Footage from N1 TV of the clash with Andrej Vučić (ph. N1)
Media not aligned with the regime are still under pressure in Serbia. Recently, President Vučić has targeted TV channel N1 for broadcasting exclusive videos that he would rather have hidden
07/08/2017 - Antonela Riha	Belgrade
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić likes to present himself as a democrat devoted to the integration of his country into the EU; a leader who brings stability and reconciliation to the region; a politician working every day to pull Serbia out of poverty and turn it into a paradise for investors. With this message, Vučić has gained the trust of international institutions and of most Serbian voters, who have been supporting his regime for five years now.
His daily efforts – public appearances, statements, and interviews – aimed at creating an ideal image of himself as a politician dedicated solely to improving the lives of citizens are hampered by the few journalists and media outlets who dare to ask uncomfortable questions and report vicissitudes and failures that he would rather hide.
It is on such occasions that President Vučić demonstrates all the strength of his autocratic power, that has allowed him to discredit almost all the institutions of the country and gain direct control over most of the Serbian media.
Almost daily, we are forced to listen to accusations, launched by Vučić and his close associates, against journalists branded as traitors who act against the state; journalist associations allegedly receiving money from abroad to fabricate scandals; mercenaries to the penny of foreign powers threatening the government and the president himself.
So, the Serbian channel of the N1 regional television broadcaster was recently targeted by Vučić for showing exclusive footage of an incident dating back to three years ago, having the president's brother as protagonist.
The scandal that Vučić has failed to hide
The incident took place on September 28, 2014 during the Belgrade LGBT Pride, which is always a high-risk event characterised by a massive presence of law enforcement and the predisposition of a well-defined, enclosed space reserved for the march of the members and supporters of the LGBT community.
During the previous edition, held in October 2010, 140 people were injured and over 200 far-right extremists were put into custody for attacking citizens and vandalising the city centre by burning cars and breaking windows.
So, no surprise when – four years later – police forces were massively deployed to ensure the safety of the event. Numerous teams of journalists covered the event, and N1 cameras filmed a group of agents beating up civilians. As they filmed, journalists were unaware of the identity of the victims, and only later received such information from the police officers who saw them filming.
That same day, N1 TV broadcast the video, reporting – based on the information received from the police – that among the victims were Andrej Vučić, brother of then-premier Aleksandar Vučić, and Predrag Mali, brother of the mayor of Belgrade, as well as some members of the Kobre special military unit that escorted them.
It turned out later that some agents, deployed along the perimeter of the area destined for the event, had stopped Andrej Vučić, his friend, and members of their escort, and – without knowing who they were – had asked them to show their documents. Their refusal and attempt to forcibly move along had triggered the brawl.
The criminal proceeding is still ongoing against eight agents involved in the incident, accused of abuse of office and outrage to public officials in the exercise of their duties, as well as mistreatment and torture. The trial was also attended by N1 journalists who had filmed the controversial episode from a short distance. The footage is the main evidence in the ongoing trial.
Meanwhile, many other issues have emerged that go beyond the scope of this trial. One of them, still waiting for answers, is why the family members of the former premier and the mayor of Belgrade had a military escort, which, according to the law, they were not entitled to.
Attacks and intimidation instead of answers
Every time he has been asked about this affair, Aleksandar Vučić has reduced it to just another attack to his family members and himself. Recently asked, during a programme on Pink TV, about some articles revealing the identity of the men responsible for the attack on journalists during the protest at his settlement ceremony, Vučić responded with a counter-question and new accusations.
"And what about those who beat my brother... are they not thugs? I did not show my tears in public, though I cried for 24 hours. Today, I'm pretty sure that he was deliberately beaten because he is my brother", said Vučić, adding ironically: "and, by coincidence, an American TV [N1, ed.] was just there to film it".
This statement has certainly reached the judges in charge of the trial, and the verdict will tell how they took it.
Reacting to the president's allegations, Jugoslav Ćosić, director of N1 Serbia, revealed the pressures received for the video of the beating. On social media, Ćosić wrote that Vučić's biggest lie is that the team knew that "his brother would be beaten". He also revealed that on the day of the accident he received a phone call by Aleksandar Đorđević, then chief of Serbian intelligence (BIA).
"He told me that Vučić's wish was for us not to release the video of the accident during the Gay Pride. We did", said Ćosić, adding that "after rejecting the suggestion of the head of the BIA not to broadcast the video of the incident featuring Andrej Vučić, I refused the same request from Vučić's head of public relations".
In an interview with Cenzolovka portal, Suzana Vasiljević, Vučić's head of public relations, confirmed the call to Ćosić, explaining that "it was not pressure", but "a friendly request" not to immediately release the video, in order to prepare Andrej's mother and daughter for the news.
Independent media – a threat?
N1 is one of the few media outlets in Serbia still resisting pressures and doing independent information. This regional broadcaster – with production facilities in Belgrade, Zagreb, and Sarajevo – is owned, as the official website says, by the United Group company, whose majority shareholder is the KKR investment fund based in New York. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development holds a share in the capital of the broadcaster, which is the exclusive regional partner of the CNN network.
N1 broadcasts exclusively on cable and covers about 60% of Serbia's territory. In addition to Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia, the channel is also visible in Macedonia, Montenegro, and Slovenia.
Such ownership structure and coverage area, an editorial team composed of well-known professionals, and the fact that Serbian citizens mostly seek information through electronic media are sufficient reasons to turn N1 into a threat to the leadership in power, that is in every way seeking – and largely succeeding – to gain control over the media.
This is not the first time that President Vučić launches heavy charges against N1. In January last year, N1 reporters asked him to comment on a photo showing Health Minister Zlatibor Lončar in the company of the leader of the Zemun clan, involved in the murder of Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić in 2003.
Instead of answering, Vučić accused N1 of collaborating with drug cartels, with "known criminals convicted of drug trafficking and selling drugs to our children", without providing any explanation for such allegations.
N1 is not the only media outlet to suffer from almost daily pressure and denigration by the president, his staff, and regime journalists who support him unconditionally. From the outside, Serbia projects a very different image – but from the inside, the horizon is getting darker and narrower for anyone who seeks answers and questions Vučić's "absolute truths".

SPRINGFIELD -- U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal announced a $1.1 million federal grant on Friday that will be used by DevelopSpringfield to complete rehabilitation of a historic building at 77 Maple St. for office and entrepreneurial uses.
The $1,136,124 grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) will target the former Springfield Female Seminary building at that address. That project, coupled with two adjacent renovated sites, is being developed by DevelopSpringfield as the Lower Maple Business Park.
"This is a significant funding piece that helps us drive forward with this project," said Nick Fyntrilakis, chairman of the DevelopSpringfield board. "The project is an entrepreneurial center providing space and support for start-ups, space they need to excel."
Neal, a Springfield Democrat, said the former school building at 77 Maple St., constructed in 1832, "is one of only 25 known, still-standing buildings in Springfield to pre-date 1835." It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
"By saving this historic treasure and transforming it into a hub for small business use, the team at DevelopSpringfield once again shows what can be done to revitalize our downtown," Neal said.
The building is adjacent to the the historic Merrick-Phelps House, at 83 Maple St., which has been rehabilitated and is also part of the business park. There is also a carriage house to the rear of 77 Maple St. that is part of the project.
DevelopSpringfield's first job is to stabilize the Greek revival home built in 1841 for Solymon Merrick, the inventor of the monkey wrench.
Fyntrilakis praised Neal and the U.S. senators in Massachusetts for their efforts, saying the grant is a "critical investment in this strategic redevelopment" for small business developments.
"The rehabilitation of this historic property will help strengthen this vital corridor and complement other projects taking place in the neighborhood," Fyntrilakis said.
"Simply put, this over $1 million award is a jobs generator," Mayor Domenic J. Sarno said.
The Springfield Female Seminar building was purchased from the Springfield Preservation Trust in 2014 for $35,000.
The total cost of the project at 77 Maple St. is more than $1.4 million due to its historic conditions and complexities to full interior and exterior rehab, Fyntrilakis said.
"We need to invest to make it right," he said, noting that the work should take 18 to 24 months to complete.


February 2, 2019, Deputy Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Tajikistan Manzura Rustamova met with the delegation of the German Agency for International Cooperation GIZ: the Component Manager Trade Facilitation Program in Central Asia Asel Uzagalieva, the Consultant on the implementation of the Trade Facilitation Agreement Bergil Viola and Negmatova Zirina – Consultant on Trade Facilitation of the Tajikistan Office of the German Agency for International Cooperation.
The main subject of the meeting was the discussion of the Trade Facilitation Agreement implementation in the Republic of Tajikistan.
The Deputy Chairman of the CCI RT informed the meeting participants about the Chamber activity related to the implementation of this Agreement. In particular, she noted the importance of the Coordination Committee on Trade Facilitation established by the Decision of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan in December, 2016. The Deputy Chairman of the CCI RT is also a member of this Committee and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Tajikistan takes an active part in all meetings by submitting proposals based on analyzes conducted and on the views of the private sector of the Republic of Tajikistan.
She also noted that a permanent working group consisting of specialists from ministries and departments of the Republic of Tajikistan, including a representative of the CCI RT, has been established under the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Republic of Tajikistan.
In addition, the Deputy Chairman provided full information on the work with the Chamber members related to their support particularly in addressing the issues of increasing the export capacity of the Republic of Tajikistan, and providing information support on normative and legal acts relating to foreign economic activity and the private sector. It was emphasized that in 2016 in cooperation with the International Trade Center, the National Service Bureau was created at the CCI RT to search and disseminate information about foreign trade, obtain data on export requirements in sales markets and respond to specific requests from Tajik exporters through a network of National Information Centers and other means. The main objective of the Service Bureau is to assist domestic exporters in obtaining information on technical regulations, standards, conformity assessment procedures, sanitary and phytosanitary measures in foreign markets and promoting the export potential of goods in demand on the international market, etc. As a part of the implementation of these tasks, the CCI RT regularly organizes trainings, round tables and other activities in the field of export policy.
"In order to fulfill the tasks set in the regular Message of the Leader of the Nation – the President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rakhmon, as well as the implementation of the medium-term program for the support of export potential and import substitution, we consider it appropriate to continue this activity and suggest to consider the issue, taking into account the existing potential and practice of the CCI RT, creating a Single Information Center at the CCI RT, which will contribute to the export potential increase and fully correspond to the tasks specified in the Law "On the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Tajikistan" and the Charter of the CCI RT", she summarised.

Fake US leg band gets pigeon a reprieve in Australia
Rod Mcguirk, Associated Press
Updated 1:26 am EST, Saturday, January 16, 2021
FILE - In this Jan. 13, 2021, file image made from video, a pigeon with a blue leg band stands on a rooftop in Melbourne, Australia. A U.S. bird organization said the leg band identifying the bird as a U.S. racing pigeon was counterfeit, which may save the bird from strict Australian biosecurity policies that would call for a U.S. pigeon to be killed.

FILE - In this Jan. 13, 2021, file image made from video, a pigeon with a blue leg band stands on a rooftop in Melbourne, Australia. A U.S. bird organization said the leg band identifying the bird as a U.S. ... more
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A pigeon that Australia declared a biosecurity risk has received a reprieve after a U.S. bird organization declared its identifying leg band was fake.
The band suggested the bird found in a Melbourne backyard on Dec. 26 was a racing pigeon that had left the U.S. state of Oregon, 13,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) away, two months earlier.
On that basis, Australian authorities on Thursday said they considered the bird a disease risk and planned to kill it.
But Deone Roberts, sport development manager for the Oklahoma-based American Racing Pigeon Union, said on Friday the band was fake.
The band number belongs to a blue bar pigeon in the United States which is not the bird pictured in Australia, she said.
"The bird band in Australia is counterfeit and not traceable," Roberts said. "They do not need to kill him."
Australia's Agriculture Department, which is responsible for biosecurity, agreed that the pigeon dubbed Joe, after U.S. President-elect Joe Biden, was wearing a "fraudulent copy" leg band.
"Following an investigation, the department has concluded that Joe the Pigeon is highly likely to be Australian and does not present a biosecurity risk," it said in a statement.
The department said it will take no further action.
Acting Australian Prime Minister Michael McCormack had earlier said there would be no mercy if the pigeon was from the United States.
"If Joe has come in a way that has not met our strict biosecurity measures, then bad luck Joe, either fly home or face the consequences," McCormack said.
Martin Foley, health minister for Victoria state where Joe is living, had called for the federal government to spare the bird even if it posed a disease risk.
"I would urge the Commonwealth's quarantine officials to show a little bit of compassion," Foley said.
Andy Meddick, a Victorian lawmaker for the minor Animal Justice Party, called for a "pigeon pardon for Joe."
"Should the federal government allow Joe to live, I am happy to seek assurances that he is not a flight risk," Meddick said.
Melbourne resident Kevin Celli-Bird, who found the emaciated bird in his backyard, was surprised by the change of nationality but pleased that the bird he named Joe would not be destroyed.
"I thought this is just a feel-good story and now you guys want to put this pigeon away and I thought it's not on, you know, you can't do that, there has got to be other options," Celli-Bird said of the threat to euthanize.
Celli-Bird had contacted the American Racing Pigeon Union to find the bird's owner based on the number on the leg band. The bands have both a number and a symbol, but Celli-Bird didn't remember the symbol and said he can no longer catch the bird since it has recovered from its initial weakness.
The bird with the genuine leg band had disappeared from a 560-kilometer (350-mile) race in Oregon on Oct. 29, Crooked River Challenge owner Lucas Cramer said.
That bird did not have a racing record that would make it valuable enough to steal its identity, he said.
"That bird didn't finish the race series, it didn't make any money and so its worthless, really," Cramer said.
He said it was possible a pigeon could cross the Pacific on a ship from Oregon to Australia.
"In reality, it could potentially happen, but this isn't the same pigeon. It's not even a racing pigeon," Cramer said.
The bird spends every day in the backyard, sometimes with a native dove on a pergola.
"I might have to change him to Aussie Joe, but he's just the same pigeon," Celli-Bird said.
Lars Scott, a carer at Pigeon Rescue Melbourne, a bird welfare group, said pigeons with American leg bands were not uncommon around the city. A number of Melbourne breeders bought them online and used them for their own record keeping, Scott said.
Australian quarantine authorities are notoriously strict. In 2015, the government threatened to euthanize two Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, after they were smuggled into the country by Hollywood star Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Faced with a 50-hour deadline to leave Australia, the dogs made it out in a chartered jet.

At Capitalise, we work with specialist providers of business property finance who understand that every commercial property project comes with different financial requirements and timelines.

Who Is Property Finance For?
Property finance is now an integral cog of many property developers' business plans, allowing them to quickly access funds until the purchased property can be refinanced through a traditional mortgage, sold on, or rented out.
This form of funding is most commonly used by property developers, construction companies, investors, landlords and businesses wishing to buy their own premises. The sheer size of this established lending market means that it's easier than ever before to secure property finance, and Capitalise can help you to find lenders that match your business needs.
Bridging loans, development loans and commercial mortgages.
These types of commercial property loan are usually secured against the asset being purchased and are generally broken down into three categories – bridging loans, development loans and commercial mortgages.
Bridging loans are almost exclusively used as short-term borrowing solutions to help property developers and other businesses to raise the funds needed to purchase various types of premises.
Due to their short-term nature, they are ideal for buyers who urgently need funds to finish a development, buy a property at auction or as a temporary measure until the property qualifies for a more traditional mortgage.
Development loans aim to provide enough funds to ensure that new development projects can be undertaken and completed, with capital drawn in tranches throughout the project to save on interest costs.
They are structured to run for the term of the project and are paid back once either the property has been refinanced into a more traditional mortgage or sold on to the end user. This style of business property finance is more commonly used for larger scale developments such as office block or flat conversions.
Commercial mortgages are ideal for those who need capital specifically to facilitate the purchase, develop or refurbishment of business properties including retail units, office blocks, practices, restaurants or even pubs. You may choose to use the property as the base for your own business, or even lease it out to tenants as an investment.

The 2021 International Eucharistic Congress was the 52nd edition of the International Eucharistic Congress (IEC) which took place in 2021 in Budapest, Hungary. The one-week event held regularly since 1881 (every four years in recent times) celebrates the Real presence of Christ in the Eucharist according to the teaching of the Catholic Church.

This is the second time that Hungary hosted the International Eucharistic Congress, with the first one also held in Budapest in 1938. Cardinal Péter Erdő, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest saw a great significance for the Catholic Church in Hungary in hosting the event, which is an introduction towards the world.

Preparations
Budapest was named host city by Pope Francis in January 2016, at the end of the 2016 International Eucharistic Congress held in Cebu City, Philippines.

The official start of the preparation was marked by a four-day visit of archbishop Piero Marini, president of the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses. This was the beginning of a four-year preparation period, including the formation of a theologic committee, definition of the theme of the event, as well as organising religious preparation events.

The General Secretariat of the Budapest International Eucharistic Congress was formed, and Péter Erdő nominated its chief secretary, Kornél Fábry (priest of the Diocese of Kaposvár). The secretariat started working in the Primate's Palace in Buda Castle, but it would be provided with its own headquarters in Vörösmarty Street. Eight subcommittees supported its work, responsible for the fields of theology, liturgy, arts, finances, media and event organisation. The theological committee had to define the theme of the congress, and propose a motto by March 2017 for the pope to decide. It was announced that COVID-19 prevention methods such as masks weren't mandatory for visitors and atteendes.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event originally scheduled for September 2020 was postponed for a year.

Opening ceremony

The Opening Ceremony of the 2021 International Eucharistic Congress took place in Heroes square, Budapest. Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco offered the opening Mass starting at 4 p.m. on the 5th of September, 2021. The Mass was attended by students from Hungary's Catholic schools, some of whom received First Communion.

On February 28, 2002 the Appellate Court of Versailles rendered a judgement that we were keenly awaiting.
The court made its ruling in the litigation opposing Association of "Jehovah's Witnesses" and the Hauts-de-Seine Internal Revenue Department.
The Internal Revenue Department undertook a colossal tax adjustment to impose a 60% tax on donations made by our faithful brothers during a four-year period.
The Appellate Court of Versailles confirmed the position of the tax authorities who, in the case in point, used the new article in the General Tax Code adopted by the financial law on December 30, 1991, which became Article 757-2 of the CGI. In the terms of this article, the disclosure to the tax authorities of a manual gift leads to the collection of a 60% tax as registration fee. According to the Court of Versailles, this taxation would apply "to all persons, both physical and juristic (...), including associations". This interpretation appears contrary to the will of the legislator, who obviously had not conceived this new arrangement as a means to levy taxes on manual gifts to associations. In this matter, the parliamentary deliberations are revealing. In its decision, the Court of Versailles goes as far as to recognize "that manual gifts are not (...) taxable, that there is no obligation to declare manual gifts" (p. 11 of the judgement). In fact, the law of July 23, 1987 confirms the possibility of all registered associations to freely receive manual gifts (Article 6 of the law of July 1, 1901).
Bringing the deliberations back to the simple interpretation of Article 757-2 of the CGI, the Court brought out that "the only question that can be asked is that of determining if the taxpayer disclosed the donations, in the sense of Article 757, paragraph 2, when the accounts were presented to the requesting authorities" (p. 11 of the judgement).
In short, the deliberations were purely technical, with the Court making its decision based on the point that "the presentation by the association, in harmony with legal obligation, of its accounts records, (...) is equivalent to revealing in the sense of Article 757, paragraph 2".
The Association of "Jehovah's Witnesses" has, therefore, been taxed for voluntary donations from its members during a four-year period, not because of their being taxable, but because they were carefully recorded by the association. For the Court, "what motivated the taxation is, therefore, not the gift itself but rather the disclosure of it by the donator." (p. 11 of the judgement).
This interpretation will have serious repercussions for associations as a whole who receive manual gifts and who record them. Perfectly aware of the consequences of its decision, the Appellate Court of Versailles, as if excusing itself, affirms: "it is not the prerogative of the judge to reform or modify the law, no matter how inadequate it may be." (p. 13 of the judgement).
In this way, on February 8, 2002, a new tax was consecrated. From now on manual gifts, or using the terminology of the Appellate Court of Versailles, the "resources of the generosity of members who are benefactors" are taxable at the rate of 60% if they are recorded in the accounts records of an association.
However, the motivation of the taxation will depend on the attitude of the Internal Revenue Department who could decide to audit this or that association. In the future, those who have the misfortune of being audited and who have recorded the donations from their "members who are benefactors" will not be able to escape this tax.
No doubt about it, such an interpretation, constituting a legal precedent, should be judged as "inadequate".

Institution(s):Marshal Fahim Military Academy
Region & Country:Southern Asia | Afghanistan
On February 4, 2020, a suicide bomber killed at least five people and injured at least a dozen more, near the entrance to Marshal Fahim Military Academy, a defense university in Kabul where the country's security officers undergo training. The attack, which occurred around dawn, came after three months of relative calm in Kabul. As of this report, no group has claimed responsibility.
Scholars at Risk is concerned about the targeted attack on a higher education institution. In addition to the loss of life and the harm to the other individual victims, such incidents have a chilling effect on academic freedom and public safety. State officials and police have a duty to take available measures to prevent such attacks and to investigate and hold the perpetrators accountable.

Former Dominican baseball player waiting execution with lethal injection in the gas chamber
NEW YORK. – After the announcement Thursday of President Donald Trump that the United States Government will reinstate the death penalty nationwide in federal cases, Arizona media, refreshed the conviction of former Dominican baseball player Fabio Gomez, who awaits execution in the electric chair or with lethal injection into the Death Pavilion of a jail in Texas, after that in 2010, a jury overturned the decision of an appeals court not to execute it.
Gomez, who was found guilty in 2003 for the brutal murder of his girlfriend Joan Morane, in the town of Chandler, in 1999, being convicted in 2001 for first degree murder and rape.
His sentence was delayed because one year after the appeal, the United States Supreme Court in Washington ruled that capital punishment must be handed down by a jury and not by the judge presiding over the trial.
Gomez, who played on triple farms of the Arizona Diamonds Back team in the majors, complained bitterly about the death sentence and uttered insulting but not vulgar words against jurors and Judge James Keppel, during the sentence reading in the Superior Court of Maricopa County in Arizona.
The magistrate described the murder of the woman as disgusting.
His 36-year-old girlfriend was an outstanding student at the liberal arts school at Arizona State University.
At the time of sentencing, Gomez was 34 years old.
"Your Honor, on behalf of my family in the Dominican Republic, the friends I have here and all the people in Arizona, I consider this phrase inappropriate," Gomez told the judge.
Gomez was also sentenced to an additional 21 years that he must serve consecutively until he is executed for the kidnapping and rape of the student.
Gomez raised an eyebrow when he decided to defend himself by ignoring the advice of his ex officio lawyers by the court and summoned the Arizona Diamondbacks players, Craig Counsell and Quinton McCracken to testify on their behalf.
But Gomez did not call his witnesses to the stand.
In an incoherent statement, Gomez said that Miranda's rights were never read to him, which reminds those arrested that they can remain silent because anything they say can be used against them and they have the right to a lawyer, in addition to denouncing that the detectives of The police did not fully investigate the case and their rights of trial were violated, which was not fair.
"Is this how justice is done in Arizona?" Gomez asked. "The case was not properly investigated. It's disgusting. They play, but who cares? This is about Fabio Gomez," said the death row inmate.
Stephen Johnson, who was Gómez's legal advisor, considered the verdict fair, noting that it would have been easy for the jury to sentence Gómez to death without deliberating at all.
Gomez was arrested on December 2, 1999 when police from the town of Chandler received a call realizing a man had mortally beaten a woman with a bat in apartment 1283 of Parklane West boulevard. When the officers arrived on the scene, nobody responded.
The authorities received the complaint that the victim had disappeared and resided in apartment 234 of the same address. She was the baseball player's girlfriend who, when approached by the police, told them that he and the woman were moving because of what they were packing to leave the place. The player, according to the record, had a flat air mattress. 4 hours had passed since the murder.
Gomez had already loaded some of his belongings in the car and told the officers that he had to go see his son. At 5:30 in the morning, officers noticed blood stains on the edges of the mattress that was already inside the vehicle and a red spot in a trash can around the apartment. When they returned to Gomez's house, they observed other blood stains on the carpet. More traces of blood appeared in the dining room, the hallway, the bathroom, the floor, the walls and the door. They also found a metal weight stained with blood.
The player claimed that he had killed a cat that scratched his son, but DNA tests showed that the blood belonged to Mrs. Morane and confirmed that he had also raped her sexually. The next day, on December 3, 1999, the police found the woman's body in a garbage can and identified her as Joan Rachelle Morane. The body had been hidden a few meters from the front door of the crime scene.
The forensic autopsy determined that the cause of death was multiple trauma and bruises caused by a blunt object and was declared homicide. The victim received 18 blows to the head with the metal weight and was virtually destroyed.
Gomez, also represented in the trial that was instructed on March 22, 2001 being convicted of the murder and rape and was sentenced to capital punishment on June 5, 2003. Since then, he is in the Pavilion of Death of the Texas state jail awaiting execution.

John Slattery's directorial debut, GOD'S POCKET, is strange, wise, dark, crazy, funny and original
How often, when watching a movie in which the bad guys are about to wreak havoc on the good ones and this seems unavoidable, have you found yourself wishing against all hope that the good guys could do something, anything, please!? After the fact, when that damage has been done (this is usually a set-up for revenge -- sometimes it's the set-up for the entire movie that follows), things go on, as usual. But how often, following that first moment of threat, does somthing good and just and necessary actually occur? Right: You can count 'em on the fingers of one finger. Well, prepare yourself, folk, because this kind of jolting joy happens not once but twice in GOD'S POCKET, the new and quite unusual movie directed by and co-adapted (with Alex Metcalf, from the Pete Dexter novel) by John Slattery. And it happens in a manner that, though surprising, you can actually believe.
If this were all that Mr. Slattery's film offered (the director is pictured at left), I would still be inclined to give it a pass. But there's so much more in this exceedingly dark, moody, bleak, black-comedic movie that it earns mostly high marks all-round. Evidently based on a terrible and life-changing event in the life of Mr. Dexter that ended one man's career and started another's new one, the movie is by turns resolutely grim and bleakly funny. It involves a death that happens to one of the most agravating and unpleasant characters you're likely to have encountered on-screen of late, and as which Caleb Landry Jones is memorable indeed.
What evolves from this death is by turns wacky and awful, unreasonable and understandable -- given us human's beings propensity for self-delusion. It also turns the movie into a joy/horror-ride of major proportions. As you might expect from a smart Hollywood semi-insider like Slattery (whose indelible mark has been made on our consciousnesses via his work in Mad Men, the consistently finest piece of dramatic American television yet to air), he and his casting director, Susan Shopmaker, have done a yeoman job of collecting and then bringing to fruition a fabulous cast of some of independent film's finest actors.
In the lead is a man we'll be missing mightily until those of us who remember him are also dead: Philip Seynour Hoffman, above, who turns in yet another outstanding -- living, breathing, huffing and puffing -- performance. As his wife, Christina Hendricks (below) adds another feather in her growing cap of odd movie roles, as does Richard Jenkins (two photos below), as the newspaper reporter whose work sets off the final fire storm (and evidently recalls author Dexter's own story). Also on board is John Turturro (bottom, left) as a pleasantly criminal type (compare his work here with that of Fading Gigolo to better appreciate this guy's versatility).
Standout support is provided by the likes of Eddie Marsan and Joyce Van Patten, among many others. Finally, it's the tone of the tale -- it keeps moving back and forth from comic dark to just-plain-black -- that makes God's Pocket (the name of the little community in which our story takes place) such an unusual film. I have deliberately left out much mention of plot because you deserve to experience first-hand the surprises the movie has in store.
While we can and do appreciate many of these characters as oddball individuals, we can also understand the gut feeling we're left with at the film's conclusion, when the "general public," as it were, has run amok. The movie leaves you with the strong sense that "we, the people" are the last ones to be trusted to do the right thing.
God's Pocket is an original that's as black as they come and almost as quietly funny. Filmmaker Slattery and his cast deliver the goods to the point that I can safely predict: Like it or not, you won't forget this movie.
The film opens today, Friday, May 9, in New York City at the IFC Center, and in Los Angeles at The Landmark. Elsewhere? Don't know, but by next Wednesday, May 14, it'll be available nationwide via VOD.
Note: Mr. Slattery will appear in person on Saturday,
May 10, for a Q&A after the 7:45pm show, and on
Sunday, May 11, for a Q&A after the 3:15pm show.

This product is specifically for Mirrix's Craftsy Class: Bead & Tapestry Cuffs.
At 16 inches wide and weighing in at 6 pounds, the Big Sister is both bigger than her little brother and has been around longer. She was the first loom we designed! Bigger does not always mean a lot more expensive. A tapestry or bead weaving 13 inches wide and 34 inches high can be woven on this elegant, compact loom. Another great workshop or travel loom, the Big Sister stands firmly on a table with its fold-out legs. This is our most popular loom both for tapestry and bead weavers or those who do combined techniques.
The Big Sister is simply a more grown-up version of the 12" Little Guy. She's got that wonderful shedding device and is great for both bead weaving and tapestry. And she's still very portable. She 's too grown up to fit as nicely in your lap as the Little Guy, but she is one powerful piece of equipment. It's no wonder she is hands down our most popular loom and only a little bit more expensive than her little brother. Make your choice between the two based just on size, because that is the only difference between them.
The loom comes with a 10 dent warp coil, 14 dent warp coil, 18 dent warp coil and 30 heddles as well as shedding device and handle, two wooden clips, warping bar, flat wrench, Allen wrench and coil bar.

Reporting World War II: American Journalism 1938–1944
47 writers chronicle the war from the Munich crisis and Kristallnacht to the Battle of San Pietro in Italy. More
Edited by Samuel Hynes, Roger Spiller, Nancy Sorel, and Anne Matthews

Order both Reporting World War II volumes in a boxed set and save $20!
This Library of America volume is the first of a unique two-volume anthology. Drawn from original newspaper and magazine reports, radio transcripts, and wartime books, Reporting World War II captures the intensity of the war's unfolding drama as recorded by the best of a remarkable generation of journalists, whose talents, sense of purpose, and physical courage remain unsurpassed in the annals of war reporting. Here in one collection, over eighty writers, famous and forgotten alike, confront the crucial events of those years in writing of exceptional skill and emotional force.
The first volume traces the buildup to war and the first years of fighting: the Munich crisis, Kristallnacht, the fall of Poland and France, Pearl Harbor and Bataan, Guadalcanal and Salerno. William L. Shirer, Sigrid Schulz, and Howard K. Smith observe Nazi Germany from the inside; Edward R. Murrow and Ernie Pyle report from London during the Blitz; A.J. Liebling chronicles the Tunisian campaign; Margaret Bourke-White casts her eye on the Russian and Italian fronts. In a time when public perceptions were shaped mainly by the written word, correspondents like these were often as influential as politicians and as celebrated as movie stars.
Writers who covered the home front are included as well: E.B. White at a bond rally in Maine, Brendan Gill on gas rationing, James Agee's caustic reviews of Hollywood war movies. And so are the famous literary figures who covered the war: Gertrude Stein in occupied France, John Steinbeck on a troopship bound for Italy. Here too are writers on aspects of the war still often neglected: George S. Schuyler and other African-American journalists attacking racism and segregation in the armed forces; Mary Heaton Vorse on the women working in the defense industries; a firsthand account of the internment of Japanese-Americans.
This volume contains a detailed chronology of the war, historical maps, biographical profiles of the journalists, explanatory notes, a glossary of military terms, and an index. Also included are thirty-two pages of photographs of the correspondents, many from private collections and never seen before. A companion volume covers 1944–1946.
The advisory board for Reporting World War II includes Samuel Hynes, Woodrow Wilson Professor of Literature emeritus at Princeton University; Anne Matthews, the first woman to direct the Princeton Writing Program; writer Nancy Caldwell Sorel (1934-2015), and Roger J. Spiller, George C. Marshall Distinguished Professor of Military History (retired) at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Reporting World War II: American Journalism 1938–1944 is kept in print by a gift from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation to the Guardians of American Letters Fund.

La digital, didals, didalis, didalera o herba de Santa Maria (Digitalis dubia o Digitalis minor L.) és una planta perenne ornamental, endèmica de Mallorca, Menorca i Cabrera, que de maig a juny llueix flors rosades que pengen.

Morfologia
Té tiges de 20 cm a 50 cm de llarg, simples o poc ramificades. Les seves fulles són oblongolanceolades, finament fistonades, i amb les venes secundàries ascendents prominents; les radicals, en roseta i atenuades en pecíol es troben quasi seques a la floració. Les llavors són llises i alveolades. Les flors estan disposades en raïm clar, amb els pedicels drets, no engruixits a l'àpex i quasi tan llargs com el calze. Les bràctees són lanceolatoagudes, més o menys tan llargues com els pedicels. El calze té les dents peludes i desiguals, la superior més curta que les altres i totes amb nervis paral·lels. La corol·la, que és rosada, pubèrulosa-glandulosa per fora i amb taques purpúries per dins, penja horitzontalment amb el tub ample i corbat. El lombe oblic és quasi bilabiat, amb el lòbul superior molt ample, enter o escotat. Els laterals són arrodonits, i el del mig és més ample. Té quatre estams didínams, anteres purpúries i càpsula ovoide i pubescent, amb dues cel·les que s'obren per dues valves. També s'han descrit formes de Digitalis dubia Rod. Fem amb fulles sense pèls i flors blanques.

Utilitats
La digital es cultiva en els jardins com a planta medicinal i d'ornament.

Prendre tres tasses diàries d'una infusió de cinc grams de fulles de didalis per litre d'aigua regula els batecs massa accelerats del cor, rebaixa la temperatura del cos i augmenta la secreció de l'orina. S'ha d'emprar amb molt de mirament perquè és molt tòxica i, com diu el seu nom, amb el dit senyala el camí de la mort.

Hàbitat
Es troba a totes les muntanyes de la serra de Tramuntana, d'Alcúdia i d'Artà, penjada als penyals, principalment a partir de 400 metres d'altitud fins als cims més alts. Viu a penyes frescals i fissures de roques, tant a llocs ombrívols com assolellats, sovint colonitzant el substrat del peu de les parets rocoses. Es troba qualque pic amb flors blanques de les illes de Mallorca, Menorca i Cabrera.

FoundationClaire H Bauer Heart of a Volunteer Award2016 Heart of a Volunteer Award ...
2016 Heart of a Volunteer Award Recipient Marjorie Runyon
Marjorie Runyon
I thoroughly enjoy people," says Marjorie "Margie" Runyon, recipient of the 2016 Claire Bauer Heart of a Volunteer Award. To date, Margie has volunteered at Carson Valley Medical Center for nine years - starting in 2008, and has given approximately 1,600 hours of her time to CVMC.
Margie and her late husband William moved to the Carson Valley from southern California after their retirement in 1999. Margie had raised their two children, Cynthia and Richard, while also holding a career as an X-ray Technologist since 1956.
Shortly after moving to the Carson Valley, Margie began volunteering for the Douglas County Sheriff's Office at the Tillman Road substation, where she assisted with answering phone calls from the public, vacation checks, dog licensing, and other clerical duties. In 2003 she joined the DCSO Citizen Patrol, allowing Margie the opportunity to get out and about in the community in a marked vehicle with a variety of duties that included more vacation checks, parking enforcement, natural disaster response, and special events. When Margie joined the CVMC Auxiliary in 2008, she continued her work with the Sheriff's Office, and still does today.
"I spent my career in healthcare and volunteering at the hospital really gives me time for more one-on-one interaction with people," says Margie of her transition to including CVMC in her volunteer pursuits. "I think I can read people when they walk in that door -- if they're worried, if they're upset -- where they're coming from. You just know, and then you know how to greet them."
At CVMC, Margie's role is to do just that - help patients feel welcomed and comfortable when they enter the hospital, assist them in finding the people or department(s) that they came to visit, answering phone inquiries, and provides minor clerical support to departments as needed.
Margie currently gives two days of the week back to her community - one day to Carson Valley Medical Center and one day to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. The rest of the week she keeps herself busy with getting ample fresh air and exercise, going to the gym, working in her yard, and quilting. Margie is an avid quilter and has produced many a quilt for her friends, neighbors, and even friends that she has made through the Auxiliary. "Margie's energy, her passion for helping people, and her quick wit are all qualities that radiate off of her when you meet her," says CVMC's volunteer services coordinator Becky Hanson. "She brightens the day of so many patients who enter our doors."
"I'm so thankful. I just love to give back to my community," Margie says of what keeps her coming back to volunteer. "I can't wait to come, I look forward to it. It makes me happy, and I get to be happy today."

The Maids of Portland, Maine would like to thank all of our generous customers and employees who sponsored us in the 19th Annual Pet & People Walk. We raised a total of $380.00 to benefit the Center for Grieving Children! A little rain didn't put a damper on this fun day of face painting, games, pet contests and music. By raising money for The Center, we contributed to helping over 3,500 children, teens and adults each year who find loving support through their programs.
The Center for Grieving Children's mission is to provide loving support to grieving children, teens, families and the community through peer support, outreach and education. They honor and encourage the safe expression of grief and loss by providing a loving community that fosters the discovery and development of each child's own resiliency and emotional well being.
Understanding that when a loved one dies is often a difficult time financially, the Center does not charge fees for its services. Otherwise, the Center relies on private individual donations, foundation grants, United Way, and special events.
We at The Maids would like to thank you for your support for such a worthy cause! And thank you for helping The Center to be a beacon of light in the hearts and souls of grieving children throughout the world.


I need help with choosing the media unit colour. We have an open living area with the kitchen nearby. The kitchen has all white cupboards and white bench tops. The floors are spotted gum and the walls are a very light warm grey.
Furniture wise we have a grey speckled lounge matched with a dark brown leather lounge.
I have attached a picture of the lounge room and the kitchen.
But not sure if it's too much timber. Would love to hear what laminates or colour you think would suit our place. Thanks!
Oooo we are yet to handover and move in, but we will have a very similar layout!
We also have the reo in viva brown/Congo legs RFR.
Our floors are eng. timber oak bourbon. And we also thought for ages about coffee table and entertainment unit colours worrying about too much timber. In the end we just snapped up clearance items from various places so I imagine they might be a bit of a mismatch... hopefully not too much.
I think a nice walnut entertainment unit would look lovely. We have the exact same colour scheme and the Neo lounge from King and we went with a walnut unit from Click On Furniture. Love it.
I don't have any other photos with me, but you can see my cabinet (as well as my coffee and enjo floor thing) with the same floors / kitchen. Works really well I think.
Edited to add - this is several days after we have moved in, so a lot has changed - but it gives you an idea.

What is prose elements?

What is prose in poetry?
Prose poetry is a type of writing that combines lyrical and metric elements of traditional poetry with idiomatic elements of prose, such as standard punctuation and the lack of line breaks.
A prose poem is a poem written in sentences. It appears as a block of text without line breaks. While the basic definition of a prose poem remains the same, poets have used this form to mine a special territory between prose writing and poetry. Prose poems belong to neither side.
7 Tips for Writing More Poetically
Write simply.
Include poetic elements.
Use concrete words.
Communicate theme.
Write a whole poem.
Avoid clichés.
Take a writing class.
A "prose summary" is a short statement that expresses the main ideas of a passage. These statements provide an overview of the major ideas in a reading passage and leave out minor ideas or details. Summary notes, on the other hand, involve boiling down the text into note form.
The basic elements of prose are: character, setting, plot, point of view, and mood. Character refers to: biographical information; personality traits; social roles, and psychological factors such as aspirations, fears, and personal values.
In a prose poem:
The writing is continuous and without line breaks.
The piece may be of any length and may be divided into paragraphs.
The natural rhythm of thought can lead to rhythmical cadences in a prose poem.
Internal rhyme and alliteration and repetition can be used.
It lies between free verse and prose.
What is Prose? Prose is ordinary language that follows regular grammatical conventions and does not contain a formal metrical structure. This definition of prose is an example of prose writing, as is most human conversation, textbooks, lectures, novels, short stories, fairy tales, newspaper articles, and essays.
Summary Writing Format A summary is written in your own words. A summary contains only the ideas of the original text. Do not insert any of your own opinions, interpretations, deductions or comments into a summary. Identify in order the significant sub-claims the author uses to defend the main point.
Definition of prose poem. : a composition in prose that has some of the qualities of a poem.
Prose Poem. Though the name of the form may appear to be a contradiction, the prose poem essentially appears as prose, but reads like poetry. In the first issue of The Prose Poem: An International Journal, editor Peter Johnson explained, "Just as black humor straddles the fine line between comedy and tragedy, so the prose poem plants one foot in prose, the other in poetry, both heels resting precariously on banana peels."
Definition of prose. (Entry 1 of 4) 1a : the ordinary language people use in speaking or writing. b : a literary medium distinguished from poetry especially by its greater irregularity and variety of rhythm and its closer correspondence to the patterns of everyday speech. 2 : a dull or ordinary style, quality, or condition.
Prose poetry is poetry written in prose form instead of verse form, while preserving poetic qualities such as heightened imagery, parataxis, and emotional effects.
What is the best definition of a prose poem? Prose poetry is a type of writing that combines lyrical and metric elements of traditional poetry with idiomatic elements of prose, such as standard punctuation and the lack of line breaks.

The Medad Stone Tavern is a historic house museum at 191 Three Mile Course in Guilford, Connecticut.  Built in 1803 but never actually used as a tavern, it is well-preserved example of early 19th-century Federal period architecture.  It is now maintained as a museum by a local historical society.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.

Description and history
The Medad Stone Tavern is located in a rural-residential setting west of Guilford Center, on the west side of Three Mile Course just south of a stream which feeds the West River.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof and clapboarded exterior, set on a sloping lot which exposes the entire front of the basement level.  The roof is pierced by five gabled dormers, with brick chimneys set near the ends.  The front facade is covered by a shed-roof porch that appears two stories in height due to the basement frontage.  The main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows and a central entrance.  The entrance is flanked by wide sidelight windows.  The house is set on about  along with a barn, corn crib, and garage.

The structure was built in 1803 by Medad Stone, along what was then a proposed new route for the Boston Post Road.  Stone intended to operate a tavern here, but because the road was never realigned, he never did so, and it was only used as a private residence.  It was occupied by the Davis family, who farmed the surrounding land for nearly 200 years.  In 2001, the Davises gave the house to the Guilford Keeping Society, which has restored it and opened it as a museum.
