Federal judge orders former EPA scientist to testify in Pebble mine case
Author: Lisa Demer
A federal judge considering a court challenge by Pebble mine developers has granted Pebble's request to force testimony by a former government scientist now believed to be living in Australia.
Pebble Ltd. Partnership asserted in court filings that Phil North fled the country to avoid answering allegations that he colluded with tribal groups and environmentalists to block the mine's development. North was a lead scientist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which has proposed to use its powers under the Clean Water Act to block any mine of the scale proposed by Pebble developers in the Bristol Bay watershed.
While Pebble accused North of fleeing, he told The Redoubt Reporter in 2013 that he was preparing to sail around the world with his family for two years after retiring from the EPA.
Pebble is fighting in court to derail the EPA's efforts. In a lawsuit filed in September 2014, Pebble contends that the EPA failed to follow basic rules of open government as it studied the Bristol Bay watershed. Pebble has proposed to develop a massive copper and gold mine at the headwaters of Bristol Bay, home to half of the world's wild sockeye salmon runs.
U.S. District Judge Russel Holland on Thursday ruled in favor of Pebble's request to force North back to the United States to give sworn testimony in that case, and to produce requested documents.
The EPA did not fight the subpoena but filed an unusual "statement of position" that the government said was necessary "to clarify the record before the Court and dispute the unsubstantiated and inflammatory assertions" by Pebble.
Pebble asserted that North "is uniquely situated to provide critical information" and that efforts to recover it otherwise had been unsatisfactory.
For instance, he used his personal email account to conduct EPA business and did not forward those emails to his government account, Pebble said in its motion to subpoena North. Documents are missing from a hard drive that crashed. The EPA also found an encrypted thumb drive, but only North knows the password, Pebble said.
Pebble also said that North had fled the country to avoid the threat of a congressional subpoena.
The EPA said it was "unaware of Congress ever issuing a subpoena to Mr. North." Pebble hadn't submitted any evidence that North was being evasive, the government said.
The EPA has asked through North's attorney that he provide the agency with any thumb drive password and copies of personal emails related to EPA business, the statement filed in court said.
"EPA's efforts have included providing the hard drive at issue to the Office of Inspector General, and emails recovered from the drive have been produced to Plaintiff through FOIA," the EPA said in its position statement, referring to the Freedom of Information Act.
That didn't sway the judge. Holland said the EPA didn't present a basis for opposition, though its "statement of position bristles with commentary."
In a separate lawsuit, Pebble is seeking documents through FOIA. Holland also is overseeing that case.
The FOIA proceedings showed that North was a major player and that the EPA has not been able to retrieve all of his emails, some documents from the hard drive and the encrypted files on the thumb drive, the new order said.
North "(much more so than others) is in a position to explain what was transpiring within the EPA in the lead-up to the preparation of the Bristol Bay water assessment," Holland wrote. "Indeed, the court would be surprised if the EPA were not as anxious as Pebble to obtain testimony and access to documents controlled by Mr. North. It appears to the court that Mr. North may be the only person within the EPA capable of shedding meaningful light upon whether or not unauthorized advisory committees were created or utilized in connection with preparation of the Bristol Bay water assessment."
The deposition will take place Nov. 12 in Anchorage, under the order.

I only used one of your photos because the other, while darker, did not shed any additional information on this specimen. Based on the amount of the cicada I see and what I have noted in terms of species in your area, the most-likely identification would be Tibicen canicularis, the Northern Dog-Day cicada. It is one of our two most common Tibicen species here in the Northeast.
Based on the lack of timbal covers at the base of the abdomen and the overall shape of it, I would put the gender at female. Thanks for sharing your report and providing useful information for our distribution database.
Maybe a T. robinsonianus? The large green spot on the nose (I call it, "the Jimmy Durante proboscis"), the thin, black line along top that medially bisects the pronatal collar, along with the measurements given for the body length and width all seem to jive with the T. robinsonianus cicadas I find here in Missouri.
Anyway, just my thoughts when I saw the photo.
P.S. - That is to say, if the "length" measurement was body length and not head to folded wingtips length.
It is doubtful that T. robinsonianus is here in New England. Not a single species has been reported here and after many years of documenting species in New England, I have never found one.
In addition, the shade of green on the pronotum of this specimen is more tawny than the true rich greens found in T. robinsonianus.
You know, I really feel for you and respect what you do; It's really friggin' hard to narrow down and accurately pinpoint a cicada species when all you have is one semi-clear head shot photo and are given a measurement of ".5 to .75 inches!" That's a "fudge factor" of over 6 mm! In the insect world, that's pretty darn significant.

The World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on emerging technologies releases its top 10 emerging technologies for the year.
OnLine Electric Vehicles (OLEV) "Already widely used to exchange digital information, wireless technology can now also deliver electric power to moving vehicles, " writes the council. "These vehicles require only a fifth the battery capacity of a standard electric car, and can achieve transmission efficiencies of over 80 percent." In this image, an Azapa Co. AZP-LSEV electric vehicle (EV) is displayed behind a screen simulating a map during a demonstration at Automotive World 2013 in Tokyo on Jan. 18.
LCD is the current standard. There are varying types such as TFT LCD (Majority of laptops sport this display). There are also OLED displays (mostly concepts - rumors of 2nd gen ipad getting this type of display). There are a number of emerging display technologies as well but OLED, AMOLED, and TFT are the major players.

Should You Fear Pesticides on Your Cannabis?
Dante Jordan
(CSA-Printstock/iStock)
Fear can be crippling. Don't live your life in fear.
"Pesticide" is the most serious buzzword in all of cannabis right now. It's damn near Voldemort. The reason is, for consumers, the word has been directly linked to the thought of "dangerous cannabis."
But before we throw up the red alert beacons about all things cannabis, let's add a little nuance to the conversation.
Pesticides 101: Questions and Answers for Cannabis Patients and Consumers
What Is a Pesticide?
Pesticide is a word, not a weapon.
By definition, a pesticide is a substance used for destroying insects or other organisms harmful to cultivated plants or to animals. This means herbicides for destroying weeds, insecticides for controlling insects, fungicides to prevent mold and mildew, disinfectants to prevent the spread of bacteria, and compounds used to control mice and rats.
"When the [cannabis] plants are creating terpenes, those are basically pesticides. They're the natural defense mechanism that the plant creates, so it's more about the use of the word and understanding what it means for your products," says Lo Freisen, CEO and Chief Extractor of Washington's Heylo Cannabis, a processor that places extreme emphasis on the use of sustainably grown, pesticide-free cannabis.
Why Do People Fear Pesticides?
Some think the inhalation of pesticides is linked to health problems, such as respiratory issues and the dreaded Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS). In so many words, CHS is a condition that causes cannabis consumers to experience fits of nausea and vomiting, as well as abdominal pain. But there truly is not enough research or data to justify the connection between CHS and pesticide inhalation. Still, you don't want to be smoking them.
What Is Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome?
"Pesticides are everywhere. We're breathing them in the air around us. The toxicity of pesticides aren't that high when consuming them, or eating or touching them. However, when people combust/inhale pesticides, things can become a health issue," says Pat Reynolds, Operations Director of Confidence Analytics, a cannabis testing lab in Washington State.
Which Pesticides Do People Fear?
One of the most frequently used pesticides in cannabis production is neem oil, a naturally occurring pesticide found in seeds of the neem tree. The active component of this pesticide is azadirachtin.
Heylo's Friesen says: "Azadirachtin comes from neem oil, and neem has been used a lot in cannabis because it's a natural compound that's considered organic. But there has been some anecdotal evidence that shows that this could be the reason people get sick from cannabis."
Study Finds Top 5 Causes of Cannabis-Related Emergency Visits
Many consumers believe azadirachtin to be the cause of CHS, while others believe it is not CHS that consumers are experiencing, but actually azadirachtin poisoning. Both ideas remain unconfirmed by science.
There are multiple compounds, in addition to azadirachtin, found in pesticides that consumers do not want to be inhaling, regardless of their levels of toxicity. This extensive list of California's banned pesticides features many of them.
Can Cannabis Really Be Pesticide-Free?
High-quality cannabis is free of insects, mold, and mildew. If "clean cannabis" producers are using absolutely no substances to prevent these from attacking your cannabis, how exactly are growers keeping them away from your beautiful buds?
Organic vs. Chemical Cannabis Fertilizers for Your Grow
The answers are simple:
Growing in a controlled environment, i.e., indoors, allows a producer to regulate what's going on in their grow rooms, though this definitely heightens the risk of crop loss if pests do enter the room.
The law doesn't always require the disclosure of using approved pesticides. "Just because something is organic or is Clean Green certified doesn't mean that they don't use some sort of approved product on the plant," says Friesen.
Applying pesticides during the vegetative state of a plant's life is a common practice, and pesticides (hopefully) will not remain as the plant begins to flower and produce the final product that ends up on our shelves.
What this all means is that "pesticide-free" is not as simple as it reads, and consumers need to dig deeper into the brands and products that claim it.
Which Pesticides Are Safe for Cannabis?
Though most cannabis producers do implement some sort of pesticide into their growing methods, there are still plenty of safe ways of pest management that will not harm consumers.
Beneficial insects are bugs—such as ladybugs, pirate bugs, and green lacewings—that do not harm cannabis, but instead, eat the pests that will attack it.
Predators Over Pesticides: An Introduction to Chemical-Free Pest Control
In addition to beneficial insects, some growers pull natural pesticides already used in certain plants and apply them to cannabis in order to maintain an organic integrity. Examples of this include rosemary oil and chrysanthemum oil—this is the active ingredient in pyrethrins, common pesticides used on cannabis.
How to Buy Pesticide-Free Cannabis
At the end of the day, the safest cannabis to consume will always be of the pesticide-free variety. The only way we'll ever truly know what products truly fall under that umbrella is if they go through verified lab testing, and companies provide the results for each and every product.
For consumers seeking that good ol' clean green, Freisen's advice is to simply demand it: "Ask for test results and go to shops that actually vet their vendors. Being a consumer is the most powerful position you can be in. And that's part of the law, they have to disclose that information if they have it."
And if they don't have it? Then you don't want that producer's cannabis.

i keep getting termites in my plants,some say lots of water but some say not to water the plants to much.
termites dont eat the plants in my exsperience.. im guessing outdoor. dig a circular ring around your plants spraying the dirt not ur plants
You should definitely be concerned what chemicals are being put on growers plants
When usingbug spray you have to flush the plant

This article mentions anecdotal evidence for
azadirachtin poisoning. But what about all the anecdotal evidence against it? Like you say, neem oil is one of the most common pesticides used. I know I've consumed cannabis that's been treated with it. Just wondering


(NaturalHealth365) Conventionally speaking, most doctors urge their patients – age 50 and older – to get a colonoscopy, at least every five years. However, getting a colonoscopy or endoscopy procedure might actually be riskier than most medical professionals realize, according to recent research out of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
These numbers are significantly higher than previously believed. It was generally estimated that infection rates following a colonoscopy were around 1 in 1 million.
However, the Johns Hopkins research results indicate a rate around 100 times that. The results were published in the June 1 issue of the journal Gut.
Over 7 million upper-GI endoscopies and 15 million colonoscopies are performed each year in the U.S.
An endoscope is a reusable instrument that allows an endoscopist to see into the gastrointestinal tract. They can be used to screen for diseases like colon cancer and used for polyp removal to eliminate the need for invasive surgery.
Here's the problem: patients are routinely told colonoscopies are 'safe;' however, post-endoscopic infections are a bigger risk than originally thought. And, it should be noted, infection rates can vary widely from one facility to another, the researchers reported.
Gee, I wonder why … could it be a (lack of) reporting issue?!
Overall, infection rates for all procedures were higher at outpatient clinics versus hospitals, the researchers reported. However, inadequate record keeping can prevent these clinics from gaining greater awareness of the issues that exist with their procedures.
Because of this, anyone about to have one of these procedures should be aware of these risks and take steps to minimize the threat. Another area of concern are these 'superbug' infections. Bottom line, our best defense against infections is a strong immune system.
Focus on eating a diet rich in organic vegetables and fruit – as much as possible – in order to load up on antioxidants. When eating fat or proteins, buy the best quality (organic) food possible to avoid unwanted synthetic hormones and antibiotics.
In addition, be sure to consume plenty of vitamin C and D to keep your immune system strong – especially leading up to a hospital visit or medical procedure. Any integrative doctor should be able to help you to understand what's best for you.
Editor's note: Discover the best ways to support a healthy immune system and avoid the threat of infections and disease. Don't miss your chance to get access to the Immune Defense Summit – 2019 hosted by yours truly, Jonathan Landsman.

Toys Through Time
Prescot Museum > Kirkby Gallery > Visit From Home > Toys Through Time
This week, we're looking at our Toys Through Time display at Prescot Museum – the toys range in date from the 1890s through to the 1990s. They help demonstrate how childhood, consumerism and technology has changed over the years, but most of all they are fun!
The toys in the image above date from the 1890s to 1920s and go from older to newer, top to bottom. The metal ice skates on the top left would be strapped on over your shoes or boots. They would most likely have been used on frozen lakes and ponds rather than ice skating rinks – they only came to Britain in the 1870s. Don't try this at home!
There are lots of wooden "penny toys" in the display (so called because they were cheap) including a whip and top, skipping rope, cup and ball. Working class children would have played with toys like these, or even made their own, and would have played with them outside. Many working class families didn't have much room in their houses, especially those living in terraces, so playing outside in the street was the only option.
There are lead soldiers dating from the late 1910s/early 1920s modelled on those from World War I – some are molded to look like they're wearing early gas masks and there even some which are carrying an injured soldier on a stretcher. They are also painted with lead paint – very toxic and dangerous. Hopefully their original owner didn't put them in their mouth, but even so, the poisonous lead can be absorbed through the skin when you play with them. We only ever handle these whilst wearing gloves.
The train and British Insulated Cables drum on a freighter were made by Hornby Meccano on Binns Road (close to Edge Lane) around 1926. The train is clockwork, and winds with a key. They were very accurate, recreating the world in miniature. Lots of different models of carriages and cargo on freighters was available, showing the different types of goods that were being transported around Britain by rail at that time.
The lovely colourful jigsaw cubes were given as a Christmas present in 1929. Each of the six faces on each cube has a different section of a picture on it, so it makes six puzzles altogether. There are pictures of each jigsaw puzzle in the box too, to help you work it out.
The toys in the image above are from the 1940s to 1960s. The board game on the left, Horsie Horsie, was invented by Prisoners of War in World War II who played the game to pass the time. When they returned home, they had the game professionally made; due to limited materials available, the board and pieces are made of cardboard.
Fuzzy Felt (just to the right of Horsie Horsie) also came about during World War II – Lois Allan ran a workshop at her home making felt gaskets for tank parts (it's a special type of seal that goes between two sections of a component to prevent leaks – gaskets are usually very odd shapes with lots of holes cut in them). She gave her children some of the offcuts to play with and she found that they stuck gently onto the back of her placemats – her children had lots of fun making pictures with the shapes, so after the war she marketed the idea using coloured felt in a range of simple shapes.
Rubber and plastic starts to be introduced in toys and everything starts to get more colourful – rubber wheels on Dinky cars, vinyl dolls with blinking eyes with nylon eyelashes, and of course – Action Man came along in 1966! (His Eagle Eyes and hands that really grip were introduced in the 70s)
The toys in this section of Prescot Museum's Toys Through Time display dates from the 1970s to 1990s. Technology has moved on again, so there is even more plastic and vinyl, and battery-powered toys are becoming common. The increasing influence of television is obvious, with lots of books, toys and games released to tie in with tv programmes – some tv programmes are even created to create stories for toys! The biggest shift in the 80s is the boom in home computers and the introduction of computer games and consoles.
The Viewmaster became a popular toy in the 70s and 80s, a hand-held steroscope that used flat round cardboard reels inset with tiny duplicated slides to create 3D images. The one in the photo is beige, but they came in different colours. They were originally intended more for adults to view scenes of foreign lands but became popular with children and a wide range of reels became available, often abridged versions of cartoons or films.
The ZX Spectrum home computer (the black box with a built-in keyboard) was introduced in 1982 could be plugged into the television. The basic model had a whopping 16 Kilobytes of RAM – a 16GB smartphone has 1 million times more RAM (Random Access Memory). We've come a long way! it could also be used to play games which were loaded onto cassette tapes, like Daley Thompson's Supertest. The Nintendo Gameboy came out in Britain in 1990.
Sindy had been introduced as a British alternative to Barbie in 1963, but her popularity grew through the 70s and 80s. As well as buying licensed Sindy outfits and accessories, many parents and grandparents sewed and knitted clothes for the dolls, with many patterns available.
So many memories, so much fun!


No, all out the box. The bezel is much better than I thought when it catches light / sun. Looks gen.
However up close the lack of enrgraved number is a tell. Also my bezel alignment is slightly off. Lume is quite feint at night.
I bought the same one it's a sweet watch, rep or not.
Could I please get help QCing this IWC AF Portofino?
she's a beauty. Which factory?
Got this beauty in the mail today. Noob V8 no date sub.


Please keep in mine I did save an additional 15% (or $0.15) off each product due to employee discount. Regardless these are great mark downs. Especially if you have a trampoline and sprinkler. The dish soap just makes things 10x more fun!

Unforced internal variability abounds in the climate system and often confounds the identification of climate change due to external forcings. Given that greenhouse gas concentrations are projected to increase for the foreseeable future, separating forced climate change from internal variability is a key concern with important implications. Here, we leverage a 40-member ensemble, the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble (CESM-LE) to investigate the influence of internal variability on the detection of forced changes in two climate phenomena. First, using cyclone identification and compositing techniques within the CESM-LE, we investigate precipitation changes in extratropical cyclones under greenhouse gas forcing and the effect of internal variability on the detection of these changes. We find that the ensemble projects increased cyclone precipitation under twenty-first century business-as-usual greenhouse gas forcing and this response exceeds internal variability in both near- and far- futures. Further, we find that these changes are almost entirely driven by increases in cyclone moisture. Next, we explore the role of internal variability in projections of the annual cycle of surface temperature over Northern Hemisphere land. Internal variability strongly confounds forced changes in the annual cycle over many regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Changes over Europe, North Africa and Siberia, however, are large and easily detectable and further, are remarkably robust across model ensembles from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) archive. Using a simple energy balance model, we find that changes in the annual cycle over the three regions are mostly driven by changes in surface heat fluxes.
The thesis also presents a novel ensemble-based framework for diagnosing forced changes in regional climate variability. Changes in climate variability are commonly assessed in terms of changes in the variances of climate variables. The covariance response has received much less attention, despite the existence of large-scale modes of variability that induce covariations in climate variables over a wide range of spatial scales. Addressing this, the framework facilitiates a unified assessment of forced changes in the regional variances and covariances of climate variables.

We cut our arrival into the Atlanta airport too close for comfort for our morning trip to Aruba. With an international flight, we needed to arrive early in order to check-in. So we headed straight for the new Atlanta International Airport Terminal F. The parking situation at this terminal is great. A few minutes after arrival we were in the short security line with boarding passes in hand.
We chose Aruba for this quick getaway for a few reasons. Growing up in Florida, we always pay close attention to Hurricanes. Not only because they effect our well being, but they also effect our ability to travel to the Caribbean during peak Hurricane season. But one place comes to mind instantly when we think of venturing to the Caribbean during Hurricane season, Aruba and the Hyatt Regency.
The Atlanta International Terminal is our go to check-in terminal for international trips. We pulled into our parking space with 17 minutes to spare this morning. Within minutes, we were fully checked in and heading through security. There is rarely a disappointing view at the F Terminal, check out the view of the Lufthansa, Korean Air, and Air France planes from only a few days ago.
This was Mrs Weekly Flyer's first time departing from the new Atlanta International Terminal so we looked around a bit, then headed over to the Terminal E SkyClub for a breakfast snack before our 4 hour flight to Aruba.
The E Terminal SkyClub was busy this particular morning. With only one SkyClub agent at the front desk, the line began to form outside of the SkyClub. Once inside, we found the usual assortment of snacks including bagels, muffins, oatmeal and bloody mary drinks.
After a few snacks I pulled up my Delta iPhone application to check the status of our upgrade requests. I have Platinum status and Mrs Weekly Flyer has no status, so we weren't hopeful for an upgrade. But my heart skipped a beat when I viewed the picture below on my iPhone.
I noticed my flight class said Business (X) Class, which I thought meant we had both been upgraded. In my haste, I walked to the SkyClub desk and mentioned how I'd like to have my new boarding passes printed due to the upgrade. The agent said congratulations on the upgrade and directed us to the gate for the new boarding passes. My dreams would soon be shattered at the gate.
I checked the overhead monitors and things just didn't add up. The monitors showed me on the standby list as #2 and Mrs Weekly Flyer as #20. A quick check with the gate agent and again with my Delta iPhone application confirmed that the "Business (X)" referred to the fact that my reservation had been requested an upgrade, not confirmed an upgrade. So lesson learned, don't get excited if you see a class of service change on the application unless your seat is confirmed.
We boarded our Boeing 737-800 plane with the SkyPriority boarding class and were quickly settled into the second row of economy comfort.
Our strategy on this flight was to snag both aisle seats in economy comfort. Since Baby Weekly Flyer stayed behind at home we decided the aisle would give us both a little extra space. Speaking of extra space, a gentleman seated directly behind Mrs Weekly Flyer apparently purchased two seats (aisle and middle) to accommodate his need for a little extra room. I think this is the right thing to do for passengers in need of a little extra space.
There was a slight delay at departure. Two people had to leave the plane for some reason, and the flight left with about 4 empty seats in economy and a full First Class section. The food for purchase program was in full effect on this flight. We picked up a few snacks to nibble on with the free $200 credit from our Platinum American Express.
Mr 10 D asked the flight attendant to retrieve his bag during the flight service. He then proceeded to pull out about 5 in-flight certificates and used 2 for drinks and 3 for snacks. Things got interesting as the flight attendant arrived at our row. Mr and Mrs 11E and F ordered first. Mrs 11 E said she'd take two bottles of wine. Mrs Weekly Flyer looke at her and said "I like your style." Mr 11 F then said I'll take two bottles as well as did Mrs Weekly Flyer. The flight attendant joked that she was almost out of wine and it was only the second row. I couldn't be left behind and knew it would be a long time for them to return, so I picked up two cold ones for the four hour flight a well.
On the way down, we received a note from a friend in San Juan that the weather in the Caribbean was fantastic this weekend. He sent a quick picture from the SJU airport after he landed on his American Airlines flight. Clear blue skies awaited us on our arrival into Aruba.
We passed to the west of San Juan on our way to Aruba. Crossing over Haiti and the Dominican Republic we snapped a few photos of the clear skies and blue water.
Arrival into the Aruba airport was a breeze. We walked through the terminal and passed through customs in about 10 minutes.
Flight from Venezuela on Venezolana airlines.
We then grabbed a taxi which cost about $25 USD from the airport to the Hyatt Regency Aruba.
The economy comfort aisle seat strategy worked great. We had plenty of extra room and the ability to chat across the aisle from each other for the quick 4 hour journey to one happy island, Aruba.
Just curious, where did you find that google flight plan map?
Hi Warmnuts – It was a great weekend trip. Weather was fantastic.
Hi Erik – I found that tracking map at Delta.com in their flight tracker page.
Not to be a troll or anything, but it should be "affect" not "effect". As in hurricanes Affect our well-being.
Any tips or suggestions for my upcoming trip to Aruba? First time international flyer with my soon to be fiance, and would like to be well planned ahead of time. How much cash did you bring? I'm always wary about traveling with any amount of cash however for vacations it seems very hard to avoid (taxi, tips, souvenirs, etc etc). I assume I can use my CSP/United or other card at the majority of places however spending money seems a necessity.
Hi Nate – I only brought cash for the casino. I pretty much put everything on my credit card that has no foreign transaction fees. I'd arrange for transportation from the airport through the hotel or with a car rental. Driving on the island is easy but the traffic was bad last time we were there.

I'll Take My Spoils Now
June 28, 2020 by Jason Morris
The statues and symbols that represent The Confederate States of America have again come to the forefront in The United States of America. I want you to take note right now how both of those nations are independent and different than one another. Hank Williams was wrong, If the south would've won I wouldn't had had it made. Instead, I wouldn't be permitted to love the people I love – my children couldn't play at the same parks or drink at the same water fountains as their children. Not only that, The Confederacy was the enemy of the country I served for, The United States of America. If you love The Confederacy and the ideals of white supremacy, you're the enemy of my country and you're my enemy.
Betwen 2000 and 2004 I served in the United States Navy. As a veteran, I've guarded the lives of men and women of color, as they have guarded mine. They stood their watch, I stood mine, for one another. I've been served and have served people of color, not because I must, but because I could. It was a true honor to have served with the many women and men of color who I could call shipmates. If you don't love people of color, you're not just their enemy, you're my enemy.
Over the last decade of my life some of the finest and best people I've ever known are people of color – I don't just like them, I love them. They have taught and coached my children as their own, I have taught and coached their children as my own. We have stood beside one another on football fields, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, soccer fields and at lacrosse tournaments. These families trusted us with their most precious gifts – their children, as we did them. I have loved on their families, and they have loved on mine. If you don't love people of color, you're not just their enemy, you're my enemy.
On April 9th, 1865 General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant and The Confederacy was no more. The Confederacy existed between 1861 and 1865, and they lost. The Confederacy does not exist any more, as it suffered a similar defeat to The Third Reich – they lost in compelling and convincing fashion and the world became a better place because of it. We, as the citizens of The United States of America are the victors. The victors of war get to enjoy the spoils, one such spoil is writing the history.
"To the victor goes the spoils" – William L. Marcy
For many years in America, there have been sympathizers to the southern cause. The man who shot and killed one of America's most beloved presidents, Abraham Lincoln, was a Confederate sympathizer. James Earl Ray, the man who murdered Martin Luther King, was also a sympathizer to the ideals of white supremacy. Yet, I consumed the the media that was tolerated within the main streams of American culture. I loved to watch The Dukes of Hazard, with the Confederate flag emblazoned on that bad-ass Hemi. Some of us even went to schools named after those Confederate leaders. For what it's worth, I still love that Hemi, but I don't love that flag. Here we are in 2020, many southern Americans celebrating the monuments of an ideal that was defeated more than 150 years ago. Below is a chart of monuments built to The Confederacy by year and I can't help but ask – why do the victors allow for this?

The short answer of why this has been allowed is because racism is not only tolerated in America today, it is celebrated. When the Allied Powers invaded and freed Germany from the Nazi regime, citizens and military alike destroyed symbols and statues that had been built to the Nazis. In America, we've tolerated the symbols of hate that The Confederacy built for too long. I'm here to tell you today, as a Victor who can enjoy the spoils of victory, I do not stand for this or with this.
In 2020 victorious American's are demanding these statutes and memorials be taken down. Slave owner? Take it down. Leader of The Confederacy? Take it down? White Supremacist? Take it down. If you believe differently, you're an enemy of the greatest country the world has ever seen, The United States of America. Today, we're taking it all down so that our children will enjoy the spoils of victory that we have been promised since 1865. I stand with my brothers and sisters of color, in a chorus of love and unison when I say this – take them all down, we're the victors and we're rewriting the history books today.

US unveils its criminal case against Huawei, alleging China giant stole trade secrets and violated Iran sanctions

Why the US is making an example out of China's Huawei

New York CNN Business —
The United States has filed criminal charges against Huawei, escalating its fight against the Chinese tech giant and potentially complicating efforts by Washington and Beijing to negotiate an end to their bruising trade war.
The Justice Department on Monday unsealed two cases against Huawei that detail a slew of allegations. One indictment accuses Huawei of trying to steal trade secrets from T-Mobile (TMUS), and of promising bonuses to employees who collected confidential information on competitors. A second indictment claims the company worked to skirt US sanctions on Iran.
The agency also revealed formal charges against Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer. Meng was arrested in Canada in December, and the United States is looking to extradite her.

Huawei's founder praises Trump and denies claims his company spies for China
"Today we are announcing that we are bringing criminal charges against telecommunications giant Huawei and its associates for nearly two dozen alleged crimes," Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said in a statement. "China must hold its citizens and Chinese companies accountable for complying with the law."
FBI Director Christopher Wray said at a press conference that Huawei "relied on dishonest business practices that contradict the economic principles that have allowed American companies and the United States to thrive."
"The prosperity that drives our economic security is inherently linked to our national security," Wray said. "And the immense influence that the Chinese government holds over Chinese corporations like Huawei represents a threat to both."
Huawei said Tuesday it was "disappointed" by the US move to bring charges against it.
"The company denies that it or its subsidiary or affiliate have committed any of the asserted violations of US law set forth in each of the indictments, is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng, and believes the US courts will ultimately reach the same conclusion," it said in a statement.

The Chinese government reacted angrily to the charges, accusing the United States of using "its state power to smear and crack down on targeted Chinese companies in an attempt to kill their normal and legal business operations."
"We strongly urge the United States to stop its unreasonable crackdown on Chinese companies, including Huawei," Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a statement. He added that the United States should "immediately withdraw its arrest warrant on Ms. Meng and refrain from making a formal extradition request to avoid walking farther down a wrong path."
The charges
A 10-count indictment, which was filed in Washington state, claims that Huawei worked for years to steal T-Mobile's proprietary phone testing technology, known as "Tappy." Huawei supplied phones to T-Mobile, and had access to some information about Tappy because of that relationship.
Huawei was also building its own phone-testing robot in China. Federal prosecutors claim the company repeatedly directed its own employees to gather details about how Tappy worked — a violation of the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements it had with T-Mobile.

Employees were allegedly asked to send information such as photos, measurements and the serial numbers of various components. One employee was caught stealing one of the robot's arms by placing it in his bag, according to court documents.
US prosecutors say that Huawei then obstructed justice when the T-Mobile, which is based in Washington, threatened to sue it.
Huawei allegedly came up with a false and misleading report about the attempts to steal Tappy technology, in which it blamed rogue employees. At the same time, the company launched a formal bonus program that rewarded employees who stole trade secrets from competitors, according to the indictment.
The government also unsealed a 13-count indictment against Huawei and Meng in Brooklyn federal court. That document details an alleged scheme by Huawei to deceive financial institutions and the US government about its business in Iran.
According to the indictment, the deception goes back to mid-2007, when Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei, falsely told the FBI that the company did not violate any US export laws, and that it had not dealt directly with any Iranian company.
The company and Meng are also said to have claimed that an affiliate, Skycom, was a separate company in order to conduct business in the country, when in fact it was a subsidiary.

US officials claim that more deceptive statements followed a series of Reuters articles detailing Huawei's control of Skycom.
The indictment details an episode in 2013 when Meng is said to have made false claims at a meeting with one of Huawei's banks. Though it's not named in court documents, Meng's lawyer previously identified the bank as HSBC (HSBC).
Meng walked through a PowerPoint presentation in Chinese, according to the indictment. A translation later sent to the bank allegedly included "numerous misrepresentations," such as a claim that Huawei's work with Skycom consisted of "normal business cooperation."
HSBC is said to have cleared more than $100 million in Skycom transactions that traveled through the United States between 2010 and 2014 before ending the relationship around 2017.
Meng has denied any wrongdoing. Huawei said Tuesday that it had attempted to discuss the case with the US Justice Department after her arrest in December but that "the request was rejected without explanation."
In response to a request for comment, HSBC said that "the US Department of Justice has confirmed that HSBC is not under investigation in this case."
Huawei under fire
The charges from the United States increase pressure on Huawei, one of China's tech champions and a crucial part of the country's efforts to take a key role in the rollout of superfast 5G wireless networks.
The United States has said for years that Huawei poses a potential national security threat. But government efforts to rein in alleged abuses by the company have escalated in recent months.

Meng's arrest in December set off a geopolitical firestorm and has strained relations between the US, Canada and China. China has repeatedly called the detention of Meng, who was released on bail, a political move.
But the United States on Monday reiterated its intention to move forward with the extradition process. Meng is due back in court again in Canada on February 6. (Update: A Canadian judge on Tuesday moved her next court appearance to March 6.)
Congress is also considering legislation that would ban the sale of US parts to any Chinese telecom firm that has violated US export control laws or sanctions, a measure that expressly targets Huawei.
"It has been clear for some time that Huawei poses a threat to our national security, and I applaud the Trump administration for taking steps to finally hold the company accountable," Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat, said in a statement Monday.

Huawei executive: Tech is the biggest loser in the trade war
Importantly, the charges come as the United States and China are racing to cut a deal on trade before March 1, when US tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods will otherwise rise to 25% from 10%. Vice Premier Liu He is scheduled to travel to the United States for two days of talks starting Wednesday.
It's not clear how Monday's announcement will factor into negotiations. President Donald Trump previously suggested that he may intervene in the Meng case if it would help reach a trade deal with China.
Huawei is under fire in other parts of the world, too.
Earlier this month, a Huawei executive was arrested in Poland on charges of spying for China. The company has since fired the employee. And Germany and other European countries are reportedly considering barring Huawei equipment from the country's 5G networks. The company is already banned from supplying 5G equipment to Australia and New Zealand.

According to a local saying in Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, "Those loved by God are brought here." This sentiment is easy to understand since the Bavarian Alps can seem like heaven on Earth.
For my family (myself, my Backroads husband and our toddler), it's our favorite place in the world to play and relax. We live nearby in central Germany in a traditional, multi-generational home--and if it weren't for the pull of being close to extended family, we would move to Bavaria in a heartbeat.
I was over the moon when we received the green light to develop a new Backroads Walking & Hiking trip in Bavaria and Tyrol, from Salzburg to Munich. Not only could we bring guests to this gorgeous and relatively unknown corner of the world, but for me personally it would be that perfect combination of work and pleasure.
The landscapes--snowcapped mountains, crystal clear lakes, alpine meadows bursting with wildflowers, shady forests--are both inspiring and soothing. And then layer the history into all that natural beauty--the whimsical castles of Bavarian kings, Napoleon's advance through the region, the eerie remains of Hitler's mountain retreat, the filming of The Sound of Music, a mysterious stone circle said to contain a natural force field and long-standing traditions from alpine farming to World Cup skiing. At the end of a day of hiking here, I feel exhilarated, exhausted, refreshed and with a lot to think about.
And it's just so easy to be active outdoors here. The Bavarian and Tyrolean Alps have the best infrastructure imaginable with miles and miles of well-marked trails of all difficulty levels, mountain alms (traditional huts for rest and refreshment) to soak in views and savor local specialties, and outstanding hotels and restaurants to return to at the end of the hike. All three of the Backroads properties have extensive spas and two of them feature Michelin-starred restaurants to round out a great day of hiking.
The people I've met along the way have also quickly become friends. I'm love introducing Backroads guests to the locals who join us throughout our journey. Take Sabine, for example--a private Tyrolean chef who prepares a meal for us in her garden. When I first met Sabine she greeted me with a warm smile, squeeze of the arm and a twinkle in her eye; we had an instant connection. And that was cemented after tasting her fresh apricot cake. It's the best I've ever had (even better than my German grandmother's--and I didn't think that was possible). Her personality and food perfectly reflect the gemütlichkeit (coziness) of the region.
I originally thought that designing this trip would be easy. I was wrong. The difficulty lay in choosing between the myriad amazing hikes, cultural experiences and superb properties. I've never experienced such luxury when creating a trip in any other place in the world. So I hiked and hiked and hiked, stayed in beautiful properties, and met many interesting local guides and experts (tough job, I know) until I felt we had an incredible trip that truly highlights everything the region has to offer.
Now I treasure bringing Backroads guests to Bavaria and Tyrol on our new Salzburg to Munich Walking & Hiking trip. I hope to see you here! I'd love to show you around.
Cat grew up on a blissful little island in Lake Ontario (on the Canadian side), and did everything she was supposed to – volunteered, played sports, went to graduate school, landed a great job in public service, and was "settled." Then she found Backroads. Now Cat is 12 years into her Backroads career and still going strong. She has worked in 19 countries, wearing many different hats along the way (both literally and figuratively). Always a Trip Leader, she also works in Trip Development and on the Hiring and Training Team. Today, she and her husband balance their work at Backroads with raising their toddler. They have a home base in a tiny village in the German countryside, where they spend about half the year. The other half they can be found out-and-about exploring the world.
I know it's early but, in 2020, probably May or June, would it possible for Backroads to modify this trip so that 'A Hiker's Heaven in Bavaria and Tyrol' can include tickets to the Oberammergau Passion Play? Thank you.
The Oberammergau Passion Play is also on my 2020 list of adventures!
If the 2020 performance schedule is similar to the 2010 schedule, then unfortunately, the timing doesn't work out well during the trip. However, it could work very well post-trip. Our Backroads trip concludes on a Friday with a walk around Neuschwanstein Castle in the morning and then a bus transfer to Munich. Instead of taking the bus to Munich, you could arrange transportation from Neuschwanstein Castle (or the nearby town of Fuessen) to Oberammergau (about 1 hour). This allows you to settle into Oberammergau and attend the Friday evening performance. On the following day (Saturday), you could then make your way to Munich.
Some timing to consider – tickets will go on sale for the Passion Play sometime in 2017 (the actual date is still unknown), and Backroads should have the dates for the 2020 trips posted in early 2018. May is still too early in the season for our Bavaria & Tyrol hiking trip, but June is perfect.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact a Trip Consultant.
Hey Cat, this looks like a lovely trip. I'm traveling from India to Bavaria in mid May 2018. Is the weather too wet and dreary for hiking or are there chances for clear skies and great views of the alps?
It IS a lovely trip and region! So glad you are making it to this corner of the world.
In mid-May, the weather can go either way, there is a chance of lingering snow at the alpine levels, and some of the cable cars and alms may not be open. That's why we wait until June to start our Backroads trips. That said, May has the potential for some lovely hiking, and if you are flexible to both alpine or valley routes, and have some bad-weather back-up options (i.e. staying at a spa hotel), then I'm sure you will have a great time.

Venus diapirs: Thermal or compositional?
V. L. Hansen
Earth & Environmental Sciences-Duluth
The Venus surface exhibits quasi-circular structures with a bimodal size distribution; there are at least 17 large (∼1300-2600-km diameter) crustal plateaus and volcanic rises, which form major geomorphic features, and ∼515 smaller (200-km median diameter) coronae. All of these features-plateaus, rises, and coronae-are interpreted to be the surface signature of mantle diapirs. Diapirs are driven by buoyancy, which is a function of diapir size and diaper-host density contrast, which can be a function of thermal or compositional differences. Plateaus and rises apparently represent the surface signature of deep-mantle thermal diapirs that interacted, respectively, with ancient thin lithosphere and contemporary thick lithosphere. Existing coronae models either do not specify the nature of diapir buoyancy or assume a density difference resulting from thermal differences. I contrast the geological implications of end-member thermal and compositional buoyancy to provide insight into the mechanisms of Venusian diapirism operating at different scales. The analysis indicates that median-size coronae likely represent the surface expression of compositionally driven, rather than thermal, diapirs, whereas plateaus and rises form from large thermal diapirs. The bimodality and surface distribution of Venus' large (plateaus/rises) and small (coronae) diapiric structures might therefore reflect different mechanisms of diapir formation. Thermally driven deep-mantle plumes, initiated along a warm lower boundary layer, rise through the mantle to the lithosphere, forming plateaus and rises; these plumes would transfer heat from the core. Broad mantle upwellings, which presumably formed in response to a cold upper boundary layer, might generate compositional diapirs at relatively shallow levels in the upper mantle; compositional diapirs, rising to form corona chains, would transfer heat from the mantle. Corona clusters result from compositional diapirs spawned locally by plumes of deep-mantle origin; corona clusters therefore would also represent heat transferred from the mantle, but their formation would be triggered by thermal anomalies from the core-mantle boundary. Isolated coronae probably formed only when the lithosphere was thin, because they occur in regions where the lithosphere is currently too thick to transmit small, diapiric signatures to the surface.

Eyeshadow Addicts Anonymous: NEUTRAL LOOK WITH NAKED2 PALETTE!
NEUTRAL LOOK WITH NAKED2 PALETTE!
HELLO LADIES!! It's been a couple days since I did a post, so I decided to do an Eye of the Day!
I did a VERY neutral look using mostly the Naked2 Palette by Urban Decay with a couple MAC shadows thrown in the mix. I love the Naked2 but it is definitely missing some key elements… like a transition shade!!! Anywho, this look is meant to be a little more effortless, so don't worry about doing exact placement.
HAVE A GREAT DAY, AND DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!!!

Labour law in France
You are here: Home / Company Law
When establishing a company in France, company founders are required to choose the form of their future legal entity. French company law offers a variety of different corporate structures. The choice is decisive for the future legal status as well as for tax, administrative and labour law purposes. A chosen company structure can be changed at any time via a resolution of the company's shareholders.
In France, a notary is not required to establish a company. As lawyers specialising in company law in France, we can take care of the establishment of your company and support and accompany you in all related legal matters.
Do you have questions about French Labour Law?
Types of legal entities in France
Here below you will find a quick outline of the different types of legal entities in France:
The limited liability partnership Société en nom collectif (SNC)
The Société en nom collectif (SNC) is a company form in which the shareholders (at least 2) have a commercial status and are jointly liable for the debts of the company. There is no minimum capital.
The public limited liability company Société anonyme (SA)
The Société anonyme (SA) is a corporation with at least 2 shareholders. This French entity can be managed by a board of directors with a chairman or by a supervisory board with an administrative director.
The private limited liability company Société à responsabilité limitée (SARL)
The Société à responsabilité limitée (SARL) is a legal entity in which shareholders (between 2 and 100) are only liable for the debts of the company up to their personal capital contribution. There is no minimum capital requirement in France.
Other French legal entities:
– If there is only one shareholder, the company is a Entreprise unipersonnelle à responsabilité limitée (EURL).
– If partners perform a regulated liberal profession (ex. doctors or lawyers), the company is a Société d'exercice libéral à responsabilité limitée (SELARL). If a public limited liability company needs to be established, it takes the legal form of a Société d'exercice libéral à forme anonyme (SELAFA).
– A Société d'exercice libéral par actions simplifiée (SELAS) can also be established as a simplified limited liability company (see below).
The simplified limited liability company Société par actions simplifiée (SAS)
The Société par actions simplifiée (SAS) is a very popular legal entity in France. It is a simplified capital company in which shareholders (at least 2) are only liable for the company's debts up to their personal capital contribution (like in the private limited liability company (SARL)). No minimum capital is required. Compared to the SARL, the company's founders have a lot more freedom when it comes to the articles of association. If there is only one shareholder, the legal entity is a Société par actions simplifiée unipersonnelle (SASU).
Establishing a French company
In France companies are established with the local company register (RCS) of the commercial court having jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is determined by the location of the company's registered office. Registration takes approximately two weeks. Without registration, the company has no legal personality and therefore cannot act in its external business relationships.
In addition, in France it is mandatory to open a company bank account in which at least half of the share capital must be paid in. French banks usually require the bank account to be opened in the presence of the future company's director. Furthermore, the company also requires a registered office, that can either be a rented office space or a mere post-box.
When a company is incorporated in France, individuals holding more than 25% of the share capital or having more than 25% of the voting rights in the company need to be declared to the register. After registration in the commercial register, the company receives a "Kbis", which is the commercial register extract. Extract from the commercial register, articles of association and shareholders' resolutions can be requested and viewed on the official register's website: www.infogreffe.fr
Tax advisers and company auditors in France
All companies incorporated in France are subject to accounting obligations. For instance, companies must file balance sheets annually with the commercial register. Many companies delegate accounting obligations to external tax advisors if they do not have their own internal accounting. However, there is no legal obligation to appoint a tax advisor.
The appointment of a company auditor, so-called Commissaire aux comptes, needs to be distinguished from the company's tax advisor. The legal requirement to appoint a French company auditor for a duration of at least 6 years depends on the company's balance sheet, its turnover and the number of employees. For example, for a SARL, the appointment of a company auditor is mandatory if two of the three following thresholds are met:
– € 4,000,000 balance sheet total
– € 8,000,000 turnover (excluding VAT)
– 50 employees
An auditor may also be appointed at the request of shareholders with at least 1/3 of the share capital. Failure to appoint an auditor despite exceeding the thresholds is punishable by imprisonment of 2 years and a fine of € 30,000.
Liability of managing directors in France
When establishing a company in France and during the entire duration of the managing director's appointment, she/he is civilly and criminally liable and bears responsibility for tax problems in case of mismanagement. This applies both internally and externally. Mistakes by a managing director occur when he/she is performing his/her duties, in an active as well as passive manner.
The basic requirement is an error of the director causing damage (e.g. non-compliance with the articles of association or disloyal behaviour towards the company). In external relationships, the wrongful conduct of the managing director has the consequence that the company itself is bound by the act towards third parties. Unless the other party can be proven to have acted in bad faith.
In event of insolvency, the insolvency administrator may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for misconduct by the managing director. The company's managing director is then liable with his/her private assets. Even in the case of shareholders whose liability is reduced to the share capital, the liability limit may be extended under certain circumstances.
Insolvency procedures in France
A company is legally insolvent when its available funds (assets) are no longer sufficient to meet its liabilities. In such event, an application for insolvency, the Dépôt de Bilan, must be filed with the commercial or district court. The insolvency petition must be filed with the court having jurisdiction within a maximum of 45 days from the date of insolvency. Failure to do so may amount to an insolvency delay.
French law offers different insolvency procedures, depending on whether the company can be restructured (redressement or liquidation). In certain circumstances, it is also possible to seek the protection of the court in the event of financial difficulties without filing for insolvency (Procédure de Sauvegarde or Conciliation).
Notwithstanding the above, a company may be dissolved by a resolution of the shareholders at any time. If the parent company abroad is the sole shareholder of the French subsidiary, a so-called transmission universelle de patrimoine, also called TUP, i.e. "merger", automatically takes place with the dissolution of the subsidiary.
Conclusion: Company Law France
There are a many legal aspects that must be consider when establishing a company in France. From choosing the appropriate corporate structure to establishing the company in France as well considering tax and liability-related questions. As lawyers specialising in French corporate law, we support and accompany you during the establishment and existence of your company in France.

There are few things more western than drinking whiskey or fighting over water.
More than one group has its eye on the right to use the water in Silver Lake, about 40 miles west of Butte. Although Butte's water rights, which include the Silver Lake system, are about as clear as mud, it appears that there is enough water for everyone at this stage.
Bryan Gartland, the state water bureau's water resource manager, says Butte is "very fortunate" because it has a lot of water to work with.


Hi everyone! When I first tried out the screen ink together with the beautiful art screen 'wood' I had the idea of this card which I am showing you today.
I made a whole set with 6 cards in total because I will need them for family members. So I cut down pieces with 11 x 11 cm (4,3 x 4,3 inch) and used the art screen and screen ink like a stencil. After letting it completely try I put gold foil on top of it and ran it through my Minc machine. I also tried a background using minc paper from the 5th avenue collection.
Then I diecut frames out of gold glitter cardstock using the second largest die from the 'stitched square scalloped frames' from My Favorite Things. I also used the same die to cut the inside of the frame out of white cardstock.
Then I stamped the cute images from 'deer friends' (MFT) with lawn fawn ink pads. I also added the small sentiment from the 'mini messages' stamp set (Mama Elephant).
To add more interest I diecut white birch trees with the MFT die, adhered them next to the deer and ran the whole square piece again through my Big Shot using the same square die as before - so that I have the same edges for the trees as well.
After that I adhered everything to a craft cardbase!
Hi there! Halloween is right around the corner so I decided to make a last card inspired by the color scheme Lawnscaping challenge no. 140.
I did a bit of masking for the background because except for the vampire the whole scene has only one layer.
To mask off the ground I diecut one of the 'landscape trio' dies from Mama Elephant and created a diy mask. I did the same process to mask off the moon. For the sky and earth I blended distress inks (earth: ground espresso and black soot; sky: milled lavender, wilted violet, chipped sapphiere and black soot).
The other images I colored in with the Gansai Tambi watercolors. Beside the two colors purple and black I decided to use a blueish grey.
After everything was dry I added some stars with opaque white and adhered the dracula with a small action whobbler to the card to create more interest.
Last but not least I adhered the whole scene to a silver cardbase (I used silver because I ran out of grey ones and it was the perfect color to create a little bit of contrast but not distract from the actual scene).
Hi there! Between all the Christmas cards I needed a baby card for my sister to give to a friend. I decided to make one extra card for my stash too.
On of my favorite baby stamp sets is 'new family' from Mama Elephant. I teamed it up with the 'calli letters' set to create a pretty sentiment.
I used Copic markers to color in the adorable images and diecut the piece of paper with MFT 'stitched scallop basic edges'. After that I adhered a pattern paper from MFT 'homespun gingham' to a metallic card base and adhered the diecut piece with foam tape to the rest of the card.
Copic Markers: BG0000, BG10, E30, E31, E50, G12, R00, Y000, Y11, Y15, YG11, YR00, YR02.
