If I asked you to name some famous female magicians, how many do you think you could name? If your answer is none then don't feel bad. Very few people can even name one.
However, if you asked the same question about famous male magicians, you'd be hard pushed to find anyone that can't pull a Harry Houdini or Dynamo out of their sleeve.
As a female magician myself, I'm curious to find out what's going on. Are women just not that into performing magic anymore? Or is there a deeper mystery here?
So, if you'd like to step behind the veil with me, let's go find out.
A search online will tell you that the earliest known male magician on record is Dedi from 2700 B.C. who's performances for King Cheops included the conjuring of balls illusion, which is a fancy name for the cup and balls trick.
According to Google though, it would take over 4500 years for the first female magician to make herself known, with American stage magician and escapologist Dorothy Dietrich successfully performing the bullet catch trick on international television in 1988.
So perhaps the issue here is actually the label of "magician", which despite being defined as an umbrella term for "witches", "wizards", "sorcerers" and "sorceress" is really a word that tends to conjure up visuals such as this. So, let's take a look instead at the earliest known witches.
The earliest known reference to a witch is in the Bible, specifically the book of 1 Samuel, written between 931 B.C. and 721 B.C. The book refers to King Saul seeking help from the Witch of Endor to help him overwhelm the Philistine army using "dark magic".
Back in those times, witches were revered as the mediators between mankind and mysterious supernatural forces, such as spirits and angels. However, the public image of witches somehow fell into sharp decline, leading to them being viewed as wicked and not to be trusted.
This led to the persecution of witches, with suspected witches being tossed into the water with their thumbs bound to their feet. If they floated they were killed for resisting the "baptismal water". If they sank, they were considered innocent of witchcraft – a bittersweet vindication, considering that many of them often drowned.
The Salem witch trials then began in February 1692, with hundreds of people being accused of witchcraft, 19 of whom met a grisly end by hanging. Many others, perhaps in the tens of thousands, were also burned alive at the stake elsewhere in the world.
It's worth noting that not all convicted witches were women. Though you never really did hear about the wise old wizards being burned alive at the stake for practising magic, so if women needed a powerful incentive to avoid getting into magic then this was probably it!
The Magic Circle is a secretive society founded in Britain in 1905. Its purpose is to promote and advance the art of magic, with many famous illusionists, including David Copperfield and the late Paul Daniels bearing the prestigious title of Member of The Magic Circle.
Unfortunately, until recently, that prestige was unavailable to women, with Fay Presto being granted eventual entry into the Magic Circle in 1991 after 75% of its members voted to accept female magicians. As of 2016, there are more than 60 female members in The Magic Circle.
This initial lack of women in The Magic Circle may have contributed to the low number of performing female magicians, as the valuable knowledge and secret tips traded among Magic Circle Members would have been unavailable to them.
If you follow the news you'll know that gender equality in the workplace has been a hot topic for some time now, with many claiming that women aren't given the same opportunities as men. The magic industry is no exception with a female magicians' role during a magic show often being assumed to be that of the glamorous assistant.
As we mentioned earlier, Fay Presto, born Oliver Winter in May 1948, was the first female member of the Inner Magic Circle. She's best known for kickstarting the close-up magic scene, where she would perform magic in restaurants and bars. This act would eventually win her the title of The Magic Circle Close-up Magician of the Year 2012.
Born as Adelaide Scarcez in 1853 in London, she went on to marry magician Alexander Herrmann in 1875. Together they performed magic tricks such as the bullet catch and various escape routines, with Adelaide initially functioning as Alexanders' assistant. After Alexander's death in 1896, Adelaide kept the show going and went on to become the star of it.
Born in 1869, Lulu was an American stage magician famous for her demonstrations of immense physical strength as the "Georgia Wonder" or "Laughing Lulu". Her act included having several men hold a chair in place, which she would then move with apparent ease. The sight of a teenage girl apparently possessing the strength of several men after "gaining superpowers in an electrical storm" was an excellent crowd puller in several major American cities.
Annie Abbot was an American stage magician born as Dixie Annie Haygood in 1861. She was inspired to become a magician after witnessing Lulu Hurst perform her feats of physical strength and went on to develop a similar act. This was helped by her smaller stature (compared to Lulu) which made her act seem even more impressive.
Mildred Snelling or Margaretha Gertz vanDorn was known as Minerva The Queen of Mystery and performed during the mid-1890s in Europe. She is considered to be one of the first successful female escape artists, with a particular talent for handcuff escapes. Her tricks also included a version of Harry Houdini's Milk Can Escape trick, which she gained far more attention for, much to his dismay.
Dubbed as "The World's Youngest Mental Marvel" Yvonne Loretta Papkin started out her mentalism career in 1930, aged just 8 years old. She was the daughter of vaudeville mentalists Doc Irving and "Princess Yvonne" and was the star of their act, securing her place as a popular child entertainer of the times.
Born in 1925, Lesley was an Australian mentalist and one half of The Piddingtons act, performing alongside her husband Sydney Piddington. Together they performed stage and radio telepathy acts such as The Diving Bell Experiment where Lesley was submerged in a swimming pool with Sydney allegedly communicating with her telepathically from the BBC studio.
Born in the United States in 1909 as Lucille Gaillard, Lucille was a mentalist along with her husband Robert. Together they would perform a "second-sight" routine in nightclubs that involved one of them being blindfolded as the other mingled with the audience lifting up objects for the other to guess. The niche part of their act was the comedy element that they would weave into the routine, with humorous exchanges eventually leading to a full-blown "argument".
For one thing, you could argue that a magicians' costume hasn't really been designed with a female magician in mind. Many magic tricks involve the use of a long sleeved jacket or trousers with pockets and tend not to work so well with a skirt and cardigan!
Some magic tricks also generally work better when performed by men, such as using the palm of their hand to conceal a coin. This becomes problematic when you consider that most female hands tend to be much smaller, making the trick harder (but not impossible) to produce.
I'm really interested in hearing what you think, particularly if you can think of any other reasons that I may have missed. I also hope that this article hasn't come across as an attack on male magicians in any way. Some of my best friends and idols are male magicians and I have nothing but complete admiration and respect for what they have achieved.
Feel free to follow me on SOCIAL MEDIA and I hope to see you here again soon. Or if you want to see my work in action, head here.

Nurses' leader backs bill to aid euthanasia
Sarah Boseley
Fri 6 Jun 2003 05.04 EDT
A senior figure at the Royal College of Nursing yesterday became the most prominent member of the medical profession to take a public stand in support of voluntary euthanasia for incurable and terminally ill patients who consider their lives have become intolerable.
Karen Sanders, 42, chairs the ethics forum of the RCN and is a nurse and lecturer in ethics at a London teaching hospital. She has written to Lord Joffe, the sponsor of the patient (assisted dying) bill which will be debated in the Lords today, offering her support in an individual capacity. The bill seeks to legalise voluntary euthanasia under strict conditions.
"I feel strongly about voluntary euthanasia because I believe that competent adults who have incurable or insufferable diseases should have the right to make choices about their own lives," she said yesterday.
Ms Sanders, who specialised in intensive care nursing and neurosciences, said she, like many other doctors and nurses, had been asked for help by some patients who found their terminal illness unbearable and wanted to end their life. But it was a conversation she was not allowed to have.
"It is like a double-edged sword," she said. "You can't help them because of the law. You can sit down with them and find out why it is they feel they need to die and try to make their life more acceptable but there is also that sense that you can't provide them with what they really want. You have that sense of failure.
"I have been sympathetic to people's wishes to die and would like to have been able to help them."
She feels it is very wrong that Reginald Crew, 74, dying of motor neurone disease, should have had to go to Switzerland to end his life.
"Having to leave your home and travel to another country and die in a room that you have never been in before without your family or friends with you and for your wife to have to go back alone - it is quite gross," she said.
It is rare for those in the medical profession to speak out in favour of voluntary euthanasia, although more than 80% of the public support it and a survey this year found that 55% of doctors thought people who were suffering unbearably should receive medical help if they wanted to end their life.
But Ms Sanders felt she had to speak out. "I just feel that sometimes if you really do believe in something, you have to stand up and say what you believe," she said.
Deborah Annetts, chief executive of the Voluntary Euthanasia Society, said it was a difficult issue for those in the medical profession. "There have been a number of surveys which showed that 40% to 50% of doctors had received a request from a patient at some stage for help to die.
"That is something which is already facing them. Because this is at the moment regulated by the criminal law, it puts doctors in a rather isolated position. They can't really talk about it."
Ms Sanders' views are her own and do not represent the RCN, which does not have an official position. The British Medical Association has stormy debates over euthanasia and assisted suicide at its annual representative meetings, but its official stance, according to its head of ethics, Michael Wilks, is that the law should not be changed for the time being.
Dr Wilks said he did not support today's bill, but he would personally like to see a change in the law in very specific circumstances.
"I'm in favour of reducing the criminality of assisting a suicide in cases like Diane Pretty, although I don't think it is right not to make it a crime at all," he said. It should not be punishable by a long prison sentence, he said.

Though bedrooms are primarily for sleeping, they aren't meant to be dark all the time. A bedroom should have a combination of both portable and installed lighting to provide illumination for tasks like dressing and reading. More than that, your bedroom's lighting should also create a calm and soothing atmosphere for relaxation. If you think about it, the lighting ideas that pertain to the rest of your home apply to the bedroom as well.
Lighting experts agree that you should aim to light a room in layers. The most basic layer is general, or ambient, lighting. This allows for safe movement throughout the room and serves as a base upon which you layer the rest of your lighting design. Task lighting supplements general lighting where detailed activities take place, like reading, dressing, or applying makeup. Accent lighting highlights architectural features, artwork, or other focal points. Finally, decorative lighting creates the focal point itself, either through its fixture or the light it produces (i.e., a pattern on the wall).
When planning the lighting for your bedroom, keeps two ideas in mind to help you achieve the right feel: abundance and flexibility. Multiple light sources with lower wattage are preferable to a single bright fixture. And don't overlook the power of dimmers: Installing them can help you achieve the right mood when it's time to wind down at the end of the day. Click through for nine types of fixtures, each with its own place and functionality when it lives in the bedroom. Then, install a medley of these bedroom lighting ideas, and you'll be one step closer to your own oasis.
Like any other room, a bedroom needs general lighting. You want to provide enough light for dressing, while at the same time, keeping the tone warm and relaxing. Recessed lighting fixtures controlled by a dimmer gives you the ability to dial up the light while getting ready on a cloudy morning, or dial it down for your bedtime routine.
Wall sconces on either side of the bed can make nighttime reading all the more enjoyable. The rule of thumb for sconce height in a bedroom is 6 feet, with some adjustments if the ceiling is higher than average, or the bed is lower to the ground. Be sure upward facing sconces are above eye level so the bulbs are not visible.
Ceiling fans do double duty in bedrooms: regulating temperature and providing bright overhead lighting. For a softer effect, choose a light kit where bulbs are either covered by a shade, or are directed toward the ceiling. A ceiling fan controlled by a remote by your bedside will keep you from getting out of the covers once you've cozied yourself in for the night.
Table lamps provide both task and accent lighting. Placed on a dresser, a table lamp can illuminate socks, jewelry, and other accoutrement. On a nightstand, it'll offer easy access to reading light. Before deciding on a bedside table lamp, test the switch to be sure it's easily reached and controlled from the bed.
Pendant lights are most often seen in the kitchen, but if you want to mix things up, they can boost your bedroom style. Hanging pendant lights on either side of the bed frees up precious space on bedside tables, and hanging them over dressers and vanities contributes to the fashion and function of the room.
Portable reading lights offer great flexibility for nighttime readers sharing sleeping space with those who hit the pillow early. Versatility is the key to selecting one for your space. Make sure you can swivel or bend it to provide the right amount of light, while keeping the bulb out of your direct eye line.
A standing lamp is an excellent choice for a bedroom reading nook. Choose one that is focused downward, to provide the best task light. A standing lamp offers design flexibility as well. Should you decide to rearrange the furniture, your lighting can also be easily rearranged.
Bedrooms are a space for rest and relaxation, and properly placed rope lighting can play a big role in creating the right mood. Running rope lighting on the underside of a bed frame or the back of a headboard will produce a warm and welcoming glow. Add rope lighting to a tray ceiling to create a tranquil atmosphere in the entire room.

So, you've finally decided you want to pursue a marketing career. You're probably wondering if it will pay off, where you'll end up and if you'll even like it. Well, you are not alone. These questions always come with new territory, so we spoke to those who have already blazed that trail to ask what they wish they knew beforehand.
While you can't exactly "try before you buy" when it comes to a career in marketing, you can listen to the experts and learn from their experiences. Here are some insights they wish they would have known their first day on the job in their marketing career.
No matter where you end up in marketing, understanding analytics will range from being helpful to absolutely necessary on the job. If you didn't learn this in school, there are ways to teach yourself.
"You must start to get a foothold on the analytical side of it as soon as possible," says Nate Barber, digital analyst for prWorks. He recommends getting certified in a few areas like Google Analytics, Google AdWords, Hubspot and Hootsuite.
Writing is not just going to help you communicate in the corporate world, but it's becoming increasingly prominent in marketing itself. You'll need to be an effective writer in order to be a successful marketer.
"There are no classes on how to develop a thick skin and a lot of patience."
You will undoubtedly work with many different personalities in your marketing career. As in any other profession, you need to learn to work successfully with everyone, regardless of background, communication style and personality.
If you're vying for a career in marketing, a personal blog can give you the competitive edge you've been seeking in more ways than one. It's also a tangible way to show employers you are devoted to your profession and have taken the extra time to prove it.
If you want to make a splash in the marketing industry, you'll need to enter the ring with a rounded-out set of marketing skills in your arsenal.
You need to have a broad set of skills for a career in marketing — there's no getting around that. But once you master that groundwork of the fundamental skillset, build your expertise in a niche area.
"It is best to decide early which marketing discipline you enjoy most," says Anthony Famularo, marketing database analyst. Being able to hone in and master a certain skillset can make you a more attractive candidate to an employer who's looking to fill a specific piece of their marketing puzzle.
If you're the type that likes clear-cut, yes or no answers, a career in marketing may not be your cup of tea. But if you enjoy interpreting data, utilizing your creativity and exploring new concepts, you may find it to be a perfect fit.
"I realized pretty quickly that there is no clear answer or process in marketing."
If you want to cut through the noise and stand out from the pack in the marketing industry, the last thing you want to do is play it safe. Push yourself and your brand to be better.
With taking chances comes the possibility of failure. As with many things in life, you'll need to know how to make the most out of your mistakes.
"The majority of good marketing jobs are not all as glamorous as they may seem," Frederick says. Companies across all industries have marketing positions, and you may find yourself in one that's not quite as flashy as you pictured.
Frederick pictured working for a large consumer products company full of fun advertising pitches and cool TV commercials upon graduation. But just because your first impression may not live up to your preconceived notions, doesn't mean it won't end up being satisfying.
"It can still be fun and rewarding in a different, non-Mad Men sort of way," Frederick says.
"No two days will be alike."

Jeez, has the McCreery Trike design always looked this fucked?
Either these photos are squished, or someone sculpted this wrong because I'm sure the snout was that vertically squished.
The frill and eye horns are fine, but the snout is definitely a mess. Unless someone did a crap job at resizing the images for websites?
The bust is really cool but, it is too expensive.

Q: Inexplicable phpmailer <==> postfix Exchange I am trying to connect the (vital) email output from our new MantisBT bugtracking system to use our email server as a smart host. The idea is that the MantisBT system sends TLS traffic to port 587 on the email server, authenticating as special user (issues@mydomain.com), and the email server sends it to the destination. My understanding is that this is the right way to do it, but I could be wrong.
MantisBT uses phpmailer, which is (I think) appropriately configured to use SMTP 587, user id, yada, yada. The email server is a long standing iRedMail installation (which internally uses postfix) with no known issues. We use this technique for outgoing traffic for other internal servers without problem. Both servers are running Rocky Linux 9.1.
The problem is that all of MantisBT's attempts to send messages are immediately dropped.
I have enabled detailed debugging for MantisBT's ip in postfix, and get the following (left side of log removed for clarity):
 > unknown[159.xx.xx.20]: 220 mailserver.mydomain.com ESMTP Postfix
 watchdog_pat: 0x564330697960
 < unknown[159.xx.xx.20]: ????
 > unknown[159.xx.xx.20]: 500 5.5.2 Error: bad UTF-8 syntax
 watchdog_pat: 0x564330697960
 < unknown[159.xx.xx.20]: ??????
 > unknown[159.xx.xx.20]: 500 5.5.2 Error: bad UTF-8 syntax
 watchdog_pat: 0x564330697960
 < unknown[159.xx.xx.20]:
 dict_pcre_lookup: /etc/postfix/command_filter.pcre:
 > unknown[159.xx.xx.20]: 500 5.5.2 Error: bad syntax
 watchdog_pat: 0x564330697960
 smtp_get: EOF

Does anyone recognize this? Why would phpmailer send four question marks as a command in an SMTP exchange? Is this about STARTTLS?
Thanks for all help!

A: I am mildly ashamed to admit that this was caused by an error in the MantisBT email configuration. I had used $g_smtp_connection_mode = 'ssl'; where it should have been 'tls'. It consequently used SSL immediately instead of starting in plain text and then switching to encrypted communication following STARTTLS. The ???? in the postfix log are thus showing unprintable (encrypted) characters.

Neiman Marcus Could File for Bankruptcy as "Soon as This Week"
April 19, 2020 - By TFL
Neiman Marcus Group is expected to file to bankruptcy "as soon as this week," sources told Reuters, reporting that "the debt-laden Dallas-based company has been left with few options after the pandemic forced it to temporarily shut all 43 of its Neiman Marcus locations, roughly two dozen Last Call stores and its two Bergdorf Goodman stores in New York." The reports come just says after the department store chain missed debt payments totaling millions of dollars, including one – in which the retailer owes nearly $80 million – "that only gave it a few days to avoid a default."
Founded in 1907 in Dallas, Texas, Neiman Marcus has been experiencing falling sales and dogged rumors of prospective sale in recent years, with the Group's business – which has grown to include off-price Last Call stores, Bergdorf Goodman, and fashion e-commerce site MyTheresa, the latter of which it acquired in 2014 – has been pegged as a likely candidate for bankruptcy, particularly in light of the Coronavirus. Despite showing "some improved selling trends last year," speculation about its viability dates back before the onset of the global health pandemic as many retailers have struggled to evolve to meet consumers digitally-centered shopping habits, as well as a larger movement away from buying as much clothing as they had in the past.
Back in 2017, the company – which stocks an array of high fashion labels, including Tom Ford, Fendi, Gucci, Prada, and The Row at brick-and-mortar stores across the U.S. and online – aside plans for an initial public offering in favor of "exploring options," including changes to its capital structure change or a sale of the company to offset its enormous debt load. A year later, matters were made worse when it was hit with an ugly lawsuit, in which Marble Ridge Capital, a Neiman Marcus creditor, accused the retailer of fraudulently transferring its European e-commerce division, including MyTheresa, to private equity owners, Ares Management and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, and thereby, running afoul of the law.
In short, Marble Ridge, which filed suit in a Texas state court, argued that Neiman Marcus had engaged in a debut reshuffling scheme in order to prevent its domestic creditors from accessing an estimated $1 billion in assets.
Neiman Marcus responded to the suit by denying that it is "insolvent" and asserting that all of its stores are, in fact, profitable. The retailer asked the court to toss out Marble's case, and lodged claims of its own, namely for defamation, citing Marble's practice of "recklessly [making] false statements regarding the company's compliance with its debt documents with the intent of damaging the company."
It is against this background and given an increasingly difficult retailer landscape that "it's in the best interests of the Neiman Marcus brand and its future and all parties involved if there is a Chapter 11 bankruptcy if possible," a source told WWD last week of the ailing Group, noting, "You couldn't really have a liquidation of the business in this marketplace," said the source, referring to the impact of the coronavirus, in particular. "There are only three possible outcomes — the lenders operate the business, the business is sold to one party, or the business is liquidated."
Once the group files for bankruptcy, Neiman Marcus, which has borrowed about $4.8 billion, "could attract interest from potential suitors seeking to pick up the company or some of its assets on the cheap," ones of Reuters' sources states. As of now, it is said to be "in the final stages of negotiating a [multi-hundred million dollar] loan with its creditors" to enable it to remain open, in some capacity, during the impending bankruptcy proceedings.

Texas-Mexico Border
Texas Gov. Abbott Meets With Florida Gov. DeSantis About Border Security
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis deployed law enforcement officers to the Texas border with Mexico in response to a call for assistance
Published July 17, 2021 • Updated on July 19, 2021 at 10:52 am
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) hosted a briefing on border security Saturday afternoon with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
The briefing took place in Del Rio, a city about 160 miles west of San Antonio along the border with Mexico.
"What's happening here at the border may be happening here today but it may be happening in these other states tomorrow, next week or next month," Abbott said.
The meeting between the two Republican governors follows a June letter from Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) in which they issued a call for help from fellow governors under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact.

The letter requested "additional manpower" to help apprehend people attempting to illegally cross the border into the United States. DeSantis deployed law enforcement officers to the border in response.
"We appreciate you stepping up where the federal government won't and we understand how important this is to not just Texas, but other states," DeSantis said.
Abbott, who in June announced plans to build a wall along the state's border with Mexico, has repeatedly criticized Democrat President Joe Biden's administration's handling of the border and immigration.

Abbott and Ducey's letter said the administration has "proven unwilling or unable to do the job" of securing the border.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection numbers released Friday, the agency recorded 188,829 encounters on the Mexican border in June, the most since March 2000 and an increase of about 5% over May.
The majority of encounters were single adults, though encounters of unaccompanied children increased by 8% to 15,253 in June, well below the high of 18,663 unaccompanied children encountered in March by the Border Patrol.
The number of children in CBP custody fell to 832 on June 30 from 5,767 at its peak on March 29.
The number of migrant families encountered at the border increased by 25% from the previous month to 55,805 even as summer temperatures rise in the deserts and mountain terrain of the southwestern borderlands. The figure is below the high of 88,587 in May 2019.
Of the June encounters, 34% were people who had at least one prior encounter in the last 12 months, up from about 14% for 2014 to 2019 fiscal years, according to CBP.
Pandemic-related powers that the government uses to rapidly expel most migrants from the country without allowing them to seek asylum has led to a larger-than-average number of migrants trying to cross multiple times, which means the numbers "somewhat overstate" how many are arriving at the border, Customs and Border Protection said in the monthly report.
Being expelled carries no legal consequences, so many people try to cross multiple times.
Drug seizures were down 30% overall in June from the previous month, however, interceptions of some drugs, including cocaine and fentanyl increased 30% and 12%, respectively.
Abbott has highlighted the flow of drugs, specifically fentanyl, across the border into the U.S. as a reason to bolster law enforcement efforts.
CBP said it has seen a surge in fentanyl seizures, which are 78% higher for the 2021 fiscal year through June over the 2020 fiscal year.
Abbott and DeSantis will be joined by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw, Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd, Adjutant General of Texas Tracy Norris, National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd and Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez.

Being that we are outdoors majority of the day we want to keep the children hydrated and still eating properly. We noticed pretty early on that it becomes very easy to grab a bunch of chips and other unhealthy snacks for the kids. This is NOT something we wanted to get in the habit of. So I decided to contact Bare Fruit Snacks in hopes of reviewing one of their healthier products.
"Bare Fruit Snacks are all-natural and the organic chips are certified by Washington State, the hardest organic certifiers in the country. We make every effort to be environmentally friendly and will be 100% carbon neutral in 2013." Each are low in calories, fat free, full of fiber, and even when additional flavoring is added it is organic cinnamon and other natural flavors to keep it as "good-for-you" as possible.
Bare fruits gladly sent me over their Cinnamon Apple Chips to try in a HUGE 14 oz bag. I was beyond happy to break these out the next day poolside. I was even happier to see the easy open and close seal so these would stay fresh (if they even lasted that long). Not only did Amy and myself love these but they were a huge hit with the kids.
I loved that they didn't taste like your normal cheap freeze dried apple chips but like an actual dried fruit piece (as it's obviously stated on the front of the bag too)! These had such a sweet flavor so much that they tasted like a treat!
Recommendation: Not only did I love knowing what I was eating as well as where it came from but I loved the fact that they are socially responsible and environmentally conscious as a whole corporate company. I would definitely recommend these!
Giveaway: Bare Fruit Snacks is going to give one of A Lucky Ladybug's lucky readers a case of apple chips of their own!
I don't like the dark green color for some of the words--they're pretty hard to read!

Preclearence in Punta Cana promotes tourism and does not violate the Constitution
They ensure initiative will benefit the security between the United States and the DR.
It would make the country more competitive as a Caribbean tourist destination.
The preclearance or pre-air check-in agreement for travelers leaving the Dominican Republic for the United States will benefit Dominican tourism and the security of both countries, according to lawyers Olivo Rodríguez Huerta and Nassef Perdomo Cordero.
Both jurists assured that the agreement, which will be applied in principle at the Punta Cana international airport (AIPC), is not unconstitutional nor does it damage national sovereignty, as four former magistrates of the Constitutional Court affirm, they specified in a press release.
Rodríguez Huerta and Perdomo Cordero agreed to endorse the agreement between the two countries so that passengers traveling to that country from Dominican airports can pass immigration and customs controls when leaving the country and not upon arrival in the United States.
The jurists considered that the agreement is not unconstitutional and, therefore, does not threaten national sovereignty. On the contrary, they assured that it would benefit tourism and the United States and the Dominican Republic's security.
In particular, Perdomo Cordero emphasized that the agreement does not violate the Constitution because it is only about transferring to Dominican airports an administrative process carried out in US air terminals.
"In no way does it diminish the power of the Dominican State in the pre-check areas, nor does it cede its powers to the United States. It does not imply the transfer of Dominican law, because, in our understanding, the customs pre-authorization zones will not have the status of American sovereignty since, for example, article seven of the treaty provides that Dominican laws apply in that area, "he said.
For his part, Rodríguez Huerta understands that the customs pre-check agreement is an exclusive initiative of the Dominican Government to strengthen relations with the United States and is a compensation mechanism against the appearance of new tourist destinations and the problems of the sector due to COVID -19.
"Pre-authorization is an opportunity for the Dominican Republic, especially now where tourism lags behind other sectors and where a significant part of foreign visitors come from that country," he said.
After assessing the advantages that the RD-USA pre-screening agreement for air travel will have in terms of airport security, the jurists consider that it is part of a context of globalization, in an interconnected world and with permanent movements of people, which requires close collaboration between countries to address numerous challenges and threats such as organized crime and terrorism.

Proving to be a bit of a bone of contention this one! Seems if you are a UK resident you can get an EHIC (?) card (used to be an E111 card) which lasts five years and gives you reciprocal heathcare rights as UK and France are all part of the EU. In principle you only have to pay a top up for which you can get private insurance, if you are permanently resident (hence staying longer than 5 years) then you are expected to be paying French tax whcih will give you rights to use their healthcare system.
Jersey is not part of the EU though so its not so straightforward (especially in my case!) as whilst there is a reciproval arrangement and you can obtain an 'Attestation Certificate' for you and your dependants (spouse, children etc.) this lasts for a year and meets 80% of the cost of hospital or emergency heathcare requirements for 'short stays' in France.
As a Jersey taxpayer (and ITIS) for the last 4 years I am effectively no longer entitled (it seems) to a UK reciprocal arrangement (though that has yet to be confirmed), after all I hold a UK/EU passport and paid UK NI contributions for something like 25 years!
So its looking like I shall have to continue paying ITIS contributions to Jersey as I shall still be working for a Jersey company though I shall be splitting my time between Jersey and France. With tax it is slightly different as Jersey are saying I 'only' pay tax for the days I am working IN Jersey, hilst in France I will be liable to pay tax to them as 'world income' but that is at a rate of currently 28%! French tax includes their health/national insurance etc. all rolled into one though so its actually not too bad a deal, unless you still have to pay for health contributions etc. elsewhere, such as in Jersey! Watch this space, more will surely follow as a I have ameeting with the Jersey Social Security Dept. in a couple of weeks.

Japanese Comedians Stranded On Desert Island, The Game
Author: Pat MillerPat Miller
Ever wonder how two Japanese comedians would fare on a deserted island? Probably not, but next year you'll be able to find out on your Nintendo DS anyway - Tottado~! Yoiko No Mujintou Seikatsu was announced by Namco-Bandai Games.
Those of you who dug Chris' coverage on Game Center CX: Arino's Challenge, a Nintendo DS game based on a Japanese TV show starring comedian Shinya Arino, might be pleased to discover that he's returning for another DS game.
Unfortunately, this one isn't aimed at the retro game enthusiasts; instead, Arino's showing up as part of Yoiko, his comedy duo from Osaka, and the game revolves around him and his partner's attempts to survive on a deserted island.
Famitsu's article shows a few screenshots of each of the game (called Tottado~! Yoiko No Mujintou Seikatsu, or Yoiko's Deserted Island Life) - it's composed of a handful of stylus-heavy minigames, where you catch fish, cook, build a house, and do other kinds of deserted-island things.
Given the incredibly specific nature of this title, I can't imagine that the appeal is quite as translatable as Game Center CX's is, but it's due out in Japan during Spring 2008. I will say, however, that I envy the Japanese gaming market; how cool would it be to get Stephen Colbert's Civilization? Though I suppose this is probably going to be closer to a video game starring David Letterman. Or, you know, that Penn and Teller game. Commenters, let's hear some other suggestions for unlikely celebrity video game titles.

Finding the best web development company is a very tough task as we are already surrounded by a lot of top website development companies. Appxtech is one of the 2019's Best Web Development Companies for Startups Entrepreneurs in the USA & India.
See what your friends are saying about Appxtech.


CZECH REPUBLIC: Rolling stock manufacturer Škoda Transportation and national operator ČD unveiled the first of 14 long-distance EMUs at the Velim test circuit on June 25. ČD had ordered the fleet in August 2014 at a cost of KC2·6bn.
Branded 'InterPanter' following a public competition organised by ČD and Škoda which attracted more than 5 000 responses, the dual-system aluminium-bodied EMU shares basic dimensions and key components with the RegioPanter EMU that Škoda has been supplying to ČD since November 2011. The operator has ordered 10 five-car sets and four three-car variants capable of operating from 25 kV 50 Hz and 3 kV DC power supplies at up to 160 km/h.
Passenger amenities include a PRM TSI-compliant accessible interior, air-conditioning, power sockets and wi-fi. The trains also feature compartments designed to suit families travelling with children and an electronic seat reservation system. To reflect the needs of the inter-city market, the trains have only a single wide double-leaf door per side, rather than two on the RegioPanter fleet.

Who or what actually owns the London Ideal Org building? It would be nice to know that whatever owns it is not a registered charity in the UK. That way, if it is not wholly or mainly used for charitable purposes (which it never was) then somebody has to pay the non-domestic rates.
RolandRB, May 18, 2014
I am still very unhappy about the City of London Corporation sponsoring the cult to commit child abuse to the tune of 300K GBP per year. I wish I could write a letter to the comptroller to tell him about the fraud that was perpetrated upon them but I can not come up with the wording. But if there were somebody out there that could come up with the wording who did not want to face the unpleasant consequences when the cult found out about it then that letter they wrote could instead have been sent by me with my signature on it if that person were willing.
PM me the details...

I wonder if the City of London Corporation, in the interests of treating all charities in its borough equally fairly, have assumed the role of the overseer of COSRECI in that it operates on an equal basis with other charities in the UK. Perhaps somebody would like to draft a letter. It could be me who posts it if there is a problem with murdered pets and such-like.
RolandRB, Jun 15, 2014
^^ maybe somebody who is good at writing letters to local authorities could help out with this one. Please PM me if you can help.
I just thought I would point out one small thing that perhaps nobody has considered before. I have read many of the UN-audited accounts that COSRECI has filed with Companies House in the UK. For each and every year, nearly all their income has been paid to other churches as owed to them. It does not say what those other churches are, but it would be fair to assume they are controlling churches in the US and maybe offshore Scientology trusts as well. COSRECI was set up by the controlling Church in the US and is answerable to them. If they sap their fingers then COSRECI must jump, or have their "trustees" spend ten years in the Hole. So when they do get a HUGE subsidy from the City of London Corporation then how does that money get spent? The answer to that you can already work out. It gets given to the "churches" they owe money to. The British taxpayer is paying off the debts of COSRECI to make the US cult of Scientology that much richer.

For each and every year, nearly all their income has been paid to other churches as owed to them.
I think we fairly safely can conclude it's not the Pentecostals or the Church of the Sub-Genus
Random guy, Jun 21, 2014
This ECHR judgment against the LDS Church might mean that the clams can not fall back on the "place of public religious worship" argument if they ever lost rates relief on their church at 146 Queen Victoria Street.
http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/pages/search.aspx?i=001-141369#{"itemid":["001-141369"]}
If they ever did lose that rates relief then I think they would implode in two years in the UK and would probably close down in the country apart from a few "city offices".
tinfoilhatter Member
so why has no one made a fuss over this yet? This looks like a good argument, and in this economy, politicians are looking for any excuse to cut someones funding.

COLCORP runs like a private corporation rather than a govt arm.
White Tara, Aug 1, 2014
tinfoilhatter said: ↑
Some people have but it has gotten nowhere. The CoLCorp regard the laws of the land as purely advisory - it is they who finance government so they have never felt any obligation to actually give heed to laws in the sense of actually obeying them. But they are glad those laws are there as they are effectively paying for the formulation of these laws to keep the rest of the country under proper financial control.

His parents had divorced when he was just a child, and he and his sister were legally adopted by his stepfather, Jewish South African novelist Harry Saul Bloom. Orlando had believed Harry was his biological father until his mother revealed the truth when he turned thirteen. His biological father, Colin Stone, became his guardian after the death of Harry.
Orlando attended St. Peter's Methodist Primary School, King's School, and eventually St. Edmund's School as a child. He was diagnosed with dyslexia, which made him pursue art.
