Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and chaos visit the Iowa State Fair – Washington Post
DES MOINES — The road to the White House leads from the life-size cow carved from 600 pounds of butter here at the Iowa State Fair to the stand selling $7 grilled pork chops on a stick.
There's where Hillary Rodham Clinton was strolling on Saturday, shaking hands and posing for selfies with sweaty supporters under an unforgiving sun, when the whirring sound of helicopter blades approached, then grew louder, then louder still.
"Look up in the sky!" Greta Tarbell, 63, cried out. "There's Trump! He's got his own helicopter. Have at it, baby!"
The black chopper with bold white letters spelling T-R-U-M-P circled the fairgrounds once. Then twice. Then a third time.
The Donald had arrived. And with that, the forces that are making the 2016 presidential contest so extraordinary collided theatrically at the legendary Iowa State Fair.
Donald Trump, the billionaire reality television star whose shamelessness and braggadocio is disrupting the Republican primary, was out of his element here but undoubtedly in command.
He stepped out of his helicopter like a Palm Beach mogul, sporting a navy blazer and breezy cream slacks, a red cap with his "Make America Great Again" slogan, French cuffs and buffed white dress shoes, which would be challenged moments later when the Trump entourage walked through a pile of horse dung.
A political Willy Wonka, Trump offered rides in his helicopter, which landed at a nearby baseball field, to randomly selected handfuls of Iowa children. "Come here," he said to the kids. "Does anyone want to take a ride? It's nice, right? . . . Who wants to go first?"
"You know we don't do subtle," Trump's spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, acknowledged.
This, apparently, is how America chooses its presidents.
At the fairgrounds, there was no collision between the Democratic and Republican front-runners. Still, the chaos and spectacle Clinton and Trump each created during their visits Saturday crystallized the dynamics of the race.
First was Clinton. A dynasty candidate criticized for being aloof, she tried to ingratiate herself with everyday Iowans. She had as her guide Tom Harkin, the state's legendary populist senator who retired earlier this year and gave Clinton his endorsement on Friday. Harkin, wearing his signature straw hat, showed her the way.
The former secretary of state stood at the fence of a dirty paddock to meet a shorthorn cow named Maggie. (She paid no attention to the shiny black Rolls-Royce parked a few yards away.) She expressed amazement at a Monopoly-themed butter statue. She bit into a greasy pork chop and sipped from a jumbo cup of fresh-squeezed lemonade.
"I love your blue outfit!" Clinton gushed to one stranger.
"This is like being back at the New York State Fair, surrounded by friends," she told another.
Walking through the Agriculture Building — past showcases of the thickest carrots, roundest beets and biggest heads of iceberg lettuce — Clinton made her way to the famed butter cow. She smiled and waved, waved and smiled.
"I'm so excited," said Kate Reed, 48, an accountant. "This was my whole goal today, to get to see her. But oh, my God. This is insane."
From start to finish, Clinton was surrounded by a swarm of Secret Service agents, campaign staffers and reporters shouting questions such as, "What about your e-mail servers?" and "Have you had any conversations with Biden?" (The vice president has been weighing whether to challenge her in the Democratic primary.)
The everyday Iowans Clinton had come here to meet and win over risked physical danger getting close to her. The candidate was engulfed by a mob of media and photo-snapping supporters, everyone hot and sticky, tripping over each other.
"Is that her behind the bald guy?" one woman asked. "I've seen blond hair pop up a couple of times."
Louis Picone, 44, got close enough. Then he taunted everyone else. "I shook Hillary's hand," he called out. "Only $2 to shake my hand!"
And that was before Trump showed up.
An even larger horde surrounded the celebrity businessman as he inched down the main concourse of the fair, past picnic areas and stands hawking such heart-healthy delicacies as deep-fried nacho balls, bacon-wrapped smokies on a stick and deep-fried Twinkies.
"I have a crowd 10 times what Hillary had," Trump boasted, though his estimate was definitely inflated. Earlier, reminding reporters he topped the latest polls here, Trump declared: "I love Iowa, great place. I've really developed a relationship with it."
"Hey, Donald, you're my favorite man!" shouted a boy, who stood on top of a golf cart to see the candidate in the red cap walk by.
The scene was mayhem. Trump's private security agents tried to enforce a buffer around him. When a camera crew dropped a boom microphone overhead, an agent said, "Gotta keep the mics away from his head."
Fans reached out their arms toward Trump. They stood on their tiptoes to snap pictures of the man they recognized from television. They screamed his name and cheered him on. "Give me a selfie!" yelled one fan. "Save our country!" screamed another.
After one woman shook Trump's hand, her friend gleefully asked, "Was his hand soft?" She said it was.
Al Linquist, 63, called his wife from the middle of the scrum: "I just shook hands with Trump. Honest to God. Scouts' oath. I got my hand in there and told him, 'Keep it up!'"
But not everyone gawking at Trump was so encouraging of his campaign.
One woman stood on a park bench and shouted, "Donald, we love you! Woooo!" But when a reporter asked if she really loved him, she shook her head sheepishly and said, "No, do you?"
Faith Lain, 37, was absolutely giddy after meeting Trump, but he doesn't have her vote.
"He's a spectacle and he's ridiculous," she said. "That's why I wanted to shake his hand. . . . The state fair is about doing ridiculous things. And there's nothing more ridiculous than Donald Trump being president."
When Trump got to the pork chop stand, where Clinton had been only an hour earlier, an aide handed him a box of chops on sticks. He picked up one, took a big bite out of it and held it up for the cameras. "This is the real deal, right?" Trump said. After one bite, however, he put the chop back in the box. He didn't eat anything else.
Trump, who earlier in the day had singled out former Florida governor Jeb Bush for criticism, called out to the crowd that had gathered: "Who do you support? Trump or Bush?"
"Trump!" the crowd yelled back. The candidate mugged for the cameras and held up two fingers in a victory sign.
Both Trump and Clinton opted out of appearing at the Des Moines Register Soapbox, a state fair rite of passage for presidential aspirants, who each get 20 minutes to address fairgoers — and often get mercilessly heckled. Trump said he skipped the soapbox because of his feud with the Register. The newspaper, he said Saturday, was "not relevant."
Some of Clinton's supporters criticized her decision to avoid taking questions from fairgoers at the soapbox, although she did answer a few questions from reporters at a morning news conference.
"She should go to the soapbox, absolutely," said Nancy Thise, 47, a Clinton supporter. "She should get it over with. She should face her fears and her critics. People love her for the right reasons and her campaign people are not doing her any justice by protecting her."
Shortly after Clinton and Trump were ferried off the fairgrounds — Clinton by armored Chevrolet Suburban, Trump by golf cart — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is waging a populist challenge to Clinton for the Democratic nomination, stepped onto the soapbox.
As Sanders's commanding voice boomed from the tiny stage, hundreds of people — perhaps 1,000 or more — stopped in their tracks to listen, making the main concourse of the fair nearly impossible to pass for the roughly 15 minutes he spent speaking.
Sanders delivered his talking points about leading a "political revolution" to take on "the billionaire class." And then, up in the sky, he spotted Trump's helicopter hovering, soon to leave town.
"I apologize," Sanders told the crowd. "We left the helicopter at home."

Southwyck Mall was a shopping mall in southern Toledo, Ohio. After the final anchor (Dillard's) left, along with most of the inline stores, the mall closed on June 29, 2008.

History
The mall first opened in August 1972 by Kansas City developers Frank Morgan and Sherman Dreiseszun and had many stores, including Lion Store, Montgomery Ward, and Lamson's. For a time in the late 1970s through the early 1980s, Southwyck had a section called "Old Towne".  Accessible via a narrow themed walkway from the regular mall, Old Towne was a common area with cobblestone streets and at least 30 smaller retailers, plus a few novelty arcade machines and a "play tic-tac-toe with the chicken" machine.  Old Towne would eventually close, and the space converted to an additional three cinema screens by AMC (the mall originally opened with a seven-plex, the world's first, according to AMC literature at the time).  AMC also operated another multiplex cinemas in the mall with 8 screens.  Both theaters were eventually sold by AMC to National Amusements in 1995, and later closed.

The mall closed its doors after 36 years of business on June 29, 2008 and by November 1, 2009, the Southwyck Mall was completely demolished; the last structure to be demolished being the Montgomery Ward automobile service center.

From Lion's to Dillard's
When Lamson's closed in the mid-1970s, Lion converted that store into a "Lion's for the Home", with the other store focusing on fashion.  When The Lion Store was acquired by Dillard's, the two stores became a Dillard's department store and a Dillard's Home Store. Montgomery Ward closed in 2001 and remained vacant. More recently, Dillard's closed its home store in the mall. Diamond's Men Shops, the last original tenant in the mall, has since moved its shop into a strip mall across Reynolds Road, not far from Southwyck. In October 2007, Dillards moved to The Shops at Fallen Timbers.

After the mall closed, plans were made to demolish it for an outdoor shopping center.

If you want to completely refresh your driving cycle and clear all "rolling" hours, all you have to do is take 34 consecutive hours off-duty. The 34-hour restart has gone through some changes over the past year. Most recently, the requirement to log two off-duty periods between 1AM and 5AM within the 34-hour period was suspended. Now the rule is much simpler — you just need to take 34 consecutive hours off-duty to be eligible for a restart. This is the most up-to-date requirement for a restart and the only one you need to know.

Carmena to Outlaw 95% of Madrid's Tourist Apartments
27 July 2018 – Expansión
The days are numbered for tourist apartments in the centre of Madrid. Yesterday, the Town Hall of Madrid gave the green light to legislation that will put a limit on holiday rentals: 90 days or three months, is the maximum term that a person may rent their home for those purposes. From day 91 onwards, owners will need to have a commercial lodging licence, just like hotels.
Yesterday, the Spanish capital's Governing Body approved the Special Plan for the Regulation of the Use of Lodgings, which will apply to the city's most central neighbourhoods. The plan is expected to enter into force at the beginning of 2019, after being approved by the plenary session in October.
The Town Hall led by the mayor Manuela Carmena is also going to prohibit the operation of all homes destined to tourist rental that do not have an independent entrance, like in the case of hotels. According to the Town Hall, with that requirement, "95% of homes that operate as tourist apartments will no longer be able to do so".
"Specifically, the affected radius will span 52.7 km, distributed in three concentric rings, depending on the massification of the ads. According to the Town Hall, in the rest of the municipality, "the existing legislation will be maintained". Madrid is, in fact, the European capital where the number of adverts on these platforms has grown by the most, up by 67% in 2017 with respect to 2016, according to a report from Colliers International.
With this legislation, Madrid's Town Hall is opening a new chapter in the fight between public administrations and tourist apartments. Its intention is to outlaw almost all of the tourist apartments that are advertised on platforms such as Airbnb in the centre of the city.
The prohibition is tacit. The trick is that 95% of the homes advertised on these platforms in the capital do not have an independent entrance. That limitation will only exist in the case of homes that are leased for more than three months. The 90-day limit draws a line between what is considered a home for tourist use and a property in the collaborative economy.
Obtaining a licence is not going to be easy. It will be subject to zoning, following in the footsteps of cities such as Barcelona. Once the Special Plan comes into force, it will not be possible to change the use of a home located within the inner two rings from residential to tertiary, given that those properties account for the majority of the regulated and unregulated tourist supply. Together with this new plan, the Town Hall has approved a moratorium that prohibits the granting of tourist licences of any kind for one year.
Putting a cap on rents
The objective of the plan is to preserve residential use in the central areas of the city that, with the tourist boom and rise of online platforms, are seeing rising rental prices.
In this vein, the Town Hall wants to establish maximum rental prices. To that end, and as it already did in the case of the request for the tourist tax, the delegate for Sustainable Urban Development, José Manuel Calvo, yesterday asked Sanchez's Governments for the necessary powers.

An important part of why I founded WARG as a collective (it's "We" AR Games for a reason) is because I believe that ARGs have the potential to really bring people together in a way that many other forms of media cannot. I tell this story a lot, but my first ARG, The Crucible, resulted in two weddings between players who had never met each other prior to the game.
A good ARG stirs emotions in the players and PMs alike that you just don't get with less-interactive media. When you can talk to a character, and you really get to know them and get a sense of them as a person and not just a character in a story, you develop an intimate relationship with the story/world as a whole. That relationship with the work extends to the other people that you're sharing these experiences with. I've made longstanding relationships with fellow PMs and players alike, as well as players who became co-PMs over time due to them making themselves an integral part of the storytelling experience. You don't have the opportunity to do that with actors on a screen.
The closest thing to a player-community experience that you get is in current "fandom culture", but even with that there are fundamental differences. Modern fandom culture creates the illusion of a tight-knit community around a shared interest, but most fandom communities are huge, with thousands of members, most of whom don't know one another from Adam. There are small sub-groups of most major fandoms where the members share a particular niche within the wider community, and that gets a bit closer to what it's like to be a part of a highly interactive ARG's playerbase, but that still doesn't capture the feeling of being invested in the lives of the characters, and the way that a player community as a whole can collectively impact those characters' lives. There's just something about the knowledge that you and your friends' suggestions can result in someone's salvation or demise that is especially conducive to relationship-building.
All of this is to say that ARGs bring people together in new and interesting ways. Intense and beautiful ways. In my humble opinion, I think this is fantastic. As I've mentioned before, I want my work to make people feel things that are significant, even profound. There is no more profound feeling than love, be that romantic, platonic, or fraternal. I want WARG to cultivate a community that carries over from one game to the next, building long-lasting friendships along the way. Each new game should bring new players into the fold, and the community that already exists should welcome them with open arms. That's my vision for how this should work.
The community we have already is like this. Every time a new person shows up in the server, there are at least a handful of people around to welcome them. We all feel comfortable bringing our joys and our pains to the community. We share our varied creative gifts, as they relate to ARGs or otherwise. We support each other. We love each other. I'm proud to say that we have one of the most genuinely kind and caring communities on the internet. I can only hope that as we continue to grow, we're able to maintain this sense of closeness.
What do you look for in a community? What does "community" mean to you?

We, the citizens of Ulcinj, Montenegro, Europe and the whole world, call on Mr. Duško Marković, Prime Minister of Montenegro,
•	to ensure the timely revitalization of salt production in Ulcinj Salina. #ForSalt
•	to secure the protection of Ulcinj Salina under national and international law. #ForBirds
•	to safeguard that Ulcinj Salina remains the property of the Montenegrin people and is managed in the best interest of the country's people and nature. #ForPeople
This site, once protected and well managed, could support a vibrant economy of salt production and sustainable tourism in which people and nature truly benefit from each other.
Background information on the importance of Ulcinj Salina
#ForSalt
Ulcinj Salina is a 1,492 ha salt works near the town of Ulcinj in southern Montenegro, close to the magnificent Adriatic coast. From 1935 on, salt production here provided employment for up to 400 people. However, following privatization in 2005, the salt factory was systematically degraded. Finally, in 2013, the last grain of salt was harvested and the salina's workers were dismissed. Mismanagement of the abandoned infrastructure (e.g. its dikes and channels) has seen the salina rapidly deteriorate with each passing day. This hampers the water management in the salina drastically and consequently its 'other' function as an important breeding and resting site for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds. Therefore, we call upon Mr. Duško Marković, Prime Minister of Montenegro, to ensure the timely revitalization of salt production in Ulcinj Salina.
#ForBirds
The sheer extent of Ulcinj Salina's wetland habitats and the high species diversity of its fauna and flora are unique for the eastern Adriatic region. Ulcinj Salina is the most important resting, wintering and breeding site for many species of waterbirds along the Adriatic Flyway. Thousands of individual birds, and more than 250 different species, rely on the salina each year, including Great Flamingos, Black-winged Stilts and Dalmatian Pelicans which come to feed in its shallow waters. Ulcinj Salina is also a habitat for many endangered species of fish, amphibians and reptiles, as well as saline plants. With such natural riches Ulcinj Salina was named a candidate Emerald Site under the Bern Convention in 2007. Yet, since then, no conservation measures have been taken to preserve its natural value. Since 2006, Ulcinj Salina has been known to fulfil six of the nine alternative criteria for designation as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention, but the Government of Montenegro has still not applied for its nomination. As a candidate for EU membership, Montenegro cannot afford to lose Ulcinj Salina as a future jewel in the EU's Natura2000 network of protected areas. Therefore, we call upon Mr. Duško Marković, Prime Minister of Montenegro, to secure the protection of Ulcinj Salina under national and international law.
#ForPeople
Salt production in Ulcinj Salina was privatized for €800,000 in a non-transparent process in 2005, with the stakeholder Eurofond holding the majority of the shares. Since then, the salina has been deliberately run-down and Eurofond has, on several occasions, attempted to sell the land for hundreds of millions of Euros, claiming that they purchased not only the concession to harvest salt, but the land itself. Eurofond has presented Ulcinj Salina to international investors as a potential development site for a luxury tourist complex including golf courses, a marina and other amenities. Yet it remains unclear who actually owns Ulcinj Salina. Therefore we call upon Mr. Duško Marković, Prime Minister of Montenegro, to safeguard that Ulcinj Salina remains the property of the Montenegrin people and is managed in the best interest of the country's people and nature.

Georgia has always had a big love for Couture. From an early age she taught herself to sew on her mother's old Sewing machine. Taking every opportunity to learn more, lead her to take on a part time job within the industry at fifteen. After a few years of studying Couture, then working in a Melbourne Couture house for another three years, it was time to start the dream.
There is a strong distinctive design difference with our gowns, that isn't quite like anything else.With the use of strong lines, geometric shapes, clean fabrics and contemporary vibes, these gowns are the perfect Couture piece for the modern bride.

The Devil and Tom Walker — A Property Tale 4
by Marc L. Roark • Property, Uncategorized • Tags: American Indians and Literature, Law and LIterature in the Law School Curriculum, Law school, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Property, Religion, Uncategorized, Washington Irving
I want to thank Warren, Patrick, Allen and Mai-Linh for having me here at the Table.
Washington Irving's The Devil and Tom Walker has been exemplified as a an example of Irving's use of folklore in constructing narratives of context. Most writers and commentators focus on the karma-istic nature of the story, the faustian detail (devil story), or the role of greed. But the Devil and Tom Walker is a property story. Yes — its about, at its core, the capacity of property to shape relationships amongst people. A few areas of intersection emerge in a property world. We see the conflict between entitlements that are respected and those that are not. In fact, as the last assignment for the semester, I am having my students read the Devil and Tom Walker. These are some of the things I want them to see. Today I want to point out how landscapes and their surroundings in The Devil and Tom Walker are intertwined in the property world.
The beginning of the story tells us that there are two property conflicts that will shape the story. We learn that the Pirate Kidd has stashed gold in the hills amongst the trees in an inland swampy area under the watchful "guardianship" of the devil, "as [the devil] always does with buried treasure, particularly when it has been ill-gotten." We also learn that Tom Walker and his wife lived in a state of conflict over the things that might be termed their "earthly treasures." The wife hid things as they were acquired (like the eggs laid by the hen) and Tom pried about to discover her secret hoards, causing fierce conflicts over what Irving tells us should have been "common property." These conflicts left their marks on Tom's face from time to time, though no one ventured to interfere with their business.
We also get an early glimpse of the poverty in which they lived — poverty which was common amongst their peers.
They lived in a forlorn looking house, that stood alone and had an air of starvation. A few straggling savin trees, emblems of sterility, grew near it; no smoke ever curled from its chimney; no traveller stopped at its door. A miserable horse, whose ribs were as articulate as the bars of a gridiron, stalked about a field where a thin carpet of moss, scarcely covering the ragged beds of pudding stone, tantalized and balked his hunger; and sometimes he would lean his head over the fence, look piteously at the passer by, and seem to petition deliverance from this land of famine. The house and its inmates had altogether a bad name.
Their Property, it seems, began to mimic the desolate nature of their souls. Their home, like them, was forelorn. The story does not tell us that Tom or his wife had children, but their property reflecting their nature suggests they were sterile, producing no fruit. Moreover, the house was unwelcoming — there was no warmth either by fire or welcoming nature and no "traveller stopped at its door." The house became anthropomorphasized, at least as it reflected its two inhabitants, similar to the House of Usher in Poe's tales, or the House of the Seven Gables from Hawthorne.
As Tom went walking one day, through the land, he came upon an area known amongst the common people as a dim place. Tom stops for a rest amongst a great tree and uncovers an indian skull with an ax embedded within it. The place was known to be one where Indians performed incantations and made sacrifices. It was a place where the sacred and the profane met. But Tom was not one to be trifled with such stories. Here, the story tells us a couple of things. First, Tom perceives himself differently from the common people. Common people believe in the mystical nature of the place which shapes the entitlements of people to enter; but not Tom. Tom's view of property then is shaped by what we would term entitlements, rather than propriety. This is exemplified when Tom encounters the devil after kicking away the skull he has unearthed.
"Let that skull alone!" said a gruff voice….
He scowled for a moment at Tom with a pair of great red eyes.
"What are you doing in my grounds?" said the black man, with a hoarse growling voice.
"Your grounds?" said Tom, with a sneer; "no more your grounds than mine: they belong to Deacon Peabody."
In Tom's view, the Devil has no right to exclude Tom from the property. Its only Deacon Peabody, whose entitlement is legally proper — that is respected by the white community. In this end, it does not matter that Tom does not have an entitlement to the property. All that matters is that neither does the devil, and from where Tom sees the world, his entitlement is probably better anyway. Similarly, when Tom learns that the Devil is hewing trees (which represent the souls of the great men of the town), Tom asks what right did the devil have to tear down the trees. And the Devil responds: ""The right of prior claim," said the other. "This woodland belonged to me long before one of your white faced race put foot upon the soil."
There is an irony in the claim of first title that emerges in the discussion between Tom and the Devil. Tom does not respect the right of the native American's to occupy the land. He believes the entitlement is only proper with Deacon Peabody — an opinion which was consistent with the prevailing worldview as title goes. See Johnson v. M'cintosh for example. Ironically, Tom seems to accept the Devil's account when he learns that the devil is not merely native american, but rather absorbs the dark matters across all cultures. At this, the Devil has trumped Tom's view of entitlement drawing on a greater source of right, than that which Deacon Peabody claimed his right — the actual right of first occupancy.
Similarly, the question of who has the rights to the chattels on the property are shaped by how Tom and the Devil perceive the entitlement to the wooded area. The Devil tells Tom of the treasure that falls under his protection. At first, Tom is skeptical of the Devil. In fact the story tells us that Tom was a "hard-minded fellow" and did not at all fear the devil and asked for proof that what the devil said was true." As the story proceeds, we see Tom does ultimately deal with the devil (I am going to cover Tom's and his wife's encounters with the devil in part II) and takes possession of the gold. But what is important is how Tom perceives the Devil's entitlement to the gold. The Devil tells Tom that the only way to find the gold is through the Devil, who has hidden it so that none may find it. As Tom prospers with the Devil's gold, he begins to think about how he can cheat the devil out of his gold.
Once again, Tom defers to entitlements. His solution is to appeal to the what he believes can conquer the devil — zeal and devoutness. Once again, relating the property course to this work, we see the American perspective shaped by how entitlements are created.
Some Questions for Students from the Devil and Tom Walker
1. How does Tom's perception of the entitlements to the forest land shape his interactions with "Old Scratch?"
2. Does Tom's lack of respect for the entitlements shape the way he respects the things found on the land? Compare the Skull with the Trees, with the Treasure.
3. Considering the reasoning of Justice Marshall in Johnson v. M'Insosh, how should we understand entitlements to the property in the forest. Could Johnson v. M'Intosh be consistent with Devil's entitlement to the forest land?
4. How should disputes relating to various chattels be resolved in relation to the Skull, the Trees, the Treasure? Consider Pierson v. Post, Ghen v. Rich, Popov v. Hayashi, Keeble v. Hickeringill, and NAGPRA. Does it matter if the Devil's entitlement isn't legitimate?
5. How does Property shape the various relationships in the story? Tom and the Devil; Tom and his wife; Tom and Deacon Peabody; the Devil and Mr. Peabody?
6. Are there entitlements we should respect, regardless of their legal enforceability?
Are there other things that you would ask? Please post comments below.

Returning from the Oklahoma Sovereignty Symposium 5
by Warren Emerson • Roger Malvin's Burial • Tags: American Indians and Literature, Barbara Kingsolver, John Joseph, Law and LIterature in the Law School Curriculum, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Oklahoma Sovereignty Symposium, Robbie Robertson, Robert William's The American Indian in Western Legal Thought, Roger Malvin's Burial
I have been traveling allot the last few weeks. One of the places that I have been, and which I am returning is the Oklahoma Sovereignty Symposium in Oklahoma City, OK. This is my first year going and it was well worth the drive. I was blown away by the Parade of Nations, in which the tribal nations of Oklahoma entered the arena. I was captivated by the conversations and found myself wishing I had more to contribute. But on a certain level that seems to be appropriate when we are talking about Native Americans and the law doesn't it. Our narrative history (I am Choctaw) chants a song that is only heard by some, but when heard is a testament to our life, our struggles and our status as a people.
This years theme was "as long as the grass grows." How fitting a phrase for Indian law itself. As long as the grass grows beneath our feet, Indian law will continue to whisper the remnants of our past.
While I was sitting in the panels and listening to the rich dialogues that of themselves gave birth to the peoples and their stories, I began to think about what types of texts might fit in a law and literature course.
Of course Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote about Indians: we have talked about Roger Malvin's Burial and Lovewell's fight in the French and Indian War here; however, Indians in Hawthorne's tales are mostly in the background — setting for the action of the european settlers. This is in contrast to his contemporary James Fenimore Cooper who romanticized the American Indian (Last of the Mohicans remains a favorite (book and movie).
Another book that looks at the Indian as confronted with modernity, is Sundown, by John Joseph.
A modern piece of literature that struggles with identity, family, and modernity is The Bean Trees by Barbrara Kingsolver. I keep meaning to read her follow up to that book Pigs in Heaven, though perhaps this summer. Animal Dreams is also a good read.
Perhaps though the best book is Robert William's The American Indian in Western Legal Thought. William's historical and cultural sensativity make this volume a must for anyone contemplating Indian Law.
What other works by or about Native Americans should be included in a Law and Literature Course?

An attractive interface where people cannot find anything easily is useless. Dissatisfied visitors will leave the interface because of confusion which will lead to a high bounce rate. It is essential that the layout is organized in a way that people easily locate different sections. Provide links to important areas in the header as well as the footer. Place a menu in a location which is hard to miss. Arrange the different elements in an orderly fashion to give an uncluttered look to the layout. Streamlined navigation is necessary for good user experience as it ensures that people locate everything without any trouble.
The objective of a website is to provide information to users that can solve a problem for them. When people arrive on an interface, there must be indicators prompting them to take the desired step. Calls to action are instruments which help in this purpose. You must have seen these buttons on various interfaces asking you to "Buy now" or "Sign Up". Do not place a generic tab on your website. Identify the kind of action you want the target audience to take and then create a CTA accordingly. Let's say, you run a pest control business. Then suitable CTAs can be "Request A Quote", "Click To Get Rid Of Bugs", or "Schedule A Demo".
Users are spoilt for choices and you need to immediately capture their attention. The visual appeal, therefore, becomes extremely important. Most people try to cut costs by using freely available stock images. These pictures are undoubted of good quality but they do not impart a distinct look to the layout. It will be hard for visitors to visually distinguish an interface with generic photos from its competitors. Invest in creating custom pictures for your website. Another element that can put off visitors is the website content. It is essential to create unique content for your website and constantly update it. People are looking for helpful information and in case they do not find it, they will simply leave the interface for another option. Engage professional writers to compose unique material for your interface and ensure that it is updated regularly.
One of the most helpful tips to improve website design is to enable infinite scrolling on the interface. Instead of clicking a person can see all the content simply by moving down a page. This can be an effective tactic to keep people engaged with an interface and help in lowering the bounce rate. It will also be a much better approach as you do not have to worry about above the fold content. On regular pages with limited space, it becomes necessary to keep important element like the value proposition in the upper half of the page. This can lead to other key content being relegated to the bottom part. Scrolling will also help mobile users in navigating through an interface easily.
2019 seems to be the year of simple web layouts. Experts are stressing on creating neat and organized designs to give visual relief to visitors. The white space becomes an important design element in this regard. Leaving ample negative spaces will give an uncluttered look to a page. It will also help in drawing visitors attention towards elements or locations you want them to visit. Enough blank area around CTA buttons and other icons will put emphasis on them. It will also improve the readability of the content.
Smart devices have become the most popular option for surfing the web. The trend forced Google to start using mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. In today's world, it is essential to have an interface optimized for mobile gadgets. Responsive web design must be used to create websites that can be displayed easily in all kinds of devices. Failing to integrate responsive elements in the layout will only lead to a drop in traffic and loss in business.
New, as well as existing website owners, must take note of the tips to improve website design mentioned here. These suggestions will be helpful in creating an attractive interface with reach features which will improve their business prospects.


It might not seem like a big deal to walk around on your bare feet, but it can lead to dirty carpeting. The oil that your feet produce will get on the carpet and make it easier for dirt to stick to the fibers. Some socks might not do the trick, so you should prioritize thick socks that create an effective oil barrier. An even better solution is to wear slippers that provide thicker and more reliable protection. Putting either one on should only take several seconds, and washing them only takes throwing them in the hamper.
As soon as you get home, the first thing you should do is remove your shoes. Whether you do it in the garage, before you walk in the front door, or as soon as you enter the home is up to you. The most important part is to avoid contact between the carpet and your shoes. It is impossible to avoid picking up dirt when you wear shoes outside, so you should avoid trying to find another solution to shoe removal. It is ideal to keep a fresh pair of socks or a pair of slippers in all areas where you might take your shoes off.
When you and your pets sleep in your bed, you are all going to release dead skin cells. They may not seem like much trouble because you cannot see them when looking around, but they are a definite issue. It is also pet hair and sometimes even your own hair that can fall off when you are lying in bed. Shaking your bedding is crucial, but you must do it outside to keep dirt particles from going right back into the carpet.
If you have a little money to invest, you should consider getting an automatic vacuum. They are the perfect addition for when you do not have a lot of free time to enjoy, especially not on time-consuming chores. Setting one up in the morning and maintaining it when you get home is easy for its cleaning capabilities.
While you should get professional carpet cleaning every 1 to 1 ½ years, you should not underestimate the difference that you can make to your carpet's condition and cleanliness in just a few seconds.


July saw the opening of Iberostar Hotels & Resorts' first The Grand Collection hotel in the Mediterranean: the Iberostar Grand Hotel Portals Nous.
As part of its strategy to promote and position the new hotel as a top seller and guarantee its success by meeting the targets set, the company has recently appointed Geraldine Gomboshaw as its new director of sales.
Designed by renowned Dutch artist Marcel Wanders, the superior five-star hotel boasts a prime location on the Majorcan coastline and includes six luxury themed suites, four penthouse double rooms, an exclusive Skin Inc. spa, as well as a butler service under the hallmark of the British Butler Guild.
This newly-opened hotel also reflects Iberostar's commitment to outstanding gastronomy, as the facilities include the Astir Restaurant, the only eatery on the island to serve 'l Capricho meat.

I have never had original receipts with a Devlin surprise egg! This egg was made by Stuart Devlin in 1976. The egg has a gilded textured exterior and opens to reveal four gilded silver flowers enamelled in red blue yellow & green. These stand above a base of gilded leaves emerging from which is an enamelled ladybird. The ladybird is enamelled in red with black spots and white edging. The egg is hallmarked by the London Assay Office for silver, 1976 and has the sponsor's mark "SD" for Stuart Devlin and is stamped "170" being its limited edition number. It is presented in a black hinged box with a red silk and velvet interior. The words "Designed and made by Stuart Devlin London" are printed in gold on the silk lining. There is no certificate booklet but there are two receipts from Stuart Devlin's outlet both dated 24-3-76 addressed to the purchaser confirming that it is a "Limited Edition surprise egg 1976 No 170 ladybird with four flowers"

Home » Family Law » Spousal Support
Virginia Courts have the authority (Virginia Code Section 20-107.1) as part of a divorce to order a either the Husband or the Wife to pay the other spouse spousal support. These spousal support awards were, in the past, called alimony.
The spousal support award may be periodic (every month for example) or lump sum (a defined amount payable in one or more installments).
Our Courts in Virginia are given wide discretion by the legislature in setting the amount and duration of spousal support. Whether spousal support will be ordered and if so, how much depends on a number of factors including but not limited to the relative incomes of the parties.
It is important to have experienced legal representation in order to protect your rights during this phase of the case.
Richard H. Boatwright, Esquire of The Manassas Law Group PC has extensive experience in negotiating and trying complex spousal support cases.
Often the determination of spousal support can involve financial complexities such as whether a spouse will have income imputed to him or her based on being found to be unemployed or underemployed. Sometimes it is necessary to engage vocational rehabilitation experts to testify on these issues.
In some cases one of the spouses is self employed and a determination of his or her income can be more difficult. In these cases it may be necessary to engage a forensic accountant to assist the presentation of the case.
In some cases it is important to present to the Court expert testimony such as that of a CPA to educate the Court as to the tax impact of paying or receiving spousal support. Richard H. Boatwright, Esquire has, over the years, nurtured relationships with the financial experts who may be needed to effectively present your case.

The Asian Venture Philanthropy Network wrapped-up its latest pioneering conference in Singapore about a month ago. With some time to reflect, I am impressed — not just with the conference itself (which was amazing, again!), but with the new commitments to knowledge infrastructure being made in the region.
AVPN's "Getting Started in Venture Philanthropy in Asia." The guide was a featured presentation at AVPN 2014 and overviews similar themes in an earlier European Venture Philanthropy Association work. This version is accompanied by five country-specific legal frameworks for China, India, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.
The Rockefeller Foundation recently released "The Power of Impact Investing," a weighty book that highlights social investing efforts worldwide as well as in Southeast Asia specifically.
Asia Community Ventures "Mind the Gap" report, published late last year, surveys the social sector in Hong Kong and urges more knowledge-sharing and collaboration.
These contributions are valuable additions to the growing knowledge base of philanthropy in Asia. What is needed now more than ever is not only descriptive summaries of "rich-lists," but sector analyses, case studies, tools, and perhaps most importantly, practical recommendations for action. Further down the road, I look forward to seeing a diverse array of reports highlighting findings (both positive and negative!) of social returns, impacts, and lives changed, backed by data and credible analyses.
Congratulations to AVPN and its staff (new leadership as well as steadfast team members!) for the trail-blazing work they are doing. I look forward to AVPN 2015!
This post wraps up our coverage of AVPN 2014, but be on the look out for bonus interviews with conference delegates! See the rest of our coverage here.

LAS CRUCES - A Las Cruces man was arrested Tuesday and charged with the battery of a police officer and resisting arrest after he allegedly got into an altercation with an officer who saw him jaywalking.
Court documents state Brandon Valenzuela knocked down Las Cruces Police officer D'Anthony Roohr during the struggle, at one point lifting Roohr slightly off the ground and dropping him back onto the pavement. Valenzuela, 21, is listed as 5-foot-4 and 135 pounds in his jail booking sheet.
Roohr reports he was in his unit patrolling near the intersection of Missouri Avenue and Solano Drive, when he saw Valenzuela rushing in and out of traffic, nearly getting hit by a truck.

Roohr reports he signaled for Valenzuela to stop and then got out of his police cruiser to talk to him about the jaywalking. When Roohr informed Valenzuela that he was going to pat him down, Valenzuela took off running, court documents state.
After chase, court documents state, Roohr grabbed a hold of Valenzuela and brought him to the ground in an attempt to handcuff him. Valenzuela began pulling away from him and struck him in the chest, hitting his bulletproof vest. Court documents state that's when Roohr fell backward and Valenzula positioned himself on top of the officer.
Court documents state Roohr continued to grasp Valenzuela's arm during the altercation, but Valenzuela was able to lift Roohr off the ground slightly and drop him back onto the pavement, causing Roohr to hit his back on the roadside.
The two continued to fight, according to court documents, until backup arrived.
When questioned by investigators, Valenzuela allegedly said he was jaywalking because he was in a hurry, that he ran from Roohr because he had warrants out for his arrest and that he pushed the officer because his arm was hurting from being restrained.
Valenzuela has charges going back to 2017, of possession of a controlled substance, battery, criminal damage to property, non-residential burglary, and the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle.

I've been feeling a real shift recently and I'm not sure if its right, although I'm not really sure if its the right thing to question it either. It seems to be a real perception shift and one that's making everything seem more together and one, but with the status quo somewhat unusual.
I've been aware of this shift for a while now but it has hit me more rapidly in the last few weeks. Throughout this time I've been learning to accept hurt and pain as part of experience rather than rejecting it as such.
It's as though I now see the world and my reality in a way that all is one, emotions, people, experiences, that cannot exist on a purely positive state. There is less judgement over what is good or bad and more acceptance in what is, just as it is, realising deeper that at the core of everything exists pure love and creative energy.
This reality I in part realised around a year ago and now it's as if its deepening in that I can see it more in the difficult experiences and how they are one with the ultimate cause. In how it's not possible to have the good without the bad, It is the same with emotions, its so easy to label them and say 'I don't want to feel this', but in reality it just is and without one we may not have the others.
I know where I want to be and that is to be coming from a place of love and creativity in all I do, but its becoming more and more apparent that where there is love , there is creation and within this there is also pain and possible destruction but out of this comes further creation and love, it is all one.
Without judging this experience too much it appears from this perspective as though everything at the core is ultimately together as one, and that we are all co-existent and as part of the journey of life together, not to be in opposition with each other. There are no labels, all that is just is and when we are in alignment with creative energy or love then we will automatically operate at our highest purpose and highest self.
When we see ourselves as separate in any way or begin labelling people and situations we effectively detatch ourselves from this force and begin to lose recognition with it.
At times I am questioning this perception and becoming confused with it, finding myself saying, is this right or is it naïve or is it part of the new way of seeing things, a new world? But then in doing this I begin judging, labelling and detaching again so for now I have to trust in this new reality and flow with it. Perhaps all will become clearer in the newness of things or maybe it doesn't need to?
Love exists at the core of everything, of everyone. Know and trust in this and that's all you see, no matter what happens.
This video says it all. What amazing words. Good job Prince Ea.
Great article. Those shifts in perception can be quite powerful and a little scary because we don't fully know what it means for us. I've had similar shifts and they've always worked out for me, so I'm sure this will for you. Good luck!

English Measurement Units
By Büşra Baysal June 3, 2020
Measurement units are commonly used to define the weight, length, height, speed and time scales. When you go shopping for clothes and food or weigh your body mass at the gym, you Make use of meauserement units. You can use standardized English metrics even to describe how fast your car is. Therefore, it is necessary for English learners to understand how these metrics are pronounced in the target language. You are usually familiar with the most of those standard metrics as the abbreviated forms are similar in many European languages as well as Turkish. In this article, you will find how to pronounce SI Metrics Units in English. In the last section, you can check how Imperial System of Units varies from the SI Metric System.
International System of Units (SI)
The International System of Units, shortened as SI, derived from its French version of Système International (d'unités). It has the modern forms of quantity measures with seven base units:
1- A second defines time and is symbolized by ¨s¨. 2- A metre defines length with the symbol of ¨m¨. 3- A kilogram defines mass with the symbol of ¨kg¨. 4- An ampere defines the flow of electric current and has the symbol of ¨capital A¨. 5- Kelvin defines thermodynamic temperature and has the symbol of ¨capital K¨. 6- Mole defines the amount of substance and has the abbreviation of ¨mol¨. 7- Candela defines luminous intensity in a given direction with the short form ¨cd¨. There are certainly other variations of each base unit. For English learners however, the former three are the most important ones as you directly use them during your everyday practices.
International Metric Units in Standard Forms
International metric system table leads you how to define units of length, mass, capacity, area and volume. In this section, you will see how these categories put smaller and larger units in order.
Units of Length:
One kilometre is the greatest unit and one millimetre is the smallest unit of length. As greater units, 1 kilometre equals to 1000 metres while 1 hectometre equals to 100 metre-length. Other two confusing words for English students are decametre and decimetre: 1 decametre equals to 10 metres whereas 1 decimetre equals to 0.1 metre. So, smaller units go on with a centimetre and a millimetre. As you estimate, 1 centimetre equals to 0.01 metre or just 10 millimetres.
Units of Mass:
Among the standardized English metrics, gram and kilogram are very familiar units for Turks. In English, their spellings and pronunciations are almost the same as in Turkish. Considering metrics, a kilogram refers to the largest mass as opposed to a gram which equals to 0.001 kilogram. In other words, a kilogram is 10 hectograms, 100 decagrams and 1000 grams. On the contrary, one gram equals to 10 decigrams, 100 centigrams and 1000 milligrams. You can see that milligrams define the amount of tablets and medicine. Similarly, the units measuring the multiplication of grams, metres and litres are common as they are Latin terms of digits. There are also other units to describe multiplied versions of kilograms. For instance, one tonne or a metric ton is the same as 1000 kilograms in amount. Quintal metric is 100 kilograms and in maritime business and shipping, people make use of both terms.
Units of Capacity:
We use litre and its other variations for defining the capacity of liquid and fluid substances. Like in previous units, you can observe the highest capacity is a kilolitre being 1000 litres. Compared to a litre, a hectolitre and decalitre follow kilolitre as being ten times of each other. A litre equals to 10 decilitres, 100 centilitres and 1000 millitres respectively.
Units of Land Area:
The units of area as well use land measurements. Area units are generally measured in square metres and square kilometres. An area of one square metre means the surface of a plain area has two dimensions with one metre in width and one metre in length. In other words, an area of a decametre equals to 100 square metres (m2) whereas a square decametre mentions an area of 10.000 square metres. 1.000.000 square metres mean that surface area is the measure of a square kilometre. Square decimetre, centimetre and millimetre are respectively smaller units.
In addition to those units, the land area in geographical terms may have other measurement alternatives. If you want to describe that you own a house with a relatively small garden, then you can say ¨it is one acre¨. To define the area of an agricultural field or the woods, people usually say ¨the forest is 10 hectares large¨. Theoretically, a hectare equals to 10.000 m2 and one are equals to 100 m2. In that sense, a centiare is just 1 m2.
Units of Volume:
You can describe the volume occupied by a substance in a three-dimensional box or machine by the help of some units. Considering volume, a cubic kilometre is the largest form in comparison to a cubic millilitre, the smallest form. Mathematically, a cubic kilometre equals to 1.000.000.000 cubic metres. Certainly, a cubic metre equals to 1.000.000 cubic millimetres. To simplify in meaning, you can either say ¨the storage has a capacity of one cubic metre (m3) of water¨ or ¨it comprises one ton of water¨. Remember that one ton is one kilolitre in standard terms.
Imperial Units of Measurement
After a lot of calculations, you see that English measurement units are all based on international metric standards accepted all over the Europe, including Turkey, Asian countries and the majority of American countries. Besides those, you sometimes need to handle different terms like ounce, gallon or mile. These are some of the most widely used Imperial Measurement Units United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and partially United States use.
Regarding imperial metrics, people use foot, inch, yard and mile. An inch equals to 1/12 in length and is nearly 2.5 cm and a foot is 30.48 cm. long. In that metrical system, a yard is 36 inches whereas a foot is 12 inches. Mile is another alternative for a kilometre, but you should remember that a nautical mile is different. It equals to 1852 metres and internationally used in maritime issues. In aviation industry, people choose feet to define the height.
Concerning volume and capacity, pepole use gallon, barrel and hogshead widely in the United States and Britain. However one gallon in British terms equals to 4.54 litres while an American gallon is 3.58 litres, smaller in portion. By using barrel you can measure petroleum and larger amounts of alcohol beverages.
People use libre / pound and ounce for weight. One pound is equal to 16 ounces in UK terms. In the international metrics, a pound is 453.592 grams. You should also know the short forms of these two units. Pound is lb. and ounce is oz. in written contexts.
As you see, English measurement units have various categories with British, American and European distinctions. In order to comprehend where and how you can use these units more effectively, you can take the guidance of experienced teachers in English Ninjas.

Trump Won't Tap Elliott Abrams for State Department Job Due to Campaign Criticism
At the last moment, Trump changes his mind about tapping Elliott Abrams for the No. 2 State Department job.

Elliott Abrams speaks at CPAC on February 10, 2012.Gage Skidmore / Wikipedia
Changing his mind at the last moment, President Donald Trump decided not to appoint Elliott Abrams, a veteran of the Bush and Reagan administrations, to the second highest position in the State Department.

Trump: Settlement construction unhelpful to peace, Israel should act reasonably
Hundreds of thousands march against Trump in Iran, state TV reports
Trump met Abrams this week and the meeting went well, but once the president discovered that Abrams criticized him during the election, he chose to change course and keep Abrams out of his administration.
Abrams said last February that he was considering not voting at all in the 2016 election, if the choice is between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. A few months later, he said that Trump is "not fit to sit" in the same chair as former presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Still, unlike many other veteran Republican national security officials, Abrams did not join the "Never Trump" movement, did not endorse Clinton and did not sign any petitions against Trump.
This seemed enough to position Abrams as the leading candidate for deputy secretary of state, the second-highest official in the State Department. But upon learning of Abrams' past statements, Trump told his senior staff that he will not make the appointment. CNN reported Friday that both Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus tried to convince Trump to forgive Abrams for his statements, and focus on the contribution Abrams could make to his administration in terms of experience, but the president refused.
CNN reported that even Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, who is considered very close to the president, could not sway Trump once he decided to reject Abrams.


Dr. Sharon Sacks, Ph.D is the Superintendent at the California School for the Blind. Prior to her appointment she was the Director of Curriculum, Assessment, & Staff Development. Sharon was a full professor and the coordinator of the teacher preparation program in blindness & visual impairment at California State University, Los Angeles, Also, she coordinated the teacher preparation program for students with moderate to severe disabilities at San Jose State University. Sharon has published widely and presented nationally and internationally in the areas of social skills instruction, psycho-social implications of visual impairments, and transition from school to adult life. She was the President of AERBVI, and has served on numerous boards.

Home Latest Frank Predicts APC's Victory in Bayelsa Guber Poll
Frank Predicts APC's Victory in Bayelsa Guber Poll
Timi Frank
A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has predicted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would lose the forthcoming governorship election in Bayelsa State.
Frank, in a statement issued on Friday, said that the APC's candidate is better placed to win the election in view of the fact that the PDP has curiously chosen to field a 'weak candidate' against the APC's standard-bearer
David Lyon emerged as the standard-bearer of the APC in the recently conducted primary election.
He stated: "It is not my wish for the APC to win the forthcoming Bayelsa governorship election in November as I am not a member of the APC neither am I a supporter of the party, but from the look of things, the choice made by Dickson and the PDP is not inspiring. Actually, it's disappointing.
"APC will win the forthcoming governorship election in Bayelsa State seeing the weak candidate Governor Seriake Dickson and the PDP have chosen as their flag-bearer."
Frank recalled that this was the same position he took against his former party, the APC in 2015 when the former governor and now the Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, was nominated, he said he would lose the election.
He added that history is about to repeat itself albeit in PDP because it is making the same mistake that the APC made in 2015.
According to him, "The handpicked PDP's candidate will lose the forth coming governorship election in Bayelsa State. To prove my point, it could be recalled there was neither excitement nor jubilation from Bayelsans after the 'arrangee' primary that produced the PDP's candidate."
Frank stressed that Bayelsans had looked forward to a formidable candidate in the person of Timi Alaibe, but some powerful forces from the PDP's NWC and Dickson traded Alaibe for a weak candidate for selfish reasons to enable the APC take over the governorship of Bayelsa State.
He said: "The ad hoc congress already programmed him to win, Bayelsans and PDP know that there was no congress in Bayelsa as it was programmed in a way to favour him. PDP will regret its action as it will soon boomerang against them.
"I am pained to see that Bayelsans will have no choice than to vote for APC which has a better candidate. Bayelsans should hold Dickson and PDP's NWC responsible for the imminent APC's victory in the state."
Frank noted that PDP knows very well that the APC is desperate to win any of the South-south states, yet they decided to field a weak candidate, thereby giving APC the victory through the back-door, stressing that the result of the election would serve as a lesson for PDP to learn to present a stronger candidate the next time.
"Instead of PDP to prepare to win more states, they are going to lose more if they continue this way due to selfish reasons. I know that truth is bitter but I will always stand by the truth," he added.
