Attorneys from Capes Sokol Challenge Missouri's Defense of Marriage Laws
December 7, 2014, 10:30AM . By LAS Staff Writer
Jefferson City, Missouri (December 3, 2014) (Press Release)Attorney Drey Cooley of St. Louis-based law firm Capes, Sokol, Goodman & Sarachan, P.C., presented arguments to the Missouri Supreme Court in In re the Marriage of: M.S. v. D.S., in which a man sought a divorce from his same-sex spouse, and the St. Louis County Circuit Court dismissed his petition based upon Missouri's Defense of Marriage ("DOMA") provisions, which prohibit recognition of same-sex marriages. With respect for the two marital partners involved in this action, they are not identified and will remain anonymous. They do not have children.
The Missouri Supreme Court heard the appeal of M.S., a man who sued in January for a divorce from the man he lawfully married in Iowa in 2012. Presently, there is no statewide standard for same-sex marriage or divorce in Missouri, resulting in inconsistent treatment of same-sex marriages and divorces across the State.
Cooley suggested to the Court that Supreme Court action is necessary to resolve these inconsistencies, citing lower court cases that have granted same-sex couples the right to get married in St. Louis City and Jackson County, while same-sex couples have been denied the right to get married in most other counties. Similarly, the lower courts in a few counties have granted same-sex couples divorces, while others have refused. Cooley said, "This has resulted in a great deal of uncertainty and confusion regarding whether or not the marriages and divorces that have been granted will receive full legal recognition."
"It has been reported in the local media by a 'spokesperson' for an organization supporting same-sex marriage that these lower court decisions from two Missouri counties are binding across the state," Cooley said. "They are not, and have no precedential value except in those two counties." As a result, the status of those Missouri same-sex couples who have already been granted divorces or marriage licenses is in question until the Supreme Court resolves this issue.
Cooley offered to the Court that it could provide access to divorce for same-sex couples without overturning DOMA, although he expressed the hope that the Court would take this opportunity to finally determine whether or not DOMA is to be enforced in Missouri.
The Capes Sokol attorneys that brought this matter before the Missouri Supreme Court are Dan Sokol, Sheila Greenbaum, Drey Cooley and Stephen Davis, as part of the firm's commitment to pro bono service to the community. The Court's case summary and the briefs filed in this matter are available here.

Q: Direct product and homomorphism for $f : X \to Y_1 \times Y_2$ I've got some idea from https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Direct_Product_of_Group_Homomorphisms_is_Homomorphism.
And I made the statement below by expanding the general case either groups  or rings.
Statement)  Let the $X$ and $Y_i$ be groups(or rings)
Say homomorphism $f_i : X \to Y_i  $
$\forall$ homomorphism, $f : X \to Y_1 \times Y_2, \exists$ homomorpshims $f_1$ and $f_2$ s.t. $f = f_1 \times f_2$
(Equivalently, The number of the $f$ = the number of the $f_1$ $\times$ the number of the $f_2$)

Well... at least I've looked those, it is true for me. But I can't guess the things right or not.
If the statement is true, Is the proof method same with the methods in above link?
If the statement is false, Please let me know some counterexample, Cause I haven't found it yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.


This is not the blog post I had planned after such a long absence. I'm very sad to say Dhlyis sadly passed away yesterday. She was one of my first ever girls, bought all the way back in March 2006.
Back in those days I had a different blog, which was mainly about the girls and how many wonderful eggs they laid for us.
We got the girls (Marjorie, Dhylis, Sylvie and Penny seen below) from a really run down farm in Norfolk, an hour away from where we lived in Soham at the time. The other girls are long gone, some not even leaving our old house with us, but Dhylis was always here.
Dhylis in fact laid our first ever egg….. a very round mostly yolk, which I can remember getting so excited by, I called my husband who was on a conference call…. and I was screaming down the phone at him.
Other chickens have come and gone, She's lived with ex- battery hens, and other big girls until they started to bully her, and then moved into her own eglu with Sherbert, Dolly, and Alan. These too, have long since left us.
So here's to Dhylis. The chicken who taught us all we know about chickens. Who came when she was called, and used to run up and down the garden after me. Who made happy noises when she got treats, who loved grapes and sweetcorn, and who will be very much missed.
Much love. Dhylis is in the great happy chicken coop in the sky with a garden full of bugs and endless sunny days. RIP.

Here i will be talking about how to use light efficiently and other factors that need to be considered when trying to make the most efficient use of light. It is simply not best to use a single light source with a fixed output capacity, but instead multiple lights of varying photon flux for different stages of growth. Dimmable fixtures is also effective and to a lesser extent fixtures that have veg and bloom functions. This is because when lights do not match the plants stage of growth, fixtures must be hung relatively high. This wastes a lot of light through radiated and reflective losses. To capatilize on available light one must use a cascade of light sources with varying output capacities. So that the light footprint and intensity matches the stage of growth.
The canopy intensity guidelines cannot be followed unless you have a light meter which can measure the illumance or flux density of your light source in umols or lux per square metre. Lux meters only work on white light and simply cannot be used for monochromatic light sources, such as the common red and blue LED fixtures. For these you must use quantum PAR meters for reliable measurments and referencing. Although using smartphones to measure illuminance is possible, the accuracy may not be reliable due to hardware variances and the lack of cosine correction systems required for accurate measurements.
Clones loose a functioning root system and so rely heavily on stored resources rather than photosynthesis. As such the only amount of light they require is the level to compensate for the energy used for simply staying alive. Seedling light requirements is almost identicle because the age of leaves directly effects the potential for photosynthesis. It can take two or three weeks before a plant has developed leaves that are mature enough for higher intensities. Seedlings or clones are best between 60-90umols (5000-7500 lux). This is because, the enzyme activity and other key functioning systems in leaves are still developing and cannot photosynthesize as well as older plants can with mature leaves.
Whether you are germinating or cloning just a few plants or many, early vegetation starts off with a very small surface area of leaves. It is a big reason why it is not ideal to start off with high photon flux lights, as you cannot bring the light source too close as the intensity will be too high. As a result light is wasted through radiated losses. Instead for early growth and a smaller surface area of leaves, a low flux light source should be used such as fluorescents, low power gas discharge or dimmable fixtures on low. By using light with lower photon flux levels, this allows you to be able to bring your light source closer without providing damaging levels of light intensity and limit the amount of radiated losses by making the light footprint and intensity match the stage of growth.
As young plants get older you can progressively increase light intensity until you reach full maturity. This is because as leaves mature the enzyme activity responsible for key aspects in photosystems, increases and allows for maximal processing of light through photosynthesis.
During early vegetation before a plant has reached full maturity, average light levels between 250-350umols (20,000-30,000 lux) is ideal.
With mature vegetation, it is best to keep the average light intensity between 500-700umols (40,000-60,000 lux) as the photosynthetic efficiency is best in this range.
As your plants grow and the surface area of leaves increases and begins outgrowing your light source, you can start to consider introducing more light. At this stage of growth, plants are still filling the canopy and is not the best time to use the full recommended photon flux for your grow space. Instead increase your photon flux levels by using more powerful luminaires or increasing the power on dimmable sources. While still making sure the light footprint and intensity matches the stage of growth.
During flowering it is best to keep the average light intensity between 500-700umols (40,000-60,000 lux). When the canopy is filled, there is no need to bring your light closer during flowering. As the plants photosynthetic efficiency is unchanged and bringing a light source closer does not provide more energy to plants. Read my article on Light Proximity to learn more.
By the time you have reached the flower stage, you will want to have filled as much if not all of the entire canopy of your grow space, so virtually little or no light gets through to the bottom. This ensures that most light is being recieved by leaves, instead of having radiated losses that pass through or around the canopy unused. When the canopy is filled you can proceed with the full photon flux that is suited for your grow space. If by the time you have reached flowering or at the end of the flowering stretch, the canopy is not filled. Then plan for future grows to use training techniques, increased vegetation time or higher initial plant numbers to ensure that this space is filled better by the time you reach flowering.
Ultimately you are wanting to match your light source to your plants or match your plants to your light source. By managing light sources or plant configurations you effectively limit the amount of wasted energy and increase the efficiency of light utilization. You will also want to maintain your light intensity at the canopy for each stage of growth as the photosynthetic efficiency is best when kept between the ideal range. Between 700-1000umols (60,000-80,000 lux) efficiency declines rapidly and fully saturates at around 1000umols (80,000 lux). With any further increase in light intensity adding little to photosynthesis and is wasted as heat.
Matching light sources to plants is not possible for some, if you are limited to using single output lights, you can use a single light source for the entire grow by raising the fixture. However this is not making efficient use of your light and as such valuable resources are wasted through radiated and reflective losses. Ideally with fixed output sources you want to match your plants to your light source as you cannot control the photon flux. But because most are limited on how they can do this, you may have to bring your light source closer in order to utilize some otherwise wasted light. With wide and dense canopy, when you bring the light closer, and the inner hotspots increase. Much of this extra light goes unused, as you reach the limit of photosynthetic efficiency. But the light on the outer edges increases and does get utilized. So there most definitely is a benefit for bringing a light source closer when the canopy is not completely filled. As a rough guide, you dont want the inner hotspots to be any higher than 1000umols or 80,000 lux.
As always please comment your thoughts or any questions on the subject.

Always good stuff Dangerdan, thanks.
SO, why do LED manufacturers all seem to suggest lower heights above canopy during flowering? Is this just to protect very young plants?
I don't have any light meters, so I more or less follow their guidelines. I run 21" above during Veg and at least 15" during flower. They do fine at 15" but I think I saw evidence that they don't like 14". So, does this mean that I can lower them closer to 15" in late veg?
Yea i would say 15" is around 900umols.

If however you can back your light off to get between 500-700umol then you maximize the efficiency of light utilization. But the canopy must be filled so most of the light is being received by leaves.

Marielle Ebersol is a yoga instructor based out of Venice, California. She grew up in the hills of Cornwall, Connecticut and made her way out to Los Angeles in the fall of 2009 to pursue a career of acting. After a few years of pursuing that career and working lots of jobs in many different fields, Marielle found her true calling in the teaching of yoga and has now been teaching for the last three and a half years. In January of 2013 she began a journey of practicing yoga every single day which eventually lead to doing a teacher training and discovering her voice and her love of teaching. This coming January 1st will mark 5 years of practicing yoga every day. It has changed everything. Marielle teaches locally at The Yoga Collective in Venice and at a few companies throughout the city.
I am a really great listener. In the past I have been the one to talk someone's ear off and over time I realized how much that bothered people. I started to really work on it and it will always be something that I continue to work on. I ask questions about the person I am in a conversation with and I strive to be as present as possible with their answers. Trying my best not to be thinking about what I am going to say while someone else is speaking and instead really hearing them out. After having worked so hard on it myself I have really been able to notice when someone is really listening when I speak. And recognizing how hurtful it is when that person clearly isn't listening. It makes me strive to do better and to listen more. It is a constant practice.
Trusting my instincts and taking everything one step at a time. Trusting the process entirely. When I was younger I would look into the future and get really nervous. I would think about all of the things that had yet to happen and all of the things that I felt like I needed to do and it would wear me down. I began to learn that all we have control of is the moment that we are in right now. Looking into the future and coming up with all of the potential situations will only stall your present. Looking into the future can be a wonderful thing when you are open to the magic of the unknown. And that is how I look at it now. I am clear with where I am right here and right now and I am excited to see what is yet to come.
I would love to travel more. And second to that I would love to lead a yoga retreat to New Zealand. Maybe even once a year? I have been busy growing my community over the last three and a half years and I know the time is soon to jump and find my wings as I do. I am nervous to do it but I know that means that I need to. I lived in Christchurch, New Zealand for 5 months during college and I have been dying to go back ever since I left TEN years ago! This coming February 14th marks the day I flew there in 2008 and I am ready to go back. My dream place to host a retreat is at Aro Ha just outside of Queenstown and I'm putting it down on paper to manifest it into fruition.
Becoming a yoga teacher. When I was twelve I told everyone in my life that would listen that I wanted to become an actress. I spent a lot of my time in boarding school in the theater acting or working backstage and did the same in college. After college I drove across the country from Connecticut to Los Angeles, California with my father to pursue that very same dream. I slowly started to discover that I was spending far more of my time at the yoga studio than pursuing the world of acting. At the end of 2012 I was in a funk and I couldn't get out of it. So I decided to try something. On January 1, 2013 I went to yoga and I promised myself that for 30 days I would get myself to a class and onto my mat. After thirty days I wanted to keep going, so I did. Fast forward a little over a year later and I decided to do a teacher training. My parents had started to bring up the topic of acting and was it really what made me happy. There was a very tiny voice screaming inside that acting was doing the opposite of making me happy and I was so afraid to even listen to that voice. But I slowly started to listen. I signed up for teacher training and decided to let acting go and see where the teacher training would lead me.
For much of my life people would tell me how I would make an incredible teacher. But I always said, no, that's my mom. She's an incredible Montessori teacher and I never thought I could do what she does. When people said teacher I immediately thought of the kind of teacher my mom is and how wonderful she is. Students from 30 years ago will recognize her from when she taught them at age 5 and they will go on and on about how much they loved her. I didn't think I could do that. But then I started my training and I discovered my voice. I discovered that I absolutely love to teach a room full of yogis. I love providing a safe space for people to move and breathe in. From the moment I decided to teach I felt a big weight lift off of my shoulders and I am so grateful for every single step that lead me to this place. What a journey. This coming January 1st will be 5 years of practicing yoga every single day and it is incredible to look back on all of the things I have learned in the process.
My most challenging moment was that moment where I could have buried the voice that was telling me to no longer pursue a career of acting. I could have ignored that voice and kept doing what I was doing. I had been telling those around me for so long that all I ever wanted to do was act. There was no second career if that one failed, it was simply the end all be all. I am so glad I decided to listen to that voice and make a change for the better.
One step at a time. I used to worry so much about what came next and then I started to focus on the present and what I could control. The only moment we can control is the one we are in right now. I try to be as present as possible and be a witness to my breath.
My parents. I have always been incredibly close with my parents and I am so lucky to have the relationship that I have with each of them. I am inspired by how hard they work and how much they love. They have been together for 36 years and their relationship has always inspired me.
My favorite places are New Zealand and Martha's Vineyard. Two very different places half a world away from each other. New Zealand became a very important place for me when I studied there abroad in college in 2008 and I always remember being the happiest I had ever been during the 5 months I was there. I went with a study abroad group and I didn't know a soul. I chose to stay with a host family which was the very best decision I could have made. I was the only American in the city that lived with a family and I was so lucky. I had two wonderful parents, Marg and Trevor, who still live there and I cannot wait to go back to visit them. I made the best friends I could have hoped for and traveled around the south island every single chance I could. The people of New Zealand are the nicest. You can ask someone for directions and they will personally show you the way. I cannot wait to go back!
Martha's Vineyard has been a very special place for me since the age of 2 when my parents first started to go there. We belong to a co-op in Chilmark that is outside of the busyness of the few little towns of the island and it is so serene. There are about 30 members that belong to Barn House and we all choose when to come during the summer months. There are people that I have grown up with and have only seen summer after summer and it will always hold a special place in my heart. We stay in little cabins throughout the property and we eat together in a big barn. In the morning we have chores after breakfast to keep the property in working shape and the rest of the day is spent at Lucy Vincent Beach just across the street or on the hammock reading a good book. I always bring a pile of books with me each summer and I am asleep before 9. It is the best.
I love lululemon to both teach and practice in. I have pants from many other brands but almost every time I reach into my closet I reach for lululemon. The align pants are my favorite because they stay on your body just as you put them on. While other brands will slide down and move around on you, these will not. The free to be wild bra is hands down my favorite bra. My manduka black pro yoga mat is also one of my favorites. I've had it for at least 6 years and it only gets better with age.
I love creating a safe space for people to come together and practice in. Wherever I teach I make sure that my students know that it is their space. I allow them to make their practice as gentle or challenging as they need. We all come onto our mats for different reasons and every single day is different. No one person can tell another how they are feeling. You are the only person that knows how you are feeling at any point in time and your practice is yours alone. I remind students of this throughout their practice. I encourage them to create space with each and every breath that they take.


We went out to capture the day in the life of one of TJ's 8 wheel tipper drivers, Chris, as he goes about his day collecting and delivering aggregate, telling us why he enjoys his job, and what he likes about TJ Transport. Our crew filmed in a Documentary 'Fly on the wall' style to produce this short film that is now being used as a recruitment tool to help TJ Transport find new drivers as they expand their business across the country.
I have used Southpoint Films for a number of video projects now, and it's fair to say I've been excited to work with them each and every time. Their enthusiasm and customer focus, coupled with a transparent pricing structure, makes for a refreshing experience. Be it a promotional or training video, their technical knowledge, creative experience and equipment have always produced the best possible results.


Are you ready ladies? Relationship expert Amara Blessing Nwosu is known for her wealth of wisdom when it comes to relationships. She shares this awesome write-up on her Facebook page and it is worth reading ladies.
I know you are desperately in need of a man to call your own. You left the prayer group in your local assembly to join the ushering or music department. You are now a member of your senior pastor's protocol department and so all the guests coming to church see you. You move around with your CEO as his executive assistant. You have relocated to where the big boys are and yet, nothing is happening. Those eligible bachelors date you only to go for someone else when it's time to take her home to mama. You know you are well behaved, godly, cultured, educated, and civilized. Some have even come to see your parents only to dump you later on. You are tired of attending friends weddings and being called to be the maid of honor. "When am I going to be married?", you ask.
Hear this: The problem is not in your location. Your department in church is not the problem. Don't waste your time thinking those things are the issue. I agree that to an extent, your fashion sense, size, and look could be the problem, but that's not your case. You dress well, speak well, behave well, serve in a very visible church and work department, and live in a good location. What could be wrong?
Favour is the issue here. When the favour of God comes upon you, protocols are broken. When you walk and live in favour, things that are impossible become possible. When you walk in favour, you live above human limits.
The Bible says that "he who finds a wife…"; it is not your duty to do the finding. Like I always say, men love to conquer and once they are able to conquer that woman they admire, they do everything humanly possible to protect her. But when you go out of your way to conquer a man, he has little or no attraction towards you and he, more often than not, feels less of a man. Because he feels conquered by you, he will go all out in search of one to conquer. Allow him to do the searching and finding.
Is Amara telling you to just fold your hands and do nothing while he searches to find you? Not at all. Your duty is to find favour. Stay in God's presence, walk with Him without thinking of benefits; just walk with God and work for Him. Spend time finding favour so when that man finally finds you, he comes in contact with divine favour.
There must be a change in a man's situation when he finds a woman because she carries favour. There is something about favour; it does what makeup and designer wears can't do. Favour makes the ugly beautiful. Favour makes the unqualified to be qualified. Favour makes your face to glow in God's glory. Favour attracts men to you. Favour is it my ladies; God's favour is what you need.
