Happy Reformation month everyone! In honor of the 501st Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation we will be releasing a series of two lectures about the life of Martin Luther given at Wesley Chapel (our church) last year. This is the first lecture. We know that Luther was not Arminius or Wesley, but there would have never been an Arminius or Wesley if it were not for Luther! Don't forget that Wesley was regenerated while listening to the reading of Luther's Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. Enjoy this first lecture and Happy Reformation Day from all of us here at Remonstrance Podcast.


Why did Ruth Ellis murder her lover David Blakely in cold blood?
Hailing from Rhyl, North Wales, Ruth moved to London in 1941, where she worked as a model and a nightclub hostess. She met her future husband, a dentist, George Ellis, at the Court Club. In 1951, she gave birth to a daughter, Georgina.
The couple split up soon afterwards, and Ruth went back to nightclub work, becoming the manager of the Little Club in 1953.
There, she was lavished with expensive gifts by admirers, and had a number of celebrity friends.
She met ex public school boy David Blakely, three years her junior, through racing driver Mike Hawthorn.
Soon living with Ruth in her flat above the club, they had a passionate relationship, but violent rows escalated.
According to Ruth, during one of these altercations, in January 1955, Blakely punched her in the stomach, which allegedly caused her to miscarry his baby.
Both heavy drinkers, he had other women, yet was jealous of Ruth's flirting with club members.
Ruth began seeing Desmond Cussens, 32, and the love triangle came to a head on the Easter weekend that April.
Blakely hid with friends and refused to see her or answer her desperate telephone calls.
On Easter Sunday evening Ruth Ellis took a loaded revolver to a pub called the Magdala, near Hampstead Heath station.
The moment he stepped outside, Ruth fired two bullets at Blakely, then more shots into him as he lay bleeding on the pavement.
Ruth Ellis calmly told the bystanders to call the police and surrendered to an off-duty policeman, who'd been in the pub.
Blakely died by the time he reached hospital.
At her trial in June 1955, Ellis declined to plead insanity and maintained she had acted under provocation.
At The Old Bailey, after a two-day hearing, the jury took just 14 minutes to find Ruth guilty of murder, and she was sentenced to death.
Ellis did not appeal against her conviction, but the public rallied to show their support.
Home Secretary Major Lloyd George rejected appeals to reprieve her.
The night before her execution, the Prison Governor at Holloway was forced to call for police reinforcements as a crowd of 500 massed outside the prison's gates singing and chanting for Ruth.
Up at 6.30am on her final morning, 13 July 1955, she'd a tot of brandy, and was perfectly composed.
A silent crowd, including women with prams, collected around Holloway waiting for the execution at 9am.
At 9.18am, notice of Ellis' death was posted and the crowd surged forwards, blocking the road and stopping traffic.
Ellis's daughter Georgie, campaigned her entire life for her mother's name to be cleared.
She died from cancer, age 50, in 2001, never seeing her mother's name cleared.
In 2003, judges rejected an appeal made on Ruth's behalf, and upheld the original murder conviction.

You Can Buy M Rated Games Digitally Underage on Nintendo, Plus Ace Attorney Sales and Demo!
By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Nintendo DOES listen, and now is your best time to buy into Ace Attorney.
You need to be aware of two concepts to understand how important this information is:
Nintendo renovated their online (Internet, not from the eShop application) digital store relatively recently.
KoopaTV waged a major initiative to get Nintendo to allow sub-17 year old 3DS eShop users to purchase M-rated games if their parents allowed it, to parallel brick & mortar purchases. Because of how Nintendo Network IDs and the eShop worked, this was impossible even with parental permission. This ultimately ended in a Nintendo representative more-or-less suggesting for younger users to call them and say they entered their birth year wrong when filling out their NNID, prompting the Nintendo customer service person to change the birth year to an older time.
That second point was always a temporary, awkward roundabout way, pending Nintendo making real change.
Well, as of point #1 happening, that real change happened. (KoopaTV made a real difference in the world, folks.) This was confirmed by Miiverse user and huge Ace Attorney fan Maddie, who is an under-17 years old fangirl who has been wanting to play Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Dual Destinies for several years now. Take a look:
"*sniff* I-I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOR SO LONG! *cries tears of joy*"
She's still under 17 and has been under 17 under her entire Miiverse career. Yet she is now a proud and very happy owner of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Dual Destinies. How is that possible? Nintendo's website apparently does exactly what we wanted it to. Apparently, the only thing stopping you is an age verification screen, which shows up even if you're logged in with an NNID on Nintendo's site already:
Maddie wasn't necessarily lying to Nintendo at this screen — she could've had a parent or guardian fill this out.
If you have the payment methods to buy something from the Nintendo eShop applications on the Wii U or 3DS — a credit/debit card or a Nintendo eShop card (which we give out on KoopaTV as prizes for your loyalty to the site) — then you have the payment methods to buy something from Nintendo's site.
And you should. Because if you haven't bought Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Dual Destinies or Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy yet, it's time for yet another sale. The last sale was in May, and Dual Destinies was 50% off while Ace Attorney Trilogy was 40% off.
Drum roll, please.
HEY. KLAVIER. KLAVIER GAVIN. WHERE THE HELL DID YOUR DRUMMER GO?
I NEED A DRUM ROLL. I EVEN SAID PLEASE.
Until August 18, you can purchase these games — from your 3DS's eShop application or online — for $11.99 for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Dual Destinies and $16.49 for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy! That's 60% off and 45% off, the most discounted these games have ever been! Will they get any lower? That's a dangerous game to play, so you might as well get them right now.
As a bonus, the events of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, included in the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy compilation, are happening in real-time in 2016. You can't get much better than that, huh, Wright?
...Oh. Yes you can. Because CAPCOM has given us two more morsels of information:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Spirit of Justice, the sequel to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Dual Destinies, will be released in North America this September 8. That is less than a month from now!
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Spirit of Justice will have an eShop demo released on August 25th... less than two weeks from now!
Don't know whether or not you want to try these games out to begin with? The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Dual Destinies eShop demo is still up. Download that. You'll love it. Then you'll want to buy the games on sale.
It's the just thing to do. And then you'll know what I mean when I reference the series for things like the Dark Age of the Law. You'll also enjoy it for non-KoopaTV-referential reasons, of course. Guaranteed. Oh, and all of the other Ace Attorney games, including Spirit of Justice, are all rated T by the ESRB besides Dual Destinies.
Ludwig and the entirety of KoopaTV's current staff all strongly endorse the Ace Attorney franchise. There's no better endorsement than that. Ludwig would normally write "in the meantime ..." in this footer, but that implies it's acceptable behaviour to hold off on playing the Ace Attorney series.
Speaking of real-time, Joe Darke was out killing people in late 2014.
Fortunately, he got arrested in early 2015... but not without killing another dude.
Hillary Clinton tried to make buying M-rated games underaged totally illegal in America, along with a host of other industry-killing regulations. Don't vote for her.
The demo has come out! How was it? You should get it.
September 8 has arrived, and the game is released!
You thought those discounts were good? How about Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy for 50% off... and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — Spirit of Justice on sale, too?
Samantha Lienhard August 13, 2016 at 8:47 AM
Three cheers for all this Ace Attorney news!
Huh... the Gavinners theoretically had a drummer, but we've never seen one. Or most of the other band members. I looked it up and they're a five-person band, but we only ever saw... two? XD
Ludwig Von Koopa August 13, 2016 at 8:54 AM
You would think the other members of the band would at least be mentioned, if not outright brought to court as witnesses.
...Or you'd also think they would BE ON THE STAGE WHILE THE BAND IS PERFORMING.
Samantha Lienhard August 13, 2016 at 11:10 AM
I listened to the song again, and there's clearly supposed to be a drummer. Maybe he is very small and hidden by the drum set. XDD
Ludwig Von Koopa August 13, 2016 at 12:59 PM
Yeah, what's listening to it one more time?
I wonder how many songs Guitar Serenade has beat out in terms of the number of times the song has played in an Apollo Justice playthrough.
I'm not sure if a midget is effective as a drummer or as a cop, but this is 2026 and anti-discrimination laws must be even more protective than they are now!
Kody B. August 14, 2016 at 9:52 PM
When Dual Destinies released, I thought it was odd that I was able to play the demo but not purchase the full game itself. Why would Nintendo tease me like that?
'cause they hate making money.
ShinyGirafarig August 16, 2016 at 2:09 PM
The timing is great because then I could get this for my planned California trip. Not getting the demo dine I don't was to do the first case twice back to back.
Ludwig Von Koopa August 16, 2016 at 8:28 PM
" Not getting the demo dine I don't was to do the first case twice back to back."
I don't want to redo the case so soon after already playing it.
Well, the previous demos for the games didn't cover the whole case, and also were edited a bit.
JJ1013 April 20, 2019 at 10:23 AM
"There's something wrong with Mom, so I'm trying to fix her!"
Ludwig Von Koopa April 20, 2019 at 12:21 PM
...Yuuuuuuuuuuup.

Q: How do I Resolve dependancies that rely on transient context data using castle windsor? I have a WCF service application that uses a component called EnvironmentConfiguration that holds configuration information for my application.  I am converting this service so that it can be used by different applications that have different configuration requirements.
I want to identify the configuration to use by allowing an additional parameter to be passed to the service call i.e.
public void DoSomething(string originalParameter, string callingApplication)

What is the recommended way to alter the behaviour of the EnvironmentConfiguration class based on the transient data (callingApplication) without having to pass the callingApplication variable to all the component methods that need configuration information?

A: It seems you want to make your service multi-tenant. Take a look at this article about Windsor and multi-tenancy. Passing a "callingApplication" parameter is not the best way to do this. Identify your calling application using something like a SSL certificate, a custom HTTP header (assuming you're using some HTTP endpoints), etc.

Debate and discussion: Red and Yellow and Green and Blue
Submitted by Anon on 17 July, 2004 - 7:57
In the 19 June issue of Socialist Worker there is an article bemoaning the failure of the Green Party to agree an electoral alliance with Respect. This is used as an excuse for the failure of a great electoral breakthrough.
But people who think the Greens are any kind of radical alternative to Labour and worthy partners in left electoral alliances should take note of what has happened in Leeds.
In the local elections Labour lost control of the council for the first time since 1980 - though they are the biggest party with 40 seats. Now the Lib Dems (second biggest party), the Tories and the Greens have agreed to a governing alliance. This will rule the council for two years. Yes, the Tories!
In Leeds the teaching unions, together with education workers in the GMB and UNISON have balloted for action to avoid compulsory redundancies. The unions were close to getting the Labour council to not make redundancies. The Tories are unlikely to agree to this policy. But what will the Greens do to stop thier new friends?

Q: Unable to reference SQLite.interop.dll Okay, I know this has been asked a few time on here but none of the advice helps.  I downloaded SQLite, went into the bin and got the DLLs from there.  I'm trying to publish a SQLite interface and when I compile and run this is what I get

I've tried adding the .DLL through the nuget manager in VS 2015 and manually.  Both ways through the following error message.

I'm at my wits end.  I don't know what to do.
Here's the code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Data.SQLite;

namespace ConsoleApplication11
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string db = @"URI = file:C:\Users\Mason\Documents\test.db";

            try
            {
                var con = new SQLiteConnection(db);
                con.Open();
                var cmd = new SQLiteCommand(con);

                cmd.CommandText = "select * from test";
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

                Console.Read();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                Console.Read();
            }

        }
    }
}

A: You can't add SQLite.Interop.dll as a reference.
The good news is... you don't need to.
It just needs to be available for the managed SQLite assemblies to use.
So do this instead...
Copy the correct SQLite.Interop.dll build (x86,x64) to your project folder, and include it in your project as you would with any file (image, icon, etc.).
Then, in its Properties set:
Build Action to Content
Copy to Output Directory to Copy Always
Rebuild and Enjoy!

Of Particular significance is the Working Draft Environmental Statement Consultation. The Phase 2B Environmental Statement will set out how HS2 Ltd plan to build this section of the railway in North Warwickshire. This will include its impact upon the local environment, residential properties and businesses, highways and the local economy.


The jet age is epitomized by the legendary Century series of fighters.
The Century series aircraft, were tasked with defending the American homeland from the Soviet forces at the height of the Cold War, fighting a tenacious enemy over Vietnam and were also the backbone of NATOs nuclear strike force. They have been used as interceptors, bombers, reconnaissance and in nearly every conceivable role in between.
Evolved from wartime German research records, the Convair F-102 and the 2 seat TF-102A was the first delta wing fighter to enter service. Its frontline career was brief but 3 times as many "Deuces" were built then its successor, and saw service with far more units, including 2 foreign airforces.
The F-102 was developed from the XF-92A delta wing research aircraft of the late 1940s. The Air Force took a new approach in putting out the request for proposals for an operational interceptor, considering both the aircraft and armament together in what became known as a "weapon system". The RFP for Project MX-1554 went out 18 June 1950, and in January 1951 six manufacturers responded, of which Convair, Lockheed, and Republic were chosen to proceed with design. Three of these projects were too expensive, and in November, only Convair was allowed to continue with its Model 8-80, an interim project using the less-powerful Westinghouse J40 turbojetin lieu of the Wright J67 which was still in development.The YF-102 made its first flight on 24 October 1953, but was lost in an accident nine days later.
The second aircraft flew on 11 January 1954, confirming a dismal performance: Approximately 812 mph, while supersonic, it was far below the requirements. The problem was solved by the use of the area rule, which entailed narrowing the aircraft down in the mid-section, moving the cockpit and intakes back further, blending the outer contours of the intake duct, lengthening the nose and adding two fairings on either side of the engine nozzle, resulting in the new "'YF-102A design'". The new design was more than twice as fast as the non-area ruled design.
The "'YF-102A'", however was not exactly the same as the production F-102A design in that its nose was considerably longer than the "'F-102A". Somewhere along the way, the Wright J-67 was cancelled, and the J-40 was replaced with a Pratt & Whitney J-57. The production F-102A had the Hughes MG-3 fire control system, later upgraded in service to the MG-10. It had a three-segment internal weapons bay under the fuselage for air to air missiles. Initial armament was three pairs of GAR-1 Falcon missiles, a mix of infrared and semi active radar homing. The doors of the two forward bays each had tubes for 12 x 2.75 in FFAR rockets (for a total of 24). The F-102 was later upgraded to allow the carriage of an GAR-11 Nuclear Falcon missiles in the center bay. The larger size of this weapon required redesigned center bay doors with no rocket tubes. Plans were considered to fit the MB-1 Genie nuclear rocket to the design, but it was never adopted.
The first operational service of the F-102A was with the 327th Fighter - Interceptor squadron at George Air Force Base, in April 1956, and eventually a total of 889 were built. The F-102's official name, "Delta Dagger" was never used in common parlance, with the aircraft being universally known as the "Deuce."
The F-102 served in Vietnam, flying fighter patrols and serving as bomber escorts. A total of 15 aircraft were lost in Vietnam: one to air-to-air combat, several to ground fire and the remainder to accidents.
In 1973, six aircraft were converted to target drones as QF-102A and later PQM-102 series, simulating MiG 21s. This began a program where hundreds of F-102s were converted for use as target drones for F-4 and F-106 aircraft as well as later F-15 aircraft and testing of the US Army's Patriot missile system.
Some F-102As were configured to accommodate a single AIM-26 Super Falcon in each side bay in lieu of the conventional 2 x AIM-4 Falcons.
The F-102 and TF-102 were exported overseas to both Turkey and Greece, with those aircraft seeing combat missions during the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. There have been claims of air combat between Greek F-5s and Turkish F-102s. The Greeks claimed to have shot down two F-102s while the Turks claim to have shot down an F-5; however, both sides deny losses. The F-102 was finally retired from both of those air forces in 1979. The F-102 left US service in 1976, while the last PQM-102 drone was expended in 1986. No F-102s remain in flyable condition today although many can be seen at museums.
YF-102 - The first prototypes: Performance was unsatisfactory; drag was twice as high as it should have been due to interference-effects. Maximum Speed: 812 miles per hour.
YF-102A - Area-ruled prototypes: New design featured a fuselage that was narrow in the mid-section, with aerodynamic fairings added on either side of the engine-nozzle to conform to the area-rule. Additionally, cockpit and intakes were moved further aft, the nose lengthened, and the outer contours of inlets were blended with the forward fuselage.
F-102A - Production Model: Single-seat all-weather interceptor fighter aircraft. Nose shorter than original F-102A, but featuring more powerful J-57 turbojet. 889 built.
TF-102A - Two-seat training version, 111 built.
F-102B - The original designation of the F-106A.
QF-102A - Two piloted target drones, (converted from the F-102A).
PQM-102A - 200+ unpiloted target drones, (converted from F-102A).
PQM-102B - Unpiloted target drones.

"I Do it for the Money!"
Harry Beckwith says, "people don't lead, purposes do." I once worked with a client who became a firm believer in this statement recently. He is the son who inherited a successful 20-year-old family business about two years ago and is now struggling to pay the bills. He has been drifting away from the company's core business and has become distracted.
"I do it for the money!" he replied.
After continuing to probe, he could not come up with one reason as to why he took over the business other than money. It became very clear to both of us that he had no passion or purpose in running this business, hence the direction it was going.
When you work within this "sweet spot", the company will be more effective and more profitable, and you'll have more fun. When you don't, you'll become distracted by "shiny stuff", lose focus, and the business will suffer.

About Liquid War
Play the game (a quick set up guide)
Liquid War is a unique multiplayer action game. Gameplay takes place on a 2D battlefield, usually with some obstacles. Each player (2 to 6, computer or human) has an army of particles and a cursor. The objective of the game is to assimilate all enemy particles. The players can only move their cursors and cannot directly control the particles. Each particle follows the shortest path around the obstacles to its team's cursor. A player may have up to several thousands particles at a time, giving the collection of particles a look of a liquid blob. When a particle moves into a particle from a different team, it will fight and if the opponent particle fails to fight back (it is not moving in the opposite direction) it will eventually be assimilated by its attacker. As particles cannot die but only change teams the total number of particles on the map remains constant. Since a particle can only fight in one direction at a time (towards its team's cursor), a player that surrounds its opponents will have a distinct advantage. The game ends when one player controls all of the particles or when the time runs out. When the time runs out the player with the most particles wins.

The are multiple maps which affect the obstacles in the battlefield. These obstacles may affect the strategies of the game.
Liquid War is a multiplayer game and can be played by up to 6 people on one computer, or over the Internet or a LAN. A single player mode is available in which the opponents are controlled by the computer. The computer AI's "strategy" is to constantly choose a random point in the enemy and move its cursor to it.
To install Liquid War (version 5.6.3), open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install liquidwar
Let the installation process take place, and once it's done you should be able to find Liquid War:
in GNOME: under Applications > Games > Liquid War,
in KDE: under K Menu > Games > Arcade > Liquid War,
in Xfce: right click with your mouse on the desktop and go to Games > Liquid War.
Alternatively you can type
liquidwar
in a terminal and get it up and running that way.
This explains how you very fast can set up a match against the computer:
Launch Liquid War.
Press "Play".
Have fun! =)

It passes through me, an invisible energy, that touches what cannot be found. I search in this moment for why i feel this growing desire. I look for you under moon light, as the beat returns to me. You are tangible in the rhythm but always just out of reach, a phantom in my dreams, a spectre of desire, a ghost in my peripheral vision.
The exhibition brings together Robbie O'Keeffe a painter and Will Hughes a sculptor. Their practices in this exhibition are interwoven by the influence of popular culture and especially music on their work. The Exhibition title is taken from 'Marry the Night' by Lady Gaga, this is because Robbie's Hospital dancer series of works are related to his recollection of the song and visiting his cousin on a mental health ward. While Will's work explores memories of intimacy and feelings of detachment through a number of sculptural and digital works.
Robbie O'Keeffe is based in London and has a studio at ACS Studios in Brixton. He was selected for New Contemporaries in 2017 and won the John Apthorp award in 2016. Robbie's work seeks to portray a poetic message, with a foundation in expressionism, surrealism and landscape.
Will hughes is based in Newcastle upon Tyne and is studying for a Masters in Fine Art through BxNU. In 2018-2019 they completed a year long studio residency at Spike Island in Bristol and in the same year won the Kenneth Armitage Young Sculptor Prize. Will's practice is based on narrative, memory and seduction with an emphasis on being in the moment, explored through anthropomorphic shapes with a strong material importance.

Q: SQL connection String LocalDB - Console - keyword not supported "Server" Working on a tool that queries an SQL Server Express LocalDB implementation, and I've tested the code to see that it works, but when I move the connection string from a hard coded string to one in an xml config file that I wrote, it gives the error below:

For reference, here is a shot of the code, I used prevously for the function call:

and this is what I currently have in the XML Configuration File:

If I change "Server" to "Data Provider" it also says that Data Provider is an unsupported keyword.
Looking through other questions, this is more than likely related to string formatting, or how I'm reading it in, but it does this regardless of single or double quotes.

A: Change Server back to Data Source and remove the quotes from the XML file.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue speaks to the issue of school choice: As we begin the new school year, school choice has never been more important than it is now. Coming off a year where approximately 6 in 10 public school students worked from home and did not attend class—as many as 6 percent skipped school altogether—parents need to be given the choice of sending their children to a Catholic school or a Christian school. For starters, unlike their public school competitors, most of those schools stayed open.

School Choice Never More Important
Catholic League president Bill Donohue speaks to the issue of school choice:
As we begin the new school year, school choice has never been more important than it is now. Coming off a year where approximately 6 in 10 public school students worked from home and did not attend class—as many as 6 percent skipped school altogether—parents need to be given the choice of sending their children to a Catholic school or a Christian school. For starters, unlike their public school competitors, most of those schools stayed open.
Last year was a mixed year for Catholic schools. While enrollment was down, the demand for Catholic schools was evident in states where school choice programs were operative. There are many good reasons why parents elect to send their children to a Catholic school when allotted a voucher or other school choice initiative.
The Catholic school student-teacher ratio hovers around 13:1, considerably lower than in the public schools. Almost all, 99%, of Catholic school high school students graduate; of those, almost 90% go to college. Minority students benefit the most: they are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college than their peers who go to a public school. That's because academic achievement is greater in Catholic schools. They are also much safer, with less student misbehavior.
A recent survey by the Herzog Foundation found that in the Protestant community, parents who sent their children to Christian schools last year were much more satisfied with the results than were parents who sent their children to a public school. Like the Catholic schools, Christian schools were much more likely to stay open during the pandemic, making it easier for parents to manage their child's assignments; their children also exhibited good morale.
Other alternatives to traditional public school education are charter schools and homeschooling. Both witnessed a spike last year. Florida led the way, with more school-choice reforms than any other state.
School choice is making headway, though 19 states still have no such program, and many of those that do need to be expanded. Survey after survey shows that parents overwhelmingly want school choice, and this is especially true in minority communities. But resistance from teachers' unions, and their Democratic allies in government (whom they lavishly grease), continue to stand in the way of progress.
Many of those who oppose school choice like to talk about "intersectionality," a condition where demographic variables such as race and class intersect, often with horrific consequences for those at the bottom of the socio-economic scale.
These anti-choice activists are phonies—they should instead speak about their contributions to intersectionality.
To be exact, those who deny school choice are promoting a sick milieu where race and class merge. After all, it is black and brown people from low-income neighborhoods who are the most likely to be victimized when school choice does not exist. By consigning them to schools which white affluent parents would never choose for their own children, the proponents of intersectionality are maximizing the very phenomenon they purport to loathe.
School choice is the wave of the future. It is time to label its opponents as generators of race and class discrimination.

Removal of dams will create long-term problems
Parker Pollock, Redding
In the March 3 edition of your newspaper, an article covered Congressman Doug LaMalfa's concern that proponents of Klamath Dam removal were holding secret meetings with government officials and that those participating in these meetings were being required by the leaders to sign "non-disclosure agreements." This was confirmed by Bob Gravely, spokesman for PacifiCorp, current owner of the four dams located in California and Oregon.
At this point, it appears that a "dummy" nonprofit corporation with no assets to date will be created by PacifiCorp, Oregon and California to accept title to the four dams and I assume that as the owner, this "dummy" nonprofit corporation also will be responsible for any downstream damage caused by removal of the dams. The three key parties to these negotiations then may be immune from lawsuits. The possible legal fees can be really substantial.
It's unlikely that those who live in the region of the Klamath will ever forget what happened to the Montague Water Conservation District two years ago when the district ran afoul of the attorneys representing the fish in the Shasta River as it emerges from Lake Shastina. The small district for years will be paying off the whopping $500,000 charged by the attorneys representing the fish.
There are people of informed opinion who would like to see the Klamath dams remain. Some are American Indians of the region, while others are farmers, fishermen, scientists, wildland firefighters, environmentalists, educators and more. All the stakeholders are not of one mind on this issue. Whether or not they are included in these negotiations remains to be seen.
If the dams are to be taken down, it would be environmentally prudent to install a fish barrier at the first dam at Iron Gate to keep the now-toxic salmon from invading the upper Klamath River. Remember, this is a fish from the sewage lagoon we call the Pacific Ocean and even the state of California opined in February 2012 that consumers need to realize that "there are no known ways to prepare these fish that will reduce the methylmercury of the fish," not to mention the half-life of the PCBs.
After these toxic fish spawn, they lie dying and then decaying in and out of the water, thus returning to our inland landscapes the toxic chemicals that our industrial/commercial/agricultural/mining activities sent down the rivers out to the ocean in the first place, creating a huge sewage lagoon.
This sounds like sarcasm on my part, but it's really irony. Isn't it? It could just be basic ecology.

The Worm is in Singapore, sporting a cryptocurrency T-shirt and a MAGA hat, and impressing at least one intel official with his North Korea insights.
When CNN needed to find a voice to react to the historic meeting between North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump, its bookers turned to one man who knew both leaders personally: Dennis Rodman.
In a bizarre, emotional interview on CNN on Monday, the mercurial former NBA star broke down in tears while praising the meeting between the two leaders. He also noted his own tumultuous history with North Korea.
Sporting a red Make America Great Again hat, large tinted sunglasses, and a T-shirt plugging the cryptocurrency potcoin.com, Rodman recalled how he was chastised for personally befriending Kim during several trips to the hermit kingdom. Rodman had been widely criticized for showering attention and publicity on Kim during those trip. But he claimed he did not know anything about the North Korean regime or its atrocities before he agreed to travel there.
The man famously nicknamed "The Worm" also offered his take on Kim's personality and mental state. He said that the North Korean dictator understood English when it came to basketball terms, and opined that Kim was "like a big kid" albeit while being small in actual stature.
Rodman recalled how he offered advice to Kim about how North Korea could improve relations with the United States and vice versa, and offered his take on how the meeting could succeed.
Though he said that former President Barack Obama's team "did not give me the time of day" to discuss his trip to North Korea, the former NBA star acknowledged that he'd recently received a call from Trump's secretary thanking him for his previous visits.
An agent for Rodman subsequently told CNN that the "secretary" he was referring to was actually White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. Sanders did not return a request for confirmation.
Though hardly skilled in international diplomacy or geopolitics, Rodman's analysis seemed to impress at least one prominent American leader.
Immediately following the interview, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo told former director of national intelligence James Clapper that Rodman was, shockingly, one of the best sources of first-person information into Kim's thinking.

Boeing's appeal successful in subsidy case
By Robert Silk
A World Trade Organization appellate panel has reversed the WTO's 2016 finding that a tax incentive provided by the state of Washington to Boeing for development of the 777x widebody aircraft is a "prohibited" subsidy.
The decision is a victory for the U.S. and Boeing in their ongoing dispute over aircraft development subsidies with the European Union and Airbus.
The appellate panel determined that the business and occupation tax incentive passed by Washington state in 2013 isn't a prohibited subsidy because it doesn't block Boeing from using imported goods in the aircraft.
Boeing general counsel Michael Luttig called the ruling, "a sweeping and clean win for the United States," in a prepared remark Monday and added that the EU has no option for appeal.
The ruling came as part of a 2014 case filed by the EU against the U.S. Last November, the WTO concluded that six other tax incentives dispute by the EU are not prohibited.
"The latest of the false claims Airbus and its government sponsors have made has now been rejected by the WTO," Luttig said.
In its own statement, Airbus noted that as part of a separate case in 2012 the WTO found that subsidies received by Boeing are "actionable."
"This issue is not over," a company spokesman said in an email.
The case is part of a broader and long-running dispute between the EU and the U.S. over subsidies to Airbus and Boeing. In September 2016 the WTO found that Airbus had utilized more than $4 billion in launch aid to develop its A350XWB aircraft.

On March 5, 2019, 226 pounds of unused medications collected during the first quarter of this year were transferred to the PA National Guard and agents from the PA Attorney General's Office for destruction. Since the start of the program in September 2016, over 1,942 pounds of unused medications have been collected and transferred for destruction. Residents are reminded that Med Return collection boxes are located at all law enforcement stations/offices in Elk County (Elk County Sheriff's Office, City of St. Marys Police Department, Ridgway Borough Police Department, Johnsonburg Borough Police Department, and the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks in Ridgway). Unused medications can be deposited at any of the locations. Citizens can remain anonymous by blacking out any personal information on the packaging. Confidentiality is strictly maintained. The collection program provides for a safe, convenient, and environmentally-safe way to discard unused medications. The Drug Take Back/ Med Collection Program is a collaboration between the District Attorney's Office and the Sheriff's Office of Elk County.
Elk County students will be heading back to school next week. It is a good time to review some safety tips with our motoring public.
1) Be on the lookout for school zone signals and ALWAYS obey the speed limits.
2) When entering a school zone, be sure to slow down and obey all traffic laws.
3) Always stop for a school bus with a flashing red signal that is loading or unloading children.
4) Watch out for school crossing guards and obey their signals.
5) Keep an eye out for school children. They can be unpredictable and enter a roadway with little warning.
6) Report any violators to the local police.
On June 6th and June 12th Sheriff Todd Caltagarone, District Attorney Shawn McMahon, and Commissioners Dan Freeburg, Jan Kemmer, & Matt Quesenberry enjoyed lunch with seniors at the Jones Township Senior Center and the Johnsonburg Senior Center. Both Centers hosted an unused medication collection from 11 AM – 1:00 PM each day. The program is intended to remove and destroy unused medications in an environmentally safe way while at the same time improving the health and safety of Elk County Citizens. Drug collection boxes are located at all Elk County local Police Stations and at the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks where they are accessible 24 hours a day. A collection box at the Sheriff's office is accessible Monday through Friday during normal business hours.
The program is a joint effort between the Sheriff and District Attorney's Office and adheres to a firm policy for the collection, control, and destruction of all collected unused medications. Collected medications are weighed and secured until such time on a quarterly basis where they are transferred to the PA National Guard for transportation to a facility for destruction. The Sheriff's Office assures citizens of strict confidentiality and that no information is collected from the medications. Citizens can black out names on any prescription medication containers to alleviate any worry.
And on June 5th 161 pounds of unused medications was transferred to the PA National Guard for destruction. Guard members were accompanied by Agents from the Attorney General's Office.
The Elk County Sheriff's Office is urging all residents to be vigilant of a possible scam that may be occurring using the Sheriff's Office name and phone number. Reports have been received that residents have been contacted via telephone where a female caller with a foreign accent has identified herself as a Deputy Sheriff. The caller then informed the resident that a warrant has been issued for their arrest and they are to contact a law office by a specific time to get it taken care of, and are provided a telephone number. The purpose of the call to the law office is to settle the warrant by submitting confidential information, so that the caller can withdraw funds from a credit card or bank account.
The Elk County Sheriff's Office DOES NOT settle warrant's by requesting credit card or bank account information, nor does the office request the settlement of a warrant by asking a person to SEND or TRANSFER funds to a law office. If this scam is attempted on anyone, the Sheriff's Office requests that residents file a report with their local police department.
RESOLUTION 2018-01 "Operation Elk County"
On February 20, 2018 the Board of Commissioners for Elk County approved resolution 2018-01 supporting the formation of "Operation Elk County" to confront the opioid crisis and overall health and safety issues that Elk County citizens are confronted with. The primary objective of the committee will be to form working groups that will support the mission of promoting healthy lifestyles, preventing substance abuse, and work on improving access to treatment, recovery, and re-entry.
This initiative resulted from information that was gathered from the forums that were conducted by the Elk County District Attorney, the Elk County Sheriff, and Alcohol and Drug Abuse services during September and October of 2018. The Elk County Family Resource Network will play a significant role in the formation of the work groups with the full support of the Elk County Commissioners.
Pictured from left to right are Elk County District Attorney Shawn McMahon, Elk County Sheriff Todd Caltagarone, Elk County Commissioner Dan Freeburg, Elk County Commissioner Matt Quesenberry, Elk County Commissioner Jan Kemmer, and Lisa Cherry from Alcohol and drug Abuse Services, and representing the Elk Family Resource Network is Billie Jo Weyant From CAPSEA (Citizens Against Physical, Sexual, and Emotional Abuse).
On January 17th Pennsylvania's Attorney General, Josh Shapiro visited Elk County and led a round table discussion on the Opioid Crisis confronting Pennsylvania. The multi-disciplinary group was represented by Matt Gabler's Office, the Elk County Commissioners, The Elk County Clerk, Elk County Law Enforcement Agencies, the Elk County Prison, the Elk County Coroner, Alcohol Drug and Abuse Services, Citizens Against Physical, Sexual, & Emotional Abuse (CAPSEA), and other offices within Elk County Government. The discussion involved the issues that Elk County is confronted with and the impact on rural Pennsylvania and the ongoing initiatives to counter the epidemic. The Attorney General is committed to supporting all efforts that includes enforcement and access to treatment. Pictured from left to right are Elk County Detective Gregg McManus, District Attorney Shawn McMahon, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, and Elk County Sheriff Todd Caltagarone.
It was October 3rd, 1863 following the Battle of Gettysburg during the civil war that President Abraham Lincoln declared that the fourth Thursday in every November be set aside as a day of Thanksgiving. Thereafter that day has been a national holiday where family, friends, and neighbors come together and give thanks for the blessings bestowed upon our nation.
The Elk County Sheriff's Office extends its very best wishes to all this Thanksgiving Day as family and friends celebrate together. It is the beginning of the holiday season and marks one of the busiest travel and shopping times of the year with Black Friday and the weekend that follows. So, please obey the posted speed limits, be mindful of changing weather conditions, and give yourself plenty of time when traveling.

This morning, The Elk County Sheriff's Office participated in the Children's Miracle Network event being held at the Leaning Pines Golf Course in St. Marys. Chief Deputy Borza from the Sheriff's Office along with Officer Lehman of the St. Marys Police Department talked about gun safety with the NRA's Eddie Eagle Program.
This year Independence Day begins on a weekend thereby extending celebrations that will likely include sparklers, and other class "C" combustibles. The Elk County Sheriff's Office encourages adults to supervise children and follow instructions when using legal fireworks. An adult should always supervise fireworks activities and never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks. Sparklers alone account for several injuries that result in visits to the emergency room. Never attempt to relight a firework if it fails the first time. Soak it in water and then discard the device. Also celebrations of this kind often involve the use of alcoholic beverages, so please do not use or employ any type of fireworks when consuming alcoholic beverages. This only increases the chance of unintentional consequences that can result in injuries to the person or innocent bystanders.
The Elk County Sheriff's Office hopes that everyone enjoys this year's Independence celebrations and wishes all a good time.

Over 5 million people in this country suffer from Alzheimer's disease; 1 in 45 Americans have autism. Of those, 60% of Alzheimer's patients and 49% of autistic persons will wander at some point. Because many are unable to communicate and become confused, these individuals cannot seek help to return home. The longer they are missing, the more increased the risk of serious injury or even death.
A typical search for these individuals takes approximately 9 hours. At a cost of $1,500 per hour, the average search comes to a total of $13,500. With Project Lifesaver, the average search is 30 minutes and to date they have a 100% success rate with 3,269 rescues.
Started in 1999, Project Lifesaver is an award winning program consisting of police, sheriff, fire, public safety departments and other emergency responders. The individual with tendencies to wander wears a small transmitter on their wrist or ankle that emits a tracking signal. It looks similar to a watch, but sends out one of three transmissions: radio frequency, global positioning system (GPS) or assisted global positioning system. When the individual is missing, a call is made to Project Lifesaver to explain the situation. They, in turn, will contact local responders with coordinates of the individual based on the tracking signal being sent. The responder now knows exactly where to look, saving crucial time.
The Project Lifesaver program currently has over 1,500 member agencies in 50 states, but there is some work involved to become a participant. Each participating agency receives a 2 day on-site training for up to 7 people and a 1 day training up to 7 people to become instructors for the program with re-certification every 2 years. Certified Project Lifesaver first responders are also trained to understand the behavior of adults and children that could be at risk. They also give instruction to families and caregivers for maintenance and for reporting if their loved one goes missing.
Bringing this issue to the forefront is imperative. Not only do we need to get the word out about this huge issue, but knowing there is a product out there that can help these families and give them peace of mind, gives us, as a community, enough of a reason to help raise the funds necessary. The funding can be helped with various grants but bringing awareness is the main way to help cover costs.
For more information about Project Lifesaver, please visit their webpage at www.projectlifesaver.org or call (757)546-5502.
LIFT staff, Sheila Mazzaferro and Hope Weichman recently met with Elk County Sheriff, Todd Caltagarone and 9-1-1 Coordinator, Sherri Lovett in an effort to collaborate to bring Project Lifesaver and its technology to Elk County. After researching and reviewing the benefits and value of this program, we are pleased to announce the partnership between these three agencies.
A letter of intent will be written to Project Lifesaver as the beginning stage of the process. This can only become a reality with community support and involvement. LIFT will work to secure funding through local foundations and community sponsorships and as always, would welcome all contributions.
If you would like more information, please contact Sheila or Hope at 814-781-3050. To make a contribution to our local efforts for Project Lifesaver, send checks payable to LIFT (Project Lifesaver), 503 E. Arch St., St. Marys, PA 15857.
We cannot do this alone; we need you, the members of our community, to GET THE WORD OUT in order to make Project Lifesaver a SUCCESS!

Georgia Secretary of State and Republican gubernatorial nominee Brian Kemp's office seems to have a cybersecurity problem. With less than 48 hours before voters go to the polls in Georgia, Kemp announced his office was investigating the Georgia Democratic Party for an alleged failed hack of the secretary of state's voting website.
The leader of an organization that claims to have disclosed these cyber vulnerabilities to his office says the blaming of his political opponents is both "fabricated and preposterous." It is part of a pattern of Kemp not securing voting systems, then politicizing and weaponizing his cybersecurity vulnerabilities against those who report them.
This weekend's accusation of the Democratic Party hacking the state appears to stem from information passed to Kemp's office, warning him of what was described to Route Fifty as a "massive vulnerability" in the Georgia My Voter Page, a portal that allows residents to check their voter registration status, mail-in application and ballot status, along with other voting information.
A voter who had accessed the website for voting purposes noticed flaws, said Marilyn Marks of the Coalition for Good Governance. Marks' organization was one of those that was sent a memo outlining how the online voter registration database used to update electronic pollbooks for election day was accessible and vulnerable to manipulation, ultimately passing it along to the Secretary of State's office.
The office believed the collective evidence provided to them was enough to ask for law enforcement to investigate, as they asserted planning a hack is enough to constitute a crime.
The organizations that received the information about the alleged problems are among those suing the secretary of state for the high rate of rejections of absentee mail ballots in Georgia, as well as the Democratic Party.
Marks told Route Fifty the organizations had six cybersecurity experts of "national preeminence" in the computer science world review the data. All of them came to the same conclusion that the vulnerability was real and significant.
Marks said the experts said the flaw could leave the Georgia residents wide open to not just identity theft, but to having their names altered or eliminated from the electronic pollbooks that govern who is allowed to vote in the state.
By Saturday, both groups decided to pass information on the vulnerabilities along to the secretary of state.
"We cannot evaluate whether pollbook data has been altered or whether this extreme security risk may impact Tuesday's election," Marks wrote in an email release. "We again urge Secretary Kemp and the State Election Board to do everything humanly possible to correct errors in pollbooks for use on Tuesday and make a paper backup copy for every polling location."
With Georgia lacking a paper trail for ballots or pollbooks—other voting vulnerabilities that Georgia has successfully defended itself against fixing in court—the flaw opens up the potential for mass disruption in voting.
Marks told Route Fifty the vulnerabilities on the website were not fixed as of late Sunday night, according to the security researchers her organization was in contact with. The Democratic Party of Georgia posted a news release that included the emails that were passed along to the Secretary of State's office as part of the explanation of the vulnerability on the Georgia My Voter web portal.
Matt Bernhard, an election security researcher at the University of Michigan, who reviewed and confirmed the vulnerabilities for the organizations on Sunday, posted on Medium that he had concerns that the flaws may be evident in 15 other state election voter registration systems managed by the same third-party vendor.
This is not the first time Kemp has had a cybersecurity incident, nor used it to political ends. Over the course of multiple incidents in the past four years, Kemp has increasingly used political tactics to cover up for cyber mismanagement within his office.
In 2015, the personal information of more than 6.2 million Georgia residents was accidentally released by Kemp's office to a multiple third parties. That information included Social Security numbers and birth dates of voters. Kemp released a statement taking full responsibility for the breach, and fired the employee he said was responsible for the disclosure.
"I have put in place additional safeguards effective immediately to ensure this situation does not happen again," Kemp said at the time.
Despite this scare, Kemp was not interested in outside support to shore up his cyber defenses. Less than a year later, as evidence came out that Russia was leading a series of cyber-related manipulation efforts against the United States in the lead up to the 2016 election, officials responsible for voting quickly began to concern themselves with the state of their cybersecurity.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security offered help to scan all state election systems to look for flaws in their cyber defenses. Kemp was one of only two state election leaders to decline support.
That wariness of DHS took on a tinge of conspiracy soon thereafter. Kemp accused the Obama administration's DHS of attempting to hack Georgia's voter database. The DHS inspector general, under President Trump's administration, came back and said there was no malicious attack on the state.
"While I am disappointed that it took a new administration to investigate this highly important incident, I am pleased to learn this information and relieved that our federal government is not trying to interfere with elections in our state or others involved in this situation," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted Kemp as saying at the time.
While these files were supposed to be protected behind a firewall, they were available to everyone. Similarly to the accusations in the current incident, the lack of a paper trail or paper pollbooks left the ballot open to manipulation.
Lamb attempted to warn Kennesaw State. When the vulnerabilities were not fixed and he and his colleague continued to sound the alarm, news reached the secretary of state's office, the governor's office and the media. Ultimately, the FBI was called in to investigate Lamb and the colleague for potential criminal acts. They found none.
It is a regular affair for responsible cybersecurity researchers to alert both public and private sector entities to flaws in their online systems. Many private and public entities offer "bug bounties" to encourage reporting of vulnerabilities in their systems—including the military. Georgia has not. In fact, outgoing Governor Nathan Deal had to veto a "computer crime" bill (SB 315) last session after a national outcry that it would have made the sort of research done by "ethical hackers" a crime.
PCC Technology, which bills itself as a "premier provider of solutions for Secretaries of State across the country," still manages voter registration (including online registration) and election management for the state of Georgia.
Kemp's opponents have raised ethics questions about his running for governor while managing the election process. Back in August, Georgia Democrats requested that Kemp resign from his role as secretary of state to avoid conflicts of interest. He refused.
Georgia's election efficiency has not fared well under Kemp according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Election Performance Index. The index rates how states fare on a range of indicators that rank the efficiency of an election, from ballots cast and rejected to voting wait and tools available. Since Kemp became Georgia's secretary of state in 2010, the state has fallen from fourth in 2008 to 34th in the nation.
Editor's Note: This article has been updated with responses from the Georgia Secretary of State's office.
