Last weekend I was back in Yakima, Washington, to dedicate a gymnasium named in my honor at a high school I helped to get started while I was still bishop there. In Rome, the Synod on the Family was beginning, and it helped me to reflect once again on how the church is a family, a special kind of family, sharing Christ's own life. A bishop has a familial relationship to the diocese he serves, and I felt, for those few days in Yakima, back with a family of which I had once been part.
My time as archbishop of Chicago is coming to an end, and my relationship to this archdiocese will change. It will still be my family, but I will be present in a very different way, still to be worked out. One is part of a family not because of what one does but because of the relationships that form through sharing in people's life. As is the case with any family, some days are better than others, but the family bonds hold in the church because Christ is always faithful to us, even when we distance ourselves from him and from those whose life we once shared in his body, the church.
Family members come to know one another in various ways, and I am especially grateful for the archdiocesan councils whose members, over the years, have told me about their life of faith and invited me into their minds and hearts. Some years ago, I started taking notes to write a "letter" with many of these insights, explaining how they have helped me to understand my work as bishop here. While the "letter" won't be written, I now step back from my responsibilities as archbishop with a changed mind and heart because of what so many of you have shared with me over these past 17 and a half years. Recently, I've received a number of letters telling me how I have influenced others in ways I didn't even realize, and that information also helps to fill out the experience of my years as archbishop here. I am grateful.
The life of the church is life in Christ, and that life remains the same no matter who is the bishop or what he does. It does help, however, if the family members help an archbishop work successfully and with good purpose. I am sure that all the faithful of the archdiocese will pray for Archbishop Cupich and work with him to strengthen the mission of the church here. He comes into a vital local church, and he will bring much to it. Let my last request to you, therefore, be to welcome him warmly, for the sake of Christ whom he will represent here as head of the church.
May Christ bless all of us and keep us close to him and to one another in the time ahead. To all of you, many thanks.

Auckland Council Communication →
Public Works Act Quotes
I am currently working on a book that will be a guide to acquisitions under the Public Works Act from a lay-person's point of view. Many of the following quotes will be incorporated into that book that will relay primarily my own experiences but also include comments from other affected property owners.
8/2/10 "It is noted that currently the Waitakere District Plan has a 2.88 metre designation along both sides of the corridor between Edmonton Rd and the motorway interchange. This will need to be uplifted and replaced to reflect the current concept design as it requires a wider designation up to 7 metres." Hussam Abdul-Rassol, Manager : Transport Services WCC
8/2/10 "Public consultation will need to take various forms to ensure the public is fully informed of the Te Atatu Road corridor project. Due to the significant amount of land acquisition required, Council officers anticipate a lengthy consultation process.
Hussam Abdul-Rassol, WCC
30/9/10 WCC Council Meeting Clews/Neeson
"Agree that the Council's preferred option for Te Atatu Road corridor improvements is as outlined in this report."
20/9/11 "Auckland Council has authority to acquire land under the Act and to negotiate compensation for that land. It is responsible for ensuring that compensation is negotiated fairly in the interests of both ratepayers and affected landowners."
AT pamphlet
20/9/11 "The test of value is the price that your land would fetch on the open market." AT pamphlet
20/9/11 "The route along Te Atatu and Edmonton Roads experiences a high level of traffic on a daily basis, and the project's benefits will improve traffic flow."
Mohammed Alsakini, AT
20/9/11 "We have organised a Drop-in Day for property owners so the Auckland Transport project team can answer any questions." Mohammed Alsakini, AT
20/9/11 "It is important for you to note that Auckland Transport will pay a fair market value for the land it acquires and will also reimburse your reasonable legal and valuation costs associated with the acquisition." Mohammed Alsakini, AT
7/10/11 "Ms Hunter says it's too early to say how much Auckland Transport is budgeting for land acquisition." Western Leader
26/10/11 "A drop-in day was held on Saturday 1 October to commence consultation with key stakeholders. About 50 property owners attended the meeting."
AT Business Report
27/10/11 "Formal negotiations, under the provisions of the Public Works Act 1981, are planned to commence in February 2012." Michael Riley, AT
27/10/11 "The time taken for negotiation does largely depend on the property owner's preparedness to negotiate in good faith." Michael Riley, AT
3/11/11 Information Report to HMLB
4/11/11 Sharon Hunter said there would be little or no impact on residents like Osborne. Western Leader?
5/11/11 "What gives AT the right to take my land?
A designation is a provision in a district plan that allows a council to use land in future for a public work or project. It is a signal to landowners and prospective purchasers that the land will one day be needed for a road or similar public work."
14/11/11 "I do not consider there is any reason why Auckland Transport would revisit the decision for construction of cycle lanes on both sides of Te Atatu Road."
Darryl Griffin, Manager Democracy Services, AC
17/11/11 "We will provide you , and your tenants with at least 48 hours advance notice of a site visit." Mohammed Alsakini, AT
17/11/11 "We expect that we will be able to present indicative design options for your property access by 16 December 2011." Mohammed Alsakini, AT
17/11/11 "The accredited supplier will ensure that the compensation negotiated is "fair" both to you, the landowner, and the Crown." Mohammed Alsakini, AT
21/11/11 "ACPL will engage with the landowners in informal negotiation prior to commence the formal process." Mohammed Alsakini, AT
22/11/11 "The results of the consultation will be made available end of November as the close off of the submission period was end of 21 November 2011. The results will be summarised for external parties' use, with individual feedback not supplied due to confidentiality requirements." Mohammed Alsakini, AT
23/11/11 "A Public Open Day was held on Saturday 5 November. AT and NZTA jointly presented the latest design for Te Atatu Road and the motorway interchange. Approximately 185 visitors attended and feedback forms were made available to receive comments from the public on proposed designs or they could make submissions online until 17 November through the project webpage."
9/12/11 "I advise that the blue-shaded area represents the area of land that was originally designated in, I believe, 1986. The blue-shaded area is 2.88 metres deep. More recently in the course of the engineers' developed design, at this position along Te Atatu Rd, additional land beyond the original designation is now needed."
Michael Riley, AT
9/12/11 "It is not necessary to amend the District Plans because the excess land take can be acquired using the PublicWorks Act (PWA) process (through AC). No further designation process will be undertaken as part of this land acquisition exercise for this project." Owena Schuster, AT
9/12/11 "Can you please endeavour to direct all your communications to me in future as your first point of contact as this will help in obtaining prompt responses to you." Owena Schuster, AT
9/12/11 "Auckland Transport as an entity takes responsibility for the external communications of the organisation – any response you get is from the organisation, and does not reflect the personal views of any individual." Owena Schuster, AT
13/12/11 "It is not necessary to amend the District Plans because the excess land take can be acquired using the Public Works Act (PWA) process (through AC), hence, no further designation process will be undertaken as part of this land acquisition exercise." Mohammed Alsakini, AT
16/12/11 "TPOG is concerned that the budget of $4m allocated for property purchase may not be sufficient. As discussed, the if amount of money turns out to be inadequate, then that's a problem for AT, not the property owners."
Roger Wilson, AT
21/12/11 "As you have already been provided with a summary of the information contained in the body of these submissions your request for what is essentially the same information but in a different form is considered to be frivolous (section17(h))
9/1/12 "It is not a statutory requirement that a Council entity must designate land it requires for public work." Roger Blakeley, Chief Planner, AC
9/1/12 "In the current situation Auckland Transport has obviously identified it needs more land for the roading upgrades and has chosen to negotiate directly with affected land owners rather than amend existing designation." Roger Blakeley, AC
9/1/12 "A budget line of $5,067,000 for "Te Atatu Rd corridor improvements" was contained in the transport component of the materials submitted by Auckland Transport to Auckland Council for the 2011-2012 Annual Plan." Roger Wilson, AT
17/1/12 "It is an Auckland Transport decision whether they choose to use the designation process to acquire land for roading projects." Roger Blakeley, AC

3/2/12 "An offer to buy the property outright was declined by you." (Bunkum!)
Linda Holdaway, ACPL

Linda Holdaway
13/2/12 "Auckland Transport Board meetings are not subject to LGOIMA. There is no statutory timeframe that requires Board agendas and papers to be available publicly before meetings." Darryl Griffin, AC
15/2/12 re Complaints System "In my opinion transparency is not a major goal."
19/2/12 "Raised your concerns at Auckland Transport board meeting. Was told Auckland Transport staff are consulting you and other residents."
Mike Lee, AC Councillor Board member, AT Board
28/2/12 "Hi Gary – just a quick note to let you know that we are still working on the new garage/access for you." Linda Holdaway, AT
23/3/12 "We can't change the past so relitigating it is not going to assist with progressing your concerns." Stephen Rainbow, AT
4/4/12 "I see no basis to take any further action." David Warburton, CEO, AT
16/5/12 "You questioned and were reassured that the council would take care of all consents etc required for the garage." Linda Holdaway, ACPL
5/7/12 "The term reasonable costs is included in the Public Works Act to stop the potential for rogue professionals increasing their fees beyond what is reasonable."
Mark Hannan, AT
5/7/12 re front yards becoming less than 3 metres "Under the principle of existing use rights there will be no breach in this case even if the section becomes smaller than current regulations allow." Mark Hannan, AT
6/7/12 "AT has no list of "rogue professionals" as such."
9/7/12 "Arguably choosing to proceed with a valuer who is charging substantially above the "normal" cost, would be a breach of this duty to mitigate loss and the additional costs incurred by the owner would not be recoverable."
Simpson, Grierson for ACPL
11/7/12 "The government does provide a subsidy for the overall project based on broad criteria but it is not contingent on the inclusion or omission of a cycle lane."
Alex Sie, Parliamentary Agent
2/8/12 "Please be assured that Auckland Transport endeavours to act in a fair and transparent manner in its interactions with the public and we can assure you that the owners will not be financially disadvantaged." Len Brown
14/8/12 "As the legal test for existing use rights requires a factual analysis of the factors set out above, it is not possible or appropriate for Auckland Council to give an assurance that existing use rights would apply to all properties affected by any road widening works in Te Atatu. There is a statutory process under section 139A of the RMA whereby persons can seek an existing use certificate that confirms existing use rights." Darryl Griffin, AC
28/9/12 "The writer endeavoured to arrange a property inspection in order to complete the valuation but the landowner withheld his consent to do so." (Bunkum!)
Alan Roberts, Valuer, Roberts McKeown Ltd
9/10/12 "I have sent ACPL and (sic) amended report simply stating that — I was instructed to prepare a roadside valuation." Alan Roberts, Valuer
10/10/12 "The decision to proceed with the project was originally taken by Waitakere Council through the Infrastructure and Works Committee in 3rd February 2010, and then by full Council in 29 Sept 2010."
Doug Snell, Acting Manager Property, AT
10/10/12 "Since Te Atatu Rd represents an important link in the Auckland Regional Cycleway Network, the inclusion of a cycleway as part of this corridor improvement project is required." Doug Snell, AT
10/10/12 "The Local Board has been consulted and kept updated throughout the whole public consultation and design process." Doug Snell, AT
11/10/12 "I believe that best way forward is to put this matter behind us and carry on with your continued cooperation." "It would be very helpful, going forward, if you could provide me with the name of your valuer and solicitor, for my records."
Linda Holdaway, AT
19/10/12 "Thank you for your email of the 17th October with the offer of a suitable viewing time. Unfortunately, because your email was sent after the close of business on the 17th, I did not receive the email until there was insufficient time for the valuer to meet your proposed time." Linda Holdaway, AT
25/10/12 "Apologies for the lack of contact! Earl Gordon has informed me that your complaint is due to be discussed at a Professional Practices Committee meeting tomorrow Friday. He should be in contact with you in due course thereafter."
Deidre Moran, Membership Services Manager, Property Institute of NZ
2/11/12 "Please desist from advising property owners not to reach agreement with AT/ACPL." (Bunkum!) Michael Riley, AT
2/11/12 "Please do not pass on any details of others' negotiated agreements to other residents." (We live in a Democracy!) Michael Riley, AT
13/11/12 "Upon completion of my investigation report, the file will be sent to the Valuer's Registration Board." John Reid, Valuer, Logan Stone Ltd
30/11/12 "I consider the staff have provided you with appropriate responses and will now treat the matter closed." David Warburton, CEO, AT
21/12/12 In response to my request for answers to questions I put to the HMLB on 9 December re the Te Atatu Road widening project.
"Should you wish to proceed please arrange to either forward to us by cheque, or electronically transfer $1,900 to our account." Roger Wilson, AT
22/12/12 "I have read Michael Riley's letter of 2nd November 2012 carefully and in my view I do not believe it is threatening." Lester Levy, Board Chairman, AT
22/12/12 "I would reflect that my experience is that differences of opinion are best resolved by measured and constructive dialogue (face to face)." (I made several offers to meet Lester Levy face to face to no avail.) Lester Levy, AT
22/2/13 "I am very pleased to advise that Jack Burton has been appointed to help Te Atatu residents affected by the Te Atatu Road widening project."
Vanessa Neeson, Chair, HMLB
27/3/13 "We are being requested to serve a notice pursuant to Section 18 of the Public Works Act 1981 to formally invite you to sell the required land to Auckland Council." Linda Holdaway, ACPL
28/3/13 "The local board have had information provided in relation to the project which has been adequate for our non-decision making role." Vanessa Neeson, HMLB
5/4/13 "The request to ACPL to serve a notice subject to Section 18 was a corporate decision, not attributable to any individual Auckland Transport Manager."
Owena Schuster, AT
7/4/13 "I understand that Linda Holdaway has indicated that Auckland Transport is considering serving Section 18 notices under the Public Works Act 1981."
David Rankin, CEO, ACPL
10/4/13 "The evidence before the Board does not enable it to conclude that the Board should order a formal inquiry."
Michelle Doyer, Registrar, Valuers Registration Board
18/4/13 "Your concerns about process to date and the possible use of a S18PWA 1981 Notice of Desire to Acquire should be directed to Council."
Michael Appleyard, Private Secretary for Hon Maurice Williamson
9/5/13 "I would urge you to move forward constructively so that we can resolve matters without recourse to statutory procedures."
Sir John Wells, Chairman ACPL Board

Renter's insurance protects your property from theft, fire and other sudden and unforeseen events. It also provides coverage for damage to others or their property for which you are found to be at fault. No matter if you rent an apartment, condominium or house, you should invest in renter's insurance. While it's not mandatory, you're securing your future financial stability.
People often say, 'my stuff isn't worth insuring,' but it's not about the current value of your property.
Our renter's insurance works on a replacement cost basis "new for old", meaning your 20-year-old couch will be replaced with a brand new one of similar make and quality.
Protect yourself and get back to the same position you were in before crisis struck.
The liability coverage will help protect you if you are being sued for personal injury or property damage — circumstances in which you've been deemed negligent.
Protect yourselves and family members before unforeseen problems arise.
Canadians know that anything can happen these days, and when it does, renter's insurance offers a direct path back to normalcy.
If you're forced from your rental location due to an insurable loss, a portion of the renter's insurance policy (additional living expense) provides coverage for your increased cost of living because of being displaced.
We also offer optional coverage for natural disasters, earthquakes and flood among others.
When purchasing this policy for yourself, you gain the advantage of insurance experts who know and understand renter's insurance.
When making a claim, have receipts and photos of valuables available to show ownership of items.
The dollar amount you regularly spend on food in a month could surge if you find yourself in a hotel without a kitchen after an insured loss. Extra fees, including meals out, could be covered as part of the renter's insurance policy's additional living expense coverage.
Traveling the world? Renter's insurance will cover your personal belongings wherever you go. If you're temporarily renting a location while on vacation, your renter's insurance policy still applies.
Your landlord's insurance will only provide coverage for their own property. Your property will not be covered. That's why having your own renter's policy is critical.

Watch This Vintage Video of NBA Star Vernon Maxwell Punching a Blazers Fan, With Commentary by, Uh, Jerry Seinfeld
And stick around for bonus footage of Paul Allen shredding the guitar.
"Mad Max" Vernon Maxwell at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, about to strike.
May 21, 2020 at 5:57 pm PDT
Did the end of The Last Dance leave you jonesing for more vintage NBA footage? Are you also starved for video of professional basketball players smacking the hell out of mouthy fans?
Well, have we got the YouTube clip for you!
The backstory: On Feb. 7, 1995, the Houston Rockets visited Portland for a game against the Trail Blazers at Memorial Coliseum. In the third quarter, with his team getting blown out, Houston shooting guard Vernon Maxwell started beefing with someone in the crowd.
After getting subbed out of the game, Maxwell—who already had a reputation as a hothead—casually walked into the stands and, with no one making much of an attempt to stop him, laid the smack down right across dude's face.
The victim, a thirtysomething Wilson High School graduate named Steve George, ended up suing Maxwell and the Rockets for a total of $4.5 million. The lawsuit was settled out of court, but Maxwell was suspended for 10 games and fined $20,000, and the incident cemented his legacy as a "problem player." (For what it's worth, Maxwell alleged George was yelling racist epithets at him, though news reports from the time could not corroborate the claim.)
The whole dustup was caught on camera, in gloriously clear audio—Maxwell can be heard shouting, "Kiss my ass, motherfucker!" right in front of a little kid sitting courtside—and makes the social media rounds every few years as a predecessor to the much more chaotic Malice in the Palace melee from 2004.
Less shared, though, is a segment on the incident allegedly from NBA Inside Stuff. (There's an awful lot of uncensored swearing for a show that aired on NBC at the time.) That footage isn't new, either—the clip has been on YouTube since 2016—but it achieved newfound virality this week when it was shared on Twitter by podcaster Adam Howes:
This NSFW video of Vernon Maxwell casually walking into the stands and smacking fire out of a heckling fan while Bill Gates watches and Jerry Seinfeld provides the 'Inside Stuff', is the oddest thing you'll see on the internet today. pic.twitter.com/GhOLqw3TSz
— Adam Howes (@Howsito) May 20, 2020
In a deeply '90s twist, Jerry Seinfeld was also at the game for some reason. (Bill Gates was there, too, seen rocking nervously in his seat. Gates regularly attended games as a guest of tech frenemy Paul Allen.) The comedian—who apparently spent a good deal of his glory years loitering around NBA locker rooms—offered up some commentary to the assembled media, while wearing a Blazers hat he apparently didn't have on during the first half of the game.
"I wanted to see which way the game was going," he says. "I've got 16 hats in my case here. Whoever's on top, I've got the hat."
As if that wasn't enough, the clip also contains bonus footage of late Blazers and Seattle Seahawks owner Allen shredding some "Voodoo Child" on electric guitar. (He's better than the Beatles, y'know—Quincy Jones said so.) That part of the video can be viewed here. We'd warn the language makes it "not safe for work," but we're guessing you're not at work at right now.
The NBA is currently considering relaunching its suspended season at Disney World, but there's really no reason to rush—just give us another 10-part documentary on Maxwell punching this guy and another 50 hours on Malice, and we'll all be set until October.

Summer Squash is darn near becoming one of my all time favorite vegetables!
I don't remember eating Summer Squash growing up, although we did eat a lot of other varieties of squash! My love affair with this simple to prepare and yummy to consume little, yellow vegetable began after my husband Dave and I were married!
I learned to make Summer Squash from my mother-in-law (thanks Mom!), who learned to make it from her mother-in-law (thanks Grandma!)! The recipe is quick, simple, forgiving, healthy, delicious--- and super inexpensive!
Ingredients: Summer Squash (at least a pound), butter, water and salt.
Begin with clean squash, and then begin slicing each vegetable into quarter inch thick slices.
Here, I've sliced about three pounds! I LOVE that Summer Squash sells for about $1/pound, which makes this an easily affordable side dish!
Add about 1/3 cup - 1/2 cup of water per pound of sliced squash.
Then, according to the poundage of your squash, add a few pats of butter. I added a little less than a quarter of a stick of butter for these three pounds. The butter taste should not be overwhelming, its more of just a hint!
Over low-medium heat, allow the squash slices to heat thoroughly and become translucent! In our family, I get the squash prepped and on the stove, and then my husband will go outside and start grilling dinner. This recipe for Summer Squash is kind of a 'start, walk away, forget about... remember and then enjoy' kind of side dish! The squash will be perfectly tender when dinner is done grilling!
Usually, I will add a dash of salt to the Summer Squash after it is done cooking! Mmm! I can't wait for my squash plants to start producing!
Do YOU eat Summer Squash? Does this recipe sound tempting to YOU?
I don't think I've ever tried summer squash that way, but just about anything with butter tastes good. Wonder if it would work with zucchini.
I definitely want to try Ellen's recipe above.
My favorite way to cook it is sliced with a little garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper and a slice of butter...wrap it in foil and throw it on the grill for a few minutes...cooks quickly. So yummy!
I love summer squash. The rest of my family, not so much. I cook it a few different ways depending on the rest of the meal.
3. Sliced in half the long way and grilled with a little cracked pepper and sea salt.
I like your recipe and think I will try it next week.
Yes, I make it just like you do as well as a couple of different versions. I usually add onion. I sometimes mix in zucchini for a nice color combo. My mom used to add onion, tomato sauce/tomato, potato chunks and oregano for a yummy Italian veggie stew.
Oh my goodness! I'm in LOVE with all of these recipes!
I usually tend to just grill it along with the remainder of dinner on the grill - and I can't get enough of it either. I'm going to try your recipe and some of the others, I love squash so much-I'm getting excited for them to be in season!!
I make summer squash like this too. We add zucchini, cook it in heated olive oil in a pan. Then I add pepper, Mrs. Dash and Parmesan cheese. I can't wait for my garden to start producing for me!

Assassin's Creed will be hiding in a hay bale for 2019
A few years back, Ubisoft put the yearly release schedule of Assassin's Creed on ice. Wanting to focus its efforts on improving each entry, the announcement was a welcome reprieve for many fans after a few years of lackluster entries. Then came the announcement of Assassin's Creed Odyssey less than a year after Assassin's Creed Origins and everyone assumed Ubisoft was full of it. Turns out Odyssey happened mostly because Ubisoft had two studios working on new entries, as the series will be skipping a major entry in 2019.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed to GameSpot that a "fully fledged" Assassin's Creed title will not be releasing in 2019. In his words, "It's just because the team were working separately, so we have two games now, one year after the other. But next year you're not going to have a fully fledged one." This is unlikely to mean a spin-off is coming, though, as Ubisoft is dedicated to providing more content for Odyssey over the course of 2019.
Guillemot continued, "What you'll have is lots of content coming on [Assassin's Creed Odyssey]. The team really want to give, on a regular basis, some new possibilities for play, so when you get [Odyssey] this year, you're going to get in for a couple of years, actually." It seems like time off from the franchise has revitalized interest in the series, as fans have been flocking to Origins en masse.
"[The time] gave the team the possibility to really bring what they wanted to," Guillemot explained. "The community has been responding very well to it and when I see what we are bringing with Odyssey I know that the community that got back in with Origins will be amazed." Hopefully, that quality shows through in the end.

Q: During SELECT determine number of related rows (0 - n) in another table ** Edit **
I used the query from the first answer, but eventually had to modify it because It wouldn't return more than one survey without any sessions. I finally worked out this query:
(SELECT i.id AS id, i.title AS title, c.title AS ctitle, c.color AS ccolor,
                     i.active AS active, i.length AS length, i.redirect AS redirect,
                     COUNT(s.sid) AS number
                FROM survey_info i
                LEFT JOIN survey_sessions s ON s.sid = i.id
                INNER JOIN survey_category c ON i.category = c.id
                WHERE s.sid IS NOT NULL
                GROUP BY s.sid)
                UNION ALL
                (SELECT i.id AS id, i.title AS title, c.title AS ctitle, c.color AS ccolor,
                       i.active AS active, i.length AS length, i.redirect AS redirect,
                       0 AS number
                FROM survey_info i
                LEFT JOIN survey_sessions s ON s.sid = i.id
                INNER JOIN survey_category c ON i.category = c.id
                WHERE s.sid IS NULL)
                ORDER BY 2

Which, to explain, Takes the query from below, and returns ONLY surveys that have sessions (have been taken) and then uses a UNION ALL clause to combine those results with a SELECT that retrieves ONLY surveys that have no sessions (have not been taken.) And finally, it orders the combined results by the second column (survey title)
I hope that this helps someone else out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been working on a survey program that lets people create and administer surveys. Yesterday I had asked a question about storing results and realized that I had been doing it all wrong (create additional tables for each survey shudder)
I have a new table structure now that works much better and keeps me at 6 tables at all times.
I have a new dilemma that I've worked on all night, and hope someone can point me in the right direction.
My tables are now as follows:
survey_info
id(bigint)        PK
title(varchar)
category(bigint)
length(bigint)
active(tinyint)

survey_category
id(bigint)        PK
title(varchar)
color(varchar)

survey_sessions
id                PK
timestamp(bigint)

I was originally using the following SQL to gather the surveys and their number of sessions(times taken)
SELECT i.id AS id, i.title AS title, c.title AS ctitle, c.color AS ccolor,
       i.active AS active, i.length AS length, i.redirect AS redirect,
       COUNT(s.sid) AS number
FROM survey_info i, survey_category c, survey_sessions s
WHERE i.category = c.id AND s.sid = i.id
GROUP BY s.sid

However, as you may have guessed, this means that whenever I create a new survey (that has never been taken) it won't show up in this list, because there are no entries in the survey_session table for it.
Is it possible to use the conditional statements in MySQL to return a 0 in place of "COUNT(s.sid) AS number" when there are no rows in survey_sessions? I had read a lot about LEFT JOIN's but I didn't think that they would work since there won't be anything to connect the new survey to the survey_sessions table.

A: Here is your query rewritten to LEFT JOIN onto survey_sessions. You should be able to check easily enough if it works for you.
SELECT i.id AS id, i.title AS title, c.title AS ctitle, c.color AS ccolor,
    i.active AS active, i.length AS length, i.redirect AS redirect,
    COUNT(s.sid) AS number
FROM survey_info i
INNER JOIN survey_category c ON i.category = c.id
LEFT JOIN survey_sessions s ON s.sid = i.id
GROUP BY s.sid

Do any of you use your jet boats in salt water very much? Should I avoid salt water? Curious?
I know one of the members here, RobbieLex, boats on Florida's salt water. You can check out some pics of his Speedster 200 in the water here, http://seadoosportbo...owtopic_56.html. Maybe he can shed some light on this as I myself have never put my doo in salt water.
most seadooos in the uk are used in salt water as we dont have too many lakes and none as big as in the us and canada - but these boats are fitted with sacrificial anodes so there should be no problems.
riding the swells offshore can be a rush in a doo, especially when you open it up. There is no trouble runnin in the salt just need to flush and use some kind of crosion block to spray down the engine and pump. Have fun and don't be scared of a little salt its just a little more work when you get home. Here in florida if you live on the coast you just got to doo it.
because there is no trim adjustment do you find porpoising a problem when dooing in swell or does it ride fairly well?
Hi I use my sportster 4tec 2004 in salt water with no problems. I also keep it in the water all summer still with no problems so far. My dealer said with the closed loop I shouldn't have a problem . We shall see. I also had the bottom painted wasn't to happy about that because I thought i would lose some speed. I clocked on my gps top speed with the wind almost 47 mph and when I was taking it out for winterizing one final run I clocked 45-46 mph. I will run the same test this year.
Also I am curios about taking this boat in the ocean if anyone has experience please tell me about it.
took my sporster in the ocean this weekend and got some big air off the swells, was fun but a little scarry too. You could easily capsize if you got it sideways. I was surprised it really flies like 8 to 10 feet of air. Was fun but not something you want to do all day or every weekend. Make sure the baot is empty because anything on board is going to fly out. Happy flying!

Kinzinger on Meijer defeat: 'Democrats own that'
By Tina Shaw On Aug 3, 2022
(The Hill) – Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) blamed Democrats on CNN's "New Day" Wednesday after moderate GOP Rep. Peter Meijer (Mich.) was defeated in his primary election by a Trump-endorsed candidate.
Meijer, who voted to impeach former President Trump after the 2021 Capitol attack, lost to Trump-backed challenger John Gibbs on Tuesday, after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads supporting Gibbs.
Meijer's race was among a number of primaries in which the Democratic campaign arms spent money on Trump-backed candidates, to make it easier for Democrats to win the general election.
"I mean, the DCCC needs to be ashamed of themselves," Kinzinger said.
"If Peter's opponent wins and goes on in November to win, the Democrats own that. Congratulations," he continued. "Here's the thing, don't keep coming to me asking where are all the good Republicans that defend Democracy and then take your donors' money to spend half a million dollars promoting one of the worst election deniers that's out there."
Although some Democrats have spoken out against the DCCC's strategy, top Democratic officials such as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) came out in favor of the tactic.
"The political decisions that are made out there are made in furtherance of our winning the election," Pelosi said last week, "because we think the contrast between Democrats and Republicans — as they are now — is so drastic that we have to win."
Meijer's defeat is another win for Trump, who has made a midterm priority out of getting Republicans out of office who publicly opposed him following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Meijer said Democrats disregarded "certain moral limits" in politics when backing his opponent.
"If successful, Republican voters will be blamed if any of these candidates are ultimately elected, but there is no doubt Democrats' fingerprints will be on the weapon," Meijer said in an essay posted online Monday.

Online learning for social justice and inclusion: The role of technological tools in graduate student learning

The purpose of this paper is to examine the online pedagogical practices and technological tools that influenced the attainment of skills and knowledge associated with professional multicultural competence in a graduate student online course focused on social justice and inclusion.
This qualitative case study includes a total of ten student participants. Two theoretical orientations guide the study. Mishra and Koehler's (2006) model of technological pedagogical content knowledge is provided to understand the reciprocal relationship between content, pedagogy, knowledge and technology in online learning environments. Critical digital pedagogy (Morris and Stommel, 2018) provides insights into challenging the neutrality of technological tools and focuses on relational capacities of online learning environments. Initial coding by each researcher was reduced to thematic codes focused on technological tools, course content delivery, asynchronous and synchronous pedagogical strategies.
Data analysis revealed technological tools such as discussion boards, video, video conferencing and synchronous opportunities influence student engagement and learning. Further, findings reveal that the nature of online education itself – specifically asynchronocity – functions as both a distraction and possibility for online learning in multicultural education courses. Students in this study revealed the value of opportunities to engage synchronously in online learning environments. Instruction without such opportunities was disadvantageous to the learning of skills and knowledge associated with multicultural competence.
The study is not generalizable to the experiences of all online students and only provides a small cross-section of online graduate students enrolled in a required diversity course at one institution.
There is a dearth of research focused on teaching courses in diversity, equity, social justice and inclusion in fully online environments, a gap this study begins to fill. The study also enhances the authors' understanding of graduate student education.

This research provides accounting-ethics authors and administrators with a benchmark for accounting-ethics research. While Bernardi and Bean (2010) considered publications in business-ethics and accounting's top-40 journals this study considers research in eight accounting-ethics and public-interest journals, as well as, 34 business-ethics journals. We analyzed the contents of our 42 journals for the 25-year period between 1991 through 2015. This research documents the continued growth (Bernardi & Bean, 2007) of accounting-ethics research in both accounting-ethics and business-ethics journals. We provide data on the top-10 ethics authors in each doctoral year group, the top-50 ethics authors over the most recent 10, 20, and 25 years, and a distribution among ethics scholars for these periods. For the 25-year timeframe, our data indicate that only 665 (274) of the 5,125 accounting PhDs/DBAs (13.0% and 5.4% respectively) in Canada and the United States had authored or co-authored one (more than one) ethics article.

The significance of Caribbeanist Anthropology: A bibliographic history

Anthropology was a late‐comer to the Caribbean and only after World War II did the study of Caribbean culture and societies become less exceptional. Early in this century when anthropology was first making itself over as an ethnographic science, anthropologists concentrated on tribal peoples. For most of the post‐Columbian era, the Caribbean region, with a few minor exceptions, was without indigenous tribal societies. Even after anthropology turned its attention to the study of peasantries, Caribbean peasantries were ignored in favor of more stable and tradition‐oriented peasant societies in other parts of Latin America. When anthropologists began to study Caribbean peoples in a more serious and systematic fashion, they found that they had to develop new concepts to explain the variation, flexibility, and heterogeneity that characterized regional culture. These concepts have had a significant impact on social and cultural theory and on the broader contemporary dialogue about cultural diversity and multiculturalism.

IN accordance with our promise, we have collected a few notes concerning the new boroughs to be formed next year out of the existing London parishes, which will perhaps be found useful by those who have written to us for information. The Commissioners under the Act will, we are informed, commence their local enquiries in October, and the particulars given in the accompanying table and map will enable provincial librarians to follow the course of the inquest with comparative ease. The map shows in a rough manner the position of the library movement in London at the present moment, the shaded portion representing boroughs or parts of boroughs which have provided libraries, the unshaded areas representing boroughs or old parishes which have not yet adopted the Acts. We do not propose to consider the working of the London Government Act, save as regards its effect upon public libraries. At present 39 parishes or districts (including Penge, South Hornsey, and St. Paul's, Covent Garden) have adopted the Acts, and of these thirty‐four have established libraries and appointed librarians. As the new Act establishes twenty‐eight boroughs (excluding Penge and the City), and some of these contain several of the old areas which already have libraries, it follows that the Library Authorities will have to be considerably reduced. Our tables show this at a glance. Instead of thirty‐nine Library Authorities, there will only be twenty required ; consequently some great changes may be expected. It appears from the Act (Sections 16 [d] and 29 [4] ) that the settlement of the provisions affecting libraries and the transference of officers will form part of the scheme to be prepared by the Commissioners. Thus it is possible that a scheme may determine whether or not the libraries are to be extended over the whole of a borough only partially provided, and how many responsible officers are to be appointed in each department. It does not follow that the Commissioners will appoint any officer, but it appears that they must fix the number of officers, leaving the Borough Councils to make appointments and settle compensation. Numerous guesses have been made as to what will happen to the libraries. Some are of opinion that the existing arrangements will not be disturbed, and that the libraries will be carried on by their present staff, directed by a district sub‐committee, responsible to the Library Committee of the Council. Others think that all officers will be treated alike, and that one responsible head will be appointed for each department, as in all municipal boroughs, the others to be compensated as provided by the Act. Should this latter plan be adopted, the number of public librarians in London will be reduced from thirty‐four to twenty, and thus at least fourteen librarians will have to face the somewhat serious position of loss of office. The compensation will, to some extent, no doubt, remedy the evil, but even a liberal provision of this kind will scarcely be a salve for the absolute loss of a congenial occupation. Of course, it has to be remembered that most of the Vestry Clerks, for certain, and, in all likelihood, many of the Medical Officers and Surveyors in affected boroughs, will be similarly dealt with, so that a vast amount of disturbance among London municipal officers will be one of the immediate consequences of the Act. It is not for us to forecast the decisions of the Commissioners : these will be for future consideration. But it is quite evident that they have a very difficult task before them. We shall report from time to time the progress of the enquiries, as very great interest is being manifested in the impending changes by librarians in London and all over the country.

Q: Can I use ApplicationContext to log events instead of Activity context for facebook app events? I am using facebook sdk to track app installs and log events.I have 4 activities in my app. According to the documentation, I am activating and deactivating in every activity.
public class MyActivity extends Activity {

 private FacebookSingleton fb = FacebookSingleton.getInstance();

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

   //some event occurred
    Bundle params = new Bundle();
    params.putString("SEARCH QUERY", query);
    fb.trackEventForFb("PRODUCT SEARCH", params);
 }

 @Override
   protected void onResume() {
   super.onResume();
   AppEventsLogger.activateApp(this);
 }

 @Override
   protected void onPause() {
   super.onPause();
   AppEventsLogger.deactivateApp(this);
}

public class FacebookSingleton {

private static MyApplication appInstance;
private static FacebookSingleton instance;

private FacebookSingleton() {
 };
public static void setupFb(MyApplication myAppInstance) {
    if (instance == null) {
        instance = new FacebookSingleton();
        appInstance = myAppInstance;
    }
}

public void trackFacebookEvent(String event,Bundle parameters) {
    AppEventsLogger logger = AppEventsLogger.newLogger(appInstance);
    logger.logEvent(event, parameters);
}

And this is my application
public class MyApplication extends Application {

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

    FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(this);
    FacebookSingleton.setupFb(this);

 }
}

When I log events, can I create a singleton and pass that context instead of using activity context to log events like the code aboce? Or do I need to pass the activity context only according to the documentation?

A: It will work, but you may not get the full information. For certain events we will try to get things like the Activity name from the context. It's guarded so that if the Context is not an Activity, it will not fail, but you may not get the full information passed along.

Chelsea should not regret selling De Bruyne, Lukaku and Mo Salah – John Terry
Posted by Ojo Olayiwola A.
Former Chelsea skipper John Terry has warned his former side not to have regrets over selling Romelu Lukaku, Mohamed Salah and Kevin de Bruyne.
The three players are now making rounds across Europe brilliantly at their respective clubs. And, of course, the Blues are getting a bit stick for their lack of foresight in letting the players leave for tangible reasons.
Terry – who left Chelsea in the summer for Championship side Aston Villa – though, insists that there is little to think about, given that the trio players didn't do that well during their time at the Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are one of William Hill's Premier League betting market – Top 4 to finish the current season below Manchester City.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the former England captain was asked if Chelsea would have done differently in hindsight. He replied by saying: "Not really, because at the time they didn't make our team stronger.
"Let's not forget we were one of the best teams probably the Premier League has ever seen, in the early days when they arrived. So, they were coming into one of the best sides which was even more difficult.
"When they come in, can they make a big enough impact to sustain and keep their place?
"No, it's very difficult to do."
The Blues are now thought to be after Southampton center back Virgil van Dijk. But Terry has his doubts over the Dutchman getting into Chelsea's starting lineup under Antonio Conte and doesn't think the west London club should slap £60m on the player who's believe to be on Arsenal and Liverpool's radar according to latest Arsenal News.
"If you look at Liverpool, he certainly goes into the starting line-up," he noted.
"Arsenal, the same. Chelsea, he makes their squad better. Man City, he goes into that starting XI. Same at Manchester United.
"I think he goes into all those squads and makes them better.
"If they are demanding £60m, if I were Chelsea, I would be saying more like £55m if he's not getting in their starting XI."

Webinar: Transforming the Face of Unpaid Care Work
Joanne Crawford from the Individual Deprivation Measure team at IWDA will talk about the importance of including time use and care work in measuring multidimensional poverty as part of a webinar on 'Transforming the face of unpaid care work through redistribution'.
The webinar, hosted by ActionAid, will take place on Friday 23 November, 10.00 – 11.30 GMT / 21.00-22.30 AEDT. Download the flyer at the link below. To register, click the download link below and follow the instructions.
Jo will share learning from the Individual Deprivation Measure (IDM) program about measuring time use and work (paid and unpaid) as part of an individual-level gender-sensitive measure of multidimensional poverty. She will outline how the IDM helps to reveal links between time, gendered roles and responsibilities for unpaid care work, and circumstances in other IDM dimensions, including water, sanitation, energy/fuel, voice and violence, to support effective action on related priorities and measure the impact of initiatives.
She will also share a tool, the Floating Coconut, developed from participatory research with communities in Melanesia*, which supports conversations about the economic and social value of unpaid care work in communities: who does what and why, overall labour burden, and opportunities for and benefits of redistributing unpaid care work for individuals and communities.
*The University of Western Sydney, Macquarie University and IWDA, in partnership with Fiji National University, Union Aid Abroad APHEDA (Solomon Islands), Live & Learn Environmental Education (Solomon Islands) and Women's Action for Change (Fiji) undertook research (2011-2013) to track the impacts of economic change for women and men in Melanesian communities. The research was funded by an Australian Development Research Award and informed development of a range of tools and resources to help track the impact of economic change on women and men in local economies. The tools including the Floating Coconut poster and have since been used by a number of other organisations in a range of settings to support work linked to women's economic empowerment.

Most of this material comes from the Holy Communion and the Visitation of the Sick, with a few additions from earlier or later Prayer Books. There is much more here than I ever need. Too much and people get befuddled, but though the prayers are long and demanding, they carry great power in their sonorous and ancient phrases. I find it better to have as much as possible to hand, from which to choose, rather than too little, which then needs ad lib expanding.
For many, even the most faithful members of the Church of England, the Last Rites carry such an aura of mystery that they are too often avoided; or remembered too late, "It would have been nice. I wish we had; but we didn't want to bother you…" Perhaps these texts might make it easier to know what to expect, and why they matter.
The simple ceremonies, usually at the bedside of the dying person, with close family or friends gathered round, offer a sort of formalized history of the person's spiritual life, a recapitulation of their complicated, muddled pilgrimage of redemption. Not obvious? I explain what we are doing and why, before I begin each section, and (?) it seems to make sense and carry meaning, even for those who are not church-goers.
Of course, there is much modification according to circumstances, and in my experience it is relatively uncommon for the dying person to be sufficiently conscious to receive communion, hence the rubric, which I sometimes explain and sometimes not.
There is something here about the dignity of a human life as it draws to the close, of the great calling we all share to live as a child of God. With all the current debates over the new atheism and assisted suicide, there is a great deal to be said for increasing the understanding and practice of the Last Rites.
O FATHER of mercies, and God of all comfort, our only help in time of need, we fly unto thee for succour in behalf of this thy servant, here lying under thy hand in great weakness of body. We know, O Lord, that there is no word impossible with thee; and that, if thou wilt, thou canst even yet raise him up, and grant him a longer continuance amongst us. Yet, forasmuch as in all appearance the time of his dissolution draweth near, so fit and prepare him, we beseech thee, against the hour of death, that after his departure hence in peace, and in thy favour, his soul may be received into thine everlasting kingdom, through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, thine only Son, our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
Answer All this I steadfastly believe.
And dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church; the Communion of Saints; the Remission of sins; the Resurrection of the flesh; and everlasting life after death?
O MOST merciful God, who, according to the multitude of thy mercies, dost so put away the sins of those who truly repent, that thou rememberest them no more: open thine eye of mercy upon this thy servant, who most earnestly desireth pardon and forgiveness. Renew in him (most loving Father) whatsoever hath been decayed by the fraud and malice of the devil, or by his own carnal will and frailness; preserve and continue him in the unity of the Church; consider his contrition, accept his tears, assuage his pain, as shall seem to thee most expedient for him. And forasmuch as he putteth his full trust only in thy mercy, impute not unto him his former sins, but strengthen him with thy blessed Spirit; and, when thou art pleased to take him hence, take him unto thy favour, through the merits of thy most dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
OUR Lord Jesus Christ, who hath left power to his Church to absolve all sinners who truly repent and believe in him, of his great mercy forgive thee thine offences: and by his authority committed to me, @ I absolve thee from all thy sins, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
As with this visible oil thy body outwardly is anointed: so our heavenly Father, almighty God, grant of his infinite goodness, that thy soul inwardly may be anointed with the Holy Ghost, who is the spirit of all strength, comfort, relief and gladness.
Who also vouchsafe mercifully to grant unto thee spiritual strength, by his holy spirit, to withstand and overcome all temptations and assaults of thine adversary, that in no wise he prevail against thee, but that thou mayest have perfect victory and triumph against the devil, sin and death, through Christ our Lord; who by his death hath overcomed the Prince of death, and with the Father and the Holy Ghost evermore liveth and reigneth God, world without end. Amen.
We do not presume to come to this thy table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy table, but thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
[BEHOLD, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world; blessed are they that are called to his supper.
But if a man, by reason of extremity of sickness or by any other just impediment cannot receive the Sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, the Curate shall instruct him that if he do truly repent him of his sins, and steadfastly believe that Jesus Christ hath suffered death upon the Cross for him, and shed his Blood for his redemption, earnestly remembering the benefits he hath thereby, and giving him hearty thanks therefore; he doth eat and drink the Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ profitably to his soul's health, although he do not receive the Sacrament with his mouth.
O SAVIOUR of the world, who by thy cross and precious blood hast redeemed us: save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.
THE Almighty Lord, who is a most strong tower to all them that put their trust in him, to whom all things in heaven, in earth and under the earth, do bow and obey, be now and evermore thy defence; and make thee know and feel, that there is none other Name under heaven given to man, in whom, and through whom, thou mayest receive health and salvation, but only the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
O ALMIGHTY God, with whom do live the spirits of the just made perfect, after they are delivered from their earthly prisons: We humbly commend the soul of this thy servant, our dear brother, into thy hands, as into the hands of a faithful Creator, and most merciful Saviour; most humbly beseeching thee that it may be precious in thy sight.
Wash it, we pray thee, in the blood of that immaculate Lamb, that was slain to take away the sins of the world; that whatsoever defilements it may have contracted in the midst of this passing world, through the lusts of the flesh or the wiles of Satan, being purged and done away, it may be presented pure and without spot before thee.
And teach us who survive, in this and other like daily spectacles of mortality, to see how frail and uncertain our own condition is; and so to number our days, that we may seriously apply our hearts to that holy and heavenly wisdom, whilst we live here, which may in the end bring us to life everlasting; through the merits of Jesus Christ, thine only Son our Lord. Amen.
GO upon thy journey from this world, O Christian soul, in the name of God the Father, who created you; in the name of the God the Son, who died for you; in the name of God the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies you.
May the Lord Jesus Christ come to greet you, with angels and archangels, prophets and patriarchs, apostles and martyrs, and all the saints in heaven; and may your portion this day be in peace, and your dwelling in the heavenly Jerusalem.
UNTO God's gracious mercy and protection we commit thee. The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. The Lord make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And the blessing @ of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, rest upon thee, now and for ever. Amen.

Jeffrey Epstein had vast trove of lewd photos of young-looking girls, prosecutors say
Posted 4:28 pm, July 8, 2019, by CNN Wire
NEW YORK — Federal prosecutors in New York unsealed a criminal indictment Monday charging multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein with having operated a sex trafficking ring in which he sexually abused dozens of underage girls, allegations that have circulated around the politically connected businessman for years.
According to the indictment, between 2002 and 2005, Epstein ran a trafficking enterprise in which he paid hundreds of dollars in cash to girls as young as 14 to have sex with him at his Upper East Side home and his estate in Palm Beach, worked with employees and associates to lure the girls to his residences and paid some of his victims to recruit other girls for him to abuse.
"In this way, Epstein created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit, often on a daily basis," Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey Berman said in a statement Monday.
Epstein, 66, was arrested Saturday night at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey aboard his private jet upon returning from Paris.
Later that evening, federal agents executing a search warrant of Epstein's mansion in New York City seized a "vast trove" of lewd photographs of young-looking women or girls, prosecutors said in a court filing.
He is charged with one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors. He faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted of the charges, which carry no mandatory minimum sentences.
Epstein, wearing navy prison garb and fluorescent orange sneakers, pleaded not guilty to the charges in Manhattan federal court on Monday afternoon during one of two proceedings.
US District Court Judge Richard Berman ordered that Epstein's bail hearing postponed until July 15 to allow his defense lawyers time to file a written bail proposal.
The well-connected hedge fund manager previously evaded similar charges when he secured a non-prosecution deal with federal prosecutors in Miami. Instead of facing federal charges, Epstein pleaded guilty to two state prostitution charges in 2008 and served just 13 months in prison. He also registered as a sex offender and paid restitution to the victims identified by the FBI.
But that arrangement has come under intense scrutiny as the result of a Miami Herald investigation that examined how it was handled by then-US Attorney Alexander Acosta, who now serves as labor secretary in President Donald Trump's Cabinet.
And on Monday, Epstein's attorneys said in court that the non-prosecution agreement would constitute the centerpiece of their defense.
"To us, this indictment is essentially a do-over," an attorney for Epstein, Reid Weingarten, said. "This is the very stuff that was investigated by the feds in Florida."
The Herald investigation said that Acosta gave Epstein the "deal of a lifetime" despite a federal investigation identifying 36 underage victims. The agreement, the Herald said, "essentially shut down an ongoing FBI probe" and further granted immunity to "any potential co-conspirators" in the case.
In February, a federal judge in Florida ruled that the Department of Justice broke the law by failing to confer with Epstein's victims about the agreement.
At a news conference Monday, prosecutor Berman and FBI Assistant Director in Charge William F. Sweeney Jr. cited the Miami Herald's reporting last November in helping to make the case.
"I will say that we were assisted by some excellent investigative journalism," Berman said.
"When the facts presented themselves — as Mr. Berman hinted at — through investigative journalist work, we moved on it," Sweeney said.
New York federal prosecutors were able to bring their case despite the non-prosecution agreement, Berman said, because that agreement applies only to the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida.
"While the charged conduct is from a number of years ago, the victims — then children and now young women — are no less entitled to their day in court," Berman said.
More details from the indictment
The court document unsealed Monday describes a predatory pattern in which girls were taken to a room in Epstein's New York mansion to perform "massages."
The girls were instructed by him or his associates to perform such duties nude or partially nude, according to the indictment, and Epstein would escalate the encounter to "include one or more sex acts."
"Epstein typically would also masturbate during these sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he masturbated, and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with sex toys," the indictment alleges.
Epstein knew that the girls were underage, according to court filings, in part because some of the girls told him their age.
The indictment also implicates some of Epstein's employees. One person referred to as "Employee-1" called girls who had previously been lured into encounters with Epstein to arrange future visits to his New York residence.
When Epstein would travel by private jet from New York to Palm Beach, an employee or associate would "ensure that minor victims were available for encounters upon his arrival in Florida," according to the indictment.
Epstein or his associates would pay each girl a sum in cash, and if a girl lured others to Epstein's residences, he would pay both the "victim-recruiter" and the new girl hundreds of dollars, according to the indictment.
The indictment does not name any alleged victims, referring to them only as "Minor Victim-1," "Minor Victim-2," and "Minor Victim-3."
"The alleged behavior shocks the conscience," Berman said. Describing Epstein's alleged scheme to lure girls to his residences and in turn coerce those girls to lure others, Berman said the tactic "allowed Epstein to create an ever-expanding web of new victims."
Prosecutors argue against bail
During court proceedings Monday, prosecutors argued repeatedly against granting Epstein bail.
"He is extraordinarily wealthy, mobile and unattached to the southern district of New York," Assistant US Attorney Alex Rossmiller said.
In a memo filed to the court, prosecutors outlined the scope of Epstein's vast wealth to argue that he has the means to flee the country and escape prosecution, noting that he not only has homes in Manhattan, Palm Beach, New Mexico and Paris — with his Upper East Side townhouse alone worth $77 million — but also owns a private island in the US Virgin Islands.
He also has three US passports, owns at least 15 vehicles and has access to two private jets, according to the memo.
"He is a man of nearly infinite means, your honor," Rossmiller told Judge Henry Pitman.
The prosecutor also pointed out what he described as Epstein's brazenness and willingness to flout the law. He specifically cited the trove of photos that were seized during the search of his house on Saturday, some of which were discovered in a locked safe along with compact discs with hand-written labels that read, "Young [Name] + [Name]," "Misc nudes 1," and "Girl pics nude."
And he said that when officials entered Epstein's Manhattan home on Saturday, they found "the massage room was still set up in the same way it was 15 years ago, with a massage table and sex paraphernalia."
"Your honor," Rossmiller said, "This is not an individual who has left his past behind."
Weingarten, one of Epstein's attorneys, told the judge that there had been "no complaints" about his client's conduct in the years since the Florida case and repeatedly called the conduct in question "ancient." He also laid out the crux of Epstein's defense: the existence of the non-prosecution agreement that Epstein, he said, believed would be a "global resolution" to the matter.
Prosecutors in New York, Weingarten alleged, charged his client over the same matters for which he struck the agreement in Florida, and "that should chill the blood of every defense attorney who makes a deal with the United States."
Attorneys for alleged victims speak out
Attorney David Boies, who represents three women who have publicly shared allegations of abuse by Epstein, said the indictment was a correction to the 2008 agreement.
"This shows what could have been done and should have been done 10 years ago if it were not for political influence that Mr. Epstein and his lawyers brought to bear on the process," Boies told CNN.
He would not confirm if his clients were the victims explicitly mentioned in the indictment. However, details laid out in the indictment match up with information they have submitted as part of lawsuits against Epstein and his associates over the past decade.
Robbie Kaplan, an attorney who is representing one of Epstein's alleged victims in the Manhattan case, said Monday: "While it has been a long time coming, we are very grateful to the US Attorney's Office for the SDNY for taking action to make sure that justice will be done."
Prosecutors are seeking the forfeiture of Epstein's Upper East Side townhouse on East 71st street, according to court filings.
The case against him is being prosecuted by the public corruption unit of the Manhattan US Attorney's office, which typically handles cases involving public funds or government officials. Berman declined to explain at Monday's news conference why the office's public corruption unit is handling the case.
Connections to high-powered figures
Acosta defended his handling of the Epstein case during his confirmation hearing in March 2017.
"At the end of the day, based on the evidence, professionals within a prosecutor's office decide that a plea — that guarantees that someone goes to jail, that guarantees that someone register generally and that guarantees other outcomes — is a good thing," he said.
The Herald report also noted Epstein's close connections to powerful figures, including Trump, former President Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.
"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy," Trump told New York magazine in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.
A senior administration official was cautious in assessing Acosta's standing with the White House in the wake of Epstein's indictment.
"We will wait and see what develops. This is obviously a significant event," the official said about the Epstein case. "We need to see what comes of it."
The official noted there was an internal administration review of Acosta's handling of the Epstein case. But the official could not say whether that review had been completed.

As the healthcare industry has transitioned to digital health records, patient misidentification has become rampant and carries significant consequences that can negatively impact patient care and a hospital's financial performance.
According to the Ponemon Institute 2016 National Patient Misidentification Report, clinicians spend, on average, 28.2 minutes per shift searching for medical records, and 86% of respondents have witnessed a medical error as the direct result of misidentification. Such misidentification errors can lead to denied claims. In fact, the report found that 35% of all denied claims are due to misidentification, which can cost hospitals up to $1.2 million a year.


Due to its dependence on fossil fuel combustion, emissions from the marine transport sector can significantly contribute to air pollution. The AIRSHIP research project (http://airship.web.ua.pt/) aims to evaluate this contribution and how it affects air quality in Europe, and over Portugal in particular, using a numerical air quality modelling approach with high-resolution emission data. Emissions from the MACC project inventory were compiled and pre-processed at hourly and high spatial resolutions. Scenarios with and without the maritime emissions were then simulated with the WRF-CHIMERE modelling system, amply tested and validated for both simulation domains, in order to evaluate its impact on air quality. This modelling system was applied for Europe (27x27 km2) and Portugal (3x3 km2) domains, using nesting approach. The talk will focus on presenting part of the work of the research project, namely regarding the comparison of the modelling results (with and without considering maritime emissions) for Europe and Portugal domains, with focus on SO2 pollutant, one of the most critical pollutants associated to shipping activity. The main differences/impacts for SO2 are located over the international shipping routes and major ports. The modelling results also indicate that the two main hotspots areas are located in the Baltic and Mediterranean Sea. Over Portugal domain, the impact of these maritime emissions reaches the coast and is responsible for deltas of SO2 superior to 2 μg.m-3.
