PDP Asks Court to Sack Dogara over Defection to APC
Alex Enumah in Abuja
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, to sack a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, for defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Dogara, who represents Dass, Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro Federal Constituency of Bauchi State in the House, defected from the APC to the PDP before the last general election and won a re-election to the House on the platform of the PDP.
According to court documents, Dogara, on July 24, returned to the APC after submitting a resignation letter to the PDP Chairman of the Bogoro 'C' Ward, in Bauchi State.
The PDP and its Bauchi State Chairman, Mr. Hamza Akuyam, listed as plaintiffs in the suit, marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1060/2020 are contending among others, that by virtue of Section 68(1)(g) of the constitution, Dogara, by defecting from the party that sponsored him to the National Assembly before the expiration of his tenure, ought to vacate the seat as he is no longer qualified to partake in the activities of the House.
Listed as defendants in the suit filed for the plaintiffs by their lawyer, Mr. Jibrin S. Jibrin, are Dogara, the Speaker of House of Representatives, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the APC.
Akuyam stated in a supporting affidavit that there was no crisis or division in the PDP, being the political platform under which the election of the first defendant (Dogara) as a serving member of the National Assembly was sponsored and from which he has defected to the fifth defendant (APC) before the expiration of the period for which he was elected.
He also stated that there were no mergers involving the PDP from which Dogara defected.
Akuyam added that having defected from the PDP before the expiration of the period for which he was elected, Dogara "has lost his seat/office as a member of the House of Representatives and is no longer entitled to participate in the legislative proceedings and other businesses of the National Assembly and/or entitled to salaries and allowances as a member of the National Assembly."
He said given the facts and circumstances of the case, the Speaker of the House of Representatives "is under legal obligation" to declare Dogara's seat vacant and allow INEC to conduct an election for his replacement.
The plaintiffs are praying the court to, among others, declare that Dogara has ceased to be a member of the National Assembly from the date he defected to the APC.
They want the court to direct Dogara to vacate his seat in the National Assembly and to refund all the salaries, allowances and all emoluments collected from the date of his defection from the PDP.
They want the court to direct the Speaker of the House of Representatives to give effect to Section 68(1) of the Constitution to forthwith declare Dogara's seat vacant and for INEC to conduct a by-election for his replacement.
The suit, now before Justice Okon Abang, was not heard on December 7 when it was listed for hearing.
The court has now rescheduled the hearing for March 5, 2021.

My brother made a facebook group to help get the word out about this film(two days before the film came out!). and it even got onto cartoonbrew. Also. I saw the film today. it was fantasic.
Speaking of Frank Miller, I've heard that The Dark Knight Returns is getting the animated treatment.
How about a special Blu ray release on Tex Avery's cartoons? With bonus features.
Anyone think that the fart shoes were forced in? I cant help but feel that it was forced into the film.
Topic: Brad Bird's "The Spirit"
Re: Brad Bird's "The Spirit"
^ What do you mean Ben? It can't be elsewhere on here. Perhaps your mistaking it for something else maybe?
Out of curiousity, will the blu ray release of this NOT have the morning report song in it? I was annoyed by the fact that Disney added that for no reason.
Its safe to say that Hollywood has run out of ideas.
I ended up being Tigger for some oddball reason.
I have a serious doubt that this will be in the awards(which it isn't likely). If it is, Disney obviously bribed them.
^It isn't a tex avery cartoon if people haven't sit down in their seats, xD.
The trailer itself looks like Pixar was inspired by Kells and Tarvorsky's Samurai Jack. When are we getting a good quality trailer(not that there's anything wrong with this one). I cant hear it well enough.
Is Disney's marketing still being a dud on this feature?
Hey dacey, where did you hear about seth doing a live-action movie? That one is a bit new to me.

You've Got 6 Weeks Left to Find a Job in 2013. Here's How.
Say you've got six weeks left to find a job and it is now early October. No matter how festive you may (or may not) be, vacation time for hiring managers starts November 15 (as a group, not individually). Even though most people won't start taking time off until the following week, no one is starting first-round interviews the week before everyone leaves.
Then December brings end-of-year meetings filled with annual summaries and budgeting exercises that often threaten to chop any open headcount. The December holidays? Those are a wash.
Unless you're prepared to wait until the second week of January to start looking again, it's time to kick your job search into high gear.
Make a calendar. Figure out how much time you really have. Between Thanksgiving at the in-laws, little Emily's Christmas pageant, and all the parties for Pan American Aviation Day, your dance card is packed. Nothing will light a fire under you quite like seeing just how little time you actually have. You'll also need this info when scheduling interviews.
Network aggressively. Your network is your best chance of landing a gig. Period. Reach out to former bosses, former colleagues (current colleagues are not recommended), and industry contacts. Tell them you're looking and what you're looking for, and ask them if they can help. You'll be surprised how many will be happy to do just that. A personal reference can move you past the vast queue of resumes and right to the front of the line. Need networking tips? Check out How to Network Using LinkedIn.
Check the news. There's more to digital than just Mashable, TechCrunch, and FastCompany. Keep an eye on things like Crain's Executive Moves to see who's in and who's out. If a new exec is in your network, ping them. If a company you're interested in just lost a key player and you can fill the void, ping them (the company, not the player). A company in pain is a company that's ready to hire.
Reach Out to Recruiters. By this point in the year, companies know that the hiring window is closing. Those in dire need of must-have talent often turn to recruiters to find the right hire by the end of the year. This is one of your best bets to find gigs that need to close ASAP. If you've never worked with a recruiter before, start with How to Choose the Right Recruiter for Your Job Search.
Six weeks. That's it. If the thought of starting the new year at the same desk you currently occupy kills your holiday spirit, it's time to get cracking. Besides, a new gig will finally give you something to talk about with your family during those tedious holiday dinners.

Stuart Christie (Partick, Glasgow, 10 de juliol de 1946 - 15 d'agost de 2020), va ser un anarquista, editor i escriptor escocès, arrestat als 18 anys quan portava explosius per atemptar contra Franco.

Biografia
El 1962, amb només 16 anys, Stuart es va afiliar a lAnarchist Federation de Glasgow (Internacional de Federacions Anarquistes).

Poc temps després, als 18 anys, es va traslladar des de Londres a París i posteriorment a Madrid, unint-se a Defensa Interior (DI), grup d'acció clandestí de la Confederació Nacional del Treball, implicats en l'intent d'assassinat del dictador Francisco Franco. Abans de sortir d'Anglaterra, Stuart va ser entrevistat per a un programa de televisió per Malcolm Muggeridge (prèviament conegut contacte del MI6, Servei d'Intel·ligència Secret del Regne Unit), a qui va comentar el bé que faria a Espanya lliurar-se de Franco.

Stuart va ser arrestat l'11 d'agost de 1964, ja a Espanya, mentre feia autoestop a Madrid per trobar-se amb un contacte, Fernando Carballo Blanco. Jutjats tots dos en Consell de Guerra, per possessió d'explosius, al principi la sentència va ser execució per garrot vil. L'enregistrament de l'entrevista concedida per Stuart a la televisió anglesa va arribar a Espanya i va influir en contra seva. La condemna finalment va ser commutada per 20 anys de presó per a ell i a 30 anys per Fernando Carballo Blanco.

Després de romandre empresonat durant tres anys, Stuart Christie va ser alliberat el 21 de setembre de 1967 gràcies a la pressió internacional realitzada al govern espanyol, amb el suport i l'ajuda de persones conegudes com ara el filòsof anglès Bertrand Russell o el filòsof francès Jean-Paul Sartre, al no poder-se provar els càrrecs de conspiració ni de possessió d'armes i explosius.

També va ser imputat el 1971, quatre anys després de ser posat en llibertat de les presons franquistes, de pertànyer presumptament a The Angry Brigade (Brigada Iracunda); va ser absolt d'aquests càrrecs.

En ser posat en llibertat, va tornar al Regne Unit continuant el seu activisme en el moviment anarquista. Va reformar la Creu Negra Anarquista, va fundar el periòdic Black Flag (Bandera Negra) al costat d'Albert Meltzer, les revistes Cienfuegos Press, Anarchist Review, la revista mensual de les Illes Orcades, The Free-Winged Eagle i va fundar les editorials de llibres Cienfuegos Press i Christiebooks. També gestionava un canal de televisió en línia, Anarchist Film Channel, amb més de vuit-cents documentals i films de temes llibertaris i històrics arxivats.

Christie va escriure diversos llibres i obres i va treballar com a periodista i redactor per a diversos periòdics i publicacions, com l'edició en llengua anglesa de Pravda-PRAVDA INTERNATIONAL (un famós periòdic de la Unió Soviètica, però sense comptar amb l'aprovació del comitè de redacció de Moscou) i amb Argumenty i Fakty, l'únic periòdic independent en la Unió Soviètica de l'època, considerat el periòdic que va treure a la llum la perestroika i el glàsnost.

També va editar traduccions a l'anglès de diverses obres com els tres volums de Josep Peirats, The CNT in the Spanish Revolution (traduïda per Paul Sharkey i corregida, anotada i editada per Chris Ealham) o la novel·la de ficció històrica L'home que va matar Durruti de l'escriptor Pedro de Paz.

The deaths of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, and victory at the Battle of Endor by no means spelled the end of the Empire. In the aftermath, the New Republic has faced a constant struggle to survive and grow. And now a new threat looms: a masterpiece of Alderaanian art, lost in transit after the planet's destruction, has resurfaced on the black market. Offered at auction, it will command a handsome price...but its greatest value lies in the vital secret it conceals.
He is Boba Fett, the most feared and successful bounty hunter in the galaxy, and even the most hardened criminals tremble at his name. Now he faces the deadliest challenge of his infamous career: an all-out war against his most dangerous enemies.
Somewhere in the galaxy, millions suddenly perish in a blinding instant of pain, anguish, and despair, a disruption of the Force so shocking, it is felt by Luke at his Jedi academy on Yavin 4 and by Leia at home on Coruscant. It is a deed that rivals the terrifying power of the Death Star, the long-destroyed weapon of the defeated Empire.
The Empire stands at the brink of total collapse. But they have saved their most heinous plan for last. First a plot is hatched that could destroy the New Republic in a bloodbath of genocide and civil war. Then comes the shocking news that Grand Admiral Thrawn--the most cunning and ruthless warlord in history--has apparently returned from the dead to lead the Empire to a long-prophesied victory.
Zahn is simply the best.
It is a perilous time for the New Republic. Just when unity is needed most, mistrust is on the rise. Even the Jedi feel the strain, as rogue elements rebel against Luke's leadership. When alien invaders known as the Yunnan Vong strike without warning, the New Republic is thrown on the defensive. Merciless warriors, the Yunnan Vong glory in torture. Their technology is as strange as it is deadly. Most ominous of all, they are impervious to the Force.
Princess Leia sees the mission as an opportunity to achieve a diplomatic victory for the Alliance. But it assumes even greater importance when a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi appears to Luke Skywalker with the message that he must go to Bakura - or risk losing everything the Rebels have fought so desperately to achieve.

This book is not necessary to read in order to understand future books. Well written, lacks humor, descriptions of situations gives the listener a great visual.
why make an audiobook if you're just going to cut out the story, its a great book but it's a shame it's missing.
The story is severely compromised through abridgement. The narrator talks way too fast and seems disinterested in being there in the first place. Please stop abridging these books!
Where does Star Wars: The Truce at Bakura rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
Hard to say, I've listened to a lot. It's somewhere in the middle as far as Star Wars novels go; not bad, lots of good action and interesting plotline, but not as exciting as other EU stories like the Thrawn trilogy or the yuuzhan vong war.
What didn't you like about Anthony Heald's performance?
Part of my criticism might be overly harsh because Marc Thompson does such an amazing job in later EU books, but the only thing I didn't like about this book was the narration, it made it hard to listen to at times. The inflection in the narrators voice doesn't have enough range to clearly distinguish characters. The one thing I did not like at all, and honestly irritated me quite a bit, was the portrayal of Han Solo. The narrator gives him this nasally, almost 1920s gangster sound to his voice (Gimme all yer creds, see), which is just weird. I'm actually curious as to why they would take a character portrayed by Harrison Ford, who has a deeper tone to his voice, and turn him into Lucky Luciano Solo, to the point where I'd like to ask the narrator. Also, there are times when it feels like he's speaking too quickly, to where it throws the cadence off every now and then, almost like someone who is trying to spit out the sentence they're on before they run out of breath.
Read this in paperback years ago and was excited to revisit it with this audiobook. The abridged version gets the gist of the story, but three hours really doesn't do it justice. It was sad knowing how much was missing here. Although the reading did improve dramatically after the first 20 minutes (narrator forgot to stop to breath lol), he kept pronouncing words funny ("Han", "Palpatine", etc) and his characterization of voices felt way off. It's like he'd never even watched the movies himself. My suggestion? Skip this one and grab the paperback instead.
The narration/performance left something to be desired, especially considering that I had just before, listened to Revan and Deceived, from the Old Republic series, which were masterfully done. I just don't care for abridgment I guess. Still, it was a great story and I enjoyed it thoroughly, as I'm sure any true fan would.
I read this book three times in high school and twice since I graduated. The book conveyed the horror that this alien species could possibly wipe out the galaxy and the only weapon that might have stopped them is gone. Yes that's right, the full book. The whole book made these fly ties a lot more intimidating, and helped show that time is of the essence. Also the narrator seems to not care, and especially it seems he has never seen Star Wars since he mispronounces the emperors name every time he says it.
After getting used to Marc Thompson, Johnathan Davis and January LaVoy, it's very difficult to listen to Anthony Heald. It seems like he's often rushing to get through the story, and his various voices are not that various. But it's his rushed cadence that is hardest to endure. Given that it's an abridged story, you don't have to endure for very long, but the story is choppy as a result of the abridgment. Unfortunately, it appears that a ton of the early novels are abridged and narrated by Heald. Unfortunate. Most unfortunate.
Empire still exists on some worlds.
This is a great book. Just because Vader, and Sidious are dead,some planet governments refuse to believe it. As usual, luke finds himself in danger once again from different enemies this time. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat.


Physical inactivity accelerates the physiologic effects of aging and degeneration. Physical activity can moderate these changes, thus enhancing the ability to work and play, and promoting self-care and independence. Use the ideas outlined below for starting an exercise program.
It is interesting to note that moderate regular exercise is as valuable as vigorous exercise and is a lot less hazardous in terms of injuries.
Before beginning an exercise program, you should consult your health care provider(s) to be sure you have no serious health risks.
The specific makeup of an exercise program varies among individuals. The key variable factors of exercise are frequency (how often), intensity (how hard), and duration (how long). In addition to exercising on your own, there are many types of group exercise activities in your community. Pick something you like and stick with it! For more information, see Public Health Agency of Canada's Get Active Tip Sheets.
The central part of any exercise program is aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is any activity that works the large muscle groups of the body, increases the flow of blood to the heart, and accelerates metabolic (basic body activity) rate for a prolonged period of time. Examples include brisk walking, bicycling, swimming, cross-country skiing, and dancing. Jogging is often inappropriate for older persons because of its excessive demands and high incidence of muscle and joint injuries. The key is to use your large muscle groups, especially those in your legs, in uninterrupted rhythmic motion.
Two other important concepts in exercise are maximum heart rate and target heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting age from 220. For example, a 40 year old's maximum heart rate would be 180 beats per minute. During the aerobic exercise phase of a session your target heart rate should fall within 60-80% of your maximum heart rate; therefore, their target heart rate would be 108-144 beats per minute.
Exercising at 50% of the maximum rate has also been found to be beneficial. Note that in swimming, the target heart rate should be lowered slightly.
The four parts of an exercise session (1) warm-up, (2) stretching, (3) aerobic exercise, and (4) cool-down are described below.
A good warm-up consists of 5-8 minutes of light aerobic exercise at about 40-50% of your maximum heart rate. Your muscles should be warmed-up before you attempt any stretches. Warming-up increases the blood supply to your muscles, increases their flexibility, and generally prepares your body and mind for the aerobic exercise to come.
Stretching helps to increase the length and flexibility your muscles, thereby decreasing the risk of injury during exercise. Remember, you should feel a good gentle stretch but never pain.
There are different stretches for different types of exercise. In general, stretch all of your major muscle groups including your legs, trunk, upper body arms, and neck. Your health care provider or exercise program leader can tell you which stretches to perform. For example, Bob Anderson has published an excellent book "Stretching" with routines for many activities.
To obtain maximum aerobic fitness, you should perform 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times every week. There has been some suggestion lately that the number of times per week can be less, and that at least 30 minutes per session are required. However, the figures given first are still the accepted standards. All of the aerobic exercises mentioned above, when performed often enough, will help you achieve your fitness goals. Remember, the three main factors in exercise are duration, frequency, and intensity, your goal is basically to attain your target heart rate for 20-30 minutes.
It is not generally advisable to start off with a 20-30 minute aerobic exercise session if you are just starting a new program or have been away from exercising for awhile. Work up gradually starting with 5 minutes of uninterrupted aerobic exercise three times a week, then add 2 minutes each week for 12 weeks until you can do 30 minutes.
A cool-down period at the end of the aerobic phase of your exercise session is important because it allows proper post-exercise blood flow adaptations. To cool-down, perform low intensity aerobic exercises until your heart rate returns to approximately its resting level. Following this, perform the same simple stretches you did at the beginning of the session.
Choose an enjoyable activity that can be performed year round.
Exercise at the same time of day.
Exercise at a comfortable temperature.
Do not exercise late in the evening–it can make getting to sleep difficult.
Always heed the warning signs of injury and distress such as excessive heart rate, sweating, pain (especially in the chest), dizziness, fatigue, blurred or distorted vision, and nausea and vomiting. If any of these occur, contact your health care provider immediately.
Drink water before, during, and after exercise–dehydration can be life-threatening.
Do not exercise for 1 to 2 hours after eating.
If you sustain an injury, stop exercising and do not resume until the pain has resolved. If the injury is more than simple exercise soreness (minor pain lasting only a few days), contact your health care provider. Use your judgment. Proper care for injuries can usually get you functioning again far more quickly and can help prevent degenerative conditions from taking root.
If your exercise is interrupted for more than a week due to injury or illness, back off on your exercise level and work back up to the previous level of activity.
Contact Dr. Weatherall if you have any specific concerns or questions.


The Senate Education Committee today overwhelmingly passed legislation sponsored by Senator Pat Stefano (R-32) that would provide for greater transparency in the process of hiring of school officials and ensure that taxpayers have access to employment contract information.
Stefano introduced the bill following an audit by Auditor General Eugene DePasquale last year of Connellsville School District which uncovered questionable practices and a lack of public input in the hiring of the current superintendent. The school board assured state auditors that it was conducting a nationwide search to fill the position, but days later filled the position at a meeting which was not publicly advertised. A last minute-addition was made to the agenda to hire the superintendent without public notice.
Under Stefano's legislation, when a school board extends an offer of employment to a district superintendent, assistant district superintendent, associate superintendent, or any principal, it must first post the terms of employment on the school district's public website at least two weeks prior to it being approved. The posting must provide the details of the final offer, including salary and the length of the employment contract.
Senate Bill 592 now goes to the full Senate for consideration.

Church bells to ring out on Remembrance Day
By Annette Chrysostomou November 7, 2018 0323
By ringing their bells, Anglican and Catholic churches on the island will join other nations in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I on Sunday.
The British High Commission in collaboration with the German embassy have arranged for the bells to be rang for a few minutes starting at 12.30pm to coincide when they will chime in the UK where it will be 10.30am.
"What happened when the war ended is that there was this spontaneous outburst and all church bells were rang," Alexandra Needham from the British High Commission explained. "We want to recreate this feeling of thanksgiving for peace."
There is no specific formula for how long the bells will ring or if the anniversary will be mentioned during the service on Sunday morning, it is up to each church to decide that.
There are 11 Anglican parish churches around the island, and a Catholic one in Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos.
Other events will be held on the same day around the island to mark Remembrance Day.
Two separate services will be held in Paphos to honour fallen servicemen and women on Sunday in Peyia and Paphos.
For the fifth year the Royal British Legion Paphos branch invites the public and ex-servicemen and women to attend a service at Paphos castle.
Chairman of the branch, Mark Welstead, told the Cyprus Mail that around 2,000 people, both local and tourists, attended last year's event and 2,500 are expected this year.
Meanwhile, around 600 people are expected to attend the annual Peyia remembrance service held at Peyia municipality car park.
Over 16,000 Cypriots, both Turkish and Greek, fought in WWI – roughly 25 per cent of males of military age, the majority of whom joined the ranks of the Macedonian Muleteer Corps.
Remembrance Day was first observed in 1919 throughout the British Commonwealth. It was originally called 'Armistice Day' to commemorate the armistice agreement which ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11am – the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
Many nations which are not members of the Commonwealth also observe Remembrance Day, including France, Belgium and Poland.

Reginald Joseph Mitchell, britanski letalski konstruktor, * 20. maj 1895, Stoke on Trent † 11. junij, 1937, Southampton.

Mitchell, inženir in letalski konstruktor, je zasnoval več vojaških letal. Med njimi je bil tudi S-4 Floatplane, ki je dobil v letih 1927, 1929 in 1931 Schneiderjev pokal. Neozdravljivo bolan (rak debelega črevesa) in pričakujoč svojo smrt, je bil Mitchell v skrbeh spričo vzpona in razvoja nemškega vojnega letalstva (Luftwaffe). Leta 1936 je zgradil letalo Eight-gun Spitfire. Prototip Spifireja K5054 je 5. marca 1936 prvič vzletel z letališča Eastleigh pri Southamptonu. R. J. Mitchell je bil pri krstnem letu še prisoten. To letalo je pozneje zaslovelo kot odličen lovec in je veliko pripomoglo k zmagi v bitki za Anglijo. Winston Churchill ga je imenoval »Prvi izmed maloštevilnih«. RAF ga je iz aktivne uporabe umaknil šele na začetku 50. let.
Spitfire je danes najbolj slavno in znano, po mnenju mnogih tudi najlepše letalo vseh časov.

Interior Inspection: Interior inspection of the home begins with kitchen appliances, electrical outlets, plumbing, cabinets and countertops, interior windows/doors , flooring/walls/ceilings.
The Basement inspection ensures electrical safety in the main and sub-panel boxes and also verifies proper grounding and bonding in the panels. Electrical outlets and fixtures throughout home will be checked for correct polarity and safety. In addition, older homes are checked for outdated wiring and connections. Next all heating and cooling systems are inspected for adequacy and proper distribution. Detailed instructions for any necessary filter changes and/or maintenance will be provided.
Next, an inspection of bathrooms throughout the home includes water main entrance pipe, fixtures, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, and whirlpool tubs. The bathroom exhaust fans are also inspected for proper ventilation. Attic inspection ensures proper insulation, ventilation and structure. Suggestions will be offered on how to get the most efficient performance out of your home's systems and appliances, helping you save energy and money for years to come!
What is Infrared Digital Imaging ?
Normally, our vision is limited to a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. With thermal imaging, we measure thermal energy emitted from objects. What this means to us and for our purposes is that we are able to detect heat loss and deficiencies not visible to the naked eye. We are able to determine where heat loss is occurring, where pipes are failing behind walls, areas of moisture intrusion, lack of insulation in finished walls, attic spaces and more !!


PG&E says Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection will allow the company to reorganize and try to handle potential liability for wildfires in 2017 and 2018.
Shares of PG&E crashed to $8.38 per share on the back of the bankruptcy news, plummeting more than 52%.
This comes one day after the chief executive of the company stepped down.
PG&E's regulator, the California Public Utilities Commission, began in late December to investigate whether the company should make significant structural changes, including becoming owned by the state or splitting up its businesses.
Newly-sworn-in Governor Gavin Newsom also promised that electricity and gas service would continue to millions of Californians.
PG&E's safety record has come under sharp scrutiny before. Williams had served as CEO since March 2017, before the fatal blazes.
Both lawmakers and regulators may be constrained in how much more they can help PG&E, at least by allowing it to further raise electricity rates.
California law requires utilities to pay damages for wildfires if their equipment caused the blazes - even if the utilities weren't negligent through, say, inadequate maintenance.
Republican Assemblyman James Gallagher, who represents the Camp Fire area, says PG&E had better come out of bankruptcy in very different shape.
He said addressing the pending bankruptcy, and potentially avoiding it, is a top priority for his new administration, but he hasn't settled on what actions to take.
Patterson is the vice chair of the Assembly's Utilities and Energy Committee.
The legislature and the governor could decide to allow PG&E to pass along the costs associated with victim lawsuits and other fire losses to ratepayers, as they did past year for a series of deadly northern California blazes in 2017.
"This company has been dishonest, it has prioritized profits way over safety and there has been no effort on their part to change that", he said. PG&E said the cause of that fire was still under investigation, but the agency Cal Fire is focusing on several of the utility's transmission lines and towers.
It remains to be seen how PG&E's bankruptcy will affect California's PV sector. "But victims' interests won't be served by pushing utilities into bankruptcy, converting wildfire sufferers into one more class of frustrated creditors pursuing inadequate funds".
A bankruptcy filing is not assured, the sources said. "PG&E is the state's largest investor in energy efficiency and electric vehicle infrastructure, alone, with annual commitments well in excess of $1 billion", he said.
According to Bronstein, the next billion devices will come in emerging markets, more specifically on feature phones. Google says it's looking to save users time by letting them do things more efficiently.
He's in the best moment since I know him. "Everyone saw at the beginning of the season how brilliant he played". Youngster Rafa Camacho has been handed a first-team debut by Klopp .
With 13 tackles for loss and 15 quarterback hits, the Ravens should want to bring back his production. Six-time Pro Bowl safety Eric Weddle doesn't see his playing future as a complicated issue.

Unfortunately though, whether he's sat down, leaning on the dugout or shouting, what TW clearly doesn't do on a consistent basis is have his players motivated, fit and organised for battle.
For me, everything is now pointing to the end of the road for TW. I expect us to hear something once Saturday is done and dusted. It's surely the only possible outcome for the wellbeing of the club.
I cannot see MG coming back to this club for a whole host of extremely valid reasons.
We certainly won't see Kneeshaw for the last 2 games and perhaps Palmer also after their injuries.
I thought Jake Turner looked very assured today with his shot stopping and dealing with crosses. Sound keeper who looks capable of carving out a decent career in the game.
In May last year Blyth pushed the boat out when they handed Armstrong a pay rise with a new two-year contract, plus one-year option, after he had previously been linked with every North-east managerial vacancy that came up.
And I believe his contract ends in the summer. Can see it only ending one way whoever is in charge next season.
He has struggled to get into the Harriers side and it looks like the substantial appearance cash we were due when he set the Scot Premier alight aint gonna materialise.
Of course Styche did say that one of the main reasons he signed for Darlo was because of TW who he rated as one of the best he had worked with.
Pete, that was Gary Bowyer at Bradford City.
FCUM bringing four players from their Under 21s with three likely to start, they say. The club has also binned off three players after last Saturday's terrible defeat.


It's Christmas, and an entire season for giving. In keeping with the spirit, Kyle Hart, founder of Rhino Camera Gear, has really gone out his way to share something lovely with us. As many of you have probably opened up beautifully wrapped packages of new camera gear, your creativity may be flowing like egg nog.
Rhino Camera Gear is known for making high quality sliders, rigs, and stabilizers, and as those things go, they're not cheap. Mind you, Kyle has been good at offering up inexpensive ideas for rigs, etc when he is asked, ranging from $10 DIY options to skateboards. However, he has said given his designing background, he wanted to offer up a more elegant solution as a holiday gift, and he has delivered.
Below you can watch the how-to video that's set-up as a challenge, and also download an extensive, and rather beautiful accompanying PDF to build this $75 DIY slider, which doesn't requite any drilling or major tools to create. It really is elegant.
Do take a little time to check out the DIY slider, and the other gear by Rhino, and you can do so on their site.
Thank you Kyle for this holiday gift, and Merry Christmas and best of the season to you all.
Excellent project. I've been looking for a budget slider and might give this a go.
I definitely want to try this for a project next month. thanks!
That's a very low cost DIY project. Thanks for sharing.

"The Best Weekend of the Year" – That's what fans call the Briggs Farm Blues Festival, an annual celebration of the Blues music tradition that's been going on every year since 1998.
Whether you're in the mood for Mississippi-style Blues, Contemporary Blues or Gospel Blues, you'll find it at the 22nd Briggs Farm Blues Festival July 11-14.
The Festival got its start as a one-day event in 1998 when Richard Briggs, then a production manager at public radio station WVIA, decided his family's 250-year-old farm was the perfect place to have some Blues musicians come and play.
Cedric Burnside will perform at this year's Briggs Festival
"Blues was close to the music I listened to as a teen," Richard says. "What you listened to at that age stays with you and I wanted to bring Blues music to our area. I felt it was true music."
From that small one-day event, the Festival has grown to a nationally recognized four-day Blues festival that attracts some 7,000 people, including 2,000 who set-up tents and RVs and camp at the farm, located at the intersection of Routes 93 and 239 near the town of Nescopeck.
"After that first year, we decided it would be safer to have a two-day festival in case there was bad weather one of the days," Richard says. "And then people started asking to camp."
In 2017 the Festival received the "Keeping Blues Alive Award" from the Blues Foundation. And three of the musicians performing at this year's Festival are also Blues Foundation award winners: Annika Chambers, who performs Friday at 4:15 p.m. on the Main Stage; Cedric Burnside, performing Saturday at 4 p.m. on the Main Stage; and Vanessa Collier.
Sunday will be devoted to Gospel Blues with Slam Allen at 11 a.m. and Alexis P. Suter Ministers of Sound.
The award-winning Festival includes both local and nationally known musicians with acts on two stages and 50 vendors offering unique handmade arts and crafts like jewelry made from old silverware and paintings of Blues musicians.

A highlight of this year's festival will be the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Philadelphia Blues Society to Vanessa Collier, who will be performing on Saturday night.
And if the music — particularly the Mississippi Delta music of Saturday night's headliner Christone "Kingfish" Ingram— makes you hungry for Southern cooking, the Briggs family has that covered, too. They're cooking up fried catfish, collard greens, mac and cheese, sweet corn, stewed tomatoes and pulled pork for you to buy.
You're welcome to BYOB your favorite beverage to the Festival as long as it's not in a glass container. No glass containers and no pets are allowed on the grounds.
This year's festival kicks off Friday night at 7 p.m. with a nostalgic musical nod to the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock Festival. "Briggstock" will feature Bret Alexander & Friends who will take you back in time to that "Summer of '69" that saw America's space program put men on the moon as well as the iconic music festival that drew thousands to a farm field in Woodstock, NY.
If camping isn't your thing, but you'd like to stay nearby for the Festival, shuttle bus service will be available from the Super 8 Motel in Mifflinville, Motel 6 in Bloomsburg and Relax Inn in Bloomsburg. For more information about the shuttle bus schedule and staying overnight, visit the "Lodging" page.
Before you head to the Festival, be sure to view a complete list of this year's Festival performers. Tickets also may be ordered on the website.


I'm a little behind on things, but for good reasons, we visited Indiana last week and are now in Arizona visiting my grandparents. Last week, this pretty girl turned one. It still warms my heart to remember receiving the phone call telling me she was born and leaving finals to go hold her, such a week of celebration.
Kati is precious. It's crazy to believe she is already a year old, less a baby and more a toddler. She is a sweet girl, and I 'm excited to see her personality develop. It melts your heart to see her brother Moses hug and kiss her. When she ate her cake for her birthday, Moses fed her bite by bite and then would sneak two for himself. I'm glad for her babysitter who sends photos of Kati when she watches them. Thankful for technology that lets you share experiences even with distance. Because I definitely want to keep up with her as she grows. Love you, Kati.
Kati says, "Love you too Aunt Em!"

Home > Articles and Insights > Seventh Circuit Holds Debt Buyer's Feet to the Fire for its Attorney's Miscues
Seventh Circuit Holds Debt Buyer's Feet to the Fire for its Attorney's Miscues
June 6, 2016 | by Caren D. Enloe
As a general rule, a principal may only be held vicariously liable for the acts of its agent where it had actual control over the conduct. But what if the principal is a debt buyer and its attorneys violate the FDCPA? A recent opinion by the Seventh Circuit holds that debt buyers are strictly liable for the FDCPA violations of their attorneys and other vendors. In Janetos v. Fulton Friedman & Gullace, LLP, a debt buyer hired a law firm to collect on accounts where the debt buyer had already obtained a judgment. The initial demand letters sent out by the law firm did not comply with 15 U.S.C. §1692g(a)(2) in that the letters failed to identify clearly the current creditor or owner of the debt. The consumers filed suit against both the law firm and the debt buyer (current creditor) under the FDCPA and alleged that the debt buyer was vicariously liable for the acts of its lawyers.
The debt buyer contended that it could not be held vicariously liable for the letters the law firm drafted and sent. The court disagreed and in doing so joins the Ninth and Third Circuits in holding that because the debt buyer was itself a debt collector subject to the FDCPA, it is responsible for FDCPA violations committed by others acting on its behalf. Janetos v. Fulton Friedman & Gullace, LLP, C.A. No. 15-1859, 2016 U.S. App. LEXIS 6361, *18 (7TH Cir. Apr. 7, 2016); see also Pollice v. National Tax Funding, L.P., 225 F.3d 379, 404-06 (3d Cir. 2000); Fox v. Citicorp Credit Services, Inc., 15 F.3d 1507, 1516 (9th Cir. 1994). According to the court, "[w]e think it is fair and consistent with the Act to require a debt collector who is independently obliged to comply with the Act to monitor the actions of those it enlists to collect debts on its behalf." Id. at *19. The opinion is troublesome in that the court expressly rejects any argument requiring a show of control by the debt collector over the specific activity alleged to violate the FDCPA. It, therefore, appears that, at least in the Seventh Circuit, debt buyers will be held strictly liable for the FDCPA actions of their attorneys and other vendors.

Stormy Daniels Faces $20Mln Lawsuit, Launches Anti-Trump Crowdfunding Campaign
© AFP 2019 / JOE RAEDLE / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA
The ex-adult film star may face more than $20 million in damages for breaching the non-disclosure agreement regarding her alleged affair with US President Donald Trump.
The potential damages against Stephanie Cliffords, known under her stage name as Stormy Daniels, were revealed on March 16 in a filing in a Los Angeles, California federal court, by Essential Consultants LLC, a company that was established by Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, in 2016 to arrange a $130,000 settlement to the porn star in exchange for her silence.
READ MORE: Stormy Daniels Willing to Pay Back $130K to 'Speak Openly' on Trump Affair
Daniels faces $1 million in damages for each violation of the "hush agreement," which she claims is invalid because Trump never signed it. Earlier this month, Daniels sued Trump over the "invalid" agreement in order to nullify it and avoid being dragged into arbitration proceedings by Cohen and speak openly about the alleged affair.
"The fact that a sitting president is pursuing over $20 million in bogus 'damages' against a private citizen, who is only trying to tell the public what really happened, is truly remarkable. We are not going away and we will not be intimidated by these threats," Michael Avenatti, Daniels's lawyer, said as cited by Bloomberg.
Crowdfunding Campaign to Battle Trump
In order to fund her legal fight against President Trump, the former porn star has launched a crowdfunding campaign via crowdjustice.com, having raised $188,850 in two days.
"I recently made an offer to return the $130,000 I was previously paid if it was agreed that I could simply tell the truth publicly. Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen did not even bother to respond," she wrote on the crowdfunding page.
Daniels described her lawsuit as an attempt to "speak honestly and openly to the American people about her relationship with now President Donald Trump and the intimidation and tactics used against her."

Stormy Daniels Threatened With Physical Harm Over Trump Claims, Says Lawyer
Earlier this week, Avenatti said that his client was physically threatened after she went public about her alleged relationship with Trump, although did not specify who the offenders were.
The White House and Donald Trump himself have repeatedly denied allegations regarding the 2006 affair. According to Daniels, she had a sexual relationship with Trump in 2006 and 2007. Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen paid her $130,000 in exchange for her silence in 2016, when several women went public with allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump. Cohen, for his part, said that he paid it himself through a company he set up in 2016; according to him, neither the Trump Campaign nor the Trump Organization were involved in the payoff.

Home Business Arun Jaitley's ministry lowers interest rate on PF, angers trade unions
Arun Jaitley's ministry lowers interest rate on PF, angers trade unions
Union Finance ministry on Monday set aside retirement fund body EPFO trustees' decision by lowering interest rate on PF deposits to 8.7 percent for 2015-16.
The decision has caused strong protest from trade unions that dubbed the move as 'anti-labour'.
According to PTI, the Finance Ministry has approved 8.7 percent interest rate, which has implication for over 5 crore subscribers of the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).
"The (EPFO's apex decision-making body) CBT, at its meeting held in February 2016, had proposed an interim rate of interest at 8.8 per cent to be credited to the accounts of EPF subscribers for 2015-16. The Finance Ministry has, however, ratified an interest rate of 8.7 per cent," Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha today.
Trade unions including RSS-backed Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) have lodged their protest against the Finance Ministry's decision of lowering the interest rate approved by the CBT.
"BMS strongly condemns the cut in EPF interest rates and will hold demonstrations at EPF offices on April 27," BMS General Secretary Virjesh Upadhyay said, adding the Fund is managed by the CBT, an independent and autonomous body.
"The step taken by the Finance Ministry to over-rule the recommendation of the CBT is not acceptable. It is a wrong step and is an encroachment by the Finance Ministry in EPF's functioning," he said.
