If I stay on track for the rest of the week, I might *actually* have a loss for the first time in over a month! Which is pretty exciting. I've been working hard this week and I guess it shows. I mean, I've been keeping track of everything for the last few weeks but overindulging in food a little and not exercising a lot. I fell off of my running schedule so I'm trying to get back to that [I went running on Tuesday, and I'm going to go just after finishing this]. I've also been walking a lot. So I'm getting back into the swing of things, but right now I feel like I'm running alongside the wagon instead of actually being on it. I think the final piece is getting back into the social aspect of sparkpeople, so... here I am!
I started volunteering at my local library, Tuesday was my first day and it was so much fun! I had a 20 minute walk there [and back] plus I was on my feet all afternoon [I got put in charge of circulation! Just two hours into my first shift!]. That'll be nice for exercise, and also to keep me from holing up in my house for the entire winter. And maybe I'll actually meet people from the city and make some friends! The director is a total dork and even though I started out really shy, he got me laughing pretty quickly and then I was fairly comfortable. And the children's librarian is a cat lover and also a geek [she knows loads of Star Wars trivia, and wizard rock!] so that's awesome. The other woman [who was training me] didn't seem to have much of a personality at all but... eh. And there was another guy who was there for a couple hours and started chatting with me before he left, but I was still feeling shy at that point so I didn't really get to know him. But still. That's more people than I'd met all year!
My aunt said a while back that I could have her treadclimber but never got around to disassembling it and bringing it over. Well, she called me up today and said that she was taking it apart at that very moment and would be bringing it by today or tomorrow [she called later to confirm it would be tomorrow]. Yay! I'm so excited! I can't wait to try this out, because this is something I'd never even *heard* of until she mentioned it. Apparently the speed doesn't go up high enough for running [only up to 4 or 4.5mph, depending on the model] but it'll be good for reading while working out [or watching tv], and getting exercise in during the winter. There might even be a way to set it up to do computer things while walking on it, like a treadmill desk, I'll have to see. So I'm really excited about that!
I'm a *bit* worried about how much space it'll take up in my exercise room, especially with regards to having enough space to do my workout DVDs, but I'll deal with that when it happens. After all, I set up the exercise room with this machine specifically in mind so I'll make it work somehow.
I did some other blogging yesterday. My friend asked about a month ago how I started running [because she knew that it was a long process for me before I actually started *running*] so I wrote up a [long, rambling] blog post about that for her. It's posted on my other blog: fuchsiagetsfit.blogspot.
unner.html She said she's been really inspired by my story and this will be helpful when she finally feels ready to start. She'll have my support whenever that happens. I've also sent her more specific tips about getting started with exercise in general [since she's adverse to exercise at all] so maybe she'll find a good starting point that works for her.
Ummm, yeah. I know I've mostly just written about the past few days but honestly, there's not much to say about the "missing weeks" before that. I wasn't doing much of anything, one way or another, in terms of fitness. I wasn't horrendously off plan [except that day I made homemade jelly-filled donuts and then at them all, but I more than paid for that in stomach pains] but I wasn't amazingly on plan either. Just kind of floating on. But now I'm back and I swear it's for real this time.
Time to go get ready for a run! It's perfect weather, too, sunny and 60 degrees. I better take advantage of this while it lasts.
What wonderful news! You got a lot of good things going on in your life, and you started all of these good things!
It is okay to run alongside the wagon by the way. You will be on it before you know it, or perhaps you are already there.
Glad you're back and it sounds like you are having a great week! The people at the library sound really interesting...it's great you are able to volunteer like that. Definitely get out, run, and enjoy the weather!

Construction of Europe's largest rooftop farm begins
The groundbreaking ceremony of UrbanFarmers' 1.200 sqm rooftop greenhouse in the Hague will take place next week, 14th September. The rooftop farm will be the largest commercial urban farm in Europe. Construction is due to begin in September 2015 with completion in January 2016. The first fish and vegetables will be sold in April 2016, with the farm planned to be open to visitors and tours from February 2016.
The project is realized by collaboration between UrbanFarmers AG, a private investor and Stimuleringsfonds Volkshuisvesting (SVn: the Dutch Municipalities' Housing Development Fund). SVn utilizes JESSICA funds made available by the European Regional Development Program "Opportunities for West" for economic stimulation in The Hague. The equity and loan to secure financing for UF002 De Schilde is expected from the Fonds voor Ruimte en Economie Den Haag (Fund for Location and Economy The Hague).
UF002 De Schilde is located at a signature building of The Hague; the former Philips telecommunication building constructed by the grandfather of Rem Koolhaas. The classic building on Televiesiestraat 2 currently lies mostly vacant and will now be re-purposed into a multi-story urban farming enterprise. Dubbed the "Times Square of Urban Farming" ("hotspot for urban farming" in Dutch), the building will span two floors and use the UF System for the sustainable production of fish and vegetables. The UF Consortium partners, UrbanFarmers AG, Priva BV, Koppert Biological Systems and Rijk Zwaan, have been supportive from the outset, and continue to work diligently together to build the urban farm on the rooftop and 6th floor of the
The urban farm will be the first project to be realized following the "Stadslandbouw Initiative" campaign by the Municipality of The Hague. "Repurposing this signature building is a next step towards realizing alternative means of sustainable fish and vegetable production. Commercial and sustainable urban agriculture will help to reduce pressure on our oceans and improve the supply chain by bringing ultra-fresh,
safe produce as close to the point of consumption as possible, minimizing waste. We are excited to be paving the way for more sustainable and commercially viable urban farms." (Mark Durno, Managing Director of UrbanFarmers Benelux).
UF De Schilde will house Europe's largest commercial urban food production facility, covering a 1.200 sqm rooftop greenhouse for specialty vegetables, a 370 sqm indoor fish farm and 250 sqm of integrated processing and packaging. The farm will also dedicate 250 sqm exclusively for events and tours.

2. The diversity of data, beggars, results in the reproduction of the diverse own-impacts.
5. And what, beggars, are the diverse own-impacts that come to be as the result of the diversity of data?
mind data results in the reproduction of own-mind-impact.
Such then, beggars, are the diverse own-impacts that come to be as the result of the diverse data.
 Samphassa. SAM = Own, with, con; PHASSA = touch, con-tact. PED: [saŋ+phassa] contact, reaction. My somewhat awkword "own-" is to overcome the general bypassing of this aspect of the idea expressed in this term by our common use of the word contact, that is, that bound up in the idea is the notion of self, ownership.
 Paṭicca. PATI = rebound, bounce, percuss, result. As in PED following, meaning to return upon, double back upon. PED: Paṭi (indecl.) [Ved, prati, to Idg. *preti as in Latin pretium (from *pretios) "price" (cp. precious), i.e. equivalent; Gr. pre/s (aeol.), proti/, pro/s against] directional prefix in well-defined meaning of "back (to), against, towards, in opposition to, opposite." As preposition (with acc. and usually postponed) towards, near by, at; usually spelt pati. PATICCA = rebounded-stuff; PATI+ CCA = k-kha, but always of a living being with the 6 senses, usually just 'human': PED: grounded on, on account of, concerning, because.
 Uppajjati. UP = Up (go figure); PA = pass; JATI = birth (jump, burn this, this burns): Up pa birth; up-pass-born; appearance, arising, re-production, production.
 Note the difference between this and the statement in the first sutta. This correctly follows the Pali and is necessary for the following suttas to have been recorded correctly. Additionally the first category 'eye data', etc. can encompass (stand in for) the other two categories: "form data, eye-consciousness data".

\\ home \ Streetcar Named Desire, A:
Published in 1946, A Streetcar Named Desire reflects the cultural tensions that pervaded the nation after the horrors of World War II, when an idealistic and ambitious American nation attempted to prove its superiority and its power to the global community by attempting to - and succeeding in - squashing the threat of Nazi Germany. Millions of Americans lost their lives in an effort that left Germany powerless in the hands of America and the other Allied forces. When A Streetcar Named Desire came out, the country had just emerged from the war after battling through the Great Depression of the 1930's, and suddenly the national spotlight focused on the middle and lower classes as the true bearers of the heroic American spirit. Young men who had served in the war returned to their families and were ready to settle down - with wives, with children, and with steady jobs. The nation had suffered through a terrible war, and it was ready to embrace the "old-fashioned" values of family and home. Stanley has just come back from the war as a decorated soldier, and after proving his masculinity on the battlefield, he is ready to assert his manhood within the home. Consequently, the theme of pure, almost savage masculinity that is so ripe in A Streetcar Named Desire is one that filled America after the war - an air of bravado and victory following its defeat of the Nazi threat.
This focus on the middle and lower classes was popular throughout much of the literature of the 1930's and 1940's. During the Great Depression, the entire nation suffered from extremely high unemployment and interest rates, and millions of Americans found themselves buried in deep debt. The upper classes were scorned by the impoverished masses, who saw the wealthy elite as indifferent to and even contemptuous of their daily financial struggles. Consequently, many American writers during and after the 1930's chose to focus on the brave individual stories of those who were members of the lower and middle classes, believing that their strong work ethic and their ambitions characterized them as true Americans.
The men in this play represent the everyday American that society championed after the Depression: hard-working men who were proud of themselves because of the work that they had accomplished with their own hands - they weren't trust-fund babies who had been fed with silver spoons. Being a member of the working class was "cool" because these blue-collar workers were the antithesis of the indifferent and uncaring aristocrats who just didn't seem to care about anyone else but themselves.
For example, the play takes place in an area of New Orleans named Elysian Fields, which refers to the place that ancient Greeks believed served as a home for the dead. After victorious soldiers died in battle, they went to Elysian Fields for eternity, to celebrate their lives, their courage, and their accomplishments. So too have Stanley Kowalski and his friends returned to Elysian Fields after the war, coming back to the States as successful and hopeful soldiers ready to make a name for themselves on their home soil.
A Streetcar Named Desire also champions a certain nostalgia for the old Southern charm that had been replaced during the 1940's by an air of industry and efficiency that had taken over the country after the Great Depression. After the war, the country experienced one of the biggest economic booms in history - with the return of soldiers came an increase both in the production and in the consumption of goods, and the economy soon soared after the end of the war. Consequently, you could say that America experienced a second Industrial Revolution after World War II. This revolution effectively killed the mystical charm of the Old South, where aristocracy and chivalry reigned. Women in the South seemed to possess an intangible charm that could enchant any man, and men prided themselves on their manners and a mysterious code of conduct that valued honor rather than industriousness. The ongoing power struggle between Blanche and Stanley thus reflects the battle between old Southern values and new industrial efficiency.

Beachbum makes his own spin flies and I believe he sells them too. The flies he makes are pretty good, do pm him for info.
Ok, then is there any shops which sells highland fly products?
Not sure the exact fly you're looking for, but have you tried Coho. They're probably the longest fly fishing shop in Singapore.
I make my own fly but I didn't sell them. It is ping, you can contact him instead.
and in you-tubes, there should be many fly tying videos .Although need that special clamp to hold the hook. My flies are crude ones so I didn't use clamps.
My apologies BeachBum, I got mixed up with you and Ping.
Manfred cher YY, if you want to make a simple fly, I've just uploaded an experimental video at Tall Tale Tavern section. It may be a bit off-topic as you are looking for where to buy fishing fly.

The influence of my mother was important, too, because she was very interested in promoting my... my future career. And she was... unlike my father, she was a very positive person. She had been bright when she was a girl and passed her high school courses with very good grades, but when I knew her she seemed to know very little. I don't quite understand how that happened, it may have been the result of some mental aberration, because she did show some, later on, some symptoms of mental illness, and this ignorance or even occasional stupidity may have been... connected with that, because... from every indication she was quite bright when she was a girl. But what was very positive about her was that she liked me and believed in me, and... wanted me to have a great career some day. And so she pursued various things, but particularly trying to get me into a private school with a full scholarship, because my father's language school started to fail just when I was born. The... stock market crash came a few weeks after I was born. The very drastic immigration law went into effect at the same... about the same time, and... both of those ended up seriously threatening the school that my father ran, the school of languages, so that within a few years the income had fallen virtually to zero. And it wasn't until 1933 that he got his job in a bank, which he kept until he retired. Very... it was a job at a very low salary. So we had very little money and I could go to a private school only if I had a full scholarship. Well she didn't succeed somehow, she dragged me to one school after another and I took lots of tests – I never knew what was going on, but... but finally a music teacher... had some... connection with somebody who had a connection with the Columbia Grammar School... or Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School if you want to use the longer name. And... in 1937 I got in there with a full scholarship, and they put me in the sixth grade so that I was... three years younger than most of the other students. And I stayed there until I graduated from high school. I stayed for seven years: 1937 to 1944. And... it was when I was admitted there that we moved back to Manhattan, in fact just across the street from the school.
New York-born physicist Murray Gell-Mann (1929-2019) was known for his creation of the eightfold way, an ordering system for subatomic particles, comparable to the periodic table. His discovery of the omega-minus particle filled a gap in the system, brought the theory wide acceptance and led to Gell-Mann's winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1969.
Title: My mother liked me and believed in me
Listeners: Geoffrey West
Geoffrey West is a Staff Member, Fellow, and Program Manager for High Energy Physics at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is also a member of The Santa Fe Institute. He is a native of England and was educated at Cambridge University (B.A. 1961). He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1966 followed by post-doctoral appointments at Cornell and Harvard Universities. He returned to Stanford as a faculty member in 1970. He left to build and lead the Theoretical High Energy Physics Group at Los Alamos. He has numerous scientific publications including the editing of three books. His primary interest has been in fundamental questions in Physics, especially those concerning the elementary particles and their interactions. His long-term fascination in general scaling phenomena grew out of his work on scaling in quantum chromodynamics and the unification of all forces of nature. In 1996 this evolved into the highly productive collaboration with James Brown and Brian Enquist on the origin of allometric scaling laws in biology and the development of realistic quantitative models that analyse the influence of size on the structural and functional design of organisms.

Q: How is the @Me TFS query variable derived? Does anyone know exactly how this value is derived?
For half our team it seems to be "FistName.LastName".  For the other half it is "FirstName LastName"...
I thought I would be able to find this out in five seconds of googling but all I can find are vague statements that say "the current user" or "the current users alias".
The MSDN article about query variables here describes it as being the current users alias but I have no idea what that means....

A: When running a query in Visual Studio, TFS is building an SQL query for it. If you run SQL Server Profiler on the Tfs_DefaultCollection database you should notice a similar query:
exec sp_executesql N'set nocount on
declare @PersonId as int
declare @rebuildOK as int
declare @PersonName as nvarchar(255)declare @userSid as nvarchar(256)
set @userSid=@P1
exec @rebuildOK=dbo.RebuildCallersViews @PersonId output,@P1
if @rebuildOK<>0 return
DECLARE @AsOfUtc DATETIME; SET @AsOfUtc=@P2
DECLARE @Ids TABLE (Id INT NOT NULL)
INSERT INTO @Ids SELECT X.ID FROM (
SELECT @P3 AS ID
UNION ALL
SELECT @P4 AS ID
) as X

join  dbo.[WorkItemsLatestUsed] RL
on X.ID = RL.[System.Id]
where RL.[System.AreaID] not in
(
    select V.BelowID
    from dbo.[GetInverseUserPermissions](@userSid,1) V
)
option (loop join)

SELECT I.[System.Id],I.[System.Rev],I.[System.AreaId],I.[System.IterationId],I.[System.WorkItemType],I.[System.AssignedTo]
FROM @Ids Ids
JOIN [dbo].[WorkItemsAsOf] I with (nolock)
ON I.[System.Id] = Ids.[Id]
    AND I.[System.ChangedDate] <= @AsOfUtc
    AND @AsOfUtc < I.[System.RevisedDate]
OPTION (LOOP JOIN)
set nocount off
',N'@P1 nvarchar(4000),@P2 datetime,@P3 int,@P4 int',@P1=N'S-1-5-21-3698201826-3150490006-716737659-1107',@P2='2012-03-24 19:48:09.707',@P3=1266,@P4=1587

Note the use of dbo.RebuildCallersViews stored procedure which in turn serves the @userSid variable and ultimately the temporary I.[System.AssignedTo] column. Stored procedures in TFS database are protected so I couldn't decipher what's going beyond that.

"His Royal Highness The Prince Philip was a committed public servant who believed in duty, standards in public life and civic pride. These ideals are as important now as they have ever been. He will be remembered for his tremendous support to Her Majesty The Queen and we join with the nation in mourning his death."

Ghosts of Old Companions : Lloyd George's Welsh Army, the Kaiser's Reichsheer and the Battle for Mametz Wood, 1914-1916
The 38th (Welsh) Division was formed from the many thousands of Welsh volunteers in late 1914 and 1915 as part of Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener's New Armies - a force for the long war that he was the first to recognise. It was to be ready for battle in 1917. The Division subsequently carried out its training in Britain and embarked for France where it served numerous tours of frontline duty until summer 1916.
Mametz Wood village and the area around Fricourt village saw one of the few successes by the British Army on the notorious First Day of the Somme. BEF C-in-C Sir Douglas Haig decided to reinforce that success and attack again around Fricourt in order to seize the German second defence line at its closest point between Longueval and Bazentin. General Sir Henry Rawlinson, whose Fourth Army was to undertake the task, had little option but to assault the German positions frontally.
He decided to do so between the Mametz Wood on the left and Trones Wood on the right. Initial attacks by other divisions on the night of 4/5 July resulted in the capture of preliminary objectives. The task of clearing the dense and seemingly impenetrable Mametz Wood was assigned to the newly-arrived 38th Division.
What followed was a searing seven-day ordeal in dense undergrowth which, despite subsequent success, resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and the tarnishing of military reputations. Much reduced by casualties, 38th Division was relegated to the reserve with losses of between one-third and a half of its recorded fighting strength. As well as examining the story of 38th Division from its formation until the close of the Mametz Wood fighting, this volume also explores the German point of view by utilisation of published regimental histories and personal accounts from the Lehr Regiment; Guard- Fusiliers; 9th Grenadiers; 122nd Wurttemberg Regiment; and the 77th, 163rd, 183rd, and 184th infantry regiments.
It also reveals new material concerning the forces involved, the almost forgotten 1915 Christmas Truce, Mametz Wood defences and the casualties killed, wounded and missing sustained by both sides.

However, dance was different. It required more than endurance, but memory and deep concentration. I needed to learn the dictates of a new instructor, complex moves and routines. Enthusiasm quickly became frustration, self-flagellation and ultimately worry about aging. I kept losing my place during the routine and although they had been working on it for weeks I expected to pick it up right away.
Why couldn't I 'keep up' in this new class after describing myself as a dancer for most of my life?
I left feeling small, tired, beaten… the activity I loved no longer felt accessible.
I waited. I licked my wounds and returned the following week for the start of a new routine.
This time, I was a beginner in a class of beginners. After the warm up we went through step after excruciating step, repeating every movement. Although there were people surpassing me, everyone was learning together for the first time.
We all stumbled, felt unsure and frustrated…none of us were really dancing yet. We were still 'learning' (counting steps, counting counts, following the structure, barely hearing the music above the process going through our minds).
A few weeks into that new routine, I was really dancing. No longer agonizing over the routine, but letting my mind and body go, enjoying the music, adding my own style and feeling incredibly free…the dance-bliss I was looking for!
I realize now, that somehow, my childhood self really knew what would feed my soul and make me whole for life.
In the years after college, as I added more complexity to my schedule and my mind, the activities that defined my youth fell away one by one. Much like the dolls, stuffed animals and other 'trappings'; I 'put away' dance, creative writing, singing, making music and art. I pushed them 'aside' with the hope that 'someday when I had time' I'd return to them.
Decades after taking my first class, with a stern silver-haired ballerina, I feel confident and more grounded with each new routine.
Have you returned to any childhood loves? I'd love to hear about it, leave a comment!

Evictions: Labour claims "stark rise" in homeless since ban lifted
A senior Labour politician in the capital claims that there's been "a stark rise" in people losing their homes since the ending of the final eviction ban in June.
Sam Moema, a member of the London Assembly and the senior housing spokesperson in the capital, says that from April to June 2021 there were 172 landlord repossessions per 100,000 households in London, which increased to 1,302 per 100,000 from July to September.
Now the Assembly is urging the government to provide additional funds to support renters in arrears as a result of the pandemic.
The motion passed by the Assembly was proposed by Moema, who says "Since the government ended the ban on residential evictions in May 2021, there has been a stark rise in the number of Londoners losing their homes.
"With the costs of living increasing, the end to the furlough scheme and the removal of the Universal Credit uplift, I am concerned that the situation could get even worse.
"Right now, the government should provide more support for private renters to prevent a surge in homelessness this winter. This includes pushing through with the Renters' Reform Bill and increasing the size of the funding pot currently in place to help the almost one million people who have fallen into rent arrears.
"I am also urging the Mayor to engage with organisations representing landlords and private renters in London to discuss how we can avoid an evictions crisis".
The full text of the motion is:
This Assembly expresses its concern at the increase of private renters facing eviction in London.
The mortgage and landlord possession statistics published by the Ministry of Justice in November 2021 show that there has been a stark increase in landlord possessions in London since the Government ended the eviction ban on the 31 May 2021. In quarter two (April to June 2021) there were 172 landlord repossessions per 100,000 households which increased to 1,302 per 100,000 in quarter three (July to September 2021).
Landlord possession claims are concentrated in London and London boroughs account for 7 of the 10 local authorities with the highest rate of landlord possession claims. Newham had the highest rate (154 per 100,000 households).
Furthermore, London local authorities account for 4 of the 10 boroughs with the highest rate of landlord repossessions between July and September. For example, Enfield saw 87 evictions, up from 8 in April to June. Similarly, Redbridge went from 1 to 61, Bromley had 39, up from 3 and Hillingdon had 52, up from 9.
This Assembly is concerned that these figures could continue to rise as the cost of living surged by 4.2% in the 12 months to October, the highest rate in almost 10 years. Moreover, forecasters believe that the high inflation figures are not a one-off and are expected to rise through to April to around 5%, and then to stay above the Bank of England 2% target for the remainder of 2022.
This Assembly believes that the combination of ending the eviction ban without providing sufficient support for renters who had built up arrears as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the end of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, the sharp increase in the cost of living and the removal of the £20 per week Universal Credit uplift, have contributed to a perfect storm for Londoners at risk of homelessness.
This Assembly calls on the Chair of the Assembly to write to the Government and express the London Assembly's concern over the ending of financial support to Londoners, despite ongoing difficulties due to the pandemic. Furthermore, this Assembly calls on the Chair to urge the Government to provide the additional funds required to support renters in arrears as a result of the pandemic, as highlighted by landlord and homelessness organisations.
This Assembly also calls on the Mayor to make representations to the Government and urge them to produce the necessary support to private renters as the cost of living continues to increase over the winter, and to engage with organisations representing landlords and private renters in London, to discuss measures needed to prevent increased homelessness this winter.

Don't pay, we'll take you away....well, the bailiffs will....in 9 to 12 months or so.
Fedup Landlord
Are these politicians thick? It is as if you have a dripping tap and you put your finger under it to stop it leaking. Eventually you have to take your finger away and surprise, surprise, a lot of water spurts out. Repossessions were paused, not cancelled, so of course once they resumed a lot of people would be repossessed. Why should taxpayers fund non-payers?
Max Boyne
They're not thick, just self interested. Common sense and what is best for society has nothing to do with it. Playing politics to further their position is what it is ALWAYS about.
As for tax payers.... who else is going to fund non payers? If you're waiting for society to be fair, you'll have a long wait.
THe politicians arent thick, they want to monster landlords to draw attention away from illegal mmigration which is placing great strain on all of Britains resources.
jeremy clarke
Again, unless I am missing something, no figures on council/housing association/social housing, always the assumption that all repossessions are by private landlords?
The vast majority are. It's ridiculously difficult to get evicted from social housing. You can run up arrears of tens of thousands, behave anti-socially, smash the place up... if you know the system and how to play it, the councils will 'work with you to resolve the issues'.

MONTREUX, Switzerland (Reuters Life!) - Senegalese superstar Youssou N'Dour wants to explore reggae more with new songs on his next album after paying homage to Jamaican singer Bob Marley on his most recent release, Dakar-Kingston.
The venture is a departure in musical form for N'Dour, who drove the development of mbalax, a frenetic popular music powered by complex Senegalese drum rhythms, with his band Super Etoile de Dakar.
N'Dour interpreted existing songs like 'Medina' and 'Africa Dream Again' in a reggae style on Dakar-Kingston, released earlier this year, with arrangements and production by Tyrone Downie, a member of Marley's band, the Wailers.
N'Dour and Super Etoile played a two-hour set of reggae and racing mbalax numbers that had the audience dancing from beginning to end in Montreux's main hall on Friday night.
The concert included a reggae version of "Seven Seconds," a top 10 hit across Europe for U.N. goodwill ambassador N'Dour and Neneh Cherry in 1994.
N'Dour now wants to forge a stronger bond between the mainly Jamaican recording band used on the Dakar-Kingston and Super Etoile to explore the relationship between reggae and African music more deeply.
"My thinking now is what is the real connection between the two bands, between Super Etoile and reggae music. It's going to be maybe more African," said the calm and respectful N'Dour, leaning forward slightly in his wicker chair to emphasize his words, hands clasped in front of him.

Pappendorf ist ein Ortsteil der Gemeinde Striegistal im Landkreis Mittelsachsen im Freistaat Sachsen. Der Ort mit seinem Ortsteil Kaltofen schloss sich am 1. Januar 1994 mit drei weiteren Orten zur Gemeinde Striegistal zusammen, die wiederum am 1. Juli 2008 um die Gemeinde Tiefenbach erweitert wurde.

Geographische Lage

Geographie und Verkehr
Pappendorf liegt im Süden der Gemeinde Striegistal im Tal der Großen Striegis. Nördlich von Pappendorf befindet sich die zum Ort gehörige Siedlung Höpperich verläuft die Bundesautobahn 4 mit der Anschlussstelle 74 "Berbersdorf". Die Entfernung zur Landeshauptstadt Dresden beträgt ca. 40 km, nach Chemnitz sind es etwa 30 km. Leipzig erreicht man über die A 14 nach ungefähr 100 km.

Nachbarorte

Geschichte
Pappendorf wurde in der Zeit zwischen dem Machtantritt von Markgraf Otto von Wettin im Jahr 1156 und der Stiftung des Klosters Altzella im Jahr 1162 gegründet. Der Ort lag innerhalb des Stiftungsgebietes an dessen Westgrenze. Die erste indirekte urkundliche Erwähnung von Pappendorf stammt aus dem Jahr 1230. Dabei geht es um einen Prozess des Klosters Altzella gegen einen Bürger von Freiberg. Als Zeuge wird ein Dithmar villicus de Poppendorf genannt Es ist anzunehmen, dass es sich um den Erbrichter von Pappendorf handelt.

In der Vergangenheit wurde der Begriff villicus falsch, als Verwalter eines Klosterhofes interpretiert. Neuere Erkenntnisse und. zeigen aber, dass es für Pappendorf keinen Nachweis für einen Klosterhof gibt. Nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann, dass ein Einzelgut zeitweise vom Kloster bewirtschaftet wurde. Große wirtschaftliche Bedeutung wird es nicht gehabt haben. Die Behauptung, dass aus einem Klosterhof nach der Reformation das Erblehngericht entstand entbehrt jeder Grundlage, denn bereits mehr als 100 Jahre vor der Reformation gibt es urkundliche Nachweise eines Erbrichters in Pappendorf.

Nach der Reformation und der damit einhergehenden Säkularisation des Klosters Altzella war Pappendorf Amtsdorf im kursächsischen bzw. königlich-sächsischen Amt Nossen, zu welchem es bis 1856 gehörte. Ab 1856 gehörte Pappendorf zum Gerichtsamt Hainichen und ab 1875 zur Amtshauptmannschaft Döbeln, welche 1939 in Landkreis Döbeln umbenannt wurde.

Mit der zweiten Kreisreform in der DDR 1952 wurde die Gemeinde Pappendorf dem neu gegründeten Kreis Hainichen im Bezirk Chemnitz (1953 in Bezirk Karl-Marx-Stadt umbenannt) angegliedert. Am 1. Januar 1974 erfolgte die Eingemeindung von Kaltofen nach Pappendorf. Ab 1990 gehörte die Gemeinde Pappendorf zum sächsischen Landkreis Hainichen, der 1994 im Landkreis Mittweida und 2008 im Landkreis Mittelsachsen aufging.

Am 1. Januar 1994 schloss sich die Gemeinde Pappendorf mit dem Ortsteil Kaltofen mit den Gemeinden Goßberg, Mobendorf und Berbersdorf (mit Schmalbach) zur Gemeinde Striegistal zusammen. Diese vereinigte sich wiederum am 1. Juli 2008 mit der Gemeinde Tiefenbach zur neuen Gemeinde Striegistal.

Urkundlich belegte Schreibweisen des Ortsnamens
In Akten und Urkunden sind folgende Schreibweise des Ortsnamens Pappendorf überliefert:

 1230 Poppendorf
 1377 Popindorf
 1414 Puppendorf
 1428 Papindorff
 1436 Poppendorff
 1447/48 Poppindorf
 1495/1555 Pappendorff
 1791 Pappdorf

Der Ortsname geht auf die Lallform Poppo eines Personennamens zurück, die zu Bodobert, Robert und anderen Namen gehören kann. Pappendorf ist das Dorf eines Poppo. So oder ähnlich wird der Vorsteher der Siedlergemeinde geheißen haben. Wahrscheinlich war er der erste Erbrichter. Der in der Regionalliteratur vielfach genannte Zusammenhang mit dem niederdeutschen Wort pape (Pope) Pfaffe ist eher unzutreffend. Damit gehört ein Zusammenhang der Namensbildung mit dem Kloster als Grundherr in das Reich der Legende.

Kultur

Religion und Kirchengeschichte
Pappendorf ist Kirchort. Zur Parochie Pappendorf gehörten zunächst die Dörfer Berbersdorf, Mobendorf, Kaltofen, Goßberg, Riechberg und Ottendorf. Die hier im 12. Jahrhundert siedelnden Menschen waren wie zu dieser Epoche üblich streng gläubig, ein Leben ohne Kirche war undenkbar. Es ist anzunehmen, dass Berbersdorf, Mobendorf, Pappendorf und Riechberg gleichzeitig von einem einzigen Lokator gegründet wurden. Wie damals üblich, werden sich diese bäuerlichen Gemeinden geeinigt haben, eine Kirche etwa im Zentrum der Territorien zu errichten. Riechberg lag etwas weiter weg; es wurde nach der Reformation im Jahr 1539/40 nach Bockendorf umgepfarrt, Ottendorf ging im Jahr 1875 zur viel näher liegenden Kirchgemeinde nach Hainichen, die wahrscheinlich wenig später als die von Pappendorf entstand.

Bildung
Als Kirchort war Pappendorf auch Schulort für die eingepfarrten Gemeinden. Es ist nicht ausgeschlossen, dass bereits vor der Reformation hier eine Schule bestand. Erste Hinweise auf die Existenz einer Schule in Pappendorf finden sich in den Kirchenbüchern des 16. Jahrhunderts.

Persönlichkeiten

Söhne und Töchter des Ortes
 David Schirmer (* 1623 in Pappendorf, † 1686 in Dresden), Lyriker der Barockzeit
 Julius Kell (* 2. Mai 1813 in Pappendorf, † 28. Mai 1849 in Dresden), Pädagoge, Landtagsabgeordneter und Sachbuchautor.

Persönlichkeiten, die vor Ort gelebt haben
 Johann Gottfried Stecher (* 17. Juli 1718 in Ehrenberg; † 17. Dezember 1776 in Penig) war ein Tischler und Bildhauer.

Tourismus
Im Gemeindeteil gibt es eine Gaststätte und ein kleines Naturbad.
Pappendorf wird von der Großen Striegis durchflossen und ist Ausgangspunkt für mehrere Rundwanderwege im Landschaftsschutzgebiet Striegistäler. Am Beginn der gut ausgeschilderten Wege stehen Parkplätze zur Verfügung.

Sehenswürdigkeiten

Pfarrkirche St. Wenzel

Title IX Screwed the US in the Olympics
Social Engineering through the Dialectical Process...
Patriarchy Reasserted: Part II
Patriarchy Reasserted: Part I
20 Years of Rush on the Radio
Social Engineering through the Dialectical Process
This post is a brief departure from my review and fisking of "Patriarchy Reasserted." I will be covering the rest of the paper the rest of this week, but I do want to point out that an anonymous commenter wrote on Part I:
Here is the danger in this nonsense. Other 'researchers' will get on the band wagon, and they will quote her as an expert in their own papers.
Then, more.
And, each will also be quoted as an expert.
Soon, there will be a mountain of so-called evidence, all showing that...
BINGO! That's EXACTLY how Informational Cascades are started and built up to create a false sense of crisis to implement another step in the dialectical process of re-engineering society.
And the re-engineering of society is EXACTLY what is going on.
When I first began to delve extensively into the history of the feminist movement and trying to ascertain it's true purpose, I came across several sources that analyze how the social engineers that sought to change society to suit their agenda and implement their machinations.
The primary means was using the dialectical process, first described by German political philosopher, Hegel. Hegel's writings served as one of the primary sources and influences on Engels and Marx as they developed their communist ideology.
The dialectical process can be illustrated by a simple equation: Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis
Translated into layman's terms, the social engineers use a variety of means to build and/or support opposing movements with stated goals in opposition to each other to give the illusion of conflict when the synthesis or compromise is the actual desired result.
The desired result produces another problem in which their are once again a thesis and antithesis used to address the "new" problem until the next synthesis generates the next problem. Through this process, the Hegelian Dialectical process is able to slowly but inexorably change the fundamental nature of society, foment the gender wars and create the social havoc and dysfunction that characterize our modern age -- all with the ultimate goal of creating a one world, collectivist government of corporatist power brokers ruling the rest of us...the "Proletariat" as prophesied by Orwell.
Captain Zarmband's latest entry at his blog perfectly illustrates the dialectical process in action.
The Labour government blames world economic factors for our country's woes and claims there's nothing they can do except weather the storm. This is complete tosh of course and much of the damage is a direct result of Labour's policies. When they first came to power their main agenda was to ensure that they did not again experience eighteen years in opposition. With this in mind, Labour indulged in a massive campaign of social engineering with the intention of making more Britons dependent on big government.
They did this mainly in two ways;
1. By creating a government dependent underclass who rely on state benefits for their income. This group will always vote Labour because it's in their interests to vote for a government that increases state benefits. The main targeted group was and still is single mothers. Labour has done all it can to destroy the traditional family and encourage women to live on their own, dependent on social security. At the same time fathers are milked of cash by way of CSA payments and increased taxes. The result has been an explosion in the numbers of single mothers on benefit with all the attended social problems this causes.
2. The creation of huge amounts of government bureaucracy. This means that more people now work for the government than at any time in history. Indeed, more than half of Britons rely on the government for most of their income. I've said before that this is Marxism by the back door. Again, this means more Labour voters as people who work for the government tend to vote Labour, the very party that created their worthless jobs in the first place. Most of these jobs are unproductive and many involve countless numbers of camera watchers, litter monitors and people counting lamp posts.
The result of all this is simple. More voters for Labour paid for by the taxpayer and by massive public borrowing - Britain has the highest public sector borrowing rate in the Western world. All this took place while the economy boomed which meant lots of tax revenue for the government. But instead of saving this bonanza of cash for a rainy day, Labour's spent the lot and more in the ways listed above and borrowed massively into the bargain. Unfortunately, the economy is now slipping into recession which means that the tax bonanza has stopped and the Treasury now has fewer tax pounds landing in its lap. Government spending on the other hand is increasing as more people sign on the dole and all those single mothers and government bureacrates still need paying. So it's a double whammy for the Treasury - more money going out and less tax money coming in.
See, The Labour party used the process to perfection (just as it has been used in the US and most other "first world" nations).
Thesis = Single Mothers Need Tax Payer Help to Raise Their Children.
Anti-thesis = The Father Should be the Main Supporter of his Offspring, not the Tax Payer.
Synthesis = Father's become wage slaves in the Tax Payer funded system or they become criminal "deadbeats."
See how that works?
And of course, the ultimate reality of this "synthesis?" All of the attendant pathologies and familial and social dysfunction that is the hallmark of the fatherless household lends itself to all sorts of new 'thesis' and 'anti-thesis.' It is the primary mechanism to such un-constitutional actions like the "war on drugs." And the "war on poverty." And a whole other host of ills that plague our modern world...many of which could be ameliorated if the role of the Father were restored to it's proper social and legal standing, and a universal code of conduct backed up by a strong social stigma of shame where re-instituted in mainstream consciousness. But that goes against the desire for the government to further it's own power and continue to breed dependence amongst the masses. Thus, the process continues to keep addressing the supposed "problems" manifest in each new synthesis, while the root causes are ignored so that the end-goal moves ever closer to reality.
Once you understand exactly how the Hegelian Dialectical process has been and continues to be implemented, you will have your eyes opened to just how far the social engineers of the power elite have come in re-shaping society into their version of Utopia...which happens to be We the People's version of dystopia.
Needless to say, by observing just how far along society has been engineered by this process, I am not optimistic about Western Civilization's future.

A truly CLASSIC example of an informational cascade, would be Susan Brownmiller's "only 2% of rape accusations are false" -- a "fact" pulled out of thin air, or more likely pulled out of some place more nasty! :(
This immortal feminist lie has had more lives than a barrel of wildcats!

Eight Architectural Styles For Design-Savvy Travelers
Much like art and fashion, architecture is rarely one-size-fits-all. Some people favor modern looks, while others lean toward rustic or brick exteriors—and often a region, like the Southwest or New England Coast, has its own signature style when it comes to home design. With more than 25,000 professionally managed properties, Vacasa has a vacation rental designed to suit every type of traveler, whether you're ready to roadtrip now or simply saving for the future. In honor of World Architecture Day, they pulled together eight vacation homes across the U.S. that reflect iconic architectural styles.
Pile of Bricks in Seattle, Washington
Ranging from storybook cottages to English manors, Tudors come in many shapes and sizes, but are noted for their steeply pitched roofs, tall windows, and exterior stonework. As the style made its way stateside, it found popularity in the northern half of the U.S., largely because of the snow-prone climate. So it's no surprise to find a romantic brick home in the Pacific Northwest, like this three-bedroom beauty with a bonus loft and crow's nest. White walls and added windows balance the traditionally dark finishes of a Tudor home, adding warmth for those sometimes gray Seattle days.
Modern Ocean Drive Condo in the Heart of Sobe in Miami Beach, Florida
Welcome to Miami, where the urban oasis of South Beach, or "SoBe" as it's known to locals, is rife with Art Deco facades. The highly stylized art form is known for its rounded edges and geometric patterns, which are abundant on this bold, two-bedroom condo. But there's even more to love within the eye-catching exterior, where you'll discover a rooftop pool with ocean views and a bright, airy living space that beams in Florida's famous sunshine.
Lilac Victorian in Eureka, California
Before clean lines became the trend, Victorian architecture reigned supreme—and inspired a generation of dollhouses. While Victorian design emcompasses a variety of overlapping styles, they share common traits that make it easy to spot, like bay windows and ornate detailing. Enter this purple-hued gem, tucked in Northern California's Redwood Coast. With split levels and a thoughtfully restored interior, this historic vacation home also has a prime location one block from Old Town Eureka's crown jewel: Carson Mansion.
The Bird House in Taos, New Mexico
Adobe-style homes—and their modern counterpart, Pueblo Revival—are mostly found in the Southwest, where Spanish building concepts were met with local materials and styles of Native American tribes. The key elements are on full display in this restored 1920s villa, featuring earthen walls, stone floors, and vigas, or wood-beamed ceilings. Nestled in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, this colorful vacation rental is also a short drive from the Taos Pueblo, an adobe community dating back 1,000 years.
Dazzling Desert Villa in Palm Springs, California
You can blame Mad Men, but it's a craze for good reason. Mid-century modern, loosely defined as design from the mid-20th century, is known for its minimalist lines, flat planes, and large windows that feed into open floor plans. Repeated instances of mid-century modern line the streets of Palm Springs, a city that was literally shaped by mid-century modernist architects. The floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors at this desert paradise create an indoor-outdoor feel that's classic mid-century, as is the neutral palette with pops of color. You may lose track of time, or even the decade, when vacationing here.
Private Franconia Log Cabin in Franconia, New Hampshire
There's something inherently cozy about a log cabin, isn't there? Though "log home" construction originated out of function rather than aesthetics, it remains a popular way to blend architecture into a home's natural surroundings. Take this oh-so-cozy four-bedroom cabin, which features a traditional framework of interlocking logs and is set on five acres of blissfully serene private property. The only dilemma will be choosing a favorite spot to unwind: on the wraparound deck, in the hot tub, or in front of the wood-burning fireplace.
Contemporary Maine Retreat in Bethel, Maine
Contemporary architecture takes many forms, but often features unconventional and expressive design, so it's a "you know it when you see it" situation. The renegade style is also known for its asymmetry and open floor plans, as seen in this Maine masterpiece. The spacious vacation rental sleeps 10 and effortlessly blends the high design of its sleek interior with a family-friendly layout. And though technology is another key feature of contemporary builds, access to the Androscoggin River and two ski resorts lets you be as plugged in, or unplugged, as you like.
Eleven Alliance in Nantucket, Massachusetts
Cape Cod homes are quiet charmers, with little pomp and circumstance.

The shooting of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy (June 25, 2002 – November 23, 2014), occurred on November 22, 2014, in Cleveland, Ohio. Two police officers, 26-year-old Timothy Loehmann and 46-year-old Frank Garmback, responded after receiving a police dispatch call of a black male that "keeps pulling a gun out of his pants and pointing it at people".[3][4][5] A caller reported that a male was pointing "a pistol" at random people in the Cudell Recreation Center. At the beginning of the call and again in the middle he says of the pistol "it's probably fake".[6] Toward the end of the two-minute call, the caller stated "he is probably a juvenile".[7] However, this information was not relayed to Loehmann or Garmback on the initial dispatch.[8][9] The officers reported that upon their arrival, they both continuously yelled "show me your hands" through the open patrol car window. Loehmann further claimed that instead of showing his hands, it appeared as if Rice was trying to draw: "I knew it was a gun and I knew it was coming out".[10][11][12] In response, the officer shot twice, hitting Rice once in the torso.[4][13] He died on the following day.[14]
Rice's gun was later found to be an airsoft replica that lacked the orange safety feature marking it as a toy and not a true firearm.[15][16]
A surveillance video of the incident was released by police four days later, on November 26.[17] On June 3, 2015, the County Sheriff's Office released a statement in which they declared their investigation to be completed and that they had turned their findings over to the county prosecutor. Several months later, the prosecution presented evidence to a grand jury, which declined to indict primarily on the basis that Rice was drawing what appears to be an actual firearm from his waist as the police arrived.[11][18][19] A lawsuit brought against the city of Cleveland by Rice's family was subsequently settled for $6 million in an effort to reduce taxpayer liabilities.[1]
In the aftermath of the shooting, it was revealed that Loehmann, in his previous job as a police officer in the Cleveland suburb of Independence, had been deemed an emotionally unstable recruit and unfit for duty.[20] Loehmann did not disclose this fact on his application to join the Cleveland police,[21] and Cleveland police never reviewed his previous personnel file before hiring him.[20] In 2017, following an investigation, Loehmann was fired for withholding this information on his application.[21]
The incident received national and international coverage, in part due to the time of its occurrence, coming shortly after the police shootings of several other black males.

Shooting A photograph of Tamir Rice
A 9-1-1 caller, who was sitting in a nearby gazebo, reported that someone, possibly a juvenile, was pointing "a pistol" at random people in the Cudell Recreation Center. The caller twice said that the gun was "probably fake".[22] According to police spokesmen, it was initially unclear whether or not that information had been relayed to the dispatched officers, Loehmann and Garmback, and it was later revealed that the dispatcher had not elaborated beyond referencing "a gun".[15][23] According to one report, the 9-1-1 responder twice asked whether the boy was black or white[24] before dispatching officers to the park at around 3:30 p.m.[22] The actual recording of the phone call reveals that the 9-1-1 responder asked whether the boy was black or white three times; however, the question was repeated only after the caller continued describing the color of Rice's clothing.[25] The caller then left the gazebo, and Rice sat down in it sometime later.[23]
According to information reported to the press on the day of the shooting by Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association President Jeffrey Follmer, " pulled into the parking lot and saw a few people sitting underneath a pavilion next to the center. saw a black gun sitting on the table, and he saw the boy pick up the gun and put it in his waistband."[26] Also on that date, Cleveland Deputy Chief Tomba stated, "The officer got out of the car and told the boy to put his hands up. The boy reached into his waistband, pulled out the gun and fired two shots." According to Chief Tomba, "the child did not threaten the officer verbally or physically."[15][16][26] On November 26, the day a video of the shooting was released, Chief Tomba is quoted as saying, "Loehmann shouted from the car three times at Tamir to show his hands as he approached the car."[4] The entire incident happened in less than two seconds.[27] The officers later found that the gun was an Airsoft gun which had had its orange safety tip removed. These weapons are actual size replicas of real guns, designed to shoot non-lethal plastic pellets.
Rice died the day after the shooting at MetroHealth Medical Center. The medical examiner clarified the cause of death as being a gunshot wound to the torso, with injuries to major vessels, intestines, and the pelvis.[14] The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office autopsy says Rice was 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) and weighed 195 pounds (88 kg).[28]
A surveillance video without audio of the shooting was released by police on November 26 after pressure from the public and Rice's family.[17] It showed Rice pacing around the park, occasionally extending his right arm. The video briefly shows Rice talking on a cellphone, and sitting at a picnic table in a gazebo. A patrol car moves at high speed across the park lawn and then stops abruptly by the gazebo. Rice reaches for his waist band before Loehmann jumps out of the car and immediately shoots Rice from a distance of less than 10 feet (3.0 m).[22][23][29] According to Judge Ronald B. Adrine in a judgement entry on the case "this court is still thunderstruck by how quickly this event turned deadly.... On the video the zone car containing Patrol Officers Loehmann and Garmback is still in the process of stopping when Rice is shot."[12]
Neither Loehmann nor Garmback administered any first aid to Rice after the shooting.[30] Almost four minutes later, a police detective and an agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the latter of whom was working a bank robbery detail nearby, arrived on the scene and treated the boy. Three minutes after that, paramedics arrived and took him to MetroHealth Medical Center.[31][32][33]
Rice's mother said that the toy gun had been given to him to play with by a friend minutes before the police arrived, that police tackled and put her 14-year-old daughter in handcuffs after the incident, and that police threatened her with arrest if she did not calm down after being told about her son's shooting.[34]
A second video obtained by the Northeast Ohio Media Group and released on January 7, 2015, shows Rice's 14-year-old sister being forced to the ground, handcuffed and placed in a patrol car after she ran toward her brother about two minutes after the shooting. It also shows that police waited for four minutes before providing any first aid to Rice.[35]
Police officers involved
In the aftermath of the shooting, media outlets reported on the background of the police officers involved. Both officers were placed on paid administrative leave.[36]
On December 28, 2015, the grand jury returned its decision declining to indict the police officers.[37]
Timothy Loehmann
Loehmann, the officer who fired the shots that killed Rice, joined Cleveland's police force in March 2014. In 2012, he had spent five months with the police department in Independence, about 13 miles (21 km) south of Cleveland, with four of those months spent in the police academy.
In a memo to Independence's human resources manager, released by the city in the aftermath of the shooting, Independence deputy police chief Jim Polak wrote that Loehmann had resigned rather than face certain termination due to concerns that he lacked the emotional stability to be a police officer. Polak said that Loehmann was unable to follow "basic functions as instructed" and specifically cited a "dangerous loss of composure" that occurred in a weapons training exercise. Polak said that Loehmann's weapons handling was "dismal" and he became visibly "distracted and weepy" as a result of relationship problems. The memo concluded, "Individually, these events would not be considered major situations, but when taken together they show a pattern of a lack of maturity, indiscretion and not following instructions, I do not believe time, nor training, will be able to change or correct these deficiencies." It was subsequently revealed that Cleveland police officials never reviewed Loehmann's personnel file from Independence prior to hiring him.[20][38]
On May 30, 2017, the mayor of Cleveland announced that Loehmann had been fired for concealing details about his past employment in his job application. On his application, Loehmann said that he had left the Independence Police Department for "personal reasons" and did not reveal the Independence police's determination that he had "an inability to emotionally function" as an officer.[21]
Frank Garmback
Garmback, who was driving the police cruiser, has been a police officer in Cleveland since 2008. In 2014, the City of Cleveland paid US$100,000 to settle an excessive force lawsuit brought against him by a local woman; according to her lawsuit, Garmback "rushed and placed her in a chokehold, tackled her to the ground, twisted her wrist and began hitting her body" and "such reckless, wanton and willful excessive use of force proximately caused bodily injury". The woman had called the police to report a car blocking her driveway.[39] The settlement does not appear in Garmback's personnel file.[40]
Aftermath Investigation
The Cleveland Police Department received statements from both Loehmann and Garmback. They announced they were looking for additional witnesses to the shooting, including a man who was recorded walking with Rice in the park before the shooting. Their results would be presented to a grand jury for possible charges.[33]
On January 1, 2015, the Associated Press reported that Cleveland police department officials were looking for an outside agency to investigate the Rice shooting, as well as handle all future investigations related to deadly use-of-force incidents.[41]
On May 15, Mother Jones magazine reported that, six months after the shooting, while the sheriff's department announced that it had almost concluded its investigation of the shooting, neither of the two officers involved had yet been interviewed by investigators from the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office. It also reported that as of that time Frank Garmback, the officer who drove the police car, was not under criminal investigation.[42]
On June 3, the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office released a statement in which they declared their investigation to be completed and that they turned their findings over to prosecutor Tim McGinty, who was expected to review the report and decide whether to present evidence to a grand jury.[19] In response to a petition from citizens, on June 11 Municipal Court Judge Ronald Adrine agreed that "Officer Timothy Loehmann should be charged with several crimes, the most serious of them being murder but also including involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, negligent homicide and dereliction of duty." Judge Adrine also found probable cause to charge Officer Frank Garmback with negligent homicide and dereliction of duty. Because Ohio judges lack the legal authority to issue arrest warrants in such cases, his opinion was forwarded to city prosecutors and Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty who, as of that date, had not yet come to a decision on whether to present the evidence to a grand jury.[43]
On June 13, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty released a redacted 224-page report of the investigation.[44] The report included interviews with at least 27 people, including teachers, friends, and the person that called 911. Loehmann and Garmback declined to be interviewed.[45] Contradicting statements made by police that Loehmann shouted "show your hands" three times before firing, the report included accounts from several witnesses who did not hear officers issue any verbal warning to Rice.[46]
Grand jury investigation and decision
On October 10, the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office released two reports that McGinty had sought from outside experts about the use of force, one by retired FBI agent Kimberly Crawford, a second by Colorado prosecutor S. Lamar Sims; both reports concluded that the shooting of Tamir Rice was reasonable under the circumstances. However, amid accusations from lawyers representing the Rice family that McGinty had deliberately chosen Crawford and Sims because of their "pro-police bias" in order to cover for Loehmann and Garmback, McGinty convened a grand jury to consider whether or not criminal charges should be brought against the officers.[47]
On December 28, McGinty reported that the grand jury had decided not to indict Loehmann or Garmback, saying, "Given this perfect storm of human error, mistakes, and communications by all involved that day, the evidence did not indicate criminal conduct by police." The announcement prompted Rice's mother to release a statement accusing McGinty of mishandling the investigation, stating in part, "Prosecutor McGinty deliberately sabotaged the case, never advocating for my son, and acting instead like the police officers' defense attorney."[48]
Three expert witnesses who testified before the grand jury criticized the prosecutors' behavior during the grand jury. Roger Clark, a retired LASD officer with expertise in police shootings, said that prosecutors at the hearing treated him with hostility and "disdain" for concluding that Loehmann and Garmback had acted recklessly; he also described the prosecutors' as using theatrics, like none he'd ever seen in previous grand jury proceedings, which he believed were intended to lead the grand jurors to the conclusion that the prosecutors wanted them to reach. Jeffrey Noble, another retired police officer and expert in use-of-force cases (who had himself used deadly force on the job), said he was attacked by prosecutors for saying that the officers never should have escalated the situation by rushing Rice, adding, "I've definitely never seen two prosecutors play defense attorney so well." And Jesse Wobrock, a biomechanics expert hired by the Rice family's lawyers, also described the prosecutors as "acting in a way like they were defense attorneys for the cops," and as having attacked him professionally for his testimony regarding the timing and significance of body movements by Loehmann and Rice, as seen on video footage of the shooting. (A spokesman for McGinty's office said the three experts were only presenting "one side" of the story, but he could not elaborate because prosecutors are bound by grand jury secrecy laws.)[49]
Wrongful death suit and settlement
On December 5, 2014, Rice's family filed a wrongful death suit against Loehmann, Garmback, and the City of Cleveland in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The eight-page complaint accused Loehmann and Garmback of acting "unreasonably, negligently recklessly" and that "ad the defendant officers properly approached Tamir and properly investigated his possession of the replica gun they would undoubtedly have determined ... that the gun was fake and that the subject was a juvenile." It also accused the City of Cleveland for failing to properly train both officers, as well as failing to learn about the Independence police department's internal memo about Loehmann.[50][51][52]
On April 25, 2016, the lawsuit was settled in an effort to reduce taxpayer liabilities, with the City of Cleveland agreeing to pay Tamir Rice's family $6 million ($5.5 million to Tamir Rice's estate, $250,000 to the boy's mother, and $250,000 to the boy's sister).[1]
In the wake of the shooting, protests and public outcry broke out in Cleveland, although they were relatively minor. However, on November 25, 2014, a day after a grand jury decision to not indict the police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, the Cleveland protests became more prominent. That day, about 200 protesters marched from Public Square to the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway, causing the latter to be shut down temporarily.[17][33] Rice's family pleaded with the protesters to remain peaceful in their activities, saying, "Again, we ask for the community to remain calm. Please protest peacefully and responsibly."[53]
On December 5, Ohio Governor John Kasich established a task force to address community-police relations in response to Rice's shooting and other similar incidents.[54]
Rice's death has been cited as one of several police killings which 'sparked' the nationwide Black Lives Matter movement.[55][56][57]
The incident received national and international coverage, in part due to the time of its occurrence, coming shortly after the recent police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; the death of Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York; the police shooting of Akai Gurley in Brooklyn, New York just two days before; the shooting of John Crawford III in Dayton, Ohio; and the subsequent unrest following these incidents had attracted worldwide attention.
The Northeast Ohio Media Group was criticized for publishing a news story on Rice's parents' criminal records.[58][59]
A funeral service for Rice was held at the Mount Sinai Baptist Church on December 3, 2014, with about 250 people in attendance. He was remembered "for his budding talents and described as a popular child who liked to draw, play basketball and perform in the school's drum line." Family members criticized Loehmann for acting too quickly in Rice's shooting.[60][61]
