PIER PALACE
By the time members of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colony sailed into the Matagorda Bay to settle the area in 1822, the remains of the French shipwreck La Belle had already been laying on the bottom of the shallow bay, undiscovered, for almost two centuries. Almost a hundred years later, the town of Palacios was established along an inlet of Matagorda Bay but the shipwreck remained invisible to Palacios residence despite lying close enough offshore that fishing boats must have passed over it every day. But Palacios citizens were pretty busy with other things, including constructing their new town. One of the first public buildings completed in the new settlement was called the "Pleasure Pavilion", a two-story open air pier along the waterfront with two large wings on either side. The Pavilion served as entertainment center, including dancing, skating, basketball, and, of course, fishing. A hurricane destroyed the original Pavilion in 1934 and Hurricane Carla, the devastating storm of 1961, destroyed the replacement. In 1991 Palacios residence constructed yet another new pavilion in its place. In fact, today Palacios maintains three piers, all lighted, creating ideal conditions for night fishing. Palacios is also home to over 400 shrimping vessels, adding credence to its title as "shrimp capital of Texas". And the La Belle? Texas Historical Commission archeologists discovered its resting spot in the 1990's and brought over a million artifacts to light. Palacio's City by the Sea Museum celebrates the discovery by participating in the La Salle Odyssey, a seven museum exhibition of La Belle artifacts.

History made at Northerns Cricket Union AGM
SA Domestic
Tebogo Siko has become Northerns Cricket Union's first black President, following the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which was held in the President Suite at SuperSport Park on Monday, 23 July.
Siko hails from Soshanguve Cricket Club, and has a reputation as an excellent administrator with a strong background in amateur cricket, as well as board governance. His appointment was welcomed by Titans Chief Executive Officer, Dr Jacques Faul.
"Tebogo's sound knowledge of cricket will help in guiding the Union and also ensure that the pipeline remains a focus of the entities," Dr Faul commented.
He also thanked the outgoing Members of the Board, who have overseen a period of sustained success on and off the field, with some strong commercial relationships formed for the Union.
"We wish to congratulate the Board who have served with a commitment unmatched. The results both on and off the field bear testament to this tenure."
At the AGM, board incumbents Tasmeen Moosa and Isaac Theledi stepped down. Moosa is a former Treasurer of the Union, while Theledi was an invaluable member of several sub-committees during his term of service. Tsholofelo Jewawa and Eugene Phasha were newly elected on to the Board of NCU.
The annual meeting was an opportunity to also reflect on a very strong 2017/18 period, where all the cricketing programmes within the Union returned excellent results on the field, to go along with the encouraging off-field partnerships formed. As the Union looks to continue its upward curve in governance and administration, the Integrated Annual Report was also presented, and its focus was on the interpreted six business capitals.
The evening also saw the awarding of the prestigious Christie Vlok Award to Afrika Dido, Charles Kekana, Traci Meyer, Wally Nel, and Pieter Roux. Kekana and Roux were awarded their accolades posthumously.

The referring nephrologist undertakes the work up for kidney transplantation.
The optimal time for referral for kidney transplantation is prior to commencement of dialysis, and the agreed guideline for referral is when the estimated GFR is <20ml/minute.
Patients are referred to the transplant assessment clinic, where they may be seen by any one of the consultant transplant surgeons, +/- consultant nephrologist and a renal recipient coordinator.
The referral letter must be accompanied by the transplant recipient checklist and summary (see Referral for Transplant; or complete relevant EPR Vitaldata sections. In principle it has been agreed that this checklist provides comprehensive information that should be sufficient to make a decision about listing in the majority of cases.
If the consultant surgeon requests further investigations, these are outlined in the Outcome of assessment page, which remains in the patient's notes.
The person responsible for ordering further investigations must be explicit within in the clinic letter. This will vary depending on whether the patient is local or from one of the referring centres.
The transplant coordinator will arrange for copies of all the required investigations prior to listing, and the checklist for these will be completed.
When investigations are complete, the transplant team will review the results in a timely fashion.
The decision about listing the candidate for kidney transplantation will be made by the transplant surgeons and nephrologists after discussion with the multi-disciplinary team and the patient.
GREEN – straight forward, no significant concerns. Patients to be reviewed initially in 2 years and then annually.
AMBER – concerns re. suitability for transplant, should be reviewed at least annually.
RED – significant concerns re. suitability for transplant. Consideration should be given 6 monthly as to whether or not the patient should remain on the waiting list.
The patient will be directly informed, verbally and in writing, of the decision regarding listing by the transplant coordinator.
Patients will have the opportunity for detailed discussion regarding kidney transplantation and will be counselled with respect to relative risks and benefits of cadaveric and living donor kidney transplantation.
An information booklet is also given to the patient to support the verbal information given at the assessment clinic.
National NHSBT/BTS guidelines advise that informed consent should be obtained from the patient at the time of acceptance for inclusion on the waiting list. More details with regards consent are in Appendix II.

Home/Blog/November 2022 Brand Report – $607,157
BlogBrandReport
December 12, 2022Last Updated: December 13, 2022
Welcome to the November 2022 edition of the Brand Report! Each month, we'll break down our monthly revenue so you can see what's working and what's not.
Last 12 months: $8,734,283
Our November revenue was $607,157 which was, once again, significantly below October's revenue of $641,927, even with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Almost all of our brands are, for better or worse, relatively insulated from the BFCM rush except for Wild Baby due to the fact that the products are summer seasonal.
Overall, here's my assessment of how Black Friday and Cyber Monday were this year relative to other years (including EcomCrew's Black Friday sale): sales were slightly down as opposed to other years, although it wasn't the gigantic drop I predicted. I've heard some businesses report mammoth sales for Black Friday, which I suspect could mean either they deeply discounted (thanks to surplus inventory) or they were exceptions to the norm. We'll get to find out how the holidays actually fared this year when the major public retailers start releasing their Q4 results in a few weeks.
What We Worked on This Month
Continuing to work on creating more UGC Videos and Photos. We continued to double down on acquiring a strong library of UGC for 2023 with JoinBrands. We'll be hosting a free webinar on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, where we'll show you how we're using this UGC in our listings, how much we're paying, and what kinds of products it works well for. (JoinBrands also has a special surprise for our attendees.)
Las Vegas Meet-Up. I flew down to Vegas for a couple of nights to meet with Mike and do a bit of planning for 2023 for the stuff we run together. Minus the terrible flu I caught on the way down, the two days were productive and allowed us to address a few of the major concerns and priorities for 2023.
Wins for This Month
New brand Style Guide completed. As I've talked about in the last couple of months, I've been working with an agency (and also a good friend) on a brand refresh for one of my brands. The new style guide is now complete and, as expected, the agency hit it out of the park on the branding. Our two graphic designers have now been spending most of the month getting this new branding implemented into our next production runs.
Improvement of payment terms with a major supplier. I worked with a supplier to improve our 2023 payment terms, going from 50% upon shipment and 50% 30 days later to 50% upon shipment and 50% 60 days later. It's a win-win for everyone because without it, we would have throttled our growth a bit in 2023 due to the increasing cost of capital (see below). A lot of Chinese suppliers are likely to be hungry for orders in 2023, and I suspect many suppliers will be open to creative financing.
Losses for This Month
Too much inventory. Many of our brands are facing the same perils a lot of retailers are suffering from right now: we are overstocked. I compared the total inventory on hand this year to last year and we're at 3x this time last year. Some of this is justified by the fact that we've grown a bit in that time, but at a minimum, we probably have twice as much inventory on hand as we need.
Rising interest rates. Directly related to the above, the rise in interest rates is having a material impact on the bottom line. Consider that interest rates are more or less double this time last year. Also, consider that we're essentially twice as leveraged as last year. Basically, it means that financing costs are nearly 4x what they were last year. The positive side is that interest is always an add-back on any potential sale, but it can still create a cash flow crisis if not kept in check.

What Is the Secret to Having More Miracles in your Life?
The Blog What Is the Secret to Having More Miracles in your Life?
I'll bet your first response was "Well, of course!" Probably with just a wee touch of indignation.
Snarkiness aside, saying "I'm open to receive" is just the first step. Taking action is the second. Accepting is the third.
Have you prepared yourself to receive miracles in whatever way they come or are you putting restrictions and limitations what your miracles "should" look like? To a large extent, our definition of what qualifies as a miracle may be getting in the way.
How do you define "miracle"?
We have this common human mindset that miracles are all fluffy, pretty, happy events.
However, the real commonality is that miracles all have a beneficial outcome. Sometimes, in the thick of things as those miracles are unfolding, they look more like trials or troubles. They can be painful or even perilous. They are still miracles because they are addressing exactly what your soul is yearning to remember and are stepping stones to exactly where you want to be, the awakening that you want to occur. Think about this: Exorcisms and cures, unpleasant as they may be in their process, are considered miracles. Childbirth is a natural miracle, yet it can be excruciatingly painful for both the mom and the baby while it's happening.
Are you willing to expand your definition so you can be fully receptive and allow miracles to come in whatever way is best for you rather than whatever way you dictate? Are you willing to clear out your preconceived ideas, checklists, and "shoulds," so miracles can flow freely?
Miracles are typically thought of as something new, fresh, and different instead of whatever is here right now. If you are feeling unhappy with something in the here and now, if you are looking outside of yourself for a miracle, you are being nudged to practice acceptance. Miracles come from within. You cannot find them outside of yourself. That's not where they live.
Acceptance does not mean accepting staying stuck. It does mean retraining yourself to appreciate the wisdom of each present moment as a way to open your eyes and hearts. Every moment, regardless of what is happening, is a miracle of life. Appreciating that is becoming a good steward – when you are faithful and grateful in each moment, you will be given more to be faithful and grateful about. But when you judge moments as "good" or "bad," you set yourself up for staying in that same place until you get it.
The best way to create something fresh and new, a miracle if you will, is to look inward and clean up your own mess. External "fresh and new" can only cover up your personal toxic waste dump for a little while. Eventually, that mess explodes to the surface again, destroying your new creation. That's why jumping to a new relationship or job before bringing the old to its conclusion or buying more new "stuff" without cleaning out your closet to make space so rarely works out long term. Those are just covering up the root cause and putting more junk in the way of the real miracles that are knocking on your door. It's kind of like putting on clean clothes when you desperately need a shower. You might look better, but the stench is still there.
Let's say you keep creating the same unsatisfying relationships over and over. Any kind of relationship. Instead of ruminating, feeling down in the dumps, or feeling sorry for yourself, pause. Ask the common denominator in those relationships to reveal itself. Then be open to whatever it is. Chances are you already know the answer. It may not be pretty, but just knowing what it is will be a little miracle itself.
About 20 years ago, it finally dawned on me that the only common denominator in all my relationships and experiences was me. Not my parents or colleagues or lovers – they were an ever-changing cast of characters. I was the only one in each scene. At first, that bummed me out. You mean it wasn't because my parents screwed me up? Or colleagues dropped the ball? Or I only met guys who were all wrong? After a bit of a pity party, it gradually dawned on me that realizing this put me in the driver's seat. I could then see the experiential common denominator, what each relationship or incident was re-creating. That led to understanding that my soul loved me enough to keep putting me back in the same situation again and again until I got what it was showing me, which resulted in an understanding that I had asked to be shown this even before being born into this life. And that, of course, made me the originator of my own miracles.
Accepting that little truth opened the door to the greater truth and wisdom of every incident and relationship in my life. And I realized the miracles had always been flowing. I just couldn't see them.
Here's the bonus – if you start by cleaning up your mess, fresh and new will create itself automatically.
So then it became all about going with the flow, only there was still one more ah-ha.
On the surface, deciding to just let things flow freely from the heart sounds great. What could go wrong, right?
Think of a river. Despite the strength of the main current, eddies, whirlpools, branching creeks, and dead end sloughs can all create detours. Rocks and logs can block the way. All of them can get you sidetracked, stuck, and in places where you can't see your way out. Staying in the main current, the flow, takes focus and focused action. This can be a delicate dance. Too much and we're back to trying to control and manipulate. Too little and we are buffeted every which way.
The balance is learning to do your part and allowing the flow to do its part. Your part is cleaning and clearing to allow awareness and gratitude, then allowing the flow to carry you in the best way possible, maybe a way you haven't considered, rather than fighting it for control. Otherwise, you end up all over the place, directionless, faltering, and frustrated.
Do I Need to Become More Spiritual?
You are already divine by nature. Being a miracle is your birthright as a soul in human form. You are already a a Manifester of Miracles, even if you can't consciously see it quite yet.
Accessing miracles isn't about becoming more "spiritual" whatever the heck that means. We are spiritual by nature, by creation. "Spirituality" isn't attained by cleaning up your act and becoming a caricature of goodness by someone else's definition. It is in finally recognizing the divine truth of exactly WHO you are right now in each and every moment whether you are lovers or loners, warriors or peaceniks, mediators or rabble-rousers, entrepreneurs or worker bees. Accepting your own I AM....now that's enlightenment! And that is the door that opens to miracles.

Trans Memory Activism and Visibility: Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina
Daniele Salerno:
The Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina represents a group of trans activists who collect, organize, and circulate photographs and written materials (diaries, letters, postcards) about trans people in Argentina, with a focus on visual archiving. In 2020, in collaboration with Editorial Chaco, this group published an eponymous selection of photos and archival materials alongside short autobiographical texts. After the celebration of the International Trans Day of Visibility (March 31), a reflection on the Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina's book may help us to see the relationship between cultural memory, visuality, and social movements in the specific case of trans activism.
Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina, Editorial Chaco, 2020.
The archive dates back to the 2000s when the trans activist Claudia Pía Baudracco started to collect private pictures of friends and activists with the long-term project of building a trans archive. In 2012, Baudracco died and one of her friend, the activist María Belen Correa, opened a private Facebook group asking trans people in Argentina and abroad to join and share their private memories and pictures. Since 2014, with the support of the photographers Cecilia Estalles and Cecilia Saurí, the collection has been gradually transformed into an archive. In 2017, the Cultural Center of Memory Haroldo Conti in Buenos Aires – one of the most important Argentine memory institutions – hosted an Archivo de la Memoria Trans exhibition titled Esta se fué, a esta la mataron, esta murió [this one left, this one was killed, this one died]. Held in an important site for the symbolic and physical memory of post-dictatorship Argentina, the exhibition was the first public recognition of the trans archive.
Unfolded cover flaps with names from the Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina book.
The three first pages of the 2020 Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina demonstrate how the trans collective (re)position themselves as narrators. On opening the book, we find a black and white picture of a woman in profile against a white background. A short text follows, where a first-person and anonymous narrator describes the many meanings of the act of taking pictures in the daily life of a trans person. Turning the page, we see a woman who is taking a picture in the mirror. This sequence seems to use visual narration to depict a transformation in trans subjectivity: from portrait to self-portrait via a first-person account, the trans subject is repositioned from being the object of the gaze to providing the gaze that frames and organizes. This is the philosophy which underpins the trans archive, one which promotes the narration of trans memory in the first person.

The book is framed by two cover flaps that, unfolded, present a list of names and nicknames. The focus on names and naming has a close connection to activist causes in post-dictatorship Argentina, in terms both of the right to identity and the right to memory. Disappearance as a practice of repression was the notorious trademark of the last Argentine dictatorship and, in general, of the dictatorships in the Southern Cone under the US-backed campaign "Operation Condor". It entailed the systematic violation of the right to be remembered for the 30,000 disappeared and the right to identity – the right to a name, to family relationships, to public records – for the estimated 500 children born while their mothers were in captivity and 'appropriated' illegally, by perpetrators and their families. Human rights activists have collected information in order to reconstruct the biography of individual victims and to find the children, now adults, of the disappeared, who have lived their lives ignorant of the truth about their parents and their own real names. The mission of many activists, and now of the state, is to find these children so as to give them their original name and the story of their parents. Archives, databases, monuments, textual and artistic artefacts and commemorative occasions (like the National Day for the Right to Identity, on October 22) have been created with this purpose. One device for such acts of remembrance is the listing of names, as epitomized by the walls of the Parque de la Memoria where the names of the disappeared are engraved.
The Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina appropriates and resignifies the practice of listing name for another cause: to claim and celebrate the right to identity as the right to a gender identity, i.e. to have a recognized name, publicly recorded and reported on IDs, which is aligned with one's gender (this right was granted to trans people in Argentina in 2012). In its Facebook group, the Archivo asked members for their own names after gender transitioning and nicknames, as well as the names and nicknames of their friends and loved ones. More than 600 were collected and used for creating lists for different occasions, purposes, campaigns and media – including the 2020 book. The names and nicknames are preceded by a "la", the Spanish feminine for "the". The continuous repetition of the "la" gives the list a musicality, while the continuous use of the feminine article genders the practice of listing names.
Foldout flap from Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina.
The playful nature of the nicknames, the pink lettering and the musicality of the list, queer a commemorative practice that is mainly used for mourning. The practice is subverted by a celebratory tone transforming it into a poetic list. These names celebrate, perform and claim a right to gender identity, to visibility and to a public memory. They allow for the possibility of choosing one's own name and of being named by others in a way that chimes with one's own identity in both the private and the public sphere.
The case of the Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina epitomizes how memory and its practices and genres are crucial tools in activism. As a bricoleur of memory, the Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina adopt genres and practices for remembering (as we have seen in the specific example of naming), borrowed from other traditions and social groups, and creatively transform them in order to shape their own collective memories. Pictures and names, by making individual trans lives visible, play a central role in visually materializing a social group so that they can act and speak publicly. To investigate how LGBTQ activists do this through archives and related publications – as well as through commemorative marches and the use of memorial, monument and public spaces – is an issue that scholars still need to address within a memory studies agenda.

May 16, 2022 Why Patriot Power Source Has The Best Golf Cart Batteries For California
Testimonial from The Unrouted
Posted by Trey Conrad · November 02, 2021
Guest piece from The Unrouted on why they love their Patriot Power Source batteries.
My wife and I are full-time RVers, and we finally decided it was time to switch to lithium batteries. We're so glad we did because our life has been completely transformed. We bought our batteries from Patriot Power Source and, let me just say, this company is incredible.
Now, let me tell you our story and why you should consider using Patriot Power Source to make the switch to lithium batteries.
Our Experience with Lead-Acid Batteries
As I said, my wife and I have been living full-time in our RV for a little under a year now. As with most RV's, ours was initially equipped with four giant lead-acid 12V batteries. These batteries are terrible for this lifestyle, and I'll tell you why.
When living full time out on the road, the most important item to have available to you is power, and our rig uses plenty of it.
When we were using our lead-acid batteries, we couldn't travel more than six or seven hours, or we would arrive at our destination with our batteries depleted below 50%. Oftentimes we would not have enough juice left to open our slides or put our jacks down.
Our four 100Ah lead-acid batteries should have been providing 400Ah total, but only 200Ah was actually usable due to the fact that you can't deplete lead-acids under 50%. Total usage would last us about eight to twelve hours of battery time, if we were lucky.
We never understood how so many people could boondock or live off the grid when we were using our lead-acid batteries. We were running the generator six to eight hours a day just to keep them above 50%, which was miserable.
Not only that, but our travel days always revolved around checking the batteries' levels and seeing how much farther we could go before they died. There were many times we thought about just pulling into an RV park for the night and paying $60 for a spot, just to charge back up again, instead of making it to our destination.
After about six months, we were beyond frustrated and decided to see if lithium batteries would make a difference.
Our New Setup with Lithium Batteries
We purchased three 100 Ah 12V lithium batteries from Patriot Power Source, and we love them.
We now have 300 Ah of usable power, which gives us, on average, around 50 hours of battery life, with an average of 6 Ah of draw. Since we've made the switch, our lives have been transformed, and we finally understand how people can boondock.
We almost never think about the batteries anymore, and they last multiple days without a charge. We shed a ton of weight, and lithium batteries can be depleted all the way down to 0%, which, believe it or not, is a huge stress relief.
If they die while we are away, they die, no harm, no foul. We just charge them right back up. They easily handle our rig and our needs. We did not get that same feeling when we were using lead-acid batteries.
In fact, in February of next year, we are going to do a full solar conversion with 1160W of solar and a new 3000W inverter. With the help of solar, we plan on never needing to use our generator again. This wouldn't be possible without our Patriot Power Source lithium batteries.
Our Experience with Patriot Power Source
We love Patriot Power Source, the staff, and the product. We cannot say enough nice things about this company and its commitment to helping and providing the best service possible.
Working with this company has been a testament to customer service and professionalism. Not only were they friendly and helpful, but they were also able to ship these batteries to a campground in less than five days during a time when most of their competitors' batteries were backlogged and out of stock.
We are so glad we went with Patriot Power Source and their lithium batteries. We will never go with anyone else when choosing batteries in the future. Shout out to Trey for all his hard work in getting things set up for our trailer.

Starbeck Offers Hub for Creatives
A young entrepreneur turned craftsman is creating a new hub for artists and creatives in Starbeck, Harrogate.
Phil Fieldhouse, 27, spent lockdown crafting marble home accessories at Spa Studios, a flexible workspace within Spa Court which he runs with his brother, Lewis, on Spa Lane.
Phil Fieldhouse
The Fieldhouse brothers inherited Spa Studios after their mother passed away in 2019.
Phil said: "Lockdown gave us time as a family to really reflect and explore what positive impact we can create in our home town. We wanted to create a legacy for our mum, who was an entrepreneur alongside my father, and also very creative. She was fantastic at dressmaking, sewing and haberdashery as well as a gifted singer. She had a knack for interior design and an avid appreciation for fine art."
Spa Studios offers affordable workspaces with their own entrance, inclusive of high-speed internet connection, a communal kitchen, and free parking. It also offers online space for creatives to sell their wares on its bespoke Spa Studios ecommerce shop, supported by social media.
Phil, a civil engineer and graduate in marine conservation, also runs a busy sustainability consultancy and has consulted on projects around the world on eco-friendly infrastructure projects.
Phil said: "I describe myself as an entrepreneur for the environment. I design climate resilient infrastructure, combining 'green' nature-based solutions with 'grey' engineering, to integrate nature within the built environment and make society more sustainable. I also work to empower businesses to integrate sustainability into their everyday operations and to get better results, not just for their profits but their people and the planet."
"These are skills I can bring to Spa Studios. I have an ambition to invest in the property and create a business with a truly positive impact, for the community and our environment."
Spa Court is already home to a number of artists on site, including stained glass artist's, Caryl Hallett, Hilary Homes, fine artist Ruth Fitton and a commercial business, Saffie Bea Wax Melts, that creates toxin free and vegan friendly candles.
Caryl Hallet
Starbeck has been described as an "up and coming" area by entrepreneur Robert Thompson. Last month, a licence was granted to Mr Thompson for a new craft beer and coffee house in Starbeck, The Waiting Room, that plans to offer premium, local craft beers. Mr Thompson owns a number of bars across the district, including the SO! bars in Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon.
Equidistant to Knaresborough and Harrogate, Starbeck also features the nearby Longlands Common, now a community-owned woodland after a successful campaign to the public.
Phil said: "There's an exciting movement going on in Starbeck. Increasingly, people want to buy local and invest in local artisans. Lockdown has shown how important what's on our doorstep is. We've had boarded up shops and a pre-dominance of take-aways on Starbeck high street. Starbeck has great community spirit and warmth, but it needs investment. I think there's a real need for Spa Studios that offers a hub for creatives and small business owners, who share similar values."
He added: "I think Starbeck has a lot of potential. It's more affordable to live and work for young creatives than central Harrogate, and there's a very strong community spirit."

Free Ride – Robert Levine on copyright, piracy, and culture
by Stephanie Lawless
« How I Learned to Read Again
New York – a poem »
I move onto the subject of free speech and the inherent ambiguity in defining it with agencies like The Pirate Bay and – yes, you guessed it – Google. 'Remember when Galliano came out with this tirade? He went to jail! Now I'm Jewish so I thought what he did was offensive and stupid, but the idea that he went to jail seems absolutely foolish. First thing, if you are going to do something that stupid you are going to suffer from the fact that everybody thinks you're an idiot. The second thing is that if you make a crime out of saying things like this then you run the risk all of a sudden of people who will start thinking that they're important. Suddenly people will think that what this guy said must be really important. That's not necessarily a good thing, especially when the preponderance of evidence suggests that he was just a jackass. It wasn't something that was like a political statement. He just can't hold his liquor!"
Interesting. What about that famous case of the French Government telling Yahoo! that they couldn't post nazi memorabilia on their site and allow access to French audience?
Rob smiles in a way that I know will end in both reason and, perhaps a little dig at the French and their wilful ways. "I wouldn't presume to tell them what to do- I mean they're French. Part of their charm is that no one tells them what to do! Being weird and crazy is sort of their thing! No but seriously, the French don't have the first amendment like the US but I don't think that French society suffers because of it. When I look about their political culture, I don't think that it's really inhibited by the fact that you can't go around saying really racist stuff all the time. I think it's a weird law and find it foolish but you know, if they want to regulate online companies in a different way then who are we to tell them they can't."
And Google's Standard? "I find it weird that we presume to tell them to follow other laws. It's actually kind of creepy in a way. There is clearly a sense that Google wants to push a different standard of free speech on Europe. Maybe their standard's better. I don't really care but we ought to be very careful about the fact that it's coming from a company. Google sponsored this Human Rights conference. The whole idea that a company would sponsor a human rights conference…I mean…what the hell? I think a lot of what they want I would support and some of it I wouldn't but we should be a little suspicious about a company having a human rights conference. Who's going? Who's paying and how much? People should be asking those questions and they may come up with completely different answers to me and that's fine. What I find upsetting though is that people are not asking those questions."
We then move onto pondering why in fact people are not asking such questions. "Journalists have less time than they used to", says Levine with what I can only imagine is based on bitter experience in not always having the time to write about what you are most interested in. "I think journalists are always a little in love with something new and there is a reluctance to question the 'narrative'. Google is a great new thing. It's hard to question an established narrative. Narratives are so important and people don't realise sometimes how hard it is to deviate from it. So many people say to me 'Oh well you would favour censorship', but I wouldn't. I don't think that shutting down the Pirate Bay is censorship. It's more of a civil thing. They are violating people's rights – I mean, aside from Julian Assange most people think that Sweden has a pretty good system. They are not on trial in Qatar. It's a famously progressive country. There is a sense that this is so wrong because people get a basic frame for something and they don't really question it as much. Once you have that frame, the facts fit the frame."
Onto the piece de la resistance (well, according to this humble monkey anyway) of Freebird Records on Wicklow St – a den of serious eclecticism and general oddity- the strange arrangement of which Rob seems to revel in as much as me. "This place is awesome!", he says as makes a beeline toward yet another vinyl rack. We get talking about singles versus albums. I asked him how he felt about it. Are we actually changing in the way we think and feel about music now? Has the unbundling model of iTunes, for example altered the way we listen to and buy music? "Partly it has gone right back to the way it was, I mean when you think about bands- there were always 'albums' bands and 'singles' bands. Rock was always 'album' bands, like Led Zepplin. Stairway to Heaven never came out as a single. It was on the radio commercially but never as a single. They wanted to drive people to buy the album. Did they make the right decision? Judging on the amount of albums they sold…well I think it is. Do you think Michael Jackson could have done that with Thriller?- an R n'B star with a younger audience? probably not. He put out I think five singles. You practically get the whole album with singles. That was probably the right strategy for him."
What about Metallica and their fairly short-lived campaign against such models (Their songs are now in fact available on iTunes)? "Metallica never had a greatest hits album. Can you think of another band that never had a greatest hits album? ACDC. They both thought that their audience was an album-buying audience. If you think of Metallica- they do more than ACDC- they're are not a greatest hits kind of band because people who are into Metallica are into Metallica you know what I mean? Part of that band's appeal is its mystique. That works for them."
We have been dancing around this for a while now but the inevitability of the evil 'P' is beginning to assert itself. There has been much heated debate about whether or not piracy and the illegal downloading of creative content does any real measurable harm to the industry. I bring this up tentatively – what does piracy actually do, in real terms to music and book sales? I also bring up a recent study that asserts that music piracy actually encourages music sales in that people who download music illegally are also the ones who buy it the most.
"What piracy does it that it hurts the market. Everyone has these different statistics and they're all kind of nonsense. I do think that you do see damage. You see the music business falling apart. You do see much less investment in new acts. It matters. You see a loss in pricing power – that's damage too. It's not only loss in sales but an undercutting of pricing power. It's taking bad deals because you're afraid you won't have a deal. You have Amazon saying, 'let's sell this for ten dollars or someone will pirate it', you know?' That's damage too. How do you calculate that? I don't know. All that [study]proves is that the people who listen to music listen to music."
"Neither of my parents downloads any music illegally but neither of them buys CD's. Why? They don't like music! I don't really see a causal relationship there. Piracy hurts things a little until it undercuts the market- than it really hurts and you can see it. With books it's like selling books for ten bucks- it's not a big deal until somewhere like borders files for bankruptcy. When borders closed – everyone was like holy shit we're in trouble!' It's gradual. Once you had enough piracy to hurt borders, that made a difference. Barnes & Noble are probably going to stop selling CD's. Then what happens? Here at HMV. The biggest drop in music sales this year…. What was the cause of HMV closing? Piracy was part of the cause- not the whole cause- people like to buy online. But it was one the causes. I don't know how to isolate that, but in my defence, no one else does either."
What about the price of singles and books? What about those who pirate stuff that's too expensive? He smiles. "Different strategies work for different people. I think it's smart to respect that. I think some people will make the wrong decision but they have the right to make the wrong decision. I would argue that I have the right to price my book for 150 dollars. If I self-publish it, I could sell my book for 15 dollars and providing I'm not selling anything that's funded by the government or some emergency medical need essential for the populace, the market solution for this would be – don't buy it. It doesn't give you the right to pirate it. Don't buy it. That's the market. If you think about fair use, you don't want to have a market for free speech – anyone should have the right to review my book. You can excerpt from it, use the cover image and all that and it's fair use. You shouldn't have to license your right to quote me to say that I'm a jackass. That's really important. I'm pretty progressive. I don't want a market for water or healthcare. Does everyone have the right to food? I think so. Does everyone have the right to steak? I don't think so. You know it's funny. The same people who say that your book's a piece of sh**t demand the right to read it for nothing. It's like 'this is awful- why can't I have it for free?' This is a very funny phenomenon no? Take the example of academic textbooks. Academic textbooks are wildly overpriced so, therefore, copyright is broken but academic textbooks are a very small part of copyright. It's one hell of a leap! It is mostly academics who hate copyright. Everyone should be able to benefit from their creative work."
After much musical rifling, we then wend our way at a leisurely pace towards the gig- the talk at Hodges Figgis. He buys me a cookie (for which I will be eternally grateful – it was a spectacular cookie) and then we make our way inside the shop. "This must be great tourist attraction", says Rob as he takes in what is in fact an impressive shop – and the only one on Dawson St. since the disappearance of Waterstones across the road. "How many tourists would you get coming to see Facebook's headquarters hmm?" This raises a good point and one which I feel will be visited during his talk. The talk itself went well (notwithstanding technical difficulties – the irony of which was lost on no one) with minimal audience friction- for which I think Rob may actually have been disappointed. The talk itself was fairly brief, however, what it showed was that there are very few people in the industry who possess such in-depth knowledge of the current climate involving copyright and the creative industry. Whether you are 'pro' copyright or not, Free Ride is a must read on a subject that is only gaining in importance.

Brain Science: New Syntheses
The New York Academy of Sciences
Presented by the New York Academy of Sciences
The New Vistas Lecture Series has been created to celebrate the Academy's move to our new downtown home. In this series, the Academy has invited highly accomplished scientists to serve as hosts for an evening of "science at the frontiers." Each evening will feature talks by two up-and-coming scientists whose work has been identified by the host as exceptionally worthy of the spotlight. The New Vistas Lecture Series is free to nonmembers.
This evening, Steven Pinker, the Johnstone Family Professor in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University and author of several books including The Language Instinct, How the Mind Works, and The Blank Slate, moderates a discussion with two researchers who are exploring how the physiology of the brain gives rise to our experience of mind.
Rebecca Saxe is an assistant professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. She studies the neural and psychological basis of social cognition, the process through which we recognize and reason about other minds. Her goal is to understand how specific brain regions can give rise to the human ability to perceive causality, form beliefs, and build understanding based on prior events.
Bruce Lahn is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a professor in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Chicago. In his mammalian biology lab he is working to identify the genetic changes that occurred over evolutionary history that gave rise to the human brain. He has found that, on average, protein sequences of brain-related genes have evolved more rapidly in primates than in other mammals, and that this accelerated evolution is most dramatic in the lineage leading to humans. He also studies stem cell biology, particularly the question of what gives stem cells their "stemness."
Probing the Genetic Basis of Human Brain Evolution
Bruce Lahn, PhD
Human evolution is characterized by a dramatic increase in brain size and complexity. Traditionally, efforts to study human brain evolution have focused on the anatomical and physiological differences between the human brain and that of the other taxa, as well as the behavioral manifestations of these differences. We sought to study human brain evolution from a genetics point of view. To this end, we examined the evolution of genes involved in diverse aspects of nervous system biology. We found that these genes display significantly higher rates of protein evolution in primates than rodents. Importantly, this trend is most pronounced for the subset of genes implicated in nervous system development. Moreover, within primates, the acceleration of protein evolution is most prominent in the lineage leading from ancestral primates to humans. Thus, the remarkable phenotypic evolution of the human nervous system has a salient molecular correlate, i.e., accelerated evolution of the underlying genes, particularly those linked to nervous system development. In addition to uncovering broad evolutionary trends, our study also identified many candidate genes - most of which are implicated in regulating brain size and behavior - that might have played important roles in the evolution of the human brain. More detailed analysis of these candidate genes found in several of them strong signatures of positive selection in the lineage leading to humans. Remarkably, some showed evidence of ongoing positive selection within anatomically modern humans.


Malcolm will be doing a brief talk with his ASB colleague Heather Woodard (Financial Crime Investigator) on the latest cyber security and financial crime trends the Bank is seeing effecting our more senior and vulnerable members in the community.
Malcolm brings over 20 years' experience in the information security and banking sector. He also volunteers at his local fire brigade. Both of which provide unique insights into the initiation, response and management of events that impact communities, and can affect the more senior and vulnerable members of these communities.
Malcolm is excited about being able to connect with similar minded professionals who help people build their confidence to navigate the digital world.

Ubisoft Forums > Silent Hunter > Silent Hunter 3 - General Discussion > Cartains Safe??
View Full Version : Cartains Safe??
Has anyone else seen the captains safe & locked box in the captains quarters?? They are behind the wooden doors above the desk.
There is clearly a safe and a locked (with key in the lock!) box there.
Was this a feature that was deleted or is it a hidden feature?
Oops!!...obviously I meant CAPTAIN'S safe in the title of my previous post!
Go look for yourself in the Shift+F2 in free-camera mode.
Just get close to the doors above the desk and move forward slowly through them. There's a safe on the left some books in the middle & a locked box on the right.
btw: The cabinet above the captain's desk has a shelf in the middle and the safe,books & lockbox are on the upper shelf.
Now somebody needs to figure out how to get in there!
But why are these (safe & box) hidden in the game??
Maybe someone from Ubi can answer this...I'm just curious.
Hmm. Maybe it was a planned feature to get to the mission order screen and was cancelled then.
Its the same when you move the mouse cursor over the hatches for the aft and bow crew compartments. It turns red like on all other usable things onboard. And also like the hatch to the radio room.
Looks to me that it was planned to add all other rooms of the boats like the engine and crew compartments to the 3D sight.
But then the idea was cancelled maybe because of time pressure to release the game ?
But how do i get into the radio room ???
Just keep going thrue the hatch. It turns black for a while and then u enter the radio room.
And i wish they had all other compartments in the game as well.
Crew quarters, engine room, torp rooms etc and also that all gauges in thos rooms are controlable.
Like in command room, there is many gauges there and i wish they where clickable so i could control the sub by using them as well.
Hehe yeah and dont forget all thos beers he have under his bed.
Btw. you can also go up in the cunning tower whit the free view. some nice things to se there also. Weapons etc.
In the command room , if you take a closer look at the plooting board you actually se your plotted course there.
There is also 2 "hidden" pictures in that room. 1 infront of thos that control the diveplanes and 1 infront of the navigator.


Today, the court announced that they were denying the motion for stay pending appeal in the case regarding straight party voting. A district court determined that the elimination of straight party voting was a violation of the U.S. Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment and placed a burden on minority voters.
This is the latest development in the fight for voters' rights in Michigan. Goodman Acker P.C.'s own Mark Brewer has been at the forefront of this case, working to make sure the proposed ban is not approved. Attorney Brewer has argued that the elimination of straight party voting would cause confusion for many voters and, just months before the next presidential election, certain voters would have less opportunity.
Straight party voting has been a Michigan standard since 1891 and allows voters to select all candidates of their desired party with one mark. The ban of straight party voting would require voters to take more time at the voting booths, filling in individual bubbles for each candidate and prolonging the process. This means longer lines and the potential for impatient voters to walk away from the booth, not voting at all. This opinion is a big victory for voting rights in Michigan!
Congrats to Attorney Mark Brewer on this great accomplishment for our state.

Friday 3 June 2016Media release2 minutes to read
A group of young Cantabrians want more people to help them make the Canterbury Health System better for others their age.
The Canterbury District Health Board's Youth Advisory Council (YAC) are a group of young people who have all had experience with the health system and are on a mission to make it better for everyone.
Brittany Kremers, YAC chair and Maddy Conway, a member, says the council is made up of members aged 14 to 24 years who are keen to gain more of a profile in 2016 and grow its numbers.
Brittany says young people often feel they don't have a voice when it comes to health care and the YAC's goal is to change that.
"We have all spent our fair share of time in hospital for a multitude of health reasons. Our aim is to improve the experiences young people have when they come to hospital," Brittany says.
Maddy says most young people do not want to be in hospital. A prolonged illness or injury requiring an extended hospital stay takes the young person away from their everyday lives.
"It's isolating, unfamiliar and often really scary," Maddy says.
Brittany says this is why YAC wants to be able to help those looking after young people to understand what matters to them.
"Whether for some of us that is a comforting smile and hand on the shoulder, or reassurance visitors are welcome," Brittany says.
The council's goal is to ensure the support and information for hospitalised youth is readily available.
"To help us reach our goals to make it better for other young adults while they are in hospital, we need to grow our numbers so that we will have representatives from right across the health system.
"We are enthusiastic to get our name out there are to work alongside the Canterbury DHB to improve health care for young people by explaining to those delivering the care, what matters to us."
If you would like more information about YAC, have suggestions, or know somebody keen to join, please feel free to email YAC on cdhbyouth@gmail.com

The sixth day message of Anna Hazare from the anshan stage is completely heart touching. He clarified many complications over the issue of janlokpal bill. He made clear of his stand but the government didn't made any clear stand over the janlokpal bill issue. The ministers of the government are trying to hid themselves from the media persons.
The Amran Anshan Andholan was started by Anna Hazare, social activist on 16th August, 2011. Five days have been passed today (21-08-2011) is the sixth day of his Amran Anshan Andholan. A large number of people assembled in the Ramleela Maidan, Delhi. One more lokpal bill from Aruna Roy, social worker was submitted to the parliamentary Standing committee for approval. Now it may become more challenging in-front of the standing committee to reject both the Government drafted lokpal and Aruna Roy lokpal. While speaking to the media person, Arvind Khejriwal, member of team Anna invited the Government and Other NGO's to participate in a debate in-front of the mob. He reiterated all talks should be made in-front of the people not within the four walls of an air-conditioned room. Government is hiding himself in the lokpal bill issue. The ministers also remain silent over the Jan Lokpal Bill issue.
Secondly, we, the master in democracy given the right to look after the granary of government but what happens? the granary was washed out by the guard itself. So, we have no fear of thief but guard and in the same sense we have no fear of our enemy but internal betrayer. Hence, until and unless bringing the Janlokpal bill, it will be very tough to putting curb on corruption in India. The corruption survived in all parts of India and everywhere. It is a right time to stand unitedly to pass the Janlokpal bill to curb the corruption.
Even after repeatedly saying, the members of team Anna we don't want change of government but want change of system and procedure in governing. Our constitution is very old and it was effective in those days but now lot of changes have been occurred. So, it need mass amendment in the field of system functioning. The system made the people to do corruption. The freely existing corruption in India is the major setback for India. From the people sentiments, it has revealed that they have very much dissatisfied over the congress government. Rahul Gandhi, present President of All India National Congress party remain silent and escaping himself from all questions raised by the media persons. This silent of government shows that they never support the feeling and the sentiments of people of India. The gathering is increasing continuously and protesting against the government and supporting for Anna Hazare over the Janlokpal bill issue.
This article explains about the life history of Anna Hazare which comprises his birth and young life. Small content regarding his army life when he was posted in the Indian army. His real life began only after entering into social life. As a pre and foremost step he worked to develop his village Ralegan Sidhi. After that he fought for implementing the act of Right to Information in the state of Maharastra and then it was implemented by the Central government citing National Right to Information.
There are many points in which the government shown the objection over the janlokpal bill issue but in many media poll, people made it very clear that 80% of them voted in favor of janlokpal bill and only 10% of them voted against the janlokpal bill. This survey itself evident that janlokpal bill is heavier than all other bills. So, the government must pass the bill, enact and implement soon to make corruption free India.
This article gives you the brief details about the need for JAN LOKPAL BILL, Scams in India from the past and the things to do to support the initiator of this issue Mr.Hazare. You can also get the estimated amount that was scammed in every corruption that shook the total economy of every Indian people. Definitely by reading this you will get a clear idea about JAN LOKPAL BILL.
Chennai people supported the Amran Anshan Andholan in a peaceful manner. They conduct a candle march at chennai to send the message of full support in favor of Anna Hazare and his anshan. The protest in a peaceful manner and maintaining the non-violence is a lesson for the whole world. Many countries supported his anshan and appreciated for making the protest completely on non-violence.


The Touchstone Foundation for the Arts (TFA) is a nonprofit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization created by the artists of Touchstone Gallery in Washington, DC.
The mission of TFA is to expand the reach of Touchstone Gallery and its artists into our community.
TFA's flagship project is the Touchstone Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists. The fellowship is open to Washington area artists who have not been professionally represented. It is designed to help these artists develop and grow through a two-year full membership in the Touchstone Gallery. The fellowship includes the opportunity to exhibit in monthly gallery member shows, representation on the gallery website and related marketing materials, and mentoring by established artists. The fellowship culminates with a month-long solo show.
Two emerging artist new fellows were selected in 2016 and additional fellow was selected in June 2017.
In 2014, TFA received our first grant from the District of Columbia for a project entitled Touchstone@Artspace. Partnering with New Community ArtSpaceDC, which serves the Shaw community with art programs, workshops, seminars and exhibitions, TFA created a series of workshops for children and parents taught by Touchstone artists on subjects including ceramics, mono-printing and collaging with found objects. Following this model with alternative support and fewer workshops, the 2015 program added calligraphy. Both years featured a month-long exhibition of student work at Touchstone Gallery called "I Belong Here". In 2016, TFA received again its second grant from DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH) to support our 3rd year workshop programming at New Community ArtSpaceDC.
In 2017, TFA plans to continue supporting the development of emerging artists; the melding of artists from Touchstone Gallery with Shaw community organizations; and offering exhibition opportunities in Touchstone Gallery for the non-traditional artists that they serve.

Former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo's ally and controversial businessman Robert Ngwenya on Wednesday demanded that all mines located in the Madibeng municipality employ 1 000 local people each no later than next Tuesday.
Ngwenya' a chairman of the Villages' Townships and Small Dorpies (VTSD) chamber of commerce' also vowed that Mahumapelo would return as the province's premier.
To this end' he said' current premier Job Mokgoro' who has clipped VTSD's wings' must enjoy the office while it lasts because should he (Ngwenya) so wish he would mobilise the community to bring him down.
Ngwenya' circled by more than 5 000 residents from villages of Madibeng' marched to three mines - Hernic' Crocodile River and Lonmin - in Marikana to demand jobs for local people and for business bias to be shown in favour of business people affiliated to the VTSD.
His comments characterised by war talk' Ngwenya warned that should the mine owners not accede to his demands as per the ultimatum' a bloodbath would be inevitable.
According to him' the affected mines have been refusing to hire local people and give 30% of business to local suppliers.
Moreover' VTSD had been undermined since Mahumapelo's fall as premier.
"Don't be fooled to think because Supra is no longer premier that VTSD is non-existent'" he said.
"We are giving you 48 hours to employ our people and we want our 30% beneficiation from business. You have no option but to accede to our demands.
"We will shame the mine owners with their blood if they do not understand that we mean business. We will fight fire with fire' force with force."
Turning his sights on Mokgoro' he said: "No current premier can take our rights away from us. He (Mokgoro) can listen to his friends but ours as VTSD is that we are here to stay.
"We will not take rubbish statements from someone who doesn't even understand what is happening. The current premier must be careful because if he does not listen to us we will bring our premier Supra Mahumapelo back with these masses."
Mokgoro has since coming into office refused to give VTSD the recognition it enjoyed under Mahumapelo.

Usain Bolt feels happy after Mourinho fired by MU
The story of Jose Mourinho's departure from Manchester United's main coaching squad, continues to present interesting stories, the latest coming of which is a hot response from the legendary world number one sprinter, Usain Bolt. In a brief confession, he felt very happy when the Red Devils decided to cooperate with the former Chelsea coach.
Mourinho came to Old Trafford as a successor to Luis Van Gaal in the 2016 season. At that time, the situation of Manchester United was not good by being in the Europa League zone and Mourinho's figure is expected to restore their glory on domestic and European stage.
Mourinho's first season was successful, where he successfully led Manchester United out of the Europa League and returned the team to the Champions League stage with a total of three championship trophies at once.
That season must be accepted with a beautiful season while as in his second season Mourinho was considered a failure because he did not give a trophy. Even so, Mourinho was able to give second place under Manchester City who came out as the Premier League champion.
His third season further aggravated Mourinho's condition which was eventually expelled in December and replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Pressure really happened, since Mourinho trained, Manchester United is known as a team that plays defensively.
On that basis, why many fans claim that Mourinho has violated the tradition of the Red Devils, which emphasizes more on the attacking game that has long been adhered to by Sir Alex Ferguson. The story of Mourinho's departure turned out to be responded positively by many parties.
Including from Bolt himself who claimed to be grateful not to see Mourinho dibangku Manchester United. According to Blot, it is appropriate that Mourinho resign, let alone be sacked because his tactics did not match at all with the club.
"In my opinion, Mourinho can't play our football, that's why it doesn't work. Watching Manchester United from Fergie's days [Sir Alex Ferguson] we are always a team that plays attacking, no matter what is happening," said Bolt.
"Even if we don't meet with opponents it's not good, they always play attacking. For us to be a defensive team will never succeed, "closed Bolt who had once experienced a trial at Old Trafford.
The situation has now changed, and can be said to return to its time. Now Manchester United are again attacking under the care of Solskjaer. Bolt also admitted that he was quite happy to witness the appearance of Paul Pogba and his friends, although eventually it fell back due to inconsistency.
"For me, it's not good for me to say all this will be happy, but I'm happy with the style of football that we play now. It depends on who we are recruiting this summer," said Bolt sarcastically about the preparation of the Red Devils next season.
"I predict we will be better next year with some new players, we should be fine. We must be patient and believe, believe is our motto, so we have to believe it, "concluded Bolt.

Feds nail Indiana grandmother of five, first protester to be sentenced in Capitol riot proceedings
June 24, 2021 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton | Print Article
A 49-year-old Indiana grandmother of five was sentenced by a federal judge to three years probation and a $500 fine after pleading guilty to a single misdemeanor count of "parading in a Capitol building" during the Jan. 6 riot.
Anna Morgan-Lloyd, who is a hair salon owner, is the first of more than 500 defendants to be sentenced for taking part in the Capitol riot. She appeared in a virtual hearing before U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth on Wednesday to formally apologize and accept her sentencing. The Department of Justice asked for and received sentencing that included a $500 fine, 120 hours of community service, and three years of probation, WUSA9 reported.
An affidavit that was filed in federal court in February said that an employee at the Greene County (Indiana) Sheriff's Office stated that Morgan-Lloyd had posted about being at the Capitol on January 6 when she applied for a gun permit. The sheriff's department proceeded to review her Facebook account and found a number of posts with Morgan-Lloyd and her friend Dona Sue Bissey allegedly inside the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6. She reportedly commented on Facebook that it was the "best day ever."
"We stormed the capital [sic] building me and Dona Bissey were in the first 50 people in," Morgan-Lloyd allegedly bragged online. Bissey was taken into custody in Indiana in February and Morgan-Lloyd was arrested in Florida last March. They were each charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

Morgan-Lloyd is not the first to agree to plead guilty in the Jan. 6 case, but she is the first to be sentenced. The DOJ filed a sentencing memo with the court that noted her lack of criminal history. They contended that the two days she served in jail could be "eye-opening and serve as a deterrent to future criminal conduct." The DOJ also seemed satisfied with her "expressed contrition for her conduct."
"In a letter to the Court, the Defendant state that she was 'ashamed that something meant to show support for the President had turned violent,'" the DOJ stated. "'At first it didn't dawn on me, but later I realized that if every person like me, who wasn't violent, was removed from that crowd, the ones who were violent may have lost the nerve to do what they did. For that I am sorry and take responsibility. It was never my intent to help empower people to act violently.'"
"I would have never been there if I had a clue that it was going to turn out that way," she told the judge. "That was so disgraceful to the American people and so disgraceful to this country."
H. Heather Shaner, Morgan-Lloyd's attorney, said that since her arrest, her client has expressed a willingness to learn more about U.S. history and has "revisited" her ideas on government policy towards different racial and ethnic groups. "She recognizes that January 6 may have been a euphoric date for her, but it has been a trauma for many in our country," Shaner remarked.
"Though she supported the past president in January, she totally accepts President Biden as the leader of our country," said Shaner.
The attorney also sought to downplay Morgan-Lloyd's involvement that day as well, claiming she was "among the least culpable of the individuals who went from listening to the ex-President's speech to walking down to the Capitol at his admonition."
#CapitolRiot: Judge Royce Lambert says he has "struggled" with the appropriate sentence for Morgan-Lloyd: "I view, and I think the court views, this as a serious crime. This was not a peaceful demonstration. It's not an accident that it became violent." @wusa9 @EricFlackTV
— Jordan Fischer (@JordanOnRecord) June 23, 2021
The judge claimed that he struggled with the grandmother's sentencing. But in the end, he went with what the DOJ recommended.
"Some of my defendants in my other cases think there's no consequence to this. There is a consequence. And it bothers me," Lamberth remarked. "I don't want to create the perception here that probation is the automatic sentence, because it's not going to be. I'm especially troubled by members of Congress who said that day was just another walk through the Capitol. I don't know what planet they were on, but there were millions of people who watched coverage of January 6 and saw what you saw, which was a disgrace to our country."
He also warned Morgan-Lloyd on receiving probation: "Probation comes once in a lifetime," the judge said. "And this is your once. I say to you, if I get a report of a violation, you come with your bags packed. It's not whether or not you're going, it's how long you're going to jail."
The sentencing was mocked by many on Twitter:
Only probation for an "insurrection" 🤣
