As Baltimore's premier non-profit ceramic art center, Baltimore Clayworks has been cultivating clay and community for over 35 years. Connected deeply with Baltimore city and community, we bring the most talented local, national, and international ceramic artists to our campus in Mt. Washington and to community sites across the region. We strive to provide high-quality ceramic arts instruction for the enjoyment and enrichment of all.
Baltimore Clayworks believes that all people have the right to participate in every aspect of creating with clay. Clayworks Community Arts is committed to the philosophy of inclusion and is dedicated to promoting community participation of children, adults, senior adults, and people with disabilities.
This past August 2018 Baltimore Clayworks was awarded a Baltimore Children and Youth Fund grant to pilot a program in workforce development with the Baltimore City Public Schools Department of Transition Services. Students in this program have disabilities and are 18-21 years old. They come to Clayworks' campus for three ten week sessions, three times per week, with their teacher and paraprofessional. The clay class is designed for both artistic expression and workforce development and will eventually incorporate 3D printing. The class will introduce many concepts and opportunities to learn career preparation, self-expression/self-advocacy and career exploration. A culminating exhibition will be planned and executed by the teacher and the students.
Also inaugurating this year is the ABILITIES Fellowship for a Resident Artist who will work with people with disabilities. Our Fellow this year is Hannah Pierce. She is working at Make Studio, Hussman Center of Towson University, and the Brighter Stronger Foundation.
Mike Alewitz with six sites in Worcester, Somerset, Harford, and Baltimore Counties and Baltimore City.
Baltimore Clayworks remains firmly committed to a robust community arts program. As part of the upcoming inclusive strategic planning process, Baltimore Clayworks' Board and Staff will invite community members to participate in the co-visioning, rebuilding, and fundraising of an excellent Community Arts program for the future.
While we are working to ensure a sustainable future of our organization for generations to come, Baltimore Clayworks maintains its commitment to the communities we serve throughout Baltimore City and in the region. We are currently offering fiscal sponsorship to community clay artists, whose mission aligns with Baltimore Clayworks'.
If you are a community group interested in hosting clay programming at your location, please contact Ana Maria Economou, Community Arts Coordinator, at anamaria.economou@baltimoreclayworks.org.

The oligarchs won't give you peace
George Soros and Charles Koch have announced "a new foreign-policy think tank" - the Quincy Institute - that "will promote an approach to the world based on diplomacy and restraint rather than threats, sanctions, and bombing." What can we actually expect?
First, consider Charles Koch. On one hand, the Kochs have long promoted themselves as antiwar libertarians - literally:
The Koch Institute's foreign policy page is very clear that while it supports a strong military, it's opposed to the sort of interventionist adventures associated that have defined our activities in the Middle East for years now...Disclosure: David Koch sits on the Board of Trustees for the Reason Foundation, which publishes this site.
But on the other hand, as Yasha Levine noted in The Exiled, "the Kochs have milked the U.S. war machine for about $170 million, all while funding libertarian groups, organizations and media outfits with anti-war positions." And that was eight years ago; god only knows how much they've made on the same "forever wars" that they are now decrying.
Soros is a more complicated figure. Like the Kochs, he has often promoted himself as a critic of US military interventions, particularly in books like The Age of Fallibility and The Bubble of American Supremacy. But Soros is far from a principled pacifist: in the name of democracy, Soros has also supported various military interventions over the years, most recently suggesting that both Europe and the United States should arm Ukraine against Russia.
More often, however, Soros has preferred to fund a "battle of ideas" - which has meant, in practice, funding NGOs, academics, media outlets, and other groups that oppose various political rivals. Consequentially, Soros funded groups have been implicated in instability and revolutions all over the world - particularly in former Soviet states, which have often tried to legislate his organizations out of the country.
Despite their conflicting conflicting partisan alignments, then, I think that Soros and Charles Koch share plenty of political ground:
Shared opposition to much of our foreign policy in the Middle East: they consider Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and so on to be "bad wars," as opposed to other "good wars" that they have historically supported.
Shared concern about our foreign policy with China. Soros and the Kochs have criticized the Trump administration's trade war with China; both share a radical commitment to market liberalization, which both have openly characterized as an antidote to socialism. (In April 2018, for example, Charles Koch characterized Trump's tariffs as "a cancer on society" and "a contributing factor to so many young people being socialists".)
Shared commitment to aggressive private-sector activism. This of course is why they are famous in the first place: both are obscenely wealthy capitalists who have actively and openly used their riches to advance their political agendas. And both have a positively Randian view of their democratic responsibilities as capitalists - that's why the Kochs have no problem reconciling their antiwar posturing with their ongoing war profiteering. Even Soros, supposedly the more "progressive" of the two, infamously responded to questions about his role in the late-nineties Asian financial crisis by insisting "I'm engaged in an amoral activity which is not meant to have anything to do with guilt."
What seems likely to me, then, is a foreign policy two-step which de-escalates hot wars in the Middle East and trade wars with China while escalating private sector activism in the latter. Soros for example has been particularly concerned with the role that Chinese telecoms could play in domestic and international surveillance, and has argued that "Instead of letting ZTE and Huawei off lightly, [the US] needs to crack down on them." How that call translates into policy remains unclear.
It's also unclear what role the left will play in all of this. In the Sanders era, left-flank foreign policy is often articulated as a general "fight against the oligarchs," often including sanctions against "the international oligarchy as the connecting link between domestic economics and foreign policy." Will Koch-funded scholars be permitted to argue that Big Government should "pick winners and losers" with, say, sanctions targeting ZTE and Heawei? Will left scholars be willing to risk their Koch-and-Soros-funded grants and find out? And as the Quincy hype machine begins scheduling its Koch-and-Soros-approved antiwar fellows, will radical critics from outside the Institute be able to get a hearing?
It is with more than a hint of despair that the US left has taken to calling our attacks on other countries "forever wars" - so it would be absurd to regret that now, at long last, these particular wars could be coming to an end. But with Charles Koch and George Soros at the helm, we are unlikely to see a lasting peace. Even if both maintain their posture of restraint, both have histories of private sector activism that have managed to destabilize countries all over the world - including, one can argue, the United States. Expect that to continue even if they manage to displace the infamous beltway blog. And if they manage to capture what remains of America's antiwar left...well, that could cause some instability too.
Libertarians always try to co-opt the left. Why ha...

Begging is harmless. Why can't the City leave beggars alone?
Most people give because they believe beggars are homeless. Police intelligence from Fremantle and greater Perth, shows that those that beg are not always homeless and falsely claim they are to receive money for other uses.
These people are known as opportunistic beggars and often operate as part of a larger group that also detract donations from genuine beggars.
The City wants to help those in need to get off the streets and take the steps to create a better life in the long term.
Day-to-day donations only provide a short term solution and most beggars do not have the ability to save their money in a safe place so must spend what they receive. Giving money to collection boxes that gives to a service helps the support centre to provide more ongoing assistance to more people in need.
Why is the City implying that all beggars are drug users and alcoholics?
The City has never suggested that all people begging in Fremantle are drug or alcohol abusers but the evidence shows that the majority of people begging in Fremantle do spend their money on drugs or alcohol. When individuals' addictions are supported by begging, their addictions can prevent them from engaging with services provided by the likes of St. Patrick's.
We are hopeful that by diverting funds away from begging - both opportunistic and from genuine beggars, that they will be more likely and willing to access the support that they need in the long term.
I don't like to give money. Surely donating food to beggars is ok?
Giving food is a short term solution. To help people get off the streets, we need to address the dependency of beggars on handouts of any kind including food. Free meals are available every day in Fremantle to people who are begging for food, so there is no need to beg for it.
Isn't the City just wasting money on collection boxes and a campaign that could have been given directly to service providers?
Until the incentive to beg is removed, no amount of money the City gives to service providers will make a difference to the number of beggars on our streets. The collection boxes are located in known begging hotspots and will allow visitors who see a beggar and want to help, to act immediately and donate their money without doubt to the collection box.
We all want to see money going to the people who really need it - especially those who beg because they are genuinely homeless, so by reducing the income beggars receive, they will be more inclined to seek help from services and break the cycle.
What is the City contributing?
The City is providing the collection points that have been manufactured locally and will collect money on behalf of St Patrick's. We will also be matching all public donations dollar-for-dollar.
Why hasn't the City done something about this earlier?
This is a very difficult and complex issue. It's something that most cities around the world experience and all have difficulty in knowing what to do and how to do it.
Additionally, just because a program is successful in one city does not guarantee success in another so the City of Fremantle has developed this initiative to suit the needs of Fremantle and its community. Fremantle Council sees it as an important issue and is brave enough to try to tackle it in a sustainable way that is sensitive to the issue.
What do the collection points look like?

- What really changes now compared with the first round? Is it the intensity/complexity of the cases, is it more invoved PEI, etc.?
- Will the notes from my previous performances be shared with my interviewers for final round? In other words, will they try to test me on the specific feedback points that I received to see if I'm showing improvement on those points?
- Any other tips to keep in mind, outside of PEI and Cases?
The cases tend to change a little bit in the sense that they become a little less structured. Principals and partners interviewing for the last round have often more experience in interviewing that EMs / managers during the first round, so they stick a little bit less to a scripted case. The cases can also become a little more conversational. I don't think this changes the preparation all that much, but you have to get comfortable to receive cases that are a little less conventional. I got one case in the last round at McKinsey that was "Where do you expect health care in Europe to be 10 to 20 years from now". So it become more a conversation than a case. Now this might not apply to you, but the message is be a little bit more expecting of the unexpected. (ps. This doesn't require practical knowledge of an industry or special preparation… They still evaluate your thinking process / answer structure / … more than the actual content). Actually, the case and fit blend a bit more together into one hybrid.
- Will the notes from my previous performances be shared with my interviewers for final round?
Often you receive a call of one of the first round interviewers with a summary of the feedback that came out of the first round interviews. If this doesn't come through, don't hesitate to contact HR or of the interviewers with a polite email requested feedback for preparing your decisive round. It also shows investment in the process and a willingness to improve!
- In other words, will they try to test me on the specific feedback points that I received to see if I'm showing improvement on those points?
The answer is – as often in consulting – " it depends". If there was a particular soft spot(s) during the first round interview and you receive explicit feedback on it (e.g. weak maths, structure, etc.) there might be some more focus on this. If they look for confirmation on a point of doubt, they will pay attention. Alternatively, if the interviews were generally strong, and there were no obvious weaknesses, the interviews will be a bit more balanced and nothing in particular will be tested.
What I think is important to keep in mind is that – in the last round – the interviewers already know that you're likely a strong case performer and generally a clever person (otherwise you wouldn't have gotten through the earlier stages of the recruitment process). So this point of view is yours to lose, in the sense that the default is that they expect strong case performance already. However, to get all the way to a final offer, it becomes more about the assessment of fit within the culture of the company, being generally a professional with client-facing skills, etc. So my advice would be to act like a consultant already, like a professional who is at a problem-solving session with another professional (the interviewer). Don't approach it like a student-professor exam-situation, where there is always the imbalance between how's the grown-up and who's the youngster (figure of speech). So act like you would in that job, with some confidence (watch out: don't become arrogant!! Big red flag) and a certain gravitas. The more your interview looks like a nice and balanced conversation between two colleagues, the better the odds are to take it all the way!
A lot of things change from the first round to the second round.
1) First round interviewers are Senior Associates and Engagement Managers that have been through interview training and they are more focused on the mechanics of the case. They are hyper focused on things like structure. In the final round, you are meeting with Associate Partners, Partners and Senior Partners and many haven't had interview training. So, the interviews can't be quite different.
2) There's a lot of focus on fit ("Why McKinsey"). You have to remember that these Partners and especially Senior Partners have been at the firm for a long time and it is a special place for them. They want to know why you want to join there special place. You have to be VERY specific and not say things like "great brand", "good people", "good diversity".
3) Your PEI stories are also weighted more heavily and are often talked about disproportionately in the final round decision meeting. Be sure to bring out your best, inteject some personal stories and don't repeat any PEI stories.
4) The first round is more formal and the final round is much more personable. Try to make a personal connection any way you can.
It may seem to you that these 2 types of cases are different, however, the interviewer-led type is just a simplified version of the interviewee-led case. My advice is to always prepare in the interviewee-led format so that you could solve both easily.


When traveling on the open sea, one does not like to hear that they are approaching "the perfect storm". There are however those rare exceptions. North Cyprus, located in the Mediterranean Sea, part of the European continent and just a ferry boat ride from Asia is one perfect storm I was glad to be advised of during a day cruise off the Turkish coast.
It is now my permanent residence, new home, and true love.
I only discovered North Cyprus after taking the aforementioned cruise ship, even though I had been to southern Cyprus before. A British tour boat guide from the southern part of the island had took us to near the North Cyprus-controlled town on Famagusta and said it was now a ghost-town. He added that we shouldn't try to visit it because it was now occupied by Turkish forces. This turned out to be no more true than a ghost story. You will hear some tall tales about North Cyprus but make sure you do your own thorough investigation of whatever you hear. I believed the tour guide at his stern word and didn't visit North Cyprus for the first time until five years later. Five years I could have been living in North Cyprus. Believe me if I ever see that tour guide again, well, let's just say the beer is not on me.
North Cyprus is only recognized by Turkey. It constitutes the northern portion of the island of Cyprus and has been in existence since 1974 when Turkish Cypriots felt they were being pushed out of the co-sharing government promised as part of the terms of the British pull-out. Unable to stop the sometimes violent persecution against them, Turkish Cypriots retreated with the help of military intervention to the north part of the island where the majority of their people have historically lived. As you can imagine, there are hurt feelings on both sides of the island and they are beyond the scope of this article.
south is known for having.
Golfers will love North Cyprus' perfect weather.
North Cyprus enjoys a year-round median temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit.
There are over 300 days of sunshine per year, leaving just enough days of precipitation to provide for a vivid spring landscape and lush overall environment. Winters are mild and short with temperatures averaging in the low to mid 60's while summers, which last through November average in the 80s. Spring comes early with wildflowers in bloom by late February.
There are no hurricanes, monsoons, earthquakes, tornadoes or any other severe weather events to worry about.
Unlike other islands there is no time of the year that is a bad time to visit, and the weather varies just enough so that you never become bored from the one season effect.
Water temperatures average in the 70's year-round making swimming feasible in all except the coldest months of winter when the outside temperature might make a dip in the jacuzzi sound more tempting then a swim.
gigantic swimming pool. The calm waters also make for perfect sailing.
Water like this can easily create a passion for all things that have to do with the water – including swimming, sailing, and fishing.
I was never big into swimming until I came to North Cyprus. Now, you can't get me out of the water. The warm, azure water of the Mediterranean here will lure you in and if you are like me, make itself your second home.
Just beware, that like in the rest of Cyprus, people drive on the "wrong side" of those first class roads and if you are not used to that, it can take some getting used to at first.
There are ferry boats to take you the 40 some miles to the Turkish coast and crossing the border to southern Cyprus is little more complicated than using a toll booth (although there is no charge to cross the border). From southern Cyprus you can also arrive in Israel or Egypt via cruise boat.
North Cyprus has an international airport, although many use Larnaca airport or Nicosia airport in the south and a regular shuttle service to arrive in North Cyprus. This makes the island anything but remote as you can easily get about to anyone in the world here.
You won't be relinquishing any of the comfort of first world living by coming to North Cyprus. In fact, you may at times find it more developed than back home.
While it is always advisable to learn some words in the local language, North Cyprus uses English a de-facto second language. Nearly all signs, including street signs, are in Turkish and English. If only one language is used, it is generally English. Movies are shown in English. English-language schools abound. As a former British colony, use and knowledge of English is widespread. English is the official language of business as well. You don't have to ask people here first "do you speak English?" It is taken for granted that they do. That being said, you may find some people, especially in more remote areas that do not speak English.
I don't feel at all like a gringo here. The island is exotic but there is not the cultural and language gap here as in many other island destinations.
that you have sufficient funds to not become a burden to the island. If you can pass that test, then you can obtain a yearly residence permit for North Cyprus that can become permanent after 5 years.
It is estimated some 50,000 British citizens alone have already taken them up on this offer.
it the title of "paradise", is that it is one of the last places in the world and certainly amongst first-world islands or European countries where the average person can afford a good lifestyle without having to have come into a huge windfall of money or have a great job secured.
Just how affordable is life in North Cyprus? You can rent a seaside villa for under $900 a month and a 2 bedroom apartment in a resort style complex for under $450. You can buy a penthouse apartment for $70,000 or a 4 bedroom villa with underground pool for under $150,000. You won't come close to these prices in the south and you will be hard pressed to find the same size and luxuries in homes as in the North anyway.
It should be noted that North Cyprus is one of the few places in Europe where property prices are going up. They've already risen 10% from this time last year. In addition to the seaside real estate, North Cyprus also provides golf homes on world class golf courses.
As far as other living costs are concerned, you won't pay the normal island markup. Fresh fruits and vegetables are grown locally as well as brought over from Turkey. Turkish factories where many popular clothing lines are designed bring their goods to North Cyprus selling at prices below what they charge to wholesalers. Eating out at a taverna and enjoying a number of local meze and a bottle of wine won't cost much more than a run to your local McDonalds. You may even get a show at no extra cost.
Really the question isn't if you should move to Paradise (North Cyprus), the question is rather, where in North Cyprus?
One place to consider is the village of Karaman. Karaman was leased by the government to private members of the international community from Europe and North America starting in 1979. One British expat described the feel in Karaman as that of a " British hamlet in the 1950s." It is indeed entirely international and laid back in feel while uniquely North Cypriot in presentation. There are a number of quaint shops, an Angelican church and a restaurant called "Levant" run by a Canadian couple. Levant is a great place to celebrate the holiday season starting with American Thanksgiving all the way through New Year's, eggnog and all. Here the expat community is close knit and devoted to creating a sense of true community with locals and other foreigners alike.
Karaman is in the mountain foothills and a bit of a drive from the beach, but a great place to unwind and enjoy a cool breeze. If a small town European feel away from the noise and clutter — and heat — is what you are looking for, Karaman might be right for you.
Somewhere in the Bible, Cyprus is referred to as "the place that has it all and lacks nothing." That is my definition of paradise and I've recognized it here in amazing North Cyprus. I might suggest that if it sounds like paradise to you as well to act quickly before the rest of the world recognizes it too.
yes, pay for his boat slip he directs four annual inspection trips on the island. If you are interested in finding out more about one of these trips or North Cyprus in general contact him at gpsdc100@gmail.com.
The Greeks were driven out of their ancestral land not because they were "violently persecuting" Turks, as Turkish propaganda will have you believe, but to follow-through with long-held plans to seize what they saw as strategically important land.
Your email doesn't seem to work!?
Do you receive a passport after 5 years?
How is the medical care there?
No you will not receive a Passport after 5 years.
Not a bad write up but very one sided but one must have in mind written by some one who want's to sell property in the North. I have lived there since 2001 and to my knowledge there has never been 50,000 Brit's living there and as at now the housing market is "flat" and prices have gone down in the last 2 years !
the rain just runs into the sea. Sorry my friend but to sell you should state the true facts because more Brits have been leaving in the last 2/3 years than ever before and there is more for sale than ever.
if it sounds or looks to good to be true it usually is.
and as i have heard many times in my life, "don't beleive everything you read, and less of what you hear".
are the local women friendly there?
North Cyprus is an artificial creature made up by promoted by Turkey civil war and recognized by Turkey only. Since referendum in Sept 2011 Islamist PM Erdogan turned Turkey into Islamist state that inevitably joins the forces of juhad. Turkey already took part in jihad against the West when Erdogan sent the provocative "flotilla" to Gaza terrorists. At some point Turkey will totally turn against the West.
Do you want to find yourself in the middle of another jihad war zone ? Jihad of Islam, based on genocidal Sharia laws, is going on non-stop for the last 1,400 years, and the clash of anti-civilization and civilizations will end only when one of the sides wins. Whether the Shariah takes over the world bringing medieval dark ages or other civilizations unite, stop and ban the Shariah laws to force the Muslims to purge Shariah laws from Islam in order to make Islam compatible with other civilizations.
The thing to remember is that with all those villas and apartments for sale, all looking wonderful looking out over the sea or a pool, there are some questions to ask.
When do owners get permission to purchase and title to their apartment?
Are water bills properly acounted for with dates and water usage identified?
Are apartments ever rented out by management without owners knowing?
Do people get bills for electricity consumption when they are not there?
Do things go missing from apartments?
Are 'maintenance Fees' accounted for by developers to those (buying apartments) who pay the fees?
The risk is that you pay out for an apartment and find that you dont actualy own it, or that there is a mortgage on it from the developer. Then there are loads of other strange things which everyone in North Cyprus just seems to find normal.
Due diligence before you buy.
As the author of this piece, I'd like to respond to a few comments and thank everyone for their feedback on this article.
Yes, my article is overwhelmingly positive about North Cyprus and that is because I find it overwhelmingly positive. You will have no problem finding negative , one-sided articles about North Cyprus on the internet. Therefore I feel no need to present those peoples point of view in my article. I believe that North Cyprus deserves to have positive articles about it as does every country on earth.
Historically, there is no doubt that the Greeks were trying to squeeze the Turks out of the government and subjected Turkish people to lots of types of persecution.
The Turkish people stood up for themselves. They are Muslims, Europe is Christian and Greece is historically considered European unlike Turkey which lies partially in Europe and so Europe went along with Greece.
Europe's interests were related to..big surprise…money and power.
If you feel like the Turkish people didn't have a right to stand up for themselves and should have accepted the persecution, please share with us how you were likewise subject to this type of persecution and turned the other cheek.
I like Greece. I am not Muslim. Objectively, MORALLY, Turkey is right in this case.
Land title issues, etc. have been resolved in a mutual agreement between the North and the South.
As in any country including the Republic of Cyprus always do due dilligence before buying. Buyer beware.
As far as living in Greek Cyprus — will be more expensive and the quality of build is MUCH much poorer there then in the Turkish part. Incomparable.
Problems with lack of water have occurred much more in Greek Cyprus then Turkish Cyprus.
The economy in North Cyprus because of casinos has caused the country to progress while Greek Cyprus digresses due to Greek debt crisis.
Not familiar with any flooding in early months of year. Well over 300 days a year are sunny.
Isolated problems may well exist. I can tell you about hurricanes in Florida. Tornadoes in Kansas.
North Cyprus may also have some weather incidents but very mild compared to those places.

Jacksonville's City Council will have one less standing committee and some new faces in leadership jobs under assignments handed down Monday by President-designate Stephen Joost.
Joost merged two committees to create the Recreation, Community Development and Public Health and Safety Committee, a board to handle issues ranging from public housing to property tax exemptions, children's services, police issues and the zoo.
The merger retires a largely inactive public safety panel whose meetings often lasted just a few minutes.
Former Atlantic Beach Mayor Bill Gulliford will become the new committee's chairman when he's sworn in as a council member July 1.
"I look at that as an honor," Gulliford said about heading the committee. "It covers so much of the scope of what the city does."
Newcomers Lori Boyer, Doyle Carter, Kimberly Daniels, Robin Lumb and Matt Schellenberg are also on Gulliford's committee.
Another new member, EverBank executive Greg Anderson, was tapped to chair the Transportation, Energy and Utilities Committee.
The other standing committee chairmanships are going to Richard Clark (Finance), Bill Bishop (Rules) and Reggie Brown (Land Use and Zoning).
Joost named Johnny Gaffney to chair a special committee on reapportionment, whose work redrawing district lines is scheduled to be completed late this year.

The issue of offshore drilling — and the harm it could do to the coastal environment — is important to South Carolina, where tourism is one of the largest industries. Many coastal communities fear the drilling that could follow seismic testing could result in oil spills, driving away vacationers and harming businesses.
Seismic testing also is a concern because its unceasing booming noises could kill thousands of dolphins, whales and fish, according to the lawsuit. Seismic testing to locate oil deposits involves using airguns to blast acoustic pulses at the ocean floor — every 10 seconds, 24 hours a day — for months at a time, Wilson's suit says.
The testing would "irreparably harm marine life, in large numbers and with a large impact," hurting S.C. communities and businesses that rely on marine life "for their economic livelihoods," Wilson wrote.
For months, Gov. McMaster has pleaded with the Trump administration to exempt South Carolina from drilling. However, only Florida has been exempted. Critics charge that move was made to help then-Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, in his successful campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Several S.C. lawmakers also have filed proposals in the General Assembly to block or impede offshore drilling.
"The governor supports the attorney general taking any and all action necessary to ensure that we will never see any seismic testing or drilling off the South Carolina coast," McMaster spokesman Brian Symmes told The State. "The governor will continue to utilize the open line of communication he has with the (Trump) administration. He has also spoken with members of the General Assembly and expressed his support for any legislative action that may be used to remedy the situation."
In November, Democrat Joe Cunningham's surprise victory in South Carolina's 1st District illustrated just how alarmed the public has become by the specter of offshore drilling. The 1st District includes coastal communities from Charleston to Hilton Head. Cunningham's opposition to drilling was a decisive factor in that district electing a Democrat to the U.S. House for the first time in 40 years.
"(O)pposition to offshore drilling has bipartisan consensus," Cunningham said in a statement, "and I support the attorney general's efforts to protect our vibrant natural resources, environment and economy from the devastating effects of oil and gas exploration."
Last January, the Trump administration said it would allow new oil and gas drilling in nearly all U.S. waters, reversing a drilling ban imposed by former Democratic President Barack Obama. Trump said the drilling ban quashed "potentially thousands and thousands of jobs."
In November, federal regulators gave companies the go-ahead to apply for five permits to conduct seismic testing in the Atlantic. The consolidated lawsuit seeks to stop that process.
A judge must approve Wilson's attempt to intervene in the existing lawsuit.
But Wilson's entry into the case was praised by the Southern Environmental Law Center, representing environmental groups that are fighting testing.
"It says to President Trump what we've been saying all along,'' said Catherine Wannamaker, an attorney with the Charleston law center. "He's not listening to the people and the officials, even in his own party, who do not want this off of South Carolina.''
Amy Armstrong, a Pawleys Island attorney handling the suit on behalf of 16 S.C. cities, said Wilson's entry will help efforts to stop seismic testing, showing it is a nonpartisan issue.
"This state joining in ... sends the message that we don't want this in South Carolina,'' said Armstrong, director of the non-profit S.C. Environmental Law Project.
Most S.C. coastal cities, excluding Myrtle Beach, are part of Armstrong's case.
"The federal government acknowledges that there are going to be over 300,000 individual marine mammals that will be harmed or harassed by'' seismic testing, she said. "They're hurting whales, dolphins, sea turtles and other marine species."

Objective. The purpose of this pilot study was to gather preliminary data on father–infant dyads using the Nursing Child Assessment Satellite Training (NCAST) Teaching scale, a parent–infant interaction measure, to determine whether and how fathers score differently than mothers from normative samples.
Method. Interactions between first-time fathers (N = 15) and their infants, 3 months to 6 months of age, during the instruction of an unfamiliar play activity were rated using the NCAST Teaching scale. Scores were compared both with a normative database (N = 2,123) of mother–infant dyads and with a subsample (n = 34) of the normative database to control for demographic variables, including the age, gender, and birth parity of the child and the age, education, marital status, and ethnicity of the parent.
Results. The fathers scored significantly lower on items related to fostering the infants' cognitive growth than the mothers in the normative database. However, the infants in this study provided clearer behavioral cues and were more responsive to their fathers than the infants in the normative sample. These findings were also true for the subsample comparison. The fathers also scored significantly lower than the normative subsample on items measuring their ability to foster the social and emotional growth of their infants.
Conclusion. There may be important differences in the interactions of father–infant dyads compared with mother–infant dyads, but further research with a larger, more representative sample of fathers on this parent–infant interaction measure is warranted to support this. The development of normative scores for fathers and their infants is recommended to accurately interpret father–infant interactions when administering the NCAST Teaching scale.


U.S. Rep. Eliot Engel addressed students from all over the country last week as part of the 2019 Global Engagement Summit held at the United Nations.
The summit is the largest gathering of U.S. supporters in the United States, bringing together more than 1,500 college students and other United Nations Association of the United States leaders to explore the vital mission and work of the United Nations.
Engel's speech addressed the role the United States and United Nations play in addressing global challenges, with a particular focus on ending the crisis in Yemen.
Following the event, Engel met with U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres to discuss a host of international issues, according to his aides, including the critical need to address climate change.
How long has it been since the state senate has held public hearings on sexual harassment? Bill Clinton was just being sworn in as the 42nd President of the United States, the first nicotine patch was introduced to the commercial market, and Alessandra Biaggi was just starting the first grade.
Now a state senator, Biaggi chaired the first joint public legislative sexual harassment in the workplace hearing in 27 years just before Valentine's Day a couple weeks ago.
The 11-hour meeting included testimony from experts and survivors.
Biaggi's predecessor, Jeff Klein, was accused of harassing a staffer, which he has denied.

When you are writing a research paper you need to draft the outline. This should happen after you have conducted thorough research but before you sit down to write your first draft. The purpose of the outline is to gather your thoughts and put them down on paper in a cohesive manner. Your outline will show you any flaws in your logic or arguments which lack proper support. It is a chance for you to lay out the structure of your paper and to verify that you have included all of the points and topics required of you and that you have supporting evidence from high quality sources for every argument you make.
Beneath those parts you might include a fragmented sentence or bullet point describing what you will write about in that section and what evidence you will include to support each argument. Some students prefer to use bullet points or fragmented yet connected thoughts while other students prefer to use full sentences beneath each subheading. The choice is up to you as the writer of course.

Trump's Self-Fulfilling 'American Carnage'
January 14, 2021 ~ Michael Stevenson
Almost exactly a year ago, Rep. Adam Schiff warned senators that Trump could do "a lot of damage" if he wasn't impeached. Here we are.
BY HEATHER COX RICHARDSON | JANUARY 14, 2021
At 4:22 this afternoon, the House of Representatives passed the number of votes necessary to impeach Trump. In the end, 232 Representatives —222 Democrats and 10 Republicans — agreed that the president had incited an insurrection and must be removed from office. But 197 Republicans disagreed.
And so, Donald Trump makes the history books as the first president of the United States of America to be impeached twice.
This is an indictment of him, of course, but also of the Republican Party that let him off the hook a year ago for undermining the national security of the United States as he tried to steal the 2020 election. Shortly before the Senate vote on conviction almost exactly a year ago, House impeachment manager Adam Schiff (D-CA) charged his Republican colleagues to look to the future, telling them, "you know you can't trust this President to do what's right for this country. You can trust he will do what's right for Donald Trump. He'll do it now. He's done it before. He'll do it for the next several months. He'll do it in the election if he's allowed to."
But every Republican senator other than Mitt Romney (R-UT) voted to acquit the president of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. And now, here we are.
A week ago, our Capitol was overrun by insurgents seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and install Trump in the White House for at least another term. In their fury, they murdered a Capitol Police officer and came within a hair's breadth of getting their hands on our elected officials.
The insurgents were answering the call of their president, who urged them to fight for him and claim a victory he insisted, without evidence, had been stolen from him. As they stormed the Capitol and aid did not come for the besieged lawmakers, Trump watched events unfold on the television, pleased… and, as people have begun to note, curiously unsurprised.
In the week since the attack, emerging information indicates the insurgency was planned, not spontaneous, and that lawmakers might be involved. Democrats have stood up to this attack on our democracy, but Republicans are in the same bind they've been in for years: how can they both keep Trump's voters and reject Trump himself? Some establishment Republicans who have their own bases of power — Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Romney, for example — have finally said enough is enough, and have come out against the president.
But Republican lawmakers whose only base is Trump supporters have downplayed the attack that killed five people, including a police officer, and wounded many others; defended Trump; and argued that any attempt to remove him is simply a dangerous Democratic effort to create divisions in society. They warn that holding Trump accountable will anger his supporters even more, an observation that many interpret as a threat.
This Republican split showed up today. Liz Cheney (R-WY), chair of the House Republican Conference, blamed the president for the attack on the Capitol and voted to impeach him. But only nine other Republicans joined her. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tried to split the baby by blaming the president for the attack on the Capitol but voting against impeachment. Trump loyalists like Jim Jordan (R-OH), who just received the Medal of Freedom from Trump, continued to allege that the election was tainted. They supported Trump wholeheartedly and attacked the Democrats. Refusing to acknowledge that their attacks on the election created the crisis in the first place, they called for unity and blamed the Democrats for dividing America.
One hundred and ninety-seven Republicans voted against impeaching the president. A year ago, Schiff infuriated Republicans by repeating a rumor published by CBS News that White House officials had warned party members: "Vote against the president and your head will be on a pike." Today, rumors swirled that a number of Republicans did not dare to vote in favor of impeachment because they feared for their safety and that of their loved ones.
While the House debated impeachment, the FBI continued to hunt down the insurgents, companies withdrew support from Republicans who supported the attacks on the election, and New York City canceled $17 million worth of contracts with the Trump administration.
The article of impeachment now goes to the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suggested yesterday that he supported impeachment, but today said he would not change the Senate's schedule to permit a trial before January 19. McConnell was likely pushing impeachment to pressure Trump to resign but, having failed, will do the bare minimum to guide the Republican Party past this moment. He needs to bend just enough to loosen up the purse strings of the companies who are saying they won't continue to support Republicans who attacked our elections and launched a coup.
In the next week, Trump Republicans might be able to convince Americans that holding Republican insurrectionists responsible for their actions is Democratic overreaction. In that case, the Republicans can avoid taking a stand either for or against Trump while they turn this moment into a referendum on the Democrats just as they take power in the national government. They are running this play headlong, complaining bitterly, for example, about the new metal detectors installed at the entrance to the House chamber — even as National Guard personnel patrolled the Capitol to protect — and complaining about "censorship" to television cameras after Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube removed QAnon accounts and Trump's accounts.
It could also be that, as more information comes out, the story will get even worse, and it will be easier for senators to vote to convict, especially once Trump is out of office. Yesterday's briefings by the FBI and acting US Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin gave notice that the evolving story of what happened on January 6 will be shocking and could well involve figures in government. More than 30 House Democrats have called attention to an unusual number of Capitol tours held on January 5, at a time when coronavirus restrictions have largely ended tours. Those tours, combined with the fact that the insurrectionists appeared to have a detailed knowledge of the Capitol complex, have led to suspicions that some members of Congress might have offered aid to the rioters.
A sign that there is something big still hanging out there came tonight in the form of a taped video by Trump himself, emphasizing that he disavowed violence and defending the right to free speech protected in the First Amendment to the Constitution. It sounded like a charge and a defense. To release such a video means he must be worried indeed about his legal exposure.
Another sign is that virtually no one in the White House tried to defend Trump from today's impeachment. There were no talking points, no briefings, no interviews, no calls to lawmakers. Even White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, who defended the president at his first impeachment last year, wanted people to know he was not defending him this time.
Furious and isolated, Trump is lashing out at those he blamed for getting him into this mess. He has told aides that he wants personally to approve any expenses his lawyer Rudy Giuliani ran up as he traveled around the country to challenge election results, and he has told them not to pay Giuliani's legal fees.
Trump had largely given up governing after the election anyway, but now our government seems to be operating haphazardly. Today, Israeli warplanes hit Iranian and Iranian-backed militia positions in Syria. Israeli forces are often active in this area, but this was the hardest attack in years, hitting missiles recently brought to the area and killing around 40 people. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted Trump to pressure Iran before he left office, and this strike seems intended to demonstrate a US-Israeli partnership against Iran. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Yossi Cohen, the head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, made this message obvious by being seen together Monday at Café Milano in Washington, D.C., a restaurant the Washington Post described as "Washington's ultimate place to see and be seen."
Also yesterday, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced new coronavirus vaccine schedule guidelines, as the US reported 4,327 deaths from Covid-19. In the first 13 days of 2021, we have seen more than 3 million new infections. More than 23 million Americans have been infected so far.
Almost exactly a year ago, on January 23, 2020, Adam Schiff urged Senate Republicans to convict Trump for abusing his power and obstructing Congress, and to remove him from office. "Now," he said, "you may be asking how much damage can he really do in the next several months until the election?
"A lot," Schiff said. "A lot of damage."

Contemporary style with lots of colour options.
Many types of materials are used in furniture, both on the inside and out. Take a look around your home and this will be quickly aparent. A plywood table, depending on design, exposes and takes advantage of the beautiful laminated structure. Each layer of real wood can be seen at the edge, alternating dark and light shades. The real beauty lies is the inherent strength of this material.
A plywood table can be completely made from the same material throughout or used only for the top or the base.
This alternative to solid wood can be used for dining, desks and other applications.
Clear lacquered plywood can be used alone for a table top or other materials can be used as the surface. When clear lacquered the natural beauty of the wooden surface can be seen. When a different surface is desired we can offer an excting range of high pressure laminates (eg Formica) as well as zinc, copper and brass.
This is most prevelant in our ranges and has the most "refined" edge detail. Each layer appears quite thin and consistent, usually with contrasting alternate stripes.
We also sometimes use this as it can have a more characterful, slightly rustic appearance. It can look good when used in industrial style furniture as an alternative to solid wood. Equally it can contrast beautifully with pure surfaces such as Formica. Please see our Grafik Cuboid Plywood Coffee Table. Each layer tends to be thicker than in the type above, with some having a slight mahogany hue.
The corner shown here on has a double thick top. This is made up of 2 sheets of 18mm board to give 36mm deep of laminations on show. The surface of white HPL adds a further approximately 1mm of height.
As hinted above the effect is quite striking with the bold stripes and simple matte surface working together. The result is practical, decorative and refreshingly contemporary. This can look good on small and large pieces. Also consider other colours and metals such as zinc, copper and brass.

Ex-Coach Pleads Guilty
January 4, 1997, Section 1, Page 34Buy Reprints
A former Western Hockey League coach who helped develop some National Hockey League stars pleaded guilty Thursday to sex crimes involving some of his former players.
GRAHAM JAMES, who resigned in September as coach of the Calgary Hitmen after a police investigation became public, admitted two counts of sexual assault. The defense and prosecution proposed that James serve three and a half years in prison and have no contact with minors for 10 years. The victims were not named in court.
The offenses took place between 1984 and 1994 when James was a coach in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. James has helped produce such N.H.L. players as JOE SAKIC, the Colorao Avalanche captain; THEO FLEURY of the Calgary Flames and GEOFF SANDERSON of the Hartford Whalers. (AP)

My OUTLANDER Purgatory: Joseph Morgan as Stephen Bonnet?
Does anyone else think that Joseph Morgan would make a fantastic Stephen Bonnet? I mean...dinna get me wrong, lads and lassies; the man could play any number of characters and be tremendous. Hell, I'd be willing to see him in a Lord John role. But I'm used to seeing him be both charasmatic and vicious as Klaus on the Vampire Diaries...so Bonnet's not such a stretch.
I don't know....I had always pictured someone with a little more memorable face. Like the kind that looks like trouble without even talking. This guy looks likeable to me.
OK - PS - I put up another video...he's being a jerk in the first minute or so. I forget that people don't watch the who and haven't seen him be evil.
I could totally see this guy all dressed up and with the accent, oh!
I love him. Seriously. He's dripping with yummy and evil...all at the same time.
Where is it written that a "Bad Guy" has look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame? I think a very attractive, sensual looking man (especially if he can evoke that "needy little boy" mental image) could be devastatingly evil!


I was at the border, a British national with an Arab name on my way into Palestine-Israel. The Jordanians were suspicious but not at all intimidating. It felt more like an unexpected cup of tea with an avuncular officer (which it was) than an interrogation. I learnt about Abu Tariq's children and he learned about my reasons for crossing, my travels, and my career. He noted everything down before shaking my hand.
The bus through no-man's land was full of Palestinian-Israelis, descendants of the remnant not driven out in 1948 – those the Israelis call 'Arab-Israelis', as if they were recent immigrants from Kuwait or Algeria. The sun bubbled the box of our bus. It was airless and sweaty inside.
Israeli border control is staffed by teenaged girls in low-slung military trousers backed up by men with sunglasses and enormous guns. The girls clocked my (Arabic) name, and my bags were searched. Then I was closely questioned. Then I had to wait. Fortunately it was Yom Kippur: they let me through an hour later when they closed up early.
Then by car through the the ethnically-cleansed city of Beesan (signposted in Arabic script with the Hebrew name – Beit She'an), and into the West Bank. The roadsigns here are very democratically scripted in Hebrew, English and Arabic, except for those in Hebrew only. But Palestinian towns and villages are never posted. A visitor travelling a Jews-only road wouldn't realise that such places exist. Jerusalem is written in Arabic as "Urushaleem," and then between brackets "al-Quds", which is the actual, ancient and contemporary Arab name. In such ways the attempt is made to occupy the land's abstract Arab qualities, to control history and memory, the past as well as the present and future.
In Nablus I stayed near a graveyard housing tens of young men shot dead at checkpoints. At the checkpoint on the mountainside, blocking the entrance to the Samaritan village, two soldiers – of European and Ethiopian origin – mistook me for a Palestinian. "Roo!" they bellowed. "Roo!" "I speak English!" I squealed, waving my passport. They gestured for me to approach. "You're English?" asked the European. "So why are you brown?" "From the sun," I said with a foolish grin, and they let me through.
The Samaritans are Palestinians, but their religion, an ancient form of Judaism, makes them a tolerated people in Israeli eyes. Their village felt like another country. Israelis arrived on their own road to stroll the Byzantine ruins on the hilltop. Signs in Arabic advertised 'the Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria'. A group of American tourists sat panting in the shade, drinking beer. I wondered how many knew there was a city choking down the slope.
Beer drew a group of European teachers to the Taybeh Octoberfest. Taybeh is a Christian village near Ramallah which brews its own brand. On the way home the teachers' bus was stopped. "Why are you going to Nablus?" the Israelis demanded. The full-bellied foreigners said they were religious tourists, residing in a Nablus church. One made the mistake of smiling. An Israeli squeezed his neck until he admitted nothing was funny.
Settlers, of course, have gleaming checkpoint-free highways to take them anywhere in the country except Gaza. West Bank Palestinians are forbidden entry to Jerusalem, Gaza and Israel proper. So on my way out I hired a driver with a Jerusalem ID. This document allowed him to drive me from Ramallah up the confiscated Jordan valley to Beesan and then the border. He was clean-shaven and light-skinned. No political symbols decorated his Israeli-plated car. At the first checkpoint he greeted the soldiers in perfect Hebrew, and we passed.
But at the checkpoint exiting the West Bank the soldiers examined the driver through narrowed eyes. They asked his name. They asked my name. An officer spoke into a radio. We were pulled over, searched and interrogated. My bag was passed through a machine and then emptied. The driver was body-searched. A Palestinian-Israeli family, dressed traditionally, also underwent the procedure. So did a woman dressed in high heels and make-up, another Israeli passport holder, with Hebrew books in her bag, travelling alone. What we all had in common, as well as Israeli plates on our vehicles, was Arab names. Jews whizzed through the checkpoint.
Jews travel freely while Palestinians wait. Jews carry guns (and often use them). Jews build while Palestinian homes are demolished. In the West Bank as in the rest of Israel-Palestine, Palestinian populations are squeezed between Jewish settlements. Their land and water is confiscated. The settlements shadow every hill top. During my visit I couldn't find a clear territorial distinction between Israel and the West Bank. The only distinction I saw was an apartheid distinction, between the two peoples living on the land.

"The tactical communications market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.52%"
The tactical communications market is estimated to be valued at USD 8.62 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 18.53 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 16.52% between 2016 and 2021. The demand for more advanced tactical equipment has increased as older equipment require a large number of vehicles to transport, which limits their deployment flexibility. Furthermore, the bandwidth within which this equipment operates is unable to adequately meet the demand for modern network enabled applications. This is expected to drive the tactical communications market.
"Combat segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the tactical communications market"
The combat segment of the tactical communications market, by application, is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing usage of tactical communication systems by troops in the battlefield for extensive exchange of digital data garnered from sensors, weapons, computers, and command centers. The use of such systems in the battlefield has also increased as they have become more agile and are easier to set up compared to the legacy equipment, which restricted mobility.
Command & control is expected to be the second-fastest growing segment in the tactical communications market, by application.
"North America to account for a dominant share, whereas Asia-Pacific the fastest-growing regional market for tactical communications"
North America dominates the tactical communications market. The market in the region is mainly driven by the U.S. which has been focusing toward developing faster, stealthier, and more ruggedized communications systems for use in various terrains. The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate in the tactical communication market during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. This growth in tactical communications market in the APAC region can be attributed to the increase in the procurement of tactical communication systems by emerging economies and focus on strengthening their communications infrastructure in the defense sector.
Key players profiled in the tactical communications market report include: Northrop Grumman Corporation (U.S.), Raytheon Company (U.S.), General Dynamics Corporation (U.S.), Thales Group (France), and Harris Corporation (U.S.), among others.

Supreme Court of Arkansas
In Willie v. Purdy, 223 Ark. 275, 265 S.W.2d 534, we stated that mere ignorance of one's rights does not prevent the operation of the statute of limitations; in the event there are affirmative and fraudulent acts of concealment, the statute commences to run when the fraud is discovered. McKissic had been dealing with Davidson for years, and part of his claim of usury dates back for a long period of time.
Summary of this case from Carter v. Zachary
See 1 Summary
Nos. 5-322, 5-323
Opinion delivered March 8, 1954.
1. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS — PLEADING. — The plea of the statute of limitations cannot be raised by demurrer, unless the complaint shows not only that the time had elapsed so as to bar the action, but in addition thereto, it must appear also, from the complaint, the non-existence of any ground for the avoidance of the statute of limitation. 2. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS — DISCOVERY OF FRAUD. — The mere fact that the appellants were non-residents does not entitle them to preferred consideration under the statute of limitations. 3. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS — DISCOVERY OF FRAUD. — Unless the fraud was of such a character as necessarily to imply concealment, it is necessary, in order to postpone the running of the statute of limitations until the discovery of the fraud, that the ignorance thereof shall have been produced by affirmative acts of the guilty party. 4. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS — DISCOVERY OF FRAUD. — Insufficient facts are alleged in appellants' complaint to sustain the assertion or conclusion that Myra E. Williams and L. E. Purdy fraudulently concealed a cause of action from the appellants. 5. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS — JUDGMENTS. — In an action to cancel a decree, it is not sufficient to show that the court reached its conclusion upon false or incompetent evidence, or without any evidence at all, but it must be shown that some fraud or imposition was practiced upon the court in the procurement of the decree, and this must be something more than false or fraudulent acts or testimony the truth of which was, or might have been, in issue in the proceeding before the court which resulted in the decree assailed.
Appeal from Dallas Circuit Court; John M. Golden, Judge; affirmed.
J. R. Wilson and Paul, K. Roberts, for appellant.
Thomas E. Sparks, for appellee.
MINOR W. MILLWEE, Justice.
Sometime in 1918, Joseph A. Williams, while serving as a soldier in the U.S. Army, bought a Service Life Insurance policy and named his half-sister, Amelia Williams, as beneficiary. Joseph died intestate on October 18, 1919, and Amelia received installment payments on the insurance until her death in 1991. The federal law at that time, 43 Stats. at Large, 1310, Chapter 553, 14, provided that if the beneficiary ". . . dies prior to receiving all the two hundred and forty installments or all such as are payable and applicable, title shall be paid to the estate of the insured, the present value of the monthly installments thereafter payable . . ."
After Amelia's death, her mother, Myra E. Williams, brought suit against L. E. Purdy as administrator of Joseph's estate, in which action she claimed to be the sole heir of Amelia Williams, who was the sole heir of Joseph Williams. The parties to that action stipulated that Myra was the wife of George J. Williams; that Joseph was the son of George Williams by a former wife; that Joseph died intestate leaving as his sole heir a half-sister, Amelia, born in lawful wedlock, the daughter of Myra and George Williams; and that Myra is the sole heir of Amelia.
At the November, 1929, term of the Dallas Circuit Court, a judgment was entered in favor of Myra, and in satisfaction thereof, the administrator paid her $8,069.66, Joseph's entire estate.
On July 3, 1948, appellants herein, the collateral heirs of George Williams, sought to vacate the judgment obtained in 1929 against L. E. Purdy, administrator, on the ground of fraud in obtaining the judgment under the fourth subdivision of Ark. Stats. 29-506. They filed an intervention in the 1929 action alleging that Myra was never married to George Williams; that Amelia was therefore illegitimate; and that both Myra and L. E. Purdy knew these facts to be true at the time they entered into the stipulation to the contrary. Appellants also alleged they were non-residents of Arkansas, that they had no notice of their right to said insurance, and that their cause of action was first revealed to them in the course of other litigation in July, 1945. It was further alleged that after the death of George J. Williams the non-resident families of the appellants tried to keep up correspondence with the family of George J. Williams in Arkansas but that such correspondence "failed at all times to show the status of Joseph A. Williams or Amelia Williams on account of the character of the correspondence which was either due to the illiteracy of Myra E. Williams or her desire to conceal the status of the lands belonging to George J. Williams at the time of his death." There are other allegations in the form of conclusions that appellants had been defrauded of the insurance money by the fraudulent concealment of Myra E. Williams or certain unnamed persons acting in her behalf.
Appellants filed with their petition in intervention a cross-complaint in which they asked for judgment against: the executrix of the estate of L. E. Purdy, deceased, and the sureties on his administrator's bond; the administrator of the estate of Myra Williams, deceased, and his sureties; the distributees of Myra Williams' estate, their administrators and their guardians; and the bondsmen on the refunding bond' required in the estate of Myra Williams. On the same day the intervention was filed, an almost identical complaint was filed by the same parties, the only difference being that the parties were designated "intervenors and cross-complainants" in one action and "plaintiffs" in the other. With the filing of every amendment to the intervention there was also filed an almost identical amendment to the complaint. In both cases, the trial judge sustained a demurrer on the ground that the action was barred by the statute of limitations. The cases have been consolidated for purposes of this appeal. In the absence of any circumstances tolling the running of the statute of limitations, appellants' cause of action is clearly barred either by the 5-year limitation imposed in Ark. Stats. 37-213 or the 8-year limitation applicable to actions on the bonds of administrators and executors under Ark. Stats. 37-211. It has repeatedly been held by this court that the statute of limitations may be raised by demurrer. Herpin v. Webb, 221 Ark. 798, 256 S.W.2d 44. However, this rule has certain qualifications, for in State, use Glover v. McIlroy, 196 Ark. 63, 116 S.W.2d 601, it is said: "It is urged, and we think correctly so, that the plea of the statute of limitations cannot be raised by demurrer, unless the complaint shows not only that the time had elapsed so as to bar the action, but in addition thereto, it must appear also, from the complaint, the non-existence of any ground for the avoidance of the statute of limitations. St. L., I. M. S. Ry. Co. v. Brown, 49 Ark. 253, 4 S.W. 781; Collins v. Mack, 31 Ark. 684; Rogers v. Osborn, 116 Ark. 933, 172 S.W. 867; McCollum v. Neimeyer, 142 Ark. 471, 219 S.W. 746."
Mere ignorance of one's rights does not prevent the operation of the statute of limitations, but where the ignorance is produced by affirmative and fraudulent acts of concealment, the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the fraud is discovered. Landman v. Fincher, 196 Ark. 609, 119 S.W.2d 521; Hurry v. Frost, 204 Ark. 386, 162 S.W.2d 48; State of Tennessee v. Barton, 210 Ark. 816, 198 S.W.2d 512. Some affirmative act of concealment must be done; mere failure to reveal is not enough, unless there is a duty to speak. Arkansas Power and Light Co. v. Decker, 181 Ark. 1079, 28 S.W.2d 701. As the court said in McKneely v. Terry, 61 Ark. 527, 33 S.W. 953: "No mere ignorance on the part of plaintiff of his rights, nor the mere silence of one who is under no obligation to speak, will prevent the statute bar. There must be some positive act of fraud, something so furtively planned and secretly executed as to keep the plaintiff's cause of action concealed, or perpetrated in a way that it conceals itself. And if the plaintiff, by reasonable diligence, might have detected the fraud, he is presumed to have had reasonable knowledge of it." It has also been held that blood kinship alone does not constitute such relationship as requires ' revelation of the facts. Stephens v. Walker, 193 Ga. 330, 18 S.E.2d 537. Nor does the mere fact that the appellants were non-residents entitle them to preferred consideration, for Ark. Stats. 37-230 provides:
"This act and all other acts of limitation now in force: shall apply to non-residents as well as residents of this state." This is also the general rule in the absence of a statute. 54 C.J.S., Limitation of Actions, 208.
The applicable rule is stated in 34 Am.Jur., Limitation of Actions, 166, as follows: "Unless the fraud was of such a character as necessarily to imply concealment, it is necessary, in order to `postpone the running of the statute of limitations until the discovery of the fraud, that ignorance thereof shall have been produced by affirmative acts of the guilty party. In other words, the fact that the complainant was ignorant of the fraud until after the right to recover was barred is not per se sufficient to entitle him to the benefit of the exception under consideration, in the absence of any act or conduct on the part of his adversary calculated to mislead, deceive, or lull inquiry." And in 167, it is said: "To prevent the barring of an action, it must appear that the fraud not only was not discovered, but could not have been discovered with reasonable diligence, until within the statutory period before the action was begun. A plaintiff cannot excuse his delay in instituting suit if his failure to discover the fraud was attributable to his own neglect."
When tested by these rules, it is our conclusion that the trial court correctly held appellants' action barred by the statute of limitations. Insufficient facts are alleged in appellants' complaint to sustain the assertion or conclusion that Myra E. Williams and L. E. Purdy fraudulently concealed a cause of action from the appellants. There are no allegations of such affirmative and positive acts of fraudulent concealment on their part as to toll the running of the statute of limitations nor is the fraud alleged of such character as necessarily implies concealment. Indeed it is alleged that Myra E. Williams' failure to notify appellants might just as well have resulted from her illiteracy as from anything else. By the exercise of reasonable diligence appellants could have ascertained the death of their kinsman, Joseph A. Williams, and the status of his estate. These and other facts pertinent to the 1929 judgment had been matters of public record for more than 18 years before the institution of the instant proceedings.
There is also another reason why the demurrer of appellees should have been sustained. In Parker v. Sims, 185 Ark. 1111, 51 S.W.2d 517, the court said: "The fraud which entitles a party to impeach a judgment must be fraud extrinsic of the matter tried in the cause, and does not consist of any false or fraudulent act or testimony the truth of which was or might have been in issue in the proceeding before the court which resulted in the judgment assailed. It must be a fraud practiced upon the court in the procurement of the judgment itself." The rule is stated in Hendrickson v. Farmer's Bank and Trust Co., 189 Ark. 423 73 S.W.2d 725, as follows: "The fraud for which a decree will be canceled must consist in its procurement and not merely in the original cause of action. It is not sufficient to show that the court reached its conclusion upon false or incompetent evidence, or without any evidence at all, but it must be shown that some fraud or imposition was practiced upon the court in the procurement of the decree, and this must be something more than false or fraudulent acts or testimony the truth of which was, or might have been, in issue in the proceeding before The court which resulted in the decree assailed." See also, Manning v. Manning, 206 Ark. 425; 175 S.W.2d 982; Alexander v. Alexander, 217 Ark. 230, 229 S.W.2d 204; Blankenship v. Montgomery, 218 Ark. 864, 239 S.W.2d 272.
The fraud complained of in this case, i. e. the alleged false stipulation of facts showing Amelia Williams to be the sole heir of Joseph A. Williams, was not extrinsic of the issue actually tried and decided, for the determination of heirship was primary in the rendering of the judgment sought to be set aside. Hence, the action of Myra E. Williams and L. E. Purdy in entering into a false stipulation in the original action would have amounted to intrinsic fraud and not the type of fraud required to vacate the judgments It follows that the complaint failed to state a cause of action on the ground of fraud in the procurement of the judgment.
