Henriette d'Angeville (10. března 1794 Semur-en-Brionnais – 13. ledna 1871 Lausanne) byla francouzská průkopnice horolezectví, v pořadí druhá žena v historii, které se podařilo vystoupit na vrchol Mont Blancu.

Stručný životopis
Henriette d'Angeville pocházela z francouzské šlechtické rodiny. V letech Velké francouzské revoluce byl její otec uvězněn a její děd byl popraven. Rodina se odstěhovala do oblasti Bugey východně od Lyonu v regionu Rhône-Alpes. Po smrti otce v roce 1827 se Henriette usadila v Ženevě.

Po slavném výstupu na Mont Blanc Henriette pokračovala v horolezeckých aktivitách a během následujících 25 let zdolala další dvě desítky horských vrcholů. Svou horolezeckou kariéru zakončila ve věku 65 let výstupem na Oldenhorn v masívu Diablerets v Bernských Alpách. V posledních letech života se Henriette d'Angeville zajímala o speleologii a také o vytváření mineralogických sbírek ve švýcarském městě Lausanne, kde v lednu roku 1871 zemřela.

Výstup na Mont Blanc
V roce 1838 se Henriette d'Angeville rozhodla uskutečnit svůj sen – třicet let poté, co jej zdolala Maria Paradisová, vystoupit na vrchol Mont Blancu. V té době se sice již rozvíjel turismus, ale horolezecké výstupy na vrcholky hor nebyly příliš časté ani v případě mužů.

V Chamonix Henriettu přivítaly nadšené davy. V doprovodu šesti průvodců v čele s Josephem-Marie Couttetem a šesti nosičů vyrazila Henriette d'Angeville dne 4. září 1838 ve 2 hodiny ráno vzhůru na Mont Blanc a ve 13.15 výprava dosáhla vrcholu. Na počest Henriettina návratu do Chamonix zazněly výstřely z děla a druhý den se zde konala oslava, které se zúčastnila i již šedesátiletá místní občanka Maria Paradisová.

V dalších letech bylo připomínáno, že Henriette byla vlastně první ženou, která zdolala Mont Blanc vlastními silami, protože bylo známo, že Marii Paradisové vydatně pomohli nahoru její průvodci. Na památku tohoto historického sportovního výkonu byla v obci Hauteville-Lompnès v kraji Bugey, kde se nachází hrad rodu d'Angeville, po Henriettě d'Angeville pojmenována jedna z místních ulic. Horolezecké výkony Henriette d'Angeville otevřely také velmi důležitou (a v 19. století dosud tabuizovanou) otázku používání vhodného sportovního oblečení ženami-sportovkyněmi.

Since the anticipated ice didn't happen today, my Sunday happily turned out to be a little more active than I'd anticipated. Got to go to church, went to lunch with my son, and headed out for a run.
…and more cute kids' art.
My run brought lots of ice bits falling onto my head from various trees and power lines. But check out the complete ice leaf that fell to the ground intact from a tulip tree.
Sunday runs are awesome because I love the smell of fresh laundry wafting from houses' ventilation. Somehow this scent makes me feel a little cozier in the cold. Although, I must offer a piece of unsolicited advice from a less-than-average runner: that little sliver of ankle that is exposed between the bottom of your leggings and the top of your ankle socks seems A LOT bigger when the temperatures are in the lower 30s. Note to self.

What is Chatham Voices for Justice?
Chatham Voices for Justice (CVJ) is a grassroots, progressive organization of volunteers in Chatham County, North Carolina that works to promote equal rights and equal participation in our democracy for all county residents. Our organization grew out of the Jumpstart the Vote initiative of Democracy NC and began with a small group of Chatham County members of Carolina Jews for Justice.
CVJ is not a membership organization, but rather, a network of individuals of a variety of religious and ethnic backgrounds who are interested in volunteer opportunities that promote equal participation and justice. The coordinators work to disseminate information about these opportunities and to organize events that promote our goals.
In the past few years, we have organized voter registration events in Pittsboro and Siler City, monitored the meetings of our county Board of Elections, provided exit support for voters leaving the polls, participated in numerous "Moral Monday" demonstrations and in the annual HKonJ (Historic Thousands on Jones Street) demonstration in Raleigh, and traveled to Winston-Salem to lend our support to those protesting against the restrictive new voting law in our state. We have also disseminated information about other progressive organizations that might be of interest to our network, such as initiatives to establish a living wage and to reduce gun violence.
In order to be efficient and not "reinvent the wheel," we try to coordinate with other like-minded organizations in the area, including Democracy NC, the League of Women Voters, You Can Vote, the NAACP, Neighbors On Call (NoC), Indivisible, and Carolina Jews for Justice. Links to these organizations are provided on the Other Organizations page.
Our Events page lists our upcoming 2018 and prior 2017 events.
You can volunteer to help with or participate in our events. If you would like to be on our mailing list, please sign up on the Join Us page. We promise not to clutter your inbox; our emails are only occasional. We will not share your information with anyone without your permission.

Author and lecturer Yukari Kane has become San Quentin's new Journalism Guild instructor. She was sitting at her desk inside the San Francisco Grotto, an office space leased by about 150 professional writers, poets and novelist, when she received an email that invited her to teach at the prison.
Kane has settled in for the last several months as the Guild's instructor, replacing longtime instructor John C. Eagan. She is training the next generation of writers for the San Quentin News, and she has learned a lot about working with prisoners as journalists.
"Society does fear ex-cons and those in prison," Kane said. "But writing can help them transcend that. That's what makes journalism so important here; the stakes are much higher. It's much more meaningful for the guys.
"It's their way to make a difference," Kane added.
Kane has been a correspondent in Tokyo. She started her career at Reuters and U.S. News and ˆShe currently teaches at the University of California at Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
Her book, Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs, was published in 2014. She wrote for The Wall Street Journal, covering Apple during the last years of Jobs' time in power. She broke many stories, including the news about the Apple chief's liver transplant.
Journalism Guild writers are receiving some of the same training in writing and reporting as the students she teaches at U.C. Berkeley.
Kane is helping inmates deliver professional stories from behind prison walls. Guild writers, along with San Quentin News staff, cover issues of criminal justice and rehabilitation, in addition to the goings-on inside the prison itself. Kane teaches lede writing, attribution and the use of quotes and interviewing techniques. She gives the writers real-life training by sending them out into the prison to find stories.
One concept Kane teaches is that writing is a way to reinvent who you are.

SL, China to draw up 'new blueprint' for future cooperation
Tuesday, 3 December 2019 02:33 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa meeting Chinese special envoy Wu Jianghao yesterday
Special envoy meets with President, PM, FM, Speaker
Focus on taking forward large projects including Colombo Port City and H'tota Port
Highlights existing consensus as basis to draw up new blueprint for future cooperation
Strengthen existing robust political trust between both countries
President invited to visit China
China and Sri Lanka yesterday agreed to speed up the implementation of large-scale projects and draw up a "new blueprint" for future cooperation following high-level meetings between President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Chinese special envoy Wu Jianghao.
The large-scale projects will also focus on the Colombo Port City project and the Hambantota Port venture.
A Chinese delegation headed by former Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Wu Jianghao, as the representative of State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and other embassy officials called on President Rajapaksa. He also met with Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday as well as Speaker Karu Jayasuriya, United National Party (UNP) Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe and Foreign Minister Dinesh Gunawardena.
Following the meeting with President Rajapaksa, the Chinese embassy in a statement said that both parties agreed to further strengthen the "robust political trust between" both countries.
Sri Lanka and China agreed to enhance their practical cooperation and "speed up the implementation of the big economic projects, including the Colombo Port City and the Hambantota Port according to existing consensus and, on that basis, draw up the new blueprint for future cooperation" the communique said.
Hot on the heels of President Rajapaksa's win, China had extended an invitation to visit Beijing. Chinese Ambassador Cheng Xueyuan extended the invitation for him to visit China at "a mutually convenient and mature time" a spokesman for the embassy said.
The visit comes days after President Rajapaksa told an Indian journalist in an interview that he would renegotiate the Hambantota Port lease agreement, terming it a "mistake" and calling on the Chinese company to be open to the move.
In the interview, President Rajapaksa claimed that even though China was a good friend, he was not afraid to say the joint venture inked by the former Government was a mistake, pointing out that public sentiment was against the deal. President Rajapaksa opined that handing over control of a valuable asset of economic importance such as a port should not be done.
Sri Lanka and China signed a $ 1.1 billion deal in 2017 which paved the way for a Chinese firm to lease the port for 99 years for commercial activity. The deal was signed between the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) and China Merchants Port Holdings. Under the deal, the Chinese firm holds a 70% stake in a joint venture with SLPA to run the port for 99 years for commercial purposes. The Chinese firm invested an additional $ 600 million to make the port operational.


The Girl Scout Cookies variety is bona fide high-quality marijuana. It is without a doubt the best Californian strain of all time. Currently Girl Scout Cookies has a large number of fans throughout the United States West Coast, and is going strong in Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia. FastBuds have managed to recreate an auto flower that does the original GSC justice.

### 5.5 Indirect

Feature At Risk

The LDP Working Group proposes the REMOVAL of indirect containers, unless more
implementation reports arrive shortly.

The following section contains normative clauses for Linked Data Platform
Indirect Container.

#### 5.5.1 General

##### 5.5.1.1 Each LDP Indirect Container _MUST_ also be a conforming LDP
Direct Container as described in section 5.4 Direct, along with the following
restrictions. LDP clients _MAY_ infer the following triple: one whose subject
is LDP Indirect Container, whose predicate is `rdf:type`, and whose object is
`ldp:Container`, but there is no requirement to materialize this triple in the
LDP-IC representation.

##### 5.5.1.2  LDP Indirect Containers _MUST_ contain exactly one triple whose
subject is the LDPC URI, whose predicate is `ldp:insertedContentRelation`, and
whose object ICR describes how the member-derived-URI in the container's
membership triples is chosen. The member-derived-URI is taken from some triple
( S, P, O ) in the document supplied by the client as input to the create
request; if ICR's value is P, then the member-derived-URI is O. LDP does not
define the behavior when more than one triple containing the predicate P is
present in the client's input. For example, if the client POSTs RDF content to
a container that causes the container to create a new LDP-RS, and that content
contains the triple ( <> , foaf:primaryTopic , bob#me ) `foaf:primaryTopic`
says that the member-derived-URI is bob#me. One consequence of this definition
is that indirect container member creation is only well-defined by LDP when
the document supplied by the client as input to the create request has an RDF
media type.

#### 5.5.2 HTTP POST

##### 5.5.2.1 LDPCs whose `ldp:insertedContentRelation` triple has an object
**other than** `ldp:MemberSubject` and that create new resources _MUST_ add a
triple to the container whose subject is the container's URI, whose predicate
is `ldp:contains`, and whose object is the newly created resource's URI (which
will be different from the member-derived URI in this case). This
`ldp:contains` triple can be the only link from the container to the newly
created resource in certain cases.

Welhaven building purchase opens door for downtown development
Dar Holdings MN LLC of Plano, Texas, has purchased the 2,596-square-foot brick Welhaven Music Co. building tucked between the Center Street city parking ramp and the Masjed Abubakr Al-Seddiq mosque on Monday from John and Jim Welhaven.
The building that was the home to Welhaven Music on North Broadway has been sold. March 3, 2021. (Ken Klotzbach / kklotzbach@postbulletin.com)
The long-empty former Welhaven Music building sold for $750,000 this week, opening the possibility for more downtown Rochester development.
Dar Holdings MN LLC of Plano, Texas, purchased the 2,596-square-foot brick building tucked between the Center Street city parking ramp and the Masjed Abubakr Al-Seddiq mosque on Monday from John and Jim Welhaven.
The music shop, which had operated in various downtown locations since 1954, moved out in spring 2019. The move was part of a merger with Music Mart, which has a Rochester location at 3552 West River Parkway NW.
Olmsted County estimated the total market value of the 106-year-old building at $415,600 for 2020-2021.
The deal is the culmination of an agreement dating back years that was planned as a first step toward a new Rochester mosque downtown. The plan, first proposed in 2005, was later shelved.
Purchase of the Welhaven building does not signal that the mosque plan is moving forward, Mosque Chair Rashed Ferdous emphatically stressed this week.
"We have all options on the table. We may or we may not, and that's all we can say right now," he said on Wednesday. "We are unable to confirm one way or another right now."
That original plan called for building a mosque with more traditional architecture, paid for by an anonymous donor from Saudi Arabia. The mosque at 17 N. Broadway, where local Muslims have worshiped since 1997, was expected to be demolished.
Dar Holdings is linked to Texas designer and developer Osman Hussain, who owns a firm called Building Element. The Building Element web page has an old drawing of a 24,000-square-foot mosque project.
"... The project on our site was a concept outside of Rochester that unfortunately didn't work out. We need to update our website," wrote Hussain.
The whole project has been on the backburner for years, and no decision has been made to move forward. However, purchase of the Welhaven building was one piece of that original proposal.
"That plan is up in the air right now. I have no idea right now, which way it will go," Ferdous said.

Q: laravel 5 route not working? I have this link in my update file:
<a href="{{ url("detach/$team->id/group/$user->id") }}">
  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger btn-xs">Detach from this group</button>
</a>

And this is the route:
Route::resource('groups', 'TeamsController');
Route::get('detach/{user_id}/group/{team_id}', 'TeamsController@detach_user')->name("groups.detach_user");

When i click on the button it should go to the detach_user but instead it goes to the update function, and this how the url look like.
localhost/group/1

I don't know what i'm doing wrong?

A: Is the HTML code you've provided placed within the form tag? If that's the case, you might fire the form submit rather than a link click. That would explain your case.
So, if that's the case, just place the link code outside the form tag.

A: Change the declaration order from this:
Route::resource('groups', 'TeamsController');
Route::get('detach/{user_id}/group/{team_id}', 'TeamsController@detach_user')->name("groups.detach_user");

To:
Route::get('detach/{user_id}/group/{team_id}', 'TeamsController@detach_user')->name("groups.detach_user");
Route::resource('groups', 'TeamsController');

According to the documentation, it could be a problem. Check the documentation:

Supplementing Resource Controllers
If it becomes necessary to add additional routes to a resource
  controller beyond the default resource routes, you should define those
  routes before your call to Route::resource; otherwise, the routes
  defined by the resource method may unintentionally take precedence
  over your supplemental routes

October 10, 2018 by lace 21 Comments
Based on the critically acclaimed, record-breaking play, GHOST STORIES follows Professor Philip Goodman (Andy Nyman), a renowned sceptic of all things supernatural. His idol, psychologist Charles Cameron, who had mysteriously disappeared, reveals to Goodman that he has been in hiding since realising his own arrogance in trying to rationalise the spirit world. Accusing Goodman of the same disrespect he gives him three case histories to solve: a night watchman hunted on the job; a troubled man confronted whilst broken down in a forest; and a city trader (Martin Freeman) disturbed by strange goings on as he awaits the birth of his first child.
Each baffling, horrifying case supports the existence of unseen forces, taking a toll on Goodman and everything he has ever believed.

I love scary Halloween movies.
Debbie Dye says
Mine has to be the legend of Bloody Mary, you know, say her name 3 times in the mirror & she'll appear. Even though my best friend and I were forced to sleep in the teachers cabin on year 6 school camp after talking about doing 'Bloody Mary' at night & scaring the bejesus out of our cabin mates!
Raechel Johns says
It was Christmas Day, and we were having lunch at an old mansion. I went from the dining room to the bathroom, and saw an old lady walking out, but it was apparent to me that she was a ghost. I went to the bathroom, and on the way out, I saw the same old lady standing with a little girl. My sister was with me, and did not see them.
Belinda B says
I lived in a haunted rental for 3 years! my kids were seeing things, I was having nightmares and I captured unexplained lights (orbs) on camera and video! I was touched multiple times and my cat wouldn't go near a particular bedroom! None of us would use the bath either, we all got the heebeegeebes when we went near it and when we left, we found out that someone had died in it! I could write a book about this place with all the experiences we had but you get the idea…..
Cathy Bowdler says
Ghost story down at Camden NSW, A house called Camelot, the same house that was in A Country Practice was supposedly haunted. We lived over the road on a dairy farm, every weekend car loads of teenagers would drive out to see the local ghost. There were even stories about ghost horses galloping up the road.
I quite like this one, I think it's a bit creepy but also kind of clever:
I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, "Daddy, check for monsters under my bed." I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, "Daddy, there's somebody on my bed."
Luisa says
My fave ghost story is the Conjuring. I've seen it five times and it scares me just as much every time
Sophie Byron says
My scariest Ghost story is when I was in Tasmania last year visiting the no longer operating Asylum. After walking back to where we had parked the car in the carpark of the local supermarket as I was walking back to the car I was shoved from behind and feel over ! When I turned around I sore a white flash but there was no one there………..

Jocelyn R says
My favourite ghost story is 'Casper'. I've always loved Casper from the time I was a little girl. I'd like to think that if ghosts are real, they are here to help us and not hurt us!
My parents and I stayed at my grandparents house. Mum & Dad heard soft whispering sounds in their bedroom, the sound of footsteps was heard in the hallway when there was no one there. The only time I have ever been sleep walking was in this house. We never believed in ghosts until we stayed here.
Laura S says
My husband lived in an old jail and one night the fire lit itself!
Maybe it's the love story or maybe it's just because he's a "friendly ghost" but who doesn't have a soft spot for Casper?!
It's one; ahem, horror film I can sleep peacefully after seeing!
Michelle Ward says
I like ghost stories with a little humour. For me it's Ghostbusters!
Suzanne Norris says
My favourite is the story told to me by my mother. She says when she visited her father in England, she saw an old woman with long white hair in her bedroom. This woman seemed very sad. She was told the next day that her father and one of her sisters could see this woman but the other members of her family couldn't. There was a story attached to the house about an old woman dying of grief after the death of her husband and the woman seen by my mother, grandfather and aunt matched the description given of that woman.
My favourite ghost story (movie) is Carrie because it was my first horror movie when I was a kid.
Becky Downey says
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill, Made for TV, it's as chilling as it gets and as a kid I stayed up to watch it and literally had to stop myself waking the house up screaming when the hag was hovering over the man's bed screaming also!
adrienne Harries says
It would have to be Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore
A love story with humour, good music and sadness and so much more
I love all ghost stories. Anything that has me sitting on the edge of the seat or hiding under the blankets.


Winter weather is not easy to predict, veering from deep freezes to deep snow, or maybe rain and warmer temperatures.
February fun, regardless the weather, is thankfully much easier to predict, as this is a great time to fit in some Michigan fun.
Here are five ways to enjoy the heart of winter in Northern Michigan.
Visit the Eben ice caves. Located in Alger County's River Wilderness, part of the Hiawatha National Forest, the caves are some of Mother Nature's most impressive winter handiwork. While not a formally organized event or destination, the place typically hums with activity once the ice is set and when you find the area, outside Marquette along the Pictured Rocks lakeshore, you will meet others visiting for the same purpose. Bring along ice cleats of some sort, and ski poles, because while the initial hike in is relatively flat, the area immediately surrounding the caves is likely to be icy and more challenging to navigate.

Virtual Assistant wins UK award
by Luke Dicicco (Cumberland News/ News & Star)
Gwen Backhouse, 40, has all the skills of a boss's traditional right-hand woman, but she works 'virtually' for businesses from her office in Brampton Town Centre.
Gwen receiving her Outstanding VA UK 2018 award from John Palmer
Mother of two, Gwen is celebrating after beating off stiff competition to win the accolade of UK Outstanding VA 2018 at the Office Show and UK Virtual Assistant Conference at Kensington Olympia in London.
She said "virtual assistants do all the work of a personal assistant or secretary, but they work from their own premesis."
Gwen founded Curlew Secretarial Solutions just over four years ago from her home, offering PA and administrative services to companies around the UK. The business grew until Gwen, who is married to Adrian and has two daughters Bethany and Chloe, took on office premesis in Brampton town centre where she now works with a team of associates.
She said "I am overwhelmed and so pleased to have won UK Outstanding VA UK 2018. I absolutely love my work and can't wait to see where this takes me. I am so grateful to my husband and girls for supporting me every step of the way, enabling me to grow my business and get to where I am today."
Gwen is the first virtual assistant in 11 years of awards to go from winning Best Newcomer to the Outstanding VA UK accolade within three years.
She took the Best Newcomer award in 2015, following it up with VA of the Year England and VA of the Year North West in 2016.

Gwen's experience and determination has paid off, and she has seen the business grow rapidly in the last year with clients from Cumbria, Yorkshire, London and as far afield as The Netherlands and the USA. Offering services such as email management, transcription, data input, CRM management and event coordination, to name but a few, she is looking to expand the business in the next year.
Gwen was judged on achieving excellence in her field and on her entrepreneurialism, management skills, promotional skills and Continuous Professional Development. The winner will be announced on Friday 20th November 2015 in Windsor at the National Virtual Assistant Conference.
Commenting on her success, Gwen said, "I was over the moon to discover that I had been selected as a finalist. I am truly passionate about my work, and my clients can see that. I am one of only three or four Virtual Assistants in Cumbria whereas there are hundreds around the UK. I feel honoured to be representing Cumbria in this way."

We are over the moon to find out that we have been shortlisted for the National VA Awards in the category of Best Newcomer VA 2015. It has been an incredible few years and Curlew Secretarial Solutions has been growing from strength to strength. A big thank you to Be My VA for this shortlisting. We are looking forward to attending the awards at Office 2015 this year. Good luck to all who have been shortlisted.
Cumberland News Profile
A couple of weeks ago I was asked to answer some questions for the Cumberland News so they could do a profile on a Virtual Assistant, here is the resulting article. Printed last Saturday.
Are people moving away from the large, corporate image?
Times are changing in the business world. Consumers are looking for a less corporate image and a more customer friendly approach. This change is leaving corporate giants such as Tesco out in the cold. This is an interesting read!
Tesco turns stale as competitors freshen up ideas
By Richard Anderson, Business reporter, BBC News
23 September 2014 Last updated at 08:15
The troubles just keep on mounting for Tesco.
Stagnant sales, falling profits, boardroom turmoil and now a £250 million hole in its profits forecast.
No wonder shoppers and investors alike are questioning what was, until recently, the undisputed king of UK retailing, revered as much for its gargantuan sales as its continual innovation.
So where did it all go wrong? Read More…..

Former Ohio Sheriff's Deputy Charged with Murder for Killing Black Man Carrying Sandwiches
All Casey Goodson Jr. was doing was carrying a bag containing sandwiches from Subway into his grandmother's house last December 4. The Columbus man, 23, was shot six times by Franklin County Sheriff's deputy Jason Meade in an incident unrecorded by body camera or dashboard footage. He died at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital a short time later.
Nearly a year later, Meade, 44, was indicted on two counts of murder and one count of reckless homicide. If convicted, he faces 15 years to life in prison. Meade, a 17-year veteran, retired from the sheriff's office over the summer due to a physical disability. He was placed on leave after the shooting.
According to Meade's attorney, the trial date could come as soon as three months from now or as long as two years.
Goodson's death was followed by massive protests demanding Justice for Casey. Protestors held up Subway bags to make their point.
The Dentist, the Sub Shop, and Death
Goodson had lost his job as a truck driver during the pandemic. The oldest of 10 children, he was living with his mother and grandmother. He took a job in retail to help support the family. He had no criminal record.
On that day, he visited the dentist, picked up sandwiches at Subway, and was unlocking the door to his grandmother's house when Meade shot him. The shooting took place at 12:15 p.m.
According to the county coroner, Goodson was shot five times in the back and once in the buttocks.
Searching for a Fugitive
Meade was searching for a fugitive in the area as part of his work for the U.S. Marshals Service task force. He claimed that Goodson, who was not the subject of the search, drove by him in his car and waved a handgun at him. As Goodson exited the vehicle, Meade told him to drop the gun. Meade claimed he shot Goodson after he refused to drop the gun.
A gun was recovered from the scene, but law enforcement provided no further details. Goodson's family said he had a license to carry a gun. However, they note he had sandwiches in his hand, not a gun, when Meade opened fire.
While U.S. Marshal Peter Tobin initially defended Meade, saying Goodson was waving a gun at him at the time of the shooting, he later withdrew his comments stating they were based on "insufficient information." He added that Meade was not "performing a mission" for the U.S. Marshals when Goodson was shot.
Civil Rights Lawsuit Filed
The family has filed a civil rights lawsuit against Meade and the sheriff's office. According to the lawsuit, Meade took hundreds of hours of firearms and SWAT training, but had little training in violence de-escalation techniques.
According to the lawsuit, for nearly four years, Meade was placed on "no inmate contact status." It does not provide information about why he received that status, but mentions his "subpar" performance as a deputy.

"But I can't", I explained. "GSQ's blog has only just really begun and I should continue with posts that focus on the Society's collection of family tree charts". "But you should", I was told and eventually I was convinced. Let me set the scene.
GSQ is open on Wednesdays between 6 and 9pm twice each month and recently, with night falling outside the East Brisbane Resource Centre, a small group of dedicated family historians gathered to progress their research. We talked about our research, how to overcome our brickwalls and then about the Geneapalooza blog. http://geneapalooza.blogspot.com.au/ Wonderful cartoon strips, well drawn, that touch on key issues facing genealogists today, in a light, humorous way. Well this started us giggling a little. OK, a lot! Then the conversation took a seemingly innocuous turn. Had any of us read, we were asked, "The Zen of Genealogy The Lighter Side of Genealogy" by Beth Maltbie Uyehara? "Oh, you must!" we were told when we confessed our genealogical sin of omission.
Now GSQ has an onsite bookshop and in the bookshop just happened to be a copy of this very book. At this point it is fair to say that all thoughts of progressing our research were forgotten. "Read the chapter with the Ten Commandments of Genealogy", I was urged and so, with great flair and aplomb and much waving of my hands, I did. Now, the whole book at 125 pages can be read in one sitting, but the chapters are topical and short enough you can dip into them at leisure, based on your choice of subject. Well, dip in we did!
The 'Ten Commandments', outlined in chapter 16, are genealogical truths that family historians surely have heard and incorporated into their research methodology. As I started to render my quite vocal and physically demonstrative interpretation of commandment number one, 'Thou shalt start with thyself and work backwards', we all found ourselves relating to, and laughing about, the scrapes into which the author got herself. At this point I admitted to the assembled 'throng' that I just couldn't read this book on the bus going to work. Shaking shoulders, titters and giggles out loud, do not happy fellow passengers make! Another member advised that the book really shouldn't be read while in bed lying next to a sleeping partner! By the time I had discovered chapter 9, "Cousins by the Dozen", and learned about the formulae for calculating degrees of kinship and that a First Degree Cousin is one that holds a black belt, there were chortles and chuckles, howls and thigh slapping fits of laughter. I felt sorry, just for a moment, for the neighbours just outside the Resource Centre's front door, trying to lead their after work lives, while being subject to the guffaws echoing from within our genealogical walls.
I found all this so incredibly funny that I shared it with my mother after I went home. I read the whole "Cousins" chapter with as much dramatic effect as I had to my fellow family historians just a short time before. Mum's face remained without expression, her only response when I finished, "Was that supposed to be funny?" Sigh! I found myself relating so very much to Beth's lamentations concerning her non-genie husband. While they may be supportive, they'll never quite understand the passion that drives us, nor the desire to convert a bedroom, garage or study into a purpose built genealogical haven or using precious holiday time to trawl through cemeteries, libraries or archives.
Also covering topics such as tips for actually fascinating your friends and relatives when regaling them with your family history finds, awarding gold medals for various categories in the Genealogical Olympics and how to seek support for the condition known as geneaholicism, this book is full of laughs from start to finish. I won't soon forget, though, the author's impassioned plea in the final chapter for family historians to be the sorts of ancestors we wish ours had been. Well supported by Lois Jesek's delightfully whimsical illustrations, the language is easy to read, witty and pithy. Beth takes genealogy seriously, but gently uncovers and sees the humour in genealogists, intriguing and funny lot that we are. What makes this book such an enjoyable read, and different from other family history tomes, is her light, easy treatment of the subject. If your genealogical funny bone needs a tickle, read "The Zen of Genealogy". I trust you will enjoy it as much as we did.
What a giggle we had that night. Certainly enjoyed your reading aloud of the Cousins by the dozens.

Here is a flyer for my exhibition. It took me at least 3 times as long to make the flyer/invitation as it does to make one of the exhibits. However that included getting help with photoshop (thankyou Moses) and dealing with Adobe via livechat to try and register Creative suite when mine came with no 'coupon code'. Then I lost the final copy when I lost a memory stick (it may have gone up the vaccum cleaner but I did look there :-) and now I have a temperature and just want to go to sleep.
I was going to put the poster of all the other students shows next but it must be too small a file and came out all pixelated. There are two shows currently on in Wellington.
Keri-Mae Zagrobelna has a show at Thistle Hall in Cuba st.
Now I just need to shake off a lurking cold and make one and a half more wallhangings for my exhibition. Luckily the 2 week break starts tomorrow.

Why NASCAR Has Yet to Penalize William Byron for Intentionally Hitting Denny Hamlin at Texas
Officials investigating what happened leading up to the incident at Texas Motor Speedway.
By Al Pearce
As usual in these cases, both Chevrolet-driving Byron for Hendrick Motorsports and Toyota-driving Hamlin for Joe Gibbs Racing thought they were right.
The disagreement began early in the race, when Hamlin reportedly forced Byron against the wall in Turn 2.
The incident wasn't considered a big deal at the time; hardly noticeable, in fact.
NASCAR hasn't publicly announced any penalties against William Byron in light of his intentional contact against Danny Hamlin on Sunday night at Texas Motor Speedway. The Championship Playoff contenders knocked around each other a bit during the AutoTrader 500, the first race in the Round of 12 for the Cup Series title.
As usual in these cases, both Chevrolet-driving Byron for Hendrick Motorsports and Toyota-driving Hamlin for Joe Gibbs Racing thought they were right. The disagreement began early in the race, when Hamlin reportedly forced Byron against the wall in Turn 2. The incident wasn't considered a big deal at the time; hardly noticeable, in fact.
Much later, at lap 269, leader Martin Truex Jr. blew a tire and spun through Turns 3-4. When second-running Hamlin slowed for the caution lights, third-running Byron plowed into him as payback for the earlier incident. Hamlin spun harmlessly across the trioval grass and NASCAR did not give him his original spot or penalize Byron for rough driving.
Tonight on #MotorMouths on @Peacock, we'll be talking about the Denny Hamlin/William Byron incident.
Call in at 6P ET: 1-844-627-2276 pic.twitter.com/AEv5Il4qzw
— NASCAR on NBC (@NASCARonNBC) September 26, 2022
Scott Miller, the NASCAR vice-president of competition, admitted he and his staff in the race control tower missed the incident. "We were paying more attention to the actual cause of the caution and dispatching our equipment," he said after the race. "We had no eyes on the William Byron-Denny Hamlin thing. We (just) saw Denny go through the grass.
"By the time we got a replay that showed the incident well enough to do anything to it, we had gone back to green. I'm not sure the issue is completely resolved as of yet. We'll be looking at that when we get back to work."
Miller offered several things officials could have done if they'd seen Byron hit Hamlin. "If we had seen that good enough to react in real time, which we should have, like no excuse there, there would probably have been two courses of action," Miller explained. "One would have been to put Hamlin back where he was (running second) or made William (third at the time) restart in the back."
Truex Jr. Livid After NASCAR Texas Tire Failures
Reddick's Playoff Win Shakes Up NASCAR Standings
Byron told reporters he was fortunate to finish as well as he did. "Denny ran me out of room and bent the toe link, so we're lucky we finished," he said after surviving to finish seventh, well behind winner Tyler Reddick. "It was really hard contact … not like a light contact or something like that. And again, look, I thought we were going to be done."
With the evidence too obvious to ignore, Byron admitted to intentionally hitting Hamlin. The situation is muddled somewhat by the lack of evidence that Hamlin pushed Byron into the wall earlier in the race.
"I don't know what it was all about," Byron said of the earlier incident with Hamlin. "The 19 (Truex Jr.) took away (Hamlin's) air and Hamlin ran out of race track. So, he chose to run me out of race track completely (pushing Byron toward the Turn 2 wall).
"I didn't mean to spin him out, but I'm mad and not going to get raced like that. We have always raced so well together. Obviously, when he was spinning out I was like, 'I didn't mean to do this,' but I was definitely frustrated."
Moments later, he changed his story: "I don't know if I spun him intentionally," he said. Then, a moment later: "I mean, obviously, yeah. I went to show my displeasure (but) didn't mean to spin him out. There are a ton of guys that do this; you see it all the time. But yeah, I'm not going to get run like that; there's really no reason. It was uncalled for and I feel like we've handled it."
On Hamlin's part:
"I guess we can just wreck each other under caution (so) I tried to wreck him back," he said after finishing 10th. "I don't think we touched; I've got to look. You know, I keep hearing these guys. I'll add it to the list of guys when I get a chance. They're going to get it." (Hamlin had a highly publicized incident with Ross Chastain in the spring at St. Louis. He vowed on the spot that when he least expects it, Chastain will suffer payback for St. Louis).
"It all works itself out," Hamlin said. "We'll be racing each other at some point and (Byron) will lose a lot of spots because he's racing me. This is hard racing, obviously, and I'm fine with hard racing. But wrecking me under caution is obviously not what we were bargaining for."

Lola fled again to the home of another brave family, where she spent nine months buried in a dark hole beneath the family barn. Lola has lost everything - her home and her family. During his 4+ years at Negev Direct he has gained invaluable experience in Jewish direct mail, email and web 2. The cello, sadly, is lost. I wish the author had written more of her feelings and more description, but it is a book worth reading nonetheless.
Mary's where he became a lecturer and continued researching bacteriology. However, the story part was touching and sad. She survived nine months deep in the earth with unbearable conditions. At first, Lola secretly lives in the home of a Ukrainian woman. Despite her horrible circumstances; hiding in a dirt hole and loosing all her loved ones, she lived to see another year. The author has used incredible details to transport the reader to the hiding places where they spent time avoiding the Nazis.
Kaufman traveled around the country, accompanying the exhibit and speaking to audiences about her experience. This is a short Scholastic book with not a lot of detail, but a powerful message. Cramped quarters Little food Lice!!. Lola's grandmother arranged for her to be concealed by a Ukrainian family, and she spent seven months hiding in a barn, her only possession a beautiful dress her mother had embroidered for her. After her parents were killed by the Nazi's, her grandmother arranges to smuggle Lola out of the ghetto and into the home of a woman named Anna who hides her. Link opinion and reasons using words, phrases, and clauses e. At least, though, she survived.
Lola is then taken care of by her Grandmother, Ekke Aschkerase. Not once, throughout the whole experience, did she take it off. He worked to promote the use of antiseptics only on minor scrapes and cuts. Lola Rein was a hidden child during the holocaust. Poet Frances Brent has written an uncommon, episodic biography of Lev Aronson, a Holocaust survivor who is a world-class cellist and teacher. Lola's grandmother entrusted her to a Ukrainian woman who hid her from the Nazi.
Her parents both die, so her grandmother send her to a Ukrainian woman, who hides her. The dress is now on display at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He theorized that something else was needed to help fight bad bacteria, while preserving the good bacteria, namely lysozyme. All she took with her was a dress that her mom had handmade for her. Lola endured, los, abandonment, and constant fear, but has now chosen to shed her cloak of silence. But life was hardly a fairy tale when the Nazis occupied the town in 1939. Struggling against cold and hunger, the hidden family lives under the constant threat of discovery.
Childhood Lola was born October 4, 1934 in Czorkow, a small town just outside of Lwow, Poland. Having left her grandmother in an embroidered dress her talented seamstress mother lovingly lovingly made for her, Lola never removed it while in hiding. Through their experiments, Fleming realized the newfound drug would have to be used in high doses and for an extended amount of time. She has no one else. The first person views of Lola Kaufman provided a crystal clear window into the horrific prospect of being a hidden Jew during the Holocaust. At first, I wish the book was longer but then I thought Lola Rein was only 5 years old when all of it happened, and so I understood why the book I picked had only a hundred pages--so just the right exact amount of pages.
Which makes her 75 years old today In Poland on September 17, 1939, Russian tanks, trucks, and soldiers entered her home town when she was less than 5 years old. This time, however, Lola's parents were the ones to be murdered by the Gestapo; as with a number of Jewish children, this little girl was rescued by members of the underground. Up until this point Lola's life was good. Struggling against cold and hunger, the hidden family lives under the constant threat of discovery. She simply states ' They shot my mother ' and that was that. Interested in what would have prevented the bacteria growth, he took a sample from the small dish and discovered that a bacteria he called penicillin had prevented the spread of the other bacteria.
She brought out the small dress, still in good condition. While in recent years, the story of the rescue of Danish Jews has come to light, little has been written about the Jews of Norway. Lola has lost everything - her home and her family. In all the bleakness and terror, readers are reminded of the true heroes, the everyday people who risked their own very real death by trying to save the lives of hunted Jewish neighbors and friends. It's a heartbreaking true story. It was the work of Howard Florey, a prominent scientist at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, who decided to research Fleming's discoveries further. He noticed that soldiers treated with them were worse off than if they hadn't used anything at all.
He knew that deeper wounds had a high chance of infection. I enjoyed this book, though it was sad. Lola has lost everything--her home and her family. Eventually, an uncle found her, made her part of his family and brought her to America. During the war she lost most of her family except for two uncles. Lola attended school, married a survivor who was also a hidden child, had children and grandchildren, and lived in the suburbs.
While in hiding Lola wore a hand stitched embroidered dress that her mom had made for her. She was one of the lucky ones; one of the 10,000- 500,000 that survived. After that, her grandmother put all of her energy into saving 8-year old Lola. Lola is 7 years old when the war starts. What does the kaimito tree represent? The book is written for younger readers so many of the brutal horrors of the War are glossed over, but readers will still feel for this small child who must struggle to find herself in a world that is not always a wonderful place. During the war Lola was shuffled from one family to another. All she has left is one article of clothing, a dress lovingly embroidered by her mother.
