Everyone wants the best price. Buyers define this as the least they have to pay, while sellers define it as the most they can charge. This natural push and pull is understandable, but what if sellers start using misleading tactics or making false claims about their product?
Legally speaking, these are referred to as "deceptive trade practices" and can include anything from rolling back a used car's odometer to mislabeling a food product. Lucky for those of us in the Bayou State, there are laws in place designed to protect citizens from shady sales tactics. Here is a brief overview of deceptive trade practice laws in Louisiana.
Louisiana is one of the states that have adopted the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The basics of deceptive trade practices laws in Louisiana are listed below.
Keep in mind that while state laws prohibiting deceptive trade practices laws may provide some deterrent to business and a remedy after the fact, it's up to consumers to avoid scams before they fall for them. To learn more about local scams, or to report a person or local business of engaging in deceptive business practices, you can contact a consumer protection office in your area.
Additionally, there are federal resources, like www.consumeraction.gov, and a number of nonprofits, like the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org and www.fraud.org, that can assist you with a consumer fraud complaint. These websites can help you fill out a fraud complaint online and file it with the appropriate local, state, and federal agencies.
Deceptive trade practices, and the laws meant to protect consumers, can be difficult to understand. You can visit FindLaw's Consumer Protection section for more resources and information on this topic. You can also contact a Louisiana consumer protection attorney if you would like legal assistance regarding a deceptive trade practices or a possible consumer fraud matter.

Why Bloomberg Should Be Our President
by guestofaguest · December 5, 2007
[Photo from NY Social Diary]
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a mayor for the people. Why would he be such a good candidate for president? Well for starters, he runs his government much like a business (on top of owning the business of all businesses). Bloomberg cleaned up our city, and we think he could clean up our country. Drawing from both the Republican and the Democratic parties, he provides a clean center position that tends to be liberal on social and some economic issues, yet he's a fiscal conservative. He approves of stem-cell research, gay marriage, strict gun and drug laws, and is pro-choice. He's also a leading business man that is globally known and respected. What else do you want? He's smart and humble, and has done more for people in this country than the majority of our political leaders. Here's some facts about Mike Bloomberg:
-He declines to receive a city salary, accepting $1 (yep one dollar) annually for his services.
-He gave over $300 million to the John Hopkins research center and has contributed over $150 million each year to various charities.
-He refuses to reside in Gracie's mansion, the official home of the mayor, instead keeping his UES apartment.
-He takes the subway to work each moring in city hall.
-He cares about our environment and created plaNYC for a "Greener, Greater New York".
-Oh yeah, he also sits amongst his collegues (literally) instead of in the big mayor's office.
The photo above, taken from the New York Social Diary shows him at his cube alongside an assistant. This way he gets to be right in the action with everyone else. Do you notice what he's reading on his computer screens? His office is the oldest building in City Hall still in use for its original functions, in large part because of the rennovations and money Bloomberg put into it. His own interior designer Jamie Drake did the remodel. In one word, we'd describe Bloomberg as "Responsible." We would feel secure having him in the pilot seat....now someone's just gotta convince him to run!

The Legacy of Billy Frank, Jr.
Annette Bullchild, Nisqually Tribe Education Director, presents The Legacy of Billy Frank, Jr. at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, 10630 Gravelly Lake Drive SW, Lakewood.
Program at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, September 27.
Don't miss hearing how one determined man made a world of difference---in US history and in the life of his people.


To say small business owners in Wisconsin are nervous about the outcome of the debate over health-care reform is like saying a football quarterback is jittery just before a 300-pound defensive end grinds him into the turf. Both know what's coming -- and both can only hope to get back on their feet once it's over.
Representatives of small business have become persuaded that, no matter what version of the health-care bill is adopted by Congress, they will pay more to provide health care to employees. Those same small business owners believe neither the House nor the Senate bill address spiraling costs, the core problem from an employer perspective. They also believe Congress will ratchet up already burdensome costs in two main ways -- through expensive new coverage requirements and by forcing the nation's insured to pay more to cover the uninsured.
There's no doubt the federal debate has been about reforming access to health care, rather than controlling costs. Most health-care reformers in Congress want to see the nation's 46 million uninsured -- more than 15 percent of the population -- protected by a safety net. They contend it costs the United States billions of dollars in lost productivity, social woes, family bankruptcies and more for so many people to go without health insurance.
While access to health-care poses real problems, so does a system that consumes 17 percent of the Gross National Product and which forces employers to choose between hiring another worker or salting away money for the next double-digit increase in health-care premiums.
A recent actuarial analysis by Wellpoint Inc., the parent company to Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Wisconsin, concluded the most likely compromise of the bills pending before the House and Senate would increase premiums by 17 percent for a small business with eight workers of average age and health status. That's on top of increases already coming, with or without reform.
Skeptics might say such estimates are more insurance company "spin control," but even discounting the self-interest of the insurers it's safe to say Congress and the White House have thought far more about improving health-care access than controlling costs.
Here are some suggestions for addressing the cost side of the equation, and keeping more money in the hands of small businesses that create the bulk of the nation's jobs.
* Focus on wellness, disease prevention and ways to better manage chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease. Chronic illnesses account for 75 percent of U.S. health care costs.
* Provide incentives to hospitals and clinics in crossover markets to collaborate where possible, rather than compete over every service. Cost increases in health care can be slowed when health-care organizations avoid service and facility duplication. Hospitals and clinics may make more money on specialists, but primary care keeps customer costs down because those medical professionals stress wellness, prevention and disease management.
* Accelerate the movement toward digitizing medical records, which first gained federal support when former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson was secretary of Health and Human Services. President Obama is right about moving this idea ahead. Electronic health records will provide a long-term foundation for higher quality care while reducing errors and giving medical professionals better data. It's a ready example of how technology can help patients.
* Pass the Comparative Effectiveness Research Act of 2009. The basic idea behind "comparative effectiveness" is to create a national database to share information about how new or different therapies, treatments and diagnostics work for patients. Medical professionals would have near-instant access to that information.
* Allow small businesses more, not less, leeway in buying coverage plans that fit their employees. Such plans might cover mostly catastrophic cases, preventative care and child medical care, with relatively high employee-paid deductibles for everything else.
Health care reform is inevitable because the current U.S. system has its flaws. In the rush to improve access, however, let's not forget that rising costs will create a new and more serious crisis if small businesses stop creating jobs.

Car hits protester in Ferguson, shots ring out
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Gunshots rang out but apparently hit no one after a car struck a protester during a peaceful demonstration in Ferguson, Missouri, on the second anniversary of Michael Brown's death.
Car hits protester in Ferguson, shots ring out FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Gunshots rang out but apparently hit no one after a car struck a protester during a peaceful demonstration in Ferguson, Missouri, on the second anniversary of Michael Brown's death. Check out this story on news-leader.com: http://sgfnow.co/2bfLTEM
AP Published 8:42 a.m. CT Aug. 10, 2016
Protesters hide behind cars after shots were fired Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2016, in Ferguson, Mo., during a demonstration on the second anniversary of Michael Brown's death. Witnesses told an Associated Press reporter that a car sped through a group of protesters who were blocking a street during the demonstration marking two years since the unarmed black 18-year-old's fatal shooting by a white police officer. They said the car struck a young man so hard that he flew into the air. As the car drove away, shots were fired, they said. (Robert Cohen/St. Louis Post-Dispatch via AP)(Photo: Robert Cohen, AP)
Witnesses told The Associated Press that a car drove into a group of protesters who were blocking a street during the demonstration Tuesday night to mark two years since the unarmed black 18-year-old's fatal shooting by a white police officer. They said the car struck a young man so hard that he flew into the air.
"A lady came down and hit a protester — knocked the shoes off his feet," said Sharon Cowan, who was at the scene. "Hit him, and he rolled and he bounced."
Ferguson police said in a statement that several people chased the car and fired about two dozen shots at the vehicle. A city spokesman later said the vehicle was pockmarked with bullet holes. Police are asking for the public's help to identify the shooting suspects.
Graphic video provided to AP by Heather De Mian, who was at the scene and frequently livestreams protests in the St. Louis area, appeared to corroborate the witnesses' account, showing a man hit and thrown several feet as bystanders shriek.
The man seemed badly injured and was put into a private car to be taken to a hospital, Cowan said.
Shots can be heard on the video less than a minute after the collision.

Spokesman Jeff Small told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch police don't believe the driver intentionally struck the protester.
"By all accounts, her version of what happened seems to fit the version of what happened to a person driving down a busy West Florissant Avenue and not seeing a person standing there," Small said.
Small said no one inside the vehicle was injured.
By around 10 p.m., the protesters had disbanded. No arrests were made.
Earlier in the day, a few hundred people gathered for a memorial service and moment of silence along Canfield Drive at the spot where Brown was fatally shot by officer Darren Wilson after a confrontation on Aug. 9, 2014.

A state grand jury declined to press charges against Wilson, and the U.S. Justice Department later cleared him, concluding that he had acted in self-defense. He resigned in November 2014.
Brown's death led to months of sometimes-violent protests in Ferguson. It was also was a catalyst for the Black Lives Matter movement, which rebukes police treatment of minorities and has grown following several other killings of black men and boys by police, such as Tamir Rice in Cleveland and Philando Castile in Minnesota.
The 2014 shooting also led to a Justice Department investigation that found patterns of racial bias in Ferguson's police and municipal court system. The federal agency and the city agreed this year to make sweeping changes.
Brown's father, also named Michael Brown, said in a brief speech during the memorial service that the anniversary was a sad day for him and his family, and for the world, too.
"My son built families up, opened the eyes of the world and let them know this ain't right," he said. "This color is not a disease. This color is beautiful. Black is beautiful."

In this project, we are going to build a real-time clock using a DS1307 real-time-clock chip.
We will show how to build a RTC circuit from scratch using the DS1307 chip.
A real-time clock, or RTC, is an integrated circuit that keeps track of current time. It can keep track of all time from the year down to the second. So it's a very versatile chip. And it can keep track of time in either 12-hour or 24-hour format.
RTCs are widely used in many different devices which need accurate time keeping.
Real-time clocks normally have batteries attached to them that have very long life. Therefore, the batteries last a very long time, several years. The battery keeps the RTC operating, even when there is no power to the microcontroller that is connected up to. So even if the microcontroller powers off, the RTC can keep operating due to its battery. Therefore, it can always keep track of the current time and have accurate time, ongoing.
Therefore, learning about them, how to build a RTC circuit from a chip and how to connect it to a microcontroller, and program it is very useful.
The DS1307 is a real-time clock chip which can count seconds, minutes, hours, date of the month, month, day of the week, and year with leap-year compensation.
It's a great clock that can always keep track of time regardless of whether the microcontroller it connects to is powered on or off. This means if you shut off the microcontroller, the chip will still keep track of time ongoing. A microcontroller, on the other hand, without a real-time clock chip, will restart time to back to the beginning 0 everything it's powered off. With RTCs, with critical or time-sensitive applications, we can always keep a precise record of time.
The DS307 is an 8-pin chip.
The pinout of the DS1307 is shown below.
The DS1307 needs a crystal oscillator in order to work. It operates on a 32.768 oscillator. So we connect this oscillator to pins 1 and 2.
Pin 3 connects the battery's power supply. The DS1307 works well with a CR2032 coin battery. This battery functions as the backup power source for the chip when not powered by an external source.
Pin 4 serves as ground (GND).
Pin 5 is the serial data line (SCL). It's the line that transmits the time from the RTC chip to the microcontroller it's connected to.
Pin 6 is the serial clock line (SCL). The serial clock line is needed to synchronized data movement on the serial interface.
Pin 7 is the square wave/output driver (SQW). This allows us to change the square wave frequencies to either (1Hz, 4KHz, 8KHz, or 32KHz). For our basic application, we will not be adjusting the square wave frequency, so we leave the pin unconnected.
Pin 8 is the positive power voltage supply (VCC). VCC should be about 5V. When VCC is supplied a voltage above the battery's voltage, the chip will function off of VCC. The battery is only used when VCC falls below Vbat.
The real-time clock circuit we will build with a DS1307 is shown below.
So we connect the 32.768KHz crystal oscillator to pins 1 and 2 on the DS1307.
We connect positive and negative terminals of the 3V battery to pins 3 and 4, respectively.
Both SDA and SCL, pins 5 and 6, require an external pull-up resistor connected to VCC. This is because inside the chip are transistors that are open drain. In order to complete the transistor circuit, positive voltage needs to be applied to the drain. Then the transistor can conduct current across from drain to source.
Pin 7, we leave unconnected.
And pin 8 gets attached to an external power source of 5V approximately.
Once this is done, we've completed our circuit. Now the only 2 pins that need to be connected to a microcontroller are SDA and SCL, pins 5 and 6. These need to be connected to analog pins of a microcontroller. Then with the right code, this circuit can always keep track of time.
And this is how we can build a real-time clock circuit with a DS1307 RTC chip.

Celebrating Human Rights
Qualcomm products mentioned within this post are offered by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.
Did you know that today is International Human Rights Day? The United Nations (UN) General Assembly proclaimed December 10 as Human Rights Day in 1950, which means that this marks the 63rd anniversary of the celebration.
I am reminded of the words of the late Nelson Mandela: "To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity."
If you've been reading this blog, you know that this year Qualcomm has made some great progress in the human rights space—from becoming a full member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) to joining the United Nations Global Compact and publishing Qualcomm's Commitment to Human Rights.
We also recently updated The Qualcomm Way: Our Code of Business Conduct and as a full member of EICC, we've adopted the EICC Code of Conduct for our operations and as our Supplier Code of Conduct.
We also continue to evolve our Conflict Minerals Program, which includes active participation in the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), supporting the Conflict Free Smelter Program (CFSP)—including conducting numerous smelter visits—and engaging in the IPC's conflict minerals activities. We also participate in the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade and joined the International Tin Industry's Supply Chain Initiative (iTSCi) on conflict minerals to further demonstrate our commitment to the development of Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)-conflict-free sourcing.
However, we're not only concerned with the human rights of our employees and those in our supply chain: we're also interested in promoting human rights through our technologies. Qualcomm Wireless Reach is working to close the digital divide in underserved communities in more than 30 countries. In 2012, Wireless Reach began projects that specifically target the following UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): universal education, gender equality, and child and maternal health. mPowering Frontline Health Workers is one example: this collaboration, kicked off in June of last year, seeks to improve the lives of mothers and babies by strengthening the skills and performance of frontline health workers through scalable mobile technologies and creative multimedia health content.
We've continued to develop projects in line with the MDGs in the area of universal education; in fact, Wireless Reach has teamed up with eLimu Learning Company Limited and other stakeholders in Kenya on a project in Kenya that showcases the power of mLearning when applied to standard 7 and 8 classrooms in Nairobi. The pilot project uses 3G-enabled tablet computers to deliver high quality, locally relevant educational content through a learning application to children who would otherwise lack adequate access to a meaningful education. In the project, the Kenyan curriculum is taken straight from textbooks, and interactive, engaging and locally designed content is added in the form of songs, games, quizzes and animations—all delivered through tablet computers with 3G technology. Use of this technology in the classroom will aim to improve learning outcomes, child literacy, numeracy, social awareness and cognitive thinking. Plus, the beneficiary schools will be provided with solar powered solutions to reduce pressure on their electricity supplies.
We have also been doing some exciting work in the gender equality space – one example is our company's commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Women Enhancing Technology (WeTech) program, which we announced with Hillary Clinton at the CGI Annual Meeting (check out Shawn Covell's inspiring blog post about the experience). WeTech aims to build a steady pipeline of girls and women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and address the technology industry's need for more professionals with technical knowledge.
So even though today is International Human Rights Day, at Qualcomm we're working to promote and support human rights around the globe every day. It's part of what makes me love coming to work every morning, and in my view, it's one of the many reasons for which Qualcomm continues to be near the top of Fortune magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For" each year.

The Lean Post / Articles / "Too much, Too early" and other Common Pitfalls of Lean Product Development
"Too much, Too early" and other Common Pitfalls of Lean Product Development
By Eric Ethington, Chet Marchwinski and Matt Zayko
Veteran product development coaches Eric Ethington and Matt Zayko provide insights about the most common mistakes they see companies make when implementing Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD).
Veteran product development coaches Eric Ethington and Matt Zayko each have decades helping companies in a variety of industries apply the principles of Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD). Both are also LPPD coaches at the nonprofit Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI).
Previously, Eric managed a corporate team responsible for supporting lean management transformation at auto supplier Delphi's six divisions. Matt worked in a variety of staff and management level roles under the guidance of former Toyota mentors for Chrysler, the University of Michigan, Gelman Sciences, Delphi, and Danaher.
Here they provide insights into the most common mistakes they see companies make when implementing LPPD. They also offer practical tips for how you can get better results from LPPD efforts. To begin, they briefly explain what is the purpose of LPPD. They were interviewed by LEI Communications Director Chet Marchwinski.
Q: What is the purpose of Lean Product and Process Development or LPPD?
Matt: The roots go back to Al Ward who wrote the book Lean Product and Process Development published by LEI. About 25 years ago, Al was a pioneer in the product development space studying development at Toyota. He talked about the purpose of development as being the creation of profitable operational value streams and useful knowledge. This differed from just looking at development as product design or tests and analysis. So LPPD was a holistic viewpoint development that included product and processes.
Eric:We've come to look at LPPD as a model line for the enterprise. What I mean is that a lot of organizations teach people about lean management by doing a model line out in the plant. This helps to "crack the egg" about how to do an enterprise transformation; instead of it being a theoretical discussion, the product is something that everybody can rally around to see how they contribute. So it really becomes this set of principles and practices that you use for creating enterprise transformation, useful knowledge, and profitable value streams.
Too much too early is where the risks are unknown with a process and decisions are made too early but have a big impact later on.
Q: You both work with companies that are applying LPPD principles. What are the common failure modes that you see with Lean Product and Process Development?
Matt: We typically see three failure modes. One is what we call "too much too early," which is where the risks are unknown with a process and decisions are made too early but have a big impact later on. Another failure mode is what we call "penny wise, pound foolish," where at a functional level, maybe I'm sub-optimizing what I think is best for this operational value stream when we're designing it and it ends up being worse overall for the system. And then a third one is "too little too late," where we try to get people involved with process development, but key decisions have been made and the train has left the station so it's too little too late at that point.
Eric: What I'd add goes back to this idea of profitable value streams. To do that, you need to get all the different functions collaborating. And a lot of times we don't see that happen. It might start in a particular functional area; they get the bug about LPPD and then that particular function stays out ahead of everybody and doesn't bring the organization along. And so you're defeating the purpose of a model line for an enterprise transformation.
Q: Can you each provide some tips on how people can have better success with collaboration?
Eric: Do it organically. I've seen organizations say, "Okay, we're going to get all 15 functions – or whatever the number is – and we're going to put them all in a room and say, 'Okay, collaborate.'" And most of them don't. They have no idea what they're supposed to do.
So maybe there is a small critical mass of folks who at least have an understanding or inkling of what this could be, and they start working together and as they're approaching a decision point or something that's critical, start thinking, "Well who should we get involved to get through this next phase and pull them in?" Because now they have a purpose, a reason to be there, and the team grows organically.
Matt: You don't want to try to boil the ocean in an organization. Pick something that's real and get started as soon as possible. But many organizations think that they have to wait for the perfect time to pick something. But you can pick something that's in process. And then to build off that collaboration, typically we try to spin that to an obeya space where we talk about transparency of the work that needs to be done. So you can do that with the development team by doing a timeline on a wall to get focus and then that leads to better collaboration.
Q: Why don't we explain briefly what obeya is.
Matt: Obeya is just a Japanese word for big room, typically a room for visual management where you look a customer wall, a timeline wall, key metrics to show if you're ahead or behind, as well as a problem solving wall. It's a space where there are no secrets and everything with the development program is visual.

DESPERATE FOR CASH!
Sister Wives' Robyn and Kody Brown beg for urgent $150K loan on new home during major money and marital problems
Jill Ishkanian
Updated: 21:47, 20 Apr 2020
SISTER Wives stars Kody and Robyn Brown are desperate for an urgent $150,000 loan against the value of the new home they bought only eight months ago, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
Kody, 51, and Robyn, 41, applied for a home equity line of credit in the amount of $150,000 on March 20, 2020, according to Arizona court documents obtained by The Sun.

The legal document revealed there was urgency to the deal, as the court papers read: "Time is of the essence in the performance of this Deed of Trust."
The money was of such necessity that the couple agreed in the official county documents to "waive" their rights to Arizona's Homestead Exemption.
The Homestead Exemption would protect $150,000 of home equity should Kody and Robyn file for bankruptcy in the state, as this is catalogued as their "primary residence."
The maturity date on the flexible interest home equity loan is April 23, 2050, with TFC National Bank listed as the beneficiary or lender.
The request was approved on March 31, 2020.
The couple purchased the home in August 2019 for $890,000Credit: TLC
Jay Luchs, a premiere real estate expert in Los Angeles, told The Sun: "People are going to do whatever they can to get through this economic crisis, including taking home equity lines of credit against their houses and condos as they are able to."
But because she and Kody purchased their home, as The Sun documents reveal, they were able to leverage out all the equity in it to help support the other Brown wives and children.
The couple purchased their rustic 5-bed, 4-bath, 4,395 square foot home set on 2-acres in Flagstaff, Arizona, back in August 2019.
At that time, they plunked $225,000 down towards the $890,000 purchase price.
Kody and Robyn fought over buying the home, as he threatened to "dissolve their partnership"Credit: TLC
As Sister Wives viewers know, Robyn was against purchasing the home, as she felt it was a "betrayal" to Kody's three other wives, Meri, 49, Janelle, 50, and Christine, 48, and their children.
Robyn, who shares five children with Kody, feared buying instead of renting would stall the family from building on 4-acre property they purchased in June 2018 for $820,000 called Coyote Pass, which was split into four parcels of land.
Kody even threatened to dissolve his partnership with Robyn, his only legal wife, over the fight, and admitted he "bullied" her into buying the home.
The family has been struggling financially for yearsCredit: TLC
Kody has a history of financial trouble.
They admittedly sold their home in Lehi, Utah at a substantial loss after leaving the state in 2011, citing religious persecution after the attorney general reportedly began investigating the polygamist family.
Their TLC reality show chronicled their Las Vegas real estate debacle where Kody and his four wives struggled to sell their cul-de-sac homes amid a downturn in the market.
On the January premiere of Sister Wives, Kody's third wife, Christine, told the cameras, "financially, we're drowning."
Kody added: "Basically we're paying four, no five mortgages with the Coyote Pass property."

Meanwhile, in 2018, Christine, mother of six, purchased a three bedroom, three bathroom home in Flagstaff for $520,000.
Two of the Sister Wives, Meri and Janelle are living in rentals for approximately $3,000 each per month.
Kody has a total of 18 children between the four families.
They have yet to break ground on their dream property to create a polygamist paradise of four large homes on the expansive Coyote Pass Property.

Meeting on Marawi Rehabilitation Efforts
Heroes Hall, Malacañan Palace
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte held a meeting on the Marawi rehabilitation efforts at the Heroes Hall in Malacañan Palace.
Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Eduardo Del Rosario, who is also Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) Chairperson, presented the Marawi rehabilitation timeline, accomplishments and challenges to President Duterte.
Likewise, Senator Christopher Lawrence 'Bong' Go discussed the recent public hearing of the Senate's Special Committee on Marawi City Rehabilitation held in Iligan City and reported the issues raised in the inquiry to the Chief Executive. During the said hearing, Senator Go proposed the meeting in Malacañan Palace to thresh out the problems and provide a 'final solution' in order for the rehabilitation to be completed within President Duterte's term.
The Chief Executive listened intently to the representatives of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and addressed their concerns to the heads of national government agencies involved in the Marawi rehabilitation. He also outlined several commitments of the government and vowed to fast track these projects.
Several Cabinet members headed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea as well as Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa (Chairperson, Senate Special Committee on Marawi Rehabilitation), Senator Maria Imelda Josefa 'Imee' Marcos, Senator Francis Tolentino and Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra also attended the event.

Andrew Chinn/The Phillipian
In her 28th year at Andover, Head Coach Martha Fenton '83 leads Andover Girls Hockey with kindness, care, and a love for competition. The team recently won the Patsy K. Odden Tournament for the second year in a row and holds an undefeated record this season.
Despite her successful leadership, Fenton had no experience with competitive hockey until her final year as a student at Andover. After a year, Fenton proceeded to play hockey, alongside field hockey and lacrosse, at Bowdoin College, and started her coaching career shortly after.
"We played a lot of pond hockey when I was a kid, but I didn't have an opportunity to play and there weren't any other girls…. I actually didn't start playing organized hockey until I came to Andover. I tried to play my Upper year, but I asked my mom to get me equipment, and she had me try on my brother's equipment. It didn't fit, so she said maybe next year. So I started as a Senior here," said Fenton.
Keira Harder '23 highlighted Fenton's positivity and selflessness. According to Harder, Fenton continuously checks in on her players, ensuring that no one feels alone.
"For me, I always connect Martha with kindness. To me, her kindness is so palpable. Essentially when you walk into a room with her smile, you can feel it. She's so dedicated to letting everyone on the team know that they're valued and let everyone know they have worth. She really focuses on making sure that we then in turn value our own teammates and demonstrate that… She is the kindest human being," said Harder.
Sharing a similar sentiment to Harder, Co-Captain Anne Averill '23 emphasized Fenton's love for the team. Fenton brings leadership qualities that the team's captains look to, according to Averill.
"She mostly leads with a lot of heart and a lot of kindness and a lot of care for the team, which has been something that's great to see as like a captain who also wants to emphasize those values. I think it's been great to learn from her and get to work with her and try to help the team as much as possible," said Averill.
With experience from the collegiate level, Fenton serves as an influential and knowledgeable figure on the ice, according to Co-Captain Olivia McManus '23. McManus admires Fenton's clear passion for the sport.
"She's just very inspirational. She's definitely someone I look up to because she's just a strong woman figure [who has] been around for a while and has changed many people's lives, including my own. She's powerful. I'd probably describe her as that, and she just knows tons about the game because she's been around for so long," said McManus.
Fenton views camaraderie as a key component to a successful team. While an advocate of cooperation and communication, Fenton also encourages her players to maintain high intensity and healthy competition during practices.
"I firmly believe that the team dynamic is always going to determine the success of the team. You can have an incredibly skilled team, but if you don't work together, hockey is a sport where you really have to find that magic on the ice. The way you interact makes a huge difference. I try to lean into the team, motivating each other and competing on the ice every day and making practice competitive," said Fenton.
Harder believes that Fenton reflects her efforts to motivate the team. Through healthy competition, the team maintains focus on its goals and the desire to improve, according to Harder.
"She really focuses on helping us find… self motivation, so just making sure there's a competitive edge to practice, making sure that we're focusing in on the systems that we're trying to accomplish, making sure that we're competing not only against each other but internally," said Harder.
Harder continued, describing Fenton's focus on setting concrete goals.
"One of the things that makes her such a good coach is that she constantly expects us to push ourselves harder and to battle for every 50-50 puck. Not just go through the motion but really saying each practice, 'Am I going to get better? What goals am I going to make for myself this practice?'" added Harder.
Looking ahead, Fenton hopes to improve upon the team's sense of community and accountability. Through unselfish play, the team looks to continue its nine-game win streak.
"When people want to play as much for the people next to them as they do for themselves, that's when you achieve greatness," said Fenton.

John drove Late Model Stock Cars in the 60's and 70's?
Yes I remember him and J.D Hughes, both from TX, we ran with them several times in the 70's. Mostly at what they called Open Comp races back then in CO, TX, OK MO. They were both fast. My memory not very good anymore, I know JD's car was usually purple and it seems like Johns car was black.
Your memory still seems pretty good.
I had not thought of J.D. Hughes in years. If I remember correctly, he had one eye, and you needed to keep that in mind when deciding which side you were going to pass him on or he might just run over you!
Did you (by any chance) meet John Foster's crew-chief, or ever hear of Danny Bennett? Danny went on to build Late Models for Bobby Hillin Jr. up until the time Bobby went Winston Cup.
I think I may have talked to him at an All Pro race we ran many years in San Antonio, not sure. I think John was there and I remember talking to him and his crew. I think Rick Crawford won the race?????
Rick Crawford or could it have been FRANK Crawford?
Was the winner by chance driving a black Nova? Maybe #46?
The Nova I am referring to was built by Danny Bennett and driven by John Foster, but sold to Frank Crawford out of Midland, Tx. late 70's .
I know John Foster ran San Antonio, Houston Raceway Park, and Texas World Speedway.
I think your memory is still better than mine!
Sorry for the confusion! Yes I remember now, RICK Crawford, I'm thinking maybe he was from Arkansas?
I remember seeing him at Texas World Speedway one year.
THANKS 83X! That brings back a lot of memories!
That's the Pete Hamilton Chassis that was featured in Stock Car Magazine.
That's the last car John ever drove before the cancer took him.
Again, THANKS SO MUCH for sharing the picture!
Did you know John Foster or Danny Bennett?
No I didn't but a lot of those guys from down south came for the open race at CSIS.

State Superintendent announces $37.5 Million Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant
State Superintendent Tony Thurmond annonces that the California Department of Education (CDE) was awarded a Literacy State Development Grant for $37.5 million. The Comprehensive Grant will administer the necessary funds for the expansion of literacy efforts statewide over the next five years.
"Many of the students who are struggling with reading comprehension or are not reading at grade level are our most vulnerable students—economically disadvantaged students, English language learners, students with disabilities, and students in rural communities," said Thurmond. "This grant will allow us to promote and support equitable access to high-quality literacy instruction that will benefit not only our high-need students but all of our students from pre-K to high school."

N. Korean troops shot 40 times at defector in border dash
You are here: Home / Uncategorized / N. Korean troops shot 40 times at defector in border dash
A North Korean soldier looks on as South Korean and United Nations officials visit after attending a ceremony to commemorate the 62nd Anniversary of the Korean War armistice agreement at Panmunjom on July 27, 2015, in South Korea.
SEOUL, South Korea — Four North Korean soldiers fired about 40 rounds at a comrade fleeing into South Korea and hit him five times in the first shooting at the jointly controlled area of the heavily fortified border in more than 30 years, the South's military said Tuesday.
South Korean soldiers did not fire their weapons, but Monday's incident occurred at a time of high animosity over North Korea's nuclear program. The North has expressed intense anger over past high-profile defections.
The soldier is being treated at a South Korean hospital after a five-hour operation for the gunshot wounds he suffered during his escape across the Joint Security Area. His personal details and motive for defection are unknown and his exact medical condition is unclear.
South Korea's military said he suffered injuries in his internal organs but wasn't in a life-threatening condition. But the Ajou University Medical Center near Seoul said the soldier was relying on a breathing machine after the surgery removed the bullets. Lee Guk-jong, a doctor who leads Ajou's medical team for the soldier, described his patient's condition as "very dangerous" and said the next 10 days might determine whether he recovers.
On Monday, he first drove a military jeep but left the vehicle when one of its wheels fell into a ditch. He then fled across the JSA, with fellow soldiers chasing and firing at him, South Korea's military said, citing unspecified surveillance systems installed in the area.
Suh Wook, chief director of operations for the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff, told lawmakers that North Korea fired a total of about 40 rounds in a shooting that his office suggested started while the soldier was in the jeep.
The solider was found beneath a pile of leaves on the southern side of the JSA and South Korean troops crawled there to recover him. A U.N. Command helicopter later transported him to the Ajou medical center, according to South Korean officials.
The North's official media haven't reported the case as of Tuesday afternoon. They have previously accused South Korea of kidnapping or enticing North Koreans to defect. About 30,000 North Koreans have fled to South Korea, mostly via China, since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
The JSA is jointly overseen by the American-led U.N. Command and by North Korea, with South Korean and North Korean border guards facing each other only meters (feet) apart. It is located inside the 4-kilometer-wide (2 1/2-mile-wide) Demilitarized Zone, which forms the de facto border between the Koreas since the Korean War. While both sides of the DMZ are guarded by barbed wire fences, mines and tank traps, the JSA includes the truce village of Panmunjom which provides the site for rare talks and draws curious tourists.
Monday's incident was the first shooting at the Joint Security Area since North Korean and U.N. Command soldiers traded gunfire when a Soviet citizen defected by sprinting to the South Korean sector of the JSA in 1984. A North Korean soldier defected there in 1998 and another in 2007 but neither of those events involved gunfire between the rivals, according to South Korea's military.
The 1984 exchange of gunfire happened after North Korean soldiers crossed the border and fired, according to the U.N. Command. In Monday's incident, it wasn't known if the North continued firing after the defector was officially in the southern part of the Joint Security Area. The U.N. Command said Tuesday that an investigation into the incident was underway.
The Joint Security Area was the site of some bloodshed during the Cold War but there hasn't been major violence there in recent years. In 1976, North Korean soldiers axed two American army officers to death and the United States responded by flying nuclear-capable B-52 bombers toward the DMZ in an attempt to intimidate the North.

Plans on Fast Track for CCISD's Second Science Magnet
Clear Creek » News » 2017-18 District News » Plans on Fast Track for CCISD's Second Science Magnet
The Clear Creek Independent School District has announced it will expedite plans to launch a second Science Magnet program, moving the original kick-off date from August 2019 to August 2018. "When we began to look at the construction timeline coupled with our desire to not turn kids away from pursuing their interests in science, it all came together nicely," said Scott Bockart, Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education. "While the construction is ongoing, programmatically we will take applications for interested incoming 6th graders this January."
In May 2017, the community overwhelmingly supported $10.3 million in funding to expand Brookside Intermediate in Friendswood so that the school can be the second site for the highly popular Science Magnet. The expansion includes six new classrooms and four science labs. The allocated funds will also pay for the expansion and renovation of the fine arts area. Currently, Seabrook Intermediate is the home to the science program for approximately 300 interested 6th-8th graders districtwide. Due to space limitations, the district historically denies more than 200 applications annually.
The August 2018 launch of the Science Magnet at Brookside Intermediate will be for 6th grade students only, with the subsequent years adding a grade level. "We still have a ways to go to determining the elementary schools that will be served by the new magnet school as well as hiring a program manager," said Bockart. "All of those details will be worked out by January."
Recently, the Clear Creek ISD Board of Trustees approved the design of the magnet expansion and the fine arts addition at Brookside Intermediate. Construction is anticipated to begin in December 2017 with a proposed completion of early August 2018; however, availability of contractors and subcontractors may affect timelines due to Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts across the area. PBK is the architect.

Court strikes out suit challenging Akeredolu's candidacy
Wednesday, December 16, 2020 Fashola MC POSCABA 0 Latest News in Nigeria
A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, dismissed a suit challenging the validity of the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s governorship primary election which produced Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, as its candidate for the October 10 poll.
Recall that Akeredolu had won the governorship election, securing a total number of 292, 830 votes to beat other contestants in the race.
Following the development, one of the aspirants in the primary poll, Dr. Nath Adojutelegan, on Aug. 3, approached the court, seeking an order to nullify the election of Akeredolu and to direct a fresh election in the state on the ground that he was not validly elected as APC candidate.
According to him, the APC did not hold a valid governorship primary election on July 17 and 20.
However, Justice Okon Abang, in his judgement, aligned with the defendants that the suit was status barred, therefore, the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.
Abang also held that the suit was filed out of time.
"This suit is hereby dismissed for want of jurisdiction," he said.
He also ordered the plaintiff to pay the APC and Akeredolu N50,000 each, NAN reports.

The following USS Missouri model is from David Steckel. The Missouri was ordered by the US Navy in 1940 and was commissioned on June 1944.
It looks great in our custom display case!
We recently received a few photos of our mirror display case from Bobby Poole and one heck of a great testimonial.
Ron, the case arrived today in perfect condition. The workmanship is very well done especially the delicate work of forming the acrylic edges and joining corners. Spectacular! I inserted the Battleship Missouri and it immediately gave me a sense of what the total presentation will be like. It encourages me to build in even more detail into the model itself.
Thank you for the prompt and professional service. I have a collection of Brass locomotives that I will be asking you to build cases for soon. I look forward to the relationship.

NFT lender BendDAO proposes key changes to avoid liquidity crisis
Himan Mohapatra
Decentralized peer-to-pool NFT lending protocol BendDAO has proposed several key changes, including revising liquidity threshold, auction period, and base interest rate, in a bid to avoid an impending credit crisis.
BendDAO, which lends ETH to borrowers using NFTs as collaterals, is in a rough spot. The protocol currently gives out loans up to 40% of an asset's floor price in ETH. Depositors receive a certain amount of interest for enabling these loans.
Last week, dozens of NFTs fell to the platform's danger zone after the floor prices of the assets dropped significantly. At a certain threshold, the assets are automatically liquidated through an auction.
Fearing a collapse, depositors tried to withdraw their assets in mass, leading to a bank run that brought down the protocol's reserves to a low of 5 ETH on Sunday from over 10,000 ETH.
According to Etherscan, the DAO's reserve has recovered to some extent and holds about 650 ETH, at press time.
The problem for the DAO is evidently the way the auction works. Liquidated assets fail to attract any bids because of the high threshold – used to protect the DAO's interest to accept any loss.
"We are sorry that we underestimated how illiquid NFTs could be in a bear market when setting the initial parameters," wrote one of the co-founders, codeincoffee, in the community forum.
As a result, the DAO has proposed specific policy changes. Currently, the auction threshold for liquidated assets is at 95% of the prevailing floor price. The proposal wants to update it to 85% for now, ultimately bringing it down to 70% by Sept 20.
Other proposed changes include:
Revising the auction period to 4 hours from 48 hours.
Adjusting the base interest rate to 20%.
Creating a voting mechanism to deal with bad debt.
At the time of writing, the proposal had received an overwhelming number of votes in favor, signaling it's all set to pass.

If any doctors are reading this post, I request them not to get me wrong here.
What I mean is that like all essential commodities (oil, power, etc)….doctors are also always in demand. Irrespective of whether the economy is going up or down.
And this thought of having an increasing customer base, leads me to believe that doctors almost always, are much better off than any other class of professionals, when it comes to having a solid, sustainable and predictable income stream. Though a doctor's income depends primarily on number of patients he treats, it is safe to assume that there is never a shortage of patients.
And this remark does seem to make a lot of sense.
And honestly speaking, even I am curious to know how doctors manage their finances. With a stable, reliable and almost-guaranteed-for-life flow of increasing income, I want to know the thought process which doctors use to take financial decisions. Where do they invest? Why do they invest? How much risk do they take…etc?
And since I don't know many doctors who can answer these questions, I invite readers to help me get answers. It would be great if some of you (doctors or their friends / relatives) could share your thoughts with me. You can mail me on stableinvestor@gmail.com and I will do a post sharing your thoughts with everyone. In case you do not want to disclose your identity, then I can assure you that it will be protected while publishing your thoughts.
