Q: Django first migration has one anonymous user When setting up a django project, the first time I run manage.py migrate and go to manage.py shell and run:
from users.models import User
users = User.objects.all()
users
[<User: AnonymousUser>]

I always get this AnonymousUser. After creating my superuser and checking on the admin page I get:

Does Django create this lonely AnonymousUser for a specific purpose, or am I configuring something wrong?

A: I'm by no means an expert here but looking through the django auth docs, it seems as though django creates this user to handle apps where users can choose not to authenticate and still interact with app in some level.

If the current user has not logged in, this attribute [request.user] will be set to an instance of AnonymousUser, otherwise it will be an instance of User.

Is this what you were looking for?

A: I have this issue with django-guardian, this apps creates AnonymousUser in the first migrate.
The docs says:

GUARDIAN_GET_INIT_ANONYMOUS_USER
    New in version 1.2.
    Guardian supports object level permissions for anonymous users, however when in
    our project we use custom User model, default function might fail. This can lead
    to issues as guardian tries to create anonymous user after each syncdb call.
    Object that is going to be created is retrieved using function pointed by this
    setting. Once retrieved, save method would be called on that instance.
    Defaults to "guardian.management.get_init_anonymous_user".

Improving Outcomes for Infants with Severe Chronic Lung Disease Through Individualized Patient Care and Research
Published on Sep 24, 2020 in Neonatology Update
Newborn and Infant Chronic Lung Disease Program
Second Opinions, Referrals and Information About Our Services
To Transport a Child to CHOP
Contributed by Erik Jensen, MD, MSCE, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Attending Neonatologist in the Division of Neonatology.
Infant chronic lung disease, also known as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), is among the most common and consequential complications associated with prematurity. Roughly half of all extremely preterm infants develop BPD during their newborn hospitalization and most of those with the disease go on to suffer significant deficits in lung and cardiovascular health, growth, and neurodevelopment throughout childhood and even into adulthood. While considerable research has focused on the prevention of BPD, there is comparatively minimal available data on the best strategies to care for and improve outcomes among infants with established BPD.
In 2010, clinicians and investigators at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) created the CHOP Newborn/Infant Chronic Lung Disease (NeoCLD) Program to address this gap. One of the first of its kind in the world, the CHOP NeoCLD Program was designed to be a clinical and research home for infants with BPD receiving neonatal intensive care throughout the surrounding region and nation at large.
Our team recognized early in the course of the NeoCLD Program that BPD is not one uniform disease. Rather, each infant with BPD is unique and requires an individualized care plan. Much of our research focuses on developing new strategies to understand each infant's pathophysiology and tailor appropriate therapies.
We are currently using next-generation sequencing techniques to characterize the lung microbiome in infants with established BPD and have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to conduct a novel phase-1 trial of inhaled antibiotic therapy among infants with harmful bacterial pathogens identified in the airways. In addition to the injurious invasion of micro-organisms into the lungs, gastroesophageal reflux (GER) with pulmonary aspiration is an often cited but poorly understood potential contributor to ongoing respiratory disease in infants with BPD.
Our research team is actively recruiting patients into a multifaceted study that will provide valuable new data on GER in BPD titled "Gastroesophageal reflUx in and the association with Lung disease in Preterms (GULP): A prospective cohort study." The GULP study employs 24-hour esophageal pH and multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH/MII) testing to diagnose and quantify GER in infants with BPD. This gold-standard technique is coupled with concurrent cardiac echocardiography, continuous cardiorespiratory physiologic monitoring, and videography. These diagnostic studies are then combined with the results from computed tomography (CT) imaging of the lungs and bronchoscopy of the airways to develop a detailed and individualized picture of each patient's disease. Our neonatal clinicians, in conjunction with a wide-range of pediatric subspecialists, use this information to select appropriate respiratory support strategies, medications, feeding regimens, and when needed to recommend surgical interventions to families.
Additional recently completed and ongoing studies conducted by the NeoCLD team include:
Single and multicenter cohort studies proposing new, evidence-based diagnostic criteria for BPD and BPD sub-types.
Randomized clinical trial comparing two different goal oxygen saturation target ranges in infants with established BPD to help determine the optimal level and duration of oxygen therapy in this population.
Placebo-controlled randomized trial of aerosolized albuterol in ventilator dependent infants with BPD.
Novel N-of-1 multiple crossover trial comparing cardiorespiratory stability during gastric and transpyloric feedings.
Optimization of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) level selection.
Development of dosage and duration informed treatment strategies for diuretic therapy in severe BPD.
Development of novel techniques to characterize and improve early motor development in infants with severe BPD.
Investigators in the NeoCLD Program receive funding to conduct this research from the National Institutes of Health, the American Lung Association, the Thrasher Research Fund, CHOP, and other national organizations.
Our ability to perform state-of-the-art research and combine it in real-time with ongoing clinical care allows us to positively influence the health of our current patients and to design our next studies aimed at improving outcomes for our future patients. We take extreme pride in being able to offer our patients and their families the opportunity to participate in this exciting research, and we are hopeful that this work will continue to yield important insights into the optimal care of infants and young children with BPD.

1919-1945: The Proletarischer Zeitgeist
A short history of the radical German workers' newspaper Proletarischer Zeitgeist from its birth in the AAUE union through its political development to its decline.
In 1922 the majority of the membership of the councilist union the AAUE (United General Workers Union) of Zwickau was expelled because of their participation in the works councils in the railway workshops and the mines. This majority retained control of the AAUE paper, Weltkampf, so the remainder of the Zwickau AAUE founded the paper Proletarischer Zeitgeist (Proletarian Spirit of the Times). This minority had experience of editing WeltKampf which had been founded in 1919, but also with Communist Worker Newspaper of West Saxony between 1920-1921. It had initially tried to use Die Einheits-front (The United Front) paper in Berlin and Revolution published in Dresden and Heidenau as a forum.
In November the first issue of PZ appeared with the sub-title: a newspaper written by workers for workers and the slogan: the development of the self-confidence of the working class is the first condition for its victory. Its editors were Werner Heidel, Marie Meier, Fritz Land, E. Kohlisch, Richard Beier, L Wuebbens and Willy Fischer.
Metalworkers in Zwickau as well as some quarry workers, miners in Haselbach and textile workers in Falkenstein supported the paper. PZ's geographical spread was the Haselbach area with Altenburg in the north, Falkenstein in the south and Hohenstein Ernsthal in the east-the district of West Saxony. But the organizing successes of 1920-21 were not to be repeated. The defeats of many strikes, the state of siege from 1923 and inflation weakened the movement. Papers like Revolution in Dresden and Council Communist in Oberrohna disappeared. By default PZ became the AAUE organ for central Germany.
After various seizures, PZ was printed outside of West Saxony. In order to avoid repression by the employers, articles appeared without a name. But also the editorial line was strongly against what they saw as a cult of personality developing around celebrities, against 'new authorities being bred' as they said. This developing pugnacious anti-authoritarian outlook led on to the PZ group breaking more and more with the strictly Marxist outlook of the AAUE and mid-1924 they too were expelled.
'Anti-authoritarian authorities' were sharply criticized in PZ, among them Rudolf Rocker, Otto Ruhle, Franz Pfemfert and Erich Muehsam.
As a result PZ became the organ of oppositionists within AAUE and opened itself up to smaller council communist, unionist (throughout this article 'unionist' refers to those organised in councilist unions and not the mainstream unions controlled by the Social Democrats and Communists) and anarchist groups throughout Germany. So it was supported in the north in Hamburg, in the west in Hagen and Iseloh, in Thuringia in Eisenach, in central Germany in Leipzig and in Halle-Ammendorf. Its main circulation however was still in Saxony, and outside Zwickau that meant Dresden Freital, Pirna, Heidenau, Zittau, and Sebnitz. A strong unionist movement existed in Pirna. In addition a group of unionist youth under the influence of the anarchist anti-militarist Ernst Friedrich had come into existence. They distributed PZ as well as other papers like Schwarze Fahnen (Black Flag) Freie Jugend (Free Youth) Der Junge Unionist (The Young Unionist). An oppositional group of the Socialist Workers Youth in Leutersdorf also supported PZ as did young unionists in Jena, Leipzig, Zittau and Berlin.
PZ went from regional reporting to questions about the development of revolutionary consciousness. There were many discussions for example around women, children, Esperanto, psychoanalysis, dialectical materialism, and the future economy. PZ opened up its pages to anyone who regarded themselves as anti-authoritarian. As a result there were lively and often sharp polemics. As the enterprise was envisaged as a comradely cooperation, the editorial board hardly ever intervened in an editorial capacity.
As the anti-authoritarian movement began to wane, PZ itself was effected. Many small groups in West Saxony dissolved. However other small groups emerged and PZ was thus able to continue until 1933.
In 1932 the print run was still 2,400 copies which decreased in 1933 to 1,850 copies. There also existed a PZ internal bulletin to coordinate the groups
PZ was evolving towards an anarchist communist position. Otto Reimers (born in Hamburg in 1902) had been involved with the councilist AAU in Hamburg in the early 1920s and was a member of the PZ group from 1922 to 1933, being responsible for its distribution throughout Germany. In 1930 he became an anarchist. He carried on underground activity after the Nazi rise to power.
Despite occasional personal attacks PZ was drawing closer to the positions of the Anarchist Federation (AF: formerly Anarchist Communist Federation FKAD) in 1932. However this rapprochement was cut short by the 1933 events, although former AF members in East Germany and in Berlin cooperated in distributing PZ again at the end of the war (Fritz Heller, Templin and Pittelkow).
In 1930 PZ held its first Germany-wide conference in Pirna, and the following year in Halle-Ammendorf. The planned Easter conference of 1933 was aborted by the Nazi rise to power.
After 1933 some PZers were put into 'protective custody', among them Ernst Poenisch in Pirna, Marie Meier and Willi Jelinek in Zwickau. The group in Hagen was arrested in 1934 after meeting with a French comrade and spent some time in jail. Afterwards, one of them, Willi Fritzenkoetter, emigrated to England. Martin Kuechler was arrested in Pirna with his wife and friends for 'listening to enemy broadcasts'. The Hamburg PZers Paul Zinke, Ernst Fiering and Karl Kaminski were arrested in 1945 and murdered by having hand grenades thrown into their cells by prison guards as the British Army was approaching. Zinke's wife Margit and Fiering's wife Marie were hanged in the concentration camp of Neuengamme.(These murders were authorised by a local SS commander. In all 58 male and 13 female resistance fighters were targetted for execution. When some resisted their execution Obersturmführer Anton Thumann hurled grenades into their cells. For these and other war crimes, he was hanged in October 1946)
However the main networks of PZ survived and remained undetected because they did not keep membership lists. They were able to keep in contact between 1933 and 1945 under the cover of 'goodwill visits'.

Todd and Josh are hanging out. Jim overhears Todd talking to Josh about getting a new pair of sneakers, but Jim says his own are perfectly fine. He advises him to ask Helen, but relents and gives Todd $35. Todd tells him that it won't be enough – Josh's were $70! Jim is shocked and says it's too much. He finally agrees to $70, but not $190 which Todd really wanted!
Melanie sees Eric who is in Erinsborough looking for an outlet for one of his shops. He asks after Sky and tells her that he's grown very fond of his daughter.
Melanie comes in and sits with Christina. She's upset about her conversation with Eric and tells Christina that he's only Sky's biological father – Joe is her real Dad. She reckons Eric's got so much money he can do whatever he wants.
MELANIE: I know, I know. But Joe's a real underdog in this and it makes me sick.
Christina warns her that the only reason to marry is for love, but Melanie says she can't sit back and do nothing – Eric has such an unfair advantage over Joe. Christina tells her she'll have to talk to Joe and tell him that she can't marry him.
Paul invites Jim out to a night on the town, but he says he isn't in the mood.
Todd wants Cody to just go over and talk to Melissa, but she won't. Josh comes in and tells Melissa that he's heard about her and some guy in the dark room. Melissa says that Cody has been spreading gossip about her. Cody storms over and denies it. Melissa tells Josh that the guy just took her by surprise and Cody backs her up – the guy just jumped on her. Josh calms down a bit. Melissa and Cody make up.
Josh vows to flatten the Phantom Kisser when he finds out who it is!
Paul comes in with Caroline and drinks orange juice straight from the jug! Christina is unhappy to hear that Paul is going out – she is in the middle of cooking them a nice dinner. She's even less impressed when she hears that Paul is going out with Jan Daly!
When Paul has gone upstairs, Caroline tries to cheer her up and says they'll have a great night in on their own. Christina does not look convinced!
Melanie and Joe are sitting quietly watching TV.
MELANIE: Joe…you remember that conversation we had?
JOE: Yeah, you and me, and old married couple!
JOE: You know, a lot of people thought me and Kerry were a weird combination when we started stepping out and we soon showed them!
MELANIE: Yeah, it worked, didn't it?
JOE: Too right it did. Look, er, I hope you don't mind, Mel, but I had a quiet word to Harry today about the marriage.
JOE: No, you could have knocked me down with a feather. He thought it was a marvellous gesture on your part.
Christina is waiting up for Paul to come home. Caroline rolls her eyes and goes off to bed.
Christina asks Melanie if she talked to Joe about getting married, but she says she hasn't had a chance. Jim comes in and asks if Paul is in. Christina tells him that Paul didn't come home last night, but just then Paul stumbles in looking rather the worse for wear! Christina's face is a picture.
Josh is still moaning about the Phantom Kisser but finally admits that it wasn't Melissa's fault. Cody teases him that the Phantom Kisser is a very good kisser(!) and he doesn't look too chuffed.
Cody doesn't think they'll ever find out the Phantom Kisser's identity is he's that shy! They talk about some possibilities, but don't come to any conclusions.
Melissa opens her letter and finds a note from the Phamtom Kisser inviting her to meet him in the dark room after school! Melissa isn't sure, but she does want to find out who it is. Cody says she'll come with her for protection and to put the light on at the right moment!
Christina sees Joe and sits down with him. He asks her what she thinks of Melanie as wife/mother material and starts to tell her about the proposal, but of course she already knows about it. She tells Joe that she thinks it's a crazy idea.
CHRISTINA: I can't believe that you could take advantage of someone as sweet and loving as Melanie.
CHRISTINA: You don't know the heartache she's been through, do you?
Joe points out that it was all Melanie's idea, but Christina says Melanie is very kind, and he can't take advantage of her nature. He'd be preventing Melanie finding her Mr Right.
Melanie tells Paul that the gift shop float is all under control – Christina has sorted it. Caroline wonders where Christina is going with her modelling career and Paul reckons Christina isn't up to the competition(!) They decide that instead of laughing at her, they should be enthusiastic.
In the outer office, Joe comes in to see Melanie with some flowers.
They both talk at once, telling each other that they don't think it's a good idea. They laugh and realise they're on the same page.
MELANIE: When I think about it, it was a pretty stupid idea.
JOE: What's stupid about marrying me?!
Josh and Todd are chatting at the lockers. Todd wants to buy his sneakers ASAP and wants to spend more than the $70 that Jim gave him. He wonders if he can get an advance on his paper-round from Josh's dad to add to it. Josh wonders where Melissa has got to. He asks a random boy if he's seen Melissa and he suggests trying the dark room!
Melissa and Cody are waiting in the dark room. Melissa isn't sure about this, but Cody says it's "research"! Melissa worries that he might be a psychopath, so Cody says she'll hide in the cupboard. Melissa puts the light off.
We see a hand opening the door and creeping in to the dark room.
Cut to Josh outside the school. Todd rushes past him, having forgotten his cricket shirt.
Inside, Melissa lets Cody out of the cupboard and tells her that the Phantom Kisser has struck again! Josh comes in and asks what's going on and Cody tells him! He's not impressed. Melissa says that Josh must have passed the kisser in the corridor. Josh looks cross.

CPEC Committee Recommends To Open Sust Border For Whole Year
20 hours ago Wed 17th February 2021 | 09:56 PM
The Parliamentary Committee on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on Wednesday recommended for the viable proposals to open Sust border for whole year for increasing the bilateral trade between Pakistan and China
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Feb, 2021 ) :The Parliamentary Committee on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on Wednesday recommended for the viable proposals to open Sust border for whole year for increasing the bilateral trade between Pakistan and China.
The committee suggested to the quarters concerned to decide about the lead ministry which would regulate boder's management framework for opening the Sust border for whole year and shrug off all the odds and challenges faced at the border so that seamless regulation of trade and economic activities could take place there.
The second (in-camera) meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was held in Constitution Room, Parliament House here under the Chairmanship of MNA Sher Ali Arbab.
The committee was briefed by Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Secretary, Aviation Division, Secretary, board of Investment, Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum Division, Secretary, Ministry of Communications, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Joint Secretary, Power Division, Chairman, National Highways Authority, Secretary, Ministry Industries, Government of KP, Secretary, Industries, Government of Balochistan, , CEO KPEZDMC, CEO, FIEDMC, CEO, PESCO, Managing Director, SSGC, Managing Director, SNGPL regarding Sust Border management framework, progress on New Gwadar International Airport, the updated progress on infrastructure Development of 4 Prioritized Special Economic Zones under CPEC (Rashakai KP, Allama Iqbal Industrial City Faislabad, Dhabeji Sindh and Bostan Quetta and Gwadar Fencing Project.
During briefing on Sust Border management framework, the committee remarked that the world was increasingly moving towards complex economic interdependence.
The committee said that in 21st century trade, commerce, investment and connectivity were Pakistan's strategic interests.
The committee expressed dissatisfaction over snail's pace progress on New Gwadar International Airport and remarked that the procrastination in provision of facilities to Gwadar which was deemed to compete with Dubai and Chahbahar port vehemently cripples economic activities there.
Pakistan cannot have prosperous Gwadar without having fully functional international airport there. It is, therefore, vital to take up the issue of its delay at the highest forum and expedite the process of its completion.
Secretary, Ministry of Defence Lt.Gen Mian Muhammad Halal Hussain briefed the committee on Gwadar Fencing Project.
He apprised that the project was primarily aimed at making Gwadar city a "weapon free zone" and to create enabling environment for trade and business.
He said the project started on 4th December, 2020.
However, owing to reservations expressed by various segments of the society, it was temporarily halted on 29th December, 2020.
Government of Balochistan has also constituted a committee comprising local notables, elected representatives and civil administration for suggesting a way forward for the project, he informed.
He said that as soon as the consensus was evolved, the work on the project would be resumed at high speed. The committee recommended that MNA and Senator from Gwadar might also be included in that committee and apprehensions and reservations of local people pertaining to Gwadar Fencing Project should also be allayed to stave off the alienation of locals from the development of Gwadar under CPEC framework.
A pragmatic and holistic approach should be pursued with regard to the security measures being taken at Gwadar to beget a conducive environment for facilitating trade and investment there.
The committee expressed satisfaction over the pace of work on infrastructure development of Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Rashakai KP and Allama Iqbal Industrial City Faisalabad and noted that securing investment of billions of rupees in these SEZs was a landmark development.
The committee remarked that CPEC had potential prospects of ushering new era of economic development and lasting prosperity for the people of Pakistan and its success hinged upon the effective and timely operation of all SEZs.
Provision of utilities to all SEZs has been top priority of the committee therefore no compromise will be tolerated on the part of undue delay in provision of utilities to the SEZs.
The committee directed to take all the measures to catch maximum investment in SEZs and further expedite the process of provision of all ancillary facilities to SEZs.
The committee deferred briefing on Dhabeji SEZ due to absence of CEO, Dhabeji, Sindh and after observing slow progress on Bostan SEZ decided to convene special meeting on updated progress on infrastructure development of Bostan special economic zone by coming Wednesday.
The Committee sought the compliance on its previous recommendation regarding implementation of Axle Load Policy and expressed the concern that inability to implement Axle Load Policy in true letter and spirit is causing massive financial loss in billions of rupees in terms of road maintenance and repairing.
The overloaded vehicles are causing exponential damages to road infrastructure in Pakistan.
The Committee observed that there was an exigency of establishing the strongest coordination among all the quarters concerned and directed Ministry of Communications to ensure the implementation of axle load limit after consulting with all major stakeholders so that the trade could be regulated smoothly and damages to road infrastructure could be prevented.
The meeting was attended by MNAs Noor Alam Khan, Umer Aslam Khan, Mir Khan Muhammad Jamali, Ms. Nafeesa Inayatullah Khan Khattak, Ahsan Iqbal Chaudhry, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Murtaza Javed Abbasi,Ms. Mehnaz Akber Aziz, and Zahid Akram Durrani

Famous people born this month: Jesse Jackson
ByZoe Falcone
Amidst the turmoil of the African-American Civil Rights Movement in the mid 1960's, Jesse Jackson emerged as a powerful force in the struggle for equality. Under the tutelage of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jackson strived to improve living conditions for all African-Americans through the means of non-violent protest. As an extraordinary leader, he was able to unite people in the fight for justice at time of great shift in American history.
Jesse Louis Burns was born to Helen Burns, who was only 16 years old at the time, and Noah Robinson on Oct. 8, 1941 in Greenville, S. Car. A year after Jesse's birth, his mother married Charles Henry Jackson. While Jesse would later take on his step-father's last name, he maintained a relationship with Noah Robinson throughout his childhood and considered both men to be his fathers.
Jackson's first experience with civil rights activism came in 1964 while he was still an undergraduate at North Carolina A&T. He participated in the protest against white-only libraries, theaters, and restaurants. A year later, Jackson captured the attention of Martin Luther King, Jr., who was impressed by his passion and organizational abilities.
In 1966, King appointed Jackson as the head of the Chicago branch of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Following King's assassination in April of 1968, Jackson was widely viewed as his successor, continuing to advocate for racial equality.
In the political arena, Jackson became the second African-American to launch a presidential campaign in 1984, and, to the surprise of many, would finish third in the Democratic primaries. Jackson would run again four years later, this time capturing 6.9 million votes and winning 11 contests, but again failing to achieve the nomination.
Jesse Jackson was a man who did more than hope for change: he worked for it. The progress made by the SCLC has improved the lives of millions of African Americans and made way for more organizations of its kind. His work was recognized publicly by President Bill Clinton in 2000 when he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor bestowed on civilians.

Q: Do time based Workflow email alerts use latest details? I have various time based email alerts that fire when a record is created, although they might not be due to send until 30 days after the record is created. I can see them in the time based workflow queue. My question is if some details about the record change such as the owner or dates within the record will this then update the time based email even though it is already in the queue?
Many Thanks

A: This is from the Salesforce official help page.

Time-dependent actions remain in the workflow queue only as long as
  the workflow rule criteria are still valid. If a record no longer
  matches the rule criteria, Salesforce removes the time-dependent
  actions queued for that record.

Though it doesn't say anything about considering newer version of the record however since the workflow re-evaluates the criteria every time you update a record, its quite obvious that it will consider the updated record if only it still satisfies the criteria.

A: My understanding of this is yes, it will populate your email with the current data from the object at time of send. This would also be why your email stays in the queue only as long as your workflow rule criteria is still valid to keep it there.

Title: Towards a Thematic and Geographic Understanding of the 1946 Greek Elections
Presenter: Gerard O'Neil, History
The Allied Mission for Observing Greek Elections (AMFOGE) in 1946 was a precedent-setting event-the first large-scale internationally sponsored observation of an election-that is consistently unquestioned by traditionalist historians and overlooked by revisionist historians. Ultimately the U. S. state department produced an official report that declared the elections "free and fair," but this official narrative is subverted by AMFOGE records located in the Duquesne University Archives and the U .S. National Archives in College Park, Maryland. This study develops a narrative of events that identifies and examines the salient themes in a controversial election. In 1946, AMFOGE collected, but never analyzed, 305 open-ended observations in the Salonika District of Northern Greece; 275 of these observations have survived in the papers of District Secretary James F. Clarke.
Title: What is Corruption and When is it O.K.? An Analysis of the Public Perceptions in Two Regions of Armenia.
Presenter: Arpine Porsughyan, Social and Public Policy
It is widely recognized that corruption hinders the development of a country, negatively impacting its political, economic, social, and environmental spheres. Armenia is no exception, with corruption on the top of the list of problems the country is currently facing. Armenia continues to rank poorly on corruption indexes, despite the anti-corruption strategies, international community involvement, and ratification of various conventions.
Existing research on corruption mostly focuses on institutional corruption, while little attention is paid to the perceptions of the Armenian population on corruption. Employing a mixed-method design, the research aims at revealing how Armenians define corruption, in which cases the public justifies corruption, and what are the perceived causes and consequences of corruption.
Title: The Tie That Binds: Race, Discipline & Reproduction in Urban PreK-12 Schooling
Presenter: Jacqueline Roebuck Sakho, Educational Foundations and Leadership (ProDEL)
This paper presentation outlines a design agenda toward a networked improvement community that addresses racialized discipline practices occurring in PreK-12 schools nationally (Losen & Skiba, 2010). The design will (1) critically investigate systemic problems of practices enacted in education settings and (2) deliver generative improvements (Dreher, Everett, & Mathis Hartwig, 2001). The agenda first outlines both the situatedness of the problem of practice and the scholar practitioner bearing witness (Behar, 1996) to racially disparate discipline practices, which informs the process to build the conceptual framework (Maxwell, 2013). Next the agenda outlines critical research methodological precepts essential when implementing a process designed to produce disruptive innovation and a critical ontological shift (Smith, 1999; Christensen, Baumann, Ruggles, & Sadtler, 2006).
Title: The meaning of health among Iraqi women during resettlement in the U.S
Presenter: (Dr.) Khlood Salman, Nursing
Since 2003, the number of Iraqi refugees seeking resettlement in the United States increased dramatically. More than 4.5 million Iraqis have fled and left their homes because of violence in Iraq. According to the Iraqi Red Crescent Society, more than 83% of Iraqi refugees are women and children (2008). There is no standardized definition to the meaning of health concept, few researchers have reported on the meaning of health among immigrants from different countries. This study seeks to explore the meaning of health among Iraqi refugee women during resettlement in the United States. A descriptive and interpretive phenomenological design will be used. Data will be collected using in-depth, tap-recorded interviews. Themes related to the meaning of health will be generated using content analysis of verbatim transcriptions. Findings will be instructive in developing and providing health promotion and disease prevention services for this segment of population.
Title: Exploring resettlement in Pittsburgh, PA: The experience of integration for Bhutanese refugees
Presenter: Andy Smith, Social and Public Policy
This presentation introduces a proposed thesis project involving the concept of integration through the experience of Bhutanese refugees in Pittsburgh and the resettlement professionals who work with them. Although Pittsburgh is home to refugees from a wide range of countries, including Somalia, Burma, and Iraq among others, the Bhutanese population has recently and rapidly expanded to become the largest refugee group in the area. Given the central role attributed to integration in refugee resettlement and the interest that Pittsburgh has in successful Bhutanese adjustment, the proposed study seeks to examine the concept and state of integration for Bhutanese refugees through a qualitative case study approach, focusing on the definition and indicators of integration that give meaning to their resettlement experience.
Title: An Analysis of Institutional Impediments to Effective Decentralization in Azerbaijan: The Problem of Competences and Resources in Local Self-Government
Presenter: Elvin Yusifli, Social and Public Policy
This study provides an in-depth analysis of institutional problems that hinder the development of Azerbaijan's local self-government, exercised by municipalities. Despite certain improvements in the political, administrative, and financial capacity of municipalities during the 13 years after their inception, the overall picture of weak local self-government has not changed much. Over these years, municipalities have remained a marginalized appendage of the central government, and have had a minimal role in the political, economic, and social life of the citizens. This case study explores the role of two institutional factors - the current level of municipal powers and resources in the slow development of Azerbaijan's local self-government.

People v. S.W. - LaScola Law Offices, Ltd.
Home » Cases » People v. S.W.
Outcome: NO LICENSE SUSPENSION and NOT GUILTY - DUI!!!! Defendant saved from a 5-Year License Revocation!!!!!
Our client was arrested by Illinois State Troopers on the 90/94 after having been involved in a motor vehicle crash. The Trooper responded to the scene of the crash (where my client struck a concrete median wall) and observed our client with extreme balance issues. Mr. LaScola pointed out that these alleged balance issues were not captured on video…but even if they were, the fact that when the camera did capture our client on film, the same level of "alleged intoxication and balance issues" somehow don't seem to be present a mere 15 mins later. Mr. LaScola cross-examined the Trooper thoroughly on these points and also pointed out the Trooper's lack of memory as to specifics regarding how our client failed these field sobriety tests. Not surprisingly, the Judge at the Daley Center agreed and Defendant was found NOT GUILTY of all charges. Furthermore, at a previous court date the 3-Year license suspension that had been pending in the case was RESCINDED due to the State not being prepared for a hearing due primarily to Mr. LaScola's aggressive early filing of the Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension. This client is also facing a pending Violation of Supervision in another county and this complete win should allow that violation to be withdrawn. Defendant will likely be spared of a 5-year license revocation if he had been found guilty of this DUI because he would have been convicted of this one and the Violation would have caused the Supervision in the other county to have turned into a conviction.

Perry Meridian High School junior Kevin Waggoner will improve a sensory room for special needs children at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School for his Eagle Scout project. Waggoner has exceeded the goal of $3,000 in initial funds for the improvements that will be built in an existing room at the school this summer. Waggoner gained inspiration for his project from the late Luca Joseph Berger, a 13-year-old cousin who died Aug 15, 2015, a special needs child. He attended the Rise Learning Center.
Waggoner did the initial research on a sensory room and approached the school's occupational therapist Brooke McDonald, principal John Sponsel and Perry Township schools superintendent Pat Mapes.
The project also met the criteria of the Eagle Scout program of giving back to the community and showing leadership skills. Waggoner is a member of Troop 183 under scoutmaster Robert Bruce. The troop meets at Friedens United Church of Christ, 8300 S. Meridian St. With valuable input from McDonald, the room began to take shape with pencil and paper. The $3,000-plus already raised pays for new bookshelves, paint for the room, sensory wall panels, interactive lighting, sensory equipment, light tables and more items.
The sensory room attempts to utilize the children's ability to interact with others, develop organizational skills and stimulate their senses in ways that are not possible in a traditional classroom. The PMHS student also plays trumpet in the jazz band and is active in Best Buddies. He is a defender on the Falcons' lacrosse team and ran cross-country. He wants to seek an appointment to the US. Naval Academy and study law.
However, his love for scouting helps set the table for the future. He has taken part in many campouts and has gone whitewater rafting in West Virginia and twice to a rocket camp where scouts build and fire rockets.
"The skills I have learned in scouting can be applied to the rest of my life," he emphasized. "I am refining my leadership skills and am experiencing a high level of responsibility and accountability." He is the son of Jill and Kevin Waggoner Sr.
During conversations with Kevin Waggoner, he pointed out that he needs different types of locks that can be attached to a sensory wall being built as part of his Eagle Scout project at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School.
"The kids need items that they can touch and feel," Waggoner said.
He is specifically requesting donations of old door knobs, bolt locks or locks with chains (no padlocks, please.) Those items can be mailed to: Kevin Waggoner, 7908 Hoop Road, Indianapolis, IN 46217. Also, monetary donations still can be made through "GoFundMe" by following instructions to Waggoner's project or by mailing donations to his home address.

Q: Is there a canon reason/backstory for why Filch is employed by Hogwarts? Argus Filch seems to be singularly unsuited as Hogwarts caretaker.
He's not good at either his real job (cleaning up), being a Squib and thus unable to deal with any and all magical messes - never mind dealing with Peeves' ones; or his self-appointed job (discipline), given all the stuff students get by him.
He's also not exactly a good staff fit for a school run by Albus Dumbldore (what with his insatiable thirst for medieval torture of students for minor offenses).
Why exactly did Dumbledore keep him around and not replace with someone better at his job?
I'm looking for book canon/JKR answers.

A: As far as I could tell, there was no solid reason why he was hired or stayed on at Hogwards--just that he had been there for quite a long time as the caretaker of the school.

Argus Filch was a Squib and the caretaker of Hogwarts School of
  Witchcraft and Wizardry since around 1973.

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Argus_Filch
Anything else is just speculation, but the common understanding is what @Katey HW stated in the comments.

I always assumed it was because Dumbledore has a soft-spot for those who would be outcast from 'normal' wizard society; Hagrid is the most obvious example of this, but Remus Lupin is another. This is my read from the text, not a specific 'canon' answer

Saudi Arabia confirms Crown Prince won't attend Arab summit in Algeria
Doctors had advised Prince Mohammed, 37, to avoid long-haul flights that might affect his middle ear
Published: Sun 23 Oct 2022, 11:21 PM
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will not travel to Algeria next month to attend a summit of the Arab League on medical advice, the royal court confirmed in a statement on state media on Sunday.
Doctors had advised Prince Mohammed, 37, to avoid long-haul flights that might affect his middle ear, said the royal court. It has not previously stated that the Crown Prince, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, had ear problems.
Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud will head the kingdom's delegation to the summit instead.
The Algerian presidency said late on Saturday that Prince Mohammed would not attend the event to be held on Nov. 1 in Algiers in compliance with a medical recommendation to avoid travel.
Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz, 86, named Prince Mohammed as the kingdom's prime minister in September in a move a Saudi official described as being in line with the monarch's previous delegation of duties to his son and heir, including representing the kingdom on foreign visits.

Work may be your dominant thought, and joy an afterthought. But joy is your true purpose, and work the afterthought.
Your thoughts do not create reality. They either permit it or they do not.
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
You empower what you fight.
You withdraw power from what you release.
Money is but one venue for generosity.
Kindness is an even more valuable currency.


Mazatlan is home to many churches.
Our churches range from the spectacular and historic Basilica de la Inmaculada Concepcion -- our largest Roman Catholic house of worship pictured -- to more modest smaller churches.
These churches represent many religions including Baptist, Congregational, Jehovah's Witness, Evangelical Protestant Christian, Presbyterian, 7th Day Adventist, LDS and Lutheran faiths, as well as opportunities for non-denominational worship.
In addition to the churches in Mazatlan, there are many beautiful and fascinating houses of worship in surrounding Rural Sinaloa communities that can be accessed by day trip.
Rural Sinaloa churches range from the lovely modestly scaled churches at La Noria and El Quelite to the grand colonial churches located in Concordia, Copala, and El Rosario.
Baptist religious practice in Mexico has a long history, with the first Baptist evangelical church in Mexico consecrated in 1864 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon.
The American Baptist Home Mission Society and the Southern Baptist Convention sent several dozen missionaries to Mexico in the late 1800s, and they spread the faith throughout many states.
The Convención Nacional Bautista de México (National Baptist Convention of Mexico) is the oldest and largest Baptist church organization in Mexico.
Catholic religious practice came to Mexico with the Spanish Conquistadors and rapidly largely overwhelmed traditional indigenous religions. In some parts of southern Mexico -- notably the Yucatan peninsula -- modern Mexican Catholicism is blended with traditional Mayan beliefs and rituals.
Mazatlan has many Catholic churches ranging from the magnificent Basilica de la Inmaculada Concepcion in Centro to smaller houses of worship scattered throughout the neighborhoods and Colinias.
While Catholicism was formally separated from Mexican government -- after a near-century long struggle -- by articles of the modern Mexican constitution adopted in 1917, Roman Catholics represent over 80% the population of Mexico.
Construction of this magnificent Catholic church located in the heart of the Centro Historico began in 1856 under Bishop Pedro Loza y Pardave, but was halted a year later.
Work resumed in 1875, with the Cathedral completed in 1899 and the building being consecrated as a Basilica in 1937.
The facade is both Gothic and Moorish influenced and has three naves with altars, following the Baroque style.
The Basilica's exterior is finished in yellow untiles that were manufactured in Europe for this building.
The beautiful atrium contains two spectacular statues of Jesus that welcome worshipers and visitors, and the cathedral contains a remarkable collection of baroque altars, gold leaf murals, crystal chandeliers, religious sculptures, and a spectacular Parisian organ manufactured by Aristide Cavaille-Coll, arguably the best European organ builder of the nineteenth century.
It is noteworthy that the Basilica in Mazatlan is one of the very few Roman Catholic Churches anywhere in the world that displays the Star of David, which is embedded in its 28 stained-glass windows.
Within the church compound large sculptures of Saint Matthew, Saint Mark, Saint Luke, and Saint John stand at each of the four corners of the property.
Soaring over the apostles, the cathedral's twin towers and their outer cupola are finished with yellow untiles of made especially for the project in Europe.
Beautiful during the day, the cathedral is particularly magnificent at night when its facade is washed with spotlights and the crosses that cap its towers are illuminated.
Mazatlan's Basilica faces the Plazuela Republica, a lushly planted plaza with a Porfirian gazebo at its center. It is just a short stroll from Olas Altas Beach, the Plaza Machado or other locations in the Centro Historico.
The small Rectoria de San José is oldest Catholic church in Mazatlan. Construction was begun in 1837 and completed in 1842.
At the time the Rectoria de San José was consecrated the population of the Port of Mazatlan was about 4000 and -- despite the church's relatively small size -- was a majestic house of worship for that community, and remained the largest church in Mazatlan until construction of our Basilica was seriously underway in the late 1870's.
Iglesia Cristiana Congregacional is primarily an English-speaking church serving interdenominational Christians. Services are in English. The church operates seasonally, primarily over the winter during the tourist season.
Jehovah's Witnesses have a long presence in Mexico, with several hundred thousand active members -- those who preach -- and a larger number who express affiliation. There are four Jehova's Witness Kingdom Halls in Mazatlan, including an English speaking congregation located at the marina.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a long history in Mexico, with Brigham Young calling for a mission to Mexico in 1874. The following year missionaries set out with the dual purpose of finding locations for future Mormon settlements and speading word of the faith among Mexicans. By the late 1800s Mormon colonies had been established in northern Mexico, primarily within the border states of Chihuahua and Sonora.
Beyond established Mormon Temples in Mexico, many young Mormons choose Mexico as a place to serve their missionary year.
The Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Mazatlan is a ministry dedicated to service to the poor. Founded by Pastor Fred Collom his wife Debbie Collom, The Vineyard conducts Sunday worship services in English at 9am and in Spanish at 11am. The Vineyard ministry operates substantial community outreach programs that deliver food, medical care and spiritual comfort to the residents of some of the poorest colonias within Mazatalan.
Seventh Day Adventist churches are found in almost every country. The Seventh Day Adventist Church of Mazatlan was founded over 35 years ago with the help of a lot of Christian brothers from different part of the Mexican republic.
Mazatlan Seventh Day Adventist churches have services Sunday, Wednesday and Friday at 7pm.
Sabbath Services are on Saturdays from 9am to 12pm and at 6pm.
Everyone -- especially English speakers -- are warmly welcomed at all services.
The Salvation Army in Mazatlan provides the opportunity for non-denominational worship and charitable community activities.


As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season begins to wind down, many are taking the time to reflect on what transpired in 2018 and ponder what may lie ahead in 2019.
Since "year in review" articles are a dime a dozen this week, I will spare you yet another recap of all things 2018. Instead, it's probably best to just focus on what we should all expect next year. While there will be many twists, turns and surprises that are hard to predict, there is one thing we all know for sure about 2019: there is no doubt it will be action packed.
In Louisiana politics, next fall's elections will impact Louisiana's future more than any in recent history. While the race for the governor's mansion will rightly take center stage, the myriad of legislative races around the state that will collectively make just as much of an impact. Experts predict between 60-70 new legislators will be elected, creating the possibility of new faces and fresh voices to tackle old problems. There is great opportunity, and also great risk, for all in Louisiana political circles this year. Anyone not getting engaged is likely to get rolled over. So, stay tuned... better yet, get off the sidelines and get into the game now before it is too late.
In Washington politics, Nancy Pelosi takes over the House and brings with her promises of tough hearings and stern resistance to President Trump at every turn. In response, the President has already sent a daily barrage of fiery tweets and hosted an unprecedented press conference in the Oval Office with Democratic leaders that literally left the Vice President speechless. Anyone expecting cooler heads to prevail as all these leaders find a way to work together in 2019 needs their own head examined. Surprising as this may sound, the town on the Potomac will get even messier and uglier in the new year. Best advice for us all is to just stay off social media as much as possible and hope the markets don't get overly spooked as the soap opera plot intensifies.
In state policy circles, hopefully this year will be the one where new, unconventional alliances can be hatched. For two years in a row, conservatives, faith-based groups and business organizations reached across the aisle to work with left-leaning groups on compromises for landmark criminal justice reform and then on the unanimous jury bill. This year, will liberal groups be the ones getting outside their comfort zones, reaching out on topics like legal reform that could help reduce insurance rates, tax reform that could attract jobs rather than repel them, pension reform that works for taxpayers and modern employees and education reform that can bring robust choice and competition to areas that need it most? That would be a fitting and bipartisan next step along this trend to find collaboration where possible among differing factions.
In federal policy circles, some certainty is needed on a few topics… none more than trade. The use of tariffs to improve deals and reduce trade deficits has been accepted by many as a short-term bridge to better long-term trade pacts. However, concerns are growing over the impact to critical domestic industries like agriculture and manufacturing, should these tools become a more permanent US trade policy in 2019. Adding to that, the new agreement struck with Mexico and Canada, heralded by many, needs Congressional approval and Speaker Pelosi is already signaling she wants to re-open that deal. This position, along with her interest in rolling back the deregulation that spurred economic growth last year, is not helpful for the clarity the market seems to crave.
In sports, the Saints are poised for a magical run in the playoffs (knock on wood), and Drew should finally get the MVP he has long deserved (knock again). If Coach O keeps recruiting in 2019 like he did in 2018, the Tigers will regain that bite from a decade ago and contend for a title next year (knock again). Will Wade's star-studded pack of young pups start playing as a team by tournament time and make a Cinderella run for the ages a la Dale Brown's 1981 and 1986 teams (knock again)? The Pelicans needs to win early in 2019 to have any hopes of keeping AD in New Orleans past 2020. No stone should be left unturned to keep him here. Just for good measure, go ahead and knock on wood again….
How about a return to family values, pride in work, mutual respect and unabashed, widespread patriotism? That would be cool to see and tremendously helpful for our country.
The fad of sensationalizing and idolizing socialism as a viable governing philosophy should go the way of the dinosaur.
A Louisiana Constitutional Convention to finally modernize the document that does more to protect insiders at the Capitol than the people around the state.
A new bridge in Baton Rouge… and Lake Charles.
And, most of all, Nick Saban's retirement from coaching.
Thanks for the memories, 2018. It's been, uh, interesting. Surely, 2019 has to be better… right? Right? Better knock on wood again.

As a father of a growing family, my family and I are currently going through a lot of transitions. My daughter just turned 3, my wife is pregnant and due in a few months, and we have just sold our house.
Part of the process that we're going through is evaluating good homes, apartments and townhouses that will work well for our family. As part of this process we've come up with 9 essential home features for young families to keep their sanity.
One of the best ways to keep your sanity as a young stay at home parent is simply through separation. Townhomes and houses that have two levels allow the parents to unwind downstairs, while the kids are sleeping upstairs at nap time or when it's time to go to bed. By having a level of separation parents can relax, watch a movie, or be intimate without worrying about young eyes that could peek through from the other room.
Kids love to run and play, especially with brothers and sisters, friends, and family pets. With a fenced in backyard, kids, friends and pets can run and jump and play together happily and safely, without the temptation to run out into the road and without the temptation to run off to somewhere they shouldn't be without mom or dad.
Being near major highways always poses an obvious risk to children. As a general guideline, if you can hear the highway, then it's too close to your family, and it could pose a risk to you and your kids. I like to use the golf rule. If you could tee up a golf ball and hit the ball onto the highway from the yard, the highway is too close. 300 yards or farther should be a safe distance for young children.
Kids love Grass. They love to play games, and play organized sports such as soccer and little league baseball and all sorts of fun activities. With each of these activities, kids need room to play. Large back yards and large open green spaces are ideal for playing in the neighborhood. Even if you don't have a large back yard in your next potential home, check out the nearby parks and fields. Is there open space for kids to run and play?
5. Is it Pet Friendly?
Do you have a favorite family pet? Our family has a small Papillon dog named Simba. My daughter Ruthie describes Simba as her best friend. One of the ESSENTIAL features of our next home or townhouse is a place that will accept small animals like Simba. Pets are an important part of kid's lives. They can teach responsibility, discipline, and they bring joy through friendship and playfulness. Make sure to accommodate your child's pet when considering your next place to move.
Does your house have a toy area or a toy room? This doesn't have to be anything fancy. It can be as simple as an open den area or a back cement room where kids can store all of their favorite toys, and play with them openly. Back cement and storage rooms are often only seen as storage rooms, but a lot of physical activities are possible in rooms with hard floors including riding a bicycle or tricycle, riding around in a cozy coupe car, or bouncing tennis balls. Be sure to consider both the storage and toy room potential of your next home, so kids can entertain themselves when you just need a break.
Over the last few months my daughter has come to love going to the children's museum. She also loves going to play in the center of the mall in the kids area. Both of these activities are now part of our regular routine, to help Ruthie develop physically and socially. When you're moving to a new town or city, what kinds of kids museums and kids play areas does that city offer to the public? Be sure to check out all of the family fun activities of your neighborhood and of the greater metropolitan area.
While everyone may not agree, I believe that having fast Internet access is going to be a key piece of your child's education. More and more child's electronics, tablets, laptops, smartphones and a host of other devices are designed to be connected to the internet. With an internet connection, kids can download games, puzzles, interactive learning tutorials, flash cards, and all sorts of applications that can not only enhance, but truly define the scope of that child's education. Make sure there are a few options, such as DSL or Cable based Internet. When you combine a fast internet connection with a virus proof computer with great kid-safe controls such as a mac book pro, the result is a fantastic learning tool for your child.
Last but not least, check out the local beaches, public pools, and water activities that are available for children. My daughter Ruthie loves to go to the beach and play in the sand and the shallow safe waters of a nearby lake with her "Nana." My wife also enjoys taking our daughter to a local toddler safe water area called the "splash pad." The splash Pad is a small water fountain with a large spout in the center, and about 10 smaller water spouts that surround the big center spout that kids can run and play in.
The water is 3" at the deepest point, so there's no risk of kids drowning, and the 30' by 30' area is fenced in, with benches to sit around the edges and watch their kids have fun in the water. IF you're considering a move to a new area, scope out the area for splash pads or other kid friendly water activities.

In this case concerning the admissibility of jailhouse rap lyrics composed by Defendant as substantive evidence that he shot and killed George Forrester the Court of Appeals held that the rap lyrics were relevant and admissible and that the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in admitting the lyrics.The State sought to introduce a recorded telephone call containing the rap lyrics as substantive evidence of Defendant's guilt. Defendant moved in limine to exclude the recording. The circuit court denied the motion and admitted the rap lyrics. The Court of Special Appeals affirmed, concluding that the lyrics were admissible under Maryland Rules 5-401, 5-402, and 5-403. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) the rap lyrics were relevant under Rule 5-401, and therefore were admissible under Rule 5-402; (2) the rap lyrics bore a close factual and temporal nexus to the details of the murder; and (3) therefore, the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the rap lyrics under Rule 5-403.

Wise v. State
November 24, 2020 by Justia
The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals affirming the judgment of the circuit court convicting Defendant of assault in the first degree, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence, and wearing, carrying or transporting a handgun, holding that the Court of Special Appeals did not err.Specifically, the Court of Appeals held that the Court of Special Appeals (1) correctly affirmed the admission of a statement by a witness with memory loss as a prior inconsistent statement given the witness's contradictory testimony at trial; and (2) did not err in expanding the circumstances rule which hearsay is admissible under Md.

Byrd v. State
The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals upholding the circuit court's denial of coram nobis relief, holding that the nondisclosure of evidence relating to the alleged misconduct of several of the officers that prompted the charges and pleas in this case was not sufficient to render Petitioner's pleas involuntary.Petitioner pled guilty to have committed, in two separate cases, the crime of possession of heroin with intent to distribute. Upon completion of his sentences and probation, Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of error coram nobis, arguing that prior to the entry of his guilty pleas, the State failed to disclose to him evidence of misconduct on the part of some officers involved in the arrests that prompted the criminal charges and pleas. The circuit court denied the petition, and the court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the State was under no obligation to disclose the potential evidence of misconduct prior to trial and that the nondisclosure did not constitute a misrepresentation in violation of Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970). View "Byrd v. State" on Justia Law
St. Luke Institute v. Jones
The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals reversing the order of the circuit court directing that Saint Luke Institute, Inc.

Montgomery County v. Cochran & Bowen
October 26, 2020 by Justia
In this workers' compensation action, the Court of Appeals held that the Workers' Compensation Commission did not err in calculating the deduction of decibels from Claimants' total average hearing losses under Md. Code Ann., Lab. & Empl. (LE) 9-650(b)(3) by counting the number of years between each firefighter's fiftieth birthday and the dates that they each retired from employment with Montgomery County, Maryland.Anthony Cochran and Andrew Bowen, former firefighters, developed hearing loss, and Bowen also developed tinnitus. Both men filed a claim under LE 9-505. The Commission awarded compensation to both claimants, finding that each had sustained hearing loss arising in and out of the course of their employment and that Bowen had sustained tinnitus arising in and out of the course of his employment. The Court of Special Appeals held that the Commission correctly calculated the deduction set forth in LE 9-650(b)(3) but erred in awarding permanent partial disability benefits to Bowen for tinnitus. The Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part, holding (1) the Commission properly calculated the deduction set forth in LE 9-650(b)(3) by counting the number of years between each man's fiftieth birthday and the date of retirement; and (2) the Court of Special Appeals erred in reversing the Commission's decision as to tinnitus.

State v. Wilson
The Court of Appeals held that the evidence in this case was sufficient to support Defendant's convictions for witness tampering and obstruction of justice where Defendant married a witness for the State with the corrupt intent of having her invoke the spousal testimonial privilege at his upcoming murder trial.The evidence indicated that Defendant married a potential witness for the State in order to have the witness invoke the spousal testimonial privilege at his murder trial. Before trial, the circuit court granted the State's motion to preclude the witness from invoking the spousal testimonial privilege. A jury subsequently found Defendant guilty of witness tampering and obstruction of justice. The Court of Special Appeals reversed, concluding that the evidence was insufficient to support the convictions because State failed to prove the "corrupt means" element of the convictions. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding (1) when a person marries a potential State witness with the intent to enable the witness to invoke the spousal testimonial privilege at a criminal proceeding the evidence is sufficient to support convictions for witness tampering and obstruction of justice; and (2) Defendant's conviction for witness tampering did not merge for sentencing purposes with his obstruction of justice conviction.

Rochkind v. Stevenson
In this case, the Court of Appeals chose to adopt Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993), as the governing standard by which trial courts admit or exclude expert testimony, thus replacing Maryland's "Frye-Reed Plus" standard.The Frye-Reed standard, born of Frye v. United States, 293 F. 1013 (D.C. Cir. 1923), and Reed v. State, 283 Md. 374 (1978), started in Maryland and continued to be the standard for determining the reliability of expert testimony after the United States Supreme Court decided Daubert. The Frye-Reed standard eventually morphed into the Frye-Reed Plus standard, which adopted several Daubert principles. For that reason, Appellant argued that this Court should adopt the Daubert standard and apply it to this case. The Supreme Court agreed and reversed this matter for pretrial proceedings and a new trial consistent with this opinion, holding (1) this Court adopts the Daubert standard in Maryland because those factors are persuasive in interpreting Maryland Rule 5-702; and (2) this case is remanded for the circuit court to apply this new evidentiary standard.

75-80 Properties v. RALE, Inc.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals affirming the judgment of the circuit court vacating original development approvals by the Frederick Council Council so that the Council could proceed with a de novo reconsideration proceeding, holding that the circuit court did not err in vacating the development approvals after the Developers refused to participate in a de novo reconsideration proceeding.A local citizens group opposed the Developers' rezoning and development application and sought judicial review. The circuit court found that a former member of the Frederick County Board of Commissioners had violated the ethics statute by engaging in an ex parte communication and remanded the case for reconsideration. The Frederick County Council reconsidered the Developers' application in a de novo proceeding, but the Developers refused to participate. Thereafter, the circuit court vacated the original development approvals and remanded the matter. The Court of Special Appeals affirmed. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) the County Council had the discretion to determine the scope of the reconsideration proceeding; (2) the doctrine of zoning estoppel does not apply under the facts of this case; and (3) there is no ambiguity in the Ethics Statute.

Mount Sophia residential site attracts 9 bids
POSTED: 10 Sep 2013 7:33 PM | CNA
SINGAPORE: A residential site at Mount Sophia attracted nine bids at the close of its tender on Tuesday, according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
The highest bid was submitted by a consortium comprising Hoi Hup Realty, Sunway Developments and S C Wong Holdings at S$442.28 million.
This works out to a land price of S$1,157 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
The top bid is only 0.1 per cent higher than the second highest bid, placed by Fantasia Investment (Singapore) and Singhome (Mount Sophia) at S$442 million.
EL Development submitted the lowest bid at S$284.8 million.
The tender for the 99-year leasehold site was launched on June 28.
The project is located near Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station, the Orchard Road shopping belt and the cultural areas of Little India.
It has a site area of 23,770.5 square metres and maximum permissible gross floor area (GFA) of 35,528 square metres.
In a statement, Colliers International's director of research & advisory Chia Siew Chuin said: "The land parcel is unique, as the government rarely releases for sale, residential sites located in the prime district 9 area."
The site is made up of the former Methodist Girls' School and Trinity Theological College.
Ms Chia adds that "the unique history of the location might also strike a sentimental chord with homebuyers".
At a land price of S$1,157 psf ppr, analysts estimate the break-even cost for the new project to range from S$1,650 per sq ft to S$1,750 per sq ft.
This means when units at the new project are ready for launch, the selling price could start from S$1,900 per sq ft.
