Complete Content Lifecycle Management in a Single Place
Rosie Fan
Egnyte's content lifecycle management solution gives customers full control and flexibility over content at all stages of its lifecycle, from migration of data into Egnyte to managing retention, archival and deletion, and end of life content.
Unlike point solutions, Egnyte provides a robust product suite that addresses consolidation of content across repositories, management of content within Egnyte, and content that should be archived. Here's a quick recap of what's included.
Migration
Egnyte's full suite of migration capabilities make it easier to migrate data into Egnyte from the most popular cloud storage devices like Box, Google Drive, and more.
While customers sometimes tend to think of migration as a one-time event, this is often not the case—with merger and acquisition activities, content lifecycle audits, planned content migrations, or even migration of physical offices, it becomes even more important to ensure you can quickly and easily migrate content anytime. Egnyte's tools even allow customers to go through the migration process themselves, freeing up administrative overhead and time spent on coordination.
Retention, Archival, and Deletion
With Egnyte, it's easier to know what sensitive information your content may contain and to manage the existence of that content. Egnyte provides multiple ways to archive and delete data: from ad-hoc, one-off occasions like subject access requests to using intelligent policies to streamline and automate the process.
The content lifecycle management dashboard also provides insights, reporting, and analytics at a glance. This allows you to quickly perform audits—like seeing where stale data lives in your domain—and take action.
Whether it's project closures, regular audits, or part of a larger cleanup initiative, it's important to have a plan in place for when content is at the end of its life. For companies looking to reduce risk or storage costs, Egnyte provides everything customers need to get started. With multiple ways to move data from an active domain to an archival domain, Egnyte has simplified the process of ensuring ROTS (redundant, obsolete, trivial, and stale) data is stored where it should. An archival domain is even included with Egnyte's Content Lifecycle Management package to make the transition seamless and pain-free.

Hello! Today I have another no heat hairstyle for you! I love curling my hair, but it is very time consuming, especially if you have long hair! This hairstyle only takes about 5 minutes to do, and gives you great curls overnight! Let's get started!
Start off with hair that is about 90% dry. You want to make sure that your hair is not so damp that it won't dry by the morning. I just wet my hands a little and ran them through my hair.
The next thing you are going to do is put the headband around your head, on top of your hair. Make sure that the headband is above your ears and pull it down almost to your neck.
Then, divide your hair into 2 sections. Take the first piece and just start wrapping around the headband.
Combine the section that you just wrapped with more hair, and keep wrapping.
Keep wrapping the hair until you get the the back, and the start with the front of the other section.
Keep wrapping the sections of hair until all of the pieces are wrapped around the band. Then spray it with hairspray, and go to bed!
I ran some of this Super Skinny Serum through and it helped with the frizz.
So, as you can see, this hairstyle gives you really tight curls. You can take bigger sections of hair and wrap them for looser curls. These curls did not fall at all. I love this style, and it was so much easier than using a curling iron!
Hope you guys liked this no-heat hair! Let me know if you try it!
OMG, that is so cute! And I love your style of writing! I can really see your personality shine through! I miss you!!
My hair already looks like that when I wake up in the morning. I use my flat iron to make it look like your hair before you curled it! It's a pretty look for you though! I've never seen your hair so curly!

Tag: claire foy
Starring: Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley and Rooney Mara
Directed by: Sarah Polley
United Artists Releasing
Our Score: 4.5 out of 5 stars
George Carlin once said, "There's no such thing as rights. They're imaginary. We made 'em up. Like the boogie man." I open my review with that quote for two reasons. First being that 2022 was the year that women experienced the loss of their body autonomy rights. Second being that the women in "Women Talking," never had rights because of the boogie man.
"Women Talking" opens with a group of women in an unnamed religious colony discussing the revelation over the prior days/weeks that ghosts or Satan aren't behind the drugging and raping they're experiencing. Nope. It's the men who live among them. Their friends, their neighbors, their fathers, their spouses, etc. For years, those men have been the ones who have been drugging the women so that they can sneak in at night and rape them only to tell them the next day it's the boogie man. With this revelation, something has to happen, right? The men are caught and arrested, but the rapists post bail and are on their way back home as if nothing happened. The women at this discussion represent different houses of thought on what to do before the rapists return. Some women believe they should do nothing and continue to be the subservient class in this community. Others believe it's time to stay and get their fists and noses bloodied. A good portion believe that it's simply time to leave.
Unfortunately the above scenario is not the work of Hollywood, it is based on a book written by Miriam Toews, a former Mennonite girl who fled her Canadian Mennonite community when she turned 18. "Women Talking" isn't looking to bash one of the more peculiar sects of Christianity though. Outside of showing the horrific reality that women are still second-class citizens in portions of the world, "Women Talking" also examines a very key question in trauma, "What now?" The three options above spur fascinating on-screen discussions that cross the proverbial universe of these women. The revelations are handled differently, with some women still drinking the flavor aid that the best option is to ignore the crimes because…God's "wishes?" Other women want to leave, but then wonder if that means taking their children. Some of their children are boys, does that mean their boys will grow up to become rapist monsters? Do they leave the boys? Can any man be trusted? If the women stay and fight, how will the community as a whole react? What will stop the men from banding together and retaliating if it's a war between the sexes?
A film like "Women Talking," which thankfully spares the audience the visuals of the rapes, relies heavily on its actors and script, and both are a cannon shot across the bow. Not only are the perpetrators called out in the story, but the real world is called into question by these discussions. I could break down the stellar performances and moments, but "Women Talking" is truly a film that demands attention and silences you with the power of words. At times the film is an emotional wrecking ball, making the words of these women more powerful than any scene featuring the crimes themselves. The casting is truly spotless because even the lone man (played by Ben Wishaw) in the community, who is helping the women by keeping record of their discussions and chiming in when called upon, adds emotional layers to the women debating something they've probably never debated or even discussed before.
In a lot of ways, "Women Talking" plants its feet in the past and in the present day. In some regards you can view the film as a historic look at how women finally release themselves from the shackles of their oppressors to give rise to a movement and help create the birth of a new society, one in which both sexes are equal. You can also see the modern commentary hidden in the tearful debates between our characters. Either that or the old idiom is true, history is doomed to repeat itself. Foy, Buckley and Mara lead the way for this ensemble cast tasked with not only conveying a powerful message, but doing it in a riveting way where the viewer will either find themselves teary eyed, aghast or silent. For some viewers, those who have already seen the movie, "Women Talking" bookended a rough 2022 for women in America, and for some viewers, this film is your rallying cry in 2023.

LERA LYNN
From the HBO original series 'True Detective'
A PAGAN PRODUCTIONS EVENT.
Special guest: Brian Whelan
Singer-songwriter Lera Lynn, born in Texas, raised in Georgia, and now based in Nashville, self-released her sophomore album, The Avenues (out now), which continues to receive praise and critical acclaim from many sources. The album was covered by NPR's popular "All Things Considered," and appeared in the "Top 50 Albums of the Year" from American Songwriter (ranking #14), Rolling Stone, Huffington Post and numerous other "Best Albums of the Year" lists.
In 2014, Lynn started working with legendary producer T Bone Burnett writing and recording music for the critically acclaimed HBO series, TRUE DETECTIVE. Lynn is also featured as the recurring bar singer in TRUE DETECTIVE, performing at "The Black Rose," the dingy dive bar where characters Ray and Frank often meet to discuss their private business dealings. T Bone describes Lynn's role saying, "She's significant in there," and explains how "The Black Rose" and the scenes therein are "…the beating heart of the show… that bar is where TRUE DETECTIVE happens. That's the psychosphere. Something feels very central about it."
Electromagnetic Recordings/Harvest Records in partnership with HBO will release TRUE DETECTIVE MUSIC FROM THE HBO SERIES on August 14. Lynn's first single from the album, "The Only Thing Worth Fighting For" written by Lynn, Rosanne Cash and TBone Burnett, got fans buzzing when it bowed in the teaser video for Season 2 of TRUE DETECTIVE. The teaser has now surpassed 35 million views since it's release. As the show progresses, more original music is released with each episode, often featuring a new Lera Lynn release.

Here, learn about the legal significance of stepparent adoption. The article also outlines the requirements, process, and costs involved in filing a stepparent adoption case in Texas, including termination of parental rights, where to file, and who can file the case.

Does the child have to live with the stepparent before the adoption is granted?
Will the judge automatically approve (order) the stepparent adoption?
Will I be able to access the adoption records once the case is closed?
Where can I read the laws about stepparent adoption?
An adult who is the stepparent of a child younger than 18 can file a stepparent adoption case. The child's parent (the stepparent's spouse) must join as a petitioner in the adoption case. See Texas Family Code 162.001(b)(2).
Yes. Stepparent adoptions in Texas require an order terminating parental rights between the child to be adopted and the parent of the child that is not the stepparent's spouse. The stepparent's spouse (the child's other parent) will join as a petitioner in the adoption case and will not have their parental rights terminated.
Note: If the child needs an order of termination of parental rights before the child is eligible to be adopted, the courts allow the termination and adoption cases to be filed together as one case. The termination and adoption happen in the same court hearing. Talk with a family law lawyer about what is needed for your case.
File the adoption case in either of the following courts in the county where the child lives or where the petitioners (the adults filing the adoption suit) live:
District court, or
Statutory county court with jurisdiction over family law cases
Read the law here: Texas Family Code 103.001(b).
There are two ways to start a stepparent adoption case, depending on whether a parent-child relationship exists between the child and the child's other parent (that is not married to the stepparent):
If the child's other parent is alive and there is no court order of termination of parental rights between the child and the child's other parent, file an Original Petition to Terminate Parent-Child Relationship and for Stepparent Adoption
If the child's other parent is deceased or there is a court order of termination of parental rights between the child and the child's other parent, file an Original Petition for Adoption.
Note: TexasLawHelp.org does not provide stepparent adoption forms. Talk with a family law lawyer for help starting a stepparent adoption case.
Yes. When you file for termination and adoption, or for adoption, you must usually pay a filing fee. The fee varies by county. Contact the district clerk's office or the statutory county court with jurisdiction over family law cases in the court where you will file the adoption case to learn the fees.
If you don't have enough money to pay the fees, you can ask a judge to waive the fees by completing and filing a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs. Read Court Fees and Fee Waivers.
A petitioner is a person who files, or opens, a lawsuit. In a stepparent adoption case, there are two petitioners:
The child's stepparent asking the court for the adoption order, and
The stepparent's spouse (the child's parent whose rights will not be terminated).
Note: Even though the child's parent who is married to the stepparent already has a parent-child relationship with the child, the law says that the stepparent's spouse must also join in the adoption case as a petitioner.
The child's other parent (if living) whose parental rights will be terminated, and anyone with a court-ordered relationship with the child.
A respondent is a person who is served with a lawsuit. (Read about serving initial court papers in family law cases.)
If the termination is agreed upon, the parent whose rights will be terminated should sign an "Affidavit of Voluntary Relinquishment of Parental Rights." This affidavit may state that no service is necessary. See Texas Family Code 161.103(c)(1).
Note: If the child's only living parent (other than the stepparent's spouse) has already had their rights terminated, then the child's terminated parent is not listed as a respondent in the adoption case.
Yes. There may be a couple of times you have to go to court in a termination and adoption case.
The court may order an adoption evaluation to evaluate each party requesting the parent-child relationship's termination or an adoption suit. See Texas Family Code 107.153 and Texas Family Code 162.003. The court may also order the appointment of an attorney ad litem to represent the child(ren) in the case. See Texas Family Codes 107.003 and 107.004. You can ask the judge to order one or the other. Sometimes though, the judge may order both. You must go to court to make these requests after the case is opened.
The petitioners and the child to be adopted (if the child is age 12 or older) must go to court for the adoption hearing.
Note: If you can show it would be "unduly difficult" for one of the joint petitioners to attend the court hearing, the court may waive the requirement for one of the petitioners to participate in the hearing if the other petitioner can attend. The court may also waive the requirement that a child age 12 years or older must attend if waiving the requirement is in the best interest of the child. Read the law here: Texas Family Code 162.014.
If the child is 12 years of age or older, the child must consent to the adoption in writing or in court. Read the law here: Texas Family Code 162.010(c).
If the child is ten years of age or older and the adoption will change the child's name, the child must consent to the name change in writing. See Texas Family Code 45.002(b).
Note: The court may waive this requirement if it is in the child's best interest.
A stepparent adoption (or a combined termination and adoption case):
Terminates the parent-child relationship between the child and the child's other parent
Can terminate any other court-ordered relationship over the child
Makes the adopted child the son or daughter of the stepparent
Appoints the remaining parent and stepparent managing conservators of the child
Ends the child support obligation of the terminated parent, except that any child support arrears still must be paid
Creates the child's right to inherit from the stepparent (Note: The termination and adoption can either cut off the child's right to inherit from or through the adopted child's other biological parent or the child's right to inherit can remain in place.)
Can change the adopted child's name (if requested)
Allows the parents to get the child a new birth certificate by completing the Certificate of Adoption form and giving it to the district clerk. Read New Birth Certificate Based on Adoption.
The law says that a child must live with the petitioner for at least six months before the court may grant an adoption. However, an exception applies if the petitioner asks the court to waive this requirement and finds that this requirement is not in the child's best interest. Read the law here: Texas Family Code 162.009.
No. Adoption requires the court to make several findings:
First, the child must be eligible to be adopted by having the child's other parent's parental rights terminated (if the child's other parent is alive and has not already had their parental rights terminated by court order). For more information on the termination of parental rights, read Terminating Parental Rights.
Next, a judge must find the requirements for adoption have been satisfied and filed with the court. Some of the requirements include (there may be others particular to your case or ordered by your court):
An adoption evaluation. See Texas Family Code 107.153 and Texas Family Code 162.003. Some courts require the adoption evaluation to be completed by a person from the court's list. Check with the court clerk if this is a local rule of your court.
The results of the criminal history reports of the petitioners.
A signed and verified affidavit concerning compliance (or noncompliance if it doesn't apply) with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children.
Depending on the circumstances of your case and the parties' interests, the court may require the following:
The appointment of an attorney ad litem, guardian ad litem, or amicus attorney. Read the law here: Texas Family Code 107.021.
A child custody evaluation. Read the law here: Texas Family Code 107.103. Talk with a family law lawyer familiar with the court where you will file the adoption petition about the likelihood of this being required in your case.
A CPS Central Registry Check.
A certificate from the Texas Paternity Registry ensures no other man has claimed paternity of the child. Finally, the judge must find that the adoption is in the child's best interest.
Most petitions for termination and adoption will include a request to seal the records after the case is closed. This means the records will not be available as public records.
You can ask the judge to order that the adoption records remain open to you, your spouse (the other petitioner), and also your attorney, if you have one.
Read the laws about stepparent adoption in Chapter 162 of the Texas Family Code and Texas Family Code 102.005.

Matt Gaetz Will Be 'De Facto' Speaker After McCarthy Concessions
Courtesy: Politico
Former President Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon stated Friday that Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz would be the "de facto" House speaker in the next Congress. His statements came after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy made a crucial concession to conservatives who were critical of his speakership candidacy, CNN reported Friday, citing Republican sources familiar with McCarthy's private meetings with GOP lawmakers.
In a phone interview on Saturday, Bannon told Newsweek that Gaetz had "no chance" of becoming House Speaker. However, he noted that the Florida Republican and Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene will be the "de facto" speakers or "the speaker in fact [but] not in actuality" of the House. McCarthy, a Republican from California, has agreed to lower the bar for members to request a floor vote, known as a motion to vacate, to oust a sitting speaker.
The House Republican leader is hoping that this move would help him gain the support of his critics. According to Politico, members of the House Freedom Caucus have long advocated for such a compromise, which would weaken McCarthy's position if he were to become speaker.
McCarthy was amenable to a five-person barrier during internal discussions with lawmakers, according to CNN. The Republican House majority is now anticipated to call for a resolution to remove the speaker from the chair, with some conservatives advocating for a single member to compel such a vote. Norman told CNN that the so-called motion to vacate threshold should be reduced to two or less, but Gatez thinks McCarthy should lower it to one.
Gaetz is one of the Republicans who oppose McCarthy's quest for speaker, claiming that the GOP leader is not meeting the party's goals completely. Meanwhile, Greene recently announced her support for McCarthy and committed to voting for him, a move that political expert Joseph Uscinski believes is intended to give her more clout in Congress. On Saturday, Bannon listed some of the likely reasons why some Republican members are criticizing McCarthy.
"The issue with Kevin, it's not that people don't like him, Kevin is very well-liked. It has nothing to do with that," Bannon told Newsweek. "It has to do with reality, what does the Republican Party stand for. What does MAGA stand for and how we're going to sort this situation out?" MAGA is an acronym for "Make America Great Again" that Trump repeatedly used as a campaign slogan at his rallies.
Bannon added that one of the big concerns that McCarthy's critics have is what he really stands for. "Over the last 48, 72 hours, people are saying, 'Well hold it. This guy is prepared to give away things he'd never said [he would],'" Bannon said. He added that McCarthy "under no circumstances" will "ever take the speakership" while having "to do it by giving up motion to vacate because he would never really have the freedom to do what he wants to do."
The former Trump adviser described the discussion around the speakership as a "proxy war" between the "corporatist" side of the Republican Party and the "populace face of MAGA." "That's what this fight is about," he said. "And it's exemplified by obviously the hard-right versus…the corporate wing of the party."

At first I´d like to talk about sports and games in general. They are one of the most popular leisure time activities. This is mainly due to the fact that they help people to keep fit both physically and mentally. As we say: "A sound mind in a sound body". People started to do sports and play games many years ago, but the biggest boom was in this century. With coming of new technologies people got new possibilities and new ideas how to spend their spare time. The main difference between sports and games is that games (football) are collective and sports are more individual (swimming).
People do the sports because they want to keep fit, build their muscles and make their body better for look. It is also very good kind of relaxation. During sports events we can meet a lot of new people. It is even more enjoyable to have somebody to do some sport with. The majority of people do the sports as a hobby but some people do the sport as a job – professional sportsmen, coaches.
Millions of people also like to attend matches, watch them on TV or listen to them on the radio to cross their fingers for their favourite team. Some of them also like to bet on match results.
There are lots of types of sports and games. Generally we can divide sports into two groups according to where they can be practised – outdoor or indoor sports. We can do outdoor or indoor sports in, under or above water, wind and the earth. Shortly – anywhere we want.
When we consider climate conditions, these sports are usually seasonal.
Of course, games (such as football) are usually all-season activities, and they may be practised both indoors and outdoors.
When you want to do some sport or play a game first you need to know the rules. If you don't know it you may be sent off the play or you don't achieve the best score you could. Rules are very specific for different kinds of sports, but I think that all the sports have in common that they don't tolerate any anabolic steroids and other substances which may affect results of sportsmen.
You usually need some special equipment for doing a certain sport.
On the other hand for some sports you don't need nearly anything, just your body (e.g. swimming – just swimsuit).
There are a lot of places and sports facilities where it's possible to do some exercise – sports halls, open air stadiums, swimming pools, open air pools, gyms, playgrounds, tennis courts etc.
Many sports have their origins in Britain that is why Britain is sometimes called the cradle of sports. Cricket, two types of rugby, modern game of hockey, darts, tennis or boxing was invented in Britain. Golf, also called the sport of rich people, has its origins in Scotland.
Cricket – often called national sport, it has never spread in foreign countries, it is intensively played only in the UK, Australia and some other Commonwealth countries; it is played on a cricket field of approximately size of two pitches, two teams of 11 members, they use cricket-bat and a small leather-ball. It's interesting that one match might last even three days.
Football – the most popular game in the UK. There are a great number of clubs. Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea belong among the most famous. The Football League is English football championship and it's the oldest competition in world football.
Here are other major sports events which take place in Britain – Wimbledon (the oldest and the most famous Grand Slam Tennis Tournament), The British Open Golf Championship, The Grand National (it is the best known horse-race steeplechase, in the Czech republic there is one similar, the Velká Pardubická).
In the USA most sports and games have been commercialized. There are the four most popular professional games: American football, baseball, basketball, and ice hockey. These games are turned into big shows in which the sports stars make a lot of money. Each of them has its own national competition. Football teams across the country compete for the grand prize in the Superbowl. Baseball teams strive to win in the World Series. In basketball, the highest achievement is to win the NBA Championship. In ice hockey there's the Stanley Cup for the winner of NHL.
Popular sports in the Czech Republic are for instance football, ice-hockey, tennis, volleyball. I think that our little country is the most known due to our excellent sportsmen who have achieved success in top international competitions.
There are other very important sports events where the most talented sportsmen can take part in. The Olympic Games (the Olympics) are the most famous-they are held every four years, they have their summer and winter parts which change (alternate) once every two years. Most successful sportsmen may obtain a gold, silver or bronze medal.
Some other important sports events are the World and European Championships and Cups in various sports.
I like doing sports. I enjoy winter sports the most. My father taught me skiing when I was 3. I used to ski till I tried snowboarding when I was on winter course with my primary school. I go to mountains every year and I think I am getting better and better at it. In winter I also visit spinning classes at the fitness centre which is near my house.
I like spending time outdoors so I enjoy outdoor sports like cycling and hiking, especially with my friends. Sometimes I go also rollerblading or jogging. When weather isn't really nice I don't mind playing some games indoors – squash, badminton. My huge passion is swimming and diving, that´s why I love travelling to sea.
We do different sports in our P.E. classes. I like doing athletics and playing ball games in the gym.
My huge dream is to try tandem jump, so let's hope I'll make it!

Arrests - Arrest Warrants, Arrests Based on Probable Cause, & Notices to Appear
You have a right to remain silent. So invoke your right!
After a criminal investigation is concluded in Florida, the police officer decides whether to make an arrest based on probable cause. There are two ways that a police officer can make an arrest. First, in some cases, the officer can arrest without a warrant based on probable cause. Second, an officer can seek an arrest warrant signed by a judge, who determines that there is probable cause in the case.
What is probable cause?
Probable cause is not defined in Florida, but is generally understood to mean that the evidence is more likely than not that the person committed the crime. The evidence can come in the form of an affidavit, complaint or deposition of a law enforcement officer. Typically, this is the arrest warrant or the arrest and booking report.
Florida arrest warrants must be in writing, setting forth substantially the nature of the offense, commanding the person to be arrested, with the person's name (or if unknown, with a reasonable certain description), the date issued, the county, and must be signed by a judge with the amount of bail and return date.
Typically, a police officer will go to the State Attorney's Office and open up an arrest warrant file. They will speak with the Assistant State Attorney and together the officer and Assistant State Attorney will draft an arrest warrant. The arrest warrant will include a factual statement by the officer describing probably cause for the arrest. The police officer, and/or the Assistant State Attorney will then take the arrest warrant affidavit to a judge. The judge will review the affidavit and if the judge believes that probable cause is established in the affidavit, will issue an arrest warrant. The judge will also assign a bond, usually upon recommendation of the police officer and/or assistant state attorney. Once the person is arrested, they can post the bond and get out of jail without going in front of a judge. Some charges require that no bond be set and that the person go before a judge within 24 hours for a First Appearance.
ARREST WITHOUT A WARRANT
In some cases, police officers can make a Florida arrest without an arrest warrant. The officer must have probable cause to believe the person committed the crime. Within 24 hours, a judge will review the evidence to make sure that there is probable cause.
Authorization to arrest a citizen without an arrest warrant is found in Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 901.15.
An officer may arrest a person without a warrant when:
the person committed a felony or misdemeanor or municipal or country ordinance violation in the presence of the officer,
the officer reasonably believes that the person committed a felony that was actually committed,
a felony has been or is being committed and officer reasonably believes that the person committed it,
DUI, and other offenses under Chapter 316.
violation of injunction for protection,
violation of pretrial release in a domestic violence case,
child abuse,
criminal mischief,
trespass in a secure area of an airport,
assault on a law enforcement officer, firefighter, emergency medical care provider, public transit employees or agents, etc.
violation of safety zones
When a person is arrested without a warrant in Florida, that person must be brought before a judge within 24 hours of the person's arrest, for First Appearance. Often, in conjunction with the First Appearance, the judge will determine two things:
whether there is probable cause for the arrest (if the judge holds a probable cause hearing), and
what the person's bond should be.
Having a Florida criminal defense attorney at first appearance can be crucial. The criminal attorney can often save you money by seeking a lower bond or release on your own recognizance. The attorney can also challenge the probable cause.
Also, there is often tremendous pressure for people to plead guilty at first appearance. A criminal lawyer can take that pressure off of you by obtaining a bond from the court, passing the case for arraignment and helping you through the process, without the pressure of having to decide whether to plead guilty at first appearance and whether you will be punished if you decide not to plead guilty at first appearance.
NOTICE TO APPEAR
What is a Notice to Appear?
A Notice to Appear is an arrest in Florida. They don't take you down to the jail in handcuffs and book you, but it is a legal arrest all the same. It looks like a traffic ticket, but it has the same legal effect as being placed in handcuffs and taken to jail. If you do not set a court date or show up to a court date that is set, a warrant will be issued for your arrest. When you do appear at court on a Notice to Appear, you will be facing possible jail time and other collateral consequences of having a criminal charge. The charge will show up on your record just as any other arrest would. Many people do not even know that they have been charged with a criminal charge when they are issued a Notice to Appear. But here is the law:
Criminal Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.125
"... a written order issued by a law enforcement officer in lieu of physical arrest requiring a person accused of violating the law to appear in a designated court or governmental office at a specified date and time."
When will a police officer issue a Notice to Appear?
The law authorizes a police officer in limited situations to issue a notice to appear instead of taking a person to jail. An officer may issue a notice to appear if the charge is a misdemeanor or municipal ordinance violation unless the person:
fails to sufficiently identify him or herself,
refuses to sign the NTA
the officer reasonably believes the person poses an unreasonable risk of bodily injury to him or herself or others,
the person has no ties to the community or that is a substantial risk the person won't appear for court,
the officer has suspicion the person is wanted in any jurisdiction, or
the person has previously failed to appear or violated terms of pretrial release.
The key words here are may and unless. So the officer may issue a notice to appear or make an arrest. It is their choice unless any of the 6 enumerated conditions above are present. If they are, then the officer shall make an actual arrest. The original officer or a booking officer at the jail may issue an NTA. The booking officer would have to investigate the person's residence, length of residence in the community, employment record, character and mental condition, past record of convictions and past history of appearances at court proceedings.
What happens if I don't appear in court on the Notice to Appear?
If you don't appear in court, a Florida arrest warrant shall be issued.

Surigao Norte execs vow support to PGMA
Tuesday, April 01, 2008 0
The provincial government here, under the leadership of Governor Robert Ace Barbers vowed strong support to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo during her visit Friday, March 28, to deliver social services to the poorest of the poor in Malimono town.
Governor Barbers proudly presented to the Chief Executive the two manifests of support signed by the mayors and SP members in the province.
"Madam President, at this juncture, I have with me a manifest of support that I will turn-over to you later, signed by majority of our mayors in the province of Surigao del Norte and another manifest of support signed by majority of our Board Members in the province of Surigao del Norte," Barbers said.
The resolution dated March 24, thanked the Chief Executive "that the province has been a recipient of various infrastructure projects of the present administration… and by being very supportive to the vital programs of LGU-Surigao del Norte."
"Amidst these present political crises in our country we strongly believe in the leadership and capacity of Her Excellency, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to lead the nation to economic prosperity," stressed the Provincial Board's Resolution of Support approved by Gov. Robert Ace Barbers.
Meanwhile, Barbers hailed President Arroyo to be the first President who has ever visited the remote Malimono town to personally hear and see the needs of the residents.
"Let it be written in the history of this town that once upon a time, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo came here and visited this municipality," Barbers said.
Lastly, Barbers also thanked the President for all the graces that the province has so far received from the Arroyo administration.
"Madam President, thank you very much for all these graces, and all these things that you have delivered to the people of Surigao. Once again, you have proven that indeed there is true to the proverb or adage that goes 'bringing the government closer to the people,'" Barbers said. (PIA-Surigao del Norte)

Coach Frank Solich's Impact on Southeast Ohio
What makes a college football coach stand out? Is it his success on or off the field?...
This is exactly what Ohio University's Head Football Coach has done. Frank Solich hasn't been successful with just the football program alone, he has made a great impact on the Athens community and Southeast Ohio as a whole.
"He really has brought more awareness to Athens and the surrounding areas," Chris Rodgers, assistant athletic director for football operations said. "Prior to Coach Solich there was no brand recognition."
Taking over the program in 2005, Solich has led his team in several community service and charity events. They have served at local food banks, visited sick kids in the hospital, have held food drives which is donated to the Southeastern Ohio Food Bank, and have read to local elementary schools.
"He has had our football program initiate more service opportunities since he has been head coach," Ryan Bainbridge, director of player personnel and high school relations said. "It is important to us to have our staff and players interact with the community."
One of the biggest events Solich has participated in is Bobcat Caravans. Representatives of Bobcat athletics travel across Ohio, especially to surrounding communities. Their goal is to engage with fans and alumni, and bring support to OHIO athletics by giving away free prizes.
"Especially the outlying communities, like Federal Hocking or Trimble, a lot of those people aren't able to get to the university," Jeff Powell, Athens resident and lifelong Bobcat fan said. "He brings light to those communities in smaller areas who don't get to see him as much as people in Athens do."
Solich, who was just named the 2019 President of the American Football College Association, has also given the opportunity to play college football to several young men who are from Southeast Ohio. Naylan Yates from Vinton County, Hunter Edwards from Nelsonville-York, and Ryan and Adam Luehrman from Athens are just a few of the many local kids Solich has placed on his roster in his 14-year tenure.
"When they are playing or at least on the team, it gives fans from those communities a chance to come watch their hometown player play," Powell said.
Solich, a hard-worker who played and coached at Nebraska University, has always had a family mentality within his football program. During his time with OHIO football, he has had very few assistant coaches leave, has kept the same offensive and defensive coordinator all 14 years, and has always brought alumni or past players back to work for him.
"Having him be able to trust me at only 25 years old to run his recruiting department and having my back on decisions I've made has meant a great deal to my career," Bainbridge said.
Solich is 74-years-old, and it is unsure how long he will continue coaching Bobcat football. But his legacy in Athens and the surrounding communities will continue.
"He has meant so much," Powell said. "We never dreamed of beating some of the teams he has defeated, and that has allowed him to do more with the communities because everyone knows who Coach Solich is and the impact he has had."

The Dingo, the Rover and the Rhino
By words David Fletcher 21st January 2021
David Fletcher looks at the armoured cars built by Australia during World War Two
Australia used to be a long way away. It would take weeks to get there but now, thanks to modern air transport, it is a lot closer. This is why, before World War One – and to save money – Australia designed and built its own military vehicles. It was obliged to do the same in the early years of World War Two.
Because the funds were not available to buy British armoured cars, Australian authorities decided, in 1935, to build their own but could only afford one. A Ford Model BB 30cwt lorry chassis was used as the basis, powered by a four-cylinder engine. It was topped by a turreted body like a large version of the Rolls-Royce built of armour 3-4mm thick. It was nicknamed Ned Kelly and is said to have been difficult to drive, nevertheless, it remained in service until 1942.

In this experiment we have tried to understand how the pipe length, fluid flow rate, bending, elbows, and valves are affecting the head of the fluid that is flowing in side a particular type of pipe such as steel.
In that experiment we have seen that the flow rate causes head change, also the head losses are changing on a particular fitting or in a straight pipe. This is the case that was expected by looking the head loss equations, that is caused by the interaction of the fluid molecules with the inner side of the pipe surface molecules. In the experiment we have found that the friction factor or the fanning factor and the K values are changing by the change of the fluid flow rate by inversely. That is caused by the interaction of the fluid molecules and the pipe surface molecules as mentioned previously, when the fluid moves faster and faster the interaction between them is getting lower and by the consequence of this the factors values getting lower, but in the other hand the head losses are getting larger than the slower flow rates, that is caused by the velocity which is effect by the power of 2, and that is why the flow rates cause larger changes in head losses. For the flowing fluids velocity change cause change of Reynolds's number, that determines the type of flow, weather it is laminar or turbulent, which is directly effects the characteristics of the flow, and changes all values, constants and other variables that are effecting the flow, and the flow regime. If we look for the overall changes in head losses while friction factor is getting smaller, since velocity getting larger by the square power the head losses getting larger when the flow rates increase. Other factors for the head losses in a piping system are the minor factors that are caused affecting the head loss while a fluid flows in a pipe, but not so much effectively changes the head of the fluid. They caused small head losses in the system, that is why they are called minor factors. Also by looking our experiment we can also figure out the effects of these fitting on the system. For the elbows, expansion or contraction parts, bends there is not so much head loss, but this is not the mean of that we can neglect the effect of these. When the number of these fittings are much enough, they can cause very effective head losses. The valves are much effective for the head loss than the bending or expansion, but in our data there is an inconsistency for the gate valve versus different flow rates, this can be occur by the U tube which was connected to the each end of the gate valve, there can be excess air, which can change the pressure of the water, and can make us to read incorrectly the value of the piezometer.
In conclusion we have make some observations during the experiment, and have taken some notes about the experiment, also after the experiment, by calculating the required values we have get an idea about how the friction effects the flow, and also the effects of pipe types and the fittings on the flow. Moreover we have learned how the flow type and the flowing material's viscosity affecting in a flow.

ARMM condemns desecration of St. Mary's Cathedral in Marawi
Published June 8, 2017, 2:24 PM
By Nonoy Lacson
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) condemned the burning of the St. Mary's Cathedral in Marawi City, destroying images of Jesus Christ and Mary, and desecrating the place of worship of the Catholic faithful by the Maute Group and Abu Sayyaf (ASG).
ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman described the act as inhumane and unacceptable. "Their acts mirror that of the Khawarij and their belief betrays those of our faith. These terrorists are nothing but hypocrites who undermine the true essence of Islam," the governor said.

They are un-Islamic, he said. "They are the worst of the creation," he described the Maute Group members.
The acts of the Maute Group, the Abu Sayyaf, and their ilk show that they are unfortunate reincarnations of the Khawarij — they who recite the Quran but the words do not pass beyond their throats, and who leave the religion as an arrow leaves its target and do not return as the arrow does not return to its bow, he explained..
Hataman said they are immature and reckless, quoting the Qur'an and Hadith in perverse ways that fit their equally perverse cause. He added: "these infidels who represent the Khawarij of our time must be condemned and shunned away from the Muslim ummah, for they are unworthy of the promises of Allah and the pleasures of jannah (paradise)."
He further explained that the Prophet himself (peace be upon him) did not come to deprive those who did not follow him. Instead, the governor said that he upheld their dignity and honor, and reminded us to treat others fairly regardless of faith, status, or ancestry.
According to Hataman the covenants of the Prophet with Christians from various places show kindness and compassion towards Christians, offering them protection and aid. The governor said, "the Prophet forbids desecration of churches, much more destroying them.
He said: "It is our responsibility as Muslims to denounce the actions of the members of the Maute Group and Abu Sayyaf, and all other local groups whose actions are a disservice to Islam — a faith that promotes compassion, kindness and peace."
Hataman continued: "Let us not allow these terrorists to hijack and destroy Islam. We cannot and must not tolerate them, and we must make sure that they are brought to justice."

Chocolate Lover Looses Her Debt!
So a little be about me I'm 21 (almost 22) I live with my husband and my two kitty cats (I'm not just a chocolate lover I'm a cat lover too!!). I live on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire/Lincolnshire borders in the middle of no where and I love it The only bad thing is the internet is rather s....l.....o.....w!! So that's the basics anyway!
Up until recently I was paying my dad off a loan for around £2000 (think with all the extra bits I added on it was more than that). This was in 2012! So lucky I didn't have to pay interest.
I paid him off in drips and drabs (was on a zero hour contract and then worked on commission only) so when I had a good week I would pay him off, when I didn't I didn't pay.
Once I got a stable job with a proper wage I decided to pay him off £50 a month and pay for his and my mums phones which was £20+ a month too so a total of £70+ a month.
Back in 2013 I needed to get my credit rating up and needed a new laptop (I sat on mine - whoops). I had been the photographer at a colleagues wedding and needed to edit the photos so I got an Argos card and got myself a shiny new laptop. This when was I still had the debt to my dad and it was another £300. I paid the debt off and only paid a little bit of interest so was quite pleased with that.
So all together £300. Now to most people this is so minuscule that they probably would just laugh it off but to me it is debt I don't like owing money so I am going to pay it off!
However I also want to save so going to try and put £50 into savings a month and £20 to clear off debt.
So it's been almost 3 years since I wrote my last post, didn't see the point of me making a new thread so I thought I would post on this one. My current situation is a lot different from where I was a few years ago.
I am now almost 25, have a 21 month old son and am a single parent. (son does see his dad so think it is referred to as a residential parents but not sure - just wanted to clarify that).
So a few years ago I was £300 in debt...I did pay that off however I am now....£2333.94 in debt on a credit card. I got the card to begin with as a "just in case" my benefits and money from work go in different times to my bills so I wanted a safety net. At first I was being good and paying it off before the end of the month. I did this for a year. Until I become depressed (not an excuse I know) and was buying more and more and thought it made me feel better and thought "I'll just stick it on the CC!!" and I wouldn't check my bank accounts because I was scared what it would be. I also got a tumble dryer and washing machine on credit and was paying back £13 a month but only £8 of that was actually for the machines the rest was interest!!
I did give myself a kick up the back side and went and got a 0% balance transfer for 29 months. I did start paying it off and then it crept back up again. So kick up the backside number 2!!
I am also paying off a sofa for £25 a month but only have a year left on that and it is 0% interest but that's another thing on the debt list!
- Only buy from shopping list and try and use up cupboard and freezer stock.
- Sorted out benefits so I get the correct amounts.
- Canceled spot to save £9.99 a month.
Do I do this every week/month? No, but I am getting better and I am trying.
£5.88 Home ins - Only got this year so can't change yet.
£23.00 Water - asked about lower tariff but I'm better off on meter.
£63.36 Mobile phone - yes I know it's stupidly high it was a moment of weakness that I will now be paying for, for another 16 months!!
£45.16 Car ins - cheapest I could get, I'm a young driver so pay more.
£12.37 TV License - again something that can't be changed.
£2.00 Account fee - have a rewards account so do make use of it.
£9.50 Amazon S+S baby wipes - yes I need this so much cheaper than buying packs every week with the shopping.
£79 Amazon Prime - next day delivery and TV/Movies I use this a lot so it is worth it.
So I try and budget £40/£50 a week on food shopping but always spend more - thinking of maybe drawing cash out and doing it that way?
If anyone can see anything else I could change or cut down please feel free to give me advice I will get this debt down!!
Without seeing your income it's hard to know if you're budgeting well. Plus I've learnt from this site it's best to just be honest with your food budget and make it fit. Trying to cut it too much won't work. What are your goals? It won't take long to pay that off but May be it would help to know what you're going to have after.
Thank you for your advice I am not 100% sure of the food shopping but for Sept I am keeping receipts and going to try and draw the cash out each week to avoid over spending.
Just wanted to say don't forget to include vets bill, pet insurance, cat-food and litter in your monthly budget.
I have made a spreadsheet at home of my earnings etc. I am going to keep receipts so I can see a realistic amount of what I actually spend. I have left my purse at home today while I'm at work so fingers crossed that works!
I just had a look on my bank account and didn't realize how much I've actually been spending!! Over £200 this month on food and £100 on eating out!! It's ridiculous! No wonder I am in debt!!
On adding up your outgoings it comes to pretty much your income so I am guessing you find yourself short at the end of the month if you are overspending on food and it does not look as if you can afford to eat out. Also you should be saving for car maintenance and emergencies which is probably a struggle. Do you not have to pay council tax?
On the plus side if you budgeted strictly and did not spend on the credit card you can deal with this. Your outgoings look fairly reasonable apart from the mobile phone deal which is ridiculously high so change this as soon as you can. Presumably at some point your son will qualify for the 30 hours free childcare too but not sure how this works with childminding fees on Saturdays. Can his dad not look after him weekends when you are working? Car insurance is cheapest if paid annually so saving for this when you can is a good idea. Can you up your income?
I would suggest a spending diary and maybe using prepaid card for food and fuel so you are not overtempted to spend or draw it out in cash. Same goes for personal/entertainment money. You need to budget for clothing for your child. When does the 0% deal on your credit card expire?
enthusiasticsaver - I get some benefits weekly and some 4 weekly and my wages monthly so I basically live from week to week. I quite often find myself in my OD or using my CC to pay for things. The reason eating out is so high this month is that we had family up so went out for a family meal otherwise that would have been half that and could even be less if I didn't make a quick after work trip to KFC.
It's bad but I usually buy anything for my car on my CC as it is hard to save for that. I have just spent £60 on getting it through an MOT so I used food money and bought my food on my CC.
Yes I do pay council tax must have missed it off my list!! I pay around £30 a month because I get some help from the housing benefit with that as well. I will amend the list thank you.
The mobile phone has another 16 months left but as soon as it is up I will be getting a much cheaper deal!
My son will get the 30hrs free when he is 3 so next Nov but have a feeling it starts the term after so will be Jan 2020 but the nursery will tell me when he will get that.
His dad used to have him 3/4 weekends so I could work most Saturdays but since he has changed job to work nights he can't have him until 3pm on a Saturday.
The car ins. isn't due until March next year but I can't afford to pay £500/600 in one go and can't save while paying unless I pay on CC.
The 0% runs out in just over 2 years.
With the prepaid card we sell some at work but you have to pay commission on them, are there any 0% commission ones available?
I have a note book that I am going to write all my spendings in and hoping that will make me more cautious.
So I gave myself a massive kick up the bum a couple of weeks ago when I had to buy a new car on my CC (which almost maxed it out), I spent too much money on !!!! and had hardly any money for food so my brother and sis-in-law helped me out.
BUUT I have paid £370 off it and found out the other day that when I draw money out it charges interest my own fault for not checking first.
Anyway I have stopped going to SW and saved £5 a week at least until I have got this debt down. I have also worked out my incomings and outgoings properly and if I budget I can pay £50 a week on my CC so that means it will be paid off in about 57 weeks so just over a year. My aim is to be debt free by next xmas. I am going to use any leftover money each week to pay off the CC. I am going to Fleabay and FB marketplace some stuff that I don't need/use to try and get a bit more money.
I still have the odd day where I will impulse buy however they are no where near as much as they were before and I am proud of myself for that. I am hoping over time I will stop the impulse buying.
So that's where I am at the moment. I am going to try and check back here at least once a week so I can see my debt going down!
- DON'T SPEND ANY MONEY!!!! I have left my purse at home the last few days at work as I only have a £100 OD and don't want to go further into that. With the exception of SW on Tuesday and hair cut Wednesday (B/Day money - strict orders to do something nice with it and not spend on bills or rubbish) I will be aiming for a spend free week. This means on Thursday I will be able to put £50 into my CC, pay off my £80 OD and have £20 for fuel and food.
- Use what I have in fridge/cupboards I need to get creative and make use of what I have already.
Declutter I'm aiming to declutter one cupboard a day and list at least one thing a day on fleabay/FB/Spock/Freecycle to clear clutter and make a bit of money.
So that is my aims for the week, it is going to be hard espcially because when I get paid on Thurs I will have to wait another full week until I have more money BUT hopefully this means I will buck my ideas up and stop buying rubbish and I will get out of the living in my OD cycle.
I now can't rely on my CC for everything which has been hard but it has also made me realize how much rubbish I was actually buying and I wouldn't actually be paying for that until a year or so later. So that takeaway I bought months ago I haven't yet paid for, them clothes I bought last year that I've probably never worn or have sold on I still haven't paid for. When you look at it like that it really does make you wonder.
My son will be 2 at the end of the month and I am having a little family/friends get together for him. So if anyone has any ideas how to do this on a budget please share!
So how did my spend free week go? Well it wasn't spend free!!
My BF gave me £10 on Monday so I could get a bit more shopping bless him, I am counting that as a NSD as he gave me the money.
Tuesday I went to SW so spent £4.95 for my weekly there.
Today I am working and need to buy fuel later as my light come on the way home from work last night! Have £20 popped aside for that.
I've paid another £50 off my CC this week but had an extra £7.45 interest (I have updated my sign to match this). I worked out paying £50 a week my debt free date would be 11th Dec 2019 so my aim is to get that date closer! Any extra change I get or stuff I sell on FB is going in a piggy bank that will be emptied once a month and paid off the CC, I also have a reward account with Natwest so everytime that gets to £20 I will take that out and pay some off too!
Had quite a good week so far. On Monday I did a full clear out of the loft and posted a lot of things for sale on FB including my old photography lights which I sold for £150! I was thinking of putting it on CC to pay back quicker but then thought I could do that and muddle through with Xmas shopping or I could get Xmas shopping. So armed with my list I went out yesterday and got Xmas presents for almost everyone I just have to buy for a few more people and I am done! I also bought myself a new coat because my old one had a broken zip and I'm not good with sewing or anything.
Managed to pay £20 into OD as well so win win and I can feel more relaxed about Xmas.
Forgot to bring lunch to work with me today so I'm having to buy it so not ideal! But I am going to write a shopping list tonight and get my shopping tomorrow and I will stick to the list!!!

Eminem, Elton John To Duet At Grammys
Rapper gets big-name support for a performance that has already generated controversy.
archive-David-Basham 02/10/2001
Accused homophobe Eminem will have a special guest for his Grammy performance of "Stan" — the openly bisexual Elton John.
John, who has been championed by the same gay activists who have frequently attacked Eminem, will sing the song's chorus, which on record features a sample of pop singer Dido. The song appears on Eminem's 2000 album, The Marshall Mathers LP, whose nomination for the Album of the Year Grammy has generated a continuing controversy.
The Em and El duet, which will easily be the most anticipated event at the February 21 Grammy ceremony, was confirmed late Friday by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS).
"We view this moment not only as musically significant, but also as an opportunity to help tear down some of the unfortunate walls of division that Eminem's lyrics have built," NARAS president and CEO Michael Greene said in a statement.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times on Saturday, John said that the idea for the Grammy duet was Eminem's, and that the singer was prepared for the detractors and protestors the joint appearance might cause.
"I'm a big fan of [Eminem's] music," John told the newspaper, "and I said I would be delighted to [do the song]. I know I'm going to get a lot of flak from various people who are going to picket the show. ... I'd rather tear down walls between people than build them up. If I thought for one minute that he was [hateful], I wouldn't do it."
Eminem's four Grammy nominations have drawn the ire of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which has called the rapper's lyrics hateful and homophobic (see "Gay Activist Group Plans Pre-Grammy Eminem Protest").
Shortly after the announcement that John would be joining Eminem onstage, GLAAD expressed disappointment that John had consented to the Grammy duet. In April, GLAAD honored John with its Vito Russo Entertainer Award in recognition of the singer having "furthered the visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community."
"GLAAD is appalled that John would share a stage with Eminem, whose words and actions promote hate and violence against gays and lesbians," Executive Director Joan M. Garry said in a statement issued Saturday.
"Last year GLAAD bestowed upon John one of our most prestigious honors, named in honor of GLAAD founder Vito Russo, for outstanding contributions to combating homophobia. We believe John's actions today violate the spirit of this award."
Prior to the Recording Academy's confirmation of the duet, GLAAD had blasted NARAS for allowing the rapper to perform at all.
"Eminem should not have another platform for his hateful lyrics," Garry noted in a statement released on Friday.
"GLAAD is deeply offended that [NARAS] is yielding its Grammy Awards stage to Eminem," Garry said. "While we recognize that the Academy has restricted Eminem's performance to the song 'Stan,' that song — while less homophobic than much of his material — still contains misogyny and images of violence and murder."
The song's verses are a series of letters to Eminem from a deranged Eminem fan who eventually kills himself and his pregnant girlfriend — portrayed in the video by Dido — by driving his car off a bridge. In the final verse, Eminem responds, counseling the fan, "You and your girlfriend need each other/ Or maybe you just need to treat her better."
In a conciliatory move, NARAS and GLAAD will co-host a public forum the day before the Grammy Awards to "discuss the nominations of controversial artists whose lyrics have been called extreme, homophobic and misogynistic."
Greene, Garry, and an as-yet-unnamed musician will carry on a dialogue at "Intolerance in Music: A Town Hall Meeting," slated for the Los Angeles Public Library on February 20.
