A SOUTHAMPTON councillor has called on Lidl to fund a park and ride for the city as part of plans to build a new store.
Independent Andrew Pope says the discount retailers will make "lots of money" if plans for a new supermarket Brownhill Way are given the green light.
And he has called on the discount retailer to use some of the profits to invest in better transport links for the city.
This includes a new park and ride, which he says should be built on a field behind the proposed supermarket site.
He said: "I want to see what Lidl is going to do for local residents, because Lidl will be making lots of money, so they have to deliver benefits such as improved transport links, a new park and ride, and finally deliver on the promise of sustainability including solar panels on top of the huge local warehouse.
"The Labour Council has to make Lidl do this.
Cllr Pope's comments come days after Lidl announced plans for a third new store in Southampton.
The most recent proposals are for a new supermarket and car park on a greenfield site of Brownhill Way.
The site is just metres away from Lidl's £55 million regional distribution centre, which the supermarket giant opened in 2016.
Ahead of submitting a formal application, the company will host a consultation event at Nursling and Rownhams Village Hall today between 10am and 7pm.
Lidl's announcement comes just months after it revealed plans for a new supermarket on Banister Road.
The site, just off the Avenue, is currently home to car dealership Inchcape Jaguar Land Rover, which will move to a new home on Wide Lane.
The supermarket giant is yet to lodge official plans for the new store.
Meanwhile, Lidl has relaunched its campaign to build a new supermarket on Shirley High Street.
Lidl's original plans, to build on land previously home to Shirley Police Station, were thrown out earlier this year by councillors due to the potential impact on neighbouring residents.
But Lidl's new plans include turning the bulk of the building away from neighbouring residents – one of the concerns raised during the planning meeting.
The plans, which include the demolition of Lidl's current Shirley store, are expected to go before councillors again later this year.


DEA Rejects Attempt To Loosen Federal Restrictions On Marijuanai toggle caption Brendan Smialowski/AFP/Getty Images Brendan Smialowski/AFP/Getty ImagesThe Obama administration has denied a bid by two Democratic governors to reconsider how it treats marijuana under federal drug control laws, keeping the drug for now, at least, in the most restrictive category for U.S. law enforcement purposes.Drug Enforcement Administration chief Chuck Rosenberg says the decision is rooted in science.Rosenberg gave "enormous weight" to conclusions by the Food and Drug Administration that marijuana has "no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States," and by some measures, it remains highly vulnerable to abuse as the most commonly used illicit drug across the nation.
The Drug Enforcement Administration just determined (yet again) that cannabis will remain as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act.This means the federal government still believes cannabis has 1) a high potential for abuse, 2) no currently accepted medical application, and 3) lacks safety standards that make it acceptable for medical use.Other Schedule I drugs include heroin and LSD.
The Drug Enforcement Agency on Thursday once again denied a bid to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule I drugs — a classification that denotes pot as a dangerous drug with "no medical use" similar to that of heroin and LSD.But experts say the ruling will have almost no impact on the movement to legalize cannabis in states throughout the country."Scheduling is a really misunderstood part of drug policy," said John Hudak, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies marijuana policy.

In the beginning, before we started Monty Bear, all I wanted to do was to help my own child.
She wasn't coping on many different levels. She was only five years old, but she knew, and we knew, that emotionally life would be tough for her. What most of us took for granted as innate – the ability to quickly learn and navigate our feelings and friendships and understand social and emotional cues, was tough for her. For her it was like everyone belonged to a club she didn't know how to get into or what the rules were.
As parents we had unsuccessfully tried to discover the underlying cause (more on that subject in another blog). We had then tried to find the 'magic solution' that would make it all go away and 'fix her'. But the more 'magic solutions' we tried the more we realized there was not a one-size fits all solution. Nor was there a quick fix for a child that struggled with change, that had low self-esteem and had trouble self-regulating.
You see the truth of the matter was that we, as her parents, were really lost and struggling too. As parents we struggled with our own preconceived ideas about our child, our own upbringing, parenting ideals, society, school, professionals, labels and then ultimately our own insecurities.
This was one of my many 'aha!' moments. As I struggled to find the tools to help my child, I realized that it was equally important to find the tools to help myself. I needed to be open, to learn, to do a bit of naval gazing and self evaluation about my own Emotional Literacy. I researched and read and asked lots of questions from everyone. My conclusion was that there was a need for practical tools for kids and an easier way for parents to find information than what i had been through! Which is why this blog will be an important resource for you in the weeks to come. I will be writing about various issues, posting relevant articles and compiling lots of resources for us to share.
The other important part of my journey was to start the conversation with a wider audience.
When we launched Monty Bear I had no idea if there would be an audience out there for these issues. My motivation was purely personal. But as we began our journey and as I talked more openly to friends and parents of the children I taught, I realized that we were not alone. There were more of 'us' than I had thought. There were other families that were struggling with their own version of what it was like to raise a child that needed some extra help with their emotions and concept of self.
Opportunity knocked a few weeks ago when we were invited to exhibit at The Boutique Fairs Singapore, www.boutiquefairs.com.sg. As the date approached my anxiety levels grew. I was worried that no-one would get it, that all they would see was a book, a bear, a backpack.
I was overwhelmed by how many of 'us' there are. Parents that are trying to do the best by their kids, struggling to know where to begin and struggling to know how to help their kids. Whether you have the child that appears hyper or aggressive and find it hard to self-regulate at school and is always getting into trouble; or you have the highly anxious, shy child that has trouble with confidence; or the child that has trouble making friends even though she appears very happy and sociable; or a high functioning child with anxiety issues that hides their fears from the rest of the world extremely well but dumps it all on you in the privacy of your own home. We all have children that need extra help with their emotional literacy and this is the whole purpose behind Monty Bear.
As I met and talked with people, some parents where almost on the edge of tears at the relief and joy of finding someone they could talk to and would get it, without judgement.
And I do get it!
This is how I felt on our journey with our child – confused, upset, overwhelmed, but also very silent (more on this in a future blog). It was really an amazing time for me at the Fair because there were parents, lots of them, that could relate. Our kids might all be different, with different needs and on different journeys, but there was a community of 'us' out there!
I am so glad to have found you wonderful parents that I have met in schools, socially and now in the wider community. The brave, wonderful parents that are being the best advocates for their children. We need to continue to teach our kids all about Emotional Literacy.
This is the place to start. It is my hope that this blog will be a forum for discussion and sharing. A place where we can form a community of like-minded souls that can safely ask questions and seek clarification. So please share your stories if you are feeling brave, make a comment or ask a question.

Hello and welcome to Monty Bear.
Hopefully if you are visiting this page you have either bought a Monty Bear package or are thinking about it, so thank you! This is a new adventure for all of us and we are so grateful for your support.
Allow me to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about who we are and what we are about. I'm using the royal 'we' of course, as whilst Monty Bear is a collaboration of three friends, this blog will be just me writing, pontificating and trying to bring relevant articles to your attention, about the topics we are passionate about.
I tend to ramble… I think that is why Bec thought I'd be good at this!
To focus when writing these blog posts and not go off on a tangent, I am going to stick to our two main passions – Positive Education and International Mindedness. Literacy in the Early Years, permeates everything we do and so will inevitably feature often and be written about with great passion.
A little more about me than what's on the website, www.montybear.com.au. I have been an early year's teacher for twenty years and in that time, I have been passionate about education and working with children. I have worked in every school setting imaginable and learnt something from every experience. However, not one of these experiences was as amazing (or such a learning curve), as being a mother. My kids have introduced me to so much, taught me to view life from another perspective and challenged me more often than not! It was only when one of my own children experienced a life changing event and we as a family where all challenged to be more resilient and embrace change, that I consider my true passion became apparent to me.
As a mum, I was not happy with the advice or support I was getting to help my child and so I decided to find out the facts myself and the ways I could support her more. One of the areas of most interest to me was addressing her emotional and social needs. I began to read and find out about growth mindset, Mindfulness and Positive Education.
The interest in International Mindedness is a by-product of living abroad as an expat for most of my adult life and then bringing my children to Singapore to experience the same lifestyle. In my teaching and my travels, my eyes have been opened and my perceptions challenged and changed. I have been lucky enough to witness this with the children I teach and then with my own children. International Mindedness is so important for all children, regardless of where they live or their socio-economic background. But more on this topic later….
These events inspired me to write the Monty Bear books – a true and deep appreciation of children and a fire in my belly to empower them to embrace change and retain as much of their self as they possibly can in their journey through life.
You see I do ramble!
In the following posts, I am going to try and break down for you what Positive Education and International Mindedness is. Along the way I will share with you the joys and hiccups of self-publishing and the journey it has been for us to get to this point of our Monty Bear concept.
We hope you enjoy the posts and learn a little about us and the concepts behind the Monty Bear Series along the way.


13,000 Hours in the Mountains: Whose Mountain Is It Anyway?
A big cat family roams Alaska Hill. Their presence has been been confirmed. At first, the evidence was inconclusive: sounds of an animal splashing around in the creek at the bottom of the hill and a barely visible tail near the sound of a branch snapping in the dark. Perhaps a murderous mountain lion, but perhaps a charming bobcat. Then, a cache was discovered near a neighbor's propane tank. And then a spate of sightings around the area of the cache: the momma coming up a driveway, the cub disappearing into the woods, the duo crossing the road.

Quinte Conservation
Trees sequester carbon (CO2), reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that contribute to climate change. You need about 500 full-sized trees to absorb the carbon dioxide produced by a typical car driven 20,000 km/year.
An average size tree produces enough oxygen in one year to keep a family of four breathing.
Three trees planted in the right place around buildings can cut air-conditioning costs up to 50 percent.
Trees provide shelter and food for wildlife such as birds, squirrels, and bugs. Groves of trees provide food and cover for larger mammals, such as raccoons and deer.
Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark.
Excess carbon dioxide (CO2) is building up in our atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Trees absorb CO2, removing and storing the carbon while releasing oxygen back into the air. In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the same amount of CO2 produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles.
50,000 trees

Jess Wenick and Chad Karges of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) provided guidance, logistical support, and funding to The Wetlands Conservancy (TWC) for this project. Esther Lev of TWC coordinated the project and provided guidance as a member of the Ecology Woring Group (EWG). Vegetation sampling was done by Bruce Newhouse, Richard Brainerd, Jess Wenick, and Barry Smith.
This report summarizes vegetation data collected in July 2015 in wet meadow and marshy habitats on the Double O Unit of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR). Because vegetation sampled at the Double O was wetter and more alkaline than wet meadows sampled at the south end of the refuge in 2012 and 2013 (Christy 2014), data from the Double O Unit were analyzed and summarized separately. A total of 83 plots were sampled in 2015, and analysis of the data identified 14 plant associations: Alopecurus aequalis - Juncus balticus, Alopecurus pratensis - Potentilla anserina, Carex praegracilis - Juncus balticus, Cicuta douglasii - Carex nebrascensis, Distichlis spicata - Amphiscirpus nevadensis, Distichlis spicata - Nitrophila occidentalis, Eleocharis palustris - Juncus balticus, Eleocharis rostellata, Juncus balticus - Glaux maritima, Hippuris vulgaris - Triglochin maritima, Leymus triticoides - Juncus balticus, Schoenoplectus americanus, Spartina gracilis, and Triglochin maritima. Plant associations spanned a wetland gradient from seasonally moist to seasonally or perennially flooded, but surface water had left most stands at time of sampling. Mean Wetland Indicator Status scores and species composition help to place the plant associations within gradients in soil moisture and alkalinity. Seven of the 14 plant associations are listed in the International Vegetation Classification, and the remaining types are provisional.

On 15th August I phoned the boatyard where my boat was impounded. I was told that my boat had sunk - several times - and they couldn't keep it afloat. It had had mains operated pumps on it since it had been there but they couldn't keep it afloat. He said they were thinking of taking it out of the water.
I said that as far as I was concerned my boat had been destroyed. It had been taken unlawfully. Craned out and transported 125 miles then craned back into the water. Obviously damaged in the process as I had told them it would be and then it had sunk. Remember it's a 72ft wooden boat and will always leak if craned out and back in again. I told him it was entirely the fault of CRT and I had no argument with him, or claim on him.
My boat had, inevitably, sunk and CRT had not responded to my questions relating to its recovery. Quite obviously they knew it had sunk and were not wanting to admit it as the boat still belonged to me. They hoped to stall me until 30th August when they claimed possession of the boat. (Actually, they don't claim possession of the boat but offer it for sale at that point). It was my boat and I was negotiating its recovery before that date.
I sent an email requesting that they acknowledge that my boat had sunk, 17th August. Sent it again on 19th August.
Sent the email again on 21st August stating that I had passed the details to a solicitor. Received a reply the following morning from Paul Griffin, Head of Enforcement.
'You unlawfully seized my boat. You unnecessarily transported it 125 miles. You damaged it. It has sunk in your care. You refused to respond to my questions as to how I recover my boat. You did not answer my emails asking you to acknowledge you were aware that my boat has sunk until I told you the details had been passed to a solicitor. You now expect me to pay you a contrived debt for a sunken boat that you have said I have to, upon recovery, remove from CRT water again. The boat is damaged and has sunk several times. The boatyard manager/owner said he is thinking of taking it out of the water as they can't keep it afloat.
Your attitude and response would be beyond belief if I was not fully aware of the organisation I'm dealing with. The boat did not sink in my care over 24 years while, mostly, travelling around the system. It sunk when you seized it in breach of an undertaking to the court who you misled as to the situation (having misled them about everything else).
To say CRT care about historic boats is laughable. You care about getting away with your nefarious activities and crushing those who challenge you and expose you.
You owe me a replacement historic boat or the cost thereof. As you will, clearly, not allow me to have a boat on the waterways you owe me the cost. I owe no debt to you. You destroyed my boat through your unnecessary actions to create that contrived debt.
'In Paul Griffin's absence, I respond on behalf of CRT as follows.
Pearl was lawfully seized and this has been dealt with in previous correspondence, so I do not propose to return to this issue.
You have also previously been made aware (on more than one occasion) that you may retrieve Pearl by paying the lien which CRT has taken over the boat, to cover the cost of removing it from our waterways. As for you allegations that a contrived debt has been created, this is simply untrue. Again, as we have previously explained to you, CRT uses a single contractor for boat removals and the costs incurred reflect the steps taken to carefully remove, transport, and store Pearl, costs which would not have been incurred if you had removed Pearl from our waterways yourself. However, I note your concerns that there may be an inaccuracy in the figures so if you could please clarify precisely why you think VAT has been added twice, I will ensure this is followed up early next week when the relevant colleague returns to the office. If there has been an error, this will of course be corrected.
I can confirm that when you emailed CRT on the afternoon of 17th August stating that Pearl had sunk, this was followed up with our contractor and the boatyard where it is being stored, and Paul Griffin responded early this morning. I believe he had intended to email you yesterday afternoon but he was dealing with other matters before commencing a period of leave, so responded this morning (on his day off). As Paul said in his email, Pearl was partly submerged because a power cut caused pumps to stop working. Pearl was kept afloat by the mooring ropes and CRT are exploring how the boat can be preserved for the long term because we do, contrary to your allegations, respect its historic value.
They didn't answer my questions about how I can recover my boat. I sent the list of questions several times. I have the emails. They did not respond to questions regarding why it was necessary to crane out a wooden boat, transport it 125 miles, crane it into the water and then present me for a bill for this careless and unnecessary action which, as I advised them, resulted in damage to my boat and its eventual sinking. And they claim that they are looking after it (I don't use exclamation marks but will just this once) !!!!!
I am expected to pay them to get my boat back, unless they now think it's theirs as of 30th August, and then, somehow, repair the damage and get it afloat and then I have to remove it from their water or they will take it again!
What am I supposed to do with a 72ft wooden boat if I can't keep it on the canal?
This is how they behave. This is what we have to put up with. This is what I wanted to expose in the court. It is now exposed, at considerable cost to myself, so I would urge anyone in any way interested in the waterways and its history and heritage and its use as a means of a way of life for those who choose to pursue it with good intent ( which does not mean travelling on a never ending journey around the system subject to absurd restrictions and prescribed destinations) to do whatever they can to challenge and attack these crooks who have 'seized' the waterways just like they have 'seized' my boat. They regard themselves as the custodians of the waterways. They are not. They are the destroyers of everything of worth about the waterways.
I was the 'custodian' of 'Pearl'. I rebuilt it, maintained it, used it and kept it going when it was generally regarded as beyond repair in 1990. I bought it because I didn't know what I was doing. Sometimes the best way when faced with a difficult task. I have lived on Pearl for 24 years, always had a licence, never caused a problem. I have a right to be on the waterways. They shouldn't be anywhere near them. BW caused all the problems. They decided to bully people on boats to get them off the canal or into marinas. They realised that the easiest targets were the elderly and those with health problems so they harassed them to achieve targets and receive bonuses. I complained about this abuse and so was targeted. I also had a health problem requiring medical investigation and was told I could not remain in the area to attend medical appointments. This was in the Northwich area in Cheshire run by the Northwich Office. More of this in an article that deals with the complaints and the Complaint Procedure and the Ombudsman.
Anything written about me that I have seen is inaccurate. I don't use Facebook so I don't know what's on there and I'm not interested. I do not have serious mental health problems. I have had seasonal depression for years, most of my life, like a lot of people. That does not result in mental impairment, arguably the reverse. After being in intensive care, on a ventilator and on 18 different drugs and having been in a coma with multiple organ failure and being given 48 hours to live, I went through a period of anxiety and depression generally referred to as ICU Psychosis. An unfortunate description as it is not actually psychosis and is a general term describing something that is not understood but apparently related to being on life support and associated medication. It does, however, add to an argument that I am a mentally impaired person, a 'nutter', and, probably, a dangerous 'nutter'. I believe this claim has been used by CRT and Shoosmiths to influence the court and the Judge (common practice by Shoosmiths) to give them licence to do what they did to me. It would also have been used to influence the 'laughing policemen' who oversaw my 'eviction. The police don't like 'nutters'. (People who meet with CRT will also be advised that my account of events is 'flawed' due to 'mental impairment' and they should not get involved. Those in this situation invariably agree so as to maintain their 'relationship' and stay 'in the loop').
If there was a consideration that I had a serious mental problem and was a bit 'dangerous' then I should have had representation and not been mistreated as a 'litigant in person'. They get away with this when the person concerned has a 'problem' and is not sufficiently literate or articulate to defend themselves. They don't expect the response that they get from me.
I wonder why more than half the prison population has a 'mental health' problem.
My story is about abuse by an authority, BW/CRT, but is much more widespread and of a similar nature. It is interesting to look at the world of the waterways as being like a 'state within a state'. A state that is allowed to do what bit likes and is a law unto itself. And has a population that has become a 'pariah' group as some 'users of the infrastructure' don't like them and see them as infringing their freedom to use the waterways as if they own them. These 'user groups' get the support of persons employed by the authority, notably Sally Ash and Area Managers, and the result is discrimination and persecution - as a policy. This grows and grows and the, accompanying, enforcement gets more and more draconian.
The Judgment against me was, initially, handed down on November 22nd 2013. The hearing that I had been told had been cancelled. The following day the people, solicitors and CRT employees, Helen Waterman and Jill Overum, and police and bailiffs and others, descended on a woman on a boat on the Macclesfield Canal and removed her, with threats, from her boat. She was left with only the clothes she was wearing on the towpath in late November in a traumatised state.
She was in dispute with BW/CRT and had been pursued through the same court as myself. No doubt with the same deception and abuse of process as myself. She is said to have 'mental health problems'. I don't think she had any representation. Why? I tried to find out from the police what had happened to her as I heard she had gone missing. They said she was all right and had been found. She had not been found. She was missing for several weeks.
She has since been sectioned under the mental health act having set up camp outside the Macclesfield Police Station in protest at the theft of her boat. She has not had her boat, or her possessions, returned to her.
I'm sure such 'problems' as she had, as we all have, have been made far worse thanks to CRT, the courts, Shoosmiths and the obnoxious dimwits Helen Waterman and Jill Overum.
My case was running alongside her case and I think there was some attempt to correlate the two as cases of two slightly eccentric people who wouldn't do what they were told.
In my case the Judge did see the validity of such of my arguments that were aired in court and did seek to ensure I could remain on my boat. He couldn't find in my favour as I was deemed to have provoked the court action which is arguable but not entirely inaccurate. The Ombudsman would not decide on my complaint as it involved legal questions and said I would have to take BW/CRT to court. I said I obviously couldn't do that so they would have to take me to court.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Litigation & Dispute Resolution White-Collar SEC Enforcement Defense United States
A recent US District Court for the District of Connecticut decision reveals the practical limits of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in cases involving foreign nationals, foreign conduct and complex multinational organizations. The court overturned a jury's conviction of British national Lawrence Hoskins for violations of the FCPA, holdng that the DOJ failed to prove that Hoskins was an "agent » of his company's US subsidiary, as required by a previous US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruling in the same case.
On February 26, 2020, the US District Court for the District of Connecticut overturned a jury's conviction of British national Lawrence Hoskins for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The court held that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) failed to prove that Hoskins was an "agent » of his company's US subsidiary, as required by a previous US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruling in the same case. The court's decision reveals the practical limits of the FCPA in cases involving foreign nationals, foreign conduct and complex multinational organizations.
Hoskins formerly worked for Alstom S.A., a global company headquartered in France. Hoskins was initially charged with "conspiracy » to violate the FCPA for his alleged role in facilitating payments to Indonesian officials to secure a $118 million contract for the company (the Tarahan project). Hoskins was neither employed by Alstom's US subsidiary (API) nor physically present in the United States at any point during the alleged scheme. Hoskins challenged his indictment and, in a significant blow to DOJ, the Second Circuit held that the FCPA does not extend to nonresident foreign nationals who do not have an agency relationship with a US person, or who are not officers, directors, employees or stockholders of a US company. Because Hoskins did not work for API, the Second Circuit held that he could be held liable only if the government proved that he acted as an "agent of a domestic concern » (i.e., the US subsidiary).
Back in the district court, the case proceeded to trial in November 2019. Although Hoskins worked for the French parent company and never traveled to the United States, the jury nonetheless found that he acted as an agent for API when he took part in retaining consultants who paid bribes on behalf of API. The jury convicted Hoskins on seven FCPA-related accounts in addition to several money laundering counts.
Hoskins again challenged the government's theory, this time in a motion for judgment of acquittal. In ruling on that motion, the district court focused on a core principle of agency law: that an agency relationship arises only when "one person (a 'principal') manifests assent to another person (an 'agent') that the agent shall act on the principal's behalf and subject to the principal's control, and the agent manifests assent or otherwise consents so to act. » The court emphasized that an essential element of agency is the "principal's right to control the agent's actions. » In this case, the agent was Hoskins, not "the broader project on which the purported agent works, » the court explained.
In dismissing Hoskins' FCPA convictions, the court held that DOJ had not proven that API exercised "control » over Hoskins' actions "sufficient to demonstrate agency » as a matter of law. In undertaking a traditional agency analysis, the court examined the factual complexities of an international project that involved multiple Alstom affiliates and business units. The court examined the reporting chains between business units and the parent company, the process to retain consultants, and the specific responsibilities in undertaking the Tarahan project. In ruling that a rational jury could not find that Hoskins was an agent of API, the court found that the government had failed to present evidence that "there was an understanding between Mr. Hoskins and API that API would be in control of Mr. Hoskins' actions on the Tarahan Project or that API did control Mr. Hoskins' actions in a manner consistent with agency relationships. »
While DOJ has repeatedly claimed that the FCPA extends to foreign nationals and foreign entities, even when they did not engage in any conduct in the United States, there are few cases that actually challenge DOJ's view. In part, this is because large multinational corporations often settle the allegations against them, as Alstom did here, rather than spend years litigating against DOJ. For that reason, the Hoskins case, and the several decisions that it has yielded, is informative.
In Hoskins, DOJ first tried to extend the extraterritorial reach of the FCPA by claiming that Hoskins "conspired » with US persons or entities. The Second Circuit rejected that theory. Then, DOJ moved to a different theory—that Hoskins acted as an "agent » of API, the US entity. With its February 26 ruling, however, the district court placed some limits on that theory as well. While the district court's decision turns on the unique facts of Hoskins' case, and it will not deter DOJ from trying to extend the reach of the FCPA to foreign entities or foreign nationals in what it deems are appropriate cases, the Hoskins' decision is nonetheless a blow to DOJ. DOJ will need to take it seriously as it proceeds in any similar case going forward. In recent years, there have been several successful challenges to the extraterritorial reach of US criminal laws, with the Hoskins case being only the most recent example. Nonetheless, this trend will no doubt continue, and it may set the stage for more meaningful challenges to the extraterritorial reach of other important US laws.

A digital sensor is an electronic or electrochemical sensor, where data is digitally converted and transmitted. Sensors are often used for analytical measurements, e.g. the measurement of chemical and physical properties of liquids. Typical measured parameters are pH value, conductivity, oxygen, redox potentials, and others. Such measurements are used in the industrialized world and give vital input for process control.

Sensors of analogue type were used in the past, but today more and more digital sensors are used. This article describes the difference between them and discusses the reason for the development of digital sensors.

General aspects
Digital sensors are the modern successors of analog sensors. Digital sensors replace analog sensors stepwise, because they overcome the traditional drawbacks of analog sensor systems (cf chapter 3)

History
Electronic and electrochemical sensors are typically one part of a measuring chain. A measuring chain comprises the sensor itself, a cable, and a transmitter.
In the traditional analog systems, the sensor converts the measuring parameter (e.g. pH value) into an analog electrical signal. This analog electrical signal is connected to a transmitter via a cable. The transmitter transforms the electrical signal into a readable form (display, current outputs, bus data transmission, etc.).

The sensor and the cable often are not connected permanently, but through electrical connectors.
This classical design with connectors and transmission of small currents through a cable has four main drawbacks:
a) Humidity and corrosion of the connector falsify the signal.
b) The cable must be shielded and of very high quality to prevent the measuring signal from being altered by electromagnetic noise.
c) The sensor can only be calibrated or adjusted when installed, because the influence of the cable (length, ohmic resistance, impedance) cannot be neglected.
d) The cable length is limited.

Use and design
Digital sensors have been developed to overcome the traditional disadvantages of analog sensors.
Digital sensors are mainly used in water and industrial processes. They measure parameters such as pH, redox potential, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, SAC, turbidity.
A digital sensor system also consists of the sensor itself, a cable, and a transmitter. The differences to analog sensor systems are:
a) The sensor has an electronic chip. The measuring signal is directly converted into a digital signal inside the sensor. The data transmission through the cable is also digital. This digital data transmission is not sensitive to cable length, cable resistance or impedance, and is not influenced by electromagnetic noise. Standard cables can be used.
b) The connection between sensor and cable can be contactless and done by inductive coupling. Humidity and related corrosion is no longer an issue. Alternative fibre optic cables may also be an option for long or electromagnetically hostile connections.
c) The sensor can be calibrated apart from the system.

Title: Wonder, grain, silence and notation : commentary on a portfolio of compositions
Author: Brignall, Oliver
Awarding Body: Brunel University London
Current Institution: Brunel University
http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/17593
This thesis includes a portfolio of written compositions and a written commentary. The compositions submitted present the development of a bespoke notation that reflects a specific set of aesthetic concerns. The written commentary is comprised of five chapters. The first four each deal with a specific aesthetic interest and present the majority of the composition portfolio as an ongoing research project. The final chapter is a commentary on the final work in the portfolio, the opera Palace of Junk, and reflects on this work as the culmination of the research undertaken. Throughout the commentary, aesthetic ideas are considered for both their sonic capabilities and the possibilities of imbuing a more physical style of playing. The subsequent notation developed, represents a method in which the resultant sound and physical action is implicit within the score.

Multiple injuries after flurry of shootings in St. Paul
The city's police chief said 'this violence has to stop.'
Adam Uren
St. Paul Police
A series of shootings in St. Paul Saturday night has prompted a response from city leaders.
Three separate shootings were reported in the city late Saturday and into the early hours of Sunday, which the Pioneer Press reports included three people being shot at the Holiday gas station in the 600 block of Rice Street.
Three more were injured when gunfire broke out at a house party attended by around 100 people in the 800 block of Selby Avenue, and shortly before midnight a shootout happened in the 500 block of Central Avenue when two men with legal firearms were approached by three other men who opened fire on them.
In a post on Facebook, St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said that more than 150 shell casings were found across the three separate scenes.
"This violence in our city has to stop," Axtell said.
"There are dozens of witnesses who know what happened and who is responsible. Some of the victims also know what happened, but refuse to cooperate with our investigation. To those who pulled the triggers - understand that we won't rest until we secure the evidence we need to hold you accountable."
St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter also commented, tweeting: "This is unacceptable. Thankfully no lives were lost, but this clearly could have ended much differently.
"We will work with to identify those responsible, while continuing our focus on addressing root causes to end these violent cycles for good."

Loyola's Brant Hall to step down at season's end
Posted by Gary Adornato | Sep 21, 2016 | Archbishop Curley Football, Feature, Loyola Blakefield, MIAA News | 0 |
With his team off to its best start in his five year tenure as head football coach, Loyola Blakefield has announced that Brant Hall will step down as the head of the program at the conclusion of the 2016 season.
The timing of the announcement, which came in a late Tuesday evening press release, was curious as the Dons, 3-0 and ranked No. 11 in the latest VSN Football Top 20, prepare for a home contest on Friday against Archbishop Curley.
According to the release, Hall will stay on as the school's Assistant Director of Athletics and remain active in recruiting.
In the release, Hall's quotes indicate the move is about spending more time with his family.
"Football is a great game that I love very much and I'm honored to coach at Loyola," said Hall. "My two boys are getting older and my wife and I have our own hopes and dreams to pursue together as a family."
Hall replaced Brian Abbott in 2012 and has not yet had a winning season, going 16-28 over his first four years. Abbott was 78-30 in 10 seasons with four MIAA A Conference championships and an 11-0 season in 2008.
Since Abbott's departure, however, the school changed some of its admission procedures and Loyola has not been able to attract the same caliber of athletes it once did, while recruiting across the rest of the A Conference has escalated.
Hall remains highly regarded at Blakefield. He was three-year starter at quarterback as a player with the Dons and was the 1997 Baltimore Sun Player of the Year, before going onto great success at Lehigh University, winning four Patriot League titles. He then returned to Loyola as a teacher and an assistant football coach under Abbott.
"Brant is an inspiring ambassador for our Ignatian principles," said Loyola athletic director Mike Keeney. "He embodies the mission of the school in a way that sets an outstanding example for our Dons."
The school has announced that it will conduct a search for a new coach in December. Until then, Hall is focused on the remainder of 2016.
"We still have a lot of season left and our goal is to continue to work hard for the win each week," said Hall. "I might not be coaching these boys in football going forward, but I'm not stepping out of their lives. I want to be there for them and have the opportunity to help them grow."

Monastery of Saint Mary of Pombeiro
Monuments ·
Saint Mary of Pombeiro was one of the most important Benedictine monasteries in the area between the Douro and Minho rivers, and was founded by D. Gomes Echiegues and his wife Gontroda in 1102. The Church, built between the 12th and 13th centuries, features three naves, divided by diaphragm-arches with painted wooden ceilings on the lateral naves.
The original plant of the chancel, rebuilt in the 18th century, was semi-circular, typical of the Romanesque style, as were the still existing apses [secondary chapels]. The main portal capitals are a remarkable example of Romanesque sculpture.
The two tombs with sculpture were part of the funerary centre sheltered in the now vanished galilee, which was linked to the nobility of this territory, including families such as the Sousas or Sousões and the Ribavizelas. In the apses there are two themes of mural painting: one probably representing Saint Blaise and another representing Saint Amarus and Saint Placidus.
The image of the Patron featured in the main retable (the main altar) is possibly a Gothic-style work from between the 14th and 15th centuries. Much was altered between the 16th to 20th centuries: the Church received a set of rococo-style gilded wood, which was worked by the renowned friar José de Santo António Ferreira Vilaça.

Buck Fever Board Game
What's included in the Board Game
Fun With Buck Fever
Advantages of Playing With Buck Fever
Buck Fever is a thrilling and educational game that blends exciting game play with learning. The goal of the game is to make your way through the American Whitetail Deer season while avoiding collision with the hunter's obstacles along the way. Players must navigate treacherous hunting grounds, dodge frustrated hunters and collect their own deer along their path, earning points as they progress towards their goal of becoming a successful whitetail hunter.
The game was developed by two brothers who were looking for an enjoyable way to promote deer hunting education among young, avid outdoors-men or -women. They eventually came up with Buck Fever and it has become an increasingly popular board game in recent years due its unique combination of fun and facts about deer hunting. Each turn, players are challenged to gain critical knowledge about the best tactics for bagging a trophy buck. They draw cards representing potential presents on their hunt such as bad weather, scents and cover-up sprays all of which can help them along their journey. This helps bring awareness to key elements involved in white-tailed deer management while providing an exciting ride down memory lane for experienced whitetailers alike!
The Buck Fever Board Game includes a game board, 4 hunter figures, 6 animal tokens (multi-colored deer) with stands, 20 Danger cards, 48 Scoring cards, 1 wooden dice set (dice for each player and a smaller "Hazard" die), 2 Number cards, and an instruction booklet.
The players move around the game board and try to collect as many buck tokens as possible. When they do so, they take a Scoring card corresponding to the buck token value indicating how many points it is worth. As the game progresses, Danger cards can be drawn from a deck which may cause players to lose some of their bucks or even miss their turn altogether. The Number Cards are used to determine who will go first and control the flow of play throughout the game. Lastly, each player has a wooden dice set that they use to advance on the board when it's their turn. The "Hazard Die" also comes into effect if potential dangers like rivers or thick terrain are encountered during play.
1. Lay out the game board on a flat surface.
2. Shuffle the playing cards and place them face-down in their respective slots on the board.
3. Each player should then choose a color of deer token, which they will use to represent their hunting tag throughout the game. All tokens should be placed off the game board into a pile that's easily accessible during game play.
4. Place all three dice into the can cooler, shaking it up so they are well mixed before each throw. It is recommended to have one person serve as "shooter" for each turn of play to assist in keeping any confusion at bay throughout your turn.
5. Decide who is chosen shooter first " either through random selection or mutually deciding amongst players " and get ready to begin deer hunting!
GAME PLAY:
1. Shooter will select one player who will "call" numbers upon rolling of dice, which requires choosing between two or all three available numbers after each roll.
2. The next roll consists of shooting (can cooler) by shaking dice until all three come to rest; callers must choose from all 3 numbers this time around before shooter gets another turn at tossing the dice). This process is repeated until someone throws a winning combination! When that happens, move that hunter's deer token onto any space reflecting deer points from your total number thrown (1 Buck = 4 Points; 1 Doe = 2 Points).
3. Play continues around in similar fashion with every player getting their chance as caller and shooter continuously until someone has accumulated five deer points, declaring them 0Buck Fever winner!

SPECIAL RULES & TIPS:
• Shooting a Triplets automatically wins you 10 total points (5 Bucks + 5 Does), however only counts towards 7 points towards your total score and cannot be used to win the game outright unless you had previously accumulated enough points via singleton throws in earlier rounds of play!

A Desperate Tatter: The first pair.
Here they are the first completed pair of booties. I still have the ends to work in but I am very happy with how these have turned out. I did learn a lot by making the test bootie and was able to fine tune some of the areas that were difficult for me to work. My sister in NE thought they looked great and has suggest a very bright green for her new grand daughter. So of course I have had to order the thread as I do not have any of that color. While I am waiting for the new order of thread to arrive I am working on a pair in Lizbeth color 1113 Jewels. I am hoping they look manly enough for a boy. I would want his booties to be to pink. So far I am happy with the color and will be anxious to get t his pair done too.
Stopping bye to say thank you for entering my giveaway. Good luck to you in the drawing.
