The Usenet is the world's largest collection of user generated files and discussions in the world. The Usenet, for all of its awesome power in encouraging discussions, conversations and the sharing of files with millions of unique users from all corners of the globe, is really analogous to a glorified email system and is actually very simple in the way it works. The Usenet is a collection of hundreds of millions of articles or messages categorized into groups called newsgroups and stored on millions of Usenet server computers all over the globe. The messages or articles within the newsgroups on the Usenet server computers make up the Usenet. The people that run and maintain the Usenet servers are often referred to as news service providers or NSPs. The Usenet works by Usenet severs sharing articles or messages with other Usenet servers to ensure that each Usenet server or news service provider has a copy of the latest and most current set of all of the messages on the Usenet. Each Usenet server or NSP will keep a copy of all Usenet articles for a certain period of time. The length of time Usenet articles stay on a Usenet server is known as retention. For example, if an NSP has a retention time of 650 days, you would be able to download and retrieve articles created or posted 650 days ago.
In addition to text based newsgroups loaded with discussions on virtually any topic the mind can conceive, the Usenet is also home to a plethora of user generated content in the form of music, videos, software and eBooks. All of these types of files are referred to as binaries as they are digital files stored in the binary newsgroups on the Usenet. Binary files are handled much like an email message with an attachment that is posted or sent to a particular binary newsgroup. In practice one binary file, say a user generated mp3 file, will be spanned across multiple Usenet articles that contain encoded text that when put together make up the mp3 file as a whole. Let's look at a real world example to make understanding this concept clear. Say you have just gotten back from your family vacation in the Bahamas and you have a full CD loaded with fun filled videos and pictures that you would like to share with friends on the other side of the globe that also use the Usenet. A full CD is equal to about 650 megabytes of binary digital information. Just like email, 650 megabytes is too large to attach to a single email and must be broken into smaller parts and sent in multiple emails. A single CD would be made up of hundreds of encoded newsgroup text articles.

A Spokane man faces a murder charge after he allegedly ran over a bicyclist following an argument.
Spokane police arrested Billy J. Dalager, 23, on investigation of first-degree murder following a collision around 5 a.m. Sunday in the 2700 block of East Central Avenue in Hillyard.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, police said in a news release. Witnesses told officers at least two vehicles chased the victim on his bike.
Police spokeswoman Officer Teresa Fuller said everyone from the collision was accounted for and no additional charges are expected.
Officers located Dalager around 6:20 a.m., the release said. He will appear in court Monday.
Dalager pleaded guilty to criminal trespass and malicious mischief charges in 2015, according to newspaper records.

t this time in exactly one month, I will be standing on the start line of the Busselton Half Ironman about to swim a 1.9k swim as part of a team. Wetsuit clad people all huddled together, with nervous energy flickering around us. Chatter and sighing, lots of noise and nervous energy. Arms and legs stretching and bending, trying to focus on why lies ahead and straining to hear the sound of the starters voice over the beat of your heart. The thought of that both terrifies me and excites me. I am looking forward to the challenge in so many ways.. and a little nervy about the distance, swimming competitively and setting a good time for the 2 people to follow (Dean, our awesome cyclist friend will tackle the 90k ride and my spunky hubby Brad is finishing off with the 21k run). I am so excited about going down there, watching the elite athletes compete, soaking up the atmosphere and surrounding myself with the positive energy that I feel at every triathlon I compete in. The determination and dedication of each and every athlete is awe inspiring.
One of the best personal results of my training and competing (apart from the 23kg weight loss, which is awesome all on it's own :) ) is the life lessons I am learning and sharing with my kids. I don't compete to win, I participate to challenge myself. I don't care if I come first, last or somewhere in between. I focus on my times and improving them each and every race. I celebrate my increasing fitness and technique, and I feel proud because I am winning by beating myself (and everyone else who is still home in bed:)) I am loving sharing this journey with my hubby and kids because it is teaching my kids that anything is possible if you work hard, practice and have faith in yourself.
So in one months time, I'll be a few minutes into a 1.9k swim. Tangled up with bodies trying to find my place in the water. Bobbing along with the waves. Talking to myself to calm breathing and my beating heart. Focussing on finding a rhythm to swim to by singing songs in my head. And I expect that will happen all with a huge smile on my face. Because Life is Good.

Q: .htaccess to match anything containing a character I am trying to write a rule to skip over a fake directory with .htaccess. I have achieved this like
RewriteRule ^fake/(.+)$ /$1 [N,NC]

so now /fake/real would just get /real
But I have a need to target anything which is in the format xx-xx like en-gb or en-us
I have tried something like
RewriteRule ^a{5}/(.+)$ /$1 [N,NC]

which should try and match anything of length 5. But this does not work, and is only half the job anyway. How can I match anything like xx-xx ?

A: As pointed out in the comments, use:
[a-z]{2}-[a-z]{2}

A: When you do a{5}, it means match the character a five times.

You want to match 2 alphabets, followed by a - and again 2 alphabets:
[a-z]{2}\-[a-z]{2}

The [NC] flag will take care of EN-gb or eN-gB etc. too.

Today was quite an eventful day. With an early start in Livorno we jaunted over to Livorno Central the train station and moseyed our way to the famous town of Pisa which holds the world renowned leaning tower of Pisa. We walked around the old town which was filled with many tourist gift shops, delicious restaurants, serving everything from pizza to prosciutto and melon. We climbed up the many steps of the Tower of Pisa, and enjoyed a beautiful vista of the surrounding cathedral, and grassy lawn surrounded by an ancient and well trodden promenade. After a well paced stroll we headed for the train station, and back to the city of Livorno where the boat was docked. We dropped lines with haste and made way for the famous island of Elba. The sail there was filled with some big waves, and strong enough winds to sail along at a comfortable 10 knots, even if the sea was a little lumpy. We made great time to Elba and dropped anchor with only moments to spare to watch another fantastic sunset in the beautiful waters just of the Italian Coast. All in all a fantastic day with much accomplished, and little time left to spare.

Controversial CLASS Act ignites long-term care insurance debate
November 19, 2020 October 15, 2020 by Mike Frazer
Amy Higgins
The Community Living Assistance Services and Support Act (CLASS Act), a provision under the federal health care reform law, is a new program that will provide long-term care insurance to participants regardless of health issues.
Although the program seeks to prevent Americans from being saddled with catastrophic long-term care costs, it's the cost of the CLASS Act itself that is being called into question. In fact, in December 2010, the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform called the program unsustainable and recommended that it be either repaired or repealed.
How does the CLASS Act work?
The CLASS Act allows working adults (18 years and older) to obtain long-term care insurance by enrolling and paying a monthly premium (deducted from their paychecks). Benefits will be paid out of a trust fund that consists of a combination of all premiums and the interest they have earned. That money can be withdrawn when benefits are needed, but only after five years of active participation and when the individual has a level of disability that qualifies for payments, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
If an employer signs up employees for CLASS benefits, it automatically will be a participant in the program. However, employees who choose not to participate can simply opt out.
About 86 percent of individuals with long-term care needs live out in the community, according to Kaiser. CLASS Act benefits provide cash for non-medical living expenses necessary to keep them there.
According to Kaiser, examples of expenses covered under the CLASS Act include:
Housing modification for those who choose to be cared for at home.
Assistive technologies.
Personal assistance services.
The goals of the CLASS Act are to provide enrollees with money for long-term care options that support community living and to prevent them from becoming impoverished and turning to Medicaid, according to Kaiser.
Today, Medicaid pays more than 40 percent of all personal care for seniors and others with disabilities, according to Howard Gleckman, a resident fellow at the Urban Institute. The cash payouts provided by the CLASS Act would give families the flexibility to organize long-term care plans, whether they involve in-home care or wheelchairs for mobility.
Criticisms and concerns
The fact that anyone can acquire CLASS coverage regardless of health issues (and can opt in or out at any time) has raised concerns about adverse selection.
The way the system is set up would encourage those who are more likely need long-term care to participate and those who are less likely to need it to opt out, according to the American Academy of Actuaries. In a July 2009 letter to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, the academy pointed out that such a program would need restrictions like waiting periods or penalties for those who opt out and then decide to opt in.
Others, like U.S. Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., have gone as far as calling the CLASS Act a "Ponzi scheme," meaning the government is promising long-term care now for a low price — but won't be able to deliver if too many require benefits at the same time. In 2010, the Heritage Foundation warned that the CLASS Act simply would add to America's "pressing entitlement crisis" — and that it would amount only to a broken promise.
In November 2009, the Congressional Budget Office predicted that the CLASS program as written would generate about $2 billion in savings in the Medicaid program from 2010 to 2019, but that time periods beyond that decade are subject to more uncertainty, with a possibility of greater deficits in the third decade and beyond.
Most CLASS Act provisions have been in effect since Jan. 1, 2011, but the U.S Department of Health and Human Services must work out the details before Americans can start to enroll. CLASS is expected to be up and running in 2013.

Q: react-chartjs integration error. Cannot read property 'xLabels' of undefined I am getting this error while setting up react-chartjs, i am using example given here .
This is the error i am getting:

SECOND PASSPORTS – 10 THINGS OF NOTE: For all the 2nd passport aspirants in the Middle East, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
The RCBI industry has come a long way from being a low profile tax heaven, exclusive to VHNWs, to multi-billion dollar investment channel opening up options to encompass even the higher middle-class professionals and businessmen who are attempting to escape the ever-changing socio-political climate around the world, just within a decade. This unprecedented change was in largely due to nations desperately searching for a quick and efficient fix for the aftermath of the late 2000's economic crisis through foreign direct investment, and has been helped along by others who want to put themselves on the map while supplementing their fiscal budgets.
Unfortunately though, as much as any other industry with this volume of investment, and even more than others in some cases due to the sensitive nature of the subject of immigration and identity, it has been abused and misused from time to time, which has raised alarms in all the wrong places.
As recent as last week, two senior Bulgarian officials have been charged with fraud for granting hundreds of passport per month, as per the public prosecutors on the case, calling it the country's "worst case" of high-level corruption. Last month, the government of the island of Commonwealth of Dominica has sent out warnings against unauthorized discount packages given on behalf of its citizenship by investment program while reiterating the fact that, there hasn't been and won't ever be any offer or discount unless specified clearly by the investment unit. Earlier this year, according to The Washington Post, US officials also uncovered a fraud scheme that allowed foreign nationals to enter the country under false identities that were a result of Hungary's passport system.
As one can imagine, even though some of these accusations are more related to claiming citizenship through falsified lineage, most argue that it has gone unnoticed for so long, as it is hiding under the umbrella of the official residence and citizenship investment programs of these nations. Unlike the aforementioned, others like in the case of the Caribbean nation come as a direct violation of the citizenship and naturalization laws designed by the respective government offices. As it stands, since nations of higher political influence like USA, UK, CANADA and alike are all running one or another form of RCBI programs, nobody seems to be in a position to point fingers without looking like a hypocrite.
1. As of today, there are no officially active citizenship programs for less than USD 100,000. If somebody is offering 'better' figures, it is either that they are planning to run away with your money, or even worse, persuading you to commit a crime against a state by falsifying documents or obtaining the correct ones on wrong particulars.
2. 'LAWYERS' are not the ones getting you the required Residency or Citizenship; 'LAWS' are. The earlier is just a channel to apply the later. "I have a lawyer who can do this/that" is a common sentence in our market which, more often than not, will end up in disappointment.
3. Rely on PROGRAMS as they are always based on some form of Act or extract of an Immigration law. There is almost no program around the world which doesn't have some form of written content stating/implying its existence. Always ask to see these laws or articles if possible.
5. Don't forget that citizenship can always be taken away faster than it can be issued if you have somehow misrepresented yourself in the application process.
6. Know the difference between ACTIVE and PASSIVE investment. Don't try to twist the law by choosing to stay out of a country while holding active investments.
7. Most critically, know the difference between TAX residency and RCBI. The right to apply for a residency/citizenship doesn't necessarily mean you will get it. Understanding this will allow you to manage your legal and financial liabilities.
8. SKILLED LOTTERY is not a program!!! It is a self-help mechanism for you to relocate to some civilized commonwealth nations. If you don't have the skills and expertise to manage this platform by yourself, there is a good chance that you won't survive let alone thrive in a country that you are applying to.
10. Try to deal locally, with an authorized agent and an approved service agreement, as much as possible. That will go a long way in minimizing your initial misgivings about these programs while giving you the opportunity to hold someone accountable in unfortunate circumstances.

New Hampshire's Department of Revenue Administration confirmed yesterday that the state's cigarette tax is going up 25 cents to $1.33 per pack, effective immediately. Many retailers have still not received word of the announcement, which was made after the department determined that the existing $1.08 tax had not raised at least $50 million between July 1 and October 1.
On July 1, neighboring Massachusetts raised its cigarette tax to $2.51 per pack, and New Hampshire retailers convinced the state to hold off on their increase in hopes that cross-border sales would hike tax revenues. The state agreed, but only if the tax could raise an extra $50 million between July 1 and October 1. Otherwise, the tax would go up.
[T]hat's not the way to decide whether excise taxes should be imposed. Excise taxes are justified only to compensate society for the external costs of using a product. There certainly are external costs to smoking. But neither New Hampshire nor the rest of the nation seems to tie cigarette taxes to those costs. That means the excise is a general revenue raiser. And that's a violation of some well-thought-out tax principles.
Turns out the retailers might have actually coughed up the requisite $50 million in time, but the state wouldn't accept a last minute $3 million wire transfer.


The companion to this book, "Protein structure: a practical approach", shows methods of determining the structure of a newly discovered protein, but that is only part of the story. This text completes the picture by providing the techniques for elucidating the functional properties of proteins, which can vary enormously, from simple structural roles to catalysis, from information transmission to energy control. This collection of tried-and-tested protocols will be applicable to many proteins, and can be performed in an average laboratory, without the need for specialized equipment.

The library comprises 44.000 books including 700 incunabula, 1500 (and 500 illuminated) manuscripts. The book cabinet, constructed between 1876 and 1877 by Honoré Daumet as a presentation room and a place for reading and work, does not only include 19.000 volumes, 1500 manuscripts and 17.500 prints, but also one of the most precious manuscripts in the world: Les Très Riches Heures of the Duke of Berry.
The Dutuit Collection, donated to the city of Paris in 1902 and since then kept in the Petit Palais, includes beautiful livres d'heures, exceptional prints, danses macabres and other rare and magnificent items such as manuscripts by La Fontaine and a original edition of Michel de Montaigne's Essais, of which Nodier once said that if he had to keep one book it would be this one.
The personal library of Cardinal Mazarin (1602-1661), former minister of Louis XIV, was made open to the public in 1643; thus it is the oldest public library in France which had kept over 40.000 volumes as early as 1652. Affiliated in 1945 with the Institut de France, the Mazarine is now one of the most important literary and scientific institutions of the Ministry of Education owing rich collections of 16th to 18th century encyclopedias, 19th to 20th century history books and medieval manuscripts.

Sports Betting Embraced by NFL
It was just a little over 2 years ago that lawyers for the NFL stood before the Supreme Court, arguing that, if the Court gave the go-ahead for states to legislate sports betting, it would destroy professional sports. They felt that allowing sports betting would put pro sports in competition with online casinos with special attractions like a casino sign up bonus and more.
In May 2018 SCOTUS handed down a ruling that found that, by disallowing sports betting on a national level, Congress had acted unconstitutionally and states should have the ability to decide whether they want to allow sports betting in their own jurisdictions.
Since the ruling was handed down, over a dozen states have adopted sports betting legislation in one form or another. And no one has been urging them to do so more enthusiastically than the NFL.
Why the turn-around?
Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit, the NFL was warming up to the idea that it could make its peace with sports betting. Last February the NFL gave the go-ahead to its teams to partner with U.S.-licensed betting partners and even to open "betting lounges" at their stadiums. That's a step up from the league's previous allowance of sponsorships with companies who offer sports betting provided that the deal didn't explicitly mention wagering.
The league itself has partnered with Caesars Entertainment as its Official Casino Sponsor. It has signed a wagering partner, Australia's Tabcorp and named DraftKings as its Daily Fantasy Sports Partner despite the new DraftKings focus on sports betting. NFL teams have been given permission to accept sports bets from bettors located in NFL stadiums – betting windows are still off-limits but betting lounges are permitted.
The NFL is even getting ready to hire a vice-president of sports betting to help the team maximize revenue while preserving the "integrity of the games."
In May, the Denver Broncos signed a partnership deal with FanDuel that makes FanDuel its sports betting and fantasy sports partner. The Denver Broncos were the first team to sign a deal but they weren't the last – ore and more teams are jumping on the sports betting wagon. After the Broncos, the New York Jets partnered with MGM Resorts and 888 Casino while the Dallas Cowboys partnered with WinStar Casino. The Baltimore Ravens have set up their partnership with Horseshoe Baltimore (Caesars). Other teams are in talks to create their own deals.
The NFL's once-staunch stand against sports betting is toppling quickly .
Betting Big
The Denver Broncos started the wave of team-sport betting operator partnerships in May. The team signed with three gambling sponsors:
FanDuel Group for stadium signage (won't show up on broadcasts)
BetMGM which will operate the Empower Field stadium's sports betting lounge and a sports betting app (Fans will place their bets through the app)
Betfred USA Sports to operate a sportsbook at Saratoga Casino Black Hawk -- approximately 45 minutes away from Denver.
Mac Freeman, the Broncos' chief commercial officer said, "There's sports betting, there's daily fantasy, there's casinos, so there's a lot of different aspects to these businesses…..I think what you'll find with us carving those first tracks through the field you'll see other teams follow pretty quickly as states come on" board with sports gambling."
Freeman said that by dealing with three different operators, the Broncos aim to "bring order to what was sort of a chaotic environment….Because in the clutter just taking any deal you can get, probably no one actually gets true value out of it. So, I think we got a very favorable response from all of the partners and they were thrilled that we were going to limit these and then work hard to craft space for all of them so we could deliver a real value for them."
|Freeman acknowledges that the new gambling partnerships won't make up for revenue that's been lost because of the coronavirus crisis. The pandemic is forcing the Broncos, as well as many other teams, to open the season without fans. "It's great that we were able to get these deals done. It's material revenue for the organization," said Freeman. "The reality is I think you know the other revenue (dips) we're going to see this year will dwarf what probably we were able to do in this category."
The Broncos won't benefit from bets made by their fans. Freeman explains that the team is embarking on a classic sponsorship structure. The sponsors will pay flat fees to the Broncos for assets that the Broncos can then use to leverage the brands. No shares of any of the actual wagers will return to the team.
The NFL now stands behind such partnerships. League spokesman Brian McCarthy explained that, "The approach to the licensed sports betting has evolved as the league and teams entertain new fan engagement opportunities through commercial partnerships….What has not changed, however, is our relentless protection of the integrity of the game. These new partnerships have no impact on the play on the field. We have continued to study the rapidly changing landscape and felt comfortable with clubs executing partnerships such as these."
Everyone acknowledges, however, that the league and gambling interests are now aligned. NBC commentator Al Michaels says, "We're all on a path to we don't know exactly where, but I'm as curious as anybody. I don't know what the end game is here, I don't know that anybody does. But I do think that it's pretty fascinating that yesterday DraftKing announced that Michael Jordan is going to be part of their operation and on the board, and the stock went up about 10%......It's a fascinating dynamic that's developing right now, and I wish I could predict what's going to happen here, but clearly everybody feels that they want a piece of the pie, of the gambling pie. People are interested in putting down a couple of shekels during the game or even inside the game, not just the end result and how many points will be scored and all of that. But this is a mystery. It's a mystery right now. I don't know where it goes. I do know the leagues are very excited to be a party to what could be a gigantic industry."
The NFL is just getting its feet wet in a sports atmosphere that must of the rest of the world has taken for granted for many years. Cris Collinsworth is co-owner of Pro Football Focus, a UK analytics service that studies and grades every player on every play in every game. "It's kind of interesting, Collingsworth said "With PFF I have a lot of people who are from Europe that work here they laugh at us with all of this because it's been such a part of their culture for so long that you could bet on anything. And when they see the gnashing of teeth and everything that we're going through in this transition period, they just find it very, very entertaining…..and for the rest of the world I guess this is just status quo, but it is very different for us."

CJSC Aviastar-SP () ist eine russische Flugzeugfabrik mit Sitz in Uljanowsk, die 1976 gegründet wurde. Sie ist eine geschlossene Aktiengesellschaft, hat den sowjetischen Uljanowsker Industriekomplex für Luftfahrt (UAPK) ersetzt und fertigt die Frachtflugzeuge Antonow An-124 Ruslan, Iljuschin Il-76 und die gesamte Familie Tupolew-Tu-204 (außer Tu-214).

Geschichte
Der Uljanowsker Industriekomplex für Luftfahrt (), bei der Umwandlung in eine Aktiengesellschaft im November 1991 in Aviastar umbenannt, wurde ab Anfang der 1970er Jahre für die Produktion einer neuen Generation strategischer Bomber (Tu-160) errichtet. Ab 1985 begann das Werk mit dem Bau des schweren Transportflugzeugs An-124, von dem es bis zum Zerfall der Sowjetunion und darüber bis 1995 die mit 33 Exemplaren größte Anzahl dieses Typs (56 % der Produktion) neben dem Kiewer Werk Nr. 473 fertigte. Das Unternehmen gilt als die größte Luftfahrtproduktionsanlage der Welt.

Es produziert das Langstrecken-Transportflugzeug An-124 und das 200-sitzige Mittelstreckenflugzeug Tu-204. Ursprünglich sollte Uljanowsk Flugzeug-, Avionik- und Triebwerkproduktionssanlagen in einem Komplex vereinen, die Avionik- und Triebwerksanlagen sind jedoch noch nicht fertiggestellt worden.

Das Werk besitzt außerdem 40.000 Hektar Ackerland, auf dem es Anfang der 1990er Jahre landwirtschaftliche Erzeugnisse für seine Arbeiter herstellte und zum Verkauf anbot. Aviastar-SP ist eine Tochter des Luftfahrtkonzerns United Aircraft Corporation, der seinerseits der staatlichen Rüstungs- und Technologieholding Rostec gehört.

Argon gas is a gas fill used most often by window manufacturers to displace the air between the panels in windows. This special gas is pumped inside insulated glass units to improve their energy efficiency.
Argon is a non-toxic, odourless gas used on residential windows to prevent frost from forming at the bottom of the window and improve thermal efficiency. By using Argon gas during window installation it offers better insulation.
Using argon gas minimises heat exchange through the window, improving energy efficiency and cutting heating bill costs.
It also reduces the possibility of condensation and frost.


The objective of this study was to compare growth performance and carcass and meat quality characteristics of growing-finishing pigs fed diets containing Roundup Ready wheat (MON 71800), compared with the non-transgenic genetically similar parental control wheat (MON 71900), and four commercial varieties of non-transgenic wheat (HANK, Westbred 926, Express and Zeke). The study was carried out as a split-plot design with a 2 × 6 factorial arrangement of treatments (two genders and six wheat varieties). A three-phase dietary program was used; all diets were formulated with a fixed level of wheat inclusion (70%, 80% and 85% for the Grower, Finisher I and Finisher II phases, respectively). A total of 240 commercial hybrid pigs (equal numbers of barrows and gilts) were grown from 29.5 ± 0.29 to 114.5 ± 2.23 kg live weight in single-gender pens (barrows or gilts) of five pigs (eight pens per dietary treatment) with ad libitum access to feed and water throughout the study. At the end of each dietary phase and of the test period, ultrasound measurements were taken at the 10th rib. Animals from the transgenic (MON 71800) and non-transgenic (MON 71900) treatments were harvested at the end of the study and carcass and meat quality measurements were taken. Pigs fed the six wheat varieties had similar (P > 0.05) feed intake, live weight gain, gain : feed ratio and ultrasound measures of backfat thickness and longissimus muscle area. There was a wheat variety × gender interaction (P < 0.05) for longissimus fat content. Gilts fed the transgenic wheat had higher (P < 0.05) longissimus fat content than those fed the non-transgenic control wheat; however, for barrows there was no effect (P > 0.05) of wheat variety on longissimus fat content. However, there was no effect (P > 0.05) of wheat variety on other longissimus muscle quality or composition measures. Gilts had lower (P < 0.01) feed intake, growth rate and backfat thickness, and similar gain : feed ratio (P > 0.05) compared to barrows. This study, with growing-finishing swine, suggests that the Roundup Ready wheat (MON 71800) resulted in equivalent animal performance to conventional wheat.

Chargers Camp Report: Bolts Host Cowboys for Joint Practice No. 1
Eric Smith
Joint practice No. 1 between the Chargers and Cowboys is in the books.
The teams held the first of two joint sessions Wednesday at Jack Hammett Sports Complex, practicing in full pads for over two hours.
Here are five observations from the 15th day of camp:
1. James limited in return to practice
Derwin James, Jr., hit the practice field Wednesday with a new contract in hand.
The All-Pro had only observed through camp so far, going through walk-throughs and hyping up teammates in drills.
James went through stretches and individual drills Wednesday, but was held out of 1-on-1s, 7-on-7s and full-team drills.
And while it was a beautiful sight to see No. 3 in powder blue getting some work in, the plan is to ease James back into things over the next few weeks.
"We couldn't keep him out of this practice today, this was no easy task ," Chargers Head Coach Brandon Staley said with a laugh. "We're just going to get him through individual [period] this week, making sure that we put them through all of the unchoreographed movement — shoulder pads, helmet, getting that off the ground this week.
"Then, on the game day, working him out in pads," Staley added. "Then, next week, he's going to get back into 7-on-7 and some of the team stuff, but we're going to make sure that we ramp him up the right way. We're going to have to hold him back because it won't be easy."
James, for his part, said he'll be fully ready to go next week. But the All-Pro chess piece said he was just happy to be back out on the field with his teammates.
"Everybody knows how much I love football and how much I want to be out here. It was just hard. I was just taking it day-by-day," James said. "Like I say, controlling what I can control. I knew it would happen, but having the confidence to come out here every day and trying to get myself better in ways that I could."
2. Bolts offense tested by Cowboys
The whole point of joint practices is to get solid work in, especially for players who won't end up seeing action in preseason games.
And when another team arrives in town, that might mean some struggles against players and schemes you haven't prepared for.
That was the case for the Chargers offense Wednesday, as the unit endured some ups and downs against a stout Chargers front seven.
"When you get these joint practices, especially early in training camp, early in the year, there's a lot of learning," said Chargers running back Austin Ekeler. "We didn't know what they were going to come out in and they showed us some looks today, defensively, that we weren't really prepared for. We were kind of figuring it out on the fly.
"They're going to get you sometimes. You're going to get them sometimes. It's a push back and forth," Ekeler added. "Come out, play, you compete, and you try to adjust on the fly. I like that because it puts us in situations where it's a little bit more stress on our team and we're going to see how we are going to react."
The Bolts did find some success in the red zone, as Justin Herbert threw touchdowns to Gerald Everett and Keenan Allen.
The final team period was a 2-minute drill, but the offense quickly faced a third-and-12 after a short completion and a sack. After picking up some yardage to make it fourth-and-1, the offense was then called for a false start.
Herbert hit Allen for a 10-yard gain to move the sticks, but the Bolts stalled after that. They eventually faced and third-and-21 scenario after another sack and couldn't complete the drive.
Earlier in practice, the offense was in a move-the-ball period where they could pick up first downs and progress down the field.
The unit went three-and-out on the first try, and did pick up a first down on the next sequence, but the drive went nowhere after that with a drop on third down.
Staley said he hopes his team improves and gets better by the end of the week.
"This is the perfect place to figure it out. You want to be able to do that," Staley said. "Some of the un-scouted looks, you know what Dallas did last year, but maybe they have added some new things based on new people that they have. That's part of why these practices are valuable, it's so that you can go against somebody else's personnel and scheme, and then test your rules.
"These aren't game-planned practices. We kind of have rules of engagement about making sure that the other side knows what groupings we're playing and stuff like that, but you want to go play ball and figure it out," Staley added. "That's why these practices are awesome. That's a really good defensive group over there. I can't wait to look at the tape."
3. Davis, Van Noy record INTs
(A quick note: I watched the Bolts offense Wednesday, but plan on switching it up and watching the defense Thursday.)
However, there were a few defensive plays that were noteworthy.
First, Michael Davis recorded another interception as he continues to push for a starting spot at the outside cornerback spot.
On Wednesday, Davis was matched up against Cowboys rookie wide receiver Jalen Tolbert on a pass down the left sideline. Davis tracked Tolbert down the field before turning his head and snatching the takeaway.

— Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) August 17, 2022
Staley has praised Davis for his approach and performance in camp, and Wednesday was another strong example of that.
Veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy also took the ball away in the 2-minute situation. The Cowboys started at their own 27-yard line with 1 minute and 42 second left on the clock.
But the Dallas drive lasted just two plays as Van Noy was in the perfect position after a tipped pass to catch an interception.
4. Slater, Feiler strong in 1-on-1 drills
There some juicy matchups — and plenty of star power — in the trenches on Tuesday.
And a pair of Bolts offensive linemen passed their tests with flying colors.
Left tackle Rashawn Slater and left guard Matt Feiler but won their pair of 1-on-1 reps to highlight the Bolts offensive line.
Slater began his day by stymying Dorace Armstrong, but the real fun began when he was matched up against DeMarcus Lawrence on the next rep.
The Pro Bowlers squared off only once, but it was Slater who stood tall by standing Lawrence up off his rush.
Feiler was also solid, getting wins against Osa Odighizuwa and Dante Fowler, Jr., on interior rushes.
Storm Norton split his reps and Trey Pipkins responded well to win a rep after a few tough battles.
Center Corey Linsley did not participate in 1-on-1 drills.
5. Palmer, Guyton shine against Dallas secondary
The best matchup through the air in 1-on-1 drills through the air was Mike Williams against Trevon Diggs.
But that was even as expected, with both players getting the better of each other at times.
Joshua Palmer and Jalen Guyton, however, were clear in their wins against the Cowboys secondary.
Palmer used a double move to get cornerback Anthony Brown twisted around, and later was smooth over the middle to beat cornerback Isaac Taylor-Stuart.
Guyton, meanwhile, showed off his wheels by beating Israel Mukuamu for a deep touchdown that drew big cheers from a packed crowd. He also bested Brown earlier in the drill on a nifty route over the middle.

Rookie Trevon Bradford made a strong catch down the left sideline and later drew a flag.
DeAndre Carter continued to impress by winning multiple reps, including the final 1-on-1 of the day. He used a double move that confused Diggs, who could only yank on Carter's jersey as he breezed past and multiple flags hit the turf.

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for the week of May 7 reveal that Liam (Scott Clifton) made a shocking decision that will have far-reaching consequences for himself and his family. Bill's (Don Diamont) plotting and scheming has seemingly fooled everyone and, due to his deceit, lives will be ruined. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers indicate that Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) will possibly take the news the hardest, while her father tries to solve a mystery.
Hope (Annika Noelle) is elated that Liam finally proposed and she makes some hefty promises to her groom-to-be. In the meantime, Bill takes advantage of Steffy's situation and visits her. He wants her to be with him. According to She Knows Soaps, Steffy will be taken by surprise, and Bold and the Beautiful spoilers state that she stands firm that she wants Liam.
Steffy turns to her brother-in-law and ex-husband Wyatt (Darin Brooks) to speak to Liam on her behalf. Unfortunately, Wyatt won't believe that there is nothing going on between her and Bill. After all, he saw "evidence" of Steffy and Bill's romantic romp with his own eyes.
Hope will give Liam a memento from their past. Other Bold and the Beautiful spoilers indicate that she gives him the original engagement ring he gave her a few years ago. According to Soap Hub, Liam and Hope will make love at some point during the week of May 7.
"Lope" tell family and friends that they're engaged. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers state that they will receive mixed reactions to their news. As far as most people are concerned, Liam is still married to Steffy and they thought that they were getting back together.
Ridge is truly confused about Liam's sudden turnaround. He is trying to piece the puzzle together. The last he saw of Liam, he was on his way to Steffy's and they would try to patch their marriage up. He will soon discover that the common denominator in the story is Wyatt. After Wyatt spoke to Liam and told him that Steffy was cheating on him with Bill, Liam broke Steffy's heart. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for Wednesday, May 9, state that Ridge will tell Steffy about a theory he has been developing about where Liam sourced his information.
Steffy holds out until Thursday, May 10, to confront Hope. Her marriage and daughter's father was just ripped away from her and the wounds are still very raw. Steffy will finally confront the woman who's been after her man for years. However, Steffy's words won't only reach Hope's ears. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers tease that Brooke, Maya, and Rick eavesdrop on the two letting it rip.
Steffy proves that a woman will do anything to keep her husband and father of her child when she pleads with him yet again not to marry Hope. If he goes ahead with the wedding, he will be tearing their family apart forever.
The latest Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for the week of May 7 reveal that Ridge has had enough of Bill. He has been avoiding him for weeks but now that his daughter's marriage is in ruins, he confronts Ridge hoping to prove his suspicions.

Criminals in the UK do not find it difficult to sell stolen goods, according to new research released by Halifax Home Insurance.
The findings show that as much as £247 million worth of goods are bought from street traders and over a third of people said they would not worry about the moral implications of buying stolen property if they were being offered a bargain.
Illegal trade of goods in the UK could be actively helping and encouraging thieves, the home insurance provider has warned.
The average value of household items in the UK is around £5,000 but the research suggests there is a lack of concern about where the goods being bought might have come from.
Vicky Emmott, senior underwriter at Halifax Home Insurance, commented: "The British public has become a soft target for criminals wanting to offload stolen goods."
"It is important that the public report illegal traders to the police and ensure they only purchase goods from authorised sources," she added.
Halifax also offers mortgages, bank accounts and credit cards.

Why Avid Bioservices Stock Surged 14% Today
The stock will be part of a well-known index.
Eric Volkman
(TMFVolkman)
Oct 26, 2021 at 6:39PM
Eric has been writing about stocks and finance since the mid-1990s, when he lived in Prague, Czech Republic. Over the course of a varied career, he has also been a radio newscaster, an investment banker, and a bass player in a selection of rock and roll bands. A native New Yorker, he currently lives in Los Angeles.
The stock market's relatively smaller companies dream of inclusion on a major equity index, as it raises their visibility and puts them on the radar of index funds. Tuesday was Avid Bioservices' (NASDAQ:CDMO) turn in the spotlight. News that the company will soon be a component of a notable index sent its shares 14% higher on the day.
Effective prior to the start of trading this Friday, Oct. 29, Avid will join the S&P SmallCap 600 index. It is replacing current index component Cadence Bancorporation, as that company is being acquired by peer financial sector company BancorpSouth. The deal is likely to close at, or close to, that date.
As its name implies, the S&P SmallCap 600 index tracks 600 notable small-cap stocks in order to provide a sense of how that asset class is performing overall.
In the press release trumpeting its graduation to the index, Avid -- a biologics contract development and manufacturing organization, or CDMO -- implied that it is well deserving of inclusion. This "is a further demonstration of the momentum that Avid continues to generate as we successfully execute against our comprehensive growth strategy," the company quoted CEO Nick Green as saying.
While a spot on a well-known index is one of the best free pieces of publicity a company can receive, we should remember that it changes little to nothing about its fundamental business. Avid still has to deliver for its shareholders, and now it has to perform impressively enough for those index funds to consider it a worthy portfolio addition.


This is the story of my decision to change color lines. I am not kidding when I say that updating color lines is not a decision to be taken lightly. A complete inventory swap needs to occur including the color, associated product, and even some of my stylist tools. That is only the beginning because then I need to learn everything there is to know about the characteristics of the color down to the chemistry and how it interacts with various hair types. The last and most important aspect of changing out a color line is performing a complete reformulation for all of my clients. This involves testing the color on swatches until I get it nuanced just right.
Please know that I can get really geeky about color and go on for pages, but I will try to keep it brief!
About four months ago, one of the product representatives from Maka came in to tell me about a great color line that I should be using. Someone is always in the salon trying to sell us on the new "great color line" and I frankly hadn't been thinking about changing lines. As I mentioned earlier, I am a bit of a color geek, so I decided to give her presentation a listen.
At the end of the sales pitch she challenged me and one of the other stylists to a mannequin head challenge. Yes!
The challenge consisted of the three of us comparing the same level and shade of red on various quadrants of the mannequin's hair. Each of us mixed our own red that we normally use while the representative mixed her new color. She applied all three mixtures to various quadrants of the mannequin's head. We left the mannequin to process for a little less than an hour.
After shampooing and blow drying the head, it was time to see the results. The Alfaparf color had most vibrant, deep, and shiny look that I have ever seen. The thing that was even more surprising was the softness of the hair. It felt great! It was even better than before the color treatment.
If you get your hair colored red, you know that the toughest part is keeping it from fading. So, I decided to give the color a try to see how it would hold up on my hair. I went for an intense red and the color came out beautiful. However, I was not sold yet because it always looks great the first day, but then starts to fade and the hair gets a coppery-orange tone. I am happy to report that after six weeks of having the Alfaparf color, it has only minimally faded and hasn't changed tone.
I've been a stylist for 20 years and this is the best color line I've worked with. I am telling you this color is amazing; every color I have used has been true to swatch. I have also been able to get 100% grey coverage that never has that "hollow" look.
Now for even geekier stuff. It's got the lowest ammonia content of any professional color at 0.7%. It also has no Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) which can sometimes aggravate the scalp more that ammonia will.
At your next appointment ask me to see and feel the mannequin's hair, you will be pleased. Well, as pleased as you can be feeling a mannequin head!


Looking forward to taking part again in this really inspirational Fair in London on 3 March. It is not only a feast for the eyes but also gets the juices flowing when you see such a range of stallholders with shedloads of amazing style. Everyone is different, but all passionate about what they do. Please come along and say hello.

Home Latest News 'Breathless' winner makes it in the nick of time!
'Breathless' winner makes it in the nick of time!
While Shane was over the moon with his win, he very nearly didn't make it to the awards ceremony after a spate of unfortunate travel issues.
"I was shocked when our name was read out as the winner — I literally arrived at the ceremony 10 minutes before my category was read out. I was still trying to do my tie and catch my breath," Mr Stone says.
"My flight from Wanganui to Auckland was cancelled because the plane hit seagulls, so we were put on a bus to Palmerston North to catch a flight from there, which we ended up missing too. The odds seemed stacked against me, and it really was a race against the clock to get there in time."
This is the second year Shane Stone Builders Ltd has entered House of the Year. Last year they entered a small commercial job, intending to find out how the competition works. However, this year they entered the competition with the intention of winning.
Mr Stone says it was an honour to win the award, and he encourages anyone thinking about entering the competition to do it.
"We received a huge amount of attention from the media and the public — we had people coming up to us in the street and congratulating us! Before entering the competition we actually had a client choose another company over us, because the other player had won the Supreme Award in Wanganui," he says.
"The point of difference for our winning this house was its crispness. We paid so much attention to detail, and I think it was this meticulousness that ultimately won us the award.
"If you want to win, you really need to give it your all. Now, every time we start a house we start knowing our objective is to enter it in House of the Year. It's something to work towards.
"Winning was such a reward for all the hard work we have put in over the past four years — if you have a house you think is worth entering, go for it. It's well worth it."
House of the Year judges hailed the winning three-bedroom Wanganui home as a stand-out example of the simple things done well.
"Owning a warm and dry home has huge appeal, especially with the benefits that make life easier, which ensure that the home is comfortable and warm," they said.
Mr Stone loved being part of House of the Year, and has every intention of entering this year too.
"At this stage, we're looking to enter the Builder's Own Home and one other category," he says.
"Clients really recognise what it means to place in this competition, which is fantastic. Even telling clients that I am a Registered Master Builder speaks volumes."
The Awards are made possible through the support of PlaceMakers, James Hardie, Gib®, Nulook, MBIE – Building and Housing, Future-Proof Building, Carters, ITM, Plumbing World, Resene and Westpac.
For more information about the competition, visit the Registered Master Builders web site at www.masterbuilder.org.nz.

Fairlawn is a working class and middle class residential neighborhood in southeast Washington, D.C., United States. It is bounded by Interstate 295, Pennsylvania Avenue SE, Minnesota Avenue SE (between Pennsylvania Avenue SE and Naylor Road SE), Naylor Road SE (between Minnesota Avenue SE Good Hope Road SE), and Good Hope Road SE.

History

The Nacotchtank Native Americans were the first settlers to inhabit the area now known as Fairlawn, living and fishing along the nearby Anacostia River. Captain John Smith was the first European to visit the region in A.D. 1612, naming the river the "Nacotchtank". War and disease decimated the Nacochtank, and during the last 25 years of the 17th century the tribe ceased to exist as a functional unit and its few remaining members merged with other local Piscataway tribes.

European settlement in Southeast Washington first occurred in 1662 at Blue Plains (now the site of the city's sewage treatment plant just to the west of the modern neighborhood of Bellevue), and at St. Elizabeth (now the site of St. Elizabeths Hospital psychiatric hospital) and Giesborough (now called Barry Farm) in 1663. In 1663, Lord Baltimore granted ownership of the majority of the area on the south bank of the Anacostia River to George Thompson.

The area became part of the District of Columbia in 1791. Congress passed the Residence Act of 1790 to establish a federally owned district in which would be built the new national capital, and George Washington picked the current site in 1791 (a choice ratified by Congress later that year). William Marbury, a wealthy Georgetown merchant who later was a party in the landmark Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court case, purchased much of the "Chichester tract" some time in the late 18th or early 19th century.

The growth of the Washington Navy Yard created the need to provide housing for the many new employees working at the facility, but little land was available for new construction in the area and housing prices were high.  Consequently, in 1818, the privately owned "Upper Navy Yard Bridge" was built over the Anacostia River at 11th Street SE. This toll bridge was designed to permit easy access to Anacostia so that housing could be constructed on the eastern shore of the Anacostia River. A road was built from the bridge to the town of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and named Upper Marlborough Road (called Good Hope Road SE today), while another road ran roughly parallel to the river and was named Piscataway Road (then in the late 19th century "Asylum Road" and in the 20th century "Nichols Avenue", and is now Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE).

In the late 1820s or early 1830s, Marbury sold his land to Enoch Tucker, a farmer who rented out part of the land to tenant farmers and built his home near the intersection of Upper Marlborough Road and Piscataway Road. Developers John Dobler, John Fox, and John W. Van Hook purchased the 240-acre (97.2 hectare) area immediately southwest of Fairlawn from Enoch Tucker on June 5, 1854, for $19,000 and immediately subdivided the property into lots for houses. Naming the area Uniontown (it is the neighborhood of Anacostia today), the development became Washington's first "suburban" community. Van Hook (the lead developer) renamed streets in the area after former presidents:  Upper Marlborough Road was now called "Harrison Street," and Piscataway Road now known as "Monroe Street".

Dr. Arthur Christie, a wealthy Englishman, purchased 50 acres (20.25 hectares) of land on the north side of Harrison Street (now the lower portion of Good Hope Road SE) and named his estate Fairlawn. The Fairlawn neighborhood derives its name from Christie's estate.

Racially restrictive covenants were used in early 20th century Fairlawn to keep the neighborhood exclusively white. A Washington Times real estate advertisement from October 1911 listed "NO NEGROES" as one of the neighborhood's supposed "advantages".

Fairlawn remained largely undeveloped farm and woodland until 1940. Uniontown/Anacostia, Barry Farm, Congress Heights, and Randle Highlands were the focus of most housing and retail development. Even these communities remained isolated from one another, and most of the land between them was forest until World War II. The oppressive need for housing during the war, brought about by a massive influx of federal workers to the capital, led to extensive building of homes in Fairlawn and the linking of the neighborhood with other parts of southeast D.C.

The southern part of the Washington Metro's Green Line was originally designed to pass over the 11th Street Bridges to the intersection of Good Hope Road SE and Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE. The site of the Anacostia Metro station at this intersection led to concerns that the Metro station would destroy the character of historic Anacostia and Fairlawn, and after pressure from the federal government Metro moved the site of the station to its current location on Howard Road SE.

Notable establishments and place names in Fairlawn
Two public schools, Anacostia Senior High School and Kramer Middle School, are located in Fairlawn. Naylor Road School, a private school (grades K through 8), is also in the neighborhood. The Anacostia Branch of the District of Columbia Public Library is located in Fairlawn at 1800 Good Hope Road SE.

The large Marbury Plaza apartment building complex (2300 and 2330 Good Hope Road SE) in the Fairlawn neighborhood is named for William Marbury. Naylor Road SE is named for the Naylor family, whose farm constituted much of southern and southeastern portion of Fairlawn.  Good Hope Road SE is named for the town of Good Hope, D.C., founded in 1820 around a tavern located near the current intersection of Good Hope Road SE and Alabama Avenue SE.

The Anacostia Gateway building (1800 Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE) was built by the District of Columbia in Fairlawn at the intersection of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE and Good Hope Road SE.  As of January 2010, it houses the D.C. Department of Housing and Economic Development. The Anacostia Gateway building will be a terminus of the Anacostia Line of the DC Streetcar trolley system, under construction as of December 2009.

The easternmost portion of Fort Dupont Park runs along T Street SE, Naylor Road SE, and Altamont Place SE in the Fairlawn area. The park adjoins Fort Stanton Park at Good Hope Road SE.

OVER 2,000 INVESTORS FROM 34 COUNTRIES PILE INTO BUX AS IT SMASHES €1 MILLION CROWDFUND
BUX has raised €1,289,892 from 2,047 investors
Over €1.1m was invested within 24 hours of going public
Capital will fund aggressive European expansion as BUX seeks to become the one-stop-shop for all investment interests
London, 23rd November 2017: Next generation trading app BUX has raised a total of €1,289,892 in just two weeks of being live on equity crowdfunding platform Seedrs. The Dutch-based company surpassed their initial €1 million target within just 24 hours of their public launch.
The raise has attracted 2,047 investors from their own community of BUXsters as well as the crowd, who all clamoured to get in on the round which is on exactly the same terms and valuation as some of Europe's leading VC's. The funding round will officially close tomorrow, Friday the 24th November.
Out of the €1.2m invested, the majority of funds came from first-time investors in the Seedrs platform. 1,537 new investors, 75% of the total, invested €1,053,865 into BUX's campaign. These investors came from 34 different countries, with the largest group coming from BUX's home country of the Netherlands.
The company's inaugural crowdfund follows the Company's successful €10.6 Series C round in early October, led by Germany's Holtzbrinck Ventures, one of Europe's most successful venture capital firms. Velocity Capital also supported the round together with a number of influential angel investors, including former Booking.com CMO Arthur Kosten and Thierry Schaap, co-founder of online brokerage firm BinckBank.
BUX intends to use the funds raised from the crowd to expand its product offering in order to offer a full suite of apps by 2020; these will range from short-term trading, to long-term investing. Over the next year, BUX will start with a long term investment app and is also aiming at launching a crypto app due to substantial user interest. Investing in cryptocurrencies remains very cumbersome, with a number of risks involved, thus alienating many regular investors. However, BUX's mission is to make such intimidating aspects of investing easier, without taking on too much risk, which is exactly what's needed to make crypto investing more mainstream.
Ultimately, by 2020 BUX aims to be the single destination for those who would like to do more with their money. Whether it is to explore the stock markets by short term trading or whether it's to invest for the long term. For every investment need, there will be a BUX solution.
BUX Founder & CEO Nick Bortot said: "We were delighted to reach our investment target within 24 hours of opening the round to the public, and are thrilled with the result of the total round. We're overwhelmed by the interest we received and are excited to welcome the whole new team of investors, advocates, and hopefully users. We would like to say a huge thank you to the BUXsters and supporters who have recognised the potential of BUX; their dedication and support of the brand over the last three years is what has helped us get to where we are today. We continue to be committed to developing our products in order to improve and enhance their BUXster experience."

R v ANGIE VALERIE CHAPMAN : R v ZOE NINA CHAPMAN (2003)
There had been no inconsistency where defendants had been convicted of violent disorder but acquitted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm as threats of violence made were distinct from the assault and the judge had directed the jury to reach separate verdicts. Hearsay evidence was wrongly admitted but it did not render the conviction unsafe.Appeal with leave of the single judge against convictions for violent disorder, contrary to s.2(1) Public Order Act 1986 imposed on 14 May 2002 at Croydon Crown Court. The defendants ('B' and 'C') were acquitted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and a co-defendant ('D') was convicted of both charges. On 11 January 2002 the two victims were at a bowling alley where they noticed B, C and D and their boyfriends who had all been drinking and were being very loud. The victims left but were confronted outside. C shouted abuse and asked if the victims wanted a fight. B joined in, shouting in the face of one of the victims. One of the victims was punched in the face and fell to the ground and D punched another of the victims. The police arrived and arrested the defendants. In a later interview C's mother, who acted as the appropriate adult, said that C was drunk. At trial both B and C denied being drunk or hitting the victims. On an application by the Crown the Recorder admitted C's mother's comment in evidence. In evidence D's boyfriend stated that D did not have a violent nature. None of the defendants were of good character. However, when summing up the Recorder mentioned the evidence of D's boyfriend and gave a good character direction. B and C appealed conviction on the ground that the conviction for count one, violent disorder, was inconsistent with the acquittal on count two, assault occasioning actual bodily harm. C further appealed on the grounds that: (i) the judge should not have allowed in evidence the remark of her mother, either as it was hearsay; and (ii) as the judge treated D as having good character he should have given a similar direction for her.HELD: (1) Violent disorder covered both the use and threat of unlawful violence. There was enough evidence to convict the defendants of violent disorder as threats made were distinct from the assault. The statutory definition required at least three persons threatening or using unlawful violence. It would be wrong to subject evidence to excessively minute examination, there were three girls together and the fact that a particular threat was uttered by one girl or a particular threat and gesture was made by another did not mean it could not be attributed to all three. There was no inconsistency in the verdicts as the verdicts in count one and two did not stand or fall together, the judge directed the jury to reach separate verdicts on each count. (2) The evidence of C's mother's comment was plainly hearsay. The only possible basis for it being admitted was to put before the jury the reaction of C to her mother making that comment, and it was extremely doubtful whether it should even be admitted for that purpose. However, admitting the evidence had not rendered the conviction unsafe as there was a great deal of evidence that C was heavily under the influence of drink and the introduction into evidence of the statement was immaterial. (3) C did not lead any evidence to suggest she was not violent, therefore it was not possible to give a direction in the same terms as that for D.Appeals dismissed.
