The Second Time Around!
The Puzzling Truth
Tips and Tales About Taking Another Chance on Love and Marriage
By Amy Meadows
Frank Sinatra was really onto something when he crooned the beloved 1960 tune "The Second Time Around." With lyrics like "Love is lovelier the second time around" and "Love's more comfortable the second time you fall," he says what so many people feel when they find love again and feel ready to take another chance on a walk down the aisle. Of course, there's so much to consider before making that kind of commitment, and it's important to know what goes into having a successful second marriage. Here, the experts share their advice for turning a new chance at love into something that lasts a lifetime.
"Second marriages are challenging and face complexity," says Lisa Pope Campbell, MSW, LCSW, owner of Northeast Georgia Counseling. "You've learned that marriage isn't easy, and now you must learn that experience alone won't divorce-proof your marriage." That's why it's key to recognize how a second marriage will be different from a first marriage and take all of those elements into consideration as you move forward. There are certain steps that you will need to take to ensure that you are not only prepared to get married again, but also that you are ready to be a fully engaged spouse. Because according to Shatavia A. Thomas, DMFT, LMFT, owner of Buckhead's Dr. Shay Speaks, LLC, "Second marriages are about learning how to be a better you with someone new."
Learn from the Past
Moving on is never easy. And moving on from a marriage—whether it lasted a few months or many years—can be quite challenging. However, you can take comfort in the fact that your experience with your first marriage actually can pave the way to a happy and fulfilling second union.
"Just because your first marriage ended doesn't mean it was a failure," observes Crystal Bradshaw, MA, LPC, NCC, Gottman 7 Principles Educator and couples therapist with Synergy Counseling Innovations, LLC. "A lot of marriages create families. Is that a failure? A lot of marriages create friendships and businesses. Are those failures? No." In fact, Campbell believes that people should look at divorce as a sign of personal strength instead of failure, as it takes courage to walk away from a relationship that is not working. It also takes great fortitude to examine the reasons that first relationship fell apart and what can be learned from that experience.
"Some people learn about themselves, including what's negotiable or non-negotiable and their stance on unexpected variables such as friends, in-laws and the preferred balance of individual and couple time," Thomas says of first marriages. In many cases, the issues that contributed to the end of that first relationship—whether they involved a lack of intimacy or sex, financial disagreements, differing parenting styles or diverging values—can't or won't be recognized until after it has ended. But then there is enlightenment about the role each party played in that situation. "People typically can tell you about the red flags they overlooked in their first marriage, what they are not willing to endure the second time around and what kind of partner they want next time. They are better at identifying what they want from a relationship and what qualities they are looking for in a partner. They can use that information as they embark on their next relationship," Bradshaw says. "Learn from your past so you don't repeat it. Recognize how you may have contributed to the deterioration of the relationship, own your part (no matter how small or big) and vow to be an active participant in your next relationship."
Take a Time Out
Thinking about "getting out there" again can be both exciting and frightening. That's why experts suggest that an individual take some time before taking the plunge again. "Take time to get to know yourself after a breakup," says Julie Trujillo, MA, LPC, of Northeast Georgia Counseling. "Allow yourself to grieve the losses associated with ending a relationship instead of attempting to avoid the pain. Being able to tolerate uncomfortable feelings is a useful skill that can be developed through practicing mindfulness. By rushing into another relationship, dysfunction is likely to resurface." What's more, by taking that time, you will be able to reflect fully on your first marriage and really find those lessons from the past that will benefit you moving forward as you consider a second marriage.
Gordon Shippey, MA, LPC, of Northeast Georgia Counseling, agrees. "Take time to be a healthy individual before starting a new relationship," he says. "Prioritize functioning well by yourself, then build a social network outside of romantic attraction. Make sure you've extracted all the lessons you can from the previous marriage before trying again."
Find Your Second Time Around
When you are ready to find that special someone, you shouldn't necessarily look for romance immediately. "Instead, look for friendship and shared interests and values," Bradshaw remarks. "Connect with someone on this level and then evaluate if it's a good fit. Do you balance each other? See how it naturally evolves." By focusing on your own hobbies and interests, you will find like-minded individuals who could possibly be Mr. or Ms. Right. "If you enjoy cooking, take cooking classes. If you enjoy a particular activity, then seek out classes or meet-up groups. This is a good way to meet others with similar interests," Bradshaw continues. "The more people you meet, the more opportunities you have of meeting someone who's a good fit."
Of course, there's always that well-meaning friend who wants to set you up. And, as Shippey notes, "Dating has moved online. Most relationships are now found online, and the quality of relationships started online is at least as good as those found offline." When approached cautiously and with great thought, any of these options could be ideal avenues for finding love once again.
Prep for the Plunge
A second marriage is a completely different proposition than a first marriage. That's because there are different factors involved when you are entering a second long-term relationship. "Recognize that remarriage means bigger, more complex challenges than first marriages, such as raising stepchildren, combining finances and households, feeling disappointments yet trying to love again and the aggravation of dealing with ex-spouses," Campbell says. However, she adds, you can use your fear of these issues to be more intentional in your effort to build a stronger bond with your new spouse. You also have to learn how to communicate openly about all of the issues you will face as a new couple.
"I recommend people go to premarital counseling with a therapist who is trained in couple dynamics," Bradshaw reveals. "There are so many issues that couples don't realize they need to dialogue about, assuming their partner shares their beliefs, values, expectations and have the same life-shaping experiences." However, a trained couples counselor can help those entering into a second marriage—or even those who have already married—have open and honest discussions about everything from finances and parenting to sex and fidelity. What's more, Bradshaw suggests that couples take their efforts even deeper by reading about how to have a successful marriage. She recommends The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work and Why Marriages Succeed or Fail…and How You Can Make Yours Last by Dr. John M. Gottman, as well as books by Dr. Sue Johnson, Esther Perel and Terry Real.
Again, knowing yourself and how your first marriage has affected you will be a significant factor in the success of your second marriage. "Some people may go into the next relationship with a 'deal breaker' attitude. Similarly, some people may be set in their ways and have a 'me' instead of a 'we' disposition," Thomas warns. Therefore, she says, you have to "explore your personal triggers," as well as the impact your personality and communication and conflict styles will have on your relationship. A couple's therapist can help you and your partner navigate these issues and find the right resolutions.
"If you have concerns, talk them out before tying the knot. Problems that exist before marriage will be the same, if not worse, after marriage. Work on them before committing," Shippey says. "A counselor can help you do these things and give you a clearer perspective on your relationship."
And in the end, be sure that you understand what marriage really involves. "A lot of couples don't realize that a marriage has to be intentional, meaning you have to put in the work daily. And sometimes that may mean having a hard conversation, compromising on something, facing your flaws and taking accountability for your needs, wants and mistakes. It also means respecting and appreciating your spouse," Bradshaw says.
You must be fully invested in making a second marriage work—but the rewards will be worth it. As Campbell concludes, "By resolving to work at this marriage differently and learning from your past, remarriages can be stronger than you ever envisioned."

InfoTécnica
The mountain lies 40 km (25 mi) north of Kahta, near Adıyaman. In 62 BC, King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene built on the mountain top a tomb-sanctuary flanked by huge statues (8–9 m/26–30 ft high) of himself, two lions, two eagles and various Greek, Armenian, and Iranian gods, such as Hercules-Vahagn, Zeus-Aramazd or Oromasdes (associated with the Iranic god Ahura Mazda), Tyche, and Apollo-Mithras. These statues were once seated, with names of each god inscribed on them. The heads of the statues have at some stage been removed from their bodies, and they are now scattered throughout the site.
The pattern of damage to the heads (notably to noses) suggests that they were deliberately damaged because of belief in iconoclasm. The statues have not been restored to their original positions. The site also preserves stone slabs with bas-relief figures that are thought to have formed a large frieze. These slabs display the ancestors of Antiochus, who included both Greek and Persians.

During the fall and spring seasons, members participate in monthly "open houses" when we, and visitors, spend a weekend hiking, exploring, and just plain enjoying the sanctuary. Many camp, though the camp sites are primitive.
Members are eligible to obtain the combination to the gate after undergoing orientation at the sanctuary. With gate access, members can enjoy the sanctuary at any time.
The shelter contains an extensive collection of reference books and field guides including those of the Richard L. Brister Memorial Library.
Besides volunteers, It takes money to pay taxes and maintain the equipment and facilities. Please consider a tax deductible donation. Make checks payable to ONC Sanctuary Fund and mail to ONC, PO Box 1014, Bellaire, TX 77402-1014. Thanks.
How to get there: 95k PDF file. Note, the gate is locked and the sign is not up by the side of the road except during visitors' weekends. There are trail maps in the building, but here is one (65k PDF)to help plan your visit.

Carter got invited to go up to Lake Placid and she asked if I wanted to come along. I couldn't say no! I haven't been since middle school. My parents' friends have a stunning home on Mirror Lake and we visited a couple of times. I have great memories of the town and the lake. Going in the winter has been on my "travel bucket list." Two nights wasn't nearly enough time!
How would I describe Lake Placid in December? So beautiful, so cold.
Leading up to the trip, Carter and I were hoping for snow. Snow is never a guarantee and we were hoping there'd at least be snow on the ground. Well, we got more than we bargained for! When I looked at the weather a few days before our departure, it said it was going to be in the single digits with eight inches of snow.
We made it in one piece and checked into the hotel while it snowed outside. I felt like we were in a snow globe. It was the warmest day of our trip with it hovering right around 30 degrees. Luckily we still had a few hours of sunlight to look around.
We popped in and out of shops along Main Street. I loved all the Adirondack chair ornaments everywhere, especially the red ones! So festive.
A few of the shops had extensive candy and fudge selections. I had to slowly back away from the counters because the temptation was so real. My mouth is watering just looking at the photo.
Main Street is like something straight out of Gilmore Girls. I mean, this movie theatre alone is perfection and then there's a little Blueberry Bakery right next door.
Fun fact, my grandma and grandpa (my mom's parents) were married in Lake Placid. I had to take a photo in front of the door where they had their photo taken. It felt pretty magical with all the snow coming down. It's been a few years since they passed away, but I broke down after taking the photo. I was fine one minute and then crying the next! My mom and my aunts saw the post on my Instagram story and they texted me too saying they were emotional seeing the photos.
After dinner, I regretted not getting some fudge to indulge in. All the shops were closed, so we popped into a restaurant down the street for some dessert and coffee.
On Wednesday morning, our only full day, we bundled up for some skiing at White Face. I had heard mixed reviews about the mountain and everyone described it as the coldest skiing they had ever done. Of course, we spent a good chunk of time getting all of our ski clothes on and by the time we got to the mountain, all but two lifts were closed due to wind. We figured we might as well do a little skiing since we were there. Well as we're walking out of the lodge, they shut down the second lift and the bunny slope was only open! It was still fun though and a great way to get my "ski legs" back.
And the best part about skiing, taking off your boots! I'm all about the aprés ski life. We changed into cozy clothes and went off to find something to eat. I had a savory breakfast of eggs, so I splurged on blueberry pancakes for lunch.
Some more snaps from the walk between the hotel and town. It was ridiculously cold, but it somehow doesn't matter when everything is perfectly flocked with snow.
I was already feeling the Christmas spirit, but this trip really sealed the deal for me. All the wreaths and trees and the SNOW. I sat in front of a fire every second we were inside and it felt like it was Christmas.
Mirror Lake Inn had all kinds of trees up. I'm more into the traditional trees. I loved how they did the rings of ornaments on this one front and center in the lobby.
All of the meals we had were delicious. If you have dinner at The View (the restaurant within Mirror Lake Inn), you have to get the gnocchi. The breakfast was amazing too. I got the oatmeal every day with scrambled eggs.
And just like that, it was time to go! Thursday was even colder than Wednesday. As we were driving out of Lake Placid, I pulled the car over to take these photos. No words to describe how cold it was. The wind was so strong; I thought the car door was going to come unhinged when I opened it. It's a miracle we got any photos here between the wind and cold.
That movie theater really does look like something that would be on the Gilmore Girls and that is so neat about your grandparents and that church! It looks like a wonderful trip!
Am now adding Lake Placid to my list of places to travel to. I had no idea how cool it is there– it looks fabulous!
Sounds like such a fun winter getaway! I have only ever been to NYC but there are so many beautiful places in New York that I want to explore!!
Lake Placid is my favorite place in planet earth. Whatever season, it is so special! The Mirror Lake Inn is a home away from home for me as my husband is a musician there. They are all like family! There is no place like Lake Placid if you want to fill your heart with the stunning beauty of Christmas!
You are darling, and so's that sweater, so I'm afraid to tell you that "apres ski" has nothing to do with breakfast or blueberry pancakes. It is ALL about cocktails. Specifically, it's the afternoon (apres ski = after ski) party at ski area lodges and bars, and depending where you are skiing, can get quite wild!
I have so many fond memories of Lake Placid, both winter and summer. I concur about the skiing being very cold on White Face – we went there and as I was a beginner, I stayed on the bunny hill, but my father and brothers went half way up the mountain and they were sooo cold when they came in – which is saying alot. I saw Animal House and All the President's Men at that theatre – both 2 of my very favourite movies of all time. We used to camp at Cranberry Lake, which is about an hour from Lake Placid and there is a wonderful restaurant there (if it is still there). Thank you for the lovely memories.
Looks like such a fun weekend! I loved seeing the photo of you where your grandparents were married and everything looked so beautiful covered in snow!
These shots are amazing, Lake Placid is so cute! I love the photos of where your grandparents were married – so sweet!
That Apres-Ski sweater is so cute! It totally looks like a ski sweater that my mom would've worn in the 80's!
I'd love to visit Lake Placid. It sounds wonderful in the wintertime with all the snow.
Ughh the photos look absolutely amazinggg I cannot. But girl, I dont know if I can handle all of that snow!
These snaps are so gorgeous Carly, it looks like you had an amazing time!
What a stunning place to be during Christmastime! Oh my goodness…this reminds me a bit of this cozy pre- Christmas trip my bf and I took to Newport rhode island a few years ago… it was so festive there, especially going to the breakers mansions at Christmas time! I love your ski outfit too, retro and very cute!
Love the "Apres Ski" sweater! I'm still learning, so I get tired easily and joke that the whole trip is just "apres ski". Eventually I'll get my ski legs but for now, I just love reading by a fire in the snow!
Love all of these pictures, and way to be a trooper in that miserable cold!

Tesla brings down Model 3 cost in Australia, causing it to qualify for rebates
Tesla brought down the Model 3's cost in Australia throughout the weekend, making the base variant cost AU$59,990 before incentives. With the price drop, the Tesla Model 3 is presently qualified for rebates in certain Australian states, as New South Wales and Victoria.
The Tesla Model 3 drive-away costs fluctuate, contingent upon the Australian state or region. All the Model 3 drive-away costs Tesla recorded in its configurator incorporate extra fees, similar to the delivery fee. Tesla likewise included local stamp duty, local registration costs, local CTP, and the local plate fee costs into its calculations.
As a general rule, the cost of the Model 3 Standard Range Plus variant appears to fall under a specific price point, making it qualified for incentives in specific regions in Australia.
For example, in Victoria, the base Model 3 presently costs AU$64,968 ($48,591.52 in USD) before savings. With the latest Model 3 price drop, the car's base variant is qualified for a $3,000 ZEV subsidy in Victoria.
The Victorian Government presented the subsidy for new zero-emissions vehicles with a Vehicle Subtotal (dutiable worth) under $68,740. Victoria's $3,000 ZEV subsidy is apportioned on a first-come, first-serve basis and is restricted to 4,000 vehicle registrations.
In New South Wales (NSW), the base Model 3's drive-away cost is $64,648 ($48,352.18 in USD) before savings. Beginning September 2021, clients who buy new or even used battery electric vehicles or hydrogen fuel cell cars won't pay stamp duty, given the vehicle they purchase is under $78,000 ($58,338.54 in USD). The Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor AWD Long Range in NSW would be qualified for the no-pay stamp duty rebate.
Tesla sells over twice however many vehicles as the entirety of its adversaries consolidated in Australia
The NSW Government will likewise offer a $3,000 rebate to the first 25,000 new battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cell clients who buy vehicles under $68,750 ($51,420.19 in USD).
Queensland and Tasmania additionally have their own incentives or rebates for new energy vehicles. What's more, there are government incentives accessible that Tesla clients could benefit from, as well.
For example, there is the luxury car tax rate and thresholds. "The Luxury Car Tax is levied at 33c on each dollar above a certain threshold," explained Tesla. "For most cars, that threshold is $69,152 in 2021, however for fuel-efficient vehicles including the Tesla Model S, Model X, and Model 3, that threshold is $79,659."
With a base value that presently begins below $60,000, the Tesla Model 3 would probably contend better in Australia's electric vehicle market. The price drop looks good for the all-electric car, as it is now the country's most popular EV regardless of its past higher cost.

Upper Mississippi River 2020 navigation season comes to an end
Motor Vessel 'The Colonel' down bound at Lock and Dam 2 in Hastings, Minnesota, with two empty barges Nov. 30, 2020, marking the unofficial end to the navigation season on the Upper Mississippi River.
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, locked its last tow of the season today, Nov. 30, to end the navigation season on the Upper Mississippi River.
Traditionally, the last tow heading south of Lock and Dam 2, near Hastings, Minn., has marked the unofficial end of the navigation season. The Motor Vessel 'The Colonel' locked through Hastings Nov. 30. The Motor Vessel R. Clayton McWhorter was the first tow of the 2020 season. It locked through April 6.
The 2019 season ended on Nov. 28. Historically, the last tow to leave St. Paul usually takes place the last week of November or the first week of December.
This winter, the Corps will begin winter renovation and maintenance at Lock and Dam 4, in Alma, Wis., Dec. 7. The repairs require the lock to be completely closed during the maintenance. The lock repairs are scheduled to be complete by March 14.
The Corps closed Lower St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam and Lock and Dam 1, both in Minneapolis, to navigation Nov. 7. Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam was permanently closed to all navigation in 2015.
The St. Paul District's navigation program provides a safe, reliable, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable waterborne transportation system on the Upper Mississippi River for the movement of commercial goods and for national security needs. Keeping this system open is vital to the nation's economy.
Release no. 20-204

Q: Status 419 on laravel project with Load Balancer I'm using Digital Ocean Load balancer to divide all the requests into 2 separated servers. Both servers are runing the same Laravel application, but when those 2 servers are online and i try to do a post request, sometimes i receive a status 419 and sometimes 200, but when 1 server is offline, the requests works normally

A: I suppose you are using the default session driver, which is files. Because of this your sessions are set on one of the server and the other server doesn't know of this session. The csrf token set on the form is created and checked using the current session for the visitor, if this request is posted to the other server you will receive an error 419 because this server has no knowledge of the session.
To solve this, you should use a session driver that can be shared between servers like database, memcached or redis.

Jay Weatherill, Elon Musk to build world's biggest virtual power plant
Simon EvansSenior Reporter
Feb 4, 2018 — 3.21pm
South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill has joined with Elon Musk's Tesla in a plan to build the world's largest virtual power plant in suburban Adelaide.
The deal means 50,000 households will be given free solar panels and Tesla storage batteries, and was announced the same day that Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull warned against more energy "experiments".
Mr Weatherill unveiled the plan to build the 250MW virtual power plant on Sunday, the same day as South Australian Liberal leader Steven Marshall held his official campaign launch ahead of the March 17 state election. Mr Marshall's centrepiece is a $45 million plan to scrap payroll tax for all small businesses with a wages bill of $1.5 million or lower.
Malcolm Turnbull was part of the state Liberal launch held at a surf lifesaving club at West Beach, where he urged voters to back Stephen Marshall and deliver change to South Australia. Brenton Edwards
Mr Turnbull was part of the state Liberal launch held at a surf lifesaving club at West Beach, where he urged voters to back Mr Marshall and deliver change to South Australia.
Mr Turnbull also turned the focus to electricity. "South Australia cannot afford another four years of reckless experiments," he said in reference to the state's aggressive push into renewable energy which he claims has been at the expense of reliability.
Mr Weatherill rejected suggestions that he had deliberately timed his virtual power plant announcement to try and derail the Liberal Party's campaign launch.
He said the "final signature" on the contract with Tesla had gone onto paper at 5pm on Friday in the United States and so the Sunday announcement was logical.
A giant storage battery in South Australia's mid-north built by Tesla and Neoen last year was the first major partnership between the state and Tesla.
Mr Weatherill held his virtual power plant announcement in Adelaide's lower socio-economic northern suburb of Salisbury North. "It is a nice contrast," he said.
SA Premier Jay Weatherill is joining forces again with Elon Musk's Tesla, this time to build the world's biggest virtual power plant made up of 50,000 households. AAP
"The Libs are out there looking after their mates," he told reporters when asked about the payroll tax plans of Mr Marshall. Mr Marshall earlier accused Mr Weatherill of leading an "arrogant and dysfunctional" Labor Government.
The theme of Mr Marshall's campaign launch was a "Strong Plan for Real Change". But the entry of SA Best's Nick Xenophon, who plans to run 30 candidates in the 47-seat lower house, is a major thorn to both the major political parties.
The virtual power plant when it is in full flight after four years, will have 50,000 homes connected to it which are able to feed a combined 250MW into the electricity grid.
A retailer is being sought to operate the scheme, with the successful retailer being able to utilise the output of the Tesla household storage batteries and solar panels to supply power into the broader grid.Mr Weatherill said he had "every confidence" it would be a winner.
The sheer scale of this new project in Adelaide, which has already begun with a trial of 1,000 houses owned by the State Government's low-cost housing arm, the Housing Trust, overshadows anything that has been attempted thus far. AAP
"The size of it is the reason it's going to be a success," Mr Weatherill said.
He said it would bolster the state's electricity grid further, and was another leg in his $550 million energy plan first revealed in March 2017 to shore up the fragile power network.
Electricity retailer AGL already runs a much smaller virtual network in suburban Adelaide, while there is also a scheme which operates in Canberra which is similar, where about 250 households are connected in a virtual power plant.
A house in West Beach which was part of the much-smaller AGL virtual power plant scheme was the location last year for the on-camera verbal stoush between Mr Weatherill and Federal Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg over energy policy.
Jay Weatherill is once again using the gloss of being associated with entrepreneur Elon Musk and Tesla to enhance his electoral credentials.
But the sheer scale of this new project in Adelaide, which has already begun with a trial of 1,000 houses owned by the state government's low-cost housing arm, the Housing Trust, overshadows anything that has been attempted thus far.
Mr Weatherill is once again using the gloss of being associated with entrepreneur Elon Musk and Tesla to enhance his electoral credentials. "We're teaming up with one of the world's great technology companies, Tesla," Mr Weatherill said.
A Tesla battery in the state's mid-north near Jamestown began operations last year and was part of Mr Weatherill's $550 million power plan put in place after a statewide blackout in September, 2016 caused major political upheaval, with critics arguing the state had rushed too fast into renewable energy projects.
The power plan also involved setting up a fast-start power generator which will run on diesel fuel in the first instance as a back-up if there are electricity shortfalls.
Each of the households in the new virtual power plant program will be given rooftop solar panels and a 13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall 2 battery system.
After the trial of 1000 houses, the second leg involves a further 24,000 Housing Trust properties. The scheme will then be broadened out to private households who want to be involved.
Mr Weatherill is attempting to continue the Labor Party's grip in South Australia, where it has been in power since 2002.
But this election has been up-ended because of the involvement of SA Best's Nick Xenophon.
Mr Xenophon is expected to be the kingmaker who will ultimately decide who to back to form government, although some are even tipping he is an outside chance to poll strongly enough to come close to becoming premier himself.

The many doubts of Michael Hodge, QC


Some people find the holiday season the best time to purchase a new car, and this is also the fact for people living in India. It's for this reason why the big carmakers find launching new cars in October and November so important.
If you are on the lookout for a new car this month, then there are a few models that stand out for us, although the new Maruti Suzuki car launch looks to be one of the highlights.
The model in question is the Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS, and is said to be the most powerful version of the Baleno yet. Some of its main features start with the 1.0-litre three cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which will be able to produce 110 horsepower, which is up from the 84bhp of the current variant.
Other models to look out for are the Honda Brio facelift, which is already available for you to buy, along with the Hyundai Elite i20 automatic variant, Volkswagen Ameo diesel variant, Honda Accord Hybrid, Tata Hexa, Hyundai Tucson, and Jaguar F-Pace.
Many of these are coming to India this month, but we do have a feeling that the Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS will prove one of the more popular models in India.


China Southern, with its eye on the Indian-American market is now working with them to serve up Indian meals on board. Working with Sky Bird Travel and Tours in Los Angeles, the airline made a presentation to a smattering of South Asian travel agents.
On hand was Chef Dale Hart who in his resume boasts of serving a President and appearing on television shows. With the help of Indian-Americans in the kitchen, invitees were given a glimpse of what Hindu, Asian Vegetarian and Muslim meals would be like. Accordingly, there were vegetarian curries and soups – of the Indian and Chinese variety. There was also lobster and steak for the non-vegetarian, again featuring both Indian cuisine and other international flavors.
China Southern services nine weekly flights from Los Angeles to its hub Guangzhou. Currently Indian-Americans traveling to India can go from here into Delhi. The Delhi service is an extension to China Southern's six North America gateways - which apart from LAX includes JFK and SFO – to Guangzhou.

Reviews: STOCKHOLM and HOME
by Lynn on May 20, 2012
l-r Melissa-Jane Shaw, Jonathon Young
The following reviews were broadcast on Friday, May 18, 2012 on CIUT FRIDAY MORNING, CIUT 89.5 FM. STOCKHOLM at the Tarragon Extra Space until June 3; HOME at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts until June 20.
(ROSE)
1) Good Friday Morning. It's time for a little theatre from Lynn Slotkin, our theatre critic and passionate playgoer.
Hi Lynn
What do you have for us today?
Two plays that I just realized sound sort of the same. And both are about people who are confined in some way.
The first is STOCKHOLM by British Playwright, Bryony Lavery at the Tarragon Extra Space. About an intensely passionate couple Todd and Kali who take their obsessions to a dangerous point.
And HOME by David Storey, also British, about two erudite, well dressed men of a certain age in a kind of facility, the truth of which we gradually find out.
2) What's the story behind STOCKHOLM and how is the couple confined?
For Todd and Kali life seems good. They live in a designer house. They are intensely in love and lust with one another. Sex is good and often and sometimes rough and ready. They are planning to go on vacation in a few days, to Stockholm. We are told that logistics were difficult to plan this trip which I found strange since neither seems to work. They just play, enjoy, go to art films and cavort on the countertops. When things are good they are electric.
But we soon become aware of problems. Kali is inordinately jealous. She thinks Todd is cheating on her—she checks his cell phone for calls he received. She often goes haywire. She lashes out at Todd. He fights back. It's compelling. And this seems like a recurring ritual.
3) Picking Stockholm as their vacation destination can't just be an accident. Is the Stockholm syndrome involved.
I sure think it is. I love Bryony Lavery's work—she calls her writing deceptive and she's right. But we soon become aware that Todd and Kali's relationship is like the Stockholm Syndrome.
In part it's defined as: "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens and abuses, or intimidates the other."
Yup, that sounds about right. Kali can be loving but she's a loose canon. She's the one who beats, threatens and abuses Todd, and he fights back.
Bryony Lavery's writing is elegant, poetic and always provocative. She wrote a play called FROZEN about a pedophile a scholar doing a book on that kind of behaviour and the mother of a child who was abducted. Stunning. Ms Lavery was sitting behind me on opening night and I wanted to ask her where she had to go emotionally to write that play.
Same thing with STOCKHOLM. She has written a play about the Stockholm Syndrome but has re-imagined it in a different way involving two loving people, and it still makes sense.
In the beginning of the play both Kali and Todd address the audience and tell them the story in the third person—that could be a bit coy, but I think it sets up a certain distance that's interesting. Then as we become embroiled in their lives, that third person reference almost disappears.
4) If Kali and Todd are cavorting on the countertops, what is the production like?
I think it's terrific. This is a gripping, beautifully directed production by Kelly Straughan. With athletic movement that is part dance choreographed by Susie Burpee. Kali and Todd flip each other over countertops, against the fridge as they straddle components in that kitchen.
Very impressive. Kelly Straughan has directed her actors so that you never know when they will veer off being affectionate and intimate and segue into brutality.
The results are two terrific performances by Melissa-Jane Shaw as Kali and Jonathon Young as Todd. Melissa-Jane Shaw as Kali is at once charming and engaging in the physical aspect of the relationship, and almost possessed with rage as she becomes jealous of something both real and imagined.
And as Todd, Jonathon Young is easy going, affectionate and concerned when Kali attacks him, and just as combative when he's defending himself.
This production of STOCKHOLM looks at the obsessive, compulsive behaviour of people in lust and love. And it doesn't let you look away.
5) And how about HOME, is this one deceptive too?
It is. Two very nattily dressed gentleman, Jack and Harry and enjoying the spring weather outdoors in a kind of park. They sit on two chairs talking about this and that, who they know, commenting on the various characters passing by. They both are fastidiously dressed in a suit, tie and vest. Their shoes are shined.
Both enjoy life it seems; they are optimistic.They are both articulate, perhaps even formal in their speech. They are kindred spirits. But there are hints that where they are is not necessarily voluntary.
Jack speaks of a wife but there's an edge. Someone brought him there. Was it the wife? Jack talks about a lot of people he knows, but no on visits him. Harry is vague about his family. There is something dark in his past. He is crushed when there are hints of what happened.
There are two women of a certain age, who enter the scene. Kathleen is a bit of a tease, everything has a sexual innuendo which entertains her mightily. There are hints that she might have attempted suicide and was therefore brought to this facility to get help.
Her friend Marjorie keeps telling Kathleen to lower
her skirt. She later tells someone that Kathleen will go after any man she can. Marjorie is a woman with a sharp tongue and edge. She is an angry, impatient woman who knows how to float a line that will embarrass or disadvantage a character if it means she gets the upper hand. She talks of going home soon. Kathleen doesn't want to go home.
So home could mean the place where they are, or the place where they can't be but want to or not.
6) So it sounds as if David Story in HOME is as deceptive a writer as Bryony Lavery in STOCKHOLM.
Exactly. Story's dialogue is fragments of sentences which each man finishes, or at least replies to suggesting he knows what his friend is talking about.
"Well look at that then…."
Yes I know,
Who'd have thought…"
With these fragments we find out the story believe it or not. Storey is writing about desperate people reacting to their desperate situation is different ways. The men are trying to hang on and be normal by dressing impeccably and being dignified. But they are fragile emotionally.
The women are different—abrasive, common, vulgar and love to tease them. The play is both very funny and achingly poignant. There is a dash of mystery about this place that they are—or the kind of home they are in.
7) Does the production do justice to the play?
It does. Albert Schultz has directed a fastidious, funny, moving production. The story is revealed slowly. There is just as much information is the silences as in the fragmented dialogue. I love that.
You have a cast of masters when it comes to comedy, and can change on a dime to catch you up short in a poignant moment.
As Jack, Oliver Dennis, stiff upper lip and jovial hides his secrets. As Harry Michael Hanrahan radiates good will, but is quick to tears when his life story is revealed. Both of them together is like watching Olympic ping-pong.
The women are their match as well. Kathleen limps because her feet hurt and she's afraid to take them off. Brenda Robins plays her as a flirt, easily corpsing into giggles at some innuendo. She is sort of browbeaten by Marjorie, beautifully played by Maria Vacratsis.
Marjorie is a bitter woman. She is quick with a barb—very observant for the signs of weakness and dangerous. Yet she has a gentle side too, but I would be careful of her.
The last character is Alfred, a former wrestler who is not right in the head. He keeps lifting the table and chairs as if he was pumping iron, and in a way he is….wrought iron. Alfred is mono-syllabic, and Andre Sills plays him as a lumbering teddy bear—rather endearing.
So STOCKHOLM and HOME. Both worth leaving home to see.
Thanks Lynn. That's Lynn Slotkin our theatre critic and passionate playgoer. You can read Lynn's blog at www.slotkinletter.com.
STOCKHOLM plays at the Tarragon Extra Space until June 3.
HOME plays at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts until June 20.

Stockholm was too stylized, too choreographed, and too boxed-in with very little real human connection. More a dance piece than anything else, and by the end I couldn't have cared one whit what happened to either character. Let them suffer in their own little world — it had no connection to my own and they both deserved their lots. and putting away groceries is BORING, no matter how you stage it. Only a 60 minute play but I was counting the minutes after a third of it. Jonathon Young, for all the hoo-rah surrounding him, was annoying vanilla and self-indulgent. Exactly the reason why theatre is dying — only self-congratulatory theatre types will see this play and convince themselves they enjoyed it.

Commodore 128D
Late in 1985, Commodore released to the European market a new version of the C128 with a redesigned chassis resembling the Amiga 1000. Called the Commodore 128D, this new European model features a plastic chassis with a carrying handle on the side, incorporates a 1571 disk drive into the main chassis, replaces the built-in keyboard with a detachable one, and adds a cooling fan. The keyboard features two folding legs for changing the typing angle.
According to Bil Herd, head of the Hardware Team (aka the "C128 Animals"), the C128D was ready for production at the same time as the regular version. Working to release two models at the same time had increased the risk for on-time delivery and was apparent in that the main PCB has large holes in critical sections to support the C128D case and the normal case concurrently.
In the latter part of 1986, Commodore released a version of the C128D in North America and parts of Europe referred to as the C128DCR, CR meaning "cost-reduced". The DCR model features a stamped-steel chassis in place of the plastic version of the C128D (with no carrying handle), a modular switched-mode power supply similar to that of the C128D, retaining that model's detachable keyboard and internal 1571 floppy drive. A number of components on the mainboard were consolidated to reduce production costs and, as an additional cost-reduction measure, the 40 millimeter cooling fan that was fitted to the D model's power supply was removed. However, the mounting provisions on the power supply subchassis were retained, as well as the two 12-volt DC connection points on the power supply's printed circuit board for powering the fan.
A significant improvement introduced with the DCR model was the replacement of the 8563 video display controller (VDC) with the more technically advanced 8568 VDC and equipping it with 64 kilobytes of video RAM—the maximum amount addressable by the device. The four-fold increase in video RAM over that installed in the "flat" C128 made it possible, among other things, to maintain multiple text screens in support of a true windowing system, or generate higher-resolution graphics with a more flexible color palette. Little commercial software took advantage of these possibilities.
The C128DCR is equipped with new ROMs dubbed the "1986 ROMs," so-named from the copyright date displayed on the power-on banner screen. The new ROMs address a number of bugs that are present in the original ROMs, including an infamous off-by-one error in the keyboard decoding table, in which the 'Q' character would remain lower case when CAPS LOCK was active. Some software will only run on the DCR, due to dependencies on the computer's enhanced hardware features and revised ROMs.
Despite the DCR's improved RGB video capabilities, Commodore did not enhance BASIC 7.0 with the ability to manipulate RGB graphics. Driving the VDC in graphics mode continues to require the use of calls to screen-editor ROM primitives or their assembly language equivalents, or by using third-party BASIC language extensions, such as Free Spirit Software's "BASIC 8", which adds high-resolution VDC graphics commands to BASIC 7.0.

BlogNew DC Circuit Decision Shows Why GOP Wants to Block New Judges
New DC Circuit Decision Shows Why GOP Wants to Block New Judges
Paul Gordon	| November 1, 2013
A three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a divided ruling today that the Affordable Care Act's contraception coverage provision violates the religious liberty of two business owners. The majority ruling came from far-right Bush-43 nominee Janice Rogers Brown, and she was joined by Bush-41 senior judge Raymond Randolph.
Judge Brown opened her opinion with starkly political language more appropriate to a Republican convention than a judicial opinion:
Two years after our decision Seven-Sky v. Holder, 661 F.3d 1 (D.C. Cir. 2011), we are asked to revisit the behemoth known as the Affordable Care Act. … [We] must determine whether the contraceptive mandate imposed by the Act trammels the right of free exercise [of religion] … [emphasis added]
With politically charged language like that, it was no surprise what her conclusion would be.
The case concerned the two Gilardi brothers and the Freshway corporations they own, a produce and trucking operation that employs about 400 people. The Gilardi brothers and their two corporations sued the Obama administration, contending that their religious liberties were violated by the administration's mandate that insurance plans provide women with contraception coverage without copay.
Judges Brown and Randolph rejected the claim that the Freshway corporations have a religious liberty right that can be violated, since they are not people. But they also ruled that the contraception coverage provision violates the brothers' rights under the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Under RFRA, a law is invalid if it imposes a substantial burden on religious liberty, unless it is the least restrictive means to serve a compelling government interest.
The D.C. Circuit panel's majority ruled that the law fails in every respect. On the question of whether it imposes a substantial burden, Brown and Randolph concluded that the law forces the company's owners to "approve and endorse" the inclusion of contraceptive coverage in their companies' employer-provided plans, despite their religious objections to contraception. (It is not clear how obeying a law is the same as approving and endorsing it.) And they concluded that the interests underlying the contraception provision are not compelling – that is, that the government does not have a strong enough reason to ensure that women have access to affordable contraception.
The dissenting was Judge Harry Edwards, a Carter nominee and the only one of the court's six senior judges not put on the bench by a Republican president. He explained:
There are three reasons why the Mandate does not substantially burden the Gilardis' "exercise of religion." First, the Mandate does not require the Gilardis to use or purchase contraception themselves. Second, the Mandate does not require the Gilardis to encourage Freshway's employees to use contraceptives any more directly than they do by authorizing Freshway to pay wages. Finally, the Gilardis remain free to express publicly their disapproval of contraceptive products. [emphasis in original]
He also recognized that protecting women's health is a compelling government interest.
Yesterday, Senate Republicans made clear their determination to prevent President Obama from filling the three vacancies on the court, filibustering the first nominee just as they had signaled they would do even before they knew who the president's three nominees would be. Today's opinion exemplified why. Including senior judges, who can serve on panels like the one making today's decision, Republican-nominated judges on the D.C. Circuit outnumber Democratic-nominated ones 9-5. And with Republicans having made a deliberate effort over the years to appoint conservative ideologues to the bench, a three-judge panel is more likely than not to have at least two staunch conservatives.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we saw Republicans shut down the government and threaten to destroy the nation's economy is the president did not adopt their policies. Similarly, since President Obama isn't nominating the people that a President Romney would have chosen for the D.C. Circuit, Senate Republicans have taken it upon themselves to limit the size of the court and keep a Democratic president from filling the three vacancies.
That is why it is so important to defeat the GOP effort to filibuster the president's nominees. For them, "elections matter" only when they win.

Anti-Inflammatory Helps Treat Bacterial Meningitis: Study
Dutch researchers report that dexamethasone, along with antibiotics, increases survival rates
By Steven Reinberg
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 29, 2010 (HealthDay News) -- Using the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone along with antibiotics increases the chance of surviving a bout with bacterial meningitis, Dutch researchers report.
"Dexamethasone therapy reduces mortality from bacterial meningitis by one-third," said lead researcher Dr. Diederik van de Beek, a clinical neurologist from the Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam.
"That's a huge effect," he added. "Normally, the death rate of bacterial meningitis is 30 percent; if you use dexamethasone, it decreases to 20 percent."
Obesity May Boost Odds for MS in Kids
Many Pneumonia Patients Get Too Many Antibiotics
Americans Aware of Antibiotic Resistance, but Don't Always Follow Rx: Poll
The report is published in the Sept. 29 online edition and the Oct. 26 print issue of Neurology.
For the study, van de Beek's team collected data on 357 people 16 and older who had bacterial meningitis between 2006 and 2009. Of these patients, 84 percent were given a dose of dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, before antibiotic treatment was started.
The researchers compared the outcomes of these patients with 352 patients treated for bacterial meningitis between 1998 and 2002, before dexamethasone was routinely given for the infection. Among these patients, only 3 percent had been given dexamethasone, the researchers noted.
Deaths among those given dexamethasone in the 2006-2009 study group were 10 percent lower than for those in the early study group. In addition, hearing loss was almost 10 percent lower for people in the 2006-2009 study group compared with the earlier group, the investigators found.
"If you extrapolate these findings to the U.S., if you treat all patients with bacterial meningitis with dexamethasone, that would save one life every day," van de Beek said.
Guidelines in the United States recommend the use of dexamethasone for suspected cases of bacterial meningitis, he added.
Jeffrey Cirillo, an associate professor of microbial and molecular pathogenesis at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, said that the study's results confirmed previous findings in clinical trials and laboratory models that dexamethasone treatment in combination with antibiotics can reduce mortality in patients.
"These results strongly support the use of dexamethasone in cases of pneumococcal meningitis and offer promise to improve the chances of survival from meningitis, a frequently deadly illness," Cirillo added.
Since 2000, a vaccine against bacterial meningitis has been available. A study last year confirmed that the vaccine has significantly cut the number of cases of the disease.
Overall, the number of cases of the disease dropped 30 percent in that time, but the effect on the very youngest and oldest was even more pronounced: Incidence decreased by 64 percent in those younger than 2 and by 54 percent in those older than 65, according to the report, published in the Jan. 15, 2009 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The vaccine, known as Prevnar and made by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, is part of the standard vaccination recommendation for children in the United States ages 2 to 23 months, as well as for children 24 to 59 months old who are at high risk for pneumococcal disease.
Meningitis causes inflammation to the membranes in the brain and spinal cord. Bacterial meningitis, unlike viral meningitis, can be deadly and can also cause hearing loss, brain damage and learning disabilities. The most common and severe form of bacterial meningitis is pneumococcal meningitis. About 30 percent of people with bacterial meningitis die from it, according to background information provided in a news release from the American Academy of Neurology.

Agapetus I of Rome
Revision as of 12:33, October 25, 2012 by Andrew (talk | contribs) (Category)
Our father among the saints Agapetus I of Rome was the Archbishop and Pope of the Church of Rome from 535 to 536. He is most remembered for his part in the deposition of the heretic Patriarch Anthimus I. He is commemorated on April 22.[1]
Little is known of Pope Agapetus' early life. He was born in Rome, the son of Gordianus a Roman priest who had been slain during riots in the days of Pope Symmachus. Agapetus was ordained a deacon around 502 during the time of the schism within the Church of Rome between followers of Symmachus and Laurentius for the papal throne. He was an archdeacon when he became the Pope of Rome on May 13, 535.
His first action as Pope was the burning of the anathema that Boniface II had pronounced against his rival the papal legate Dioscurus, an antipope who died twenty two days after his election, on the false charge of simony. He confirmed the rulings of the Carthaginian council, after the defeat of the Vandals, that declared converts from Arianism ineligible for the Holy Orders. But, it was his actions at the court of emperor Justinian for which he is most remembered.
Traveling at the request of King Theodahad of the Ostrogoths to influence the emperor against an invasion of Italy by the Roman general Belisarius, Agapetus arrived in Constantinople as Anthimus I usurped the patriarchal throne with the influence of empress Theodora over the objections of the clergy that considered him an intruder and heretic. Pope Agapetus ordered Anthimus to make a written profession of faith. After Anthimus' refusal, Agapetus directed him to return to his forsaken see as Agapetus declined to have any further relations with him. Emperor Justinian threatened Agapetus with banishment. Agapetus is said to have replied, "With eager longing have I come to gaze upon the Most Christian Emperor Justinian. In his place I find a 'Diocletian', whose threats, however, terrify me not." Justinian, for the first time in the history of the Church, personally consecrated Anthimus' legally elected successor, Mennas. Justinian delivered to the Pope Agapetus a written confession of faith, which the latter accepted with the proviso that "although he could not admit in a layman the right of teaching religion, yet he observed with pleasure that the zeal of the Emperor was in perfect accord with the decisions of the Fathers". [2]
Soon afterwards Agapetus fell ill and died on April 22, 536, after a reign of ten months. His body were brought to Rome in a lead coffin and deposited in St. Peter's Basilica.

A. Yes, I would love to do that. This job really satisfies me. Every day I am helping people and this gives me an immense pleasure and a sense of fulfillment. The medical report done by me can help people prevent serious diseases, such as lung cancer, at the very early stage. My job also helps improve public health. For example, I was one of the technicians to provide the results of people body check last year. From this regards, I would recommend this job to others who want to help people as well as have a meaningful career.
A. Honestly, I haven't seen any significant changes in those shops these days. While, I do see some changes on the way people purchase their goods. Apart from better decoration and more sales persons, things have been almost same as it was a few years ago.
A. I'm afraid not. Children nowadays prefer to play games on iPod and in other gaming devices, rather than reading books. In our childhood, reading books was the main activity among children but nowadays children have electronic gadgets and internet connection to spend time. So they read less on an average than our generation.
A. Definitely, I would. In fact, I often do that. I gave my best friend the book called "Bridget Jones's Diary" as her birthday present recently.
A. Newspaper, as its name suggests, includes all kinds of news and recent events and editorials. For example, by reading the daily newspaper, we can get all information happened yesterday and in the week, sometimes even today's event. While, magazines, on the other hand, are more likely to focus on certain areas; such as geography, spots, short story, significant recent events etc. For instance, the magazine "Hello", includes lots of news about celebrities. People, who like stars like Beyonce or Victoria, can get special information from it.
A. Like I said earlier, people read magazines to seek certain information. People read "Hello" and "US weekly" to get gossip and fashion news of celebrities. Geography and Nutrients are the magazines that offer the knowledge in special areas. Many professionals and students prefer to read magazines as those often come with special news, in-depth articles and research papers related to their profession and study.
A. When people read a newspaper or a magazine, they can't choose what kind of information exactly they are willing to read. For example, it is hard to chase a piece of information about how a special medical technique developed in this month by reading them. But it works with the internet. People can simply put keywords in Google search and get the results in one second. It is easier and more convenient. Again it's not possible to purchase all the newspapers and magazines from a store. On the contrary, you can read as many newspapers, magazines and other news sources from the internet. With the popularity of social media like Twitter and Facebook, the news is being shared and read by people without even searching for them. So I would say the advantages of the internet as a whole and in terms of communication and news source is unparalleled.
A. I don't think so. Whether the latest trends in technology should be used or not depends on the development of the country. For example, when the technique of mitochondrial donation was published early this year, it was impossible for some developing countries to adopt this. It is not only because the money spent on this technique is expensive, but also the condition of technique in the country. Maybe America can use this one quickly, but for some countries, they can't even think about this when many people are living in poverty.

Q: jQuery toggleClass only toggles once I have a div which i am trying to toggle its class from one to another. I am able to toggle it only once but it will not return to the original class. I looked around for possible answers and looked into the propogation function, however i am unsure this is the correct use?

    <button id="startStopCount" class="HomeButton" >Start</button>

A: You are getting the element via $('.cInact'). However, when you toggle the class .cInact, you can no longer get that element by $('.cInact') (it doesn't have that class anymore).
You can either do a selection with $('#counter') (getting the ID instead of the class, because you aren't toggling the ID) or assign the element reference to a variable:
var myAwesomeCounter = $('.cInact');

// Then use
myAwesomeCounter.toggleClass('cDown cInact');

A: Well, you're selecting the class 'cInact' and then toggling it's class.
i.e- removing it.
Wen you're trying to select the element again with the same selector: classname == cInact it's no longer true for that element. so you select nothing, and nothing happens.
To fix this, try using a different selector- e.g- id, like so-
$('#counter').toggleClass('cDown cInact');

A: The selector  $(startStopCount) is wrong. It should be $("#startStopCount")

A:

    $('#startStopCount').click(function(e){
      e.stopPropagation();

    $('.cInact').toggleClass('cDown');
      });

$('html').click(function () {
 $('#counter').removeClass('cDown');
});

        <button id="startStopCount" class="HomeButton" >Start</button>

A:   $('#startStopCount').click(function(e){
      e.stopPropagation();
      $('#counter').toggleClass('cDown cInact');
  });
  $('html').click(function () {
      $('#counter').removeClass('cDown');
  });

Better perhaps:
  $('#startStopCount').click(function(e){
      e.stopPropagation();
      $('#counter').toggleClass('cDown cInact');
  });
  $('body').click(function () {
      $('#counter').removeClass('cDown');
  });

Kyle Rittenhouse Attorneys Spell Out Case That He's A Patriot Who Shot In Self-Defense
By Chip Mitchell
Oct. 9, 2020, 5:55 a.m. CT Updated 2020, 3:12 p.m. CT

A court filing by attorneys for a 17-year-old Illinoisan accused of killing two protesters days after Kenosha police shot Jacob Blake presents the most detailed argument yet that Kyle Rittenhouse's arrival on the streets with a military-style rifle was an act of patriotism and that the shots he fired were all acts of self-defense.
The defense filing, submitted ahead of a Friday hearing in an Illinois court, argues against Rittenhouse's transfer to Wisconsin to face homicide charges. The filing alleges flaws with the extradition paperwork and alleges that his transfer in the high-profile case would "turn him over to the mob" and violate the teen's constitutional rights.
Legal experts have voiced doubt that Rittenhouse's attorneys, Chicago-based Michael Baker and Los Angeles-based John Pierce, will be able to derail the extradition, typically a straightforward process that reserves issues of probable cause and constitutionality to the demanding state's court.
But the attorneys are using the occasion to detail the teen's narrative of the incident, which followed two nights of unrest after Blake's shooting. The filing says "rioters descended on Kenosha" under the cover of protests against the police "and unleashed fury."
"The nights of August 23 and 24 made clear that the state and local government could not (or would not) contain the insurrection," the teen's attorneys wrote.
Rittenhouse, a staunch law-enforcement supporter, went to Kenosha on August 25 and mingled with armed self-appointed militia members. Thursday's court filing characterizes them as "citizens who responded to their civic duty to help the community."
The criminal complaint against Rittenhouse, filed by Kenosha County prosecutors after his arrest in north suburban Antioch, Illinois, says it was illegal for the 17-year-old to be carrying a dangerous weapon, identified as an AR-15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine.
But Rittenhouse's court filing says the teen merely "went out to provide medical attention" and "carried his medical bag to provide first aid and had a rifle to protect himself."
The defense filing says that, despite countless hours of video circulating online from that night, Rittenhouse is never depicted threatening or antagonizing anyone.
"Shortly before midnight, video depicts Rittenhouse dashing away from a gas station with a fire extinguisher and heading south on Sheridan Road," the 17-year-old's attorneys wrote in the filing.
Rittenhouse was headed to where protesters including Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, "appeared to be lighting fires in trash cans," the filing says.
"For reasons that remain unclear, Rosenbaum began to pursue Rittenhouse upon finding him alone," the teen's attorneys wrote. "Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse into a car lot while other rioters flanked them."
A shot rang out. The defense filing alleges that there was a man with Rosenbaum who fired the shot "into Rittenhouse's direction."
"Video captures the events as Rittenhouse turned towards the sound of the gunshot and Rosenbaum lunged for his rifle," the defense filing adds. "Unable to retreat further and under grave risk of immediate harm, Rittenhouse fired four shots from his rifle at Rosenbaum."
Rosenbaum collapsed to the ground. An autopsy, described in the criminal complaint, found that he had gunshot wounds to the groin, back, hand, thigh and forehead.
But the Rittenhouse filing does not mention the wounds or a phone call that prosecutors say he made at that moment, admitting, "I just killed somebody."
The defense filing says "a hostile crowd closed in and forced Rittenhouse to retreat for his safety."
"He ran towards police whose flashing lights could be seen just blocks away," the filing says. "The hostile crowd, though, would not allow it. One rioter struck Rittenhouse in the back of the head as he ran. A few steps later, Rittenhouse stumbled and fell to the ground."
The criminal complaint said that people who were pursuing Rittenhouse were also yelling that he had shot someone.
"Unable to retreat," the 17-year-old's attorneys wrote, Rittenhouse turned to face "several attackers charging towards him."
Rittenhouse fired two shots at "an attacker who kicked him in the head," his attorneys wrote, but those shots missed.
The defense filing characterizes protester Anthony Huber, 26, as "another attacker" and says he "struck Rittenhouse in the head with a skateboard."
A statement last month from Huber's family characterized him as a "hero" who "selflessly tried to disarm" a minor from out of state who was illegally armed with an assault rifle and was "allowed to roam the streets, threatening numerous civilians" and who had already shot and killed someone.
The defense filing says Rittenhouse "managed to shoot" Huber as they "wrestled for control."
Huber died from that round, which tore through his heart, aorta, pulmonary artery and right lung, the criminal complaint said.
Next, according to the defense filing, "another rioter, Gaige Grosskruetz, advanced on Rittenhouse with his handgun out."
"Momentarily raising his arms, Grosskruetz then lowered his handgun in Rittenhouse's direction," the teen's attorneys wrote. "Rittenhouse fired a single shot, wounding Grosskruetz in the same arm that pointed the handgun."
Grosskreutz, who survived the wound, was volunteering as a medic when he was shot, according to Bethany Crevensten, who was among protesters near the shootings.
"He was a hero and he is a hero," she told the Associated Press.
Rittenhouse is being held without bail in Lake County's juvenile detention facility.
Kenosha County prosecutors charged him with first-degree intentional homicide — Wisconsin's equivalent of first-degree murder — in connection with Huber's death. They also charged him with first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18, and two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment. All but the gun charge are felonies.
If convicted of the murder count, he would face a mandatory life sentence.
At Friday's court hearing, a brief online proceeding in which Rittenhouse appeared with a blue face mask, Lake County Judge Paul Novak scheduled Oct. 30 oral arguments over extradition.
The filing by Rittenhouse's attorneys argues that the extradition would violate his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure because video evidence shows "without the shadow of a doubt" that he acted in self-defense.
"The case is unique because the evidence is so public that the court need not delve into another state's case file," the teen's attorneys wrote.
The defense filing also argues that the charges are politically motivated and that sending Rittenhouse to adult jail in Wisconsin would endanger him.
Blake, who is Black, was shot seven times in the back by white officer Rusten Sheskey, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down and sparking outrage after video of the shooting was posted online.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating that shooting. The three responding officers are on administrative leave.

I have a multi output process that I modeled in openLCA (1.7.0 on Mac). One of the outputs is heat (heat, district or industrial, other than natural gas). When I want to calculate the allocation factors for my other output processes I need to mark this as an avoided product. Otherwise the other allocation factors are calculated to zero. Why is this? I have not assigned any price to the heat (but to my other three products which I am interested in). Do I have to give heat a price as well or is there a bug?
"for my other output processes"
- you mean output products? Checking "avoided product" means that you apply system expansion, thus these products are not considered in allocation (and it is not a bug).
the system expansion product is then removed from the process, and only the rest is subject to allocation. I would say this is uncommon but not incorrect.
I do not understand your 2nd sentence - he has modeled a similar process and has not encountered this problem - he marked the product also as avoided product? But maybe we have solved it now.

SA government willing to "ban" the Internet to stop online gambling
Gbenga Ajao
The government of South Africa is considering banning the internet, in order to put an end to online gambling in the country.
This was contained in a statement issued by Ghaleb Cachalia, the DA Shadow Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry. The statement to declare that the DA will not support the National Gambling Amendment Bill.
Chief Director in the Consumer and Corporate Regulation Division of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), MacDonald Netshitenzhe, has said: "we can stop online gaming – by banning the Internet".
Netshitenzhe was the Chief Director of Policy and Legislation at the DTI, and Cachalia said he was "responsible for this mess in the first place", referring to the bill.
"This amendment bill emanates from the flawed gambling policy of 2016 which believes, amongst other things, that online gaming should be banned."

Cachalia also noted that the Minister of Trade and Industry, Rob Davies, said "online gambling is strictly prohibited" and he wants tougher measures to be implemented to curb it.
Davies has proposed giving the National Gambling Board more powers to do so, and making it the industry regulator.
While he also proposed clamping down on advertising and unsolicited messages to entice vulnerable groups to gamble, Cachalia said that the biggest crackdown will be made on unlawful winnings via online gambling.
"If you go online, we may not be able to stop you when you play the game, but when you win, we get you," Davies reportedly said.
The government will use the Financial Intelligence Centre, which will work with financial institutions, to verify and seize online winnings.
Cachalia said that the process to table the amendment bill was also unnecessarily hastened, resulting in shoddy legislation that will not stand up in court. The bill was introduced this year.
"The committee has not applied its mind, the provinces are opposed to this bill, and there will be legal challenges, which the DTI will lose hands down," Cachalia predicted.
"In the end, this represents a fatal mistake to deal with legislation in a piecemeal approach."
According to Cachalia, Davies' broad policy direction, and his decisions over the last year are deterring investment, damaging the South African economy, and costing jobs.
"Increasingly, the minister's policy disposition is towards greater state control, greater punitive measures, wider ministerial powers, and heightened mistrust and antagonism of the business community," stated Cachalia.
"This amendment bill is no exception."
