Patent Attorney Malpractice: Who Hears The Case?
In two recent suits, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri limited the use of the economic loss doctrine, ruling that the doctrine does not apply to claims for negligent misrepresentation. In Bruce Martin Construction, Inc. v. COB, Inc. and in Donnix Painting, LLC v. The Sherwin Williams Company, Judges Limbaugh and Perry, respectively, granted motions for summary judgment and to dismiss claims for negligent misrepresentation where the plaintiffs' only damages were economic and did not include property damage or bodily injury.
Economic loss is distinguished from harm to a person or damage to property. Economic loss includes costs of repair and replacement of the defective product or property which is the subject of the loss for inadequate value and subsequent loss of profits or use. Groppel Co. v. United States Gypsum Co. For example, there is no recovery in strict liability in tort where the only damage is to the product sold.
The economic loss doctrine was judicially created to protect the integrity of the UCC bargaining process, and to prevent tort law from altering the allocation of costs and risks negotiated by the parties. Missouri's economic loss doctrine grew out of claims of tort which were alleged against builders of home, or instances where a plaintiff sought to hold a manufacturer or distributor of a product liable in tort. As the courts have recently observed, given the availability of warranties the courts should not ask tort law to perform a job that contract law might perform better.
In Bruce Martin Construction, the issue was whether the plaintiff could bring a cause of action for negligent misrepresentation against the seller of a grain unloading system where the only alleged damage was the failure of the system to properly operate. Judge Stephen M. Limbaugh, Jr. set forth the applicable law regarding Missouri's economic loss doctrine.
Missouri's economic loss doctrine "prohibits a cause of action in tort where the losses are purely economic." The doctrine was set out by the Missouri Supreme Court in Crowder v. Vandendeale, where in an action by a subsequent home purchaser against the home builder to recover damages for latent structural defects, the court held that the purchaser's suit under a theory of implied warranty was an adequate remedy. The court accordingly barred the plaintiff's attempt to recover on his second theory of recovery based on the builder's failure to use ordinary care.
Judge Limbaugh noted that this case involved a merchant-to-merchant sale and the purchase of an allegedly defective product that has caused no injury or damage to other property. Other judges in this District have clarified the application of the economic loss doctrine, so that in an action involving a commercial transaction between merchants, a fraud claim to recover economic losses must be independent of the contract or such claim would be precluded by the economic loss doctrine.
In Donnix Painting, LLC v. Sherwin Williams Company, Judge Catherine D. Perry, applying Missouri law, this case, granted a defendant's motion to dismiss a claim for negligent misrepresentation for defective paint where there was no resulting bodily injury or property damage, citing the Bruce Martin Construction decision by Judge Limbaugh.
Missouri state courts have not ruled on whether they will recognize a cause of action for negligent misrepresentation for purely economic loss. Missouri courts have recognized rare exceptions to the economic loss doctrine. Examples include cases involving a fiduciary relationship or negligence in providing professional services. In fact, in B.L. Jet Sales, Inc. v. Alton Packaging Corp., the Missouri Court of Appeals recognized a cause of action for negligent misrepresentation for purely economic damages when the defendant failed to observe federal regulations requiring certain disclosures. Therefore, it is not clear that Missouri courts will follow the lead of the district courts in limiting the application of the economic loss doctrine where negligent misrepresentation is alleged.
Missouri courts have recognized further exceptions to the economic loss doctrine allowing a properly pled tort claim where a special or fiduciary relationship existed between the parties to a contract or where there was negligent rendition of professional services.
The two district court decisions may do a couple of things: (1) Further limit the theories of recovery that a plaintiff may have for purely economic loss; and (2) limit insurance coverage for cases of purely economic loss. Under Missouri law, there is generally insurance coverage for damages arising out of negligent misrepresentation. By removing negligent misrepresentation from a claimant's options, there is a lesser chance that insurers will be required to defend and indemnify claims where the damages are purely economic in nature. Under the two federal cases, Plaintiffs may no longer attempt to trigger coverage by alleging negligent misrepresentation. It remains to be seen whether the Missouri state courts will follow the district court's lead.

Home What's Up?
Former Nigerian beauty queen dies after operation to increase her backside failed
in What's Up?
According to Yen.com report, a Lagos-based cosmetic surgeon identified as Anu is currently on the run after she carried out cosmetic surgery on former Nigerian beauty queen Onwuzuligbo Nneka Miriam, resulting in her death.
Happy Birthday to me!!!… (Who am I to have enjoyed your love, care, gift, miracles and much more? But, you've kept me this far. Thank you Jesus, for another fulfilled year.) ❤🙏😇🎉🍷
A post shared by Nne…🇳🇬🇺🇸🇬🇧 (@minineks15) on Jul 15, 2018 at 4:14am PDT
Anu who is the owner of the cosmetic surgery outfit was approached by Onwuzuligbo for a BLL, liposuction and fat transfer on December 31, 2018, and got complications from it.
It was reported that Anu who usually hires or imports foreign doctors to help her out with the surgeries, decided to personally do the procedure on the victim as she wanted to try her hands at what she had been seeing the doctors do. Unfortunately, things became complicated leading to the victim's death.
Unconfirmed sources revealed that the victim's sister waited a long time for Anu to finish the procedure on her sister but decided to go into the theater and find out what the delay was.
This was when she saw the almost lifeless body of her sister on the operating table with Anu by the side not knowing what more to do.
Apparently, the victim has fallen into a coma due to the complications from the surgery.
She was allegedly rushed to a Hospital in Lekki and was put on life support but later moved to LUTH where she died on February 3 this year. The medical reports say that fat had entered her lungs, leading to her death.
Several reports revealed that Anu who is an American citizen is not a certified surgeon but got clients due to her popularity in Lagos. Sources reveal that she called up other clients stating she was refunding their monies to them. She, however, is nowhere to be found.
Insiders reveal that this is not her first mishap. According to them, she has done failed surgeries for two Lagos big girls which had to be corrected at another hospital.
Anu has since gone private on both her business and personal accounts and details about her whereabouts are yet to be confirmed.

Lloyd Shaw Foundation
The Lloyd Shaw Foundation was formed in 1964 in memory of square dance pioneer Lloyd Shaw to continue his mission of teaching American folk dance to people of all generations. Dorothy Shaw became a highly significant figure in the square dance world herself, lecturing widely, helping to start the Lloyd Shaw Foundation, and serving as Executive Secretary until 1979. Lloyd and Dorothy's daughter Doli married Donald Jenkins Obee, who served as President of the Foundation from 1965 until 1979; their daughter, Enid Cocke, has served as President since August of 1979. The Lloyd Shaw Foundation was voted into existence in August of 1964, following the yearly Lloyd Shaw Summer Fellowship held at the home of Dorothy Stott Shaw in Colorado Springs, CO. It was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in Colorado Springs, and the original membership consisted of 46 dance leaders from across the United States and Canada; by 1966 there were over 140 members. The Foundation is still incorporated in the state of Colorado, but its headquarters address moved to Manhattan, Kansas in 1979. The stated purpose of the organization is to, "Recall, restore, and teach the folk rhythms of the American people." Implicit in the mission is the additional goal of doing so in a manner consistent with the educational and dance philosophies of Lloyd Shaw. The first President of the Foundation was Don Armstrong, who served from 1964-1965; he stepped down under the conviction that a member of Lloyd Shaw's family should serve as president. Donald Jenkins Obee, Shaw's son-in-law, served as president from 1965 until 1979, and was followed in this position by his daughter Enid Cocke, 1979 to present. Dorothy Stott Shaw, Lloyd Shaw's wife, served as Executive Secretary from 1964 until 1979. Although the Foundation originally drew its membership from the Lloyd Shaw Summer Fellowship attendees, and conducted its annual meeting after the close of each Fellowship until 1978, the two were never officially affiliated. The Lloyd Shaw Foundation has had significant relationships with a number of other organizations, including the United Square Dancers of America, Legacy, and CALLERLAB, The Country Dance and Song Society, the New England Square Dance Foundation, and international music distributors. In 1986 the Library of Congress named the Archives Division as a clearing house for square dance materials, and in 1987 the Archives helped form the National Dance Archives Coordinating Committee. The Lloyd Shaw Foundation's primary functions and activities are educational; although it focuses on square and contra dancing, many other dance traditions are represented in its programs. Under the Foundation's auspices, college credit-granting workshops were conducted at Colorado State University from 1965 until the mid-1970s, and at other universities and colleges as well; workshops and teacher training courses continue to be held around the country and internationally, and the Foundation and its members have consistently conducted presentations and dances at the request of numerous organizations. The Foundation has actively produced and revised targeted dance education kits to assist teachers in dance education since 1966, including resources designed specifically for grades from kindergarten through high school as well as special education students. Other activities have included sponsoring and running dance camps, particularly the Rocky Mountain Dance Roundup in Colorado, Cumberland Gap in Kentucky, and Terpsichore's Holiday in West Virginia; providing scholarships for members and groups to attend various dance camps around the country and to travel internationally; and providing research and historical services through the Lloyd Shaw Dance Library and the Archives Division. The Foundation has also acted as a publisher for musical recordings and dance books, and publishes its own journal. Since 1967, members of the Board of Directors have served for a maximum of two consecutive three-year terms, with descendants and relatives of Lloyd Shaw being exempt from the term limits. From 1976 until 2004, the Archives Division existed as an independent entity within the Lloyd Shaw Foundation administrative structure, overseen by its director and the Executive Directors. The Foundation maintained an office for its mailing operations in Lakewood, CO from 1972 until they were moved to Albuquerque, NM in 1988, where they shared facilities with the Archives Division. The Archives Division was disbanded after its materials were donated to the University of Denver in 2003. In 1972 the Lloyd Shaw Foundation Dance Archives was started by Mary D Walsh. At the time, it consisted of a single 8mm film of E.S. "Red" Henderson calling for his Spokane, Washington-based performance group, the Silver Spurs. In August of 1976 the Foundation's Board of Directors voted to create an official Archives Division; Dr. Litchman was appointed Director, under the direction of the Executive Committee. By December the Archives was offering photocopies, research services, and a tape recording service; the organizational newsletter, the "Long Shadow," actively solicited donations of both money and materials. In 1978 the Board of Directors voted to provide an operating budget and funds for acquisitions. Prior to and even after the formation of the Archives researchers had access to the Lloyd Shaw Dance Library, which consisted of Lloyd Shaw's personal collection, at the home of Dorothy Shaw in Colorado Springs, CO. Some of these resources were later incorporated into the Archives, but many remained in the possession of the family. The Archives was housed at Dr. Litchman's home in Albuquerque, NM until 1982. In 1982 it was shifted into a renovated chicken coop, and moved again in 1988 to a local dance studio purchased by the Foundation. Dr. Litchman began negotiations to permanently move the Lloyd Shaw Foundation Dance Archives to the University of Denver in 2002, and the transition was completed in 2003.

Metal Sucks Cavalera Brothers to Perform Sepultura's Roots on Tour Anthrax Sued for MetalSucks-Inspired Hanukkah Sweater Design
Upcoming Bullsh*t
Cavalera Brothers to Perform Sepultura's Roots on Tour
February 8th, 2016 at 11:00am
Anso DF
Sepultura is one of many '80s thrash metal acts whose '90s recordings were marked by a shift from lean metal speed to baggy macho groove. At the time, your acceptance of their ratio of "pressure of commerce" to "creative progression" depended on perspective; a decade later, less subjective was the ease with which a fan could turn cynical when the same bands returned to thrash and disowned their post-Korn dabblings. Whatever. For the little it's worth, each change telegraphed a lapse in confidence that jibes not one iota with metal's DGAF ethos. There was dissonance. Still, no biggie, we're all human.
But now what are fans to feel when an artist goes back again? That's what Sepultura's former frontman Max Cavalera announced to Planet Mosh on Friday: He and Sep's ex-drummer Igor Cavelera plan to perform a full album from the band's first era on tour this year. In the spirit of "conflicting emotions" (and maybe a dab of timely contrarianism), the brothers selected not Sepultura's beloved breakthrough album nor the most canonized one, but, rather, their half-considered swan song Roots, a.k.a. the one that prepped fans for the elder Cavelera's looming and enthusiastic departure for nu-metalier pastures via his next band Soulfly. And it will be performed by half of its creators and presumably none of its fancy guests, so even if Roots' 20th birthday is in a couple weeks, this tour feels like a non-starter. Or shit, maybe Metallica is about to announce an anniversary tour for Load.

Keepers of the lighthouse: Port Isabel takes action to maintain 20-year agreement
Alana Hernandez
Port Isabel city officials are concerned about what will happen to their agreement to operate and maintain the lighthouse as the State Legislature considers bills to transfer its stewardship. (Alana Hernandez/Valley Morning Star)
PORT ISABEL — It's a Valley icon.
As far as the town's people are concerned, the Port Isabel Lighthouse has become the city's identity and serves as its brand.
Now, the city is concerned about what will become of the stewardship of the 166-year-old, state-owned lighthouse.
Officials here fear that two companion bills recently filed in the Texas House and Senate could put a 23-year-old agreement between the city of Port Isabel and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) in jeopardy.
The agreement allows the city of Port Isabel's Department of Historical Preservation to daily operate, generate revenue and manage maintenance of the lighthouse.
However, if the identical SB 605 and HB 1422 are passed, stewardship, operations and generated revenue would be transferred from TPWD to the Texas Historical Commission (THC) as early as Sept. 1 of this year.
City Manager Jared Hockema said he went to the state Capitol on Tuesday to discuss the city's concerns with legislators.
"Our concern is one, we have a great relationship with Texas Parks and Wildlife and would like for that to continue," Hockema said. "Two, if there is a change in the stewardship of the lighthouse, we're anxious that the agreement will remain the same, and we will continue to be able to operate the lighthouse in the manner that we do now."
Hockema said it's a matter that the city has been watching for a while.
City officials passed a resolution in July 2018 stating the city's wish to continue their agreement with TPWD.
"Regardless of what happens, we want to keep the same arrangements with whichever agency the lighthouse ends up with," Hockema said.
Several events, such as Lighthouse Market Day, Queen Isabella Market Day and Lighthouse Establishment Cinema are held annually throughout the year.
According to Port Isabel Marketing Director Valerie Bates, the lighthouse has a big impact on the town.
"It's a tourism beacon," Bates said. "Nearly tens of thousands of people visit the park every year and nearly 20,000 climb all the way up to the lighthouse, so it's an important part of our economic impact for sure."
Scott Hanson and his family made their first trip to the lighthouse from Boise, Idaho.
"My family and our relatives from Nebraska decided to meet at the lighthouse because we could all find it since we were traveling separately," Hanson said. "We figured after we visited the lighthouse, we'd check out all of the restaurants and shops around here."
WHY THE BILLS WERE CREATED
The Texas Legislature has a process called the Sunset Review of Agencies periodically once every 12 years and began its most recent review in 2017.
Texas state Rep. Chris Paddie, Sen. Brian Birdwell and Sen. Dawn Buckingham wrote the bills as a result of the review.
In addition to the Port Isabel Lighthouse, seven other historical sites — including Battleship Texas, Fanthorp Inn, Fort Leaton, Lipantitlan Monument Hill, San Jacinto Battleground and Washington-on-the-Brazos — could have their stewardship, operations and generated revenue transferred to the Texas Historical Commission if the bills are passed.
According to Texas Sunset Commission officials, the bills aren't designed to have a financial impact or change.
Sunset Commission officials clarified that the state of Texas is still the owner whether the Port Isabel Lighthouse is with TPWD or the or the historical commission.
One agency is geared more toward historic preservation of sites and the other is geared toward parks and outdoor recreation.
According to Sunset Commission officials, the bills were designed to ensure "efficient and effective maintenance of the property and improvement in the historic narrative."

As we know, the first matchup of the season is rife with opportunities to panic. It's important to keep some perspective – your goalie is going to make saves, your star winger will score a bunch of goals, and no, you shouldn't drop that first line center to pick up *squints* Warren Foegele just because he had a 3 point night against the Rangers.
However, there are a few things that we've noticed already this season. The adjustment to the scoring has created more swings between games, with players hitting more dramatic highs and lows. Goalies especially are susceptible to these swings, as evidenced by Marc-Andre Fleury's -4.3 stinker against Philadelphia to open the season. Overall the breakdown between skaters and goalies is a little wonky, but don't forget that scoring is higher during the beginning of the season when teams haven't tightened up their defensive schemes.
It was a nailbiter between Jace and Chris that came down to a single assist from Jake Muzzin late Sunday night to give Chris the victory. Brett, Sohayl, Steve and Rhys all won pretty convincingly over Brennan, Frank, Davin and Kyle/John respectively. Finally, we saw our defending champion Brock fall to our basement dweller Cal – could this be a sign that things are going to be shaken up this season?
We're debuting a new segment this year, focussing on one high performing free agent from the week.
Jordan Martinook has taken a slow, methodical route to becoming an NHL regular. Hailing from Brandon, Manitoba, Martinook went from the Drayton Valley Thunder of the AJHL to the Vancouver Giants in the WHL, where he put up a surprising 64 points in the 2011-2012 season. Following that breakout season he was chosen in the late second round of the 2012 Draft by the Coyotes, and spent most of the next 3 seasons playing for Arizona's AHL affiliate in Portland, Maine.
Martinook became a full-time NHLer in 2015-2016, and had two straight seasons of 3rd and 4th line work, playing a little over 15 minutes per night and collecting 24-25 points per year. His 2017-2018 season was a disappointment however, as his shooting percentage cratered and his icetime was cut, ending the season with a mere 15 points in 81 games. In the offseason we was traded to Carolina for Marcus Krueger, a trade that seemed like both teams looking to rid themselves of players that desperately needed a fresh start.
So far this has been a phenomenal move for Martinook, who has started the season with 2 goals and 1 assist in the first 3 games. He's been moving up and down the lineup, getting playing time with Jordan Staal and Justin Williams, as well as with young Russian phenom Andrei Svechnikov.
He's not likely to be a permanent piece of your team, but he'd be worth a look when you need to pick up a left winger to round out your roster.
With the Thanksgiving/Columbus Day starts, we're already well into this week's matchups. We've got Brock and Rhys facing off in a replay of last year's championship series for bragging rights as well as Brennan-Sohayl, Jace-Cal, Steve-Brett and Davin-Frank. Finally, Kyle and John and looking for their first victory as they take on Chris, who just barely squeaked by Jace this week.
Matchup 11 – Tightrope
The Slimmest of Margins (Semi-Finals Recap)


As i'm sure a lot of you who follow emulation and general gaming heard about the missing snes games that were worth $10k were lost in post, and did make major news posts on emulation sites and gaming sites alike.
But today the panic is officially over.
On February 21st, I received an e-mail on the missing mail search I had submitted on January 30th, informing me that my package had been located!
Excited, I contacted my CA rep.
... who then proceeded to tell me that the search had failed, and that the e-mail notification was errant.
However, she promised to request all possible locations the package could have ended up at to do one last search.
The CA rep called me late in the day advising that someone in the Atlanta, GA mail recovery center had just now located my package!
Thankfully, the photographs I took of the packages before sending back the first batch of 100 games proved useful with exact appearance, dimensions, weight, etc being available for the search team.
Still, given all the constant ups and downs, I wanted to wait until the package was in hand before giving anyone any false hope.
Finally, today, February 23rd, the ordeal is finally over!

Polen is het Belangrijkst (PJN) (Pools: Polska Jest Najważniejsza) was een centrumrechtse politieke partij in Polen, die heeft bestaan van 2010 tot 2014.

PJN werd opgericht op 12 december 2010 door een groep leden van de Sejm en het Europees Parlement, die kort daarvoor uit de partij Recht en Rechtvaardigheid (PiS) waren gezet of gestapt. Voorzitter van de partij werd Joanna Kluzik-Rostkowska, die in 2007 enkele maanden minister van Arbeid en Sociale Zaken in de regering van Jarosław Kaczyński en tijdens de presidentsverkiezingen van 2010 diens campagneleider was geweest. Al eerder, op 23 november 2010, was er in de Sejm een gelijknamige fractie van 15 leden ontstaan. In januari 2011 traden tot deze fractie ook enkele parlementariërs van het Burgerplatform toe.

De partij gold vooral als een gematigde, liberalere variant van de PiS, maar miste een programmatische basis en viel al snel ten prooi aan interne conflicten. Kluzik-Rostkowska werd op 4 juni 2011 opgevolgd door Paweł Kowal en verliet enkele dagen later de partij, om vervolgens toe te treden tot het Burgerplatform. Ook andere parlementariërs van PJN verlieten de fractie. Op 4 augustus van dat jaar nam de partij deel aan de parlementsverkiezingen, maar behaalde niet meer dan 2,19% van de stemmen, niet genoeg voor een zetel.

Op 7 december 2013 besloot PJN zichzelf op te heffen om toe te treden tot de nieuwe partij Polska Razem van voormalig minister van Justitie Jarosław Gowin, die eerder (samen met onder meer John Godson) uit het Burgerplatform was gestapt. Formeel bleef ze nog bestaan tot 14 februari 2014, de dag waarop de nieuwe partij officieel werd geregistreerd.

May 23 (Reuters) - British soft drink company Britvic Plc said its half-year revenue rose 4.5 percent to 733.2 million pounds, as it sold more no- or low-sugar drinks including Pepsi that helped offset the impact of poor weather.
Shares of the FTSE 250 listed company was up as much as 8 percent in early market trading on Wednesday.
Sales in the UK for its carbonated drinks rose to 294.9 million pounds from 270.3 million pounds, while volumes increased 5.1 percent to 677.3 million litres last year.
"Pepsi has continued to grow volume and value market share, with no-sugar MAX outgrowing all other cola variants. Revenues also increased for 7UP, Tango and our natural energy brand Purdey's," the company said.
The UK bottler said profit before tax for the 28 weeks ended April 15 fell to 41.8 million pounds from 50.1 million pounds, as it took a charge of 21.6 million pounds.
The results included only one week of trading following the introduction of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, the company said, adding it is too soon to judge the consumer response and give a guidance on its impact.
Britain's sugar tax levy, which came into force in April, has two thresholds - one of 18 pence per litre on soft drinks with more than 5 grams of sugar per 100 ml and another of 24 pence per litre on those with more than 8 grams per 100 ml.
Ninety-four percent of Britvic's owned brands and 72 percent of the company's overall portfolio are either under or exempt from the sugar tax.
The company said it sold 1.2 billion litres of soft drinks this year, a 3.6 percent increase from last year. Average realised price for its beverages rose 0.5 percent to 57.4 pence.

The store is popular among the 20-and-younger crowd and also people who prefer not to drink alcohol, but many other customers simply appreciate the clever names, humorous labels, and purchase unique sodas as gifts for others.
"I think 95% of our customers just want to say they tried something once," he says.
Luitjens, a former "radio guy" who once was the play-by-play announcer for the North Dakota State Bison football team, still has a flair for marketing.
One recent store promotion, the Red Party 4-pack, included a bottle of Leninade, Stalinade, Fidel Castro Havana Banana, and Kim Jong-un Nuclear Bomb. It was a big hit, he laughs.
And while the store's sales numbers are off slightly and spring can't come soon enough, Luitjens is taking it all in stride. "Mentally and physically, my stress-level is different, but I'm more in control.

Is the Government Really Serious About Eliminating Preventable Deaths?
Right to Life commends the government for considering introducing a zero road death policy by 2020. Last year 380 persons tragically lost their lives on New Zealand roads. This is an appalling statistic. Every death is a tragedy for families and the community. Every one of these deaths was preventable. However If the government is really serious about eliminating preventable deaths, should they not recognise that the most dangerous place today for New Zealanders is not on our roads but in the mother's womb?
It is the government that legislates for the efficient running of the abortion industry.
It is the government that authorises the killing.
It is the government that provides free abortion to New Zealand women and funds the abortion industry with unlimited funding as a core health service with no waiting list.
It is the government that provides hospitals, abortionists and staff for the efficient running of the industry and decrees that every District Health Board has to provide this "termination of pregnancy service".
Our nation rightly grieves over our appalling road toll, but is reduced to silence over the killing of the innocent unborn whose deaths are just a statistic included in the annual report to Parliament of the Abortion Supervisory Committee. Who will mourn with the wounded mothers, who are frequently coerced into having an abortion and who are often bereft at the loss of their child? These children were considered to be of little worth. They were not recognised as human beings with an innate dignity and endowed at conception by their Creator with human rights; the foundation right being a right to life.
The media no longer comment on our abortion statistics because the killing of these children is not news, it is of little interest and concern. It was that mass murderer Joseph Stalin who said that, the killing of one person is a tragedy, but the killing of thousands, just a statistic.
It is a tragedy that the government accepts the preventable killing of the unborn and is now proposing to change the law to remove women and their unborn from the protection of the Crimes Act and to make the killing of the unborn, a 'health' issue. In the chilling words of the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, "to make changes in New Zealand's abortion's laws that are consistent with treating abortion as a health issue that is a reproductive choice for women" Let us as a caring nation seek to eliminate both our road toll and our abortion toll, all of which deaths are preventable deaths.
We all have a sacred duty to defend the right to life of every member of our human family from conception to natural death. The Law Commission on 4th April in a media release has invited members of the community to make submissions on the review of the abortion laws in New Zealand directed by the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern. It is her wish that abortion be taken out of the Crimes Act and treated as a health issue. She believes that the killing of an unborn child should not be a crime, but a human right. She believes the killing of an unborn child should be treated as an issue of choice for women.
The Minister of Justice in a response of the 16th March to an Official Information Act request from Right to Life confirmed that the government supported the born alive law contained in section 159 of the Crimes Act that an unborn child does not become a human being until it is born. This is a legal fiction designed to differentiate between homicide and the killing of an unborn child. Prior to birth the child has no right to life and a right to be born. It has the same status as a slave and is the property of the mother. The claim of the Prime Minister that abortion is a woman's right to choose, is the same argument used by slave owners in the Southern States of America in the nineteenth century; that it was their right to choose to own slaves.
It is the government's intention to remove women and their unborn from the protection of the Crimes Act to facilitate the killing of the unborn who are deemed to be unwanted under the guise of it being a health service. This is a violation of human rights and a crime against humanity. It is absolutely imperative that we retain the killing of the unborn as a crime in the Crimes Act.
The publication which follows is a re-post from the Law Commission's website calling for public submissions on the issue of NZ law relating to abortion. It comes in direct response to a directive from our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to put aside other work the Law Commission is involved in and expedite investigations into how Abortion can be removed from the NZ Crime statutes.
Right to Life believes that this is an appalling move that comes at a time when the humanity of the unborn child has never been more recognised and flies in the face of everything the government is advocating egarding the rights of the disadvantaged. While all manner of effort is being made to protect those who at risk there is one group of human beings, the unborn, who are directly in the crosshairs and targeted for further destruction. Ardern has made it her personal agena to remove the last remaining constraints available to protect the unborn, inherent in our Crimes Act legislation.
Jacinda Ardern has already informed in response to an OIA request by Right to Life that she has no evidence to support her contention that abortion criminalises women and that it should be treated as a health issue and taken out of the Crimes Act.
In response to the call by the Law Commission for submissions Right to Life urges all concerned citizens to respond by making their concerns known by making a submission. This need not be a lengthy one, even a few sentences would be effective in informing the Law Commission of the concerns of the community. Submissions must be made by 5 pm on the 18th of May. Addresses to repsond to are given in the body of the Commissions media release below.
The Law Commission Media Release reads as follows….
The killing of the unborn is a crime, a justice issue and not a health issue. The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern in an undated letter obtained by Right to Life under the Official Information Act has directed the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little to refer the abortion laws to the Law Commission, "to make changes to ensure New Zealand's abortion laws are consistent with treating abortion as a health issue that is a reproductive choice for women, rather than as a criminal issue." A letter to the Law Commission from Little directing the Commision in this regard is also shown in the above link.
Never before in the history of New Zealand has a Prime Minister instructed a Minister of Justice to take steps to withdraw the protection of the law and the Crimes Act from New Zealanders in their first nine months of life in the womb. Under the Prime Ministership of Jacinda Ardern the most dangerous place for a New Zealander today is increasingly the mother's womb. The proposal of the Prime Minister is a statement to women that your child has no rights, is of no value and that the state has no interest in protecting you or your child from the violence of abortion. It is your right to kill your child if you choose.
In a response to a recent Official Information Act request from Right to Life, the Prime Minster disclosed that she had no evidence to support her claims that abortion criminalised women and that the killing of the unborn child was not a crime and was a health issue.
Abortion is violence against women and their unborn.
Right to Life, in defence of mothers and their unborn, deplores the decision of the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little, to refer the abortion laws to the Law Commission for review. The killing of the unborn is a crime, it is not a health issue. It has been in the Crimes Act since 1856. It is the Minister's intention to legislate, that the killing of the unborn is no longer a crime but a health service; this is an appalling injustice to women and their precious unborn. It is also his intention to remove expectant mothers and their unborn from the protection of the Crimes Act.
Right to Life is opposed to the sinister proposal of the Minister of Justice to remove abortion from the Crimes Act. Since 1856 this act has outlawed the killing of the unborn and provided legal protection for mothers and their vulnerable and defenceless unborn children.
The Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has given a written direction to the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little, to remove abortion from the Crimes Act. It is her belief and that of the Minister of Justice that the killing of an unborn child in an abortion is not a crime and should be taken out of the Crimes Act and made a health issue.
This proposal will effectively mean that those unborn who are classified as unwanted will be deprived of the protection of the Crimes Act and allow for them to be killed. However the unborn children who are classified as wanted will retain the protection of the Crimes Act and of the state. This is an appalling and unprecedented violation of human rights. It is discrimination against the most vulnerable members of our human family.
Why is the media silent in the face of this proposed violation of the human rights of mothers and their unborn the weakest and most defenceless members of the human family?
Never before in the history of New Zealand has there been an attempt to withdraw from the Crimes Act protection for the lives of a category of vulnerable New Zealanders. This ominous proposal is a threat to the lives of all New Zealanders. If today the state can withdraw legal protection for the inalienable right to life of the unborn then tomorrow a future government could legislate to withdraw the protection of the Crimes Act from another vulnerable group classified as unwanted, such as those with dementia and Alzheimer's.
It is truly ironic that the Minister is anxious to continue the protection of the Crimes Act for women who tragically lose a child in the womb after being assaulted, while at the same time accepting the violent and deadly assault on an unborn child by a doctor who dismembers a defenceless and innocent child in the womb. Not only so but this is to regarded as a health service approved and funded by the Minister's government.
The Prime Minister has said Labour wants to modernise the laws and see abortion treated as a health issue not a criminal one. It is deeply sad and troubling that the Prime Minister who herself is with child is determined to make it easier for her fellow women to kill their babies. The killing of a child is a human rights issue, it is not a health issue. Pregnancy is not a disease and abortion is not health care.
The once great humanitarian Labour Party has lost its way. The first duty of the state is to protect the right to life of all from conception to natural death and not to preside over our destruction. This anti-life proposal is alien to the principles of Michael Joseph Savage, Peter Fraser, Walter Nash and the other great leaders of the Labour party.
Prime Minister admits under Official Information Act – No case to justify decriminalising abortion.
The Prime Minister owes the women of New Zealand an apology. On the 1st February, in response to an Official Information Act request from Right to Life she disclosed that she has no evidence to support her claims that the killing of an unborn child is not a crime, that the abortion law makes criminals out of women and that abortion should not be in the Crimes Act.
These statements are patently false and misleading to the community. Right to Life is totally opposed to women being burdened with the guilt that they are criminals. This is an unwarranted and cruel imposition that is strongly rejected by the pro-women and pro-life movement.
It is a crime to kill an unborn child, the weakest and most defenceless member of the human family. The Crimes Act has provided protection for the lives of women and the unborn since 1856. There are no just grounds for decriminalising the killing of the unborn and declaring it a health issue.
Right to Life asks the Prime Minister to be an advocate for women and their precious unborn children by seeking to have the abortion laws in the Crimes Act upheld as was the intention of Parliament. The Prime Minister should also oppose the advocacy of the anti-women movement led by Family Planning, for the decriminalising of abortion.
I believe the "righteousness of personhood" is stronger than the "evil of pre-natal murder" and will ultimately prove triumphant.

"Eye movements are important for gathering information from the world and the memory centre of the brain – the hippocampus – is important for binding this data together to form a memory of what our eyes see," says Dr. Jennifer Ryan, RRI senior scientist and Reva James Leeds Chair in Neuroscience and Research Leadership. "But we found that older adults are not building up the memory in the same way as younger adults. Something is falling apart somewhere along the path of taking in visual information through the eyes and storing what is seen into a memory."
Previously, Baycrest researchers had identified a connection between what we see and how we remember – when the eyes view and process more details of an object in front of them, there is more brain activity in the memory centre of the brain. When the object is seen multiple times, there is a progressive drop in hippocampus activity, indicating that what is seen is no longer new information. But this doesn't happen with older adults.


Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-04-14, fight not particularly good between Daniel Weichel and John Teixeira da Conceicao: it gets two stars.
The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and former M-1 Global Lw champion Daniel Weichel entered this fight with a pro mma record of 38-9-0 (71% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.11 featherweight in the world. He suffered his last loss when he faced Patricio Freire in 2015 (=Freire vs Weichel) but then he has won over Georgi Karakhanyan (=Weichel vs Karakhanyan), Emmanuel Sanchez (=Weichel vs Sanchez) and Brian Moore (=Weichel vs Moore).
His opponent, the black belt in Bjj John Teixeira da Conceicao, has a record of 21-1-2 (67% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.24 in the same weight class. 'Macapa' Teixeira suffered his only loss when he faced Hugo Viana in 2012, since then he has collected nine victories and one draw beating Justin Lawrence in his last one (=Lawrence vs Teixeira). Daniel Weichel vs John Teixeira da Conceicao is on the undercard of Eduardo Dantas vs Leandro Higo – Bellator 177. Watch the video and rate this fight!


Gluten-free Pasta, Here I Come!
I'll admit it – I've been purposely avoiding pasta. We eat it all the time in our house, but it's always gluten-free and it's ridiculously easy to mess up on its own. Honestly I usually don't make it for company because it turns out awful. However, we needed to grocery shop and pasta was what we had left for dinner, so here goes solar cooked pasta.
I treated it as a one dish meal. I used the solar oven to heat the water, then I brought it inside and let the broccoli and pasta sit in the water to cook. Once it was tender, I drained it and served it with pasta sauce and beans.
It worked! The pasta was cooked correctly and good. The kida ate it and we got off to our evening activities in time! My one complaint is that there was a bit of a solar oven smell to the food. I think I probably need to clean my oven. But that will be another day and another post!

COOKING WITH DAVE
A Taste of Old
J. David Riva was born into an entertainment family. His Father was a Scenic Designer, his Mother a star of Early Television, his Grandmother was Marlene Dietrich. Throughout his childhood his family lived in six countries, finally returning to the United States in 1973. After attending Dalton High school in Manhattan, David went into the family business. He began by becoming an associate producer on Broadway, working on both Television and stage productions.
Shortly after, he got a job in the Mailroom of one of the country's top Talent Agencies, "International Creative Management" (ICM). After attending and graduating from Antioch College with a BA in Film, he returned to ICM where he worked his way up in the company and eventually became a full agent, representing a variety of musical groups, actors, producers, and writers. He made the move to Los Angeles while Head of Talent for the prestigious talent agency "The Lantz Office." There, he began packaging Film and Television and helping Production companies formulate Branding, Advertising, and resource outreach programs. His Celebrity Clients included Bette Davis, The Tennessee Williams Estate, Michael Jackson, and many others. He was instrumental in forming "Film Polski". His career as an agent
spanned 32 years.
It's all about Recipes from Old Hollywood: from my Grandmother's favorite recipes to legendary meals served at some of Hollywood's gastric institutions like the Brown Derby. 1930 to 1960 was the time to eat! I'm going to bring some of these dishes back. Like, when was the last time you had an awesome Beef Stroganoff? Or perhaps some of that Steak Diane they used to eat at Chasen's? It's going to be fun!

The trappings of a motorcycle rider add to his or her status and image projected out to fellow riders. A "cool" motorcycle helmet must not only consider appearance (including material, color or graphics) but also, and more importantly, account for safety. Tough, seasoned riders know how to protect themselves while protecting their egos. Don't be left in the dust--make an informed choice of motorcycle helmet by reading through both appearance options and degrees of motorcycle helmet safety.
Full face helmets, hybrid helmets, open face helmets, short helmets and specific makes such as Motor Cross helmets have their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to motorcycle helmet safety and appeal.
Easily distinguished, full face motorcycle helmets provide extra strength around the skull and chin. They can, however, cause the rider's face to become overheated and steamed up. Hybrid helmets let the rider slide up the chin portion and are good for people with glasses. Open face motorcycle helmets, or 3/4 motorcycle helmets, are designed to cover the ears and side of the face but fail to protect the chin and eyes (unless visors are added). Shorty helmets, or half motorcycle helmets, are simple helmets that leave the chin and side of the face exposed. Motor Cross helmets include motorcycle helmet accessories such as goggles or a dirt cap.
Once you have established how much coverage your motorcycle helmet will provide, it is time to examine special features such as decals, stickers, color and material. The cost will vary according to size and how much attention you give to appearance.
