Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of an armed suspect at 11703 Kirkmeadow about 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday (Oct. 1).
The identity of the suspect is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
Three Pearland Police Department officers and one Houston police officer discharged their weapons. None of the officers was injured. The HPD employee, Senior Police Officer J. Anderson, assigned to the Southeast Patrol Division, was sworn in as an officer in July 1993.
Officers in Liverpool, Texas, responded to an aggravated assault call in their area. Officers arrived and observed the suspect fleeing the location in a motor vehicle. Liverpool officers pursued the vehicle into Pearland, where Pearland officers joined the pursuit. During the pursuit, the suspect fired shots at the officers. Once the vehicle pursuit proceeded into Houston, HPD officers responded and assisted. The suspect pulled into a residential neighborhood and parked in the driveway of a residence at 11703 Kirkmeadow.
As HPD and Pearland officers arrived at the address, the suspect exited his vehicle and pointed a shotgun toward the officers. The officers, fearing for their lives, discharged their weapons. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
As is customary in HPD officer-involved shooting incidents in the city limits, the case is being investigated by the HPD Homicide and Internal Affairs Divisions as well as the Harris County District Attorney's Office.


Yesterday I had to go to the yochien, it was the mama circle introduction day and when they pick the class reps for the PTA. Up until now hubby has come along in case there was something important that we need to know and that I would miss, with my Japanese not being so great but yesterday it was time to go it alone.
When I arrived I bumped into a mom who happens to be a student of my friends, Madi, she lived in the US for 3 years and has great English, it was good to have someone to hang out with instead of my being a billy-no-mates. The kids went to class and the moms headed to the hall where the various mama circles showed their stuff to entice you to join up, the classes available are..
I am very undecided about the the whole thing, I would quite like to try the calligraphy BUT I can't write kanji with a pencil so what hope have I got with a brush? Another of Madi's students introduced herself to me, she has already had one kid go through yochien and her 2nd is in the final grade so she is a bit of a yochien pro, so she dragged me over to the calligraphy sensei, who doesn't speak any English. I might go to the demonstration day - maybe. Part of the reason Ebi-kun is going to yochien is so that I would have some time to work, if I join one of the circles I will miss a day of work, what with the trip too and from the yochien plus I will have to pay for the class, rather defeats the point of having him there!
Once all that was done, the kids tidied up and we hung around waiting for them. It appears that none of the moms in the class speak English but a couple did come and talk to me an I explained that I can understand some of what is going on I am just rubbish at speaking, languages really are not my forte!
We finished off then Ebi-kun and I went to lunch at an opticians, yes, you read the right, it is an opticians with a cafe attached, quite an odd concept but it was a nice end to a stressful morning.
wow. Your kinder runs activities to keep the mums busy??
What the last person said.
I bet you're seen as a bad mum if you don't join, ne?
and heaven forbid, what if you *want* to get a job!!

Barmby
Last name: Barmby
This is an English locational surname. Recorded in the modern spellings of Barmby and Barnby, it is of northern origins from one or all of the various places called Barmby, as in Barmby on the Moor, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, or Barmby on Don, near Doncaster, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The meaning of the name is open to conjecture. It is certainly Danish-Viking pre 8th century, the suffix '-by' originally -'bi' meaning a farm or small settlement in Scandanavian, whilst the prefix may be a personal name such as 'Biarni', a name well recorded in its native land, or it could derive from the Olde English 'bera', meaning a bear. This may well also have been a personal name, as the bear as an animal, had been extinct in the area many centuries before the first recordings of the place names in the famous Domesday Book of 1086. This listed all known English villages and settlements at that date. The transposition of the letters 'n' and 'm' was quite normal in medieval times, as shown in what is believed to be the first known recording. This was Richard de Barneby in the Hundred Rolls of Yorkshire for the year 1273, with Thomas de Barmby appearing in the Poll Tax rolls of 1379. Other recordings include Charles Barmbye in the register of Oxford University in 1584 - 85, and Francis Barnbye of the city of York, also in 1585.

September 18th in Seal Beach History
Posted on September 18, 2019 by Michael Dobkins
On this date in 1976, the Long Beach Independent Press-Telegram reported that former Grandma's Ice Cream manager, Richard "Chris" Feddersohn won a $57,500 judgement against Seal Beach and a former Seal Beach police officer Larry Wright.
"Naturally, I feel pretty good about it all because I felt all along I had not done anything wrong," Feddersohn told Independent Press-Telegram reporter Bob Sanders after the judgement was announced.
Feddersohn's suit stemmed from his arrest for failure to disperse during the St. Patrick's Day riot in 1974. The charge was later dropped.
For years, celebrating St Patrick's Day was a proud local tradition that included a Finnegan's Wake pub crawl/parade from Belmont Shore with the parade ending at Seal Beach's Irish themed bars, The Irisher and Clancy's. In 1973 St. Patrick's Day celebration fell on a Saturday, and a crowd of St. Patrick's Day celebrants estimated at around a thousand became unruly on Main Street. Seal Beach police closed the bars and two liquor stores and then dispersed the crowd shortly before 10 p.m..
One year later in 1974, Seal Beach police, anticipating similar St. Patrick's Day troubles, had a much stronger police presence on Main Street that included additional police officers from Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos, and other neighboring cities.
At the time, Feddersohn was manager of Grandma's Candies at its 113 ½ Main Street location between Clancy's and The Irisher.
"I went to work about 5 p.m. and we had a big, big night. There were big crowds in the store and we sold a lot of candy, hot dogs, and cookies.
"Around 8 or 8:30 the police asked the two bars and the liquor store across the street to close. Then they blocked off Main Street from Ocean Avenue to Central Avenue.
"About 9:30 a police helicopter flew overhead and ordered the crowd to disperse. There were about 1,000 people on the street, so I decided to close the store.
"Normally we put the furniture out on the sidewalk while we sweep and mop the inside but, obviously, this was no time for that. So I just locked the door and shut off the lights.
"There were about five or six employees, plus the owner (Mrs. Nancy Crawford) inside the store.
"About 30 police officers spread out across the street and started to sweep south from Central toward Ocean. I remember that the officers on each end of the line had dogs.
"When they went past our door, I heard an officer say, 'Stay inside and keep the door locked.'
"Officers were arresting people all over the place.
"Suddenly there was a police officer pounding on the door. Nancy (Mrs. Crawford) tried to unlock the door, but before she could, the glass in the door was broken out.
"The officer shouted, 'Get out of here,' and started pushing people into the street. I was the second from the last to go.
"When I was about 10 feet outside the door, I heard Nancy say, 'Chris, I'm bleeding,' and I looked back to see blood on her hands.
"When I tried to go to her, the officer pushed me and said, 'Go on.'
" I couldn't see his badge number because his jacket was buttoned, so I asked him his name.
"He answered 'Larry Wright and you're under arrest.'
"When he put the handcuffs on me, I didn't think too much about it, since I was sure I could explain, but when he started hitting me on the back with the billy club, I knew I was in trouble. He and another officer (unidentified) beat me all the way to the paddy wagon.
"But I still thought I would be able to explain when I got to the police station.
"It didn't work out that way, though."
"About 1 a.m. I was taken with about 50 other people to the Orange County Jail. About 5 a.m. I found out I was charged with failure to disperse and the bail was $500.
"I called my girlfriend and she came down and bailed me out of jail about 9 a.m."
Feddersohn claimed that the district attorney's office pressured him to plead guilty.
"I went to court about 15 or 20 times, and at one time they offered me a $10 fine to plead guilty."
Feddersohn was working toward a teaching credential, so he refused. "I knew I couldn't afford to have a conviction on my record."
Ultimately, the district attorney's office offered to drop the charge after a six month's continuance if Fedderson didn't get into any more trouble within that period. Six months later, the charges against him were dropped.
But Feddersohn couldn't drop the matter.
"I went to a Seal Beach Businessman's Association meeting and told what happened, but no one paid any attention. Then I spoke to the council and asked for an investigation.
"They said there would be one but there never was. That's when I decided to sue."
Feddersohn hired Seal Beach attorney Stan Steinberg and filed suit against the city and against Wright. The Superior Court trial took over three weeks and ended with the jury awarding Fedderson $ 50,000 for general damages from the city and $7,500 for punitive damages from Wright. The Independent Press-Telegram story stressed that when "a jury awards punitive damages, it usually indicates they believe the officer acted with malice."
Officer Wright had been fired by Seal Beach Police Chief Ed Cibbarelli approximately a year after he arrested Fedderson. Cibbarelli claimed that Wright's termination had to do with "several other incidents of improper procedure. Some of which involved "excessive force."
But Chief Cibbarelli did not agree with the jury's decision. "I felt that officer Wright did the right thing in making the Feddersohn arrest, and I feel that way today."

Will there be enough flats for growing population?
Dubai's stock market ended 2018 on Monday with a 25 percent annual loss, the worst year since the global financial crisis a decade ago, as the real estate and tourism sectors struggled.
The plunge in the Dubai Financial Market Index was the biggest among Gulf and Arab bourses amid signs of a slowdown in the emirate's highly diversified economy.
"The performance of traditional growth engines for UAE – real estate and retail – have been lacklustre," MR Raghu, head of research at Kuwait Financial Centre(Markaz), said.
In 2018 Oman's small bourse dropped 15 percent while stock markets in other energy-rich Arab Gulf monarchies ended the year in positive territory, buoyed by an increase in oil prices.
The Dubai market's sister bourse in Abu Dhabi rose more than 10 percent.
The Saudi stock market, the largest in the Arab world, ended the year up 8.3 percent despite dipping to a three-year low in October.
"2018 has been a volatile year for the Saudi stock market," as it began on a strong note but lost ground because of "political uncertainties," Raghu told AFP.
Raghu expects that the UAE market will fare better next year as government has taken some measures and the international trade fair Expo 2020 is likely to lift the economy.
Economic growth in Dubai, which is not directly dependent on oil, is expected to have slowed to 2.3 percent in 2018, from 2.8 percent the previous year, according to the central bank.


As President and CEO of NetKi Enterprises, Nanette Kirk's vision was to create a vehicle to share her love of writing, storytelling and encouraging others.
Faced with the uncertainty of being downsized, Nanette embraced concepts learned from a career transition company to write her own resume. Fascinated with receiving multiple offers, she settled in a management career while still helping friends and families with their resumes. Soon, she uncovered a gap between qualified candidates and hiring companies. Leveraging her management skills and her resume writing experience, she formed NetKi Enterprises.
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana to her police officer father and LPN mother, Nanette Kirk was taught the importance of education. Attending public schools early and "bused" to a suburban school as a result of desegregation, Nanette later graduated from Broad Ripple High School in Indianapolis. Out of high school, Nanette attended Indiana University for a time and eventually secured A.S. and B.S. in degrees Business and a MBA from Indiana Wesleyan University.

• An underground utility explosion shut down streets and forced evacuations of many office buildings and a courthouse in Albany, New York. – Albany Times-Union
1. September 20, Albany Times-Union – (New York) A big blast from below. An underground utility explosion rocked a downtown neighborhood of Albany, New York, September 19, sending manhole covers flying with a fireball in the air. The explosions forced officials to shut down streets and several office buildings on North Pearl Street were evacuated. The blast happened at the corner of Steuben and Pearl streets, according to the fire chief. The city ordered the evacuations of buildings on North Pearl Street between State and Columbia streets. Some buildings on Eagle and Pine streets were also closed. National Grid crews were on the scene, dealing with the aftermath of the utility fire. The company cut electrical service to many downtown buildings. The mayor said the city and utility companies will need to look into the infrastructure under the ground to determine if there are widespread problems. The Albany County Judicial Center was evacuated and closed. County officials said a fire in the sewer system outside the building caused smoke to be drawn into the building's air intake system. A spokesman for National Grid said the explosion was caused by a fault on an electrical cable. He said utility crews were working to make repairs and were testing for natural gas fumes.

September 19, authorities arrested 14 individuals suspected of participating in one of the largest and longest stolen identity tax refund fraud schemes the United States has ever witnessed. It is believed that the fraudsters attempted to steal around $65 million. The individuals caused damages of $11.3 million according to a U.S. attorney's office in New Jersey. They were charged with conspiracy to defraud the State and theft of government property. The perpetrators would steal the Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and other sensitive details of unsuspecting individuals, many of whom reside in Puerto Rico. The fraudulently obtained data would then be utilized to file Individual Income Tax Returns. The tax return checks issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury were intercepted by the conspirators, often by bribing mail carriers.

13. September 19, WAPT 15 Jackson – (Mississippi) Bond set for women accused in robbery attempt with fake bomb. Bond was set for two women accused in a fake bomb plot in Canton, Mississippi,September 19, officials said. Canton police said a woman who claimed that two men forced her to strap on a backpack with what she thought was explosives was charged with bank robbery. Investigators said she walked into a Trustmark bank September 14 and told employees she had a bomb in the backpack she was wearing. She told police that two men attacked and kidnapped her from a gas station and forced her to strap on the backpack that she believed contained explosives. They then threatened to kill her if she did not rob the bank, police said. Initially, police said it appeared she had been a victim, but the investigation later led to her arrest. Police did not say what role they believed the second woman played in the robbery attempt. Police said the backpack contained two bricks, and no explosives.

36. September 20, The Register – (International) Hacktivists, blackhats snatch sixguns from whitehats' holsters. Tools designed for testing server and network defenses are being used by hacktivists to launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on Web sites. More and more assaults are concentrating on exhausting Web apps and the HTTP server software running it, rather than simply flooding the underlying stack with bogus traffic to exhaust resources and bandwidth, according to the latest edition of Imperva's Hacker Intelligence report. This type of attack may be directed at specific types of Web servers such as IIS or Apache, or to specific applications, such as SharePoint. The latest and most popular distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) tools include LOIC, SlowHTTPTest, and railgun. The use of the latter two white-hat tools shows how black-hat hackers have begun running attacks that utilize white-hat testing tools. Attacks analyzed by Imperva in its report include network assaults by hacktivists in Bahrain, Colombia, and Russia, as well as Web blitzes against businesses linked to DDoS-for-hire scams. DDoS attacks typically run from botnet networks of compromised computers. Source: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/20/ddos_trends_imperva/
37. September 20, Homeland Security News Wire – (International) New NIST publication provides guidance for computer security risk assessments. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a final version of its risk assessment guidelines which, NIST says, can provide senior leaders and executives with the information they need to understand and make decisions about their organization's current information security risks and information technology infrastructures. A NIST release notes that information technology risks include risk to the organization's operations (including, for example, missions and reputation), its critical assets such as data and physical property, and individuals who are part of or served by the organization. In some cases, these risks extend to the nation as a whole. Risk assessments are part of an organization's total risk management process.

38. September 20, Computerworld – (International) Microsoft: Patch for critical IE zero-day bug coming Friday. September 19, Microsoft released a stopgap defense that protects Internet Explorer (IE) against attacks until the company issues a patch September 21. The update will fix five flaws, including one revealed by a security researcher the weekend of September 15 that hackers have been exploiting to hijack Windows PCs and infect them with malware. The so-called ―zero-day‖ vulnerability — meaning it was leveraged by attackers before Microsoft was aware of the bug, much
less able to patch it — has been analyzed and discussed by security experts with increasing intensity since September 17. Source: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9231478/Microsoft_Patch_for_critical_IE_zero_day_bug_coming_Friday
39. September 20, The Register – (International) Sophos antivirus classifies its own update kit as malware. There were problems for Sophos users September 19 after the business-focused antivirus firm Sophos released an update that classified itself and any other update utility as a virus. As a result, enterprise PCs running the application became confused, generating false positives reporting SSH/Updater-B malware. System administrators were bombarded with automated alerts by email about the bogus problem. The issue was resolved with a functional update, issued later September 19. For many, troubles continued because many endpoints and corporate networks hit by the false positive have been left with systems that can no longer update themselves properly because the required functionality has been consigned to quarantine.

40. September 20, The Register – (International) Latest iPhone hacked to blab all your secrets. Dutch hackers exploited a WebKit bug in mobile Web browser Safari to wipe an iPhone 4S of its photos, address book contacts, and its browser history. The flaw exists in Apple's iOS 5.1.1 and the latest developer preview of iOS 6, which was made public September 19. As such, the vulnerability should affect iPhones, iPads, and modern iPods — including the new iPhone 5. The vulnerability could also exist in BlackBerry and Android phones, which also use the WebKit engine in their built-in Web browsers, although the hack has not been tested on these platforms. The bug was demonstrated by the team at Certified Secure at the Pwn2Own Mobile hacking contest in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the week of September 17. A Samsung Galaxy S3 was also broken into and compromised by a separate team at MWR Labs using wireless near-field communication (NFC) technology.

41. September 20, Softpedia – (International) Over 1 million PCs currently part of ZeroAccess global botnet. The piece of malware known as ZeroAccess is present on more than 1 million computers spread throughout almost 200 countries. So far, the threat was found to be installed more than 9 million times on the devices of unsuspecting users. The total number of installs reached this limit in just several months. ZeroAccess generates a profit for its masters with the aid of a peer-to-peer network that is used to download malicious plugins. These components are capable of carrying out diverse tasks that help the criminals make money. According to experts, cyber criminals can earn as much as $100,000 per day if the botnet is operating at maximum capacity. After monitoring the threat for 2 months, Sophos was able to pinpoint the locations of the infected machines. Most appear to be in the United States (55 percent), Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, Spain, France, Austria, Italy, and Japan.

42. September 20, Softpedia – (International) Users of mobile portals exposed to HTTP header pollution attacks, expert finds. At the EUSecWest security conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands, an independent security researcher unveiled his findings on GSM vulnerabilities in a paper entitled ―Using HTTP headers pollution for mobile networks attacks.‖ The attacks he demonstrated target the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and Web portals on which the customers of mobile operators can perform specific tasks such as money transfers, content downloads, and subscriptions. Depending on the services offered by the carrier on these Web sites, cyber criminals can abuse the security holes for their own gain. Apparently, there is also a way for shady companies to take advantage of these flaws. Third-party mobile content providers can enter agreements with the carrier and secretly subscribe customers to their paid services. A majority of the sites tested by the researcher — belonging to operators from all over the world — were found to be vulnerable to the attack method he identified.

43. September 20, The H – (International) Apple closes numerous security holes with iOS 6. With the release of iOS 6.0, Apple not only delivers several new features to the mobile operating system but also closes many security vulnerabilities. The major update deals with a list of almost 200 CVE items, some of which apply to several vulnerabilities. The problems grant hackers almost free reign: They range from a hole that lets attackers circumvent the passcode on the lock screen, to the ability to fake text message sender information and code injection through specially prepared Web sites or media files. One vulnerability is caused by an error in the way the operating system parses some configuration files. The hole allows attackers to pretend an important system update is available for the user's device. This update appears to be signed by Apple or the user's mobile carrier, when in fact it is completely fake. If the user installs the so-called ―update,‖ the malicious configuration file is able to change critical system settings. Through this attack vector, hackers can configure a proxy on the system and are able to breach the encrypted data connections of the iOS device. This can even give hackers access to the Apple account of the victim, allowing them to spend the victim's money in the iTunes Store. This vulnerability was first publicly disclosed 3 years ago.

44. September 19, Dark Reading – (International) Attack easily cracks Oracle database passwords. A researcher with AppSec Inc. plans to show an attack exploiting cryptographic flaws he discovered in Oracle's database authentication protocol at the Ekoparty security conference in Buenas Aires, Argentina. It allows an attacker without any database credentials to brute-force hack the password hash of any database user so he/she then can access the data. The researcher and his team first reported the bugs to Oracle in May 2010. Oracle fixed them in mid-2011 via the 11.2.0.3 patch set, issuing a new version of the protocol. ―But they never fixed the current version, so the current 11.1 and 11.2 versions are still vulnerable,‖ the researcher said, and Oracle has no plans to fix the flaws for version 11.1.

46. September 19, Warminster Patch – (Pennsylvania) Verizon outage disrupts Bucks and Montgomery County. Verizon's private and business FiOS customers in Bucks and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, felt the effects of a September 18 storm well into September 19, spending most of the day without phone and Internet service. Verizon's media relations manager for the northeast region said the trouble started September 18 when a tree toppled over power lines outside the company's Hatboro office. The back-up generator maintained operations until it shut down September 19. When the generator regained power, it began recharging the office's bank of back-up batteries. One battery began to overheat, forcing technicians to shut down power again to repair the faulty equipment. The loss of FiOS service not only left residential customers without phone service for a bulk of the day, but also affected the 9-1-1 systems for Bucks and Montgomery counties. Local businesses that use FiOS for credit card transactions also experienced network connectivity issues.

Final Agency Determinations
Basic Provisions 20(b)
Final Agency Determination: FAD-245
Subject: Request dated September 4, 2015, to the Risk Management Agency (RMA) requesting a Final Agency Determination for the 2012 crop year regarding the interpretation of section 20(b) of the Common Crop Insurance Basic Provisions (Basic Provisions), published at 7 C.F.R. § 457.8. This request is pursuant to 7 C.F.R. § 400, subpart X.
Referenced policy and procedure in request:
The preamble of the Basic Provisions states, in relevant part:
This insurance policy is reinsured by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) under the provisions of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (Act) (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). All provisions of the policy and rights and responsibilities of the parties are specifically subject to the Act. The provisions of the policy may not be waived or varied in any way by us, our insurance agent or any other contractor or employee of ours or any employee of USDA unless the policy specifically authorizes a waiver or modification by written agreement. We will use the procedures (handbooks, manuals, memoranda and bulletins), as issued by FCIC and published on RMA's Web site at www.rma.usda.gov or a successor Web site, in the administration of this policy, including the adjustment of any loss or claim submitted hereunder.
Section 20(b) of the Basic Provisions states, in relevant part:
20. Mediation, Arbitration, Appeal, Reconsideration, and Administrative and Judicial Review.
(b) Regardless of whether mediation is elected:
(1) The initiation of arbitration proceedings must occur within one year of the date we denied your claim or rendered the determination with which you disagree, whichever is later;
(2) If you fail to initiate arbitration in accordance with section 20(b)(1) and complete the process, you will not be able to resolve the dispute through judicial review;
Interpretation Submitted
The requestor interprets Section 20(b)(1) of the Basic Provisions to establish an absolute deadline or limitations period within which an arbitration proceeding must be either filed with the American Arbitration Association or demanded pursuant to RMA Bulletin MGR-12-003.1. The requestor believes that the one year limitation for filing arbitration is unequivocal and must be adhered to strictly. The requestor further interprets Section 20(b)(1) to mean that the one year limitations period begins to run on the date that the Approved Insurance Provider (AIP) denies a claim, or otherwise makes a determination that the policyholder is challenging or seeking a review of in the arbitration. The requestor believes that the date the AIP notifies the policyholder of the amount of an indemnity payment or a determination that no indemnity payment is due, constitutes the date of the denial of a claim or determination. In other words, it is the date of denial or determination itself that is being challenged that triggers the running of the limitations.
The requestor further interprets this provision in conjunction with the non-waiver provisions in the preamble of the Basic Provisions to mean that once a denial or determination has been made, any subsequent decision to not re-open or reconsider a previous denial or determination does not start the limitations period to commence again. The requestor believes that a policyholder's objections to, or request for a reconsideration of a denial or determination, would have no effect on the running of the limitations period unless the objection or reconsideration results in a new and different determination that modifies or changes the original denial or determination. The requestor further believes that the intentions regarding the one year limitations is to apply a consistent bench mark for the period in which arbitrations can be filed. To allow an objection or reconsideration request by the policyholder to start the running of the limitations period again, would clearly be inconsistent with the intentions and purposes of such a time bar. It has been stated that "allowing insurance company representatives under federally reinsured programs to inadvertently extend limitations period by answering claimant's inquiries or by considering new information would contravene a strong public policy to encourage an insurance company to reconsider its original denial when confronted with potential new facts. If insurance companies were saddled with the situation that whenever they reconsidered an earlier decision it would inaugurate a new limitations period, companies would be reluctant to offer policyholders a luxury of a second evaluation." Wagner v. FEMA, 847 F.2d 515 (9th Cir. 1988). Also, see Godbold v. Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, 365 F. Supp. 836 (N.D. Miss. 1973), where the court found that the limitations is not extended by claimant's meeting with the insurer to obtain reconsideration of the original denial. Taken to its extreme, a policyholder could object to or request reconsideration multiple times and thereby extend the limitations deadline indefinitely every time the AIP responds or refuses to reconsider or change the initial determination.
The requestor also interprets the non-waiver provision to preclude an AIP from waiving the limitations period by any language or information contained in correspondence to the policyholder refusing to reconsider or modify the original denial, including any language suggesting that a policyholder has any additional time in which to challenge a claim or determination. As there is no formal policy procedure or process in the Basic Provisions for requesting a reconsideration, the requester believes that the starting line for the running of the limitations period cannot arbitrarily be moved by actions or inactions taken by the policyholder or the AIP that do not change, correct, or modify in any way the original denial or determination being complained of. The requestor further interprets these provisions to mean that an AIPs refusal to re-open a denial or determination or reconsider same does not constitute a denial in and of itself and thereby extend the limitations period.
Final Agency Determination
FCIC agrees with the requestor's interpretation. There is no ambiguity in the policy. Its plain meaning is that the insured has one year from the date of denial of the claim or receives any other determination with which the insured disagrees to file for arbitration. This is consistent with FAD-151 published on RMA's website, which states, "The one year date starts from the date the policyholder receives a determination to which the policyholder disagrees." Any further discussion, meeting, or correspondence that may occur regarding the determination to which the policyholder disagrees is not a determination for the purposes of section 20(b) of the Basic Provisions that starts the one-year time period for arbitration. FCIC also agrees that the AIP cannot waive or extend the limitations period. Since the Basic Provisions are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, they have the force of law. The one year time period must be strictly construed.
In accordance with 7 C.F.R. § 400.765(c), this Final Agency Determination is binding on all participants in the Federal crop insurance program for the crop years the policy provisions are in effect. Any appeal of this decision must be in accordance with 7 C.F.R. § 400.768(g).

But don't let all the swank fool you: The menu is full of affordable dishes, like four mussels pots under $20 and sweetbreads for $13.


I've also thought about retexturizing all the games but like you say it's about 6-7 months of intensive use of Photoshop per game (on my side).
45 hours/week job + children here !
maybe we should open a project sourceforge and put some textures a week.
I'll make a sign when I'm ready for a next project, there will be one for sure !!
Good job, thanks a lot!
I'll update my download links soon !
Now the texture pack will respect the original game and the fans as much as possible !
All the playable cars have their HD logos colorized with the original colors !
Efforts are still made to bring back the true experience in HD... W.I.P.
Everything about the Hornet car is finished with respect to the original !!
I've been following this and I really like it.
Don't you think it'd get more attention in the driving and racing forum?
But if a staff member thinks it's better to move the topic to a more appropriate place, why not ?
I think you'll reach more of your target audience in this driving sub-forum, stf999.
Thank you. Always amazed that people lend their time and talent to making things better. Long time lurker but after taking advantage of tons of advice and improvements from so many on here, I had to register to say thank you.
Looking good. I wonder how much could be upscaled on the gun games.... I can't remember how much of those games are sprite work and how much is actual textures.
Virtua Cop, House of the dead ? 100% textures that could also be changed (a lot of work of course ).
Do you mean it has already been made on gun games ?
Sure, Hotd, it's one of my favorite games.
Cool I didn't know you started HODT. Good surprise!
Initially I just wanted to place a Sonic in the beginner course you made and nothing else.
After that I have started to change your textures one by one because I didn't really recognise the original Daytona (sorry) and wanted each track to have it's own original visual, with more color, true Sega style.
You have replaced about 200 textures.
As your textures were clear enough to be identified, it was an easy task to guess where the texture would be applied (just a replacement job but a big graphic edition job).
Then I started to add more and more textures over your 200 (from scratch) using the Dump Texture Cache option.
When I had a problem to identify a texture, I painted it in green and looked for the green texture ingame, a good search method. No difficulty here but time consuming, no hacking skill as Elsemi has given the tool.
I have also cared about the textures size to make sure the pack could be launched on smaller configurations and avoid aliasing at some point, and to shorten the loading time.
The pack has now more than 480 textures, all mine (I'm finishing the flags in advance circuit, no more country flags I kept from you but the original ones redrawn).
If it's long it's because the textures are all edited/transformed manually (if originally a picture from internet), or created from scratch. I draw and I love it. There's no random in what you'll see onscreen.
I have also completely rewritten a clear pat file to allow other people to easily identify all the textures, as I like to share and help.
I came late on a project. Gamespek forum was already closed so no support.
(No conflict, I respectfully still make friends discover Nuexzz's Daytona USA ++) We all here have the same goal : share a passion.
A super cool Daytona fan has given me copies of the original flyers, so I have been able to recreate the original stickers. Thanks a lot Axel !!!
Great work Nuexzz and stf999!
When will be available the next version of the textures, stf999?
Are you constantly updating the downloadable textures pack in the post number 1?
I won't update the download links until I reach my goal which is now to deliver a 100% (let's say 98%) respectful Daytona.
This takes time because I actually draw 100% from scratch with Photoshop (no good material available anywhere for the 60 textures I've had to redo + I wanted a 100% accurate HD Hornet).
I also used a dozen of textures from Nuexzz in my first pack. I've had to replace them to make my pack 100% exclusive.
I post a pic from time to time as I know a few players/drawers following the topic, and for the people interested here.
I will announce the final pack and will update the 1st post when it's all done.
Stickers redrawn from scratch, based on the original material provided by AxelDragani (I wasn't able to read the Road Thunder logo from screenshots before).
Many thanks for your reply stf999!

Abstract: Long-term removal of grain P and soil test data suggested that the Colwell phosphorus (P) extraction from the surface 0.10 m of a Black Vertosol from south-eastern Queensland was a poor indicator of run-down of soil P pools. We proposed that plants were also accessing P from layers below 0.10 m or from surface soil P pools not extracted by the Colwell extraction. Both topsoil and subsoil samples in 1994 and 2003 were collected from nil and 20 kg P/ha per crop treatments in a long-term N × P field experiment established in 1985 for detailed P fractionation. An uncropped reference soil was also taken in 2003 from an adjacent area. The long-term effect of the field treatments on soil P fractions was evaluated by comparing the reference site, which was assumed to represent the original soil condition, to the 2003 samples. Without addition of P fertiliser, 55%, 35%, and 10% of total P removal were from 0 to 0.10, 0.10 to 0.30, and 0.30 to 0.60 m, respectively, compared with the uncropped reference soil. Labile fractions comprising resin, bicarbonate, and hydroxide pools in the top 0.10 m decreased by approximately 60% and accounted for 15% of the total P decrease from 0 to 0.60 m depth. Acid and residual-P fractions decreased by 50% and 20%, respectively, and accounted for ~20% and 15% of the total P decrease. In contrast, P addition at 20 kg P/ha per crop over 18 crops doubled the resin and bicarbonate inorganic P (NaHCO³-Pi) pools in the surface 0.10 m. Hydroxide (NaOH-Pi) and acid extracted inorganic P increased by 25% and 10%, respectively, while the residual-P pool decreased by about 15%. Below 0.10 m, very little P was removed by the first 3 extractants. Most of the P was present in the acid and residual fractions irrespective of fertiliser application. The acid and residual-P dropped by 30% and 12%, respectively, at 0.10–0.30 m and 12% and 8% at 0.30–0.60 m. When comparing the experimental soil samples in 2003 with those in 1994, similar trends were observed in the changes of each soil P fraction. In the surface 0.10 m, acid and residual-P pools decreased greatly and explained almost all of the total P decrease in the surface soil without P input. With P addition, labile pools acted as the main sink for P. The acid pool increased by 7%, while the residual-P showed a decrease in the topsoil. Total P level was elevated noticeably in this soil layer. However, at 0.10–0.30 m depth, acid and residual pools were the dominant fractions and decreased significantly irrespective of P fertiliser addition. Below 0.30 m, no significant changes were detected for each fraction and total P. The results suggest that crops had accessed significant amounts of P at 0.10–0.30 m depth irrespective of P fertiliser application, and that subsoil sampling (0.10–0.30 m) should be considered in order to improve the monitoring of soil P status. However, choice of appropriate extractants for monitoring subsoil P reserves is yet to be undertaken.

Evander Kane facing non-criminal charges
Buffalo Sabres Evander Kane is facing non-criminal harassment charges after an incident on June 24th, outside the Bottoms Up club in Buffalo.
Kane is accused of grabbing two women, including a third woman by the throat and hair, who has not came forward to press any charges. Kane also struck the club's bouncer after he warned Kane to stop his aggressive behaviour. Paul J. Cambria has stated that his client denies any wrongdoing.
Evander steadfastly maintains that he did not do anything wrong. We have seen the videos and they do not support that Kane did anything wrong. I am sick and tired of sources making inflammatory allegations. If you claim something happened, don't hide in the shadows. Anonymous sources are worthless. The courtroom is where the truth comes out.
In December of 2015, Kane was investigated for sexual assault. No criminal complaint was filed, and authorities concluded that nothing illegal happened. Sabres' GM Tim Murray stated that Kane must behave better. He will meet with the 24 year old once the legal process ends.
Acting District Attorney Michael J. Flaherty, Jr., said in March, after the first allegations, that there would not be charges filed against Kane:
After a careful and diligent examination of all the known facts, including the results of forensic and toxicological testing, neither the provable facts nor the applicable law support the filing of any criminal charges or a prosecution in this matter.

As the furniture industry joins the fight for a sustainable planet, the world's forests may be the only weapons we need. Forests are the lungs of the planet, providing oxygen while reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Woodlands are places of great biodiversity, protecting river basins and enabling wildlife to flourish. Sustainable forestry can even boost local economies, providing disenfranchised communities with the materials, jobs and resources they need to survive.
Although many in our industry are taking a responsible approach, the deforestation associated with manufacturing is threatening the ecological balance. The consequences of deforestation are inspiring better management of wood materials, but few manufacturers are replenishing the resources they consume. That's why Green are replanting the trees we harvest to make our products, planting one tree for every metre of seating, and every Leaf Lamp, we produce. We established our first forest in 2008, planting 1,000 birch saplings near our production workshop in southern Sweden. Five years later, we established a second forest nearby, planting 500 cherry trees and 400 maples, then added another 1,000 birch saplings in 2016.
Concerns about the deforestation of South American rainforests led Green to Colombia, where some of the most bio-diverse and complex forests in the world once flourished. Green established a partnership with Hacienda La Tentación, a privately-owned agroforestry plantation committed to reforesting the land and protecting nearby waterways. The plantation employs around 50 families and plays an active role in enriching the local community of Isaza, Caldas as a whole.
Hacienda La Tentación has recently allocated 120 hectares to reforestation. Green is financing a plantation of deep-rooted tree species, such as Colombian mahogany, rosy trumpet and princewood, varieties that will increase genetic variation without competing for the topsoil water needed by grasses and shrubs. These species provide permanent shade for the ground beneath them, filtering carbon particles out of the air and producing oxygen for the agroforestry ecosystems beginning to emerge. Rivers and wetlands irrigate the reforestation zone, where deep tree roots are needed to prevent the soil from eroding into the waterways after heavy tropical rains. They prevent the heavy soil run-off that can contaminate freshwater resources and deprive local communities of clean water.
The reforestation initiative at Hacienda La Tentación was co-founded by Gabriela Alvarez, who has a background in development economics. 'Green's participation in the venture is a catalyst in the development of a thriving environmentally and socially responsible industry,' she says. 'The trees planted by Green will benefit farm workers, local communities and the global ecosystem.' When mature, the timber from Green's forest will be harvested sustainably and prepared for manufacturing under controlled conditions.
Around 12 billion trees are planted each year, forming a value chain that starts with seedlings and ends with a staggering 985,000,000 tons of raw material. Green's seedlings are germinated in December and January, timed for planting in April or May to avoid Colombia's rainy and dry seasons. The seedlings are nurtured in the greenhouse for three to four months, taking care to ensure that they will be hardy enough to withstand Colombia's harsh equatorial climate when planted.
The initial group of 10 000 trees Green planted were dedicated to reforestation and the protection of waterways, which will have significant impact on forest ecologies, water management and the potential for biodiversity. All seedlings will be individually tagged with a barcode and a GPS location, and subsequently geo-tagged and scanned as soon as they are planted. The geo-tagging system makes it possible to follow their growth on googleearth.com, where we can monitor their impact on the local environment at any time.
It's stories like these that Green are bringing to Hacienda La Tentación, where our contribution to reforestation will touch the lives of the farmers, their families and the communities around the river basin that rely on clean water. We'll plant at least 5,000 more trees in the near future, creating a crop with potential to sustain whole ecosystems and the individuals who live nearby. As our products bring the beauty of wood to buildings around the world, we're letting trees tell our story. And when trees are nurtured and protected, there's always a happy ending to share.
Green's forest at Hacienda la Tentación was sown with 5,000 seedlings from native Central and South American species threatened by deforestation. We chose three species that can rebuild whole ecosystems and sustain them for years to come.
• Rosy trumpet (Tabebuia rosea) is a neo-tropical tree so hardy that it often survives heavy deforestation.
• Colombian mahogany (Cariniana pyriformis) has the strength to withstand storms, tropical winds and drought.
• Princewood (Cordia gerascanthus) provides a timber resource. Its bark is used in medicines and health tonics.
What? Committed to producing top-quality cocoa, the plantation is diversifying to protect the environment and support local communities.
Where? In the La Dorada region located in Colombia's Caldas province. The region lies at the foot of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano.
Why? Green is replenishing timber resources in an area threatened by deforestation by replanting the trees harvested for our products.

The opera is set in America and Vietnam between 1966 and 1996. It revolves around the title character, Amelia, who is expecting her first child and explores her relationship with her father, Dodge, a United States Navy pilot who died in the Vietnam War. The story is told by interweaving various times, realities, and real, historic, and mythological figures.
Scene 1: America, the Mid-1960s
Outside a suburban tract house a nine-year-old girl named Amelia sings a hymn to the stars as inside her mother folds laundry. Her father, a navy pilot named Dodge, emerges from the house in dress whites and indicates to her that it is time for bed. Her mother, Amanda, receives news that her husband Dodge has been shot down and is missing over Vietnam. Amelia is sung to sleep by her father and dreams of the final flight of Amelia Earhart. During the course of the scene it becomes clear that we are seeing the Father and his daughter in flashback and the mother in the present.
Scene 2: America, mid-1990s
Amelia, now aged 31 and in the final trimester of pregnancy, awakens in the arms of her husband Paul, an aeronautical engineer. Across the room toil Icarus and Daedalus on their wings. They are products of Amelia's imagination. It becomes clear that Amelia has serious unresolved emotional and psychological issues with the loss of her father that have been intensified by her pregnancy. In a flashback, she relives the moment her mother told her that her father had gone missing.
Scene 3: Vietnam, mid-1980s
Amelia and Amanda travel to a village in Vietnam after being contacted by a North Vietnamese couple, Huy and Trang, who have information about Dodge. The women communicate with the couple through an interpreter. (Much of the scene is sung in the Vietnamese language.) As Huy and Trang tell their story, pointing to where Dodge was shot down, the action they describe is played out around them. A Village Political Official threatens a young girl in order to force Dodge to talk. He accidentally shoots her. That girl was the couple's daughter. Dodge crawls to the daughter, closes her eyes, pulls a photo of his own daughter out of his flight suit, presents it to the parents of the girl. Also, he gives them his "final letter", which they conceal from the North Vietnamese Army. "Why did you wait so long to write to us?" Amelia asks the couple. "Because the girl was our daughter," Trang replies. He goes to the family altar, takes down a photo, and hands it to Amelia. It is Dodge's picture of Amelia as a girl. Amanda asks about the envelope. "A letter for you," says Huy. "Do you have it?" asks Amelia. "We burned it. We were angry."[3]
Scene 1: America: the mid-1990s
Amelia, extremely close to delivery, bursts into Paul's place of work and confronts him with her concerns. She has a nervous collapse.
Scene 2: A hospital, three days later
Amelia lies in a coma. In a room elsewhere in the hospital a young boy (played by the actor who portrayed Icarus) is dying in a bed, his father (played by the actor who portrayed Daedalus) holds his hand. Amelia has a grown up dream of Amelia Earhart, whose plane materializes above her bed, and who remains for the rest of the opera, a source of inspiration and courage to the real-life Amelia. During the course of the scene, Amelia dreams of her father Dodge, who comes to speak with her about his disappearance, life, and having a baby. She decides to wake up, and does, just after the boy flatlines and dies. Amelia, hard into labor, is wheeled to a delivery room.
Scene 3: The same hospital, a dozen or so hours later
Amelia, who has insisted upon natural childbirth, despite the grave risk to herself, goes through the final minutes of her labor as, around her, doctors proceed with the business of the hospital, the father receives his boy's belongings in a small plastic bag, is counseled by a priest and grief counselor. The circle of life is drawn closed as people from Amelia's life (including her parents) seem to reappear as other people – doctors, nurses, orderlies. The baby emerges. An elaborate a cappella nonette ensues[4] for all of the opera's major characters during which Amelia Earhart looks out happily into the opera house, the father puts on his coat and shuffles out, Paul and Amelia admire their new baby.
Critical response
Heidi Waleson, in The Wall Street Journal, described the work as "both highly original and gripping. ... Amelia is a modern opera with traditional values: Ms. McFall's multilayered libretto never loses sight of its story, and Mr. Hagen's restless, questioning music never loses its heart."[5] George Loomis, in the Financial Times, wrote that "the expressive range of Hagen's music broadens memorably to accommodate the cascade of divergent emotions en route to a grand, life-affirming unaccompanied ensemble for the nine principal singers."[6] Anthony Tommasini, in The New York Times, described the opera as "earnest and original, if heavy-handed and melodramatic. ... a serious, heartfelt and unusual work."[7] Bernard Jacobsen, in the Seattle Times, wrote, "Besides cleverly enabling the sung text to emerge with rare clarity, Hagen has fashioned a score of impassioned and compelling beauty. His melodic lines are eminently singable, and his sumptuous orchestral writing constantly enchants the ear. ...it stands as an achievement at once profound and hugely enjoyable."[8] Ivan Katz, in the Huffington Post, wrote "Daron Aric Hagen's score is well-composed and, in many respects, a work of genius. He tends to write in a more facile manner for the women, but his writing for the men (especially tenor William Burden) is complex and highly effective."[9]

Happy new year! I hope you all had a great break over the festive period and enjoyed your new years celebrations. Mine was pretty low key; good times with family and friends!
I haven't managed to complete as much new work as I would have liked though, as the wedding ate a big chunk of my time during the year, so I'm setting myself a goal to do a drawing a day project in 2013. More specifically... A Dwarf A Day! I've tried similar projects before and find them hard to stick to as I get a bit stuck for ideas when there's no brief or initial spark and only a blank page staring at me, so I thought a specific starting point or topic would help me out. The dwarf idea struck me on New Years Day, probably through a combination of lazy alliteration and seeing scores of lovely tomte/nisse type creatures in Denmark, and I thought I would run with the idea as it'll be a great way of constantly working on my character design skills throughout the year. Hopefully we'll be able to see a big improvement by the beginning of 2014! I'm looking forward to having it as a regular spot on the blog too, probably on a Friday or Monday to avoid plaguing you every day with dwarf/gnome creatures. Who knows, maybe if it goes well I'll compile them into a little book or something at the end of the year.
- Really improve my portfolio! Tick off all of the 'illustrations to do' that are scribbled on the glass of the picture frames in my studio, and work on a couple of new full illustrations every month.
- Get all my picture book ideas wrapped up and made up into full dummies.
- Watch this super duper speech by Neil Gaiman every month to keep me going and keep "walking towards that mountain". Possibly plaster sections of it all over the room. If you haven't seen it and you're an aspiring artist/illustrator/creative watch it right now!
- Pick up all of the non-illustration (gasp!) creative skills again that I used to enjoy so much, like playing guitar, knitting, and add some new ones, like crochet and possibly screenprinting.
What are your goals, professional and otherwise, for 2013? I've really enjoyed reading everyone else's new years posts so far, so do leave me a comment, I'd love to hear! Incidentally, if you have any tips or links to beginner's crochet for absolute dummies then please do share; I've been using Youtube videos and an amazing retro Ladybird book from the seventies, but I'm struggling and don't want to be crocheting the same never-ending chain stitch until 2014!

What is an Escrow Arrangement?
In general, Escrow Arrangements provide an independent service for two or more parties to ensure that a particular transaction will be successfully completed after the fulfilment of certain obligations that one party has made to another. Consequently, if a transaction requires escrow services in order to mitigate financial performance risk, you need a provider who can make the arrangements quickly, correctly, and securely, ensuring your transaction is successfully completed.
Why is an Escrow Arrangement necessary?
An Escrow Arrangement is essential primarily to mitigate the various risks incorporated in every transaction. For example, in the case of investors who share profits generated from a Joint Venture deal or a Merger and Acquisition deal or any other kind of deal, an escrow can help to protect the involved parties from default by any individual investor.
How does an Escrow Arrangement work?
After the establishment of a controlled revenue stream escrow, cash flow from a deal such as royalties, commissions or funds from franchise operations or any other kind of revenue resulting from a business deal, is delivered to the escrow agent, who then distributes the funds to the parties according to the agreed amounts and/or percentages as established in the contract. This type of escrow minimizes the possibility of misuse or misapplication of funds.
How can Parparinos Milonas Corporate and Legal Consultants assist you?
Parparinos Milonas Corporate and Legal Consultants can assist its clients by holding cash or any other assets or securities to ensure that the particular objectives and preconditions of a business deal are fully met and complied with. Cash deposits can be held in an escrow trust account, established by Parparinos Milonas Corporate and Legal Consultants for that particular reason, and which can be tailored according to your needs and requirements, thereby offering you peace of mind knowing that the escrow process is managed by trustworthy professionals in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
In general, an Agency Agreement is defined as a legal contract establishing a fiduciary relationship whereby the first party (called "the principal") agrees that the actions of a second party (called "the agent") bind the principal to later agreements made by the agent as if the principal had himself personally made the later agreements.
Parparinos Milonas Corporate and Legal Consultants strongly recommend that every Agency Agreement is made in writing. Also important is that both participants in such agreement get legal advice prior to its signing so as to avoid any potential misunderstanding or ambiguity in relation to the terms and conditions of such an agreement.
An Option Agreement can be defined as a right or privilege, which works as a continuing offer, given in exchange for consideration (something of value) in order to purchase or lease property or any kind of commodity or product at an agreed price and terms within a specified time.
Also, a common type of option agreement can be found within the real estate sector, where one party purchases the right to have the first chance of purchasing property at a specific price and at some time in the future.
The seller can state to the purchaser, "If you pay me €1,000.00 today, I agree to sell the Yacht called "Sea Royale" to you for €100,000.00 on the condition that you pay the €100,000.00 within forty five days." If the buyer pays the €1,000.00, a unilateral contract is established, and the offer is binding. The seller of the Yacht called "Sea Royale" is obliged to perform if the buyer pays the €100,000.00 within forty-five days.
Parparinos Milonas Corporate and Legal Consultants can produce such an agreement for you, which can be tailored to suit your needs. A detailed piece of document will be drafted, taking into consideration all relevant terms and conditions that must be included in such an agreement so as to allow you to complete your transaction smoothly and effectively.

The majority of circumstances that we face cause us to feel disenfranchised and alienated from God. The religious world has even tried to convince us that, if God was on your side, then He would not allow any bad things to come to us. This type of teaching leaves us constantly questioning if God is for us or not. The bible does not teach this. As a matter of fact, Jesus foretold to all of His disciples that If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. John 15:20.
The truth is bad things do happen to God's people. Times of persecution will come. In the world you shall have tribulation. The greatest concern though is; what is your attitude when you are in these types of circumstances. Do you find yourself questioning God's love for you? Do you question God's faithfulness? In times of tribulation, the devil has deceived many Christian people that God did not have their back; i.e., God had forsaken them. If Satan has whispered these thoughts in your mind, then if you give heed to them, it may not be long before your walk with God will be greatly hindered.
Don't allow the enemy to deceive you in times of trouble. The disciples could very well have been deceived during the storm that raged while at sea. Job could have falsely accused the Lord during his great trial. Joseph could have grown bitter toward the Lord when his brothers sold him or while he was in prison. We must understand that we have an enemy and he will attack us, but God is faithful unto us friend. Paul gave us great consolation with the fact that "All things" work together for the good to them that love God. Don't let the enemy's lies convince you that God does not care. Jesus cares for you!
If you're facing terrible opposition in your life today, like Paul and Silas, pray and sing praises unto God in your darkest hours. These apostles could worship God through the midnight hour because they knew that God was on their side. They did not charge the Lord for why they had been thrown in prison. They realized that the same God they had been faithful to in the good times would bring them through their hardest, darkest and deepest prisons. Tribulation did not deceive them. Don't let troubles deceive you.
Thank you brother, we have a challenge this very morning. Praying for a break-through from the Lord! I believe it's right on our horizon.

Chris M a posé une question le 8 avr.
Travelling here in May and we cant wait so excited highly recommended by a friend. Could you tell me we are travelling with a 14 yr old how much is tourist tax please.
Is this hotel any good for a two year old? Friend is getting married in sorento so we're looking for somewhere toddler friendly.
Is this hotel wheelchair friendly? Including getting into the hotel and around in it.
It's not really very wheelchair friendly, mainly because there's a very steep wheelchair ramp leading up to the lift. If your less able friend is small and light, you'd probably be okay! Once on the ground floor or at the lifts it's okay, wide doors and good flooring. The outdoor areas are flat and paved. There's a lift to the "beach" but steps down to it and steps onto the jetty when you get down there, so that's not really accessible. Hope this helps, sorry for the delay in answering.
