Understand mental health better with new coaching course
07 Jun 2019 899
With 1 in 4 people in the UK experiencing a mental health problem each year, 1st4sport, Mind, Sport England and UK Coaching have collaborated to create a new online training course to help coaches and sport and physical activity providers increase their knowledge of mental health, and confidence when applying the learning into their coaching practice.
With funding from Sport England and the National Lottery and subject matter expertise from Mind, Mental Health Awareness for Sport and Physical Activity will not only equip everyone who delivers coaching in clubs, community sport and physical activity with the skills to support and engage people experiencing mental health problems, but also support more people with mental health problems to become and remain physically active.
Specifically, the new course will help learners to:
welcome and support people living with mental health problems in their sport and physical activity sessions
increase their knowledge of mental health problems
apply the learning in their coaching practice
make their club or organisation more inclusive
The launch of the course coincides with Coaching Week, the national campaign for coaching, which brings together clubs, coaches, community groups, education, businesses and the public to showcase and explore how coaches can play a greater role in building healthier, happier communities.
UK Coaching's CEO Mark Gannon, said:
We are proud to have worked collectively with Mind on this project to develop a learning programme that helps coaches support people if they're experiencing mental health problems and need help.
"This year's Coaching Week looks to explore what coaching can do for people and their communities. With over 3 million coaches providing sport and physical activity to over 14 million adults and children every year, it is paramount that coaches have access to guidance and learning that equips them to guide, support and inspire their participants so that they might thrive."
1st4sport's Head of Learning and Assessment John Clark, said:
We are delighted to have worked with Mind to develop this online learning for the sport and physical activity sector. I believe that coaching through the medium of sport and physical activity can play a massive part in maintaining people's mental well-being and aiding recovery.
"It is hugely important that we provide the resources that can increase people's awareness and understanding of mental well-being, especially when it comes to tackling stigma and discrimination."
Mind's Head of Physical Activity Hayley Jarvis, said:
We know that people with mental health problems face additional barriers to getting physically active, whether that's self-consciousness, cost or symptoms like feeling tired or putting on weight. That's why we're pleased to have worked closely with Sport England, UK Coaching and 1st4sport to create this new eLearning course.
"We hope that convenient, accessible training for coaches will ultimately mean more people with mental health problems feel able to get active, as well as giving coaches more resources in their locker to look after their own mental health, as well as their peers."
Sport England's Head of Coaching Stuart Armstrong, said:
We know that those who take part in sport and physical activity have improved mental health and resilience across all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. But too many people struggling with their mental health feel like they can't take part and get active. Everyone should be able to access the huge benefits of an active lifestyle – especially those with mental health problems as the impact regular activity can have on their lives can be that much more transformational.
"That's why Sport England is investing National Lottery funding and working with Mind and UK Coaching on the Get Set to Go programme, to make sure that coaches, and all those who provide activity, feel confident to support people with mental health problems to get active. We are delighted to be working on such an innovative eLearning course and hope to see coaches and activity providers widen their skills to help build resilience, confidence and self-esteem, make their session more inclusive, support mental health recovery and tackle mental health stigma and discrimination."
UK Coaching's own research has demonstrated the positive association between coaching and mental health; mutually benefiting both the coach and the participant. And just recently, Minister for Sport Mims Davies set out her priorities for 'increasing access to sport and improving health and well-being' in her speech at the launch of UK Sport's future funding strategy. She talked of the positive impact that sport and physical activity has on the nation's health and well-being, as well as taking the pressure off our health and social care systems.
Everyone who delivers coaching in clubs, community sport and physical activity – such as coaches, activators, sports administrators, front of house staff and volunteers – will benefit from the course.
The online course costs £15 (excluding VAT) and is available for everyone to access through ukcoaching.org.
1st4sport recognised centres and partners can access the online course for groups of learners via 1st4sport.co.uk. Contact 1st4sport for more information. All other organisations interested in purchasing the course for their employees or learners can do so by getting in touch with UK Coaching. Volume discounts are available.

Globally, less than 40% of infants under six months of age are exclusively breastfed. Breast milk not only has disease fighting substances to protect your baby from illnesses, but it also is pack full of all the vitamins and nutrients your baby needs. This is why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for at least the first six months of life, and to continue for as long as the mother and baby are willing and able. Breastfeeding is not only beneficial to your baby, but also yourself. Breastfeeding is by far the best feeding option for your baby.
When you think of feeding your baby, you have two options: breast milk or formula. I'm sure when you think of breastfeeding, you think it's hard and painful, but in truth it is not. It is easier and more beneficial than formula in many ways. Let's first consider the cost. One very important thing for any mother to consider is finances. After all, your little bundle of joy is going to take a lot of money to raise till 18. Statistics show that breastfeeding in the first year can save you anywhere between 1,500 to 3,000 dollars on formula. That's one semester at a community college! A recent study by the USDA concluded that 3.6 billion dollars in medical costs could be saved if the current rate of children exclusively breastfed was raised to the recommendations of the Surgeon General. This study is a bare minimum of what could be saved. It is assumed that the actual savings is a lot higher since this study only conducted reports on 3 childhood illnesses. Since breastfeeding provides your baby with immune protection, you could potentially save thousands on medical bills, and you cannot forget all the over the counter meds you could spare.
Breastfeeding has a long list of health benefits as well. Breast milk protects your baby from illnesses, from developing allergies; it lowers your baby's risk of SIDS, as well as protects your child from obesity. You might be wondering why you can't receive the same benefits from formula and here's why. It's impossible for formula to compare to the complexity of breast milk. Your milk is custom-made just for your baby. Your body responds to pathogens that you are exposed to, and actually creates a substance in your milk to protect your baby from exposure. Pretty amazing huh? In one study, The National Institute of Environmental Sciences determined your baby will have a 20 percent less chance of dying in the first year of life if breastfed. Not only does breastfeeding protect your baby from developing illnesses in the early stages of life, but it will also help avoid diseases in the future. Breastfed babies are less likely to have diabetes, high cholesterol, and inflammatory bowel disease in their adult life. I know, as a parent, you want to do everything you can to protect your children from harm. After all, it doesn't matter how old they get, they'll always be your babies.

Our Doc is the best!
We have an old school family doc. She's taken care of my family for almost 3 decades and we LOVE her. Dr. Caroline Close is everything you want in a Doc. She is smart, current, thorough, thoughtful, curious, cautious, kind, communicative, and compassionate. All that and a bag of chips. Actually, it was a protein bar, pulled from her own stash when she noticed me shaking one day because I hadn't eaten.
Through all the normal maladies of life and aging, pediatrics and wellness care, as well as a frustrating, painful, complex chronic problem, she is right there. Handling her part and quarterbacking the rest. Calling in the right specialist at the right time, she makes GREAT referrals. Gently calming an overreaction and even tossing some humor in the mix.
We are blessed to have found such a good family practice Doctor and her care has significantly improved my quality of life. Bravo Dr. Close, we love you.

Steve Austin Says Tag-Team Wrestling Has Changed, Talks Gargano, Ciampa, More
By Matt Boone
WWE Hall Of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has some strong opinions on certain pro wrestling topics, and tag-team wrestling is one of them.
On his Steve Austin Show podcast this past Tuesday, which featured special guest Paul Lazenby, "The Texas Rattlesnake" took some time out to talk at length about the subject of tag-team wrestling.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the show.
On the struggles today's tag-team scene faces that didn't exist back in the day: "Man, and that's the thing. The tag team scene just ain't what it used to be and that's not knocking any team that's out there. I'm just saying there aren't as many teams and they're not together as long to build the history, the chemistry, and you just know what the other guy is going to do when you go out there. You have four different people out there and a referee. With all the minds and all the different tricks you can do, there's so much to watch, so I love tag team wrestling. It's just that it [has] kind of faded off a little bit and that's with all respect to the tag teams still out there doing good work. It just has changed."
On whether or not he thinks his old tag-team, The Hollywood Blondes, with the late Brian Pillman, should be considered among the best of all-time: "Hell no, we're not even close! We're not even in the top 15 or 20. Brian and I were good for the time we were together. We could've been excellent! But we were good and had we had as much time together or as many matches as a lot of other tag teams, I venture to say we would have been in the conversation. But no, we're not in the conversation. We never were, but, man, did I have a lot of fun with Brian. Were we good? Damn right! Did we have chemistry? Yes, we did! But we're not in that conversation, not even close to it."
On the long run of WWE Hall Of Fame tag-team Harlem Heat -- Booker T and Stevie Ray: "I can't leave off Booker T and Stevie Ray. We tried to open the show with some Stevie Ray Vaughan and it didn't work! When they showed up on the scene at WCW way back in the day, it was like two guys show up and they're both big and jacked up, and they got some charisma about them, and they've got some edge about them. And it turns out they can work too. And yeah, one of them is really athletic, so Harlem Heat had a hell of a damn run!"
On present day tag-teams that have left a lasting impact on him: "I love The Revival -- [Scott] Dawson and Dash [Wilder]. But I also liked when they were having those matches with, back at the time when they were a team and when they weren't feuding and they would go on to have lights out singles matches, [Johnny] Gargano and [Tommaso] Ciampa."

Wicks Resignation Jolts YRC, Industry
Timothy Wicks' resignation as YRC Worldwide's president and COO shortly before the release of the company's first quarter results sent shockwaves across the trucking industry, where it was widely seen as yet another sign that YRC is struggling with its recovery plans. Although the less-than-truckload operator reported higher volume in March, its progress was slowed by bitter winter weather in February and shipper unease over its future. The company narrowly avoided bankruptcy at the end of December with a $470 million debt-for-equity swap with bondholders. The $5.3 billion company's nationwide LTL carrier handled approximately 42,700 shipments a day in the first quarter, down 10.5 percent from the fourth quarter. Other carriers continue to gain market share at YRC's expense, said Satish Jindel, president of SJ Consulting Group. "Wicks may have been feeling pressure for not making progress as fast as the banks and the board wanted," he said. "The company needs to not just maintain shipment levels but increase them." That's a big challenge for Chairman and CEO William D. Zollars and whomever the company chooses as its new president. Wicks is returning to United Healthcare, which he left in October 2008 to join YRC Worldwide as executive vice president and chief financial officer. He was promoted to chief operating officer last September and to president a month later — a rapid ascent powered by his handling of financial negotiations with YRC's banking group. R.W. Baird transportation analyst Jon A. Langenfeld said Wicks' resignation points to "ongoing leadership instability" at YRC Worldwide and is "an additional distraction" to YRC's efforts to rebuild customer confidence. YRC signaled Wicks' value early this year when it paid him $400,000 as part of a noncompetition and incentive package. If the company met certain performance goals, and he stayed with YRC, he was to receive an additional $200,000 April 1 and another $200,000 in July. Wicks received $879,874 in compensation, including salary, stock and $271,164 in relocation expenses, in 2009, according to company documents.
Air Cargo Surges in Europe, Asia
In the latest evidence that volumes are surging across all transportation modes and around the world, Frankfurt airport in March handled more than 200,000 metric tons of freight, the first time Europe's biggest airport hub has ever topped that level in a single month. The new monthly record of 203,308 metric tons, which was up 37.4 percent from a year earlier, was 11,400 metric tons above the previous peak month of November 2007, airport owner Fraport AG said. The airport also set a new daily record of 8,511 metric tons on March 14. Lufthansa was a key contributor, with volume jumping 26.4 percent in the month, to 155,000 metric tons, on a 3.3 percent increase in capacity. The Fraport group's five majority owned airports — Antalya, Turkey; Burgas and Varna, Bulgaria; Lima, Peru; and Frankfurt — boosted first quarter cargo traffic by 30.8 percent to 590,000 metric tons. Separately, London Heathrow, Europe's third-largest cargo airport, increased freight traffic by 29.6 percent in March to 133,399 metric tons, taking throughput for the first three months to 352,720 metric tons, up 23.1 percent year-over-year. London Stansted, a freighter and express hub, boosted March cargo traffic by 23.3 percent to 18,865 metric tons. Asian gains have been equally impressive, as international cargo jumped 24.3 percent at Japan Airlines and 66.5 percent at All Nippon Airways in February.
Domestic Intermodal Primed for Growth
Domestic intermodal rail weathered the economic recession better than most transportation modes, and the industry appears now to be on the verge of unprecedented growth. The growth in domestic intermodal will be driven by shipper requirements to reduce transportation costs, improve reliability of intermodal services by all rail carriers and in corporate America's desire to reduce its carbon footprint. "The changes are so profound I believe we are at an inflection point," Brian McDonald, vice president of intermodal at Union Pacific Railroad, told the Los Angeles Transportation Club. UP is a case in point. Domestic intermodal was the only sector of UP's 40 commodity lines to grow during the recession last year. In fact, UP handled a record number of domestic intermodal units in 2009. Changing customer requirements will be a primary driver of domestic intermodal growth. Traffic managers are acting under a mandate to reduce transportation costs, and substituting domestic intermodal for over-the-road trucking is the quickest way to cut costs over longer distances, McDonald said. Retailers have decided it is better to take control of imported merchandise earlier in the supply chain. Rather than shipping full 40-foot container loads of merchandise from Asia to distribution centers in the Midwest, retailers are stopping the containers at West Coast ports and transloading the contents into 53-foot domestic containers, thereby increasing their distribution options across the country, McDonald said. This transloading phenomenon last year resulted in an increase of some 100,000 domestic units in Southern California, he said.
Evergreen to Order Up to 100 Ships
Evergreen Line, which has earned a reputation and been rewarded for its caution in adding container capacity during the last few years, has decided it's time to buy — in a big way. The Taiwanese line confirmed it would start negotiating with shipyards in May to build as many as 100 container ships. The news came as Evergreen Group Chairman Chang Yung-Fa said the group recorded an annual loss for the first time since the company's inception. He said the group's overall losses totaled only $300 million last year, with massive losses in the first half before returning to profitability in the second half. He said refraining from placing reckless vessel orders was a decisive factor in curbing its losses. Evergreen's plans for new ships include orders for 32 vessels of a new type with capacity of 8,000 TEUs each, 20 S-type (7,024-TEU) ships, 20 U-type (5,364-TEU) ships and 20 or more 2,000-TEU ships of a new type that will be used for feeder services. Evergreen, the world's fourth-largest container line by capacity for at least the last five years, slid into fifth place this year as APL, which also has been cautious about ordering new ships, moved past it, according to Paris-based consultant and analyst AXS-Alphaliner. Evergreen's fleet includes 148 container ships, with a total capacity of 551,490 TEUs, of which it owns 87 and charters 61. It currently has no ships on order.
Carriers Put Idle Ships Back to Work
The number of laid-up container ships above 5,000 TEUs has dwindled to the lowest level in more than 14 months, largely due to slow-steaming, and will likely fall further in the coming two months as the peak shipping season gets under way and ocean carriers launch new services to cope with rising demand, Paris-based consultant and analyst AXS-Alphaliner said. The number of unemployed container ships is expected to fall below 20 by June from a peak of 82 in March 2009 with the introduction of 10 new services on the Far East-Europe and Far East-North America routes in the March-May period. Rising cargo demand also is expected to absorb all the large new container ships to be delivered in the first half of the year. All 20 container ships of more than 5,000 TEUs delivered since Jan. 1 have found work. But Alphaliner cautioned that "with more than 100 new ships of more than 5,000 TEUs scheduled for delivery in 2010, the idle capacity could rise again at the end of the peak season." Larger container ships have benefited most from the move by carriers toward slow-steaming since the second half of 2009. Extra slow-steaming has absorbed more than 50 vessels of more than 5,000 TEUs, according to Alphaliner.
Asia-Europe Trade Soars 56 Percent
Containerized exports from Asia to Europe surged 56 percent in February from a year earlier and approached pre-recession levels, according to the latest figures from the European Liner Affairs Association. Westbound dry and reefer shipments to Europe rose to 960,800 TEUs from 617,920 TEUs in
February 2009, the Brussels-based carrier group said. But it urged caution, "because February 2009 was the low point in the recession in the Europe-Asia trade." The ELAA noted, "When we compare the 2010 figures for January and February with those for 2008, they are virtually the same. All lines would like to forget 2009, and in doing our projections, this is what we should do." Eastbound volume from Europe to Asia climbed more than 26 percent year-over-year in February to 452,600 TEUs. Eastbound traffic out of Europe also returned to 2008 levels in January and February, and the Indian subcontinent and Middle East trades "show exactly the same pattern," the ELAA said. But the trans-Atlantic trade "is still languishing with volumes significantly below 2008," the group said. Westbound traffic from Europe rose 13.5 percent in February from a year earlier to 242,400 TEUs while eastbound shipments from North America climbed nearly 16 percent to 223,400 TEUs.
Importers Stock Up As Consumers Spend
The inventory replenishment that began in January carried over into February as U.S. importers rushed to meet rising consumer demand. And with March retail sales jumping 7.6 percent, it appears transportation providers can look forward to the restocking trend continuing in the short term. Imports rose 1.7 percent in February, while exports barely inched up, leading to a 7.4 percent increase in the trade deficit from January. With inventories rising to an estimated $429.2 billion by the end of the month and sales estimated at $282.4 billion, the inventory-to-sales ratio climbed to 1.52 from 1.49 in January and a low of 1.15 in December, indicating that retailers were expecting higher sales. Those expectations were met in March, when retail sales rose 1.6 percent, up from February's revised 0.5 percent. The increases were across-the-board. Car dealers, home furnishing stores, building suppliers, sporting goods stores, clothing retailers and general merchandise stores all reported gains. Better weather and an earlier Easter than in 2009, helped weather-sensitive items such as clothing and building materials, but there was an underlying pickup in consumer spending that goes beyond the weather, according to Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight. Last week's report on consumer spending revised upward the sales estimates for January and February, and it now appears real consumer spending rose about 3.5 percent in the first quarter, the fastest increase in three years.
US, Mexico Look to Revive Cross-Border Trucking
The U.S. and Mexico moved closer to a new cross-border trucking agreement with plans for a "working group" to consider the next steps toward reviving cross-border trucking. In announcing the plans, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and his Mexican counterpart, Juan Molinar Horcasitas, said establishing a new binational trucking program is an issue of "highest priority." After Congress killed a controversial Bush administration cross-border trucking program last year, Mexico slapped retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products. LaHood and Molinar also agreed to continue cooperating on aviation safety issues and reviewed the status of border region transportation infrastructure projects.

Description: Antiphonaries are liturgical manuscripts of Gregorian chants which register the Liturgy of the Hours, as this was celebrated in the Middle Ages by the monks and canons of cathedral and collegiate chapters. Each Liturgy of the Hours consisted of a recitation of Psalms, linked together by antiphons, a reading, a hymn, and a prayer. The eight volumes of the St. Nicolas Antiphonaries, consisting of two sets of four volumes each, to be placed in front of the choir stalls, visible from both sides of the choir, were produced in the years 1509-1517 for the newly founded Monastery of St. Nicolas in Fribourg and are among the finest examples of medieval Swiss antiphonaries. For the 500th anniversary of the Cathedral, the eight volumes were digitized and made available via e-codices. The antiphonaries have been digitized thanks to the financial support of the "the 4 pillars of Fribourg's economy" (Groupe E, BCF, ECAB and TPF).

Appropriation of earnings (item 9b) The Board proposes that no dividend be paid for the 2005 financial year. Election of the Board, Appointment of the Nominating Committee, etc. (items 10–13) The nomination process for the election of the Board and the appointment of the Nominating Committee is in its final stages and the proposals for the number of Board Members, board remuneration and the election of Board Members in accordance with items 10–12 above and the proposal for the Nominating Committee in accordance with item 13 will be made public in a press release in good time prior to the AGM. Move to amend the Articles of Incorporation (item 14) The Board proposes that the AGM adopt an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation in order to bring said Articles in line with the requirements of the new Swedish Companies Act. The Board's proposal primarily entails the stipulation on the nominal amount of shares being replaced with a stipulation on minimum and maximum numbers of shares in the Company, stockholders having preferential rights in the issue of new stock that is not paid for with capital contributed in kind, with such preferential rights equally applicable to the issue of options and convertibles, notice being given through advertisements in the Swedish Official Gazette and the Swedish daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, and various amendments of an editorial nature. Stock issue authorization (item 15a) The Board proposes that the AGM authorize the Board, for the period until the next AGM, to decide on new stock issues encompassing Series B shares. Such stock issues decided by the Board will include preferential rights for existing stockholders. Stock issue authorization (item 15b) The Board proposes that the AGM authorize the Board, for the period until the next AGM, to on one or more occasion decide on new stock issues encompassing a maximum of 8,500,000 Series B shares for cash payment and/or in-kind or offset considerations or other terms and even with the possibility to deviate from stockholders' preferential rights. A new stock issue of 8,500,000 shares is equivalent to dilution of the votes of approximately 9 percent and of equity of approximately 10 percent without taking into account the dilution that would arise on the exercise of outstanding options in the Nocom TO 2B option program. The reason behind permitting a deviation from stockholders' preferential rights is to enable the Company to issue stock in conjunction with the acquisition of companies or operations. The Company shall also be able to implement directed new stock issues in the capital market in order to raise capital for the Company, such as in conjunction with corporate acquisitions paid in cash. Move to issue options and to adopt an incentive program The Board proposes that the AGM decide that the Company, with a deviation from stockholders' preferential rights, without payment shall issue 1,750,000 options providing rights to subscribe to 1,750,000 new Series B shares. The party authorized to subscribe to these options is, with a deviation from stockholders' preferential rights, the wholly-owned subsidiary Nocom Software AB (the "Subsidiary"), with the Subsidiary owning the right and obligation to offer all Nocom group employees the opportunity to acquire the options. The options will be subscribed to during the period May 4 – May 31, 2006. The Board owns the right to extend the subscription period. After subscription, the Subsidiary will transfer the options to employees of the Nocom group under market conditions. The options shall be offered as follows: 1)	Senior executives in the group and subsidiary managers for larger units (3 people) will be offered the opportunity to acquire a maximum of 200,000 options each. 2)	Other subsidiary managers (5 people) will be offered the opportunity to acquire a maximum of 50,000 options each. 3)	Other senior management in subsidiaries (50 people) will be offered the opportunity to acquire a maximum of 10,000 options each. 4)	Other personnel (200 people) will be offered the opportunity to acquire a maximum of 2,000 options each. Options not acquired by employees in accordance with the above will be held until further notice by the Subsidiary and be offered, in accordance with instructions from the Board, to future key personnel in accordance with the applicable distribution principles. The Board proposes that the AGM approve of the selling on of the options in accordance with the program. Each option provides the holder with the right during the period May 1, 2008 to May 31, 2008 to subscribe to a new Series B share in Nocom AB at a subscription price equivalent to 130 percent of the average of the highest and lowest prices paid for Nocom B stock, quoted on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, on trading days in the period May 22 – June 2, 2006. The Board's reasoning for the above proposal is that personal and long-term ownership among senior management and other personnel can be expected to stimulate increased interest in the Company's operations and earnings trend, as well as to increase motivation and the sense of belonging in the Company. On full exercise of the options, capital stock will increase by SEK 1,750,000. This means that on full exercise of the proposed options, the dilution effect of the new stock will correspond to about 1.7 percent of the shares in circulation and 1.6 percent of the votes in the Company. If all options from the outstanding Nocom TO 2B option program are exercised, the dilution effect of the new stock in the proposed employee option program will correspond to about 1.6 percent of the shares in circulation and 1.5 percent of the votes in the Company. Other The decisions of the AGM under items 14 and 15b are only valid if supported by stockholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the stock represented. The decision of the AGM under item 16 is only valid if supported by stockholders holding at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the stock represented. The annual accounts and the auditors' report for the 2005 financial year and the complete versions of the above proposals from the Board will be available at the Company's office and on the Company's website, www.nocom.se, as of April 19, 2006 and will be sent to stockholders on request.

Rykjeklut 785
I kinda knew what was coming, even if I was hoping for better. Got me emotional it did.
And the epilogue was a bit of a slog.. didn't feel like playing as John after Arthur.
But, are there multiple endings?

I think having him sick made me personally fight and provide for the gang a harder and more. Making sure morale was up in the sh*tty time that was chapter 6. I tried my best for everyone in the end and I loved every second of it.. The games ending is truly amazing too.. If you read into it more
volta2001 691
It'd be damn near impossible to ruin a game this good. That said, I'm glad I made a bunch of different saves throughout the story because I don't want to play as John. Did that for a lot of years
Jason 22,011

Anyone linking Arthur's death to online needs to have their ethernet cord pulled I tell ya. Rockstar's writing team is full of industry veterans, legends even. They aren't going to belittle their stories to push people towards multiplayer.
The only thing that may have decided Arthur's fate early on in the writing process is that it's a prequel, having him alive during the acts of Red Dead 1 could be taken as strange, even if he was living a crime free life.
Honestly IMO I think they just wanted to have a definitive end to Arthur's story, just like we have a definitive end to John's story. There's no lingering questions about what happens to Arthur in later life, or what he's doing during the acts of RDR1, his story is complete, done.

It didnt ruin the game for me johns voice sounds more natural than the actor putting on a accent for arthur. I was hoping we could play as sadie at the end of the game hopefully for rdr 3 they could do anything with her story

John usually sounds pretty bad.
Arthur has a natural way of greeting people for instance, John just shouts for seemingly no reason and the voice actor doesn't seem to understand what context the line he's reading is set in.
It was already pretty annoying in RDR1 when he ruined the moment Uncle was killed by shouting "there's nothing we can do for him now" when it was obviously a line he should've said in a much calmer manner.

In a alternative universe.... We keep playing as Arthur at the end, he's laying low in New Austin with Mary with a couple of epilogue mission been a good guy..... People at the forums: "No R* should kill his character how are they gonna explain the events of RDR1 if he still alive"! "Holly fu#* R* should use this ending to play as John we could see how he makes his ranch, don't get me wrong I love Arthur but there's no point to keep playing as him". Whines and complaints can go on and on....
Could've made it so that Arthur never got sick but decided to go on alone after what happened to the gang. I think that would've been bittersweet enough.
As for why he's not mentioned in RDR1, it's unrealistic that he wasn't mentioned anyway even though he was dead, so what's the point of killing him? He didn't need to be dead to be absent, and at the least, he didn't need to die in the game.
I think what should've been an option from the start is being able to play different characters like in GTA. We could play as Arthur, John, and Sadie, switch guns and items between them at camp, and so on. That way John can have his story without Arthur having to die.

No, the ending is what's meant to me. It's a wrap-up of the Dutch van der Line gang's story in the Red Dead series, and it's a good one in which all members died except for the very few who escaped earlier and weren't involved in the action or robberies. The writing for Arthur's ending was smart by showing him very sick from a disease that will eventually kill him, and he indeed died of a natural cause at the top of a mountain after fighting against the rat, Micah, and the Pinkertons. I've just finished the chapter today and apparently Marston found his body and retrieved his journal, too, so I'm assuming that he also gave him a proper burial somewhere. It was an emotional path leading to Arthur's death during the last few missions as I really liked his character.

gaming is dead
It didn't ruin it for me, but I didn't particularly like it which is why I started a new game immediately after to continue playing as Arthur.
I get the reasons, but I don't know that they needed to be that predictable. I still love the game though don't get me wrong but I think Rockstar should worry less about Symmetry when it comes to RDR. I'd figured out that Beechers Hope was going to be built in the game weeks before hand, so I guess maybe it catered to the fans expectations to a degree.
either way, two save files is the way forward

You act like this is a stupid f*cking concept but it really isn't. Acting like they don't want any more of that online money and wouldn't compromise their story just to get it. Why do you say that? What kind of fantasy world do you live in? It's very naive and idealistic of you to think that way. People want money. Even industry veterans and legends.
Mind you, I don't think the ending was bad, but I can't stand the endgame. John is just not satisfying to play as and my argument is that's by design.
Edited November 9, 2018 by Cutter De Blanc
Mate I think the whole subforum knows you don't like the ending but don't let that turn you stupid.
They didn't spend 8 years making a story to compromise it. They didn't gimp the story they wanted to write on the belief that it would push people to play the online. Literally no one has done that ever. You don't need to, it's simply not a thing, people will play it anyway. Yes they're a business and yes they like to make money but we're talking about a game that has sold 17 million copies already despite the fact they've mentioned RDO about twice in any official capacity, they sold 17 million copies already without having to comprise the story.
It's not idealistic or naive to think that, there are far more clever ways they can suck people into the multiplayer, like say offering SP rewards for trying out the MP. But ending the story the way they did? No man, just no.

I've also gone for two save files, 100% completion is coming along nicely...second save gonna do a lot more hunting and stranger missions as Arthur since i only really finished them as John. Loved the dialogue change on the stranger missions and how John explained how he knew Arthur on certain encounters you did in the past playing as Arthur!
Edited November 9, 2018 by DEADWOODZ
I've practically done 100% of the stranger missions with John so I'm looking forward to doing them as Arthur. Overall I'm happy with it I just wish Arthur didn't die! and that John could swim the same as Arthur! lol the mad men
I feel the same, i find it hilarious how he can't swim...didn't Arthur make fun of him not being able to lmao? And yeah i did all the stranger missions as John. This new save play though is gonna be for fun really!

I dunno but I was re-aware of the idea after I boarded a tug with John and hoped that it would go inland enough that I could get back as soon as I make a break for it John struggles for an unreasonably long time whilst I watch the boat sail off from above me.
Pretty funny to be fair.
Some of the chapter 6 stranger stuff is great as Arthur, his health plays a part in them.
See, that's the thing i need experience still as Arthur...the games just keeps on giving!

Definitely not in the sense of story-telling. It was very mature to show us his deadly illnes in whole 6'th chapter. I could nearly feels his pain, that was very depressing and just sad. Final mission only showed what was unavoidable. And to be honest - his death was kinda relief - cause it was end of his pain and he did everything he can to complete his redemption and he saved John with his family.
Maybe it ruined my game (in some way) at gameplay point of view. Couse, as many others, I would preffer to play as (healthy) Arthur in the endgame, not as an John.

The only thing that ruined the end of the game for me is Sadie randomly becoming Hercules, and apparently the boss of everybody. I really liked her until they decided to override Marston's epilogue with a lame attempt at shoving a "strong independent woman" where it didn't need to be shoved. Sadie was already great, and already a strong and resilient character. They absolutely butchered her from chapter 6 through the epilogue. She legit hijacks the end of the game...

When I "accidentally" found out about Arthur's death via youtube thumbnails, I thought it would ruin it. Playing through the game and seeing Arthur's progression as a character changed things for me. I really liked how he realized money won't do him any good and he decided to help those who he had harmed before and especially his friends, like John and Sadie.
Also canon wise, it wouldn't have made sense for Arthur to survive. What was he going to do? He's a known criminal all over the map, it wouldve been a bit weird to just freeroam after the story and stroll around Saint Denis like nothing happened.
I made a save right before the Saint Denis heist in chapter 4 and I'm currently playing this one to get all the stuff done I want to do as Arthur.
The endgame as John is fun, too. Nice to have a home and roleplay a bit.
if john can freeroam then why cant arthur?

I didn't like it. I haven't played much of the epilogue yet, but it doesn't matter. The story had gotten to the point where I was just dying to just shoot Dutch in the face and ride off and go solo, but being the kind of game it is, I just pushed through trying to get to the end of the main story line. This is a truly great game, but you're SO boxed in as far as choices go, but I did want to get to the end, otherwise it would just feel stupid and incomplete, just riding off and never finishing it.
But then I get there, and Arthur dies, Dutch and Micah get off scott free, and suddenly I'm playing as someone else who I feel hardly any connection with. Sure, I like John, to a point. But I didn't play as Arthur for 55 hours, finding him the perfect horse, outfits, surviving grizzly attacks, hunting rabbits for hours, visiting the trapper with legendary pelts, having all the adventures he wrote down in his journal, etc, to suddenly roam the giant map as a supporting character who I know little about. I get that if you played RDR1 it probably has more meaning, but I tried it and for whatever reason, couldn't get into it. I'm almost afraid to play the epilogue to the end now; am I gonna suddenly wake up as Pearson in my own butcher stall next?
I'm glad the story was so great, at least (other than leaving me feeling a little unfulfilled; so all that was just to save John and his family). Otherwise, if you want to play as Arthur in free mode, you may as well just leave camp in Chapter 1 and never return, since you don't dare finish the story line anyway.
Just another thought; IMHO, yes, it's a better story the way it ended, but I think it makes gameplay worse.
AND one more edited in thought; I suppose in a way that starting with John now in the epilogue makes it a whole new game, which is my only positive way to spin it for my own gameplay. Technically the main story is really Red Dead One, the epilogue and any freeplay you do with John is Red Dead Two, while Red Dead One is now actually Red Dead Three.

It didn't ruin it for me....
His death was a lot better scripted than John Marston's and Cole Phelp's, and LOADS better than sh*tty ending A and B in GTA V(Though they ain't canon so....)
They really delivered his death well and made it accepting, I accepted the fact Arthur was going to die after he got sick and it was really hard to not get emotional during certain scenes. And after he gets diagnosed you can't help but play as an honorable Arthur almost as if his final act is redemption, saving John and making up for all the bad he's done. It really feels like Honorable Go for John is the canon ending. They even forshadowed it early on when people were at the campfire, saying what they wanted to happen when they were buried. Arthur said he wanted to be buried facing west, to remember the good times.... and that's how his grave is, and that is how he died.
John avenging Arthur and killing Micah was much more impactful and meaningful than Jack killing Ross
I do hope that the next RDR, they have an ending where the character actually gets to LIVE though. This "They die no matter what" is getting old and I don't think it'll work well a third time for this franchise. Multiple endings don't have much meaning if the same thing happens; I've watched Go for Money and it looks to be the DEAL and A/B ending for me.... an ending I never ever touch in my playthroughs

Yes to be honest, I kind of kept thinking they would pull that off around chapter 3 (legitimately told myself, imagine they kill him off and you play as John in the end).
I love the game, I love the story, but the ending just made me stop caring about any of my actions. I went for all the collectibles, animals, challenges, etc without caring about eating or taking massive damage from falls and so on. Meanwhile as Arthur I was always careful, always feeding him, always providing to the camp and helping out strangers left and right.
I'd like to play one game in the last 10 years from Rockstar where the protagonist doesn't die lol, I don't want to play every single one of their new games and playing the "who will die" guessing game.

Fire Safety Message - Every Second Counts!
When a fire occurs in the home, in many cases there may only be as little as 2 minutes after the alarm has sounded to safely exit your home. These valuable seconds go by fast during an emergency so its important to plan your escape routes and have a meeting place. Another small prevention tip is to make sure that you are never blocking exits with furniture, clothing or other obstructions. If you have items you cannot move away from exits, be sure to discuss this with your family so no one wastes valuable time trying to exit!

The John 8:44 Pope: Bishop Insinuates that Pope Francis is a Liar
Or maybe he is just an Ass Clown?
John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Catholic bishop: Pope's claim that Quran opposes violence "not true simply based on a plain reading of the Quran"
Jihad Watch – Schneider and Müller are likely now to run afoul of Pope Francis, who has made the risible claim that "authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence." Although this is not and could not ever be a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, it is assumed to be some kind of superdogma by the Catholic hierarchy worldwide, superseding all reason, all common sense, all fact, and all prudence, and is ruthlessly enforced, such that all those who stand by the truth are forcibly silenced and marginalized.
"Bishop Schneider: Catholics and Muslims share no common faith in God, no common adoration," LifeSite News, June 8, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
June 8, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Bishop Athanasius Schneider has once more raised his voice concerning the controversial February 4, 2019 Abu Dhabi Statement on Human Fraternity where Pope Francis and a Grand Imam jointly declared, among other problematic statements, that God wills a "diversity" of religions.
Bishop Schneider's intervention (read full text [here]) comes after Cardinal Gerhard Müller wrote an extensive interpretation and explanation of that document. While Cardinal Müller presents an "interpretative key" with the help of which one might be able to read this document in a less controversial manner, Bishop Schneider points out those aspects of the document which are not in accordance with Catholic Tradition and thus need to be criticized.
Writing for the Catholic journal Communio (3/2020), Cardinal Müller stated that it is "sensational" that, "for the first time in the eventful and conflict-ridden history of the two largest faith communities of the world – comprising together of 3 billion people – the highest authority of the Catholic Church and a high-ranking religious and academic authority of the Islamic world present a common text" which expects from their faithful "a consent which binds them in their consciences."
The German prelate explained that he wishes to present a "reading aid" for this document, which he assesses as being "not an act of the Magisterium" with regard to the revealed faith and morals, but still a document by the highest authority in the Church interpreting the natural moral law.
For the German prelate, this document "corresponds in its intention with the General Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations (1948)," beside its dealing with faith in God and His Grace. He continued to explain that both in the Christian and in the Islamic tradition, the "faith in God" calls for "fraternity as a vocation and a demand upon man in his conscience."…
As can be seen in this short summary of the new intervention of Cardinal Müller, he tries to interpret the Abu Dhabi document in a less controversial manner, similar to how he had approached, in 2017, the post-synodal exhortation Amoris Laetitia. At the time, he insisted that this document, which was used by shepherds in various places around the world as a justification to give Holy Communion to "remarried" Catholics currently living in adulterous unions, is not heretical. Or, as a title by the Website Crux put it in 2017: "Müller's defense of 'Amoris Laetitia' reads it in Church tradition."
With regard to Müller's statement on the Abu Dhabi text, both Katholisch.de – the German bishops' new website – as well as Vatican News reviewed it in a positive way.
However, there are different positions on how to approach some of these controversial documents by Pope Francis. Bishop Athanasius Schneider has chosen to directly confront the errors or ambiguities that are to be found in the Abu Dhabi statement. Only a few days ago, he already made a statement on the Abu Dhabi document opposing the view that God positively wills the diversity of religions. In that statement, Schneider discussed some problems regarding the Second Vatican Council's teaching on religious freedom which might need a future correction, just as it has been done in the past with other conciliar statements of previous centuries.
In his new statement as sent to LifeSiteNews, the Kazakh bishop of German origin points out that the same above-mentioned sentence – namely, that the diversity of religions is willed by God, just as the diversity of color, sex, and more – is "the most erroneous and dangerous affirmation" of the text. Bishop Schneider also criticizes the document's formulation about a common faith in God. By quoting Holy Scripture, he insists: "There is only 'one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism' (Eph. 4:5), 'for all men have not faith.' (2 Thess. 3:2)" In essence, there is only one true Faith, the Catholic Faith, and the other religions are false religions.
Further distinguishing between the Catholic Faith and the Muslim faith – and pointing to the Second Vatican Council's ambiguous teaching in this specific matter – the German prelate writes: "To state that Muslims adore together with us the one God ('nobiscum Deum adorant'), as Vatican II Council did in Lumen Gentium n. 16, is theologically a highly ambiguous affirmation. That we Catholics adore with the Muslims the one God is not true. We do not adore with them. In the act of adoration, we always adore the Holy Trinity, we do not simply adore 'the one God' but, rather, the Holy Trinity consciously—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Islam rejects the Holy Trinity. When the Muslims adore, they do not adore on the supernatural level of faith. Even our act of adoration is radically different."…
"According to Surah 9:29," he writes "Muslims are to 'fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture—[fight] until they give the tribute [jizyah] willingly while they are humbled.'"
"One cannot agree," Schneider continues, "with the thesis that says that a proper reading of the Koran is opposed to every form of violence. First, this is not true simply based on a plain reading of the Koran. The later Surahs of the Koran are very violent toward non-Muslims and call for the occupation of non-Muslim countries by violence. Even in our days, this is well understood by many Muslims to be the legitimate method to read the Koran."…
Therefore, the author comes to a clear conclusion with regard to the Abu Dhabi document: "From the theological point of view it is, therefore, misleading and confusing that the Roman Pontiff signed a common document with an Islamic religious authority using the terms 'God', 'Faith', 'pluralism and diversity of religions', 'fraternity,' though these terms have substantially different meanings in the teachings of the Koran and in the Divine Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ."…

Dries Mertens – Napoli and Belgium
Welcom to our player profile page on Napoli striker, Dries Mertens. His goalscoring record for the Italian side is second to none, however he may struggle to get into the Belgium starting lineup for the World Cup later this year. Regardless, take a look at this Talent Scout from October 2011 on him.
Expected to start alongside Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku for Belgium, Dries Mertens has an impressive goalscoring record for club and country. During the 2018 tournament he opened his account with a long range volley against Panama.

Talent Scout (October 2011)
While some compare his small, slender frame and delicious ball skills to Wesley Sneijder, others prefer to liken Dries Mertens to fellow Belgian attacker Eden Hazard of Lille. But, whatever the terms of reference, no one should be in any doubt as to the immense potential of PSV Eindhoven's summer signing, who began the new Eredivisie season with seven goals in his first five games.
Not that Mertens fever is a new phenomenon in Holland. In 2009, while at AGOVV Apeldoorn, he was voted the best player in the second division, then a year later, in his first season in the top-flight with Utrecht, he came runner-up to Ajax's Luis Suarez in a poll for the Eredivisie's star turn. With his stock continuing to rise, PSV saw fit to splash £6million on him in the close season.

A school of thought says PSV should not be spending heavily at a time of economic crisis – Eindhoven city council recently agreed to give the club a £43m loan – but the club's determination to bring the young Belgian on board is understandable. Last season he was quite irresistible, scoring 14 goals, providing 24 assists and regularly putting on a one-man display of mesmerising dribbling, free-kick prowess and a predilection for the unexpected, especially his clever backheels.
"Trickery has always been a big part of my game," says Mertens, a native of the central Belgian city of Leuven. "I play according to my instincts. On the pitch I've my own way of doing things. I aim to be as lively as I can and go directly for goal every time I get the ball.
"The size of fee PSV paid for me doesn't add any extra pressure. I'm still the same player. I just concentrate on my football. The fact that PSV have spent so much on me shows I'm on the right lines in my development, that for the past few years I've kept up a good standard of performance."

Country: Mertens comes off the bench regularly for Belgium (Getty Images)
His high profile today stands in marked contrast to the gloominess which enveloped his career in its early days. Kicked out of the Anderlecht academy at the age of 14 for being too small, he must have wondered if that was it. However, he stuck at it and, after convalescing at Belgian clubs Gent and Eendracht Aalst, he exploded into life in Apeldoorn, where he reigned supreme with the Dutch club for three wonderful seasons.
Despite being revered in Holland, his opportunities with the Belgium national side have been limited so far. That will surely be rectified soon.

I'm no expert but to me the lume looks a little sloppy on the tip of the hour hand and the second hand. Quality control issue or a relume with "patina" lume? I think the lume is original but it's just an observation.
It's not on auction and I can't make an offer, but I could always get in touch with the seller, offer him/her something decent and maybe refer to your posts.
^ This is exactly what I'd do. But maybe don't reference this thread. If I were the seller, I wouldn't enjoy reading a bunch of little snot-nosed yuppy watch collector's opinions on MY price.
Thanks, Mario! Had a look at it already yesterday and noticed the discoloration, the kind we're more used to see, but also sort of "sand-colored", I guess, but IMO nowhere near as sand colored as the two specimens I link to. Anyway, the version you link to, as well as the specimen that Neruda provided a link to, weren't made specifically for Timepeace. I suspect that Timepeace may have ordered their version with the "sand lume", the English case back, the English oscillating weight, etc., and the sand lume would make sense considering the theme of the watch "Operation Desert Shield".
Anyway, if I have the time I'll try to do some more research and see what I can come up with. I wouldn't be super surprised if I'm right about this, but I say that with humbleness.
Well actually, in this case, I just think it would be very interesting to learn if the color of the lume was actually a part of the specification/order from Timepeace, and even so, I'm not sure I want it. I'm definitely not prepared to spend $450 for it. Yes, I know, our highly respected and appreciated experts have already passed their verdict (white!), which I really appreciate, but for some reason, I just can't put this to rest. Anyway, should I come up with anything decisive I'll let you know.
My last word on this: soviet lume, despite its notorious lack of performance, was applied to their dive watches so that the hands and hour marks would glow in the dark, evidently, an important design consideration for any dive watch. This would imply the brightest white color would have been used, in my opinion.
The even degradation of the lume to a "sand" color on that Desert Storm model is a good sign that the watch has its original lume, nothing else.

Exactly. You can always make an offer by sending it to the seller at "contact seller". I dare say I've bought as many this way as with the BIN function, when it exists. Nothing to lose.
I would wait a few weeks (it's gonna be there a long time at that price) when the seller may be a bit more receptive. Let the market tell him his price is too high.
VWatchie, mroatman and elsoldemayo like this.
I wrote a message to the seller to ask about the lume of this Timepeace Operation Desert Shield watch and he confirmed that the original lume color was "sand-colored" (a word I came up with). It's certainly not hard evidence, but I take it as pretty strong circumstantial evidence and find it very interesting. This is what he wrote and these are the images he attached. I hope you find it interesting too, and I hope you don't find my "obsession" too annoying!
"I can say "sand-colored" lume is a peculiarity of Series I Self-Winding Vostok Amphibian Desert Shield Export Watches. I attach photos of wristwatches of this Series I with various serial numbers used and stored in different environment."
"I can say "sand-colored" lume is a peculiarity of Series I Self-Winding Vostok Amphibian Desert Shield Export Watches. I attach photos of wristwatches of this Series I with various serial numbers used and stored in different[I] environment."
Wonderful bezel and I really like those lugs! What's the movement? Send me a PM if you'd like to sell it!
About the lume; As I understand it the "sand-colored" lume is only a feature of the "Series I Self-Winding Vostok Amphibian Desert Shield Export Watches" made for the American company Timepeace Russian Watches Inc.by Vostok. You won't, among other things, find the Vostok logo on those dials. The lume on your watch looks like faded white, but that's me, and I'm aware that people can perceive color very differently.
EDIT: For anyone interested, here's a very interesting article about Timepeace Russian Watches Inc.

Any thoughts on the authenticity/history of this Poljot (thanks to your help in the translation topic) model, I didn't manage to find a similar model with this particular logo?

Judge Colleen McMahon (NY)
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? New York's Split Southern District Court
April 5, 2017 May 17, 2012 by Rob Cashman (Author, Owner of the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC)
It is very easy to put up a banner claiming "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED — NO MORE BITTORRENT CASES IN SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK," but reality is not that simple. A judge can give a ruling, and it can be a darned good ruling which is binding on all other judges in that federal district (similarly, that ruling is persuasive for judges in other federal districts). One such case is the case written up by Sophisticated Jane Doe in her "The Domino Effect: Trolls are not welcome in the Southern District of New York anymore" article posted just moments ago. I do not need to re-write this up — she did a wonderful job, and there is no reason to duplicate her efforts.
That being said, this case does merit some discussion. The name of the case is Digital Sins, Inc., v. John Does 1-245 (Case No. 1:11-cv-08170, or 11 Civ. 8170) [misspelled], filed in the U.S. District Court for the SOUTHERN DISTRICT of New York (remember our blog post about forum shopping there?). I am happy to share that the case is now SEVERED AND DISMISSED. Obviously, congratulations to the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC clients who were part of that case. This ruling is WONDERFUL for you.
As far as I am concerned, this ruling was the order I was waiting for back in March when I reported that all of copyright troll Mike Meier's New York cases were consolidated by Judge Forrest. Similarly, you'll see what I thought would happen in my "New York Judge consolidates and freezes SMALLER BITTORRENT CASES for plaintiff attorney" article earlier that month. Well in short, my opinion with hindsight was that all this was a dud, and Judge Forrest merely consolidated the cases to rein in Mike Meier so that she can control him and his cases so that they all had uniform outcomes. This was obviously a step in the right direction, but it did not dispose of the cases in their entirety. Perhaps because Judge Forrest had experience with copyright cases in the past, she thought she should be the one to preside over them. However, in my opinion, she just made them more orderly; she didn't rule on the underlying issues plaguing each of Mike Meier's cases.
Here comes Judge Colleen McMahon of the same Southern District as Judge Forrest, and she (like Judge Forrest) has my respect. In her ruling on Tuesday, she took the opportunity to take a John Doe ruling, and turn it into NEW LAW FOR NEW YORK COURTS (obviously I am referring to the federal courts). What impressed me was that not only was she aware of Judge Forrest's activities, she changed the law by dissenting with them.
"Judges Forrest and Nathan, have decided to allow these actions to go forward on a theory that permissive joinder was proper. I most respectfully disagree with their conclusion." (p.4)
Further, she ruled that if Mike Meier wanted to sue these 244 defendants, he may do so in separate lawsuits, AND HE MUST PAY THE $350 FILING FEE FOR EACH LAWSUIT (that's $85,400 in filing fees that Digital Sin, Inc. will have to pay if they want to go after the dismissed defendants).
"They are dismissed because the plaintiff has not paid the filing fee that is statutorily required to bring these 244 separate lawsuits." (p.4)
What made this case blog worthy (and you'll notice, I rarely post about the run-of-the-mill dismissals that happen every day in various jurisdictions when their rulings teach nothing new) was that Judge McMahon suggested TWO STRATEGIES to John Doe Defendants that she believes would successfully refute the plaintiff attorney's geolocation evidence as proof that the court has personal jurisdiction over the accused IP addresses.
Firstly, she suggests that the John Doe defendants not living in the jurisdictional confines of the court simply file a SWORN DECLARATION that they live somewhere else.
"John Doe 148 could have overcome [the geolocation data evidence provided by the plaintiff] by averring [e.g., in a sworn declaration] that he was a citizen and resident of some state other than New York — even New Jersey or Connecticut, portions of which are located within the geographic area that is covered by the geolocation data." (emphasis added, p.5)
Secondly, she said that since plaintiff attorneys are getting the personal jurisdiction right (e.g., filing lawsuits against Californians in California, against Texans in Texas, etc.), defendants could start asserting the "WRONG VENUE" argument (essentially saying, "Court, yes, I live in New York. But I was sued in Long Island and I live in Buffalo. It would be an extreme hardship for me to travel down to Long Island every time I need to show up for a hearing there to defend my case."). The actual verbiage suggested by the Court is that "…plaintiff has failed to plead facts rom which a reasonable trier of fact could conclude that this Court has personal jurisdiction over this John Doe, or that venue is properly laid in this district." (emphasis added).
Next, this ruling is VERY EXCITING because it puts handcuffs on Mike Meier should he wish to file against any of the severed and dismissed defendants in a follow-up case. Those rules are:
1) When an ISP complies with a subpoena request, it may not share the telephone number or e-mail address of the subscriber with the plaintiff attorney.
2) Assuming the ISP does not file a motion to quash (it obviously may AND SHOULD do so on behalf of its subscribers [my opinion]), the ISP shall share the subscriber's information WITH THE COURT ONLY (not directly to the plaintiff as is usually done), and the court will disclose the information to the plaintiff attorney. (I'm not sure the benefit of this — they still get the contact information of the John Doe Defendants this way).
3) The plaintiff may use the information disclosed ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING THAT CASE (so the plaintiff may no longer use the threat of future litigation if they do not immediately settle to extort a settlement. This was a tactic used by many plaintiff attorneys (most notoriously, Prenda Law Inc. who admitted that they dismissed the case so that they can go after the John Doe Defendants [extorting settlements] without the court's involvement).
Lastly — and her timing is quite interesting as we just finished writing about forum shopping in bittorrent cases — she warned Mike Meier not to engage in "judge shopping."
"Lest plaintiff's counsel think he can simply put cases against the severed and dismissed John Doe defendants into the wheel for assignment to yet another judge, I remind him of Local Civil Rule 1.6(a) [which requires the plaintiff attorney to bring the existence of potentially related cases to the attention of the Court]."
For your reading pleasure, I have pasted a copy of the order below. For my own opinion on the topics discussed by the judge, I have pasted them below the judge's order.
[scribd id=93798958 key=key-2fufis4rlcf1fuhmb3kz mode=list]
MY OPINION: There is more here that I did not write about, namely that the judge believes that all the bittorrent cases currently being held by Judge Forrest and Judge Nathan should be assigned over to her so that she can dispose of them once and for all. She also went into other judge's rulings which duplicate content in other articles on the blog. However, once again, we have another wonderful ruling. However, moving forward, perhaps I am a bit jaded, but I don't foresee Judge Forrest or Judge Nathan tomorrow assigning over all their bittorrent cases to this judge. There is now a disagreement in the New York courts (as there are in many jurisdictions) as to how to handle these cases. I would love to jump up and down, wave a banner and declare "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED — NO MORE BITTORRENT CASES IN SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK," but quite frankly this is not reality.
More likely than not, plaintiff attorneys such as Mike Meier, Jason Kotzker, and any other copyright troll who wants to file in New York will continue to file there. As you can see in my forum shopping article (which should more properly be called "Judge Shopping"), an attorney can in ONE DAY file 9 SEPARATE CASES and receive 7 SEPARATE JUDGES, as was the case with Kotzker's recent filings.
In addition, while the SWORN DECLARATION argument and the VENUE arguments are both easy solutions to disprove the plaintiff's prima facie case for personal jurisdiction (meaning, the bare minimum a court will require in order to accept the fact that it has personal jurisdiction over the defendants in the case), a John Doe Defendant hoping to hide his identity from the plaintiff attorney and quash a subpoena should not be excited by these solutions. 1) For the sworn declaration, they'll necessarily be giving up their true location (they cannot lie that they live in Connecticut when they live in California), and we all know that Mike Meier is only ONE local attorney to a larger IP monetization group ("The Copyright Enforcement Group") which has other attorneys in other states, and who continues to recruit new hungry would-be copyright trolls. So even if they succeed in getting their case dismissed here, guess who will be filing against them in their home state's federal court? 2) A John Doe Defendant who asserts the "correct state, wrong venue" argue just made a big blunder — he admitted that personal jurisdiction is proper in that state. Rules for venue are based on a number of factors, NOT ONLY WHERE THE DEFENDANT LIVES. Similarly, no doubt the plaintiff will respond in a wrongful venue argument in a motion to quash that "John Doe filed this motion to quash asserting wrongful venue (which by the way is not a valid ground to quash a subpoena; jurisdiction IS), but he is not a party to the action [yet] and thus he has no standing to file this motion to quash." Remember this? Lastly and realistically, the proper time a defendant CAN AND SHOULD use this wrongful venue argument is in his ANSWER (which means he was already NAMED as a defendant in the case). Too late. There are better issues to kill a case at this point than complaining that the court is too much of a drive.
[DISCLAIMER: I've given many opinions here which is not to be taken as legal advice. Each defendant has different needs and different circumstances, and for this reason, the legal advice I give for one of my clients may not be appropriate (or may even be harmful) to another client who's circumstances are different. Also, obviously no attorney-client relationship is formed until you sign a retainer and become a client.]

UPDATE 3: More of Mike Meier bittorrent cases consolidated.
September 1, 2020 March 12, 2012 by Rob Cashman (Author, Owner of the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC)
All of Mike Meier's Bittorrent cases consolidated by New York Federal Judge Forrest so that she can adjudicate them together.
*** UPDATE (3/13, 11:45am CST): I might need to backpedal a bit here. I received word from an attorney who had ears in yesterday's hearing that Judge Forrest is not going to bust these cases as I thought she would. The reason for the consolidations is to treat them as one larger case so that the rulings in each of the cases will be consistent throughout his many cases. I am editing yesterday's blog posts with cross-outs (example) and underlines (example) so you can see where I am changing the tone of the blog post from overly optimistic to slightly somber. I will obviously post about the judge's order [UPDATE 3/14: HERE – see comments below for commentary] once it becomes available. ***
*** UPDATE (3/12): As we initially discussed last week, *new cases* have been handed over to Judge Forrest so that she can adjudicate the smaller bittorrent cases together. I have added them to the list below. They are not yet listed as part of the "consolidated" case list (in Case No. 1:11-cv-09705), but if you look at the case dockets for each case, the notations that Judge Forrest is now handling them should tip you off that these cases too are now in trouble are now under her scrutiny. ***
New Cases Now Handled By Judge Forrest:
Combat Zone Corp. v. Does 1-63 (Case No. 1:11-cv-09688)
Digital Sin, Inc. v. Does 1 – 179 (Case No. 1:11-cv-08172)
Media Products, Inc. v. Does 1-55 (Case No. 1:11-cv-09550)
Media Products, Inc. v. Does 1-142 (Case No. 1:12-cv-01099)
Next Phase Distribution, Inc. v. Does 1-138 (Case No. 1:11-cv-09706)
Patrick Collins, Inc. v. Does 1-115 (Case No. 1:11-cv-09705)
SBO Pictures, Inc. v. Does 1-92 (Case No. 1:11-cv-07999)
SBO Pictures, Inc. v. Does 1-154 (Case No. 1:12-cv-01169)
Third Degree Films, Inc. v. Does 1-216 (Case No. 1:11-cv-09618)
Zero Tolerance Entertainment, Inc. v. Does 1-56 (Case No. 1:11-cv-09703)
This is obviously relatively good news for the roughly 1,200+ John Doe Defendants who can now breathe a bit more easily knowing that their plaintiff attorney's cases are in trouble because 1) we now know that the judge is VERY aware of the MANY cases pending against the many Doe Defendants, and 2) rulings across the board will now be consistent — you will no longer have one judge letting one bittorrent case move forward, and another judge dismissing his bittorrent case for lack of joinder or improper jurisdiction. You can read about the judge's order regarding the original consolidated cases in our "New York Judge consolidates and freezes SMALLER BITTORRENT CASES for plaintiff attorney" article. No doubt similar orders will in time be written for these additional cases.
On a related note, Judge Forrest is not the only New York District Judge who has figured out what is going on with these copyright infringement ("copyright troll") cases.
Judge Colleen McMahon (no doubt these judges talk to each other about their cases) has issued an order in two cases (so far; response due 3/30) demanding that Mike Meier tell the court why his cases should not be dismissed due to the inherent joinder issues in his cases (e.g., how bittorrent users can be sued together under the theory that they committed the "same crime at the same time" theory [when according to the plaintiff's complaint, the bittorrent users committed the illegal act of downloading and/or seeding the copyrighted materials sometimes weeks if not months apart]).
What I enjoyed most in the order was that Judge McMahon accused Mike Meier of [essentially] CHEATING the court out of the $350 fees for each of the 138 defendants (e.g., theft from the court of $47,950) who, according to the judge's opinion should have been sued in SEPARATE cases. In addition, she states that the "misjoinder has resulted in an undercounting of the number of cases filed in this court and a concomitant distortion of the size of the court's docket." To make matters laughable, in response to a request from Mike Meier regarding one of the cases, she wrote, "[u]ntil I have decided whether joinder of these 139 defendants is proper-which I very much doubt-there will be no discovery. Motion denied. Get to work on responding to any order to show cause."
Cases involved:
Patrick Collins, Inc., d/b/a Elegant Angel v. John Does 1-139 (Case No. 1:12-cv-01098)
I don't know about you, but when a judge accuses you of stealing $47,950 from the court, wouldn't you worry that your cases won't win? I expect to see more of these in the coming days and weeks with his other cases. More significantly, I'd be surprised if I saw any more filings from Mike Meier in the Southern District of New York. The last thing a copyright troll wants is a judge as an enemy who aggressively goes after his cases.
