\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}
\noindent
High-mass $\gamma$-ray binaries (HMGBs)
 consist of a compact object
(a black hole or a neutron star) and a massive B- or O-type companion
(see \citealt{dubus2013}
for a review). If the compact object is a rotation-powered
(non-accreting) pulsar, the collision of the relativistic
pulsar wind with the companion's wind produces
a shock, and the
shocked wind(s) generate synchrotron and inverse Compton (IC) emission from the
radio to TeV $\gamma$-rays \citep{tavani1997}. Observations of this emission allow one to
study the properties of the winds and the binary companions.

Particularly interesting for such studies is the
 PSR\,B1259--63/LS\,2883 binary (B1259 hereafter),
one of only two  HMGBs in which a
rotation-powered pulsar has been detected\footnote{
The second
such binary, PSR\,J2023+4127/MT91\,213, was identified
by \cite{lyne2015}. Its binary period of $\sim 50$ years is, however, too long to study the orbital dependence in our lifetime.}.
 PSR\,B1259--63 has the
following properties: period $P=48$ ms,
characteristic age $\tau=330$ kyr,
spin-down power $\dot{E}=8.3\times 10^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$, and distance
$d\approx 2.7$ kpc.
The pulsar's companion, LS\,2883, is a fast-rotating O9.5Ve star, with mass $M_*\sim 30 M_\odot$,
luminosity
$L_*=6.3\times 10^4 L_\odot$,
and an equatorial
disk inclined at $\approx 35^\circ$ to the orbital plane (see \citealt{negueruela2011}).
The results of the VLBI astrometry \citep{miller-jones2018}, combined with
high-precision pulsar timing \citep{shannon2014}, have provided a full orbital
solution for the binary system, including
orbital period $P_{\rm orb}=1236.7$ days,
 eccentricity $e=0.87$,  semimajor axis $a\simeq6$ AU,  inclination angle
$i\simeq 154^\circ$, and longitude of the ascending node $\Omega \simeq 189^\circ$.

Multi-epoch observations of B1259 with numerous X-ray observatories have
revealed binary phase dependences of its flux, photon index, and absorption
column density,
with particularly large variations
within a
(--20,+30) days interval
 around periastron passages \citep{chernyakova2015}.
AGILE,  Fermi and H.E.S.S.\ observations have shown that the
passages of 3 consecutive periastrons
(2010 Dec 14, 2014 May 5, 2017 Sep 22)
were accompanied by strong
$\gamma$-ray flares, which had no
counterparts at lower energies (see \citealt{tavani2010}, \citealt{abdo2011},
\citealt{hess2013}, \citealt{chernyakova2015}, \citealt{johnson2018}).
Unexpectedly, the flares
occurred within 30--70 day intervals {\it after} peristron passages (10--50
 days  after
the pulsar passed through the stellar disk).
Based on observations of H$\alpha$ lines, whose equivalent widths allow one
to estimate the mass of the equatorial disk of the O star,
it was suggested in \cite{chernyakova2014} that the GeV flares are associated with
 partial destruction of the disk by the passing pulsar.
The flares could be produced by
IC emission from interactions between the pulsar wind and the stellar
photons \citep{khangulyan2012} or by Doppler boosting of synchrotron radiation from
the termination shocks in the pulsar wind colliding with the fragments of the destroyed disk \citep{kong2012}.
The competing
models are
still rather uncertain and cannot explain all the observed features.
However, since a fragment of the destroyed disk could be ejected from the binary,
detection and study of such fragments could provide a clue for understanding
the dramatic variations of electromagnetic radiation from B1259 around the
periastron passages, particularly the $\gamma$-ray flares.
In this work we describe the main properties of the X-ray emitting ejecta detected
in a series of high-resolution  Chandra observations during 2 binary cycles.
Observations in the 2010-2014 binary cycle have been reported by \cite{kargaltsev2014} and \cite{pavlov2015}, while details of the 2014-2017 cycle observations and their analysis
will be presented in a separate publication.

\end{figure*}

\section{Observations and analysis of fast-moving ejecta}
\label{sec:2}
A southward extension in the B1259 X-ray image was first noticed by \cite{pavlov2011}
in a 28 ks Chandra ACIS-I observation taken on 2009 May 14, when the binary was close to its apastron ($\Delta t = 667$ days after periastron passage).
ACIS-I observations in the 2010-2014 cycle were taken at $\Delta t = 370$, 886 and 1151 days after periastron passage. Each of them showed
an extended source
with a characteristic size of $3''$ ($\approx 10^{17}$ cm at $d=2.7$ kpc) at progressively larger distances from the binary (see the upper panels of Fig.\ \ref{clumps}).
Assuming that it was the same source  moving south-southwest from the binary
(i.e., along the major axis of the binary orbit in the periastron-apastron direction) with a constant velocity,
its projected velocity and launch time were
 $v_\perp = (0.07\pm0.01)\,c$ and $t_{\rm launch}=-20^{+120}_{-160}$ days, where $t_{\rm launch}=0$ corresponds to the time of periastron passage (see Fig.\ \ref{separations-flux}, left panel).
The 0.5--8 keV luminosity of the source was decreasing from
$8\times 10^{31}$ to
$2\times 10^{31}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (at $d=2.7$ kpc), but the hard spectrum
of the fading source
(photon index $\Gamma\approx 1.2$)
did not show any softening.
The
source was
interpreted as a clump of stellar disk matter
ejected
from the binary through the interaction of the
pulsar
with the O-star's disk around the 2010 periastron
(possibly at the time of the $\gamma$-ray flare);
its X-ray emission could be due to synchrotron radiation of
the shocked pulsar
wind \citep{pavlov2015}.
Hydrodynamical simulations of clump ejection were presented in \cite{barkov2016}.

To check repeatability of the discovered phenomenon and better understand the clump's properties,
we again observed B1259 in the 2014-2017 binary cycle with the same observational setup and exposure times of about 70 ks.
Five observations
at $\Delta t = 352$, 620, 978, 1086, and 1175 days from the  2014
periastron
again showed a clump
apparently moving in the same direction (see the lower panels in Fig.\ \ref{clumps}, where the images from 3 later observations are shown).
However, the clump became discernible only at the second observation.
Moreover, fitting the clump separations from the binary with a linear function of time, we obtained $v_\perp = (0.12\pm 0.02)\,c$ and $t_{\rm launch} = 420^{+78}_{-103}$ days. This places the launch time far after the periastron passage and
after passage through the
stellar disk (see Fig.\ \ref{separations-flux}, left panel).
To reconcile the time dependence of the clump separation from the binary
with the plausible assumption that it was launched near periastron,
we have to include an acceleration term in the separation versus time fit,
which gives
an acceleration $a=49\pm 2$ cm s$^{-2}=15,400\pm 600$ (km/s)\,yr$^{-1}$ (Fig.\ \ref{separations-flux}, left panel).

\begin{figure*}[t]

 }
\label{separations-flux}
\end{figure*}

 These observations also showed puzzling variations of the clump's
shape and flux at larger $\Delta t$ (see the lower panels in Fig.\ \ref{clumps}),
such as the narrow structure stretched
perpendicular to the apparent velocity direction (which we call ``whiskers'')
in the third observation
and, in particular,
the unexpected brightening
by a factor of 1.8 in the fourth observation.
Another unexpected feature was evident in the fourth observation:
 an additional clump adjacent to the binary, which disappeared in the fifth
observation.

The evolution of the 0.5--8 keV clump flux values in the two binary cycles is shown in Figure \ref{separations-flux} (right panel). The corresponding clump luminosities vary in the range of (2--$8)\times 10^{31}$ erg s$^{-1}$, or $\sim1\%$--3\% of the
(variable) binary luminosity in the same energy range.
The clump spectra could be described by a power-law model in each of the cycles, with photon indices in the range $\Gamma\approx 1.0$--1.6, with a mean value of about 1.4.

\section{Summary and discussion}
\label{discussion}
\subsection{Summary of observational results}
\label{summary}
Our main findings from the 8
high-resolution Chandra observations of B1259 can be briefly summarized as follows.
\begin{itemize}
\item B1259 ejects clumps of X-ray emitting matter along the periastron-apastron directions, at least one clump per binary period.
\item A typical
observed size of the resolved clumps
is about $3''$ ($\sim 10^{17}$ cm). The clumps were
detected up to at least $8''$ from the binary. They showed significant shape
(and size) variations, particularly in the 2014-2017 binary cycle.
\item The apparent velocities $v_\perp$ of the two clumps detected in the 2010-2014 and 2014-2017
cycles were around 10\% of the speed of light.
\item
Assuming that the clump travels at constant velocity in a given binary cycle,
its launch time was close to the
2010 periastron in the 2010-2014 cycle, but it was $\sim 400$ days after the
2014 periastron in the 2014-2017 cycle, in which $v_\perp$ was a factor of 1.7 higher.
\item The assumption that the clumps are launched around the nearest preceding periastrons requires a significant acceleration, $\sim 50$\,cm\,s$^{-2}$, in the 2014-2017 cycle.
\item
The clump detected in the 2010-2014 cycle faded
with increasing separation from the binary, while the 2014-2017 cycle clump showed a factor of
1.8 brightening in one of the observations.
\item The clump spectra did not show significant slope variations with time, despite the varying flux.
\item
An additional clump was detected in the binary vicinity in one of the 2014-2017 observations, but it disappeared
by the next observation 89 days later.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Inferences from the clump obervations}

\label{implications}
A detailed analysis of the observational results will be presented elsewhere. Here we only briefly mention the most important inferences.
\paragraph{Repeatability.} In each of the two binary cycles covered by our observations we saw a relatively bright clump moving in the same direction.
However, the different temporal dependences of the clump-binary separation
(Fig.\ \ref{separations-flux}, left) suggest that either the clumps were launched at different binary phases and with different velocities or, if they leave the binary at the same phase (e.g., at periastron), they move with different accelerations. The evolution of the clump shape is noticeably different in the two cycles (Fig.\ \ref{clumps}).  The measured X-ray flux values were similar in the two cycles, but their temporal behavior was different (Fig.\ \ref{separations-flux}, right). The lack of full repeatability
could be due to the turbulent nature of disk fragmentation and
the interaction of the pulsar wind with the stellar wind
\citep{barkov2016}.

 \paragraph{The nature of the clump X-ray emission.}
The power-law spectra of the clumps suggest that their emission was produced by
relativistic electrons, likely
supplied by the pulsar. Possible emission mechanisms are synchrotron radiation in the clump's magnetic field and
IC scattering of UV photons from the luminous high-mass companion off the relativistic electrons.
For the IC up-scattering of $\sim 10$ eV photons to X-ray energies, the Lorentz factors of the relativistic electrons should be $\gamma\sim 10$--30. To provide the observed X-ray flux with so low $\gamma$,
about $10^{50}$ simultaneously emitting electrons is required,
which is too large a number to be supplied by the pulsar
or stellar wind.
Therefore, we conclude that the clump X-rays are emitted by the synchrotron mechanism. For a reasonable magnetic field $B\sim 10$--100 $\mu$G, the Lorentz factors of the X-ray emitting electrons should be in the range $\gamma \sim (0.3$--$3)\times 10^8$. Such parameters are consistent with the lack of synchrotron cooling on a 1000 days timescale.

\paragraph{Clump motion and evolution.}
In both binary cycles the clumps were moving in the periastron-apastron direction.
A lack of any deceleration of the clumps
implies an exremely low density of the ambient medium (unless the clump is unrealistically heavy) \citep{kargaltsev2014,pavlov2015}. Such a medium could be created by the pulsar wind, which sweeps out the matter of the stellar wind bubble in a cone confined by the shock that separates the colliding stellar and
pulsar winds \citep{tavani1997,bogovalov2008}.
Although this cone rotates around the massive star together with the pulsar,
the cone's axis is close to the periastron-apastron
direction during most part of the very eccentric orbit, creating a low-density channel, which explains the ejection direction
\citep{barkov2016}. Moreover, the pulsar wind pressure can accelerate the clump, even when it is at large distances from the binary \citep{pavlov2015}. The apparent acceleration in the 2014-2017 cycle can be reached for  clump masses $m_{\rm cl}\lower4pt \hbox{$\buildrel < \over \sim$} 10^{23}$\,g.

\paragraph{Conclusion.} The clumps are likely composed of a mixture of stellar matter with the
shocked pulsar wind.
They are formed by the complex interaction of the stellar and pulsar winds.
Formation and initial acceleration of the clumps can be closely connected with the post-periastron $\gamma$-ray flares, but this connection is not certain yet.
The X-ray emitting electrons could be accelerated to $\gamma\sim 10^8$ in shocks or by magnetic field reconnection.
The reconnection in the turbulent clump plasma could be responsible for the observed brightening.

Going Underground: A Visual Response to the Impending Badger Cull
Network for Animals
20 May, 2013, 17:22 BST
Activists echo the distress of wounded and dying badgers underground to highlight the brutal reality of the impending badger cull (PRNewsFoto/Network for Animals)
LONDON, May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The Artful Badger in collaboration with Martin Usborne and Network for Animals (NFA) has staged an underground 'die-in' to highlight the plight of thousands of badgers due to be shot in England on June 1st.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130520/613975 )
The die-in, a dramatic display of massacred beauty in symbolic locations of our city's underground, is a response to the Government's plans to shoot thousands of badgers in a misguided attempt to tackle TB in cattle. Just like the badgers who will retreat, wounded, to their setts to die, our 'beautiful badgers' echoed their distress in our underground world.
The cull is intended to tackle the problem of bTB in two pilot areas of West Somerset and West Gloucestershire before being rolled out across the country, despite the fact that evidence from a ten-year study of badger culling concluded this method would only provide a 12-16% reduction in bTB in a best case scenario.
The pilot culls will see mainly healthy badgers lured to bait points during the night and shot with high-velocity rifles. We call the efficacy and humaneness of this 'free shooting' method into question and wish to highlight the brutal reality of a cull which will see thousands of badgers injured or killed and cubs left orphaned underground in their setts.
Christina Dixon, Campaigner at NFA, says, "Many badgers will be killed outright, but others will retreat underground to die painfully in their setts. This wanton cruelty towards wildlife is not the solution. Effective biosecurity, improved animal husbandry and cattle vaccination are the only sustainable options for tackling bTB. Anything else is just a shot in the dark."
The Artful Badger is a live arts and entertainment company providing bespoke events, using fresh and exciting experimental concepts to entertain crowds around Europe.

Network for Animals is a non-profit organisation founded by veteran animal welfare activist Brian Davies. Via the campaign site http://www.shootinginthedark.org NFA is involved in mobilising opposition to the cull and funding badger vaccination projects.
Martin Usborne is a photographer and blogger currently working on a project entitled 'A Year to Help' in which he is trying to save as many animals as possible in one year. http://www.yeartohelp.com/

Portee v. Jones
DANIEL C. PORTEE, Plaintiff,
RHONDA JONES, et al. Defendants.
KAREN K. CALDWELL, CHIEF JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
Plaintiff Daniel C. Portee is an inmate currently confined at the United States Penitentiary-Coleman I in Coleman, Florida. Proceeding without an attorney, Portee filed a civil rights action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) against prison officials at United States Penitentiary-McCreary ("USP-McCreary") in Pine Knot, Kentucky. [R. 1] Portee's claims against Defendants Lt. Long and Acting Lieutenant Reams were previously dismissed by separate Court Orders. [R. 41, 45] Defendants Rhonda Jones, Christopher Davis, T. Cimarossa, Janice Keith, Elizabeth Barnes, Maria Marreo, and Stephine Sumner (collectively, "Defendants"), by counsel, have filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, motion for summary judgment with respect to Portee's remaining claims. [R. 49] Pursuant to the Court's Order entered March 29, 2019, Portee was required to file a response to Defendants' motion on or before April 15, 2019. [R. 54] However, that time period has now expired, and no response has been filed by Portee. Thus, this matter is ripe for review.
The allegations of Portee's complaint are unclear, somewhat repetitive, and confusingly labeled. However, Portee's complaint generally relates to his medical treatment, including the management of his pain and his use of a four-wheeled walker with a seat, while he was incarcerated at USP-McCreary.
Specifically, Portee asserts the following claims: 1) Defendant Jones acted with deliberate indifference to Portee's serious medical needs in violation of Portee's rights under the Eighth Amendment by failing to provide Portee with a prescribed medical treatment, specifically a four-wheel walker with a seat that was operational and safe to use for its intended purposes [R. 1 at p. 3-9, "Factual Allegations, " Count I, ¶¶ 9-50, 175-177]; 2) Defendant Jones' failure to provide Portee with the appropriate full-size four-wheel walker with a seat to accommodate his size and weight violated Portee's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act ("RA"), 29 U.S.C. § 794 [R. 1 at p. 9-10, "Factual Allegations, " Count II, ¶¶ 51-52]; 3) Defendants Jones, Cimarossa, Keith, Barnes, Davis and Marrero violated Portee's Eighth Amendment rights in multiple ways, including by failing to provide him with pain medication for injuries Portee sustained to his head, left elbow, and lower back when Portee was housed at another Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") facility, failing to provide medication for sleep and memory issues, and failing to provide treatment for his reports of rectal bleeding [R. 1 at p. 10-20, "Factual Allegations, " Count III, ¶¶ 54-115]; 4) Defendants Jones, Davis, Cimarossa, Keith, and Marreo violated Portee's Eighth Amendment rights in various ways, including by misleading Portee to believe that he would be seen by a medical provider or physician to address his medical concerns, denying Portee adequate pain medication, denying Portee's sick call requests to see a physician for follow-up medical treatment, refusing to address Portee's medical concerns, denying Portee outside medical testing of an EMG, and denying Portee's use of his four-wheel walker with seat [R. 1 at p. 20-25, "Causes of Action, " Count I, ¶¶ 116-147]; 5) On October 5, 2015, Defendant Sumner violated Portee's Eighth Amendment rights by issuing Portee disciplinary charges for being in an unauthorized area [R. 1 at p. 26-30, "Causes of Action, " Count II, ¶¶ 160-167; Count III, p. 32, ¶¶ 183-84]; and 6) Defendants Jones and Sumner violated Portee's rights under the ADA and RA in relation to Portee's use of a four-wheeled walker with seat [R. 1 at p. 31-32, "Causes of Action, " Count II, ¶¶ 178-182].
Thus, in sum, Portee asserts various Eighth Amendment claims related to his medical care (numbers 1, 3, and 4 listed above), claims under the ADA and RA related to his use of a four-wheeled walker with seat (numbers 2 and 6 above), and claims under the Eighth Amendment related to disciplinary charges (number 5 above). As relief, Portee seeks "normal, compensatory, and punitive damages, " as well as "all other just and equitable relief that this Honorable Court deems necessary." [R. 1 at p. 33]
In their motion, Defendants argue that Portee's complaint should be dismissed because it is untimely; Portee fails to state a claim for which relief may be granted for violation of the First and Eighth Amendments, as well as for violation of the ADA and/or RA; Defendants Cimarossa and Davis are entitled to statutory immunity; and all of the Defendants are entitled to qualified immunity. [R. 49-1] In the alternative, Defendants seek summary judgment. [Id.]
Before addressing the merits of Defendants' motion, the Court notes that, on February 6, 2019, the Court entered an order directing Portee to file a response to Defendants' motion within 45 days and specifically warned him that, if he failed to do so, the Court may dismiss his case for failure to prosecute, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b), or grant Defendants' motion for any reason adequately supported by the record, see Carver v. Bunch, 946 F.2d 451, 454-55 (6th Cir. 1991). [R. 50]. On March 26, 2019, after a copy of the Court's Order denying Portee's "motion to stay/motion for appointment of counselor" was returned as undeliverable [R. 52, 53], the Court entered an Order noting that, although Portee had not updated his address of record with the Court, a review of the BOP's "Inmate Locater" website showed that Portee had been transferred to USP-Coleman I. [R. 54][1] Thus, in light of these circumstances, the Court directed that the Clerk of the Court update Portee's address of record and sua sponte extended the time by which Portee must file his response through and including April 15, 2019. [Id.]
Portee's extended response deadline has now expired, and Portee has not filed any response to Defendants' motion. Portee was specifically warned that his failure to file a response may result in the dismissal of his case for failure to prosecute. Dismissal is generally warranted where the party fails to act in the face of a clear prior warning that the case would be dismissed. Bowles v. City of Cleveland, 129 Fed.Appx. 239, 244 (6th Cir. 2005). Thus, Portee's failure to respond alone would justify dismissal of his Complaint. Regardless, in the interest of completeness and finality, the Court will also consider the substantive arguments set forth by Defendants in their motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, motion for summary judgment.
A motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) tests the sufficiency of the plaintiff's complaint. Gardner v. Quicken Loans, Inc., 567 Fed.Appx. 362, 364 (6th Cir. 2014). When addressing a motion to dismiss, the Court views the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff and accepts as true all 'well-pleaded facts' in the complaint. D'Ambrosio v. Marino, 747 F.3d 378, 383 (6th Cir. 2014). Because Portee is proceeding without the benefit of an attorney, the Court reads his complaint to include all fairly and reasonably inferred claims. Davis v. Prison Health Servs., 679 F.3d 433, 437-38 (6th Cir. 2012).
Here, Defendants move both to dismiss and for summary judgment, attaching and relying upon declarations extrinsic to the pleadings in support of their motion. [R. 49] Thus, the Court will treat Defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint as a motion for summary judgment under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(d); Wysocki v. Int'l Bus. Mach. Corp., 607 F.3d 1102, 1104 (6th Cir. 2010). See also Ball v. Union Carbide Corp., 385 F.3d 713, 719 (6th Cir. 2004) (where defendant moves both to dismiss and for summary judgment, plaintiff is on notice that summary judgment is being requested, and the court's consideration as such is appropriate where the nonmovant submits documents and affidavits in opposition to summary judgment).
A motion under Rule 56 challenges the viability of another party's claim by asserting that at least one essential element of that claim is not supported by legally sufficient evidence. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 324-25 (1986). A party moving for summary judgment must establish that, even viewing the record in the light most favorable to the nonmovant, there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and that the party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Loyd v. St. Joseph Mercy Oakland, 766 F.3d 580, 588 (6th Cir. 2014). The burden then shifts to the nonmoving party to "come forward with some probative evidence to support its claim." Lansing Dairy, Inc. v. Espy, 39 F.3d 1339, 1347 (6th Cir.1994).
If the moving party demonstrates that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and that they are entitled to a judgment as a matter of law, that party is entitled to summary judgment. Kand Medical, Inc. v. Freund Medical Products, Inc., 963 F.2d 125, 127 (6th Cir. 1992). The moving party does not need its own evidence to support this assertion but need only point to the absence of evidence to support the claim. Turner v. City of Taylor, 412 F.3d 629, 638 (6th Cir. 2005). The responding party cannot rely upon allegations in the pleadings, but must point to evidence of record in affidavits, depositions, and written discovery which demonstrates that a factual question remains for trial. Hunley v. DuPont Auto, 341 F.3d 491, 496 (6th Cir. 2003); United States v. WRW Corp., 986 F.2d 138, 143 (6th Cir. 1993) ("A trial court is not required to speculate on which portion of the record the non-moving party relies, nor is there an obligation to 'wade through' the record for specific facts."). However, if the responding party's allegations are so clearly contradicted by the record that no reasonable jury could adopt them, the court need not accept them when determining whether summary judgment is warranted. Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372, 380 (2007). The Court must grant summary judgment if the evidence would not support a jury verdict for the responding party with respect to at least one essential element of his claim. Ford v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 251 (1986).
A. Timeliness of Portee's Eighth Amendment Claims
The Court agrees that at least some of Portee's Eighth Amendment claims alleging that various defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious health needs are untimely. Portee signed and mailed his complaint on January 6, 2017. [R. 1] Because the remedy afforded in a Bivens action is entirely judge-made, there is no statutory limitations period. Instead, federal courts apply the most analogous statute of limitations from the state where the events occurred. Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 268-71 (1985). The events about which Portee complains occurred in Kentucky; therefore, Kentucky's one-year statute of limitations for asserting personal injuries applies. Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1)(a); Hornback v. Lexington-Fayette Urban Co. Gov't., 543 Fed.Appx. 499, 501 (6th Cir. 2013); Mitchell v. Chapman, 343 F.3d 811, 825 (6th Cir. 2003) ("Bivens claims have a one year statute of limitations under Kentucky law.").
A claim accrues when the plaintiff becomes aware of the injury which forms the basis for his claims. Estate of Abdullah ex rel. Carswell v. Arena, 601 Fed.Appx. 389, 393-94 (6th Cir. 2015) ("Once the plaintiff knows he has been hurt and who has inflicted the injury, the claim accrues.") (internal quotation marks omitted) (citing United States v. Kubrick, 444 U.S. 111, 122 (1979)). Where, as here, the operative facts are not in dispute, the Court determines as a matter of law whether the statute of limitations has expired. Highland Park Ass'n of Businesses & Enterprises v. Abramson, 91 F.3d 143 (Table) (6th Cir. 1996) (citing Hall v. Musgrave, 517 F.2d 1163, 1164 (6th Cir.1975)). See also Fox v. DeSoto, 489 F.3d 227, 232 (6th Cir. 2007).
1. Portee's Eighth Amendment Claims Related to his Walker
With respect to Portee's Eighth Amendment claims related to his walker, Portee alleges that, prior to his arrival at USP-McCreary in December 2014, medical personnel had provided him with a four-wheel walker with a seat to assist him with walking and to provide him a seat when Portee's body felt unstable. [R. 1 at p. 3] According to Portee, on or about May 25, 2015, he showed Defendant Jones his walker and explained that it was unsafe and needed to be repaired or replaced. [Id. at p. 4] Portee alleges that, on or about July 8, 2015, he was issued a new walker that was much smaller and did not have a seat. [Id. at p. 5] Portee alleges that he complained to Jones that this walker was too small for his size and weight, but that she said that it was all she had in stock. [Id. at p. 5-6] He further states that, on July 14, 2015, he submitted a cop-out to Jones concerning the pain his new walker was causing him due to bolts that embedded into his thighs when he sat on the walker. [Id. at p. 6] He alleges that he exhausted his administrative remedies as it relates to the issues related to his walker in Administrative Remedy ID# 831281, which was denied by the Central Office on October 28, 2015. [Id. at p. 10]
         Portee became aware that his walker was allegedly too small and did not have a seat on July 8, 2015, the date that the walker was issued. However, construing Portee's claims broadly, at the very latest, Portee's claims related to his walker accrued (and the statute of limitations began to run) on July 14, 2015, the date that he alleges that he complained about his issues with the new walker to Jones. Before he could file suit, however, Portee was required to exhaust his administrative remedies available under the BOP's Inmate Grievance Program. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a); Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 205-07 (2007). When a claimant is required to exhaust such remedies before bringing suit, the limitations period is tolled while he or she does so, as long as such remedies are pursued diligently and in good faith. Brown v. Morgan, 209 F.3d 595, 596 (6th Cir. 2000). According to documents submitted by Defendants (and not contradicted by Portee), Portee's grievance related to his walker (later assigned Administrative Remedy ID# 831281) was accepted by the warden on August 6, 2015. [R. 49-2, Declaration of Robin Eads, ¶ 4, Att. B, SENTRY Report, Administrative Remedy Generalized Retrieval at p. 39, Page ID# 1538]. Although the limitations period began to run on July 14, 2015, it was tolled from August 6, 2015, through October 28, 2015, the date on which Portee's administrative remedy appeal was denied by the ...

Could Brexit result in a £2.8 billion cut for the NHS budget?
Athona Recruitment > News > Healthcare > Medical > Could Brexit result in a £2.8 billion cut for the NHS budget?
Independent charity The Health Foundation has warned that in the short term, the economic impact of quitting the EU could result in the government cutting the NHS budget for 2019/20 by £2.8 billion.
Simon Stevens, NHS England's chief executive, called for the government to honour their funding promises after Brexit.
"The public, regardless of how they voted, will rightly want our new political leaders to deliver on that promise," he said.
NHS Confederation chief executive Stephen Dalton said: 'The NHS is already facing multiple pressures from rising demand and cuts to social care. The current fiscal and political uncertainties are likely to stall plans for transforming how we plan and organise the delivery of NHS care.
'We have not yet seen any evidence which suggests the NHS will be better off as a result of leaving the EU and we urgently need political leaders to move on from ill-informed rhetoric about the NHS.
The uncertainty seems to be taking its toll on the NHS this week, with junior doctors striking over pay and unsafe contracts and rejecting the government's most recent contract offer.
Trained nurses and midwives are also protesting plans by the government to scrap student bursaries.

The multiplier and the multiplicand in each case are the factors of 58. The factors of 58 are 1, 2, 29, and 58.
Factors of 58 by Prime Factorization
The prime factorization of 58 refers to the method of expressing 58 as the product of its prime numbers.
The prime factorization of 58 is 58 = 2 × 29.
From the prime factorization of 58, it is clear that 2 and 29 are the prime factors of 58.
The number of factors that a particular number has can be found using the following steps:
Find the prime factorization of the number and express it in the exponent form.
Add 1 to each of the exponents.
Multiply all numbers that are obtained from step 2.
The resultant product would give the number of factors.
Factors of 58 in Pairs
The pair factors of 58 are obtained by writing 58 as a product of two numbers in all possible ways.
In each product, both the multiplicands are the pair factors of 58.
Product that Results in 58
(1, 58)
Every number (except 1) has a minimum of two factors, 1 and the number itself.
A prime number has exactly two factors.
A composite number has more than two factors.
Factors of 58 Solved Examples
Example 1: Emma is trying to arrange 58 matchsticks in rows such that each row has an equal number of matchsticks. But she doesn't want all the matchsticks to be in the same row or the same column. In how many ways can she arrange the matchsticks?
The factors of 58 are 1, 2, 29 and 58.
Since all the matchsticks cannot be in a single row or column, we will ignore the factors 1 and 58.
The other factors of 58 are 2 and 29.
Thus, she can arrange the matchsticks in 2 different ways.
Example 2: Nicolas was asked to find the common factors of 58 and 60. Can we help him with this?
The factors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60.
Thus, the common factors of 58 and 60 are 1 and 2.

Mullen: Balanced is goal, but playing to Gators' strengths is key
Robbie Andreu @RobbieAndreu
GAINESVILLE — Like most football coaches, Florida's Dan Mullen wants balance in his offense, the ability to consistently produce both on the ground and through the air.
In terms of play calling, the Gators have a near-perfect balance through four games this season. They've run the ball 130 times and passed it 127 times.
Balance.
But in terms of production, there is a significant imbalance. The Gators are throwing for 294.8 yards a game, while rushing for just 136.8, which ranks 12th in the SEC.
So far, Mullen has remained patient with the running game, hoping the young line matures and develops and eventually sets the running backs free.
But you have to wonder how long his patience will last before he chucks the running game and starts chucking the ball around more with his quarterbacks and a talented pool of receivers.
"I always want balance," Mullen said Wednesday. "But I'm not stubborn. I'd love to be 50-50 at the end of the year, but most of the years when you look at us, we tilt a little bit more one way or the other.
"A lot of that is we're going to build around the strength of our players and make sure our best guys are getting the ball in their hands. Also, we're going to take what the defense gives us."
In his 10-plus years as a head coach in the SEC, Mullen has won with balance, and he's won with imbalance.
The perception that he's always been a 50-50 guy with his offense is not quite accurate.
"I have no problem (not having perfect balance)," Mullen said. "In my time in this league we've led in time of possession and been last in time of possession. Had big rushing years, had big passing years.
"The job of a coach is to make sure you take your talent and put it in the best position to be successful against what people are doing to try and stop you. That's what coaching is, not to be stubborn and say we're only going to do things one way."
Based on UF's body of work through four games, the Gators appear headed for a big passing year. They're averaging almost 300 passing yards a game and quarterback Kyle Trask has shown an ability to find his talented receivers and spread the ball around.
In the win over Tennessee last Saturday, Trask threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns and completed passes to 10 different receivers.
While the Gators were flying free in the passing game, they were stagnant and stuck on the ground again. But Mullen didn't give up on the ground game, and the offense line eventually created some push. The Gators rushed for 71 yards in the fourth quarter after rushing for just 57 through the first three quarters.
"I think a little bit more of it was, we played great defense," Mullen said. "The ability for us to play great defense allowed us to continue to be patient with the running game. I don't think there was a time during the game where we abandoned the running game. I think when that happened as the game wore on, it just started to wear them down.
"All of a sudden, the two-, three- and four-yard gains became seven-, eight- and nine-yard gains, and then the running game starts to click. I think it was the patience and the fact that we had the lead and we were playing great defense allowed us to be patient with that and stick with it, and it finally started to kind of wear them down in the fourth quarter."
Mullen has been patient with his running game so far. But how long is that patience going to last if the Gators continue to struggle on the ground? In the meantime, Mullen is looking for more sound and consistent play out of his offensive line in hopes of getting the ground game going.
"We've got to execute cleaner along the line of scrimmage," he said. "At times, a couple times missed assignments (hurt us in the running game). You can't have missed assignments along the line of scrimmage. That's not going to help you."

'A Stunningly Corrupt Enterprise': Jordan Peterson Blasts Academia, Resigns As Tenured Professor At University of Toronto
By Ben Zeisloft
Jan 19, 2022 DailyWire.com

Canadian psychologist and bestselling author Jordan Peterson announced that he is no longer a tenured professor at the University of Toronto.
In an article for The National Post, Peterson — who recently sat down with Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro in the inaugural episode of "The Search" — pointed to the school's obsession with "Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity," which he abbreviated simply as "DIE."
"I had envisioned teaching and researching at the U of T, full time, until they had to haul my skeleton out of my office. I loved my job. And my students, undergraduates and graduates alike, were positively predisposed toward me," Peterson said. "But that career path was not meant to be."
Peterson voiced frustration that his "qualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students… face a negligible chance of being offered university research positions, despite stellar scientific dossiers" thanks to diversity mandates.
"These have been imposed universally in academia, despite the fact that university hiring committees had already done everything reasonable for all the years of my career, and then some, to ensure that no qualified 'minority' candidates were ever overlooked," he wrote. "My students are also partly unacceptable precisely because they are my students. I am academic persona non grata, because of my unacceptable philosophical positions. And this isn't just some inconvenience. These facts rendered my job morally untenable. How can I accept prospective researchers and train them in good conscience knowing their employment prospects to be minimal?"
Peterson pointed to other trends destroying academia "and, downstream, the general culture" — including the end of objective testing and "grievance studies" disciplines. He also observed that colleagues must bow to diversity mandates by crafting "DIE statements" to obtain research grants.
"They all lie (excepting the minority of true believers) and they teach their students to do the same. And they do it constantly, with various rationalizations and justifications, further corrupting what is already a stunningly corrupt enterprise," he mourned. "Some of my colleagues even allow themselves to undergo so-called anti-bias training, conducted by supremely unqualified Human Resources personnel, lecturing inanely and blithely and in an accusatory manner about theoretically all-pervasive racist/sexist/heterosexist attitudes. Such training is now often a precondition to occupy a faculty position on a hiring committee."
The problem extends far beyond the University of Toronto.
Peterson said that the accrediting boards for Canadian graduate clinical psychology training programs "are now planning to refuse to accredit university clinical programs unless they have a 'social justice' orientation." Also referring to Canada's "conversion therapy" ban, Peterson said that the practice of clinical psychology is effectively "doomed."
Peterson admonished executives, professors, and others capitulating to wokeness and permitting its advance in Western culture.
"And all of you going along with the DIE activists, whatever your reasons: this is on you," he warned. "Cowering cravenly in pretence and silence. Teaching your students to dissimulate and lie. To get along. As the walls crumble. For shame. CEOs: signalling a virtue you don't possess and shouldn't want to please a minority who literally live their lives by displeasure. You're evil capitalists, after all, and should be proud of it. At the moment, I can't tell if you're more reprehensibly timid even than the professors. Why the hell don't you banish the human resource DIE upstarts back to the more-appropriately-named Personnel departments, stop them from interfering with the psyches of you and your employees, and be done with it?"
"Musicians, artists, writers: stop bending your sacred and meritorious art to the demands of the propagandists before you fatally betray the spirit of your own intuition," he continued. "Stop censoring your thought. Stop saying you will hire for your orchestral and theatrical productions for any reason other than talent and excellence. That's all you have. That's all any of us have."
"He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. And the wind is rising."

Park West's successful landscape business had a paper problem. The 11 separate companies (including their headquarters) created paperwork havoc for their Accounts Payable (AP) Department. They required an electronic document management alternative that could meet their criteria to standardize the process for all 11 companies. They needed this at a price that would enable them to realize return on investment in a reasonable length of time.
This paper identifies important criteria for gathering user requirements for an EDMS project.


The No. 9 Hurricanes have the makings of a great team – talent on both offense and defense, big-play potential in the game's most pivotal moments and a win on their resume over rival Florida State for the first time since 2009.
But the talent on both sides of the ball can't seem to produce at the same time. Many of Miami's big plays have come at the last second after failing to close out the win earlier in the game. And although a victory over the Noles is always huge for the Canes, FSU has fallen three games below .500 for the first time since 1976.
Over the last four weeks, UM has won its games by a combined total of 18 points. Most top-tier teams have defeated at least one team alone by that margin. The national media and the AP Top 25 poll have noticed, dropping the Hurricanes one spot in the rankings after just a five-point victory over the 1-7 Tar Heels.
Even though Miami has a perfect 7-0 record nine weeks into the season, one question still remains: Are the Hurricanes a legitimate contender for the national championship?
Despite the team's inconsistencies, the answer is yes.
The difference between being recognized as the ninth best team in the nation and being unranked is just a few game minutes. Despite the close calls, Miami is still in the running for an ACC championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Richt is right. Throughout college football history, national championship teams have often had close calls during the season.
Just last year, the Clemson Tigers, led by star quarterback Deshaun Watson, had tough battles against unranked teams. They beat Troy 30-24 and NC State 24-17. Their one loss of the 2016 season was a 43-42 defeat to the 6-4 Pittsburgh Panthers.
Despite the nail-biting finishes, Clemson went on to beat Alabama to win the 2017 National Championship.
In Hurricanes football history, UM experienced tight victories against unranked teams and still ended up winning the national title by season's end.
In 1983, Miami lost 28-3 to the No. 16 Florida Gators the first week of the season. Even though the Canes went undefeated from that point on, they did have three marginal victories over unranked opponents, beating Cincinnati 17-7, East Carolina 12-7 and rival FSU 17-16.
The Hurricanes eventually upset No.1-ranked Nebraska 31-30 to win it all.
Starting quarterback Malik Rosier has acknowledged the team's hiccups so far this season but said he knows when it comes down to it, all that matters is the score.
The level of team camaraderie is also an indicator of a championship-caliber group.
With the Turnover Chain, a gold necklace that players are rewarded with when they recover a turnover, the Canes have brought back their trademark swagger to drive them on defense. Miami has performed well in that department, ranking No. 28 in the country in passes intercepted.
Even with the dramatic past four weeks for Hurricanes football, it is not impossible for the team to compete with top programs, such as Alabama and Georgia.
The key for Miami is to maintain its confidence but realize that certain areas need improvement to prevent the season from going awry.
The real test will come in the next couple weeks, when Miami faces off against two of the top teams in the country – No. 13 Virginia Tech and No. 5 Notre Dame. With pressures high, this is the make-or-break part of the Hurricanes' season.


The Agenda of the meeting is approved without any change.
The minutes of GA 2014 in Vienna are approved.
The activity report, being presented and discussed, is approved unanimously by the Assembly.
The financial report 2014 and the 2015 budget are unanimously approved. The Board is encouraged to go on with structural revision of the economic model in due time to elaborate the new economic model before 2016 budget is prepared.
The Board proposes that new Statutes are prepared and proposed for validation at the next GA. After an active discussion on the respective advantages of a presidential mandate of "2 years renewable once" or "four years non-renewable", members vote for "four years non-renewable" as preferred option. The President also proposes the nomination of two additional Board members, so that the term of all members does not start and end at the same moment. Following a suggestion by the Board, Alessandra Giuliani (Bern University, Switzerland) and Carolyn Glynn (SLU, Sweden) are unanimously elected to serve as Board members.
Following a call directly launched by the President, Luis Mira proposes to organise the GA 2016 in Lisbon. This proposal is approved by the Assembly and Michael Hauser thanks ISA and Luis Mira for their kind offer.
The time devoted to the GA being over, the President proposes to close the meeting and the Assembly gives him the power to take the necessary decisions with regard to the confirmation of the memberships currently in question (new members and members having not paid on the last two years).

Climate Justice is Migrant Justice: Connecting the dots and taking action on March 21st
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the #fridays4future #schoostrike4climate in Vancouver. This event was one of over 2,000 events worldwide in 125 countries, involving 1.5 million people.
It was truly inspirational. To hear the urgency, passion and anger in the voices of the young people was a stark contrast to the traditional climate denial and new climate denial that dominates the mainstream climate policy debate. Further, the environmental and climate justice analysis, as well as commitment to gender, class and racial equity of these high schoolers is light years ahead of where I was as a teenager. The kids call this analysis intersectionality.
As 15 -year-old school strike organizer Rebecca Hamilton stated on CBC's the Current, "It's important for me to recognize that climate change disproportionately affects those who least caused it."
There is increasing evidence that the climate crisis is taking the largest toll on vulnerable populations – including those in developing countries, people in poverty, Indigenous peoples, migrants and other marginalized groups. Understanding this is foundational for climate justice, and the youth at the Climate Strike get the picture.
For many of us, the inclusive and celebratory nature of the school strikes was somewhat overshadowed by the shocking news that morning of the Christchurch mosque terror attacks, where 50 innocent people were murdered by an anti-immigrant white supremacist in what can only be described as an act of terrorism. This heartbreaking tragedy was a reminder of how far we still need to go in combating racism and white supremacy.
Connecting the dots: migrant justice and environmental justice
You may be wondering why we are discussing racism on an environmental law blog. Well put simply, environmental justice, climate justice and migrant justice are inextricably connected.
Climate change is already one of the biggest causes of massive displacement and migration around the world. Indeed, the Syrian refugee crisis has been linked to the years of drought that helped trigger the civil war that led to the refugee crisis. Climate change causes social and economic instability that can lead to larger conflicts and mass migration.
Much of the displacement and migration happens within borders, whether in Bangladesh or in BC. In 2017, 85,000 people were relocated due to wildfires and extreme weather in Canada. And as forest fires, floods, droughts and storms become worse, that number will only increase.
Canada's global responsibility
Migration is natural and all migrants have human rights. That alone should be enough for Canadians to be accepting of migrants, particularly since anyone who isn't Indigenous to the land we call Canada is a migrant or a descendant of migrants.
In addition, along with other wealthy countries from the global north, we have an even greater responsibility to welcome migrants because Canada has burned more than its fair share of the globe's climate budget. Canadians have consistently been among the top greenhouse gas emitters per capita for a long time.
In other words, each individual Canadian has made an outsize contribution to the climate crisis, relative to our small population size. And as mentioned, in Canada and around the world, those who have done the least to fuel climate change, (Indigenous communities, people of color, and the poor) are usually the worst hit by its impacts.
What do we owe people displaced by climate chaos – or whose communities have been destroyed by industrial development, like the injustices committed by Canadian mining companies?
As a rich country, doing our fair share to address the global ecological crisis certainly requires slashing emissions at home (with far more ambition than we have mustered so far). It also means welcoming migrants and refugees to Canada, offering pathways to status for migrants already here, and – equally important – helping to finance climate transformation and preparedness in the global South.
After all, most of us don't want to leave our homes if we aren't forced to do so. Both climate and migrant justice require helping people to stay and thrive where they are, or to have the real option of returning home.
Canada's burgeoning yellow vest movement reared its ugly head last month when the United We Roll pro-pipeline convoy also brought anti-immigrant messages consistent with far-right populism around the world. If this is a battle between pro-pipeline racists, and anti-pipeline migrants, I know which team I'm on.
#UNITEAGAINSTRACISM – March 21 day of action
If you care about climate change, then you should care about migrant justice. That's why we are inviting our supporters to participate in a national day of action on March 21, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
On March 21, 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid pass laws in Sharpeville, South Africa. In 1966 the United Nations General Assembly called on the international community to mark this day with a commitment to end all forms of racial discrimination.
The day of action, organized by Canada's Migrant Workers Alliance for Change and the Migrant Rights Network, will have events across the country.
In Coast Salish Territories, the #UniteAgainstRacism event will take place from 6-8pm in the Alma VanDusen Room, at the Main Branch of the Vancouver Public Library (350 West Georgia Street, Vancouver). Click here to find a list of events in different communities.
The climate crisis affects everyone, but it disproportionately affects those who are least responsible for climate change and most vulnerable to the impacts. In order to achieve the scale of change that is needed to address the crisis we need to reach out beyond our silos and issues, because they are all interconnected. Environmentalists must unite with other allies, like Migrant Justice organizers, to inject climate action with an anti-racist analysis – and present a strong vision of how tackling multiple crises at once will make our economy and society better for all.

Time to upgrade those old smoke detectors.
Winter is the leading season for home fires according to the United States Fire Administration (USFA). The increased risk of house fires during the winter comes from multiple sources and it's important to be aware of all of them. Personal heating equipment, candles, holiday decorations, and holiday cooking all contribute to an increased risk of a house fire starting, so it's important to be aware of the different hazards and be careful. However, no matter how careful you are, sometimes there are factors outside of your control that can lead to a fire, that's when you need a home security system from Chesapeake System Services.
A drier fire starts in your basement, it quickly spreads in your laundry room, feeding off of the clothes and chemicals, but you're asleep upstairs, and the basement fire alarm isn't loud enough to be heard through two floors and closed doors. The National Fire Protection Associate (NFPA) reports that the majority of people who die from a house fire in the United States were found in different rooms then where the fire started. However, if you have smoke detectors connected to your Chesapeake System Services home control system and a fire starts all of the alarms are activated, allowing you and your family more time to escape your home. This can mean the difference getting your family safely out the door and being trapped and waiting for the fire department on the third floor.
You're at work and your children at school, meanwhile, unbeknownst to you, a squirrel has gotten into your attic and chewed through the wires to your ceiling lights. An electric fire has started at your home with no one to report it. By the time neighbors notice the flames licking at your roof and the damage has already been done. Chesapeake System Services fire alarms are not only connected to each other, to make sure the whole home is alerted in the instance of a fire, they're also monitored twenty-four hours a day, and connected to you via your e-mail or cell-phone. So now, when that pesky squirrel comes back for seconds, you and the fire department know about it right away.
Contact Chesapeake System Services, we're ready to provide quality customer service and install home monitoring and security solutions to any home in Maryland. We'll also help to integrate your new security system with mobile applications, like the Alarm.com app, so that you can manage your security system and be aware of your home's condition wherever you are.
