Psychedelics and Psychosis
Image retrieved from www.vaughanmedicalclinic.com on March 24th, 2014.
The startling resemblance between schizophrenic and psychedelic experience has been elaborated in a number of scholarly papers that find the effects of psychedelic drugs and symptoms of schizophrenia to be almost the same (Stockings 1940; Osmond and Smythies 1952; Savage and Cholden 1956; Bowers and Freedman 1966; Jones 1973; young 1974). Both conditions involve heightened sensory responses, symbolic projection, changes in time sense and feelings of regression in time, preoccupation with usually disregarded details, impairment of judgment and reasoning, and unusually strong ambivalent emotions: on one hand, anxiety, dread, suspicion, guilt, fear of disintegration, and on the other hand, awe, bliss, a sense of certainty, feelings of extraordinary creative awareness or spiritual breakthrough, dissolution of the self in a greater unity. The extreme variability of schizophrenic symptoms also corresponds to the variety of psychedelic experiences. A condition similar in some ways to schizophrenia is acute delirium or toxic psychosis, which can be produced by high fever, extreme thirst and hunger, or any of hundreds of chemicals. But the differences between delirium or toxic psychosis and schizophrenia—symptoms like clouded senses, disorientation, gross physical disturbances, and often subsequent amnesia—make the resemblances between schizophrenia and psychedelic drug effects all the more remarkable. It is not surprising that psychedelic drugs were long regarded as a potential tool of special value in the study of endogenous psychoses.
But the drug effects differ from schizophrenia in significant ways too. Visual hallucinations or rather pseudohallucinations are dominant rather than auditory ones (imaginary voices). There are more perceptual changes, including the characteristic dreamlike imagery. The drug taker's mood is more likely to be pleasant or euphoric, he is rarely apathetic and emotionally numb, he suffers less disorganization of thought, and he is much more subject to influence and suggestion (kleinman et al. 1977). Besides, psychedelic drugs can mimic the symptoms of many other disorders besides schizophrenia—manic depressive psychoses, hysterical conversion syndromes, and so on. In one experiment listener who compared tape recordings of schizophrenics and LSD subjects (about 50 to 100 micrograms) had no trouble distinguishing between them (Hollister 1962). But the drug takers' greater education and intellectual capacity may have given them away, and the dose may not have been high enough. A comparison between twenty hospitalized chronic schizophrenics and thirty LSD subjects (100 micrograms) showed that LSD effects did not resemble undifferentiated schizophrenia; one-forth of the LSD subjects, said to have paranoid tendencies to begin with, suffered reactions that in some ways resembled paranoid schizophrenia. Two acute schizophrenics had much more intense and bizarre symptoms than the LSD subjects (Langs and Barr 1968). When LSD or mescaline is administered to schizophrenics, their responses vary as greatly as those of normal people. Apparently they can distinguish psychedelic drug effects from their own hallucinations and illusions (Feinberg 1962). Some studies suggest that psychedelic drugs intensify the symptoms of acute schizophrenia but produce little response in chronic schizophrenics. But other experiments show striking temporary changes in chronic schizophrenics: a hebephrenic who speaks seriously to the psychiatrist about his "pathetic" state, a mute catatonic who sobs, laughs, talks, and dances for the first time in years (Cholden et al. 1955).

SUPER CITY WIN AT BURNLEY TO RETURN TO PREMIER LEAGUE Summit
Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League table after a short break with a 2-0 win at Burnley.
Liverpool's 2-0 win at Watford in the early kick off of the day had kept the Merseysiders two points clear of City for several hours, but our result at Turf Moor has us one point ahead of next week's clash between the two. side at the Etihad.
City took the lead after five minutes when Kevin De Bruyne volleyed in from inside the box after Raheem Sterling's soft pass.
It was a brilliant finish and a beautifully constructed move – a signal of City's intent on what feels like a significant day in the race for the Premier League title.
Our second goal was equally impressive and Sterling was again the architect. The England forward played a one-two with De Bruyne, sprinting past Charlie Taylor and providing the perfect cross to find Ilkay Gundogan, who finished the first game full of confidence.
Gundogan is now the most prolific German player in Premier League history, with 34 goals in the competition.
City played with swagger, enjoying possession for long periods of time. It was a good pass, one and two touches. Burnley are struggling to cope.
The second half saw a similar pattern of play, with City in control of the cruise and, at times, almost toying with their opponents.
Substitute Gabriel Jesus hit the post and then rebounded wide as City searched for a third, before the Brazilian missed moments later with a powerful low shot.
City's dominance could perhaps be summed up by Ederson's confident pick-up and sidewinder cross in the closing stages.
SUPER CITY
It was a superb display from City, who completely controlled the game at Turf Moor.
The home team set up with a 4-5-1 formation in an attempt to frustrate us. But such was the pace and quality of our passing, we really outscored Burnley in one of the most one-sided displays we have produced all season, especially in the first 45 minutes.
And it wasn't just our ability to keep the ball that was impressive – the quality of our goals was outstanding as well.
When City are ruthless like this in the final third, there's not much the opposition can do to stop us.
CITY HANDLES PRESSURE
Liverpool's win in the early kick off saw them leapfrog us, meaning a failure to win this game means City end the day from top spot for the first time since December 3.
Make no mistake, it was a stressful situation, but City handled it expertly.
Our players looked cool and calm throughout the game, and the result was never in doubt.
MAN OF THE MATCH: RAHEEM STERLING
Two assists and a constant threat, Raheem Sterling has been outstanding in this regard.
Playing dominant on the right, he is a constant attacking threat.
Charlie Taylor would love to see his back.
Aymeric Laporte has set a new Premier League record!
This is a City defender's 100th Premier League appearance and our win takes his total points tally to 254 – more than any other player in their first 100 games in the competition.
Good job, Aymeric!
It was also an important day for Kevin De Bruyne, as he made his 200th Premier League appearance.
And Ilkay Gundogan scored his 34th Premier League goal, meaning he is now the highest-scoring German player in the competition's history.
PEP REACTION
"We came here to win games and we did. You never know what will happen after the international break. The pitch was difficult because the grass was very high but we adapted.
"The goal after five minutes was important but we still have to play 85 more games. In the second half they pressed more, they played 4-4-2 and they were more aggressive. It was made more complicated by the fact that we couldn't score the third goal. .
"Being in a position to fight for the title is great – you want to arrive in April and May fight for them. This is why we fought for the last 10, 11 months. It's been a busy week – first we will think about Atletico Madrid and then after that we will think about Liverpool.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN
The win means City return to the top of the Premier League table after a brief spell in second.
Liverpool's win at home to Watford in kick-off earlier today – their 10th successive league success – has seen Jurgen Klopp's side
move ahead of us in what is proving to be a thrilling title race.
It was an unusual feeling for City to come from behind after leading the Premier League table since early December, but the job is done.

It's beginning to look a lot like the RECALL NEWSOM campaign will be successful
ByDonna Westfall
By Donna Westfall – December 30, 2020
As a way to start the new year, residents of Del Norte County are going to be putting up lawn signs that read Recall Gavin Newsom.
After so many recall attempts against Newsom, who is behind this one? It's by retired Yolo County Deputy Sheriff Orrin Heatlie and 124 others. Recalls have to be approved for circulation by the Secretary of State (SOS) and 47 year old Alejandro "Alex" Padilla has been the California SOS since 2015 and approved the paperwork on June 10, 2020. Note: Gov. Newsom has appointed Padilla to the Senate to replace Kamala Harris. (See article: Don't Seat Newsom's appointee: Alex Padilla published today's date.)
Recalls have 160 days and have to be circulated in five counties to obtain the necessary signatures in order to go to the next step. For this recall to be successful, nearly 1.5 million valid signatures of registered voters are needed. Because of the Covid 19 pandemic, Superior Court Judge James P. Arguelles extended the signature deadline for the recall from November 17, 2020, to March 17, 2021.
Until this year, Newsom was the highest paid governor in the country at over $200,000 a year with an $8,000 increase that went into effect this December while New York's Governor Cuomo knocked him out of 1st position at $225,000.
Granted California has been dominated and controlled by the Democratic Party for decades. However, Trump garnered almost 6 million votes in 2020 and 4.5 million in 2016. That's more than any Republican candidate has ever received. When Newsom got the news of the recall in June 2020, his issued statement was that the unwarranted recall will cost taxpayers $81 million and it's being pushed by political extremists supporting President Trump's hateful attacks on California. Wonder why Newsom's not worried about taxpayer's monies concerning almost everything else.
In actuality, while Republican groups are getting their act together, there are disillusioned Democrats, Independents and Libertarians jumping on the bandwagon due in part to Newsom's hypocrisy over his Covid 19 lockdown orders, crumbling infrastructure, failing public school system, overregulation everywhere, devastating wildfires caused by negligence in part caused by crazy environmentalists who didn't want to clear trees that created all the fuel for the fires, and homelessness throughout the state but in particular in Los Angeles and San Francisco that makes them look like third world countries. The list doesn't stop there it goes on. Making California a sanctuary state, closing churches, releasing prisoners from prison, stopping the death penalty, increasing vehicle registration fees, mandatory vaccinations taking away parental input. When the Arnold was governor, he lowered DMV fees before he left office. Democrats pushed fees back up and instead of seeing fee's decrease as a vehicle gets older, the fees are right up there, even higher.
Company after company is fleeing California with most of them moving their businesses to Texas where housing costs are about 50% of California's and no state income taxes.
According to Edward Ring's November 19th article published in California Globe, "Recall Campaign Gets Powerful New Ally," that new ally is in the form of Tom Del Beccaro. The reason this is so significant is because he is the former California GOP Chairman. He heads up a committee called Rescue California. It's a Political Action Committee (PAC). Beccaro's group "brings a powerful group of experienced politicians, political professionals, and donors to the front lines of the Recall Gavin movement, bringing help to what is already one of the most impressive grassroots efforts in California history."
Having tried numerous recall's unsuccessfully in Crescent City/Del Norte County, I can personally vouch for the recall effort as a difficult process. If you need 1,000 valid signatures, you have to collect at least 20% more because signatures will be thrown out for a variety of reasons. It's not just getting signatures, it's getting VALID signatures of REGISTERED voters. If the signer puts down their Post Office Box, it's invalid. It has to be a street address in the same county where they are registered. Signers can't abbreviate their city on the Newsom recall. Print Crescent City, not CC. Only one signature will be counted so don't even think about signing twice. It's also having enough volunteers and paid signature gatherers to get the job done by the deadline. No Dominion voting machines will be used in validating the signatures so FRAUD is not a option. On-line signatures are not valid. It has to be an original on the State approved form in blue or black ink.
In the past in Crescent City, tables have been set up in front of City Hall, the Post Office, Safeway, and Wal Mart to get signatures. Everyone still shops, pays utility bills at the City and sends letters and packages at the Post Office. During this inclement weather, it's harder to set-up tables. There's no sense in having forms rained on and ruined. The Republican Headquarters located on the corner of 3rd and I Streets in Crescent City is conveniently located so anyone can just walk in and sign when they're open. Call first at 707 464 6966.
Now that over half of the required signatures have been collected and verified by in house volunteers, the next step is to get them to the Counties for verification. The trigger for this step is getting 10% of the required number. Nearly 900,000 petitions have been received, well past the 10% trigger plus the campaign is gaining steam with bags and bags of petitions being delivered daily via the post office to:
California Patriot Coalition
Sacramento, Ca. 95841
Finally, even though the deadline was pushed to March 17th, it's best to think in terms of getting everything in and done by March 10th. If you want to sign a petition, you can contact the local Del Norte Republican Headquarters at 707 464 6966.

Leslie Barnes says:
Here's what I have to say about Newsom … he has literally wiped out the Beautiful State of California; he and his Aunt Nancy Pelosi have taxed the people beyond belief … Crime is running rampant in Sacramento. The freeway underpasses are filled with HOMELESS he has literally shut down all business … while he parties hardy! Good luck California!
Steve Furst says:
Hey Donna! Sounds like Texas is the place YOU should go. You and YOUR conspiracy theories are likely more welcome there with the other Trump magachuds.
Jaime Yarbrough says:
Just curious, WHAT CONSPIRACY THEORIES can you discount? What do you think Newsom has done that warrants his staying in office? I'm up for a good laugh to make up for such a crappy 2020. I find it absolutely amazing how the lists of accomplishments in favor of the people of the US and CA by our current and future President pale in comparison to the non-existent accomplishments of any and/or all Democrat mayors and governors. The only lists they seem to accumulate are things that tear our cities and counties down. If you don't like this state – please don't move to Texas Mr Furst. I suggest Venezuela, Nigeria, or perhaps North Korea. Again, please make your case.
Wesley Nunn says:
Ah, a Newsom fan. That says it all.
Mary Driscoll says:
Why would you defend Newsom?
Samuel Strait says:
Pretty well covers what many are thinking about King Newsom. What I haven't figured out is why he hasn't been challenged in court on more instances where he is clearly unconstitutional?
LINDA s SUTTER says:
Newsom has been challenged in court for the 57 executive orders he has signed since March 2020. Assembly person Kevin Kiley has been extremely successful in conquering Newsome's Stalin movements. However just like everything else….it is too slow to get things moving.

Professor Dr. Ivo Leito
Researcher. During his research career and during the last ten years he has been engaged in a wide variety of topics ranging from acidity-basicity and catalysis issues to mass spectrometry and from chemical metrology to cultural heritage. However, at the core of the research have always been accurate and reliable measurements, or to put it more specifically:
Accurate quantification of phenomena that are
not straightforward to accurately quantify.
In a number of the cases, the quantification has made use of scales and this has proved very fruitful. Examples:
Acidity and basicity of molecules (pKa values) in non-aqueous solutions and in the gas phase.
Acidity and basicity of bulk solutions.
Ionization efficiency of molecules in electrospray ion source.
Anion-receptor binding.
As a result of the data obtained and the trends revealed, our group is now able to predict and interpret the acidity and/or basicity of molecules in a wide selection of solvents (additionally involving computations, as needed), as well as the ionization efficiencies in electrospray source and anion-receptor binding.
The group routinely receives requests for measurement or prediction of different parameters. Studies of strong acids and strong bases have occupied a very important position in the research. In fact, it is the studies of acids and bases that have benefitted most from the scales approach and wide-ranging acidity and basicity scales (reaching high acidities and basicities) have been set up by the group. Thus, our group has ample experience in synthesis, characterization, and handling of (strong and very strong) acids. Furthermore, during the last five years, we have been increasingly engaged in studies of catalysts (both acid and base catalysis), mainly from the point of view of relations with acidity-basicity.
Group leader, supervisor. Ivo is constantly ranked among the most successful Ph.D. supervisors at our faculty and every year more Ph.D. and MSc candidates want to start working under his supervision than he can accept. As a result, the group is young and dynamic. He tries to give graduate students and postdocs a lot of freedom in exploring avenues that they find interesting and several of important achievements have resulted from this.
Educator. Ivo is active in enhancing teaching at the University of Tartu and beyond by using the high-level measurement competence described above. The highlights of this are two international master-level study programmes that have been launched under his leadership and where he is now programme director – Applied Measurement Science and Erasmus Mundus programme Excellence in Analytical Chemistry. The most recent development in measurement-related education has been setting up two online courses – Estimation of Measurement Uncertainty in Chemical Analysis and LC-MS Method Validation, where up to now altogether more than 2000 people from all over the world have participated.
Manager. Under Ivo's leadership the University of Tartu Testing Centre – a measurement-oriented R&D unit at UT – was re-established in the beginning of the 21st century. This opened for our group wide horizons in industrial collaboration, collaboration with European metrology organization (EURAMET) and participation in different international projects.

TX Legislature
How Texas Can Actually Help Special Education Students
Chip in $10
Hint: It's not private school vouchers.
Last week, the Texas Senate approved Senate Bill 2, an widely unpopular measure Governor Greg Abbott put on the special legislative session agenda which creates a private school voucher program for special education students. The voucher scheme passed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Senate Republicans would create incentives for disabled students to go to private schools instead of public schools and divert much-needed funding from public schools into private schools.
To be clear: vouchers are bad for all public school students, but they're a particularly bad idea for disabled students who are protected under the Federal Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Private schools do not guarantee the same rights and protections as public schools. There is also little evidence to support the idea that private schools provide a better education or accommodations to disabled students than public schools.
So instead of wasting $75 million each fiscal year on vouchers, here are some real ways we can help disabled students:
1. Create educational programs for teachers, students, parents to learn about student's rights under IDEA
IDEA isn't perfect, but it has dramatically improved the quality of life for thousands of disabled students. The problem with IDEA isn't its limited protections but instead its inaccessibility — it's hard to demand rights you don't even know you had. Currently, the burden is on the parents to educate themselves and challenge schools when they do not provide the required accommodations.
As the Houston Chronicle broke last year, state officials left tens of thousands of disabled students out of these special education services and accommodations. We should invest money in educating teachers, students, parents, and administrators about student's rights under IDEA and the process to demand the services they are owed.
2. Invest money where the students already are: public schools
We should increase funding and services provided through the public schools, which are already severely unfunded in Texas. By investing in disabled students, accessibility, and special education programs — like building wheelchair ramps and training teachers in special education — we can help our public schools be more accessible to future generations of disabled Texans.
As Steven Kling pointed out in his recent article for the Texas Tribune, "there only are 51 private special education schools in the state, exactly zero of which exist outside of major cities."
Legislation like House Joint Resolution 27 by State Rep. Donna Howard (D- Austin) could solve the funding problem in our public schools. The resolution would've require the state to pay at least 50% of the cost of operating public schools, providing much needed school finance reform.
3. Test earlier and subsidize any testing
The number of students that qualify for special education has decreased from 10.8% in 2006 to 8.9% in 2017, but experts agree this isn't because there are now less special education kids in Texas but instead a lack of testing. By the time current Texas public schools can detect and diagnosis students with disabilities, such as dyslexia, kids may already be behind.
By prioritizing early diagnosis and testing and investing in testing subsidies, we can get all special needs kids the accommodations they need to succeed. Currently, some accommodations require proof of disability as determined by expensive tests that many Texas families can't afford.
No one solution will solve Texas' problem with special needs education, but as a disabled Texas student, I can speak from personal experience that vouchers are not the answer.

This 1987 Toyota Camry shows 39k miles and was acquired by the selling dealer from the original owner. Finished in white with black trim and a grey fabric interior, this base-spec Camry features air conditioning and retains a Toyota radio. Power is from a 2.0-liter inline-four driving the front wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine has been serviced with a new timing belt and water pump in recent years according to the selling dealer. This V20 Camry is offered with a clean Carfax, an owner's manual, and a Colorado title.
This Camry is finished in white with black bumpers and trim. Panel VIN stickers are shown in the gallery, and a dent can be seen on the driver's front fender.
The 14″ steel wheels wear stock covers and are mounted with 185/70 all-season tires at each corner. A rear window defroster is equipped.
The interior features fabric seats, automatic seatbelts, air conditioning, a Toyota cassette radio, and manual windows. The 6-digit odometer shows just under 39,100 miles, all but a handful of which were reportedly added by the original owner.
The transverse-mounted 2.0L inline-four is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. The seller indicates that the timing belt and water pump were replaced in recent years, though further details are unavailable. Several services are reported on the Carfax.
Portions of the exhaust system appear to have been replaced, and additional underside images are provided in the gallery below.
A Carfax is attached and shows one registered owner in Colorado from new with no accidents or other issues.

Een Uniform Resource Locator (afgekort URL) is een gestructureerde naam die verwijst naar gegevens. Voorbeelden zijn het unieke adres waarmee de locatie van een webpagina op internet wordt aangegeven of een e-mailadres. In de naam is alle informatie opgenomen over de benodigde techniek om de betreffende gegevens te bereiken. De URL is een bijzondere vorm van de URI.

Opbouw
URL's zijn opgebouwd uit de volgende onderdelen:
 Een protocol.
 Authenticatiegegevens, zoals een gebruikersnaam en wachtwoord.
 Een domeinnaam.
 Een poortnummer.
 Een padnaam.
 Een zogenaamde querystring.
 Een zogenaamde fragmentidentifier.

De opbouw van een URL is voor de meeste protocollen als volgt:

Protocol
Het protocol wordt genoteerd in de vorm van een korte protocolaanduiding (vaak een afkorting) gevolgd door een dubbele punt.
URL's kunnen hierdoor voor verschillende protocollen (en dus verschillende doeleinden) gebruikt worden:

Autoriteit
De autoriteit is de bron van de informatiebron, bijvoorbeeld een host van een website.
Deze wordt genoteerd in de vorm //gebruikersnaam:wachtwoord@domein:poort

In de meeste gevallen zijn gebruikersnaam, wachtwoord en poortnummer niet nodig, waardoor het @-teken
en de dubbele punten meestal niet in de URL terug te vinden zijn, zoals in bijvoorbeeld //nl.wikipedia.org
of //proxy.example.com:8080.

Padnaam
De precieze betekenis van de padnaam hangt af van het protocol; voor FTP
verwijst het meestal naar een fysiek bestand, terwijl het bij IRC naar een kanaal verwijst. Bij HTTP kan het om een bestand gaan, maar bijvoorbeeld ook om een commando aan een zoekmachine of een database manager.
Meestal worden ze in de vorm /mapnaam/mapnaam/.../mapnaam/bestandsnaam gebruikt.

Querystring
Een querystring wordt meestal gebruikt om bepaalde parameters mee te geven aan de URL, zoals de zoektermen van een zoekactie. De querystring volgt na het vraagteken, verschillende parameters in de string worden gescheiden met het ampersandteken.

Fragmentidentifier
De fragmentidentifier wordt gebruikt om naar een specifiek onderdeel van de informatiebron te verwijzen en wordt genoteerd in de vorm #fragment.
In HTML-pagina's worden ze bijvoorbeeld gebruikt om naar tekstankers te verwijzen.

Eisen aan URL's
 Er mag slechts een beperkte verzameling tekens gebruikt worden om URL's te schrijven. Zo mogen er onder meer geen speciale tekens (die de onderdelen van elkaar onderscheiden) of witruimtes gebruikt worden.

Man Dies At Pumpkinman Triathlon
Posted by: RaceGrader on October, 25 2013
By ANNALISE PORTER
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
Patrick Hayden was dedicated to his family. Very much so.
They participated in a triathlon together on Saturday. Hayden was to complete the swimming leg of the Pumpkinman triathlon and his sons were to perform the biking and running portions.
In a good-natured boys vs. girls competition, his wife and daughter-in-law participated in the triathlon as well, Hayden's sister Dawn Hayden said.
But he never made it to the finish line.
Hayden was found unconscious in the water just before 9 a.m. by one of the event organizer's kayak patrollers, who then alerted park rangers of an unresponsive swimmer.
He was pulled out of the water and CPR was performed. A ambulance came and transported him to Boulder City Hospital, where medical personnel pronounced his death at 9:30 a.m., Lake Mead National Recreation Area spokeswoman Christie Vanover said.
Hayden would have been 60 years old in January, Dawn said. He was an active swimmer and frequented the Y to stay in shape.
Vanover said the park rangers weren't sure what caused him to lose consciousness in the water.
"He wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else," said Dawn, who wasn't at Lake Mead when her brother was found unresponsive, but was on her way to meet the family at the finish line.
One of Hayden's sons was not present — he is stationed in Hawaii with the Navy. Besides that, it was perfect even though it was sad, because he was with his family when it happened, Dawn said.
Hayden had a second family, too. It was at Arbor View High School, where he worked as the school's principal for six years.
He was the principal when the school opened in 2005, and remained there until his retirement in 2011. The same year, the Southern Nevada High School Football Coaches Association inducted Hayden into its 2011 Hall of Fame as an administrator.
Hayden's positive influence was felt even beyond those two families, by athletes and students he coached earlier in his career, according to one school official who called himself a longtime friend. Hayden coached numerous sports, including tennis and baseball.
The triathlon was the first big event at Lake Mead since a two-week shutdown ordered by the federal government. The park had just reopened Thursday.
The Clark County coroner's office will officially release the man's identity and cause of death. An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday.

We are available 24/7 to help you find the answers about getting your friend or family member released.

Do you provide payment plans?
We do everything in our power here at Jail Birds Bail Bond to get your loved one out of a Dallas County jail as quickly as possible. One way we do this is by providing payment plans. Usually, we get a percentage of the fee with the balance set up on a payment plan that is affordable for you during the difficult time immediately after an arrest.
How do I get a warrant for my arrest lifted?
First, you need to give us a call so we can verify that a warrant is active (we'll need your name and date of birth to do this). We'll verify that the warrant is active and determine if an amount of required bail has been set by the judge. Arranging for you to surrender yourself and immediately submitting a bail bond for your release (this is called a walk-through bond) is a good option, as you will get out jail much faster than if you were arrested at home or at work.
How long does it take to be bailed out?
It only takes 10 minutes to fill out our required paperwork. The length of time it takes to get out jail depends on the jail itself – it can range anywhere from minutes to a couple of hours. This varies depending on whether the holding facility is busy or not. We work as fast as we possible can to speed up the process as much as we can!
What is collateral?
In some cases, collateral must be put up in order for a bail bond to be obtained for the release of a defendant. An example of collateral is money, property, etc. that you deposit with the bail bond company. For example, if bail is set at $10,000, 10% of the total would be the premium – this must be paid upfront in cash (this is a fee for the agent and is non-returnable). The remaining $9,000 would need to be presented to the bail agent in the form of collateral. This ensures that if the defendant skipped bail the Dallas County bail bondsman would be guaranteed his money.
What is bail?
In order for a defendant to be released before their trial begins, bail must be paid. This is some form of property or money that is pledged or paid to the court, with the understanding that the defendant will return for any and all court appearances. If they fail to appear, bail will be forfeit (which is illegal, and will result in additional charges). Missing court is also referred to as skipping bail, bond jumping, and bond forfeiture.
What is an indemnitor or cosigner?
A Cosigner or Indmenitor on a bail bond is the person who agrees to be financially responsible for the full amount the bail bond, should the defendant skip bail (and should they not return to court). The Indemnitor is responsible for all the costs incurred because of the missed court date. If there are more than one Indemntior, they are jointly liable for the costs and responsibility. If a defendant skips bail and cannot be returned to court, the Indemnitor(s) is financially responsible for the entire bail bond amount. No additional costs or responsibilities are incurred if the defendant makes their court appearances, however. The Indemnitor only has to pay the initial fee or premium if the defendant makes all their court appearances.
What is a bail bondsman?
A bail bondsman is a company or person who acts as surety and pledges money as bail and takes responsibility for the court appearances of the defendant for whom the bail is issued.

Q: Como relacionar tabla dependiendo del valor de un select en mysql? Estoy teniendo un dilema. Tengo mi tabla compras la cual en uno de los campos debe tener una forma de pago y dependiendo la forma de pago, se ingresan los datos respectivos.
En este caso las formas de pago es: contado y credito.
Soy nuevo en ello y había pensado en crear 2 tablas aparte para contado y credito y relacionar a la tabla compras, pero como son dos tablas y solo se ingresará un ID de forma de pago en compras.
Si hago una consulta para traer todas las compras, como sabría a que forma de pago pertenece si solo un ID se puede relacionar a una tabla, como podria solucionar ello?
Adjunto imágenes para que me logren entender mejor.
Gracias.

A: utiliza 'una' sola tabla llamada "forma_pago", la cual va a tener 2 registros.

*

*ID 1 Contado

*ID 2 Crédito

Debes relacionar la tabla "compras" con la nueva tabla "forma_pago" De manera que cuando que cree un registro en la tabla "compras" quede mas o menos así.

Sven Splinquist, a Creation Scientist and entrepreneur in Stockholm, contacted Swedish authorities today, saying that his meticulously detailed life-size reproduction of Noah's Arc was vandalized over night. An estimated 50 tons of thinly sliced deli turkey had been mysteriously layered atop the 450 foot wooden vessel, completely burying its superstructure.
Authorities have no suspects in the case but Splinquist believes it has something to do with his theory that not all animals were taken aboard by Noah, particularly birds. Instead just 2 each of all "kinds" of animals were saved. Every species of dog would not need representation, but just a few, as the other varieties would have developed in the ensuing 4300 years. But this view has some people upset, including many of Sweden's 1500 turkey farmers, who have waged a market war with neighboring Norway's booming chicken industry for years.
Splinquist is not too terribly upset about the cold-cut prank. In fact he has a big grin on his face.

I always wonder why God allowed Noah to bring roaches, bed bugs and chiggers. I guess he brought more than just a pair of fleas, though.
Hovind is Nutz–and I mean NUTZ.
I once watched an extended series of his "Creation 101" videos. I don't even think Ken Ham or the Henry Morris Crowd at ICR would adopt some of his way-out theories.
In fact, his theories border on double Nutz when he starts talking about the Rockefeller Conspiracies and Fluoride (and I know good, smart, charitable people who believe this stuff).
Anyway, Dr. Dino is Nutz, and I mean Nutz.
Hey, did you know that that Hovind guy is in a penitentiary in Georgia for a bunch of tax and financial crimes?
Yeah, but he was railroaded. Tuned out the judge, he jury and the prosecuting attorney ALL believed in evolution. It's part of the gay agenda for an Islamo-commie conspiracy, I tell ya. A conspiracy.
Islamo-Commies who force inmates to use Fluoride!


Saw some really nice houses/townhomes yesterday. Erin and I are meeting with a lender today to see if we're good enough souls to deserve $500,000 in credit. I'm getting together paper copies of our entire financial lives right now.
We had a poker game at our place last night. Eight people in all were here to play some hold'em. GMC and myself were up $100 each at the end of the night. I think Erin was up $15 after everything was said and done.
It is HOT in Sunnyvale right now.

Orange County honors Monroe-Woodbury High boys and girls state soccer championship teams
Published Dec 16, 2018 at 3:30 pm (Updated Dec 16, 2018)
Photo provided by Orange County Members of the Monroe-Woodbury boys and girls soccer teams pose for a picture at the Government Center on Thursday, December 6th after being recognized by the Legislature and Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus. Included in the picture are Monroe-Woodbury boys soccer assistant coach Marc Gawron, boys coach Kenny Clearwater and assistant girls coach Kate Santoianni.
GOSHEN — The Monroe-Woodbury Class AA boys and girls soccer state championship teams were celebrated by the Orange County Legislature at the Thursday, Dec. 6, meeting at the Government Center.
The girls varsity defeated Albany-area's Bethlehem 1-0 for the state title on Sunday, November 11th in Dryden, which is located near Cortland.
Just three hours later, the Monroe-Woodbury boys varsity team put away Buffalo's Clarence 2-0 at Faller Field in Middletown to complete the Crusaders' historic sweep.
Both teams received certificates of recognition from the Legislature and Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus.
"These championships are a tribute to both teams' dedication, perseverance and hard work," Chairman of the Legislature Steve Brescia said. "Winning a state championship is no easy task and it shows the character of each player and coach in the Monroe-Woodbury soccer program.
"These Crusaders have made their families, school and Orange County proud," Brescia added, "and we enjoyed having the opportunity to recognize them."
Coached by Kenny Clearwater, the Monroe-Woodbury boys soccer team finished the season 21-0, outscoring opponents 68-5.
The Crusaders are the first Section 9 (Orange, Sullivan, Ulster and part of Dutchess County) boys soccer team to win a state title since Newburgh Free Academy in 2009.
The Monroe-Woodbury girls went 19-1-1, losing only to Dutchess County's Arlington 1-0 in the fourth game of the season.
The Crusaders came back to beat Arlington 1-0 in the opening-round of the Class AA state tournament.
Only two other local schools have won state girls' soccer championships, Washingtonville (Class AA, 2012) and S.S. Seward (Class D, 1987, 2007, Class C and Class D co-title in 2008).
"I followed my alma mater's teams closely during their exciting runs to soccer state championships and I'm proud of their accomplishments," said Neuhaus, a 1992 Monroe-Woodbury graduate. "They represented Orange County well on and off the field and their impressive runs will always be remembered at Monroe-Woodbury. I offer the Crusaders my sincerest congratulations and also want to thank the community for embracing and supporting these student-athletes."

Home Chris Kelly Entertainment News Kris Kross R.I.P
Chris Kelly of Rap Group Kris Kross Dies at 34, Latest Update
Chris Kelly of Kris Kross performs on stage in Atlanta
during the So So Def 20th Anniversary Concert. in February
Chris Kelly, one-half of the rap duo Kris Kross, passed away on Wednesday, according to Georgia authorities and various news outlets.
He was discovered unresponsive in his Atlanta home and pronounced dead at Atlanta Medical Center. The cause of death has not yet been determined, but his death is being investigated as a possible drug overdose.
Kelly and the other Kris Kross member Chris Smith were discovered in 1991 at the age of 13 by rapper and producer Jermaine Dupri. Kelly went by the nickname "Mac Daddy" and Smith went by "Daddy Mac." The two recently performed together again back in February at the 20th anniversary party for So So Def Recordings.
The rap duo were best known for their 1992 hit "Jump" and for wearing their clothes backwards.
An official cause of death is pending an autopsy. Kelly was only 34-years-old.


The night started off as many Vikings fans and media experts had predicted but the trade that got them to their first pick was a little bit of a surprise. The Vikings traded down to 9th place allowing the Cleveland Browns to move to their eighth spot.
Johnny Manziel was still available at that point in time. The Vikings filled a need by selecting linebacker Anthony Barr out of UCLA. From that point on, the draft became the Johnny Manziel watch. I could almost feel the tension of my fellow Minnesota Vikings fans. The Vikings next pick was set at 40. What if anything were the Vikings going to do to fill what was probably their greatest need; A franchise quarterback (QB)?
When the Cleveland Bowens moved up to the 22nd pick via a trade and then picked Johnny Manziel, Vikings fans probably started to panic. I have to admit, I was one of them.
At the time of Manziel's pick, there were still some top rated QB's of the 2014 class available. Teddy Bridgewater was probably the most coveted QB that was available. Johnny Manziel and Blake Bortels (selected 4th overall by the Jaguars) had already been selected.
As the first round was coming to a close and teams had continued to pass on QBs, the Minnesota Vikings made a trade with the Seattle Seahawks to trade up from 40th to 32nd (the last pick of the first round).
The words that came out of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's mouth were music to my ears and probably the vast majority of Minnesota Vikings fans ears. Teddy Bridgewater was the man of the hour. Minnesota got their quarterback and arguably one of the top three QBs in this year's draft.
Hopefully for Minnesota Vikings fans the team has their QB of the future.
I was starting to question how this draft was going after the Vikings made their selection at the ninth spot. That wasn't fair but the way the quarterback situation has gone for the past few years I was worried that the Vikings would not get the right guy.
Rick Spielman showed that he is definitely a wheeler and a dealer. Spileman has mastered the art of the draft. I believe that he had lots of input from offensive coordinator Norv Turner and head coach Mike Zimmer.
Norv is an offensive guru and has helped groom some to notch quarterbacks in his career. Norv must have believed that Teddy is the guy he can work with and groom into a top rated QB in the NFL.
Spielman got this pick right and while he had Vikings fans biting their nails, he had a plan. Was there some luck to it? I believe there's always an element of luck to the NFL draft. Things have to work out just as a GM plans and they also have to adapt to the craziness and the drama that unfolds from pick to pick.
I believe that most of what Rick Spielman did in the first round was calculated and he definitely filled two important needs for the team (A pass rusher and a quarterback).
In my opinion the first round was a resounding success for the Minnesota Vikings. I have to give Rick Spielman an A for the job that he's done so far in the 2014 NFL draft.
Minnesota Vikings fans; Are you excited for football season? You betcha you are.
Did Rick Spielman do a good job in the first round?

Berenice Abbott is a seminal figure of 20th century photography that is renowned not only for her images of 1930s New York City, but also for her diverse oeuvre shooting disparate genres. Having a remarkable clarity of vision, Abbott's consistently strong work is objective and realist. Her early contributions to the medium of photography and ideas regarding its role in the fine arts can be summed up in her words, "Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself."
Abbott had set her earlier sights on a photojournalistic career until she decided to leave her native Ohio and visit New York City. It was there that she was exposed to the Bohemian lifestyle and decided to become an artist. Abbott worked in sculpture for a short time, and spent time in Paris and Berlin trying to pursue her artistic career. But in 1925, she was hired by Man Ray to work in his photography studio and he tutored her in his style. Though she knew nothing of the technique of photography, she quickly developed a natural aptitude. In 1928 she exhibited her work in the Independent Salon of Photographers, alongside Andre Kertesz and Man Ray. Her early photographs were straightforward. In the 1930s, influenced by Eugene Atget's documentary, "The Lost Paris of the 19th Century," Abbott continued this straightforward style in her documentary, large format photographs of the evolving metropolis of New York with a series entitled "Changing Times – New York," all the while running her own portrait studio.
One of Abbott's greatest accomplishments was her committed and persistent will to preserve the oeuvre of photographer Eugene Atget. Abbott had been deeply inspired by Atget's work and befriended him towards the end of his life. When Abbott returned to New York City in the 1930's it was a time of great change in America. The "old New York" was being cleared away to make room for a city of skyscrapers. The identity of neighborhoods and small businesses were changing and the city was quickly being redefined. Just as Atget was in love with the late 19th century Paris – and his mission was to document those parts of the city that were being cleared away for early 20th century modernization; Abbott's mission was to preserve what was being 'lost' in New York City. The "Changing Times – New York" project was extraordinarily hard to realize because she was trying to procure funds to make the work during the great depression. After exhausting her own funds, and being turned down all the wealthy patrons that she solicited, it was only through the assistance of governmental agencies that she was able to complete this wonderful project. Abbott leaves behind a great legacy. Her pictures of New York in the 1930s are considered the most important photographic documentation of any American city.

The Impressions are an award-winning group from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Equality will arise if everyone can get on board, says Curtis Mayfield in this 1965 hit. The song reached number 3 on the R&B charts and number 14 on the Pop charts. It would go on to be covered by numerous artists, including Bob Dylan and Bob Marley. Of the song, Mayfield said the following: "That was taken from my church or from the upbringing of messages from the church. Like there's no hiding place and get on board, and images of that sort. I must have been in a very deep mood of that type of religious inspiration when I wrote that song."

Rains to play in East-West Game
Dennis Garcia
TRINITY — Since the high school basketball season ended, Wheatmore High School's Gavin Rains has been very busy, finishing his academic year, getting ready for graduation and working out every day in preparation for his freshman season at Queens College.
Now it's going to be even busier.
Rains, the two-time The Courier-Tribune Player of the Year, was chosen as a member of the West team for the very prestigious East-West basketball Game, which will be played Monday, July 15, at the Greensboro Coliseum. The girls' all-star game begins at 6:30 p.m., and the boys game will follow at approximately 8:30 p.m.
"I was very excited, very honored being able to represent my town and my city," Rains said about earning the honor. "It feels really good knowing all the hard work in the gym and in the weight room is paying off. I have to thank my parents and Coach (Tim) Kelly."
Kelly was Rains' head coach at WHS for his first three-plus years before resigning
at Christmas time this past season. David Spell took the team over and coached the rest of the season.
"It's a great honor for him and that is a tribute to his work ethic and what it takes to get to that level," Spell said. "It's a great honor for him and all his teammates. I'm sure Gavin will say he couldn't have gotten there without them. He works very hard and he makes everyone around him better. I have coached a long time and with Gavin Rains and Marshall Lange, you only get those about one every ten years."
Rains averaged 26.1 points and 17.1 rebounds per game this year for the Warriors, who finished 21-8 and advanced to the third round of the state 2-A tournament. He also blocked an average of 3.2 shots per game.
Since the season ended, Rains said he's been working out every day in the gym as well as going down to Queens College for some pickup games.
Rains said he loves the atmosphere at Queens, which is located in Charlotte.
"It's a winning envionment and a place I can grow as a player and person," Rains said.
Rains joins a number of Randolph County players who have participated in the East-West All-Star Game. Among that long list of talented players are Asheboro High School's Larry Bulla (1956) and Joe Spinks (1990), Eastern Randolph's Lorraine Owen (1975), Randleman's Jim Russell (1953) and Brandi Cook (1996) and Southwestern Randolph's Kaila Craven (2015).

New York style fixture Lynn Yaeger is one of the fashion world?s most recognizable personalities. A prominent fashion writer, she spent decades at the Village Voice and regularly contributes to Vogue, T The New York Times Magazine, and Travel + Leisure. She talks with L-atitude about what makes her tick: style, travel and her favorite city, Paris.
You have a very distinctive signature look. How did Lynn Yaeger become "Lynn Yaeger"? Describe your fashion philosophy.
It was a way of working out my obsession with clothing and style without actually having to pay attention to trends, because most of the time they didn't suit me. It's hard to say how these things happen. It's a very organic process.
I have a two-part style philosophy, and it may seem like the two parts contradict each other but they don't. The first part is that you should really feel free to invent yourself and wear whatever you want. And the second part is that you should spend a lot of time in front of the mirror to make sure this is the perfect rendering of what you think you want. I really like it when people make a huge effort.
It's ALL humor! I mean not all, but I really do try to take the long view of the things, see what's fun about it, and the absurdities. It's a question that cuts both ways. I think people like to read things that are funny.
I always hope to inspire young people who may be feeling like they are not accepted, or they are a little funny, or they are a little off the mainstream. My hope is that by being so out-there and so much of an individual myself, that will inspire them. Also, every time I see a tulle petticoat on the runway I'm like, ?They copied me!"
I love the Fifth Avenue department stores. I would be lying if I said I didn't. I love both Bergdorf and Barney?s. I like the Comme des Gar?ons store. I like the Garage flea market on the weekends on 25th street. I go there every weekend. I'm a really compulsive shopper. I'm in stores all the time. I'm a daily shopper, let's face it. I don't buy that much. I feel like I'm there just for the experience.
I'm not much of a eater. I would go shopping in the morning at the department stores, and if it was the weekend I would go to the flea market on 25th street. I think it's fun to just walk around downtown in the Village or Nolita. It's a great walking town. If you have never been to Century 21, you should go there.
What's your pick for the best fashion people-watching in New York?
What do you think about New York Fashion Week's move to Lincoln Center?
I hate change, but I'll just have to gear up for it. I like Bryant Park. We?ll see.
Are there any places you would like to see in New York, but have not been to yet?
I was talking to Kym [Canter, Creative Director for L-atitude] about this the other day and she goes: "We know every place!" But it's not true. Greenpoint, Williamsburg, I bet there are very interesting little shops out there. I don't go out there nearly enough. In fact, I never go out there. I feel like I don?t pay enough attention to all those Brooklyn neighborhoods.
I have a pre-packed bag with my cosmetics and miniature toothpaste and things, but I don't have a pre-packed suitcase. I don't bring the sort of clothes that seem like they would be easy to travel with -- I bring all my tutus and everything, and this is further complicated by the fact that I don't check my clothes because they are too precious to me. I would have to cram all my clothes into my carry-on, and check the other bag with the things that can be replaced. It's a bit of a nightmare packing-wise.
When I was in Paris last spring, it was really cold and I had my one coat with me. All the Frenchies had their cute little fur coats. I was like: "Damn it! It's not fair!" I was stuck with the same green coat everyday. I don't plan my outfits for everyday, but the items I have with me are usually fairly elaborate.
This is the most boring answer in the whole world. I like Paris, France. I know it's ridiculous. I like everything about it: the way it looks, the things you can buy, hearing people speak French. I even like it that the French are so mean -- it's more of a challenge. I also like it when it's not fashion week, arguably even more.
I like looking at the people when I go to a new city. I travel a lot because I also write for Travel + Leisure. A lot of times I'll be in the taxi from the airport going to Buenos Aires or Amsterdam, I look out the window and realize I packed all the wrong things --- this is how people look and I?ve got this all wrong. I would see people riding their bikes with a big sweater on. And of course I didn't pack a big sweater. I love to observe these regional differences.
Tons. That's what I do. I go shopping and buy things. I had a rule for a while to not buy clothes, only accessories, because I would buy clothes and it would not be the right thing. Lately, I've going off that rule and bought clothes, some more successful than others.

After this lunch, who needs dinner?
The Soviet lunch was supposed to be the big meal of the day. But how did Soviet housewives find time to cook it all before time to eat?
This week's Soviet meal is lunch – which oddly is supposed to be consumed a couple of hours after work, followed only by light dinner or even snack. This Soviet version of lunch sounds more like dinner to me.
I remember hoping that all the meals I make as part of this project would be quick and easy to make, as the Party line clearly stated that women needed their time for self education and family. I guess the authors define "quick and easy" differently from me – in part, no doubt, due to general laziness and ease with which we are used to cooking these days (forgive the generalization).
I complied and chose autumn and then Sunday, as it seemed to be the only day I would have time to make four – yes, four! – courses for lunch. Now, I must explain that a Sunday lunch to me is a sandwich, or leftovers, or even lunch out with friends.
Dinner is often fresh spring rolls (watching my husband cursing while trying to roll them never gets old) or a chicken wrap with vegetables. "Healthy and tasty," I think, and with just 20-30 minutes required to prepare them, there is plenty of time for education (watching Modern Family or Mad Men counts, right?).
In contrast to my typical lunch, the Soviet lunch took just under two hours to make and included baked mushrooms with cheese, baked eggplant with vegetable stuffing, cream of chicken soup (tastes as weird as it sounds) and the omnipresent apple kompot, which is kind of drink that is like fruit juice.
Note that my cooking time for lunch was no doubt helped by my well-equipped, enormous 95-aquare-foot kitchen. My kitchen is huge by Soviet and even modern Russian standards. In comparison, my grandmother's kitchen is about 45 square feet.
In this space, she manages to cook for any number people and also seat and feed three. Until the 1960s, she didn't even have her own kitchen. She lived in a kommunalka, an apartment that was shared by many families.
I wouldn't recommend cream of chicken anyway.
I enjoyed the mushrooms, eggplant and kompot, and felt like a proud Soviet housewife having made it all. But next Sunday at lunchtime, you'll find me at the French restaurant across the road.
Wash eggplants, take ends off, cut open (not to the bottom), and take seeds out with a teaspoon. After that, put eggplant into salted boiling water for five minutes, stuff with chopped vegetables or mushrooms. Put in a greased, oven-proof baking dish, cover with sour cream and bake approximately 1 hour.
Clean, wash and pour boiling water over mushrooms. Drain, chop up, salt and fry in oil. When almost fried, add a teaspoon of flour and mix, then add sour cream, boil, add grated cheese and bake.
Before serving, sprinkle mushrooms with parsley or dill. You can also baked pickled mushrooms. In this case, drain the marinade, wash and chop up the mushrooms and fry.
Continue as with fresh mushrooms.
Peel apples, remove the core and cut into 6-8 pieces each. So that the apples don't go brown, before boiling, put them into cold water with a little lemon juice. Put sugar and 2 cups hot water into a pot, then add the apples and boil on low heat for 10-15 minutes until apples are soft.
Boil chicken until ready. Fry onions and root vegetables in oil with flour until yellow, add broth and boil 15-20 minutes, then strain.
Mince the chicken meat twice then add it to the broth. Mix well. Add cream mixed with egg yolk.
You can serve with white bread croutons or meat pies (pirozhki).


New Delhi: State-run BSNL 3G is the only telecom operator that has failed the call drop test conducted by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) in Amritsar, the regulator said on Tuesday. All other mobile carriers have successfully met the Call Drop Rate of 2%, the report said.
"All operators are meeting the Call Drop Rate benchmark of 2% except BSNL 3G," a statement released by Trai said. State-run BSNL 3G was the worst performer at the call drop test with a Call Drop Rate of 18.26%.

US offers up to $3 million reward for arrest of senior ISIS leader
AFP, Washington
Published: 29 May ,2020: 09:08 AM GST Updated: 29 May ,2020: 09:22 AM GST
The United States said Thursday it would offer up to $3 million for the arrest of a senior leader of ISIS who has overseen the extremist grisly execution videos.
The State Department said it would provide the reward in return for information on the location or further identification of Jordanian-born Muhammad Khadir Musa Ramadan, also known as Abu Bakr al-Gharib.
"He has overseen the planning, coordination and production of numerous propaganda videos, publications and online platforms that included brutal and cruel scenes of torture and mass execution of innocent civilians," it said in a statement.
US special forces in October killed the group's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi inside Syria, where the terrorists once ran a self-styled caliphate that stretched into Iraq.
The group carried out summary beheadings and enslaved non-Muslims, with videos of their deeds used to recruit fighters from around the world.
A Western-backed military campaign decimated the group's former stronghold, but attacks linked to ISIS have been rising farther afield, including in Afghanistan and sub-Saharan Africa.
