Once we talk of health, health is known though our mental health is yet another essential component of any health and fitness plan. The saying health is not a globally recognized the one that is called the possible lack of illness and injuries. World Health Organization defines it an ailment of complete wellness including physical, mental, and social wellness. According to this definition, a man can not be mentioned to get healthy just according to insufficient any disease or infirmity.
With different classic saying, we become that which you do and our thoughts. However a large role inside our health is conducted by what we eat and our exercise levels. In the present existence, so many people are seen living a non-active lifestyle with no perfect time of eating and sleeping. Their dietary intake is poor with many different unhealthy foods, processed foods, fried food, colas, alcohol, tobacco, tea, and periodic being incorporated inside their diet. Add lack of focus plus a complete recipe for health disaster is ready. We have machines to accomplish everything for we and us hardly cause exercise. We have motorcycle and vehicle to think about us for the nearby market and office therefore we use elevators as opposed to stairways to attain offices situated at high floors.
No proper movement and stretching within our braches increase our woes and we are struggling with many ailments because of inadequate daily exercises. People love spending their free time before their Televisions or chatting on the web employing their mobiles or computers rather to perform a stroll or exercise with machines or bikes. Teenagers, youthful adults, in addition to older folks are seen stuffing burgers and steaks to provide their stomachs during lunchtime they don't carry proper Tiffin to supply themselves complete diet.
Poor dietary intake that incorporated colas and fat wealthy food introduced to millions becoming overweight and overweight. Thankfully, people have awakened for the perils of being overweight and so are now more health-conscious than in the past to acquire to shape and gain fitness for physiques and minds. The mushrooming of gyms and health and fitness centers everywhere represents this growing awareness. The identical concern for health and fitness is observed in diets where individuals are becoming conscious from the entire volume of their calorific intake.
The final outcome that proper dieting and exercise is essential to boost upon an individual's health and fitness levels has introduced for the market being flooded by health products for instance supplements, proteins, and machines for exercise at homes. However, you need to chance a health and fitness plan once speaking to some physician or possibly an expert in nutrition as people have different physiques with assorted nutritional needs.


Album Review of Roadkill Overcoat by Busdriver.
Review Summary: Busdriver moves to Epitaph, becomes poppier, and drops one of the catchiest bombs of 2007. Quality hip-hop album.The average attention span for a person is around 30 seconds. When you think about how long conversations, speeches, movies, or musical works last the last man listening should be crowned some sort of iron man yes? Well the 30 can be extended when the artist or speaker takes the right approach, it its interesting and hard to turn away from the attention spent on it can last much longer than a mere half a second.
With his witty rhymes and nasally voice, Busdriver has been steadily building up and expanding upon the L.A. alternative rap scene since 2001, when his debut, Memoirs of an Elephant Man, came out. With each subsequent release, the MC embellished his already eclectic repertoire with increasingly off-the-wall lyrics and production (the latter handled by a number of different people).


The European Commission is launching the first edition of the RESponsible Island Prize, which is dedicated to islands with innovative and sustainable local renewable energy production for use in electricity, heating, cooling and transport. The three winners will receive a cash prize of €500,000, €250,000 and €100,000, respectively.
Islands are perfect test labs for the deployment of innovative energy technologies. I hope this new prize will encourage many islands and other small communities to re-think the way they produce and consume energy. Europe needs all communities, big and small, to contribute to the clean energy transition.
The prize is funded under Horizon 2020, the EU research and innovation programme (2014-2020). Successful applicants will also need to demonstrate how their energy system engages the local community as responsible consumers.
Through the prize, the Commission will contribute to fulfilling the objectives of the Political Declaration on Clean Energy on EU Islands and the Smart Islands Initiative. It will also help the EU to advance on one of the eight innovation challenges defined under Mission Innovation, a global initiative working to accelerate the clean energy transition.
The deadline for applications is 26 September 2019. More information, including the Rules of contest, will be available in the coming days on the RESponsible Island Prize website.

Record Setting 2022 Brazos Valley Fair & Rodeo
December 2, 2022 Bill Oliver
Screen shot from a Brazos Valley Fair & Rodeo document.
For the first time, more than 20,000 attended the Brazos Valley fair and rodeo.
That was one of the records senior manager Fiona Meyer shared with county commissioners in reviewing the 2022 fair.
Meyer told county commissioners that record participation was set in almost every competitive category. That includes creative arts, livestock, mutton busting, rodeo, livestock judging, a high school welding competition, and the first year of the fair's barbecue cook off.
More than 350 volunteers from 20 local non-profit groups split more than $33,000 dollars by working more than 2,500 hours during the fair.
Commissioners also heard about the assistance the fair received from law enforcement and emergency service agencies. Meyer said EMS provided 199 volunteer hours, 39 security officers worked more than 500 hours, the city of Bryan allowed the fair to once again use their incident command bus, Washington County again loaned their camera trailer to monitor parking lots, and Brazos County's IT department assisted with cameras throughout the grounds of the Brazos County Expo.

For 10 years, I danced with the Just For Kix team in St. Ansgar, Iowa, took gymnastic lessons in Minnesota, and cheered on my football and basketball teams all four years of high school with my all-girl squad in my hometown of Riceville, Iowa. Now, I am currently on the UNI cheerleading squad as a Co-ed flyer.
This is my first year coaching. At TNT, I coach K-5 recreational cheer, intermediate hip-hop and the flexibility, strength and conditioning classes.
My favorite skill to teach is flyer drills and skills because I get to share the things I have learned from my previous years cheering.
My goal as a rec cheer coach is to give the athletes skill and passion so they can participate in a competitive squad.
Some advice for the TNT athletes is to take advantage of all the different classes that are offered…IN ONE LOCATION! I had to take dance classes in one town, gymnastics in another, and cheered in my hometown. I never got the opportunity to cheer competitively and I wish I would have. These opportunities are what girls all over strive for and I encourage you all to take full advantage of them.
A fun fact about myself is the TNT cheer colors are also my favorite colors!

Dafmark Preview: ?Missing, Remembering; a Tribute to 9/11?
There were three dancers, two hanging pillars, and one writer. Ben Speggen checks in with the Dafmark Dance Theater's upcoming production: "Missing, Remember; a Tribute to 9/11."

Three dancers. Two hanging pillars. One black cloth. And one writer as the audience sitting in the dance hall.
Choreographer Dafna Rathouse-Baier slides out a chair and sits down beside me and suddenly the room doesn't feel so empty. Dafna, a small but strong woman who carries herself with confidence, begins telling me about the scene as together we watch part of Dafmark's upcoming production: "Missing, Remembering; a Tribute to 9/11.
The dance begins and now the room doesn't feel empty at all—maybe close, intimate even, as the room likely can hold a hundred or so viewers but I'm sitting right in front.
Two of the dancers move to the suspended pillars—the Twin Towers—while the other dancer occupies the center. The music and dancers move beautifully together, but it's hard not to watch these Towers created by Marsha Cisek. The dancers swing these pillars—back and forth, back and forth—and something very beautiful comes from the dancers out of something so tragic that it's difficult to believe I'm smiling at the art, the grace, the poignant moves, turns, lifts, drops.
Music plays but there's something more to it, something in the foreground: voices, reading messages, messages, Dafna tells me, that were sent that day, ten years ago when we were suckerpunched in our mouth and the world changed course forever out of a mixture of fear, anger, sadness, and myriad other emotions words can only grasp at.
There will be poetry read here, Dafna, Dafmark's Ballet Mistress and Artistic Director, explains at a point in the dance. "All the years we've been choreographing and creating all original works," she says, pausing to watch the dancers, and I pause too. "I love poetry."
And that love led Dafna to find people who wanted to write poetry to be part of this "creation of a memory of a reflection." Dafna turned to Gannon University's Paula Barrett, a member of the university's theater department. She recommended two students: Cristen Manion and Keefer Kopco, two 19-year olds who both wrote the poetry and will serve as actors during the performance as they read their original works.
"What is so beautiful is that I was inspired by the music, they came and saw what I did, they were inspired," says Dafna, "and they had their own input so it's really a work that came together through one another inspiring each other, yet keeping our own voice."
But originally it was the music that inspired her. She and her husband were driving home from Cleveland to Erie and Jean-Marc, the company's co-founder and executive director, had the CD.
"I felt that I was really being inspired by somebody else's art form—music—and I was so taken by the fact that it so poignant and it doesn't try to be pretty, it doesn't try to be easy, it is how he felt. John Adams (one of the three composers the company is using; the other two are David Eggar and Anton Arensky) is very, very well known as a composer. And I felt that he did something very intimate by using bits and pieces and these words that stick in your mind and repeat themselves and repeat because that's exactly what the media gave us is this."
She pauses again. "I saw the second plane hit." The words fall into my lap. "These are images that just stay in your mind, so I was very taken by it."
Undeniably some will find the topic of terror attacks controversial, but Dafna believes the work speaks to the audience in a way that they will appreciate it.
"I hope," she pauses again. "I hope it affects each other in a different way. It's for people to take whatever touches them. It's a creative endeavor; it's not a McDonald's. You don't know what you're going to get, but you know it's going to be creative. People know when they come here that it's creative, it's very creative, and every dancer puts their heart into it."
And Dafna believes in respecting the audience by putting her whole heart into this creative work and hopes that people can take away something from this production.
"It's nice to come and just experience because Erie is full of very good things," she says, with widening smile as the dancers continue in front of us. "It's very personal. It's not personal because I did the choreography; it's personal because [the audience will] take it and do something with it. It becomes theirs. The poets become part of it. What I love about it is that people are invested and want to be creative. What is important is when you are creative, you're respectful to your audience and that you care about what you do. And that's the one main thing: that you stand behind what you do and that it matters to you."
The performances begin at 8 p.m. both Friday, Nov. 4 and Saturday, Nov. 5. The performances will last approximately 35 minutes and will be open for discussion following the show. Dafmark Dance Theater is located at 1033 State St. For further information, including ticket prices, call 454.3993 or visit dafmark.org.

Contact Alfred
Listen Now Buy Now Soul to Soul CD Available Now
Join my newsletter:
Alfred's life long passion for music, his natural creative talent for composition and his unwavering resolve to produce and share his musical work with the rest of the world are the "raison d'être" of this CD.
Inducted in classical music and influenced by contemporary world music, Alfred began to write his own songs and shape his own style of music at a very young age. His melodious music has evolved and matured over the years to reach a level of classical beauty with precision and modernity that transcend style, age, culture, and time.
Alfred started studying classical music at the age of 3, formed his first band at the age of 11, and released his first songs, which became instant hits on the Billboard Charts in many part of the world, at the age of 16. He continued to develop and modernize his songs over the years by releasing four more records and writing soundtracks for a variety of short films and documentaries. In the nineties, Alfred discovered the potential of computer music and began experimenting with the recording technology to lay down his musical ideas and feelings in a more personal and authentic way. He produced his first CD Album "Nostalgia" in 1999 which is still in demand and available in the Musical Archives of the Release Section of his website.
Encouraged and supported by extraordinary professionals and friends, Alfred invested time, energy and resources to take his newer compositions to a much higher level. Working with Anton Streiss, one of the best musician, composer, arranger and engineer in the music industry and, using the most advanced music recording technology, he succeeded in infusing a sense of natural realism into the complex making of his compositions..
It took Alfred many years of intensive work and soul searching to produce the musical pieces you are about to listen to. The result is a series of truly beautiful composition that are musically pleasing, versatile and above all, musically attuned with a high level of sensitivity and deep human emotions. Like all genuine and serious creative projects, the visionary process was long and challenging, but the result unique and superb. Each musical piece released has taken in time a life of its own. Listen to it, connect with it and make it your own.

President Trump and the Application of the UCMJ. UPDATE 5

Donald Trump Grants Clemency to Army Major Matt Golsteyn and 1st Lt. Clint Lorance
President Donald Trump granted clemency to Army Maj. Matt Golsteyn and 1st Lt. Clint Lorance on Friday, who were accused of war crimes.
Lorance served more than six years of a 19-year sentence he received after he was found guilty for ordering his men in Afghanistan to engage a motorcycle with three men on it.
"Many Americans have sought executive clemency for Lorance, including 124,000 people who have signed a petition to the White House, as well as several members of Congress," White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.
Lorance was released from prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on Friday night.
Golsteyn was scheduled for a trial after killing a terrorist bomb-maker after he was released from detention.
"After nearly a decade-long inquiry and multiple investigations, a swift resolution to the case of Major Golsteyn is in the interests of justice," the White House statement from Grisham said.
Several members of Congress advocated for Golsteyn's clemency as well as Clay Higgins, American author and Marine combat veteran, Bing West, and Army combat veteran Pete Hegseth of Fox News.
The president also restored the rank and honors of Special Warfare Operator First Class Edward Gallagher.
Gallagher was found not guilty of murdering an ISIS fighter in Iraq in 2017 but was convicted for posing in a photo with a dead ISIS fighter.
"For more than two hundred years, presidents have used their authority to offer second chances to deserving individuals, including those in uniform who have served our country," Grisham said. "These actions are in keeping with this long history."
IMHO there isn't anything wrong with the UCMJ, the fault lies with its application by a corrupt bureaucracy!
A bureaucracy that is used not in search of truth, but in a quest for personal advancement, vendettas, and whose primary goal is to prove; regardless of facts, the U.S. Military doesn't make mistakes.
Rarely are charges dropped at a Article 32 hearing when investigators have jumped to a wrong conclusion. Instead the unlimited resources of the Government are used to do whatever it takes to prove its case.
Hopefully many of these recent victims of such abuse will continue the fight to bring justice for those who have fallen in such persecutions.
I can assure you their are many more whom you have never heard of suffering the effects of these bureaucratic assholes!
We are talking at least hundreds, if not thousands of military members.
It is not just about alleged "war crimes," but allegations of numerous types that were jumped on before facts revealed truth or innocence. Within a system that would break any law to prove they were right and cover up their mistakes.
The 95% military conviction rate is not a product of the search for justice!
This topic was modified 1 month, 4 weeks ago by Joe (G.W.N.S.).
Absolutely agree with what you stated.
I couldn't agree more. The military is still infested with Obama ass-kissers who think our military is the problem, not our enemies, who are just nice, mis-guided boys.
Other Commonwealth countries are pulling the same shit with their troops. It's disgraceful.
I am no longer recommending young men serve their country. Go to MVT instead. It's the best tuition you'll ever pay.
Spot fucking on.
There are several supposedly veteran websites out there saying this is bad. That tells me all I need to know about the guys running those sites.

Navy Wants to Eject From SEALs a Sailor Cleared by Trump, Officials Say
Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher is expected to be formally notified of the action on Wednesday.
The Navy SEAL at the center of a high-profile war crimes case has been ordered to appear before Navy leaders Wednesday morning, and is expected to be notified that the Navy intends to oust him from the elite commando force, two Navy officials said on Tuesday.
The move could put the SEAL commander, Rear Adm. Collin Green, in direct conflict with President Trump, who last week cleared the sailor, Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher, of any judicial punishment in the war crimes case. Military leaders opposed that action as well as Mr. Trump's pardons of two soldiers involved in other murder cases.
Navy officials had planned to begin the process of taking away Chief Gallagher's Trident pin, the symbol of his membership in the SEALs, earlier this month. But as he waited outside his commander's office, Navy leaders sought clearance from the White House that never came, and no action was taken.
Admiral Green now has the authorization he needs from the Navy to act against Chief Gallagher, and the formal letter notifying the chief of the action has been drafted and signed by the admiral, the two officials said.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the impending action.
The Navy also plans to take the Tridents of three SEAL officers who oversaw Chief Gallagher — Lt. Cmdr. Robert Breisch, Lt. Jacob Portier, and Lt. Thomas MacNeil — and their letters have been drafted and signed as well, one of the officials said.
Under Navy regulations, a SEAL's Trident can be taken if a commander loses "faith and confidence in the service member's ability to exercise sound judgment, reliability and personal conduct." The Navy has removed 154 Tridents since 2011.
Removing a Trident does not entail a reduction in rank, but it effectively ends a SEAL's career. Since Chief Gallagher and Lieutenant Portier both planned to leave the Navy soon in any case, the step would have little practical effect on them. But in a warrior culture that prizes honor and prestige, the rebuke would still cast the men out of a tight-knit brotherhood.
"To have a commander remove that pin after a guy has gone through so much to earn it, it is pretty much the worst thing you could do," said Eric Deming, a retired senior chief who served 19 years in the SEALs. "You are having your whole identity taken away."
"Why would they do it to someone like Gallagher?" said Mr. Deming, who is not involved in the case. "I think the leadership feels like they have lost the trust of the American people and want to rebuild it. So they are trying to show guys will be held accountable."
The move sets up a potential confrontation between Mr. Trump, who has repeatedly championed Chief Gallagher, and Admiral Green, who has said he intends to overhaul discipline and ethics in the SEAL teams and sees Chief Gallagher's behavior as an obstacle.
One Navy official who spoke about the specifics of the action said the admiral was making the move knowing that it could end his career, but that he had the backing of Adm. Michael M. Gilday, the chief of naval operations, and Richard V. Spencer, the secretary of the Navy.
Asked about Admiral Gilday, his spokesman, Cmdr. Nate Christensen, said on Tuesday that the admiral "supports his commanders in executing their roles, to include Rear Admiral Green."
Chief Gallagher's lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, said that punishing the chief after the president cleared him last week would amount to insubordination.
"Does Admiral Green have the authority to do it? Yes," Mr. Parlatore said in a telephone interview. "But how tone-deaf is the guy? The commander in chief's intent is crystal clear, that he wants Eddie left alone."
Mr. Parlatore said he expected Mr. Trump to order the Navy to restore Chief Gallagher's Trident if it is removed, and to dismiss Admiral Green from command.
Chief Gallagher has been at the center of a whipsaw war crimes case for more than a year. He was arrested and jailed in 2018 on war-crimes charges including shooting unarmed civilians in Iraq and killing a wounded teenage captive with a hunting knife. A military jury acquitted him in July of all the charges except a minor one of posing for a trophy photo with the captive's corpse; for that crime, he was demoted and faced the possibility of further sanctions. Mr. Trump restored his rank on Friday.
"I had a feeling that it was coming because, you know, the president has shown the nation he was a man of his word," Chief Gallagher said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday." "He knew a lot about all the injustices that went on through this whole ordeal I went through."
Navy officials contend that, independent of the criminal charges, Chief Gallagher's behavior during and since the deployment has fallen below the standard of the SEALs. A Navy investigation uncovered evidence that he had been buying and using narcotics.
Since his acquittal, Chief Gallagher has trolled the Navy on social media, taunting the SEALs who testified against him; mocking one who wept as he told investigators about witnessing the stabbing of the captive; insulting the Naval Criminal Investigative Service; and calling top SEAL commanders, including Admiral Green, "a bunch of morons."
The cases of Chief Gallagher and the three officers will be submitted to a review board, who will decide whether to follow the admiral's recommendation that they be ejected from the force. The process, which can take several weeks, almost always results in the SEAL's Trident being taken, according to Patrick Korody, a former Navy prosecutor.
"I've never seen anyone beat it," he said. "In cases like this, I don't know if you could find anyone who would go against the admiral's recommendation."
For all four men, the review board's decision is likely to center on the allegations that Chief Gallagher committed murder during a 2017 deployment to Iraq.
In court testimony, multiple SEALs in his platoon said that they reported one killing the day it happened, and several times after that as well, but that the platoon commander, Lieutenant Portier, did not forward the report up the chain of command as required by regulations. Lieutenant Portier was criminally charged with failing to report the murder; he denied the charges, and they were dropped after Chief Gallagher was acquitted.
Commander Breisch was the troop commander over Chief Gallagher and Lieutenant Portier in Iraq. SEALs in the platoon testified that they told him repeatedly about the killings after the deployment, but were told to "decompress" and "let it go," according to a Navy investigation. Commander Breisch was not charged.
Lieutenant MacNeil was the most junior officer in the platoon, and was one of the SEALs who reported Chief Gallagher for murder and testified at his trial. During the proceedings, though, it was revealed that Lieutenant MacNeil had done nothing to stop the chief from posing for a trophy photo with the head of the dead teenage captive he was accused of stabbing, and had posed for the photo as well. At trial it was also revealed that Lieutenant MacNeil had been drinking with enlisted SEALs in Iraq, in violation of regulations.
The president has the authority to stop or reverse any decision concerning the SEALs' Tridents, according to Eugene R. Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale Law School. But for generations, he said, presidents have generally refrained from inserting themselves into the military's personnel decisions.
"The president is the commander in chief; he could give orders about how to peel the potatoes in the chow hall if he wanted," Mr. Fidell said. "The question is, should he?"
Regarding Chief Gallagher's Trident, he said: "A reasonable observer could say this is a completely inappropriate intrusion into the military. If Trump saves his Trident — and I'd bet on it — I would say he will have driven the wedge ever deeper into an already divided military. And that can't be helpful."
This is got to be the most blatant disregard for the authority of the Commander in Chief I've ever seen!
…but that he (Admiral Green) had the backing of Adm. Michael M. Gilday, the chief of naval operations, and Richard V. Spencer, the secretary of the Navy.
Particularly if above is true the president should relieve both Green and Gilday of Command pending application of appropriate charges under the UCMJ and fire the SECNAV.
This is a prime example of the idiots that have infiltrated the ranks within the U.S. Military.
For these so called Officers to assume they can continue to thwart the obvious intent of the Commander in Chief is beyond shocking!
We are obviously past the point of a need for major house cleaning of military leadership!
§ 531. Original appointments of commissioned officers
(1) Original appointments in the grades of second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and captain in the Regular Army, Regular Air Force, and Regular Marine Corps and in the grades of ensign, lieutenant (junior grade), and lieutenant in the Regular Navy shall be made by the President alone.
(2) Original appointments in the grades of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel in the Regular Army, Regular Air Force, and Regular Marine Corps and in the grades of lieutenant commander, commander, and captain in the Regular Navy shall be made by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.
(b) The grade of a person receiving an appointment under this section who at the time of appointment (1) is credited with service under section 533 of this title, and (2) is not a commissioned officer of a reserve component shall be determined under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense based upon the amount of service credited. The grade of a person receiving an appointment under this section who at the time of the appointment is a commissioned officer of a reserve component is determined under section 533(f) of this title.
(c) Subject to the authority, direction, and control of the President, an original appointment as a commissioned officer in the Regular Army, Regular Air Force, Regular Navy, or Regular Marine Corps may be made by the Secretary concerned in the case of a reserve commissioned officer upon the transfer of such officer from the reserve active-status list of a reserve component of the armed forces to the active-duty list of an armed force, notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (a).
(added pub. l. 96–513, title i, § 104(a), dec. 12, 1980, 94 stat. 2845; amended pub. l. 97–22, § 3(a), july 10, 1981, 95 stat. 124; pub. l. 108–375, div. a, title v, § 501(a)(4), (c)(5), oct. 28, 2004, 118 stat. 1873, 1874.)
Bold mine for emphasis.
Something that is being extremely overlooked during this "fiasco" is that President Trump as Commander in Chief (CINC) has complete authority to make any lawful order he should choose to make.
Both officer and enlisted can agree, disagree, and bitch and moan privately to their peers, but the only option is to say "Yes Sir" and faithfully execute such a lawful order!
This included in the past such poor CINC's as Obama! Which is why the choice of President is so more important than most realize.
As an officer you could resign your commission, or as enlisted choose not to reenlist, but that is the extent of your legal options regarding disagreements of lawful orders.
The fact that other CINC's chose to take a standoff approach to their leadership as CINC has no effect on President Trump's authority to fulfil his role as CINC; within the confines of lawful orders, as he sees fit!
I can't emphasize enough how big a deal this is!
Having any officers that think they can ignore something as basic as the chain of command is serious enough, but the idea that flag level officers think they can do their own thing needs to be forcefully corrected immediately!
There are quite a few that need to be hung in the elevator shaft at Fort Leavenworth.
No doubt!

Of course it will be interesting if elements within the Navy's senior leadership are smart enough to let this end!
My suspicion is there will be more tantrum inspired attempts to screw with Chief Gallagher.
Another danger is even once retired is the fact that enlisted members who retire before 30 years still technically fall under the UCMJ until their 30 year mark.
I do not know of any instances of this being enforced, but many powerful bureaucrats have gotten their "feelings" hurt over this intervention by President Trump.
I find myself almost wanting them to continue this insanity so it can be addressed. Otherwise this problem will slip through the cracks and more service members will pay the price for this lack of oversight of poor senior leadership.
True? However long an enlistment, you fall under UCMJ for 30 years?

No if you enlist; but do not retire, your initial commitment is for 8 years.
So maybe you do 4 years active duty and get out, you still have 4 years left even though you maybe in a inactive reserve status.
After your 8 years is over then you are done.
So if you did 8 years active you are done.
In the past they have had early retirement options to reduce end strength in armed forces. So you get a reduced retirement pay, but you aren't actually retired until 30 year mark.
Technically anything under 30 years for enlisted personnel is a retainer pay, until the 30 year mark. During this period you are subject to recall.
After 30 years you are done.
Technically officers are on the hook for life.

These Navy officers like Green are brain damaged. First NSW is a rolling dumpster fire as it is and he keeps tossing gas on the fire to keep it going. They need to make this shit go away and get out of the news cycle. First rule of crisis management is stop digging your own grave and kill the publicity. Second, you basically flipped off the CINC which in my business terms looked like he told his 4th line manager to GFY. Third, the dude is leaving the Navy which makes this look even more petulant and petty.
I dont know the ground truth about Gallagher and whether he was a bad dude or had a bad team but I do know how an organization chart/chain of command works. If I was Trump, I would pull the entire Navy chain of command between me and Green into a room, rip assholes at an epic and atomic level and then ask for resignations. Then I would go outside to the press, chapter and verse the SEAL shit show and poor Green leadership, and put new people in there. Are these "Obama officers" or are this just the stupid fuckery normally associated with senior military officers?
If this is normal and representative of US military leadership at this point, beside the inevitable, inexorable social and political decline of our country we as a nation is truly and completely fucked.
Of course, that is just my opinion.

My biggest concern is this will slip through the cracks without solving this leadership problem while we have someone like President Trump willing to take action.
Are these "Obama officers" or are this just the stupid fuckery normally associated with senior military officers?
In my opinion by the mid 1990's things really started this trend we see today.
If this is normal and representative of US military leadership at this point…
It's possible; though rare, for exceptional combat leaders to make flag officer, it's far more political than most have any idea.
Additionally; though discussed before, is how many Socialist are within this higher leadership, say Colonel/Captain (O-6) and above.
Looking at Adm Green's official biography I see no list of his awards, so I suspect he has the typical cookie cutter awards any successful military member would have, but nothing relating to heroism. There maybe a jealousy issue when dealing with highly decorated combat subordinates.
Remembering he was too Senior to be involved in the nitty gritty of the GWOT and his prior assignments were with generic SEAL Teams in peacetime. Entering service in 1986.
As you allude those above him should have dealt with his stupidity, the President shouldn't have to be addressing such issues!
If everyone from Green to the SECNAV were dealt with it could have a positive result, checking such poor leaders throughout the military.
Unfortunately unless Navy continues to push I doubt it will be addresses.
I hope I am wrong.

Good news for Chief Gallagher!
However it is truly insane that President Trump, CINC of the U.S. Military should need to get involved in such matters.
However the U.S. Military senior leadership has shown they are currently incapable and/or incompetent to command. Our service members deserve far better. This can not be allowed to go on regardless if they finally leave Chief Gallagher alone. Which still remains to be seen.
I don't believe the UCMJ is broken, but no system can work for justice in the absence of just men and women!
What is needed is a major review of these so called leaders followed by a purge of these personnel. Some need to be simply removed, but many need appropriate charges brought and if found guilty punished as required.

I knew Matt Golsteyn. Trump did the right thing.
The problem with the military is that it is more worried about being politically correct and advancing the careers of the upper echelons of the officer corps than it is with fostering the warrior mindset and Gee I don't know things like winning battles and wars.

U.S. Navy secretary backs SEAL's expulsion review, despite Trump objection
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (Reuters) – U.S. Navy Secretary Richard Spencer said on Friday a Navy SEAL convicted of battlefield misconduct should face a board of peers weighing whether to oust him from the elite force, despite President Donald Trump's assertion that he not be expelled.
"I believe the process matters for good order and discipline," Spencer told Reuters, weighing in on a confrontation between Trump and senior Navy officials over the outcome of a high-profile war-crimes case.
A military jury in July convicted Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher of illegally posing for pictures with the corpse of an Islamic State fighter but acquitted him of murder in the detainee's death. Gallagher also was cleared of charges that he deliberately fired on unarmed civilians.
Although spared a prison sentence, he was demoted in rank and pay grade for his conviction, which stemmed from a 2017 deployment in Iraq.
Last Friday, Trump intervened in the case, ordering the Navy to restore Gallagher's rank and pay and clearing the way for him to retire on a full pension.
But Navy brass notified Gallagher, 40, on Tuesday that a five-member panel of fellow Navy commandos would convene on Dec. 2 to review his case and recommend whether he is fit to remain in the SEALs.
A decision as to whether Gallagher is ejected from the SEALs, stripping him of his special warfare Trident Pin, ultimately rests with the Navy's personnel command in Washington. Gallagher would retain his rank but be assigned to other duty, though his lawyer has said he will be eligible to retire soon.
On Thursday, Trump lashed out at the proceedings, declaring on Twitter: "The Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher's Trident Pin. This case was handled very badly from the beginning. Get back to business!"
The Navy responded with a statement saying it would follow "lawful orders" from the president to halt the review but was awaiting further guidance, suggesting his Twitter post was not considered a formal directive.
'THAT'S MY JOB'
Asked whether he believed the proceedings against Gallagher should continue, Spencer, in an interview at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, said, "Yes, I do."
"I think we have a process in place, which we're going forward with, and that's my job," he added.
It was not immediately clear how the showdown between Trump and Navy leaders might affect separate trident review board proceedings convened for three of Gallagher's commanding officers.
Critics have said Trump's grants of clemency last week to Gallagher, and to two Army officers separately accused of war crimes in Afghanistan, will undermine military justice and send a message that battlefield atrocities will be tolerated.
The trident review hearings for Gallagher and his immediate superiors were ordered by the commander of Naval Special Warfare, Rear Admiral Collin Green.
Gallagher's lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, contested the Navy's move to oust his client in a complaint filed on Monday with the Defense Department's inspector general, accusing Green of challenging Trump's authority as commander in chief.
Spencer acknowledged that Trump has the power to restore Gallagher's SEAL status if Navy commanders decide to expel him, saying, "The commander in chief is the commander in chief … and he can do what he wants."
I stand by this…
…the President should relieve both Green and Gilday of Command pending application of appropriate charges under the UCMJ and fire the SECNAV.
…can agree, disagree, and bitch and moan privately to their peers, but the only option is to say "Yes Sir" and faithfully execute such a lawful order!
Publicaly disagreeing with the CINC when part of the chain of command is completely inappropriate and certainly isn't an example of "good order and discipline!"
Damn hypocrites!
Pentagon: Defense Secretary Has Fired Navy Secretary for 'Lack of Candor' on Eddie Gallagher Case
The Pentagon announced Sunday afternoon that Defense Secretary Mark Esper has asked Navy Secretary Richard Spencer to resign for not telling him that he had a private conversation with the White House over the taking away of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher's Navy SEAL Trident pin.
"Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper has asked for the resignation of Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer after losing trust and confidence in him regarding his lack of candor over conversations with the White House involving the handling of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher," the Pentagon's chief spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement Sunday.
Trump had intervened in recent weeks to restore Gallagher's rank, which was reduced by the Navy after he was convicted of taking a photo with a deceased Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighter.
The Navy then announced it would launch a review board to consider whether to take away Gallagher's Trident pin, essentially kicking him out of the Navy SEALs. Trump tweeted that the Navy would do no such thing, but Spencer said it would proceed until receiving an official order from the president, which he would follow.
The Pentagon said in its statement that after Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley spoke with President Trump on Friday regarding Gallagher's case, Esper learned that "Spencer had previously and privately proposed to the White House — contrary to Spencer's public position — to restore Gallagher's rank and allow him to retire with his Trident pin."
"When recently asked by Secretary Esper, Secretary Spencer confirmed that despite multiple conversations on the Gallagher matter, Secretary Esper was never informed by Secretary Spencer of his private proposal," Hoffman said.
Hoffman also announced that Esper has directed that Gallagher retain his Trident pin, and that Navy Under Secretary Thomas Modley would now be acting Navy secretary.
Hoffman said:
Secretary Esper's position with regard to UCMJ, disciplinary, and fitness for duty actions has always been that the process should be allowed to play itself out objectively and deliberately, in fairness to all parties. However, at this point, given the events of the last few days, Secretary Esper has directed that Gallagher retain his Trident pin. Secretary Esper will meet with Navy Under Secretary (now Acting Secretary) Thomas Modley and the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday on Monday morning to discuss the way ahead.
The Pentagon statement included a quote from Esper: "I am deeply troubled by this conduct shown by a senior DOD official. Unfortunately, as a result I have determined that Secretary Spencer no longer has my confidence to continue in his position. I wish Richard well."
Esper has proposed that Ambassador Kenneth Braithwaite, current U.S. Ambassador to Norway and a retired Navy Rear Admiral, be considered as the next Secretary of the Navy, the statement said.
This should be good for Chief Gallagher.
However I am deeply concerned the now Former SECNAV may become the sacrificial end of this!
There are many others within the Navy's senior uniformed leadership that need charges appointed! Without that, this problem will not be solved and will continue the injustices demonstrated in this case.
I hope this just the beginning of the house cleaning needed, but I suspect they will pretend this is the solution!

Online Harms: NMA Calls For 'Comprehensive' Exemption For News Publishers
The News Media Association has called for a "robust and comprehensive" exemption for news media publishers and their content from the new regulatory framework for the tech giants, designed to crackdown on online harms.
The NMA warned that the proposals pose "profound dangers to press freedom" because, as currently drafted, national and local news publishers would fall within the scope of the new regime, despite assurances from Government that publishers will not be targeted.
Launching the White Paper, Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright said the Government was interested in, "user-generated content where there is no other control of that behaviour. The activities of newspapers and broadcasters are already regulated." In a subsequent letter to the Society of Editors, he added: "Journalistic or editorial content will not be affected by the regulatory framework."
In its submission to the Online Harms White Paper consultation, the NMA said that a complete exemption would need to be written into the legislation in order to fulfil the government's assurances. Otherwise publishers would be placed in "double jeopardy of censorship and sanction" as both user generated content on their own websites and journalistic content distributed via the social networks would be directly impacted.
User generated content on publishers' websites would trigger the application of a new statutory duty of care bringing news media publishers under direct control of a powerful new regulator armed with powers of surveillance, oversight, investigation, enforcement and sanction.
This ignores the fact that, as well as being subject to the law of the land, publishers already have well-established systems in place for the governance of user generated content, backed by IPSO, and take swift action to address any problems, the NMA said.
The proposed regime would also bite on publishers' content distributed via the social networks – an important platform for publishers to reach new and younger audiences who want to consume their content.
Algorithms deployed by the tech giants to flag "online harms" under the new regime would inevitably fail to distinguish lawful reporting on matters of high public interest - such as terrorism or sexual abuse - from illegal content, leading to a chill in freedom of expression.
The NMA said: "In order to prevent new fetters upon the press and freedom of expression, exemptions are vital. In view of the systems which news publishers already have in place, no public detriment would stem from exemptions.
In a leader on Tuesday, The Times said: "In the absence of exemptions, the White Paper would establish wholly unnecessary, disproportionate, legally uncertain restrictions upon press freedom, which would undermine rather than sustain news publishers' provision of high quality, trusted journalism to the ever-growing audience which demands it."
"The public clamour to make the internet safer is fully justified. The tragic case of Molly Russell, 14, who took her own life after viewing images of self-harm on Instagram, shocked the country. When a terrorist live-streamed himself on Facebook as he murdered Muslim worshippers in New Zealand, it prompted global outrage.
"The challenge for governments is to find ways to make the internet safer without undermining free speech. But as the News Media Association, which represents newspapers, has pointed out in its response to the recent white paper on internet harm, the government's proposals to create a new online safety regulator armed with draconian new powers fail this test.
"There is a further risk that such draconian rules could lead to the disappearance of content that does not pose any social danger. In a bid to duck penalties, websites could impose crude filters designed to prevent harmful content from being seen but which block ordinary social media activity.
"Technology is not yet able to consistently detect irony and humour. Innocent jokes and exchanges might never see the light of day.
"And then there is the risk of the slippery slope. The British press has successfully resisted state censorship for decades. That could become a harder fight once there is routine censorship of millions of people's contributions to online platforms. No other western country is considering censoring the internet to this degree. The government should think again."
The NMA is also gravely concerned about other proposals in the White Paper which would impact negatively upon freedom of expression.
The consultation outlines a raft of new legal restrictions, such as new surveillance powers "to support law enforcement" which could be used to bypass well-established freedom of expression protections and threaten journalistic sources.
Additionally, the invention of new harms such as "online disinformation" and "online abuse of public abuse" would be subverted and abused to quash legitimate reporting in the public interest, the NMA warned.
The NMA said it would welcome discussion with the Government on the "vital, comprehensive" exemption for news publishers and their content from the proposed regime.

Ocracoke to hold championship baseball game on Thursday, June 7th at 4pm.
The Little League season with our friends in Buxton has come to a close for the Ocracoke teams. This can't stop us! On Thursday, June 7 at 4:00 pm, the Orioles and the Marlins will be mixing up their players for the first ever Intra-Island Little League Championship of the World!!!
The rules might seem a little funky, but they will be designed to be fair for the younger kids and fun for all. The tireless Bob Toth will be working the grill and many of the Ocracoke Dolphins' school baseball players will be helping out with the game.
Please come out to the Ocracoke Community Park, the most beautiful field in North Carolina, to see a game played by those who play it the best – kids having fun!
The Ocracoke Marlins youth baseball team (age 7-9) is playing awesome baseball in the Babe Ruth League. The Marlins have been having so much fun playing baseball and improving our skills that we really don't pay attention to the score-board until the umpire tells us that the game is over.
The Marlins dropped two games in a fierce double-header against Hatteras' nefarious Dodgers at Ocracoke's field on May 5th. In this contest, Marlins' game balls were awarded to Mau Perez and Brayden Swain for their leadership on the field and their performance at the plate. Mau leads the Marlins at first base and Brayden has learned the challenging position of catcher and hits with power to all fields.
We were rained out on 5/8, and went to Buxton on 5/12 to give our best game to the always-challenging Mariners. Both teams played an incredible game with great fielding and hitting by both the Mariners and Marlins. Marlins' Petros Burleson hit a 3-run home run in the second inning to keep Ocracoke in the game and our fielders played their best game ever! Malli Harrell and Charles Hodson got their first base hits in this game and Malli scored a critical run. The game ball in this game went to Duncan McClain who hit 2 for 2, scored two runs and made an amazing play at second base for an inning-closing put out from short-stop Eli Schweninger. Coach Jim said, "I'm so proud of the Marlins, they are learning so much about baseball and playing together as a team, it is incredible to be a part of this." He also thanks his assistant coaches and most importantly, the ballplayers from the Ocracoke Dolphins Middle-School baseball team who have been coming out to help with practices and pre-game warm-ups. Baseball is fun – Go Marlins!!!
The Orioles (age 10-12) played a doubleheader against the Braves of the Hatteras Island Youth Baseball League on May 5th at their home field at Ocracoke Community Park. They played good team ball in the opener and the bats were hot as starting pitcher Jacob Daniels got plenty of run support. Uriel Guerrero took to the mound for the first time and looked strong in closing out the game for a 14-0 victory.
Uriel also started the second game of the night as the Orioles bats continued to pound out the hits. Finn Kattenberg came in to close out the game as the home team swept the visitors 8 to 3.
The Orioles were away at the Buxton field and took on the Reds on May 12th in a very tight game. The teams fought to a tie at four a piece when the dust settled in a six inning affair.

The affected leaders appear to be 2216 through 2221 so implementing the suggested fix is not a big deal. Suggest deleting the Units.Cached file if applying this correction.

Grants account for more than half of all financial aid nationwide. They are typically based on financial need and do not require repayment. The best-known example is the Pell Grant, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Sources of other grants include federal and state governments, the colleges themselves, corporations, non-profits, activist and advocacy organizations, labor unions, and individual philanthropists, to name a few.
Some grants are applied directly to your bill, so you never see the money, just a lower bill or no bill at all. In other cases the funds are given to you outright, which allows you some choice regarding exactly how to spend it and which therefore requires some prudence on your part.
Scholarships are similar to grants in that they do not require repayment. They generally are not need-based, at least in theory, and are awarded on the basis of criteria determined by the colleges or other entities (see above, under grants) bestowing them. Benefactors offer partial and full scholarships in recognition of academic performance, athletic prowess, ethnicity, political interests, business ambitions, artistic talent, and community service, among other criteria. As with grants, in some cases the funds are applied to your bill and in others you receive money directly.
Loans are funds that you borrow and must repay, at interest. As we have noted elsewhere (An Arm and a Leg and Your First-born Child: Why College Costs so Much, September 6, 2018), student loan debt is now the second-largest consumer debt category, trailing only mortgage debt.
Loans from the federal government generally offer the lowest interest rates and take need into account instead of depending entirely on the student's credit history. Private student loans on the other hand are offered by banks and other lending institutions to cover college costs that remain after other financial aid mechanisms have been applied, and the borrower's credit history is the key element.
Work-study awards are need-based and are administered by the federal government. They promote student employment by paying part of a student's salary, usually for an on-campus job. The subsidy makes it easier for an employer to pay the student, who then supports himself or herself via that job.
Knowing the generalities of what's out there, starting with the four basic types of financial aid, is one thing, but knowing how to identify particular financial aid packages and navigate the application process is something else. The Coaching Educator has devoted nearly a decade to helping students and their families identify all of their financial aid options and manage the application procedures successfully. To learn more about our philosophy and capabilities, be sure to watch our free webinars, listen to our podcasts, sign up for our four-week College App Boot Camp, consider our Ultimate Programs and our special services for athletes and performing-arts students, and book a consultation to hear what we can do for you and how we do it. Keep reading this blog, and look for us on social media (see links below) as we keep our clients and admirers advised of new developments in our effort to help students get into and succeed at the right school.

"I'm not a soldier, I'm a baller" – xXx: The Return of Xander Cage (Film Review)
23/01/2017 Stanyo Zhelev film, Film Review One comment
Stanyo Zhelev
Directed by D.J. Caruso from a script by F. Scott Frazier, xXX: The Return of Xander Cage is a mindless action flick that aims to turn a decade-too-old franchise into a second-rate The Fast and the Furious clone, with only partial success.
The original xXX from 2002 was on the tail end of the brand of action movies that idolized extreme sports and extreme silliness – it came out the same year as The Bourne Identity, the movie that replaced the over-the-top stunts, gadgets and cheese of the latter Brosnan era Bond films with gritty, hard-hitting down-to-earth action, ushering a different era of the movie super spy. Vin Diesel's Xander Cage, an extreme sports enthusiast turned secret government agent, didn't belong in this new era, which might explain why apart from a 2005 sequel starring Ice Cube, the xXx franchise has been dormant for more than a decade.
With The Fast and the Furious racking in billions worldwide, Diesel has the star power and leverage to try and reanimate xXx, but The Return of Xander Cage is more than a few years too late. It's not that Diesel is too old to be an action star, but Xander is a action hero that emphasizes athleticism and agility and Vin Diesel has bulked up considerably since his xXx years. He's bigger, slower and really doesn't look the type to be doing flips and kicks with motorcycles and skateboards. The same goes for Xander's trademark snark – it's the type of adolescent humour that just doesn't really work when it's coming from a man pushing 50. I can get behind Vin Diesel driving fast cars, jumping out of planes or punching people around, but he outgrew Xander Cage a while ago and it seems weird to try and bring him back like the first movie came out yesterday.
Plus, it's clear that The Return of Xander Cage is trying to capitalise on the success on The Fast and The Furious in more ways than one, what with introducing a large number of new characters in an attempt to build up the same kind of team dynamic. It's not as blatant as calling them a family, but get ready to hear "X takes care of its own" more than a few times. The plot also centres on a technological MacGuffin nicknamed Pandora's Box, not unlike Furious 7's God's Eye.
There a few reasons why the new xXx doesn't work as well as well-oiled machine that is The Fast and the Furious franchise at this point. For starters, the cast of The Fast and the Furious is large, but they introduced them over several movies and gave them clear, if stock, roles – The Return of Xander Cage crams so many at once that there are least four that seem to have no reason to be there whatsoever. Why is Rory McCann in the movie? Why is Nina Dobrev playing a painfully unconvincing and unfunny nerdy stereotype?
Secondly, since Fast Five, The Fast and the Furious movies have had straightforward plots and clear emotional stakes – they're dumb plots, with idiotic twists, but you know what's going on, what the characters are after and what they stand to lose. The Return of Xander Cage has none of that agency. The plot is muddled and confusing, characters switch allegiances on a dime and there's never any sense of personal stakes. It makes it very hard to get invested in the overblown action scenes at all.
The writing is just as cheesy and idiotic as a Fast and the Furious movie, so they got that part right, but it's not even close to being as endearing. If Tyrese Gibson said "I'm not a soldier, I'm a baller" in the upcoming The Fate of The Furious, I'd laugh, because I know he's the dumb comic relief character and that line suits him, but when Kris Wu says it in The Return of Xander Cage, I just groan, scratch my head and try to remember what his character name is or why he's even there to begin with.
It's not that the movie isn't entertaining. It hits enjoyably stupid more than a few times, possibly enough to justify watching it. Plus, I'll give it points for having several female characters in what could have easily been a sausage fest, with Ruby Rose's sniper Adele and Deepika Padukone's Serena being the most badass of the bunch. Sure, the camera ogles most of the women in the movie and there's an aggressively stupid scene in which Xander bangs at least four women half his age at the same time (even reusing the "The things I do for my country" line from the first movie for some extra cringe), so the movie loses points there, but at least women have some agency in the action.
Considering how much it borrows from The Fast and the Furious, and rather poorly at that, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage has very little to call its own. If you're desperate for some mindless, overblown action and can't wait for The Fate of the Furious to come out, this might be enjoyable enough to scratch that itch, but that's hardly enough reason to justify its existence. Might have been for the best if Xander Cage just stayed dead.

Great review Stanyo. Passion always comes through in disappointment. You know it's a good review if it successfully uses the term 'sausage fest'.


Mumbai, July 25, 2019 (Team Online News India): StarPlus' one-of-a-kind reality game show 'Sabse Smart Kaun?' which has been tremendously garnering love for its unique content and contestants from different walks of life, is adding a new 'tadka' to its offering, by dedicating a month to the celebration of women.
Women, who do the tough balancing act of managing their family, along with their own personal selves, with smartness and adroitness, will be the centre of attention of the show. Starting 23rd July, evenings 6:30pm to 7:30pm will be the hour when the ladies will have all the masti and fun, and also win a lot of money by answering questions by using their common sense. And joining them in their spirit of revelry, will be the host Ravi Dubey.
The show will see amusing additions of fun games and interesting activities, based on the normal daily lives of Indian women, to the existing format of questions which involve presence of mind, adding a dash of pizzazz and verve to the proceedings. At the same time, the women sitting at home also have the chance of being a part of this carnival by playing the 'Sabse Smart Kaun?' Play Along on the Hotstar app.
The Commoners win big on Sabse Smart Kaun?

What types of conduct may be considered unconscionable?
When determining whether a person is in contravention of s 21, s 22(1) of the ACL outlines the types of conduct that may be considered unconscionable by the courts which includes the following:
(1) Without limiting the matters to which the court may have regard for the purpose of determining whether a person (the supplier ) has contravened section 21 in connection with the supply or possible supply of goods or services to a person (the customer ), the court may have regard to:
(a) the relative strengths of the bargaining positions of the supplier and the customer; and
(b) whether, as a result of conduct engaged in by the supplier, the customer was required to comply with conditions that were not reasonably necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the supplier; and
(c) whether the customer was able to understand any documents relating to the supply or possible supply of the goods or services; and
(d) whether any undue influence or pressure was exerted on, or any unfair tactics were used against, the customer or a person acting on behalf of the customer by the supplier or a person acting on behalf of the supplier in relation to the supply or possible supply of the goods or services; and
(e) the amount for which, and the circumstances under which, the customer could have acquired identical or equivalent goods or services from a person other than the supplier; and
(f) the extent to which the supplier's conduct towards the customer was consistent with the supplier's conduct in similar transactions between the supplier and other like customers; and

Can a dealing for registration be possible if there is a caveat in place?
Generally, a dealing lodged for registration may not be able to go ahead to register if there is a caveat in place restraining the registration of the dealing on the title.
There may be some notification requirements to the caveator that a dealing has been lodged for registration. Depending on the jurisdiction, a caveator has between 14 to 30 days to agree to the registration of the dealing, or to commence proceedings to establish the right for the caveat to be maintained – or the caveat may lapse.
If a caveat is defective in form, it may not be considered. Alternatively, if an extension has been granted, the court will allow for a period of time to ensure the matter can be appropriately dealt with.
What must the vendor disclose in a contract for the sale of residential land?
Vendors under a contract for the sale of land should attach all disclosure documents, conditions, warranties, along with disclosing, and describing any serious defects in the title of the property that the purchaser must accept.
The documents that may be attached include:
zoning or planning certificates;
plans showing the position of sewer lines in relation to the land;
a copy of the property certificate and the official plan of the land such as a deposited (subdivision) plan, or if the property is a strata title, a copy of the whole strata plan;
any documents creating easements, covenants, and any restrictions shown on the property certificate;
notice conforming to the legal requirements in relation to the wording and print size outlining the rights available to the buyer, and also the cooling-off notice;
a certificate of home warranty insurance should also be attached to the contract by the owner, developer or builder.
Failure to include all the required documents may grant the buyer the right to cancel the contract within the specified time period which may differ according to the jurisdiction.
How are financial contributions concerning repairs and maintenance dealt with in relation to strata property?
Issues relating to financial contributions towards the maintenance and repairs necessary to the common property tend to be an area that is particularly fraught. In Julian-Armitage v The Proprietors Astor Centre [1988] QCA 111, the issue before the Court was whether the owner of the lower ground unit (the appellant) had to share the maintenance costs in relation to the operation of the lifts servicing the other units in the plan – despite having no use for the lift.
The Court held that the appellant was responsible for contributing to the body corporate for the upkeep and maintenance of the common property. This included the sharing of the costs of the electricity used to operate the lifts, despite not having any personal use for the lifts.
What happens if a repair is urgent and the tenant is required to pay?
There'll of course be circumstances where repairs are urgently required and there is no choice but for a tenant to arrange for repairs to be made immediately. Looking towards s 72 of Victoria's Residential Tenancies Act 1997 for example, a tenant may arrange for urgent repairs to be carried out to the rented property if the tenant:
has taken reasonable steps to arrange for the landlord or the landlord's agent to immediately carry out the repairs; and
is unable to get the landlord or agent to carry out the repairs.
If a tenant does have to use their own money in undertaking any urgent repairs, in New South Wales and Victoria, tenants can be reimbursed for up to $1000 or such other prescribed amount, and within 14 days, must provide written notice to the landlord about the costs associated in organising for the urgent repairs to be undertaken.
Can a person still be liable for the injuries caused by a trespasser?
How a person enters into the land may not determine whether they are owed a duty of care (see Hackshaw v Shaw [1984] HCA 84; (1984) 155 CLR 614; Australian Safeway Stores Pty Ltd v Zaluzna [1987] HCA 7; (1987) 162 CLR 479). However, the situation that gives rise as to how a person entered into the premises may still be a consideration.
How can a tenant end a leasing agreement?
At the end of the lease period
A tenant wishing to end the agreement at the end of the fixed lease period must generally provide 14 days notice to the landlord in writing on, or before the last day of the lease period. Failing to do this, the rental agreement becomes a periodic one, requiring 21 days notice to the landlord. In the case of a share house, an individual tenant can separately give their 21 days notice to end their lease.
Before the end of the fixed period
In the case of financial hardship to the tenant, they can apply to the relevant tenancy tribunal for an order to end the agreement. This may come with the requirement of paying the landlord compensation for lost income from rent.
A tenant ending their agreement early without an order, may be liable to pay for the costs of breaking the agreement, such as the landlord's lost income. However, the landlord must try to find a replacement tenant as soon as possible. The break fee for ending the tenancy early can be six weeks rent for the first half of the fixed term, and four weeks thereafter such as the case in NSW for example.
However, if the tenant provides the statutory notice, the tenant is not obliged to pay any compensation if:
the tenant has accepted an offer of social housing;
the tenant is going into aged care;
the landlord gives their first notice of intending to sell the house;
the tenant has been excluded from the premises by virtue of an Apprehended Violence Order.
For tenancies lasting more than two years where the landlord has issued a rent increase, the tenant does not need to pay compensation if they give 21 days notice in certain jurisdictions.
What information must be included in a loan contract?
For an equitable right of redemption to be enforced, all of the terms of the loan contract must have been complied with, and compliance may mean the following:
the mortgagor tenders payment on the contractual date for repayment, therefore, they will be will exercising their contractual and legal right to redeem;
the mortgagor has money payable on demand, which means they can repay the amount at any time a valid demand has been made;
upon the passing of the contract date for repayment, the right to redeem the secured property can only be enforceable in the equitable jurisdiction.
Can landlords prevent subleases from being created?
A common law right does exist which allows for a tenant to sublet their interest, however, it is common practice for a covenant in a lease which does not allow for, or restricts a tenants ability to create a sublease.
Therefore, if a common law right does exist for a tenant to create a sublease, can a landlord prevent a tenant from subletting their interest? Unless there is an absolute prohibition preventing a tenant from assigning a sublease, there is no impediment for a tenant to sublet a possessory interest in regards to the rental property.
On the other hand, if there is an agreement between the landlord and the tenant which contracts out their common law right to sublet the property, then any action in which the tenant sublets their interest in the property will be considered as a breach of the covenant.
How do I determine my tenancy status?
Trying to determine who is a boarder or lodger is somewhat a legal grey area. Broadly speaking, borders and lodgers receive meals from a landlord – with the landlord also retaining a position of authority over the property.
Meanwhile, a sub-tenant is classified as someone who lives with a head-tenant – the person whose name is on the lease – with permission from the landlord. A sub-tenant has to pay rent to the head-tenant. Furthermore, the landlord exercises no legal control over a sub-tenant, and it is the head-tenant who is seen to be the landlord in such a scenario.
To complicate matters further, if a head-tenant sublets the property without permission from the landlord, the action may be a breach of the tenancy agreement and the landlord can potentially terminate the lease. However, if a tenant takes in a boarder or lodger, they don't require the permission from the landlord as long as the number of people staying on the property does not exceed the maximum number outlined in the tenancy agreement.
What is "ownership" in property law?
Possession and ownership can be seen as two sides of the same coin, and that assumption is both correct and kind of incorrect.
Arguably, the biggest distinction between possession and ownership is that of permanence – which has more of an association with ownership. Additionally, a person can have possession of something but not necessarily ownership. For example, if you borrow a pen from someone you have possession of the pen, but not ownership, because in this example, possession is temporary, therefore, ownership cannot be claimed. However, the most important part of the example is that the owner has the better right to possession.
Although there may be slight differences between the concept of possession and ownership, the law generally treats both in a similar manner. Turning back to our pen example, if someone interferes with the possession of the pen by wrongly and directly interfering with the person's right to possession, the owner can recover possession because they have a better right to the property – even where ownership is absent.
Our pen analogy can be extended to renting property. Sure, the tenant has possession, while the owner temporarily gives up their ownership rights. However, the owner still possesses residual rights and can bring a lease to an end provided the legal requirements have been adhered to.
What should a landlord do if a tenant stops paying rent?
It may be frustrating for a landlord when a tenant stops paying rent, and you may want to evict the person from your property as soon as it happens, but remember, tenants also have rights and there are a number of requirements that need to be followed before a tenancy agreement can be terminated.
In some jurisdictions, if a tenant has failed to pay rent for 14 days, then notice can be provided to the tenant outlining the fact that rent there is owing. Landlords and tenants can agree upon some sort of payment plan, or set a time period of when rent must be paid. If all of the aforementioned actions have failed, landlords can then apply to a state tenancy tribunal to have the agreement terminated and compensation may also be provided.
Can a landlord physically remove a tenant, and change the locks to the rental property?
Landlords cannot physically remove a tenant. Only a person, such as a Sheriff, who is acting under the authority of the relevant body are able to enforce an order of possession.
Some landlords may also think that changing the locks, or adding additional security measures denying entrance into the property, may be an available option. However, it is generally against the law for the landlord to lock out a tenant.
What disclosures are to be made before a rental agreement has been reached?
Prior to signing an agreement, either the landlord or an agent acting for the landlord must not induce a potential tenant to sign a tenancy agreement via false, misleading or deceptive statements, representations or promises.
Furthermore, before a landlord is able to enter into an agreement with a tenant, either the landlord or the agent must disclose the following:
if the property is to be sold, or there has been preparations made for a contract of sale in relation to the rental property;
if a mortgagee is undertaking action for possession of the property, or has commenced proceedings in a court to enforce a mortgage over the rental property.
Beyond the disclosure requirements, certain material facts in relation to the property must also be made, which can include whether the property has been subject to flooding or bush fire damage over the preceding years, whether the property has been subject to any health and safety risk not apparent to a reasonable person upon inspection of the premises, or the property is part of a shared driveway or walkway, may be some of the material facts that must be made to a tenant before an agreement has been reached.

Q: file read error I am reading a byte stream from a txt file. Ex: 01000101 = 4 bytes.
FILE *file;
 char buffer_msg[100] = { '0' };
 char line[100] = { '0' };

file = fopen("name.txt",'r');

if(file!=NULL)
      {
        while(fgets(line, sizeof(line), file)!=NULL)
           {
                     strcpy( buffer_msg, line);
           }
       }

then i am passing this buffer_msg to a function. Now when i am debugging in eclipse, and chk the memory of buffer_msg it reads the 4 byte data as 3031 3030 3031 3031. My guess is it is reading my data 0001 0000 0001 0001 in that format. Can any body tell what is going on? I guess the text file ends with \r\n. Am i reading the file wrong?

A: Instead of strcpy, you need something like this:
void parse(char *buffer, char *line) {
  while (*line) {
     *buffer++ = (hex2char(line[0]) << 4) + hex2char(line[1]);
     line += 2;
  }
}

This will take two bytes from line, convert the hexadecimal digits to an integer and store it into one byte of buffer.
This will work for hex2char:
char hex2char(char digit) {
  if (digit >= '0' && digit <= '9') {
    return digit - '0';
  } else if (digit >= 'A' && digit <= 'F') {
    return digit - 'A' + 10;
  } else if (digit >= 'a' && digit <= 'f') {
    return digit - 'a' + 10;
  }

  return -1;
}
