By Tom Duggan on January 29, 2021 Comments Off on Illegal Alien Anyelo Aybar-Franco (25), from Lawrence Indicted for Fentanyl Possession
BOSTON – A Dominican national previously living in Lawrence was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury in connection with fentanyl possession.
Anyelo Aybar-Franco, 25, was indicted on one count of possession with intent to distribute more than 40 grams of fentanyl. Aybar-Franco was previously charged by criminal complaint.
According to the charging documents, on Oct. 20, 2020 in Lawrence, Aybar-Franco possessed with intent to distribute over 65 grams of fentanyl.
Aybar-Franco faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years and up to 40 years in prison, a minimum of four years and up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of up to $5 million. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling and Brian D. Boyle, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Boston Field Division made the announcement today. Valuable assistance was provided by the Essex County Sheriff's Department, Homeland Security Investigations in Boston and the Lawrence Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Dell'Anno of Lelling's Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

On behalf of Michael Golden Law Corporation posted in Car Accidents on Monday, April 28, 2014.
General Motors Canada is in the crosshairs of a lawsuit from the parents of an Ontario man who lost his life while behind the wheel of a 2006 Saturn Ion. The parents of the accident victim are taking part in a national class action suit over malfunctioning parts and systems. They contend that their son's airbag did not inflate on impact, leading to his death in a head-on collision in 2012. GM recently ordered worldwide recalls regarding faulty ignition switches and power steering defects in several models, including the Ion.
The family said that they were notified of the automaker's recall action 18 months after their 22-year-old son was killed in a crash possibly related to the defective parts. The lawsuit, which was not recognized as a class action as of April, has yet to face a challenge to its claims in court. However, the suit is only one of many filed worldwide after the recall announcement and was the third in Canada alone. Some 235,000 of the recall's 1.6 million vehicles were sold in Canada.
The massive recall also prompted the U.S. Congress to get involved, ordering an investigation of how General Motors handled reports that certain parts and systems in its vehicles were reported to be failing. In March, suits were filed in Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan by one firm that accused the automaker of misleading customers about what safety problems GM knew about and when the company knew it.
A car accident due to failing safety equipment may result in a lawsuit to compensate families and loved ones of the victims for their losses. Proving liability in an auto accident is an important step to resolving these legal claims.

It is said that "the customer is king". The future of the company and its market position depend primarily on the ability to effectively attract and retain consumers. Without customers - especially those who are willing to buy products from a certain brand every now and then and to use certain services - no company can survive on the market. As a result, loyalty programs created for the most loyal customers are becoming increasingly popular today.
Why is it recommended to have loyalty programs in e-commerce?
Loyalty programs are usually understood as targeted marketing measures aimed at establishing links with key corporate clients and maintaining friendly relations. Loyalty programs are a great way to increase the sales of a particular product or service, while advertising and promotion costs are relatively lower than traditional marketing campaigns. Loyalty systems can come in different forms. The most popular of these is to reward the issue of larger sums of money for purchases with special points, which will later be exchanged for prizes in the appropriate number. A consumer who feels valued in their buying decisions will be more likely to shop in the store. This also applies to e-commerce sales.
The aim of edrone's loyalty program is primarily to provide customers with maximum satisfaction with the quality of services provided. For regular customers also a special discount program and actions for individual products and services were prepared. The loyalty program of edrone is based mainly on the points collection and so-called loyalty cards. Also noteworthy is a convenient feature that allows quick and efficient analysis of the data credited to the card. Loyalty programs can be modified depending on the situation.

Q: MAX DATE with intermediate table I can't get the right results. I have 4 tables:
table: Aluno
id_aluno    nome
1           Bruno
2           Carlos

table: Serie
id_serie    id_aluno    descricao
1           1           Tipo A
2           1           Tipo B
3           2           Tipo A

table: Treino
id_treino   id_serie    data
1           1           2015-12-10
2           2           2015-12-12
3           3           2015-12-10

table: Avaliacao
id_avaliacao   id_aluno   data_avaliacao
1              1          2015-12-07
2              1          2015-12-01
3              2          2015-12-05
4              2          2015-12-04

I want the following results:
nome     descricao    data          data_avaliacao
Bruno    TIPO B       2015-12-12    2015-12-07
Carlos   TIPO A       2015-12-10    2015-12-05

The problem is that the GROUP BY clause should have column "id_aluno" but it's not foreign key of the table which has the date. There is a intermediate table between them (serie).
And I have this other table (avaliacao) which I also want the max DATE, but when I join them all, I got more than one result by aluno.
Query I tried:
SELECT a.nome, s.descricao, t.data, aa.data_avaliacao FROM Aluno a JOIN Serie s ON s.id_aluno = a.id_aluno JOIN Treino t ON t.id_serie = s.id_serie JOIN Avaliacao aa ON aa.id_aluno = a.id_aluno WHERE t.data = SELECT MAX(t1.data) FROM Aluno a1 JOIN Serie s1 ON s1.id_aluno = a1.id_aluno JOIN Treino t1 ON t1.id_serie = s1.id_serie WHERE s1.id_aluno = s.id_aluno )

A: If I give you this, can you work out the other part?
SELECT a.nome
     , s.descricao
     , t.data
     , v.data_avaliacao
  FROM aluno a
  JOIN serie s
    ON s.id_aluno = a.id_aluno
  JOIN treino t
    ON t.id_serie = s.id_serie
  JOIN
     ( SELECT s.id_aluno
            , MAX(t.data) max_data
         FROM serie s
         JOIN treino t
           ON t.id_serie = s.id_serie
        GROUP
           BY id_aluno
     ) x
    ON x.id_aluno = s.id_aluno
   AND x.max_data = t.data
  JOIN avaliacao v
    ON v.id_aluno = a.id_aluno;

A: working with your own query check out the last part, adding only the group by
SELECT a.nome, s.descricao, t.data, aa.data_avaliacao FROM Aluno a
JOIN Serie s ON s.id_aluno = a.id_aluno
JOIN Treino t ON t.id_serie = s.id_serie
JOIN Avaliacao aa ON aa.id_aluno = a.id_aluno

WHERE t.data =

(SELECT MAX(t1.data)
FROM Aluno a1
JOIN Serie s1 ON s1.id_aluno = a1.id_aluno
JOIN Treino t1 ON t1.id_serie = s1.id_serie
WHERE s1.id_aluno = s.id_aluno ) group by a.nome

you can test it out in sqlfiddle

A: I think that the code of davejal works only if coincides that in the data the MAX date of the table treino correspond to MAX date of table avaliacao for every aluno, when don´t be like that the results won´t be the expected. Using the idea of

Strawberry

, finally would be
SELECT a.nome
     , s.descricao
     , t.data
     , v.data_avaliacao
  FROM aluno a
  JOIN serie s
    ON s.id_aluno = a.id_aluno
  JOIN treino t
    ON t.id_serie = s.id_serie
  JOIN
     ( SELECT s.id_aluno
            , MAX(t.data) max_data
         FROM serie s
         JOIN treino t
           ON t.id_serie = s.id_serie
        GROUP
           BY id_aluno
     ) x
    ON x.id_aluno = s.id_aluno
   AND x.max_data = t.data
JOIN avaliacao v
        ON s.id_aluno = v.id_aluno
WHERE v.data_avaliacao IN
   ( SELECT MAX(v.data_avaliacao) max_data1
                FROM avaliacao v
        GROUP
           BY id_aluno
     )

, hope this help

The River Barrow is considered one of Ireland's most scenic and picturesque waterways. A voyage down the Barrow is always a pleasurable experience and a must for any inland boat owner.
The River Barrow is a major element of Ireland's inland waterway network. It links between the port of Waterford and the Grand Canal, which itself reaches west to the Shannon and east to Dublin.
- The tidal River Barrow from Waterford Harbour to St. Mullins, Co. Carlow.
- The non-tidal and navigable waterway from St. Mullins to Athy, Co. Kildare, a stretch of 68 kilometres and featuring 23 locks.
- After Athy, the Barrow Line of the Grand Canal continues northwards for 45 kilometres with 9 locks. This reaches the mainline of the Grand Canal at Lowtown, Co. Kildare.
The locks have all been carefully restored and some of the associated stone work is over 200 years old. Further work has been carried out to clear channels, improve bridges, and the construction of landing stages below the locks are a welcome addition.
The river was not always accessible. In 1703 the Irish House of Commons put forward a motion to make the River Barrow navigable. Following extensive delays, work finally began in 1761, and by 1800 several lateral canals had been developed.
However, lack of consistent depth in the river caused problems, especially in summer, and commercial traffic was particularly affected by frequent setbacks. In 1935 the Upper Barrow drainage scheme resulted in the lateral canals being affected by silting and finally commercial trade ended in 1959.
Today the river is given entirely over to recreational use. For more information about navigating the Barrow today, see the Cruising page.

Shoppers Still Prefer In-Store Retail
What is a retail store? It may come as a surprise, but to most consumers, a 'store' still means a brick-and-mortar, physical shop. Even through 2020 and 2021 — with multiple lockdowns and ongoing COVID restrictions — in the minds of most consumers, the definition of what a store is has not evolved to include online retail.
According to a recent Shopify survey, 77% of Australians still associate shopping with a physical store. So, while there's undoubtedly been an online shopping boom over the past 18 months, the survey results suggest that for many shoppers, this is largely due to necessity and has not made a lasting impact on their preferences or perceptions.
That's not to say a brand's digital presence isn't important. 83% of survey respondents said that a brand should have an online store. But it appears that for many shoppers, digital stores are used predominantly in the discovery and consideration phases (47% said they discover brands online through searches and websites), with bricks-and-mortar still coming up trumps when it comes to making a purchase. Indeed, 18% of respondents said they were wary of making a purchase when they couldn't physically touch the object with 12% still concerned about giving credit card details over the internet.
So, what's the best strategy for retail stores and brands trying to navigate the current environment? The advice (even from Shopify's APAC managing director Shaun Broughton) is to adopt an omnichannel approach with your marketing. The shopping experience for most people involves digital and physical touchpoints and to neglect either, or think of them as separate, can be detrimental to your bottom line.
What the Shopify survey tells us loud and clear is that while digital channels are increasingly becoming a part of how we search, discover and communicate, we ultimately crave physical experiences. It's because of this that, when it comes to buying physical goods, the bricks-and-mortar shopping experience is always going to be more appealing for most people. People trust what they can see, feel and touch.
While physical retail has undeniably had a rough time of it over the past months, we have come through it. And, perhaps now more than ever, it's plain to see that the immersive brand experience that can only be found by walking into a store and interacting with staff and products is, for the foreseeable future, always going to be the best way to keep your brand in the front of your customer's mind.

The Willys 77 was an American car first sold in 1933 by Willys-Overland from Toledo. It was a successor to the Willys Whippet.

In the same year, Willys-Overland went into receivership but the 77 was still released on the market.

The car had a four-cylinder engine in the front with a , which produced  . The wheelbase was only   and the car was sold at a price below $500, making it the cheapest American car of its era. The car was also highly economical, delivering 25 miles per gallon.

The 77 had a top speed of 65 mph, which made it a good base for equipping a racing car. A tuned-up Willys 77 achieved an average speed of 65.2 mph in the 24-hour race on the Muroc Dry Lake.

In the years leading up to the United States participation in World War II the model range was continued under the names Willys 37, Willys 38, Willys 48, Willys Speedway and Willys Americar.

When civilian auto production was discontinued in 1942, the car disappeared from the market.

Racing
The 1933-36 Willys coupés and pickups were very popular gassers. The best-known would be the 1933 Model 77.    Only 12,800 were sold in 1933, 13,234 in 1934, 10,644 in 1935 (including a new panel delivery), and 30,825 the company's final year, making it a puzzle why it became popular:  it was neither cheap nor plentiful.

Daniel Peter Gohl, 96, Clear Lake
WJON Staff
Daniel Peter Gohl passed away peacefully at age 96 at his beloved farm in Clear Lake surrounded by family on July 12, 2020. Known as a 'gentleman farmer' and shying from the limelight, he lived a humble and natural life of the land.
Due to health concerns surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Interment, with military honors, for the immediate family will be in the Gohl Crypt at Assumption Cemetery, St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Daniel Peter Gohl was born on March 26, 1924 in St. Cloud, Minnesota to Daniel Herbert and Marie Elizabeth (Kolling) Gohl. He attended Cathedral High School and with his spirit of patriotism finished his senior year requirements early in 1942 to enlist in the United States Army. Serving in World War II he fought in the Philippines and took part in the occupation of Japan.
While on weekend leave, Danny and a platoon buddy Ed Foy visited the Foy family in Chicago where Danny met Ed's sister and his wife to be. Danny and Catherine 'Kay' (Foy) were united in marriage in Chicago on October 11, 1947. After the war, Danny took advantage of his military experience and worked as draftsman for the Chicago Transit Authority. After three years in Chicago they moved back to Danny's home town and raised 3 sons on the family farm in Clear Lake. In addition to farming, Danny also worked for the Great Northern Railway, as a guard at the St. Cloud Reformatory, and at St. Cloud Plumbing and Heating.
Later in life Danny joined with his son Rob and Sy Majerus to create GM Well Drilling in 1982 in St. Joseph. After wife Kay's passing in 1988 he married Marjorie 'Marge' Kilian Reninger on June 22, 1996. After retiring from GM Drilling, Danny continued his dedication to taking care of the family farm. Danny enjoyed hosting family get-togethers at the farm over the years. His heart and soul remain there.
Preceded in death by wives Kay and Marge, son Robert, brother Roger, grandchild Stephanie, and parents Daniel and Marie. Survived by sons Daniel Francis (Renee), Kevin, grandchildren Ryan (Erin) Gohl, Tara (Travis) Suckstorf, Lucas (Hansa) Gohl, and Danielle (Robert) Olson, sister Ardell Plantenberg, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Casablanca Blues Just another WordPress site

Casablanca Movie
Casablanca, 70 Years On
Close your eyes and you can picture it:
A cocktail flask shaking Martinis at the bar, a roulette wheel spinning fast, the last chips tossed down onto red and black numbers on the baize, laughter, conversation, plenty of cigar smoke and, at the piano, Sam gently playing As Time Goes By.
It could only be Rick's Café, and it could only be Casablanca.
As timeless as any creation to have ever come out of Tinseltown, and as celebrated as any movie born there, Casablanca is often regarded by screen aficionados as the most perfect film of all time.
And, this month it's celebrating a big birthday – its 70th.
A love story set against a backdrop of war, it's a film packed to the gunnels with intrigue, danger, and rip-roaring suspense. Seven decades later it may be famous for being famous, but it's a crème de la crème classic, albeit an unlikely one.
When it was first conceived hopes weren't particularly high for Casablanca. The writers and cast may have been A-listers, yet when it was slated for initial release, in early 1943, the movie was just another to be churned out by the colossus of a production line at MGM.
Following the success of To The Shores of Tripoli earlier in the year, Hollywood's studio honchos were ravenous for another script with a North African theme. They dusted down existing theatre play called Everyone Comes to Rick's and, as they say in Hollywood, the rest is history.
Renamed after the buzzing Art Deco jewel of the French Protectorate, Casablanca was rebranded with a wartime storyline. Set in the days just before the Allied landings, when Morocco was struggling under the grip of Vichy France, Casablanca was a place of danger and of sanctuary. It was from there that European refugees sought safe passage and freedom to the New World – at least in the movie, it was.
For anyone out there who's never seen the film (as if there's anyone on the planet who hasn't), Casablanca tells the tale of washed-up American nightclub owner, Rick Blaine, portrayed by a sullen and rather lugubrious Humphrey Bogart. The proprietor of an animated speakeasy, in which all manner of low and high-life characters while away their time, Bogart is entrusted with two letters of transit – travel documents worth their weight in gold.
Throw into the fray Rick's ex-love, played by Hollywood pin-up Ingrid Bergman, a couple of murders, some Nazis, and a ton of conspiracy, and you get a brew that defied even the harshest critics. It was as though MGM had hit the jackpot, not least of all because the subject matter was right on cue for the moment.
With the Allied invasion of North Africa – 'Operation Torch' – headline news, Casablanca was a name already on everyone's lips. Taking shrewd advantage of the coincidence, MGM's moguls brought forward the initial release date to late November '42, thereby maximizing their publicity. And little could they have known that their luck was about to double.
For, in January 1943, just as Casablanca was about to go out on general release, Winston Churchill, President Roosevelt, and General Charles de Gaulle, all met in Casablanca's excusive district of Anfa for a major Allied summit, the most important of the entire War.
And, for all the good luck with their timing, Casablanca paid extraordinary dividends – financially of course, but also in the massive pro-Allied propaganda it provided.
And then there were the accolades.
Casablanca got a clean run at the Oscars, taking sixteen in all, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Musical Score. Bogart and Bergman were fêted internationally, and found themselves household names the world over.
As they did so, the most memorable lines of the movie, like 'Play it, Sam,' slipped into the annals of Hollywood history, and into American culture as well.
The strange thing about Casablanca is that on the surface it has very little to do with the real Casablanca at all. Shot almost entirely on Warner's lot in Burbank, California, the sets were largely pieced together from existing leftover stock, having been given an exotic North African flavour, peppered with extras in local decked out in costume.
There's a rumour – one of so many surrounding the film – that Ronald Regan was first considered for Bogart's role, and that Rick's Café was based on the salon of the old Hotel Minzah in Tangier. Although, more certain is the fact that during filming none of the actors or crew ever set foot on Moroccan soil.
And, it being wartime, security restrictions only hampered matters further. For example, the producers were unable to get clearance to shoot at a real airport, and were forced to film the finale on Warner's back lot as well. The lack of space and the tight budget called for ingenious thinking. Instead of using a full-scale aircraft, set designers resorted to a smaller cardboard cutout, attended by a retinue of dwarfs. Seen from a distance, it looks like a normal-size aeroplane being readied for the flight.
When, as a Casablanca enthusiast myself, I moved to the city almost a decade ago, I started digging into the folklore and the reality of the movie I hold so dear. It didn't take long before I realised that the Bogart and Bergman characters, not to mention Rick's Café Americain, were figments of Hollywood's communal imagination. After all, Casablanca is essentially a French city, constructed in the first half of the last century as an expression of French colonial might.
But, as the years have drifted by, I have come to see that in Casablanca nothing is quite what it seems. Slip beneath the European façades and there's a labyrinth of intrigue and mystery, a sense that the city I have come to know and love is in a bizarre way straight out of movie fiction. There's irony in the fact that it's taken Casablanca decades – seven to be exact – to get the well-heeled, worn-in feel of the city depicted by Hollywood.
Explore the backstreets of old Casablanca, the byways that lie off Boulevard Mohammed V, the main drag, and you slip into a realm that's gritty, mysterious, and is alive with all manner of enticing characters. Squint a little into the syrupy winter light, and you find yourself sucked back in time to a Casablanca right off the Warner back lot.
There's nothing quite so enthusing or magical as the underbelly of a multilayered metropolis, and few cities I know can compare with Casablanca. Take a right turn behind the old stock exchange, a grand old Art Deco marvel which rises up like a greying iceberg, and you find yourself at the magnificent Cinema Rialto. With the sweeping curved lines of the roaring 'twenties, it's a little shabby, but more atmospheric than almost any other building I know. The highlight of my life was to stumble inside and find Casablanca playing there.
A stone's throw away is the glorious Petit Poucet, a restaurant once patronised by Edith Piaf, Albert Camus and Antoine de St. Exupéry of the Little Prince fame. Faded grandeur is the order of the day, and style that's not so much as impressive from the outside in, as much as from the inside out. I love to while away the hours there, with an old friend or two, over meals that never quite end.
And, I love to stroll through the twisting, turning streets of Derb Omar, imagining warehouses packed to the rafters with contraband and stowaways; or to think of the rowdy gambling dens and bars secreted away perhaps in the shadows behind the warehouses and the stores.
The roulette wheels may not be turning any longer, that is if they ever were, but there are bars aplenty, the kind that I'm sure would have been patronised by Bogart if he had ever really come to town.
Go down a little further and you get to the old residential quarter of Mers Sultan. All the buildings are pure Art Deco, each one a marvel in its own right, and each a little more ramshackle than the last.
Near to the Café Champs-Élysées, itself laid out in the form an ocean liner, is Bar Atomic, one of Casablanca's most immortal and underrated haunts. Dating back to the 'forties, when anything 'atomic' was cutting edge and cool, it gives grit-filled realism a whole new meaning.
Studio shots of Hollywood icons cover the walls, and sawdust hides the granite on the floor. There are original wooden refrigerators humming behind the bar, vintage advertisements for Ricard and Campari, and a lineup of characters right out of Rick's, although a little the worse for wear.
Last week when I popped in with a friend, the barman saw me motion to the framed picture of Humphrey Bogart, cigarette smoldering in his hand. He tapped a knuckle to the counter.
'He came here once or twice.'
'When was that?' I asked.
'All those years ago, when they were filming Casablanca in town.'
'But it was shot in America,' I said. 'I know all about it because I'm the movie's biggest fan.'
The barman stroked his hands together. He smiled.
'Don't believe the rumours,' he replied.

Special Torah Scroll Written for Messiah Completed [PHOTOS]
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz | Mar 22, 2016 | Jewish World
Rabbi Yosef Berger looks on as his Torah for the Messiah is completed. (Photo: David's Tomb/Rabbi Yosef Berger)
Last week, Rabbi Yosef Berger, one of the rabbis in charge of King David's Tomb in Jerusalem's Old City, took an enormous step towards making his year-long dream a reality.
Rabbi Berger's dream was to write a Torah scroll to present to the Messiah upon his arrival. Since David's Tomb, the burial place of the Messiah's ancestor, is located on Mount Zion, Rabbi Berger is uniquely positioned to personally present the Torah to the Messiah.
The Rabbi believes that by writing a Torah scroll which includes all of Israel, and keeping that scroll on Mount Zion, it will fulfill the requirements to usher in the Messiah.
The completed Torah scroll is carried from the Western Wall to David's Tomb (Photo: David's Tomb/Rabbi Yosef Berger)
Rabbi Berger explained to Breaking Israel News how he learned this from Yalkut Shimoni, a collection of teachings believed to have been arranged in the 13th century. He quoted the text:
"'Rabbi Shimon Ben Monsia said, 'No signs of redemption will be shown to Israel until they seek these three things – the kingdom of heaven , the dynasty of King David, and the building of the Temple.' Writing a scroll housed on Mount Zion, where King David is interred, and adjacent to the Temple Mount, will accomplish all three goals in one action," the rabbi explained.
In December, the first letters of the scroll were inscribed by Rabbi David Hai Abuhatzeira, the grandson of the prominent Moroccan Sephardic mystic Rabbi Israel Abuhatzeira, known as the Baba Sali. At the time, Rabbi Abuhatseira urgently instructed the organizers of the project, "Write the Sefer Torah as fast as possible, you don't have much time!…I hope you have a chance [to finish]!"
It appears that Rabbi Berger finished this stage of the project in time. Last Thursday, the ceremony to consecrate the new Torah scroll began at the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem and moved to the adjacent Ohel Yitzchak Synagogue, where the final letters were written by a collection of honored rabbis.

The ceremony was on the seventh day of the Hebrew month Adar, which is both the birth date and the Yahrtzeit (anniversary of the death) of Moses. Apropos to the momentous occasion, Rabbi Berger announced to the crowd, "Moses was truth, and his Torah was truth, and this Torah will never change."
He then quoted from the book of Hosea
"For the Bnei Yisrael shall sit solitary many days without king and without prince and without sacrifice and without pillar and without ephod or teraphim; afterward shall Bnei Yisrael return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and shall come trembling unto the LORD and to His goodness in the end of days." (Hosea 3:4-5)
The assembled celebrants then paraded around the walls of Jerusalem which were lit up especially to honor the occasion.
Written here in Hebrew is "King David". The walls of the Old City of Jerusalem were lit up in honor of the occasion, welcoming the special Torah for the Messiah commissioned by Rabbi Yosef Berger. (Photo: David's Tomb/Rabbi Yosef Berger)
Thousands of celebrants accompanied the Torah scroll to its new home at David's Tomb on Mount Zion.
Thousands of people of all ages accompany the completed Torah scroll as it made its way from the Western Wall to King David's Tomb (Photo: David's Tomb/Rabbi Yosef Berger)
The momentous occasion was attended by several of Israel's leading rabbis: Rabbi Yitzchak Shtern, Rabbi Shalom Berger (the present Mishkoltz Rebbe), Rabbi Reuven Elbaz (a leading Israeli Sephardic rabbi and a member of the The Moetzet Chachmei HaTorah), Rabbi Dov Lior (the Chief Rabbi of Kiryat Arba), Rabbi Shalom Ber Sorotzkin (head of the Ateret Shlomo Yeshiva), among many other honored rabbis and participants.
The ceremony was immediately followed by a global recitation of the Shema prayer. The organizers of the event were hoping that having all of Israel join together in reading the entire Shema would save Israel from the terrifying wave of terror that has plagued the Jewish state since October.
The shofar (ram's horn) is blown to consecrate the occasion as a special Torah scroll for the Messiah is completed. (Photo: David's Tomb/Rabbi Yosef Berger)
Rabbi Berger has also initiated a new, unusual project: a book of Psalms, which were written by King David, hand-written on parchment. When completed, the scroll will be on display in a special case at David's Tomb where the public can openly read from it. Reading David's prayers at his burial site will be especially fitting when the Messiah, David's descendent, finally arrives.

UC Transfer Applications See Near 20% increase in Skyline College Applicants
by fitzpatrickc on February 26, 2016 in Uncategorized
Following a similar trend last fall, the Transfer Center saw a huge increase in requests for application support to UC and CSU, and an increase in the number of UC Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG) applicants. Overall there were 18% more UC applicants in the Fall 2016 application cycle compared to one year prior. Previous years have shown small gains, but this has been the most significant jump in recent years. This year, the UC reported 223 applicants compared to 190 last year. This year, the most popular campus remained UC Davis with 178 applicants, followed by 149 UC Berkeley applicants and 107 UC Santa Cruz applicants. CSU Data will not be available for quite some time, but strong gains are also expected.
Many thanks to the Counseling Division and the faculty and staff who volunteered to help students through the application process last Fall. Also, many thanks to all the faculty and staff who have worked to promote transfer on Campus and work to get more students through and out during this phase of the process. The College's strong Transfer Initiative and Transfer Culture are clearly seeing results.

Expensive Textbooks Lead to Inequality of Access
Skyline College Library would like to again encourage faculty to please consider using alternatives to costly print textbooks. An article just published February 25 in The Chronicle of Higher Education, emphasized that: "The real issue of textbook costs is one of inequality of access, especially for first-year, first-generation students. What's at stake is student success — retention and how long students take to graduate… Textbook costs cause students to occasionally or frequently take fewer courses (35 percent of students), to drop or withdraw from courses (24 percent), and to earn either poor or failing grades (26 percent).
There are more and more free online textbooks being offered through open educational resource initiatives listed on our Library's "Textbook Databases" menu and librarians may be able to add specific e-books to our library database system to provide free access to students. Additionally, the library can provide direct links to any ebook or article currently in our databases so that faculty can use these resources as free texts or readings. If you have any questions about textbook alternatives, please contact Eric Brenner, Skyline College librarian, at brenner@smccd.edu or x4177.
For faculty who still use print textbooks, please request a library desk copy or "exam copy" from the publisher and provide it to the Library so that students can have the option of accessing a reserve copy of the textbook in the Library.
Great News!: The Library recently received $10,000 from Associated Students to buy a limited number of textbooks that will be part of a new ASSC Library Textbook Collection. We have and will be prioritizing funds based on (1) high cost textbooks, (2) high usage textbooks, and (3) high number of course sections.
The library has a form you can use to put materials on reserve. If you have any questions about placing materials on reserve, about requesting free books from publishers, or about the new ASSC Library Textbook Collection, please contact the library at x4311.

A Taste of Black Paris
On February 11, 2016, in Professor Jones' ASTEP English 100 and 110 classes, Ricki Stevenson, founder, guide and CEO of Black Paris Tours, facilitated a wonderful presentation about her world famous Black Paris Tours. Ricki Stevenson is a former TV news anchor/reporter and talk show host, who holds a Master's Degree in History with an emphasis on African and African American History from Stanford University.
Ricki Stevenson's discussion focused on the vibrantly elaborate, global histories and experiences of men and women of African descent, who have made a significant impact on the lives of Americans and Parisians alike. Ms. Stevenson's special guest, her daughter, Dede Stevenson-Bailey engaged the ASTEP students by speaking in both French and English, while enthralling them with amazing stories about the legacies of African Americans such as James Baldwin, Frederick Douglass, Langston Hughes, Bessie Coleman, Ida B Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois and Josephine Baker, to name a few, who have either visited, performed, stayed for extended periods of time, and/or lived in Paris, France contributing to the social, political, artistic, and cultural development of the western world.
Ms. Stevenson's presentation was deliberately designed to expose the ASTEP students to the importance of knowing and understanding their history, discussing the significance of education and traveling, while at the same time demonstrating how many of the historic individuals from her Black Paris Tours are reflected in Professor Jones' English courses and the influence these African Americans currently have on society today. Ricki Stevenson is also a native of Oakland, California.

Cash for Cheerios
Middle College at Skyline College students presented a check for $580 to the Martin Elementary School at the February 11, 2016, South San Francisco Unified School District school board meeting. The check represented 5,800 redeemable box top coupons they donated that are worth 10¢ each. The school will submit the box tops to General Mills to earn the $580 in cash. The students clipped the coupons when repackaging mislabeled cereal boxes of Cheerios as a community service project at the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. The community service project is an authentic learning experience that lets the students realize that they can make a real-life difference in their community through meaningful and vital community service while gaining greater understanding issues of hunger and poverty.

Video: PRIMAL FEAR Performs In Bochum, Germany
Fan-filmed video footage of German power metallers PRIMAL FEAR performing on October 23 at Matrix in Bochum, Germany can be seen below.
As previously reported, PRIMAL FEAR will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year with a special concert in the band's home country. Vocalist Ralf Scheepers told Metal Master Kingdom before a recent gig in Toronto: "There are now negotiations for one big [anniversary] show. I don't wanna tell so much, because it's gotta be a surprise. There's still one year to plan and to schedule things."
Scheepers also said that PRIMAL FEAR has not yet begun work on material for the follow-up to this year's "Rulebreaker" album, "Not so far," he said. "It's a little bit too early. Maybe we'll find some time after the tour to collect ideas then and, basically, next year is gonna be a writing year, so we still have enough time for the next one. But be sure that it's gonna be an extremely heavy metal album."
PRIMAL FEAR is also planning to release new concert DVD and CD in 2017. The band's producer and bassist Mat Sinner told Roppongi Rocks: "We've recorded a concert for a DVD and live CD, and this will be the next project. When we stop touring, we will mix it and this will be released next year. Last time we recorded a live album in America, so this time we said we'll do it in Europe."
PRIMAL FEAR last year parted ways with Brazilian drummer Aquiles Priester (HANGAR, ANGRA) and replaced him with Francesco Jovino (U.D.O.). In addition, founding PRIMAL FEAR guitarist Tom Naumann — who had been touring with the group for a couple of years — had officially rejoined the band as a full member.

Stephen Daniel Double (born 19 December 1966) is a British Conservative Party politician. He has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for St Austell and Newquay since 2015. He has been serving as a junior Lord Commissioner of the Treasury since November 28, 2022.

Double served on Cornwall Council and as a town councillor and mayor of St Austell before his selection as Conservative candidate for St Austell and Newquay in the general election.

Early life and career
Double was born on 19 December 1966 in St Austell. The son of the evangelist Don Double, he was educated at Poltair School in the town. He worked in Cornwall across a variety of sectors, including working for a bank, local church and charity. From May 2001, he was Director of Bay Direct Media Ltd, a direct marketing company. In May 2011, he additionally became Director of Phoenix Corporate Ltd, a company selling branded merchandise; he remains as Director and primary shareholder of both companies since becoming an MP.

At its establishment in 2009, Double was one of four candidates elected onto St Austell Town Council for the Poltair Ward; he was re-elected in 2013 and served as deputy mayor of the town. He declined to stand at the following election in 2017, having since become an MP. Double was also elected as the Conservative Party candidate onto the new unitary Cornwall Council in 2009 for the St Austell Poltair division, but the seat was subsequently won by the Liberal Democrats candidate at the following election in 2013. Double did not stand for re-election to Cornwall Council in 2013.

Parliamentary career
Double was first elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for St Austell and Newquay at the 2015 general election, when he defeated the incumbent Liberal Democrat Steve Gilbert. He was re-elected at the 2017 general election.

In Parliament, Double has joined twelve All Party Parliamentary Groups. He chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group Ocean Conservation, working with Cornish charity Surfers Against Sewage. The group has campaigned against marine litter and seeks to protect the coastline. He is also co-chair of the Regional Airports APPG which works to lobby government on behalf of small regional airports, such as Cornwall Airport Newquay.

Double is also vice-chair of the Parliamentary Beer Group which works to support pubs and breweries. In this role, he has been able to promote the work of St Austell Brewery, who operate from his constituency. He is also a member of the Ceramics All Party Parliamentary Group which represents the ceramics industry which includes China Clay. He also sits on the Parliamentary Space Committee where he has promoted Newquay as a frontrunner for the location of the UK's first spaceport. He is the vice-chair of the Parliamentary Group for Fatherhood.

Double has helped secure Government backing for a new link road between the A30 and St Austell. He has led several debates in Parliament on subjects ranging from school term time holiday rules to the cost of car insurance for young people.

Double supported Brexit in the 2016 EU membership referendum.

Double has served in Parliament as a Member of the Petitions Committee, the European Scrutiny Committee and the Transport Committee.

In September 2017, Double was one of five MPs who backed the Government Departments (Abolition) Bill, which would have resulted in the abolition of the Department for International Development – effectively ending the management of UK aid to foreign countries. He also backed a Bill calling for a new bank holiday to celebrate Brexit.

In December 2018, during the no-confidence vote against Theresa May as leader of the party, Double said he would vote against the then-Prime Minister.

In August 2019, Double was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Department of Health and Social Care.

In December 2019, Double was re-elected as Member of Parliament for St Austell & Newquay with an increased majority of 16,526. He received 31,273 votes – up by 6.5 percentage points since his previous election in 2017.

On 17 September 2021, Double was appointed an Assistant Government Whip in the second cabinet reshuffle of the second Johnson ministry.

In July 2022, he was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. He was sacked in September 2022 by new Prime Minister Liz Truss. He joined a number of colleagues in calling for Truss's resignation, after confusion over a vote on fracking.

On 28 October 2022, Double was made Government Whip to the Ministry of Defence by new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and King Charles III accordingly named him a junior Lord Commissioner of the Treasury by letters patent dated November 28, 2022.

Personal life
Double has been married to Anne Bird since 1986; they have two sons. Double employs his wife as a Senior Caseworker on a salary up to £30,000. He was listed in an article in The Daily Telegraph which criticised the practice of MPs employing family members, on the lines that it promotes nepotism. Although MPs who were first elected in 2017 have been banned from employing family members, the restriction is not retrospective – meaning that Double's employment of his wife is lawful.

In June 2016, Double admitted an extra-marital affair with a married 26-year-old aide. Double had reportedly kept this secret from his wife of 30 years. The BBC later reported that Double's constituency party deputy chairman had resigned, suggesting Double, who had claimed to promote family life, should do the same. They also examined the public's changing view of morality and quoted political historian Matt Cole who said that whilst the public was now more tolerant of infidelity, it did object to hypocrisy.

Double is an evangelical Christian.

In 2017, Proceedings B, in a new initiative, appointed a Preprint editor, Dr. Maurine Neiman from the University of Iowa. Along with her team of student editors, their role is to identify papers currently deposited on a preprint server, bioRxiv that would be suitable and within scope of the journal. Dr. Neiman has been inviting potential authors identified by this route to submit the research papers to Proceedings B. This initiative is starting to bear fruit, as the journal has just published its second paper solicited by our Preprint editor. We spoke to the authors (Chelsea Little and Professor Florian Altermatt) about their research and experience of publishing via the preprint route.

Isn't it funny how some of the best inspiration can come from the most peculiar places. You could be in the drive through or waiting in line at the market and all of a sudden that award winning "ah-ha" moment hits you like a 17′ U-Haul truck. You pick your self up off the ground and check the seat of your pants making sure they weren't soiled in the act of this spontaneous moment of genius. When Inspiration hits, it hits hard and its a beautiful thing.
As a Creative (Graphic Designer) I encounter this all the time. Often I'll be working on a project for a month, with days to go before deadline, working on little sleep because of a massive "designers block". Then all of a sudden Im sitting at Applebee's and theres my inspiration sitting there on the menu or advertisement block on the table. Haha. This is no joke, I cant tell you how many times Ive requested to take home a cup coaster, placemat or advertisement piece because I was inspired by it for my current projects.
It's not always a new idea that hits a home run worthy of Babe Ruth's applause. Sometimes, its an idea that has been present for some time, but has now been pumped up on inspirational steroids and holds that much more meaning to you.
Going back to the topic of the U-Haul truck in the first paragraph. A few months ago I rented a U-Haul truck to help in my moving back to Michigan. A few days before, I had posted a couple blog posts here about being present and in the moment. Half way home I look down to my instruments bezel on my dash and notice a sticker U-Haul had so kindly furnished in my truck saying "SLOW DOWN AND LIVE". WOAH… Totally sells my point right! Now I realize the actual intentions of this tag were to promote safe driving. But hey reality is in perception right, so the way I look at it is "slow down and appreciate life yo"! Take time to smell the roses as they say. What a beautiful saying "Slow down and live", don't be so quick to move to the next adventure of life that you forget to experience the adventure you have in front of you!
Be on the look-out for your next burst of spontaneous U-Haul Inspiration! You never know when and where it might show up.

Fallen Fate post first part of studio update, new album in the works
Posted in News with tags Darlington, Darlington F.C., Fallen Fate, Forum, Horror film, Into The Black, James Stephenson, Lee Skinner, Metal, Old Corpse Road, Vespa, York on 6th January 2014 by Nico Solheim-Davidson, the North Sea Poet
Fallen Fate have released a studio update, showing their recent time in the studio recording their next release Into The Black. The concept album will be released on 30th January. The band who recently came 4th place in Terrorizer Magazine's top unsigned bands of 2013 spent early last year in Stymphalian Productions in York with producer James Stephenson recording a couple of studio updates along the way so we could get a feel of what to expect from the band's second release and follow-up to 2011's The Virus Has Spread. The studio update video can be viewed below.
Vocalist Lee Skinner had this to say about Into the Black:
Based on a horror movie theme around a young girl called Vespa the concept of Into The Black plays a big part in how the album sounds and how it is visually portrayed through the artwork and upcoming videos. It contributed to the evolving sound of the band as we introduced more keyboards and experimental sounds into the mix, giving it a different dark feel and sound.
Supported by a release show in The Forum, Darlington, the album is set for release January 30th 2014.

Fallen Fate announce new album, titled Into The Black
Posted in News with tags Darlington, Fallen Fate, Forum, Into The Black, James Stephenson, January 2014, Vespa, York on 24th December 2013 by Nico Solheim-Davidson, the North Sea Poet
North eastern metal unit Fallen Fate have announced their upcoming full-length release, Into The Black. Following the release of 2011's The Virus Has Spread, with which the band stormed the UK, Fallen Fate have regrouped and are ready to unleash another lashing of metal onto the masses.
Recorded in part in Stymphalian Productions in York with producer James Stephenson and finished in vocalist Lee Skinner's home studio, Into the Black retains the Fallen Fate's signature punishing heaviness but it's also apparent that the band has moved on musically since The Virus Has Spread. Vocalist Lee Skinner comments:
Dark, Expressive and Heavy… The sound and feel of Fallen Fate has changed quite a bit since the release of The Virus Has Spread. The band has progressed and developed a more solid metal sound while maintaining a unique mix of speed and heaviness in the music.
Based on a horror movie theme around a young girl called Vespa, the concept of Into The Black plays a big part in how the album sounds and how it is visually portrayed through the artwork and upcoming videos. It contributed to the evolving sound of the band as we introduced more keyboards and experimental sounds into the mix, giving it a different dark feel and sound.
Vocalist Lee continues to say:
She [Vespa] chose a life without faith and over time became possessed by a demon. The demon slowly took over her body and ultimately lead her to kill herself and her family. The drive behind the concept is to empower the listener to decide whether she was possessed by the Devil, as she has no saviour in her life, or if she was possessed by God, punishing her for her lack of faith.
The artwork designed by both Photographer Ian Cameron and Skinner through his own Black Venom Designs compliments the album's running theme. Supported by a release show in The Forum, Darlington, the album is set for release 30th January 2014.

Greetings! I have attached a picture of "Oompa's Girl" at its very first launching. As you can see, the hull is a v-dory, but the cabin is a mismatch of your ideas plus some of my own. I recently got back from a long trip in Puget Sound and it performed WONDERFULLY!! Everyone comments on how comfortable and how stable it is to ride in. I have twin 50 HP Evinrude ETEC engines, and at 5500 RPM, it scoots along at 30 MPH (in very calm water) and cruises at 15-20 mph.
In regards to your request for pictures, here is a picture of the boat I completed year ago.


Lobelia is an easy to grow annual. Crystal Palace is one of the most popular blue lobelias; makes a beautiful display together with White Lady. Compact plants covered with tiny flowers all summer, usually grown in tubs, containers; popular as edging plant for beds and borders. Bush variety, height only 10-15 cm.
Lobelias are hardy little annual or perennial flowers that grow well in any region. Prized for usage as a blooming border for flower gardens, lobelias can stand up to the abuse that edging plants sometimes receive from foot traffic and passing animals. These little blooming plants will also attract hummingbirds and butterflies with their colorful flower show. Use this guide and get ready to plant and enjoy your own crop of beautiful lobelias.
These plants are not too picky about location and will grow equally well in full sun or partial shade. However, for best results, select a location that will be in full sun for at least 6 hours per day.
The seeds and subsequent roots are tiny and need a loose soil in which to grow. Amend soil with plenty of organic compost so it will be loose and drain well. Leaf mold, well-rotted cow manure and compost are all good organic matter to work into the soil prior to planting.
Lobelia flower seeds are extremely tiny, looking more like dust particles rather than flower seeds,and the flowers themselves are small too. Don't be intimidated by their tiny size, they are hardy and easy to grow when given the right start in life. Since the seeds are so tiny and must have light to germinate, it's best to start them indoors in a seed tray.
Prepare a seed tray or other shallow container by filling it with a good quality potting soil mixture. Sprinkle the seeds over the top of the potting soil and gently water with warm. Use a spray bottle with a fine mist setting to water the seeds.
Do not cover seeds with more potting soil, they must have light. Place seeds tray in a warm, bright location, but not in direct sunlight. Keep seeds and potting soil moist with frequent, light mistings of warm water.
Seedlings will need a week of hardening off before being transplanted to help acclimate them to life outdoors.
Start the hardening off process seven days prior to the planted transplant date by placing the seed tray outdoors in a bright, protected location. Leave the seed tray out for two hours the first day, four hours the second day and so forth until it remains outdoors all day and night by day seven.
When seedlings are ready for transplant and all danger of frost has past, dig planting holes in the prepared soil.The holes need to be six inches apart and the same depth as the seedlings are in their current seed tray (approx., 1-2 inches).
Gently lift seedlings out of the tray one at a time and plant one per hole. Gently cover roots with soil and water each plant in well. Keep plants watered until the roots become established and the plants show signs of new growth.
Lobelias produce dark-green to reddish bronze leaves and showy, 3-5 inch spikes of brilliant red or blue flowers that bloom from late summer to early fall.
Plants range in size from a few inches to several feet tall. The flower comes in both annual and perennial varieties.
Keep spent flowers removed and trim plant to desired shape and size any time during the growing season when it begins to look leggy.
Add a side dressing of compost during the growing season to feed the plants or water with a water soluble plant food mixed at one-half the recommended rate weekly.
Mulch plants to help prevent weed growth and retain soil moisture. Lobelia does not like hot, dry weather, so a layer of organic mulch will also help keep the plant roots cool and the plant thriving during the heat of summer.
A common disease for lobelia is called 'dumping off' and it's a fungal disease that attacks the plant at soil level and causes it to rot. To protect your plants from getting this killing disease, improve the air circulation around the plants and water at soil level, never from overhead. Watering plants from overhead wets the leaves and the moisture setting on the leaves is what sets the stage for the dumping off fungus to grow and thrive.
Temperature fluctuate can also cause the dumping off disease to occur. Be particular watchful over your plants right after a sudden rise or fall in air temperature.


Since 2003, Dallas Furniture Bank (DFB) has provided furniture to qualified individuals and families transitioning from adverse life events with the goal of restoring normalcy, independence and self-respect in their lives. We work to achieve this mission by collaborating with Dallas social service agencies whose clients desperately need furniture. DFB is the only agency in Dallas County whose mission is to provide basic household furnishings to people in need.
Dallas Furniture Bank's program fills the missing gap in the continuum of care for transitional homeless and low-income families. Though many of our agency partners provide housing for those in need, the resource of furniture is not provided to approximately 90% of these families. DFB collects basic household furniture from private households and businesses and stores them in a warehouse for future distribution. Working with agency partners that refer clients to us, DFB provides this basic furniture to previously homeless families and others in need, resulting in increased chances for self-sufficiency, higher levels of self-esteem, and long-term stability.
This request is for Board service only. No special project work is being requested in these areas.
For a term of two years, our board members serve on committees including Governance, Development, Finance, Nominations and Strategic Planning. Our board traditionally meets 6 times per year on the first Wednesday every other month during the lunch hour at the Center for Community Cooperation and conducts an annual in-house retreat.
What is required of members of the Board?
Attend and orientation and tour of the DFB warehouse.
Volunteer with DFB activities, such as Warehouse Visitation Days, Crib Drive, etc.
Raise awareness and the profile of the agency in the Dallas/Fort Worth community.

Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis: A Cardiac Risk Factor?
I read with great interest the case series of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis from Westchester County Medical Center, New York . As the authors point out, the disease in their series seemed to be relatively benign if treated early. The prevalence of significant comorbid conditions compared with that in patients in previous studies from the midwestern United States would be of interest. It is also noteworthy that 2 of the 18 patients presented with chest pain (notably, this patient did not have arthralgias or myalgias) and syncope, respectively. Cardiac manifestations of another tickborne illness, Lyme disease, have been described. Was concomitant infection with Borrelia burgdorferi excluded, and did the patients in the Westchester series have a cardiac workup? Results of such an investigation might contribute to the expanding knowledge of the effect of infectious agents in cardiovascular diseases.
