Part 4 What is Law & What is not Law?
Taking on the Corporations (Click here for index)
Part 4: What is Law & What is not law?
In this section I will discuss the most basic aspects of law, what it is, and what it is not...
First of all I would like to draw your attention to one distinct kind of Law:
At school, in general science, we learn, for example, about "The Law of Gravity".
Furthermore, at all times, day in and day out, in everything we do, we understand what The Law of Gravity means to us. We don't have any choice in the matter - it means that we are stuck to the surface of the Earth day and night. It means that, to leave the Earth's surface takes effort, for example jumping, and we will always return to the Earth's surface.
I have pointed this out because it is an excellent example of law. There are others like it, which we could discuss, but the point is that we can collectively call them "The Laws of Physics" or better still, "The Laws of the Universe".
They are inviolate.
They are incontrovertible.
They are implacable.
They apply at all times, to everyone and everything, without fear or favour.
They are LAWS in the truest sense of the word.
An important point to note is that humanity does not make laws. All our Scientists have ever been able to do is to 'discover' them; and, as far as possible, create mathematical formulae to express them.
The Laws of the Universe are also the Laws for People - simply because people are affected by the Laws of the Universe - just as much as anything else organic, and everything inorganic.
So what else falls into the category of Law?
Nothing really, but there is something that almost does and it's called Common Sense…
What's more, we do need some kind of system so as to enable people to "Live together, within a community, without too much acrimony". And most (if not all) of us know what that would entail by virtue of our Common Sense, for example we know more or less what upsets other people and we know what doesn't…
That 'knowing' by virtue of our in-built Common Sense, is known as The Common Law.
The Common Law is not, strictly speaking, written down – although its 'basics' can be, in the form:
1. Do not deliberately cause injury to another, and (as far as possible) take sufficient precaution such that it doesn't happen accidentally
2. Do not deliberately cause loss to another, and (as far as possible) take sufficient precaution such that it doesn't happen accidentally
3. Do not deliberately breach another's peace, and (as far as possible) take sufficient precaution such that it doesn't happen accidentally
4. Do not employ any mischief in your promises, agreements, and arrangements.
Common Sense forms our Common Law – which is also known as legem terrae in Latin, or "The Law-of-the-Land" in English. And Our Law, our Common Law, is almost as inviolate, incontrovertible, implacable, applicable at all times, to everyone, without fear or favour - as are the Laws of the Universe.
That's Law, what it is, and where it comes from.
How it is applied, within common law, is by means of Juries of 12 ordinary people, listening to facts, and making a combined decision called a 'Verdict'. And that's the only difference, in practice, between The Common Law and the Laws of the Universe. In the latter case; no Jury, no vote, no opinion is required – e.g. things fall downwards, and that's all there is to it.
(It should also be noted that the crime of murder is a Common Law crime. Thus to disavow the Common Law, disavows the crime of murder. The consequence would be that someone could pre-meditate to take the life of another (without, necessarily, requiring any reason whatsoever), and no crime would have been committed in that a circumstance. This is the absurd position we would all be in, without the protection of the Common Law.)
Distinguishing between law and non-law
We discussed statutes in Part 3 and hopefully said enough to clarify when they apply and to whom. I am now going to demonstrate the differences between law and legislation, or statutory law as it is often called to mislead us.
All legislation, including Statutes, Acts of Parliament, Local Government Acts and Regulations, such as those mentioned earlier such as council tax, TV license, parking fines, speeding fines etc, are not Laws they are statutes and if you do your research you will find that statutory laws are subordinate to the higher constitutional laws of the land. (I will go into more detail on this in part 5).
There are two distinguishing characteristics between Law and Statutes/Acts/regulations/Administrative Law etc:
First of all Statutes/Acts/Regulations/Administrative law etc can be repealed... and have been on many occasions.
Can you repeal Common Sense? No.
Can you repeal any Law of the Universe? No.
I suggest that a characteristic such as 'cannot be repealed' is a very powerful characteristic, a 'distinguishing' characteristic; thus distinguishing between Law and non-Law.
So what are Acts of Parliament, and Statutes et cetera if they are not Law? And what are Judges and Magistrates involved in, if it is not Law?
The answer to that is 'Legislation'. To create 'Legal' situations, 'legal positions', 'legalities', et cetera, but NOT Law.
The problem, of course, is that everyone has always been encouraged to refer to legislation as "law". Thus the 'inviolate, incontrovertible, implacable, applicable at all times, to everyone, without fear or favour' attributes of law are taken on by statutes, in everyone's mind, at least; thus a parking offence, or non-payment of council tax, becomes as serious as breaching the law of gravity.
The other distinguishing characteristic between the Laws of the Universe and legislation is that the Laws of the Universe cannot be broken, thus there is no penalty for breaking them. Legislation always includes prescribed penalties for violations.
In the case of Common Law it is possible to break it, but in this case a Jury decides the punishment to fit the crime, once again, by virtue of its innate Common Sense.
(NB: Although I'm detailing this from the perspective of someone in the UK it is worth noting that a similar method exists practically worldwide; remember how tiny little Britain once had a Great Empire that spanned the globe?
Well it left quite an impact…
Independence was often granted only on the basis that Britain's system of control would remain in place after handing colonies back to the rightful owners. Independence is just another illusion, and none more so than America's - Upon independence the corporation previously known as the Virginia Company simply changed its name to 'The United States of America', 'America' or simply 'The USA'.
A cold hard fact that 95% of Americans are unaware of is that the USA is a corporation that is owned by the British Crown - that's where their IRS tax goes. And it is also true that no American legally owns their land, it all belongs to the British Crown and the original charter states that the landmass known commonly as America cannot be bought or sold. See one of my older articles Queen of the USA for some more information.)

This is just a note to tell you how happy I am with the purchase of the LEKTRO AP88 tug from you. As you know I had purchased a large FBO in Anchorage who had two large diesel tugs and an AP87, all were older and well worn. I needed new tugs for the operation we had planned, our competitors we using Eagle all wheel drive models, they were the smaller Eagles which they chained up in the winter. I really didn't want to chain up due to the damage to the hangar floor so I began to research. I contacted Eagle and they recommended the Eagle 12 six wheel all wheel drive. I called you and you thought the AP 88 series would be ideal, but I was skeptical that your tug could match the stability and sheer pulling power on our iced up ramp. I came down for a test drive and bought the AP88, I also bought an Eagle 12, still not believing the LEKTRO could handle the ice with a large corporate aircraft attached … man, was I wrong!!!
That summer we used the Eagle for ramp work and the LEKTRO was regulated to the hangar due to its vastly superior maneuverability and simplicity of operation in tight quarters. Well that first winter was really icy and one night a brand new Gulfstream 550 was doing a quick turn and then on delivery in Russia. They couldn't get clearance to Russian and would have to be towed into the hangar. They were out 1,000 yards in a de-icing area downhill from the ramp and it was all wet ice … 32 degrees and 25-35 knots of gusting warm wind. We sent the Eagle out, hooked up the tow bar, and began to move the plane. Once it got onto our ramp, the wind blew the plane and the tug 15 feet off the line. I told them to stop–the last thing I wanted was to have a 50 million dollar aircraft slide off the ramp in a windstorm. My ramper sanded the area around the tug which helped, but the aircraft was still moving around behind the tug. I put a stop to the whole operation and said lets try the LEKTRO. Its tires were well siped and with the weight transfer to the drive wheel and no tow bar, I thought we would be much better off. Well it was like the cavalry coming to the rescue. We drove the LEKTRO out onto the wet ice and came up under that 550, hoisted her up and just drove off, no muss no fuss. We were amazed! That tug is incredible. It will out pull anything in icy and snow PERIOD. It is easy to operate and offers greater control than a tow bar and much greater control.
If anyone questions the usability and superiority of the LEKTRO, tell them to call me!
I have used a lot of various tugs during my 25 year career, and the LEKTRO tugs are the best I've used. They are very easy to operate, very well constructed and being all electric–the fuel savings will pay for the tug. Thank you for building such a great aircraft tug!
We purchased our first LEKTRO in 1998 and our 5th LEKTRO in 2015. Our FBO is located high in the Rocky Mountains and we move thousands of aircraft every year in some of the worst winter weather. We hit negative temperatures for weeks on end and when the tugs won't start, the LEKTROs always work. Also, a big issue is storage space and the LEKTRO has a much smaller footprint than equivalent units so it is easy to setup multiple charging stations and not lose real estate. Our units have been extremely reliable and any issues that have come up LEKTRO has taken care of us quickly so we experience minimal downtime. Thank you all for building an amazing product!
Thirty years ago Puget Sound Energy bought a 1985 Kingair to maximize employee productivity. We ditched our tug and tow bar for a bright red LEKTRO.
Our LEKTRO is about as maintenance free as a tug can be. We're beginning the fourth set of batteries, the second set of tires, and top-up the water quarterly. That's it! Really! That's all! …and it ALWAYS works!
So thirty happy years with one LEKTRO and one Kingair, it could be a Guinness World Record!
When it's 5am and there is a list of pull out requests from our base customers, their schedules, passengers and flight plans cannot wait while our old school tug decides whether to start or not. Having two Lektro tugs at our disposal, knowing that either one of them will do the job of emptying a single hangar in a matter of minutes, relieves any stress on the line technician, the customer and their passengers. Knowing that their airplane, be it a C-172 or a G-650 will be towed correctly, safely and more importantly, smoothly without any undo stress on the nose gear is paramount. Fast and easy hookup to any type of aircraft can be achieved with a Lektro Tug. During my tenure at Orlando Executive, I've moved thousands of aircraft from a Cirrus to a B-737.
Years later, the need arose for me to clear out another hangar after I had not been on a tug for years. Lucky for me, the only tug available was a Lektro. Everything fell back into place like it was yesterday, not skipping a beat on a single type of aircraft, large or small, job done.
Dependability is what is required at an FBO. If you cannot offer dependability be it with your tugs, personnel, GPU's, or your fuel trucks, you will suffer and lose business. Keeping your ramp clean, clear and organized is what the customer sees first when taxiing into your FBO. Chances are, if the first impression is good, they will be a repeat customer knowing their investment of an aircraft is in safe hands with the tried, trusted, proven design of the Lektro tug, which I stand behind firmly.
When discussing the possibility of purchasing a tug for our facility, we talked with other hangar operators, local FBOs, and our insurance underwriter. The other providers we met with recommended LEKTRO because of the ease of use both in attaching to an aircraft as well as stacking a hangar. However, to our surprise, even the insurance company had an opinion. They suggested we look into a LEKTRO because of the history of safety. From the day it arrived, the LEKTRO has become part of our daily operation and given us the ability to provide timely, safe, and reliable service to our tenants.
When me and my wife started Bestfly in 2009, we inherited an old standup unit bought in 2003 by an old Angolan regional airline. Since we were starting, this gift was a blessing, as we were the only VIP ground handling company in the country with its own tug. With that "little" machine we were able to tow big Globals and Gulfstreams. Even when we weren't sure, this was the only machine available at that time so the job had to be done and the "little" LEKTRO never let us down. Today, we are now proud owners of 5 LEKTROs and bear in mind we still have our "little" LEKTRO that keeps going and going and going… We operate in the harshest possible environment in the middle of Angola–SW Africa! All our LEKTRO tugs have systematically exceeded our expectations.
Lektro is a quality product that Landmark Aviation, as a large aviation service organization, has utilized daily in multiple locations, for over twenty years. We typically rely on two different Lektro models that provide a wide range of towing capacity and safety margin that our employees and customers can count on in virtually every weather condition. We continue to purchase them because of the reliability of both the product and the service backing it. We look forward to a continued partnership with Lektro.
Skinner Aviation purchased a used LEKTRO at Boeing Field in 1994. Since then, it has seen daily use at the Ashland Municipal Airport in Oregon….keep in mind this unit was built in 1967. It can still pull a King Air 200 the length of the airport. If this Airporter is testimony to the quality and serviceability of LEKTRO's current production models, I can not see reason to look any further.
Since being one of Lektro's first Commercial Launch Customers nearly 16 years ago, Horizon Air's 8850 fleet is still going strong today. These units are built tough and dependable. The PDX Ramp operates 17 hours a day, 7 days a week, and these Push Tractors are up to the task. With the Support that Lektro provides, we fully expect to keep these units running for years to come.

Ellen Page brings attention to the injustices and injuries caused by environmental racism in her home province, in this urgent documentary on Indigenous and African Nova Scotian women fighting to protect their communities, their land, and their futures.
Ellen Page, Ian Daniel
Ellen Page and Gaycation collaborator Ian Daniel shift gears with the documentary There's Something in the Water, a disturbing and, frankly, terrifying portrait of ecological and social disasters in Page's native Nova Scotia. Based on Ingrid Waldron's incendiary study, the film follows Page as she travels to rural areas of the province that are plagued by toxic fallout from industrial development. As did Waldron, the filmmakers discover that these catastrophes have been precisely placed, all in remote, low income — and very often Indigenous or Black — communities. As the filmmakers observe, your postal code determines your health.
We're introduced to many courageous women. Louise, from Shelburne, gives us a tour of a neighbourhood in her hometown where every house has been affected by cancer. Michele fights to protect A?se?k, or Boat Harbour, once a sanctuary for Indigenous people, now plagued by toxins spewed by a pulp and paper mill. The government only began addressing this when other whiter, wealthier communities were affected. (In one stomach-churning moment, it's explained that the company went to great effort to divert the offal towards A?se?k.) And a group of Mi?gmaq activists known as The Grandmothers fight to protect a river threatened by a gas company.
All of it is deeply sobering and scary, but like Page and Daniel we may find solace in the bravery of their subjects, who are the kind of resourceful and compassionate people you should place your bets on. If, as Louise poignantly asks, you don't care about other people, "What do you get up for every day?"

Facebook's right-side ads are getting bigger, but there will be fewer of them
By Michael Rougeau 2014-04-09T18:56:00.98Z
Facebook is tired of you ignoring its ads
The new ads are 'visually consistent' with news feed ads
Like most Facebook users you've probably learned to ignore whatever is in the site's right-hand column. You know, the space with usually creepy ads targeted at random snippets from your profile or Google searches.
But Facebook is hoping users will start paying attention again when it revamps those ads to be bigger.
Facebook says the new ads will be more in line with the ads that now appear in users' news feeds, with larger images.
At least there will be fewer of them now, the site said.
Advertisers are people too
"For advertisers, this offers a simpler way to create ads and an enhanced creative canvas on the right-hand column of Facebook," the social network wrote in a blog post.
It continues, "Because the updated ads mirror the overall shape of desktop News Feed ads, marketers will no longer have to choose separate images for News Feed and right-hand column placements."
Facebook also says the new ads will provide "a better experience for people."
Apparently early tests have shown up to three times as much engagement with the larger ads, though whether that's really better for people - or just for advertisers - is a subjective matter.
The new Facebook ads will roll out to users "in the coming months." Some advertisers will get the option in April, while others will need to wait until later in 2014.
Facebook video ads are finally coming to your news feed

On March 9-12, a massive blizzard moved through Nebraska and Iowa. The storm set record low barometric readings in Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico. The greatest impact was in western Kansas.
The blizzard brought winds of up to 89 mph (Hemingford, Nebraska) and as much as a foot of snow. Interstate 80 was closed from Kearney, Nebraska to the Wyoming border.
After the storm passed, there was severe flooding of the Platte, Elkhorn and Missouri rivers. Many cities in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa experienced flooding.
In NE-2019-02 and IA-2019-02, the IRS declared disaster relief status for Butler, Cass, Colfax, Dodge, Douglas, Nemaha, Sarpy, Saunders and Washington counties in Nebraska and Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona and Woodbury counties in Iowa.
Nebraska residents in the affected counties may generally defer tax filing deadlines between March 9 and July 31 of this year to July 31, 2019. Iowa residents in impacted counties may delay their filing deadlines from March 12 to July 31 of this year to July 31, 2019.
The tax relief covers filing, payments and estimated tax payments. Individuals who are making IRA contributions also have until July 31, 2019 to maximize their 2018 IRA funding.
Victims in the Nebraska and Iowa counties may also deduct a casualty loss. Taxpayers who are in a federally-declared disaster zone are permitted to deduct losses in either the 2018 or 2019 tax year.
Expanded Penalty Relief for Taxpayers Who Underwithheld
In Notice 2019-25, 2019-15 IRB 1, the Service expanded the penalty relief granted in Notice 2019-11.
Taxpayers with income other than wages are generally required to pay estimated taxes in four installments per year. Under Sec. 6654(d)(1)(B), the estimated tax payments are "the lesser of (i) 90% of the tax shown on the return for the taxable year or (ii) 100% of the tax shown on the taxpayer's return for the preceding taxable year (110% if the individual's adjusted gross income on the previous year's return exceeded $150,000)."
Because the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was the most comprehensive tax reform in three decades, many taxpayers were not certain how to calculate their estimated tax payments. As a result, an estimated 15% to 18% of taxpayers have underwithheld.
Therefore, the IRS published Notice 2019-11 and reduced the 90% estimated tax safe harbor to 85% for most taxpayers who have underwithheld.
However, in response to concerns expressed by Members of Congress that even more relief was needed, Notice 2019-25 lowers the 90% threshold to 80% for many taxpayers. The new standard states, "The addition to tax under Section 6654 for failure to make estimated income tax payments for the 2018 taxable year otherwise required to be made on or before January 15, 2019, is waived for any individual whose total withholding and estimated tax payments made on or before January 15, 2019, equal or exceed 80% of the tax shown on that individual's return for the 2018 taxable year."
To claim this estimated tax waiver, individuals must file Form 2210, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estate and Trusts. Taxpayers should file Form 2210 with their 2018 tax forms and check the waiver box in Part II, Box A. Filers should write "80% waiver" on this tax form.
Conservation Easement Abuse Investigation
On March 27, 2019, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR) launched an investigation into potential abuses of conservation easement charitable deductions. They sent 14 letters to individuals who are involved with partnerships that invest in real estate and then create conservation easements.
Grassley noted, "There are very legitimate purposes for the conservation easement provisions of the tax code. But when a handful of individuals cook up a scheme to cash in at the expense of federal revenue and in violation of Congress' intent, something needs to change. There is no reason that the rest of the taxpaying American public should be left with such a raw deal. This is just our first step in getting to the bottom of how these tax provisions are being abused, and it will inform what else ought to be done to fix the problem."
The letters explained that conservation easements are listed transactions under Notice 2017-10. The 14 individuals are asked for extensive information about all partnerships or passthrough entities that purchase real estate and then donate conservation easements.
Editor's Note: Sen. Grassley has stated he will move aggressively to limit perceived abuses of charitable deductions. Conservation nonprofits such as the Land Trust Alliance (LTA) generally support the Grassley-Wyden investigation of syndicated conservation easements. Andrew Bowman of the LTA stated that this investigation is "the right step toward permanently ending this abuse. It shines a bright light on transactions that disguise a profitable tax shelter as a charitable donation."

Legislators, Law Enforcement Meet to Discuss Drug Task Force Funding
Published on July 20 2022 3:08 pm
Last Updated on July 20 2022 4:52 pm
Written by Greg Sapp
A gathering of law enforcement and legislators took place Wednesday morning in Effingham to discuss dangerous drugs and how to make sure there are resources available to combat them.
The meeting was organized on behalf of the Southeastern Illinois Drug Task Force, a group of law enforcement agencies battling drug activity in the region. The Task Force is currently made up of representatives from the Illinois State Police, Effingham County Sheriff's Department, and the Salem and Robinson police departments.
Illinois State Senators Jason Plummer and Steve McClure were in attendance along with representatives of Congresswoman Mary Miller, State Senator Darren Bailey and State Representatives Blaine Wilhour and Adam Niemerg. Clay County State's Attorney Phillip Givens was also present.
State Police Master Sergeant Brian Gray, who is a Task Force participant, served as the program presenter. He was joined by ISP Captain Ryan Shoemaker and ISP Lieutenant Holly Finney.
The chief points raised were that there is a lot of drug activity in the region, and fewer resources available, both monetarily and personnel. Without tipping the Task Force's hand as far as knowledge of criminal activity, Gray shared that Evansville and St. Louis are sources of drugs, particularly methamphetamine. It was also shared that whereas 20 years ago meth was produced by "good ole boys" in pretty unsophisticated operations, today's meth production involves a "professional organization of drug dealers".
The Task Force is hampered by a lack of funds that would allow law enforcement agencies to pay for the personnel that would replace Task Force participants. Instead, local agencies are having to pay for the Task Force member and that officer's replacement.
Another factor is the dwindling supply of officer candidates, leaving local agencies deciding whether to dedicate an officer to the Task Force or keep their own force properly staffed.
The Task Force receives grant funding from the US Department of Justice to help fund officers assigned from local agencies. The amount received, though, isn't enough to cover the costs, leaving it to local agencies to cover the balance.
Plummer and McClure said after the briefing that they are faced with seeking additional resources in a General Assembly that has been about changing sentencing and time spent in prison rather than toughening penalties.

Bridging Faith and Science: How a Pastor Used His Master of Public Health from George Washington University to Protect His Church During COVID-19
Written by Bannon Puckett on Apr 28, 2021

Impact and Outcomes
Life at 2U
MicroBachelors
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story is part of a spotlight series on graduate alumni from 2U-powered online programs who were survey participants in our 2020 Gallup-2U Graduate Alumni Outcomes Study. The study was conducted to help 2U better understand the student experiences and career outcomes delivered by our university partners.
Kentucky was in the throes of a statewide opioid crisis—with Pastor Jonathan Smith on the front lines.
"As a chaplain, I saw people coming into church overdosed on opioids," he recalls. But Smith is not one to stand by and watch his community suffer.
"My theology background could not address that particular issue, when a patient had overdosed," he says. "While my training as a pastor helped me comfort people spiritually, I was totally ill-equipped to do anything about what they were experiencing physically. I knew that if I wanted my ministry to have a broader impact, I needed to go back to school and get additional training in a different field."
Smith briefly considered completing a graduate degree in nursing. But when a mentor suggested public health as a way to treat "populations, and not just patients," the pastor knew he had found his true calling.
Eager to expand his public service capabilities, Smith enrolled in George Washington University's online Master of Public Health (MPH@GW) program, a 2U-powered degree program designed for public health leaders who want to safeguard the health and wellness of people across the globe.
Though Smith didn't know it at the time, this decision would pave a direct pathway to his next leadership role: protecting hundreds of parishioners during a global pandemic.

Finding Welcome Flexibility
While evaluating different educational options, Smith had focused on a few core criteria: program duration, reputation, and flexibility.
"I wanted a program where I wouldn't be limited based on geography and could make an immediate impact," says Smith. With the MPH@GW master's program, he found just that.
From Kentucky, Smith was able to complete his degree in just two years, taking live online courses with instructors at the nationally acclaimed Milken Institute School of Public Health without moving to Washington, D.C.
"Location wasn't important," says Smith. "Students could learn from home, on the road, or anywhere they wanted. No in-person experience can replicate the flexibility that our online platform provided."
"It Went Beyond My Wildest Dreams"
Looking back, Smith credits the MPH@GW program with preparing him for real-world public health service through a rigorous, interactive curriculum.
"The program is designed for students to participate, and boy did we participate," he says. "Discussions with classmates were very engaging and enlightening, and the faculty did a wonderful job facilitating those conversations. It was one of those experiences where I truly looked forward to going to class every day in anticipation of learning something new."
As a first-time online learner, Smith hadn't known what was in store for him in the MPH@GW program. Today, he can confidently say that online education exceeded his expectations: "It went beyond my wildest dreams."
For him, the program's focus on community was particularly standout. "Surprisingly, I connected with many classmates in a deeper, more intimate way through online classes than I had during my previous in-person experiences at a bachelor's and graduate level," says Smith. "Everybody was striving for excellence, and that made for a very enriching experience."
When the pandemic hit, my parishioners had a great deal of confidence in what I had to say because of my public health background. We were the first church to close down in Arizona. That's because I was looking at the data.
— Jonathan Smith, online Master of Public Health program graduate, George Washington University
Learning to Love Data
Of course, the program didn't come without challenges: a required biostatistics class being the biggest one.
"I'm not a quantitative person," says Smith. "I am not a quantitative person. And by the way, did I mention I'm not a quantitative person?" Now, he's able to reflect on the experience and laugh—but at the time, humor was far from his mind. Daunted by the prospect of data analysis, Smith wondered: How in the world am I going to get through this?
Fortunately, these fears soon vanished as Smith leaned on the support of students and faculty. Before long, he was crunching numbers with confidence. "Interestingly enough, biostatistics wound up being my favorite course," he recalls. "I liked that you could see real-world applications of data."
The First Church Closure in Arizona
After being called back to his home church in Tucson, Arizona, as a pastor and MPH@GW graduate, Smith was uniquely positioned to lead his congregation through this century's greatest public health crisis.
"When the pandemic hit, my parishioners had a great deal of confidence in what I had to say because of my public health background," says Smith. "We were the first church to close down in Arizona. That's because I was looking at the data."
Smith cancelled in-person service when there were only five known cases of COVID-19 in Arizona. "One week later, the governor decided to shut down all churches," he recalls. "My members said, 'Pastor, you're prophetic! The governor is following your lead!' But I told them I was simply reading and interpreting the data. There was no way I could protect all my parishioners with a highly infectious disease in the area, so I did what I had to do."
Smith's efforts have clearly paid off. "To date, not one member of my church has contracted COVID-19 from us being together," he says. "Not one."

A Marriage of Faith and Science
Many people see faith and science as contradictory forces. But for Smith, they will always go hand in hand.
"Science and faith kept all of my parishioners safe during the pandemic," he says. "We made positive contributions to our community by staying home. When vaccinations came out, I looked at the data, ingredients, and studies, then promoted vaccinations to my congregation and community members. Science and faith are not at war with each other. Science is science. Faith is faith. They can work very well together when both are respected. When you disrespect one or the other, that's when there are problems."
That's not to say that marrying two diverse disciplines is easy. As Smith recalls, "I was challenged by people who said, 'Pastor, you have faith. Don't you believe God will protect your congregation?' I told them, 'Absolutely, I'm a man of faith and prayer. But I also believe in science. I know how to read data, and this is not a matter of faith. This is a matter of science.' My faith doesn't blind me to the realities of science. I'm able to merge both disciplines, understanding the benefits of each."
"To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Required"
Looking back, Smith can't imagine his life without the MPH@GW program. "Having this degree has opened so many doors and opportunities for me," he says. "It's helped me minister more comprehensively and made me better able to give back. That's what I love to do."
As the next step in his leadership journey, Smith will pursue a Ph.D. in Health Behavior and Health Promotion—an on-campus program he was just accepted into for this fall with the University of Arizona. "I want to continue promoting a healthy lifestyle that tackles health disparities to my community, and perhaps even in the classroom as a professor," he says. "I'm really feeling called to do that."
"To whom much is given, much is required," Smith concludes. "I recognize the awesome responsibility that I have standing behind the pulpit, and want to use my position to be a good steward of knowledge and education."
In hearing Smith's story, it's evident that he has done exactly that.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO DRIVE ON…
Most of what I write about is centered on conversations with passengers that ignite my soul and perhaps yours as well. Out of over 37,000 rides, representing approximately 80,000 people I have engaged with over the last 7 years, I can only think of a handful of riders that rubbed me the wrong way… and I have never written about those conversations… UNTIL NOW!
Dropping off three friendly, middle-aged professional women at Davio's, an upscale Italian restaurant for lunch at Patriot's Place at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA… I found myself kind of in the sticks. Luckily (I thought at the time), I picked up a ride just down the road. Immediately the passenger sent me instructions to drive all the way up the driveway to the garage, which is what I would normally do and thought this was a little odd. Greg, an older, retired white man, seemed friendly enough when he got into the car. One minute into the ride Greg asked if I could shut the passenger window in the front (which was opened a crack for air circulation to be Covid-19 air compliant). I mentioned that Ride-Share policy during Covid mandates we do this and I can open another window further away from him if he was cold.
A NON-BELIEVER
This is where things turned as Greg asked me if I was a doctor. I responded by saying, "Yes, a doctor of Life… but not a medical doc."
"So you probably feel it's important to wear masks too?" he asked. I responded that I wear a mask to not only protect myself, but to protect others as well. "Why wouldn't we do that?" I asked Greg.
Greg told me he just doesn't believe that Covid-19 is real or at worst, it's not as bad as the media portrays it. I mentioned that I think the loved ones of over 500,000 who have died from Covid-19 might feel differently… I got no response.
GOING POSITIVE
"You probably voted for Biden?" he asked. I told Greg that Yes, I did, but probably not for the reasons he might think. I wanted truth, unity and calmness in our country after the 4 years we just went through. I felt Biden represented what our country needed now in order to heal. Greg responded with… "Why do you have to bring politics into our conversation?"
OK, I had to laugh a little, but I simply responded with, "But Greg, it was you who brought up politics!"
At this point I think I was done with my friend Greg… so I said to him that I felt he was being a bit passive aggressive. He countered that he was just asking questions to generate good conversation. I told Greg that "sure," but his questions were loaded ones as if he was trying to trigger me. I added that since he got into my car, he had been quite negative and should go positive: "People can actually feel your energy when you walk into a room," I said. "People are repelled by negativity and drawn to positivity… you should try it sometime.
"You may find that your conversations are more fulfilling with a positive outlook."
It was barely noon-time as I dropped Greg off at his local watering hole (which might explain a few things). He apologized for his conversation and I urged him to try to be more openminded and positive, as it's easier to be kind than to be antagonistic. I am not sure I got through to Greg, but I could sense that he was an unhappy soul. I wish I could have spent more time with Greg, to turn around some of his limiting beliefs. I wanted to save Greg from the misery he was feeling, but sometimes you just have to drive on to your next ride.

New Delhi > General Information on Luxembourg > Government >
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been an independent Sovereign State since the Treaty of London of 19 April 1839. Luxembourg is a Parliamentary Democracy in the form of a constitutional Monarchy. The crown of the Grand Duchy is hereditary in the Nassau Royal House according to the family pact of 30 June 1783 and Luxembourg remains the only Grand Duchy in the world.
The sovereign power resides in the Nation and His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Luxembourg exercises the sovereign power, in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of the country. Since 7 October 2020, the current Grand Duke is the Head of State, the symbol of its unity and the guarantor of national independence.
In 1919, the revision of the Constitution and the introduction of universal suffrage marked a turning point in the political life of the Grand Duchy. Before this date, the right to vote was subject to a poll tax, in other words a certain amount of tax paid, and restricted to the male population aged 25 and over. After the revision of 1919, all male and female citizens who reached the age of 21 were given the right to vote. In 1972, the voting age was brought down to the age of 18. Voting in Luxembourg is compulsory for registered electors and therefore the rate of participation in elections is among the highest in the European Union.
INSTITUTIONAL LANDSCAPE
Luxembourg's institutions are organised according to the principle of the separation of powers. In Luxembourg's institutional context, this separation is soft as there are many links between the Executive power and the Legislative power.
His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is the head of State who exercises the sovereign power in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of the country. The Constitution grants the head of State considerable prerogatives. The Grand Duke participates in the legislative power and exercises executive power and ratifies treaties ensuring the interests of the State and the citizens.
The Grand Duchy has a unicameral parliamentary system and the Legislative power is exercised by the parliament, the Chamber of Deputies. The Chamber of Deputies has the duty of voting bills presented by the Government or on bills submitted on a parliamentary initiative by one or more deputies. By the Constitution, the Chamber of Deputies has certain powers in financial matters and the right to examine the Government's actions.
The Constitution and special acts of legislation lay down the foundations of the judicial power that is exercised by the courts and tribunals. They are independent in the exercise of their functions and kept free from any influence from the executive or legislative powers.
The Constitutional Court rules on the conformity of laws with the Constitution. It is composed of nine members and comprises a single Chamber composed of five judges. The Constitutional Court decides by way of judgements which are published in the "Mémorial", the Official Journal of the Grand Duchy within 30 days of their delivery.
The Courts of law include the three Magistrate's Courts, the two District Courts and the Supreme Court of Justice. Created following the last constitutional reform of 12 July 1996, the administrative jurisdictions are composed of the Administrative Court and the Administrative Tribunal.
THE COUNCIL OF STATE
The Council of State was instituted at the time of the constitutional review of 27 November 1856. It is an independent institution and acts as a consultative body in the legislative procedure. All bills submitted by either the Government or the Chamber of Deputies require the opinion of the Council of State. It is composed of 21 councillors. The members of the Council of State are formally appointed and dismissed by H.R.H. the Grand Duke following proposals made by the Government, the Chamber of Deputies or the Council itself.
Download the brochure " The Council of State "
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE GRAND DUCHY
The first Constitution, the supreme law of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, was drafted in 1841 and came into effect on 1 January 1842, two years after the independence of Luxembourg in 1839. The current Constitution was implemented on 17 October 1868, but has been revised several times over the last decades.
The Constitution proclaims the fundamental rights and sets out the state's major principles of operation. While the Constitution is more rigid and its revision procedure is more laborious, laws are modified more frequently. The Council of State may draw the Government's attention to the opportunity for new laws or new regulations or modifications to be introduced into existing laws and regulations.
THE COMPOSITION OF THE GOVERNMENT as of 4 FEBRUARY 2020
Xavier Bettel (DP) Prime Minister, Minister of State, Minister for Communication and Media, Minister for Religious Affairs, Minister for Digitisation, Minister of the Administrative Reform

Working in an industry that can evolve in a day, a great arsenal of tools is your best defense. PR pros have to deal with technology changing as well as the transition of new media. There are many tools that PR professionals use on a daily basis, but everyone has their go to tool when faced with a dwindling deadline.
What did we do before Twitter? Twitter has been around since 2006 now and most PR folks can be found tweeting everywhere. But what Twitter client is the best around? When you start reaching a good amount of followers, you need to filter out how to get the information you are looking for on a regular basis. Jamie Floer, a Senior Account Executive at Wragg and Casas Public Relations, says her favorite tool to manage social media is TweetDeck.
Being able to reach reporters and media outlets is another must for PR professionals, and with so many to choose from it is hard to tell which one is best. Eric Brandt, an account manager at Internet Marketing Inc., says he couldn't live without CisionPoint.
If you're on a budget, Help a Reporter Out or HARO has helped me more times than I can count. Having access to direct quires from reporters couldn't make pitching any easier. I couldn't imagine my day without it.
Let's not leave out the iPad. This seems to be a marketer and PR pros new favorite toy. With rumors of the iPad 2 coming out this year, and BlackBerry taking a stab at a tablet who knows how much power these devices could hold.
Google Alerts are a great way to keep up to date on your company, clients any anything else you need to monitor online. You can also use them to track reporters writing on certain beats to help with your media outreach.
What is the one PR tool you can't live without? Let us know in the comments below.
What Press Release Distribution Service Should You Use?
I'm with Andrew, my iPhone is essential. It's great for checking the daily headlines and my Google Reader on my way to the office in the morning, and it always me to quickly create fair-quality content on the go.
I also couldn't live without Diigo. It auto-bookmarks every link I tweet and has a fantastic "Read Later" button. If there's an article I want to read but don't have time for now, I can hit "Read Later" and it stores in a my "Unread" folder on my toolbar until I get to it. I make time once or twice a week to go through all of the articles I've saved, which is a great way to find content to curate on CNW's Twitter stream, our Worthy on the Web link round-up and to find ideas for my own blogging.
I definitely cannot live without my iPhone and my iPad. I also love MyMediaInfo for my media database needs and cannot speak the praises of HARO and Profnet for providing so many opportunities. My Google Reader (first stop in the morning) and Google Alerts (emails throughout the day keeps me on my toes) are great tools for my arsenal. I also rely on social media (I use Hootsuite to manage my accounts) heavily. Thanks for this great article!
I can't live without Facebook, Twitter, Hootsuite and My6thsense.
What do you guys think? Can this be real?


The days of typing out your favorite shrugging emoticon are almost gone.
Emojipedia has info on the new emoji coming in iOS 10.2, which was included in a developer preview. Although the shrugging emoji is but a single addition in a sea of 72, it's clearly the most important one.
The full list, which includes a black heart (much anticipated), gorilla (ugh), selfie (a true sign of the times), and "person doing cartwheel" (sure, I can find a use for that), was accepted back in June as part of Unicode Version 9.0. The update will also include an avocado emoji for those who want to celebrate this beloved fruit without being shamed for contributing to the California drought.
No word yet on when this key update is hitting, but we look forward to further abandoning the written word.

Virgil Abloh, founder of high fashion streetwear label Off-White, draws inspiration from the youth culture while simultaneously weaving a new era of bold fashion into a generation not afraid to push the boundaries. This rib knit stretch nylon-blend bra features Off-White branding along the elastic hem. It has elasticized shoulder straps and is unlined with tonal stitching.


The decorations are put away. The new diet has begun. January is the time of year to renew commitments and refresh goals. This year, Marie Kondo's decluttering reality TV show on Netflix is the talk around town.
It's not too late to get a head start on the New Year and begin clearing out the untidiness that might otherwise undermine your best efforts to begin anew. Here are three timesaving tips to help declutter your home.
The first step to turning any house into a home according to Marie Kondo and Feng Shui practitioners from around the world is to remove things that are visually displeasing. If your living environment is in disarray, how can you expect to live a productive and inspired life? If something is chipped, cracked, torn, or broken beyond repair then the choice to let it go will be an easy one.
Get a box. A big box and go room-to-room to identify possessions that no longer serve a useful purpose in your life. This is where things can get sentimental but if you work through it the rewards will be well worth the effort. And remember, giving is an act of the head and the heart. Donating your extra items that could be useful elsewhere will be a win-win for you and the receiver of your generosity.
If you discover that you still desire more space, then you're not unlike millions of other Americans who rely on self storage facilities to store their valuables. Let's face it, newer homes and apartments (especially in urban areas) offer less square footage and far fewer closets than slightly older digs so there's no reason to feel guilty.
If you have seasonal sports gear, family heirlooms, keepsakes or other treasured possessions, a secure self storage facility could be your ticket to creating a space you'll be proud to call home.
Even if you don't believe in resetting your resolutions every year, clearing out the clutter is worth putting on your to-do list. Maybe you got some really cool presents you want to show off. Perhaps you have a tortured relationship with "stuff." Maybe you're married to the King or Queen of Clutter.
We make it easy to find the storage facility that's right for you. At Metro Self Storage you can search by location, zip code, or city and state for a wide range of storage options. Your interim storage solution has never been better!
