Arizona Files Unique Lawsuit in the United States Supreme Court
Posted by Dev Sethi | Aug 04, 2019 | 0 Comments
The Supreme Court of the United States often goes by a nickname, "The Highest Court in the Land." And that's not just because of its secret, fifth floor basketball court. SCOTUS, another popular nickname, is the highest court in the federal judiciary. Established by Article III of the United States Constitution, the court has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all federal and state court cases that involve a point of federal constitutional or statutory law. That jurisdiction is largely discretionary -- that is, the Justices, themselves, decide which cases to hear and which cases to pass on. The process of getting case to the Supreme Court is rigorous and the chances of getting an audience with the seven Justices is slim. Each term the Court receives between 7,000 and 8,000 filings, with only about 80 of those cases being given a hearing. All in all, about 100-150 cases a year are decided by the court.
Lesser known is SCOTUS' original jurisdiction -- that is the types of cases that can be filed directly with the Supreme Court. Article III grants the Supreme Court original jurisdiction in a rare set of circumstances, "In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and counsuls, and those in which a State shall be a party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction." The Supreme Court historically hears between 0 and 3 such cases each term. Lower federal courts have the same original jurisdiction, so litigants typically file somewhere else. Plus, the Supreme Court is not really set up to try lawsuits - even ones that fall within its original jurisdiction.
The framers likely carved out this original jurisdiction for the Supreme Court out of a sense of fairness. Where else, for instance, could Arizona sue Texas over water rights issues and get a fair shake? Or where could Wyoming and Colorado go head to head on where to draw the border. Beyond that, though, the typical case is adequately handled in a federal district courthouse.
Enter Arizona...
Last week the Arizona Attorney General took the very bold step of filing a lawsuit on behalf of the State of Arizona in the Supreme Court of the United States. Saying the opioid crisis requires bold action, the state asks the Justices to order members of the Sackler family, which owns Purdue Pharma, the leading maker of opioids, to return what it claims are billions of dollars looted from the company.
In an interview with the New York Times, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said, "We want the Supreme Court to make sure that we hold accountable those individuals who are responsible for this epidemic." This lawsuit is not unique - similar claims have been filed nationwide. What makes this an audacious strategy is filing directly with the Supreme Court. Brnovich stated, "I do think it is a long shot. It's a little different. It's a little unorthodox. Sometimes you've just got to throw deep."
In it's lengthly and detailed complaint, Arizona alleges that the opioid crisis has contributed to hundreds of thousands of deaths in the last two decades and cost the United States economy more than $78 billion annually.
While the plain language of Article III suggests that the Supreme Court has to hear this case, over the years the Court has exercised its discretion and turned down cases that otherwise far into its original jurisdiction. And since it's the highest court in the land, who's going to overrule them. Most recently, the Supreme Court declined jurisdiction in Nebraska v. Colorado. Nebraska sued its neighbor on claims that centered on Colorado's legalization of marijuana. In a 5-2 decision, the Court declined jurisdiction. Justices Thomas and Alito wrote a dissent arguing that federal law does not allow the Supreme Court to decline jurisdiction on cases that fall within Article III's grant of original jurisdiction. Arizona's lawyers rely on that dissent in their filing.
If the Supreme Court accepts jurisdiction, it will likely assign a Special Master to coordinate pre-trial matters like discovery and depositions. In my estimation, though, the Supreme Court will direct that this case, as important as it is, be heard at the District Court level. And I suspect that the team of lawyers representing Arizona know as much, too. This strong shot across the bow of Purdue Pharma may really be a play to position Arizona for a leading role in future settlement negotiations and/or a leading role in some consolidated litigation where claims by many states are litigated against the company in one proceeding. Arizona clearly wants to make its presence felt, and quickly.

Battery Day tech will go high-volume in 2022, help offset cell shortage
Sep 22, 2020 battery, cell, Day, highvolume, Offset, shortage, Tech
Ahead of Tesla's Battery Day event, to be held Tuesday, September 22, CEO Elon Musk Monday explained via Twitter that while it plans to increase battery cell purchases from Panasonic, LG, CATL, and perhaps other partners, it still anticipates battery shortages starting in 2022 "unless we also take action ourselves."
At the event, Tesla is expected to showcase what's been rumored for a long time: a combination of technological developments that help produce batteries that are more energy-dense, last longer, and are cheaper—and easier—to make.
In 2019, Tesla bought ultracapacitor specialists Maxwell Technologies, and it purchased Canada's Hibar, a battery maker that was linked to lithium-ion battery researcher Jeff Dahm, who was involved in Tesla's "million-mile battery" skunkworks project. That project, working out of a facility near Tesla's Fremont factory, has reportedly resulted in a cell capable of lasting three times the cycles of Tesla's current cells.
Tesla factory, Fremont, California
Neither Musk nor Tesla has confirmed that what's to be revealed at Battery Day directly relates to those developments. But in Tesla's Q2 financial update call, held in July, Musk noted that it was transitioning some Model 3 production to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells so that it might save more of its higher-energy-density cells for the Semi, as production ramps up for 2021 deliveries.
We intend to increase, not reduce battery cell purchases from Panasonic, LG & CATL (possibly other partners too). However, even with our cell suppliers going at maximum speed, we still foresee significant shortages in 2022 & beyond unless we also take action ourselves.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 21, 2020
Musk's pre–Battery Day comment confirms that the Cybertruck and Roadster may also be privy to the new state-of-the-art cells. They're all examples for which keeping weight down but energy up is imperative. Excess weight means reduced payload for a pickup, and can blunt the performance of a sports car.
Tesla Cybertruck live unveiling – November 21, 2019
Set to be streamed directly after Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, the event will likely follow the format of the company's Autonomy Day held in April 2019. Expect to get some background on the company's current technology, a glimpse of what it's working on behind the scenes, and a tease of future products and, perhaps, vehicles to come. And leave room for at least one bombshell surprise that months of speculative reports have missed.
Battery Day will be missing one key executive in Tesla's present-day battery strategy. JB Straubel, who left the company in summer 2019, is widely assessed as one of the world's top experts in EV battery tech.
Tesla CTO JB Straubel and CEO Elon Musk presenting at gigafactory tour, Reno, Nevada, July 2016
Earlier this year, in what's essentially become a meme of its own, Musk said that Battery Day is going to "blow your mind." Then just earlier this month, he again fed the hype machine, with claims that Battery Day "will be very insane."
That said, Musk faces an unusual kind of challenge: He needs to sell investors on the long-range viability of the rapidly expanding global EV maker, while not convincing too many fans and prospective buyers to postpone upgrades and purchases until the new technology has arrived. That's a fine line, and Musk is generally not one to keep to finely crafted talking points.
You can check out the Battery Day presentation here, after the company's 1:30 p.m. PT meeting concludes.

Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist and a founding member of The Doors, died Monday in Germany. He was 74.
A statement from publicist Heidi Ellen Robinson-Fitzgerald said Manzarek died in Rosenheim, Germany, after a long battle with bile duct cancer.
Manzarek and Jim Morrison founded the iconic band after meeting in California. The Doors went on to become one of the most successful rock 'n' roll acts of the 1960s — and continues to have an impact decades after Morrison's death in 1971.

2019 Ontario Disability Champion Kurtis Barkley To Compete In Australian All Abilities Championship
Original story by Scott McLeod here
You know them by their surnames alone: Els, Day, Ogilvy, Garcia, Casey…and even Weir. They'll all be in the field December 5-8 at The Australian Club in Sydney for the playing of the 104th Emirates Australian Open.
But Mike Weir will not be the only Canadian competing on the grounds of the club this week.
While some of the top golf pros in the world will be playing for the Stonehaven Cup, this year's championship will also see the concurrent playing of the Australian All Abilities Championship (AAAC) presented by ISPS Handa. The circumstance will give the second edition of this tournament even greater exposure for a growing segment of golf.
Last year the AAAC invited their field based on the European Disabled Golf Association rankings but with the advent of the new World Rankings for Golfers with a Disability (WR4GD), North American golfers can now take part.
That means there will be more Canadian content than 2003 Masters Champion Mike Weir on the grounds at The Australian Club. Joining him there will be 32 year-old Kurtis Barkley of Winchester, Ontario, a small town located 45 minutes drive south of Ottawa.
Barkley, all five-feet of him, has become a well-known quantity in the National Capital Golf scene, often to the amazement of others.
2019 Ontario Disability Champion, two-time Ottawa Valley Golf Association (OVGA) City & District Champion, an OVGA Tournament of Champions winner, and victor at the Flagstick Shootout at Smuggler's Glen in 2015, Barkley has proven himself on the golf course.
All this while dealing with challenges his competitors could hardly imagine.
When he was born to Kathy and Rick Barkley, he was abnormally small in size and they were told he might not survive. Tests revealed that he had severe Scoliosis with seven of his vertebrae fused together. Other skeletal issues in his torso caused breathing issues and also shortened his upper body.
It was not a very positive diagnosis but the younger Barkley has made the most of it, even when that meant spending a huge part of his youth enduring visits and tests at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Unable to take on more physical sports like his brother he looked to golf to sooth his competitive spirit at an early age.
"What I have always enjoyed about golf is not only competing but trying to get better," Barkley shared in an interview with Flagstick a few years back. "It doesn't matter what you shoot in golf, there is always something you could have done better. It's a game (where) you can never stop improving. When I go out and play golf I'm just like anybody else."
But competitive golf takes a toll on Kurtis. He faces an uncertain physical future. That made him re-think his competitive golf plan in recent years.
The recent proliferation of golf events around the world for those with physical restrictions crystallized a vision he always had to play the sport he loves around the globe.
That led him to competing on the European Disabled Golf Association circuit in 2019. In just five events he posted four top-three finishes, and he also won the inaugural Ontario Disability Championship. When an opening came available for a spot in the 12-person Australian All Abilities Championship, he did not hesitate to accept it.
It seemed like a fateful call.
You see, Kurtis Barkley is acquainted with the country. He lived there from the ages of 8 until 11. His father was employed by Winchester Cheese which has been sold to Australian dairy giant Bega. Their family, along with several others, made the move to help the parent company with brand operations. They lived in Tathra, about 400km south of Sydney.
It was a grand adventure for the family, and for a young Kurtis. He had started hitting golf balls at age 3, made it to the course at age 7, and the climate in Australia was favourable for both his body and his golf game, being able to play all year long.
Coincidentally, it was also the place where he first played golf competitively. When he came back to Canada at age 11 he has reduced his index to the same number, and he's not stopped playing since.
The symmetry of it all is not lost on Barkley. "It's crazy if you ask me, full circle indeed," he shared just hours before he was set to embark on the punishing 23-hour journey down under.
Now the #18 ranked player in the WR4DG, Barkley reached as high as #13 during the season and the plus handicap player has a goal to be in the top 8 next year.
The appearance in Sydney will help that quest, but it will also be more meaningful, with a chance to also tee it up in the presence of some golf icons.
"I take great honour in representing Canada in Australia," said with sincerity. "The 2019 golf season was a rollercoaster, travelling the world playing golf was a dream of mine ever since I was a kid. I was at the airport travelling to Las Vegas (to compete in a U.S. Adaptive Golf Alliance event) when I got the message that a player had backed out of Australia and I was first alternate. I am blown away to be able to play with the biggest names in golf."
Barkley will be accompanied by his fiancé, Marissa Imrie, to Australia where they will spend two weeks in total.
He says he is looking forward to meeting Weir but, as always, the chance to compete drives him.
"It's 7000 plus yards but I am really eager to see what I can do on the big stage."
As for his strategy, he says he will do what he has done his whole life, on and off the golf course, do things his own way.
"Let's just say I'll play my own game, fairways and greens." He then adds in his usual playful manner, "If I win, I win, but no one remembers second."
The first round of the AAAC will be played Friday, December 6th, with the conclusion on Sunday, December 9th. The champion will be crowned at a ceremony alongside that of the Emirates Australian Open.

Lady Clancarty, or Wedded and Wooed
(Redirected from Clancarty)
Lady Clancarty, or Wedded and Wooed is a comedy in four acts by Tom Taylor (1817-1880)[1].
The play later also performed under the shortened title of Lady Clancarty, or even simply billed as Clancarty.
The play is wrongly listed in the index to F.C.L. Bosman's 19870 history of South African theatre as "Lady Clantary, or Wedded and Wooed", though named correctly named in the body of the text (p.368).
Described as "a tale of the assassination plot, 1696", it was first performed, under its original full title, at the Olympic Theatre, London, on 9 March, 1874.
Published by Samuel French, London, Issue 368 of French's standard drama (The Acting edition) in 1874 and by Chatto & Windus, 1877.
1878: Performed as Lady Clancarty, or Wedded and Wooed in the Theatre Royal, Cape Town by Captain Disney Roebuck's company on 8 May, with scenes from Robinson Crusoe (Byron). The evening a benefit for Sutton Vane.
1878: Repeated by Captain Disney Roebuck's company in the Theatre Royal, Cape Town on 10 and 11 May, again with scenes from Robinson Crusoe (Byron).

Foxtrot uses topical themes to deliver a bruising sociopolitical statement that's equally effective taken simply as an absorbing, well-acted drama.
Michael and Dafna experience gut-wrenching grief when army officials show up at their home to announce the death of their son Jonathan. Michael becomes increasingly frustrated by overzealous mourning relatives and well-meaning army bureaucrats. While his sedated wife rests, Michael spirals into a whirlwind of anger only to experience one of life's unfathomable twists - a twist that can only be rivaled by the surreal military experiences of his son.
A film full of mystery and switchbacks is resolved in resounding style.
Maoz definitely knows how to knock a film together, so fingers crossed that the window between this and his next one is a lot more narrow.
Before the retrospective letdown, there is an exhilarating kind of disorientation as we move from one narrative section to the next.
It's an extraordinary film, far from easy, ultimately thoughtful and hard to forget.
Like a self-inflicted wound, it leaves a mark.
The best thing to be said of this well-intentioned film is that it doesn't resort to lecturing.
It's a clever, funny, unsettling film.
Its intensity is too artfully channelled ever to turn into poignancy.
The film's tastefully constricted aesthetic is enjoyably at odds with its unruly, philosophical themes; the slipperiness of a dual identity, the fragility of war and the relentless manner in which grief can leak into a home's every crevice.
Foxtrot is a cinematic delight with a profound message at its heart and many striking shots that resonate long after the final credits roll.
Hellerian surrealism. Slapstick comedy. There are many tones and textures set against two backdrops in Samuel Maoz's long-awaited follow-up to Lebanon.
There are no featured reviews for Foxtrot at this time.

Joanna Hogg, Tilda Swinton talk mothers, memory and regret
By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

VENICE, Italy (AP) — Joanna Hogg was extremely nervous about showing her mother her latest film, "The Eternal Daughter."
The writer-director of "The Souvenir" films had, again, mined her own life for material and inspiration. Here she wanted to make something about a woman about her age, in her 60s, and her mother on a trip together. It would be a ghost story, in a way, with conversations about memory, regret, life and happiness.
But she never got the chance to talk it over with her mother, who died while Hogg was editing the film. And she's feeling a bit fragile a few hours before its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, sitting beside her star and lifelong friend Tilda Swinton, who plays both the mother, Rosalind, and the daughter, Julie.
Hogg is not the only one feeling this way, either. This is the kind of film that gets under your skin. And no one is quite sure if they'll make it out of the interview with dry eyes (spoiler: they don't).
"Maybe we'll all just have a cry together," Hogg said.

"I have tissues!" Swinton responded, handing one to Hogg and one to this reporter.
"She was so looking forward to seeing this film. She loves ghost stories — loved ghost stories," Hogg said. "I was never brave enough to tell her what the film was about. But she probably knew because she was very intuitive."
It's something Hogg had been mulling for many years. There was a false start in 2008, but then she was emboldened by Swinton's portrayal of the mother, Rosalind, in "The Souvenir" films. They wanted to go deeper into this woman who was a child in England in World War II.
In "The Eternal Daughter," Julie would take her mother back to the large estate where she lived during the war, now a hotel, and ask her about her memories with the idea that it would become a film. The initial conceit was for Swinton to play Julie and to cast another, older actor for Rosalind. But Swinton had another idea: What if she just played both?
"It became a completely different film," Swinton said. "It was not about a relationship between two people. It was about something much more profound and mystical and psychiatric and painful. It became much deeper."
Swinton, whose mother died a decade ago, talked often with Hogg about surviving that loss. Then Hogg suffered the same after the shoot. Though her mother was in her early 90s, it came as a surprise.
"As I was making it, I was wondering how I would be able to show it to her," Hogg said, wiping away tears. "As a daughter I'm sitting here still feeling very guilty about what I've done, that somehow I'll be struck by lightning, that I've done something bad."
That anxiety that she felt then and is feeling even more deeply now became part of the fabric of the film. Julie too feels guilty for wanting to make a film about her mother and says that it feels like trespassing. It's something Swinton can relate to as well. Both are the artist children of non-artists of a bygone generation.
"That in itself is a burden," Swinton said. "Joanna and I share this sense of deep shame. The idea of being as vulnerable and exposing and having a kind of emotional relationship with the world feels so transgressive and such a betrayal. We have felt it all the years of making our work. So we are a mess today."
They even wondered occasionally if the film would mean anything to anyone but them. It was so personal. But as with many great films, though the conversations and anxieties presented in "The Eternal Daughter" are theirs, the specificity also makes it universal.
On set, the small crew would also contribute their own stories to the process. Everyone was personally invested, which Swinton said is rare when you're dealing with such "emotionally expensive" material.
"Having said that, it was so joyful," Swinton said.
Hogg continued: "Yes, the darker the film, the lighter the shoot. (Ingmar) Bergman was an example of that. He had a great time on shoots!"
Then, of course, there were the logistics of filming long conversations between two characters being played by the same actor. Hogg and her cinematographer made what Swinton called a "radical filmmaking choice" to not shoot the typical over the shoulder angle that establishes that orients an audience in the scene, but to just shoot Julie and Rosalind individually.
Sometimes Swinton would spend full days shooting as Rosalind and the next as Julie, and other times it was half days with a switch in the middle.
"The skill behind that was quite remarkable because she is shapeshifting and each day swapping from one character to another and doing it with no gimmicks," Hogg said.
"It was strangely symbiotic and quite easy," Swinton added.
As with all of Hogg's films, there was no traditional script. The conversations are improvised, which allowed Swinton and Hogg, the one conversing with Swinton off camera as Julie or Rosalind, to follow their noses.
"Joanna's way of working, and the way of working that I am now absolutely devoted to, is the most, for me, inspiring and responsive way of working I can imagine," Swinton said. "I'm loathe to work any other way now."
"I find it extremely inspiring to ask oneself what would one say next," Swinton continued. "It's a revelation."
The editing of it, however, was "quite complicated," weaving together thousands of hours of improvised material.
With every film, once it's done, Hogg says goodbye and lets it out into the world. "The Eternal Daughter," which is playing in competition at Venice, will screen at several more festivals before A24 sets a release date.
"It's hopefully a gift for people. We've really opened ourselves up," Hogg said. "And our parents would be horrified."
Swinton added quickly, "Or not? Maybe not."
Then, as if rehearsed, the two lifelong friends said in unison: "Maybe they wouldn't be."

All She Wants for Christmas, p.1
Part #1 of Kent Brothers series by Jaci Burton
By Jaci Burton
Big Star, Small-Town Christmas
Country singer Riley Jensen would never have returned to her small Missouri hometown if her publicist hadn't come up with the scheme to tape a Christmas special there. So she never would have known that the man who broke her heart at eighteen--causing her to flee to Nashville--was now a widower with a seven-year-old daughter. Riley has ten years of angst-filled hit songs and Grammy awards to prove she doesn't need Ethan Kent. But suddenly, she can't help thinking of all she gave up by running away...
Ethan Kent knew Riley had the talent and the drive to make it as a singer. He also knew she wasn't going anywhere if she stayed in their nowhere town for him. Then one night and one huge mistake sent her running on the road to fame. Which doesn't mean he ever stopped loving her...
But with so much separating them, can Riley and Ethan find their way back together one magical country Christmas?

To Charlie. Every day is Christmas because of you. I love you.
"This is your home town? This tiny little blip in the middle of nowhere?"
"Yeah, this is it." Riley Jensen tensed as the tour bus pulled down Central Street. In ten years, nothing much had changed. The post office was still there and so was the hardware store, the clothing shop that was probably still owned by busybody Charlene Talmage, and the diner on the corner where her foster mother used to drag her on Saturdays so she could gossip with all her friends. The five and dime still stood in the center of all the chaos.
"And you said people wouldn't come." Riley's publicist stretched her long, lithe body across the leather seats and peered out the darkened privacy glass. "The streets are lined with people." Joann turned to Riley. "See? Your town still loves you."
Riley sniffed. "My town just wants to be on television and they know I come with photographers and a TV crew."
Joann tsked. "So cynical for one so young."
"I'm almost thirty, Jo. I'm hardly young anymore."
Jo swiveled and gave her an eye roll. "You're twenty-eight, not anywhere close to thirty, and you're hardly headed for the rocking chair, so knock it off, put on your biggest smile and get ready to greet your hometown fans. It's show time."
Show time. Hometown. She hadn't been home since she'd bought a bus ticket ten years ago and ran like hell from Deer Lake. And she'd never once looked back, come back or wanted to, until Joann and her agent, Suzie, convinced her--no, forced her--to make this trek in order to film part of the biography special in her hometown.
That they wanted to do it during the Christmas holidays was ridiculous, but whatever. Not that she had any plans anyway.
Why Deer Lake agreed to it considering she hadn't once stepped foot in this place in the ten years she'd been gone wasn't because they loved their long lost home town gal. They should hate her for turning her back on them, for never coming back, for never once giving back to the town that had raised her.
Yet here they were, lined up on the streets as if she were Santa in the annual Christmas parade. And she knew why. All the smiles and waves and banners and screams outside the bus were for one thing and one thing only--exposure for the town that sat on the outskirts of the Ozarks. Deer Lake had its quirky charm and a few interesting attractions. The lake for one thing, which was a hotspot in the summer. Tourism would benefit from the exposure, and so would the town.
Jo held Riley's jacket in front of her. "You ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." She slid into the warm suede and took another look at the woman in the mirror. She was so different from the girl she'd been when she'd left ten years ago. Back then she'd been scared out of her mind when she'd bought the one-way ticket to Nashville with nothing but a few clothes in her suitcase, her guitar and the money she'd saved working at both the movie theater and the restaurant.
"They're proud of their hometown girl, Riley. Grammy Awards, ACMs, CMAs. You name it, you've won them all. They know that and they want to celebrate you."
"They know that and they want to capitalize on me."
Jo cocked her head to the side, her dark hair pulled back in a loose ponytail, her lips painted a deep, dark red Riley could have never pulled off. "Girl, you are so mistrustful of your town. Get a grip."
Riley swallowed past the lump in her throat. She was never nervous on stage. She lived for the spotlight. But facing down a few hundred townsfolk--people she'd known since she was a kid--yeah, that got her knees shaking.
At least she could take comfort in the fact there was a less than zero chance Ethan Kent and Amanda Richfield would be out there. She was positive neither of them would want to see her any more than she'd want to see them.
"Let's just get this meet and greet over with, okay?"
She took a step toward the door, but Jo put up her hand. "As soon as all the cameras are in place."
Ugh. She liked doing concerts just fine, loved playing for her fans. But this television stuff was a whole lotta nonsense. And a biography already? Riley thought you had to be old to get a biography. That way you actually had a life story to tell.
Apparently not. One of those true story television shows wanted her biography, claimed she had a rich life history and people wanted to know about it. They'd already filmed some concert footage as well as face time with her at her home in Nashville. She thought the whole thing was ridiculous. She was still single, had no kids, hadn't been on drugs or been to prison, didn't hang out at the clubs and party, and spent most of the year on the road. When she wasn't touring she was in the studio writing and recording music.
Which would make for a pretty boring biography, in her opinion.
But the producers and Jo and Suzie thought where she came from was interesting. Sure, her daddy had died when she wa
s a baby and her momma had run off not long after that, leaving her in the custody of foster care, but that wasn't much different than what a lot of kids went through. Didn't make her special. She'd had nice foster parents. No one beat her or abused her. She'd had an okay childhood, and she'd been a damn lucky adult so far, which still in her mind didn't make for interesting television.
Whatever. They knew better about that kind of stuff than she did.
"Cameras are in place, now, Riley. Ready to rock and roll?"
No. "Sure."
The bus doors opened and the sounds of screams and applause rose up, filling the bus. Crowd noise typically made her smile and jazzed her up, because that meant performance time.
But today she'd be giving a different kind of performance. Today she'd have to pretend she was happy to be back home again.
Jo went first and moved out of the way and Riley stepped forward, her heart pounding so fast all she could hear was the buzzing of a thousand bees in her head. She gripped the side rail, dizziness making her feel lightheaded.
If she passed out would she still have to do this? Maybe if she fainted they'd drag her back onto the bus and she could go home. The bio producers would rethink this whole thing. They'd call her a silly diva, not worth their time.
Jo gave her an expectant, move-your-ass-off-the-bus look.
You can do this. These people don't know you anymore. All she had to do was play to the crowd like it was a concert in any city.
She lifted her head, took in a deep breath, and stepped down, becoming Riley Jensen, superstar of country music. She lifted her hand over her head and waved, and the crowd went crazy.
Okay, maybe she could do this as long as she didn't make eye contact with anyone. She looked over the crowd, not at them.
She was invisible. She wasn't really here. She was at home watching reruns of Bewitched.
"Riley! Riley! Riley! Can you see me?" Reality intruded and she couldn't help but hear the high-pitched squeals in front of her. She focused her gaze on the little girl in the front row. Wow, there was a tiny explosion of pink. Bundled up in her pink down coat with her pink hat and pink gloves and matching pink boots, her dark pigtails contrasting against the cotton candy color of her coat, the little girl looked like a tiny fan girl maniac. Riley grinned.
She was such a sucker for kids. She nodded at security, who let the little girl come through. Riley squatted down as the kid catapulted herself into her arms.
"Hi, Riley Jensen! I love your music, Riley Jensen! My daddy and me waited all day for you." She pulled back and gave Riley a big, brown-eyed grin. "Gosh you're pretty. I got my nails painted just for today." The little girl pulled off her glove. "Aren't they pretty, Riley Jensen?"
And that's why Riley loved kids. She examined the child's fingers. "Wow, those are awesome. Pink's my favorite color, you know."
"That's what my daddy says. He knows you. Says you two went to school together."
"Is that right?" She scanned the crowd and settled her gaze on a man standing just beyond the little girl, her heart jerking in response.
This--this was why she hadn't wanted to come back.
Or rather he was why she hadn't wanted to come back.
He was why she'd run ten years ago. She straightened and looked into the deep amber eyes of the one man she'd never hoped to see again.
Ethan Kent, the first guy to break her heart. Okay, the only guy to break her heart, and the only guy she'd ever loved.
She felt the tug on her coat and looked down at the little girl, who grinned up at her. "Riley Jensen, that's my daddy."
Oh, hell.
Ethan should really learn to say no to his daughter. If he had, he wouldn't be standing in front of what was essentially the entire town of Deer Lake while facing down the woman who'd left him ten years ago in what had been the biggest scandal of the town. Because Riley had found him in bed with her then best friend, Amanda, who he'd subsequently married, and who had become the mother of the adorable but precocious little minx who'd managed to wriggle her way to the front of the line this morning in order to get the best view of country singing superstar Riley Jensen.
Yeah, hadn't that been a fun time in his life ten years ago? Scandal, drama and tears, and he'd brought it all on himself.
Despite screwing it all up, though, he'd gotten Zoey out of it, and she was definitely the right thing. He'd never regret her.
But facing Riley again? That he hadn't planned on. When she got her record deal and hadn't come home to celebrate it, he figured he'd dodged the big bullet. He'd long ago given up hope of ever seeing her again.
'Til now. And staring at her until she turned tail and ran again probably wasn't gonna happen, so it was time to man up and say something.
"Riley."
She managed a bright smile that he knew was totally for the cameras. "Ethan. So great to see you again. This is your daughter?"
"This is Zoey, yes."
"How...awesome." She looked down and grinned at Zoey, and he was happy she didn't plaster on a fake smile for his daughter, because Zoey had a bullshit meter that was good for about ten miles. "Nice to officially meet you, Zoey."
Zoey slid her hand in Riley's and shook it up and down. "Nice to meet you too, Riley Jensen. I have all your music on my iPod. I'm seven years old. My favorite song is the one you did for the cartoon movie, The Princess Bee." She looked around Riley to meet Ethan's gaze. "Daddy, what's the name of that song?"
How about a nice earthquake to swallow him whole? No? Gee, thanks. "The Girl of My Dreams."
"Yeah. That one. Daddy likes that one, too. He sings it around the house all the time, don't you, Daddy?"
It was a damned shame it was December and a tornado couldn't come sweep him away right now. "Sometimes."
"He sings it in the shower. Really loud. I can hear him with the door closed."
Riley arched a curious brow but he was saved by his daughter, who never let a moment go silent.
"Mayor Shims said you're gonna give a concert, Riley Jensen. Are you gonna give a concert?"
"Shims is the mayor now?" Riley's gaze shot to Ethan. His lips lifted at the look of horror on her face.
Stanley Shims had been the worst chemistry teacher at Deer Lake High School, and neither Ethan nor Riley had been particularly fond of him. The feeling had been mutual and their grades had reflected it.
"Yeah. As a matter of fact, he's making his way to you right now."
"Good God." She pivoted just as the mayor arrived. "Mr. Shims! Or should I say, Mayor Shims. Congratulations."
"Well, thank you, Riley. And congratulations to you on your success. I guess we both reached the pinnacle, didn't we?"
Ethan was certain being mayor of Deer Lake didn't compare to being a Grammy Award-winning musician, but Shims apparently couldn't seem to make the distinction.
The mayor dragged Riley away to officially re-welcome her to Deer Lake and do some pontificating, which Shims did so well. Ethan grasped his daughter's hand and gently tugged her back toward the crowd. Now they could blend back into obscurity, where he'd have been the entire time, if not for the fact Zoey didn't have a shy bone in her entire body.
"Come on, muffin. You got to meet Riley, and she's busy with other people now, so it's time to go to Grandma's. I need to get to work."
They started back toward the crowd but someone caught him by the sleeve of his jacket.
"Excuse me. Are you Ethan Kent?"
He turned around to face a gorgeous redhead with the longest false eyelashes he'd ever seen. She had on skin-tight pants and was wrapped in a thick coat and gloves as if she were expecting this to be North Dakota or something. It might be December in Missouri, but it wasn't that cold.
"Yeah, I'm Ethan Kent."
"And this is your lovely daughter, who obviously made quite the impression on Riley."
Zoey smiled up at her. "You have pretty hair."
p; "Thanks, honey." She held out her hand to Ethan. "I'm Suzie Mitchell, Riley's agent."
"Nice to meet you."
She handed Ethan a couple tickets. "Backstage passes to the concert tomorrow night."
Zoey's squeal damn near burst Ethan's eardrums. Her eyes widened as she stared at Suzie like she was her fairy godmother. "Reallllly?"
"Yes, honey. Really. Riley wanted you to have these."
"Can we go, Daddy? We're going, right?"
Ethan pondered that learning-to-say-no-to-his-daughter thing, then nodded. "Sure."
Which resulted in more ear splitting squealing from Zoey and a wide smile from Riley's agent.
"Wonderful. We'll see you tomorrow."
"Great. Thanks."
Ethan wandered away, wishing he'd never come today. Seeing Riley again had been bad enough. She looked beautiful. She'd always been beautiful, but she'd grown up, lost the roundness of her teen years. Now she sparkled like a woman, curved in all the right places. Her hair waved around her face and shoulders, still that honey-wheat blond. He was surprised she didn't color it since she was famous now. Didn't all women change their hair seemingly every month or so? Hers was still the same color he'd always loved.
Her blue eyes still mesmerized and tongue-tied him. She didn't have on too much makeup like those rock stars and television people wore. She still looked like Riley, she'd just grown into herself more.
And a minute with her had brought back a lifetime of painful memories.
Now they'd have to go to her concert, where he'd have to listen to her sing all the songs she'd written about him.
Live. Where he couldn't turn her off and walk away.
Great. Just freakin' great.
He took the shortcut through the drugstore's back door, knowing Missy and Bob wouldn't mind. They were all busy ogling Riley and nobody locked anything up around here anyway. Zoey's hand in his, he cut through the side streets and walked up the concrete steps of his parents' house.
They had decided not to pay homage to Riley Jensen, mainly because his dad's knee was giving him trouble today and his mom said she had some pies she wanted to bake. Ethan figured the real reason was they thought it would hurt him if they went to see her.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Development (MLSD) has implemented the 13th phase of the Wage Protection System (WPS) on establishments whose workers range between 30 and 39 starting from 1st of February 2018.
Under this phase, 14,000 establishments will have to upload wage files of 477,402 workers according to the ministry's statistics.
MLSD spokesman Khaled Abalkhail clarified that the ministry emphasized its keenness to implement the protection on all private firms to ensure wages are paid on time, define wage scales for all occupations and reduce labor issues between employers and workers. He added the ministry will not lose momentum to enforce the system on every firm as timetables are set forth.
According to the sanctions and penalties mentioned in the labor law, if the establishment fails to pay workers' wages on time, it will be fined SR 3,000 which can be increased by the number of workers, Abalkhail said as well.
Abalkhail added if the employer fails to upload wage files on the system within two months from the date of enforcement, he would be banned from the ministry's services, except for issuance or renewal of work permits.
If the establishment is late to upload them for three months, it will be denied access to all the ministry's services, and the workers can transfer their service to other establishments without their former employer's approval and despite their valid work permits, the spokesman said further.
Recently, the ministry unveiled the WPS as part of the National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020. It aims to create a safe and suitable work environment in the private sector as it will increase transparency, protect the contractual relationships among involved parties and raise the compliance of small and medium-sized enterprises to the system.
The employers can visit the ministry's website and review upcoming phases of implementing the WPS. They can also register with the program in advance as the demo registration will not result in imposing any sanctions on them.

How to get your Ui pattern back after the outage
September 12, 2021 Comments Off on How to get your Ui pattern back after the outage	By admin
The outage caused widespread disruption in China's online shopping marketplace, and many Chinese consumers are still waiting to see if they can continue to shop.
But some have been able to buy goods they didn't need, and some people are saying they're back to normal.
For example, on Friday afternoon, many online shopping sites were experiencing outages, and the following day a major Chinese e-commerce platform called JD.com announced it was going offline.
The company said it was "unable to process payments and was unable to provide services."
According to JD.net, users who bought items on its site through the following hours were able to make purchases.
However, the company's online shop, JDgift, was unavailable and users were unable to buy products online, according to a tweet from the JDgifts team.JDL, the Chinese online e-tailer, also said it could not process payments on its website on Saturday, although it said it is working to resume operations on Sunday.
But some customers were unable or unwilling to make payments on their own and some were also left stranded on platforms such as JDgifting and JDstore, the leading Chinese online shopping platform.JDgifts, a platform that is owned by JD.co, reported a total of 11 million outages across the country, while JDgast, the largest online shopping site in China, reported over 500,000 outages.
Some sites reported a partial outage on Saturday.
The company also reported an outage at its JDgreet store in Beijing.
The JDgree shop is a popular online marketplace for Chinese people and they were experiencing issues with payments and transactions.
Many Chinese users have been complaining about the difficulties they've been experiencing with their purchases and were unable buy things they were told they needed, said the JDGree team.JD.com has since updated its official website with a new message that it is back up and running.
JDgrees message said that its customers can continue shopping, but that the site is still experiencing technical issues.
In response to the problems, JDGrees platform told users that "we will work to improve the quality and speed of the site, and are working on ways to provide customers with more convenient, easy to use shopping experience."JD.net said that it will not be able to respond to specific questions from Breitbart News, but will provide more details on its official response to questions from consumers and investors.
JD.cn, the JD.gree's parent company, said in a statement that it "is experiencing a technical problem and is working on resolving the issue."

Short-term income protection (STIP) policy rates vary depending on the type and level of cover you're looking for. Always take the time to make sure the policy you get is in line with your financial needs and competitively priced.
Monthly payments (also known as premiums) for short-term income protection insurance depend on a range of factors.
job (some occupations carry a higher risk than others and might mean you have to pay more each month).
STIP protection policies are designed to pay out over a fixed amount of time, usually a year. They aim to bridge the gap until you can work again. If you're concerned that you might not be able to work in the long-term, you might consider income protection insurance.

Titans ponder preseason approach as Cowboys continue East chase
All-risk, no-reward stands as the objective predicament the Tennessee Titans face for Thursday's date with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Titans (7-8) can improve their record but risk injury while gaining no ground in playoff positioning until the Jan. 8 winner-take-all AFC South showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Even if the Jaguars beat the Houston Texans to improve to 8-8, should Tennessee lose Thursday, the division title would still on the line when the teams meet head-to-head.
"We're at where we're at," Titans coach Mike Vrabel said of the dichotomy of pushing to solve a five-game losing streak even with the option to rest players Thursday. "We're trying to figure out what's the most important thing, what's best for the team, what's best for the player."
Lagging confidence brought by a winless December — Tennessee's last victory was Nov. 17 at Green Bay — and injuries to key personnel including quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) might be enough to convince Vrabel to use select starters in a cameo on a short week.
"Whatever I've got to do," Titans running back Derrick Henry said on Tuesday after practicing in a limited capacity because of a hip injury. "Whatever coach needs me to do, I'll be ready to do."
After listing nearly 40 percent of the active roster on the injury report last week, Vrabel finds himself in tight quarters in his own locker room thanks to comments regarding the commitment of players outside of their supervised work schedule at team headquarters. Given that backdrop, pulling back on preparation at this juncture of the season could be a catch-22, but Vrabel said the team's best interest is the only variable right now.
"I have a lot of respect for most of these guys that have been here. My job is to listen, find out what each and every player, coach is thinking and make a decision in the best interest of the football team," Vrabel said.
In addition to Henry, the other positive injury news for Tennessee on Tuesday was the health of the secondary. Cornerback Kristian Fulton was a limited practice participant after missing three consecutive games with a groin injury. Safety Amani Hooker (knee) practiced for the first time in three weeks but was also limited.
Vrabel said Tannehill is "disappointed he can't help us right now" but praised the team's leaders for their approach to Week 17. The Titans are preparing rookie Malik Willis to start in the face of profound struggles pushing the ball down the field. Willis is 31 of 61 for 276 yards with zero touchdowns, three interceptions and has been sacked 10 times.
Dallas (11-4) is the top wild-card team in the NFC and maintains the slimmest hope of catching the Philadelphia Eagles in the East division.
"Honestly, I don't ever really care what they're doing on the other side," Prescott said. "It's about us just building momentum and gaining confidence with each game, and moving forward as we play these last two (games) out and move over into the postseason."
Even if the Titans opt to roll out their "A" team, recent trends are not on their side. The Titans are averaging 15.2 points per game since scoring a season-high 27 points to beat the Packers. In the same timeframe, the Cowboys scored 223 points (Tennessee has 269 for the season), an average of 37.2 over a six-game stretch.
The Cowboys are still trending upward after a 40-34 comeback win over the Eagles last week, their fifth victory in six games. While the pass rush has slowed with one quarterback sack in the past three games, the body of work is daunting: 49 sacks and a plus-12 turnover margin. The Titans are minus-3.
And Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy isn't fretting the downturn in pass-rush production and gave no thought to the idea of resting key players to match Tennessee's lineup.
"I think the only people that need to be worried about our pass rush are (the teams) we line up against," he said Tuesday.
The Cowboys can win the NFC East if the Eagles lose their final two games and Dallas beats the Titans and Washington Commanders. Philadelphia locks up the division and home-field advantage throughout conference playoffs with a victory Sunday against the already-eliminated New Orleans Saints (6-9).
"If [the Titans] wanna roll us the ball a couple times and let us go from there, I'm all for that," Prescott said. "We'll take it however they want to do it."
But their own injury concerns could impact both sides of the ball. Cowboys guard Zack Martin (knee) was a full practice participant. Running back Tony Pollard (thigh) and linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) did not practice.
Among limited participants Tuesday were linebacker Micah Parsons (hand), safety Jayron Kearse (elbow/back) and defensive ends DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) and Sam Williams (concussion).

RAN: Publisher's books linked to paper from endangered rainforests
Madison E. Rowe
One of the world's most respected publishers has become the latest subject of criticism by the Rainforest Action Network (RAN).
HarperCollins has been accused by the conservation group of using materials sourced from Indonesia's endangered rainforests.
Reuters reports that independent forensic fibre tests commissioned by RAN show that some of HarperCollins' children's books were printed with rainforest fibre.
Indonesia is home to some of the world's most biologically diverse forests and houses many endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger.
"No child or parent should become an unwitting participant in rainforest destruction this holiday season," said RAN forest campaigner Robin Averbeck to Reuters.
Averbeck called on HarperCollins not to do business with Indonesian paper firms Asia Pacific Resources International (APRIL) and Asia Pulp and Paper Co Ltd (APP). APP has been accused by other environmental groups of destroying rainforests in the past.
Reuters notes that officials at APP declined to comment. Officials at HarperCollins and APRIL also did not respond to multiple telephone calls and emails from the news agency seeking comment.
APP and APRIL "are indeed the main culprits here and it's good to be clear about that, but as they have not proven very responsive to direct pressure, we are forced to go after their customers to get them to take rainforest destruction seriously and HarperCollins is the sole major U.S. publisher remaining who has not made a firm commitment to stop doing business with them," RAN spokesman Laurel Sutherlin said to Reuters.
"Most people have never heard of these companies and do not realize they are buying products produced by them, but they do recognize companies like Disney and HarperCollins who are supporting their destructive business practices by purchasing from them."

Reuters reports that APP operates under the Sinar Mas brand, as does palm oil giant Sinar Mas Agro Resources & Technology. In the past, the company has been accused by Greenpeace of bulldozing high conservation value forests and damaging carbon-rich peatlands.
