Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for Clark County through 9am this morning for snow accumulations down to 3000 feet. This will lead to extra treacherous travel this morning, especially across western portions of the Las Vegas Valley where snow has been observed as low as 2500 feet this morning. An off duty NWS employee has measured 1.5 inches of snow at this hour, with snow continuing to fall in Summerlin. Drivers in other areas of the valley should also allow for more time on the commute this morning, as all roads are wet due to persistent rainfall overnight.

Little Suns by Zakes Mda
January 19, 2016 Tracey	Leave a comment
'There are many suns,' he said. 'Each day has its own. Some are small, some are big. I'm named after the small ones.'
It is 1903. A lame and frail Malangana – 'Little Suns' – searches for his beloved Mthwakazi after many lonely years spent in Lesotho. Mthwakazi was the young woman he had fallen in love with twenty years earlier, before the assassination of Hamilton Hope ripped the two of them apart.
Intertwined with Malangana's story, is the account of Hope – a colonial magistrate who, in the late nineteenth century, was undermining the local kingdoms of the eastern Cape in order to bring them under the control of the British. It was he who wanted to coerce Malangana's king and his people, the amaMpondomise, into joining his battle – a scheme Malangana's conscience could not allow.
Zakes Mda's fine new novel Little Suns weaves the true events surrounding the death of Magistrate Hope into a touching story of love and perseverance that can transcend exile and strife.
Zakes Mda is the author of the novels Ways of Dying and The Heart of Redness, among many others. He was born in the Eastern Cape, but spent his early childhood in Soweto, finishing his school education in Lesotho. He is a prolific writer of novels, plays, poems and articles for academic journals and newspapers, and his writing has been translated into twenty languages. His creative work also includes painting, and theatre and film productions. Mda, whose forebears were exiled from Qumbu to Lesotho after the assassination of Hamilton Hope, is a recipient of South Africa's Order of Ikhamanga. He is based in Athens, Ohio, where he spends his time writing and teaching.

The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory
October 7, 2015 Tracey	Leave a comment
By the #1 New York Times bestselling author behind the Starz original series The White Queen, a riveting new Tudor tale featuring King Henry VIII's sixth wife Kateryn Parr, the first English queen to publish under her own name.
Why would a woman marry a serial killer?
Because she cannot refuse…
Kateryn Parr, a thirty-year-old widow in a secret affair with a new lover, has no choice when a man old enough to be her father who has buried four wives – King Henry VIII – commands her to marry him.
Kateryn has no doubt about the danger she faces: the previous queen lasted sixteen months, the one before barely half a year. But Henry adores his new bride and Kateryn's trust in him grows as she unites the royal family, creates a radical study circle at the heart of the court, and rules the kingdom as Regent.
But is this enough to keep her safe? A leader of religious reform and the first woman to publish in English, Kateryn stands out as an independent woman with a mind of her own. But she cannot save the Protestants, under threat for their faith, and Henry's dangerous gaze turns on her. The traditional churchmen and rivals for power accuse her of heresy – the punishment is death by fire and the king's name is on the warrant…
From an author who has described all of Henry's queens comes a deeply intimate portrayal of the last: a woman who longed for passion, power, and education at the court of a medieval killer.
Philippa Gregory is the author of several bestselling novels, including The Other Boleyn Girl, and is a recognized authority on women's history. Her Cousins' War novels are the basis for the critically acclaimed Starz miniseries The White Queen. She graduated from the University of Sussex and received a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, where she is a Regent. She holds an honorary degree from Teesside University, and is a fellow of the Universities of Sussex and Cardiff.

The Black Sash by Mary Burton
August 4, 2015 Tracey	Leave a comment
This is the story of a remarkable organisation of white South African women who carved out a unique role for themselves in opposing the injustices of apartheid and working towards a free and democratic country. It is written by Mary Burton, herself national president of the Black Sash for many years and, later, one of the Truth and Reconciliation commissioners.
Her book answers many of the questions that members often ask: What brought the Black Sash into being? What kept it alive for so many decades? How did an organisation of mainly white, middle-class, privileged women create and sustain a viable body that eventually made its contribution to the collapse of apartheid? What was it like to be involved in it? And what can we learn from its history that will teach us to be activists again?
This is a story of hard work and dedication, of small victories won little by little against the odds, of personal courage in the face of injustice and repression, of vision, compassion and caring. It is a uniquely South African story.
As Mary Burton says, "Joining the Black Sash influenced the course of my life. Its leaders were an inspiring example and its members became friends and colleagues. It prompted me to join other organisations committed to the same ideals, and to study more about South Africa and its history. It was owing to the Black Sash that many of us were offered opportunities to serve the new society created after 1990, working for the elections, contributing to the new Constitution, taking part in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or participating in the new government structures."

The Unknown Van Gogh by Chris Schoeman
July 21, 2015 Tracey	Leave a comment
Much has been written about Vincent van Gogh and his tempestuous relationship with his brother Theo. But few people know that there was a third Van Gogh brother, Cornelis, who was raised in the Netherlands, but worked, married and died in South Africa. Cornelis came to South Africa in 1889, aged twenty-two, and worked as an engineer, first for the Cornucopia Gold Company in Germiston and then for the Nederlandsche Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg Maatskappy in Pretoria. He sided with the Boers in the Anglo-Boer War, first as a railway engineer and later as a commando in the Free State. Suffering from fever, he ended up in a hospital in Brandfort in 1900, where he committed suicide by shooting himself, as had his brother Vincent ten years before.
Chris Schoeman's biography of Cor van Gogh recreates South Africa in the last decade of the nineteenth century, tells the personal story of this young uitlander, as revealed in his letters, and describes his relationship with his famous brother Vincent. With new insights based onoriginal research, this book is an important addition to South African and world history.
Author Chris Schoeman on his book The Unknown Van Gogh
Chris Schoeman was born in Somerset East and has master's degrees in history from the universities of Port Elizabeth and Colorado State. He has worked as a historian and journalist, and has authored and co-authored several books. These include District Six: The Spirit of Kanala, Boer Boy: Memoirs of an Anglo-Boer War Youth, Brothers in Arms: Hollanders in the Anglo-Boer War, Angels of Mercy: Foreign Women in the Anglo-Boer War, Churchill's South Africa and The Historical Karoo.

My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me by Jennifer Teege
June 21, 2015 Tracey	Leave a comment
My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me by Jennifer Teege is the extraordinary and moving memoir of a woman who learns that her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the brutal Nazi commandant depicted in the film Schindler's List. Here are five reasons why you need to read her mesmerising story.
1. An incredible discovery. Jennifer Teege's story is one of incredible and devastating discovery. Adopted aged 7 she grew up knowing little about her birth mother and grandmother, although she still spent time with them occasionally. It was only when she happened by chance to pull a book from the shelf in Hamburg Library that she discovered the truth. The book was about her mother and grandparents. Slowly, Jennifer realised that she was the granddaughter of notorious Nazi and concentration camp commandant Amon Goeth, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. Jennifer realised that she, a mixed-race German woman, was the granddaughter of this monstrous and brutal man.
2. An untold story. To Jennifer, and many others who have watched Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List, Amon Goeth's character was evil personified. But as Jennifer read more of the book about her birth family, she begins to grasp that the Amon Goeth in the film is not a fictional character, but a person who really existed. A man who killed innocent people, and worse, a man who enjoyed it. Jennifer learns that her grandfather would shoot Jewish prisoners at random from the balcony of his house next to the camp. And he trained his two dogs to attack and kill people on his command. And equally shocking is the fact that the grandmother Jennifer remembers as a warm and loving figure from her childhood, lived in the house with this man and bore witness to it all.
3. A personal journey. Jennifer's discovery throws her into a deep depression – the greatest struggle of her life so far. It causes her to question who she is and what she knows about her family and her past. She questions everything that has been central to her life: her close relationship with her adoptive family, her friends in Israel, her marriage, her two sons. Has her whole life been a lie? What is her identity now? She feels she has travelled under a false name, and betrayed everyone she knows, when in fact it is she who has been betrayed. How can she process this terrible truth and continue to live her life as normal?
4. Finding redemption. Jennifer is determined not to let her grandfather and his terrible deeds define her. But before she can face her family and friends, particularly her Jewish friends and the people she met whilst studying in Israel, she must go on a difficult personal journey. Her memoir charts this journey, from Jennifer's visit to PÅ'aszów concentration camp where Amon Goeth brutally murdered so many Jewish prisoners, to the house next to the camp, where Jennifer's beloved grandmother lived alongside the Nazi commandant. Jennifer reconnects with her mother, the woman who gave her up for adoption and hid their shared and painful past. Only then is she able to move on and travel to Israel to see her friends again.
5. A different perspective. As the Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg said, 'in Germany, the Holocaust is family history'. Anybody related to a notorious Nazi, as Jennifer Teege discovered that she was, is compelled to deal with their family's past. But the same is often true of those related to ordinary Germans, who stood by during the years in which terrible atrocities were committed against the Jews. Guilt cannot be inherited, but feelings of guilt can. And this can often be particularly difficult for grandchildren of the wartime generation. They did not grow up in the culture of silence immediately following the war, as their parents did. Today's 30-50 year olds are not afraid to speak about the Nazis and the terrible things that happened on their grandparents' watch – or in fact the acts their grandparents committed themselves, as in Jennifer Teege's case. They must deal with these issues head on.
Jennifer Teege has worked in advertising since 1999 and lives in Germany with her husband and two sons. In her twenties, she studied for four years in Israel, where she learned fluent Hebrew. A mixed-race woman raised by adoptive German parents, she was appalled to discover her biological family's Nazi history. Her compelling true story is stranger than fiction.

Eugene de Kock: Assassin for the State by Anemari Jansen
'One day I summoned all my courage: 'Eugene, how does it feel to kill another human being?'
His facial muscles involuntarily pulled in horror. 'The person, the victim, gives off a smell,' he says. 'Even today I can still recall that smell. It makes me nauseous to the core of my being; that particular smell of fear that bursts through a person's pores and his body fluid.'"
The blood of several anti-apartheid activists is on Eugene de Kock's hands and for most South Africans he represents prime evil.
Is there any humaneness to be found in the man who many call a monster; and how did he come to be an 'assassin for the state'? Anemari Jansen went in search of answers by looking at De Kock's strict upbringing, his first exposure to gruesome scenes as a young police officer on the East Rand and in the Border War where he became a hunter of people.
Jansen had exclusive access to De Kock's family as well as former Koevoet and Vlakplaas colleagues. She paints a picture of a highly intelligent but complex individual who was an outsider since childhood.
Jansen also quotes extensively from De Kock's diaries and an unpublished manuscript. In his own words, De Kock is scathingly honest and he doesn't shy away from describing atrocities in detail or identifying the superiors from whom he received his orders.
The book sketches an era and the environment in which Vlakplaas took place, but also offers a unique insight into De Kock's soul and his humanity.
Anemari Jansen is a published writer of fiction who published her first nonfiction title on the life of Eugene de Kock in 2014. Her debut nove, Glipstroom, was also published in 2014 by Tafelberg,
She first met De Kock in 2011 while he was incarcerated and went on a journey to get to know De Kock as a person and to better understand the events during the apartheid years. Her research took her to all the corners of South Africa and brought her into contact with many former members of Koevoet and Vlakplaas.

History, South African Literature
The Battle of Savate by Piet Nortje
On 21 May 1980, under the codename Operation Tiro-Tiro, 32 Battalion attacked and routed a FAPLA brigade at Savate, a small town 75 kilometres inside Angola. Fifteen members of 32 Battalion were killed in the action and many more wounded. It was the highest South African casualty rate in a single skirmish since the start of the Border War. Overall, however, Savate was a significant victory for 32 Battalion. FAPLA suffered heavy casualties and the invaders captured a great many vehicles, weapons, ammunition and other equipment.
Despite the number of casualties, Operation Tiro-Tiro, or the Battle of Savate as it became known, was 32 Battalion's biggest victory since its formation in March 1976. To this day a remembrance service and parade is held annually to commemorate the battle and to remember 32 Battalion's victory and the price they paid.
Drawing from official documents in the Department of Defence Documentation Centre that have only recently been declassified and from testimonies of soldiers on both sides, The Battle of Savate is the definitive account of one of the greatest battles of the Border War, describing in detail the operation, its motivation and planning, its achievements and failures, and vividly recreating the experience of what happened on the ground.
Piet Nortje joined the SADF Permanent Force in 1978 and rose rapidly through the ranks in 32 Battalion. In 1985 he was appointed as the unit's Regimental Sergeant Major, the youngest RSM ever in the SADF. Although his involvement with 32 Battalion came to an end in 1988, he continued to serve in the SANDF until his resignation in 2005. He is now a major in the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces. His previous books are 32 Battalion and The Terrible Ones.
The Mirror in the Ground by Nick Shepherd
What happens when we approach archaeology from the perspective of an interest in visualities? Does it make sense to talk about an archaeological aesthetic? What part has a specifically archaeological concern with material cultures, objectified bodies and sites on the landscape played in a local history of looking? Drawing from the archive of the South African archaeologist John Goodwin (1900–1959), this book interrogates the role of photography in the making of a disciplinary project in archaeology.
Foreword by Pippa Skotnes.
Nick Shepherd is Associate Professor of Archaeology and African Studies at the University of Cape Town, where he convenes a graduate programme on Public Culture and Heritage. He has been a Mandela Fellow at Harvard University, and a Visiting Professor at Brown University and at the University of Basel. From 2004-2012 he was the editor of the journal Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeology Congress.

Mission to South Africa by Robin Renwick
April 20, 2015 Tracey	Leave a comment
An insider's blow-by-blow account of the release of Nelson Mandela and dismantling of apartheid by the ambassador who was in the midst of these events. Appointed to South Africa as Margaret Thatcher's envoy, Lord Renwick became a personal friend of Nelson Mandela, FW de Klerk and Mangosuthu Buthelezi, acting as a trusted intermediary between them. He describes meetings with PW Botha, warning him against military attacks on the neighbouring countries and arguing for lives of the Sharpeville Six, as 'like visiting Hitler in his bunker'. He persuaded Margaret Thatcher to descend on Windhoek in support of the Namibia agreement. His close relationship with FW de Klerk helped him to get international support for his reforms. On the eve of his epoch-making speech to Parliament of 2 February 1990, De Klerk told him: 'You can tell your Prime Minister she will not be disappointed'.
He paints a vivid portrait of Mandela ('far wilier, and a bit less saintly than others have portrayed him'), describing his meetings with him immediately after his release, inviting him to his first meal in a restaurant in Johannesburg for 27 years, rehearsing him for his meeting with Margaret Thatcher – and telling Thatcher that she must not interrupt him! The iron lady warmed to her visitor, but told him to 'stop all this nonsense about nationalisation'. The Mandela charm worked no less effectively on the Queen, who he took to calling 'Elizabeth' and persuaded to dance with him in the royal box in the Albert Hall.
Lord Renwick of Clifton was British ambassador to South Africa during the period leading up to the release of Nelson Mandela. On leaving South Africa, on the proposal of Helen Suzman, he was awarded an honorary degree by the University of the Witwatersrand for services to the struggle against apartheid. Previously, he was adviser to Lord Carrington during the Lancaster House negotiations, which ended the Rhodesia conflict, and to Lord Soames as the last governor of Rhodesia. He served subsequently as British ambassador to the United States.
General, History
Mozart by Paul Johnson
Mozart's music has enthralled listeners for centuries. In this brilliant biography, acclaimed historian Paul Johnson draws upon his expert knowledge of the era and Mozart's own private letters to conjure Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life and times in rich detail.
Johnson charts Mozart's life from age three through to his later years—when he penned The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. Along the way, Johnson challenges some of the popular myths that cloud Mozart's image: his allegedly tempestuous personal relationships and supposedly bitter rivalry with Salieri, as well as the notion that he was desperately impoverished when he died.
The result—a bold, invigorating portrait of one of the most popular and influential composers of all time—is a welcome addition to Johnson's extraordinary body of work and makes a perfect gift for classical music lovers and fans of biographies.
Beginning with Modern Times (1985), Paul Johnson's books are acknowledged masterpieces of historical analysis. He is a regular columnist for Forbes and The Spectator, and his work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.

Reps. Carbajal, Bacon Take Bipartisan Tour
Republican Don Bacon Visits 24th Congressional District
By Keith Hamm

Representatives Salud Carbajal (left) and Don Bacon at Santa Barbara County Fire headquarters last week

Representative Salud Carbajal and his Republican counterpart Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska toured California's 24th Congressional District last week as part of an American Congressional Exchange trip hosted by the Bipartisan Policy Center. Among other stops, Bacon's trip included visits to Cal Poly, UCSB, agricultural operations, Vandenberg Air Force Base, and areas ravaged by the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow. At County Fire Department headquarters, Chief Eric Peterson briefed Bacon on the back-to-back natural disasters. "I heard pieces through the news," Bacon said, "but I had no idea of the scope."
As part of the center's mission — in part to combine "the best ideas from both parties [to drive] principled and politically viable policy solutions," according to its website — Carbajal and Bacon have traveled together to Guantanamo Bay and the Middle East. They've become friends along the way, which has helped them find common ground on certain issues and cosponsor each other's legislation, such as Bacon's bill last year to support Gold Star families. "We're Republicans and Democrats committed to working in a bipartisan way," Carbajal said. "You have to get out of your element."
"Life is all about relationships," Carbajal said earlier this year. "The more you get to know one another, the more you like each other and the more you're willing to work with each other and find that common ground." Added Bacon, "When you build a friendship, even when you disagree, it's done in a much more civil way."
In May as part of the exchange, Carbajal toured Bacon's district, including visits to a Cinco de Mayo festival, an urban agriculture facility, the Union Pacific dispatch center, Offutt Air Force Base, and the University of Nebraska.

Office 365 comes with different storage and sharing options to make business owners more productive. Two of these are OneDrive and SharePoint, both of which have a long list of features and benefits. Which option is best for you? Keep reading for the answer.
Looking for a secure platform to manage your files? Where do you go for help? Should you choose SharePoint or settle for OneDrive instead? If any of those terms sound Greek to you, don't worry. You don't need a degree in computer science to figure it out. This article will give you the lowdown on what to expect from these services.
Both SharePoint and OneDrive are cloud-based services from Microsoft that allow you to store, share, and sync files across different devices. SharePoint was released in 2001 and reportedly has over 190 million users. OneDrive, on the other hand, was launched in 2007 and has more than 250 million users.
SharePoint is marketed mainly as a document management and storage system, but it can be configured to do much more than that. OneDrive, which was previously known as SkyDrive and Windows Live Folders, is part of the Office suite of online services.
For starters, both platforms make use of Office 365 to help companies organize information and share this with others. To keep things secure, documents go to a cloud drive, so employees can easily track changes in a single file that is stored in one central location. One of the main reasons these platforms are so popular is because users can add comments and notes using real-time collaboration. Since data can be synchronized and is readily available, everyone sees the most up-to-date information regardless of how they view the document.
OneDrive makes use of a SharePoint backdrop to work. This connects the two programs. The difference is that OneDrive is made for an individual, and the user remains in control even if the file is shared to different people. This means multiple teams can collaborate simultaneously as long as the original owner shares the document via a secure link. That person determines who can edit and view the file.
With SharePoint, employees throughout the company can view and edit the stored file. Changes are tracked and higher-ups will know who is working on the document. This is ideal for human resource surveys or updates that need the attention of other team members.
With SharePoint and OneDrive, businesses can improve the way they work. If you want to learn how online document sharing programs can improve your company's visibility and productivity, get in touch with us now. We're here for you.

Useful thoughts from Jason. We think this is an issue for all of us, not only those self-defining as men. We all contain a balance of energies, and we participate in cultures which devalue or under-value body awareness, 'beingness' and tenderness, whilst exalting force, performance and accomplishment. A significant…perhaps the single most important, in the writer's view…strand in therapy is about coming back to the body in our response to fear or distress. Such a simple, powerful, under-valued practice.
Here are the words, for those of you who have issues reading Facebook links.
'The problem that many men in our culture have is this: we substitute force for presence and body awareness. At the exact moment where what we most need is body awareness, tenderness, presence and 'beingness' we have been taught and habituated to use an excess of force. When we do this the results of our action are always awry in some way; we may use too much physical force and end up injuring ourselves or others or we may end up forcefully overthinking a situation and getting nowhere.
It is not that the use of force is wrong or mistaken, but that we have become habituated to using too much force and to substitute force for body awareness. Perhaps we should take the advice of that ancient Tai Chi master who said: 'to deflect the momentum of a thousand pounds you need only a trigger force of four ounces.' We may need to use as little effort as possible for the task in hand.
The result of continued habitual substitution of force for embodiment is that we tend to identify only with our performance and accomplishments instead of with the ground of our being and our vital life. When we identify only with our performance and accomplishments we are not truly alive, instead we live in a kind of disembodied half life, where we perceive that we have to continuously struggle to update our skills in order to survive or brandish our accomplishments in order to feel valued.

Jean Contreras, Arco Fruits:
DaVida, the new BIO+ and CO2 neutral brand of citrus fruit to give the organic market a push
Organic citrus fruit with a positive impact, grown on preserved land in western Andalusia. This is the commitment of DaVida, the new brand developed by Arco Fruits for the French organic market. The goal is to make this brand the reference of a new organic agriculture. But DaVida also wants to become an identity carrying the message that a new way of cultivation and consumption is possible, respectful of all living organisms. "This production is unique and ahead of the current regulations", integrating the principles of agroecology as well as the environmental, social and societal dimensions.
DaVida wants to give meaning back to organic farming at a time when consumers can feel lost due to the multitude of labels present on the market. Arco Fruits believes in the potential of this new brand which "will bring significant and sustainable change to the organic fruit sector. We want to create a movement that makes sense and meets the expectations of today's consumers, who are increasingly mindful of their impact on the environment."
Besides these organic citrus fruits, DaVida offers fruits with the CO2 Neutral certification for "zero carbon footprint from production to delivery to retailers. The 100% organic orchard of "La finca El Zumajo" has a positive impact by slowing global warming. It acts as a carbon sink by storing CO2 through a natural mechanism comparable to the oceans and certain continental environments such as growing forests, peat bogs…"
Passionate people committed to the agriculture of tomorrow
At the origin of this movement, Jean Contreras and Carlos Morera are both passionate and committed to agriculture practices that respect living organisms and consumers. Convinced that "tomorrow's organic farming will be different from what we know today", they decided to rely on other agricultural practices, thus becoming "pioneers" of agroecology in Spain. In the late 1990s, Carlos Morera chose some land in the Comarca de la Cuenca Minera, at an altitude of 434 meters, with the aim of cultivating "ethical and sustainable" organic citrus fruits.
An isolated orchard of 1,200 ha located on an eco-terroir: La finca El Zumajo
Producing such "ethical and sustainable citrus fruits with a positive impact" is made possible thanks to a unique land isolated from any external contamination within a 40 km radius: La Finca El Zumajo. The entire production system of this family estate of 1,200 ha, managed in agroecology since 1989, has been redesigned to meet the specifications of organic farming. The fruits benefit from a particularly favorable topography due to the hilly plots, each with its own microclimate, an "essential ingredient for tasty and colorful fruit in all seasons".
From the beginning, the Finca production of organic citrus fruit has been the object of joint studies with the universities of Valencia and Castellón which have allowed, among other things, an efficient and responsible use of water (water consumption reduced by 30% in 4 years), the natural management and control of pests, the protection of the soil against erosion and a sustainable enrichment and fertilization of the soil with microorganisms.
Continuous varietal improvement
"We select our new species carefully and we plant them in an experimental orchard. After selection, we plant a large-scale commercial orchard to test the real agronomic aptitudes and to be able to offer them to our clients. These demonstration orchards also allow us to monitor flowering and ripening in addition to the fruit analyses: categories, calibers, firmness, sugar levels," explains Jean Contreras, general director of Arco Fruits.
Starting this year (2022-2023), Arco Fruits is committed to harvesting and marketing new early and late varieties of oranges in order to guarantee supply all year round on the organic market. For the 2024-2025 campaign, the company wants to add new varieties of organic clementines that will allow the campaign to spread until the end of spring. This year's production has increased by 20% and should continue to grow in the future. "Each year, our model brings us closer to the yields from the conventional market, which suggests that our production might become more accessible." This success should encourage the company to conquer other European markets.
In order to maintain a coherent global approach, Arco Fruits has changed the packaging of its merchandise. The ethical and sustainable citrus fruits are packed in recycled or recyclable cardboard boxes with ecological openings and compostable stickers.

Tony Munter summarizes the Texas False Claims Acts below. He does not practice in the jurisdiction of Texas. The summaries of other states can be found in our state by state guide page.
Texas laws provide for penalties and damages when defrauding the state of health care funds only. Unfortunately, there is still no right to pursue a claim, which is not related to health care.
Similar to other states with this kind of legal structure, Texas Claims can be brought as part of a consolidated action under the Federal False Claims Act if there are claims involving Texas funds, which arise out of a common nucleus of facts or transactions.
The laws are codified within the Texas Human Resources Code and Government Code and include the Medical Assistance Program Damages and Penalties, the Medicaid Fraud Prevention (including actions by Private Persons) and the Award for reporting Medicaid Fraud, Abuse or Overcharges.
Texas does allow for individuals to file a claim when there is a health care related fraud committed in the State of Texas using Texas money under the Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act.
Texas law leaves no room for doubt that it does not allow for kickbacks or bribes in State healthcare plans. The State codifies language similar to the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute indicating that a violation is committed if a person "solicits or receives" any such illegal remuneration and makes clear what is illegal and how such remuneration may not be used as an inducement.
One detail of these laws is that Texas specifically makes it a false claim to knowingly present or cause to be presented a claim for payment under the Medicaid program for a product provided or a service rendered by a person who "is not licensed to provide the product or service…or is not licensed in the manner claimed…" See §36.002.6(A) and (B).
One might think that to be an obvious violation of law that need not be spelled out, but a great deal of litigation on the Federal level has revolved around what licensing or lack thereof creates a false claim to the United States. It is good to see this specifically spelled out in Texas law.
The qui tam rights are similar to the Federal Law and the resulting Relator's shares are 15 percent to 25 percent awarded if the State intervenes in the Action and 25 percent to 30 percent if the State does not and the Relator proceeds and obtains an award. Of course, Texas also includes anti-retaliation provisions.
Meanwhile, in another unusual provision, the State codifies its right to appoint a Private Attorney to proceed with an action if it decides to intervene in the case. This is a sensible provision which really ought to be spread to other jurisdictions.
State's Attorney Generals might well intervene in and support more cases if they did not have to burden the office directly with the work involved in maintaining such litigation.

El 34è Saló Internacional del Còmic de Barcelona se celebrà entre el dijous 5 i el diumenge 8 de maig de 2016 a la Fira de Barcelona de Montjuïc.

Una de les atraccions principals del Saló fou l'exposició monogràfica dedicada a Francisco Ibáñez, amb motiu del seu 80è aniversari.  L'exposició antològica "Per molts anys, Ibáñez!" aplegà unes 100 pàgines de còmic originals des dels anys 1950 fins al present, posant èmfasi en els personatges més populars de l'autor, com Rompetechos, El botones Sacarino, Pepe Gotera y Otilio o Mortadel·lo i Filemó.

Ibáñez retornà així per la porta gran al Saló, amb una nova exposició de les moltes que el certàmen barceloní del la vinyeta ja havia acollit al llarg de la seva història. La 13a edició del Saló (1995), va mostrar la primera exposició dedicada a Ibáñez, amb motiu del Gran Premi Saló que l'autor havia rebut pel conjunt de la seva obra en l'edició precedent. El Saló de 1998 li dedicà una nova exposició, amb motiu del 40è aniversari dels sus personatges Mortadel·lo i Filemó. Finalment, el 2008, el Saló va retre un nou homenatge a Ibáñez amb motiu del 50è aniversari dels seus cèlebres agents.

Un altre focus d'atenció fou la presència per primera vegada a Barcelona de Frank Miller. L'autor nord-americà ja havia sigut nominat a la millor obra estrangera a la 12a edició del Saló (1994) per Sin City i havia guanyat aquest mateix guardó a la 18a edició del Saló (2000) amb 300. No obstant, Miller encara no havia fet mai acte de presència al Saló. La seva visita va coincidir amb el 30è aniversari de la publicació de la seva cèlebre obra Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

Antoni Guiral fou nomenat director de continguts del certamen del 9è art pel Comitè Organitzador del Saló. A més de portaveu, Guiral fou el responsable de les exposicions, conferències, tallers i altres activitats culturals, lúdiques i pedagògiques del Saló.

El director del Saló, Carles Santamaria, va fer un balanç molt positiu de la 34a edició, amb un augment del nombre de visitants i de l'activitat. El Saló va ocupar una superfície rècord de 45.000 m² i va tancar amb un nou rècord de públic de 118.000 visitants, 5.000 més que a l'edició de 2015, i amb un augment de les vendes que alguns editors situaven fins a un 40%.

Cartell
Ficomic va encarregar la il·lustració del cartell promocional al dibuixant Francisco Ibáñez, esdevenint una contribució més de l'homenatge rendit a l'autor de Mortadel·lo i Filemó, amb motiu del seu 80è aniversari.

El cartell mostra els personatges més populars i carismàtics d'Ibáñez, que es dirigeixen cap al Saló enfilats a un cotxe i una moto, en referència a l'edició del Saló, que dedicà l'exposició central a mostrar els vincles entre còmics i vehicles. El professor Bacteri i Ofèlia comparteixen una moto, mentre que el Súper i Filemó condueixen un cotxe. Mortadel·lo, al seu damunt, va disfressat de cowboy per a l'ocasió, muntat a un cavall. Filemó li retreu «Mortadel·lo, crec que no ho va entendre quan li van dir que havia d'anar al Saló». Al fons del cartell es veu la silueta de les dues torres venecianes de la plaça d'Espanya, seu del Saló.

 Polèmica
La 34a edició fou protagonista d'una polèmica originada per la retirada d'algunes il·lustracions pertanyets a l'exposició "Còmic Injuve 2016", organitzada per lInsituto de la Juventud del Ministeri de Sanitat, amb obres de joves creadors. L'organització va qualificar les imatges retirades de sodomia i pornografia explícita, no aptes per un Saló destinat a tots els públics. Segons Carles Santamaría, l'exposició havia sigut muntada directament pels seus promotors poc abans de l'obertura del certamen i quan l'organització del Saló es va adonar del contingut les va retirar.

Els còmics censurats foren Hedor se escribe con H dels autors Libertad Ballester i Gabriela Pavinsky, en el qual es veia un cunnilingus, i Tom de Víctor Puchalski, el qual mostrava una esvàstica formada per penis. Els artistes no van tardar a catalogar la decisió de Ficomic d'acte de censura i ho van denunciar a les xarxes socials. Per acabar d'afegir més llenya al foc, també foren retirades il·lustracions de Miki Montlló, Autor Revelació de 2015. Montlló tenia la seva pròpia exposició al Saló, en la qual s'hi mostraven diverses il·lustracions de cossos femenins nus i músics de jazz. A l'assabentar-se de la retirada dels seus originals, Montlló es va sumar a les veus crítiques de les xarxes socials que titllaven l'acte de censura. No obstant, l'organització es va disculpar posteriorment per la confusió, aclarint que les obres de Montlló només havien sigut retirades temporalment per motius tècnics, ja que calia reparar els marcs que havien sigut danyats.

Finalment, Santamaría va recordar que en anterior edicions, per tal de no ferir sensibilitats, el Saló havia habilitat espais restringits informant abans al públic sobre el contingut. En efecte, la 18a edició del Saló (2000), celebrada encara a l'Estació de França, havia acollit l'exposició "Kiss Comix", amb originals d'autors col·laboradors de la revista de còmic eròtic Kiss Comix com Kevin Taylor, Chijoyi, Tobalina, Rubén o Payá, entre d'altres. En aquella ocasió, sense polèmiques, l'exposició va estar ubicada a l'interior d'un vagó de tren amb accés restringit on només el públic major d'edat hi va tenir accés.
