Saint Colmán of Inishbofin: Extract from D'Alton's History
Home > Local history > Ireland > Claremorris & Kilcolman > Saint Colmán
Ruins of a 13th century church in St Colmán's cemetery, Inishbofin, county Galway; with the mountains of Connemara in the background. Image credit.
Saint Colmán, first of Lindisfarne, later of Innisboffin [Inishbofini], founded an Abbey in the village of Mayo, which lies about six miles west of the town of Claremorris. He is the patron saint of the Roman Catholic church in Claremorris, and the ruins of an old chapel and graveyard, north of the town, also bore his name.
The following historical extract was penned by the Right Rev. Monsignor D'Alton (1928): 1
St. Colman of Inisboffin.
Much larger than either of these islands [Arran and Cahir] is Inisboffin, which is associated with the name of St. Colman. The date and place of his birth are uncertain, but he was certainly Irish and and probably a Connaughtman. He was born in the early part of the seventh century, and was educated at Iona. From that monastery his fellow-countryman had gone to convert Northumbria, and to become abbot and bishop of Lindisfarne, and when Aidan's successor, Finan, died in 661, Colman became abbot and bishop. The paschal dispute was then agitated in Northumbria. Labouring side by side were the successors of St. Augustine, with their Roman traditions and Roman practices, and the Scots or Irish who came from Iona, and, refusing to follow the Alexandrian cycle, still clung to the antiquated method of computing Easter followed by St. Columba. To compose these differences and establish uniformity a synod was held at Whitby in 665. King Oswy was on the side of Colman, and on the other side was Wilfrid, afterwards Archbishop of York. The latter's arguments were so convincing that Oswy was converted, and the Synod followed where he led. But Colman would not submit, thinking that if he abandoned the ancient system he would be throwing aspersions on the memory of St. Columba. He therefore resigned the See of Lindisfarne, and taking with him the bones of his predecessor, Aidan, and accompanied by three monks, Irish and Saxon, who shared his views, he went back to Ireland.
The place he selected was the desolate island of Innisboffin. The name of the island is derived from a weird legend, according to which a white cow came forth from an enchanted lake, and grazed from time to time on the scanty pasture around. Hence the name—Inis-bo-fin, the Island of the White Cow. It was a suitable place for an anchoret to dwell—bleak, desolate and lone—the sea-laden breezes sweeping over it, the waves lashing its sides, the soil too poor to afford man sufficient nourishment, which must necessarily be sought in the surrounding sea.
The Saxon and Irish monks soon quarrelled; for, while the former sowed and reaped on the island, the Irish crossed to the mainland and stayed there during the summer and autumn, and then returned to Inisboffin, where, during the winter, they ate what others had sown and saved. St. Colman was so displeased with his own countrymen that he left Innisboffin, took with him the Saxons who had followed him from Lindisfarne, and having acquired a piece of land on the plains of Mayo, two miles from Balla, established a monastery there.
The subsequent ecclesiastical history of Inisboffin is unimportant. There is a holy well sacred to the memory of St. Flannan, who must have visited the island and laboured there—perhaps in the time of St. Fechin; and in the townland of Knock are the remains of St. Colman's ancient church, and that is all.
But Mayo became a great monastic establishment. St. Colman himself died there in 674, and after him came the celebrated man, St. Gerald, the son of a Saxon prince, who, like Colman, was abbot and bishop of Mayo. Adamnan visited him from Iona, and it is said that Alfred the Great sent his son to be educated at Mayo. And of Mayo was specially true what Bede writes: "Many of the nobility," he says, "and of the lower ranks of the English nation were there (in Ireland) who, forsaking their native land, retired thither, either for the sake of divine studies or of a more continent life; and some of them at once devoted themselves to study, going about from one monastic cell to another. The Irish willingly received them all, and took care to supply them with food, and also to furnish them with books to read, and gave them their teaching gratis." If this were true of other monasteries it was surely true of St. Colman's foundation, which owed its origin to one who had laboured long among the Saxons, who was accompanied to Mayo by Saxon monks, and who was succeeded by the Saxon-born St. Gerald. Hence was Mayo so much frequented by monks from across the Channel, and hence it came to be called Mayo of the Saxons.

I'm happy for you. You greatly deserve this plaque. You have done more than anyone in keeping the memories of USTDC alive. Thanks to LTC Ellinger for his kindness.
Don, Look on the USTDC blog May 15, 2012 posting. Posted are the two plaques that I purchased from the VADM Beshany estate.
What a nice and generous thing to do. Well done, Scott, like so many of your efforts these last few years. And no one deserves it more than you, Don.


This ready-to-hang, gallery wrapped art piece features a blue street map of London, England.
Art and design were always Michael's favorite subjects at school. Although Michael likes to experiment with different styles and subjects, his main focus is on map art. Apart from maps, Tompsett creates urban landmark and cityscape designs.
Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high-quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.


Congratulations to 50 Hill Top Students!
On Friday, 50 Hill Top students were recognized in the school's awards ceremony celebrating academic honors, as well as special achievements in English, math, art and entrepreneur courses - to name just a few. These students were surprised as their parents were secretly invited to watch them receive these special awards. Congratulations to all!

Feel good comedy drama following two friends' journey through life changing events. Cancer survivors Ben and Mark's friendship is tested when a piece of news forces them to change their perspectives. Love, friendship and streaking.
At the heart of RUNNING NAKED are two lifelong friends who met each other when they were teenage leukemia patients. Twenty years later MARK DOHERTY has become a successful doctor and ladies' man. Meanwhile BEN TAYLOR has devolved into obsessional recluse whose life is a series of obsessive habits. A piece of news forces Mark to reassess his life and, in the process, convinces him to play a bigger part in Ben's. Mark risks everything he has in order to break Ben out of his shell.
Together the two rediscover their spirit of adventure: they sell everything they own on the high street, they get into a fight with two policemen (and spend a night in jail), they lose all their money – only to win it back at the dog track. They pick up girls. They go sailing and, as the horizon opens in front of their boat, it feels as if the world is once again full of possibilities. But Mark has been keeping a secret and once Ben learns of it, both friends crash back to earth.
They must face the deeper questions in their life: can Mark finally commit to his on-again and off-again girlfriend JADE? Can he face his own mortality? Can Ben free himself from his mad obsessions? Can he build up the nerve to approach SARA, the first decent girl he's met in a long, long time? RUNNING NAKED is a story about friendship and about how, in life, we sometimes need to unbutton our shirt collars, kick off our shoes, and streak through life unabashed.
REVIEW by Hiral Deugi
Firstly, when I found out it was a movie about two young lads going through treatment. Straightaway I thought "oh no" this might be too close to home and thought I might need to keep tissues ready for the emotional scenes. However, with that being said, my reaction was actually quite the opposite. This movie highlighted friendship during tough times and how they had each other to support but also how important it is to be there for one another.
For me personally, I never thought you could put comedy and cancer in the same genre, but the Running Naked team made it happen. Keeping it light-hearted and making me grin rather than cry just shows it was well put together. From the script, the cast, the whole movie storyline was brilliant. I laughed throughout because I could relate to the scenes.
I always avoided cringe cancer type of movies only because it was emotionally distressing but this movie I highly recommend, it's a good watch. The writer's message was to highlight friendship aspects during tough times and how the main characters Ben and Mark are just trying to live their lives to the fullest which as a viewer was so inspiring. They do things out of the ordinary especially for Ben because he has OCD. Highly recommend this movie and I'm sure you'll reach out to your friends after watching if you haven't in a while, especially during the current situation, as this movie just give you a pure warm fuzzy feeling inside. I know I'll be recommending this movie to my friends.
Hiral Deugi was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia aged 21 and has been supported by charity Teenage Cancer Trust since.
Running Naked which enjoys its Online Premier on 4th February at 8pm on Our Screen https://www.ourscreen.com/ with a portion of proceeds going to Teenage Cancer Trust and Weston Park Hospital. The film will also be available via Digital Download from 8th February on Amazon, itunes, Virgin, and SKY.
Trigger warning: although this film is a comedy there are a few scenes that could be challenging emotionally for people affected by cancer, including a relapse storyline.

Hillary Clinton Could Be In Trouble – Federal Court Might Force Her To Testify About Her Emails
By Adam Casalino|June 5, 2020
Did you think Hillary Clinton got off scot-free? Not quite. A D.C. federal appeals court is weighing an ongoing case over her email server.
A watchdog group is fighting to uncover what really happened in 2016. They want to question Clinton herself, something she has fiercely rejected for years.
But the court is getting close to deciding if she can keep ignoring justice for much longer.
From Politico:
The official topic of Tuesday's arguments before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals was Hillary Clinton's bid to avoid giving an in-person deposition…
At least two of the judges assigned to the case seemed to suggest an uphill battle for the former secretary, first lady, senator and two-time Democratic presidential candidate.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals debated how long Clinton can avoid giving an in-person deposition over her email scandal.
Judicial Watch has been fighting to uncover documents relating to her email investigation for years. They have frequently called on the courts to require Clinton herself to come in and testify.
A recent development might allow them to do just that.
Just because it was years ago, doesn't make what Clinton did any less unacceptable.
Her private email server was unlawful. She sent top-secret documents on this unsecured system. Evidence emerged showing how easy it was for hackers to access it.
Clinton jeopardized the national security of the whole nation, for reasons that are still unclear.
Many have guessed she was using this illegal, private server, to hide her "Pay-for-play" scheme with foreign donors to her Clinton Foundation.
If she was really selling access to the State Department, that would be something she didn't want Obama to know about.
We know she deleted 33,000 emails and destroyed cell phones. Would anyone do that, who was innocent?
I mean, I don't want the government to look at my phone, but I don't need to smash it to keep it safe.
Then again, I'm not trying to hide anything…
Judicial Watch has been demanding Clinton own up to what she was doing. If there's nothing to worry about, why can't she show up for one day of testimony?
Yet she's been dodging this for four years. Methinks she has something to worry about…
SHARE if you want to see Hillary take the stand for what she's done.

Jordin Kudluk Tootoo is a hunter: his role in the hockey rink is to agitate and fight. He stalks his prey with a composed vigilance, only to strike with a fiery ferocity. His docility on land contrasts his fury on ice. Aptly, his middle name translates to 'thunder'. I met Jordin in 2017, when he was playing for the Chicago Blackhawks. He told me about his story and the mentality that he required to survive and succeed in the most harsh and cold of circumstances. In light of his recent retirement, as the first Inuk in National Hockey League (NHL) history, this is his remarkable story.
Rankin Inlet, a Nunavut community of several thousand people, is unhealthily large by traditional Inuit standards. But in the vast expanse of white, Rankin Inlet is tiny. It is relieving to finally find Rankin Inlet on the map. It is impressive to know that people live in such desolation. It is small, and it is really, really far away. Unremarkable, almost invisible, and only there if you know where to look. Up north, an Inuk may hunt a caribou, but the cold hunts both. Yet, from tiny Rankin Inlet has come one of the finest agitators plying their trade in professional hockey. His name is Jordin Kudluk Tootoo.
Jordin is the alloy of influences and constraints, and tough circumstances create tough minds. Jordin's wife, Jennifer Tootoo, says her husband is " so mentally tough compared to a lot of people". This becomes evident as Jordin's story unfolds. Does Jordin credit his success to where he grew up? He explained, "Absolutely. It's survival. Having to deal with freezing cold temperatures. Going out on the land to bring food back; if you don't, your family's gonna starve. You find a way to get it done".
Within the harsh environment, Jordin's upbringing was saturated with hardship indoors. Jordin and his brother, Terence, were raised by abusive, alcoholic parents. "I always grew up being scared of my parents", Jordin recalls. "My mother drinks with my father. Back when I was drinking, Terence and I would be right there with them". Jordin and Terence found solace in hockey. It was a break from struggles at home; Jordin recollects that "[they] were always at the rink because [they] never wanted to be home".
But solace was short-lived; the gravity of addiction had taken another victim. Terence killed himself at the age of 22. His final note to his younger brother read, "Jor, go all the way. Take care of the family. You are the man". Despite the death of his brother, Jordin persisted; he went "all the way". In 2003, Jordin became the first Inuk in the NHL, debuting for the Nashville Predators.
The chances of anyone from Rankin Inlet making it to the most prestigious hockey league in the world are miniscule. The North has plenty of ice, but tundra is not known for producing athletes of caliber. Jordin was taught on frozen ponds by his father, and "trained by shovelling snow"; there were no speed coaches, podiatrists, or fitness trainers for him then. Yet he, an Inuk, plays professional hockey.
The chances of anyone from Rankin Inlet making it to the most prestigious hockey league in the world are miniscule.
But the consequences of success hit Jordin hard. To cope with his brother's suicide, Jordin self-medicated heavily with "broads and booze". While still a contributor to the Nashville Predators, Jordin admits: "I was a weekend binge drinker. It wasn't like I'd wake up in the morning and need a drink. It's just that when I drank, I'd f**king drink like I was from the Far North–you know, that's in my blood […] booze was my drug. […] I would force people to drink with me, just like my dad does".
Often the last person to recognize his life going down the drain is the person himself. Perhaps that is why it took Jordin so long to seek treatment. In December 2010, Jordin voluntarily entered an in-patient care program to treat his addiction. Jordin has not had one drink since.
Now, Jordin is with the Chicago Blackhawks. At 35, considered an elder on the ice, he carries his role as an agitator much like how he carries himself in all aspects of life: "One day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time". Although Jordin is very composed on the surface, he can be a nightmare to his opponents on the ice, just as how the simple portrait on his book cover does not convey the misfortune and affliction in his life. He is power in repose.
One must not attribute Jordin's current role as an NHL agitator to his abusive past. He plays the way he learned; like anything else up North, he plays for survival. As I talk to him, I observe that Jordin is reserved for a man with a history like his. He has left his emotional baggage behind. It resides not in his mind, nor in Rankin Inlet, nor in Chicago. It is long gone, since he has, in his own words, "changed the cycle". In Inuit culture, "cycles of life are based on belonging and in collective identity…. [the cycles cement] the mutual obligation of members of the society, and provides for a sustainable and more secure future".
He plays the way he learned; like anything else up North, he plays for survival.
It may sound backwards, but Jordin has accepted his past; he has come to terms with his troubles growing up: "I don't ever regret the way things were. It's made me who I am today".
Cycles appear in Jordin's life, and their beginnings and endings mark important milestones: the arc of his hockey career, the violent loss of Terence, his path to sobriety, and his marriage with Jennifer. But like the turn of seasons, it is time for Jordin's next cycle: being the father to his two daughters and engaging in Indigenous communities.
"Jordin is so excited for this next chapter. He is leaving the game at peace. He knows the time is right. He can't wait to be home with our girls and be a dad like he has always wanted to. He's coming up to eight years of sobriety in December. Nothing is going to stop him now. Now he will be able to focus on doing work with Indigenous communities and focusing on the youth that are at risk for suicide. Hockey was and always will be a big part of his life and he will cherish those memories forever".


"It was in the autumn—it felt like the perfect time to do this ritual, when everything's changing to go to sleep for the winter...." In this interview at the 2018 Louisiana Literature festival in Denmark, CAConrad talks about how performing rituals after their boyfriend's death gave rise to the poetry in their collection While Standing in Line for Death (Wave Books, 2017), which won the 2018 Lambda Literary Award in Gay Poetry.
"It is strikingly like they have removed their eyes." Matthew Rohrer, whose poetry collection The Others (Wave Books, 2017) is featured in Page One in the May/June 2017 issue of Poets & Writers Magazine, reads "Poem" for the Brooklyn Poets Reading Series.
Tyehimba Jess reads his poem "Another Man Done" for the Migration Series Poetry Suite, a collection of poems commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in response to the exhibition "One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series and Other Visions of the Great Movement North."

The objectives of the Research Master's programme in Classics and Ancient Civilizations are:
The broadening and deepening of knowledge, insight, skills and use of methodology in the field of Classics and Ancient Civilizations studies;
• The furtherance of academic and professional training; to solve scholarly problems in an independent way, critically and creatively; and to report research results with clarity both orally and in writing;
• Preparation for an academic career in universities, and/ or post-graduate education and for functions outside of academe in the public or private sector in which advanced research skills and substantial practical research experience are among qualifications required.
As a graduate of a two-year Research Master's degree you are qualified to work as a junior academic researcher in an academic environment or carry out further research work on a PhD programme.
The Research Master's programme in Classics and Ancient Civilizations provides intensive and comprehensive training covering the entire range of present-day research on the civilizations of Greece and Rome and the Ancient Near East. The programme introduces a wide variety of research methods: traditional philology with its intimate knowledge of languages and texts, while still indispensable, is enriched by social history and economic theory, comparative literature, the study of religion in an anthropological perspective and, of course, archaeology and material culture.
The study load runs up to 120 EC and is divided over four semesters. Apart from the obligatory core courses, a student of the Research Master programme follows a number of tracks electives within the programme. Though these track electives are shared with the 1-year Master programme Classics and Ancient Civilizations, students in the Research Master follow these courses at a more advanced level:
Common core courses (20 EC)
• Track electives (60 EC)
• Tutorial in preparation for the thesis (10 EC)
• Thesis presentation and research proposal (5 EC)
• Thesis (25 EC)
Please visit our website (and click on your specialization in the Research Master Programme) to find more details about the structure of the programme.
The Research Master has five specializations, all of which focus on reading ancient texts in their original languages and discussing the interpretations these texts give rise to. Ranging from the sources of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and the Roman Empire to the medieval texts in Neo-Latin, Coptic and Hebrew: Assyriology, Classics, Egyptology, Hebrew Bible Studies, and New Testament and Early Christian Studies.
The specialization New Testament and Early Christian Studies combines in-depth textual and archaeological research on the world of the New Testament, emerging Christianity and the shaping of classical Judaism. Texts and material culture are equally in focus; you study base texts in the original language, but is it also possible to take part in an archaeological excavation in Galilee.
For more information on the other four specializations, see Classics and Ancient Civilizations research.
The thesis for the Research Master's programme Classics and Ancient Civilizations is worth 25 EC, and contains a maximum of 25,000 words including notes, bibliography and appendices. Students who (have) start(ed) writing their thesis, should attend the seminar: Thesis presentation and research proposal.
Hebrew Bible Studies and New Testament and Early Christian Studies: The thesis must be representative of the student's ability to acquire knowledge on any topic covered by the degree programme and to process this knowledge in an academically sound manner, as well as presenting it in writing in accordance with generally accepted academic practices. The aforementioned topic generally implies working with primary sources in the original languages.
To complete the specialization for which you have been accepted, students will have to conclude the two common courses (20 EC). They have to accumulate 60 EC of track electives, of which a number can be replaced by a stay abroad. Further, they should have finished a thesis in their field of specialization (40 EC, including a thesis tutorial and thesis seminar).

Hello and welcome to the Tidewater Bridge Unit's series of duplicate bridge lessons.
In our last Bridge Comer article, we introduced lesson #1; in lesson #2 (there are six lessons total), we will cover more of the vocabulary in the colorful language of bridge. We will also examine opening bids and simple responses to opening bid.
Contract – The final bid. Names suit or No Trump/NT and level to be achieved.
Declarer – Bids the final trump suit or NT first and plays the hand.
Book – First six tricks won by declarer (not counted in the bidding). If we bid 3 clubs, we contract to take nine tricks (6 for book + 3 for the bid). Four hearts contracts for ten of the thirteen tricks (6 tricks for book + 4 for the bid).
Down – You did not take enough tricks to "make" your contract.
Boards – In Duplicate bridge, the cards are kept in a board. Each player gets 13 cards, which they take from the board and arrange into suits. The board indicates both the declarer and the seating direction of the players (North, South, East, and West).
a. An eight-card major suit fit (examples: 4 cards in a major suit in your hand plus 4 cards in the same major suit in your partner's hand, 5 cards in your hand plus 3 cards in same major suit in partner's hand, 6 cards in your hand plus 2 cards in partner's hand in spades or hearts.
b. To play in No Trump (NT) – do not play in NT if opponents have bid a suit that neither you nor your partner has a stopper (A, Kx, QJx, 11 Oxx) in that suit.
a. Bid 1 Spade or Heart with a 5-card (or longer) major suit (Spades or Hearts).
With two 5-card major suits, bid Spades.
b. Bid INT with 15 to 17 HCP and a balanced hand (no singletons or voids).
1 Diamond. If you have 3 Diamonds and 3 Clubs, open 1 Club.
1. Can you open these hands? 2. How many points in each hand? 3. What is your bid?
Your partner opened the bidding, you need 5 or more HCP to respond to partner. Remember the goals: try to find an 8-card major suit fit first, then try to play No Trump, or as a last resort, play in a minor. Use the minor suits as a way to find major suit or No Trump Contracts.
e. With virtually any other hand, bid INT with 6-10 hcp, bid 2NT with 11-12 hcp, or bid 3NT with 13-15 hcp.
Lesson #2 has examined/explained opening bids and responding to opening bids.
Lesson #3 will cover rebids by opener and responder as well as overcalls.

Akron woman says she was willing to kill to save herself as brothers randomly opened fire
Jul 11, 2019 at 8:16 PM Jul 12, 2019 at 11:35 AM
An Akron woman testified Thursday that she went along with the Tyus brothers as they randomly shot people in Akron last July because she feared for her own life.
Cheyenne James said she was even willing to kill if it meant Orlando and Donyea Tyus didn't turn on her.
James said she pointed a gun at the head of a 51-year-old woman and pulled the trigger. The weapon didn't fire, and the woman escaped.
"Why were you willing to pull the trigger?" Assistant Prosecutor Jonathan Baumoel asked while questioning James during the Tyus brothers' joint murder trial.
"Because I didn't want to get killed," responded James, who remained mostly calm and unemotional during several hours of testimony.
James, who received a plea deal in exchange for her testimony, was a key witness in the trial of the Tyus brothers, who are accused of randomly choosing people across Akron to shoot in the early morning hours of July 7, 2018. Prosecutors say two people died, while two others escaped after a gun malfunctioned.
Donyea Tyus, 30, and Orlando Tyus, 28, are both charged with numerous felonies, including two counts each of aggravated murder. Their trial in Summit County Common Pleas Judge Alison McCarty's courtroom is expected to last into next week. The brothers say they are innocent.
James, 21, pleaded guilty in February to one count of felonious assault and is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 5. In exchange for her testimony against the Tyus brothers, prosecutors agreed not to charge her for the two murders or with attempted murder.
James, dressed in a striped jail uniform, testified that she is a drug addict who, at the time of the shootings, was using fentanyl daily and supporting her drug habit by selling her body. She said Donyea and Orlando Tyus came to the drug house where she was staying on July 7 and asked her to go for a ride.
James said she wasn't sure what they were going to do, though she assumed they might get high. She said the brothers talked about "body for body," but she didn't know what this meant.
James said they stopped behind a parked car on Schiller Avenue and saw two Asian men. She said Orlando jumped out and shot one of the men, while Donyea tried to shoot the other man but his gun didn't fire.
James said they next drove to Arlington Street and Fifth Avenue, and parked. She said Donyea approached an African-American man in a driveway, shook his hand and shot him in the head.
After this, James said the brothers told her she had watched them each kill someone and, unless she followed suit, she'd be next. They said they were initiating her for a new group and she'd be the "first lady."
James said they walked a few blocks and saw a 51-year-old woman. She said one of the brothers enticed the woman into an alley with the promise of drugs. She said Donyea handed her a gun and she pointed it at the woman's head and pulled the trigger. It didn't fire.
James said Donyea tried to fire the gun, but it again malfunctioned. She said the woman tried to run and Orlando tripped her. James said she grabbed the woman and the woman kicked her and ran.
James was arrested on drug possession charges Aug. 6 and a week later Akron detectives questioned her about the shootings. She said she told them what happened and testified before a grand jury in September.
Defense attorneys for the Tyus brothers, however, questioned James at length about the deal she received and inconsistencies in statements she made to detectives, to the grand jury and in court.
Joe Gorman, one of the attorneys for Orlando Tyus, asked James why she initially told detectives she pointed the gun past the woman's head so she wouldn't shoot her if the gun fired.
"You lied to the detective, didn't you?" Gorman asked.
"Yes," James admitted.
Jeff James, one of the attorneys for Donyea Tyus, asked James – who had a cellphone with her – why she didn't call for help.
"At no point did you utilize the phone to thwart murder," he said.
"Who's to say they wouldn't have turned the gun on me?" she responded.
Jeff James, who isn't related to Cheyenne, said the men who did these random shootings are "scary people" who might retaliate.
"Knowing that fear of those people who would do something like that would be a strong motivation not to identify those people for fear of what they might do, correct?" he asked James.
"No," she responded.
Baumoel asked James if she had ever pointed to anyone besides the Tyus brothers as being responsible. She said she had not.
The woman who survived the shooting attempt testified that she has been a cocaine addict for 30 years and supports her habit by being a prostitute.
She said she went into the alleyway that morning hoping to score drugs but instead had a young woman pull a gun on her. She said one of two African-American men took the gun and held it to her head.
"Are you ready to die?" she said he asked.
"No!" she said she responded. "Why are you doing this?"
When the gun didn't work, the woman said she fled.
Later, the woman said she was able to identify the woman who attacked her as Cheyenne James but not the two men who were with her.

Interviews with Monster Girls (亜人 (デミ)ちゃんは語りたい, Demi-chan wa Kataritai, lit. "Demi Wants to Talk") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Petos (ペトス, Petosu). The series began serialization in Kodansha's Young Magazine the 3rd magazine in September 2014 and was later transferred to Monthly Young Magazine in 2021 before finishing serialization in 2022, and is being published in English by Kodansha USA. An anime television series adaptation by A-1 Pictures aired between January and March 2017.
Plot[edit]
The story takes place in an age where demi-humans, more casually known as "demis", have slowly started to become accepted into human society. Tetsuo Takahashi is a biology teacher who ends up teaching three such demis, hoping to understand more about them while also managing to catch their attention.
Characters[edit]
Tetsuo Takahashi (高橋 鉄男, Takahashi Tetsuo)
Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe[4] (Japanese); Cris George[5] (English)
A biology teacher who is fascinated by demis and wants to learn more about them. He is occasionally referred to as "Iron Man" by his students, a pun on his bulky physique and his name. As he learns about demis, he starts to understand the problems they face, both as teenagers and demis, and strives to help them in any way he can. Takahashi is often the girls' go-to person due to his knowledge on demis and his kind and helpful nature. He has a guardian-like and caring relationship with the girls and is always looking after them for their well being.
Hikari Takanashi (小鳥遊 ひかり, Takanashi Hikari)
Voiced by: Kaede Hondo[6] (Japanese); Bryn Apprill[5] (English)
A highly energetic vampire. She avoids biting other people's necks, instead drinking blood packs sent by the government and using blood substitutes like tomato juice. Contrary to myths, she loves eating garlic and merely dislikes bright lights and warm temperatures. Hikari has a twin sister, Himari who is human. Despite being the older twin, Hikari acts like the more child-like sister where as Himari is the more mature one. She occasionally has the urge to nibble on someone, usually her sister, to stop her teeth from itching. Despite her lackadaisical nature, she often strives to help others in need. Hikari's mother is a vampire and her father is a human. Hikari has a tendency to hang out in Tetsuo's biology room since it's cool and doesn't receive much sunlight. Her favorite food is liver and onions.
Kyōko Machi (町 京子, Machi Kyōko)
Voiced by: Minami Shinoda[6] (Japanese); Terri Doty[5] (English)
A shy dullahan whose head is separate from her body, which has a blue flame coming from where the neck should be. Since her arms are occupied carrying her head, which doesn't move on its own, she longs for contact with others (holding hands, hugs etc.) Kyōko develops a crush on Tetsuo, due to his kind and caring nature. She initially found it hard to make friends as people found it awkward to talk to her without bringing up her detached head in some way, despite her own acceptance of the concept and desire to joke about it. Incidentally, a medical procedure has proven she does possess a neck, which connects her mouth to her stomach and lungs, but somehow exists in "another space" and serves as a Wormhole between her head and body. After Hikari notes how awkward it must be for Kyōko to carry her head in one hand and school bag in the other to Tetsuo, he talks to the principal and the school allows Kyōko to wear a backpack for her convenience.
Yuki Kusakabe (日下部 雪, Kusakabe Yuki)
Voiced by: Shiina Natsukawa[6] (Japanese); Sarah Wiedenheft[5] (English)
A timid snow woman whose body is always cold. She will sometimes spread cold air while experiencing negative emotions and is susceptible to heat. Yuki initially dislikes her demi nature, fearing that she could harm others or those around her, though Tetsuo manages to show her that the only things she can actually freeze are her tears and sweat. Hikari will often want to hug or hold onto Yuki due her cold body temperature since vampires don't manage well in the heat. Yuki also secretly a manga enthusiast and has a taste for multiple genres. After befriending Tetsuo, Hikari, and Kyōko, she begins to open up about herself and talk more.
Sakie Satō (佐藤 早紀絵, Satō Sakie)
Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa[6] (Japanese); Morgan Garrett[5] (English)
A succubus who works as a math teacher. Succubi are also sometimes referred to as "Dream Demons". Due to the aphrodisiac effect her body produces, she constantly has to take precautions to avoid inadvertently seducing men and other male students, such as wearing a tracksuit to hide her body and taking the first and last train of the day to avoid crowds. If she falls asleep, she can accidentally give people within her vicinity erotic dreams. For this reason Sato lives alone away from civilization since she can't live in an apartment complex or any place where there may be a lot of people around. While Sakie's nature as a succubus leads males to become attracted to her, she herself develops a crush on Tetsuo after coming to believe he is immune to her aphrodisiac effect. After Sakie mentions her interest in Tetsuo to Ugaki, he points out that, contrary to what she had previously assumed, Tetsuo was actually affected by her aphrodisiac but had acted like he was not affected so as not to hurt Sakie's feelings. Regardless, she continues to develop an interest in him.
Himari Takanashi (小鳥遊 ひまり, Takanashi Himari)
Voiced by: Lynn[6] (Japanese); Jamie Marchi[5] (English)
Hikari's younger twin sister, who is an ordinary human. She is much more serious than her sister, both as a person and a student. She often tries to make her sister act more mature, but is unable to. Himari is always looking after Hikari to make sure she doesn't get into trouble or stay out too late. She will often text Tetsuo to keep an eye on Hikari when she can't. She is also the one who has to do Hikari's hair every morning. Despite their constant bickering, they care about each other and have many similarities such as similar tastes in food and fashion.

"Tetsuo Takahashi Wants an Interview"
Transcription: "Takahashi Tetsuo wa Kataritai" (Japanese: 高橋鉄男は語りたい) 7 January 2017 (2017-01-07)
In a world where a small number of people are demi-humans, biology teacher Tetsuo Takahashi is surprised to find his school's new maths teacher is one such demi-human; a succubus named Sakie Satō. As Tetsuo struggles to talk with Sakie due to the measures she takes to keep her powers under control, one of his new students, a vampire named Hikari Takanashi, asks for his help in carrying the headless body of her dullahan classmate Kyōko Machi to the nurse's office. The next day, after meeting Hikari's human twin sister, Himari, Tetsuo spends some time with Hikari to learn some facts about real-world vampires. Afterwards, Hikari befriends Kyōko, who had been having trouble talking about her demi traits with her classmates, and encourages her to write a letter of thanks to Tetsuo, offering to speak with him anytime.
"Dullahan-chan Wants to be Coddled"
Transcription: "Dyurahan-chan wa Amaetai" (Japanese: デュラハンちゃんは甘えたい) 14 January 2017 (2017-01-14)
Tetsuo spends some time talking with Kyōko, learning about how she deals with her dullahan body and struggles with making friends. Receiving some advice on how to break the ice with her classmates, Kyōko asks Tetsuo to hug her head. Later, Hikari sets Kyōko up on a practice date with Tetsuo, who carries her head around while Hikari keeps her body at her house. During the date, Kyōko tells Tetsuo her concerns about her snow woman classmate, Yuki Kusakabe. Using what he had learned, Tetsuo arranges with the principal to allow Kyōko to use a backpack instead of a regulation bag so she can carry her head around more easily, a deed that is only noticed by Sakie.
"Succubus-san is a Real Adult"
Transcription: "Sakyubasu-san wa Ii Otona" (Japanese: サキュバスさんはいい大人) 21 January 2017 (2017-01-21)
While struggling to keep men from being affected by the natural aphrodisiac she produces, Sakie finds herself becoming attracted to Tetsuo when she assumes he wasn't affected. While Tetsuo questions Hikari on the connection between bloodsucking and romance, Kyōko tells Sakie about her crush on Tetsuo and asks for some romance advice, despite Sakie's lack of actual experience. Later, Yuki becomes panicked after she overhears some girls badmouthing her behind her back, claiming that she is being full of herself, and seeks out Tetsuo's help.
"Tetsuo Takahashi Wants to Protect"
Transcription: "Takahashi Tetsuo wa Mamoritai" (Japanese: 高橋鉄男は守りたい) 28 January 2017 (2017-01-28)
As Yuki fears she is being gossiped about because she is a demi-human, Tetsuo seeks some advice from Sakie, who believes Yuki's personal issues are connected with her demi nature. Having overheard their conversation, Hikari decides to confront the girls about their gossiping herself, working up all her courage to tell them how wrong it is to badmouth others. Impressed by Hikari's determination, born from a promise made with Himari, the girls apologise to Yuki after she explains why she acts cautiously around others. The next day, as Tetsuo brings together the demis and asks them to support each other, Hikari turns the meeting into an impromptu hugging session. Afterwards, Tetsuo ends up walking home with Himari, who has yet to trust him. Her impression of him changes, however, after Tetsuo explains the importance of understanding demis by recognising both their human personalities and their troubles with being demi-humans.
"Snow Woman-chan is Cold"
Transcription: "Yuki-Onna-chan wa Tsumetai" (Japanese: 雪女ちゃんは冷たい) 4 February 2017 (2017-02-04)
Yuki explains to Tetsuo how ice particles formed in her bath one night before starting high school, leading her to fear that her powers as a snow woman could hurt someone. Reading up on various folklore, Tetsuo comes up with an idea and has Yuki take a hot foot bath while reading some of the more grim legends surrounding snow women. This leads to the formation of ice particles, which Tetsuo identifies as cold sweat from her feet which had frozen because of emotional stress, deducing that Yuki's powers are tied to her negative feelings. This revelation comes as a huge relief to Yuki, who realises her powers aren't actually capable of hurting others and starts to become more open with herself. Afterwards, Yuki goes to spend time with Hikari and Kyōko and becomes closer friends with them.
"The Takanashi Sisters Are Undeniable"
Transcription: "Takanashi Shimai wa Arasoenai" (Japanese: 小鳥遊姉妹は争えない) 11 February 2017 (2017-02-11)
Tetsuo is invited to the Takanashi household, spending some time talking with Hikari and Himari's father while also witnessing some of the feuding that goes on between the two sisters. The next day, as Himari scolds Hikari for not being able to sort out her own hair, Tetsuo brings up the possibility that. as a vampire, she can't see her own reflection in the mirror. This leads Himari to feel guilty about what she has done up until she realises that the superstition is actually false. Later, Kyōko finds herself in the biology prep room with an allegedly sleeping Tetsuo, unaware that he is actually awake.
"Succubus-san is Inquisitive"
Transcription: "Sakyubasu-san wa Ibukashige" (Japanese: サキュバスさんはいぶかしげ) 18 February 2017 (2017-02-18)
Sakie comes across a boy named Kurtz, who is revealed to be a police detective working under Ugaki, an old acquaintance of hers. After Sakie mentions her interest in Tetsuo, Ugaki points out that, contradictory to what she had previously assumed, Tetsuo was actually affected by her aphrodisiac but had acted like he was not affected so as not to hurt Sakie's feelings. Later, Kurtz scolds some male students for taking peeping photos of Sakie while Tetsuo talks with Ugaki about his work in a demi-human division, particularly incidents involving succubi.
"Demi-chans Want to Learn"
Transcription: "Demi-chan wa Manabitai" (Japanese: 亜人ちゃんは学びたい) 25 February 2017 (2017-02-25)
Yuki tries to hide her guilty enjoyment of classic gag manga after Sakie stumbles across one of her dropped books. Surprised to find Kyōko is smarter than she thought she was, Hikari asks her to help her with her studies so she can get praised by Tetsuo. Later, Hikari holds a contest among the others to decide whose arm she'd prefer to bite.
"Demi-chans Want to Try"
Transcription: "Demi-chan wa Tameshitai" (Japanese: 亜人ちゃんは試したい) 4 March 2017 (2017-03-04)
Encouraged by Ugaki to make a move, Sakie comes to Tetsuo with the intention of using her aphrodisiac effect on him, but finds herself charmed by his theory on how genuine affection for a succubus can be. Later, Yuki asks Tetsuo to help her learn how to control her snow woman abilities in order to beat the summer heat. Following a particularly hot P.E. lesson, Kyōko tries telling the others a ghost story to cool them down.
"The Dullahan Surpasses Space-Time"
Transcription: "Dyurahan wa Jikū o Koete" (Japanese: デュラハンは時空を超えて) 11 March 2017 (2017-03-11)
After hearing Hikari brag about kissing Tetsuo on the cheek, Kyōko attempts to get a kiss for herself, only to get scolded by Tetsuo when she almost drops her head in the process. Wanting to apologise by providing him with more demi-human research, Kyōko joins Tetsuo at his old university to meet his friend, Souma, who believes that her neck is a wormhole between her head and body that exists in another dimension. Hearing Souma's theories on a dullahan's space-time potential, Kyōko starts to take an interest in researching more about dullahans.
"Demi-chans Want to Support"
Transcription: "Demi-chan wa Sasaetai" (Japanese: 亜人ちゃんは支えたい) 18 March 2017 (2017-03-18)
As Tetsuo looks into a way to help Hikari and Yuki deal with the summer heat, he is warned by the vice-principal not to focus so much on the demis, who currently rely exclusively on him. Having heard about this conflict, some of the regular students, including the girls who used to bully Yuki, discuss among themselves how they should get along with their demi schoolmates. Upon learning of the situation after noticing Tetsuo distance himself from them, the girls send him a video message thanking him for everything he has done for them while Hikari thanks him in person. The next day, the vice-principal reverses his decision, acknowledging how Tetsuo's efforts have inspired both his demi-human and human students.
"Demi-chans Want to Swim"
Transcription: "Demi-chan wa Oyogitai" (Japanese: 亜人ちゃんは泳ぎたい) 25 March 2017 (2017-03-25)
Despite having some concerns over how Hikari will fare in the sunlight, Tetsuo allows her and the others to reserve the outdoor pool, inviting Sakie to join them. As the girls enjoy themselves, Sakie attempts to ask Tetsuo out while Kyōko has a discussion about the legends concerning dullahans, leading to her first experience putting her head underwater. Afterwards, Hikari explains that she wanted to prioritise everyone having fun instead of going out of their way for her.
"The Demi-chans' Summer Break"
Transcription: "Demi-chan no Natsuyasumi" (Japanese: 亜人ちゃんの夏休み) 29 June 2017 (2017-06-29)
During summer break, Tetsuo asks Sakie to join him on patrol duty for the local summer festival, which both the demis and Himari and her friends go to. As each group decides to check out a nearby shrine, they get spooked by some strange occurrences, which turn out to be each other. As the next term begins, Tetsuo converses with an invisible woman named Matsuri.

Anime News Network editor Theron Martin published a positive review of the complete anime series in 2018.[47] He gave praise to the loveable main cast (singling out both Tetsuo and Hikari as highlights), the story's attention to detail in its worldbuilding of the demis and adding a bit of philosophy when interacting with them, concluding that "Overall, Interviews with Monster Girls delivers an entertaining and occasionally thoughtful package that avoids the seedier pitfalls common to the monster girl genre."[47]
Interviews with Monster Girls was nominated for Best Slice of Life in the 2017 Crunchyroll Anime Awards but lost to Girls' Last Tour.[48]

HSBC: DIRTY MONEY AND WHITE COLLARS
On 9 October, Insight Crime carried an article about an investigation into HSBC Mexico becoming the bank of choice for drug traffickers for years, saying that HSBC Mexico was one of the banks recommended by drug traffickers and money launderers between 2006 and 2010, due to its lax controls and its ability to turn a blind eye in exchange for constant business. This resulted in the heaviest fines ever imposed on a financial institution in either the US or Mexico: $1.9 billion and about $27.5 million respectively. The report is based on the comprehensive files prepared between 2007 and 2012 by the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) which, across more than 20 volumes and some 10,000 pages, established how HSBC Mexico's top management committed serious mistakes.

LAOS: CHINESE CASINO KINGPIN BEHIND NEW MEKONG PORT
On 7 October, Radio Free Asia reported that a developer owned by a controversial Chinese casino mogul, Golden Kings Romans Group Chairman Zhao Wei, whom the US has designated a transnational crime boss is building the new Ban Mom Port on the Mekong River in Laos near the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone, the latest Chinese-backed infrastructure project in the country. The zone where Laos, Thailand and Myanmar meet is described by critics as virtually a Chinese colony, with the casino, hotels and restaurants catering mainly to tourists from China and operating largely outside the reach of Lao law.

ESG ETFs Are at a Tipping Point
Max ChenApr 22, 2020
Socially responsible exchange traded funds that track environmental, social, and governance principles are gaining traction among the investment community as a viable core portfolio alternative.
"We are definitely finally seeing that ESG tipping point. Institutions are coming in, and finally, we've got products… that really tackle this problem of 'do you have to give up something to have ESG?' and the answer is you don't," Luke Oliver, Head of Index Investing, Americas, DWS, said at the Inside ETFs conference.
DWS offers a suite of ESG-related ETF strategies. For example, the Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF (USSG) has been a popular play for investors seeking exposure to socially responsible investments. USSG was developed in collaboration with Ilmarinen, Finland's largest pension insurance company. The underlying MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index provides exposure to large- and medium-cap U.S. companies with high environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance relative to their sector peers.
Other options include the Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF (EASG), Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF (EMSG) and Xtrackers MSCI ACWI ex USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF (ACSG). The ETFs try to provide exposure to companies with high ESG-related performance relative to their sector peers. The underlying index is based on MSCI ESG Ratings, MSCI ESG Controversies, and MSCI Business Involvement Screen Research to determine index components.
Additionally, the Xtrackers S&P 500 ESG ETF (SNPE) is among the first ETFs to track the S&P 500 ESG Index, the environmental, social, and governance derivative of the widely followed S&P 500 Index. SNPE's underlying index seeks to target 75% of the float market capitalization of each Global Industry Classification Standard Industry Group within the S&P 500 Index, using an ESG score as the defining characteristic.

When dealing with children with functional problems, surgery such as septoplasty can be done as early as necessary in order to restore nasal function and to prevent the consequences that may arise due to misplaced anatomic structures. In these patients, extra care must be taken to preserve as many structural supports and as much septal continuity as possible in order to insure normal nasal growth.
When considering cosmetic surgery of the nose, we generally believe surgery should be delayed until the nose is fully grown. This commonly means rhinoplasty can be done on girls when they have had their period for at least 2 years and in boys when they are at least 14 years old. Another good indicator of nasal growth is the patients' height compared to their parents. If the patient is as tall as their tallest parent, then they are probably finished growing and so has their nose. Exceptions for younger children are made for those patients who have a significant anatomic deformity and a very strong desire for surgery to correct it.
The problem with operating on patients earlier than these target ages is that the nose may continue to grow in an unpredictable fashion. So, despite creating a balanced nose after the rhinoplasty, the continued nasal growth can distort the proportions that were created.
Finally and perhaps more important than the physical maturity, we also believe that all our adolescent patients must have the emotional maturity to deal with their surgery. It is very important that the patient himself/ herself is interested in having the surgery and that it is not only being done because the parent wants surgery.
With all of this said, we believe that the psychological benefit that rhinoplasty can afford during puberty, a very critical time in emotional development, is significant and should be considered for the right patients.
