My wife is a Vanishing Point freak, so I'm looking forward to hearing this.
Check out Two Lane Blacktop, which is Vanishing Point on Quayludes instead of speed. Also, DON'T check out the TV movie remake of VP, which sentimentalizes the protagonist (he's rushing home because his wife's in labor or something) and reimagines the Clevon Little role as a 90s shock jock named The Voice (don't get him started on the IRS!) played by Luke Perry, who has a shitty voice.

Oh God, and the police who are out to get Kowalski are led by a black FBI agent because of course they are, it's the 90s. It's like the tea party funded a remake.
So much good stuff this episode, I have no idea when I'm going to find time to listen to it all.

I do have Possession downloaded, but I haven't watched it because I tend to do that where I download movies I think I should watch and then I don't watch them. I still have Antichrist and the original Straw Dogs just sitting here. And Valley of the Wolves Iraq, and Polyester, so on.
But I mean I don't like fridening movies, I DON'T WANT TO BE FRIDEND

Do we really have to pay those hidden hotel resort fees?
Hotels now add hidden, mandatory "resort fees" to the price of a stay.
These "resort fees" are mandatory surcharges.
Resort fees can add up to 30% onto our total hotel bill.
It covers costs such as wifi to gym access – even the use of a notary or a shoe shine service.
Most guests do not use a fraction of these services.
Yet hotels took in almost $2 billion in resort fees last year.
On average, resort fees add an extra $25.00 a night to the bill.

There is an art to catching a cab.
Do it the right way and you get a fast cab on the cheap.
Do it wrong, and you are probably going to get ripped off.
A day before 9/11/2001, the price for a gallon of gasoline in my neck of the woods was $1.16 a gallon.
Ah, the good ol' days, right?
With gas prices zooming higher and higher, it's more important than ever to drive smarter to lessen the pain of high gas prices. And since gas hardly ever goes on sale, we need to be crafty to keep its cost in line.
My family travels. A lot.

Women under-represented in senior advertising jobs, says IPA report
Study finds industry is dominated by young, white men, with only about one in 20 over 50, and about one in 10 non-white
Nicola Mendelsohn, chairman and partner of Karmarama, who is to take over as the IPA's first female president in April

Women are severely under-represented in senior management positions in the UK advertising industry, according to a report by the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising.
The IPA, which represents agencies accounting for more than 80% of the sector, found that the media, marketing and advertising industry is dominated by young, white men. Only about one in 20 of those working in the sector is over 50, and about one in 10 is from a non-white background.
Overall there was a 1.1% year-on-year increase in the total number of people employed in the sector to 18,635 in 2010.
While the report found that there is an "almost equal" split between the number of men and women employed in the industry, females accounted for just 22.4% of those judged to be in a management position at an agency. The IPA pointed out that this was, at least, up on 2009's figure of just 20%.
When it comes to age, just 5.3% of those working in the ad industry are aged 50 or over, and just 13.5% are between 41 and 49. The advertising industry is dominated by the young, with almost half aged 30 or younger and 35.7% between 31 and 40. The average age of an employee in 2010 across all agencies who are members of the IPA was 33.7, the same as in 2009.
In terms of ethnicity, nine out of 10 staff in the industry are from a white background. However the IPA said this represented a "further improvement" from 2009 when just 8.9% of employees were non-white.
"It is pleasing to see the slow but steady improvement in the diversity of employees, although we have got a way to go yet," said the IPA director general, Hamish Pringle.
Karmarama chairman and partner Nicola Mendelsohn is to take over as the IPA's first female president in April.

Erie Mayor Joe Schember will officially unveil his 2019 city budget proposal on Nov. 21.
However, members of Erie City Council and the public have already received a preview — and the fiscal picture is not pretty.
A projected $11 million deficit for 2019.
At least $2 million in additional employee-related costs, such as salaries, health care benefits and pensions.
A $4.3 million hike in the city's annual payment on its long-term debt.
And an expected $700,000 reduction in federal Community Development Block Grant dollars.
During a presentation to City Council on Wednesday morning, Schember outlined his proposals to deal with the city's budget issues in 2019 and beyond.
"I wanted to present this to them now, get them thinking about it before we formally present the budget," Schember said. "We all need to be working towards a budget that's sustainable over time."
Here are some of the components of Schember's plan to stabilize the city's budget, in 2019 and beyond. State law mandates that City Council approve a budget by Dec. 31.
Schember proposes raising the city's earned income tax from 1.18 percent of a worker's gross salary to 1.75 percent, a move that would generate $6.78 million in revenue. It means that a worker earning $26,922, or the average income of city wage earners, would pay an additional $153 annually.
Schember said he prefers an earned income tax increase over a property tax hike, for various reasons.
"I really think that a lot of our property owners in Erie are retired, on fixed incomes, and certainly in lower or mixed-income communities people are strapped for money," Schember said. "We thought it would be better, if we were going to increase a tax, that income tax was better because it will be paid by people who are working or generating income."
City Finance Director Paul Lichtenwalter's office said there are more than 48,000 wage earners in the city. The proposed 1.75 earned income tax rate equals, on average, $471 per worker each year.
According to figures compiled by Lichtenwalter and his staff, Erie's current earned income tax rate of 1.18 percent of a worker's gross salary ranks 13th out of Pennsylvania's 15 third-class cities.
Only Lancaster, at 1.1 percent, and Bethlehem, at 1 percent, are lower.
Reading has the highest earned income tax, at 3.6 percent. Scranton is second at 3.4 percent; Hazleton's is 2.35 percent, and Allentown's is 1.97 percent.
Erie's earned income tax rate was last increased in 2006.
Schember proposes increasing city customers' sewer fees from an average of $280 per year to $312.60 per year, an increase of $32.60 annually, and yearly garbage fees from an average of $224 to $248, or $24 more annually.
Those rates were last increased in 2014.
The sewer-rate increase would generate $1 million in revenue, city officials said; the garbage-rate increase would mean an additional $1.1 million for city coffers.
Schember also wants the city to explore gradual increases in those rates, over time, so that customers are not "shocked" by sudden increases.
City officials claim that Erie's sewer and refuse rates are lower than those of several other municipalities in the county including North East borough and Lawrence Park, Millcreek, Harborcreek, Fairview and Girard townships.
While it's not part of Schember's 2019 budget plan, he told City Council members on Thursday to seriously consider working on ways to recoup outstanding parking fines of more than $3.2 million dating to 2003.
Of that amount, city officials said, about $1.5 million in overdue fines are more than five years old. Additionally, $2 million of the total involves tickets with late fees attached and $270,000 is due from drivers from outside Pennsylvania.
Schember suggested that council consider hiring a firm that specializes in municipal collections to go after that revenue. The city could also forgive late fees to some ticketed motorists if they pay the face amount of their tickets during an amnesty period, Schember said.
"I know council has been pushing for a resolution to this," Councilman Bob Merski said. "Cleaning this up off the books would be a smart move."
The city plans to charge a new $100 business licensing fee, to be paid annually by businesses that operate within city limits. The fee is expected to generate $200,000 a year. Similar "business privilege" taxes are charged in Allentown, Harrisburg, Reading, Williamsport, York and several other Pennsylvania cities.
Increasing the city's amusement tax from 3 percent to 5 percent would generate $160,000. The tax is paid by patrons on tickets to any event in the city for which the admission price is $5 or more.
Further, increasing fees paid by utility companies, contractors and others who cut into public streets or sidewalks for various repair projects would bring in $100,000 annually.
Schember said the city — which still has more than $11 million in reserve funds — will also continue to pursue payment in lieu of taxes agreements with nonprofits and to reduce deficits by closely watching spending, including overtime, and leaving open positions unfilled when employees retire or leave for other jobs.
"I'm not going to blame anyone for where we are," said Schember, who plans to attend City Council's budget deliberations. "I knew we were going to be in the hole (by) millions of dollars going into the 2019 budget. It's a serious situation, but the city's not hanging by a thread. We're not in danger of going bankrupt or being taken over by the state or anything like that.
"We wanted to give council a lot of information before presenting it formally," Schember said. "We all need to focus on doing what's best for the city to right this and move forward in a positive way."

You've been through some things that are difficult, or even abusive. Maybe you're carrying a heavy secret -- and you're afraid to let people in because you're afraid of what they may say or think. You're wondering if the pain and heartache are ever going to come to an end.
There is a stigma that latches to trauma -- and it says we should be quiet and keep it in. This false belief keeps many women feeling stuck, or like they have to wear a mask, when what really may help is the freedom to talk about these difficult experiences in a place where judgement isn't part of the conversation.

Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, Literature, Minneapolis, Crime, 2020 Fall, Read MN 2020, Read MN Fiction, Read MN mystery
The place is Minneapolis, the year is 1903, and Michael Masterson has fallen in love, or so he claims, with Addie Strongwood, a beautiful working-class girl with an interesting past and a mind of her own. But their promising relationship quickly begins to disintegrate before reaching a violent conclusion. Amid allegations of seduction, rape, and blackmail, Michael is shot dead and Addie goes on trial for first-degree murder. As the case unfolds in a welter of conflicting evidence and surprise discoveries, a jury must decide whether Addie acted in self-defense or killed her one-time lover with the coldest of calculation.
Reconstructing the case through trial testimony, newspaper stories, the journal of Addie's flamboyant defense attorney, and her own first-person account as serialized in the Minneapolis Tribune, Larry Millett builds a suspenseful tale of love, money, betrayal, and death. Sherlock Holmes and Shadwell Rafferty, long known to readers from Millett's previous mysteries, play crucial roles in the unraveling of the case, which also offers a glimpse into the sharply divided worlds of the rich and the poor at the dawn of the twentieth century.

Strongmen who have died too young
13. October 2020 23. May 2020 by Paul Leonard
The sport of Strongman was officially created in 1977 when Transworld International created and produced the first World Strongest Man that was aired on CBS Television. That competition led to the formation of Strongman organizations and contests in countries around the globe. Today we have professional strongmen who compete in a circuit of contests on most every continent, with television coverage, Internet streaming, and a host of social media content to constantly entertain and awe the strength sports fans of the 21st century.
Strongman contests have evolved from eccentric- think the cheese hold event, and dangerous – Franco Columbo breaking his leg running with a refrigerator, to grueling and unbelievably heavy. Today's strongmen are highly specialized athletes who are not former or current powerlifters who did little to no cardio based training for decades and then thrust themselves into Strongman contests when they took off in the late 1990s around the world.
Strongmen who have died during their competitive careers:
OD Wilson, came in 2nd at the 1990 WSM in a controversial decision, but died of a heart attack while at a radio station for a promotion in October 1991. OD was 37 years old, 6 feet 6" tall, 400lbs and had 42" quadriceps. Prior to entering strongman contests, OD had been in the U.S. Military for over ten years, capturing the prestigious U.S. Military Powerlifting Championship, the U.S. Senior National Championship, as well as the IPF World Championship title in 1988. In 1989, OD broke Bill Kazmaier's ten year old all time Powerlifting total record by lifting 2430 lbs, with a 1002 lb squat, a 566 lb bench press, and an 876 lb deadlift. OD worked as a bodyguard for such celebrities as Michael and Janet Jackson as well as Heavy weight boxer Ray Mercer. Bill Kazmaier described that when he looked into OD eyes he saw a wild animal.
Jon Pall Sigmarsson, of Reykjavik, Iceland died in 1993 while deadlift training in his gym at the age of 33. Jon Pall suffered an aortic rupture while straining. Jon Pall was a triple threat as a strength athlete, having won WSM four times, he was a World Powerlifting Champion in the IPF, and in 1988 he won the bodybuilding title of Mr. Iceland. A coroner's report cited anabolic steroids as having played a role in Sigmarsson's untimely demise.
Sigmarsson was one of the most charismatic showmen to compete on strength's biggest stage and at one time was under contract to Joe Weider. A fierce competitor who had epic rivalries with Bill Kazmaier and Geoff Capes.
Doyle Kenady, died at the age of 50 in Salem, Oregon from a heart attack. Doyle has suffered a heart attack in 1988 that forced him to retire from Powerlifting competition. In 1987 Doyle set the world record in the deadlift with a lift of 903 at the Hawaiian International Competition. Doyle had been a world champion powerlifter as well as a WSM competitor at the 1983 contest, finishing in 7th place. Dave Draper's message board has a post which states that Doyle would eat up to 5 lbs of beef per day and drink 2 gallons of whole milk daily as well. Doyle has best official lifts of a 913 lb squat, a 561 lb bench press, and a 903lb deadlift. All of Doyle's best lifts were done at World or National level meets.
Johnny Perry, Nebulon North Carolina was ranked the fourth best Strongman in the world at the time of his death in November 2002. A March 2003 coroner's report cited large amounts of cocaine, GHB, and Oxycodone in Perry's body at the time of his death – in addition to an enlarged heart. The report by the toxicologist did not cite steroids or any PEDs as being present at the time of Johnny's demise. He was 29 at the time of his death.
Jesse Marunde of Sequim, Washington died following a workout at his gym in July of 2007, while he was in hard training for the World Strongest Man Contest in September of that year. Jesse was only 27 years of age and died of a genetically enlarged heart. Jesse had placed 2nd at the 2005 WSM Contest to Marius Pudzianowski, the first man to win 5 WSM titles.
Mike Jenkins died on Thanksgiving morning 2013, due to an enlarged heart caused by steroid abuse as well as the stimulants DMAA and caffeine which forced his weakened heart into dysrhythmia. Mike had won the Arnold Classic in 2012 and was 30 years old at the time of his death.

Today 21/11/20 we lost a good strongman
Aaron "The Rage" Page. He will be sadly missed in world of strongman.

Dominic Filiou (February 27, 1977 – January 2, 2019) was a Canadian strongman. Filiou was best known for competing in the 2005, 2006, and 2007 World's Strongest Man competitions. In 2005 he finished third in the finals, a career best. In 2006 and 2007 he was eliminated during the qualifying heats. He was the 2007 winner of Canada's Strongest Man making him the first man to defeat Hugo Girard on Canadian soil (Girard was still recovering from a knee operation 14 months prior to the competition). He died of a heart attack on 2 January 2019. (taken from Wiki)


Castell Henllys is an iron age fort just up the road from Poppit Sands. If you have children and or are interested in that sort of thing then is another excellent day out. Again its been a few years since we have beenand I'm sure they have even more stuff there now, but the kids loved running in an out of the settlement building, they found Santa in one of them (Xmas holidays).
They put on various events thru the year and I thought I would just mention they have something called 'Farmers and FIghting' scheduled for a number of days in early April. Again all part of Cardigan advertising and to make the most of Moraw.


Mrs Bettie Carrington Hook, 91 years old, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs Mary Lyle, Dallas, Texas, Sept 7, leaving one daughter, two granddaughters, two greatgranddaughters in Dallas, one grandson of Wink, Texas, a brother and numerous kin. Her death leaves W.T. Carrington the only surviving member of the old Judge William Carrington family, one of the many to flourish before the Civil War. Mrs. Hook was left alone with four small children in 1877 in the midst of the great depression and with little help from direct surroundings she set to work in Fulton as a seamstress to support and educate her children which she did quite well.
Elizabeth was divorced in 1877..

There is no tried and true way to earn admission into a medical school. Ultimately, a student's admission prospects depends on several determining factors. Many things can influence your odds, including GPA, MCAT scores, and medical experience.
For most medical schools, an undergraduate major does not matter in the grand scheme of things, as long as you fulfill certain pre-requisite courses. Typically, medical schools will require good-to-great grades in a number of science and math courses, including biology, chemistry, physics, calculus.
Most medical schools look for students who have spent time volunteering or working in medical-related activities. Consider volunteering at a clinic, hospital or doctor's office or shadowing a physician during your time at school. Most pre-med colleges offer summer internships or programs to get involved and build your transcript.

New York is full of special finds—the perfect cup of coffee, vintage clothing steal, or niche bookstore is often tucked into some unsuspecting nook in the city. One of my favorite examples is The Tank. Located right down the street from some of the biggest Broadway sensations, The Tank is home to two small theaters that showcase a mind-bending assortment of live performance and multimedia work from emerging artists, and nurtures a vibrant, creative community. It's become one of my favorite places to see dance, and with the average ticket price at $7, it's one of the most affordable destinations in midtown.

The Tank, on 45th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues, feels a lot like Brooklyn once you get inside. Its houses remind me of the many music venues dotting our outer borough, crossing barbès's tiny, intimate space with the old Northsix's dark open one. Like those stages, live musicians are often on the bill, even for events listed as theater, dance, or puppetry (Puppet Playlist, a series partnering puppeteers and musicians, has become one of the most popular of The Tank's repeating events). The vibe is arty and relaxed, not pretentious. Because there is usually more than one show per night, you may end up clustered in the lobby pre-performance, but you can buy a beer while you wait. Proceeds from the bar (and the ticket sales) are split evenly between the artists and the house.
Formed in April 2003 by nine recent college graduates committed to providing a platform for young artists in the heart of the city, The Tank was originally housed on 42nd Street. Each of the founding members curated a different discipline, and the organization was run by volunteers. Since then, The Tank has moved around a bit, including a stint in Tribeca, but now is back in the Theater District, hosting about 350 events per year, with two curators per discipline, all of whom are under the age of 30.
These young curators are given total creative freedom, while co-founder and current President Justin Krebs keeps The Tank's vision alive by offering support and endless enthusiasm. In turn, the artists invited to present work are given minimal direction from the curators, though shows featuring multiple artists often revolve around a theme.
Former dance curator Tatyana Tenenbaum, who studied composition at Oberlin College, started The Raw and The Cooked, an improvisation series in which dancers and other artists worked from open scores (the series concluded in December). Jeso O'Neil, a current dance curator, organizes a works-in-progress event called p.art.ies, in which she encourages artists to focus on the material rather than staging choices. She reinforces this premise by seating the audience onstage.
Significantly, every artist presenting work at The Tank is invited by a curator. This system acts as a quality check for audiences, but also has important benefits for the artists. They are never charged a fee to rent the space, and because of the sales-splitting model, even shows with low attendance will provide a small sum for the performers. The success of The Tank's more popular programs keeps this practice sustainable. Additionally, the curating system reinforces relationships between the theater and the artists. Many of the choreographers chosen for the New Works at The Tank series have previously appeared in Tennenbaum's or O'Neil's series.
Much of the programming at The Tank focuses on collaborative, or at least multi-disciplinary, work. Previous events have included a movement piece in which performers imitated the paint in Jackson Pollock's work, dancetheater performances blending text and movement, dance film screenings, and of course, collaborations between choreographers and musicians. Two of the most popular recurring programs, Puppet Playlist and the Bent Festival (a showcase for electronic music and art), embrace this genre-bending aesthetic. For the 2010 season, dance offerings will include premieres from theater artist Chris Masullo, a collaboration between choreographer Lydia Bell and visual artist Lindsay Benedict, and Karl Cronin—an artist whose work "blends somatic practice with scientific research for social change."
Alexandra Albrecht, new to The Tank in 2010, has initiated a new dance series for this spring. Spurred by the short life of most contemporary dance works, which are often shown at a handful of performances and then permanently discarded, she is inviting choreographers to show encores of work originally presented in other venues. Lizzie Karr and Ben Asriel, both recent graduates of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, will inaugurate the series.
In my conversations with past and present curators, I was impressed by their passion and dedication to the field. Each was excited by the opportunity to develop the dance community in her own way, engaging performers and audiences. In a crowded landscape where young people struggle to be seen, the empowering presence of The Tank is an alternative to burnout. Further, while these young curators had all invited friends and colleagues whose work they felt deserved more attention, they were at least as excited to discover unfamiliar artists, often making intuitive programming decisions based on the uniqueness of a proposal or an artist's confident vision.
At press time, not all performance dates for the upcoming season had been set. Visit www.thetanknyc.org for listings and updates.

Definition: The Pause/Proceed with Caution Strategy is well understood by the name itself, is a stability strategy followed when an organization wait and look at the market conditions before launching the full-fledged grand strategy. Also, the firm that has intensely followed the expansion strategy would wait till the time the new strategies seeps down the organizational levels and look at the changes in the organizational structure before taking the next step.
Like the Profit Strategy, the Pause/Proceed with Caution strategy is also a temporary strategy followed by the firms. But however, these both differ significantly; the profit strategy focuses on sustaining profitability until the temporary difficulties or the conditions become more hospitable. Whereas the Pause/Proceed with caution strategy is a deliberate action taken by the firm to postpone the strategic action till the best opportunity knocks at the door. Thus, waiting for the right strategy for the right time.
The pause/proceed with caution strategy is often followed by the manufacturing companies who study the market conditions thoroughly and then launch their new products into the market. It is more prevalent in the army attacks; wherein the reconnaissance party moves ahead to examine the situation before the troops, who comes in full strength to ultimately attack the enemies.


There are many reasons why an international client may need advice from a Scottish property lawyer.
Whatever the reason, as well as needing to understand the property process, we understand that there is a lot to think about, particularly in relation to tax and succession.
It is important that a non UK resident who is considering buying, selling or transferring a residential property in Scotland consults a property lawyer who is experienced in advising international clients. Buying a property in an overseas country can be complex and the different taxes which may impact and the different options as to how the property can be owned in Scotland can sometimes make choosing the property itself seem like the easy part!
If you are selling or transferring a property you own already, there are also potential tax implications and there is an obligation to report the sale or transfer for capital gains tax purposes to the UK tax authorities within quite a tight timescale. It is therefore essential that you have access to expert advice when entering into any property transaction.
At Morton Fraser, we have considerable expertise in dealing with international property purchases, sales and property transfers. We understand all of the issues which arise. We will provide you with prompt, clear and straightforward advice which is tailored to your particular circumstances.
If you are based abroad and aren't therefore able to meet with us in person, we can consult with you via Skype or Facetime at a local time convenient to you.
Our team of experts will guide you through every step of the Scottish process in a clear and jargon-free way. You will also have access to our team of tax specialists who will be able to outline how Scottish and UK taxes might impact at the time of the purchase, during your period of ownership and on the sale or transfer of the property.
Our experienced team has acted for clients based all over the globe. Some are ex-pats who have chosen to relocate from Scotland while many have never lived in Scotland before. We understand that for many clients, this is a new process and before committing to buying or selling their property, there is a need to understand the wider implications to include tax and succession and, in the case of a purchase, advice may be needed on the best ownership structure.
Our team of specialists will discuss these issues with you and ensure you understand what taxes will apply at the time of the purchase, on an ongoing basis, on the sale of the property and even on death. We will help you decide how you should structure the purchase to help you plan ahead.
If there is any tax reporting to be carried out (for example to report the income you receive on the rental of a property), we can assist you with this so you don't need to look elsewhere.
By choosing Morton Fraser, you will also have easy access to our specialists in other teams who are experienced in advising international clients. Our succession planning lawyers can help you with preparing a Scottish Will and Power of Attorney and will liaise with your advisers in your home country to ensure you get the best advice.

The Schwanenwik Bridge with its candelabra and wrought-iron railing is located on Hamburg's Außenalster. A special place especially for lovers...
Erected: 1874-76
Location Uhlenhorst, near Literaturhaus
Special features: Hung with countless love padlocks
If the lock is closed, the key finally seals the love, according to the ritual. The key rusts from that point on down in the water below, out of reach; the lock remains forever connected to the balustrade, inseparable. And if the key flies in a high arc from the bridge, some proclaim the oath: per sempre, forever.
It all started in Italy, at least it is supposed, and nobody knows exactly who began hanging the padlocks from bridge balustrades and where. Perhaps it really was soldiers who fixed their padlocks to the Ponte Vecchio at the end of their training. A short time later it is known that couples hung locks on the third street lamp on the north side of the 2000-year-old Ponte Milvio, until the lamppost finally collapsed under the weight of so much love.
Today, the love locks hang from bridges around the world, in Kiev and Copenhagen, Tel Aviv and Tokyo. And in Hamburg, a Facebook group was established declaring the Schwanenwikbrücke bridge to be the official love lock bridge.
The Schwanenwikbrücke bridge with its candelabra and wrought iron railings is located on the Alster lake; under the pillars spills the Wandse which flows here into the Alster as the longest tributary. During the Second World War, the two promenade passages were quickly barricaded with steel doors to make air-raid shelters, and the passages were only opened up again on the hundredth anniversary. More than a hundred locks now hang from the bridge railings, stained or rusted, engraved and inscribed with names, anniversaries, short messages; each lock is a story. On one of these was engraved: Judith and Fabian.
Judith Wahrenburg and Fabian Wienholt met on the "MS Europa"; she worked as a physiotherapist on the cruise ship, he as a butler. The voyage passed through the Caribbean, then on to South America, and on one shore leave she spoke to him. He was sitting in a bar in Havana, smoking a Cuban cigar, she wanted to photograph him; they have been together for a year now. Since November they have had a long distance relationship: He continues to travel the world on the "MS Europa", while she is back in Hamburg and time together is precious. It is certain that a shared future will be on land. And as a symbolic act, Judith Wahrenburg and Fabian Wienholt hung a lock on the Schwanenwikbrücke bridge. Just in case.

Alabama first-grader sexually assaulted at school, lawsuit claims
"Schools have a responsibility to protect its students and to immediately inform parents when serious issues arise. That did not happen here, so we are proud to represent this family." Attorney Eric Artrip

A group of first-grade girls sexually assaulted a first-grade female classmate on the playground and in the restroom at an elementary school in Hoover, Ala., according to a federal lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges the assaults occurred during the 2017-18 school year at Trace Crossings Elementary School in Hoover City Schools, a suburban school district south of Birmingham. The perpetrators, referred to as the "Harassing Girls" in the lawsuit, are not named.
The Harassing Girls, the lawsuit claims, assaulted their classmate by "holding her while they pulled her pants and underwear down" and groped her. Additionally, according to the lawsuit, the perpetrators "took her into the girls' restroom and insisted that she wear a toddler diaper…instead of underwear."
The then-6-year-old girl, identified as Jane Doe, continues to suffer "physical injury, severe emotional distress, anguish, embarrassment, humiliation, anxiety, frustration, stress, trauma and concern," according to the lawsuit. She is now being homeschooled.
Neither Jane Doe's attorney Teri Mastando nor Hoover City Schools immediately returned a request for comment.
The suit alleges the sexual abuse continued after school officials knew about the similar assault of another classmate.
The lawsuit claims that after multiple assaults had taken place, one of the perpetrators, identified as Jane Smith, told the other Harassing Girls to stop. The Harassing Girls then assaulted Jane Smith, according to the lawsuit. Jane Smith told her parents she was sexually assaulted by the Harassing Girls, and Jane Smith's parents told school personnel about the assaults, according to the suit.
After the principal learned of the assaults on Jane Smith, the suit claims, he made the Harassing Girls run laps as punishment. Jane Smith's parents withdrew her from Trace Crossings in January 2018, according to the lawsuit.
Jane Doe began to show signs something was wrong in February 2018, according to the lawsuit. "She became recalcitrant and intractable," the lawsuit claims. One of her parents, identified as Mary Doe, quit her job in order to spend more time with Jane Doe, according to the lawsuit.
On Feb. 26, 2018, Jane Doe's parents, Mary and Martha Doe, sent an email to Principal Quincy Collins "expressing concerns" about Jane Doe's teacher. The next day, according to the lawsuit, Jane Doe's parents were notified of "an assault against Jane Doe at Trace Crossings Elementary School."
The lawsuit, initially filed in February and amended in August, claims school employees failed to protect the girl after learning about the assaults and did not take corrective action against school employees. Alleging violations of Title IX, equal protection and due process, plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
Hoover Board attorney Carl Johnson filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit Aug. 23, alleging plaintiffs failed to establish a Title IX violation. Hoover claimed Jane Doe was not subject to "gender-based" harassment. The motion also claims school employees had no way to know about the "alleged vaginal contact."
Hoover contends the lawsuit "amounts to a claim of simple negligence" and is not actionable due to school employees being protected under sovereign immunity.
The suit names several defendants, including first-grade teacher Michelle Kaiser, Principal Quincy Collins, then-Assistant Principal Amanda Stone, Counselor Terri Coleman and Superintendent Kathy Murphy. Also named as defendants are the Hoover City Board of Education, Trace Crossings aide Martha Harbuck and speech pathologist Heather Miller.
All defendants named in the lawsuit are being sued in their individual and official capacities, except the school board, which is being sued in its official capacity.
The lawsuit does not give exact dates of the alleged multiple sexual assaults. Jane Doe moved to Hoover from Huntsville in October 2017, when she enrolled in Trace Crossings Elementary school.
After learning of Jane Doe's sexual assault from school employees on Feb. 27, 2018, her parents kept her out of school through Mar. 6, 2018, according to the suit. Jane Doe's absences were "unexcused" and an official notice about absences was sent from the school, the suit claims.
On Mar. 5, 2018, a safety plan was developed by Principal Collins and Superintendent Murphy that included moving Jane Doe into a different classroom and having an aide supervise her during lunch, recess, assemblies and field trips, according to the lawsuit.
Collins told Jane Doe's parents the investigation was complete on Mar. 9, 2018, and the safety plan would be put in place, but the suit contends Jane Doe was never moved to a different class.
On Mar. 23, 2018, a classmate cut Jane Doe's hair, and on Apr. 2, she was pushed on the playground, according to the suit. On May 22, 2018, the lawsuit claims, Jane Doe was bruised after being bitten on the face and lip by a classmate during school hours. The suit alleges school officials did not notify Doe's parents of the incident.
Jane Doe's parents withdrew her from Trace Crossings on Jun. 1, 2018, and she is now being homeschooled.
All but two of the defendants are still affiliated with Hoover City Schools. Assistant Principal Amanda Stone moved out of Trace Crossings in December and worked in student services until her Sept. 1 retirement. Teacher Michelle Kaiser is no longer a teacher at Trace Crossings.
The official student incident report for the 2017-18 school year does not show any instances of assault or sexual assault at Trace Crossings.
In an email to AL.com on Sept. 17, Hoover City Schools spokesperson Jason Gaston wrote, "We cannot comment on pending litigation nor student discipline matters."
U.S. District Judge David Proctor set an Oct. 3 deadline for attorneys for Jane Doe to respond to the motion to dismiss.
