New York's highest court delivers remarkable decision on limits on personal jurisdiction over foreign companies
By Richard K. Clark on	 December 30, 2021 Supreme tire
As a product liability defense lawyer, of course, we stay abreast of important court decisions regarding the defense of personal jurisdiction. In cases where we represent a company which has not been sued in its State of origin (c. Beginning of the case. In a motion for dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction, the defense argues that it does not is not subject to the jurisdiction of the court where the action is filed and that, therefore, the "forum court" does not have the power to issue a decision or judgment that binds the foreign company, since it does not does not have the requisite jurisdiction. A jurisdictional motion to dismiss can be extremely powerful and can protect a defendant from being wrongly brought before a court outside their home state that has no connection to the issues in dispute in the trial.Nevertheless, it is also important to carefully consider the prospects of raising this defense at the outset of the case, as the defense may be waived by a defendant, and in some cases a defendant may consent to personal jurisdiction. from a strange state r.
There are of course situations in which a foreign company can be legally sued outside the state in which it resides. For example, in the situation where a company commits tortious conduct that causes prejudice to a plaintiff in the forum state, this is referred to a specific personal jurisdiction and may serve as the basis for forcing a foreign defendant to respond to the claims made. against her in the Forum Tribunal located outside her State of origin. However, in cases where the Forum Tribunal has no connection with the issues in the current lawsuit, such as in the case of a product liability lawsuit, where (1) the accident does not occur. 'is not produced in the state where the Forum tribunal is located or (2) the product in question was not designed, manufactured or sold in the state where the Forum tribunal is located, the personal jurisdiction of the tribunal will be contested by the defendant. The foreign company will challenge the jurisdiction of the forum court in this case, because the criminal acts it allegedly committed did not take place in the forum State and therefore do not arise from its contacts with the forum State.
In the event that the foreign company is sued outside its State of origin, in a court located in a State which has no connection with the issues in dispute in the lawsuit, it cannot be required to plead its defense of the trial that in the Forum Court, if it can be observed that the foreign company is subject to the "general jurisdiction" of this court. When a company is subject to the general jurisdiction of a court, it can essentially be sued for any dispute before that court, whether or not the issues in dispute relate to the state where the court is located. Normally, a company cannot be subject to the general jurisdiction of a court in the state where it resides. If it turns out that a company is subject to the general jurisdiction of a court, it means that the defendant company may be required to respond to the claims made against it in this lawsuit, which the issues in dispute in the lawsuits arise from the activities of the defendant company within the state. Therefore, for a court to find that a foreign company is subject to the general jurisdiction of that court, there must be evidence that the foreign company has somehow waived its defense of jurisdiction, or has previously consented to the general jurisdiction of the Forum (out of State) Court.
New York Court of Appeals decision in Aybar vs. Aybar
The highest court in New York recently delivered a remarkable personal jurisdiction decision dealing with this specific issue of whether the defendants, who were foreign companies sued in New York, had consented to the general jurisdiction of the courts of New York. The New York Court of Appeals ruled in its decision of Aybar vs. Aybar [1] that the defendants who challenged jurisdiction in the case, Ford Motor Company (Ford) and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (Goodyear), were not subject to the general personal jurisdiction of the courts of New York by reason of their registering to do business in New York State as a foreign company and / or appointing an agent for service of pleadings in New York.
The decision of the New York Court of Appeals in Aybar follows the recent landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court in Ford v. Montana, which we have covered in previous articles on this site on December 22, 2020; April 2, 2021; and April 23, 2021. However, the SCOTUS decision in Ford v. Montana mainly dealt with the constitutional limits of a court's specific personal jurisdiction over a foreign defendant company.
In Aybar, the action arose out of a traffic accident in the state of Virginia. The plaintiff, a New York resident, claimed that the Goodyear tire fitted to the Ford Explorer he was driving was defective and caused the accident. Instead of bringing this product liability action in the state where the accident occurred, which was Virginia, or in the states where the vehicle was manufactured or sold, the plaintiff brought the action in New York court, which has no connection with the issues in dispute in the lawsuit. In opposition to the jurisdictional challenge made by Ford and Goodyear, the plaintiff argued that these foreign companies consented to the general jurisdiction of the courts of New York by registering themselves as licensed foreign companies and by appointing a registered agent for the service of procedural documents within the State.
Under New York Business Corporation Law, a foreign corporation "must not do business in the state until it has been authorized to do so."[2] As part of the registration process to do business in New York State as a foreign corporation, the foreign corporation must also appoint the Secretary of State as its attorney for service, and whether it has a registered agent , it must identify this registered agent for the service of procedural documents when registering.[3] However, the Court of Appeals correctly pointed out that the New York Corporations Act does not make the right to do business in New York State conditional on the consent of the foreign company to the general jurisdiction of the courts. from New York.
The Court of Appeal conceded that it could not find that a foreign defendant company came under the general personal jurisdiction of the courts of New York on the basis of that foreign company's compliance with existing business registration laws. in New York State. The court ruled that compliance with these business registration laws does not constitute consent and a waiver of the general jurisdiction of the courts of New York, as argued by the plaintiff. The court further ruled that adopting the plaintiff's argument would indeed constitute an unauthorized amendment to the law on joint stock companies and would include a provision which does not exist in the law.
This decision will serve as a useful case law precedent for foreign defendants who are forced to defend actions brought against them in New York State that have no connection with the state or do not arise from their activities within the state. – regardless of how these unrelated activities may be spread across New York State. As mentioned above, the personal jurisdiction defense should always be considered carefully at the start of a case, as it can be waived in some cases and, therefore, is not an absolute defense.

Traffic. Something we all hate when we're on the way to work, but something we're desperate for if your work involves a website. But the same rules don't apply to traffic on the road and traffic on the internet. On the road, pretty much all traffic is bad, annoying and something you don't want. But the opposite isn't exactly true on the internet. Sure, we all want a lot of traffic to our website, but if it isn't converting then its almost as useless as the traffic jam on the way to work. What all of us are after is a high conversion rate.
So what can be done to increase conversions?
Well what we specialise in is competitor price monitoring. Whilst having the most competitive prices is the most important factor in competitive ecommerce sectors, there are still other aspects that need to be in check so as to further enhance the effects of monitoring your competitors prices.
What do shoppers do when they want something? They hunt around, run searches for the best prices, and then go from there. Well even if you are competitively priced, your site may not show up high enough in the search results to get spotted by potential customers. So you need to make sure you rank well for your specific keywords. This means you have to treat SEO as part of your routine unless you are outsourcing it. Its no good building a few links and hoping you stay in the position you are in. SEO, like competitor price monitoring, is an ongoing activity. So put yourself out there, write blog posts, interact on forums and social media, and publish press releases. Anything that can build good quality links to your site is going to help you move up the rankings so that you show up when someone searches for your product or service.
So you're using a competitor price monitoring service. You've ramped up the SEO efforts for your ecommerce website. There's still one more thing which can be done to ensure you are doing the very best you can to win customers, and that is conversion rate optimisation (CRO). This, like the SEO and competitor price monitoring, is a large topic and you should spend time researching how to optimise your website. It may be that the layout simply doesn't appeal to customers, or it may be its hard to navigate. Whatever it is, there are sophisticated tools available to help you get to the bottom of why visitors aren't converting (or if they are, how to get even more!). You can know how people interact on each page of your website, you can use heat maps to see where people click, and once you've got this knowledge, you can try doing some tests to enhance your ecommerce store even further. Maybe try various headings, images, layouts or calls to action until you are getting the conversions you want.
One essential tool to help with CRO is Google Analytics, a free service used to track bounce rates and navigation paths. Used in conjunction with a tool like Click Tale and you have all the information you need.
Hopefully this has given you an insight into what is required in order to stay competitive in today's ecommerce arena. Leave a comment if you want to discuss any of the steps covered in the post. For more information on how we can monitor your competitors prices, take a tour.

Lawmakers Consider Ban on Shock Treatment For Children
Rachel ZimmermanTwitter
WBUR's Rachel Gotbaum reports that state lawmakers will hear proposals today to ban so-called "skin shock" or aversive therapy for children attending the Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton.
The JRC is the only known school in the country that offers the skin shocks, which supporters say not only help developmentally disabled children lead normal lives but also keeps many of these children (who injure themselves and others) alive. Over the years the center has been a target of numerous lawsuits, and also attempts to shut it down by lawmakers, parents and advocates of the disabled who say the practice amounts to the torture of children.
One child who has received the shock treatments, according to the report, is the nephew of state Representative Jeff Sanchez:
Sanchez says 20 years ago when Brandon was 12, he was moved to the Judge Rotenberg Center, where he was one of the first children to receive so-called skin shock...or aversive therapy. Sanchez says the electric shocks have kept his nephew alive:
"When he starts to ruminate — meaning when you vomit into your mouth and then you chew and then you swallow and chew and vomit again — the application is given, and it stops him from doing it. It's as simple as that."
Brandon still lives at the center, and still receives this treatment. The JRC is often considered the last resort for children and adults who range from being emotionally disturbed to severely autistic . It's the only school in the U.S. that's known to offer shock therapy as a way to modify sometimes violent and bloody behavior. Students come from districts across the country.
There are some disturbing bits in the piece. For instance, Rachel reports that about "a third of the students here wear small electrodes attached to their skin. When they begin to act out—sometimes violently towards themselves or others—they can be zapped remotely with a 2-second shock." One former student, Hillary Cook, describes it as "extreme piercing pain."
Proposals to ban the shock therapy aren't new. Still, Rachel reports that state Sen. Brian Joyce, whose district includes Canton, where the Rotenberg Center is located, will introduce a new bill to prohibit the practice.
"No other state in the union lets this happen. The UN has ruled that this is torture," Joyce said. "We wouldn't be able to do this to the most heinous of criminals pursuant to the constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment, and yet it goes on in Canton, Massachusetts at the JRC."
Attorneys for the JRC say the center — which has successfully won court cases in the past — will challenge any attempt to ban skin shock therapy.
Besides the proposals before the Legislature, the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services is also considering barring electric shocks at the Rotenberg Center for new students. The agency is expected to make a decision by September.

Fact Check: Biden Tells Biggest Lie of the Night, Maybe the Entire Election
Reported By Andrew J. Sciascia | Published October 22, 2020 at 8:21pm

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden landed himself in a factually sticky situation Thursday night, arguing former President Barack Obama had never taken part in the policy of family separation carried out at the outset of the Trump administration.
The false claim came late in the second and final debate of the 2020 presidential election cycle, as he faced off with incumbent Republican President Donald Trump on the issue of illegal immigration.
"These 500-plus kids came with parents. They separated them at the border to make it a disincentive to come to begin with," Biden said. "They got separated from their parents and it makes us a laughingstock and violates every notion of who we are as a nation."

"Kristen, they did it," Trump said, addressing debate moderator Kristen Welker. "We changed the policy. They did it. We changed — they built the cages."
"We did not separate — they," Biden trailed off, changing course.
"Let's talk about what we're talking about. Let's talk about what we're talking about. What happened? Kids were ripped from their arms and separated."
The narrative was not original, having already been fact-checked on numerous occasions by independent sources in the establishment media.
The Associated Press, for its part, checked former first lady Michelle Obama for making similar claims in an address to the 2020 Democratic National Convention this past August.
"Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for allegedly ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats," The AP wrote.

Assassination Attempt Against President Trump Foiled by Law Enforcement: Report
Reported By Joe Setyon | Published September 19, 2020 at 12:41pm
URL of the originating web site: https://www.westernjournal.com/assassination-attempt-president-trump-foiled-law-enforcement-report/
Law enforcement officials recently foiled what appears to be an assassination attempt that targeted President Donald Trump via a package containing the poison ricin, according to a report. Citing two law enforcement officials, CNN reported the package was addressed to Trump and intercepted by authorities this week.
"Two tests were done to confirm the presence of ricin," according to the outlet.
"All mail for the White House is sorted and screened at an offsite facility before reaching the White House."
The New York Times confirmed, citing a law enforcement official, that an envelope addressed to the White House and containing Ricin was intercepted this week.
"It is unclear when the envelope was intercepted before it reached the White House mail room, but investigators believe that it was sent from Canada, according to the official," The Times reported.
"Federal investigators are working to track down who sent it and determine whether other envelopes have been sent through the postal system."
The FBI's field office in Washington, D.C., told the Washington Examiner it was investigating a "suspicious letter," though it did not provide many details.
"The FBI and our U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Postal Inspection Service partners are investigating a suspicious letter received at a U.S. government mail facility," the FBI's statement read.
"At this time, there is no known threat to public safety."

Sharp-Eyed Viewers Catch DNC Faking Kamala Harris Fans
Reported By Joe Saunders | Published August 20, 2020 at 8:38am

It looks like support for Sen. Kamala Harris is as fake as her speeches. When the Democratic nominee for vice president closed out her distinctly uninspiring speech on Wednesday night, she waved to a bank of video monitors showing rapturously applauding supporters.
But sharp-eyed Trump campaign workers saw something else: Many of the screens showed the same figures twice. Zach Parker, Trump campaign deputy director of communications, sent out the first image when it looked like just two of the scenes were dupes:
Then there were four:
And, finally, it turned out six of the screens were duplicates.
Andrew Clark, rapid response director for the Trump campaign, blasted out the news.
Astounding as it might be, the Democratic National Committee — on a night that was declared "historic" thanks to the nomination of a black woman for vice president (no matter how dubious she is) — was apparently unable to put up 30 separate screens of supporters elated with being part of the historic occasion.
What's even more astounding — though it shouldn't be at this point — is that liberals were falling all over themselves to excuse the idiocy. One guy, when it looked like there was only one duplication, even went to far as to call the Democratic production "perfection."
Well, perfection it clearly wasn't. And there were many, many Twitter users who weren't nearly so forgiving as the leftist vote.
That last one might be a little bit too harsh.
Given the oddity of the whole virtual convention setup, it's an outside possibility that there was a technical glitch involved that somehow flooded Harris' supporter bank with duplicate feeds. But given the Democrats' history of lying to the American people — this is the party of Adam Schiff, remember, and Jerry Nadler, and Nancy Pelosi, to name but a few — it's more than possible that an organization that knows it has the slavering support of a supine mainstream media thought there would be no downside to presenting a demonstrably false image to the country on one of its most important nights of the year.
This is a candidate, also, who used her speech after being announced as former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate to regale the country with lie after lie after lie, as National Review's Kyle Smith pointed out last week.
Either way, it's a rock-solid cinch that the incident won't get anywhere near the kind of coverage in the mainstream media it would if it had been, say, Vice President Mike Pence waving like an idiot to a bank of computer-monitor clones.
As far as scandals go, "Dupli-Gate" has a nice ring to it.

Tucker Carlson Asks the Ultimate Question: How Can Democrats Run the US When They Hate It?
Commentary By Joe Saunders | Published July 7, 2020 at 10:52am
It's the question every American should be asking heading into November, but Tucker Carlson said it out loud. It wasn't polite. It wasn't politically correct. But it's an answer every voter should know before casting a ballot on Election Day: How can Americans trust liberals to lead the country when they've spent the past months proving how much they loathe it?
In his monologue Monday night, the Fox News host, who has had his own share of run-ins with the violent left, used liberals' own words and actions to back up his point, and contrasted them with President Donald Trump's speech Friday at Mount Rushmore to drive it home.
Besides delivering a paean to the greatness of American history and the figures who created it — white and black, male and female — Trump slammed the Black Lives Matter riots that have taken place across the country. The anarchy under the guise of what the mainstream media blithely refer to as "mostly peaceful protests" has the ostensible aim of targeting alleged "systemic racism" — but the real target is the United States as a whole.
"Make no mistake, this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution," the president said.
"In so doing, they would destroy the very civilization that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence and hunger, and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery and progress.
"To make this possible, they are determined to tear down every statue, symbol and memory of our national heritage."
And for Carlson, those words said it all.
"Trump is the most dangerous to his enemies when he tells the truth," the Fox News host said. "In fact, they're his enemies precisely because sometimes he does tell the truth and he did the other day."
Check out his full monologue here. It's about 13 minutes long, but for anyone who missed it Monday night, it's well worth the time. It contained Carlson's own paean to the country, reminders of exactly why the United States is the place countless millions born elsewhere want to live.
About the 10:30 mark, Carlson zeroed in on Joe Biden, the man who spent 36 years in the U.S. Senate before going on to another eight years as vice president. Biden should be overflowing with gratitude for the country that has given him and his family a life in politics probably far better than he could ever have earned in the honest world.
And what did the man who's sewn up the Democratic nomination for president offer in a speech supposedly celebrating this great nation's birthday?
"A full-throated attack on the United States," Carlson said.
Then he played a clip of Biden's Independence Day message.
"Our country was founded on an idea, 'We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created.' We never lived up to it," the Democrat said.
"Jefferson himself didn't. He held slaves. Women were excluded.
"American history is no fairy tale. It's been a constant push and pull between two parts of our character. The idea that all men and women and all people are created equal, and the racism that has torn us apart. …
"We have a chance to rip the roots of systemic racism out of this country."
If it weren't so laughable, it would be enraging.
Joe Biden is talking about a chance to rip up the "roots of systemic racism" in this country"? This is a man who's spent his entire life in American government.
Biden spent the early parts of his career kissing up to the arch-segregationists who were the power of his party for so long, and now he's spending the last years of it sucking up to the new segregationists of the Black Lives Matter movement. If there were systemic racism to be ripped up, Biden had a lifetime to work on it. In the vice president's office, he had eight years working with the country's first black president — so it really should have come up, if it were present.
But it wasn't and it's not. It's another liberal lie that's being used as a weapon to undermine the country at its foundations — exactly what could be expected from a group that has moved from political opposition to one doing its damndest to teach Americans to hate themselves.
Joe Biden and the modern Democratic Party that's trying to install him in the White House can talk all they want about how much they "love" this country, but their deeds show the exact opposite. And Tucker Carlson called it out.
"It's long been considered out-of-bounds to question a person's patriotism. It's a very strong charge, and we try not ever to make it," Carlson said.
"But in the face of all of this, the conclusion can't be avoided — these people actually hate America. There's no longer a question about that. And yet paradoxically, at the same time, they desperately want to control America more than anything."
Those are strong words, but the behavior of the Democratic Party and its supporters merit them. There was a time when this all could have been chalked up to fanatical opposition to the administration.
The lies of Rep. Adam Schiff that led up to the ludicrous impeachment trial, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Maleficient-level treatment of Trump, the endless propaganda of the mainstream media, was all rough stuff, but it was politics, and politics is no game of beanbag.
What the country has witnessed over the past month has been something different, and far more malevolent. It's the difference between "opposition" and "resistance." The Democratic Party chose the latter at the beginning of the Trump presidency, and the country is now seeing the fruits of that decision.
The fact is, the indefensible death of a man in police custody in Minneapolis has been used to unleash the worst, basest instincts of a sizable group of Americans twisted by their own ignorance into despising the country they should love. The Democratic Party has chosen them as a vessel to return to power in the White House and in doing so has betrayed its own apparent loathing for America itself — an imperfect country they will never forgive for its imperfections.
There are still months to go before Election Day, and it's entirely possible there will be an epiphany of some kind on the Democratic side that puts a stop to the party's descent into nihilism. (Contrary to all evidence, there are still millions of decent men and women misguided enough to identify as Democrats. You might even know a few.)
But it's still a question every American voter needs to ask and answer before casting a ballot in November:
How can Americans trust liberals to lead the country when they're bent on proving to the country and each other how much they loathe it?
And Tucker Carlson asked it out loud.
Kayleigh McEnany, WH Slap Down AOC's 'Racist' Attack on Press Secretary
Reported By Joe Saunders | Published June 9, 2020 at 8:28am
URL of the originating web site: https://www.westernjournal.com/kayleigh-mcenany-wh-slap-aocs-racist-attack-press-secretary/
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany doesn't read the newspapers. Maybe AOC should try reading what McEnany actually says before she launches an attack that basically accuses the press secretary of racism — even subconscious racism.
In a social media dispute that flared up Monday, New York's best-known democratic socialist tried to paint the Harvard Law graduate McEnany as too ignorant to know the office Ocasio-Cortez holds, apparently thanks to a Politico summary of McEnany's comments during a White House news briefing.
"@PressSec wouldn't be the first person to mistake a women of color for having a lower position or title than she does, but Kayleigh – in case you haven't picked up a newspaper in two years, I'm a Congresswoman," Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
"The@PressSec comment is steeped in a long, hurtful, & horrendous history of stripping women of color of titles and diminishing them to 'the help.' Perhaps she isn't aware that what she did is mired in racist history. If that is the case, I look forward to her apology tomorrow."
First of all, since it's unlikely McEnany has been living under a rock since the 2018 election season, it's a good chance she knew full well who the Bronx-Queens Democrat is even before becoming White House press secretary.
Second, Ocasio-Cortez appeared to be triggered by Politico reporter Jake Sherman's suspiciously snarky Twitter post that implied McEnany had referred to AOC as simply an "adviser" to Joe Biden, the elderly, white male who's somehow become the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee for 2020.
Also, since McEnany was referring to Ocasio-Cortez's status as co-chairwoman of a panel advising Biden on "climate change," there's an argument to be made that McEnany was complimenting AOC by elevating her beyond the ranks of an ordinary member of Congress to a powerful player in presidential politics.
Finally, as Alyssa Farah, White House director of strategic communications noted, Ocasio-Cortez was just dead wrong.
Had the congresswoman taken more than a minute to look, and resisted the urge to leap immediately at Sherman's cc'ed Twitter bait, she would have known McEnany had fully described her, as well as AOC's equally obnoxious "squad" mate Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the Democratic congresswoman from Michigan.
The two women came up when McEnany was fielding a question about the Democrats' insane push to defund American police departments.
At a Friday night debate, according to the U.K. Independent, Ocasio-Cortez called for the "reduction of our NYPD budget and defunding a $6 billion budget, that costs us books in the hands of our children and costs us very badly needed investment in NYCHA and public housing."
Tlaib has also posted support for defunding police.
And that's what McEnany was talking about when she brought up the congresswomen — including their titles.
She didn't take long in responding to the Ocasio-Cortez tweet. And it's safe to say the response wasn't the "apology" AOC was looking for.
"Read the transcript, Congresswoman," McEnany wrote in a Twitter post.

"The president is appalled by the 'defund the police' movement," McEnany said, according to the transcript.
"The fact that you have sitting congresswomen wanting to defund the police — notably Rashida Tlaib, notably Biden adviser Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — former Clinton and Eric Holder spokesperson Brian Fallon wanting to defund our police across this country, it is extraordinary."
In other words, Ocasio-Cortez fired off Monday apparently on the basis of a reporter's tweet that seemed designed to get a rise out of her, and she jumped right at it. That's not exactly the behavior voters should expect of their elected officials, but it's the kind of action Americans have learned to expect from Democrats and "progressives" who have spent the Trump years demonstrating the maturity of middle schoolers.
As is usual with anything coming out of the Trump White House, McEnany's tweet drew plenty of liberal responses as AOC's supporters flocked to the congresswoman's defense like the flying monkeys of "The Wizard of Oz" — but McEnany had plenty of backers, too.

And that last one is key.
Following the example of former press secretary Sarah Sanders, whose tenure was a textbook example of how the White House should handle an unrelentingly hostile press corps, McEnany has made it clear from the beginning that she wasn't going to be intimidated by the divas in the briefing room.
Even the most vainly obtuse (say, Jim Acosta?) should be learning by now that attacking McEnany without a decent cause is going to be an exercise in failure.
Maybe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will learn the lesson too — assuming she reads enough about it.
Pelosi Catches Fire for New Low in Pandering: Kneels Before Introducing 'Justice in Policing' Act
Reported By Joe Saunders | Published June 8, 2020 at 12:21pm

Nancy Pelosi has been lowering herself — and American politics — for decades now. But on Monday, she did it literally.
As the country heads into President Donald Trump's 2020 re-election bid, the crassly opportunistic (and maliciously anti-Trump) House speaker clearly hopes to capitalize on a wave of anti-police sentiment, stemming from the May 25 death of George Floyd after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for roughly nine minutes during an arrest, to defeat Trump's campaign.
Claiming that police are the real problem, Democrats at the local level are working to "defund police" forces in their communities — and leave the minorities they claim to care about even more vulnerable to crime. The mainstream media is doing its ever-predictable part by portraying an astonishing orgy of riot and looting as some kind of heir to the dignified, morally driven protests of the civil rights movement.
And now comes House Speaker Pelosi herself, ostentatiously taking a knee in the ornate surroundings of Emancipation Hall (formerly the Great Hall) in the nation's Capitol before introducing a bill to put a new set of federal regulations onto the nation's locally controlled police forces.
Congressional Democrats take a knee as they observe a nearly nine minute moment of silence for George Floyd at Emancipation Hall at the U.S. Capitol. https://t.co/JnqDlzMFDq pic.twitter.com/8CBdgtLUjz
— ABC News (@ABC) June 8, 2020
The bill, officially known as the "Justice in Policing Act," is ostensibly intended to "hold law enforcement accountable in court, improve transparency through data collection, and reform police training and policies." What it's more likely intended to do is whip up Democratic voters heading into the November election, and provide a patina of legislative covering to continuing unrest in overwhelmingly Democratic-controlled cities.
"The martyrdom of George Floyd gave American experience a moment of national anguish as we grieve for the black Americans killed by police brutality," a somewhat garbled Pelosi said at a news conference after the kneeling ceremony.
"Today, this movement of national anguish is being transformed into a movement of national action as Americans from across the country peacefully protest to demand an end to injustice."
For Democrats, it probably looked like a moment of perfect political theater.
But some of the online reviews were appropriately damning:

It's interesting that this is a Democratic proposal, given that the highest-profile incidents of "police brutality" that Democrats seem to think is suddenly on an epidemic scale in the nation seem to crop up mainly in cities where Democrats have been in control for decades. Minneapolis, for instance, where Floyd died and where the city council now wants to disband the police force, is made up entirely of Democrats but for one Green Party member.
New York City, where a black vendor of illegal cigarettes named Eric Garner died after being arrested by police back in 2014, is staunchly Democratic.
Baltimore, where the death of a drug dealer named Freddie Gray in 2015 set off days of rioting, hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1967, as Breitbart has noted.
Its elected officials at the local and federal level (including the late Elijah Cummings) have done nothing to prevent Charm City from a descent into slums. These are just a few examples, and every American, Democrat and Republican, knows the truth.
Yet Democrats see themselves as the force to reform American police agencies? The reality is that the party is throwing anything it can at Trump and the possibility he will serve another term in the White House.
The three-year national nightmare known as the "Russia collusion" probe came up deservedly empty. The impeachment affair from the first month of the year was so ludicrous it's almost hard to remember — at a remove of six months — the exact lies Rep. Adam Schiff and Co. were peddling.
When the coronavirus hit, Democrats thought they had their issue, but Trump's handling of it compared far too favorably with other world leaders — and especially favorably to the obvious ineptitude of Democratic governors like New York's Andrew Cuomo and rumored Democratic vice presidential possibility Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.
So now Pelosi's Democrats have turned to the death of George Floyd and a national outbreak of looting and violence to try to convince American voters that the real problem the country has is racist police officers. It's a desperate attempt to rally a dispirited Democratic base in time to win a 2020 election in which Democrats have pinned their hopes on a 77-year-old Joe Biden whose chief strength in the Democratic primaries was that he wasn't Bernie Sanders.
He's a man with a lifetime's worth of political baggage, including the 1994 crime bill that Democrats despise today and a questionable past with China, not to mention endless accusations of improper behavior with women, as well as one serious claim of sexual assault.
Pelosi's career has made clear for years that there's really no depth she will not lower herself for the sake of political power — for herself and her party. On Monday, in the Capitol's Emancipation Hall, she did it literally, for the whole world to see. And every voter needs to remember it in November.

Of course, there were a few liberal knuckleheads ready to jump in with irrelevant jibes (there was at least one mocking comparison to President Donald Trump's visit to St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., for instance).
But the overwhelming majority of comments were approving — and grateful.
At a time when Americans are being assaulted daily with lies about the nation's supposedly "racist" police forces based on the actions of the tiniest sliver of their membership, and watching as liberal politicians attack the men and women who actually protect law and order, a statement of quiet dignity and faith like the one out of Georgia carries weight.
In the over-inflated, and clearly manipulated reactions to the death of George Floyd in Minnesota on May 25, protesters across the country have screamed for police to kneel with them as a gesture of conciliation, as Fox News has reported. (Bizarrely, even that peaceful move is drawing heat from progressives now, according to ABC News.)
But one state trooper, with a respectful demeanor and gentle logic that only added strength to his words, gave the answer that every law enforcement officer — and every American — should take to heart.
For free Americans, kneeling is reserved for one power only — and that's not the rabble of Black Lives Matter movement.

White House Responds Brilliantly to Baltimore Mayor's Criticism Over Trump's Memorial Day Visit
Reported By Joe Saunders | Published May 25, 2020 at 8:48am

The mayor of Baltimore wasn't holding the president back.
President Donald Trump went ahead Monday with a planned Memorial Day visit to historic Fort McHenry, despite criticism from Mayor Bernard C. "Jack" Young, who said the trip sets a poor example amid the coronavirus crisis.
"Dear Mr. President@realDonaldTrump, please stay home!" Young tweeted Thursday. "The City of Baltimore is currently under a Stay at Home order for the safety of our residents, who have been hit hard by #COVID19.
The White House wasn't buying it for a second, and Trump was en route to the city late Monday morning.
"The brave men and women who have preserved our freedoms for generations did not stay home and the president will not either as he honors their sacrifice by visiting such a historic landmark in our nation's history," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Fort McHenry is the scene of the battle during the War of 1812 that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that became "The Star-Spangled Banner."
While the national anthem in recent years has become more of a polarizing issue then a unifying one, thanks to showboating NFL protesters, disgruntled women's soccer players and a consistently craven liberal media, Trump has never been shy about signaling his support for the song.
And while it's true that Trump has had his own tangles with Democratic leaders of Baltimore (particularly the late Rep. Elijah Cummings), for an American president on Memorial Day, visiting the site that inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner" is as natural as his planned visit earlier Monday to Arlington National Cemetery.
While much of the social media responses to Trump's planned trip to Charm City included the usual liberal cesspool of abuse (even after three years of the Trump presidency, it only gets more vile), the president had plenty of supporters online.

Fortunately, not all Maryland elected officials have a knee-jerk anti-Trump attitude. Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, was not planning to attend Trump's visit because he was spending the day with his family and celebrating his 64th birthday, the Sun reported Monday. But last week, according to a Thursday Sun report, Hogan's spokesman welcomed the president's presence.
"We are honored that the president and first lady have chosen to spend Memorial Day at Fort McHenry," Hogan communications director Mike Ricci said, according to the Sun. "Although Marylanders are encouraged not to gather in large numbers this year — now more than ever — it's important to reflect on the American heroes who sacrificed their lives for our freedom."
Democrats and the mainstream media might do well to remember that honoring those American heroes is what Memorial Day is supposed to be about. For Trump to do that with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, the resting place of so many of those heroes, followed by a trip to the birthplace of the American national anthem isn't just appropriate, it's just about perfect.
And the mayor of Baltimore can't hold the president back.

This group of people have often had traumatic lives and experiences leading to them spending time in out of area placements, forensic or offending histories and a lack of effective therapeutic input.
More about trauma informed services
To enable the team to provide the best support to our customers, our model has oversight from a psychologist. They provide practice leadership and guidance to the team to develop and deliver a psychologically informed service based on CBT, DBT or CAT. This model focuses on developing psychologically informed formulations, which are used to develop our support plans and relationships with customers. These are also used to inform workforce development and reflective practice is embedded within the service.
The service is managed by a mental health nurse to enable us to rapidly respond to escalation of need and reduce crisis and distress for customers, linking appropriately with statutory services. Key to this role is responsibility for formulating and managing clinical risk for each customer, in partnership with the psychologist, and providing direction on multi-layered risk management plans.
Within the model we provide occupational therapy either through a dedicated member of the team or from our central clinical team. This enables each customer to have a bespoke skills development strategy, with the team delivering a coordinated approach with practice leadership and clinical coaching from an occupational therapist. This aims to enhance participation, optimise occupational performance and independence and promote engagement in meaningful and purposeful activity.
The service has a number of features:
• An integrated model that supports a highly skilled and supported team, working in a trauma informed and psychologically informed framework
• Psychological framework informed by Cognitive Analytic Therapy
• Clinical colleagues will be embedded in the team enabling swift response to escalation of risk and crisis
• Integrated mental health nursing to manage complex medication, with support and understanding of complex mental health difficulties
• High quality care and support assessment and delivered through our LIFE support model, with person-centred planning, a strengths-based approach and psychologically informed practice
• Positive Behavioural Support from our central clinical team
• Improved health outcomes, addressing inequalities and enabling customers to navigate and access to mainstream health services.
The benefits of our service include:
A new home- long term or lifetime homes for customers within their local community.

Our social prescribing offer is for GPs and other healthcare professionals to tackle non-medical needs, social isolation and loneliness.
More about the service
More about social prescribing
Home Group has responded to this growing need by developing and delivering a social prescribing offer. Our service enables healthcare professionals to refer patients to local, non-clinical services to meet their wellbeing needs. The services are available locally and how they work together will determine what the patient will be able to participate in.
Support is as varied as the individuals who need it - everything from groups of friends meeting for a chat, peer support groups, online communities, clubs and informal hobby or activity groups, to sports, arts and culture activities as well as more traditional charity services such as information, advice and advocacy.
Person centred care, underpinned by evidence, which supports people to lead fuller, happier lives
Building capacity within community based services which reduces demand and releases capacity from the acute sector and in-patient beds
Co-produced integrated services with our health, local government and voluntary sector partners around the needs of the person, to improve their outcomes and support them to achieve and sustain wellbeing
Services which incorporate psychological therapies by building skills and capacity in our workforce.

Nobody starts out in a sport, discipline, or relationship saying, "Wow, I hope this doesn't go well!" Or, "I hope I'm difficult to work with!" It's not our intention in the beginning. When we fall or fail, usually something happened along the way that took us off course. If we don't see these distractions, it is because we have become inattentive to our own lives.
As pastors, we aren't immune to such blind spots. One of these potential blind spots is how we work with our volunteers. The latest research from Barna shows that most pastors are not interested in developing leaders that much.1 Evidently, we're more interested in what we get out of volunteers than what we put into them. We have our plan, and we want them to come along with us and move it forward. The coaching posture is not there.
It doesn't have to be that way. In fact, what you find is that when you help volunteers grow personally, your ministry will bear more fruit. Jesus focused on people in His ministry, and it flourished. Two of the best ways you can be people-focused are by helping volunteers become more self-aware, which involves helping them improve their emotional intelligence, and by helping them avoid common temptations.
Why should volunteers develop self-awareness?
I do a lot of highway driving. The other day I was about to merge, and had I not looked over my shoulder, I would have hit someone. The other driver was entering the same lane I was. If I hadn't checked my blind spot, we would have collided and crashed.
If our volunteers don't have the humility to check their own personal blind spots, they're vulnerable to collisions and maybe even crashes. A crash in ministry could cause a lot of damage. When God's work is on the line, we all need to watch out for such hazards. We've all seen it happen, and we know it can affect a lot of people.
I found as a pastor that if I slow down and spend more time listening to volunteers' opinions, then I'm able to recognize the things they care about. I'm able to hear patterns of thought and values or goals that might need to be addressed. That style of listening is important. My hunch is somebody has told most pastors that we're not necessarily the best listeners. We're used to talking a lot and leading a lot. But listening is the key to helping volunteers understand themselves.
If we pay better attention to volunteers, they learn to pay better attention to themselves. When that becomes habitual, they start to notice things differently. They observe little things going on inside that reveal a lot.
Noticing automatic emotional and physical reactions is key in growing in self-awareness. These responses are actually well-ordered reactions to stimuli around us. Maybe no one sees the little ways we react to situations. Our shoulders tighten, our stomachs may clench, or we may even shake our heads without saying anything. These reactions happen whether or not anyone is looking or listening. And they provide a lot of great information if we are attentive to them.
What I tell my volunteers is, "Imagine you're taking a selfie of that reaction in that moment." Take a picture of that emotional reaction, all of its details, and then save it for later. Then, when you're alone you can prayerfully consider: "Why did I react that way? What was I feeling? Why did I feel blocked?" The data from that helps them understand what's beneath the surface causing them to feel, act, or think a certain way.
Self-awareness in this way isn't just for personal satisfaction. When I was in youth ministry, we carefully planned the curriculum. We plotted out what subjects we wanted the students to learn. I finally learned that my volunteers and I were a significant part of the curriculum. The students were studying us, and they knew our reactions almost better than we did. Awareness of this helped us be as mindful of ourselves as the students were.
If volunteers are going to understand themselves more fully, they will need to have high emotional intelligence. Much can be said on that topic, but when it comes to leading volunteers, I have found four major areas are helpful to dive into.
For starters, encourage people to "put a sentry at the door" of their hearts. The Bible says, "Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips" (Psalm 141:3). But before something even gets to our lips, it resides in our hearts (Luke 6:45). Encourage your volunteers to watch what goes in and out of their hearts. What feelings reside there? What thoughts and words want to come out?
Second, help volunteers name and label their emotions accurately. Starting this is not that difficult. Grab a cup of coffee with a volunteer. Ask him or her about something, watch the person's reaction, and say, "It sounds like you're feeling …" and fill in the blank. Give the volunteer opportunity to agree or to clarify. After you've both gained more awareness, ask the volunteer to practice this with others.
Next, help volunteers recognize the intensity of their emotions. Doctors use a pain scale from 1 to 10 to understand their patients' subjective experiences. We can ask similar questions to understand the magnitude of someone's emotional reaction. That is important information for learning about what's important to the person; there is a lot to learn from relationships and situations that generate highly intense emotions. When they know how they feel, they'll start to understand how feelings might affect others. That leads to my final point.
If leaders are to become emotionally intelligent, they can't focus on just their own emotions. Urge them to expand their attention to others' feelings and reactions. This is where leaders really start to mature. And since they're all part of a team, that matters. Just like a basketball team needs to know where everyone is on the court, ministry teams need to know what's going on with each member of the team. Otherwise they're at risk of going it alone and not accomplishing the team's goals.
My family was traveling some back roads in South Africa a while back. These drivers went incredibly fast in their trucks at night. Our job was to shine bright lights into the darkness. The moment we saw something shine back, we would yell, "Stop!" to the driver. He would back up the truck, and we would shine the lights to see what was looking back at us from the darkness.
These guys were experienced enough to know by the shape and shine of the eyes what it was and what to do. Do you see where I'm going with this metaphor?
We need to shine the light of Christ and the light of Scripture into the darker spaces in our hearts. We need to check for shiny little eyes pointing back at us. When we see them, we need to be mature and humble enough to shout, "Stop!" and take steps back. And we may need a guide to help us identify what we're seeing and what to do to avoid danger.
These are the five common temptations your team should look for. They lurk in wait for people of all ages. When we shine Christ's light into our hearts, we are looking for hints of these things. If we see them, we need to stop, take inventory, and make changes.
Prominence: The desire to be important, popular, bigger, and better.
Control: The desire to be in the lead and to shape situations in dramatic ways.
Shiny stuff: The allure of materialism captivates some of us.
Inappropriate intimacy: The desire to have intimacy outside of God's confines (from flirtation to fascination).
Relishing resentment: The desire to hold onto bitterness for too long and to embrace anger and hostility.
Do you help your volunteers look into the dark places of their hearts? Do you ask them specific questions to help them shine light into the dark places of their hearts? We all face these temptations. It's important we seek to understand—and overcome—them together.
When we internalize the habits of self-awareness, something else grows within us. We become curious. This is such a healthy attribute because it requires humility. We cannot be curious without acknowledging our lack of knowledge or without having an openness to learn. Therefore, this trait serves us well in our lives and in ministry.

Are you looking for research opportunities on pediatric cancers?
The miRCADE team (MicroRNAs in Cancer and Development) is a young team created early 2016 by the INSERM and HCERES. Members include senior researchers from the INSERM, CNRS, faculty from the University of Bordeaux and Polytech Institute of Bordeaux and many young international talents (postdoctorate, PhD and MS students). We study biological and molecular processes of oncogenesis in many bad prognosis pediatric and adult cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, nephroblastoma and diffuse pontine gliomas.
The team uses several technical approaches and in vivo models (mouse, chick embryo, xenopus) to study many oncogenic pathways and processes including the role of microRNAs, epigenetics, metabolism, resistance to drugs and some specific signaling pathways such as Wnt, Fanconi anemia, and ERK. For instance, we have patented the use of microRNA in cancer and shown that Velcade (a proteasome inhibitor) may be a new therapeutic option for highly proliferative hepatoblastoma. The team initiated some collaborative efforts aiming at the design and the evaluation of a novel generation of targeted prodrugs capable of achieving more effective and less toxic therapeutic benefits in both pediatric and adult cancers.
Under a highly anticipated regional efforts which culminate in the creating of a new cancer center in the beautiful and legendary city of Bordeaux (2022-2026), the team is intended to strengthen its presence and expand its activities. Indeed, the team will be looking forward to hosting more talented young as well as confirmed researchers. The candidates are expected to bring or initiate research projects with a fundamental, translational or technological dimension in line with our themes of investigations. Bringing new concepts or biotechnological tools will be highly appreciated (e.g. organoid, immunotherapy, high resolution microscopy).
