Federal Criminal Attorneys Explain Domestic Violence and Stalking
Domestic violence and stalking are considered to be very serious crimes and harsh penalties can result if you are convicted of either. In fact, mere accusations of domestic violence and stalking could affect your life by causing you to lose access to your family, home, and children – at least temporarily.
It is important that you understand the ins-and-outs of domestic violence laws so you can make fully informed choices about how to respond to accusations. One thing that may surprise you is that you can actually be charged with a federal crime for domestic violence or for stalking.
Federal and state offenses are treated differently, federal charges are typically much more serious, and you cannot control whether you are charged with a federal offense or a state offense.
Not every criminal defense lawyer is equipped to represent you if you have been accused of a federal offense, so it is important that you understand your rights and get an experienced attorney to advocate for you when you are charged with domestic violence or stalking on the federal level. You need an attorney who knows how federal prosecutors and investigators work and who can help you to navigate the criminal justice system as effectively as possible to protect your future.
LV Criminal Defense can help. Our dedicated and experienced legal team will work closely with you to fight against charges, do everything possible to defend your reputation and access to your family, and maximize the chances of a favorable outcome. We have a long and successful track record of helping clients to get acquitted or to get charges and penalties reduced and we know the laws ons talking and domestic violence inside-and-out.
To find out more about how our firm can help you when you have been charged with domestic violence and stalking, reach out to a compassionate and knowledgeable member of our legal team. If you need a federal defense lawyer in California, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, or surrounding areas and want LV Criminal Defense to be your advocate, give us a call today.
Federal Criminal Laws on Domestic Violence and Stalking
Federal criminal laws on domestic violence and stalking are found in 18 U.S. Code Chapter 110A. There are a total of eight statutes within this section addressing different issues related to federal offenses for intimate partner violence or stalking. These statutes include:
18 U.S. Code section 2261 – Interstate domestic violence: This statute defines the crime of interstate domestic violence as committing a crime or attempting to commit a crime of violence against an intimate partner while traveling in foreign commerce; while entering or leaving Indian Country; or while under the special jurisdiction of the United States. Causing the travel of a victim could also result in conviction. Penalties vary depending upon the effects of the violence. If the victim is killed, then the defendant could face a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, and if serious bodily injury results or the defendant uses a weapon, the defendant faces up to 10 years imprisonment. In other circumstances, a defendant could be imprisoned for five years.
18 U.S. Code section 2261A – Stalking: This statute imposes a punishment for traveling in interstate or foreign commerce; entering or leaving Indian County; or acting within any territorial jurisdiction of the United States to harass or intimidate a victim. To be convicted, a defendant would need to place the victim in reasonable fear of harm, or would need to attempt to do so.
18 U.S. Code section 2262 – Interstate violation of protection order: This statute imposes penalties for violating protective orders, or trying to violate protective orders, while traveling in interstate commerce or foreign commerce; while under the special jurisdiction of the U.S.; or while entering or leaving Indian Country. Penalties could include up to life imprisonment if the victim is killed; up to 10 years if a weapon is used or bodily injury results; and up to five years in other circumstances.
18 U.S. Code section 2263 – Pretrial release of defendant: This statute makes clear that in domestic violence proceedings, the victim should be given a chance to talk with the court about the danger the defendant presents before the defendant is released.
18 U.S. Code section 2264 – Restitution: This statute addresses when a defendant would be required to make restitution to a victim.
18 U.S. Code section 2265 – Full faith and credit given to protection orders. This law makes clear that lawfully issued protective orders from other jurisdictions should be enforced.
18 U.S. Code section 2265A – Repeat offenders: According to the relevant statute, a defendant convicted of specified domestic violence events could face double the penalties specified under the chapter if the defendant had a prior conviction.
18 U.S. Code section 2266 – Definitions: This statute sets forth the definitions of words used in the rest of the statute.

The DOSSIER VI deals with documentary evidence at the heart of the arbitral process. Arbitrators are increasingly confronted with new challenges, such as requests for E-Discovery, as well as ever more frequent objections to confidentiality and privilege. Document production may also confront arbitrators with difficult issues of fraud and forgery. Further, this DOSSIER VI may aid Arbitral tribunals that have to decide which rules apply to issues such as the evidentiary value of documents or their admissibility.
With the practice of documentary evidence changing, international arbitrators look for transnational solutions capable of executing a proper balance between efficiency and fairness. Transnational instruments such as the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration may need to evolve to accommodate these new improved approaches and solutions.
This Dossier of the ICC Institute of World Business Law seeks to encourage reflection on future practice in relation to documentary evidence in international arbitration. With the publication of Dossier VI, Written Evidence and Discovery in International Arbitration, the ICC Institute of World Business Law fulfills its dual mission: training and acting as a think-tank for the International Chamber of Commerce particularly in the field of arbitration.

The garden of local architect, Peter Sutton, and his sculptor wife Jilly, stretches idyllically down to the edges of the River Dart, just upstream of Dittisham. There, against a narrow finger pontoon sit two classic wooden motor launches – the first, a 1937 Chris Craft, the classic American motor launch most often used on the USA lakes and, the second, an original Venetian Taxi, the traditional motor boat used for VIP transport and high end taxi services around the canals of Venice.
Peter's love of boats stretches back to his childhood and is the reason he lives where he does. But modern boats are not for him - instead craft that have a history or a recognizable magic. A 1936 Olympic single-handed wooden sailing dinghy sits proudly between the boatsheds. There's even a 1978 Russian hydrofoil made of aluminium requiring restoration, not the best boat, Peter admits, for the River Dart!
Other than for a couple of hours either side of high tide, Peter's motor boats sit comfortably and softly on the mud. But on all good high tides, Peter and friends make the choice to cruise the river in one or other craft especially when there's a chance to enjoy a bottle of wine and picnic in some style.
It was typically a visit to Venice that aroused his passion for the water taxi. He had searched for some years to find one in the right condition and at the right price. He eventually found his boat 8 years ago on Lake Como in Italy to where she had been shipped from Venice.
Built in 1983, she was originally called 'Lady' as Margaret Thatcher had once travelled in her but Peter quickly changed her name to 'Serenella', after the boatyard in which she was built, to better suit her Italian heritage (meaning 'Lilac'). Shipped back to Totnes by train and lorry from Italy, 'Serenella' has been slowly restored with some major restoration work undertaken this year by local shipwright Simon Beer (see opposite).
Simon has expertly restored the rear deck's coamings and covering boards, rebuilt or replaced deck beams and engine lids and replaced the stern's beautiful holly inlaid deck. Peter is full of praise for Simon's skills as a craftsman.
Although he leaves the hard stuff to the experts, Peter is never happier when, armed with a mug of coffee, he's applying say a coat of varnish early on a Sunday morning – and on these boats, there's a lot of that always to be done!
Approximately 30 ft in length and displacing 3 tonnes, 'Seronella" can travel at 25 knots. Powered economically by a large Iveco diesel, a Fiat lorry engine, she travels comfortably and majestically through the water and her deep wake is perfect for Peter's children to water-ski behind.
A bit vulnerable in rough seas, she's able, however, with her ample power to plough through the waves. These boats are very rare in this country and indeed are quite unique, as they were constructed specifically for Venetian water transport.
Peter's example was built at the Serenella yard in Murano near where the famous glass is made. Still being built today, Peter considers them as possibly as good a build as the famous Riva, the 'Rolls Royce' of motor launches.
Peter has owned the Chris Craft for 15 years and she languished for some years in a barn in an awful state. With the help of boat-building neighbour, Barney Bucke, it's been a long restoration job but an enquiry to the US Maritime Museum yielded a full set of the original drawings.
She's powered by a 1960 V8 Chevrolet petrol engine (it came originally with a really small engine) with a straight through exhaust. The restored engine was bought unseen from the USA over the phone, paid by credit card, but works beautifully.
It would be good enough to own just one of these boats – to own two, is just downright greedy! But what pleasure they give.


It is our mission to help homeowners understand their homeowners rights, property rights and home buyer rights by introducing them to attorneys who specializes in real estate laws and are willing and able to assist homeowners and home buyers in protecting their rights in transactions involving their homes.
If you need such assistance, simply fill out the form below and a real estate lawyer will contact you to discuss your situation.
Buying a home is a colossal expense and it is very important that people understand and protect their homeowners rights, property rights and home buyer rights in every situation or transaction that might affect the stability of owning a house and the expenses associated with purchasing or owning real estate.
There are many laws to apply to real estate and transactions involving real estate including real estate laws, property laws, contract law, consumer laws, credit laws, and so forth. A licensed real estate attorney is able to review all applicable laws in giving advice about real estate transactions in order to protect your homeowners rights, home buyer rights and property rights. They also can help homeowners to make sure that the deeding and titling is correct that you can be secure in your ownership.
Basically homeowners rights refer to your right as homeowner to enjoy your home as you see fit. However, from time to time, laws such as building codes and zoning can infer with homeowners rights as well as complaints from your neighbors that may evoke law enforcement or building inspectors to seemingly harass you at your home seemingly infringing on your homeowners rights. Then of course, there are easements and ordinances on noise as so forth that seem to disregard your homeowners rights.
Many homeowners have problems with trespassers and sometimes their easement to their property is blocked by road construction or partiers from a neighbor's house. On top of these seemly frivolous activities, sometimes homeowners rights are threatened by lack of utilities or due to water rights.
Homeowners rights and responsibilities also come into action when you own a home and you are renting or leasing it. If you leave the home vacant, it is possible that someone can move into it and file for adverse possession which actually threatens your ownership of the property.
Homeowners rights are often violated during attempted foreclosures that don't take into consideration the rights of a homeowner or the laws that guaranty them.
This list of violations could go on and on; however, if you feel that your homeowners rights are being trampled on, it is advisable to consult with a real estate attorney to see what your options are and how you can legally take care of the matter at hand.
Home buyers rights are better defined than home owners rights. When you are buying a house, there are several disclosures that are required by federal law, especially in financing transactions.
Basically, as a home buyer, your home buyer rights include the right to equal opportunity in buying a house. The seller cannot refuse to sell you a property that you can afford because of your race, national origin, religion, gender, handicap or disability, or because of your marital status and the fact that have or don't have kids.
You should be informed early on in the transaction of what it cost you to get a loan to finance a house including estimated closing and settlement costs and upon closure you should be informed, in writing, how all of the money was distributed as well as the interest rate and terms of the loan. Your home buyers rights also protect you against predatory lending in the court of law if you are subjected illegal terms in financing the purchase of a house.
If you own property and you feel that your property rights are being violated, by all means, consult with a real estate lawyer. As the owner of a property, you have the right to determine how the property will be used. Basically, your property rights include right use the land or property structures, the right to rent it, sell it or to transfer it. You even have the right to destroy your property or to protect the property from being destroyed by others.
From time to time, people feel that their property rights are being violated and they don't know what do about it. In such a case, it is advisable to discuss the situation before you with a real estate attorney. A lawyer can delve into the history of a property to find out if there are any restrictions or covenants that existed before you purchased the property and whether or not they are valid by law.
Most attorneys will discuss your situation and inform you upfront whether you have a good case or not if you feel that your homeowners rights, property rights or home buyers rights have been violated.
If you are in the process of buying a home, it is best to consult with an attorney before you make any commitment to buying the property or financing the transaction. It is also a great idea to have an attorney who is working for you to review real estate contracts and agreements before you sign them. Most real estate lawyers will encourage you to buy title insurance, even if it is not required by the lender in order to secure your interest in the property.
Overall, when it comes to buying a home or owning a home, it is up to you to ensure that your homeowners rights, property rights and home buyer rights are protected. The only way that you can be comfortable in your decisions for protecting these rights is to consult with an attorney that deals with them every day and knows the law like the back of their hand.
Take the step today to ensure that your homeowner rights, property rights and home buyers rights are protected by engaging a lawyer who strives to help homeowners understand their homeowners rights.

Serbian Ambassador to Russia: NATO Supports Radical Islamists in Kosovo and Bosnia
in ENGLISH, TE FUNDIT
Serbia's Ambassador to Russia Slavenko Terzic said that NATO implemented the policy of destabilization of the Balkans and that the Alliance was not a guarantee of stability in the region.
"The last 30 years have shown that the Alliance supports some very dangerous projects such as for example [nationalist project] Greater Albania, which destabilizes the entire Balkans. One more example of such conduct is support of the radical Islamists, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Kosovo", Terzic said to the Moscow daily Izvestija, as quoted by Tanjug news agency.
Terzic's four-year mandate expired in 2017, but he continues to serve as the ambassador to Moscow. Because of disorganization of the Serbian diplomacy in recent years, it is not uncommon that appointments of new ambassadors are delayed and therefore those who are currently in office remain in foreign countries longer than usual.

This weekend you have the opportunity to play your part in helping Sharks while visiting your favourite fashion outlets in Malta.
The answer is simple, by taking a trip to The Point shopping centre, Tigne' Point, Sliema on Saturday 21 October and visiting level -2 and level -3 where you will find Sharklab-Malta and fellow Shark Alliance members Greenhouse and Nature Trust holding a full day shark awareness activity.
Sharks are facing massive problems globally and especially in the Mediterranean from the problems of overfishing and the huge demand for fins to feed the Asian demand for "sharkfin soup". The barbaric act of finning (the removal of the sharks fins while the shark is still alive and then thrown back to the water to drown) does not occur in Maltese waters but is a common practise throughout many European fleets and is having a catastrophic effect on populations of many species. This year as part of European Shark Week you can add your name to the petition to make your voice heard that it is time for change.
Your voice can make a difference to the survival of many species of Sharks, some of which used to call the waters around Malta home and are now facing crisis point within the Mediterranean.
By visiting the event this Saturday you be able to not only sign the petition (also online here), but also have the opportunity to learn the real facts about sharks. Contrary to popular belief the probability of encountering a shark around the Maltese Islands is almost zero, although we know and have evidence that 36 different species have inhabited or travelled through our waters, most of these have not been sighted for many years. The majority of species which still inhabit our waters are less than a metre in length and live at depths greater than 50 metres. Larger species are a rarity and although occasional sightings are reported they are often difficult to verify.
Sharks are an essential component to the balance of the marine ecosystem and by removing them at the rate we are is only going to have major negative effects. Control of the marine ecosystem is a role they have been playing out for the last 460 million years, yet in the last 30 years there numbers have spiralled down. Blue Sharks were once a common sight all over the Mediterranean, including around Malta and their numbers in the last 10 years have dropped 90%. If we do not step up and begin to be responsible for the oceans and seas, then the situation is only going to get worse. We need sharks to maintain balance.
When it comes to eating sharks, many people in Malta include shark within their normal diet. Shark can regularly be purchased from the high-street fish van or the local supermarket. "Mazzola" is commonly sold and the name is generically used to describe 7 different species of sharks. Unfortunately, some of these species are endangered and face the real possibility of not being there much longer in our waters, but as they are simply sold as "Mazzola" how can you tell which is endangered and which is not? And did you know that "Mazzola" is shark anyway?
So when it comes to awareness and making a difference here in Malta. We have to start with ourselves, we need to understand the importance of sharks and the roles they play in keeping the marine eco-systems balanced. If we do not care for our waters, by promoting better management and enforcing protection where needed, then we will see many species simply disappear.
We cannot let that happen, human beings caused this situation but we can turn it around, through education and action we can all play our part in not only the survival of sharks, but in making the balance within the seas as it should be.
So, play your part, make your voice heard and come see us at The Point', sign your name and learn a little about what is under the surface of our magnificent waters.
Greg Nowell is Founder of Sharklab-Malta, a registered NGO in Malta and non-profit voluntary organisation dedicated to research, education and raising greater awareness about all Elasmobranch (Sharks, Rays, Skates and Chimaeras) around Malta and within the Mediterranean.

Q: rails -v errors when setting up rvm I am trying to set up an environment as per this tutorial http://railstutorial.org/book#sec:1.2.2.3 however I get the below error when running 'rails -v'

Has anyone had this before?

A: Incase anyone else has this problem and the marked answer doesn't solve it, here is what fixed it for me:
Don't use sudo.

*

*"When you do sudo you are running
commands as root, another user in
another shell and hence all of the
setup that RVM has done for you is
ignored while the command runs under
sudo (such things as GEM_HOME,
etc...). So to reiterate, as soon as
you 'sudo' you are running as the
root system user which will clear out
your environment as well as any files
it creates are not able to be
modified by your user and will result
in strange things happening. (You
will start to think that someone has
a voodoo doll of your
application...)"

Taken from here

A: resolved by running "rvm gemset update"

Bikes are always ridden by people braving the conditions to survey their surroundings, challenge mother nature, and get work done. We're gathering photos and videos from Sandy on a new Tumblr. Those include a ride through a flooded street with FDNY cheering and this funny Dutch Bike CNN photobomb.
As the bike industry saying goes, "Bicycles are like the cockroaches of transportation in natural disasters." Last year in Portland, Transport Land staged disaster response drills with cargo bikes. In Japan after the Tsunami bike boom, people are still riding their bikes. Earlier this year, we learned that the once-lowly bike is popular in countries like Greece facing austerity measures after the debt crisis.
That all you got, Storm?
I've ridden in all kinds of weather and posted about in 07. I compared the decisions to ride to that scene in Forrest Gump with Lieutenant Dan and the storm. I've foolhardily challenged the winds, rain, and snow to throw more at me. You call that a storm with your golfball-sized hail? Pffft my wife throws ice cubes at me when I'm on the trainer at home!
You do the same? When I see the photos and videos of cyclists riding a hurricane, I know if that storm hit here, I'd do exactly the same thing.

"We have been overwhelmed with the love and support felt and received over the last few weeks from our "family" of Ellon Parish Church. God's love in action. Thank you."
The first time ever (or after some time away) at a church can seem daunting. That's why we have put together some information so that you know what to expect at Ellon Parish Church, and what to do if you are thinking about joining us in some way.
Ellon Parish Church is a vibrant, active, and engaged Christian community. We come together to worship and to live in fellowship with our faith and the people around us. Our primary goal is to be disciples of Jesus Christ and as such we are called to create and develop Christian community so our journeys in faith and life are not undertaken alone.
While our worship services remain the primary focus of our community we recognize the potential barriers some people have to attending whether this is work, sports, or maybe you don't yet feel comfortable coming to a worship service and feel called to participate in a different way. There are many events running throughout the year for people of all ages within the church and community. So no matter your age, whether you are single, a couple, with or without kids, there is something for you at Ellon Parish Church.
Check out our calendar, or our social media accounts to keep up to date with everything that is going on. Pick up a the Bridge Magazine or our parish newsletter which has more information, we also have a mailing list which can keep you up to date and allow you to receive the magazine and newsletter by email!
As with everything else in Ellon Parish Church please get in touch if you have any questions or concerns, we will always try our best to help in whatever way we can.
At all of our worship services you will be greeted with a smile and a welcome from one of our welcome team. They are the first point of contact and can answer any questions you have.
They can help you find a seat, someone to sit with, someone to talk to, or any information you need about our service or our community.
If you would prefer to speak in a more private setting there is a welcome station at the back of the church dedicated to welcoming guests, they can also provide you with support, information, a buddy to sit with, and any help that you might need or want.
There is no such thing as a bad question so please feel free to ask for or about anything and we will try our best to help in whatever way we can.
There are no assigned seats, and nothing is reserved for members, you are welcome, and encouraged to participate in whatever way you feel comfortable.
There is no dress code; we always value comfort over style.
The doors of the church will be open 30 minutes before services begin. You can come any time.

This integration monitors [Pivotal Container Service][1] clusters.

## Setup

Since Datadog already integrates with Kubernetes, it is ready-made to monitor Pivotal Kubernetes Service (PKS). You can use the Datadog [Cluster Monitoring tile][7] along with this integration to monitor your cluster.

Install the Datadog Agent on each non-worker VM in your PKS environment. In environments without Pivotal Application Service (PAS) installed, select the `Resource Config` section of the tile and set `instances` of the `datadog-firehose-nozzle` to `0`.

### Metric collection

Monitoring PKS requires that you set up the Datadog integration for [Kubernetes][2].

### Log collection

_Available for Agent versions >6.0_

The setup is exactly the same as for Kubernetes.
To start collecting logs from all your containers, use your Datadog Agent [environment variables][3].

You can also take advantage of DaemonSets to [automatically deploy the Datadog Agent on all your nodes][4].

Follow the [container log collection steps][5] to learn more about those environment variables and discover more advanced setup options.

## Troubleshooting

Need help? Contact [Datadog support][6].

Wednesday Media Transcript: WR Sterling Shepard
Eric from BBI : Admin : 11/8/2017 4:36 pm
WR Sterling Shepard
Q: Do you take it one game at a time? You have to execute better as a football team.
A: Yeah, you do. But, looking ahead is not going to get you anywhere. So, like I said, you have to take it one game at a time. Be in the moment at practice and execute there first.
Q: Is this locker room together in your mind or are you starting to see guys go different ways?
A: No. I mean, everybody is sticking together. We know that we�re all each other has. I feel like everybody is still sticking together.
Q: The team is taking a lot of criticism at 1-7, especially the quarterback. Have you seen a difference in QB Eli Manning this year when it comes to level of play?
A: No. I mean, he�s remained the same on and off the field and he�s our quarterback. We�re sticking behind him. We know that he�s going to take a lot of the heat. That�s what every quarterback does in the league. It�s going to happen to them. So, we just have to let him know we�re behind him and keep pushing with him.
Q: The 49ers are one-point favorites but they�re winless. Does that give you guys any extra motivation?
A: I can�t say that we pay attention to any of that. I didn�t even know that. So, we just got to come out and execute and play the Giants football that we know we�re capable of playing. So, that goes back to what I was saying � just taking it a moment at a time and taking it a game at a time.
I don�t understand
FThomas : 11/8/2017 7:00 pm : link
When players say �they didn�t know that�. Like, what the hell are you guys talking about then? How is that in some way shape or form motivation, or at least something mentioned when talking about your opponent all week?
RE: I don�t understand
Dan in the Springs : 11/8/2017 7:11 pm : link
In comment 13682853 FThomas said:
I don't know - I took it that he didn't know SF was favored by a point. Why should he know that? How does the betting line help them prepare. To what end should they study it?
Of course, if he didn't know they were winless that's altogether different, but I don't think that's the case.
Yeah not so much the one point
But the �favored to win� in general. Maybe I�m reading too much into it but it seems something like �this winless team is being projected by experts to beat us� could be used at motivation I would think.


As we sat in a small, bare-brick café on Arab Street, Mr Q recounted the same words he had said to me on the day we first met, which was an anomaly in itself.
On a late afternoon in late January, I was walking through an art fair in the colossal convention centre beneath the Marina Bay Sands, the most famous icon of Singapore's skyline. The term 'art fair' is quite an understatement, because Art Stage was a contemporary art showcase so large that had I barely made a dent after four hours. Slightly lost and wandering between two metre high sculptures of who-knows-what, I turned the corner and immediately saw him.
I thought our meeting was a fantastic coincidence, but in retrospect I think it was completely inevitable. Not only were we the only black people in a myriad Asian faces, but we are both very tall (or rather one of us is very tall and the other was wearing heels), which made it almost impossible not to notice each other. Dressed in finely tailored clothes and sporting a wide-brimmed panama hat, Mr Q looked like he belonged more so than anyone else, a manner I have come to realise that he exudes in every situation.
To most people, Mr Q is an enigma. The combination of his sartorial flair, his subtle British cadences, and his unmistakably Ndebele name and appearance, is comforting to me but confounding to others. Despite being one of the few people in Singapore who can actually pronounce his full name, I find myself compelled to exclusively address him as 'Mr Q.' This is partly out of traditional respect, for although he is my friend, he is also my senior. However, it is mostly because anyone who has ever had the pleasure of meeting him can attest to the fact that the name is so quintessential to him.
Living in Singapore has cultivated an overwhelming excitement in me every time I spot another black person, let alone someone from the same country. I'd like to think that when we first met I contained my excitement, that I was cool and nonchalant, but I'm sure Mr Q would say otherwise. Sitting across from him in the café six months after our first meeting, I was enthralled as he recounted the story of his upbringing.
Nqabeni Butholezwe Msimanga was born in Zimbabwe, but emigrated to England at the age of thirteen, resulting in the melodic 'British-ish' accent familiar to us Zimbabwean émigrés. In his earlier years, he was raised by his grandfather, a man whose sensibilities were shaped by British ideals in colonial Rhodesia. "My grandfather is the reason I became obsessed with tailoring. As a kid, I would see him in the most refined clothing," he mused as he instinctively adjusted his oat-coloured hat.
Mr Q slid his business card across the table for me to see the intricately drawn bird. We were only a few blocks down from his loft-office, in which he runs The Prefecture, a bespoke menswear label with an extremely loyal and enthusiastic customer base. The name was inspired by his time as a Prefect in secondary school, and epitomises his crisp signature style.


Influenced greatly by his father and grandfather, Edgar Loudermilk cut his teeth on bluegrass by learning to play bass to the legendary record, "Bluegrass Album Band Volume 1" record. Surrounded by music at an early age, he was only nine when he began playing bass in his family's band, Loudermilk was also exposed to the great music of some of his famous relatives, The Louvin Brothers. He continued to play in his family's band until he was 20 years oldwhen he joined a group called Carolina Crossfire. The band had quite a following in the Georgia area and it wasn't long before he decided to expand his options and try his hand at playing professionally, a decision that has made him a staple for elite artists in bluegrass music. In 2001, Loudermilk auditioned for, and was hired by Rhonda Vincent. About a year later, he was encouraged to audition for one of the greatest voices in country music who he had heard was making a move to bluegrass. In December of that year, Loudermilk became the bass player and tenor singer in the newly formed group Full Circle and would back up Marty Raybon for almost five years.
Edgar's solo album, Roads Travelled, not only showcases his vocal talents and his solid bass playing, but also his songwriting skills, having written or co-written each of the 12 tracks on the project. In addition, he calls on the talents of his musician friends and bosses, former and current, as well. Accompanied by Tim Crouch; fiddle, Randy Kohrs; Dobro, Scott Haas; banjo and former Full Circle bandmates Ashby Frank; mandolin and Shane Blackwell; guitar, the musicianship on the CD is second to none. Guest vocalists include Marty Raybon, (duet on "Roads Travelled"),Cia Cherryholmes (duet on "It Just Might"), Rhonda Vincent (duet on "Can't Live Life"), Russell Moore, Randy Kohrs and another former Full Circle band-mate, Glenn Harrell.
Edgar also wrote all 15 songs on on his October 2013 Mountain Fever Records' release, My Big Chance Tomorrow. The album appeared on numerous radio charts and also appeared on the Roots Music Report's Top 100 Bluegrass Albums of 2014 chart. His strong, confident bass playing, and vocal prowess is the foundation for this solid record.
In November 2013, Edgar joined Dave Adkins to form the new duo, Adkins & Loudermilk. Mountain Fever Records released their debut album on March 17, 2015 and since that time, the album has hit numerous Album and Singles charts including "Georgia Mountain Man" which Edgar wrote about his Grandfather.
On the trail on the highly successful A&L album, Edgar has struck out on his own with a solo project that he is very excited about. He is working with a new band called Edgar Loudermilk Band, Featuring Jeff Autry, and although the band name may be new, all of the members have played together for quite some time and have quite a chemistry and stage dynamic. Edgar's former A&L bandmates, Jeff Autry (featured guitar player), Glen Crain (dobro) and Zack Autry (mandolin), complete his current band. They have just finished recording Edgar's next album, titled "Georgia Maple" due out in July 2016, along with banjo picker, Chris Wade and are booked solid all over the United States and Canada throughout the remainder of 2016.
Look for these boys out on the road in 2016 and 2017, they won't be hard to find with their busy tour schedule coast to coast!

Woman Writer Su Qin has caused outrage by saying -- in her newest book -- that the marriage certificate as it stands is not fair (to women); and, that marriage should be recognized on the basis of a contract.
Su believes that the current marriage system is problematic and the marriage that lasts a lifetime is no longer suited to present-day society. Many women would rather drag themselves through the agony of a marriage than choose to divorce for fear of being blamed by others as a "remarried woman".
However, is Su right in believing what she holds to be true for all married women? Not really.
Our laws on family and marriage clearly rule that marriage is a free choice for people and so is divorce. Women are not forced to keep an already miserable marriage going for life. Therefore, it's ridiculous to claim that women suffer from the yoke of an indissoluble lifelong marriage.
Statistics show that of late more women than men chose to end marriages. For example, among the 300 divorce cases accepted by a local court in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, 87 percent were moved by women. Similarly, 74 percent of the divorce cases in Beijing were sought by women, according to a survey.
It's clear that Su underestimates the capacity of women to bravely face divorce and live a decent life thereafter.
Yet Su must have had her reasons for the sensational criticism of China's marriage system. One reason may be that it's a shortcut to overnight fame as many so-called intellectuals disregard social reality and tend to speak whatever they believe can make headlines.

SDUSD Should Lease Armored Vehicle, Add Patrol Cars: Trustee
One school board member proposed leasing the armored vehicle to local police and using the money to fund new school police cars
By Sherene Tagharobi and R. Stickney • Published September 11, 2014 • Updated on September 11, 2014 at 6:07 pm
A San Diego Unified School Board trustee said Thursday he considers the district's acquisition of an armored vehicle a "misguided priority."
School Board Trustee Scott Barnett said the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle is not something the district should have in its fleet.
"We're a school district, we're about education," he said.
"Yes we do need to protect our kids but I believe this vehicle - armred vehicle - is misguided and does not represent what the district wants to put out there as the symbol of our district."
SDUSD accepted the $710,000 MRAP as part of a program to distribute vehicles left over after withdrawals from Afghanistan and Iraq. The only cost would be shipping the vehicle from Texas to San Diego (estimated to be $1,000 to $4,700).
According to an internal memo sent to SDUSD Superintendent Cindy Marten from the district's police chief, cost of maintaining the School Police Student Rescue Vehicle would range from $500 to $1,000 annually.
The second largest school district in the state of California has a fleet of approximately 1,000 vehicles ranging from school buses to maintenance and delivery trucks.
According to Barnett, SDUSD has no plan for replacing its aging vehicles including 10 of the district's police cruisers that each has over 130,000 miles.

Through the grant, SDUSD cannot sell the MRAP but Barnett proposed leasing the armored vehicle to local police and using the money to fund new school police cars.
San Diego Unified School Police Chief Rueben Littlejohn says leasing the MRAP to other law enforcement agencies would counteract the benefit of owning it.
"In an active shooter situation this vehicle, which is bulletproof, would be backed up to a classroom door as close as possible and officers would usher students and teachers into the vehicle and get them out of harm's way as quickly as possible," Chief Littlejohn said.
He believes if school police had to wait for its arrival, it would not be useful in an emergency situation.
Barnett said the plan to accept the MRAP was not discussed with the board or listed on a board agenda. He said he first learned of the plan through a post on Facebook.
"This is an issue that the school board would have been interested in at least knowing about and, I believe, discussing and determining whether or not this is something we want in our fleet," Barnett said.
In his opinion, the district should have waited to accept the grant until school officials had the chance to see results of a two-year review of the district's security needs. That report is scheduled to be released Sept. 23.

\section{Introduction}
\noindent\textbf{1.$\;$Introduction}.
Perturbation theory in quantum chromodynamics [QCD] is applicable to hard exclusive processes; and for almost forty years the leading-order factorised result for the electromagnetic form factor of a pseudoscalar meson has excited experimental and theoretical interest.  Namely \cite{Farrar:1979aw, Lepage:1979zb, Efremov:1979qk, Lepage:1980fj}, $\exists \, Q_0>\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ such that
\begin{equation}
\label{EqHardScattering}
Q^2 F_{0^-}(Q^2) \stackrel{Q^2 > Q_0^2}{\approx} 16 \pi \alpha_s(Q^2)  f_{0^-}^2 \mathpzc{w}_{0^-}^2(Q^2),
\end{equation}
where: $f_{0^-}$ is the meson's leptonic decay constant; $\alpha_s(Q^2) $ is the leading-order strong running-coupling

What do you love most about your work? I love meeting so many creative, thoughtful and inspiring people every day and hearing their stories. I love sharing my love for Judaism with them.
How is Judaism valuable in your life? Judaism is language with its own grammar, syntax and vocabulary and like all languages, it shapes the thoughts, ideas and modes of expression of those who speak it. In this way, I use this language, Judaism, to make sense of the world and my place in it. My decision to become a rabbi was, in part, about curiosity: I wanted to understand this language with greater sophistication and perhaps, thereby, understand myself and the world better too. At the same time, I became a rabbi because I wanted to share my enthusiasm and wonder for for this language with others too.
