2019 Emerge Festival
Thu, Apr 5, 2018 (midnight)
Place, politics, love—they're all themes in singer/songwriter Kevin Morby's discography. With vocals and song structures reminiscent of a modern Bob Dylan, the former Woods bassist and one half of rock duo The Babies creates vivid pictures of life in its various forms, be it in the bustling city or the sleepy countryside. We caught up with Morby to talk about his latest album, City Music.

How different is touring and performing as a solo artist compared to doing it with the bands you've been in? They're both challenges in their own right, but it's obviously a lot different. You're the leader and you're kind of the boss and get to experience the highest highs and lowest lows. When I was in Woods, I had a great time. I was kind of just along for the ride, but at the same time I didn't feel like I was creatively getting out what I wanted to, and with this I absolutely do. It's its own new experience. At this point, I've been doing it for five years, and I'm pretty set in my ways.
You wrote "Beautiful Strangers," a song that addresses gun violence and police brutality, after the Bataclan shooting in Paris in 2015. That song feels especially relevant to Las Vegas following the Route 91 Harvest shooting. When did you become an advocate for gun control? I've always sort of been against guns, ever since I was a kid. They've always been frightening to me, and it's just one of those things that places too much power in the hands of someone that could very easily be irresponsible with that power … The song, I wrote it at a time where I felt heartbroken with a lot of different things in the world, and I funneled it into that song. I wanted to make it charitable, because I bring up certain things and certain tragic events and I didn't want to profit off of that.
The reason why I chose gun control was because it's something I believe in … It's a weird thing, every time there's a new shooting, it's kind of an awkward feeling [where I'm] thinking, "Oh man, people are relating to my music because another tragedy has happened." That's another part of why it's important that song is charitable. I want that money to be going toward something that can hopefully change. Ideally, people wont be able to relate to that song anymore.
You released City Music last year. It feels like setting has a real influence on you, whether it's the country or the city. It's very true. With that record, it was very much a yin-yang effect, where it's the yin to the album before it. Singing Saw was this rural landscape, it had this openness to it, and I wanted to create something with a similar sentiment but with a different background. I wanted it to feel sort of claustrophobic, and it's set in the city. I think music and art are fun to play with—you're telling a story, but the characters will change and the setting will change and that's what keeps art interesting to me and keeps it fun—changing the color that's around something.
You wrote the album about New York, but you're living in Kansas City. Did you write the album before you moved? I did write it before. I wrote it in Los Angeles, but I lived in New York for seven years. I feel like a lot of times, I write after the fact. It's like I'll have an experience and I don't write about the experience while I'm having it. I'll have the experience, and then I'll process it later. When I moved to LA, I was able to look at my time in New York and write reflectively about that, whereas when I was in New York, I didn't have as much time to actually sit down and process my feelings around it.
You recently covered two Songs: Ohia tracks with Katie Crutchfield, the front woman of Waxahatchee, who's also playing Emerge. How did that collaboration come about? Katie is someone who is very inspiring to me. Katie and I toured about a year ago and we became very close and on that tour we talked a lot about Songs: Ohia and Jason Molina and kind of bonded over that. I'd been listening to a lot of Jason Molina, and I'm on the same label, so I did a demo and I sent it to Chris Swanson who runs Secretly Canadian—he's kind of the guy who signed Jason Molina so many years ago. He immediately got back to me and was really excited about it, and it kind of felt like too powerful of a thing for me to take on by myself, and I naturally thought, oh, maybe Katie and I can to it together. So that's how it came about, and I'm pretty proud of that. I think that we did a pretty good job.
You mention Australian singer Alex Cameron a lot on your Twitter feed—any chance you'd collaborate with him in the future? Who knows. I love Alex. We've known each other a long time. I actually just saw him in LA. I took him on one of his first tours in Europe, he was opening for me and it was just him and an iPad. Then I saw him the other night in LA and he had a full band and they were really good. Him and [saxophonist] Roy [Molloy] are hilarious, and so that was cool to see Alex's full vision realized. I was very inspired by that. They're hilarious and they're endlessly entertaining.
It's interesting how social media allows fans to see which musicians are friends and how they like to prop each other up. I have that with Alex, poking each other on social media, and then also with Whitney, we have this prank—we're always kind of f*cking with one another. We pretend that we have beef with each other and it's really funny.
Have you ever played Vegas before? I've never played Las Vegas. I've been there before for sure. When I lived in LA, I would book flights out of Vegas, because it was cheaper and it was a fun excuse to just go there and go to a casino for the night. I'm not much of a gambler, but we'll see what me and my band get into.

Old Cartoon Depicts Suffragettes as Saw-Toothed Crones
ByJezebel
Before women were granted the right to vote in 1918 and 1920 in the UK and US, respectively, there was a very, very long discussion about whether giving women the vote was a good idea in the first place. In fact, people were so adamantly against giving women the vote that the more artistically inclined of the anti-suffragette set were fond of creating tacky anti-ladyvoting postcards, that presumably they could swap with other anti-suffragettes and then laugh and laugh. Here's Collectors' Weekly's Lisa Hix explaining the history of the postcards as an old timey meme.
Think of them like the turn of the 20th century equivalent of the poorly photoshopped Obama with a bone through his nose email forward.
Anyway, enjoy this rundown on how suffragettes are ugly, loveless hags who want only to steal pants (and dicks, probably!) from the men and forcing the dudes to do dehumanizing lady things like hold children and get bossed around. Giving women rights is just like taking rights away from men!
With a little updating, these could easily be retooled into Romney/Ryan ads.

This book presents a compilation of 50 landmarks, including towns, cathedrals, hostels, natural areas and historical and artistic monuments, of different styles and origins. All are to be found on the most common Way of St James and close to the age-old pilgrimage route: what is known as the French Route. These 50 landmarks were carefully selected through an exhaustive study to reduce the must-see places on the Way of St James to fifty.
Many reprints and tens of thousands of copies sold have encouraged the Sua Publishers to up-date this guide, a reference book for bike tourists for more than 15 years. All the stages have been revisited, checking the roads and detours, and all the practical information has been updated. Now the guide contains even more information, so that it better meets the needs of anyone wanting to do the Way of St James from now onwards.


An editor from the online health magazine Healthline contacted me and asked me to write a contributing article about Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA). Here it is. I'm convinced that PBA is the worst thing in the whole wide world.

Orange, CA, August 07, 2017 — Alcen Renewable is proud of U.S. leadership in wind power – America's largest source of renewable energy capacity supporting over 100,000 U.S. jobs across all 50 states. Modern wind turbines were invented in the U.S. and American wind projects are among the most productive in the world. This week is the first American Wind Week, when businesses, schools, government and communities across the country are encouraged to share what American wind power leadership means to them.
Wind is a powerful job creator, with over 100,000 American wind workers across all 50 states. Wind jobs grew 9 times faster than the overall economy last year, and"wind turbine technician" is the fastest growing job in America, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over 60 percent of the value of a wind project is made-in-America by 25,000 workers at over 500 factories. Wind jobs are well-paying careers and an opportunity for U.S. veterans, which wind employs at a rate 50 percent higher than the average industry.
Thanks to wind energy's low and stable prices, major brands like Google, General Motors, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, and Walmart are buying wind energy to power the products and services you use every day. Google is 95 percent powered by wind energy. General Motors powers its Arlington Assembly plant in Texas, which makes over 1,000 SUVs a day, with 50 percent wind energy this year, expanding to 100 percent next year. Every bottle of Tide, Downy and Mr. Clean ismade with 100 percent wind energy.

Gourgion Tower ( or It-Torri Gorġun, ) was a fortified house in the outskirts of Xewkija, Gozo, Malta. The tower was built by Giovanni Gourgion in 1690, and it became a symbol of the village of Xewkija. Despite being listed on the Antiquities List in 1925, it was demolished by American forces in 1943 to make way for an airfield for the Allied invasion of Sicily.

History
Gourgion Tower was built by and named after Giovanni Gourgion, a Gozitan nobleman who had made a fortune in corsairing against Ottoman shipping, and who was the personal secretary of Grand Masters Gregorio Carafa and Adrien de Wignacourt. The tower was completed in 1690, and served as the centrepiece of Gourgion's estates and a farmhouse in Gozo. According to tradition, Grand Master Wignacourt himself attended the opening ceremony of the tower, but this is unlikely since it is not recorded in any archives.

In 1798, during the French occupation of Malta, some of the coats of arms at Gourgion Tower were defaced by French forces. Some alterations were made to the structure over the years, including the addition of a room on the first floor.

The tower was listed on the Antiquities List of 1925.

Demolition
The tower was demolished between 16 and 20 June 1943 to make way for Runway No. 1 of the Ta' Lambert Airfield. The demolition work was carried out by Americans from the Company E of the 21st Engineer Aviation Regiment, as well as 300 Gozitan labourers. The airfield was inaugurated on 23 June, and was used during the Allied invasion of Sicily which started on 9 July. It became redundant on 14 July, when American aircraft moved to the Ponte Olivo Airfield in Sicily. The last planes left on 19 July, and the airfield was cleared back to agricultural land in June 1944.

According to some sources, Gourgion Tower was dismantled not demolished, and the Americans marked all the stones so the tower could be rebuilt. When the airfield was cleared in 1944, the authorities reportedly asked the owners if they wanted the tower to be rebuilt or financial compensation, and the owners chose the second option. However, this claim is not verified in any documentary source.

Many of the tower's inscriptions and decorated stones were retrieved by Lawrence Zammit Haber, and they were later donated to the Gozo Museum of Archaeology. They were displayed there for a number of years, but were later removed and are now in storage at Heritage Malta.

Architecture
The Gourgion Tower was meant to serve both as a country retreat and a defensive position, so it was largely utilitarian in nature. The structure was rectangular, and its architecture had similarities to the Bubaqra Tower on mainland Malta. A notable feature of the tower was a domed stair-hood, which was similar to echauguettes found in the Hospitaller fortifications of Malta. The tower also contained eight balcony-like structures, which were similar to the machicolation, found in earlier structures such as Gauci Tower, and to a Mashrabiya. The design derive from architecture of the Middle-East, and evolved to local interpretation.

The tower's façade had musketry loopholes, and was decorated with the coats of arms of Gourgion, Carafa and Wignacourt, as well as a number of inscriptions and other sculptures. The three coats of arms were defaced during the French occupation.

Gourgion's estates near the tower were surrounded by a boundary wall, which also contained a number of inscriptions and an ornate public well.

The ready event occurs when the DOM (document object model) has been loaded.
Because this event occurs after the document is ready, it is a good place to have all other jQuery events and functions. Like in the example above.
The ready() method specifies what happens when a ready event occurs.
Tip: The ready() method should not be used together with <body onload="">.


In order to deliver server access logs, the destination bucket must have log delivery write permissions. I share the necessary classes to contain the json parsing, I avoid the set and get to not be so extensive. Specified by: in interface Parameters: deleteBucketRequest - The request object containing all options for deleting an Amazon S3 bucket. If invalid security credentials are used to execute this method, the client is not able to distinguish between bucket permission errors and invalid credential errors, and this method could return an incorrect result. However, bucket names must be unique across all of Amazon S3. Returns: true if the bucket is enabled for Requester Pays else false. Every object stored in Amazon S3 is contained within a bucket.
Once your bucket has been configured as a website, you can access all your content via the Amazon S3 website endpoint. Anonymous requests are never allowed to create buckets. You can force the client to operate in an anonymous mode, and skip the credentials provider chain, by passing in null for the credentials. These common prefixes can be retrieved by calling the method. To remove the notification configuration pass in an empty request. List results are always returned in lexicographic alphabetical order.
These rolled-up keys are not returned elsewhere in the response. Part number can be any number between 1 and 10,000, inclusive. Note that Region enumeration values are not returned directly from this method. It is a privileged operation that only the owner of the bucket containing the version can perform. It can take time for the versioning status of a bucket to be propagated throughout the system. Depending on the request parameters, additional information is returned, such as common prefixes if a delimiter was specified.
To copy an object, the caller's account must have read access to the source object and write access to the destination bucket. When you do this the Base Query is run an initial time to hydrate the cache with data, and on each network reconnect the Delta Query is run to just get the changed data. Returns: The bucket website configuration for the specified bucket, otherwise null if there is no website configuration set for the specified bucket. Because buckets can contain a virtually unlimited number of versions, the complete results of a list query can be extremely large. Internally this uses the operation to determine whether the bucket exists. Performance does not vary based on the number of buckets used.
. Specified by: in interface Parameters: deleteBucketAnalyticsConfigurationRequest - The request object to delete the analytics configuration. However, bucket names must be unique across all of Amazon S3. Always check the method to determine if the returned listing is complete or if additional calls are needed to get more results. The keyMarker and versionIdMarker parameters allow callers to specify where to start the version listing. Calling this operation on a bucket with no website configuration does not throw an exception. The specified bucket must already exist and the caller must have permission to the bucket to upload an object.
By default, only the bucket owner can configure the website attached to a bucket. Throws: - If any errors are encountered in the client while making the request or handling the response. Returns: An object containing the inventory configuration. Specified by: in interface Parameters: bucketName - The name of the bucket for which to retrieve tagging configuration. Because buckets can contain a virtually unlimited number of keys, the complete results of a list query can be extremely large. Throws: - If any errors are encountered in the client while making the request or handling the response. Internally this uses the operation to determine whether the bucket exists.
Amazon S3 Bucket Operations 5. Specified by: in interface Parameters: deleteBucketCrossOriginConfigurationRequest - The request object containing all options for deleting the bucket cross origin configuration. See for accessing a given region. An in-progress multipart upload is a multipart upload that has been initiated, using the InitiateMultipartUpload request, but has not yet been completed or aborted. Specified by: in interface Parameters: getBucketVersioningConfigurationRequest - The request object for retrieving the bucket versioning configuration. Amazon S3 is eventually consistent.
Bucket policies provide access control management at the bucket level for both the bucket resource and contained object resources. If attempting to delete an object that does not exist, Amazon S3 returns a success message instead of an error message. For example, the below code shows how you would update the CreateTodoMutation mutation from earlier by creating a optimisticWrite CreateTodoInput createTodoInput helper method that has the same input. For simple needs, use the method. To host your website in Amazon S3, create a bucket, upload your files, and configure it as a website. Conclusion In this article, we focused on the basics of interacting with the Amazon S3 web service — both at the bucket and the object level.
To see deeper into the virtual hierarchy, make another call to listObjects setting the prefix parameter to any interesting common prefix to list the individual keys under that prefix. Specified by: in interface Parameters: deletePublicAccessBlockRequest - The request object for deleting the buckets Public Access Block configuration. Once we have this DeleteObjectsRequest object, we can pass it to deleteObjects method of our s3client as an argument. Specified by: in interface Parameters: getObjectTaggingRequest - The request object containing all the options on how to retrieve the Amazon S3 object tags. Specified by: in interface Parameters: getPublicAccessBlockRequest - The request object for getting the buckets Public Access Block configuration.

Mindwarp
Publication Date 15 June 1989
Accused of `crimes against the inviolate laws of evolution, The Doctor is on trial for his life.
The sinister prosecutor, The Valeyard, presents the High Council of Time Lords with the second piece of evidence against The Doctor: a dramatic adventure on the planet Thoros Beta which led to the renegade Time Lord' summons to the Court of Enquiry.
But as The Doctor watches the scenes on the Matrix he is puzzled by what he sees – his behaviour is not as he remembers. Only one thing is certain: on the evidence of the Matrix The Doctor is surely guilty as charged …
CHAPTER TITLES
DEVIATIONS FROM THE TELEVISED STORY
Martin adds a tongue-in-cheek epilogue that reveals that Peri had not died as The Doctor had believed, but that she and Yrconos fell in love and travelled to Earth in he 20th century. Yrconos took up a career as a professional wrestler, with Peri as his manager. This ending spoils the later revelation of Peris survival in The Ultimate Foe. While the fact of Peri and Yrconos falling in love is consistent with the later story, the rest of it contradicts both televised and novelised versions of the The Ultimate Foe, as well as Per's later appearances in books such as Bad Therapy.However, the revelation in Peri and the Piscon Paradox that the Time Lords created multiple timelines for Per leaves the door open for this variant fate to exist alongside the other fates described for Peri
The book opens with The Doctor musing on vague memories of the events on Thoros-Beta.
The novelisation adds an extra trial room character, Zon, who operates the matrix link.
The Valeyard makes several attempts to claim he has proved The Doctor's life is forfeit only for The Doctor and the Inquisitor to insist the event be shown in full.
The Doctor is more obviously bloodthirsty after being exposed to the mindwarp machine, even encouraging Yrcanos to hurt Peri.
Dorf is killed taking a blast meant for Yrcanos rather than being shot in the back.
Kani is referred to simply as the Matrona throughout.
The rebel Verne is divided into two characters, Ger and Sorn.
The third Mentor is named Marne and is introduced earlier overseeing the Induction Centre. He assures The Doctor he will not sound the alarm since it will hurt his ears, only for a guard to do so instead.
Instead of Frax handing The Doctor his phaser and the Doctor pointing it at him, The Doctor takes it from Frax's holster and gives it to Yrcanos.
The trial sequence ends with The Valeyard promising to present evidence from The Doctor's future. This does not match either televised or novelised version of Terror of the Vervoids in which the future segment is The Doctor's defence. (This may be a relic of an early version of the storyline, leading into the unproduced story Attack from the Mind.)

'Many still in danger': At least 100 dead across Germany and Belgium after floods amid warning dam could burst
At least 92 people have been killed and dozens are missing after catastrophic flooding across Germany and Belgium, which has left several villages cut off and sparked fears that a dam could burst.
Officials have warned that communities in both countries "are still in danger" following Thursday's catastrophe, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel expecting "many" more deaths.
The total number killed in Germany alone has already risen to at least 81, according to broadcaster ARD, and around 1,300 people are unaccounted for in Ahrweiler county in Rhineland-Palatinate state.
In Belgium, 11 deaths have been reported.
Flood damage in Schuld
"I grieve for those who have lost their lives in this disaster," said Ms Merkel, during a visit to Washington.
"We still don't know the number, but it will be many."
Entire communities lay in ruins after rivers burst their banks and swept through towns and villages causing scores of homes to collapse and widespread devastation following days of torrential rain.
More on Belgium
The full extent of the damage in the regions affected remains unclear as many remote villages remain cut off by flood water and landslides that have made roads impassable.
So far, at least 30 people are confirmed dead in Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia state, and another 28 in Rhineland-Palatinate state to the south.
Four people died in separate incidents after basements were flooded in Cologne, Kamen and Wuppertal, where authorities warned that a dam could burst.
Authorities in Rhine-Sieg county south of Cologne ordered the evacuation of several villages below the Steinbach reservoir amid fears the dam there could break.
The governor of Rhineland-Palatinate state, Malu Dreyer, told the regional parliament: "There are people dead, there are people missing, there are many who are still in danger.
"We have never seen such a disaster. It's really devastating."

Keane: The Summer Series at Trinity College Dublin
FestivalMusic
Keane have announced their outdoor performance at The Summer Series 2020, Trinity College Dublin in July 2020
Following their sold out show at the Olympia Theatre this past October, Keane's newest album Cause and Effect, is the fifth record by the UK band. The birth of this new album came as something of a surprise even to the band. Though singer Tom Chaplin released two successful solo albums, he missed his old sparring partner fellow Keane bandmate Tim Rice-Oxley. "I found myself wondering how I had come to let this very enigmatic and important relationship in my life drift," Tom says.
Meanwhile Tim found his life falling apart and from the ashes had written an album's worth of incredibly personal songs fuelled by humour as well as pain. When Tom, bassist Jesse Quin and drummer Richard Hughes heard the songs, they were immediately drawn to them both sonically and lyrically.
The Summer Series 2020 is a huge welcome for the band, as they take to the summer stage in Trinity College Dublin on Thursday July 2nd, 2020.
Tickets are available at €49.90, and go on sale on Friday November 29th, 2019 at 9am via Ticketmaster
- The Grafton Quarter
College Green, Dublin 2, Co. Dublin, Ireland

On 1 Mar 1775, a group of middling-class Boston activists sent a letter to the Sons of Liberty in New York, asking to set up a regular correspondence so as to share news and "contradict the many infamous lies which are propagated by the Enemies of our Country."
Three of those Bostonians are well known to the authorities at Boston 1775: silversmith Paul Revere, printer Benjamin Edes, and decorative painter Thomas Crafts, Jr.
The other three were also active in the Patriot movement:
Joshua Brackett, proprietor of the Cromwell's Head tavern on School Street.
schoolmaster Joseph Ward (in Paul Revere and the World He Lived In, Esther Forbes misidentified him as a distiller).
Thomas Chase, whose South End distillery stood next to Liberty Tree.
Of those six men, three (Edes, Crafts, and Chase) had been part of the "Loyall Nine," the political club that helped organize Boston's Stamp Act protests in 1765. Three (Revere, Ward, and Crafts) would gain the title "colonel" in the coming war.
The Bostonians asked to set up a correspondence with their counterparts in New York so as to share news and "contradict the many infamous lies which are propagated by the Enemies of our Country." They added a postscript about Lt. Col. Alexander Leslie's recent unsuccessful raid on Salem:
Enclosed you have an account of the late Expedition which terminated to the honour of Americans. In addition to the secrecy with which the maneuvre to Salem was conducted, we inform you that three persons were occasionally at the castle on Saturday afternoon and were detained there till 10 o'clock on Monday lest we should send an Express to our brethren at Marblehead and Salem.
When that letter, now in the John Lamb Papers at the New-York Historical Society, was printed in Elbridge Goss's 1891 biography of Revere, there was one small error. Instead of saying "three persons," Goss's transcription said "these persons."
While writing her biography of Revere, Forbes interpreted "these persons" to refer to the men who had signed the letter, including the silversmith. At the time Revere was leading an effort to gather information about the army, so she concluded that he and his colleagues had gone to Castle William to spy on the troops. Later she fictionalized the same scene by adding her young hero Johnny Tremain, but then removed those pages from her final manuscript.
The letter to the New Yorkers is correctly transcribed in David Hackett Fischer's Paul Revere's Ride, where I first read about this mixup years ago. What's more, the word "occasionally" in eighteenth-century usage implies that the three people detained at the fort just happened to be there on business rather than to be spying on the army. Since the letter offers no first-hand details about being held at the Castle, we can feel certain that none of those three men were Revere or his colleagues (or Johnny Tremain).

Just for interest, by way of family connections in the study of New England history: Esther Forbes' mother was Harriette Merrifield Forbes, whose 1927 book Gravestones of Early New England and the Men Who Made Them remains the most comprehensive study of early New England stonecarvers and the foundation for all subsequent work. Her photographs are a core collection at the AAS in Worcester, and the Association for Gravestone Studies presents the Forbes Award for distinguished work in the field.

I am reading Esther Forbes bio on Paul Revere and I am enjoying it very much.Revere was much more involved in all the build up to the Revolution than I realised.
According to Forbes he became an accomplished rider to NY.Phil.,etc with important messages for the leaders resisting British taxes and military occupation.He risked capture many times.
In the book I get the sense that Revere enjoyed the role he played in resisting British control.


John S. Simmons, founding attorney of Simmons Law Firm in Columbia, S.C., was recently selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2017 in the field of White-Collar Criminal Defense. John was also named the 2017 The Best Lawyers in America White Collar Criminal Defense "Lawyer of the Year" for Columbia, South Carolina. Only a single lawyer in each practice area in each community is honored as the "Lawyer of the Year".
In addition to this recent honor, John holds Martindale-Hubbell's highest AV rating, is Lead Counsel rated, and is a member of the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, South Carolina Super Lawyers and the National Trial Lawyers Association Top 100 Trial Lawyers. In 1992, John served as the youngest Presidentially-appointed United States Attorney in the country, having been named to the post by President George Bush.

Prior to becoming United States Attorney, John was an assistant United States Attorney in charge of prosecutions involving environmental and white collar crimes.
On May 9, 2016, lawyers with Simmons Law Firm, Bluestein Nichols Thompson & Delgado, and Jordan, Rauton & Scott filed a lawsuit alleging that the Town of Turbeville has been enforcing an unconstitutional town traffic ordinance and imposing fines well in excess of those permitted by State law.
According to the Complaint, Drivers cited under the Turbeville ordinance are incentivized to pay the increased fines based on the Turbeville Police Department's statements that the tickets are not reported to the DMV or to the driver's insurance company. The complaint also alleges that when a driver challenges the validity of the ordinance, Turbeville has either altered the citation to a valid State traffic ticket or dismissed the charge to avoid judicial review.
Although the Attorney General's Office has stated that "local authorities are absolutely prohibited from enforcing any traffic offense pursuant to State or local law using a local ordinance summons," Turbeville officers have continued to write tickets to drivers who violate the town ordinance.
Therefore, the lawyers with Simmons Law Firm, Bluestein Nichols Thompson & Delgado, and Jordan, Rauton & Scott filed the class action lawsuit seeking a declaration that Turbeville's traffic ordinance is unconstitutional and seeking recovery on behalf of two named plaintiffs and all others who are similarly situated.
Because this is a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of all persons ticketed under the Turbeville ordinance, we are currently not signing up additional clients or representing individuals with pending criminal charges under the Turbeville traffic ordinance.

Heavy rainfall and flooding has damaged many homes and vehicles in the Columbia, South Carolina over the last several days. Typically, flood damage is covered by car insurance policies if the policyholders carry comprehensive coverage. However, most homeowners' policies specifically exclude flood damage unless the policyholder carries flood insurance.
Undoubtedly, losing one's home can cause extensive financial damage that is nearly impossible to recover from. For that reason, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has instituted an Individual and Households Program (IHP), which provides direct financial assistance to people who's homes were damaged or destroyed by flood damage.
You must have losses in an area that has been declared a disaster by the President of the United States.
Your primary residence has been affected, and damages to your primary residence are disaster related.
Your primary residence is uninhabitable or inaccessible.
The disaster-caused need cannot be met through other forms of disaster assistance or insurance.
You have insufficient or no insurance.
All money provided by FEMA is tax-free and must be spent to rent another place to live, to make the home repairs identified by FEMA, or to replace or repair personal or real property.
Please stay safe during the next few days. Events like this are a great reminder about how important community is, so make sure to lend a helping hand to your friends and neighbors during this time of crisis.
Resolving legal claims involving Medicare beneficiaries can be challenging, and as the number of Medicare recipients continues to grow, attorneys will face more and more of these claims.
In an effort to address many of the issues surrounding Medicare claims, Simmons Law Firm Attorneys John S. Simmons and Derek A. Shoemake recently published an article in Trial magazine, Dealing with carriers under Medicare's more watchful eye, which discusses the law governing Medicare beneficiaries and the steps attorneys must take in complying with Medicare's requirements.
As the article highlights, Medicare has just unveiled an electronic portal where attorneys can resolve Medicare issues online. The article gives step-by-step instructions on how to navigate this new electronic portal while also detailing the traditional steps involved in resolving a Medicare claim.
Additionally, insurance carriers have begun invoking many of Medicare's long-standing regulations and newer reporting requirements as a way to interject themselves into the resolution process – including a demand that the carrier pay and deal with Medicare directly. The article walks through these newer reporting requirements, explains why the insurance carriers are asking too much, and discusses options on how to deal with such carriers.
The article should help attorneys representing Medicare beneficiaries deal with carriers who demand an intrusive role in resolving Medicare claims before having to take those carriers through the process that unnerves insurance companies more than Medicare recovery: trial.
On March 19, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit determined that attorneys defending AT&T in a patent infringement case made a $40 million mistake.
AT&T's problems began when Two-Way Media, LLC filed a lawsuit contending that AT&T infringed upon several patents. A jury found in favor of Two-Way Media, awarding it $27.5 million in damages. The trial court also awarded costs and interest, bringing the total judgment to approximately $40 million. After the verdict, AT&T filed a number of post-trial motions, seeking judgment as a matter of law or a new trial. A little over a month later, the trial court denied AT&T's motions and sent electronic copies of the orders to 18 lawyers and legal assistants. However, the orders were incorrectly labeled in the federal court's electronic docketing system.
AT&T claimed that it did not realize that it's post-trial motions were denied for almost two months, at which point the deadline to appeal had passed. AT&T requested that the trial court reopen the appeal period, but the trial court denied this request. AT&T appealed the trial court's decision and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed in a split decision, finding that AT&T's failure to read the orders and file a timely appeal was not excusable. Thus, AT&T was liable to Two-Way Media for the entire jury verdict.
This case is a stark reminder that attorneys must be familiar with court rules and diligent in maintaining their files in order to effectively advocate for their clients. When considering your appellate options, time is of the essence so it is vital to contact a qualified appellate attorney as soon as possible.
In an Order representing a sea change in the way that attorneys must handle appellate filings, the South Carolina Court of Appeals held this week that the time period for filing an appeal starts running upon receipt of an email referencing or attaching a filed copy of the order or judgment.
On Wednesday, August 26, 2015, the Court of Appeals issued an Order dismissing an appeal based on a new interpretation of the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules (SCACR). Rule 203(b)(1), SCACR, requires a party seeking to appeal an order or judgment to serve a copy of the notice of appeal on opposing parties within "thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of entry of the order or judgment." This rule has been commonly understood to begin the thirty-day time period when a party receives a copy of the order or judgment in the mail.
In Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Fallon Properties South Carolina, LLC et al., the master-in-equity sent the attorneys in a foreclosure action an email on December 15, 2014 stating: "Please see attached copy of signed and clocked Form 4 and Order. I have also mailed a copy to all listed on the Form 4." The losing party's attorney received a hard copy of the Order in the mail on December 18, 2014. Following the traditional interpretation of Rule 203(b)(1), SCACR, the losing party's attorney filed a notice of appeal on January 15, 2015—thirty-one days after the attorney received the email but only twenty-eight days after the attorney received a hard copy of the Order in the mail. Opposing counsel filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as untimely, which was granted by the Court of Appeals.
In addition to altering the way attorneys must handle appellate filings, the broad language in the Order also has wide-ranging repercussions for trial lawyers who file motions for reconsideration under Rule 59(e), SCRCP, which contains identical "receipt of written notice of entry of the order or judgment" language. Although it is entirely possible that the South Carolina Supreme Court will reverse the Court of Appeals' Order and revert to the traditional method of calculating timelines, in the meantime this Order is bound to cause confusion among practicing attorneys of all experience levels.
This case is a stark reminder that attorneys must be familiar with court rules and diligent in maintaining their files in order to effectively advocate for their clients.
All of the attorneys at Simmons Law Firm have experience clerking for state or federal judges and are intimately familiar with the rules for handling state and federal appeals. When considering your appellate options, time is of the essence so it is vital to contact a qualified appellate attorney as soon as possible. If you or someone you know would like to discuss your appellate options, please contact the Simmons Law Firm at 803-779-4600, toll-free at 888-715-8818, or online at http://www.simmonslawfirm.com/contact.php for a free initial consultation.
Who are all the attractive people in the doctor's waiting room?
Have you ever waited in the doctor's office and wondered about all of the attractive sales people moving through the offices with familiarity? More often than not, these are sales people for various pharmaceutical companies.
(1) What are the doctors receiving from the companies? and (2) how much influence does these sales people have over prescribing practices?
At Simmons Law Firm, we have deposed and/or cross examined hundreds of doctors and sales representatives about sales practices. Some of the testimony and evidence is pretty enlightening. For example, in one case, the notes from sales meetings exposed that the representative and doctor were playing golf and betting on how many prescriptions the doctor would write for the rep's drug.
Other doctors across the country have been questioned about the gifts they have received from pharma companies, including extravagant trips and payments into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for delivering "canned speeches." Ghostwriting has also been reported. In response to whistleblower lawsuits and settlement requirements, many pharma companies have been required to post spending amounts to doctors.
The related question: How does this influence what drugs a doctor prescribes? Physicians like to emphasize their independence and proclaim that the sales pitches, gifts and trips don't influence their professional judgment. We are sure that this is the case with many professionals.
However, there are numerous studies showing the influence pharma wields over physicians and other health care professionals. This influence raises other issues. How much time does a busy physician really have to investigate and understand dozens and dozens of drugs available for his or her prescribing? Perhaps more importantly, what about the information provided to the physician from the drug company? Have unfavorable studies been buried or minimized?
Many of these questions remain unanswered, but it seems clear that pharma has influenced doctors in the past, and will likely continue to do so.

If you keep up with HR news, you'll know that dumping performance management is a hot topic.
Over the last few years, both Deloitte and Accenture have announced their intention to drop traditional performance appraisals in preference for more fluid, incremental structures. They're not the first to do this. In fact, many organisations have been transforming performance management systems for years, including other market leaders such as Microsoft and Adobe Systems, if not fully embracing the "massive revolution" Accenture CEO Pierre Nanterre describes.
What is the case against traditional performance management?
There are many sides to this argument, but the central issue boils down to whether you are returning enough results from the time you invest into performance management. We all know that to simply survive companies are placing a larger emphasis on value engineering, and performance management, like any other process, is subject to review. Performance management is onerous, not only from a paperwork perspective but from the view of organisational productivity. Consider the time, as a leader, you spend on "official" performance management, and your return on investment. Is it worth it?
But haven't we been talking about the constant need for employee feedback as as essential to boosting engagement?
Yes, and it remains so. The point is the way in which it is framed. There's plenty of research that suggests that traditional performance management can be perceived as a negative process, even when good news is being given. Likewise, the questions that arise over whether performance management – designed to boost productivity and enhance performance – is actually achieving its desired objective now constitute whole practice lines in many leading consultancy firms, clearly demonstrating a disconnect.
How does changing performance management methods relate to you, as a finance leader?
Reading through Pierre Nanterre's interview with The Washington Post, in which he talks about Accenture's plans to implement a more fluid process of performance management in which feedback is given on an ongoing basis, he clearly makes the connection between the evolution of Accenture's core business area, professional services, and the evolution of performance management as a model.
For him, it is all part and parcel of the same challenge – for the millennial generation, traditional performance management doesn't work. And just as they have had to evolve the way they do business, they have to evolve the way they manage their business, to remain competitive not only from a market perspective, but in order to secure and retain the best talent.
What does this change look like for organisations like Accenture?
Pierre Nanterre centres his new model on the demand for "instant performance management", a fluid and ongoing feedback model that can happen as often as every day. For him, it's about changing the terminology and associations of traditional performance management, stripping out rankings and focusing on non-comparative career management that is centred on real-time opportunities, whilst also leveraging the strengths of the millennial generation such as innovation and an ability to maintain multi-faceted skillsets.
Whatever your business area, it's clear that employee engagement remains one of the global challenges for most organisations across the world. Evaluating your performance management frameworks should be a key priority in any engagement strategy, even more so if your business attracts and retains millennial talent.

Investing In A Montessori Education Is Investing In A
Better Future.
We're raising tomorrow's leaders: future engineers, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs — the people that will shape our world tomorrow start with an exceptional education today.
Investing In A Montessori Education Is Investing In A Better Future.
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM | 2.5 YEARS TO 6 YEARS | SCHOOL DAY: 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. / FULL TIME: 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Montessori is based on the principle of free choice and purposeful activity or "Freedom within limits".The classroom is set up with five main areas of interest: Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language and Cultural and children are allowed to freely choose activities within the classroom. All of the activities have built in control of error parameters so that the child can understand why the material may not be working. All of the activities focus on: Order, Concentration, Co-operation and Independence. We also work with our parents to potty train their child at this level!
INQUIRY BASED LEARNING APPROACH
Our unique Montessori Preschool program focuses on critical thinking, problem-solving, self-confidence and a strong foundation in mathematics, reading and the sciences in a non-stressful environment. Montessori Preschool students demonstrate great joy and passion in their learning. They are critical thinkers that are able to think and communicate efficiently and effectively!
PREPARING YOUR CHILD FOR THE STEAM WORLD
We can all agree the world is becoming more technologically advanced every year. It's why STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) are critical to the future success of your child.
The Montessori system was developed by a scientist. It was designed from the ground up to teach kids STEAM ideas, thinking, and theories. Everything we do here – from life skills to play to academics is designed to inspire a child's natural gifts.
Whatever leadership role your child takes in the future, a solid foundation in technology, science, the arts and math will give them an immense competitive advantage in life. Montessori also teaches and encourages soft skills, which are a skill most desired by employers. Our grace and courtesy curriculum cannot be beat.
ENCOURAGING INDEPENDENCE
All of the activities in our preschool program focus on OCCI: Order, Concentration, Coordination and Independence. There are five main areas in the preschool classroom: Practical life, Sensorial, Math, Language and Cultural. Beyond academics, there are also so many opportunities for social and emotional growth through all of the specials offered (yoga, dance, music and Spanish) and all of the small and large group activities.
Do you do background checks?
We do extensive Criminal Reference checks and Background checks on all of our team members.
How many days per week is your program? What schedules do you offer?
Our program is 5 days per week, Monday – Friday. Recognizing the community's need for extended hours, we are open from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Our Preschool program runs as follows:
Infant: 6 weeks-18 months
Toddler: 18 months-3 years
Primary: 3 years – Kindergarten (Child must be potty trained)
School Day: 8:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
Full Time: 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
What is the benefit of keeping my children through their Kindergarten year?
This is a fair question, and it deserves careful consideration. The following article, Why Montessori for the Kindergarten Year, written by Tim Seldin with Dr. Elizabeth Coe offers an excellent answer.
Will it be hard for my child to transition from a Montessori classroom to traditional school?
When the time comes to move into a more traditional school environment, Montessori children usually adapt very well. Our programs are designed to help children develop positive self-images and confidence so they can face challenges and change with optimism. The Montessori environment helps build self-esteem, which research has shown to be a key predictor for future success.
"She is developing attributes that will serve her for life such as a love for learning"
My 4 year-old daughter has been going to school here for over a year and we could not be happier. We love the teachers and staff most of all! They are kind, nurturing, and experts in their knowledge of children. Our daughter loves school and recently asked to go longer hours. Although the schedule seemed long to us, we obliged because we know what a valuable experience it continues to be for her growth and development. She is developing attributes that will serve her for life such as a love for learning, respect for others, a sense of responsibilty, and confidence in herself. If I could give more stars, I would!

Can Protein Be the Key to New Year Success?
It's that time of year again: the time for New Years Resolutions! And as the countdown to midnight nears, one of the top new years resolutions is to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Eating more fruits and vegetables, doing more physical activity, cutting back on coffee, alcohol and sugar (after new years, of course) are all part of the plan.
Another top resolution for many people, is of course, weight loss. Reaching a healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) if you are overweight has many great benefits and reduces your risk of developing a variety of diseases. It's also a welcome side effect of adopting a healthier lifestyle, but always a challenging resolution.
Thankfully, new research has been taking the guesswork out of healthy weight loss. A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition tracked 3 groups of overweight and obese women who all exercised daily while consuming either a high, adequate or a low protein reduced calorie diet. The results revealed that the group of women who ate the most protein had the greatest fat loss and gained the most lean muscle!
So make increasing your daily intake of protein a part of your healthy lifestyle resolution. May the new year be a year filled with happiness and health!
Happy New Years from Papillex!

Q: how to push a words into an array in javascript I want to split between words but not inside the "@%5967411b349:Jean leo%" tag.
How to fix that ?
let title = "Hello everyone @%5967411b349:Jean leo% and @%5995006d0d:David Leong% wish you have a good day with <audi <samsung and #canon";

const formatTitle = (title) => {
    const results = []
    title.trim().split(" ").map(title => {
        if (title.indexOf("#") === 0) {
            results.push(title)
            results.push(" ")
        }
        else if (title.indexOf("<") === 0) {
            results.push(title)
            results.push(" ")
        }
        else if((title.indexOf(title)) === 0)
        {
            let userTag = title.replace(/[@%]*/g, '').split(':');
            results.push(title)
            results.push(" ")
        }
        else {
            results.push(`${title} `)
            results.push(" ")
        }
    })
    return results
};

formatTitle(title)

expected output : Hello everyone @Jean leo @David Leong wish you have good day with <audi <samsung and #canon

A: It can be rather confusing but regex can achieve this nicely with the replace feature.

let string = "Hello everyone @%5967411b349:Jean leo% and @%5995006d0d:David Leong% wish you have a good day with <audi <samsung and #canon";

console.log(string.replace(/(@%[0-9a-z]{1,}:)([a-zA-Z\s]{1,})(%)/g, "@$2"));

The code would of coarse not be a final solution but possibly an idea starter.
https://regexr.com/5lns0 will demonstrate how the regex is currently working here.

A: I've used regex to solve this issue. You can check this.

let title = "Hello everyone @%5967411b349:Jean leo% and @%5995006d0d:David Leong% wish you have a good day with <audi <samsung and #canon";
title = title.replace(/@\W\w+:(\w+\s\w+)%/g, "@$1");

const titleArray = title.match(/(#?<?\w+)|(\@\w+\s\w+)/g);

console.log(titleArray);

A: I think you are looking for this

let input = "Hello everyone @%5967411b349:Jean leo% and @%5995006d0d:David Leong% wish you have a good day with <audi <samsung and #canon";

const userTag = (str) => {
    str = str.replace(/\@\%(.*?):(\w+)\s+(\w+)\%/g, '@$1:$2_$3');
    let groups = str.match(/[@#<]?\w*:?\w+/g)
                    .map(item => (item.indexOf('@') > -1) ? item.replace('_', ' ') : item);
    console.log(groups);
}

userTag(input);

Q: android activity doesn't recognize my import this question is related to this one. My activity can't implement lifecycleOwner
I suppose this question may contains the answer of lifecycleOwner one.
I find this answer
AppCompatActivity not implementing LifecycleOwner  but it didn't solve my problem
I'm doing an android project in android. In every activity, it just doesn't recognize my imports.
like this:
private EditText edAccount;
edAccount = findViewById(R.id.edAccount);

it says: required: android.widget.EditText Found:android.view.View
But I do imports android.widget.EditText. This happened after i import a new library module. But i don't know what's going on.
Also, the AppCompatActivity doesn't implement lifecycleOwner anymore.

A: Make sure you build your project successfully. it only happen when gradle build is not success.

A: You need to cast it like this:
 private EditText edAccount;
 edAccount = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edAccount);


The HAW continued their streak and we saw another divisional sweep (this time a Civil War reenactment of the North over the South). And the league topped itself again this year with a new 4th all-time weekly scoring total.
With six NFL teams on a bye this week it will be interesting to see who ends up in everyone's starting lineups.
Predacons (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
Cam Newton appears to be back in the board room, and his performance on Thursday night could make or break this one. The Preds have all of their players going at 1pm on Sunday and they'll have to just watch and hope again on MNF. For some reason that has worked more often than not this year.
The bolts came within two points of making the list of top weekly scores of all time. If only Sammy Watkins had waited five more yards to celebrate. Anyway, these two may have the same record but they are going in opposite directions. And they both continue those ways.
Coach HAW has now won 6 in a row and 15 of his last 16 in the regular season. You can go ahead and pencil in another one. Of course he gets the 'Morons when Aaron Rodgers in on a bye (and they have no backup yet on the roster). It's not going to be pretty.
The Stompers finally broke out last week, scoring 95 points and posting the biggest blowout too. Don't expect those numbers again, as half of their players are on a bye and their backup QB doesn't even start for his NFL team anymore. Also, they're playing against Peyton Manning.
Edge to the Vipers since Tony Romo is hurt once again and both of the Brew Crew's staring RBs are on a bye. SpiVi is starting the Steelers D against the Ravens on Sunday night and the Brewers have 2 going on Monday, so this one is going to stretch out the week and make us wait to find out the winner.
You'd think that scoring 92 points in a 3FL game would most likely earn you a victory, but Coach Hoss did just that last week and lost. By 25 points. Let's also mention the fact that Big Ben scored 46 points while sitting on the Marauders' bench. That would have been tied for second all-time if he was playing. But, be honest, he wouldn't have been in your starting lineup either. As for this game, it's going to come down to the wire in prime time. Should be a good one.
