An Introduction to Death Is Not "The End"


One of the places that I love to go to and try to find great deals are at a local antique mall. They have everything from advertising to pottery, and the inventory is usually different. If you have never been to one, what are some of the things that you should expect?
The first thing is that the dealers that have a booth there are most likely not going to be there. The antique mall will have someone up front running the store.
The second thing to remember is the people that run the store are open to offers on just about any item. If the item came out of a booth that another dealer runs, the people that run the mall will be more than glad to call the dealer and give them the offer for you.
Always make sure you look at the tag—if the tag says FIRM, then the dealer will not take an offer on it.
The third thing to remember is that one of the best times to get a great deal is the middle of the week. Auctions, estate sales and even garage sales are more often than not going to be on the weekend—the dealers will bring in new inventory about Tuesday or Wednesday and try to clear out the old about the same time.
The last thing to remember is that you never know what you are going to run across, so keep your eyes peeled.
What kinds of tips that you use when you shop at an antique mall?

Dallas Sidekicks games to air on TXA21
by John Lenard November 24, 2020 November 24, 2020 Leave a Comment on Dallas Sidekicks games to air on TXA21
The Dallas Sidekicks have landed a new television deal, with 8 weekend home games to air on TXA21 during the 2020-2021 season.
This is the first local broadcast agreement for the Sidekicks since the 2016-17 season, taking the place of the now-defunct Spectrum Sports Texas (formerly Time Warner SportsNet) that broadcast games during their first five seasons.
The emphasis on home games in particular for the broadcast is part of the Sidekicks' attempts to keep fans involved during what looks to be another COVID-affected season. By broadcasting home games, the team hopes that fans who are unable or unwilling to attend in-person events can still follow the team.
The remaining games will be available on YouTube, with a select few league games broadcast on Eleven Sports as part of a league-wide agreement.
While the specific games to be broadcast have yet to be announced, the agreement is set to begin in January 2021, along with the expected start of the MASL regular season.
MASL action returns with the inaugural MASL All-Star Game, set for December 5 at Cable Dahmer Arena, home of the Kansas City Comets. Sidekicks midfielder Lipe Andrade will represent Dallas as part of the West All-Stars.
The Sidekicks as a whole will return for the new Central Cup preseason tournament, comprising Dallas, Kansas City, Wichita, and St. Louis. Dallas hosts Kansas City on December 12, plays in Wichita on December 18, and finishes two days later with a game in St. Louis.
The Sidekicks begin the league season on January 2, 2021, at home.

The Christmas season is filled with a sense of merriment, wonder, and joy as faithful Christians come together to celebrate the birth of the Savior. This Christmas, share the hope that is found in Jesus Christ with children in need around the world. A gift as small as $7 can help provide a child with meals, clothes, healthcare, and support in the Name of Jesus Christ.
When Mary held baby Jesus for the first time, she likely didn't know the amazing journey His life would take. Though she lived to see His ministry fulfilled, there are mothers all over the world that never have the opportunity to see their children grow up. An estimated 800 women die every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Your gift of $75 can help Samaritan's Purse provide life-saving services to young mothers through building birthing centers, educating about nutritional essentials, and meeting other urgent needs related to pregnancy and childbirth.
Most families gather together to have a large Christmas feast with all their favorite fixings to celebrate the birth of the King. However, many families struggle to simply put food on the table every day. Nothing is more detrimental to a child's development than malnutrition. A lack of proper nutrients as an infant can cause physical and mental problems that can plague a child for his or her entire life. Your small gift of $9 can provide therapeutic or supplemental food for a week so that a famished child can be nursed back to health.
Christmas is an opportunity for families and friends to gather together and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. But millions of children around the world have no home or family to call their own. A gift of $35 can provide food, housing, healthcare, education, and other daily necessities for children living in Christ-centered orphanages.
A hot bowl of soup can often help a winter day feel warm and bright. But many children never experience a warm meal at home. Samaritan's Purse is dedicated to providing much-needed meals to students at schools in Bolivia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and elsewhere. These meals can not only sate their hunger but can also help improve their school performance. Your gift of $7 can provide a week's worth of meals to one child and give them the opportunity to hear the Gospel.
Samaritan's Purse feeds over a million people a year in refugee camps and disaster zones, and we want each one of them to know that they can trust Jesus to meet their daily needs. Your gift of $35 will help us to distribute enough grains and other staples to sustain an entire family for a month.
While some are dreaming of a white Christmas, many families across the globe struggle to provide the most basic protective clothing for their children during the cold winter months. Children exposed to the cold for extended periods of time can suffer from nosebleeds, frostbite, and hypothermia. Your gift of $25 can provide needy children with shoes and clothing that can keep them warm and healthy throughout the winter.
For children living in developing countries, a physical disability can mean a life lived in pain and discomfort. All children are precious in the eyes of God, and Samaritan's Purse works with missionary surgeons around the world to help children walk or overcome their disability. Your gift of $250 can provide these precious children with a wheelchair, surgery, prosthetic limb, physical therapy, or other care in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus and his family fled Bethlehem for Egypt shortly after his birth in order to escape the murderous King Herod of Judea. Millions of children around the world face daily struggles to survive. Circumstances can force children into vulnerable positions like living on the streets, begging for food, working in sweatshops, and participating in other dangerous situations. For $75, we can provide these desperate and vulnerable children with a safe place to stay, daily necessities, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

CBC Salaries Report Unveils The Numbers, But Not The Names

Four on-air employees at CBC/Radio-Canada earn more than $300,000, but the broadcaster won't say which ones, arguing it would be a violation of the Privacy Act.
The CBC has released documents online, ahead of a Senate hearing, detailing salaries for their on-air talent and their management team. They show the four top-paid on-air employees earn an average of $485,667.
Another 15 employees make between $200,000 and $300,000. There are a total of 1.286 employees in CBC's on-air groups.
The document release is the latest episode in a tug-of-war between the Conservative government and the CBC.
Senators on the transport and communications committee have been trying to get the broadcaster to reveal the salaries of its top employees. They heavily criticized an earlier release from the CBC, which provided only the union's salary ranges for various types of employees. Some said the release was misleading, as it suggested that chief anchor Peter Mansbridge would only earn about $80,000 a year.
Mansbridge is believed to be among the four top-earning employees listed in the document, according to the Ottawa Citizen, which first reported on the new CBC documents.
The Harper government has reduced funding for the CBC by $115 million a year, leading to cutbacks and layoffs. The broadcaster took another financial hit when it lost NHL rights to Rogers Communications last year.
Many backers of the broadcaster say the Senate hearings are part of a long-running effort by the Conservative government ultimately to defund the CBC.
The government has previously acknowledged legislation prevents it from releasing the salaries of individual earners at the CBC, but has urged the broadcaster to come forward with the information anyway.
A CBC spokesperson told the Citizen the new documents are meant to explain how CBC staffers are paid without revealing individuals' private information.
"This level of disclosure goes further than what is currently available from any other federal Crown corporation or national Canadian broadcaster. It also strives to strike a balance between accountability to taxpayers, and maintaining the privacy employees are afforded under the (Privacy) Act," France Belisle said.

After the rumbling of the political elections is left behind, the tough test of the new socialist government lies ahead. Its success will be measured by the practical results that the promised reforms will yield. The great bet is on the economy, the judicial and the anti-corruption reforms. The central issue to be addressed seems to be building up a sound structure of constitutionalism, hence the reign of the rule of law.
The magic wand is the vetting of the magistrates, but the ultimate goal is stripping the ruling class of its economic privileges. The mutual trust between the ruling class and the citizens, which is the social glue of a democratic society, seems to be fundamentally shaken by the lack of integrity of the judiciary and corruption of state officials. Thus, the reforming task of the government is to annihilate the infamous idea of corruption as a social category of thought, and as an organizing principle of state institutions.
Embarking on such a project is undoubtedly the political will of the incumbent socialist government constantly under pressure by the E.U and the U.S., but how credible is the method that it has - so far- appeared to adopt such an enterprise? It is a well-known political maxim that success in the government's action depends on how accurate is the vision in the implementation of the reforms. So far, what has been made public, reduces the reforms to fighting bureaucracy; lessening the regulatory burden on the economy, good governance; rationalizing public services; reducing corruption to the problem of dishonest individuals or "rotten apples" working in the public sector. We know very well that corruption in Albania is institutional and even systemic. We cannot turn a blind eye to the unfortunate fact that many politicians or heads of state institutions turn out to be extremely rich.
First, we need to start by analyzing how and why these people are able to act for personal gain, and to stay afloat after every attempt to reform the society and the state. How can Albania afford to have the same elite, responsible for the prolonged transition, which has made rule of law and market based economy a mockery?
How was it possible that state licenses, administrative authorizations, and public procurement have created a 'black market" for official favors and "rents".
The government approach can be criticized based on questionable assumptions and none of them are adequate for understanding the complexity of the relationships involved on substantial reforms.
The aim of the reforms should be to move the terrain on which the politics are fought from the economy to the realm of ideology and state institutions which are constrained by the rule of law.
Our society should be able again to distinguish between the public and the private sector. But to achieve this goal it is indispensable that every politician or state official must "disgorge" his ill-gotten profits from corruption. The government should set-up an agency whose primary duty is the recovering of all the public assets seized by corruption. In other words, destroying the false power, prestige and symbolic authority of the political and state cleptocracy.
Are political priorities slowing down the pace of the judicial reforms?
It has been widely recognized that one major historical failure of the Albanians is that they created their state belatedly, and since its creation, the Albanian state has suffered from authoritarianism and poor functionality. Some even assert that it has never been a western democracy. Skepticism over the feasibility and success of the administrative and judicial reforms, with their goal of resolving current problems of the Albanian citizens and transforming the society to make it more democratic and more economically successful, is embedded in a realistic appraisal of the shortcomings of our recent and distant history. Thus, even if we assume the full prestige and power of the current government to proceed with the course of pro-western reforms, we should be cautious, because the success of the reforms does not depend entirely on the government, but it relates to the entire Albanian society and political landscape.
"The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities".
The Greek official continued to remind the Albanian officials that alleged violation of Greek minority rights in Himara might have consequences for Albania accession to EU. In fact, there are no Greek minorities in Himara. The population Kammenos is referring to are Albanians who speak Greek or work in Greece as immigrants.
Kommenos expressed his concerns about Albania's foreign policy and mentioned that by taking an extremist approach in regional politics might impede a good relationship with the southern neighbors.
"We don't fear anyone, may they have military power or not. We want our neighbors to not be led by extremists, but by moderate leaders who can create a climate of security and develop the region", Kammenos said.
Ordinary Albanians will be hit hard with an increase in taxes for the next four years, at least.
Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama has revealed some of the fiscal priorities to the new cabinet. The tax plan resembles a conservative (budget) plan with the focus on the wealthy. During the first meeting of the new cabinet, Edi Rama mentioned that there will be changes in the "wealth distribution".
The educated professionals will see an increase of 3% (monthly) on their taxes, whereas the number of those benefiting from a decrease in taxes is much smaller than the rest of the working force. Unlike a traditional, socialist cabinet, Rama 2 fiscal policy resembles that of a right wing cabinet prioritizing the business, the entrepreneurs, the corporate. The government will be smaller than the previous one, meaning fewer programs, services and specific allocation of funds for the corporate.
In the next four years, the government's fiscal policy will ease the tax burden for the two wealthiest populations: the business, and individuals making over 130 thousand (lek) a month. The proposed tax plan had two significant changes. First, the fiscal plan yields a decrease in taxes aimed at 15% for the corporate dividends, and secondly, a decrease in their taxed income (salary) up to 23%. This bracket will not affect the majority of employees and workers.
The budget and planning are yet to be revealed in the next coming months, but since the country has no formal industry or agriculture its budget will lean heavily on the taxes collected from the citizen.
Three years have past since the events broke out in the central bank of the Republic of Albania, starting by a report made public on the website of the institution itself about a theft that had taken place on its vault premises by two of its own employees, sparking a wave of indignation in the albanian public and a wave of criticism in the media, followed by criminal investigations which brought under arrest 19 of its employees, including officials of the highest ranks. In every state which considers itself serious enough to deal with issues from a standpoint of national interest, such events, taking place at the very heart of its economic and financial system, would set in motion a thorough parliamentary investigation, in order to see and understand the root causes of the problems, driven by the purpose of preventing the contingency that they will repeat itself in the future.
Unfortunately, that was not the case in Albania, a member country of NATO and an aspiring country candidate to the European Union. After some "posing" in the parliamentary Commission of economic and financial affairs, in a "personal show-down" between the Chairman of this commission and the former-Governor, the gist of the matter was covered-up and no serious or substantial examination of the internal governance of the institution occurred.
Today we are left with a nice irony to see that the only innocent person coming out from the criminal proceedings is the former-Governor, who dominated according to his will the institution for almost nine years. The other prosecuted employees were found guilty, including the former Chief Excecutive Auditor, in an absurd and irrational judicial verdict, probably unprecedented in international law, where an auditor faces criminal charges for failing to prevent a theft.
The situation sounds strange enough, targeting the auditor, as the institution had in place fully-fledged security, administrative and accounting internal control systems, with numerous personnel in charge of that duty. In practical terms the former Governor received only one "punishment", he was sacked from the position he held, because he opted to give financial support to the former opposition Goverment of Mr.Berisha, in a quid pro quo unfair transaction of sale of "Dajti" hotel, situated in a historical site of Tirana, the capital of Albania, violating the fundamental principle of prohibition of monetary financing in a dishonest deal to gain his second term in office. As nobody in Albania cared about opening a public and principled debate on this blatant and gross violation of the principle of prohibition of monetary financing, this amounts to an offence to the albanian people and its fragile democratic institutions by its ruling political elite.
The way the supervisory board of the Bank of Albania dealt with the events was disappointing too.Instead of analysing the risk factors that brought the institution on the brink of collapse, they astonishingly and curiously proclaimed their collaboration with the judicial authorities, as if the Albanian Constitution or the Code of Criminal Procedure was giving them legal authority to conduct criminal investigations and produce criminal evidence(!!).With their irresponsible conduct and lack of transparency, the members of the Supervisory Board, appeared to be the 'real culprits" of the disastrous internal governance of the Bank of Albania.
The Audit Committee was set up only after the events, in a hypocritical act, an attempt to avoid and twist their responsibilities. Its constitution had been a repeated request on the "deaf ears" of the supervisory Council members by the IMF and the former-Chief Internal Auditors, the leaving the Albania the last country in the region with its central bank having an Audit Committee. Thus the members of the Supervisory Board failed to met the standards of their fiduciary duties and loyalty to the public interest, because If the Audit Committee would have been constituted in due time, the fraud would have been avoided. Thus it seems logical and fair that the members of the Supervisory Board should take their due for their negligence, and be hel jointly liable for the unfortunate event, instead of the "carpenters", "electricians" or "plumbers" who were charged with malfeasance in public office in the ensuing the criminal proceedings.
Furthermore media, the public opinion and a few politicians expressed outrage for a theft that was held to be an ordinary event, but they remained silent on serious allegations of abuses with internal public procurement procedures and embezzlement of public funds, surmounting the sum to be reported as stolen from the vault.The institution remains nowadays a "nest of cronyism", almost all of its employees are relatives to people who have a political profile or influential businessmen, in a regrettable institutional situation, unmatched even in the most backward corners of the world.
The Government and the opposition have declared a pact of constitutional reforms, expected to run its course after the political elections and the constitution of the new government. Meanwhile a reform of governmental agencies and departments is taking place in an ongoing effort to make the albanian public administration less corrupt and more efficient.It remains true that the central bank enjoys administrative autonomy from the government, but the political majority has the national responsibility and the constitutional obligation to restore the lacking democratic legitimacy of the Bank of Albania, which has been ruined in the eyes of the public.The events of 2014 corroborated the fact that Bank of Albania has never been an independent institution, instead it has been dependent from both camps of the albanian politics. Things have not taken a positive stand since the encumbent governor has taken the office, being a man of a low proffessional standing and unknown to the public and academia before former President Nishani picked his name and proposed him as the new Governor. It is readily apparent that the current governor, with an obscure provenience as an executive in a commercial private bank, is not able to escape the entangled web of murky interests that link the financial system with the political elite.The Albanians should become the masters of their fragile democracy and financial interests, but this can not happen until and unless Bank of Albania ceases to be the "backyard of the albanian politics".
The Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs: What does it mean for the future Albanian and U.S. relations!
The newly elected Albania's Prime Minister serving his second term as the head of the government has materialized the cabinet by adding a few departments. The fall is expected to be full of surprises. The "Rama 2"administration has structurally revamped the framework and the strategies of the new state agencies and departments (Ministries) before it starts the second term. Two ministries that cover the foreign and international relations were added: The Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and the Ministry for Diaspora (Albanians working and living outside of the country). The rationale behind the structural changes raises eyebrows and questions Albania's foreign policies.
The overhaul does not consist in the name change only, the Prime Minister Rama has merged two governmental departments into one. The formerly known as the Ministry for Integration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have join "forces" solving quite a few political issues. Some of the issues have to do with cleaning house from the Social Movement for Integration and symbolically attaching the country to Europe. However, this is a matter of perception. Since Albania is seventy percent populated by Muslims, the integration in Europe will remain a dream. Topping the corruption and drug trafficking, the move will not yield any results.
Nevertheless, United States has played a crucial role in the Balkans's stability for the last twenty years. But what does the new name mean for the U.S. Albanian relations. Different sources say that the relations between Prime Minister Rama and Washington have gone sour in the last year. Now that the inclusion in Europe has become a cry for help and the chances of integration have drastically decreased Prime Minister Rama is showing divided loyalties and perhaps a weak political move that will be a blow in the future relations between U.S and Albania.
On the verge of the Muslim Holiday, Eid, the public opinion has turned a debate into an open conflict which might have critical consequences if it is not kept under control. Muslim clerics during a ceremony put a screen which partially blocked the view of the national hero's statue in the capital city of Tirana main square. The act did not sit well with the public, and has sparked fierce reactions.
Albania was an atheist country during the dictatorial period where religious beliefs were punishable by law. After the democratic changes took place in 1990 and based on the constitutional amendments, religious practice became legal. Shortly after, the three dominant religions Islam, Catholic and Greek Orthodox sent their missionaries to open up churches and mosques in order to serve the people.
The Albanian Constitution clearly states that Albania does not have an official religion. Yet, in the last 26 years the religious rhetoric has been the center of the public debate on holidays, exhibiting low religious tolerance, totally the opposite of what the Albanian government officials sustain. The Islamic radicals already have strong holds in Kosovo, and many young men are fighting aside the terrorists groups in Syria. This is very problematic not only for Kosovo, but for Albania as well.
Until now, religious rhetoric has been all about the image, and the symbolism. The Muslim clergy in the midst of the debate has added fuel to the fire by segregating the Albanian people based on their religious affiliation. Despite the peaceful coexistence rhetoric, Muslin Clergy has entirely bypassed the Albanian people by violating their national symbols.
On the other hand, the orthodox clergy plays the political game of the southern neighbors by associating and identifying the Albanian orthodox population as Greek. The same scenario applies to the Catholic clergy who identifies with the Vatican.
In conclusion, the Albanian state has remained neutral and aloof completely ignoring the individual freedom clause by bypassing the institutional secularism of the Albanian Constitution. Under the same constitution, religious subjects can administer their own property and are not allowed to use public (places) squares for religious services and purposes. This is a fiasco that can have detrimental consequences in the future if the state fails to handle it properly.


This is taken from the 1964 version of the Roman Ritual. The Directory on Popular Piety mentions this blessing.
The blessing of a bonfire may seem somewhat extraordinary. Nevertheless, the ceremony is one of the most ancient blessings, just as the cult of the Baptist is very ancient in Catholic hagiolatry. For centuries people of Christian countries have kept a solemn vigil for the festival of John the Baptist's birth. In the darkness of the night preceding the feast, a bonfire would flare up before the church edifice, in the market-place, on hill, in valley. John gave testimony of the true light which shineth in the darkness. He was the light-bearer before Christ, although he proclaimed in utter humility and self-abnegation: "he must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). But the Master also spoke in highest praise of His Precursor: "I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist" (Luke 7:28). Attuned to the mind of the Master, early Christians quickly cultivated with enthusiasm a special veneration of this saint — their enthusiasm and love enkindling within them a justifiable conviviality at the approach of his day. The custom of the St. John bonfires, indicative of a people with burning and childlike faith, continues in some places to this day.
Lord God, almighty Father, the light that never fails and the source of all light, sanctify + this new fire, and grant that after the darkness of this life we may come unsullied to you who are light eternal; through Christ our Lord.
All: Whose name was John.
Let us pray. God, who by reason of the birth of blessed John have made this day praiseworthy, give your people the grace of spiritual joy, and keep the hearts of your faithful fixed on the way that leads to everlasting salvation; through Christ our Lord. All: Amen.

How to Get a Patent
What Can Be Patented
Strengths of Trademarks
Selecting a Trademark
Fort Lauderdale Patent Attorney
Patent law is derived from the U.S. Constitution and is regulated by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
What is a patent?
A patent confers the right to exclude others from making, using or selling an invention for a set period of time. Basically, a patent protects others from usurping your invention. Patent rights are territorial, which means they can only be enforced in the country that issued the patent. Thus, a patent issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office only prevents people from making, using or selling the patented invention in the United States (this includes imports into the U.S.). Likewise, a patent issued by the U.S. will not be enforced in other countries. The only way to protect an invention in a particular country is to apply for a patent in that country.
What can be patented?
One type of patent is a utility patent, which is available for new, non-obvious and useful inventions related to:
A process;
A machine;
An article of manufacture (i.e., a simple object made by human or machine);
A composition of matter (i.e., a chemical compound); or
An improvement upon a process, machine, article of manufacture or composition of matter.
There are two other types of patents: plant and design. A design patent may protect the ornamental design of an article of manufacture, while a plant patent may protect asexually produced plant varieties.
In addition to the requirements listed above, the invention must also be adequately described and enabled such that a person with ordinary skill could make or use it. Furthermore, the inventor must claim the invention in clear and definite terms. Only the inventor may apply for patent protection of his or her invention.
What cannot be patented?
Only the categories listed above may be patented. Here are several examples of things that do not fall under these categories:
Abstract ideas;
Laws of nature;
Literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works (which might be eligible for copyright protection instead); and
Physical phenomena.
The invention is not eligible for patent protection if it offends public morality.
How long does a patent last?
The time period for utility and plant patents typically begins on the day the patent is granted and ends 20 years from the date the inventor first applied. Note that the term of a utility patent is also contingent on the payment of maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date the patent is granted. (Plant and design patents do not carry maintenance fees.)
How do I get a patent for my invention?
In order to get a patent in the United States, you must file an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The process can take several years, but it can be expedited in certain cases. Before going through the time and expense of filing an application you should make sure that the invention meets the legal requirements, including novelty and usefulness.

Traffic Stop turned into Felony Arrests
Riviera Beach Police recently arrested two people after a simple traffic stop turned into a low-speed chase.
A male driver allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign. When police attempted to pull him over, he continued driving, running several more stop signs and making an improper U-Turn. The driver then allegedly came to a stop, jumped out of the car, and attempted to run from the police. The Riviera Beach police tased the driver and handcuffed him. The police discovered that the driver's license was suspended. While they were placing him under arrest, a woman (presumably the passenger) jumped into the driver's seat and drove off in the car while pointing and laughing at the officers. The police officers had to chase the woman, eventually stopping her and placing her under arrest as well.
After being examined by medics as a result of the tasing, the man was taken to the Palm Beach County Jail and charged with fleeing and eluding, resisting arrest with violence, and driving with a suspended license. The man has since been released on $13,000 bond. The woman was also taken to the Palm Beach County Jail and was charged with aiding prisoner escape, evidence tampering, and failure to obey a law enforcement command. She remains in Palm Beach County Jail.
Interestingly, an incident that could possible have remained a simple traffic stop for failing to stop at a stop sign, resulting in a traffic ticket or potentially a misdemeanor for driving on a suspended license, turned into a felony case as a result of the actions of the driver (and passenger). Instead of facing a misdemeanor for driving with a suspended license, punishable by up to 60 days in county jail for a first conviction, the felony charges the two arrestees are now facing are as follows:
1) Fleeing and Eluding: Fleeing and eluding is codified under Florida Statute 316.1935, which makes it illegal for a driver to continue driving after being ordered to stop by a police officer. It is a third degree felony in Florida to flee from or elude the police, and is punishable by up to five years in Florida State prison, in addition to driver's license suspension, vehicle forfeiture, and an adjudication of guilt, meaning that the driver would be a convicted felon.
2) Resisting With Violence: Resisting arrest with violence is codified under Florida Statute 843.01, which makes it illegal for a person to resist an officer by doing violence to the officer. It is a third degree felony in Florida to resist a police officer with violence, punishable by up to five years in Florida State Prison.
3) Aiding Escape: Aiding prisoner escape is codified under Florida State 843.12, which state that it is illegal for a person to knowingly assist a person in escaping or attempting to escape a police officer. Aiding prisoner escape is a third degree felony, punishable by up to five years in Florida State Prison.
4) Tampering with Evidence: Tampering evidence is also a third degree felony, found under Florida Statute 918.13, and is punishable by up to five years in Florida State Prison.
It is easy to see that traffic stops have the potential of turning into a giant mess if the person being stopped attempts to flee. Running from the police only makes the situation much worse, and felony charges are serious and have serious potential consequences in the State of Florida. That is why it is important for anyone who is being pulled over for a traffic stop to stay calm, obey orders, and understand the law as well as his or her rights.

Florida Marijuana Laws
There has been a lot of confusion in the general public regarding Florida's marijuana laws in light of the new "Charlotte's Web" legislation. The State of Florida has recently legalized the very limited use of medical marijuana, which must be prescribed by a doctor and must only be in the form of cannabis oil. Additionally, there is an amendment pending on Florida's November ballot, Amendment 2, would allow for much broader medical use of marijuana. However, recreational possession and use of marijuana is still illegal in the State of Florida.
As discussed in my prior article, Marijuana in Florida, the new Florida Medical Marijuana law does not authorize the private use or growing of marijuana. The State of Florida, including the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office, is still heavily prosecuting marijuana crimes. Smoking marijuana and possession of marijuana are still considered first degree misdemeanors in the State of Florida under Florida Statute 893.13 and are punishable by up to 1 year in county jail if the possession was under 20 grams. Further, a conviction for marijuana possession will result in a 1-year driver's license suspension. Possession of drug paraphernalia is also a first degree misdemeanor in the State of Florida, punishable by up to one year in county jail. That means that possession of water pipes, bongs, roach clips, and other objects used for ingesting or inhaling cannabis, hashish, and hashish oil is illegal. Florida Statute 893.145 provides the full list of unlawful drug paraphernalia.
Marijuana charges are serious, and can have severe consequences in the State of Florida. If you are facing marijuana charges, contact a knowledgeable attorney who can review your case and help guide you through the system.

Maddy's 3rd Annual Children's Book Drive is THIS SUNDAY!!!
Mark your calendars for Maddy's 3rd Annual Children's Book Drive!
In memory and celebration of Maddy's 7th Birthday, please join us by donating a gently used or new children's book. All books will go to various children's charities. All children and their families are welcome. It wouldn't be a party without them, and Maddy always loved a good party!
Maddy was a beautiful and vivacious little girl who drowned shortly before her fourth birthday. Her parents Bill and Vanessa are two of my hero's. They get up every day and live life to the fullest extent possible in memory of this beautiful little angel of a girl. Each year in honor of Maddy's birthday, a children's book drive is held with the sole purpose of trying to get a book into the hands of every child regardless of their circumstances. All of the books are donated to different charities and organizations depending on their need. Maddy loved books and reading! She was very fortunate to have access to as many books as she could get her hands on in the short time that she was here. Join us in celebration of Maddy's birthday and help make reading a possibility for all children. If you can't make the event you can mail books to the address listed above to help make a difference in a child's life.
Last year a little over 2,700 books were collected. Can we help make it 3,500 this year?


Creative ruts are the worst, but they always happen. If you've been carrying a camera for any length of time, you've undoubtedly found yourself completely uninspired by your surroundings. You might try to force the issue and go out and take photos in spite of your lack of creativity, but that might just push you deeper into the doldrums.
Instead, you need to find inspiration in new places, and doing so means that you need to expand your boundaries and remove some of the limits you've placed on yourself.
We naturally like routine. It's comfortable and familiar, and helps us stay on task and accomplish what needs to be accomplished in a given day.
The problem with routine, however, is that it can be an enemy to creativity. After awhile, the same commute to work each day, the same walk in the park at lunch, and visiting the same pond each evening as you walk the dog become less an opportunity to take interesting photos and more rote repetition of something that just needs to get done.
Breaking out of that routine might be all you need to jumpstart your creativity. Take a different route to work. Spend your lunch watching people on the street. Get up early and catch a sunrise. Take portraits of your friend's kids. Just do something out of the ordinary and see how it might inspire you to do something different with your camera and lens.
Closely related to the idea of breaking your routine is the concept of getting uncomfortable with your photography. It's simple, really: if you traditionally take portraits, try landscapes for awhile; if you usually photograph landscapes, give wildlife photography a try; if you are most comfortable taking portraits of friends and family, head to the street and try photographing strangers.
You can also get uncomfortable by making alternative choices when it comes to gear and composition. Take portraits with a wide-angle lens or landscapes with a telephoto lens. Challenge yourself to hand hold your camera even when conditions might call for a tripod. Try using a slow shutter technique. Frame shots from unique perspectives, such as from up high or down low to the ground.
The point is that if you put yourself in uncomfortable situations, you'll have to rely on your photography talents and know-how to make the most of those situations. By proxy, you'll have to be creative in how you approach these situations, which might be just what you need to get your photography mojo back in order.
Although photography is an artform, there are a lot of technical aspects to it as well. There are the mechanics of your camera and lens, the science behind exposure, and all the rules of composition that, when used together properly, can result in breathtaking images.
The problem is that if you focus too much on the technical side of things, and spend too much time worrying about whether or not you are doing things the "right" way, you can easily lose your creative touch. When faced with a dynamic scene, approaching it with the coldness of getting everything technically right might mean that you miss out on capturing the spontaneity or the emotion of the moment.
The ebb and flow of creativity and inspiration is just a natural part of creating art. Some days you will be oozing inspiration and have trouble finding enough time to create all the photos you want to create. Other days, you won't take a single photo that you like and find that you lack any inspiration at all. But simply breaking out of your routine, challenging yourself with new photographic pursuits, and focusing less on the technical aspects of photography and more on simply being in the moment are three easy ways to try to kickstart your creative juices. If you're in a rut, give one (or all!) of these methods a try and see where they take you!
As noted in this lesson, creative ruts are just part of ebb and flow of photography. Though the recommendations we've outlined here are a good start for finding your inspiration again, a more in-depth reading to consider is The Creative Fight by Chris Orwig. In the book, Orwig discusses the difficulties of the creative process, and dives into easily implemented methods you can employ to be inspired, regain your creativity, and find meaning in the work you do once again.
The Creative Fight would be a solid addition to your library that you can reference over and over again to get back to the pinnacle of your creativity when inspiration seems to elude you. With chapter-based exercises designed to help you put concepts into action, The Creative Fight is the ideal tool for regaining your inspiration.


Surly there has to be a technical problem some where , does no body want to be my friend .
It looks like I have had 6 visitors , but no friends .
Admin please check to see if there's a technical glitch some where , as I'm convinced that there must have been a steady stream of enthusiastic forum members wanting to become my friend . I never had this problem on the other forums who took legal action against me or the one's I was eventually thrown off . And seeing the '' Your friends list is empty '' notice is very stressful to a sensitive person like my self.
This situation may trigger a medical condition I'm currently taking medication for .

Geneva – IOM, the UN Migration Agency, reports that 16,089 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea in 2018 through 8 April, with the vast majority arriving in Italy and the rest in Spain, Greece, and Cyprus. This compares with 33,355 arrivals across the region through the same period last year.
IOM Rome's Flavio Di Giacomo said Monday (09/04) that only one rescue operation was carried out over the weekend: the Italian Coast Guard rescued one small boat carrying a total of 104 migrants – all Tunisians – off the coast of Lampedusa.
Di Giacomo added that, according to Ministry of Interior figures, 6,894 migrants arrived by sea to Italy this year: nearly 74.37 per cent less than the same period last year, when 26,902 migrant men, women and children were brought to Italy after being rescued in the waters north of Africa.
However, despite fewer arrivals registered in Italy this year, the number of dead and missing in the Mediterranean Sea on the Central Route – although lower in absolute numbers (359 in 2018 versus 745 in 2017) – has increased relative to the number of arrivals by 75 per cent.
This figure shows that the humanitarian emergency in the Mediterranean continues to remain a dramatic reality and that saving lives at sea is still the number one priority.
IOM Spain's Ana Dodevska reported that 3,460 men, women and children have arrived in Spain across the Western Mediterranean in 2018, through 8 April.
Worldwide, IOM's Missing Migrants Project (MMP) has recorded 876 deaths and disappearances during migration in 2018. In the Mediterranean alone, 521 migrants are estimated to have died this year. The remains of four migrants have been recovered in the Western Mediterranean in the past 10 days.
On 6 April, the remains of a man washed up on a beach near Tarifa, Spain – authorities believe that he wasn't one of the missing migrants from the shipwreck on 1 April, as the body appeared to have been in the water for weeks or even months. Additionally, three bodies were recovered during the first weekend of April in Algeria's north-western province of Ain Témouchent: on 31 March, the body of a migrant washed up on Plage Sbiaat; on 1 April, another body was retrieved in Iles Habibas; while on 2 April, the remains of a migrant were found 6 nautical miles off Port of Bouzedjar.
On 9 April there were reports of a shipwreck off the coast of Morocco, 20 kilometres south the coast of Tangiers. There are believed to be ten survivors and six who died in this incident. It should be noted that these deaths will be recorded by MMP once further information is confirmed about this incident.
There were two other additions to the Missing Migrants Project database since last Friday's update. In Ceuta, Spain's enclave in northern Africa, a 16-year-old boy was run over in the port area on 6 April, as he was trying to cling to the undercarriage of a truck waiting to board a ferry bound for mainland Spain. On the US/Mexico border, the remains of an 18-year-old boy who drowned in the Río Bravo on 18 March were repatriated to his hometown in Nicaragua.
Additionally, MMP received reports of the deaths of at least five Rohingya in the Andaman Sea last week. Survivors had been stranded for weeks in their boat and were rescued by Indonesian fishermen and brought to Aceh. IOM staff is gathering survivors' testimonies to confirm the number of those who did not survive the journey.
