Understanding environmental law and the potential damage to capital value of environmental risk is critical for overseas investors in the U.K.
Julie Townsend, Senior Director in Environmental Consultancy explains the differences between UK and overseas environmental laws and explains how risks can be minimised or avoided in pre purchase due diligence.
Commercial property investors need confidence that property valuations are robust. Unforeseen environmental risks can be substantial and there are many examples of buyers or lenders being hit with significant and unexpected costs to address environmental issues.
The concept of land contamination liability first became a real business issue in the US. The most far-reaching statute regulating land contamination in the US is generally considered to be the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act ('CERCLA' or 'Superfund') of 1980. The Superfund is based on a "polluter pays" principle. In theory, clean-up costs are met initially from the Superfund, with the Environmental Protection Agency seeking reimbursement from one or more 'potentially responsible parties'. The liability net cast by this process can draw in not only those businesses that caused pollution historically but also covers present and former landowners or operators.
However, since 2002 landowners who complete "all appropriate inquiries" can meet the criteria of a bona fide prospective purchaser, innocent landowner, or contiguous property owner and be protected from Superfund liability.
The polluter pays principle is also a cornerstone of EU environmental policy, although the way in which this is transposed into statute in each member state varies considerably. In the UK for example, where the person who caused or knowingly permitted the contamination cannot be found, the present owner or occupier can be held liable (under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990). Whilst the completion of appropriate environmental due diligence does not give a landowner protection from liability, it does allow a prospective purchaser to establish the condition of the land.
In the UK the onus is typically on the buyer or lender to establish this condition (caveat emptor). Liabilities can be transferred by contract under private law in ways that are recognised under statutory provisions. The transfer of contaminated property can also take place with some kind of indemnity provided from the seller to the buyer, in case of future claims and perhaps backed up with an environmental insurance policy.
Land contamination is not the only environmental risk having an impact on UK property values. As part of the due diligence process, it's also worth considering risks from radon, mining, sustainable obsolescence from for example low energy ratings, the presence of invasive weeds such as Japanese Knotweed, impending / changing permitting requirements for facilities regulated by Environmental Permitting Regulations such as a high-street dry cleaner or a petrol filling station and the recently well-publicised risks from flooding. Whilst there is a clear downside in neglecting to consider environmental risk, there is also the possibility that risks may have been overstated by others, resulting in valuable investment opportunities being missed unless independent advice is obtained on behalf of those investing.
Which property sustainable certificate to choose?


This is a list of all Charlie Troopers and those attached to Charlie Troop that I know of. This list is comprised of names the Walker Jones, Jack Schwarz, myself and others have come up with. If you know of more let me know. This post will only be up for some time in the future. The main place to get the roster is at www.charlietroopcav.org.
The above is the original roster of Troopers who went to Vietnam by Boat in 1965. These orders were given to Pat Bieneman by Titch Titchenell. Pat retyped the Roster for our website. These orders were originally carried by Major Billie G. Williams.
Booth, Johnny Lloyd; CPT, 68-71?
Thurrott, Wayne; PFC, Scout Gunner 69 Deceased Feb 9, 2015.
Armond, I did not Chuck and his men went over in C130s. When did you get there? Did you all go over the same time Major Radcliff and the rest of the Advance party did? Was it all of the Blues or just some of you? Thank you for the info.
My father, Florendo Pascual, was promoted to E-7 sometime between arriving in VN and his passing. In August 1965, our family just arrived home in Hawaii (the Army shipped a number of families back home to Hawaii). We were staying at a relatives house because our house was still occupied by the tenants. One morning we received a call from my father who told us that he was a Hickam AFB; I know now that he was part of the advance party. Within an hour after my mother got off the phone, my father called again saying that he received permission to come over to visit with us for several hours. Sad to say, it was the last time we saw my father.
Patrick, I am sorry that you Dad never was able to come over and visit. I know your Dad's Platoon Leader, Captain Chuck Knowlen, respected your Dad very much. Chuck and I talk every so often and he always brings your Dad up and hoe bad he felt the day you Dad was Killed In Action. Your Dad is a Hero in Captain Knowlen's eyes. I wish I had met him.
My name is Franklin J. Weed, RA 16696954, (315-44-3292). I was a SP5 and I arrived C/1/9 Cav the second half of Dec 65. I was assigned to the Scout section. Flew several training flight's of first and last light. I then was assigned to Ops as the generator operator when the lights kept going out due to poor maintaince. Since I was a tanker and how to maintain the generators. Everywhere that C Troop went I went along with the Ops. I also flew several flights with the scouts and was called a FNG when I pulled the pin of a smoke grenade and it did not go off. The high ship asked if I had pulled the pin. I had it around my finger. There are other stories that I remember but when I got back to the States, I suppressed the memory of a lot, due to the way I was treated when I got home and the way I was treated by the other NCO's and officers in the units that I severed.
Frank, I was hoping you gave me your phone number and then I realized the second set of numbers only had 2 digits. I was going to try to call you. I am getting ready to go to the doctors but I'll be home this evening. If you would like to talk you cans end me a private email at pcbnamin@verizon.net. I hope when you say the way you were treated by NCO's and Officers you meant in a unit back in the in states and not Charlie Troop.
NOW THAT IS A LOT OF DEDICATION!!!
Kurt, This roster is the results of a lot of hard work by Walker Jones, Jack Schwarz, Grover Wright and many more. Yes, there has been a lot of dedication but it is well worth it. If you look at the lisy for your time frame and you see someone missing please let me know.
I believe my dad was a part of this troop from dec 1966- sept 1967, does anyone remember him? His name was Michael Herring.
Josephine, Do you know for sure what he did was he was there? I will contact some of the Troopers who served in 66-67 time frame to check on his being there. I do not want to assume anything but is your Dad still alive? His name sounds familiar. Do you happen to have a picture of him while he was in Vietnam?
Unfortunately he passed away about 10 years ago. He was a helicopter mechanic. According to his military records he also served in Alpha troop before moving to Charlie. He never really talked about his experience in Vietnam but I'd love to know more about him. Thank you so much for your time!
I am sorry that he has passed. I am going to put this out to the guys that served during that time period. I am hoping that there will be several that remember him. If I contact any that do, may I have your permission to give them your email address so they can communicate with you?
Sorry for the delayed response. Yes you may give anyone who remembers him my email address. Thank you!


We are already two days removed from Selection Sunday, so if you haven't filled out your NCAA Tournament 2016 bracket, then you're already behind a majority of the country. March Madness isn't just a special time for college basketball fans, but sports and non sports followers from around the country get involved in office pools and it's the most exciting three weeks in sports.
At the end of the tournament, we will get to see a deserving team cut down the nets in Houston, but before that can even happen, upsets will need to occur. The first and second rounds are usually riddled with high seeds taking down favorites while the Sweet 16 on is usually business as usual.
If you're stuck on who you think would be a potential dark horse candidate and you don't know if they're the right choice, go with your gut. Otherwise, this list is here to help.
Taking a look at the dark horse candidates in this year's field, there aren't many that really stick out, but some potential No. 5 and higher seeds who can be considered underdogs who could really make a run at the Final Four.
When I said "dark horse" I don't mean Cinderella teams like No. 13 or No. 12 seeds that could win a round or two, I mean No. 5, No. 6, No. 7 and maybe even a No. 11 seed who could run all the way to the Elite Eight and maybe pull a George Mason and snag a bid to the Final Four.
Providence can be a scary team when it plays to potential. With Ben Bentil as a dominant forward and Kris Dunn as one of the nation's best point guards, the Friars look to be a force in this year's NCAA Tournament despite being only a No. 9 seed in the East Region.
If you're North Carolina, you have to feel a little shafted by the selection committee's choice to give the 23-10 Friars the nine seed in your bracket because if the Tar Heels and Providence meet in the second round, it could be an interesting battle, potentially sending the top seed home early.
No one really wants to play a team with elite players at both the point guard position and in the post. One thing that really killed Providence this year, though, was the play against top-tier teams. The Friars were 5-0 against RPI 26-100 teams, but just 1-7 against top 25 squads. That was the difference between a No. 5 seed and a No. 9 seed.
The Friars have played teams like Villanova, Xavier and Michigan State tough this season and the Tar Heels are along the same lines as those teams.
Watch out for the Friars to get past North Carolina and even make a run at a Final Four as the nine seed in the East. Dangerous team.
At the beginning of the season, if you looked at the Arizona Wildcats' roster, you would have labeled it a strong contender for a Final Four. At this point in the year, that talent is still there, but the Wildcats had to fight through injuries all season long and still managed to finish 25-8, but earned just a No. 6 seed.
The selection committee revealed why it gave Oregon a No. 1 seed over Michigan State and it said that injuries played a major role in that selection because the Ducks weren't healthy at all times, but yet the Wildcats earned a No. 6 seed with a solid RPI as well as finish to the regular season.
One thing that may hold the Wildcats back in the South Region is that they have a tough time playing defense. Arizona might score 81 points per game, but it also allows nearly 70. That will need to be fixed if the Wildcats believe they're going to be the team who upsets the No. 1 overall seed: Kansas.
Heck, Arizona could match up with No. 2 seed Villanova pretty well after getting past Vanderbilt or Wichita State and potentially No. 3 seed Miami. Ryan Anderson, Kaleb Tarczewski and Gabe York have been here before, so don't be surprised to see the underrated Wildcats make a run.
You might look at Gonzaga's record and the fact that the Bulldogs won the West Coast Conference Tournament title and wonder how they got just a No. 11 seed, but the answer is quite simple: they didn't play anyone.
The West Coast Conference isn't exactly elite and the Bulldogs didn't "dominate" like they had in years past. Couple that with an 0-2 record against RPI top 25 teams and you have a weak schedule with no real signature wins.
Earning the No. 1 seed a couple of years ago, Mark Few knows how to earn respect from the selection committee, but apparently he didn't do enough this year and therefore was given a No. 11 seed. However, the Bulldogs were paired with the lowest No. 6 seed, or so it seems, in Seton Hall even though the Pirates are coming off a win against Villanova in the Big East title game.
Seton Hall is a team Gonzaga can match up with very well and Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabots are two guys who won't lay down without a fight. If Gonzaga does get past Seton Hall, like I believe it will, the Bulldogs will likely face Utah in another game that isn't a huge mismatch.
Beat Utah and then potentially play Michigan State for a shot at the Elite Eight. Anything could happen at that point.
First off, let's get this out of the way early on: the selection committee made a terrible mistake by giving Purdue a No. 5 seed. Why, you ask? Well, the Boilermakers were ranked No. 13 in the nation going into the Big Ten Tournament, made it all the way to the final against No. 2 Michigan State and nearly knocked off the Spartans.
How does a team do all of that and not get one of the top 16 seeds overall in the country? It just does't make sense. Heck, the entire Big Ten seemed a tad disrespected. The Big Ten regular season champ, Indiana, only got a five seed. The tournament champ who was ranked No. 2 in the nation, Michigan State, only received a No. 2 seed and Purdue a five.
Anyways, the Boilermakers are a scary team. Right now, I can bet you Michigan State is hoping it doesn't have to face the Boilermakers once again as Purdue played the Spartans tough, narrowly falling just a few weeks after beating the same team in West Lafayette.
A.J. Hammons and Caleb Swanigan are a tough duo in the post as the senior and freshman, respectively, bully opposing big men around with ease. It's hard enough to score on these guys let alone stop them.
I can see Purdue advancing to the second round to face Virginia and pulling off the major upset. Don't be shocked to see a Purdue-Michigan State rematch in the Elite Eight.
Remember when I said the Big Ten was majorly overlooked by the selection committee this year? Maryland is another prime example of that. The Terrapins might be the most talented Big Ten teams, in terms of NBA talent, in the entire conference and were a preseason No. 1 team in the nation candidate.
The Terrapins were expected to just run away with the Big Ten title this season with the additions of Robert Carter, Diamond Stone and Rasheed Sulaimon to complement Jake Layman and Melo Trimble, but that hasn't quite been the case.
Sure, Maryland finished the year 25-8, but the final stretch of games were ugly for the Terrapins and they were from 10-2 and the favorite to win the conference regular season title to 12-6 in no time.
That doesn't mean they're not a good team, though. No team should want to face off against the Terrapins because they do have the potential to be a No. 1 or No. 2 seed in this year's NCAA Tournament, but they just didn't play together near the end of the year.
Kansas was put in a very tough bracket and having to get past a team like Maryland in order to reach the Elite Eight is something that no No. 1 seed wishes upon. The Terrapins have more NBA talent than just about every No. 5, No. 4 and No. 3 seed in this year's tourney.

Q: Import of Mongoose schema in Node js app not working properly I'm getting an error message whenever i try to import in my basic exercise app
Exercise-Tracker-MERN\backend\models\exercise.model.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import Schema from "mongoose";

import Schema from "mongoose";
const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const exercise = new Schema(
  {
    username: { type: String, required: true },
    description: { type: String, required: true },
    duration: { type: Number, required: true },
    date: { type: Date, required: true }
  },
  {
    timestamps: true
  }
);

const Exercise = mongoose.model("Exercise", userSchema);
module.exports = Exercise;

I'm following tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CqJlxBYj-M

A: I can see multiple errors in your code. If you are using nodejs without any support for es6 you cannot use import statement instead use require. Also, you are creating Exercise model using userSchema which is not defined.
Please try this
const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const exercise = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
    username: { type: String, required: true },
    description: { type: String, required: true },
    duration: { type: Number, required: true },
    date: { type: Date, required: true }
  },
  {
    timestamps: true
  }
);

const Exercise = mongoose.model("Exercise", exercise);
module.exports = Exercise;

A: You need to import mongoose first
import mongoose from 'mongoose';

const { Schema } = mongoose;

Schema comes from the imported of mongoose

A: import { Schema }  from "mongoose"; es6 syntax(and your node version may not recognize it yet) try const { Schema } = require("mongoose");

if the syntax is not the issue it may be that because you did not deconstruct the Schema out of the mongoose module instead of using the default export

Former FDA exec charged with securities fraud, along with two hedge fund managers
A shocking case of insider trading has rocked the drug development world and beyond.
Earlier this month, a former FDA official and two hedge fund managers were indicted for insider trading that made them unlawful profits of about $32 million.
On June 15, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged the men with using inside information to buy stocks from companies that were soon to have generic drugs approved, with the former FDA official gleaning tips from friends still working at the FDA. According to the U.S. attorney's office in New York, the three men colluded from 2005 to 2011.
This case marks the first time an insider trading scandal has touched the FDA. "This will have far-reaching consequences for the FDA, the stock market and the drug development industry," said Arthur L. Caplan, the Drs. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor of Bioethics at New York University, Langone Medical Center, in New York City. "For many, this will just confirm their biases that the whole system is rigged."
Caplan predicts the FDA will respond by doubling its internal auditing efforts and greatly beef up its training for employees, making this case an example of what could happen to any other bad actors.
Said Caplan, "I would expect the FDA to enhance training, and to convey a general fear that if you engage in insider trading you're very likely to get caught, and that the punishment will be tough and the humiliation will be worse."
Neal McCarthy, managing partner of investment firm Fairmount Partners, which focuses heavily on the life sciences, said that, sadly, insider trading of this ilk probably happens far more than anyone realizes.
"I'm actually surprised that they don't catch more people, as I think this kind of thing is more prevalent but only rarely leads to convictions," said McCarthy. "If they can make $32 million on trading three stocks, there is a lot more money to be made—perhaps billions."
McCarthy added that there are over 810,000 people employed by the pharmaceutical industry, and another 15,000 at the FDA, and that the vast majority of these people are men and women of science dedicated to improving the human condition. "But there are a few bad apples in every bunch," he said.
Sanjay Valvani, a star portfolio manager with Visium Asset Management, pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was freed on $5 million bond, and was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment last Monday night, along with a suicide note that has not been made public. He was 44 years old.
The charges against him were: one count of conspiracy to convert United States property, to commit securities fraud and to defraud the United States; two counts of securities fraud; one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud; and one count of wire fraud.
Valvani had been a parter at Visium, and had built the company into an $8 billion firm that had some of the U.S.'s biggest pension funds as clients.
The former FDA official at the heart of it all is Gordon Johnston, who recently served as a consultant to Visium. According to the SEC, Johnston worked at the FDA from 1987 through 1999, having been named deputy director of the FDA's Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) in 1994. Johnston remained in close contact with former colleagues at the FDA while serving as vice president of regulatory sciences at the Generic Pharmaceutical Association (GPhA) from 2003 to 2011.
Said the SEC in a release, Johnston concealed his separate role as a hedge fund consultant (for which he was getting a $5,000 monthly retainer) and obtained confidential information about anticipated FDA approvals for companies to produce enoxaparin, a generic drug that helps prevent the formation of blood clots. Johnston allegedly funneled to Valvani the details of his conversations with FDA personnel, including a close friend he mentored during his time at the agency. Valvani then traded in advance of public announcements concerning FDA approvals for such companies as Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Watson Pharmaceuticals (now called Actavis), and Amphastar Pharmaceuticals.
"We allege that Valvani's formula for trading success was tapping Johnston to abuse his position of trust as a generic industry representative to the FDA, and underhandedly obtaining confidential information from his friends and former colleagues at the FDA," said Andrew J. Ceresney, director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, in the statement.
Johnston pleaded guilty to four counts: one count of conspiracy to convert United States property, to commit securities fraud, and to defraud the United States; one count of securities fraud; one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud; and one count of wire fraud. The first count carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, and the other counts each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Additionally, Johnston faces a $5 million fine.
Steffan Lumiere, a former Visium portfolio manager, is the other hedge fund manager charged. He faces three counts: one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud; one count of securities fraud; and one count of wire fraud. Lumiere did not enter a plea.
A third hedge fund manager, Christopher Plaford from Investment Adviser-A, a now-defunct privately held group of affiliated hedge funds and associated fund advisors that specialized in healthcare-related investments, also used Johnston's information to make trades, court documents said. Plaford pleaded guilty to seven counts: one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud; one count of securities fraud; one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and to convert United States property; one count of conversion of United States property; one count of conspiracy to convert United States property, to commit securities fraud, and to defraud the United States; one count of securities fraud; and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
McCarthy predicts prosecutors will want to make an example of Johnston, Lumiere and Plaford, giving them tough sentences.
"The longest sentence in insider trading was given for exactly this sort of thing," said McCarthy, pointing out that Raj Rajaratnam, the billionaire head of Galleon Group hedge fund, was sentenced to 11 years of prison and ordered to pay a $150 million penalty in 2011.
Caplan agrees that the penalties will be stiff, for the sake of the reputation of the FDA, the markets and the biopharmaceutical industry.
"This has to be taken seriously not just because of what it means to regulators, but what it means to the traders," he said. "If you undermine faith in the market, you're not going to have a market. People will shy away because they'll think it's just insiders taking advantage of everybody. And drug sponsors don't want people dribbling out information for profits while they're working hard to make sure their trials are viewed as being done properly and having integrity."

Abstract. The "Czech Historical Atlas" project is a part of the NAKI II programme of the Czech Ministry of Culture and aims to create the following two main outputs: a printed atlas of the Czech history in the 20th century and an electronic map portal on the Czech history. This paper is focused on the latter mentioned output and specifically on the design of 3D scenes which should supplement the 2D map content. Currently existing literature is briefly reviewed and the procedural modelling is found to be suitable for the needs of urban landscape reconstruction. Furthermore, available data sources in the Czech republic are discussed and important aspects of modelling are presented.

*

*Download and install iPhone Configuration Utility.

*Connect your device and open console tab

*Send a command from server to the device and see logs (see image below)

*If you can see traces of MDM in the logs such as starting, polling etc, that means the device has received the APNS message and is trying to connect to the MDM server for commands.

*If in the console you find some error, you need to further investigate.

*If you don't see any traces of MDM in the logs, then probably there's some issue - either with the server (invalid push token etc) or with the device's internet connection.

Please post the results and ask for more details if required.

Fluid bed dryers use pneumatic conveying to dry materials. By suspending potash in a fluidized state, the Dryers expose the entire surface of each potash granule, increasing material's cooling efficiency in certain applications. While the Fluid bed dryers are generally smaller than the Rotary dryers, this allows for the drying process to still take place, but in limited space. Another advantage of Fluid bed dryers, is that they are are also modular, which is suited for operational growth in the future. However, the downfall is that they are unable to accept a wide range of variability in feedstock, and do not round or polish granules.

Foreign Secretary William Hague says the British Government "deeply regrets" the conflict between Hamas and Israel and calls for the attacks to end.
Although Britain urged Israel to do its "utmost" to reduce tensions, Foreign Secretary William Hague said Hamas "bears principal responsibility" for the current crisis in Gaza, calling on the Islamist movement to stop its attacks immediately.
He condemned rocket attacks from Gaza into southern Israel, but urged Israel "to do their utmost to reduce tension".
"Hamas bears principal responsibility for the current crisis. I utterly condemn rocket attacks from Gaza into southern Israel by Hamas and other armed groups.

Former GU Undergraduate Carr Abused Children as Jesuit Educator
March 15, 2019 by Sana Rahman Leave a Comment
Before embarking on his path toward ordination as a Jesuit priest, Fr. Neil Carr, S.J., began his Jesuit education with a year at Georgetown University.
JEFF ANDERSON & ASSOCIATES PA | Fr. Neil Carr, S.J., was an undergraduate at Georgetown before abusing a minor as an administrator in a Jesuit high school in New Orleans.
Carr enrolled at Georgetown in 1937 and left the following year to enter the Jesuit seminary in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., according to later articles published in The Buffalo Courier and The Buffalo Evening News announcing Carr's 1966 appointment as the highest-ranking Jesuit in the Buffalo Province of the Jesuit order since it was incorporated into the U.S. Northeast Province of Jesuits.
Carr went on to sexually abuse two minors, with one incident at Jesuit High School in New Orleans, where he chaired the department of theology in the 1970s, and the other in the late 1980s while Carr was teaching at Canisius High School in Buffalo, N.Y., according to the Archdiocese of New Orleans and the Northeast Province.
Georgetown has not publicly acknowledged Carr's time at the university since allegations against him were reported to the Northeast Province of Jesuits and deemed credible in 2005 and first made public in September 2018. The university first learned of the allegations against Carr, who was ordained in 1951 and died in 2013, from a March 1 email from The Hoya.
In 1966, Carr was named the provincial superior of the Buffalo Province of Jesuits. While in this position, Carr was the leading Jesuit in the province and supervised the work of 450 Jesuits in a region encompassing Rochester, Albany, Syracuse, Ogdensburg and some islands in the South Pacific.
The 2005 allegation dated back to Carr's time in Buffalo, N.Y., where he was a priest and counselor at Canisius High School from 1984 to 1993, according to a local ABC News station. However, the incident took place during a summer in the late 1980s at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine in Florida, where Carr was serving as a summer priest, according to the Democrat & Chronicle, a Rochester, N.Y., outlet.
After the first allegation of abuse in 2005, Carr was immediately removed from ministry, stripping him of the ability to perform Mass. The next year, the Northeast Province set up a constant monitoring arrangement meant to prevent Carr from having access to minors.
ILLUSTRATION BY EMILY SHAMBAUGH/THE HOYA
After the Jesuit order began monitoring Carr in 2006, he was housed in Murray-Weigel Hall, a nursing home at Fordham University, a Jesuit institution in New York, until he died in 2013. Fordham was unaware of allegations against Carr until 2018, according to Bob Howe, Fordham's assistant vice president for communications.
Failure to disclose the identities of known abusers can bring dangerous consequences to the communities they inhabit, according to lawyer Mitchell Garabedian, who has represented survivors of clerical abuse in high-profile cases since 2002.
"The Jesuits have responsibility to victims — to sexual abuse victims and society — to research their own records and to reach out to victims," Garabedian said in a phone interview with The Hoya. "Publicize lists of known perpetrators [and] sexual abusers and release documents related to those sexual abusers."
More than a decade after the first allegation against Carr and five years after his death, another survivor shared his story of Carr's abuse.
Ricky Windmann first came forward about his experience reporting Carr's abuse to Jesuit High School in a September 2018 interview with the New Orleans Advocate. Windmann, who was not a student at the high school but regularly visited the basketball courts, had been sexually abused numerous times in the late 1970s by Peter Modica, a janitor at Jesuit High School who has since died.
In one instance, Modica was raping Windmann when Carr, who had come to Jesuit High School in 1976 as the head of the theology department, walked in. Rather than stopping the abuse, Carr began masturbating and told Windmann to "relax" as Modica continued to rape him, Windmann told the Advocate and The Fordham Ram, the student newspaper of Fordham University.
Windmann informed Jesuit High School of the abuse in 2012. Based on the information he presented, the school agreed to a $450,000 settlement with Windmann later that year.
Six years later, though, Windmann shed light on how both Jesuit High School and the Jesuit order's local leadership covered up the settlement, which was not publicly disclosed to students, their families, or the staff or faculty of Jesuit High School. The high school is overseen by the Jesuit order, the guidelines of which do not require sexual abuse claims to be publicized, unlike other Catholic orders, according to the Advocate.
Such cover-ups fall into the Catholic Church's larger pattern of diminishing the trauma abuse has on survivors, according to Garabedian.
"The Jesuits, historically, have tried to downplay the extent of clergy sexual abuse," Garabedian said. "The Jesuits work very hard at spin control and media and manipulation."

The outrage of land grabs pales by comparison to the exploitation of vulnerable and increasingly rare ocean resources by some fishing nations.
As China's giant fishing fleets plough the ocean unabated, small fishing nations are suffering devastating losses in their own marine capture and processing sectors. Their fishing vessels, not being able to compete with constant and extensive exploitation by Chinese fleets in neighbouring waters, are coming back to their home ports empty-netted.
Fiji has recently reported the closure of important segments of its tuna industry, with expected job losses of about 8,000 and growing concerns over its food security.
Maritime nations, entrusted by international law to be the stewards of the ocean, are in fact the main contributors to its devastation, as they are subsidising their ludicrously oversized and no longer profitable fishing fleets to continue their plunder. The Japanese government spends USD 4.6 Billion in subsidies to unprofitable fishing fleets, whilst China follows closely with subsidies of USD 4.1 Billion. Other States that dangerously subsidise their industrial fishing fleets are the EU (USD 2.7 Billion), the US (USD 1.8 Billion) and the Russian Federation (USD 1.5 Billion).
The impact on the oceans of the relentless overexploitation by the biggest fishing nations is profound. In the Pacific Ocean, valuable commercial species such as Albacore and Bluefin tuna are shrinking at unprecedented rates.

IX Almaty
Information about Almaty
It is no coincidence that a magnificent city at the foothill of emerald-green ranges of Tien Shan is called an orchard city. In spring, when southern outskirts are full of blossoming apples, apricot and cherry orchards, the city looks like a fairy tale. Gorgeous verdant attire and magnificent mountain view make Almaty unrivaled. Orchards, groves, parks, boulevards and flower beds cover a total area of more than 8,000 hectares in the city.
Almaty name stems from "apple" word. It is a birthplace of famous species of apple Almaty aport. Some sources claim that merchant settlement Almaty was located in this particular area, where Silk Road route used to run. Chingis Khan horde destroyed it in the thirteenth century. Verny town emerged in 1854 not far from ruins of the ancient town. The Soviet government has renamed the town in Alma Ata and it was a capital city of Kazakhstan between 1929 and 1997.
Almaty is located in the heart of Eurasia in southeastern part of the country at a height of 550-1,950 meters above sea level. Climate in the area varies from continental to subcontinental. Southern and northern edges of the city are located in different climatic zones. It is on the same parallel with the well-known cities of Gagry and Vladivostok. Almaty City with population of over 1.5 million people covers a total area of 300,000 square meters.
Almaty is a hub of science, culture and education in Kazakhstan. It hosts all largest educational institutions, renowned theaters and entertainment centers.

Another world-famous destination is Khan Tengri camp in the Alpine zone, from where alpinists mount Khan Tengri peak, the highest in Kazakhstan (6,995 meters).
Almaty is a home of fetching ladies. Our marvelous beauties annually get into the final of the World Miss. Eventually, a contestant from Almaty will win a long-awaited diamond crown and bring it to the city of seven rivers.
Sightseeing. World-renowned Medeu ice-skating rink constructed in 1972 is 1,691.2 meters above sea level. The largest speed-skating rink in the world, it has been witness to the setting of over 120 world records in ice skating and ice hockey. The total ice surface of 10,500 square meters enables contests in ice-skating, hockey and figure-skating. The mountain valley was named after rich Medeu nomad who made a settlement in this picturesque area in the nineteenth century.
Medeu is gorgeous in all weathers. You can feast eyes on its glory from the top of a grand 842-step stairs.
Shymbulak ski resort is only 7 kilometers away from Medeu at 2,200-2,500 meters above sea level in vivid Zailiyskiy Alatau gorge. The average annual temperature is +20 С in summer and –7 С in winter. The length of ski season is from November to May. The downhill course stretches for 3,500 meters.

Almaty Oblast covers an area somewhat less than the UK. During one day tourists can visit all existing landscape and climatic zones from sandy deserts to eternal glaciers and highest peaks.

Somehow on the bleakest rainy week Camper was able to score a beautiful night where the precipitation finally gave us a break. At 8:30 sharp the ribbon was cut and unveiling of the new House of Shoes began. The design of the building alone was stunning, designed by Shigeru Ban. Depending on where you were standing/looking you got a different view of the store. When entering Camper you see the name along the walls, but from inside you see the mirrored shelves with shoes for days. Same goes for the ceiling one way you see red the other white. All the windows were actually siding doors, perfect for the approaching summer. If you don't know there are great shoes for everyone...fancy, casual, cool and comfortable. To be honest I my focus was on the food…surprise surprise :) The best gift of all was the fan they gave us. For those that don't know subways turn into ovens during the summer, ugh. So this was just what I needed!

"We feel so lucky to have found Mari Caulfield six years ago. She has made an amazing difference in our lives. When we first went to see Mari, I felt overwhelmed and didn't know what to do to help my son. I was learning about autism, but wasn't sure what the right approach was for us.
Through using and educating us about DIR/Floortime, Mari has empowered me as a mother, and helped by son to flourish beyond what I had imagined possible. Mari's approach is warm, positive, respectful and clear, and the results have been remarkable. I couldn't believe how quickly my son made progress, and how beautifully my relationship with my son has changed.

- A little radio show in Alabama making a big difference.
Athens, Ala. – This week, along with Jeff Foxworthy, I'll also be joined by TLC Trading Spaces carpenter Brett Tutor! Brett has an incredibly diverse resume reflecting his seemingly endless talents. He has worked as a stuntman, EMT and SWAT medic, house flipper, home inspector, white water rafting and rock climbing guide, singer, songwriter and guitarist, as well as a security and survival specialist on season two of Discovery Channel's hit show "Treasure Quest." Brett is also a passionate champion of causes with a positive social impact. In 2014, he founded the non-profit organization Off The Grid International (www.otgi.org), which builds clean water and sanitation systems in some of the most remote regions of the planet. Brett will be a guest speaker at this year's Birmingham Home & Garden Show at the the BJCC February 15th-17th. The Mark White Show will also be at the H&G Show with WXJC Radio.

Athens, Ala. – This week on The Mark White Show, joining me will be Atlanta, Georgia, native Jeff Foxworthy!

While Jeff is widely known for "You Might Be A Redneck" jokes, "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?", and "The American Bible Challenge", what many don't know about Jeff is that he spends time with the homeless, teaching Bible study classes and bringing Chick-fil-A biscuits every Tuesday morning to homeless people in Atlanta. Of his work with the homeless, Jeff says, "I think if God loves anything, it's seeing his broken people restored." Jeff & I will be talking more about that effort as well as his upcoming show at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama, on February 10th. I hope you'll make plans to tune in and share this upcoming show with your friends and neighbors!

As two of the cards used in today's review (the ASUS GTX260 TOP and MSI GTX280) are factory overclocked, it would be unfair to directly compare these to the stock-clocked PowerColor HD4870 without giving the card some additional overclocking of its own. Therefore, in the results over the next few pages you will see the HD4870 results alongside a set of "HD4870 OC" results which have been performed at the core/memory speeds shown in the overclocking section below.
During the benchmarking phase, we will be using the following prices extracted from aria.co.uk on 22/07/08 to produce our CPF graphs. Please remember that these graphs are static and only represent a snapshot of the market at the time of this review.
Using only the the ATI Overdrive™ facility built into the driver control panel, the maximum overclock we were able to obtain from the HD4870 was 790mhz on the core and 1090mhz on the memory. With further fine tuning and a utility such as ATITool that allows selection of settings much higher than this, we are confident that the PowerColor HD4870 could have done even better.
