Beijing Statement of Principles of the Independence of the Judiciary in the LAWASIA Region
Beijing, 19 August 1995
Preamble to Statement of Principles of the Independence of the Judiciary
Whereas the Charter of the United Nations the peoples of the world affirm, inter alia, their determination to establish conditions under which justice can be maintained to achieve international cooperation in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms without any discrimination;
Whereas the Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrines in particular the principles of equality before the law, of the presumption of innocence and of the right to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by the law;
Whereas the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights both guarantee the exercise of those rights, and in addition the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights further guarantees the right to be tried without undue delay;
Whereas the organisation and administration of justice in every country should be inspired by those principles, and efforts should be undertaken to translate them fully into reality;
Whereas rules concerning the exercise of judicial office should aim at enabling judges to act in accordance with those principles;
Whereas the 6th United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders, by its resolution 16, called upon the Committee on Crime Prevention and Control to include among its priorities the elaboration
of guidelines relating to the independence of judges and the selection, professional training and status of judges and prosecutors;
Whereas the 7th United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders, at its meeting in Milan, Italy, from 26 August to 6 September 1985, adopted the Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary by consensus;
Whereas the 7th United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders recommended the Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary for national, regional and interregional action and implementation, taking into account the political, economic, social and cultural circumstances and traditions of each country;
Whereas on 17-18 July 1982 the LAWASIA Human Rights Standing Committee met in Tokyo, Japan and in consultation with members of the judiciary formulated a Statement of Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary in the LAWASIA Region ("the Tokyo Principles") in the context of the history and culture of the region;
Whereas the 5th Conference of Chief Justices of Asia and the Pacific at Colombo, Sri Lanka on 13-15 September 1993 recognised that it was desirable to revise the Tokyo Principles in the light of subsequent developments with a view to adopting a clear statement of principles of the independence of the judiciary, and considered a first draft of a Revised Statement of Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary and requested the Acting Chairman of the Judicial Section of LAWASIA to prepare a second draft of the Revised Statement taking into account the views expressed at the 5th Conference of the Chief Justices and comments and suggestions to be made by the Chief Justices or their representatives; and
Noting that the 6th Conference of Chief Justices of Asia and the Pacific was held in Beijing in conjunction with the 14th LAWASIA Biennial, the primary object of which is:
"To promote the administration of justice, the protection of human rights and the maintenance of the rule of law within the region."
The 6th Conference of the Chief Justices of Asia and the Pacific:
Adopts the Statement of Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary contained in the annex to this resolution to be known as the Beijing Statement of Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary in the LAWASIA Region.
(As Amended at Manila, 28 August 1997)
INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY
1. The Judiciary is an institution of the highest value in every society.
2. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Art. 10) and the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Art. 14(1)) proclaim that everyone should be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law. An independent judiciary is indispensable to the implementation of this right.
3. Independence of the Judiciary requires that;
a) The judiciary shall decide matters before it in accordance with its impartial assessment of the facts and its understanding of the law without improper influences, direct or indirect, from any source; and
b) The judiciary has jurisdiction, directly or by way of review, over all issues of a justiciable nature.
4. The maintenance of the independence of the judiciary is essential to the attainment of its objectives and the proper performance of its functions in a free society observing the rule of law. It is essential that such independence be
guaranteed by the State and enshrined in the Constitution or the law.
5. It is the duty of the judiciary to respect and observe the proper objectives and functions of the other institutions of government. It is the duty of those institutions to respect and observe the proper objectives and functions of the judiciary.
6. In the decision-making process, any hierarchical organisation of the judiciary and any difference in grade or rank shall in no way interfere with the duty of the judge exercising jurisdiction individually or judges acting collectively to pronounce judgement in accordance with Article 3(a). The judiciary, on its part, individually and collectively, shall exercise its functions in accordance with the Constitution and the law.
7. Judges shall uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary by avoiding impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all their activities.
8. To the extent consistent with their duties as members of the judiciary, judges, like other citizens, are entitled to freedom of expression, belief, association and assembly.
9. Judges shall be free, subject to any applicable law, to form and join an association of judges to represent their interests and promote their professional training and to take such other action to protect their independence as may be appropriate.
OBJECTIVES OF THE JUDICIARY
10. The objectives and functions of the judiciary include the following:
a) To ensure that all persons are able to live securely under the rule of law;
b) To promote, within the proper limits of the judicial function, the observance and the attainment of human rights; and
c) To administer the law impartially among person and between persons and the State.
11. To enable the judiciary to achieve its objectives and perform its functions, it is essential that judges be chosen on the basis of proven competence, integrity and independence.
12.The mode of appointment of judges must be such as will ensure the appointment of persons who are best qualified for judicial office. It must provide safeguards against improper influences being taken into account so that only persons of competence, integrity and independence are appointed.
13. In the selection of judges there must no discrimination against a person on the basis of race, colour, gender, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, marital status, sexual orientation, property, birth or status, expect that a requirement that a candidate for judicial office must be a
national of the country concerned shall not be considered discriminatory.
14. The structure of the legal profession, and the sources from which judges are drawn within the legal profession, differ in different societies. In some societies, the judiciary is a career service; in others, judges are chosen from the practising profession. Therefore, it is accepted that in different societies, difference procedures and safeguards may be adopted to ensure the proper appointment of judges.
15. In some societies, the appointment of judges, by, with the consent of, or after consultation with a Judicial Services Commission has been seen as a means of ensuring that those chosen judges are appropriate for the purpose. Where a Judicial Services Commission is adopted, it should include representatives the higher Judiciary and the independent legal profession as a means of ensuring that judicial competence, integrity and independence are maintained.
16. In the absence of a Judicial Services Commission, the procedures for appointment of judges should be clearly defined and formalised and information about them should be available to the public.
17. Promotion of judges must be based on an objective assessment of factors such as competence, integrity, independence and experience.
18. Judges must have security of tenure.
19. It is recognised that, in some countries, the tenure of judges is subject to confirmation from time to time by vote of the people or other formal procedures.
20. However, it is recommended that all judges exercising the same jurisdiction be appointed for a period to expire upon the attainment of a particular age.
21. A judge's tenure must not be altered to the disadvantage of the judge during his or her term of office.
22. Judges should be subject to removal from office only for proved incapacity, conviction of a crime, or conduct that makes the judge unfit to be a judge.
23. It is recognised that, by reason of differences in history and culture, the procedures adopted for the removal of judges may differ in different societies.
Removal by parliamentary procedures has traditionally been adopted in some societies. In other societies, that procedure is unsuitable; it is not appropriate for dealing with some grounds for removal; it is rarely, if ever, used; and its use other than for the most serious of reasons is apt to lead to misuse.
24. Where parliamentary procedures or procedures for the removal of a judge
by vote of the people do not apply, procedures for the removal of judges must be under the control of the judiciary.
25. Where parliamentary procedures of procedures for the removal of a judge by vote of the people do not apply and it is proposed to take steps to secure the removal of a judge, there should, in the first instance, be an examination of the reasons suggested for the removal, for the purpose of determining whether formal proceedings should be commenced only if
the preliminary examination indicates that there are adequate reasons for taking them.
26. In any event, the judge who is sought to be removed must have the right to a fair hearing.
27. All disciplinary, suspension or removal proceedings must be determined in accordance with established standards of judicial conduct.
28. Judgements in disciplinary proceedings, whether held in camera or in public, should be published.
29. The abolition of the court of which a judge is a member must not be accepted as a reason or an occasion for the removal of a judge. Where a court is abolished or restructured, all existing members of the court must be reappointed to its replacement or appointed to another judicial office of equivalent status and tenure. Members of the court for whom no alternative position can be found must be fully compensated.
30. Judges must not be transferred by the Executive from one jurisdiction or function to another without their consent, but when a transfer is in pursuance of a uniform policy formulated by the Executive after due consultation with the judiciary, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by an individual judge.
JUDICIAL CONDITIONS
31. Judges must receive adequate remuneration and be given appropriate terms and conditions of service. The remuneration and conditions of service
of judges should not be altered to their disadvantage during their term of office, except as part of a uniform public economic measure to which the judges of a relevant court, or a majority of them, have agreed.
32. Without prejudice to any disciplinary procedure or to any right of appeal or to compensation from the State in accordance with national law, judges should enjoy personal immunity from civil suits for monetary damages for
improper acts or omissions in the exercise of their judicial functions.
33. The judiciary must have jurisdiction over all issues of a justiciable nature and exclusive authority to decide whether an issue submitted for its decision is within its competence as defined by law.
34. The jurisdiction of the highest court in a society should not be limited or restricted without the consent of the members of the court.
35. The assignment of cases to judges is a matter of judicial administration over which ultimate control must belong to the chief judicial officer of the relevant court.
36. The principal responsibility for court administration, including appointment, supervision and disciplinary control of administrative personnel and support staff must vest in the judiciary, or in a body in which the judiciary is represented and has an effective role.
37. The budget of the courts should be prepared by the courts or a competent authority in collaboration with the courts having regard to the needs of the independence of the judiciary and its administration. The amount allotted should be sufficient to enable each court to function without an excessive workload.
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EXECUTIVE
38. Executive powers which may affect judges in their office, their remuneration or conditions or their resources, must not be used so as to threaten or bring pressure upon a particular judge or judges.
39. Inducements or benefits should not be offered to or accepted by judges if they affect, or might affect, the performance of their judicial functions.
40. The Executive authorities must at all times ensure the security and physical protection of judges and their families.
41. It is essential that judges be provided with the resources necessary to enable them to perform their functions.
42. Where economic constraints make it difficult to allocate to the court system facilities and resources which judges consider adequate to enable them to perform their functions, the essential maintenance of the rule of law and the protection of human rights nevertheless require that the needs of the judiciary and the court system be accorded a high level of priority in the allocation of resources.
43. Some derogations from independence of the judiciary may be permitted in times of grave public emergency which threaten the life of the society but only for the period of time strictly required by the exigencies of the situation and under conditions prescribed by law, only to the extent strictly consistent with internationally recognised minimum standards and subject to review by the courts. In such times of emergency, the State shall endeavour to provide that civilians charged with criminal offences of any kind shall be tried by ordinary civilian courts and detention of person administratively without charge shall be subject to review by courts of other independent authority by way of habeus corpus or similar procedures.
44. The jurisdiction of military tribunals must be confined to military offences. There must always be a right of appeal from such tribunals to a legally qualified appellate court of tribunals to a legally qualified appellate court or tribunal or other remedy by way of an application for annulment.
It is the conclusion of the Chief Justices and other judges of Asia and Pacific listed below that these represent the minimum standards necessary to be observed in order to maintain the independence and effective functioning of the judiciary.

THE OPINION OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF JAPAN
Concerning "Beijing Statement of Principles of the Independence of the Judiciary in the LAWASIA Region"
The independence in exercising the judicial function is firmly guaranteed to all the judges in Japan by the Constitution along with their compensation and status. This constitutional guarantee turns it unnecessary for the judges to make efforts to improve their working and economic conditions unlike workers in other professions, standing on an equal footing with their employers, who need to demand improvement against them. There are, therefore, no rights for the judges to form or join a labour union.
On the other hand, regarding the question of whether or not the judges are able to "form and join an association of judges to represent their interests and promote their professional training and to take such other action to protect their independence as may be appropriate" other than a labour union, it is understood as follows. The judges are especially required to be politically neutral to perform their duties, and it is also demanded that not only trial and judgement should be fair but also attitudes of judges must be relied on to be fair by the general public. Because of these conditions, the judges are not permitted to form or join an association that takes on a political coloration and arouses people's suspicion about fairness. And it may cause danger of raising a doubt about political neutrality that the judges, who are firmly guaranteed their status and independence as mentioned before and enjoy their, so to speak, special status, "form and join an association of judges to represent their interests and promote their professional training and to take such other action to protect their independence as may be appropriate." To take into consideration the abovementioned factors, it is understood that there are some cases where those actions are deemed undesirable.
On the basis of the understanding that Article 9 of the Statement is not contrary to the law and system that are mentioned above, I express my agreement to "BEIJING STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY IN THE LAWASIA REGION."

How Aggregate Displays Change User Behavior
A fascinating study demonstrates how simply displaying aggregate data like Top 10 lists heavily influences the way people make decisions on social web sites.
Aggregate displays are everywhere, from the book ratings at Amazon.com to the most-emailed articles at the New York Times to the number of diggs at Digg.com. They're a primary element of social design. They not only let people know how their actions relate to others, but they also alter the behavior of those who view them.
Columbia sociology professor Duncan Watts has written the fascinating piece Is Justin Timberlake the product of Cumulative Advantage?, describing a sociology experiment that has huge implications for the display of aggregate data on social web sites. (thankfully, the article isn't about Justin Timberlake at all. The author doesn't even mention his name…probably titled by an editor at the Times)
Description of the Experiment
Watt's study demonstrates how socially influenced we are as we use software and make decisions online. He describes an experiment in which they built two web sites. In one web site they showed a list of songs to users and had the users rate the songs as they listened to them, allowing the users to download the songs if they wanted to. In the other, they also allowed the users to rate and download the songs but they also showed the download numbers to the users. In the second group the users could see how often the songs had been downloaded as they used the site. The difference was in the display: users either saw the aggregate display of downloads (called the social influence group) or they did not (called the independent group).
In addition, they split up the social influence group into 8 parts. They replicated the same test 8 times to see if there were any differences over time.
Watts describes how the download numbers could be used to test:
"This setup let us test the possibility of prediction in two very direct ways. First, if people know what they like regardless of what they think other people like, the most successful songs should draw about the same amount of the total market share in both the independent and social-influence conditions — that is, hits shouldn't be any bigger just because the people downloading them know what other people downloaded. And second, the very same songs — the "best" ones — should become hits in all social-influence worlds."
In other words, the mere fact that users can see the downloads is being tested. A simple display difference. A design decision.
Does Seeing Aggregate Data Change Behavior?
Does displaying aggregate download data change the behavior of users? The answer is Yes. Their findings:
The most popular songs in the social influence group were way more popular than those in the independent group. In other words, the rich got richer when people could see the aggregate data.
The popular songs in the 8 social influence groups were not the same! That is, the download numbers affected the popularity of the songs. Early download leaders continued to lead not just because they were good songs, but because they were already leading.
The independent group was considered the test for quality. The songs that were most downloaded were considered the highest quality because everybody voted independently…there was no social influence since download numbers were not displayed. These songs did correlate slightly with the songs in the social influence group that did well, but did not have much of an effect overall.
The social influence group was influenced much more by the number of downloads than by the quality of the songs. The social influence had a stronger effect on the song downloads than independent, unbiased decision making.
This result could be seen as a confirmation of the bandwagon effect, a known bias resulting from our tendency to follow the crowd. This bias is probably the result of ignorance…if we don't know something we tend to rely on the opinion of others. In this case users probably paid attention to the download numbers because they didn't have any prior experience with the music.
Outcome is Unpredictable
One outcome is that predicting what will happen in social influenced situations is impossible. Watts explains:
"In our artificial market, therefore, social influence played as large a role in determining the market share of successful songs as differences in quality. It's a simple result to state, but it has a surprisingly deep consequence. Because the long-run success of a song depends so sensitively on the decisions of a few early-arriving individuals, whose choices are subsequently amplified and eventually locked in by the cumulative-advantage process, and because the particular individuals who play this important role are chosen randomly and may make different decisions from one moment to the next, the resulting unpredictably is inherent to the nature of the market."
In other words, early leaders tend to stay in the lead simply because people see they are leading and are influenced by it. If a song gets an early lead then people assume it is because of quality, but the case may simply be that it happened to be one of the first listened to.
Huge Implications for Social Site Design
This result has huge implications for all social web sites, especially those that show aggregate data. Digg, for example, shows aggregate data everywhere on the site. This experiment, in addition to several other issues that I wrote about in Digg's Design Dilemma, suggest that the results there are socially influenced to such an extent that it would be hard indeed to know where the quality lies…
It also leads to interesting questions for those building social sites. What data do we aggregate? What should we display? Where? What influence will it have on the future behavior of those who see it? Does it influence the quality of content? How so?….etc…etc…
Another level of complexity can be added on top of this. What if the users knew more about the download numbers? For example, what if a user knew their best friend hated one of these songs? Of course that's going to affect our decision as well, and maybe moreso, because the user trusts their friends more than a simple download number.
A Note of Caution
Finally, a note of caution. Over at Publishing 2.0 Scott Karp extrapolates this finding further, suggesting (somewhat tongue-in-cheek) that it explains other phenomena like Web 2.0 and the blogging A-List. He wonders if the A-List is just riding a wave of initial popularity.
We should be careful to push this that far, however, because some things that Karp mentions happen over a lot longer a period of time and have many other factors involved. The A-Listers, for example, drop like a rock if they don't continue to post and get linked to. They quickly lose their advantage in the face of low post output and other changes over time. In the study Watts tested the ratings for song preferences. Songs, of course, don't change over time. My guess is that the result will apply relatively well to things that don't change…songs, movies, texts…and less to things that don't.
If Watt's experiment is solid, however, it should help inform anybody building a social web site. If people are unduly influenced by aggregate data, then we cannot make any assumptions about the quality of it. In other words, much of the success in social systems is based on that most horrible of reasons…luck.

Michael Jordan Pledges $100m To Organisations Fighting For Racial Equality
Michael Jordan, a former basketball player, says he and his brand would be giving $100 million to organisations dedicated to promoting racial equality and social justice.
The 57-year-old NBA legend spoke on his commitment to the black community in a joint statement on Friday.
He said he and his Jordan Brand, a shoe-and-apparel division of Nike, would donate the sum over the next 10 years with the aim of "ensuring racial equality, social justice and greater access to education".
"The Jordan Brand is us, the black community. Jordan Brand is more than one man. It has always been a family," read the statement.
"We represent a proud family that has overcome obstacles, fought against discrimination in communities worldwide, and that works every day to erase the stain of racism and injustice.
"The will, the work, the excellence the world has come to know is the result of one generation after another, pouring their dreams into the next. Black lives matter. This isn't a controversial statement.
"Until the ingrained racism that allows our country's institutions to take is completely eradicated, we will remain committed to protecting and improving the lives of black people.
"We announce that Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand will donate $100 million over the next 10 years to organizations dedicated to ensuring racial equality, social justice, and access to education."
George Floyd, a black American, died on May 25, after being pinned down by the neck for nearly nine minutes by Derek Chauvin, a Minnesota police officer, during an arrest.
Amid the protests that ensued, about 25 cities across the country had been under curfew after citizens took to the streets while celebrities spoke against racism and white privilege in the US.
Jordan's gesture comes after Kanye West had set up a college fund for the daughter of George Floyd while also donating $2 million to charities associated with Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.

Principles of business Law
The legal systems of the UK are footed on the common law. In 1998, some devolution of legislation was carried out and due to that process, some of the legislative authorities have been delegated to the Scottish Parliament and some more restricted delegation of power were given to the Northern Ireland and Welsh Assemblies.
In UK, the legal profession is bifurcated into barristers and Solicitors. Nonetheless, under contemporary legislation, barristers and solicitors no longer enjoy a full control in respect of an area of practice in their own provinces. Thus, for instance, a solicitor who holds an advocacy certificate can still enjoy the privilege of the audience in the superior courts. (224).
At the start of 1200 in UK, a group of professional pleaders or advocates started to emerge, as some pleaders obtained familiarity of ever increasing intricate structures of procedures, which were materiliasing in Kings Courts and their services were availed by litigants. At that time, legal proceedings were held orally, and they were carried out in Norman –French and hence the advocates were supposedly originated from the upper class of French speaking society. In 1275, a provision was introduced in the statute of Westminster that those lawyers who were found guilty of deceit should be punished. The Cit y of London, in 1280, enacted rules for the oath administration to the newly –enrolled practitioners, and for maintaining three separate types of legal function namely the attorney who acts and represents on behalf of his client, the pleader which is similar to an advocate and a function which is closer to that of the solicitor and essoiner, who will plead a formal excuse if the party fails to appear in court.
At the close of the 15th century, a well settled procedure of legal training had evolved, under which the aiming pleader would take training in an Inn of Chancery and will acquire his experience in the law by observing

I was going to list off things that happened the year I was born or events of this date in history. I did a little searching and discovered Apple was founded April, 1 1976 and Google was born September 27, 1998. But beyond learning that and a couple other interesting facts, I decided it wasn't worth the effort.
I've been thinking about where I am now and where I expected to be at this point. I can't say that I'm exactly where I wanted to be. Mostly it's the job. I thought I'd be a writer, an astronaut, or possibly doing something with animals – not sitting behind a desk 10 hours a day. I would have liked to travel more by this point, taken more risks, feel that I had more interesting stories to tell and hidden knowledge to share. At the same time, I don't think I'd do anything differently were I given the opportunity. I love Ari and Simeon and can't wait to see how my family grows. I enjoy spending time with my friends and, after a reading a few birthday wishes and seeing people last night, know that I'm lucky to have them in my life. I'm willing to take some risks, but not if that means missing out on family and friends.
So, here's to the future and whatever is to come. I look forward to the next 30 years and the 30 beyond that. And most of all, I look forward to spending it with family and friends – past, present and future.


This great family home includes 3 bedrooms all with built ins, bathroom with bath tub, second living area, in-ground pool, air con, polished timber floorboards, 2 outdoor covered entertaining areas, single lock-up garage & established gardens. Pets on application. A must to inspect!

Public forum on Susquehanna rail bridge replacement scheduled for March 26
| The Record |
Members of the public will have the opportunity next week during a community forum at the Havre de Grace Community Center to learn the latest developments in the ongoing project to replace Amtrak's aging Susquehanna River Rail Bridge, plus talk with members of the project team, officials from Cecil and Harford counties and members of a regional advisory board working with the project team,
The forum will be March 26 from 6 p.m. to 9 at the community center at 100 Lagaret Lane, City Councilman Steve Gamatoria announced during a council meeting Monday.
Gamatoria and his fellow members of the eight-person Susquehanna River Rail Bridge Project Advisory Board will participate in the forum, along with representatives of Amtrak and the MARC commuter rail service.
He said the event is designed "to give everybody an opportunity to hear what is to come, some of the thoughts put into it and also for [community] input."
Volney Ford, chairman of the advisory board, said Tuesday the event will be "operated like an open house."
Ford, who is also the head of the Havre de Grace Planning Commission, said members of the public can go in and out at any time during the forum. Attendees will be able to interact with members of the advisory board and project team in small groups or one-on-one.
"It's going to be an interaction between the elected officials and our board and the Planning Commission, so we can basically share ideas," he explained.
Ford said officials want to "draw ideas and recommendations" for the project from public comments.
"It is also intended to inform the public as much as we possibly can on the project and the advisories we have issued to date," he said of the forum.
The rail bridge, which was built in 1906 and spans the Susquehanna River between Havre de Grace and Perryville, is a key segment of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor serving the northeastern U.S.
Amtrak officials, as well as officials with the multiple federal, state and local agencies with a stake in the project, are in the midst of a lengthy process of engineering, design, environmental assessments and seeking public input that began in 2013 and is expected to last through 2017.
Project updates can be found online at http://www.susrailbridge.com.
The regional advisory board, established last fall by the Havre de Grace City Council, includes representatives of agencies and businesses in Cecil and Harford counties, who have either an interest or expertise in railroads, bridge design and maintenance, marine traffic and emergency response.
"We wanted to basically find people who could contribute the most in terms of expertise," said Ford, who described himself as a "rail fan," or railroad hobbyist.
Other members include Gamatoria, who is also a long-serving member of the Susquehanna Hose Company; Jeff Andrews, general manger of the Tidewater Marina in Havre de Grace; Steve Gorski, a civil engineer with the firm Duffield Associates Inc., which has a branch in Havre de Grace; Cecil County resident Chuck Lilley, a retired maintenance supervisor for the I-95 Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge and Route 40 Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge – two highway bridges that also span the river between Havre de Grace and Perryville; Shawn Oliver, a marine operations manager with the Vulcan Materials Co., which operates a quarry in Havre de Grace; retired Harford County Circuit Court Judge Emory Plitt, a Havre de Grace resident and rail enthusiast, and Perryville Town Commission Ray Ryan, an emergency response instructor for Harford County, according to Ford.
"So far, we've gained the full attention of Amtrak, and we've gained the full attention of the Maryland Transportation Authority and MARC," Ford said. "We're working very closely with them, and they have embraced a lot of our recommendations, and we have an excellent working relationship."

Brno, Sep 8 (BD) [Updated 13:45] – On Sunday evening, a patient with coronavirus died at Brno's St. Anne's Hospital, due to multiple organ failure. The death was the sixth related to the virus in Brno-mesto district and the 27th in the South Moravian Region.
Three other patients are confirmed to be in a serious condition: "Currently, there are three patients with Covid-19 at the anesthesiology and resuscitation clinic. They are on artificial lung ventilation and their condition is serious," said hospital spokeswoman Dana Lipovská, as reported by Brněnský deník.
Currently, 214 patients are hospitalised in the Czech Republic, and 437 people have died from the virus. As of Tuesday morning, there are 8,424 active cases in the country, from a total of 29,279 positive tests since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the Czech Ministry of Health.

It's common to cringe at the consideration of having a tooth extracted, however, extracting a tooth is sometimes the best way to prevent even more painful issues in the future. Here are a few suggestions to help you understand and prepare for a tooth extraction.
A tooth extraction may be recommended because the tooth is badly decayed or damaged beyond repair or restoration. Another reason is if your mouth is overcrowded and a tooth must be removed to reduce the overcrowding and to avoid the complications that can occur. A tooth may be extracted to reduce the risk of infection, or when gum disease has caused teeth to loosen.
For a simple extraction, Dr. Herbert will give you a local anesthetic to prevent any discomfort. If the extraction is more difficult or involves multiple teeth, it may be considered to receive a stronger general anesthetic to avoid the pain and make you sleep through the entire procedure.
After the tooth has been extracted, a blood clot will form in the socket. This is normal and necessary for proper healing. You must not disturb this clot, especially during the first few hours following the extraction. If the blood clot happens to break, you may induce a painful condition named dry socket, which will require Dr. Herbert to place a sedative dressing over the socket to form a new clot.
It's normal to experience some pain and bleeding during the first 24 hours following the extraction; but if these conditions are severe and persist for more than four hours after the surgery, call Prescott Dental Arts immediately.
Fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath, or other extreme discomfort is a likely sign of infection. This is rare, but if you experience any of these conditions, contact us immediately.
For our friends in Prescott, AZ, we offer Tooth Extractions for any family member. Please contact our office to schedule a friendly and gentle consultation.


For this release Parlay Droner went down to Mother Brother Studios to do a live improv session which was recorded by Matthew Vitti, owner and operator of Mother Brother. Side A opens with some shrill noises as an intro before becoming a multi-layered cacophony of buzzing and hums. Distorted samples of advertisements click in and out of the hum as it builds. The buzzing drops into the extremely low end area of the EQ into sounds you can literally feel. The sound transforms and warps into several different states before some really harsh sounds come in to create a blistering experience. This cuts into softer and much more eerie warped ghostly notes. This part is extremely meditative and warm. Light and soft area ambiance takes over some of the layers as it builds back up with whispering hisses. Are these hissing notes samples of flutes? Who knows! A beat begins and sludgy noise fills the environment and covers it like a blanket. One synth note cuts through the cacophony and stands alone like a buzz saw changing tones. More muddy notes blend in and cover the environment again as the next part begins. This next part is my favorite part of this side. Dark and deep and menacing, this is like a glimpse into a slow motion nightmare. This part starts around the 15 minute mark. Side A of this tape is a true to form improv for Parlay, who is currently at the top of his game.
Side B starts with a blast INSTANTLY with a cloud of hissing and low fuzz. As this reverberates off there is a faint distorted drum machine busting out a solid beat. It gets off the charts harsh from that point, warping to a slow and throbbing gain explosion of super low and super high frequencies. The low end really takes over as it goes, traveling deeper and deeper into windy bass territory with a vibrant and piercing distorted treble sound. Jangly repetitive rhythmic sounds join in to keep you from zoning out too hard. Fierce waves of sonic tide come in and toss the listener this way and that. A voice that sounds nearly underwater is speaking plainly, it sounds like a sample from something instructional. Then Parlay does one of the many things he is especially good at, he starts manning the drum machine manually. After some beats a new sound bleeds into the mix, something akin to a low frequency slide whistle or maybe a pedal steel sample. Whatever it is is bends up and down and adds an extremely unnerving and eerie element to the mix. This then turns into various sliding synth sounds working together to keep you from getting your balance. A slow mean beat starts as the background buzz becomes blistering again, and no sooner does it start then it stops and we are nearly underwater again struggling to keep our heads above. We hear the advertisement sample from the beginning of Side A again and some other tape samples too, as this session comes to a warm and beautiful close.
Parlay is the man to watch, as his catalog grows his grasp on his sound strengthens and becomes more realized. Pick up a cassette when you see him live or go to Quantum Wampum's Bandcamp page and order one!

So, here is the page where I shall list all the ornaments I own. I'd like to take pictures of each of them, but at present I have no way to do that. Maybe someday I shall. Some of them I may find pictures of online, however. Otherwise, I'll just list them, for now.
Glittery ceramic polar bear ornament from 2013.
I have a little brass sleigh ornament, no idea what year that's from or where I got it, but I suppose it must have been a gift.
This is probably the first ornament I ever bought myself. I got it at a craft fair in either the late 80s or early 90s, I think. It's a knit yarn thing, which I think cost me 25 cents.
I received one of these as a gift, probably sometime in the 2010s. It seemed really weird and random to me, because I'd never heard of such a thing. But when I started this page in January 2015, I found a Wikipedia page that says it's been a tradition since the late 19th century. Funny I never heard of it, but whatevs.
I have a set of these things, from 1992. They're made of clear plastic, and while there are four different designs in the set, you have to look pretty close to tell them apart. I don't even remember whether I got them myself, or they were gifts, or what. But they came for free with purchase of batteries.
I took a pic from Amazon, even though the ornament itself is currently unavailable on that site. I guess this was released in 1997, and the box mentions Spencer Gifts, but I really don't remember when or where or how I got this, if I bought it or if it was a gift, and if the latter, who might have given it to me. But anyway, it's kinda neat.
I have a Tinker Bell bauble which I think I bought in 2013, but it could have been anytime in the 2010s. I have occasionally seen other Tinker Bell ornaments in stores or catalogs, and considered buying them, but I usually have very limited funds, so I decline, regretfully. But someday I'll probably buy more Tink ornaments.


I'm reading a book about working with children who have disabilities and one of the most important points the author has made, and repeatedly stated, is that you have to work with them where they are at. You can't expect them to leap to where you want them to be. Forcing a child to crawl who isn't ready to do more than wiggle around on the floor does no good and probably does harm. You have to work around the edges of what that child can do and keep expanding those edges.
This is true of all kids, but it matters much more if a child has a disability that doesn't allow them to be as resilient as a child without any.
Today I was thinking about how well that advice works in other parts of our lives. If you want to make change happen you have to work around the edges of what already exists. If you disagree with someone, you will never change their mind by bluntly telling her she is wrong or making statements that paint a situation of us versus them.
Find common ground. Expand that common ground. We are all one and I benefit when you do.

February the 18th has arrived and I'm washing up, that's right, actually doing the work and not relying on white goods but practising some sinkcraft! Folk skills!
It's February the 17th, and yes, I'm getting a bit behind. It's exhausting this unspectacular business. Who knew that nothing much happening could be so time consuming. For the eagle-eared amongst you there 's the treat of hearing an apple fall onto cheap cermaic tiles in today's offering. Don't say we never do anything for you!
It's day ten and there's certainly nothing spectaculr goingon in this kitchen although if you compare the dishwasher sound from day ten with the recording day one there's definitely a change. Time eh!


My brother and I threw my parents a surprise anniversary party once, and much to my surprise, we somehow pulled it off. A cake, DJ, open bar, friends, family, the whole shebang. It was a big success, everyone had a great time, and I will probably never do it ever again.
Okay maybe, but I'm definitely going to need a few more years before I'm mentally prepared to endure the traumatic, life-sucking task that planning a huge party is. I really don't know how people do it professionally. As much as I enjoy flipping through Martha Stewart magazines for recipes and corresponding decor, when it gets down to actually executing these things, it is really freakin' stressful am I right?
Here's what I picture in my head when thinking about hosting a party: whipping up appetizers and cookies the night before the party, while selecting the perfect playlist and hanging decorations so I'm prepared the next day. A few hours before, I'm putting on said playlist, pulling the cookies out of the oven, and arranging flowers, just before changing into my carefully curated hostess outfit.
Here's what actually happened this weekend, when my roommate and I hosted a small holiday/birthday/housewarming get-together (three months after we moved in, by the way): leave work much later than expected, run through pouring rain to Trader Joe's to pick up cheap wine and food, stop at Target to pick up festive Christmas sweaters, lug four extremely heavy bags on the subway and through pouring rain, let the dog out, go pick up a small Christmas tree at the place around the corner (not kidding), feebly attempt to decorate said tree in 15 minutes, change into jeans and festive Christmas sweater, fix hair (due to aforementioned pouring rain), throw on a random holiday Spotify radio, start preparing appetizers, and decide to skip making cookies when a friend shows up with a bag of holiday M&Ms.
I love the holidays, but they can be ridiculously stressful.
Solution? Idiot-proof appetizers. Also, a dress code that requires an ugly Christmas sweater and jeans. But let's focus on the food. If you have the time to prepare and cook a full menu, I respect you. But if your party prep looks like somewhat like mine, (because who has the time?) then here's an easy recipe to assemble last minute. It's a crowd-pleaser, plus it's red, green & white. That means – bonus – it basically acts as decor too.
On a large plate or serving tray, assemble the apps by sliding a tomato, then a basil leaf, then a mozzarella ball on a toothpick. Repeat until you have used all the ingredients. Sprinkle salt and pepper over all. If you're making the dipping sauce (this is essentially balsamic dressing), mix the ingredients together and place in a mini serving bowl in the center of the tray or to the side.
Easiest assembly ever, right? Just bought yourself some time, so get out of the kitchen, throw on your sweater, pour a glass of wine and enjoy the party.
LOVE the article & the festive apps- I KNOW someone who can make these really good. LOVE all the neat stuff you are sharing & in a human & humorous way- VERY refreshing to read your site- I will be reading it regularly!!

SMU-TV The Daily Update
Scooters on Campus
Isabella Mejia October 29, 2019
It's as easy as 1,2,3… SMU students are being
introduced to an
alternative method of transportation… electric
scooters.
They are becoming one of the main ways SMU students are getting around.
" I think they're fun, everyone likes them, they're nice to use between classes," Charlotte Ruffing, SMU student said.
They were allowed on the SMU campus last year but were briefly
banned by university officials.
This year… They're back – on a trial basis… After students protested…
But these scooters are only allowed on campus… Not on the streets of
university park.
"I think they've gotten a little out of hand… like there's a lot everywhere and I think that's what's starting to cause a problem with traffic jams and build up and all that stuff," Ruffing said.
Several accidents have been reported by students and some.. are now scared to ride them.
"Yeah, it's dangerous for sure…but if you're riding them properly you shouldn't have a problem," Benjamin Sanchez, Lime Operations Specialist, Benjamin Sanchez said.
After having an accident on the scooters, Ruffing is now more cautious about them.
"I hit a pothole and I sorta fell over the handlebars and landed on my face," she said.
Although a helmet is not required, companies that designed the scooters encourage riders to use them. Bird officials say the company will send each rider a free helmet if
they're willing to pay for shipping.
Student Senate is aware of the problem but still, stand divided on the issue.
"So I brought it up to senate last week and we like took a vote on. We just kinda like raised our hands-on weather people thought scooters were a good idea or a bad idea and 29 senators thought it was a good idea to have them on campus and 11 that thought they were a bad idea" said Molly Patrick, VP of Student Body.
The scooters are safe for now and SMU students can still enjoy having the option of not having to walk everywhere on campus.

Breaking down your bus options in Sask. post-STC
Saskatchewan·In Depth
Eight companies have received an operating authority certificate by the Highway Traffic Board, but only a few offer the same services as STC.
8 companies approved by Highway Traffic Board, but not all offering passenger service
Peter Mills · CBC News · Posted: Jul 19, 2017 12:31 PM CT | Last Updated: July 19, 2017
The STC ended service on May 31, 2017. (Peter Mills/CBC)
Since the provincial government shut down the Saskatchewan Transportation Company, eight companies have received an operating authority certificate by the Highway Traffic Board, but only two are offering similar service as the shuttered Crown.
The approved companies are:
Rider Express Transportation.
DiCal Transport.
Vanbango Party Bus Ltd.
Southland Transportation Ltd.
Engelheim Charter Inc.
Forward Coach Lines (listed as 101266444 Saskatchewan Ltd.).
Alsask Bus Services Ltd.
Crown Cab (2011) Ltd.
Currently, Rider Express Transportation and DiCal Transport are the only Saskatchewan-based companies offering passenger services similar to STC.
Greyhound remains an option for people, too, especially along the Trans-Canada and Yellowhead Highways.
Ask family or friends for a ride, says STC minister in light of hitchhiking concerns
Since Greyhound offers trips from Regina to Calgary, people can find trips in Saskatchewan to places like Moose Jaw and Swift Current and stops along the way.
Greyhound also offers some select trips in Saskatchewan off the Trans-Canada and Yellowhead, such as Swift Current to Saskatoon.
But there is no Greyhound route between Regina and Saskatoon, and the company tells CBC it does "not have plans to pick up any additional routes at this time."
The company also said it will continue "operating from the same facilities in both Regina and Saskatoon until Sept. 29, at which time we will review our options for an alternate location."
New kids on the highway
Rider Express Transportation has four 15-passenger buses. It is offering service on routes from Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert and Swift Current. (Facebook/Rider Express Transportation)
Rider Express Transportation is based in Regina and has a fleet of 15-passenger vans. It offers trips between Regina and Saskatoon twice per day, and between Saskatoon and Prince Albert three days per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).
Firat Uray, owner of Rider Express, said the first reason he got into the business was "to help the province." He called it "sad news" when STC shut down, but he also understands that the Crown was losing money.
Uray said he also saw "a new business opportunity." Originally from Turkey, Uray said he was planning to offer services before STC shut down.
"I was thinking that I can do better than STC [was] doing because ... on the way they stopped [at] so many place[s]. I was thinking that if I can go express — non-stop, only one stop on the way — then I can go faster than STC."
Uray said business started slow, but day-by-day it is picking up.
He said he will consider new routes and see what works best.
Starting on Monday, the company will offer one trip per day from Swift Current to Saskatoon in the morning, and then back to Swift Current from Saskatoon in the afternoon.

Company 'shocked' by STC shut down
Melville-based DiCal Transport has been operating in Saskatchewan since 2010 as a courier, moving and delivery business.
Starting on July 10, it started offering a passenger service from Melville to Yorkton to Regina in the morning and the opposite way in the afternoon. The company also offers pick-ups and drop-offs in Fort Qu'Appelle and Balcarres.
Diane Smith, owner of DiCal Transport, said adding scheduled passenger service was a direct result of STC shutting down.
Dozens gathered on the steps of Saskatchewan's legislature in May to call on the government to reverse closing the STC. (CBC Saskatchewan)
"Initially I was shocked," she said. "One of my customers called me and told me that they [STC] were shutting down and asked if we would be able to bring more of their freight from Regina and I said, 'Yeah, like absolutely.'
"And I didn't even think about the passengers at first until we delivered a washer and dryer to a senior here in town and she was saying that she wouldn't be able to get to Regina to her doctor's appointments."

Smith said there were 26 passengers in the first week, and that seems to be increasing based on ticket sales.

Regina-based Forward Coach Lines is hoping to hit the road by Aug. 1.
Owner Hasan Topal is originally from Turkey and is passionate about offering services to the province. Topal's father ran a transportation business, and before STC shut down, he wanted to offer passenger service because he was struggling to find his ideal career path in life.
3rd private bus company approved to fill STC's shoes
"I'm really happy now," he said. "I know I'm taking risks. I know that I'm investing a lot of money, but I'm not looking back and I'm feeling ambitious about it."
Topal is planning to start with trips to and from Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. Like Rider Express Transportation, Forward Coach Lines will use 15-passenger vans.
Hasan Topal plans to operate a passenger service between Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. His company is called Forward Coach Lines. (Submitted by Hasan Topal)
Chartering a new course
In the case of Vanbango, the party bus service is only offering private charter service in the Kindersley and surrounding area, as well as bookings for things like Saskatchewan Roughriders games.
Southland Transportation also tells CBC it does not have any plans to offer scheduled passenger service. Kyle Johnston, general manager of Southland, said it operates school bus charters, and some industrial and commercial transportation.
Meanwhile, Engelheim Charter owner Gladys Engel said they are taking their time deciding whether to offer scheduled passenger service. She said the company wants to make sure there is enough demand and it is financially worth it.
CBC has not yet reached Alsask Bus Services or Crown Cab.

Do university lecturers carry their academic research to classrooms?
We must accept that. Most academics –including myself– struggle when they have to write a short briefing of their teaching philosophy . The common answer relates the main two missions of the university: teaching and research. University lecturers are expected to carry the lab –understanding lab as individual academic research– to classrooms. But it rarely happens, especially in undergraduate courses. I recently came across to one interesting exception: The Phillips Curve.
The Phillips Curve describes a –short-run– negative relationship between inflation and unemployment and received the name from William Phillips who first identified this pattern with empirical-driven study collecting information of inflation and unemployment for the period 1861-1957 in the UK. He did not receive the Nobel Prize, but at least six of the authors building –part of their research– to the better understanding of the relation between unemployment and inflation achieved this award for their contributions. In chronological order: Paul Samuelson in 1970, Milton Friedman in 1976, Robert Solow in 1987, Robert Lucas in 1995, Edmund Phelps in 2006, and finally Thomas Sargent in 2011. All the insights and recommendations from this debate are still important for policy makers when defining their monetary –interestingly the independence of central banks is a consequence of this debate– and fiscal policies. And therefore are relevant for undergraduate and postgraduate students in economics and business.
Apart from the technical details, it is also a great opportunity for students to discover the processes and advances of the academic thinking. To understand how after the discovery of an empirical pattern other authors look whether it is generalizable or not, and some others construct robust theoretical models based on the previous empirical studies. This kind of build-in-academic-debate teaching content can be motivating and encouraging for those students showing a prospect interest in developing an academic career.
In sum, teaching the Phillips Curve is a good illustration of the generation of knowledge. And certainly, we need to see more academic developments like this in textbooks and teaching notes. What in my view it actually means bringing the lab to the classroom.

A: I use this code here and it works fine for me
1: add json_simple-1.1.jar to your project Tutorial
2: copy classes code from yandex-translator-java-api/src/com/rmtheis/yandtran/ to your project
3: Put your API key in ApiKeys.java
4: put this lines to translate a text:
    Translate.setKey(ApiKeys.YANDEX_API_KEY);

    String translatedText = Translate.execute("Hola, mundo!", Language.SPANISH, Language.ENGLISH);

5: if you get android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException error that's because this exception is thrown when an application attempts to perform a networking operation on its main thread, Solution:
-- Add this lines in your YandexTranslatorApi.java
static class RetrieveResponse extends AsyncTask<URL,Void,String>{

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(URL... params) {
            String result = "";
            try {
                result = retrieveResponse(params[0]);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return result;
        }
    }

-- in retrievePropString and retrievePropArrString method change this line:
final String response = retrieveResponse(url);

by this:
final String response = new RetrieveResponse().execute(url).get();

Edited:
add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> to your AndroidManifest.xml
Good luck ^_^
