The Old Prisoner, formerly known as the Sultan, is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. He débuts in the second episode and is portrayed by guest stars Brian George and Amir Arison.
The Old Prisoner is based on the sultan[1] from the "Aladdin" story and the Disney film, Aladdin.
Before First Curse
Sometime in the past, the Sultan, whether he already ascended the throne as ruler of Lower Agrabah or not, meets a woman named Ulima. They are together for a time, and he gifts her a precious ring. For reasons unknown, the relationship ends. Ulima gives birth to his son, Jafar, though he remains ignorant of this. ("Bad Blood")
Later, the Sultan marries an unnamed woman and she gives him an heir, Mirza. One day, a young boy, accused of stealing from one of his guards, is brought into the throne room. The boy does not deny these claims and willingly holds out his hand to be cut off as punishment, to which the Sultan sees the ring on the child that was once his. He learns the boy, Jafar, is Ulima's son. Although he realizes Jafar purposely stole in the hopes of being recognized as his son, the Sultan instead sets him up in the palace as a serving boy. While in a meeting, the Sultan listens to the officials complain about a supply blockade with northern provinces. The Sultan refuses to assist them and turns to ask Mirza to explain why it is so. Mirza states that it is against policy, though he doesn't know which one when questioned by an official. Jafar demonstrates superior knowledge of it being the farm policy, though the Sultan quickly covers for his son's humiliation by saying that in Lower Agrabah even servants are educated. Later, he walks in on Mirza slapping Jafar for his earlier arrogance in outshining him and encourages his son to hit Jafar again, stating that if he is to one day be Sultan, people must fear him. In the washing room, the Sultan apologizes to Jafar as there are things that must be done to make sure children are raised properly. As Jafar goes to dry his face, the Sultan suffocates him to death in the water basin. Afterwards, he has the guards dispose of Jafar's body. Many years later, the Sultan is accosted by a grown up Jafar who storms into the palace throne room. Jafar threatens to kill him, and challenges Mirza to a duel. The Sultan watches in horror as his son attempts to run away and is murdered by Jafar's sorcery. Though Jafar wishes to be acknowledged as his son, the Sultan swears to never give him what he wants. ("Bad Blood")
After First Curse
The ex-Sultan becomes Jafar's prisoner in a lair for many years, and lives in solitary confinement until a much younger man, Cyrus, is captured and thrown into another hanging cage beside his own. One day, as Cyrus wakes with a start, he expresses concern for his well-being. He notices Cyrus' recent arm burns from attempting to reach outside the enclosure, which is an impossible feat since the silver in the cage only causes bodily harm. Though the man tries to distract him with a makeshift chess game, Cyrus is disinterested; drawing a laugh from the latter who wonders if he has something better to do. He watches Cyrus write something on magic paper, fold it into a crane and set it free outside the cage to fly away as a message delivery to his beloved Alice. To the man's dismay, Jafar storms in and yanks Cyrus' cage down enough to begin using physical harm to interrogate him about a bottle. Cyrus is released only when the Red Queen herself strolls in to have an exchange with Jafar. ("Trust Me")
The old prisoner watches as Cyrus is taunted by Jafar and the Red Queen, the two of which have found a message from Alice flying through the lair. They believe it is only a matter of time before Alice makes her first wish, despite Cyrus believing that she will not. The old prisoner is later present when Jafar and the Red Queen research creatures to send after Alice, eventually settling on a Bandersnatch when assuming from a frightened look on Cyrus' face that Alice may not be able to defeat it without sacrificing a wish. This turns out to be untrue, however, and an enraged Jafar slams his staff, causing a shock-wave is sent throughout Wonderland. This rocks both Cyrus and the old prisoner's cages, the latter of which asks Cyrus what that was. Cyrus reveals that it means his plan worked, having set up Jafar and the Red Queen to fail. ("Forget Me Not")
Later, the old prisoner watches Cyrus beg a guard for the remnants of a bone in the hopes of getting even a morsel of meat off of it. After seeing the guard throws him the bone, he expresses pity at Cyrus getting hungry to the point of groveling for scraps. Yet, Cyrus turns around to show it wasn't the food he wanted, but the bone, which turns out to be a wishbone. Cyrus breaks the two ends apart and begins sharping both bones. However, he is discovered by a guard, and the older man warily looks on as one half of the bone is picked up by the henchman and dropped down into the bottomless pit of the lair. Shortly after, Jafar comes to visit Cyrus and gloat about Alice using her first wish and eventually the other two will come to pass as well. The old prisoner meets Jafar's glance, who in turn gives him an expectant nod. Luckily, Cyrus still has the other bone and begins telling the old prisoner about the myth of wishbones. He explains that genies created the lore so people would be misled into thinking they didn't need bottles to be granted wishes. By breaking a wishbone, whoever possesses the larger half can make a wish, or so people believe. In actuality, a wishbone wants the same thing as what others desire; to be joined with their other half. Cyrus demonstrates by placing the bone through a gap at the bottom of his cage, and to the old prisoner's amazement, the other lost half rises from below to reconnect with it. As they stick together, Cyrus uses the whole wishbone to cut a way out of the cage. ("The Serpent")
The old prisoner is subjected to heavy labor of carrying large boulders from the bottom of a staircase to the very top. After he is finished, the guards throw him back into his cage. As he catches his breath, the prisoner tells Cyrus what he was made to do, though the act of moving the boulders has no real purpose. Like Cyrus, he has something Jafar desires but refuses to say what it is. Cyrus continues to carve out of his cage as the old prisoner explains to him that the hallway leads to some stairs that only go downwards. He says there are few guards inside, but this can mean Jafar has more of them set up outside of the lair. Cyrus thinks they can use the darkness at nightfall to their advantage for escaping. The prisoner is more worried about having witnessed others before him attempt to leave, but none have ever made it out. However, he believes Cyrus has enough determination to free himself from the circumstances. At Cyrus' mention of a loved one or family, the prisoner briefly reminisces about having a life once, but it's lost now. This is all the more reason that Cyrus wants to free him, too, so he can begin a new life. Cyrus kicks out the cutout bottom of his cage and swings the enclosure until he is at a near enough distance to make a jump for the platform. He barely makes it just as a guard is approaching to check up on them. The prisoner tries to distract the guard, but the man notices right away that Cyrus is gone from the cage. From behind, Cyrus catches the guard by surprise and pushes him into the bottomless pit. Then, he is thrown a set of keys from Cyrus to open his own cage door. After catching it, the prisoner drops the keys and urges Cyrus to go on without him as he will only slow things down. Cyrus worries what will happen if he leaves him behind, but the prisoner reassures Cyrus that Jafar won't kill him and bids his friend farewell. ("Heart of Stone")
Left behind, he sees the Red Queen come into the lair looking for Jafar. Upon noticing Cyrus is gone, she causes him bodily harm to force out an answer. He refuses to betray Cyrus and only says the genie is guided by true love, which is the most powerful weapon. ("Who's Alice")
After Jafar learns Cyrus escaped, he confronts the old prisoner over the issue. The prisoner attests that Cyrus will soon reunite with Alice while Jafar loses. Though he himself is trapped in a physical cage, the prisoner believes Jafar is the actual one who is imprisoned. Later, Jafar hauls in another captive, Edwin, who the prisoner learns is actually Alice's father. Edwin's stay is extremely short as Jafar comes to take him away to use as leverage against Alice. Much later, the prisoner refuses to talk unless Jafar lets him out of the cage, which the sorcerer allows. Face-to-face, the ex-Sultan once again refuses to ever give what Jafar desires. Jafar smugly asserts that when he finally breaks the laws of magic, the prisoner's cooperation will no longer be necessary. Scathingly, the prisoner expresses regrets in not previously suffocating Jafar for a longer period of time so he'd be dead. However, he takes away the one thing that matters to Jafar—himself—and purposely tries to commit suicide by dropping down into the lair's bottomless pit. His attempt fails as Jafar's carpet catches and brings him back up into his cage. ("Bad Blood")
Once Jafar takes over the Red Queen's former castle and vows to reign as the new ruler, the old prisoner, while still imprisoned in a cage, is witness to it in the throne room. Even though Jafar smugly declares that the throne is now his, the prisoner states that it's only so if the man who sits upon it is worthy enough, and what he's sitting on is nothing but a large chair. When asked if he himself was ever deserving of having a throne once, the prisoner boldly attests that he certainly was; more so than Jafar is. He expresses no qualms about trying to kill Jafar in the past, and bitterly remarks, "If only I had succeeded, the world would be a far better place." The prisoner's words strike such a nerve that Jafar immediately calls for a guard to remove him from the throne room. ("Nothing to Fear")
Jafar begins preparation to cast the spell that breaks the laws of magic, causing the dungeon containing the old prisoner to shake. He asks what is going on, and the Red Queen, who is now imprisoned with him, reveals that it is magic. The old prisoner states he has never seen magic do that, but the Red Queen replies that he would be surprised by the things that magic can do. The old prisoner and the Red Queen later share a conversation, the latter insisting that the old prisoner must hate Jafar for keeping him locked up. However, the old prisoner believes that Jafar is just as much his prisoner as he is Jafar's, stating that they build their own prisons. Alice and Cyrus soon come to their rescue, and the old prisoner and Cyrus share a brief reunion, but this is put on hold when the Jabberwocky arrives to interrogate the Red Queen on why the spell is not working. The old prisoner is later present when Will's heart is returned to him, and Jafar kills the Red Queen. ("Heart of the Matter")
As Jafar openly baits Knave about his deceased lover, the old prisoner angrily shouts at him to stop torturing the man and show some mercy. Admittedly, he regrets the error of his own ways, but is still waiting for Jafar to do the same. Jafar entices Knave into helping him retrieve his stolen serpent staff, which is now in Cyrus' possession. Though the prisoner begs him not to listen, Knave ultimately agrees because the staff, if used to change the laws of magic, can also revive the Red Queen from death. Later on, Alice and Knave infiltrate the castle through the underground tunnel. While Knave is chased away by guards, Alice frees the prisoner. They leave the dungeon, facing more guards, where Alice fights their way through. Suddenly, she wavers in pain; sensing something is wrong with Cyrus. She rushes off to find him as the prisoner stays behind. ("To Catch a Thief")
Once the laws of magic are broken, he attempts to stop Jafar from killing Amara; insisting that there has been enough death and the way to show true power is to be merciful. Spitefully, Jafar inquires about the "mercy" the old prisoner dealt upon him when all he wanted was his father's love. The prisoner reasons that love wasn't something he could just give to him and had to be earned. Tired of excuses, Jafar swiftly uses magic to turn the prisoner's disdain for him into familial adoration, making him become a doting father who showers his son with praise and love. Jafar, in near tears, is pleased by this sudden outpour of affection but admits he desires something else from his father. Touchingly, the prisoner promises to provide whatever he wants. Jafar's mask of vulnerability drops, and in the next instant, icily states that he wishes for his father to know what it feels like to be killed by a loved one. The prisoner's look of confusion quickly turns to shock as an overflow of water gushes out of his mouth. He sinks onto his knees, desperately calling Jafar's name, until finally choking to death.

One day, Jafar makes the Old Prisoner move giant rocks from the bottom of the stone staircase to the top. This is a reference to Sisyphus from Greek mythology, who was punished by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, repeating this action for eternity.

American Family Association distorts Associated Press article on DADT repeal
The American Family Association's One News Now has already begun distorting an Associated Press article about the DADT repeal:
One News Now version:
Despite warnings of a serious disruption in military operations and concerns over prejudice against Christians, the Senate has bowed its knee to homosexual activists and voted to repeal the military ban against gays known as 'don't ask don't tell.'
The Senate agreed on Saturday to do away with the 17-year ban on openly gay troops and sent President Barack Obama legislation to overturn the Clinton-era policy.
Obama was expected to sign the bill into law next week, although changes to military policy probably wouldn't take effect for at least several months. Under the bill, the president and his top military advisers must first certify that lifting the ban won't hurt troops' ability to fight. After that, the military would undergo a 60-day wait period.
The actual Associated Press article:
In a historic vote for gay rights, the Senate agreed on Saturday to do away with the military's 17-year ban on openly gay troops and sent President Barack Obama legislation to overturn the Clinton-era policy known as "don't ask, don't tell."
Also, One News Now omitted portions of the Associated Press article not conducive to the point of view it is trying to push. Portions like the following:
More than 13,500 service members have been dismissed under the 1993 law.
What makes the situation even worse is that One News Now includes the byline of the AP writer Anne Flaherty, thereby making it appear that she wrote the article as it appears on the phony news organization's site.
Oh well, it's not like anyone figured that the American Family Association, or any of the other religious right groups for that matter, would "go gently into that good night" about the DADT repeal.
But it's so predictable. When you can't add anything to the discussion but lies, you become boring. And right now, AFA is making me yawn.
DADT is DEAD!
The Senate voted today by a vote of 65-31 to end the awful policy of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, thereby assuring that gays and lesbians can serve openly in the military.
Granted, President Obama and Secretary of War Gates needs to sign the bill and it will go into effect after 60 days, so this is by no means the end.
The religious right will try to fuel a backlash (and I am waiting for that with my literary Louisville slugger), and there will be some bumps on the road as those who still have a problem with gays and lesbians serving openly in the military will have to deal with the change.
So while we all dance in the streets tonight, let's be mindful of the work that begins tomorrow in order to ensure our hard earned rights. And let's not forget to thank all of those who worked their asses off to get us to this point.
But at the same time, let's not forget the importance of what just took place. This day should teach the lgbt community to never be discouraged and never to deter from the path of legitimacy.
Today is a huge victory for not only the lgbt community, not only America, but for the spirit of hope, change, and the belief that regardless of how things look, goodness and truth will always win in the end.

Senate giving DADT a swift kick in the ass!!!!!!!!
17 year ago . . .
while I was in college, a young man told me that gays don't deserve to be in the military because too many of us engage in "fisting,"
Leaders in the Armed Forces distributed copies of the religious right video "The Gay Agenda," containing the discredited research of Paul Cameron, and
Democrat Senator Sam Nunn led the fight against gays serving openly in the military.
All of this led to that awful policy of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Today . . .
Sam Nunn, now a former Senator, thinks gays should serve openly in the military,
Paul Cameron is suffering a well-deserved public disgrace and his former religious right cohorts are fighting a losing battle against charges of being anti-gay hate groups,
And now, by a vote of 63-33, the Senate has advanced the repeal of DADT, pretty much assuring that gays and lesbians will now be able to serve openly in the military.
Can I get an "amen" for progress?
My only "regret" is that Elaine Donnelly of the so-called Center for Military Readiness will have to find a new job. Oh well, there are plenty of other things she can distort about gay community.

MercadoLibre Plans to Double Down on Its Brazilian Bet Next Year
Fabiola Moura and Vinícius Andrade
Bloomberg 16 October 2019
(Bloomberg) -- MercadoLibre Inc. will "for sure" invest more than 3 billion reais ($718 million) in Brazil next year with a focus on financial services and logistics, Chief Operating Officer Stelleo Tolda said.
MercadoLibre, the e-commerce pioneer in Latin America now worth $28 billion, plans to invest more in its financial services and payments unit while opening more distribution centers and seeking partnerships to cut delivery time further, Tolda said in an interview at Bloomberg's Sao Paulo office.
The early guidance on outlays for next year follows investments of 2 billion reais in Brazil last year and 3 billion reais this year. As competition heats up from the likes of Amazon.com Inc. and local retailers including Magazine Luiza SA and B2W Cia Digital, MercadoLibre is defending its market share of about 33% and looking to get customers to lean heavier on its services for day-to-day shopping and payment solutions, Tolda said.
"We strongly believe in the growth potential of this business, so it's too early to focus only on profitability," said Tolda, who met MercadoLibre's founder Marcos Galperin at Stanford University in the late 90's and has been leading the Brazil business since the start, 20 years ago.
MercadoLibre, based in Buenos Aires but with operations in 18 countries and shares trading in New York, is offering same-day delivery in Sao Paulo and looking to expand its next-day delivery to at least 16 cities in 2020.
The firm currently operates two distribution centers near Sao Paulo and will open facilities in other regions, to speed up its delivery in a country larger than the continental U.S.
Brazilian e-commerce has more than doubled to 68.8 billion reais between 2013 and 2018 and should almost double again through 2023, according to market researcher Euromonitor International.
The newest focus for the company is on the fast-moving train of fintech services courting large parts of the population without bank accounts.
MercadoPago, the payments platform, has been leading growth at the company. The number of transactions more than doubled year-on-year in the second quarter with the value surging 47% to $6.5 billion. That compares to $3.4 billion in gross merchandise value from the marketplace.
"We see opportunities not only in payments, but also in all financial services, including credit, investments and eventually insurance," Tolda said. "MercadoPago is also the way through which we believe we'll have higher recurrence in people's lives."
MercadoLibre needs to invest in marketing for the MercadoPago brand and search out companies to provide payment solutions and individual customers to use the virtual wallet. Offering payment with cards as well as with QR codes, MercadoPago has already cut deals with a wide variety of brick-and-mortar companies in Brazil such as gas stations, drugstores and the Sao Paulo subway.
MercadoLibre doesn't plan to spin off the financial products unit, which it sees as a way to increase interactivity with customers and attract shoppers into its e-commerce platform, Tolda said. Currently, the average Brazilian e-commerce consumer buys an item per month and MercadoLibre wants to intensify the frequency of purchases to at least once a week, Tolda said.
The company recently opened new categories of no-gender fashion and sustainable products in its e-commerce platform to attract younger consumers. It also plans to expand next-day delivery to 16 larger cities, from eight currently, after closing a deal with the cargo unit of airline Azul SA that could help reduce its dependence on the country's post offices.
MercadoLibre has surged 93% year-to-date to $566 on the Nasdaq. That compares to 18% for Amazon, 28% for Alibaba Group Holding and 39% for EBay Inc.
After raising $1.9 billion earlier this year, including a big chunk of it from PayPal Holdings Inc., MercadoLibre is focusing on investment in its core businesses rather than any bold new acquisitions, according to Tolda. Talks are ongoing with PayPal on how to collaborate in several areas despite being competitors.
"Theirs is a traditional online payment model, and we're seeing even greater potential offline than online," with MercadoPago, Tolda said. "It's an interesting path, this idea of 'frenemy,' that exists in the technology market."

History of St. John Academy
St. John was the first Catholic school in Indianapolis. It included both grade and high school. The pastor at St. John's, Reverend Augustine Bessonies, requested the services of the Sisters of Providence to staff the schools. At first, with only 80 students, the outlook for the high school was dim. Later boarding pupils came from Edinburg, Martinsville, Franklin and nearby towns to increase the enrollment.
Shortly after the school was established, the Civil War broke out. At the request of Governor Oliver Morton, the Sisters of Providence took over the administration of the military hospital. The sisters, students of St. John Academy, and members of the parish helped the three sister-nurses, who lived at St. John's Convent, with their support.
In 1872, a three-story building was begun to replace the original school. This building was razed in 1959, when the school closed due to changing economic conditions. "Good old St. John's" was the source of many vocations to the sisterhood, many excellent students for higher education, and many excellent wives, mothers and business women in the City of Indianapolis.

Last week, I ran a workshop on Imposter Syndrome with my coaching partner Nicky Chambers at The Conduit members' club. The Conduit asked us to write a blog for their website, so I thought I'd share it here too.
Dry mouth. Racing heart. Sweaty palms. Breathlessness. For many of us, this how we might feel on a Sunday night after the latest episode of Line of Duty.
They're all common physical responses to fear and excitement. Which is why they might also be feelings that you recognise if you have ever experienced Imposter Syndrome. Because your body might well have reacted in the same way, causing you to experience some of the same physical symptoms.
Imposter Syndrome is something that we see crop up a lot in our work with clients. The Harvard Business review describes it as "A collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist, despite evidence of success".
If you have ever experienced it, you're in good company. High achievers from Maya Angelou and Meryl Street to Sheryl Sandberg and Albert Einstein have talked about experiencing it. It's also much more common that you might think - around 70% of us feel it and it's often linked to perfectionism. Both men and women experience it – although women seem to be much more open to talking about it.
And while it might be common, that doesn't mean it's any less horrible to deal with.
If one or more of these negative thoughts ring true for you, it might be helpful to know that it's likely that you're being fed them by your Inner Critic (or Saboteur) – those harsh, negative voices that are designed to hold us back, and to keep us playing safe and small.
When we are in a situation that we interpret as stressful, our brains get flooded with hormones telling us to fight, flight or freeze. This is a hangover from prehistoric times – it's our limbic system – our reptilian or "chimp" brain. Our brains still interpret events in terms of life threatening threats or possible life-saving rewards. Also, as social animals we're hard wired to worry about what other people think - our very survival once depended on it – so the physical response you have when your Imposter Syndrome kicks in is an entirely normal physiological response.
BUT. That doesn't mean it's helpful, or that it serves us well. Because the messages that our Inner Critic tell us are usually harsh, emotional, worse case scenario, catastrophising, assumptive thinking rubbish. Our Inner Critics are mind readers – but they tend to make up negative stories, rather than telling us that other people are thinking wonderful thoughts about us.
So it can be useful to be able to see your Inner Critic for what it is in order to manage Imposter Syndrome. Even though that voice can sometimes feel like you – it isn't. It's your Inner Critic.
The obvious step is to ignore our Inner Critics, and to instead talk to ourselves rationally, and with compassion and kindness. This is a skill that we can all learn, but it takes practice.
Sometimes with our clients, we try another approach, and ask them to talk to themselves the way that they would to their best friend. Someone that they care about deeply, that they love dearly, and that they usually talk to with kindness and compassion.
The next time your Imposter Syndrome kicks in, rather than choosing to engage with your Inner Critic, instead, imagine that you're talking to a good friend and have a conversation with yourself.
1. What advice would you give yourself?
2. What's going on in your body when you talk to yourself from the perspective of a good friend? What's different?
3. What emotions do you feel?
What we're inviting you to do with this exercise is to look at things from a different perspective. One of kindness and compassion – which is rarely where our Inner Critics are coming from. When our clients try this, more often than not, they discover a more rational, less emotional, more balanced analysis of a situation. Choosing to explore things from a "good friend" perspective allows them to see things differently. To know that while worst case scenarios and catastrophies are some of the reasons why we love Line of Duty, we can choose not to engage with the drama of our Inner Critics.


In the next few days I am going to teach people how to get set up with several different statistic counters – stats. Three of these that I like are Cluster Maps, Stat Counter, and Map Stats. You can take a peek at them on my sidebar ahead of time if you want. Sometimes Map Stats disappears but it is often there. So, make sure you come by the next few days!
A new Friendship blogger award !
This is a nice added bonus that people are creating awards to appreciate others on the blogosphere – yet another nice connection! The awards and the stats will go quite nicely together! Please share what you are up to!
I had a tough day…it's nice that you always ask us what we are up to. I really enjoy talking into cyberspace… ROUGH day, time to relax. Tomorrow will be a better day!
As a fellow recipient, I congratulate you. Your painting today reminds me of a tortoise that has been taken completely apart and is being watched over by an owl. Such is my sleep deprived mind working now. Help, I'm seeing things!
Oh, I forgot to say what I am up to. Well, I just handed out an award to a very deserving woman, so I feel I did a good deed. I am short of sleep and my mood is shaky. The vacuum cleaner keeps calling me from the closet, but I keep ignoring its desperate calls. I want to have my head screwed on straight, but it keeps getting undone a bit. Doubtless because my sleeping schedule is messed up. I want to feel kindly about the world, but I just got a rotten phone call that burst a bubble. Now I have to continue another battle that I thought was already fought. The animals are doing well and are excellent company keepers. They are mostly quiet and adoring, which is what I need. Good art makes the heart cheerful, so I look at that. Thanks Diane!
Congratulations!!! You deserve it a million times! Yay!!!
Hi Julie, I am so sorry you had a rough day! I hope today was better!
HI Irene, I love your analysis! Congrats on your award too!
Hi Neda, thank you so much!
Terrific write up about Received "Nice Matters" Award. Thoroughly love this view.

Brown v. Davenport
October 5, 2021, Argued; April 21, 2022, Decided
No. 20-826.
Justice Gorsuch delivered the opinion of the Court.
After a state court determines that an error at trial did not prejudice a criminal [*8] defendant, may a federal court grant habeas relief based solely on its independent assessment of the error's prejudicial effect under Brecht v. Abrahamson, 507 U. S. 619, 113 S. Ct. 1710, 123 L. Ed. 2d 353 (1993)? Or must a federal court also evaluate the state court's decision under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA)? The Sixth Circuit ruled that an individual who satisfies Brecht alone is entitled to habeas relief. This was mistaken. ] When a state court has ruled on the merits of a state prisoner's claim, a federal court cannot grant relief without first applying both the test this Court outlined in Brecht and the one Congress prescribed in AEDPA.
One evening in 2007, Annette White attended a gathering with Ervine Davenport. On the drive home, Mr. Davenport killed Ms. White. At trial, the only questions concerned why and how. Mr. Davenport claimed self-defense and testified to that effect. On his account, Ms. White grew angry during the trip and tried to grab the steering wheel from him while he was driving. Then she pulled out a box cutter and cut his arm. Mr. Davenport responded by extending one arm and pinning Ms. White against the passenger side of the car, with his hand under her chin. Eventually, she stopped struggling. On discovering that Ms. White was no longer breathing, Mr. Davenport [*9] panicked and left her body in a field.
The prosecution offered a very different version of events. It stressed that Ms. White was 5'2" tall, 103 pounds, and had a broken wrist, while Mr. Davenport was 6'5" tall and weighed nearly 300 pounds. The prosecution presented evidence that Mr. Davenport had bragged to others before the killing that, if he had a problem with someone, he would choke the person. Days before Ms. White's death, Mr. Davenport had done just that—strangling another woman until she lost consciousness and urinated on herself. Nor, on the prosecution's account, were Mr. Davenport's actions after Ms. White's death consistent with his claim of self-defense. Instead of contacting the police, he not only abandoned his victim's body. He also fled the scene and later visited Ms. White's home where he stole electronics and food. He told a witness, too, that he "had to off " Ms. White.

Becky Rodman
Artist of the Month: November 2021
Article written by Libby Boucher
Guemes Island is home to many things – beautiful beaches, lush forests, abundant wildlife, and a Cremonese style violin/viola maker. What, exactly, does that mean? The answer is quite impressive. Cremonese style instrument making means that they are all hand-made without the use of electric tools, exactly as the Masters made them in the 17th century…Masters who include the families of Amati, Stradivari, Guarneri, and others.
Inspired in her violin making by these Masters, Becky Rodman spent 14 years, from 2000-2014, in Cremona, Italy learning her art. She starts with a form and a piece of spruce tonewood for the top, a piece of maple for the back, ribs and scroll, and ebony for the fingerboard, pegs and tailpiece. It takes her about 3 months to complete an instrument. In the past 5 years, she has been specializing in smaller size violas (around 40 cm in the body of the instrument) that have a good sound and are easy to play.
Becky has been playing for most of her life – about 65 years. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Music – violin performance – from UCLA in 1970. She plays both violin and viola professionally and is currently in four Orchestras in Los Angeles and also in three String Quartets. She ran the San Juan Islands Chamber Music Festival on Guemes Island from 1990 to 2002.
I asked Becky what she does when she isnot creating her art. "I am passioate about helping emerging artists in their musical aspirations and careers. This often intersects with playing chamber music with musicians from all over the world." She is also an avid traveler and has been to every continent except Australia. A recent highlight was Antarctica in December 2019. She enjoys hiking, gardening, and being with her family and friends.
The story of how she came to Guemes is much like others who come here – Family. Her aunt and uncle bought property in Seaway Hollow in 1954 and she spent time on the island in the summers from 1958 until now. She honeymooned with her former husband here in 1971 and they were able to purchase a property here in 1989.
Her art is not for sale, but she has a Foundation (Fondazione Maestro Cremona) where she loans her instruments free of charge to emerging artists. She is also happy to give a tour of her workshop to anyone who is interested. Feel free to call or email her to set up an appointment.

So here we are at the end of an era; the final Kojima-edited Metal Gear Solid trailer. Metal Gear Solid V doesn't actually 'launch' on PC until 1 September, but this is, nonetheless, the launch trailer.
It has a retrospective theme (at least for the first half or so), looking back at Kojima's previous Metal Gear Solid titles and revisiting some memorable moments. At least, I presume that's what's happening. I'm not the most familiar with the Metal Gear Solid narrative.
Around the mid-way point there's a scene which could be a gigantic spoiler, but almost certainly isn't. I mean, it would be kind of silly for that to be a spoiler and not just a visual metaphor. But you never know with Kojima, do you? I mention it anyway, just in case.
The latter half of the trailer (post three minutes or so) does kind of spoil some stuff you'll see in Metal Gear Solid V, but only in a 'new hardware' sort of way. If you want to go in totally blind I guess you won't want to see it, but it should be fine for everyone else.
We're hoping for good things from both the game itself and the PC version here at PC Invasion. The Ground Zeroes port was pretty splendid, so that bodes fairly well for MGSV too.

Some people feel too intimidated or afraid to trying to make their own cosmetics, bath products, skin creams and makeup and their own fragrances, but there really isn't a need to be intimidated. Decorative soaps are easily made and the savings are amazing because most of these products are made from items right out of your home.

Los Angeles Camera Crew with Billie Jean King, Emma Stone and CBS Sports
Posted 26 Jan in Los Angeles Video Camera Crew	by	Kristie Wakefield
The movie "Battle of the Sexes" celebrates the 44th anniversary of the historic tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs that was both spectacle and sport and became a pivotal moment in the history of the women's movement. Our Los Angeles camera crew was happy to hit the "green carpet" with CBS Sports to talk with the stars of the movie, Emma Stone, Steve Carell, and even Billie Jean King herself.
Big Hitter Tennis Icon Billie Jean King
Billie Jean King dominated the tennis courts in the 60's and 70's. She won 39 Grand Slam titles, 20 Wimbledon championship titles, and most famously, she won the "Battle of the Sexes" match at 29 years old against 55-year-old Bobby Riggs. She founded the Women's Tennis Association and Women's Sports Foundation. King is regarded as one of the best tennis players in history, but almost more notably, she is a huge advocate for gender equality and social justice. That's why they decided to highlight her fight for justice through a tennis match by making the movie, "Battle of the Sexes," the match that is considered a milestone in the public acceptance of women's tennis. She really used her platform for social change.
Big Hitter Award-Winning Actress Emma Stone
Emma Stone portrayed Billie Jean King in the film, "Battle of the Sexes." She is an Oscar-winning actress who has starred in hit films like La La Land, Birdman, The Help and Easy A. For this role she put on 15 pounds of muscle working on her game, but more importantly, she got to work very closely with King to learn about her trials, tribulations, and successes firsthand. Stone was thrilled to meet King and learn that "even one voice can make a huge difference."
Big Hitters in Women's Tennis Now
Names you know in women's tennis now because of Billie Jean King: Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, and more. Things women in tennis now have because of Billie Jean King: their own tour (the WTA Tour), equal winnings for the Grand Slams (as of 2007), and the largest payday of any player (man or woman).
CBS Sports was helping to collect footage for the upcoming Billie Jean King biopic. Who better to highlight than a strong woman who fights for the rights of other women. Love and equality were themes of the premiere night. So happy to have been in on the action and appreciation.

A Chemical in Antibacterial Soaps May Impair Muscle Function
In recent years, our lexicon been bombarded with antibacterial products. Hand sanitizer dispensers are found all over the place, including my local YMCA. The shopping cart corral at the market usually has a canister of antibacterial wipes handy for the handle. Who knows what germs and other "ickies" infested the hands of the person who used it prior, right? Or at least that's the idea.
Surely, much of this dialogue is the result of opportunistic marketing fed, in part, by media attention given to the contagiousness of sickness or disgusting sources of some germs. Every year there's a new and advanced doom and gloom illness brooding over us, and every year we're told immunizations are the key to avoiding it. Not preventative measures, not keeping your immune system strong. Just shut up, get a shot, and don't worry about the cold, bird flu, swine flu, giraffe flu, or, perhaps this year, the Brazilian toad flu.
The controversies surrounding immunizations and vaccinations are a separate topic, but I mention them to highlight the prevalence of this proverbial notion that the best answer to a buzzing mosquito is a hand grenade.
Helpful Products May Be Detrimental
In the early 1970's, a chemical called Triclosan was introduced, and used in hospital and surgical environments as an antibacterial product. Since then, it's made its way into consumer products like soap, toothpaste, and other personal care wares. What's wrong with hospital-grade, bacteria killing chemicals being added to cosmetics and other household items most of us use every day? A lot.
There is a fundamental and wide spread misconception that "anti-bacterial" equals better. An article entitled "Consumer Antibacterial Soaps: Effective or Just Risky?" that appeared in the journal, Clinical Infectious Diseases concludes that antibacterial soaps show no health benefits over plain soaps [1]. We've also heard concern about resistant bacterial strains developing with the overuse of antibacterial products. Most of the public is already terrified of big bad bacteria, the last thing we need is to promote the development of the "Incredible Hulk" version.
Very Detrimental
Triclosan, specifically, has its own batch of concerns. Researchers have linked it to muscle and strength concerns [2]. Fish exposed to Triclosan were observed to have trouble swimming and were made more vulnerable to predators - that's not comforting. It shouldn't come as a surprise, the chemical makeup of Triclosan is similar to other environmental toxins and studies are re-evaluating its risk assessment and whether it should be included in consumer products... forty years after its introduction and subsequent infection into a huge list of common products. What damage has already been caused by this exposure?
Every year we battle a new variation of the flu. And every year, toxic, common chemicals, like Triclosan, get shuffled from the "good" column to the "bad." Personally, I'd rather take my chances with the flu.

A well established Swiss company processing natural stone was looking for new markets and a location, where greater series could be produced at more competitive costs. A member of the management team has roots in Serbia and initiated first sales into the growing construction market in this region.
In the new plant in Prijepolje all formerly in Switzerland applied processes were reviewed and optimized in order to establish a modern facility. Besides using the increased capacity for both markets, the company also benefits from more efficient raw material management. The company employs over 50 workers, partly trained in Switzerland.

12th round of Astana Process peace talks advances work to launch constitutional committee
By Elya Altynsarina in International on 28 April 2019
NUR-SULTAN – Parties to the 12th round of Astana Process Syrian peace talks April 26 in the Kazakh capital continued efforts to launch a Constitutional Committee to bring peace to Syria.
Photo credit: mfa.kz.
The committee is seen by the sides in the conflict as a way to achieve political reform and hold elections to unify the country.
Despite trilateral efforts and agreements reached in January 2018 during the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi, Russia, a final decision to launch the committee has not been reached.
Recently appointed United Nations Secretary-General Special Envoy for Syria Geir O. Pedersen participated in the most recent two-day talks in Nur-Sultan and said the parties will hasten efforts to launch the Constitutional Committee as soon as possible.
Pedersen left open the possibility another meeting might take place in Geneva before consensus on the committee is reached. The Astana Process talks are meant to enhance the efforts of the Geneva talks.
The situation in Syria's Idlib de-escalation area was also discussed during the talks and remains a serious concern. Nearly three million people remain under control of the former affiliate of Al-Qaeda, a terrorist organisation Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
The Astana Process guarantor states Turkey, Russia and Iran reaffirmed their determination to maintain previous agreements to stabilise Idlib and committed to enhance the patrolling and functioning of the Joint Iranian-Russian-Turkish Coordination Centre there. These and other measures would seek to reduce violations in the Idlib de-escalation area.
The sides called upon the international community to continue supporting Syrians and expediting humanitarian aid and recovery projects without any preconditions.
In a joint statement adopted by the three guarantor states, the sides suggested increasing the number of observers of the Astana format and agreed to invite Iraq and Lebanon to join the Astana format.
The next round of Astana Process talks will take place in Nur-Sultan in July.

WNKY is the NBC and CBS-affiliated television station for South Central Kentucky licensed to Bowling Green. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 16 (virtual channel 40.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Pilot Knob in Smiths Grove along I-65. Owned by Max Media, WNKY has studios on Emmett Avenue in Bowling Green.
WNKY can also be seen on Time Warner Cable channels 7 (SD) and 906 (HD), as well as Dish Network channel 40. It is also available on South Central Rural Telephone Cooperative (SCRTC) cable channels 7 and 307.
Although granted a construction permit in 1983, the station did not begin broadcasting until December 17, 1989. At its sign-on, the outlet operated as an Independent under the call sign WQQB. Airing an analog signal on UHF channel 40, the station had a general entertainment format with a mixture of low-budget syndicated programming, like old movies, sitcoms, and cartoons. In its early days, the picture and sound quality of the station was very poor resulting in a low-budget feel. Programs would often broadcast mis-tracked, sticking, and skipping. Sometimes, the picture would appear clear but the sound would consist of complete static. It had little presence in the market at the time; indeed, most residents didn't even know it existed.

A hackathon for middle and high school girls: Why we held Coding Cup
Ashley Waxman
Many young women love engineering and technology but by the time they reach college and the job market, far too many of them have been discouraged to follow their passion and drop out of the field. The National Girls Collaborative Project reports that while female and male students enroll in advanced math and science courses at comparable rates, women ultimately receive far fewer degrees in computer science and engineering (17.9% and 19.3% of degrees, respectively).
Shelby Wingo, Recruiting Coordinator at MuleSoft, saw this gap between girls' formative years and then their time in college and careers as unacceptable, and she wanted the tech community to do something about it. "We had just formed a Women at MuleSoft group at our annual company-wide Meetup, so I had the topic of women in tech on the brain," Shelby explained. "I was frustrated that the conversation in the community was mostly talk and not enough action. Furthermore, the conversation often points to a pipeline issue, but it really starts at the beginning, preparing girls for a future in a world full of technology."
Along with a few Muleys, Shelby created a task force to launch the first-ever Coding Cup, a free hackathon for middle- and high school-aged girls with the purpose of building a community of young engineers and giving them the tools to continue on a path in computer science and engineering, all in a fun-filled, information- (and swag)-packed day. We held the event just a few weeks ago, and the impact has been huge.
Connecting the tech community
"We thought a hackathon would be a creative way for young girls to learn something new," said Shelby. "I also knew that this is a topic that's important to the greater tech community, so I wanted to get as many people from the outside involved as well."
The Coding Cup team engaged tech companies across San Francisco, and got overwhelming support and enthusiasm from companies like Twitter, Twilio, Okta, Periscope Data, Hack Reactor, Girls Who Code, and more. These companies provided not only monetary sponsorship for things like breakfast, lunch, and prizes, but also awesome swag for the girls to bring home, notebooks for the day, and mentors who volunteered their time to teach the girls basic coding skills and guide them to building a unique and inspiring project.
Liz Hubertz, Computer Scientist with Adobe Typekit and one of the Coding Cup mentors, shared the story of a high schooler on her team whose only prior experience was at a short summer program: "She was the only girl in her class, and she said none of the boys wanted to be friends with her. As a result, she lost interest early on," Liz explained. "At this age, it's easy to convince girls that engineering is awesome if it's presented well. What's harder is keeping them engaged, which includes fostering an environment where they feel accepted for who they are, can make friends, and are encouraged to express their creativity."
The event: "Connect your world"
Building off of the MuleSoft mission to connect the world's apps, data, and devices, we devised a hackathon project that invited the girls to connect their world, taking the APIs from their favorite apps and connecting them together to create something new. Girls formed teams of up to five based on experience level, and each team had two mentors to make sure the girls were not only learning, but successful in building their projects.
"The girls on my team didn't come in with coding experience, but they still left with a fantastic app built out from wireframes to business model," said Liz. "What I think was key about Coding Cup in making this possible was its focus on learning and collaboration, as opposed to strict competition. This really opened the girls up to creative experimentation and connecting with other girls at the event."
The aspiring engineers built their projects using App Inventor, "an innovative beginner's introduction to programming and app creation that transforms the complex language of text-based coding into visual, drag-and-drop building blocks." One of the highlights of the day was having Ellen Spertus, Professor of Computer Science at Mills College and the inventor of App Inventor, provide an inspiring keynote presentation. Both Ellen and Maren Lau, CMO at IMS Internet Media Services, gave talks that highlighted the great work they've done in the field and the contributions of women in technology over the past century.
"The world is our oyster"
Liz's team of novice coders built Home World, a social network that leverages Instagram with different feeds for your interests, like art, writing, or philosophy, so that you can connect with people who share your interests. All the projects were both impressive for the skill level and amount of time the girls had, and equally inspiring, but at the end of the day, we chose four winners who received prizes like mini drones, Beats by Dre headphones, and Amazon gift cards (thanks to our sponsors!)
Overall winner: Mentor Meet — This app matches mentors with people interested in learning at meetups and hackathons. It integrates with the Facebook and Google Maps APIs.
Most creative: Solteria — A tool for women to help them stay safe at night walking home. This innovative app provides scheduled check-ins that alert your emergency contact if you do not check in that you're home safe; a "fake call from mom" that lets you push a button to receive a fake call to get out of a bad situation; and a whistle alert, which uses a panic button that raises a very loud whistle. This app integrates with Android APIs to deliver these different functionalities.
Intermediate award: SpotiLingo — A fusion app merging the features of Spotify for music and DuoLingo for language learning, it allows you to choose the language you want to learn and then suggests playlists based on that language.
Beginners' award: Top Ten Music Now — Display the most current top music hits from different genres in an app that integrates the Spotify API, it also filters top 10 songs by country. At the end of this project, the girls on the team said, "It was a rough start, but after a while, we started to get the hang of it. We learned that as a team, we can accomplish anything we want. The world is our oyster."
One of the most important components to Coding Cup wasn't even the event itself, but giving the girls a community of support and tools to continue to follow their interests in computer science and engineering. Girl Geek Academy, an organization committed to raising the profile of women in technology, donated a fully paid membership to each Coding Cup attendee. The membership lets the girls register their projects in the community and includes first access to events, personal branding, and more. Additionally, Box donated two paid memberships to Code School, which offers hands-on programming courses.
These tools are already working: One participant took it upon herself to bring the idea of girls coding together to her high school. She wrote to us, "I had such a great time at Coding Cup, I thought, why don't I make a Girls Who Code club at my school? This event inspired me to make a club to give other girls at my school the opportunity to go to events just like Coding Cup! To my astonishment, more than 30 girls signed up and are more than excited to learn how to program."
"It's really amazing the amount of people who were energized by this initiative and felt it was something that was worth their time. I'm really grateful for the people at MuleSoft and the larger tech community for giving this event a chance," said Shelby. "I'm so excited about the momentum that Coding Cup has had. It's already paying off."

This project involved the design and construction of a new 3000 pallet space warehouse on the existing food production site in Ossett for Newly Weds Foods.
- A perimeter precast concrete wall with horizontal Kingspan cladding wall panels.
- Built Up roof cladding complete with 10 to 15% rooflights and high level composite vertical wall cladding.
- The building had a concrete floor with added treatment for hardness and durability.
- Six loading docks were formed with two closed off unfinished for future expansion.
- The building is unheated so the services incorporated were lighting, fire alarm and small power. Access control and data points were wired by our client's direct supplier.
- External turning areas for articulated vehicle movement.
"Largely through your efforts and the quality execution of the work by the Lindum Group, I can finally say I have been able to complete a project that meets the planned scope of work, on time and, as importantly, within the budget! I really appreciate your major contribution to this project. Please pass my thanks onto Chris Conroy at Lindum Group."

Jay Robinson (born November 7, 1959) is an American auto racing executive who is a part-owner of Premium Motorsports (previously known as Jay Robinson Racing). Prior to this, Robinson earned his wealth in the wholesale grocery business.

Racing career

Driver
Robinson first competed in the NASCAR All-American Series in 1998 and 1999.

In 2000, he won six races in the series.

Team owner

Jay Robinson Racing

Xfinity Series

Robinson first competed as a team owner in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2000. The team's first race was the Myrtle Beach 250 at Myrtle Beach Speedway with Rodney Childers driving the #49 Southern Marine Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Childers started 33rd and finished 43rd (out of 43 cars) due to a crash after 69 laps.

The team generally competed with different drivers in a particular car throughout the season. The first season the team competed with the same driver was when Kenny Wallace drove the #28 United States Border Patrol Chevrolet Impala SS in 2008. That season, Wallace got a best finish of 7th at the U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway. Wallace would also finish 11th in the final point standings.

Robinson's team competed in the series through 2011, getting a best finish of 3rd place with Wallace at the 2011 Kroger On Track for the Cure 250 at Memphis Motorsports Park.

Later in their history, the team often used the practice of starting and parking (starting a race with no intention of finishing the race to collect the prize money) to fund their primary car. Robinson said of this activity, "The 28 car wouldn't run without the start-and-park car. No chance. These haulers haul two cars. If you bring both of them in one transporter, you can make the numbers work out. If I brought only one car, I couldn't make it work without more sponsorship. We'd race the 49 tomorrow, too, if there was a way."

Robinson-Blakeney Racing
Robinson partnered with Houston, Texas, Texas businessman Troy Blakney to form Robinson-Blakeney Racing.

Cup Series
In the Cup Series in 2012, the team fielded the #49 America Israel Racing/JPO Absorbents Toyota Camry with J. J. Yeley and later Jason Leffler serving as the drivers.

Yeley drove the car through the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Yeley's best finish in the car was a 30th-place finish at the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Leffler then attempted six races later in the season, qualifying for three of them. The best finish by Leffler in the car also came at Bristol, as he finished 31st at the Irwin Tools Night Race.

Following the season, most of the team's equipment was put up for auction.

Xfinity Series
The team also competed in the Xfinity Series in 2012 with Yeley, David Green, Derrike Cope, Kevin Lepage and Tony Raines driving the #28 JPO Absorbents Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.

Lepage would get the finish for the team, finishing 31st at the Ford EcoBoost 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

NEMCO-JRR Motorsports

Prior to the 2013 season, Robinson merged his team with Joe Nemechek's NEMCO Motorsports.

Cup Series

Nemechek drove the #87 Toyota Camry in 34 races, qualifying for 33 of them, getting a best finish of 25th place at the Camping World RV Sales 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Tomy Drissi also drove the car at the two road course races, finishing 38th at the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway and 42nd, due to a crash, at the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen at Watkins Glen International.

Xfinity Series
Nemechek also drove the #87 AM/FM Energy Wood & Pellet Stoves/England's Stove Works Toyota Camry in 28 of 33 Xfinity Series races in 2013, with Lepage and Johnny Sauter driving the car at the Iowa Speedway races.

During the season, Nemechek got a best finish of 14th place at the Royal Purple 300 at Auto Club Speedway. Despite missing five races, Nemechek finished 19th in the final point standings with 513 points.

Identity Ventures Racing

Prior to the 2014 season, Nemechek and Robinson created a partnership with five business leaders, including housing investor Nat Hardwick. Michael Waltrip Racing later joined the team as a partner.

Cup Series
The fielded the #66 BlueDEF Diesel Exhaust Fluid/Land Castle Title/Royal Teak Collection Toyota Camry with Michael Waltrip, Nemechek, Jeff Burton, Brett Moffitt, Drissi, Timmy Hill and Mike Wallace driving at various points in the year. The car was run out of Waltrip's shop when Waltrip, Burton and Moffitt drove the car. Separate cars for the team were also driven by Nemechek, Hill and Wallace

Burton got the best finish in the car with a 17th-place finish at the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Moffitt got the best finish in the car when it came out of Robinson's shop with a 22nd-place finish at the FedEx 400 at Dover International Speedway.

It was later revealed that Hardwick embezzled at least $30 million from his companies, causing him and Land Castle Title (a company he was chief executive officer of) to be removed from the team.

Premium Motorsports

After Identity Ventures' demise, Robinson reformed the team as Premium Motorsports.

Cup Series

The team started to compete in the Cup Series in 2015. Like Robinson's earlier Xfinity Series team, the team often uses multiple drivers in a car throughout the season.

Since entering the Cup Series, Robinson has purchased various teams and folded them into his organization. These purchases started with purchasing Tommy Baldwin Racing's second car (namely the owners points and equipment). Robinson subsequently purchased Phil Parsons Racing in 2015, Hillman Racing in 2016 and the remainder of Baldwin's team in 2017.

At the 2016 AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, #55 Toyota Camry driven by Reed Sorenson was sponsored by Donald Trump's Presidential campaign, which proved to be controversial.

A car owned by Robinson got its first top 10 finish in a Cup Series race when Michael Waltrip finished in 9th place at the 2017 Daytona 500.

Truck Series
Premium Motorsports also began to compete in the Truck Series in 2015. The made their debut at the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway with Travis Kvapil driving the #94 Chargebacks 911/MerchantSystems.com Chevrolet Silverado. Kvapil qualified 2nd, but finished 15th, seven laps down.

In 2017, Wendell Chavous started 21 of 23 races for the team, getting a best finish of 14th place at the Las Vegas 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Chavous would finish 16th in the final standings with 348 points.
