An acclaimed business leader and entrepreneur, Anthony von Mandl has made it his life's work to produce world-class wines in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. Born in Vancouver, Von Mandl created his first venture—a wine importing business—at age 22 before playing a pioneering role in establishing the Okanagan's wine industry in 1981 with his founding of Mission Hill Family Estate. The winery has grown to become one of the region's largest and best-known, most recently being named Canadian Winery of the Year in 2016 for the sixth time. Von Mandl was a recipient of the Order of British Columbia in 2006 and was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2016. Von Mandl owns Checkmate Artisanal Winery in Oliver.
Sweat equity, not such a pleasant expression but it means to improve the quality and appearance of ones home by personal effort. This past couple of weeks, if the amount of perspiration lost is really of importance, I have doubled the value of our yard. I started with the relatively easy jobs of pruning and removing all the dead growth from last years' shrubs and perennials. Next came a few days of weeding and general clean up, then came the nasty job that could be put of no longer… the garden pond.
Seventeen years ago our property was an old peach orchard, poorly kept trees that were truly past their best, two hundred of them in fact. Over the years that we owned the BelAirMotel, Dave had cut down about fifty of these old trees but we still had about one hundred and fifty left. Once the decision was made to subdivide the peach orchard from the rest of the property, a very long and expensive process, we had a backhoe come in and remove most of the trees. I wanted to keep some of them for our own pleasure but the majority were in very poor shape.
As the old trees were removed I replanted shade trees in some of the spaces, about fifty new trees over a space of three years. Seventeen years later these trees are wonderful and I love them, though Dave tells me they spoil his view of mount Baldy, (too bad, the trees stay). Over these same years the rest of the peach trees died off and had to be removed, now we have to buy peaches.
While the backhoe driver was working on tree removal I had him dig a pond. Visions of splashing water and glimpses of goldfish, surrounded by shady ferns seemed to me to be idyllic. The reality is a constant battle to remove leaves and branches that fall off the overhead willow and surrounding shrubs. The fish get eaten by some predator just as soon as I put them in but, in spring we enjoy the singing of the frogs that live there. On warm spring evenings the sound of the frogs makes me feel that we do indeed live in the heart of the country. I love my pond but every couple of years it needs a good clean-out.
Monday I decided it was the day. Dave changed the pump from splashing into the water to discharging it into the rest of the yard. When the water level was down to about eighteen inches, I bit the bullet and climbed in, YUK! I am not sure why this job is always assigned to me but Dave swiftly reminds me that it was my idea to have a pond, so I do the deed. Standing in the horrible, oozy bottom of the pond I scoop out all sorts of dead roots and other slimy nastiness and put them in a bucket. Dave empties the bucket into a wheelbarrow and returns it to me.
Over the space of a couple of hours we filled three big wheelbarrow loads of the gunk, which went onto the compost heap. While I was digging around in the murk I found several garden ornaments that had fallen in and loads of rocks that had tumbled in from the surrounding sides of the structure. A further hour with the pump and the pond was almost empty. I hacked back some of the water iris and rearranged the baskets of water lilies and Dave refilled the pond. After filtering through the pump all night the result was a lovely clear view of the baskets at the bottom on the pond, however, will not take long to get murky enough so they will not be seen.
I am tempted to buy more fish but I think that they would eat the frogspawn, so maybe we will just enjoy watching my fake mallard float around and the sound of the frogs instead. The act of clearing out the pond is truly a labour of love but it is so worth the effort to see the water sparkling and free of debris. After a hosing down of my shoes, socks garden gloves and my legs, it was into the shower to remove all traces of sweat equity. I may not have improved the value of my home but I have sure improved the feeling of a job well done and that is very satisfying.
Rd 9 at site of old Haynes Packinghouse. How many times have these culverts been "dug" up ?
Are you a "birder" ?
Photographer Edwin Dukes says " I could not find this species in the BIRD book.
To have cred, as they say on the street, is to have credibility, almost authority, certainly believability. How does one get some? Consistent behaviour brings credibility as it provides examples that give testimony. Those testimonials, over time, build personal character credit, just like a history of financial stewardship can build a financial credit line. If I have cred people will back me up, support me.
A credential is a recognition of having attained/learned an ability, usually confirmed with testing of some kind. Credentials bring the image of papers with signatures and maybe official stamps etc. Those papers are issued by the testing agent. Getting a credential can take a long time. Getting your papers, some call it, is often a rite of passage into a profession. The credential is proof that you belong there.
To be credible is to be many positive things. To be incredible… wait, isn't that supposed to be good too? If I say incapable that means not capable, but incredible means over the top, amazing, unbelievable and may not refer to credibility at all. Is the English language incredibly strange or what? I could be incredibly irresponsible. That does not sound good like Mr Incredible and the whole Incredible family.
I can gain credits by shopping at certain stores. Those, if I collect enough of them, give me credit toward future purchases in that store. Can I gain credit, become more credible from/with another person? If you feel that I am credible you might lend me your bicycle. If not, you probably wouldn't. Politicians have a big challenge with credibility. Their credibility seems to go up and down. Inconsistency equals low credibility.
To be discredited is to undo credibility, to be stricken from the rolls of the membership and to be denied privileges. It takes a long time to become creditable and even longer to regain credibility if lost. Being credible is to be trustworthy. If I have at some time been discredited, even if the accusation is not true, it can be very hard to receive the trust of others again. Well, I think you are credible. Just saying.
Many have dreamed of being part of a royal family. They imagine how fantastically great that would be. Now the talk has been about the line-up for the throne in England. The current queen, in spite of many challenges and not being faultless, has been a positive example of what a committed monarch should be like. Singing "God Save the Queen" may well have significant meaning. Although the media may convey a picture of delight for royalty, this sentiment isn't always the reality.
Harriett Buell was walking home from a Sunday morning church service one day when kings must have been mentioned. Thoughts about life in a royal family must have been running through her mind. What would that be like? Then she realized that she already was in an even better royal family. As part of the family of God she already was a child of the king! She was so taken by the thought that upon reaching home she wrote a poem that included these words.
My Father is rich in houses and lands, He holds the wealth of the world in His hands.
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold. His coffers are full – He has riches untold.
A tent or a cottage, why should I care? They're building a palace for me over there!
Though exiled from home, yet still I may sing: All glory to God, I'm a child of the King!
It's even brighter up ahead.

When the show about the exciting Skoda VISION 7S concept vehicle opened on Friday afternoon, people were invited to look around. Over three days, many people came to see the Skoda VISION 7S for the first time in Germany. The head of the DRIVE is Liane Scheinert. Volkswagen Group Forum: "The first time the VISION 7S was shown in Germany was a big hit here in Berlin. The interesting concept car brought many curious people to our representative group office. They wanted to see where Skoda would go in the next few years."
Two people representing the Skoda brand also talked to the guests. Anna Maria Mühe and Oliver Mommsen wanted to get close to the exciting concept vehicle. The Skoda VISION 7S is eye-catching: it has a new tech deck face with new T-illuminated graphics, which are an essential part of its design from the front. A flat roof is better for aerodynamics.
With the VISION 7S, Skoda also shows a more developed concept for the car's interior. With the right mix of haptic and virtual controls, it's possible to make a completely new, natural interface between humans and machines. A large amount of space is typical of a Skoda. The Skoda VISION 7S can fit up to seven people.

Facebook throttled my social media strategy. Now what?
Broadbent Institute / May 06, 2014
It recently came to light that Facebook's changes to its News Feed are drastically reducing the reach of organizational fan pages. In its quest to manage overwhelming volumes of content for users and to generate revenue from brands, things could get worse: one well publicized internal source said unpaid, or "organic," reach on Facebook could drop as low as 1% in the near future.
Non-profits and campaigns have spent years building up audiences on Facebook and many have seen some significant successes using the medium for growth and awareness building. Many social media managers have tracked a significant drop in engagement and reach metrics over the last few months, while others are using new strategies to maintain and even grow the impact of their Facebook promotions efforts. While the debate is far from settled what is clear is that last year's Facebook strategy is dead.
Should groups and campaigns "divest" from Facebook and grow other communities? Suck it up and spend more money on promoted posts? Or lean in with new creative strategies?
In this one-hour webinar, senior digital strategist and Broadbent Institute fellow Jason Mogus facilitated a conversation with three experts providing advice to organizations in charting a path through the new reality.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
Jason Mogus is a Broadbent Institute Leadership Fellow and the principal strategist at Communicopia and the founder of the Web of Change conference. He has led digital transformation projects for some of the world's most recognized social change brands including Human Rights Watch, NRDC, the City of Vancouver, the Elders, the UN Foundation, and the David Suzuki Foundation. Jason currently supports over 60 environmental and First Nations groups working to stop the expansion of Canada's tar sands.
Beth Becker brings 20+ years of communication and marketing background to politics where she has consulted for numerous House campaigns, non-profits and unions. From trainings about digital strategy for the New Organizing Institute, clients and conferences like PA Progressive Summit and Netroots Nation, to managing a variety of pages and Facebook groups for causes and organizations she works with, Beth puts her knowledge to work on a daily basis. She is also a contributing blogger at epolitics.com and an avid activist.
Drew Bernard is the founder and CEO of ActionSprout.com, a Facebook app that empowers non-profits and political campaigns to engage supporters beyond like, share and comment. Drew co-founded ActionSprout after recognizing that a number of API changes Facebook was rolling out to better support app developers working with big brands could be leveraged by non-profits to build real, productive relationships with supporters on Facebook and off.
Drew has been helping organizations build productive relationships with supporters online since 2001. From 2001 to 2009 he worked at Groundwire.org where he helped create the strategy program and Groundwire Innovation Lab. Drew is a rabid supporter of entrepreneurship in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors and is active angel investor in Northwest US. He serves on the board of GetLittleBird.com and lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife and two kids.
Nadege Vince is the digital strategy coordinator at the David Suzuki Foundation, which runs one of Canada's largest environmentally-focused Facebook communities with over 300,000 people. A skilled communications designer with a post-secondary background in design and web development, Nadege has a keen interest in translating environmental research and policy issues into engaging content and visuals that reaches more widespread audiences.

This literature exhibits that studying is a potential mechanism to procure the required point of knowledge that brokers are assumed to own in a rational expectancies equilibrium and therefore there's a transparent hyperlink among rational expectancies conception and the two idea of studying. This truth can be emphasised between others via Friedman (1975), Pesaran (1987) and DeCanio (1979).

Q: How to track the current execution of my applications in Apache Spark I have an Apache Spark service instance on IBM cloud(light plan). After I submit a Spark job I want to see its progress, it would be perfect to see it the Spark way - get the Spark progress UI with number of partitions and everything. I would also like to get a connection to the history server.
I saw that I can run ./spark-submit.sh ... --status <app id> but I would like to get something more informative.
I saw the comment

You can track the current execution of your running application and see the details of previously run jobs on the Spark job history UI by clicking Job History on the Analytics for Apache Spark service console.

here, but fail to understand where exactly I get this console/history thing.
As a side note, is there any detailed technical documentation of this service, e.g. number of concurrent jobs which can run, technology stack etc..?

A: As per spark Documentation:
Every SparkContext launches a web UI, by default on port 4040, that displays useful information about the application. This includes:
A list of scheduler stages and tasks
A summary of RDD sizes and memory usage
Environmental information.
Information about the running executors
You can access this interface by simply opening http://{driver-node}:4040 in a web browser. If multiple SparkContexts are running on the same host, they will bind to successive ports beginning with 4040 (4041, 4042, etc).
Bottom Line : http://{driver-node}:4040 (replace driver-node with the node where spark job invoked) and you should be good to go

Conditional Turn Based (CTB) è un sistema di combattimento utilizzato principalmente nei Giochi di ruolo giapponesi (JRPG). Con questo sistema ogni personaggio ha una serie di azioni che può eseguire durante il suo turno. L'ordine dei turni dei diversi personaggi (alleati o nemici) è deciso automaticamente in base alle caratteristiche dei suddetti personaggi coinvolti nella battaglia (ad esempio la velocità o una particolare abilità).
La durata del turno ha un tempo virtualmente infinito: è il giocatore a decidere quando concluderlo. Finché non sceglie e conferma l'azione che il personaggio deve eseguire, quest'ultimo rimane in attesa, così come il nemico o i nemici. Il CTB è quindi, per sua natura, adatto ad un gioco più ragionato e meno frenetico anche se non necessariamente lento.

È quasi l'opposto del ATB (Active Time Battle), in cui le azioni non avvengono in turni nettamente separati, hanno un tempo di scelta finito e possono quindi sovrapporsi.

Uno dei giochi più famosi che usa il CTB come sistema di combattimento è Final Fantasy X

Essentially created by the motion picture industry, Studio City was officially "born" in 1928 when construction was completed on the 200-acre Mack Sennett Studios and filming began on silent movie classics such as "The Keystone Cops". Sennett Studios would eventually become the famous Republic Pictures Studio in 1935 and is now home to CBS Studio Center. It wasn't unusual to see big-named movie stars such as Errol Flynn, Bette Davis, and Roy Rogers walking along the streets of Studio City!
Throughout the years, Studio City has continued to be the center for TV and movie productions. Some very popular TV series have been produced at the CBS studios, including "Evening Shade", "Newhart", and "Thirtysomething" and feature films including "Dr. Doolite", "The Addams Family", and "Father of the Bride." Visitors to Studio City can enjoy shopping on Ventura Boulevard, a visit to the CBS Studio Center to see a TV show taping, or a day of hiking in Coldwater Canyon Park.


I think I need a cardiologist!
That Mac & Cheese was crazy. Don't get me wrong it was good, just not worth all of the cheese, calories & cost. I think I like mine with a sharper flavor. Maybe just Sharp cheddar, Velveeta & a little half & half.
On the paint front, we picked a different color that worked great. Pooh's Favorite Things (from Behr). Will post as soon as I bring the camera to the new house.
Happy birthday Deirdre & happy anniversary Tom & Denise!
How many people can I fool into thinking I'm in labor today? Apparently several. We did start to paint the baby's room yesterday. Starting with 2 small walls & a quart (because I am smart & know I never get the color right the first time) We started with Behr paint Pooh color-Blue Balloon. Too dark, It would feel like a cave, so next quart will be Pooh's Thoughtful spot-i will post pictures if it's right.
OK-Tony & I are trying to learn not to watch the food network-especially late at night. I can not tell you how many runs we have made for pie, cookies, chicken, etc. at 2am. So last night-Throwdown with Bobby Flay was doing Mac & Cheese (my favorite) I am now making the the most expensive mac & cheese I think possible-why? because Oprah said it was the best in the country-I trust her opinion on mac & cheese. Here is the recipe from food network, if anyone wants to try.
Add the Velveeta, butter and 2 cups of the half-and-half to the large bowl of eggs. Add the warm macaroni tossing until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the remaining half-and-half, 3 cups of the sharp yellow Cheddar, the remaining grated cheeses, and salt and pepper, tossing until completely combined in the large bowl.


When Steve first approached me about being sponsored by CorkSport, he smartly sent along some swag from a recent surf competition near his home on the south shore of Long Island NY. Being an ex-surfer myself, it certainly didn't hurt his chances, but buttering me up with free stuff wasn't what convinced me that Steve would be excellent at representing CorkSport in the community. It was his passion for Mazda performance and for CorkSport, his unrelenting positive attitude, and his enthusiasm for being a part of the Mazda community that made him an ideal candidate to wear the CorkSport badge.
Steve Kritzberg (Kritz on the forums) is a true Mazda enthusiast if you've ever met one. This may be a more recent obsession for him, but he has immersed himself in the forums and become an active member in his local Nator New York group and the surrounding chapters in NJ and PA, hosting install days, BBQ's, and helping to plan events for the local chapter.
His 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 is his first Mazda, but he has always had a love for cars. Modding took a backseat to raising kids and his work as a local 1 plumber for a while, but his wife of 18 years has been very understanding about his recent affliction of the "mod-syndrome" and all things car related. Now a weekend autocrosser and recent winner of Best Mazdaspeed at the annual Torontomazda3 Forum Meeting of the Mazdas, Steve's work is really starting to pay-off.
Mazdas handle really well right off the lot, but Steve has spared no expense on perfecting the handling and suspension on his speed 3 adding a CorkSport Coilover Suspension Kit with Camber Plates, CorkSport Front Sway Bar with CorkSport End Links, CorkSport Rear Sway Bar, CorkSport Rear Chassis Brace Set, CorkSport Mid-Chassis Brace, Volk TE37 wheels with Dunlop Star Specs 245/45/17's, and a CorkSport Short Shift Plate and Shifter Bushings.
But just because he has spent a lot of time perfecting the suspension doesn't mean he forgot the go-fast parts with the addition of a CorkSport Downpipe, CorkSport Racepipe, CorkSport Large Core FMIC, Turbosmart BPV, and a custom tune by none other than Rob Finkle (da man) 50% E85.
If you've ever been to Storm's OCC All Mazda Meet, you may have met Steve there and if you went last year, you may remember a little prank dreamed up by the local Nator crew with the help of CorkSport as Steve was given the CorkSport Senior Citizen award which he now proudly displays on his fireplace. He may be a little older than some of the crew he hangs with on the weekends, but "old man" Kritzberg is still young at heart!
What's next on the list for Steve's build? Well, big turbo of course!
Awesome Car. Awesome dude. Congrats Steve.
Its a beauty. You've done pretty much all my future mods. I want CS Coils but i really want bags. Im not Racecar. I'm more of appearance with well performance.
Well played old man! Congrats!
sorry also how comes the gold wheels are 17's was there a reason you come away from the standard 18's?
Sick speed buddy. That thing would get a ton of looks out here.
How did you do the front grill? I'd definitely want to do that with my speed.
Dave I went with 17's for reduced weight on the suspension (unsprung weight) Also wanted a bit more sidewall with 245/45-17's for some wheel protection for the pot hole strewn NYC streets. The drag slicks are 26×9.5-16 Hoosier Quick Time Pro's on Mazda RX-7 FD wheels that were powder coated. Thanks for the all the kudos folks!
Any idea on where to find the grill insert? I've check Nextmod's site and haven't found it. Thanks for the first reply, btw.

Kassam on Newsnight: Dead Burglar's Kids Better Off Without Their Father
Oliver JJ Lane
Speaking out on the controversy surrounding floral tributes to a slain burglar killed during a home invasion in London, Breitbart Editor Raheem Kassam said it was possible the children of the dead criminal may be better off without him, and that police enforcing the right for his family to create a shrine was "the enforcement of immorality".
Going against writer and broadcaster Anne Atkins on the BBC's flagship current affairs programme Thursday evening as the impromptu shrine to burglar Henry Vincent was destroyed for the third time by supporters of homeowner Richard Osborn-Brook, Kassam and Atkins discussed the rights and wrongs of the flower laying and responses to it.
Asked whether it was a legitimate desire for the children of the deceased criminal to want to make a public display at the site of their father's final break-in, Kassam responded that while it is understandable, in a common society individuals can also take into account the needs of others — including the intended victim, pensioner Richard Osborn-Brook who killed Vincent in defence of his home and disabled wife.
Gun Free UK: 78-Yr-Old Man Arrested After Stabbing Burglar to Death with Screwdriver https://t.co/obVVsy0DQ8
— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) April 4, 2018
Blasting police for protecting the shrine built by relatives of Vincent, who have even demanded an apology from the elderly Osborn-Brook, Kassam said: "I may be controversial in saying this, but the bereavement of a father who may have taught their children criminality is something we need to assess as well. Perhaps these children may be better off not having a criminal father around, teaching them the tools of the trade."
Struggling to be heard over the cries of protest from fellow guest Atkins and before the segment was abruptly ended, Kassam continued: "for the police to be enforcing that these people can lay flowers out there, I think it is the policing of immorality here, the enforcement of immorality, the enforcement of depravity and the enforcement of criminality."
Earlier in the programme, Kassam had said the burglar had infringed upon the rights of others by stealing, and remarked: "what this comes down to is a basic concept of morality.
"This is not a road traffic accident, this is not a terrorist attack, we are not remembering the life of someone who was an innocent bystander. If the family want to grieve the loss of their loved one, they should do it elsewhere, where it can't be seen as a taunt or even an intimidation tactic against the would-have-been victims of this midnight home invasion."

Annual ETS Report Launch: "Carbon Fatcats" feast on ballooning EU emissions rights
by Laurence Watson | Oct 15, 2014 | Carbon Pricing
Despite radical changes introduced to the European carbon market in 2013, our new report today reveals that hundreds of millions of excess carbon allowances continue to be issued, with a disproportionate share of these being awarded for free to Europe's "Carbon Fatcat" companies.
In order for companies to emit greenhouse gases they need a Government issued carbon allowance but far too many are being created. Sandbag analysis, which forms part of a wider review of the emissions trading policy reveals the excess allowances available reached 2.1 billon at the end of 2013 and is growing by as much as 13 tonnes a second. Just 10 companies emitting one tenth of Europe's greenhouse gases account for over a fifth of the massive surplus that has accumulated. Sandbag calls these companies Europe's "Carbon Fatcats."
ArcelorMittal continues to top Sandbag's Carbon Fatcat leader board with a massive 93 million tonne surplus, almost twice its annual emissions. Last year, because allocations of free allowances are now based on carbon efficiency benchmarks the giant steel company faced a shortfall in allowances compared to emissions. This means they can no longer rely on getting a free pass under the ETS going forward. Sandbag estimates it will nonetheless take a further 10 years before Arcelor's surplus will have been whittled away and it will finally be forced to pay for some of its emissions.
On the other hand, Europe's giant cement companies are revealed as still benefiting from growing surpluses. All 5 cement companies in the top 10 saw their surpluses grow last year and this trend looks set to continue until at least 2021.
Sandbag's report finds that changes introduced to date, though welcome, are not sufficient to address the ETS's significant problems, the most obvious of which is the build up of a massive excess allowances that is suppressing prices and dissuading companies from investing in clean technology. In new modelling, also released today, Sandbag suggests that the already massive 2bn surplus is likely to balloon to more than twice that size by 2020 unless solutions are introduced quickly.
The report is issued ahead of the European Council meeting on October 23-25th at which it is hoped new ambitious climate targets for 2030 will be agreed. These are essential as Europe's emissions are falling and targets set to date are not keeping pace. Sandbag is calling on the new team of policymakers in Brussels to get control of the surplus that is wreaking havoc on Europe's carbon market. Today it laid down a challenge to the new Energy and Climate Commissioner, Miguel Cañete: either pass strong new laws within the next 12 months or scrap the failed trading policy and do something else instead.
The reports's lead author, Damien Morris, commenting on the findings, said:
"New legislation to reform the ETS is already on the table, but it remains weak and there is a lot of unjustified resistance from industry. Our research finds that, like the Carbon Fatcats, most manufacturing sectors face no net costs under the scheme until 2020, and in fact have been subsidised to the tune of €4.3 billion across the period. This is not how you cost effectively get to a low carbon economy."
Baroness Worthington, Founder and Director of Sandbag, who will officially launch the report from the Green Growth Summit in Brussels on Wednesday, added:
"We've been saying for years fix the emissions trading scheme and we know changes can be made because they have been in the past. But sadly the incentives for investment in green growth are still not there. It has now got to the stage where the ETS is so broken we are recommending ditching it unless problems are sorted out with new laws within the next 12 months."
For more information please contact: Damien Morris damien@sandbag.org.uk or Alex Luta alex@sandbag.org.uk (+44) 02071 486377
Our report is available here.
The analysis underpinning the estimated 13 tonnes per second increase, leading to a doubling of the current surplus by 2020 is outlined in a supporting paper available here.
The Carbon Fatcats featured in the report are the top 10 companies in the EU ETS ranked in terms of cumulative EUA surpluses, as of 2013 (excluding offsets).
Table Key [1] Adjusted for waste gas transfers.
[2] Without past offset use.
[3] Using a carbon price of EUR 5.65 (average 2014 December futures).
[4] Using annual average of front December futures for EUAs, and the spread between EUAs and CERs
[5] Assuming offset entitlement completely exhausted.
Sandbag's annual ETS report will be officially launched by Baroness Worthington, speaking at the 3rd Green Growth Summit in Brussels on Wednesday October 15th 2014.
Also launched today is our new cover page to the Sandbag website which features a counter showing the surplus of allowances increasing second by second. We calculate it has been increasing at a rate of roughly 13 tonnes a second since January of this year. Visit it at www.sandbag.org.uk/carbonpricing/data/surplus_counter

Viewpoint: Courts remain open and justice is being served in St. Joseph County
Steven L. Hostetler
No one ever expected a situation such as this. But looking back it seems in some respects that the judicial system has been planning for the COVID-19 pandemic for the past five years. With the assistance and cooperation of state and local officials, the courts of St. Joseph County have adopted technology at an unprecedented pace. That technology is now allowing the courts to continue their work even though human contact must be limited.
Four of the five county courthouses remain open to the public. While judicial functions continue at the County Services Building on Lincoln Way West in Mishawaka, that facility is closed to the public. The judicial officers presiding in Mishawaka continue to carry out their duties, and any necessary in-person hearings will be held in South Bend. The St. Joseph Probate Court and Juvenile Justice Center on South Michigan Street in South Bend continue to function and are open to the public until noon each day. The three courthouse facilities on South Main Street in South Bend remain open during their usual business hours.
Much of the courts' business is being conducted electronically. The electronic case filing system remains in operation and is working smoothly. Telephones are being answered and most hearings are being conducted by telephone or video conference. Virtually all court staff have laptop computers and other technology that enable them to work remotely when they are not at one of the courthouses. So whether working remotely or in the courthouses, judicial officers and court staffs are able to stay in regular communication.
While most court filings are now done electronically, people who are not represented by lawyers are still allowed to file papers, including requests for orders for protection, through the mail and in person at the courthouses in South Bend. Orders for protection can also be filed online at https://public.courts.in.gov/porefsp#/. Information about court cases can be obtained online at mycase.in.gov. Additional court information is available at the website https://www.in.gov/judiciary/2806.htm.
This is not to suggest that service has not been interrupted. Even with the use of updated technology and the extraordinary efforts of the courts' amazing employees and the clerk's dedicated staff, the emergency is creating unusual circumstances. Trials and evidentiary hearings, for example, particularly jury trials, present real challenges, and probably will for some time. While court filings are being processed pretty much in the usual manner, some matters that require face-to-face interactions are being postponed. Evictions, foreclosures and collection proceedings must be delayed. The courts appreciate that such delays may be frustrating. But the public can be confident that all cases will be administered as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Rest assured that the judicial officers of St. Joseph County remain at their posts. But they could not effectively continue to conduct important business if it were not for the tremendous cooperation and assistance provided by the lawyers in our community and the St. Joseph County Bar Association. We are also grateful to the St. Joseph County prosecutor and his team, the clerk and her staff, the sheriff and all law enforcement and corrections officers in our community, first responders, the St. Joseph County commissioners, the County Council and all city, county and township elected and appointed officials and employees (particularly the county's IT department), as well as our county's public defenders, probation officers and community corrections officials
To list everyone who has pulled together during this difficult time would require several pages in this edition of The Tribune. Indeed, that list would have to include the reporters and staff at The Tribune itself, as well as all of the other media outlets who continue to work so diligently under extremely difficult conditions to keep the public informed.
Like everyone else, the judges and magistrates of the St. Joseph Circuit Court, the St. Joseph Superior Court and the St. Joseph Probate Court look forward to the day when things return to normal. But until then, the courts remain open and justice is being served in St. Joseph County.

If you think your breasts could use a little boost, science and nature have a solution for you: non-invasive breast augmentation through phytoestrogens, as suggested by pueraria mirifica before and after results.
Everyone likes to feel desirable, and one of the things that can make you look and feel like it is bigger breasts. Knowing that your breasts look good can instantly make you feel so much better about yourself. Now, the question is, how exactly can Pueraria Mirifica help you with that?
Keep in mind that estrogen is the hormone that is responsible for the body's female characteristics including breast development. This is why breast enhancement supplements today are starting to make use of this herb as the primary ingredient.

Just What Is Pueraria Mirifica?
Pueraria Mirifica, also known as Kwao Krua Kao, is a plant native to Southeast Asia. It's particularly abundant in Thailand and Myanmar. In fact, Thai women have been using it for over a century as a natural remedy to support their youthfulness and vitality.
There is a good reason why many locals swear by this traditional remedy, even though conventional scientific evidence is limited. In a nutshell, Pueraria Mirifica has astounding potency because it's rich in phytoestrogens.
Until Special Offer Expires
What are Phytoestrogens?
Phytoestrogens are natural compounds that have a similar action to the body's female hormones estrogens. The main difference is that they are plant-based, hence the name (phyto- means plant in Greek). Phytoestrogens can trigger estrogen-like effects because they can bind to the human body's estrogen receptors.
For example, Pueraria mirifica contains chromenes, a particular type of phytoestrogens that can match actual estrogen in potency. This is why this herb is considered a natural estrogen replacement solution. As such, it's typically used by women who are dealing with menopausal symptoms.
Keep in mind that estrogen is the hormone that's also responsible for the body's female characteristics, including breast development. This is why breast enhancement supplements today are starting to include Pueraria Mirifica into their blends as their primary ingredient.
What to Expect When Using P. Mirifica For Breast Enhancement
To get an idea on how potent this herb can be as a supplement for hormone replacement, it helps to take a look at its active components:
Chromenes. As mentioned, this class of phytoestrogens is comparable in potency to actual estrogen. Studies also reported that chromenes also have significant anti-inflammatory properties that could have applications in the development of anti-inflammatory medication.
Isoflavones. These are another type of phytochemicals with potent estrogenic properties. Isoflavones can also help in the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart issues.
Coumestrol. A plant compound from the coumestans group that has been found to interact with estrogen receptors. Some studies claim its estrogenic power is 30 to 100 higher than that of isoflavones.
P. mirifica also contains deoxymiroestrol, isomiroestrol, and miroestrol, which also mimic the action of estrogen.
This chemical profile only highlights how effective this herb can be when used regularly as part of an estrogen-boosting therapy.
A 2016 study also reported this plant may have significant breast-enhancing potential. In the research, breast cell proliferation was observed in the subjects after just four weeks of application.
Science has already established the effects of estrogen and therefore, estrogen-like effects have to be expected when taking Pueraria mirifica.
When Can You Expect Results?
Keep in mind that most studies have yet to be replicated in humans, and the available evidence is mostly from lab or animal researches. However, most users of Pueraria mirifica supplements claim that they were able to notice results (like firmer breasts) in just a few week. The studies we mentioned above also seem to indicate that Pueraria mirifica before and after results should be noticeable after about 4 weeks of supplementation.
Nonetheless, it's important to be patient when going the natural route.
More Things to Expect: Other Health Benefits
For women, menopause is a natural part of aging. This phase is marked by a significant decline in estrogen production. Menopause symptoms manifest in various uncomfortable ways such as hot flashes and night sweats. Pueraria mirifica has been shown to provide relief from these bothersome issues thanks to its phytoestrogenic action.
Another study published in 2007 showed that the herb can help to alleviate vaginal dryness and pain during sex, both of which stem from low estrogen levels.
Menopause is also associated with osteoporosis (bone weakness). This is because estrogen has an important role in regulating the process of replacing old bone cells with new ones. By supplementing with Kwao Krua Kao, you can support your estrogen levels and keep your bones strong through the decades.
This is backed by a 2016 animal study in which Pueraria mirifica was administered to postmenopausal monkeys for a period of 16 weeks. The results were remarkable: bone loss was significantly slowed. Of course, further studies are needed to confirm the details of this effect in humans.
Because estrogen is known to regulate cholesterol levels, Pueraria mirifica can also impact heart health. In fact, according to a study published in 2008, this herb can significantly reduce the levels of LDL (low-density lipoproteins) in the bloodstream. LDL is known as the "bad cholesterol" that causes arterial plaque and increases the risk of heart disease.
To prevent negative side effects, it's recommended to stick to the guidelines set by a 2007 study on Pueraria mirifica. The recommended dosage is 1.6 mg per kg of body weight. So for a 120-lb woman, the ideal dosage would be around 87 mg. Other sources set an even lower threshold, about 25 to 50 mg just to be safe.This dosage is apllicable only to oral forms of Pueraria Mirifica. Topical products can be applied freely without side effects in the vast majority of cases.

US strike kills approximately 30 al-Shabaab fighters in Somalia
By Michael Callahan, CNN
CNNJanuary 22, 2023
The United States carried out a strike in Somalia that killed approximately 30 al-Shabaab fighters, US Africa Command said in a statement Saturday.
US forces on Friday "conducted a collective self-defense strike" in support of Somalia National Army forces who were "engaged in heavy fighting following a complex, extended, intense attack by more than 100 al-Shabaab fighters," the statement said, referring to the terror group linked to al Qaeda.
There were no US military present on the ground when the airstrike occurred, a US defense official said.
The strike occurred about 260 kilometers northeast of the Somalian capital of Mogadishu, near Galcad. US Africa Command assessed that no civilians were injured or killed due to the remote location.
The US has provided ongoing support to the Somali government since President Joe Biden approved a Pentagon request to redeploy US troops to the area in an attempt to counter the terrorist group in May 2022. The approval to send fewer than 500 troops was a reversal of former President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw all US troops from the country in 2020.
"Somalia remains central to stability and security in all of East Africa. U.S. Africa Command's forces will continue training, advising, and equipping partner forces to help give them the tools they need to defeat al-Shabaab, the largest and most deadly al-Qaeda network in the world," the US military said in Saturday's statement.
In recent months, US forces have conducted numerous strikes in the region that have resulted in dozens of al-Shabaab casualties.
In October, a US strike killed two al-Shabaab members about 218 kilometers north-northwest of Mogadishu. A subsequent November strike killed 17 al-Shabaab fighters approximately 285 kilometers northeast of Mogadishu. And in late December, another US strike killed six al-Shabaab militants near the city of Cadale, which is about 150 miles northeast of the capital.
CNN's Sydney Kashiwagi contributed to this report.

Resisting the urge to mimic Western artforms at the dawn of independence, Professor Uche Okeke founded a movement in African art that will live long after his recent passing. Peter Ezeh celebrates this unique pioneer.
Uche Okeke hit the Nigerian visual-art scene like a tornado, but throughout a prolific career that spanned nearly 60 years, his only known victim was the complacency inherent in Western-style education. The innovative professor of Fine Art reconstructed more than he destroyed.
It all began in 1958 when anti-colonial campaigns by nationalists were at their peak. Before young Uche Okeke and his far-sighted colleagues got in on the act, the more familiar names in the campaigns were those of political or labour leaders.
Okeke's group of nine students chose to fight with the unlikeliest of weapons: art. Their logic was that part of what Western-style education had done was to socialise Africans into rejection of their indigenous intellectual products, including those in the arts, as inferior or even undesirable.
African arts were not taught in Western-style schools in Nigeria up until then. The Fighting Nine kicked against that. If the colonial curriculum would not recognise African genres, the activists could at least start raising awareness about them, promoting them by producing them and spreading enlightenment about them.
Like every truly innovative movement, the campaign was misunderstood. In the history of Nigerian modern art, Okeke and his small group of pathfinders are referred to as the Zaria Rebels although the group, officially, was the Zaria Art Society. "Rebel" in their case came to acquire a nuance of praise, though. Everyone in that group was in unchartered territory, individually defining the visual art space of the post-contact era, which is to say, the period after the African encounter with European modernity.
They include, apart from Okeke, such names as Yusuf Grillo, Bruce Onobrakpeya, and Demas Nwoko. They helped define the visual art landscape of the newly independent nation-state.
It all started two years before Nigeria's independence in 1960. It was Okeke's first week at what was then the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology, now Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. As Nigeria got ready for independence from Britain, the young firebrands felt that it was not only actors in government offices that should change. Change in the knowledge driving governance was just as important.

LG is continuing to consider new ways to implement a folding design into a smartphone based on a recently published patent pointing to a spring-based folding mechanism spotted by Android Headlines at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Specifically, the patent indicates that the use of torsion springs within its hinge can alleviate tension and separation problems commonly exposed when a flexible panel is placed on a rigid backing and then folded.
The springs seem to reduce the chances that the display will separate from the backing at the edges and are part of the hinge, giving the display more rigidity. When folded that has the apparent benefit of reducing the gap often seen near the hinged portion of modern iterations of the technology.
In effect, it seems the use of the U-shaped mechanism adds pressure to the folded display where the display's pressure would ordinarily be most prominent at the edges. That keeps the leading edges in place even as the screen is folded in half. When the panel is opened, those slip to the side along a preset route to lay flat within the gadget's housing. Aesthetically, the design is similar in style to Samsung's Galaxy Fold but with a drastically reduced gap and screens could easily be placed either externally or internally.
LG has mostly managed to keep its official plans for a folding smartphone well under wraps. Rumors have circulated indicating that it may follow in Samsung's footsteps to share its technology with other manufacturers in a bid to drive folding phones into the mainstream more quickly. It's also expected to brandish a brand new market designation but that is effectively the extent of viable leaks and rumors.
Officially, LG has stated that its first folding device would launch under the V-series branding along the lines of its LG V40 ThinQ or 5G enabled LG V50 ThinQ — representing the company's more experimental line-up. That won't necessarily be in the form of an LG V60 ThinQ either, based on recently spotted trademark filings.
The company could choose to designate one of its previous gadgets, either the LG V40 or V50, or a new standard bar-style smartphone with a new moniker meant to indicate a special, foldable edition of a standard handset. Regardless of which direction it goes, the device will undoubtedly bear a "V" designation of some kind and that actually makes a lot of sense, given the shape of the letter in question.
Will the sprung hinge mechanism make an appearance?
LG's latest patent may seem relatively straightforward as an easy-to-build solution to a problem that's holding the technology itself back in its initial steps toward the mainstream but there's no guarantee the company will actually use it.
Over the past several months, patents from LG have repeatedly surfaced pointing to a variety of uses for flexible OLED panels in a smartphone format. Those have ranged in configuration from single and double-folded gadgets to those that are rolled up entirely into either cylindrical or box-shaped tubes when not in use.
While this newer design may seem far more straightforward since it is a more simplified half-fold, the tech giant has also incorporated other hinge designs that are equally feasible over that same period. So LG may ultimately go with any one of those or some combination of those instead.
