VERHOEFF v. THE STATE.
(362 SE2d 85)
MCMURRAY, Presiding Judge.
Drug violation. Clayton Superior Court. Before Judge Ison.
On May 8, 1986, defendant arrived at Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, aboard a flight which originated in Miami, Florida. Defendant was on his way to Holly, Colorado and it was necessary for him to change planes in Atlanta. Because defendant's flight originated in a known drug source city, deplaning passengers were monitored by agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA").
Defendant deplaned, carrying a small suitcase with a shoulder strap. He walked into the concourse, looking somewhat confused. An air line agent offered to help and defendant handed him his plane ticket. After examining the ticket, the air line agent directed defendant to another gate for his connecting flight. During this exchange, Special Agent Paul Markonni of the DEA spied defendant's ticket. He was able to observe that it was a one-way cash ticket bearing the name "Bryan Clark." He also was able to observe that no baggage claim stubs were attached to the ticket folder. Checking the reservation record, Markonni learned that defendant's reservation was made about one hour before his flight was scheduled to depart and that a telephone contact number was not given. Armed with this information, Markonni decided to interview defendant.
Accompanied by DEA Agent Laderer, Markonni intercepted defendant and identified himself as a police officer. Markonni and Laderer were dressed in casual clothing; their weapons were not displayed. Markonni asked defendant if he could speak with him for a few minutes and defendant said that he could. Markonni then asked to see defendant's plane ticket and defendant handed it to him. Holding the ticket, Markonni asked defendant his name. According to Markonni, defendant "appeared to hesitate and then actually looked over in the direction of the ticket, like he forgot what name was on it, and he said Clark. And, I said, what's your first name, Mr. Clark, and he said Bryan." At that point, Markonni gave the ticket back to defendant. Speaking in normal conversational tones, Markonni asked defendant if he had any identification. Defendant replied that he did not have any with him. Markonni inquired as to whether defendant had anything with his name on it a credit card or a receipt of some kind. Defendant said he did not and he asked what was going on. Markonni informed defendant that he and Laderer were narcotics agents and that they were looking for drugs and narcotics coming through the airport. Markonni asked defendant again whether he had anything at all" with his name on it. Defendant "kind of stuttered and then said, yes, and produced his wallet, and from his wallet he produced his Colorado driver's license which had his true name on it."
In the meantime, Markonni observed that defendant was extremely nervous during the interview. In Markonni's words, defendant "fell apart when we started talking to him." Defendant's breathing quickened dramatically and his hands shook.
Markonni returned defendant's driver's license to him. He then asked defendant if he would give his consent to be searched. Defendant declined. Convinced that defendant was not truthful about his identity in order to mislead him, Markonni arrested defendant for giving a false name to a law enforcement officer. See OCGA 16-10-25. Thereupon, Markonni conducted a search of defendant incident to the arrest. Cocaine was found in the suitcase which defendant was carrying.
Defendant was indicted for trafficking in cocaine and giving a false name to a law enforcement officer. He moved to suppress the evidence which was seized during the search. The motion was denied. Following a bench trial, defendant was convicted upon both counts of the indictment. On appeal, defendant enumerates error upon the denial of the motion to suppress evidence. Held:
1. When defendant gave Markonni his driver's license with his name on it, Markonni had probable cause to believe that defendant had given Markonni (who is a Clayton County deputy sheriff in addition to being a DEA agent) a false name in order to mislead him. Thus, Markonni was entitled to arrest defendant and to conduct a search incident to the arrest. United States v. Ehlebracht, 693 F2d 333, 338 [2] (5th Cir. 1982). It follows that the drugs found pursuant to the search were admissible in evidence.
"In determining whether a given contact between a police officer and a citizen violated a defendant's Fourth Amendment rights, the court must first determine whether the encounter was a 'seizure' within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. See United States v. Mendenhall, 446 U. S. 544, 553 (100 SC 1870, 1876, 64 LE2d 497) (1980) (Stewart, J.) (with Rehnquist, J., concurring). The Fourth Amendment's proscription against unreasonable searches and seizures governs all seizures of the person, 'including seizures that involve only a brief detention short of traditional arrest. Davis v. Mississippi, 394 U. S. 721 (89 SC 1394, 22 LE2d 676) (1969); Terry v. Ohio, 392 U. S. 1, 16-19 (88 SC 1868, 20 LE2d 889) (1968).' United States v. Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U. S. 873, 878 (95 SC 2574, 45 LE2d 607). 'The purpose of the Fourth Amendment is not to eliminate all contact between the police and the citizenry, but "to prevent arbitrary and oppressive interference by enforcement officials with the privacy and personal security of individuals." (Cit.)' United States v. Mendenhall, supra at 553-554. In distinguishing between an intrusion amounting to a 'seizure' of the person and an encounter that intrudes upon no constitutionally protected interest, we adopt that standard proposed by Justice Stewart in United States v. Mendenhall, supra at 554: '(A) person has been "seized" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment only if, in view of all the circumstances surrounding the incident, a reasonable person would have believed that he was not free to leave.' " Moran v. State, 170 Ga. App. 837, 839 (1) (318 SE2d 716).
Theoretically, there are at least three kinds of police-citizen encounters: verbal encounters involving no coercion or detention; brief "stops" or "seizures" which must be accompanied by a reasonable suspicion; and "arrests" which must be supported by probable cause. McAdoo v. State, 164 Ga. App. 23, 26 (295 SE2d 114), citing United States v. Berry, 670 F2d 583, 591 (5th Cir. 1982). "Factors determinative of whether or not an intrusion or 'seizure' has occurred 'include the lack of interference with the individual's progress, ascertaining whether the individual is willing to cooperate with police before making further inquiries, no display of official authority beyond a statement that the person stopping the individual is a law enforcement officer, and conducting the encounter in an appropriately deferential manner to avoid causing the individual . . . anxiety and fear . . .' McAdoo v. State, supra at 26, 27." Allen v. State, 172 Ga. App. 663, 665 (324 SE2d 521).
We think the facts demonstrate that defendant was not seized until he was arrested formally. Markonni and Laderer were dressed casually and their weapons were not displayed. When defendant was approached, the agents were identified as law enforcement officers and defendant was asked if he would speak with the agents for a few minutes. Markonni asked to see defendant's plane ticket. After examining the ticket Markonni gave it back to defendant. Then Markonni asked to see identification. When defendant said he did not have any with him, Markonni asked if he had anything with his name on it. Receiving a negative reply, Markonni asked again for identification and defendant produced it. Markonni did not demand to see identification; he simply repeated his requests for identification in a conversational tone of voice. Defendant responded to the requests by saying he did not have identification with him. At no time did defendant refuse to produce identification.
Given these facts, it appears that defendant had no objective reason to believe that he was not free to end the conversation with Markonni and proceed on his way. It follows that defendant was not seized during his conversation with Agent Markonni. Allen v. State, 172 Ga. App. 663, 664 (1), 665, supra.

British Columbia theaters can now serve booze
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Alcohol will now be on the menu at theaters in British Columbia after the provincial government reversed its long-standing ban on booze in cinemas.
Housing Minister Rich Coleman, who is responsible for liquor laws, said this week that multiplex theaters can now apply for a license to serve alcohol in theaters that play adult-rated movies and in adjacent lobbies.
He said the theaters must be closed to minors during screenings because it would be difficult to enforce the rules against underage drinking in a dark theater.
"These changes strike an appropriate balance between allowing liquor service at theaters and limiting minors' access to alcohol," Coleman said.
Vancouver's independent Rio Theatre had spearheaded the fight for the liquor control changes. The theater had been granted a liquor license in late January to serve booze at live events, but the venue's owner protested because she was told that her multi-media theater could no longer show movies. In February, she was then told she could show movies if she applied to de-license her venue three weeks in advance of screenings and she could only apply to be de-licensed three or four times a year.
"The whole thing is very confusing for most people to understand. No other venue had been treated that way," said Corinne Lea, the owner of the theater.
Now, she said, "we've got the popcorn and the candy — and we also have draft beer."
Lea said now she's looking at themed nights where moviegoers at screenings of The Big Lebowski could emulate main character "The Dude" and sip his signature White Russians.
The policy change would allow about 30 live-event theaters and 100 movie theaters to serve alcohol.
She called the government change of heart an arrival at "some common sense."
Vancouver's Vogue Theatre also presents many live events, as well as films.
"This change will allow us to better support events such as the Vancouver International Film Festival and other similar productions, which are important to the community," said Vogue operations manager Matthew Gibbons.
Motion Picture Theatre Association of British Columbia president Jeremy Bator said the change will lead to increased jobs, a better guest experience and a more level playing field in Canada's competitive entertainment landscape.
Allan Franey, who works with the Vancouver International Film Festival, said while the festival does serve alcohol at some locations, the film experience is "something very immersive.
"I don't think booze mixes well with certain kinds of films, certain age groups," he said.
The provinces of Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta permit alcohol in movie theaters, with age restrictions.

millik - love the guitar & banner & the logo is a great touch!
ritapizza - fabulous work on your tree! The pattern is so retro-modern & looks great in reg. floss too!
AlwaysInspired - That just rocks my socks!
Thanks everyone! I was very nervous when I drew it out that it wasn't good enough. After some agonizing over the stupid lips I decided I was happy with it. I think it is a fitting tribute to a fantastic movie!
AlwaysInspired ~ he looks so awesome! portraits are so hard to stitch! great quote too!
kittykill - totally cute fish!
Okay, here's what I added to jqadam's towel. He'd asked for ocean/nautical marine themes etc, and because I somehow don't think like other people, I went for.... coral.
It's not the prettiest thing, but all the French knots make it so much fun to touch. Textural embroidery is lots of fun - and feeling it kinda reminds me of the piece of coral I had for ages after I went to the Great Barrier Reef - it was all bumpy and scratchy to hold.
What a neat idea. I bet it is fun to touch.
Oh my goodness Kitten Wrangler... that looks incredibly time consuming!! and AMAZING!
You get really really quick at doing French knots after a bit. I ended up surprising myself by how many I could do in a lunchtime.
I think the french knots are perfect for coral texture!! Very pretty, too.
The coral looks great! I envy your french knot ability!
Greenlightgo asked me to post what sundayafternoonhousewife added to her nature themed towel. A pretty butterfly and flower. Now I'm off to begin adding to it!

Be Blue, Be Gold, Be Bold
UNK Collegiate Veterans Organization Sponsors Experts Panel On Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Thursday, Nov. 8
co-chair of The Big Event, 402.340.0394
In October of 2004, Amber McCrory was sent to Iraq to serve the nation in an increasingly debated war. McCrory, formerly of Amherst, served for 11 months in Iraq with the 313th Medical Company. While there, she saw things that many could never imagine.
When she arrived home in November of 2005, things were different for this veteran. Understandably, the experiences that she had while in Iraq had affected her; there was no way to forget everything that she had seen.
Now a student at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, McCrory has made great strides to re-acclimate herself with being home. Perhaps one of the greatest discoveries that McCrory made after coming home from Iraq was to learn of a condition that she had–post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
It was after learning about having PTSD that McCrory began attending counseling sessions. In these sessions, McCrory realized the reactions she was having were very normal and not her fault. Her doctor described them as normal reactions to an abnormal situation.
Now the president of UNK's Collegiate Veterans Organization, McCrory has made the decision that all veterans need to be aware of the repercussions being a soldier can entail. To help spread her message, McCrory and the Collegiate Veterans Organization are hosting a panel of experts to discuss PTSD.
"I know how essential it is for veterans to get the help they need," McCrory said.
The event will take place Thursday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m. in Copeland Hall, Room # 142. Speakers for the event include: Dr. John Fisher, a Vietnam veteran; Dr. Jerry Bockoven, professor and chair of the Department of Psychology at Nebraska Wesleyan; and Roy Schoen, a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. The event is free and open to the public, as well as to family, friends and teachers of veterans.

RPS has won planning permission for the Alaska wind farm: four 125m wind turbines at Masters Quarry in East Stoke, Dorset following a successful appeal, where we gave evidence on landscape, noise and planning and energy policy.
Following our appointment by Infinergy Limited to identify a suitable Dorset site, RPS was instructed to progress a four turbine scheme on land being used for sand and gravel extraction, after providing constraints mapping of the county, including wind speeds. RPS obtained a scoping opinion from the Council then progressed the final scheme design, liaising with consultees, undertaking an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and submitting the planning application.
A number of constraints exist including the extraction activities and ecology issues. RPS conducted detailed surveys for bats and birds including nightjar (using thermal imaging cameras) and honey buzzard, and advised on historic environment and visual impact - the site is 800m from an AONB; hydrology and hydrogeology.
RPS' Oxford office provided a planning support statement, design and access statement and submitted the planning application.
Despite initial resolution to approve the application, Purbeck District Council subsequently decided planning conditions could not mitigate visual and noise effects for local residents, users of a scout camping ground and nearby bridleway and refused permission.
RPS acted as expert witness at the lengthy public inquiry where we successfully countered all objections including those relating to amplitude modulation, sleep disorder and effects for autistic persons residing in a nearby care home. As part of the evidence, RPS produced a residential visual amenity assessment (RVAA) using LiDAR to carefully map the views of the turbines from residential properties which demonstrated the limited effects for local residents and was described during the Inquiry by the Inspector as the best he had read.
The appeal was allowed on 6 July 2012. In reaching his decision the Inspector concluded that "Having regard to all the matters raised, the environmental and economic benefits of granting planning permission for the development would significantly outweigh the limited degree of harm that would occur.
1 Including surveys for bats, badgers, reptiles and amphibians.
2 The Inquiry sat for nine days over a three-week period in April 2012, just after the National Planning Policy Framework was released. RPS gave evidence on landscape and visual impact, residential amenity, noise, planning and energy policy. The witnesses were faced with cross examination from Counsel representing the Council and Counsel representing an objector group that was given rule 6 party status.

Alden Of Iniquity
This week saw one of the strangest stories ever to hit Tradsville, something as could only befit the year of our lordless 2020.
Alden, maker of ultra-conservative footwear crafted in New England, has filed a lawsuit against its former VP and CFO for allegedly embezzling $27 million from the company, $15 million of which was funneled to a person by the name of Bianca de la Garza, founder of Lucky Gal Productions.
Lucky indeed.
Reports the Boston Globe:
According to the court filings, [Richard Haijar] bought a $1.1 million New York City co-op apartment for de la Garza using money stolen from the company and purchased other extravagant gifts, including a Mercedes-Benz, diamond jewelry, and designer handbags and clothing. The court has approved the company's seizure of Hajjar's assets held in seven banks and financial services companies, excluding his pension.
The court documents indicate that Alden, a New England footwear stalwart founded in 1884, hired Hajjar in 1987. According to the filings, Hajjar's father had been the CPA for the father of the company's current president, Arthur S. Tarlow Jr., and Hajjar's two brothers worked for the company. Trust ran deep between the two families.
Read all the financial shenanigans here. Perhaps it will end up as the plot for an episode on a TV legal drama.
You're probably wondering how it's possible that a humble little shoemaking firm from rural New England could have that much money to lose. Let's just say the alleged crimes go back to 2011, when Alden was selling an awful lot of Indy boots to workwear-clad hipsters.
Alden's president was contacted for this post, but said he is unable to comment on pending litigation. — CC

Doesn't surprise me. Alden sells a lot of bit loafers. Only porn magazine publishers, pimps, and strip club owners wear bit loafers.
Bill | June 20, 2020 at 4:57 pm |
It shows just how profitable Alden must be that their CFO could embezzle $27M over so many years w/o notice – or the lack of controls and proper oversight.
This is why highly successful privately held businesses have accounting firms on retainer that audit financial statements on at least an annual basis. But that costs money that Tarlow didn't want to spend. Trust but verify. Years of retained earnings have evaporated. Many years of future earnings will now be used to pay down the credit facility that was maxed out.
Here are a couple videos featuring Tarlow:

If anything happens to Alden, it will hurt far worse than Brooks Brothers or any other factory closings. Much of the recent bad news could be expected, to an extent. I hope Alden is in good shape and can remain one of the best in the world of men's fashion. Perhaps I should have bought out the lot of Alden for Brooks Brothers in my size when I had the chance…

Robert- Shoe Mart has an extensive Alden collection. Go there and stock up.
NCJack | June 20, 2020 at 9:58 pm |
I got a pair of LHSs for about $500 last sale, and sort of regret that I didn't get two.
@John Carlos
Shoe Mart is a great source, and they get a "Bootmaker" edition that's not generally available. There's also an off-and-on Alden seconds program, I think, that you can sign up for.
John | June 21, 2020 at 12:43 am |
He gave 15 MILLION$$$ to a charming hooker??? I'm trying to IMAGINE what a $15,000,000 hooker looks like. If he had settled for a $2,000 a night hooker (as ugly as $2,000/night hookers are), he wouldn't now be on his way to a jail cell for years.
Vern Trotter | June 21, 2020 at 2:02 am |
During a lifetime in the corporate world, I once, with a few others,
had to take a course that was supposed to help us recognize thieves among fellow employees outside of the routine audits. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it did not. The thief is nearly always one who is trusted 100%; ergo you need to think like a thief to catch a thief. Some can do that and some cannot.
Wriggles | June 21, 2020 at 6:42 am |
Another example of American business.
!. "Nothing's wrong unless you're caught." (?)
2. "It's OK to lie, as long as you know the truth…" (Billionaire Boys Club, Joe Hunt)
3. "It's not a lie if you believe it." (Costanza, Seinfeld)
Unfortunately, the above quips, given in jest, are the backbone of business.
Happy Fathers' Day, Dads.
To me, self-entitled employees often "smelled like" thieves. The thieves I saw caught always lived beyond their means. I understand that is how CIA and FBI first notice spies.

Someone mentioned earlier, "Trust but verify".
AtlantaPete | June 21, 2020 at 12:24 pm |
CC, you erred in using the bit loafer as the illustration. Per Ivy-Style August 2, 2016;
I'd just chatted with Alden president Robert Clark a couple of weeks ago at the big menswear trade show here in New York. He didn't mention this developing news story, but he confirmed it yesterday via email.
Apparently following a request from Gucci, Alden is discontinuing its bit loafer. "Gucci did ask us to stop using the bit ornament," said Clark, "and since the style was not important to us, we agreed to do so."
Christian | June 21, 2020 at 12:29 pm |
I used the bit loafer because it's the most iniquitous shoe in Tradsville.
Man in the White Pinpoint | June 21, 2020 at 12:52 pm |
The first comment (Mitchell's) sums up very nicely why I don't and won't wear bit loafers.
Kenny | June 21, 2020 at 2:36 pm |
How did Alden's auditors fail to spot the embezzlement over so many years? Alden should be able to claim the auditors' professional indemnity insurance. Additionally, the firm should have a fiduciary guarantee policy to protect it against such fraud by directors and their staff. Robert and others should not fear for the future Alden unless there is more bad news to come.
@Kenny
From the articles I read at "Tweedland" it appears that Hajjar was given carte blanche. He sure seemed able to transfer huge sums without question from any quarter; no mention of outside auditors
Kenny | June 22, 2020 at 7:22 am |
@NC jack Legally, a firm of Alden's size must have external auditors. It is incredible that Hajjar was a able to commit fraud on such a massive scale.
I know of another multi-million fraud involving several senior staff and suppliers who went to jail. The company successfully pursued a claim against its auditors, a big name accountancy firm. Its insurers also paid out so no financial loss was incurred.
Andrew K. | June 22, 2020 at 11:02 pm |
The shoe in the illustration is probably the kind worn by the embezzler.


Building on the success of the first phase of the Georgetown-to-Lewes Trail, phase two promised further expansion of local and regional travel options for non-motorized users while also helping to stimulate the economy of both municipalities. Under our DelDOT Transportation Alternative Program Agreement, Century provided planning and final design services to extend the trail from Savannah Road to Minos Conaway Road in Lewes, Delaware.
The 10-foot-wide hot mix trail provides an off-alignment route from Georgetown to Lewes, and gives pedestrians and bicyclists even more opportunities to travel safely and conveniently between local communities. In fact, it was the first bike-friendly grade-separated crossing of Route 1. The low-stress trail is ADA-compliant, with redesigned intersections to accommodate pedestrian movements, Intelligent Traffic Management Systems, and even improved stormwater management.
The original scope of the project called for the trail to be designed adjacent to the railroad tracks, but a new scope removed the existing railroad tracks under a separate contract prior to the start of trail construction, re-aligning the proposed trail to make use of the former railbed. By making this change, the project avoided unnecessary environmental impacts, eliminated the need for easements, minimized clearing, and reduced project cost.
Century facilitated the re-design and coordinated all changes with the regional agencies and DelDOT's internal sections, all while remaining on track with an expedited design timeline. In addition to design services addressing environmental, utility, and roadway concerns, we coordinated with local businesses and residential neighborhoods throughout the design to build goodwill and ensure open communication with the public and local stakeholders.


Through Bloomberg Philanthropies' support of the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign, we're helping to end America's reliance on dirty coal and shift the U.S. Power sector to a cleaner future. To learn more about this vital initiative, watch our campaign video and explore the map below.
Bloomberg Philanthropies has invested $80 million with the Sierra Club to secure the retirement of half of the nation's coal fleet by the end of 2017. The Sierra Club is currently on schedule to meet this goal and continues to make progress despite politics in Washington. The initiative is one of the most effective campaigns to cut carbon emissions in history. It will help the United States speed up the growing shift seen among communities, ratepayers, investors, utilities, and state and local governments to move away from expensive, outdated power plants and towards clean energy solutions.
Through a $50 million investment, Bloomberg Philanthropies begins funding the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign with a goal to shut down one third of the nation's oldest and dirtiest plants.

Mankind after the pandemic
By virtue of its consequences, the ongoing pandemic that has gripped the world from one pole to the other is the equivalent of a worldwide conflagration. Panic, the loss of human life, stagnating economic development, the unravelling of many societal structures and of interpersonal relationships, the forbiddance of cultural manifestations and the limitations placed on…

Yep, I'm back in Vegas. Flew down last night to be ready to play cards at 9 am with Mike Rippey–we're here for 3 days of intensive card play to get him the silver points he needs to make life master.
The qiuqiu online tournament is at the Flamingo Hotel–the one that Paul Soloway's family used to own 5% of, before the mob made them an offer they couldn't refuse. It turns out that Bugsy Siegel was Paul's cousin.
People are complaining incessantly about this hotel, which is somewhat justified (the carpeting in the halls is loose and wrinkled and some of the worst I have ever seen), but after last week at the Las Vegas Hotel, this place is a paradise.
Our plan was to play in the KO's and try to get into the second bracket. It almost worked–we were the last team in the first bracket, and that isn't good. The top team (of 6, these are only 3 session KO's) had 80,000 masterpoints. We had 8200. I don't like those odds, and just what you would predict happened.
Tonight we played in another side game, had 55% and must have scratched, but we didn't stay to see the final results.
Dinner was at a Mexican place just across a small mall from the hotel, but the wind was just howling and it was a struggle to get there. I had the most incredible slab of sesame crusted seared Ahi you could imagine.
Playing 3 sessions a day doesn't leave much time for sightseeing, and the chill winds make walking up and down the strip inhospitable anyway. I guess I'll turn in and try to play as well tomorrow.
Sounds like you're having fun! G'luck!

Australian states and territories to battle for space agency boasting rights
A six-month turf war over the Australian Space Agency has begun between the country's state and territory governments.
By Asha Barbaschow | June 15, 2018 -- 02:16 GMT (19:16 PDT) | Topic: Innovation
The federal government announced during the 2018-19 Budget that it would be committing AU$41 million to the creation of the Australian Space Agency.
After officially launching the initiative with an initial AU$15 million in funding to "kick-start" its investment last month, the government announced the agency would be led by former head of the CSIRO Dr Megan Clark for its establishment and first year of operation.
Although the Australian Space Agency will begin operation from July 1, 2018, it is yet to have a place to call home.
The boasting rights to the agency will be determined during a six-month bidding war between states and territories, with a decision expected by the end of the year.
Western Australia has the element of physical space on its side, and in a report commissioned by the state government, it was said WA's geographic advantages have been reinforced by investments in communications and computational infrastructure, and access to technical expertise.
"Western Australia's southern hemisphere location and latitude were ideal for space situational awareness and networks that required global coverage of space assets. They create significant opportunities for space situational awareness, optical communications, astronomy, space operations, and defence space applications," the state explained.
WA also has the $1 billion Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which is slated the largest and most capable radio telescope ever constructed.
Touted as the world's largest science project, involving 20 countries and covering over 1 million square metres of data collection area, the SKA has its central cores of operation in South Africa and Western Australia, with its central computer alone boasting the processing power of about 100 million PCs.
While the SKA is nothing to be scoffed at, South Australia has an astronaut on its side.
Dr Andy Thomas this week endorsed South Australia's space credentials, declaring it the most appropriate state to host the space agency.
Thomas, who worked for NASA after gaining his PhD in mechanical engineering in 1978 from the University of Adelaide, said the state is well-positioned to support a burgeoning Australian space industry.
"South Australia's got the heritage, the technical resources, the educational background, the technical infrastructure, the corporate infrastructure the industrial base," he told reporters on Thursday. "I think we've got a very good chance."
SA Premier Steven Marshall said the state would be putting in a "compelling and competitive" bid to host the agency.
"This state has enormous capability already in terms of space sector, but also enormous potential going forward," he said. "We are the logical place to bring the national space agency."
Also with an astronaut at tow, New South Wales wants the agency and it is using its reputation down under as the state that gets everything first to its advantage.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said Dr Paul Scully-Power, who was selected by NASA in the early 80s to be a payload specialist on the 13th Space Shuttle for eight days and 133 Earth orbits, will be helping the state showcase why it's the ideal home.
"There's no question that NSW is best placed to host [the agency], and there's no-one better suited than our nation's first astronaut to lead our bid," Berejiklian said last month when announcing the state's bid.
Victoria also wants to host the agency, and while it doesn't have the world's largest telescope or an astronaut to help its argument, it is currently home to some of the world's biggest names in aerospace -- Lockheed Martin, Thales, Boeing, and BAE Systems.
The state's campaign to make Victoria the home of the Australian Space Agency is focused on being well-positioned both commercially and geographically to be the "physical centre and a focal point for coordinating national and international collaboration on space and attracting global investment".
The Northern Territory has also displayed interest in hosting the agency.
According to the federal government, the global space economy is worth around $345 billion, and growing at nearly 10 percent each year; the Commonwealth believes Australia has a "fantastic opportunity" to triple the size of its domestic space industry to up to AU$12 billion by 2030.

On February 23-25, 2019 the J. Addison School Girls' Basketball Team competed at InsiderExposure.com's invitation only "Independent School National Championship" in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.
Their first game of the tournament was against IMG Acadamy, one of the Top Athletic Prep schools in the world. Our girls came out on top securing an 82-72 win over IMG with Madalyn and Hennessey playing their minds out scoring 27 points and 25 points respectively!
For the second game, our girls played against Westridge of North Carolina who are currently ranked 7th in the United States. Our girls kept the game close and were up 4 points with 2 minutes remaining in the final quarter. Unfortunately we were unable to maintain the lead and ended up losing the game by 4.
By the third game our girls were hungry for another win after a painful loss. They played excellently against Lincoln Prep from Hamilton, Ontario and earned a decisive 62-55 win, holding onto the lead for the majority of the game!
The fourth and final game our girls played was against Crestwood Prep who are currently ranked the best team in Canada. The girls played well but unfortunately lost 52-44.
Overall the tournament was a great experience for the team. It showed that we can compete at an elite level against the best teams in the continent and that we are always a threat at every tournament! Thank you to InsiderExposure.com for inviting us!
This weekend, we will be hosting our Open House for anyone interested in taking a tour and learning about our school! If you have any friends or family interested in finding a private school, this is the perfect time for them to learn about the "Addison Advantage™"!

CVE-2021-37647

### Impact
When a user does not supply arguments that determine a valid sparse tensor,
`tf.raw_ops.SparseTensorSliceDataset` implementation can be made to dereference
a null pointer:

```python
import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.SparseTensorSliceDataset(
  indices=[[],[],[]],
  values=[1,2,3],
  dense_shape=[3,3])
```

The
[implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/core/kernels/data/sparse_tensor_slice_dataset_op.cc#L240-L251)
has some argument validation but fails to consider the case when either
`indices` or `values` are provided for an empty sparse tensor when the other is
not.

If `indices` is empty (as in the example above), then [code that performs
validation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/core/kernels/data/sparse_tensor_slice_dataset_op.cc#L260-L261)
(i.e., checking that the indices are monotonically increasing) results in a null
pointer dereference:

```cc
    for (int64_t i = 0; i < indices->dim_size(0); ++i) {
      int64_t next_batch_index = indices->matrix<int64>()(i, 0);
      ...
    }
```

If `indices` as provided by the user is empty, then `indices` in the C++ code
above is backed by an empty `std::vector`, hence calling `indices->dim_size(0)`
results in null pointer dereferencing (same as calling `std::vector::at()` on an
empty vector).

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit
[02cc160e29d20631de3859c6653184e3f876b9d7](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/02cc160e29d20631de3859c6653184e3f876b9d7).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this
commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are
also affected and still in supported range.

SCF Nursing Students Receive More Than $20,000 in Scholarships
May 7, 2018 by Press Release
FloridaFrom left: Roseanne Fairchild, dean of nursing and health professions; Dr. Carol F. Probstfeld, SCF president; Jennifer Griffon, scholarship winner; Jerry Lane, scholarship grantor; Cassandra Holmes, SCF Foundation executive director; and Robert Wyatt, chairman of SCF's Board of Trustees.
State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF) nursing graduates were awarded more than $20,000 in scholarships to continue their studies to achieve their Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) during SCF's nurses pinning ceremony Friday, May 4, at SCF's Neel Performing Arts Center.
More than five dozen graduating nurses received their nursing pins during the ceremony. Along with fellow nurses on stage and in the audience, the graduates recited the International Pledge for Nurses. The pinning ceremony included a welcome from Dr. Roseanne Fairchild, SCF's dean of nursing and health professions. Four of the region's hospitals each awarded $5,000 to the top nursing graduates. Blake Medical Center, Manatee Memorial Hospital, Sarasota Memorial Health Care System and Hospital Volunteers of Venice on behalf of Venice Regional Bayfront Health all set up scholarships through the State College of Florida Foundation (SCFF) to encourage nurses to continue their studies and to continue working in the region.
Two memorial scholarships also were awarded. Jerry Lane awarded the Dustin Lane Memorial Scholarship, to Jennifer Griffon, president of the Student Nurses Association, who will continue her studies to pursue her BSN. She plans to eventually earn her Master of Science in nursing and work with struggling adolescents.
In presenting the $1,000 scholarship, Lane told the students, about his son Dustin and why he decided to set it up.
"Like all of you on stage, Dustin sat up here last year eager to embark on a new and exciting career. Later, at dinner, he announced it was the proudest day of his life, and we, his family, were equally proud," Lane told the students. "In July he passed his boards and subsequently took a position in the Progressive Care Unit at Blake hospital. Soon thereafter he told me it was the best job he ever had, and I could tell he meant it. But it was only the beginning for Dustin. By mid-August he was already at work on his bachelor's degree here at SCF. His ultimate goal: to become a nurse anesthetist. Sadly, on Labor Day weekend Dustin passed away unexpectedly. We were devastated, but we knew he would want his time in nursing to count for something, so we set up a yearly scholarship to be awarded every spring. I know he would be incredibly honored."
Yvonne Cavazos won the Pat Kuebler Award, a scholarship in memory of Kuebler, who worked as an assistant administrator in charge of nursing for Sarasota Memorial Hospital before she came to teach at Manatee Junior College, now SCF. While teaching for four years she had a profound effect on her students. She died in 1981 from cancer. In 1985, the nursing department of Manatee Memorial Hospital, made up of many of her former students, established the scholarship in her name for students who exemplify her character, compassion and dedication to nursing. Cassandra Holmes, executive director of the State College of Florida Foundation, presented the award to Cavazos.
Cavazos is described as academically dedicated and intellectually gifted. "She is also a genuinely kind, gentle, generous, and humble individual, which is something that her patients and colleagues just seem to sense about her as soon as she enters a room and introduces herself," said her clinical instructor, Kiara Fitzgerald. "She has a quality, a shine, that eludes precise definition, but instantly elicits comfort, ease, and an intuitive trust from those around her."
Presenting the Excellence in Nursing Scholarship awards from the four hospitals are Bob Bartholomew, president, Hospital Volunteers of Venice (presented in Venice); Vernon DeSear, Vice President, Manatee Healthcare System; Adam Fletcher, Chief Nursing Officer, Blake Medical Center; and Dr. Jean Marie Lucas, Associate Chief Nursing Officer, Sarasota Memorial Health Care System. Lucas also served as the speaker for the ceremony.
The four winners are:
• Tessa Hysell, Manatee Memorial Hospital, said she has always wanted to be a nurse. She graduated with her ASN with a 3.53 grade point average. She plans to work at a local hospital while studying for her BSN and volunteer in a clinic that works with low-income individuals.
• Alexandra Jacob, Blake Medical Center, graduates with her ASN with a 3.8 grade point average. She said she has always wanted to be a nurse and SCF has helped her realize her goals. She is thrilled to be able to continue at SCF to obtain her BSN.
• Alina Kulakevich, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, is proud of her parents, who were immigrants and worked hard to make sure she received an education. She graduated with a 3.35 grade point average. She is eager to represent SCF and Sarasota Memorial Hospital as a proud BSN graduate.
• Alexandria Scappatura, Hospital Volunteers of Venice, plans to become a Certified Nurse Anesthetist. She graduated with a 3.86 grade point average. She cares for her mother and works full time at Coastal Behavioral Healthcare while going to school at SCF.

This includes: surgery to remove cancerous tumours; cosmetic surgery to the ears and nose in partnership with our Plastic Surgery colleagues; tonsillectomy; grommet insertion; adenoidectomy; and surgery to remove blockages to the nose and ears.
We have a compact unit consisting of a head and neck ward for adults, based next to two ENT theatres and a paediatric department one floor below, which allows us to work very efficiently and improves communication. We work closely with the regional departments of Plastics, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Maxillofacial Surgery, Respiratory Medicine, and Sleep Medicine at MFT, to complement the services we deliver to patients.
Both outpatient and day case ENT services are provided at MFT's Withington and Macclesfield Hospitals with the inpatients being concentrated at MFT's Wythenshawe Hospital. We are a unit of five consultants.
Surgery is carried out in the F-block theatre 12 which is a two-suite operating theatre at the end of Ward F9, the ENT ward. This makes transferring patients between the ward and theatre extremely convenient.
Patients are referred to the service through their GPs, hospital consultants, or through the 24/hour emergency on-call service through the 999 service or A&E departments.
ENT Secretary: 0161 291 4032
The ENT service is based in the F Block in the Green Zone, next to the Children's Department, accessible through Entrances 10, 11, or 12, on Floats Road.


About half of People's Party lawmakers established a preparation committee to create a new party and held a meeting of promoters on Sunday, speeding up the breakup of the center-left opposition party.
Sixteen parliamentarians, including veteran lawmakers Reps. Park Jie-won and Chung Dong-young and some 1,000 supporters gathered at the National Assembly held a ceremony and proposed the creation of a new party, the Party for Democracy and Peace.
"We decided to leave because we could not agree with the party's drive to merge with the old conservative faction that denies democracy and peace," Rep. Cho Bae-sook, who was elected to lead the preparatory committee, said at the meeting.
"We wish to walk a new path and will create a party that promotes a multi-party system and reforms for a democratic and peaceful society," Cho said.
The lawmakers who are member of a faction closely associated with the late former President Kim Dae-jung vowed to promote a bolder engagement with North Korea and expand welfare policies for ordinary citizens.
According to the group, a total of 2,485 people listed their names as promoters of the new party. They will inaugurate the new party on Feb. 6.
Only an hour after the ceremony, People's Party Chairman Ahn Cheol-soo and supporting lawmakers held a party meeting and agreed to suspend the membership of 179 party members, including the 16 lawmakers and Rep. Lee Sang-don who has delayed joining the faction opposed to the merger in order to maintain his position as the speaker of the upcoming party convention.
Previously, Ahn and center-right Bareun Party Chairman Yoo Seong-min had announced a joint statement to promote political reforms, practically declaring the two parties' merger. The People's Party plans to hold a national convention on Feb. 4 to approve the union.
The People's Party currently holds 39 seats, while Bareun Party has nine in the 299-member National Assembly.

A COACHING triumvirate will guide Taree's fortunes in this year's Coastal Premier League football competition. Ben Sedlen, who was in charge of the team last season, will be joined on the coaching panel by Michael Wallace and James Goldsmith. Goldsmith is an experienced coach and had worked previously with Taree's junior teams. He has also coached futsal at international level. Goldsmith will undertake his professional C license course. Wallace is the Wildcats coaching coordinator. He has his professional C license and is looking forward to helping guide the Wildcats' young squad. "When I coached before I always sought advice from other people in the club,'' Sedlen said. "So this will be no different. The coaching job is too big for one person now.'' He assured all three coaches will be on equal terms. "If we have to we'll have a vote on something we don't all agree on,'' he said. "It'll be fine.'' The Wildcats will start training on Tuesday January 19 at Omaru Park from 6.30. Taree will be one of 10 clubs in the Coastal Premier League (CPL), a competition taking in teams from Football Mid North Coast and North Coast Football. The Wildcats made an 11th hour decision last year to join the competition, filling the vacant 10th spot. The season was cut to one round when stricter COVID-19 protocols were introduced in August. The start of the competition was delayed until July because of the pandemic lockdown. Taree struggled, winning just one game and drawing another. However, Sedlen said there were promising signs, with a number of young players adapting to the rigours of senior football. He said they'll be better for that experience. "We'll have a few more young players coming into the club this year,'' Sedlen said. "But it would be good to get some more experienced players as well.'' He expects the new season to start in April. All ten sides are set to back up from last season. For any inquiries about the Wildcats go to tareewildcats@gmail.com.

Business Law Case Study In the case presented, Biff Smith, the Chief of Police of the local department ordered a set of bicycles off of a local storeowner, Dirk Right. This was no simple order though, in fact Biff intended on starting a bike patrol unit within the local department. Biff went to Dirks Bicycle shop to place an order. The order was for five mountain bikes to be used for patrol so they had to be custom made in order to sport the police decals. Biff was very familiar with the Schwinn bicycle company so he asked Dirk to order him five "top of the line" bikes at the "best price". This simple statement implied that Biff not only wanted the bikes but he intended on paying for them as well. So soon after Dirk accepted the deal…show more content…
Therefore Dirks specially ordered custom bikes for the police department upon the request from Biff are considered specially made. The custom bikes were a special order because they contained unique decals displaying "POLICE". Therefore Dirk can enforce the oral contract against Biff despite the price being an excess of $500, (under Revised article 2). Analyzing the case with all elements in mind, we concluded that a contract was in fact created. Dirk, who is pursuing Biff in court, will put up a case due to the oral contract that was indeed made. In this case there is no need for a written contract because Biff verbally agreed to buy five Schwinn custom police mountain bikes specially ordered by Dirk. For this non-resellable goods exception to apply, the seller, Dirk, must have made a substantial beginning in manufacturing the goods. To show this is true, Dirk went out of his way to create an order for Biff that was special for the Police department, and by doing so, Dirk cannot return/resell the bikes, and he is at a loss of $17,500. The most important factor working in Dirks favor is the letter he received from the local PBA. The end of the letter had a hand written signature thanking Dirk for ordering the bikes. This is hard evidence that a deal was made because the note brings up the agreement for the bikes in writing and is signed by the second party, Biff. Dirk has enough evidence to bring Biff to

Case Study Case 1 A Sydney tramway passenger was injured in a collision with another tram, which occurred after the driver collapsed at the controls. The plaintiff argued that the collision could have been avoided if the tramway authority had fitted the tram with a system known as 'dead man's handle', a system in use on Sydney's trains. This would have stopped the tram and avoided the accident. The device had been rejected by the tramway authorities because it was felt that it could cause drivers

There have been many studies on the positive effects of massage therapy in different age groups. Amongst the most notable research findings are improved growth (e.g. in premature infants), diminished pain (e.g. fibromyalgia), decreased autoimmune problems (e.g., increased pulmonary function in asthma and decreased glucose levels in diabetes), enhanced immune function (e.g., increased natural killer cells in HIV and cancer), and enhanced alertness and performance. Many of these effects appear to be brought about by decreased stress hormones.
In asthma, a study showed the positive effects of parents massaging their asthmatic children including increased peak air flow, improved lung functions, less anxiety and reduced stress hormone (cortisol) in the children as well as a decrease in the anxiety of the parents carrying out the massage.
Children with Dermatitis who were massaged saw their anxiety and activity levels improved as did all measures of skin condition including less redness, lichenification, excoriation, and pruritis. In addition, the parents' anxiety levels also decreased.
Infants with Down syndrome improved in muscle tone and in performance on motor tasks following massage therapy. Fathers who, for one month, gave their infants daily massages 15 minutes before putting their children to bed, showed better interaction behavior with their infants. The Use of massage oils on Infants showed fewer stress behaviours (e.g. grimacing and clenched fists) and lower cortisol levels (stress hormones) after massage than when massaging without oil.

A look back at Tiger Woods' five Hero victories
By Staff , PGATOUR.COM Follow @PGATOUR
Tiger Woods' final two birdies to win 2011 Hero World Challenge
Before his son Charlie became his co-star in Decembers, the Hero World Challenge offered the golf world one last glimpse of Tiger Woods before hitting pause for the holidays.
Woods started the tournament around the turn of the century to benefit his foundation. In more than two decades of existence, the small, but star-studded, gathering has offered many memorable moments. Woods has been the host with the most five times, winning the Hero to cap off some of the best years of his career. More recently, the tournament has offered us a rare glimpse of Woods while he has been sidelined by injuries, becoming a de facto "State of Tiger" gathering as he's conducted candid press conferences about his health, launched comeback attempts or even just hit balls before curious observers, as he did last year.
He is back in this year's field, his first Hero start since 2019, when he was the reigning Masters champion and preparing for a successful stint as the U.S. Presidents Cup Team's playing captain.
Woods is coming off a year that saw him make an unexpected return to competitive golf at the Masters but also saw him play just three times as his surgically-repaired right leg struggled with the rigors of tournament golf.
To get you ready for Woods' return to the Hero – and his first competitive appearance since July – here's a look at his five victories in the Hero World Challenge.
Venue: Sherwood Country Club, Thousand Oaks, Calif.
Final round: 64, 273 (-15)
Margin of victory: Three shots over Vijay Singh (71)
Tiger Woods used a trademark comeback to win his Hero World Challenge for the first time. He was four down to Vijay Singh when he sprayed his tee shot on Sherwood Country Club's ninth hole over a creek and onto the thick brush on the side of a hill. He took a penalty drop, hit his next shot under the bleachers behind the green and then watched his chip off a hardpan lie roll 45 feet past the cup. Woods holed the lengthy bogey putt, however. Singh failed to capitalize on Woods' miscues, making a bogey of his own to stay just four ahead.
"It was a huge momentum swing," said Woods, who shot 30, including five birdies in a row, to beat Singh by seven over the final nine holes.
It completed an eventful year that saw Woods complete the Tiger Slam and win his first PLAYERS Championship. He'd go on to win five more times in 2002, including the Masters and U.S. Open.
Woods' final-round 64 at Sherwood tied the course record. He donated his $1 million winner's check to the Tiger Woods Foundation.
"With a field like this, it feels great to win," Woods said. "Winning this tournament gives me the same feeling as winning any tournament."

Margin of victory: Two shots over Padraig Harrington (66)
Woods was a ball-striking machine, missing just two fairways and two greens, as he collected his second Hero World Challenge victory. His final-round 66 was good enough for a two-shot win over Padraig Harrington, which would have been more had Woods putted well.
This one was especially gratifying as Woods was still solidifying swing changes and had just come off an odd year of close calls: 10 top-10 finishes without a victory after his lone win that year, at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
"Probably '98 was more difficult," Woods said of his 2004 swing overhaul, "but certainly this one I got a lot more badgering from you guys. I got a lot more questions, 'What are you doing?' Because I had a great run for like five years, back in '97. Yeah, I was dismantling my golf swing and … people thought I was crazy there."
Also gratifying: His father, Earl Woods, whose health problems had limited his activity, was on site to see him win.

Margin of victory: Four shots over Geoff Ogilvy (71)
It was a bittersweet year for Woods, whose father, Earl, passed away in the spring.
Tiger missed the cut in his first event back, the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, but won The Open Championship a month later, crying on caddie Steve Williams' shoulder. It was the first of six wins in six starts for Woods, including two majors (The Open, PGA Championship) and two WGCs (Bridgestone Invitational, American Express Championship).
By the time he got to Sherwood, he hadn't lost in five months. He started the final round one behind Geoff Ogilvy, the winner earlier in the year at Winged Foot, but erased that deficit with two early birdies, including a chip-in at the third hole, and an Ogilvy bogey at the second. It was all Woods the rest of the way.
Although he had been distracted by Earl's poor health for the first part of the season, he'd still managed early wins at Torrey Pines and Doral, and racked up six more after his father's passing. The gaudy totals: 15 official PGA TOUR starts, eight wins, one second, one third, 11 top-10s.
And another victory in what would become the Hero World Challenge.
"It's been a year of two halves, really," he said.

Margin of victory: Seven shots over Zach Johnson (68)
Woods had concluded his 2007 season with four wins in five starts, along with winning the inaugural FedExCup. He would win his first three starts of 2008, as well.
In between, Woods, then 31, took a lengthy competitive hiatus after the Presidents Cup in September. It didn't show at Sherwood. He dusted off the clubs 10 days before the event, carded a second-round 62 to jump ahead of the pack and cruised to the event's largest margin of victory at the time (Jordan Spieth won by 10 shots in 2014).
Woods' daughter Sam, 6 months old at the time, was on the scene for congratulations, as he punctuated a campaign that featured seven TOUR titles including the PGA Championship at Southern Hills.
That season, Woods ranked No. 1 on TOUR in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee and No. 2 in Strokes Gained: Putting. Seemingly his form had never been better. But he wasn't convinced.
"Obviously, I've got a lot of room for improvement, which is a great sign," he said. "Just imagine if I could hit the ball the way I wanted."
Even Woods had to be pleased with what awaited in 2008, which was on pace to be one of his best years before it was interrupted by knee surgery. He won four of his six starts and finished second at the Masters. His worst showing was a fifth-place finish in the World Golf Championship at Doral. His campaign ended with one of his most famous victories, the 2008 U.S. Open.

Margin of victory: One shot over Zach Johnson (71)
Woods hadn't won worldwide since the Australian Masters in November 2009. For a player who had accrued 71 PGA TOUR titles by age 33, it was a monumental drought brought on by the prolonged effects of personal scandal.
Woods, then 35, trailed Zach Johnson by one stroke with two holes to play. Then came a vintage Tiger finish. He drew even with a curling 15-foot birdie at the par-3 17th, and after Johnson missed a 15-foot birdie at the finishing hole, Woods made birdie from 6 feet to secure a one-stroke victory.
The emotion was palpable as Woods released a fist to the sky amidst a southern Californian roar.
"It feels awesome, whatever it is," said Woods of the winning emotion. "I had the lead at the Masters on the back nine, and had a chance at the Aussie Open. So this is my third time with a chance to win; I pulled it off this time."
The following March, Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard for his first TOUR win since the 2009 BMW Championship. It was his first of three 2012 TOUR wins, before winning five times in 2013.
