By George Nickel | News | No Comments
If your case was dismissed, you can protect your reputation and rebuild your life through the process of Expunging your North Carolina criminal record (also called Expunction). Even if your case was dismissed a record still remains that is visible to future employers, current employers, customers, landlords, colleges, insurers and anyone else who might do a check on your record.
If you worked with your attorney to negotiate a dismissal of your criminal charge or are found not guilty at trial your criminal arrest record will still remain. Even if you get a voluntary dismissal the original criminal charge will always be on your record. If your record is expunged then all searches of your record will show a clean criminal record and a clean public arrest record. Contact NC Expungement Lawyer Melissa Botiglione for a free consultation to see if you are eligible for a North Carolina Expungement.
Why do you need a North Carolina Expungement?
As soon as an Expungement has been granted North Carolina law states that you do not have to say you were ever arrested, charged or stood trial for the Expunged offense. Read this very closely! Under North Carolina Law: "no person as to whom such an order has been entered… shall be held thereafter under any provision of any law to be guilty of perjury, or to be guilty of otherwise giving a false statement or response to any inquiry made for any purpose, by reason of the person's failure to recite or acknowledge any expunged entries concerning apprehension, charge, or trial."
Expungement when charges are dismissed or there are findings of not guilty.

An individual is only allowed to use this kind of expungement as many times as they want since the law changed on December 1, 2017. This is a great Expungement to use if your cases was dismissed under N.C. G.S. 90-96 (Conditional Discharge of First Time Drug Offenders).

How Does the Expungement Process Work in North Carolina?
By George Nickel | Blog | No Comments
Step #1: Determining Eligibility
Are you eligible for an expungement? There are different rules for dismissed cases and convictions. For dismissed cases there is now no limit on the amount of dismissed cases and not guilty cases you can get erased through the expungement process (as long as you don't have a felony conviction or an active criminal case). For convictions there are certain crimes that are not eligible for expungement and there are different rules for those under 18 at the time of offense, under 22 for certain crimes and then a 5/10 year wait for felony charges (10) and misdemeanors (5). We generally need to pull court records to confirm whether you are eligible.
Step #2: Filing the Petition
Once we determine whether you are eligible for an expungement, we will file a petition for expunction in the clerk's office in the county where you were charged. You may need to sign affidavits and get character witnesses to do the same. There may or may not be court costs of $175 depending on the type of expungement.
Step #3: Review by the SBI (North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation)
Following an initial signature by a judge or district attorney (if required) the petition is then mailed to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI). The SBI will conduct a search of the criminal records of North Carolina. Any records discovered will be attached to the petition and mailed to the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). After reviewing the petition for any prior expungements by petitioner, the AOC attaches another report of its findings and sends it back to the clerk of court of the county where the petition was originally filed. This part of the process can take several months.
Step #4: Final Judgment by the Court
Once the petition is returned to the courthouse a judge makes a final determination based on the petition and information provided by the SBI and AOC. A this point the judge may sign the order granting the expungement without a formal hearing. However, if there is a question as to the applicant's eligibility or if the district attorney has an objection, then a formal hearing could be required. Following that hearing, the court will either grant or deny the expungement petition.
Step #5: Removal of Expunged Records
Upon the granting of the expungement petition, the clerk of court is statutorily required to send notice of the expunction to all of the relevant agencies that have information about your case. They are then required to eliminate those records from the system after they've received notice.

NC Expungements: How to Erase a Dismissed Charge from your North Carolina Criminal Record
Five Steps to getting a dismissed case expunged in North Carolina
By Wiley Nickel | Uncategorized | 6 Comments
NC Expungement Information
Important Note: If your case was dismissed it will NOT be expunged automatically by the courts. You need to file a petition to have your charges expunged from the system. If you do not file an expungement petition the record will remain visible forever. Example: If you were charged with Assault and the case was dismissed – any future employers, schools or housing agencies will see that you were charged with the crime and have questions about it. It's never a good first impression in any circumstance.
1. Find out if you qualify for an expungement. Contact The Law Offices of Wiley Nickel, PLLC for a free consultation to determine whether or not you qualify for a North Carolina expungement of your criminal charges. We will review your records and let you know whether or not you qualify for an expungement.
2. Confirm that you have not used a dismissal expungement before. Generally you are only allowed to expunge a dismissed charge one time in North Carolina with some exceptions. An attorney at our office will explain how this works. As an example you can have cases expunged if your identity was stolen.
3. File an Expungement Petition with the Court in the County where your case was dismissed. An attorney in our office will file an expungement petition on your behalf. You simply need to make payment to our office and provide some basic information to our office.
4. Wait approximately 4-6 months for your petition to work its way through the system. There's no way to tell exactly how long this will take but on our end all we can do is file the petition with the courts and wait. All counties take different times to process this sort of paperwork.
5. Receive your certified expungement petition back from the courts and feel confident knowing that all official records of your charge have been erased.

Release of melatonin is stimulated by darkness and suppressed by light. It appears that some people may under-produce melatonin at night when it is needed.

The Plainview Chamber of Commerce announced the 33rd graduating class of Leadership Plainview on Wednesday, May 10.
Departing from the typical classroom lecture model, the nine-month leadership development program takes instead a dynamic approach which allows participants an opportunity to polish their leadership skills and to learn about the local community. Class discussions and field trips throughout the area offer class members a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the community's inner workings.
Chamber Executive Director Linda Morris remarked, "The Plainview Chamber has several programs that are 'shining stars,' and Leadership Plainview is one of those. The business community in Plainview understands that the more we know about our businesses as a whole, the more we can help each other. Promoting leaders from within Plainview has a positive impact on retention and growth of businesses and their management staff."
She continued, "The business community, the non-profit organizations, and our educational and medical partners have made this program very beneficial and worthwhile to the participants. Their support of the Plainview Chamber is a vital part of how our community continues to be successful."
Tim Hardage, Chamber president, general manager of Ray Lee Equipment, and co-owner of Rocket Aviation, commented. "Year-after-year, Leadership Plainview helps to promote the best of what Plainview has to offer, as well as to enlighten others on the challenges which we face in the community. The program's success is credited to the continued interest of current and future leaders as class participants, as well as the overwhelming support of the local business community.

After nearly two years, Buglife's Urban Buzz Leicester project has come to an end after working with local community groups to bring bees, beetles and butterflies into the heart of Leicester and smashing all of its targets!
Thanks to the enthusiasm and hard work of 561 volunteers and dedicated partners, 112 Buzzing Hotspots were enhanced for pollinators with wildflowers, bug-friendly garden plants, flowering shrubs, nesting habitat and a host of other work. Urban Buzz Leicester worked in high profile locations such as Abbey Park, Victoria Park and Castle Hill Country Park and with partners including Leicester City Council, the University of Leicester, Naturespot and the network of committed Friends of Groups- all working together to bring colour and wildlife backs to our parks and open spaces.
Buglife is also pleased to announce that the joint Winners of the Best Buzzing Hotspot for Leicester are The University of Leicester for the efforts of their staff and volunteers across their campuses.

Jamie Robins, Projects Manager at Buglife commented, "The Urban Buzz project has been a fantastic community effort making a real difference for our precious pollinators. It's heartening the people of Leicester have banded together to bring colour and wildlife back to their parks and open spaces! Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers, partners and funders".

Our Souls: 'The Beast Within' – ripping riffs, venomous vocals and some very impressive drumming!
Posted By: Rick JammPosted date: January 13, 2016 in: NewsNo Comments
Founded in 1996, Our Souls has paved a long road to 'The Beast Within.' They cemented their reputation in the late 90s and early 2000s with two records, 'Final Hour' and 'Kreislauf.' In 2001, the band went on hiatus, not to be heard again for a decade. Then, in 2011, the outfit embarked an entirely new journey, redefining their sound with 'War For Nothing,' a dynamic independently produced DIY production and release. With the arrival of a new lead singer at the end of 2014, however, Our Souls decided to take to the studio. The product of those sessions is 'The Beast Within.' Our Souls is made up of Bernhard 'Berny' Jagielki (Vocals), Florian "Flokke" Klähr (Guitar), Andreas "Andti" Damm (Guitar), Marcus "Linne" Lindemann (Bass) and Michael "Gruni" Grunert (Drums).
After spending the last few years in an experimental phase, Our Souls return with a brutal and crushing real thrash album that recalls the glory days of Slayer and Megadeth in some instances but goes a whole lot further. The production is really good for this album and it shows that Michael Grunert spent a lot of quality time on the boards. The guitars are definitely the highlighted instrument of the album – just complex enough and furious with tons of aggression. The depth, precision, aggressiveness and melody expressed on this album is fantastic. Bernhard 'Berny' Jagielki's demonic fiery rasp could instill fear into anyone who hears it, while Michael "Gruni" Grunert's drums thud continuously and are able to go at the speed of a chain gun.
The rest of the band is relentless too. What is spectacular about the music is the way it is executed; no holds barred just the right amount of guitars and bass, awesome vocals and atmosphere. It may have taken Our Souls twenty years to reach what will undoubtedly be part of their peak, but fortunately the stars finally aligned, and the band produced the album they've been trying to create since their inception; one that's worth getting genuinely excited about!
The opening title track, "The Beast Within" is a superlative example of what a tried-and-true metal band can still accomplish in this day and age, while newer American metal bands continue to fail to produce authentically decent music. On "Time Is Up" you can hear the drums, guitars, vocals, and the bass with extreme ease and clarity. The musicianship is flawless and if you have any doubts about the guys in Our Souls then you will completely change your mind once you listen to this track. From there on out it only gets better as it's apparent the band means business. "The Age Of Pestilence", "I Am Alive", "No Surrender" and "Leave Me Alone", are all standout tracks with ripping riffs, venomous vocals and some very impressive drumming.
There must be something in the water or air, in Germany, which allows so many Teutonic thrash metal heroes like Our Souls to perfectly accomplish what they do. All through this album, Our Souls just keeps expanding their sound and their music, and the metal just gets better and better. 'The Beast Within' is an instant classic; the sooner you buy it, the sooner you can get over the fact that you're a die-hard thrash metal fan and you haven't bought it already!

All Orange no lemon
It's always exciting to see a National Series kick off. It signals the beginning of summer, and a time when riders can start to measure their form against the best and work out their goals and plans for the rest of the season. It's a time to get some payback for all the pre-season training and head off for an early holiday adventure while most people are still stuck in the office finishing off the year.
On the start line for the first Elite Women's race of the National Season
Orange is a beautiful town about 250km west of Sydney, and only 50 kilometres from where I was born, in Bathurst, many eons ago. The town is known for its cold climate and rich agricultural heritage, so it's decorated with spectacular European trees and beautiful English country gardens. Interesting fact: Orange is actually a centre of apple, pear, cherry and apricot production, but NO ORANGES are grown in the region because it's too cold. The town was named after the Prince of Orange, William II.
Orange's Kinross State Forest was popular when it hosted the first two rounds of the National Series last season, so it drew a good crowd of the country's top racers in the Elite and age group categories, with a few notable absences including soon-to-wed Olympians Dan McConnell and Bec Henderson, who everyone agrees have enough on their plates with the approaching nuptuals!
Orange turned on spectacular sunny weather for the entire weekend, a big improvement on the lashing rain of a week before, and perfect conditions greeted riders for official course practice on Friday (although the course did get quite dusty over the weekend). Both the Saturday and Sunday courses served up pure old-school mountain biking: twisty pine forest singletrack, log jumps, a few rocks, and off-camber corners. While there were no stand-out gnarly features, the fast, forested descents tested the skills and reflexes of the whole field and provided plenty of fun in payback for some heartbreaking climbs.
The course had no stand-out gnarly features, but plenty of log jumps and fast corners to keep everyone on their toes
The Saturday loop had riders climbing up through dark, twisty pine forest singletrack and into a more open climbing section, including a leg-sapping 'big rock' pinch, before taking a rooty descent and ducking back into the pine forest for some log jumps. Then the course opened out with a bit of a fire road climb before a final dive down a long descent to transition.
In Saturday's sunny, mild summer weather, Kiwi and Oceania Champion Samara Sheppard won the Elite Women's race in front of Holly Harris and Kathryn McInerny. In the warmth of the afternoon, Cam Ivory posted a convincing win over Ben Bradley, with Tasman Nankervis rounding out the top three.
Racers headed home to wash kit, bikes, and bottles fuel up and rest (if they had time) for the next round of the double header on Sunday.
Sunday dawned warmer than Saturday, with temperatures touching thirty degrees by mid-morning. The Sunday course included much of the same pine forest climbing trails as the Saturday course, but instead of the 'big rock' section, ducked into another loop of diabolical climbs and tight, twisty descents, with an extra bit of fire road thrown in for good measure, before taking in the same long descent as the day before. Sunday drew a bigger crowd of spectators, with rowdy gatherings cheering riders down the last hill before the start/finish zone.
The women headed up the merciless start climb at 10:30am in a race shortened to four laps. The winner's time on Saturday had been over the UCI limit but this time officials got it spot on, with Samara Sheppard victorious in 1:17, again tailed by Holly Harris and Kathryn McInerny.
The women's podium on day two was an exact replica of day one's
Also shortened by a lap, the Elite Men's race top three also mirrored the day before, won by Cam Ivory, with Ben Bradley and Tasman Nankervis rounding out the podium.
The next round of the National Series heads to Nerang, where riders will have the opportunity to tackle the already notorious Commonwealth Games course. Rounds three and four will take place over the 13-14 January.

Secluded just a stone's throw away from the busy thoroughfare on Chang De Lu, Le Bistrot de Racine opened this summer with little fanfare, joining the already crowded pond of French bistros in Shanghai. With just over three months under its belt, the restaurant is already hitting its stride with both food and service.
The dining room is quite elegantly furnished, all white tablecloths and sparkling wine glasses, suffused with warm brown tones from the wallpaper and a few paintings of bucolic autumn landscapes. But if weather permits, choose a table in their lovely garden, which offers all the peace and tranquillity of a true urban escape. With cherubic-faced figurines and lush greenery dotted among red and white chairs, the garden feels more lively and relaxed than the dining room.
The extensive menu sees plenty of straight-up French classics like foie gras terrine and moules marinières. But many of the dishes are inflected with modern touches in presentation and flavor.
One of their most inspired pairings is beef tongue with sea urchin. The beef tongue is slow-cooked to melting richness, perked up with just enough acidity and a whisper of saffron. The briny freshness of the sea urchin comes in at the end carrying a memory of the ocean.
The autumn salad holds few surprises in its ingredients, with ribbons of 48-month Iberico ham curled over tender roasted pumpkin, pear, walnuts, blue cheese, and raisins. The combination is classic for a reason, but it is the honey mustard and cumin dressing that helps the salad stand out. The delicious balance of sweetness, acidity, and spices makes it the best-dressed salad in recent memory.
The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the beef Wellington, a beautiful parcel of crisp puff pastry, salty prosciutto, and earthy mushroom duxelle wrapped around a tender fillet and a piece of foie gras. The fillet leans closer to rare than medium-rare, but manages to impress with its flavor. The accompaniments are not to be overlooked, including a wonderful potato Dauphinoise, rich, smooth potato purée, tender carrot, and juicy mushroom.
The buttery sweetness of slow-roasted wild cod is underscored with cheese-laden cauliflower purée and a rich cream sauce. The combination of heavy flavors definitely asks for some brightness, but it probably shouldn't come in the form of slices of lemon flesh, glaring in their naked acidity.
All four desserts on the menu (soufflé, crème brûlée, Napoleon, and opera cake) are French classics to a T. The raspberry Napoleon is good, if nothing to write home about, filled with a nice pastry cream and accompanied by refreshing raspberry sorbet. The soufflé is a little disappointing, the texture airy at the top but coagulated to a custard-like consistency on the bottom. However, the vanilla ice cream on the side redeems the dish slightly, complemented by a truffle-flavored powder. Still, we can't help but expect a little more from the RMB88 desserts.
The bread basket, on the other hand, deserves to be mentioned. The baguette is one of the best we've had in Shanghai, and is available at their bakery, Fournil, next door to the restaurant.
In a city with no shortage of French bistros, Le Bistrot de Racine holds our attention by riding comfortably between laid-back indulgence and refined elegance. Service is highly attentive without feeling obtrusive. The food might not be anything groundbreaking, but is generally well-executed and reasonably priced, which for us is enough reason to go back.

Our lives have all changed so much in the last few years due to deployments and these changes are also affecting our children.
There are programs available that can be very helpful for our military children when they are dealing with deployment and also helpful for parents.
The Sesame Street Special "When Parents are Deployed" will be re-broadcast April 9, 2007 on PBS.
The Sesame Street Special "When Parents are Deployed" will be re-broadcast April 9, 2007 on PBS stations across the country. This primetime special, hosted by Cuba Gooding, Jr., reveals candid and intimate moments with the parents, caregivers and children impacted by deployment. For more information check your local television listings or you can download the program at the Sesame Workshop website. DVDs and print packages in English and Spanish are available to military parents at no cost through the Military OneSource website to help military families and children cope with the various phases of deployment.
Researchers have found even more reasons to love Elmo. His positive impact has reached far beyond preschool children in military families with the Talk, Listen, Connect kit launched last summer, according to the results of a survey.
While the kit is aimed at military children of deployed parents, interviews with 367 spouses of active-duty, National Guard and reserve members in all branches of service showed that the stay-behind parents who used the kit also reported that their feelings of hopelessness and depression declined, according to Russell Research, Inc.
The parents also reported fewer negative behaviors in their preschool children, researchers said in a discussion of the findings April 3 in Washington.
These benefits were "far beyond what we expected," said Jeanette Betancourt, vice president of outreach and educational practices for Sesame Workshop.
The results showed that "not only were we reaching the parents and younger children, but the entire family," she said.


Another guest blog from my friend, Tracy Farr. This guy needs to do stand-up comedy.
Would somebody please tell me why it is necessary to wash off the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher to be washed? You save all your life for that wonderful house full of modern appliances that are supposed to make your life easier, but you still have to scrub the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher. At least, that's how it is in my house. And frankly, I think it's a bit insane.
When I ask my wife why we have to do something so redundant, she gives me that you're-just-a-guy look and points her finger in the "get out of my kitchen" direction. But I think it's a legitimate question.
Do people warm up their leftover casserole in the oven before they heat it up in the microwave? I think not! Do people put their ice trays in the refrigerator to cool the water off before they put it in the freezer to make ice? Hardly! Is there a person alive who holds a piece of bread over an open flame to pre-toast the bread before they put it in the toaster? You've got to be kidding! So why do we have to pre-wash the dishes before sticking them in a machine that's supposed to wash them?
There is no reason why a dishwasher should not be able to do the job it was meant do, unless it's not a dishwasher problem, but instead – dare I say it – it's a WOMAN problem.
WARNING: The following drivel is pure, 100 percent, male sexist propaganda that may cause my untimely death; but hey, you only live once!
Is it possible that we pre-wash dishes because women feel guilty about having a convenience that their mothers and grandmothers didn't have? Is it possible that women don't trust the dishwasher to get their dishes squeaky clean because it was invented by a man who probably never washed a dish in his life? Or is it possible that women just worry too much about little things like bits of dried food on a supposedly clean dish?
I think all you women folk out there should lighten up and wash the dishes the "I'm Just A Guy" way. Just throw those dishes in the machine, watch some NASCAR or change the oil in your car while you wait. Then when the dishes are done, toss those suckers into the cabinet. And if there is a bit of dried pork chops left on the plate, don't worry about it! Just cover it up with a big spoonful of casserole at your next meal. Nobody will know the difference.
LOL, LuAnn. Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment.
If the men in my house would just give their dishes a quick rinse before plopping it on the counter or stacking them in the sink, there would be no need for pre-washing and no chance of baked-on food from the (old) dishwasher's dry cycle (which no matter how many times I push air dry, it still heats to kiln temperature). My son likes to save a week's worth of dishes and glasses in his room before bringing them out.
Hmm. That sounds a bit rant-ish, doesn't it? That's because it is! Grr. Ooh, I feel better now.


Israel Ibuje is the Managing Director of Mitega International Limited, an integrated security development company in Nigeria, with specialty in security oil and gas pipeline. In this interview with Roseline Okere, he believed that the application of the right technology would assist the country in fighting the issue of pipeline vandalism. Excerpts.
Tell us about Mitega Security and its services in the country?
Established in 2005, Mitega International Limited is one of Africa leading integrated security development company with a significant pedigree, we support security initiative by leveraging on our deep domain and analytical expertise to rapidly develop and transition technologies and systems into operational solution, we are a Security Technology development company.
In what areas can the company be able to contribute to finding solution to the issues of insecurity in the country, most especially, the challenges of pipeline vandalism?
Pipeline vandals have recently focused attention on destroying gas pipelines and this has reduced product supply to power plant. How do will solve this problem?
This problem is very easy to resolve the government should set up a security Technology body to permanently stop this trend by conducting a full Threat and security risk of all gas and Oil pipeline within eight weeks according to international standard organization and submit the report which will recommend a Technology device for every gas line and environment and this technologies are integrated to work together remotely.
The president said recently that it was going to tackle the issue of insecurity in the country with technology. What type of technology would you recommend to the government?
Our recommendation for the government, is that before considering to deploy of technology, it should Constitute a Security Technology development body to identify threat, security risk area of the gas/oil pipeline with accredited international company including us to be able to achieve the best result .
What do you think the country is not doing right to tackle the issue of insecurity in the country?
In my Opinion the government is having people with too many personal , or ethnic interest ahead of national consideration this is what is militating against the fight against insecurity, and i hope we will get this area right and then the government will begin to get better result in the fight against insurgence and pipeline vandalism..
PHCN cables and transformers are also being vandalised. What is the way out of this situation?
The way forward for PHCN or the to also to conduct a Risk assessment of infrastructure and then to install intrusion technology to protect device.
Do you see an end to the current plummeting prices of crude oil and what do you think Nigeria should do to reduce its effect on the economy?
Yes, I see an end to this current plummeting prices of crude oil but to reduce the effect we must cut dowm all cost of purchasing and supply at all level and be honest to ourselves. And let us deploy Security Technology solution for Marine protection for Oil theft because we are loosing more to both theft and vandalism on a monthly ratio.
Some people have suggested that the country should focus attention on diversifying the economy. Which sector do you think the government?
What plans do you have for Mitega International in the next five years and how do you intend to achieve plan?
Our plan in the next 5years is to create awareness to enable all pipeline contract to include a security technology inbuilt and to create a market digit irrespective of our affiliation,and hope to be given equal opportunity since we possess this same product world wide.
What are your current challenges and what role do you think the government can play to ameliorate these challenges?
Our challenge is that government must compare relevant authority to include Pipeline security technology in all new pipeline works and such technology must have been recommended by international practice,government should not only use our idea but make us part of Security Technology development body for Oil theft because we have the technology for the next generation to address all theft and vandalism.

Stage from Zarautz to Deba
Home > Camino de Santiago routes > Camino del Norte > Stage from Zarautz to Deba
Zarautz - Deba 22 Km
Quote!
stage-zarautz-deba
Information Zarautz - Deba
After yesterday's easier stage, today the Camino de Santiago we expect to find another new stage that will test our strength and resistance.
The Camino del Norte is not easy, but not all the route will be the same, do not forget that you are still in the early days of pilgrimage and that the body is still getting used to the distance and the continuous slopes.
Let's continue on the Camino del Norte!
The stage begins with a gentle walk by the sea to Getaria, for those who decide to leave the official route and take the pedestrian promenade. The others will start the morning with the tonic that awaits us throughout the day, ups and downs.
In exchange for the effort, the Camino de Santiago gives us breath-taking places, such as beautiful beaches, fantastic cliffs and lush hills.
Itinerary Zarautz - Deba
The stage of today is a route of 22 kilometres, which are characterized by the presence of continuous climbs.
Zarautz (Km. 0). Beginning of stage
Practical tips for this section: The morning begins making us think, should you follow the path that runs by the sea to Getaria or follow the old road, surrounded by the txakoli vineyards. Have breakfast and think about it. Buen Camino!
This first section of the third stage of the Camino del Norte can be done following two different routes to Getaria. The official route runs along an old road and the alternative follows the pedestrian promenade, by the sea, and much easier.
To follow the official route, we must take the road that goes to Meagas, next to the Church of Santa Maria. A few metres later we take a road (the old carriageway), which runs in ascent, surrounded by txakolí vineyards, and that goes to the Chapel of of Santa Barbara and Getaria.
In the chapel, we will be able to say goodbye to Zarautz and its beach, with excellent views. From there, following the official road, we descend, taking a detour, until reaching Getaria.
To take the alternative route, take the pedestrian promenade, along the coast, which runs parallel to the N-634 road, for a nice, flat walk, on numerous occasions, encountering fishermen. At the entrance of Getaria, we can deviate from the road to visit the port of the seafaring village, accessing through the passage of the Church of San Salvador.
Getaria (km. 4,1)
Practical tips for this stretch: it is worth detouring and visiting the port of this seafaring village. Buen Camino!
We leave Getaria by a roadway that begins in Calle Herrerieta and leads us to the neighbourhood of San Prudencio, to lead onto the GI-3392 road. Follow it for 550 metres and turn left to the hamlet of Aziategi, between vineyards and cornfields.
On the ascent, we arrive next to the church of San Martín de Tours and to a fountain, in the district of Askizu (km. 6.1). We leave the neighbourhood with magnificent views of the Cantabrian Sea and Zumaia, our next urban centre.
We descend the slope of the mountain to the N-634 road, our faithful companion in these early stages of the Camino de Santiago. The House Museum of the painter Ignacio de Zuloaga and the Chapel of Santiago cross our path.
Crossing the River Urola, we finally arrive in Zumaia. We descend stairs that lead us to cross the Paseo de Los Angeles, already in the city centre.
Zumaia (km. 9,1)
Practical tips for this section: To the district of Elorriaga you can access it both on the left, following a track, and on the right, by road. It is in these places where the phrase applies: "All roads lead to Rome." Buen Camino!
We leave the village on the ascent, towards the Convent of San José de las Carmelitas Descalzas and the Chapel of Arritokieta. In this section, if you look back we will get a nice panoramic image of the village that we just left behind and the mouth of the River Urola.
The rural road opens out to a path that leads to the rest area of Elorriaga (Km 12.4), with fountain and several tables. In Elorriaga (km. 13), we find two itineraries, the Camino de Santiago and the GR-121 that runs along the coast.
Elorriaga (km. 13)
Practical tips for this section: Itziar is a stone's throw from Deba, the end of today's stage. In this locality, you will find the Sanctuary of Santa Maria that is a must visit on the Camino del Norte. Also the visit will be the perfect excuse to recover from the hard ascent. Buen Camino!
Following the pilgrim path we descend to the national road, cross it and begin a pronounced ascent along a wooded path. We go over several gates and return to descend to the N-634 road, in the district of Mardari.
We cross the A-8 (Km 16.3) and continue with caution the track of the national road. We leave it on a path that begins on the right and leads us to tackle a stretch of asphalt, which eventually leads us back to the road, to face a tough final climb. Finally, we arrive at Itziar (km. 18.5), where the Sanctuary of Santa María, a must see, is waiting for us.
Following a track, hidden by the old façade, we climb a few metres to the cemetery and then descend to Deba. At our pace, we will find the Chapel of San Roque (km. 21). Immediately, we enter the location, pass by the Mendata Secondary school, and followed Calle Mogel to take an elevator that leaves us in the centre of Deba.
Deba (km. 22). End of stage
Practical tips for this section: Take the afternoon to replenish your strength in one of the two beaches in the town. See you tomorrow!
It should offer you everything you need to enjoy a pleasant and relaxed afternoon. The locality has two beaches, that of Santiago and the one of La Pari, with some small coves and with the promenades of Cárdenas and Pablo Laura.
You will also find places of cultural and religious interest, such as the Church of Santa María or the Chapel of Nicolás de Lastur, and examples of civil architecture, such as the Casa Aldazabal-Murguia, the Town Hall, Casa de Aguirre or Puente de Deba.
If you are encouraged and you want to walk, in the vicinity of the town you will find some caves, Praileaitz, Urteaga, Aixa or Ekain, which you could visit.
Comments Zarautz - Deba

What to do Zarautz - Deba
Throughout today's stage, you will pass through various places of historical and cultural interest. Below we provide you with information about each one of them so you enjoy your visit to the maximum.
Convento de San José
The Convent of San José is located in the centre of the town of Zumaia. The building dates from the 17th century, being one of the oldest conventual ensembles in the Basque Country.
The convent was from its origins, the residence of the order of the Barefoot Carmelites. There are currently guided tours inside and, in high season, it functions as a Pilgrim's hostel.
Ermita de Arritokieta
The Chapel of Arritokieta is located in the heart of the town of Zumaia. The temple was built in 1292, although it has undergone many repairs throughout history, which have allowed it to reach our days in good condition. Later, a hospital for contagious patients was built next to the Chapel.
The temple houses in its interior an image of the 16th century of the Virgen Arritokieta, patron of the town, located in the central part of the main altarpiece. The altarpiece has, in its lower part, a Spanish flamenco triptych dating from the 16th century.
Ayuntamiento de Getaria
The Getaria Town Hall was built in 1919. Its structure follows the pattern of the country houses of the region, characterized by a large-sized arched archway on its main façade resting on Doric columns.
Inside the building, you can visit a drawing of Elcano signed by Zuloaga, as well as a famous painting depicting the landing of Elcano and his seventeen expedition companions.
Iglesia de San Martín de Tours
The Church of San Martín de Tours is located in the parish of Askizu. It is recognized as one of the first temples built in Gothic style in the province of Guipúzcoa. Its structure consists of a single nave, divided into several sections covered by vaults. The ensemble is made of sandstone ashlars and hardly has any ornamentation elements.
The Church of San Salvador is located in the town of Getaria. The temple began to be built in 1525, by Pedro Alzaga but did not end until 1755. However, the temple has been reformed on several occasions throughout history, especially during the Carlist Wars, in which it suffered considerable damage.
The architectural importance of the church has made it listed as a National Monument. The temple has a scaled disposition, which allows it to cross the unlevel terrain, and is divided into three naves separated by three sections each.
Under the chancel of the church extends the Katrapona walkway, which connects the old town of Getaria with the fishing port.
Palacio de Aldamar
The Palace of Aldamar is located in the upper part of the town of Getaria. The building dates back to the late 19th century. The building served as a residence for the Torres family, grandparents of Queen Fabiola of Belgium.
The construction is notable for its large dimensions and its red and blue polychrome bricks. At present, the palace houses the headquarters of the Museum of Cristóbal Balenciaga, where you can visit the work of the designer.
Opening hours: Open daily (from 10:00 to 19:00).
Guided tour schedule: daily (12:30).
Información práctica:
Horario: Abre todos los días (de 10:00 a 19:00).
Horario de visitas guiadas: Todos los días (12:30).
Playa de Malkorbe
The Malkorbe beach in Getaria is located next to the marina of the locality. It is a beach of 420 metres in length, surrounded by hotels and equipped with various services, such as toilets, fountains, playground, etc.
Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Itziar
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Itziar dates from the 8th century, although it has been refurbished on numerous occasions, the most outstanding being the one that took place in the 16th century. Today the church consists of a single nave divided into three regular sections, with no intermediate columns.
Inside the sanctuary, you can visit an image in honour of the Virgin, considered one of the best preserved Basque iconographies, and a 16th-century altarpiece, Plateresque style.
The Geopark is an area formed by Zumaia, Deba and Mutriku, which stands out for its pastures and forests, as well as for its geology. The area has 13 kilometres of cliffs formed by the Flysch Rocks, geological formations formed by the impact with the sea.
Capilla de San Sebastián de Elorriaga
Deba is a municipality of nearly 5,500 inhabitants. In the past, the port of the small town was of great commercial importance, although it is currently used exclusively as a sports pier.
The locality has two beaches, Santiago and La Pari, with some small coves and with the promenades of Cárdenas and Pablo Laura, from where you can enjoy the coastal profile and the Cantabrian.
In addition, the visitor will find religious architecture, such as the Church of Santa Maria or the Chapel of Nicolás de Lastur, and civil architecture, such as the Casa Aldazabal-Murguia, the Town Hall, the house of Aguirre or the Deba Bridge. In the vicinity of Deba you can visit some caves, such as La Praileaitz, Urteaga, Aixa or Ekain.
Iglesia de Santa María de Deba
The Church of Santa María de Deba dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. Its dimensions and its valuable decoration make it considered one of the most impressive works in the province of Guipúzcoa, comparable to any cathedral. The temple is listed as a National Monument.
The interior of the temple has a high-rise nave, resting on cylindrical columns, which look like 13th-century bas-reliefs.
In the temple, the polychrome doorway and an altarpiece that represents the life of the Virgin Mary stand out, both pieces originating in the temple that was erected in the place before the construction of the present church. Its gothic-style cloister is considered one of the oldest.
Timetable: Closes Saturdays and Sundays. Monday (from 9:00 to 13:00), Tuesday (from 9:00 to 12:00), from Wednesday to Friday (from 9:00 to 13:00).
Casa Aldazabal-Murguia de Deba
The Aldazabal-Murguia de Deba house is formed by a single plant divided into three streets. The highlight of the building is its façade, which has balconies made with ornamented ashlar and enclosed by wrought iron handrails. The property is listed as an Artistic Historical Monument.
The Deba Town Hall was built in 1747 and is of Baroque style. The building was made of limestone ashlars and consists of three floors. On the ground floor are arched porticoes and in the first and second, balconies decorated with grilles, where you can see the shields of the Royal Crown, Guipúzcoa and Deba.
Casa de Aguirre
The House of Aguirre is considered one of the most important houses in the civil architecture of the 15th century of Deba. Its structure consists of two floors. The most noteworthy of the exterior is its main façade, with windows on both sides of the cover.
In the interior stands the ornamentation of the main staircase and the living room, with wood carvings and decoration on both floors and ceilings.
Cueva de Praileaitz
The Praileaitz Cave is located in the vicinity of Deba. It is an excavation from 2006, in which were found Paleolithic cave paintings. The paintings are drawn with red dots and stripes, isolated or forming small series.
Cueva de Urteaga
The Urteaga Cave is located in the vicinity of Deba. It is one of the most important excavations in the region, given the wide variety of extracts found in the place.
Among the findings are two skulls of the Azilian period and a third, considered one of the most important due to its longevity and being the main link to study the evolution of Cromagnon to the Basque man.
Puente de Deba
The Deba Bridge was inaugurated in 1866. Nowadays it is considered the most representative bridge of the architecture of the province of Guipúzcoa, so in 2006, it was closed to the traffic, to guarantee its conservation. The structure is lined with light grey limestone ashlar and has piers, batteries and vaults.
Ermita de San Nicolás de Lastur
The Chapel of San Nicolás de Lastur is located in the town of Deba and dates from 1625. In the past, the temple had an enormous wooden altarpiece that sheltered the images of the Virgin Mary, Christ crucified, San Isidro, San Nicolás and San Antonio de Padua.
The altarpiece was removed and at present, the figures are placed on stone pedestals.
Legend has it that the chapel formerly had an image of St. Nicholas that was very deteriorated, so the neighbours decided to replace it with a new one. To get rid of the old image, they decided to incinerate it, but the carving did not fit in the bonfire.
In front of this, a neighbour decided to split it in half using an axe, which was broken by hitting the image. Then they tried to split it with a baton, but it also broke. Faced with the inability to break the image of the saint to incinerate, they decided to throw it to the river that passes behind the chapel.
Shortly thereafter, a storm started that lasted three days and three nights. The neighbours stunned by it attributed the phenomenon to the saint and decided to remove the image from the stream. Then the storm ceased.
Given the situation, the neighbours decided to keep the image in the sacristy of the chapel, where it remained until a few years ago when it was transferred to the parish of Itziar.
Cueva de Aixa
The Aixa Cave is the spring of the waters that descend down the hill to reach the River Deba. The cavity is considered one of the largest in the Basque Country, with an extension of more than 12 kilometres.
Paseo Cubierto y el Mercado
The covered promenade and the Deba Market are located in a building from the early 20th century, the work of Manuel Echave and declared a building of Cultural Interest in 1995. The ensemble stands out for the ornamentation of its columns and on the shield is engraved on the date of its construction.
Cueva Ekain
The Ekain Cave is located in the vicinity of Deba. The space was declared, in 2008, as a World Heritage Site for the set of equestrian paintings, of the parietal Franco-Cantabrian art, that it houses in its interior. In addition to these paintings, the interior of the cave has a total of 70 rock figures, with representations of deer, bison, goats, etc., distributed in a length of 150 metres.
Timetable: Closes on Mondays. In summer, from Tuesday to Sunday (from 10:00 to 19:00). In winter, from Mars to Sunday (from 10:00 to 18:00).

Q: Grandchild property extracting information of grandfather? I am in a situation in which I have a class structure similar to this:
public class Container {
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public IEnumerable<Entity> Entities {get; set;}
}

public class Entity{
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public IEnumerable<Attribute> Attributes {get; set;}
}

public class Attribute{
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public AttributeEnum Type {get; set;}
    public PoisonSpecification Specification {get; set;}
}

public Enum AttributeEnum{
    poisonA,
    poisonB,
    poisonC,
    poisonX
}

Every time one adds a new container or modifies an existing Container I perform a validation of the incoming container.
The validation currently starts from the top (container level) to bottom (Typespecifcation)
I am currently in a situation if I see that an Attribute uses type poisonX,  I need to ensure that a specific Entity (specified by the TypeSpecification) exists within the container - but how do I check a container level instance when I am at the TypeSpecification level?
Is somehow possible to reference the parent holding the property - or in this case multiple parents?

A: do the validation on container level:
bool validate( Container c )
{
  foreach( var e in c.Entities )
    foreach( var a in e.Attributes )
    {
      if (new_or_changed)
        //your validation code
    }
}

The third of four required public hearings about the possibility of switching from an at-large voting system to district-based voting in the City of Murrieta became even more focused Tuesday night, with a demographics expert presenting two potential district maps and discussion of the possible application of state law in this case intensifying.
Repeating their stance of the two previous public hearings, all five council members expressed anger and frustration that the threat of litigation by an outside party could force them to adopt a district voting system, in which residents would vote only for one council member from among candidates who live in their geographical area. In a letter similar to one he has sent to several cities in California, attorney Kevin Shenkman has threatened a lawsuit against the City, claiming at-large voting (in which residents can vote for every open council seat) is discriminatory against minorities who run for election.
Yet despite their frustration, some council members said they believe the real problem is with the California Voting Rights Act -- legislation they fear they might not be able to fight at the local level. Some cities already have lost lawsuits after trying to resist a switch to district voting. And as assistant city attorney Christina Cameron reported during Tuesday night's meeting, Huntington Beach appears to be the only city currently attempting to fight against Shenkman's threat.
"The real fight is in challenging the law," said council member Kelly Seyarto (left). "We aren't the people with the wherewithal to make that challenge. Whether we're forced into districts or not, it doesn't define who we are politically. If I'm elected to represent a district, the day after the election, I'm still looking out for the city."
Mayor Rick Gibbs expressed a similar point of view.
"Everything the state is trying to do is take away local control," Gibbs said. "Reluctantly, my opinion is that we're not going to spend millions of dollars fighting this. It doesn't matter if we're for or against it. The California Voting Rights Act took away some rights of the citizens."
In essence, the CVRA makes it easier for minority groups to sue, claiming their votes are diluted in at-large elections. Yet a demographics study presented by Douglas Johnson, president of the National Demographics Corporation, showed there is no geographical area in Murrieta that is predominantly of one race.
Addressing this issue, council member Alan Long (right) said he believed that application of the CVRA in Murrieta's case would do the opposite of what the legislation is intended to do.
"The study shows that 26 percent of the population of Murrieta is Latino," said Long, whose mother and wife are Hispanic. "You've shown that you can't create a district that is primarily Latino because that population is scattered. I would say the likelihood of Latinos electing a Latino in a district election is far less than them electing one Latino out of five candidates they can vote for in an at-large election.
"I'm half Hispanic, and the more I learn about this law, the more outraged I become. For a city that could be a role model because of its diversity to be forced into this is offensive, it's racial, and it does the opposite of what is intended. It assumes Latinos will vote based primarily on race and not the issues. How offensive is that?"
Even so, the council listened to Johnson's presentation of two district scenarios. Presenting a Green Map and Yellow Map that have been displayed on the city website for the last week, he described what he believes are two viable options for dividing the city into five districts of fairly equal numbers.
The Green Map (shown below) creates a District 1 in the northern part of the city that is split by the 215 Freeway; District 2 primarily in the triangle between the 215 and 15 Freeways; District 3 on the west side of the city; District 4 at the south end of the city; and District 5 to the east, primarily in the French Valley area. In that configuration, current City Council member Jonathan Ingram would represent District 1, Seyarto would represent District 2 and Long would represent District 5. District 4 would not have a current representative and District 3 would have two council members in that area -- Gibbs and Randon Lane.
Clarifications would have to made on how all five districts would be represented and whether a council member's term limit, when expired in one district, could be renewed if he or she moved to another district.
The Yellow Map (also below) adjusts Districts 1 and 2 to both be in the north part of the city, split by the 215 Freeway. District 3 would run the entire western length of the city, District 4 would be the central portion, and District 5 would be reduced to a smaller geographic area in the southeast part of Murrieta. In that configuration, Ingram would remain in District 1, Long would be placed in District 2, Gibbs and Lane would remain in District 3, Seyarto would be placed in District 4, and District 5 would be vacant.
The fourth and final public hearing on this matter will be held at the July 18 council meeting, when a decision would have to be made. The city's 90-day "safe harbor" protection from litigation ends Aug. 6.

On the heels of General Mills' acquisition of Blue Buffalo Pet Products, The J. M. Smucker Co. has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Ainsworth Pet Nutrition LLC in a transaction valued at approximately $1.7 billion, after an estimated tax benefit of $200 million.
The company also announced this week that it will explore strategic options for its U.S. baking business, including a potential sale.
Ainsworth is a producer, distributor and marketer of premium pet food and pet snacks, predominately within the U.S. Approximately two-thirds of Ainsworth's sales are generated by its Rachael Ray Nutrish brand, which is driving significant growth in the premium pet food category, says Smucker Co. Ainsworth also sells pet food and pet snacks under several additional branded and private label trademarks.
Smucker Co. says it expects to see a number of benefits from the transaction.
Smucker Co. anticipates that the transaction will strengthen its position in dog snacks with the presence of Nutrish in fast-growth segments, including natural meats and long-lasting chews. While Nutrish has a relatively smaller presence in premium cat food, the brand is well-positioned for significant growth in this segment, the company adds.
Smucker Co. anticipates the acquired business to contribute net sales of approximately $800 million in the first full year after closing the transaction.
Annual cost synergies of approximately $55 million are expected to be fully realized within three years after closing, with approximately $25 million anticipated in the first year. After giving effect to the first year of synergies, the company expects the acquired business to generate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of approximately $110 million in the first full year after closing the transaction, excluding one-time costs, and contribute approximately $0.25 of accretion to the company's adjusted earnings per share.
The all-cash transaction, which Smucker Co. will fund with debt, is valued at $1.9 billion, prior to an expected tax benefit related to the acquisition with a present value of approximately $200 million. After factoring in the estimated tax benefit and anticipated annual cost synergies of $55 million, the purchase price represents a multiple of approximately 12 times EBITDA.
Ainsworth is a privately-held company headquartered in Meadville, Pennsylvania. In addition to its headquarters, the transaction includes two manufacturing facilities owned by Ainsworth, which are located in Meadville, Pennsylvania, and Frontenac, Kansas, and a leased distribution facility in Greenville, Pennsylvania. Smucker Co. anticipates that more than 700 Ainsworth employees will join the company in conjunction with the transaction. Ainsworth operates two additional manufacturing facilities that are primarily used to provide contract manufacturing services to third-party pet food distributors. Those facilities and the associated business are not included in this transaction.
The transaction is expected to close early in Smucker Co.'s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions including receipt of required regulatory approvals.
The company is reviewing strategic options, including a potential divestiture, for its U.S. baking business that primarily encompasses products sold in U.S. retail channels under the Pillsbury, Martha White, Hungry Jack, White Lily and Jim Dandy brands, along with all relevant trademarks and licensing agreements, and its manufacturing facility in Toledo, Ohio.
Smucker Co. holds a 20-year, perpetually renewable, royalty-free license for the use of the Pillsbury brand name and related trademarks, which is transferable at the company's discretion. Its baking business in Canada, which consists of products primarily sold under the Carnation, Eagle Brand, Five Roses, Golden Temple and Robin Hood brands, is excluded from this review.
The company's U.S. baking brands are expected to generate net sales of approximately $370 million for Smucker Co.'s fiscal year ending April 30 and are primarily reported in the company's U.S. retail consumer foods segment. The review is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of the company's 2019 fiscal year.

People are dying crossing borders. It shouldn't take shocking photos to change that | Maya Goodfellow
The image of a father and daughter drowned on the US border is harrowing. We need a radical shift in how migrants are seen
"The politicians said after the deaths in my family: 'Never again!' Everyone claimed they wanted to do something because of the photo that touched them so much. But what is happening now?" said Alan Kurdi's father, Abdullah, a year after his wife and two sons died trying to seek refuge in Europe, and a photograph of his youngest, face down, drowned on a beach in Turkey, appeared on the front pages of newspapers across the world. "People are still dying and nobody is doing anything about it." His words are still instructive today.
