Uganda business opportunities: South Africa is ready!
A group of South African businesspeople who participated in the week-long Outward Trade and Investment Mission to Uganda returned home with glee because of the trade leads that they generated and the deals that they secured in the East African country. The mission was funded by the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) in an effort to boost trade and investment between South Africa and Uganda. Uganda business opportunities are on the rise and South Africa is definitely ready for the business.

Almost all the business people said they were planning to return to Uganda in the near future to sign the deals that they managed to negotiate and to follow up on the trade leads that they generated mainly in the agro-processing, energy, infrastructure and furniture sectors.
The Marketing Manager of La Ric Mal Wines, Mr Malcom Green was happy that he successfully negotiated a deal which will see his wines making their way to the shelves of all five Shoprite stores in Uganda.
"It was really a successful mission for us. The deal would not have come at a more opportune time as we are planning to expand our export market to East Africa. Our presence in Uganda will enable us to use it as a base to establish our footprint in other countries in the region," said Green.

The owner of Aquaculture Innovations, Mr Leslie Ter Morshuizen said he had a target of one lead which would result in his company building a fish farm in Uganda. But he returned with numerous leads that would end up in his company building several fish farms in Uganda.
"I also managed to get a number of other clients who were interested in our equipment and training services," said Ter Morshuizen.
The Chief Executive Officer of Grandstage Trading, Ms Christine Masaiti said she would be getting down to serious work to follow up on the seven trade leads that she established and to service two orders worth thousands of dollars that she received.
The Director of Basil's Business Opportunities, Mr Basil Phupha was overwhelmed by the opportunities for the supply of agro-processing equipment that he identified in Uganda.
"Agriculture is the heart of the Ugandan economy. I have identified quite an astonishing number of opportunities where our agro-processing equipment is required. I am confident that the trade leads that I managed to generate there will become concrete deals soon," said Phupha.

The CEO of Bridge of Hope Wines, Ms Rosemary Mosia, who hosted a wine-tasting session at the premises of a Ugandan businesswoman who is importing her wines to Uganda, said she was planning to invest in a bottling plant in Kampala.
"We started exporting our wines to Uganda early this year and they have received a warm reception from the Ugandan wine consumers. The feedback I received on the ground from my importer and the wine lovers themselves is positive. The product is also doing well on the shelves and this will require that we increase our stock. I think that provides us with an opportunity to consider setting up a bottling plant in Kampala in order to export the wine in bulk and bottle it in Uganda," said Mosia.

The leader of the South African delegation, Ms Kwanda Modise, who is the Director of Export Promotion at the dti, said she was inspired by the companies' feedback on the mission.
"As a department, we have a mandate to increase intra-Africa trade and investment across the continent. The investment and trade missions are part of our efforts to achieve this objective. We take companies to various markets where they can identify opportunities to establish partnerships and joint ventures to explore trade and investment opportunities in those countries. The feedback we received from companies that participated in the Ugandan mission was extremely positive and justifies a return to the country with another mission in the next financial year," said Modise.
She added that one of the companies had identified an opportunity to invest in a timber electrical pole manufacturing facility in Uganda, while another identified a possible joint-venture for the manufacture and regional supply of school furniture there.
The mission programme included a well-attended and successful Business Seminar at the Sheraton Hotel hosted by the South African High Commission in Kampala

The United States officially announces one of the most important disarmament agreement with Russia, and thus fears of a nuclear armament in Europe triggered. Until the INF Treaty for the renunciation of nuclear medium distance weapon finally expires, will remain, but – at least theoretically – up to six months time for a possible settlement of the dispute. US President, Donald Trump, and foreign Minister Mike Pompeo announced on Friday in Washington, the United States felt from this Saturday in the obligations of the Treaty (read more here).

UK Indie Film Spotlight Launch: London To Brighton (2006) by @SteelMillPaul
FromPage2Screen / September 5, 2012
As I mentioned in a previous article. I aim to shine some (more) light on films made in the United Kingdom. For more than one reason
(1) I live in the UK.
(2)These films whilst have had a lot of attention, definitely deserve more attention and shouldn't be hidden under the piles of Hollywood projects that are out there.
These films are not in any specific order, so dont start thinking that its a Top Ten of any kind. All movies are different and I am never a fan of ranking them against each other (although I might do a Top Ten at the end of the year. Who knows)
The first film that I ve chosen to shine a light on is a film that I first saw back in 2007. Im not sure what caused me to purchase the DVD. at that time I hadnt heard of the cast, the creator or the title itself. But for whatever reason I bought the DVD and the film has remained in my collection for the past five years.
That film is called: London to Brighton.
London To Brighton starts with a woman (Kelly, played by Lorraine Stanley) & an eleven year old child (Joanne, played by Georgia Groome) bursting into a public toilet cubicle. Joanne is crying her eyes out and Kelly has one hell of a black eye.
Kelly eventually gets them both on a train to Brighton and this is where we are very aware they are on the run from someone
With some scenes told in flashback, we learn more about why Kelly & Joanne are on the run, who from, and how they met in the first place.
This is the sort of film where I am reluctant to divulge too much of the storyline as half of the films power is in the films unfolding of the story of Joanne and Kelly.
However I will say that the film is incredibly powerful and there are some scenes that might disturb. But that is the point of the scenes. It can be an uncomfortable film to watch but there is nothing in this film that isnt possible.
This was writer/director Paul Andrew Williams feature film debut and what an amazing debut it was. After having worked on short films previous to London To Brighton, Paul has thankfully carried on working extremely hard on his subsequent projects, including Cherry Tree Lane & The Cottage) But this article is to focus yo on London to Brighton, a film that needs to be watched by anyone wishing to see some of the best films that the UK has to offer.
I cant praise if highly enough, and the lead performances are perfection. Its with a great privilege that I begin shining light on UK films with this project.

Make a worm bin for a great small-space composting setup that will yield free, nutrient-rich compost for your garden.
The essential guide to becoming a producer instead of a consumer, "Making It" is full of simple, ingenious projects for your home, your garden, and even your fire escape.
Worms can handle a good deal of your day-to-day food waste — such as coffee grounds, wilted lettuce, stale bread and so on.
Worms eat kitchen scraps and create worm castings, which are a valuable soil amendment and plant tonic. Though castings are often called fertilizer, they're actually not very high in nitrogen, but they are full of plant-supporting nutrients.
Sprinkle castings on potted plants and over garden beds. A little goes a long way. A handful can go into the bottom of a planting hole to get a plant off to a good start. Unlike nitrogen-rich fertilizers, worm castings won't burn the plant's roots. They can also be mixed with potting soil, in concentrations of up to 20 percent castings, to make an extra-rich growing medium.
Here's what you should know before you start: A worm bin is a supplement to a compost pile, not a replacement for one. Worms don't consume indiscriminately the way a compost pile does, and they can only eat so much at a time. But, as we said above, castings are a fantastic resource, so it's well worth keeping both a worm bin and a compost bin. That said, a worm bin makes a fine green-waste disposal system for an apartment dweller. If you don't have yard trimmings to worry about, worms can handle a good deal of your day-to-day food waste — such as coffee grounds, wilted lettuce, stale bread and so on — and give you castings in return that you can apply to container plants.
Worm bins are best kept indoors. Worms thrive in temperatures between 50 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and those conditions are usually found in the cool parts of a house instead of outdoors. During hot summers, worms dig down deep to keep cool. They can't do that in a worm bin, which will heat up to ambient summer temperatures. In winter, freezing cold will kill them, too. Of course, it all depends on your climate and situation. If you have cold winters and mild summers, the worms could spend the summer outdoors and the winter indoors. Or in the opposite situation, they could come in for hot summers and stay out for mild winters. You can also take steps to keep the bin's temperatures reasonable, such as insulating it. Just remember that when temperatures are extreme, worms are unhappy.
While you can buy worms from online suppliers, it's more fun to get them from a friend who keeps worms or to hunt them in your own garden. Worms from a friend are truly local and already well-adapted to life in a worm bin. In addition, they've not undergone travel stress. Mail-order worms are understandably freaked out on arrival (as freaked out as worms can be) and will often try to escape from the bin their first few nights before they've calmed down.
It's most satisfying to hunt worms in your garden. The worms you want aren't the big, fat night crawlers; they're the smaller red or purplish worms that live close to the surface of the soil, usually in leaf litter or in cool compost. They are most populous in spring and fall and can be hard to find in summer and winter. Make a trap for them by burying something tasty in your garden beds or in an area rich with leaf litter. Worms adore squash. It draws them like a magnet. You could also use leftover oatmeal or wet bread. Bury these offerings about an inch under the soil or leaf litter and come back in about three days. More than likely, you'll find some worms bellied up to the bar. Scoop them up and take them to their new home.
Worms are hermaphrodites, so they're not picky about mates. They breed at a rate that puts rabbits to shame. If you're willing to be patient, you only need to hunt up about a cup of them to get started. If you buy them, you'll buy a full pound — that's usually the minimum amount on offer. Whichever way you go, it all works. More worms eat more scraps and make more castings. If you start with lots of worms, the bin will be productive faster. If you start with only a handful of worms, they'll start breeding as soon as they settle into their new home, and you'll be up to speed in a couple of months.
Red worms (Lubricous rubellas) are the worms you most often find in leaf litter and garden beds, but they also hang out in compost piles. Compost worms (Eugenia fetid) are about the same size and can be red, too, but they also come in purple and tiger-striped varieties. These are true compost worms whose preferred habitats are compost and manure piles. Eugenia fetid is the type sold for worm bins, but Lubricous rubellas adapt to life in the bin very well.
Although you can buy or build elaborate multilevel worm composting systems, we've come to believe less is more when it comes to worms. A simple container is all you really need.
Using the drill or the sharp nail and a hammer (the latter is much more difficult — use a drill if you can), create two rows of ventilation holes around the top edge of the bin, starting beneath the lid. Space the holes about 3 or 4 inches apart. The exact size of the holes doesn't matter much, but they should be 1/4 inch or less in diameter. To make sure the bin doesn't leak and can be kept anywhere, don't put any holes in the bottom of the container. Lack of bottom drainage means you'll have to be vigilant to make sure the contents don't get too soggy, because there's nowhere for water to go.
Shred newspaper into fine strips. Use plain newspaper, not shiny inserts, which may contain harmful dyes, and not office paper, which has been bleached. If you have a paper shredder, run the newspaper through that, because the finer the paper shreds, the better. Otherwise, rip the paper into strips. While you're at it, rip up some plain corrugated cardboard, too, if you have it. It must be bare cardboard, not paper coated, because again, that paper may contain bleaches or inks. It's easier to rip up cardboard that has been soaked in water first. Worms really like corrugated cardboard — they snuggle up in the channels, so tear it into worm-size chunks roughly 4 inches square.
Wet the newspaper strips by placing them in a bowl or bucket and drizzling water over them and stirring until they're all equally damp. Add the shreds to the worm bin by the handful, squeezing them first to make sure they're damp, not sodden. The ideal consistency is that of a wrung-out sponge. You don't ever want to have standing water in the worm bin.
After you've added about 4 to 6 inches of newspaper to the bin, add the cardboard pieces and about 2 cups of soil. The soil adds grit to the mix, which helps with the worm's digestion. Toss it all together to mix it. Add the worms. Put a little paper over them right away, because they don't like the light.
Theoretically, worms can eat their weight in food scraps each day, but in practice, the amount they eat is highly variable. One factor is newness. A new bin doesn't eat nearly as much as an established bin, no matter how many worms you start with. It may take a few months for a bin to hit its stride and become an eating machine. In the meantime, don't overfeed. If you add more food than the worms can handle, it will lead to bad smells and possible invasions by undesirable insects.
Start off with just a cup of scraps on the first day. See "What to Feed Worms," below, for suggestions. Bury the scraps in one corner of the bin and cover it with about an inch of newspaper. The worms will find the food. After a couple of days, add another cup of scraps in another corner. Proceed cautiously, even if you have lots of worms, because they may not want to eat much at first. Develop an intuition for what is enough and what is too much. While it's important to feed them plenty if you want them to breed, don't worry much about them going hungry. If they get hungry between feedings, they'll eat the newspaper. Eventually, they'll eat everything in the bin. All of the newspaper, cardboard and food scraps will be reduced to black gold: worm castings.
Worms aren't hamsters. They don't rush to nibble your fresh offerings. Instead, they work in concert with fungi and bacteria to break down rotten food. If it's not rotting, they're not interested. That's why it usually takes a couple of days before they approach new food. Overall, they prefer soft food, such as oatmeal and squash, to hard food, such as carrots. Of course, even carrots will rot eventually, and the worms will get to them then. Don't put large chunks of food in a worm bin. Take a moment to rip or cut food scraps into small pieces to speed decomposition.
Worms don't eat vegetable seeds. Nature designed seeds so that they don't break down easily. More often than not, the seeds will end up mixed in with the castings and thus could sprout wherever you spread the castings. If this concerns you, separate out seeds before you give food to the worms. Send seeds to the compost pile instead.
Put the bin in a safe, quiet place out of direct sunlight, otherwise the sun will shine through the plastic walls and irritate the worms. Wherever you stow the bin, be sure the temperatures are moderate. Keep the lid on tight if you have dogs in the house — canines don't have discriminating palates. Our dog once nosed off the lid on our worm bin and ate half of the contents before we stopped him. We don't know whether he was more interested in the worms or the rotten food, but he swallowed it all. If your bin is outside, lock down the lid with a bungee cord to keep raccoons and skunks and other insectivores out at night. And heaven help you if a wandering chicken ever came across your open worm bin!
Aim to keep the contents of the bin always at that magic consistency: moist as a wrung-out sponge. In the first few weeks, you may have to use a spray bottle to mist the paper to keep it from drying out. Worm castings hold water, so when they appear, the bin will stay wet on its own. Your challenge then becomes keeping it dry enough. It's important that it stay a damp, airy environment. If it seems to be getting soggy and dense, mix in a few handfuls of dry shredded newspaper to dry it out and fluff it up. If lots of worms are hanging out on the sides or lid of the bin — or trying to wiggle out the air holes — it's definitely too wet.
Note: Keeping the lid on the bin keeps out the light and also keeps out flies. However, it holds in a lot of moisture. If you're having trouble keeping the bin dry enough, you could cut a window out of the lid, and then use duct tape to secure a piece of window screen over the hole. That way, you have both air and protection. If you do this, keep the bin in a dim place for the worms' sake.
The deeper the contents of the bin, the greater the danger of the bottom portion of the bin turning swampy and anaerobic. To prevent that, don't let the contents of the bin get too deep. Keep the depth of the contents between 6 and 8 inches and you should be fine. If you have a ton of worms and 6 to 8 inches doesn't seem like enough room, it's time to start a second bin, give your extra worms to friends who want to start their own bins, or feed some spares to your chickens. You could also distribute a few handfuls in a cool compost pile.
Don't be afraid to dig around in the bin every so often to make sure all is well. Check regularly to be sure there's never any standing water in the bottom of the bin. Bad smells will ensue, and worms will die. If all is well, eventually you should see tiny baby worms in the mix, as well as the little lemon-shaped beads that are worm cocoons. These are good signs. Your worms are happy and breeding. As your bin matures, you may find that other critters — decomposers such as mites, pot worms and tiny black beetles — will make it their home as well. This is nothing to worry about. They're all doing the same work, and the worms don't mind the company.
Before you go on vacation, feed the worms well and add fresh bedding. They'll be fine for a couple of weeks.
When the contents of the bin start looking more black than anything else, it's time to harvest some castings. This will probably happen about two months after you start the bin. The simplest way is to stop adding fresh food for a while and let the worms finish up the little scraps and bits dotting the bin. When there's not much recognizable food in the bin, put a big portion of something delicious — a proven favorite such as squash — at one end of the bin. The worms will migrate that direction. Wait a few days, then scoop out the material on the opposite side of the bin and pile it on the bin lid. Do this during the day or under bright lights. Form the pile into a pyramid or cone shape. There will still be worms in the mix, and they'll dive down to the bottom center of the mound to hide from the light. You can then harvest the castings from the top and sides of the mound and transfer them to a bucket or bowl. Return the worms hiding at the bottom of the pile to the bin.
Add fresh wet newspaper and soil to the bin, just as you did at the beginning, to rebuild after harvest. Mix this material with the remaining material and start feeding normally again.
Freshly harvested worm castings are very wet. Spread them out on a tray and let them air-dry for a few days, and then sift them through a screen or colander. This will catch any remaining food scraps and give the castings a nice granular texture that's easy to spread. Store them in a bag or covered container.
One excellent use of castings is in a liquid plant tonic. Put 1 pint of castings in a bucket. Add a gallon of warm water and a spoonful of molasses. Stir this well, and stir it frequently over the course of 24 to 48 hours. Dilute the resulting liquid at the ratio of 1 part tea to 4 parts water and use it to water container plants and fruit trees. You can use it in your vegetable beds, but they should already be well nourished by compost and thus don't need it as much. It's best to use all of your worm tea in a week or so.

Little bit of an error here--actually a fatal error. Most worms living in the soil are NOT the kind that process garbage in a worm bin, unless your soil is amazingly rich in composted organic material. You need special worms: red wigglers (Eisenia fetida) and/or redworms (Lumbricus rubellus). You can often find local suppliers, but getting from (reputable) suppliers on the internet is fine--just be sure you have your bin ready when they arrive.

I took a little long emptying my kitchen waste bucket, and got a TON of maggots, which turned into really big whitish worm crawler things in the worm bin, I'm guessing from flies. Wondering if these crawler worms overcompete with my redworms and if I should toss out this batch?
Great article. Food waste is the most simple and easiest way for any one who eats to start being a more responsible human being. Worm composting can be done outdoors as well in colder regions and I advise many folks to do worm composting indoors cold season, then outdoors in warmer months. You can round worms up in the Fall and put them back in your indoor bin. Multiple tier stackable systems can be made for outdoor use from 2" x 8" up to 2"x12" wood. Make the frames so they interlock as you stack them. Place a piece of hardware cloth underneath to deter mice and critters from burrowing under. Once top frame is full, place another piece of hardwarte cloth on the ground next to existing system, move top frame onto screen. Move worms from top section to lower frame on ground and start all over. You can now harvest casting. Check out www.wormkits.com they have easy , proven kits to make indoor units.


Based on the Marvel Comics series Old Man Logan, Logan, the latest film in the X-Men series which opens this Friday, begins in media res when thugs carjack Logan's limo. As the guys attempt to change a flat tire, Logan (Hugh Jackman) awakens in the back seat and confronts them.
While Logan might be reduced to wearing a shabby suit as a driver for hire, he still possesses a sardonic sense of humor. "You're going to scratch the chrome lug nuts," he tells the men. They don't think he's funny and try to take him down, popping a cap in his chest and hitting him upside the head with a crowbar. Though not as fierce as his former self, Logan still has regenerative powers and he still has a sharp set of claws too. When the blades come out, the guys don't stand a chance.
A bit banged up, Logan slouches back in his limo and returns to the remote desert hideaway occupied by Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Caliban (Stephen Merchant). There, Caliban struggles to take care of Charles, who suffers from migraines that set off earthquake-like tremors. The film's dark opening scene sets the tone for this somber movie, a striking meditation on what happens when superheroes get old and approach their inevitable deaths.
Logan's plan to buy a boat so that he and Charles can disappear hits a snag when a woman (Elizabeth Rodriquez) asks for his help with Laura (Dafne Keen), a mutant who, like Logan, possesses a set of sharp blades and unbelievably quick reflexes. And like Logan, she's got one helluva temper too. Logan agrees to transport her to South Dakota where she plans to meet a group of refugee mutants who've escaped from the same lab where she was created. Unprepared to take on dad-like duties, Logan struggles to keep the child's killer tendencies in check. The two must work together to combat Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook), a former elite member of the Hellfire Club who leads the Reavers, a militant group of genetically modified mutant cyborgs.
Intended to be Jackman's final portrayal of the character after having played the role for 17 years, the ultra-violent film sends Jackman out on a high note. Director James Mangold (Walk the Line, The Wolverine), who co-wrote the screenplay with assistance from Scott Frank and Michael Green, provides Jackman with the opportunity to show off his acting chops and develop the character fully and completely.

New migraine results for both Allergan and Novartis
George Underwood
Allergan has announced new head-to-head data from an open label study in chronic migraine demonstrating that Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) had a more favourable tolerability profile than Topamax (topiramate).
Of patients randomised to receive topiramate, 50.7% of patients discontinued treatment due to adverse events, compared to 3.6% of patients randomised to receive onabotulinumtoxinA.
Findings also show a significantly higher number of patients reported at least a 50% reduction in headache frequency when treated with onabotulinumtoxinA, compared to those treated with topiramate (40.0% vs 12.0%).
Meanwhile, Novartis announced new analyses for its AMG 334 (erenumab) for migraine prevention.
Analysis from a pivotal Phase II study shows erenumab reduced monthly migraine days in patients with chronic migraine for whom previous preventive treatments have failed.
In a pre-specified sub-analysis from the study, erenumab showed benefits even in people with chronic migraine who have tried and failed on two or more preventive treatments in the past. In these patients, erenumab cut the average number of migraine days by at least five days and up to a week per month, depending on treatment dose. Furthermore, this group also had three to four times higher odds of having their migraine days cut by 50% or more compared to placebo.
Erenumab is the first and only fully human monoclonal antibody designed to prevent migraine by targeting and blocking the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, believed to play a critical role in mediating the incapacitating pain of migraine.

North East Solicitors Apprenticeship shortlisted for national award
The North East Solicitors Apprenticeship (NESA) programme has been shortlisted at the British Legal Awards 2017, during the ground-breaking scheme's maiden year.
NESA has been shortlisted alongside seven law firms in the 'Legal Services Innovation' category at the national awards, after creating the first regional solicitor apprenticeship consortium where law firms have worked together.
Working with other law firms
Muckle LLP, Sintons Law, McDaniel & Co, QualitySolicitors Smith Roddam, Womble Bond Dickinson and North Tyneside Council have joined forces with CILEx Law School and City, University of London, to deliver the six-year apprenticeship programme.
13 successful candidates were appointed across the six legal practices within NESA and began their apprenticeships in September 2017. During the six-year scheme, the apprentices will obtain a law degree and the postgraduate qualification and work experience required for admission as a solicitor.
For the organisations involved, NESA presents a brand new opportunity to recruit and nurture fresh talent from an untapped pool of aspiring lawyers. For the legal profession, it means that skillful people are not lost to other sectors purely because of the cost of university education. Individuals who choose the apprenticeship route earn while they learn and qualify as a solicitor without having to pay huge tuition fees.
The 2017 awards, hosted by Legal Week in association with The City of London Law Society, will be announced at a special ceremony on Thursday, November 30th in Finsbury Square, London. They will mark the culmination of organiser Legal Week's new two-day event LegalWeek CONNECT.
More than 1,000 lawyers from across the country are expected to attend the event celebrating the cream of the UK's legal community. View all the finalists here.
Our managing partner, Jason Wainwright, said: "Through NESA we are creating opportunities to enter our profession, even if university is not an option for some people, and we are delighted that the consortium has been recognised at these national awards. The North East is proof that solicitor apprenticeships are possible for practices of all sizes and we are immensely proud to be at the forefront of developing regional talent."

It might surprise you to learn that medical negligence is now the third-leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer.

Sliming a Famous Muckraker: The Untold Story
Greg Mitchell January 30, 2006
By: Greg Mitchell
This is the story of a recent Los Angeles Times ?scoop? that was error-ridden and misleading and resulted in a hysterical rightwing attack, led by Jonah Goldberg, on a famed author nearly 40 years after his passing.
It all began a little over a month ago, on Dec. 24, with an article in the metro section of the L.A. Times by Orange County reporter Jean O. Pasco, headlined, ?Sinclair Letter Turns Out to be Another Expose.? It revealed that a Newport Beach attorney named Paul Hegness had finally gotten around to exploring the contents of a box of dusty old papers sitting in a closet that he had purchased at an Irvine auction for $100.
A letter postmarked Sept. 12, 1929, caught his eye. It was addressed to lawyer John Beardsley. The return address read: Upton Sinclair, Long Beach.
Sinclair, of course, was one of the original muckrakers, a Pulitzer Prize winner, famed author of dozens of novels including ?The Jungle?–which sparked overdue reform in the food industry?and a tireless activist. As author of a 600-page book about his nearly-successful 1934 campaign for governor of California, I know a thing or two about the man, one of the most fascinating, if often maddening, figures of the 20th century. I?m even familiar with Beardsley.
So what did the 1929 letter contain that was so interesting that it warranted a 1200-word Los Angeles Times report and the attentions of syndicated columnist Jonah Goldberg?
In it Sinclair informed his lawyer that he had met with Fred Moore, identified by Pasco as attorney for the legendary anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who were executed in 1927 for killing two men during a robbery in Braintree, Mass. Their trial and execution drew worldwide protests, mainly from the left side of the dial. Sinclair would write an epic novel based on the case called ?Boston,? one of his best-known and well-regarded books.
Alone in a hotel room with the lawyer, "I begged him to tell me the full truth,? Sinclair wrote in the 1929 letter. Moore ?then told me that the men were guilty, and he told me in every detail how he had framed a set of alibis for them.?
The last paragraph of the note read: ?This letter is for yourself alone. Stick it away in your safe, and some time in the distant future the world may know the real truth about the matter. I am here trying to make plain my own part in the story.?
The Pasco article strongly suggests that Sinclair was a hypocrite and liar, for he went on choosing to believe that Sacco and Vanzetti were railroaded, wrote a novel mocking the trial, and supposedly never told anyone about the chat with Fred Moore. The article calls Sinclair?s letter a ?confession? and later ?a confessional.?
Strong stuff. But right after publication, one warning flag appeared: The Times had to run a correction for three fairly small errors in the story. It didn?t take long, however, for conservative writers to jump on the ?revelation.?
A California assemblyman named Chuck DeVore declared in Human Events magazine that the Pasco piece ?lays bares Sinclair?s true role in promoting left-wing myths in America.? He urged readers to think of this the next time they ?see the heirs to this shameful legacy with their banners and bumper stickers trying to break our resolve in the face of evil.?
But leave it to Jonah Goldberg, writing in his syndicated column (and at National Review Online), to tie the Sinclair letter to George Clooney.
Goldberg opened his Jan. 5 column by citing a recent quote from Clooney, in which the actor said he didn?t know any time in history that liberals stood on ?the wrong side of social issues.? Now that Goldberg had read the Sinclair story, he was ready to ridicule this notion.
He declared that the article revealed that Sinclair ?knew? Sacco and Vanzetti were guilty ? their lawyer had told him the ?unvarnished truth? — and then ?quite simply, lied? about it to sell books and protect the leftwing movement.
The Sacco and Vanzetti episode, of course, was just one in a long line of misguided liberal causes, Goldberg added, from defending Alger Hiss to declaring that Matthew Shepard was killed because he was gay (rather than being ?a drug addict caught up with other drug addicts?). Now George Clooney has ?unilaterally beatified? Edward R. Murrow, when the fact is, Murrow ?was just another journalist.?
Fear not, Jonah does get around to mentioning, inevitably, Hillary Clinton, citing her youthful offer to help a lawyer for the Black Panthers.
Even when liberals know they are on shaky ground, their view, according to Goldberg, is: ?It matters not. Print the legend.? That?s why it?s hard to find a liberal ?martyr-saint? who has not been ?burnished by deceit.? It seems that when they reach ?icon status, the facts get inconvenient.?
Well, the facts prove a bit inconvenient for Goldberg and Pasco, as well (even beyond the corrected errors in the original L.A. Times piece).
For one thing, Goldberg claims that it was Sinclair?s ?The Jungle? that provoked Theodore Roosevelt to coin the term ?muckraker.? Sorry, it was a series of 1906 magazine articles by David Graham Philips.
More critically: Pasco describes Moore as ?the men?s lawyer? (meaning Sacco and Vanzetti). In fact, when he met with Sinclair, he was their former lawyer?fired over key disputes on how to handle the case. Goldberg repeats this error. Would this make Moore, perhaps, more likely to turn on the men?
Next, the whole Sinclair-Moore conversation is hardly a scoop. It is recounted, for example, in the main Sinclair biography to date, ?Upton Sinclair: American Rebel,? by Leon Harris, published in 1975. That book finds Sinclair– mirroring the newly-found letter– telling a correspondent precisely what Moore said in that same 1929 meeting. He asks leftwing writer Robert Minor to keep the Moore charges quiet for the time being as he wants to finish his novel and he feared there was a real possibility ?that some anarchist might think it is his duty to keep me from finishing the book.?
Now, getting to the real meat of the matter: Last Thursday, a Reuters article by Arthur Spiegelman appeared. He took the trouble to consider Sinclair?s entire letter?which, it turns out, was three pages long, typed. Pasco either didn?t see the whole thing, or looked at it and chose to ignore key parts of it (or her editor deleted it). Spiegelman, also unlike Pasco and Goldberg, explored how Sinclair actually portrayed the Sacco and Vanzetti case in ?Boston.? Did he indeed ?lie? about what Moore told him, or make proper use of it in a popular novel?
Spiegelman wrote that Goldberg ?might have been better served if he had read the entire letter instead of the excerpts printed in the Times.? In a copy of the full letter made available to Reuters, Sinclair explains that soon after he talked to Moore he began to have doubts about him: "I realized certain facts about Fred Moore. I had heard that he was using drugs. I knew that he had parted from the defense committee after the bitterest of quarrels. … Moore admitted to me that the men themselves had never admitted their guilt to him; and I began to wonder whether his present attitude and conclusions might not be the result of his brooding on his wrongs."
Sinclair had even questioned Moore's former wife, who worked with the lawyer on the case, and she "expressed the greatest surprise" saying he had not expressed thoughts that the men were guilty before. All left out of the Pasco, and Goldberg, articles.
In the letter, he also vowed his novel "Boston" would tell all sides, focusing not on the question of innocence but the lack of a fair trial?putting him on very firm ground in that pursuit, most historians agree. The two anarchists may, indeed, have been guilty– but the trial was an outrage.
Further, Anthony Arthur, whose new biography of Sinclair will be published this June, provided excerpts from the book to Spiegelman. They show that in other letters, Sinclair quotes Moore as not even being sure both men were guilty. "Moore said neither man ever admitted it to him,? Arthur writes.
In other words, it was only Moore?s opinion: hardly the ?unvarnished truth,? as Goldberg presents it. Yet Goldberg charged that Sinclair ?knew? that the pair were guilty and ?quite simply, lied.?
And, finally, what about the charge that Sinclair ignored Moore?s insights to save his lefty cred? In fact, ?Boston? is a nuanced novel (rare for Sinclair) that introduces many reasons to question the defendant?s innocence, and focuses on the question of the trial itself and the evils of the death penalty. In the same letter to Robert Minor, Sinclair explained that despite the troubling views expressed by Moore?and other debunkers–he could still write the novel ?on the basis of certainty that they did not have a fair trial.?
In the end, the heroine of his novel was patterned on himself: believing in the pair's innocence at the beginning and ending not knowing quite what to believe.
Arthur, the biographer, told Spiegelman that Sinclair's decision to end "Boston" on a note of ambiguity concerning Sacco and Vanzetti's guilt subjected him to "a torrent of abuse from the left." It came from Communists, anarchists and others on the left?in other words, the kind of people Jonah Goldberg loves to target. Robert Minor called Sinclair ?a hired liar, a coward and a traitor.?
Once blasted by the left for his handling of the case, Spiegelman concludes, ?Now he is being hit from the right.? In each case, unjustly.

A new Web site helps franchisors and franchisees find services and business solutions.
Devlin Smith
Sixteen years of experience as a franchise executive and consultant brought Kevin Rooney to one conclusion: All franchises face the same problems and would benefit from the same solutions if they had access to them. Rooney wanted to provide that access, and so he founded Annapolis, Maryland-based FranchiseMaster Technologies Inc. last year to make his concept a reality.
"My vision was, if we all have the same problems and operate under this unique franchise business model, I can build the platform for the franchise companies and franchise companies can access it through me," Rooney says. "In turn, they can use my support systems for their franchise owners."
That access point is FranchiseMaster.com, which Rooney unveiled at the International Franchise Association conference in February. On the site, franchise companies and franchise owners from preregistered companies receive solutions from more than 60 companies in areas like operations, accounting and finance, real estate and communication.
After a company consults with FranchiseMaster, its corporate employees and franchisees are allowed to enter the site. (Nonfranchisees can also access the site after registering.) Different "neighborhoods" are set up for franchisors and franchisees. From these neighborhoods, visitors can click through to find solutions for finance issues like budget planning or real estate questions about site selection. FranchiseMaster assesses fees for any services used, and franchisees and franchisors typically pay cheaper rates than other visitors to the site.
About 280 franchises and 74,000 franchisees are currently pre-registered to use FranchiseMaster.com.
Though the site won't launch until sometime this month, Rooney is already plotting FranchiseMaster.com's expansion. He'd like to offer franchise companies a forum for holding meetings, providing training and communicating with franchisees through the site.
"The goal of our company and the product is to provide efficiencies, communication and productivity to franchise companies and franchise owners," Rooney says. "They can access whatever they need and use whatever they need."

Formed from a single continuous wire, instead of welded loops, to increase overall strength. Premium baskets are so strong they can be moved with chains hooked to the basket. (Generally not an acceptable method with other basket manufacturers.) Carefully designed for a tailored fit for many of today's tree spades, which reduces the amount of crimping, saving time and ensuring a good-fitting basket.
Malleable wire allows for pigtail crimps which stay in place, keeping a neat, tight rootball for the final destination. Wire is top quality, no seconds, and no sacrifices. Produced from only the best galvanized wire available; you can rely on the quality. Custom Baskets use a slightly lighter gauge wire for a cost advantage, but maintain overall basket performance.
Premium basket wire gauges: premium 11-gauge for 14-22 inches; 10+ gauge for 24-28 inches; 9-gauge for 30-34 inches; 8-gauge for 36-40 inches. Custom basket wire gauges: 12-gauge for 18-22 inches; 11-gauge for 24 inches; 10-gauge for 28-32 inches. Sold by the bundle.

Jonathan W. Feldman
Adjunct Professor of Law
jwf39@cornell.edu

scp88@cornell.edu
230 Hughes Hall
The Honorable Jonathan W. Feldman has been a United States Magistrate Judge in the Western District of New York since 1995. After graduating from Syracuse College of Law in 1981, Judge Feldman served as a law clerk to United States District Court Judge Michael A. Telesca. Following his clerkship, Judge Feldman served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Western District of New York litigating both civil and criminal cases at trial and on appeal. In 1987, Judge Feldman and another federal prosecutor opened the law firm of Geraci & Feldman, a litigation practice that handled both state and federal trials and appeals. In 1992 the Judges of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals appointed Judge Feldman as the first Federal Public Defender for the Western District of New York, a position he held until 1995 when he was appointed to the federal bench.
Throughout his legal career, Judge Feldman has been actively involved in legal and judicial education. He has been a featured speaker in many local, state, national and foreign legal education seminars and programs. In 2000, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist appointed Judge Feldman to the Magistrate Judge Education Committee and then as Chair of the Committee in 2005. In 2012, Chief Justice John Roberts appointed Judge Feldman to the Board of the Federal Judicial Center, the education and research agency of the judicial branch. For over a decade Judge Feldman served as the primary instructor of federal criminal practice and procedure for new magistrate judge training at Federal Judicial Center training programs.
Judge Feldman has long been active in efforts to ensure that individuals unable to afford counsel receive the highest level of criminal defense services pursuant to the Sixth Amendment. In 2009 Chief Justice John Roberts appointed Judge Feldman to the Judicial Conference Committee on Defender Services, the governing body for the Federal Public Defender program and the Criminal Justice Act (CJA). In 2016 Judge Feldman was invited to testify before the Ad Hoc Committee to Review the Criminal Justice Act Program, a committee created by Chief Justice Roberts to conduct a comprehensive and impartial review of the CJA Act.
Drawing upon his experience teaching federal judges and practitioners, Judge Feldman has been teaching Federal Criminal Practice at Cornell Law School since 2013. The course is not a traditional law school course. There is no casebook; all the materials utilized in the course are from or based on charging documents, pleadings, discovery materials and transcripts from recent federal court proceedings. The course is interactive and practical. Students engage in oral advocacy exercises based on actual cases and participate in lively case related discussions intended to enhance their legal reasoning and persuasive advocacy skills. The course also utilizes guest speakers, including federal prosecutors, federal public defenders and private defense counsel. During the semester, there is an optional trip to Federal Court in Rochester for an interactive presentation by a computer forensic expert on the growing use of technology in the investigation, prosecution and defense of criminal charges.

NTU bursary winner to launch solo show at Lakeside Arts Centre

While in his final year on our BA (Hons) Photography course, Tom Illsley was announced as the winner of a bursary sponsored by Genesis Imaging. He was awarded £1,000 and a solo exhibition at Nottingham Lakeside Art Centre.
Genesis Imaging is a leading supplier of photographic printing, professional mounting and bespoke framing service. The company is a long-standing supporter of NTU's BA (Hons) Photography course and offer help with production, advice and mentoring to our students.
Tom was awarded the bursary for his Degree Show work, a series called Meridian which explored geographical centre points throughout Great Britain. The award has enabled Tom to further develop his practice and given him the opportunity to exhibit his work at Nottingham Lakeside Arts Centre in April - May 2016.
Being awarded this bursary has given me confidence in my own work and abilities to continue growing as a photographic artist.
Tom Illsley
Tom explained the concept behind his work, saying: "Meridian is a photographic project exploring geographical centre points and the surrounding land throughout Great Britain. Through deeper research I discovered that in 2002 Ordnance Survey carried out an investigation into geographical centre points of the United Kingdom, using the method of centrography. This factual information inspired me to document these previous non-descript areas of land and to explore whether they hold a deeper contextual meaning.
"The work I have created for the 2016 exhibition is a photographic documentation of the geographical centres of England, Wales and Scotland."
Genesis Imaging commented: "Tom's dedication to his work and his considered investigation of the British landscape made him a strong candidate for the bursary awards from the moment we met at the discussion sessions that we offer students to offer feedback on their work and aid in its progression. Meridian was a clear choice to support through this bursary and we very much look forward with seeing how the series progresses and is presented at Lakeside Arts Centre."
Tom told us: "Being awarded this bursary has given me confidence in my own work and abilities to continue growing as a photographic artist. I knew that the work I was producing at NTU was good and I was very happy with it, but having that confirmed by industry professionals is incredible."
You can see Tom's solo exhibition at Nottingham Lakeside Arts Centre between Saturday 9 April and Sunday 15 May 2016.

A 'skolion' (originally a Greek word) is a drinking song where the cup is passed around from drinker to drinker. This is pleasant cheery music in B flat major with a hearty vocal line. John Reed has noticed that Schubert songs written in this key have a certain rhythmic energy and impetus. Skolie is a little ditty which achieves its bracing energy through the semiquavers of the left hand which bustle and weave in impressive fashion and suggest the heightened vivacity induced by the consumption of alcohol. The whole of this miniature recalls the Beethoven of Die Wut über den verlornen Groschen ('Rage over a lost penny'), a piano piece which displays a similar combination of what Reed calls the 'vernacular style' in its melody, and a sophisticated pianistic ingenuity in its depiction of the commotion of the crowd.

*MINNEAPOLIS – *There was a little extra Purple in Minneapolis over the weekend.
One hundred former Vikings returned to their old stomping grounds to reunite and reminisce with teammates during the Vikings Legends Reunion Weekend.
A marquee piece of the three-day event took place on Friday night, when former wide receiver Ahmad Rashad received his Purple jacket as part of his induction to the Vikings Ring of Honor.
"To see somebody that you came in with, somebody you played with and somebody who put in the work every day – he's been to several Pro Bowls – be honored, I'm just glad that I'm here to support him tonight," said Sammy White (1976-86).
Generations of Vikings, from Jim Marshall (1961-79) and Hall of Famer Carl Eller (1964-78) to tight end Visanthe Shiancoe (2007-11), attended portions of the weekend festivities.
Marshall and Eller sat beside each other inside the Vikings locker room at U.S. Bank Stadium, where a reception preceding the jacket ceremony was hosted. The pair of former teammates, who combined for 257 sacks, sat in large, plush-covered armchairs and swapped stories of the gridiron.
"The thing that I enjoy, of course, is seeing my former teammates," Eller said. "And at an occasion like this, we get to meet some of the younger guys.
On Saturday, the alumni had an opportunity to attend the NFL Legends Community Lunch and Learn, an event facilitated by the league to inform former players of benefits available to them through community partners. That evening, a reception was hosted at Randle's Restaurant and Bar, a *recent endeavor involving *Hall of Fame defensive tackle John Randle.
Vikings Legend Ahmad Rashad received his Purple Jacket in advance of going into the Ring of Honor on Sunday.
The weekend was capped off by a breakfast and viewing of the Vikings-Lions game from the Cabin Suites of U.S. Bank Stadium. During halftime of the game, Rashad's name was unveiled as the newest member of the Vikings Ring of Honor.
