Member of Parliament for Llanelli & Shadow Secretary of State for Wales
Nia Griffith is the Member of Parliament for Llanelli and Labour's Shadow Secretary of State for Wales. She lives in Llanelli, and before becoming an MP, worked as a language teacher in local comprehensive schools and Estyn inspector.
Her previous parliamentary roles, when Labour was in Government, include being Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP, Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, working on the Climate Change Bill, the Marine Bill and flooding, and PPS to Harriet Harman MP supporting her work as Leader of the House of Commons, Minister for Women and Equalities and Acting Leader of the Labour Party
Since Labour has been in opposition, she has served as a shadow business minister, with responsibility for consumer affairs and employment, Shadow Wales Minister and Shadow Secretary of State for Defence.
Nia links her parliamentary work very directly with the interests and concerns of her constituents, and combines action through legislation and questioning ministers in Parliament with a very hands-on approach to problems in the constituency.

Indian Railways launches passenger complaint portal, Mobile Phone App
Posted by admin | Mar 3, 2015 | Indian Railways, News | 0 |
After three days of the budget, Railways on Monday launched a mobile phone App and also an online portal with a view to providing customers with "an effective forum to lodge complaints".
Railway minister Suresh Prabhu said that people can also use these forums to send suggestions for improving railway services and if found suitable the valuable suggestions on the newly-launched portal will be incorporated.
"There should not be any complaints ideally, but if about 3 crore passengers will travel in more than 10,000 trains daily, some complaints might come up," Prabhu said.
"So, there should be an effective forum to lodge complaints," Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said after launching the portal and the App.
Passengers can lodge their complaints and suggestions on the webpage www.indianrailways.gov.in. One can also download the mobile App from the URL www.coms.indianrailways.gov.in. for registering complaints and sending suggestions.
Passengers can also SMS their complaints to the number: 9717630982. The launch of complaint management was part of the Rail Budget proposals.
The complaint will be auto assigned to the railway official concerned for redressal. The complainant will receive a message on his mobile phone and via email about the action taken on the matter.
As to a time-frame for the redressal of complaints, the Railway Minister said, "We will finalise the time-frame after a few days of stabilisation of the system."
Railways will advertise the portal and the App on social networking sites and other platforms to popularise it.
The Customer Complaint Portal will later also be available in Hindi and other regional languages.
Prabhu said that besides registering complaints, a system has also been devised to track the status of the complaints.
After registering a complaint, the complainant will be given a unique ID number which can be used for tracking the progress of the complaint.
"One can also send images like dirty linen or whatever one wants to complain about through the system," he said.

Colorado Springs World Affairs Council to Host 2020 International Women of Courage Award Recipient
Colorado Springs, CO, March 6, 2020 – Colorado Springs World Affairs Councilwill host a recipient of the U.S. Secretary of State's International Women of Courage (IWOC) Award on March March 10-14 as part of a two-week exchange program. The IWOC Award annually recognizes women from around the world who have demonstrated exceptional courage, strength and leadership in acting to improve others' lives. As part of the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program, the awardees visit U.S. universities, businesses, and nonprofit organizations to share strategies and ideas to empower women around the globe.
Colorado Springs World Affairs Councilis hostingAmaya Coppens of Nicaragua. Coppens is one of the leaders of the 19th of April Student Movement in Nicaragua. She participated in numerous protests against the Sandinista government and the violent, repressive tactics deployed by its security forces. In September 2018, she was abducted by Nicaraguan police from her residence after participating in a peaceful protest. She was released in June and continued to speak out against the regime in Nicaragua. She had the opportunity to repatriate to Belgium during her first captivity, but refused. On November 14, Coppens was imprisoned again when she and 12 other activists attempted to bring water to mothers of political prisoners on hunger strike. She and other political prisoners were released by the regime on December 30, 2019.
Coppens will meet with several organizations in Colorado Springs to speak about her experience, including students at UCCS and a panel of elected leaders. Coppens story in is in furtherance of IWOC's goal to explain how work of these courageous women directly impacts and promotes U.S. national security.
The 2020 IWOC recipients received their awards at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. on March 4 and are now headed to cities across the United States as part of the IVLP. The program concludes in Los Angeles, California on March 17.
"Since the inception of the International Women of Courage Award in 2007, the State Department's International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) has hosted awardees in 36 communities across 23 states in the United States," said Marie Royce, Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. "During their exchange program, the International Women of Courage awardees will meet and share ideas with Americans, creating new relationships and lasting bonds critical to U.S. foreign policy. I know that their stories and life experiences will engage, inspire, and empower the Americans they meet."
For the past 80 years, the IVLP has connected current and emerging leaders from around the world to the United States through short-term exchanges. The program has grown to include over 225,000 alumni, including more than 500 current and former heads of state, and continues to build vital linkages between U.S. citizens and emerging leaders throughout the world. The IVLP continues to play a critical role in U.S. foreign policy and provides an opportunity for the next generation of leaders to gain firsthand experience in the United States.

Fluorine is the most reactive chemical element. That is why it is not found in nature in its elemental form, but only in compounds, such as fluorite -- that was the accepted scientific doctrine so far. A special fluorite, the "fetid fluorite" or "antozonite," has been the subject of many discussions for nearly 200 years. This mineral emits an intensive odor when crushed.
Now, for the first time, scientists from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) have successfully identified natural elemental fluorine in this fluorspar.
Fluorine is the most reactive of all chemical elements and calls for extremely careful handling. It is so aggressive that glass laboratory instruments cannot resist it and even bricks burn when exposed to fluorine gas.
Yet elemental fluorine has numerous industrial applications including corrosion prevention or fuel tank diffusion barriers and it is used for the production of sulphur hexafluoride, which serves as insulating material in high voltage switches.
Because of its extreme properties, until now chemists were convinced that fluorine cannot occur in nature in its elemental form, but only as a fluoride ion, for instance in minerals such as fluorite (CaF2), also known as fluorspar.
A certain variety of it, the so-called "fetid fluorite" or "antozonite" from the "Maria" mine in Woelsendorf in the Upper Palatinate (Germany), has been an object of contention in science for some 200 years. When crushed, it emits an unpleasant, pungent smell.
A number of eminent chemists, among them Friedrich Woehler (1800-1882) and Justus von Liebig (1803-1873), proposed various substances to explain the odor. Over the years, scientists resorted to olfactory tests, chemical analyses and complex mass spectrometer studies -- coming to very different conclusions.
Next to elemental fluorine, substances like iodine, ozone, phosphorus compounds, arsenic, sulphur, selenium, chlorine, hypochlorous acid and hydrofluorocarbons were made responsible for the smell. Direct evidence that this fluorspar has inclusions of fluorine and that the gas does not form during crushing was lacking hitherto.
Now, finally, a scientific team led by Florian Kraus, head of the Fluorine Chemistry Work Group at the Department of Chemistry of the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, and by Joern Schmedt auf der Guenne, head of the Emmy-Noether Work Group for Solid State NMR at the Department of Chemistry of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, have succeeded in directly proving the presence of fluorine in "antozonite" beyond any doubt.
Using 19F-NMR spectroscopy, they were able to identify the fluorine "in-situ," i.e. non-destructively in its natural environment, and thereby put an end to the long discussions about the cause for the odor of "stinking fluorspar."
"It is not surprising that chemists doubted the existence of elemental fluorine in fetid fluorite," explain the researchers. "The fact that elemental fluorine and calcium, which would normally react with each other at once, are found here side by side is indeed hard to believe."
However, in the case of "antozonite" there are very special conditions: The elemental fluorine is generated through minute uranium inclusions in the mineral, which constantly emit ionizing radiation and thus split the fluorite into calcium and elemental fluorine.
The fluorine remains in minute inclusions, separated from the calcium by the non-reactive fluorite and thus retains its elemental form. The ionizing radiation also leads to the formation of calcium clusters, which give "antozonite" its dark color.

Errors about true marriage and family are widespread today in Catholic circles, particularly after the Extraordinary and Ordinary Synods on the family and the publication of Amoris Laetitia.
In the face of this reality, this Declaration expresses the resolve of its signatories to remain faithful to the Church's unchangeable teachings on morals and on the Sacraments of Marriage, Reconciliation and the Eucharist, and to Her timeless and enduring discipline regarding those sacraments.
In particular, the Declaration of Fidelity firmly reiterates that:
I. Regarding chastity, marriage and the rights of parents
All forms of cohabitation more uxorio outside of a valid marriage gravely contradict the will of God;
Marriage and the conjugal act have both procreative and unitive purposes and that each and every conjugal act must be open to the gift of life;
So-called sex-education is a basic and primary right of parents which must always be carried out under their attentive guidance;
People often wish to know if the relationship they are in is going to last forever, and if them and their partner are going to go the extra mile together, in these circumstance tarot reading explained that partners can get a reading...
The definitive consecration of a person to God through a life of perfect chastity is objectively more excellent than marriage.
II. Regarding cohabitation, same-sex unions and civil remarriage after divorce
Irregular unions can never be equated to marriage, deemed morally licit, or legally recognized;
Irregular unions radically contradict and cannot express the good of Christian marriage, neither partially nor analogously, and should be seen as a sinful way of life;
Irregular unions cannot be recommended as a prudent and gradual fulfilment of the divine law.
III. Regarding Natural Law and the individual conscience
The conscience is not the source of good and evil, but a reminder of how an action must comply with divine and natural law;
A well-formed conscience will never reach the conclusion that, given the person's limitations, his remaining in an objectively sinful situation can be his best response to the Gospel, nor that this is what God Himself is asking from him;
People cannot look at the Sixth Commandment and the indissolubility of marriage as mere ideals to strive after; Visit psychic source to get a psychic guidance for a better relationship.
Personal and pastoral discernment can never lead divorcees that are "remarried" civilly to conclude that their adulterous union can be morally justified by "fidelity" to their new partner, that withdrawing from the adulterous union is impossible, or that, by doing so, they expose themselves to new sins;
Divorcees that are "remarried" civilly and who cannot satisfy the grave obligation to separate, are morally obliged to live as "brother and sister" and to avoid scandal, in particular any display of intimacy proper to married couples.
IV. Regarding discernment, responsibility, state of grace and state of sin
Divorcees that are "remarried" civilly and who choose their situation with full knowledge and consent of the will are not living members of the Church, as they are in a state of serious sin that prevents them from possessing and growing in charity;
There is no halfway point between being in the grace of God or being deprived of it by mortal sin. Spiritual growth for someone living in an objective state of sin consists in abandoning that situation;
Since God is omniscient, revealed and natural law provide for all particular situations, especially when they forbid specific actions "intrinsically evil";
The complexity of situations and the varying degrees of responsibility among cases do not prevent pastors from concluding that those in irregular unions are in an objective state of manifest grave sin, and to presume in the external forum that they have deprived themselves of sanctifying grace;
Since man is endowed with free will, voluntary moral acts must be imputed to its author, and such imputability must be presumed;
V. Regarding the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist
The confessor is bound to admonish penitents regarding transgressions of God's Law, and to ensure they truly desire absolution and God's pardon, and are resolved to re-examine and correct their behavior;
Divorcees that are "remarried" civilly and remain in their objective state of adultery, can never be considered by confessors as living in an objective state of grace and entitled to receive absolution or be admitted to the Holy Eucharist, unless they express contrition and firmly resolve to abandon their state of life;
No responsible discernment can sustain that admission to the Eucharist is permitted to divorcees that are "remarried" civilly and live openly more uxorio, under the claim that, due to diminished responsibility, no grave fault exists, because their outward state of life objectively contradicts the indissoluble character of Christian marriage;
Subjective certainty in conscience about the invalidity of a previous marriage is never sufficient, on its own, to excuse divorcees that are "remarried" civilly from the material sin of adultery, or to permit them to disregard the sacramental consequences of living as a public sinner;
Those who receive the Holy Eucharist must be worthy to do so by being in the state of grace and, therefore, divorcees that are "remarried" civilly and lead a public sinful lifestyle, risk committing a sacrilege by receiving Holy Communion;
According to the logic of the Gospel, men who die in the state of mortal sin, unreconciled with God, are condemned to hell forever;
VI. Regarding the Church's maternal and pastoral attitude
The clear teaching of the truth is an eminent work of mercy and charity;
The impossibility of giving absolution and Holy Communion to Catholics living manifestly in an objective state of grave sin stems from the Church's maternal care, since She is not the owner of the Sacraments, but a faithful steward;
VII. Regarding the universal validity of the Church's constant magisterium
The doctrinal, moral and pastoral questions concerning the Sacraments of the Eucharist, Penance and Marriage shall be resolved by interventions of the Magisterium and, by their very nature, preclude contradictory interpretations or the drawing of substantially diverse practical consequences from it;
While the plagues of divorce and sexual depravity spread everywhere, even within the life of the Church, it is the duty of bishops, priests and Catholic faithful to declare, with one voice, their fidelity to the Church's unchangeable teachings on marriage and to Her uninterrupted discipline, as received from the Apostles.
"Let marriage be honored among all"
(Heb. 13: 4)
Join thousands of concerned bishops,
priests and Catholic faithful declaring
their fidelity to the unchangeable
teachings of the Church on marriage and
Her uninterrupted discipline.

Egypt is one of the oldest countries in the world. In the 4th century BC, about 20 large city-states were located on the shores of the Nile. They were unified into one country afterwards. It was formed approximately in 2700 BC. The first capital of Egypt was Memphis. For hundreds of years, the powerful country had managed to fend Hyksos and Assyrians off. Only in 30 BC, Egypt lost its independence and became a part of the Roman Empire.
In the 4th-7th centuries AD, the country was under Byzantium and after over 500 years – under the Arab caliphate. Egypt did not also elude the times of the Ottoman Empire's reign that had been lasting for almost 400 years. In the late 19th century, the country became a British colony. It became officially independent of Great Britain in 1922.
Despite the fact that a lot of travelers come to Egypt for beach recreation and sightseeing tours, the country is not limited only to these entertainments. The Nile cruises aboard of luxurious cruise liners are very popular with tourists. These liners even resemble fashionable floating hotels offering its guests the best conditions for comfortable leisure and entertainments. During such cruises, you can see attractions of old cities, acquaint with the national cuisine and take part in interesting evening entertainments.
Shopping enthusiasts should definitely pay their attention to local markets and workshops where they can buy a lot of interesting products. The most popular souvenirs are hookahs. In Egypt, you also can buy lovely natural cotton items at an affordable price. The important peculiarity of large tourist cities is a wide choice of jewelry workshops that are also distinguished by attractive prices.
Shopping in Egypt - best shopping places, what to buy?
In colorful Egyptian markets, you can buy natural essential oils and perfumes and cosmetics produced of them. Other popular gifts are spices and sweets. Local markets attract gourmets too. Here, at small cafes and restaurants, you can taste the most popular national dishes. For European tourists, fried pigeons are real exotics. They are even bred in Egypt in gastronomic purposes.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops is the utmost Wonder of the World. Right under it was found one of the most mysterious and outstanding underground cities of the world. The first researching works were held there in 1978. The underground tunnel that they found was named "Metropolis" or "City of the Gods". We have a lot of facts that say that under the pyramid was found a whole complex of tunnels, nevertheless, we can't check it.
Swimmers' Cave has placed on the territory of the Libyan Desert. There were found 6 000-year-old pictures of swimmers. The Hungarian explorer László Almásy was the first who has explored this cave and found these paintings. He came here in 1933 and then in 1994 the cave was detailed described in his book "The Unknown Sahara". As many others researchers László Almásy arrived at the conclusion that earlier the climate on the territory of the Sahara Desert was much better.
In Cairo, there is also an incredibly interesting Museum of Islamic Art, which collects historical artifacts and works of art all over the world. The museum in Cairo is very large, there are 25 galleries in its building, each of which represents artifacts of a certain time period. One of the most valuable exhibits of the museum is the gold key, inlaid with precious stones - this is the key to the doors of the Kaaba.


Women may struggle to conceive as they age because their ovaries become scarred and inflamed, new research suggests.
Until now it was believed fertility rates fell in females over 40 because the quality of their eggs declines.
But the new study suggests it might be damage to the ovaries, which produce the eggs, that is to blame instead.
Researchers are heralding the report as the first to reveal the effects of the ovarian environment.
The findings could result in new treatments that prolong fertility by delaying ovarian ageing.
Researchers from the Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago, compared ovarian tissue in 'young' and 'old' mice.
They found that up to 35 per cent of the tissue in the older mice had become fibrotic, meaning it had become thickened and scarred.
Lead author Dr Francesca Duncan, of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, said: 'Under the microscope, eggs from re-productively young and old animals may look identical, but the environment in which they are growing is completely different.
'Ovaries from re-productively old mice are fibrotic and inflamed.
The scientists also found a type of immune cell, which is associated with chronic inflammation, present in the ovaries of older mice.
The team is now investigating how to treat the ovarian environment to improve fertility.
The findings were published in the journal Reproduction.

Fauci says Americans who are fully vaccinated do not need booster shots at this time
(CNN) — Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday that the US government is not yet telling Americans who are fully vaccinated that they need a booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, based on the current data, despite Pfizer saying it might be time for a third shot.
Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," Fauci told CNN's Jake Tapper that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Food and Drug Administration is saying right now, "given the data and the information we have, we do not need to give people a third shot, a boost, superimposed upon the two doses you get with the mRNA (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccine) and the one dose you get with (Johnson & Johnson)."
Fauci said that there are ongoing studies evaluating if and when the US will recommend booster shots.
"There's a lot of work going on to examine this in real time to see if we might need a boost. But right now, given the data that the CDC and the FDA has, they don't feel that we need to tell people right now you need to be boosted," Fauci said.
Drugmaker Pfizer said Thursday it is seeing waning immunity from its coronavirus vaccine and says it is ramping up efforts to develop a booster dose and will soon publish data about a third dose of its vaccine that could protect people from variants.
The company also said it would seek FDA emergency use authorization for a booster dose in August.
Hours after Pfizer issued its statement, however, the FDA and CDC issued a rare joint statement saying fully vaccinated Americans "do not need a booster shot at this time."
The two agencies said they, along with the National Institutes of Health, "are engaged in a science-based, rigorous process to consider whether or when a booster might be necessary. This process takes into account laboratory data, clinical trial data, and cohort data — which can include data from specific pharmaceutical companies, but does not rely on those data exclusively."
On Sunday, Tapper asked Fauci if he was worried that if the CDC and FDA change their recommendations and later recommend booster shots that it could undercut trust in the two federal agencies or lead some critics to accuse the agencies of "flip-flopping."
Fauci replied that the CDC and FDA make their formal recommendations "based on data that's evidence that proves we need to go in this direction."
"Before you get that data, there will always be people, well-meaning people and well-meaning companies will say, 'You know, the way we look at the situation it looks like you might need a booster so let's go ahead and give a booster.' But that's not a formal recommendation," Fauci said.
Fauci added, "Data evolves. You get more information as the time goes by. So when you get to the point, where you have enough information to make a firm recommendation, that is not flip-flopping. That is making recommendations as the data evolve."

Q: Using Google Talk with a non-apps, non-gmail Google account I created a Google account with an existing e-mail address from a domain that is NOT hosted by Google.  This address is not on an Apps domain and has no gmail service of any kind.  Still I am able to add it as a Google account on an Android device with no problem.  If the device is running Jelly Bean (where the Google Talk app allows switching between accounts) I can sign in and chat works fine.  I can also sign into Talk with this account via the iGoogle home page (edit: iGoogle will be discontinued).
Now how can I use this account with a standalone chat client like iChat, Pidgin, or Empathy?  It doesn't seem to work with login ID user@example.com using SSL to connect to server talk.google.com (tried ports 5222 and 5223).  Are iGoogle and Android doing something magical that no other Jabber client is allowed, or am I just missing a step?

A: To use Google Talk with a third-party email address--despite the abilities of Android and iGoogle--it seems you really must add Gmail to your account.  If you visit gmail.com while logged in to your non-gmail Google account, you'll be presented with a form to sign up:

Welcome to Gmail
You're currently signed in to your user@example.edu Google Account.  If
you complete this form, you'll be adding Gmail to this account, and
your Gmail address will become your primary account username.

The "primary account username" part is what had been scaring me off, but it turns out:

*

*You can still sign in to various Google properties with your original user@example.edu address

*You can still hand out your real email as your Google Talk address.

*Your buddy list will remain intact, and people who you chatted with prior to adding gmail will still see you in their list.

CAUTION: Choose your "throwaway" carefully; it will forever become a part of your Google account (even if you remove it "permanently"), and it is likely to be seen by your Google Talk contacts even if they add you via your original/real address.  For this reason you should consider choosing something along the lines of user.domain@gmail.com as your new address
After completing the form and confirming the account, your Google Account settings will show your new Gmail as Primary, and list your original email address as secondary.  Now you can configure your previously un-cooperative chat client with your new @gmail login (if it doesn't work at first, you might need to sign in to Gmail proper at least once).
At this point, you can actually remove Gmail from your account
To do so, visit https://accounts.google.com/b/0/EditServices and select "Remove Gmail permanently".  Once you complete the process, your account will show your original email again as Primary, and list your gmail as an "Additional login".  Mail sent to this address will now bounce, but you can continue to use it as a Google Talk login.
Downside
Whether or not you remove Gmail after adding it, you'll still show up in buddy lists with your new @gmail address.  As cautioned above, "Remove Gmail permanently" isn't completely true!
While this may not be the perfect solution, it accomplishes the goal of being able to hand out your real email as your Google Talk address with grumpy client software even when your domain isn't on Apps.  In the end I opted to keep the gmail address on my account; I actually appreciate the side effect of having a searchable archive of my chats (a feature that can be disabled in Gmail settings).

A: As far as Pidgin for an account such as abc@xyz.com
Add Account,
In the Basic Tab,
Try - Protocol = XMPP
User name = abc
Domain = xyz.com
Next head over to Advanced Tab,
Connection Securuty - Require encryption
Allow Plaintext auth over unencrypted streams - Not Required to Check this..
Connect Port - 5222
Connect server - talk.google.com
It should work, and if you are using a differnt IM, the options above should be relatively the same to key in /configure
Try it out and let know if its working..

Veyo President Josh Komenda at a Jan. 12 hearing.
Members of a state panel on Wednesday were expecting an update from Veyo, the new medical transportation company that oversees rides for Medicaid recipients and has been the source of numerous complaints since it started working for the state at the beginning of the year.
But no one from Veyo showed up, and representatives from the state Department of Social Services, which hired Veyo, said they had excused the company from appearing.
The DSS representatives said they were there to discuss Veyo's checkered performance and to answer questions from the Coordination of Care/Quality and Access Committee, which includes members from the Behavioral Health Partnership Oversight and Medical Assistance Program Oversight (MAPOC) councils. DSS officials said they were working hard with Veyo to resolve the problems but provided no data on improvements.
Since San Diego-based Veyo took over operations on Jan. 1, many residents have had to wait hours on hold when calling for rides, have missed or been late for critical medical appointments like dialysis, chemotherapy and behavioral health treatment; or were stranded at medical facilities when return rides didn't arrive.
"I don't want any of us to have to go to any funerals because a cab didn't show up," said Kelly Phenix, co-chair of the committee, at the end of Wednesday's meeting.
After several panel members expressed anger over Veyo's absence, William Halsey, director of integrated care at DSS, said, since the department has oversight of the contract, he and another DSS employee were there to listen to the issues. Halsey also said that Veyo representatives, including its president, Josh Komenda, presented to MAPOC on Jan. 12.
Veyo was hired last year to arrange and oversee about four million rides annually to and from medical appointments and services. Veyo works with a myriad of private transportation companies, including taxis and ambulances, to provide the rides.
Before Veyo, the state's non-emergency medical transportation program was run for several years by LogistiCare — the subject of many complaints. Two representatives from LogistiCare were in the audience at Wednesday's meeting.
Komenda said that hold times, complaints, bad data and missed trips are on the decline. He said Veyo was preparing detailed data on its improvement efforts and progress and will share it with DSS.
Veyo was awarded a three-year contract, with the state paying the company $52 million in the first year, Komenda said.
At Wednesday's meeting, Sheldon Toubman, an attorney with New Haven Legal Assistance, was angered by Veyo's absence and DSS's decision to excuse them from the meeting.
"I can't understand honestly what possible reason would warrant your … excusing them from being here to answer questions about whether it's really true that their improving or whether they're just making it up," Toubman said.
Halsey said that DSS has "every intention" of providing that data.
Also at Wednesday's meeting, several stories were told about continued missed appointments, late pickups and out-of-pocket payments for transportation.
Bonnie Roswig, an attorney from the Center for Children's Advocacy, said one of her clients, a mother with a child with cancer, paid about $300 out of pocket to get her child to oncology and chemotherapy appointments.
Since Jan. 1, on three different occasions, the mother scheduled rides with Veyo but they never showed up — the latest instance being on Wednesday morning, she said.
After hearing Roswig's account and other stories, Halsey said DSS is taking the issues with Veyo seriously.
The bill approved by the House would safeguard people with pre-existing conditions who are on short-term health insurance policies. It now heads to the Senate.

There was a crowd around the TV in the lobby at the headquarters for the Florida Department of Corrections in Tallahassee, as I walked in. On the screen I could see a burning building, and ask what was going on. Someone told me a plane had crashed into one of the twin towers in New York City. Someone else said it was an airliner. Another said that they thought it was terrorists. Remembering the bombing in 93, I said that they sure don't like that building, and I sure hope it was an empty plane. Little did I know!
I was on a task force to develop a special tool cart, and procedures for the inmates to use on the prison compound to perform minor maintenance. Security had changed over the last dozen years regarding inmate tool usage, but the need for inmate labor remained and we needed some guidelines to operate with. We tried to get started, but the talk kept coming back to the World Trade Center. It wasn't long before someone walked in and said that a second plane had crashed into the second tower. We left to find a TV. Word came down that they were worried about the safety of Governor Bush, the president's brother, and we all may have to leave. Rumors were flying. Then the towers fell and our hearts sank to our stomachs.
How can anyone forget that day? Our country has had a few of those kinds of days and it is a shame, (Remember December 7, 1941?). I for one believe we are the greatest country in the world, and do not understand the hatred. There is nothing you can tell me that will change that. Sure we have made our mistakes. We have been involved in wars and places that maybe we shouldn't have. I have often questioned my two tours in Vietnam, but I have no doubt that I would do it all over again. Such is my loyalty to this great country.
So, I woke up this morning thinking how I'm lucky to be an American. In this world of instant info on the internet, people who truly seek freedom, know that by what they read, that we are truly blessed, and they long for the same opportunity. The ones that trash our country don't count. Rather than wanting the freedom to pursue the American Dream, they would rather just take ours away. I will not however, give them any more thought, but rather reflect on why I love this country, our Constitution, our flag, and our national anthem.

Q: Managing Two Similar Apps I have been programming an Android App for a while and we want to release two version of it that have minor changes from one another. I am worried about the maintenance of the app once we spilt it into two (I change something in one and don't update it in the other). What is the best way to go about this? I was thinking of creating two svn branches for each version of the app and having people commit changes to the trunk and then merge them into the branches? Is this the easiest and time effective solution?

A: The best way is to put most of your code in a library project. Then create as many projects as you need as thin veneers over the library. We do this, for instance, to build separate apps for Android Market and Amazon Appstore. (We use the licensing code for the former and not for the latter; the manifests need to be slightly different; for apps that link back into the market, we need different URLs for each marketplace; etc.)

A: Learn to use ant.
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-cmdline.html
As a basic example, you can generate a build.xml file from command line, inside project directory with
android update project -p ./

Then you can make a config directory and store some items in there such as the AndroidManifest.xml and a Config.java that you keep in your package. Replace certain items with tokens, for example, build-appone.properties might read
config.package_name=com.me.appone
config.some_var = "foobar"

and your files in config will have tokens replacing original text like, Config.java
...
public static final String FOO_BAR = "@CONFIG.SOME_VAR@";
...

Then you can edit your build.xml and add custom targets like so
<target name="-configapp">
    <copy file="config/Config.java" todir="${source.dir}/com/me/appone/"
          overwrite="true" encoding="utf-8">

          <filterset>
              <filter token="CONFIG.SOME_VAR" value="${config.some_var}"/>
          </filterset>
    </copy>
</target>

<target name="release-appone">
    <loadproperties srcFile="build-appone.properties"/>
    <antcall target="-configapp"/>
    <antcall target="release"/>
</target>

then you can build the target release-appone by either running
ant release-appone

or by right clicking build.xml, Run As -> 2. Ant Task ..., followed by selecting your target and hitting the run button.
More information can be found on ant in the interwebs.
AndroidManifest.xml
Worth mentioning that if you're going to move package name, version code, and version name into a build.properties file and copy it over to the root directory using filters from config/AndroidManifest.xml, you need to account for differing package names. So no relative paths to activities in manifest and you'll also need to customize the -pre-compile target to move the generated R.java to the correct directory (based on package name) and use the ant regex bit to fix package name in R.java, where -pre-compile is an already existing empty target set aside for your use by google
Updating R.java
To update R.java, you want to override the -pre-compile target, locate R.java, move the file, and use replaceregexp to edit the package name inside of the file appropriately. You can lookup documentation for each ant call to customize to your needs. Here's an example that may contain errors with some comments on relevant portions for further reading in ant documentation.
<target name="-pre-compile">
    <echo>Fixing R.java</echo>
    <!-- setup a prop for reuse that points to R.java containing dir -->
    <property name="config.gen_pkg" value="${gen.absolute.dir}/com/me/dir"/>

    <!-- this pulls a list of directories and assigns it to a refid via "id" -->
    <dirset id="config.R_loc" dir="${config.gen_pkg}" includes="*"/>

    <!-- this takes the refid and pushes it into a usable property -->
    <property name="prop.R_loc" refid="config.R_loc"/>

    <!-- now we move the file to where we want -->
    <move file="${config.gen_pkg}/${prop.R_loc}/R.java" todir="${config.gen_pkg}"
            overwrite="true" encoding="utf-8"/>

    <!-- use regex to update the package name -->
    <replaceregexp file="${config.gen_pkg}/R.java" match="^package com.*$"
            replace="package com.correct.package.name" byline="true"/>
</target>

You'll need to adapt this to your own circumstances of course.

A: Is there a way to add some sort of feature switch to your application?  Perhaps something that would live in the configuration of the app, or would be based on user authentication to turn on/off the correct set of features?
This way, you have one code base with both sets of features (assuming that there is common code between the two apps).
I have not done android or mobile development, but have used this technique successfully in Java web development where we had the same application with different features turned on depending on the users of the system.
I would avoid splitting it into two different code-bases.  It is just introducing a lot more overhead in maintenance for you.

Earlier this week, we announced the top 30 finalists in the race for the IV Sammic Scholarship for BasqueStage. This talented bunch now has to show us what they've really got.
The first stage of round two is for the candidates to craft a video.
This video will be between one and two minutes, and the candidate will have the chance to explain who (s)he is, why (s)he wants to participate in BasqueStage, and any other things considered interesting and relevant. These videos, will be uploaded to Vimeo (or Youtube), and then posted to the candidates' blogs. This video is not (necessarily) a cooking demo, as they have been in the past. Candidates have total creative control.
This is the first step in getting to know our top 30, whether it's at a market or in front of their computer. Candidates should designate it in the text of the post as 'BasqueStage Candidate Video' and send a link upon completion.
Follow along as they compete to show us who deserves to be in Basque Country, Spain, on their culinary chance of a lifetime, with all expenses paid.

With little under a month to go before the season gets under way, the injuries are already starting to stack up for Macclesfield.
The Blues' pre-season friendlies begin next Wednesday with an internal game, pitting the players from the first and second XVs against each other.
While coach Geoff Wappett is anticipating an enticing clash, with no quarter asked or given, he'll be hoping his men stay fit and ready to face Blaydon on September 1.
"We've got our first game next week but we are missing a lot of players who are away with work or their families," he said.
"It's extraordinarily frustrating but I'd rather they were away now than when the real business begins.
"The situation is that some very useful lads aren't going to be around for parts of what will be a long and tough season but we've increased the size of the squad so that we can cope better with absences."
Two players are almost certain to miss the start of Macclesfield's National League One campaign, while a third, Dean Williams is preparing in hope rather than expectation.
"Dean Williams has had an operation to clear out his knee," revealed Wappett. "He's still having a lot of trouble with it and there's a good chance that he won't be ready.
"Chris Jones is still coming back from that really nasty broken leg he suffered against Ealing Trailfinders last season and even though his recovery is progeressing he's unlikely to be ready to play until October atbest.
"The third worry is one of our props, Aaron Lockett. He's recovering from a shoulder operation in the summer."
While clubmates will be facing off at Priory Park next week the dricetor of rugby is expecting a 'rough and tumble' clash, adding: "I'd like our pre-season games to be very good practices.
"I'd like all our lads to knock each other about a bit and get our conditioning somewhere near to where we want it to be for the start of the season. We'll make sure we're ready."

The human attraction may not be as simple as saying you like someone because you're compatible or "because the stars align." Appeal and sex drive are a bit more complicated than we seem to think they are.
Pheromones are a crucial factor in the sexual responses of humans, and so, human attraction. However, various studies debate the role of pheromones in humans. Discussions on whether these compounds even function the same as that in animals are also common. But just how pivotal is the function of pheromones?
Why Are Pheromones so Important?
Pheromones are substances secreted by an individual that elicit a specific response from another individual of another species. The response does not necessarily be sexual. Many studies show pheromonal detection and reaction in various animal interactions and humans.
Apart from mate selection, pheromones have other functions. Some of these are modulating one's mood and influencing another individual's physiology. In this regard, as chemical signals, pheromones play a crucial role in various intra-species interactions.
Types of Pheromones Found in Humans?
Pheromones in humans are presumably present in secretions such as urine, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. It is even hypothesized to be present in human saliva. However, reports claim axillary sweat has more robust pheromonal compounds, especially in men.
Axillary sweat is a glandular secretion from the sweat and sebaceous glands. It is mainly composed of volatile organic acids. However, steroidal pheromones are more robust in men than in women, although present in both sexes. Examples of this type of pheromonal compound are androstadienone, androstenone, and androstenol.
The effects of these compounds are far more potent in women. The difference in skin microflora and volatility between the male and female human body is due to the potency of these compounds.
On the other, the most notable pheromone in human females is estratetraenol, found in the urine of pregnant women. The compound was also hypothesized to be present in women's axillary sweat.
The Difference Between Human and Animal Pheromones
All this discussion about pheromones, yet how do humans produce pheromones? Humans excrete different chemicals in bodily secretions as any other vertebrate would. The main difference in animal vs. human pheromones lies in their detection.
Unlike most mammals, humans lack an organ necessary for automatically detecting pheromones. Humans technically have this organ, the vomeronasal organ, in their anatomy. However, it's just another accessory organ like the appendix.
It is because of this very reason that humans aren't able to detect pheromones easily in the air. As a result, human pheromones are still undergoing more research. On the other hand, animal pheromones have shown various functions and evolution.
Pheromones and Sex Drive
The function of human pheromones in eliciting a sexual response may still be up for debate. Pheromone perfumes are not necessarily said to affect your date's sex drive. So, one can also infer that it wouldn't be possible to smell your date's pheromone.
11 Things You Should Know about Pheromones
Understanding the connection between pheromones and human sexual attraction entails pheromones and how they usually function.
Pheromones seem like such a complicated topic to dive into at first glance. Here are 11 things that might help you understand pheromones better.
1. Pheromones were first studied in insects
Pheromones were first encountered in a moth specie, the silkworm moth, Bombyx mori. Likewise, Bombykol, the sex pheromone detected in the said specie, was the first to be isolated and studied. Female silkworm moths used the said pheromone to attract males for mating.
2. There are four types of Pheromones.
Four pheromones differ in eliciting a response from the signal receiver - releasers, signalers, modulators, and primers.
Releasers result in an instant and specific behavioral response from the other individual upon secretion. Signalers provide more information about the individual that released them.
Modulators, on the other hand, affect another individual's mood or emotion upon release. Lastly, primers affect the endocrine or neuroendocrine systems over time, eliciting changes to another individual's reproductive physiology or development.
3. Pheromone interactions have evolved.
Certain animal species developed unique pheromone interactions for a specific type of pheromone through years of evolution and natural selection. For example, pheromone compounds function as signalers in two ways.
One way is for an individual to increase their sensitivity. This way, straightforward detection of a cue in the environment, such as in goldfishes where males can look for a sexually mature female, is done.
Another way is to exploit the preexisting sensitivities of the signal receiver. Such can be observed in European beewolf wasps. Males influence the females' sensitivity to the odor given off by honeybees, their prey.
4. Pheromones have other functions apart from improving mate selection.
There are different types of pheromones. So, it's only natural for these chemical signals to have various functions. For example, pheromones play an exceptionally essential part in mediating social insects.
Such insects belong to colonies like ants, bees, and wasps. In these colonies, pheromones help define an individual's role as a queen, solder, or worker.
5. Humans can't detect pheromones.
As mentioned in the earlier section, humans can't detect pheromones because of the lack of a vomeronasal organ. However, it still very much affects humans of opposite genders. That is because of the presence of skin microflora.
Aerobic diphtheroid bacteria act on pheromonal compounds in the apocrine glands. So, the initially odorless compounds eventually gain odor.
Apart from microbial fixation, the volatility of these compounds also plays a huge role. Higher volatility entails higher chances of diffusing into the air and detection.
6. Human pheromones aren't comparable to their animal counterpart.
Studies have hypothesized that some human pheromones are also present in some other mammals. However, human pheromones are not as potent as their animal counterpart. Others argue that they don't exist at all. Regardless, the absence of the vomeronasal organ in humans is mainly responsible for the potential nondetection of such compounds.
7. Pheromones are often linked to women.
In humans, pheromones are often linked to women due to the different phenomena attributed to them. Examples of this are the modulator and primer tendencies of pheromones in women.
The modulating effects of pheromones affect women's moods. Likewise, period synchronization in women living in close quarters has also been observed.
8. Pheromones as a fertility aid and mood enhancer.
Pheromone products are famous for their uses in improving one's sexual appeal. However, pheromones have various benefits in humans as well. Taking advantage of its reported modulator effects, humans use pheromones to reduce anxiety and improve overall mood.
In women, it is also reportedly used in improving fertility. It also has application in agriculture, wherein a process called pheromone disruption aids in pollinating different crops.
9. Pheromones can affect appetite and immunity.
A study has reported that pheromones can cause anorexia nervosa. A puberty delay induced by reception and auto reception of pheromone emissions reportedly causes the illness.
10. The effects of human pheromones are still undergoing extensive studies.
Although there are several studies on the presence and potency of human pheromones, views on this topic still clash. Such diverse perspectives on pheromones stem from a need for more evidence. While there are many studies on it, only some results can prove its validity.
11. The mechanism behind attraction is still unknown.
The mechanism that fuels the attraction induced by pheromones hasn't been 100% explained. However, insufficient findings on human pheromones, despite the many studies on them, are the main reason behind such clashed perspectives around it.
Thinking Like a Cat!
The human attraction may be more complex than one may think it is. However, one step to understanding more about it is pheromones. Pheromones are chemical signals in most animals and, arguably, humans.
Many studies on pheromones clash in their opinion of their actual function in humans. However, many agree that further research is needed to truly validate the role of human pheromones. Nonetheless, pheromones are an interesting topic to dive into.

Q: In R, when I store a variable in an index instead of using it directly, filter doesn't work For example :
filter(data, var=="A") #works

i <- "A"
filter(data, var==i) #empty table

Why ? Thank you.

A: A possible solution:
library(tidyverse)

df <- data.frame(a = 1:3, b = LETTERS[1:3])

i <- "B"

df %>%
  filter(b == !!i)
#>   a b
#> 1 2 B

A: It is possible that i would be a column in the dataset.  In that case, it is easier to replicate the behavior
library(dplyr)
df <- data.frame(a = 1:3, b = LETTERS[1:3], i = 5)
i <- "B"
df %>%
   filter(b == i)
[1] a b i
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

If that is the case, use .env to extract the object from the global env
df %>%
  filter(b == .env$i)
  a b i
1 2 B 5

Producing Legal History
The European Court of Human Rights' Lengthy Proceedings
Iustitia dilata est iustitia negata is a famous legal maxim meaning that "justice delayed is justice denied". It goes without saying that it represents a universal truth. When I was researching on the violations of freedom of expression in Turkey for an article, I realized that this truth was particularly relevant to the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter "the Court").
Let me give an example: The Court recently delivered a judgment finding a violation of Article 10 (freedom of expression) in the case Saygılı and Karataş v Turkey (appl. no. 6875/05, 16 January 2018) in which the journalist applicants had been convicted for disclosing the identities of public officials who are involved in the fight against terrorism, thereby rendering such persons targets for terrorist organizations. The judgment of the Court can be seen as an "ordinary" violation judgment at first glance. It may not come as a surprise that the Turkish government did not respect the freedom of expression and the Court drew a line against the government's authoritarian tendency. But the devil lies in the details. The date of the judgment was 16 January 2018, while the application date of the case was 28 March 2001. That is to say, the judgment was delivered 16 years 9 months 28 days after its application to the Court. If the becoming final process is also considered, the period lengthens to more than 17 years.
This period is nearly a whole career time for some people, especially for many journalists. Moreover, this judgment, which is an example of the "current jurisprudence" of the Court, is examined by law students at Turkish universities, most of whom had not yet came into the world when the victims had applied to the Court. None of the judges at the time of the application are now in office. Erdoğan was not in power then. In fact, his Justice and Development Party (AKP) had not even been founded at that time. The events and backgrounds of the judgment are from the previous century.
As is known, the European Convention on Human Rights was established and ratified by the states of Western Europe against the background of the ruins of World War II and the horrors of Nazism. Also, the Court was founded to protect and enhance the fundamental values of Europe such as human rights, democracy and the rule of law against the possibility of accession to power of a fascist party. Accordingly, the Court is expected to act as a guardian or watchman of human rights in Europe. Nevertheless, the Court looks like a sleeping night watchman sometimes when taking into consideration the above data. This is also against its function and raison d'être.
Let us assume for a moment that the Court existed in May 1933 with this performance. If a journalist who had his books burned in Berlin had applied to the Court in this regard, a judgment declaring a violation of freedom of expression would have been issued in 1950. World War II would have begun and ended, the Holocaust would have happened, the Bonn constitution would have been accepted, all before the Court delivered its judgment.
The national socialists were in power for exactly 12 years in Nazi Germany. However, there are many judgments against Turkey regarding violations of freedom of expression, which were rendered in more than this duration. For instance, judgments such as Döner and Others v. Turkey (5,347 days; appl. no. 29994/02, 7 March 2017), Müdür Duman v. Turkey (4,654 days; appl. no. 15450/03, 6 October 2015), Kula v. Turkey (4,439 days; appl. no. 20233/06, 19 June 2018) and Dicle v. Turkey (no.2) (4435 days; appl. no. 46733/99, 11 April 2006) were delivered more than twelve years after their applications.
You may think that these judgments are exceptional and do not reflect the overall performance of the Court. Nevertheless, the average duration of delivering judgments is also not reasonable. There have been 321 violation-judgments against Turkey in the context of freedom of expression between 1998 and 2018. According to my calculation, the average duration for finding a violation of freedom of expression in those judgments is 2,471 days, i.e. six years nine month and eleven days. This number is very high and problematic and the problem cannot be justified with the Court's workload, since the situation is almost similar with regard to very early judgments of the Court when the workload was lower than it is today. For instance, Incal v. Turkey (9 June 1998, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1998-IV), in which the Court found a violation of freedom of expression for the first time in 1998, had been rendered four years and nine months after its application. Therefore it can be said that the problem is not new but has been in place for a while.
In fact, below graph, prepared by myself, indicates the times taken to deliver judgments that involve a violation of freedom of expression against Turkey.
These numbers are very high, especially for a human rights court. If a court responsible for guiding human rights such as the right to trial within a reasonable time acts like this, then who guards the guardian?
Long story short, it is obvious that the structure and effectiveness of the Court is doubtful and it should be reviewed. Especially the speediness policy of the Court should be re-revised. Otherwise, it would appear that the case-law of the ECtHR would be a subject of the field of legal history.
Today, a lot of academics, journalists and human rights defenders are hard pressed in Turkey. Some courts in Turkey issued verdicts in several major politically motivated trials against them, based on evidence consisting of writings which do not advocate violence alongside unsupported allegations of connections with terrorist organizations. They want the Court to be a speedy remedy for their unjust victimhood and ask for a voice of justice from Strasbourg. And they are asking how much longer they have to wait and how the lost years of slow progress will be repaired. The Court must fulfil its function. Without further delay.

Fourth District Agreed with the Trial Court that Foreclosure Judgment in Favor of Junior Mortgage was Void
FLORIDA CASE LAW UPDATES
WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. V. TAN, 4D20-613 (Fla. 4th DCA May 5, 2021)
The Fourth District agreed with the trial court that the foreclosure judgment in favor of a junior mortgagee was void as to a senior mortgagee whose mortgage had been recorded before that of the junior mortgagee. In addition, the trial court erred in finding that the senior mortgagee's motion to vacate that foreclosure judgment was not timely filed, as a party may move to vacate a void judgment at any time. Nevertheless, the Fourth District affirmed the order denying the senior mortgagee's motion to vacate judgment because it also agreed with the trial court that section 702.036, Florida Statutes, barred the court from vacating the judgment where the vacation of judgment would adversely impact the quality and character of title to the property since that property had been purchased by bona fide third parties after the foreclosure sale.

Inadequacy of Price Standing Alone is Not a Basis to Set Aside a Judicial Sale
PALMER V. HMG VENTURE PARTNER, LLC, 5D20-956 (Fla. 5th DCA May 7, 2021)
In this Per Curiam affirmed case, Judge Cohen, in his special concurring opinion, explained the appellant, Palmer, argued the trial court abused its discretion by failing to grant him an evidentiary hearing on his timely objection to the bid amount under section 45.031(8), Florida Statutes. The judge, citing to precedent, noted that as a general proposition, mere inadequacy of price standing alone is not a basis to set aside a judicial sale. Because the only allegation in Palmer's affidavit was the mistake in failing to attend the foreclosure sale, it was wholly inadequate to necessitate an evidentiary hearing on his objection.

Fourth District Reversed Trial Court's Order Denying Homeowner's Motion for Attorney's Fees
WATERS V. WILMINGTON TRUST, N.A., 4D20-397, (Fla. 4th DCA May 26, 2021).
In a per curiam opinion, the Fourth District reversed the trial court's order denying the homeowner's motion for attorney's fees under section 57.105(7), Florida Statutes (providing reciprocal attorney's fees to the other party to a contract who prevails in a suit regarding that contract which provides fees for its enforcement). The Court explained the Lender confessed error (a way of consenting with the homeowner on appeal that the order denying fees should be reversed) based on the Florida Supreme Court's recent holding in Page v. Deutsche Bank Tr. Co. Ams., 308 So. 3d 953 (Fla. 2020). However, the Fourth District characterized the Page holding as one which stands for the proposition that a mortgagor who prevails in a foreclosure action based on the plaintiff's lack of standing at the time the lender filed the foreclosure action was entitled to prevailing party attorney's fees. Moreover, the Court described the Lender's confession of error as acknowledging the mortgage provided for "prevailing party attorney's fees," and that based on Page, the homeowner was entitled to fees for successfully defending the case in the trial court. Nevertheless, the standard residential mortgage form is bereft of any provisions that provide prevailing party attorney's fees. This decision adds to the confusing jurisprudence regarding a borrower's entitlement to attorney's fees under section 57.105(7) when that borrower prevails by either showing the plaintiff did not prove standing or successfully proving a lack of standing defense.

Trial Court Erred in Denying Plaintiff's Motion for Return
WILMINGTON SAV. FUND SOC'Y FSB V. MORRONI, 2D20-3085 (Fla. 2nd DCA May 28, 2021).
The Second District held that the trial court erred in denying the plaintiff's motion for the return of the loan documents in the court file following its unsuccessful foreclosure action based on the trial court's mistaken conclusion that the appellate court, in reversing judgment for the plaintiff, had found that the documents were not the originals. The appellate court only ruled that the plaintiff failed to carry its burden of proof that the note and the allonge it tendered were originals, not that the note and allonge were not actually originals. Moreover, there was no judgment cancelling the note. Absent such a judgment, the plaintiff was entitled to the return of its property. Document Link
Florida Statutes Cannot Apply to Authorize an Award of Attorney's Fees
CASTELLANOS V. REVERSE MORTG., 3D20-472 (Fla. 3d DCA May 12, 2021)
The Third District ruled that to the extent its decision in Suchman Corp. Park, Inc. v. Greenstein holds that, as matter of law, the reciprocity provision of section 57.105(7), Florida Statutes cannot apply to authorize an award of attorney's fees to a prevailing borrower on an underlying nonrecourse loan (because the borrower under such a loan would have no personal liability for those fees), such a holding has been implicitly overruled by the supreme court's recent decision in Page v. Deutsche Bank Tr. Co. Ams. The Court remanded the case for the trial court to enter an order finding the prevailing borrower was entitled to fees under section 57.105(7) and for further proceedings. Document Link
Court Must Hold Hearing if Timely Objection to Sale is Lodged
VALLS V. HSBC BANK USA, N.A., 4D20-1984 (Fla. 4th DCA May 12, 2021)
The Fourth District, on the Lender's confession of error to the Borrower's argument that he was entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his objection to sale, reaffirmed Florida law (§ 45.031(8), Fla. Stat.) that if a timely objection to sale is lodged, the court must hold a hearing on that objection prior to the issuance of a certificate of title to the successful bidder. Document Link
Second District Held Issuance of Certificate of Disbursements
REFAIE V. BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICING, 2D19-4780 (Fla. 2nd DCA May 14, 2021)
Pursuant to section 45.032(3), Florida Statutes, the Second District held the issuance of the certificate of disbursements triggers the running of the 60-day period for filing claims to surplus monies following a foreclosure sale. To conclude otherwise, the Court held, would produce inconsistent application of sections 45.031(7)(b) and 45.032(3). Here, the incorrect legal description and property address on the certificate of title did not invalidate the foreclosure or conveyance of the property because no error occurred prior to entry of the final judgment of foreclosure. All relevant documents preceding the certificate of title contained the correct property address and legal description and all parties were on notice of the foreclosure proceedings and sale of the property. The junior lienholder's initial motion for surplus proceeds, filed more than 60 days after the filing of the certificates of disbursements, was untimely. The trial court erred by granting the renewed motion for surplus because the initial motion was untimely. Document Link
Remote Notarizations


The beginning of the year is an opportune time for fitness professionals to market themselves to clients who are desperate for change. The following strategies will help a fitness professional, regardless of market or level of expertise, attract quality prospects and convert them into paying, loyal clients.
Prospects are looking for a way to feel better, whether that means weight loss (which is what approximately 60% of women and 50% men want), getting ready for a 5k, improving sport performance or having a healthy pregnancy. If a coach knows the problem, he/she can create a marketing plan and materials to target that specific group. Be sure you offer a very clear solution to the problem your ideal client wants solved.
A prospect who simply tells a coach he/she wants to lose weight is not offering enough information for the coach to communicate the value of the service and to provide an exceptional experience. The coach must ask "why" (and often ask it multiple times) to really find why the client desires change. Will they feel more confident if they lose weight? Is the weight loss so they can perform a particular task or activity more efficiently? Maybe it's due to a health scare. Knowing the real 'why' is crucial in creating content and programs to attract new clients. This will in turn help the coach maintain the client.
To attract new clients, the facility must have not only the necessary equipment to accommodate the type of client they are trying to attract, but they must have the right ambiance, play music that is appropriate and talk-the-talk of that particular client. For example, if a facility is trying to get more weight loss clients in their 30s and 40s, the facility should not be dirty, play vulgar music, have isolated equipment, or have pictures of extremely fit clients in swimsuits. Rather, the facility should be particularly clean, play music that is appropriate, have open space for dynamic movements, and post testimonials and/or before-and-after pictures of similar clients. This look is going to be much different than if the facility's focus is youth athletes or bodybuilders.
· Why do you want to lose weight?
· After we accomplish this goal, how do you think you'll feel?
· Have you tried to lose weight in the past?
· What has worked for you in the past? What did you like?
· What has not worked for you in the past? What did you not like about that diet and/or exercise?
· Cost: A way to overcome this is for the fitness professional to help the client think of ways they are currently spending their money. For example, unhealthy items they are buying or the amount of times they are eating out. Cutting out just one or possibly a couple of these items/dinners would free-up money for training.
· Location: Having an app or offering online coaching will help the coach overcome this barrier. Offering that the client come in even just once a week and writing a plan for him/her to do on their own is another way to overcome the obstacle of facility location.
· Time: An obstacle some prospects or clients may use is the amount of time they need to commit to the program. Offering 30-minute sessions and creating workouts the client can do on his/her own are ways to find a solution to this problem.
Attracting new clients and converting them comes down to the coach knowing his/her strengths, the type of client they are looking to train and creating marketing materials to attract these prospects. The coach needs to make sure their facility is set up for the client they are looking to attract, and listen to the client and the real 'why' of starting a program. In addition, the coach must listen and be prepared for objections and know how to overcome them without being pushy. At the end of the day, the coach must be willing to sell, and always under-promise and over-deliver.
