National Soaring Museum
Founded in 1969, the National Soaring Museum is dedicated to preserving the history of motorless flight, containing the largest collection of motorless aircraft in the world dating from the 1890 to the late 20th century. It is one of only two museums of its kind in the country. The museum also houses an archives. The Harris Hill Soaring Corporation, located across the road from the museum, offers glider rides.

Soaring has been an integral part of Elmira's social and economic fabric for over 80 years. The Schweizer Aircraft Corporation built more than half of the sailplanes in the world in teh 20th century. National soaring contests began in the 1930s and the Works Progress Administration, one of the New Deal Programs initiated by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, built facilities (gliderport, hangars, cabins, a youth camp, and an administration building) for the competitions. During World War II, Elmira was chosen as the first site of the military's glider training program.
A local history museum started to collect glider aircraft in the 1950s. This grew and eventually it was decided that a museum dedicated for soaring was needed. The museum opened in 1969 in one of the buildings on Harris Hill. In 1969, a new facility was built, which was then expanded in 1989 and 1993. National competitions started again in 1980.

You Won't BELIEVE Who Just DEFENDED Jeffery Epstein
Image credit: CNBC
What in the world was she THINKING?
British socialite Lady Colin Campbell sparked outrage on Monday after she made stunning remarks about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that soliciting sex from an underage prostitute was not the same thing as pedophilia.
"The former TV personality defended the Duke of York — who is recovering from a 'car crash' interview aired on Saturday night — and his friendship with the late financier Epstein, a 66-year-old convicted sex offender who died in custody in New York in August," The Daily Mail reported.
"You all seem to have forgotten that Jeffrey Epstein, the offense with which he was charged and for which he was imprisoned, was soliciting prostitution from minors," Campbell, 70, angrily stated on "Good Morning Britain."
"That is not the same thing as pedophilia," Campbell, who authored a best-selling biography about Princess Diana, continued. "Soliciting prostitution, prostitution — "
Co-host Piers Morgan fired back, "If you solicited a 14-year-old for prostitution, you're a pedophile."
"It doesn't matter, the fact of the matter is it doesn't," Campbell responded.
"Pedophilia, I suspect, there is a difference between a minor and a child," Campbell continued.
One of the other members of the panel responded by saying, "A minor is a child."
"No, a minor isn't a child," Campbell responded.

Campbell's remarks on "Good Morning Britain" come after Prince Andrew gave a disastrous interview to the BBC last week which resulted in serious fall out.
"As far as Mr Epstein was concerned, it was the wrong decision to go and see him in 2010. As far as my association with him was concerned, it had some seriously beneficial outcomes in areas that have nothing and have nothing to do with what I would describe as what we're talking about today," Prince Andrew said. "On balance, could I have avoided ever meeting him? Probably not and that's because of my friendship with Ghislaine, it was … it was … it was inevitable that we would have come across each other. Do I regret the fact that he has quite obviously conducted himself in a manner unbecoming? Yes."

During another portion of the interview, Prince Andrew was confronted about his interactions with Virginia Roberts.
Emily Maitlis asked Prince Andrew about a night in which Roberts alleged that she was dancing with him, adding, "And you profusely sweating and that she went on to have bath possibly."
"There's a slight problem with the sweating because I have a peculiar medical condition which is that I don't sweat or I didn't sweat at the time and that was … was it … yes, I didn't sweat at the time because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenalin in the Falkland's War when I was shot at and I simply… it was almost impossible for me to sweat," Prince Andrew responded. "And it's only because I have done a number of things in the recent past that I am starting to be able to do that again. So I'm afraid to say that there's a medical condition that says that I didn't do it so therefore … "

Delta Takes Over an Order for 10 Airbus A350XWB Jets from LATAM Group
Atlanta, Georgia, U.S, - Delta Air Lines is taking over an order for 10 Airbus A350 jets intended for Latam Airlines Group. Delta agreed with LATAM and Airbus last fall for the arrangement.
The American carrier said it had deferred several of the near-term deliveries and was working with Airbus on options across its entire order book. A Delta spokeswoman said the 10 A350 aircraft, which stem from Delta's tie-up agreement with Chilean carrier Latam, would be delivered through 2025.
The deal firms up a planned switch first announced when the two carriers forged their alliance in 2019 and whose completion was partially disclosed in manufacturing data issued last week. The formal transfer of the jet order, worth roughly $3 billion at list prices, coincides with Delta and other U.S. airlines negotiating government aid to help them meet their payroll costs while dealing with a drastic drop in air travel demand because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Given the current environment, we are working in close partnership with Airbus on further rescheduling opportunities across our entire order book,"
Delta spokeswoman Lisa Hanna said.
Delta Chief Executive Ed Bastian told employees on Tuesday that the airline would receive $5.4 billion in U.S. government payroll support that would protect jobs through Sept. 30, but continued to encourage workers to consider taking unpaid leaves of absence as it weathers a 95% decline in passenger traffic.
Bloomberg News reported on April 14, citing people with knowledge of the matter, that Delta had agreed to sell and leaseback aircraft valued at $1 billion as part of efforts to raise cash while it continues talks about U.S. government aid. Delta did not comment on the report.
Delta Air Lines is losing $60 million a day. Over a third of its employees are on unpaid leaves. It has stored the majority of its fleet. The airline expects billions of dollars from the U.S. government as part of the Trump administration's plan to bail out the country's airline industry.

IN its efforts to make healthcare affordable, the Oyo State Health Insurance Agency, OYSHIA, yesterday, disclosed that it is targeting to capture 450,000 residents of the state in its health insurance scheme. Oyo state governor, Abiola Ajimobi This was disclosed by the Executive Secretary of the agency, Dr. Olusola Akande, during the opening of a two-day media dialogue on the theme: Improving Access and Uptake of Healthcare for Children and Women through Social Insurance Scheme in Oyo State, organised by the state Ministry of Information in collaboration with OYSHIA and the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, in Ibadan.
While stressing the essence of the health insurance, Dr. Akande pointed out that the scheme was setting money aside to improve on the heath care delivery in the state, while one is medically okay, adding that it became imperative for people to visit doctors as occasion demands with the aim of determining one's health status. Describing health insurance as protection against financial hazards, spreading of risks and pooling of risk to ensure that people remain healthy with little financial resources, the executive secretary maintained that healthcare was not curative alone, but also preventive, adding that health insurance changes the health-seeking habit of an individual.
The Health Specialist of United Nation International Children's Emergency Fund, UNICEF, Akure Field Office, Dr. (Mrs.) Adebola lamented that the state has only 22 medical doctors engaged by the state government. She noted that the state has 248 nurses/midwives, 166 community health workers, 922 community health extension workers and 747 health assistants, stressing that no child should be left in increasing access to healthcare.


Most aerial surfaces of plants are covered by cuticular wax that is synthesized in epidermal cells. The wax mixture on the inflorescence stems of Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana) is dominated by alkanes, secondary alcohols, and ketones, all thought to be formed sequentially in the decarbonylation pathway of wax biosynthesis. Here, we used a reverse- genetic approach to identify a cytochrome P450 enzyme ( CYP96A15) involved in wax biosynthesis and characterized it as a midchain alkane hydroxylase ( MAH1). Stem wax of T- DNA insertional mutant alleles was found to be devoid of secondary alcohols and ketones ( mah1- 1) or to contain much lower levels of these components ( mah1- 2 and mah1- 3) than wild type. All mutant lines also had increased alkane amounts, partially or fully compensating for the loss of other compound classes. In spite of the chemical variation between mutant and wild- type waxes, there were no discernible differences in the epicuticular wax crystals on the stem surfaces. Mutant stem wax phenotypes could be partially rescued by expression of wild- type MAH1 under the control of the native promoter as well as the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S- driven overexpression of MAH1 led to ectopic accumulation of secondary alcohols and ketones in Arabidopsis leaf wax, where only traces of these compounds are found in the wild type. The newly formed leaf alcohols and ketones had midchain functional groups on or next to the central carbon, thus matching those compounds in wild- type stem wax. Taken together, mutant analyses and ectopic expression of MAH1 in leaves suggest that this enzyme can catalyze the hydroxylation reaction leading from alkanes to secondary alcohols and possibly also a second hydroxylation leading to the corresponding ketones. MAH1 expression was largely restricted to the expanding regions of the inflorescence stems, specifically to the epidermal pavement cells, but not in trichomes and guard cells. MAH1- green fluorescent protein fusion proteins localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, providing evidence that both intermediate and final products of the decarbonylation pathway are generated in this subcellular compartment and must subsequently be delivered to the plasma membrane for export toward the cuticle.

Q&A: Meet Ron from Letterkenny, who is actually James from St. John's
James Daly is an actor and songwriter from St. John's. (Submitted by James Daly)
James Daly has been leaving his mark on stages and television screens around the globe since 2014, but getting there started in St. John's at Rennie's River Elementary.
Best known for his continuing work in the role of Ron on the hit television series Letterkenny — which released its 10th season on Christmas Day — Daly said he was bit by the acting bug at a young age and points to Canadian superstar Jim Carrey as an early inspiration. He has also appeared on the CBC sitcom Workin' Moms, which is now in its sixth season.
Outside of his acting career, Daly is a working musician and in November released his debut five-song EP after releasing a series of singles throughout the pandemic. Daly was nominated for three MusicNL awards at this year's gala, including pop artist of the year, rising star of the year and side musician of the year.
The CBC's Mike Moore caught up with Daly, who spoke from his home in Toronto, to talk about his career, what's happening now, and what's on the horizon.
Pitter patter, let's get at 'er.
The discussion has been edited for length and clarity.
Q: When did you get into acting?
A: I always wanted to be an actor. I think it was watching Jim Carrey movies. I remember watching him in The Grinch, Liar Liar, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, and just wanted to be like that. I wanted to be a comedian, I wanted to be in movies and I wanted to make people laugh. I would act like him as much as possible, I would act out his scenes for my family, for my classmates and for anybody who would listen, really.
I got into community theatre pretty early. I think by age 11 or 12 I was doing Peter MacDonald productions and school plays, and got into music as well in school. So I was always kind of really immersed in the arts, music and theatre in school and the community all growing up.
Q: Was it acting or music that first caught your attention?
A: It was acting. I never wanted to be a rock star or a singer-songwriter until I got to high school and started doing music more seriously. Acting was definitely my first love.
By high school they were kind of on par. I remember my mom bought me my acoustic guitar in Grade 10 and I started playing guitar, started writing songs, and then was I the lead in the school musical in Grade 11. I kind of found musical theatre was a great blend of both of my loves at that point.

Q: Leading up to graduating high school, was there a conscious decision to pursue acting as a career?
A: Absolutely. There was no other option for me. I never considered going to MUN, I never considered going to university and getting a degree of any kind. I just knew that I wanted to be an actor. I was auditioning for musical theatre schools: Randolph College for the Performing Arts in Toronto, Sheridan College in Oakville, Ont., and the National Theatre School of Canada in Montreal.
I got into all three and chose the National Theatre School in 2011 because it seemed to be the most prestigious, and their acceptance was they took the smallest class of actors of any school. There were 11 actors that were accepted in my year and I felt really lucky to be one of those. I was really excited about that.
Q: Were you then a working actor coming out of theatre school?
A: Kind of, yeah. I did a musical in Toronto called Next to Normal, and I did it the summer in between my first and second year and then they remounted the show in the summer between my second and third year. I was doing the show non-union: I think they were paying me $600 biweekly. I was making no money, staying on a friend's couch.
My now-agent came to see me at the show the second time I did it, and I got signed to the Gary Goddard Agency going into my third year of school. That was a great feather in my cap going into my final year of school, knowing I already have representation, I've already worked in Toronto. So then I was auditioning for shows sort of throughout my final year of school. When I graduated in May of 2014 I had a couple of musicals lined up already for the summer.
Outside of his acting career, Daly released his first EP of original music in November. (Submitted by James Daly)
Q: When did you break into television?
A: I booked an episode on TV show called Saving Hope, which was on CTV. I think that was in 2015, shortly after I graduated and was doing theatre as well. I actually did a Canadian Heritage Minute shortly after that, which was cool. I think I booked Letterkenny shortly after that, 2016.
Q: How did you get involved with Letterkenny?
A: It was just a regular audition. My agent sent me out for it. She was really excited about it because she had a couple of clients who worked on the show already and she thought it would be a really good fit for me.
I actually knew of the show and was a big fan of the show because my best friend from theatre school, Alexander De Jordy, was a main character in the first two seasons. So I was watching the show already and got the audition for it.
Q: How has the experience been?
A: I'm just super-grateful for the guys who run the show, because I think originally our characters [with actor Gregory Waters] were only supposed to be in just three episodes of Season 4, and they really liked working with us. I guess our characters were a bit of a hit on the show, so they brought us back for the following season and they've brought us back every season since.
It's been cool. The last time I was up there I was talking to Jared Keeso, who's the star of the show, the writer, the creator, executive producer. It's his show, and I was like, "Dude, thanks for bringing us back," and he was like, "What are you talking about? You guys are regulars on the show now."
That just felt like I'm part of the family. It was really validating. I look up to Jared Keeso so much. He's a bit of an idol of mine.
Q: Everybody seems to have fun on set. What's a regular day like shooting Letterkenny?
A: We do a lot of scenes with Dylan Playfair and Andrew Herr, who play Reilly and Jonesy on the show, and they're just cool, funny, down-to-earth dudes too. It was cool to become actual friends with those guys.
All the actors are really funny and then the script itself is really funny, too. It can get a bit overwhelming, just the amount of laughs that are going during filming and also on breaks.
Q: Outside of acting, when did you decide to release your own music?
A: It's something that I've always wanted to do, and something that had been trying to figure out how to do for a long time. I've done my own basic demo recordings of guitar and vocals and stuff, but I'm not a producer by any means.
It's fun to write songs in my room but I want people to hear them. With music it really feels like you're going it on your own and blaze your own trail and make connections yourself. It was really during the pandemic that I started releasing music and had the time to focus on it.
I had like, single, single, single, and now I've been working on this little album, and that is an accomplishment that is now out there.
A: I'm going back to the Shaw Festival next year, which has been really great this year for letting me perform music. They've been been doing a lot of concerts and outdoor pop-up shows and letting the actors take the lead on whatever they want to do. I've sort of leaned into playing music there.
Next year I'm going to be doing a musical there and also doing some of these outdoor live shows as well. I feel like that's going to be a good balance of being in a musical and also getting to perform some of my original stuff there as well.
I'm really proud to be from Newfoundland and I feel like I want to represent that as well as possible while I'm up here in Toronto.

Senate bill would provide up to $25B to protect U.S. chip industry from China
Larry Rulison
June 11, 2020 Updated: June 12, 2020 9:25 a.m.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer met Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019, with GlobalFoundries CEO Tom Caulfield. Schumer said he was told that the computer chip maker is "optimistic" about job growth at the company's Fab 8 factory in Malta, N.Y.

MALTA — America's computer chip makers, including locally based GlobalFoundries, got a huge boost from the U.S. Senate on Wednesday with a massive subsidy program proposal designed to help them compete against China's growing manufacturing influence.
The $25 billion proposal, which would include state funding that would be used to build new chip factories in the U.S., is well short of the $37 billion program that had been pitched by the chip industry.
The industry pushed the proposal as the coronavirus pandemic showed how the nation's reliance on chip technology from China and Asia could easily disrupt the electronics industry in the U.S. It also came as the Trump administration floated plans to entice a foreign company, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., GlobalFoundries' biggest competitor, to build a factory in Arizona with federal subsidies.
The proposal, worth between $22 billion and $25 billion, would include generous tax breaks for the purchase of new equipment at chip factories and matching grants for state subsidies for new or expanded computer chip plants in the U.S. The legislation was introduced by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, whose state has a vibrant chip manufacturing industry. He was joined in introducing the bill along with Virgina Senator Mark Warner, D-Va.
The bill is called the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors, or CHIPS, for America Act. The House of Representatives was planning to introduce the bill as well on Thursday.
"This legislation would help stimulate advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities domestically, secure the supply chain, and ensure the U.S. maintains our lead in design while creating jobs, lowering our reliance on other countries for advanced chip fabrication, and strengthening national security," Cornyn said in a statement.
SEMI, a San Jose, Calif. trade association that represents chip factory suppliers, said it "strongly supports" the new CHIPS bill, which would also provide billions of new federal dollars for chip research.
"The robust, refundable investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and facilities will quickly close the cost gap and provide certainty for investments in new and expanded fabs, creating thousands of jobs. Increased research funding will drive semiconductor innovation and growth, yielding new technologies that will improve our lives," Ajit Manocha, SEMI 's CEO, said in a statement. Manocha had previously served as CEO of GlobalFoundries and knows the U.S. chip industry well.
GlobalFoundries employs 3,000 people at its Fab 8 computer chip factory in Malta as well as thousands more at two other former IBM factories it operates in East Fishkill and in Essex Junction, Vt.
GlobalFoundries received roughly $1.5 billion in state tax and cash subsidies to establish Fab 8, which has cost the company $15 billion to build and expand the past 10 years. The company has sought additional federal support to strengthen its role as a chip manufacturer for the Defense Department.
"We welcome the Senators' recognition that onshore advanced semiconductor manufacturing is vital to U.S. economic and national security," GlobalFoundries spokeswoman Erica McGill told the Times Union. "This legislation reflects the growing consensus that investment and policy changes are needed now to restore American manufacturing strength and technology leadership. Semiconductors are the DNA embedded in critical tools that touch every aspect of our lives – the more we produce at home the better for the U.S. economy and our national security."
She said the company would "urge Congress to move quickly" to pass the bill "to secure the high-tech supply chain and recapture U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing."

Nollywood Actress actress Adaora Ukoh is a known for her daring movie roles.
The BBB thespian who produced her 3rd movie few months ago recently opened up to Inside Nollywood on her labour room experience and motherhood challenges.
"When it was time to give a push to my baby, my strength failed, as I have been in labour for 20 hours. I had low blood pressure and the doctors had to resort to oxygen.
For me, labour room experience is quite unforgettable. I felt like a zombie for three days.
However, when I saw my baby, the heart piercing pain disappeared. Well, that's the joy of motherhood. It's a life changing experience," she stated.
"I was on the look out for a good script. So, when I came across one, I knew it was what I wanted.

We are suffering from peculiar weather in the south-west Scotland area. We've had a mild, wet winter and now it's warm, dry and sunny with frost at night. There is a problem with the plants being a bit confused about whether they are full of the joys of spring or if they should be hibernating. It is confusing me as well because I spend time bringing plants back into the greenhouse at night when they should be safely outdoors by now.
The magnolia tree was in bud for so long and the moment the buds started to open, the frost got to some of them, thankfully it was just the early buds and the rest of it is bursting into blossom unscathed.
The cocktail kiwi has again started to throw out leaf buds, first attempts by earlier ones were killed by the frost. Lime caviar trees are frost-tender and I am so surprised mine is still alive. It was kept in the greenhouse then put out when I thought the frost had passed. How wrong I was, it came back with a vengeance (the frost not the tree) and the poor tree was suffering just as much damage getting moved in and out the greenhouse so I tried wrapping it with fleece. The spikes on the tree are lethal and trying to wrap fleece round it was not the easiest of tasks, especially when it not only held the fleece in a death grip but I was constantly getting impaled on the spikes.
The arctic bramble seemed to disappear completely during winter, so it was a welcome sight to see little green shoots appear, even surviving the frosts and now starting to produce the little magenta flowers. As one of the pleasures of growing edible produce is being able to beat the slugs to a tasty berry now and again and the arctic bramble doesn't produce a large harvest at any particular time, but fruits throughout the summer.
My Victoria plum tree was new last year so I am pleased to see a few blossoms on it this year. Whether it will produce fruit this year, I will just need to wait and see. In the meantime I have an unusual spell of dry weather to deal with.


You can tell just by looking at Marionne and Sheylan that they have a very special relationship. These two are high school sweethearts who both have huge hearts for people, each other and their two pups, Hazelnut and Nutmeg, were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. We knew from the first time that we met Marionne that her wedding day was going to be one of a kind! Marionne said that she wanted a bright, vibrant wedding as a nod to her groom, Sheylan's, Indian culture. We loved seeing every perfect detail come together on this gorgeous September day!
One of our favorite details is that Marionne (an incredibly talented graphic designer!) made all of her paper used in the wedding, even down to the invitations! We love to see our brides creativity and personality come to life through their planning process!
Oh, first looks. You have our hearts forever!
Vera Flora absolutely knocked it out of the park with Marionne's stunning bouquet! We adored the colors and textures! One of our favorites ever!
Marionne and Sheylan's pup, Hazelnut, made an appearance with an adorable collar that read 'Dog of Honor'. SO SWEET!
The reception at the pavilion at Aldridge Gardens was the perfect combination of bright and neutral colors. Guests enjoyed a fabulous meal by our friends at Savoie followed by a night full of dancing to incredible music by Oh No Stereo! It was truly a celebration!
Congratulations, Dr. and Mrs. Patel! We wish you many, many years of pure happiness and joy! Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your beautiful day!
As always, thank you to the vendors who made this day absolutely perfect!


Can't seem to get out of your own way? You're not alone. Fortunately, there's something you can do about it. In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen describe the hallmarks of those that suffer from self-sabotage. Learn what the causes are for self-defeating behavior, as well as methods to change this behavior to become your own best advocate instead of your own worst enemy.
Tanna Amen:	And I'm Tanna Amen. Here we teach you how to win the fight for your brain, to defeat anxiety, depression, memory loss, ADHD, and addictions.
Tanna Amen:	The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast is also brought to you by Brain MD, where we produce the highest quality nutraceutical products to support the health of your brain and body. For more information, visit BrainMDHealth.com. Welcome to the Brain Warrior's Way Podcast.
Welcome back. Today, we're gonna talk about self-sabotage. So I recently did a live chat on Facebook and I didn't realize what a nerve it was gonna touch. So, you know we've been doing some coaching. We sort of adopted a family this year and it's been ... Let's just say it's been a process. And so anyways, there's been some things going on and the question keeps coming up for me, why do people do things they know are gonna sabotage their success? And we know several people in our lives. I certainly know a bunch of people where I'm like ... You look at yourself and you're like, why? Why do they do that when they know it's not going to be a good outcome?
And I didn't realize what a nerve it was going to touch. I got a bunch of people writing in to me in my private inbox and wanting to have someone from the clinics call them, not understanding why they do the thing they do. They don't want to do them, but they do them. Very negative behaviors. So let's talk a little bit about that, because I think people are suffering.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	So, you know I just finished my 46th book and people go, "How'd you do that?" And I went, "I'm old, and I'm consistent."
Dr. Daniel Amen:	I've been writing for a long time.
Tanna Amen:	You are consistent, for sure.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	My first book was in 1982, "Secrets of Successful Students." 100,000 copies that sold last year in Mexico. My second book, in 1986 was called, "Sabotage Factor. How to Get Out of Your Own Way." What are the things people do that mess up their lives? So I've been thinking about this for a long time.
Tanna Amen:	And is there a why in there?
Dr. Daniel Amen:	There's a why the brain hates change. So you want to be very careful of the habits you allow in your life because the more you allow in your life, the more they become part of your life.
Tanna Amen:	And what about things like head injuries? What role do some of these things play? Because that's what we do here, right?
Tanna Amen:	Right. Lyme disease.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	I had one woman, recently. Her brain showed really low activity. She had open heart surgery when she was a baby.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	When she was a baby, which then lead to learning disabilities because she had lower overall blood flow to the brain, so the first hallmark of self-defeating behavior is having a brain that doesn't work right. And if you never look, you never know and that's why the imaging work here is so important.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	The second hallmark of self-defeating behavior is you blame other people for how your life has turned out.
Tanna Amen:	Being a victim.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Yeah. Because whenever you're a victim ... It's my wife's fault. It's my bosses fault. It's my child's fault. It's Trump's fault. You can't change anything.
Tanna Amen:	You just opened a whole can of worms.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Well, no. Whatever your political thing, this thing that happened in Hawaii that we talked about ... Right? Celebrities are tweeting, it's because Trump provided this toxic environment. It's like, no, probably the guy didn't sleep and made the mistake. But whenever you blame someone else for the problems in your life, you become a victim.
Tanna Amen:	And victims can't win.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	And you can't change anything, because it's not your fault. And I love what you say. We say it all the time, that taking responsibility doesn't mean it's your fault.
Tanna Amen:	Doesn't mean blame.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	It means your ability to respond to this situation.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	And so brain, and blame, and then not being effective. Not having a plan.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	So if we think about the person that we helped, some really simple things that she didn't know how to do.
Tanna Amen:	Yeah. It's interesting. They seem simple to us, but to someone who doesn't know, or has no exposure to doing any of this stuff would have never ... She would have never really gotten it on her own. So getting help, I think, is really important if you're struggling at that level.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	So having a plan.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	It's effective. So vetting the plan with other people who've actually done what you want to do.
Tanna Amen:	Yeah, I think having a mentor and a role model? Huge for success.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Who you hang out with is really important.
Tanna Amen:	Tony Robbins has a saying that I love. I adopted it when I was in my early 20s when I was struggling. Success leaves clues. And so, if you find successful people that you want to ... You want to accomplish some of the things they've done, or you want to be like them, success leaves clues. Watch what they do. Right?
Tanna Amen:	So much so that the olympics usually visualization techniques.
Tanna Amen:	In fact, they say they're not allowed to visualize any mistakes, because practice, you can't do 100% perfectly. Visualization you can do 100% perfectly. So when they're visualizing, when they have coaches that are doing the visualization with them, if they make a mistake they make them rewind it like a tape going backwards until they get it perfect.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	And they want to go slow initially, to do that, so they really understand the steps.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	People who sabotage them, repeat their mistakes. And they never study their mistakes. We know you're gonna make mistakes. We make mistakes all the time, but successful people think about their mistakes.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	They study their mistakes like basketball players. I was gonna use football, but I'm like, "No, let's not use football." They watch film.
Tanna Amen:	Over, and over, and over.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	-this is why we lost the game. And so they think about it. They don't just deny it and hope it will be better going forward.
Tanna Amen:	They're gonna keep doing the same thing, even if it's wrong.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Right. They have trouble making decisions or they make impulsive decisions, right? And what we learned is if you don't sleep enough, you're more likely to say that nasty thing to your spouse that you shouldn't have said. You're more likely to eat something you really didn't want.
Tanna Amen:	You're also more likely to get in a car accident.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	You're more likely to get into a car accident, communication problems, being insensitive to others, having [inaudible 00:08:12], and then important things. Like you don't have the energy to do it, because your thyroid's not right.
Tanna Amen:	So hormones can play a big role. Your blood work. Really important to have those things checked. You can't change what you don't measure. Can't change what you don't know.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	And then persistence.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	It is so important. So many people ... I mean, I have 10 best sellers, and I think my first book was rejected about 30 times.
Tanna Amen:	Right? It's one of the things I love about martial arts, is it requires persistence.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Right. Now you don't want to go so far as to be a stalker, because stalkers are persistent.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Right, so not all persistence is good.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	-to give up. It's like, "Okay, this isn't going in the right direction."
Tanna Amen:	Let's go back to martial arts, okay? That kind of persistence is really good. It requires a tremendous amount of focus and it requires being okay doing it wrong, repeatedly, until you fix it and get it right.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	-keep doing it wrong, what happens is the brain learns how to do it wrong.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	And will make it harder to do it right.
Tanna Amen:	That's a really good point.
Tanna Amen:	Really good coaches.
Tanna Amen:	So good they're not afraid to tell you, "Do it again. Do it again." Like, "Do it right."
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Like do it again right.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Do it again right. Because there's this thing in the brain called long-term potentiation.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	And the more you practice something ... So initially, the brain makes sort of a soft connection when you learn something new. I'm learning the piano and having so much fun at it. Learned how to play, "Don't Worry, Be Happy." And I had to do it over, and over, and over again.
Tanna Amen:	That so fits you.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	And if I keep practicing it wrong, then my brain will automatically be doing what's wrong. I need to practice perfectly in order to make those perfect connections in my brain.
Tanna Amen:	So in the book, "The Talent Code." It's a really good book. In the book, "The Talent Code." They talk about that. So you have to go back and slow down to the point ... Do it so slow, in slow motion, until you get it right, right? So you have to be willing to ... But they make a big point that the best people in their fields, whether it's the violin, dance, whatever it is, okay? Martial arts, sports. The people who are the best, they actually studied this. They're not afraid to look foolish or stupid, or make mistakes in the beginning, and they're not afraid to go back and slow it down, and look silly doing it, to get it right. So, that was one of the big differences between them and people who were mediocre. Because they didn't want to do that. They didn't want to look funny. They didn't want to look silly.
So, being willing to do that. Being willing to, "All right. I'm willing to let it be worse before it gets better, in order to be great."
Dr. Daniel Amen:	So, step number one, take care of your brain. Optimize your brain. And then it has to be programmed right, with the right information and strategies. And if you self-sabotaged a lot, welcome to normal. Now is a good time to try a different way.
Tanna Amen:	And get help, if you need help. If you really suspect ... Like if you've had a head injury, or you suspect there's something going on chemically, or you've got an imbalance, this is the time to get help. If you see the pattern, that you've been doing the same thing and you just can't seem to get out of your own way, you might need some help.
Dr. Daniel Amen:	Stay with us. Thank you for listening to the Brain Warrior's Way podcast. Go to iTunes and leave a review and you'll automatically be entered into a drawing to get a free signed copy of the Brain Warrior's Way and the Brain Warrior's Way cookbook we give away every month.

Every year, hundreds of new algorithms are published in the field of biomedical image analysis. For a long time, validation and evaluation of new methods was based on the authors' personal data sets, rendering fair and direct comparison of solutions impossible. In the meantime, common research practice has changed and involves organization of international competitions ('challenges') that allow for benchmarking algorithms on publicly released data sets. While this was a great step forward, "advancement of science requires continuous examination of the principles and practices by which the research community operates" [1]. After 10 years of grand biomedical challenges at MICCAI, we have carefully analyzed and critically questioned common practice related to the design and organization of biomedical challenges [2,3]. Given this analysis, the mission of the MICCAI challenge working group is to bring MICCAI challenges to the next level of quality.

"Once considered a mere caretaker for collections, the curator is now widely viewed as a globally connected auteur. Over the last twenty-five years, as international group exhibitions and biennials became the dominant mode of presenting contemporary art to the public, curatorship began to be perceived as a constellation of creative activities not unlike artistic praxis. The curator went from being a behind-the-scenes organizer and selector to a visible, centrally important cultural producer. In The Culture of Curating and the Curating of Culture(s), Paul O'Neill examines the emergence of independent curatorship and the discourse that helped to establish it.
O'Neill describes how, by the 1980s, curated group exhibitions--large-scale, temporary projects with artworks cast as illustrative fragments--came to be understood as the creative work of curator-auteurs. The proliferation of new biennials and other large international exhibitions in the 1990s created a cohort of high-profile, globally mobile, curators, moving from Venice to Paris to Kassel. In the 1990s, curatorial and artistic practice converged, blurring the distinction between artist and curator.
O'Neill argues that this change in the understanding of curatorship was shaped by a curator-centered discourse that effectively advocated--and authorized--the new independent curatorial practice. Drawing on the extensive curatorial literature and his own interviews with leading curators, critics, art historians, and artists, O'Neill shows that the that the curator-as-artist model has been highly contested. The Culture of Curating and the Curating of Culture(s) documents the many ways that our perception of art has been transformed by curating and the discourses surrounding it." From the press release.

4 x 6.5″ squares of cotton patched together. The patchwork is then pinned right-sides together with a single piece of cotton the same size, with 10cm ribbons pinned inwards in place. Sew most of the way around, turn right-way out and then stitch over the open section and all of the way around for a nice neat border. Et voila!
This is a great present for babies. They like them from about 4mo when they can grab at the tags and play with them in the pram.
Can you tell I like this colour combo of yellow, green, blue and orange (as also seen on Baby Blanket #1)? I think it's a fun and gender-neutral palette for babies.

'Race industry needs to take care of its horses'
By Susan Salk on June 14, 2016
Richard "The Mig" Migliore visits with CL Rib at the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation's facility in Wallkill, N.Y.
Days before Triple Crown hopeful American Pharoah was set to blast off from post-position 5 at Belmont Park, an award-winning jockey turned sportscaster, and nicknamed for a Russian fighter jet, spoke of the need in the horse world and racing industry to take care of its equine athletes.
Richard "The Mig" Migliore, an Eclipse Award winning jockey who tenaciously piloted horses to close to 4,500 wins in a storied career, says that horses brought him "everything good in my life" and now that he is retired from horse racing, he seeks to "pay them back" from his vantage on the Board of Directors of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF).
Fresh from a recent visit to the TRF's Wallkill, N.Y. facility, where 45 Thoroughbred ex-racehorses receive care from inmates in the horsemanship skills program Second Chances, Migliore says he has thought a lot about what happens to racehorses after their careers end, and of the absolute necessity for the sport to find a way to take care of its horses.
"I will say this. I believe it's incumbent upon the industry, and anybody who has derived any pleasure from a horse, to make sure they're taken care of," Migliore says. "A lot of these horses have very short careers. Everybody's very aware of them when they're racing, and while people are gambling on them and they're making money for people.
"But they're quickly forgotten unless they go to stud or become broodmares."
Bubba Sparks greets Migliore during the Eclipse Award winning jockey's visit to the TRF facility in NY.
Since joining the TRF last October, Migliore has been thinking hard about aftercare issues facing ex-racehorse Thoroughbreds, and says he hopes to help craft a plan of action that the industry might embrace.
"The fact that I had so much success as a rider, I feel it is my responsibility to give back to the horses. Horses have given me everything good in my life, from the tangible things like my house and little farm, and my car, to even meeting my wife Carmela. So, everything good has come from them."
On a recent afternoon, Migliore hopped in his car and drove 45 minutes to the Wallkill facility to speak to inmates about two very special horses in the herd they care for. Stakes placed Ohio bred CL Rib and New York bred Bubba Sparks, two mounts Migliore rode in the early 2000s, greeted him at the fence.
He brought pictures of the horses taken during their glory days, and told stories about the old days. And afterwards, Migliore felt more than just a little enlightened from the experience.
"I can be a little harsh with people who don't do the right things, I guess. But after speaking with the guys there, I had such empathy," he says. "Speaking with these guys, I could tell they wanted to change their lives, and I could see the pride they had in the care they were giving the horses. I was really touched to see how much of a difference these horses are making in their lives."
Now if only those who enjoy the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, and all of the people who are themselves touched by a horse, will help care of the beautiful animals who give so many hope. — Originally published on June 5, 2015.

I was so encouraged and uplifted to see this retired jockey taking up the very important problem of the poor care horses receive after they're done racing. I hope there is a lot of support for this!! It is disgusting that retired racehorses are just basically discarded – what a disgusting morally repugnant thing so I am very proud to see Miglione creating a drive to help horses who so deserve good care after all they did!

It's so good seeing Migliore with his equine friends. I heartily agree that commercial breeders need to take care of their horses to with whom they bred and sold.
It's great also to see the work that the inmates do to take care of these racers in their retirement days.
WTG!! To everyone 🙂

I, too remember when Migliore rode. Good to see that he's involved in aftercare of retired race horses.

I remember him from the days when he was an apprentice jockey on the NYRA tracks back in the early 80s. One of the most consistent horses he rode, a claimer named Creme de la Fete, retired to TRF in Walkill at the end of his career.


Manager Graham Westley said today's 2-0 win at Dagenham & Redbridge was a sign of his team evolving as a unit.
He told Boro Player, "The back five were much more organised than they've been. It's nice that we've got players like Jerome back from injury and Darius is settling in there alongside Wellsy and Ronnie we know what he's all about. When you've got a base you've got a platform and the boys in front of it can develop your game.
"I thought we did ok today. It was a strong enough away performance. It wasn't outstanding, it wasn't brilliant but it was resilient and organised and we did enough damage to them in the vital moments.
"The players are starting to understand each other. It's often put up as excuses when you're talking about a newness to the team, players not knowing each other, partnerships not knowing each other, back fours not knowing the way you want them to play but reasons and excuses are very close cousins in football.
"We know what we need to build upon. We're looking fitter, we're looking stronger - those are the things we've really focused on. The togetherness of the team and the camp is growing and I think you can see that something is building here once more."

Maximum functionality and patient dignity. The Sani-Sling is a universal Padded Toileting Sling that works on 4 or 6 point Patient Lifts and Stand Assist Lifts. Can be used on Stand Assist Lifts to eliminate under arm discomfort.
Quick and safe transfers, bottom is open for toileting. Eliminates the need for inferior commode opening style slings.
Deluxe padding under arms, this sling is designed with maximum functionality and dignity.
Easy to apply since the patient is not sitting on the sling. Simply lean the patient forward slightly to pull the backstrap behind their back, place the leg strap under the thigh and you are ready to lift.
Wide perineal opening allows for quick and easy clothing adjustments.
May be used with all standard loop type 4 or 6 point spreader bars. Also works with the Apex Stella Stand Assist lift.
No head support on this sling.
Sani-Slings are made for maximum functionality and patient dignity. Eliminates need for poorly designed slings with commode opening. Easy to apply and use, these slings are well padded under the arms and lumbar region for maximum comfort. The Sani-Sling also works extremely well on stand assist lifts for patients requiring lower back and body support during a sitting transfer.
Manufactured by Bestcare LLC (formerly Apex Dynamics).
This is a great sling. I can use it on both of my lifts, depending on what is happening at the time. This is my second one. The last one lasted about 6 months. The first one got wash more than it should have due to a "learning curve" on my provider's part. Now we try to keep the leg straps disconnected and out of the way during actual use to prevent accidental soiling. My wife loves the new sling and its feel.
I got the large but it's not a large as I thought it should be.
Ordered this sling for my mom, who has MS. She has use of her upper body but can no longer walk. It is extremely easy to position the sling under her while she's either laying or sitting, and the padding and terry cloth lining is a Godsend -- much softer than any other sling we've tried. She can have it under her all day without irritation. It also puts her in a good position for toileting or moving from recliner to wheelchair, etc. We will be ordering another one so we have two.
It has padding in the right places and is easy to use. It allows me to lift my husband clear of the chair with half the number of pumps than his other sling.

Home Latest Stories VIEWS - Yours and Ours City Hall says they are keeping the "momentum going"
City Hall says they are keeping the "momentum going"
(Mayor Linda Cox asked Loveland Magazine to publish this Press Release)
Attached (and copied below) is a press release updating Loveland residents' on the economic development projects ongoing in our City. I would appreciate if you'd publish this in Loveland Magazine at your earliest convenience.
Linda Cox, Mayor
City of Loveland
Business Investment is reaching all-time highs in Loveland. Over $30 million worth of new projects have been committed or made the past year. New businesses, such as Tender Towne Chicken, American Heritage Motors and a drive through Starbucks are coming to Loveland-Madeira Road. The City, using its Community Improvement Corporation and proceeds from the Hamilton County Development Corporation's Urban Land Assistance Program grant, purchased and is demolishing the old bowling alley adding a six acre ready-to-build site to the corridor.
Mike's Car Wash recently opened their corporate headquarters in the Loveland Commerce Park on Union Cemetery Road. Plans are also underway for the headquarters for McCluskey Automotive to locate in the Center. These two well-known businesses will bring approximately 80 new jobs to Loveland.
Downtown continues to be vibrant with the Loveland Station well under way. According to developer Jim Cohen, they have "exceeded expectations" with the attraction of high profile tenants including Vertical Drop, Graeters, Bella's Italian Restaurant, Busy Bee Gift Shop, and Casual Pint. The iconic Dairy Whip and Julians completed major renovation this past year. And everyone who walks into Plaid Room Records leaves with a vintage album or tape and quite likely experiences some really cool live music while they are there.
A 24/7 environment with thriving residences and businesses contributes to a community's health. To this end, housing certainly hasn't been neglected. In Downtown 94 units are being built at Loveland Station and 40 at the Trails of East Loveland. Initial discussions are also underway to add condominium units in the downtown basin area. These new residents provide a captive audience for downtown shops and restaurants.
All these businesses, as well as the many businesses who have called Loveland home for years, generate new jobs and tax revenues that provide the revenues to continue investing in our streets, parks and other infrastructure and amenities for our residents. For example, the 2015 Budget commits to roads the highest amount in approximately ten years. A matching grant from ODNR's Recreational Trails Program will allow the City to build a pedestrian bridge over the creek at the East Loveland Nature Preserve.
The Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce continues to offer exciting events including truck rallies at the Shopper's Haven , summer concerts, and one of the most successful 4th of July festivals in our history. Loveland Stage Company offers top notch theater productions, our Loveland Historical Society continues to chronicle our rich history, and the Loveland Farmer's Market has grown at it new location on Loveland Madeira Road, across from Kroger and next to Castle Skateland – two more long-time stalwart Loveland enterprises.
As Loveland continues to grow and prosper we are taking steps to plan for and accommodate this growth. The City is currently updating its master plan to serve as a guide for our future growth and development. Wayfinding signage is also on the way. It will incorporate signs, maps and other graphics to help those travelling to Loveland find parking and destinations throughout Loveland but certainly with an emphasis on the downtown area. Additional parking will be built later this year on Broadway at the site of the former McCoy Pony Keg due in part to funding through ODNR's Community Recreation Project Pass Through Grant.
With all this excitement and energy it's no surprise that Loveland is a desirable choice for families and businesses. Let's all continue working together to keep the positive momentum up!

When working with a retail partner, knowing who is ultimately responsible for the store redesign is critical.
Marketing, Operations, Visual Merchandising and Construction.
Retailers are investing more into unique designs and tech nology in order to create an interesting, interactive, and memorable experience for customers. At the same time, online retailers are starting to open brickandmortar stores to augment the online experience. Their stores are not necessarily a place to buy the product, but to have physical interactions, including cus tomer service and product trial before deciding to purchase it. This trend is beneficial for instore marketing and store fixtures/visual mer chandising suppliers.
Retailers are moving away from "cookie cutter designs" by integrating technology and interaction with technology in stores, such as using tablets for POS screens, and replacing static messaging with touchscreen engagement. As mobile usage continues to grow, retailers are seeking ways to capture the attention of people on mobile devices. Retailers are experimenting with iBeacons and other devices to push information to customers as they walk through different areas of the store.

Join Lola on her journey as she makes her way through a fun filled environment of bright colors, interactive characters and creative problem solving to get all of her friends to a party!
Specifically designed for children 3–7 years old, Lola's Math Train encourages children to learn key skills like adding, subtracting and puzzle solving all while having fun!
As of March 21st 2013, Lola's Math Train is also available for Nintendo 3DS, on the Americanmarket. A European version will follow.
Lola's Math Train is available as FREE trial versions for iPad, iPhone, Mac, and Android. The free versions contain the easiest level of the game.
My Experience: My six-year-old son, Braxton has a Nintendo 3DS, and he has been playing Lola's Math Train every chance he gets for the past three days. It is fascinating to see him getting so into it. Braxton is learning number identification, addition and subtraction, as well as sequencing numbers in a row, equations, patterns and shape recognition.
The players are put in the conductor's seat of a train headed to a big bash, and all of Lola's animal friends are invited. During each leg on the six-step journey, 11 math problems must be solved before arriving at a station where a single animal can be loaded into one of the available carts.
After every three math problems, there's a fun activity, such as a puzzles to solve or little games such as arranging separated pieces that make up a whole number, sets of shapes where one or more instances in the pattern are missing and must be filled in, and one where numbered balloons must be dragged over to create an acceptable equation.
All in all, I am very pleased with Lola's Math Train. My son loves it. As a mother, I love watching him play it, and to see how much he is learning from it.

Case involving fight between Lemon Grove councilman, cannabis businessman heads to court
Lemon Grove City Councilman David Arambula (left) and Lemon Grove Mayor Racquel Vasquez are involved in a lawsuit brought by a cannabis dispensary businessman who was injured in a fight with Arambula in 2017.
(Karen Pearlman / The San Diego Union-Tribune)
Lawsuit stems from meeting at David Arambula's house arranged by local Democratic Party officer
By Karen Pearlman
LEMON GROVE —
Lemon Grove City Councilman David Arambula says he knew that Christopher Williams was interested in discussing a city-related business matter when he agreed to meet with Williams at his home in July 2017, according to court documents.
But he said he did not know that Williams wanted to talk about the businessman's pending application to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Lemon Grove, as Williams has asserted, and when the matter came up, he immediately halted the conversation, warned Williams it was inappropriate and walked outside.
Several hours later, the evening ended with a fight between Williams and Arambula that left Williams with a gash over his eye, a fractured rib and bite marks on his arms, injuries Arambula acknowledges in court documents that he inflicted after Williams allegedly attacked him first.
As a result of the incident, Williams filed a lawsuit against the city and Arambula, seeking to recover medical costs and collect punitive damages.
Now, more than two years after the incident, the case will finally be heard this week in San Diego Superior Court. The first day of the jury trial is Friday, with Judge Richard S. Whitney presiding at the downtown courthouse.
While it will focus on the events leading up to the fight, the case also raises questions about the appropriateness of conducting city business outside of City Hall in a private setting, whether state law was violated, why neither Arambula nor Williams reported the incident to sheriff's officials, and why other members of the City Council were not immediately told about the incident.
Also at Arambula's house that evening were Lemon Grove Mayor Racquel Vasquez, who works for the city of San Diego, and Taisha Brown, the former vice chair of the San Diego County Democratic Party, who arranged the meeting between Arambula and Williams and invited Vasquez to attend.
A meeting involving city officials isn't a violation as long as there is not a quorum, but City Council members are not supposed to decide city business or appear to decide city business that will later come before them for a vote.
According to depositions filed with the court, Arambula told Williams' attorney, Cory Briggs, that he knew he would be discussing city-related business at his house when he agreed to meet with Williams and Brown on July 14, 2017. But Arambula asserts that he did not know that Williams wanted to talk about his pending applications to open a cannabis dispensary. When the matter came up, he said he immediately halted the conversation, warned Williams it was improper to discuss the matter and walked away.
Williams has said he's been frustrated for years in dealing with Lemon Grove. Since voters in 2016 passed a measure allowing medical cannabis dispensaries to open in the city, Williams has submitted at least three applications to operate a dispensary, but only one has been approved. It has not yet opened.
The city of Lemon Grove several months ago asserted in court documents that it should be dropped from the suit. The city said that at the time of the altercation, Arambula was not acting in his official capacity as a representative of the city, but rather as a private citizen during a social event at the councilman's home.
But in February, Judge Whitney ruled that Arambula was indeed conducting city business, and thus kept Lemon Grove as a litigant.
In a deposition, Arambula said he knew he would be discussing city business at his house. He said he had previously had meetings with others at his home to discuss city business, but none since that night two years ago in July.
When asked why he didn't have those previous meetings at City Hall, Arambula said, "it was more convenient at home. And most times it was late afternoon or evenings after hours."
Arambula has not disputed that he and Williams exchanged punches that night/morning at his home. The two, however, have differing accounts about what happened.
According to court documents, Brown said she spoke to Arambula on behalf of Williams to set up a meeting to discuss Williams' applications for medical marijuana dispensaries. Brown said she made it clear to Arambula that Williams wanted to meet with him to discuss his applications for the cannabis shops.
Brown said she heard Williams discussing his dispensary applications with Arambula, who "even showed (Williams) a briefing booklet that he had received for the upcoming City Council meeting" where an appeal by Williams was to be heard.
In his deposition, Arambula confirmed that Brown had invited Williams to his house. "She said that she knew a gentleman that wanted to invest in Lemon Grove. And I was happy to hear him out. And that's it," according to court documents.
Cannabis dispensary businessman Christopher Williams in a photo he says was taken after a July 2017 fight with Lemon Grove City Councilman David Arambula. Williams' court case against Arambula and the city of Lemon Grove is scheduled to be heard Friday, Dec. 13.
But contrary to Brown's account, Arambula said that when Williams said "he wanted to open up marijuana dispensaries," Arambula said he asked him to "stop right there, we're not talking about this."
He said he told Williams he wouldn't discuss a "really hot topic … in an informal setting like that" and told Williams he needed to talk to city staff about the cannabis shop.
Vasquez said Williams also kept trying to raise the subject of his dispensaries with her, and she repeatedly warned him that she was prohibited by state law from giving him any indication how she might vote on his planned businesses.
Vasquez said that as the evening progressed, Williams' behavior began to make her uncomfortable, that he got into her "personal space," touched her twice with his hands and told her he was attracted to her.
Arambula also said he saw Williams making advances toward the mayor and chasing her around the pool when she rebuffed him, according to court documents.
The fight reportedly began around midnight, after Brown and Vasquez had left and after Arambula and Williams had been drinking, court documents say.
Williams accuses Arambula of hitting him on the head with a beer bottle and biting, kicking, punching and choking him. Williams said he was taken to Alvarado Hospital by his friend, Kathleen.
A claim by Williams that was rejected by the city contends Vasquez and Brown witnessed the fight; both have denied being present, which Arambula corroborates.
Vasquez and Brown went home around 11:30 p.m., Arambula said, and soon after a frustrated Williams said to him, "You're going to do what I need you to do."
Arambula, who served in the Marine Corps, said in court documents that he and Williams then wrestled inside the home. Arambula said toward the end of the fight, he grabbed Williams by his belt loop and dragged him by the collar outside.
Arambula admitted to hitting Williams "about four times, five times" in the nose, mouth, above his left eye and above his right eye.
Arambula said he feared for his life.
"I don't know for how long," he said in court documents, "but I can tell you when he was trying to choke me using these wrestling moves, and also when he put his forearm — and I was laying on my back and he put his forearm on my mouth and nose."
Before Williams had tried to choke him, Arambula said, "(Williams) told me you're going to do what the (expletive) I want you to do. He then started pulling me and twisting and wrestling."
Williams's injuries were reported to authorities while he was being treated at the hospital, but he declined to press charges at that time, saying he feared retaliation from the city.
Court records show that Williams said he has "suffered a variety of physical and economic injuries as a result of the attack on me by Mr. Arambula, including business losses."
He said by his estimate, "based on my business plan and the amount of work I was unable to do and the extent of my injuries, the attack harmed me to the tune of several hundreds of thousands of dollars."
