Foreclosure in Virginia — Shenandoah Legal Group, P.C.
Foreclosure is the process by which a lender ends a borrower's interest in real property, either to acquire title or cause a sale, to satisfy an unpaid debt secured by the realty.* In Virginia, lenders may pursue either judicial or non-judicial means of foreclosure. Judicial foreclosures operate through the court system, while non-judicial foreclosures occur outside of the court system under the terms of a contract. As a practical matter, the great majority of Virginia foreclosures are non-judicial.
Non-judicial foreclosures are often referred to as "power-of-sale" foreclosures. Power of sale refers to a power specifically detailed and granted by a contract which permits a party to sell the real estate under certain circumstances and with certain requirements. The relevant documents that enable this process are typically a promissory note and a deed of trust. The deed of trust appoints a "Trustee" with a power of sale to foreclose upon the property in the event of a default on the related note.
While notice requirements and procedures are required by the contract and by certain federal and state statutes, the non-judicial foreclosure process is often markedly less burdensome for the lender than a judicial foreclosure. Because of the availability and operations of its non-judicial process, Virginia's foreclosure system is frequently painted by commentators as more favorable to creditors than are many other jurisdictions. So long as the lender complies with its statutory and contractual obligations, the pace of the non-judicial process is largely in the lenders control – most often unimpeded by delays of the court system.
Considering these conditions, creditors can most advantageously posture themselves for an expedient foreclosure when they maintain records that are readily accessible, complete, and accurate. While there are procedures to operate in the absence of the original deed of trust and promissory note, it is best practice to maintain both of those records in original form.
Finally, certain federal and state statutes and regulations must be navigated during this process. Perhaps most notable of these regimes is the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, but depending on the circumstances, other requirements and proscriptions arise when either a Veteran's Affairs (VA) Loan, Federal Housing Administration loans, or Bankruptcy occur in the scenario. This is why it is best to consult a knowledgeable attorney before pursuing foreclosure for appropriate legal guidance.

That post was so popular I asked Cooper for more ways anyone can make a workday more productive without putting in extra hours.
Rework your to do list – limit the number of items you put on it, and write it the night before, so you can focus only on today.
Measure your results, not your time – evaluate yourself by what you get done, rather than the time it takes to get something done.
Build habits to help you start working – e.g., build a routine that tells your body and brain that it's time to work.
Track where you waste time – and do something about it.
Build habits to help you stop working – quit while you're ahead, set a firm cut-off time, plan something cool for after work, or create a wind-down routine.
So much good stuff there. Now to stop wasting time writing blog posts and crack on!


Hi, Brenda here and it's my turn for the next LRW Challenge theme. This week, we're busting it wide open! All you need to do is use something new when making your creation. This means you could use a new stamp or a new tool or a new technique or a new die...you get the picture.
I used a new digi, Broom Flying Birdbrain by From the Heart Digital Stamps. I also used Gelatos for the first time and loved them.
We look forward to hearing about your "new" and even what you liked about it if it was a new tool or new technique. Be sure to visit the Girlfriends for more inspiration. Can't wait to see what you create!
Link up for this weeks challenge!
Cute card Brenda! That little bird is so cute!
This is a great challenge idea!! I enjoyed trying a new twist on a favorite technique of mine!!
Oh, Janis! I'm so glad you were inspired and took the time to share with us at lrw!
Challenge # 306 - Digi Do!


I created this illustration to help raise money for Keith Tamashiro's mounting hospital bills after he suffered a untimely brain aneurysm. Stussy produced over 200 of the t-shrts at no charge & they were for sale at 3 special events to help out our friend. Keith is getting well.


Visionary Underground is a technology driven, audiovisual drum'n'bass/breakbeat band from London. At VU's core, DJ Feelfree's distinctive, driving beats are laced with UK hip hop, ragga, soul, dub and Asian flavas and accompanied by VJ Coco's vibrant, interactive visuals. Damion Mulrain's soaring vocals are a perfect counterpoint to the fluid delivery of rapper Duane Flames. Collectively, they ably demonstrate that they have a finger on the pulse of the nation's psyche. Their live performances, delivered with energy and passion, are underpinned by the mighty, melodic basslines of Dr Das (founder member and formerly of Asian Dub Foundation).
The debut album "Keep The Grime On" saw many guest collaborations but new album "Fired Up" reverts to a more traditional format of featuring mainly only band members.
Reflecting Visionary Underground's independent nature, VU Recordings, their own label was created to overcome the lethargy of, and lack of opportunity in the music industry. "When no-one gives you an opportunity – you have to make your own".
VU have always embraced internet technology and acknowledged it as a powerful tool that can help you reach people all over the world. Since their conception, they have given away many MP3 downloads from the VU site. "It's a good way of introducing people to our sound and also gives something back to all those that have been supporting us".

A Rocket To The Moon
Did I just say I was holding onto my Chicago scene a little? Well if any of my past interviews with Boston bands show for anything like View From An Airplane, The Bay State and Lannen Fall, the biggest example of me following the Boston local scene would come across in my coverage of A Rocket To The Moon. Writing up my latest interview with them, I'€™ve realized that since November Music Remedy has really followed this talented band'€™s career over such a short time through our conversations with them!
Dropping their debut full length, touring with everyone from We The Kings to Hanson who are their current tour mates, this young quartet has quickly grown. Catching sets from the boys over the past few months while covering local shows, I definitely was up for sitting down with Eric Halvorsen via the interwebs while two of the other tour mates were on Warped Tour this summer playing acoustic sets! This time around, we talked about both the serious and the silly. The boys have dropped the news that they'€™ll be both be touring as main support for All Time Low this fall along with announcing the release of their new EP on November 5th that features both re-done tracks from '€™On Your Side'€™ along with a cover of '€™Single Ladies'€™. Also get a sneak peek of the new Rocket video concept that Eric and James Cameron have been collaborating on! It'€™s a winner.
Last time we talked with the band, you were planning to put out some new music and I know you'€™ve put out a new song. When can kids maybe look forward to new music?
As far as a new album, kids might have to wait for a little while for that. But we are planning on releasing some special stuff like an EP of songs from '€˜On Your Side'€™ that we re-did with our friends in Larkin Poe. I am not too sure when that is coming out though.
Are you writing/recording a new album/ep maybe?
Last tour that we did we were throwing around a lot of ideas for songs! Justin is always writing stuff too because he is a machine haha. Hopefully we can get back in the studio soon.
You'€™ll be hitting the road later this summer with the iconic band Hanson. What are you most looking forward to from this experience?
I personally am looking forward to playing to a different audience. I know that our fans will be there as well but Hanson has such a dedicated fan base and I'€™m really excited to see how they react to us. I am also looking forward to watching them every single night. They have so many great songs and seeing those live I'€™m sure will be quite entertaining.
Since this band originally started as a solo project, how do you feel now that it'€™s a full band the sound has really matured?
I am just happy that we finally have a solid line up. I was the first permanent member to be added and before Justin and Andrew joined up, there were a lot of line up changes which can wear on the band a lot. So now that we are all on the same page, it feels really great. I definitely think things have matured a lot too. If you come out to a live show, you can tell just by watching the set. I'€™m happy with how things are moving.
You recently put out the video for '€œLike We Used To'€. If you could pick any other track off the new record to do a video for, what song would it be and what'€™s the craziest concept you could think of?
I would like to do one for '€œShe'€™s Killing Me'€ because I think it'€™s a fun song that would work well with a video. As far as crazy concepts go, I'€™m thinking of maybe signing on James Cameron and doing the most expensive video ever. 3D obviously, hover crafts, aliens, the whole deal. Be on the look out for that.
Finally, what can fans look forward to within these next few months? More shows, touring, new music?
Fans can catch us this fall with Hanson and then we will be releasing some more shows for the rest of the fall. So come catch us on tour!

In 1903, among the three hundred Indian children living at a boarding school in a remote valley in Montana were a handful of teenage girls. They quickly learned to play basketball and resoundingly crushed all opponents, including men's and women's university teams. In less than one year after first seeing a basketball, they were crowned the First World Champions of Basketball at St. Louis' World's Fair. This is the story of that team, seen through the eyes of star player, Minnie Burton.

A Small Affordable Electric Pickup Truck? GM Design Is Playing With the Idea
Back in March 2020, General Motors CEO Mary Barra announced an array of all-new, all-electric vehicles were actively in development. Now, nearly two years later, GM has revealed an in-house design studio devoted to the development of next-gen Ultium EVs, one of which might be a compact all-electric pickup that's being actively worked on.
A group of media including Automotive News were reportedly invited to a General Motors "affordable EV design studio" in Warren, Michigan, where it revealed a "baby pickup" said to be smaller than the compact Ford Maverick, among a room full of conceptual clay models. GM did not release any public images or details of the studio nor truck, but Auto News says marketing materials showed the pickup being used for recreational activities, like going to the beach to surf.
Michael Pevovar, the director of the affordable EV design studio, told reporters that the vehicles in development, including the new tiny pickup, are "to get a reaction" to what does and doesn't work for vehicles being considered for production, according to Auto News. Pevovar further elaborated that the concept could get bigger if it's determined to be too small, given the flexibility of the scalable Ultium battery-based platform.
The GM EV truck concept was apparently in a two-door configuration with around a 4-foot-long bed and low, sporty roofline, likely at a target starting price under $30,000 if it ever were to go into production. In March of 2020, GM CEO Mary Barra showed off a brief teaser video showing the silhouettes of multiple vehicles including sedans, SUVs, a van, and likely our new small pickup. She announced that each of the vehicles teased was "real," though she stopped short of committing that they would all be ultimately produced.
GM's goal is to have an all-electric lineup by 2035, with the CEO claiming the automaker will offer a new electric model for every customer's need, many of which will hopefully come from this affordability studio. We only hesitate to get excited about this small pickup concept because GM is hesitant to show it off, but given strong truck sales and growing EV sales in the U.S., maybe it's time for someone to bring back the mini-truck. After all, look how popular the cheap, efficient Ford Maverick has been—make that electric and just as cheap… and GM could have a winner, too.

Nathaniel Hawthorne earned his fame for two novels "The House of Seven Gables," and "The Scarlet Letter," the latter known as his greatest work and one of America's greatest novels. This poster is a great way to introduce students to this classic American author.


Ubuntu Forums > The Ubuntu Forum Community > Ubuntu Community Discussions > The Cafe > My computer tried to boot from my sansa fuze!
View Full Version : My computer tried to boot from my sansa fuze!
This is so interesting! Last night I plugged in my fuze because the battery was low, and then it was 9. I shut down. About 20 minutes ago, I tried to boot up, and the bios wouldn't load for about 10 minutes. And then a few more tries of the same result, I was dumbstruck! And then I unplugged my sansa, and powered down, it booted! I tried it a few more times. The wierdest thing though is, even though I have my computer set to boot from a USB before a hard drive OR disk, when I insert a normal usb stick with no boot parameters, or anything, my bios skipps it. This leading to the assumption that my bios tried to boot from my sansa. Why would this be? And how?
Your sansa apparently has a valid MBR on it while your normal usb stick doesn't. So the bios loaded the MBR from the sansa and transferred execution to it. However, the code contained therein would only be valid if the sansa is the hardware being booted, hence the lockup.
Huh. Interesting. It would be interesting if it ACTUALLY booted wouldn't it?
My psp is recognised as a wait for it..... a disk lol:lolflag:.
But my psp is recognized as an ACTUAL CD?????
What? if you mean it's recognised as a Removable Disk then no it's not a CD. The Computer is picking it up as a storage device, it won't specify what Device but it will just call it a Removable Disk.
If it was picking it up as an actual 700Mb CD then something is seriously wrong. I can't even imagine how that would happen.
My Computer sometimes attempts a boot from USB devices if I leave them Plugged in, I think its just that some devices have some form of MBR to actually load the device and the BIOS picks up on it but it obviously can't execute the code.
Thats strange because a sansa c250 prevents my computer from booting.
But AFAIK my sansa fuze does not prevent it from booting.


The Jardin Exotique et Botanique at Roscoff is an extraordinary garden which started in 1986 when the Department of Finistère bought the Roc d'Hievec and gifted it to Roscoff. Two remarkable men, Louis Kerdilès and Daniel Person, then created a garden which today is pure delight, with plants from around the world and nearly one third from South Africa – so I felt at home!
I started in the hothouses where the succulents were astounding.

Q: Can't extract file with non-ascii name from zip archive I am using Linux Slackware 14, downloaded a zip archive with a file, containing Russian characters in it's name. Now when I try to unzip it in console, it prints an error and doesn't unzip:

The Magic Numbers è l'album omonimo di debutto di The Magic Numbers. È stato nominato per un Mercury Music Prize nel 2005. I ruoli di songwriting sono stati assunti da Romeo Stodart, così come gran parte della composizione e arrangiamento musicale. Incorporava la precedente versione singola di Hymn for Her come traccia nascosta. L'album incorpora molti elementi folk all'interno del principale suono indie che risuona ovunque. L'album riflette anche molti elementi dei sogni degli scrittori della prima infanzia, storie della loro vita amorosa e disperazione della giovinezza. Ad esempio, Love Me Like You, il singolo più noto dell'album, illustra la differenza di sentimento nel loro amore reciproco.
The Magic Numbers ha iniziato a registrare l'album alla fine del 2004 ai Metropolis Studios di Chiswick. L'album è stato coprodotto da Romeo Stodart e dal produttore americano Craig Silvey.
L'album è stato nominato per il Mercury Prize nel 2005, ma ha perso con I Am a Bird Now di Antony e Johnsons. The Magic Numbers è arrivato al 43º posto nella classifica dei 50 migliori album di PopMatters del 2005.

Paul Silas' son Stephen absent as Rockets upset Bucks: Win dedicated to Coach after father's death
Houston Rockets coach Stephen Silas was absent from Sunday's upset win over the Milwaukee Bucks as he and his family continue to mourn the loss of their father, former NBA All-Star Paul Silas.
The 79-year-old former power forward and head coach died Saturday of cardiac arrest, his family told The New York Times. The Boston Globe first reported Paul Silas' passing.
Led by assistant coach John Lucas, another former NBA player and head coach, Stephen's young Rockets roster topped two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, 97-92. Afterwards, Lucas dedicated the win to Stephen: "It's for Coach. It's for him.

It's still not known how long Stephen will be out for the Rockets, but he and his family were certainly on the minds of those in attendance at Sunday's game in Houston.
The team held a moment of silence for Paul before tip-off, and Lucas — a frequent opponent of the elder Silas — shared some thoughts about his passing with reporters.
"From the team, the coaching staff, the entire basketball staff, all of our prayers and thoughts are with the coach and his family right now," Lucas said to begin his pregame availability. "Paul Silas did a lot for basketball."
Aside from winning a pair of NBA titles with the Boston Celtics in 1974 and 1976, and another with the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979, Silas was known as one of the game's best rebounders and most ferocious defenders. He later built his reputation on the NBA sidelines as a tough, yet mild-mannered head coach with the San Diego Clippers, Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Aside from winning a pair of NBA titles with the Boston Celtics in 1974 and 1976, and another with the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979, Paul Silas was known as one of the game's best rebounders and most ferocious defenders. He later built his reputation on the NBA sidelines as a hard-nosed yet mild-mannered head coach with the San Diego Clippers, Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers
Paul's place in the game was a constant for Stephen throughout his life. Amazingly, according to the Houston Chronicle, his first words were "Jo Jo White," as in his father's longtime teammate and Celtics point guard.
The 49-year-old Stephen didn't follow his father into an NBA playing career, but the former Brown University guard earned his place in the coaching ranks as a journeyman assistant with seven different teams before being hired as the head coach at Houston two. Years ago.
Since then, Stephen has helped develop the Rockets' largely inexperienced roster, even though the team sits in last place in the Western Conference at 8-18.
When asked about his missing coach on Sunday, forward Kenyon Martin Jr. to the Houston Chronicle that he and Stephen have bonded through growing up in NBA circles. Like the younger Silas, Martin's father was also an All-Star power forward.
"He and I have been in the same position, he has been in that environment when he grew up and had an understanding of basketball, and with me my father plays. Following in the footsteps of our fathers and having them in our corner and them being hard on us, it's kind of cool to have those conversations.'

Stephen was never embarrassed to be Paul's son, instead he took pride in his father's career.
Speaking about his father last June, Stephen said he embraced his father's legacy, rather than trying to shy away from it.
"Being the son of Paul Silas has always been great for me, and of course it comes with challenges for me, but I've never shied away from it," Stephen said, as quoted by the Chronicle. "I haven't really done anything to separate myself or try to make people think I'm my own man and all that. I have too much respect for him and what he's done, what he's done for me.'
And of course, Paul was happy to play the part of proud father in 2019 when Stephen was hired to coach the Rockets – a job he had once been passed over for in 2003.
"I told him it was going to happen," Paul told the Chronicle at the time. "I knew it was going to happen for him. They wanted to get him. He said, "I don't think it's going to happen, Dad." I said, "It is." And it did. I'm just happy as hell.
It's still not known when Stephen Silas will return to the floor, but there doesn't seem to be much pressure for him to rush back.
Martin went on to say that the team wants him to take time to return to the field.
"We kind of have that similarity, so I kind of understand him," Martin said. "We don't know how long Coach is going to be out. We want him to get the headspace right. We want to go out there, play hard and get a couple of wins for him.'
Silas, pictured in 1971, was an All-Star in 1971-72 and again in 1974-75

Nigeria declares state of emergency in three states
Nigeria has declared a "state of emergency" in three states where the Islamist group Boko Haram is rife.

10:50PM BST 14 May 2013
President Goodluck Jonathan declared the states of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, the three hardest hit by the insurgency.
He said more troops would "immediately" be deployed to the areas.
Mr Jonathan made a similar move in January last year following a spate of Boko Haram attacks, but in that case the decree only applied to specific local government areas in four states.
In seeking to impose the measure across a whole state, Jonathan must first secure the approval of Nigerian legislators, which he pledged to do.
The enhanced powers that come with the measure are unclear.
Nigerian cult ambush kills 46 policemen
Boko Haram attack leaves over 50 dead
Nigeria bloodbath 'cover up' satellite images emerge
When former President Olusegun Obasanjo invoked the measure twice in 2004 and 2006, he removed democratically elected governors and installed appointed administrators to manage the states, both former military officers.
Mr Jonathan vowed that he would not employ that measure.
"The governors and other political office holders in the affected states will continue to discharge their constitutional responsibilities," he said.
The Boko Haram insurgency, which the group says is aimed at creating an Islamic state in the country's mainly Muslim north, has cost some 3,600 lives since 2009, including killings by the security forces.
But a series of recent brazen attacks have raised concerns that insurgents have become emboldened, with Jonathan saying that the latest violence amounted to "a declaration of war".

DERMO28	Category: R&D LABORATORIES
Skin ageing is a natural process that begins after the age of 25. It is due to a slowdown in the production of Collagen and Elastin fibers, and also to the deterioration of the cellular membrane. Therefore, effectively preventing the onset of these events is essential to have a younger skin, for longer.
The DERMO28 R&D Laboratories created the PROAGE Collection, rich in specific active ingredients that slow down the skin ageing process:
Lecithin – mixture of phospholipids of plant origin, its main component is phosphatidylcholine, able to restore the intracellular lipids of the stratum corneum. It has great moisturising properties, reduces desquamation and helps restore tissue elasticity.
Urea – also known as Carbamide, is an amide of Carbamic Ccid, is known for its moisturising and softening properties. It is naturally present on the skin as it is the NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor) of the epidermis. If applied also from the outside, it plays a fundamental role in maintaining optimal hydration. It also has keratolytic properties, in fact it stimulates cell regeneration, leaving the skin soft and firm.
Metillamide Cellulose Gum – is a substance able to penetrate deep into the skin and that acts directly on fibroblasts, increasing the production of Collagen.
Don't wait for your skin to show the first signs of ageing, prevent them with PROAGE!

Marcelino hire shows Athletic Club are serious about a return to glory
The 55-year-old is back in Spanish soccer after his sacking as Valencia boss at the end of the 2018/19 season.

Athletic Club are hoping Marcelino (center) can lead the club back to the top. Luis Tejido/EPA.
Valencia hadn't enjoyed a period of success like it in a decade, yet Copa del Rey glory and Champions League qualification wasn't enough to keep Marcelino in his job at Mestalla. Within weeks of the memorable cup final win over Barcelona in May 2019, the 55-year-old was fired amid a dispute with the club's owner.
Peter Lim's decision was grossly unpopular with the Valencia supporters. Protests took place in the streets around Mestalla with Lim targeted for what most saw as negligence at the executive level. The way Valencia have collapsed, both on and off the field, in the time since Marcelino's departure has only bolstered his reputation further.
Now, after 18 months, Marcelino is back in Spanish soccer, appointed Athletic Club's new head coach after the sacking of Gaizka Garitano. He will take charge of his first match against Barcelona on Wednesday and while there will be no fans in the stands at San Mames, Athletic fans are entitled to be excited about the future.
Marcelino initially wanted his next job to come somewhere outside Spain. His name was linked with vacancies at Arsenal and Everton last year only for both Premier League clubs to opt for other candidates. In the end, it was in La Liga where Marcelino's reputation remains heaviest and in Athletic Club he has been handed the reigns to one of the country's biggest and most historic institutions.
"Until 72 hours ago, I had the idea of leaving Spain," Marcelino admitted in his first press conference as Athletic Club head coach. "We then thought that this was the only opportunity I had to coach this great club and we decided to come here. We were attracted to the idea. We are very excited. We thank the club for having thought of us for this project."
Garitano's exit from San Mames was a long time in coming. Athletic Club had stagnated as a team under his stewardship. There were signs of progress from time to time, but they were almost always followed by regression. New ideas are needed to reinvigorate the Basque club and Marcelino was the best option to bring this.
The squad at San Mames is a talented one. Inigo Martinez and Yeray have the potential to forge one of the strongest center back partnerships in La Liga. Yuri Berchiche is a good outlet down the left, while Unai Simon looks set to be Spain's first choice goalkeeper for this summer's European Championships.
Then there's Iñaki Williams. Long tipped for the top, the 26-year-old has the natural talent and physical attributes to be Athletic Club's brightest star. Consistency, or a lack thereof, has been an issue throughout his career, with the Spain international also struggling to nail down a specific position in a team, but Marcelino could be the one to get the most out of Williams.
As eight-times Spanish champions, Athletic Club are traditionally the Basque Country's predominant force. The last two seasons, however, have seen Real Sociedad fly the flag for the region near the top of La Liga, with Imanol Alguacil's side outsiders in this season's title race having just missed out on Champions League qualification last season. When David Silva, one of the best Spanish players of his generation, looked to the Basque Country after leaving Manchester City last season, he joined La Real and not Athletic.
Real Sociedad's victory at San Mames last week was one of the things that contributed to Garitano's exit from Athletic Club and one of Marcelino's biggest tasks as the club's new head coach will be to change the dynamic between the two Basque rivals. Athletic Club see themselves as the Basque Country's biggest and most successful club. In their eyes, it's time their current results matched that standing.
Athletic Club have enjoyed some good results and performances against Barcelona in recent years. 2019 saw the Basque club claim a home victory over the Catalans, with Aritz Aduriz scoring a spectacular stoppage time winner on the opening day of the season. Marcelino would take another moment like that on Wednesday.
It will take some time for the new man in charge to change Athletic Club's course. Of course, Marcelino won't be able to enter the transfer market like he would at another club such is the way the Basque club operates. He will need to find reinforcements within Athletic Club's youth ranks, but Marcelino could be the ideal appointment for a difficult job.

A Japanese international airline pilot will spend most of next year in the unfamiliar surroundings of an English prison after being jailed for one of the worst things a pilot can do.
Japan Airlines pilot Katsutoshi Jitsukawa was drunk on duty – not just marginally over the alcohol limit but almost 10 times over – just before he was due to take off from London for Tokyo in a B777-300, a flight sector of almost 12 hours.
Jitsukawa, 42, pleaded guilty. In London's Isleworth Crown Court on Friday, Judge Phillip Matthews jailed him for 10 months.
Handing down the sentence, the judge told Jitsukawa "the prospect of you taking over control of that aircraft is too appalling to contemplate", adding that Jitsukawa had put passengers at risk and the consequences could have been "catastrophic".
Jitsukawa's arrest reportedly led Japan Airlines to crack down on its pilots' alcohol consumption. The airline has ordered many of its staff to be breathalysed before working. It has banned all pilots from drinking alcohol within 24 hours of reporting for a flight from Japan – and has forbidden them to consume alcohol during on-duty stays, whether in Japan or abroad.
The airline believes Jitsukawa falsified breath test results by exploiting the breathalyser model it was using at the time of his arrest.
Jitsukawa was arrested on 28 October 2018, after disturbing rumours of a drunken pilot reached the ears of authorities. The driver of a crew bus smelled alcohol on Jitsukawa and reported it.
Jitsukawa pleaded guilty to having a blood alcohol level of 189mg per 100ml. The limit for commercial airline pilots is 20mg per 100ml.
Jitsukawa was scheduled as first officer on JAL flight JL44 from London Heathrow to Tokyo Haneda when he was removed from the aircraft and placed under arrest. The incident delayed the flight by over an hour.


Regular testing of smoke detectors is a must. If you're skeptical about the value of just pressing the "test" button, try smoke matches for a more real-world test that doesn't involve puffing on a cigar near your detector. are typically used for testing airflow in HVAC systems. They're a bit pricey at $20 for a pack of 25 matches, but still cheaper and less smelly than 25 cigars.

Extreme weather leads to more votes for green parties, study suggests
A wildfire rages through a forest - Copyright Canva
By Nichola Daunton • Updated: 09/02/2022
Europeans witnessed some of the continent's most extreme weather in 2021. From record-breaking snowfall in Madrid to historic wildfires in Greece, many countries were battered by floods, storms and fires.
And with more and more people experiencing extreme weather, voting patterns are changing too, according to a new study published in Nature Climate Change.
Researchers combined data from the Eurobarometer - which runs public opinion surveys across the EU - with Parliamentary electoral data and climatological figures.
What they found was that high temperature anomalies and dry weather have a significant effect on voting patterns at a subnational level, increasing votes for green parties.
Where are voter choices most affected by climate change?

While extreme weather events, such as the flooding of the German village of Schuld in July, have made headlines, their effect on voting patterns varies significantly across Europe.
The study, led by scientists from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) at the Wittgenstein Centre in Austria, discovered that geography plays a big role in whether people vote green after unusual weather patterns.
They found that the climate effect has a stronger influence on voters in cool and temperate regions of Europe with an Atlantic climate, such as France and Germany. While in contrast, the effect was weaker in regions with a warm Mediterranean climate like Greece and Italy.
"This is possibly due to the fact that the Mediterranean climate is already hot and dry in absolute terms, hence further deviations in temperature or rainfall may have little to no effect on environmental concerns and voting," explains Roman Hoffman, a researcher from the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital, where the research took place.
Voting choices appeared to be moderated by economic conditions too. According to the study, experiencing climate change first hand only lead to an increase in public support for climate action when the region has a strong economy.
Climate concern and green voters
Firefighters tackle a blazeCanva
As an example of this phenomenon, the researchers examined the wildfires that swept across large swathes of Greece in the summer of 2021. They found that while the natural disaster led to a rise in climate concern, this failed to translate into an upswing in votes for green parties.
"We think this is because wildfires are very destructive and can lead to major economic disruptions," Prof Raya Muttarak, one of the scientists working on the study, told Sky News.
"As a consequence, affected populations may tend to vote for more economically oriented parties to compensate for the losses rather than the green parties."
Similarly, wealthier metropolitan regions were more likely to vote for green parties than those in rural areas.
"Previous research has suggested that people's economic interests can lead to a crowding out of concerns for the environment, if there is a perceived trade-off between the two issues," says Hoffman.
"In the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2007–2008, for example, a substantial reduction in environmental concerns was observable across all European regions."

What does this mean for politicians?
Between 1980 and 2020, extreme weather and climate change events cost Europe up to €520 billion in economic losses, according to a report by the EEA. With the economic consequences of the crisis growing, the findings are particularly relevant to politicians looking to implement measures in line with the Paris Agreement and the EU Green Deal.
The research also suggests that if green parties want to increase their vote share across Europe, they will have to prove the economic benefits of voting for them, as well as the environmental ones.
"There are substantial differences in Europe as to how people perceive climate change risks and climate mitigation depending on the economic conditions, but also the demography and political climate in the regions," says Hoffman.
"Overcoming these major gaps is important to ensure that everyone is on board and that it is possible to generate the critical mass to implement climate mitigation and to realise the urgently needed sustainability transformation."

Underworld Characters Guide
Underworld: Blood WarsKate Beckinsale Underworld: Blood Wars
By Alyse Wax
Before the Blood Wars begin, take a look back the key Underworld characters
Underworld returns to the big screen for its fifth installment, Blood Wars, on January 7th. Blood Wars sees Kate Beckinsale reprise her role as Selene, the vampire, who must fight off attacks from both the vampires and the Lycans. This time, she teams with David (Theo James) and his father, Thomas (Charles Dance), to bring an end to the war between the two species.
Originally, Underworld: Blood Wars was conceived as a reboot to the franchise but instead became the fifth installment. Anna Foerster directed the film, making it her feature directorial debut. In the film, Selene must fight against both Lycan and vampire factions that want her and her daughter's blood in order to become hybrids. With many of the original characters now dead, there are not going to be many familiar faces in Blood Wars.
Underworld first hit movie screens thirteen years ago, in 2003. To get you ready for Blood Wars, we've got a handy-dandy overview of the Underworld characters who will appear in Blood Wars or who are otherwise important to the bigger franchise story.
Selene (Kate Beckinsale)
The undisputed lead of the Underworld films, Selene is a vampire and a Death Dealer, part of an elite squad of killers who exist in order to bring about the extinction of the Lycan race. At the end of the 13th century, when Selene was 19, her entire family — parents, sister, and nieces — were brutally murdered. Selene was always told the Lycans killed her family, but when she finds out that Vampire Elder Viktor, who sired her, was the one who really killed her family, Selene kills him.
Selene falls in love with Michael, whom the Lycans have been experimenting on, injecting him with the lycanthropy virus. Theirs is a forbidden, Romeo-and-Juliet romance. Michael is shot full of silver, and in order to save him, Selene infects him with her vampire virus, thus creating the first vampire-Lycan hybrid. In Underworld: Awakening, Selene is imprisoned and put into suspended animation. When she eventually escapes, she learns that she birthed a daughter, Eve, with Michael, and has hybrid blood.
Kate Beckinsale started her career working mostly in costume dramas and rom-coms. She was grateful for the change of pace that Underworld brought her, and has become known as an action star. She has a daughter, Lily, with former long-term boyfriend Michael Sheen. Sheen appeared in the first three Underworld films, but the two broke up during the filming of the original Underworld. Beckinsale fell for her director, Len Wiseman, and they were married in 2004. They separated in 2015.
Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman)
A descendant of Alexander Corvinus, the first true Immortal, Michael is hunted by the Lycans, who want to experiment on him to discover his genetic secrets. He is infected by the Lycan virus and saved by Selene's vampire virus, turning him into the first vampire-Lycan hybrid. Michael is a rather normal human until he falls in love with Selene and becomes a hybrid. He fathers Selene's daughter, Eve, though doesn't seem to know it. In the upcoming Blood Wars, Michael will be portrayed by actor Trent Garrett.
Scott Speedman is a former competitive swimmer who turned to acting when a neck injury kept him out of the pool. His first major role was on the TV series Felicity, with Underworld coming along the year after he finished Felicity.
David (Theo James)
David only joined the Underworld franchise in Awakening, but he will be the male lead in Blood Wars. He is a vampire who is desperate to be taught the ways of the Death Dealers by Selene. David died during a Lycan raid, but he was saved by Selene's hybrid blood, making him a hybrid.
Thomas (Charles Dance)
Thomas is David's father and a surviving Vampire Elder. He does not trust Selene, and openly dislikes her hybrid daughter. This changes a bit when Selene saves his son. Though Thomas is an Elder, David is the coven's de facto leader.
Markus and William Corvinus (Tony Curran and Brian Steele)
Markus was history's first vampire, and his twin brother, William, was the first werewolf. Their father, Alexander, was the first immortal, a trait which he passed on to his sons. Markus was bitten by a bat, and William was bitten by a wolf, thus turning them into the first of their kinds. It tore the family apart. William was unable to shift back to his human form, and the ferocity of his lycanthropism caused him to destroy and infect countless villages. Markus then created Viktor in the hopes of containing his brother. Markus hopes at some point to make his brother a hybrid, but he doesn't get a chance. Michael kills him.
Viktor (Bill Nighy)
Viktor was a warlord who was made a vampire by Markus Corvinus in the early 5th century. A ruthless Elder, Viktor was never afraid to manipulate others into following him, thus making him one of the most powerful Vampire Elders to ever live. As an example of his manipulation, Viktor killed Selene's family and sired her, then trained her to be a Death Dealer, encouraged by the belief that Lycans killed her family. When Selene discovers the truth, she kills Vikor with his own sword.
Sonja (Rhona Mitra)
The star of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Sonja was Viktor's daughter. She fell in love with Lucian, a Lycan slave (and the first of the Lycans that can shift between human and wolf form), and knowing her father would disapprove, married him in secret. When Viktor found out, he killed Sonja and her unborn child to protect the line of vampire purity, while Lucian watched. Sonja's murder is considered the catalyst in the war between the vampires and the Lycans.
New Characters: Semira and Marius (Lara Pulver and Tobias Menzies)
With so many of the original characters dead, it's time to bring in new blood to Blood Wars. Most notable are vampire Semira and Lycan Marius. Semira will be the leader of the Eastern Coven, and has been described as "fiercely ambitious." Marius, on the other hand, is the mysterious new leader of the Lycans.

A new land-sea corridor in the western region will open 78 new lines in 2022
The logistics network of the new western land-sea Corridor has covered 338 ports in 113 countries and regions
In the first three quarters of 2022, Chongqing transported 105,000 TEUs via the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, a year-on-year increase of 29 percent
China's new land and sea route in its western region is bucking the trend of global logistics disruptions caused by the pandemic. On November 16, the China-Laos Railway (Dazhou-Vientiane) international freight train was launched on the Western Land-Sea New Corridor. On November 17, the new Western land-Sea Corridor (Jiuquan -- Qinzhou Port -- Rotterdam) railway and Sea International combined train launched...
"Since 2022, 78 new lines of the western land-sea corridor have been opened, more than five times that of the whole year of 2021, creating a new high in the past five years." Liu Wei, director of the logistics and operation organization center of the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, said that under the complex situation such as the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the Western Land-Sea New Corridor has bucked the trend and "gone red".
With Chongqing as its operation center and the western provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities as key nodes, the new Western land-sea Corridor will run south through Guangxi, Yunnan and other coastal and border ports to reach all parts of the world by means of railway, sea transport and road, greatly shortening the time required to go to sea compared with the eastern region.
"Since 2022, the channel has expanded a number of new logistics routes between Chongqing, Guizhou, Ningxia and Gansu provinces and Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar." The channel logistics network now covers 338 ports in 113 countries and regions, Mr. Liu said.
The acceleration of the expansion of channel lines, driving the freight volume and value of the substantial growth. According to the Logistics and Operation Organization Center of the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, in the first three quarters of 2022, Chongqing transported 105,000 TEU via the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, a year-on-year increase of 29 percent, and the value of goods was 19.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 46 percent.
The "circle of friends" for cooperation is also expanding. In July 2022, Huaihua City in Hunan Province was integrated into the inter-provincial consultation and cooperation mechanism, marking the upgrading of the Western land-Sea New Corridor from the "13+1" cooperation mechanism between 12 western provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities with Hainan Province and Zhanjiang City in Guangdong Province to a new pattern of "13+2" cooperation.
On Nov. 17, a new railway link between Jiuquan and Qinzhou Port and Rotterdam was launched
The new channel of West Land and sea has great significance for solving the logistics problem of the western region and stimulating the opening potential of the west. In the past, Chongqing Yaopi Glass Co., Ltd. suffered from long shipping cycle when exporting its products to ASEAN countries. In 2022, with the support of the new land and sea passage in the West, the problem was solved.
The relevant person in charge of the company calculated an account: "The new western land-sea channel has provided us with efficient supply chain guarantee, the transportation time has been shortened from 32 days to 18 days, the logistics cost has been reduced by 50%, and the value of the company's exports has increased by 45 times year-on-year in the first three quarters of 2022."
Along the new land-to-sea corridor in the western region, more and more products featured in the western region, such as Xinjiang cantaloupe, Guizhou black tea, Xizang beef jerky and Chongqing Mahua, are entering the international market and becoming new growth points for local foreign trade.
"In recent years, I really feel that the concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits has been increasingly vivid and rich reflected along the corridor. More provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities want to join the cooperation mechanism and share the development opportunities created by the corridor." "Liu Wei said.
Consumers choose products at the International Consumption Center of the New Passage of Land and Sea in Jiefangbei, Chongqing
Countries and regions along the belt and road also share market opportunities through the new land and sea corridor in the west. The reporter has learned that more and more Thai durians can be placed on the supermarket counters in Chongqing and other western cities within 10 days by taking the bus on the cross-border highway of the new land-sea Corridor in the West, ensuring the freshness of the fruit to the greatest extent.
"Before the opening of the new land-sea corridor in the west, according to the traditional logistics routes, Thai durians had to be first transferred to local ports, transported by sea to cities in eastern China, and then transported to Chongqing via domestic trunk logistics, which was costly and time-consuming." Said Deng Hongjiu, chairman of Chongqing Hongjiu Fruit Co., LTD.
On the basis of trade in goods, our country is relying on the western land and sea new Corridor, exploring the construction of the "China-Cambodia banana Industrial Park" project with Cambodia, and building an integrated banana supply chain of "transport and trade production". Aiming at Malaysian palm oil, rubber, oil and other resources, promote the formation of new land and sea channels Malaysia supply chain resource center, etc.
"The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to 'accelerate the construction of the new Land and Sea Corridor in the Western region'. We will make great efforts to promote the construction of the new Land and Sea Corridor in the Western region by deeply integrating into the Belt and Road cooperation, exploring institutional and rule innovation, optimizing the logistics operation and organization model, and continuously expanding the space for international cooperation." Chongqing government port and logistics office director Ba Chuanjiang said. Editor/Xu Shengpeng

"In Wasseypur, committing murder is like having lunch" – Manoj Bajpayee
Shivi - Reflections
Manoj Bajpayee is known in Bollywood as someone who has played quite a few offbeat and unconventional roles, right from Satya to Rajneeti. It's a name people reckon as an 'actor', something that not many other celebrities can boast of. Always the choice of directors who believe in doing something different and closer to reality, his Gangs Of Wasseypur strengthens this fact. The man from Jharkhand who is now playing a gangster in the Anurag Kashyap affair, Manoj is happy to talk about the film and his love for his director.
Manoj Bajpayee In Gangs Of Wasseypur Movie Poster
The film is set in the town of Wasseypur. So does the very setting make this film so unique?
Gangs have always been a part of quite a few movies that have been based UP, Bihar, Mumbai or down South. However what I found intriguing about the whole film is that Wasseypur is unique in its own way. All the characters are based on real life human beings who were born and brought up in this town. There is an amazing magical realism about these people which has driven me mad and excited me at the same time.
How exactly?
Well, in this town murder is a way of life. It happens as if it's a part of everyone's normal life. When a murder is committed, the world doesn't topple over; it is treated as if someone is having lunch or you are doing some daily mundane activity. It was difficult to come to terms with the fact that people don't make fuss about it. Then there are other things due to above setting which make the characterisation here far more interesting. To find this characters' moral streak in the above environment was a big challenge for me.
Please elaborate.
Well, as a protagonist, he has all the shades of a complete character. He loves women, sex, money and has the volatility to murder someone at any given point in time. To make people fall in love with this character seemed like an uphill task and a constant battle, something that I and Anurag fought for. We both wanted it but then it was very challenging to find a focal point to it.
Meanwhile the film also has a very interesting supporting cast in the form of Tigmanshu Dhulia and others. That must have made the film special?
Tigmanshu is fantastic. He is from National School of Drama. He is a trained method actor. He has a history of theatre acting and performances to speak of. It's a delight to work with such actors as you get to see different techniques of acting. This definitely adds to your experience.
So what do we really see here? A political/gangster/cop drama?
This is a story of one family which kept on fighting against many power centres in their respective times. The story is linear and follows different generations of this family and how each time they fought against the powers. The story begins in 1960 when the world was changing rapidly. I play a part in second generation of this family while my kids carry forward the story as the third generation.
I am sure Anurag Kashyap must have pitched the movie in his own remarkable style.
In today's time everybody understands that the chemistry between an actor and a director is important. You are cast because the director has trust in you and you would be able to get his vision on screen. An actor has to keep this in mind and completely surrender to a director. These factors are really important. You work as a team and explore different possibilities everyday, which make the end product better. My working relationship with Anurag has been so comfortable that I was pretty sure we would crack the plot. I am glad that instinct has come true.

Susan decided to choose Moroccan food for her SASSY dinner. I was supposed to be her sous chef but her main course was a Moroccan lamb casserole which she wanted to slow-bake for several hours. So she prepared it well ahead of time.
By the time I arrived for sous chef duties all that was left was to prepare the stuffing for the peppers and zucchini appetizers.
And yes, the place mat is Egyptian not Moroccan but hey, they are both in Africa.
The stuffing was made with minced lamb. Susan had already cut up the onions, spring onions and the rest of the ingredients so my onerous duties consisted of stirring everything together till the lamb was cooked, stirring more after she added the spices, and then filling the peppers and zucchinis ready for baking.
This was all good because it meant I could indulge in a glass of wine or two with no fear that I could do anything to mess up the meal.
So while the appetizers and the casserole were in the oven, we gathered around a table on the patio and enjoyed pate and more wine.
Since everyone had brought a bottle to add to Susan's already varied choices. We enjoyed a Gewürtztraminer and a Sauvignon Blanc.
With the casserole , which was really peppery, we enjoyed red wines. The lamb was as tender as butter and everyone loved it.
Dessert was fruit, simple and refreshing. A bowl of lychees was passed around - sweet, subtle flavour. We used to eat lots of them in South Africa, but I don't think they are commonly grown in North Africa.
I think I am probably up next for another SASSY supper. I promised a South African menu. Lots of options but it is supposed to be simple so I may just barbecue (or braai) boerewors since its summertime.

A new, more expansive version of the nuclear deal, signed last week between Iran and world powers, has led to a flurry of trade and travel between the two countries.
The Iran-US deal includes sanctions relief for Tehran and sanctions relief against the US.
The agreement allows Iran to access US financial services, which have been restricted by US sanctions.
Iran has already opened more than 30 new trade and investment deals with the US in the past year.
Here are some of the most popular deals Iran has made with the world: US-Iran bilateral trade in goods reached $1.3 trillion in 2015, with US trade with Iran now accounting for more than half of all US trade.
US- Iran bilateral trade reached $9.8 billion in 2015.
US trade reached more than $4 billion with Iran in 2015 and US trade to Iran was $1 billion in 2016.
Iran also opened a new trade deal with the European Union in October.
Iran's state-owned oil company Aramco has been granted the right to export oil through a pipeline from the western city of Qom to a port in Tehran.
US oil company Chevron and its European partner Shell are also exploring the possibility of building a gas pipeline from a Qom port to the US, which would be the first US gas export to Iran since the 1979 revolution.
Iran signed a memorandum of understanding to buy Iranian oil and gas through a joint venture between a joint company called Iran Oil and Gas and the US-based private equity firm Blackstone Group.
US firms Chevron and Shell have been working with the Iranian state-run oil company, the National Iranian Oil Company, to explore the possibility that it could develop an oil field off the coast of western Iran, which could supply energy to Europe and the Middle East.
Iran Oil also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Chinese energy firm China National Petroleum Corporation to build a gas field on the western coast of Iran.
US companies Chevron and Saudi Aramco are working to develop oil and natural gas from Iran's Shatt al-Arab, a huge reservoir of natural gas.
Iran is also working to export natural gas to Europe via the European Gas Pipeline project, which will link France and Germany, with an option to expand to Spain.
Iran Energy Minister Abbas Akhoundi said the country has received a lot of investment in the gas field, but the project has yet to be approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The deal also provides for the lifting of sanctions against Iran in exchange for Tehran accepting international safeguards against the spread of nuclear weapons.
A US congressional panel is now considering lifting the sanctions on Iran, but this process could take several months.
The International Atomic Trade Association, a non-governmental organisation that monitors and promotes international trade in nuclear energy, said Iran signed an agreement with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) last year.
Iran agreed to accept some safeguards measures, including the removal of sanctions on Iranian companies.
The OECD's secretary general said that the pact was a significant achievement and highlighted the "significant progress made in the fight against terrorism and extremism in the Middle Eastern region."
US- and international-level sanctions have been lifted on Iran since December of last year, but they remain in place for some sectors.
Iran began to import oil in January, but it will be several months before Iranian oil is fully exported to the world.
Iranian oil exports have been declining since they began increasing in 2013.
The international community has warned Iran to not import more oil from the United States, the European countries, Russia and China, as they have threatened sanctions.
However, US officials have said they do not plan to lift the sanctions until Iran fully complies with the deal.
