Watch: Around the world, over 14 million girls under the age of 18 are married every year. Thanks to the efforts of the foundation and our grantee CINI, Kajal Bhagat is pursuing her education instead.
Early marriage is a human rights crisis—denying young girls their childhoods, exposing them to adverse health outcomes and violating their fundamental right to pursue their own destinies. Through global partnerships with NGOs, governments and champions of girls and women, the Ford Foundation is helping to break this cycle.
At the Clinton Global Initiative in 2011, we made a commitment to accelerate the change necessary to end child marriage in a generation. Over the past two years, we have seen steady progress. Together with our partners we are bringing greater visibility, resources and grounded solutions to this issue, and providing real alternatives for girls and communities that value girls in their own right—not solely as wives and mothers to be.
At the Clinton Global Initiative this week, we came together with some of these partners—including The Elders, the NoVo Foundation and Girls not Brides—to rededicate our efforts and ensure that ending child marriage is a global priority. Together, we have an opportunity and obligation to make a measurable, meaningful difference in the lives of millions of girls.


Magnetization transfer ratio and myelin in postmortem multiple sclerosis brain.
Schmierer K1, Scaravilli F, Altmann DR, Barker GJ, Miller DH.
Department of Neuroinflammation, MS NMR Research Unit, University College London, United Kingdom.
Several quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) measures are used to investigate multiple sclerosis (MS) in vivo. Precise quantitative investigation of the histopathological correlates of such measures has, to date, been limited. This study investigates the relationship of quantitative measures of myelin content, axonal density, and gliosis with quantitative MR measures in postmortem (PM) MS tissue. MR imaging (MRI) was performed on a 1.5T scanner and T1-relaxation time (T1-RT) and magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) maps were acquired in fresh PM brain of 20 MS subjects. Myelin content, axonal counts, and the extent of gliosis all were quantified using morphometric and digital imaging techniques. MRI and pathological data were in most cases coregistered using stereotactic navigation. Using multiple regression analysis, we detected significant correlations between myelin content (Tr(myelin)) and MTR (r = -0.84, p < 0.001) and myelin content and axonal count (-0.80, p < 0.001); MTR correlated with T1-RT (r = -0.79, p < 0.001). No association was detected between the extent of gliosis and either MR measure. MTR was significantly higher in remyelinated than demyelinated lesions (means: 30.0 [standard deviation, 2.9] vs 23.8 [standard deviation, 4.3], p = 0.008). In conclusion, MTR is affected by myelin content in MS white matter.

I would use this fabric to line a knitted wool cap, to make it less itchy. Is this fabric thin enough for that use?

yes it is and would add to it's warmth.
Will this match the Cincinnati Bengals fleece?
I would use this to line a child's wool knitted cap, to make it soft and non-itchy. Do you think it is thin enough for a liner?

My husband is a life long Dolphins fan and there are hardly ever any Dolphins merchandise. I saw the Logo fleece and and the orange fleece. They match perfectly and he is very happy with the material. I won't have a photo until later this fall as our temperatures are quite hot here in Kansas.
Being able to get the fabric online was a lifesaver since we are in a town that has no fabric store.
My 12 year old grandson loves orange and had his father paint the two doors in his room orange. I used the orange fleese to make a queen size throw/bedspread for him. I lined it with orange lycra. I will try to gt a picture if I can find out how to do it.


Among the single essential concepts in service is the sales funnel. Sales funnels can boost your revenue online by automating your organisation. They offer a course of the very least resistance to growing as well as scaling your company on autopilot. Yet after hanging out with some of the globe's best marketing experts, I can tell you with near assurance, not just just how sales funnels will certainly enable you to make more money online, however which certain funnels you ought to carry out.
Currently, if you're anything like me, you could be averse to particular funnels. For instance, I'm not at all an ecommerce guy, but I do know that free-plus-shipping funnels are absolutely squashing it. In fact, just this previous week, while attending the Closing Table Mastermind with Perry Belcher and Roland Frasier, I got much more understanding right into the appealing "tripwire" funnel, allegedly created by Perry Belcher.
However, Belcher didn't create the principle. He drew that from an old Columbia House advertisement that offered 13 CDs or tapes for the huge cost of $1.00. Remember it? But most of us know that this tempting offer (aka tripwire) had means extra to it than simply the $1.00 cost. In the background, there was a continuity program at the office. In Columbia House's' model, this was called unfavorable choice invoicing. That means, you immediately get normal monthly deliveries (along with a bill) unless you expressly state otherwise.
So why is this so effective and what does it pertain to sales funnels? Actually, what you'll see is that Columbia House's sales funnel was rather straightforward. You simply chose the CDs or tapes you desired for a buck, then received a regular monthly delivery every month at a pre-defined rate. They would constantly bill you for those CDs or tapes every single month. There were variants of this deal too where you could get 11 CDs or tapes for one dime after that get the 12th complimentary.
In either case you check out it, these were all tempting offers. This was too good to miss. However what Columbia House as well as various other companies realized was that, although they would shed cash out of eviction, they would, typically, in time, make money turn over first. Which is the power of the sales funnel. Before automation, this is just how sales funnels worked. And also, if you hired, you would certainly obtain an online person successfully strolling you through the funnel.
The Columbia House instance uses deep understanding right into the psychology of a deal that's irresistible. By very first determining the lifetime value of a consumer and also their retention price, Columbia House identified that it might spend a specific amount of cash acquiring clients and also still be highly lucrative. That's essentially what's done with sales funnels today. As well as what really makes those sales funnels so effective are tripwires.
Today, it's the tripwire that creates the irresistible offer. Although Columbia House really did not quite have major up-sells or down-sells in their funnels, they produced a basic 2 action funnel that worked. It functioned due to the fact that the tripwire was so attractive. It appealed deeply to the customer. After all, exactly how can you withstand an offer like that for 12 or 13 CDs or tapes for $1 or 1 cent when they were retailing at around $10 each at the time.
One more effective instance of this was via Sports Illustrated. Actually, Sports Illustrated was successfully on the decline at the time it introduced its cutting edge tripwire. There's something about substantial things that people just get in touch with. Also when you're supplying an electronic details item on the backside, by sweetening the take care of a substantial great, you can fairly literally send your conversions through the roof.
In the instance of Sports Illustrated, take yourself back to 1990 when publication registration prices were starting to leave. Because period, Sports Illustrated endured a 7% decrease in their circulation in the first half of the year. Now, regardless of what they did, they were incapable to obtain the membership rates up. Even by using deep discounts on memberships, consumers weren't ordering it. Plus, if they marked down also steeply, it would certainly affect their capability to obtain advertisers paying premium prices without revealing that consumers were paying near to the complete cover cost of the publication.
Sports Illustrated, owned by Time, Inc., had not been the only publication that was enduring under the firm's umbrella. People publication had likewise experienced a serious decline of 5%. Time, Inc., knew that it needed to do something quickly. So it started to supply a tripwire that consisted of sports mistakes on VHS. Nonetheless, the expense was expensive as well as there were just many bungles it could supply. So, they looked to the football phone as the new tripwire.
Why the football phone? First, it appealed to the target audience. And, it was distinct as well as amazing. Much more amazing than an uninteresting publication membership. The football-shaped phone idea was conceived by Sports Illustrated's director of blood circulation at the time, Michael Loeb. At that time, marketing on cable television was also extremely economical. And also, the phone, which was sourced from China, just set you back a couple of bucks "landed". So all of it made good sense.
Loeb worked on the logistics of this offer for several months. However, that had not been the only offer. They likewise concocted a deal that consisted of a sneaker phone. If you'll think back to 1990-1991, it was both provides that were running nearly simultaneously. Talk about an early-on split-test, right?
So, what were the outcomes of all this? Over 1 million new subscribers. That's right. And those deals just competed a restricted time. But it effectively saved the company. That's the power of a tripwire offer. It's a substantial item that gets people delighted concerning whatever else the core deal is. As a matter of fact, some individuals will just purchase what you're marketing solely for the uniqueness of the tangible tripwire offer.
Sales funnels are just one of the solitary most effective ideas in business today for a very certain factor. It's not just the instance of the tripwire that's effective. It's the whole kitten collection, so to speak. There are so many parts as well as parts to what make a sales funnel work so well that I wanted to simplify as well as offer some even more instances to give a much deeper understanding to exactly how you can utilize them to increase your revenue online.
Now, if you're not using a sales funnel right now, or if you're simply uncovering what a sales funnel is, then there are a few ways you can promptly leverage this effective concept in your business to create eruptive outcomes. Firstly, if you don't have a ClickFunnels account, go here as well as enroll in the 14-day free test. As soon as you've configuration your account, grab a customized domain as well as begin constructing your funnel. If you require aid, see a few of the on-boarding video clips consisted of with ClickFunnels.
It doesn't matter if you have an existing company or you're functioning to setup a new organisation, funnels are the secret to expanding and scaling no matter where you're starting from. Nevertheless, there are 5 particular ways you can utilize sales funnels to enhance your earnings right now. It matters not what company you're in or what you're offering, you can utilize these today, today, to create explosive outcomes.
At the Inner Circle mastermind this week, Russell Brunson explored the hook-story-offer technique that comes before building the funnel. Can you build a sales funnel prior to you have a hook as well as a tale? Yes. Yet you could have difficulty getting grip, particularly if you're competing in a red sea. Red oceans are entrepreneur-infested waters competing for the same swimming pool of customers, whereas blue seas are a location where few entrepreneurs are swimming in.
What does that tell you? Invest the time on the hook and also the story. Yes, the deal is additionally crucial. But it's the hook and the story that's going to reel leads in. For instance, Brunson utilized the narrative of fit-to-fat-to-fat founder, Drew Manning. Manning, that was in fantastic shape, headed out there and got a lot of weight over a 6 month duration to much better understand what it seems like to be fat. Yet then he headed out there as well as lost all the weight.
That right there is an unbelievable hook and story. It's special. And also, due to that, Manning has actually experienced a meteoric surge, despite the fact that his offer isn't that good. Yet when the hook and the story is just so great, the offer is practically inconsequential. Properly, you can market almost anything when the hook as well as the tale simply crush it. One more example is the story of Robert Allen that would certainly constantly claim he might be decreased in any kind of city in the nation and acquire a house no money down within 60 days. Which's exactly what he did. His brand has actually done over a billion dollars in sales due to it.
Those are all fantastic hooks and stories. Without that, your offer will certainly have a hard time. If you can come up with an unique means to produce your hook and also tale, the rest will fall into place. Since there is so much red sea available, this is probably among one of the most vital indicate make prior to you release any sales funnel.
Tripwires are excellent low-barrier-of-entry products that make potential customers whip out their bank card. Often, these are too-good-to-pass-up products that are used at an incredible cost. Just consider the tripwire supplied by Columbia House or Sports Illustrated, for example. Tripwires help make it easier to get new clients, and after that to rise them up your value ladder.
Anything that makes consumer procurement more difficult, such as a high-priced product and services out of eviction, is mosting likely to make growing and also scaling your organisation more difficult. The reality is that it sets you back 5 times as a lot to draw in a brand-new client as it does to retain an existing one. That's why tripwires are so effective. They lower the barrier-of-entry into your service. And also anything that can lower the obstacle of entry is constantly excellent.
An additional fantastic means to release a sales funnel and also easily increase your revenue no matter what service you're in is with a lead magnet. The lead magnet needs to add actual value. However it can be in various layouts such as a PDF e-book, checklist, rip off sheet and so on. After the download, you can provide an one-time offer. This means a three-step funnel. You might likewise develop an up-sell if they take the single offer and even a payment-plan down-sell if they deny it.
Why do a lead magnet with lots of worth? Initially, you're setting on your own up as a professional. If that material is really workable, as well as it includes a substantial amount of worth to the possibility's life, after that they're going to view you as the authority. But it does something even more than that. It refers micro-commitments. The theory? Get someone to concur to do three tiny things for you and also the 4th one is immediately a yes.
One of the most powerful sales funnels you can build is based around the webinar. In fact, it was the webinar that saved Brunson's business from insolvency a couple of times. It was a combination and end result of expertise that lead to the best webinar manuscript, which produces the basis for the utmost sales funnel. Some of it originated from Jason Fladlien, while other pieces came from in other places in Brunson's journey.
However, all that details incorporated into the style of an ideal webinar and funnel, has actually literally transformed the businesses of many entrepreneurs who've taken their understanding and monetized it with the rapid pressure of webinars. Constructing a webinar is just one of the surest paths to success with a sales funnel. As a matter of fact, the webinar funnel is quite potentially one of the most transformative funnel you can launch for any service, new or old.
Another method to enhance your revenue with a sales funnel is to build a high-ticket coaching funnel that goes from application to telephone call to close.
The application permits you to remove those that aren't major. And, on the phone call, you can seal the deal. Currently, this sort of sales funnel works if you've already had results with clients. Otherwise, help totally free until you get results for people. After that, gather testimonials and use those as component of the pitch for the mentoring.
Probably among the most significant as well as most popular sales funnels these days is the free-plus-shipping deal funnel. It makes a fantastic access point into any funnel by producing a single offer or up-sell after the deal, similar to a tripwire funnel. Nonetheless, the difference here is the power of the word cost-free. Yes, tripwires, which are extremely affordable product and services, work well. Yet there is real power in the word free.
Actually, people will jump up and also down for a free offer, even if they have to cover the shipping as well as handling, in contrast to taking an offer that they even need to pay a tiny quantity of loan for.


A large bronze statue of a farmer and blacksmith shaking hands resided in the lobby of the old Moody's headquarters building. Beneath it read, "Credit: Man's Confidence in Man."
The entire financial crisis of 2008 was about credit and confidence, and the same holds true today. That was the message delivered by the former general counsel of Lehman Brothers, Kevin Genirs, during his keynote address February 1, 2012, at the LegalTech® conference in New York City.
Genirs, who is currently managing director at Barclays Capital, had worked for Lehman for sixteen years before the firm's 2008 collapse.
While his speech recounted the history of the weeks and months leading to the ultimate selling of Lehman to Barclays – saving Genirs and 9,000 of his colleagues their jobs – this more human element of confidence was where he placed the most emphasis.
"The real threat to sustained recovery is the innate human propensity to swing between euphoria and fear."
"Since 2008, a lot has changed and yet a lot hasn't," Genirs noted. "Mark Twain says, 'History never repeats itself, but it does rhyme.' It's important to look at history's rhymes and learn from lessons in 2008."
Did people at Lehman Brothers refuse to listen?
"Some thought no one will knock out Lehman Brothers, but many folks were trying to raise issues and right the ship. A number of people were saying, 'We have to fix this,'" Genirs recalled. "Not enough people were listening, or, more accurately, not listening fast enough. Ultimately, we just ran out of time."
In the summer of 2008, Lehman had four strategic hopes: raise more capital; sell the asset management piece of the business (Neuberger Berman); talk to strategic investors, including Warren Buffett; and spin off its commercial real estate portfolio.
Any of these things could have helped, Genirs acknowledged, but "things were happening so fast, we couldn't get it done."
No one slept that weekend in September before the firm filed for bankruptcy on Monday, September 15, 2008.
All eyes were on Lehman, and meetings and hearings were taking place literally around the clock to try to save the firm.
Sunday night about 5:00 p.m., Genirs remembers being crammed into the office of the chairman and learning Lehman would have to file for bankruptcy.
"Employees started showing up in cabs with knapsacks to pick up their stuff. They weren't sure if the offices would be open tomorrow, would I have access to my computer? Will I have a job? No one knew the answers," Genirs said.
At 3:00 a.m., he asked corporate communications to send a blast e-mail to all employees letting them know two things: You will be able to get into the office tomorrow and your computer will work.
"The next morning, I remember passing my twin daughters' room – they were only two at the time – thinking [there would be] no jobs, no health benefits, all just wiped out. After sixteen years, I had nothing. I just broke down," Genirs said. "I took a shower and thought I had to go to the office because I told my colleagues not to worry, deals get done all the time. Lehman Brothers was the melting ice cube. All our best traders were getting solicited, and our goal was to keep the team together for the next few days."
Fortunately for Genirs and his 9,000 colleagues, deals did get done at the last minute, and they didn't lose their jobs.
But of all the lessons gleaned from this experience, the most human element to remember is the emotional nature of the markets.
Genirs left the audience with words of wisdom from Alan Greenspan: "The real threat to sustained recovery is the innate human propensity to swing between euphoria and fear."
"Credit, fear, and confidence," Genirs said. "It's the biggest rhyme there is."

Day: January 23rd, 2007
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007 | All Things
At Marble Collegiate Church for a "State of Our Union" dialogue hosted by Generation Engage and Demos. The evening was a special event, consisting of a 75-minute discussion with New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winnning columnist William Safire and former Kennedy speechwriter Theodore Sorensen, followed by a live screening of the president's annual State of the Union address. I was heartened to see the church's wooden pews filled to capacity by a number of young adults, mixed in with the usual assortment of old-line activists and policy wonks.
Interesting choice of venue. Since last March 19, the third anniversary of the start of war in Iraq, the congregation has hung thousands of gold, blue and green streamers on the iron fence around the perimeter of the mid-19th century church at Fifth Avenue and 29th Street, as a physical representation of prayers and a plea for peace.
The installation is titled Prayers for Peace. The gold ribbons display the names, ranks and ages of members of the armed forces who have lost their lives in Iraq, and represent prayers for their families. The blue are prayers for Iraqi dead and wounded with their names and ages (some just a few months old), and the green ribbons represent prayers for peace in the Middle East. During each Sunday service, the names of new servicepeople who have died are read aloud, and their ribbons are added to to the gates with the others. The number of gold ribbons, around 2300 when the project first began last year, now total over 3000.
On Sunday, March 18, 2007, the Church will hold a memorial to coincide with the war's fourth anniversary. That afternoon, the names of the dead will scroll across the same big screen Bush appeared on that night.

Five years of phenomenal programmatic growth and this is where we find ourselves. A $20 billion-plus global industry that is bursting with technological innovation and the ability to target a prospective customer with pinpoint accuracy, but with complete disregard for what made advertising so successful in the first place.
That is great creative that has the ability to make you happy or sad, laugh or cry — and, importantly, creates a lasting connection with a brand. We did it with digital advertising and we did it again with programmatic — we focused too quickly on direct response and didn't mind too much about the stories we told.
We have become obsessed with targeting, but less so with the content we deliver to the target. As technology continues to improve, we have seen a marginal improvement in our creative and content, but only as far as the banner is concerned. Companies such as Criteo set the early benchmark with the combination of text and image linked to a specific signal, but this is way too basic when you look at the potential of a totally blank canvas. All the companies that specialize in what is called dynamic creative optimization have to recognize that the output is — compared with the brilliant ideas that come to life in other media — neither dynamic nor creative.
Programmatic capacity has now developed to the point where we can do almost anything we like with any format we like — be that homepage takeovers, skins, large formats, expandables and so on — all based around a particular insight. However, the reality is that these options are not being exploited and it remains the most dramatic missed opportunity of our time. A particularly harsh reality for an industry that rises and falls on its ability to deliver relevance. Relevance is within our grasp and the people who paint pictures and weave stories should be scrambling to grab it.
We know so much about people and we have so many data signals that there is no reason why anyone staring at their screen should not see an ad tailored to their journey. There are tens of thousands of data opportunities to allow us to build bespoke audiences, and the press is full of advertisers wanting their own data management platform so they can harness and leverage all the data available to them.
This is all admirable and correct, but they equally need to turn their gaze to their siloed creative structures and bring their multiple agencies into choreographed harmony.
Take cross-screen advertising. So many column inches and hours of conference debate are dedicated to this topic du jour. There are so many companies offering the ability to have a single view across screens and devices. But who is designing bespoke creative for this solution?
I am not talking about resizing; I am talking about a dialogue and a story that traverses screens. One in which the message and creative are crafted to make the most of each environment. Sequential advertising is another great example where only a few are really attempting that approach and making the most of all the tools we have.
We are starting to see more interconnectivity of agencies within the holding groups on behalf of advertisers (such as Publicis Groupe's Always-On Platform), which gives everyone access to marketing intelligence, and the ability to identify and build audience segments, create engaging content and deliver campaigns across all media channels.
But so far, those platforms seem to be the domain of digital and media agencies that recognize the power of aggregating and engaging with audiences based on a shared, profound understanding of individual customers. Again, we need more big brains and artists focusing on the message. Imagine the impact if the bigger, "traditional" creative agencies came to the table.
The past five years have been exciting and, yes, technology has revolutionized the way media is planned and bought and will continue to do so. But we have reached a pivotal moment. Now is the time for creative agencies to embrace and improve the potential of programmatic.
And if they don't? There is huge potential for media companies to step into the space and produce great creative that is relevant, measurable and appropriately targeted. If creative agencies continue to dismiss programmatic, I can guarantee that media and other companies will fill the void.
Advertisers also have to demand action. Dear client, don't just ask your agencies to create endless audience profiles without also asking for the ability to talk to your customers with passion. If a customer is willing to make us part of their daily journey, we have to entertain, inform and captivate them in return.

'The Magnificent Seven, our latest deposit offer, is a complex and hi-tech product. It took our experts, accountants, and IT specialists all their capacity and creative potential to develop the product. Combining the daily capitalization of interest, the topping up option, and the increase in the interest rate depending on the growing amount of money in the deposit account was no easy thing. Some of our employees have actually ended up with a bit of grey hair on their heads, but the bank managed to launch this deposit at the end of the day,' says URSA Bank's Ural branch's Vice President Alexei Sannikov.
'What mattered to us most was making the deposit as clear and easy for the customer as possible. All the technologies and know-hows we've employed don't have to make things complicated for the customers, who only deal with the transparency and convenience of our deposit offer. The only thing they need to do is bring the money to the bank and be sure it will be safe and growing. We'll take care of everything else,' the bank executive explains.

Operation Blue Thread est un projet mis en place dans les années 1960 par les services secrets britanniques dans le but d'évacuer  de la reine Élisabeth II et du prince Philip en cas d'invasion soviétique de l'Allemagne de l'Ouest.

Organisation
Le plan, qui doit mobiliser  et un nombre non spécifié de soldats, soulève l'hostilité des autorités de la RFA et des critiques de l'état-major britannique. Par crainte d'une guerre nucléaire entre le Royaume-Uni et l'Union soviétique, l'Operation Blue Thread prévoit en effet d'évacuer ces 38 personnes, accompagnées chacune d'un domestique et de  de bagages, dans la ville de Lyon, en France.

Les personnalités concernées par le plan d'évacuation sont les  du duc d'Édimbourg (Marguerite, Théodora et Sophie de Grèce), leurs époux (Gottfried de Hohenlohe-Langenbourg, Berthold de Bade et Georges-Guillaume de Hanovre), leurs , le duc et la duchesse de Brunswick, leurs enfants, le comte et la comtesse de Toerring-Jettenbach, leurs enfants, ainsi que le grand-duc et la grande-duchesse de Hesse.

I think the most requested for recipe that I haven't posted yet is Shredded Chicken Curry. You know the Nigerian version that is served at parties. Big Oladunni makes a very mean one.

HP Tips New Pavilion Laptops Starting at $579
HP's Pavilion line, which is targeting students and young 'generation Z' consumers, is getting refreshed with new chips from Intel and AMD.

If you're looking for affordable laptops with the latest Intel and AMD chips, HP is refreshing its Pavilion lineup next month with models starting at $579.
The upcoming Pavilion 13, 14, and 15 can be configured with Intel's recently launched 11th-generation "Tiger Lake" Core processors. If you're a fan of AMD, the Pavilion 15 will be available with its Ryzen 4000 series chips.
The new silicon is poised to give a performance boost to the Pavilion line, which is targeting students and young "generation Z" consumers. According to HP, the refreshed models can run up to 8.75 hours on a single charge. The fast charging on board can also replenish the battery to 50 percent when the laptop is plugged in for 30 minutes.

You're also getting a "wide vision HD camera," dual speakers, and support for SSD and Intel Optane memory. In terms of ports, the laptops offer an HDMI 2.0 connector, an SD card slot, a USB-A port, and a USB-C port, which can support data, display and power delivery.
To give the laptops a premium feel, HP has fitted the hardware in a metal chassis. However, the products also mark the first time the company has used recycled plastics to build its laptops. On the Pavilion models, you can find the recycled materials in the speaker housing. The devices will also come in several different colors.
The Pavilion 14 will start at $579 while the Pavilion 15 will arrive at $599. Meanwhile, the 13-inch model will carry a starting price tag of $679. Unfortunately, HP hasn't broken down the various configurations, so we're unclear what the lower-end configurations will give consumers. But one reason for the low price is the laptops can come fitted with 1366 by 768 pixel resolution displays, lower than the standard 1080p full HD panels on other notebooks.

LGBTQ advocates call on N.J. to ban 'gay panic' defense for violent crimes
By Rebecca Panico | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
One of the men convicted of fatally stabbing and dismembering Francisco Gonzalez Fuentes's body in Cliffside Park during 2011 attempted to use what is known as the "gay panic defense" on appeal.
Wilfredo Sanchez argued he was "provoked" by Fuentes, who he claimed tried to sexually assault him. Sanchez's attorney unsuccessfully argued on appeal that lesser charges of passion-provocation manslaughter and reckless manslaughter should have been considered for him instead.
Around the country, advocates have criticized the legal defense that an emotional response prompted by homophobia should lessen someone's responsibility for violent acts. Now, a bill to ban that defense is set for a vote in the state Assembly on Monday.
"Make no mistake, the gay and trans 'panic' defense is flat-out legal malpractice, and it's time for New Jersey to outlaw this horrific and discriminatory legal strategy," said Garden State Equality Executive Director Christian Fuscarino.
The bill would prevent the reduction of a murder charge to manslaughter when a homicide is committed in the heat of the moment after learning of another's gender identity or sexual orientation. New Jersey would join eight other states that have banned such defenses.
Some opponents of the bill have argued that jurors — not lawmakers — should decide whether to toss a gay panic defense.
Dean Dafis, a Maplewood committee member who is gay, told about 20 people who attended a transgender day of remembrance vigil in town on Saturday to push for the bill's passage. He told NJ Advance Media he was shocked that the legal defense still existed in 2019.
"It's affirmation that we matter," Dafis said of the measure banning the practice. "That we will not be erased because when the violence against you is legitimized and excused, then you are erased as a victim and what's happened to you — it's like it doesn't matter to anyone."
Maplewood committee member Dean Dafis, second from left, stands with Maplewood/South Orange school board member Shannon Cuttle, third from left, for a transgender day of remembrance vigil near Ricalton Square on Nov. 23, 2019.
Shannon Cuttle, a South Orange/Maple school board member who identifies as non-binary, organized the vigil in Maplewood to remember transgender people who have lost their lives this year. At least 22 transgender and gender non-conforming people were killed in 2019, according to a report released this week by the Human Rights Campaign.
"It's led to furthering additional bias and hate crimes and it's also making it an excuse," Cuttle said of the legal defense.
Former state Assemblymen Reed Gusciora, now the mayor of Trenton, and Tim Eustace, D-Bergen, first introduced a version of the bill in 2014, but the measure never got a full vote.
The Assembly will vote on the measure Monday. It would also have to be approved by the Senate, where it has yet to get a hearing, before it lands on Gov. Phil Murphy's desk.

Pakistani Air Force Ferrying Equipment To Skardu Base Near Ladakh, Likely To Deploy JF-17 Fighter Jets: Report
by Swarajya Staff - Aug 12, 2019 04:36 PM +05:30 IST
PAF's JF-17 Fighter Jet (Aldo Bidini/Wikimedia Commons)
Amid the continuing tensions between India and Pakistan over abrogation of Article 370, Pakistani forces have started moving equipment to their forward bases close to Ladakh, reports Times of India.
"Three C-130 transport aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) were used on Saturday (10 August) to ferry equipment to their Skardu air base opposite the Union Territory of Ladakh. The Indian agencies concerned are keeping a close eye on the movement of Pakistanis along the border areas," government sources were quoted in the report as saying.
According to the sources, Pakistanis are most likely to deploy their JF-17 fighter jets to the Skardu air field. The equipment moved to the forward operating base could be support equipment for the operations of the fighter aircraft, they said.
Skardu is a forward operating base of the PAF which is used to support the Pakistani Army operations on the border with India.
According to the report, the Indian Air Force and Army along with Intelligence agencies are keeping a close watch on the PAF movement. The transport plane being used by PAF is the older version of the C-130 transport aircraft, which was supplied by the United States a long time ago.
However, the move to shift planes to the forward base could also be a part of an exercise that was being planned by the PAF, the sources said.

Economy Infrastructure Infrastructure Financing News & Reports
Spending All Revenue on Infrastructure for The Next 100 years Is the Way Out – Agusto
The Federal Government would need to spend the entire 2021 budget of N13.58tn continuously over the next century on capital expenditure to meet the target.
Agusto & Co., a rating agency and research firm, has said Nigeria has a huge infrastructural deficit and requires up to $3tn over the next 30 years to bridge this gap. At the rate of N13. 58 trillion per annum, it would take a hundred years.
It said, "The fact that less than N3tn was appropriated for capital expenditure reflects the urgency to increase infrastructure spending. Sadly, the dire fiscal position of the Federal Government of Nigeria has left little room for investments in infrastructure, a vital expenditure for an emerging economy like Nigeria.
"With a dwindling revenue base projected at N8tn and a widening budget deficit of over N6tn, according to the 2021 budget, conversations around optimising the country's under-utilized assets are germane."
According to Agusto & Co., between January 2021 and November 2022, the Nigerian government intends to sell or concession no fewer than 36 of its assets to raise funds to finance the 2021 budget and drive infrastructure development across the country.
It noted that different models had been deployed by the Nigerian government in the past to resuscitate non-performing and under-performing assets, either through outright sales to private investors or some form of public-private partnerships.
"While some projects have been successful, others have not been," the firm said.
Agusto & Co said it recognised the role the National Council on Privatisation had played in driving the Federal Government's programme of privatising public enterprises, carrying out sector reforms and liberalising key economic sectors, especially the infrastructure sector.
It said, "Some of the bills already passed into the Law in this respect are the Electric Power Sector Reform Act, the Telecommunications or NCC Act, the Pension Reform Act, the Debt Management Office (Cross Debt) Act and the Solid Minerals Act.
"These reforms have contributed notably to major breakthroughs in the telecommunications, power, oil and gas and financial sectors.
"However, lessons learnt from the past suggest that in ascertaining what assets or projects would be successful going forward, there are two tests that must be passed: the political feasibility of the project and the commercial viability of the asset."

Wests Tigers have been defeated 40-10 by the Penrith Panthers tonight in a disappointing outing at Pepper Stadium.
The Panthers raced out to a 28-4 lead at half-time, with Wests Tigers unable to stop a flurry of tries from the home side in a 40-point run of unanswered points.
It was a fast start for Wests Tigers, with Luke Brooks forcing a repeat set from their very first opportunity with the ball, as winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak dropped a cross-field bomb.
With the team opting to run the football instead of take the two points from a penalty, Elijah Taylor made an uncustomary error with tackles to spare to let Penrith off the hook.
On their next opportunity with the ball, Wests Tigers continued their quick start with the skipper Aaron Woods putting Mitch Moses through a gap on the halfway, with in-form five-eighth showing great vision to find Josh Addo-Carr who went over in the corner.
Moses was unable to covert the try from the sideline, however Wests Tigers held a 4-0 advantage after just six minutes of play.
The Panthers found their way onto the scoreboard very much against the run of play, with Watene-Zeleniak making a break from a kick return, running nearly the length of the field before finding his centre Waqa Blake back on the inside.
Nathan Cleary put his side in front with the easy conversion, making it 6-4 after just 12 minutes.
With the Panthers handed a contentious overruling on a knock-on by the NRL Bunker, they went back on the attack and quickly caught the defenders napping in the middle with Bryce Cartwright running an unders line to crash over.
Cleary made the easy conversion to take Penrith's lead out to 12-4 after 18 minutes of play.
The Panthers continued to roll through the Wests Tigers defence, with second rower Isaah Yeo fending his way through on the left edge to score in the 23rd minute.
The conversion from Cleary was waved away, however the Panthers held a commanding 16-4 advantage after just 24 minutes.
Reagan Campbell-Gillard was next to cross for the Panthers, hitting an inside ball at speed and crashing through three defenders to get over the line in 28th minute.
Cleary added the extras as the Panthers flew out to a 22-4 lead after just 29 minutes.
With another contentious call going against Wests Tigers, Penrith were awarded a penalty inside their half just three minutes before the break, allowing Peter Wallace to take advantage of a quick play-the-ball and score under the posts.
Cleary made it a 28-4 scoreline at the half-time break, with the Panthers running in five unanswered tries.
Two chances just after the half-time break went begging for Wests Tigers, most notably when Moses stepped his way through and threw a cut-out pass that ended up in the hands of a Panthers defender.
Penrith matched their way back up the field due to an error from Rankin, with Trent Merrin capitalising on a second-man play close to the line to score next to the posts.
Cleary added the extras to take his side's lead out to 34-4 after 49 minutes.
James Fisher-Harris crossed for the Panthers in the 56th minute, holding on to a flat pass from Cleary on the line, with the rookie halfback adding the extras to make it a 40-4 lead.
Moses showed his class in the 63rd minute, taking advantage of some second-phase play to finally break the run of Panthers tries and score.
The playmaker quickly slotted the conversion, narrowing the Panthers lead to 40-10 with 16 minutes to go in the match.
Rankin was denied a try in the 67th minute by the NRL Bunker, with the ruling of no try on ground standing despite what looked to be a four-pointer.
Wests Tigers fought hard in the closing stages of the match, however weren't able to cross for another try with the game finishing at 40-10 in favour of the Panthers.

An Ode to 10 Pop Culture Sandwiches
By Alison Nastasi
It's National Sandwich Day! That means it's the 293rd birthday of John Montagu, or as he is more popularly known, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. His legacy is creating the glorious food item (food group, really), in which we stuff many things betwixt two slices of bread. This would later become bastardized by the invention of Hot Pockets and other sloth-friendly grub. In honor of this great day, we give you our ode to pop culture sandwiches past the break. Leave us your favorites — or favorite sandwich fixins so we can all consider new things to stuff our maws with, Liz Lemon style — below.
Friends' "The One with Ross's Sandwich"
Ross has a mental breakdown when his boss "accidentally" eats his Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich. Dubbed the "moist maker," because of its delightful extra slice of gravy-soaked bread in the middle, Ross loses his grip over the mishap and is forced to see a psychiatrist for anger management therapy.
The Simpsons' "Selma's Choice"
"Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment."
Homer is no stranger to sandwiches, and in "Selma's Choice" he brought home a 10-foot hoagie that took him several days to eat. The thing gets moldy and disgusting and at one point Marge finds it stored behind the radiator. That's dedication! Watch part of the episode in German for extra existential sandwich angst.
The Elvis
Behold, the King's favorite sandwich: fried peanut butter and banana. For years, people have debated whether or not Elvis included bacon in the mix — about as much as people have debated whether he's still alive and hiding in a Walmart somewhere. Here's one variation on the gooey recipe.
Blondie's Dagwood Bumstead
How did Dagwood land a babe like Blondie? It must have been his insatiable appetite … for giant sandwiches. Life's tough when you're set to inherit the family fortune, but they disown you for marrying a flapper. Obscenely sized sandwiches cure what ails you. And your own sandwich shop chain.
The Cosby Show's Cliff Huxtable
Sandwich connoisseur Cliff Hustable never met a hoagie he didn't like. In "Cliff's Nightmare," the great doctor eats a sausage sandwich at 3am that doesn't agree with him and induces some strange dreams.
30 Rock's "Sandwich Day"
Don't get between Liz Lemon and her sandwich. She will cut you. And eat the foil later.
The Golden Girls' "Take Him, He's Mine"
In another one of her awesome get rich quick schemes, everyone's favorite feisty grandma Sophia goes into business with Rose selling sandwiches on the boardwalk. Her competition, who goes by the name of "Johnny No Thumbs," doesn't take too kindly to her bacon, lettuce and potato sandwiches mucking up his business.
Curb Your Enthusiasm's "The Larry David Sandwich"
Larry's deli names a sandwich after him, but he's totally disgusted by it. The offending concoction consists of white fish, sable, capers, onions, and cream cheese — which really does sound like the perfect sandwich for the comedian. In typical Larry fashion, he thinks he can pass it off onto poor Ted Danson, whose sandwich is a "classic."
I Love Lucy's "Lucy Hires a Maid"
When Ricky hires Lucy a maid to help out after little Ricky is born, she has a hard time establishing herself as the boss. The domineering woman sets her own hours and rules — and even tries to control what kind of sandwich Lucy should be eating: a sloppy peanut butter mess. To try to convince the maid to quit, Lucy and pal Ethel trash the apartment and smear peanut butter all over the kitchen — but they don't know that Ricky already fired her. Typical Lucy oops, but one of the classics.
Seinfeld's "The Blood"
"So, she didn't appreciate the erotic qualities of the salted cured meats?"
George persuades his girlfriend to incorporate food into their lovemaking after her vanilla-scented incense makes him hungry. A pastrami sandwich becomes the object of his arousal, which he tries to convince the missus is something used in Nine 1/2 Weeks. (Or maybe Ghostbusters.)


Step aside Zoella and Tanya Burr, because there is a new vlogger in town – none other than our much-loved childhood companion, Barbie.
Since the first doll was produced in 1959, Barbie has been a doctor, a lawyer, and even an astronaut; now she has officially joined the 21st century, and created a YouTube channel, to share snippets of life in her Malibu Dreamhouse.
In her first vlog, Barbie reveals 10 things we never knew about her. Watch below to find out what they are.
