Looks like the Santa Claus rally is coming to town.
U.S. stock investors typically have themselves a merry little December, even after market returns have been bright, according to research from S&P Capital IQ. Since 1945, whenever the Standard & Poor\'s 500-stock index has gained 15% or more for the year through November, the index rose 2.1% on average in December better than 70% of the time, says Sam Stovall, the firm\'s chief equity strategist.
If 2013 mirrors this pattern, money managers won\'t move now to lock in those stunning S&P 500 year-to-date gains — currently topping 26%. Instead, they\'ll dismiss the naysayers\' bubble concerns as blather and instead will let their winners ride, Stovall predicts.
\"December ranks as the best performing month for the S&P 500, whether you look back to 1990, 1970, 1945, or 1900,\" Stovall notes.
In fact, since World War II December has been the S&P 500\'s best-performing month and its least volatile. The benchmark U.S. stock index rose in price during 78% of all Decembers since 1945, versus an average 59% for all months and just 45% for September, according to S&P.
As for years resembling this one, when the S&P 500 is up 20% or more in the first 11 months of the year, December\'s average return was 1.8% with an increase 73% of the time.
The December Effect also applies to the 10 S&P 500 industry sectors. Since 1990, when a sector gained 15% or more, December\'s performance was most often positive. The best result was for consumer stocks: Consumer staples have posted an average 5.2% advance in December, while consumer discretionary saw an average 3.2% advance in the year\'s final month. The weakest sector was energy, which rose 1.3% on average.
This year so far, only telecom and utilities are up less than 15%.

Q: My app crashes after clicking button When I click the button my app crashes and I have no idea why. I've looked up my code a lot of times but can't seem to find any "major flaws". The purpose of the app is just clicking the button twice as fast as possible and it displays the amount of time needed from the first tap to the second tap. Some sort of reaction thing. I used a timer because I didn't know what else to use.
(Value of start time) - (value of current timer) = (time between first and second click).

EDIT
How do i do it the right way in the line scoreText.setText(startTime - millisUntilFinished); to display startTime-current timer value?
CountDownTimer timer = new CountDownTimer(startTime, interval) {
    @Override
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        scoreText.setText(startTime - millisUntilFinished);
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinish() {
    }
};

A: Actually, you are declaring your TextView scoreText twice. One gloabally and other locally. You can replace TextView scoreText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.scoreText);
 to scoreText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.scoreText);

in your onCreate()

Meanwhile, Kirk's father Abraham Langstrom is at his business headquarters and after sending his employees home for the night, injects himself with the Man-bat formula and changes into the Man-Bat. He then feeds on a homeless man, killing him.
Meanwhile, in the Batcave, Batman runs a blood sample from the latest crime and learns that it belongs to Abraham. Batman then speaks to Lucius Fox about making a antidote and learns that Abraham and the Bruce's father knew each other, but were not friends.\
Kirk confronts his father, but is powerless to stop him. The next night, Batman tracks down Man-bat but this time the antidote breaks and Batman is through to the ground, as Man-bat flies away.

When he arrived in the U.S., he needed to catch a connecting flight to Madison Wisconsin; he had very little time because the flight had taken off late from London. At customs, my father ran into some issues with one of the on duty officials. The Customs official in Idlewild looked at my father's passport, he immediately questioned his nationality. My father was quite fair-skinned, and to this official, he did not look Indian. But, my father had no idea how to respond to this question. He just looked at the official and told him he needed to catch a connecting flight and that his English had an Indian accent and this should be proof. My father was bewildered as to the concept of race, as he only understood nationality. The man got angry and started yelling at my father, who did not catch everything he said.
My father stated that his passport showed who he was, and that this question of race had never been asked before. Unfortunately, the customs agent proceeded to get frustrated and dumped the contents of my fathers luggage on the floor. My father did not understand what happened but he immediately picked up the clothes and started packing again. He did not even understand that this man was done with his tirade. So he stood there, the man got angry again and asked my father if he was deaf? Finally my father took his passport and got out. By this time he had missed his connecting flight.
My father would always say that he was ready to simply go back to India right then and there. He had enough money to buy a ticket, but instead, a man who had been standing behind him walked up to him and offered to buy him a drink at the Airport Bar. He was a German immigrant, who had come to the U.S. after World War II. He was returning from Europe and he saw what had happened. He started talking to my father, and told him not to be shaken. He explained to my father that the reason all this happened is because the custom agent doubted my Father was Indian.
The episode was based on stereotyping Indians based on color. Thus, when he didn't get anywhere he got aggressive. He started telling him that when he came to the U.S. many people hated Germans and he had a rough time. But now things were changing for him. He was amazed that my father was going to college and he told him that he had made it this far, so that he should definitely not give up because of some "Idiot". He would help my father get another ticket and made sure he got on that flight without issue.


I have yet to sit down, and actually work on my writing. I found my way onto Youtube, and fell down the rabbit hole that it is. That being said I did come up with what I think are some treasures. I discovered a youtube video for organizing writers notebooks. Okay, I actually found a lot of tips for such a thing.
It inspired me to dig out all my own notebooks, and get organized. What a hot mess that was. I have snippets of novels, notes, story ideas all over in these things. I even found bits that do not belong in my writing notebooks in them. Much like my career over the last five years they were broken and scattered. That is okay though. I can tear them apart, and organize them nice and neat into three ring binders, which I intend to do as soon as I can make it to a store to purchase some.
However, in the meantime I did find a few that I hadn't used much. They are now nicely organized. One for the horror novel I am currently working on, and another for my general notes, thoughts, story idea compilation.
Along my rabbit hole travels I ran into some older videos from the girls at Word Nerds. I love their vlogs, because they are inspirational, and uplifting. Though, I didn't count I finding one of the biggest gems in them. Little did I know two years ago this vlog came out on their channel, and it contained something I will be using. It's a website that works like NaNoWriMo, where you set your own monthly goals, daily goals, and you can track it all right there. There is a section with graphs so you can monitor your progress, and a place where you can write on the goal, and mail yourself what you've written.
I am a very visual person, so this is an incredible asset to me. I will link it all for you to check out, and the Youtube channel for them. Please subscribe to their channel, and enjoy their helpful videos, write-ins, and encouragement.

Broadway In Chicago Announces THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY Returns May 12-17

Broadway In Chicago is delighted to announce that THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY will return for a limited one-week engagement May 12 – 17, 2020 at Broadway In Chicago's CIBC Theatre (18 W. Monroe). THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY is now playing at Broadway In Chicago's Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E. Chestnut) through December 8, 2019. Tickets for the return engagement are now on sale.
The immersive concert-style theater show chronicles the amazing journey shared by the folk-rock duo, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. It tells the story from their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry to their incredible success as one of the best-selling music groups of the '60s to their dramatic split in 1970. It culminates with the famous "The Concert in Central Park" reunion in 1981 with more than half a million fans in attendance.
Using state of the art video projection, photos and original film footage, the show also features a full live band performing all of their hits, including 'Mrs. Robinson' (featured in the 1967 film The Graduate), 'Cecilia', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Homeward Bound' and many more.
With more than 100 million album sales since 1965, Simon & Garfunkel's perfect harmonies and songs that poignantly captured the times made them one of the most successful folk-rock duos of all time. Over the years, they won 10 Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. In 1977, their Bridge Over Troubled Water album was nominated at the 1977 Brit Awards for Best International Album. In 2003, Simon and Garfunkel were awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the following year saw their "The Sound of Silence" awarded a Grammy Hall of Fame Award.

Nowadays, we can't do away with social media. It's an "epidemic" infecting almost anyone. Since the advent of Facebook in 2004, which is still the number one social media and networking service company tool with 2.167 billion users as of January 2018, we have now accumulated a huge volume of data to study the impact of social media.


What is a Creation Story?
A Creation Story is a type of story that helps to explain the history and some of the traditional beliefs held by Koorie people. They are stories which blend scientifically verifiable events from our ancient past with stories that relate to our beliefs, tales of morality and life lessons.
Ours is an oral tradition which is over 60,000 years old, spanning more than 2,000 generations. Some of our Creation Stories talk about events from the last ice age, when long extinct animals still roamed the land, of lands being flooded and of stars turning super nova. Our stories also teach us to be good to one another, to listen to our Elders, look after our country and understand how many things work.
Tiddalik is a small mischievous and very thirsty frog who appears in one of Australia's best known Creation Stories. It's the story of a frog whose greed results in all of the water in the creeks, lakes and rivers being depleted, resulting in the other animals working together to see it returned.
Tiddalik's story is found in many parts of Australia, however the way Tiddalik's story is told in the Pauline Gandel Children's Gallery and at Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre is a version that belongs to the Gunnai Kurnai people of Gippsland.
The importance of our environment and the preciousness of our water resources.
The value of our Elders and the importance of listening to those whose life experiences can help us make good decisions.
To share and not be greedy or selfish.

Outdoor Gravity Park Review by Jill Baran | By Far The Most Unique And Fun Attraction We Have Done, Ever!
By Far The Most Unique And Fun Attraction We Have Done, Ever!
We fell in love with this idea the moment we saw a video on you-tube. Anything "one of a kind" is worth trying once – or three times like we did. I couldn't pull the kids away from this one! A huge rubber-like ZORB, filled with 10 gallons of fresh water – with 1-3 people inside -- then they roll you down a 1,000 foot grass hill. The best part is for each ride, they give you a hand held GOPRO to video yourself on the ride down – making it twice the fun as you get to experience it all over again. It's hot in Tennessee, so all you need is a bathing suit or t-shirt and shorts … bring your own go-pro or borrow theirs – watching is free – purchasing your video is extra if you want to continue to relive the fun at home. We went on a summer weekday around 11am – they open at 10 – and it's advisable to go early or go later to avoid the lines. We didn't have any trouble with the wait – we arrived and locked our valuables in the car, stowed our shoes in a cubby and headed out to the park. Music, benches and tables make it a comfortable spot to spend some time just watching the fun – even if you are not riding, you should go watch! Safe for kids 5+ … it' s a great family time. The shuttle rides everyone up the hill – then you get to choose one of 3 courses to try – that's why we did it three times – hard to choose and we wanted to experience them all! My favorite? Hard to say -- the far right course combines both of the others ... a little bouncing around and a little speed - so it' s a great first choice. The far left is the only course that must be ridden alone - but definately the most FUN. Take a minute to visit them online at www.outdoorgraivtypark.com to view some videos to get an idea – it's not nearly as scary as you would think – only my husband felt a little "dizzy" after, but the truth is you never go upside down, and it's safe to wear your sunglasses on the way! We are excited to offer our readers a special discount for your first ROLL – mention USFamilyGuide to pay just $15 – a savings of $10!
If you live local to Pigeon Forge - this could be a big hit for your next birthday party or group event, FUN!

Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM)'S Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) and the China Banking Regulatory Commission
3 May 2016, Abu Dhabi, UAE: Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM)'s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) and the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate co-operation and the exchange of information that supports the exchange of regulatory information as well as the development of financial institutions in both jurisdictions. The MoU was signed by Mr SHANG Fulin, Chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) and Mr Richard Teng, Chief Executive Officer, Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRSA) of ADGM on 28 April 2016 in Beijing.
(Photo - L to R seated : Mr Richard Teng, CEO of FSRA and Mr Shang Fulin, Chairman of CBRC)
This MOU is FSRA's first with an Asian regulator and represents the importance placed by ADGM on maintaining a strong relationship with China. This partnership marks a new milestone for Abu Dhabi's financial industry and ADGM as the new international financial centre in the UAE.
The agreement provides a framework for FSRA and CBRC to render mutual assistance, exchange of relevant regulatory information, co-operate in the supervision and oversight of the compliance of financial institutions with applicable banking laws and regulations. Both authorities will also be able to leverage the MOU to explore and launch mutually beneficial initiatives such as joint training and technical assistance to strengthen the high regulatory standards and practice in their respective jurisdictions.
After the MOU signing, Chairman Shang and Richard Teng met to discuss ongoing initiatives by Chinese banks and financial institutions with ADGM. They also discussed areas of cooperation including joint efforts and initiatives to support the aspirations of both Chinese and UAE banks and financial institutions to engage in cross-border activities and business expansion.
The signing of this MOU also lays a strong foundation for further economic and financial cooperation between China and Abu Dhabi and comes after the inclusion of UAE in the RMB Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (RQFII) quota of 50 billion yuan (approximately 7.5 billion USD) aimed at promoting bilateral trade and investment.
"With China's strategic "One Belt and One Road initiative, Chinese financial institutions, and stakeholders are increasingly expanding their investment, trade and economic engagement in the Middle East and Africa. As the International Financial Center of Abu Dhabi, ADGM is committed to play its role as a strategic and economic partner for Chinese stakeholders in advancing their commercial aspirations in this region. Similarly, ADGM supports its local stakeholders in their aspirations to expand their engagement with China. We look forward to building a long-term and meaningful relationship with the China Banking Regulatory Commission and support China's One Belt, One Road initiative," said Mr. Richard Teng, CEO, FSRA of ADGM.

Eastbourne pensioner died after waiting for an ambulance for hours
SUS-160929-101431001
Published: 12:52 Monday 23 September 2019
An 87-year-old Eastbourne man died after waiting for more than three hours for an ambulance, an inquest has heard.
A coroner found Maurice Goodwin, of Wannock Road, died from natural causes contributed to by neglect at the inquest in Hastings – which linked late ambulances to three deaths in East Sussex in 2017.
South East Coast Ambulance Service
His wife of 64 years Barbara said, "I wish more than anything he hadn't had to die like this."
The great-grandfather died on August 31, 2017, after his wife found his trousers were soaked in blood from his catheter.
But she was told an ambulance would not be coming and Mr Goodwin was referred to the community team.
District nurses eventually arrived but by then he was pronounced dead.
Mrs Goodwin said, "There is no doubt in our minds his pain and distress was a contributing factor to his death."
The same inquest heard 90-year-old Daisy Filby, from Seaford, was 'failed' by a system under huge pressure to be as efficient as possible, according to senior coroner Alan Craze.
Mrs Filby's disabled daughter Linda called 999 after her mother suffered a fall and was unable to move. The pair waited an hour and 45 minutes before help arrived, with Linda calling 999 four times, but Mrs Filby died at the scene.
Mr Craze said, "The problem ultimately is systemic and the heart of it is the call-taking and decision-making system."
He said the system used by South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) 'failed Mrs Filby and her daughter'.
Meanwhile a 999 call for 84-year-old Anthony Harding, of Wivelsfield, was triaged as a 'minor medical issue' after he suffered a fall in August 2017.
Medics did not arrive for more than an hour 'because of a shortage of resources'. He later died.

Mr Craze said the problem was the call-answering service, which he called 'not fit for purpose'.
SECAmb said, "Our thoughts are with the families and everyone affected and we are very sorry for the service they received.
"We have listened very closely to the coroner and are committed to making further improvements where necessary.
"Since these incidents took place in 2017, it is important to note a significant amount of work has taken place to improve our service.
"We are continuing to work hard so that we are best placed to respond to patients across our region and we remain committed to further improvement."

The Pottery Maker
The Bauer sisters, Barbara, Lucinda, and Hanna, sat for this photograph at the Gustave Kundler photography studio in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I believe the image was captured about 1875. The girls would have been 11, 10, and two years old, respectively.
I've come to surmise that the photos of the identified children found in this album were friends or schoolmates of the album's owner, or possibly of their child. Why you may ask? Take this photo as an example, if these children were nieces or cousins, it would make sense that they would all be identified, not just Barbara. The person who wrote Barbara's name did so because they had a relationship with her and not her sisters. Of course, this is only my deduction.
I love this image for many reasons. First, look at the matching dresses Barbara and Lucinda are wearing. They match, right down to the ribbons and brooches! It seems that Hanna couldn't sit still. Someone is behind the curtain holding her head, and look at how Barbara and Lucinda are holding onto her arms. The hidden person might have been the girls' mother, Margaret (nee Roth), or possibly an older brother, George or John, was given the task. It couldn't have been their father, John George Bauer, as he died Oct. 2, 1873, when Hannah was just eight months old.
Barbara, Lucinda, and Hanna were born in Wisconsin. Their parents were immigrants from Germany. Their father manufactured pottery and tile, a business their mother and brothers carried on after his death. At 16, Barbara helped support the household by working as a live-in servant for a private family.
Sadly, none of the girls lived long lives. Barbara married Adam Geil when she was nineteen, had eight children, and died in 1919, aged 56. Lucinda married Alb Bloedorn, had at least four children, and died on April 20, 1900, aged 34. Hanna never married and died on February 1, 1907. Like Lucinda, she was 34 years old. Unfortunately, I was unable to uncover the causes of their deaths.
This carte de visite (cdv) is the third photo I researched out of what I've dubbed the Waukesha album because of where I found it, in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The few photos with names written on them are children that appear to have been born about the same time period, the late 1850s to early 1860s. If you're interested, here are links to the previous posts, The Butcher and The Baker.

PHO: Who can still afford...?
Who can still afford to have a house or an apartment in bigger cities is certainly an issue. Paris is not the most expensive city in the world, but it's expensive enough. Unless you already have a fortune, you need a good income - very often at least two family members would need to have a job - if you wish to find an acceptable place for your family (buying or renting).
Some efforts, maybe not sufficient, are made in order to offer not only luxury lodging within the Paris city limits. There are laws and regulations which force the French municipalities to take the social aspect into account when allowing new building permits – more or less followed.
Where I live in Paris, the population is still quite well mixed. Most buildings are hundred years or older, but some fifteen minutes walking away we can find some examples of what has been done with regard to new constructing these last ten years. The buildings I show here are basically occupied by people who I suppose have a comparatively modest income. They have partly been built on what used to be a rail yard.
It seems to me that here the architects have at least tried to do something a little bit different and to create something which may seem acceptable for a decent living. Between the buildings, you can also find some green areas, playing grounds etc. … and you are still in Paris, not in a more or less far away situated suburb.
The surprising "green tower" building is actually very simple as such and without the pots on the balconies it would look extremely ordinary, but it's already some ten years old and the plants are still there and green (or almost all of them). However, what will it look like in another ten or twenty years? It's clear that the Paris city buildings from e.g. the 19th century were made to last "for ever". How long will these buildings still be nice? Maybe a necessary compromise? You build something really nice to be there "for ever" and then it gets too expensive.
Je suis bien placée pour savoir que c'est cher pour se loger à Paris!!, mais ces batiments sont assez agréables à regarder, toute cette verdure, on se croirait à la campagne et il y a de belles couleurs, mais comme tu le dis,comment seront ils dans quelques années?
The green building is VERY different, and I like it--just as it is. The other building looks very modern; does it look out-of-place in Paris? I like that one, too.
I love the look of the green building, it looks like the building itself is alive, and breathing and providing oxygen for it's inhabitants, a sort of symbiosis.
The other building, very ordinary in comparison.
Le logement est un problème partout. Mais habiter à des dizaines, ou à des centaines de kilomètres de son lieu de travail est un autre problème qui, il me semble, s'aggrave au moins ici à "la campagne." Les gens construisent, et on construit des logement sociaux pour eux - par obligation des 20% - dans toutes les petites localités, où il n'y a pas de commerces, pas d'école, pas de travail. Tout le monde prend donc sa voiture matin et soir, et tout le monde crie à la pollution. Hier matin, lorsque je revenais du Havre (seule dans ma voiture) je regardais les voitures que je croisais. Une personne dans chaque voiture, sauf en ce qui concerne les camionnettes et d'autres véhicules professionnelles. Le trafic a augmenté, et augmente encore. Il faudrait que chacun puisse soit habiter près de son lieu de travail, soit travailler près du domicile. Utopique, peut-être! Le transport en commun pourrait chercher des exemples dans d'autres pays où ça fonctionne mieux.
I love lots of greenery but still, hope that that new architectual would not mar the historical image of Paris ya!
Over here...all the old buildings had been torn and it's a pity to loose part of our heritage.
Have a great weekend Peter.
I find it absolutely fascinating that people will endure almost anything just to live in a large city where the individual becomes one more memember of the masses.
The green building looks quite interesting!
I guess that they are fairly well fixed. They have remained there for some ten years and Paris suffered from its heaviest winds ever end 1999.
Je partage à 100% ce que tu dis.
As I have said above, in this case nothing has really been destroyed except an old railyard, not needed any more. We are not in the very central or more historical parts. (... then it would have been a "crime").
Compared to the blockhouses of the 70's, they look aestetically pleasing.
I wonder...are there any building lots still available in Paris proper? And, what kind of architectural style would be permitted? Is it strictly regulated?
If we just refer to Paris (quite small surface with only some 2 million inhabitants of the about 11 million in greater Paris) there is of course not much surface available, but there are still some important projects especially on the eastern left bank. Hardly anything radical will happen in the central parts and the few major newbuilding projects would rather concern earlier industrial areas or e.g. abandoned railyards.
Green space has also become important.
Some skyskrapers were built in the 60's and 70's (most of them are far from being an architectural success). This is now basically stopped; nothing can exceed 25, 31 or 37 meters, depending on where in the city. Exceptions may be discussed and there are some plans for such exceptions, but basically the condensed, skyskraper-like office buidlings are now made outside the Paris borders (typical example La Défense).
The first building with the trees are just amazing! Looks to me a bit surrealistic or not real. I love so much buildings with ivy on the walls!
Who can still afford...? Not me, anyway.
Only you cld find a "flower pot" apartment building. Great idea.
In London etc., there are regulations that all new developments must include 25% (????) "affordable" housing. It's working, but only just. It's a major problem throughtout ALL UK.


Online or instore, experience is the key.
As marketers, we tend to divide the world into digital and analogue. Although preaching the importance of creating omni-channel experiences, we structure ourselves into teams of traditional marketers and "digital people" (take me for example, labelled as a digital strategist). But how apparent is this divide in real life? Do consumers really think about brand experiences in terms of digital and physical?
Let's take retail as an example. Research shows that 90%* of consumers use their smartphones while shopping in-store. They simultaneously stroll and scroll, browsing the physical assortment while at the same time searching online for product features, price information and reviews. They expect the ability to move seamlessly across devices and channels, and a bad experience will be a bad experience no matter where it's encountered. Be it a grumpy sales clerk or a non-intuitive design – the customer experience will always be the sum of all interactions with your brand.
The discussion of digital vs. physical stores is definitely not a new one and it's becoming increasingly clear that we shouldn't think of it as a battle between channels. On one hand the death of brick and mortar has been predicted more than once. On the other it's becoming increasingly common for e-commerce retailers (e.g. Amazon) to expand their business and open physical stores. It goes to show that these two types of stores can in fact live alongside each other, and the question we should be asking ourselves is instead how we can enable them to support each other.
First and foremost, this means putting consumers first. Making sure they get what they want as fast as possible, when and where they need it (even if that means allowing them to research online, buy offline, complain via phone and return goods through carrier-pigeon). Second of all, it means sharing data between channels, platforms and departments. In order to deliver relevant products, content and experiences we need to map out customer preferences, online behavior and purchase patterns. And in order to do so, we need to draw from all insights available, ranging from in-store sales statistics, to CRM data and social media conversations, making sure that insights from the sales team make their way to marketing and the other way around. It's time we stop working in silos and start focusing on making sure consumers get the best experience possible – no matter the channel or device.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart on rash of arrests: 'they'll be handled the right way'
Georgia fourth-year head coach Kirby Smart plans to get a handle on the Bulldogs' off-field incidents.
Steven Colquitt / UGA Sports
Mike Griffith
@mikegriffith32
ATHENS — Georgia football coach Kirby Smart indicated disciplinary issues that cropped up this spring will be "handled the right way."
The Bulldogs had four players arrested on various misdemeanor charges between Feb. 28 and March 24.
"Obviously, I'm extremely disappointed," Smart said on Tuesday, after the Bulldogs' fourth spring practice. "There's a standard of behavior that's expected of student athletes at the University of Georgia."
The Bulldogs are allowed 15 spring practices including the annual G-Day scrimmage at 2 p.m. on April 20.
The four UGA players who have been arrested this offseason are:
• Redshirt sophomore DB Latavious Brini, Miami Gardens, Fla.
• Redshirt sophomore LB Jaden Hunter, Atlanta
• Freshman DB Tyrique Stevenson, Homestead, Fla.
• Senior WR Tyler Simmons, Powder Springs, Ga.
All four players have continued to practice with the team.
Stevenson and Simmons were involved in the most recent incident — which remains under investigation — in the early Sunday morning hours at The Cloud Bar in Athens.
RELATED: Two Georgia players allegedly involved in downtown Athens brawl
Both players were charged with disorderly conduct last Sunday after what Athens-Clarke County police referred to as a "chaotic" scene that spilled out into the street.
Smart said there were other players at the bar when a skirmish broke out, but it's his understanding Stevenson and Simmons were the only two involved.
The players did not go to the establishment together, though they ended up there at the same time.
"My concerns are the decisions that are made to put yourself in that situation," Smart said. "When you go downtown you've got to behave. You've got to act the right way and be law-abiding citizens. That's the expectations we have for our players, and to be honest with you, most of our guys do that.
"But when they don't, we're going to try to correct it, and we're going to try to do it the educational way."
Simmons was taken to the hospital for injuries after he was allegedly involved in the bar fight. Smart said the injury could be related to his ear, but he indicated it won't affect him at practice.
Stevenson, one of 22 UGA players who earned a 5-star recruiting ranking, is an early enrollee from Miami Southridge High School.
Hunter, the son of the late Bulldogs' legend Brice Hunter, was arrested last Wednesday for illegally stopping, standing or parking a vehicle and driving with a suspended/revoked license.
RELATED: Georgia linebacker arrested Wednesday night, posts bond
Brini's arrest on Feb. 28 was for simple battery, after he allegedly slapped a South Carolina man outside of the Silver Dollar Bar in downtown Athens.
Smart issued a statement after the Brini incident saying "This type of behavior is extremely disappointing and not representative of the standards for our football student-athletes. His discipline will be handled internally and hopefully good lessons will be learned that will lead to better choices moving forward."
Georgia is considered among the favorites to win the SEC in 2019, bringing back a veteran offensive line, a third-year starting quarterback in Jake Fromm and a 1,000-yard rusher in D'Andre Swift.
The defense, while lacking the apparent star power of a returning first-team All-SEC pick, features eight players in its front seven with starting experience.
Georgia also features one of the top returning safety duos in the league in senior J.R. Reed and junior Richard LeCounte.
Leadership, however, has been a question with 10 starters having departed for the NFL, including four underclassmen and three of the four permanent captains from the 2018 season.
Fromm is the only returning permanent captain, with seniors Lamont Gaillard and Jonathan Ledbetter, along with junior Elijah Holyfield, aiming for the 2019 NFL draft.

LSC Consumer Survey probes costs disclosure
(Media Release)
Date issued: 10 May 2017
The Legal Services Council (LSC) has published an Australian consumer survey report which focuses on what information consumers expect to be given about their legal costs.
The Legal Services Council Consumer Survey 2017 was conducted by Piazza Research on behalf of the LSC in December 2016. Its accompanying report was completed in February 2017. The report contains responses from more than 2,000 consumers in every State and Territory in Australia.
"The research provided valuable feedback on what consumers want to know about their legal costs and how they want that information to be presented to them. It also gives us useful information about other issues regarding costs disclosure," said LSC CEO and Commissioner for Uniform Legal Services Regulation, Dale Boucher.
"When we looked into the responses, some very interesting data emerged. One of the strongest messages was that the overwhelming majority of consumers (88%) want written advice about fees always or at a low threshold. Of these, half of Australian legal consumers (51%) think lawyers should always inform them of their fees in writing regardless of the level of fee involved.
"The responses showed us that written costs disclosure is important to consumers, not just in choosing a lawyer, but it also influences their level of satisfaction with their lawyer - and whether they seek legal help at all," he said.
Mr Boucher added a third of surveyed consumers indicated they were not told by their lawyer, barrister or solicitor, how much their work was likely to cost before it started. Sixty per cent said they were told only orally and almost half of surveyed consumers (46%) understood only a little of what their costs were likely to be, or did not understand the likely costs at all.
"For lower priced work, giving clients detailed information about costs can be time consuming, cumbersome and counterproductive because lengthy disclosures are not always easily understood by consumers. For these reasons, the Legal Services Council developed a simple costs disclosure form in NSW and Victoria for matters under $3,000. Lawyers can use this to keep their clients easily and clearly informed of costs," Mr Boucher said.
This research is an important part of the Legal Services Council's consultative process. It will inform the work of the Council as it continues to monitor costs disclosure requirements for law practices under the Legal Profession Uniform Law in NSW and Victoria.

This popular Anglo-Saxon last name developed as an English habitational name denoting a person from any of several towns/villages named Haley, primarily in West Yorkshire, derived from the Old English words heg, meaning "hay" and leah, meaning "woodland clearing". There have may also have been a place (probably a parish) in Oxfordshire known as Hailey, recorded as Hyle and Hayle in the Hundred Rolls of 1279 AD. It is also possible the name is topographic, and referred to a person who lived next to a hay clearing. Yet another origin theory as to the history/meaning of the Haley surname is offered by Elsdon Smith Coles in his 1956 book titled Dictionary of American Family Names: "Dweller at the way, or age, leading to the hall". In some cases, it is also an Irish surname, as it is a spelling variant of the anglicized Irish surname Healy.

The first known bearers of this surname was William de Hayleg who was documented in the Feet of Fines of Warwickshire c. 1251 AD. The Hundred Rolls of 1273 AD, a census of Wales and England, known in Latin as Rotuli Hundredorum lists one bearer of this surname: Petrus Haley (Oxfordshire). The Poll Tax Rolls of Yorkshire in 1379 AD also list two bearers: Johannes de Haylay and Willelmus Havlay.

The surname Haley frequency/commonness ranks as follows in the British Isles: England (1,558th), Scotland (2,286th), Wales (1,890th), Ireland (4,751st) and Northern Ireland (4,751st). In England, it ranks highest in West Yorkshire In Scotland, the surname ranks highest in North Lanarkshire. In Wales, it ranks highest in Conwy.
The name is also present throughout the remainder English speaking world: Canada (1,719th), New Zealand (3,094th), Australia (1,784th), and South Africa (18,753rd).

Fortnite week 5 challenges will be going live soon and it looks like the big Battle Pass tasks will be search between a giant rock man as well as dance water tower.
It's that time of the week when new Fortnite challenges are set to go live on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, PC and Macs.
The Fortnite week 5 challenges are set to go live on Thursday January 3 and thanks to dataminers we have a good idea of what to expect.
As per usual, a list of leaked Fortnite season 7 challenges have emerged ahead of the new week 5 Battle Pass tasks going live.
And it looks like the big Fortnite week 5 challenges will be a new search between task and a dance on top of challenge.
Search between a giant rock man, a crowned tomato and an encircled tree is allegedly one of the paid-for Battle Pass tasks for Fortnite week 5.
While dance on top of a water tower, ranger tower and air traffic control tower is allegedly one of the free Fortnite week 5 challenges.
This list of Fortnite week 5 season 7 challenges - as with other leaked Battle Pass tasks - was obtained from in-game files.
So they invariably turn out to be true but Epic Games have been known to swap out certain leaked challenges in the past.


I picked up plenty of new ideas at the recently concluded annual meeting of the American Association of Geographers in San Francisco.
In addition to the scholarly sessions that served abundant intellectual fodder, the city streets also made me think, yet again, about one particular issue — the homeless.
The Hilton at Union Square was the geographers' main venue. Every time I walked just a block from the hotel, away from the touristy trolley car station, it was depressing to see homeless men and women of all ages. It was a bizarre juxtaposition of affluence and privation.

"CHASING" AT ITS BEST, THE CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL
January 27, 2015 by Bill Shanklin Leave a Comment
For most of the year in Great Britain, flat racing gets the headlines, particularly in June for Derby Day at Epsom Downs and later in the month for Royal Ascot at Ascot Racecourse. However, the steeplechasers or simply "chasers" get their time in the spotlight during The Festival at Cheltenham in March and the Grand National at Aintree in April.
The 2015 Cheltenham Festival is fast approaching on March 10-13.
The Cheltenham Gold Cup, featured on the final day of The Festival, is a Group 1 National Hunt race for horses five-years-old and up. It is the most prestigious steeplechase race in Great Britain and typically draws 35 international entries that must clear 22 jumps over the course of 3 miles and 2 1/2 furlongs.
The Gold Cup dates back to 1819, when it began as a flat race on Cleeve Hill, situated above the current racing ground. The owner of the first winner, Spectre, received 100 guineas, British coins of the time. (Each coin contained approximately one-quarter ounce of gold.) One hundred five years later, in 1924, the Cheltenham Gold Cup was changed to a jumps race carrying prize money of £685. The race has been run almost continuously, with the exception of a number of cancellations necessitated by factors like war and flooding.
The 2014 renewal of the race was worth £550,000 and the Irish longshot Lord Windermere prevailed in a thrilling duel by a head. He was trained by Jim Culloty, who as a jockey piloted Best Mate to three Cheltenham Gold Cup wins. Lord Windermere survived a stewards' inquiry after veering in on the second-place finisher On His Own. The stewards took 15 minutes before finally deciding to leave the results unaltered.
The first three finishers in the 2014 rendition all went off at double-digit odds; 20/1, 16/1. and 14/1, respectively.
According to PaddyPower, the top six horses–and their odds–for the 2015 renewal are currently:
Silviniaco Conte (3/1); Road to Riches (8/1); Many Clouds (10/1); Lord Windermere (12/1); Holywell (12/1), and Bobs Worth, (14/1). Previous Cheltenham Gold Cup winners Lord Windermere and Bobs Worth are at enticing odds and six horses are 50/1 or higher.
The Cheltenham Festival offers world-class betting races every day leading up to the acclaimed Cheltenham Gold Cup. In the United Kingdom, it is a time for socializing and enjoying the tradition of watching and betting on the best "chasers."

Titans sign linebacker Victor Ochi, cornerback Manny Abad
By - Associated Press - Tuesday, June 13, 2017
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans have signed outside linebacker Victor Ochi and cornerback Manny Abad.
To make room on the roster for Ochi and Abad, the Titans released cornerback Trevon Hartfield and defensive end Caushaud Lyons.
Ochi, who is 6-foot-1 and 242 pounds, played two games for the New York Jets last season before finishing the year on the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad. Ochi originally signed with the Baltimore Ravens last year as an undrafted free agent from Stony Brook, where he recorded 32 ½ career sacks.
Abad participated in the Titans' rookie minicamp this year on a tryout basis. Abad, who is 5-11 and 184 pounds, had seven interceptions in his college career at Florida Tech.

Food for Thought: Organic Food Act Doesn't Preempt Certain State Law Mislabeling Claims
Mass Tort and Product Liability | December 7, 2015
Mark A. Neubauer
Quesada v. Herb Thyme Farms, Inc., 62 Cal.4th 298 (Cal. 2015)
On December 3, 2015, the California Supreme Court unanimously held that state law claims of intentional mislabeling of produce as organic are not preempted by the Organic Food Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. §§ 6501-6522). In Quesada v. Herb Thyme Farms, Inc., plaintiff alleged the "Fresh Organic" label was misleading because the packages include herbs processed from both USDA-certified organically processed farms as well as conventional non-organic farms. While the Organic Food Act regulates organic labeling, the California Supreme Court interpreted the Act's mislabeling sanctions narrowly, finding that because Congress used express language preempting matters relating to organic product processing, but no similar "language of exclusivity" for organic labeling misuses, state law claims and remedies can survive. In fact, the court went a step further by finding such state law claims promote, rather than hinder, Congress' intent to play a more peripheral role in food labeling oversight – a longstanding matter of local concern.
Federal preemption has often been a defense to consumer class actions. The weakness of the Organic Food Act in not clearly preempting state law may be unique to that statute. But consumer goods manufacturers and distributors should expect more fights over the federal preemption defense. Whether this ruling will be limited to just that federal act or will have broader implications remains to be seen.
This new decision opens the door for other state law organic mislabeling claims. Consumer goods manufacturers should expect even more litigation over advertising statements—and review their labels with that in mind. Ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court will have the last word.

Nintendo Wii U production may end by March 2018, says Kimishima
Brittany A. Roston - Apr 27, 2016, 2:33 pm CDT
Nintendo may end production for the Wii U by March 2018, says Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima. The news comes on the heels of Nintendo's next-generation NX announcement, as well as the company's financial estimates. Nintendo anticipates its operating profits will rise over the coming year, increasing 36.9-percent by March 2017, banking on both a new console and smartphone games to help with the financial push.
We still don't know much about Nintendo's planned upcoming console, codenamed NX, though rumors about it (and a handful of fake pictures) have surfaced over past months. Nintendo announced today that it will release the NX across the globe in March 2017 — no other official details, including a formal name, were given.
The launch of a new console will spell the end of the Nintendo Wii U — something that has largely flatlined over its relatively short life, and that will be even less desirable once a new option is available. It isn't exactly clear how long Nintendo plans to keep producing the Wii U — we've heard word that it could end as early as this year — but company President Kimishima gave a very rough time frame today.
Kimishima said that Nintendo might cease production of the Wii U by March 2018, giving it one year of life after the launch of NX. It's certainly not a resolute statement, though, and so it shouldn't be taken too concretely. Before the new console arrives, Nintendo plans to launch four mobile games — ones that are actual proper games, not social disappointments like Miitomo. Two of those four games are set to arrive by this upcoming autumn.
Nintendo should adopt The Pokemon Company's attitude toward mobile devices
Nintendo's official Star Fox anime comes to YouTube
Nintendo's Miitomo app is getting Splatoon-themed items
Nintendo NX to launch in March 2017 and skip E3

Lawsuit: Iran Used US Dollars to Fund Terrorist Attacks Against US Troops
Josh Gay
A new lawsuit seeks to hold Iran responsible for terror attacks against US troops in Iraq. Filed in Washington, DC on May 15th, the lawsuit (Holladay, et al. v. Iran) alleges that at least 16 attacks on US troops in Iraq were carried out by "agents of Iran and involving Iranian-supplied munitions and weapons."
The thirty-four plaintiffs were injured, directly or indirectly, in peacekeeping efforts during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The suit alleges that during those efforts, "Iran recruited, trained, and financed Iraqi terrorists, providing the most deadly IED's used against US troops and paying bounties to terrorists who killed US civilians and soldiers."
The suit is being brought by MM~Law, a firm that represents "victims of terrorism, genocide, torture, and human trafficking." Iran has a long history of bankrolling terrorist acts and MM~Law is helping veterans and Gold Star families fight back. However, to finance attacks, Iran had help from foreign banks and even used American dollars to complete their transactions.
MM~Law's site, IraqWarFund.com details the abhorrent way that US dollars were used to fund terrorist attacks against American soldiers:
"To date, nine foreign banks have admitted to entering into criminal conspiracies with Iran to provide it with billions of dollars in violation of U.S. and international laws—all while knowing Iran was a "State Sponsor of Terrorism" and a leading source of American injuries and casualties in the Iraq War.
Iran needed hard cash — U.S. dollars — to pay bounties to terrorists attacking civilians and U.S. and coalition forces as well as recruiting, training, arming, commanding and funding Shia and Sunni terrorist organizations engaged in murdering U.S. Soldiers and Citizen-contractors in Iraq.
The banks' conspiracy with Iran facilitated the attacks responsible for the majority of U.S. casualties in Iraq between 2003 and 2011, killing and grievously wounding tens of thousands of Americans."
Mike Papantonio of America's Lawyer addressed the banks' role in the suit:
"The key is to show where the money originated; which international banks participated in washing and legitimizing that money; what part of a terrorists entity received that money; and what individuals were killed and crippled in the use of that money."
(Story Continues After Video)
Mike Papantonio's firm, Levin, Papantonio, Thomas, Mitchell, Rafferty & Proctor, P.A., along with six other law firms, are named as co-counsel in the case and are expected to play a major role in the litigation of these claims.
Christopher Paulos, attorney with Levin Papantonio said in a press release:
"The attacks committed by criminal groups within Iraq utilized Iranian-trained individuals armed with Iranian-manufactured or provided weapons, and were financed and directed by Iran. We intend to pursue Iran and its agents, as well as its co-conspirators, using US laws to hold those responsible for committing or materially supporting Iran's efforts, without which our clients would not have been attacked and injured."
This suit would not be the first time Iran has been held legally responsible for their terror-related acts. One of the first suits was brought by Steve Flatow, who lost his daughter, Alisa, in a 1995 bus bombing in the Gaza Strip. The attack was carried out by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a group directly funded by Iran. In 1998, Flatow won a $250 million verdict against Iran.
Since then, a renewed focus has been brought to holding foreign entities responsible for their roles in terrorist attacks. Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that Iran's central bank had to pay out almost $2 billion for sponsoring attacks like the 1983 attack on a Marine Corps bombing in Lebanon which killed 241 service members.
In November of last year, Congress voted to override President Obama's veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), which allows lawsuits to be brought against a country, even if they are not declared a "state sponsor of terrorism." The first suit brought under JASTA, seeks to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for their efforts to fund the terrorists that carried out the 9/11 attacks.
If successful in their case, the plaintiffs may be paid from a $8.83 billion fine levied against the French bank, BNP Paribas. BNP plead guilty to assisting the Sudanese, Cuban, and Iranian governments in violating US sanctions by facilitating falsified financial transfers. That fund has already been used to compensate the victims of the US Embassy bombings in 1998 and to the fifty-two hostages taken in Tehran in 1979.
Those that wish to determine if their injuries might have been the result of wrongful conduct by Iran can visit IraqWarFund.com or visit the Iraq War Fund Facebook page.
