Ottawa to pay $40k per child

In a decision announced last Friday, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) ordered the federal government to compensate $40,000 to each First Nation child wrongly taken from their homes and put in care of the state with no proper funding and services.
The case against the federal government started with the Tribunal in 2007 by the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada (FNCFCS) and Assembly of First Nations (AFN).
According to the 93-page ruling, signed by the tribunal members Sophie Marchildon and Edward P. Lustig, the panel finds there is enough evidence to establish, on a balance of probabilities, the government's racial discrimination found in the tribunal's decision; and as a result, the CHRT ordered Canada to pay the maximum amount allowable under the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) for "First Nations children, youth and families who have been harmed by the child welfare system or were denied or delayed receipt of services due to Canada's discriminatory imple mentation of Jordan's Principle."
Jordan's Principle is a rule in response to the death of a five-year-old child Jordan River Anderson, from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba, who suffered from a muscular disorder, treated in a Winnipeg hospital, while the federal and provincial governments could not resolve the financial issue for necessary home care. Jordan never had a chance to live in a family home and died.
The purpose of the CHRA is to give effect to the principle that "all individuals should have an opportunity equal with other individuals to make for themselves the lives that they are able and wish to have and to have their needs accommodated, consistent with their duties and obligations as members of society, without being hindered in or prevented from doing so by discriminatory practices…." section two of the CHRA reads.
Cindy Blackstock, member of the Gitxsan First Nation and executive director of FNCFCS, testified in the tribunal hearing and fought for years for the children.
"This is linked to the 2006 findings by the tribunal that Canada was just discriminating against First Nations children in the prevision of welfare funding, and also they (Canada) failed to implement Jordan's principle," Blackstock told The Eastern Door.
"It means that the government knew about the discrimination," she said, "(The government) knew and was creating harm for children and families and showed nothing to do something about it. "In this decision the tribunal finds Canada did willful and reckless discrimination against each child and what the tribunal calls a 'worst-case scenario,'" she added.
Blackstock said under the CHRA, victims of discrimination are those who did not apply or were denied a federal public service (assessment, respite, learning assistance, mental health therapy) or certain equipment (wheelchair, orthodontics, learning device etc.); and they are entitled to two different financial awards: first is $20,000 per victim of discrimination and the second one "is reserved as the most grieviest cases and that is an amount of $20,000 per victim if the discrimination was 'willful and reckless.'"
Blackstock spoke about several categories of victims, saying only the number of the children in care is roughly 55,000 children between 0-18 years of age within two different time frames: children on basic principle portion – January 1, 2006 until present day – and Jordan's Principle section – December 12, 2007 until November 2, 2017.
Most children living on reserve or in the Yukon who were federally funded for children family services between 2006 and today are eligible for $40,000 of compensation, the maximum allowed under the Act, she explained.
Spokesperson for Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) Martine Stevens said the ISC office would need time to review the tribunal's order, however, "our approach in general has been to resolve as many issues as possible through discussions with the parties to the CHRT complaint."
"Strong progress has been made and our intent is to continue," she said.
An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Metis children, youth and families, announced by ISC Minister Seamus O'Regan this Tuesday, will come into force in its entirety on January 1, 2020.
"This Act affirms the jurisdiction of Indigenous peoples in relation to child and family services and provides a framework that Indigenous peoples can use to exercise jurisdiction at a pace that they choose," Stevens said.
The tribunal also decided the parents or grandparents of families, where a child was unnecessarily removed and placed in child welfare care due to poverty, parental addictions and mental health issues, are also entitled to $40,000, however, parents or grandparents responsible for sexual, physical or psychological abuse are excluded; they are not eligible for compensation, Blackstock said.
A second group of compensation, related to Jordan's Principle, means families with kids with special needs or children who needed high level care without stay in their family homes and with no special care provided, are also entitled to the maximum amount of $40,000, as well as children or families of children who marginalized services because Canada had a discriminative approach to Jordan's Principle, according to Blackstock.
"I think we are talking about multiple billions of dollars," she said.
She underlined it is a legal order: "Canada has either to appeal it or implement it."
Canada has 30 days after the tribunal's ruling, until October 7, 2019, to appeal this decision, Blackstock said.
"Even if they file an appeal," she said, "That doesn't mean that decision doesn't have to be implemented: in order to get out of that, the federal government would have to apply to federal court for a second legal order, that basically means they'll put the decision by the tribunal on hold until the appeal is heard."
According to the tribunal ruling, Canada needs to establish the process for compensation.
"We will make suggestions before December 10, but it is up to Canada how to distribute the money, we won't be submitting the money, Canada will be doing that work," she added.
This ruling makes clear that the work of government needs to be reformed, and in order to end inequalities in public services for First Nations children, "we are also calling on the government to implement the Spirit Bear plan," which is a list of recommendations to all administrative institutions to be involved for First Nations children having access to proper education and health care, safe drinking water, and other public services, Blackstock said.
"The First Nations leadership can negotiate with Canada on comprehensive mandate," she said, "Because unless the Spirit Bear plan has been implemented, I think we are going to see another generation that is going to be wrongly-treated by Canada and hardships that cannot be prevented."
"It is not enough to say it (government) supports reconciliation while you are perpetuating reckless discrimination," she said, "There is something about culture and human rights."
Blackstock said the process of notifying the victims is another important part of this work.
National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Perry Bellegarde expressed his appreciation about Blackstock's work on his Twitter page last Friday saying, "no government should be fighting these fundamental values."
"This is about our children, their safety, their right to be with their families, kin and communities and their right to quality of care," he added in his tweet.

Team or Tame
Swim or dive, but life will always breath on land..
Ritika, never wanted Sanjeev to join the new work place, She had a strong intuition, it's going to be a high tide, both personally and professionally. But, Men have brains, like a chest of drawers, Each drawer is neatly stacked for each emotion.
When, Ritika met Rama, the new boss during the social evening, for the first time, the interaction was brief and nebulous. He kept on explaining something really exigent and she looked and looked and looked trying to filter the soft voice as diligently as possible, while reading the lips as carefully she could. She just knew , it was something important.
Rama Iyengar, as he would proudly call himself, was a South Indian with moustaches dipped in jet black that made him look few years younger. He never bit his words. He sounded as if, his tongue is rolled around some wooden cubes, with words minced and pouring out in the utmost mystery, to get further decoded. Men, would come out of his office, after taking instructions, " with the most flummoxed look" , seeking approvals, cross checking and further discussions over the instructions been passed on, with Sanjeev.
Work place was always chaos, sleepless nights, with dead lines and last moment goof ups with icing of few team mates not willing to trail along. The eyes of the sky scraper boss, would oscillate constantly into the official letters and mind, non stop knitting into ," how to shoot the newly established company" to some award winning level.
How do you tolerate him? why do you even listen to him? She, often queried Sanjeev. In return she got the, run- of – the mill reply, ", because he is right, I understand his dive ".
Ritika, would simply detest it. A well defined wall already had cemented between the two. The fort of marriage got split into two. This shall pass too, As Sanjeev would say.
Rama's sense of humour was like" Rasam". You could sniff the masalas before it is served to you. You knew, what's coming, but pretend how freshly it tasted. He barely slept, At three in the morning, he would wake up his team mates to discuss some new ideas, before it gets fizzled out.
A quite spectator , " Ritika, never missed to observe it". What kind of man he is?
We often judge people, as quickly as the ice-cream melts in our mouth. Most often, what we see or how we see, gets deceived by the reality which turns out the mush of truth. The truth, which lies quietly and silently, With one stroke of a situation the colours ooze out. Making the judgement into the flakes which get blown away by the wind of truth. Sanjeev was struggling for the company's accommodation. He wrote several letters and requested numerous times, but there was no response. When Rama, got to know about this, he walked into the board of directors office, fought for the righteous cause and ensure the needful is done. Sanjeev called Ritika, " The house is being allotted." She kept quiet on something unexpected. Many several other incidents came up, where this man, would go out of the way to help the junior most employees. He would often say, " The well being of my people is most important as they carry the weight of the entire organisation." He would draft letters, do work which sometimes was not under his radius of responsibilities." In crux, a good human being, for whom the commitment for his work always took the front seat at the cost of, which he only can spill. Or it was just the passion, where everything else gets diluted.
Sometimes, simplicity of a person, looks most complex. Probably, it has become a rare trait and we are so accustomed to look through the glasses of all the preconceived notions….
Rama, taught certainly one thing, to be well committed to whatever you do, irrespective of gigantic or how minute a task is. But what about the flip side?? when you choose a path and a goal, there would be many milestones which would get skipped. Emotional well-being milestone, Personal life milestone, Me time milestone. Something, In-tangible of a person gets slit off and What is left?? are the the stars and moons of success defined, designed to lure a person to reach another pinnacle. Just to realise the skies are as blue as, seen from any portion of life. The point is, Just Pause, feel the breath and fill the soul with the warm coffee of love.
Today's Success is all about your Team and How you Tame it. Ritika would always ponder on……Amidst the Team and Tame , What all milestones did Rama Missed…

Quite close to my dabble in corporate world… so true that we miss so many milestones in our lives while trying to tame our corporate team to achieve organizational goals… and what happens in the end is to live with your solitude…. trying to count what you could achieve in your personal life had you not been part of the rat race… and was the sacrifice was really worth…. beautifully penned…. 😍
Great post, Sunita. Rama sounds like a great boss who takes care of his people! The world needs more like him! ❤❤❤
Cherie, you are right, world needs good people. be it boss, boyfriend or brother!!! Take care darling. Thanks for your feedback. Love loads.
You're most welcome, Sunita! You take care too, sweetie. 💖

Introduction: Remembering the 1990s
Brooker, Joseph and Luckhurst, Roger (2003) Introduction: Remembering the 1990s. New Formations 50 , ISSN 0950-2378.
Official URL: http://www.lwbooks.co.uk/journals/newformations/is...
This issue invites ten cultural critics to explore how they might remember the 1990's. Is it possible to historicize the immediate past? Can we yet pick through the density of informational overload and discern larger patterns of significance? Is this the role of cultural criticism in addressing the contemporary? Implicit in these questions is the sense that the 1990's were partly about the changing significance not only of the category of culture, but also of memory itself. How to remember an era marked by an obsession with amnesia, attention deficit, lost and recovered memory? Essays include work on art history, avant-garde poetry, marginal sciences, the computer's transformation of intimacy and reading, the melancholia of critical theory, the fate of feminism, the rise of traumaculture, the fortunes of independant music, and the sociology of globalisation. What emerges is a complex weave of arguments and ideas that make a start at writing a cultural history of the 1990's.

Welcome to the Maltese islands! Malta is located in the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily and 288 km north of Africa. The Maltese archipelago consists of Malta, Gozo, Comino and uninhabited islands of Filfla, Cominotto and St. Paul's Islands. The total population is just over 430,000 inhabitants (94% Maltese and 6% Foreign – CountryProfiler 2017) spread across an area of 316 km² (Malta 246 km², Gozo 67 km², Comino 2.7 km²) making it one of most densely populated countries in the world. The total length of the Maltese shoreline is 200 km.
The Maltese climate is a typical Mediterranean climate with mild (rather) rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Daily average of five to six hours of sunshine in mid-winter and more than 12 hours of sunshine in summer. Total 300 days of sunshine a year. The average temperature is 12°C in winter and 31°C in summer.
Malta's 7000-year history has seen a succession of foreign conquerors ruling the island. In 395 Malta fell under the control of the Byzantine Empire. The Arabs leave their mark on the Maltese language after they took over Malta in 870, their rule came to an end in 1091 after a long battle with the Normans. The Knights of Malta arrive on the island in 1530. The Knights together with the Maltese population stood up to the Ottoman Empire during the Great Siege of 1565, however after the 268 years of their rule Napoleon Bonaparte took over Malta in 1798. French rule didn't last very long in Malta and just two years later in 1800 Malta came under British rule and in 1814 Malta officially became a crown colony of the British Empire.
During the WW2, especially in between 1940 – 1942 Malta was the most bombarded country in the world during that war. No wonder that King George VI awarded Malta the George Cross – Britain's highest civilian decoration for heroism. Malta gained independence in 1964 after 160 years of British rule and became a republic in 1974. And this is just a very brief history of the great powers that fought over this tiny rock in the Mediterranean.
With the great weather all year around, rich culture, 7000 years of fascinating history, crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches Malta is a holiday destination that truly has something for everyone.

Q: How to show that $\mathbb R^n$ with the $1$-norm is not isometric to $\mathbb R^n$ with the infinity norm for $n>2$? Could you please give me a hint to prove that
$\mathbb{R}^n$ with the 1-norm $\lvert x\rvert_1=\lvert x_1\rvert+\cdots+\lvert x_n\rvert$ is not isometric to $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the infinity-norm $\lvert x\rvert_\infty = \max_{i=1,\ldots,n}(\lvert x_i\rvert)$ for $n\gt2$.
I do not see how the critical case $n=2$ enters the picture.
Thank you!

A: But one can do without the Mazur-Ulam theorem just as easily. I find it convenient to put the exponent $p$ in subscript, freeing the superscript for dimension: $\ell_\infty^n$ and $\ell_1^n$
Suppose $F:\ell_\infty^n\to \ell_1^n$ is an isometry (which I do not assume to be surjective or linear). By translation we can achieve $F(0)=0$. Let $V\subset \ell_\infty^n$ be the set of vertices of the unit cube, i.e., the set of all vectors with entries $\pm1$. This set has three interesting properties:

*

*all points are at distance $1$ from the origin

*all points are at distance $2$ from one another

*the cardinality of the set is $2^n$.

Let $W=F(V)$. The set $W\subset \ell_1^n$ also has the properties 1,2,3 listed above. For each vector $v\in W$ consider its positive and negative supports $\mathrm{supp}^+v=\{1\le j\le n : v_j> 0\}$ and  $\mathrm{supp}^-v=\{1\le j\le n : v_j< 0\}$. If $n>2$, then $2^n>2n$. Therefore,  we can assume that at least $n+1$ vectors in $W$ have nonempty positive supports. But then at least two of them, say $v'$ and $v''$, have overlapping positive supports. This creates cancellation when we compute distance between them: $\|v'-v''\|_1<\|v'\|_1+\|v''\|_1=2$ , a contradiction. QED
The proof actually shows that $\ell_{\infty}^n$ does not admit an isometric embedding (linear or not) into $\ell_1^N$ for $N<2^{n-1}$.

A: To wrap the comments up (assuming $n \geq 2$ since the cases $n=0,1$ are uninteresting):
From the Mazur–Ulam theorem we know that a surjective distance-preserving map between normed spaces is necessarily affine. After composing with a translation we may assume that our isometry preserves $0$, so we may assume that the isometry is linear right from the start.
A surjective linear isometry must map the extreme points of the unit ball of the domain onto the extreme points of the unit ball of the range. A moment's thought shows that the unit ball in the $\ell^1$-norm has $2n$ extreme points, namely the $n$ coordinate vectors and their $n$ negatives; and that the unit ball in the $\ell^\infty$-norm has $2^n$ extreme points: the vectors all of whose entries are $\pm 1$. Therefore isometry is only possible if $n =2$, where there is an isometry, given by $e_1 \mapsto e_1+e_2$ and $e_2 \mapsto -e_1 + e_2$.

CHAPTER XIX
The Prince with the Peasants
WHEN the king awoke in the early morning, he found that a wet but thoughtful rat had crept into the place during the night and made a cozy bed for itself in his bosom. Being disturbed now, it scampered away. The boy smiled, and said, 'Poor fool, why so fearful? I am as forlorn as thou. 'Twould be a shame in me to hurt the helpless, who am myself so helpless. Moreover, I owe you thanks for a good omen; for when a king has fallen so low that the very rats do make a bed of him, it surely meaneth that his fortunes be upon the turn, since it is plain he can no lower go.'
He got up and stepped out of the stall, and just then he heard the sound of children's voices. The barn door opened and a couple of little girls came in. As soon as they saw him their talking and laughing ceased, and they stopped and stood still, gazing at him with strong curiosity; they presently began to whisper together, then they approached nearer, and stopped again to gaze and whisper. By and by they gathered courage and began to discuss him aloud. One said:
'He hath a comely face.'
The other added:
'And pretty hair.'
'But is ill clothed enow.'
'And how starved he looketh.'
They came still nearer, sidling shyly around and about him, examining him minutely from all points, as if he were some strange new kind of animal; but warily and watchfully the while, as if they half feared he might be a sort of animal that would bite, upon occasion. Finally they halted before him, holding each other's hands for protection, and took a good satisfying stare with their innocent eyes; then one of them plucked up all her courage and inquired with honest directness:
'Who art thou, boy?'
'I am the king,' was the grave answer.
The children gave a little start, and their eyes spread themselves wide open and remained so during a speechless half-minute. Then curiosity broke the silence:
'The king? What king?'
'The king of England.'
The children looked at each other- then at him- then at each other again- wonderingly, perplexedly- then one said:
'Didst hear him, Margery?- he saith he is the king. Can that be true?'
'How can it be else but true, Prissy? Would he say a lie? For look you, Prissy, an it were not true, it would be a lie. It surely would be. Now think on't. For all things that be not true, be lies- thou canst make naught else out of it.'
It was a good, tight argument, without a leak in it anywhere; and it left Prissy's half-doubts not a leg to stand on. She considered a moment, then put the king upon his honor with the simple remark:
'If thou art truly the king, then I believe thee.'
'I am truly the king.'
This settled the matter. His majesty's royalty was accepted without further question or discussion, and the two little girls began at once to inquire into how he came to be where he was, and how he came to be so unroyally clad, and whither he was bound, and all about his affairs. It was a mighty relief to him to pour out his troubles where they would not be scoffed at or doubted; so he told his tale with feeling, forgetting even his hunger for the time; and it was received with the deepest and tenderest sympathy by the gentle little maids. But when he got down to his latest experiences and they learned how long he had been without food, they cut him short and hurried him away to the farmhouse to find a breakfast for him.
The king was cheerful and happy now, and said to himself, 'When I am come to mine own again, I will always honor little children, remembering how that these trusted me and believed in me in my time of trouble; whilst they that were older, and thought themselves wiser, mocked at me and held me for a liar.'
The children's mother received the king kindly, and was full of pity; for his forlorn condition and apparently crazed intellect touched her womanly heart. She was a widow, and rather poor; consequently she had seen trouble enough to enable her to feel for the unfortunate. She imagined that the demented boy had wandered away from his friends or keepers; so she tried to find out whence he had come, in order that she might take measures to return him; but all her references to neighbouring towns and villages, and all her inquiries in the same line, went for nothing- the boy's face, and his answers, too, showed that the things she was talking of were not familiar to him. He spoke earnestly and simply about court matters; and broke down, more than once, when speaking of the late king 'his father'; but whenever the conversation changed to baser topics, he lost interest and became silent.
The woman was mightily puzzled; but she did not give up. As she proceeded with her cooking, she set herself to contriving devices to surprise the boy into betraying his real secret. She talked about cattle- he showed no concern; then about sheep- the same result- so her guess that he had been a shepherd boy was an error; she talked about mills; and about weavers, tinkers, smiths, trades and tradesmen of all sorts; and about Bedlam, and jails, and charitable retreats; but no matter, she was baffled at all points. Not altogether, either; for she argued that she had narrowed the thing down to domestic service. Yes, she was sure she was on the right track now- he must have been a house-servant. So she led up to that. But the result was discouraging. The subject of sweeping appeared to weary him; fire-building failed to stir him; scrubbing and scouring awoke no enthusiasm. Then the goodwife touched, with a perishing hope, and rather as a matter of form, upon the subject of cooking. To her surprise, and her vast delight, the king's face lighted at once! Ah, she had hunted him down at last, she thought; and she was right proud, too, of the devious shrewdness and tact which had accomplished it.
Her tired tongue got a chance to rest now; for the king's, inspired by gnawing hunger and the fragrant smells that came from the sputtering pots and pans, turned itself loose and delivered itself up to such an eloquent dissertation upon certain toothsome dishes, that within three minutes the woman said to herself, 'Of a truth I was right- he hath holpen in a kitchen!' Then he broadened his bill of fare, and discussed it with such appreciation and animation, that the goodwife said to herself, 'Good lack! how can he know so many dishes, and so fine ones withal? For these belong only upon the tables of the rich and great. Ah, now I see! ragged outcast as he is, he must have served in the palace before his reason went astray; yes, he must have helped in the very kitchen of the king himself! I will test him.'
Full of eagerness to prove her sagacity, she told the king to mind the cooking a moment- hinting that he might manufacture and add a dish or two, if he chose- then she went out of the room and gave her children a sign to follow after. The king muttered:
'Another English king had a commission like to this, in a bygone time- it is nothing against my dignity to undertake an office which the great Alfred stooped to assume. But I will try to better serve my trust than he; for he let the cakes burn.'
The intent was good, but the performance was not answerable to it; for this king, like the other one, soon fell into deep thinkings concerning his vast affairs, and the same calamity resulted- the cookery got burned. The woman returned in time to save the breakfast from entire destruction; and she promptly brought the king out of his dreams with a brisk and cordial tongue-lashing. Then, seeing how troubled he was over his violated trust, she softened at once and was all goodness and gentleness toward him.
The boy made a hearty and satisfying meal, and was greatly refreshed and gladdened by it. It was a meal which was distinguished by this curious feature, that rank was waived on both sides; yet neither recipient of the favor was aware that it had been extended. The goodwife had intended to feed this young tramp with broken victuals in a corner, like any other tramp, or like a dog; but she was so remorseful for the scolding she had given him, that she did what she could to atone for it by allowing him to sit at the family table and eat with his betters, on ostensible terms of equality with them; and the king, on his side, was so remorseful for having broken his trust, after the family had been so kind to him, that he forced himself to atone for it by humbling himself to the family level, instead of requiring the woman and her children to stand and wait upon him while he occupied their table in the solitary state due his birth and dignity. It does us all good to unbend sometimes. This good woman was made happy all the day long by the applauses she got out of herself for her magnanimous condescension to a tramp; and the king was just as self-complacent over his gracious humility toward a humble peasant woman.
When breakfast was over, the housewife told the king to wash up the dishes. This command was a staggerer for a moment, and the king came near rebelling; but then he said to himself, 'Alfred the Great watched the cakes; doubtless he would have washed the dishes, too- therefore will I essay it.'
He made a sufficiently poor job of it; and to his surprise, too, for the cleaning of wooden spoons and trenchers had seemed an easy thing to do. It was a tedious and troublesome piece of work, but he finished it at last. He was becoming impatient to get away on his journey now; however he was not to lose this thrifty dame's society so easily. She furnished him some little odds and ends of employment, which he got through with after a fair fashion and with some credit. Then she set him and the little girls to paring some winter apples; but he was so awkward at this service that she retired him from it and gave him a butcher-knife to grind. Afterward she kept him carding wool until he began to think he had laid the good King Alfred about far enough in the shade for the present, in the matter of showy menial heroisms that would read picturesquely in story-books and histories, and so he was half minded to resign. And when, just after the noonday dinner, the goodwife gave him a basket of kittens to drown, he did resign. At least he was just going to resign- for he felt that he must draw the line somewhere, and it seemed to him that to draw it at kitten-drowning was about the right thing- when there was an interruption. The interruption was John Canty- with a peddler's pack on his back- and Hugo!
The king discovered these rascals approaching the front gate before they had had a chance to see him; so he said nothing about drawing the line, but took up his basket of kittens and stepped quietly out the back way, without a word. He left the creatures in an outhouse, and hurried on into a narrow lane at the rear.

La Toya Jackson Thinks Her Brother Michael Was Murdered
Ali Trachta June 13, 2012
La Toya Jackson's latest book, Starting Over, was recently released in paperback. It began as a vehicle to tell the story of breaking free of her abusive husband and getting a second chance at life. But in the middle of writing it, her brother Michael Jackson passed away unexpectedly, and the story took a turn.
The book still contains a detailed account of La Toya's adult life, including the years she spent under the tight control of ex-husband and manager Jack Gordon, how he tore her away from her family, manipulated her and allegedly nearly killed her, until she finally escaped him. But it also details Michael's role in that tumultuous relationship, as well as struggles he encountered late in life, and the events surrounding his eventual death. La Toya claims Michael was murdered, a fact she discusses with us below, in somewhat cryptic detail.
So much has been said about your family, so much has been written about your family…. What does it mean to you to speak for yourself?
I think that when you do it yourself, you write the book, people look at it and know your story. Know your truth. Everybody has their own truth. This is my own story, my own truth, and I wanted to share it with the world. I didn't wish to see anyone else go through anything like what I've gone through. I think if I can help save a life and explain what I had gone through, it's well worth it.
You mention you had a special relationship with Michael. Back when you were little, what was that special connection like?
That was a gold bond. It really was. We dressed alike, we did everything together. My brothers, they would say, 'Why do you guys always have to be together? Why do you always have to dress alike?' And we'd come down the stairs together. Whenever guests would come over Michael would say, 'Let's put on these sweaters!' and we would match and the whole bit.
But it was a natural close bond because we had so many things in common. And I think that's something that you can never break. That's something I cherish. I look back at it now and it means more to me today than it did then, because it was just us.
But now that he's no longer here, for me to share those moments with him, I have to share them mentally, in reminiscing.
You're known to be a pretty spiritual person, and from the book, you say that Michael predicted a lot of things that ended up coming true. Do you think he had psychic abilities?
Well, we were spiritual in the sense of God Jehovah Witness. [Laughs.] It was something we were just religiously so devoted to, Michael and I, growing up. Nothing could really break us from that. It's something people just couldn't understand. They'd say, 'Why are you guys so religious? But yet you're in show business. Don't you want to go out and do this and that?'
But we remained steadfast. We just loved reading the Bible and things of that nature. When we were in school we'd sit out on the lawn, and everybody would play basketball, and Michael and I would read the Bible. [Laughs.] We'd put a blanket down and sit down and read the Bible. We're spiritual in that sense, but anything else as far as psychic abilities, no.
Children were very important to Michael, which perhaps stemmed from abuses he suffered as a child. Do you think that was the case?
No, I don't think so, because it's funny — when we're children we see things so differently than when we're adults. And as an adult, when you have children especially, you begin to see, and Michael began to see, that discipline is necessary, and it wasn't as bad as you look at it when you're a child.
He had a loving heart, and he really cared about people in general. He was a humanitarian. What people don't know is that Michael donated, from his personal pocket, $400 million that he gave to charity around the world. That's something that people don't know about, and that's something he did. He went around and tried to help people, and that was the heart that he had.
Do you think that the abuses in your childhood have been overblown in the media?
I think that it is exaggerated when you see it because that's what you do with a story. They exaggerate it and sensationalize it, in a sense, but yes, of course it is.
Don't get me wrong, we got spankings. Well, I got one in my entire life, but my brothers and sisters got spankings. Back then it was more prevalent. People did that. But it wasn't anything bad. It was a form of discipline, but today we don't do that. And now you realize it wasn't that bad, now that you're an adult. I just looked at it that way because I was afraid.
It seems like Michael was really there for you when it came to issues in your marriage. How did he play a role in helping you 'start over'?
Well, to be quite frank with you, the first cover [of the book] was with Michael and myself. That's what the company wanted. The reason we went with it was because I thought, 'OK, I have the opportunity to start over, but Michael didn't have that opportunity.' I wish he could have.
What I went through, it was just horrific, it was just awful. And just to know that I was free — he was very happy to know I was eventually free. He had warned me by saying, 'If you don't get out of there, [Gordon] is going to kill you.' He knew so much about this individual that I tried my hardest to get away, but I wasn't able to because there was so much turbulence in my relationship that I wasn't privy to or allowed to say, and couldn't do anything about it at that time.
When people are abusing you and they have control over you, they control your thoughts. They control you verbally, physically, and this is what took place — the beatings and things of that nature. He would tell me, 'Do what I tell you to do, and say what I tell you to say, or I'm going to kill your brother, and I'm going to kill you.'
And I couldn't come and say to [Michael], 'He said that he's going to kill you. I wouldn't do that because he had so much concern about me, I didn't wish to hurt him in that way.
Can you give some detail on what happened upon Michael's death? You say in the book that you noticed some very strange details when you go to the scene. What did you see there, and what seemed strange about it to you?
Well, I know my brother, and it's just something he wouldn't do to himself. So I knew that there was negligence, and that it wasn't proper. It wasn't right. Michael loved life too much. He loved his children too much.
Once I was there I just paid attention to every little detail. I kind of learned that not just from my situation but from being caught, that you pay attention to every little detail. Where things are laid out and how it's done. Is there a drip going this way or footprints going this way. What's on the counter. Does it look like somebody tried to clean it up first. My eyes gravitated immediately towards those things, and I thought, 'OK, this is interesting. Someone did this to him.'
Was there anything in particular you remember looking strange to you?
Well, first of all, he couldn't have done it to himself. That's number one, because it's impossible. If you know anything about propofol, it's just something that you cannot inject yourself. It's just such a burning sensation. And the minute you take the needle out, you wake up immediately because that's the strength of that drug. It acts at the moment. His hands were tied, how could he possibly have done it?
Just overall, you have to remember his body was removed at that particular time. We didn't get there until almost 12 or 13 hours later. But I noticed that things weren't intact. You have to remember that during that time, the cops were in there the entire time. But I paid attention to the little things. Going from his room to the other part of the house just trying to figure out what really happened here. What took place. Putting the little pieces together that were left.
Do you feel satisfied with the outcome of the case against Michael's doctor?
No, no, not at all. I'm not satisfied with that at all. It's an ongoing process. Of course, he got four years, which he'll serve probably two or a little less. We've lost a life. A brother. A loss that's forever. It's just not fair. It's not proper.

Q: How to get data from PHP with JSON and AJAX I don't understand how to get data from PHP file with json and ajax. Help me please.
I tried:
addnews.tpl:
    $("#send").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    $.ajax({
        url: "news.php?addnews",
        type: "POST",
        data: {
            title: $("#title").val(),
            text: $("#text").val()
        },
        beforeSend: function() {
            $(".loading").css({
                "display": "inline"
            });
        },
        success: function() {

        }
    });
});

$("#send").click(function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: "news.php?addnews",
        data: {},
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(data) {
            $('.message').html(data.error);
        },
        error: function(xhr){
            $('.message').html('error fetching data');
        }
    });
});

news.php:
    if(isset($_GET['addnews'])) {
    if(!isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
        echo json_encode(array("error" => "error."));
    }
    $news->addNews($_SESSION['id'], $_POST['title'], $_POST['text']);
    $smarty->display("template/addnews.tpl");
}

Another question: how to hide json array (text) on the page?

A: UntestedEither choose post or get. Post has been used in the below code.
addnews.tpl:
$("#send").click(function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: "news.php",
        data: {
        title: $("#title").val(),
        text: $("#text").val(),
        addnews: //your add news value
        },
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(data) {
            $('.message').html(data);
        },
        error: function(xhr){
            $('.message').html('error fetching data');
        }
    });
});

News.php
if(isset($_POST['addnews'])) {
    if(!isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
        echo json_encode("error");
    }else{
    $news->addNews($_SESSION['id'], $_POST['title'], $_POST['text']);
    // $smarty->display("template/addnews.tpl");
    echo json_encode("success");
    }
}

A: If you're trying to POST or GET data, both your Onclick Handlers are called at the same time.
You need to separate those two calls and have one which will POST data and one for GETting data.
Also in news.php you need to add logic for when you want to POST and when you want to GET
something like
if(isset($_GET['addnews'])) {
    if(!isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
        echo json_encode(array("error" => "error."));
    }
    $smarty->display("template/addnews.tpl");
}

if(isset($_POST['title']))
{
    if(!isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
        echo json_encode(array("error" => "error."));
    }
 $news->addNews($_SESSION['id'], $_POST['title'], $_POST['text']);
}

A: After you echo a json_encode you need to return from the code and not print anything after that,if you do so it will be an invalid json.
E.g
if(!isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
    echo json_encode(array("error" => "error."));
    return
}

Technology Trends in the Insurance Industry from 2022 to 2023
Throughout 2022, we saw the effects of this transformation as we began navigating a post-pandemic environment. In 2023, the industry must focus on customer journey and data protection.
For decades, insurance brokers have relied on human-based interactions to navigate customer journeys. COVID-19 accelerated the digitization of medical data, reimbursements, underwriting, case analysis, and more. Throughout 2022, we saw the effects of this transformation as we began navigating a post-pandemic environment. In 2023, the industry must focus on customer journey and data protection.
How did COVID-19 accelerate digitization for the insurance industry?
The shift to remote work had a substantial effect on the traditionally slow insurance industry. What was once the normal routine of meeting customers in person and spending hours on document workflow management, quickly pivoted to phone calls, video chats, and back-office automation.
According to LexisNexis Risk Solutions' 2019 Future of Claims Study, 95% of insurance carriers were embracing virtual claims or already considering it before the pandemic hit. 79% of carriers were considering touchless claims handling and one in five consumers preferred self-service claim options already. This proved the market was already looking to digitize, but the process was expedited once they had no other choice.
What were the most influential insurance industry trends of 2022?
There were major trends that influenced the insurance industry in 2022, including automation, consolidation, supply chain disruption, and the rising cost of claims. With the increase of mobile app capabilities, the insurance industry has been enhanced with 24/7 customer service and. more personalized risk profiles. It has also enhanced insurers' abilities to retain and attract clients while transforming the ease of insurance activities like claims processing, policy management, and underwriting.
Consolidation swept the insurance industry in 2021 and 2022. Firms that embraced automated processes became attractive to acquisitions and found added motivation in anticipated increases to federal capital gains tax. Supply chain disruption delayed auto and homeowners' insurance claims while contributing to rising costs.This resulted in the consumer price index (CPI) rising to 8.5% from the previous year, marking the largest increase since 1981, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
What are the insurance industry trends for 2023?
Insurers are making substantial progress, but work remains to be done. They must continue to invest in delivering a better digital policyholder experience, especially in claims, and support a new workforce model powered by automation and artificial intelligence. By transforming the claims process and prioritizing policyholders, insurers will find themselves spending more time communicating with their clients transparently than in previous years.
With the upkeep of digitization comes a higher risk of fraud. In 2023, we will see more anti-fraud technology emerging in the insurance industry to combat criminals who have found new ways to exploit technology to commit crimes. Document reviewing platforms like Wisedocs and insurance company mobile applications must remain vigilant to ensure their clients have the utmost confidentiality and security of their personal information.
In terms of Wisedocs, they consistently audit their platform to ensure the most up-to-date standards are adhered to while handling sensitive content. Insurance companies are hiring highly trained engineers to secure databases with the latest firewall features. They will also have to stress their value by marketing ways their customers can save while they simultaneously raise their rates.

Cyberpunk 2077: Why streaming a mission might get your channel banned
Raamiz Naeem
It's finally here. After nearly 10 years of development, multiple launch delays, controversies surrounding mandatory crunch and tremendous hype, Cyberpunk 2077 arrives. It is now on PC, Stadia, Xbox and PlayStation (both consoles currently run backwards compatible versions, with next-gen upgrades upcoming). With rave reviews from fans and critics alike, thanks to a freeform open-world, fantastic graphics and the sheer content, it is now widely analyzed, explored and enjoyed by millions.
As we previously mentioned here, CD Projekt Red (of the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt fame) treats its fans better than most contemporaries. While a few years back, we saw big names like EA called out for greedy paywalls in their games, this company stands apart. After all, the Witcher 3 itself grew so iconic thanks to its quality gameplay, reasonably priced DLC and steady support via patches and updates. With Cyberpunk 2077, it may also become equally praised for that too. However, CD Projekt Red just dropped the ball majorly when it comes to protecting streamers legally playing the game.
Despite assurances otherwise, CD Projekt Red left an unsafe track during a crucial mission
In the weeks following up to December 10, CD Projekt Red teased slow trickles of information on their highly-anticipated game. With regular livestreams and official Tweets with new information, fans grew pumped. Many of their features appealed to fans because of the way they encouraged and facilitated streaming. Forming a source of income for many gamers, the company wanted to extend a friendly hand of support. They built in an optional nudity censor (despite the game's mature, explicit overtones), unlike the Witcher 3. This aimed to help streamers on YouTube evade community guidelines violations.
The other major step they took was sharing the workarounds to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). In the United States, this body of law is used to root out illegal pirating and copyright infringement. While it can help music artists worried about getting their records bootlegged, it has some unintended repercussions. The chiefest of these is that anyone propagating said art without paying an official royalty/copyright may face a 'strike'. A DMCA strike is a serious punishment, and often platforms like Twitch and YouTube instantly drop affected streamers. That could mean the loss of one's career right away, along with a hefty fine or other penal injunctions.
In Cyberpunk 2077's case, CD Projekt Red made it clear that players who wanted to stream gameplay could easily toggle off music. This would mean the rest of the game's audio would remain unaffected, but the potential risk removed. However, they also recently discovered that the score during an important 'braindance' mission maintained unavoidable copyrighted music. This means anyone streaming that particular part of the game could see a sudden DMCA strike.
We just noticed there's a song in the game which might put a DMCA strike on your channel even when playing with "Disable Copyrighted Music" option on. While we work on fixing it, please make sure to turn the sound off during the first two Braindance sequences. Apologies! pic.twitter.com/yfP6Tbdta0
— Cyberpunk 2077 (@CyberpunkGame) December 9, 2020
While they caught this issue early on, the damage may already impact countless unaware Cyberpunk 2077 fans
The first two braindances segments mentioned above, unfortunately, come pretty early into the game. The game, now released almost a full day ago in some areas, may already become a landmine. Undoubtedly, more than a few streamers have already broadcasted these sections of the game, totally unaware of the potential DMCA hammer. And while the company may have caught on and acknowledged the problem, they have no timeline on any solution as of yet.
Furthermore, keep in mind the DMCA don't just target streamers. Even sharing video game clips to your social media may trigger a warning or possible strike. That means even casual gamers outside of streaming may become affected.
So, as a PSA to any fellow Cyberpunk 2077 fans: please don't stream or post anything else with any recognizable form of music. Wait a bit, and hopefully CD Projket Red will totally deworm the entire game. Stay tuned for the latest on that!

Controversial Ronaldo hat-trick ousts Bayern from Europe
Real Madrid eliminated Bayern Munich at the Champions League quarter-finals thanks to a controversial hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo which contributed to a 4-2 win (6-3 on aggregate) over the German Champions.
Lagging behind with two away goals against them, Bayern had started on the front foot with Robert Lewandowski, who was out with injury in the first leg, drilling in a penalty confidently.
And while Ronaldo headed in a from a fine Casemiro cross in the second half, Bayern immediately responded just 36 seconds later as they forced an own goal from Sergio Ramos to extend the game into extra time.
But the turning point came against Bayern as their key midfielder Arturo Vidal, already booked for an early foul on the edge of the Bayern area, was shown a second yellow card for what looked like a clean sliding tackle on Marco Asensio.
While the Bundesliga leaders began to sway under Madrid's numerical advantage, it was a clear referee mistake that went against them as Ronaldo was standing at least a yard offside when he met Ramos' pass before turning to fire Madrid 4-3 ahead on aggregate. The Portuguese captain was again off the line when he tapped in after Marcelo's cutting run.
As Asensio rounded off the controversial victory for Madrid by finishing his own run off the halfway line, the feeling of being robbed remained distinctly in Bayern. The Bavarians had also played the last 30 minutes of the first leg with just 10 men after Javi Martinez's dismissal.
"In a quarter-final you have to put a better referee, or it is the moment to introduce video refereeing, which is what Uefa are trying, because there are too many errors," Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti said.

Q: Unable to set my state variables using this.setState() which is called through onClick() I am getting the mouse coordinates when the mouse is clicked on canvas element through onClick={this.handleClick}. In handleClick method, I'm calculating the coordninates as "xaxis" and "yaxis" and setting these values to state variables "x" and "y" through setState. Im getting the predefined values shown instead of calculated values.
import React from "react";
import "./Canvas.css";

export default class Canvastest extends React.Component{

constructor(){
    super()
    this.state={
        x:0,
        y:0
    }
}

 handleClick=(e)=>{

    console.log("test");
    const canvas = this.refs.cvs;
    const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    let rect =canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
    let xaxis = e.clientX - rect.left;
    let yaxis = e.clientY - rect.top;
    console.log("xaxis : "+xaxis);
    console.log("yaxis : "+yaxis);

    this.setState({x:xaxis});
    this.setState({y:yaxis});
    console.log(this.state.x);
    console.log(this.state.y);
    ctx.fillStyle = "green";
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.arc(xaxis, yaxis, 6, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
    ctx.stroke();
    ctx.fill();
    ctx.save();
  }

  render(){
    return(
        <div>
            <canvas ref="cvs" height="300" width="300" onClick=
              {this.handleClick}></canvas>

        </div>
    );
  }
 }

 actual results :
 test
 Canvastest.js:24 xaxis : 88
 Canvastest.js:25 yaxis : 102
 Canvastest.js:29 0
 Canvastest.js:30 0
 Canvastest.js:18 test
 Canvastest.js:24 xaxis : 201
 Canvastest.js:25 yaxis : 169
 Canvastest.js:29 88
 Canvastest.js:30 102

 Expected results :

 test
 Canvastest.js:24 xaxis : 88
 Canvastest.js:25 yaxis : 102
 Canvastest.js:29 88
 Canvastest.js:30 102
 Canvastest.js:18 test
 Canvastest.js:24 xaxis : 201
 Canvastest.js:25 yaxis : 169
 Canvastest.js:29 201
 Canvastest.js:30 169
 so on...

A: This is expected as you are trying to output the values before the setState function finished setting new values. Try below to see the updated values.
You can set your state in one go as below.
this.setState({x:xaxis,y:yaxis},()=>{
    console.log(this.state.x);
    console.log(this.state.y);

The water would be diverted from Cottonwrood Creek into existing canals which would he rehabilitated as necessary and to the potential Gooseberry Highline Canal for conveyance to project lands. Drains would be provided as needed. Feasibility studies are needed for this project. Investigations are progressing. A definite plan report is expected to be completed by June, 1959. WYOMING a. Sublette Project The potential Sublette Project is planned to store and divert waters of the upper Green River and its tributaries to supply irrigation water for about 72,000 acres of undeveloped lands and 12,000 acres of lands presently irrigated with an inadequate supply. The plan also includes a small hydroelectric power plant. The project would be located in the Green River Basin in Sublette County, western Wyoming. Reconnaissance studies indicate that the project would consist of two independent divisions (Buckskin and West Side). With project development the irrigated lands would be utilized largely for the support of livestock enterprises as now practiced in the area. Climatically adapted crops such as hay, pasture, and small grains would be produced. Livestock would be primarily beef cattle and sheep. Preliminary land classification surveys indicate that the lands would be suitable for sustained crop production under irrigation farming. A detailed land classification has been made for part of the area. Completion of detailed classification would be necessary to confirm the suitability of all lands. Studies of streamflow records and simulated project operations indicate that an adequate irrigation supply would be available with moderate shortages in occasional drought years. The total increase in irrigation water supply would approximate 268,000 acre-feet -62-

What better way to spend your week then with friends, under the sun, playing on the water. The journey starts with a roadtrip up to Sudbury to get the canoes and meet up with everyone. Once everything is packed and we are ready to go, we take off headed south to the Magnetawan River. It was very late by the time we got to Harris Lake which is where we start paddling. We decided to camp there rather than paddle in the dark.
Wake up, breakfast, and we are ready to go! We got a fun lesson about important things to remember while on this trip about paddling, teamwork, and the canoes. We continued the lesson once on the water as we played around practicing the strokes. Once everyone felt comfortable we started moving forward on our way.
Today was a fun day of flat water paddling. We stopped for lunch and went for a swim to cool down because it was so hot. It was so nice and refreshing that we wanted to stay in the water! Any chance we got we would spot a nice rock face and go cliff jumping and swimming! It was so fun to work together, someone would ensure it was deep enough below, someone would find a path up to get to the jumping spot, and everyone encouraged everyone to jump in and have fun.
As we were paddling, we decided to raft up (bring all the canoes together side by side) and we got a tarp out and created a sail! It was windy enough that all we had to do was steer. It was so cool and a lot of fun just watching the wind take us!
When looking for rocks to jump off of, we came across a bridge. Bridge jumping? YES PLEASE let's do it! We were all excited because it looked high and like lots of fun. Climbing up to the top I think we all didn't realize just how HIGH we were. When you get up on top of the towering bridge, plus the wind rushing past you… it got us second guessing for a moment. But with a little courage (and watching someone else do it first) all of us who were nervous took a leap of faith and jumped! It was such a thrill!
We continued on our way and stopped when we found a nice place to set up camp for the night. We unloaded the boats, took up the gear, set up tents, tarps, and a fire. Felt nice and cozy our new home for the night. Some people got dinner started while others were finishing up setting up the tents. Dinner was ready and served around the fire. It was delicious! So good that people had seconds after an overflowing first bowl! Even with everyone had finished eating, we still had enough rice left over to fill a 1L water bottle! Good snack for the next day right?
While some of us stayed under the tarp mesh area hiding from the bugs, others embraced it all and went for a midnight swim off of the island we were camping at. After the swim we warmed up and dried off by the fire. As I headed to bed tired from all the fun we had today, half the group stayed up enjoying the fire and glowing stars.
After packing up the boats and cleaning up the site, we headed out again. Switching up some of the canoe partners to let people try different spots and different partners was a fun way to learn how to work with different paddlers who may be stronger than you or have a dominant side conflicting with yours. Off we go! Paddling looking around at the gorgeous scenery; magnificent trees towering from each side of us, to the winding river path ahead of us, sun shining down from above.
While paddling we chatted, laughed, told riddles, got stumped by riddles, sang, laughed some more, had relaxing paddling, and had some competitive racing intense paddling.
When we got to our first rapid, the water levels were too low so we had to portage it. We suspected that the water levels were dramatically lower than usual as we could see the water lines of where the water used to be. The next rapid we approached was flowing nicely but was too dangerous to run. We parked the canoes so we could look at the rapid. We learned about the parts of the rapid, what parts to aim your canoe towards and what parts to avoid. We talked about why we couldn't run the rapid and also when in rapids if you tip what to do and how to defensively and offensively swim. After learning, we all got to jump into the rapid and defensively swim down the rapid until the end when we had to offensively swim out of the rapid to the shore. Just like jumping off of the bridge, some found this nerve racking. It was not about the height this time as we weren't very high, it was more about jumping into fast moving water. We all helped motivate those who were nervous and when we jumped and popped out of the water you saw nothing but smiles! It was exciting and of course like everything else on this trip, it was fun!
After jumping in, we went back to the canoes and portaged past the rapid. After getting a feel for playing in the rapid, I was very excited to start the white water and run a rapid.
Due to us playing so much the first day on the water, we had some distance to make up today. We did well and even came across some swifts to go down! They were fun going down and dodging the rocks. Afterwards, we kept paddling and stopped for lunch when everyone was a little hungry but also hot and ready to cool down. We stopped, ate lunch, some went for a swim, and back in the boats we went, paddling along.
While paddling a rain cloud passed over us. It started pouring rain, like hard torrential rain! We all paddled hard with huge grins across our faces as we challenge to pass through the rain drops beating on us. It was a fun fast 5 minutes and then clear skies again! The rain was quite refreshing actually!
We found another nice campsite while on a portage. We portaged the stuff around a massive rapid and half way we stopped and set up camp. We made dinner and while cooking, some of the group went to swim at the bottom of the rapid. What a view we had camping right beside, overlooking the whole rapid and everything around it. Everyone came back for dinner time. Dinner was delicious and afterwards we played a game to end the night laughing and having fun with each other.
The next morning we stuffed ourselves with some yummy breakfast, packed up, cleaned up, and carried our stuff down to the river walking the rest of the portage. In the boats and away we go! We had a day of relaxed paddling and fun swimming and cliff jumping, then we had a day of distance making up some kilometres and today is our day of white water!
As we paddle along we start to hear the water... helmets on! Safety first so helmets on when you can hear the moving water just in case you suddenly get stuck in it. When putting on my helmet its gets real and very exciting to me because i know the fun ahead but the mystery is still there. It's a mystery because even though you know rapids are ahead, you don't know what class they are (difficulty), how long they are, whether you are going to tip and fall in.
After playing on this rapid for a while and everyone going down a few times (and tipping a few times as well haha), we collected the gear into the boats and were on our way to the next rapid. We had to portage one or two more but ran many others. The last rapid we ran I was rushing down full speed and saw that the canoe that went before mine had tipped… I soon realized something was up, when I saw that they were stationary where they tipped! When we were going down I realized this and had to quickly turn the boat to avoid hitting theirs! We successfully passed and parked our canoe. I noticed that the canoe was actually stuck. It had been pinned between several large rocks in the rapid and was lying on its side filled with water pinched inside the rocks. Everyone parked their canoes and the boys all tried lifting the canoe out with no luck. From lifting we tried a pulley system with ropes and carabiners. Attached on one side to the canoe and the other side to a tree. No luck again so we tried from the other side of the river. We tried having people pull the rope while others lifted the canoe, all to no victory. 4 hours later after the canoe was initially stuck, we had to give up and leave the canoe. It was getting dark and by then the canoe was breaking, and everyone was losing energy.
We said goodbye to the canoe and started portaging everything past the rapids and reorganizing to fit the lost boats gear and people into the canoes that we still had. After some planning we got it all organized. The exhaustion has hitting everyone, it was getting dark, and people were more than ready to sleep. We paddled until we found a campsite, quickly split up and had dinner made while tents got set up. Everyone ate and then went straight to bed.
Up early and trying to move fast today. We had breakfast and packed up quickly so that we could get on the water. Paddling today we came across a creek. We started portaging through shallow water and stones sticking out everywhere. After a stretch of portaging, we decided it would be easier to portage along the road we found. It was a longer portage but safer, and easier to walk. After the long portage under the hot sun, we took a break had some snacks and when we saw the water couldn't wait to get in! We paddled out past the swampy part and jumped in off the canoes! So nice and refreshing!
Once we were cooled down, we got the stuff in the boats and off we go! A short hour or two more maybe and we'd be back at the marina where we started! As we paddle, it starts to get a little cloudy and we hear thunder in the sky above us. We keep paddling, hugging the shore just in case we need to get on land. Paddling and looking around for any lightening, we suddenly see a huge strike of lightning strike down right in front of us! "GO TO THE SHORE" one yells and we are all quickly making our way. We park the boats and jump out and into the forest. Everyone spread out and crouched on top of their life jackets waiting for the storm to pass. It was a crazy experience slightly scary but more just another amazing memory to take away from the trip!
Half an hour later, the storm had passed and we were in the clear! The group hoped back in the canoes and we were in our canoes for another hour before making it to the marina.
What a week! Amazing people, memorable challenges, epic rapids, crazy fun! It's what you sign up for when you get outside! Except for the lost canoe. That really wasn't part of the plan.
