The 2019 Farm Asset Builder application period is closed. If you'd like to be added to our 2020 program interest list, please email us!
Farm Asset Builder is an Individual Development Account (IDA) matched savings program that strengthens farm businesses through asset acquisition and technical assistance. Farmer participants work with Angelic Organics Learning Center staff and partners to improve their financial and business planning skills. Participants also develop a plan to save a portion of their earned farm income over the course of one year. While there is no minimum, the maximum amount of savings that will be matched is $2,000. The Department of Health & Human Services offers income-eligible farmers the opportunity to earn even more money through an Assets For Independence (AFI) grant from the Administration for Children & Families. Applicants who qualify for AFI funds will receive an additional $2 match for every $1 saved!
We encourage military veterans to apply!
This material is based upon work that is supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under award number 2016-70017-25373.
A grant from Assets for Independence (AFI), a program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, funds approximately 7% percent ($18,824) of costs for this program. The remaining 93% ($275,000) is funded through other Federal and non-Federal sources.

Here's what it's like to live in Pine Hills: In late June, a bunch of smiling Orange County bureaucrats and politicians showed up with shovels and hard hats, ready to break ground on an extension of the West Orange Trail through the community.
It was very exciting news for the community. Urban trails have become a magnet for quality development. The West Orange Trail rescued Winter Garden's downtown. Trails increase property values, and real estate agents use them as a selling point.
Trails attract families who enjoy walking and biking together. They often draw new businesses and rarely add to crime. Just the ticket for Pine Hills, where a 7.6-mile leg of the West Orange Trail was to meander mostly along a power-line right of way, connecting with Barnett Park on Colonial Drive and eventually with a planned trail extending to Osceola County.
But in Pine Hills, disappointment is nothing new.
This particular groundbreaking was in June 2006, three years ago. After the officials got back in their cars and drove away, the mound of dirt they left behind got smaller and smaller with time.
When budget season rolled around last year, the mound was nearly gone. So was the Orange County Parks and Recreation Division budget to pay for projects, including $10.5 million set aside to design and build most of the Pine Hills trail. County officials bought some land since that 2006 groundbreaking, but that was all. The remaining money got whacked from the budget because of the county's financial crisis. So did $2 million for a community swimming pool.
Pine Hills wasn't the only place that lost out, but it's arguably the Orange County community most in need of some hope.
With a population of 60,000 or more, Pine Hills has more people than most Central Florida cities. But it has seen hard times since the 1950s, when it grew as a bedroom community for defense workers. Pine Hills has pockets of intense crime and blight, caused in part by clueless planning and institutional neglect.
Take a drive down Pine Hills Road and see urban planning at its worst. A road-widening project years ago left homes just a few feet away from a major thoroughfare. Many have been converted into tiny businesses with too little parking and too many access points. It's a mess.
But Pine Hills also has neighborhoods populated with decent working families who want nothing more than a safe environment to raise kids and enjoy life.
Political leaders haven't done enough to provide that. The Orange County Sheriff's Office was so inept at fighting crime in Pine Hills that school leaders declared it was too dangerous to rebuild Evans High School at its existing location. When the School Board tried to move it west, residents in nearby Ocoee persuaded Orange County commissioners to reject the plan.
This is the same Orange County Commission that has, over many years, has largely failed to reverse the declining quality of life in Pine Hills.
It's not lost on residents that political leaders are fond of calling International Drive "downtown Orange County," while Pine Hills tries to shake off the hated and demeaning moniker of "crime hills."
Politicians must end their benign neglect and start viewing Pine Hills with a renewed sense of purpose. A task force is being formed to spur a business renaissance, but that's only a start.
As the candidates who want to become the next Orange County mayor develop their platforms for change, we expect them to make Pine Hills a priority.
We expect them to develop ideas that show imagination and compassion for a community that deserves more than broken promises and self-serving ceremonies that bring only more disappointment.
Our editorial: Crist needs to stop undermining the process for picking judges.

As you see the lights and sirens behind you, you can't imagine your bad luck. It's only been a few months since you finally reinstated your driver's license after it was suspended for driving under the influence. Meanwhile, an old sports saying runs through your mind. "Three strikes you're out." If you're convicted of driving while intoxicated, you're sure it won't ultimately be pretty. In fact, you're a bit worried about the penalties for multiple DUI convictions.
The date of your arrest is critical in determining how the court may punish you for driving under the influence. And, if you're facing charges from the first of 2019 on – the penalties just got steeper.
Sufficient Amount of Alcohol: The blood alcohol content (BAC) is between .08% and .10%. Meanwhile, the reading must be taken within two hours after the driver got behind the wheel.
High Rate of Alcohol: BAC is over .10% but less than .16% under the same conditions stated above.
Notably, the three classifications are critical when determining DUI sentencing standards. In fact, they are also relevant in the new 2019 new DUI laws in Pennsylvania.
Grading: Old laws assign steeper penalties for those convicted of driving under the influence. Previously, the law didn't differentiate as far as the number of multiple offenses. Drivers with multiple charges all faced convictions for multiple DUI incidents.
Under new laws, additional grading criteria call for those found guilty of three prior offenses to face penalties for committing a third-degree felony.
DUI-involved Homicide: Previously convicted of DUI? If your subsequent offense involved someone's death, you faced three years in jail. That number changes to five years in 2019. Meanwhile, the third finding of guilt could mean you wind up behind bars for up to seven years.
Sentencing: in 2019, sentencing guideline for DUI convictions change substantially. In the past, Pennsylvania was one of the few states that did not consider driving under the influence as a felony offense. Now, a three-time convicted offender whose blood alcohol exceeds .16% faces felony penalties.
In the meantime, the laws also became stricter for individuals who still get behind the wheel – even though their licenses are suspended for DUI charges.
DUI convictions come with serious penalties and are often defensible. At Mazzoni Karam Petorak & Valvano, our office knows how driving while under the influence charges can impact you. Give us a call to schedule an appointment to see how we can assist you.

Assistant Commissioner for Samoa Prisons and Correction Service, Ulugia Niuia Aumua, agrees their Correction Officers are "unfit".
He made the comment during a press conference held at Tafaigata yesterday.
Last week, Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi labeled the Correction Officers as sumo wrestlers, noting they are unfit and the poor management of the Tafaigata prison is the reason the prisoners continue to escape.
"What the Prime Minister said about the lack of fitness of some prison officers is right."
"Even his comment about the poor management, I know he wouldn't just be saying that without facts and that is what we told our Minister, so he had informed the Prime minister about the situation and that's what happened."
"We don't need to point fingers, but as you know, there are other ministries who hire unfit workers, so it's not just us."
"But I agree with him about the fitness of our prison officers and we have got something planned out for our officers to help with their fitness."
Ulugia also admitted that the Tafaigata prison is also a cause of prisoner escaping.
"We took the blame for what happened when the inmates escaped," Ulugia explained.
He added: "So we can't hide from it and all we can do is to try and bring some understanding in the situation that we are in."
Last week, during the P.M's media conference, Tuilaepa slammed the "poor management" of the Tafa'igata prison as one of the reasons prisoners keep escaping.
He described prison guards as unfit, saying they need to get in shape so they can catch the prisoners.
On Wednesday last week, Lagalaga Misiluki became the latest prisoner to escape.
He was recaptured on Wednesday evening while Uili Manuleleua, who escaped before Christmas last year, is still on the run and his whereabouts is still unknown.
Tuilaepa said the information relayed to him was that Lagalaga was one of the cooks.
"There were four Correction officers present when the prisoner walked past them and escaped from jail," he said.
"I have advised the Commissioner to put the Correction Officer through some exercise or physical activities."
"They should be dropped off in Apia at 7a.m. and they should run all the way to Tafaigata."
"At another time, the Correction Officer, who escorted prisoners in their prison vehicle, had parked at the prison and the inmate opened the door and took off running."
"And the correction officer ran after the inmate but was unable to catch him because he looks like a sumo wrestler."
"They should retire," said Tuilaepa.
Tuilaepa said he was unhappy that prisoners keep escaping at will.
"I am shocked at the Commissioner for hiring them," he said about the unfit Prison guards.
"They should retire because it's useless for them to work."

Tanker-Trailer Loaded With Fuel Takes Wild Ride in Iowa
August 20, 2020 • by IFW Staff
A big rig hauling diesel ended up overturned in a homeowner's yard after a wild ride through Waterloo, Iowa, Thursday.
Screencapture Via KWWL
What started out as a run-of-the-mill traffic accident Thursday morning in Waterloo, Iowa, escalated into a bizarre high-speed police pursuit of a fleeing semi hauling a fuel tanker. It ended when the vehicle crashed into a house and overturned, spilling its load.
At about 6:15 a.m., someone drove a semi cab through a fence at a fuel blending facility, hitting several trees in the process. When that vehicle became struck, the driver reportedly went back to the blending facility, this time taking a semi towing a tanker-trailer containing 7,000 gallons of diesel. The tanker-trailer and the truck stop were both branded as belonging to Kwik Trip.
At about the same time Waterloo police were dispatched to an accident involving the semi-tanker-trailer rig and a minivan. While in route, police were advised that the semi-tanker-trailer had fled that collision traveling at a high rate of speed, the Waterloo Police Facebook page states.
Police soon spotted the big rig and gave pursuit. However, before it could be stopped the driver lost control, striking two parked vehicles and the side of a house before overturning.
As fuel drained into the street the Waterloo Fire-Rescue and police freed the driver and rushed him to a local hospital. Inside the home, a single resident escaped without injury.
At least one telephone pole hit during the chase will need to be replaced, local media report. There was also an injury in the first vehicle collision reported.
Residents living near the fuel spill were evacuated from their homes until it could be remediated. They were not able to return until 2 p.m.
No word yet on any pending charges.

Psychologist charged with statutory rape of California high school student
Posted 8:20 PM, September 24, 2019, by Tribune Media Wire
LA HABRA, Calif. — A 35-year-old school psychologist has been charged with statutory rape following a lengthy investigation over alleged sex with a student on the campus of La Habra High School in Southern California, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Kristin Lynn Boyle is seen in a booking photo released by the Orange County DA's office on Sept. 24, 2019.
Kristin Lynn Boyle of Lake Forest was accused of having an unlawful sexual relationship with a student in a classroom at the high school back in April 2018, according to a news release from the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
She was arrested on Sept. 20.
"Mental health professionals wield a tremendous amount of influence over their patients," DA Todd Spitzer said in the release. "This betrayal of trust is even more egregious because she used her position to gain her victim's trust and then exploited the therapist/patient relationship to prey on one of the very students she was entrusted with helping."
Boyle worked as a school psychologist at La Habra High at the time of the alleged incident. She has since been placed on administrative leave, the release stated.
No other victims were uncovered during the investigation, according to prosecutors.
Boyle faces up to three years in prison if convicted.
Anyone with information is asked to call La Habra police at 562-383-4300, or to submit a tip anonymously by going to http://www.tip411.com.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 52,000 cyclists were injured in traffic crashes in 2008. This is an increase of 9,000 injuries from the previous year. Of those cyclists injured in 2008, 716 lost their lives.

Why do PR agenices and marketers answer a question with a question?
Why do PR pros answer questions with a question?
Following on from last week's blog about getting in front of the press, I wanted to tackle another big issue (complaint? frustration?) we come across a lot – why do PR pros and marketers often answer a question with another question?
Imagine you've called in a public relations agency you found online or had recommended. You want to know what they can do for you, and ask one of these questions: can you help my business? Can you get us in the press? Where would you start and what will it cost? Instead of saying yes, yes, here and £15k, the people in front of you reply by asking you a question: why? Then follow up with a stream of other questions you probably weren't prepared for.
It feels like we're being vague, deliberately obtuse, even. All you want are straight answers and we're throwing it back at you like a frustrating game of catch. Familiar? This might help explain why we're so frustrating.
Strategic is a well-used word in the communication lexicon. We're all familiar with the sub-heading, we've seen it on websites, LinkedIn profiles and marketing literature. We're guilty of using it here, too. Unfortunately it's used as a generic and succinct description which assumes anyone reading it knows what a strategic approach to public relations actually is.
The word strategy is linked to planning, its synonyms include scenario and game plan. But a game plan has a goal and the only way to find out a goal is to, well, ask. To tell you whether we can help your business we need to know what you want help with. We also need to know if you're already on the path to achieving that goal or aren't even off the starting line. We have to ask why before we can tell you how.
Taking a strategic approach often involves breaking something down before building it up, we won't know where to start if we don't know where you are.
Generally speaking, PR people are extremely curious and inquisitive, and, often, a business will hire a PR agency for a big ideas and creativity. But, sad to say, we do not pluck those big ideas from the air like magic. We need information and lots of it. That means we need to – you guessed it – ask questions. The more you volunteer the broader and deeper our understanding becomes and the better we can help you with that desired creative approach.
I recently ordered a new rucksack online and it arrived six hours later. I can see what's happening across the world in real-time thanks to Twitter. Everything is about instant gratification and that's reflected in the business world. Fast results, quick wins, overnight success and sudden fame and fortune are strong, appealing temptations. Far less desirable is a measured approach, which, though will lead to stronger foundations and lasting impact, takes time that many businesses feel they don't have.
When we go into a business we are viewed, sometimes, as the fixers, the people who will sweep in, lift the burden and replace it with a neatly wrapped present filled with all the answers and results. In reality what we do is lift the burden, examine it, question you about it, unpick it, deconstruct it and then reshape it from burden to opportunity. This is not a quick turnaround, but it's a process that offers consistency, stability and results that last longer than a 3am tweet.
Don't be frustrated when a PR consultant or PR agency team responds with another question, it means they're digging deeper and trying to understand your business, your needs, your team and you. Viewing this as a demonstration of best practice rather than a blockade makes the agency/client relationship stronger and more fruitful.


At a time when house foreclosures are on the rise, beleaguered and vulnerable property owners who are at risk of losing their Jersey Shore homes are increasingly the targets of unscrupulous con-artists offering fast and false solutions.
Foreclosure "rescue" and refinance fraud. The scam artist offers to act as an intermediary between you and your lender to negotiate a repayment plan or loan modification and may even "guarantee" to save your home from foreclosure. You may be told to make mortgage payments to the scammer directly — along with significant, up-front fees — and be told that the scammer will forward the payments to your lender. In reality, the scammer may pocket your money and leave you in worse shape on your loan. The scam artist also may tell you to stop making payments or stop communicating with your lender. Don't follow that advice.
Fake "government" modification programs. Unscrupulous people may claim to be affiliated with, or approved by, the government or may ask you to pay high up-front fees to qualify for government mortgage modification programs. While government-supported mortgage modification and refinancing initiatives are legitimate, the scam artists' claims are not. Keep in mind that you do not have to pay to benefit from these government programs. All you need to do is contact your lender or loan servicer.
Debt-elimination schemes. Scammers may claim to be able to "eliminate" your debt by making illegitimate legal arguments that you are not obligated to pay back your mortgage. These scammers will provide you with inaccurate claims about applicable laws and finance, such as that "secret laws" can be used to eliminate debt or that banks do not have the authority to lend money. Do not stop making payments on your mortgage based on their claims.
Do NOT sign over your deed!

PPC Flexible Packaging shifts to a new private equity backer
Plastics News Staff
PPC Flexible Packaging LLC
As the new majority owner of PPC, GTCR is signaling intentions to further growth by "continuing their successful consolidation of high-quality flexible packaging companies."
PPC Flexible Packaging LLC is getting a new majority owner as the company's original private equity backer is cashing out on its investment.
Morgan Stanley Capital Partners sold the Buffalo Grove, Ill.-based PPC to investment firm GTCR LLC of Chicago, but management will continue to hold what is described as a "significant minority stake," the new owner said.
PPC was formed by CEO Kevin Keneally in 2017 to convert and print films, bags and pouches. The company also provides packaging prototype services. The company's sweet spots include short- and medium-run orders.
PPC has used the financial support of MSCP to grow over time and GTCR calls the company a "top 20" flexible packaging manufacturer.
"Kevin and the PPC team have built a remarkable business in a short period of time by acquiring differentiated packaging assets focused on attractive end markets," GTCR Managing Director David Donnini said in a statement.
Keneally credited MSCP and said the company will continue to expand.
"Four years ago, I partnered with MSCP as our growth partner because we believed they had the track record, deep subsector expertise and operational focus to help build a leading player in the flexible packaging market," Keneally said in a statement. "MSCP has been a tremendous partner to the entire PPC team, continuously supporting our organic growth aspirations, operational initiatives and M&A capabilities."
And now, it's GTCR's turn, and the new majority owner of PPC is signaling intentions to further growth by "continuing their successful consolidation of high-quality flexible packaging companies."
GTCR, based in Chicago, was co-founded in 1980 by Bruce Rauner, who went on to later become governor of Illinois. Other companies in the private equity firm's portfolio include Vivid Seats, a live events ticket reseller, and Consumer Cellular, a mobile phone company aiming at an older demographic.
"We will continue to support our customers with exceptional service while expanding our product offering through innovation and acquisitions," Keneally said. "GTCR brings unique experience in building industry-leading companies and expects to commit additional capital to fund growth."
The change in private equity backers continues a busy year for PPC.
The company, less than a month ago, acquired Consumer Packaging Group Inc. of Hartland, Wis., a provider of rapid-turnaround prototypes and package samples for consumer products companies. PPC also purchased Target Labels & Packaging LLC of North Salt Lake, Utah, in May.

Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon: Iran Paid Hefty Price to Support Palestine, Will Give More
Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghadanfar Rokon Abadi accentuated that, "The Islamic Republic proudly declared its aid and support to the resistance in Gaza against the Zionists."
In an interview with al-Manar TV, Abadi stated, "In Iran, we have ideologies such as supporting the oppressed and weak," indicating that, "the Palestinian cause is considered the most just cause, and we had paid a hefty price for aiding Palestine, yet we are willing to give more."
"The "Israeli" aggression on Gaza unveiled the hypocrisy of those who claim to advocate democracy and human rights, such as the US and West, that support "Israel's" murder of children and women in Gaza," Abadi deliberated.
Algerian scholar: Imam Khomeini's ideas inspire Islamic Awakening
Imam Khomeini (r.a): "Join hands because there is a certain victory against the difficulties through this unity."
Imam Rohollah Khomeini (r.a) a spirit from Allah and a gift for all Muslims and Oppressed ones.

Wayne County, Michigan, GOP members of canvassing board ask to 'rescind' their votes certifying the election
In affidavits signed on Wednesday night time time, the 2 GOP members of the four-member Wayne County Board of Canvassers allege that they have been improperly pressured into certifying the election and accused Democrats of reneging on a promise to audit votes in Detroit.
"I rescind my prior vote," Monica Palmer, the board's chairwoman, wrote in an affidavit reviewed by The Washington Put up. "I utterly take into consideration the Wayne County vote shouldn't be licensed."
William Hartmann, the choice Republican on the board, has signed an identical affidavit, in accordance an individual conversant inside the doc. Hartmann didn't reply to a message from The Put up.
Jonathan Kinloch, a Democrat and the board's vice chairman, advised The Put up that it's too late for the pair to reverse course, on account of the licensed outcomes have already been despatched to the secretary of state in accordance with state pointers. He lashed out on the Republicans over their requests.
"Do they perceive how they're making us look as a physique?" he talked about. "We've such an unbelievable and necessary place all through the democratic course of, they usually're turning it on its head."
On the coronary coronary coronary heart of the dispute is a last-minute compromise between Kinloch and the Republicans to hunt a complete audit of ends inside the Detroit home, the place the GOP members talked in regards to the votes have been out of stability — which suggests that the ballot e-book, the official file of who voted, didn't match the variety of ballots obtained.
Palmer and Hartmann talked about of their affidavits that they believed that they'd an organization dedication to an audit. However Palmer says in her affidavit that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) later talked about she didn't view their decision asking for an audit as binding.
"I felt misled," Palmer advised The Put up earlier on Wednesday, earlier than signing the affidavit. "I stand firm in not certifying Wayne County with out the audit."
Kinloch, although, talked about that Palmer and Hartmann knew precisely what they have been agreeing to, and that the board has nevertheless to even formally ask Benson for the audit.
"She knew it wasn't binding," Kinloch talked about. "We merely voted yesterday."
Kinloch talked about he and Palmer texted one another into the early hours of Wednesday, with the Democrat explaining that he had help all via the board for the request. However he talked about Palmer was conscious that he had not been capable of instantly attain the secretary of state's workplace on Tuesday night time.
He talked in regards to the two furthermore communicated in regards to the necessity to position collectively a joint letter to the secretary of state to ask for the audit.
Hours earlier than signing the affidavit, Palmer advised The Put up that her expertise on Tuesday night time had left her shaken. After first voting in opposition to certifying the outcomes, a parade of activists and elections employees spoke to the board, with many accusing Palmer and Hartmann of racism for calling into query the outcomes from majority-Black Detroit precincts.
"Closing night time was heartbreaking," Palmer advised The Put up. "I sat in that chair for 2 hours listening to individuals assault me" as a racist who was making an attempt to disenfranchise Detroit residents. She talked about her intentions have been the other — nonetheless her efforts have been misplaced in a sea of invective that night time that included dying threats in opposition to her and her household.
Palmer talked about that she and Hartmann had been involved on account of the foremost vote final summer season season that a variety of precincts have been out of stability. She talked about she by no means believed that corrections, which have been made in some precincts, would change the vote totals all through the county or the state in a approach that may upend the victory for Biden, who carried Michigan by just about 150,000 votes.
"We weren't delaying the inevitable," talked about Palmer, referring to complaints that the GOP board members have been stalling on behalf of President Trump. "We frequently knew that the margin of victory was such that it was not going to vary the tip consequence."
After she filed her affidavit asking to rescind her vote, Kinloch accused her and Hartmann of bowing to stress from the Republican Celebration and the White Residence, which has waged a accredited promoting and advertising advertising marketing campaign in search of to overturn the outcomes of the election.
Trump supporters have attacked the choice to certify the Wayne County vote all day on Wednesday, with Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican Nationwide Committee, describing it as "mob rule."
In her interview with The Put up, Palmer put it in a different way. "There wasn't mob rule," she talked about. There was stress to certify, nonetheless she talked about she didn't succumb to it. She solely went ahead, she talked about due to the promise of an audit.
Kinloch lamented the late try by Republicans to vary their vote.
"They're collaborating in with the vote and the necessity of the individuals," Kinloch talked about.

Mahesh Babu's 'Bollywood Cannot Afford me' Statement Sparks Debate
HYDERABAD, (IANS) – Mahesh Babu recently made a statement at Adivi Sesh's 'Major' trailer launch, which has sparked a debate. When asked about his plans to star in Bollywood films, the actor stated "Bollywood cannot afford me."
Even though the statement has been taken out of context, social media is buzzing with conversations about the same subject.
Mahesh Babu's fans defend his statement, claiming that he has always given the same response, which is now being exaggerated.
"I may come across as arrogant, but I have received numerous offers in Hindi. However, I believe they cannot afford me. I don't want to squander any of my time or others. I never considered leaving Telugu cinema or going to other places, because of the fame and love I have here."
"I've always imagined making films here and seeing them grow in popularity, and that dream is now becoming a reality. I couldn't be more pleased," is what the 'Okkadu' actor stated at the event.
Mahesh Babu is also not comfortable with acting in remakes, which he has always been open about. "If a person doesn't want to work in a certain space, why do we have to assume that the person doesn't respect them?", one of his fans wrote.
"Why do we have to draw controversy from every other statement by the actors", another one wrote.

Die Familie von Behr ist ein niedersächsisches und pommersches Uradelsgeschlecht. Bereits um 1105–1167 ist Hermann von Behr als Domherr und später Archidiakon in Halberstadt nachgewiesen.

Geschichte
Das Geschlecht selbst führt seine Abstammung auf den Edelfreien Hugold (1148–1162) zurück, der ein Bruder des Bischofs Hermann von Verden und Vogt der Hermannsburg war. Dies ist jedoch nach aktuellem Forschungsstand fraglich und urkundlich ist die Verbindung zu den nachfolgenden Familien nicht nachweisbar. Vermutlich waren Bischof Hermann von Verden und sein Bruder Hugold Edelherren von Ampfurth (siehe Weblink).

Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts trat Eberhard Bere im Gefolge Heinrichs des Löwen und seiner Söhne auf. Auf diesen Eberhard führen alle vier Stämme der zu Beginn des 13. Jahrhunderts urkundlich mit gleichlautendem Namen Bere und Ursus (Urkundenlatein) genannten Familien, sowie dem schwarzen Bären im Wappen, ihren Ursprung zurück.

Dem urkundlich ältesten Stamm der Osnabrücker Bere (später Baer und Bar genannt) von 1204, folgten der Pommern-Gützkower Stamm 1224, der Pommern-Rügensche Stamm 1231 und der Niedersächsisch-Lüneburger Stamm 1259.

Die von Behr verbreiteten sich bereits im 13. Jahrhundert nach Pommern-Rügen und Pommern-Gützkow aus und wurden dort einflussreiche Grundbesitzer mit ausgedehnten Ländereien. Die Rügenschen Behr wurden so genannt, weil sich ihre Besitzungen anfänglich im Bereich des festländischen Teils des Fürstentums Rügen befand. Fälschlicherweise wurde dieser Stamm auch mit Mecklenburger bezeichnet, weil große Teile seiner Besitzungen sich von Vorpommern nach Mecklenburg ausdehnten. Im Einschreibebuch des Klosters Dobbertin von 1696–1918 befinden sich 26 Eintragungen von Töchtern der Familien von Behr von 1714–1912 aus Gresse, Gentzkow, Nustrow, Hindenberg, Groß Görnow und Mühlenbeck zur Aufnahme in das adelige Damenstift. Von Töchtern der Familien von Behr-Negendank gab es 10 Eintragungen von 1767–190 aus Semlow und Plennin.

Im 18. Jahrhundert nahm das Geschlecht den Namen von Behr-Negendank an. Die Gützkower Behrs nannten sich so, weil ihre Besitzungen in der damaligen Grafschaft Gützkow, dem späteren Kreis Greifswald lagen.

Lüneburger Stamm
Seit Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts gehören die von Behr zum Lüneburger Adel, ab 1470 bis heute auf dem Gut Stellichte.
Von diesem Stamm ging Dietrich von Behr 1550 nach Kurland. Dort erwarben die Behrs unter anderen 1561 das Gut Schleck (Zlēkas) und erbauten 1653 das Gutshaus Popen (heute Pope im Bezirk Ventspils, Lettland).

Stamm Osnabrück
→ Siehe Hauptartikel: Bar (Adelsgeschlecht)

Stamm Pommern-Gützkow

Für den Stamm Pommern-Gützkow wurde der älteste überlieferte Lehnbrief der Behrs am 28. September 1275 durch Herzog Barnim I. und seinen Sohn Bogislaw IV. ausgestellt, ohne dass in der Urkunde Besitzungen namentlich aufgeführt wurden.

Erst der Lehnbrief von 1491 für Harnid (1), Harnid (2), Heinrich und Gerhard von Behr gesessen zu Müssow, Vargatz und Schlagtow nennt in Gesamthand alle Besitzungen des Geschlechts. Das sind im Einzelnen: Müssow, Vargatz, Schlagtow, Busdorf (später Behrenhoff genannt), Negentin, Kiesow, Stresow, Schmoldow, Bandelin, Dargezin, Strellin, Gnatzkow (später Karlsburg genannt), Schlatkow, Sanz und Karzin(?).

Die Lehnbriefe (Güter und Bede) befanden sich im Original im alten Bandeliner Schloss, sie verbrannten 1928 mit dem Schloss und dem gesamten Inventar. Es blieben nur Kopien und moderne Fotoablichtungen sowie die alten Übersetzungen.

1277 erwarben Heinrich von Behr und dessen Sohn Henning große Besitzungen in der ostpommerschen Herrschaft Bütow, beide waren seinerzeit Marschalle der Pommernherzöge. Sie verloren diese Besitzungen aber um 1326 und wandten sich danach nach Mecklenburg, wo ihre Familie um 1580 ausstarb. Diese Linie gehörte aber zum Stamm Gützkow/Pommern.

Felix von Behr-Bandelin auf Bandelin erhielt vom König in Stralsund am 8. Juni 1865 den Freiherrentitel, dieser war aber nur auf seine Person beschränkt.
1877 erhielten die Behrenhoffer und 1878 die Bandeliner von Behr den Grafentitel, der alte Friedrich von Behr auf Vargatz und Schmoldow lehnte die Standeserhöhung, die für das ganze Geschlecht galt, ab. Deshalb die verschiedenen Wappenvarianten im Kreishaus des Landkreises Greifswald, wo die Wappenfriese der Kreistagsmitglieder (24 Gutsherren u. 3 Städte) angebracht waren. Dabei wurde auf ein Doppelwappen der Behrenhoffer und Bandeliner Grafen verzichtet, weil Carl (Charly) von Behr-Behrenhoff als Landrat nicht direkt Mitglied des Kreistages war.

Als 1933 Carl Friedrich Felix Graf von Behr starb, erbte sein von ihm schon 1929 adoptierter jüngerer Neffe Gerd von Behr (1915–1940) das Gut, aber testamentarisch erhielt seine zweite Ehefrau als Witwe Mechtild Gräfin von Behr geb. von Heyden das lebenslange Nutzungsrecht für Behrenhoff. Gräfin Behr wiederum hatte 1934 dann den älteren Neffen Dr. med. Detloff von Heyden – von Behr adoptiert, der selbst auch ausgebildeter Landwirt war. Gräfin Behr hatte 1936/1937 der Bekennenden Kirche (Gegner von Hitlers Staatskirche) und dem später ermordeten Dietrich Bonhoeffer das Schloss Behrenhoff für Lesungen und Ausbildung von Theologen zur Verfügung gestellt. Sie erregte damit die Aufmerksamkeit und den Unwillen des NS-Staates und wurde 1940 in "Schutzhaft" genommen.

Stamm Pommern-Rügen
Repräsentanten dieser Familie waren Erbküchenmeister von Pommernherzog Bogislaw XIII. des Fürstentums Rügen und des Landes Barth. Da diese Familie auch größere Besitzungen in Mecklenburg hatte, u. a. Behren-Lübchin und Dölitz bei Gnoien, wird sie fälschlicherweise als Mecklenburger Familienstamm bezeichnet.

Aus dem Stamm Rügen/Pommern mit dem vor 1398 erworbenen Stammsitz Schloss Semlow ging die im Grenzgebiet Pommern – Mecklenburg reich begüterte Familie Behr-Negendank hervor. Im 18. Jahrhundert nahm Karl August von Behr den vereinigten Namen Behr-Negendank an. 1861 erhielt Ulrich von Behr-Negendank aus dem Hause Semlow den preußischen Grafentitel. Zu Semlow gehörten Plennin, Kavelsdorf und Katzenow. Passow gehörte zum Negendank'schen Erbe.

1862 wurde einem Zweig die russische Anerkennung zur Führung des Baronstitels erteilt. Ein im 19. Jahrhundert entstandener und 1953 neu gegründeter Familienverband vereinigt die Stämme der Grafen, Barone und Herren von Behr und Behr-Negendank.

Wappen
Das Geschlecht derer von Behr führt vier Stammwappen.
 Das Rügen/Pommersche zeigt in Silber einen schreitenden schwarzen Bären mit goldenem Halsband. Auf dem Helm mit schwarz-silbernen Decken der Bär.
 Das Gützkow/Pommersche zeigt in Silber einen aufgerichteten schwarzen Bären. Auf dem Helm mit schwarz-silbernen Decken zwei abgewendete silberne Schwanenhälse.
 Das niedersächsische und kurländische zeigt in Silber einen schreitenden schwarzen Bären. Auf dem Helm mit schwarz-silbernen Decken der Bär vor einem natürlichen Pfauenwedel aus sieben, an den Stielen mit roten Pfauenfedern umbändert.
 Das jüngere Wappen der Osnabrücker von Baer deren Verwandtschaft zu den hier behandelten von Behr nicht gesichert ist, zeigt in Silber einen auf schrägrechts schwarz-silbernem Schach klimmenden schwarzen Bären mit goldenem Halsband. Auf dem Helm mit schwarz-silbernen Decken ein Bündel schwarzer Kerbstöcke.

Die von Behr-Negendank haben ein viergeteiltes Wappen: in eins und vier ist der schreitende Bär des Rügen/Pommerschen Stammes, zwei und drei sind durch eine linke silberne Spitze von Gold und Rot geteilt († 1767 Negendank).

Daneben wurden von den Behr in den Landschaften Lüneburg, Gützkow, Stargard und Rügen auch noch völlig abweichende Wappen geführt, darunter mit Schwanenhälsen im Schild, oder mit zwei aufsteigenden Spitzen und Rosen darin.

Point of View: whose story is it anyway?
We writers often get into a kerfuffle about the point(s) of view in our story – short or novel. Maybe it's because we get so caught up in the plot and characters we do a version of not seeing the forest for the trees. So in one paragraph Suzie and Bert may be talking but Suzie's thoughts are incorporated with her dialogue and in the next Bert's thoughts are included with his dialogue. Oops. That's two points of view in one scene. I call it "jumping heads" (but it's not nasty like lice).
The reader can definitely get confused with this setup (Picture the reader jumping back and forth from Suzie to Bert; hence the term "jumping heads").
Often this problem has its roots in the author not being clear just whose story it is?
Let's look at a brief excerpt from my short story "Gone Missing" from my mystery collection Beyond the Tripping Point. This story features the fraternal twin private investigators, Dana Bowman and Bast Overture. In the beginning, they are in their office talking to a new client.
"The police can't find her, Ms Bowman," Robin Morgrave says to me.
This sets the point of view for this story. Although it might appear to be Robin Morgrave's story from the beginning dialogue, the second paragraph clearly lets us know that it is Dana's story – because behind dealing with Robin's case, Dana is still dealing with the fallout from her own son's kidnapping and how that affects finding Rosemary. That will be following throughout the story. So, the Point of View is with Dana. You can also see that you don't necessarily have to start the story with something said about, some narrative about, or something said by the POV character. You can weave it in – as long as it stays in that character's POV and comes across as such.
So, how do you decide whose point of view to tell your story from? You ask yourself "whose story is it?" which can help… somewhat. There are exceptions, such as Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which is not told from The Great Gatsby's point of view but from his friend. However, the story is basically about Gatsby. It can get tricky.
There is a way to get around this "whose story is it" when the novel is really more than one character's story or the story is about something such as catching a serial killer. The latter may involve a couple of police officers, the victim or victims, and even the serial killer. Here you are allowed to use multiple points of view. But there are guidelines. The rule of thumb is each chapter or each scene (if you have more than one scene in a chapter) must be from the point of view of one character only. When you start another chapter you can change the point of view. You just leave a double space to show scene changes.
Short stories are usually told from one point of view, but again there are exceptions. However, it is best to keep it to two points of view maximum as a short story has limited space in which to tell your story. Again, you can use the scene change set-up to go from one character's point of view to another character's. You can also segue from one character to another – once – in a scene, not a constant flipping back and forth. This latter is more difficult to do.
My short stories in Beyond the Tripping Point keep to one character's point of view – sometimes in first person and sometimes in third person. We'll cover that aspect in a future post. Now, in the rewrite of a prequel novel (to "Gone Missing," "Saving Grace" and the other two linked stories in Beyond the Tripping Point) I use multiple points of view. You can probably guess from the beginning of "Gone Missing" above what the novel is about. But because it's a novel with police officers, two private investigators, a little boy and others, I'm focusing on the bigger picture of the story line and how it affects not only Dana, but other key players. My technique here is to put the character's name at the top of the scene/chapter for point of view – mainly because I put Dana in the first person and everyone else in third person. And yes, I use the scene change technique.
In another post we will also look at some tricks to "get inside" the non POV characters without jumping heads and staying with the POV character.
What is my story now? I'm busy doing pre-book launch PR for Beyond the Tripping Point. That includes an interview appearance on a podcast TV show. It's been awhile since I've been in front of a video camera (or behind one) so we'll see how it goes. I'll report in the next blog.
How I got my publisher for my mystery short story collection Beyond the Tripping Point comes under the latter. The Editor at Blue Denim Press used to come regularly to my East End Writers' (critique) Group when he still lived in Toronto. He is also a writer. Once we traded manuscripts for evaluation (although mine was a memoir, not the short story collection). When he and the other half of Blue Denim Press, his wife, the Publisher, did a presentation about Blue Denim Press and marketing books at a Canadian Authors Association Toronto branch meeting last fall, I approached them and mentioned a collection of short stories. They said send it in during January and February when they look at manuscripts. So I did – but only seven of my stories.
Murder, attempted murder, sexual abuse, kidnapping, missing persons, vengeance, revenge, suicide, gambling, explosions, vehicular mishaps, indignity to a dead body, even love occur. Like all life's happenings, they affect the characters–women, men and children–in their journey through life–emotionally, sometimes damaging them, sometimes stalling them in limbo, but often forcing them to reach beyond the tripping point. And to get there, these quirky characters frequently do the absurd and the unthinkable, often with unexpected results.
By the way, I thought of the title and the publisher loved it.
So, what can we learn from my experience besides the obvious that I did not follow convention?
Network, network and network – a combination of social media and in-person works best.
Network with specific targets and goals. I focused on the publishing industry – trade shows, conferences, writing organizations, and workshops. You will meet a variety of writers, publishers, agents, etc. You might just chat with them for a bit and exchange business cards. Follow up by email.You might also do more (see below).
Join some of these writing organizations and attend their meetings and seminars.
Talk to the people at the conferences, etc. (wallflower acting not allowed) – introduce yourself and what you write. Ask the publisher or literary agent who is the guest speaker/attending the conference, etc. if you could send a query letter/part of your manuscript. Most will say yes, but remember that doesn't guarantee you they will publish you or represent you. It means they will read your submission (and often they will skip their guidelines and say "just email the manuscript"). Follow-up within a week or two and in your cover or query letter make sure you remind them where you met.
Remember the above can be a two-way street when you network. Sometimes it includes what you can do for them. For example, with writing organizations they are always looking for volunteers. Volunteering with a writing organization can help you connect with more writers, publishers, etc. It is also a good way to learn the ins and outs of the writing business. And it looks good on your bio for future query letters, etc.
Join a writing critique group – this will help you hone your writing.
Social media includes: Facebook, a blog about your book, Twitter, Goodreads, Linked In.
Don't give up. My memoir is still trying to find a home. (Note: at this point Blue Denim Press publishes only fiction).
For those too far away to attend, Beyond the Tripping Point is available at http://www.amazon.com. Just click on the book cover at the top of this post.
I'm off to another public reading for my just released collection of mystery short stories Beyond the Tripping Point (Blue Denim Press, 2012). It's all part of the book promo and it is and has been busy, what with trying to get book reviews, nailing TV and radio appearances, etc. My publisher shares this marketing, which really helps.
But before you get into this book PR, you have to land your publisher or literary agent. And that can seem daunting. There are so many unpublished authors with talent, many more than "publishing spaces." E-books are creating more readers (and more publishing space), but some authors are going the self-publishing route and I say more power to them. But what about those who prefer the traditional route?
You can't just dump your novel or short story collection on an agent or publisher. They don't have time to read the whole story unless something about it grabs their attention. Your job is to get their attention – right away.
One way is through query letters, synopses, and sample chapters. Some agents and publishers want this whole package; most prefer the query letter only and then if that gets their attention, they will ask for more.
There are variations to the "when setup," which focus more on the characters, the time period – whatever is most pertinent to your novel AND will grab the agent's or publisher's attention.
Paragraph three covers your background – published writing (books, stories in journals or magazines, newsletters, especially if you've won any writing contests or awards). Not a published author? What about your education and expertise? Is it related to your novel? For example, for Can of Worms if the author is adopted and tried to find her birth mother, is or was a school teacher, and has travelled to Rome (in order of importance to the novel – all not necessary), you can use that to establish credentials for writing the novel.
Some agents or publishers want a little marketing information from you, so you could either put it in a second sentence in paragraph one or write a short fourth paragraph (better). Focus on how your novel is different from what's out there. Be specific, including naming another novel. Also state who your readers would be (thirty-somethings, seniors, adoptees, etc.).
Your final paragraph is The Thank You and the Ask. Thank the agent or publisher for their time, ask if they would like a synopsis and sample chapters and you look forward to their reply.
Your query should be only one page but with most sent by email you can cheat – but just a little – no equivalent to one and a half to three pagers. Another suggestion: check submission guidelines on the agent's or publisher's website and follow them to the well, query letter.
Next week we'll go into another way of getting the attention of agents and publishers, including how I got my publisher for Beyond the Tripping Point.
The fact is we writers view our own writing very subjectively. A phrase or sentence or plot sequence may appear brilliant in our eyes but read out loud (with plenty of light) around the writing circle, the flaws start to show up. As we learned in last week's post, reading out loud does this, but so much more when there are other ears besides your own hearing it.
I'm not trying to be negative here. One of the goals of writing critique groups needs to be pointing out the strengths and weaknesses in a positive, helpful and friendly manner. Giving suggestions for how you can improve your story is even better. Sometimes the group members agree on what needs fixing; sometimes they don't. What you are receiving is a number of options to consider. I find that if many people agree on one point, a change is probably necessary. And with other eyes and ears on your manuscript, the feedback is objective. No tunnel vision.
In General – Is the beginning a reader hook? Is the lead at the beginning or later in the story? Does the story flow? Is there a point or theme to the story? What is the story's biggest strength?
Plot – Besides grabbing the reader in paragraph one, does the plot contain suspense? Foreshadowing? Have a mixture of narration, dialogue, action and inner thoughts appropriate to the story? Is the story credible? Have some resolution at the end?
Characters – Are characters distinct? Three-dimensional? Believable? Interesting? Do they have character tags? (for example, jiggling keys in a pocket when nervous), Is there a protagonist? Antagonist? How do they interact? Dialogue appropriate to the characters? Further develop the plot and characters?
Point of View (more coming in a later post; I promise) – Too many points of view? Is POV used the best POV for the story? Whose story is it?
Writer's Style – What is the style? Laid-back? Moody? Simple (as in simply told, not stupid)? Lyrical? Literary? Fast-paced? Light and humorous? ). Are word choices and phrases unique?
Mechanics – spelling, grammar, punctuation (including my two favourites – verb tense mix-up and incorrect dialogue setup).
Now that you have some idea what writing critique groups do (or should do), how do you find a suitable writing group? Consider if you want a group exclusive to fiction or whatever you write or to cover all writing areas. (EEWG is the latter). Consider if you want in-person or online. If the former, consider the geographic distance. Is it free or is there a charge? (EEWG is free but participants bring a gluten-free snack for our networking-snack break. We like to talk and eat.) What type of critique setup do you want? Some groups require pre-submission of manuscripts; some only critique one manuscript per session; some groups have page and time limits for reading. Some meet weekly, bi-weekly, monthly. (EEWG meets one evening monthly except July, August and December. We have a 10-minute reading limit, so length is up to six-pages double-spaced, copies for others and no pre-submissions.) Check out local library branch websites – many library branches run writing groups or know who does. Check local writing organizations. When you find a group, try it out a few times and if it doesn't work for you, move on to another group. Can't find a suitable group? Start one yourself. I did 12 years ago.
If your schedule is tight already you might want to go the online critique route. For example, in Canada, the Canadian Authors Association (http://www.canauthors.org) has a Virtual branch for its members. Google "writing critique groups" and see what you get. The beauty here is you can pick one not in your geographic area. But remember, most online groups require give and take – for every critique you get you have to do one (sometimes more) critique of another person's writing. That's how we learn – from each other and each other's writing.
Happy writing and happy critiquing.

Harvey Weinstein Accused Of Sexual Harassment By More Women Including Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow
New accounts from actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie about Weinstein's harassment of them early in their careers have surfaced

Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, already suspected of decades of sexual harassment, came under withering fire Tuesday with a new report accusing him of raping three women he had worked with during his long tenure as one of Hollywood's most powerful figures.
The new report in the New Yorker magazine was followed within hours by a second article in the New York Times that included accounts from actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie about Weinstein's harassment of them early in their careers.
The twin stories were a devastating blow to Weinstein's legacy and reputation, which already had been badly damaged last week by a Times story reporting that Weinstein had reached monetary settlements with eight women who alleged he had pressured them for sex. Those revelations forced the board of the Weinstein Co. to fire him as co-chairman Sunday.
The stories Tuesday coincided with public condemnation of Weinstein from Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Weinstein has been a longtime Democratic donor and was a supporter of President Bill Clinton during his campaigns and of Hillary Clinton in 2016; the Weinstein Co. also employed President Barack Obama's eldest daughter, Malia, as an intern this year.
"I was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein," Hillary Clinton said in a statement. "The behavior described by women coming forward cannot be tolerated. Their courage and the support of others is critical in helping to stop this kind of behavior."
Weinstein, 65, is one of the most successful producers in movie history. Starting with Miramax, the studio he co-founded with his brother, Bob, and named for their parents Miriam and Max, he proved to have a golden touch for both popular and critical acclaim. Miramax, and later the Weinstein Co., produced such Oscar winners as Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient, The King's Speech and The Artist. His company's television work includes the reality show "Project Runway."
By Tuesday afternoon, more than a dozen women had publicly accused Weinstein of a range of misconduct, including sexual harassment, assault and rape. Weinstein's accusers said he threatened their careers if they rejected his advances.
The reports, which also included details from unnamed former and current Weinstein company executives, have sent shock waves through Hollywood. After the initial Times story, more women came forward with their own "casting-couch" tales. Numerous stars have condemned Weinstein, including Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain and George Clooney.
Weinstein "unequivocally denied" any allegations of nonconsensual sex, spokeswoman Sallie Hofmeister said in a statement, which added that "there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances." Regarding on-the-record allegations, Weinstein "believes that all of these relationships were consensual," Hofmeister said.
The Times' initial story Thursday broke open what had been whispered but never explicitly stated in Hollywood and New York. On Tuesday, Paltrow and Jolie came forward, as did Heather Graham and Mira Sorvino, who won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in the Weinstein-produced Mighty Aphrodite in 1996.
Sorvino told the New Yorker that Weinstein sexually harassed her and tried to pressure her into a physical relationship while they worked together. At a hotel one night, she said, "he started massaging my shoulders, which made me very uncomfortable, and then tried to get more physical, sort of chasing me around."
She said she rebuffed him. Although she appeared in several more Weinstein films, she said she felt that saying no to Weinstein and reporting his harassment to a Miramax employee ultimately had hurt her career.
The New Yorker story was written by Ronan Farrow, 29, the son of actress Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, who directed Mighty Aphrodite.
The New Yorker and Times stories contain similar details and generally corroborate and complement each other. In addition to on-the-record descriptions of the encounters, both accounts describe the ways in which Weinstein and his assistants kept his accusers quiet through payoffs, direct threats and indirect intimidation, such as planting unfavorable stories about them in the news media.
The stories about Weinstein's behavior appear to fit a pattern: Weinstein, under the pretense of discussing film or TV work, would invite women to a private place, often a hotel suite. Sometimes female or male assistants would be present, giving the women a sense of security, but then they would quickly depart. Sometimes Weinstein behaved professionally for some time before appearing nude except for a bathrobe, asking for massages, exposing himself or asking women to watch him shower.
Three women - two on the record - told the New Yorker that Weinstein raped them. One of the women, an Italian actor-director named Asia Argento, said that after she reluctantly agreed to give Weinstein a massage in a hotel room in 1997, he pulled up her skirt, forced her legs apart and performed oral sex on her. She said she repeatedly told him to stop.
Weinstein "terrified me, and he was so big," she said. "It wouldn't stop. It was a nightmare."
The New Yorker also published audio, obtained during a 2015 New York Police Department sting, in which Weinstein admits to model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez that he groped her as he tried to persuade her to join him in his hotel room. "Oh, please, I'm sorry, just come on in," he tells her.
The accusers included high-profile actresses such as Paltrow, Jolie and Ashley Judd, who told the New York Times that Weinstein made unwanted advances.
The revelation from Paltrow in Tuesday's Times story was particularly stunning, as she played the lead in "Shakespeare in Love," which won the 1999 Oscar for best picture, a major upset and crowning achievement for Weinstein.
But Paltrow told the times that three years earlier, when she starred in Weinstein's Jane Austen adaptation Emma, Weinstein put his hands on her and suggested massages during a meeting at a hotel. She refused and told her then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt, who confronted Weinstein and confirmed the account to the Times via a representative.
"I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified," Paltrow said. Weinstein threatened her not to tell anyone else. "I thought he was going to fire me," she said. "He screamed at me for a long time. It was brutal."
Former Miramax employees and aspiring actresses also publicly described harassment by Weinstein. Some of the women said he physically tried to block them as they escaped the encounters. Others recalled him bragging that this sort of behavior was normal and that other famous model and actresses had consented.

were isolated from kerosene treated Ilorin alfisol. The traditional method of identifying bacteria was complemented by using MicrobactTM ID 24E system for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and common miscellaneous Gramnegative bacilli (MGNB). The results show appreciable increase in optical densities and total viable counts contemporaneous with decrease in pH of the culture media. The most promising organisms in this study are Leclercia adecarboxylata, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Micrococcus luteus, Arthrobacter sp. and Streptococcus sp. The results obtained in this study showed that kerosene spillage posses a great threat to the survival and development of Zea mays. It also revealed that some bacteria survive and even thrive in kerosene contaminated soil and hence have the potential to be used in biodegradation and/or bioremediation of oil contaminated soils and water.

Q: How to set file's DateTimeOriginal from file name using ExifTool I have a directory with many image files that don't have their DateTimeOriginal metadata set, but do have this date in the file name itself in the format of YYYMMDD, e.g. 20120524_091536.mp4
I want to use exiftool to move these files into folders with the year and then sub-folders of the month (then later also set its DateTimeOriginal using this date from the filename).
Something like this:
exiftool -d "%Y-%m-%d" "-testname<D:\Pictures\${filename#;DateFmt('%Y')}\${filename#;DateFmt('%m')}\$FileName" "D:\Pictures\2012-05-24" -r

But this gives an Error converting date/time for 'filename' error. Which makes sense, how do I tell it to format only the first 8 digits of the filename to a date?
The reason I want to use ExifTool for this, is that I actually am going to further refine this statement to only do this for files that don't already have a datetimeoriginal metadata set, so exiftool can filter these out...something like this qualifier:
exiftool '-datetimeoriginal<filemodifydate' -if '(not $datetimeoriginal or ($datetimeoriginal eq "0000:00:00 00:00:00")) and ($filetype eq "JPEG")'

But instead of setting the datetimeoriginal to the filemodifydate, I need to set it to a date formatted from the filename.

A: To set DateTimeOriginal from the filename, the command is as simple as
exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal<Filename" -if "not $datetimeoriginal or ($datetimeoriginal eq '0000:00:00 00:00:00')" -ext jpg DIR
This is based upon Exiftool FAQ #5 which says "ExifTool is very flexible about the actual format of input date/time values when writing, and will attempt to reformat any values into the standard format unless the -n option is used. Any separators may be used (or in fact, none at all). The first 4 consecutive digits found in the value are interpreted as the year, then next 2 digits are the month, and so on."
I removed the $filetype eq "JPEG" portion of your example and replaced it with the -ext option as checking against Filetype is a poor way to limit the files processed, as exiftool will still process and extract all metadata from every file to perform the check.
Take note that the .mp4 filetype, as shown in your example, cannot hold the DateTimeOriginal tag.  Instead, you'll have to use something like CreateDate.  Also take note that exiftool has limited ability to write to video files.
Because the filename isn't a timestamp type tag, you can't use the -d (dateformat) option as you discovered.  Instead, you would have to use the Advanced formatting feature to split up the filename.  Given the first example filename, your command would be:
exiftool "-testname<D:\Pictures\${filename;s/^(\d{4}).*/$1/}\${filename;s/^\d{4}(\d\d).*/$1/}\%F" "D:\Pictures\2012-05-24" -r
The -d "%Y-%m-%d" part is removed as it wasn't used in your example.  ${filename;s/^(\d{4}).*/$1/} uses regex to match the first four digits of the filename and strip the rest.  ${filename;s/^\d{4}(\d\d).*/$1/} strips the first four digits, matches the next two, and strips the rest of the filename.  %F is an exiftool variable for the filename+ext used for the various exiftool file operations such as renaming and moving (but not available in tag processing).

Ukrainian separatist leader defends capture of 'Nato spies'
Igor Strelkov makes first public appearance in rebel-held Slavyansk to refuse release of EU hostages

An alleged Russian colonel commanding the separatist uprising in Ukraine broke cover yesterday, and said his militia in the eastern town of Slavyansk would not release a group of EU military observers kidnapped on Friday.
Igor Strelkov – whom Ukraine's intelligence service describes as a wanted terrorist – made his first public appearance in the rebels' de facto capital. In an interview with Russian channels, he described the captured military representatives as "Nato spies". Strelkov said there was little prospect of them being freed unless Kiev's pro-western government traded them for jailed pro-Russian activists.
Slavyansk's self-proclaimed mayor, Vyacheslav Ponomarev, repeated the spy claim later, adding that an investigation into the observers was going on and could be finished soon. They were being held in "good conditions", he said. The mayor alleged they had tried to pass themselves off as "sightseers" and were not wearing military uniforms. "If the observers had been honest with us, no problem," he claimed.
The EU nationals are now being held in Slavyansk's rebel-controlled security agency building, along with other hostages. The group was operating under the mandate of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). It includes four Germans, a Pole, a Dane, a Swede and a Czech officer. Also taken were five members of Ukraine's armed forces.
The pro-Russian militia is also holding Ukrainian journalists, local residents and the town's elected mayor, who is allowed visits from her family and hairdresser. Another Ukrainian reporter, Lviv-based Yury Lelyavsky, was seized on Friday. The Europeans now appear to be high-value bargaining chips as the west prepares for further confrontation with Moscow.
The G7 is expected to announce an expansion of the list of Russian individuals and companies subject to sanctions on Monday. They will include close friends of Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, as well as those allegedly involved in coordinating unrest across Ukraine. The US and EU accuse Moscow of failing to implement a deal agreed in Geneva under which illegal groups would end takeovers of official buildings and give up their weapons.
On Saturday a stand-off continued between armed pro-Russian militias in Slavyansk and the Ukrainian army down the road. Ukraine's national guard established a checkpoint 20km to the north of the rebel town, on the main highway to Kharkiv. "I love my country. I'm defending it against the fascists over there," said 23-year-old soldier Andrei, gesturing towards Slavyansk.
Officers made clear they had no orders to storm Slavyansk. Instead they said their role was to prevent weapons reaching the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic".
Andrei said he had arrived at the checkpoint that morning. "We are going to win," he declared cheerfully. "We're stronger." Another soldier, lying under a blossoming tree, chipped in: "We're going to win because we believe in God. He's on our side."
Despite the threat of war, the situation in Slavyansk was remarkably calm. Traffic, including scheduled buses, flowed in and out of town, waved through tyre checkpoints by militia volunteers. One militia checkpoint proclaimed "Stop Nato" and "Love, family and peace."
"The government in Kiev doesn't want to listen to us," said Volodya, a 49-year-old electrician. "They say they're the good guys and that we are bad guys and separatists." Volodya said that when he went to school in the Soviet Union in the 1980s he learned that Stepan Bandera – the Ukrainian nationalist leader during the second world war, venerated by the west of the country – was a fascist. He called Ponomarev a "hero on the barricades".
In a press conference yesterday Ponomarev insisted that the European military observers working under the auspices of Germany's foreign ministry were engaged in espionage. He has been the face of Slavyansk's militia for the past two weeks, giving daily afternoon press conferences and updates on his latest hostages, whom he refers to as "guests". But the emergence of Strelkov – a more sophisticated figure – suggests a tweak in rebel media strategy. Ukraine's SBU intelligence agency says Strelkov is the mastermind behind the uprising. It claims he ordered the kidnapping and murder of an outspoken city councillor, Vladimir Rybak, and a 19-year-old Kiev student. Their naked bodies were found near Slavyansk last week. They had been tortured and drowned.
In his first ever interview, with Moscow's Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, Strelkov admitted that the pro-Russia military unit in the town was put together in Crimea. He claimed there were locals too, as well as volunteers from other parts of Ukraine. All had military experience, and were veterans of wars in Yugoslavia, Iraq, and elsewhere, he said.
Meanwhile Denis Pushilin, the self-appointed governor of the "Donetsk People's Republic", said a referendum on the region's future would take place on 11 May. It would ask one question: "Do you support the act of the proclamation of the Donetsk People's Republic?" The leadership would then decide whether to be independent or become a constituent part of Russia, like Crimea.


Hello, my name is Kresha.
What do you need to know about me? Well, I'm the mom of three young children, the wife of a handsome organic farmer, an opera singer, a cloth diaper instructor, a writer, a foodie, and… I wear many hats.
I founded this site in 2011 because I am passionate about living life joyfully, contentedly, and purposefully – and ultimately, that means being nourished not only in body, but also in soul.
I also wanted to add my voice to the various "movements" that need as many participants and advocates as possible: raw milk and dairy, craft microbrewing, fresh local cooking, small-scale traditional farms, farmer's markets….
As I have learned more about the Real Food movement and other "alternative" ways of living over the last few years, I have devoured information and been increasingly incorporating them into our family's rhythms.
I want to inspire others as I have been inspired.
Lastly, let me wax eloquent for just one moment about one of my great loves – food. I love cooking, I love eating, I love drinking good wine, but mostly I love sharing good food. Food is not only sustaining, but food is a conversation in itself. When lingering around a table following a delicious meal – be it simple or lavish – the conversation is often as nourishing as the meal. When the food is not only thoughtfully prepared, but also thoughtfully grown and acquired, the poignancy (not to mention deliciousness) of that is rarely missed. Food gathers people together out of necessity, but it is the company and conversation that knit us together.
So I urge you, as you read the posts and recipes here, gather your friends and family together often to eat and drink, and in so doing, be nourished in body and soul.
N.B. I am not a medical doctor (despite dreaming about becoming one in university). All opinions and advice offered on this site are merely from a mother / woman / wife sharing her experiences drawn from her own research. Please consult your own naturopath or general practitioner as good standard practice. Do your own due diligence.
Lisewise, I am not a nutritionist nor a food scientist. Nutrition fascinates me and my mind craves good, intellectual discourse backed by thorough, evidence-based research ((University of Arizona)), but at the end of the day, when it comes to the nutritional info included in my posts, I'm just a mom sharing the pieces of information that have captured my attention in the hopes that they will capture and inspire you too.
