The lieutenant dismounted before a shop in the Rue des Lombards, at the sign of the Pilon d'Or. A man of good appearance, wearing a white apron, and stroking his gray mustache with a large hand, uttered a cry of joy on perceiving the pied horse. "Monsieur le chevalier," said he, "ah, is that you?"
"Bon jour, Planchet," replied D'Artagnan, stooping to enter the shop.
"Quick, somebody," cried Planchet, "to look after Monsieur d'Artagnan's horse, -- somebody to get ready his room, -- somebody to prepare his supper."
"Thanks, Planchet. Good-day, my children!" said D'Artagnan to the eager boys.
"Allow me to send off this coffee, this treacle, and these raisins," said Planchet; "they are for the store-room of monsieur le surintendant."
"Send them off, send them off!"
"That is only the affair of a moment, then we shall sup."
"Arrange it that we may sup alone; I want to speak to you."
Planchet looked at his old master in a significant manner.
"Oh, don't be uneasy, it is nothing unpleasant," said D'Artagnan .
"So much the better -- so much the better!" And Planchet breathed freely again, whilst D'Artagnan seated himself quietly down in the shop, upon a bale of corks, and made a survey of the premises. The shop was well stocked; there was a mingled perfume of ginger, cinnamon, and ground pepper, which made D'Artagnan sneeze. The shop-boy, proud of being in company with so renowned a warrior, of a lieutenant of musketeers, who approached the person of the king, began to work with an enthusiasm which was something like delirium, and to serve the customers with a disdainful haste that was noticed by several.
Planchet put away his money, and made up his accounts, amidst civilities addressed to his former master. Planchet had with his equals the short speech and the haughty familiarity of the rich shopkeeper who serves everybody and waits for nobody. D'Artagnan observed this habit with a pleasure which we shall analyze presently. He saw night come on by degrees, and at length Planchet conducted him to a chamber on the first story, where, amidst bales and chests, a table very nicely set out awaited the two guests.
D'Artagnan took advantage of a moment's pause to examine the countenance of Planchet, whom he had not seen for a year. The shrewd Planchet had acquired a slight protuberance in front, but his countenance was not puffed. His keen eye still played with facility in its deep-sunk orbit; and fat, which levels all the characteristic saliences of the human face, had not yet touched either his high cheek-bones, the sign of cunning and cupidity, or his pointed chin, the sign of acuteness and perseverance. Planchet reigned with as much majesty in his dining-room as in his shop. He set before his master a frugal, but perfectly Parisian repast: roast meat, cooked at the baker's, with vegetables, salad, and a dessert borrowed from the shop itself. D'Artagnan was pleased that the grocer had drawn from behind the fagots a bottle of that Anjou wine which during all his life had been D'Artagnan's favorite wine.
"Formerly, monsieur," said Planchet, with a smile full of bonhomie, "it was I who drank your wine; now you do me the honor to drink mine."
"And, thank God, friend Planchet, I shall drink it for a long time to come, I hope; for at present I am free."
"Free? You have leave of absence, monsieur?"
"You are leaving the service?" said Planchet, stupefied.
"And the king?" cried Planchet, who could not suppose it possible that the king could do without the services of such a man as D'Artagnan.
"The king will try his fortune elsewhere. But we have supped well, you are disposed to enjoy yourself; you invite me to confide in you. Open your ears, then."
"They are open." And Planchet, with a laugh more frank than cunning, opened a bottle of white wine.
"Leave me my reason, at least."
"Oh, as to you losing your head -- you, monsieur!"
"Now my head is my own, and I mean to take better care of it than ever. In the first place we shall talk business. How fares our money-box?"
"Wonderfully well, monsieur. The twenty thousand livres I had of you are still employed in my trade, in which they bring me nine per cent. I give you seven, so I gain two by you."
"And you are still satisfied?"
"Delighted. Have you brought me any more?"
"Better than that. But do you want any?"
"Oh! not at all. Every one is willing to trust me now. I am extending my business."
"I play the banker a little. I buy goods of my needy brethren; I lend money to those who are not ready for their payments."
"Oh! monsieur, in the course of the last week I have had two meetings on the boulevards, on account of the word you have just pronounced."
"You shall see: it concerned a loan. The borrower gives me in pledge some raw sugars, on condition that I should sell if repayment were not made within a fixed period. I lend a thousand livres. He does not pay me and I sell the sugars for thirteen hundred livres. He learns this and claims a hundred crowns. Ma foi! I refused, pretending that I could not sell them for more than nine hundred livres. He accused me of usury. I begged him to repeat that word to me behind the boulevards. He was an old guard, and he came: and I passed your sword through his left thigh."
"Tu dieu! what a pretty sort of banker you make!" said D'Artagnan.
"For above thirteen per cent. I fight," replied Planchet; "that is my character."
"Take only twelve," said D'Artagnan, "and call the rest premium and brokerage."
"You are right, monsieur; but to your business."
"Ah! Planchet, it is very long and very hard to speak."
D'Artagnan twisted his mustache like a man embarrassed with the confidence he is about to make and mistrustful of his confidant.
"Is it an investment?" asked Planchet.
"A capital profit, -- four hundred per cent., Planchet."
Planchet gave such a blow with his fist upon the table, that the bottles bounded as if they had been frightened.
"Good heavens! is that possible?"
"I think it will be more," replied D'Artagnan coolly; "but I like to lay it at the lowest!"
"The devil!" said Planchet, drawing nearer. "Why monsieur, that is magnificent! Can one put much money in it?"
"Twenty thousand livres each, Planchet."
"Why, that is all you have, monsieur. For how long a time?"
"And that will give us ---- "
"Fifty thousand livres each, profit."
"It is monstrous! It is worth while to fight for such interest as that!"
"In fact, I believe it will be necessary to fight not a little," said D'Artagnan, with the same tranquillity; "but this time there are two of us, Planchet, and I shall take all the blows to myself."
"Oh! monsieur, I will not allow that."
"Planchet, you cannot be concerned in it; you would be obliged to leave your business and your family."
"The affair is not in Paris, then?"
"A speculative country, that is true," said Planchet, -- "a country that I know well. What sort of an affair, monsieur, without too much curiosity?"
"Planchet, it is a restoration."
"Yes, of monuments; we shall restore Whitehall."
"That is important. And in a month, you think?"
"That concerns you, monsieur, and when once you are engaged ---- "
"Yes, that concerns me. I know what I am about; nevertheless, I will freely consult with you."
"You do me great honor; but I know very little about architecture."
"Planchet, you are wrong; you are an excellent architect, quite as good as I am, for the case in question."
"Thanks, monsieur. But your old friends of the musketeers?"
"I have been, I confess, tempted to speak of the thing to those gentlemen, but they are all absent from their houses. It is vexatious, for I know none more bold or more able."
"Ah! then it appears there will be an opposition, and the enterprise will be disputed?"
"I burn to know the details, monsieur."
"Here they are, Planchet -- close all the doors tight."
"Yes, monsieur." And Planchet double-locked them.
"That is well; now draw near." Planchet obeyed.
"And open the window, because the noise of the passers-by and the carts will deafen all who might hear us." Planchet opened the window as desired, and the gust of tumult which filled the chamber with cries, wheels, barkings, and steps deafened D'Artagnan himself, as he had wished. He then swallowed a glass of white wine and began in these terms: "Planchet, I have an idea."
"Ah! monsieur, I recognize you so well in that!" replied Planchet, panting with emotion.


The Fuel Stop NYC recently opened its doors on Central Park South in New York City. The concept behind this fast-track rejuvenation center was derived by Owner/ Founder Mila Joura, whose expertise in nutrition and the study of preventive anti-aging methods for mind and body provides a unique circuit of procedures that are designed for consumers on go that are effective, not time consuming and won't brake the bank.
Mila's experience as a nutritionist and a busy mother of 2 led to her quest for natural, non-invasive treatments that are scientifically based and can be done in a short period of time. The procedures can be done individually or as part of a circuit.
Endurance, Energy, and Body Contour are the three integrated cornerstones behind The Fuel Stop.
The Endurance Center is built around a high- tech whole body cry-chamber machine, first of it's kind from a German manufacturer. The theory is that short exposures (2-3) min to extreme cold (-200 degrees Fahrenheit) is safe and effective in building endurance, stamina, and building up the immune system.
The 10 minute nitrogen facial using cryo technology immediately tightens the skin and gives skin a refreshed glow.
The Fuel Stop Energy Lounge is a place where "fuelstoppers" can pause and refuel with proprietary brain enhancement cocktails and energy bars.
The Fuel Stop Contour Center provides treatments for the face and body that are intense, yet non-invasive to remove fat and cellulite. Results are cumulative for weight loss and a part of a healthy nutrition/workout plan. Using traditional Columbian methods of deep manual massage to move fat deposits around in dedicated body parts, where weight loss is difficult to achieve through diet and exercise.
Initially I was a little bit scared of being exposed to such cold temperatures, but hearing about the health and beauty benefits I decided to give it a try. With the assistance of Mila's friendly and knowledgable team, and beats by Rihanna, Oh yeah, dancing, in protective gear, is highly encouraged to pass the time in the chamber. Surprisingly the 2 minutes went by rather quickly and for folks who are claustrophobic this machine has a door that can be pushed to open in the case that the cold is too much to bear. I think I will try 3 minutes next time! I felt much more energized after the session.
Packages are available to customize the fast-track treatments.

Adventurous Feet: SEAIR now flies to Laoag!
Southeast Asian Airlines, Inc. (SEAIR) has announced its newest destination, Laoag, started flying last April 4, 2013. Flights will originate from the Manila Domestic Airport or Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 4.
Laoag is also the best jump-off point to some of the most breath-taking sights and destinations in the north such as Kabigan Falls and Blue Lagoon Cove in Pagudpud; the windmills in Bangui; Paoay Lake National Park, UNESCO World Heritage Paoay Church, and the Malacañang of the North or Balay ti Amianan (former President Marcos's official residence in Ilocos Norte) in Paoay; Cape Bojeador in Burgos; and the Sand Dunes of La Paz.
Kapurpurawan rock formation is my favorite spot in Pagudpud! This is a must when you're in Ilocos! Visit Ilocos now via SEAIR!
SEAIR will offer daily Manila-Laoag flights scheduled at 1:00 p.m. and Laoag-Manila flights at 3:00 p.m. It uses new A319 and A320 aircraft, which can accommodate up to 180 passengers.
SEAIR is offering introductory fares to Laoag at PHP 699 for travel until June 30, 2013. Passengers must book their tickets via www.tigerairways.com to avail of the special rates until April 8, 2013.
SEAIR is a 40-percent-owned associate airline of Tiger Airways Holdings. SEAIR adopts Tiger Airways' business model and offers value fares to domestic and international destinations within a five-hour flying radius of the Philippines.
SEAIR CEO Olive Ramos unveils SEAIR's vision to become a major player in the industry.
What brings you to Laoag?
Laoag is becoming one of the fastest growing cities in northern Luzon in terms of investment, business activities, job opportunities, and tourism. Last year, Ilocos Norte received 680,000 domestic and foreign tourists during Holy Week alone. We see Laoag as the gateway to the many beautiful tourist destinations as well as historical and cultural sites in the north.
SEAIR starts flying in and out of Laoag daily starting today. Manila-Laoag flights are scheduled at 1:00 p.m. and Laoag-Manila flights at 3:00 p.m.
Are there plans to make Laoag a regional or domestic hub?
There are no plans for the moment but we are just as excited to be part of the growth in Laoag. Our main service hub right now is based in Clark Airport, and maintains our fleet of five Airbus 320 and 319 aircraft. The next hub to open will be in Manila.
How will you compete with more established airlines that have been flying in and out of Laoag prior to SEAIR's arrival?
We always focus on customer service - providing our passengers a most pleasant and convenient flight experience, and offering very competitive fares.
With Laoag being the center for business and trading in the province and its enviable proximity to a variety of attractions in the region, SEAIR is targeting the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) market as well, which is becoming a new focus in the city with the establishment of international-standard road system and infrastructures, such as the Laoag International Airport.
The training of our pilots and cabin crew are at par with international standards, which enables us to provide passengers with the best inflight experience.
What is the competitive advantage of SEAIR over other airlines?
SEAIR has been a pioneering airline in building choice destinations across the country and the first to be ISO-certified. We have helped develop Boracay and northern Palawan into major tourist destinations.
We will continue our pioneering legacy by providing safe and enjoyable flight experiences, increasing direct flights to more destinations, and offering the lowest fares possible. Currently, SEAIR has the most number of flights in and out of Clark.

The Fast Track Reaches Home
By Marilyn Gardner
THE mystique of the 1970s declared that woman - make that Superwoman - could do it all, as wife, as mother, as careerist on the fast track.
The merciful late-'80s repealed this unrealistic expectation before would-be Superwoman burned out all her circuits.
But now the '90s are loading up the agenda again, this time by calling for a fast track at home starring Superparent. The pressure to be a complete mother or a complete father after a long hard day at work is being felt from all sides - and often that pressure is exerted through guilt.
Secretary of Education Richard Riley is understandably unhappy over the less-than-excelling results of his department's ``Reading Report Card,'' which finds that at least two-thirds of American students now read below grade level. He blames excessive TV viewing for some of the poor results. His accusing finger also points at parents who ``rarely intervene to help their children read anymore.'' He advises busy parents: ``Slow down the pace of your lives and help your children read more.''
Albert Shanker, president of the American Federation of Teachers, is equally prepared to scold parents for not performing their duties, relying instead on schools to do the job. Teachers, he says, ``are asked to be social workers, therapists, moms and dads, cops, and even medical technicians.'' While Mr. Riley wants parents to be teachers, Mr. Shanker wants teachers to stop having to play surrogate parents.
Furthermore, in a Louis Harris survey of teachers earlier this year, 86 percent of those polled felt that parents should be punished by fines when their children play truant. A considerable 42 percent believed that fines should also be levied on parents who fail to show up for appointments with teachers.
Attorney General Janet Reno has been stumping the country with speeches exhorting working parents to be parents first and workers second. She emphasizes the need to give children love, guidance, and a sense of right and wrong early in life. Yet she understands the problem parents face, saying, ``There is no quality time with kids, all too often.''
Few parents - or nonparents - would dispute that bringing children into the world is a serious responsibility requiring the utmost in love, discipline, and guidance. But there now may a danger of swinging the pendulum too far the other way in assuming that semi-literacy, boorish behavior, and even crime among the young are to be laid exclusively on the heads of parents.
The experts' advice is well-intentioned, even useful. Yet amid the stern sermons and the or-else threats of what will happen if fathers and mothers fail in their duties, there seems to be too little sense of the pleasure of being a parent. In the grim battle against illiteracy, where, for instance, is a taste of the pure joy of reading? The warning scenario of the decline and fall of the family too regularly makes fear the motive: If you don't want your children to turn into drug-abusing, gun-wielding young barbarians, you'd better spend a lot more quality time with them right now, quick.
What gets ignored is that, while much of the job may consist of duties, the indispensable essence of being a parent is love. The good news is that parents themselves appear to be recognizing anew the rewards of being devoted. According to the National Study of the Changing Workforce released this month - the most comprehensive study ever of the work and family lives of American workers - parents are putting family first, not because they are being coerced but because they are revising their priorities.
Although there is not a lot of evidence that bosses support this view, Ms. Reno sums up the challenge: ``We must find ways to put the family first before everything we do, while creating opportunities for both parents to achieve professional fulfillment.''
Working parents will continue to work. What they need now, if they are to fulfill without guilt and exhaustion the requests of respected voices like Riley, Shanker, and Reno, is time. Time to read to their children. Time to monitor their TV viewing. Time to give them more guidance. In an era of tight corporate budgets, time - in the form of flexible schedules, part-time jobs, and telecommuting - may be the one perk employers can best afford. In the long run, it might also be the perk they can least afford to deny this generation of workers - and the next.

Suspected Legionnaires' disease in a patient at Erie County Medical Center prompted testing that found slightly elevated levels of Legionella bacteria in the hospital's water system.
The Grider Street hospital late last week began imposing temporary water-use restrictions as a result.
It's not clear how the patient, diagnosed about one week ago, developed the disease — whether the patient came into the hospital already sick with it or whether there is a link to the water system, said Peter Cutler, the hospital's vice president for communications and external affairs.
"So far, it's a case of unknown origin," he said.
The hospital tested for the bacterium in 12 locations at the medical center and found slightly elevated levels in three of them, he said, leading officials to impose the restrictions on the use of tap water.
"We put the water restrictions in place out of an abundance of caution," he said.
The medical center also has been installing filters on faucets, shower heads and ice machines, as well as distributing bottled water throughout the facility. It's skilled nursing facility, Terrace View, relies on a different water system and was unaffected.
Hospital workers received notices to avoid using tap water starting on Sept. 29, Cutler said.
Legionnaires' disease is caused by a type of bacterium called Legionella that is named after a 1976 outbreak at a Philadelphia convention of the American Legion at which 29 attendees died from the illness.
Legionellosis is a bacterial disease associated with two distinct illnesses: Pontiac fever, an influenza-like illness, and Legionnaires' disease, a severe type of pneumonia. People can get Legionnaires' disease when they breathe in small droplets of water in the air that contain the bacteria, which can thrive in warm water.
Most healthy people exposed to Legionella don't get sick, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which received about 6,000 reports of the disease nationwide in 2015. But the disease, which is treatable, can pose serious risks to those with increased risks, such as the elderly, those with lung disease, and patients with weak immune systems.
There were 63 reported cases in Erie County in 2015.
The ECMC patient is in stable condition, Cutler said. He said hospital operations have not been affected.
The medical center, in a project unrelated to the situation, is in the process of replacing its water tank system.

Thanks. Really help me a lot.
Just wanted to say thanks for saving me from a major headache! This was exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks a lot mate, just what I needed!
Excellent thanks dude, I had tried a number of other solutions for this problem – as I was running in a VM and pausing it every night it fell behind by around 8 hours.
I didn't change the value above instead just resynced the time on the server using "ntpupdate pool.ntp.org" and it started working again.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though!
I resolved this by using another way….
Solution: Clean up space…remove unnecessary data ….
It's working for me. Thank you.
Thanks, dude! Saved my day!
But very shortsighted design decision from the Magento devs.
Thanks frnd , it was really very helpfull .
Seems to have worked for us and resolved a very upsetting problem that was costing us lost revenue and unhappy customers. Thanks Kalpesh!!
Login is not working anywhere in version 1.6.0.
This didn't help, I also tried Azhar's solution with no luck. Any other ideas?
Thanks a lot! I've been looking all day for a solution and finally I found something that works even on magento 1.4.1.1 … You're great!
Thanks a lot for this. It was very helpful.
Thanks so much mate I nearly had a heart attack when a customer phoned me about this on his Magento site and I had no idea what to do to fix it. This fixed the issue.
I tried everything didn't work UNTIl I read what Giel did which was turn the HTTP only to NO. Worked perfect!
Saved me, Magento 1.6.1, changed cookie lifetime to 86400 and was then able to login/add products using IE.
I had no problems with Chrome or FF.
In Case, that you dont see any cookie named "frontend" or "adminhtml", wenn you reload the page, the magento cookie wasnt set. In my case I have a wrong cookie_domain. I used "null" instead of "NULL".


House Clearance Blyth: Good morning.
Please could you give me an idea of cost to empty a 1st floor flat in a sheltered housing complex in Blyth. My elderly parents are moving to West Yorkshire so there won't be anyone present at the property. The removal company have been in and removed the furniture etc. they are keeping, so whatever is left needs clearing, including the carpets. There is a loft that needs emptying too.
Depending on the cost I feel this would be an easier option than my husband and I going up there! Sorry I'm at work so I can't ring now but I could ring later if you need anymore information.
The house clearance was completed on behalf of the customer and the following items pictured below were cleared from houses in the Blyth area and donated to various charities. Our house clearance staff transported the non reusable items from the house clearance to a waste recycling centre.
A black glass three shelf entertainment unit.
A silver and black Delta counter top 20L microwave.

This is my full guide on TS3 Cheats! This used to be only about the Sims 3 Lifetime Happiness Cheat, but I felt the need to do more. Plus, you can get your name in the credits if you want to contribute!
Before you even start, you must make sure you can access the cheats, and that they are working. First, go to your title screen, where you can access your different towns.
Next, you need to enable the cheats. Perform the command Ctrl + Shift + C, similar to Ctrl + Alt + Delete. Your screen should become a bit dimmer, and a text box will appear at the top.
This is similar to turning on Cheat Mode in Unturned, or making a world with cheats in Minecraft, or using sv_cheats 1 in almost any Source Engine game. Make sure you do this on the title screen or it WILL NOT WORK. You can toggle cheats off by typing on the home screen, "testingcheatsenabled false" or closing the game and opening it. This is why you need to enable cheats for each individual session in order for them to work. Remember, to confirm a cheat, press Enter. The Ctrl + Shift + C command is also how you will access cheat codes while in game. Check my other guides for a guide on the cheat codes. Now, let's move on.
Help me with at least 1 piece of information to add.
If you do, I will add you to a credits section at the end. I will not add you to Contributors, because when I remove you from the friend's list, it will get rid of your name on the list.

New Hampshire has declared in RSA 79-A that it is the public purpose of the state to encourage the preservation of open spaces as a means of promoting an "attractive outdoor environment for work and recreation" and to conserve "land, water, forest, agricultural and wildlife resources." To that end the state has determined not to tax land at values "incompatible with open space usage" and to assess land at its "current" (open space) use, as opposed to its theoretical "highest and best" use. The value of land, as such, is assessed at the property's value based upon its "income-producing capability" in its current use for growing forest or crops, not upon its fair market value.
What types of Land Uses are there?
For valuation purposes under the statute, a distinction is made between "farm land," "forest land, "unproductive land" and "wetlands." "Farm land" means cleared land capable of growing crops. "Forest land" means land growing trees. "Unproductive land" means land incapable of growing crops or forest because of poor soil or because it is rocky, steep, etc.
"Open space lands" can mean farm, forest or unproductive land. "Wetlands" are those areas of forest, unproductive or crop land that are inundated or saturated by surface water such they that support hydric vegetation. If land is deemed "unproductive" it is valued and taxed at the lowest current use value.
Who classifies the land? What values do they use?
The Selectmen or assessing officials are to appraise open space land—excluding buildings or other improvements— at valuations based upon current use values established by the Current Use Board established under RSA 79-A3. Farmland values flow from a board-established soil potential index.
What happens when the land use changes?
When the usage of land that had been classified as "open space land" changes, it is subject to a "land use change tax." Pursuant to RSA 79-A:7, I, the LUCT is assessed "at the rate of 10 percent of the full and true value determined without regard to the current use value of the land which is subject to a non-qualifying use." The tax is in addition to the annual real estate tax imposed on the property and is due upon the land use change. Once land has come out of current use valuation, it is taxed at its full fair market value under RSA 75:1.
What triggers a land use change?
A land use is considered "changed" when actual construction begins causing physical changes in the earth, such as building a road to service a new home or subdivision, or excavating a construction site. (It is noted that a land use is changed if excavated materials from the property are sold. Thus, where ledge is involved in the installation of a pipeline and it must be shot by dynamite, it should be specified in the right-of-way agreement with the pipeline company that it is the obligation of the company to dispose of shattered rock off premises—the landowner probably does not want to try to sell the debris for road fill….) Only land that is specifically affected is subject to the change tax. Under RSA 79A VI there are exceptions, however.
• Land under current use is taken by eminent domain or any other type of governmental taking which would cause the use change penalty to be invoked.
• Land abutting a site taken by eminent domain…upon which construction is in progress is used to stockpile earth taken from the construction site.
• Land accorded current use assessment in one category is changed in use to any other qualifying category.
• Land under current use assessment is eligible for conservation restriction assessment pursuant to RSA 79-B.
Does the installation of a pipeline trigger a land use change?
When any holder of a certificate of public convenience and necessity cannot acquire by contract, or is unable to agree with the owner of property to the compensation to be paid for the necessary right-of-way to construct, operate, and maintain a pipe line or pipe lines for the transportation of natural gas, and the necessary land or other property, in addition to right-of-way, for the location of compressor stations, pressure apparatus, or other stations or equipment necessary to the proper operation of such pipe line or pipe lines, it may acquire the same by the exercise of the right of eminent domain in the district court of the United States…, or in the State courts….
What if the land was seized by eminent domain?
This presents the question as to whether a negotiated right-of-way under the "threat" of eminent domain—short of a litigated taking-in-court—constitutes a "taking by eminent domain," or "any other type of governmental taking" within the meaning of the N.H. statute. It would seem that it does. Eminent domain is often referred to as an "involuntary conversion," meaning, once a landowner is in the headlights of the government taking process, he/she is being forced to do something; taking is involuntary and absolutely beyond the control of the landowner. The inevitable road to the loss of property interest is straight and clear, though the ultimate process for determining compensation (negotiation or trial) is not yet determined. Negotiation is obviously favored as saving the resources of condemnor, condemnee and the courts.
(a) General rule: If property (as a result of its destruction in whole or in part, theft, seizure, or requisition or condemnation or threat or imminence thereof) is compulsorily or involuntarily converted….
The statute then provides that there is no tax recognition of the proceeds of the involuntary conversion, provided the landowner purchases similar property within a certain time frame. The point is that the federal statute accords recognition to the practicalities of the taking process. Most cases are settled short of trial; in fact, most often landowners negotiate a fair settlement with the government without a formal takings case being filed. It would seem under New Hampshire law that settling with a public utility, short of trial and even short of the utility filing suit should be seen as being in the eminent domain process and should not constitute a change in use. A practical tip: It is recommended that certain verbiage be incorporated into the easement agreement that reflects that the parties came to agreement in the face of the appropriation process that otherwise would have been forthcoming.
(c) Land accorded current use assessment in one category is changed in use to any other qualifying category.
What happens when a pipeline is installed in farmland?
In farm country, nothing. In other words utility easements typically do not forbid growing crops. Of course, most of New Hampshire is forestry lands. Yes, it is true that trees are not permitted to be grown on pipeline rights-of-way, but there is nothing to say that a landowner could not plant, for instance, blueberries. In other words the use would be changed from "forest land" to "farm land." Again, RSA 79-A defines "farm land" as "cleared land capable of growing crops"—it does not say crops actually have to be grown.
(d) Land under current use assessment is eligible for conservation restriction assessment pursuant to RSA 79-B. Such land shall then be allowed to change from current use assessment to conservation restriction assessment with no land use change tax being applied.
Under RSA 79-B "conservation restriction" means a permanent restriction of open space land by deed granted in perpetuity… to a federal, state, county, local or other government body, or to a charitable, educational, or other nonprofit corporation established for the purposes of natural resource conservation…. A landowner contemporaneously with the grant of a pipeline easement in theory could grant to, for instance, a town an appropriate conservation easement co-terminus with the pipeline easement.
One final matter of note, a further reduction in the current use value of land is offered under RSA 79-A:4 where land is open 12 months of the year to recreational activity such as skiing or hiking.
In sum, where an affected property owner properly asserts his/her rights under RSA 79-A and 79-B, and where he/she correctly memorializes his/her interactions and agreements with NED the installation of its pipeline should not trigger the land use change tax.


After a dinner of fresh pears and protein bars, and an Amtrak bus ride, we arrived in Vancouver after dark. With zero expectations and zero Canadian dollars, we knew we were about to embark on an adventure a little bit different than our travels through Oregon and Washington.
While the nature in Vancouver was every bit as stunning as that near Portland and Seattle, it had something extra. With a different history, and an appreciation for aboriginal people, what really stood out was the culture.
These aboriginal touches are visible all over town—in parks, museums, hotels and native art. Vancouver is the perfect place to escape while learning about a new place with a rich history.
While there are many attractions in which to view native art, Vancouver's own art hotel, Skwachàys Lodge is most unique. An artist residence as well as a hotel, guests are a mix of local aboriginal creatives and those passing through.
One of the most impressive aspects of the lodge is the lobby gallery, filled with different types of native art. Vancouver artists sell everything from paintings and sculptures to West Coast formline-style greeting cards in the shop. This is one of the best places in Vancouver to find these types of pieces.
But the best part about Skwachàys Lodge is that the aboriginal touches aren't only in the gallery. The building's architecture and design also incorporate native art. Vancouver has a stunning skyline, and although this lodge is little ways away, it is still impressive. A 40-foot totem pole sits atop the lodge, making it easy to identify. This special touch also stands as a symbol of the local culture and people.
Each room in the hotel was designed by a local artist, too. So rather than just having the art in the lobby, the rooms themselves are a work of art. Of the 18 rooms on the top three floors, we stayed in the Feather suite, which artist Richard Shorty designed. His black and red feather painting was located right at the top of the staircase.
While in Vancouver, we had to make our way over to the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology. After a long bus ride and an even longer walk, we made it inside and began to explore. The entire walkway leading into the main exhibit hall told stories of aboriginal peoples and their way of life in the past.
The main hall itself was filled with large-scale pieces like hand-carved totem poles, long canoes and painted wooden art pieces. The tall glass windows overlooking the pond outside let in plenty of light to see the detail.
Another room examined other aspects of growing up as a native Canadian through videos with headphones revealing stories from those who experienced it firsthand. This room, too, featured hand-carved items as well as hand-made baskets.
In addition to all of the native art, Vancouver artists and aboriginal history located in the museum, there were other cultures represented too. From swinging in hammocks in an exhibit dedicated to the Amazon to rooms filled with artifacts from everywhere from China to West Africa, there were so many cultural components that truly made it a great museum for learning and exploration.
Head just a little ways north to find Stanley Park, a large green space filled with trails to explore. But that isn't the only reason to visit the park. It also has its own touch of aboriginal life, with its famous totem poles.
Not far from the walkway that runs along the harbor, there are nine of the artistic wooden structures. The most visited attraction in the city, these totem poles have been in the park since the 1920s and 30s. Though they were originally in a different area, they were relocated to Brockton Point in the 60s.
These powerful symbols of aboriginal culture also reveal an artistry that isn't found in all types of carved food. The unique icons found within each have their own meanings, and reveal history about the family they were created for.
Near the totem poles, a small shop sells an array of aboriginal arts & crafts as well. With so many pieces of native art, Vancouver's Stanley Park is one of a kind, selling everything from jewelry to magnets with special meanings behind each one.
Should I ever return to Vancouver, I hope to delve even deeper into the historical relevance of the city and the aboriginal people that have long called it home.
Have you ever been to Vancouver? Did you see any other places with traces of aboriginal culture? What other countries have you been to that have a wealth of indigenous culture and art?


Moody patterns held together by concrete..simple things, grey skies and field of grass. Leah faure is an artist that paints the things she sees everyday in the city that she loves Portland. Leah spent the beginning of her art career wandering the streets of Portland's east side industrial area. There she developed a love of patterns created by decorative architectural molding to buildings set in rows or cast shadows on a midsummer day.
She expresses this love through the medium of oil painting and drawing. Drawn to scenes with strong perspectiveor complicated overlaying patterns. Things that presents a riddle or challenge. Visual challenge like these are a welcome distraction and topic of many of Leah's art work.


YEREVAN (Reuters) - Armenian-backed forces have lost 97 soldiers, volunteers and civilians in renewed fighting over the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region, including 77 killed between April 2-5, the Armenian Defence Ministry said.
Azerbaijan, whose troops clashed with the Armenian-backed Nagorno-Karabakh forces, has said it lost 31 soldiers and four civilians on April 2-5. It has not published updated figures.
A Moscow-brokered ceasefire halted four days of fierce fighting on April 5 but sporadic shooting is still frequent at night.


We loaded a couple of ATT bucket trucks on a landing craft and waged an assault on Pleasure Beach. This is to finalize the repair work from Hurricane Sandy last year. The other factor is the construction taking place on the Island. The City of Bridgeport is constructing a park, which involves extensive repairs and renovations to the buildings. Construction vehicles driving under the old lines have ripped them down several times, thus repairing the lines on the new utility poles was necessary.
ATT is the LEC for the Bridgeport area, something they don't do in most other parts of the country, from what I am told.
It took approximately four hours to complete this work and reload the trucks back on the landing craft. The boat itself looks like a slightly modified LCM (Landing Craft, Mechanized), which were produced from 1943 onward. This is an LCM-8.
WICC towers almost in line, I was about one second too late with this shot. This would be "down the bore" of the daytime pattern into downtown Bridgeport.
Another shot of the WICC towers. These were designed to hold up a horizontal T top wire antenna strung between the two of them. At some point in the early thirties, somebody realized that the tower itself could be excited as a vertical radiator and the antenna configuration was changed. Up until the mid 1970's there was a horizontal wire which supported third wire element hanging between the two towers, making it a three tower directional array. This was removed and it was then that the current phasor and two tower DA-2 system was installed.

Clipper RTW
The Starting Line 2 – Airlie Beach, Australia
17th January 2016 Comments (0) Clipper, Home Page
And we're off… – Abell Point Marina, Australia
It's Sunday 17th January, 23.00 and it's the night before we actually set sail for Vietnam. I am just sitting here at the Marina, Abell Point Marina Yacht Club and I've been out with some of the crew for some dinner and a beer, or three!
But seriously we will be taking it very easy tonight as it is race start tomorrow morning. Although tomorrow is not a typical race start as we will not be starting from the marina, rather we have to motor around 140 nautical miles out so that we get out past the Great Barrier Reef… YAWN…, sorry!
The actual start line is just East of the Great Barrier Reef and because it is quite tricky to navigate the coral of the reef the race directors decided we have to motor out beyond the narrow channels to an off shore start point. This modified start gives us a great opportunity to do our refresher sailing which we haven't been able to do. The original plan was to do some on Saturday but now we will be able to test ourselves during the transition from the marina to the start.
Over the few days here at Airlie Beach there have been lots of repairs required on the boat and this morning we all met again at 10.00 for a debrief before heading up to emigration for final processing. We had to sit in a room with emigration officers while an administrator checked our passports. Our names were called in turn so I presented myself so the emigration officer could extensively assess if the man in front of him was one and the same as the man pictured in the passport. I was asked my date of birth and otherwise wished a safe trip. In fairness it was all very informal… YAWN…, sorry! (John is tired!)
After lunch we had a few jobs to finish up on the boat before another and very much the proper debrief from our skipper. The race organisers delivered a detailed race meeting at 15.30 covering the route, procedures, potential for piracy, which is quite low on this stage, update on cyclones, which can happen north of Australia in the Solomon Sea, which is east of Papua New Guinea, again low risk. All appeared in order, no major concerns.
Back on board another team chat with the skipper, aired some issues, what we expected from the race, what the procedures on board would be, who was doing what, allocation of watches, bunks and specific tasks and a discussion about other procedures.
On the marina this evening the organisers posted an A2 printout of our boat, a graphical illustration of each of the 12 boats which each team in turn signed and these were then auctioned off. I thought it was a bit of a poor showing but we did have about 15 or 16 of the Derry-Londonderry-Doire crew so a bit of craic, a few pints ourselves… YAWN…, sorry! (Poor baby is very tired!)
The poster of our boat went for AUZ400 (£200/€260) and as it happens… I was the one who won the auction! It was funny having so many of one crew there trying to outdo each other adding to the atmosphere and after it was announced I had won the bidding for the poster of Derry-Londonderry-Doire a number of the crew said they really wanted to get this for our Skipper, Dan saying he really wanted it. I asked well where is he so?, playing hard to get and eventually said cool, no worries, of course he could have it. The crew said they would bring it back to Derry to get it fully signed up and as it was about £200 they said all would chip in but as far as I'm concerned the auction was a bit of craic, it is all in aid of Unicef tonight, so another great cause. All good.
So that was today. As I said we are just done with dinner, which we went for after the auction. The Last Supper as it is called. Really nice steak was had that is it for now. Just back to hit the sack and thought I'd do one last report before I go. Thanks all and please keep the donations rolling in, pass the word and you will hear from me again in a month.
Please don't forget to support CATS Foundation and/or NMO UK, who I am raising funds for as part of my Clipper Round the World Race.

Titans Ink Trio to 2016 Signing Class
FULLERTON, Calif. - Head coach Kelly Ford announced that three area prep athletes have signed National Letters of Intent to play softball for the Cal State Fullerton Titans. Sydney Golden, Raeanne Martinez and Ariana Williams all hail from California and will begin their careers with the Titans at the beginning of the 2015-16 academic school year.
"We are excited to welcome in this group of dynamic signees," said Ford. "The athleticism, offensive prowess and pitching skill will be strong assets to the future of Titans softball. Our staff has high expectations for all the student-athletes that we will be bringing into our family and this group represents the type of individuals we want to surround ourselves with."
Sydney Golden | 5-10 | P | MLK High School | Riverside
Competing in four contests for the Wolves in 2014, Golden posted a 0.58 earned run average over 12 innings in the circle. She surrendered only one earned run while fanning nine and recording one shutout under head coach Lucinda Brewer.
"Our staff is really looking for Sydney to flourish on the mound at Cal State Fullerton. She has the size, the levers, and the physical presence to really make a statement in the Big West Conference," Ford said. "Sydney comes from a travel ball program that expects to win and that is an intangible for a pitcher. She is a full package when it comes to performing on the softball field and in the classroom, exhibiting many traits that you want to surround yourself with."
Travel Ball Experience
Golden is a member of the Orange County Batbusters under head Ken Briggs. In addition, she also competed on Mike Stith's Team Mizuno squad while participating in the Premier Girls Fastpitch National Tournament for the past several seasons en route to the 2014 PGF Platinum National Championship.
Raeanne Martinez | 5-1 | UT | La Serna High School | Whittier
Through three years of her prep career, Martinez boasted a solid .360 average during her junior year, scoring 19 runs while driving in 21 RBIs. In her sophomore campaign, the Whittier, Calif., native hit at a clip of .275, collecting 14 RBIs while tallying 17 runs. Her tenure as a Lancer under head coach Mike Reed was highlighted in 2014 with a second place finish at the Division III CIF Championships.
"Raeanne brings many assets to our softball program as a sheer competitor and the type of student-athlete that will play anytime and anywhere," stated Ford. "Her personality is electric and her drive to be successful will make everyone around her better. Raeanne also plays for an outstanding travel ball program where winning is a priority in which I expect that same type of edge at Cal State Fullerton."
Martinez arrives at Cal State Fullerton with over eight years of travel ball experience, currently competing with the So Cal Athletics 18U Quarles. In addition, the 5-foot-1 student-athlete was also a member of the So Cal Wicked, Cerritos Franchise and the Firecrackers. She capped off her 2010-11 campaign finishing third at the Premier Girls Fastpitch Championship.
Ariana Williams | 5-10 | OF | Canyon Springs High School | Moreno Valley
Williams has played for the Cougars over the past three seasons under head coach Janine Monahan. Competing in all 12 contests in centerfield her junior season, she batted .381 with four doubles and four RBIs. Contributing in numerous categories, she also posted a slugging percentage of .574 to go along with an on-base percentage of .426. In her sophomore season, the Moreno Valley, Calif., native recorded a .383 average in 13 games, tallying seven RBIs, a pair of triples and one home run. In her rookie campaign Williams played in all 15 games with 10 singles and three extra-base hits. The 5-foot-10 outfielder boasted a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage in both her sophomore and junior seasons.
"Ariana is simply the definition of an all around athlete, utilizing speed, power and agility that is second to none," added Ford. "Fullerton alumna Pam Newton spoke volumes about her character and abilities and our coaching staff can see her making an immediate impact in the outfield."
Competed under head coach Pam Newton's Cal Lite squad in addition to the Orange County Batbusters under Ken Briggs.

Apprenticeships are open to anyone aged 16 and over, living in the UK and not taking part in any other form of full-time education. Entry requirements are flexible because Apprenticeships aren't just based on academic achievement, practical skills count in the area of work you've chosen because employers value dedication to work and willingness to learn.
If you are employed – firstly speak to your manager/supervisor to discuss the apprenticeship you are interested in. Your employer will then contact their chosen training provider who will visit you to discuss the apprenticeship and the induction process.
If you are unemployed – Apprenticeship vacancies are advertised on our training provider portal and also on our website.
Completing an Apprenticeship will help develop vital skills employers are looking for.
You will gain a nationally recognised qualification - increasing your employability.
You will earn whilst you learn.
It really depends upon the Apprenticeship you are completing but will be anything from 12 months to 24 months.
Are Apprenticeships available for existing staff members?
You don't have to have to be new to the role, existing staff members could be an ideal candidate for an Apprenticeship. This is a great way to upskill and broaden the skills and knowledge you already have.
If I have a degree can I still complete a funded Apprenticeship?
Under the new Trailblazer standards – Yes you will be funded to complete an Apprenticeship.
I achieved GCSE grades in Maths and English but I cannot find the certificates to prove this, will I have to complete Functional Skills Maths and English as part of the Apprenticeship?
We will carry out a qualifications search if the GCSE results are not showing in this search then you will have to complete the Functional Skills Maths and English. The Government have published information relating to the falling levels of Maths and English achievement within the UK. By stepping up the English and Maths requirements the Government hope to equip the workforce with the literacy and numeracy skills needed to perform well and support development. As part of your ongoing training and support your assessor will support you with checking your evidence for Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPaG), as well as support you in preparation for the Maths and English tests.
This is training carried out away from your place of work, off the job training can include – attending the training centre to acquire knowledge through participating in discussions, group working and writing assignments - all contribute towards off the job training.
How often will I meet with my trainer?
At least every 4 weeks, contact time will be agreed with your employer prior to commencing the Apprenticeship.
Why do I need to be observed doing my job?
Observation is a key method of assessment, the standards you complete as part of your Apprenticeship identifies the tasks your trainer must observe you completing as part of your daily working. Observations are always agreed in advance with the Apprentice, the manager/supervisor and the trainer.
Bursary is up to £30 per week depending on circumstances.
HYA Training is a training provider. We are very similar to a college in the way we operate but we have a more personable approach to education.
Is this a full time course?
Yes, our Study Programme is a full time course.
Why do I have to do Maths/English?
If students have not achieved a GCSE Maths/ English Government guidelines say that they must study both English and Maths (this is a condition of funding for us). If the student has achieved GCSE standard they do not have to study English or Maths.
Do I get half term and summer holidays?
Yes, HYA operate an academic year so all half terms, Easter holiday and a full 6 weeks summer holidays.
If you still have a question, please contact us today. You can easily fill out our contact form or leave a message on the live chat.

I googled for the resources and found all are building sites only...Am in searching of a coding path to get this thing done.
Like, I need to develop the chatbot to start the conversion itself by displaying some options-buttons to proceed in programmatical approach.

Santa Clarita Man Sentenced to More Than 4 Years in Prison for Scheming to Fraudulently Obtain $1.8 Million in COVID-Relief Funds
LOS ANGELES – A Santa Clarita Valley man was sentenced today to 51 months in federal prison for scheming to fraudulently obtain approximately $1.8 million in COVID-19 relief guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) through the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
Hassan Kanyike, 30, of Santa Clarita, was sentenced by United States District Judge Virginia A. Phillips, who also ordered him to pay a $20,000 fine and $1,302,550 in restitution to the SBA and four victim lenders. Kanyike pleaded guilty on March 29 to one count of wire fraud.
From April 2020 to June 2020, Kanyike submitted six fraudulent PPP loan applications and two fraudulent EIDL applications. The applications sought funds to purportedly pay the salaries of employees whom he claimed worked for two of his businesses. Kanyike successfully obtained approximately $1 million through four PPP loans, and another $300,000 through two EIDL loans.
In support of the fraudulent PPP loan applications, Kanyike submitted fake federal tax filings and payroll reports for a used-car business, the Van Nuys-based Falcon Motors. For example, in one loan application, Kanyike falsely claimed the business had 26 employees and an average monthly payroll of $168,000, and he submitted a fabricated IRS tax form claiming Falcon Motors had paid $2,022,300 to employees in 2019.
In reality, Falcon Motors had no employees on payroll. Kanyike further admitted that he obtained additional Employer Identification Numbers from the IRS in April and May 2020 so he could apply for multiple loans for the same used-car business. Kanyike then used a substantial portion of the PPP loan proceeds for his own personal benefit.
Kanyike schemed to fraudulently obtain eight loans totaling approximately $1.8 million, of which six loans worth a total of $1,302,550 were approved.
At the time of his arrest in December 2020, Kanyike had transferred approximately $762,000 to Uganda, his country of citizenship, from one of the business accounts that had received the loan proceeds, in violation of the terms of the PPP and EIDL program.
Homeland Security Investigations and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration investigated the case.
Assistant United States Attorney Richard E. Robinson of the Major Frauds Section and Assistant Chief William Johnston of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section at the Department of Justice prosecuted this case.
Anyone with information about allegations of attempted fraud involving COVID-19 can report it by calling the Department of Justice's National Center for Disaster Fraud Hotline at (866) 720-5721 or via the NCDF Web Complaint Form at: https://www.justice.gov/disaster-fraud/ncdf-disaster-complaint-form.

Coward. Our State Police Chief Counsel is a coward. I am ashamed of his choice. He should be ashamed of himself. If I was a state police fleet manager and somebody told me that the equipment that I pay some outside vendor to install, in my cruisers, is illegal and deadly, I would demand proof, I wouldn't just blow it off and ignore a formal written complaint, a complaint lodged by me. 49 U.S. state police fleet managers have done just that... NOTHING. After seeing proof, I would pursue relief from the illegal vendor, following the United States Department of Transportation guidelines outlined in the USDOT's Chief Counsels' 1985 letter. That equipment must be recalled and the defects remedied or the product must be repurchased by the manufacturer. By correcting this problem, we can save lives, reduce costs and make it possible, once again, to look in the mirror. These are metaphorically devised pokes in the eye of the state police, WAKE UP!!

The Other Adventist Home
The Adventist Constitutional Crisis
I once read a book of speculative fiction, in which the medical system went rabid. Health screening was involuntary, medical consent was not a thing, and ambulances roamed the streets like prowling squad cars. It was all the creepier, as the author well knew, because it was done out of love for human life. I would prefer if my church didn't take this as an operating model.
We stand in a new and alarming place as a church. From where I'm standing, it looks like a crossroads.
We have challenges. We disagree, even on points of doctrine. We come from so many cultures we can't always tell which fights are moral and which are custom. And just now, the issue of ordination has put us in a constitutional crisis, a dispute between Unions and GC over what is policy, and who has the right to interpret it.
GC administrators have a solution in mind. It's a system of compliance committees, meant to collect reports of forbidden ideas and practices by church employees and institutions, and squelch them. It's a system which will make all of the church body directly accountable to them.
And I don't like it.
God had a point the day he told Israel that a king was a bad idea. Up until that time, people brought their problems to the judges when they needed help--the judge didn't go seeking out lawbreaking to punish. It was something like calling an ambulance. You do it when you, or someone near you sees you need help. I don't want to guess whether a government could or should work this way now, but I believe our church should. Apparently, our predecessors did, too, because that's the kind of accountability they set up in Working Policy.
The denomination already has a process for the issues addressed by the compliance committees. Problems are handled at the local level. If they can't be solved, the church entity dealing with it can ask for help from the next level of organization. But it's the local entity's call--or the next nearest to it--whether there is a problem, and whether they need intervention. It is, essentially, an ambulance model.
What the GC administration is trying to create by these compliance committees is a new structure, which puts the initiative in their hands. They want a squad-car model, where they are free to seek out non-compliance, and treat it, overruling the authority of local administrators and voting church members. They want a search warrant to look into any employee or institution of the church. They want to turn the ambulances into the police.
But there are problems with the squad-car model, and we know them from our civil government. The act of policing breaks down trust and candor. It changes the atmosphere, whether you are obeying the law or not.* And it's full of potential for abuse. To prevent this, the government has a system of checks and balances. Things like a separation of powers, a meaningful appeals process, and equal accountability—for the government as well as the citizens—keep such policing ethical. The church has no such protections. If we want a squad car model, we have to create them. The cost of this system is more than the loss of trust and collegiality in the church. It's also bureaucracy, work, and money.
And what will we get for our investment? Only compliance. The ambulances will become police. The policies which were meant to serve mission will become the masters, unable to change once we have so elevated them.
In my sci-fi story, no one was allowed to die--life support kept them technically alive forever. In the same way, the Adventist church will live on, but not as the same creature. The spark of honest discovery, the spirit of eagerness and innovation, the living faith of our very anti-kingship pioneers, will be gone.
Or we can take the other road. We can keep the ambulance model, and the spirit of trust and respect for one another. We can use the system that's already in place.
I know it might not get the results some administrators want on issues that are currently out of their hands. But it does have one priceless intangible benefit.
It allows us to remain Seventh-day Adventists.
It lets us remain people of the Book, who believe in conscience over conformity. People who believed no king was needed in the church, when they founded it, and so didn't make one. People who want to fulfill the words of Jesus about his church, that:
"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."**
*as anyone knows who has ever had a police car driving directly behind them
**John 13:35

Director Spike Lee Visits John Jay And Talks Social Responsibility
With social responsibility playing a pivotal role in their work, Adjunct Professor Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X, invited acclaimed film director Spike Lee, to speak to her American Cultural Pluralism and the Law class. On December 11, Lee joined the John Jay students for a Q&A discussion where Shabazz started the event by reminding her students of what they had learned in class. "We have observed some information on the remarkable contributions of Americans regardless of race, class, gender, or religion for racial equality and human rights," Shabazz said. "I hope that this inspires you to rise to the occasion when it's your time to do the very same." A.J. Calloway, an American television personality, and Tony Phillips, Vice President of On-Demand Content at WNYC, also joined Lee on the panel.
Lee began by talking about the beginning of his career in film. "Growing up in the People's Republic of Brooklyn, New York, I had no idea I wanted to be a filmmaker. I went down south to Atlanta for college, and like I always say, I didn't discover film, film discovered me," Lee said with a laugh. "After I graduated, I came back to New York and attended NYU Graduate Film School. I couldn't get into other film schools because you needed an astronomical GRE score. I was fortunate that you didn't have to take the GRE for NYU." Lee then spoke about his initial awareness of social responsibility, which started in his Brooklyn home. "Being aware of it was just being at the dinner table. That was where the events of the day were discussed by my whole family," he said.

"Even though Do the Right Thing came out in 1989, we were talking about global warming, gentrification, and racism. These issues have not changed."—Spike Lee
When asked if he consciously uses film to effect change, Lee said that this was not his main intention. "My objective is not to inspire, it's to tell a story," he said. "Some films might have an agenda, and then there are some that are more story-driven than subject matter." And, while his goal might not be to inspire, Lee acknowledges that social responsibility is a key component of his work. "When everything happened with Eric Garner, I had a flashback. I immediately called my editor and we re-cut the footage of Garner with the fictitious murder of Radio Raheem. It was almost the exact same thing. Even though Do the Right Thing came out in 1989, we were talking about global warming, gentrification, and racism. These issues have not changed."

As the event ended, Calloway reminded Shabazz's students to be more humane to everyone around them. "There's a homeless guy by my job who's been homeless for 38 years. I'm probably the only person who talks to him," he said. "No one speaks to him. People give him money, but they don't treat him like a human." Calloway continued, advising students to uplift others. "It doesn't matter what level you are on, you can always help someone. That's our social responsibility." After listening to the panel, we spoke with several students to hear their thoughts on the discussion.

Major: Law and Society; Spanish: Legal Translation and Interpretation
"John Jay is a very diverse school and it's very important for people to know that Hispanics and African-Americans are making contributions. We all have the capacity to become professionals. Having speakers like Spike Lee, who is a successful man of color, gives you a direct connection to them and makes you feel like you can do it too."
Sara Pennacchia
Major: Criminology; Minor in Law
"Having someone like Spike Lee speak here is important because he can educate us on viewpoints that we might not be educated on. I liked what A.J. Calloway said about blessing others and being humane towards others. That's an important aspect in our society that we need to grasp and practice with each other. We live in New York City and it's very fast paced, it's important for us to learn to slow down and be humane with one another."
Shady Baez
Major: Culture and deviance studies
"People who work in the media like Spike Lee are important to have here because they are public figures and their voices are heard. If they express their viewpoints and experiences, people will listen and can follow in their footsteps."
