12-Year-Old Child Granted Protection Order Against Ezra Miller Following Allegations of Inappropriate Behavior: REPORT

Ezra Miller has reportedly found themselves in more trouble.
According to The Daily Beast, a mother and her 12-year-old child have been granted a protection order against The Flash actor. The news comes after the family alleged that the actor menaced their family on Feb. 2 in their downstairs neighbor's home and acted inappropriately toward the nonbinary child.
During the reported incident, a conversation about board games allegedly went sideways when Miller became upset and aggressive. The neighbor alleges Miller had a gun in one side of their jacket.
"I've talked extensively with your child, and they have a lot of power to them. At one point, you're going to realize that you don't have any control over them anymore. They're an elevated being, and they would be lucky to have someone like me guide them," Miller allegedly said at one point while conversing with the child's parent.
The actor then allegedly turned toward the mother, who dresses goth, and asked if she wanted to drink their blood after accusing them of being a vampire.
Afterwards, they allegedly moved the child closer and showered them with compliments, hugging them and touching their hips.
According to the child, "They [Miller] automatically were just weirdly drawn to me and kept talking about how they love my outfit and love my style, and kept going on and on about how it was great. It was really uncomfortable. I was really nervous. I was scared to be around them after he'd yelled at my mother and she was crying."
Miller reportedly apologized for the incident, only to return on June 4 dressed as a cowboy.
The protection order features interviews with the child, the mother and the neighbor who was present at the time the incident occurred.
At time of reporting, the case file has not been posted on the court's online system. As a result, the official complaint made by the mother is currently unavailable.
Meanwhile, the parents of 18-year-old environmental activist Tokata Iron Eyes requested that a court issue a protective order against Miller just last week. The documents allege that Miller met Tokata when they were 12 and Miller was 23. Additionally, the documents allege that Miller "uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokata."
The parents also accused Miller of influencing Tokata's decision to come out as nonbinary transgender. However, Miller has been unable to be served since the court has been unable to find them.
As of reporting, neither Miller nor their representative have commented on the matter.

Q: latexdiff fails on description environments This example fails to generate a valid .tex:
test.tex
\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{description}
    \item[thing] explanation of thing
\end{description}
\end{document}

test_modified.tex
\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{description}
    \item[A first thing] an explanation of first thing
\end{description}
\end{document}

Executing

latexdiff test.tex test_modified.tex > test_diff.tex
pdflatex test_diff.tex

yields
! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
l.25 ...

Here is the block of interest in the generated .tex:
\begin{document}
\begin{description}
    \DIFdelbegin %DIFDELCMD < \item[thing] %%%
\DIFdel{explanation of }\DIFdelend \DIFaddbegin \item[A first thing] \DIFadd{an explanation of first }\DIFaddend thing
\end{description}
\end{document}

So latexdiff has inserted code before the \item, and the compiler does not like it.
Now the manpage says latexdiff has options to exclude commands. I tried to add
--exclude-safecmd="\\\item"

in the command line invoking latexdiff, with no success.
Has anyone ever tweaked the options of latexdiff and could say how to circumvent the bug (e.g. tell latexdiff to skip this kind of environment)?

A: Ok, I spent some more time looking for a way to solve this, and the solution is to define a dummy command that does nothing:
\newcommand{\diffblock}[1]{#1}

Just put the whole description in this block:
\diffblock{
\begin{description}
    \item[A first thing] an explanation of first thing
\end{description}
}

And add --append-safecmd="diffblock" in the latexdiff options.
It understands it should treat it as a whole block and does not attempt to insert its own code inside the block.

An Hour in the Life of a Nerd

• Try to remember the name of the waterway that separates Delaware from New Jersey. Can't recall. Go to atlas. (It's the Delaware River/Delaware Bay, by the way. You're welcome.)
• Spend fifteen minutes or so with atlas. Dang, those things are addictive.
• Notice that the atlas appears to show a tiny bit of Delaware on the east side of the river. Can that be right? Head for the computer.
• Sure enough, there are not one but two pieces of Delaware on the New Jersey side of the river! Oooo, time for Wikipedia.
• Wikipedia gives me the names – Killcohook and Artificial Island – but that can't be the whole story. Time for more searching.
• Aha! Great stories! Killcohook is known by locals in Salem County, N.J., as "the Baja," and it's where teenagers go to drink, criminals go to dump cars (and once in a while, a body), and hunters go to shoot out of season. Because the local authorities can't touch them! They're legally entitled to, but it's a roadless, mucky area, and their patrol cars get stuck. And it's an hour by road from the rest of Delaware.
• But why is it in Delaware in the first place? Ahhh…..a better story! During Colonial days, a British court ruled that the entire riverbed within a twelve-mile radius of New Castle, Delaware, belonged to Delaware, up to the low-water mark of the river. Not a big deal until the 1920s, when the Army Corps of Engineers began dredging the river channel and dumping the silt on the New Jersey side. The manmade island that was created at Killcohook was part of Delaware, but eventually merged with New Jersey although the old low-water-mark boundary remained. As for the poetically named Artificial Island, it was created when fill dirt from the creation of a nuclear power plant crossed over that magical twelve-mile radius from New Castle, thus creating a little piece of Delaware where none had existed before.
• Learned that the geographical term for these odd bits of territory is "exclave" (as opposed to "enclave"). Nice word. Gotta remember that. Kaskaskia, Illinois, is the nearest example that comes to mind, along with the "Kentucky Bend," a chunk of Kentucky that is separated from the rest of the state by a bend in the Mississippi River. The biggest exclave I can think of worldwide would be East Prussia when it was separated from the rest of Germany, but maybe there are others that don't come to mind immediately.
• But what's up with that "twelve-mile radius"? Back to Wikipedia. Turns out that the circular top of Delaware is part of that twelve-mile circle, which was specified in 1682 when the Duke of York granted the land to William Penn (although it wasn't until 1750 that the center of the circle was definitively established as the cupola of the courthouse in New Castle.) That weird border delineation led to court fights that lasted until 2007 involving Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware at various times. In 2008 the Delaware House of Representatives considered a symbolic bill to call out the National Guard to defend its interests against encroachment by New Jersey.
• Now wouldn't a war between Delaware and New Jersey be something to behold? I don't know about you, but to me this was a heck of a successful hour.

Q: How to append a string to a tag with exiftool Doing exiftool -Comment='This is a new comment' dst.jpg replaces any comment already present. How can I add the string instead?

A: Use this:
exiftool '-Comment<$Comment Stuff added to comment' dst.jpg
Since you're copying a tag as well as adding stuff, you need to use the copy tag syntax "<" instead of the assign value syntax "=".


In this KID CRAFT class, the focus will be crafting with STRING. Each student will learn how to work with a variety of string and cording. They will also learn to re-purpose old clothes or fabric scraps into "rope". They will get to choose from a few projects that will give them practice making knots (macrame), wrapping string around pegs to create a colorful and geometric design, or wrapping and tying rope to make rugs or baskets. Whatever they choose, it will be a project that gets their brain to do critical AND creative thinking.

Should I accept Housing Benefit When I rent Out My Property?
I you own a property that you are planning on renting out; you may be considering who to rent too. It is wise to consider the type of tenant you want so you know how to market your property, what kind of furnishing is required, and how and when you will be paid. There are various markets that you can take into consideration when letting out your property, for example: professionals, students, benefits tenants etc.
Where a lot of landlords will target the professional and student markets, you will see some reluctance with some landlords and agents in letting to the benefits market. There are however a number of advantages in letting your property into the benefit market that could make it an attractive proposition for landlord and agents.
Due to the cost of living and part-time/zero hour contracts, a growing number of people need to claim housing benefit to cover part or all of their rent. By accepting clients who work and are on housing benefit, you can have the security of a person who receives a wage and the backup of having the housing benefit pad directly into your account.
Get your rent paid on time every month.
If you accept tenants who are receiving housing benefit for some or all of their rent, you are guaranteed to receive your rent payment from the government on the same date every month. This can be paid directly into your account, meaning you are not waiting for payments from your tenant or having to chase rent arrears. Remember that you may only get part of the rent paid by housing benefit into your account so make a standing order arrangement with your tenant for the same date so that all the rent hits your account on the same day.
The benefit of long term tenants.
Some tenants on benefits may choose to rent as a preference, or may not be in a situation to buy or get a mortgage. By choosing the right tenant and getting payments by housing benefit, you may be lucky enough to have a long term tenant with no plans to move. This is an ideal situation for you as a landlord, where your house is being looked after and treated with love by a long term tenant, you are receiving your rent every month on the same day from the government and your tenant and you are able to pay off your buy to let mortgage.

Peroni Nastro Azzurro invites consumers to embrace the ritual of Passeggiata

Peroni Nastro Azzurro invites consumers to stroll into summer, embrace 'vita con stile' and the ritual of Passeggiata
LONDON, July 2019 Reflecting the heart of Italian culture, style and craftsmanship, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, the UK's number one Super Premium beer brand is launching a new global advertising campaign for the summer, 'Vita con Stile'The multi-million-pound campaign showcases the heartland of living life with true style and celebrates daily traditions in Italy through play, family, love, friendship and the concept: 'It's not where we go, it's how we get there'. Launched in the UK, 'Vita Con Stile' is based on consumer insight which validates how 'style' has moved on beyond how people look and is now a reflection of internal confidence - how it is expressed and the way people choose to live their lives through it.
The 'Vita Con Stile' campaign features a series of different chapters and is opening with 'La Passeggiata,' an ode to the early evening ritual of a stroll which Italians routinely take - to walk, connect and socialize. The multi-generational creative pays tribute to the iconic Italian beer that was created in 1963, during the glorious years of LaDolce Vita and showcases the inherent role family, friendship and fun plays in the fabric of the Italian lifestyle by tapping into rituals and re-imagining these for life today.
Directed by award winning director, Jake Nava, and shot with an Italian crew and cast, 'La Passeggiata' showcases the vibrant, and stylish spirit of Peroni Nastro Azzurro. Each of the different inter-weaving stories is supported by a lively background musical track from international singer Jain. The Omni-channel campaign will roll out worldwide across digital, cinema, out of home, and is supported by PR activity.
In the UK, Peroni Nastro Azzurro continues to be the most valuable premium and super-premium beer in the on-trade, with a 52% value share of the wider super-premium beer category. In the on-trade, Peroni Nastro Azzurro has driven value growth ahead of the category, with an even stronger performance in the off-trade.
As it strives to offer more choice to consumers within the beer category, Peroni has a proven track record of successful innovations. In 2016, the portfolio expanded to include Peroni Nastro Azzurro Gluten-Free, which also continues to lead the market as the 'free-from' favourite with 51% market share of the sub-category[3]. Now entering the ever-growing no- and low-alcohol beer category, Peroni Libera 0.0%, launched in the UK in January 2019, is set to generate additional value by bringing style to the world of alcohol-free beer without compromising on the taste.

according to a study commissioned by the Maharashtra division of the World Wide Fund for nature, the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party have played a major role in encouraging large scale encroachment of the dense forests of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park during the past two years.
Esconet, a Pune-based organisation, which conducted the study says that these political parties have encouraged slum dwellers to encroach on forest land with the assurance that their huts would be regularised, if they are voted to power. According to the report, leaders and representatives of the these parties even promised regular water connections, electricity, telephones, toilets, ration shops in the encroached areas. "Falling prey to the political overtures, the civic authorities, police and the bureaucracy had bent over backwards to please their political masters," the report says.
The encroachments into forest land have devastated around 799 hectares. The land is severely degraded and the soil layer has been eroded, exposing to basalt layers.

Hollywood studios sued for recycling old movie soundtracks
A new lawsuit claims that classic film scores have been illegally reused in films from Bridesmaids to Argo
Music from Titanic was allegedly used in Reese Witherspoon comedy This Means War. Photograph: Merie W. Wallace/AP

The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada has accused major Hollywood studios of recycling old soundtracks in a new lawsuit launched this week.
Settling a score: movie soundtracks that should be removed
The federation claims that studios, including Sony, Paramount and Disney, have violated the terms of a collective bargaining agreement after using previously recorded film scores in later releases.
The official complaint lists a number of examples, including some major releases. For instance, there was allegedly 1min 10sec of the Titanic score used in This Means War, 33sec of Cast Away featured in Bridesmaids, 35sec of Battle for the Planet of the Apes used in Argo and 2min 23sec of Close Encounters of the Third Kind used in Labor Day, without necessary compensation.
Producers agree in guild agreements that "all music soundtrack already recorded … will not be used at any time for any purpose whatsoever except to accompany the picture for which the music soundtrack was originally prepared."
There is an allowance for up to 2min of an "unsynced clip", but only if certain payments are then made.
The complaint requests damages be paid by all major studios that are in breach of agreement.

I have a haul for today's post, a haul of things I've bought this weekend on Sunday Up Market. If you don't know what SUM is (what you might likely don't 'cause it's a local thing), it's basically a big indoor music and shopping festival where you can buy clothes and accessories by a local designers, listen to the local bands and DJ's music, eat a lot of sweets and even attend some master classes about fashion, photography, graphic design, advertising and so on. By the way, I was also working there with my little jewelry shop Rosa Banana.
Well, here they are, my new babies. Firstly I went to CUTE corner. You've probably already tired to hear about how awesome CUTE is, but I'm going to carry on, 'cause it's my favorite designer brand and if you don't like their stuff I don't like you, you're weird (haha just kidding, of course). Anyway, my first purchase is this cozy and slightly slouchy mustardy jumper from their new collection. I used to dislike mustardy shades, but surprisingly I fell in love with this little thing, it is perfect for fall and look great with my hair color. The material is adorable: it's not knitted, but it feels very textural, soft and warm. The jumper came with a three pretty brooches, their logotypes, but I took them off, 'cause brooches in general are not my cup of tea.
Also from their new collection I got this stunning dress, rich chocolate one with the leather details. It looks huge on this picture, but it sits very nicely, not figure-hugging, but still feminine. This dress is only one in the world (and I'm the proud owner!), but they still have a couple of skirts of the same style, they're gorgeous as well.
I found these charming shorts from their previous collection, which I loved this summer and then unfairly forgot to buy. I actually planning to wear them now, 'cause I love the idea of fall-winter florals, and they have a black background and a mustardy leaves on them. They go great with all kinds of knitwear and just a plain dark tops. I will definitely show you how I style them very soon, maybe even with the first jumper.
Aside from CUTE I got three things as well. Next I did my very first purchase from Klod, young local brand, and despite I don't usually like their designs and the name, I just fell in love with this milky white quilted dress (jumperdress? sweatdress? hoodiedress?). This actually remained me of a straitjacket and Margiela designs. This is the coziest thing ever, it feels like you're wearing a blanket. As I said, in love with it madly and deeply! They also have a very nice colorful infinity scarves in stock, maybe I'll purchase one of them as well.
Then I just randomly and surprisingly (because I -once again - hate the name of the shop) got this necklace from my 'neighbours' corner E-cuff. They are newbies, but a very successful ones actually, and just a great guys in general! Love the necklace, it can dress up a very plain outfits.
Aaaaaaaand...let me introduce you to my final purchase, the most silly and naughty one. I actually don't know why I need that, but I just couldn't leave this bad boy there. Should I wear it as a necklace, what do you think? ;) By the way, it's made by Tisha Adams.
COMING SOON: a huge post about my October favorites: clothing, makeup, books, movies... Interesting? Follow!

Rudyard Kipling's (1865-1936) work is known and loved the world over by children and adults alike; it has been translated into many languages, and onto the cinema screen. This volume brings together for the first time some 86 uncollected short fictions. Almost all of them will be unfamiliar to readers; some are unrecorded in any bibliography; some are here published for the first time. Most of them come from Kipling's Indian years and show him experimenting with a great variety of forms and tones. We see the young Kipling enjoying the exercise of his craft; yet the voice that emerges throughout is always unmistakably his own, changing the scene every time the curtain is raised.
Thomas Pinney is professor of English, emeritus, at Pomona College, Claremont, California. He has edited Kipling's Something of Myself and Other Autobiographical Writings (Cambridge, 2013) and the Cambridge Edition of the Poems of Rudyard Kipling (Cambridge, 2013) as well as The Letters of Thomas Babington Macaulay (Cambridge, 2008). His History of Wine in America, 2 volumes, appeared in 1989 and 2005.

Lyon neighborhoods map
Map of Lyon neighborhoods
The Lyon neighborhoods map shows region and suburbs of Lyon areas. This neighborhood map of Lyon will allow you to discover quarters and surrounding area of Lyon in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes - France. The Lyon quarters map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.
The 1st arrondissement occupies much of Lyon present-day city center, boasting numerous sites important to both local life and tourism. Situated on the northern part of the natural island known as the Presqu'ile (between the Rhone and Saone rivers), the area lies south of the Croix-Rousse neighborhood (4th arrondissement); Old Lyon and Fourviere lie to the southwest as you can see in Lyon neighborhoods map. Stretching from the lower part of the Presqu'ile between Lyon two rivers, southward to the Confluences area where the Rhone and Saone meet, the 2nd arrondissement covers a vibrant part of the city center, packed with shopping districts, a grandiose square, restaurants, theaters, and remarkably diverse architectural styles.
It may not be Lyon prettiest district, but the 3rd arrondissement has plenty to offer international travelers especially anyone interested in food, wine, and local market life. Located just east of the Presque'ile across the Rhone, the area is often considered Lyon second city center and is home to the busy Part-Dieu train station as its shown in Lyon neighborhoods map. Situated north of the city center in the 1st district, the Croix-Rousse (4th arrondissement) is one of Lyon most colorful and artsy neighborhoods, combining the city industrial history with current-day local life. The historic heart of both Gallo-Roman and medieval Lyon, the 5th arrondissement stretches along the left bank of the Saone River into the hilly heights at Fourvière Basilica. This is a neighborhood where most tourists will want to spend a good deal of time time, as it is packed with popular attractions, breathtaking architecture, and picturesque viewpoints over the city.
The 6th arrondissement is an affluent and mostly residential area located northeast of the city center, on the right bank of the Rhone river and north of the 3rd arrondissement and the Halles de Lyon/Part Dieu area as its mentioned in Lyon neighborhoods map. One of Lyon more recent neighborhoods, the forward-thinking 7th arrondissement is home to several universities, some of whose stately buildings overlook the banks of the Rhône and its greenery-lined walking and cycling paths. The 8th arrondissement is a vibrant, traditionally working-class neighbourhood located to the east of the city center, bordered by the 7th and 3rd districts. Finally, the 9th arrondissement is a residential and green district located roughly 4 miles northwest of the city center, nestled above Old Lyon and adjacent to the Croix-Rousse district (4th arrondissement).

The Lyon districts map shows all quarters and suburbs of Lyon. This district map of Lyon will allow you to discover areas and the region of Lyon in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes - France. The Lyon districts map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.
The nine arrondissements of Lyon (districts) are the administrative divisions of the city as its shown in Lyon districts map. Unlike the spiral pattern of the arrondissements of Paris, or the meandering pattern of those in Marseille, the layout in Lyon is more idiosyncratic. This is for historical reasons: following the annexation of the communes of La Guillotière, La Croix-Rousse and Vaise in 1852, the newly enlarged city was divided into 5 arrondissements, which originally spiralled out anticlockwise from the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall); however, as the city population expanded, it became necessary to split certain arrondissements, giving rise to today seemingly random pattern.
The 1st arrondissement as you can see in Lyon districts map: Around the Place des Terreaux, many bars and pubs: this is one of the liveliest districts of the city. You can also find in this disctrict the Hotel de Ville de Lyon, the Opera House, Church St. Nizier. The 2nd district is located at the southern tip of the peninsula formed by the rivers Saône and Rhône. It is a the heart of Lyons, a shopping district with many stores and malls, the largest square in Europe, the Place Bellecour ( in the center of which the famous statue of Louis XIV). A portion of this district to the south has just seen the birth of the famous project "Confluence", an urban renewal project in the downtown Lyon with all-new housing, offices and shopping centers. The 3rd district, a district with many offices and residential buildings, the train station La Part-Dieu, the largest shopping center in Europe (Centre Commercial de la Part-Dieu) and the new Oxygen Tour. The 4th district and the plateau of the Croix-Rousse well known for its alleyways, stairways, its market, its creators and its history related to silk.
The 5th district, the historic center of Lyon, with the Saint John Cathedral, St. Paul and St. George areas known under the name of the "Old Lyon", Saint Just and his Fourviere Basilica which dominates and protects the city. The 6th district as its mentioned in Lyon districts map is often described as the most "chic" district of Lyon with wide avenues (Boulevard des Belges, Rue Duquesne, Avenue Foch) lined with beautiful buildings and mansions overlooking the Parc de la Tete d ' Or It is also a shopping area, mainly around the Cours Vitton. The 7th arrondissement, between the Rhone River (west), the Cours Gambetta north, the 8th district in the east, and the town of Saint-Fons in the south. It is the largest district of Lyon. It is located in an area nearly flat, alluvial plain of the Rhone. There are some universities, the International School, the Halle Tony Garnier, where there are many shows and concerts, the Parc de Gerland. The banks of the Rhone offers a very pleasant walk where bicyclists, rollerbladers, joggers and walkers can wander night and day. In the 8th district , "Cinema" was invented by the brothers Louis and Auguste Lumiere, The Light Institute traces the birth of cinema in Lyon. The 9th district is located on the Vaise district.


How to Get Your First Article Byline - Write Nonfiction NOW!
If you have never had an article published, that first gig can be the most difficult one to land. If you've got many bylines under your belt, landing freelance writing assignments gets easier and you are likely to get paid something for most, if not all, of them. So, how do you get that first byline, or more of them, so landing paid gigs becomes common place?
Some writers produce a few articles for local newspapers for free when they first start out as journalists or professional writers. Many experts frown on this practice, though, believing writers should never write anything for free.
I wrote many free articles as an intern while still in college to get those sought-after bylines that would help me get paid assignments (and a job) after graduation. Today, I still occasionally write articles for publications that provide me or my books with good "exposure." In other words, they provide "promotional opportunities." I try most of the time to get paid for my work, though.
Of course, blogging entails writing for free, as does guest blogging. "Free" has become much more acceptable, especially if you are trying to build platform or promote your work.
If you want to earn a living as a writer, you do, indeed, want to get paid for your writing. I studied magazine journalism in college and was taught never to write an article unless I knew beforehand I would get paid by a publication. I've tried to stick to this rule as much as possible—unless I'm consciously writing for free for reasons already mentioned.
Before you resign yourself to writing for free to get your first byline, here are some ways to get credit for your work and a paycheck.
Seek out some local or regional publications that might pay you even a modest sum for your work. Get those bylines under your belt, and then approach the larger publications, such as national magazines, that pay more.
Develop a "clip file" by starting your own blog. There you can build up an archive of blog posts to show to publications as you build a visibility and an expert platform online. You can also guest blog for other bloggers.
Write for an organization like Examiner.com. This allows you to get a small amount of pay at the same time as developing a writers' platform with an online news service. You can direct editors to your articles there to prove you have the ability to write.
AOL has its patch.com columnists as well. This is another way to have your own column and develop an archive of online articles. This site does not pay.
Of course, if you write for publications, get a copy of the most recent copy of Writer's Market. It's best to purchase the printed book with the online option, which allows you to check the updated search engine to find publications that pay well. Then filter through the results. This resource is also a great supplement to what you see on the newsstand or find elsewhere. It doesn't include all publications.
Look for national publications if you want bigger pay, or regional, local or niche publications if you are just starting out. However, some of the specialty publications that cater to profitable markets or wealthy audiences also can pay quite well—even for those writers just starting out. This is especially true if you have an expertise in the subject area, so keep that in mind.
Thanks for this, Nina. I have a number of "first bylines" in local newspapers, group newsletters and online venues including journals and guest posts (including yours).
I recently wrote a story which I think is one of my best. Now the challenge is to get the most prestigious possible byline. And I want to do that without spending dozens or hundreds of hours becoming an expert at submitting. I recently heard of a paid service called writersrelief.com which, for a fee, will do the research for me. Have you heard of this service or anything like it? Any other thoughts about "climbing the ladder" to the next rung?
I know of writersrelief.com, and I think they are not inexpensive to use. Here's my thought on using their service: It could be impersonal as seen from the editor's perspective depending on how the service actually works. I've always done my own pitching. If you can get them to do the research but not have them query, maybe that's worth your money. If you feel uncertain about your query, you could have them write it…but you could also ask some seasoned pros to edit it as well.
The issue with writing the piece first and then placing it second is that you didn't target it for the specific market. You are now trying to find a market to suit the piece, and that could mean they ask you to rewrite or say no simply because it wasn't written "for them." Does that make sense? It won't be perfect for their readers.
If it is a piece written on a specific topic, the pool of available prestigious publications shouldn't be too large. I think you could do the research in an hour or two.
And, by all means, contact me with more blog post ideas. Send a pitch!


A blogger named Desmond Ike-Chima, has been remanded in prison awaiting the hearing of his bail request over supposed unpleasant publication against the Managing Director of United Bank of Africa, UBA, Plc, Philips Oduoza.
The defendant was remanded by Justice Mohammed Yunusa of a Federal High Court Lagos.
The 29-year-old blogger was arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on malicious publication, preferred against him by the police.
The prosecutor, Henry Obiazi, told the court that the defendant and others still at large sometime in March 2015, at Ojodu falsely published an article by means of computer on the Internet entitled Randy UBA MD, Philips Oduoza in Adultery Mess, Romances Star Actress Genevieve Nnaji.
He alleged that the publication was for the purpose of causing annoyance, incontinence danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, ill will or needless anxiety to the victim.
Obiazi, also alleged that the blogger's publication led to the wife of Oduoza divorcing him over the alleged affairs with actress Genevieve.
According to the prosecutor, the offences committed are punishable under Sections 24 (1) (b) Cybercrime Prohibition Prevention Act, laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2015.
Ike-Chima pleaded not guilty to the charges, while the trial judge adjourned the case to November 6 for the hearing of the bail application.

Like notes playing across the staffs of music, the subtle lace eyelets of Sweet Melody Vest drift in and out of a flattering cascade of textured wavy columns. The slightly fluted lower edge is a nice touch, too. This vest is knitted as one piece so that sewn finishing is almost eliminated. You can leave the front opening buttonless or embellish with button loops and buttons as shown in the model for a center-front closure.

"Lexi's work was a huge factor in getting our Kickstarter campaign successfully funded. From her insider knowledge of Little Cottonwood to her awesome attitude, we were thrilled with the result and can't wait to work with her again!
Lexi did an amazing job producing this video for us! It was great to leverage her local insider knowledge of Little Cottonwood Canyon.
With the help of our Kickstarter video, Orsden successfully funded their campaign to produce the Slope Pant!
Orsden, based out of Vermont, is an outerwear brand built for a life well lived in the outdoors. Orsden's founder, Sara Segall, stumbled upon my Instagram account and before long we were scheming and making plans to realize her vision for a Kickstarter Campaign video filmed on the slopes of Alta Ski Area.
Sara and her husband, Steve, founded Orsden with the simple mission of offering quality ski gear to winter lovers at a more reasonable price. By selling direct to customer, Orsden offers incredible value for skiers and snowboarders who are also searching for a flattering fit in addition to functionality and practical features in their outerwear.
Sara and Steve are ready to take Orsden further and sought my help to produce a video for a Kickstarter Campaign to fund the launch of their Slope Pant. Their funding goal of $42,000 was met on February 22, 2017.
See the campaign: Click Here!
From sourcing local videographers and talent, to arranging pre-public lift access at Alta Ski Resort, I handled the bulk of logistics for getting the film project up and running in Utah. Sara and Steve flew out from Vermont and we were thrilled to discover over 3 feet of snow blanketing Little Cottonwood Canyon. The weather cooperated perfectly for our 2 full days of filming with Kipp Schorr and Tim Jones; we came away with stunning imagery. I myself was used as the skier while producing the film.
In addition, I helped Sara arrange a launch party at the local Peruvian Lodge bar to introduce Orsden to the local community. I publicized the event on my own Instagram account as well as partnered with the Peruvian Lodge to get the word out about our après party.
It was great to work with so many friends and connections in the Salt Lake area to give this project life.
Sara and Steve are truly committed to their craft and I believe they are on to something big. Having seen how much outerwear companies think they can fairly charge customers, it's refreshing to see a different approach paired with products that offer a great fit and quality craftsmanship.

A few little clips assembled by Kipp Schorr to promote the Kickstarter Campaign on social media.


Twenty years ago, a business case was required for the purchase of a single PC. Ten years ago, internet access was through a modem attached to a computer in a small locked room at the end of the corridor, with a book kept beside it to record sites visited. The past gets strange and distant very quickly.
At some point in that process, there was a reversal of expectations and experience. Technology and its applications in the work environment got overtaken by technology and its applications at home. It happened at different times for different people and different working environments, but it must now be true that a high proportion of office employees can do more with their own technology than with their employers'.
Consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas has come out with a study this week claiming that nearly one in four companies blocks employee access to social networks like Facebook and MySpace … [T]here are companies who probably ban Facebook at work — just like in the early days of the telephone there were those that banned telephones at work, and, more recently there were companies that banned email or the internet at work. Eventually, companies recognize that fearing communication tools tends to backfire. Embracing them tends to be a lot more productive.
The end result is that consumers bring to the office the expectations that they've developed through their interaction with consumer hardware, and in most cases those expectations are frustrated by the reality of corporate IT. This phenomenon is also at work on the network, where users develop their sense of how networked apps (messaging, collaboration, and archival) should look and function through daily contact with the lively ecosystem of consumer-driven Web 2.0 applications. Next to something like Facebook or Google Maps, most corporate intranets have an almost Soviet-like air of decrepit futility, like they're someone's lame attempt to imitate for a captive audience what's available on the open market.
But the Ars analysis makes it all seem fairly logical, though my experience suggests that that is often far from the case. Ostensible reasons for constraints collide with actual reasons to create a pile up which is hard to disentangle, and so hard to move on from. Part of that is about changed expectations about what is normal – email can be uncomfortable and slightly threatening, a core working tool, or frustratingly old fashioned, depending on the perception of user, rather than on anything about the technology. Those perceptions of users then run up against perceptions of the organisation: which uses of the system are safe, which are insecure, which are frivolous, which will at some point fall into (or are already in) the category of things which new entrants to the organisation will simply take or granted. Getting that right entails separating out two elements of trust which are often run together – trust to act sensibly and trust to act responsibly.
The first is about how people manage their time and work: if we unblock Facebook, does organisational productivity plummet? There is a simple answer, favoured by some, that anybody determined to be unproductive will find ways of being so regardless of whether they have access to social media or not. I don't think that's compelling either way in itself. The more pertinent point from an organisational point of view is whether communication literacy is complete without them, and even if it is now, for how much longer. That is – or should be – about how communication happens within the organisation and its customers. The real need is to find a way of trusting people to behave appropriately in an environment with which many of the people who would have to do the trusting are deeply unfamiliar.
My feeling is that in moving beyond the current model for information security is going to take a little bit of technology and a lot of trust. Web 2.0 tools and the Net Generation will both be additional factors that push the issue to the forefront at leading organizations. Companies will need to move to a model of 'decentralized security', which I see as basically allowing users to manage their own security permissions. Organizations will first start experimenting with information inside the firewall, but eventually they will need to evolve and extend beyond the walls of the enterprise.
The problem is that organizations today need to be agile, reconfigurable, be able to leverage partners and third party expertise. Unfortunately to operate in this new environment security and permissions need to be dynamic and flexible both internally and externally. To become a next generation enterprise it will be increasingly important to both empower and trust employees when it comes to information and security decisions.
That's all very well in principle. And I can see how it might work in organisations which are both (a) relatively small and highly cohesive (so that there's plenty of offline trust to start with) and (b) hold information which is not, in general, specifically attractive to criminal outsiders. We seem a long way, though, from a state where we could be confident that individual users would make the right trade offs (it sometimes feels as though we are still a long way from the people whose job this is making the right trade offs). Saying that we need to empower and trust individuals is fine in principle, but it serves only to take us on to the next question: empowered and trusted to do what with whom in what circumstances. There can be principles for that, but the attempts I have seen fall into a common trap with guidance: they look helpful when you don't have a problem and don't need guidance, but fail miserably just at the point where you are sufficiently uncertain to turn to the guidance. So we come back again to trust: what are the steps we need to take which will get us to enough people being comfortable that greater openness based on a wider range of tools is the right way forward?
The thing about trust is that it doesn't emerge, full grown, from the beginning. It grows and it feeds off failure. People learn how to trust not because there are guidelines but because they interact with other people and do it better each time.
If we're saying that, in the end, the public sector simply can't take part in that process, then I think we're in trouble.
The trouble with that prescription is that it can be construed as reckless and naive. I don't belive it is. It seems to me that government is facing a difficult time as it confronts the opportunities of this new age of connectedness whose benefits won't come without some vision and courage, as well as well as lashings of pragmatic experimentation and incremental learning.


What's Jeanne Goldie up to now? And why should I read this blog?
I'm a "Start it Up" or "Turn it Around" plug-in strategist for businesses. The person hired when a business wants to fix something that's broken or create something entirely new. For the past twelve years I've worked in the Financial Services industry leading organizational strategy after doing similar work in the government and non-profit sector (NGO's). I've worked on projects as varied as redesigning public housing, historic preservation, tech start-up companies, insurance sales, opening an African American research library, and had a really wild stint as a wedding planner. (Yes, there is video). Did I mention I was once an accountant as well? (No video of that – sorry).
All the opinions in this blog are my own, and do not in any way reflect on my current employer. As a matter of fact, I will only be sharing one story from my current position, involving the desert, teambuilding and SPF 70. You'll know it when you find it. Otherwise they're off limits.
Unfunded mandates, budget shortfalls, regulatory adventures, zero authority but total responsibility for results, I've lived them all and learned a few good lessons along the way. I'll share those here, and hopefully you'll get some answers, not to mention a few laughs. If you run a corporate department, a struggling non-profit, a family-owned business, a government agency whose policy direction changes with every election cycle or maybe you just got tasked with creating the strategic plan for your boss, this site is for you. It doesn't matter if you're formally named the "Change Agent" or if you got the title by default.
I plan to cover real organizational change, not activities that just sound great on paper. Real change is messy, and doesn't always proceed in a straight line or submit to easy solutions. Your voice counts, so please share your experience and your comments. Share your disasters too; I'll share a few of mine. As the line goes, "you can't create an omelet without breaking a few eggs" — although I prefer to see us as creating soufflés.

Home Gossip Who Is The Mother of Jo Koy's Son? All About His Love Life, Affairs, And Relationships
Who Is The Mother of Jo Koy's Son? All About His Love Life, Affairs, And Relationships
Sabina Gartaula Sun Aug, 2018
Joseph Glenn Herbert, a.k.a. Jo Koy, is a Filipino-American stand-up comedian best known for his frequent appearances on The Adam Carolla Show. Some of the other shows he has appeared in include The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon hosted by Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno hosted by Jay Leno, Celebrity Page TV, and many others.
47-years-old Koy is a father. He has a son, but because of his confidential nature, there is very less information about his baby mama.
So, let's find out who Jo Koy's son's mother is and if he is dating anyone at the moment.
Jo Koy Has a Son: Who Is The Mother?
If you are a big fan of Jo Koy, you know that he has a son whom he loves a lot. His son's name is Joseph, and he is also very active on Instagram. The proud father likes to talk about his son and how grateful he is to have him.
Going to celebrate my sons 15th Birthday until he's 16!
A post shared by Jo Koy (@jokoy) on May 5, 2018 at 9:46pm PDT
However, the question about the mother of the child is an often raised question. Koy has not revealed any information about the mother of his child. But not long ago, during an interview, he admitted that he was married to a mystery woman and had his son with her.
But as things went downhill in their marriage, he separated from her and got the authority of his son. The terms of the split are still unknown, but it seems they got a divorce under mutual understandings.
Santa Claus.hahaha Happy Holidays from my dad and I
A post shared by Joseph (@josephhherbert) on Dec 9, 2015 at 9:42pm PST
During an interview, the comedian shared that he was very grateful for his ex-wife because she gave him the most important thing is his life which is his son.
He said:
I am so thankful for the mother of my son. She's given me the most important person in my life – my son. I thank her for taking good care of him while I'm away and on the road, being a good mom to him and friend to me.
Happy Birthday to the most amazing mom anyone can ask for. I love you so much
A post shared by Joseph (@josephhherbert) on May 29, 2017 at 4:27pm PDT
While Koy has not revealed any information about his son's mother, Joseph, on the other hand, did upload a picture of his mother on Instagram wishing her on her birthday.
Is Jo Koy Dating Someone? Is He Single?
As of 2018, Jo Koy is in a relationship with a new woman. The identity of the woman is not known but she makes frequent appearances on his Instagram.
We can't get enough of Maui.
A post shared by Jo Koy (@jokoy) on Jul 21, 2018 at 4:06pm PDT
He has uploaded numerous pictures of his family of three on social media. His wife is a gorgeous blonde, and she seems to love spending time with her beau and his son.

Before her, Koy dated another woman. In 2012, Koy was spotted on a date night with another mystery woman. He did admit that he was dating her, but just a year later, Koy declared that he was not with the woman any longer.
Despite his not so fortunate love in the past, he has finally found the love of his life which is all that matters.

Prepare to be mildly baffled! This week's First Gig Worst Gig correspondent is Matt Parker, master of one of the English language's most intimidating words: maths. He's a lecturer and a comedian - sometimes it's hard to tell the difference these days - who's currently on tour as one third (maths!) of cerebral trio Festival of the Spoken Nerd.
"It felt hard to out-do our previous show Just for Graphs, in terms of the title," says Parker, "but You Can't Polish a Nerd gives it a good shot! The DVD recording of Just for Graphs will be out soon, which is very exciting."
So, where else has comedy maths taken him?
"I just got back from a tour of Australia and New Zealand with Robin Ince. It was a science and comedy show - classic Ince - and so it was the first time I've toured with my wife, who is an astrophysicist. It all went well both on and off the stage, including celebrating our 1,000-day wedding anniversary in Melbourne. Whole-year anniversaries are too easy keep track of."
That's exactly the sort of number-loving behaviour that freaks us regular-brained people out, but it's proven popular. He has the numbers to prove it.
"My YouTube channel Stand-up Maths recently passed pi-hundred-thousand subscribers [no, us neither - ed] which was quite the celebration. With [popular maths site] Numberphile's ridiculous two million subs my videos have just crawled past 64 million views: 64,105,050 specifically - I wrote a computer programme which downloads the view counts from YouTube and adds them all together."
Enough: let's plunge into his previous shows.
I took a course in stand-up comedy in 2009 as a way to see if I was any good at it. After a few lessons, a few of us on the course thought we'd see how hard a real audience was. So we all signed-up for an open-mic night. Only I showed up. But I went through with it anyway!
It was in the room above the Queens Head pub in Piccadilly Circus with an audience of maybe 20 people and probably as many acts. I went on last, but not in a good 'headliner' kind of way: it was more of a 'see if there's enough time for me' situation. I had three minutes of stage time but that was enough to get me hooked.
I was the first person to use an overhead projector at the Hammersmith Apollo since Pink Floyd. It's hard to top that. Although, they were using it for lighting effects. I was doing math.
I was booked as one of a classic three-acts-plus-compere gig at a rugby club in Boston, Lincolnshire. I think I was the middle spot. The room had all the lighting and atmosphere of a badly organised wedding. The jukebox would turn on randomly during the show. I think the gig had been organised by the locals to prove they were funnier than comedians.
To be honest, we knew it would be a long night when we arrived in the car park and saw the posters titled 'Comedy Night: Free Hotdog'. When the free hotdog gets bigger billing than any of the acts you know what kind of show it will be. And the performers didn't even get free hotdogs.
Thankfully, we always play the Performing Arts Centre in Lincoln when on a Spoken Nerd tour and the audience are guaranteed to be lovely. So no hard feelings, Lincolnshire.
Do any Spoken Nerd shows stick out as being particularly memorable?
We get the occasional group booking who have misunderstood the show as something which makes fun of nerds. I'll never forget the hen do in the front row of a show in Colchester watching me do a routine about spreadsheets. They were waiting for knob gags but it was just spreadsheets all the way down.
I've been very lucky to be obviously super-niche maths-plus-comedy and so only really work with similarly niche promoters who like what I do. Even when I first started work on the comedy circuit I had the luck of largely only working with nice people.
I come across more disagreeable people through my work as maths expert in the media. There is one production company I absolutely refuse to work with because more than once they have 'hired' several maths experts and then cancelled all but one of us the week before filming.
Thankfully the maths community is small enough, and friendly enough, that we all talk to each other and could work out what was happening.
I had a routine about the definition of Graham's Number in my 2013 solo show Number Ninja which even the most generous audience did not do more than tolerate. In hindsight it was probably because that section of the show was devoid of jokes to make room for a lot of digits. It's a big number.
Comedy shows are often quite lecture-like nowadays. How different are your maths lectures to comedy gigs?
It hinges on the audience. For a comedy show I'm going to get some super-nerds of course, but also normal humans who are just there for a good night out. So I cannot go too long without a joke. Nor can I assume any background knowledge in the audience. So while I will still talk about some interesting maths concepts, it's only in very general terms.
For a maths lecture, even a popular-maths public lecture, I can assume everyone there wants to hear about maths which means I can go into much more detail.
Your most memorable review, heckle or post-gig reaction?
I did a comedy show at the Cheltenham Science Festival a few years ago. A friend of mine was outside the venue as people were leaving and heard someone complain to their friend: "It could have used a bit more maths and one or two fewer jokes."
I'm very pleased with how it's all going. Within comedy I feel like I'm working across all possible scales, like some kind of fractal. Between doing live stand-up, making YouTube videos and writing books I have everything covered.
Combined with doing educational maths events for teenagers and working in the maths department at Queen Mary University of London I have enough different things going on to keep me completely occupied. It can get a bit overwhelming sometimes but I'd miss any one aspect of my career if I had to give it up.

Studies have shown that cats and dogs are at least 100 times more likely than human to develop genetic disorders. An animal may appear healthy now, however, it can develop a genetic disease later in life and pass the defective gene to future generations. Amvet Biosciences can unlock the genetic code of DNA empowering you to plan and act proactively at an early stage.
We offer the following feline DNA tests
• Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
SMA is an autosomal recessive inherited neurodegenerative disorder that has been identified in Maine Coon cats. This disease is characterized by progressive instability with unsteady gait and posture abnormalities due to loss of motor neurons in the lower spinal cord and atrophy muscles in the hind limbs. Affected cats typically show symptoms around 3 to4 months of age, which include fine muscle tremors and fasciculation, abnormal posture, progressive muscular weakness, and instability. It is recommended that the affected cat should be kept indoor with intensive care.
• Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV (GSD IV)
GSDIV is an inherited recessive abnormality of glucose metabolism that has been found apparently in Norwegian Forest cats. They usually have a defective glycogen branching enzyme (GBM) that causes a severe error in glycogen storage in cells. Abnormal glycogen accumulates in muscle, liver, and neurons causing progressive organ dysfunctions. Very often the affected kitten results in death before birth or soon after birth. But a few can appear clinically normal until 5 months of age, typical symptoms can include fever, muscle tremors, and weakness.

Three Farmington Public Schools graduates reach NFL, two drafted in top five rounds
Hometownlife.com
A trio of Farmington Public Schools alumni hope to be playing football on Sunday's this fall.
Michael Ojemudia, a 2015 Harrison High School graduate, was drafted in the third round by the Denver Broncos. Khalid Kareem, a 2016 Harrison High School graduate, was drafted in the fifth round by the Cincinnati Bengals. David Reese II, a 2016 Farmington High School graduate, was an undrafted free agent who was picked up by the Carolina Panthers.
Harrison's football program has had seven players drafted in the NFL. It also holds the record for most state titles in MHSAA history with 13.
"I'm very proud of their accomplishments and am really excited to see them continue to get to play the game they love," North Farmington football coach Jon Herstein said. "You want all the players that you coach to go on and become successful and be the best they can be."

More:Newton brings state title success to Farmington United hockey's head coaching job
Herstein was an assistant coach at Harrison for 12 years until the school closed last year.
Ojemudia played linebacker and tight end at Harrison before being recruited by the University of Iowa. The Hawkeyes then transitioned him to a cornerback. In his senior year, he recorded 52 tackles with 41 individual stops, 11 assists, three interceptions, nine pass break-ups and one recovered fumble. Football is in Ojemudia's blood as his older brother played football for the University of Michigan.
He is Harrison's third-highest drafted player ever, behind Devin Funchess and Drew Stanton, who both were second round picks. He hasn't signed his rookie deal yet, but the Broncos will pay him roughly $4.751 million over four years with a signing bonus just north of $1 million.
Herstein said he isn't surprised that Ojemudia's transition to cornerback has gone so well.
"We knew we had great cover skills, when we needed him to go cover guys he was very capable of doing that," Herstein said. "Talking to some of the coaches throughout the recruiting process, we knew that was a potential move to make."
Kareem transferred to Harrison as a junior and played defensive end for the Hawks. He was recruited by the University of Notre Dame as a defensive end. He recorded 108 tackles and 13 sacks at Notre Dame. Kareem was also the team captain in 2019.
He has not signed his contract with the Bengals yet, but his contract will likely be around $3.65 million over four years with a $354,476 signing bonus
Both Kareem and Ojemudia played two years on varsity at Harrison.
"They had a huge impact," Herstein said. "We had really good teams with them and outstanding defensive play, obviously. Both of them really carried a lot of that workload and did a fantastic job. They were captains for the team their senior years, they were terrific leaders and hard workers. They set the tone in the weight room."
Herstein noted that both players continue to return to Farmington Schools where they visit former coaches, meet with current players and workout.
"I think both of them will have nice long careers and continue to develop at that level," Herstein said.
Reese played linebacker at Farmington before being recruited by the University of Florida where he played as an inside linebacker. As a Gator, Reese recorded 324 tackles (19.5 for a loss) and 3.5 sacks. He also had one interception and recovered two fumbles.
He signed a three-year deal with the Panthers worth a total of $2.285 million. He's set to earn $610,000 this season if he makes the team.
Reese's father, David Reese, is the principal of Farmington Central High School, the District's alternative high school. He was previously an assistant principal at Harrison.
"We had some really terrific games with Farmington," Herstein said. "They had a really talented team that he was a part of that we were able to beat in a really good game. Seeing him over the years, he's another kid that I think really worked hard to improve his body and his technique and his abilities over the years. That's a testament to his work ethic."

CLOSING NOTES
Posted on June 5, 2019 by Mike Wittmer - Updated June 17, 2019
George "Keoki" Lake (1928-2019)
Many of you already know the sad news. We got the following from Keoki's son Rob Lake: "I regret to inform you that George Lake passed away [on February 27], just a few weeks short of his ninety-first birthday. Although he had been in the hospital for a few weeks, his ultimate passing was quick and without pain. I am sure he enjoyed all the friends he made in your association and he will be missed in the Edmonton community."
Keoki was a fixture at HSGA and Aloha Int'l conventions, both as a performer and always as a rhythm guitarist for the great Hawaiian artists, such as Jerry Byrd, Barney Isaacs, Kalani Fernandes, Nina Keali'iwahamana and many others. George, with all his gifts, was a humble and friendly person who could enthrall you with stories of the great performers he met with during his musical career.
We had intended to print recent news we got from Keoki including another installment in his newsletter feature, "Keoki's Korner." We'll probably include that in a future issue, but here's a touching note he sent out shortly before his passing:
"Many of you have wondered if I'm okay, for which I can only express my sincerest appreciation and thanks. From October 2017 through early January 2018 I was confined to the hospital. I experienced a severe fall in which I landed on my forehead against a cement curb, which caused medical teams deep concern regarding a possible concussion. I also suffered extreme pain from a fractured pelvis. The good news: I managed to beat the odds and am now able to e-mail this to you. And yes, I'm still bashing away at music! Well, that's about it. No use in complaining as I saw many in the hospital who were far worse off than me. Oh, I sold my home which has been a heartbreak for me, as Mary and I spent over sixty years caring for that home. Mary has gone so it is best I get rid of my earthly items."
Roger Shackelton (1943-2019)
We're sorry to announce that we lost longtime HSGA member Roger Shackelton at age 75 on March 8, 2019 at the Sylvan Court Nursing Home in Canby, Minnesota.
Roger Earl Shackelton was born on May 17, 1943 to Earl and Ruth (Lundquist) Shackelton in Canby. He graduated from Canby High School in 1962 and served in the U.S. Army from September 1962 to September 1965 in Stuttgart, Germany. He moved to the Seattle area and worked for Boeing Aircraft for 23 years and retired in 2007. In August of 2013, he relocated back to Canby.
Roger had been in ill health for several years prior to passing away. He is survived by his wife Venus Shackelton of Canby, Minnesota.

Condolence funds to the bereaved family of a Swedish national, Peter Wallenberg are set to drill more than ten boreholes and rehabilitate many other broken ones in the area of Senior Chief Chikumbu in Mulanje.
This was revealed during a handover ceremony of one borehole at Sapuwa Village which was rehabilitated with the same condolence money.
Wallenberg who died on January 19, 2015 was one of the Swedish pioneers in the promotion of sanitation and hygiene through provision of clean safe water across Sub-Saharan African countries including Malawi.
Michael Lorrin confirmed the development.
Speaking during the hand over event, Chief Executive Officer for Water for All (an organization that provides clean safe water) Michael Lorrin said when Wallenberg died, his children decided that every penny that was to be received as condolence from friends and acquaintances of the family would be channeled to Malawi through Water for All in order for it to provide clean water to lacking villages.
"The family well understood the love that late Peter Wallenberg had for Malawi, and how he really had wanted to provide clean safe water in as many villages as he could, where there were water problems during his life," explained Lorrin.
Commenting on the initiative, Senior Chief Chikumbu hailed the Wallenberg family for the generosity, saying it was very touching to realize how some people spend sleepless nights thinking of ways to liberate Malawians from poverty and suffering.
The Traditional Leader however condemned acts of vandalism and lack of sense of ownership among communities over such public properties which she said disheartens donors.
According to the Peter Wallenberg WASH Project that is being implemented by ADRA Malawi in the district, more than ten boreholes will be drilled from September 1 this year and many others will be rehabilitated with the condolence money.
Coordinator for the Peter Wallenberg Project in Mulanje, McDonald Kanjewe commended the community in which the handed-over borehole was rehabilitated, for its patriotic citizenship.
"People of this village led by the village head have shown a spirit of ownership and acceptance in the way they took part in rehabilitation work at the borehole, and this is very encouraging on our part as we continue to rehabilitate more boreholes and drill new ones in areas around this village as well as here in this village," said Kanjewe.
He was quick to add that measures to curb misbehaviors such as vandalism and theft have been put in place to ensure that the rehabilitated boreholes and the ones to be drilled are kept safe.
The area of Senior Chief Chikumbu is one of the ones mostly hit by lack of clean safe water sources in the past five years and random media research shows that over 75 percent of the population of the area has been relying on unsafe water sources for over five years.
To divide and rule could only tear us apart.

Meitnerium Element Facts, Properties, and Uses
Meitnerium or element 109 is a synthetic radioactive metal.
AlexLMX / Getty Images
Meitnerium (Mt) is element 109 on the periodic table. It's one of the few elements that suffered no dispute concerning its discovery or name. Here is a collection of interesting Mt facts, including the element's history, properties, uses, and atomic data.
Interesting Meitnerium Element Facts
Meitnerium is a solid, radioactive metal at room temperature. Very little is known about its physical and chemical properties, but based on trends in the periodic table, it is believed to behave as a transition metal, like the other actinide elements. Meitnerium is expected to possess properties similar to its lighter homologous element, iridium. It should also share some common properties with cobalt and rhodium.
Meitnerium is a man-made element that does not occur in nature. It was first synthesized by a German research team led by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Munzenberg in 1982 at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. A single atom of the isotope meitnerium-266 was observed from bombardment of a bismuth-209 target with accelerated iron-58 nuclei. Not only did this process create a new element, but it was the first successful demonstration of the use of fusion to synthesize heavy, new atomic nuclei.
Placeholder names for the element, before its formal discovery, included eka-iridium and unnilennium (symbol Une). However, most people simply referred to it as "element 109". The only name proposed for the discovered element was "meitnerium" (Mt), in honor of Austrian physicist Lise Meitner, who was one of the discoverers of nuclear fission and the co-discoverer of the element protactinium (together with Otto Hahn). The name was recommended to the IUPAC in 1994 and formally adopted in 1997. Meitnerium and curium are the only elements named for non-mythological women (although Curium is named in honor of both Pierre and Marie Curie).
Meitnerium Atomic Data
Symbol: Mt
Atomic Number: 109
Atomic Mass: [278]
Group: d-block of Group 9 (Transition Metals)
Period: Period 7 (Actinides)
Electron Configuration: [Rn] 5f146d77s2
Melting Point: unknown
Boiling Point: unknown
Density: The density of Mt metal is calculated to be 37.4 g/cm3 at room temperature. This would give the element the second-highest density of the known elements, after neighboring element hassium, which has a predicted density of 41 g/cm3.
Oxidation States: predicted to be 9. 8. 6. 4. 3. 1 with the +3 state as the most stable in aqueous solution
Magnetic Ordering: predicted to be paramagnetic
Crystal Structure: predicted to be face-centered cubic
Discovered: 1982
Isotopes: There are 15 isotopes of meitnerium, which are all radioactive. Eight isotopes have known half-lives with mass numbers ranging from 266 to 279. The most stable isotope is meitnerium-278, which has a half-life of approximately 8 seconds. Mt-237 decays into bohrium-274 via alpha decay. The heavier isotopes are more stable than the lighter ones. Most meitnerium isotopes undergo alpha decay, although a few undergo spontaneous fission into lighter nuclei. Researchers suspected Mt-271 would be a relatively stable isotope because it would have 162 neutrons (a "magic number"), yet attempts by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory to synthesize this isotope in 2002-2003 were unsuccessful.
Sources of Meitnerium: Meitnerium may be produced either by fusion two atomic nuclei together or via the decay of heavier elements.
Uses of Meitnerium: Meitnerium's primary use is for scientific research, since only minute amounts of this element have ever been produced. The element plays no biological role and is expected to be toxic due to its inherent radioactivity. Its chemical properties are expected to be similar to noble metals, so if enough of the element is ever produced, it might be relatively safe to handle.

AM-6545 is a drug which acts as a peripherally selective silent antagonist for the CB1 receptor, and was developed for the treatment of obesity. Other cannabinoid antagonists such as rimonabant have been marketed for this application, but have subsequently been withdrawn from sale because of centrally mediated side effects such as depression and nausea. Because AM-6545 does not cross the blood–brain barrier to any significant extent, it does not produce these kinds of side effects, but has still been shown to effectively reduce appetite and food consumption in animal studies.
