Interrogations in El Chipote: "Why Are You Marching and Who is Paying You"
Five citizens captured in the last roundup remain in detention
"They asked who gave me the T-shirt, shoes, short, everything," related the marathon runner. "I responded that to march is a right," says Vigil.

"Why are you marching?" "Who is paying you?" "Who sends you?" These and other similar questions are part of the interrogation to which we were subjected, in the cells of the El Chipote interrogation prison, noted the protesters illegally detained by the National Police, last Sunday in Managua. They were released on Monday, after a strong international pressure, which included the governments of Costa Rica and Panama, among others.
The police institution acquitted a group of eight people on the same day of the arrest, and the rest of citizens abandoned the cells of El Chipote on the morning and afternoon on Monday. However, Ana Margarita Vigil, who was detained, denounced in her social networks that Marvin Reyes, Enrique Artiles, Juan Escorcia, Roger Cabo and Rolando Tapia were still in prison.
Vijil along with Maria Haydee Castillo (arrested at the airport by agents of the Migration and Immigration General Directorate), Suyen Barahona and Jose Antonio Peraza, were the last to leave "El Chipote." She told Confidencial that she was not mistreated in the cell of the DAJ, contrary to what the police have done with other political prisoners such as Medardo Mairena, Pedro Mena or Edwin Carcache, according to reports from their relatives.
"I sprained myself when I tried to get away from the cops. In "El Chipote" the doctor treated me. I have no knowledge of any abuse with those I was with. Indeed, what happened was an illegal capture, we were exercising our constitutional right of free assembly and riot police arrived violently and clearly it was an arbitrary and absurd abuse of power by Daniel Ortega," stated Vijil.
Antonia Urrejola, from the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (IACHR), celebrated the news of the release of the detained citizens. However, she stated that they are following the situation of more than 300 political prisoners kept by the Ortega regime.
"The release of women leaders of the social movements in Nicaragua is good news. But, we remain alert and following the situation of hundreds of people imprisoned by the criminalization of the protests," wrote in the Twitter account Urrejola.
Vigil added that during her 24 hours stay in "El Chipote," police authorities interrogated her three times. She said that she was with ten other people in a cell that did not provide necessary conditions, and she slept on the floor.
"They insisted on asking me why I was participating in the marches and what my objective was. I explained to them that it is our right, and that we march to demand justice and democracy. They (the police) were interested in reaffirming that they were not mistreating us. I can say that the treatment was always respectful," she said.
Vigil pointed out that the release of, at least, 38 citizens was possible thanks to the pressure applied at the national and international level, after the news of the arrests was known. She stated that she is convinced that the power is in the hands of the Nicaraguan people and that only by organizing ourselves "we can be able to liberate this country."
The Police fulfilled its threat
The 38 citizens were arrested illegally and with lots of violence on Sunday, October 14th, when they participated in a sit-in demanding justice for political prisoners. Starting at six in the morning, more than 400 riot police and other officers were deployed throughout the capital, in order to prevent the activity from taking place.
On September 28th, the Ortega regime threatened through a police press note to prosecute the people and organizations that called for civic protest demonstrations, and declared them "illegal." It stated that "those responsible will respond to justice."
In the press note published on the same Sunday afternoon, the Police reported that detainees were being investigated, accused of being "involved in inciting and provocative activities," by calling for and participating in public demonstrations "without due police permission."
On the same morning, hundreds of photos and videos of the aggression and arrest of citizens by the police, circulated on social networks. National and international human rights organizations stated their position on the issue and repudiated the violence exerted by the National Police agents.
The voices of those released
Allan Cordero Ocon, a Costa Rican citizen of Nicaraguan origin, and his wife, a United States citizen, Marcela Martinez Guzman, were also part of the group of 38 citizens illegally captured by the National Police on Sunday, October 14th.
The Costa Rican Foreign Ministry said in a brief statement that the Consulate in Managua was able to confirm the release of Cordero Ocon "on Monday afternoon," and added that no charges were presented during the 24 hours of detention.
"Those were distressing hours for him, his family and us at the Consulate. Mr. Cordero explained that he was subjected to interrogations, but there was no physical nor psychological mistreatment," he assured in a statement the Costa Rican Consul in Managua, Oscar Camacho.
"I want to tell you that I am in good health, my wife is also well. I want to thank Costa Rica for its support," expressed Cordero in a statement of the Foreign Ministry and also in video statement.
Marathoner Alex Vanegas, symbol of the rebellion
Alex Vanegas, the marathoner who runs for the "freedom of the political prisoners," was also arrested by the police, but in the sector of the Jean Paul Genie traffic circle. According to statements made to "100% Noticias" (News) Channel, he was illegally detained after Commissioner Juan Valle Valle gave orders to his agents to secure the place.
"I was arrested because I was hugging the red and black (Sandinistas). Juan Valle Valle gave the order and I was apprehended. Three police officer got on top of me. He told them "hold him tight if he runs you will not be able to catch him." I am in pain, the bed in the "El Chipote" hotel, is like the one in the Flintstones. My shoulder is sore, and so is my back," said Vanegas.
The marathon runner stated that during his stay a "El Chipote", he was able to talk to Carlos Valle, father of Elsa Valle, who was released some weeks ago and acquitted of the charges that the Public Ministry had presented. According to Vanegas, Carlos said that he was happy that his "little girl" is free.
Vanegas expressed that during the interrogations by the officers there was not mistreatment, only lots of questions.
"They asked who gave me the T-shirt, the shoes, my shorts, everything. I told the cop that I want Nicaragua to come out of this morass and that if Nicaragua sinks, we were all going to sink," said Vanegas.
The marathoner denounced that many inmates in other cells would ask for water. However, during the period he was there, he did not see any officers responding to the requests of these citizens.
"Afterwards, they took me to another cell, in which I was alone. The place was filthy; I have an allergy all over my body. They put me there without a shirt and without shoes. Later, an officer allowed me to put my shoes. I was running the whole time I was there because no one is going to take that away from me, of running for the political prisoners," related Vanegas.
Ana Margarita Vijil said that the struggle for the release of all political prisoners will continue. Likewise, she stated that she did not receive any threat from the police and that she will stop going out into the streets until Nicaragua is free.
"They insisted in that we should ask permission from the National Police to be able to march, but I abide by what the Political Constitution says, which establishes the right to free mobilization," stated Vijil.
The State acts "de facto"
Human rights organizations such as the IACHR has warned that the Daniel Ortega regime is governing under a "state of emergency."
"No state official has more authority than the one dictated by law and by Nicaragua's Constitution," assured Gonzalo Carrion, legal director of Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (CENIDH), regarding the statement of the National Police where it "prohibits" and labels as illegal the demonstrations called by national movements opposed to the regime.
For the defender of human rights, the release of most of Sunday's detainees shows that the government of Ortega is "weakening," because it is a sign that it sustains itself only "by brute force."
"It only has the force of repression and with that it loses legitimacy each day," expressed Carrion in the television program "Esta Noche" (Tonight).
The press releases by the Police in recent days have threatened to imprison those who organize and participate in demonstrations. However, the Blue and White National Unity has protected itself in articles 53, 54 and 32 of Nicaragua's Constitution, which establish the right to peaceful assembly without prior notice.

High winds cause roof damage, power outages
Airport recorded peak gust of 62 mph Thursday afternoon
Noel Lyn Smith
Farmington Daily Times
Meteorologist Kerry Jones said wind speeds were recorded between 55 and 70 mph in the area Thursday afternoon.
San Juan County Fire Department Division Chief David Vega said the department responded to 51 calls for service on Thursday.
Thousands of customers across the Navajo Nation lost electrical power on Thursday.
FARMINGTON — High winds on Thursday resulted in reports of downed power lines in San Juan County and a major electrical outages for several communities on the Navajo Nation.
The weather station at the Four Corners Regional Airport recorded a peak wind gust of 62 mph at 4:49 p.m. Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque.
Kerry Jones, a meteorologist for the Albuquerque NWS, said wind speeds were recorded between 55 and 70 mph in the area Thursday afternoon.
Jones said weather conditions will improve for the weekend, but the wind is expected to return Monday evening into Tuesday.
San Juan County Fire Department Division Chief David Vega said the department responded to 51 calls for service on Thursday. While a majority of calls were for downed power line investigations, firefighters responded to a structure fire at 6:12 p.m. on County Road 3235 near Aztec.
The department also responded to a one-acre brush fire today along the La Plata River near the New Mexico-Colorado border.
Conditions in the county remain extremely dry, and the department does not permit open burning during windy conditions, Vega said. He added that residents are asked to report open burns to the San Juan County Fire Department at 505-334-1180.
On the Navajo Nation, the roof of the Upper Fruitland Chapter house sustained damage on Thursday due to high winds, and the building was ordered closed until further notice by the tribe's Risk Management Program.
Program supervisor Shawnevan Dale said officials were contacted by chapter employees at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday about the damage, and the building was closed because of safety concerns.
Dale added the program's construction inspector evaluated the building today, and repairs could be made this weekend.
Navajo Tribal Utility Authority customers in Tohatchi, Naschitti, Sheep Springs and Navajo, and in Window Rock, Fort Defiance, Ganado, Burnside, Steamboat, Klagetoh, Wide Ruins, Kinlichee and Nazlini in Arizona were without electrical service starting Thursday afternoon.
Deenise Becenti, spokeswoman for NTUA, said the outage was reported at about 4:30 p.m. and was caused by an issue with a transmission line operated by the Public Service Co. of New Mexico, which feeds the NTUA electrical system.
PNM spokeswoman Shannon Jackson said crews were dispatched to the area Thursday evening and inspected the line before power was restored at 6:23 a.m. today.
Workers did not find any damage, but strong winds are suspected of forcing power lines to make contact, causing a "trick" to the system, Jackson said.
Becenti said 10,136 customers initially were impacted, but power was rerouted and restored to Ganado and Burnside by about 7 p.m. Thursday. That left 7,436 customers without electricity until the power was completely restored this morning, Becenti said.
The outage caused the Central Consolidated School District to cancel classes today for Naschitti Elementary School, and Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye granted two hours of administrative leave for tribal employees within the affected areas.
Becenti added that high winds also downed two utility poles, resulting in an outage for the area south of Shiprock and in the Two Grey Hills Chapter on Thursday.
Outages can be reported to NTUA by calling 800-528-5011 or under the "Report an outage" tab on the NTUA website, ntua.com.

Another glorious sunny day dawned... and it was into the 2nd day of meetings. This time the focus was looking forward, and planning an event in Madrid in a few months' time involving students from the partner schools.
We were hosted once again by the school of Diana Prodan and colleagues, and enjoyed their hospitality. We walked back over the canal, and into the room where we had been before. We had a productive day of meetings.
The following morning, an early start to head for the airport and say goodbye to this friendly city which I hope I return to again some time.

You're like most people, then you'll no doubt be surprised to hear that controlling your gout, uric acid amounts and signs can be as simple as drinking orange juice!
Spanish study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in September of 2003 showed that uric acid amounts are decreased by the vitamin C in orange juice.
The study, six women and six men have been required to drink two glasses of orange juice every day for two weeks.
This typically meant that they were taking in an additional 250mg of vitamin C each day.
The remaining diet throughout the two-week period, provided each of the participants with about 136mg of vitamin C a day for the men, and 112mg for the women. This made the daily intake of vitamin C regarding the male participants 386mg and for the female participants it was 362mg.
But even better was the fact that after two weeks, the male participants had reduced their levels of uric acid by approximately 12.5 percent, while the women had reduced their levels by 6.5 percent. By the end of the vitamin c study each individual had reduced his / her gout uric acid levels.
Researchers consider this to be very important news; especially considering that it was only an increase of 250mg daily (compared to a typical vitamin C supplement, which is 500 to 1000mg) and the study only lasted only two weeks. They believe that drinking twice as much juice over a longer time period, for example a month or 6 months, or even a lifetime, could help to permanently reduce uric acid levels and prevent gout attacks simply because even greater reductions in uric acid level could be achieved.
Also most medications prescribed to lessen uric acid may lower levels more substantially and quickly than relying on vitamin c therapy on it's own.
The upside of the Vitamin c approach is that it's a great deal more pleasant than taking drugs and also cheaper.
But if you're thinking of using vitamin C to lower your uric acid levels, you should first speak to your doctor.
Substantially larger study performed in 2005 tested nutritional C's effectiveness for reducing uric acid levels. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland and published their study results in the June Arthritis and Rheumatism journal of the same year which used dietary supplements of 500 mg instead of lemon juice. The study saw similar reductions in uric acid levels.
This is very important news, as it is vital for sufferers to reduce gout uric acid levels before permanent damage is done in order to the various affected joints.

Uber Driver Michael A. Hancock Found Not Guilty Of Murder In Death Of Passenger
By Colorado Public Radio Staff and The Associated Press
A Colorado jury on Thursday found an Uber driver not guilty of murder in the killing of a passenger that he said attacked him before he fired 10 shots at him.
Jurors sided with Michael A. Hancock, 31, who argued that he was defending himself against passenger Hyun Kim during a June 2018 ride.
After the verdict was read, Hancock's family hugged, sobbed and cried out in joy before leaving the courthouse without comment.
Hancock said Kim made unwanted sexual advances and attacked him when Hancock threatened to pull over during the June 2018 ride.
Prosecutors said Hancock jumped from the car and went to the front passenger side where Kim was sitting. They said said Hancock fired 10 bullets from his semi-automatic handgun, and at least five struck Kim.
Prosecutors said Hancock didn't suffer serious injuries and that he put a knife in 45-year-old Kim's hands after shooting him to place his fingerprints on it.
Hancock testified that he put the knife, which he kept under his seat, in Kim's hands to see if he was still alive.
The Colorado trial was one of a handful of criminal cases in the U.S. involving drivers who work for the ride-sharing company. Prosecutors in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have charged an Uber driver in the shooting death of a passenger during a dispute over vomit in the driver's vehicle.
In North Carolina, another Uber driver is accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a female passenger in a case that is also pending.
The fatal Colorado ride began after Hancock picked up Kim at a karaoke bar. Kim's original destination was 2 miles away. Surveillance video showed Hancock's car arriving at that location. But Kim — who was drunk — did not get out of the car.

Apologies if already mentioned. I saw Seven Pounds yesterday. It takes a little while to grasp the concept as i'd not seen any trailers, but once you get an understaning, it's a very good film which touches the heart. Also saw The Way of War, I thought it was a little off and a few things happened in it which had no relevance to anything, but a good enough watch if you have nothing to do.
i saw shoot em up, thought it was great entertainment. also, i'm only 21, so there may be some legendary comedy films, but i will definately make the statement that superbad is without doubt the funniest film i've ever seen. absolutely love it.
this is the funniest thread i've read in a long time. that myspace thing's fantastic!

Charleston has a three-step plan to reopen businesses, but warns that we are "still in the red zone"
by Staff Reports April 17, 2020 October 11, 2021
[image-1]City of Charleston officials unveiled a three-step plan to modify the local stay-at-home ordinance on Friday, with the end goal of fully restoring economic activity. The first step in the recovery strategy, shutting the city down, has already been implemented.
The second step, strategic reopening, is dependent on three conditions, two of which have already been met thanks to social distancing measures, according to Mayor John Tecklenburg.
"We've been flattening the curve," he said at a press conference on April 17. "We've been successful over the last few weeks with folks staying home and staying distant to contain this contagion."
Charleston County has 383 COVID-19 positive patients, at a rate of 93.1 cases per 100,000 citizens, according to state health officials' April 16 count. This rate is comparatively low to some of the hardest hit parts of the U.S., like New York, which Tecklenburg says is a good sign for Charleston. "Over time, as this community listened and cooperated and stayed at home and distanced, the curve was lowered," he said. "It's a remarkable thing that this community has done."
[content-1]
To complete the second step, the city needs stronger testing and contact tracing capabilities. Tecklenburg assured citizens at the press conference that more tests are on the way and should be available "in the near future," though no date was provided.
If these measures are met, the city's plan says, most businesses and public spaces may be reopened with continued social distancing and limited crowd sizes. "Even when we reopen, it's going to be a continuation of distancing," the mayor said.
The final step is for life to return to normal, after a vaccine or treatment is made widely available, with a greater investment in public health infrastructure to protect against future pandemics. While the prospect of normalcy may lead some to want to rush the process, Tecklenburg reminded citizens that "we are still in the red zone."
Reopening parts of the nation has become a hot topic late in the week, thanks to President Donald Trump calling to "liberate" some states after protesters gathered to argue against stay-at-home ordinances.
Gov. Henry McMaster announced yesterday that South Carolina will reopen public boat ramps and docks today, a move the police department says it supports, if done responsibly.

Explore ideas and advice on sales coaching and more.
When we talk about knowing your people, there are two ways that are critical for you to be an effective leader. First, know what kind of an employee each member of your team is in terms of their daily work habits, their actions, their values, and beliefs. What motivates them to do well, and what things cause them to shut down? What type of working environment do they prefer? How is each of them viewed within their peer group? Are they informal leaders that others look to for guidance and advice, or are they quiet followers? What makes each of them unique in the workplace?
The second way to know your people is to know their personal lives. What non-verbal message do you think is sent to an employee when their direct manager knows little to nothing about their personal life?
Knowing details about your people's personal lives shows that you value them and care enough to know things about them. Learn about such things as their spouse, children, hobbies, etc.
Certainly, some people are very private so inquiring about their personal lives needs to be done in the course of a natural conversation without creating a weird or uncomfortable situation. If your employee doesn't voluntarily talk about their personal life, make sure you are asking at the appropriate moments, and in the appropriate settings.
This is where you take off your "boss" hat, and put on your "coaching" hat. This is where you are intentional and engaged with the work of building up your employees, and thus your entire team. Separate yourself from other managers and supervisors at your organization that only provide formal feedback during the company's structured or mandatory review periods.
Providing continual and on-going feedback to your employees should become a habit and a natural thing for you to do as a coach. Seek out and take advantage of every interaction with your people as an opportunity to build a positive relationship. Pay attention and actively watch for the moments to point out the things they have done well. Don't make a big deal about it, that could seem artificial or staged. A quick, sincere, comment made in passing about some positive thing you noticed will be remembered by your employee and can have a tremendous effect on their attitude, self-worth, motivation, and dedication to you and the team. However, as you already know, big accomplishments or milestones should, of course, be much more than just a passing comment.
If you have established a history of recognizing your people for things done well, even in small ways, they will be much more receptive to your negative feedback or discipline when those things need to be done.

Voestalpine has in recent years invested $1.4 billion in production in the United States, including its iron facility in Portland.
Iron manufacturer The Voestalpine Group told investors Wednesday President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported steel and aluminum products have so far not hurt its bottom line.
The Austrian company, which runs a massive iron plant near Gregory, said the tariffs, imposed in June, did not have any significant negative effects in the first quarter of the 2018/19 business year.
"The economic momentum in Europe, China, and North America, which remains strong overall, has not been greatly affected by the increasingly protectionist tendencies in global trade," the company said in a statement.
Voestalpine said its year-over-year revenue rose to 3.5 billion Euros (or $4 billion USD) from 3.3 billion. However, the company conceded the 2016 Brexit vote has already started to have a "dampening effect" on Europe.
"Thanks to the stable economic growth that continues unabated, Voestalpine's most important customer markets remained at a high level. The automotive industry, for example, continued to expand, and even the oil and natural gas sector has become more dynamic," Voestalpine CEO Wolfgang Eder said.
Based in Linz, Austria, Voestalpine has in recent years invested $1.4 billion in production in the United States. That includes Voestalpine Texas, a 470-acre iron facility off U.S. Highway 181, just outside the Portland city limits.
The company's Texas plant is responsible for purifying raw iron and transforming it into hot "briquettes" that can be used in steel production.
In June, Voestalpine started a task force within its group, comprised of 11 employees from the United States and Austria, to monitor developments and explore the potential consequences of Trump's decision.
At that time, Voestalpine projected about 3 percent of its total revenue could be affected by the tariffs, but estimated the economic risk for the company remained "manageable," even in the most extreme circumstances.

Adventures in Reading: World Fantasy Award Nominee: "Swift, Brutal Retaliation"
World Fantasy Award Nominee: "Swift, Brutal Retaliation"
This is the second time I've read Meghan McCarron's "Swift, Brutal Retaliation", a story focused on the aftermath of the too young death of the brother of Sinead and Brigid with both their escalating war of pranks on each other as well as their desire to help the ghost of their dead brother find peace.
That's a gross simplification, of course, and when you get down to the heart of the story, what "Swift, Brutal Retaliation" seems to really be about is grief. The grief of parents, the grief of sisters, the grief of the deceased, and how that grief and anger manifests throughout a family. How losing that son and brother through a drawn out illness changes the dynamic, most likely irreparably.
Told mostly from the third person perspective of the sisters, "Swift, Brutal Retaliation" is a story that begins a touch lighter than the subject matter would suggest, but simmers at a slow burn and has a powerful, explosive ending. Explicitly, there is a touch of the supernatural with Ian's ghost, but in this case it is one of the least important supernatural elements in a story and very well may just be a manifestation of the emotions of the family. Regardless of that, this is a worthy story for the World Fantasy Award nomination.

Leukopenia is a term used when there are less than adequate white blood cells in the bloodstream. This condition may make those suffering from it susceptible to infections. Leukopenia is often seen in diseases such as AIDS, cancer and lupus, as well as in common occurrences like the flu or a cold. Leukopenia can also be medically induced, as is often the case for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. While there are several prescription medications available to battle this condition, most of them also have multiple adverse side effects. But there are alternative natural methods that can increase white blood cell count without the side effects. One of these treatments is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
1. Traditional Chinese Medicine considers the spleen to be a very important component of immune function in the body. In TCM, the spleen is responsible for removing nutrients from food and then using those nutrients to build up blood. Patients with low blood cell count tend to suffer from fatigue. This can be countered by receiving regular acupuncture treatments that not only increase immunity, but also boost the production of blood cells.
2. One very important modality of TCM is herbs and herbal formulas. Specific herbs and formulas can actually increase white blood cell count and improve immune function in the body. The peony root, for example, is used in at least three different forms to boost or tonify the blood. In single herb form, peony root is known as Bai Shao, Chi Shao and Shao Yao. All of these forms are known to tonify blood, which ultimately increases immunity.
3. Tai chi and qi gong are ingrained in Asian history and used by millions of people worldwide. Studies have shown these forms of low-impact exercise can be very beneficial to those suffering from leukopenia. In fact, the studies confirm blood cell count can be increased by practicing tai chi or qi gong on a regular basis. There have even been cases where tumors have completely disappeared after the patient began practicing these ancient martial arts.
4. Diet and nutrition are other important areas when battling leukopenia. In TCM, nutrition is vital for overall health. One of the superfoods in TCM is Shiitake mushrooms. These mushrooms are recommended because they are known to enhance immunity. Shiitake mushrooms contain lentinan, which is an antiviral substance that has strong immune-stimulating properties. This mushroom is used as a meat substitute in TCM nutrition. And when combined with other immune-boosting foods, this in itself can make for a very healthy meal.
5. Lastly, a practice known as meditation should be considered when low white blood cell count is present. While meditation is not specific to TCM, it is frequently prescribed and used by TCM practitioners. Mediation is a practice that helps calm the mind and the nervous system. When the nervous system is overstimulated, it creates metabolic stress within the body. Metabolic stress causes the immune system to become weakened, thus decreasing the number of white blood cells in the body. Meditation can help reverse this problem.
While Western medicine may be the current line of defense in fighting leukopenia, it is very feasible that alternative medicine may offer a wonderful complement without harmful side effects. The two forms of medicine can be used in conjunction, allowing the patient to have more options within their treatment regimen.

This blog is my attempt to assemble a social history of Milton, DE, and includes primary source material, original research articles, and audiovisual productions, centered around the four decades between 1880 and 1920, but not limited to that time period. The front page, which appears when you navigate to the site, is focused on blog posts: articles from 500 to 1500 words in length that address various subjects, usually centered around a photograph or photographs that serve as the inspiration for the post. The front page features the most popular posts (by number of views) as well as the 10 most recent. The full list of posts, grouped chronologically by year, can be found under the Previous Posts menu selection.
For researchers, the Research Tools menu item provides access to two areas: annotated transcriptions of the Milton News letter that appeared in the Milford Chronicle (1901 – 1910 are currently available), and Abstracts From Other Publications, containing links to abstracts of numerous Milton-related articles provided by Harry Howeth.
The menu item Snapshot: Milton in 1906 links to an article that provides a context to all of the other articles on the blog: a sketch of town life in Milton in the early 20th century
The People section contains biographical sketches and photographs (where available) of Milton people from the late 19th – early 20th century , of general interest and for the genealogical researcher.
For the casual visitor: the Quick Tours section has a number of audiovisual presentations that are three minutes or less in duration, that provide a closer look at the town and its people at the time.
Museum As Artifact is a discussion of the symbols on the stained glass windows of the Lydia B. Cannon Museum, formerly a Methodist Protestant Church with a long history.
About Me provides a little background on how I got started with assembling the social history of Milton.

The former location of Scully's Ocean Side Cafe at 2000 Coastal Highway in Dewey now hosts the new Starboard Raw, a 48-seat raw bar venue with a limited menu and lots of raw bar options. This is an expansion of the ever-popular Starboard Restaurant and Bar, one of the properties owned and operated by an investment group headed up by Steve "Monty" Montgomery. Some members of that restaurant group also operate and manage 99 Sea Level in the Marriott Suites on the boardwalk in Bethany Beach.
Manager Pat Coleman worked for 15 years as a barkeep at The Starboard, so he's hittin' the ground running when it comes to Dewey clientele. Lew from Baltimore cut his teeth at Nick's Fish House and Nick's Cross Street Market in Baltimore, and he is personally overseeing the raw bar. The craft brew lineup is amazing.
So far, we have enjoyed the Old Baltimore Crab Soup – a light tomato base is kicked up with Smithfield ham! We also like the fried oyster po'boy and the amazing blackened salmon sandwich. One of the stars of the the small plates menu is the Brown Sugar-Rubbed Salmon (see it in the photo gallery). We also got the mac & cheese, which is definitely a sleeper. One of the things we like the most is that they serve the Lobster Roll with the lobster simply warm and buttered. You can get the mayo if you want, but try it plain. Reminds us of Neptune Oyster on Salem St. in Boston's North End.
There are 7 entrees from which to choose, 7 sandwiches, three big salads and 7 sides (again -get the mac & cheese!). Fourteen small plates from $7 to $12 are quite generous. Get the Calamari rings (pickled cherry pepper rings are breaded and mixed in!), the Fried green Tomatoes (topped with lump crab) and the cute little crab cakes (quite flavorful, with mustard on the side).
Starboard Raw is at 2000 Coastal Highway, next to Baked Bakery, across the street from the mothership, The Starboard. They are open 7 days 11:30a until 1a. They can be reached at 302-227-9000.

Just tried the Raw. I'm surprised you liked the calamari. That was the only dish we did not like. The rings were tiny and the calamari was overdone inside. They Had no taste at all. The peppers were just two on the whole dish. Everything else was great. We had the salmon sandwich, the old Bay hog wings, fish bites and the oysters were great. We'll be back.

A: I see two root causes here (it's always better to understand why such thing is happening first, rather then just deleting):

*

*Default macos git vs brew-installed git. The thing is, that macOS has some pre-installed git binary, which comes with  xcode command line tools, so you probably don't want to delete those. You can find really good answer here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/304100/is-git-pre-installed-on-macos-sierra

*Different shells like bash vs zsh which can have different $PATH configured, so in bash shell you get one version of git in zsh - another.

DJI steps up anti-graft campaign following $150 million losses
|In On the Cusp, With Chinese Characteristics
|By Jill Shen
(Image credit: BigStock/Nik_Sorokin)
Chinese drone-maker DJI said it will strengthen its efforts to fight graft within the company, following an internal investigation that found it had lost $150 million due to corruption.
In a statement (in Chinese) posted on its corporate website on Wednesday, DJI vowed to keep cracking down on corruption, saying it is "the most serious problem [DJI] has encountered" as it has expanded over the years.
Earlier this month, DJI placed 45 former and current employees under investigation for allegedly accepting perks for purchasing substandard products or paying above-market prices to suppliers. Of those under investigation, the company handed over 16 people to the police and fired 29 others.
DJI was not immediately available for comment when contacted by TechNode.
Even global tech darling DJI is not immune to culture of corruption
Corruption investigations are commonplace in Chinese enterprises. Recently, e-commerce giant JD.com, lifestyle services platform Meituan, and ride-hailing giant Didi all conducted similar investigations. However, the incident at DJI is particularly significant. The company is held is in high esteem for its internationalization efforts and was one of the first companies to bring drones to the masses.
"From purchasing raw materials to producing components, … corruption from all levels raises supply chain costs by between 16% and 33%, creating a huge volume of hidden losses to enterprises," the company said in the statement.
Some dismissed employees later posted on popular messaging and social media app Wechat that they were "victims of internal strife." DJI rejected the claims as rumors intended to cover up their misconduct. The company also said that it is facing severe challenges in dealing with corruption within its ranks.
Chinese tech firms have been crippled by internal corporate crimes amid a slowing economy and weakening demand, leading to a slew of intensified anti-graft efforts.
Yang Weidong, former president of Alibaba's video streaming platform Youku, was replaced following a police investigation for alleged "economic issues" in December, though very few details were provided. This was followed by ride-hailing giant Didi dismissing more than 80 employees earlier this month for "serious" violations of the company's rules, which involved cases of fraud, bribery, and information security breaches.

On this day in history in 1475 the legendary Italian nobleman, politician, and cardinal, Cesare Borgia, was born.
Born in Rome of Spanish descent, Cesare was the son of Cardinal Rodrigo de Lanzol y Borgia, soon to become Pope Alexander VI, and his mistress Vannozza dei Cattanei.
Handsome and ambitious, Cesare acquired a reputation as an effective, if ruthless, military leader, and a lavish womanizer who fathered at least 11 illegitimate children. A brilliant military leader and skilled statesman, Cesare is thought to be the inspiration for Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince. Borgia and his clan came to represent the pinnacle of the Renaissance papacy's corruption and in many ways proved to be the impetus for the Protestant Reformation.
Though his religious credentials were weak, Cesare was appointed Bishop of Pamplona at 15 and, at the tender age of 18, was made a Cardinal. Borgia had always wanted a military career, which was instead endowed upon his brother, Giovanni, who was made captain general of the military forces of the papacy.
In June of 1497, Giovanni's body was found in the Tiber River, his throat cut. Historians believe the politically advantageous assassination was Cesare's work. With a military career finally possible, Cesare promptly resigned from his role as Cardinal in August 1498 and assumed his brother's titles, wealth, and position as military leader of the Borgias and the papacy, thus becoming the first person in history to resign the cardinalate.
Cesare went on to command the French force under Louis XII that captured Milan and two towns in the Italian state of Romagna, Imola and Forli. He went on to capture towns in Tuscany, Naples, southern Italy, and eastern Italy. Throughout his campaigns, Cesare had those who stood in the way of his political ambitions murdered, including the husband of his sister Lucrezia, the Neapolitan nobleman Alfonso, Duke of Bisceglie, who was strangled in the papal apartments. Another potential foe, Astorre III Manfredi, was drowned in the Tiber River by Borgia's orders.
During a campaign in the city of Romagna, Cesare's forces revolted against him. He ruthlessly led a successful defensive campaign against them, called for a truce, then treacherously had the conspirators executed.
Soon after, in 1503, Cesare fell gravely ill with what was thought to be malaria, possibly the same disease that killed his father that same year. Without the support of his father's papacy, Cesare's power was compromised. With his influence, a strong supporter of the Borgias, Cardinal Piccolomini, was elected as Pope Pius III, but only to die a month later. His successor was Julius II, considered an enemy of the Borgia family.
In 1504, Cesare was imprisoned on the orders of Julius II and Ferdinand of Aragon, and exiled to a Spanish prison. He escaped in 1506 and fled to the court of his brother-in-law, the king of Navarre, under whom he took military service. In 1507 he conducted a siege of the Spanish town of Viana, and died. He was 31.
Cesare Borgia left a legend as large as his life, and is often portrayed as a cruel, ruthless villain in historical accounts, novels, and films. He and his father are considered to be the epitome of greed, corruption, and excess in the Renaissance papacy and the motivation for the Reformation.

Recreational Marijuana New Jersey: Gov. Phil Murphy, Lawmakers Say They Reached Deal On Cannabis Bill
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said Friday he and legislative leaders have reached a deal on legislation to set up the new recreational marijuana marketplace. Despite announcing the agreement, the governor and lawmakers did not disclose details.
"We're proud to announce today that we've reached an agreement on legislation providing the framework for legalization, which is a critical step in reducing racial disparities and social inequities that have long plagued our criminal justice system," the governor's office said in an emailed statement.
Voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment on Election Day to legalize recreational marijuana, but legislators must still pass a measure to set up the marketplace.
They had been at an impasse on whether to cap the number of licenses and over how much of the tax proceeds should go to towns and cities whose residents were disproportionately likely to face marijuana-related charges.
The constitutional amendment takes effect on New Year's Day. Lawmakers have set their final voting session of the year for Dec. 17, when it's expected they will take up the marijuana legislation.
Another pending issue is legislation on decriminalizing marijuana possession.

"I have always had an interest in people around me and the emotional states underpinning the creative process. Performances seemed to be a good channel for transmitting these intense feelings during the pregnancy. I had amazing amounts of energy and got involved in various projects. I felt very inspired and instinctive.
Becoming a mother has put a different perspective on the interactions as I observe my daughter growing. Reading stories to her seems to be transporting me into a faraway place back in the past and it has proved to be a surprising source of inspiration."
'This is where I am' (2013)
'This is where I am' is based on ideas of Transactional Analysis (TA), a theory of behaviour that emphasiseshow our adult behavioural patterns originate in childhood. The theory describes three ego states (Parent/Adult/Child);
Parent is a state in which people behave, feel, and think in response to an unconscious mimicking of how their parents acted, or how they interpreted their parent's actions.
Adult is a state of the ego in which we process information and make predictions absent of major emotions. While a person is in the Adult ego state, he/she is directed towards an objective appraisal of reality.
Child is a state in which people behave, feel and think similarly to how they did in childhood. The Child is the source of emotions, creation, recreation, spontaneity and intimacy.
The aim of change under TA is to free ourselves from our childhood scripts and move toward constructive problem solving as opposed to avoidance or passivity.
Inspired by observations of my daughter learning to walk and reflections on my personal ego-states led to the performance 'This is where I am'. This was a durational performance working with two focal points: The Wall (a symbolic anchor for the Parent) and The Floor (a symbolic anchor for The Child). I am slowly walking between both for two hours, falling on the floor and picking myself up again, then trying to hug the wall. Using chalk (favourite childhood material) I carefully outline as much of my body as my position would allow me each time. The physical and emotional difficulty of this performance is unexpected.
Dolly (2011)
Dolly project explores the concept of 'Narcissistic patent' who is possessively close to their children and may be especially threatened by their child's growing independence. It was based on a book by a Swiss psychologist and psychoanalytic Allice Miller who is known for her writing on child abuse. I am expecting my first child and I am full of hope. At the same time, I am questioning my ability to become a 'good enough mother'. I am thinking about my own childhood and my mother's childhood a lot.
I sew myself a baby sized doll in preparation for the project using an old bedsheet. I make my dolly a crib out of materials which I collect abandoned outside such as bits of wood and wire. I sew objects such as hearts to decorate the crib and make it 'pretty'. During the performance I speak to Dolly and I rock her in the crib. I repeatedly rock her and sing a traditional lullaby in my native language until my voice starts shaking.
Prometheus explores the concept of togetherness between contemporary men and new mothers to be in the time of economic crisis. It is equally a more private encounter between myself and my husband, as we are about to have our first baby. My husband is made redundant in the recession and is attempting to rebuild a new livelihood while I am building a new life.
I attempt to remove my existential anxiety by translating his long days of physical labor into a project by using the heroic myth of Prometheus. I feel as if he is being punished in a similar way as he is taking part in a daily repetitively punishing performance. The Laser level instrument becomes Eagle the torturer.
The Odd one out – recent work
Most recently, I have started developing some ideas based on my daughter's favourite stories and games.Through play, we begun making 'Odd one out' drawings for each other.These ideas progressed onto making things out of clay. Using the kitchen utensils to create the bears (which were made jointly with my daughter) brought back my own childhood memories of baking cookies. I have remembered how much I enjoyed baking and reading and how vivid my imagination was, when I was her age.
At the same time, I have been taken aback by the brutal undertone of some classic children's stories, often involving absent mothers and wicked witches / step mothers. The idea of 'The Odd one' or 'The Other' resonates with the current immigration debate. It raises the questions of my own identity as well as the identity of my daughter, born to a migrant mother.

Born in 1978 in former Yugoslavia, Nuša graduated in sculpture and ceramics at Famul Stuart school of Applied Arts in Ljubljana in 2005. Also a qualified and practicing social worker, Nuša combined her twin interests in art and society in her Sociology MSc which considered the therapeutic value of postmodern 'death art' in 2010.
Primarily interested in performance art and installations, she draws inspiration from a wide range of sources but regardless of the form, her artistic work could be considered as some type of 'social commentary' as it is often inspired by people and events in her vicinity.
Nuša has been living and working in London for nearly a decade and has a small ceramics studio in her home. Most recently, she has been producing artworks with her little assistant.

[ A.M. No. 04-3-63-MTCC, November 23, 2004 ]
RE: REPORT ON THE JUDICIAL AUDIT CONDUCTED IN THE MTCC, BRANCH 5, BACOLOD CITY
QUISUMBING, J.:
On April 19 to 24, 2003, the Office of the Court Administrator conducted a judicial audit and physical inventory of cases at Branch 5, MTCC,[1] Bacolod City.
The audit team found that as of audit date, said Branch 5, with Judge Remegio V. Rojo presiding, had 965 pending cases. Only 60 of those cases were submitted for decision, but 42 of these were already beyond the 90-day reglementary period set for deciding cases. The audit team also found: (1) that Judge Rojo failed to take action in 10 civil cases despite the lapse of considerable time; (2) that there were 11 cases with pending motions for resolution, with one case already beyond the 90-day reglementary period; (3) that Judge Rojo failed to require bail in 21 cases involving B.P. Blg. 22 while the accused remained free; (4) that prosecution evidence was being presented in Criminal Case No. 02-02-2139 notwithstanding there had been no arraignment; and (5) that Judge Rojo had not been setting cases for hearing one week of each month since March 2003.
Based on the audit report, Senior Deputy Court Administrator Zenaida N. Elepaño issued an Order on August 8, 2003, directing Judge Rojo to:
EXPLAIN within fifteen (15) days from notice why no administrative sanction should be imposed on him for his failure to decide within the mandatory period the following forty-two (42) cases submitted for decision before him, to wit: Criminal Cases Nos. 88777 to 88782, 91245 to 91249, 78108 to 78116, 91768, 83394, 88668 to 88669, 52947 to 52948, 67106 and 85214, and Civil Cases Nos. 26212, 25771, 26234, 24857, 20701, 25381, 25919, 26496, 25642, 24488, 26816, 25578, 25972 and 26444;
APPRISE this Court, through the Office of the Court Administrator, why he failed to act for a considerable length of time on the following ten (10) cases: Civil Cases Nos. 26566, 24629, 27602, 26806, 25890, 24624, 26560, 28074, 28119 and 24369; and TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION on these cases;
INFORM this Court through the Office of the Court Administrator, whether he has rendered his decisions in Criminal Cases Nos. 88777 to 88782, 91245 to 91249, 94159 to 94163, 79047-79049, 84994, 88668-88669, 52947-52948, and 85214 and Civil Cases Nos. 27393, 26212, 27740, 25771, 26234, 24857, 20701, 25381, 25919, 26496, 25642, 24488, 27338, 26816, 25578, 25972, 26383 and 26444 and whether the pending incidents in the following cases have already been resolved, to wit: Criminal Cases Nos. 02-02-2064 to 02-02-2065, 97974-97977 and 02-7-2854 and Civil Cases Nos. 27146, 27148, 27149 and 27116;
SUBMIT to this Court, through the Office of the Court Administrator, within thirty (30) days from notice hereof, certified true copies of his decisions and resolutions in the aforementioned cases;
EXPLAIN within fifteen (15) days from notice why he should not be disciplinarily sanctioned for failure to require the accused in the following cases to post bailbond and yet are not detained: Criminal Cases Nos. 01-7-610 to 01-7-617, 01-5-61, 01-8-772 to 01-8-774, 01-10-1340 to 01-10-1343, 99305, 01-5-158, 83950 to 83951 and 01-5-241 and why the accused in Criminal Case No. 02-02-2139 has not yet been arraigned despite the fact that the trial is already in the stage of presentation of evidence for the prosecution; and
CEASE and DESIST from his practice of not setting cases for one (1) week every month.[2]
As required, Judge Rojo decided all 42 cases listed in paragraph (a) and submitted his explanations why he failed to decide those cases within the 90-day period. He immediately took appropriate action and decided the 10 civil cases listed in paragraph (b). As directed in paragraphs (c) and (d), he sent the Office of the Court Administrator copies of his decisions and orders, and resolved the pending incidents in Criminal Cases Nos. 02-02-2064 and 02-02-2065, 97974 to 97977 and 02-7-2854 and Civil Cases Nos. 27146, 27148, 27149 and 27116.[3]
Judge Rojo also explained why he did not require bail in the 21 B.P. Blg. 22 cases listed in paragraph (e), as follows:
Paragraph (e) of the directive—Criminal Cases Nos.:
01-7-610 to 01-7-617 (violations of BP 22)
A warrant of arrest was issued on October 8, 2001. It was returned with the notation that the accused could not be found. Thereafter an alias warrant of arrest was issued on September 2, 2002. It is still outstanding. The accused is not yet arrested by the warrant officer.
01-5-61 (violation of BP 22)
The accused put up her bail bond per O.R. No. 1161192 dated September 15, 2003 for P4,000.00.
A warrant of arrest was issued on September 23, 2002 but was not returned by the warrant officer. Accused is not yet arrested. It appears that the civil aspect of these cases are being settled extra-judicially by the parties. Criminal Case No. 01-8-775 was dismissed on September 8, 2002.
01-10-1340 to 01-10-1343 (violations of BP 22)
Court issued a warrant of arrest on February 12, 2002 and an alias warrant of arrest on March 14, 2003. Accused put up a bail of P5,000.00 per O.R. No. 1161065 dated May 7, 2003.
99305 (violation of BP 22)
The court issued a warrant of arrest on March 29, 2001. It was returned with the notation that the accused could not be found. An alias warrant of arrest was issued on March 15, 2002 but was not yet returned by the warrant officer. The accused is not yet arrested.
01-5-158 (violation of BP 22)
Court issued a warrant of arrest dated June 6, 2001. It was returned with the notation that the accused was bonded. No bond receipt is attached to the record. Court issued an alias warrant of arrest on March 15, 2002. It required the warrant officer to explain why he made the notation that the accused was bonded when in fact no bond was filed with the court. Court will take further action on its order. Accused is not yet arrested.
83950 to 83951 (violation of BP 22)
The accused is bonded for P4,000 per O.R. No. 6831097 Y dated September 1, 1998 (Annex "A").
Accused put up a bail of P1,300 per O.R. No. 1161191 dated September 12, 2003.[4]
He also explained that he proceeded to try Criminal Case No. 02-02-2139 despite the absence of an arraignment because of the erroneous notation made by his OIC-Branch Clerk of Court in the Information that the accused had already been arraigned on September 10, 2002. Judge Rojo added that he immediately rectified the error after the audit team alerted him. He set the case for arraignment on May 6, 2003, and again set it on September 17, 2003, when the accused failed to appear.
Finding Judge Rojo's explanations unsatisfactory, the Office of the Court Administrator recommended to this Court on March 16, 2004 that,
Judge Rojo be (a) SUSPENDED from office without salary and other benefits for six (6) months for gross neglect of duty for his failure to arraign the accused in Criminal Case No. 02-02-2139 and to require the accused in twenty-one (21) BP 22 cases to post bailbonds; and (b) FINED in the amount of Twenty Thousand Pesos (P20,000.00) for his failure to decide forty-five (45) cases within the reglementary period; and Twenty Thousand Pesos (P20,000.00) for making untruthful statements in his Certificates of Service; and
Judge Danilo R. Amisola, MTCC, Branch 4, Bacolod City be DESIGNATED as Acting Presiding Judge of MTCC, Branch 5, Bacolod City during the period that Judge Rojo is suspended.[5]
We agree that Judge Rojo should be held administratively liable, as herein discussed.
The records indisputably show that Judge Rojo neglected and failed to decide the following 45 cases within the 90-day reglementary period: Criminal Cases Nos. 88777 to 88782, 91245 to 91249, 94159 to 94163, 78108 to 78116, 91768, 83394, 88668 to 88669, 52947 to 52948 and 67108[6]; and Civil Cases Nos. 26212, 25771, 26234, 24857, 20701, 25381, 25919, 26496, 25642, 26816, 25578, 25972 and 26444. For this neglect and failure, he could not escape the appropriate administrative sanction.
Judge Rojo attributes the delay in the resolution of the cases to the failure of his Branch Clerk of Court to monitor the movement and progress of cases, lack of personnel, heavy caseload, and his recurring stomach pains due to stress.[7] His explanations, however, provide him no justifiable excuse for the infractions found per the audit report.
Judge Rojo's Branch Clerk of Court might indeed have failed to inform him of the cases submitted for decision, but it is clear negligence for a judge to rely mainly on his clerk to manage his caseload. He himself must keep track of his pending cases for decision so that he may act on them promptly. Although the Branch Clerk of Court is the officer primarily tasked to monitor the movement of cases, and to constantly remind the trial judge of the status of each case, it is Judge Rojo who is primarily responsible for supervising his staff and managing his caseload.
Under Rule 3.05, Canon 3 of the Code of Judicial Conduct, the trial judge has the duty to dispose of the court's business promptly and decide cases within the period fixed by law.[8] It must be stressed that the present clogged dockets in all levels of our judicial system cannot be cleared, unless every magistrate earnestly, painstakingly and faithfully complies with the mandate of the law.[9] Further, the public's faith and confidence in the judicial system is eroded by every delay in the disposition of cases.[10] The failure of judges to decide cases within the period provided by law warrants the imposition of administrative sanctions against them.[11]
The Court, in its pursuit of speedy dispensation of justice, is not unmindful of circumstances that may justify the delay in the disposition of the cases assigned to judges. It remains sympathetic to seasonably filed requests for extensions of time to decide cases.
Moreover, Judge Rojo had only to request from the Executive Judge of the MTCC of Bacolod City or the Office of the Court Administrator the detail of needed personnel, instead of allowing a vacancy or leave or absence of his staff to deprive the public of vital services, especially where the court has an unusually heavy caseload for a given period.
Likewise, in case of poor health, the Judge concerned needs only to ask this Court for an extension of time to decide cases, as soon as it became clear to him that there would be delay in his disposition of his cases.[12] We note that Judge Rojo made no such request.
It appears that Judge Rojo also neglected 10 civil cases for a considerable length of time. Further, he failed to give sufficient justification why he did not arraign the accused in Criminal Case No. 02-02-2139 before trying the case. In these instances, except for self-serving excuses, we are at a loss as to the real cause or causes of his gross neglect and failure to perform his tasks faithfully.
Contrary to OCA's recommendation, however, Judge Rojo may not be faulted for failing to require the accused to post bail in at least 21 cases involving violations of B.P. Blg. 22. Nothing on record shows that it devolved upon Judge Rojo to require bail. The accused apparently had made no motion for the grant of bail. Judge Rojo's liability in this instance, based on the audit team's report and from the OCA's memorandum to this Court, could arise from his failing to explain why the accused in said cases were reportedly "not detained."
We note that Judge Rojo has previously been fined P5,000 for the offense of gross neglect of duty.[13] This time, aside from gross neglect, we also hold Judge Rojo accountable for making untruthful statements in his Certificates of Service and for violation of Supreme Court Administrative Circular No. 3-99[14]. Judge Rojo falsely stated in his Certificates of Service for January 2003 to December 2003 that "all special proceedings, applications, petitions, motions and all civil and criminal cases which have been under submission for a period of ninety (90) days or more have been determined and decided."[15] Furthermore, Judge Rojo for some time did not set cases for hearing for one week every month. He thus violated Supreme Court Administrative Circular No. 3-99, which mandates the strict observance of session hours for all trial courts and adherence to the policy on avoiding postponements and needless delay.
Under Section 9, Rule 140 of the Rules of Court, acts of serious misconduct abovecited are classified as less serious charges for which Section 11 of the same Rule prescribes a penalty of either (a) suspension from office without salary and other benefits for not less than one nor more than three months, or (b) fine of more than P10,000 but not exceeding P20,000.[16] In this instance, we deem proper a fine of P11,000 for each clearly proven violation,[17] thus altogether calling for a total fine of P22,000 for the two violations duly proved.
WHEREFORE, Judge Remegio V. Rojo, presiding judge of Branch 5, MTCC, Bacolod City, is found LIABLE for (1) gross neglect of duty because of his failure and his delay to decide cases abovementioned, aggravated by untruthful statements in his Certificates of Service, as well as for (2) violation of Supreme Court Administrative Circular 3-99 when he did not set cases for hearing for one week every month. He is hereby ORDERED to pay a FINE of P22,000.00, with a stern warning that commission of the same or similar offenses in the future will be dealt with more severely.
