Jose Mourinho and Manchester United visited Northampton for the League cup game on Wednesday night and as expected it prove to be a tough task. United started stronger with Michael Carrick scoring inside first 20 minutes but United failed to build on their lead and were punished just before the break when Northampton scored to make it 1-1. Ander Herrera however Put United back in lead midway through second half.
18′ 0 – 1 Michael Carrick scores with a superb strike in 18th minute of the game to put United in lead.
42′ 1 – 1 Alexander Revell scored after Daley Blind committed a foul inside the box and Revell scored just before the break.
68′ 1 – 2 Ander Herrera scores with first time finish to make it 2-1 for United.
75′ 1 – 3 Marcus Rashford came on as second half sub to score United's third and settle the tie.
After United's best start to the season in years, they have somehow managed to get themselves under massive pressure and all that started with that defeat against Manchester City after the international break. Narrow defeats against Feyenoord and Watford followed resulting pretty much crises situation for Jose Mourinho so early in the season. There are problems at United and its clear to see but if there was one man who can get them out of this mini crises its Mourinho. They start with League Cup game which will be followed by all important away game against Leicester City.
United are likely to make several changes to starting lineup with Rashford expected to start upfront with Lingard, Mata and Memphis Depay playing in attacking roles. Ander Herrera and Morgan Schneiderlin to take central midfiel roles and we might see Daley Blind starting alognside Smalling or even Michael Carrick. Darmien and Rojo to start in fullback positions and De Gea might be rested.
Northampton Town do not represent much of a threat but neither did Feyenoord or Watford where United were widely expected to win. The current situation at United has allowed teams to bully them and League one side Northampton Town who has only lost 1 game so far this season will provide a tough task specially with number of changes expected in United ranks.
Surely Mourinho can not afford another defeat and I expect United to get through this game with a win one way or the other which will restore some faith both in players and fans alike.

Nokia today initiated legal action against French handset maker Sagem and Spanish phone manufacturer Vitelcom, alleging both have infringed its intellectual property and trade-dress rights.
Nokia's action against Sagem centres on allegations that the French company has essentially ripped off its styling with the Sagem X5-2 handset, which certainly has something of the Nokia 8310 and the 6600 about it.
The Finnish company is seeking not only a ban on the sale of the X5-2 but also unspecified monetary damages from its competitor.
It also wants cold hard cash - again, unspecified - from Vitelcom, which it accuses of stealing its GSM and GPRS technology, protected by patents.
The lawsuits mark a shift in Nokia's approach to competition. The Sagem and Vitelcom actions are the believed to be the first such brought by the phone maker against rival designs that come close to its own.


Why Do Our Best Stories Involve Property Destruction?
After a very long day of work, school, and freelance copy-editing, I looked forward to taking a long, hot shower and reading a book in bed.
I knew immediately who the guilty party was and would deal with him in the morning. In the meantime, I didn't relish having to tell Rick, who was at his night class after a long day of work and doing an emergency repair on our roof.
Which kid kept flushing paper towels down the toilet and we had to keep snaking the drain?
Which little boy took his crayons and colored on EVERY living room wall when I took a quick bathroom break?
Which kid was it who dropped toilet lid into the tank which busted a huge whole in the bottom that caused that massive water leak in the downstairs ceiling?
After the laughter subsided and Rick fell asleep, I realized at the time we were angry and annoyed. The kids didn't listen which cost us money and time, and resulted in more work for Rick. But in time, we laughed at the memory.
This morning, when the two innocent parties saw the towel rod in the bathroom and learned it was caused by someone trying to zip-line his way out of the shower, we had a good laugh…after the guilty one was lectured and disciplined, of course.
I guess the lesson in this is to learn to laugh at life's challenges. Quite a few of them become quite funny given enough time. I just wish our funniest family stories didn't involve property destruction.
How about you, reader? What's something that really toasted your biscuits at the time but is funny now?


Shock and sadness overspread Camp Keyes in Augusta this week with the unexpected passing of longtime Maine Army National Guard leader, Lt. Col. Michael J. Backus of Wilton. Backus died unexpectedly on Monday while performing duties at Camp Keyes. According to the Lewiston Sun-Journal, Major Michael Steinbuchel, spokesman for the Maine Army National Guard, said "the cause of the death is still under investigation."
Backus, 44, is survived by his wife and three sons. He had graduated from Mount Blue High School in 1986 and from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1990. He later attended flight school and served as an Apache helicopter pilot. He flew medevac helicopters with the 112th Medical Company in 2003 while the unit was deployed to Iraq.

What Africa can expect from the US in foreign policy

In the wake of controversial picks for Trump's cabinet, the spotlight turns to his appointed choice for Secretary of State, the highest diplomatic rank in the United States government. After a brief interlude with Mitt Romney, which would certainly be a favourite pick among Republicans, Donald Trump showed that he would continue with his anti-establishment agenda and decided instead to recommend Rex Tillerson for the role.
Rex Tillerson is an experienced executive of the oil and gas industry, with 41 years of tenure in ExxonMobil. Tillerson ascended to become the company's chairman and CEO in 2006, roles that he occupied until the end of 2016 when he finally left the company. He was nominated US Secretary of State in early February.
However, more than one month into the role, a large number of vacancies in the US State Department are still to be filled. Adding this to the isolationist rhetoric Trump has been preaching and to the recent proposed cut in funding to the State Department, makes one think that American foreign affairs will not be a top priority in the Trump presidency.
American policies on Africa – what to expect
The White House's policies towards Africa have usually been the result of bipartisan consensus. In 2003, during the first term of George W. Bush, the US started a governmental initiative to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic, tuberculosis and malaria, with a primary focus on Africa. The programme was renewed three times and still remains active.
In 2010, President Obama launched the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), which provides education and networking opportunities to African students with leadership potential. The programme includes a fellowship to study in the US for six weeks, follow-up resources, and student exchange programmes.
Obama also launched the Power Africa programme. The US$9.7bn initiative started in 2013 with the goal to add 30,000 megawatts of power and supply electricity to 60 million households by 2030. The programme aims to bridge the private sector and governments. However, it was reported in September 2016 that the project had only provided $131.5m towards the effort, and hadn't approved any additional financing since July 1, 2015. The slow-down in growth of many African countries where Power Africa is planned to take place, also made private investors more risk-averse and less likely to engage in the enterprise. The project is facing delays and, with a Trump administration focused on "America first", there is a good chance that it may end up getting cancelled all together.
Another policy that may face bumpy roads in the following years, is the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). Set up by Congress in 2000 and renewed until 2025, AGOA is a nonreciprocal trade preference programme that provides duty-free treatment to US imports from 39 sub-Saharan African countries.
Imports from the countries under AGOA represent slightly more than 1% of total US imports and are largely concentrated in energy-related products, with oil accounting for 68% of US imports from AGOA beneficiary countries in 2014. In the current scenario of growing oil and gas production within the US and less dependence on petroleum imports, the main product Africa was offering through the AGOA becomes less relevant.
Although President Trump is not allowed to fully cancel this law, he can dictate which countries are eligible to participate in the agreement and, to some extent, which products are included in the trade benefit list. What was planned to become a stepping stone for bilateral trade agreements between the US and sub-Saharan African countries, may fall short on this objective. The isolationist direction Trump is steering America towards will very likely create tougher conditions for African counterparts. Trump may try to instate a more balanced agreement, with reduced benefits for the trading partners.
However, the most evident changes in the relationship between African countries and the US are likely to emerge on the democracy and security aspects of US foreign policy. The recent immigration ban on seven countries of Muslim majority, three of them in Africa (Libya, Sudan and Somalia), is a clear example of this change in focus. The war on terror seems to have gained new and more destructive proportions with the current Trump administration.
Rex Tillerson will carry the message of an increasingly isolated America. Given the various times Trump changed his mind or contradicted himself, it would be wiser for countries dealing with the US to think more on short-term strategies rather than long-term commitments.
It is likely that fewer philanthropic programmes will be started during Trump's term. The steps Trump has been taking in office show that America under Trump is marching towards isolationism, with a really short-term perspective on the ramifications that will arise from this new position. Trump will cut down or try to postpone any welfare programme that does not clearly benefit the US at first, regardless of possible long-term gains for his country.
African nations will find a position of strength by working together, as economic blocs. That gives more leverage to African countries in trading negotiations with the United States, as they will act as a larger market pursuing common interests. As economic blocs, African nations will force the US to strike multilateral deals rather than broker agreements with self-interested states.

Who was the last high priest in the Bible?
What is Ephod used for?
What does the name Annas mean?
What is the meaning of Caiaphas?
High priests, including Caiaphas, were both respected and despised by the Jewish population. As the highest religious authority, they were seen as playing a critical role in religious life and the Sanhedrin.
Caiaphas was one of five men to serve as high priest who were either sons or sons in law-of Annas, son of Seth, who was high priest from A.D. 6-15 when the Romans had previously deposed him. All evidence suggests that Annas was a powerful man even after his deposition through his family ties.
Thus, Ishmael was the last high priest to officiate in the ruins of the earthly temple (during the Bar Kokhba revolt) and the first to serve with Enoch in the celestial temple.
It was not a garment in the ordinary sense, and its association with the sacred lots indicates that the ephod was used for divination. A similar vestment, made of linen, was worn by persons other than the high priest. Samuel wore the ephod when he served before the tabernacle at Shiloh (I Sam.

Top 10 Arkansas Business Stories That Defined 2018
by Arkansas Advanced Energy | Dec 24, 2018 | 2018 News
4. COAL DECLINES; SOLAR SHINES
Arkansas' electric utilities swapped black carbon for bright sunshine, dipping below 50 percent in reliance on coal for power generation in 2018.
And plans call for coal to stay on the shelf.
"No new coal, I think we can make that declaration," said Andrew Lachowsky, vice president of planning and market operations for Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corp., noting an industrywide turn toward renewables and low-cost natural gas generation.
The state's electric co-ops still use coal for more than half of their power, but it provided just 47 percent of total state power in September, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported. Gas generation was 28 percent; nuclear power 17 percent, all from Entergy's Nuclear One at Russellville; hydroelectric, solar and wind renewables together made up about 7 percent.
Entergy, with 700,000 customers in Arkansas, got just 4 percent of its electricity from coal plants this year, down from nearly 20 percent a decade ago. Southwest Electric Power Co., serving 120,000 meters in west Arkansas, gets 45 percent of its power from coal, and that total is falling.
"We have RFPs out now for more solar resources, and we're looking to do these about every year," said Kurt Castleberry, Entergy Arkansas' resource planning chief.
Sued by environmentalists, Entergy agreed to shut down its two coal plants — in Redfield and Newark — by the end of 2030, even though Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge threatened the settlement with a suggestion that abandoning coal could cost ratepayers. Entergy's cost modeling says otherwise.
Entergy is tapping the state's largest solar array, the 88-megawatt Stuttgart Solar, operated by Nextera Energy Resources. The companies are partners in an even bigger array, a 100-megawatt Chicot County project to go on line in 2019.
AECC, whose wholesale power reaches 500,000 Arkansas homes and businesses, plans to buy power from a 100-megawatt system near Crossett and get 100 megawatts of wind power from a turbine project in Oklahoma. A 100-megawatt source can power about 1.5 percent of Arkansas' meters.
Companies like Entegrity, Today's Power Inc. and former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter's Scenic Hill Solar, all of Little Rock, and Seal Energy Solutions of North Little Rock had a big year installing solar projects at businesses, schools, government facilities and even farms.
They say a pending Public Service Commission decision could set the tone for solar next year. The utility regulators are setting rates for the state's "net-metering" customers, who create their own power. Advocates say a favorable return for these few solar customers — up 56 percent from 633 to 988 in calendar 2017, the last year of available data — is crucial for spurring sales to customers who use their energy savings to pay for their rooftop systems.

Josh Allen opens up on facing Bengals again
It's been just two weeks since Cincinnati's canceled game vs. Buffalo.

Share All sharing options for: Josh Allen opens up on facing Bengals again
Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images
Week 17's Monday night matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills never happened in the eyes of the NFL, but it certainly happened from the perspective of the players.
The moments that led to the game being canceled will surely be in the minds of Bills quarterback Josh Allen and every other player who was on the field with Damar Hamlin (who appears to be doing great!) when the two teams face one another this Sunday in Buffalo.
"I'm sure it's gonna be a little bit emotional," Allen told Kyle Brandt regarding the rematch with the Bengals. "I will say that I've got so much respect for the Bengals, their staff, their organization, and their players. After everything that transpired. The way that we came together and kind of talked with them—they were extremely open to the whole concept of not continuing the game and making sure that we were okay. Got a lot of respect for them."
Such a jarring and unprecedented situation has led to this weekend's heavyweight fight between two of the AFC's best. Emotions will certainly be running high after kickoff, and the team that overcomes the early nerves first may end up having the advantage.
Listen to Allen's full answer in the clip below.

Where Film Matters
Brothers Quay: In Absentia
Interview with the Quay Brothers
by Roberto Aita Volume 5, Issue 4 / September 2001 7 minutes (1729 words)
The Brothers Quay are among the few directors of animated film to have attained fame through the torturous and sometimes inconvenient road of auteur cinema. American by birth and English by adoption, the brothers, or rather twins Stephen and Timothy Quay, have, for more than twenty years, been making dazzlingly beautiful films that are at once disturbing and hermetic. Works which do not possess a definitive narrative path, but are immersed in a surreal, somnolent atmosphere caught half way between myth and nightmare.
The puppets and animated objects we find in the Quay brothers films seem to come from a mind intoxicated in an absinthe-induced high, even if the visual references recall an expressionist rationality marked by an East European sensibility. Cult objects all over the world, these films are the fruit of autonomous projects by the Quay brothers and commissions from some of the most important television stations in Britain (BBC, Channel 4), of commercial networks like MTV, and from rock stars of the caliber of Peter Gabriel.
Stephen and Timothy Quay were invited guests in Trieste as part of the event dedicated to the Galician (Central Europe) writer Bruno Schulz, whose work was the inspiration for one of their masterpieces, Street of Crocodiles. The occasion saw the Italian avant-premiere of their new film In Absentia, after the long period of inactivity following their feature film Institute Benjamenta (1995). The projection of In Absentia at the Miela Theatre, seat of a brief retrospective, at the same time stunned and fascinated the public with the extraordinary impact of image and music, the latter composed by Karlheinz Stockhausen. We met the directors on their return from an intense 'wine-tour' in the wine cellars of the old city….
Institute Benjamenta
How did In Absentia come about?
It was a film commissioned by the BBC as part of a series called "Sound on Film International," born from the collaborations between musical composer and filmmaker. Each filmmaker was assigned a musical passage which became the starting point for the construction of a short film. We worked on a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen, "Zwei Paare." The day we listened to the piece for the first time there was a release within us of a torrent of ideas and visual flashes. We then started immediately with the direction of the film without having a real and proper work plan, but developing it as we went along.
In the closing credits we learn that the film was inspired by a real life event…
For the story we based ourselves on the real life event of a woman who was enclosed in a psychiatric hospital, who would write love letters every day to a particular man. The surprising thing is that when Stockhausen saw the film at an avant-premiere he was moved to tears. We only later learned that his mother was imprisoned by the Nazi's in an asylum, where she later died. Even for us this was a very moving moment, especially because we directed the film without knowing any of this.
When considering the visual aspect of this film we can note a use of lighting which is extremely articulated, almost as if serving a narrative function…
This is in part because Stockhausen's music felt as if it was saturated in electricity, and consequently we decided to give the film a very particular type of lighting, almost divine. This way we shot almost all of the scenes with natural sunlight coming from the window in our studio, then utilizing mirrors and reflecting panels to sculpt the light according to the exigency of each scene. Being dependent on natural lighting tied us to meteorological conditions, hence we exploited the light quality which entered our studio from time to time to realize an animated sequence. Additionally we simulated the lighting phenomenon of the so-called 'heat lamp,' which was in frequent use in many regions, to represent the mental landscape of the suffering protagonist.
This use of lighting recalls, somewhat, the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and Alexander Sokurov?
In fact Tarkovsky, in the beginning of his career, made a very strong impression on us. We loved all of his films up to Stalker, and then with Nostalghia and The Sacrifice I think he may have lost some of his inspiration. Even Sokurov has directed some extremely beautiful films, like Whispering Pages, which is our favorite.
How did you end up deciding to use the cinemascope format for this film?
Because we wanted the film to match the grandeur of the music, which was also in Dolby Surround. It was an occasion for us to see our little animated objects in a scale far larger than what we were normally accustomed to. We wanted to have a striking impact on the spectator, like Stockhausen's music. So we adopted an aggressive visual strategy.
In effect, Stockhausen's music has a very powerful impact…
Stockhausen's music is so intense, and with such an impressionistic profundity; it is absolutely unlike the usually intense soundtrack, it originates from the stars, the cosmos, from something in our universe, the sounds that emanate from the universe, a pure alterity. He refers to it as a light which originates from Sirius, the Dog-Star, and you can believe it.
How did you get to know the work of Bruno Schulz and what is its relationship to your poetics?
We met him thanks to a Polish friend who introduced him to us as the "Polish Kafka." Then, naturally, we came to learn that it was not quiet the case, that they were two people similar in many respects but also different in others. The first time we read him he did not make a particularly striking impression. We found it interesting, but more from a strictly literary standpoint. Subsequently, after a second reading, it managed to make us understand animation as a type of metaphysics. Meaning that, when Schulz in Cinnamon Shops, summarizes the "thirteenth month of the year" I think I discovered a metaphor that adapts itself well to animation, or rather animation that lives on the margins of mainstream production. Animation that has not been colonized by idiots or by television. We want animation to be like a mark on the margins, a grand apocryphal, in the same sense as Bruno Schulz's work. It is a defiance we picked up thanks to his work, which has pushed us to create something of which we are quite proud.
Where does this interest in East European culture come from, something which touches practically all your work?
For us there are still unexplored corners in some obscure part of the universe. And the world of animation, puppet animation, has always had a strong tradition in this area, something very different from the Disney tradition. Auteurs like Wladyslaw Starewicz, Walerian Borowczyk, the Czech school, the Russians, have all produced works of animation that are truly fantastic.
Therefore it was the world of animation which introduced you to East European culture?
It was really the first thing that we learned, thanks to a film festival held at Philadelphia and the screenings organized by the College. And then all that musical tradition, with people like Leos Janácek, Alban Berg, Igor Stravinsky, and then Fyodor Dostoevsky with his The House of the Dead. These were for us beacons of light which introduced us to a whole constellation of stimulating and uncensored possibilities.
In your films there is often a powerful air of claustrophobia, of nightmare, somewhat like the stories of Kafka.
It is not so much a nightmare. We really believe that with animation one can create an alternate universe, and what we want to achieve with our films is an 'objective' alternate universe, not a dream or a nightmare but an autonomous and self-sufficient world, with its particular laws and lucidity; a little like when we observe the world of insects, and we wonder where the logic of their actions comes from. They can not talk to us to explain what they are doing, it is a bizarre miracle. So, watching one of our films is like observing the insect world. The same type of logic is found in the ballet, where there is no dialogue and everything is based on the language of gestures, the music, the lighting, and the sound.
What has changed in the world of animation since you made your first film?
Above all else, there has been a loss of interest on the part of committees and producers with regard animation in general. In fact In Absentia is the first animated film that has been commissioned in the last eight years, outside of a few videoclips. We directed out first film in 1995, Institute Benjamenta, and then for five years we were practically out of work. The production situation is not any better in Great Britain, because, for example, Channel 4 has really cut down on room for experimentation.
What are your future plans?
We would like to continue on the path taken with this last work, by directing In Absentia Part 2, Part 3, etc. But I think this would be practically impossible because, besides other reasons, there is no public for this type of work, especially on television. Committees are often proud of producing a film like this, but when they see the public, they change their mind. For this same reason we realized that this film, which was shot on 35mm, would be wasted if shown only on television, and hoped it would have an independent life on the big screen. We asked the BBC for the rights to distribute the film in theatres and they quickly agreed. We were able to give this film a second life, which otherwise would have disappeared in the black hole of the television archive. Anyway, in this period we have taken over the direction of some ballets, one of which is dedicated to the work of E.T.A. Hoffmann, produced by Channel 4, but in reality our desire is to continue making animated films. We have a new subject which we are shopping around, but we'll see whether it will sail.

Civil Rights Seminar in Charleston, WV May 8-9.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, May 8-9, I'll be co-presenting a civil rights seminar in Charleston, West Virginia on behalf of the National Business Institute.
The seminar is called, The Ultimate Guide to Police Liability Claims. It is ideally geared towards lawyers, but would be beneficial to anyone related to the business of policing. The seminar will come with a manual containing probably thousands of hours worth of experience and research into federal civil rights issues, and other information related to the civil liability side of policing. Attorneys for both sides of the spectrum will be presenting.
Topics include federal constitutional law related to search and seizure, excessive force, and other common issues, as well as information related to police disciplinary issues.

Search and Seizure Case From Berkeley County In The News
Last week we filed a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of John W. Orem and his wife. The Complaint alleges three civil rights violations: an illegal search, an illegal arrest, and an illegal violation of the right to privacy.
Former Berkeley County sheriff candidate sues state police
Former Berkeley Co. sheriff candidate sues police over drug arrest
Former Berkeley County Sheriff candidate files civil lawsuit against police
In the lawsuit, John Orem and his wife, Sher Orem, claim Trooper Matthew D. Gillmore, on Aug. 2, 2016, conducted an unreasonable search and seizure at their home in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
The civil suit requests the court to award damages against the defendants in an amount to be determined at a trial by jury for past, present and future medical expenses; past, present and future pain and suffering; loss of enjoyment of life; psychological and emotional distress; reasonable attorney fees and costs, as well as other compensatory and punitive damages.
John Orem told The Journal Tuesday that he did not want this to go this way.
"I made a complaint with (West Virginia State Police) and tried to get them to handle the issue within their department," Orem said in an emailed statement. "Then after a year and never sending anyone out to look into the issue or speak to anyone, they said they see nothing wrong.
"So although all officers are human and make mistakes, I believe that we need to trust our law enforcement to self-police and correct errors. If they can't do that, they force us to sue. Since the (West Virginia State Police) have immunity to civil suits, this is the only way to have them correct issues and help them to provide a better service to our community."
Copy of the Complaint
This is the photo which was uploaded to social media, while Mr. Orem was still sitting handcuffed inside the Martinsburg state police detachment. We allege this was taken and uploaded by employees of the West Virginia State Police in order to destroy Mr. Orem's reputation and political campaign.
The strategy worked well. The arrest quickly made national headlines.
A few examples:
Sheriff's candidate in West Virginia charged in heroin case – CBS News
Candidate For Sheriff In West Virginia Charged With Heroin Possession Authorities said they found John Orem unresponsive in his home. – Huffington Post
Mr. Orem was kept sitting on the bench for several hours prior to his arraignment – even though a magistrate was available to arraign him. The Complaint alleges the delay was due to the fact that the State Police contacted the media, in order to be sure they were waiting with cameras to catch Mr. Orem being perp-walked into the courthouse, with the arresting officer proudly displaying his catch. Here is a photo of the next morning's newspaper:
After both the prosecutor and the defense attorneys agreed that the arresting officer had performed an illegal search, and asked the court to dismiss the charge against Mr. Orem, this arresting officer wrote a letter to the court objecting to the dismissal. The court ignored the letter and dismissed the charge.

Excessive Force Lawsuit Filed Against Logan County Deputy
The Charleston Gazette-Mail today reported on a lawsuit we filed late last week against a Logan County police officer for the use of excessive force against Mark Messer.
Here is the article:
Lawsuit: Logan deputy's excessive force led to 17-day coma, long-term injuries
Mark Messer was never convicted of any crime. However, during his arrest, his life was changed forever due to having his skull crushed on the asphalt by a Logan County, West Virginia deputy.
When Johnson began to walk Messer to his police vehicle, Messer turned his head and asked Johnson, "Who do you work for, the State Police, or the county?" according to the lawsuit.
The deputy "aggressively" replied, according to Messer's lawsuit, then tripped Messer and pushed him to the ground. "Witnesses observed Johnson purposefully slamming plaintiff into the ground, in an apparent action in response to plaintiff's question," the lawsuit states.
With his hands cuffed behind him, Messer fell face-first onto the ground, as witnesses heard his head and face "loudly crack" on the ground and saw him "immediately start bleeding profusely," according to the lawsuit.
Here is a previous post on the plight of Mark Messer, from back when he was still in a coma:
In the news: our client is on life support after use of force during an arrest
Katrina Seabolt says she witnessed a Logan County Sheriff's deputy throw her brother to the ground about three weeks ago….
Mark Messer, 54, has been on life support in a Charleston hospital ever since an incident on Mud River Road in Logan on Aug. 18.
"It's under investigation right now," Logan Chief Deputy Mike Mayes said on Friday. "Whenever it involves use of force, this office investigates it."….
Messer's family has hired Monroe County lawyer John Bryan. He said last week that no one from the sheriff's department has reached out to the family since the incident.
"My goals are to find out what happened," Bryan said. "I want any documentation from law enforcement about the incident."
Mark Messer was forced to go through an extended period of rehabilitation. He had to relearn how to walk; how to talk. Still, he never received any communications from Logan County. Not an apology. Not a conclusion to their "investigation." Not compensation for his severe life-long medical injuries. Fortunately, he has the option of going to the federal courts to seek justice.

US Supreme Court takes up an excessive force case
Yesterday the United States Supreme Court issues a per curium opinion in a police excessive force 1983 lawsuit out of Arizona. The case was Kisela v. Hughes.
There was no new law created. Essentially, the SCOTUS was beside themselves that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals got the case so wrong. The SCOTUS reiterated some of the basic tenants of excessive force case law and explained why the officer could not be held liable under the circumstances.
A police officer shot a woman holding a knife. The woman was acting erratically, was within striking distance of a bystander, and ignored orders to drop the weapon. Pretty standard case for qualified immunity. Take the knife out of the equation, and it would be a different situation. Take the bystander out of the equation, and it would also be different (because there was a chain link fence between the officer and the suspect).

Q: How do I form a correct SQL statement? I wanted to pick and find a value from a Table A, depending on some value from Table B. How can I achieve this.
Select
    Ax
from
    TableA
where TableA.Ay = (Select
                       Bx
                   from
                        TableB
                   where TableB.By = L AND TableB.Bz = M )

A: You could try using a JOIN
Select TableA.Ax
from TableA
INNER JOIN TableB ON  TableA.Ay =  TableB.Bx
    AND TableB.By = L
        AND TableB.Bz = M

A: It looks ok
the only thing is when you are not sure that Bx only delivers one row as result
Select
    Ax
from
    TableA a
where a.Ay IN (Select
                       Bx
                   from
                        TableB b
                   where b.By = L AND b.Bz = M )

Or you must Limit the return of table b to 1 row with LIMIT 1
Also the use of aliases is helpful, for better reading and less typing

Riverside Furniture to invest $5.4 million in N.C. warehouse, distribution center
December 6, 2020 2 min read EDONS
HIGH POINT – Case goods resource Riverside Furniture Corp. is investing $5.4 million in a new warehouse and distribution center about 60 miles northeast of High Point in Caswell County. The project will result in about 50 new jobs for the area, according to an announcement made Friday by the North Carolina Department of Commerce.
The 300,000 square-foot facility is expected to reduce lead time s for the company's retailers on the Eastern Seaboard, according to the statement.
The project occurs as the company is also renovating the former YMCA building in downtown High Point for a new showroom and year-round product development center expected to open in time for the April High Point Market. The company is spending a total of about $15 million on both projects.
"Riverside's investment in North Carolina, including both the new High Point showroom and the Caswell County distribution center, is a combined $15 million, which is a reflection of our growth as a company and the expansion of service to our customer base," said Fred Henjes, President and CEO of Riverside. "Because the distribution center is situated on 50 acres of land, the campus will give us the ability to expand."
For the Caswell County expansion, the company is receiving a performance based grant of $150,000 from the One North Carolina Fund. Companies must meet job creation and capital investment targets to qualify for these funds. The grants also require a matching grant from local governments.
New positions at the facility include shipping and receiving personnel, forklift operators and warehouse supervisors. The average annual salary for these workers is projected at $39,260, which officials said will create a payroll of more than $1.9 million and is above the county's average annual way of $36,427.
"Growing companies know they can succeed with North Carolina's skilled workforce, location, and infrastructure to support their distribution operations," said North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper in announcing the project. "Riverside Furniture's increased presence fits with North Carolina's reputation as the furniture capital of the world."

Russell Domingo Wants a Winning Start
Team Bangladesh
Russell Domingo
The Bangladesh head coach eyes Test victory over Afghanistan
Team Afghanistan is set to play a Test match against Bangladesh this year. The match kicks off on September 5 and will continue until September 9. The teams will play in Chittagong, Bangladesh and the home team's head coach wants to have a winning start in the Test match. Russell Domingo asks his team to keep their guards up in the Test match. He thinks Afghanistan will be very confident entering the match.
'Their (Afghanistan) spinners are very threatening. We have seen in shorter format how dangerous they can be. It's definitely a different format but they will definitely be threatening. They have got some match-winners, like Nabi and others. Rashid is a fantastic bowler', said Domingo. 'We need to make sure that we respect them and while also score some against them because it's really important to put the pressure on their pace bowlers'.
The upcoming Test is Domingo's first Test match with Bangladesh. He was not very involved in the selection process and wants to observe how the team performs first. 'Nobody plays to lose. It would be great to start with a win. We have to focus on our process we have to focus hard on being patience and bowling in partnership against Afghanistan', Domingo adds.
The head coach also has high expectations for team captain Shakib-Al-Hasan. Domingo believes that the all-rounder can lead the team to win in the upcoming Test against Afghanistan. The odds are for Bangladesh (-666.67) to win the Test against Afghanistan (+480). Check out the latest odds on future cricket matches at Betwala.

Developing an effective strategy for the recruitment of top female talent is incredibly beneficial for businesses. Women make up approximately 51 percent of all workers in upper management and professional occupations. Currently, there are more women in management positions than men for the first time in American history with projected increases in the total world labor force by 2018. They are projected to account for 51.2 percent of the increase in total labor force growth by 2018. Many new start-up businesses are operated by women. Women make up 66% of the university population receiving the majority of college degrees. More women are attending and graduating from universities than ever before changing the make-up of our current workforce. These trends will greatly affect recruiting and hiring practices for businesses and organizations in the future. Companies that want to stay competitive should actively develop strategies or change their current one to help attract top female talent.
The first step toward marketing and recruiting women to work at your company is to review your company's strategy. A comprehensive recruiting plan should include retention, diversity training and community involvement. As you review your recruiting plan, it is probable that you will see very traditional elements focused toward hiring male candidates. You might even find assumptions built-in to your verbiage expecting employees to work traditional hours; eight-hour days and forty-hour work-weeks with bonuses and vacations. Several recent hiring surveys show that when women look for positions, they look for different benefits than men. Flexible work arrangements have been listed as a main factor in what attracts women to a company and why they would stay with a company. Many companies are now developing female specific and targeted recruiting plans. Top companies with the best record of promoting women, outperformed competitors on average from 41 to 116 percent. In a study conducted by Pepperdine University. Another study indicated that companies with the highest representation of women in their senior leadership had better financial performance as a group than those with the lowest number of women. Sounds like a no-brainer to me?
Other research suggests however that men and women use the same search mechanisms to find a job. This leads us to believe that it is how we market the job that will become critical. Be considerate as to where you post your job advertisement. There are specific websites that cater to certain groups or types of professionals. Universities and Colleges are also great places to find candidates from relevant disciplines as are professional groups or affiliations. What about the tools that are used to screen applicants? In 2006, approximately 80% of companies listed that they used some type competency-based-selection in their hiring process. The competencies however, were based on traditionally male associated behaviors. When interviewing, have the candidate give you specific examples of what they did in a particular situation, not just a certain skill that they have listed in the job description. Surveys have also indicated that even your website can be designed to appeal to men or women. Maybe a focus group may be able to help to see if your site is on the right track? The point is to be aware of simple items within your process that may alienate potential new-hires. What about looking within for existing employees? Many recruiters and hiring managers do not actively seek out female talent already working in the organization. Talk to board members or senior leaders in your organizations. They may know potential candidates already working in your company that may not be actively seeking positions. Internal hiring and development of women are critical to support and advertise your brand image which will help you attract more candidates.
A company's brand can also make a difference when marketing to women. Few organizations take the time to review how their public image is viewed by women in the market. Women often feel underserved by recruiters and organizations. This fact makes it very important to think about how your message can appeal to women. You will want to reflect that your company is a wonderful place to work and employees are valued. Specific items that women look for in job ads or during the interview may include job sharing, telecommuting, flexible work hours, and options for child care and elder care. IBM Intranet highlights over forty different examples of flexible work-arrangements in the recruiting packages. Microsoft offers the opportunity to choose what parts of flexible work arrangements they would be interested in as part of their yearly benefit allocation. Deloitte has offered changes in paternity leave and an emergency childcare plan for working parents under six-years-old. Fujitsu offers 120 percent of a mother who has returned to work after maternity leave until the child is fifteen months old to keep valuable employees.
Companies that provide collaborative work environments also seem to be good at attracting female talent. Being a socially responsible organization and demonstrated diversity practices by management may also be important factors to attract female applicants. Consider how your image reflects women in a variety of roles. Recruiters have to understand how women contribute to their organization and their communication styles. Consider using testimonials and interviews that showcase what you are doing and reinforce how work is rewarded and appreciated.
Training for your recruiters to understand the specific needs of female candidates is invaluable especially in hard-to-fill positions. Adapting your company standards and recruiting practices to be reflective of your diverse workforce might be the difference in attracting more female high potential employees. Fujitsu Services redesigned their recruitment literature for job fairs. The company feels that it has doubled the number of applications from women for their graduate programs since re-doing their brochures. The recruiters also describe what they do at their job instead of just saying they are technology consultants. This simple communication style change when delivering the message has made a huge impact. Another important aspect to include in interviewing is to explore the transfer of knowledge by asking for real-life examples. This will help find quality candidates who may have been out of the work force at different intervals in their career. Even widening the range of college degrees that qualify for a certain job may provide you with more candidates in the pool. Some computer companies have added Latin, Philosophy and Law as potential backgrounds in one IT company. They have seen a 46% rise in female applications for their company. The point, one size might not fit all.
When reviewing and developing your own strategy, consider what your company's needs are when you create your advertisements. Thoughtfully place the job posting strategically on sites or in publications that meet your placement needs. Factor in flexibility and other work benefits that will be attractors instead of detractors. Carefully review your processes to see if they alienate certain candidates from the process. Even the competencies that are used to screen applicants should be carefully reviewed for bias and fairness. Ensure that your recruiters are trained to effectively work with female applicants and meet their needs. Finally, don't rule out looking in non-traditional places for unexplored talent like internal employees, other fields of study, or employees that are returning to work. The main thing is awareness. As the work force changes and more and more women are the managers and leaders within your companies, the methods and recruiting practices that you use to attract them will have to change if you are going to stay competitive.

Strem Chemicals Expands Dirhodium Catalyst Portfolio with University of Canberra
From Strem ChemicalsSep 10 2015
Strem Chemicals, Inc., a manufacturer of specialty chemicals for research and development, is pleased to announce the addition of Rh2(S-PTTL)4 (Strem catalog 45-2105) to its portfolio of Dirhodium Catalysts.
Strem Chemicals, Inc. has licensed this technology from the University of Canberra. This is the University's first commercialization agreement for a chemical product that will be sold globally.
The catalyst, discovered by associate professor of biomedical sciences Dr. Ashraf Ghanem, is used for asymmetric, intermolecular and intramolecular C-H insertion, cyclopropanation and other reactions. It may also be useful in pharmaceutical processing.
Dr. Ghanem explained that this synthetic catalyst produces a chemical reaction that allows certain molecules to be extracted with a very high level of purity, reducing the need for additional processing and diminishing the risk of unintended side effects.
"This is important because it can help produce more effective pharmaceuticals quickly, at a reduced cost and hopefully in the future that means people are paying less for the medication they need," he said.
Dr. Ghanem said the path to commercializing his discovery has been hard work, but rewarding now that his research may be delivering a beneficial outcome to the pharmaceutical field, and in turn potentially aiding those depending on their medication.
"This commercialization deal shows that we are achieving great results in our field and that our work is offering a solution that can improve the pharmaceutical industry's access to more pure drugs," Dr. Ghanem said.
"I feel that this is what my research is meant to be doing, taking the theory from the bench to a product in the marketplace."
"Strem is pleased to be adding this tool for drug discovery and process development scientists to use in their efforts to bring new pharmaceuticals to market and make them or generic drugs more efficiently", said Dr. Ephraim S. Honig, Strem Chemical's Chief Operating Officer.
University of Canberra Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor Frances Shannon said she is proud of the work being done at the University.
"This intellectual property deal may be the first for a chemical product at the University of Canberra, but it won't be the last," Professor Shannon said.

Dosta! Go beyond prejudice, meet Roma and Travellers!
Dosta means "enough" in a variant of the Romani language spoken in the Balkans. It is also the title of an awareness-raising campaign of the Council of Europe which aims to bring non-Roma closer to Roma citizens by breaking down the barriers of deep-rooted prejudices and stereotypes.
The Dosta! campaign was launched in 2006 in the Western Balkans as part of a joint programme with the European Commission. In 2008, this campaign was open to all Council of Europe member states as of 2008.
Various Dosta! tools, including videos, radio clips, exhibitions, awards, and toolkits for media, teachers and children, have been developed and are downloadable free of charge to combat anti-Gypsyism and discrimination, fight prejudice and stereotypes and raise awareness among the general population about Romani culture, language and history.
Please consult also the country pages below for accessing information material adapted to the national context and, where relevant, tools that are available in other languages.
So join the Dosta campaign! and participate in the promotion of its messages!
Note: The term "Roma and Travellers" is used at the Council of Europe to encompass the wide diversity of the groups covered by the work of the Council of Europe in this field: on the one hand a) Roma, Sinti/Manush, Kale/Cale, Kaale, Romanichals, Boyash/Rudari; b) Balkan Egyptians (Egyptians and Ashkali); c) Eastern groups (Dom, Lom and Abdal); and, on the other hand, groups such as Travellers, Yenish, and the populations designated under the administrative term "Gens du voyage", as well as persons who identify themselves as Gypsies.

Providing an important platform for new and ambitious work from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, the ninth installment of the Abraaj Group Art Prize features "seepage/ritual," an exhibition with the work of winner Rana Begum and the three short-listed artists: Sarah Abu Abdallah, Doa Aly, and Raha Raissnia. Organized by guest curator Omar Berrada, the exhibition explores a reconfiguration of our geometries of attention through a playful engagement with literal geometry. As a companion, this publication is conceived as a parallel exhibition in book form, and contains original interventions by and in collaboration with the artists.
seepage/ritual is published on the occasion of the Abraaj Group Art Prize 2017, Art Dubai, Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, March 14-18, 2017.
