WELCOME TO THE FACULTY OF LAW.
The Faculty of Law, Adeleke University stands on a tripod in its sphere of influence and relevance. There is the community, national and international relevance which has distinguished the Faculty amongst its peers. In its resolve to become a breed apart, the Faculty has created a Clinical Legal Education and Research System that are grounded on the values of equity, social justice, excellence and character reformation. The involvement of seasoned and retired legal luminaries and exposure to real life legal practices has enabled the Faculty to produce a new breed of legal practitioners who are well-equipped to function in a post-military civil society leveraging ICT and international collaborations
HISTORY OF THE FACULTY
The Faculty of Law of Adeleke University was established during the 2014/2015 academic session as a centre of academic activities in the University for preparing students for degree programmes in the Law Discipline. It is strategically located in a three floor, four wing complex, very close to the University's Senate Building and few meters away from the two female hostels, the cafeteria and the Esther Adeleke shopping mall. The Faculty offers one programme, LLB (Law) Degree, but for efficiency in administrative procedures, the Faculty is currently divided into two departments: Department of Private and Property Law (PPL); and Department of Public Law (PUL).The Faculty has the tradition of providing collections, instructions and research support for law students and law courses in other faculties within the University through thoughtful planning, assessment and review of LL.B degree course work.
Since the inception, the Faculty has enjoyed the services of highly celebrated, renowned and experienced legal academics. Professor Johnson O. Anifalaje served as the pioneer Dean whereas Prof Isaac. A. Agbede (adjunct) offered his wealth of experience which gave the faculty a solid foundation. Other faculty members at the inception were: Mr. S.A. Adewale, Mrs O. A. Kolawole, Mr.A. A. Alabi, Mrs F. D. Moronkeji, Dr L. A. Adeleke and Dr.Bello Adesina. Other adjunct lecturers at the inception of the department are: Mrs Dorcas Odunaike, Mr Niyi Arije, and Dr Akintayo. Dr. L. A. Adeleke served as the pioneer acting Head of Department of Private and Property Law, Dr Bello Adesina was the Head of Department of Public Law and Barr Jerome Okereke was the Law Librarian. In 2017, there was need to reinforce the staff strength of the Faculty, hence, Prof Kunle Aina, Prof Sunday A. Fagbemi, Mr Ismaila Hassan (SL), Mr Rapheal Olowokere (SL), Mr Rowland Akindele (Lecturer I), Dr R. A. Komolafe (Lecturer I), Mr Kingsley Onu (Lecturer II), Mr Afolabi Adeoye (Legal Research Supervisor) and Mr Omotayo Ishola (Assistant Lecturer) were recruited. With this development, Prof S. A. Fagbemi was made the Head of Department of Public Law whereas Professor Kunle Aina was the Head of Department Private and Public Law.
PHILOSOPHY OF THE LAW PROGRAMME
Law operates on facts of life. It is essentially an instrument of social control. It is obvious that an instrument of social control devoid of the mechanism to build peace will leave human society in constant strife. Embedded in the task of law is the need to resolve social conflicts and build peace. Conflict and peace studies aspire to prevent, manage, resolve conflicts and maintain peace among nations, the government and the governed, inter and intra-community strife among others. We live in an age of advanced technology that has produced destructive weaponry which can wipe away the entire human race and human civilization. Consequently, a conflict and peace study is, and must remain, a necessary predicate of legal studies if the study of law must fulfil the law primary purpose in human society.
The Law programme of Adeleke University is established for the pursuit of truth and the preservation, advancement and transmission of knowledge through high quality, general and professional education geared towards preparing people for dedicated service to humanity. The Law programme is established to contribute significantly to the enrichment and enhancement of legal study and practice. It is designed to provide legal education within the realm of a dynamic socio-political environment that encompasses the national and global trends and challenges. The main focus of the Law programme is to create an environment that encourages intellectual rigour, analytical and critical engagement as well as profound ethical standards. The programme will produce law graduates who can compete actively in legal, social, economic and political developments on a global scale.

Staff and Personnel
The Mission of the Faculty is to provide and maintain good general knowledge of law, including a clear understanding of the place and importance of law in the Nigerian society and in the world at large.
The law programme is based on the credit units system. Overall, it involves a qualitative liberal legal education of international standard, comparable to advanced Western legal systems and yet relevant to the real and felt needs of Nigeria and the African society in general. Law graduates will be amply equipped to pursue higher studies in the Law Faculty of any common law country.
Objectives of Law Programme
Train lawyers who will use law as a tool for the resolution of various social, economic and political conflicts in society, and whose level of education has equipped properly to serve as advisers, solicitors or advocates to governments, business and other associations, individuals, families and other bodies, make a career in academics, or deploy their expertise to other productive endeavours;
Deliver sound and forward looking instruction in legal education to create a crop of lawyers and legal scholars that will enhance national and global development, render sound and ethical legal services, and strike a balance between litigiousness and harmonious relationship though alternative dispute resolution;
Employ collegiality to educate lawyers who can resolve new issues, not just cite the past. Though most law courses today are still remarkably like they were more than a century ago, we shall take instruction in law beyond the study of cases by giving students a problem-based approach to studying law, employing simulations, role plays, real life clients so as to ensure that each lesson has outcomes that are subjected to formative assessment;
Make learning both pedagogically interactive and not impersonal as well as regularly subject the standards in the existing curriculum to relevance test so as to adapt the entire curriculum to changing circumstances;
Harness clinical skills to meet the peculiar needs of our host community for legal counselling services in the areas of itinerant trading, micro-financing, small and medium scale enterprises, agriculture, land use and customary tenancy and other legal relationships;
Deploy the impacted skills and methods as well as modern technologies, especially Information and Communication Technology, for the achievement of the objectives herein contained.
Aims of Law Programme
The aim is to produce law graduates who will be able to place legal profession within the proper perspective of societal needs in the light of social, cultural, economic, political and technological advancement. The programme also aspires to bring the law graduate to the equivalent of a graduate who subsequently undertakes legal studies as a mature student. Adeleke University plans to provide in particular opportunity for all students to be taught and imbued with general knowledge and understanding of Law as a calling and a profession.

Q: Find $\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{x}{\sin x - x}$ Find limit:
$$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{x}{\sin x - x} = ???$$
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.

A: Recall that $\sin(x)=x-\dfrac{x^3}{3!}+o(x^3)$. Then
$$\lim_{x\to 0} \frac {x}{\sin(x)-x} = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac {x}{-\frac{x^3}{6} + o(x^3)}= \lim_{x\to 0} \frac {-6}{x^2 + o(x^2)} = -\infty$$

A: An idea: you can write
$$\frac x{\sin x-x}=\frac1{\frac{\sin x}x-1}$$
and use now that $\dfrac{\sin x}x\xrightarrow[x\to 0]{}1\;$ to show the limit doesn't exist finitely.

A: You should know that $\displaystyle\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$.
Then, look at $$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x - x}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} - \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x}{x} = 1 - \lim_{x \to 0} 1 = 1 - 1  = 0.$$
So, the limit you have doesn't exist (since it would behave like the reciprocal of teh limit I just stated.

A: If you're allowed to use l'Hôpital's theorem, you have
$$
\lim_{x\to0}\frac{x}{\sin x-x}=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{1}{\cos x-1}
$$
Since $\cos x-1<0$ for $-\pi/2<x<\pi/2$, $x\ne0$, we know that the denominator is negative in a (punctured) neighborhood of $0$. Thus
$$
\lim_{x\to0}\frac{x}{\sin x-x}=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{1}{\cos x-1}=-\infty
$$

Neoliberalizing Public Higher Ed
The Threat of Free Market Ideology
Sam Cantor
When we talk about the privatization of public education, we often think of K-12 education. Certainly, the growth of charter schools and voucher programs and attacks on teachers unions indicate that the "education reform" movement poses a major threat to the traditional public school. As prominent education historian Diane Ravitch writes, "'Reform' is really a misnomer, because the advocates for this cause seek not to reform public education but to transform it into an entrepreneurial sector of the economy." But discussions of the entrepreneurialization of public education institutions must also be understood within the context of higher education.
The current crisis within higher ed is often discussed primarily in terms of rising tuition and student debt, but the debt crisis is just one particularly ugly manifestation of a larger trend involving increased corporate investment in college campuses, the exploitation of adjunct faculty, and a de facto attack on scholarly and professional training that does not directly lead to corporate opportunities for graduates. Taken together, these seemingly distinct problems in higher education, and public higher ed in particular, point to a common, underlying ideology that is consistent with that of the K-12 education reform movement: a rationale of neoliberal corporatization and privatization.
As Wendy Brown, a prominent political theorist based at UC Berkeley, writes, neoliberalism represents a "unique governmental and social rationality—one that extends market principles to every reach of human life":
[Neoliberalism] formulates everything in terms of capital investment and appreciation (including and especially humans themselves), whether a teenager building a resume for college, a twenty-something seeking a mate, a working mother returning to school, or a corporation buying carbon offsets. As a governing rationality, neoliberalism extends from the management of the state itself to the soul of the subject; it renders health, education, transportation, nature, and art into individual consumer goods, and converts patients, students, drivers, athletes, and museum-goers alike into entrepreneurs of their own needs and desires who consume or invest in these goods (emphasis is mine).[i]
Neoliberalism is thus a turn away from collectivity and commitment to the public good and a turn toward individualism and an acceptance—embrace, even—of structural inequality. Such ideologies prepare students for life under the domination of large corporations.
But public universities should not act like corporations. They should train students to be great citizens; they should provide academics with resources and security to challenge convention by producing novel ideas and inventions for the public good; and they should be affordable and attainable to any qualified student, and particularly those who come from communities that have historically been isolated from higher ed. Unfortunately, the neoliberal corporatization of public universities is responsible for a number of dynamics that directly undermine these principles.
Rising Tuition = Supply and Demand
Contrary to popular belief, tuition hikes at public universities date back to the 1980s, far before the 2007 financial crisis. According to Salon reporter Thomas Frank, the rise in tuition took off in 1981, the same year that Ronald Reagan took the White House. While politicians and journalists have blamed students, professors, and the new demands for a diverse student body from a more liberal society, it's now clear, Frank says, that the real culprits behind rising tuition are administrators and other decision makers who have long embraced a neoliberal, corporate approach to university administration. This shift was further exacerbated by increasing economic inequality. Indeed, tuition pricing became subjected to "market forces" at the same time that degrees were becoming ever-more important for middle-class employment and upward social mobility.
Donations with Strings Attached
Another reason why universities have increased tuition is the lack of adequate state funding—a trend that has only grown worse since the recession. Disinvestment in state universities has forced colleges to look elsewhere for funding sources, and the corporate sector has eagerly stepped in.
For example, John Allison, former chairman of BB&T Corp., has worked through the BB&T Charitable Foundation to provide schools with "as much as $2 million" under the condition that they "create a course on capitalism and make [Ayn] Rand's … Atlas Shrugged required reading." Former hedge fund manager Jim Simons has tried to privatize tuition practices within the SUNY system, wielding an apparently conditional pledge of $150 million at Stony Brook as a bargaining chip. The Koch brothers have also been widely criticized for their politicized contributions (particularly for funding economics professorships at Florida State University); the Charles Koch Foundation can rescind funding for professors' salaries if their work is deemed "unacceptable." These donations, which come with ideologically charged strings attached, use a not-so-invisible hand to influence university administrators and to promote development strategies and curricula lauding capitalism and the super-rich.
Squeezing the Workforce
Public universities have also sought to shift financial burdens onto faculty and staff. The rise in the percentage of contingent faculty, the precariousness of their positions, and the effect it has on academic integrity and teaching quality are all characteristics of what Claire Goldstein calls the "emergent academic proletariat."
In 1970, "78% of faculty were permanent and full time;" now, says Goldstein, "close to 70 percent of all faculty appointments in degree-granting institutions are off the tenure-track, a number that includes over one million people." Contingent faculty are more likely to be overworked, under-resourced, and left out of important decision-making groups. Lacking job security and other resources, contingent faculty may be less likely to include controversial course material, too. As law professor and free speech activist Marjorie Heins has argued, the dominance of corporate rationality recalls an earlier era of academia, before tenure was a well-established policy and professors could be dismissed for championing scholarship or causes that went against the outlooks of university boards. Now, the public university is again squeezing out those who might otherwise push for some much needed progressive thinking, teaching, and learning.
Entrepreneurializing the Public U
Given the landscape of public disinvestment, rising tuition, and a persistently weak labor market, many have called for the American university to embrace the entrepreneurial spirit they claim is required in an increasingly competitive global economy. As universities take heed—and follow the money—the "entrepreneurial university" is being born before our eyes.
Great public universities can certainly be centers for innovative and pragmatic partnership, and the production of quality goods and services that benefit the larger world should indeed be a part of the university's activities. But in the long term, focusing exclusively on entrepreneurship and the development of "marketable skills" is a different and even dangerous project. Private investors and firms that support an entrepreneur are, by their very nature, interested first and foremost in the profitability of their investment. When an entrepreneurial profit motive is the driving force of decisions instead of a desire to make people's lives better, the university stops being a center for the betterment of society and becomes another means of capital accumulation.
Under this paradigm, certain fields of knowledge yield a higher return than others—as do certain students, namely those who are willing to pay full tuition, accumulate assets of their own as well-paid professionals, and give back to their beloved alma mater. It just so happens that the kinds of learning and teaching deemed most useful—what Henry A. Giroux would call "instrumental pedagogy"—are not those that are essential to progressive social thinking: the critical orientation and self-reflexivity of the humanities and interpretive social sciences pose a threat to neoliberal rationality. And given the price, projects, and results that neoliberal education demands, students from historically marginalized backgrounds or who present points of view challenging corporatization are often shunted aside.
When the market rules, ordinary people and inclusive social structures do not. Instead, rigid hierarchical structures proliferate, free market ideology dominates, progressive and critical thought declines, and disparities among employees abound. Those who have money and influence—corporate billionaires and university administrators—accumulate more of it, while those who do not—students and their families, contingent academic workers— are further marginalized.
In the post-war era, a democratic project began to establish a widely and rigorously educated general public through well-funded and subsidized public higher education. It was an imperfect project at best—African Americans and other people of color were largely denied access to many of these programs—but we should do well to remember the democratic promise of the public university before we relegate it completely to the cold hands of the neoliberal market and corporatization. The stakes are high: who and how we are educated forges us into the kind of society we become. A vigorous public education system, higher ed included, is the best defense against an ascending neoliberal plutocracy where democracy is deemed second to entrepreneurship and capital accumulation.

Dacre Stoker
International Bestselling Author, Presenter & Lecturer
Isolated, rural Transylvanian locations, ethnic diversity has created a wide variety of superstitions which inspired Irish author Bram Stoker to write one of the most famous novels in the English language Dracula (1897). Travel with Dacre Stoker on a historical sightseeing tour euphemistically referred to as Transylvania, DSI (Dracula Scene Investigation) as we dig into the deep, rich and complex history of Romania to understand the truth and the origins of the Vampire myth and how they relate to the real Prince Vlad Dracula III (1431-1476). Furthermore, we will learn how and why Bram Stoker made the connection between the real Prince Vlad Dracula and his iconic fictional character Count Dracula.
The tour will include host Dacre Stoker, Bram's great grand nephew, co author of the official sequel to Dracula entitled Dracula the Un-Dead (Dutton 2009) Bram Stoker's Lost Journal with Dr. Elizabeth Miller (Robson Press 2012). Dacre's latest work, a collaboration with JD Barker, is a prequel to Dracula, it has been sold to Putnam Publishing and is dues out in the Fall of 2018, film rights were sold to Paramount Studios.
While learning about who the real Vlad Dracula lll was, you will tour historical attractions in Romania with connections to Vlad, and a few without any Dracula connections. In the process we will "set the story straight" and explain why Vlad was so effective and revered as a ruler and to put into perspective why he ruled the way he did, and how and why he became known as the "impaler." In addition, you will also learn the connection to the fictional Count Dracula, as created by author Bram Stoker.

Note: Not every site is visited on every tour. Tours are tailored to interests of the group, so no tour is exactly the same.
Sighisoara, Mures County
12th century UNESCO World Heritage walled city which is the birthplace of Vlad Dracula, the home has been turned into a restaurant and bar. There is a museum inside the historic clock Tower, includes a dungeon with display of torture devices.
Bran Castle, Brasov
There are many Castles in Romania associated with Vlad Dracula lll, only one has a direct connection to Bram Stoker writing his famous novel. I believe that Bran Castle did play a role in inspiring Bram as he listed a book by Charles Boner entitled "Transylvania, Its Products and Its Places", it contained an illustration of Bran Castle, many scholars believe that Bram used the image of this castle to describe the appearance of his fictional Castle Dracula. The fortress is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia.
Curte Veche, Princely Palace Bucharest
14th century Old Princely Court of Vlad Dracula, built as a place or residence during the rule of Vlad III Dracula in 1459. Archaeological excavations started in 1953, and now the site is operated by the Muzeul Municipiului Bucuresti in the historic centre of Bucharest.
Hunadoara/ Corvin Castle, Hunadoara
Corvin Castle was laid out in 1446, when construction began at the orders of John Hunyadi who wanted to transform the former keep built by Charles I of Hungary. The castle was originally given to John Hunyadi's father, Voyk, by Sigismund, king of Hungary, as severance in 1409. Vlad Dracula III of Wallachia was held prisoner by John Hunyadi, Hungary's military leader and regent during the King's minority, for 7 years after Vlad was deposed in 1462.
Princely Court of Vlad Dracula lll in Targoviste Dambovita County. The 14th century fortress and Royal Court of Targoviste, was also the former voivodal residence of Wallachia; is by far one of the most important and representative historical monuments in Romania for tourists. Within the fortress stands the impressive Chindia Tower built in the 15th century.
Viscri
A Saxon Village established in the 14th Century includes a fortified Church and museum. Walking thru his village brings one back to medieval days it is also where Prince Charles owns two small rental cottages.
Peles Castle
Built between 1873 and 1914 located in Sinaia Prahova County. The most beautifully decorated castle in Romania, there is no connection to Vlad or the Count but certainly worth the visit.
Sibiu, 1190, Old fortified City
European Capital of Culture in 2007, we visit the Tower of Advice, the Orthodox Church, and the Evangelical Church.
Poenari Fortress, Arefu, Arges County,
Poenari Fortress was erected around the beginning of the 13th century by the rulers of Walachia. Around the 14th century, Poenari was the main citadel of the Basarab rulers. In the next few decades, the name and the residents changed a few times but eventually the castle was abandoned and left in ruins. However, in the 15th century, realizing the potential for a castle perched high on a steep precipice of rock, Vlad III repaired and consolidated the structure, making it one of his main fortresses.
Curtea de Argeş
Curtea de Argeş was an early capital of Wallachia, and these ruins from the 14th century mark the spot where the court once stood. The main sight is St Nicholas Church, which dates from the time of Basarab I (1310–52). Many of the frescoes are originals. The tomb of early ruler Vladislav I Vlaicu (d 1377) stands in the main room. Vlaicu's tomb was first discovered and exhumed in the 1920s. The wall paintings, painstakingly restored in the early 20th century, merit closer inspection.
The Black Church, Brasov
The Black Church is one of the most impressive religious edifices in Romania. It is located in the center of Brasov City, Romania. Its construction began in the 14th century as a Roman Catholic structure and it was known as the Church of Saint Mary. It was built on the place of another older church. The first priest of this new church was a man named Thomas Sander. He died in 1410 and his grave can be found inside the church, in the choir area. Completed by the end of the 15th century, the church belongs to the last stages of Gothic architecture. The result was a three-nave basilica, all the same height, as was preferred during the 15th and 16th centuries in the German lands, where most of the architects and masons originated. The Catholic services were replaced with Lutheran ones during the Protestant Reformation.
Salina Turda
Salina Turda is a salt mine located in the Durgău-Valea Sărată area of Turda, the second largest city in Cluj County, Romania. Since its opening to tourists in 1992, Salina Turda has been visited by about 2 million Romanian and foreign tourists. Salina Turda was ranked by Business Insider as the most beautiful underground place in the world.
Snagov Monastery
The main attraction is the Snagov monastery, one of the alleged burial sites of Vlad the Impaler, which is located on an island on the northern part of the lake. The village was built around the monastery, where it is believed that Vlad the Impaler was killed by the Janissaries during a battle between Wallachian and Ottoman forces and then buried within the grounds surrounding the monastery.
Borgo Pass, Mt Izvorul Calimanului, Kelemen Alps.
Many believe that Bram Stoker set the location of his fictional castle in the area of the Borgo Pass, not near Brasov where Castle Bran is located. The most likely choice, based on his notes, is Mount Izvorul Călimanului, 2,033 m high, located in the Transylvanian Kelemen Alps near the border with Moldavia, at 47°08'03" North, 25°17'19" East.
Comana Monastery
Comana Monastery is a Romanian Orthodox monastery in Comana, Giurgiu County, Romania. In 1461 the original Comana Monastery was apparently founded and built by Vlad Dracula lll as a monastery-fortress, this is one of his possible burial sites.

ROB AFFUSO Says It's Fun Playing Classic SKID ROW Songs With SEBASTIAN BACH
Rob Affuso joined his former SKID ROW bandmate Sebastian Bach on stage in September 2019 at Sony Hall in New York City to perform the band's classic song "Makin' A Mess". He previously reunited with Bach to play SKID ROW songs on at least two other occasions — a 2011 show in Poughkeepsie, New York where Affuso played "I Remember You", and a 2016 show in the same city where he played "Rattlesnake Shake".
Asked in a new interview with the "Metal From The Inside" podcast if it's fun for him to get up on stage with Bach from time to time and perform some of these songs again, he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Of course it is. It's also nerve racking, to be honest, because they're up there doing it every night, and I have to remember these songs that I recorded 20 years ago, or 30 years ago. But it's great. And it's always great to see him. And it's always great to see the other guys. We're now all over the country in different places — I'm on the East Coast, Sebastian's on the West Coast, Rachel's [Bolan, SKID ROW bassist] in the middle of the country, in Nashville, Snake [Dave Sabo, SKID ROW guitarist] goes back and forth from there to New York, Scotti's [Hill, SKID ROW guitarist] in L.A. So I don't really see those guys very much. Sebastian does reach out when he comes through the New York area, or anywhere in the Northeast, and see if I wanna come by, which is really cool. I appreciate that."
Affuso — who left SKID ROW in 1998 and claims to be "the only former member that keeps in contact with all former SKID ROW bandmates and is still good friends with them all" — said in a 2016 interview that he was hopeful that the classic SKID ROW lineup could rekindle its friendships and reunite for a tour and possible new album. "I am friendly with all four other guys," he said. "I've worked hard at it. I spent a third of my life with these guys and I felt that I shared an immeasurable amount of things with them and they will always be very, very dear and important to me. Human relationships are very important to me. Those relationships with these guys were very important, so I've tried to nurture the best I can with each of them some form of relationship, however it looks. As far as everybody… I'm really not in a position to talk about that. I think everybody has had their piece and their say, and I think that there's things that probably should have been said a long time ago and weren't. And, you know, I'm not sure if I'd ever… I'd never say never, but, you know, I mean… I would certainly love to see it, but we'll see what happens. I don't know."
In June 2019, Bach issued an "open invitation" to the other members of SKID ROW's classic lineup to "get onstage and jam" during the vocalist's tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of SKID ROW's debut album. A few days later, during an interview with Finland's Kaaos TV, Sabo confirmed that he would not accept Bach's latest overture. "I'm working with my band," he said referring to SKID ROW's current lineup. "This is SKID ROW, and this is what I do."
Asked by Rolling Stone if he thinks his former bandmates are offended that he put his invitation out there publicly, Bach said: "No. I think it's an ego thing. They don't like when I get attention, and they don't get attention. It's always been like that. I can already see them getting mad, because I'm selling out shows, and they're not part of the show, and blah, blah, blah."
Bolan said last year that SKID ROW's current lineup was planning to embark on a special tour in 2021 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its "Slave To The Grind" album.

By Scott Taylor
A full-time missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, serving in the Cote d'Ivoire Abidjan East Mission — has passed away.
Elder Tshiama Anaclet Tshiama, 24, from Luputa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, Dec. 19, said Church spokesman Sam Penrod in a statement released Thursday, Dec. 23.
"Shortly after awaking in the morning, he was found unresponsive by his companion," Penrod said. "He was taken to a hospital, where he passed away.
"His cause of death remains unknown at this time, but preliminary reports suggest it is the result of an undiagnosed medical condition."
Funeral plans are still being finalized.
"We send our love to Elder Tshiama's family and to all those who served alongside him during his missionary service and pray they will feel the peace of the Savior's during this difficult time," Penrod said.


In May 1915 the Commanding Officer received orders to take the Welch (sic) Hospital overseas to India as a complete unit with staff and equipment for 3000 beds. It was known as the 34th Welch General Hospital, Deolali, India, and the nursing staff had to join The Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS).

Bali is an Indonesian island that is rich in indigenous culture. A lot pf people say that Bali culture is unique and that the people of Bali have always been contented with the "now." If you ask a Balinese person what heaven is like, the probable answer will be "just like Bali". This only goes to show that most Balinese people are happy to be where they are and never worry.
One factor that contributes to this laidback lifestyle is the culture of close family ties in Bali. In the Balinese culture, support is always available. Balinese extended families are so tightly knit that all members usually reside in the same complex.
Hinduism is one of the main religions in Bali. The Bali culture is based on a form of this religion, which is called "Hindu Darma". This religion reached the island during the eleventh century. Most of the family customs and traditions as well as community lifestyles of the Balinese people are influenced by this. The religious influence even expands widely into the arts, which makes Bali distinct from the rest of Indonesia.
In spite of the influx of tourists to the island, Balinese people have managed to preserve their culture. Almost every native of Bali is an artist in some form or another. Parents and villagers have passed on their skills to their children, who all seem to have inclinations either to music, dance, painting, and decor.
Another remarkable mark of the Bali culture is the series of ceremonies and rituals known as the Manusa Yadnya. This marks the different stages of Balinese life. Cremation is very popular on this island – and unlike in the West, death is a joyous and colorful event for the Balinese.
Indeed, Bali has a rich culture, making it distinctive from the rest of the islands in Indonesia.

Henry Purcell (/ˈpɜ:səl/ o /pársel/; St Ann's Lane, Old Pye Street, Westminster, c. 10 de septiembre de 1659-Dean's Yard, Westminster; 21 de noviembre de 1695) fue un compositor inglés del barroco. Considerado uno de los mejores compositores ingleses de todos los tiempos, incorporó a su música elementos estilísticos franceses e italianos, generando un estilo propio inglés de música barroca.

Biografía

Inicios
Henry Purcell nació en St Ann's Lane, Old Pye Street, Westminster. Su padre, también de nombre Henry Purcell, fue caballero de la Capilla Real, y cantó en la coronación del Rey Carlos II de Inglaterra. Fue el mayor de tres hermanos, de los cuales el menor, Daniel Purcell (fallecido en 1717), fue igualmente un prolífico compositor.
Tras la muerte de su padre, en 1664, Henry Purcell quedó bajo la custodia de su tío Thomas Purcell (muerto en 1682), quien mostró por él cariño. Thomas era asimismo caballero de la Capilla del Rey y gestionó la admisión de Henry como miembro del coro. Henry estudió primero con Henry Cooke, maestro de los niños, y luego con Pelham Humfrey, sucesor de Cooke.

Se dice que Henry Purcell comenzó a componer a los 18 años de edad, pero la primera obra que puede ser identificada con certeza como de su autoría es la Oda para el cumpleaños del rey escrita en 1670 (Las fechas de sus composiciones son a menudo inciertas, a pesar de la considerable investigación). Después de la muerte de Humfrey, Purcell continuó sus estudios con el Dr. John Blow, mientras asistía a la Escuela de Westminster. En 1676 fue nombrado ayudante organista de la Abadía de Westminster y compuso obras como Aureng-Zebe, Epsom Wells y La libertina.

En 1675 escribió varias canciones para Aires, canciones y diálogos elegidos de John Playford y también un himno de nombre actualmente desconocido para la Capilla Real. Gracias a una carta escrita por Thomas Purcell, sabemos que el himno fue escrito para la excepcional voz del reverendo John Gostling, entonces en Canterbury, pero posteriormente Caballero de la Capilla del Rey. Purcell escribió muchos himnos en diferentes momentos para esta extraordinaria voz, un bajo profundo, que se sabe tenía una tesitura de al menos dos octavas completas, desde re2 hasta re4. Se conocen datos de unos pocos de estos himnos; quizás el más notable ejemplo es They that go down to the sea in ships, compuesto en agradecimiento por un providencial salvamento de un naufragio sufrido por el rey en el Solent. Gostling, que acompañaba en la oportunidad al rey, reunió varios versos de los Salmos en forma de himno y le pidió a Purcell que compusiera la música. La obra resulta todavía hoy de una interpretación muy difícil, incluyendo un pasaje que atraviesa toda la tesitura de la voz de Gostling.

En 1677 compuso la música para la tragedia de Aphra Behn Abdelazar y en 1678 una obertura y mascarada para la nueva versión de Shadwell sobre Timón de Atenas de Shakespeare. El coro de La libertina «In These Delightfull Pleasant Groves» se interpreta frecuentemente. En este año se convirtió en compositor de la orquesta de cuerda «Violínes del Rey».

Plenitud
En 1682, John Blow, organista de la abadía de Westminster desde 1669, renunció a su cargo en favor de Henry Purcell, quien en esa fecha tenía 23 años.

En 1682 Purcell contrajo nupcias con Frances Purcell y al año siguiente fue nombrado organista de la Capilla Real y constructor de los Órganos Reales.
Purcell, entonces, se dedicó enteramente a la composición de música sacra, y por seis años restringió su conexión con el teatro. Sin embargo, durante la primera parte de aquel año, probablemente antes de asumir el cargo, produjo dos importantes trabajos para las tablas: la música para Teodosio de Nathaniel Lee y para Esposa virtuosa de Thomas D'Urfey.

En 1689, Purcell compuso la ópera Dido y Eneas, que constituye un importante hito en la historia de la música dramática inglesa con la famosa aria «Lamento de Dido», y más tarde algunas otras semióperas, como la desarrolladísima The Fairy Queen (La reina de las hadas). Dido y Eneas fue escrita según un libreto de Nathum Tate, quien lo desarrolló a petición de Josiah Priest, profesor de baile que también dirigía una escuela de señoritas, primero en Leicester.

Muerte
Purcell murió el 26 de noviembre de 1695 a la edad de 36 años, en la cumbre de su fama. Poco después, su esposa recopiló varias de sus obras, las cuales se publicaron en dos famosos volúmenes: Orpheus Britannicus I (1698) y II (1702).

Fue enterrado en la abadía de Westminster, debajo del clavicémbalo que tanto tiempo tocó. Su epitafio dice: «Aquí yace el honorable Henry Purcell, quien dejó esta vida y ha ido a ese único lugar bendito donde su armonía puede ser superada».

Obra
El catálogo de Henry Purcell comprende un total de 861 obras. Su obra recibió la influencia de tres estilos:
 La música inglesa. El padre y el tío de Purcell eran músicos ingleses. No tuvieron contacto con otros estilos.
 La música francesa. Los maestros de Purcell estudiaron en Francia y tuvieron claras influencias de este estilo.
 La música italiana. Desde 1680 hubo un gran auge de la música italiana en Inglaterra y Purcell estuvo ampliamente expuesto a ella.

Música instrumental
Esta música tiene dos claros estilos en Purcell: el tradicional y el italiano, este último muy dominante en sus sonatas. Destacan sus ocho suites, unas veinticinco marchas y piezas para clavicémbalo y sonatas para violín.

Música religiosa
Con clara influencia italiana, la obra eclesiástica de Purcell se divide en tres géneros:
 El Full Anthem. Compuestos antes de 1683, se trata de motetes tradicionales, complejos y laboriosos.
 El Verse Anthem. Escritos en sus últimos años bajo el estilo francés.
 Secciones corales. De carácter grandilocuente.

Música profana
Purcell compuso varias odas reales con motivo de algún acontecimiento importante de la nobleza o del rey (algún cumpleaños o retorno). Su habilidad en este género creció prodigiosamente desde 1680. Cabe citar sus dos odas para el cumpleaños de la reina Mary y la Oda para el día de santa Cecilia (1692). Además compuso anthems profanos como «Mi corazón me está dictando» y canciones: «Música para un rato» (Music for a while, 1692), «Ninfas y pastores» e «Himno nocturno».

Música Incidental
Purcell tiene un atractivo catálogo de música incidental para el teatro. Se trata de danzas y act tunes: Distressed Innocence, Abdelazer, The Married Beau. Sólo escribió una ópera propiamente dicha, Dido y Eneas (1689). Sus otras obras son «semióperas»: La profetisa, o La historia de Diocleciano («Dioclesian», 1690), El rey Arturo («King Arthur», 1691), La reina de las hadas («The Fairy Queen», 1692), Timón de Atenas («Timon of Athens», 1694), La reina india («The Indian Queen», 1695) y La tempestad («The Tempest», 1695).

Wednesday night, the Washington Capitals continued recent winning ways by extending their current streak to five games, securing a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers to do so.
The Caps out-shot the Flyers 35 to 30.
Andre Burakovsky scored his tenth goal of the season, giving him six points in his last eight games. This is the fourth season in a row that Andre has recorded a double digit goal total.
Congrats to Nick Jensen as he recorded an assist on Nicklas Backstrom's goal which was his first point as a Washington Capital.
Another great game from the third line. The Caps got 70-percent of the shot attempts and scoring chances at five-on-five with that trio on the ice. Carl Hagelin also recorded his first assist with the team.
With tonight's win, his 250th of his career, Braden Holtby has become the second fastest goaltender in NHL history to record 250 wins. He's one of just 56 goaltenders in NHL history to reach the mark, and one of 12 active goaltenders. pic.twitter.com/fggFwfrtzY
— CapitalsPR (@CapitalsPR) March 7, 2019
Somehow Natural Stat Trick has the Caps with only five high danger chances at five-on-five through two periods. I'm not sure I was watching the same game as the ole calculators.
The Caps now move on to Friday and have yet another Metro Division foe to take down in the New Jersey Devils. The Devils currently sit at the bottom of the division and have lost four games in a row.

What started off as studies of the Australian landscape, 'Spring, Hill End' is reflective of the harsh Australian climate. I emerged myself in the countryside, namely Hill End for a workshop with Luke Sciberras. This gave me so much inspiration to embrace a different colour palette and return to real expression through line.
With the sun causing dark shadows, it pushes me to embrace an autumnal palette for this oil + acrylic on board piece. Focusing on the effects that sun and time make on the flora and fauna that surround me.
A print to add to my 'woven' series. Working with a brighter palette, I have experimented with printing and using linen as my surface. The finish for this floral print is phenomenal, with a huge amount of depth and texture.
A lighter, more airy painting that belongs within the 'woven' series. Creating bolder strokes with a lighter palette, playing the hard against the soft.
Seeking inspiration from the outdoors, I created 'Ilona' looking at the same imagery at different times of the day. A bright morning sun in summer on fresh dewy florals, then later in the day – focusing on the light that falls at different ends of the sun spectrum. What is fresh versus what is dry and burnt.


I have 7 years experience working with both men and women from over 20 countries. As an Integrative Therapist I use skills from a number of different models including Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Art Therapy, Gestalt and a Psychodynamic approach.
I have a special interest in the effects of trauma and attend regular training and conferences to ensure my practice is safe and current.
I have a wide range of life and clinical experience including accessing therapy myself when situations have become too challenging to manage on my own. It is from these experiences that I have developed the way I offer therapy to my clients.
I understand how daunting it can be for both first timers and for people coming back to therapy. Taking that step and making a commitment to work towards positive change can be complicated and feel scary. It can be so difficult in these ever-changing and highly competitive times to find time to explore some of the troubling thoughts and experiences that may be presenting themselves, let alone divulging them to a stranger. For this reason I offer a reduced fee for the assessment session, giving us both the opportunity to meet and decide whether we can work together. I believe that creating a safe, confidential and trusting environment where the therapeutic relationship can begin to flourish is the most important element in the beginning of therapy and throughout.
In my work as a therapist, with men and women from over 20 countries, I have learned so much about the differences between people, but even more about the things we share. I am very aware of how much culture and family has an influence on how we view our lives and challenges. I have been uplifted by witnessing the incredible resilience of the human spirit and it has shaped me as a therapist.
I have a special interest in the experience of trauma which can, sometimes, completely alter our perceptions, particularly around safety and trust.
I have found out that it is not the degree or length of the experience which determines the effect that it has on a human psyche, but the collection of life experiences which make up each of us. These are the elements to explore in therapy.
I am firmly of the belief that intrinsically we all have resources within us, and with support, these inner resources can be pivotal in self healing and confidence building and better managing life's challenges.
I attend regular group and personal clinical supervision, continued personal development and training to ensure my practice is safe and adheres to the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

She also stays busy doing volunteer work with the Summit Animal Shelter. Winter Michelle began volunteering at the shelter a few years ago playing with and giving attention to the cats and dogs. After spending time there and learning about the importance of the Shelter, she wanted to take that work to another level. Now, Winter Michelle and a couple other students teach a class, Humane Ed, once and week to second graders at the SC Elementary Schools. Her class covers the benefits of the Shelter to Summit County, the importance of spaying and neutering pets, how to approach a dog or cat safely and other topics.
Two other experiences really stood out for Winter Michelle this past year. Last summer, she attended the Rotary-sponsored Young RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) camp. While it's billed as a Leadership experience, she said it covered so many valuable areas that it's really a "Life" camp. "It was really amazing," noted Winter Michelle, "I learned so many life lessons that I apply day-to-day and in supporting my volleyball team." She highly recommends all Peak 7th graders apply. During the Winter Break, she was the youngest person to attend Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Andrew Weil's alternative healing and body/mind connection seminar, Journey Into Healing, at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing in Carlsbad, CA. Besides getting to meet and learn from the author, speaker and alternative healing guru, she really enjoyed learning mindful meditation and loves to share her experience and all she learned with her peers.
With such a strong and diverse background, Winter Michelle is an asset to our Peak community. We can't wait to see what she's up to next!

About Choctaw Religion

Choctaw is a well-known Native American tribe. It is considered to be one of the five civilized tribes because it was quick to adopt many of American customs and technological advancements. Choctaws belong to the Muskogean linguistic group. Originally, Choctaws did not practice the Christianity religion. Instead they had their own religion with principles similar to the Mayans and Incas.
The root of the Choctaw religion is based around the sun and worshiping it. Members of the ancient tribe considered the sun to be a god, most often called Hashtahli. The moon was thought to be his wife. The tribe referred to her as Hashi Ninak Anya, and believed the stars at night were the children of the sun and the moon. Fire is extremely important in the Choctaw religion because it is considered to be a secondary representation of the sun and its heat. Four is a significant number to the religion because there are four seasons and four cardinal directions, as well as four key elements. The tribe has always acknowledged the presence of evil in the world, but they did not consider it to be from a single source, such as the devil in Christianity. Instead, there were said to be several different entities of evil and mischief, such as Impashilup, who was capable of consuming a person's soul if they allowed him into their thoughts as well as many others who could be found anywhere from the river to the woods. When a Choctaw dies, it is believed that their spirit goes to "the Happy Land" similar to heaven in Christian beliefs.
Ancient Choctaws are believed to have descended from the continent LeMuria, which is believed to have been washed away by the Pacific Ocean. It is said the tribe emerged from the ocean to be dried by their deity, the sun, and then moved east before settling in what is now the state of Mississippi. It is believed the tribe is possibly related to the Aztecs and Mayans, as well as the Incas and that their religious beliefs stemmed from those of these ancient cultures.
There are basically two main groups within the Choctaw tribe. The first is simply referred to as "the tribe" and can mainly be found in Mississippi. The other group is called "the nation" and presides in the state of Oklahoma. Both sects of the tribe share the same religious background because both originally are from the same area.
The Choctaw religion deems women as the givers of life because they bear children and are responsible for growing the vegetables. Therefore it is somewhat of a matriarchy in that when a man marries a woman, he becomes a member of her family and lives with them from that point on. He is never considered an actual member of the family because he continues to be a member of his own mother's family. Still, he stays with the family and works with them. Men are considered to be takers of life because they hunt and kill the food the tribe eats.
The religious beliefs of the Choctaw tribe have evolved over time. Today most members of the tribe practice at least some version of Christianity. This is most likely due to the tribe's integration into European American culture. Still, there are some who continue to practice the ancient Choctaw religious beliefs.

The CSI Character Everyone Forgets Channing Tatum Played
Arturo Holmes/mg21/Getty
By Leo Noboru Lima/Jan. 7, 2022 11:05 pm EST
From the premiere of the original series' first episode in 2000 to today, the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" franchise has evolved into one of the biggest, longest-running, most sprawling media franchises in the history of American entertainment. In addition to the original, Las Vegas-set "CSI" series, which ran for 15 seasons and 337 episodes, the franchise has spawned four spin-off shows — "CSI: Miami," "CSI: NY," "CSI: Cyber," and epilogue series "CSI: Vegas" — plus board games, video games, countless tie-in novels and comic books, and even a traveling exhibition (via CBS PressExpress).
It's no wonder that so many varied stars have made guest appearances in the "CSI" universe throughout the years, from A-list actors like Amanda Seyfried, Michael B. Jordan, and Chris Pine to musicians like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and P. Diddy to ... uh, general celebrities like Kim Kardashian. And one particular star you may be surprised to remember once guest-starred on a "CSI: Miami" is actor, dancer, funnyman, and all-around showbiz wiz Channing Tatum.
Channing Tatum played a wannabe white rapper on CSI: Miami
On the Season 3 "CSI: Miami" episode "Pro Per," aired on September 27, 2004, the Miami CSI team led by Horatio Caine (David Caruso) and Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter) is faced with the case of a woman gunned down by an unknown shooter during a beachside party. As they pursue the leads on the case, they eventually find themselves aboard the boat from which the shooter opened fire.
There, they find Bob Davenport, an aspiring white rapper who claims to have found the boat abandoned and availed himself of it after everything had gone down. And, in a pitch-perfect act of casting for a white rapper in 2004, Davenport is played by a fresh-faced, 24-year-old Channing Tatum.
Interestingly, this would appear to have been the only TV role that Channing Tatum — who started out as a dancer and model — played in his pre-movie stardom days. Not only was it his screen acting debut outside of music videos and commercials (via IMDb), but arguably, his next major TV appearance only came eight years later. He was the host of the February 4, 2012, episode of "Saturday Night Live," and at that time, he was already world-famous for his film roles. Models-turned-actors really do tend to have a foot in the door and a different career trajectory than most, but even so, it sure was quite the meteoric rise for Tatum.

Raytracing , invented by Whitted in the early eighties, introduced a firstglimpse of photo-realism in computer graphics. Over the years manyextensions of the basic raytracing algorithm such as Monte-CarloRaytracing or Photon Mapping were developed and enabled the simulationof more and more complex phenomena such as realistic materials, causticsand diffuse inter-reflections.
While the quality of the images generated by such so-called globalillumination algorithms now closely resembles photographs, the maindrawback of the methods is still their high computational cost (complexscenes take hours or even days). Therefore current research focuses oninteractive or even real-time raytracing. By algorithmic improvementsand exploitation of the power of modern GPUs several steps towards thisgoal have already been made.
In this practical course, we will first cover the basics of current globalillumination algorithms. Based on this overview, we will implement astandard raytracing and a Photon-Mapping algorithm and discuss recentdevelopments in the field of interactive raytracing.


I would say that we haven't always been the type to make a huge deal out of birthdays. With so much attention going toward the baby these days I thought Minda deserved an awesome celebration to remind her how much she is loved.
I am so grateful that all of her family were able to celebrate this special day with us. It just gives me another reason to love being home in Dallas. I know that Minda had a great day, and I hope five is the best year yet!

Big Picture: Once Financially Strained, Many States Now Benefiting from Fiscal Windfalls
We share this reporting by Politico because states' broader financial gains affect the fiscal climate in which Medicaid is funded, given that it is a state-federal partnership. This information could be beneficial to our members as they advocate for their Medicaid-funded programs.
"As the coronavirus tore across America last spring, elected leaders and economists feared the worst: the pandemic and resulting financial turmoil would devastate the budgets of states across the nation. Governors pleaded with Washington for a massive bailout. States borrowed billions to close the gap. And Mitch McConnell told them all to go bankrupt.
Now, cash is raining down on state capitals as the economy rebounds faster than virtually anyone expected.
The rich got richer as the stock market boomed. Businesses are begging workers to come back, juicing pay and raising prices to cover the costs. And Congress, in the end, did come through with a mountain of aid meant to plug deficits from Honolulu to Augusta.
Governors and lawmakers, who months ago thought they would be making deep cuts to their budgets, are instead facing the very unusual problem of how to spend bundles of money. These state leaders, emboldened by the brighter tax revenues and the hundreds of billions of dollars provided by the federal government, are launching transportation projects, cutting stimulus checks and even paying down debt.
That's not to say the needs weren't significant, or that every state has since seen the same surge in revenue. All incurred massive costs from the pandemic, and the need for social programs only increased as the poorest Americans were hit the hardest.
But from coast to coast, governors and lawmakers who were preparing to make difficult, politically-challenging moves are now faced with a surprise windfall. This is leading to partisan and intraparty feuds in statehouses over what to spend the cash on, and when, and setting up kitchen-table debates over what's more important: Spending money now to boost the economy or saving for future problems.
States sharply reduced their revenue forecasts when the pandemic hit, some by as much as 20 percent, according to Brian Sigritz, director of state fiscal studies at the National Association of State Budget Officers. Since that time, cash collections have come in above forecasts in nearly all instances, he said.
Then multiple rounds of federal stimulus funding were successful in lifting up the nation's economy, and in turn, helping states stabilize and even increase tax collections. Direct and indirect aid to states came on top of that. In all, states and localities saw some $350 billion in direct aid from the American Rescue Plan that must be spent by the end of 2024, plus additional aid to support schools and vaccine distribution.
The pandemic also exposed some tough truths: the turmoil disproportionately hurt low-wage workers, who pay much less into the states' tax coffers, while middle- and high-income earners fared much better, resulting in the better than anticipated tax receipts for 2020 and a strong rebound this year.
To be sure, not all states are in such a rosy position. Places that are highly reliant on tourism, like Nevada and Hawaii, were hit harder than most other states. According to the Urban Institute, from the time period of April 2020 through March 2021, actual revenue collections are still below what they were a year earlier in 17 states."


On 1 September 2017, the KEI legislation for claims with mandatory representation (Civil 1.0) will enter into force at the courts of Gelderland and Central Netherlands. From this date, litigation will only be processed digitally in these courts.
In principle, the KEI legislation for Civil 1.0 procedures will be rolled out nationally at the other first instance courts five months later. The pilot period may also be extended. In that context, in a progress report of 15 May 2017, the Minister of Security and Justice emphasized that care and reliability are paramount and that there are various decision making moments before further KEI legislation comes into effect.
In the run-up to Civil 1.0, a pre-pilot at the courts of Gelderland and Central Netherlands took place in cooperation with law firms involving a total of 17 mock cases. In addition, on the basis of the experimentation provision which is included in the KEI legislation, three real cases have been processed by the pilot courts.
Originally, it was hoped that Civil 1.0 would start earlier than 1 September 2017, but the Judiciary and the Dutch Bar Association decided to extend the pre-pilot and start the mandatory phase of digital litigation only once both parties felt that the system was 'ready for it'. See the previously published blog 'The start of KEI: introduction of digital litigation'.
At the start of the mandatory phase of digital litigation, there will be a large group of lawyers who do not have the pre-pilot experience and for whom digital processing is entirely new. This may cause some 'teething' problems.
In his advice of 13 April 2017, the Chairman of the Judiciary stated to the Minister of Security and Justice regarding the (partial) entry into force of the KEI laws that the Judiciary will adopt a reasonable attitude towards digital litigation. In addition, civil courts have agreed to a recommendation from the Judiciary on excusable failure to meet the deadline.


I totally agree that we should have and maintain good habits while learning English in order to gradually improve our skills. I'm a self-studying learner of English, and every day I have this habit of thinking in English. I think it has been helping me a lot. But still, I feel like I need to do much more than that to perfect my English skills. What would be your suggestions for me? FYI, I'm a Vietnamese and English is not widely used in my country.
I consider very important to develop good habits, mainly when we study a new language.

Peter Camejo dies - an advocate for the poor and oppressed
Third-party political activist and former Fourth Internationalist
Sunday 14 September 2008, by Duncan Chapel
Peter Miguel Camejo, a leading figure in the Green party and its vice-presidential candidate in 2004, died at home in California on September 13. He had been a leader of the Fourth International during the 1970s.

The 2004 Nader-Camejo campaign was covered repeatedly in International Viewpoint, and eventually won 460,000 votes.
Catherine Cartier shared the sad news with us. "It is with great sadness and regret that I have to inform you that Peter Camejo died this morning. Peter decided that he would be more comfortable at home, and the doctors agreed. Arrangements were made, and ultimately Peter returned home yesterday. Peter's health had declined rapidly over the last two days due to the aggressiveness of his cancer and the strength of the drugs used to combat his disease. His wife was at his side when he passed peacefully this morning.
Peter is survived by his wife Morella, his daughter Alexandra, his son Victor, three brothers Antonio, Daniel, and Danny, and three grandchildren Andrew, Daniel and Oliver.
Arrangements and memorial services will be announced at a later date. As a courtesy, the family requests that there be no calls at this time."
Numerous obituaries have been published, including by The Sacremento Bee, Louis Proyect, the San Francisco Chronicle and by Indymedia, which described him as "an advocate for the poor and oppressed".

According to Hilde, this was inspired by drinking iced almond coffee on the beach with good friends. All we can say is that must have been some really special coffee and some really nice friends, because this sensuous scent evokes a feeling of true euphoria. Orgasmo has that hypnotic effect where you always want to take one more sniff… just one more. A must have for almond lovers.
There is one review of Momenti : Orgasmo.
Despite its provocative name, Hilde Soliani Orgasmo is a rather straightforward blend of almond and amaretto, catering to both gourmand and liqueur lovers.
I'm personally a fan of amaretto in particular (in addition to sweet gourmands, generally), so Orgasmo is a welcome fragrance to me. It captures much of the sweetness of amaretto but it does not have its boozy bite, so as with most successful boozy interpretations, this is well-done. It's creamy and indulges the dessert-lover while being loyal to the nutty liqueur that is its inspiration.
Performance is strong and the pricing is the standard $160 for 100ml via Luckyscent, wholly reasonable for a niche quality fragrance that lasts well and pleases.
There are no member images of Momenti : Orgasmo yet. Why not be the first?
