HIV, AIDS Therapy Developer Heads to Court in Company Feud
By Los Angeles Business Journal
Harry Zhabilov Jr. was following in his father's footsteps when he became an executive at Viral Genetics Inc. five years ago.
The Bulgarian scientist Harry Zhabilov Sr. co-founded the San Marino biotech company for his HIV and AIDS treatment research. His immune-based therapy has become Viral Genetics' chief product. It was clinically tested in South Africa, where it is nearing commercialization.
But a lot has gone wrong lately. Zhabilov Jr. was fired from the company built by his father, who died in 2002, and he now stands accused of trying to bankrupt the company and steal the intellectual property related to his father's research.
The dispute stepped up when Viral Genetics filed a lawsuit earlier this month in Los Angeles state court claiming that Zhabilov Jr. was colluding with Chicago-based Timothy & Thomas LLC to improperly divert intellectual property to that company.
The company also alleges that while he was executive vice president of research and development and a board member, Zhabilov Jr. "had been involved in an effort to bankrupt Viral Genetics" by approving a convertible debenture that increased the company's debt and devalued its stock through dilution.
In 2006, after discovering Zhabilov Jr.'s alleged misconduct, Viral Genetics terminated his employment.
Viral Genetics' attorney, Los Angeles-based Steven Berliner, declined to comment on the pending litigation. Calls to the company for comment were not returned.
Zhabilov Jr. couldn't be located for comment. He has not been served with the lawsuit, which implies that the company is having trouble locating him.
Timothy & Thomas representatives could not be reached.
Intellectual property litigators said disputes between biotech companies and their researchers often escalate into legal battles, especially when the dispute involves the rights to a medical treatment with significant potential value.
What is unusual about this case is that Viral Genetics was co-founded by Zhabilov Sr. and is now in a legal battle with Zhabilov Jr.
"The assets here happen to be patents on a type of drug that obviously could have great value, including financial value," said Ben Davidson, a litigation partner in the Los Angeles office of Howrey LLP who is not involved in the case.
The allegations against Zhabilov Jr. are especially pointed.
"The complaint talks about Viral Genetics' IP and it seems to be that he was plotting to move it to Timothy & Thomas. That would be a shocking allegation if true," said R. Joseph Trojan, a Beverly Hills-based intellectual property lawyer who also is not involved in the case.
The lawsuit alleges fraud and deceit, which means Viral Genetics can seek punitive damages against Zhabilov Jr., according to intellectual property litigators. Punitive damages can reach multimillion-dollar sums.
"Punitive damages come down to the value of the technology," said John Carpenter, an IP partner at Pasadena-based Christie Parker & Hale LLP who is not involved in the case, "and whether the technology gave the other company a lead time or advance they wouldn't otherwise have had."
Developing troubles
Viral Genetics was founded in 1995. The company's researchers study therapies designed to boost the immune system's ability to fight illness. The principal product developed by Zhabilov Sr., called VGV-1, has been shown in South African clinical tests to lower the levels of HIV in the bloodstream.
The company, which has four Harvard University professors on its scientific advisory board, is still in predevelopment phases of the HIV treatment in the United States. The therapy is being researched through a joint venture with the University of Colorado and a biology professor there, Karen Newell.
Viral Genetics is listed on the Pink Sheets. The company's stock hasn't traded above $1 since June 2002. In a March report, an analyst said Viral Genetics has no meaningful revenue. In a September 2007 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Viral Genetics stated that it had incurred a deficit of $55 million, and was in need of funding to continue research and development.
The legal conflict began in 2006 when Viral Genetics was sued in Illinois federal court by Timothy & Thomas, which claimed Viral Genetics misrepresented its ownership of the therapy in order to solicit its investment.
In the Illinois federal lawsuit, Timothy & Thomas executives Timothy Wright and Tom Little claim that Viral Genetics Chief Executive Haig Keledjian approached them in 2003 about investing in the company.
Court documents show that Little made an initial investment of $200,000 after being told that Viral Genetics was developing a promising treatment for HIV and AIDS, and that the company owned the exclusive and worldwide rights to those treatments. In the suit, Little and Wright claimed that they invested more than $6 million to fund South African clinical trials of Viral Genetics' HIV and AIDS treatment, but they alleged Viral Genetics had misrepresented its ownership of the rights and never funded its portion of the cost of the South African clinical trial.
Viral Genetics denied the allegations, according to court documents, and it filed a countersuit accusing Timothy & Thomas of trying hijack the company's technology.
It was during that litigation that Viral Genetics claims it discovered Zhabilov Jr. was trying to undermine the company and it terminated his employment.
A biotech company in San Marino is accusing a fired executive of attempting to divert intellectual property to another company.
WHAT'S UNUSUAL:
The accused former executive is the son of the company's founder.
THE BACKSTORY:
The two companies have a history of bad blood.


Management is the science and art of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives by coordinating and integrating all available resources efficiently and effectively.
Management can be defined as all the activities and tasks were undertaken for the purpose of archiving an objective or goal by continuous activities like; planning, organizing, leading and controlling.
Management is the combined or interchanged process of planning, decision making, organizing, leading, motivation and controlling the human resources, financial, physical, and information resources of an organization to reach its goals in an efficient and effective manner.
To understand the definition of management and its nature, a threefold concept of management for emplacing a broader scope for the viewpoint of management.
From the point of view of an economist, management is one of the factors of production together with land, labor, and capital.
As the industrialization of a nation increases, the need for management becomes greater.
The managerial resources of a firm determine, in large measure, its productivity and profitability. Executive development, therefore, is more important for those firms in a dynamic industry in which progress is rapid.
From an administrator's point of view, management is a system of authority. Historically, management first developed an authoritarian philosophy.
Later on, it turned paternalistic.
Still, later, constitutional management emerged, characterized by a concern for consistent policies and procedures for dealing with the working group.
Finally, the trend of management turned towards a democratic and participatory approach.
Modern management is nothing but a synthesis of these four approaches to authority.
As viewed by a sociologist, management is a class-and-status system.
The increase in the complexity of relationships in modern society demands that managers become elite of brain and education.
Entry into this class of executives is being more and more dependent on excellence in education and knowledge rather than family or political connections.
Some scholars view this development as "Managerial Revolution".
But you might have a different point of view about management but the purpose of it remain static; reach the goal in an effective and efficient manner.
It is a set of activates directed at an organization's resources with the aim of achieving organizational goals in an efficient and effective manner.
The basic managerial functions or activities are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
These activities are undertaken by the managers to combine all resources (human, financial, physical, information) efficiently and effectively to work toward achieving the goals of the organization.
Management as a systematic process of planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. As managers, people carry out the managerial functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling.
The concepts and activities of management apply to all levels of management, as well as to all types of organizations and activities managed.
The aim of all managers is universal: to create a surplus.
Management identifies a special group of people whose job is to direct the effort and activities of other people towards common objectives.
Management is concerned with productivity, thereby implying efficiency and effectiveness. Factors of production of an organization such as labor, capital, land, equipment etc. are used efficiently and effectively prepared through management for achieving organizational goals.
Management has to pay attention to fulfilling the objectives of the interested parties.
Management is the art and science of getting work done by other peoples.
"Maximum results with the minimum of efforts" is the motto of management of any organization.
Management as a concept has broadened in scope with the introduction of new perspectives by different fields of study, such as economics, sociology, psychology and the like.
Management is the process of setting and reaching goals in an effective and efficient way. Management process has some qualities or features.
In this post; we are going to try to understand what the features of management are.
It is usual to associate management with a group.
Although people as individuals manage many personal affairs, the group emphasis of management is universal.
Every enterprise entails the existence of a group to achieve goals. It is now established that goals are achieved more readily by a group than by any one person alone.
Wherever there is management, there is a purpose. Management, in fact, deals with the achievement of something definite, expressed as a goal or objective.
Management success is commonly measured by the extent to which objectives are achieved. Management exists because it is an effective means of getting the necessary work accomplished.
Besides the manager of a firm, there may be accountants, engineers, system analysts, salesmen and a host of other employees working but it is the manager's job to integrate all their activities.
Thus it can well be said that participation in management necessitates relinquishing the normal tendency to perform all things oneself and getting tasks accomplished through group efforts.
Managers focus their attention and efforts on bringing about successful action. Successful managers have an urge for accomplishment.
They know when and where to start, what to do with keeping things moving, and how to follow a goal-oriented approach.
Management can neither be replaced nor substituted by anything else.
Even the computer which is the wonderful invention of the twentieth century can only aid but not replace management.
We know that the computer is an extremely powerful tool for management.
It can widen a manager's vision and sharpen his insight by supplying more and faster information for making key decisions.
The computer has enabled the manager to conduct analysis far beyond the normal analytical capacities of man.
But what happens, in reality, is that the computer can neither work by itself nor can it pass any judgment.
The manager plays his/her role by providing judgment and imagination as well as interpreting and evaluating what the information/data mean in each case.
Management is often called the unseen force; its presence is evidenced by the results of its efforts – motivation among employees, discipline in the group, high productivity, adequate surplus, etc.
Conversely, the identity of management may also be felt by its absence or by the presence of its direct opposite mismanagement. The consequence of mismanagement is anybody's guess.
A manager can do much to improve the work environment, stimulate people to perform better, achieve progress, bring hope and accomplish better things in life.
The study of management has evolved into more than just the use of means to achieve ends; today it includes moral and ethical questions concerning the selection of the right ends towards which managers should strive.

Posting for a friend I'm trying to help

June 5, 2020 in Relationships and social life
Happy2Heal
if this isn't allowed I"m sorry. I promised a friend I'd try to get her help. She's 84yrs old and doesn't use a computer.
she suffered the tragic loss of her husband 3 yrs ago (suicide, he'd had botched surgery that left him in terrible pain and he couldn't take it any longer)
She "fell apart" she said, and went into a psych hospital for 2 1/2 mos. While there, she believes she was given meds to help her sleep and possibly started on lexapro, she's not sure. She thought maybe the lexapro was started some time later.
In any case, she took lexapro for at least 2 yrs
For some reason, her PCP (who has been prescribing the lexapro) switched her to remeron. She was going thru a hard time with a BF who was stalking her, damaging her car, etc. So it's possible she told her dr that the lexapro wasn't helping.
So she was switched to mirtazapine/remeron.
it's now Approx 2 mos after being off the lexapro and she's waking up with horrible anxiety attacks as well as severe GI symptoms. She's also dizzy and feels weak , hot and sweaty.
She went to the ER and was tested for everything under the sun, nothing wrong.
She was started on lorazapam/ativan at 0.5mgs once a day.
her PCP has rather quickly upped that dose to 0.5mgs three times a day to now 1mg three times a day
and she's been told not to drive
which is not going to happen. She refuses to stay home and doesn't understand that the drug that an impair her ability to drive is also the drug that can make her unaware of her impairment (although I think I was able to get that thru to her by comparing it to being drunk)
this 84 yr old woman has been active her entire life, kayaking hiking, etc etc, she would not just stay home.
she's waking up with more and more anxiety every day and more GI symptoms, including a burning feeling in her stomach and nausea
My feeling is that she's going thru lexapro withdrawal (delayed)
she takes the remeron at night and she says it helps her to sleep
but she's quickly gotten very fond of the ativan.
I've warned her about addiction and tolerance and told her she needs to take the warnings about driving very seriously.
she's at an age where she believes that only a dr knows best, so it's very hard for me to give her advice.
Plus I don't want to cause her any harm
she wants me to go with her to see a psychiatrist or other prescribing dr.
I don't know that I'd be much good with that, since I HATE these drs so much for what they did to me (over 40yrs on psych drugs, given nearly every mental illness lable, etc etc)
Is there anything I can do for her?
My feeling was that a tiny dose of lexapro might convince her that her anxiety and GI upset are WD from the CT of lexapro...
but I don't know if that would work now that she's got the other drugs in her system........??
what would be her best course of action?
she does not want to be on these drugs but she's not been offered therapy!!
she wants to go inpatient because she's recently lost her volunteer job and her BF and is lonely and needs things to do.
I doubt they'll agree to admit her for that, but she may realize that her anxiety issues might be enough to get her admitted for a short while since she has good insurance
I told her that they are likely going to keep her on meds and maybe increase them.
They don't know how to get ppl off them.
any suggestions welcomed.
I'm so upset that she's going thru this.
these damn drs dole these drugs out like candy, it makes me sick
pysch med history: 1974 @ age 18 to Oct 2017 (approx 43 yrs total)
Drug list: stelazine, haldol, elavil, lithium, zoloft, celexa, lexapro(doses as high as 40mgs), klonopin, ambien, seroquel(high doses), depakote, zyprexa, lamictal- plus brief trials of dozens of other psych meds over the years
started lexapro 2002, dose varied from 20mgs to 40mgs. I tried to get off it several times. WD symptoms were mistaken for "relapse".
2013 too fast taper down to 5mg but WD forced me back to 20mgs
June of 2105, tapered again too rapidly to 2.5mgs by Dec 2015. Found SA, held at 2.5 mgs til May 2016 when I foolishly "jumped off". Crashed in Sept, reinstated at 0.3mgs in Oct. 2106
Tapered off to zero by Oct. 2017 Doing very well
Nov. 2018 feel 95% healed, current age 63
Jan. 2020 feel 100% healed, peaceful and content
Nov. 2020, loving life ❤

Hi H2H,
It's really lovely that you want to try and help somebody sort out their drug issues. However, SA is not able to work through a third party. Depending on the circumstances SA does occasionally try to help where the person is an incapacitated spouse, child or parent of the member.
Even though it can be distressing to see a friend suffering, it can sometimes be different to help them. It can also cause us stress and that can bring about a worsening of our own condition.
If you are concerned about drug interactions, you could always print out the drug interaction and give it to the friend and/or a relative of the friend. These are two that we use:
Drug Interactions Checker
https://reference.medscape.com/drug-interactionchecker
Drug withdrawal is now in the DSM-5. dsm-5-diagnosis-code-antidepressant-discontinuation-syndrome
You are long time member and as such are very familiar with the information available on the SA website. You could always print off information and give to the friend and/or relative of the friend. Or, if they have access to the website (libraries have the internet) you could sit alongside them and help the to navigate the site.

Perhaps you could help her arrange this.
Are you able/willing to drive her for necessary things, and perhaps the occasional outing? Or are there any community bus services for the aged in her area?
Any person, regardless of their age, can be set in their ways. All we can do is offer advice.
This is a tough one. If you really want to help her you might just have to suck it up and remind yourself that you are doing it to help her. You could provide any printed information to the psychiatrist and/or doctor.

I'm not at all familiar with benzo information. I'm telling her she can addicted very quickly but I don't know how quickly. I'm afraid for her.
Because drs give out these drugs so freely, it's given her the impression that there's nothing to be afraid of. It makes her feel better so it must be ok, right? 😕
Libraries are closed here. I have no printer. But I don't even know what to print out.
I mostly wanted to know if what she is experiencing now could be potentially halted by reinstating a small amnt of lexapro.
I don't drive and the bus service is very limited right now due to the pandemic. She would not be content with occasional outings, she leaves her house every day when the weather is good. She's only been a widow for 3 yrs now and was in a relationship for over 2 yrs, having met her boyfriend within a few months of losing her husband. That went well til he started to act possessive and jealous (we think he's got some form of early dementia) and then she needed to get a restraining order against him. At the same time she lost her 5 day a week volunteer job to the pandemic.
There's nowhere for her to go and no one to see. It's extremely lonely for our sr citizens now due to this virus. They are incredibly isolated.
She doesn't yet realize how difficult it is going to be to find a dr of any kind right now. We have a shortage of all types of medical and mental health professionals in this area, just getting in to see anyone is not going to be easy.
Therapists are not doing in person appts and most drs are still doing telehealth appts. But even without the pandemic, the wait was at least 3 or 4 mos long to be seen. You can go to the ER if you're suicidal, that's about it.
She's got a primary care dr who is actually older than she is (85) who is giving her these prescriptions. She wants a new dr but as I told her, it's not something that is going to happen right away. The hospital where she was an inpatient may not have offered her therapy because there was no one available, I realize now after complaining that it wasn't offered.
I just wish that I had the right info to give her about her symptoms. If she'd just stopped taking the lexapro and no other drug had been added, it would be pretty clear that she's in WD
but with the remeron and now the ativan, I don't know if her morning anxiety and GI upsets are from WD or side effects of the new drugs or both.
I am just praying that all of this doesn't end up cutting her life short.
I guess that's all there is to do.
god I hate these drugs.

H2H,
I can give you the basics on benzo dependence. You can become dependent within 2 to 4 weeks of regular use and also from intermittent use. A member recently posted that he had become dependent using a benzo 3 times a week. Once you become dependent, you no longer get the original benefit of the drug and are taking it only to stave off withdrawal.

take care of yourself. 🙁
Currently taking Ramapril (blood pressure) 5 mg twice a day
Omeprazole 10 mg AM and 20 mg PM (the taper has gone nowhere after the first cut)
Famotidine once a day (and I still needs tums sometimes)
magnesium 200 mg at night
as of yesterday 2 fish oil capsules "EPA-DHA 1000"
off Lexapro as of 5/2018 - last dose had been 5 mg every other day for a couple years
highest dose had been 20 mg at which point I was diagnosed with Bipolar II, which went away when I cut the lexapro down to 15 mg.
I spent years on Paxil before Lexapro (can't remember dose), briefly on Effexor and Abilify and others I have forgotten. in fact, when I was diagnoses with BPII I was put on all kinds of things which made me feel so bad I stopped them cold turkey within maybe 3 or 4 weeks, thank goodness. since then I've known these pills were terrible and I weaned down the Lexapro with zero help or support over I'm not sure how many years.

thanks Jackie
I spent about 4 hrs with her today and she seems to be doing ok. She's lost some weight which she really couldn't afford to lose, she's as thin as a rail.
But she was driving just fine, her reaction time is good. She didn't seem to be forgetful or confused.
For her age, she's really in remarkable shape.
I believe that she feels as badly as she says she feels but she's able to function a lot better than she thinks she is.
This seems typical of WD to me. I don't know...
she was very happy to spend time with me, we took a nice hike and stopped for groceries and for coffee.
She really seems to just need people to see and places to go and things to do, all things that she/we lost due to the virus shutdown.
She didn't get depressed when she was going to the gym 3 to 5 times a week. She normally spends a couple of hours there! I'm 20 years younger than she is and can't even last 15 mins on the treadmill and wouldn't even attempt the rowing machine LOL
so she's not your typical 84 yr old.
She got a recommendation for a dr who specializes in treating the elderly so she's going to try to get an appt with him.
She's decided not to seek therapy or inpatient care.
I made plans with her for Tuesday and will see if we can get together on Friday as well. I think if I spend time with her and keep her busy, that will help get her over the hump. I'm praying it will at least.
She's sounded just awful on the phone! so weak and fragile sounding. In person she looks a lot better, thank goodness!
at least she knows she has a friend! you clearly care and can spend time with her - that's a lot better than nothing.
good for you. 😍
GOOD NEWS!!
she went off the second drug she was put on and feels even worse, that's obviously not the good news
but she's ended up being sent to stay with her son and daughter in law, and her DIL has gone off antidepressants herself and immediately understood that was the problem
I told her about this site and she is going to print off some stuff for the drs and get her reinstated on her meds and taper her off
once again, SA to the rescue!
I am so very grateful for this site!!!!!!!

so wonderful!!!! 🥰
UPDATE on my friend:
boy are doctors careless when it comes to Rxing drugs!!
my friend ended up in a psych hospital out of state, where she stayed for 10 days while they reinstated her on lexapro 10mgs, remeron aka mirtazapine 15 mgs and ativan 0.5mgs
she lost a lot of weight and was discharged to home with a weekly visiting nurse. They don't seem to believe her real physical symptoms of withdrawal (because nothing shows up on any tests!! grrr!!) and now they are basically ignoring her.
Except that she had to change drs and they doubled her mirtazapine dose for no reason!!
she's been so sick ever since but the mirtazapine seems to make her confused and forgetful (she's mid 80s but has been sharp as a tack all the time I"ve known her, and for all that time she was on lexapro, so it's not the lexapro messing her up so bad)
So she didn't even catch the increase til today, when I asked to see her pills
we went to the pharmacy and they've got multiple Rxes written for, from 2 different drs, all in different doses
It's so incredible how careless they are
The pharmacist urged her to cut the 30mg tablet in half so she'd be back on the 15mgs that was her stable dose for a few months but she's afraid to do it
She thinks if she makes a dosage change without clearing it with her dr, she'll be in trouble (and in fact, this can and does happen, you can be "fired" as a pt for not following orders etc)
But what about the drs negligence in calling in the wrong dosage and doubling it?!?!?
I get so mad at the medical establishment. I want them to have to suffer every single thing that they put us thru with their drug pushing and med changes and just overall incredible disregard for our bodies and our health
seriously, every single one of them that has Rxed these drugs and done so willy nilly as most do, needs to see and feel for themselves what this is like.
this woman has a heart condition. she's 85 yrs old and except for her heart meds, has never taken more than an aspirin her whole life, and they load her up on these damn pysch meds when her husband dies tragically by suicide and they don't even notice when the double the damn dose
it's criminal
anyway that's my update and my rant too!!
I'll be seeing her every day for the next 2 weeks cuz her cat needs to take meds and she's not up to doing it herself
Hopefully I can get thru to her that she hires the drs to work for HER not the other way around, and she should be FIRING them when they screw up or don't take her concerns seriously.
easier said than done, though, because you get a "reputation" if you change drs more than few times.
shouldn't be this way, but it is.
ok time to wrap up this rant LOL
I just hate to see people suffer and it's even worse when its' so unnecessary ya know?
It's sad to hear that this has happened to your friend. But it's good that you picked up on the increased dose.
that really is criminal. 😡
I'm so glad you are there for her!

I suppose the first step here is admitting you have a problem and after deciding I was going to write this little blog and talk to a few other people in the fitness world it seems to have helped a bit. Last Sunday my "cheat meal" was homemade protein brownies (recipe on under the recipe tab) a single serving of chex mix and 2 french fries and let me tell you Monday I felt great, not perfect, but for me great. I did also avoid my Mom's house since it seems to be a trigger as well and I knew there is all kind of goodies there (I believe eating clean is your own decision not anyone else's you shouldn't try to change their lives especially to accommodate yours unless they ask) but I can't avoid it every Sunday and I don't want to it just so happened I was busy making my protein brownies. I'm sure this little problem has cured itself overnight and I'm sure it's something I'll always be struggling with but at least now I know I'm honest and I'm not the only one trying to fight the binge eating battle.
The best advice I've got for any issues ya'll may be facing as well is: find your trigger points and avoid them and more importantly simply just talk. Talk it out, get it out, let it out... be honest with yourself and don't be afraid to admit your faults or wrongs, talk to someone a friend, a family member, a coach a teach a mentor a therapist whatever, heck even talk to something (yes I talk to my dog about problems from time to time) blog, write it a journal whatever, just get it out! Also, don't be afraid to ask for help it it doesn't mean you a weak it means your strong enough to admit you need help! Just let it out, it's just another step to finding your true self and loving the person looking back at you in the mirror every day!
thank you SO much for sharing your story and struggles. i know 100% what you're going through and i'm working on many of the same things myself. in the past i struggled with bulimia for about 2 years, and was "recovered" for 3 years after that. last year i became interested in the fitness industry, competing and weight lifting. i ate extremely healthy and was the picture of health. however, as time went on i started to binge and hide foods and then i would "overcompensate" by exercising more. this got worse and i eventually started purging again. of course, i know how horrible it is for me and how much it's messed up my metabolism in the past so i decided to get help for it. i was put on prozac because it helps with binging (i'm not saying you should go on it also, but it does help a lot of people with this issue), some people naturally have low serotonin levels and binging on certain foods can actually help increase it, so the prozac raises your serotonin levels so you're less likely to binge. my best advice would be to try to figure out if there is any subconcious reason you binge. for example, i'm the same as you..whenever i go home and my parents are sleeping i will binge on everything in sight. i realized there were things about my childhood i hadn't talked to my parents about and i was "stuffing" my feelings away. whether it's a deep psychological issue or just lacking nutrients, i truly hope you can overcome this issue because i know how frustrating it can be! your body is absolutely amazing though and you inspire so many people. i am hoping to compete in my first bikini competition in october and it feels good knowing i'm not the only one struggling with this problem. thank you so much again for sharing!

The Human Rights Defender of Armenia revealed the 3rd case of Azerbaijani unlawful incursion (October, 2020), causing gross violations of RA civilians' rights in Kapan
12-10-2021 10:40:48 | Armenia | Press release
Our ongoing fact-finding activities have revealed that during the war, in the end of October 2020 Azerbaijani armed forces incurred the sovereign territory of RA in the border area near the village of Tsav, Kapan community, Syunik province, causing a real threat especially for the residents of the villags Nerkin Hand and Tsav in Kapan.
With the current report, I also publish the incursions of the Azerbaijani armed forces on the Google map in yellow, with a description of at least 5 specific locations. According to the Google Map measurement, the intrusions are located in the depths of the RA sovereign territory near the village of Tsav, at a distance of 150 m, 190 m, 960 m, 1140 m և 1210 m in a straight line from the border envisaged by it.
They are, in particular, in areas where there are grasslands and pastures. As a result of the incursion, civilians were deprived of the opportunity to use those lands and earn a family income.
On this manner, the Azerbaijani armed forces openly violate the rights of the residents of Kapan community, especially Tsav and Nerkin Hand villages, to life and safe living, to property, to earn a family income, and other vital rights. Their presence is a real threat to people's peaceful lives.
Meaning, the presence of the Azerbaijani armed forces in the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, in the border area near the village of Tsav in Syunik, is clearly devoid of any legal title.
The rights of the border residents of the Republic of Armenia will be continuously violated as long as they are illegally located in the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, in the lands of the people.
In parallel to all this, the Azerbaijani hatred and enmity, policy of fascism is continuing.
Therefore, this issue should also be referred to the international instances, such as the European Court of Human Rights, the UN International Court of Justice, and other instances. It should be a mandatory component in order to restore the violated rights of the RA border residents.
Restoration of the rights of the border residents of the Republic of Armenia requires immediate withdrawal of the Azerbaijani armed servicement.
There should be no Azerbaijani armed servicemen near the villages of Syunik and Gegharkunik, between the roads of Syunik communities.

Judicial consideration of the practice of limited dual agency continues to evolve. A recent court decision1 considered whether a REALTOR® had a duty to refer their client for independent legal advice before the client entered into a Limited Dual Agency Agreement (LDAA).
The REALTOR® also had the plaintiff enter into a LDAA. The offer and the LDAA were then delivered to the seller. The offer was accepted and the transaction was completed. Sometime after completion the plaintiff became dissatisfied with a number of things about the property and sued the seller for misrepresentation and the REALTOR® for both misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty. The plaintiff was partially successful against the seller with respect to the claims of misrepresentation but unsuccessful against the REALTOR®.
With respect to the claim that the REALTOR® breached the fiduciary duties owed to the buyer the plaintiff claimed that, because the buyer may not have understood the nature of the LDAA, the REALTOR® was obliged to afford the plaintiff the opportunity of getting independent legal advice before entering into it, that the REALTOR® failed to meet the obligations under the CREA REALTOR® Code and finally that the REALTOR® preferred the interests of the seller over the buyer. The court dismissed each claim.
The plaintiff argued that the requirement in the REALTOR® Code for a REALTOR® to "encourage parties to seek the advice of outside professionals where such advice is beyond the expertise of the [REALTOR®]" obligated the REALTOR® to refer the plaintiff for independent legal advice before the plaintiff entered into the LDAA. The court did not agree. While concluding that there may be circumstances where such a referral was warranted, this was not one of them.
Having found that the REALTOR® had explained the document to the plaintiff, that the plaintiff had bought other houses before and had sold their previous property through limited dual agency and that there was no evidence to suggest that the plaintiff was incapable of understanding the document, the court concluded that the REALTOR® did not have an obligation to refer his client for independent legal advice. The plaintiff also tried to argue, with no success, that the fiduciary duties of the REALTOR® were not affected by the terms of the LDAA.
Once again a BC court has recognized that "limited dual agency agreements are not uncommon in this province." In this case the court confirmed that, except in extraordinary circumstances, a REALTOR® is not obligated to refer his client (even a client with limited education) for independent legal advice before entering into a LDAA where the document has been explained to the client and there is no evidence to suggest that the client was incapable of understanding it.

As the name suggests, the Rollerscript font from G-TYPE designed by Nick Cooke was conceived by writing out variations of each character by hand using a roller pen before the scanning and digitising process.
Pronounced pressure points where characters start, end or join make for a very authentic hand drawn appearance which is enhanced still further through the use of over 100 standard ligatures. Character pairings like 'tt' or 'gg' in normal handwriting fonts never look natural but in Rollerscript will now automatically change as you type!
Rollerscript's handwriting credentials are given a further boost with the inclusion of multiple underlines and sketched icons, arrows and emoticons.
Available as 2 Typefaces – Rollerscript Smooth and Rollerscript Rough or as 1 Value Pack, Rollerscript supports at least 21 languages (STD/OT CFF).

Here's a boomer opinion that we find it hard to argue with: some sort of national service program for our kids … or maybe more accurately for some of us, our grandkids. Communications specialist Larry Checco of Silver Spring, Maryland, is working on a solution. His rallying cry? America, we have a problem!
Boomers, for better or worse, we've had our shot. It's time we ensure that our daughters, sons, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren have at least an equal opportunity to have theirs.
When six million jobs go begging in large part because our young people, in particular, do not have the skill sets to fill them … When so many of these same young people, from the ages of 18 to 26, feel disenfranchised from society, do not trust the government, and believe they are being left behind … When many are deeply depressed and turning to deadly drugs and crime as a way out, then we must face the fact that the United States is in the midst of a serious crisis.
In many instances we've done a far better job educating our kids to be good consumers than good citizens.
If we are to succeed as a nation in the long run, our young people need to be educated and experienced in what it means to be an American. They must be made to feel that they, like previous generations, have a stake in the long-term well-being of our nation. They need to know that their lives and work are meaningful, and that their futures are bright.
National Service might be a viable answer for achieving these ambitious goals.
National Service in the United States has a long tradition, extending to the founding of America. It takes on multiple forms, among them community, international, and military service.
What might a National Service program look like?
Well for one thing, it might include recruitment into the Corporation for National and Community Service organizations like AmeriCorps, Equal Justice Works, Teach for America, and Children's Corps. Or service in the United States Armed Forces.
Or it could mean a stint in the Peace Corps. Or in a program that resembles the Civilian Conservation Corps of the Roosevelt era. Or serving in a variety of organizations that focus on healthcare, cyber security, cultural anthropology, languages, journalism, and more, places where they can learn the skills to thrive in this challenging 21st Century workforce.
In return for their service, participants would receive lodging, uniforms, healthcare, and good allowances, as well as stipends.
Upon completion of two years of service they would be entitled to numerous government incentives, including an education debt reduction or education allowance similar to the GI Bill, and other options to support the national service movement.
The fact is, talent exists everywhere, from the poorest of inner-city neighborhoods to the most remote rural areas of America. What's most often lacking, however, is opportunity.
In full disclosure, I am personally involved, along with many others, in trying to get a program such as this off the ground and into the halls of Congress, where we hope our representatives will act in a responsible bipartisan manner to legislate — and fund — such an ambitious effort.
It is a bold undertaking that will require bold commitments to achieve bold outcomes. However, nothing less than the future of our nation — and our kids' and grandkids' future — is at stake.
Being totally pro National Service, Larry, I couldn't agree more. We owe it to our next gens to teach them the practical skills they need to negotiate their way through the decades ahead. We've over-indulged ourselves and them for way too long at the risk of their very future. I hope you get this off the ground in the States then Australia might adopt the idea too! God forbid, in our current political climate, our leaders should actually make a bi-partisan decision and do something as noteworthy and sensible as this on their own!
Many thanks, Annabelle, for your thought-filled comments both here and on my FaceBook page. We're hoping many others will weigh in on this important issue. Liberal (lower case "L") democracies are in retreat around the globe in part due to complacent constituents–including many young people–who have come to take the privileges they enjoy for granted–i.e the right to vote, freedom of speech, the protection of personal property, the right to a fair trial, and more. Hopefully effective, well-thought out, well-funded national service programs can reverse that trend by giving them a stake in the communities and countries they serve. It's up to we, the people, to make this happen!
I applaud your insight and your well thought out argument for this (In my opinion) desperately needed service/program. I also sadly ask what more can I as a retired 33 year USAF member who gave his best in the defense of a country and a Government which I believed, had the best interest of the least of us at heart. I now sadly see the Republican Majority, and the current regime has deemed that we would be better served by an Oligarchy, rather than a representative democracy… I know that in my current physical condition I can no longer stand for any a mount of time, never mind March in any type of demonstration.. So I have done what I can do.. I write my representative, and my Senator, to emphatically tell them that I do not agree with their way of representing my views.. I then receive platitudes, of how they are doing a great job for the populace who elected them.. And when I pointedly disagree with their explanations, providing factual, and proven points against then, they remain silent, and or send me their next news letter… Or as the last correspondence I received from my Representative Tom Cole, R-OK Where after my questioning of his vote and the fact that My social security Payment is an Earned payment not merely and entitlement.. He then proceeds to explain to me That the original Social Security Act of 1935 Allows qualified individual(s)… To receive… and old Age Benefit… He then proceeds to enlighten me to the fact that "Benefit" does not mean "Government Handout" all of this while I formally refer to this individual as Mr. Cole he deems it his prerogative to Line through the Mr. Crespo salutation in his letter and write in my first name.
My anger is not merely with these men but with the populace who keep them in office… I have also become involved with the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center along with the local Democratic party as it seems to be the only counter force available to me, to which I say Listen to those like me or my support will go else where.
Thanks again for your insight, and I welcome you to the fight against the type of Government which as alien to most of us as that of the extraterrestrial race known as the Ferengi, who are stereotypically capitalist and motivated only by profit. From the TV Show Deep Space 9.. I shall post your article on my face book page…. Bouna Fortuna…!!!
Thanks, Rick. Sounds like you're doing a lot already. Keep writing and speaking out. This is our country; it's not the country of tone-deaf politicians.
In addition to the benefits you describe, national service may prove effective strategies combating opioids and drugs and jihadism. I am pleased to find you devoting your talents to this issue. What better platform from which to promote the benefits of liberal democracies.
Thanks, Andy. We've got to do something, and if anybody has to do it, it needs to be we, the people. Nothing less than our fragile 242-year experiment in democracy is at stake.
My father was in the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) in the 1930s and was very proud of his service.
But if you / we are looking at a national service program to save our country, you're / we're too late.
There is only one way to reverse the trends that are driving this country to ruin, and His name is Jesus. Not a political Jesus, not a social Jesus, but the Jesus, the Son of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Hey Larry: I don't have my fingers on the data, but I believe the generations that bubbled up after the boomers, especially those born mid-1980s and after are more service-minded than our generation. There are more opportunities and more service requirements wrapped in with schooling than before. What we could use is more civics-oriented education and hands-on experiences. School systems have dropped these in favor of more time for testing and literacy and mathematics requirements–changes that trickled down from policy emphases and legislation.
John, you are arguing our point. Many high school graduates are released into the world without a solid foundation, not only in academics, but also in citizenship or skills necessary to compete in the 21st century workforce. Teaching to the test just doesn't cut it. What we are proposing through a national service program is to give 18 to 26 year olds–and others–the opportunity, not only to serve, but through service to achieve a better understanding of what it means to be a member of a democratic society, to make them understand the value of their service, the value they themselves inherently embody, as well as the value of others, all through hands-on experiences away from home and their normal comfort zones. In short, to make them better, more aware, more experienced citizens and, therefore, more educated and engaged voters.
I am all for weaving a tapestry of opportunities and experiences for individuals to develop personal capacity while engaged in activities that serve and do "good". The possibilities are endless and the need vast. It would be wonderful to coalesce the many efforts of groups focusing on youth development and building assets in young adults. The act of giving and receiving is often misunderstood in the US. The practice of giving and generosity is the most basic way to experience freedom and an openness of heart. An acknowledgment of our interdependence and an awareness of our dependence on a myriad of things. Receiving is a place of openness and courage and as much a gift as giving. To give and receive with good and meaningful intentions reinforces communicating and connecting with purpose.
Many thanks for your sage insights, Beth. Also, thanks for your leadership on the IMPACT review. Couldn't have done it without you.
1) Improve Social Security benefits for the lowest earners. Part of this could be financed by removing the current income cap on Social Security taxes. Raise Social Security and SSI benefits for the very old and for nursing-eligible elderly who have been receiving long term care for many years.
2) Create a universal retirement savings system for all workers including specified minimum contributions from the government, employers, and employees.
3) Raise the minimum wage to a "living wage level" based on cost of living in a state or region. The minimum wage could be raised to $12 an hour with states given the authority to adjust minimum wages (10%?) lower to account for geographic variation. States of course can always set the minimum wage higher. Most important: no matter where minimum wage levels are set, in the future they need to be adjusted to reflect changes in the cost of living. Alternative approaches include broadening the reach of the earned income tax credit and improving its take-up rate.
– Increase financial aid for low- and moderate-income people for college education and technical training. Interest rates for college and technical training loans should not exceed the overnight borrowing rate charged by the Fed by more than a reasonable amount (2 percentage points?).
– Work with universities and colleges to improve training programs for an economy that will see increasing automation and use of computer technology.
5) As part of the effort above, provide citizens with an opportunity to have at least one year of paid service in federal employment in the armed services or in federally sponsored projects improving national infrastructure — or one year of training toward a career. Citizens can take this option at any point in their working lives, but must meet performance standards to receive compensation or benefits. Tasks could include fixing roads, picking up trash, improving water systems, development of renewal energy infrastructure, and mitigating damage to coastline cities from rising sea levels, should this occur.
6) Provide business incentives to keep technology development and manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
7) Agree to sign the Trans-Pacific trade deal and continue support of expansive international trade only if a substantial commitment is made toward retraining displaced workers.
8) Control illegal immigration, not through building physical walls, but by fining and publicizing employers who repeatedly hire illegals.
Karl, it looks like you've done quite a lot of thinking about this already. All six of your points are worthy of consideration by the powers that be. Equity and opportunity are currently in short supply. We need to change that by getting our messages out there.


Halloween 2015 just got a touch more foreboding thanks to a massive space rock hurtling near to, though not directly at, Earth's surface. NASA's Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System identified the asteroid on Oct. 10 and subsequently published a report on the massive object, which is named 2015 TB145. According to the report, the asteroid will bypass Earth on Oct. 31 at 1:12 p.m. Eastern at a distance of 1.3 lunar distances, or about 300,000 miles.
Based on NASA's data, Earth Sky estimates the asteroid measures somewhere between 689 and 2,133 feet. Its notable size makes it the largest asteroid to skirt Earth since 1999, and it will be August 2027 before another astroid of this caliber makes a showing.
Because of its size, NASA said the asteroid is an ideal target for radar, and the organization plans to capture images of the giant mass. For everyone else, planning an asteroid-viewing Halloween party may be a bit of a stretch, as it will be difficult to see without advanced telescopes.
"2015 TB145 could reach 10th magnitude before sunrise on Oct. 31 for observers in North America, but it will be close to the waning gibbous moon and probably challenging to see with small telescopes," NASA writes in its report. "The asteroid will be in Taurus at the time of closest approach. After closest approach, 2015 TB145 will be a daytime object and too close to the sun to observe with optical telescopes."
Judging by NASA's measurements, the "Halloween Asteroid" poses no real threat to Earth. However, considering October began the first-ever independent space race to the moon, a Super Blood Moon happened in September and both water and Matt Damon have made recent appearances on Mars, we can add the asteroid to a running list of reasons why a Halloween 2015 party should be a space-themed affair.

SKU #1474822 91 points Wine Enthusiast
This is a strong bottling of this Cabernet-dominant red blend. There's a slight funk at first, which quickly blows off to reveal aromas of mint, tomato stem, iodine, pencil shavings and warm clay, all weaving through puckered, sunkissed fruit. The palate is big and broad yet raspy and a little on the warm side alcohol-wise. It avoids being syrupy, however, thanks to a lifted line of acidity and a grip of sinewy, spicy tannins. Shows variety and place expression at an affordable price point. (8/2020)

- One of France's noblest black grape varieties, Syrah is known for its intense and distinctive perfume reminiscent of briar fruit, tar, spice and black pepper and its firm structure. One of few black grape varietals frequently vinified on its own, the best examples of Syrah come from the Northern Rhône, particularly Hermitage, but also Côte-Rôtie, Cornas, Crozes-Hermitage and St-Joseph. These wines are very astringent in their youth, though some Crozes-Hermitage and St-Joseph can be enjoyed young, relatively speaking. Given the requisite patience, though, these wines can reveal amazing complexity and secondary fruit characteristics like plum and blackcurrant as well as subtle hints of smoke and flowers. In the Southern Rhône, Syrah is used to add structure and complexity to wines dominated by Grenache and complemented by Mourvèdre, like the more immediately drinkable Côte du Rhônes, as well as the long-lived wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In recent years, plantings of Syrah have spread throughout the Languedoc-Roussillon where it is produced on its own or blended with other varietals. Outside of France, the most important Syrah growing country is easily Australia, where it is called Shiraz. Quality levels here depend greatly on yields and geography, and the wines range from bold, fruity and easy-drinking to intense and ageable, like the famed Penfolds Grange. Often bottled on its own, in Australia Syrah is also can be blended with Grenache and Mourvèdre, as in the Southern Rhône, and is increasingly combined with Cabernet Sauvignon. Syrah has also been steadily increasing in popularity in California, thanks to a group of advocates called the Rhône Rangers. Its most successful iterations come from the Central and Sonoma Coasts, where winemakers are pushing boundaries and creating some incredible wines. In recent years Syrah has also found a number of proponents in Washington State, which is definitely a region to watch for this variety.
- While it is true that the greatest strides in Australian winemaking have come in the last 30 years or so, commercial viticulture began as early as the 1820s and has developed uninterrupted ever since. The majority of the great wine regions are in the southeastern area of the continent, including Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra in South Australia; Yarra Yarra Valley and Pyrenees in Victoria; and the Upper and Lower Hunter Valleys in New South Wales. Many of the wines from Southeastern Australia are based on Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon and various blends including Grenache and Mourvedre. In Western Australia, along the Margaret River, great strides are being made with Pinot Noir as well as Bordeaux-styled reds. There are also many world-class releases of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc from the land Down Under, where Riesling also enjoys international acclaim. While many equate Aussie wines with "value," there are more than a few extremely rare and pricey options, which never fail to earn the highest ratings from wine publications and critics throughout the world.

Mexican Attorney General Charges 7 People in Obama's 'Fast and Furious' Gun Trafficking Operation
Leave a Comment	/ Government Corruption, Mexico, Politics / By sfcmac
The US Attorney General should be charging Obama and Eric Holder for the same crimes.
Mexican prosecutors have announced charges against seven individuals in connection with the decade-old "Fast and Furious" weapons trafficking scandal.
The botched operation took place during Obama's first term, and involved agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowing criminals at the U.S. border to purchase firearms with the intention of tracking the weapons and ultimately reducing criminal cartel activity across and on the U.S. border.
The agency, however, lost track of most of the guns, including the two that were discovered at the scene of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry's murder in 2010.
Mexican officials now say that gangs involved with drug trafficking and former government officials also participated in what became a weapons trafficking operation. The office of the country's Attorney General announced trafficking charges Sunday against seven people including the nation's former top police official, and infamous drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who is currently serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison.
Former Federal Police commander Luis Cardenas Palomino was also charged. He had previously been arrested in Mexico on charges of torture, and U.S. prosecutors have accused him of accepting millions of dollars in bribes from the Sinaloa cartel.
The Fast and Furious gunrunning operation killed hundreds, including U.S. Border Agents.
ATF agent John Dodson was told to allow guns into Mexico.
Holder not only signed off on the gunrunning, he bragged about it in 2009. The weapons from Obama's gunrunning escapade keep turning up in shootouts, murders, and crime scenes.
By the way, a high ranking cartel operative stated that the purpose of Fast and Furious wasn't to track weapons, but to supply them.
Barky's DOJ was ordered repeatedly to turn over documents related to this fucking disaster. Obama and the agency kept thumbing their noses at the law and the courts.
Eric Holder was arrogant and flippant throughout the entire investigation of this crime. After he was held in contempt by Congress, he celebrated by going to Disney World.
Both Obama and Holder lied about and covered up their involvement in this disaster. Discovered documents and memos prove that they lied. Both of them obstructed justice by stonewalling Congress, preventing witness testimonies, and threatening to fire anyone who refused to go along with the coverup.
When's the prosecution?


UNHRC Archives - Breaking Israel News | Latest News. Biblical Perspective.
As the US supports Israel's annexation of the vital region, the UN prepares its annual wave of anti-Israel resolutions condemning the Jewish presence in the Golan.
The move by High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet came amid outside pressure, including from NGO Monitor, which tracks nongovernmental organizations and how they view Israel.
A biased UN report was released ignoring Hamas' role in the conflict raging on Israel's southern border.
Nikki Haley, the United States' Ambassador to the United Nations has shocked the world by announcing her sudden resignation. Initial reports suggest that she will continue in her post until the end of this calendar year.
U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton recently announced that the United States plans to cut its funding of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which the U.S. withdrew from in June due to the body's anti-Israel bias.
"Jewish communities are enduring growing threat manifested in hate speech, harassment, vandalism and physical violence in several regions," said Hungarian Ambassador Zsuzsanna Horváth.
US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, confirms that her country has withdrawn from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) over its failure to condemn egregious human rights abuses among its member states, including Venezuela and Iran.
"For too long, the human rights council has been a protector of human rights abusers and a cesspool of political bias," said US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley.
A US source told Reuters that the withdrawal appeared to be "imminent" as the council is set to open its three-week session on Monday.

The Candy Land computer game is a version of the classic board game brought to life and enhanced.
One player can play against a computer opponent, or up to 4 people can take turns. To advance, a player clicks on a machine which produces a piece of colored candy. The player is allowed to move to the next space that shares the same color as the candy which was just drawn. Some spaces are sticky and if a player lands on one, they will lose one or more turns. Some pieces contain special candies which will cause a player to warp to different areas on the board, which may be either ahead or behind of the player's current space.
Gingerbread Plum Trees: Help Plumpy (the last of the Plumpa trolls) collect plums for pies. Do this by clicking on him to tickle him so he'll surrender a plum.
Licorice Castle: Lord Licorice has a telescope mounted atop his castle through which you can view the whole of Candy Land.
Peppermint Forest: Mr. Mint, the royal lumberjack, tutors you in how to make freeform music on a hodgepodge of instruments.
Gumdrop Mountains: Jolly, the official Gumdrop Mountain Greeter, enlists your help to restore color to the Gumdrop Mountains. Do this by selecting gumdrop colors that Jolly can place in his spoon-shaped catapult to launch toward the mountain.
Peanut Brittle House: Help Grandma Nut grow candy by planting seeds of chocolate chips, caramel chunks, etc. in mounds and watering them. Also, help her redecorate her house.
Lollipop Woods: Princess Lolly offers the opportunity to help decorate lollipops with designs that come from a coloring machine that the player can control.
Ice Cream Sea: Create an enormous ice cream sundae and then request that the fairy set it adrift on the ice cream sea to be devoured wholesale by a whale.
Molasses Swamp: Gloppy, the curator of the swamp, is just happy to see the player. Children will have fun interacting with the surroundings.

Christi's Creative Crew: New Tool Announcement!!
This new tool was announced at the OnStage Live event in Utah last week. Even though I was not able to attend the event in Utah, I'm thankful that we are able to share this video with you to introduce it to you before it's release.
What is cool is that Stampin' Up! has been working on making this tool - The Stamparatus - for a couples years at least.
If you notice on the side bar of my blog I have been a part of the L2L (Leader to Leader) Board from the very beginning. What an honor to be a part of bringing this tool to you.
Many of you may already own a stamp positioning tool called the Misti. I knew the Stamparatus was coming out so I never invested in the Misti, and it certainly was hard to keep my mouth shut when you all were talking about your Misti tool. I just wanted to scream - "no - wait! you will WANT TO WAIT!!" but I was under contract not to reveal anything.
**Note; you cannot reserve one until November 16th.
This is the first time that Stampin' Up! is doing a reservation - this is to help to keep from having so many back orders when it comes out in the annual catalog on June 1st.
When you place your reservation you will add your credit card number but you will not be charged until the Stamparatus is ready to ship to you. You will get a notice (email) from Stampin' Up! saying that the product is available and at that time you will be asked if you want to continue with your purchase.

Added to NRHP
Boulevard Park is a historic residential neighborhood located in Sacramento, California. It is also the Boulevard Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
3 Schools
This neighborhood's official borders are: E Street to the north; J Street to the south; 16th Street to the west; and 24th Street to the east.[2]
The new subdivision of Boulevard Park, the second subdivision after Oak Park but the first within city limits, was originally formed on what was previously the old state fairgrounds and its racetrack.[3][4] It was in 1905 that the land was sold to developers who converted the fairgrounds and divided the land into three subsections.
After World War II, many original homeowners of the subdivision sold their homes and moved into newer suburbs, altering the atmosphere of the neighborhood as some of the new landlords used the homes as boarding houses.[4] Urban renewal in the 1970s reclaimed the Boulevard Park area and homes were restored to their former architectural glory. Many are Historic district contributing properties.
Today, the subdivision consists of about 300 buildings and it is the largest neighborhood in Sacramento on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]

Question: When do student athletes say they need space?

How do student athletes feel about time demands?
What is a typical day for a student athlete?

How much sleep does Lebron James get?
What benefits do D1 athletes get?
Whats the easiest sport to get a scholarship?
Now back to "this." Since the NCAA Board of Directors voted Wednesday to approve their NIL (names, images or likeness) thing, athletes can earn as many bucks as they wish through monetizing their social media accounts, teaching camps or lessons, signing autographs and a bunch of other entities.
For student athletes in particular, research suggests its better to get at least nine4 or 105 hours. School-age children (ages 6-12 years) need at least 9-11 hours. One study on college athletes found that 72% of them napped6 on a regular basis.
Over 1/3/ of NCAA athletes say athletic time demands do not allow them to take desired classes. Between 66%-76% of DI and DII athletes would prefer to spend more time on academics. D-I baseball and men and womens basketball players miss more than 2 classes per week because of athletic time demands during the season.
Generally speaking, a College athlete will have three hours of classes per day on average. Theyll also be at practice for two hours a day, with an hour either side for prehab and rehab.
On June 30, 2021, the Division 1 Board of Directors approved an interim name, image and likeness (NIL) policy. This new policy allows all NCAA D1, D2 and D3 student-athletes to be compensated for their NIL as of July 1, 2021, regardless of whether their state has a NIL law in place or not.
College athletes, especially those involved in big-time college sports like Division I football and basketball, tend to take easier courses and earn lower grades than nonathletes.
A typical college student normally wakes up around 8 or 9 a.m., or even sometimes as late as 11 a.m., while most student-athletes are waking up for early morning practice around 5 a.m.
That being said, there are meaningful benefits to being a Division 1 athlete. It is no secret that D1 schools have more financial backing, generally resulting in better facilities, higher-paid coaches, more scholarship money, and more considerable resources.
The NCAA still does not allow colleges and universities to pay athletes like professional sports leagues pay their players—with salaries and benefits—but the new changes will allow college athletes to solicit endorsement deals, sell their own merchandise, and make money off of their social media accounts.
What is the hardest sport to get a scholarship in?19.7% American Football.24.9% Basketball.1.7% Baseball.34.1% Track and Field.8.7% Soccer.11.0% Other.Jun 2, 2021
According to the California Interscholastic Federation, California high school athletes can profit from their NIL, as long as they do not use their high schools name or marks.
Usually, student-athletes miss one to two days of classes due to games and travel. That may not seem like many, but having to miss one to two days each week during the semester add up. Constant and weekly communication with professors is necessary.
One struggle athletes face is fatigue and lack of sleep from the demands of both their sport and their classes. Student athletes also tend to deal with added pressure and stress. Like every student, athletes need to pass their classes, but unlike regular students, they are required to uphold a certain GPA.
He is usually asleep around 9:30-9:45 p.m. and gets up around 6:30-7 a.m. During the handful of days leading up to a race, Chris tries to get a lot of sleep stored, knowing that the race day morning will be an early wake up.
12 hours When it comes to sleep, Lebron has long recognised the benefits of getting enough and typically averages 12 hours of sleep a day. He wakes up at 5am after getting at least 8–9 hours of sleep, and will nap throughout the day.
As we said before, lacrosse, ice hockey, and baseball are the easiest mens sports to get a scholarship in. A good way to measure this is by looking at the percentage of high school athletes that advance to play in college and receive some kind of athletic scholarship.


I usually write either science fiction or fantasy. Both genres give me the freedom to explore the possibilities of other worlds and realities, their life forms, their ecosystems, and the way the characters respond to and meet the challenges presented to them in these environments.
Haunted World is a fantasy novel set on an earth struggling to rebuild itself centuries after an apocalyptic natural disaster. Only two human populations survive. Unfortunately, our species' ancient penchant for war remains and has raised its vicious head. When Ranger-Colonel Dermot O'Donnell's Fourth Regiment sets out to prevent inevitable invasion by fortifying the one breach in the otherwise impervious barrier separating his people from their enemies, he expects to encounter trouble from the savage environment and is not disappointed. What he does not realize is that the super volcanoes which ravaged the continent, taking out almost every living thing on it six centuries previously, did not erase every trace of its victims. The spirits of a massive column of refugees remain, guarding the place to which the soldiers have come. When the anticipated invasion begins early, long before effective defenses can be prepared, the Fourth's only hope of survival lies in gaining the favor of the ghosts and their willingness to wield the terrible force that exterminated them.
I read and have read many fine authors, but my favorites are J.R.R. Tolkien, Andre Norton, and C.S. Lewis.
Write. Even if it's just to keep a diary or journal at first. It's the only way to learn how to use words, how to get them to convey your ideas and emotions to others. They are to us what notes are to musicians and paints are to artists.
Read. See how other authors use words, images, emotions.
Research, whether you're doing fiction or nonfiction. It's necessary, and it's fun. If you don't like your subject, you shouldn't be punishing yourself by immersing yourself in it for the length of time it takes to write a book. – I'm not referring to school assignments, of course. Those, you must do, so strive to do them well. It will add to your skills.
Remember, once you seriously begin to write, you may have to wait a while to be a published author, but you are an author. Don't lose that knowledge.
On my website, www.pmgriffin.com It contains descriptive material, cover artwork, and ordering information. There is also a brief biography.
Charlotte Volnek of MuseItUp Publishing. Charlie does a marvelous job in fitting her covers to the books in question, and it's a joy to work with her.
Research is essential, especially in my fields. One has to know this world to create others. I use the internet to some extent, and DVDs and videos are a good source of information, but I prefer hard-copy books. I simply find them easier to use for the kind of checking and cross-checking I like to do. In fact, the bulk of my pleasure reading is nonfiction. If well-written, such works are as gripping as any novel.
The moment when I knew I must write is fixed in my memory. I was in the second grade, seven years old, and I had borrowed Andre Norton's Star Rangers on my first visit to the public library. (I was reading well above my age norm.) One scene so affected me that I knew I had to do the same thing, that I had to create on the same level, had to give on the same level. I'm describing all this as an adult, naturally, but I've never seriously wanted anything else. That does not meant I didn't intend to support myself and live as a decent, functioning human being as well. As a point of interest, Miss Norton once said the scene which so moved me was the only one she had ever written that fully expressed her own inner thoughts and feelings about it.

My Bloody Valentine "mbv"
[Self Released; 2013]
Shortly after 9 p.m. on February 4th, the indie rock universe imploded with one simple message on My Bloody Valentine's Facebook page: "We are preparing to go live with the new album/website this evening. We will make an announcement as soon as it's up." As if preparing for an eminent bomb, fans raced to their Twitter accounts, all a-tizzy about what had to be a preeminent April Fool's joke. Since the band's last release in 1991 "Loveless," front man Kevin Shields has been hinting at the release of a new album for over two decades, making the next MBV album the indie music equivalent of "Chinese Democracy." But there it was, on the front page of Facebook, a promise that a new MBV album would be running through millions of ear buds and speakers within only hours.
And when the band actually went through on their word and released the album independently on their own website? Well, the fallout from the impact was instant. With so many rabid fans bombarding their website, many spent the majority of the night facing one 404 message after another, relaying the message that the website had crashed instantaneously.

Matt Bonner – Our DIY NBA Hero
Here at BDWPS we focus on the world of music, but on this special weekend, I ask you to turn your attention to the NBA All-Star Game festivities. I have a lot of friends that speak of the NBA with disdain, often labeling the players as "thugs" or "money hungry," yet these same people will watch an entire weekend of NFL football without blinking an eye at the cheap shots, late hits, and overall self-glorification seen after each tackle and first down. If you are one of those who turned your back on the NBA after the likes of Jordan and Bird retired, let me assure you, there are still athletes within the league who play with the same passion and humility (Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Love, to name a few).

Q: Bind WPF ComboBox SelectedValue-property to multiple objects Let's say I have a list of Customers (List) and each Customer has a State-property.
Is it possible to bind the SelectedValue of a ComboBox, so that it shows (has a SelectedValue of) e.g. "WA" if all Customers have WA as their State?
If the customers have different State-values nothing is shown.
But if I then choose OR, then all Customers should have their State set to this value.
I've accompliced it through a ValueConverter, where I use the Convert method to return the value of the State-property if they're all the same, and null if not. In this method the value-parameter is a List...
But in the ConvertBack method I don't have access to the List object, but could set the parameter object to the List object i XAML when setting up the binding, and then setting the State-property manually on all Customers, but that just doesn't feel right!
Is there any other way to do this?

A: Well - forgot to update this questing with my solution.
On my ValueConverter I have a private List parameter, where I add all selected customers if they have the same State-property.
Then in the ConvertBack-method I just update the State of all the Customer-objects in the List...
