shall be slaves. The want of power is equally clear to prevent, by an act of Congress, the settlement in the territories of slaves, and of families consisting of free white persons and of slaves. The effect of the Wilmot Proviso would be to prevent the establishment in the territories, of many families, some members of which are the owners of slaves.
The constitution of the United States requises, "that representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states, which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers; which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons.' The fact is indisputable, that the persons, for the representation of three-fifths of whom the constitution provides, were slaves. Slaves were held in every state of the Union when the constitution was adopted. The constitution contains not only a recognition of slavery in every state, which was then in existence, but a prospective recognition of it in every state which might be formed and admitted into the Union in future. The constitution gives no authority to Congress to interfere with any state-or any people, when they may be engaged in founding a state-in the selection of the persons the citizens of the state may prefer for the basis of her representation and taxation; but the constitution does require all the persons mentioned in it, to be enumerated in every state where they may be found, and according to the directions in the constitution for the purpose of ascertaining and fixing the number of representatives to which each may be entitled at every apportionment. The rule for the apportionment of representatives and direct laxes, is applied by the constitution which established it to all the States of the Union, regardless of the time of the admission of any. It governs the first apportionment to a state as well as every subsequent one; and the first apportionment, therefore, of every new state.
The constitutional right of a new state to have slaves as well as free persons enumerated according to the constitution, at the first apportionment made for her, involves the right also, in the inhabitants of a territory on which the new state may be founded, to hold slaves—because the right of the same persons as citizens of the state could not be exercised at the first apportionment, unless this right had been previously enjoyed by them while they were the inhabitants of the territory. The effect therefore of a denial of the right of the people of a territory to bold slaves, is a denial of the right of the same people, when they may establish a state, to have slaves enumerated according to the constitution at the first apportionment of her representatives. To prohibit slavery in a territory before the inhabitants have the power of the citizens of a state to exercise their own will, and decide for or against the institution, would be to render that will, if it should be expressed at the proper time in favor of slavery, ineffectual at the first apportionment for their state--because the prohibition by Congress would prevent the existence in the territory at that time of the persons whom the new state might prefer for a part of the basis of her representation and taxation.
There is an obligation on the United States, the effect of which is to entitle the territories to be admitted as a state into the Union, whenever the inhabitants may give proof of their capacity for self-government,
and the number of them shall be as large as that of the residents of the territories heretofore received as states into the Union; or the number may be sufficient to bear the burdens and perform the duties of a state. The obligation created on the United States, by the 9th article of the treaty, in favor of the Mexican inhabitants who may elect to become citizens of the United States, could not be discharged without the acknowledgment of the right of the inhabitants of the territories to establish a state, at the proper time, to be determined in view of the considerations which have been mentioned. The obligation to admit the territories, is as perfect as one would be to receive as a state a territory with one hundred thousand inhabitants, including persons of every description, upon the ground that a compact between the Union and such territory bound the former to admit the latter as a state whenever her population amounted to this number. Congress would have no authority, if it should change its opinion as to the policy which dictated the compact, to limit the annual number of settlers in the territory, or make a requisition of those allowed to establish themselves there from particular descriptions of persons. The effect of any such act of Congress would be to retard the increase of population, and postpone to a more distant period, in violation of the compact, the right of the inhabitants to establish a state, and have it admiited into the Union. If the act made the right of any persons to settle there to depend upon their civil and political condition, the act would affect the right of the inhabi. tants, when they might found a state to elect whether slavery should be authorized or prohibited.
The sovereign power of each state belongs to the citizens of the state. A portion of this power they have granted by the constitution of the United States to the General Government: the remainder of it was retained by the citizens of each state. The sovereign power, in every state, to establish or prohibit, continue or abolish, the institution of slavery, belongs to the citizens of the state. This power, the citizens of a state may exercise in a convention, in which they adopt or alter their constitution, or in the legislature of the state, if they be authorized by their constitution to exercise such power in the legislative department of the state government.
Of the states admitted into the Union since its formation, some have established and others rejected, the institution. Some of the old thirteen have abolished the relation of master and slave, and nearly an equal number of them has preserved and yet maintains it.
The citizens of the several states who may migrate and establish themiselves in the territories, and the Mexican inhabitants who may become citizens of the United States, according to the treaty, together with such other citizens as were there at the conquest and cession, and who yet remain, will be the first citizens of any state that may be founded there in future. Citizens of slave-holding states may settle themselves there who are opposed to slavery, and intend to employ, at the proper time, their portion of the sovereign power, which will be exercised to establish a state in the territories, to prohibit the relation of master and slave. From non-slave-holding states citizens may go there with the intention of using their share of power to authorize slavery, that had been excluded by the will of the majority from the states they
may leave. The will of all and of each of these descriptions of persons had been rendered ineffectual, by the adverse will of the majority of the citizens of the states from which such immigrants may go. But these, and all other citizens of the several states, who may seitle in these terricories, will carry with them equal and inherent shares of sovereign power, to be exercised whenever a state may be formed for the territory in which they may establish themselves. Whether the result of the exercise of this power at that time, will be the establishment or prohibition of slavery, no one can foresee. The result will depend on the will of the majority of the persons who shall have the right of citizenship in the new state when it may be founded. As the territories were acquired by the united power and resources of all the states, the citizens and other inhabitants of each state, have an equal right to seek homes there, and a new theater for the exercise of the sovereign power of these citizens, in the establishment of new states to be admitted into the Union, for the increase, we hope, of its prosperity, power and glory.
As the sovereign power belongs to the citizens of each state, it is divided into so many shares, and will so' shortly be divided into many more, that the possessors of the numerous portions of it do not attract the attention which an absolute monarch does, and they themselves do not realize the possession of such power and habitually think and reason in relation to it as single sovereigns do. In this want of attention to the character of the citizens of the United States as sovereigus, is the source of all the difficulties which are encountered in the examination of the question we are considering:
If each of the states of the Union were an elective, but an absolute monarchy, with all the sovereign power of every state exercised by her monarch, and acknowledged by his subjects to belong to him; if the relation of master and slave were established by law, and slaves were numerous in some of the states and from the others excluded and the relation forbidden; if a union of the monarchies existed, and their foreign affairs were conducted and controlled by a council appointed by the authority of each; if this agency or government, in the exercise of power derived from the joint grant of all the sovereigns, should acquire by treaty any territory--what would be a just and lawful disposition of it? The agency or government of the league could not make it a state. A state, when founded on the territory, must be an elective monarchy, like the other states; as we suppose a guarantee on the part of the league that each state admitted into it shall be of this form and character. The citizens of these states who might settle in the territory, together with the old inhabitants, entitled under the treaty to the right, would become the citizens of the new state, when one might be established in the territory, and the monarch who might be elected by a majority of them, would have the exclusive right to determine whether the institution of slavery should be authorized or prohibited, continued or abolished. The government would hold the country, while it continued to be a territory of the league, in trust, to encourage the settlement of it by the subjects of all the sovereigns of .the league, and to protect the persons and property of all the immigrants. How long would the league endure, if, in the council which governed it, the influence of the slave-holding monarchies was the
greatest, and prohibited the employment, in the territory, of labor and capital, in the establishment and working of manufactories, as an inducemeni to slave holders to settle there, that they might elect a monarch who would establish slavery, and thus increase the power in the league of the slave-holding monarchies?
The general government of the United States acquired and holds these territories in trust for the sovereign citizens of the several states. The object of the Wilmot Provisoists is to induce Congress, the trustee, to prohibit the transfer of property in slaves, and the removal of their persons to the territories--to forbid the employment there of most of the moveable property of slave-holders; while the right of the inhabitants of the non-slave-holding states is treated as unquestionable to remove to, and use in, the territories all of their own moveable property.
The consequences of the accomplishment of this object would be the exclusion from the territories of most of the persons who are slaveholders and would otherwise establish themselves there, and the settlement of nearly the whole country by immigrants from the non-slaveholding states. The combined operation of these causes would secure the conversion of the territories into non-slave-holding states, and the soil and most of all the advantages of the new acquisitions, mainly for the inhabitants of the existing states of this description. What would be thought, by all the disinterested and impartial of our race, of an individual trustee of a large real estate, abounding in rich gold " washings," who, years before the time when it would be his duty, in the execution of the trust to divide and sell the estate in
parcels, permitted some of the beneficiaries to work the gold " washings" with all the means and laborers they could transfer and employ in them, and thus increase their ability to purchase and monopolize the estate at the sale to be made by the trustee, while he prohibited the others from using more than half their wealth in the employment of labor in the same kind of work?
If the treaty had provided that the former Mexican laws should continue in force, it would require the exercise of the proper legislative power to terminate the authority of all, except such as are political, by repealing them. But an express agreement in the treaty, for the continuance of the obligation of the political laws of Mexico in the territories, would be void, as the treaty-making power is incompetent to give authority to laws wbich would be inconsistent with the constitution. If a Mexican law prohibited slavery in the territories while they belonged to Mexico, a stipulation in the treaty for its continuance, could not preserve its authority in the ceded country after it became a territory of the United States. The effect of the cession would be to annul the law, upon the ground of its repugnance to the constitution of the United States. But the acquisition of these territories, does not present the case of a country conquered and relinquished, or ceded, to the United States, with laws the obligation of which the treaty secured.
The feeble Mexican government, which existed once over a small part of the territories, had been subverted, and, upon its ruins, a military government established, by the authority of the President of the United States, in his character of Commander-in-chief of the American army,
before the treaty was made. The military government existed at the time of the ratification of the treaty, by the governments of the United States and Mexico. The legal effect of the cession, was to terminate the military government, and the conquered and ceded territories were left without a government or civil laws. If there were a government de facto in the territories, it would derive its authority from the implied assent of the inhabitants to the power it exercised, and a majority of them consists now of American citizens. Some of these were there at the conquest, and at the date of the cession, and the others have migrated there since. The Mexican government and laws had been overthrown, before nine-tenths of them established themselves in the country; and they have done no act since, from which their assent can be implied to the re-establishment of any of the laws of the old local, civil government. There is, indeed, no lawful civil authority in the territories, and there can be none, till after the establishment, by the inhabitants of the ceded country, or by Congress, of a government, or the establishment of a state in the territories and the admission of it into the Union. The condition of things which exists there, is the same that it would be if the territories had been without Mexican inhabitants and occupied solely by savages, not subject to Mexican laws, but having a right to occupy the soil, while the fee in it, and the dominion over the country, belonged to the Republic of Mexico, and the United States had taken forcible possession of the territories first, and obtained a cession of them afterward. In the case we have supposed, there would be no Mexican laws in force, in the territories, at the date of the cession, as the jurisdiction of the Mexican Republic had not been extended and established over the waste territories. There is no difference between the principle that would apply to a case in which a Mexican government and laws bad not existed before the cession, and the case that has occurred, in which all these had been subverted before the treaty was made that contains no provision for the re-establishment of any of them. Mexican grants of wild lands, would entiile the grantees, in either case, to the estates conveyed, which the United States would be bound, by the treaty, and the laws of nations, to recognize and protect.
Any inhabitant of the territories, whether an American or Mexican, who was there when the treaty was made, or has gone and established himself there since, occupies a territory of the United States, but over which no civil government or civil laws exist. A Mexican inhabitant, who owned property there before the cession, has a good title to it still, unless it has been impaired, or transferred, by some act of his own. Any American, or other person, who is there with a right to property, which was property in the state of the Union from which he migrated, is entitled to hold and enjoy it as property, in the territories. As there was no law of the territories which prohibited the removal of his property of any kind, and none of the United States, he had as clear a right to take and use it, as he had to go himself and reside in the territories.
Every owner of property is entitled to an equal measure of protection for it, from the military power of the United States, which may be employed there, and, if Congress should establish a territorial government, it would be the duty of the government to protect equally, with


Under TN Law currently, possession of a half ounce or less of marijuana is punished by up to 1 year in jail and up to a $2500 dollar fine, but a recently sponsored bill in the Metro City Council of Nashville is looking to change that.
The new proposal puts the penalty at a $50 fine maximum for up to one half ounce (14 grams), which can be suspended and given up to 10 hours community service. The bill isn't perfect, local police actually complained that it took away an officers discretion to not charge someone if they chose not to, which if reworded to "may charge with $50" it might be better in some ways, but also might be a route to try to circumvent the will of the Metro City Council and charge with a much more difficult set of rules under the state law rather than the local if they choose to. The Tennessean has more coverage here on the Metro Nashville proposed change to Marijuana Law.
Other rules such as this exist and are currently in force, a good example would be that the state law on littering is more strict than the local ordinance, and the Metro Nashville Police are under city rules.
This could create some confusing circumstances where people are given different rules based on who pulls them over also, depending on if it was a Metro Nashville Police officer or if it was a TN State Highway patrol officer.
TL;DR: Nashville may reduce penalties for simple possession of Marijuana from 1 year and a 2500 dollar maximum to $50 and 10 hours maximum, but it's still being worked out.

This is my ex to a T. Really cool guy. Definitely presuasive and insightful. He could definitely fit in any social circle. I really admired that about him. The negative aspects of his personality - emotional coolness, insensitivity, wanting to do everything quickly - were very painful for me as a September 2nd birthday.
It is quite amazing. Very true about me. However, I am not lucky to have a spouse of my choice, job and finances as wished to have.
I am so so so happy for my joyfully life.

Hello we share the same birthday! same year too haha!
You got me. Thanks, this was very insightful.

Trentin: Some sporting directors aren't so sporting
Daniel Benson 2019-03-02T18:45:00Z
Despite setbacks Italian takes ninth in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad

Ninth place for Matteo Trentin (Mitchelton-Scott) in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad wasn't a true reflection of the Italian's impressive performance. The European road champion failed to make the final winning break that contained eventual champion Zdenek Stybar (Deceuninck-QuickStep), Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team) and Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal), but Trentin repeatedly battled back into contention after an early crash, a long chase, and several splits.

Ruta del Sol: Trentin wins stage 2
Trek-Segafredo riders apologise after dismal showing in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
The crash wasn't the only problem Trentin faced. As he chased back through the convoy of team cars he found that some directors would purposely slow up in order to disrupt his chase. It's common courtesy for team cars to often assist riders - or at least not hamper their chances - if they are coming back from a fall.
"I had a crash after about 70 kilometres and then I needed to get back through the convoy but to be honest a lot of sporting directors aren't sporting at all. And on purpose. Some were doing it on purpose, making gaps.
"For my fall, I just went off the road. I tried to avoid something on the side of the road but just flipped over the bike. It wasn't anything serious but it was painful in the beginning and it probably took its toll."
Once Trentin returned to the peloton, he moved through the bunch and made one of the key splits over the top of the Molenberg with just under 40km remaining. However, a crash involving Lotto Soudal's Tiesj Benoot, some 10 kilometres later, split the group with Stybar and five others forging clear.
Trentin was forced to wait for reinforcements and was unable to regain contact with the front group. He would eventually take ninth on the line, despite the best efforts from his teammates, most notably Luke Durbridge, in mounting a chase.
"It was chaotic in the race and I was a bit dropped on the Berendries. I got back and was a bit unlucky to be caught in the split after the crash with Benoot. Then the riders left in the front were really strong. We tried to close it in the end but it didn't work."
Trentin has enjoyed one of his best starts to a season in recent years. He won a stage in Valenciana, and then backed that up with two stages in the Ruta del Sol. Arriving in Omloop, the 29-year-old was brimming with confidence but after being placed on the backfoot throughout his first outing on the cobbles it was difficult for the Italian to say precisely where his form is. Luckily, he can obtain a more detailed analysis after Sunday's Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne.
"It's hard to say where my form is because I had to chase for a long time. Even when I was coming back through the cars it wasn't easy. We'll see tomorrow and that will create a clearer picture."

San Diego Vs. Los Angeles and San Francisco: Where Are We Different?
When it comes to real estate in California, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area are the giants of the housing market. Home prices remain steadily higher than San Diego in these two regions, with some sources reporting that the sales process is quicker as well—an average of 44 days for escrow to close in LA and the Bay Area vs. an average of 55 days to close in San Diego (for 2013).
We're Expensive… But Not That Expensive
San Diego is still up there with LA and the Bay Area as among the most expensive cities in the U.S. in which to buy a home. The rankings, according to a recent Kiplinger.com survey of "Most Expensive U.S. Cities to Live in," are as follows:
San Diego at #10 with a median home value of $477,800 (more than double the national average)
Los Angeles at #9 with a slightly less median home value of $470,00, but with a slightly higher cost of living than San Diego
San Francisco at #3 with a median home value of $750,900, nearly three times the national average
Most in Unsold Inventory By a Small Margin
According to the California Association of Realtors, the amount of unsold inventory differs in the three cities. For the Unsold Inventory Index, San Diego County leads at four percent, with Los Angeles County (3.8 percent) and San Francisco County (3.7 percent) fairly close behind.
Longer Time on Market
When it comes to Median Time of Market, the C.A.R. market update lists San Francisco County at 20.9, San Diego County at 24.1 and Los Angeles County at 20.9.
The percentage of short sales in San Diego County is 0.7 percent. Los Angeles County, with 6.8 percent of short sales, is far ahead. The two areas are closer in Real Estate Owned properties for sale, with San Diego County at two percent and Los Angeles County at 2.6 percent. (Figures for San Francisco County in these two areas are not available.)
Another factor affecting "the most desirable neighborhoods" in these three counties is a lack of available land.
"When there is development in such neighborhoods, it often involves tearing down a $1 million home and replacing it with one that is three times more expensive," notes Ross Gerber, CEO and president of the investment firm Gerber Kawasaki. "While this is good for surrounding homeowners—who see the value of their properties go up—it makes the broader market more challenging for prospective buyers."
Big or Small, Old or New
Each county has its own housing needs based on demand. While a larger population correlates to more housing, the types of homes a buyer can expect to find can vary. When looking at the year a housing structure was built, the bulk of San Diego County (43.6%) was built between 1970-1989. Surprisingly, the majority of San Francisco County's housing structures (49.8%) were built in 1939 or earlier (U.S. Census Bureau).
San Diego County leads the way in the subcategory of housing with nine rooms or more, accounting for 9.2% of total homes, while San Francisco County and Los Angeles County are 3.3% and 4.5% respectively (U.S. Census Bureau).
These two pieces of data paint a picture of the three major counties of California. San Diego is still a relatively younger city, growing in suburbs with larger homes compared to the other two.
Differing Demographics
We all know the stereotypes of each city, the Bay area tech startup employee, the Los Angeles publicist, and the San Diego surfer. While each city boasts its own diverse communities, there are some demographics that have a large influence on the housing market. According to the U.S. Census Bureau Decennial Census and American Community Survey, some examples include:
San Diego County's households of married-couples with children under 18 is 21.7%, while San Francisco County is 12.3%
San Diego County's single population is 36.1%, while San Francisco County and Los Angeles County are 47% and 41.5% (respectively)
San Diego County and Los Angeles County leads in health care and educational services as the largest percentage of the workforce, while San Francisco County leads is "Professional and scientific"
This is merely a snapshot of some of the difference between the demographic profiles of the three counties. But economic factors like jobs and employment, in addition to marriage and birth rate help explain some of the other data listed above.
In general, it appears that the housing market in San Diego County is lagging behind home growth compared to Los Angeles County and San Francisco County. The good news is, San Diego remains among the most sought-after areas of the country in which to live—as long as you can afford it.

Henry Cavill in an interview with InSing on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, spoke on how the events of Man of Steel didn't affect Clark's view of the World, it only help him blooms into the Superhero he was meant to become, however he goes on to say that in Batman v Superman, Clark sees the World in a different way due to how humans react to him, that ends up hurting him deeply.
Cavill also goes on to say how Clark Kent in the film is the same Clark from the comics, unlike Richard Donner and Christopher Reeves's version of Clark Kent, which Cavill admits is still a beloved character.

If you have driven in Effingham County, you have most likely driven on a fly-ash road.
The county has more than 235 roads - about 153 miles - on which ash has been used as a base material. Recently we have seen a large amount of damage to these roads and are committed to correcting these issues in a timely and cost-effective manner.
The county began using ash from Georgia-Pacific in the early 2000s to improve the driving conditions of the county's dirt roads. After applying ash base to dirt roads for several years, the county has worked to surface-treat these roads in an attempt improve driving conditions.
The surface treatment that has been most commonly used is applied by laying a course of liquid asphalt emulsion covered with a series of varying-sized stones. By and large, this surface treatment has provided a much-improved driving surface to these old dirt roads.
Over the past several years, however, several of these ash roads have begun to deteriorate, which causes potholes, bare pavement shoulders and unpleasant driving conditions.
The Board of Commissioners has previously commissioned a study to report on the sustainability of the ash base, which showed the ash material itself is a stable base material.
The unseasonably wet and cold winters during the last several years has caused heaving and cracking in the existing surface treatment, which allows for water intrusion.
We are now working to develop the appropriate strategy to repair, reclaim and improve the driving conditions of these roads and the best method of surfacing to prevent further damage to the roadways.
The Public Works Department is working to repair potholes and performing routine maintenance to improve the current driving conditions of the roads.
County staff has completed a survey of the road conditions on all ash-based roads across the county. As temperatures climb and drier conditions continue, the roads will improve and our Public Works department will be better able to handle pothole repair.
The board is committed to a timely and cost-effective solution to these road issues. During the next several days and weeks we will be investigating the best methods to effect a long-term cure to these road issues.


An abusive christian husband has sued his wife in a sharia court in Abuja for praying and worshiping God too much.
Acording to Emeka Ugwuonye of the Due Process Advocates, who is the abused woman's lawyer, he shared the post on Facebook yesterday.
"The third major case of the day today: The man that knocked off the teeth of his wife showed his true color. Fellow Advocates, today has been a terrible day for me. I actually had more battles than I have revealed to you.
There was a third case. Remember the man in Abuja who beat his wife and knocked off three of her teeth. I told you he was being arraigned yesterday and we were asked to choose a court. That was moved to today. Just before he was to be taken to court, he went flat on his stomach and began to plead and beg his wife to have the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ on him Everybody joined in begging the woman not to press on with the case. They even begged her to beg DPA.
After all the begging, the woman agreed on the following conditions: (1) The man would be on probation for one year. He is not to touch his wife even once, otherwise this charge will be revived. He wrote an undertaking to that effect. (2) He will not yell at her or threaten her again. The man signed twice on every page.
With the undertaken, everything seemed okay. The woman went home. And the man was released. But when she got home, she found out that the man had, unknown to her, filed a case against her in Sharia Court. Can you imagine? This man and his wife have been Christians from Imo State. Indeed, one of the things the man accused his wife of was that she was praying and worshiping God too much. Among the people the man called to beg his wife were Pastors and church people. But the man sued the woman in a Sharia Court. He wants them to impose Islamic judgement on his Christian wife. (I attached the summons from the Sharia Court so you will not think he is joking again).

After 2015 shooting in Berkeley, man sentenced to more than 20 years in prison
By Emilie Raguso Oct. 22, 2018, 3:49 p.m. October 23, 2018

[Note: BPD updated the prison sentence Tuesday. This article has been updated to reflect the new information.]
A 41-year-old Alameda man has been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison in connection with a shooting that injured one person near Berkeley's San Pablo Park in 2015.
Jamell Tousant was sentenced Friday, the Berkeley Police Department said in a statement Monday. At the end of a two-week trial, an Alameda County Superior Court jury found him guilty of multiple assault and gun charges, BPD said.
The shooting that put Tousant in jail happened Aug. 15, 2015, in the 2800 block of Mabel Street just before 6:40 p.m. That evening, police said, he got out of a white vehicle and opened fire with an assault rifle at a group of four men walking on Mabel. He struck one of them in the leg. Tousant believed the group on Mabel was responsible for the fatal shooting of his son in Oakland several months earlier, authorities have said.
Officers who responded that day found a 35-year-old man who had been injured, as well as gunfire damage to two houses and at least one vehicle. Police found 7.62- and .45-caliber casings at the scene. The victim ultimately survived the shooting.
"A witness saw the suspect vehicle fleeing the scene and relayed the license plate to officers. Although not found that day, investigators were able to alert other local law enforcement agencies about the wanted vehicle," police said in Monday's statement. About two weeks later, Aug. 31, 2015, Oakland police spotted the vehicle in East Oakland. Tousant was behind the wheel. Inside the vehicle, police found a different gun — it was loaded but was unrelated to the Berkeley shooting — as well as a 7.62-caliber casing that was the same brand as the casings from Berkeley.
The Alameda County sheriff's office crime lab compared the bullet casing from Tousant's vehicle to casings from the Berkeley shooting and said they were all fired from the same assault rifle. Police said evidence also linked Tousant to a shooting in Oakland five days after the Berkeley shooting. There were 7.62- caliber casings found at that scene as well. BPD said officers found Tousant's cellphone in a rental car abandoned at that scene.
Tousant told BPD investigators he had not been in Berkeley since April or May. His 21-year-old son, also named Jamell, had recently been killed in a drive-by shooting in East Oakland. The elder Tousant said the last time he was in Berkeley was for his son's funeral.

But, according to court papers, Tousant's cellphone had pinged off a cell tower near Oregon and Mabel on Aug. 15 around the time of the Berkeley shooting. On his phone, police found a text message he had sent to his wife after the shooting that read, "I'm hot did something trying to see if the police come over," according to court documents. Also on the phone, police said, was an image from the Berkeleyside article describing the Aug. 15 shooting.
After searching Tousant's garage in Alameda in early September, Berkeley investigators said they found a high-capacity drum-style magazine often used with an assault rifle. During the search, police found a box of bullets matching the gun recovered when OPD stopped Tousant at the end of August, as well as a camouflage bulletproof vest.
Police noted that Tousant is not legally allowed to own weapons or ammunition because he is a felon "with violent convictions." According to court papers, a 2007 robbery conviction sent Tousant to prison.
In 1995, when he was 17, he was found responsible in juvenile court for two felonies: rape while acting in concert, and oral copulation by acting in concert with force. As a result, he was required to register as a sex offender, and was convicted in 2001, after an address change, for failing to update his registration information. That was a misdemeanor but it sent him to prison, according to court papers.
Tousant has been in custody since his arrest at his home in Alameda on Oct. 23, 2015.
"This arrest and conviction would not be possible without the assistance and cooperation of the Oakland Police Department, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, and the continued hard work and dedication of members of the Berkeley Police Department," police said in Monday's statement.

NWU engineers walk away with international award for tackling COVID-19
Issued by North West University
North-West, 25 Jun 2020
An initiative from the Faculty of Engineering at the North-West University (NWU) was recently honoured with an international award from the COVID-19 Innovation Challenge of the United Nations (UN) Africa Innovation and Investment Forum 2020.
According to Jean-Paul Adam of the United Nations Africa Innovation and Investment Forum, the novel coronavirus is threatening to undo the hard-earned health, economic and social development gains that Africa has registered since 2000.
"COVID-19 has overrun the well-resourced healthcare systems of some developed and developing countries, and several organisations, including the World Health Organisation, have issued cautionary statements encouraging African countries to boost their healthcare capabilities to meet the impending surge in infections."
Adam says Africa traditionally depends on external supplies of medical equipment, diagnostic reagents and tools, protective gear and medicines. "With a global scramble for limited medical supplies, Africa may have to turn inwards. The continent may need to leverage the limited technology and innovation capabilities and harness and stimulate its full entrepreneurial talent to respond, deepen national and regional supply chains and optimise global knowledge partnerships to meet the challenges posed by COVID-19 and beyond."
It is in this regard that the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and its partners invited researchers, firms, public and private development agencies, government leaders, innovators, youths and development partners to showcase their innovations at the first Africa Innovation and Investment Forum 2020. The focus of the forum was on COVID-19, and it took place from 15 to 19 June 2020.
According to Prof Leenta Grobler, project leader and specialist in health-related engineering innovations, their COVID-19 screening solution involves the digitalisation of the screening and data capturing process.
"TjopTjop is a mobile app-based system that conveniently collects and stores the health vitals of students, learners, staff and customers, without the paperwork. It saves considerable time and effort at screening points, stores data safely off-site and relays or reports selected data packets to designated addressees. It requires basic electronic thermometers and smartphones that are commonly available. It currently operates on Android phones, but the Apple-app version is already under development."
An Excel-format list can be created for participating schools, containing every authorised person's identification number, name and designation (grade and class, teacher, parent or department) and an emergency contact number. This information is encoded by the NWU's engineering team as a QR code and printed on an ID card, which can be provided to every learner.
The UN's Innovation Challenge 2020 identified and showcased some of the top technologies and innovations from across Africa and beyond, explored investment and market needs and identified business opportunities.
The NWU's TjopTjop initiative came out top of its class. "In the category of 'contact tracing', we would like to congratulate Prof Leenta Grobler and her team for the excellent innovation that they presented. It is wonderful to see Africa responding to the COVID-19 challenges," Adam says.
Prof Grobler was over the moon about receiving the award for the TjopTjop initiative. "It is a great honour to receive this recognition from such a prestigious organisation. I sincerely hope that TjopTjop will help us all get back to school and back to business and move towards a post COVID-19 world."

Q: How to add child columns / divide columns in datatables.js I have a dataset with child columns. How can I emulate using datatables.js?
Ex:
+-------+----------------------------+-----------+
| Name  | Marks                      | Rank      |
|       +---------+----------+-------+           |
|       |Internal | External | Total |           |
+-------+---------+----------+-------+-----------+
| Sandy |  24     |  55      | 79    |Distinction|
+-------+---------+----------+-------+-----------+
| Bill  |  13     |  25      | 38    | Fail      |
+-------+---------+----------+-------+-----------+

Currently I am using this, but when I save the table as csv / xls, I get
+------------------------------------------------+
| Name  |Internal | External | Total | Rank      |
|------------------------------------------------|
| Sandy |  24     |  55      | 79    |Distinction|
|------------------------------------------------|
| Bill  |  13     |  25      | 38    | Fail      |
+------------------------------------------------+

But we have an option of adding child rows.
Is there any way to have child columns? Or can we divide a column?

A: Unfortunately, this is not possible with the current version of DataTables. See
this question on the DataTables forums.

There is no option for that at the moment. Sorry.
Allan

From the creator of the plugin.
You noted in a comment that it is possible in excel to make these tables, but with the current version of DataTables there is no way to automatically export your DataTable in this format.
Edit:
Here's a much more recent forum post confirming that this feature is not available.

A: You can emulate the structure, but not the layout.  A JSON logical equivalent of your data would be:
[{
    "Name": "Sandy",
    "Marks": {
        "Internal": "24",
        "External": "55",
        "Total": "79"
    },
    "Rank": "Distinction"
}, {
    "Name": "Bill",
    "Marks": {
        "Internal": "13",
        "External": "25",
        "Total": "38"
    },
    "Rank": "Fail"
}]

The way you might set this up using the child table trick in the link is to put Name, Rank and Marks in the table, and when you click on a line to open it, you'll see Internal, External and Total as "child rows" in the embedded table.
I suspect that what you are doing to get the layout you have is putting two rows in your header.  I don't know Excel well enough to know whether or not this JSON structure will import in such a way as to automatically give you the layout you want.  If it does, perhaps you can consider some sort of hack where you prepare one structure for the table and another for the Excel.

I was going to watch Baptiste but I just wanted to add my two cents to a debate going on on Instagram around whether you can understand what it feels like to be a single parent when you are "solo-parenting" for a period of time, meaning your partner is away.
My main point is that ALL parenting is hard and as a single mum of one, I have no idea what it's like to have 2,3 or 4 children and looking after my daughter and a friend of hers for a few hours will never compare to doing it 24/7.
Now what I also believe and agree with is that parenting alone for a while gives you a taste of the logistical juggle that single parenting is but not of the emotional side of things. Yes you'll realise that not being able to ask ANYBODY to help makes things a lot harder at home and you'll realise that you need to be super organised to avoid chaos but you won't know all the feelings that go with it and the sense of permanency of the situation and the lack of emotional support from the other parent.
On the other hand living together as 2 parents is no panacea either, living with someone who doesn't help is probably a nightmare and very frustrating too. The grass is definitely not always greener and I feel very lucky and happy with my situation. Nobody knows what really goes on behind closed doors and I would never assume that "standard parenting a deux" means one parent is fully supported by the other (there should be an accent on that a but I can't find it!).
I do see how all the posts like "I'm solo-parenting this week and it's so hard, I don't know how single parents do it" can offend/annoy/upset single parents. We "do it" because we have no choice and personally I do it with a lot of help from babysitters, a flexible employer and help from friends and family and a healthy dose of self motivational "I can do this shit by myself" type of attitude.
To parents who are "solo-parenting":
-if you're going to shout about it on social media just be aware that you are indeed dealing with similar logistics to a single parent BUT it's temporary and you are in a very different position and you might get some negative comments by the way
To single parents:
-come and be part of the frolo_app community
-join Gingerbread
-download the bubble app
-be proud
-remember everything changes so doing it all alone may not last forever
And let's not forget that it's only recently that dads are so hands on and helpful. My mum and grandmother were not single mums but they sure did 99% of the parenting and everything house related.
By the way mum, if you're reading this, thank you so much for spending hours re-organising A's bedroom before you went back to France, I appreciate it more than if you bought be a Chanel bag (however if there are any rich readers out there, I won't say no to one).
I've no idea what it's like to parent in a slum or whilst having a night job or 4 kids or a sick partner etc etc but if ever I had a taste of it, I probably wouldn't make a big deal of it. Find your community, those who can really understand you and be mindful of others' feelings, that's all.
They say "fed is best" with regards to babies, I say "parenting is best", as long as you're consciously parenting with care and love then it's going to be OK.
« My Little Pleasures in Life
What I Would Tell My 15 Year-Old Self (who was crying in the toilets of her new school) »


elli & nels *in stitches*: Putting an end to "selfishness"
Selfish Sewing. If you sew, you've probably heard the term (and even if you don't sew, you may know it). Selfish sewing = sewing for oneself...or does it?
Staring at all my little log cabin blocks last month, after finishing the SewCanShe New Year Sewalong, I finally decided that they should be made into a big ol' tote bag. Perfect for diapers and baby/toddler paraphernalia, or library books, or even groceries. My toddler instantly claimed it as "hers", for about 15 minutes. Then it was my diaper bag for a couple of days - until I read Robin's post.
This is for me. It now proudly holds all of my quilting pieces I'm working on, and my embroidery projects.
Then I realized - that tote is MINE. It's not for diapers. It's not for kids' books, or for changes of their clothes. It's not for my husband to carry around his laptop in (okay, so he wouldn't be caught dead carrying it, but if he wanted to, he can't). It's mine, for my stuff, whatever I want. And that's okay.
I have my selfish moments, for sure (I do NOT share my food, chocolate in particular). But I do give. I give my sanity and my energy (what little of both I have) to my kids, constantly. Which is fine. I give the same to my husband, and I don't begrudge him that (much ;) ). Minutes after finishing that bag, and admiring it (I've never made a bag before, and I wasn't using any sort of pattern at all) I was already thinking of a few people I could give it to.
What's wrong with that? Well, nothing. Except...I worked hard on that bag. It came from me. The only part of it that belongs to anyone else was the tutorial for the log cabin blocks (which was awesome, and now I'm kind of addicted) - but the layout, the measurements, the construction: all me. And I love it! There are imperfections, sure, but I DID IT, and I'm proud of it!
So why give it up? Because that's what I've conditioned myself to do. I've only been sewing for three years - but in that time, I have never once sewn anything for myself. At least, nothing that I've actually kept. There is always someone who wants it or needs it more, and I've given.
I don't regret the past three years, or anything I've ever given away! Of course not! It wouldn't be any fun at all to sew if all I did was keep it for myself - part of sewing is community, and sharing with others. There is no better feeling than giving someone a gift that you have made yourself, and are proud of. But that feeling extends to giving yourself those handmade gifts, too. Or at least, it should.
That isn't being selfish. That's why the term "selfish sewing" is so offensive. It implies that any time you sew anything, it had better be for someone else. It implies that should you make something for yourself, it had better be something you need. It asks "how dare you take that time spent sewing and use it on yourself?"
Well, how about because I can? Because I want to? Because I need to, for myself? That time spent sewing is mine. It's my sanity-saver, some days. It's my passion.
That post put into words a feeling I've had, but couldn't express. We should be allowed - no, encouraged - to sew for ourselves. As Robin said - it's self CARE sewing. It's not selfish at all.
Self care sewing = sewing for oneself. Because you need to, because you want to. That's reason enough.
Now, kindly excuse the miserable cell phone photo, and go sign your pledge here. And then go make something for yourself! Wear it, carry it, love it! It's yours - for you.

Studies of Dwarf Mongoose pups. To my surprise, mongooses are NOT part of the Mustelidae family, despite their somewhat weasel-like appearance. Instead, Mongooses belong to their own family, Herpestidae, which also includes the Meerkat.
The Dwarf Mongoose is Africa's smallest carnivore.

In John's Gospel we read, 'Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, 'We have found the Messiah' (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus.
Andrew was never the same after he met Jesus and of course he is not the only one. Christ Church is full of people whose lives have been transformed for good by Jesus Christ and we are therefore passionate about sharing his gospel with others. Andrew gives us a model of how we can do that, by inviting friends, family, neighbours and colleagues to a place where they can meet Jesus, not in person but in his Word, the Bible.
So we host different events throughout the year especially with the guest in mind. These will often lead into a Christianity Explored course (http://christianityexplored.org/) which we run once a term to introduce those who are keen to investigate further.
We also aim to make all our Sunday services as welcoming and accessible as possible so those who walk in off the street or are new to the Christian faith can relax and feel at home.
Finally, every follower of Jesus has their own story and we delight to train and equip one another to share the hero of our stories with those that have yet to meet him.
Educate the church family by raising awareness or world mission, both at home and overseas, teaching people how to pray and building a close partnership between church family and our mission partners.
Challenge the church to pray faithfully and to give generously to world mission, and to help individuals to discern a possible calling to the mission field.
Support our mission partners, with a focus on those called to long-term service and encouraging others in short-term mission and supporting the evangelistic activities of organisations in this country and overseas.
Part of our budget is set aside for short term mission trips and this year we will have seen members of our church family head out to South Africa and Kenya with Mission organisations.
We aim to support our mission partners through regular communication, prayer and giving. We support both longer term mission partners who are serving overseas, UK-based individuals, organisations and churches, and we help with training costs and evangelistic activities as opportunities arise.
For further details about our mission partners and the Mission Support Group (MSG) please visit the MSG noticeboard at the back of church for updates about mission and prayer letters.

MANDI MASDEN
Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin
By Michael Benjamin Washington
Directed by Lucie Tiberghien
At La Jolla Playhouse September 8 – October 4, 2015 & Kansas City Rep October 16 - November 15, 2015
THE PORTRAIT OF REDEMPTION
In the sweltering political and racial heat of 1963, Bayard Rustin — the brilliant proponent of non-violent civil disobedience — is assigned to orchestrate an unprecedented march for jobs and freedom. Exiled from the Civil Rights Movement by both internal and external forces, Rustin grapples with his last chance for professional restoration and spiritual redemption.
Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin is a recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New American Play Award.
"The story's energy and tempo pick up when Miriam Caldwell (Mandi Masden delivering a star-worthy performance) arrives for an interview for a staff position. She's a quick study, not timid holding movement leaders' feet to the fire when it comes to women's rights, and is soon at the center of the action. "
— LYNNE FRIEDMANN, CultureVulture
"Mandi Madsen is the perfect foil for Rustin. Standing up to him on occasion and demanding a woman be part of the March she stands shoulder to shoulder with Rustin as a leading figure in the equation."
— CAROL DAVIS, Examiner
"Masden is both tenacious and perceptive as Miriam Caldwell, portraying a woman sensitive to the power structures around her but committed to having her say."
— LIZ COOK, The Pitch
"Masden's Miriam is a knockout, and her character should encourage women with good ideas everywhere to speak up."
— JEAN LOWERISON, SDGLN
Our Lady of Kibeho
By Katori Hall
Directed by Michael Greif
At The Pershing Square Signature Theatre October 28th - December 14, 2014
In 1981, a village girl in Rwanda claims to see the Virgin Mary. Ostracized by her schoolmates and labeled disturbed, everyone refuses to believe, until the impossible starts happening again and again. Skepticism gives way to fear, faith, and fate, causing upheaval in the school community and beyond. Based on real events, Our Lady of Kibeho is the second production of Olivier Award-winning playwright Katori Hall's Residency at Signature.
"The acting is across-the-board superb. Ms. Okafor's gentle-spirited Alphonsine and Ms. Masden's more starchy Anathalie are delicately etched portraits of girls who are at once young for their age and, as they come under fire, quickly gain emotional maturity. "
— CHARLES ISHERWOOD, New York Times
"Nneka Okafor, Mandi Masden and Joaquina Kalukango play the three visionaries so convincingly that you'll soon forget that they are, in fact, seasoned actors: They behave just like giggling schoolgirls who've been invaded and transformed by the supernatural. [Kibeho] is the kind of issue-driven, ethnically flavored story that the Pulitzer judges love—and it also happens to be one hell of an exciting show. "
— TERRY TEACHOUT, Wall Street Journal
Directed by Julie Taymor
At Theatre for A New Audience October 19, 2013 – January 12, 2014
Julie Taymor, Tony Award winner for direction of The Lion King, stages Shakespeare's joyous comedy about the universal theme of love and its complications: lust, disappointment, confusion, marriage. A Midsummer Night's Dream brilliantly conjoins four intertwined stories: the marriage of the Athenian Duke Theseus to the Amazon queen Hippolyta; the warring Oberon and Titania, king and queen of the fairies; the madcap follies of four lovers in a forest; and the comically earnest efforts of a group of working men to stage a love-play for the royal wedding. They are all fair game for mischievous Puck who scrambles their desires as the the otherworldly night of confusion, passion and diligence proves oddly momentous, touching every life to the quick. Taymor's vision will be a fantasia of light and shadow. The stage will breathe with the miraculous charms and powerful illusions of love.
"Of the four, only Helena (Mandi Masden) seems to be an actual young woman, unconstrained by category. [Taymor] allows the spurned girl the production's only moment of fully human emotion: the unbearable realization that Demetrius, who has spent the play rejecting her vilely, really really likes her. "
— JESSE GREEN, Vulture
THE PIANO LESSON
By August Wilson
Directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson
At The Pershing Square Signature Theatre October 30, 2012 - January 20, 2013
Signature returns to the rich body of work of its 2006/07 Playwright-in-Residence August Wilson with a new production of his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Piano Lesson. In Pittsburgh's Hill District in 1936, the Charles family battle their surroundings and each other over their shared legacy -- an antique piano. The fourth play of August Wilson's epic Century Cycle, The Piano Lesson is a stunning and moving drama of family, history, and survival.
"This immensely satisfying show, directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson...brings a timely reminder of how consoling, how restorative, how emotionally sustaining great theater can be. [When] performed with the commitment and artistry that Mr. Santiago-Hudson and his cast bring to this production, you never want the sweet, sad music to end."


Bicycle paths at Lake Garda ↔ Discover Lake Garda!
One of the best ways to explore the beautiful landscape of Lake Garda is by bike. The well-maintained safe bike paths run along the southern shore, and they are perfect for cyclists of all ages.
A bike tour is an enjoyable activity for the whole family, and Lake Garda offers different tours for all age ranges and abilities. Children, beginners, e-bike users and experienced cyclists can all enjoy the stunning scenery by bike. The tracks are mainly located on the waterfront in the south and east of the lake where they extend into the countryside and weave through the idyllic vineyards.
For a bike ride with children, we recommend a route where all sections are on a separate cycle path away from the main roads. Even on the waterfront, it can be a bit crowded for the little cyclists in the main season. A particular highlight for kids is a trip on a bike path on Lake Garda, where they can return by boat or ferry. The possibility of a boat trip motivates small athletes, and in doing so, you do not have to travel the same route twice.
Wine lovers should definitely take a bike ride through the vineyards. Here you can cycle from winery to winery, learn about winemaking, taste some excellent wines, and perhaps purchase a bottle for your own cellar or drink later!
The hilly countryside to the south of Lake Garda has a lot to offer bikers and gourmets. The cycle paths cosily snake through the picturesque landscape and lead through lively villages to remote and secluded areas. Here, you can savour the peace and quiet looking over a beautiful panorama. In the quaint country inns along the way, you can enjoy delicious traditional dishes and experience the local hospitality, refreshed and ready to hit the pedals once again!

Michael John Parenti (born September 30, 1933) is an American political scientist, academic historian and cultural critic who writes on scholarly and popular subjects. He has taught at universities as well as run for political office. Parenti is well known for his Marxist writings and lectures. He is a notable intellectual of the American Left.

Education and personal life
Michael Parenti was raised by an Italian-American working-class family in the East Harlem neighborhood of New York City. After graduating from high school, Parenti worked for several years. Upon returning to school, he received a BA from the City College of New York, an MA from Brown University and a PhD in political science from Yale University. Parenti is the father of Christian Parenti, an academic, author and journalist.

Career

For many years Parenti taught political and social science at various institutions of higher learning. Eventually he devoted himself full-time to writing, public speaking, and political activism. He is the author of 20 books and over 300 articles. His works have been translated into at least 18 languages.
Parenti lectures frequently throughout the United States and abroad.

Parenti's writings cover a wide range of subjects: U.S. politics, culture, ideology, political economy, imperialism, fascism, communism, democratic socialism, free-market orthodoxies, conservative judicial activism, religion, ancient history, modern history, historiography, repression in academia, news and entertainment media, technology, environmentalism, sexism, racism, Venezuela, the wars in Iraq and Yugoslavia, ethnicity, and his own early life. His book Democracy for the Few, now in its ninth edition, is a critical analysis of U.S. society,
economy, and political institutions and a college-level political science textbook published by Wadsworth Publishing. In recent years he has addressed such subjects as "Empires: Past and Present," "US Interventionism: the Case of Iraq," "Race, Gender, and Class Power," "Ideology and History," "The Overthrow of Communism," and "Terrorism and Globalization."

In 1974, Parenti ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in Vermont as the candidate of the democratic socialist Liberty Union Party; he came in third place, with 7.1% of the vote. Parenti was once a friend of Bernie Sanders, but he later split with Sanders over Sanders's support for the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

In the 1980s, he was a visiting fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. In 2003, the Caucus for a New Political Science gave him a Career Achievement Award.
In 2007, he received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from U.S. Representative Barbara Lee.

He served for 12 years as a judge for Project Censored. He also is on the advisory boards of Independent Progressive Politics Network and Education Without Borders as well as the advisory editorial boards of New Political Science and Nature, Society and Thought.

Appearances in media
Apart from several recordings of some of his public speeches, Parenti has also appeared in the 1992 documentary The Panama Deception, the 2004 Liberty Bound and 2013 Fall and Winter documentaries as an author and social commentator.

Parenti was interviewed in Boris Malagurski's documentary film The Weight of Chains 2 (2014) about the former Yugoslavia. He was also interviewed for two episodes of the Showtime series Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, speaking briefly about the Dalai Lama (Episode 305 – Holier Than Thou) and patriotism (Episode 508 – Mount Rushmore).

New York City-based punk rock band Choking Victim use a number of samples from Michael Parenti's lectures in their album No Gods, No Managers.
