End of season celebrations marred by serious injury!
A Hat-trick from Justin Parker helped Banbury to a 32-19 win vs Witney. However, a double leg break for Matthew Powell before half time was a major blow.
Saturday saw final home games for Sam Stoop and Joe Winpenny who will be hanging up their boots after Thursday's cup final. Thank you for representing Banbury with distinction and class for many years.
Ed Phillips opened the scoring when he kicked a penalty in the opening minutes. Witney penalised for being offside. Banbury 3 Witney 0.
Almost immediately after the restart Banbury extended the lead. Justin Parker intercepted a loose pass from Witney in his own half before sprinting his way over in the clubhouse corner. The conversion attempt went wide, 8-0.
Justin Parker added a second try in the same corner. Ed Berridge peeled off the back of a scrum before drawing the last man and playing in Parker in the corner. Conversion missed, 13-0.
Matthew Powell made a brilliant break for Banbury and as the Witney defence tried to get back onside the Bulls backs switched the ball to the opposite side and Justin Parker completed his hat-trick with another try in front of the clubhouse. The conversion dropped short, 18-0.
Sam Stoop sealed the try bonus point for Banbury when he scored in his final game at Bodicote Park. Tommy Gray made a lovely break before offloading to Sam Stoop. Stoop burst into the 22, stepped inside his opposite man before reaching out for another try in the clubhouse corner. Ed Phillips converted, 25-0.
Ed Berridge added a 5th try for Banbury when he peeled off a scrum before running in untouched under the posts. Ed Phillips converted, 32-0.
Just before half time, In a devastating blow for Banbury, Matthew Powell was forced off with a serious leg injury. Later confirmed to be a double leg break. The club sends its best wishes to Matthew for a speedy recovery.
Witney had a spell of sustained pressure to end the half and eventually James Merriman drove over at the back of a rolling maul. Aaron Lambourne converted, 32-7.
Either Banbury failed to get over the injury to Matthew Powell or a level of complacency crept in as Banbury's second half was well below their usual standards. Callum Godfrey and Matthew Clarke both crossed for Witney with one conversion to leave it 32-19 at full time.
A real game of two halves from Banbury. Unstoppable at times in the first half, below par in the second. Justin Parker was Banbury's Man of the Match, 3 tries in the opening 20 minutes showed how dangerous Parker is with ball in hand. Matthew Powell's horrible injury overshadowing the end of season celebrations. To see any player side-lined for the Cup Final is a real shame and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Finally, a big thank you too all who attended on Saturday. It was fantastic to see so many people at the club, old faces, new faces, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

We are a "debt relief agency" – we help peoplefile for Bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
To pay "best efforts" to creditors so that the credit report looks more favorable.
Basically, a Chapter Thirteen Bankruptcy focuses on submitting a plan to creditors and the court that states how you are going to repay creditors. Then the next step is to try and confirm the plan with the Bankruptcy Court. Remember, you will have to make a plan payment to the Bankruptcy Court for at least three years in most cases.
Before filing, you must also complete a credit counseling course and provide a certificate.
What does Plan Payment include and how is it calculated? Generally, your plan payment is a consolidated payment that contains all debts that we included in the plan ( and not those paid outside of the plan or directly to the creditor). Most tax debts and unpaid attorney fees are priority debts that have to be paid at 100% over the length of your plan. Secured auto payments, house arrearages, and other debts paid through the plan receive 100 % of the secured amount owed plus a 12% interest payment. Unsecured debts are paid what you can afford given your monthly budget and non-exempt assets. The Trustee of your case receives 10% of the total payout ($100 on a $1,000 payout). Generally, all of these amounts add up to your plan payment.
The cost of the average Chapter Thirteen Bankruptcy case is approximately $3,000 plus the filing fee. If you have decided to start a Chapter Thirteen Bankruptcy, the first step is for me to gather further information necessary for filing a complete and accurate Bankruptcy Petition, Schedules and Plan. I usually have you complete one of my forms, which includes a list of all of your creditors, whether or not you intend to repay them. The list of creditors will include the name, address, date incurred, account number and amount owed (including arrearages) to the creditor. I also ask you to provide to me proof of the income as stated on the Statement of Income. Upon completion and review of the petition and plan, it is signed by you and me and I file it with the Bankruptcy Court. Within five to ten working days the Bankruptcy Court sends a Notice of Meeting of Creditors to all parties, including you and me, that are listed on the mailing list portion of the Bankruptcy. Within this time we will have served your plan on all of your creditors, and they will know how you intend to pay them, if at all, through the plan.
I will meet you at the creditor's meeting which is usually nothing to worry about. In most cases, it consists of three or four yes or no questions concerning your assets. I will brief you of the relevant issues right before the hearing.
THE FIRST PAYMENT IS DUE 30 DAYS AFTER YOUR BANKRUPTCY CASE IS FILED AND ALL OTHER PLAN PAYMENTS AFTER THE FIRST ONE ARE DUE MONTHLY ON THE ANNIVERSARY DATE OF THE FILING OF YOUR CASE. YOU MUST CONTINUE TO MAKE THESE PAYMENTS OR YOUR CASE WILL BE DISMISSED AND YOU MAY LOSE ASSETS.
After the first creditor's meeting, I will mail certain documents to your creditors. If they do not object your plan will be confirmed in about 45 days. If they do object, I will call you to discuss with you how we will proceed and confirmation could take several months. Generally, after confirmation you will only have to continue the payments mentioned above to achieve your discharge.
This letter is to provide the "basics" and is not intended to answer all of your questions or handle the particulars of your situation. Please feel free to ask me if you have questions at any time.

How Microsoft Teams Simplifies Microsoft Office 365
Microsoft Office 365 is an incredibly robust collection of tools that enterprises of all sizes can leverage. However, managing Microsoft Office 365 isn't always easy. There are several plans to choose from, dozens of apps and features to learn, and various ways to license the software to consider. Dealing with "a dump truck full of licenses" can be frustrating—no matter how good and helpful the software is.
Microsoft Teams can help organizations simplify their use of Office 365 by providing a suite of useful collaboration tools designed around Microsoft's Office software. In this video, we discuss some of the difficulties of Microsoft Office 365, and how using Teams can help simplify things:
How Teams Simplifies Licensing with Office 365
One of the key issues when dealing with any subscription-based software model is managing your licenses. Because Microsoft Office 365 is delivered on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, that means managing licenses. Normally, your Office 365 license would come from a vendor separate from your collaboration tool—especially if you use software like Slack to communicate between team members.
However, Microsoft Teams comes with access to key Microsoft Office 365 apps such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The paid tiers of Teams also come with Office 365 features like OneDrive file storing and sharing, SharePoint Online, Yammer, Planner, Outlook, and others.
So, instead of having to license separately for different productivity and collaboration tool software, you can instead deal with a single vendor with a single payment.
How Teams Encourages More Efficient Collaboration
In the video, Microsoft Office 365 is likened to a "giant web of products and features." This analogy holds true—there are endless combinations of Office 365 licenses and Microsoft Surface hardware to run the subscription-based software on. There are so many unique combinations of products and features to learn that no one person can be expected to master them all. This can make collaboration complicated.
However, with Microsoft Teams, this is virtually a non-issue. Teams allows people who are in different parts of the world to share and collaborate on files in real-time without having to worry about file locks, file compatibility issues, and other challenges. Users can simply upload the document into the appropriate discussion on Teams, open it up, and start collaborating immediately.
This can be a game-changer for business collaboration. By allowing people to work together on a file in real-time without having to worry about compatibility issues, Teams makes collaboration more reliable and efficient.
How Teams Simplifies Using Office 365
In the video, there's a reference made to a common scene in military movies: A fresh recruit shows up on the battlefield laden down with a ton of gear, only for one of the more experienced guys to look over his kit and start tossing out all the extra stuff the greenhorn doesn't need. Without the excess crud weighing them down, the rookie can perform better without getting exhausted.
Microsoft Office 365 provides a lot of tools for people to use and learn—far too much for most people to do so comfortably. Normally, an expert user in the organization would be the one to sit a new user down and tell them which Office 365 apps and tools would be the best to switch between for different things. Teams helps simplify things and alleviates the training burden on organizations by presenting users with an easy-to-learn set of core applications and features in a single place.

Over $600M Stolen in Poly Network Cross-Chain Hack
Poly Network announced via Twitter that it was attacked on the Binance, Ethereum, and Polygon networks.
A massive $600 million cyberattack targeting Poly Network was carried out on Tuesday morning. The tweet from Poly Network reads, "Important Notice: We are sorry to announce that #PolyNetwork was attacked on @BinanceChain @ethereum and @0xPolygon. Assets had been transferred to the hacker's following addresses:
ETH: 0xC8a65Fadf0e0dDAf421F28FEAb69Bf6E2E589963
BSC: 0x0D6e286A7cfD25E0c01fEe9756765D8033B32C71."
Poly Network is a protocol that swaps tokens across several blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. The assets stolen boil down to $273 million ETH, $253 million in BSC tokens, and $85 million in USDC taken from the Polygon network.
In a series of follow-up tweets, Poly Network stated that the hacker has deposited $USDC and $DAI to the curve and called on miners of the affected blockchain and exchanges to blacklist any tokens from the aforementioned addresses. According to a tweet from the CTO of Tether,
Paolo Ardoino, Tether has already frozen $33 million $USDT that were part of the stolen assets, effectively locking the tokens. Meanwhile, CRO of Binance Changpeng Zhao tweeted that "we are aware of the https://poly.network exploit that occurred today. While no one controls BSC (or ETH), we are coordinating with all our security partners to proactively help. There are no guarantees. We will do as much as we can. Stay SAFU."
Tracking down those responsible
According to SlowMist, the security team has announced they have successfully tracked down the hacker's mailbox, IP address, and device fingerprint. The Poly Network attacker has been found via on-chain and off-chain tracking. SlowMist adds that "with the technical support of SlowMist's partner Hoo Tiger Symbol and multiple exchanges, the SlowMist security team discovered that the hacker's initial source of funds was Monero (XMR), and then changed to BNB, ETH, MATIC, on the exchange, withdraw coins to 3 addresses, and launch an attack on 3 chains soon." The security group concluded that due to the flow of funds and the fingerprint information, it can be assumed this was a well-planned, organized, and time-consuming attack.
SlowMist also says that a transaction from one of the offending wallets was sent with a message stating that "it would have been a billion hack if I had moved remaining shitcoins! Did I just save the project? Not so interested in money, now considering returning some tokens or just leaving them here," suggesting he may just abandon the wallet in limbo.

We have had a fantastic response to this event. We now have more people wishing to attend the lunch than we can accomodate with the planned format. In order to avoid disappointing people who wish to attend, but have not yet bought tickets, we have changed the lunch format, which will now be a buffet. We feel that the more people that are able to attend, the more we will be able to raise for charities nominated by the Lomas and Brennan families. We hope to have an added attraction on the day – an appearance by 2012 Grand National winner Neptune Collonges, courtesy of the owner John Hales, a long-time supporter and sponsor of the club.

'BRUTAL, EXCESSIVE FORCE'
Man died after police 'broke his neck during arrest' – then held his head up for his mugshot
emily.lever@the-sun.com

Updated: Oct 4 2020, 2:42 ET
THE family of a Texas man who died after his neck was broken during an arrest is suing police for using "brutal, unreasonable and excessive force".
Jorge Gonzalez Zuniga's mugshot shows gloved hands holding his head up and a massive lump on his neck.

According to the suit, cops "tackled and assaulted" Zuniga, shocked him with a Taser, crushed his neck, handcuffed him and put him in ankle restraints, intentionally tripped him while shackled, and Tased him again when he could not get up.
Following the arrest, Zuniga never received proper care for his injuries and became fully paralyzed, the complaint filed by his family said. The 23-year-old father died three months later.
On April 12, the day of his arrest, Zuniga was attending a BBQ in a trailer park in Elsa, a town near McAllen, Texas.
Police responded to a dispute unrelated to the BBQ in a nearby area and then found Zuniga asleep on the ground following the party, according to both the complaint and an affidavit of probable cause filed by one of the four cops named as defendants in the complaint.
The cops told Zuniga to go home. His loved ones say he was in the process of doing so when the police jumped him. Zuniga was ultimately arrested for public intoxication, violation of the statewide emergency order in force at the time, and resisting arrest, the affidavit said.

Zuniga was taken to jail, and instead of assessing and treating his injuries, cops acted with "deliberate indifference" and threw him in the "drunk tank," according to the complaint.
No one checked on him for another 21 hours after his booking and he was discovered unresponsive and taken to the hospital around midnight on April 13, the complaint said.
At the hospital, he was diagnosed with a dangerously low body temperature (82.4 F), a severe cervical fracture, a broken spinal cord and paralysis from the neck down, meaning he was quadriplegic, the complaint said.

He underwent multiple surgeries while connected to a ventilator because he could not breathe on his own due to paralysis.
A doctor recommended Zuniga be moved to a long-term treatment facility, but he was uninsured, so he was sent home, according to the family's Gofundme.
Zuniga died of a heart attack due to complications from his injuries on July 15, the complaint said.
His mother and wife stayed at his bedside. "Every day that I would see him in the hospital bed, not being able to move, would kill me," Zuniga's mother said in a statement through her lawyer.
"They took my companion - the love of my life," Zuniga's widow said, also in statement through the lawyer.
"I just ask for fair justice because he was a human being, not an animal. He didn't deserve to suffer the way he did and no one does. He was only 23 and had a 1-year-old child – he will never play with his son again."
Texas Rangers said at the time they were investigating the case.
A Hidalgo County grand jury voted on August 20 not to indict the arresting for manslaughter, according to local news outlet The Monitor.

On September 26, protesters marched outside the Hidalgo County District Attorney's Office to demand evidence revealed by the Texas Rangers' investigation by released to the public.
Zuniga's sister said during the protest that the arresting officers and the cops that booked her brother and held his head up in the mugshot deserved jail time.
They "need to be jailed in the same way they jail other people," she said in a speech. "Because we're all the same and no one makes them superior over us."


On Thur-Fri Feb 11-12 2010, the Dallas-Fort Worth area got a record snow fall. By some accounts we received around nine inches of snow! --- BUT --- we were in San Antonio for Melina's annual music teacher convention, so we missed the big day of fresh snow. We got home on Saturday afternoon, and there was still quite a bit of snow despite a couple days of 40 degree weather. So we just HAD to go out and play in it, and make a rather nice snowman. That's the first real snowman I've made in more than 25 years.

Eugénie Cotton, geborene Eugénie Élise Céline Feytis, (* 13. Oktober 1881 in Soubise; † 16. Juni 1967 in Sèvres) war eine französische Naturwissenschaftlerin und internationale Frauenpolitikerin.

Leben

Eugénie Cotton war die zweite Tochter von Eugène Feytis, der wie sein Vater und seine Brüder von Beruf Seiler war, und Emilie Menant, die einen von ihren Eltern ererbten Tabakladen führte. Sie hatte eine ältere Schwester, Amélie, die noch in ihrer Schulzeit starb, im Jahr 1896. Die 1886 geborene Marie starb nur wenige Stunden nach ihrer Geburt, ebenso wie der 1887 geborene Bruder Ferdinand.

Eugénie Cotton besuchte in Niort das Lyzeum und studierte von 1901 bis 1903 Physik bei Marie Curie an der École Normale Supérieure de jeunes filles, Sèvres. Pierre Curie soll ihr in dieser Zeit das Fahrradfahren beigebracht haben, und gelegentlich passte sie auf die Töchter des Ehepaars auf, Ève Curie und Irène Joliot-Curie. 1904 erhielt sie die Zulassung als Lehrerin an Höheren Schulen und unterrichtete ab 1905 am Collége de Poitiers, durch die Einflussnahme Marie Curies gelang ihr jedoch schon bald die Rückkehr als Lehrerin an ihre Alma Mater in Sèvres. Gleichzeitig begann sie ein Studium in Physik und Chemie an der Sorbonne, das sie erst 20 Jahre später mit der Promotion beenden sollte.

Bei einer Demonstration des Ultramikroskops in der Physikalischen Gesellschaft in Paris in den Osterferien des Jahres 1905 lernte sie den zwölf Jahre älteren Physiker Aimé Cotton kennen. Das Paar heiratete am 5. August 1913 in Paris. Nur wenige Tage vor dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges wurde ihr erstes Kind geboren. Das zweite Kind, Paul, starb nur zwei Tage nach seiner zu frühen Geburt im Februar 1916 an Lungenentzündung. 1917 kam die Tochter Amélie (Minnie) auf die Welt, die im Alter von 9 Jahren im Jahr 1926 an einer Blinddarmentzündung starb, und 1919 Jeannette.

Sie promovierte schließlich 1925, im Alter von 44 Jahren, und wurde anschließend Studienleiterin am Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), dem staatlichen französischen Zentrum für wissenschaftliche Forschung. 1941 verfügte die Vichy-Regierung ihren vorzeitigen Ruhestand.

Eugénie Cotton gehörte 1945 zu den Gründerinnen der Union der Französischen Frauen und übernahm den Vorsitz dieser Frauenorganisation. Im gleichen Jahr, am 1. Dezember 1945, wurde sie auf dem Gründungskongress der Internationalen Demokratischen Frauenföderation (IDFF) zur Präsidentin gewählt und übte diese Funktion bis zu ihrem Tod aus.

Preise und Auszeichnungen

Im April 1951 erhielt Cotton für ihr Eintreten für Frauenrechte den Stalin-Friedenspreis. Sie wurde zum Ritter der Ehrenlegion ernannt und erhielt 1961 die Goldmedaille des Weltfriedensrates.

Nach ihrem Tod wurden mehrere Grundschulen in der Region Paris nach ihr benannt, so in Paris, Sèvres, Champigny-sur-Marne, Nanterre, Vitry-sur-Seine, Bonneuil-sur-Marne oder Rosny-sous-bois. Es gibt auch einen Eugénie-Cotton-Kindergarten in Brétigny-sur-Orge, in Choisy-le-Roi, in Trappes und eine Schule in der Bretagne, in Lanester, sowie an der Aube in Romilly-sur-Seine und im Departement Moselle in Talange.

Nach ihr wurden auch ein Gymnasium in Argenteuil und in Montreuil, eine Straße im 19. Arrondissement von Paris, eine Straße in Saint-Herblain am Stadtrand von Nantes, eine Straße in Le Havre sowie eine Krippe in Morsang-sur-Orge im Departement Essonne benannt.

1985 wurde ein Venuskrater (Cotton) nach ihr benannt.

Kristan Frederick Hopkins (born 8 June 1963) is a British Conservative Party politician, who was formerly the Member of Parliament for Keighley in West Yorkshire. Elected in 2010, he served as Vice-Chamberlain of the Household, a government whip. He was previously Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Department for Communities and Local Government and the former housing minister.  He lost his seat in the 2017 general election.

Military career
Hopkins served in Kenya, Northern Ireland and Germany as a Private in the Duke of Wellington's Regiment.

Academic career
According to his CV, on leaving the Army he completed a degree in communications and cultural studies at Leeds University before going on to lecture in media theory, communications and digital media. His CV gives neither dates nor places for any of these activities. He actually studied at Trinity and All Saints College in Horsforth, Leeds (now Leeds Trinity University).  The college's degrees at that time were awarded externally by the University of Leeds.

Political career
Hopkins had stood twice for Parliament before being elected, when he was second to Linda Riordan in the 2005 election for the seat of Halifax, also in West Yorkshire and for the Leeds West Constituency in 2001.

Before his election to Parliament, Hopkins had been a member of Bradford Council since 1998, rising to become the council's deputy leader in 2004 and leader in 2006.

In 2012, Hopkins alleged that some Muslim gangs were targeting young white girls for rape, saying: "if we deny that fact in this House then the BNP and everybody else climbs on board" and suggested that law enforcement was hindered in pursuing them by "political correctness".

In October 2013, Hopkins appointed Minister for Housing. Conservative Party colleague Nadine Dorries called the promotion of Hopkins to a junior ministerial posts "a really awful decision", describing him on Twitter as "one of parliament's slimiest, nastiest MP's". Therese Coffey defended Hopkins, describing him as "authentic and brave"

In the July 2014 reshuffle, Hopkins became minister for local government and adult social care.

Following the May 2015 general election, Hopkins was appointed Vice-Chamberlain of the Household – a senior position within the whips' office. He was a losing candidate in the general election of 8 June 2017. He later became a Special Adviser at the Northern Ireland Office.

This is an ongoing series of acrylic paintings on canvas using the infrastructure of animal carcasses to define and support the landscape. The imagery is quite graphic, yet there is a bold beauty to nature's recovery of it's once living flesh. Nature transitions the harsh reality of death and in the winter, pulls a forensic sheet over the remains. "As I work at pulling the prairie covering back, the imagery is sometimes raw, but each piece conveys a sardonic beauty that transcends traditional responses to the landscape".
Like a war artist, Paul Constable's visually intensive exploration has a sardonic beauty that is undertaken with traditional brush and canvas depictions. This lyrical forensic visualizes the evidence of two colliding forces with preoccupied agendas. The interaction between these opposing forces produce devastating results, endangering a delicate ecosystem and the lives of many innocent riders with the potential decimation of the other. As humans, we participate in this daily tragedy in a nonchalant and accepting manner, as we multitask, attending to children and using our handheld devices while we gobble up the prairie as quickly as we can.

Stephen Wilson) 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P 56, Defendants Xcentric Ventures, LLC and Edward Magedson respectfully submit the following response to Plaintiffs Statement of Additional Facts. DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 FACT(S) 1. Defendants' Web site, Ripoff Report, is a "consumer reporting Web site and publication, by consumers, for consumers, to file and document complaints about companies or individuals." RESPONSE Undisputed 2. Only complaints are published. Positive reports will not be posted. Disputed but irrelevant and immaterial; misstates testimony of Ms. Brast who testified that positive statements can be posted as a "comment or a reply." Brast Decl. � 10. Undisputed 3. To draft a complaint, users of the Defendants' Web site are guided through a five-step process. 4. In Step 1 the Web site requires users to input certain information about the business or individual that is the target of the report such as its name, address, and telephone number. 5. In Step 2, the Web site requires users to create a "title" for their report. The title is composed of four parts: (1) the name of the company or individual that is the target of the report, (2) a "creative" description of the target's alleged wrongdoing, (3) the city in which the target is located in, and (4) the sate in which the target is located. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Undisputed Undisputed 6. Later in Step 2, the user is required to categorize the complaint into one of many predetermined categories such as "Con Artists" and "Court Judges." Undisputed that a user must choose a category and topic for his/her report; remaining "facts" misstate the testimony of Ben Smith but are otherwise irrelevant and immaterial. 2 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 7. In Step 3, the Web site provides users with a blank text box in which to draft the body of the report. 8. In Step 4, users have the option of including photographs with their reports. 9. Step 5 allows users to finally submit their report. Undisputed Undisputed Undisputed Disputed; misstates the testimony of � 13 of Ben Smith's affidavit (part of the cited information is contained in � 14 of Smith's affidavit); disputed to the extent � 10 alleges that Defendants automatically create codes; � 14 of Mr. Smith's affidavit states: "When a report is submitted to the Ripoff Report, Xcentric's servers automatically combine the unique text supplied by the author with various HTML code that is generic to every page on the site." (emphasis added) Undisputed that the phrase "Ripoff Report:" appears in parts of every page on the website www.RipoffReport.com; remainder of � 11 is disputed; nothing in the cited source (Declaration of Kristi Jahnke) supported these purported fact; Ms. Jahnke's declaration fails to demonstrate that the witness has any personal knowledge of Defendants' actions. 10. After this information is submitted, Defendants automatically combine the text supplied by the author with various HTML codes. This combined effort appears in the "meta tags" and are "used by search engines to index the contents of the specific page at issue." 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 11. Specifically, Defendants input original content into the "title meta tag" of the particular webpage. Defendants create the title meta tag for each report by adding the phrase "Ripoff Report:" to the beginning of the title created in Step 2. This title appears as a search result on Internet search engines such as Google and is visible to anyone conducting an online search of the target. 3 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 12. Defendants also create "description meta tags" using the four-part title developed by the original poster. The description meta tag is displayed on Internet search engines in two lines beneath the title tag. Thus, the description meta tag is visible to anyone conducting an online search of the target. 13. Finally, Defendants create "keyword meta tags" using the "unique keyword supplied by the author such as the name of the company" and three unique keywords � "rip-off, ripoff, rip off." These keyword meta tags are "used by search engines in order to accurately reflect the source of the indexed page." Disputed; nothing in the cited source (Declaration of Kristi Jahnke) supported these purported fact; Ms. Jahnke's declaration fails to demonstrate that the witness has any personal knowledge of Defendants' actions. Disputed; misstates the testimony of �� 14�16 of Ben Smith's affidavit; Mr. Smith testified that meta tags were created by Xcentric's servers, not by "Defendants". See Smith Aff. � 14. Undisputed that six reports about Plaintiffs appear on the Ripoff Report website; disputed that Defendants have "published" these reports because Defendants may not be treated as the publisher of such information. See 47 U.S.C. � 230(c)(1). Undisputed Undisputed that certain search engines may display results stating "Ripoff Report: Asia Economic Institute, AEI, WorldEcon: Raymond...Asia Economic Insitute, AEI, 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 15. The title, description and keyword meta tags of these reports are attached as EXHIBIT 1 to the Declaration of Kristi Jahnke. 16. Because of the combined efforts of the Defendants and the anonymous users of the Defendants' Web sites, anyone conducting an online search of the Plaintiffs will see: "Ripoff Report: Asia Economic Institute, AEI, WorldEcon: Raymond...Asia Economic Insitute, AEI, 14. To date, the Defendants have published six reports referencing the Plaintiffs. 4 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 WorldEcon: Raymond Mobrez And Iliana Llaneras Complete Exploitation as an employee. Do not work for the Asia Economic..." WorldEcon: Raymond Mobrez And Iliana Llaneras Complete Exploitation as an employee. Do not work for the Asia Economic...". Additional Fact � 16 is disputed to the extent that it is primarily a legal conclusion rather than a fact; nothing in the cited source (Declaration of Kristi Jahnke) supports the purported facts concerning the "combined efforts of the Defendants and the anonymous users of Defendants' Web sites ..."; Ms. Jahnke's declaration fails to demonstrate that the witness has any personal knowledge of Defendants' actions. Disputed; the cited references are hearsay and/or double hearsay; Fed. R. Evid. 802; � 17 also mischaracterizes the cited references which do not support the asserted fact. Disputed; the cited reference is hearsay; Fed. R. Evid. 802. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 17. The appearance of this text on Internet search engines has caused certain individuals to refuse to engage in or discontinue engaging in business with the Plaintiffs. 18. Moreover, the appearance of this text on Internet search engines have caused others to decline employment offers from the Plaintiffs after conducting online searches of the Plaintiffs. 19. On February 15, 2009, Mobrez sent an e-mail to Ripoff Report informing the Defendants of the Undisputed 5 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 "outlandish lies" published on their Web site. In an effort to avoid the judicial process, Mobrez simply requested that the Defendants remove the posts from their Web site and identify the individuals responsible. Likewise, Mobrez informed Defendants "Your false publishing has caused me and others that you have named hardship and enormous loss." At this time, Mobrez made Defendants aware of the damage we were suffering because of these posts. 20. After there had been no response, AEI filed a "Rebuttal" on April 3, 2009 for each report listed on the Ripoff Report Web site at that time. These "rebuttals," however, do not appear as "results" on Internet search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Undisputed that AEI filed rebuttals; remainder of � 20 is disputed as to whether "rebuttals appear as results on search engines"; see Affidavit of Ben Smith In Support of Defendants' Reply Re: Motion for Summary Judgment at �� 6�14 Undisputed that rebuttals may be filed for free; Irrelevant and disputed to the extent this fact implies that Defendants block favorable information from appearing in search results; see Affidavit of Ben Smith In Support of Defendants' Reply Re: Motion for Summary Judgment at �� 6�14 N/A (same as � 21) Undisputed that Magedson sent an email dated May 5, 2009 the contents of which speak for themselves. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 21. A business or individual may file a rebuttal for free. However, as Magedson admits, these rebuttals do not appear as Internet search results. 22. N/A (same as � 21) 23. On May 5, 2009, Mr. Magedson made a lengthy response describing, among other things, the "Rip-off Report's Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation 6 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 and Customer Satisfaction Program." The program, as described by Mr. Magedson's email, promised to change "the negative listings on search engines into a positive along with all the Reports on Rip-off Report." Mobrez never threatened to sue Mr. Magedson or his company; yet, the email warned that a lawsuit against the Web site was a losing battle. The email boasted that the Web site "NEVER lost a case" and that suing would "only get [us] more publicity and additional listings on search engines." 24. This e-mail is one of two standard e-mails sent to targeted businesses and individuals who express interest in removing or remedying the reports. 25. The hyperlink included in the May 12, 2009 e-mail from Mr. Magedson directed Mr. Mobrez to apply for Defendants' Corporate Advocacy Program. The application form requires targeted businesses or individuals to fill in certain information, such as the name of the business/individual, number of offices, average sales, and the number of complaints published by the Defendants. 26. Once this application is completed, applicants are sent a second generic e-mail. Among other things, the email demonstrates that title and description meta tags of all reports regarding CAP members are changed. The email states: "See how other Corporate Advocacy Program member listing look on search engines. Then 7 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW Undisputed that CAP applicants are sent a second email, the contents of which speak for themselves. Undisputed that the email from Mr. Magedson contains a link to a form with certain questions; disputed that Defendants have "published" any complaints because Defendants may not be treated as the publisher of such information. See 47 U.S.C. � 230(c)(1). Undisputed 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 look at the beginning of the reports that are listed on the search engines. You will see about 250 words injected into the beginning of the Report with your stated commitments." This statement is followed by several hyperlinks exemplifying the final result. 27. The e-mail includes their standard "Rate Sheet." According to this document, fees for the CAP are calculated in three ways: (1) calculation by amount of reports filed, (2) by the number of offices, or (3) by gross sale of a product or service. Which methodology is chosen is dependent on which calculation is higher. 28. According to the Defendants' rate sheet, fees are calculated using the amount of reports filed using the following standard: "1 to 20 Reports One time charge $7,500 Programming Plus $600 Per Report..Then Monthly Monitoring Fee 36 month minimum. $40.00 per Report times the Reports originally filed. Minimum $100.00 per month monitoring. NOTE: no matter how many Reports you have, ..the first 20 Reports will still cost $600 per Report then the balance of the Reports will be calculated as stated below. 21 to 50 Reports One time charge $7,500 Programming Plus $500 Per Report. Then Monthly Monitoring Fee 36 month min. $35.00 per Report times the Reports originally filed.. 51 to 150 Reports One time charge $7,500 Programming Plus $425 Per Report.. Then Monthly Monitoring Fee 36 month min. $25.00 per Report times the Reports originally filed. 151 to 350 Reports One time charge $7,500 Programming Plus $400 Per Report.. Then Monthly Monitoring Fee 36 month min. $20.00 per Report times 8 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW Undisputed that CAP fees are always calculated based on the number of reports filed; disputed as to remainder of � 27; see Affidavit of Ed Magedson In Support of Defendants' Reply Re: Motion for Summary Judgment at �� 5�8 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Undisputed but irrelevant 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 the Report originally filed. 351 to 500 Reports One time charge $8,500 Programming Plus $350 Per Report.. Then Monthly Monitoring Fee 36 month min. $15.00 per Report times the Reports originally filed. 501 to 1000 Reports One time charge $15,500 Programming Plus $300 Per Report.. Then Monthly Monitoring Fee 36 moth min. $15.00 per Report times the Reports originally filed. 1001 to 1500 Reports One time charge $20,500 Programming Plus $250 Per Report.. Then Monthly Monitoring Fee 36 month min. $10.00 per Report times the Reports originally filed.." 29. The initial fee of $7,500 is based on what Mr. Magedson thought was "fair." 30. It also appears that the more defamatory reports that appear on the Defendants Web site, the higher the cost of the CAP program. 31. Furthermore, Magedson admits that the longer a target waits, the more expensive it will be to join the CAP. 32. If higher, fees will be calculated based on the amount of offices is calculated using the following standard: "There will be a minimum one time charge for each office location of $2,500. Monthly monitoring fees will be $100 per month per office for a minimum of 36 months from date of our agreement. If you want our services after that time, a new rate can be negotiated. **initial programming and setup fees to apply. $5,500" 33. If higher, fees will be based on gross sale of a Irrelevant and disputed, see Affidavit of Ed Irrelevant and disputed, see Affidavit of Ed Magedson In Support of Defendants' Reply Re: Motion for Summary Judgment at �� 5�8 Undisputed but irrelevant Undisputed but irrelevant Undisputed but irrelevant 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 9 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 product or service. According to the Defendants' rate sheet, Defendants "will look at the average cost of the product you sell (that was complained about) or the cost of the service you may provide and multiply that times an amount equal to one month of sales (in other words, your average monthly revenue from the product) as the down payment plus $5,500 programming fee plus % per month for minimum 36 months thereafter." 34. Monthly fees for the CAP must be paid by the 8th of each month. If not paid, "all privileges incorporated within the Business Remediation Program will cease after 30 days." 35. Had the Plaintiffs been accepted into the CAP, they would be required to pay an initial fee of $11,100 ($7,500 + $600 times 6 reports). They would also be required to pay $240 a month for 36 months. At the end of these 36 months, Plaintiffs would have spent $19,740. 36. For this cost, Mr. Magedson sends a generic e-mail to the authors of the reports, commending the CAP member for wanting to "make it right." 37. In addition, Mr. Magedon [sic] adds a generic statement to the beginning of each report in red, bold lettering. This statement discredits the report and praises the CAP member for its dedication to customer satisfaction. 38. The title meta tags of each report are then changed Magedson In Support of Defendants' Reply Re: Motion for Summary Judgment at �� 5�8 Undisputed but irrelevant 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Disputed; this is a hypothetical conclusion, not a "fact" subject to judicial notice pursuant to Fed. R. Evid. 201 Undisputed but irrelevant Irrelevant and disputed to the extent this statement is not supported by the cited source.

The once negative title meta tags no longer appear on Internet search engines. Because Ripoff Report "gets a good ranking" on search engines, there is an added value to joining CAP. 39. Complaints made against CAP members are prevented from publication. 40. No "investigation" takes place. No third parties are hired to conduct an investigation into the truth or falsity of the postings. 41. If a targeted business or individual declines to pay this fee, the defamatory meta tags continue to appear on Internet search results and the damage incurred as a result of this image remains. 42. Although the Plaintiffs feared continued economic loss, they refused to join CAP. As such, the content of the search result remains negative and more defamatory reports appear on the Defendants' Web site. 43. Because of these reports, Plaintiffs continue to lose business opportunities and are unable to hire new employees. 44. Mr. Magedson admits that targeted business and individuals may be too intimidated to bring a suit against the Defendants. Disputed; the cited sources of information do not support the fact asserted; the cited sources of information are hearsay and/or double hearsay; Fed. R. Evid. 802.

ADDITIONAL POINTS a. The Sham Affidavit Rule Applies In various places in their Response to Defendants' Separate Statement of Facts, Plaintiffs attempt to create a factual dispute by citing to the "corrected" declaration of Raymond Mobrez dated May 20, 2010 (Doc. #38). Specifically, Plaintiffs rely on Mr. Mobrez's "corrected" declaration as the sole evidence demonstrating the existence of a factual dispute as to each of the following paragraphs in Defendants' Separate Statement of Facts: �� 26�33, 36, 37, 41�45. For the most part, these specific facts are merely background points which are not material to Defendants' motion and would not require the motion to be denied even assuming a genuine factual dispute were to exist as to those facts. However, as previously explained in a pleading filed in this matter on May 24, 2010 entitled "Notice Re: Plaintiffs' Corrected Declarations" (Doc. #48), a party is not permitted to contradict his own prior testimony in an effort to create a factual dispute to avoid summary judgment; "The general rule in the Ninth Circuit is that a party cannot create an issue of fact by an affidavit contradicting his prior deposition testimony." Nelson v. City of Davis, 571 F.3d 924 (9th Cir. 2009) (quoting Kennedy v. Allied Mutual Insurance Co., 952 F.2d 262 (9th Cir.1991)). For this reason, to the extent that any statements made in Mr. Mobrez's "corrected" declaration conflict with either his prior deposition testimony given on May 7, 2010 or his earlier declaration dated May 3, 2010, this sham testimony is insufficient to create a genuine factual dispute and cannot be relied upon as a basis for denying summary judgment. Based on a close review and comparison of Mr. Mobrez's original May 3 declaration, his "corrected" May 20 declaration, and his May 7 deposition testimony, it appears for the most part that only two key areas of testimony would be affected by applying the sham affidavit rule. Specifically, in � 2 of his "corrected" May 20 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 declaration, Mr. Mobrez states that, "There were a number of calls made by me to Ripoff Report. In addition, there were a number of incoming calls to me from Ripoff Report." 12 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 This "corrected" testimony directly conflicts with Mr. Mobrez's original declaration made in response to the court's April 19th order, in which he never identified any "incoming calls" from Ripoff Report. This testimony also directly conflicts with Mr. Mobrez's deposition testimony in which he stated that he had no memory of Mr. Magedson ever calling him on the phone: [By Mr. Gingras]: Q: Did Mr. Magedson ever call you? So far we've talked about four prior calls, all of which you initiated. Did he ever call you? [By Mr. Mobrez]: A: Q: I truly don't remember exactly if he ever called back. Okay. And I assume we can have phone records that would determine whether or not that happened. But as you sit here, you don't remember? A: No. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 May 7, 2010 Deposition of Raymond Mobrez at 246:5�13 (Exhibit A to Doc. #47) (emphasis added). The second area of testimony affected by the application of the sham affidavit rule is � 5 of Mr. Mobrez's "corrected" declaration in which he described a conversation with "someone" in which $5,000 was discussed. Although this testimony does not implicate Defendants in any wrongdoing, it nevertheless conflicts with the prior testimony of Mr. Mobrez insofar as no such additional conversation was ever disclosed. For these reasons, Defendants respectfully submit that the sham affidavit rule bars Plaintiffs efforts to create factual disputes as to �� 26�33, 36, 37, 41�45 of Defendants' Separate Statement of Facts. As such, these facts should each be construed as undisputed for the purposes of summary judgment. b. Plaintiffs' Non-Disclosure Arguments Re: The Identity Of Anonymous Authors Are Groundless In various places throughout their response to Defendants' Separate Statement of Facts, Plaintiffs complain that information about the true identity of the anonymous authors who created the reports about AEI has not been disclosed by Defendants. For 13 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 example, in �� 64�66, 68, 72, 74 & 75, Plaintiffs attempt to dispute the asserted factual matters noting, "Defendants have not yet disclosed the identity of the posters." This objection is disingenuous and misleading because it implies that Plaintiffs have actually requested such information when, in fact, they have not. To date, Plaintiffs have never asked Defendants to produce information that would identify any author of any reports about Plaintiffs on the Ripoff Report website. Although such information might ordinarily appear to be subject to the compulsory disclosure obligations of Rule 26, this is not the case because information concerning the true identity of an anonymous author is privileged and confidential under the First Amendment. This issue has been the subject of substantial litigation in Arizona. See Mobilisa v. Doe, 217 Ariz. 103, 114�15, 170 P.3d 712, 723�24 (Ariz.App. 2007) (finding identity of anonymous author was protected under First Amendment and could not be compelled without notice to the author and additional requirements); Best Western Int'l, Inc. v. Doe, 2006 WL 2091695, *3 (D.Ariz. 2006) (same). California courts have also determined that the First Amendment protects the right to anonymous speech. See Highfields Capital Mgmt., L.P. v. Doe, 385 F.Supp.2d 969 (N.D.Cal. 2005) (granting motion to quash subpoena seeking identity of anonymous Internet author where requesting party failed to demonstrate viable claims against the author). These issues have been fully discussed with Plaintiffs' counsel. If Plaintiffs wish to obtain the identity of any of the authors of reports appearing on the Ripoff Report website, they are obligated to, among other things, provide notice of such a request to each author and to demonstrate compliance with the standards set forth in Mobilisa and/or Highfields Capital. To date, Plaintiffs have made no efforts of any kind to fulfill these obligations, nor have Plaintiffs asked Defendants to disclose the identity of each other. For those reasons, unless and until Plaintiffs satisfy the legal requirements for obtaining this information, they are not entitled to breach the First Amendment's veil of anonymity as to each author and their lack of diligence in pursing this information does not create a genuine factual dispute as to whether summary judgment is proper. 14 DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS CV10-01360 SVW 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 GINGRAS LAW OFFICE, PLLC 4072 EAST MOUNTAIN VISTA DRIVE PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85048 c. Plaintiffs' Non-Disclosure Arguments Re: Defendants' Cell Phone Records Are Groundless Finally, Plaintiffs attempt to dispute �� 47�50 of Defendants' Separate Statement of Facts which relate to the absence of any additional conversations between Mr. Mobrez and Mr. Magedson other than the six recorded calls which are described in Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment. The primary and/or sole basis for the alleged dispute is that "Plaintiffs have not yet received Mr. Magedson's cell phone records ... ." As with the anonymous author issue, this position is groundless and disingenuous because Plaintiffs have never requested any cell phone records from Mr. Magedson or Xcentric. Plaintiffs cannot legitimately complain about the lack of disclosure of information which they have not requested and which, in any case, would not contain any information to support Plaintiffs' position. As noted above, in his declaration dated May 3, 2010, Mr. Mobrez never identified any conversations with Mr. Magedson other than the ones which Mr. Mobrez initiated and which were automatically recorded by Xcentric. Moreover, in his deposition Mr. Mobrez confirmed that he had no memory of any incoming calls from Mr. Magedson, and Mr. Magedson confirmed that fact in � 37 of his affidavit filed in support of Defendants' motion in which he stated that he never called Mr. Mobrez. These 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 uncontested facts show there is no genuine dispute as to the existence of any additional conversations between Mr. Mobrez and Mr. Magedson. As such, Plaintiffs cannot avoid summary judgment by complaining about the non-disclosure of phone records which they have had ample opportunity to obtain but which they have never requested.

A Coruña, Spain:
May 27, 2017 Corey Sandler
By Corey Sandler
La Coruña was the political capital of the Kingdom of Galicia from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
Spain has 17 autonomous communities, a first-level political division that came out of the Constitution of 1978 which was intended to retain the autonomy of the nationalities and regions of the Spanish nation.
Today, La Coruña is in the autonomous community of Galicia. The place has other versions of its name, in Galician and British English: A Coruña and Corunna respectively.
You can help support this site by making purchases from
AMAZON.COM by clicking on the banner below.
La Coruña is sometimes called "The Crystal City." That nickname is derived from its many galerías, or glazed window balconies.
LA CORUŇA MAY 27, 2017
Naval architects adopted the design of the windowed stern of a warship and applied them as balconies to many places in northern Spain, including Galicia and the Basque region.
The first settlement was believed to have been on the peninsula that extends out from the present city, probably established by the Artabrians, a Celtic tribe.
Then came the Romans in the 2nd century BC.
They were attracted to the strategic position at the edge of Iberia, and they called the region Finis-terrae, the end of the world.
Its name in the Galician language evolved from that to Fisterra.
Under the Romans, the settlement they called Brigantium became important in maritime trade, and even drew the notice of Julius Caesar who visited in 62BC.
Commerce in metal and other materials grew, with connections what is now France, England, and Portugal.
Brigantium reached its peak in the 1st and 2nd centuries, but declined after the 4th century and especially with the incursions of the Normans, which forced the population to flee towards the interior of the Estuary of O Burgo.
It was in the 2nd century that the Farum Brigantium was built.
Farum is the Latin version of the Greek work pharos, meaning lighthouse.
The other name for the farum was the Tower of Hercules.
That tower, restored and elaborated a bit over 1,900 years, still stands on the peninsula about 2.5 kilometers or 1.5 miles from the center of La Coruña.
It has been in more-or-less continuous use since first built, and may well be the oldest lighthouse still in existence.
According to some, it may have been modeled after the great Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
SANTIAGO DEL COMPOSTELA
About an hour south is the town of Santiago de Compostela, a place of pilgrimage for Christians for centuries.
We visited the cathedral on an earlier visit, watching vendors offering walking sticks topped by a carving of a scallop shell–proof to some of the accomplishment of their peregrino or pilgrimage, and topped it all of with tapas and a music and dance performance by a Galician folk troupe: Celtic bagpipes of northwest Spain.

Power to the Patient
Competition among hospitals in the region is hot. One facility hopes a push for more privacy will drive patient satisfaction, and in turn, growth.
When Dia Nichols left his position as head of a Virginia hospital in May 2013 for Florida to assume the top role at Northside Hospital, he knew he'd come to the right place: a medical facility on the rise servicing tens of thousands of residents per year.
Since taking the helm, the hospital, located off a bustling section of St. Petersburg's 49th Street, has charged forward under his leadership. A heavy emphasis has been placed on both technology assistance and quality of trained personnel.
"In the four years that I've been here we've evolved to be a destination hospital for some of your higher-end services like cardiac surgeries," says Nichols, CEO at the hospital. "The neuro-sciences are another area in which we have been able to greatly expand, brain and spine surgeries."
Serving area residents since 1976, Northside has 288 beds and has been known to many locals as a premier cardiac hub because of its Tampa Bay Heart Institute, where more than 300 heart surgeries were performed in 2016 alone. In the same year emergency visits totaled 39,232 people and admissions were 10,341, while a total of 52,353 patients were treated across the gamut of Northside's services.
Now the hospital is moving toward an industry-wide trend that's been building since around the turn of the century - private rooms for patients. That's now considered standard in hospital construction projects, as opposed to decades ago, when there were two to four beds per room.
Nowhere is the luxury of private patient rooms more evident at Northside than in its new orthopedic wing, where Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), the hospital's Nashville-based parent company, recently funded a $20 million renovation. The orthopedic wing now houses 16 beds and is equipped with cutting-edge medical technology for the department's six surgeons. (Another surgeon is joining the staff soon.)
The orthopedic renovations were completed in April and comprise the first of a two-phase operation, with another $10 million yet to be spent. Nichols says there are plans to eventually make all the hospital's rooms private.
He also notes that partially because the orthopedic surgeons — known in medical circles informally as orthopods — played a key role in the design of the renovation, feedback has been positive. "As I call it we kind of 'mac daddy' them out with flat-screen TVs, private showers and that kind of thing," Nichols says. "And we've just gotten rave reviews from these patients that are coming here so far."
But private rooms for patients aren't just for privacy's sake or luxury.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 2 million hospital-derived infections kill roughly 100,000 Americans every year. So the push toward private rooms isn't just about an up-charge to the patient's hospital stay, it's about preventing the spread of contagions. Other compelling reasons for the move from shared to private rooms include better sleep, which helps patients recover more quickly; happiness between the patient and their families; and psychological balance.
"I've been an orthopedic surgeon at Northside Hospital for several years ... (and) these improvements allow for a better environment for my patients," says Dr. Ahmad Nematbakhsh, director of orthopedics at Northside.
In addition to the construction project, running Northside is an expensive proposition. Salaries, wages and benefits for staff totaled $89.15 million in 2016, hospital officials say, while the facility paid $6.37 million in taxes. The cost to treat patients without insurance — a pain point for nearly every hospital — was $19.9 million. HCA doesn't break out revenue for individual hospitals in the chain.
Nichols says with private rooms being the standard of today and the future, patient satisfaction is more often affected by their experience during a recovery stay. "Look, people want their own rooms — family members are coming to visit, they want to be comfortable — that's a norm now," Nichols says. "This has done exactly what we thought it was going to do: Patients love it."

'Long Haul'


Discussion in '3DS - Console, Accessories and Hardware' started by cdhoff, Jan 30, 2017.
Should I just buy another 3DS?
I recently was trying to make a tutorial on installing A9LH for my uncle. I restored a sysNand backup that I made when I A9LH'd my console. Now, when I press the power button, It automatically fades the power LED on my 3DS. No pop or anything like that. Just automatically shuts off.
I am not afraid to open my console. I just don't have $140 to spend on an used New 3DS. Otherwise, I would.
I would say it sounds like a ribbon cable to the LCD have came loose.
-snip- Does the charging light turn on when you charge it?
That doesn't make sense, though. It doesn't make any sort of popping when powered.
Turn the 3DS sideways, looking at the screen. Does it turn on at all? If so, I still think the ribbon cable have come loose. Since it's the same exact symtoms.
I restored a sysNand backup that I made when I A9LH'd my console.
yuyuyup and 8BitWonder like this.
Should I hold any butonns on boot?
No, my nand backup on my 3ds. Im not an idiot.
Do you have the arm9loaderhax.bin on the front?
Also, I think I found a new discovery. There isnt a sysnand. Without the sd card or without arm9loaderhax.bin, it doesnt boot and does what is in the video.
God, i hate that reply delay.
I was trying to remove A9LH so i could reinstall it for the tutorial. I think I may have corrupted my whole sysNand.
Go and actually check if it's EmuNAND or SysNAND. Don't just guess.
Why did you think you needed to uninstall A9LH? That's usually a terrible option.
And no, the system turning off doesn't mean there's no SysNAND. It means that it can't find arm9loaderhax.bin on the SD card, and you didn't install it in CTRNAND.
Don't do this yet. Luma configuration probably just needs to be changed to boot to SysNAND.
Hold SELECT on startup with the SD card in and you'll get the Luma configuration.
Ok, Ill wait. What should I do?
Weird 3DS now bricked by DSiWare Method.

"Oklahoma." Geography, States of the US, Q-files Encyclopedia, 21 Oct. 2017.
Geography, States of the US, s.v. "Oklahoma," accessed April 22, 2019.
Oklahoma is situated in the southern central region of the United States. The semi-arid high plains of central and western Oklahoma form part of the Great Plains. Rivers such as the Cimarron, Canadian and Red flow west-east across the plains. The flat landscape is interrupted by mountain ranges such as the Black Mesa in the Panhandle (the northwestern strip) and the Wichita Mountains in the southwest. Today, the plains' native prairie grasses have been replaced by pasture and wheat fields. The Ozark Mountains rise in the northeast, while the Ouachita Mountains straddle the border with Arkansas.
A young student at a Oklahoma Cherokee language immersion school writing in the Cherokee script. The Cherokee Nation is encouraging the teaching of its language in the hope that in 50 years, 80% or more of the Cherokee people will be fluent speakers.
Oklahoma's name comes from the Native American Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning "red people", a term used to describe Native American people as a whole. The Choctaw chief suggested the name during treaty negotiations in 1866 (Indian Territory was then roughly the same area as modern Oklahoma state). Oklahoma Territory was officially established in 1890.
22nd April 1889 was the day when parts of Oklahoma, previously Indian Territory, were opened up to settlement. Some 50,000 prospective settlers lined up on the border, and at noon they were allowed to make their "run" and compete for the best land. Those who illegally entered ahead of the starting gun were called "sooners". This is the origin of the state's nickname: "Sooner State".


The most obvious benefit of a cash flow strategy is that the extra funds flow into your bank account and not out of it. Developing a passive income stream from property, perhaps to fund your retirement or focus on building a portfolio full-time, is another of the most coveted investor goals. More than that, it makes property investment possible for those without much disposable income.
While the majority of properties in Australia have the capacity to generate rental income, the typical rental income is in the range of 3–10% of the property's value per annum.
It is unrealistic to expect any property to have both high yield and high growth over the long term as cash flow properties will typically only grow on average at a rate of 3–5% annually. However, on the flip side, rental rates will typically grow at an average of 7–10% per annum.
At a very basic level, to have a positive cash flow from any investment property the rent needs to be high enough to cover your mortgage repayments and property expenses.
Assuming you don't have any other tax benefits, this means that if you borrow 80% of the property's value at 8% interest, and your annual property expenses (such as repairs, council rates, etc) are 1% of the property's value, then you need to have at least 7.4% (80% x 8% + 1%) rental yield to hold a positive cash flow property.
One of the main advantages of cash flow properties is the positive or neutral cash flow they generate. You can't lose having money in your pocket. Furthermore, these properties are typically in areas that tend to have lower entry prices, as well as lower stamp duty and land taxes in some cases.
As a first-time investor, this means you would typically need less of a deposit, or income, to get started with than you would require if you were buying a capital growth property.
How do I find properties with good cash flow?
-Identify suburbs that have at least 5% rental yield and 5% forecast annual capital growth for the next five years.
-Discount all suburbs in which the proportion of rental properties is less than 10%.
-Take note of the sales history. All areas with a low volume of sales should be struck off your list.
-Be wary of towns and local economies that rely on one industry for employment.


If you are in debt, then there's a very good chance that it isn't your fault. You are a good person, and you have every intention of paying back what you owe. Unfortunately, life keeps throwing obstacles in your way, and you are now in a position where you feel you just can't get out of the hole you're in. With that in mind, here are some personal debt reduction tips to help you get back on firm financial footing. 1. STOP! You will not get out of debt by going further into debt.
Stop using your credit cards now. Whatever it is, it can wait. No excuses. It is time to stop making a bigger financial hole, and time to start building a solid foundation. 2.
Evaluate your current situation. It may take some time to do it, but this step is absolutely vital to turning things around. You need to keep track of all of your expenses, down to the last cent. Be brutally honest as you do this, and remember that no one else ever has to see it. Then list all of your income, regardless of source. Next, write down all of your debts, making sure to record the principal, interest rate and minimum payment. You now have an accurate picture of your current situation--a starting point. 3. Take a breath and prioritize. There can be a lot of stress that goes along with personal debt reduction, but here's an easy way to be more relaxed about it.
You know how much is coming in and how much is going out, so now it's time to figure out which expenses are the most important. Generally speaking, anything you need to stay alive or keep the income coming in should be among your highest priorities. Food, shelter, utilities, medicine, and maybe an automobile are good examples. Low priority items could include cable television, an extra cell phone, cigarettes, and junk food. 4. Get your spending under control. This is the natural extension of setting your priorities. In fact, if you have prioritized properly, then this step will be relatively easy. Now it will just be a matter of eliminating or reducing the lowest priority items. Keep working your way up the list from bottom to top, lowering each expense by as much as possible.
If your income is extremely limited, then be sure the highest priority items are taken care of first. 5. Attack! By now you should have freed up a lot more money by reducing expenses on low priority items. Use this money to start paying off the debt with the lowest balance, and pay the minimum on all other debts. Then, once the lowest debt is paid off, move on to the next one. Remember, you now have as much as you were spending on the other debt, and that should be added to the next debt's minimum. Financial experts call this the snowball method and is one of the most effective methods of personal debt reduction.

RACE PROFILE
Inaugurated two weeks before its first Formula 1 Grand Prix in September 1991, the Catalunya circuit near Barcelona has proved to be one of the best-designed circuits of the recent era. It is well-liked by most drivers and so has retained the privilege of hosting the Spanish Grand Prix ever since.
The track is a modern circuit with 8 right-hand and 5 left-hand corners. It includes 3 magnificent sweeping, fast curves, and 2 long, power-sapping straights. There are also two heavy braking areas where F1 cars go from 6th down to 3rd gear.
Catalunya is now favoured by most F1 teams for winter testing, which has received some criticism that teams are over-familiar with the circuit. But this fantastic circuit, renowned for its varying winds that cut across the track, never disappoints. Sell-out crowds and being on the doorstep of one of Europe's great cultural cities helps to make it a favourite on the F1 calendar.

First Lady launches initiative to promote Robotics, encourage reading
Georgetown, Guyana – (October 10, 2018) First Lady, Mrs. Sandra Granger, today, launched a workshop that merges reading and robotics and is aimed at equipping librarians and community groups with the necessary skills to conduct robotics sessions for children in libraries and reading centres across the country.
The programme is being executed through a collaborative effort by the Office of the First Lady, the Ministry of Public Telecommunications, the National Library and STEM Guyana. It will cater for over 30 groups from the various regions.
Mrs. Granger said the marriage of reading and robotics is going to be an exciting union and issued a call for private sector support. "I hope that our communities and private sector will get on board and see the benefit of this initiative…I think this is one of the first steps to an educated STEAM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture and Mathematics] population," she First Lady said.
Meanwhile, Co-Founder of STEM Guyana, Ms. Karen Abrams, pointed out that talent is equally distributed throughout all of the communities across Guyana but opportunities are not. In this regard, she expressed the hope that this initiative will open doors for youths who, otherwise, might not have the chance to get involved in robotics, while at the same time, encouraging more reading.
Also present at the opening was Ms. Emily King, Chief Librarian, who remarked that the National Library was pleased to be part of this initiative.
The two-day training programme is being held at the National Racquet Centre, Thomas Lands.

Sale made the relatively short trip to Winnington Park on a sunny Thursday evening to face National 2 North promotion chasers, Chester, in the final of the 2019 Cheshire Cup.
The men in red were now building a head of steam when full-back, Sean Green, broke clear from halfway, Sale scrum-half, Matt Bradley, was shown a yellow card as he attempted to slow the play down.
Five minutes later came the moment of the game as Sale's outside-centre, Ed O'Keeffe, received a ball out wide, weaved this way and that and then put a clever kick behind the winger before winning the foot race to touch down.
However, the blue and whites were not to be denied and following an amazing break from Ryan Parkinson (playing at inside centre rather than his usual position in the back row), Tom Ailes scored his second try to put the game out of reach.
Sale Grammar's Alumni go head to head for the Hindle Cup this Thursday evening.
This Thursday Evening sees Sale Grammar's Alumni Old Boys facing off against Sale Grammar's Even Older Alumni Boys for the Hindle Cup.
The Hindle Cup as it is proudly known is named after Mr Andrew Hindle, who was the former Head of Physical Education at the school, where he taught so many of the Alumni Old Boys during their time at the school.
The Hindle Cup games were created as a way of not only remembering Mr Hindle and the work he did at the school, but to also provide a legacy, allowing students both young and old to compete for the cup in his memory, therefore bringing together the former alumni of the school on this prestigious sporting occasion.
Kick Off on Thursday Evening will be 7.30pm, with admission being Adults £5 and Children U16 £3.
