Albuquerque Closed in 2018 Gone But Not Forgotten Mexican New Mexico
Leilani's Cafe – Albuquerque, New Mexico (CLOSED)
Leilani's Cafe on Gibson just west of Kirtland Air Force Base
Restaurants come and restaurant's go. It's not hard to tell when a bad restaurant is nearing its demise. The telltale signs practically scream at you. Service is indifferent in spite of (or maybe because of) only a handful of guests to look after. The food is uninspired, seemingly just something thrown together haphazardly. A pall of gloom and malaise seems to pervade the ambiance, hastening your meal so you can get out of there quickly. Such was the case when in August, 2015 I first visited the burger and fast food restaurant which formerly occupied a red, white and blue structure just west of Kirtland Air Force Base on Gibson. Needless to say, it wasn't a restaurant about which I'd write, much less visit a second time.
This is a tale of two restaurants at one location. My experience at the former is described above. It's an experience validated by several Yelp and Zomato respondents. The latter is the complete antithesis of the former as I experienced it–as different in every way as one restaurant could be from another. The latter, sporting a the not-so-New Mexican name of Leilani's is a family-owned-and operated gem. In terms of ambiance, it's isn't much different from its predecessor. Attitudinally, there's a world of difference. At Leilani's, guests are greeted warmly, invited to sit and looked after warmly during the duration of your meal. Moreover, the food is obviously prepared to order and delivered fresh and delicious.
Two Types of Salsa with Chips
Leilani's operating model is spelled out in its Web site: "We believe that great tasting food shouldn't break the bank. That when our customer sits at our table it's as if they pulled up a chair at their own dining room table. And that our staff feels like your extended family." These aren't just words for the Segura family; it's how they treat all their guests. In my first two visits, the charming Lydia took very good care of me, rendering the same personable attention to every guest and still managing to make everyone seem special.
Based on name alone, you might expect Leilani's would serve Hawaiian food and that it would be arrayed in luau splendor. Leilani, which translates from Hawaiian to "heavenly flowers" or "royal child" is actually the name of the owner's daughter. Instead of poi, lau lau and poco moco, the cafe serves Mexican and New Mexican food and is open every day but Sunday for breakfast and lunch. Before launching at its Gibson location in September, 2015, Leilani's operated for three years as a private restaurant for employees of The Downs racetrack in Albuquerque.
Chicken Tacos with Beans and Rice
At many restaurants, the practice of serving complimentary salsa is going the way of the Coelophysis (New Mexico's official state dinosaur). Leilani's doesn't just bring you one salsa. You're treated to two distinctly delicious and incendiary salsas, one green and one red. The salsas aren't served in thimble-sized dispensers, but in sizable plastic ramekins. You'll run out of chips before you run out of salsa. Both the red and the green are equally piquant and addictive. The red salsa is a bit thicker with the punch of jalapenos, the invigorating freshness of cilantro, the sharpness of white onions and the juiciness of tomatoes. The chips are crisp and low in salt.
4 November 2015: If you've ordered tacos recently, you've probably been taken aback at how pricey they've become. Though inexpensive to prepare, restaurants have marked them up so much you'd think they were made of rare and treasured ingredients. During my inaugural visit to Leilani's, chicken tacos were the special of the day and they weren't priced like gold bullion. Three tacos brimming with marinated, grilled chicken, shredded white and yellow Cheddar, lettuce and tomatoes were served with refried beans and rice. Though inexpensive, this generously plated lunch is a real steal considering the quality and deliciousness of the ingredients. The cubed chicken was impregnated with a savory-smoky marinade that enlivened the chicken.
The New Mexico Cheeseburger with a mountain of Ribbon Fries
10 November 2015: In the Land of Enchantment, the green chile cheeseburger has become synonymous with New Mexico's burger. Seeing a burger called "New Mexico Cheeseburger" on Leilani's menu, therefor, piqued my interest. Surely it would be a green chile cheeseburger in the fashion we've all come to know and love them. Instead, Leilani's New Mexico Cheeseburger is an intriguing twist on our sacrosanct state burger. It's constructed from a hand-formed quarter-pound patty, slice of mozzarella, breaded chile relleno, bacon, lettuce and tomato. The chile relleno is the most compelling aspect of this burger, but not necessarily the most delicious. That honor belongs to the hand-formed beef patty which is perfectly seasoned, juicy and perfectly delicious at an 80/20 beef to fat ratio. There's only one "bummer" to this burger and it's that the buns fall apart from the sheer volume and moistness of the ingredients. Still in all, it's a burger so good you won't mind sharing it with your hands.
10 November 2015: Burgers are available with your choice of French fries or ribbon fries. Savvy diners will opt for the ribbon fries. Not only do you get a mountain of them on your plate, they're absolutely terrific. By strict definition, however, they're not fries, but potato chips, some of the best you'll have. In fact, only the patates at Gyros Mediterranean are on par with these terrific tubers. The ribbon fries are so good they don't need anything else, but if you want to spice things up a little, ask for Valentina hot sauce, a tangy-piquant way to liven up anything.
As if an excellent meal served by a very pleasant family isn't enough, Leilani's Cafe offers a reward card. After nine entrees, the tenth entree is free. Here's betting a lot of reward cards will be redeemed.

Noticed it's new location today says:
Looks like Leilani's is located in the old BucketHeadz location.
At the old site is a taco place. Pretty decent tacos, but the service is a little slow because they have one gal doing it all! This may have improved if they hired her some help.
I ate lunch today at Leilani's. Everything you mentioned from the welcome, service as well as the food was just as you described. I had the cheese enchilada plate with onions and and an egg. The enchiladas were flat with cheese, onion and plenty of red chile. The egg was done perfectly. The plate came with beans (very tasty, slightly mashed, but with enough texture to "feel" like I was eating beans. Rice was also served. It was fairly non-descript, as most rice is, however it was well prepared and fluffy, not sticky goop. My server asked if I had enough onions, since I requested them and offered to bring me a side dish if I needed more. A warm tortilla wrapped in foil was also served. The two salsas were excellent. I liked both and consumed them quickly enough that she brought me a second round at no extra cost. The tostados were fresh, warm, very lightly salted and delicious on their own. Another nice touch was the cleanliness of the facility. Plates were removed when patrons were finished so they could sit and talk or sip their beverages after the meal. I will be returning to try other dishes that I saw being served. Very pleasant experience at a reasonable price.
If I ever need someone to fill in for me, I'm going to ask you. Thank you for a very thoughtful and effusive review. I'm so glad you enjoyed Leilani's.
THOSE RIBBON FRIES THOUGH
Billie Frank says:
I thought NM had finally gotten a Hawaiian restaurant-lol. Leilani's sounds like a great find!
Relleno burger doesn't sound good to me says:
But take that cheese stuffed chile and before you bread it and deep-fry it, put it on the burger. YUMMY!!!! I'm in.
Those ribbon fries look awesome as well. I miss the ribbon fries from Lumpy's, so…
Chlesey's used to be pretty good – food, service, and non-creepy wise. They went downhill about a year and a half or two years ago. Don't know if there was a change in ownership, or management, but it was very noticeable. They have since moved to the Central and Wyoming intersection (at the site of the old Rib Hut). A little out of my way for lunch, so don't know if I'll give them another try.
Goodness, you had me at "relleno on a green chile cheeseburger" – can it get any better than that???!!!!!
Good to know! Its locational predecessor was downright odd and creepy. I look forward to trying this.


Hymns and Favorites is a cooperative effort to bring back the classic songs of the church we all remember and love so dearly. As you listen, it�s our prayer that God would bring you into His presence and provide strength to face all that comes your way. We pray that Hymns and Favorites is a true blessing to you.
It is our mission to share the message and love of Jesus Christ worldwide through traditional music that provides a relaxed atmosphere of worship and peace.
Hymns and Favorites is an effort of 3 radio ministries around the country that played these songs years ago. Each station has a desire to see these songs continue to bless us all. Special thanks to each of them for archiving these great songs (rather than disposing of them like so many did) so they can be available today for Hymns and Favorites.
Most of our song library is no longer available for purchase, aside from online auction sites or the used record market. We are continually adding new songs from our classics archive into the on-air library. It�s a labor intensive process but one we are dedicated to continuing.
Our goal is to keep these amazing songs � the original renditions � alive by sharing them here on Hymns and Favorites.
Hymns and Favorites is a listener-supported Netcast ministry. It�s all possible because of the generous financial support of listeners just like you.
We pray that you are blessed and brought closer to the Lord through Hymns and Favorites.

In Italy, homeschooling is a legal educational option. Yet officials frequently mistake the education laws to mean that school attendance is required and not merely that children must receive an education.
Recent conferences and gatherings have been organized through Controscuola to help encourage the growing homeschool movement. Last month, about 50 homeschoolers gathered in Rimini, in northeastern Italy, where Di Martino led a conference on the basics of homeschooling. In addition to this conference, homeschoolers have also gathered in Pordenone, Perugia, the Veneto region, and in Modica, Sicily. The Controscuola website also includes an interactive map—a key feature that helps to connect families with fellow homeschoolers in Italy.
As pioneers of the homeschooling movement in Italy, Di Martino and others hope that their efforts help make homeschooling known across their country.

3 Ways Social Media Posts Can Sabotage Your Injury Claim
By Brett Snider, Esq. on August 11, 2014 3:51 PM
Social media can be a great tool for sharing your emotions to the world, but it can also end up sabotaging your injury claims.
Just last week, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson posted a photo of the car crash his mother and cousin survived on Instagram, along with a caption expressing his emotions about the incident. Although many of his words were heartfelt, Johnson did mention that his first reaction was to "find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them," reports The Huffington Post.
Will Johnson's angry Instagram aside prevent his relatives from quickly settling their case? That's yet to be seen, but here are three common ways social media posts like Johnson's can potentially sabotage an injury claim:
1. Revealing Confidential Terms of Settlement.
If your injury settlement includes a non-disclosure agreement, then you should definitely watch what you and your loved ones say about the other party on social media. Non-disclosure agreements are often used by businesses and celebrities to keep certain persons from leaking sensitive information to the public.
When one party agrees to settle an injury claim, there may be a request that all parties refrain from discussing the terms of the settlement. So if you or your family members take to Facebook to announce the settlement terms and tell the other party to "suck it," your settlement award may become a distant memory.
2. Posting Incriminating Videos and Photos.
Ready to share your latest exploits on Instagram or Tumblr? Think twice about letting the Twitterverse know about your latest activities, because they may come back to bite you in your injury case.
Just ask Dorothy McGurk. She was juicing her husband for alimony, claiming she was "disabled," but it all came undone when her ex found her blog featuring years' worth of belly dancing photos that showed she wasn't disabled. We would not suppose that anyone is attempting to defraud the other party in asserting injury claims, but posting videos of yourself performing physical activity can certainly give the wrong impression.

From the time of the ancient Greeks through the present time, this historical overview of cosmology is told by one of the most famous and fascinating scientists today.
In the ten years since its publication in 1988, Stephen Hawking's book has become a landmark volume in scientific writing, with more than nine million copies sold worldwide. That edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the nature of the universe. But the last decade has seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic worlds, confirming many of Professor Hawking's theoretical predictions. Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these observations, he has written a new introduction, updated the original chapters throughout, and added an entirely new chapter on the fascinating subject of wormholes and time travel.
How did we ever end up with Morse code, X-rays, toilet paper? In this book, you will discover 101 of the most interesting, most dangerous, and most unnecessary inventions out there. Make something, invent something, or just impress your friends with your increased knowledge about where all those crazy contraptions came from.
How did a simple design error cause one of the great disasters of the 1980s — the collapse of the walkways at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel? What made the graceful and innovative Tacoma Narrows Bridge twist apart in a mild wind in 1940? How did an oversized waterlily inspire the magnificent Crystal Palace, the crowning achievement of Victorian architecture and engineering? These are some of the failures and successes that Henry Petroski, author of the acclaimed The Pencil, examines in this engaging, wonderfully literate book. More than a series of fascinating case studies, To Engineer Is Human is a work that looks at our deepest notions of progress and perfection, tracing the fine connection between the quantifiable realm of science and the chaotic realities of everyday life.
Have you ever considered why you always get stuck in the longest line? Why two's company but three's a crowd? Or why there are six degrees of separation instead of seven? In this hugely informative and endlessly entertaining book, John D. Barrow takes the most baffling of everyday phenomena and—with simple math, lucid explanations, and illustrations—explains why they work the way they do. His witty, crystal-clear answers shed light on the dark and shadowy corners of the physical world we all think we understand so well.

A changed man: Law professor spearheads MSU Civil Rights Legal Clinic
Professor Daniel Manville is an advocate for civil rights and the rights of prisoners. Photo by Robert Chase
By Sheila Pursglove
Daniel Manville is a strong advocate for civil rights, and the rights of prisoners. He knows the issues only too well — he walked that path himself, spending almost four years in prison in the 1970s.
Manville, assistant clinical professor at Michigan State University College of Law and director of the MSU Civil Rights Clinic, specializes in this area because of his own experiences, and the injustices he saw while confined and after his release.
Upon release from prison, Manville did not feel his confinement had left a lasting impact — until paranoia set in as early as his first week of freedom.
"Everywhere I went I 'knew' that people 'knew' I was an ex-con — I felt that every time someone laughed, they were laughing at me," he says. "I left prison without any confidence in myself. All of these negative feelings were instilled by the manner the prison system treated those confined."
During his time in prison, Manville earned an associate's degree from Jackson Community College/Jackson Prison Educational Program, and bachelor's degrees by correspondence courses from Central Michigan University and Wayne State University College of Lifelong Learning, so that he would not have a blank spot on his resume.
"Yet, while applying for jobs I had such a negative view of myself that I just knew they wouldn't hire me," he says. "I came to believe that almost all people leaving prison have had instilled in them these negative concepts of themselves so that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy we would fail when returned to society."
Manville went on to earn a master's degree in criminal justice from MSU; and a J.D. from Antioch School of Law in Washington, D.C.
"I studied criminal justice as a follow-up to my having been imprisoned, and I was drawn to law by the social injustice I saw on TV in the late '50s and early '60s, with racial discrimination and violence against blacks."
After clerking at the National Prison Project in D.C., Manville went on to work there as a research associate, then as a staff associate, and enjoyed traveling to different states for litigation and meeting prisoners. He also served as editor of the Prison Law Monitor, a monthly national publication pertaining to rights of prisoners.
"I learned a lot as to prison conditions, how to challenge them, how to be patient, and that usually — even when you win — you take two steps forward but three steps backwards," he says.
"Yes, you could change unconstitutional conditions but it might not happen in your lifetime. In class action cases the court works at the pace of a tortoise, allowing prison officials numerous opportunities to not comply with the court orders."
Manville, who hails from Newberry in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, enjoys being a member of the Spartan law faculty.
"It's a place where you're allowed to develop what you decide is needed to be done, and you have a lot of freedom. The people you work with are fantastic — it's such a cross-section of people and if you need advice, help, guidance, people are there to offer it. The students generally want to learn and want the opportunity to actually provide help to those with less than they have."
His MSU Law students learn about the prison system and how it functions, providing representation to those whose civil rights have been violated.
"They learn there probably are some people that need to be confined but there are many that don't, especially with the sentences imposed," he says. "They learn about the limited rights prisoners have. They learn the importance of knowing the rules of the court and that many battles in litigation can be won by knowing the rules. Students learn that, even though they are very busy, they must be caring people for their clients."
Prior to MSU, Manville was an adjunct professor and clinical staff attorney in the Civil Rights Clinic at Wayne State University Law School.
He later served as a visiting professor in the Civil Rights Clinic at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, with clients at the Federal SuperMax Prison, where Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and other well-known inmates are imprisoned.
"There were a lot of interesting cases," he says. "All the cases I was involved with were representing incarcerated terrorists, except for one case, an individual placed on no human contact for 24 years when we brought a lawsuit to challenge that. Life in prison is very, very hard."
Manville taught Personal Injury and Torts Litigation and Civil and Appellate Practice as an adjunct professor at Henry Ford Community College. He also taught Evidence in the Legal Technician Program at Antioch School of Law, and was an adjunct instructor of Evidence for Police at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor.
A member of several professional legal groups, including the American Bar Association, Federal Bar Association, American Constitution Society, National Lawyers Guild and the Prisons and Corrections Section of the Michigan State Bar, Manville has published numerous articles and litigation manuals in the area of prisoners' rights and has also been a guest speaker around the country and in the media.
He recently updated "Protecting Your Health & Safety: A Litigation Guide for Inmates" for the Southern Poverty Law Center and completed the fourth edition of the "Prisoners' Self-Help Litigation Manual," published by Oxford University Press.
"The manual is more than a work of love — it's written for those confined who are very restricted in having access to legal materials," he says. "This is especially true for those in confinement in segregation, which further restricts access to legal materials. The manual shepherds someone from knowing what the law is and is not, to how to file a lawsuit, how to do a trial - every aspect of the trial — and how to take the case through an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In his spare time, Manville enjoys fly-fishing, photography, college sports, attending community theater productions, and working out.
His battle to remedy deficiencies of the correctional system and to improve re-entry and rehabilitation programs continues.
"It's hard for me to believe that I spent 3 years, 4 months, 20 days and 17 minutes in prison — it's as if I had a dream where I was confined, but never actually was," he says. "However, my prison life is still a part of me and I will take it to my grave. I can't just walk away from what I did and what prison did to me.
"I feel I've had such a small impact on a system that so needs to be changed," Manville says. "Many tell me that this isn't true. However, like most things in life, it's our personal perception that matters most."

Pat Riley Believes Chris Bosh's Future With Miami Heat Is Over
Simon OgusContributor
I previously co-founded SportTechie, covering tech's impact on sports
Miami Heat President Pat Riley stated on Monday that Chris Bosh's career with the team is "probably over." He went on to say that, "There is not a next step for us, it's pretty definitive for us in our position. We headed down the road very excited to a point where we thought it would work. And then the physical couldn't clear him to the next step." Riley continued stating, "If we didn't care about Chris, we would have played him in the playoffs." The team as a result will also not permit Bosh at the facility as the team reports for training camp this week.

This of course comes off the heels of news on Friday, in which doctors ruled Chris Bosh ineligible to play due to results from a recent physical. Physicians found evidence of more clotting in Bosh's blood stream which raised significant concern. It's also uncertain on when or if Bosh will ever play again. Bosh though has maintained that he will be at Miami Heat training camp when it begins and has full intention of playing this season in the NBA if he is able to.
The original clot, which began in his leg in 2014 and traveled into his lung, was considered life-threatening. The 11-time All-Star power forward was looking forward to rejoining the Heat, with training camp beginning next week. Bosh had also been named to the Eastern Conference All-Star Team during the past two seasons with the Heat. Both, of course, ended abruptly by the blood clotting issue.
The Miami HEAT have released a statement on Chris Bosh https://t.co/rL6tBr4EeN pic.twitter.com/8DpLdavkdZ
— Miami HEAT (@MiamiHEAT) September 23, 2016
The organization commented with a press release stating, "The Miami Heat and Chris Bosh, in consultation with team doctors and other physicians, have been working together for many months with the mutual goal of having Chris return to the court as soon as possible. Chris has now taken his preseason physical. The Miami Heat regret that it remains unable to clear Chris to return to basketball activities, and there is no timetable for his return."
Thanks to everyone that joined me on Facebook Live! Having the support from you during this whole process has really made a difference.
— Chris Bosh (@chrisbosh) September 21, 2016
Blood clots are gel-like clumps of blood that can be dangerous and life-threatening if not treated quickly with blood thinners or anti-coagulants. The primary risk of playing sports while on blood thinners, in this case for Bosh, would be the potential for excessive bleeding if he were to get cut or have a wound during a game.
According to Spotrac, Bosh is due $75.8 million over the next three seasons of his five-year, $118 million contract, signed in 2014. However, the Heat can maneuver to clear his salary cap hit for the remaining two seasons of Bosh's contract, which amounts to $25.3 million in 2017-18 and $26.8 million in 2018-19.
According to Miami Herald Reporter, Bobby Jackson, "The Heat, would need to release Bosh, and his remaining salary then would be cleared from Miami's cap if a doctor that is jointly selected by the league and players association agree his condition is career-ending, or severe enough to put him at risk if he continues playing, according to the NBA's labor agreement." The Heat currently rank first in the NBA, with a payroll of $133.8 million and $20.5 million in luxury taxes.
The Heat did allow Bosh to play while taking a new form of medication called Xarelto that is used to deal with blood clotting. Bosh is not expected to file a grievance with the players union due to the recent decision by Heat physicians, even though the team might have released information without Bosh's consent, which is not allowed in the NBA collective bargaining agreement.
Bosh was named second-team All-NBA in 2007 and has averaged 19.2 points and 8.5 rebounds in 893 games over 13 seasons. The 32-year old veteran spent his last six seasons with the Heat, where he averaged 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds. His tenure with the Heat will likely be remembered most, although he spent several years in Toronto. Bosh, of course, was a key cog for the Heat, playing with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade during the four years of the Big Three Era and winning two NBA titles in four Finals appearances.

'Purity, Danger, Dirty Re-arranger' (installation)and 'ikeagram: a place where everyone' (animation and performance in 'Museum of the Unwanted', Kunstmuseum Olten, Switzerland, an artist curated project by Clare Goodwin.
'Museum of the Unwanted' was a museum exhibition about things that are left behind, the practices of artists who use such objects for their creative activities and incorporate them into their work. Artists taking part in the show were invited to incorporate partition walls originating from other exhibitions.
'Purity, Danger, Dirty Rearranger': Using the ex-museum boards, I mounted a series of handmade 'towel rails' each supporting overlapping papers, which - hung together - formed composite drawings.
The drawings - drawn directly from collages - appeared like intricate stains across the paper 'towels'. Within these stains were exquisite compositions of disarrayed objects and clutter. This piece focused on ideas around the temporality and clear-up of exhibitions, with acts of discard posing as abjection or dirt.

Q: How to associate multiple BigQuery array fields? I am working with a BigQuery data table that is using multiple array fields to store elements of the same logical record.
In this case there is one array field for 'product code', a second array field for 'quantity' and a third array field for 'price'. All array fields will have great same number if elements.
How can I build a BigQuery query that extracts the product code, quantity and price as a three column result set?

A: Below is for BigQuery Standard SQL
#standardSQL
SELECT id, rec.*
FROM `project.dataset.table`,
UNNEST(ARRAY(
  SELECT AS STRUCT code, quantity, price
    FROM UNNEST(code) code WITH OFFSET
    JOIN UNNEST(quantity) quantity WITH OFFSET USING(OFFSET)
    JOIN UNNEST(price) price WITH OFFSET USING(OFFSET)
)) rec

You can test, play with above using sample dummy data as in below example
#standardSQL
WITH `project.dataset.table` AS (
  SELECT 1 id, ['product1', 'product2', 'product3'] code, [10, 20, 30] quantity, [2.99, 1.99, 0.99] price UNION ALL
  SELECT 2, ['product4', 'product5', 'product6'], [60, 50, 40], [3.99, 4.99, 5.99]
)
SELECT id, rec.*
FROM `project.dataset.table`,
UNNEST(ARRAY(
  SELECT AS STRUCT code, quantity, price
    FROM UNNEST(code) code WITH OFFSET
    JOIN UNNEST(quantity) quantity WITH OFFSET USING(OFFSET)
    JOIN UNNEST(price) price WITH OFFSET USING(OFFSET)
)) rec

with output
Row id  code        quantity    price
1   1   product1    10          2.99
2   1   product2    20          1.99
3   1   product3    30          0.99
4   2   product4    60          3.99
5   2   product5    50          4.99
6   2   product6    40          5.99

Everything you need to know about Iranian General Soleimani
Featured Stories Opinion Politics
Yesterday, US air strikes killed top Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani sparking intense outrage and debate and worsening tensions between the United States and Iran. With the Twitter trend #WorldWar3 going viral, it's worth delving into the importance of General Soleimani and why he was killed.
Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani was killed by the US on January 3rd 2020, in an air strike at the Baghdad airport ordered by US President Donald Trump. Soleimani, who headed external operations of the Quds Force and was behind Iran's spreading military influence in West Asia, was in the crosshairs of America and its allies.
A statement released by the US Department of Defense said the US military claimed that the United States took the "decisive step to protect US personnel abroad by killing Soleimani, the head of Quds Force, which is the overseas operations wing of the IRGC and a US-designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation". But there has been severe outrage at this attack with the public torn as to whether this was the right decision or not.
Soleimani's Rise
Soleimani's ascent to power began during the 1979 Iranian revolution that led to the establishment of an Islamic Republic. He rose through the ranks of Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force and his proximity with the supreme leader helped him. In 1998 he became the head of the Guards.
After that, he was instrumental in shaping the foreign policy of Iran, which is surrounded by hostile neighbours and is involved in several political battles across the region.
To tackle Israel in Lebanon — where Israel had occupied some territory — Soleimani supervised a sophisticated campaign of guerrilla warfare, ambushes, suicide bombings, and targeted killings of senior Israeli officers and attacks on Israeli defence posts. Eventually, Israel withdrew from Lebanon in May 2000, in a major victory for Soleimani against an enemy heavily backed by the US.
During the US-Iraq war, which began in 2003, Iran backed insurgents in the region and helped them launch clandestine attacks on US convoys and posts. The help Soleimani offered Iraqi insurgents can be linked to Shiites' predominance in Iraq, just like in Iran.
When the Arab Spring galvanised almost every other country in West Asia, Soleimani once again became the points person for Iran. When the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) began in 2012, Soleimani oversaw a recruiting drive of militia fighters from countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. They were airlifted to Syria to aid Bashar al-Assad's forces in key battles.
Soleimani's work in Iraq did not stop there. The rebels are said to have continued to get help from Iran. Iraqis have on several occasions violently opposed the presence of US forces on their land. In December 2019, when a US contractor was killed in Iraq, an enraged US President Donald Trump had blamed Iran. Trump has often accused Iran of violating the nuclear deal and warned Teheran of serious consequences.
After Soleimani's killing on January 3, the US said he had been "actively developing" plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and "throughout the region", and that the "strike was undertaken to deter future Iranian attack plans".
Iran's Reaction
In a series of tweets, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khameini, condoled the death of Soleimani. Warning "the criminals who bloodied their foul hands with his (Soleimani's) blood", he said there would be "severe revenge" and vowed, "God willing, his work and his path will not be stopped". A three-day public mourning was declared in Iran in Soliemani's honour.

The increasing representation of transgender characters in hit TV series may be paving the way for a braver Hollywood.
Laverne Cox is a powerhouse of raw talent not to be reckoned with. Not only is she the first black transgender woman to have a major role on an American TV show, she is also the first transgender person to be nominated for a primetime Emmy for her role as Sophia Burset in the Netflix hit Orange is the New Black.
Orange is the New Black has become a poster series for transgender character visibility on TV.
The hit series takes a progressive approach to representing racial diversity, with the highly acclaimed cast of 37 women portraying characters from various places including: Nigeria, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Columbia, Ireland and Brooklyn, to name but a few. With the inclusion of the character of Sophia, Orange is the New Black has become a poster series for transgender character visibility on TV.
In the case of Jill Soloway's masterfully written series Transparent, the plight of transgender awareness is rightfully deserving of its own show.
This thoughtful and bold series skilfully examines the complexities of the transitioning journey belonging to Maura (Mort) Pfefferman brilliantly played by Jeffrey Tambor.
While the series centres on Maura's journey, a cavalcade of issues that surround transitioning are brought to life via her children and ex-wife – each of whom deal with their father's evolving identity in extraordinarily different ways. This richly crafted series even uses Nazism as a narrative to explore the suffering endured by transgender people past and present.
The inclusion of the transgender experience through the stories we weave on television provides a vital platform that reaches mainstream audiences who may otherwise never knowingly have contact with trans men and women in the real world.
Platforms such as Netflix and Stan are creating opportunities for vital stories to be told as they have the courage, backing and audience base to bravely venture into territories that the big film studios are still reluctant to explore – an issue Sophie Atkinson raises in her feature "10 films that will open your eyes about transgendered people".
"While Golden Globe winning TV like Transparent and the prominence of Orange Is The New Black's trans actor and activist Laverne Cox may have convinced you that trans issues have been integrated into the mainstream, cinema still has a way to go before it catches up with television's evolving attitudes to the world beyond cis-gendered perspectives," Atkinson writes.
The Wachowskis, who established themselves as Hollywood heavy hitters after directing the Matrix Trilogy, have migrated their talents from big screen to live stream to co-create the hit Netflix series Sense8 featuring trans character Nome Marks, a trans hacktivist living in San Francisco, played by trans woman Jamie Clayton. This should come as no surprise considering the Wachowskis themselves are both trans women.
A more recent and perhaps the most understated trans presence in a Netflix series is in The OA with Buck Vu – a trans teen played by Ian Alexander; who got the part after responding to a call out on social media for a young Asian trans actor.
In the same way that Will and Grace pioneered the visibility of leading gay characters in a highly successful series that claimed its own spotlight in primetime TV, the momentum being created by subscription TV platforms around transgender stories may influence Hollywood to wisely follow suit.


For Pente Investment Management Ltd.
Pente Investment Management Ltd. (PIM) has been registered in Ontario in the categories of Limited Market Dealer, and Investment Counsel and Portfolio Manager since March 1990.
On June 30, 2006 the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) received PIM's audited financial statements for the year end March 31, 2006. The financial statements revealed that as of March 31, 2006 PIM had a capital deficiency of $3,500. Based on unaudited financial statements as at June 30, 2006, the capital deficiency had been rectified.
On July 17, 2006 staff of the OSC wrote PIM indicating that it had recommended that standard terms and conditions be imposed on PIM's registration for a period of six months.
The OTBH was conducted through written submissions.
OSC staff focus on three criteria in determining whether an applicant is suitable for registration: proficiency, integrity and financial solvency.
Financial statements are the principal tool used by the OSC to monitor a registrant's financial viability and its capital position.
Every adviser shall maintain a minimum free capital of the maximum amount, if any, that is deductible under any clause of the bonding or insurance policy required under section 108 plus $5,000 of working capital calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or such greater amount as the Director considers necessary where the adviser exercises control over clients' funds or securities.
Mr. Fielding, President of PIM explained that the capital deficiency was the result of declaring a retroactive bonus paid to Mr. Fielding to reduce taxable income. The amount of bonus led to the capital deficiency. The deficiency was recognized by PIM after the financial statements had been prepared. The capital position had been rectified by the time the financial statements were filed with the Commission on June 30, 2006.
All registrants are required to meet the capital requirements of the Act. Maintaining minimum free capital is a serious regulatory obligation placed on registrants. This requirement helps to protect investors from insolvency fostering confidence in Ontario's capital markets. The dollar amount of free capital needed is not a prohibitive expense.
When this obligation is not met, OSC staff has regularly recommended that terms and conditions to monitor the financial situation of the firm be imposed on its registration. Only in rare circumstances would this course of action not be followed. PIM's tax planning is not a persuasive reason not to impose monitoring terms and conditions.
Therefore, the terms and conditions as set out in Schedule A are imposed on the registration of PIM. PIM must continue to meet all requirements under the Act that apply to it as a registrant.
b. month end calculation of excess free capital.
This information shall be filed no later than three weeks after each month end with the Compliance section of the Ontario Securities Commission, attention Financial Analyst.

Over the years, we have seen Black Rebel Motorcycle Club evolve from a dark and menacing rock beast through their more jovial times and back again. Their sound has been this one long journey of moods and influences, always looking to keep them fresh and apart to what the majority of other acts are doing at the time. But after five years out of the studio, BRMC have found themselves in a nostalgic period as they return to their formative roots on their eighth studio album 'Wrong Creatures'.
Those that remember the incredibly dark sound of their first two records, 'B.R.M.C.' and 'Take Them On, On Your Own', will be more than familiar with what to expect on here. But while the sound of 'Wrong Creatures' may seem familiar, in a lot of cases here, the pace and rhythm of the album is frequently quickened. It still has its more sombre moments, but it genuinely feels that the band have looked to deliver more energy this time around, creating a blend of their previous intentions.
It may not have the instant hit-factor of some of their previous albums, but still has that high level of competent songwriting we have come to know them for. The five-year break may have aided their creativity, but they still lack the hunger and drive we would have expected from band out of the limelight for so long.

Do you feel that on the wind? It's Malia and Sasha Obama actively cringing at the fact that the FLOTUS has returned to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to strut her mom-inspired dance moves.
Michelle Obama, 51, joined host Jimmy Fallon on Thursday in an encore performance of "The Evolution of Mom Dancing," the first round of which aired in February 2013.
This year's appearance was in honor of the fifth anniversary of Obama's "Let's Move!" anti-obesity campaign and featured all of the moves your mom loved to break out while chaperoning your middle school dance.
From the "This Ol' Thing? I Got It at Talbots" to the "One Move Behind in Zumba Class," Obama has surely given daughters Malia, 16, and Sasha, 13, enough secondhand-embarrassment material to last them throughout their teenage years.

A Kingston Police investigation, open for nearly 30 years, has been solved thanks to the location of further forensic evidence.
According to police, the investigation has been open since the sexual assault which occurred in 1994 and was considered a cold case. On Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2023, Lawrence Serson, 80 years old from Hamilton, Ontario was arrested by the Kingston Police Major Crime Unit in Hamilton.
In a media release, dated Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023, police said that at the time of the incident, a then 52-year-old Serson, who was residing in Kingston at the time, unlawfully gained entry into the residence of a 44-year-old female who lived alone.
"After Serson gained entry into the victim's apartment he viscously attacked her while she slept. Serson overpowered the victim by confining her before violently sexually assaulting her," police stated, adding that, "further forensic evidence/DNA was located and this DNA assisted the Major Crime Unit in identifying Serson and ultimately in solving this heinous incident."
Lawrence Serson, now 80 years old, has been charged with:
sexual assault causing bodily harm,
breaking and entering with intent,
uttering threats, and
forcible confinement.
On Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023, Serson appeared before a Justice of the Peace in Kingston and was remanded into custody, police said.
Anyone with further information concerning this investigation is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Chad Parslow or Detective Constable Chris Cook of the Kingston Police Major Crime Unit via email at [email protected] or [email protected]

We can expect God's help in difficulties when we obey His Law. We address the questions: Why should the Lord listen to us when we cry to Him for help? Why doesn't the Lord always answer our prayers right away? Why does He really help us when we ask? How should we behave during a trial? Why should God act against our enemy? And lastly, How much should we love God's Law?
Do You Want to Be More Obedient?
Do You Love God's Truth?
Who Is Great in God's Eyes?
How Much Should You Love God's Commandments?
