It was a busy session for the 132nd General Assembly. There were several pieces of legislation signed into law by Governor Kasich that impact members of the OPBA. This article provides a description of each bill and any pertinent information. All of these bills take effect March 20, 2019 unless otherwise noted.
State Representative Dave Greenspan (R-Westlake) put forth HB 38 providing that purposely causing the death of a first responder or military member is aggravated murder when the offender knows or has reasonable cause to know the person is first responder or military member, and it is the offender's specific purpose to kill a member of these classes. State Representative Bernadine Kent (D-Columbus) put forth HB 137 making peace officers mandatory reporters of child abuse or neglect and expanding the types of peace officers authorized to receive reports of child abuse and neglect.
State Representatives Gary Scherer (R-Circleville) and Stephanie Howse (D-Cleveland) put forth HB 572 which is effective March 22, 2019 and revises service credits under the Public Employees Retirement System, the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund, the State Teachers Retirement System, and the School Employees Retirement System.
Senate Bill 33 put forth by Senator John Eklund (R-Chardon) takes effect March 23, 2018 and allows disclosure of information from LEADS to a defendant or defendant's counsel when formally requested pursuant to the rules of discovery in a traffic or criminal case. Senate Bill 37 put forth by Senator Cliff Hite (R-Findlay) requires the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission to develop and conduct a chief of police training course for newly appointed village, city, and township chiefs. SB 37 applies to those chiefs appointed on or after January 1, 2018.
In an unusual turn of events, Governor Kasich vetoed two bills impacting OPBA members which were overridden by both chambers of the General Assembly.
The officer or investigator is not consuming beer or intoxicating liquor and is not under the influence of alcohol or a drug of abuse.
In a contentious battle, Senate Bill 296 was originally put forth by Senator Frank LaRose (R-Hudson) and Senator Jay Hottinger (R-Newark) to revise the payments that surviving family members receive from the Ohio Public Safety Officers Death Benefit Fund. The bill would also permit surviving spouses and children to participate in the health, dental, and vision benefits offered to state employees as if the survivors were employees of this state. The bill was subsequently amended in the House Finance Committee by Representative Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) as a vehicle to increase the compensation of elected public officers through 2028; to create the Public Office Compensation Advisory Commission; to create the Office of InnovateOhio; to allow the Lieutenant Governor to receive the salary of the head of an office within the Governor's office in lieu of the Lieutenant Governor's statutory salary; and to declare an emergency.
Under the pay language, legislators and statewide nonjudicial elected officers will experience a three-year phase in receiving raises of 4% in 2019 and 2020, and 3% in 2021. Annual adjustments after that of 1.75% will sunset in 2028. Additionally, committee leaders will receive a $9,000 per year stipend, up from $6,500. Leaders of non-finance subcommittees will receive $6,750 per year, up from $5,000. Finally, judges, prosecutors, and sheriffs will see raises of 1.75%. Other county officeholders will receive 5% raises in 2019 and 2020 and then revert to the 1.75% yearly increase. Township and board of elections officials will receive annual 1.75% raises from 2019-2020.
These amendments caused Senator LaRose to remove his name from sponsorship of the bill as this was a large departure from the initial intent of the bill. The bill, as amended drew criticism from Governor Kasich who was not in favor of pay raises during the lame duck session of the legislature. Governor Kasich vetoed the bill, sending it back to the House and Senate for override votes. The Senate voted 25-6 and the House voted 71-16 to override the Governor's veto.
There were a slew of anti-labor bills put forth in the 132nd General Assembly by State Representative John Becker (R-Union Township, Clermont County) that did not make it out of committee. Some of the bills sought to enact a new section of the Ohio Constitution and amending Ohio's Public Employee Collective Bargaining Law (O.R.C. 4117) which would prohibit laws, rules, and agreements requiring public sector employees to join or pay dues to a union and prohibiting unions from representing nonmember public sector employees in employment related matters. Other offerings from Rep. Becker included enacting a new section of the Ohio Constitution subjecting any public employee collective bargaining representative to an annual election to remain certified as the exclusive representative. This change could also prohibit dues and other fees payable to an employee organization from being deducted from the payroll check of a public employee and to prohibit those dues and fees from being used for political purposes unless authorized by the public employee.
Finally, Rep. Becker sought to enact the "Double Dippers Inappropriately Privileged (DDIP)" to provide that an individual retiring on or after the effective date of this act from one of the state's public retirement systems who is re-employed as a public employee will not receive the pension portion of the retirement allowance for the period of employment.
Making peace officers, firefighters, and emergency medical workers diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder arising from employment without an accompanying physical injury eligible for compensation and benefits under Ohio's Workers' Compensation Law for up to one year. These employees would be prohibited from receiving a disability benefit from a state retirement system for post-traumatic stress disorder arising from employment without an accompanying physical injury during the time period the person receives compensation and benefits under the Workers' Compensation Law for the disorder.
Authorizing a township peace officer who serves a population of greater than 5,000 to make arrests for specified traffic offenses on interstate highways within and adjacent to the officer's territory. Townships would be prohibited from using traffic law photo-monitoring devices on interstate highways.
Making negligently causing serious physical harm to a law enforcement officer while operating a motor vehicle or other specified mode of transportation a violation of the offense of vehicular assault.
Allowing an income tax credit for law enforcement officials who purchase safety or protective items to be used in the course of official law enforcement activities.
Increasing the penalty for assaulting a police dog or horse and to include search and rescue dogs and horses in the prohibition against assaulting or harassing a police animal.
Classifying resisting arrest as an offense of violence and to increase the penalties for certain resisting arrest offenses.
Enhancing the homestead exemption for surviving spouses of peace officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel killed in the line of duty.
Authorizing a law enforcement officer to arrest a driver of a motor vehicle if the officer has probable cause to believe that the driver committed a moving violation and that the moving violation was a contributing factor in a motor vehicle accident that caused serious physical harm to or the death of another person. Authorizing the officer to request a warrant to conduct a chemical test to determine whether the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol if there is probable cause to do so. Authorizing the officer to order the administration of a chemical test under specified circumstances. Requiring the mandatory bind over (for trial as an adult rather than a juvenile) of a 16 or 17-year-old who is alleged to have committed aggravated vehicular homicide.
Eliminating the Bureau of Motor Vehicles administrative fee for nonstandard license plates related to firefighters and police officers.
Requiring the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund Board of Trustees to elect a retiree as chairperson every third year.
The OPBA will actively advocate for legislation that will make your job safer. Please direct any feedback or suggestions you have on legislation to Brian Holb at bholb@opba.com.

Haunted Cemeteries in the State of Maryland
Lori Gross
Introduction to Maryland
Maryland was first explored by John Cabot in 1498. The first European settlements here were in 1634. It became the seventh Colony in 1788. There are almost 5,000 cemeteries in the state of Maryland which covers 12,407 square miles. Here are some of the most haunted.

Antietam National Battlefield Cemetery
Antietam National Battlefield Cemetery is located in Sharpsburg in Washington County. Over 4,000 soldiers were killed at the Battle of Antietam when General Robert E. Lee made his first invasion into the north on September 17, 1862. The National Cemetery has almost 4,000 interments. The Battlefield Cemetery has 43.
The first shots of the battle were fired from Dunker Church, which had been built in 1852. Paranormal investigators have captured numerous EVPs (Electromagnetic Voice Phenomena) here. There are shadowy figures that appear here but only at the left front corner.
Apparently the whole area is pretty haunted. To the south of the church is a road called Bloody Lane. There have been many claims of unnatural occurrences along the road. Some of the things reported include the sounds of gunfire and screams, disembodied voices, various EVPs, cold spots, and strange photographs. The Burnside Bridge over Antietam Creek has also had many of the same phenomena. It is located southeast of the battlefield on Burnside Bridge Road.
Other nearby areas with activity are the Maryland Monument, located across the street from the church and both the West and North Woods. There has also been activity at the Mumma Cemetery located east of the Philadelphia

Rose Hill Cemetery
Rose Hill Cemetery is the oldest public cemetery in Washington County. Located in Hagerstown, it was founded in 1866 on 30 acres and now sits on over 100. There are almost 40,000 interments here. The Washington Confederate Cemetery is a separate cemetery located within Rose Hill. It contains over 2,000 graves of soldiers who died at the nearby battles of South Mountain and Antietam.
There is a crematorium situated at the back of the cemetery. Reports of screams and the smell of burning hair coming from the crematorium are quite common. This is the only phenomenon that is reported here on a consistent basis.

Rocky Hill Cemetery
Rocky Hill Cemetery is also known as Grace Rocky Hill Lutheran Church Cemetery. It was established in 1767 with the oldest grave belonging to Anna Flinner in 1766. Located in Woodsboro in Frederick County, there are a little over 1,200 interments.
There is a legend here of a bleeding tombstone. The grave is that of Mary Ann Fox who died in 1783 when she was 34 years old. She left behind several young children. Her husband, George, remarried and the new stepmother was very mean to the children. This caused Mary's tombstone to bleed and it still occurs occasionally to this day.
Visitors to the cemetery at night have claimed to see people there who would just disappear. One visitor claimed to have been knocked down by an invisible hand.
Another story is of a group of friends who were just walking around looking at the oldest tombstones when they all experienced a feeling of terror at the same time. They said there was no logical reason for the feeling, but they all left immediately.
Another sighting is of a brown shadow that darts from grave to grave, appearing to try to hide behind the tombstones.
Druid Ridge Cemetery
Druid Ridge Cemetery is located in Pikesville in Baltimore County. There are over 8,000 interments dating back to the late 1700s.
There is a statue here that has always been surrounded in controversy. The statue is called "Black Aggie" and is actually a copy of another monument called "Grief" created by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gauden in 1891 for the Adams Memorial at Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, D.C. It was placed in the Druid Ridge Cemetery in 1926 on the grave of General Felix Agnus.
There are several urban legends surrounding the statue. One is that once a year all the souls in the cemetery convene at the statue. There is no reference as to which night that would be.
Another is that the grass wouldn't grow in front of the statue. This appears to be true and there is no apparent reason for the grass not to grow there. There's also a legend that if you sit in the lap of "Black Aggie" all night you would always be haunted by the ghosts of the cemetery. There have also been reports that the statue could move her arms and sometimes here eyes would glow red.
There were so many after hour visitors and vandalism that the Agnus family donated the statue to the Smithsonian Institute in 1987. She currently resides in the courtyard behind the Dolley Madison House in Washington, D.C.

Gardens of Faith Cemetery
The Gardens of Faith Cemetery is located in Rosedale in Baltimore County. It is also known as Gardens of Faith Memorial Gardens. There are over 6,000 interments going back to the early 1900s.
There are two ghosts here who seem to be guarding the cemetery in shifts. One is known as the "Grey Lady" and appears just as the sun goes down. She is not threatening, just watchful. She strolls throughout the cemetery as if she is protecting it.
As the sun comes up the "Grey Lady" disappears and a gentleman ghost takes her place. He too is peaceful and just ambles around keeping his eye on things. He doesn't like loud sounds though and will disappear if visitors make too much noise. He will reappear in another part of the cemetery.

Todd's Inheritance Cemetery
Todd's Inheritance Cemetery is located in North Point in Baltimore County. It is on the grounds of a farm called Todd's Inheritance that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. There are over 45 graves here, the oldest marker is from 1717. The graves are almost all from the Todd family.
The house that sits on the property is said to be very haunted. A woman is often seen standing in the attic window with a candle in her hands. The theory is she is waiting for her soldier to come home from the war.
The cemetery is located directly behind the house. Many ghosts are seen here, almost as many as there are graves. For some reason the souls here are very restless.
The house does not have electricity to it anymore, but if someone enters the cemetery after dark the lights in the house come on.
Saint Pauls Kent Churchyard
Saint Pauls Kent Churchyard is located in Chestertown in Kent County at the corner of Sandy Bottom Road and Ricauds Branch Road. There are close to 1,000 interments sitting on 19 acres here dating back to Andrew Hanson in 1655. Famous actress Tallulah Bankhead was buried here in 1968.
One of the stories here has to do with Ms. Bankhead. When Tallulah was diagnosed with emphysema she moved to nearby Rock Hill to stay with her sister Eugenia. When she died she was buried in the Kent Churchyard and when Eugenia died eleven years later she was laid to rest right beside her. Their graves were covered with identical slabs, only the dates and names were different. The story about Tallulah's grave is that if you lie down on top of it and press your ear to the slab you will hear her singing.
An investigator who went to check out the story for himself got to the graveyard and then he couldn't find the grave. Frustrated, he went into the empty church and just sat quietly for a few minutes. Suddenly an idea of where he should look popped into his head. He got up and headed to the front door. Just as he reached for it the door opened, as if someone had pulled it open from the outside. He went through the door, but no one was there. He walked straight to Tallulah's grave, but then he decided not to lie down on it. He felt he'd had enough encounters for the day.

Oxon Hill Cemetery
Oxon Hill United Methodist Church was built in 1811 and in the early 1900s was moved closer to the road. The cemetery is located where the church originally stood. There are 36 interments dating back to 1854. This Prince George's County cemetery has now been closed because no one was taking care of it.
There are three ghosts here. One is a man dressed as a lumberjack. He will go up to people and ask them why they are there. He just wanders around a bit and then disappears.
The other two ghosts are a brother and sister who are seen playing here. The only grave markers that fit their description are of the children of Samuel and Clara Uron. Four-year-old Katie died in October of 1878 and then her three-year-old brother, Daniel, died three days later.

Meow: Cylvia Hayes and Her Kitty Cats Thought They Were Part of Kitzhaber 'House Hold'
John Kitzhaber did what he had to do: Say he loved his obviously unethical, greedy, grifter girlfriend while technically trying to cut her loose from his quickly troubling legal case.
Did Governor Kitzhaber himself financially gain by directing lucrative contracts to Cylvia Hayes?
I do solemnly swear that I've been up to no good.
Image Credit: The Oregonian
That's the main legal issue this graft, corruption and influence peddling case boils down to. If Cylvia Hayes were part of his household, then John Kitzhaber would personally benefit from the contracts Kitzhaber and his staff sent her way.
So, is (or was) she part of his household when the alleged illegalities occurred? Before they were accused of being crooks, the answer was yes. After scrutiny, Kitzhaber cast doubt on his previous claims.
Note the Kitzhaber 'meaning of 'is' is' moment at the Governor's recent news conference.
Governor Kitzhaber answers questions about the first lady
Governor John Kitzhaber held a press conference to read a statement and then answer questions about Cylvia Hayes, the first lady
Let's go over what we know.
He insisted we call her the 'First Lady.'
Hayes was gifted with branding of First Lady on government websites and allowed to use the title for personal gain in her professional life.
He ensconced her at the Governor's mansion and counted her as part of his household for years.
She kept her animals at Mahonia Hall even though she still held onto her Bend home.
Let's go over real questions of whether she was legally part of his household. Some of these statements are from professionals who deal with these kinds of questions frequently.
The definition of 'household' is in a gray area.
Which house is Hayes's or Kitzhaber's primary residence, vacation home, who gets a deduction for which place, etc., is key.
The governor may legally have an out on this when it comes to the SEI ethics filings. It is ambiguously applied. The problem is that Kitzhaber has claimed Hayes as part of his household in other applications, but is now suggesting "except in the case of the application of any ethics' laws".
She might technically be a transitory member of his household and therefore arguably not a member.
Of course the public questions about whether Hayes was a member of the household came only after investigators' big beams of scrutiny penetrated the forcefield of Mahonia Hall. It was then Governor Kitzhaber did his best 'hummmmina hummina hummina act and pretended not to know if Cylvia Hayes really was a member of his household.
He was, in effect, taking his trango barracuda and slicing that rope leaving her to swing from her own anchor.
Whoa, watch those wind gusts, Cylvia.
Well of course, she was never any lady and she certainly wasn't first. John Kitzhaber did what he had to do: Say he loved his obviously unethical, greedy, grifter girlfriend while technically trying to cut her loose from his quickly troubling legal case.
Would that the Governor have cut loose Cylvia's ideas of graft and influence peddling when they started.

Visit to See Pope Francis Rewarding for Saint Leo Community
Tags: Featured Saint Leo in the News
28 September 2015 - By University Communications
Saint Leo in the News
Members of the Saint Leo University and Saint Leo Abbey returned from trips of a lifetime to see Pope Francis on his U.S. visit to Washington, DC, and Philadelphia.

Father Stephan Brown, SVD, assistant to the president, University Ministry, accompanied Joshua Bartholomew, '17, and Emmanuel D. Mulowayi, graduate assistant in the MBA program to Washington, DC. Also making the journey to the nation's capital was Abbot Isaac J. Camacho, OSB, '95, and Brother Lucius Amarillas.
Traveling to Philadelphia to see "Papa," were Tiffany Fettig, '16, and Dr. Marc Pugliese, an assistant professor of religion and theology in Virginia, who works with the Diocese of Richmond (VA).
"I don't think I've ever seen that many people gathered in one place," Dr. Pugliese said. "The crowd for Mass stretched from the Philadelphia Art Museum to City Hall, which is about eight city blocks. It was a very powerful experience.
Photo: Pope Francis greets the crowd in Philadelphia. Photo by Gabriel Pugliese.
"In his homily Pope Francis used Mark 9:38—43,45,47-48 to speak about openness to God's spirit and work in all people and places (not just in "our group"), faith acted out as faithfulness in both the small things as well as the 'big' things, and the now familiar themes of social justice and family," Dr. Pugliese continued. "It was my youngest son's (Gabriel) ninth birthday, and Gabe got a great picture of the pope as he was closest to us during the procession."
Fettig staked out her spot early Saturday morning on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in order to see and hear Pope Francis at the Festival of the Families event later Saturday
evening. She described her time in Philadelphia and seeing the pope as "mind-blowing," as quoted in the Johnson County Daily Journal, her hometown newspaper in Indiana.

Mulowayi and Bartholomew agree that the experience of seeing Pope Francis in Washington, DC, was amazing, and they appreciated his message of humility and caring for others. Father Stephan, Mulowayi, and Bartholomew joined U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis for prayer following the pope's address to Congress.

Rules in Title 30, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 115 for controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds from the degassing of storage tanks, transport vessels, and marine vessels. These rules are part of the State Implementation Plan strategy to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone.
Control requirements reduce VOC emissions from the degassing of storage tanks, transport vessels, and marine vessels.
Apply to degassing during, or in preparation of, the cleaning of any storage tank, transport vessel, or marine vessel containing any VOC with a true vapor pressure greater than 0.5 pounds per square inch absolute under actual storage conditions.
These rules are a contingency measure in the El Paso area, so compliance is not currently required.
The Chapter 115 rule history for degassing of storage tanks, transport vessels, and marine vessels discusses revisions to the rules, including their proposal and adoption, the associated State Implementation Plan revision, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approval.


haha i tried to merge two updates into one the basis of cuteness as opposed to on the basis of my laziness heh.
Jaejoong said he's surprised since he saw Tsuruno Tekeshi (the blond guy). When everyone asks why, JJ says he doesn't understand why Tsuruno is here since he's always on variety shows.


Google is has announced the launch of free WiFi service in five more stations. This goes in continuation of its project to provide high-speed public WiFi service at 100 Railway stations across India by the end of this year.
These stations include Ujjain, Jaipur, Patna, Guwahati and Allahabad railway stations where the Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu will soon formally inaugurate the service.
In a statement, Google said that it has been deploying the service over the extensive fibre network of Indian Railway's arm Railtel which provides Internet services as RailWire. The service by Google was first established in Mumbai Central from where they received great results. It was then expanded to stations in Pune, Bhubaneshwar, Bhopal, Ranchi, Raipur, Vijayawada, Kacheguda (Hyderabad), Ernakulum Jn (Kochi) and Vishakhapatnam. With these launches, the service is now live and available to users at 15 stations across the country.
Backed by the "phenomenal" response to the service in Mumbai Central, Google will also extend the project to cover key suburban Mumbai stations working with RailTel.
Google will deploy the service in Dadar, Bandra Terminus, Churchgate, Thane, Kalyan, Panvel, Vashi, Kurla, Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus, Borivali and a few others, it added.
Gulzar Azad, Google India Head of Access Programs said in a press release, "We're seeing incredible usage of the WiFi service across the stations and over 2.5 lacs users are using the service every week, demonstrating more than 2x growth in less than a month."
Previously, by covering 10 stations, Google provided free internet to 1.5 million people. Google said that the firm is committed to work with Indian Railways and Railtel to deliver high-speed WiFi network that will be available to 10 million Indians by the end of the year, covering 100 of the busiest train stations in India. Eventually, the project will be rolled out to cover 400 train stations across India.
While the service will be free for a reasonable amount of time, the long-term goal is to make this project self-sustainable to allow for expansion to more stations and places, with RailTel and other partners.

By now, most everyone has viewed the "gumball immigration" video by Roy Beck. And, most everyone has seen the presentation by Roy Beck on "immigration by the numbers" video. Both of these videos while done in 2010 remain pertinent since Congress appears to have little interest in curbing illegal alien invasion and legal immigration. But, what does it mean for our country? According toNew York Times best-selling author and conservative columnist Ann Coulter, it means the extinction of the Republican party without one shot being fired.
While some may scoff at Coulter's predictions, it isn't difficult to see where she gets her prediction, particularly, if you have viewed the presentations on immigration by Roy Beck. Moreover, with the rampant voter fraud perpetrated against the people by Democrats and States allowing illegal alien invaders to vote, Coulter's predictions could be spot on.
While Coulter blasted Trump's record on immigration thus far, noting that a border wall still has not been built and the president has yet to sign an executive order ending the country's anchor baby policy, she also took a shot at "idiot Republicans" who have yet to acknowledge the immigration crisis facing the nation.
Anyone paying attention already knows that illegal alien invaders vote Democrat in order to promote the redistribution of wealth from those who provide for themselves to give to those who refuse to work or enter this country to gain access to entitlement programs. This is all by design on the part of Democrats to gain and keep power, essentially ridding the country of the opposition party. Their greed and desire for power all-encompassing power knows no bounds.
You can listen to the interview with Ann Coulter below.
In other words, in 20 years the Democrats will gain about 1.2 million new voters should only 80% block vote Democrat. Depending on where these 1.2 million new voters are located, the possibility of majority Republican voting States to turn into majority Democratic States is fairly high.
Breitbart News further breaks down the immigration issue.
Those 15 million new foreign-born voters include about eight million foreign voters who will arrive in the country through the process known as "chain migration," whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S.
Additionally, congressional districts with large foreign-born populations have become strongholds for Democrats, giving them near electoral dominance. This was most recently evident in the 2018 midterm elections where Orange County, California — a once conservative region of the state — elected all Democrats as the demographics of the county have shifted due to mass immigration.
Congressional districts with the largest foreign-born populations in the country, like New York's 14th District where the foreign population is nearing 50 percent, elected some of the most far-left Democrat candidates, Breitbart News noted.
Immigrants, particularly Hispanics and Asians, have policy preferences when it comes to the size and scope of government that are more closely aligned with progressives than with conservatives. As a result, survey data show a two-to-one party identification with Democrats over Republicans.
By increasing income inequality and adding to the low-income population (e.g. immigrants and their minor children account for one-fourth of those in poverty and one-third of the uninsured) immigration likely makes all voters more supportive of redistributive policies championed by Democrats to support disadvantaged populations.
Democrats like former San Antonio, Texas mayor Julian Castro admit that mass immigration to the U.S. will result in Democrat dominance for generations in swing states.
Every year the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million foreign nationals, with the vast majority deriving from chain migration. In 2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5 million. By 2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S. population.
As someone pointed out in the comments section, it really isn't just the Republican Party that is in danger, it is the united States as a whole. One can also add Georgia to the list containing Texas, Arizona and Florida since Republican Brian Kemp won by a small margin that could easily be reversed with an influx of illegal alien invaders and legal immigrants voting Democrat. Remember, with the growing number of fringe extreme anti-constitutionalists becoming a "dominant minority", Democrats throwing off their cloak that disguised them as supporters of the people, and plenty of RINOs in both chambers of Congress, the possibility exists that the united States will be over-run with non-citizens and illegal alien invaders that will be allowed to vote, which can drastically change the government and culture of this established constitutional republic.
The Republican Party chooses to remain silent in the face of voter fraud perpetrated by Democrats. Because of that silence, the party is contributing to its own demise. For all their begging of votes to thwart Democrats, the Republican candidates cave time and again to Democrat bullying, abandoning their base and sowing discontent within the voter base. This does not promote Republican voters to turn out to continually vote for those who refuse to back conservative, Christian, constitutional principles.
All of this means a move toward more socialist/communist policies that would see massive wealth redistribution, increased injustice through the "justice" system, support of "foreign laws" to be allowed into our "justice" system, increased surveillance and spying on citizens, and criminalization of certain God-given individual unalienable rights. In other words, the united States will transform George Orwell's 1984 from fiction to reality. All of this could occur before many of us have passed on to meet our Lord and Savior.
That brings up another point – the increased marginalization and persecution of Christians. We've already witnessed attacks against Christian businesses by the LGBTQrsuv community. Christian symbols and the practice of Christianity in the public square, particularly prayer, is being further eradicated by those who reject moral values and principles. And, much of the Christian leadership – pastors, ministers, and denominational organizations – have remained silent, bowed their heads to the government 501 (c) (3), and refused to stand in solidarity with targeted Christians, Christian businesses, and God. Moreover, the "church" does not appear to support Christian candidates for office.
Looking at the state of our country, Khrushchev's prediction is close to being fulfilled.

I have both the jars jackson-core-asl-1.8.3 and jackson-core-2.3.1 in the class path. Still I am getting the error. How to resolve the problem?

A: Normally, the class MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter exists in spring-web.jar (or spring-web-x.y.z-RELEASE.jar), you should add it to your classpath, or if using maven add following dependency :
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>x.y.z.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Edit per Artem Bilan comment :
Normally, if you use maven, it should be present as a dependency of spring-integration-http, provided you have this one.

A: I had this weird error, too.  I did a search in my jars in the web server's (tomcat) webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib and the class was there -- and only once.
It went away when I looked at another project at my job and used the same jackson jars.
Originally, I had the following:
jackson-core-2.4.3.jar
jackson-databind-2.4.3.jar

I removed these and added the following (packaged into my WEB-INF/lib):
jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.13.jar
jackson-datatype-jsr310-2.5.0.jar
jackson-datatype-joda-2.5.0.jar
jackson-databind-2.5.0.jar
jackson-core-2.5.0.jar
jackson-annotations-2.5.0.jar

I'm running this on Tomcat 7 on windows; using Java 1.6 (for compiling and runtime in Tomcat)
servlet.xml:
<beans:bean id="jacksonMessageConverter"
    class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter" >
</beans:bean>

    <beans:bean  class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">
        <beans:property name="messageConverters">
            <beans:list>
                <beans:ref bean="jacksonMessageConverter" />
            </beans:list>
        </beans:property>
    </beans:bean>

In case it helps, I run the following shell from cygwin for searching for jats
JAR="C:/java/Java/jdk1.7.0_71/bin/jar.exe"
srchdir="c:/appservers/apache-tomcat-7.0.57/webapps/my-web/WEB-INF/lib"

echo "SEARCH FOLDER: $srchdir"
find  $srchdir -print | grep '\.jar$' | while read f
do
    $JAR tf $f | grep 'MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter\.class' >/dev/null 2>&1
    [ $? -eq 0 ] && echo "==> $f" && $JAR tf $f | grep MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter\.class
done

A: It's interesting what is com.dsths.common.container.ContainerClassLoader...
Looks like spring-integration-http is loaded by this ClassLoader, but MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter and all others spring-web classes with another ClassLoader.
Would be great, if you place all spring jars within the same class loader.
The app is not able to find MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter in the class path. The problem is one class loader is picking one version  and another class loader is picking another version.

A: Basically, it's a jar package problem. You can't find this method in the jar package you imported. You should replace it with another jar package

InnoTrans 2006 set to break more records
INNOTRANS: Held every two years, InnoTrans is firmly established as a vital showcase for the railway supply industry in Europe and beyond. The exhibition continues to grow, and this year's 10th anniversary event at the Berlin trade fair ground from September 19 to 22 is once again the biggest InnoTrans ever.
More than 1500 exhibitors from 39 countries will be travelling to InnoTrans this year, and the halls will have around 92 000m2 of exhibits, up 12 000m2 on the previous InnoTrans event in 2004.
The Messe Berlin site includes 2 km of railway sidings, which will be used to display the complete spectrum of railway vehicles from high speed trains to road-rail maintenance machinery. Railway Technology will be the single largest themed sector of the show, including 20 000m2 of outdoor display site, more than twice that of the previous exhibition in 2004. Inside the exhibition halls there will be a vast array of subassemblies and components from suppliers worldwide.
A dedicated section of the exhibition is being devoted to over 100 suppliers of train Interior products for the first time this year, following requests for manufacturers keen to maximise their synergies.
Public Transport will be the focus for suppliers of passenger information systems, fare collection equipment, station facilities and numerous other products which help make journeys run smoothly. Transport IT will focus on traffic management, communications, data processing and freight logistics, while Services will be a source of information on consultancy, financing, science, research and industry associations.
Another section of the show will highlight the latest products and services for Infrastructure construction, maintenance and modernisation. A new addition to the programme is the Tunnel Construction sector, where products on show will include communications, ventilation, energy supplies and illumination.
Taking place in conjunction with the trade show is the InnoTrans Convention and Dialogue Forum, sponsored by the German Transport Forum, Association of German Transport Undertakings, Unife and the German Rail Industry Association. Deutsche Bahn is organising a European & Asian Rail Summit, offering opportunities for transport ministries and general managers of central European and Asian rail transport companies to meet.

Australia playing catch-up with latest refugee reforms
Kerry Murphy
On Saturday two major reforms commenced regarding refugee processing. The first is the long awaited Complementary Protection provisions. The second is the abandonment of offshore processing and having all protection visa applications assessed in the same process, regardless of how the person arrived in Australia.
Complementary Protection was introduced back in October 2011, but the start date was delayed. It means that a person who makes a protection claim can now rely on one of three separate claims to be successful; a claim based on the refugee criteria; a claim under the Complementary Protection provisions; or a claim as a member of the immediate family (spouse, dependent children) of a person claiming under one or two above.
Complementary Protection is intended to simplify a process whereby previously people had to wait until their review case was decided before seeking the personal intervention of the Minister. This three stage process was cumbersome and the ministerial process was not transparent and had no review options.
Now, a person who has a real risk that they will suffer certain types of harm contrary to the Convention Against Torture (CAT) or the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) will have their case assessed at the first stage of processing rather than waiting until the end.
People will need to prove they are at risk of torture, of being subjected to the death penalty, or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. There are exclusions for those who are a danger to the community or have committed serious crimes.
These changes bring Australian processing of asylum cases into line with similar provisions in the EU, Canada and New Zealand. For the first time, there is a domestic remedy for someone with such a case. Sadly, there are still gaps such as for stateless persons, but hopefully this will be reformed in the future.
The second major reform is the standardisation of processing for all refugee applicants onshore, regardless of how they arrived. This is also a long overdue reform. Now, all unsuccessful asylum seekers will have their case assessed by the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT), rather than by an independent contractor under the IMR (independent merits review ) system.
The IMR system was successfully challenged in the High Court in 2010 in the M61 case. Since then, a significant number of IMR decisions have been overturned in the courts for errors of law such as a failure to provide procedural fairness or to comply with Australian immigration and refugee law.
There will be delays in the review process as the RRT needs to recruit and train more staff to deal with the increased caseload and the implementation of Complementary Protection. The Government was forced into the single processing system because it could not get the flawed Malaysian system amendments passed.
Sadly the Coalition opposes both reforms, and has even recently managed to cause concerns with the Indonesian Government by relying on their simplistic 'stop the boats' chanting rather than seriously trying to address what is a global human rights phenomenon.
Like any major reform, it will be interesting to see how the laws develop over time. In the meantime the changes are welcome for refugees and asylum seekers.

At last we are trying to rejoin the world of justice, ethics and global responsibility. Thanks for your part in that change, Kerry Murphy.
Caroline Storm | 26 March 2012
In a few years time I believe the media and pollies are going to look at the "but they came by boat" and "they paid their own way" nonsense and cringe over their stupidity.
This is an island, coming by boat is done by about 800,000 people per annum and we are dredging harbours and ports to entice more and more.
And everyone pays their own way.
Marilyn Shepherd | 26 March 2012
How the Leader of the Opposition has the hide to call himself a Christian defies the imagination. It is a national scandal that Australia continues to be so far behind the E.U., Canada and New Zealand.
David | 26 March 2012
Kerry, you maintain the voice of honest calm and reason in the face of shameful behaviours. Thank you for your consistently responsible contributions that help us to understand this strange world and galvanise us to change it
Ali Corke | 26 March 2012
Crikey, David! Where on Earth did you manage to dig up the leader of the opposition in this debate? As far as I am aware Tony Abbott has absolutely nothing to do with the current situation. Perhaps you should wait to see what he does when he is in a position to do something about it. You won't have long to wait!
john frawley | 27 March 2012
Yes, these are good news for the people smuggling industry. It will help them to get more money faster. It is certainly good for parts of our economy and for the second hand trade of old derelict fishing vessels in Indonesia.
Beat Odermatt | 28 March 2012
This legislation is long overdue and hopefully will result in a more humane attitude towards refugees and asylum seekers. The last ten or twelve years have been embarassing for Australia because of the inhumane and rascist attitudes of our political leaders such as John Howard, Kim Beasley, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott as well as most the mainstream media.
Mark Doyle | 28 March 2012
At last! At last! Some compassion and common sense in Australia's management of the refugees issue. Kerry has put it so well: it is a global human rights phenomenon. It is high time Australians dropped the racist, insular attitude. Asylum seekers fleeing their countries of birth are desperate, destitute, terrified people arriving at Western countries all the time. We are part of this globalized world, Tony Abbot, and we should and must do our bit. We have plenty of room here. All Australians should welcome these reforms, and extend our hands of friendship. Isn't life about caring and sharing?!

What Australia doesn't want East Timor to know
Pat Walsh
The famine of 1977–79 cut a swathe through East Timor's civilian population. Having failed to subdue the Timorese, the Indonesian military opted to starve them out. Details from that little-understood period are contained in cables that Attorney-General Nicola Roxon has blocked from public access.
Targeting aid workers
Duncan MacLaren
Australian aid worker David Savage was severely injured by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. The Taliban tried to kill him in revenge for the shooting of 17 unarmed Afghan civilians by a deranged American soldier. In more innocent times aid workers were regarded as angels by all sides.

First of all you need to realize that you cannot review all the literature that has been written in the field covered by your research. However you do have to show extensive reading in areas which have been well-researched. The following article would coach you on how to write a literature review for your dissertation.
There are always minor research studies, some of which will be obscure and not well-known – although your supervisor will probably have read them- and if he/she hasn't then your external Marker will have done. This being the case it is better not to include such studies in the literature review, if your sole objective for doing so is to impress the supervisor and Marker with the extensive range of your background reading.
Another problem with including too many small studies is that it will make your supervisor think that you have over-used secondary sources.
If you take this historical approach to your literature review, you will start with the first major work in the area covered by your research. However if your area of research has a very long, time-honoured history then you could instead start with a more recent research study of your choosing and show how subsequent studies have agreed, or modified or perhaps even cast a great deal of doubt on this research study. You will then state where your own research fits in with that already done.
You need to show your supervisor that you understand where your research stands within the historical framework of research into your chosen area. Of course you also have to be up-to-date with the latest developments in your field, so you will give an historical overview if you choose this approach to your literature review section.
If you adapt the "schools of thought" approach to your literature review section, you will have to include works done by academics who have different ideological bases for their research. You will need to discuss, for example, the Marxist approach to the topic, the constructivists' approach, the post-modern approach and so on. You will also have to explain in which ideological "camp" your research fits.
For this approach you should mention the major works which are representative of the different school of thought and do this in sections; one for each school of thought.
Your research topic may be building on previous research, but you may be taking a fresh perspective; for example your research might involve a different culture from the research undertaken in the past. In doing this you may be attempting to test the validity of earlier research to ascertain if the conclusions hold true in a different culture from that studied in those earlier research works. You may be testing the validity of a piece of research which was done some time ago, say in the 1960s and be attempting to prove or disprove its findings within a modern context.
If your research falls into this category, then you need to think very carefully about the works you include in your literature review and match those included as closely as possible with your own research.
Remember that the literature review is not a place to discuss your own research. You do, however need to show where your research comes in the scheme of other research on the same topic.
You should refer back to this literature review in the discussion or findings section of your dissertation. For example you might write "This is consistent with the findings of Carrol L. (2011) as reported in the literature review. Then there is no need for further elucidation.
Whichever approach you take in writing your literature review, stick to it and don't mix up the different approaches. If you have taken notes well during your reading then the literature review section will not pose a problem for you.

Retirement Resilience? - Pension changes brought a whole new range of options to consider
Unadvised retirees who are now able to dip into their pension are having to return to work to cope with juggling their finances, according to a new report[1]. Pension freedoms have given individuals control over how to spend their retirement savings, but a number of unintended consequences have emerged. Since rules governing how pensions can be taken were dramatically relaxed in 2015, more than a million over-55s have gone on a freedom-fuelled spending spree. The pension changes brought a whole new range of options to consider. Individuals now have to think about whether they want an annuity, drawdown, cash or a combination of options; when to access their pension; if it is better to use savings first before drawing their pension; and so on. However, it seems many don't really understand the consequences of these options.
As a result, more than £23 billion has been 'cashed out' from the nation's pension pots via more than five million individual payments. The findings show the increase in retirees returning to the workforce since the introduction of pension freedoms four years ago is due to the number of options available and the lack of professional financial advice.
Facing financial pressure A quarter of retirees who have returned to work since April 2015 say they were faced with financial pressure. Figures from HM Revenue & Customs show around one million over-55s withdrew a 25% tax-free lump sum from their pension in the last year, up 23% points from the 12 months prior. There is a lot to think about when you're planning for retirement, and your circumstances will change over time, which is why it is important to obtain professional financial advice. There's no doubt the pension freedoms have been hugely popular, but for some retirees they have come at a high price. People now face more complicated decisions in retirement, and it's clear not everyone is getting it right. Scale of the problem The figures also show other reasons for returning to work that include reigniting a sense of purpose and boosting social relationships. A report from the Pensions Policy Institute shows women particularly are continuing to struggle with pension savings. The average pension for a woman is currently £100,000 lower than for men. Women's pension savings have historically been impacted by a combination of the gender pay gap, part-time working and the increased burden of childcare costs, but this figure lays bare the scale of the problem. Time to convert your pension pot into retirement income? When you're coming up to retirement, you have lots of decisions to make, not least how to convert your pension pot into retirement income. With more freedom comes more choice, and it's important to obtain professional financial advice to help you decide what to do with your pension pot. To review your options, please contact Garden Wall – we look forward to hearing from you.

Professor recognized for research on internal whistleblowing
San Juan, Puerto Rico — The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and the Management Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association (AAA), have honored Bryan R. Stikeleather, Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business, with the 2017 Greatest Potential Impact on Management Accounting Practice Award.
Stikeleather was recognized for his research on the financial and moral motivators that affect internal whistleblowing. His paper titled, "When do employers benefit from offering workers a financial reward for reporting internal misconduct?" explores whether employees' pay and their moral convictions influence their whistleblowing behavior and whether these two factors moderate the tradeoffs involved for employers to offer financial rewards for internal whistleblowing.
Wim A. Van der Stede, CIMA Professor of Financial Management, Head of Department of Accounting, London School of Economics, presented the award, which includes a $2000 stipend, at the 2017 AAA Management Accounting Section's mid-year meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"Professor Stikeleather's study provides organizations with research on how codes of conduct and employee compensation can influence internal whistleblowing," said Van der Stede. "These insights are crucial to helping management accountants and their organizations put the right controls and incentives in place to drive sustainable success in today's complex business climate."
The award was sponsored by the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation, which was created in 2012 by the AICPA and CIMA to help people and businesses succeed by producing and recognizing competent and confident management accounting professionals able to steer business and lead their organizations to make better decisions.
The Greatest Potential Impact on Management Accounting Practice Award recognizes academic research considered to most likely have a significant impact on management accounting. Eligible papers must have been published within the previous five years and submitted by the authors, or nominated by peers.
