text: Arab-American, Ms. Zaineb Hussein has been employed as the Deputy Political Director for Hillary Clinton in Michigan. There, she will report to Clinton's Michigan Political Director, Tommy Stallworth, who himself is a former Michigan Representative. [caption id="attachment_3877" align="alignleft" width="295"] Ms. Zaineb Hussein[/caption] Hussein has made a significant representation of the Arab-American community and is now the highest ranking Arab-American in the 'Hillary for Michigan' campaign. Hussein's appointment to this position came shortly after the opening of four additional campaign offices in Michigan, one of which is in Dearborn, an area renowned for its high population of Arab-Americans whose presence shaped Michigan's society. Hussein has been involved in politics for quite some time, having played a vital role in the primary season serving as a community activist for the Democratic Party. She was selected as the Director of Constituent Services to Michigan State Senator David Knezek. [caption id="attachment_3878" align="alignright" width="296"] Support of the Arab-American community is vital to Clinton's campaign[/caption] The community has speculated that by selecting an Arab-American in a high ranking campaign position such as this can only increase Clinton's popularity among Michigan residents. Many members of her community have commended her for contributing and being active in their society and feel that Clinton is fortunate to have someone with her dynamic personality working on the campaign. During the Michigan primary, the Arab-Americans voted mostly for the former Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders. Their support for Sanders was seen as a major blow to Clinton's campaign, and she needs their support for the upcoming elections in November. Arab-Americans play an important role in local politics, a step towards the enforcement of "positive policy developments" at a national level, starting with the local community. Hussein's position has given the Arab-American community a voice in the nation's elections later this year.


HARRISBURG, N.C. (January 24)- - John Bickford, the stepfather of Jeff Gordon, will be moving to England in order to oversee Action Performance's two European affiliates, which manufacture clothing and die-cast race car models, respectively, as well as coordinate Action's relationships in Formula One racing. Bickford is the Vice President of Strategic Alliances for Action Performance Inc. and is expected to remain in Europe for two years. Gordon has credited his stepfather as being the driving force behind his racing career.
HARRISBURG, N.C. (January 16)- - Advance Auto Parts has signed on as an associate sponsor on Jeff Gordon's car for the 1999 season. Advance Auto Parts leads the industry in parts availability, price, and customer service. But more than anything, the company has valued the hard work, dedication, and commitment of its employees. Today, more than 15,000 Advance Auto Parts employees have committed themselves to bigger and brighter futures as the company enters the new millennium.
HARRISBURG, N.C (January 14)- - As Jeff Gordon prepares for the 1999 season, the focus is clearly on a fourth Winston Cup title. It's hard to believe that just ten years ago, Gordon was a sprint car driver trying to make a name for himself. Greg Zyla, a writer for Performance Racing Industry Magazine, sent in this recollection of Jeff Gordon's sprint car days.
"I'll never forget back in 1987 or '88, he came to Selinsgrove Speedway in central Pennsylvania to compete against the big boys of outlaw sprint car racing, including several WOO drivers. The central Pa. teams are some of the best in the country. Jeff started way back in the feature, and I think he ran eighth or ninth. From that day on, I knew Jeff Gordon was a real race car driver. Selinsgrove is an ultra-fast 1/2 mile dirt track, with speeds well over 125 on the straights. I guess I'll remember this most about him, because no one ever came to Selinsgrove at his age and did what he did. No he didn't win, but to come through the pack and finish in the top 10 was quite an accomplishment. By the way, the car he drove that night, the Shoff No. 23, is the only car to my knowledge that Gordon was ever fired from as a driver. Evidently, the team never 'clicked,' and Jeff only ran a few races."
GULF STREAM, FLA. (January 8)- - Jeff Gordon has been rated as the fourth most popular pitchman in sports behind Michael Jordan, Arnold Palmer, and Tiger Woods. Companies have been clamoring for a commercial endorsement from him. However, he has chosen not to endorse a product considered a staple among stock car fans: beer. Gordon has been approached by a number of breweries asking his endorsement of their product. Even though it would bring in about $500,000 annually, he has turned them down. "I'm image conscious, especially since I got married, and doing beer commercials, that's just not me," he says. "I know people have criticized me as being phony, but that's not true. I have a happy life, a wonderful wife and I try not to do things that go counter to that atmosphere. I thank God every day for blessing me and all the people around me."
HARRISBURG, N.C. (January 2)- - In March 1998, Jeff Gordon participated in an autograph session to raise money for Charles Hayward, a UNC-Charlotte basketball recruit diagnosed with leukemia. The year end issue of Sports Illustrated had an update on Hayward. In May, his leukemia was determined to be in remission and he returned to the team in the fall. He currently comes in off the bench averaging about 8 points a game. The tattoo on Hayward's left arm says it all: "Survivor."
In the same year-end double issue, Jeff Gordon was featured in the photo gallery. The picture showed Gordon dressed in a formal tuxedo leaning against a Rolls Royce in an old garage. Included are comments from Charles Barkley about the NASCAR champion.

Try adding the missing arguments.

in the second line. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can anyone please help me explain what am I doing wrong and what is the solution?

Thread starter RogueState
RogueState
The plane of Ravnica is entirely swallowed up by a megapolis, one huge city which shares the name of the dimension it resides in. The city-plane is ruled over by ten Guilds, who exist in uneasy peace enforced by the Guildpact, a powerful spell embodied in an avatar who acts as a neutral arbiter and judge in Guild disputes. Ten thousand years ago, the Guilds were once tribes who warred extensively with each other and formulated the Guildpact to put an end to hostilities. Each Guild took certain roles in governing the realm and specialized in certain forms of magic.
For ten thousand years, the Guilds have ruled Ravnica and bided by the terms of the Guildpact and stayed to their tightly defined social roles, no one Guild ever being able to reach dominance. But such a peace could only truly last so long as there was nothing equally powerful or more powerful on Ravnica than the Guildpact itself. And recently, that's changed.
For the Guildpact was once Jace, The Mind Sculptor, a planeswalker. Planeswalkers are rare, god-like spellcasters with the ability to traverse dimensions. One planeswalker, the gorgon Vraska, has already emerged and challenged his power. The precedent was set. The Guildpact was been shown to be no longer unassailable. As more and more planeswalkers and other powerful beings emerge on Ravnica, the Guilds race to claim their membership and challenge to unnatural balance the Guildpact embodied.
Then Jace, The Living Guildpact, vanished. And an all-out political war is breaking out on Ravnica.
You are the new generation of Ravnican planeswalkers and represent one of the Guilds of Ravnica, who seek to spread their power and influence through the plane.
This is a game based on one of the settings in the card game Magic: The Gathering, though knowledge of the game won't be necessarily. The game will be about a time of political turmoil and upheaval among magical guilds following the absence of The Guildpact, which enforced a balance between them; now they seek to expand and grow their power across the whole plain.
The Guilds of Ravnica
There are ten Guilds in Ravnica, each with a social role laid out by the Guild pact and each governing having domain over two of the five types of mana. The Guilds are the leaders of of Ravnican society, with Guild leaders meeting to discuss matters that affect the plane as a whole. Not all citizens of Ravnica are Guild members - indeed, most people are "guildless" - but it is impossible to live in Ravnica without dealing with at least one Guild in your day.
The Azorius Senate are the lawmakers and the government of the plane, founded by the ancient Azor. They are tasked with maintaining the status quo of the city; they write the laws, maintain the bureaucracy and run the courts. Their sigil is a pyramid inside of which are circles of arcane text. Their colours are white and blue, the colours associated with law, knowledge, protection and restrictive magic. Their upper echelons are often wise and long-lived creatures such as sphinxes, though anyone who fills in the right paperwork can join.
The Boros Legion are the militaristic order devoted to the actual protection of the people of Ravnica; they are the military and the police, taking to the streets with steel and fire to drive out evil wherever it may lurk. Their sigil is a white fist against a red sunburst. Their colours are red and white, associated with heroism and fiery passion. Their upper echelons are the idealistic and ferocious angels, but members come from all races.
House Dimir is a shadowy Guild that don't officially exist; as far as the man on the street knows there are only nine Guilds on Ravnica. They are spies and assassins, existing in the shadows, trafficking in secrets and poison. Their sigil, used rarely, is a blue spider on a black background. Their colours are blue and black, associated with forbidden knowledge, secrets and lies. Their agents might be anyone, but some of their elite operatives are vampires and shapeshifters.
The Golgari Swarm dwell primarily in the lower regions of the city, especially the sewers. Their members farm rot, recycle waste and produce new growth in an endless cycle of life and death. They are the largest Guild in terms of active members, due primarily to their use of necromantic magic. Their sigil is a green beetle's head on a black field. Their magic is green and black, associated with necromancy, growth and rot. Their members are drawn from all races but elves and trolls are common. Gorgons, such as Vraska, are also to be found in their midst.
The Gruul Clans were once charged with ranging the wilds of Ravnica - but now there are no wilds to range. Bitter and angry, they became scattered tribes and only technically a "Guild" and wage destructive war against the other Clans; they raid regions, smashing down buildings and plundering resources. Though they would hate to admit they do have a role in Ravnican society - demolitions and ground-clearing so that new growth can continue. Their sigil is a green torch burning a red flame. Their colours are red and green, associated with feral aggression and the breaking of chains. Wild and "uncivilized" creatures such as centaurs, minotaurs and orcs are common among their number.
The Izzet League, sparking and temperamental, are the engineers and scientists of Ravnican society. Founded by the narcissistic and brilliant dragon Niv-Mizzet, the Izzet constantly experiment and produce many of the technologies Ravnica uses day-to-day. Of course, that involves a lot of interns blowing up and most Izzet engineers embody the "mad scientist" stereotype quite well. Their sigil is a red dragon wreathed in blue. Their magic is red and blue, associated with lightning, energy and dangerous genius. Many of their numbers are goblins and they create "weirds" - elementals composed of conflicting elements such as fire and ice.
The Orzhov Syndicate are only surpassed by the Azorius in their wealth, being the guild primarily associated with business and commerce. On the surface, the Orzhov more closely resemble a religion and indeed may have once been a true faith when they were formed, but now they are closer to a mafia. Through debt and tithing, they control many of the guildless body and soul. Their sigil is a white sun fringed with black. Their magic is white and black, the colours of taxation, exploitation and manipulation. The heirarchy of the Orzhov is extremely rigid and unchanging, as the upper level members rule on after death - commonly as ghosts.
The Cult of Rakdos are something of a necessary evil, providing most of the manual labour and service industries to Ravnica - but especially the unsavoury ones. Theirs are the brothels and fighting pits, the bloodsports and drug dens. Many maintain respectable faces as restauranteurs and entertainers, but many derive sadistic pleasure and engage in extreme hedonism. Their sigil is a demon's head split, half red and half black. Their magic is red and black, associated with reckless aggression, sadism and masochism. They worship their guildmaster, the demon Rakdos, who slumbers and appoints representatives while hibernating.
The Selesnya Conclave concern themselves with peace, unity and the well-being of Ravnica. Their garden-temples are beautiful uniformity and they provide community support and religious services to the masses. Selfess in the extreme, Selesnya teaches the suppression of individual desire and the maintenance of peace through uniformity. Their sigil is a green tree with white leaves. Their magic, white and green, is associated with healing, growth and mutual prosperity. Their leaders are a collective hive-mind of dryads; their other members are heavily skewed towards elves and loxodon (elephant-men).
The Simic Combine were once druids, tasked with maintaining the health and well-being of nature's wildlife. As Ravnica expanded, Simic and Selesnya stole the nature domain of the Gruul and now the Simic are concerned with provided biomedical services and augmentation to the people of Ravnica. They are also concerned with neogenesis, creating new wildlife that might survive in the urban sprawl of Ravnica; many of their guildhalls are based in the oceanic sinkholes beneath Ravnica and use the marine life as their experimental subjects. Their sigil is a twisting tree that transitions from blue to green. Their magic is green and blue, concerned with shifting, transformation and evolution. They are strongly associated with merfolk and the blue-skinned humanoids known as Vedalken.
The Colours of Magic
In Magic the Gathering, there are five colours of mana and these influence what sort of spells can be cast. Even within the colours, there is variation, so two casters who specialize in the same colour might not be exactly the same. The colours are white, blue, black, red and green. Creatures are also associated with different types of mana and that influences what they can do and how they work.
White mana comes from Plains and is very defensive. It is associated with healing, damage prevention and restrictive effects rather than direct damage. White creatures tend to work well together and are not individually powerful, but might have protective effects. White has the connotation of holiness, heroics and goodness, but is also the colour of restriction and oppressive order; a tyrant would be white-aligned. Common white-aligned creatures are humans and angels.
Blue mana comes from Islands and is very elusive. It is associated with knowledge, illusion and deception. Blue creatures tend to be weak overall but have effects that allow them to slip by enemy defenses or somehow hamper the enemy. Blue also has a strong emphasis on thought, dreams and time; it does not act directly instead plots out elaborate schemes or mimics others. It is powerful but insubstantial, like a wind. Common blue-aligned creatures include merfolk and vedalken.
Black mana comes from Swamps and is very corrupting. It is associated with ambition, amorality and necromancy. The themes of black are "playing dirty" and "victory at any cost" and much of it revolves around hurting oneself in order to hurt the enemy more, or somehow gain another advantage. Thus, black creatures might have effects that only trigger when they die and cause adverse effects against the enemy. If black can avoid killing itself, it is truly dangerous. Note that black is not necessarily evil in and of itself, but is often associated with evil things such as necromancy and betrayal. Common black-aligned creatures are vampires and zombies.
Red mana comes from Mountains and is energetic. It is associated with passion, emotion and the elements of fire and lightning. Red creatures are usually fast and have great attack power but aren't very durable, and that's true of red overall. Much like a flame, red burns itself and the opponent, with the goal of burning the enemy before it burns itself out. This usually takes the form of overwhelming force - fast creatures, direct damage spells and so on. But if you can weather the storm, it won't last long. Common red-aligned creatures are orcs and goblins.
Green mana comes from Forests and is ever-growing. It is associated with nature, beasts and evolution. Green's best monsters are usually brutes, with overwhelming force and great defense but at the cost of speed. Other green effects might bolster weak creatures, accelerate mana generation to summon more creatures or destroy "unnatural" effects such as machinery or enchantments. However, outside of creatures and making those creatures bigger, green doesn't have much going on; it's the giant to be outsmarted, not fought directly. Common green creatures include elves, wurms and elephants.

I am really interested! I love playing Magic, so this is really cool that I can get a simulator role-play feel of it. I'm making a character sheet.
Great! I'm working on one for a Vashino member of the Boros Guild.

I'll join as Rakdos, but I should warn you: EVERY MTG RP I've even seen has two things in common. It's set on Ravnica, and it dies a quick death. The odds ain't on our side.
Well, the other idea I'd had for an MTG-esque game was "Planecrash" and the idea was that someone (Nicol Bolas? The Eldrazi? Someone else?) had caused multiple planes to intersect and it was this big mash-up/crossover style thing (Tarkir dragons running wild on Ravnica, Theros heroes slaying Innistrad monsters) that might also go over with other fandoms. Do you think that would have a better shot?
That would probably work better, and as for a villain, it's gotta be Bolas. The Phyrexians have no real motivation, and the Eldrazi just aren't smart enough to pull it off.

Name: Clyde Donovan
Alias/Nickname: The Transformer
Guild: Izzet
Colours: Red Blue
Magic: Clyd's magic is a representation of his color's conflict. Often brash and rushed he uses destructive spells using lightning and fire, but also spells to make other wizards powerless, weather by negating or redirecting there magic or simply by changing the form of his opponent. He symbolizes planned aggression, always attacking, but always ready to counter and move the opponent tires to make.
Appearance: He is a lanky and tin man. His face is thin and boney, but is almost always adorned by a giddy smile. His hair flows long and black to the end of his neck. His red eyes tend to dart quickly about, trying to take in the environment quickly. He wares, normaly, a red gold trimmed robe, often with scorch marks found all around it.
Skills: He's a half decent enchanter and a good golemancer. Out side of his magical skills he generally considered intelligent and could find out just about anything using the Izzet library.
Weaknesses: In terms of combat, his magic can't keep up with an even more aggressive form of magic or one that can control the battle field better than him, making a Boros, Azorius, or Dimir mage a good match.
Background: Clyde was a guildless only till the age of ten, where his constant magical experimenting got him noticed by the Izzet league. His first few years with the guild was a constant battle to not be turned into a weird, or a frog, or a pile of hot ash, but he manged to make it out of intern status by the age of fifteen. His time was spent as a magic researcher and golemancer, trying to create new combat spells and automatons. He expanded the realm of transformation magic much more than others, giving him the name the Transformer. He always states that his focus on the type of magic was because it lead to a deeper understanding of what you were transforming, but other simply though he found a sadistic glee in turning people into weirds.
Can I just say, I love BR decks.
Okay guys, after thinking it over I've decided to go with the Planecrash concept - don't worry though, Ravnica will still be there so your characters and work shouldn't be affected. It'll be opened to a wider range of characters and creatures, plus room to make your own planes if none of the canon ones appeal. I'll be working on the changes to the pitch over the next few days, including sheets/descriptions for different planes.

Hauser Lake woman relives the mad rush to survive Las Vegas shooting
Wed., Oct. 4, 2017
Still wearing the wristband from the music festival Crystal Hanson talks about how she survived the shooting rampage in Las Vegas that happened on Sunday night. She was interviewed in Post Falls on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2017. (Kathy Plonka / The Spokesman-Review)
By Thomas Clouse tomc@spokesman.com(509) 459-5495
Crystal Hanson of Hauser Lake doesn't want to sleep. Sleep brings dreams. She'd rather stay awake than risk reliving images of scrambling around with the survivors of the deadliest mass shooting in the nation's history.
Hanson, 46, arrived back in Spokane late Tuesday from her first-ever trip to Sin City. What happened in Las Vegas Sunday will always stay with her.
"It makes me more alert about who I am around," she said. "I can't sleep. I don't want dreams. I don't want it."
Hanson arrived in Vegas on Friday for a long-planned trip with her brother, Michael Hanson, 45, originally of Spokane, who now lives in Long Beach, Calif., with his partner, Christopher McGowan.
She got to see the Strip for two days before the final day of the three-day Route 91 Harvest festival. On Sunday, she listened to Michael Ray on a small stage and then got to see Big and Rich and Jake Owen before the finale by Jason Aldean.
Just after 10 p.m., Hanson left the main crowd to get a bite to eat. On her way out of the venue, she heard what she thought was a jackhammer as Aldean was performing.
"I thought, 'Why would a jackhammer be used at the concert?' " Hanson said. She looked back as the stage lights briefly went off. Then Aldean sprinted off stage as the second volley of what turned out to be bullets rained down from an unknown location.
"I wanted to get to my brother. And then I had people coming towards me. Then I knew," she said. "I tried to find an exit. I couldn't find one. I got turned around and went back toward the venue. I just followed everybody."
She joined as a mass of running people rushed for a building. As they approached, the shooting grew much louder.
"We didn't know where it was coming from. You just want to be with the crowd," she said. "Where we ran to was the worst. It was like he was just up the hill shooting. Someone said, 'Turn around. Turn around.' And they all turned and went the other way. That's when I thought there were more people" shooting.
In the chaos, Hanson got turned around and she had no clue where to go or how to get out or how to get back to her hotel.
"I didn't know where my brother was. I had dress shoes that were hurting my feet," she said. "I went up to a couple and asked if I could be with them."
The couple directed Hanson to duck in between parked cars. "The guns were still going off. That's when I first talked to Shaleen" Hanson, her daughter, in Post Falls.
Finally, the volleys of shooting ended and Hanson emerged from the parked cars. In the distance, she could see the distinctive castle spires of Excalibur Hotel and Casino, where she and her brother and his partner were staying.
She tried calling her brother and couldn't reach him. So many of the thousands of concert goers were using cell phones that it made getting connections difficult.
She walked, hand-in-hand, with her befriended couple as they walked toward Excalibur. Hanson walked across a footbridge, and above the throngs of responding emergency personnel, to get to her hotel. Then the horror started anew.
Hanson's phone battery was about drained and she had no way of charging it. She found a guard who gave her a charger and she alternated between getting juice for her phone and trying to call loved ones.
"I didn't know my name was on the room so I didn't know I could go there," she said. "I didn't have a key card."
As Hanson sat in her hotel, the masses began running again.
"I ran clear to the other side of the building because someone said there was a shooter inside," she said. "When you have people running all around you, you don't ask. You just run."
Hanson ran down a hallway, through two large doors and found herself outside again.
"I had no idea where I was. I looked around. Where was I going to hide? I sat down on a rock and smoked a cigarette with a Canadian," she said. "He couldn't talk. He was in shock."
Hanson made her way back into the hotel only to walk into another mad rush of people. Hanson dove behind a restaurant bar and called her 75-year-old father.
"I told him, 'I don't want to run anymore.' I was done running," she said. "I just sat there and hid."
She also finally reached her brother, Michael, and Christopher. They were hiding under a towel near the swimming pool at Hooters Casino Hotel.
At one point, she was sitting in a small room off the main gambling room when everybody at the gambling tables raised their arms in the air.
"It was so scary. We didn't know what was happening. We hid," she said. "I asked a guard. He said everything is OK."
After more moves, attempts to charge her phone and get a blanket, Hanson finally saw her brother and his partner walking towards her. It was 4:30 a.m. They had been separated for more than six hours since the initial shots were fired.
"We just stood there and hugged. We just held each other," Hanson said. "Thank God we made it and we were together."
She learned that Michael Hanson was standing next to a girl who got shot and killed. He had blood on his hat and shirt and pants. He also stopped another man from performing CPR on another woman who was clearly dead.
When they returned to their rooms, they pulled the drapes. Television coverage of the 59 dead and more than 500 wounded did not interest them.
"We didn't feel safe. We couldn't look outside," she said. "It brought up too many memories. We just kept saying, 'I love you guys. I love you.' "

When you say "GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system review", you are basically dealing with a wide range of topics. This is for the fact that there are so many GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews online and most of those GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews not only tackled one specific subject of interest but ranges from the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)handheld receivers to in car navigation GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews and other notable GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)systems or devices that the people used today.
So to tackle that matter, I would rather present the general nature of the noted GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews online with a general focus on the overall concept of the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receivers since the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receivers are the best purchased and widely used today.
In some of the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews many noted that the use of a GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system will lead you to a right place. Of course you all know that knowing where you are and where you are going is one of the important things in life and as such, the use of GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system is necessary to make you identify easily and quickly your destination.
For that fact, many of the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews considered that a GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receiver, for that matter, is just a simple tool that will need the company of a map and a compass. The GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews youll-noted the simple act of purchasing a GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)unit and head for the unfamiliar country for some adventures is not a good action without the aid of the map and a compass. With such claims in most of the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews, the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)companies youre encouraged to design their advanced GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receivers with the accompaniment of map and with the ability of a compass.
In line with that matter, among the many topics discussed in most GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews are the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receivers such as the Lowrance GlobalMap/-E 100, Magellan Pioneer, Magellan 2000XL, Magellan tracker, and the Eagle Explorer. With such topics, the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews mainly tackled some of the issues surrounding those certain receivers. And also the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews handled some ansyours to the questions regarding the effectiveness of those GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receivers that are mostly mentioned in most of the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews.
Lastly, some of those GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews that tackled those above mentioned GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receivers usually discuss the main functions and compositions of those GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receivers. Also, as a GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system review, just like some of the reviews, generally present both sides of the argument, whether those GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)receivers that are commonly mentioned in GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews are effective or not. With that alone, the GPS - ( GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)system reviews aid the people in their decisions and choices.


EVRYTHNG, the Internet of Things Smart Products Platform for consumer products, has announced what it describes as the first-of-its-kind integration of EVRYTHNG Active Digital Identities with GS1 Standards.
The integration enables consumer goods brands to use the billions of existing GS1 identifiers deployed on consumer goods to web-enable their products and drive new digital applications across the product lifecycle. EVRYTHNG is a GS1 US Solution Partner.
The company adds that, in the world's first-ever implementation of GS1 semantics in an Internet of Things (IoT) framework, EVRYTHNG's Active Digital Identities now provide operational support for all GS1 identifiers and GS1 data sharing standards. This development enables all brands already working with GS1 identifiers to seamlessly and rapidly apply IoT technology to drive new digital product lifecycle management capabilities. GS1 Standards are used globally to identify products—critical to enabling products to work with different systems and applications.
EVRYTHNG is an Internet of Things platform for consumer products, providing digital identities to billions of consumer products via unique and intelligent software identities in the cloud. Through partnerships with global packaging solution providers—including Avery Dennison RBIS in the apparel & footwear industry and Crown and WestRock among others in the consumer packaged goods industry—EVRYTHNG claims to be able to adhere digital identities to products as they are manufactured. EVRYTHNG's integration of Active Digital Identities and GS1 Standards further strengthens its capability to bring speed, convenience, and scale to the digitisation of all physical products building on existing standard identification methods.
Leveraging these #BornDigital products, consumer goods brands can easily deploy digital applications across the product lifecycle—such as supply chain traceability, quality control and inventory management, direct-to-consumer experiences for product information, e-commerce and CRM, and sustainability. End-to-end digital lifecycle management for products makes supply chains smarter and cultivates more valuable customer and consumer connections.
"GS1 identifiers are the standard in global commerce, and identify billions of products in the supply chain around the world. It's both exciting and important to the digital transformation of the consumer product industry to leverage GS1 Standards with EVRYTHNG's innovative Internet of Things technology, thereby providing a shortcut for brands to switch-on their products as digital assets and manage digital product lifecycle at industrial scale," said Niall Murphy, Co-founder & CEO, EVRYTHNG.
"As a GS1 US Solution Partner, EVRYTHNG will help our members maximize their existing implementation of GS1 Standards and adapt their digital strategies to a more technology-driven, IoT world," said Siobhan O'Bara, Senior Vice President, Industry Engagement & Services, GS1 US.
Commenting on the industry implications, Dwight Meyer, former President, Global Sourcing, Logistics, and Distribution for Warnaco, said: "It's clear the market has changed, and brands with the ability to know their customers, form a relationship, and react to demand are winning. Real-time information and transparency throughout the product lifecycle, combined with a speed-to-market capability, are critical to driving profitable growth. EVRYTHNG's digital enablement of GS1 Standards creates an environment where the needed changes to operating models can begin."
EVRYTHNG and Avery Dennison RBIS are applying this technology standardization to the Avery Dennison Janela solution, powered by the EVRYTHNG Smart Products Platform, which assigns unique identities to apparel and footwear products. The new, joined up capability for an RFID tag with a standard Electronic Product Code (EPC) to communicate with the Active Digital Identity in the cloud enables a wide range of consumer in-store applications. This allows for self-checkout and better product availability, and enables omnichannel experiences across the consumer shopping journey to drive store traffic and unlock consumer analytics.
Bill Toney, Vice President of RFID Market Development at Avery Dennison, shared: "Janela is one of the first solutions to enable apparel brands and retailers to leverage the power of connected products to drive a seamless in-store shopping experience and reveal consumer analytics, which was once only possible online. This GS1 standardization introduces the extension of the RFID EPC standard with 2D barcodes to unlock in-store consumer experiences, with the goal of enhancing store traffic, in addition to capturing in-store shopping journey data received from the same online customer. This is exciting for both the industry and the advancement of omnichannel strategies."

I am Jacob Stowers and have a 2nd black belt in Tang so do, Moo duk Kwon, and Tae Kwon do. And I am 13 years old and a Christian. I've been Christian for as long as I can remember but I never really thought about God as I probably should have, until I went to a church camp called Crosstimbers. On the second night, I don't remember who the preacher was, or what he was preaching about, I felt compelled to go forward when he gave the altar call. Me and four of my friends went up to receive Christ. A few weeks later the three of us were baptized.

Ральф Уильям Стефан младший (; ) — американский гребец, выступавший за сборную США по академической гребле в конце 1940-х годов. Участник летних Олимпийских игр в Лондоне. Также известен как дипломат.

Биография
Ральф Стефан родился 16 ноября 1928 года в Кливленде, штат Огайо, США. Серьёзно заниматься академической греблей начал во время учёбы в Йельском университете, состоял в университетской гребной команде «Йель Булдогс» из Нью-Хейвена, с которой неоднократно становился победителем и призёром различных студенческих регат.

Пик его спортивной карьеры пришёлся на 1948 год, когда он вошёл в основной состав американской национальной сборной и благодаря череде удачных выступлений удостоился права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх в Лондоне. Вместе с напарником Джоном Уэйдом стартовал в зачёте распашных безрульных двоек — выбыл из борьбы за медали уже на предварительном этапе, не сумев пройти отбор в полуфинальную стадию.

В 1951 году окончил Йельский университет, получив степень в области экономики. Продолжил изучение экономики в Кембриджском университете, затем изучал африканистику в Северо-Западном университете.

Служил в Военно-морских силах США. В течение 30 лет находился на дипломатической службе, был советником по экономическим, политическим и административным вопросам в американских посольствах в Ливии, Нигерии, Марокко, Японии, Алжире и Бельгии. Представлял Соединённые Штаты в Организации объединённых наций. Помимо английского владел французским, арабским, испанским и японским языками.

Был женат, имел сына и дочь. На протяжении всей жизни любил играть в теннис.

Умер 30 апреля 2018 года в Маунт-Шаста в возрасте 89 лет.

A massive fire is ripping through a hotel in Dublin and while everyone is believed to be evacuated, it's unclear is anyone is injured.
Irish media is reporting the fire broke out in a mid-level floor of the 15-storey Metro Hotel in Ballymun, in north Dublin just after 8pm (local time).
The cause of the blaze, which is burning across at least five floors, is currently unknown.
There are up to 20 units battling the fire and nearby roads have been closed.
Dublin city councillor Paul McAuliffe said debris is falling from the burning building.
"We understand from the hotel staff that all of the people living in the accommodation and residents of the hotel got out safely," Mr McAuliffe said.
"Windows and cladding are peeling off the building and falling down onto the side wing where the hotel is," he said.
"Dublin Fire Brigade are doing their best to make sure the fire doesn't spread from the upper levels down onto the broader-based hotel parts of the building."


This exhaustive historical study highlights the novelty of the contribution of Gaudium et Spes and marks it as a significant change in Catholic approach to this specific problem. Even over 30 years later when many writers comment on the changed climate of atheism (in a more 'post-modern' atmosphere), the study sees the current situation as anticipated by GS, and its contribution as still valid. The conclusion highlights some of the consequences of the Council document for theology today.

Q: PHP: MPDF export from multiple textares/textboxes So, I'm using MPDF to export data/content from one textarea. It works perfectly fine for one textarea, but what happens when I need to export multiple texboxes with a button click? Doing it this way (as shown below) it only exports the last textarea only. I need your help to figure this out how to export from multiple textareas. Thank you.
My form.
The textareas with its content is being echoed/displayed using a while loop as shown below.
<form method='post' action='thanks.php' enctype="multipart/form-data">

  <?php
  while ($rows = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
  ?>

  <textarea name="editor" id="editor">
  <?= $rows['Content']; ?>
  </textarea>

  <input type="submit" name="export" value="Export" id="export" class="btn third">

  <?php
  }
  ?>

</form>

Export coding.
<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

if ((isset($_POST['editor'])) && (!empty($_POST['editor']))) {

    $pdfcontent = $_POST['editor'];

    $mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();

    $mpdf->WriteHTML($pdfcontent);

    // $mpdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage');
    // $mpdf->list_indent_first_level = 0;

    //output in browser
    $mpdf->Output('mypdf.pdf', 'D');

}

?>

A: You have to give each textarea another name, so each one gets included when you submit the form. One way of doing this is to use a counter:
<form method='post' action='thanks.php' enctype="multipart/form-data">
<?php

$areaCount = 1;

while ($rows = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {

    echo '<textarea name="editor_' . $areaCount . '" id="editor">'.
         $rows['Content'] . '</textarea>
';

    $areaCount++;

}

?>

<input type="submit" name="export" value="Export" id="export" class="btn third">
</form>

Now when the form is submitted you have to find all the areas again:
<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

if (isset($_POST['export'])) {

    $pdfcontent = '';
    $areaCount  = 1;

    while (isset($_POST['editor_' . $areaCount])) {

        $pdfcontent .= $_POST['editor_' . $areaCount];
        $areaCount++;

    }

    $mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();

    $mpdf->WriteHTML($pdfcontent);

    // $mpdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage');
    // $mpdf->list_indent_first_level = 0;

    //output in browser
    $mpdf->Output('mypdf.pdf', 'D');

}

?>


A SCOTTISH priest was allegedly spat upon and verbally abused as an Orange parade passed through Glasgow.
It is alleged that as the annual Boyne parade made its way through the city center on Saturday, there was an incident outside St Alphonsus Church on Stevenson Street.
The Archdiocese of Glasgow claimed that after vigil Mass, Canon Tom White was meeting and greeting parishioners when the parade approached. It said he was subjected to sectarian abuse and spat upon on two occasions – once on the back of the head and the other in his eye.
It was further alleged he was lunged at by a man carrying a pole.
In a post on Facebook, the archdiocese said police were dealing with a nearby incident when the attack occurred.
"We must all stand in solidarity with Canon White and his congregation. Charges need to be brought, and in addition, no march that ends with such scenes should be allowed on that route in future," he said.
Police also confirmed they arrested four people during the parade. Two men were arrested and charged with breach of the peace while a third man was taken into custody for drugs misuse. A woman was also arrested for being drunk and incapable.
The Grand Orange of Scotland was approached for comment last night but did not respond.

China's mobile apps collect too much data, says consumer body
03-Dec-2018 Intellasia | South China Morning Post | 6:10 AM
A large number of smartphone apps available in China have been found to be collecting an excessive amount of personal data, including user location, contact lists and mobile numbers, according to a mainland consumer rights watchdog.
The China Consumers Association said in a report published on Wednesday that 91 out of 100 mobile apps that it recently reviewed are suspected of data abuse, including Alipay from Ant Financial Services, photo-editing software provider Meitu and bike-sharing platform Ofo.
Other offending apps that the report singled out include those from navigation, travel and hotel booking, cloud storage and wealth management services providers.
The findings were gleaned from the consumer watchdog's review of the user terms and privacy policy of 100 apps downloaded from both Apple and Android app stores on the mainland in September. It also reviewed social messaging apps QQ and WeChat from Tencent Holdings as well as Baidu-backed video streaming service iQiyi.
China warns internet companies over weak data protection policies
The review comes as Chinese users grow increasingly concerned about user privacy and how China's technology companies are handling personal information. In China, laws require companies to store users' data on servers in the country, and tech companies reportedly pass on data when the Chinese government makes a request.
"Most of the apps [reviewed] received a pass or lower rating," the consumer watchdog's report said. "The problem [of excessive data harvesting] is especially severe among smaller app providers, which have no privacy clauses or provide unreasonable terms." It said protection of consumer data in China was "under severe challenge", which warrants the attention of regulators.
Representatives of Hong Kong-listed Tencent, privately held Ant Financial and Nasdaq-traded iQiyi did not immediately respond to separate inquiries for comment.
Ofo, which is backed by Ant Financial, declined to comment. Ant Financial is an affiliate of Alibaba Group Holding, which is the parent company of the South China Morning Post.
A spokeswoman for Hong Kong-listed Meitu, replying to the Post's inquiry on Friday, said the company was dedicated to protecting user data and provides a clear description of the personal information that it collects, including purpose, methods of processing and data-security measures.
The Chinese consumer watchdog's review also comes on the heels of the European Union's introduction of the world's most far-reaching data privacy regulation, the general Data Protection Regulation that took effect in May.
Harvesting and analysing massive amounts of data have become increasingly important for tech companies, as these provide the fuel for their artificial-intelligence initiatives, which are used to better understand their customers and develop improved services.
The past few years, however, has seen increased awareness by consumers of data privacy amid the rise in cases of cybersecurity breaches, social media controversies and other unwanted practices.
In January, the country's three largest internet companies Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent separately faced public scrutiny over how each one handled the information their apps collect.
The Jiangsu Consumer Council filed a lawsuit against New York-listed Baidu for illegally collecting consumers' personal data through its search app and mobile browser. Baidu said at the time it was aware of the litigation and had conducted multiple rounds of talks with the group over the past several months to explain and address its concerns.
Alibaba-backed Ant Financial apologised for making the opt-in to its social credit scoring service the default when users opened a new report in the app, a move that angered some people who felt the company was misleading them into handing over their data.
Tencent clarified that the content of conversations on WeChat are stored only on the user's mobile phone, computer or other communications device, adding that it does not use any of the content for big data analysis, after Chinese automotive industry tycoon Li Shufu reportedly slammed the company for invading user privacy.

If your patient has been injured in an auto accident, there's a good chance he/she will be required to submit to an "independent medical examination" (IME). As your patient's treating physician, you are in a position to help minimize the trauma of this inherently threatening experience.
You are probably well aware that many people are apprehensive of being examined even by physicians whose job is to care for them. You can imagine the anxiety which must accompany your patient's surrendering his/her personal, physical and medical privacy to the scrutiny of one or two medical professionals whose job is to examine him/her with cold detachment, if not skepticism.
In our part of the world, doctors performing IME's range from those who display scrupulous intellectual honesty, to those who go out of their way to find in favor of the insurance company's position if at all possible, to those rare individuals who so lack independence as to be singled out in published legal opinions as bordering on being intellectually dishonest. Whatever the content of the opinion eventually rendered, it's no secret that insurance companies do not hire their IME doctors for their bedside manner. How can you help your patient through this experience?
We believe part of our job as counsel for someone with a personal injury claim is to prepare them for this experience. Your awareness of these basic guidelines will enable you to reinforce such counsel, or fill the gap for patients who may not have received such counsel.
The examining doctor will probably he a specialist for the type of injury the person has suffered and will probably have performed many such exams for defense attorneys and insurance companies. Your patient or his/her attorney is entitled to a copy of the examiner's report and should ask for one as soon as it becomes available.
The patient should he prompt, courteous and friendly and should try not to show any resentment, with the process or impatience if made to wait. Maintaining one's "cool" is important, since negative reactions may be recorded and/or reflected adversely in the examining doctor's report. At the same time, abuse should not be tolerated.
In California, patients have an absolute right to bring a witness (a spouse or friend of the same gender) into the examining room. Oregon examinees are advised to bring someone along who will, in most cases, be allowed in.
The attitude, professionalism and manner of IME doctors run the gamut. Patients should be reminded that these doctors have no economic or professional incentive to be nice to them.
Patients should not be tempted to go into detail about how the accident happened. The doctor's job is to perform a physical exam to verify or refute claimed injuries/medical problems, not to get into how the accident occurred. Nonetheless, the doctor may ask many such questions. Patients should say as little as possible and be as general as possible since whatever they say may be noted and interpreted against them later. In fact, answers to all questions should be kept to a simple minimum. Patients should not get "chatty," as their extra comments will probably be misconstrued in a way that is ultimately harmful. Patents should be prepared to answer questions about their past medical history, especially other injuries before and since the accident.
Patients should be sure to tell the examiner all their present symptoms, everything they are feeling. They should tell about all the accident injuries and resulting symptoms, but if something no longer hurts, they should tell the doctor that too.
Most importantly, patients should present their symptoms accurately, without exaggeration. They should not, for example, limp to impress the doctor with how much pain they are feeling, unless they cannot walk without a limp. On the other hand, since the effects of restricted activity and regular treatment may temporarily diminish the pain which genuinely indicates persisting injuries, patients might be advised to limit treatment and attempt normal activities in the days prior to the exam, if it would help to give the examining doctor a more accurate picture of their true physical condition.
Patients should not submit to new x-rays or other such medical tests (beyond temperature and blood pressure) without checking with their attorney.
Noting the exact times they arrived, when they were called to the examining room, when the exam began and was completed, etc., may prove useful later in rebutting claims of a "lengthy and thorough" exam. Also, as soon as possible after the exam, patients should jot down all they can remember of what the doctor asked, what they answered, what the doctor did, how long they waited, how they felt, etc. The patient should give this report to his/her attorney to be read alongside the IME report.
Basically, patients should know the examining doctor is not there to treat them or to be helpful or friendly; and that the patient's job is to be honest and cooperative.
Finally, it would be helpful to your patient if you told him/her that you would like to see a copy of the IME report. Your interest would not only be encouraging, but also, if your views differ from the examining doctor, may be useful as rebuttal evidence, especially if you have seen the patient around the time of the IME. In your role as treating doctor, you can be of invaluable emotional and evidentiary assistance.

Facts: On December 26, 1968, Robert A. Williams was arrested for murdering a 10 year old girl in Des Moines Iowa on December24, 1968. The Body was found in a ditch besides a gravel road in Polk County. When Williams was arrested, investigators agreed with the awaiting counsel that he would not interrogate William during the ride to the police station, but the investigator improperly questioned Williams leading the investigator to the site of where the body was found.
Procedural History: During the first trial Williams was found Guilty of first degree murder. Since Williams was illegally interrogated on the way to police station and led the officer to the location of the body, the rights of Williams were violated. The motion to suppress evidence obtained from the statements was denied. In the second trial the statements made by Williams were not included and was again found guilty of first degree murder. Williams then continued to appeal because of the violation of his rights in the Sixth Amendment. He claims the evidence used from the body was illegally obtained through his statements and should've be suppressed.
Issue: Even though the court did not allow the self incriminating statements from Williams in the second trial, the evidence such as the condition of the body and autopsy results was evidence admitted through illegal interrogation due to police unlawful conduct. The interrogating of Williams violated his right to counsel as stated in the Sixth Amendment, which he did not waive.
Holding: The United States Supreme Court held the previous decisions made from the lower courts because the evidence would've been inevitably found by lawful means from the search party and that the police did not act in bad faith.
1. Motion to suppress evidence was denied in first trial.
The court held the evidence was "fruit" of the case. The jury found Williams guilty of first degree murder.


Oki doki my friend! Last time, I told you a story about me and me fellas first evening in Ireland. I told you about when we looked for a hotel, when we first saw the dear river Liffey, the great irish friends (not at least the gorgeous irish girl) we met at a hamburger bar at Grafton street. Right? And you remember I told you about the scaring start of our driving on the left side, bound for the west coast, not to mention the most loveable girl playing the harp and singing so sad irish songs at the great Cliffs of Moher? And I promised to tell you more about the trip. Am I not an honest man keeping my promises?
Well, we entered the highway from Dublin towards Galway. Soon we understood it wouldn't be a highway all the way, soon the road was much narrower. And wasn't it using the main road in every single town and village we passed? But didn't we have vacation and weren't in a hurry at all? It really was nice to see the towns and villages and not only pass outside. And I saw those small petrol stations I remember from when I was a youngster, some had the petrol really on the main road, you just had to slip near the sidewalk, stop and fill up the tank. Yes, this meant we were very hungry long before Galway. We stopped in a village, stretched our legs (shakin' after hours on the left side...), and walk to the town centre. We found a small pub and walked in. Some were watching a football game on TV and we asked if we could have anything to eat? "You can have a Guinness or two, that will fill up your stomach", was the laughing answer. Wasn't that a bad idea? Guinness, you know, is a famous irish beer. It's a stout, the kind of bear that really is black with foam thick as cream. So I guess the guy was right, we would be filled up. But we were driving, so wasn't it a bad idea? And besides that, alcoholic beverages are not good at all. So we bad farewell and walked to the next pub. This time we were luckier and we got our fish and chips and everything a man needs on his ride to Galway and Connemara, and didn't we listen to the locals talking the true things?
Soon we were in the car again, and the day turned to evening as we passed nice villages and sceneries. And we came to the outskirts of Galway, but left directly, surely we liked to come a bit further into Connemara this day. And the road was even narrower and winding. And the irish drivers could drive so much faster than we drove. Sheep, we saw them on the roads walking or laying warming up in the last sun rays, we would be used to see them everywhere!
STOP! I shouted. Me fella pushed the brake to the bottom and left the main road into an even smaller one, lucky we were not to smash into another car. It was a B&B sign I had seen at a lovely country side farm. Sure, isn't all Connemara a lovely countryside place? Connemara, I love that word, it says so much. Anyway, hadn't the mum decorated and cleaned the rooms so nicely and wasn't there a room for us? As soon as we had taken in our things some other guests arrived and we all sat together and drunk tea together with that superb fruit cake. Then, we took another cup of tea. The evening was lovely, we went out to a small forest and found a nice little lake. It looked so clean and mystic and it was a perfect place to just be at. And the rest of the world didn't matter at all, at all. Rain in Connemara? No way, the sun was shining and I can proof that if you look at my photos.
I slept so well in that fantastic bed and the cows woke me up, I opened the window and saluted my morning greetings back, and after a great irish breakfast we went further into Connemara. I didn't miss Dublin at all, not at all.
But a few days later, after many winding roads, so gorgeous Connemara-girls, superb sceneries and food, suddenly we were in Dublin again! We tried another hotel, and didn't I like to watch one more ravishing irish girl at the reception with her long black hair? Surely I hoped she was always working.
Bewley's oriental cafe! Bewley's at Grafton street became a favourite place. Not for the cakes. Nor for the weak coffee (compared to swedish). But I say it didn't matter at all! The atmosphere at Bewley's! The old fashion interior! The dresses on the staff in old fashioned black and white, the ladies with white aprons and everything! The great Trinity college is not far away. You understand it was nice to sit and chat and at the same time watch all the young students so dutifully doing their homework (when they not met their friends) as they drunk cup after cup of tea or coffee? Surely, it does rain sometimes in Dublin, but isn't Bewley's always open having a seat for one more? Can an evening be better? Probably not! Of course we had to check if that was right, so we really had to go to the Temple bar district, which the lovely irish friends we met the first evening at Mc Donalds said we should go to. We choose a pub where the tune of lovely irish music was streaming from the windows, music like The Dubliners if you know what I mean. Ooops, the CD has stopped. Will you put in another? I really want to hear U2. Thanks. Did you know they run a hotel close to Temple bar? We found we were not the only ones liking this pub, it was sooo crowded. The irish are so friendly so there was a place for us as well. And one of the waitresses had a burning irish hair and she was so likable. Hadn't she noticed me too and smiled to me? After that we had to admit it could be a great evening in Dublin not only at Bewley's. No problem to walk home in the rain, no problem at all. The problem was I didn't want to walk home.

Jasper Family Sentenced in DETCOG Conspiracy
LUFKIN, Texas — A Jasper, Texas couple and their daughter have been sentenced to federal prison for conspiracy violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney Joseph D. Brown today.
Walter Diggles, 66, his wife, Rosie Diggles, 64, both of Jasper, and their daughter, Anita Diggles, 42, of Houston, were convicted on Aug. 3, 2017, of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud. Additionally, Walter Diggles was convicted of 11 counts of wire fraud, three counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and three counts of money laundering (engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from specified unlawful activity, here, wire fraud). Rosie Diggles was also convicted of ten counts of wire fraud and one count of money laundering (engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from specified unlawful activity, here, wire fraud).
Today, Walter Diggles was sentenced to 108 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Ron Clark, along with restitution to be paid to the government in the amount of $1,326,049.91. Rosie Diggles and Anita Diggles were each sentenced to 54 months in federal prison and were ordered to pay restitution jointly to the government in the amount of $971,143.57.
According to information presented in court, the defendants devised a scheme to obtain and make personal use of federal block grant funds that Congress appropriated following Hurricanes Rita, Katrina, Ike, and Dolly. These funds were made available to the State of Texas, which in turn contracted with several councils of governments within the state to assist in administering and distributing the funds. Walter Diggles was the Executive Director of the Deep East Texas Council of Governments during this time and used his position to approve inflated billing rates and requests for reimbursement of federal block grant funds while Rosie Diggles and Anita Diggles prepared many of the requests. Additionally, Walter Diggles engaged in activities and approved requests for block grant funds that were fraudulent in nature and all the defendants spent significant amounts of the excess funds on personal expenses. The Diggles were indicted by a federal grand jury on Dec. 2, 2015.
"The defendants stole from the taxpayers, and these kinds of frauds take money away from real people – disaster victims," said Joseph Brown, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas. "This was an appropriate sentence, and hopefully it will help deter some of this type of behavior the next time."
"Offenders who abuse the public trust inherently are more culpable. The defendants made a conscious decision to deceive and benefit personally at the expense of the citizens of the State of Texas," said Tamera Cantu, IRS Special Agent In Charge of the Dallas Field Office. "Today's sentences underscore our commitment to work in a collaborative effort to promote honest and ethical government at all levels and to prosecute those who violate the public's trust."
"Today's sentencing is the result of an outstanding collaborative effort between the U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Texas (Lufkin Division), the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Services-Criminal Investigation Division, Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Texas State Auditor's Office," said HSI Houston Special Agent in Charge Mark B. Dawson. "By working together as a team, we were able to bring justice to the hurricane victims to whom the funds were intended to aid."
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security / Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Texas State Auditor's Office. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tom Gibson and James Noble.

Rolling Stones Play at Statesboro
May 4, 1965 - Statesboro
"Pop music is sex and you have to hit them in the face with it." So said the Rolling Stones' manager as they rolled onto the music scene in 1962.
They were the vanguard of the British Invasion, a new breed of pop stars influenced by Elvis and Chuck Berry. The Stones made the Beatles seem tame: their hair was longer, their attitude more threatening, and their music echoed the raw sexuality of American blues.
In May 1965, two days after their second appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, the Stones played Georgia Southern College in Statesboro. Tickets cost $3. Mick, Keith, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman played 10 songs to a subdued audience largely unfamiliar with their music. One week later, the Stones recorded "Satisfaction" in Chicago. Coincidence? You decide.
It was a pivotal moment in the Stones' long career when they played their first concert in the American southeast in Statesboro on May 4, 1965, Today in Georgia History.

Theater company open to all
SoL Theatre Company, or Stage of Life Theatre Company, is partnering up with the Carbondale Council on Arts and Humanities to launch a new nonprofit theater company for children to be based in Carbondale. Their goal is also to offer their program at the lowest possible cost to the participants, as well as scholarships for children who would not otherwise be able to afford participation in theater in this valley, while still putting on high-quality productions.
The first production they are doing to kick off the company is "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" – set to open on June 21 in Carbondale (at the Carbondale Middle School auditorium). Auditions are coming up on April 28 and 29 at the PAC3 in the Third Street Center in Carbondale.
The production team consists of Marisa Post, choreographer (a longtime local and theater director and choreographer who has worked for Aspen Community Theatre and Theatre Aspen), and Dory Light as musical director (also a longtime local who is currently music directing for "Rocky Horror" up at Colorado Mountain College and has worked with several companies in the valley). The director and founder is Logan Carter, who has worked with children for the past four years with Jayne Gottlieb Productions as well as taught for Theatre Aspen, Thunder River Theatre, Aspen Community Theatre and Hudson Reed Ensemble.
Tuition for "Joseph" is set at $350 per child, which is half the cost of the current theater companies for children in the valley. Scholarships also will be available to those who qualify. SoL is able to offer their program at a much more reasonable cost due to the support from the community in terms of fundraising and sponsors.
SoL Theatre's mission is to build a healthy community and nurture our youth to their greatest potential through the performing arts. Through the use of theatrical training and production in a fun, safe and supportive setting, SoL Theatre Company helps children and young adults expand their self-concept, inspires them to lead by example and educates them to build the social and emotional tools in order to live meaningful lives.
SoL Theatre also is partnering with Thunder River Theatre on its conservatory program for children, with classes starting in July. For more info on SoL Theatre's beginning and how it is collaborating
with organizations in the valley to offer theater to children from all walks of life, visit http://www.soltheatre
company.com or contact Carter at 720-936-9732 or soltheatrecompany@gmail.com.
