Edgy fiction wins out in Ockham New Zealand Book Awards shortlist
5 Mar, 2018 04:00 PM 4 minutes to read
The covers of Sodden Downstream, Salt Picnic, The New Animals and Baby.
Dionne Christian
Arts & Books Editor
If there's been a generational shift in New Zealand politics, it seems we're also seeing one in our literature.
The 2018 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards' short-list has been announced with three emerging writers – including a first-time novelist – joining established author Patrick Evans in the running for the $50,000 Acorn Foundation Fiction Prize.
The books are Baby by debut writer Annaleese Jochems; lawyer Brannavan Gnanalingam's Sodden Downstream, novelist and creative writing teacher Pip Adam's The New Animals and Evans' re-imagining of Janet Frame's time in Ibiza, Salt Picnic.
They were chosen from a long list of ten books which, when it was released in November, was also noted for the inclusion of new names such as Bonnie Etherington's The Earth Cries Out and Dominic "Tourettes" Hoey's Iceland. Veteran writers such as C.K. Stead and Witi Ihimaera, who both released new books last year, missed out on a place on the long list.
Today's release of short listed writers is likely to provoke further comment, given established writers Catherine Chidgey, Mandy Hager and Apirana Taylor were not selected and each of the short-listed books have polarised readers and reviewers.
The Spinoff website named Jochems' Baby as one its best books of 2017 and while it received widespread praise for the freshness of its writing and chilling lead character, others described it as "disturbing and surreal" and "self-absorbed".
Of Gnanalingam's fifth book, Sodden Downstream, Herald reviewer David Hill thought it needed more rigorous editing and that there were stylistic stumbles, but Hill ended by saying Gnanlingam, whose book Two Pies and A Penthouse was longlisted in the 2016 book awards, was a distinctive urgently relevant voice in NZ fiction.
Adams' The New Animal was recognised as original and challenging but, overall, reviews were lukewarm promoting Wellington writer Carl Shuker to pen a spirited essay in response to what he saw as the "shoddy response of most reviewers" to the book.
The response to Salt Picnic was more enthusiastic but the book flew largely under the radar.
Novelist, poet and academic Anna Smaill, journalist and reviewer Philip Matthews and award-winning bookseller and reviewer Jenna Todd judged the fiction prize. Todd, the convenor of fiction judges, says they sought exciting and fresh stories that we hadn't read before. The four short-listed titles stood out because they brought to the page characters not normally seen in NZ fiction and layered and truthful insights.

"I think we are seeing a new direction in NZ fiction," says Todd. "We found these books surprising and the stories simply stuck in our minds. These authors are pushing at the edges of what is possible in fiction in a style that's both engaging and brave.
"Maybe some of them will be polarising but that's exciting to see our writers being more adventurous and kudos should go to publishers for putting out stories that aren't safe. We really hope that New Zealanders will approach the books with an open mind and indulge themselves in some of these books."
They will be joined by Glasgow-based writer, journalist and founding editor of the Scottish Review of Books Alan Taylor to decide on the overall winner.
NZ Book Awards Trust chair Nicola Legat says the shortlist demonstrates the diversity, depth and skill of our writers. Legat agrees it seems to signal a change in direction and says given it's the 50th anniversary of the NZ Book Awards, it's an apt reflection of where NZ is at now.
"It's a very modern list and while I don't want to second-guess the judges, who have put a lot of thought into this, I think the fiction list shows where the novel can go and I think that's incredibly interesting."
In other categories, the finalists are:
Poetry Award:
• Anchor Stone by Tony Beyer
• Night Horse by Elizabeth Smither
• Rawahi by Briar Wood
• The Yield by Sue Wootton
Illustrated Non-Fiction Award:
• Tuai: A Traveller in Two Worlds by Alison Jones and Kuni Kaa Jenkins
• Totara: A Natural and Cultural History by Philip Simpson
• Gordon Walters: New Vision by Zara Stanhope (commissioning editor), Lucy Hammonds, Laurence Simmons, Julia Waite
• The Face of Nature: An Environmental History of the Otago Peninsula by Jonathan West

Animal Rescue of Fresno: Rescues of 2021
by Wendy Hunter
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.—Arnold H. Glasow
For those of you too busy watching the Hallmark Channel, or still in a Thanksgiving food coma, this tired year is almost over. I don't know how 2021 treated you, but I feel like it booted me in the bum, threw me down twelve flights of stairs, and then laughed in my face. Let's face it, this year sucked. It seemed like something earth shattering happened to my family every five minutes. It's a good thing we're down to the wire because I don't know how much more I could take before my brain explodes. This was supposed to be MY year, I was turning sixty, and great things were going to happen. It was time to turn over a new leaf, reach for the stars, and carpe diem! However, the leaves turned brown, the stars fizzled out, and instead of seizing the day, I dreaded most days. I went from Wonderful Wendy to Debbie Downer in a split second. I seemed to have a little black cloud raining over my head. We Hunters battled diabetes, dementia, cancer, cataracts, and one lousy car accident. We tented for termites, replaced a refrigerator, and paid to silence pesky pipes that rumbled in the walls. Oh, and we bought a new garbage disposal because it sounded like the Tasmanian devil had taken up residence in our old one...AARRGH!
This year, the world continued to battle this crappy virus that doesn't seem to be slowing down. Seriously, GO AWAY already. We're tired of rubbing our hands raw with sanitizer and wearing stifling face masks. I'm even beginning to forget what my co-workers look like, which in some cases isn't a particularly bad thing. We've had weird news and wacky stories. History was made when protestors stormed the Capitol, Tiger Woods crashed his car, Captain Kirk finally went into space, and Dolly Parton donated a million smackers to help end the COVID crisis. Her mega-hit, "I Will Always Love You," speaks volumes. Unfortunately, we lost many celebrities, including Hank Aaron, Cicely Tyson, Larry King, and Christopher Plummer; The Sound of Music wouldn't be the same without him. We also said goodbye to Cloris Leachman and Ed Asner, stars of the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Our next door neighbors were friends of the Asners, and they had a cabin at Shaver Lake. My family was lucky enough to spend a few days with them one summer, and we still reminisce about it. You'll also remember Asner from Pixar's movie, Up, as the balloon salesman who defiantly sails away in his house. And let's not forget Dug the Golden Retriever…SQUIRREL! SQUIRREL!
Shepherd pup
After surviving the whole Free Britney explosion, the end of the Kardashian family saga, and the much anticipated reunion of Bennifer, we managed to soldier on as those of us in the real world do. Animal Rescue of Fresno had a lot of things to celebrate this year, despite all the craziness. We began 2021 the same way it ended, with an overflowing puppy yard. We had a puppy palooza almost every month, starting in January, with four fluffy shepherd pups. As you can probably imagine, they were adopted in a heartbeat after over 300 inquiries from the public.
Shortly thereafter, we adopted out four more snuggly pups, and their mama Roxanne found a home later on. In February, we were blessed with the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Boards and their Construction Trades Pre-Apprentice groups. They provided some much needed tree trimming and fence mending. Go team! When March blew in, ARF was able to hold a yard sale and online fundraiser for our cute little Cookie, who desperately needed heart surgery. Our wonderful supporters answered our plea for help, and Cookie is now living the good life.
Just recently, a very shy ARF resident was adopted and now has a forever home for the holidays. Gracie arrived with a litter of puppies, and they were quickly adopted. And even though Gracie was shown many times to potential adopters, she just didn't warm up to them. But after patiently waiting, a small miracle happened. Just after Thanksgiving, she was adopted by a family with a sweet young girl, who picked out Gracie herself from our Facebook page. Now that's a reason to give thanks! At the Home and Garden Show this year, we were lucky to have so many of our dogs adopted. This event is always draining on the ARF volunteers, and takes its toll on sore backs and feet. But it's all worth it when one of our fur babies goes home. Now where's that Advil? When one of the dogs I've written about gets adopted, I am just ecstatic, especially for a senior. Zach is definitely one of those special dogs. ARF took him in after a domestic issue landed him at a local kill-shelter. He found his family and now has a little boy as his new best friend. Go Zach! Another dog I wrote about was our fearless Frenchie, who went from rags to riches, after starting life out abandoned in a dumpster. Frenchie had five surgeries for a prolapsed rectum, and after a full recovery, he was adopted by a wonderful couple. We shall miss his squishy face, but we wish him the best. And to those of you who pitched in and donated for Frenchie's surgeries, we say Merci!
This was the first year since COVID snuck into our lives that ARF was able to hold many events, including Celebrate a Senior. These are the most overlooked dogs in shelters, and are rarely adopted. Most of these fantastic dogs still have many years ahead of them, and are very active. Of course, there are those who just want to take up space on your sofa, but, hey, that works too. In addition, many seniors are already housebroken, and have better manners than younger dogs. Now that's a bonus for you. One senior who went home this year was Cassie, an adorable terrier who arrived with several mammary tumors. After raising $1900 for her surgery, ARF found her a loving home. Shimmer and Molly are older dogs that found homes, too, and now they'll be waiting up all night for Santa. Hey, is that a package of Pupperonis in my stocking?
In the fall, we held our second annual Make a Dog's Day event sponsored by Lithia Subaru of Fresno. These good folks are true dog lovers, and for each pet adopted, Subaru donates $100 to ARF. That will certainly buy a few Milk Bones. Just in time for the witching season, Fresno Mopars threw a Trunk or Treat Pawty, and it was a great success. ARF adored all the costumed critters, and scored $900 in donations. Now that's a treat! One of our biggest events took place twice this year, with the ever popular yard sales. If you can't find something you need in this ARF grab bag, then they don't make it. These sales are a huge amount of work, and physically exhausting, but they are always worth it. Thanks to everyone who came by to purchase a book or a beer stein.
Speaking of which, our new friends at Machine Head Brewery sponsored two events for us, and people raved about the evenings. The New Year will be a new start for a couple more senior dogs that formerly lived in the ARF office. Bo is a white poodle who recovered from a case of vertigo, and Caisson is a blind black poodle. We couldn't contain our excitement when both were adopted into great families. Good boys!
Another good boy who got adopted is Amazon, who had surgery for a broken leg. On the streets for weeks, he was found in the Amazon parking lot after being hit by a car. Overwhelming financial assistance from the public made his operation possible, and he made a complete recovery. He now has a home and his very own Prime account. Once again, the Saving Train hit the road to SoHumane in Oregon, for hundreds of dogs with winning golden tickets. To those volunteers who help with the trip, and put in the long hours, I salute you.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention all the love we received in 2021, even from total strangers. Like the great kids at 5HelpFresno who raised funds for a month and donated it to ARF, the three siblings who earned $192 with their lemonade stand and bought goodies for the dogs, and the brave women who rescued a terrified dog from a canal…then came back to adopt him. A personal thanks from myself to all the volunteers who've picked up the slack while I've been out with my bum eyeballs. I shall see you very soon.
Oh, and don't forget to come see Santa on December 4 for the ARF Annual Open House! Are you on the naughty or nice list?

2021 animal rescue Animal Rescue of Fresno pets


First order of business for Gaylord Middle School students who are part of science teacher Charles Fain's taxidermy club?
Measure the squirrel the students will learn to mount over the course of the club.
Students then skin the squirrel.
"And in the process of skinning it, you do it in such a way that you save all the toes and whiskers and everything -- it's more involved than if you were trapper and skinning an animal's hide for fur," said Fain.
Next, students have to "flesh" the animal. That is, they have to remove any fat or residual meat on the skin-side of the squirrel. Then, the students run the skin of the squirrels, either provided to them by hunters in the Gaylord community or by hunters in their own family, through a solution of 50 percent denatured alcohol.
Finally, they rub the skin with Borax, a compound often used in detergents that helps preserve the skin. While the skin preserves, students set eyes in the foam forms to which the squirrels will be mounted, and prep tails to attach to their taxidermied squirrels.
"Then, the last hour, the kids take blow dryers and toothbrushes and basically go to hair salon school with their animals," said Fain. "They fluff 'em and primp 'em and that's it."
By this point in his teaching career, Fain has the teaching of taxidermy down to a science. He started the club 29 years ago, when he was hired to be a science teacher at the Gaylord Middle School.
And in addition to running the taxidermy club, Fain teaches an elective on outdoor education. In his class, middle schoolers learn what's going on in the Michigan wilderness by season. Some of Fain's sections include snowshoeing, fly fishing and fly tying, tapping maples for syrup, and camping.
Students also get to cruise the woodlot at the Otsego Environment and Learning Site -- a plot of land behind the middle school that includes a cabin, pond and woodlot and serves as an outdoors classroom for the students.
In the woodlot, kids can learn not only types of trees, but can estimate the board feet in a particular tree, or how mammals live in the wild.
"We want people to understand, who live in the natural world, the region that we have," said Fain. "And how (living in the natural world) plays an important role in maintaining a healthy environment."
The taxidermy club is almost an extension of the outdoors class. It teaches students to not only learn taxidermy skills, but math, biology and anatomy as well.
"A lot of the kids get into taxidermy club because they're interested in going into veterinary medicine or the medical field," said Fain.
And of course, there's the taxidermy component. Such a club would have been a dream for Fain when he was his students' age. Interested in taxidermy, but without resources, Fain sent away for mailings of taxidermy instructions through outdoors magazines.
"I talked to several taxidermists (as a kid), but they were pretty tight-lipped," he said. "It was kind of a school of hard knocks."
But the Gaylord students are guaranteed success: they leave the club with a mounted squirrel, and a few even stay around to take on more complicated projects, such as mounting a snowy owl or, this year, a coyote.
Some of the projects, such as the snowy owl and the coyote, stay in Fain's classroom where he uses them to teach.
"We just finished up a mammal unit, and we use the mounts to learn general information about mammals, specifically Michigan mammals," said Fain. "We have a number of birds: a couple of different owls mounted in the classroom, a couple of hawks, some game birds, pheasants, grouse and we've got a wading bird called the American bittern. A lot of these animals you can't have at home."
Because Fain is an educator, he gets a special license to have a mounted snowy owl or American bittern in his classroom -- something the general hobbyist wouldn't be able to have.
The Gaylord students can use these specimens to learn characteristics about animals that live in Michigan, and see them in a way they would never be able to in the wild, said Fain.
So the worth of such a club and class goes deeper than taking home a taxidermied squirrel or estimating the board feet in a 50-year-old oak tree. The value might be understated and long-lived, said Fain.
"More and more, we have kids who are really less in touch with the natural world ... and more families busy and maybe involved in soccer and basketball and things like that, who don't have time to go out as a family and go camping or hike or fish," said Fain. "My philosophy is, especially if you live in Northern Michigan, you need to understand the outdoors. It would be a crime to grow up here in Northern Michigan and not."


We are heading into March and in this weeks show we introduce everyone to our next Gamer of the Month. Moroniccow and I sat down with Mr. March and covered Mr. March's background, customization in games, rebooting franchises, and the Borderlands Community Talkback.

Joe Root: England's response to pressure was 'exceptional'
Joe Root was proud of the way his side had come though periods of adversity after completing a 3-1 series win over South Africa at Old Trafford on Monday

England captain Joe Root was proud of the way his side had come though periods of adversity after completing a 3-1 series win over South Africa at Old Trafford on Monday. The Yorkshireman's first series as England captain ended with a convincing 177-run victory in the fourth Test at Old Trafford. South Africa, set a mammoth 380 to win, were bowled out for 202 shortly after tea on the fourth day. Moeen Ali ended the match with two wickets in two balls, having finished off England's 239-run third Test win at The Oval with a hat-trick.
Monday saw off-spinner Moeen finish with innings figures of five for 69 to cap a brilliant series where he took 25 wickets in total and scored 252 runs. Several ex-England captains criticised Root's men for a lack of application after South Africa levelled the series at 1-1 with a huge 340-run win in the second Test at Trent Bridge.
"I am really pleased with the way the series has gone," Root told Sky Sports after England completed back-to-back series wins over South Africa for the first time since 1964.
'Credit to South Africa'
"Credit to South Africa, they put us under pressure a number of times throughout but the way our guys have responded has been exceptional," the star batsman added. "We have had to overcome a number of different challenges, but the way we have played as a unit, especially the last two games, we have been brilliant."
Concerns remain over England's top order batting, a problem the selectors will look to address in an upcoming three-Test series at home to the West Indies that precedes an Ashes defence in Australia later this year.
"We have got a lot of hard work to do in the future but it was a great series. It has been a fantastic team performance and that's what it takes to win a series like this, everybody contributing and that's what we have had this time around," added Root.
South Africa checked England's progress with a fourth-wicket stand of 123 between Hashim Amla (83) and skipper Faf du Plessis (61). But Moeen then took three wickets for five runs in 11 balls, including the prize scalp of Amla, shortly before tea and there was no way back for South Africa.
It was the end of a lengthy and unsuccessful tour for the Proteas.
They were also beaten by England in one-day international and Twenty20 series and suffered a hugely disappointing first-round exit in the Champions Trophy ODI tournament as well.
"England were well deserved winners of this series, they were consistently the better team," said du Plessis. "Three months in England has been a tough time for us. At times we showed some real good fight but consistently England were just coming up with answers. The quality of the English bowling was superb this series, they were relentless. As a batting unit we felt we could never get on top of them and from a runs point of view we felt we didn't do ourselves any justice."
Moeen took 10 wickets in England's 211-run win in the first Test at Lord's and never looked back.
"I feel like I got into a good rhythm after that. I have done a lot of work and I have had a lot of consistency this series," said Moeen.

Coffee With The Lord
The Best Way To Start the Day- Coffee With The Lord
About Bartel
By lrbartel	Devos
God can rescue you even when it feels like you're drowning!
There are quite a number of terrifying experiences that a person could have. It seems to me that one of the most terrifying would be the experience of drowning! Apparently, King David thought so as well! He likened a terrible experience that he was going through to the experience of drowning in Psalm 69.
So how does a person pray when they feel like they're drowning? Here's how David prayed…
"Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck! I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God… But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness! Deliver me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters! Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me!"
What a prayer! What passion! What an expression of faith in a terrible circumstance! And the response?
"I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving… For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people… Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them. For God will save Zion [His people]!
I don't know what terrifying situation you may be facing! It may feel like you're drowning! If that's the way you feel right now I'd make David's prayer, my prayer! I'd pray it passionately and sincerely… and I'd depend on the Lord in his steadfast love and faithfulness to rescue me!

Understanding the Policy of Selling Used Mattress
November 24, 2019 Pearl WhitchurchBusiness, Law, Resources
At home, one of the furniture or items that we prefer to be in a great condition and quality is the mattress because it is where we actually spend most of our time, sleeping and just lying down on a weekend or a holiday. For me, even if I do not have a bed frame or a nice pillow, as long as I have a nice mattress, I will not have any problems. However, no matter how careful we are when it comes taking care of our mattresses, there will come a time when we have to buy a new one. But instead of disposing the mattress, I personally think that it is better to sell it for various reasons:
Saves you money when buying a new one
Will save you time thinking of where to put your used mattress
Will help other buy cheap mattress
Since re-selling mattress is the best option when deciding to buy a new one, a lot people preferred this option. However, in some countries you cannot easily do this as they have laws for the resale of mattresses. One of those countries is Texas. In Texas, the government has an existing laws for the reselling of mattress. They are preventing people from buying a used mattress that is not worth its price because there are many cases wherein the mattress has stains and lots of bacteria inside it. Texas, still allows the resale of such item, but the mattress must pass a certain standard before entering the market. Sellers must carefully clean the mattress inside and out and fix all damages.
In country like Texas, it is the government that takes care of sale of used mattress. The condition of the mattress must pass standards indicated in the Texas Administrative Code Rule 205.8.
When it comes to cleaning and treatment of mattress, the government states that treatments that involve chemicals are allowed and other commercial services are allowed.
There are many sellers that conceal damages and stains using covers. The Texas government does not allow the use of covers and must be eradicated even after undergoing treatment methods.
Palestinian Journalists Protest Action Draws International Support from Social Media
November 23, 2019 Christy SingletaryJournalismPalestinian Journalists, We are all Muath Movement
Palestinian journalists have long been at the forefront in calling the world's attention on how the Israeli occupation has resulted to abuse and agression by Israeli forces. However, many of those journalists were also among those who suffer as a result of such aggressions; from arrests to serious injury, and at worst, death.
The most recent incident of violence involved Muath Amarneh, a Palestinian photojournalist who took a hit in the eye from a shot taken by an Israeli sniper, while Amarneh was documenting Israeli soldiers in Israeli-occupied Hebron.
Although the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) issued a statement condemning Armameh's shooting, the condemnation continued to fall on deaf ears as far as Israeli auhtorities are concerned. Even the sit-in protest against Armameh's wounding held by Palestinian journalists in Bethlehem, did not escape the Israeli force's abusive treatment.
As the PJS stated
"The Israeli forces' aggression against Amarneh, only represents a part of a series of attacks launched by the occupation forces in order to suppress and prevent Palestinian journalists from covering Israel's continuing occupation of the Palestinian people."
Even the Peaceful Sit-In Protest Was Not Spared from the Aggression
The sit-in solidarity protest saw dozens of activists and journalists coming from across Gaza and the West Bank, to show solidarity in voicing condemnation not only the violence committed against Amarneh but for many other journalists who were either injured or killed by Israeli forces in the past years.
Akram al-Waara, a Palestinian freelance reporter for Mondoweiss, told of how the Bethlehem sit-in protesters took to the streets with one eye covered to symbolize Amameh's eye injury. However they were immediately dispersed when Israeli forces started firing tear gas. The sound bombs sent the crowd of protesters scampering for safety.
Akram added the Israeli forces not only suppressed the protest rather quickly but also and went after people, detaining a handful of them for several hours. Akram reported that any journalist filming the protest was a target.
Palestinian Journalists Turn to Social Media for Support
Unable to take their peaceful demonstrations to the streets, the protesters flooded social media sites with one-eyed photos of themselves. The collage of photographs came captioned as "We are All Muath." Underneath was a brief explanation of the reason why they covered their eye with either their hand or with a patch is to highlight the result of an Israeli sniper's intentional shooting of Amarne, who was at that time was documenting Israeli soldiers occupying Hebron.
The Palestinian social media post immediately drew the attention of international journalists particularly Activestills photographers, who joined the protest by posting similar one-eyed photos of themselves under the hashtags "The eye of the truth will not be shut" and "We are all Muath."
How Much Politicians are making in a Year?
November 19, 2019 Bradley HarmonUncategorized
A politician's salary will range from 0 to 6 figures. And this is in the US. For those serving at local levels, they earn the least but for those in the federal as well as state offices, these politicians are generating the most income. If you would think of running in the public office, say for example in the Congress, you should know what your paycheck would look like.
Obviously, the answer will depend on the job that you will be taking. Much like when you check out job boards in vacatures Techniek, you are going to find various jobs with varying amount of income. Elected officials on town councils might have a small stipend but mostly, unpaid volunteer jobs. Majority of the county-level elected officials have pay in which you could make a living. However, the cream of the cake is really at the state and the federal levels in which a politician's salary really begin to rise tenfold.
Given, how much a politician in the US really make? This is a rough figure and should not be considered as true and valid.
The US President has an annual income of 400,000 dollars a year for the service rendered in the nation. The Congress gives the president a raise almost 5x since former President George Washington took office.
Then the vice president is paid for 231,900 dollars.

The members of US Senate and House of representatives are earning a base salary of 174,000 dollars per year.
There are people who think that it is too much given the fact that there are few days debating legislation in a year. Then again, there are those who think that it is too little, with the workload they face outside the Senate floors and the House.
An elected governor of a state are paid anywhere between 70,000 to 190,000 dollars. As a matter of fact, Maine Governor Paul LePage is the lowest paid governor with salary of 70,000 dollars per year. Second-lowest in the list is Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper who is salaried at 90,000 dollars per year. And as for the highest paid governor, it is Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania who generates 190,823 dollars a year followed by Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam making 187,500 dollars a year.
Is It Illegal To Purchase Counterfeit Goods?
November 12, 2019 Steve YoungBusiness, Lawcounterfeit goods, counterfeit products, counterfeits, federal law
Replica watches as well as other replica goods seem to be increasing in prevalence in the offline and online marketplaces. Although their design is inspired by an original brand, they are legal as they leave off the trademark or distinguishing logo of the genuine brand. They are even sold by reputable companies. However, there are goods which are actually illegal in its production, distribution and sale, as well as its transport – counterfeits.
You probably have seen or have come across a counterfeit product, especially with its prevalence today. Or perhaps you have unknowingly bought one, just to later discover that the brand promoted at an unbelievable price that's hard to resist wasn't the brand at all. With heightened globalization broadening the production and sale of products and goods all over the globe with the plea of lesser prices, counterfeiting has turned into a major trade. This is exactly the case in the United States wherein it houses one of the biggest and major markets for consumer products.
Counterfeit Goods – What is it?
Most often, counterfeit goods are goods of substandard quality which are sold by another business's trademark. A trademark is an officially and legitimately recognized company logo or mark that are customarily attached or marked onto products and goods it sells in the market. These trademarks safeguard the reputation of a company and permit consumers to differentiate between goods and products in the market. These trademarks never expire and, as soon as the trademark is registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the company could exclusively make use of its mark in the United States and could lawfully stop other companies and businesses from utilizing even identical looking marks if consumers become confused by it.
Is it Unlawful to Purchase Counterfeits?
Federal law in the United States protecting these trademarks makes it unlawful to intentionally traffic goods that are counterfeited. This involves the manufacturing, sale as well as the transport of counterfeits. However, the Department of Justice of the U.S. has specified that the law does not outlaw a person from purchasing a counterfeit good for their own usage, even though they know that the product is a counterfeit.
Traffickers of counterfeit goods who are first-time offenders could get a maximum of $2 million penalization and 10 years jail time, while Second-time offenders gets a $5 million penalization and 20 years jail time. Furthermore, if a company traffics in goods that are counterfeit, it could be answerable to a $15 million fine.

Cheyenne Animal Shelter Decision Regarding Training Exercise
Posted on September 18, 2018 by Staff in Local News, News // 0 Comments
CAS 9-18-18
The Board of the Cheyenne Animal Shelter unanimously adopted a policy that does not support the use of animals in pepper spray training exercises. The decision to use an animal, aggressive or not, in pepper spray training as a way to simulate a realistic scenario and demonstrate its effectiveness for employee safety is one that the Shelter Board feels was not justified and cannot support. After reviewing all of the facts of both incidents, the Board feels confident that the decision to use an animal for pepper spray training was not made with the intent to cause harm or inflict punishment on the animal. However, it also feels that the decision was rash and made without proper consideration of alternative training methods. Mr. Fecht, as the CAS CEO, is expected to demonstrate and ensure that all decisions he makes with regard to the organization uphold and protect the organization's mission.
Last night during an Emergency Board Meeting the Shelter Board voted to suspend Mr. Fecht for 60 days without pay and as a condition of his return to full employment he must provide to the Board within 30 days an acceptable plan of action to restore the trust of the Shelter community in his abilities as the President and CEO at the sole discretion of the board.
The Shelter Board, beginning immediately, will be closely involved with reviewing and implementing corrective action. The Shelter Board understands that loss of trust has resulted from these incidents and will work tirelessly to do better by the organization and the community beginning with requesting a best practices audit and improving community input. The Shelter is already working to review and improve measures to ensure employee safety.
The work of the Cheyenne Animal Shelter is never ending. We appreciate your support and comments. Please feel free to contact us at ShelterBoard@caswy.org.
Board Statement Regarding Incident:
We cannot adequately express the gratitude we have for a community that shares a love for animals and their generous support in providing for the homeless and abandoned animals.
The Cheyenne Animal Shelter is a haven for thousands of dogs and cats every year giving them another chance at finding their forever home. Every person serving this mission brings their heart and soul to the table to make this happen. The failures are heartbreaking. Any stone left unturned to offer that new beginning to one of these precious animals is a tragedy. It is our collective goal to succeed every day.
We've heard some say the facts don't matter, yet we believe you deserve to know. We believe it is the Board's duty to know and share the facts.
The Cheyenne Animal Shelter (CAS) Board owes a professional and fiduciary responsibility to the organization. It is the responsibility of shelter leadership to make decisions that are in the best interest of the organization. The Shelter Board takes employee injuries and claims of animal abuse very seriously. Both the dog attack and pepper spray training were unprecedented and extremely serious personnel matters that required strict adherence to procedures. The Shelter Board has appreciated the opportunity to complete its due diligence. The Shelter Board conducted a thorough investigation to fully understand all the events that surrounded both incidents. The Shelter Board's Administrative Committee interviewed the employees and Animal Control Officers who had personal knowledge of the events. They also interviewed the employees and former employees who made the allegations. Committee members also conducted research on various issues relevant to the incident. The Administrative Committee provided a comprehensive overview of the facts learned, to date, and what was still left to discover, to the Animal Shelter Board and Animal Shelter Foundation Board at an emergency executive session board meeting, held on Wednesday, September 12th. At the meeting individual Board members and invited guests asked questions and suggested additional areas of inquiry. The Administrative Committee continued its investigation into those areas that required further review. After completing the internal investigation the Administrative Committee presented a summary of findings report and recommendations at an emergency executive session board meeting, held on Monday, September 17th. The Shelter Board unanimously adopted a policy that does not support the use of animals in pepper spray training exercises.
With that said, the Shelter Board owes a responsibility to the organization to address and correct misinformation relevant to both incidents. With regard to the dog attack on a Shelter employee that occurred on September 4th, the incident was a dog attack, evaluated using Dr. Ian Dunbar's Dog Bite Scale as a Level 4. A Level 4 describes the dog as having insufficient bite inhibition and is very dangerous. Five additional CAS staff worked together to get the employee being attacked safely away from the attacking dog. All six employees, including the victim of the attack, should be recognized for following protocol that safely returned the dog to his kennel, removing the employee from further harm and prevented any other employee from being injured. Mr. Fecht was out of the office the day of the attack. The dog, named Tanner, was a 80 lb, unaltered, male, pit bull that was abandoned at a local vet clinic that called CAS to come get the dog. The dog was picked up and came to CAS on August 31st. The Shelter Animal Control Officer (ACO) that picked up the dog reported concern about handling the dog after speaking with the staff of the organization. The pepper spray training, although not condoned by the Shelter Board, was conducted in a professional manner by a trained ACO. The pepper spray was sprayed into the air and moved across the dog's nose once. It was reported that the dog, who was agitated from being on the catch pole, immediately redirected and began pawing it's nose. The dog was immediately washed for several minutes with water, which is standard procedure following pepper spaying of humans or animals, and closely monitored after being returned to the kennel. The pepper spray did not cause the dog to cough up blood. According to an ACO, in all of his experience with pepper spray it has never caused a dog or human to bleed. Once inside, the dog evacuated mucus and water (light pink in color) from his sinuses, one time, one. Pepper spray is thick in viscosity, which allows near pin-point accurate aim and is dark pink/red/orange in color. All procedures were followed following the pepper spray training to ensure the dog was not suffering ill effects.
The decision to use an animal, aggressive or not, in pepper spray training as a way to simulate a realistic scenario and demonstrate its effectiveness for employee safety is one that the Shelter Board feels was not justified and cannot support. After reviewing all of the facts of both incidents, the Board feels confident that the decision to use an animal for pepper spray training was not made with the intent to cause harm or inflict punishment on the animal. However, it also feels that the decision was rash and made without proper consideration of alternative training methods. Mr. Fecht, as the CAS CEO, is expected to demonstrate and ensure that all decisions he makes with regard to the organization uphold and protect the organization's mission.
Last night during an Emergency Board Meeting the Shelter Board voted to suspend Mr. Fecht for 60 days without pay and as a condition of his return to full employment he must provide to the Board, within 30 days, an acceptable plan of action to restore the trust of the Shelter community in his abilities as the President and CEO at the sole discretion of the board.
These terrible incidents have brought awareness to several policies and procedures that are lacking and do not currently provide the appropriate level of employee and animal safety. The Shelter Board, beginning immediately, will be closely involved with reviewing and implementing corrective action. The Shelter Board understands that loss of trust has resulted from these incidents and will work tirelessly to do better by the organization and the community beginning with requesting a best practices audit and improving community input. The Shelter is already working to review and improve measures to ensure employee safety. The Board recognizes that transparency and communication with the community are vital and will be improved.
The mission of the Cheyenne Animal Shelter is to enhance the quality of life for animals and people through compassion, respect and education. The Board shares in the community's compassion for the animals, takes its responsibility to the organization very seriously and has an immense amount of respect for the hard, underpaid and unpaid work of Shelter employees and volunteers. Cheyenne Animal Shelter employees and volunteers pull together as group to do more with less, all with the goal of providing as many abandoned or surrendered animals as possible with new forever homes. They make tough decisions on a daily basis and do amazing work. The Shelter Board promises to do better.
Statement from Bob Fecht, CEO and President:
The Cheyenne Community and the Cheyenne Animal Shelter have recently been embroiled in a controversy over actions that I and I alone undertook. Many of the shelter staff and members of the Board of Directors have felt the repercussions of the controversy both professionally and personally. I wish to apologize to our entire staff, Board members and the community as a whole for creating this situation and embarrassing our organization in the process.
The Cheyenne Animal Shelter has for years been considered one of the premier shelters in the United States, and it has been my privilege to work with our outstanding staff. There was never any intent to cause injury or damage to the animal involved, nor was there any intent to tarnish the reputation of the organization. While my primary goal was driven by an intense desire to protect our employees who are subjected to animals of questionable character every single day, upon reflection I realize that the decision I made was a personal and emotional reaction on my part and I sincerely regret not having considered alternatives before acting.

By Dean DeRosa (History Interpreter at George Washington's Mount Vernon and NPS Volunteer at Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial)
The Arlington Historical Society greatly appreciates Mr. Dean DeRosa's expertise and time in preparing this article and allowing us to present it here on the AHS website.
Three elderly gentlemen, circa 1918. Their photos are not unlike the images many today might find in their old, treasured family albums. Two of the gentlemen would leave little historical record but extensive and proud families in the Pacific Northwest. The third gentleman would leave no posterity, but an important historical record of his time. Paraphrasing his own words, the third gentleman would leave no family, but the record of a good soldier!
Robert Knox Sneden (1832-1918) was an architectural draftsman and American landscape artist. During the Civil War he served as a private in Company D of the 40th New York Infantry and as a topographical engineer in the Third Corps of the Army of the Potomac .
He would survive the Civil War and remain unmarried throughout his life. He died nearly a pauper at the Soldiers' Home in Bath, N.Y., in 1918. However, he was a good soldier, and left a good war record.
Robert Knox Sneden as a young man, his diary, and as an elderly man.
Specifically, he left a personal diary of nearly 5,000 pages containing detailed watercolor paintings, maps, and sketches of Civil War battlefields, landscapes and prisons – including Crew & Pemberton Prison in Richmond, VA, and Andersonville Prison in Georgia where he was incarcerated after his capture by John Mosby and the "Grey Ghost's" band of rangers in November 1863.
Sneden's Diary, consisting of several volumes – the largest collection of its kind covering the Civil War, was acquired by the Virginia Historical Society in the 1990s. The diary is the basis of two VHS-sponsored books: Charles F. Bryan, Jr. and Nelson D. Lankford, eds., Eye of the Storm: A Civil War Odyssey (New York: Free Press, 2000); and Charles F. Bryan, Jr., James C. Kelly, and Nelson D. Lankford, eds., Images from the Storm (New York: Free Press, 2001).

Dec 11, Exch'd, Florence, SC
Dec 26, Arrives home to NY
Over a period of three and half years, Sneden saw action in a number of major battles fought in Virginia. As a member of General Heintzelman's Defenses of Washington staff located at Arlington House (1862) and Washington, DC (1863), he would travel widely around the Capital and the Northern Virginia area.
Presented here are some of Sneden's watercolor landscapes and other illustrations of his travels in and around the City of Washington, and especially those relating to Arlington House, the home of Robert E. Lee and his family, where Sneden would be stationed during the Fall of 1862.
July 1861. Mozart Regiment (40th NY Infantry) at Camp Wood, Yonkers, New York July 3, 1861.
On enlistment, Sneden would serve as the regiment's assistant quartermaster.
Encampment of the 40th N.Y. Volunteers (Mozart Regt.), Leesburg Turnpike Va
Sneden arrived in the Washington area with the 40th NY Infantry in August 1861. The Mozart Regiment established its camp along the Leesburg Turnpike, just outside of Alexandria.
A period map of the Alexandria-Arlington area in May 1861.
AIn addition to the cities of Alexandria, Georgetown & Washington, note several landmarks: Arlington House and Arlington Springs, Aqueduct Bridge and Long Bridge, Fairfax Seminary, Arlington Mill, Baileys Crossroads, Falls Church, major roads (Fairfax County Road–Glebe Rd, Leesburg Pike, Columbia Pike, and Little River Turnpike) and principal railways (Loudoun & Hampshire RR and Orange & Alexandria RR).
The Marshall House. King Street Alexandria Virginia. Where Col. Ellsworth was shot.
Alexandria was a site of Virginia secessionist unrest at the outset of the Civil War, with the killing of Col. Elmer Ellsworth at the Marshall House hotel (today, the Monaco Hotel) in late-May 1861.
Sudley Springs Church Battlefield of Bull Run, Vth Hospital for Union Army, July 21, 1861.
The Civil War would commence in earnest in the Northern VA area with the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861.
After the First Battle of Bull Run, the Alexandria-Arlington area appeared as it does in this map. Note Confederate forces hold several key positions, especially the high ground along Leesburg Pike (Munson and Upton Hills). The rebels also made forays along the Old Fairfax County Road (today Glebe Road), burning prominent houses along the way, for instance, the Hall house near Mt Olivet Church and the present day Arlington Hospital.
View of Munson's Hill from Bailey's Cross Roads, Va. Sept 1861
Among the most prominent positions held by the Confederates threatening Washington was Munson's Hill overlooking Leesburg Pike–today the Seven Corners area. The rebels hoisted a large Confederate flag atop the hill that could be seen from across the Potomac in the Capital. Sneden presumably witnessed this scene first hand, from a position near Bailey's Corner–somewhere beyond the 40th NY regiment's encampment. When the Confederate troops abandoned Munson's Hill, the Union troops found "Quaker guns" instead of abandoned canon. [Quaker guns were used as a deception tactic and were simply wooden logs painted black to look like a real canon. They were an effective way to misleading the enemy about the strength of an emplacement. They were named for "Quakers" or the Religious Society of Friends or "Quakers" who traditional oppose war and violence. ]
Fairfax Courthouse, October 30, 186
Confederate forces would finally withdraw, allowing Union troops to occupy Fairfax City and begin better protecting and fortifying the City of Washington, namely, through the construction of forts surrounding the Capital under the so-called Defenses of Washington command—first headquartered at Arlington House.
Sneden's account of visiting a crudely constructed guard post at the Aqueduct Bridge located on the Virginia side of the Potomac River, in November 1861.
In his account from his diary, Sneden writes:
"Nov 27th 1861 – I went today to look at some of our defenses and earthwork rifle trenches now complete. And sketched some of them for Gen. John Sedgwick's use. The blockhouse and stockades which had been erected months ago were nearly deserted as earthwork forts had been now built further inland from the Potomac River – only a small guard was at one blockhouse near the head of the Aqueduct Bridge on the Virginia side. which crosses the Potomac from Georgetown to the low grounds below Arlington House. I went as far as Fort Ethan Allen near Pimmit Run and returned by rear of Arlington Heights where Forts Woodberry and Craig were in an unfinished state. No guns were mounted in many of the works, but platforms were all laid and magazines built."
Some engineering forms explained
Different types of fortifications were used by the Defenses of Washington. Here Sneden illustrates some basic designs, highlighting the irregular design of Fort Ethan Allen whose remnants today are found in Arlington along the northern stretches of Old Glebe Road.

Mt Vernon as viewed by Sneden in December 1861. Both Confederate and Union forces respected the grounds of George Washington's home. The mansion and surrounding 200 acres were purchased from John Augustine Washington, Jr., a great-great-nephew of George Washington, by the present-day Mt Vernon Ladies' Association in 1858, for $200,000.

In January 1862, Sneden joined the staff of Gen Samuel Heintzelman at Ft. Lyon as a topographical engineer or map maker. This scene shows Ft Lyon at right, with the City of Alexandria in the background and roads to Union encampments in the middleground (Leesburg Pike and Little River Turnpike).

In October 1862, Gen Heintzelman takes command of the Defenses of Washington, with headquarters at Arlington House. Sneden occupies a tent on the grounds but has access to the mansion, presumably to conduct his mapmaking and other staff activities. Notice the outbuildings appear different than today. Also, the south wing of the mansion is missing its chimney.

North perspective of Arlington House (the watercolor is mislabeled). Note the tomb of Mary Randolph in the foreground at the left. Also (again), the north wing of the mansion is missing its chimney. One can also make out in the distance what appears to be the octagonal "summer house" situated in the flower garden on the south side of the mansion.
Photo in Sneden's diary of Gen. Heintzelman (center) and staff at Arlington House, 1862.
Within Arlington House, Sneden reports that a number of Washington relics are still to be found, including in the attic where Sneden rummages around and even "confiscates" several items. Among the items he finds in the attic are old and antique furniture, fire screens, lamps, old pictures, military books and several trunks full of Gen Lee's letters 20 or more years old.
Sneden also discusses the GWP Custis paintings of Revolutionary War battles, noting the most prized ones in the series had already been removed from the mansion and placed on display at the Patent Office. Others in the series, it seems, may have been left behind at the mansion. And Sneden is certainly familiar with the September 1853 Harper's Magazine article by Benson Lossing about Arlington House and its treasures, because he includes in his diary engravings of the Custis paintings and select Washington relics (Martha Washington's strong box and the Washington bed) from the article. The engravings and their descriptions are apparently clipped and transcribed, respectively, directly from the Lossing article, possibly using a copy of Harper's Magazine found within the mansion.
From Sneden's account, it seems that Mr. Custis' paintings were not taken by Mrs. Lee in her flight from Arlington House in mid-May 1861.

Page from Sneden's diary describing Arlington Spring, again based on Benson Lossing's 1853 article in Harper's Magazine. Sneden also reports the existence of a Contraband Camp below Arlington House, holding 500 former slaves and their families provided for by the US Government. Sneden's illustration of the inhabitants of the contraband camp is seen in the next image.
Sneden writes in his diary:
"Arlington Springs – Sept 1862 and Contraband Camp. Below Arlington and on the banks of the Potomac are the Springs. Before the war this was the favorite resort of picnic parties from Washington and Georgetown. An open dining pavilion 60 feet long with kitchens to[o] were built here by Mr. Custis while a fine storing of ice cold water at the foot of an aged oak tree made the locality suitable for this purpose. A Contraband camp is now located here of about 500 negroes with their families who are sheltered in army tents and fed by government."

Headquarters of Maj. Gen. S.P. Heintzelman USA Commanding the Department of Washington at corner of 15 1/2 Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington D.C. January 1863
In December 1862, the headquarters of the Defenses of Washington were moved to the City of Washington, where they occupied a house formerly owned by a Southern sympathizer, at 15th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue. Gen. Heintzelman continued to head the command, with Sneden still assigned to the command as its topographical engineer.

Fort Ramsey on Upton's Hill, near present-day Seven Corners, in 1863. The fort was manned at the time mainly by Union signal corpsmen. However, immediately after the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861, Upton's Hill was held by rebel troops, along with the nearby Munson's Hill overlooking the Leesburg Pike.

The inset photo shows Mrs. Greenhow and her daughter at the prison in 1862. The prison was located at the present site of the US Supreme Court building.
Fort Stevens, Washington. 1863
Fort Stevens in NE Washington, in 1863. The fort was attacked in July 1864 by Confederate forces led by Jubal Early.
Plan of the Rebel Attack on Washington, D.C. 11th and 12th July 1864
As an aside, this Sneden's map of the Confederate attack on Ft. Stevens, July 1864. The map might have be originally drawn or sketched by Sneden during 1861-1863, but embellished later, after the War, to illustrate the attack on Ft Stevens. Note Ft Stevens was attacked on the Union right by rebel forces under the command of former US Vice President, John C. Breckinridge, and defended by Union troops from Massachusetts. President Lincoln observed the fighting first-hand from the ramparts of Ft Stevens, but was warned by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (later Chief Justice of the Supreme Court) to crouch down to avoid being shot: "Get down, you fool!" yelled the future Supreme Court Justice. And continuing the aside on the Confederate attack on Ft Stevens in mid-1864, recall the images of the three elderly gentlemen, circa 1918, introduced at the outset.
By now, we are well acquainted with the first gentleman, Robert K. Sneden (1832-1918). The second gentleman is Philip T. Shrewsbury (1851-1922), and the third gentleman is James A.T. Groseclose (1841-1927). Philip Shrewsbury was born in Mercer County, VA (now West Virginia) and did not serve in the Civil War.
James Groseclose, however, was born about 50 miles south of Mercer County, in Bland County, VA. Being of sufficient age, with his two brothers, James served in the Confederate infantry during the War, and in July 1864 his brigade (51st VA Inf) was under the command of Gen John C. Breckinridge during the attack on Ft Stevens.
Miller's House, Brandy Station, Virginia. Headquarters of Maj. Gen. French commanding 3rd Corps. Nov 26th 1863
In August 1863, Sneden tired of his work in Washington, and chose to join the field staff of Gen William French, Third Corps, Army of the Potomac. In October, Sneden was stationed at the Miller house, illustrated here, at Brandy Station, VA. On November 18, learning a major battle (the Battle of Mine Run) was about to begin, Sneden mailed his diaries and drawings home to NY. On November 27, Sneden was captured at the Miller house by "Grey Ghost" John Mosby and a band of his rangers. Under questioning by Mosby and his men, Sneden was pistol-whipped but not seriously injured.
Top: Libby Prison from Scott's Building. Bottom Left: Castle Thunder, Richmond Va.. Bottom Right: Crew and Pemberton Prison, Richmond, Va.
On November 30, Sneden was incarcerated in Crew and Pemberton Prison, a converted tobacco warehouse, in Richmond, VA. The facility was principally for privates and other enlisted Union prisoners such as Sneden, but located very near Libby Prison which was reserved for Union officers in the same warehouse district of Richmond.
View of Andersonville Prison, Georgia from Capt. Wirz's Headquarters at the Fort. Sept 17th 1864.
Among Sneden's most famous illustrations are those he made (on a clandestine basis) of Andersonville Prison, where Sneden was held from February 1864 to December 1864. Shortly after the War ended some of his illustrations and sketches were the basis for newspaper and magazine accounts of the prison's harsh and brutal conditions.

Antonio Smith, 9, was fatally shot in Chicago's Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood and his heartbroken family is searching for answers, reports ABC7Chicago.com.
Smith was going to be entering the 4th grade in two weeks. Instead, religious leaders, lead by Father Michael Pfleger, have raised $13,000 to help bring his killer to justice.
Murry said she called police to report her son missing when he wasn't at home when she got off work.
"We called the police. I said, I want to report him missing. Maybe five minutes later, the police came to the house. They asked me to show a picture of him. Once I did that, they told me to come to the hospital," Murry said.
Smith had been found near Kimbark and 71st Street on Wednesday afternoon, a few blocks from his home, reports ABC7Chicago. He was pronounced dead about an hour later at a local children's hospital.
He was shot in the chest, arm at hands, according to his mother, including once in the heart.

Inadequacy of the committee system of decision making
The number and gravity of technical policy decisions to be taken has brought with it a multiplication of committees: faced with an awkward problem, the appointment of a committee is a means of obtaining a variety of views and of evading or postponing a political responsibility. But the difficulty under modern conditions is that, if a subject is so profuse and complex that it cannot be assimilated by a single human intellect, setting up a committee superimposes a new layer of problems arising from the mere existence of the new body, and multiplies the difficulty of comprehension by the members of the committee.
In large administrations, the committee system prevents the formulation of sound policy decisions. At the committee level, as at the national level, the assemblage of a group of constituents who not only possess different departmental interests but also differing bases of information as well as different individual approaches, results, after the benefits which certainly flow from the dialectical process have been obtained, not in an optimum decision in the light of processed facts, but in a compromise arrived at in the light of what different members of the group be. Thus many modern technical problems, instead of being solved or improved by a compromise, are merely aggravated by it. The committee, used in conjunction with existing 'vertically' structured administrative and decision-making machinery, is thus as much a hindrance as an aid.
Broader Problems:
Inadequate meeting methods
Fragmented decision-making
Ineffective decision-making processes
Cumbersome methods of policy formation
General obstacles to problem alleviation
Lack of systems for achieving grassroots agreement
Related Problems:
Bureaucracy as an organizational disease

Q: How to choose data range in python I have problem when I use    .mean to calculate value of mean in csv file. I use .read to read my csv it looks like:
       Adj Close
0      0.007427
1      0.002013
2      0.008874
3      0.006018
...    .....
999    NaN

when I .mean to calculate, the result is different with the one which calculate by excel. So I am wondering is that "NaN" or "Adj Close" affect my result? And how to make it right to get correct result?
Adj = pd.read_csv('XXXX.csv', usecols=["Adj Close"])

this is how I read my csv file. Thanks in advance!

A: If you are are iterating over the rows in Pandas, it probably skips the values with NaN, while in excel it takes it as "0" when makes the calculation

One of the biggest struggles that come along with planning a wedding involves adding all the decorations and extras that you always wanted all while staying within your budget. There may be some important details in the ceremony that you simply can't do without, and others that you may love but have to cut out because you can't afford it. It's rare for a bride to start planning her big day and to actually end up with every single thing she had on her list of must-have items. Especially if the couple is paying for the ceremony themselves without any assistance from their parents or other family members.
The good news is that it's very possible to have a dream wedding while planning on a budget. You just have to make some strict decisions on what can't be left out, and what you can live without. Do some research online and find out more about helpful low-cost wedding ideas. You can also use a wedding budget calculator to assist you with keeping track of your balance so that you won't go over your limit.
What is a Wedding Budget Calculator?
A wedding budget calculator is a financial tool that you can use to help you stay on track and prevent you from going over your wedding budget. There are several of these free tools available online and each one may have different features or a different way to use them.
Generally, a wedding budget calculator has a place where you can enter in your desired wedding budget. Then you will click on the submit button. If you are using the wedding budget calculator offered by the digital photo printing and gift company Shutterfly, the button will say "Suggest a Budget".
Once you submit your desired budget, you'll receive a recommended spending allowance for various items such as the wedding venue, the catering company, the reception venue, invitations, attire, flowers decorations and so on.
You have the option to adjust the cost of each item and remove anything that you don't want. The wedding budget calculator will then provide you with your total budget plan, which is the total of what all the items you keep on the list and the price you added in. If the total amount is less than the amount which was suggested by the wedding budget calculator, you are doing good but may still need to make adjustments based on what your actual wedding budget is.
And if your total budget is more than what the calculator suggests, you will definitely need to do some adjusting.
You can always add in a new desired budget amount and play around with the budget calculator until you get the right numbers that you and your fiancé can work with.
Which Wedding Budget Calculator Would Work Best for You?
There are several other wedding budget calculators that you can find online. These tools are free to use and can often be found on websites that you would normally visit when you are planning your ceremony such as The Knot or Zola.com. Here are a few great options for you to use so that you can successfully have the wedding of your dreams regardless of your budget.
Your Wedding Company is a user-friendly website that is filled with helpful information for brides-to-be. To use their budget calculator, you enter your estimated budget, and then go over the checklist removing any items that you don't want and entering in the estimated cost for each item you do want.

There is a planning section which is where you will find the budget calculator among other useful topics such as ideas for your hair, your makeup, or the wedding cake.

The Cost of Wedding website breaks down the cost of an average wedding in the U.S. and helps you stay within your budget plan. This site lets you research the amount of a wedding in your local area, so that you can compare the cost of the vendors you will likely use, instead of getting a national average that will not be too accurate.

The Knot is a well-known website for brides and all things wedding.

The website offers a variety of helpful articles and tips focused on everything that you have on your mind at the time. It is just another useful site that all brides should have bookmarked.
You may not be able to afford hosting the wedding of the year, but it can still be the wedding of a lifetime for you and your significant other. There are plenty of things that you can do to ensure that you have a dream wedding that stays within your spending limit.
Whether you want to invite everyone you know to help you celebrate your big day, or just want to invite your extended family and friends, keep in mind that the number of guests at your wedding will have an impact on your final cost. The number of guests determines everything from the size of venue you use to the number of dinner plates you have to pre-order from the caterer. Cut your list down to those that you feel must be there and then cut it again if you have to if the number of guests is wreaking havoc on your wedding budget.
If you have already established a home either on your own or along with your soon-to-be spouse, you may not need all the cookware and bath towels that you are sure to receive from your guests. So instead getting you a lot of items that you don't need, ask your bridal shower guests or wedding attendants to help out with the ceremony instead.
You may have some friends who are musically talented and can provide the music. Or a sister who has always been great with photography. Some guests may prefer to help out financially and give you the money that they would have spent on a gift. This money could go toward paying for the venue, or to pay for your honeymoon.
There are plenty of great wedding budget calculator tools available from the websites mentioned above. These sites specialize in helping brides make their wedding day even more special. As you are putting their wedding budget calculator to good use, be sure to check out their articles, planning tips, and vendor suggestions as well.

Amidst storm, Diamond Bank appoints Acting-chairman
Diamond Bank Plc has made a crucial appointment of acting Chairman amidst the storm of acquisition ongoing which will span till the end of first quarter of 2019. To ensure smooth transition between the two banks, Mr. Dele Babade, has been appointed as the acting chairman. He succeeds Mr. Oluseyi Bickersteth, who recently resigned as a director and chairman of the bank.
In a statement signed by the bank's Company Secretary and Legal Adviser, Uzoma Uja, the bank indicated that Babade's appointment took effect on December 24, 2018.
The acting chairman was first nominated by First Carlyle Growth V (Carlyle) and his appointment as a non-executive director was approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) with effect from April 20, 2017. Carlyle is one of the major shareholders in the bank.
Babade's mandate is to oversee the business combination between Access bank and Diamond Bank Plc. The transaction is projected to be completed in the first half of next year and will see Access Bank as the post-merger bank.
Last month, Bickersteth and three non-executive directors resigned their positions. The development, analysts and banking sources said, was to pave the way for new capital injections and the new investors to have more feelings about the banking operations.
Diamond Bank is merging with Access Bank, in a move that pointed towards outright acquisition by Nigeria's tier-I bank. The deal projected to be completed in the first half of 2019 will see Access bank as Nigeria's largest financial installation.
Carlyle, the United States (U.S.) private equity firm declined comment when Business Insider sub-Saharan Africa contacted the group on the Access-Diamond Bank deal.
The Memorandum of Agreement and announcement of headline terms valued Diamond Bank at approximately NGN72.5 billion, about $200 million. The business combination will see Diamond Bank shareholders receiving N3.13 per share in cash and shares.
The bank's shareholders will receive a consideration comprising of N1.00 per share in cash and the allotment of two new Access Bank ordinary shares for every seven Diamond Bank ordinary shares held as at the implementation date.
The business combination is expected to form a leading Tier 1 Nigerian bank and the largest bank in Africa by number of customers, spanning three continents, 12 countries and 29 million clients.
It will brings together treasury, risk management and corporate banking expertise with strong retail and digital banking capabilities to create a financial institution operating across the full suite of products for all customer segments.
Who is Dele Babade?
Babade holds Bachelors and Master's degrees in Laws from University of London and was called to both the Nigerian and English Bar.
He started his career with Midland Montagu London (the predecessor of HSBC Investment Bank) on the Graduate Training Programme in 1988 and at various times worked in the UK and Greece mainly in Corporate and Merchant Banking.
He joined Citibank in 1993 and garnered experience from Citibank's Emerging Markets business focusing on businesses beyond Africa and became Vice President in charge of all cross border/international deals for Africa in 1996.
In 1998, he joined Nomura International in London as a Director for Investment Banking for Africa.
After re-joining Citibank in 2000, he was moved to Nigeria and Ivory Coast in 2001 as Executive Director covering Nigeria and West Africa and was a board member of Citibank Nigeria from 2001 to 2006.
He also served as Citibank's Director & Regional Head Sub-Sahara Africa Corporate Finance & Investment Banking based in South Africa from 2002 to 2006.
He started his own investment advisory firm in 2007 but left briefly to join Ecobank Transnational Inc as Head of Ecobank Capital from 2010 to 2012 and was also a member of the Group Executive Committee, the top executive body for overall direction of the Ecobank Group. Since 2012, he has been running his firm focusing on inward cross border transactions across the African continent.
He currently serves as Chairman of the Africa Risk Capacity Pan African Insurance Company (ARC Ltd) and is also the Chairman of its Finance and Investment Committee. ARC Ltd is a financial affiliate of the African Risk Capacity, a specialised agency of the African Union (AU), an initiative designed to improve current responses to climate-related food security emergencies.
