NAPSTER FIGHT BACK
The Internet music file-sharing application declares file-swapping "common, legal and accepted"...
Napster, the controversial Internet music file-sharing application, are claiming that CD sales are increasing as a result of their controversial music-downloading software and have declared file-swapping: "common, legal and accepted".
In a statement posted on their site, Napster[/a] and its users are not breaking copyright law.
Napster claim that music fans have the "absolute right" to create and swap digital music "for non-commercial purposes". They refer to a case in 1984 when the entertainment industry was up in arms claiming that Betamax would be the death-knell for movies, and say the result of that case means that they cannot be held liable for copyright infringement.
Elsewhere in the statement, Napster claim their users are going out and buying CDs after sampling music through their site, and that using the software is no different: "Visiting a listening station or borrowing a CD from a friend, in order to decide whether to make a purchase." They add: "Five independent studies have all confirmed Napster's substantial positive effect on music purchases and a sixth finds no significant reduction in CD purchases."

In Mind We Trust – the Supreme Court who will soon hear arguments for a landmark mind reading case
Last week I had the opportunity to submit In Mind We Trust as a pilot for a TV or Web series. As some of you know, In Mind We Trust is the sequel to Justice Is Mind. When I wrote the sequel a couple of years ago, I think the idea for a series was always in the back of my mind.
The question I had before I submitted was that the pilot might not make sense unless someone watches Justice Is Mind. The response back was pretty straight forward. "…to have a lot of unanswered questions at the end of a pilot script — it opens up the world any mysteries for the series." Well if there's questions they want, they'll get it with this story!
In Mind We Trust – What is Project Gateway?
It's stories this industry wants and needs. Sure we read how the major studios are just focused on tentpoles (I loved Wonder Woman by the way), but the terrestrial networks and OTT services just continue to expand and need programming to fill their schedules. With Apple, Facebook, Vice and others actively moving to original series orders, the quest for stories continues.
The one piece of advice I was given when living in Los Angeles was to always have more than one project ready to present. I didn't fully grasp it at the time, but it makes total sense. Some may love sci-fi but have no interest in political thrillers. Others may not want something sports related, but are looking for a drama. Well, the latter fit the bill with In Mind We Trust.
In Mind We Trust – questions from Justice Is Mind are answered about lost artwork from WWII
Personally, if I had my druthers, who wouldn't want to see their concept set up at a Netflix or Amazon. When I see the production values of The Crown and The Man in the High Castle (two of my favorite shows), it's just amazing where the industry has gone over the last several years. But like anything in this business, it's about time and in the case of a series—staffing.
Unlike a movie that can be staffed pretty quickly, a series requires an unprecedented amount of personnel. Just take a look at the end credits of a show or their listings on IMDB. These aren't just one off projects like a movie, these are, if the show succeeds, long-term commitments. But before any of this is even remotely considered, it comes down to the story itself.
When I think of the number of mind-reading, privacy and intelligence agency articles being published on a regular basis, I certainly think In Mind We Trust has as good a chance as any of getting a review. Thankfully, the concept has already gone through some market testing with Justice Is Mind. From a theatrical release to media coverage and VOD, anyone looking at this project can already see it's more than just words on a page.
Concepts.

New Heading
Like the broadcast of the trial in the film, Justice Is Mind will soon be available worldwide on VOD.
While I was completing delivery of Justice Is Mind to a new VOD platform this week, the approval came in for our press release announcing the international premiere of the film. In addition to what I think will be a wonderful opportunity for Justice, this is one deal that I'm particularly proud of simply owing to its uniqueness.
Since our world premiere last August my goals with Justice Is Mind have been simple and to the point—get the movie in front of audiences and plot a return on investment for my backers. When one considers the sheer number of films being made that are looking for an audience, I think being unique and innovative is key because if I'm not going to do it, someone else is.
In the next few days I'll be announcing the international premiere of Justice Is Mind with a brand older than the Hollywood itself. That really is what it comes down to with a film, building a brand. It's what I have endeavored to accomplish with Justice Is Mind domestically and what I hope to do as we sail into the international marketplace.
Father's Day Trivia. Did you know that on screen father and son are real life father and son? Vernon Aldershoff and his son Dmitri.
Fortunately, what has enabled filmmakers to accomplish so much with finite resources is social media and a host of new digital tools. But that too requires constant navigation as this relatively new form of marketing continues to evolve. This past week I read an excellent "white paper" titled An Analysis of Internet Trends in 2014 for Independent Films. My takeaway from this was pretty straight forward, the old ways of doing business (particularly internationally) with "gatekeepers" is collapsing (rightly so) and audiences are the curators of content they want (the way it should be).
When it comes to brand building, developing SOS United States is no different than what I've been doing with Justice Is Mind. With Justice we have themes revolving around the loss of privacy, government intervention and new sciences in the courtroom. With SOS United States we have government conspiracies, intelligence agencies and military conflicts. Yes, like First World, my screenplays tend to revolve around existing and what I call forward projection trends. I guess that's my brand of writing!
With our new heading towards Europe along with the release to our first VOD platform, needless to say we will be navigating new waters as we set sail on this new adventure. But the one thing a captain needs above all us is a great crew and passengers. Suffice to say we have that with Justice Is Mind.
Clear all moorings.
In SOS United States, the ship is called the Leviathan. Pictured is the actual SS Leviathan that eventually became the flagship of the United States Lines.

The integral cohomology rings of the symmetric square of projective spaces.
In the 1960's R. James Milgram described the homology groups of the symmetric products of a space. The cohomology rings, on the other hand, are difficult to compute in general, and fully known only for a few special cases. In this talk I will describe the integral cohomology rings of the symmetric square of quaternionic projective space, and of the octonionic projective line. Our methods also works for the complex case, which we plan to discuss in a forthcoming paper.

It was relegation decider day for part-time Conference Premier club Altrincham FC. A larger than normal home support poured through the turnstiles to witness the crucial end-of-season encounter with Eastbourne Borough, bringing with them the familiar tensions that saturate these occasions: the nerves, the nail-biting, an atmosphere fuelled by a heady mix of expectation and trepidation. A whole gamut of emotions that would, towards the end of the game, peak in several minutes of high drama.
Altrincham had to win and hope their relegation rivals would slip up in order for them to stay in the division. Coming into this game Eastbourne Borough had already been consigned to a first-ever relegation in their history. The league's bottom club, Histon, were demoted some time ago; they went down on the same early April day that Eastbourne's more affluent county neighbours, Crawley Town, achieved their own holy grail by gaining promotion to the Football League.
The match lived up to its billing. The visitors raced into a 3-0 half-time lead and, with results elsewhere going in Altrincham's favour, were dramatically hauled back to 3-3 with minutes remaining. As Altrincham pushed for one more goal that would seal an improbable last-gasp survival, Eastbourne spoiled the party with a late winner. Examination of the league table at the final whistle confirmed relegation, but for many observers it painted an altogether more worrying picture. The season had ended with the relegation of four part-time clubs.
In a sport with many divisions, there exists a divide in football that is not immediately obvious to identify – the line that separates the full-time professionals from the part-timers. In the last decade the indefinite position of this delineation has crept further down the football pyramid. Ten years ago the demarcation fell around the upper reaches of the fourth tier of the Football League; it now sits, rather uncomfortably, within the higher echelons of non-League. In the Conference Premier this season it was clear that a club's status had a real bearing on the level of success on the pitch.
Altrincham's chairman Grahame Rowley is forthright about how difficult it is operating as a part-time club in the Conference. The limited training opportunities and the travel versus work pressures that players experience in this national league have a tangible bearing on performance. Rowley explains that his manager, Ken McKenna, who resigned on May 9, believed he had "a decent mid-table side at least" if it weren't for the part-time constraints.
As recently as 2002 the club were heavily in debt, a burden that was cleared only last year. Rowley is understandably proud that Altrincham no longer owe a penny but he is equally critical of the powers that be who allow clubs to operate beyond their means. He sees himself and his committee as "custodians of the club" and the pride Rowley speaks of comes from the knowledge that they will continue to ensure long-term survival of the club. He is "not prepared to put that [survival] at jeopardy by spending money that we haven't got".
This sentiment is echoed by other part-time sides knowing that in reality they are not competing on a level playing field. Back in early April Garry Wilson, Eastbourne Borough's manager, spoke about how much harder it is year-on-year for part-time clubs to compete. He explained that "the [Conference] league's moved on so much since we joined it three years ago" with more clubs at this level choosing to go full-time. Wilson sounded genuinely disheartened about this trend; the fact he was being interviewed while on a tortuous Tuesday evening coach journey from the south coast to Gateshead probably didn't help his mood.
While part-time clubs may argue that they are in effect penalised for managing their finances responsibly, there is an acceptance they do have a choice: to go full-time and gamble on success or to stay part-time and accept the inherent difficulties. Rowley is adamant that his choice was a pragmatic one, believing that to be a sustainable full-time club attendances need to average over 2,000. This season Altrincham achieved roughly half that figure.
Perhaps relegation for Altrincham is a blessing in disguise? Of course, the answer in this corner of Cheshire is a resounding "no". The drop down will impact on the club's finances, with an estimated six-figure reduction in income next season as the size of away support significantly diminishes and sponsors naturally drift away. The answer was also plain to see in the reaction on the terraces and on the pitch during and after the game. In the end, with relegation confirmed, all that was left at Moss Lane was a half-hearted pitch invasion as the majority of the home support slowly drifted away, some annoyed with the team, others applauding their season's efforts.
One hopes that the fans' despair is tempered by recognition that the future of their club is in good hands. Altrincham may not be happy about playing next season in the Conference North – but at least they can.

Carolyn Ann "Callie" Khouri (born November 27, 1957) is a film and television screenwriter, producer, and director. In 1992 she won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen for the film Thelma & Louise, which was controversial upon its release, but which subsequently became a classic. It was inducted into the Library of Congress National Film Registry in December 2016.

National Womens History Museum
Khouri's most recent movie, Mad Money, was released in 2008. On October 10, 2012, Khouri's television series, Nashville, premiered on ABC. The critics awarded it strong reviews. In 2016, Nashville moved to CMT.
Carolyn Ann (Callie) Khouri was born in San Antonio, Texas, but was brought up in Kentucky. Her family name is of Christian Arab origin, meaning priest in the Arabic language. Khouri's interest in theatre arts began when she took part in high school plays. Following her graduation from St Mary's High School in Paducah, Kentucky, she studied landscape architecture at Purdue University before changing her major to drama. Khouri dropped out of Purdue and moved to Los Angeles, California where she waited tables and studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute and with acting teacher, Peggy Feury. She soon realized that being an actress was not her destiny: "I can't stand people looking at me," says Khouri.
In 1985, she took her first step toward "film production by pursuing a position as a commercial and music video production assistant." From 1996 to 1998, and from 2000 to 2002, Khouri served on the Writers Guild of America board of directors; she sat on the board of trustees of the Writer's Guild Foundation from 2001 to 2004. She was a member of Hollywood Women's Political Committee, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting Women's Media Watch Project.
On June 2, 1990, she married David Weaver Warfield, a writer and a producer. She later divorced him, and married musician T Bone Burnett in 2009.
Khouri is a screenwriter, director, producer, feminist, lecturer, and author of non-fiction. She also worked as an actress, lecturer, and waiter in Nashville. While working for a company that made commercials and music videos, she began writing Thelma & Louise, her first produced screenplay. Thelma & Louise won Khouri the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, a Golden Globe Award, and a PEN Literary Award, as well as the London Film Critics Circle Award for Film of the Year and a nomination for Best Original Screenplay from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. According to an interview done by David Konow, a scholarly author and journalist, Callie Khouri mentioned her experience filming her first major film, Thelma & Louise. "While I was writing Thelma and Louise, it was the most fun I had ever had in my life, bar none," she says. "It was such a pure experience. There was no self-censorship there, there was no second guessing. From a creative standpoint, it was the freest I had ever been in my life. I loved every moment I got to spend time with those characters. Nothing came close to it, including winning all the awards and everything else. As much fun as all that was, it wasn't as much fun as sitting alone in a crummy office on Vine at 2 in the morning writing that screenplay." At the Oscar ceremony she said, "for everyone who wanted to see a happy ending for 'Thelma and Louise', for me this is it," brandishing the statue high. After winning the Academy Awards for her Best Screenplay, she felt motivated enough to continue on with her career and express "her feelings about the lack of female directors in Hollywood", not to mention that most of her career began because of her stand on women's rights. In an interview done by The Huffington Post, she addressed that adult women "are a market that I feel is underserved in the entertainment population at large. I don't see the kind of women represented that I know or that I'm attracted to. I really want to try to write more nuanced, less simplistic kind of stuff, and its hard to find a place to do that."
"At first I had no desire to write screenplays. I kind of wished I had because I was reaching the end of my time producing music videos. I was struggling so hard to figure out what it was that I was supposed to be doing. I kept thinking I'm supposed to be doing something creative. I can't believe I have such a knack for the vernacular and I don't have anywhere to apply it." "I felt I had not found my true path. And then a series of events occurred that led me to the point where I didn't have anything to lose if I wrote a screenplay." She began writing sitcoms with a comedian friend but was plagued by second thoughts about her work. Khouri was frustrated and kept "contemplating and meditating" until she got this idea of "two women going on a crime spree." She felt as if a light bulb had gone on over her head, making her more interested in the idea.
She originally created the character Louise as a woman living in Texas who works as a communication secretary, "somebody sitting behind one of those big desks with a headset on directing people and taking calls and all that stuff." She imagined that Louise considered herself a liability as an employee, and that women would never be able to achieve power. This version of Louise would always remain narrow in her ambitions. someone "who never realized women could be executives until she saw one come in the front door."
The character Thelma, on the other hand, was first written as a character who "had kids and stuff like that, but I realized that she couldn't have kids. The idea that Darryl wanted her to wait, because the kids would be a sacrifice for him financially, fit perfectly. And, of course, she's really a child herself. I had to set it up that way. I love to laugh, and I wanted this to be a movie you were enjoying and having a good time with because you were watching these women get their lives. Even though they would lose them, they were becoming more and more themselves. It was a beautiful experience, a liberating experience to watch that."
Her second film as a writer, the romantic comedy-drama Something to Talk About (1995), earned mixed reviews from critics.
In June 2002, Khouri made her directorial debut with her adaptation of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, which grossed a total of $73,839,240 worldwide. The film opened at number two in the box office behind The Sum of All Fears's second weekend.
In 2006, Khouri created, wrote and directed the pilot for the legal television series Hollis & Rae that was produced by Steven Bochco.
Khouri directed Mad Money in 2008, a crime-caper film starring Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, and Katie Holmes.
In 2012 she developed ABC's country music drama series, Nashville, starring Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere. Khouri's husband T Bone Burnett was the show's executive music producer and composer for the first season. Leaving the show shortly after the first season production wrapped, Burnett later stated that he was upset with television executives' treatment of his wife. His assistant and the managing producer Buddy Miller took over for Burnett in season two. Nashville received positive reviews from critics, and Khouri continued on the show without Burnett's involvement.
Khouri works as a part-time lecturer of theatre arts. She has taught a master class on film-making at the Athena Film Festival at Barnard College in New York City, as well as a writing and directing course at the Arts Initiative Columbia University in New York, featuring Thelma & Louise.
Aside from teaching and film-making, Khouri devotes time to feminist organizations. "Don't you think talking about it is important, making the next generation understand that things are still not right for women?" says Khouri. "I feel like I owe aspiring writers at least the warning that they are picking maybe the hardest thing there is to do in the business," she says. "It doesn't matter any more how good you are. In some ways, it never really did. Bad movies get made as often as good ones, but so few movies get made now, period. If you write for a studio, you may be one of eight writers, so it's not like you can have an artistic vision of your own and achieve it solely through screenwriting. I was very lucky because Ridley really wanted to tell Thelma & Louise. He wanted to make the movie I wanted to make. But often times that's not the case at all. They think your script is a good idea and that's all. So they buy it and then they hire two or three other people to take a whack at it and it can be a very disappointing thing."
According to an interview in Variety Khouri takes an opposing approach toward guns in social media: "in other countries where they have violent video games but less access to guns, they have less mass shootings. I have a really hard time saying, if there were no violent games, people would stop shooting each other. I think that until they have no way of shooting each other, they won't stop." says Khouri. "We have a speed limit. Why can't we have a bullet limit? The idea that we don't need limits stricter than we have now on guns is absolutely insane. Because ultimately, people don't kill people — guns kill people, and people with guns kill people." She also argued that America has lost its moral compass and that "it's worse than it's its ever been!" in the matters of gun control. She claimed that there is no quick route to end gun control because Hollywood actors such as Sylvester Stallone "make a fortune from violence. Do you think those types of movies will stop getting made? I don't," says Khouri.
The National Women's History Museum (NWHM) is a non-profit organization that recognizes powerful women who contribute toward feminist filmmaking, such as Callie Khouri and Susan Sarandon. It also receives support, as well as generous donations, from other women such as Shonda Rhimes, Meryl Streep, and Frances Fisher. On August 23, 2014, Callie Khouri was honored by the National Women's History Museum and NWHM Los Angeles Council in "Women Making History Brunch" at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California, for winning an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and WGA. "She's revolutionary," said Geena Davis on working with Khouri, who also is the creator and executive producer of Nashville." "She creates characters that are in charge of their own fate to the bitter end. Female characters who are in charge of themselves."

BT have announced a competition in partnership with the BBC to find the new voice of the speaking clock.
Details of how to apply are available on the BBC One Show website, with the winner being announced in November.
Celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, this iconic service is now called Timeline. It was created on 24th July 1936, for the purpose of providing the exact time to people without a clock or watch. Prior to this, people would ring the telephone exchange operator if they needed to check the time.
Since 2007, the voice of the speaking clock has been provided by Sara Mendes da Costa, who herself won a competition for the honour. She will now be a judge on the new panel to find the next successor.
The speaking clock receives its time from the atomic clocks at the National Physical Laboratory, the UK's official time-keeper. In turn, the National Physical Laboratory is a Bodet customer, and has their Wireless Clock System installed in their premises, along with one hundred Bodet clocks.
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the UK's National Measurement Institute, and is a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards, science and technology available. As such, they can only rely on the most accurate Clock System themselves when it comes to displaying synchronised time across their organisation.
If you would be interested in purchasing an equally accurate Bodet Clock System tailored for the specific needs of your organisation, please contact us.

Fox 8 News featured Willoughby-Eastlake teachers and students conducting their ALICE Training drill. The alarm went off; teachers secure classrooms, and students hide in their classrooms. More than 8,000 students participated in the drill, which has now been a regular part of their school lives.
Students go through ALICE training
"When I was in grade school we did the weather drills and fire drills. There wasn't anything like this. It kind of breaks your heart," Willowick's fire chief said, as thousands of Willoughby-Eastlake students got livesaving training -- this one was about how to survive an active shooter inside the school.
Posted by Fox 8 News on Monday, October 15, 2018
Video: Students go through ALICE training | Fox 8 News | Oct 15, 2018
ALICE Training stands for Alert - Lockdown - Inform - Counter - Evacuate. The ALICE Training Institute conducts training for schools and businesses. Since 2000, they have trained more than 10,000 organizations. Retired police officer Greg Crane developed the program.
Video: ALICE Training Overview | ALICE Training Institute | Oct 10, 2018
Aside from going through the drill, Willoughby-Eastlake students learned about active shooter events. Children watched information videos that gave detailed instructions on what to do. Teachers also talked about specialized skills that can help their students survive. In one class, a teacher asks what to do when you encounter the shooter in a hallway. A boy raises his hand and answers, "run zigzag down the hall and make strange noises."
Increase in Active Shooter Incidents
Survival strategies are usually not something that children should be a part of. Before the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, threats in school were about failing grades and bullying. But, this is the reality that our teachers and students are facing. According to an FBI report in 2018, there were 27 incidents in the USA. From 2000 to 2017, there were 250 active shooter events.
Source: Active Shooter Incidents in the United States in 2018, the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center at Texas State University and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 2018.
FBI Special Agent Christopher Combs told CNN that active shooter events are increasing. He says, "If you look at the numbers, we're looking at an active shooter every other week in this country." Since July 2019, there have been four active shooter events in the U.S.
After the drill, Willoughby-Eastlake Superintendent Steve Thompson talked to Fox 8 News. He said, "A feeling that comes is just sadness, that that's what we have to do. [It's] almost para-military train children to avoid an active shooter. But, it just keeps happening, and it's just a part of our society."
Active shooter incidents are not confined to schools. Businesses, commercial, and public spaces have been targeted. There have been 105 incidents in offices between 2000 to 2017, making up 42% of all active shooter events.

Training for violence in the workplace has also fallen to companies' responsibilities. Business representatives and safety consultants attended ALICE Training held in Golden, Colorado. Many of the participants traveled to learn from the two-day workshop.
Rene Flores, one of the participants, felt that the training is now a necessity. He said, "To me, it's not a matter of if, but when the next shooting will happen. I just want to always be prepared. Always know my options."
Preparing for Any Incident
The goal of ALICE Training is to elicit an automatic response when an active shooting incident occurs. Engage PEO's VP of Risk Management Julie Croushore talked about it in Business.com. She said, "Employees' responses should be automatic because they have been trained and have practiced what to do."
Most active shooting incident ends within minutes from when it started. Every single second count. "Employers should also utilize the ALICE method for training: alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate," Croushore adds.
Teachers and students highly benefit from getting ALICE Training. When handling high-pressure situations, there's a need for immediate and automatic actions. Going through ALICE Training help improve their responses in this type of conditions.
CBS This Morning also showed how Beverly Gardens Elementary School in Ohio conducts its ALICE drills. Since the Sandy Hook Shooting in 2012, students and teachers regularly take part in these drills.
Video: Here's what an active shooter drill for 4th graders looks like | CBS This Morning | Oct 18, 2018
CBS Reporter Vladimir Duthiers asked the opinions of the fourth graders on the drill. He asks a student named Samara if she feels safe because of the drills. Samara answers, "Yes. Because if somebody would've actually come in here, we would be safe because we know everything to do."
More than preparing for an active shooter event, the ALICE training brings peace of mind. Parents of the fourth graders were also present during the drill to see what happens. For some of them, it was their first time witnessing the training themselves.
A parent said, "I was watching them, and I felt very emotional seeing what their reality is day-to-day. [And um,] But, I also feel some reassurance knowing that the school is prepared and they do the drills. It really seemed like the kids knew exactly what to do."
Is Active Shooter Training Traumatizing Everyone?
Not everyone agrees in implementing active shooter drills. For more than a decade, training for active shooter situations has increased. Nine out of ten schools conduct drills to students and teachers.
The increase in active shooter drills has affected students with trauma and stress. David Langer, a Psychology Professor at Suffolk University stresses this point. He said, "Active shooter drills can be quite scary and potentially quite traumatizing for children." Adding to the fact that some drills now include fake blood and pellet guns to make it more realistic.

At the Troy Buchanan High School in Missouri, a group of drama students used fake blood make up for their drill. In the beginning, they were full of energy and excitement for their role in the training. But, after the drill, it was clear that some volunteers were shaken up. According to NBC News, a girl who volunteered to be one of the victims did not get up immediately after the drill. She was distraught and was sobbing after having gone through the experience.

In Indiana, teachers were led into a classroom and shot at with pellet guns. It caused physical and mental injuries. They appealed to lawmakers to prohibit practice shooting during mandated emergency drills.
Students admitted to having trauma from the drills. Despite these, experts emphasize that having the drills are necessary. Experts do emphasize that counseling is needed to make sure the shock is not permanent. One of the essential to-do's is to explain the drills in detail to the students. Schools that do not do this necessary precaution end up giving anxiety to the children.
source http://neatoday.org
Langer emphasized that traumatizing the students will be counterproductive to the goal. He says, "I think it's pretty clear that if you're going to have drills, they should be done in the least anxiety-provoking way possible and focused on what behaviors you're looking to teach."
Gershon Ben Keren, an instructor at Active Shooter Boston, suggests introducing drills gradually. Conducting a knowledge-based discussion first, then work in drills on evacuation and barricading.
After each drill, it's also best for schools to check-in with each student and to provide them counseling.
Lockdown vs. Counter
Another concern about the ALICE Training is its Counter protocol. Parents do not like that this is part of the ALICE Training. School security expert Ken Trump says it is a high risk to interfere with an active shooter.
Lockdown Protocol is defined as barricading yourself inside a room to stop an intruder from coming in. Meanwhile, Counter Protocol is defending yourself from a violent attacker. Lieutenant Joe Hendry, an ALICE Instructor, further explains the difference in a video.
Video: What is Counter? | ALICE Training Institute | Jan 16, 2015
Hendry explains that Counter protocol does not mean fighting the active shooter. He says, "What we're teaching them is [that] there are very simple proactive things that you can do in order to mitigate casualties during [the] incident." Meanwhile, Lockdown protocol emphasizes the need for minimal movements. He adds, "Where [in] lockdown, we weren't allowed to move. Under ALICE, movement is paramount in our response."
The difference between countering and fighting was also emphasized in What is Counter? video. This was to address another type of active shooter training, the Run. Hide. Fight. Protocol. Developed by the Department of Homeland Security and the City of Houston, Texas, the Run. Hide. Fight. is an immediate active shooter training response fit for adults rather than children. When an opportunity arises, people are encouraged to fight the active shooter to stop him.
Video: RUN. HIDE. FIGHT.® Surviving an Active Shooter Event | City of Houston | Jul 23, 2012
Many criticized both the Counter and Fight protocols for being too high-risk. Thus, many claims that Lockdown protocols are more effective than Counter protocols. During high-pressure situations, interfering with an active shooter is not ideal. Not everyone is equipped to deal with tackling a violent threat. Kenneth Trump, President of National School Safety and Security Services, stressed Lockdown protocol works in most cases. He says, "The goal is to stay out of harm's way and to reduce their visibility." In ALICE Training, participants must barricade doors whenever there is an alert. The tricky part of barricading public doors is that most do not have locks. Some doors also open in a different direction. In this case, people need to know how to barricade a door that opens out. Youtube commenters who watched Beverly Gardens Elementary School's drill pointed out mistakes. The teacher and students barricaded the doors wrongly.
Comments: Here's what an active shooter drill for 4th graders looks like | CBS This Morning YouTube | Oct 18, 2018
They barricaded an outward-opening door by stacking tables and chairs against it. Aside from making a lot of noise, the tables and chairs did not secure the classroom.
Outward-opening doors are a standard in public spaces. It is part of building codes against fires and accessibility for disabled people. These doors are difficult to barricade; which is why we need lockdown devices for these doors.
Others also pointed out that the teacher and students created noise in doing so. Noise creates attention; which anyone should avoid during an active shooter situation.
Lockdown devices like The Sleeve provide extra security. Plus, they follow ALICE Training.
For inward-opening doors use the Rampart.
In selecting the appropriate lockdown device, here are some considerations:
Easy-to-use during a high-tense situation
Accessible (stored near the door or in a purse)
Does not create noise when installing or activating
Finding the right lockdown device eliminates noise and extra movements. No one will worry about attracting the attention of an active shooter.
Preparation Saves Lives
Until now, debates about ALICE Training and its implementation are still a hot topic. Many are contemplating if risking the trauma of ALICE training helps at all. Others suggest that there should be less violence during the drills.
One thing is sure: preparing for the worst can save lives.
As Croushore said, "responses should be automatic." Without going through the drills, panic and fear will take over. Most often, people will freeze with inaction. Attending ALICE training helps people overcome the initial panic. From there, they start working through the protocols.
Getting through an ALICE training also gives family and loved ones their peace of mind. The knowledge that people know what to do provides hope. If anyone is in any active shooter situation, he or she can survive.
Preparing tools such as lockdown devices and alarms help in applying ALICE training. Making these tools accessible and ready-to-use saves time and effort.
Schools conduct at least two active shooter drills in a year. Businesses are also conducting safety training and drills in the workplace. Since there's no solution yet on how to stop an active shooter incidents, the best we could do is prepare for it.

Brought to you by This Feeling, Scottish five-piece Vida took to the stage at Manchester's own indie music hub, Jimmy's on Saturday 5 May. Branded by rock and roll icon Noel Gallagher himself, This Feeling is set to be "The best club in the UK for future rock n roll stars", making it unsurprising that up along with support acts Anhedonia and Wulfman Fury, Vida brought to the stage an energetic fresh take on Britpop.
Originating from Alloa, Scotland, Vida began their performance by going straight into the music blaring their guitars which bared resemblance to B-side Oasis and their soulful infused lyrics. After their introductory song, Let You Believe, lead singer Pollock (Jamie) expressed his love to Manchester to the crowded garage rock esque basement, announcing "Manchester we're Vida let's have it" which is followed by chants from the audience all of whom were there to see Vida. In true Britpop style the audience came to the venue with their paisley shirts and parkas intact, which only shows the true dedication to the band considering it was one of the warmest days of the year.
Vida were engaged with their performance from start to finish, unlike many bands who play their music and leave, Vida preformed each song with deafening enthusiasm making them stand out as professionals within the indie-rock scene and a force to be reckoned with. Their melancholic vocals compiled influences such as the tone and tempo of Oasis with the carefree and slightly punk attitude of Arctic Monkey's in their Whatever People Say I Am era.
Support acts Wulfman Fury and Anhedonia certainly made waves with the audience. Garage rock band and Sheffield natives, Wulfman Fury sound has been heavily influenced by the likes of Miles Kane and is a perfect example of how rock music can transcend into psychedelic sounds preforming songs about sleep paralysis which with the mellow guitars sounds like a whimsical daydream. Teamed with soulful bops and catchy riffs, Wulfman Fury is perfect easy listening summer music. Anhedonia however brought an undeniable edge to the evening possessing all the aspects of punk rock with heavy drumming and the purposeful out of tune vocals.
Vida radiated beams of energy, while still maintaining that laid-back kind of cool. Their frontman never stopped jumping and darting around to sharp riffs whilst headbanging, making use of the small stage whilst still managing to hit every note and simultaneously play guitar. His voice had a distinctive edge about it, when preforming their single Fade Away, the vocals sounded were smooth and relaxed which went hand in hand with the bittersweet lyrics, despite this their husky Scottish tone was noticeably present providing a unique sound. The energy of the rest of the band was also notable, all the members fed off each other's energy which sent the audience into a frenzy. Despite Jimmy's venue room only being a quaint little basement, Vida had the energy and presence of an arena performance which was reflected in the multiple pits and circles made by the audience with a couple attempts of crowd surfing at the back of the room.


excludes most of the horizon.
an infinite silence with this voice.
to shipwreck in this sea, is sweet.

OnePlus 2, as you know, is a good-old device launched way back in mid 2015. The fate of the device that shipped with Android Lollipop was, perhaps, to get only a single major update. Since, the Chinese OEM, OnePlus has decided not to update the device further and halted the support while on Android Marshmallow. However, kudos to LineageOS team who've done a great job in keeping the device rejuvenated by the LineageOS 14.1 and now to the official build of latest LineageOS 15.1. Let' see how to install LineageOS 15.1 on OnePlus 2.
The XDA developer with the pseudo-name Ozzy2403, is behind the development of Android Oreo 8.1 based LineageOS 15.1 for the OnePlus 2. In fact, the same developer was responsible for making the official LineageOS 14.1 based on Andriod Nougat possible for the device earlier. Hence, the OnePlus 2 users are lucky enough to have such talented devs for the development of this powerful device.
That said, we're here to share the step-by-step guide on how to install the LineageOS 15.1 on OnePlus 2. Without wasting much time, let's see how it's done below.
Note: Before proceeding. Make sure that the bootloader is unlocked and you've installed a compatible TWRP custom recovery on your OnePlus 2.
LineageOS 15.1 ROM file for OnePlus 2, GApps(Pico recommended), TWRP and unlocked bootloader as mentioned above in notes. Last but not the least, patience!
Download the LOS 15.1 update either from the links below or through the built-in updater app. If you download it from the updater app, you'll need to use the "export" option in the menu to save the build to your internal storage.
(Optional) Download one of the superuser packages, either Magisk, SuperSu or the LOS root-binary. If and only if root is needed for you.
Flash the LineageOS 15.1 build, and then the Gapps. If root is preferred then flash the superuser package of your choice as well.
Important: GApps are necessary for the OS to boot. Moreover, the LOS 15.1 for OnePlus 2 is in its initial developement stage, hence you may encounter some bugs or glitches. However, the build is pretty stable and worth as the daily driver.
The only difference here is that you will not be able to download the latest LOS 15.1 via in-built updater app. Hence, you need to download the ROM file from the link we've given at this post's end. However, here is the brief steps.
Download LOS 15.1 ROM and suitable GApps from the downloads.
Do a full-wipe (System, Internal Storage, Dalvik Caches and Data Partition).
Flash the LOS 15.1 flashable zip and then followed by GApps.
Flash any preferred root binary if you intend to use the system rooted.
Now, that's our guide on how to install LineageOS 15.1 on OnePlus 2. In case if you've any doubts, do let us know in the comments section.
If you have any query regarding hte how to install LineageOS 15.1 on OnePlus 2 guide. Then ask us in the comments below.


Our study asked over 500 HRs what they thought were the advantages of offering workplace eye care. A pleasing 42% cited improved health and wellbeing, due to the early detection of illnesses through an eye examination. Improved productivity was the advantage given by 37% of respondents, due to a reduction of ailments such as headaches and tired eyes. Over a third, 35%, believed improved morale is a key advantage of eye care at work.
It is great to be able to determine that employers now establish the link between eye care and more general health and wellbeing. An eye examination can not only test the eyesight and check the health of the eye, it can also play an important role in detecting serious illnesses and conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, tumours and risk of stroke. It is in this way that they can play a significant part in supporting the health and wellbeing of employees.
An eye examination can also help with more minor problems like headaches, migraine and dry or tired eyes. Whilst these conditions are not on the same scale as diabetes and heart disease, they nonetheless have an effect on wellbeing and, therefore, the productivity of employees.
There is no overall magic bullet, but it is great that something so simple and cost-effective as eye care is now recognised as playing a role in improving the wellbeing of employees and, in turn, increasing morale and productivity.
In addition to the health benefits, the major advantages of eye care were reported to be linked to cost-effectiveness, with over a third of respondents, 31%, appreciating the low cost.
Eye care is now being understood as both physically effective and cost effective, making it highly valued: 34% of employers said it is a highly-valued benefit. It is clear that the message is being understood by employers and HR professionals, the important thing now is to ensure that this message is effectively communicated to their employees as well.

In addition to his prolific narrative output, director Martin Scorsese has also built up a healthy body of work on the side that focused on his personal fascinations with people and culture from a documentary standpoint. He had previously explored his Italian heritage through the stories of his parents in ITALIANAMERICAN (1974), and chronicled The Band's final farewell concert in 1978's THE LAST WALTZ. For his next documentary work, Scorsese turned his camera on a bit player who could be found in several of his early narrative features—Steven Prince.
Best known for his role as the gun-dealer Easy Andy in 1976's TAXI DRIVER, Prince has arguably lived an even wilder life than Scorsese's fictional protagonists. Inspired by Prince's wild stories and effortless charm as a raconteur, Scorsese pulled together producer/co-editor Bert Lovitt and his TAXI DRIVER cinematographer Michael Chapman to make AMERICAN BOY: A PROFILE OF STEVEN PRINCE (1978). Filmed over the course of fifteen hours in a nondescript house in Los Angeles, Prince captivates Scorsese and his crew with various stories from his life—his days as a road manager for the biggest bands of the 70's… his tales of drug addiction… even the time he shot and killed a guy who was trying to rob a gas station he worked at.
AMERICAN BOY is shot in the improvisational, unstructured way that Scorsese shot ITALIANAMERICAN, making the two documentaries companion pieces of sorts. One might think an hour-long film about a guy sitting around a couch and telling stories might be boring, but Prince's personal eccentricities and lively stories make for a compelling watch. Scorsese organizes these stories into vaguely-defined chapters, punctuating them with home movie footage of Prince as a young boy.
At this stage in his career, Scorsese appears to have a few stylistic trademarks he regularly implements in his documentary work. As he does in AMERICAN BOY, he appears onscreen himself as he interviews his subjects, making for a very personal, intimate mood. There's also the use of rock music, evidenced here by the inclusion of a Neil Young track during the opening and closing credits. There's even a quick bout of violence—Prince and another man playfully wrestle each other—and Scorsese captures it in the same chaotic, spontaneous way in which he depicts fictional violence in his features.
AMERICAN BOY is undoubtedly an oft-overlooked work within Scorsese's filmography, but it has influenced pop culture in an unexpected way. At one point in the story, Prince recounts the story of how he saved someone who had overdosed on drugs by stabbing him in the heart and injecting him with adrenaline. This story reportedly inspired Quentin Tarantino to include a cinematic depiction of it in his 1994 breakout film, PULP FICTION. In relation to Scorsese's work as a director, AMERICAN BOY doesn't show a distinct growth—in fact, it shows Scorsese at something of a low point; his dabbling with drugs and surrounding lifestyle can be seen at their most intimate here. The film makes no mention of Scorsese's personal drug use, nor does Scorsese's appearance clue us into cocaine addiction. Yet, the dangers of his lifestyle hang in the air like the Ghost of Christmas Future. With this in mind, AMERICAN BOY becomes much darker than its intent, telling us just as much about Scorsese's junkie days as it does Prince's.

Argo, Zero Dark Thirty Win Top Prizes at Writers Guild Awards
Lena Dunham at the Writers Guild Awards 2013
"This is such a low profile event," said writer-comedian Mike Birbiglia of the Writers Guild Awards held last night. "I'm not sure it's even happening."
I've always enjoyed the Writers Guild Awards, held simultaneously in New York and Los Angeles, because it's the only awards show that celebrates writers, who know how to write amusing speeches, typically about how under appreciated and underpaid they are and about how they're always struggling to find their next gig.
The WGAs are not televised. There's not much food, but plenty of booze, and guests get really drunk. The winners and presenters also drop F-bombs, tell raunchy jokes and trade insults, so the event is almost as much a celebrity roast as it is an awards show.
Since its inception in 1949, annually the WGAs have honored writing for film, television, and radio. In more recent years, they've added the categories of new media and video games.
Actor Richard Kind hosted the New York event, which was at B.B. King's, a casual club in Times Square. Guests included Gina Gershon, Louis C.K, Lucy Alibar, Bobby Cannavale, blue insult comic Lisa Lampanelli, Fred Armisen, Mike Birbiglia, John McLaughlin ("Black Swan"), and Terry George ("Hotel Rwanda").
"Castle" star Nathan Fillion hosted the West Coast counterpart at the JW Marriott, a five-star luxury hotel. Their celebrity wattage included Jessica Chastain, Julie Bowen, Jane Lynch, Steven Spielberg, James Gandolfini, Francis Ford Coppola, Amy Poehler and Tobey Maguire.
The ongoing joke of the evening is the competitiveness and even animosities between the two branches of the WGA, with each coast announcing their winners separately. This means one coast gets the news before the other, so they ask you not to tweet the winners' names.
Kind, who told me before the awards show that he wrote his own gags and was nervous about bombing, turned out to be hysterically funny. In one sketch, he came on stage dressed as Ayatollah in a beard, robe and prayer cape. "I want to tell you I stand in solidarity with the WGA East. We also have something in common: I also hate the West."
The fact is the WGA's picks for best original and adapted screenplays are harbingers of golden statuettes next week, so Oscar prognosticators pay attention. Last year the WGA awarded "Midnight in Paris" by Woody Allen, and "The Descendants" by Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash best adapted and original screenplays awards respectively. Both went on to win Oscars.
Last night the big winner for adapted screenplay was "Argo," written by Chris Terrio. Richard Kind, who has a cameo in "Argo," accepted the award on behalf of Terrio. "It's a special movie that honors America and Hollywood," said Kind. "It's taut. It's beautifully directed."
With yet another award win for the Ben Affleck CIA hostage thriller, it's also the Oscar frontrunner for both best adapted screenplay and best motion picture.
The other big prize, for original screenplay, went to Mark Boal for Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty." This win was a surprise. The Osama bin Laden thriller had fallen off of the Oscar bandwagon recently, probably over the torture controversy, but this win has given it a new boost. (Boal received a WGA award in 2010 for best original screenplay for Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker," and he later went on to win the Oscar.)
The WGA documentary prize went to the Sony Pictures Classics movie "Searching for Sugar Man," by Malik Bendjellou. The feel-good film about singer-songwriter Rodriguez, a rock icon to South Africans, is now a lock for an Oscar.
If the New York WGAs didn't have the glitz of the Hollywood counterpart, it did have "Girls" creator Lena Dunham, who was the center of attention. Even Gina Gershon, who was a presenter, singled out Dunham from the stage and told her how much she'd like to be a guest on her show.
Dunham and her co-writers — Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin, Dunham, Sarah Heyward, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Jenni Konner, Deborah Schoeneman and Dan Sterling — won for best new series, besting "The Mindy Project," "Nashville," "The Newsroom" and "Veep."
Dunham, her hair in a stylish pixie cut, wore a strapless black-and-white animal print dress and strappy stilettos, and looked nothing like her "Girls" character Hannah. (She's also learned how to pose on the red carpet; she jutted out one hip and seductively lowered her chin for the photographers.)
Jonathan Ames, who presented the award to Dunham, chugged from an "I Love New York "coffee mug, which he claimed was "loaded with vodka and club soda." As he did last year, he whined about the cancellation of his HBO show, "Bored to Death." "A terrible title right from the start," he lamented. For more than 20 minutes, the self-absorbed writer riffed on everything from pubic hair to his youthful stint in rehab.
By the time he got around to giving Dunham the best series award, she joked, "I'm so anxious accepting this award, from you particularly."
She went on to say, "There are a lot of parts of the television making process that interest me, but it all comes from writing for me, and I feel it's such a gift to do this as a job. It's a gift to be in a room with so many people I admire."
Dunham told a story about how she first met insult comic Lisa Lampanelli, a presenter last night, whose material was so blue most of it can't be repeated here.
Dunham recalled, "I spent New Year's Eve when I was 15 watching Lisa Lampanelli at Caroline's Comedy Club with my mother, and we went up to her afterwards, and my mother told her about me, 'She wants to be you.' And "Lisa went, 'What? A…," and used an expletive we can't quote on a family site.
Afterwards Ames rambled on and finally presented Louis C.K. with the best comedy series award for "Louie." Louis C.K. told him, "Please, just shut up."
"I still regret coming here," Louis C. K. joked. "I say I do everything on my own but I really don't. I take all the money and the credit." Of his co-writers Pamela Adlon and Vernon Chatman, who joined him on stage, he added, "They come up with beautiful ideas."
Early in the evening, the WGA East coast honored Nora Ephron with a tribute given by writer Meg Wolitzer, who spoke of Ephron's friendship and support of young women writers. (Dunham, when accepting her award for best new series, remarked about how fortunate she was to be one of those women who benefitted from Ephron's encouragement.)
A highlight of the tribute included clips from Ephron's many movies and interviews. And then there were Ephron's witty observations: "If pregnancy were a book, they would cut off the last two chapters." Also, "When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that somebody in the house is happy to see you."
Other winners last night included the writers of "Breaking Bad" (Drama Series), "Hatfields & McCoys," – Nights Two and Three (Long form – original) and "Game Change" (Long form-adapted).
The Writers Guild of America, East, also presented special honors to David Koepp ("Jurassic Park") – Ian McClellan Hunter Award for Career Achievement in Writing, and Bob Schneider – Richard E. Jablow Award for devoted service to the Guild.
The Writers Guild of America, West presented special honors to:
Tom Stoppard – Laurel Award for Screen for lifetime achievement in screenwriting
Joshua Brand & John Falsey – Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television for lifetime achievement in television writing
Tony Kushner (Lincoln) – Paul Selvin Award for written work which embodies constitutional rights and civil liberties

Everybody Loves Raymond Creator Phil Rosenthal – Valentine Davies Award for community service and humanitarian efforts
Akira Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto, Ryûzô Kikushima, and Hideo Oguni – Jean Renoir Award for Screenwriting Achievement, given to international screenwriters who have advanced the literature of motion pictures and made outstanding contributions to the profession of screenwriter.

Tour South and southern Africa with Africa Outing!
We are a Cape Town-based tour operator which specialises in private, small group and tailor-made tours throughout southern Africa - South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho, Swaziland.
We're a two-person tour operator (Jeremy and Steve). We were both born in South Africa (well, Steve in Namibia – at that stage, effectively part of South Africa – and moved to Cape Town in his "youth"). Both graduated at the University of Cape Town, and became teachers – each of us notching up our longest service at The South African College High School (the oldest school in the country!) in Cape Town. Jeremy taught English and History; Steve Geography.
Teaching was great – but after 12 years, we both grew restless. In school holidays over the years, we had set off in the 4 X 4 and "discovered" most of south and southern Africa (as "whities" at that time, an often mind-blowing experience!). And so we began to think – what about doing this as a living?
The rest is history, as they say – we launched ourselves into the tourism market in 1997, and haven't looked back! We both qualified as National Guides in South Africa, and have taken many South Africa tours into our neighbouring countries – Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe (not for a while, alas, for obvious reasons), Mocambique, Swaziland and Lesotho.
We have chosen to remain small – and to conduct all (where possible) tours ourselves. And so - we'd love to take YOU out in Africa! We'd love to help you plan your tour or safari – anywhere in South or southern Africa! Not only can we put together superb itineraries for small groups, individual private tours and group private tours. We also offer car rental and airport transfers, and can make all your regional flight and accommodation reservations as well.
You let us know your what you want from your tour of South Africa , and we design the tour accordingly. From stunningly luxurious lodges and hotels to intimate, personal guesthouses and Bed & Breakfasts. From Cape Town and the genteel vineyards of the Western Cape region to the Namib and Kalahari Deserts. From the tropical beaches of KwaZulu Natal and Mozambique to the raw African bush of Botswana and the Kruger National Park.
And, don't forget, South Africa is REAL value for money, with a great exchange rate. We look forward to hearing from you!

The laws of the United States have provided a mode of authentication of public records and office papers; these acts are here transcribed.
3. By the Act of May 26, 1790, it is provided, "That the act of the legislatures of the several states shall be authenticated by havig the seal of their respective states affixed thereto: That the records and judicial proceedings of the courts of any state shall be proved or admitted, in any other court within the United States, by the attestation of the clerk, and the seal of the court annexed, if there be a seal, together with a certificate of the judge, chief justice or presiding magistrate, as the case may be, that the said attestation is in due form.

4. The above act having provided only for one species of record, it was necessary to pass the Act of March 27, 1804, to provide for other cases. By this act it is enacted, 1. " That, from and after the passage of this act, all records and exemplifications of office books, which are or may be kept in any public office of any state, not appertaining to a court, shall be proved or admitted in any other court or office in any other state, by the attestation of the keeper of the said records or books, and the seal of his office thereto annexed, if there be a seal, together with a certificate of the presiding justice of the court of the county or district, as the case may be, in which such office is or may be kept or of the governor, the secretary of state, the chancellor or the keeper of the great seal of the state, that the said attestation is in due form, and by the proper officer and the said certificate, if given by the presiding justice of a court, shall be further authenticated by the clerk or prothonotary of the said court, who shall certify, under his hand and the seal of his office, that the said presiding justice is duly commissioned and qualified; or if the said certificate be given by the; governor, the secretary of state, the chancellor or keeper of the great seal, it shall be under the great seal of the state in which the said certificate is made. And the said records and exemplifications, authenticated as aforesaid, shall have such faith and credit given to them in every court and office within the United States, as they have by law or usage in the courts or offices of the state from whence the same are or shall be taken."
5. – 2. That all the provisions of this act, and the act to which this is, a supplement, shall apply, as well to the public acts, records, office books, judicial proceedings, courts, and offices of the respective territories of the United States, and countries subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, as to the public acts, records, office books, judicial proceedings, courts and offices of the several states."
6. The Act of May 8, 1792, s. 12, provides: That all the records and proceedings of the court of appeals, heretofore appointed, previous to the adoption of the present constitution, shall be deposited in the office of the clerk of the supreme court of the United States, who is hereby authorized and directed to give copies of all such records and proceedings, to any person requiring and paying for the same, in like manner as copies of the records and other proceedings of the said court are by law directed to be given; which copies shall have like faith and credit as all other proceedings of the said court."
7. By authentication is also understood whatever act is done either by the party or some other person with a view of causing an instrument to be known and identified as for example, the acknowledgment of a deed by the grantor; the attesting a deed by witnesses. 2 Benth. on Ev. 449.
