Harvey said at a news conference that professional heroin dealers ultimately will kill someone.
Federal law provides for sentences of at least 20 years for drug dealers in cases where someone they sell to dies or is injured. If the dealer has a prior conviction, the penalty can be life in prison.
Harvey's office started an effort about 18 months ago to prosecute more overdose cases in federal court under the law.
Federal authorities met with state and local police and officials to encourage them to contact Harvey's office or the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration about overdose deaths and injuries.
Harvey's office provided training to local officials who wanted to get cases into federal court under the initiative. Prosecutors in the office gave police their cell phone numbers so they can call for advice on a case at any time.
Harvey said his office has prosecuted a total of 15 or 20 people under the initiative. The three guilty pleas Monday show the effort is working, Harvey said.
In one, Luis Aguirre-Jerardo, 28, admitted he sold a pill to drug dealer Gill Dewayne Garrett, 30, of Lexington, in July 2015, who in turn sold it to Versailles resident Jolene Bowman.
Bowman, 37, injected the pill in a bathroom stall of the business where she worked and died.
Aguirre marked the pill to look like oxycodone, a much-prescribed painkiller.
However, it contained fentanyl, which is 40 to 50 times as strong as street-level heroin. Bowman did not know the strength of the drug she was getting, said her sister, Jennifer Powell, who spoke at the news conference.
Bowman had a daughter and son and worked steadily, but developed a drug problem after going through a divorce and had struggled with addiction for years, Powell said.
Bowman had gotten off drugs, but her former dealer had pestered her for months to begin abusing drugs again, texting her, offering to deliver drugs and even sending her photos of heroin, Powell said.
Bowman ultimately succumbed to a bad decision, Powell said.
"I know my sister was victimized by predators who sought to profit from her addiction with no regard for her struggle and no remorse for our loss," Powell said.
The case illustrates a growing problem in Kentucky — drug dealers selling fentanyl to people who think they are getting heroin.
Drug cartels make fentanyl in labs in Mexico and can boost their profits by substituting it for heroin, Harvey said.
However, drug users don't often know they are getting the more powerful drug.
Fentanyl played a key role in driving up the number of overdose deaths in Kentucky in 2015 to a record high of 1,248 people, up from 1,088 in 2014, according to the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy.
The number of deaths involving fentanyl, alone or combined with heroin, jumped to 420 in 2015 from about 120 the year before, according to the office.
Overdose deaths have gone up more sharply in Fayette County than in the state as a whole in recent years because of heroin and fentanyl.
Aguirre made a plea agreement that calls for a sentence of 28 to 33 years. Garrett pleaded guilty earlier and faces a minimum 20-year sentence.
Harvey said the case was the first in which his office prosecuted a street-level drug dealer and a person higher on the supply chain for the same overdose.
That's one benefit of the potentially tough sentences under the federal overdose law.
In addition to serving as a deterrent and providing justice for victims and families, the law also can push drug dealers to cooperate with police to investigate others in a drug ring, Harvey said.
In another case announced Tuesday, Fred Rebmann, 31, admitted he sold a $60 dose of fentanyl last February in Lexington to Katie Cassity, 27, who was six months pregnant.
Cassity, who thought she was getting heroin, died of an overdose. Police found her on the floor of her bathroom.
Messages on her cell phone led to Rebmann. He could be sentenced to life.
In the third case, Navarius "V" Westberry, 38, pleaded guilty to supplying heroin and fentanyl that killed Corey Brewer, 25. Police found him with his head slumped over in a car in the parking lot of a Richmond store in March.
His mother, Julie Robinson, said her son had taken painkillers to deal with a degenerative back disease, but she didn't know he was using heroin.
A few months before Brewer died, he told his mother she had been an example of unconditional love during his struggle with drugs, an emotional Robinson said.
"I wanted him to be clean," she said.
Harvey said Detroit is a key source of heroin coming into Central Kentucky. Westberry was among a number of drug dealers who have moved to the region from Detroit in recent years to set up drug networks, Harvey said.
Four other people pleaded guilty in the case. Westberry and one other, Benjamin Fredrick Charles Robinson, 21, also from Detroit, face sentences of 20 years to life, according to Harvey's office.
Harvey said that abuse of opioid drugs — which include heroin, fentanyl and prescription painkillers such as oxycodone — has reached crisis levels in the district where he is the chief federal prosecutor, which covers 67 counties from Frankfort east.
Some ominous changes are helping drive the problem, he said: heroin is stronger, cheaper and more widely available than a generation ago, and users are younger and less experienced with drugs.
They also are more likely to be middle class, Harvey said.
He provided research showing that between 2000 and 2013, the largest growth in heroin overdose deaths in the U.S. was among non-Hispanic white people ages 18 to 44.
This horrible crisis calls for an all-hands-on-deck solution. This is a problem that will destroy our communities if we don't solve it.
The pathway to heroin also has changed. Many users now move from pills — which some have seen as more acceptable because they are medicine — to heroin.
Law enforcement is one piece of the response to the problem, but there also is a need for more treatment, greater public awareness and more knowledge by parents, Harvey said.
Any parent of a teenager should be aware that their child is likely to be confronted by a decision on whether to use drugs, Harvey said.
Harvey also said naloxone should be widely available. The drug can reverse the effect of an opioid overdose.
The Kroger Co. announced this week that it has made naloxone available at 96 of its pharmacies, including in Lexington, without a prescription to try to decrease overdose deaths.
Harvey said it was a good development.

Day 156 – Jesus Casts Out Demons
In today's readings we learn that Jesus sends the deamons into a heard of two thousand pigs. For Jesus, one person is worth more that two thousand pigs — even though pigs are valuable during that time. The world is under the dominion of sin (satan). God shines a beam of light into this darkness. With every exorcism, Jesus is taking back his Father's kingdom from satan.
Jesus tells us not to be afraid. We should give him what we have to help others. How can you give what you have to help others?
1 They reached the territory of the Gerasenes on the other side of the lake,
2 and when he disembarked, a man with an unclean spirit at once came out from the tombs towards him.
3 The man lived in the tombs and no one could secure him any more, even with a chain,
4 because he had often been secured with fetters and chains but had snapped the chains and broken the fetters, and no one had the strength to control him.
5 All night and all day, among the tombs and in the mountains, he would howl and gash himself with stones.
6 Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and fell at his feet
7 and shouted at the top of his voice, 'What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? In God's name do not torture me!'
8 For Jesus had been saying to him, 'Come out of the man, unclean spirit.'
9 Then he asked, 'What is your name?' He answered, 'My name is Legion, for there are many of us.'
10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the district.
11 Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding,
12 and the unclean spirits begged him, 'Send us to the pigs, let us go into them.'
13 So he gave them leave. With that, the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand pigs charged down the cliff into the lake, and there they were drowned.
14 The men looking after them ran off and told their story in the city and in the country round about; and the people came to see what had really happened.
15 They came to Jesus and saw the demoniac sitting there — the man who had had the legion in him — properly dressed and in his full senses, and they were afraid.
16 And those who had witnessed it reported what had happened to the demoniac and what had become of the pigs.
17 Then they began to implore Jesus to leave their neighbourhood.
18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed begged to be allowed to stay with him.
19 Jesus would not let him but said to him, 'Go home to your people and tell them all that the Lord in his mercy has done for you.'
20 So the man went off and proceeded to proclaim in the Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
21 When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered round him and he stayed by the lake.
22 Then the president of the synagogue came up, named Jairus, and seeing him, fell at his feet
23 and begged him earnestly, saying, 'My little daughter is desperately sick. Do come and lay your hands on her that she may be saved and may live.'
24 Jesus went with him and a large crowd followed him; they were pressing all round him.
25 Now there was a woman who had suffered from a haemorrhage for twelve years;
26 after long and painful treatment under various doctors, she had spent all she had without being any the better for it; in fact, she was getting worse.
27 She had heard about Jesus, and she came up through the crowd and touched his cloak from behind, thinking,
28 'If I can just touch his clothes, I shall be saved.'
29 And at once the source of the bleeding dried up, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her complaint.
30 And at once aware of the power that had gone out from him, Jesus turned round in the crowd and said, 'Who touched my clothes?'
31 His disciples said to him, 'You see how the crowd is pressing round you; how can you ask, "Who touched me?" '
32 But he continued to look all round to see who had done it.
33 Then the woman came forward, frightened and trembling because she knew what had happened to her, and she fell at his feet and told him the whole truth.
34 'My daughter,' he said, 'your faith has restored you to health; go in peace and be free of your complaint.'
35 While he was still speaking some people arrived from the house of the president of the synagogue to say, 'Your daughter is dead; why put the Master to any further trouble?'
36 But Jesus overheard what they said and he said to the president of the synagogue, 'Do not be afraid; only have faith.'
37 And he allowed no one to go with him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.
38 So they came to the house of the president of the synagogue, and Jesus noticed all the commotion, with people weeping and wailing unrestrainedly.
39 He went in and said to them, 'Why all this commotion and crying? The child is not dead, but asleep.'
40 But they ridiculed him. So he turned them all out and, taking with him the child's father and mother and his own companions, he went into the place where the child lay.
41 And taking the child by the hand he said to her, 'Talitha kum!' which means, 'Little girl, I tell you to get up.'
42 The little girl got up at once and began to walk about, for she was twelve years old. At once they were overcome with astonishment,
43 and he gave them strict orders not to let anyone know about it, and told them to give her something to eat.
1 Leaving that district, he went to his home town, and his disciples accompanied him.
2 With the coming of the Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and most of them were astonished when they heard him. They said, 'Where did the man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been granted him, and these miracles that are worked through him?
3 This is the carpenter, surely, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joset and Jude and Simon? His sisters, too, are they not here with us?' And they would not accept him.
4 And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is despised only in his own country, among his own relations and in his own house';
5 and he could work no miracle there, except that he cured a few sick people by laying his hands on them.
6 He was amazed at their lack of faith. He made a tour round the villages, teaching.
7 Then he summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8 And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff — no bread, no haversack, no coppers for their purses.
9 They were to wear sandals but, he added, 'Don't take a spare tunic.'
10 And he said to them, 'If you enter a house anywhere, stay there until you leave the district.
11 And if any place does not welcome you and people refuse to listen to you, as you walk away shake off the dust under your feet as evidence to them.'
12 So they set off to proclaim repentance;
13 and they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
14 King Herod had heard about him, since by now his name was well known. Some were saying, 'John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.'
15 Others said, 'He is Elijah,' others again, 'He is a prophet, like the prophets we used to have.'
16 But when Herod heard this he said, 'It is John whose head I cut off; he has risen from the dead.'
17 Now it was this same Herod who had sent to have John arrested, and had had him chained up in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife whom he had married.
18 For John had told Herod, 'It is against the law for you to have your brother's wife.'
19 As for Herodias, she was furious with him and wanted to kill him, but she was not able to do so,
20 because Herod was in awe of John, knowing him to be a good and upright man, and gave him his protection. When he had heard him speak he was greatly perplexed, and yet he liked to listen to him.
21 An opportunity came on Herod's birthday when he gave a banquet for the nobles of his court, for his army officers and for the leading figures in Galilee.
22 When the daughter of this same Herodias came in and danced, she delighted Herod and his guests; so the king said to the girl, 'Ask me anything you like and I will give it you.'
23 And he swore her an oath, 'I will give you anything you ask, even half my kingdom.'
24 She went out and said to her mother, 'What shall I ask for?' She replied, 'The head of John the Baptist.'
25 The girl at once rushed back to the king and made her request, 'I want you to give me John the Baptist's head, immediately, on a dish.'
26 The king was deeply distressed but, thinking of the oaths he had sworn and of his guests, he was reluctant to break his word to her.
27 At once the king sent one of the bodyguard with orders to bring John's head.
28 The man went off and beheaded him in the prison; then he brought the head on a dish and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 When John's disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
30 The apostles rejoined Jesus and told him all they had done and taught.
31 And he said to them, 'Come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while'; for there were so many coming and going that there was no time for them even to eat.
32 So they went off in the boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves.
33 But people saw them going, and many recognised them; and from every town they all hurried to the place on foot and reached it before them.
34 So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.
35 By now it was getting very late, and his disciples came up to him and said, 'This is a lonely place and it is getting very late,
36 so send them away, and they can go to the farms and villages round about, to buy themselves something to eat.'
37 He replied, 'Give them something to eat yourselves.' They answered, 'Are we to go and spend two hundred denarii on bread for them to eat?'
38 He asked, 'How many loaves have you? Go and see.' And when they had found out they said, 'Five, and two fish.'
39 Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass,
40 and they sat down on the ground in squares of hundreds and fifties.
41 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the blessing; then he broke the loaves and began handing them to his disciples to distribute among the people. He also shared out the two fish among them all.
42 They all ate as much as they wanted.
43 They collected twelve basketfuls of scraps of bread and pieces of fish.
44 Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.
45 And at once he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side near Bethsaida, while he himself sent the crowd away.
46 After saying goodbye to them he went off into the hills to pray.
47 When evening came, the boat was far out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 He could see that they were hard pressed in their rowing, for the wind was against them; and about the fourth watch of the night he came towards them, walking on the sea. He was going to pass them by,
49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost and cried out;
50 for they had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke to them and said, 'Courage! It's me! Don't be afraid.'
51 Then he got into the boat with them and the wind dropped. They were utterly and completely dumbfounded,
52 because they had not seen what the miracle of the loaves meant; their minds were closed.
53 Having made the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored there.
54 When they disembarked people at once recognised him,
55 and started hurrying all through the countryside and brought the sick on stretchers to wherever they heard he was.
56 And wherever he went, to village or town or farm, they laid down the sick in the open spaces, begging him to let them touch even the fringe of his cloak. And all those who touched him were saved.
1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] Yahweh, the king rejoices in your power; How your saving help fills him with joy!
2 You have granted him his heart's desire, not denied him the prayer of his lips.
3 For you come to meet him with blessings of prosperity, put a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He has asked for life, you have given it him, length of days for ever and ever.
5 Great his glory through your saving help; you invest him with splendour and majesty.
6 You confer on him everlasting blessings, you gladden him with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king puts his trust in Yahweh; the faithful love of the Most High will keep him from falling.
8 Your hand will reach all your enemies, your right hand all who hate you.
9 You will hurl them into a blazing furnace on the day when you appear; Yahweh will engulf them in his anger, and fire will devour them.
10 You will purge the earth of their descendants, the human race of their posterity.
11 They have devised evil against you but, plot as they may, they will not succeed,
12 since you will make them turn tail, by shooting your arrows in their faces.
13 Rise, Yahweh, in your power! We will sing and make music in honour of your strength.

ACC Response to CNN Story on Chemical Safety
Contact: Lisa Harrison (703) 741-5810
Email: lisa_harrison@americanchemistry.com
ARLINGTON, VA (June 1, 2010) - The American Chemistry Council (ACC) today reaffirmed the safety of chemical products for their intended uses. The public should not be misled that products made from chemicals are inherently dangerous. In fact, chemical innovations have contributed to the solutions that help preserve the environment, and protect the health and safety of employees, communities and consumers.
The safety of chemical products and manufacturing processes""and the safety of chemical plant communities""is a top priority of the chemical industry. Every day we make decisions to minimize risks and take appropriate measures to manage those risks. We believe the benefits of products like life-saving medicines, air bags and materials that save energy far outweigh the risks.
Contrary to some reports, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not been idle in regulating chemicals in commerce. EPA has required additional testing on hundreds of chemicals, and has imposed appropriate controls on thousands of others, in their implementation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). EPA has the authority to require manufacturers to develop specific test data and can block a chemical's use or release into the marketplace until it is satisfied with the information received. More importantly, EPA exercises that authority.
Consumers deserve to have confidence that the products they buy, when used for their intended purposes, are safe. Consumers also deserve to have confidence that the federal regulatory system can protect against significant risks to health and the environment. That is why ACC and our members support changes to TSCA that enhance public confidence, allow the Agency to harness the important advances in science and technology for health and environmental protection, and foster the jobs and innovation that characterize the chemical industry.

With sales fallings, Ilkal saree weavers struggle for profit
Arts & Culture Capstone Ilkal Taluk
April 6, 2020 April 11, 2020 Kavitha R985Leave a Comment on With sales fallings, Ilkal saree weavers struggle for profit
Government schemes are not benefiting the weavers due to lack of awareness among them.
The Ilkal Saree weavers in Bagalkot district complain that the sale of the Ilkal sarees has gone down drastically which lead them to face loss and loan problems. Welfare policies provided by the government are away from their reach.
Ilkal town in Bagalkot district is known for its famous traditional Ilkal sarees for centuries and continues to attract saree lovers. Ilkal saree is also a GI (Geographical Indication) protected craft of India. Artisans who have GI tag for the Ilkal saree became scanty struggling to make a living now.
Ningappa Nashatti, senior handloom weaver who has been in this field for the past 40 years, said the business is not the same that they had a decade earlier. "It takes 4 days to complete a saree for which we get a measly profit of Rs.200 to Rs.300. For a month, 20 to 40 sarees can be sold. The income from the business is insufficient to even run the family. The marketing for the saree is very poor. We are not getting any subsidies from the government too."
Everyone in Padmavati Kenchi's family is doing the weaving. She learned the skills when she was very young and helped her parents in the business throughout. Padmavati's family got Mudra loan from the government. "Along with repaying the loan, we have to pay GST as well. Despite getting fewer wages and sustaining a living, we have to make money for these too. It is so difficult for us to get through the struggles."
According to the Third All India Handloom Census (2009–10), the number of handloom weavers has plummeted. The record shows that the number of households engaged in handloom weaving had decreased by three lakhs. It was observed that the young people from the community are not willing to continue what their parents did for a living.
Another problem the weavers face is the rising cost of raw materials including silk and cotton which has doubled in recent years.
Narayan PK, the raw material distributor said, "Cotton and viscose raw materials are coming from Maharastra and Resham from Bengaluru. We are selling the raw material according to the quality. If the quality is high, we sell it for Rs.6000 at the maximum. Now the number of distributors who supply raw materials have increased rapidly. So our business is also falling flat with fewer customers approaching."
For the overall development of handloom industry/sector and the welfare of handloom weavers, the Government of India introduced 6 policies including Handloom Weavers' Comprehensive Welfare Scheme, National Handloom Development Programme (NHDP), Weaver MUDRA Scheme, Hathkargha Samvardhan Sahayata, Comprehensive Handloom Cluster Development Scheme and Yarn Supply Scheme. But the Ilkal saree weavers are not sensitized to apply for the schemes. The Third All India Handloom Census report also points out that more than 65% of handloom weavers are unaware of the welfare schemes.
Shrikant Gulad, Union Secretary of Samruddhi Women Handloom Weavers Co-operative said, "Handloom weavers do not have proper marketing. Subsidies provided by the government to the handloom weavers haven't reached them. After coming under our union, we are providing wages properly."
PN Arashanagi, Karnataka Handloom Development Corporation Assistant, Ilkal, said, "During festival seasons we are providing Rs.5000 to the weaver's families. We are providing subsidies too."
Manju Cherian, Professor at JD Institute of Fashion Designing, Kochi said, "Ilkal sarees are a work of art and it involves a lengthy process at a high cost. But customers neglect to buy this as it is just art silk. The brand value is lower compared to pure silk."
She opined that the government handloom policies are ineffective for the weavers due to the intervention of third parties in it. "The third parties decide what should be given to the weaver. For a costly saree, the weaver gets a cheaper price and the third party take all the benefits."
Koppal district has a total of 1142 government schools.
There are 359 government schools in Gangavathi taluk
Rural Koppal's literacy rates lag behind the literacy rates of urban areas.

The production of Ilkal saree began in the 8th century during Chalukya dynasty. Ilkal sarees gained fame as they are hand-woven. A decade ago, more than 20,000 families were weaving Ilkal sarees. However, in recent years the numbers have reduced to 5,000.

Debunker Quits
Caitlin Dewey explains why she is giving up on the Washington Post column she has compiled for the last year and a half, "What Was Fake On The Internet This Week." She says that there are just too many fake news sites that tell outrageous agenda-based stories, targeted to readers who are quick to believe them:
Paul Horner, the proprietor of Nbc.com.co and a string of other very profitable fake-news sites, once told me he specifically tries to invent stories that will provoke strong reactions in middle-aged conservatives. They share a lot on Facebook, he explained; they're the ideal audience.
As manipulative as that may seem, many other sites are worse: there's Now8News, which runs outrageous crime stories next to the stolen mugshots of poor, often black, people; or World News Daily Report, which delights in inventing items about foreigners, often Muslims, having sex with or killing animals.
Needless to say, there are also more complicated, non-economic reasons for the change on the Internet hoax beat. For evidence, just look at some of the viral stories we've debunked in recent weeks: American Muslims rallying for ISIS, for instance, or Syrians invading New Orleans. Those items didn't even come from outright fake-news sites: They originated with partisan bloggers who know how easy it is to profit off fear-mongering.
Frankly, this column wasn't designed to address the current environment. This format doesn't make sense. I've spoken to several researchers and academics about this lately, because it's started to feel a little pointless. Walter Quattrociocchi, the head of the Laboratory of Computational Social Science at IMT Lucca in Italy, has spent several years studying how conspiracy theories and misinformation spread online, and he confirmed some of my fears: Essentially, he explained, institutional distrust is so high right now, and cognitive bias so strong always, that the people who fall for hoax news stories are frequently only interested in consuming information that conforms with their views — even when it's demonstrably fake.

Why IBMH is growing internationally ?
IBMH Corporation, Ltd. Was created as a result of more than 21 years of experience, of which 16 are dedicated to management of Chinese importation carried out by José Duque, CEO of IBMH . Now its international expansion is more than settled Would you like to know why ?
IBMH Corp. works independently as a Purchasing Agent in China, selecting suppliers based on their competitiveness and technical suitability. This is how the company manages in China purchases of Hardware Fittings for Furniture and Doors.
At this point, there is a comparative advantage in expanding abroad which is "Specialization": to specialize in something brings you more opportunities to do business abroad. At the same time, however, there are also many problems concerning expanding abroad, such as the specificities of China or the legal or cultural differences. In that sense it is possible to emphasize the differences in character between operators of this market and the European : they are not concerned about stabilizing temporarily relations, they focus their attention just on what they have in front of their eyes, in the here and now.
Nowadays, there are many companies in China dedicated to purchasing management and quality control but without any technical specialization and without really knowing the product that they want to buy. To really know the products on a technical level and always apply the strictest quality controls, are some of the reasons that makes IBMH stand out . At the same time, this specialization generates joint purchases with a bigger volume which ables us to offer better economic conditions for all our customers.
Finally, we would like to add as a principal achievement on an international level, that we are proud to count on the support of many companies in a wide range of Latin American countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Chile, Argentina, Nicaragua, etc., as well as several European countries , Such as France, Italy, Poland Portugal, etc …, we even have customers in countries as diverse as Australia or Russia.

Dembekjian, Dewi Promoted Within IAPMO R&T
IAPMO R&T's Ohannes Dembekjian has been promoted to Senior Director of Continuous Compliance and Shirley Dewi to Director of Management System Registration Services within North America's premier plumbing and mechanical product certification agency. The IAPMO Group's Chief Executive Officer GP Russ Chaney announced the promotions Aug. 6.
Dembekjian, who has served since Jan. 1, 1999, as director of Continuous Compliance, manages around 20 contracted inspectors stationed strategically all over the globe. IAPMO R&T's Continuous Compliance department each year conducts more than 3,000 audits worldwide at manufacturing and warehouse facilities seeking to maintain their products' certification or establish a new certification. These surveillance audits ensure that listed products have remained in compliance with all applicable standards since the product was originally tested and certified while also ensuring compliance to the Uniform Plumbing Code®.
Dembekjian began working with IAPMO R&T as a contracted inspector in 1991, solely performing audits on behalf of IAPMO R&T. Since joining IAPMO R&T full time, he has served as Middle East advisor to IAPMO Group CEO Chaney. His knowledge of this region and his unique understanding of the customs have proven to be invaluable assets to The IAPMO Group. Today, he contributes to policy development and implementation while managing IAPMO R&T staff located in Abu Dhabi.
Prior to his work with IAPMO R&T, Dembekjian worked as plant manager for Plastic Services and Products and before that worked for PW Pipe. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Baghdad in Iraq. Dembekjian immigrated to the United States in 1982.
"Ohannes is richly deserving of this promotion to senior management within The IAPMO Group," Chaney said. "His strong leadership, organizational skills and dedication to IAPMO R&T have served our organization exceedingly well for nearly 20 years."
Dewi took over as manager of Management System Registration Services in 2007 and has since expanded the scope of services to include businesses outside the plumbing and mechanical industries, adding aerospace firms, schools, government entities and oil refineries to the list of clients.
IAPMO R&T, through both ANAB accreditation and a partnership with Eagle Registrations Inc., provides quality management system certification to such standards as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AS 9100, AS 9120, OHSAS 18001 and Safe Quality Food (SQF). Management registration standards represent the best tools and practices available to ensure customer expectations are consistently met or exceeded. Certification from an independent certification body such as IAPMO R&T communicates those high standards.
Prior to joining IAPMO R&T, Dewi worked as a quality manager in the plastic injection molding and electronics industries and served as a contract auditor for IAPMO R&T. Before that she was an operations analyst for Lockheed Martin IMS. Dewi holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Management from Cal Poly Pomona.
"Shirley has displayed great resourcefulness and initiative in growing the ISO Registration department and this promotion demonstrates the strong faith we have in her continuing that growth for years to come," Chaney said.

Who Killed the Sixties-Or Was it a Suicide?
Moses Wine thought he had put his interest in politics far behind him when he became a Los Angeles-based private detective. Sure, he'd once been an activist, but that had been during the Sixties. A lifetime ago?or so it seemed, before Lila Shea showed up on his doorstep. Lila was a woman who could have been the love of his life?had they remained together after their last night of passion in 1967. Nevertheless, she's back, and her political views are as strong as they were when Moses last saw her.
Before he knows it, Moses finds himself at the campaign headquarters of Senator Miles Hawthorne. .
The job Hawthorne offers seems simple: Locate Howard Eppis, chairman of the Free Amerika Party, and convince him to end the smear campaign he's been waging against the senator during his bid for presidency.
But then Lila turns up dead, and suddenly politics are the last thing on Moses' mind?…

The moat around the ancient and iconic Tower of London have been turned into a sea of red ceramic poppies. The extraordinary artwork from artist Paul Cummins is a remarkable tribute to the fallen of World War I. They have been planted by volunteers, 120,000 of them so far and the planting will continue until the last one is placed on Armistice Day on 11 November 2014. In total 888,246, one for each of the British and Commonwealth soldiers who died, will have been placed creating what is already and what will be even more, a staggering piece of public art.
I went there today, on the anniversary of the declaration of the Great War to see for myself this remarkable tribute to the fallen. It's a powerful piece and utterly remarkable in it's scale, here we have public art par excellence. It got me thinking about the anniversary and the sacrifices that people made and how we all owe so much to those brave souls who went to fight in perilous conditions in circumstances that we can only imagine.
My own family was touched by the war, my great great uncle William Blomfield, a Yorkshireman who fought for a Scottish regiment, the Seaforth Highlanders. Today his memorial can be found in Greengates, a suburb of Leeds where he lived whilst his his grave is in France, in Doullens where he died of wounds in one of the last major German advances of the war.
I'd grown up with tales of Uncle William . At my parents home in Yorkshire, there is a framed tribute of the silk ribbon his mother had made after his death. He died on the 25th March 1918, leaving his mother, sisters and sweetheart behind. It was a poinant reminder growing up of the bravery he had shown and the realisation that his life was over really before it had begun. He was 24.
Doullens was the site of the Doullens Conference held on 26 March 1918 the intention of which was to better co-ordinate the British and French military operations on the Western Front. The day before the conference William had died, the victim of one of the last great pushes of the war from the German army. There is a cemetery there now, the Doullens Communal Cemetery Extension No. 1.
Operation Michael as the German advance was known began on 21 March 1918 and was the first stage in what became known as Kaiserschlach, the Kaisers Battle or, in English, the Spring Offensive. The plan was to throw everything at the Allies in an attempt to break through the Allied lines, seizing the allied ports. The Germans attacked on many fronts with the battleground of Operation Michael taking place on the ground fought over so viciously two years before at the Battle of the Somme.
In the end the Germans managed to advance 40 miles but with a catastrophic loss of life. William Blomfield was one of around 236,000 British troops who were lost between the launch of the offensive on 21 March 1918 and 29 April 1918. In the same time period the Germans lost 348,000 yet the attack was not decisive. Despite making initial gains, the ground proved difficult to hold and supply, torn up from previous battles the surrounding infrastructure had already been destroyed and so moving troops around was difficult.
William Blomfield, a drummer, operated during the period as a stretcher bearer, carrying injured soldiers from the front to be treated away from the fighting so far as that was possible. The battle around that time must have been terrifying, from the launch of the offensive to the day he died the bombardment had been relentless. Back and forth he must have trekked taking injured comrades from the front, going back into the breach time and again to retrieve the fallen, eventually falling himself.
His battalion, the 1/4th Ross Highland division of the Seaforth Highlanders landed at Le Havre on 7 November 1914 and went straight to the Western Front. They transferred several times into different brigades before eventually joining the 154th Brigade in the 51st Highland Division on 7 January 1916. They were on the front in Cambrai when the Spring offensive began, fighting in the battles of St. Quentin and the battle of Bapaume, the first two phases of Operation Michael. Attacked on both sides and 'drenched in gas' they fought a retreat back towards Arras and Doullens as the Germans advanced losing 4900 men.
It was at some point during the retreat in those four days since the offensive began that William was injured and taken towards the Canadian Stationery Hospital at Doullens where, on 25 March 1918, he eventually died of his wounds. Attacks from the Royal Flying Corps and rearguard actions from the cavalry of the third army had slowed the German advance possibly long enough to for William to be transferred but it wasn't enough. The day afterwards at the Doullens Conference, the allies took a more co-ordinated approach in order to try and hold back the advance, combining both operations of the French and British armies under the leadership of General Ferdinand Foch, a Frenchman. The attacks continued but the more unified command structure gave confidence in the 'steadfastness of the Franco-British alliance' and provided the grounding for the staying of the German advance.
Researching the history of the great uncle who I never knew I was struck by how many others will have an ancester with a similar past. William Blomfield was a working man from a Northern town. It is unlikely that he would have ever travelled more than a few miles outside of his home village prior to the war, let alone to the fields of France, it must have been terrifying and exciting at the same time.
Now the tribute at the Tower commemorates not only Private William Blomfield but all those who died with him. It should provide a reminder, especially poignant, of the huge sacrifices that people made. Only a blink of an eye ago really when you think about the fullness of time and realise that the Great War, which devastated so much, wasn't really that long ago.
Monday 4 August 2014 represented the 100th anniversary of the declaration of the First World War. The artwork at the tower will continue to be planted up until Armistice day on 11 November 2014 eventually containing 888,246 ceramic poppies. Private William Blomfield was born in Appleby, Yorkshire and lived in Greengates. He is remembered on the cenotaph in the town and is buried in Doullens. He died on 25 March 1918.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN BRAVE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CONTINUE TO LOSE BRAVE SOULS BECAUSE OF RADICALS AND TERRORISTS AROUND THE WORLD IN OUR FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM.
Thank you so much for writing this tribute to our Uncle William.

To meet Orenda Fink is to like her. The unassuming brunette has a velvet voice, and something to say. She takes her art seriously, and in kind, people tend to take her seriously.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Fink was half of the Southern pop duo Azure Ray from 2001 to 2004. Coincidentally, I was just hanging out again with my 15 year old friend, Delphine, (she lives across the street part-time) and she was trying to learn an Azure Ray tune on my piano, "Sea of Doubt." I asked why she wanted to learn it, and she said "Because it's easy to learn on the piano, it's fun to sing along to, and the lyrics are inspirational!" I think Delphine is a good gauge as to what's happening in the age 13-17 set. She's a huge music fan, and a pretty good musician herself. I think Orenda would like Delphine.
O.F. is also a former member of Now it's Overhead, and worked her project called Art in Manila for the past couple of years. She released her debut with A.I.M. August of 2007. (Original name, Art Bell. You've got to love that one if you're a late night radio listener.) She is married to Todd Fink of The Faint.
I hit Orenda up on Facebook with Five Questions:
1) Q: How's the music career going?
A: It's going good. I released a record with my friend Cedric LeMoyne (Remy Zero) a few months ago. It's called O+S and is a project that rose out of field recordings I collected for a residency at the Bemis Center For Contemporary Arts. We toured out to SXSW this year and are hoping to get back on the road soon with it. I also have a new solo record coming out in October on Saddle Creek Records.
2) Q: What's happening this summer for you?
A: This summer I'm mostly concentrating on writing for a new Azure Ray record. We are also doing a little touring in July. We will be doing a short West coast run and then heading over to Omaha on July 24th for the Slowdown's outdoor concert with Cursive and Flowers Forever. I'll also be working on artwork, videos, photos, etc. for my new solo record.
3) Q: What's been the most exciting thing to happen to you in the past 6 months?
A: I moved to Los Angeles in January, so that was pretty exciting. Our 26-foot U-Haul with a car on the back broke down four times on the way out, so that added an extra element of ridiculousness to the move. But, we made it and are having fun adjusting to our new surroundings.
4) Q: Tell me about any new recording?
A: The new solo record that comes out in October is being mastered currently. It is sort of a Southern Gothic folk album. Players include Steve Bartolomei (aka Mal Madrigal,) Dan McCarthy (McCarthy Trenching,) Ben Brodin (Midwest Dilemma, Mal Madrigal) of Omaha, and also Andy LeMaster (Now It's Overhead) from Athens, GA. It was co-produced by Steve Bartolomei and Andy LeMaster. There are also guest vocals from Adrianne Verhoeven (Dri), Pearl Boyd (Outlaw Con Bandana), Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse) and Christine Fink (my lil sis!). The artist, Chris Lawson, who co-wrote some of the lyrics on the record, will be doing the artwork and videos.
5) Q: Personal life? got one?
A: I'm married to Todd Fink (The Faint, Depressed Buttons) and have a little dog who is my shadow. He is cuddled up to me as I type this.
For more information: Become a fan of O + S on Facebook.

No ANBAD Donkey Antics this week. There just wasn't time. Instead, here is a 'greatest hits' blast-from-the-past picture.
A poor show, yes – but here's four genuinely fabulous bands to compensate, one of whom sounds a bit like The Killers. Of course, being the consummate professional, I will entirely gloss over such a glaringly glib comparison.
FIRST! Wild Party sound a bit like The Killers. This is worth getting out of the way right at the beginning, because it'll be the observation everyone makes. A fairer assessment is that they sound like what The Killers would sound like if they were, you know, good.
It's not singer L. Kreifels' fault that he sounds like Brandon Flowers. Don't judge him. And don't let this blind the fact that Wild Party are a throbbingly exciting and exhilarating band, and that Take My Advice, amazingly, is scheduled to be released as a B-side. Superb, thrilling stuff, on the basis of which they'll be huge.
SECOND! Ivan Moult marks the transition from bombast to the deliberate absence of it. When I hear songs this breathy and slight, I wonder what would happen if the singer was exposed to the epic ridiculousness of, say, a Kiss concert. I imagine instant molecular dissolution. Here, Ivan has made low-key, high-impact acoustic songs that barely exist, but you'll be glad they do. Lovely.
THIRD! His Majesty – There's something both pleasant and ludicrous about His Majesty, a band who are apparently based in two French cities and one British one, which must make the band practice meet-ups interesting, or at least exhausting.His Majesty make deliciously skewed synth-pop, with the kind of flippancy that only Gallic bands every really get right. Good stuff.
FOURTH! There wasn't time for four, after all. As previously mentioned – a poor show. Apologies. Normal service resumed next week!

Will Trump's Judges Save His Presidency?
He's counting on a right-leaning judiciary to get him out of impeachment.
by Simon Lazarus

House Democrats have got their impeachment investigation off to an impressive start, discombobulating President Trump, unnerving his congressional allies, and galvanizing media and public attention. But it would be short-sighted for journalists and civic activists to focus exclusively on that probe. In fact, the fate of this presidency—and its myriad actions to ignore or junk landmark laws and programs—still rests largely in the hands of federal judges.
That may not be bad news for Donald Trump, who has often expressed faith in what he refers to as "my judges." At the same time, Mitch McConnell has enabled a judicial confirmation conveyor belt that could tilt the federal judiciary even further rightward.
Other than Trump's pressuring Ukraine's president to investigate a political adversary, almost all claims of the administration's illegality are now in the hands of the courts—including hugely consequential matters like Trump's rescission of DACA protections and the administration's deregulatory and defunding measures aimed at crippling the Affordable Care Act.
So far, judges and justices adjudicating anti-administration claims have given wildly contradictory signals, with some denouncing the administration's claims as "repugnant to the nation's governmental structure and constitutional values," while others have practically parroted their arguments. Worse yet, the impeachment investigation itself could be thwarted by unsympathetic courts, either through reviewing challenges to House subpoenas or intervening at the behest of the administration or its allies.
Indeed, even before October 8, when the administration's legal strategists issued an unprecedented blanket defiance of all House requests for testimony or evidence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff indicated that they planned— unlike all modern congressional investigators—not to use the courts to enforce subpoenas, and, insofar as possible to avoid provoking the administration or its collaborators from proactively seeking judicial protection.
But that hope has already vanished. On October 25, a subpoenaed former National Security Council staffer asked the D.C. District Court to sort out whether he is legally obligated to honor a Congressional subpoena or the White House's directive to ignore it. The lawsuit is odd, but probably sufficient to put much about the impeachment investigation in play in the courts. In response, wary House leaders withdrew the subpoena, serving notice that the lawsuit was thereby mooted. But on November 8 the NSC staffer's counsel announced that he would not withdraw the suit—which Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney is now seeking to join. No matter how this standoff shakes out, it spotlights how impeachment's adversaries want the judiciary to get involved.
House Democrats' decision to test these uncharted waters—steering clear of court enforcement—is understandable. Previous generations of federal judges firmly supported Congress in handling its constitutional responsibility to check the executive branch. But adherence to that tradition by the current cohort of federal jurists cannot be taken for granted. Trump's legal team sees at least a good chance that a Supreme Court majority could overturn or side-step precedents checking executive illegality during the Teapot Dome and Watergate scandals.
In fact, the very day of White House's declaration of non-cooperation, a Justice Department lawyer asserted that Watergate era District Judge John Sirica's March 1974 decision to turn impeachment-relevant grand jury materials over to Congress was "wrongly decided."
D.C. Chief District Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, sternly dismissed that claim and ordered the administration to provide Congress unredacted Grand Jury evidence secured in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. In response, Justice Department lawyers moved to keep secret the material until they appeal to the Supreme Court, where they hope to overturn this decision.
Trusting the Supreme Court's five-justice conservative majority to squelch unfriendly lower courts is already the Justice Department's keystone approach to fending off anti-administration challenges. For the past year, Trump's Solicitor General, Noel Francisco, has upended judicial and departmental practice, frequently bypassing lower federal courts and instead seeking preemptive Supreme Court interventions to cut off regular order evidentiary and appellate procedures. The intention is as clear as it is brazen: to shield agency actions from any meaningful judicial scrutiny whatsoever.
On July 26, for example, the conservative bloc took time off from its summer recess to reward Francisco's "expedited" application to short-circuit lower courts' rulings that put a hold on Trump's $2.5 billion border wall. In a single opaque paragraph, the majority stayed a District Court decision to preliminarily enjoin construction until its legality was decided at trial. The Catch-22 of this maneuver, as Justice Stephen Breyer noted in his dissent, was that, by the time a trial could be completed, the wall would likely already be built. In other words, if Trump gets his wall finished, much of the credit will belong to his Supreme Court allies willing to go outside the box to get it done.
In effect, the five Republican appointees' keenness to ignore the judiciary's modus operandi shows them less committed to vindicating the rule of law than to facilitating a GOP president bent on operating outside it.
If given a chance, these same justices could threaten the impeachment inquiry itself, be it debilitating key subpoena provisions, abetting the administration's transparent priority of running out the clock before November 2020, or even backing up Trump's widely ridiculed talking point that the entire impeachment investigation is unlawful.
Such possibilities are hardly far-fetched: while a 2-1 majority of D.C. Circuit Appeals Court judges recently approved a House subpoena seeking Trump financial records from his accounting firm, dissenting judge Neomi Rao elaborated a 66 page roadmap for judges or justices so inclined to rationalize shutting down or crippling virtually any congressional probe of this or any White House. Perhaps even more cheeky than her disdain for Congress's oversight investigation authority was Rao's gratuitous suggestion that courts could second-guess congressional impeachment results by determining what presidential conduct could constitute an impeachable "high crime or misdemeanor." This grenade ignored express Supreme Court precedent—in a 1993 ruling by the impeccably conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist—that Congress had the "sole" authority to process impeachments, precluding any judicial review of impeachment proceedings or determinations.
Judge Rao's argument may be substantively extreme, but her hostility toward challenges to Trumpian overreach is not unique. Most (not all) decisions and opinions rejecting, limiting, or delaying claims of administration illegality have come from Republican appointees, and most (not all) decisions receptive to such challenges have come from Democratic appointees.
So, can this impeachment inquiry succeed without obtaining judicial orders compelling compliance? How much will the impeachment findings, its public impact, and outcomes be undermined? Time will tell. So far, an array of current and former administration officials have responded to subpoenas with testimony and documents, providing potent grist for the impeachers' mill, despite the White House telling them to stay away. But none of these cooperators are either current senior office-holders or members of Trump's inner circle. Virtually all are career officials or former political appointees who are critical of Trump's pressure campaign against Ukraine and his out-sourcing of diplomacy to Rudy Giuliani.
Impeachment proponents have amassed a compelling case. But more unequivocally damning revelations must be known to senior confederates, with more incriminating evidence withheld in documents. Without sworn, televised testimony from Attorney General Bill Barr, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and, Giuliani, the public resonance, credibility, and, hence, the outcome of the effort could be curtailed.
Trump's wager that "my judges" will save him may be a good bet, but it is not a sure one. In some instances, Republican-appointed judges, including Trump appointees, have played it straight, followed the law, and ruled in favor of the president's challengers. Chief Justice John Roberts has demonstrated that, at least some times, he will not tolerate administration perfidy. Consider his blistering rejection of Trump's "contrived" attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. Still, the overall pattern is ominous: a federal judiciary that is not merely right-leaning ideologically, but increasingly tribal and outright partisan, has often neutered substantial court challenges to Trumpian abuse. That has already cast a long shadow over impeachment as well.

I retired from the famous Pipes and Drums of the Cleveland Police, when I moved to the Lowcountry. I'm now with the Charleston Pipe Band.
I have played many weddings, funerals and other private, and public events. Just let me know what songs you want played.
Played for Dad's funeral, arrived early, found his place in the order of things, and played beautifully. Uniform was sharp.
Thank you. Your Father was a very good man. His best work was the development of a great family.
Would use again! Mike was awesome!
Mike arrived before his scheduled time. He waited until it was time and entered exactly as planned. He is one of the best bagpipers I have heard. You will not be disappointed if you use his service.
