Quick recap: After Ashitaka is attacked by a demon, he goes in search of a cure. While on his journey, he becomes involved with a war between the animals of the forest and a mining town.
Is it too much to ask for a two hour movie with just these guys?
Fun (?) fact: This is probably common knowledge, but Neil Gaiman was the one to adapt the dialogue so that English speakers could better understand what was going on. Is there anything that guy can't do?
My thoughts: I had no idea what to expect going into this since my knowledge of anime is about as stereotypically American as you can get (translation- I've seen Cowboy Bebop and parts of Inuyasha thanks to late night Adult Swim). That's not to say I have anything against the genre. There is just so much to choose from that I wouldn't know where to begin. I'm not sure Princess Mononoke was a good starting point but that's not because it was a bad movie.
First, let me admit that as much as I tried, I kept being reminded of FernGully, even though the two aren't that similar. I guess it was the battle between nature versus industry that led me down that path, although-side note- FernGully doesn't hold up after all these years. I watched it a couple of years ago and it brought back some great nostalgia but that's about it. Princess Mononoke is leaps and bounds much more complex than that movie and I would venture to say more complex than most animated films. I was really impressed with how much the film required me to concentrate and didn't just tell me how I was supposed to feel. My thoughts toward the characters changed with each scene and even at the end, I wasn't sure how I felt. I won't give away the ending but I will say that if you are looking for a feel good film for the entire family, this ain't it.
also not kid appropriate because of this scene. Pictured is a big fat NOPE.
My one complaint, and I'm not even sure it is one, is that I felt like some of the movie was lost in translation. I understand that there are words in the Japanese language that are almost impossible to translate but the dialogue just seemed so simple compared to the plot I tried to follow. Is there a version I could watch with subtitles? I'm not even sure that would fix anything. The American voices also threw me off more than I expected (Billy Bob Thornton? Really?) and they didn't seem to fit at all with the characters. I guess I was hoping for something a little more authentic to the original and not so Disneyfied.
Final review: 4/5. The animation alone is worth the score and is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen but the theme also impressed me. I feel like I would need to watch it again to really understand what was going on.

Home News VMware introduces next-generation SD-WAN solution
VMware introduces next-generation SD-WAN solution
In order to stay competitive, enterprises are transforming their applications, adopting multi-cloud and SaaS, and enabling users to access these applications from the office, home or elsewhere. VMwarey unveiled its next-generation SD-WAN solution, including a new SD-WAN Client, to help enterprises more securely, reliably, and optimally deliver applications, data and services—no matter where they reside—to the site, branch, and home, across any network to any device.
"We've evolved VMware SD-WAN to meet enterprises' requirements in support of distributed data, users and applications," said Sanjay Uppal, senior vice president and general manager, Service Provider and Edge, VMware. "Enterprises today need more secure, reliable, and optimal delivery of applications, data, and services regardless of where the application or the user or the device lives. The new VMware SD-WAN Client will enable enterprises to provide consistent security and ubiquitous and reliable connectivity to users and devices everywhere."
Innovating to Better Connect and Secure Distributed Clouds, Workers, and Applications
Enterprises adopting these cloud, workforce and application transformation initiatives require a move from a centralized to distributed IT model. If relying exclusively on traditional approaches to networking, security and operations, enterprises will face challenges ranging from inefficient cloud/SaaS access, poor application quality, and compromised security to outdated remote access VPN connectivity and operational complexities and expenses.
An evolution of SD-WAN is required to successfully support enterprises' transformation initiatives. Cloud-native by design, VMware SD-WAN and VMware SASE enable enterprises to bring edge compute and networking together for application transformation while delivering consistent security and ubiquitous, reliable, and optimal connectivity for the branch and distributed workforce. The platform features a single management interface that leverages artificial intelligence to simplify operations. New features and capabilities support three areas of transformation:
Cloud transformation: To better assist enterprises with connectivity to the cloud, into the cloud and through the cloud, VMware is re and its partners now provide more than 200 PoPs worldwide delivering high-speed, low-latency connections to major cloud and SaaS providers. Additionally, VMware SD-WAN and SASE now offer enhanced artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) capabilities within VMware Edge Network Intelligence to help enterprises identify better network paths to the cloud and proactively notify operations teams to take remedial action.
Workforce transformation: VMware today unveiled a new SD-WAN Client to provide consistent connectivity, performance, and security capabilities to remote workers on the road. To accelerate the development of the SD-WAN Client, VMware today also announced it has acquired the team, products and IP of Ananda Networks. The new PC and mobile soft client will leapfrog legacy remote access VPNs via a cloud-native, cloud-delivered approach enabling a smooth transition to Zero Trust while incorporating elements of Dynamic Multipath Optimization for enhanced performance. The SD-WAN Client will be seamlessly integrated with the existing VMware SD-WAN offering. Read the VMware SD-WAN Client blog post.
Application transformation: VMware SD-WAN and SASE will enhance connectivity, compute, and intelligence in rapidly evolving edge use cases with the help of VMware Private Mobile Network. Delivered by service providers, this managed service offering provides enterprises with private 4G/5G mobile connectivity in support of edge-native applications. Building on VMware Edge Compute Stack, the service is seamlessly integrated with existing IT management platforms and incorporates VMware's industry leading compute, network, security, and edge intelligence solutions.
VMware SD-WAN is a part of VMware SASE. VMware was recently positioned by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SD-WAN. Gartner recognized VMware for its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. (1)
"We are excited for this announcement – the VMware SD-WAN Client will give us a direct 'vendor to work at home environment' that lets us experience all of the benefits of SD-WAN without requiring any middle hardware. This will give us a more secure, single pane of glass experience for both security and network performance," said Keith Bradley, Vice President Information Technology at Nature Fresh Farms.
"Coevolve is excited to see this announcement and the capabilities it will bring to our global clients. As a telco-independent solution provider, we have deployed the VMware SD-WAN solution in more than 80 countries and the software client addresses many new use cases," said Ciaran Roche, CTO at Coevolve. "Our clients frequently have complex environments that require access to 3rd party partner environments and this client will facilitate seamless connectivity into their global networks."
"For maximum performance, Cloud and SaaS applications require efficient, optimized access, and infrastructure that's specifically designed to support them. Traditional remote access to corporate networks via VPN often delivers less-than-optimal application performance," said Darren Wolner, senior director of SASE product management for Lumen Technologies. "As longtime partners of VMware, we are excited to see the continued innovation with VMware's SD-WAN Client solution. Providing a more secure solution that's seamless and easy to implement will be a great complement to the access and managed SASE solutions we offer our customers."

Peg received a call from one of her PEZhead friends that Mr. Ed's in Orrtanna, PA had just been stocked with the new Presidents set from PEZ. Since I don't mind cruising Rt. 30, I grabbed my trusty iPhone for some snapshots and we were off. To illustrate how serious (crazy?) Peg is about her PEZ collecting, just remember that this is a 150 mile round trip for PEZ that will eventually be at our local Wal-Mart! But, Mr. Ed's is a great place to pick up any current releases of PEZ and a fun little place to stop.
Both inside and out, Mr. Ed's has all kinds of quirky elephant collectibles scattered about. It is a great place to act a little "nuts" and pose with the props. They have a great selection of candies including some hard to find varieties that were once popular in the past.
Since we were already on Rt. 30, you know we are going to swing by Desert Flower Wholesale. Just west of Gettysburg, PA, the shop has quite literary tons of concrete statues for sale and is open to the public. While the outside is remarkable with its variety of castings, you must wander inside for a colorful treat. This small building is just packed from floor to ceiling with all manner of trinkets. The place feels magical with all it glass orbs floating about the ceiling. Their selection of Día de Muertos or Day of the Dead art is second to none and I just wish I had more room in my house because I would have bought many of the items.

The talk-show host donned a yellow one-piece swimsuit to venture into the ocean and later returned to a group of chaises to chat and show PDA with her companion.
However, Latifah has maintained that she doesn't feel the need to talk about her romantic relationships, saying in 2008, "I don't have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life." She later added in 2013, "I know what I'm comfortable with and what I'm not.
Jeanette apparently put too much of a pressure on staying fit a forced her girlfriend follow her in this passion of her's.
Queen Latifah and her girlfriend share a sweet kiss together while relaxing poolside at the Hotel Cala di Volpe on Sunday (August 17) in Porto Cervo, Sardinia.
I'm sorry it has to be this way but this is complete bull!
I don't think Queen has ever been ashamed of her sexuality (whatever it may be) although I do believe she keeps her private life separate as a way to escape anyone commenting on her life.
And the picture many people have used as proof that she is in fact a lesbian could have been taken out of context like so many other photos.
So is it really likely that she would suddenly want to get married just because she was inspired by Macklemore and Madonna's Grammy performance?

Have you ever wondered about the origins of the tales involving legendary sea monsters? Our newest blog series will explore their roots as well as provide logical explanations for each creature. We hope you enjoy! Are there any legendary seas monsters you would like us to explore? Let us know!
Sailors told tales of the Kraken, a multiple armed creature who wrapped its arms around the hulls of sailing ships, capsizing them almost instantly. The creature left the crew to either drown or be eaten. While this legend seems incredibly farfetched as most legends do, the Kraken is the only sea creature that we have the most evidence to even remotely prove its alleged existence.
In the Greek epic, The Odyssey, Odysseus encounters a creature similar to the Kraken. Odysseus' sea monster, the Scylla had 6 heads rather than multiple arms. He was forced to sail past him during his adventures.
Despite its relation to the Scylla, the Kraken was first reported in print when Carolus Linnaeus wrote about him in his 1735 book, Systema Naturae. He dates the tales back to Norway during the 12th Century when sailors reportedly mistook the creature for an island or series of islands due to its rather large size.
Another over exaggerated report of the Kraken occurs in Erik Ludvisgen Pontoppidian's book, The Natural History of Norway. The report states the Kraken as "incontestably being the largest sea monster in the world." Despite its recorded width of 1 ½ miles, Pontoppidian declares the biggest threat the Kraken posed to humans was in the disturbance it created when it surfaced or the series of whirlpools it created as it descended back into the depths of the ocean.
The first time the Kraken had been realistically written about was in an 1802 scientific report by French scientist Pierre Denys de Montfort. He explained that the creatures likely encountered by Norwegian sailors were colossal octopuses.
Based on these accounts we can now confidently say the legendary Kraken mentioned throughout history was likely a giant squid. The giant squid is an aggressive species and are much more likely to surface than its counterpart, the colossal octopus. There were three recorded attacks involving a giant squid verses a ship in the 1930's—in each account the squid died once it was sucked into the ships propeller by the current.
Are you still a believer in the Kraken? Let us know in our comments section or head on over to the Monterey Boats Facebook page!


Many parents do not think of the long term problems and effects that obesity will have on their child and do not sit back and try and help their child to fight it.
The past 30 to 40 years have seen marked changes in the lifestyle and diets of Western civilization. A growing concern among parents as a result of these changes is child obesity. Eleven per cent of children under the age of 6 are obese in South Africa. What are the causes? Is it a disease? Can you do anything to help your child or prevent them from becoming obese?
While your child may appear to be healthy, the negative effects of obesity are usually only seen later in adult life, eliciting itself in forms like diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. Not to mention the psychological distress a child may suffer at the hands of bullies which will detrimentally affect their self esteem.
Obesity is increased body weight caused by excessive accumulation of fat. When your child is young it is difficult to determine if they are obese or just retaining "puppy fat". A body mass index (BMI) measurement is also not conclusive in children. You'll have to do comparative testing with other children your child's age. It is best to speak to your GP to interpret the tests. The effects of obesity can cause type 2 diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, cancer, depression and other psychological disorders.
Contrary to popular belief not all children are obese because of overeating. Genetics and underlying medical problems account for a percentage of obesity in children. In fact, studies indicate that children are more likely to be obese if their parents are obese. This however might not necessarily be solely because of genetics, but because families share eating habits and lifestyle too. Most children put on weight because of a combination of unhealthy eating, lifestyle and lack of exercise. Contemporary standards of living cater for fast foods and inactivity which promotes obesity. The National Diet and Nutrition Survey for the UK in 2000 showed that 40% of boys and 60% of girls do not get the recommended hour of activity per day.
One of the reasons for obesity is poor diet which includes highly processed foods, foods high in calories and fast foods. Even eating habits influence obesity; constant eating throughout the day as opposed to sitting down for meals a few times a day helps enable over weight. While in and of itself not a problem, but foods usually used for constant eating are things like chips, cookies and breads. To lose weight is not only a matter of diet. If a child is to lose weight they must eat healthily, change eating habits and increase exercise. If you are concerned about your child's health make sure their foods are nutritious and varied.
Starch is bulky and rich in complex a carbohydrate which makes them a great source of energy for your children. These foods include bread, potatoes, pasta and rice, but remember if your child doesn't use this energy their body will store the food as fat for use later. Low fat foods like chocolate, biscuits, sweets and cakes should not be indulged constantly. Replace these with fresh fruit, nuts or crackers, while allowing the occasional sweet. Remember these are okay in moderation. Instead of frying foods try to grill or bake them. Foods like sausages, fish fingers and burgers have lower fat content when baked or grilled as opposed to fried, which often requires extra oils. Fizzy drinks are high in sugar content and should be replaced with fruit juices or sugar free-alternatives. Wholegrain or wheat biscuit cereals should be preferred over sugar coated, chocolate cereals etc. A piece of fruit is also a good complement with this sort breakfast.
Your kids will follow your example so I'm afraid this means healthy eating for the whole family. After all, it is the family who will have to deal with the complications of obesity in later adult life such as depression or diabetes. Families should sit down and have regular meals together as opposed to eating separately throughout the day. Do not eat while watching TV. Concentration that should be given to chewing properly is diverted to the television. Chewing properly will give your kids' time to recognize that they're full. Tell your kids to eat when they're hungry not out of habit so do not make them "clean their plates" when eating; only they know when they've had enough. Do not stock foods that are high in fat and sugar. Make finger foods available, but these should be healthy. It also helps to get your kids involved in preparing the food as it will enable them to enjoy it more.
Helping your child to use the energy that their body is storing can help reduce the risks of obesity. Exercise such as walking to places that are close to home instead of driving there can help give your child the recommended daily exercise. Take your child to a park to play with the dogs or kick around a ball. You can make exercise a treat by taking them to different places like ice skating or hiking. Enable your child to exercise by doing things with them and showing by example. Perhaps get your child involved in a sports club or local class or some sort.
Experts recommend that you should not get your child to lose the weight if they are obese, but maintain it and let them grow into it as they get taller. They should only ever lose weight with medical advice. Remember that your child is your responsibility and you can help them to overcome obesity if you set a good example.

When voters passed medical marijuana in Florida in the 2016 election, many celebrated the victory as it would finally mean gaining access to a needed medicine. However, when lawmakers finally passed laws earlier this year to implement the voter-approved law, they made the decision to ban smokable medical cannabis. This immediately became an issue between the state and the group who helped make the initiative become a reality, People United for Medical Marijuana, and lawyer John Morgan, who wrote the initiative.
Before the bill regulating medical cannabis was passed by lawmakers, Morgan had promised he would sue the state if they followed through with their proposed ban on smokable cannabis. The hope behind the amendment was that it would open access to medical marijuana for as many Floridians as possible – but since so many rely on smoking for the most immediate benefits of cannabis, the state's smoking ban goes against the intention of the amendment.
"By redefining the constitutionally defined term 'medical use' to exclude smoking, the Legislature substitutes its medical judgment for that of 'a licensed Florida physician' and is in direct conflict with the specifically articulated Constitutional process," the initial lawsuit filing states.
Months later, a court date has finally been set, and Leon County Circuit Court Judge Karen Gievers will be hearing the case on January 25th. The state has filed a motion to dismiss the case, but Morgan believes that there is definitely grounds for their case – which means this is likely the first of many court dates before the judge will determine whether it was unconstitutional for the state to ban smokable forms of cannabis.
Part of the argument is that the initiative language allowed legislators to make decisions regarding smoking in public places – but not about its use in private residences or the sale of whole-plant smokable cannabis in dispensaries. Lawmakers argue that allowing whole-plant cannabis to be sold would create a "backdoor" to recreational legalization.
While there is no telling how long the courts will drag this case out, if Judge Gievers sides with Morgan and his co-plaintiffs (all medical marijuana patients), a whole new set of rules and regulations would have to be written to include smokable forms of medical cannabis. The Florida Department of Health would be responsible for creating these new rules in a timely manner to ensure that patients don't wait any longer than they already have for the medicine they need.
It's entirely possible to blame the various "no smoking" rules—in Florida and other states—on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who arrogantly demanded the first such rule before he signed NY's 2014 (Un)Compassionate Care Act. Cuomo publicly expresses scorn for all smokers, in general, but it's really none of his damned business. The current dismal situation in New York—where a tiny group of "legal" cannabis growers are selfishly suing the state to halt licensing of new growers, all because Cuomo's ridiculous demand vastly diminished sales—proves that no smoking rules cause direct harm to patients. Simply put, they block patient access by smothering a state's medical cannabis industry. So thanks for nothing, governor, along with every one of your "marihuana"-smoker-hating ilk. None of you will ever understand how 'life, liberty and pursuit of happiness' truly work.


Katherine Howe is a rehabilitative movement practitioner and provider based in Lexington, Kentucky. She'd run her business part-time for over 10 years and was ready to take it full-time! With a background that includes dance, Pilates, physical therapy, Katherine is uniquely setting her up to offer holistic, personalized private sessions to her clients that can incorporate movement, breathing technique, exercise, movement habits, and/or injury recovery work.
To really take her work to the next level, she needed a complete, professional visual identity for her business, as well as a website that supported her professional goals. Blustery Day Design was happy to help her with both.
Katherine did some soul-searching and brain-storming to first come up with the perfect name for her now-full-time venture: Ravel Studio Pilates. The word "Ravel" really resonated with her: "Ravel is a word that actually has two meanings; it means to unravel too. Same thing. I work on "unraveling" by being presented with symptoms and taking time to find out the true cause of the symptoms. Then, because unraveling always brings up new things (good and not-so-good sometimes), things kind of get raveled again; it's a complicated, sometimes messy, sometimes beautiful, sometimes complicated path." What a perfect name for the mindful work she does!
Once she decided on the new, perfect name, Jessica got to work on the Ravel Studio Pilates identity. Katherine is a fan of color and natural materials, and mentioned wanting a look that is "simply elegant". We also learned that most of her current clients are women, but we didn't want any men to feel un-welcome. After trying a few options, we made a branding palette that was colorful yet peaceful (and gender-neutral) with earthy browns, green, and purples.
For the logo itself, Jessica designed a simple representation of a coiled "string." The final Ravel Studio Pilates logo really captures the spirit of the name Katherine chose and her philosophy for body movement work, while also scaling well for many print and digital applications.
After we finalized the logo and color scheme, we began work on designing and developing a new website. Katherine diligently worked through our website worksheet to clarify that her target visitor audience was folks desiring a purposeful, gentle, mindful and holistic way to approach their individual body needs or problems. With that insight, now we could design the site with them in mind, and provide Ravel Studio Pilate's website visitors with ways to learn more about Katherine, the Pilates method, and her specific services.
Katherine's previous and current clients had provided her some amazing testimonials that we sprinkled all throughout the site, showing visitors the success others have had with Katherine's services. Jessica also consulted with Katherine on how she could best structure and write her content in order to accomplish her goals of being simple and clear, and inspiring her visitors with a positive body message of hope.
The final website now presents Katherine as the professional and knowledgeable holistic rehabilitative body movement worker that she truly is. The services she provides through Ravel Studio Pilates are highlighted and explained, and the site easily allows visitors to contact her with inquiries. There are calls to action on every page that invite the visitors to take the next step in learning more or contacting Katherine.
The new website we built is now a beautiful home for Ravel Studio Pilates on the web that incorporates the new logo and brand colors, and will support Katherine in growing her client work to new heights of success.
"I know I can be effusive but being a "hopeless optimistic" is my approach to life! Jessica has terrific sensibilities; she is able to get artistic souls to take the time to put into words what they do – a daunting task for most. Her website development "forms" ask the right questions and leaves space for personal interpretation. It never felt "dry" or repetitive; it was just plain good work. Jessica was encouraging yet helped me stay on task – nice combination again, for people like me who prefer to spend time in their heads thinking about their work, but never taking time to really sit down and articulate their passion.
It must be her artistic talent herself that helps her understand her clients; she is as creative as she is productive – wow! I could tell that she was excited about my project and was having fun developing my logo – which by the way I love.
The finished logo – would look equally good printed small on a business card and applied large on a studio entrance wall.
Website looks great on all screens.

Q: How can I update a textview from one fragment to another I have an activity "MainActivity" that contains two fragments. Fragment1 has a EditText and a button. When the user presses the button the text inside the EditText will be sent to Fragment2 which only has a TextView. But I can't quite figureout how to send the text from EditText in Fragment1 to TextView in Fragment2. If someone could help? Appreciated. Thanks
Fragment1
package org.pctechtips.myfragmentapp;

/**
 * Created by george on 5/16/17.
 */

public class ButtonFragment extends Fragment {

    Button bt;
    EditText editText;
    TextView txtView;

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        View view =  inflater.inflate(R.layout.button_fragment,
                container, false);

        txtView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_fragment1);
        editText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.editText_fragment1);

        bt = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button_fragment1);
        bt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                buttonClicked(v);
            }
        });

        return view;
    }

    public void buttonClicked (View view) {
        .onButtonClick(edittext.getText().toString());
    }

}

MainActivity
package org.pctechtips.myfragmentapp;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        /*fragments 1 section*/
        FragmentManager fm1 = getFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction ft1 = fm1.beginTransaction();
        ButtonFragment bf = new ButtonFragment();
        ft1.add(R.id.button_fragment1, bf);
        ft1.commit();

        /*Fragment 2 section*/
        FragmentManager fm2 = getFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction ft2 = fm2.beginTransaction();
        TextviewFragment tf = new TextviewFragment();
        ft2.add(R.id.textView_fragment2, tf);
        ft2.commit();

        }

}

Fragment2
public class TextviewFragment extends Fragment {

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.text_fragment, container, false);
    }
}

A: The quick and easy answer is to call getView().findViewById() from the activity (as shown below). The more proper approach is to give your fragments an interface that gets and retrieves the text. Below is the code for the quick and easy method, but when you create a fragment in Android studio it shows you how to do the more proper interface approach.
package org.pctechtips.myfragmentapp;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    /*fragments 1 section*/
    FragmentManager fm1 = getFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction ft1 = fm1.beginTransaction();
    ButtonFragment bf = new ButtonFragment();
    ft1.add(R.id.button_fragment1, bf);
    ft1.commit();

    /*Fragment 2 section*/
    FragmentManager fm2 = getFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction ft2 = fm2.beginTransaction();
    TextviewFragment tf = new TextviewFragment();
    ft2.add(R.id.textView_fragment2, tf);
    ft2.commit();

    EditText et = (EditText) ft1.getView().findViewById(YOUR_EDITTEXT_ID);
    Button button = (Button) ft1.getView().findViewById(YOUR_BUTTON_ID);
    TextView tv = (TextView) ft2.getView().findViewById(YOUR_TEXTVIEW_ID);

    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            tv.setText(et.getText();)
        }
    });
}

A: You can do it by several ways. For example via Activity like in Official Docs. But, I'm prefer send broadcast messages via LocalBroadcastManager like in this answer of war_Hero:

In Sending Fragment(Fragment B - Your ButtonFragment)
public class FragmentB {

    private void sendMessage() {
      Intent intent = new Intent("custom-event-name");
      intent.putExtra("message", "your message");
      LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent);
    }
 }

And in the Message to be Received Fragment(FRAGMENT A - Your TextviewFragment)
  public class FragmentA {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

      ...

      // Register receiver
      LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(receiver,
          new IntentFilter("custom-event-name"));
    }

//    This will be called whenever an Intent with an action named "custom-event-name" is broadcasted.
    private BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
      @Override
      public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String message = intent.getStringExtra("message");
      }
    };
}

And don't forget to unregister receiver:
protected void onPause() {
  super.onPause();
  LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}

Camping in a RV is not really camping!
This is a debate that continues on. What do you think?
Whether you are out camping, fishing or find yourself in a survival situation, you want to be sure that you can rely on what is, simply put, the most important tool you have in your possession.
If you hike make sure you are comfortable doing it, and here's how. There are also certain foods that provide you energy while hiking and the acronym is GORP - learn what that is.
Climbing has taught me to aim high, never give up, move at my own pace, and enjoy the view.

The solar industry's Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and the wind industry's Production Tax Credit (PTC) extension, both announced in December, are driving the development of new renewable energy projects, while also generating a renewed interest in clean energy by project financiers. That was one consensus among speakers at the American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE)'s Renewable Energy Finance Forum-Wall Street (REFF-Wall Street), in late June.
One of the biggest factors driving investment is that clean energy prices continue to drop, making them cost competitive with fossil fuels, as noted by several panelists at the two-day event. Wind power prices have now fallen to 2.5 cents per kWh, a 60% drop since 2009, while solar has fallen 70% since 2009 to 5 cents per KWh, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.


Acquiring disk space in an affordable should not be the sole real criteria at the discretion whom to select for just about any web-host company. Explore only desire to be been sent – you have to be taken proper care of immediately. That can present you with business.
For this reason you need to be extra careful when selecting an internet site hosting service. There are many rules and methods to choose a reliable affordable webhost. Affordable means probably, shared website hosting, and you ought to take a look at how reliable the help are.
In shared internet hosting, several websites utilize the same server. The security is not within reach of the site, but within reach of the service provides. This could cause the shared internet hosting service unacceptable to sensitive companies. Make a decision about how exactly reliable you isp is. Also, since there are 10 to 30 websites employing the same server, the speed is slow, so when you are looking at selling, this may hinder profits. This type of internet hosting services are just appropriate for businesses with moderate traffic levels.
Unlimited internet hosting also provides its share of problems. The word 'unlimited' really describes 'unlimited domains' rather than 'unlimited space'. You possibly can make as much domains as you wish nevertheless the more domains you're making, the less space each domain has. Consequently, you may finish tabs on websites that are only one page with (maybe) a couple of links. Before deciding on unlimited internet hosting, see how much space you will need.
Reliable affordable internet hosting services are people who offer maximum traffic within the least expensive cost. Hence, you need a good check into simply how much traffic your internet site is attracting. This relies round the capacity in the server.
Internet hosting services are getting increasingly common daily, and charges Are going lower. But it is very crucial that you choose a reliable, affordable internet hosting services to get the most your money can buy.

Irie Tomotoshi's memorandum addressed to Jyurobee who was in charge of the Bungomachi store, in 1748. The words quoted are indicated by red lines.
These words were written in 1748 by Irie Tomotoshi (younger full brother of Tomomasa, the fifth head of the Sumitomo family), the owner of a money changing business in Bungomachi, as a management principle for the edification of Jyurobee, who was responsible for running the business.
Tomotoshi himself was a learned man. He pursued classical Chinese studies as a student of Goi Ranshu (Confucian scholar in Osaka in the early 18th century), waka Japanese poetry mentored by Reizei Tamemura (aristocrat and poet in the mid Edo era), and kokugaku Japanese studies and Shinto under Hara Kiyoshige (pupil of Yamazaki Ansai, Confucian scholar and Shinto scholar). Drawing on his learning, Tomotoshi authored several memoranda about Sumitomo. The house rules and regulations in these memoranda constituted the core of the Rules Governing the House of Sumitomo formulated in 1882, which served as the guiding principles of Sumitomo's business development.
Halfbrother of Tomomasa, the fifth head of the Sumitomo family. Established a cadet branch of the Sumitomo family in Bungomachi in 1743 known as the Irie family. In 1751, stipulated detailed house rules for each business operation, such as the House of Sumitomo, the Bungomachi branch, Besshi Mine, and Edo Store. He also expanded the business by opening the Edo Asakusa rice brokerage and merging Besshi Mine and Tatsukawa Mine. Furthermore, he vigorously supported the Kaitokudo academy for merchants and promoted many cultural projects. When Tomomasa passed away in 1758, Tomonori became the head of the Sumitomo family at the age of 19, but Tomotoshi, who was the foster father and guardian of Tomonori, wielded the real power in the Sumitomo family. In order to oversee the entire household, Tomotoshi established rules covering accounting, appointments, and treatment of personnel. He also organized the archives.

Horrortober Reading List
You know, 2021 hasn't been all that much better than 2020. Which is why I've been waiting for Horrortober to arrive to I can just burrow down deeper into the genre and world I love and ignore the horse dookie around me. Along with watching at least a horror movie a day (last year's record breaker was 70 movies in 31 days – hmmm, let's see if I can top that), I'll be reading lots o scary books. Here is my 2021 lineup. Hopefully you find something you'd like to add to your list. Better yet, what are you planning on reading?
I couldn't wait to get this book in my hot little hands. I mean, it's Elvira, the queen of horror. I've met her several times and she has always been a pleasure to be around. A book that is 70 years in the making, which seems impossible to believe.
The woman behind the icon known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, the undisputed Queen of Halloween, reveals her full story, filled with intimate bombshells, told by the bombshell herself.
The latest by the prolific Armand Rosamilia, Trapped has the best returning character in literary history, TV cryptozoologist, Hunter Shaya!! Yeah, I may be biased.
Forget the conspiracy theories about Denver International Airport… this just got real.
When a massive snowstorm shuts down the airport and forces a plane carrying exotic and deadly cargo, those trapped inside the terminal have no idea what's in store for them.
Can a group of passengers and airport workers band together to face the onslaught, or will they be ripped apart?
Jeff Strand signed my copy of Allison at Scares that Care and I squirreled it away just for Horrortober. Strand never, ever disappoints, so I know this will rock.
Allison can break your bones with her mind, and she can't control her power.
Now forty-five years old, she's spent her life trying to stay away from other people. But a random encounter with a couple on the street leaves her believing that she may have done something horrible. Something unforgivable.
Killer-for-hire Daxton and his girlfriend Maggie know the truth. Instead of easing Allison's anguish, they come up with a cruel plan to take advantage of it. But with Allison's abilities exposed, there may be a grisly body count very soon…
From its shocking opening to its sinister conclusion, ALLISON is Jeff Strand at his over-the-top best!
I've had this on my shelf for months! I hear nothing but great things about Dear Laura.
Every year, on her birthday, Laura gets a letter from a stranger. That stranger claims to know the whereabouts of her missing friend Bobby, but there's a catch: he'll only tell her what he knows in exchange for something…personal.So begins Laura's sordid relationship with her new penpal, built on a foundation of quid pro quo. Her quest for closure will push her to bizarre acts of humiliation and harm, yet no matter how hard she tries, she cannot escape her correspondent's demands. The letters keep coming, and as time passes, they have a profound effect on Laura.From the author of Cruel Works of Nature comes a dark and twisted tale about obsession, guilt, and how far a person will go to put her ghosts to bed.
It's no secret that Chad Lutzke is one of my favorite authors (and human beings for that matter). Just working my way through all of his books. I already know I'll dig it.
"My name is Levi. I'm 16. I've got a skull for a face. And here's how shit went down."
Having never been outside the walls of Gramm Jones Foster Care Facility, sixteen-year-old Levi leaves in the middle of the night with an empty backpack and a newfound lust for life. A journey that leads him into the arms of delusional newlyweds, drunkards, polygamists, the dangerous, and the batshit crazy. His destination? Hermosa Beach, California where he's told there is another like him, with the face of a skull.
A coming-of-age road trip filled with surreal Lynch-ian encounters exploring the dark, the disturbing, and the lonely in a 1980s world—an epic venture for one disfigured boy struggling to find his place in the world.
I recently met Daniel Volpe and grabbed a couple of his books. This one looks insane, so count me in!
In the early 1990s the rising popularity of the video cassette gave birth to a seedy, underground world of illicit pornography.
Talia, a Midwest dreamer, leaves home in search of fame under the blinding Broadway lights. But nothing could have prepared her for what she finds instead. Savage violence, bottomless depravity, and no way out.
Talia will unapologetically drag you into the foul underbelly of society. A sanity straining journey, full of hot bloodshed and betrayal.

Anticipated Reads for Women In Horror Month #WIHM
February is Women in Horror Month and I've already got my TBR stack locked and loaded. I'm really looking forward to tucking into these tales of the strange and unusual. Some are brand new to me, and others are staples that never disappoint. What's on your list?
New York City, 1990:
When you slip through the cracks, no one is there to catch you. Monique learns that the hard way after her girlfriend Donna vanishes without a trace.
Only after the disappearances of several other impoverished women does Monique hear the rumors. A taloned monster stalks the city's underground and snatches victims into the dark.
Donna isn't missing. She was taken.
To save the woman she loves, Monique must descend deeper than the known underground, into a subterranean world of enigmatic cultists and shadowy creatures. But what she finds looms beyond her wildest fears—a darkness that stretches from the dawn of time and across the stars.
You're next…
Carol and Nessa are strangers but not for much longer.
In a luxury apartment and in the walls of a modern hospital, the evil that was done continues to thrive. They are in the hands of an entity that knows no boundaries and crosses dimensions – bending and twisting time itself – and where danger waits in every shadow. The battle is on for their bodies and souls and the line between reality and nightmare is hard to define.
Through it all, the words of Lydia Warren Carmody haunt them. But who was she? And why have Carol and Nessa been chosen?
The answer lies deep in the darkness…
Maria is a wanted woman. She's wanted by and Aztec trafficker, a cartel boss, the people she fights for, and now the Devil she can't resist.
Her journey begins as a would-be immigrant turned vampire in Juarez, Mexico until the injustices of the world turn her into somehting else. She's not just out for blood, she wants answers.
Maria spends twenty-two years in motel cleaning purgatory trying to keep her faith and sanity intact. When she feels all hope is lost she meets an ex-boxer that offers her a new job and teaches her to fight. During this time, she becomes an unlikely bad ass enforcer of justice for the community that has embraced her. Is she a saint or an old God from a forgotten past?
Not only does she evolve into the woman she always hoped to be, but she finds her creator – Adam- he is nothing like she imagined. He invites Maria to travel with him to England to join The Keepers, a vampire organization led by the ancient Mordecai and Dr. Elizabeth Appleton.
Learning that the true vampire way isn't destruction but the safety of humanity, Maria joins The Keepers as they uncover a plot set into motion by Lucifer himself. The Keepers must end his corruption through political manipulation or watch as the world hurtles towards self-destruction.
Korede's sister Ayoola is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead, stabbed through the heart with Ayoola's knife. Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her "missing" boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.
Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that she's exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she's willing to go to protect her.
Once upon a time, there was a woman, and she was tired. Tired of pushing. Tired of being pushed. Tired of feeling alone. Tired of so much.
So she gathered together a pack of wolves, a band of mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, partners, friends, lovers, survivors, victors and brilliant, shining things, and she told them to sing.
And sing they did.
The result is WE ARE WOLVES, a chorus of of terrifying, moving and heart-breaking stories from some of horror's finest contemporary writers including Gemma Amor, Laurel Hightower, Cina Pelayo, Sarah Read, Hailey Piper, V Castro, Sara Tantlinger, Sonora Taylor and many more.
All proceeds from the sale of this charity anthology will go towards helping the survivors of abuse and assault.

Horrortober Movies and Books – Countdown to Halloween
October – I mean, Horrortober – is my month long Mardi Gras, and I know I'm not alone. As usual, I've been saving special books and movies to keep me immersed in all things horror for the 31 days and nights of terror-fueled delight. And I was smart enough this year not to take on any writing projects so I have all the time I need.
First up, the Monster Men got our furry mitts on the newest edition of 31 Days of Terror. It's a damn fun game where you roll the dice and then consult the book to see what movie you should watch. This is our fourth year playing it on Monster Men and it was pretty funny how we bent the rules to get a good movie for Halloween night. It's a cool way to discover new movies or revisit ones you may have forgotten. Check it out right below. For my part, I want to see if I can top my Horrortober movie total of 55 this time around. We shall see…
Now, on to my reading list. Here are the books I've been smuggling away, saving them for my favorite month. Have you read them? What did you think? I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to be very happy with them.
How far would you go to bring back someone you love?
When Chris's son dies in a tragic car crash, her world is devastated. The walls of grief close in on Chris's life until, one day, a small cut on her finger changes everything.
A drop of blood falls from Chris's hand onto her son's roadside memorial and, later that night, Chris thinks she sees his ghost outside her window. Only, is it really her son's ghost, or is it something else—something evil?
Soon Chris is playing a dangerous game with forces beyond her control in a bid to see her son, Trey, alive once again.
Quinn Maybrook and her father have moved to tiny, boring Kettle Springs, to find a fresh start. But what they don't know is that ever since the Baypen Corn Syrup Factory shut down, Kettle Springs has cracked in half.
On one side are the adults, who are desperate to make Kettle Springs great again, and on the other are the kids, who want to have fun, make prank videos, and get out of Kettle Springs as quick as they can.
Kettle Springs is caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress. It's a fight that looks like it will destroy the town. Until Frendo, the Baypen mascot, a creepy clown in a pork-pie hat, goes homicidal and decides that the only way for Kettle Springs to grow back is to cull the rotten crop of kids who live there now.

Women in Horror Month – 10 New Queens of Horror
Did you know there are other horror writers of the stronger and fairer sex than Anne Rice, V.C Andrews and Shirley Jackson? Two of the three have long since stepped off this mortal coil, yet they seem to garner the most attention, even on a special month like this.
Stephen King may be the king of horror, but every king needs a queen.
For those who don't wade too deep into the genre pool, I have something to tell you. There are more brilliant women penning horror fiction than ever. In fact, there are so many, we may not see a need for WIHM in the near future because every month will be a celebration for all those who write scary stories.
My job today is to list some of the best and brightest horror scribes working today, along with a new and rising star. Please click the links with their names to explore their incredible worlds. You'll thank me later.
I'm going to kick things off with one of my personal favorites. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge fan of J.H. Moncrieff. I simply love her books and as amazing as she is as a writer, she's an even better human being. We've had her on our Monster Men podcast a couple of times so she could talk about her exploration of haunted Poveglia Islandand a trip to Dracula's castle and Romania's haunted forest. I've read and adored every one of her books. Her latest, Those Who Came Before, published by Flame Tree Press (yep, we're joined at the hip), is a must read.
Hopping over to the other side of the pond is another Flame Tree Press rock star, Catherine Cavendish. If you love ghost stories with a gothic yet modern flare, you are in for a treat. She has a formidable library of books to explore, so shine up your glasses and fluff up your comfy reading chair.
I first came to know Somer Canon when I read Vicky Beautiful a few years ago. Call me hooked! Follow her on Instagram and she'll make you envious of the cocktails she's mixing up. Read her books and sip her beverages and you'll be in reader heaven.
I'd been hearing a lot of chatter online about this debut author and her compelling book. To honor WIHM, I purchased Whispers in the Dark by Laurel Hightower. Damn, this is one addictive read. I'm halfway through and hooked like a hungry trout. I expect many, many more good books to come.
I would be remiss if I neglected to add the always cool, Kelli Owen. If you're not reading Kelli, you're doing yourself a disservice. And you'll fail my horror 101 class (you know, when I teach it some day). As my buddy and reviewer Shane Keene would say, you best unfuck yourself and read her stuff, pronto.
In my mind, I can't talk about Kelli without automatically going to Mary Sangiovanni. What I remember most about Mary is the time at Horrorfind many moons ago when she was so kind to my little girls who were a little overwhelmed by the crazies who attend horror cons. Such a sweet person, with a very disturbing imagination! A perfect combo.
One of my favorite coming of age horror books was penned by Pamela Morris. Talk about someone who deserves to stand up and get noticed. She's a little shy, so I need you to read her books and do some shouting out for her!
Talk about buzz, whenever Ania Ahlborn puts out a new book, the bees starting going cray-cray. She has a legion of followers for a damn good reason. Best part is, you can find her books in just about any bookstore (if they still exist by you).
K.S. Merbeth is a writing road warrior. At least her books make you feel like you're living in the barren, ugly world of Mad Max. I devoured Bite and Raid and I'm ready for more!
Rounding out our top ten list in no order whatsoever is Kritin Dearborn. Man do I dig her books…and her killer bats tattoo! I still plan to copy it some day. Everything she's written has been aces. Discover her for yourself.

On Dracula's Castle and Pet Sematary
What's shakin' Hellions? Remember the old Marvel Two-In-One comics where The Thing was paired each month with a new superhero? Well, I may not have scrapped against the Yancy Street Gang, but I can present a horror two-in-one.
First up on Monster Men, author J.H. Moncrieff takes us on a tour of Dracula's Castle and the Haunted Forest of Romania. I am green with envy. Or is it pea soup?
Next, the Final Guys travel up to Maine to see if we can reunite with our beloved pets of the past. Does the new Pet Sematary rise above the original? Church still smells bad.
Book Recommendation : RETURN TO DYATLOV PASS by J.H. Moncrieff
If you're looking for one hell of a read that is grounded in a real life mystery, J.H. Moncrieff's lates, RETURN TO DYATLOV PASS is a can't miss. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek so I could provide a blurb. It's a creepy tale filled with enough facts to make you wonder as an icy finger trails down your spine. I highly suggest you also read up on the real Dyatlov Pass incident, then go watch the horror movie, The Devil's Pass. Fully immerse yourself in one of the strangest mysteries of the 20th century.
In 1959, nine Russian students set off on a skiing expedition in the Ural Mountains. Their mutilated bodies were discovered weeks later. Their bizarre and unexplained deaths are one of the most enduring true mysteries of our time.
Nearly sixty years later, podcast host Nat McPherson ventures into the same mountains with her team, determined to finally solve the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass incident. Her plans are thwarted on the first night, when two trackers from her group are brutally slaughtered.
The team's guide, a superstitious man from a neighboring village, blames the killings on yetis, but no one believes him. As members of Nat's team die one by one, she must figure out if there's a murderer in their midst—or something even worse—before history repeats itself and her group becomes another casualty of the infamous Dead Mountain.
Available in ebook and trade paperback.

A Dinosaur Adventure : MONSTERS IN THE CLOUDS by Russell James
I have a special treat this week. Russell James is one of the best horror writers around, and he's joined the Severed Press family, penning some incredible adventure novels. His latest, MONSTERS IN THE CLOUDS, is chock full o' dinosaur madness. Russell explains why we can't get enough dinosaur fiction. Take it away buddy!
Dinosaurs. Who doesn't love them?
It seems that every kid goes through a dinosaur phase. Not singing along with Barney, that purple monstrosity, but a fascination with the actual creatures that ruled the Earth a few hundred million years ago.
My obsession started when I was about eight years old. (I'll let you know when it ends.) I drained the library of dinosaur books. I had the coolest 3D Viewmaster reels of dinosaurs locked in mortal combat. I watched the original King Kong movie a hundred times and always rooted for the T-Rex to beat the ape. A high point of that time was when my parents took me in to the American Museum of Natural History to see ACTUAL fossils. Coolest. Thing. Ever.
So after my novel Cavern of the Damned released, I needed a new adventure for the main character, Grant Coleman. Why not let him do what I'd always wanted to do, see real life dinosaurs? So I put him on a plane and sent him to Brazil, a beautiful country I'd visited twice.
Grant gets to encounter an Ankylosaurus, a C list dino compared to the stars of Jurassic Park. I always loved this creature. Broad and squat, it had armor like an Abrams battle tank across its back and head. But that passive defense wasn't enough, so it had a big bony club at the end of its tail. So while a predator futilely chomped at its back, it could knock the assailant unconscious with its tail. It was an herbivore, which isn't that scary, so I switched it to carnivore and blamed evolution.
The isolated butte they explore also has pterosaurs, winged lizards with long, pointed heads. These were carnivores. A lot about this creature remains conjecture. Did it have feathers? Did it fly or glide? Did it walk or climb? I read all the research I could find and made them as terrifying as I could.
There are some other creatures they encounter, but I don't want to spoil any surprises by detailing them here. But they are all based on real animals, and that fact may be scarier than any fiction I've spun.
So if you're up for an adventure and a battle with untamed dinosaurs, Monsters in the Clouds will be just what you need. And it's safe for family reading, no language, no sex, and monster-movie-type violence. I just realized I think that people being eaten by dinosaurs constitutes "family reading." I may have issues.
Book blurb:
Paleontologist Grant Coleman and activist Janaina Silva are recruited by Thana Katsoros for a top secret expedition, one in search of a live Apatosaurus on a plateau deep in the Amazonian rain forest.
But their plane crashes short of their destination, and the entire group faces a terrifying fight for survival. This isolated area hosts unknown animals more fearsome than they'd expected, including giant ants and flesh-eating pterosaurs.
Even worse, Katsoros' agenda has more to it than meets the eye, and Grant soon fears that it doesn't include all of them getting back alive. Will any expedition members survive to be rescued, or will they be devoured by the creatures indigenous peoples call the monsters in the clouds?

Historically, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) treated patent applications in a confidential manner, where the content did not become public until the patent was issued or until it was referred to in an issued patent.
This all changed in November 2000 when the United States began to publish applications. This change was part of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), an agreement related to tariffs and trade that was signed into law by former President Bill Clinton in December 1994. As part of the law, the United States joined Europe and Japan, where patent applications are already regularly published. Applications are published electronically on the USPTO's website. This change is one the most significant changes to the US patent system. There are exclusions from the publication requirement, the most significant of which is for applicants who attest upon filing that they have not and will not file an application for the same invention in a foreign country or under a multilateral international agreement, that requires publication of applications 18 months after filing.
A problem that has occurred from this change is that many formulators do not realize that the "patent application" is not a "patent." Generally, by the time the application publishes, there has been no examination by the US patent office. Therefore, it is impossible to determine what, if anything, will issue from the application. Patent applications have a different numbering system than issued patents. Issued patents have eight digit numbers (i.e. 8,003,087) whereas patent applications have 11 digit numbers (i.e. 20110201836), the first four of which are the year of publication.
The important thing to remember is that applications are not the same as issued patents. Upon examination and a process called prosecution, the claims may be altered, rejected or allowed. The patent application puts on notice that the process has begun.

Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety
The Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety is chaired by Councilmember Charles Allen. The Committee oversees more than 30 agencies, boards, and commissions under a few broad topics: criminal justice and law enforcement; violence prevention and intervention; fire and emergency medical services; corrections; victims' rights; homeland security; forensic science; elections, and campaign finance; and juvenile justice. The Committee also serves as the Council's liaison to the District's federal justice system agencies. For a full list of agencies under the Committee's jurisdiction and the Committee's other members, visit the official landing page on the Council's website.
Press Contact: Erik Salmi - 202-724-8063 / [email protected]
To search for legislation pending before the Committee, click here.
Questions on how the committee process works? Here's a quick primer:
When a new bill or proposed resolution is introduced, it is referred to one of the Council's ten committees. If it relates to matters under the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety, that means it comes to us.
Once a bill or proposed resolution has been referred to the Committee, the next step is to schedule a public hearing. Witnesses providing testimony in support or opposition include community organizations, concerned residents, businesses, and government witnesses from relevant agencies. Archived hearings and roundtables can be viewed here. If you'd like to testify at an upcoming hearing, email the Committee at judiciary[at]dccouncil.us with your name, title, and organization (if applicable).
After receiving testimony, if the Committee Chair would like to move the bill forward, the staff prepares a Committee Report on the bill, resolves any legal or drafting issues, obtains a fiscal impact statement from the CFO and a legal sufficiency determination from the Council's General Counsel, and beginning soon, a Racial Equity Impact Assessment from the Council Office of Racial Equity, and schedules a Committee vote on the bill called a "markup."
If a majority of the Committee votes to approve the bill at the markup (with or without amendments), it is placed on the agenda of the Committee of the Whole (the big Committee where all bills go after markup) for one vote, and then on to two votes in successive Legislative Meetings before the full Council. Amendments can also be offered at the Committee of the Whole or either Legislative Meeting.
Following the Council's approval, the bill must go to the Mayor for her signature, and then on to Congress for either a 30-day or 60-day period of passive review, depending on the subject matter. Then, it's law!
Note: sometimes a bill will be "subject to appropriations," meaning all or part of the law needs funding to take effect (even though it's already technically law). The Council has the opportunity to then fund the bill in its next annual spring budget process.

Patricia Stamper commented 2020-06-17 09:42:42 -0400
My name is Patricia Stamper and I live in Ward 7 here in the Deanwood neighborhood. I worked the election polls at Deanwood Recreation Center on June 2, 2020. I am a friend, a wife and a mother to boys and was very agitated by what I saw first hand on June 2, 2020 at the Deanwood Recreation Center. I worked from approximately 10 hours walking up and down around the recreation center talking to residents making sure they were alright. Residents were dizzy, fatigued and seriously disappointed by the long lines. Residents expressed they were afraid for their safety because while they were in line they received "Emergency Text messages" stating it was a curfew of 7pm. However, this is a Primary Election. Why would it be curfew on a day that residents are exercising their constitutional right to vote? I had to reassure several residents that as long as they were voting that they would be excused for curfew. Seniors, children, families waited for over 4-5 hours in some instances. The line for drive up voting was just as long. The last person to enter to vote was at approximately 1:12am. I was exhausted but I felt that I did my part to ensure that my fellow Ward 7 residents were allowed to exercise their constitutional right to vote. May I recommend that the DC Council strongly consider providing more staff to work the polling sites during the General Election. As a DC resident I want to be able to exercise my right to vote and this is my desire for my fellow DC residents as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my public comment regarding the June 2, 2020 Primary Election.

Police union head suing Chief DeLeo
Karl Etters
Democrat staff writer
The president of the Big Bend police union is suing Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo over a disciplinary matter involving the accidental discharge of a firearm.
TPD Lt. Steve Slade, president of the Big Bend chapter of the Florida Police Benevolent Association, filed the lawsuit last week in Leon Circuit Court. The lawsuit says DeLeo moved to discipline Slade without notifying him in detail of the reasons why or the proposed punishment, required under statutes.
The lawsuit says TPD investigated Slade for the accidental discharge of his weapon, but it gives no details of the incident itself.
The law-enforcement officers' bill of rights, included in statutes, says officers must be notified of the disciplinary action sought against them and the reasoning behind it before it's carried out. The provision applies to discipline involving suspension, loss of pay, demotion or dismissal. Officers must be offered a chance to refute the investigation's findings.
A Nov. 5 memo from DeLeo to Slade notified the lieutenant that an internal investigation was complete and that he was found not in compliance with general orders involving weapons. He was found in compliance with a general order involving firearms qualifications.
The lawsuit says that because of the Nov. 5 notification, "one must conclude that his discipline consists of sanctions consisting of 'suspension with loss of pay, demotion or dismissal.' "
The lawsuit claims that on several occasions, both in person and via email, DeLeo ignored the statues.
"(DeLeo's) failure to provide prior written notice of the proposed discipline serves to deprive Lt. Slade of any meaningful opportunity to challenge the propriety of the proposed discipline," the lawsuit says.
The same day the lawsuit was filed, Circuit Judge Charles Dodson ordered DeLeo to show cause within 60 days why relief for Slade should not be granted.
Attempts to obtain a copy of the internal affairs investigation on Tuesday were unsuccessful.
