Prosecution of Domestic Violence Cases Attorney in Charlottesville, Virginia
If you have been accused of domestic violence, this charge comes with additional consequences that simple assault charges do not carry. It is in your best interest to understand how these types of cases are prosecuted so that you can make informed decisions about your own defense.
Here, we provide an overview of what you should know when charged with domestic violence offenses. If you want answers to your specific questions about your case, contact Bryan J. Jones to schedule an appointment. We will listen to you. We will investigate. And we will make sure you get the best defense possible in your unique circumstances.
Understanding the Difference Between Assault & Domestic Violence in Virginia
Assault is not domestic violence, but domestic violence is assault when the alleged victim has a certain statutorily defined relationship with the alleged attacker.
In Virginia, simple assault is
an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact.
Virginia Code § 18.2-57 covers assault and battery. These two, however, are not the same thing. Assault is the threat while battery is the actual harm. You do not need to commit a battery to be charged with assault. To be charged with assault, however, the alleged victim must have feared imminent harm.
Domestic violence is a general term used to cover assault and battery between spouses or household members. Domestic assault is defined under Virginia Code § 18.2-57.2 as an incident:
a current or former spouse or household member; and
an intentional touching that is committed in a threatening, angry, or vengeful matter with no legal purpose to do so; or
an intentional act to cause harm and the ability to cause that harm; or
an intentional act to cause fear of harm and that fear of harm was felt by the intended victim.
Domestic violence can be established even when no harm was committed – all that is required is the intent to cause harm. In Virginia, domestic violence is treated more severely than simple assault. The idea is a simple one: it's harder for an alleged victim to find safety because he or she lives with the alleged offender. Plus, domestic violence charges are usually coupled with protective orders that can impose immediate problems before the suspect has had an opportunity to defend himself or herself.
Understanding What the Prosecutor Must Prove to Render a Conviction
In domestic violence cases, the prosecutor must prove that:
the alleged offender and alleged victim had a statutorily defined domestic relationship; and
the alleged victim – at a minimum – feared imminent harm from the alleged offender, meaning the harm would be immediate and that the offender could actually cause the harm.
These two elements may sound easy enough to satisfy, but they are not – at least as far as the second element goes. The first element will be determined by the relationship. For example, are the alleged victim and offender spouses (former or current), family members, roommates, or household members?
The second element is harder to prove. The prosecutor must prove this element, too, beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecutor will need evidence to satisfy this element, and that evidence will primarily come from the alleged victim, like:
photos of any harm done
video of what happened
testimony of what happened.
If there were any eyewitnesses, then their testimony will also be key to the prosecutor's case.
But as we all know, there are always two sides to the story. Understanding what the prosecutor will admit as evidence will be important when the alleged offender retells what happened from his or her perspective.
Legal Counsel When You Need It Most
Understanding What the Prosecutor May Admit as Evidence
The evidence will influence the prosecutor's decision to drop the charges or pursue those charged either by offering a plea deal or going to trial. Here's what the prosecutor's evidence may entail.
Alleged Victim's Testimony
The victim's own words will be the most powerful piece of evidence, which can either harm or help your case. Many times the victim was the initial aggressor and many times the alleged victim does not want to pursue charges because the alleged domestic violence incident was no more than an argument that got too heated.
If the case goes to trial, the prosecutor may put the alleged victim on the stand. If that's the case, it will come down to the victim's credibility. During cross-examination, your attorney will ask questions that highlight problems with the victim's testimony or motives why the alleged victim may have falsely accused you of domestic violence. Your attorney will create doubt about the victim's telling of the incident.
If there were any witnesses, like children or another adult person who are either household members or not, their perspective of what happened will be important, too. The police officers responding to the incident are often key witnesses for the prosecutor. They may not be eyewitnesses, but they can account for the statements the victim made, the victim's injuries (if any), and damaged property (if any).
But again, everyone has a version of the story told from their own perspective and biases. Your defense attorney will – during cross-examination – ask questions designed to uncover these biases and identify any holes in the eyewitness account. Your attorney may have your own eyewitnesses testify on your behalf, too, that challenge the State's witness testimony.
Physical evidence is important for the State's case against you. Jurors will find physical evidence more believable than eyewitness testimony because they like objective "facts." The physical evidence that the State may offer as evidence proving your guilt can include:
torn or bloodied clothes
destroyed or damaged property
photographs of the alleged victim's injury
video – like those taken from a cell phone – of the incident.
As you can imagine, this type of evidence can be very damaging to an alleged offender's defense. But with the help of an experienced defense attorney, different interpretations and alternative explanations can be presented. It will come down to the alleged offender's credibility, too.
Understanding the Potential Outcomes of A Domestic Violence Case in Virginia
There are a number of outcomes that could result in your domestic violence case. Much of it depends on the evidence and your attorney's ability to negotiate and persuade the prosecutor, the judge, or the jury.
When the prosecutor has determined the evidence isn't enough to convict, the prosecutor may drop the charges.
Plea Deal
When the prosecutor may think the evidence is there but is questionable, the prosecutor may offer a plea deal to avoid the costs of trial. But for this outcome, the alleged offender must agree to the plea deal – these deals are sometimes in the best interests of the suspect but most times, are not. It is always important to discuss any plea offer with your attorney.
When the prosecutor does not offer a plea deal or when the alleged offender does not accept a plea offer, the case may go to trial. If the jury decides in your favor, then you may be acquitted of all charges.
If the case goes to trial and the jury believes the alleged victim, then you could be found guilty and convicted of domestic violence.

Das Dokument Fidem catholicam ist ein kaiserliches Mandat Ludwigs IV., das die Ablösung der Königswahl vom Approbationsrecht sanktioniert und juristisch begründet.

Inhalt
Das Mandat vom 6. August 1338 erklärt die Prozesse des Papstes gegen Kaiser Ludwig IV. für nichtig und rechtfertigt mit Argumenten aus dem kanonischen und dem römischen Recht die Rechtsfolgen, die sich aus der Königswahl durch die Kurfürsten ergeben. Unter Androhung des Entzugs von Lehen, Ämtern und Privilegien befiehlt es den Angehörigen des Reichs, die Exkommunikationen und verhängten Interdikte zu ignorieren.

Bedeutung
Das Dokument Fidem catholicam ist unter maßgebender Mitwirkung der im Armutsstreit von der Kirche verfolgten und exkommunizierten Spiritualen (Wilhelm von Ockham, Michael von Cesena, Marsilius von Padua, Bonagratia von Bergamo) entstanden, die am Hof Ludwigs in München wirkten und die Übermacht des Papsttums bekämpften. Es bildet zusammen mit den Beschlüssen des Kurvereins zu Rhense und Ludwigs IV. Licet iuris die rechtliche Grundlage für die Loslösung der Rechtmäßigkeit kaiserlicher Gewalt von der Approbation durch den Papst. Seinen Abschluss findet dieser Emanzipationsprozess der weltlichen Macht in der Goldenen Bulle Kaiser Karls IV. von 1356.

Apple removes anti-malware apps that harvested browser data
duration 11 September 2018
Apps from a well-known cyber-security firm were taken down from the Mac app store by Apple after they were found to export users' browser histories.
Several anti-malware apps made by Trend Micro have since been updated by the cyber-security company.
However, Trend Micro strongly denied allegations that the apps had been "stealing user data" and sending it to a server in China.
The apps' behaviour was noticed by a security researcher last week.
Three apps, Dr Cleaner, Dr Antivirus and App Uninstall, made by Trend Micro, were removed from the Apple Mac app store, though the tech giant has not publicly confirmed why.
"Reports that Trend Micro is 'stealing user data' and sending them to an unidentified server in China are absolutely false," said Trend Micro in a statement.
It added that it had completed an initial investigation which had confirmed that several apps, including Dr Cleaner and Dr Antivirus, had collected and uploaded "a small snapshot of the browser history on a one-time basis" at installation.
The firm said this was done for "security purposes", in order to analyse whether a user had recently encountered adware or other threats.
However, it added that it had decided to remove this function from the apps.
In an update to the statement, Trend Micro said, "We apologise to our community for concern they might have felt and can reassure all that their data is safe and at no point was compromised."
Logs of user browser history, previously held for three months, have now been deleted.
The BBC has contacted Apple for comment.

TV ReviewsJustice LeagueSeason 1
Justice League: "In Blackest Night"
Justice LeagueSeason 1
"In Blackest Night" / "In Blackest Night"
"In Blackest Night"
"In Blackest Night" (season 1, episodes 4-5; originally aired Nov. 19, 2001)
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."—United States Armed Forces oath of enlistment
No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power… Green Lantern's light!"—Green Lantern oath
Long before John Stewart recited the second oath, he had memorized the first. A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, John Stewart's greatest strength as a Green Lantern is his sense of honor and duty. Hal Jordan has no fear, Kyle Rayner has a limitless imagination, Guy Gardner has a warrior's spirit, and John has the loyalty that comes from being a soldier. The first line of the Armed Forces oath is about defending the Constitution and fighting enemies, but the rest is concerned with faith, allegiance, and obedience to a greater power, qualities that can be easily exploited and manipulated.
As part of the Green Lantern Corps, John serves at the will of a group of small blue men, the Guardians of Oa. Like the U.S. military, they have made their fare share of mistakes, including but not limited to the creation and enslavement of the Manhunters, menacingly named robots tasked with protecting the universe. When the Manhunters' black-and-white sense of morality turned them into a liability, they were reprogrammed for grunt work as the Green Lantern Corps replaced them as intergalactic peacekeepers. Angry and rejected, the Manhunters gained sentience with time, and set into motion a plan for revenge that comes to a head in "In Blackest Night." Striking at the heart of the Green Lantern Corps, the Manhunters frame John Stewart for the destruction of a planet, discrediting the Green Lantern Corps and luring half the Guardians to Ajuris 5 for John's trial.
From inner-city streets to extraterrestrial tribunals, "In Blackest Night" shows just how wide the scope for this series is, not just in terms of location, but actual story content. Convinced that he's responsible for the destruction of Ajuris, John walks through the neighborhood where he grew up at the start of the episode, stone-faced and melancholy as he stops a robbery with his power ring. When he runs into his old history teacher Mr. McGee, John is reminded that he still has friends back home, friends that miss him. It's the classic dilemma for anyone that's left home: How do you stay connected to your roots as your world grows beyond them? How can a person adjust to a life of barbershops and basketball games when he's been to the edge of the galaxy and holds world-crushing power in the palm of his hand?
John isn't given much time to ponder the question as the Manhunters arrive on Earth to arrest him, interrupted by a foursome of Leaguers that refuse to see their friend taken into custody. Their urban altercation is cut short when John admits his guilt and willingly hands over his ring, but Superman, J'onn, Flash, and Hawkgirl refuse to believe the Manhunters' accusation and travel to Ajuris 5 to uncover the truth. Flash distracts the tribunal by running in circles as John's lawyer, Hawkgirl goes to retrieve a character witness from the group of onsite Green Lanterns, and Superman and J'onn team up to investigate the scene of the crime.
Loosely inspired by Justice League of America #140-#141 by Steve Englehart, Dick Dillin, and Frank McLaughlin, writer Stan Berkowitz takes the core story of the Manhunters' revenge and incorporates space pirate and classic JLA villain Kanjar-Ro into the mix, adding in a handful of Green Lanterns for even more cameo goodness. Green Lanterns Arkkis Chummuck and Galius Zed make speaking appearances while Larvox and Tomar-Re hang out in the background, and they all get taken down by Hawkgirl before Kilowog steps up to speak for John's character. Hawkgirl never makes an appearance in the original comic story, but she gets significant development this week as the team members begin to fall into their roles: Flash is the clown, Superman is the Boy Scout, J'onn is the downer, Hawkgirl is the bruiser, and John is the soldier. Diana is the goddess and Batman is the human, which is probably why they work so well as a pair.
With a mouth that runs as fast as his feet, Flash is the show's comic relief, and his failed flirtations and equally abysmal lawyering skills bring humor to the grave proceedings. These early episodes feature a lot of action, drama, and exposition, but not much comedy, and once the writers discover the perfect balance of the four elements, the quality skyrockets. Eventually all the characters develop their own distinct sense of humor, but for now, Flash is the funny man, and his interjections help lighten the mood to give the emotional moments added weight. Michael Rosenbaum gives Flash a smooth, charming voice and his comedic timing is spot-on
Still reeling from the death of his entire race and the torture inflicted by the Imperium, J'onn is having trouble getting out of his tragic-hero rut. When Flash justifies his hitting on Hawkgirl by sarcastically asking, "What? Don't you ever get lonely?" J'onn responds with sadness, "More than you could imagine." When he investigates the Ajuris 4 site and Superman asks, "See anything wrong with this picture?" J'onn replies, "Where do I start? The loss of life? The echoes of our past?" Superman just means that the moon they're standing on is still orbiting a planet that was apparently destroyed, but J'onn has to go and turn everything into a Shakespearean soliloquy.
Butch Lukic is a director that understands how to create intense, kinetic action sequences, whether it's an armada of Manhunters against the entire Justice League or Hawkgirl fighting Green Lanterns hand-to-hand. In the group battles, each character gets a moment to show off their badassery: J'onn phases through a Manhunter's skull to rip out his circuitry; Hawkgirl smashes huge machines until they explode; and Flash and Superman are thrown up against mass numbers of disposable enemies. These two characters tend to get powered down, so when they have an opportunity to barrel through an army of robots, it's appreciated.
Hawkgirl's bar fight is just one awesome moment after another, starting with throwing her mace down in Arkkis' food and calling the Green Lanterns cowards. When the tiny, tentacled management tells them to put away their weapons, Shayera throws hers across the room and tells the Lanterns, "You think I need this mace to take you down?" Bouncing Galius Zed around the bar like a racquetball and punching Arkkis Chummuck through a wall, Hawkgirl defeats four members of the intergalactic police force and barely breaks a sweat. A detective on her native planet of Thanagar, Hawkgirl is a highly skilled fighter with a short fuse, and she's as brutal as she is relentless. She shares a kinship with John because of their similar military backgrounds, and the Green Lanterns turning their backs on their comrade-in-arms offends Hawkgirl's personal sense of duty. Aggressive, headstrong, and fiercely loyal, she's already showing herself to be the perfect romantic match for John, and their relationship will be a major source of emotional drama throughout the rest of the series.
Despite being the focus of "In Blackest Night," John doesn't actually do much for a large chunk of the episode, and he's wracked with guilt that incapacitates him at his trial. John believes that the energy beam from his ring accidentally hit a volcanic fault on Ajuris 4 and made the planet explode, despite the story making no sense in any way. Commenters were praising Phil LaMarr last week, and he deserves every compliment, delivering an emotional performance this week that fully captures John's shame and remorse. There's a heaviness to his words that enforces his sullen mood, but the weight disappears when he learns that Kanjar-Ro had used the Illusitron device to fake the planet's destruction. No longer carrying the burden of billions of deaths, John tackles the little pirate, an entire episode's worth of tension coming out with each successive "Why?!"
When the lead Manhunter takes control of the main power battery on Oa, John is the only thing that stands in the way of the giant electric green robot. The resolution to the Manhunter story is where Berkowitz stumbles, as John recites the Green Lantern oath, sucks the Manhunter-lantern into his ring, then shoots it back out as raw, non-sentient energy. LaMarr gives a stirring rendition of the oath, but the Manhunters' master plan is pretty flawed if it can be undone by one Green Lantern reciting the poem he says every 24 hours. That said, the conclusion is all about John reclaiming his power and self-worth, so Berkowitz succeeds on that front. When John is lost, he turns to the oath of the Corps that cultivated his morals and beliefs, finding strength and guidance in its words. As a member of the Marines, Green Lantern Corps, and now Justice League, John has developed the world's best support system; he just needs to believe in himself as much as everyone else does.
The design work on the alien characters and landscapes is diverse and striking this episode. The aliens on this show look like aliens, not humans with slight cosmetic changes, and the architecture has Kirby-styled embellishments to give it an otherworldly appearance.
The music from Kristopher Carter has a rousing, space opera feel, but the lack of a full orchestra diminishes some of its impact. There's just no way to make a keyboard-composed score not sound tinny. It's fine as long as you're not listening too closely, but after the rich orchestral sound of Batman: The Animated Series, the music on Justice League is artificial and uninspiring.
Nice yellow shirt on John at the start of the episode. Maybe he's going for the Luke Cage look?
When Hawkgirl calls Superman a human, he takes it as compliment. A cute moment between alien friends.
Why does the little blue alien in the bar have a Latino accent?
"Is there a… Hawkboy?"
"It was just a 4.0."
"Down, boy."
"If the ring wasn't lit, you must acquit!"
"That's how we solved out lawyer problem."
DC Relaunch Rundown:
It's the third month of the DC relaunch, and sales have remained steady, with minimal reader drop-off between the first and second issues. Some books even picked up readers last month, and for the first time since 2002, DC overtook Marvel in market share for the month of October (51 percent to 30.3 percent). How those numbers will fare during the upcoming winter months, when comic sales tend to decline across the board, is still to be seen, but as of now it's safe to say the experiment has been a financial success. Its creative success is a whole different matter, and one without handy numbers to help determine the verdict.
The quality of the books remains consistent, even though the creative teams are starting to shuffle around. The good books remain good, the bad remains bad, and the average books continue to neither impress nor offend. The new releases, miniseries Huntress, The Shade, and Penguin: Pain And Prejudice, range from globe-trotting cloak-and-dagger adventures to psychological musings of anti-heroes and cold-blooded crimelords, and each series offers a unique view of the DCnU with a distinct visual style.
Huntress is particularly commendable for presenting a fully-clothed female protagonist that isn't defined by her sexuality, but her personality. Paul Levitz and Marcus To's depiction of Helena Bertinelli actually reminds me a bit of Justice League Hawkgirl, a cutthroat female in a world of men, fighting for her beliefs without compromise or restraint. I'm actually enjoying Huntress much more than Batgirl, where Barbara's PTSD is starting to get overbearing, especially in the extensive narration.
After being criticized for a lack of female creators in the new 52, DC has made some big announcements over the past month, including luring Daredevil and Longshot writer Ann Nocenti back to comics for Green Arrow and having Nicola Scott fill-in for Jesus Marino on Superman. As welcome as Scott's presence is on the title, it's representative of the artistic inconsistency that is already beginning to plague titles, although in cases like Blackhawks, the change in artist ends up being a huge boon.
Blackhawks and O.M.A.C. have become two of my favorite books—and also two of the lowest selling. The books have completely different tones: Blackhawks is sleek military action, O.M.A.C. is absurd superhero fun, but both titles are brimming with energy and imagination. Instead of picking up another Gotham or Green Lantern book, give one of the DC fringe books a chance.
In terms of major continuity changes, Wonder Woman is now the daughter of Zeus and Krypto was Jor-El's dog that died on Krypton, although a homeless person believes a white dog watches over Clark Kent like a guardian angel. Buddy Baker's origin was altered again in Animal Man, revealing his daughter Maxine to be the actual avatar of the Red, with Buddy's only use being her creation and protection. There are still questions as to how the old continuity fits in to the Batman and Green Lanterns, but appearances by Abigail Arcane in Swamp Thing and Maxwell Lord in O.M.A.C. suggest that there are still plots carrying over into the new 52.


This book is the first basic account of the synecology of deserts. It covers a wide range of topics that have been studied extensively in other biomes, but not yet in arid lands, including predation and anti-predatory strategies, parasitic and allied interactions, herbivory and plant defences. Finally, community processes such as communal and social behaviour among animals, aggression, population effects, pollination, seed dispersal, competition, and food webs are discussed.


The paramount and overriding aim of bourgeois economic science is to present itself – precisely – as "science", that is to say, as a system of universally valid "laws" based on some causally binding physical "necessity". Of course, bourgeois science accepts that it is possible for human beings to choose to act in a manner that diverges significantly from these "necessary laws" of economic reality, just as it is possible for humans to choose not to follow the path dictated by physical laws to achieve a stated goal. But in both cases, choosing such a divergent path, far from negating the validity of scientific laws, will only result in the non-attainment of those stated goals, at least not in an "optimal" sense.
Thus, scientific laws are seen not as the result of human practices or techniques but rather as an "objective" framework that must be followed because it is ineluctable. Science is no longer seen as a human practice, as praxis, as one of many and indefinite paths to action – just as the causal "chains" that lead to a particular outcome are indefinite (cf. M. Weber, The Methodology of the Social Sciences) -, but rather as objective and unchangeable, hence "physical", laws. The difficulty with the assumption of scientific necessity of physical laws lies in the expression itself – because there is nothing "physical" about "laws" and there is nothing "legal" about the supposedly "physical". The pursuit of science (Nietzsche's "will to truth") is just that: – a "pursuit", a particular modus operandi or praxis that has nothing to do with physical necessity. The necessity implied in the word "physical" or "natural" can only be "legal" and therefore not "necessary" at all! Scientific laws do not and cannot prescribe "necessity" – because to do so they would have to have the "irresistibility" of logic (H. Arendt, The Life of the Mind). Yet, even and especially in the case of logic we know that nothing is "irresistible" at all. For this reason, Leibniz and Kant spoke of the intuitus originarius. Kant in particular, having first sought to establish the a priori status of scientific findings – though synthetic rather than analytic -, was forced finally to concede the failure of his enterprise in the Opus Postumum.
growing recognition is therefore closely linked to human progress.
The problem with this position is, of course, that the assertion that every event must be causally related is a simple and unprovable presumption – and we know only too well that events we think at present are causally related may well not be so because their causal relation – the physical law that con-nects them – must be empirically falsifiable to be valid (K. Popper, The Logic of Scientific Discovery) – whence we can conclude that every physical law is only "legally", that is, conventionally, valid and not at all ab-solutely. In other words, no physical law is a legibus soluta (literally, absolute, free from all laws) – that is to say, no physical necessity is immune from "law", from a conventional or normative assumption or rule: there is no ordo et connexio rerum et idearum.
Menger seeks to extend the necessity of scientific laws from physical events to the realm of human needs – starting from the most basic individual needs for the provision of physical sustenance or survival. Yet we know that, first, no such basic needs are definable at an "individual" level, and indeed all needs are not definable at a physical level, in terms of calories or in any other way, that is not culturally or "legally" defined in terms of scientific laws. Menger seeks to establish such a scientific necessity starting with the most basic needs of the human individual, consisting of "goods of lower order", and then ascend to "goods of higher order" which, because of their complementarity and relatedness (Verhaltnisse), lead to and result in the division of social labour - which Menger, like Adam Smith, mistakes for the division of "labour" or "individual labours".
But each time it is evident that even the most basic goods, those of lower order, are indefinable not just because they are not "goods" in terms of their objective physical properties – a proposition with which Menger agrees -, but also because they are indefinable in terms of human needs understood other than "culturally", that is to say, in terms of the "higher order" from which Menger arbitrarily distinguishes them. There are no elemental "needs" because human beings are aspects of being human so that all human being presupposes the existence of social labour. Consequently, contra Adam Smith, it is not "exchange" that leads to the division of "labour", because there is no such thing as "labour" in the abstract: but it is instead the division of social labour that makes exchange possible. And this is so essentially because it is impossible to define needs in "individual" terms – because all human needs are essentially "social" and therefore cultural – for they are never "biological" in any sense at all. Use values do not become "goods" because of biological needs: – they become "goods" because a historically specific division of social labour allows for their "exchange" – but it is not their "exchange" that gives rise to the division of social labour in the first place, as Adam Smith incorrectly believed!
Menger unjustifiably assumes that use values are necessarily "goods" or exchange values – he assumes what he needs to prove. Thus, he tries to establish a causal connection between "indirect" goods and "direct" goods – but must settle for the reality that such a causal chain between "need" and "relations" is categorically and scientifically impossible: categorically, because needs – which are presumably served by the direct goods of lower order - cannot be understood separately from "indirect goods" of higher order; and scientifically because therefore there cannot be any "necessary causal relation or link" leading from direct to indirect goods, that is, from goods that satisfy human needs immediately and goods that do so mediately.
And because needs are not biological but social, Menger is never able to establish a strictly economic nexus between the various "order" of goods that is not tied to their "possession" so that each time Menger tries to link causally one good with one of higher order in terms of "value" the value can no longer be attributed to the "order" or nature of the good but rather to its "possession". In other words, Menger is simply unable to separate causally the biological usefulness of goods from the fact (a very human and cultural fact in a Vichian political sense) of their constituting "property". The indissolubility of use value and property so as to fix scientifically a science of exchange value or of economics is the insurmountable obstacle that condemns Menger's entire scientific enterprise to failure ab initio! Given that a "good" cannot be defined independently in a biological sense and therefore independently of human social relations, it is obvious that the "science" of economics cannot stand on "necessary laws of cause and effect" as Menger pretended to show.
Menger's fallacious attempt to establish a scientific link between use values and "goods" or exchange values falters because use values are not necessarily "goods" for exchange for the simple reason that exchange is a historically specific form of the division of social labour – it is not exchange that causes the division of social labour because social labour is not dissectible into individual labours. But because Menger wrongly assimilates use values to exchange values he then needs to pursue this mistaken "physical" assimilation to include the "temporal" dimension of production.
Time is central to Menger's division of goods of different orders because those of lower order are for immediate consumption or need, and those of higher order are for delayed consumption or "relations" or "wants" (Bedarf), requirements).
Here is the first intimation of that "renunciation" of immediate consumption that leads to "interest" or the accumulation of capital through the "roundaboutness" of production that is central to Bohm-Bawerk's economic theory. It is entirely evident, however, that these "physical-natural" attributes of use values only become relevant to the process of production if we consider human products as exchange values, as "goods", that therefore necessarily "belong" to separated producers, to individual labours. From the viewpoint of social labour, of associated producers, time simply cannot be a factor in the production of exchange values ("goods") either as sacrifice or as uncertainty.
Here the "natural progression" of human production from the satisfaction of basic needs to less basic wants and requirements (Bedarf) is clearly called into question: not only do the producers in Menger's example choose not to produce in excess of their immediate needs, not only do they not postpone consumption, but they also seek to produce those use values that can be obtained with the least amount of effort intended as sacrifice (Kraft als Leid als Opfer)! (This link between effort and sacrifice will be made explicit by the co-founder, with Menger and Jevons, of neoclassical economics, Gossen.) Therefore, the willingness of some workers to delay consumption can never turn them into capitalists and result in their accumulating wealth-as-capital (or Menger's "goods of higher order" or Bohm-Bawerk's "roundabout tools") unless these "ascetics" can use their "command" over "goods" to force others to work for them – that is to say, unless they use their possession of dead labour to command politically and violently the living labour of other workers!
Clearly then, the ability of intermediate or indirect goods to command immediate or direct goods depends on the ability of the owners of the former to deny the consumption of the latter by other producers! As Menger asseverates, where workers are "few in numbers and living separately, [they] find few incentives for hard work" – whence we infer that the causal connection between direct and indirect goods in terms of "command" breaks down – unless those few workers are made "many" – that is, there is an excess of population caused by the violent denial to some workers of access to the harvest through expropriation! Conversely, the reason why "the crops themselves lose their goods-character" is precisely that workers are not forcibly excluded from access to them as use values. Thus, the creation of exchange values, of "goods", is not a "natural" or "physical" attribute of overall "command" over use values by all human beings and producers, but rather it requires the parcelisation of social labour through the proprietary exclusion of some producers by others from the products of human labour, from use values. This is the key to the accumulation of social wealth as capital.
welfare of this people increase.
Obviously, here Menger reduces Smith's observations on the division of labour to a purely "technical" factor – which is simply wrong because Smith made civilisation and the division of labour one and the same thing – with the mistake that he attributed the division of "labour" to the need for exchange rather than the existence of exchange as a historically specific form of the division – not of "labour"! - but of "social labour". For Smith, quite rightly, it is impossible to dissect the division of labour from the expansion of human needs. But these needs and their satisfaction through new production and the division of social labour cannot be linked "naturally" to exchange and therefore to property rights – though this is what Smith does by assuming (a) the existence of "individual labours" and therefore, (b), the necessity for exchange, for "goods".
Menger's vain attempt to link the provision (Bedarf) of use values to the production of exchange values ("goods") – his attempt to identify use values with "goods" and thus to link two categorically different entities – is evinced in the last two sections of Chapter One of the Principles of Economics: the first on the division of labour and the command over production, and the second on property. Now, the division of social labour has nothing to do with the command over production, as every anthropologist can attest. But it is this emphasis on the "quantity" of use values, and therefore their transformation into exchange values that can be "commanded" that truly concerns Menger. It is not sufficient that human beings divide up social labour, as they must to be "human" in any sense. Because for Menger, and for Smith, the division of social labour is only the division of "individual labours" which is made "social" only by the need "to exchange" the products of individual labours, then it is clear that the mere division of "labour" is not sufficient to drive economic growth – because Menger, unlike Smith, understands economic growth "scientifically" or "physically-naturally" as the ultimate need to satisfy what he thinks are clearly identifiable "basic human needs". Therefore, this greater command over the production of lower order goods can be achieved only through the renunciation of immediate consumption, which is paid for with abstinence (from immediate consumption) and uncertainty (of eventual production). And these two "sacrifices" are what gives rise to "property".
Just as Menger mistakenly sought to distinguish between basic needs and wants or requirements (Bedarf), satisfied respectively by goods of lower and higher order, so now he seeks also to distinguish between basic needs and less basic ones by means of the amount of control or command that human beings have over the production of "goods" for their satisfaction. In both cases, Menger seeks to trace a causal link or chain in the "progress" from the satisfaction of basic to less basic needs or requirements or wants. Yet we know that no such distinction can be made, nor can any such link be traced. Furthermore, there can be no question of making the leap from "command" over use values on the part of human beings as a species - through social labour – and command over "goods" for exchange between individual human beings – because command over use values by the human species will never be able to be reduced to command over "goods" or exchange values as if use values naturally or physically or "scientifically" belonged to individual producers!
In the quotation below, Menger fully displays his inability to distinguish between the division of social labour, which is not the product of individual decisions but rather the result of specific historical forms of social organisation, and one such specific historical form whereby the division of social labour hinges entirely on the politically violent institution of private property over "individual labours", that is to say, on the fictitious parcelisation of social labour into alienable individual labours (wage labour).
complementary goods are generally in the hands of different persons.
Use values can belong to individual producers and be available for exchange as "goods" only through the political establishment of property rights over "individual" use values. Menger simply cannot see that property rights can in no guise arise from "natural" relations of cause and effect. No amount of causal links between basic needs, at one end of the causal chain, and wants or requirements at the other can ever explain what is the necessarily political origin of property rights. And only property rights can beget more property rights – because no amount of "physical-natural command over use values" will turn use values – which refer to humans as a species with its division of social labour - into "goods" or exchange values subject to property rights that are necessarily "individual" – the essential ingredient for the "exchange" of use values and therefore for the existence of "goods"!
goods of different kinds serve the purposes of economizing men.
Menger here leaps from stating correctly that "only in their entirety[!] do these goods [use values] bring about…the satisfaction of our requirements", to the inadmissible conclusion that "the entire sum of goods[!] at an…. individual's command[!]… we call his property". The entire sum of use values, belonging to the human division of social labour, can never suddenly become "the entire sum of [individually owned] goods [exchange values]" without the violent institution of alienated labour, wage labour on which private property is based!


Abstract. Aspects regarding pest control in forest ecosystems. The following paper is constructed as an essay meant to discuss pest control in forest ecosystems from the point of view of the forest's multiple functionality. We will highlight the alarming degree of disease spread in Romanian forests and in other European countries where this state of facts has caused massive deforestation. Biotechnical, chemical and biological methods are presented, their advantages and limits, but also the complex or biocenotic method which is the latest method of pest control meant only to reduce the population of insects below the critical level, not to eradicate them entirely.

It is not unusual for pregnant women to undergo urinary incontinence at some point in their pregnancy. The experience of the class varies from girl to woman and even pregnancy but the uncontrolled leakage of urine is also an almost certainty for the expectant mom.
The frequency and circulation of the incontinence may also change. Some girls may have regular episodes while others have relatively few. You can buy affordable women's standing urination device via https://www.thepeepocket.com/.
Stress incontinence is a frequent experience for pregnant ladies. The body is going through quite a few changes as the infant grows and you will find new pressures being implemented as a consequence of the expansion.
Generally, stress incontinence isn't a problem when the kid is born. Clearly, the origin of the pressure was eliminated and with it the origin of the strain.
Based upon the reason, a lady has numerous treatment options to control urinary incontinence throughout her pregnancy. Perhaps the easiest is tackling her fluid intake and scheduling toilet visits.
By placing a program for both swallowing fluids and then passing them at times, she is able to control mild stress incontinence and rather frequently train her body to move three or four hours between visits.

Title: Sheepmeat access to US welcomed by Bord Bia
Bord Bia said it is delighted with the prospect of promoting sheepmeat to the US in the coming months.
https://www.farmersjournal.ie/sheepmeat-access-to-us-welcomed-by-bord-bia-666165

Sheepmeat access to US welcomed by Bord Bia
Bord Bia has said that the lifting by US authorities of a ban on EU sheepmeat is an important step forward in the process of achieving market access for Irish sheepmeat exports to the US market.
According to Bord Bia, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) decision will pave the way for full market access for Irish sheepmeat to the US.
Sheepmeat exports from the EU to the US were banned due to the presence of scrapie in certain EU member states.
Welcoming the announcement, Bord Bia chief executive Tara McCarthy said: "Bord Bia is delighted with the prospect of promoting sheepmeat to the US in the coming months.
"Our focus will be on raising the profile of Irish grass-fed sheepmeat through awareness of it as a premium, natural product sourced from quality assured farms, and fully traceability from farm to fork."
McCarthy said that sheepmeat consumption in the US is forecast to stand at 185,000t this year.
"Imports in 2020 stood at 133,000t (€886m) and account for two-thirds of total sheepmeat consumption.
"Growing lamb consumption levels, albeit from a small base, have resulted in an increasing demand for lamb. However, this is not expected to stimulate an upturn in domestic production," she said.
The two largest suppliers of imported sheepmeat to the US - New Zealand and Australia - represent 99% of all imports in volume terms (New Zealand 76%; Australia 23%. Source: Global trade atlas data for 2020).
Bord Bia US manager Henry Horkan said: "Through engaging with key importers and customers over the coming months, we will pave the way for the launch of lamb in the US.
"This is vital at a time when diversification into international markets has never been more important to optimise the value returned to Irish producers."
Next spring, the Department of Agriculture will lead a trade mission with Bord Bia to the US, which will include a series of lamb-focused meetings with key importers.

Intensive efforts ongoing to resume beef exports to China
At last week's Bord Bia Meat Market Seminar, the Department's Sinead McPhillips said that while efforts are ongoing, ultimately the decision remains a matter for the Chinese authorities.
Hogget carryover of 50,000 to 60,000 head forecast for 2022
There is a modest recovery expected in global sheepmeat supplies in 2022 and Bord Bia predicts market performance to stabilise once we get beyond the first few weeks of January.
Irish sheepmeat exports increased by 12% to reach €420m in 2021
The increase occurred despite export volumes reducing by 9% and was underpinned by the value of exports increasing by anywhere from 9% to 40% in key EU markets.

Home Small Business MultiEmedia Adds to Growing Portfolio
MultiEmedia Adds to Growing Portfolio
By Alicia Camphuisen | March 19, 2001
Internet technology and application developer MultiEmedia.com is spreading its wings into the online marketing space, with the acquisition of local market research and related services provider Brands Online.
Under the deal, Brands Online will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MultiEmedia.com, said the latter's co-founder and chairman Adrian Ballintine. "In line with our strategy as a group to provide businesses with services based on technology using Internet-based protocols, Brands Online will provide MultiEmedia.com with access to a new sector that, from a global perspective, shows significant promise," he said.
Brands Online will maintain its independence within the MultiEmedia.com group in the wake of the purchase, with the company's staff and management continuing to operate from Brands Online's Melbourne base.
The one-year-old Brand Online provides consumer insights and similar research to help clients build their brand in the Internet space. It develops a community of consumers it leverages to provide market research and similar services to its clients. The company also offers interactive online brand promotions to suppliers of products and services.
Brands Online chief executive officer Joseph Ebbage said that the acquisition would allow Brands Online to continue its emphasis on sales and marketing services, and would be "drawing on the resources and capabilities of an established technology company" to deliver these services.
MultiEmedia.com has been an active Internet industry player of late, with the Brands Online acquisition following two purchases in February.
MultiEmedia.com started February by acquiring Internet banking solutions developer and online financial services provider Moby 6, for a purchase price that comprised the issue of 7.5 million ordinary shares in MultiEmedia.com and a grant of the same number of options exercisable within two years for 10 cents each.
Ballintine believed the acquisition would "greatly strengthen our involvement in the financial services sector, and will enable us to leverage our strategic position with the ANZ Banking Group, our largest shareholder."
The company followed this acquisition with the purchase of Internet 3D technology and applications developer e-Estate.net, in which it increased its stake from 30 per cent to 100 percent. This acquisition was motivated by MultiEmedia.com9s desire to enhance its Web site creation applications, "but also provide us with the opportunity to provide 3D capability to other We site creators," said Ballintine.
Like many of its online peers though, MultiEmedia.com has endured fairly erratic but generally falling stock prices since the Net stock crash last April. Today the company's share price on the Australian Stock Exchange reached a high of 65 cents following the Brands Online announcement, before settling on 53 cents at close of trading.


Mrs. Patricia Baker of Atlanta Ga passed Celebration of life service will be held Monday, July 6,2015 at 11:00 A.M. Saint Paul A.M.E Church.She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 10, 1943 as the second daughter to Cortez and Beatryce Perrin who have both preceded her in death. Patricia matriculated through Peabody High School in Pittsburgh, PA. While at Peabody, Patricia became the first African-American majorette in the school's history. Patricia earned her nursing degrees at Montefiore Hospital School of Nursing (Registered Nurse, RN) and Hampton Institute – now known as Hampton University (Bachelors of Science in Nursing, BSN). She was a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.
Patricia and her daughter Stefani relocated from Pittsburgh, PA to the Atlanta area in 1976. After her relocation, she found immediate employment with Southwest Community Hospital where she was on staff for several years. The majority of her career in Atlanta was spent doing private duty nursing where she loved her patients and they loved her. Patricia's excellent nursing skills became on demand across the Metro Atlanta area. Prior to retiring, she left patient care to experience a career change as a Medical Review Specialist for a major insurance company. She enjoyed and excelled in her new career, receiving many accolades from the company. In addition to her professional nursing, she acted as our family nurse. Very frequently, she successfully and accurately helped us through medical problems and we affectionately began to call her "Dr. Baker". Often times, the family would call on "Dr. Baker" for advice prior to going to a doctor appointment and to confirm that she agreed with the doctor's approach. Her main interests were cooking, basketball and gardening, while her biggest hobby was fishing. She could fish every day of the week if time allowed. She was always up for finding a new fishing-hole. Fishing relaxed her and helped to ease her pain. Patricia also found joy in gardening. She was a lifetime indoor gardener. Her homes were always filled with plants, but when she moved to Atlanta's Pittsburgh community she began a vegetable garden. With her friend Mr. Jimmy, Patricia maintained a bountiful vegetable garden in the Pittsburgh community garden. She enjoyed watching her harvest go from seed to plate. Patricia received the Shining Star award from the Pittsburgh Community Improvement Association (PCIA) for her work in the community garden. Patricia also had shopping down to a science. She was a professional at finding the best bargains in ANY town. She enjoyed doing show-n-tell with us to display her bargains when she got home. Patricia was affectionately called "Ant" by her nieces and nephews and all of their friends. Having to deal with many chronic illnesses, Ant used her good days wisely. Ant used her good days to be a lot of fun with the young people and make them laugh. She also used her good days to mentor a group of male teens/young adults known as the "716 Crew". Because of Ant's guidance the "716 Crew" are now productive young men, making good contributions to society. They appreciate how she mentored them by shooting straight from the hip to get them to do what is right and prepare for their lives ahead. She taught them that "if you don't do what's right, you will suffer the consequences from the world, as well as, from ME"! The "716 Crew" will never forget Ant. Patricia/Dr. Baker/Ant was a kind person who ensured that everyone around her was safe, well, and had the right information to make decisions. At times she opened her home as a safe haven for those in need. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Patricia Perrin Baker passed away on Thursday, June 25, 2015. Those who cherish the memory of Patricia Perrin Baker include: her beloved daughter, Stefani Perrin-Baker Moore; sisters, Albertine Goeins Perrin and Toni Perrin Jordan (Christopher, Sr.); nieces and nephews, Technical Staff Sergeant Torrey B. Kilpatrick (Natisha), Tia S. Kilpatrick, Christopher D. Jordan, Jr., Crystal D. Jordan; special nieces and nephews: Tori Carrington, Sonya Weaver, Brandon Weaver, Jaye Weaver; and, a host of cousins from the Perrin, Goeins, and Hughey families. She was predeceased by her special soul mate Jimmy Mathis and her sweet four-legged companion, Simba.

Churov's visit to the State Duma was much anticipated by the press as well as the public – the #Churov hashtag even made it to the top of the Twitter ranking on Friday. The reason behind this is the ongoing discussion over December's parliamentary election, which mainstream and fringe opposition alike say was marred by numerous violations.
Mass protests hit Moscow at the end of last year, with one of the key demands being Churov's resignation. On the day of the Duma session where Churov delivered his speech, a lone girl with a placard stating "We demand fair elections!" stood near the entrance to the State Duma. As the weather in Moscow is extremely cold right now, the commission head went into the street and invited the protester to continue her one-person rally inside, which she duly did, standing with her placard in the State Duma conference hall.
Duma deputies remained unimpressed by Churov's chivalry. Anatoly Lokot of the Communist Party even presented the CEC chairman with scissors, so he could cut his beard.
The head of the Liberal Democratic faction, Igor Lebedev, was more direct and asked if Churov was ready to resign. Churov, for his part, did not give a direct answer, saying instead that if he resigned straight away, there was a chance that the country would remember him as a positive character. Churov called on the parliamentarians to concentrate on the discussion at hand, not on self-promotion.
The head of the Central Election Commission said that the complaints about numerous violations sounded strange, especially coming from opposition parties that sent few monitors to the elections and often learned about these violations from the authorities. He also added that the reported violations, such as the removal of monitors from polling stations, are being thoroughly investigated and that all those responsible will face punishment.
The CEC Chairman also suggested a move to further improve the electoral procedure in the country: forming regional election commissions once every five years, so they have enough time to be trained ahead of polls.
Head of the Investigative Committee Aleksandr Bastrykin, who spoke after Churov, reminded the assembly that most of the cases involving violations were opened after complaints made not by opposition, but by the parliamentary majority United Russia. This includes incidents when United Russia uncovered attempts to rig the vote in its own favor, which it sees as deliberate provocation.

SEPANG: Silver medallist Goh Liu Ying is a knockout as seen in her off-the-court photographs but her brothers remember a more rambunctious side of her growing up.
Her younger brothers, both working in the IT business, recalled childhood days of playing badminton for hours on end. And also losing terribly to their sister.
"Our mother always wanted us to play. But we couldn't beat her and by the time she was 13, she entered the Bukit Jalil Sports School. We didn't have a chance against her after that," said Goh Qi Hao, 23.
Qi Hao and another brother Goh Qi Liang, 25, brought huge bouquets for their 27-year-old big sister at the Bunga Raya Complex yesterday.
The entire family was there, too, including Liu Ying's wheelchair-bound 86-year-old grandfather who had not been to Kuala Lumpur for over three decades.
"We are all so proud of her. We never expected her to achieve so much," said Qi Liang, who is still coming to grips with the fact that his sister was now a national celebrity.
"I mean, when she was 12 or 13, she had short hair, not like now. Maybe you could consider her a tomboy but she still acted like a girl," he said.
The brothers said that Liu Ying's feat did not come easy. Their family pulled together to push her into recovering from her knee surgery to winning the silver.
"You could see she was very fed up. It was so difficult for her. But we just kept motivating her to keep fighting, step by step.
"Tonight, we are going to celebrate with a big dinner," Qi Hao said.
The brothers also thanked Liu Ying's partner Chan Peng Soon, whom they considered a close family friend, for "taking care" of her in Rio.
"They are like brother and sister," Qi Liang said.
Liu Ying's father Goh Chak Whee said the fact that his daughter had taken part in the Games was enough to make the family proud. The medal was merely icing on the cake.
"We never expected her to win. Her physical frame is not like other athletes, so we never expected her to do so well. We are very proud," he said.

Fleabag, One of the Best Shows of 2016, Will Return . . . in Two Years
"I asked myself if Fleabag has more to say, and frankly she hasn't shut up since," Waller-Bridge says.
Courtesy of BBC Three.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge has not forsaken us after all! The writer-star of Fleabag, the truly brilliant Amazon dramedy that nestled into several best-of lists last year, announced that the show will be returning for a second season after all—albeit not until 2019. (So desperately far away, but better than nothing at all.) It was originally unclear if the show would return for another go-round, given the ascent of Waller-Bridge's career since its debut, but all involved parties have since realized that this project was too magical to give up on.
"I asked myself if Fleabag has more to say, and frankly she hasn't shut up since," Waller-Bridge said in a statement. "Series two will be a whole new adventure, and I'm beyond thrilled to be coming back."
Season 1 ended on an almost calamitous note, bringing a witty six-episode run to an arresting end. The series revolves around an unnamed British woman—we know her only by the nickname Fleabag—working through the devastating losses of both her best friend and her mother, while also giving in to her every sexual whim, no matter how perverse. She's a pretty glorious mess.
"I always wanted the feeling of someone who was a scream, a great person to have at a party," Waller-Bridge previously told Vanity Fair. "If you met in a bar, you'd be like, 'This girl's on top of everything. She's funny, she's witty, she's clever, she's so self-aware. She must be flying.' And then she leaves and someone goes, 'You realize her mother and her best friend died like a year ago?'"
The show also boasts a strong cast, including a dirtbag Brett Gelman and a comically villainesque Olivia Colman. Waller-Bridge's post-Fleabag acclaim has included landing a role in the upcoming Han Solo spin-off film and executive producing and writing a new series for BBC America, a murder drama titled Killing Eve which will star Sandra Oh. Though it was pre-supposed that Waller-Bridge, who was nominated for several BAFTAs, would land an Emmy nomination this year, the glittery U.S.-based awards show evaded her this time around. Perhaps 2019 will bring some vengeance. Hell hath no fury like a Flea scorned.

St. Luke's to pause some elective surgeries until Christmas to keep up with Idaho's wave of COVID-19 cases
Starting Monday until Dec. 25, St. Luke's will stop scheduling elective surgeries that require an overnight stay and can be delayed 90 days without ill effects.
Published: 3:45 PM MST November 12, 2020
Updated: 6:50 PM MST November 12, 2020
BOISE, Idaho — Due to the growing wave of COVID-19 cases in Idaho, St. Luke's Health System announced on Thursday that certain elective surgeries will no longer be scheduled. The restriction is needed so the healthcare group can "proactively manage its capacity for care."
In a press release, St. Luke's said surgeries and procedures that can be delayed by 90 or more days without adverse effects and that also require an overnight visit will no longer be scheduled.
The pause on certain surgeries starts on Monday, Nov. 16 and will be in effect through Dec. 25. St. Luke's in Boise, Meridian, Magic Valley and Nampa will also cancel any of these surgeries that have been scheduled for the week of Nov. 16.
St. Luke's added that they will reevaluate the plan weekly.
St. Luke's hospitals in McCall, Wood River and Mountain Home won't cancel any scheduled elective surgeries and procedures, as those will go on as planned.
The health system also announced that they will continue the pause on the intake of pediatric patients at St. Luke's Magic Valley.
Any kids needing to be seen will be transferred from Twin Falls to other medical facilities. St Luke's did issue two exceptions:
Patients at least 14 years old and weigh at least 40 kg in and don't have COVID-19 may be admitted to an adult bed at Magic Valley hospital.
Patients younger than 28 days old and don't have COVID-19 may be admitted to the Magic Valley hospital NICU.
St. Luke's added in its announcement that the restrictions won't affect elective surgeries or procedures that don't need an overnight stay.

Eurasian Watermilfoil
Where did Eurasian watermilfoil come from?
Eurasian watermilfoil was introduced to the United States in the 1940s as a decoration in aquariums. It may have been dumped into a lake or pond which started the spread.
It is native to Europe, Asia and North Africa.
Why is it a problem?
Eurasian watermilfoil grows so fast that it can reduce the amount of light in a lake or pond, and this will shade out the other native aquatic plants.
Dense beds of Eurasian watermilfoil create more hiding spaces for the small fish, so they are harder for the larger fish to catch. When there are lots of little fish, they may not have enough to eat so they stay small, called stunting.
Eurasian watermilfoil can reproduce very fast, and all it takes is a two-inch fragment of a broken stem to start a new plant.
When removed from the water, Eurasian watermilfoil is limp and soft, while northern watermilfoil, which is a native plant, is hard and bristly
Eurasian watermilfoil has 12-21 leaflet pairs, while northern watermilfoil only has 5-10 leaflet pairs.
How do we control it?
The northern watermilfoil weevil usually eats northern watermilfoil, but it likes Eurasian watermilfoil much better.
Herbicides can be used, but they will also kill the native plants.
It can also be cut, but all of the plant must be removed from the water or it will come back very fast. All it takes is a fragment of a stem to spread.
Inspect boats, trailers, motors, and nets for Eurasian watermilfoil.
Never transport bait or water from one lake to another.
Learn to identify Eurasian watermilfoil.

Salpêtrière School of Hypnosis
(Redirected from The Salpêtrière School of Hypnosis)
Charcot demonstrating hypnosis on a Salpêtrière patient, who is supported by Joseph Babiński
The Salpêtriére School, also known as the School of Paris, is, with the Nancy School, one of the schools that contributed to the age of hypnosis in France from 1882 to 1892. The leader of this school, the neurologist Jean Martin Charcot, contributed to the rehabilitation of hypnosis as a scientific subject presenting it as a somatic expression of hysteria. Charcot also used hypnosis as an investigative method and that by putting his hysterical patients into an "experimental state" it would permit him to reproduce their symptoms and interpret them.
Charcot did not consider people suffering from hysteria as pretenders[1] and discovered that hysteria was not just a state reserved for women.[2] Finally, Charcot associated hysteria to post-traumatic paralysis, establishing the basis for the theory of psychic trauma.
Charcot's collaborators included Joseph Babinski, Paul Richer, Alfred Binet, Charles Féré, Pierre Janet, Georges Gilles de la Tourette, Alexandre-Achille Souques, Jules Cotard, Pierre Marie, Gilbert Ballet, Paul Regnard, Désiré-Magloire Bourneville, Paul Brémaud and Victor Dumontpallier.[citation needed]
Ultimately, Charcot was accused of operating as a carnival showman, training his patients in theatrical behaviour, which he would attribute to hypnosis.[3] After his death in 1893, the practice of hypnotism declined in medical circles.[4]
Historical context[edit]
Animal magnetism and the emergence of hypnosis[edit]
Further information: Animal magnetism
Since the theoretical development of animal magnetism in 1773 by Franz-Anton Mesmer, the various movements of "magnetic medicine" fought into vain to be recognized and legitimized. In France, animal magnetism is introduced by Mesmer in 1778 and is the subject of several official condemnations, particularly in 1784, and in 1842 the Academy of Sciences decided to stop investigating magnetic phenomenon. That did not prevent a great number of doctors from using it, particularly in hospitals, including Charles Deslon, Jules Cloquet, Alexandre Bertrand, Professor Husson, Leon Rostan,[5] François Broussais, Étienne-Jean Georget,[6] Didier Berna and Alphonse Teste.[7] In other European countries, animal magnetism was not subject to such harsh judgment, and was practiced by doctors such David Ferdinand Koreff, Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland, Karl Alexander Ferdinand Kluge, Karl Christian Wolfart, Karl Schelling, Justinus Kerner, James Esdaile and John Elliotson.
The term "hypnotic" appears in the Dictionary of the French Academy in 1814[8] and the terms "hypnotism", "hypnosis", "hypnoscope", "hypnopole", "hypnocratie", "hypnoscopy", "hypnomancie" and "hypnocritie" are proposed by Étienne Félix d'Henin de Cuvillers on the basis of the prefix "hypn" as of 1820.[9] The Etymological dictionary of the French words drawn from the Greek, by Morin; second edition by Guinon, 2 volume – 8°, Paris, 1809, and the universal Dictionary of Boiste, include the expressions "hypnobate", "hypnology", "hypnologic", "hypnotic". But it is generally accepted that in the 1840s, it is that the Scottish surgeon James Braid who makes the transition between animal magnetism and hypnosis. In 1841, Braid attends a public demonstration of the hypnotizer Charles Lafontaine and in 1843 he publishes Neurhypnology, Treaty of nervous sleep or hypnotism. Braid's hypothesis essentially repeats the doctrines of the French imaginationnist hypnotizers such Jose Custodio da Faria and Alexandre Bertrand. Braid however criticizes Bertrand for explaining the magnetic phenomenon as caused by a mental state, the power of imagination, whereas he explains them as being due to a physiological cause, the tiredness of the nerve centers related to a paralysis of the ocular apparatus.[10]
His contribution consists above all of proposing a new method of fascination based on concentrating on a brilliant object, a method that supposedly produces more constant and more rapid effects compared to that of the old-fashioned hypnotizers, and a theory based on the concept of mental fatigue. For him, hypnosis is a state of mental concentration during which the faculties of the patient's spirit are so entirely monopolized by one idea that it becomes indifferent to any other considerations or influence. Braid uses this method as an anesthetic during surgery. At that time, ether was not yet used in anesthesiology. Discovered in 1818 by Michael Faraday, ether is not used for the first time until 1846, by the American dentist William Morton.
Around 1848, Ambroise-Auguste Liébeault, a young surgery intern, also became interested in animal magnetism. Influenced by the hypnotizers Charles Lafontaine and Jules Dupotet de Sennevoy, he began putting young women to sleep. On December 5, 1859, the surgeon Alfred Velpeau presented to Academy of Sciences an intervention practised under hypnotic anaesthesia according to the method of Braid in the name of three young doctors, Étienne Eugène Azam, Paul Broca and Eugene Follin.[11] The previous day at Necker hospital the three operated on an anal tumor using hypnotic anaesthesia. The operation, very painful by nature, occurred without the patient showing any sign of pain. The following year, Joseph Durand (de Gros) published A theoretical and practical course of Braidisme, or nervous hypnotism.
In 1864, Liébeault moved to Nancy as a philanthropist healer, curing children with magnetized water and by the laying on of hands. His interest in animal magnetism was revived by reading the works of Crêpe and Azam. He is on the fringe at a time when animal magnetism was completely discredited by the academy when he publishes in 1866, to general indifference, Sleep and similar states considered especially from the point of view of the action of the moral on the physique.[12]
In 1870, the philosopher Hippolyte Taine presented an introduction to the theories of Braid in his review Intelligence. In 1880, a neurologist of Breslau, Rudolf Heidenhain, impressed by the achievements of the public hypnotizer Carl Hansen, adopts his method and publishes a book on animal magnetism.[13] In Austria, the neurologist Moritz Benedikt experiments with hypnosis,[14] followed by the doctor Josef Breuer.

"Carrying BioMath Education in a Leaky Bucket" by James A. Powell, Brynja R. Kohler et al.
In this paper, we describe a project-based mathematical lab implemented in our Applied Mathematics in Biology course. The Leaky Bucket Lab allows students to parameterize and test Torricelli's law and develop and compare their own alternative models to describe the dynamics of water draining from perforated containers. In the context of this lab students build facility in a variety of applied biomathematical tools and gain confidence in applying these tools in data-driven environments. We survey analytic approaches developed by students to illustrate the creativity this encourages as well as prepare other instructors to scaffold the student learning experience. Pedagogical results based on classroom videography support the notion that the Biology-Applied Math Instructional Model, the teaching framework encompass-ing the lab, is effective in encouraging and maintaining high-level cognition among students. Research-based pedagogical approaches that support the lab are discussed.

Garmin GPSMap 76
One of the most versatile navigation devices available.
By Dennis Caprio
Several years ago, makers of handheld GPS receivers lowered the prices of basic units, reduced their size and improved their performance. Most yachtsmen thought of the resulting products as great backup for a "real" GPS at the navigation station.
Then came GPS/plotters, which ran increasingly sophisticated electronic cartography and displayed color charts. Mariners stopped asking whether to switch to electronic charting and started considering which system to buy. Paper charts and traditional navigational procedures are essential for safe navigation, but it has become difficult to deny the usefulness and ease of operation today's GPS receivers provide.
The Garmin GPSMap 76 is just such a little giant. It weighs less than a pound, fits into a shirt pocket and is about as versatile as a navigational device can be. For a suggested retail of $399, it's a steal.
It runs for 16 hours on a pair of AA dry cells, or indefinitely on a 12 VDC adapter. It provides 8 megabytes of internal memory, so you can download data from Garmin's MapSource CDs. It has a built-in database of major cities, coastlines, nautical navigation aids, lakes, rivers, interstates and tides. The key to the 76's versatility is it ability to interface with a PC and NMEA 0183 electronic devices, such as a sounder.
I tested the GPSMap 76 as a standalone navigational aid and without the benefit of the MapSource CD. Our office is 100 percent Macintosh, and MapSource requires a PC. I discovered that operating GPSMap 76 is very much like operating a larger, fixed-mount unit. The main keys are even large enough to allow a solid push, though the Zoom keys are too small for my fingertips. All the operations are performed by toggling through a variety of pages and menus.
The GPSMap 76 initializes automatically by locating itself after it acquires the requisite number of satellites, and it does so in a few minutes. Although it defaulted to usable setup choices-location format, map datum, etc.-I changed speed and distance to read in knots, depth in meters, and north reference to true.
My favorite navigational exercise actually occurred on land, this being a novelty for me. When I selected the Map page, a large chunk of North America appeared in ludicrously tiny detail. I moved the cursor along the map until I came close to my location in Connecticut. The name of the largest city closest to the cursor appears on the screen as the cursor moves. Then I zoomed in on my location until a clear representation of Interstate 95 appeared. The street map showed me Exit 4, which became "home." I located Exit 17 in Westport, marked it as a waypoint and headed east on I-95.
The "highway" display showed my cross-track error. Above the highway, my speed appeared in knots (because I forgot to change it for highway use), distance to exit 17 in nautical miles (same reason), and course and cross-track error in degrees. The procedure is the same when you're on the water.
I liked this handy little navigator very much. The only thing that annoyed me was having to cycle through the alphabet using the cursor pad to enter the name of each waypoint-tedious beyond words to this impatient user.
Nevertheless, the unit felt substantial in my hand, floated as Garmin said it would and remained waterproof throughout the two-week test period. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a friend, if I knew that person enjoyed messing with electronic devices. The GPSMap 76 is so sophisticated and complete, it may overwhelm the casual user. It has hundreds of options for customizing its functions, and two weeks really isn't enough time to check them all out.
