The list of Jeeps on this page includes Willys Jeeps with serial numbers in the normal series (with prefixes 453GB2, 453GC2, 454GB2, OB54, 57348 or 8105). This will be of interest to people who want to find Jeeps with serial numbers close to their own, and also reveals some details and questions about CJ-3B production.
Please submit information on your CJ-3B if it is not yet included. We are approaching 2,000 Jeeps on the list. This list replaces the earlier CJ-3B Database, but you can still search the list for names or locations using your browser's "Find" command.
This list is ranked in order by serial number. Engine numbers are also included, where available and where the engine appears possibly original, but there are certainly some errors in that area.
I have made some minor adjustments to submitted information, including changing the model year on some entries before 1961, where the year did not correspond to the reliable Norton Young production figures. This corrects errors due to the original title being changed or lost, or the Willys practice of updating titles of unsold vehicles at the end of a model year.
The list includes the "OB" serial numbers at the beginning of 1954, but does not seem to shed much light upon their significance.
Other letters were stamped at the end of the serial numbers of CJ-3Bs exported between 1954 and 1958. The significance of the choice of letters is not clear, but they appear on Jeeps in a number of countries, so they were presumably added in Toledo. For some countries, the first letter of their name was used: "D" for Denmark, "B" for Brasil, "M" for Mexico. "A" appears once in our list, in South Africa, which may be why it wasn't used for Australia. The letters L, R, S, T and U appear on Jeeps sent to Australia. "H" shows up in several different countries.
Having more engine numbers might help clarify the significance of the large gaps in the list of serial numbers. Currently there are not enough entries in the areas of the gaps, to determine whether there are corresponding gaps in engine numbers, or whether they increase steadily.
Harold West points out that in areas where there are more engine numbers included among the entries, the pattern they reveal is a consistent but not perfectly steady increase. Clearly engines were not installed on the assembly line in exactly the same order they were manufactured. In the Argentinian entries, and in some places in earlier years, the pattern can be clearly seen; Jeeps with serial numbers within ten units of each other or even consecutive numbers, will typically have engine numbers differing by up to 100 or more. (But there is also the fascinating 1964 consecutive pair of 8105130049 and 8105130050, which have engine numbers separated by only two.) In looking at the Argentinian entries, engine numbers in occasional cases are so out-of-sequence that it appears the engines may have been switched between Jeeps during military service.
Keith Buckley has done some further analysis of this for us -- see Plotting Engine Numbers.
Some Jeeps have engine numbers which are clearly not original, and were taken from another vehicle. Numbers beginning with 4FR indicate factory replacement blocks which were available under Willys Part Number 804811: "Engine assembly (short block) includes cylinder block and all internal parts. Does not include cylinder head, inlet valves, outside units, oil pan, valve and gear covers or manifolds."
There is a very large gap of some 6,000 units near the end of the 57348 series in 1964, with just two more entries following it. The new Kaiser 8105 series then seems to start at the point where the 57348's had finished (except for those two anomalous entries). So it's still not completely clear how the switch between the two series was made; those two entries which seem to break the continuity are a puzzle. Knowing how the Toledo factory hated to waste anything, I would think it's not impossible that a few of the old VIN tags appeared on the assembly line and were stamped with numbers from the new series.

Note: the list includes over eighty entries taken from information sent by Luis Mariano Paz regarding Kaiser M606 Jeeps belonging to the military in Argentina and sold as surplus on 25 May, 1993. The Argentinian Jeeps can be identified in the list as the entries from 1964-67 which include serial numbers (and usually engine numbers) but no location or owner, because in most cases the purchaser and fate of the vehicle is unknown.

"Because others think it's impossible, doesn't mean it's not possible for you. Because you cannot imagine the height of your dreams, does not mean it's unattainable. We are limitless beings, our potentials overflowing."
– Roshan Isaacs
STYLE AFRICA Founder/ Editor- in- Chief ; AFRICA MODEST FASHION COUNCIL Regional Director
Indeed, Roshan embodies every word she quotes. She is fearless, passionate, talented, motivating, full of energy, and she is unstoppable!
With her relentless and daring approach to attaining every success she enjoys today is a kind of story we all want to hear.
Roshan Isaacs is a modest fashion advocate who travels the world's fashion events, curating for international fashion shows and films, spoke at international economic forums, featured in numerous magazines, appeared in many talk shows; being the Regional Director of Africa Modest Fashion Council, the creator and the Editor- in- Chief of Style Africa; the Managing Director of NoMemo accessories; former General Station Manager at e.tv (Pty) Ltd; the host of her self- run Podcast series called "On My Radar" which features her interviews with leading modest fashion figures from around the world.
"I've been involved in the Media and Communications Industry as a Broadcast Operations professional for 23years. Thereafter stepping into the giant Fashion Industry, marketing the South African culture and image through its original and diverse design and style identity"
But despite being at the pinnacle of success every woman dreamed to be at, Roshan is some of the rare humble heart we spoke to. She graced us with this interview even how busy she is.
Let us all get to know this very inspiring woman!
MFD: When did you discover your fondness for fashion?
I grew up in the fashion industry. My dad was a fashion designer, and so everything in fashion was second nature to me. As a young girl, I enjoyed creating clothes for my dolls. In my teens my sisters and I completed last minute finishing on garments which my dad designed us. During the early days of my career, I designed and sewed together my own outfits. It was a challenge finding clothes for a modest career woman, which again sparked my creative styling for my everyday modest wardrobe. This led to turban styling, and eventually promoting a fashion industry. My fondness for fashion has always been constant.
Roshan Isaacs
MFD: Please tell us about your career journey, as one of Africa's leaders in fashion?
Although my career started in the media industry, I began accumulating the necessary skills due to my growing fascination with the African fashion and modest fashion industry. I studied Fashion and Personal Styling with the London School of Trends, and Makeup Artistry with the Institute of Makeup Artistry.
My career began in radio with multiple positions; presenter, producer, programmer, studio technician, and later I moved into television broadcasting and began to learn the intricacies of creating a television broadcast network, which over years excelled my knowledge and skill until I eventually took over as Station Manager of a national network in South Africa.
After almost 15years in television, I had a yearning to assist the design industry in reaching global shores. I then created the company Style Africa to promote, develop, and drive the identity of South Africa through fashion. It was during this time, I felt I wasn't represented as a South African, or as a muslim woman. With Style Africa gaining popularity worldwide, I reached out to a network of people who influenced the business of fashion. This eventually lead to my role as South Africa Region Director in the Islamic Fashion Council and thereafter my move to the Council of Modest Fashion as the Africa Region Director.
I've been invited to adjudicate International Fashion Film Festivals, curate designers for global fashion weeks, join a panel of judges for the graduates of the Cape Town Fashion Design School, and represent South Africa at the World Islamic Economic Forum on the panel discussion on whether "Islamic Fashion can become Haute Couture."
MFD: What do you do being the Editor- in- Chief for Style Africa? Please enlighten us about African fashion.
I curate editorial content that reflect many different cultural aspects of African fashion and design, with the aim of celebrating and showcasing the vast pool of talent within Africa from established, well-known designers, to up-and-coming young talents. I also look for opportunities to collaborate with creative that wish to produce content from an African perspective. Style Africa has a broad network of Creatives, thereby offering a full fashion production service for film, TV, commercial, editorial…etc.
Fashionable Roshan at a gala
MFD: And being a hijabi woman and Director of Modest Fashion Council Africa, where do you want to bring African fashion?
I want African fashion to claim it's unique identity. History has inculcated strong influences from a non-African perspective. Due to this mix of cultural influence, it has allowed us to create designs that both reflect a new culture, a traditional culture, a religious culture, and an infusion of cultures. Formulating innovative designs and breathing a style identity unique to Africa.
MFD: And what are you expecting from modest fashion designers in Africa, specifically South Africa?
I'd like to see modest fashion designers take more risks, and create pieces which identify their unique capabilities. At times we play it safe, however there is a growing generation of designers who experiment with original ideas and incorporate sustainable goals in their designs. I also expect to see modest fashion designers become confident in trading globally.
MFD: Tell us about your business, the story behind NoMemo fashion accessories?
No Memo designs & manufactures notable & affordable fashion jewelry and corporate gifts, handmade in South Africa. All designs are locally manufactured, while simultaneously empowering less fortunate women in Cape Town, South Africa to generate an income.
MFD: We read your profile and we think you are an amazing woman who have accomplished a lot of things. Please tell us about studying Film/ Motion Picture, and how did it contribute to your expertise and knowledge.
My Film, Media and Communication studies allowed me to learn how we as individuals evolve through our environment, influences, internal insecurities, and experiences. When working in Fashion or Media it is an advantage to understand the visual story we tell through our dress and behaviour.
Roshan during the early years of Style Africa
MFD: What are the challenges did you face throughout your career being a hijabi woman?
I never saw my hijab as a challenge. I saw it as an advantage. I was rejected for so many positions because I wore a hijab, but my sincerity in wearing hijab made me realize that my faith would open the right doors, and close the wrong ones.
MFD: We love your style- the turban and all, and we are curious as to how did you evolve with such style? How did your fashion style/ signature look evolve?
I grew up around the fashion industry, but started with full hijab while in my teens. In my 20s I experimented with different styles and began wearing a turban and later in my 30s this evolved to many stylish turban styles that I eventually was known as the Turban Queen. Eventually teaching others how to style their turban.
MFD: Please tell us about "On My Radar"
On My Radar is a multi media platform that inspires, motivates and shares stories of global entrepreneurs who inspire us to live a purpose driven life.
MFD: What kind of impact /legacy do you want to leave behind? How do you want Roshan Isaacs to be remembered most?
I'd like to be remembered as someone who was able to inspire and motivate others to value themselves, think positively, and live life to the utmost.
MFD: Our teens are following our footsteps, what can you advice to empower our youths?
There's no limit to what you can achieve unless you limit yourself. No one has control over you, everything you do is for your benefit and Allah's. So go forth and live your purpose and not someone else's expectation of you.
Being South African fashion's wonder woman who opened the gates of African fashion and especially its modest fashion to the world, Roshan Isaacs believe that, "Modesty signifies how I value my worth. It's the way in which I guard my mind, body, and soul, and indicates to others how I wish to be represented and respected. Thereby benefiting and empowering my interaction with others."
And for all people to reflect from, we close this article by sharing one of Roshan's fashion philosophy;
If you value yourself, your clothes will reflect this.. Your character dresses you before you do.

"Yi Mei Ren" ( means literally Yi (Minority) Beauty. This tea is named "Yi Mei Ren" as its made from Wu Liang Mountain material, an area inhabited primarily by Yi Minority people and bears similarity to both and oolong and a black tea in its fragrance and taste.
SKU: BKTA023. Category: Black Tea. Tag: Yi Mei Ren Wu Liang Mountain Yunnan Black Tea * Spring 2015.
"Yi Mei Ren" ( means literally Yi (Minority) Beauty. This tea is named "Yi Mei Ren" as its made from Wu Liang Mountain material, an area inhabited primarily by Yi Minority people and bears similarity to both and oolong and a black tea in its fragrance and taste. Yunnan large-leaf varietal material is used and the tea is wilted and fermented like a black tea, but for a longer period of time with several intervals of vigorously shaking the leaves. This promotes more thorough wilting/fermentation and leads to it's darker color.
The brewed tea is highly aromatic with a chocolaty sweet taste with no noticeable astringency. The tea liquor is super clear and deep gold with tinges of red if brewed longer. Due to the higher level oxidization this tea can be stored for several years with subtle changes in aroma and flavor.

The Gaylordsville home of Alexander Quinn and Ashleigh Buccellato stand in the bedroom of the Gaylordsville home which was severely damaged Tuesday night when a tree fell through the roof causing the house to catch fire. Wednesday, September 5, 2018, in Gaylordsville, Conn.
NEW MILFORD — A couple and their pets escaped serious injuries when a tree crashed down on their house last week, causing it to erupt in flames.
Alex Quinn, who was asleep in the home at the time, said he woke up around 11 p.m. on Sept. 4 after hearing a loud crash. After inspecting the house, he discovered a huge tree had fallen onto the single family home, smashing through the roof.
"It brought down the electrical wires that were sitting next to the house and there were a lot of sparks," Quinn said.
Within moments, the exterior of the home caught on fire.
"That's when I knew we had to get out," he said.
Quinn and his girlfriend grabbed what they could before fleeing the structure, including their 18-year-old Jack Russell terrier named Scout and two cats named Simi and Cleo.
The tree, which was nearly two feet in diameter at its base, snapped near the ground and fell on top of the single-story home on Route 7 near the Housatonic River.
There was no storm at the time and no apparent reason why the tree fell, authorities said.
Fire Marshal Brian Ohmen said the tree did significant damage to the home's attic, but didn't penetrate the ceiling.
Ohmen said responding firefighters quickly doused the flames before it spread to the rest of the home. Firefighters from several companies, including Water Witch, Gaylordsville and the Kent Volunteer Fire Department responded.
Quinn praised the work of the volunteer firefighters in knocking down the blaze and offering any assistance they could.
Quinn, who had been renting the riverside home for nearly three years, said he had a small recording studio inside.
They also asked Quinn and his girlfriend if they needed any other assistance.
The animals were staying at a relative's home while Quinn was working Wednesday with the American Red Cross. The home is unlivable.


United as one - for government for all.
The United Party exists not as a "third-party challenge" to the Republican and Democratic parties, but as "the party" to fix the deep divisions in our country that have been caused by our chaotic and corrupted two-party system.
A core principle of the United Party's platform is a fundamental belief that all Americans are meant to have their voices heard in what is supposed to be a representative constitutional democracy. This stands in stark contrast to our current situation, whereby our governments at all levels (federal, state, and local) have in many ways been degraded by the influence of money, as well as the equally damaging mindset of "party over country."
Overall, the United Party's primary initial goal is the undoing of these treacherous ills that have besieged our governmental institutions for far too long, so that integrity. values, common sense, and decency can finally return to American politics.
Integrity is a vital to a politician. Without it, government officials are not trusted, and by extension, people also lose faith in government institutions themselves.
Another key ingredient to successful government lies in having government officials who are able and willing to exercise good judgment and make practical decisions. This process is greatly improved when said government officials are willing to accept advice from experts. It is also greatly improved by a well informed citizenry--provided the citizens are granted the proper opportunities to share their thoughts and concerns with their elected officials--and also provided that those same elected officials are able and willing to (1) take advice from experts, and (2) consider the thoughts and concerns of their constituents.
Whether you call it propriety, decorum, or just plain good manners, acting with decency should be a bare minimum requirement of ALL politicians and elected officials. In a nation such as ours, which for many serves as that shining beacon on a hill--symbolizing hope, freedom, and liberty--we should all be demanding more dignity and respectability out of our politicians and elected officials. When kindergartners are expected to treat others with kindness, courtesy, and respect--and taught that it is possible to disagree without being disagreeable--it should go without saying that there are no legitimate reasons why anyone should excuse behavior by adults that do not comply with the same principles; especially if the adults in question are supposed to be serving in a leadership capacity.
The United Party is not just a political party--it is a movement. A sea-change coalition of activists and everyday citizens who aren't asking for the moon--They are just asking for what is right."

Ritchie Industries Manufactures Quality Products with ecomate®
admin August 7, 2012 June 1st, 2022
A customer of ours, Ritchie Industries, Inc., was featured in this month's US Business Executive magazine.
Ritchie Industries, Inc. – A Solid Reputation for High-Quality Products
Ritchie Industries Inc. (Ritchie Industries) has been manufacturing a product that makes farmers and animal owners alike happier since 1921. Any person who has owned an animal that is stabled outdoors will gladly volunteer that one of the biggest annoyances is carrying buckets of drinking water out to the animals. The Conrad, Iowa-headquartered company offers the solution to this situation with its complete line of livestock, dairy, horse, swine, sheep and goat waterers.
Mike Gerbo, an executive vice president with Ritchie Industries, outlines the company's history in the industry as follows: "Thomas Ritchie founded the company in 1921 after he patented the first heated automatic watering device. After a number of years, Ritchie sold the company to Lennox Industries, who allowed the brand's name to lapse, but the company was eventually purchased by C.D. Wilson in the mid-'40s and he revived the company. When C.D.'s son Cliff Wilson Jr. wanted to retire, the company made its final sale to its employees in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan [ESOP] and since then Ritchie Industries has thrived."
Ritchie Industries has maintained a reputation for quality construction and durability throughout its 90-plus-year history producing heated fountains. From a single horse Stall Fount to CattleMaster fountains capable of accommodating 500 heads of livestock, Ritchie Industries has developed a line of dependable products that continually delivers on the company's motto, "Fresh water for life." Gerbo reveals one of the most common things that he hears at industry trade shows is dairy and cattle farmers stating they purchased a Ritchie Industries fountain 20 or 30 years ago and it's still in great condition.
Only Product Like It on the Market
Ritchie Industries' products are designed to provide a continuous water source regardless of the weather, and they are so efficient that a unit only costs the owner $15 to $20 to operate throughout a season. Ritchie Industries' products assure a minimum of standing water, a fresh and clean trough, rapid refill, and the ability to withstand tough environments. The company stands so firmly behind the quality of its construction that all Ritchie Industries fountains come with a 10-year warranty. And the company is continually working to improve on an already rock-solid product.
Gerbo notes that technological advances in plastic in the last 10 years have allowed the company to introduce a revolutionary new product: the hybrid unit. "It has a stainless steel trough that is heavily insulated with foam and plastic, which makes it extremely efficient and durable," Gerbo proudly continues.
"We're the only company building a model like it."
Despite its renowned product and continual advancements, the company was affected by the economic downturn like the rest of the industry, but prepared well in advance to minimize the impact. "In the fall of 2008 we saw where the industry was headed and we predicted internally that business would be off by about 20 percent, which was actually extremely accurate," says Gerbo. "We made a lot of adjustments to our overhead, and instead of retreating we increased our spending on marketing and advertising and it has paid off extremely well. We've not only regained our lost market share, we've gained more."
Ready to Break Open a Huge Market
The company has long been established with dairy and cattle farmers as a premier brand, so Ritchie Industries' management team made the decision to promote itself in a long overlooked market.
"The equine market in the U.S. is huge; there are roughly 10 million horses and the industry has grown tremendously in the last 10 years," continues Gerbo. "We aligned ourselves with the industry's leaders like Clinton Anderson, the leading horse trainer in the country, and have been making great inroads into the equine industry."
Ritchie Industries also recently launched a marketing campaign with a high-profile public relations firm in Louisville, Ky., to further promote its brand within this new sector. "We're very excited about our inroads in the equine industry," maintains Gerbo. "Currently between 90 to 95 percent of all horses are still watered out of a stock tank with a bucket. The market potential is huge."
With its network of dealers, Ritchie Industries is an industry leader across the U.S. Gerbo additionally estimates that the company's operations in Canada comprise roughly 12 to 14 percent of the company's sales annually. The Internet, however, is steering business to the company from places where Ritchie Industries doesn't advertise. "We've sold stuff to Inner Mongolia and Turkey," says Gerbo. "We're selling in Japan, Estonia, Holland, Germany, Ukraine … and we're getting a surprising amount of business from dairy farms in Russia."
Ritchie Industries has a long history with its vendors and distributor partners and Gerbo maintains that one of the reasons for the company's success has been its loyalty to its distributors. "We are very protective of the relationships that we have created over the years," he adds. "We never sell around them, but if someone purchases from us directly from the Internet, we still give the distributor their cut of the sale. It's the way the Internet should be used."
The name Ritchie Industries Inc. has been synonymous for well- built heated water fountains in the cattle and dairy industries for over 90 years, and the company's entry into the equine industry is yet another smart move on the part of a savvy, highly efficient company that is poised for even greater growth.

Tim Finch: A Progressive Conservative Policy on Migration
Scroll to the bottom for Tim Finch's response to your comments
Tim Finch is chief policy adviser on migration at the Institute for Public Policy Research. Here, in the form of an open strategy memo, he proposes how the Conservative Party should approach the issue of migration.
To: George Osborne, Election Strategy Team
Subject: A Progressive Conservative Policy on Migration
Migration may be politically toxic, but it is economically essential. The polls show clearly and consistently that the public is hostile to immigration. So it is clearly not sensible to put a progressive migration policy front and centre of a bid for power. But every reputable economist will tell you that a reasonably open and flexible approach to migratory movements has helped drive the UK economy in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
Migration is a complex global phenomenon that requires a sophisticated policy response. Too often the UK debate around migration has been simplistic and divisive, with groups positioning themselves as 'pro' or 'anti', and having synthetic, but corrosive, slanging matches. The UK will need migrants in the future, and anyway cannot isolate itself from global movements of people. In this context, we need a more rational, more consensual debate on migration to produce sensible, effective and humane policies.
Changing the terms of the migration debate provides an opportunity for the Conservatives. Politically it would smart for the Tories to take a position on immigration that shows the mainstream media and swing voters that any nagging doubt they may still have about the Conservatives being the 'Nasty Party' is outdated. People don't tend to vote for a checklist of policies, it's more about feeling or image. But totemic policy stances – and a new approach to migration would be such a stance - contribute hugely to the overall impression voters have of a party.

Panel on IUU Fishing and International Security at RUSI, London. Watch full video below.
"This Occasional Paper calls for a paradigm shift in the way we view and respond to high-volume IUU fishing. To address the sophisticated and transnational threat it poses, large-scale IUU fishing must be treated with the seriousness it is due."


I don't often purchase powder blushes, as I feel that the finish they leave is drying, aging, and unflattering for anyone past their twenties. I generally stay with creamy formulas and stains. There are exceptions--I love the powder blushes by Estee Lauder, Lancome, Tarte, and some other companies--but in general they don't appear as a sheer bloom of color and are often cakey as well, leaving a ...read morerepugnant look of demarcation where the blush ends and your own skin begins. I did pass the Milani products in the drugstore, and the array of their baked powder blushes looked so heavenly, so very tantalizing on the gleaming shelves that I bought two immediately--"Rose D'Oro" and "Dolce Pink." "Rose D'Oro" is what the name suggests--a gold-infused deep salmon. There is shimmer, to be sure, but not so much that this blush can't be worn during the daylight hours. It is best to keep the included brush handy for touch-ups and use your own tools when applying at home. There is more pigment than you would except for a blush that sells for under $8.00--and it rivals even the priciest brand when it is on your skin! The rose gives me a warm flush, with not even the tiniest hint of an arid, stale look. You can amplify it for a more glamorous night time look, as coverage is buildable. And then there is "Dolce Pink." Indeed it is a sweet pink--it is a particularly beautiful, delicate rose. I was especially smitten by this color. It leaves a subtle radiance in any light, even harsh, unforgiving daylight, and remains ultra-flattering. Why spend a small fortune when there are products like this available? Excuse me, as I'm on my way out of the house to pick up a few more . . .
I finally found these at Walgreens. I wanted to try them based on all the positive reviews. I ended up getting four of them. The packaging is pretty sturdy. I threw out the brush it came with, but I always do that. The product itself is really nice, it looks much more glittery in the pan than on skin. It is shimmery on, but definately not over the top at all. Of the colors I got this is my least f...read moreavorite, because it pulls really warm on me, it looks more pink in the pan. Great product overall, will buy more of these. When I first saw reviews on these online, I was immediately intrigued: not only are they shaped very similarly to my much beloved collection of MAC Mineralized Skinfinish blushes, but they are so much more affordable at $7.99 a piece! Everywhere I read reviews on these blushes, they are always saying something along the line "You need this!" or "Dupe for MAC MSFs". I love this blush so much–the lightest sweep of your brush will pick up enough product to apply on your cheeks. One thing that definitely stood out was the plastic packaging. I'm not a fan, and I think the gold/yellow packaging looks so tacky! It's not as sturdy as I hoped, and I really hated how it looks, and would never consider purchasing it if it wasn't for the quality. All of the colors are packed with glitter, so this might not be a favourite for some. My favourite of the bunch have got to be Corallina and Rose D'Oro. They are the most gorgeous coral shade, with shimmery gold veins across. It's not only pretty to look at, but looks amazing on my skin! It's quite powdery, so it's best not to sweep it back and forth, but rather pat the blush several times lightly. I added a swatch for MAC's Margin and Milani's Rose D'Oro they are almost exactly the same, I'd say they are almost interchangeable as far as color goes, if anything under direct light margin is a bit rosier, and rose d'oro a bit more peachy, on my skin tone at least, NC 25. Also, the Milani blush is much more pigmented, I had to swatch margin way more times to get it to show up. This is a really beautiful blush, like many others have said it's a rose color with goldish veining. On my skin it looks rather peachy/bronze looking, kind of reminiscent of MAC's Margin. The gold shimmer is not too much but really makes my face have a glow to it especially now in the winter. I bought this, corallina and red vino at the same time, I ended up giving way more love to corallina, until I left it in another makeup bag and used this instead. Its really pigmented and you can layer it, I find that I dont use a bronzer when I wear this, whereas I need one with corallina and red vino, this is a bronzy blush, at least on my skin tone. What i love about these baked blushes is the fact that they dont look powdery on the skin, as a retin-a user I really appreciate the pigmentation and the fact that they formulation doesnt cling to my flakies. I love the colors/bronzers and blush milani is coming out with. Great product.


I hope you're enjoying spring as much as I enjoyed our mild winter! It made for excellent construction conditions as our crew renovated and retro-fitted a significant portion of our old NeuroCare Center into a 15 bed program, which we will hopefully open in mid-July. The general contractor on the job is a long time friend of mine, Mike Zaborowski. I worked for Mike over 30 years ago as a carpenter, my first job just after our wedding! I saw him on a Saturday recently in the area that he and I added onto in 1982 and I told him that at least in our lifetimes, this will be the last time we're going to be reworking that area.
In other expansion news, we recently purchased a six bed community residence in a very nice part of Southfield. We're also excited that Advantage Mobility Outfitters is finally going to have a location on a main road. We were able to purchase a former Mitsubishi dealership on Michigan Avenue, across from Mark Chevrolet, in Wayne.
Finally, construction wise, Jim Richert and I are now focusing on further developing the exterior elements of our NeuroCare Campus, which will include a greenhouse, a pedestrian plaza and other exciting features. Both staff and clients will have even more opportunities to enjoy the beautiful wetlands surrounding the Campus.
Still waiting for official word from the CARF recertification team who came to Special Tree on April 26th and 27th, but I can confidently report that they were very impessed, especially with how well the staff interacted with eachother and with our clients. As one surveyor said to me, "You can't fake that!"
On the Auto No-Fault front, no legislation has passed, however we are anticipating a push at the end of April. If nothing happens by then, it appears that we will be in the high political season and campaign mode so probably no further action until the fall. Special Tree will be well reprepresented in Lansing on May 16th for "Capital Day" which is sponsored by the BIAMI and the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council. Special Tree leaders will be meeting with a number of members of the House of Representatives and State Senators to express concerns about legislation that would negatively impact our Auto No-Fault system. Regretfully, the Motorcycle Helmet Repeal Bill passed and was signed into law by the Governor. I have seen the statistics in other states, for example, Florida, where the repeal law was passed and sadly enough, the fatalities were up very significantly. Let's hope most folks choose to continue to wear a helmet.
That's it for me for now. Go Wings! Go Tigers!

Good. There's no reason at all to give these Obama-appointed hacks any wiggle room. So...
Interesting selection

Hillary reportedly is now considering her own television show.
"She thinks being the host of a popular TV show would energize the Democratic Party base and her tens of millions of fans. It's a way to make a comeback and position herself for another run at the White House starting in a year or so."
She's like the Blob, in the 1958 sci-fi flick (and early Steve McQueen vehicle) of the same name. Remember the ending?

Hey, lefties
You don't need Babelfish to help you learn how to talk to real people. Just follow these tips from John Nolte.
So much winning, my head is spinning
The leftist wymyn's march was largely a failure, and the March for Life received more coverage than it probably ever has - the first due to the rabid, non-inclusive, single-issue partisanship provoked by Trump's election, and the latter due to a few straightforward observations and comments by Trump, himself.
Oh, and here's some advice, leftist wymyn: if you want to be taken seriously, you need to do a better job vetting your speakers:
The Women's March on Washington last week featured as a speaker convicted felon Donna Hylton who, along with several others, kidnapped a man and then tortured him to death.
Caution: if you read the linked story, be forewarned that the details surrounding the last days of Ms. Hylton's victim are sickening.

Take the "Who Said What?" quiz, featuring Che and Hitler!
Resist what?
The constitution? The peaceful transfer of power? Maybe if the Greenpissers ever come down off that crane they can clarify things for us.
"Under cover of night, Syrian wounded seek help from enemy Israel".
It happens nearly every night. After dark, the Syrian wounded come to known locations on the Israel-Syria front in the Golan Heights, driven by desperation to seek help from an enemy army.
Israeli soldiers on lookout or patrol spot them waiting by the fence and whisk them away to a rear position where army medics soon arrive, according to army officials operating in the area that was seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.
Israel refuses to accept refugees fleeing the nearly six-year conflict in Syria, a country with which it remains technically at war. But it has allowed in more than 2,600 Syrians for medical care.
Of all the things about Obama that disgust me, I wonder if it isn't his treatment of Israel that best illustrates his utter smallness.
The inside skinny
Everyone has no doubt read that one of President Not-Hillary's executive orders mandates a federal hiring freeze. My sources inside the administration tell me that further clarification will be forthcoming, and that this will be the most radical hiring freeze ever attempted. We're not just talking about not hiring new federal workers; the technology of cryogenics is going to be employed to actually freeze tens of thousands of bureaucrats. If a federal agency ever wants to add personnel, it would have to meet some extremely rigorous requirements, and, should its justification be accepted, a bureaucrat will be thawed out and reinserted in the work force. And the really great thing is that the time spent in the deep freeze is deducted from the employee's accrued annual leave.
"Good news, Mr. Dumbrowski! The General Services Administration has received permission to fill the position of Presidential Pants Presser!"
Senior Secret Service agent Kerry O'Grady has opined, via Facebook, that she'd rather do jail time than take a bullet for Trump.
Ace has already called for her head, as has Veeshir, and that's an entirely appropriate response. But I've got an alternative suggestion that would enable Ms. O'Grady to return to a sense of her duty while also permitting her to express her political opinions openly. My suggestion? Let her keep her job, but whenever she's assigned to protect somebody whose politics she doesn't like, require her to wear a giant vagina costume made of Kevlar.
There you go; problem solved.
Those damn white people, again!
"DNC CHAIR CANDIDATES BASH WHITE PEOPLE IN RACIALLY-CHARGED FORUM".
Executive Director of Idaho's Democratic Party, Sally Boynton Brown: "My job is to listen and be a voice and shut other white people down when they want to interrupt."
So, as usual, I'm confused by this exercise in prog-speak. Ms. Brown is a white person, but reserves the right to "shut other white people down", presumably when they are, what, interrupting non-white people? Is Ms. Brown, then, an honorary non-white person? Or, to put it another way, is Ms. Brown "brown" when she's participating in a political meeting? Can she just check her white privilege at the door, like a hat or something?
Or has the DNC simply turned into an asylum run on the honor system? Maybe the whole thing is even simpler than that...

One immediate effect of Trump's presidency has been to flush the haters and kooks out into the open, where their antics have clearly demonstrated the overlap between leftist politics and mental illness (and plain old evil). I hope Trump's operatives are keeping a video record; it'll come in handy in 2020.

Pop quiz!
Interesting inauguration trivia.
Soon, soon
Ace has the flaming skull we've all been waiting for.
Many on the right (make that everybody) have been toting up Obama's disasters, infamies, lies, outrages and body blows to the constitution; however, I think we ought to offer up a prayer of thanks for the things he failed to do:
1) He was not able to implement an American version of Britain's National Health Service (and the first baby steps in that direction are about to be undone);
2) He utterly failed to expand gun control at the national level;
3) He was unable to prop up Morsi and his Islamic loons in Egypt;
4) He failed to get Netanyahu heaved out of office;
5) And - best of all - his reign of error helped to ensure that Hillary Clinton lost the election.
So, there's that, at least.
Update: A non-verbal representation of Obama's whole presidency...

The Buzzfeed story purporting to show that the Russians have some dirt on Donald Trump continues to fall apart. The latest development features statements from Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper:
"I emphasized that this document is not a U.S. Intelligence Community product and that I do not believe the leaks came from within the IC. The IC has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions," Clapper said in a statement. "I expressed my profound dismay at the leaks that have been appearing in the press, and we both agreed that they are extremely corrosive and damaging to our national security," Clapper added.
Trumpophobia
This senior editor at ThinkProgress has it bad:
A visit from a plumber left ThinkProgress senior editor Ned Resnikoff "rattled" due to fear that the plumber may have voted for Donald Trump.
Resnikoff stated his fears in a November Facebook post, a screenshot of which is now making the rounds on the Internet.
The plumbing visit, which came four days after the 2016 election, became a harrowing experience for Resnikoff even though the plumber was "a perfectly nice guy and a consummate professional."
"He was a perfectly nice guy and a consummate professional," Resnikoff shared. "But he was also a middle-aged white man with a southern accent who seemed unperturbed by this week's news."
Resnikoff said his fear was rooted in the chance that the plumber knew he was Jewish.
"While I had him in the apartment, I couldn't stop thinking about whether he had voted for Trump, whether he knew my last name is Jewish, and how that knowledge might change the interaction we were having inside my own home," he said.
An amazing instance of Trump-induced hysteria. Mr. Resnikoff appears to be only a step away from walling off a section of his home and living in his safe space like Anne Frank because he's scared that his plumber may have voted for Trump, which, of course, would make him an anti-Semite and a probable brown-shirt. Is there to be a diary? I shall look forward to it with considerable interest.
At least "journalists" under the dictatorships of Hitler and Stalin had a reason to write nauseatingly worshipful crap about their leaders - refusal to toe the party line could mean imprisonment or execution. What the hell is the excuse for the media here in the land of the free and the home of the brave? Rich Noyes at News Busters provides a sampling of the almost-orgasmic experiences of certain American news wallahs as they encountered our rainbow/Obi-Wan Kenobi/rock star president.

Diedrich Janßen, beziehungsweise Diedrich Janssen, Diedrich  Janhsen sowie Diderich Janshen , als Künstler meist Diedrich Janßen-Jennelt (* 22. Oktober 1889 in Groothusen, Ostfriesland; † 10. Oktober 1983 in Wilhelmshaven) war ein deutscher Kunstmaler und Lehrer. Er wurde vor allem durch seine Ölbilder mit Ansichten aus dem ostfriesischen Raum und Szenen des ländlichen Lebens bekannt.

Leben
Diedrich Janßen entstammte einer Krummhörner Handwerkerfamilie. Sein Vater war der Schmiedemeister Hinderk Lammers Janßen, seine Mutter die aus der niederländischen Malerfamilie van de Velde stammende Teetje Janßen (geborene Rademaker). Als Kind besuchte Janßen häufig die Verwandten der Mutter in der Gegend von Amsterdam und sah Werke von Malern des Barocks sowie von Vincent van Gogh. Nach dem Tod des Vaters zog die Familie nach Jennelt, was in späteren Jahren zum Namensanhang des Malers führte. Von 1904 bis 1907 absolvierte Janßen eine Lehrerausbildung an der Präparandenanstalt in Aurich. Dort begann er auch seine künstlerische Arbeit, was 1908 zu einer ersten Ausstellung bei einem Auricher Buchhändler führte. Von 1910 bis 1911 absolvierte Janßen seinen Militärdienst in Hannover und unterrichtete danach bis 1914 als Zeichen- und Turnlehrer auf Borkum. Er bestand 1914 die Aufnahmeprüfung an der Berliner Hochschule für Bildende Kunst, musste jedoch von 1915 bis 1918 am Ersten Weltkrieg teilnehmen. Erst ab 1919 konnte er seine Ausbildung an der genannten Hochschule sowie an der pädagogischen Übungsschule fortsetzen.

1923 zog Janßen erneut nach Borkum, wurde aber noch im selben Jahr nach Wilhelmshaven versetzt. Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges diente Janßen als Leiter des Zivilen Luftwehrkommandos im Wilhelmshavener Fort Schaar. Von 1946 bis zu seiner 1955 erfolgten Pensionierung arbeitete er erneut im Schuldienst. Ab 1955 widmete er sich dann ganz seiner künstlerischen Tätigkeit, die er bis zum Nachlassen seiner Sehkraft in den 1970er Jahren fortsetzte. In der Nachkriegszeit engagierte sich Janßen im Wilhelmshavener Verein der Kunstfreunde. In den Jahrzehnten nach 1945 nahmen die Ausstellungen seiner Werke stark zu. Anlässlich seines 90. Geburtstag vermachte Janßen der Stadt Wilhelmshaven rund 350 Arbeiten.

Janssen war seit 1923 mit der Lehrerin Hertha Pfaffenroth verheiratet. Beide hatten zusammen zwei Söhne und eine Tochter.

Würdigungen
1982 ernannte der Heimatverein Krummhörn Janßen-Jennelt zum Ehrenmitglied.

Family Calls for Justice in Death of Tyrone Briggs
Posted on November 18, 2019 November 19, 2019 by abolitionist
Tyron Briggs' parents Shaleda and Ervin Busbee
Last week Tyrone Briggs, a 29-year-old from Philadelphia, died after Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC) staff at State Correctional Institution (SCI) Mahanoy reportedly used force against him. Mr. Briggs had been incarcerated since he was 15 years-old, and he and his family were eagerly anticipating his release on parole in the near future; instead, his parents, friends, and community find themselves mourning and awaiting answers about why the life of their beloved son, cousin, and friend was taken.
While very little information has been released about Mr. Briggs' death, there is strong reason to believe that aggressive conduct of DOC staff directly caused it. As the family seeks answers for the death of their beloved son, the Abolitionist Law Center will be representing Mr. Briggs' parents, Shaleda and Ervin Busbee. We will accompany and fight with them to ensure that Mr. Brigg's death does not become yet another extrajudicial killing by the state that goes by without justice and accountability.
Tyrone's father, Ervin Busbee, said: "The lives of the inmates in there matter, they are someone's son, daughter, father, mother, brother or uncle. They are human. Why are you painting my son as an animal? Tyrone's life mattered. His Mother will never get to see him again. The last time she saw him was behind glass on a visit, and the next time she'll see him will be in a box. We took pictures of Tyrone to church every week so our congregation would get to know him and they were awaiting his presence at service when he came home. Now our church will be burying him. Why hasn't the prison offered its condolences? We want justice."
ALC's Director of Community Organizing, Robert Saleem Holbrook, emphasized the importance of supporting Mr. Briggs' family and pursuing systemic change: "The Busbees are victims. Their son Tyrone was violently taken from them. We will not only pursue justice in this case but will also ensure that measures are taken in the future to prevent such reckless use of force on prisoners, whether restrained or unrestrained. As investigations proceed we want to be clear at the outset that victims of state violence are entitled to the full range of victim services in the Commonwealth."
Legal Director of the Abolitionist Law Center, Bret Grote, stated that "Whether committed by a police officer or a prison guard, extrajudicial killings of Black people in this country are an epidemic. Our clients have joined a tragic community of those who have lost loved ones to state violence. We are asking our larger movement family to come together and support them in this time of grief."
A GoFundMe page has been established by the family to help with costs associated with Tyrone's death. Please visit this LINK, contribute, and share widely.
We Abolished Death Row Solitary Confinement in Pennsylvania!
This morning we filed a motion for preliminary approval of a settlement agreement that permanently ends solitary confinement for all death-sentenced people in the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC).
Up to now, every person sentenced to death in Pennsylvania has been forced to live in austere conditions of isolation that have been recognized as torture by the UN and the human rights movement around the world. Pennsylvania hasn't executed a prisoner since 1999 and currently has a moratorium on executions, so many prisoners on Death Row have been living in solitary for decades. The last three executions were of people who had "volunteered" by giving up their appeals, quite possibly to escape the torturous conditions. Today, we have achieved a legally enforceable agreement to ensure that the 136 people living with death sentences can await a full adjudication of their cases without the added cruelty of solitary confinement being imposed on them.
According to the settlement, the DOC will still house people who are sentenced to death in specific prisons, but has agreed to offer the rights and privileges afforded to people in other state facilities. These changes are likely the most sweeping set of reforms to a capital case unit in the country:
At least 42.5 hours out-of-cell activity every week, including yard and outdoor time, law library time, congregate meal time, treatment or counseling meetings, congregate religious worship, work assignment, and phased in contact visitation;
Permission to use the phone on a daily basis for at least 15 minutes per usage;
Incarcerated people will not be subjected to strip-searches, shackling, or other restraints, unless security measures are required in response to a temporary, emergent situation;
Contact visits with family, lawyers and religious advisors; and
Resocialization assistance for individuals psychologically damaged by long periods in solitary confinement to help them in the transition to living in a general population setting, as well and physical and mental health baseline evaluations due to years of neglect.
Despite decades spent in inhumane isolation, our clients have organized and persevered in this historic achievement for the movement to abolish solitary confinement in Pennsylvania. They have set a powerful precedent for ending solitary confinement of capital case prisoners — and eventually the death penalty as a whole — across the country. Many of our clients have been able to embrace loved ones for the first time in decades in recent months because of this settlement.
Lots of gratitude to ALC President Jamelia Morgan, whose work on this was critical in driving the case, and to our co-counsel at the ACLU of PA, ACLU National Prison Project, Susan Lin of the Kairys, Rudovsky, Messing, Feinberg & Lin law firm, and Drinker, Biddle, & Reath.
Most of all, thank you to the Plaintiffs and class representatives who organized their own legal representation and pushed for this: Anthony Reid, Ronald Gibson, Mark Spotz, Jermont Cox, and Ricardo Natividad. We are proud to represent them.
Finally, your support is what makes this work possible. If you'd like to ensure more victories like this in the future, please DONATE to the Abolitionist Law Center.

Program Director: Allegheny County Court Watch
The Program Director will organize a new community Court Watch program in Allegheny County. The aim of the program is to expose excesses and abuses in the County's criminal legal system to help mobilize the community to fundamentally change the orientation of the system away from punitive responses and towards principles of community control and restorative justice. The program will rely on volunteers in the community to collect, organize, and publicize information in the most strategic and impactful way. See the full job listing here.
The conditions faced by those incarcerated in jails and prisons are frequently inhumane and in violation of constitutional standards. Inadequate to non-existent medical or mental health care, dangerous and extensive use of solitary confinement, excessive use of force, racism at every level of the system, discrimination against and abuse of people with disabilities, runaway use of pretrial detention, and other unlawful practices pose a threat to public health and public safety. The Staff Attorney will work with incarcerated clients and their communities and advocates to challenge these conditions and build power against the use of jails and prisons.

The Fight to Free Avis Lee Continues Despite the Denial of Appeal by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
Posted on October 21, 2019 October 21, 2019 by abolitionist
Last week the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied our Petition for Allowance of Appeal in the case of Commonwealth v. Avis Lee. The Appeal would have allowed people given life without parole sentences while young and with their judgment/impulse control still developing (but were over 17 years at the time of their offense) to apply for resentencing, like many juvenile lifers who were given that chance and are now thriving outside prison walls in our state.
Despite the scientific consensus on brain development indisputably supporting our argument, the Court denied the Appeal without explanation or justification; we're disappointed since we believe that an honest, science-based review of Avis' death by incarceration sentence would've found it unconstitutional and void, but we also have no illusions that the Superior and Supreme Courts serve the interest of justice.
For centuries, the higher courts have given legal cover to our country's and state's most appalling class- and race-based oppression, and only on rare occasions (and under intense public pressure) have they set aside the interests of money and power and ruled in the interests of justice. We have always seen legal strategy as one part of a larger movement of people most impacted by the justice system to challenge power, and we know that meaningful changes in the justice system will come from people organizing and resisting—and not from the morality and reason of judges or legislators.
While we will keep the legal fight up with three other litigation plans that challenge DBI sentences for those 18 as well as those serving DBI for second degree murder, we urge everyone to continue to organize, gather, lift up voices, and commit to dismantling this system brick by brick. We look forward to working with Avis on her commutation packet and know that she will be home one day.
At this time we are also reminded that our comrades at the Coalition to Abolish Death by Incarceration (CADBI) are convening in Harrisburg this Wednesday, the 23rd, in support of SB942. We stand in solidarity with CADBI and echo the call of the Superior Court for the legislature to end death by incarceration. No one is free until we all are.
In Solidarity Always,

Media Alert: Eddie Africa of the #MOVE9 is home after four decades of incarceration
Posted on June 21, 2019 by abolitionist
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) The Abolitionist Law Center and the People's Law Office are proud to announce that Eddie Africa, of the MOVE 9, has been released from state custody after more than forty years of incarceration. Earlier this morning, Eddie Africa was released from SCI Phoenix after being transferred from SCI Mahanoy, where he spent the majority of his incarceration. He has been fighting for parole for the last ten years.
The MOVE 9 are 9 individuals who were incarcerated following an August 8, 1978 police siege of the MOVE Organization home in West Philadelphia. The MOVE 9 were all sentenced to 30-100 years after the death of an officer during the raid.
"Eddie's release is a victory for him, his family and the movement that has been fighting for his freedom. This is the newest chapter in the decades-long struggle to free all the MOVE 9, which is a struggle that continues with the fight to free Delbert and Chuck Africa, who are both up for parole this year." ~ Brad Thompson
Eddie is the fifth member of the MOVE 9 to be released on parole, all represented by lawyers from Abolitionist Law Center and People's Law Office. Like Debbie , Janet, Janine, and Mike Africa, who were recently released, Eddie is now able to experience holding his loved ones outside of prison walls for the first time in decades. Eddie was a father when he was arrested and has four adult children and several grandchildren who he has been able to maintain strong relationships with. Today is the first day his grandchildren will be able to hug him outside of a prison wall. The release of the Move members, after more than forty years, is the culmination of the MOVE organization, public support, legal action, and policy changes.
Two other members of the MOVE 9 remain incarcerated (Chuck and Delbert Africa), while two others (Merle Africa and Phil Africa) died in custody. Abolitionist Law Center and People's Law Office represent Delbert and Chuck in the struggle for their freedom. To support the fight, you may donate to the MOVE9 Legal Fund.

Media Alert: In Celebrating Juneteenth, We Must Remember Those Who Are Still Caged
The Abolitionist Law Center is honored to join in the celebration of Juneteenth. Juneteenth marks the ending of chattel slavery in the United States of America as it is commemorating when the last known individuals who were enslaved were notified of their freedom. Juneteenth is a momentous occasion to celebrate freedom and determination, but it is also a moment to pause to remember the thousands who are still enslaved today. After the civil war, the Black codes and vagrancy laws were passed to steal the freedom and protections away from Free Black folk. This resulted in what we know today as felony disenfranchisement.
Chain gangs and indentured servitude sentencing saw thousands of Newly Freed Black persons introduced into a new type of bondage made permissible by the exception clause of the 13th amendment.
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
So as we celebrate the end of chattel slavery, we understand that the stain of the original sin has spread and permeated every fabric of our society. By some estimates, there are more Black people who are impacted by mass incarceration then under chattel slavery.
In Pennsylvania, the disparate racial impact is evident in the death by incarceration sentences all the way down to the pretrial resources. The legacy of slavery is kept alive through race and class-based incarceration as evidenced by the racial disparities in sentencing, arrests, and detainments are a continuation of enslavement practices. The slave patrols are now in charge of ensuring more people are cycled into the system. Today is Juneteenth. It also the anniversary of the murder of Antwon Rose II. None of us are free, until all of us are.
Media Release: Emergency Petition Filed For Young Woman Placed In Solitary Confinement During Her Birthday
On Monday the Abolitionist Law Center along with the law office of Timothy P. O'Brien and attorney Jules Lobel, filed an emergency petition against the Allegheny County Jail (ACJ) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania to remove a young woman from solitary confinement housing after spending more than 70 days – including her birthday – in the restrictive housing unit at ACJ since February, resulting in severe mental health crises and three suicide attempts.
The ALC and co-counsel are representing Kimberly Andrews, a 20-year-old woman awaiting disposition on misdemeanor cases who has been in solitary confinement off and on since February of 2019, despite having known mental health issues. While at the ACJ, Ms. Andrews has tried to self-harm at least three times due to the decompensation associated with the placement in solitary confinement and harsh prison conditions within the restrictive housing unit. Ms. Andrews suffers from known mental health disorders including bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, and oppositional defiance disorder. Instead of receiving access to treatment and waiting for the adjudications of her case, Ms. Andrews has undergone repeated dehumanizing encounters with abusive ACJ staff.
For instance, on one occasion Ms. Andrews spent at least 8 consecutive hours in the restraint chair, strapped in so tight that it caused bruising around her wrists and shoulder areas. She was again deprived food, water, bathroom breaks, or any ability to move her limbs. Staff returned at one point to loosen the strap on her right wrist, as it was cutting into her flesh. Ms. Andrews asked for her inhaler, but her request was denied; no other medical checks were conducted.
The treatment of Ms. Andrews highlights the inability of the ACJ to create policies and procedures to ensure the safety and security of those incarcerated with medically diagnosed disorders. Ms. Andrews has been able to successfully interact in general population and was able to have a job when briefly removed from solitary confinement. Despite previous attempts to resolve this situation, Ms. Andrews remains in solitary confinement where she continues to struggle to acclimate based on her health history and continues to self-harm as a result.
She has been kept in solitary confinement for over 70 days by Defendants at the jail, although she has not been either charged with or convicted of any violent conduct by officials at the jail. She has a history of mental illness, which is greatly exacerbated by her placement and retention in isolation. She has attempted suicide three times since being placed in solitary confinement.
The petition is asking the court to grant Ms. Andrews as temporary restraining order which would prevent her from being placed in solitary confinement as well as prevent specific ACJ staff from contacting her due to their denial of medical treatment and triggering conduct. The ACJ spent more than $200,000 on bedding, replacing sheets with anti-suicide blankets due to the number of suicide and suicide attempts in the facility.

Media Release: Janet and Janine Africa are paroled after forty years of incarceration!!!
Posted on May 25, 2019 May 25, 2019 by abolitionist
The Abolitionist Law Center and the People's Law Office are proud to share that Janet Holloway Africa and Janine Phillips Africa of the MOVE 9 have been released from state custody after more than forty years of incarceration. Earlier this morning, the MOVE sisters were finally released on parole from SCI Cambridge Springs and are now with family and friends. The sisters have been battling for their freedom after being consistently denied parole for a decade despite an impeccable disciplinary record and extensive record of mentorship and community service during their time in prison.
Following their 2018 parole denial, attorneys from Abolitionist Law Center and People's Law Office filed petitions for habeas corpus seeking their release from prison. The habeas petitions challenged their parole denials on the grounds that the decisions were arbitrary and lacking in any evidence that janet or Janine presented a risk to public safety. Under pressure from litigation and with a court date for May 28 looming, the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole (board) granted Janet and Janine parole on May 14, 2019, just one day after the anniversary of the notorious May 13, 1985 bombing of the MOVE home.
"The release of Janet and Janine is a victory not only for them and their loved ones, but also for the MOVE Organization and the movement to free all political prisoners," said attorney Brad Thomson of People's Law Office. "Janet and Janine were excellent candidates for parole. They have been described by DOC staff as model prisoners and neither of them has had a single disciplinary incident in over twenty years. While in prison, they have participated in community fundraisers, and social programs, including training service dogs. They are remarkable women to deserve to be free."
Like Debbie and Mike Africa, who were released last year, Janet and Janine are now able to experience holding their loved ones outside of prison walls for the first time in decades. The release of Janet and Janine after forty years is the culmination of the MOVE organization, public support, legal action, and policy changes.
Three other members of the MOVE 9 remain incarcerated (Chuck, Delbert and Eddie Africa), while two others (Merle Africa and Phil Africa) died in custody. Abolitionist Law Center and People's Law Office represent Chuck, Delbert and Eddie in the struggle for their freedom. To support the fight, you may donate to the MOVE9 Legal Fund.

Federal Lawsuit Filed on Behalf of Activist Who Was Assaulted and Arrested at North Versailles
Posted on May 8, 2019 May 14, 2019 by abolitionist
PITTSBURGH, PA (May 8, 2019) – The Law Offices of Timothy P. O'Brien is filing a federal lawsuit against Christopher Kelly ("Kelly") and Phoenix Theatres Entertainment, LLC ("Phoenix Theatres") for assaulting and arresting Melanie Carter for recording Kelly—a police officer for the North Versailles Police Department, who was in full uniform at the time of the incident—with her cell phone. The Abolitionist Law Center has also joined as co-counsel. Ms. Carter began recording an incident at Phoenix Theatres where its employees, along with Kelly, were targeting a group of young African American children at Phoenix Stadium 18 at 1701 Lincoln Highway, North Versailles, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania 15137. Ms. Carter filmed the episode because she thought the young African American children were being treated unfairly because of their race after she witnessed Kelly and Phoenix Theatres forcibly remove some of the young children from Phoenix Stadium 18 and overheard them calling the girls "animals."
Because Ms. Carter recorded the incident, Kelly arrested her by using his larger size to throw her to the concrete, push his body weight into her back with his knee, and shove her face into the concrete multiple times. The next day, Kelly charged Ms. Carter for numerous false criminal charges. All the criminal charges were dismissed at various stages of the criminal process prior to a criminal trial through the assistance of Bret Grote, Esquire and Quinn Cozzens, Esquire of the Abolitionist Law Center. "Ms. Carter—like any other member of the public—has a constitutional right to record police officers conducting official police activity," said Alec B. Wright, Esquire. "If and when police officers like Christopher Kelly retaliate against members of the public like Carter for recording their activities, then they must be held accountable. That is what this lawsuit seeks to accomplish."
According to Timothy P. O'Brien, Esquire, "Ms. Carter exercised her right of free speech and did the right thing by recording an abusive police officer. For that, she was violently attacked and falsely arrested and charged for crimes she did not commit. This lawsuit stands up for Ms. Carter and for every other citizen who may speak freely without fear of retaliation. We need more citizens like Ms. Carter and fewer police officers like Christopher Kelly who willingly abuse the powers that we entrust to them."
Press Contact :
The Law Offices of Timothy P. O'Brien will be holding interviews on Wednesday, May 9, 2019 at The Law Offices of Timothy P. O'Brien to discuss this important case.

Trump Is Trying To Help The UCLA Basketball Players Arrested In China
Three players were accused of stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store while they were in China for a game.
Article by Carter Woodiel
President Donald Trump has asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to help resolve the case of three UCLA basketball players arrested in China on charges of shoplifting, according to a report from The Washington Post.
If all of that sounds a little too "2017" for you, let us explain.
The three players are LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill. They were in China with their teammates to play a game against Georgia Tech in Shanghai on Saturday. But a few days before the game, the players were accused of stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store near their hotel.
If you're a basketball fan, you probably know who LiAngelo Ball is. He's the brother of Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball. He's also the son of LaVar Ball, who owns a basketball shoe company and is rather ... outspoken about himself and his sons.
President Trump Offers To Arbitrate In South China Sea Dispute
China calls almost all the South China Sea its own, despite international laws that limit what areas it can claim.
"One-on-one, I'm undefeated, never lost," LaVar Ball told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith on a March episode of "First Take." He was arguing that he could beat basketball legend Michael Jordan one-on-one.
Anyway, LiAngelo Ball, Riley and Hill were released on bail but didn't play against Georgia Tech, and right now they're still in China. It's not clear when they'll return to the U.S., which is where President Trump comes in.
The Post says Trump mentioned the players to Xi while he was visiting Beijing and that Xi told him he'd do his best to get the case resolved quickly. A source also told the Post it looks like the players' charges are being reduced.
That's important because the stakes are pretty high here. It's tough to tell exactly what punishments these players could be facing, but under Chinese law, a prison sentence would not be out of the question for this sort of crime.
All this means a possible assist from Trump could go a long way in helping get the players home sooner. For now, though, ESPN says they'll have to stay at their hotel for another week or two.

Debbie McGee reveals Strictly Come Dancing workload and Paul Daniel's death triggered sleeping disorder
JJ NattrassTuesday 10 Apr 2018 10:15 am
She came close to snatching victory in Strictly Come Dancing, and found herself a whole new fan base thanks to her time on the show.
But despite all the positives she discovered during her time on the BBC hit it seems that her intense training schedule and the rigours of that lifestyle affected Debbie McGee in a detrimental way.
Speaking about her health on this morning's Lorraine, Paul Daniel's widow, 59, admitted that her time on the show had helped to exacerbate and fuel an already exhausting sleeping disorder.
Revealing that her condition had become so bad she sought medical help from the show's Doctor Hilary Jones, Debbie said: 'It just all came together at once. I'd worked for seven months without a break, and then it was also the anniversary of Paul's death.
Debbie McGee revealed that following her Strictly commitments she found her already poor sleep routine became even worse (Picture: BBC)
'It was like being on a treadmill and not being able to get off. I'd go to bed and I couldn't sleep. It would be four in the morning, and I'd sleep for two hours.'
Stand-in host Christine Lampard asked about the intensity of Strictly, to which Debbie replied she'd found the aftermath of dancing on the show and its tour the worst part to cope with.
Explaining that she'd get 'three or four' hours sleep while dancing, she said revealed: 'Once I'd finished it was worse, because I wasn't using the energy in the daytime so I hadn't worn myself out like I had on the tour.'
However, the ballet choreographer and TV star said that with some advice and the continued help of Doctor Hilary she'd been able to start find a solution to her sleepless nights – which included soothing music, and relaxation techniques.

But one thing is for sure she won't be doing any dancing to help tire her out, as last month she admitted that she wouldn't be continuing her blitz of the ballroom dance floor.
'I had this really special chemistry with Giovanni Pernice on 'Strictly Come Dancing' last year, so hopefully we'll dance again before he gets his new Strictly partner in September. But I don't think I'll keep dancing,' she told The Sun.
'The hard thing when you've done Strictly is that the professional you've been partnered with is the best in the world. How can you dance with someone else after that?'
