy when Simone was four, and there was never any suggestion that he'd don the Three Lions after he made his Italy under-21 debut in 1998.
He won 48 caps for his country, and he started all seven of the games in that 2006 World Cup victory.
Born in Belgium, Manchester United's exciting youngster Adnan Januzaj nonetheless had plenty of choice when it came to determining his international future after he broke into the United team under David Moyes last season.
Albania, Turkey, Kosovo and even England all stated a claim to his prodigious talents, but he decided to go with the country of his birth and was called into the Belgian squad for the summer's World Cup, where he made one appearance.
Another talented Premier League teenager with an international choice to make was Liverpool's Raheem Sterling, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica, before emigrating to London with his mother when he was five.
After being educated at the Queens Park Rangers academy, he was snapped up by Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez when he was 15 and has never really looked back. He made his England senior debut in 2012 having risen through the youth ranks, and in the summer he was the only member of Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad who was born outside of England.

Human Rights Watch: Taliban arrested, executed security forces
03 Dec 2021, 21:48 GMT+10
The Taliban has executed dozens of members of the former government's security forces after the surrender of Afghanistan, Human Rights Watch said
Refuting claims the Taliban made to the international community about leading a more inclusive government, new research by HRW alleges the government executed dozens of members of the Afghan security forces after they surrendered in late summer
However, a Taliban deputy spokesman rejected the HRW report, saying that the Taliban established a general amnesty on their first day of power in Afghanistan
LONDON, England: The Taliban has executed dozens of members of the former government's security forces after the surrender of Afghanistan, Human Rights Watch said, as reported by CNN.
Refuting claims the Taliban made to the international community about leading a more inclusive government, new research by Human Rights Watch (HRW) alleges the government executed dozens of members of the Afghan security forces after they surrendered in late summer.
The HRW report detailed "the summary execution or enforced disappearance" of 47 former members of the Afghan National Security Forces, based on 67 interviews with witnesses, relatives and friends of victims, as well as Taliban fighters.
While the report focuses on Ghazni, Helmand, Kandahar, and Kunduz provinces, HRW said, "The cases reflect a broader pattern of abuses reported in Khost, Paktiya, Paktika, and other provinces."
However, a Taliban deputy spokesman rejected the HRW report, saying that the Taliban established a general amnesty on their first day of power in Afghanistan. "Based on that, all military and non-military personnel of the former government were forgiven and told they could live normally in Afghanistan, that no one could harm them," Bilal Karimi told CNN.
According to research by HRW, Taliban forces have killed or jailed more than 100 former security forces, along with their family members, during the three months since their takeover of the capital Kabul on August 15.
A man from Kandahar described to HRW what happened when the Taliban knocked on his door searching for his brother, who worked for the security offices.
"There was a knock on the door. The [Taliban] asked: 'Is [your brother] home?' I said no. 'Do not be scared, tell him, we want to talk to him.' I said no, he is not home. A couple of days later, they took my brother from the street. We looked everywhere. We went to the Taliban, who denied involvement. Two days later we found his body," the man told CNN.
One Taliban fighter described a former prison official who was allegedly executed after being called back to work in August.
"The commanders called him back to the job after a few days. They said, 'Your job is here, you know this job.' The prison has three gates. ['Muhammad'] crossed the first gate. He was shot dead between the second and the third gate."
"In the weeks before the Taliban overran Kabul, revenge killings, including the targeting of government officials, were already on the increase in major cities and along key highways," HRW reported.
HRW said the Taliban collected information as part of a so-called "amnesty program" that would guarantee the safety of surrendering security forces, but was used "to detain and summarily execute or forcibly disappear individuals within days of their registration, leaving their bodies for their relatives or communities to find."
HRW said that while Taliban officials have repeatedly denied their forces have carried out killings and disappearances, "Increasing evidence suggests that summary executions and disappearances, among other abuses, are being carried out by senior Taliban leadership at the district or provincial level."
Since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and subsequent Taliban takeover, there has been concern that long-persecuted ethnic and religious minorities, such as the minority Shia Hazara ethnic group, would be targeted, as they were under the previous Taliban rule.
Concerns are also growing that Afghanistan will become increasingly isolated from the world, and continue to strip away the rights of women, religious minorities, LGBTQ people and former officials.

Q: Getting UIMA Type System from CPE Descriptor How would I go about getting (or computing) the UIMA Type System from a CPE Descriptor XML file? I've had a look through the classes I'm using to load in the CPE Descriptor in Java, but can't see anything that will get me the Type System.
I know that the CAS has a getTypeSystem() function, but I need to get the Type System prior to running the CPE pipeline (i.e. before I have a CAS object).

A: Eventually figured out how to do it... and it's not pretty! Code below for anyone else who ends up in a similar situation.
CpeDescription cpeDesc = UIMAFramework.getXMLParser().parseCpeDescription(new XMLInputSource(cpeFile));
File rootFolder = new File(cpeDesc.getSourceUrl().getFile()).getParentFile();
ArrayList<TypeSystemDescription> typeSystems = new ArrayList<>();

for(CpeCollectionReader collReader : cpeDesc.getAllCollectionCollectionReaders()){
    File descFile = new File(rootFolder + System.getProperty("file.separator") + collReader.getDescriptor().getImport().getLocation());

    CollectionReaderDescription crd = UIMAFramework.getXMLParser().parseCollectionReaderDescription(new XMLInputSource(descFile));

    TypeSystemDescription typeSystem = crd.getCollectionReaderMetaData().getTypeSystem();
    typeSystem.resolveImports();

    typeSystems.add(typeSystem);
}

for(CpeCasProcessor casProcessor : cpeDesc.getCpeCasProcessors().getAllCpeCasProcessors()){
    File descFile = new File(rootFolder + System.getProperty("file.separator") + casProcessor.getCpeComponentDescriptor().getImport().getLocation());

    AnalysisEngineDescription aed = UIMAFramework.getXMLParser().parseAnalysisEngineDescription(new XMLInputSource(descFile));

    TypeSystemDescription typeSystem = aed.getAnalysisEngineMetaData().getTypeSystem();
    typeSystem.resolveImports();

    typeSystems.add(typeSystem);
}

TypeSystemDescription mergedTypeSystem = CasCreationUtils.mergeTypeSystems(typeSystems);

Note that this only considers Imports, and not Includes within the CPE Descriptor.

Alt-Nation: July Shows Keep Summer Cooking
by Marc Clarkin
Jodie Treloar – Voila (75orLess Records)
Jodie Treloar's debut EP Voila features five tunes on the crossroads of indie folk and alt-country. Voila opens with "Marionette," which reminds me of a stripped-down version of The Cranberries with the breezy guitar style and Treloar's rich vocals. "Credit Score" is a driving indie folk nugget propelled by some heavy punk rock acoustic strumming. "I'm OK" is probably the natural single here, thanks to the sweeping chorus and fancy guitar work. The EP closes with the bare bones "Lovelorn Lullaby" that ties an intimate bow on the EP. This is a recommended pickup for fans of the Ryan Adams and Sharon Van Etten brand of thrash.
Boo City/Cannibal Ramblers
This show features two of my favorite things in this world — live music and barbecue. It really doesn't take much more than that to get me to come to your function. Heck, the live music could be your drunken uncle shirtless on a ukulele that is missing three strings … as long as there are burgers, dogs, and sausage and peppers, I'll go. The added bonus of this show is that the live music will be better than your drunken uncle's. Unless your drunken uncle is Keith Richards or something. Boo City will provide the good time vibes with a repertoire that touches on everything from R&B to soul, reggae and even country. Cannibal Ramblers will blast the mother-load of psychedelic blues to get your ass shaking as well. Each band is doing two sets with chilling and grilling happening all night long. The show is free and will be outside with beachwear encouraged!
Boo City and Cannibal Ramblers will rock Nick-a-Nee's in Providence on July 18.
VulGarrity – Afterlife CD Release
The sinister siblings in VulGarrity are set to release their fourth album, Afterlife, at the end of the month. The first single, "Stygian Night," is available for the listen on the band's Facebook page and features VulGarrity's signature '80s post-punk disco with horror-themed lyrics about gathering in the darkness of the underworld. VulGarrity didn't become the first band in town to win two radio station Rock Hunts by sucking, so this figures to be a special night. All the bands on the bill will be releasing something at this show. There's no way of telling what they are releasing. Yes, it could be flatulence, but VulGarrity has never disappointed me with a show or a release to-date. That VulGarrity will be releasing Afterlife is reason enough to go, and you never know who your new favorite band will be 'til you see them!
Midday Records Release show featuring VulGarrity, Latin Metrics, Global Crash and From Below will take place at Firehouse 13th on July 25.
The Paraplegics – Back on Their Feet CD Release show (aka FU132)
The Paraplegics celebrate 13 years of tasteless humor, bad decisions and cranked-up punk rock. The Paraplegics are also releasing a new CD, Back on Their Feet, which industry sources have speculated could be the boys' commercial break-thru on the pop-country charts. The boys have managed to assemble some prime-time players for this show, including a resurrected Bender X, pub-punk kings The McGunks, and those Death Hawk rocking mofos in The Vaporubs. Despite the predictions of a leap across the river Styx in commercial superstardom, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Back on Their Feet will be a collection of crass minute-and-a-half rockers that will offend about 47% of the population in some manner. You know, the same punk rock jewels that The Paraplegics always deliver.
The Paraplegics celebrate the release of their new CD, Back on Their Feet, with a show also featuring performances by Bender X, The Defectives, The McGunks and The Vaporubs at Firehouse 13 on July 31.
RI Pop Punk Covers Night – Senior Discount turns 11!
For some reason we are doing a lot of band birthday shows this month and why not? July is good for birthdays. I celebrate my birthday in July and know who else does? America. Senior Discount understand this and have put together a show that pays homage to many of the pop-punks of the '90s that inspired the band in the first place. The idea for the show started as a way to introduce new people into the local music scene. Senior Discount's Chuck Staton explains, "I just think there's a lot of people that need that initial invite into the scene. I'm trying to come up with a bridge of getting people to come out. We really feel strongly that this could be a positive thing for new, young people who don't have a lot of (or ANY) exposure to local music to experience it."
The breakdown for the show is Senior Discount will be doing a set of Blink 182 covers. Soundoff will be doing a set of Green Day tunes. Rob from The Pogs and John from Bad Larry will be doing a set of Goldfinger tunes. It all goes down at the Met Café on July 31.

UK Financial Services: Passporting into the EU
Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 28th February 2017.
Stephen Timms Labour, East Ham 12:00 am, 28th February 2017
What options he is discussing with the City of London to secure passporting for UK financial services into the EU.
Link to this speech In context Individually
(Citation: HC Deb, 28 February 2017, c153)
Simon Kirby The Economic Secretary to the Treasury
We are ambitious for a deal, and it is clear that it is in the interests of both sides to maintain reciprocal market access. The important thing, however, is the end result, rather than the mechanism.
Stephen Timms Labour, East Ham
A lot of jobs in the UK depend on EU banking passports. For example, US banks can locate subsidiaries in the UK and then trade freely across Europe. In the Minister's view, what are the prospects for keeping all those jobs in the UK after Brexit?
We want to ensure that British companies have the maximum freedom to trade and operate within European markets, and financial services are one of the areas in which we will be seeking a bold, ambitious agreement.
Alan Mak Conservative, Havant
As the Minister continues his discussions on passporting, will he ensure that he maintains a dialogue with business associations and trade bodies such as TheCityUK, to ensure that we get the best possible settlement?
I can reassure my hon. Friend that the Treasury is very much in listening mode. We definitely want the best possible deal and we are clear that it is the end result, rather than the mechanism, that is important.


Aloha, my fellow Oscar aficionados!
Trailers (at last!) dropped for Oscar contenders I, Tonya and Phantom Thread.
The Gotham Awards bestowed heaps of love upon Call Me By Your Name, The Florida Project, Get Out, I, Tonya and Lady Bird with its nominations.
Woody Allen's Wonder Wheel premiered to a so-so reception over at the New York Film Festival. With Best Actress probably too crowded for Kate Winslet to make the cut, is the film's only real Oscar prayer now in Best Cinematography?
The Weinstein Company pushed The Current War back to 2018 (not that early reviews for the Benedict Cumberbatch pic were so hot to begin with).
Not that either film was poised for much Oscar success but dismal box office receipts (despite warm reviews) certainly won't be helping the awards season hopes of Marshall and Professor Marston and the Wonder Women.
George Clooney's wannabe-awards season contender Suburbicon? Yeesh.
Oh, and if you had Kevin Spacey in your Best Supporting Actor predictions for All the Money in the World...probably time to ditch him.
Please see below my latest set of Oscar predictions, for the month of November. In parentheses you will find how many slots a contender has moved up or down since my last rankings. In a number of cases, I have dropped a film or performer entirely.

The snow covered the Fredriksten Fortress in Halden today, located near the Swedish border, and is home to dramatic Norwegian military history. From towers on the hill we got a wonderful overview over the centre of Halden. At this seventeenth century fortress we learned about culture and history, especially that the fortress never been conquered.

The Let's Live Festival by Bianca Willis, is the founder of an organization called Learning to Live. Her inspiration comes from giving young people experiences outside their everyday environment to learn culture and have experiences that they typically do not have. She is currently working towards sending a group of children to Costa Rica to learn a new way of life. The Learning to Live movement is just beginning as it grows to send thousands of youth to new places all before their 18th birthday.
