News Update from Neelu Berry/The 20-Page Alien Judgment Handed to Judge Nina Tempia: Treasonous Judgement Proof of Conspiracy to Assassinate 3,500 Cancer Patients in US, UK+France by Criminalizing GcMAF/GOleic
Ramola D/Posted 10/11/2019
Neelu Berry, pharmacist whistleblower, activist, and reporter, provides this news update this morning on what transpired at the Westminster Magistrates' Court November 7, 2019 in the case of David Noakes providing lifesaving GcMAF to cancer patients and others, what it really means, and the text of the 20-page written judgment which Judge Tempia openly disclosed was handed to her from an alien party whom she did not name. Please see Open Travesty in UK…for context on this continuing saga of corruption, entrenched power, and the scandalous suppression of a vital cancer cure, GcMAF, by apparent organized crime syndicates operating within the halls of ill-gotten power under the facade of public-service institutions.

News Update from Neelu Berry | 11/11/2019
This is the mysterious text from an alien source which has been allegedly typed as written by Judge Nina Tempia, District Judge of Westminister Magistrates Court, handed to Citizen David Noakes in Court 1 at 10.30am by Judge Tempia, minutes after she confirmed, in front of 30 witnesses in the public gallery, that it was not written by her and therefore could not be changed by her even though there is perjury.
This alien judgement forgets to mention that GcMAF is a naturally occurring protein and therefore does not require licensing by FDA or MHRA or OCLAESP or any other synthetic drug manufacturer licensing authority.
There was a public outcry on the alien decision to extradite David Noakes in 10 days from 7th Nov 2019 and charge him costs even though his bank accounts are frozen and he is a victim of State Pension and Benefit Denial Frauds – he is homeless and penniless like all whistleblowers in the UK.
The UK State is assassinating 500 Cancer patients every day, in conspiracy with France state's 500 and USA's 2,500 deaths per day, totally unnecessarily, by denying GcMAF and GOleic.
PLEASE NOTE THE LIE

IN THE WESTMINSTER MAGISTRATES' COURT
HIGH INSTANCE COURT OF PARIS, FRANCE
ISSUING JUDICIAL AUTHORITY
DAVID NOAKES
REQUESTED PERSON
APPLICATION AND BACKGROUND
1. Mr David Noakes, the Requested Person, ("RP") is sought by an
accusation extradition request under a European Arrest Warrant
("EAW") issued by the Public Prosecutor at the High Instance Court of
Paris, the Issuing Judicial Authority ("IJA") on 9th March 2017. The
EAW was certified by the National Crime Agency ("NCA") on 13th April
2. The warrant seeks the RP's surrender to face trial for 9 offences
concerning the manufacture and sale, without requisite government
authorization, of a product called "GcMAF", Globulin component
Macrophage Activating Factor.
3. France is designated a "territory 1" country under the Extradition Act
2003 ("EAW").
4. The RP was arrested on the EAW on t5th April 2017 and appeared at
Westminster Magistrates' Court on 17th April 2017. He did not consent
to his extradition and the hearing was opened. The RP was released on
conditional bail. He was then charged with offences in the UK which
concerned the sale of the same products which form the basis of the
warrant and a money laundering offence. He pleaded guilty to the
offences and was sentenced to l5-months imprisonment on 27th
November 2018.
5. At the final hearing on 31st October 2019, the IJA was represented by
Mr Seifert and the RP represented himself after dismissing his legal
team. Mr Seifert told me the warrant the RP faces is an identical
warrant to that faced by Lynda Thyer alleging the same offences. Her
extradition was ordered on 4th May 2018. In a judgment dated 10th May
2019, Supperstone J, in the High Court, dismissed her appeal against
extradition.
6. At the final hearing the RP did not identify himself when he was asked
his name and date of birth, responding that he was a common man and
had a common law birth certificate. However, I was advised that
identity had not been an issue at the initial hearing on 17th April 2017.
7. I asked the RP if he had seen the Opening Note prepared on behalf of
the IJA and was told a copy had been given to him but he had refused
to receive it or to read it.
8. I asked the RP to confirm what the challenges were to his extradition
and he said the arguments he wished to raise were:
(a) This court did not have jurisdiction to deal with his case;
(b) Section 2 of the Act, in that the issuing prosecutor was corrupt, had
no authority to issue the warrant; that it was not based on evidence
and this court did not have jurisdiction to deal with the case;
(c) Double Jeopardy in that he had already served a prison sentence for
the same offences in the UK.
(d) Abuse of process, the warrant having been issued by a corrupt
public prosecutor
9. I asked him if he was going to rely on any further issues raised in the
skeleton argument prepared by his previous legal representatives and
I went through prison conditions, his personal circumstances and his
medical/psychological health. He reiterated that the only matters he
was relying on were those outlined above.
10. The RP made submissions and left court saying he did not want to stay
to be involved proceedings because the court did not have any power to
hear the case. He said he knew what the court's decision would be and
would appeal. I told him the case would continue in his absence. He
11. The RP was given bail to attend the next hearing on 7th November 2019
when my decision would be delivered.
12. I will deal with the submissions made by the parties when I deal with
the specific challenges raised. I will also go through the EA.
THE WARRANT
13. This is an accusation warrant and is based on a domestic arrest warrant
issued on 2nd March 2017 by Jean-Luc Gadaud, Vice President in
charge of Investigation at the High Instance Court of Paris for the
purpose of criminal prosecution.
14. The warrant states that the maximum sentence for the offences is 10
years imprisonment.
15. Box E sets out 9 offences. All the alleged offences were committed
between 1st June 2015 and 20th February 2017 in Cherbourg, Octeville,
Digosville and Saint-Pierre L'Eglise in the department of Manche 50,
(1) The first offence is fraud in an organised gang and the Framework
List is ticked for "swindle". The RP claimed the products "GcMAF"
and "GOleic" were medicines which could either prevent or cure
cancer, autism, AIDS, Lyme disease, herpes, multiple sclerosis,
psoriasis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The products were sold over
the internet with the RP being in charge of a network which
manufactured and sold the unauthorised products around the
(2) The second offence is set out at Box E (II) and concerned the illegal
practice of a pharmacist, whereby the RP carried out the operations
meant for a pharmacist without the necessary accreditation.
(3) The third offence is set out at Box E (II) and is the marketing or
distribution of the products described as medicines under the
names Gemaf and Goelic which had preventive and curative
qualities and were advertised over the internet.
(4) The fourth offence is set at Box E (II) and concerns the advertising
of an unauthorised medicine under the name Gemaf and Goelic
over the internet whereby they were presented as having preventive
or curative qualities for specific illnesses.
(S) Offence 5 is set out at Box E (II) whereby, over the internet, the RP
is said to have fraudulency described the curative qualities of the
drugs. The substantive paragraph in Box E states that the products
were declared at customs as cosmetics.
(6) Offence 6 is set out at Box E (II) and alleges possession, in an
organised gang, of medical products, Gemaf and Goelic, to be used
by human beings without any legal support and no marketing
authorisation.
(7) Details of the seventh offence are found in Box E (II) and concerns
the employment by dissimulator of activity in an organised gang.
The RP did not have a registration number with the Trade and
Companies Register or Employment Repertoire, failed to fill in
registration forms with the health insurance or tax administration.
(8) Offence 8 is found in Box E (II) and relates to opening a
pharmaceutical establishment, namely laboratories to manufacture
medicines under the names of Gemaf and Goelic without
authorisation. The RP is said to have opened a laboratory and
packaging for the products in France.
(9) Details of offence 9 are to be found at Box E (II) and concerns
biomedical research without consent and without the authorisation
of the competent authority.
FURTHER INFORMATION – 3rd MAY 2017
16. This has been prepared by Jean-Luc Gadaud, the Vice President in
charge of the investigation at the High Instance Court in Paris.
17. The information contained in that document is relevant to section 12A
of the Act. I will deal with this as part of my assessment because I have
the information and I have to satisfy myself there are no bars to
18. The information states that the RP was informed of the investigation
and summonsed to appear before investigators. He failed to do so
despite agreeing to attend. He sent his solicitor who indicated he was
waiting for a EAW. Because of his voluntary absence a domestic arrest
warrant was issued on 2nd March 2017 as this was the only way he could
be brought to France because his precise address was unknown and it
appeared he was refusing to appear at court on a summons. The French
authorities considered him to "be on the run".
19. According to the French code of penal practice, the French magistrate
cannot proceed with the investigation of a person without having
allowed him the possibility of hearing from him in the presence of his
solicitor. He cannot be questioned unless he is physically present and
therefore his absence has prevented him putting forward an
explanation about the allegations against him.
20.The information also sets out the RP's role in the commission of the
offences. In December 2015 the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products
Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") informed the central office of
Environment and Public Health Matters that the products, GcMAF and
GOleic, were being manufactured and marketed from France via the
internet throughout the world without marketing authorisation.
21. ERUOJUST was involved with several investigatory bodies throughout
Europe. The RP's production sites were dismantled in the UK and he
reinstalled them in France and other European countries.
22. The RP directed the network in charge of manufacturing, packaging
and selling the non-authorised products around the world. He also
relied on several companies registered in the Netherlands.
23. The financial investigation revealed the flow of money between the
companies and persons in France. The packaging site and
manufacturing laboratory was set up in France following the
dismantling of sites in Great Britain. The RP personally delivered the
products from the Cherbourg Maupertuis airport aboard his private
24.The RP employed several accomplices in Guernsey to manage the
orders and financial flows. The daily running of the business on French
territory was managed by the RP's partner, Lynda Thyer, in whose
home was found accounting documents in respect of the manufacturing
and sales activities in her home during a search. During an operation in
Cherbourg on 20th February 2017 a number of items were seized,
including, amongst other things, cash, a hidden laboratory and stock
which was ready to be shipped, with an estimated sales value of
3,150,000 Euros.
25. In the past 18 months more than 5,400 packages had been sold from
France' The products were declared at customs as cosmetics valued at
15 Euros and were generally sold for a 450 Euros for a 02 ml bottle and
each package contained several vials.
26. The warrant only concerns conduct which occurred in France from lsr
June 2015 and 2oth February 2oL7 and not those acts concerned in the
investigation and therefore there is no risk of double prosecution.
27. The investigation was initiated in paris or1 7th April zot6after British
authorities informed the French authorities that the Rp,s activities
were continuing in France after the dismantling of his activities in
28. An Investigating Magistrate was appointed to pursue an investigation
after an introductory indictment was issued on 8th December 2016.
29. Sufficient charges were collected against the RP during 2016 and were
confirmed in February 2017 when several of his accomplices were
arrested.
30. In response to the question as to why there has been a delay in issuing a
decision to prosecute being made, the information states that it is solely
the RP's refusal to appear by summons before the French authorities
that accounts for the fact that he is not currently under investigation.
31. The RP was contacted by telephone and e mail. He answered e mails
but never told the authorities his address.
32. The information also sets out the maximum sentences for the nine
offences of which the RP is accused:
(1) Aggravated fraud in an organised gang: 10 years.
(2) Aggravated deception in an organised gang: 7 years.
(3) Illegal practice of a pharmacy: 2 years.
(4) Marketing without authorisation to market medicine with these
circumstances that the acts were carried out by internet and by an
organised gang and of nature to entail danger for humans;7 years
(5) Advertising of products qualified as unauthorised medicines with
these circumstances that the acts were carried out by internet and
by an organised gang and of nature to entail danger for humans; 7
(6) Holding in an organised Bang, without the pertinent supporting
documents, products qualified as medicines for human usage: act
deemed as contraband importation: 10 years.
(7) Opening of pharmaceutical establishments without the
authorisation of the National Agency for the Safety of Medicine and
Health Products: 2 years.
(8) Biomedical research without authorisation: 3 years.
(g) Concealed work (absence of declaration of employees and activity)
in an organised gang: 10 years.
33.A record of the investigation into the RP and Ms Thyer has been
(1) On 24th February 2017 they were called on their mobile phones and
invited to attend the investigators' office to be interviewed on 28th
February 2017. They agreed to attend and the invitation was
formally sent to them to the e mail addresses they supplied. On 27th
February 2017 they were contacted by telephone as they had not
confirmed they would be attending. On this occasion they were
telephoned. The RP failed to answer his phone and Ms Thyer
requested a delay which was refused. A further e mail was sent.
Their UK solicitor responded and said they would be interviewed
in the presence of their legal representative and requested more
time to instruct a specialist lawyer.
(2) On 1st March zorT Jeremie Manchuel appeared before a judicial
police officer. Neither the RP nor Ms Thyer attended the
appointment and their lawyer informed that the RP had been
arrested the previous week in the UK and given their fear of being
prosecuted for the same offences in France and the UK, they would
prefer to contest extradition to France.
FURTHER INFORMATION – 19th AUGUST 2019
34. This information has been supplied to confirm which prison the RP will
be accommodated in if he is extradited and the conditions he will face. I
have set this out because it is information that is before me and I will
deal with this in my judgment.
35. The document confirms the following:
(1) If extradited, the RP will be detained and either Fleur-Merogis or
Fresnes, men's district.
(2) He will be accommodated in at least 3m2 and will be housed in a
cell of 9 or 1om2 including sanitary annexes, which were designed
for one person.
(3) At Fresnes Prison single cells measures between 9 and 1om2
including sanitary facilities. Each detainee will have a minimum of
4m2 excluding sanitary facilities. Fresnes has two cells which
measures between 14 and 1om2 and can accommodate inmates with
reduced mobility.
(4) At Fleury-Mergois the short stay prison has cells which measures
between 9 and 10m2 and have at least 4m2 per person. In double
cells each detainee has at least 6m2. For those with reduced
mobility there are larger cells.
(5) The document also contains information about the amount of time
detainees are out of their cells, visiting sessions, activities,
mealtimes, and the control of rodents and bed bugs.
36. I have read the warrant, further information dated 3rd May 2017 and
19th August 2019, the IJA's Opening Note dated 18th September 2019,
the RP's proof of evidence dated 27th June 2019, documents setting out
the RP's submissions dated 10th, 16th and 19th October 2019 and
undated documents headed "In the Westminster Magistrates' Court on
3rst October 2019″,"The European Arrest Warrant is unconstitutional",
"Neither Lyn Thyer nor I (David Noakes) were involved with GcMAF in
France", the Magna Carta, "Common law courts Great Britain and
International dated 3rst August 2019, common law birth certificate and
psychiatric report dated 24th June 2019 and Dr Forrester's psychiatric
report dated 26th June 2019 and the sentencing remarks of HHJ
Lorraine-Smith at Southwark Crown Court. I was also referred to the
judgment of Supperstone J in Lynda Thyer V Public Prosecutor at the
High Instance Court of Paris, France [2019] EWHC 1185 (Admin).
JURISDICTION OF THIS COURT
37.I am satisfied I have the power to determine this case. I do not accpet
the submission that under the Magna Carta (clause 38) I do not have
jurisdiction, because I am an appropriate judge under the Extradition
Act 2003 and I have to consider statutes passed by Parliament.
38. I have read the RP's proof of evidence dated 27th June 2019 in which
he states that during the course of the domestic proceedings he was
diagnosed as being autistic. He suffers from type z diabetes and high
blood pressure. His eyesight deteriorated whilst in prison and he lost a
significant amount of weight.
39.Mr Seifert told the court that the RP had been diagnosed with Autism
Spectrum Disorder. I have read Dr Forrester's report dated 24th June
2019. This has not been tested and is of limited weight. I have not
heard from the RP about his personal circumstances because he did not
give evidence. Dr Forrester diagnosed the RP as having Autism
Spectrum Disorder and, at the time the report was prepared, was
suffering from a depressive illness. It also stated that if extradited to
France he is likely to continue to require clinical support, investigation
and treatment as he did when he was in Wandsworth prison. He was
not suicidal whilst in Wandsworth prison. He presented at the time of
the report as having an elevated but low risk of suicide.
40.There has been no delay in this case. There has been a long
investigation by the French authorities. The investigation started on 7th
April 2016. An introductory indictment was issued on 8th December
2016 and there were sufficient charges to place the RP under
investigation during zot6 and confirmed in February 2017. A EAW was
issued because he refused to appear by way of summons before the
French authorities.
SECTIONS 2, 10 AND 64 EA
41. The RP argued that Mr Gaudaud, who issued the warrant, has no
evidence to support the allegations, they were figments of his
imagination and therefore fundamentally flawed. The warrant is illegal
under law because clause 38 of the Magna Carta states that no one can
be arrested without evidence. Mr Gaudaud committed perjury when he
recorded in Ms Thyer's warrant that she had received 11,000,000
Euros when in fact, Supperstone J found the amount to be 11,000
Euros. Mr Gaudaud has copied the offences alleged against the RP into
the warrant issued for Ms Thyer and their roles were different. He had
also been convicted in the common law for perjury. The RP also argued
that the case of Metric Martyrs has to be followed by this court which
held that habeas corpus and Magna Carta can "trump" the EA 2oo3.
42. In response Mr Seifert referred me to his skeleton argument in which
he had set out the offences and the equivalent offences in the UK and
the judgment of Supperstone J, who considered whether the warrant
issued against Ms Thyer was valid. He submitted it was exactly the
same warrant as that faced by the RP. He also submitted that Mr
Gaudaud had been convicted by a common law court in the UK which
had no jurisdiction in either the UK or Europe. Mr Gaudaud, as the
Vice President at the High Instance Court in Paris, is a judicial
authority and can issue this warrant. This was not considered in the
CJEU cases of OG(C-508/18) and PI(C-82/19PPU). Similarly, there is
no merit in the argument advanced about the Magna Carta because the
Council Framework Decision 2002 has authority in law and the UK has
to consider the EA and the Framework Decision 2002. The EA is
considered by this court, the High Court and the Supreme Court.
43. I am satisfied this court has jurisdiction to deal with the warrant. This
court has to consider the statute before it which is the EA 2003 and the
Council Framework Decision 2002. There is no evidence before me that
Mr Gaudaud has issued the warrant because of any malfeasance on his
part. The conviction by the common law court is not relevant as it is a
court not known to this one. The CJEU cases do not relate to France
and I am satisfied so I am sure that Mr Gaudaud is an appropriate
issuing judicial authority, as submitted by Mr Seifert.
44.I am also satisfied so I am sure the warrant complies with section 2(4)
of the Act. This is because, as set out above, it sets out the particulars of
the RP's identity; particulars of the warrant on which the EAW is
based; particulars of the circumstances in which the RP is alleged to
have committed the offences, including the alleged conduct; the time
and place where the offences were allegedly committed, the relevant
provision of law in the category 1 territory and the particulars of the
circumstances for each offence.
45. Under section 10 of the Act I must decide whether the offences are
extradition offences and this is informed by section 64 of the Act.
46.I am satisfied from reading the warrant and Mr Seifert's submissions
that the warrant reveals dual criminality as follows;
(1) Offence 1 – fraud by false representation contrary to section 2 of the
Fraud Act 2003. See above at paragraph 15(1) for details about the
offence. The conduct occurs in France; none of it occurs in the UK; a
certificate issued by the appropriate authority shows it falls within
the Framework Decision as "swindle" and carries a maximum
sentence of 10 years imprisonment (section 64(5);
(2) Offence 2 – illegal practice of a pharmacist is an offence contrary to
38(4) of the Pharmacy Order 2010. Please see above at paragraph
15(2) for details of the offence. The conduct occurs in France, it
would constituent an offence in the UK and the maximum penalty is
2 years imprisonment (section 64(5);
(3) Offence 3 – marketing or distribution of an unauthorised medicine.
See above at paragraph 15(3) for details of the offence. This conduct
occurs in France, would be an offence in the UK contrary to
Regulation 46(1) of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 and is
punishable with imprisonment of a maximum 7 years (section
64(3);
(4) Offence 4 – advertising an unauthorised medicine. See above at
paragraph 15(4) for details of the offence. This conduct occurs in
France, would be an offence in the UK contrary to Regulation 46(1)
of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 and is punishable to a
maximum sentence of imprisonment of 7 years (section 64(3);
(5) Offence 5 – deception or fraud on the nature and substantial
qualities of the goods. See above at paragraph 15(5) for details of the
offence. This conduct occurs in France, and would constitute an
offence under section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006. The maximum
penalty of imprisonment is 10 years (section 64(3)).
(6) Offence 6 – possession, in an organised gang, of medical product
used for human use without any legal supporting. See above at
paragraph 15(6) for details of the offence. The conduct occurs in
France. This would be an offence in the UK contrary to Regulation
46 (3) of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 which prohibits
possession of items with the intention of selling them. The
maximum term of imprisonment for the offence is 10 years (section
64(3)).
(7) Offence 7 – this concerns the concealed employment by
dissimulation of activity in an organised gang. Please see paragraph
15(7) for details of the offence. This conduct would amount to
cheating the public revenue, contrary to common law and I was
referred to the case of Steed [2011] EWHA Crim 75 where it was
stated at paragraph 11, that, "cheating consists of any form of
fraudulent conduct, whether by making positive false
representations…..or by concealing or omitting to disclose liability
or income taith the result that money is diverted from the Revenue
and the Revenue is deprived of money to which it is entitled". The
French authorities were deprived of tax by operating his business in
this way. The conduct occurs in France and is punishable with
imprisonment of a maximum 10 years (section 64(3)).
(8) Offence B – operating a pharmaceutical establishment, a laboratory
without authorisation. See above at paragraph 15 (8) for details of
the offence. The conduct would amount to a breach of Regulation 3
of the Pharmacy Order 2010, which defines a person who practices
as a pharmacist: "For the purposes of this Order, a person practices
as a pharmacist or a pharmacy technician if, whilst acting in the
capacity of or purporting to be a pharmacist or a pharmacy
technician, that person undertakes any work or gives any advice
in relation to the preparation, assembly, dispensing, sole, supply
or use of medicines, the science of medicines, the practice of
pharmacy or the provision of healthcare". This offence is akin to an
offence under section SB(+) of the same order as in offence 2. The
conduct occurs in France and is punishable with a maximum term
of imprisonment of 2 years (section 64(3)).
(9) Offence 9 – biomedical research without consent. This is akin to an
offence contrary to Regulation 49 of the Medicines for Human Use
(Clinical Trials) Regulations 2oo4which states it is an offence to
contravene Regulation re because in this case no ethics committee
has given a favourable opinion in relation to a clinical trial, contrary
to section 12(1)(a) and 12(3)(a) of the Regulations. The laboratory
used in Ms Thyer's house was being used to carry out the
experiments. The conduct occurs in France and the maximum
sentence is 9 years (section 64(3)).
47.The warrant is valid; it complies with section 2 of the Act and there is
dual criminality as required by section 10 of the Act as informed by
section 63 of the Act.
48. This challenge fails.
SECTION 11 – STATUTORY BARS TO EXTRADITON
49. Under section 11 of the Act I have to decide if the RP's extradition is
barred by reason of those matters contained in the Act. In this case the
RP raises double jeopardy under section 12. He does not raise bars
under section 12A, absence of prosecution decision, section 13,
extraneous considerations, section 14, passage of time, section 15, the
person's age, section 17, speciality, sections 19 and 19A and 19B, earlier
extradition from territory and section 19B, forum.
50. Section 20, retrial rights does not apply as this is an accusation
51. I will deal with the bar under section 12, double jeopardy as this has
been raised and I will satisfy myself whether there is a bar under 21A,
absence of prosecution decision, because I have received information
about this from the IJA.
SECTION 12 – DOUBLE JEOPARDY – REASONS AND DECISION
52. This provides: "A person's extradition to a category 1 territory is
barred by reason of the rule against double jeopardy if (and only if) it
appears that he would be entitled to be discharged under any rule of
law relating to pervious acquittal or convict on the assumption –
(a) That the conduct constituting the extradition offence constituted an
offence in the part of the United Kingdom where the judge
exercises jurisdiction;
b) That the person were charged with the extradition offence in that
part of the United Kingdom.
53. In his arguments before me, the RP submitted that he had already been
sentenced to 15 months imprisonment in the UK for the same offences
and the warrant is illegal under the Lisbon Treaty and ECTHR and the
French authorities have issued the warrant to get around the law.
54. In response, Mr Seifert referred to the cases of Fofana v Deputy
Prosecutor Thubin Tribunal de Grande instance de Meaux, France
[2006] EWHC 744 (Admin) and Dar v Staatsanwaltschat Frankfurt
am Mein [2016] EWHC 2405 (Admin). In Fofana the Divisional Court
looked at double jeopardy irl the context of extradition. I must assess
whether the RP has been previously acquitted or convicted of the same
offence, or an offence arising out of the same or substantially the same
facts as those set out in the warrant. He submitted that the offences the
RP faced at Southwark Crown Court were different to those he faces in
the warrant. Of the 7 offences faced at Southwark, the dates they were
said to have been committed were different to those in the EAW. with
only one, count 7, money laundering having occurred between 1st
January 2012 and 1st September 2015. This overlaps the time line of
those offences in the warrant. However, the RP does not face any
allegation of money laundering in the EAW.
55. I am satisfied so I am sure that there is no overlap in the conduct
alleged in the warrant and those the RP faced at Southwark. In relation
to the one alleged offence which is said to have been committed in the
same timeline, the RP is not requested for an offence of money
laundering. He has been convicted of a completely separate course of
conduct in the UK and this bar to extradition fails.
SECTION 12A – DECISION TO PROSECUTE _ REASONS AND
56. There are two stages to the application of this section. The first stage is
that I must have reasonable grounds for believing that (1) the
competent authorities in the category 1 territory have not made a
decision to charge or have not made a decision to try (or have made
neither of those decisions), and (2) the person's absence from the
category r territory is not the sole reason for that failure.
57. If the RP is able to satisfy the judge as to both (1) and (2) above, I must
then move on to consider the second stage which states, at section
12A(1)(b), that the RP's extradition will be barred unless the
prosecution is able to prove to the criminal standard that, (i) the
competent authorities in the category 1 territory have made a decision
to charge and a decision to try, or (ii) in a case where one of those
decisions has not been made (or neither of them has been made), the
person's absence from the category r territory is the sole reason for that
58. This challenge has not been raised but, as already stated, I will deal
with it because the IJA have addressed this in their further
information. The recent decision of Knowles, J in Jacek Litwinczuk v
Poland sub nom Jqcek Litwinczuk v Circuit Court in Szczecin, Poland
[2019] 2019 EWHC 2745 (Admin) states that the further information
provided in that case was to be regarded as incorporated in the EAW; it
was not separate and distinct but was part and parcel of the same
document. Therefore, I have considered the further information
provided together with the warrant and, it seems to me, that the further
information clearly confirms that the investigation is at an advanced
stage. In 2016 there was sufficient information to place the RP under
investigation and to pursue an introductory indictment on 8th
December 2016. Nevertheless, the statement in the further information
that it is "solely his (the RP's) refusal to appear by summons before the
French authorities that account for the fact that he is not currently
place under investigation" requires me to make the finding that the
decision to charge and the decision to try have not yet been made. This
is because the further information unequivocally states the decision has
not been made solely because of his absence in the jurisdiction. My
decision is supported by a similar finding made in the Divisional Court
in respect of the co-accused's case, Ms Thyer, in respect of the same
allegations.
59. The IJA have proved this to the criminal standard and accordingly, this
challenge fails.
CONVENTION RIGHTS
60. I have to consider whether extradition would be compatible with a RP's
rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. The RP has
not raised any issues that extradition will breach his Convention rights
but I will deal with Article 3, prison conditions, because I have received
information from IJA and I will deal with Article 8 under section 21A.
ARTICLE 9 – DECISION
61. The information I have received from the IJA (see above at paragraphs
34-35) confirms that, if extradited, the RP will be detained at either
Fleury-Merogis or Fresnes, men's district. I am satisfied that these
prisons have conditions which are Article 3 compliant.
SECTION 21A – ARTICLE 8 AND PROPORTIONALITY – DECISION
62. Under this section I must decide both of the following questions,
whether the extradition of the RP would be compatible with the
Convention rights within the meaning of the Human Rights Act 1998;
whether the extradition would be disproportionate. In deciding
whether extradition would be disproportional, I must take into account
the specified matters relating to proportionality, so far as I think it
appropriate to do so and they are:
(a) The seriousness of the conduct alleged to constitute the extradition
offence;
(b) The likely penalty that would be imposed if D was found guilty of
the extradition offence;
(c) The possibility of the relevant foreign authorities taking measures
that would be less coercive than the extradition of D.
20 Article 8 was considered in the cases of Norris v Government of the
United States of America (No 2) [2010] UKSC 9 and further considered
in HH v Deputy Prosecutor of the ltalian Republic, Genoa [2012]
UKSC 25. The approach required of a District Judge was considered in
Polish Judiical Authorities v Celinski and. Others [2015] EWHC 1274
(Admin).
Factors in favour of extradition
63. The strong public interest in upholding extradition treaties is very high
and that the UK should not be regarded as a haven for those seeking to
avoid criminal proceedings in other countries.
64. The decisions of the Judicial Authority of a Member State making a
request should be accorded the proper degree of mutual confidence and
65. The independence of prosecutorial decisions must be borne in mind
when considering issues under Article B.
66.The allegations are serious involving the selling of medical products
that were unauthorised. There was a system for the manufacturing and
distribution of the products which were sold over the internet.
67. Any sentence is likely to be substantial.
68.There has been no delay in this case (see paragraph 40 above).
71. The RP suffers from depression, type 2 diabetes and high blood
pressure.
72. His eyesight deteriorated whilst in prison and he lost a significant
amount of weight.
73. The RP's Article 8 rights are engaged. I have undertaken the balancing
exercise and, on the evidence before me, there is nothing to suggest
that the impact of extradition would not be proportionate to the RP's
Convention rights, particularly in light of the very serious offences for
which he is sought.
PROPORTIONALITY
74. The alleged offences are serious, manufacturing, marketing and selling
products which are sold as cures for illnesses and conditions without
the appropriate authorisation.
75. If the RP is found guilty I have no doubt a sentence of imprisonment is
likely to be imposed, given the time frame of the offences and the
sophisticated nature of the enterprise.
76. No evidence has been adduced as to the less coercive measures the
French authorities could have taken but it is clear from the further
information that the RP was invited to go to France to see the
authorities and failed to do so after initially agreeing to attend,
resulting in the EAW being issued.
77.The RP submitted the warrant has been issued on an improperly
motivated basis in that it has been brought by the MHRA which had
directors of GlaxcoKline on its board and exists to protect the profits
for chemotherapy and other chemical drugs; the former being $200
million. He also submitted this court did not have jurisdiction to hear
the case as it was not properly constituted.
78. In response Mr Seifert referred to his skeleton argument and further
submitted the warrant has been issued by u judicial authority in France,
certified by the NCA and an appropriate judge under the EA has
considered it.
79. Abuse of process arguments can only be used if all other bars to
extradition have failed. It is a residual, implied jurisdiction.
80. Procedural steps have to be followed when an allegation of abuse of
process has been alleged; first to identity with specificity what I alleged
to constitute the abuse, second to satisfy the court hat the matter
complained of is capable of amounting to an abuse and third to satisfy
the court that there are reasonable grounds for believing that such
conduct has occurred (Hayes v Malta [2009] EWHC 880 (Admin).
81. The RP has to satisfy me that not only is the issue capable of being
raised but that there are reasonable grounds for believing the abuse has
occurred. This requires cogent evidence.
82. I do not find that that any cogent evident has been adduced to support
this challenge. There are no reasonable grounds to believe that any
abusive conduct has occurred. The warrant has been issued by a
competent judicial authority; two different investigations have been
conducted; there is no evidence to suggest the warrant has been issued
on an improperly motivated basis; the conduct in France occurred
between 1st June 2015 and 20th February 2017 and none of the conduct
occurred in the UK.
83. For these reasons I also reject this challenge.
84. I have found the warrant is valid under seciotn 2 of the Act and that the
conduct amounts to extradition offences under section 10 of the Act as
informed by section 64.
85. There are no bars to extradition.
86. Extradition would be compatible with the Convention rights and would
not be disproportionate.
87. There is no abuse of process.
88. Therefore, I order the RP's extradition to France pursuant to section
21A (5) of the Act.
District Judge (Magistrates' Court) Tempia.
Appropriate Judge.

Q: How to free a two dimensional array using malloc I have a array that has 6 elements. And each of those 6 elements have 40 elements. I am wondering when i free the malloced memory, do I have to free both or can i just free the main layer ( the one containing the 6 elements) will this automatically free the other secondary array?
 char ** listofdetails;  //FIRST ARRAY
    listofdetails = malloc(sizeof(char*)*6);

    for(i=0;i<6;i++)
    {
    listofdetails[i] = malloc(sizeof(char)*40); // SECONDARY ARRAY
    fgets(listofdetails[i], 40, fp);
    }

A: You need a destroying function like
 void destroy_array_of_cstrings (char**lis, size_t siz)
 {
    if (!lis) return;
    for (size_t ix=0; ix<siz; ix++) free (lis[ix]);
    free (lis);
 }

You'll call destroy_array_cstring(listofdetails, 6) in your case. As Alfred Hang answered, you should clear listofdetails immediately after: listofdetails=NULL; to avoid accidentally free-ing a pointer twice, or dereferencing a freed pointer.
You'll better use calloc for allocation of an array of pointers (you really want each of them to be initialized to NULL, which calloc does in practice).
See also this answer to a question also mentionning listeofdetails with 6 (so I guess it is the same homework).
BTW, you might later use Boehm's conservative garbage collector: you would use GC_MALLOC, GC_STRDUP and you won't bother about free-ing anymore. Discuss that with your teacher.

A: Rule of thumb: for every malloc there is a free.
You have to provide a similar loop where you free each individual string before freeing the array of strings.

A: In addition to Basile's answer, to avoid having dangling pointers after you free each array entry, it is a good idea to immediately set the pointer to null.
Reference: free()

A: No, the secondary arrays will not be freed automatically; you will need to explicitly free them before freeing listofdetails:
for ( i = 0; i < 6; i++ )
  free( listofdetails[i] );
free( listofdetails );

For every malloc there must be a free, and the free calls must be executed in the reverse order of the malloc calls.
If the number of columns is known at compile time1, you can allocate the whole thing in one malloc call, like so:
char (*listofdetails)[40] = malloc( sizeof *listofdetails * 6 );

This allocates a 6x40 array of char in a single call.  You'd use it pretty much the same way as you do above:
fgets( listofdetails[i], sizeof listofdetails[i], fp );

The type of listdetails[i] is "40-element array of char", so sizeof listdetails[i] will give us the same result as sizeof (char) * 40 (note that this only works because I declared listofdetails as a pointer to a 40-element array of char, not as a pointer to a pointer to char).
This also has the advantage that all of the rows are adjacent to each other in memory, which may matter for some situations.  That's not necessarily the case for the 2-step allocation method.
This only requires a single free call:
free( listofdetails );

but y'all probably aren't to the point of discussing pointers to arrays yet.

1.  If you're using a C99 compiler or a C2011 compiler that still supports variable-length arrays, you can still use the single malloc call like so:
size_t rows, cols;
...
char (*listofdetails[cols]) = malloc( sizeof *listofdetails * rows );
...
free( listofdetails );

Otherwise, you'll have to do the piecemeal allocation as in your code.

A: If you want to access listofdetails[i][j] like this, then yes, you will need to malloc the internal array. And you will have to free it separately too.
If you know the inner array size and it is fixed for all, then you can alloc everything up front (width * height) and access it like this: listofdetails[i * width + j]

A: After dynamically allocating memory for this aaray when it comes time to free one of these dynamically allocated multidimensional ``arrays,'' we must remember to free each of the chunks of memory that we've allocated. (Just freeing the top-level pointer, array, wouldn't cut it; if we did, all the second-level pointers would be lost but not freed, and would waste memory.) Here's what the code might look like:
for(i = 0; i < nrows; i++)
    free(array[i]);
free(array);

For your case it should be  :
for ( i = 0; i < 6; i++ )
  free( listofdetails[i] );
free( listofdetails );

The first inhaled insulin, Pfizer's Exubera, was approved by the FDA in 2006. It was ultimately removed from the market a year later due to poor sales.
In theory, the lungs are an excellent site for insulin delivery due to a large surface area as well as a very thin separation between the lungs and the blood stream. This allows for rapid transfer of the inhaled insulin without breakdown.
In clinical trials of ~3000 people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, A1c reductions with Afrezza were modestly inferior to insulin aspart in people with Type 1 diabetes, but superior to placebo in people with Type 2 diabetes treated with oral medications.
Fasting blood glucose levels were lower in people treated with Afrezza compared to aspart.
Clinically insignificant reductions in lung function were reported with initiation of therapy. These change were not progressive, and returned to baseline when therapy was discontinued.
Hypoglycemic risk, and weight gain, were less in people treated with Afrezza compared with those treated with aspart.
In contrast to the large inhalation device required for Exubera, the Afrezza Dreamboat inhaler is a much smaller device (approximately the size of an asthma inhaler) that easily fits in the palm of your hand.
Afrezza is available in two strengths: 4 units (a blue cartridge) and 8 units (green cartridge).
The doses are equivalent to 4 units and 8 units respectively of a rapid acting mealtime insulin. The inhaler may be used for up to 15 days.
If you need more than 8 units of insulin, you will need to use an additional cartridge.
Afrezza is delivered in powder form in a capsule.
Compared to nebulizers, powders are able to deliver more insulin and are more stable. After inhalation, the powder is aerosolized for delivery to the lung.
Peak levels of action are achieved within 12-14 minutes. The duration of action is up to 3 hours.
Due to inhaled insulin's relatively short duration of action, it can't be used as a basal insulin. It must thus always be used with a basal insulin in people with Type 1 diabetes.
Dosing is recommended immediately before a meal or within 20 minutes of beginning the meal.
Side effects include a mild cough (27%), throat irritation or pain and hypoglycemia.
Inhaled insulin is contraindicated in people with lung disease such as asthma or COPD due to variable insulin absorption and reduced efficacy.
Baseline lung testing (with FEV1) should be obtained before beginning treatment.
Lung testing is also recommended at 6 months, then every year. If there is a >20% decline in FEV1 during treatment, therapy should be discontinued.
Smokers should not receive inhaled insulin due to increased permeability of the lung-blood membrane resulting in increased insulin absorption.
The impact of second-hand smoke is unknown, but should be considered.
Although studies reported no loss of efficacy in the setting of simple upper respiratory infections, data is lacking regarding efficacy and safety with more severe lung infections.
Until more is known, increased caution is advisable even in the setting of mild infections.
Satisfaction with treatment has been uniformly high in the clinical trials, with at least one study reporting a 3x increase in satisfaction in subjects using Afrezza.
Potential disadvantages include reduced flexibility of dosing (especially in those who are very insulin sensitive), too short a duration of action, absence of long-term trials comparing inhaled insulin with prandial analogue insulins, increased prevalence of insulin antibody formation, the need for lung testing throughout treatment, and concerns regarding long-term effects on the lung, especially with respect to lung cancer cells.
Inhaled insulin is clearly an interesting option, but as with any therapy, should only be started after reviewing risks and benefits with your physician.

Office campus retrofitted to protect against blast risk
A range of buildings within an office campus have all been strengthened to protect against the risk of explosion in a nearby test centre. Royal HaskoningDHV was asked to assess the risk of explosions and ensure nearby buildings were sufficiently blast proof.
Blasts subject buildings to very high and very short loadings. The assessment of risk and identification of protective measures is a specialist area of expertise. In this case, it was complicated by the fact that none of the buildings were originally designed to be blast proof and that they varied in age and construction type. Equally, offices remained in use throughout the work, so disruption needed to be minimal.
Individual measures required for different structures
The potential risks were identified as extremely low but work was necessary to ensure complete confidence and safety for everyone who works on the campus. The buildings range from robust structures with pre-cast concrete walls and roof to a lightweight prefabricated site office with thin, fragile wall and roof structures. Individual measures were required for each building and special attention was given to commonly vulnerable facade openings like windows and doors.
Practical solutions necessary to avoid disruption to office activities
Solutions included applying blast-proof film to windows to keep panes intact and steel bars to catch a glass pane if it became detached from its mullions. The thin-walled building was provided with new, robust steel cladding.
Projects like this require tailored, practical solutions which can be applied with minimal disruption to activities in the buildings.
Harm Kraaijenbrink
Consulting Engineer at Royal HaskoningDHV
"It's quite different to newly designed buildings where blast requirements can be incorporated into the design. It's not unusual for differences to be identified between existing buildings and original drawings so we also provided support during implementation to adapt and finetune our solutions where necessary." explained Harm Kraaijenbrink, consulting engineer at Royal HaskoningDHV.

"This soup is a traditional vegetable soup with a little extra. I added homemade dumplings like my mom use to make for me. She made her soup with all the leftover vegetables in the refrigerator and then added dumplings. Good vegetarian soup without the meat."
Combine 6 cups vegetable broth, frozen vegetables, tomatoes with their juice, potatoes, onion, barley, garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours.
Place flour in a bowl; cut shortening into flour using a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1/4 cup vegetable broth; stir with a fork until dough no longer sticks on sides of bowl. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; roll out 1/8 inch thick. Cut dough into strips or small squares. Add to slow cooker; cook until dumplings are soft and cooked in the middle, 1 hour.
A cheesy French onion soup with a comforting beefy broth.
Wasnt bad, but I agree with the gummy feeling/taste review of Carlin A. Wont make again but if you prefer a brothy soup, this is more of a stewy feel.
soup has been cooking for 7 hrs but tastes very good, i am not adding dumplings just want a nice vegi soup. will cook longer to get the onions to cook more.
This was a nice easy soup. My family liked the dumplings. I didn't have barley so I used quinoa. It came out delicious.

Politics Blog: Never a dull moment in the Burnaby South by-election
Burnaby, B.C. – February 1, 2019 – Ever since the seat became vacant six months ago, there have been many twists and turns in the riding of Burnaby South. Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced he would run for the seat when a by-election was finally called by Prime Minister Trudeau in January. The by-election will be held on February 25.
After much delay, the Liberals nominated daycare operator and failed B.C. Liberal candidate Karen Wang as their candidate. But shortly after her nomination, Wang made racist comments about Singh on a Chinese social media site. She then resigned her candidacy, only to try and withdraw her resignation two days later. But the Liberals rejected the withdrawal and set out to find a new candidate. Soon after, news leaked that Wang had approached the Conservative Party last year and asked them about running for the party in the 2019 Federal Election. But the Conservatives turned down her candidacy. Then it was revealed that local Liberals had warned the national party about potential problems with Wang, but to no avail.
The Liberals have now appointed former B.C. Liberal MLA Richard Lee as their candidate. Lee was defeated by the NDP in the 2017 B.C. provincial election. And it is possible that controversy may also follow Lee. The current speaker of the B.C. Legislature has just released a scathing report about misspending by legislative officials who worked for the Speakers Office. The report says previous speakers – all of whom were Liberal MLAs – turned a blind eye to the misspending taking place under their watch. Lee was the Deputy Speaker from 2015 to 2017.
Meanwhile, Maxime Bernier's People's Party announced that their candidate would be Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson. Thompson is a former pundit on Christian television who recently ran for school trustee in Burnaby. She is an ardent anti-abortion activist but is better known as an outspoken critic of resources developed to help B.C. schools support LGBTQ students and make schools more inclusive. She has dedicated a good portion of her life to fighting what she calls "a global initiative to make the ideology of the LGBTQ well accepted and taught even in pre-school." Thompson's views are so extreme that even the B.C. Conservative Party twice rejected her as a possible candidate.
Throughout this entire circus, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has taken the high road. He accepted Wang's apology for her inappropriate comments and talked about the importance of bringing people together regardless of their racial or ethnic backgrounds. He continues to voice his support for the LGBTQ community and is offering real policy positions on issues like affordable housing, which is a major problem in Burnaby. So, despite all the twists and turns in Burnaby South, it appears likely that Singh could soon be serving as the MP for the riding.

Q: ggplot2 2.0.0 coloured boxplots and jitter with borders I am trying to make a boxplot filled by a binary variable, with a facet grid. I also want to have jitter on top of the boxplots, but without getting them confused with the outliers. In order to fix this, I have added colour to the jitter, but by doing so, they meld in with the already coloured boxplots, as they are the same colour.
I really want to keep the colours the same, so is there a way to add borders to the jitter (or is there a different way to fix the outlier problem)?
Example code:
plot <- ggplot(mpg, aes(class, hwy))+
   geom_boxplot(aes(fill = drv))+
   geom_jitter(width = .3, aes(colour =drv))
 #  facet_grid(. ~some_binary_variable, scales="free")

A: You can use a filled plotting symbol (21:25, cf. ?pch) and then use a white border to differentiate the points:
ggplot(mpg, aes(class, hwy))+
    geom_boxplot(aes(fill = drv))+
    geom_jitter(width = .3, aes(fill = drv), shape = 21, color = "white")

Q: How to log every "throw" in node.js program? I have a quite large js codebase that is run as node.js script. I'd like to log every exception even if it is caught inside the production code.
Is it possible to achieve? I thought about injecting some code inside Error constructor by redefining it, but some parts of code throw custom errors. Redefining all error types from the production code is not feasible, neither is adding logging logic next to every throw statement and/or try-catch block.
The best solution would be to somehow redefine throw keyword - is that possible?

A: There is an event for unhandled exceptions:
process.on('uncaughtException', function (err) {
  console.log('Caught exception: ' + err);
});

"Aquaponics, the cultivation of fish and plants together in an constructed ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish wastes to plant nutrients.
Aquaponics is a Natural way to grow food without the worry of toxic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers since those things would harm the fish and bacteria. Biological and mechanical pest control are practiced in Aquaponics.
By adding plants to a recirculating aquaculture set up (or even an aquarium) one can reduce or eliminate the need to change water because the nutrients are now resources for the plants rather than pollution for the fish. And by using fish waste as the nutrient source, the hydroponic portion avoids having to buy costly chemical fertilizer mixes to grow plants.
There are many types of Aquaponics systems out there though the most widely used are Raft Bed (DWC, deep water culture) and Media Bed (gravel bed). There are also NFT systems (Nutrient Film Technique), Vertical systems, tower systems, and Combination systems.
4-some means of adequate solids filtration that will not deplete the rest of the system of dissolved oxygen or cause the build up of negative compounds.
a-Plan on at least 5-10 gallons of fish tank per grown out fish.
b-At least 1 cubic foot (about 7.5 gallons) of grow bed per pound of grown out fish.
c-Pump or circulate the volume of the fish tank at least once an hour.
d-additional aeration or circulation should be provided all the time. If the pump does not run all the time spraying water into the fish tank, an air pump or additional small circulation pump can take care of this.
e-always use big enough plumbing for the pump.
g-Always install overflows lower than you think you want them, it is easy to use plumbing to make them effectively higher but if they are too high, it requires another hole to make it lower.
h-Plumb in a bypass. Put a T on the feed out of the pump and send part of it with a valve back into the same tank the pump is in. If for some reason the flow from the pump is too much, open the valve to bypass some of the flow back into the same than the pump draws from. This allows one to restrict the flow into a tank or bed without straining the pump and the extra flow splashing back into the tank just provides extra aeration.
I-Run initial tests on the source water and remember that the water must be allowed to air before the pH tests will be accurate.
J-I highly recommend Fishless Cycling.

Diamond Resorts is a timeshare company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with regional offices in Orlando, Florida and Lancaster, United Kingdom. The company has a network of more than 379 vacation destinations in 35 countries around the world and sells vacation ownership points. The company sponsors numerous celebrities, including LPGA professional Brittany Lincicome, PGA Tour professional Brian Gay and MLB Hall of Famers Gaylord Perry and Reggie Jackson. The company also pairs with country music artists, including Cole Swindell, Lauren Alaina and Jana Kramer to host private concerts for its members.

History

Diamond Resorts launched the Diamond Resorts Invitational in 2013 to benefit Florida Hospital for Children. Through the golf tournament, the company has raised a total of more than $3.1 million to the children's hospital. In March 2018, the company announced it was sponsoring a new golf tournament, the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, with the LPGA as an official season event.

In October 2015, DRI bought out Gold Key Resorts for $167.5 million. This acquisition added five vacation ownership resorts in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and one in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. That same month, Diamond Resorts pledged to match all new donations made to the Diamond Resorts International Foundation, a recognized 501(c)(3) organization, in 2017 up to $1 million to support Hurricane Irma relief efforts.

Diamond Resorts acquired Intrawest Resort Club Group in November 2015, adding nine resorts and 22,000 members. After the acquisition, Diamond Resorts re-branded the Intrawest Resort Club Group as Embarc Resorts.

On June 29, 2016, Apollo Global Management made a successful offer to purchase Diamond Resorts International.

On December 23, 2016 Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced a settlement of $800,000 with Diamond Resorts. As part of the settlement, customers who bought their timeshares under false pretenses could relinquish them.

Michael Flaskey was named chief executive officer of the company in March 2017.

On January 18, 2018, the company underwent a brand refresh, updating its logo and officially dropping International from its name to be known as Diamond Resorts.

Diamond Resorts announced in March 2018 that the company was partnering with the LPGA to launch the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions. The tournament begins the LPGA's 2019 season and features tournament winners from the previous two LPGA seasons, along with celebrity participants. The Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions replaces the golf tournament the company previously sponsored, the Diamond Resorts Invitational.
That same month, acquired Amber Vacation Club in March 2018 and will assume operations at Amber's managed resorts, Sunrise Ridge Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and Alhambra Villas and Alhambra at Poinciana in Kissimmee, Florida.

Criticism and controversy

Sales tactics
Diamond Resorts is notable for high-pressure sales tactics used to close sales and generate fees for consumers. Club members are charged yearly maintenance fees (including management fees), which are set by Diamond Resorts and which the FTC warns are likely to rise every year. Diamond Resorts's official 2014 SEC filing states that club members do not have the right to terminate membership, except in certain areas where consumers are protected by state law.  Jeff Weir, a Diamond timeshare owner and journalist covering the timeshare industry, told The New York Times, "In my experience, Diamond is much more ambitious, aggressive and downright nasty in their sales presentations compared to Marriott and Westin. Diamond just has an amazing reputation of being tough on people."

Mike Flaskey, the company's current chief executive officer, spoke on Fox Business about how the company is shaking up its sales and marketing model to better meet traveler's desires.

Legal issues
On December 23, 2016, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced a settlement of $800,000 with Diamond Resorts over accusations that Diamond Resorts had violated the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. Of the settlement funds, $650,000 were used for customer restitution. Under the settlement, customers who had purchased timeshares in Arizona between January 1, 2011, and July 23, 2017, could be released from their timeshare, provided they gave a detailed description of deceptive statements or false promises made by Diamond Resorts employees during the sale.

The Attorney General's website states that alleged misrepresentations were related to:

Chicago's South Side has long been saddled with a reputation that can come across as comically out of proportion with the reality of it for those of us who grew up there. This was true long before the president used it as a campaign trail dog whistle and conservatives held it up as a symbol of urban violence run amok.
In the imaginations of people who have never set foot further south than downtown's Loop — and that includes a large portion of the city's white residents — the area is synonymous with housing projects, run-down neighborhoods and gang violence. Something to be survived, as opposed to a place where people barbecue in their back yards, operate businesses, help their neighbors, go to church, shop, and basically live their lives just like everybody else.
A person raised there might respond that, yes, those negative elements exist in their neighborhoods. But the South Side of Chicago, like any other place on the planet, is defined foremost by its people. "The Chi," Lena Waithe's Showtime series premiering Sunday at 10 p.m., captures this truth more than any other Chicago-based series on television even as it grapples with the broad scope of its tangle of narratives.
Within the first four episodes, Waithe and the producers create a bricolage of character arcs, narrative styles and dramatic genres that at times comes across as cumbersome or even frenetic. The resulting tale attempts to achieve a lot of things at once while tying everything together with a crime story developing as a subplot. In this sense its execution isn't completely clean and can be somewhat confusing.
But its saving grace, the aspect that comes across with complete clarity, is the joy and sorrow and struggle channeled through these characters, all of whom live with and react to different circumstances presented to them within the same set of urban boundaries. One family can produce a striver (Jason Mitchell) and a smart, sensitive kid whose cockiness and streetwise sensibility leads him to make poor choices. Another allows tragedy to blind them with a wrath that spirals outward, and still another forces a handsome, carefree kid (Jacob Latimore) to contend with the duties of adulthood when circumstances drop responsibility at his feet.
Each of these people, even the most imperfect, breathes a distinctive culture into their neighborhood, and their kindness and creativity lends as much warmth and flavor to their community as the desperation and rage that painted the place its reputation for danger and bitterness. And that's just part of the story we see in these first episodes.
"The Chi" may not be the first TV attempt to bring viewers into the streets, pulpits, living rooms and lives of a populace many are more comfortable judging from the outside. But it is the rare drama that begins by seating the audience inside the hearts and heads of the characters who live there.
Only then do the writers introduce a familiar catalyst, a pair of related crimes, to muddle any emotional clarity one may begin to attach to these characters. The crimes themselves shock, break our hearts even, and it's simultaneously unfortunate and forgivable that this aspect of the plot so obviously lacks polish.
This show isn't "The Wire," though at times its careful consideration seems clearly influenced by that groundbreaking drama. Rather, if Waithe draws any lessons from the narrative style employed in that HBO series, it's in laying out the reasons that the people in her series do what they do in a way that's rational and understandable. In that way a down-on-his-luck drifter who would be conveniently expendable on another series (played with sensitivity by Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) becomes central to a story that ranges wide and wanders across a web of stories and emotions. The aforementioned crimes fray the fiber of the community's web and hint at playing an auxiliary role in a burgeoning subplot related to corruption in the local police department. But the cops on that force don't uniformly wear that same stain, particularly Detective Cruz (Armando Riesco), who commits himself to knowing the people on his beat where others would see them in the same light.
"The Chi" also leads viewers through the story from a child's point of view, anchored by an energetic performance by Alex Hibbert, whose character Kevin unwittingly becomes a link between the tensions in the adult world and the innocent joys and annoyance of being school-aged. One scene tells it all, as Kevin darts from a real danger for fear of his life only to find himself captured by an amorous girl.
At times the leaps between these different subplots can feel a bit like whiplash, but the performances are rendered with such passion and heart as to ease the viewer's way toward embracing the feelings these characters engender in us as opposed to being distracted by its all-in-one presentation.
But this only embodies the concurrent simplicity and difficulty of Waithe's task in accurately depicting "The Chi." All we're asking the producers to do is show us the truth about a multifaceted place with all of its vitality, uniqueness, greatness and strife. All the drama's creators ask, in return, is to recognize that the place is built upon the fortitude of its people.
