State Judges Order Inmates Released From Jail
Posted by Neil Farrell | Apr 23, 2020 | News | 0
As if the coronavirus pandemic hadn't cause enough upset in the world, now a California panel of judges wants to issue "get out of jail free" passes to thousands of jail inmates statewide, potentially effecting about 50 here in San Luis Obispo County.
According to a news release from the SLO County Sheriff's Office, "The California Judicial Council has issued an order to reduce jail populations to prevent the spread of coronavirus among inmate populations statewide. The Judicial Council's order affects all of California's 58 counties, including San Luis Obispo County."
The CJC voted April 5, to "cut cash bail amounts to zero dollars for those awaiting trial for most misdemeanors and felonies that are not legally defined as violent." That rule was scheduled to go into effect on Monday, April 13.
Local law enforcement officials are none too happy about it.
"Although the Sheriff's Office is obligated to enforce this new rule, it strongly disagrees with that decision," SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said. "I believe this rule has the potential to reduce the safety and security of not only our local communities and neighborhoods but all across the state."
The Sheriff estimated that approximately 50 inmates now awaiting trial could be released from the County Jail under this new rule. But they're non-violent offenders, right?
"Even though the Judicial Council stipulated these would be for non-violent felonies and misdemeanors," reads the Sheriff's news release, "there are some notable exceptions, which could constitute a threat to our communities."
"This new zero bail rule is dangerous for our community," District Attorney Dan Dow said, "This order while well intended, has the practical effect of allowing criminals to victimize our communities with impunity. It robs our law enforcement of the ability to arrest and hold people who have committed the following crimes: child abuse and endangerment, trafficking of heroin and methamphetamine to our youth, physical or financial abuse of an elder adult, abuse of a dependent adult, human trafficking for labor, fraud and embezzlement of millions of dollars, obstructing or delaying a public health emergency worker, auto-theft, burglary, and even the jail inmates who are receiving critical mental health treatment to name a few."
The D.A. said the order is bad policy. "This emergency order is bad policy and bad news for the law abiding people in our communities," he said, "who depend on our law enforcement and court system for upholding the rule of law and public safety because it will certainly lead to more crime."
He continued, "Even career criminals are eligible for zero bail and released into our community because there are no exceptions for inmates who are on parole or for career criminals with prior convictions for violent, serious and sex offenses."
Some of these people are themselves a potential virus to society. "Several are now in custody after being indicted by a grand jury for participating in major drug trafficking operations," D.A. Dow said, "selling heroin and methamphetamine outside of the Paso Robles High School. Releasing these individuals on zero bail makes the entire community less safe, at a time when we have enough to worry about without more criminal offenders on the streets in our neighborhoods."
D.A. Dow is going to fight the order. "My office is working vigorously to oppose release on zero bail for inmates we believe are dangerous to release," he said. "We are working closely with the Sheriff's Office to identify which inmates may be eligible for release."
They are taking into account an inmate's health and mental health, too.
"The Sheriff's Office medical and mental health team is working hard to ensure that anyone released who is receiving treatment in the jail will have a plan to continue treatment in the community," D.A. Dow said, "but this is a significant challenge and a risk for the released individuals as well as for the community."
The Federal, State, County and Local responses to the Coronavirus Pandemic have been far-reaching, including orders to shelter-at-home, to close all non-essential businesses, to close parks, beaches, campgrounds and day use hiking trails.
With few people out and about, the Sheriff has upped their patrols. "We want our citizens to see our patrol units out in their neighborhoods," the Sheriff said, "to reassure them we are doing everything possible to maintain the safety of their communities and to discourage criminal activity, especially in our business community.
"The increase in patrol deputies represents a 75-percent increase over normal patrol deployment since the shelter-at-home order went into effect." The Department has the manpower to further increase the number of Deputies on patrol if the need arises.
As of April 15, the SLO County Jail had not had a single case of COVID-19 among the inmate populations or jail custody staff.
"Aggressive safety measures have been put into place to protect the health and welfare of the inmates in the County Jail as well as the jail custody staff," Sheriff Parkinson said.
The Sheriff has a plan and resources at the ready for the inevitable day when the first case hits. The Sheriff even thinks the inmates might be safer from the virus in jail.
"It is our belief," he said, "that some of the inmates who will be released will be at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 in public than they would have been had they remained in custody at the County Jail." Some are homeless and can't shelter at home.
But the decision to release them was made at the State level and is out of the control of County Officials, who are required to comply with the orders of the Judicial Council.
D.A. Dow thinks the order is ironic. "The ultimate irony," he said, "is in the area of enforcement of the stay at home order. A violation of this crime is only a misdemeanor that is not exempted from zero bail. A COVID-19 positive individual, whether homeless or not, can willfully disobey these orders repeatedly and merely be released on zero bail and given a citation to appear in Court months later.
"Of course, we want to encourage and foster voluntary compliance and a feeling of cooperation amongst the community as we meet this common threat. However, we must be prepared with enforcement mechanisms to protect everyone in the event some do not voluntarily comply."
"The Sheriff's Office," the news release said, "continues to work with the District Attorney's Office to stay true to our mission to provide service, security and safety to the community in a manner that is protective of victims' rights and also fair to the accused individuals."

Caroline Crawford (born July 19, 1949) is an American rhythm and blues, pop, soul, and disco singer; and actress, who recorded as Carolyn Crawford for Motown Records in the early-mid 1960s, and for other labels later in her career.

Career
In 1963, at the age of about 14, she won a talent contest held by Detroit radio station WCHB, the prize for which was a contract with Motown Records. She recorded three singles for the label, an unsuccessful first release of "Forget About Me" (Motown 1050) being followed by "My Smile Is Just a Frown (Turned Upside Down)" (Motown 1064), written by Smokey Robinson. The record reached # 39 on the Billboard rhythm and blues chart. She also sang backup vocals for some of the Motown artists. Her final record for Motown, "When Someone's Good To You" (Motown 1070), released in December 1964, failed to chart and her contract was not renewed, although the record later became a favorite among British soul fans.

A few years later, she joined a girl group, Hodges, James, Smith and Crawford, put together in 1972 by William "Mickey" Stevenson. She released two singles with them, "Nobody" and "Let's Pick Up The Pieces", before leaving the group (which went on to achieve some success as Hodges, James and Smith). She then joined the group Chapter 8, but left them in 1976 to start a solo career; she was replaced in the group by Anita Baker.

In the late 1970s, and through the early 1980s, she was featured vocalist on several of Hamilton Bohannon's singles and six of his albums, including his biggest US single hit "Let's Start the Dance". She also signed a solo contract with Mercury Records (using the spelling Caroline), and released a single "Coming On Strong" which reached # 66 on the R&B chart at the start of 1979. In addition, she released two albums, My Name Is Caroline (1978) and Nice And Soulful (1979), both produced by Bohannon.

In 1989, (using the spelling Carolyn) she joined Ian Levine's Motorcity project and recorded the album Heartaches, including the single "Timeless" which later became a favourite on the UK Northern soul circuit. She was reported to be still performing (as Caroline Crawford) in Detroit clubs in 2007.

Crawford has also worked as an actress in recent years. She voiced the character of Mrs. Lovat in the 2009 stop-motion film Coraline, and appeared in the TV series Leverage.

Several of her earlier recordings, including recordings for Motown which went unreleased at the time, have been included on later compilation albums.

Her best known recording,"My Smile Is Just a Frown (Turned Upside Down)", is featured in the UK-Irish drama-documentary Dreams of a Life, released in December 2011.

Money is constantly evolving, having gone from gold to paper money, to electronic payments, and now to cryptocurrencies.
- the newly built exchange medium is a trade-off. sacrificing some safety and stability for better commercial use.
Gold is the most stable of the exchange mediums because it's scarcity and forge-resistance are ensured by its chemical properties. On the other hand, paper money only works if there is a banking system in place. Banking systems rely on politics, control, policy, and is overall significantly less stable than the chemical stability of gold. On the other hand, paper money is a better trade medium than gold, boosting trade and business and picking up the slack of the banking system.
The next evolutionary step, Cryptocurrencies, replaces bank staff with a computer algorithm that runs in a transparent open network. Cryptocurrencies are global, fast, and resistant to banking fraud.
This is not the perfect one fits all solution, however. Currently there is steep learning curve for any new entrant into the ecosystem, with a lot of backend complexity to be mastered if you want to use Crypto. If you can't handle it — then you have to use intermediaries that work just like small banks, except with much with worse security and no insurance policies. Crypto is still a trade-off, but it is a trade-off in favor of another boost in trade and business development.
Moving on… Money can be considered an abstract view of how society values what you are currently doing, and what objects and services are worth.
Stocks are another step forward with that logic, providing an abstract view about how well society expects your enterprise to perform. Stocks have evolved into security tokens roughly the same way money evolved into cryptocurrencies. Albeit, with much more drama in the process.
Are there other types of socially important information that follow this pattern? What about obligations? Obligations are like inverse-stocks. These are pledges you take, or duties you receive one way or the other. Failing to do them in a proper way can result in penalties.
In tribal societies for our ancestors to receive duties, you simply had to say them out loud in front of your tribe or perform an appropriate ceremony. After that, your mates had new expectations about you. Living up to those expectations results in status gain and failure resulted in a status loss. In a small tribe, everyone knows you and everyone remembers your successes and failures as though it is written on a ledger.
The drawback of these obligation management systems is that they are not scalable. When society grows into cities, we can no longer know everyone and remember every pledge they have ever taken. Therefore it is way harder to enforce such deals and obligations.
To effectively scale, documents became the solution. A piece of paper (parchment, papyrus, clay table, birch bark) with a written obligation and a signature instantly received a privileged status. A signature and a seal meant things got really serious.
Obligation management in larger societies deals with trust. Bureaucracies have worked with trust-sensitive information for centuries. Computers are new and offer many advantages, but we don't trust them enough to take full advantage just yet.
We have had centralized networks of computers essentially acting as faster bureaucracies for sometime, but that's not the ideal solution. Decentralized networks are a real step forward here. Blockchain is a new technology designed to deal with trust. The irony is we don't trust anything new that isn't time-tested.
The reasons behind the resistance to change are not as obvious as they seem. Obligations matter because there is a system enforcing them. In ancient times it was a tribes opinion and knowledge of your obligations. After the formation of larger societies we still had that primal honour, but on top of that, there was an army of your neighbour, feudal system, or state that could get you in trouble for acting fraudulently. Nowadays we have police, courts, rating agencies, and customer reviews.
All enforcement of the obligations is still in the hands of state owned courts and legal system. This is something blockchain cannot handle on its own before cheap mass produced combat drones become a thing. Right now, any innovator in this field is on a hard quest of persuading state-owned legal system to cooperate with new and suspicious "Blockchain Technology" that promises to take away jobs and cut the prices of the legal services. Because, as you know, this is the kind of thing governments love to do.
Long story short — obligations enforcement is outside of our scope. So we develop some software that makes obligations tracking easy as never before. We develop a decentralized system that allows everyone who participates in it to ensure that everyone is playing by the same rules. These rules can be changed only if majority supports the change. This is the end goal of a CiL network project.
This is the quest that SilentNotary is striving to accomplish right now, and we hope you share our vision of the future, minus the combat drones of course. As one US president (or his speechwriters) once put it "We choose to do this and other things not because it is easy but because it is hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too".

Shigatse (གཞིས་ཀ་རྩེ) is the second largest city in Tibet . It is located 265kms / 166 miles southwest of the capital city of Lhasa in the traditional Tibetan province of Tsang. It has a population of around 100,000. Shigatse is the name of a city, county and prefecture. Shigatse prefecture has 18 counties and borders Nepal on the south. Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on earth, is found in Shigatse prefecture. Shigatse sits at 3900m / 12,795 feet. Shigatse, like many regions of Tibet, has under went major modernization over the past few decades. Though the train line in Tibet does not extend to Shigatse currently, it will in the future. The Chinese government has plans to extend the Tibetan Plateau railway to Shigatse within the next few years. The only way to reach Shigatse is by road. In 2004 it took nearly 8 hours to drive from Lhasa to Shigatse. Now it can be done in about 5 1/2 hours (there are speed restrictions along this route). The road between the two main cities in Tibet is one of the best in the country.
The main attraction in Shigatse is Tashilhunpo Monastery. This is one of the most important Gelug sect monasteries in Tibet and is home of the Panchen Rinpoche (Lama). Even though there is really only one attraction to see in Shigatse, it is worth going to. The kora (circular path) around the monastery is great to take and offers some excellent views of the city. There are a lot of hiking options in the mountains surrounding Shigatse. There are several good hotels to stay at in Shigatse and plenty of decent restaurants to choose from. Because of the strict travel rules within the Tibet Autonomous Prefecture (TAR), the only way to legally go to Shigatse is through a travel agency. Traveling by public bus from Lhasa to Shigatse is not allowed for foreigners, though some people are able to purchase tickets illegally (this has not been possible since March '08).
Shigatse is a city full of history and culture. Most people who go to Shigatse only stay for a day or two as part of a week long trip to Mt. Everest and the Nepal border. If you like hiking, there is enough to keep you busy for several days, otherwise two full days is enough to see everything.
Getting to the summit of Mt. Everest was the goal of many mountain climbers during the first half of the 20th century. Many died in their attempt to climb the highest mountain in the world. Everest, known as Chomolangma (or Qomolangma) in Tibetan, was first scaled by the team of Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. Since then, the mountain has been summited nearly 4000 times. The top of Everest sits at 8848m / 29,028 feet. The base camp of Everest on the Tibet side sits at 5200m / 17,060 feet. The picture above is taken from Rongbuk monastery at 5000m.
I have been fortunate enough to go to Base Camp many times over the past few years. While the coldest time of year to go to Everest is the winter, it also is the best time to get clear pictures. I have been at Base Camp in the winter when it has been -25C (-40C with wind chill) and I have been there when it has been -5C. If the sun is shining, it will probably feel much warmer than what it actually is. The sun at 5200m is quite intense. Sunburns can happen very quickly if you aren't prepared.
Most people who travel to Everest take 5 to 7 days to make the journey from Lhasa to Everest and back. The most popular stops along the way are at Yamdrok Lake, Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya Monastery before arriving at Base Camp. This is one of the most popular routes that travelers take in Tibet. While this route is on the well worn tourist path, it is a great one to take. The views of the Himalaya are stunning. There is no public transportation going to Mt. Everest. All travel to the area must be arranged through a travel agency. During the high season, the furthest you can go to base camp is to the "tent city", which is 3kms before base camp. From "tent city" you need to take a bus the remaining distance. The bus costs Y25 per person for the round trip ride. Another option is to hike the remaining distance. During the low season, the bus stops running so your vehicle can drive all the way to base camp.
What is there to say about the Himalaya's? They are amazing. Stunning. Breath taking. No one who sees them is dissappointed. With Mt. Everest topping out at 8848m, it is the highest peak in the Himalaya's and in the world. From the Pang La mountain pass (above) on the Tibet side of the Himalaya, you can see not only Everest, but Lhotse (8516m /27,940 feet), Makalu (8463m / 27,766 feet) and Cho Oyu (8201m / 26,906 feet). On a clear day, there are few places on earth more beautiful.
The best time to see the Himalaya's are in the winter. The winter months usually have a lot of sunny days. Summer is also a good time to go, though the weather is not as clear and sunny as in the winter. Winter is also a good time to go because there are less tourists at places like base camp and Tingri which have good views of the mountains.
The Himalaya's are a dream destination for many people. If you are a solo traveler or are looking for people in Lhasa to help share the costs of a trip to see the Himalaya's, it would be best to check all the reader boards at the popular guesthouses and hotels to find others to go with you. If you are traveling with a group of 3 or more, we can arrange train travel from Xining to Lhasa and then arrange a trip to the Himalaya's. A typical journey from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp going through places like Yamdrok Lake, Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya Monastery takes about 7 days.

Tashilhunpo monastery, located in Shigatse, is another of the six great Gelukpa monasteries of Tibet. This monastery was founded in 1447 by Gyalwa Gendun Drup who was the nephew and a disciple of Tsongkhapa. Gyalwa Gendun Drup went on to become the first Dalai Lama. Later, the fourth Panchen Lama Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen, added major additions to the monastery.
Tashilhunpo Monastery is famous throughout Tibet for being the home of the Panchen Lama. The Panchen Lama is the second highest ranking lama in Tibet after the Dalai Lama. The Panchen Lama is said to be the incarnation of Amitabha Buddha. Since the fifth Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobsang, the person occupying the seat of Dalai Lama has been involved in the final selection process of the new Panchen Lama. In turn, the person occupying the seat of Panchen Lama has been involved in the selection process of the new Dalai Lama.
The most famous Panchen Lama was the tenth, Chokyi Gyaltsen. The tenth Panchen Lama was born in 1938 in a small village in northeast Amdo province, Tibet (modern day Qinghai). He was officially recognized as the tenth Panchen Lama in June 1949. In 1968 he was sent to prison for criticizing the conditions of Tibet and in particular the conditions of the Tibetans of his home province of Amdo. In 1977 he was released from prison, but remained under house arrest in Beijing until 1982. After being released he was considered to be politically rehabilitated. He was soon given the office of Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress. Even though he was given this position, he continued to speak out and represent the Tibetan people. He died under mysterious circumstances in January 1989 shortly after arriving again in Shigatse.
Tashilhunpo is located in Shigatse, 265km / 166 miles west of the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. Shigatse is the second largest city in Tibet and is located on the Friendship Highway...a highway connecting Lhasa with Kathmandu, Nepal. In the 1950's Tashilhunpo had a monk population of around 4000. Today it is a fraction of that. Tashilhunpo was closed during the Cutural Revolution, but was hardly damaged compared to most monasteries across Tibet. It was reopened in the early 1980's and has since become a major tourist attraction among foreign and Chinese tourists.
Ganden monastery is another of the six great Gelukpa sect monasteries in Tibet. Ganden is located 47km / 29 miles east of the Tibetan capital city of Lhasa. Ganden was founded by Tsongkhapa, who was the Tibetan buddhism reformer who started the Gelukpa sect. Tsongkhapa had his disciples build the monastery and it was finished in 1409. Ganden was the first of many Gelukpa monasteries to be built in Tibet. Tsongkhapa spent most of his last years at the monastery. He died at Ganden in 1419 and his remains are still kept there today.
Contrary to popular belief, the Dalai Lama is not the head of the Gelukpa sect. The abbot (commonly called a "tripa" which means throne holder in Tibetan) of Ganden monastery has always been the leader of the sect. The tripa is not a reincarnation like the Dalai Lama. Instead he is appointed. Each tripa of Ganden monastery serves a 7 year term. The Ganden Tripa traditionally has been one of the highest political and religious leaders in Tibet. The current Ganden Tripa is Khensur Lungri Namgyel who was born in Kham (east Tibet) in 1927. He is the 101st Ganden Tripa.
Before 1950, Ganden had around 5000 monks. Today it has around 500 monks. During the Cultural Revolution the monastery was completely destroyed. It was rebuilt in the early 1980's. Ganden is well known for its kora. The kora (pilgrim trail around the monastery) gives you an awesome view of the Lhasa river valley from 4500m / 14,760 feet. During Tibetan New Year, thousands of pilgrims from across Tibet go to Ganden to walk the kora.
Getting to Ganden is easy. Buses leave from in front of the Barkhor in Lhasa every morning from 6:30am to 7:30am. A roundtrip ticket costs Y20 ($2.50USD). The trip takes about 70 minutes. The entrance ticket for the monastery costs Y45 ($5.75). Buses return to Lhasa at around 1pm. The kora around the monastery takes about an hour.
Mt. Everest, known as Chomolangma in Tibetan, is the highest mountain on earth at 8848m (29,023ft). Everest has base camps on both the Tibet and Nepal sides. The Tibet side base camp sits at 5200m (17,058ft). During the winter months, the views of Everest and the Himalaya are at their best as the skies are usually bright and clear. Rongbhu Monastery (pictured above) is the highest monastery in the world at 5000m. Everest base camp sits 8km to the south and dominates the background of Rongbhu.
Getting to Everest is easy from Lhasa. There are numerous travel agencies in Lhasa that can arrange a 5 to 8 day trip to Everest. If you are traveling with a group of friends it is possible to take a 7 day trip to Everest and back to Lhasa for as little as $120 per person. Most of the way to Everest is along the Friendship Highway...a highway that connects Lhasa with Kathmandu, Nepal. About 240km (150 miles) before the Nepal border you turn off the Friendship Highway and head south to base camp. The turnoff to Everest is 6km past the small town of Shegar. Many people going to Everest straight from Lhasa choose to stay the night here and then head up to the mountain first thing the next morning. From the turnoff, it is 99km to base camp. On the way to base camp you cross over Pang La, a mountain pass sitting at 5120m (16,795ft). From Pang La (pictured below) you get an amazing view of the Himalaya. There are 14 mountains in the world above 8000m (26,242ft) and you can see 4 of them from this pass (Everest, Makalu, Lhotse and Cho Oyu). Coming down from Pang La you reach the small village of Tashi Dzom. There is a small guesthouse there that we have stayed at a few times called the Chomolangma Benpa Guesthouse. It is a comfortable guesthouse run by a friendly Tibetan family, but can be very cold in the winter.
At Everest Base Camp, there is a small hill that is covered in prayer flags. On top of the hill there is a sign that says you are at Chomolangma Base Camp at an elevation of 5200m. There are plenty of places to do some hiking, but you will need additional permits to go to any of the advanced camps. Hiking at 5200m (17,058ft) takes a lot out of you so only those who are fully acclimatized and used to high altitude hiking should attempt to go any higher.There is a memorial area at base camp for those who have died trying to climb it. Most of the memorials are small piles of rocks with a small headstone with the persons name written on it. Many of the memorials are adorned with Tibetan prayer flags.
If you are interested in going to Mt. Everest, please send an email to thelandofsnows@gmail.com.

Q: How to write generic properties object in typescript I have an enum of accepted Providers, a type Provider and an interface with a providers options. I would like in my ComponentProps that the options providers should be an object with one of the providersEnum as the key and the provider type as value (but the number of object properties may vary).
export enum Providers{
  facebook="facebook",
  google="google"
}

export type Provider = {
  id:string;
  name:string;
}

export interface ComponentProps{
  providers: XXX?
}

export const Component = ({providers}: ComponentProps) => {
  return <>
{providers?.facebook && "Has Facebook"} {providers?.google && "Has Google"}
</>;
}

// This should be a valid prop :
<Component providers={{
  facebook: {
    id: 'test',
    name: 'test'
  }
}}/>

What should I put in the XXX? in the ComponentProps ?

A: You can use Record or create a type.
Record example:
export interface ComponentProps {
  providers: Record<Providers, Provider>;
}

Custom type (record is just a shorthand for writing your own type):
type ProviderMap = { [key in Providers]: Provider }

export interface ComponentProps {
  providers: ProviderMap
}

Of course you can also set your Record to a named type separately as well, like this:
type ProviderMap = Record<Providers, Provider>

Achieving Fundraising Goals With Board Members
By Duke Haddad, Ed.D.
Years ago, I played high school football. We were not the largest or fastest team. In some ways, we may have not been the most talented, but I guarantee we were the most prepared. Each player knew their role and was focused on achieving team success. We practiced hard, were graded on individual achievement and had clear performance expectations. The fact that my West Virginia High School football team won three straight state championships is a testament to the collective effort and ability to achieve goals.
What does this have to do with fundraising? Like football, nonprofits stare at a fiscal year financial scoreboard every week. One way nonprofits can enhance fundraising programs is to have a nonprofit board that is individually and collectively dedicated to fundraising results. How do you get your board members to embrace fundraising as a major component of their board responsibility?
The author of this article published in Philanthropy Daily states that in her work with nonprofit boards, most have limped along with much room for improvement. To avoid limping along from your board members, you need to set clear board expectations from the outset. She outlines 10 basic things that your board members should be expected to do:
Provide fiduciary oversight.
Provide ongoing strategic counsel and advice.
Make your organization their philanthropic priority.
Connect you to givers and others who can be helpful to your cause.
Attend and prepare for board meetings.
Serve on and occasionally lead board committees.
Not micromanage or undermine the CEO.
Attend major organizational events.
Provide occasional support for other fundraising efforts.
Gail Perry notes that the following are reasonable activities every board member can and should do: make a proud, personal annual gift; understand your organization's fundraising program and strategies; help thank donors; communicate with donors; help identify prospective donors and open doors with them; help cultivate donors; ask for contributions; support all fundraising activities and the fundraising team; ensure that fundraising has adequate resources and support, plus invite friends; and show up at organizational events.
Aplos provides ways board members can get into fundraising:
Thank-you calls. Schedule a phone-a-thon or just call donors to thank them.

The Fundraising Authority shows a football goal post on the cover of his blog. The author asks if your nonprofit struggles to meet its annual fundraising goals. He has worked with many nonprofits over time and has noticed five attributes that successful fundraising nonprofits always have in common.
These attributes include setting firm deadlines and responsibilities for every task to be done and assign responsibility for each task to one or more people. They focus on individual donors because that is where most of the money is located. They track donors through the fundraising funnel, which is a defined series of steps leading to an ask and close. They know when and where to make an ask. They build fundraising networks starting with their boards. They focused on personal contacts and ask for referrals to donor's friends and colleagues. They tell a great story and cast a huge vision, inviting donors to invest in their story and future.
Like a football team, board members for any nonprofit represent a team dedicated to advancing a nonprofit through the acquisition of time, talent and treasure. Every nonprofit board member before agreeing to serve on a board must agree to their role in the fundraising process. This may be identifying a prospect, rating and screening prospects, opening doors, telling a story or asking for a gift. They represent the organization in a unique and powerful way.
If these board members accept their fundraising role with focus and acceptance, I cannot guarantee a state championship but can predict a powerful collective experience with the generation of increased financial results for your nonprofit.

Went for high-tea today w the BFF-till-death-do-us-part, Cheryl Chengchengchengcheng! She came to fetch me after work around 3pm and we decided to go to My Liberica Specialty Coffee to try their coffee cos I heard good stuff about it.
Once you step into the cafe, there is a strong aroma of coffee. Everything is made of wood and with the orange lighting, it gives off a relaxing atmosphere.
They use their own coffee machines to make siphoned and drip-coffee. My Liberica also has Luwak coffee (the coffee made w wild civets' excretion) for RM50 and Irish coffee which has liquor for RM20.
We wanted to order the Swiss roll and Mille crepe cake but they only had chocolate cake and tiramisu today. :( Really wanted to try the Swiss roll cos I heard its good. Oh wells. Next time! So we just ordered drinks and was supposed to go somewhere else for cake after that.
Her cold Caramel Machiatto Latte for RM 9.80. Pretty design, sweet and not too strong.

Israeli Authorities Holds Responsibility for Death of Prisoner in Their Custody
Short Link : http://mezan.org/en/post/23573 Ref# 79/2019
On Sunday, 8 September 2019, the prisoner Bassam Al Sayeh, 47, resident of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, was pronounced dead at Assaf Harofeh Medical Center after his of his health deteriorated following claimed medical negligence.
Al Sayeh was arrested on 28 October 2015 from the courtroom, while he was present at the trial of his wife, Mona Al Sayeh. According to Addameer Association for Prisoner Support and Human Rights, he was subjected to torture and ill-treatment while in detention, even though he was a cancer patient.
He spent most of the detention period in Al Ramleh prison, and his health condition worsened in the last two months as he suffered heart failure and acute infection of lungs. Israeli authorities did not respond to appeals calling for his release and first transferred him to Al Ramleh clinic and then to Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, where he died on Sunday.
Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons experience practices and policies that violate the rights guaranteed under International law, including medical negligence, depravation of lawyers' visits for 21 days, and ill-treatment during arrest and the interrogation.
Al Mezan's documentation indicates that this is the third Palestinian to die in Israeli custody in 2019. the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs pointed out that the number of rose to 221 since 1967, Of them 75 were allegedly 'liquidated after arrest', 72 died as a result of torture, 67 due to medical negligence, and seven were shot directly by prisons' guards.
Al Mezan condemns the violation of prisoners' rights. Persons deprived of liberty must be treated with dignity at all times in accordance with the relevant international law standards. Medical negligence has been a serious concern and must be stopped. Al Mezan expresses deep concern about the life and wellbeing of prisoners who suffer health conditions while in Israeli custody and calls on international community to insist on the respect of international human rights law and IHL relevant to the treatment of prisoners and detainees.
Al Mezan calls for an independent international investigation to investigate the death of Al Sayeh.
Al Mezan calls on the United Nations and the international community to intervene to halt grave violations against Palestinian prisoners and detainees and ensure that the Israeli authorities comply with their legal obligations to respect their rights.

Val Martin, M., C. L. Heald, J. -F. Lamarque, S. Tilmes, L. Emmons, and B. A. Schichtel, 2015: How emissions, climate, and land use change will impact mid-century air quality over the United States: A focus on effects at national parks. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 15, 2805-2823, doi:10.5194/acp-15-2805-2015.
We use a global coupled chemistry-climate-land model (CESM) to assess the integrated effect of climate, emissions and land use changes on annual surface O₃ and PM2.5 in the United States with a focus on national parks (NPs) and wilderness areas, using the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 projections. We show that, when stringent domestic emission controls are applied, air quality is predicted to improve across the US, except surface O₃ over the western and central US under RCP8.5 conditions, where rising background ozone counteracts domestic emission reductions. Under the RCP4.5 scenario, surface O₃ is substantially reduced (about 5 ppb), with daily maximum 8 h averages below the primary US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of 75 ppb (and even 65 ppb) in all the NPs. PM2.5 is significantly reduced in both scenarios (4 μg m⁻³; ~50%), with levels below the annual US EPA NAAQS of 12 μg m⁻³ across all the NPs; visibility is also improved (10-15 dv; >75 km in visibility range), although some western US parks with Class I status (40-74 % of total sites in the US) are still above the 2050 planned target level to reach the goal of natural visibility conditions by 2064. We estimate that climate-driven increases in fire activity may dominate summertime PM2.5 over the western US, potentially offsetting the large PM2.5 reductions from domestic emission controls, and keeping visibility at present-day levels in many parks. Our study indicates that anthropogenic emission patterns will be important for air quality in 2050. However, climate and land use changes alone may lead to a substantial increase in surface O₃ (2-3 ppb) with important consequences for O₃ air quality and ecosystem degradation at the US NPs. Our study illustrates the need to consider the effects of changes in climate, vegetation, and fires in future air quality management and planning and emission policy making.

Piers Morgan opens the floor for a feisty debate on climate change
On the heels of a devastating typhoon which ravaged the Philippines, on Monday evening "Piers Morgan Live" asked Roy Spencer and Mark Hertsgaard to debate the impact that climate change has had in a series of recent natural disasters.
"The earth is a little warmer right now," said Spencer, a climatologist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. "We're not exactly sure whether it's 100 percent due to mankind, or 50 percent due to mankind, 50 percent due to nature and by chance."
Joining the program from California, Hertsgaard showed clear disagreement:
"Dr. Spencer, that is not true, sir. That is not true. You are misstating the facts," insisted the author and journalist. "To say that we don't know? Listen to what the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] just said in its report: 'That humankinds' activities are now responsible for most of this.' Frankly, I don't know why, Dr. Spencer, I believe that you don't even agree that climate change is man made, last time I checked. If you've revised your position I'd love to hear about it. To listen to you talk about climate change, that man made climate change you reject that 99 ... so you stand against the 97 percent of scientists who say this?"
Spencer firmly stood his ground:
"Mark, did you know I'm one of the 97 percent you're talking about? That 97 percent statistic included people who believe that some portion of climate change is man made. And I do believe some portion of it is."
Hertsgard then accused Spencer of not having done his due diligence:
"Do you deny that you stand in opposition to the overwhelming scientific consensus on this? If so, you need to read more scientific papers."
With his professional credibility being called into question, the climatologist fired back:
"I got a feeling I've read more than you have, Mark."
Watch the clip for more of Morgan's feisty interview with Spencer and Hertsgaard, and for the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.
Maureen Terese
You are not required to give "equal time" to talking heads with "theories" that have been thoroughly disproved. You are simply allowing the climate change deniers a platform they have long ago lost the privilege of having. I thought better of you to see through the "noise".
Maureen, so climate change is man made and that is a fact?? ....and this Typhoon was a direct result of man made Global warming?? Then Let's see a real debate... Not some blowhard journalist from Berkeley talking over an actual scientist. He has about as much credibility on the subject as George Clooney.....which is NONE!
Carey Freeman
Yeah Maureen, why are you so opposed to debate, especially when (as you say) the facts are clearly on your side? I mean, you are actually advocating that CNN not even entertain a debate on this topic? Tell me, since when did liberals become so damn draconian?

That most of the current warming is due to CO2 from fossil fuels - that is a fact. Scientific journals are full of papers investigating other possible causes and finding none. And does a geologist debate a young earther? Does a biologist debate a creationist? No. There are not "2 sides to every issue."

I would like to more information on a modeling of the entire system which includes a systemic approach to all factors: atmosphere, geothermal pulsations from the earth's radioactive core, crustal geothermal gradients, mid Atlantic volcanism, pacific "ring of fire" subductionism, .... If any factor is at fault other then the atmospheric theory, we may be wishing we had produced more CH4 and CO2 if the orbit turns asunder and we head into an ice age. Life proliferates in warm temperatures, it dies in cold!

Mr. Morgan lost all credibility by prviding a platform for Roy Spencer to spread his misinformation on the critical issue of climate change. It truly was "journalistic malpractice," but i doubt that Mr. Morgan is capable of recognizing this. While we all bear responsibility for the world we are leaving to our children, it is people like Spencer and Morgan who are disproportionately guilty.
Philip Abraham
There are those whose nefarious motives for climate change denial are obvious. Roy Spencer seems humble and honest and legitimate. Mark Hertzgaard came across as hot-headed and wholly partisan and untrustworthy. Glad I was already a confirmed progressive who understands that climate change is real and that humankind is responsible. Mark Hertzgaard was nearly as irritating as Piers used to be, before Piers learned how to stop interrupting his interlocuter, to allow the other side to have a say, too. If I hadn't known Mark was on my side, I would have thought he belonged on Fox where all sorts of outrageous claims are persistantly published. How about inviting a reputable spokesperson to explain climate change and humankind's role. Instead, you're more interested in hosting silliness for ratings under the guise of a serious discussion about a real and urgent problem. In my humble and unsolicited opinion, somebody owes Roy Spencer an apology.
W Sitze
The original set of atmospheric scientists at White Sands Missile Range were probably, and still are, foremost in their field of atmospheric and climate studies. They are all retired now, and, as they are not involved in any grants that may influence their past and present opinions, their statements may be regarded as objective. While they are retired from Civil Service, they are definitely not retired from their studies and research. To a man, they assert that climate change is not caused by human activity, but by the Sun and its cycles. That position is bolstered by an apparently little know, and certainly ignored, fact that other planets in the Solar System have undergone heating in the same proportion and during the same time frame as Earth has.
Of course 97% of active scientist support the notion that humankind is at fault. Their grants, pay, livelihood, and position in the pecking order demand they support that position. Anyone who disagrees is shouted down and denigrated, and then are subject to losing his or her grant. Most of them need to have the courage to indulge in real research for a change instead of either doing circular paper research, or depending on computer models of dubious quality.
Now that we have apparently reached the Solar maximum, and have started down the other side of this cycle, what are all these characters going to say when we start cooling, as we apparently already are.
BTW, the climatic conditions over the past several years are an unpleasant reminder of the middle 1950's and early 1960's. One Philippine executive even mentioned, contrary to sensationalist news reporting, that typhoon Haiyan was the worst since the 1960's.
I strongly recommend an earnest study of the book "Unstoppable Global Warming every 1500 Years" by S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery. It is well written and very well cited. I also recommend "Climategate" by Brian Sussman. If you are an honest journalist Mr. Spencer, you will read these books, and stop relying on the paid nodding heads you so adroitly and consistently interview.
Sitze mistakenly refers to Spencer as the journalist. The journalist is Hertsgaard.
wstz6
Philip, I stand corrected. Thank you, My apologies to Dr. Spencer.
Here we go. The world's scientists are all lying; they're all in a giant worldwide conspiracy. Do you realize how nutty that is? And Singer and Avery are a very tiny minority, part of the denialist industry. (If you want a good read, "Merchants oif Doubt" is it - the tactics and the backers here are similar to those who claimed "smoking does not cause cancer.")
L. Walsh
It's not bad enough you are using this tragedy to advance your climate change agenda, but then you bring in George Cluny to buttress the argument! It's ludicrous. What are his credentials? Does being a movie star make him an expert or do you think people will ACCEPT him as an expert because he is a movie star?. I wanted to hear both sides but the discussion became surreal the moment you added him to the mix. Let's see, you have George and a journalist bashing the only SCIENTIST on the panel. It's stacked 3 to 1 yet we still aren't allowed to hear a word the only EXPERT says because Mr. Bigmouth talks over him the entire time. If 97% of scientists agree that "humankind is responsible", why didn't you have ONE of them on the show? Did you think George and an arrogant, biased journalist would be more credible than a scientist? Talk about "journalistic malpractice". Get a real expert, would ya?
Indeed, after reading Walsh above, I think you need to include scientists (plural). Scientists debate scientists. Don't short either side with a hothead journalist and don't short the truth (according to me) by giving climate change-deniers the only scientist on the show. Where's even ONE single scientist to represent the aforementioned 97 percent of scientists who believe that climate change is real and that humankind is responsible? Give the truth an honorable and legitimate spokesperson, please. (I am addressing CNN and the public in general, not only Walsh, above.)
He wasn't denying man has a role, just how much of a factor man is in climate change. What is so outrageous about that? Maybe I was asleep at the time, but I don't think they've invented instrumentation yet that can definitively determine the answer to that question.
Mark Tabbert
Sad to see such a false debate still happening this late in the game. The Journalist Pier attacked in his close is backed up by every scientific organization in the world as well as every branch of the Federal government with the exception of Congress. You can always find a scientist who will tall you smoking is not harmful to human health and a scientist that will prescribe prayer instead of antibiotics.
You, like the journalist, seem to be having your own little debate in your own little head. Instead of addressing what Stewart actually SAID, you react to what you (I guess) want him to say so you can launch into your pre-conceived diatribe. Again, you sound like Michelle Bachman talking about abortion all wide-eyed, crazy and. . . well, just weird. Tell me, genius, is there 100% consensus among the "97%" about what percentage of climate change is man made? The answer is a resounding NO because there is no way to definitively know the answer to that question at this point. Sell your dogma to your fellow lemmings. Meanwhile, thinking people will continue to follow the research and debate and formulate our opinions (which may change as a result) on observable facts.
I doubt any serious scientist would back up anything that idiot said, just a bunch of generalities (which, BTW, give most scientists the chills) and hyperbole. Dude is a fool and did more harm to his cause than he probably (being an idiot) realizes.
Philip, I stand corrected. Thank you! My apologies to Dr. Spencer.

Proof of climate changes effect 1000 years ago – Viking Ship of type Skeid stranded in Oak Island, Nova Scotia, Canada
The site is in Nova Scotia, Oak Island and is the location of so called money pit, which I believe is
A vertically stranded Viking Ship of type Skeid, Stranded there on Oak Island for the last 1000 years.
My scientific explanation could bring out a site to be preserved, the site where Vikings landed in Nova Scotia on their Skeid Long Ship. My explanation details the effect of climate changes which were witnessed by this longship and thus its destiny to be in the position that it is now.
Here is a brief explanation what I think it is.
The Viking Long Ship along with 70-80 people on board travelled to Oak Island and the Long Ship went deep in the area where it now because of Medieval Warm Period which occurred during 950 to 1200 AD( according to the research of scientists ) and there was water present there where the ship landed in shallow waters and then the weight of the water produced sinkholes and caverns due to which one side of the Long Ship fell down and tilted to a vertical angle and got stranded and then pushed up due to the movement of Ice bergs formed in Northern Atlantic due to the increase in ocean temperatures by 1-2 degrees Celsius. Further during the Little Ice age between 1200-1600 AD the water and land mass around the vertical stranded ship froze along with the movement of soft sand. The excavators find some sort of tunnels feeding the pit , which I believe are actually the Sail ropes and timber attached to the Mast and being pulled down in that position and for the last 1000 years have built soft of cavities around them and thus the water seeps in to the pit itself. oakislandmoneypitisverticalstrandedvikingship net
Rather than calling people deniers why not simply look back into history and ask yourself is there a trend? Most of the time there isn't and there isn't with cyclones. A few years back sceptics were told that the weather is not the same as the climate. What changed?

Excellent job Mr. Morgan. I've seen a few segments on your show where you've sided with the alarmist camp and it seriously concerned me. It must be understood that the consensus is non-existent and the "science" supporting catastrophic global warming is sketchy at best. I thank you for being fair and balanced (well, this time anyways).
Terry, if you think there's no consensus, look at scientific journals. The consensus among real practicing climate scientists is close to 100%.
Mark Hertsgaard really came across as a jerk. Clearly he doesn't know much about the scientific method: science cannot prove anything to be true, it can only falsify hypothesis. Everyone could believe the world is flat, but that won't make it so. Science is not done by consensus, and consensus is not science. Theories become generally accepted as true only because they have not been proven false for a long time.
In terms of AGW, people should research for themselves: is the recent warming unusual? I don't think so. Look at the UK's Met Temperature data at http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/HadCRUT4.png . The IPCC says mankind is responsible for most of the warming from 1950 until today, but looking at the temperature data, you see that all the warming occurred between 1975 and 2000. The amount of warming and the duration looks very similar to the warming that occurred from 1910 to 1940, and the IPCC says that was natural. If nature could do it from 1910 to 1940 then it could do it again from 1975 to 2000.
Tony, consensus is EVIDENCE that there is a huge amount of evidence; otherwise, why would there be consensus among the world's scientists? And it's totally wrong to say all the warming was over by 2000. The 2000s are the hottest decade on record. 9 of the 10 hottest years occurred after 2000. The 2 hottest years on record are 2010 and 2005.

What Is A CITT Section 18 Reference?
By Cyndee Todgham Cherniak on October 24, 2016
Posted in Antidumping, Canada's Federal Government, Cross-border trade, Legal Developments, Trade Remedies
On October 17, 2016, Canada's Department of Finance announced that the Government of Canada had asked the Canadian International Trade Tribunal ("CITT") to conduct an inquiry (actually, it is a Reference) in respect of the antidumping case involving gypsum board from the United States and imported into Western Canada in order to hear from a wide range of stakeholders and the public, and to report its findings in early January, so that the Government can determine the best path forward. The Reference is contained in Order of Council 2016-0879 (October 13, 2016), which states, in part:
"Whereas the circumstances merit timely consideration of whether the imposition of duties is in Canada's economic, trade and commercial interest;
Therefore, His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Finance, pursuant to section 18 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act,
(a) refers to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal the matter of whether the imposition of provisional duties or duties, applicable to gypsum board imported from the United States for markets in Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon and the Northwest Territories, is contrary to Canada's economic, trade or commercial interests, and specifically whether such an imposition has or would have the effect of substantially reducing competition in those markets or causing significant harm to consumers of those goods or to businesses who use them; and
(b) directs that the Tribunal report to the Governor in Council on those matters no later than January 4, 2017 and submit to the Governor in Council, within 15 days after that date, its findings and recommendations on any remedy that could be taken."
I have been asked many times this week: "What is a section 18 Reference"?
A Section 18 Reference is a rarely used legal proceeding conducted by the CITT whereby the Governor-in-Council (the Federal Cabinet) may ask the CITT to review and report on any matter in relation to the economic, trade or commercial interests of Canada with respect to any goods or services or any class thereof. Section 18 is in the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act and not the Special Import Measures Act. This means that a Reference is separate from and not directly related to Canada's trade remedies regime. The end product is a Report (containing a summary of the evidence and economic analysis) to be submitted by the CITT to the Governor-in-Council.
The last Reference occurred 19 years ago when the CITT was asked to look into a number of issues concerning Canada's dairy industry. The Reference decisions are:
ADDITIONAL SCENARIOS FOR CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL BUTTEROIL BLEND ANALYSIS, Reference No. GC-97-001
PROFILE OF THE CANADIAN DAIRY INDUSTRY, Reference No. GC-97-001
DATA TABULATION, Reference No. GC-97-001
STUDY ON THE POTENTIAL MARKET FOR DAIRY PRODUCT BLENDS OUTSIDE THE COVERAGE OF CANADA'S TARIFF-RATE QUOTAS, Reference No. GC-97-001
AN INQUIRY INTO THE IMPORTATION OF DAIRY PRODUCT BLENDS OUTSIDE THE COVERAGE OF CANADA'S TARIFF-RATE QUOTAS, Reference No. GC-97-001
THE IMPACT OF IMPORTS OF BUTTEROIL/SUGAR BLENDS ON THE CANADIAN DAIRY INDUSTRY – AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS USING THE FARM MODEL, Reference No. GC-97-001
POSSIBLE REACTIONS OF DAIRY PRODUCERS TO IMPORTS OF BUTTEROIL/SUGAR BLENDS: FOUR SCENARIOS, Reference No. GC-97-001
ASSESSMENT OF THE SIMULATION STUDY USING THE FARM MODEL PREPARED BY AGRICULTURE AND AGRI-FOOD CANADA, Reference No. GC-97-001
IMPORT REGIMES FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS, Reference No. GC-97-001
THE INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC LEGAL FRAMEWORK, Reference No. GC-97-001
Before the cases prior to the Dairy References are also agriculture related:
AN INQUIRY INTO THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE CANADIAN CATTLE AND BEEF INDUSTRIES, Reference No. GC-92-001
AN INQUIRY INTO THE ALLOCATION OF IMPORT QUOTAS, Reference No. GC-91-001
AN INQUIRY INTO THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE CANADIAN FRESH AND PROCESSED FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INDUSTRY, Reference No. GC-90-001
There has never been a Reference relating to an ongoing antidumping proceeding. Normally, the CITT makes a decision regarding material injury and threat of material injury. If the CITT determines that the domestic industry has suffered, is suffering or is threatened with material injury, then the CITT may commence a public interest inquiry pursuant to subsection 45(1) of the Special Import Measures Act. This means that we are in uncharted territory.
What we do know from prior References, the CITT may issued orders to receive testimony of relevant persons:
IMPORTATION OF DAIRY PRODUCT BLENDS OUTSIDE THE COVERAGE OF CANADA'S TARIFF-RATE QUOTAS, Reference No.: GC-97-001
It might be that the Reference will be similar to the recommendation phase of a Safeguard Inquiry. In a Safeguard Inquiry, the CITT considers whether a surge in imports has caused serious injury to the domestic industry. If the answer is "Yes", the Tribunal makes recommendations to the Minister of International Trade concerning the level of duties to be imposed. In that sense, this Gypsum Board Reference may be a cross between a Public Interest Inquiry and a Safeguard Inquiry.

Pittsburgh Therapist: Mike Elliot - Therapist 15217.
Send A Message To Mike.
As an undergrad at the University of Pittsburgh, I briefly considered becoming a counselor. However, at that time college was quite a struggle. I had ADHD and poor study skills. Graduate school did not seem achievable. I put that dream out of my head and graduated with a degree in computer science.
The ADHD contributed to poor self-esteem and issues with anxiety. I was relatively successful in my career as a software engineer. As I was given more and more responsibility I would feel more and more anxious and eat more and more food to push those feelings away.
At the age of 40 I woke up one day at 280 pounds. I am 5' 6" with a small frame so that clearly was not a good weight for me. My back and feet hurt from the excess load. My cholesterol and blood pressure were beginning to enter into the danger zones. I was headed for an early death and decided I could not do it any more.
With the help of therapy I learned to manage the negative aspects of ADHD. I also began to see that ADHD also had strengths that I could harness to become even more successful. I studied nutrition and developed a plan of eating for myself that was healthy and started to shed the excess weight. Therapy helped me to learn to process my feelings; I no longer needed to eat to escape my feelings. By the age of 43, I had lost 150 pounds and have never gained that weight back.
As people saw my success with the weight loss they would seek my help. In mentoring them I rediscovered that helping people felt better than writing software. It reignited the dream I had of becoming a counselor 25 years earlier. So after much soul searching I decided to go to graduate school to become a counselor.
In 2010 I started the Professional Counseling program at Carlow University. This time college was a very different experience. With my new skills for managing my ADHD, feelings, and life in general, graduate school was relatively easy. While at Carlow I did a practicum at Gateway Rehab. This gave me a good introduction to the field of addictions. I also did an internship at Persad Center. This gave me a firm foundation in outpatient therapy as well as working with LGBT issues. After graduation I worked at TCV Community Services (formerly Turtle Creek Valley MH/MR) as an outpatient counselor. There I was exposed to vast array of mental health issues, which filled out my skill set even more. I have also continued to hone my skill set with post-graduate training. The two most significant were the Advanced Certificate Practicum at the Albert Ellis Institute and the Gestalt Training Program at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland.
In 2016 I opened my own office as Elliot Counseling. I look forward to working with you.


Need to appeal a permanent restraining order in NJ? You've come to the right place.
The first and most important thing to do when facing a permanent restraining order is to hire an experienced attorney to fight the case in court so that a final restraining order (FRO) is not issued against you. However, if a final (permanent) restraining order has been issued against you in court after a hearing, the case is not over. You have 45 days to appeal the judge's decision. There must be grounds for your appeal, meaning there has to be some argument to be made that a mistake caused the judge to issue the wrong decision.
If you or a loved one needs assistance with a restraining order in NJ, the Tormey Law Firm LLC can help. Our attorneys have literally handled hundreds of restraining order cases in almost every county in the State of NJ including in Lodi, Lyndhurst, Teaneck, and East Rutherford.

If a Judge issued a Final Restraining Order (FRO) against you, you have 45 days to appeal. You must file an appeal alleging that there were errors made during the trial with regards to facts, evidence, the law, etc. in order to have a basis for your appeal.
The judge got the facts wrong: The judge made mistakes in their findings and in their decision that were not what the parties testified to during the trial.
The judge got the law wrong: The judge found harassment but misinterpreted the harassment statute and issued a finding that is inconsistent with domestic violence law in NJ. This could obviously apply to any of the predicate acts of domestic violence including harassment, stalking, simple assault, etc.
The judge did not rule properly on objections: The judge considered evidence that should have not been considered and was objected to in court at trial.
The judge's finding was not complete: The judge's opinion and finding did not detail the grounds for the restraining order including the predicate act, prior history of domestic violence, and that the restraining order was necessary to protect the safety and well being of the plaintiff.
These are just some examples of the potential grounds to appeal the issuance of a permanent (final) restraining order in NJ. It is imperative that you order the trial transcripts and an experienced attorney reviews them with you to determine what your grounds for appeal may be.
If a final (permanent) restraining order was issued against you in court, the case is not over. It is important to explore your appellate rights with an experienced restraining order defense lawyer. Contact our offices anytime for a free initial consultation at (908)-336-5008.

Latvia's diabetes numbers up, lower than in West
Anna Pridanova
RIGA - The number of diabetes patients in Latvia increased 7.5 percent compared to the last year figures.
Health officials reported 1,805 new cases this year.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that arises when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use insulin to enable tissues to absorb glucose from the blood.
The increase of diabetes cases is a common trend worldwide, said R. Valdis Pirags, president of the Latvian Endocrinology Association. "And in Latvia the number of diabetes patients is relatively small," he said. "One of the reasons in Latvia the diabetes rates are lower {than in Western countries} is that the life span is shorter here. Age is one of the diabetes risk factors."
According to the International Diabetes Association statistics, 18.4 percent of all U.S. residents aged 65 or older have diabetes, while 8.2 percent of those aged 20 or older have the disease.
"In Europe it ranges from 3 percent to 5 percent of population, while in Latvia only 1 percent of all people have diabetes," said Pirags.
Other causes of diabetes include an unhealthy life style and obesity.
Seventy percent of people with adult-onset diabetes are obese. It also strongly related to genetics.
Another precondition is the sedentary life style, says Pirags and adds that regular exercise for at least a half hour three times a week can prevent the development of the disease or help treat it.
People who have diabetes are prescribed a special diet, usually have to lose some weight and also increase the physical training load.
According to the World Health Organization, only 65 percent of all diabetes cases are diagnosed.
The most common signs of diabetes are excessive thirst, frequent urination, tiredness and unexplained weight loss.
WHO believes if current trends continue, the number of persons with diabetes will more than double from 140 million to 300 million people in the next 25 years.
If not treated, diabetes can cause heart and kidney disease, blindness and amputation of foot. It can also cause the progressive destruction of small blood vessels leading to such complications as infections and gangrene of the limbs.
"But very important to know is that the worst complications can be prevented," said Pirags.
The disease requires special and expensive treatment. In Latvia diabetes patients receive insulin and medication free from the state. But the glucometers, the instrument that tests sugar contamination in the blood, are in short supply.
But the cost of one glucose test strip, the electrode indicator, is around 0.2 lats ($0.34). Those who have stable sugar level - once a day or every second day, those unstable - up to four times a day, said Pirags.
"But many can not afford that," said Ina Grinvalde of the Diabetes Association. "We see so many desperate people coming to us. It is very expensive to live with the diabetes here (in Latvia)."

CMDB in the NOC: Is it time yet?
By Dennis Drogseth
Network World | PT
The rise of CMDB System adoptions is striking. Data from EMA research shows that out of 75 respondents in healthcare and financial services with $1 billion in revenue or more, every one of them plans to implement a CMDB System.
The rise of Configuration Management Database (CMDB) System adoptions is striking. Data from EMA research just completed in February shows that out of 75 respondents in healthcare and financial services with $1 billion in revenue or more, every one of them plans to implement a CMDB System (while 28% had "no plans" in 2006).
Thirty-seven percent had already implemented, at some level, a CMDB System, compared to a mere 8% in 2006, and 30% are "in the process of implementing," compared with about 14% in 2006. (Other options for planning to implement fill out the rest of the percentages, for those of you who like to count to 100.)
On the other hand, as is probably evident to many of you, network operations are not normally the driver here. Most CMDB System deployments seem to come out of the data center or most generally "operations overall," most often with an eye to the network, but with the network group behaving, well, like the Archie Bunkers in the mix. (Archie Bunkers = hold outs for a past era when things were presumably "simpler.")
Out of about 30 focal interviews, including some EMA consulting engagements, I have identified exactly six examples with very strong network content and only four where network operations were actually driving the initiative. Again, that isn't to say that there weren't a good number of deployments where network operations were included at some level, but there were only six where, say, the network was paramount.
There are no doubt multiple reasons for this, and I'm planning some serious research in May to tackle this and other issues relating to the changing role of network operations. This should bring some new insights to the question posed above – with much more quantitative data. But between past research, current dialogs, and those times when I'm pulled into dialogs to support our consulting (versus analyst) efforts, I'm comfortable putting at least a stake in the ground now.
One of the obvious issues is that very few people - including many other analysts, I'm told - understand what a CMDB System is. "CMDB System" is EMA's term that parallels ITILv3's term "Configuration Management System" or CMS.
This comes from EMA's notion that the future of management in general is "federated data stores to support cooperative analytic engines." It is a multi-brand vision and it is very much both "real-time" and "process-control-desired-state." In other words, it is analogous to combining the NOC war room with a configuration and change control system designed to support consistent reviews and approvals rather than cowboy-like actions on long weekends. This reflexive system, designed to automate insights into desired states with discovered states and support for process and best practice requirements, is what CMDBs should be all about -- at least long-term.
And in terms of vision, at least, this has been true in virtually all the accounts where I've been involved. But to do this you don't need a single, hulking, monster database nourished by a strange team in lab coats building Frankenstein's monster. What you need is a plurality of sources and technologies combined pragmatically to achieve pragmatically achievable ends.
Unfortunately, the industry being what it is, there is the invariable push to pigeonhole what a CMDB is, cordon off a market around it, create a precious list of criteria that all CMDBs "must have," and pretty soon we're back to Frankenstein lurking in the basement. Successful CMDB System deployments are not about "building CMDBs." They're about leveraging an enabling set of technologies inalterably linked in purpose and design to support whatever it is they're enabling – from service impact management to asset management to change and configuration management, to IT governance and risk, etc.
So what does this have to do with the NOC? I would postulate the following:
• Network Operations feels left out because most vendor offerings remain weak in support for network infrastructure and many are delinquent in integrating network discovery and topology – which was arguably the CMDB System of old -- where a "common pane of glass" was achieved across all infrastructure interdependencies.
• Partly because of the above, Network Operations can rightfully claim that "we have our own tools" for doing this – since the Data Center is driving most of the efforts so far with less network-friendly tools.
• Network Operations has long suffered from being blamed for problems to do with the applications and data center devices, and this doesn't tend to make its professionals warm up to a more transparent, shared universe of responsibility (a big mistake but one that's understandable).
• Most of the world still doesn't grasp the "real-time" component of CMDB Systems, which makes it easy for Network Operations to claim that its "war room" should remain on separate turf.
In my next column (in two weeks), I'll share some of the testimonies from specific network-centric CMDB deployments in terms of drivers, deployments and other perspectives, as well as a few comments from other deployments that may shed some light on why the NOC tends to get left behind. In the meantime, I would very much like to hear from you – all your comments and perspective are welcome – so please e-mail me.
Oh, and as for the question posed in today's headline, the answer is "yes" (if you haven't guessed already). But this doesn't mean going off and building your own Frankenstein. It means starting to think how you can leverage the tools you've got, and put pressure on your vendor suppliers, to participate in a better fabric for sharing data across domains - or, in other words, participating in a CMDB System.

Expert: Theater shooter still thinks killing increases worth
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — The Colorado theater shooter still believes killing people increases his self-worth, three years after he opened fire at a crowded midnight movie premiere, a nationally known schizophrenia expert testified Tuesday.
Holmes continues to suffer from the bizarre delusions that preoccupied him before he killed 12 people and wounded 70, including that murder would raise his "human capital," said Dr. Raquel Gur, head of neuropsychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania medical school.
Gur also has evaluated Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and Jared Loughner, who killed six people and wounded 13 more near Tucson, Arizona, in 2011.
Gur said Holmes showed signs of schizophrenia, and she is expected to say she found he was legally insane during the July 20, 2012, attack.
Her testimony is crucial as defense attorneys argue that during the shooting, Holmes was in the grips of a psychotic episode that rendered him unable to tell right from wrong — the threshold for an insanity verdict in Colorado. Prosecutors say he was sane and are seeking the death penalty.
Gur interviewed Holmes for 28 hours over two years and studied the spiral notebook where he scrawled elaborate plans for the massacre. She said he is philosophical and highly intelligent, similar to Kaczynski.
"The higher functioning people, namely those who have greater intellectual capacity, are the ones who come up with the most bizarre delusions," she said.
But an MRI done earlier this year showed parts of Holmes' brain that affect emotional response were smaller in volume than those of a healthy brain, possibly affecting his ability to make rational decisions, Gur said. Throughout her conversations with Holmes, he seemed flat and emotionless, a possible indicator of schizophrenia.
"His face was restricted no matter what he spoke about," she said. It was worse during their first interaction in December 2012, after Holmes returned to jail from a hospital where he was taken after running head-first into walls and falling backward off his bunk.
Of the doctors who examined Holmes for the defense, Gur spent the most time with him and interviewed his parents.
But her testimony will be highly contentious. Prosecutors spent nearly two days tearing apart the testimony of another psychiatrist who said he found Holmes was insane.
Gur's findings also differ from those of two court-appointed doctors who studied Holmes in the months and years after the shooting and found him legally sane at the time of the attack.
At times on Tuesday, Gur's testimony sounded like a college lecture. She often spoke over Defense Attorney Daniel King, who tried to keep her from veering off topic.
