My three-year-old is smart, curious, and interested in exploring new things – though I might be a tiny bit biased, I know. The one thing he is NOT interested in is working with letters or numbers. If we're coloring and I start to draw a letter or number, he says, "No numbers, Momma!" Playing with alphabet or number magnets, foam shapes in the bath, etc. gets a similar response.
So I started making up little games to build a foundation for number recognition. Maybe this summer I'll figure out some way to make learning letters exciting for him, though he does love the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book, which I strongly recommend.
The games I made were cobbled together in a few minutes with what I had on hand – construction paper and sharpie markers made the game boards – and completely focused on my three-year-old's interests. I made the squares big enough for hot wheels cars, and the goal was to get the hot wheels cars into the "garage" at the end of the game. You could do something similar with My Little Ponies, or small plastic animals, or Paw Patrol figurines, or whatever your child is interested in.
I thought it would be really fun to do a Mr. Elephant game that was the same idea – teaching beginning number concepts (with an add-on addition option). And because I can't draw at all, I got help from illustrator Dow Phumiruk, who designed the game pieces. I have to say, Mr. Elephant might have to go somewhere cold for his next tour, because he looks really adorable snuggled up in a sweater and scarf! The goal is simple – Mr. Elephant's umbrella was blown away in the wind and he's chasing it.

Placówka Straży Celnej "Budy" – jednostka organizacyjna Straży Celnej pełniąca w okresie międzywojennym służbę ochronną na granicy polsko-niemieckiej.

Formowanie i zmiany organizacyjne
Na wniosek Ministerstwa Skarbu, uchwałą z 10 marca 1920 roku, powołano do życia Straż Celną. Od połowy 1921 roku jednostki Straży Celnej rozpoczęły przejmowanie odcinków granicy od pododdziałów Batalionów Celnych. W 1922 roku w Dusocinie stacjonował sztab 2 kompanii 16 batalionu celnego. Kompania wystawiała między innymi placówkę w Budach. Pododdziały 16 batalionu celnego zostały zluzowane przez strażników celnych 14 marca 1922 roku o godzinie 12:00. Proces tworzenia Straży Celnej trwał do końca 1922 roku. Placówka Straży Celnej "Budy" weszła w podporządkowanie komisariatu Straży Celnej "Dusocin" z Inspektoratu SC "Grudziądz".

W drugiej połowie 1927 roku przystąpiono do gruntownej reorganizacji Straży Celnej. W praktyce skutkowało to rozwiązaniem tej formacji granicznej. Ochronę północnej, zachodniej i południowej granicy państwa przejęła powołana z dniem 2 kwietnia 1928 roku Straż Graniczna. W strukturach nowo powstałej formacji nie odtworzono placówki "Budy".

Redox reactions of the non-heme iron in photosystem II: An EPR spectroscopic study
James P. McEvoy, Yale University
Gary W. Brudvig, Yale University
Photosystem II (PSII) contains a non-heme ferrous ion, located on the stromal side of the protein in close proximity to quinones A and B (Q A and QB). We used EPR spectroscopy to examine the temperature-dependent redox reactions of the iron-quinone site, using it as a probe of potentially physiologically relevant proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reactions. Complete chemical oxidation of the non-heme iron at ambient temperatures was followed by cryogenic photoreduction, producing a temperature-dependent yield of Fe2+QA (or Fe 3+QA-)⋯Chl+/Car +/YD• charge separations. These charge separations were subsequently observed to partially recombine in the dark at cryogenic temperatures. We observed no double photochemical charge separations upon illumination at temperatures ≤30 K, demonstrating that QA and Fe3+ together act as a single electron-accepting moiety at very low temperatures. Our results indicate the existence of two populations of the iron-quinone site in PSII, one whose Fe3+ signal is abolished by illumination at liquid helium temperatures and one whose Fe3+ signal is abolished by illumination only above 75 K. The observation of non-heme iron photoreduction at cryogenic temperatures (possibly at liquid helium temperatures and certainly above 75 K) implies the existence of a low reorganization energy proton-transfer (ET) pathway within the protein to the non-heme iron environment, of possible relevance to the PCET reactions of QB and/or the non-heme iron itself. Furthermore, we observed the partial reoxidation of the non-heme iron by charge recombination with previously oxidized chlorophyll, carotenoid, and YD within PSII. This electron transfer might be important in the photoprotective transfer of oxidative power away from P 680+ and the oxygen-evolving complex in stressed PSII centers. © 2008 American Chemical Society.

In under a decade, the modes of content creation and distribution in digital environments have undergone considerable transformations, reconfiguring models traditionally adopted by culture industries. Four features characterize this evolution and the emergence of a "participatory culture" [Jenkins06]. Firstly, users are now urged to produce and distribute their own online content, a characteristic frequently designated by the expressions user-generated content (UGC) or user-created content (UCC) [OECD07]. Moreover, this participation is made easier by the low level of cognitive and technical skill necessary to explore the tools of these new platforms (even if inequalities in access to and appropriation of these tools still remain). This encourages content creation and exchange practices among ordinary users [LeadMiller04]. Thirdly, these mutations are supported by the development of large online communities of users, networked and without a pre-established hierarchal structure [Suro05]. Finally, these transformations have given rise to original economical models [Gensollen06] based on immense aggregations of individual contributions, which are often minimal. Today, the new participatory forms have multiplied, demanding strategic adaptations of several sectors of the culture industries. The general environment in the content market is one of experimentation, while the best ways to ensure profit are still unclear. This is clear in journalism, where all informational products are to be developed in a single location and under renewed environments of information management. Journalists are expected to know how to daily produce content in and across all media, that should also be ready to be distributed through systems of podcasting, sms, rss and blogging. Scientific communication, too, has been transformed with widespread access to and use of the Internet. The volume and rate of exchange of scientific information has increased exponentially.
Our research program proposes to analyse collaborative practices of content creation and exchange, in order to assess how they are transforming public and scientific communication. The following will be analysed through a case-study approach: Online video: its use as a tool for political communication [Losh08]; Citizen journalism: how new technological developments affect the traditional rules of journalism [JPLeCamPe05]; Online scientific networks: joint creation and sharing of scientific knowledge [Mathieu02]; Scientific blogs: the use of blogs in scientific communication [Bradley07]. This project will generate original scientific knowledge on the different participatory forms of online informational and cultural content creation and exchange. In sum, objectives are to trace the social contours of the emergence of online contribution as a unique social form and, secondly, to produce comprehensive descriptions of instances in which technological innovation is transforming public and scientific communication. This project provides the opportunity to establish a partnership between two important research units in each country, Portugal and Canada, strengthening the ties of what has been until now informal and occasional collaboration. The research team in Science, Technology and Society, led by José Luís Garcia, has developed for 15 years studies and reflection on social, economic and political implications of contemporary technology (ICT) ([Garcia06a], [Garcia06b], [Subtil06], [Silva09]). This group has carried out studies on the effects of technological innovation and new management models on the restructuring of the media industry, concepts of information and journalism, journalistic practices, work environment in newsrooms and transformations of the journalistic profession ([MeiGra07], [Garcia09]). The Canadian members of the team have explored the social appropriation of technologies by users, from their initial research on early users of personal computers [Proulx88], to their work on technical cultures and activism ([ProuxLToth00], [GoldCout07]) for more than twenty-five years. Recent research focuses on Internet uses ([Millerand02]; [ProulxCout06]) and new technologies for the sciences [MilleBow09] as well as on questions of the generation and circulation of knowledge in situations of innovation and heterogeneous collaboration ([HeTayEv02], [Heaton05]). Finally, two consultants will contribute their particular expertise, with a more economic approach [Gensollen06] and a focus on the social impact of ICT [Licoppe07].
This project hence continues research already underway. Our interest in understanding the uses of ICT comes together here with the notion of online contribution. It highlights the new dynamics of participatory use in digital environments, simultaneously marked by the convergence of the media and the installation of collaborative platforms as well as by the significance of an open and free culture.
The project aims to trace the social contours of the emergence of online contribution as a unique social form and, secondly, to produce comprehensive descriptions of instances in which technological innovation is transforming public and scientific communication. The research team builds from the hypothesis that behind the diversity present in the cases to be studied, a unity can be found, since collaborative practices share certain common characteristics. Following the latest work being developed on the subject, we seek to identify the specificity of what we refer to as online contribution and what it implies for traditional modes of content production.


It's been a while since I blogged about a book and there's been two reasons for that.
The first is I've been unbelievably busy. Usually I spend at least an hour in the evening reading to unwind no matter how much work I have.
To say I haven't been reading would be wrong, and here's the second reason I haven't blogged and a question for all you bookworms.
I have started about 7 or 8 books since the start of the new year, and I've given up on all of them. I never give up with less than half the book read, I have this thing about giving it a chance, but if it hasn't hooked me by half way through its gone.
There have been various reasons; the story was not good and was going nowhere, the story starts off great then meanders into boring mundane nothingness, the author hasn't done their research and keep making annoying basic mistakes.
I never put anything in them which would be classed as a spoiler.
I try not to comment on anything in the story after the halfway point just in case.
I never pull authors up on technicalities.
If I don't like a story it doesn't mean nobody else will so I don't blog about books I don't like.
There may be an exception to the last rule. I am on a great site called net galley. They ask for negatives as well as positives, and there's a facility for me to talk directly to the publishers and authors so I can explain my thoughts. So if you see any of my posts on that site, the negatives are there because they sent me a book and asked for honest feedback.
So that's why I haven't blogged since Christmas. The good news is work has steadied out and I am back to reading a bit at night.

Change Nothing and Nothing Changes
Tales from a coach working with business owners who are frustrated and ready to throw in the towel
As business owners, we know all too well the emotional roller coaster of running a business. Some years it's feast and other years famine. You may feel like that headless chook running wild wearing one hat, then another, then another. From being the marketer, to the chief relationship officer, to the problem solver, to the politician and the people consoler, the days often go by in a blur. Before we know it, it's the weekend, then the end of the month and before we know it, it's time for that Christmas ham.
Why aren't things changing?
It's no wonder we see a lot of burnout, anxiety and depression in the world of small and medium businesses, let alone around the world. It's sad, but it's true. You might be wondering why things aren't changing. You might find yourself questioning why you ever got into business in the first place. You may even be feeling disheartened, lacking passion and energy and looking for the quickest way out. Or maybe you've just settled into a state of 'it's just the way it is and I need to keep going'.
Do you have a fear of letting go?
Why are you still in chaos after all this time in business? You feel like you've tried everything but nothing changes. Or is it possible that you're not shifting? The truth is, if you're in chaos personally, your business will be too.
You have good people with good skills but you're still doing too much. Could you still be holding on because you have a fear of letting go? It's likely that you're getting in the way of things getting done. Chances are, your best people will leave as they will be frustrated too.
Do you find yourself thinking "I have no time for myself, I'm feeling so overwhelmed and have so much on"? It's important to remember small changes can make a big impact, so take charge and set up your ideal week. It will never be perfect, but it is better than not making any changes at all.
Why communication is key
Do you often feel like the people in your team are not stepping up? That they can do so much more but they only want to do the bare minimum? Is it possible they haven't been given enough direction and/or training?
Sometimes you might assume that everyone knows what to do or you have the view "Why should I tell people what to do, isn't that common sense?" The reality is that you may not have communicated nearly enough, so your team is doing the best they can with what they know. So, as a leader, are you really leading or have you abdicated that responsibility because it's too hard?
Change starts with you
The landscape is changing rapidly and who knows what the new normal will really look like. If you're wanting things to change or be different, wanting the change is only the first step. Real change starts within you first and it's making the decision that the current state of play is just not acceptable. Once you've made that decision, then you need to be prepared to do what it takes to make the shift. It won't be easy but each action step you take will get you out of where you currently are and on the road to where you want to be.
At Your Business Momentum, we believe in growth through learning and taking action.
If you need help and are ready for change, drop us a note at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Because accepting the status quo just isn't good enough!

Tech tries to free itself from Cyclones' grip
A good many football coaches who have taken over downtrodden programs would like to know Matt Campbell's secret to success.
After going 3-9 in his first year at Iowa State, Campbell has led the Cyclones to a 25-17 record the past three-plus seasons and posted a winning record in the Big 12 three years in a row.
That's something Texas Tech coach Matt Wells would like to emulate. The two coaches and the two programs will see each other up close again Saturday when No. 24 Iowa State (2-1, 2-0 in the Big 12) hosts Tech (1-2, 0-2).
Kickoff at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, comes at 2:30 p.m. and ABC has the telecast.
Campbell's team beat Wells' team for the first time last year at Jones AT&T Stadium, making Campbell 4-0 against the Red Raiders. The Cyclones are looking like early contenders for a spot in the Big 12 championship game. Since getting upset in their opener by Louisiana-Lafayette, they've won close games against TCU and Oklahoma.
"It's something that I think as a coach coming into a new program you look at and say, 'That's who we need to be like,' because of the consistency and the toughness and the things that they do," Wells said this week. "I believe that we will get there.
"But that's something that from a coaching standpoint, when you flip the tape on, you have a lot of respect for them. That started last year when we faced them for the first time and continues now today."
The Cyclones with third-year starting quarterback Brock Purdy, Big 12 rushing leader Breece Hall and an array of physically imposing and versatile tight ends pose problems for Tech defensive coordinator Keith Patterson.
Hall ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns in last year's game, and Purdy has thrown three touchdown passes to the 6-foot-6, 257-pound Kolar the past two years against Tech.
"I think this year we'll put bigger guys on him," Patterson said, referring to 6-4, 220-pound outside linebacker Jacob Morgenstern. "I think we match up a little bit better than what we did a year ago.
"It isn't just Kolar. To me, what's the biggest difference in their offense this year? It's Breece Hall. He's bigger by about 25 pounds. He doesn't even look like the same guy."
Even if Tech can slow the Cyclones, the Red Raiders still have to find a way to score, and they've had tough sledding in that regard. Campbell brought defensive coordinator Jon Heacock with him to Iowa State, and the Cyclones have ranked first, second or third in the Big 12 in scoring defense the past three years with average yields in the low- to mid-20s points range.
In its four-game losing streak against Iowa State, Tech has averaged 19.5 points with its four quarterbacks throwing three touchdown passes and six interceptions. Not even NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes was immune, slogging through a 66-10 loss four years ago in Ames.
The Cyclones have confounded Big 12 opponents by getting pressure from a three-man front and having aggressive and decisive linebacker play.
"Structurally what they do, they do it very, very well," Tech offensive coordinator David Yost said. "They consistently are putting their guys in position to be successful with their 5-technique (defensive end) and the noseguard, and then their linebackers play so downhill.
"They get a lot of one-on-one blocking is what they get you into, which gives them a chance to defeat their man and make a play. They've done that at a pretty high rate."
Tech quarterback Alan Bowman left last week's 31-21 loss at Kansas State with an ankle injury early, and Henry Colombi played the rest of the way. Whichever one starts Saturday will face a Cyclones rush that leads the Big 12 with 11 sacks.

Gun rights activist arrested after taking rifle into restaurant
Ponca City Now - November 13, 2019 11:47 am
Timothy A. Harper
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – A gun rights activist accused of illegally taking a rifle into an Oklahoma City restaurant is facing a felony charge.
Police say 52-year-old Timothy A. Harper violated a state law that bars possessing or carrying a rifle in any establishment where alcoholic beverages are consumed. He was arrested Tuesday.
A police affidavit shows prosecutors have agreed to charge Harper. If convicted, he faces up to two years in prison and a $1,000 fine.
The Oklahoman reports that Harper told another activist in an online interview Monday that he took his rifle into Twin Peaks Nov. 2 in celebration of Oklahoma's new permitless carry gun law.
Police say he was asked to leave the restaurant.
Harper, of Choctaw, is being held at the county jail. No bail has been set.

Parents of student killed in bus crash sue school district
The parents of Marc Chaplin, who died November 2 of last year when his motorcycle collided with a school bus are suing Horry County School District for failing to release public records. Rodney and Cathleen Chaplin filed a Freedom of Information Act request for documents and they were never produced.
Chaplin's motorcycle crashed with a school bus driven by Michael Joseph Burns, 77. Burns was charged with failing to yield right-of-way in the crash. He has now requested a jury trial in the case. The crash occurred around 8:10 am on November 2 as the bus turned onto northbound S.C. 31 ramp at Robert Grissom Parkway. Chaplin, who was a senior at the Academy of Arts, Sciences and Technology, was on his way to school on International Drive. No students were on the bus at the time of the crash as Burns was returning to North Myrtle Beach High School after dropping students off at the academy.

j) animals that have specific narrations that prohibit Muslims from killing it, such as frogs.
Aquatic animals are those that live in water and cannot survive outside it, such as fish. All aquatic animals are Halal except for those that are poisonous, intoxicating or hazardous to health.
There has been a misconception with the Halal status of crabs. The popular belief is that certain kinds of crabs are non-Halal since it can live both on land and water. This is not true as crabs can either live on land or water, but not both. Land crabs cannot survive long in water and aquatic crabs cannot survive long on land. Hence, crabs do not belong to the category of animals that can survive on both habitats: land and water. That being the case, all crabs are Halal, as long as it is not poisonous or harmful to humans.
Just like aquatic animals, all types of plants products are Halal except for those that are poisonous, intoxicating or hazardous to health.
It is imperative to note that although plants are generally Halal, it is important to know how it is being prepared. Truffle, for example, is Halal in its raw state. However, the process of extraction is doubtful due to the common use of either hogs/pigs or dogs to sniff and then extract the truffle from the ground. Likewise for Vegetarian food: all types of plants in its raw state is Halal, however, if it is prepared using non-Halal ingredients, the food becomes non-Halal.
All kinds of beverages are Halal, except those that are poisonous, intoxicating or hazardous to health and that are mixed with Najis such as alcoholic beverages and flavouring wines.
1)	Even though the products contain low alcohol content (less than 0.5%) and/or have zero alcohol content and/or have its alcohol removed, the process of manufacturing the products is similar to the manufacturing of alcohol (khamr1). Thus, it is Haram even though the small amount of alcohol in the products does not cause an individual to be intoxicated.
2)	The products are being marketed in a manner that is similar to alcoholic beverages. Islam forbids an event that has resemblance or events that can lead to Haram activities, even though, in its' natural state, is permissible. This is aligned with a principle in the Sharia' known as sad al-zari'ah2.
All Halal products that are stored, displayed, sold or served should be categorised and should be labelled as Halal or lawful at every stage of the process so as to prevent it from being mixed or contaminated with things that are non-Halal.
d)	During its preparation, processing, storage or transportation, it should be fully separated from any other food that does not meet the requirements specified in items (a), (b) and/or (c) or any other things that are considered as Najis by Shariah Law.
Hygiene is given much emphasis in Islam. It includes the various aspects of personal hygiene, clothing, equipment and the working premises for processing or manufacture of food. The objective is to ascertain that the food produced is hygienic and not hazardous to health.
'Hygienic' can be defined as free from Najis, contamination and harmful germs. All foods should be prepared, processed, packaged, transported and stored in such a manner that they are in compliance with hygiene and sanitary requirements of the relevant authorities.
1 khamr – An intoxicating drink containing ethanol & other components such as methanol, acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate which is produced by fermentation of carbohydrates or drinks containing ethanol and/or methanol as ingredient.
2 Sadd al-dhara'i'means, literally, "blocking the means", i.e. to undesirable ends, in other words, forbidding what is likely to lead to the haram. The basis of this principle is contained in the Qur'an where Allah says: "Do not swear at those who call on other gods than Allah, so that they will then swear at Allah in enmity, without any knowledge. …." (Q.6:108). Allah has thus made it haram to swear at the gods of others, to avoid them cursing back at Allah. Another example usually highlighted by our past scholars like Imam An-Nawawi, is the issue of accepting and giving gifts for officials. Even though the act of giving a gift itself in essence is virtuous, hence permissible, scholars clearly discouraged those holding on to official posts to accept gifts from the public, as it could be perceived as a bribe. Please refer to: al-Asyqar, Sulaiman 'Abdullah, al-Wadih fi Usual al-Fiqh, (Amman: Dar al-Salam, 2001) 159.

6-yr-old Boy Discovers Rare Canaanite Tablet in Terrific Condition
Jun 10, 2020 Ian Harvey
6-yr-old Imri Elya was awarded a "good citizenship" certificate for discovering a small Canaanite tablet near an Israeli archaeological site. (Emil Aladjem, Israel Antiquities Authority)
It is a lucky day indeed when a young boy in Israel discovers a Bronze Age Canaanite tablet depicting two men locked in a strange pose together. Before virtually the whole world went into lockdown for months, family hikes in Israel were a common activity for Imri Elya, a six-year-old boy who lives in the country's south. He and his family would go walking along the Gaza border, and like most six year olds, Imri would be on the lookout for unusual rocks and other finds that stoke the imagination of young boys.
With the total focus and curiosity that only children his age possess, Imri would cast his keen eye along the path, seeking things that might be odd or might be commonplace, but would mean something to him. It was in early March, before Israel joined the world in lockdown, that the family was out for their regular hike when Imri spotted something extraordinary.
He picked up what at first looked like a common stone. However, he soon realized the tiny, 1.1 inch rock was not a rock at all, as it had carvings that depicted a man herding another man, a captor and captive, drawn into the surface of the stone. After showing his parents, they decided to get in touch with the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA), which quickly confirmed that Imri's discovery was anything but an ordinary stone.
The tablet found (Israel Antiquities Authorities)
Experts realized that Imri had found a 3,500 year old tiny Canaanite tablet, probably from the late Bronze Age. Upon examination, they told the Times Of Israel that the etching is of a man leading another man who is naked and cowed, quite possibly a prisoner, on a leash-like attachment. The rare tablet is called a Canaanite because it is from the time when the area was known as Canaan, and was ruled by Egypt.
According to Saar Ganor, an archaeologist with the Authority, the small treasure was probably a token of victory, one that a soldier or guard may have worn on his belt or had set into furniture to display. Ganor explained that back then, the opposing sides were "…all fighting over the same things we fight over today — water, land, etc."
Six-year-old Imri Elya. (Emil Aladjem, Israel Antiquities Authority)
He went on to explain to the Times that whomever owned the tablet probably had several of them made from one mold, and used them as a kind of visual boast about his victories. In the drawing, it clearly shows that the captor is hale and hearty, with a full head of curly hair and a robust body. The prisoner, however, is thin and drawn, and has clearly been subjected to beatings and other punishments. These tablets were a common kind of decor back then for many men in the military and those who served as jailers and guards.

Imri probably didn't fully understand the significance of his discovery until his parents spoke with the IAA. Shortly thereafter, because Imri displayed such great civic mindedness by turning the antiquity over instead of squirreling it away, he was rewarded with a Citizen's Award by the government and the IAA. No doubt Imri will continue to hunt for more rare treasures once he is able to walk freely again along the border.

Although his outdoor activities may be suspended for the moment, his boyish curiosity undoubtedly has not been hampered; if anything, he may be dreaming of the next hike during which he can use his laser like focus to find other rare, important antiquities. Until then, Imri will have to content himself with books, and of course online sources that offer endless information about Israel's ancient history, culture, and opportunities for archaeological discoveries.

Mark I. Cohen is an experienced NYC Grand Larceny attorney who represents defendants charged with Grand Larceny and Petty Larceny crimes in New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx) and New York State Courts since 1990.
Generally, in order to be convicted of larceny in New York State, the prosecutor must prove that the accused took, obtained, or withheld property from the owner with the intent to deprive the owner of the property or to appropriate the property for himself, herself or a third party.
The New York State Penal Code codifies Petit Larceny (PL 155.25) and Grand Larceny crimes in the First Degree (PL155.42) Second Degree (PL 155.40) Third Degree (PL 155.35) and Fourth Degree (PL 155.30). Generally, the amount of the alleged theft is what determines whether Petit Larceny or Grand Larceny is charged, and the degree of Grand Larceny.
Petit Larceny is a class A misdemeanor and carries a maximum sentence of up to 1 year in city jail. Petit larceny charges can often be resolved by way of an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal ("ACD") and other dispositions ending in no criminal record being imposed.
Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree, a class E felony, is charged when the value of stolen property exceeds $1000. It is also charged where the stolen property consists of certain types of public records, writings, instruments; secret scientific materials; credit cards or debit cards; firearms; a motor vehicle with a value in excess of $100; certain access devices; certain chemicals. Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree can also be charged if the property is taken from the person of another without the threat or use of physical force. For first time offenders, Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree carries up to 4 years in prison for first time offenders.
Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, a class D felony, is charged when the value of stolen property exceeds $3000.00 or where the property consists of an ATM machine or the contents thereof. Grand Larceny in the Third Degree carries a sentence of up to 7 years in prison for first time offenders.
Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a class C felony, is charged when the value of stolen property exceeds $50,000.00. Grand Larceny in the Second Degree carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison for a first-time offender.
Grand Larceny in the First Degree, a class B felony, is charged when the value of stolen property exceeds $1,000,000.00. Grand Larceny in the First Degree carries up to 25 years in prison with a mandatory minimum of 8 1/3 years in prison.
During his 28 years of criminal defense practice in New York City and New York State, Mr. Cohen has mastered the procedural and substantive law pertaining to larceny crimes and the most effective methods of representing defendants charged with Grand Larceny and Petit Larceny crimes in New York.
If you have been charged with Grand Larceny or Petit Larceny in New York City or New York State, you should contact Mark I. Cohen, an experienced NYC Grand Larceny attorney, to maximize your chances of preserving your freedom, reputation, and assets.

Being the son of the New York Philharmonic concertmaster
The composer John Corigliano grew up in the house of the toughest violinist in the toughest town on earth.
His father was hired by Toscanini and stayed on for 26 years, through to the Bernstein era.
'He didn't want me to be a composer,' says Corigliano, 'he felt I was only dooming myself to a miserable life.'
In the latest episode of Living the Classical Life, John tells Zsolt Bognar about their complicated relationship, about losing 100 friends to Aids, about stage fright, and much else. John Corigliano turned 80 this year.
Watch the full interview:
John Corigliano – Living the Classical Life: Episode 60 from Elyria Pictures on Vimeo.
I was fortunate to be in the orchestra (Eastman Philharmonia conducted by David Effron) for the first recording of the Pied Piper Fantasy and Voyage (both of which I love), with Galway as the soloist. It is one of my dearest memories from my time at Eastman.
William Evans says:
Mr Corigliano seems a very modest and clearly thoughtful individual. As a non-musician, I find Mr Bognar's occasional interviews always to be interesting.
Mark Henriksen says:
I agree, he does a great job with the interviews.
David Dyer says:
I hadn't known Fortunato Arico had died of AIDS, very sad to hear it. Such a loss.
Scott MacClelleand says:
A frequent composer-in-residence at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, John admitted to me that he was much closer to his mother than to his aloof taskmaster father. It's not an unfamiliar story among artists–much less fathers and sons everywhere.

EN ROUTE TO OFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
inOFC Champions League 2019
Since their qualification, Tupapa Maraerenga has been preparing themselves for the OFC champions league 2019 – Group stage. The club which qualified for the tournament at the beginning of the month will travel to Honiara where they will play Solomon Warriors, AS Magenta and Auckland City FC in group D of the OFC champions league 2019.
On Wednesday 13th February, the team received a generous donation from the Tupapa Sports Association to help with their preparations and help them in their travels to the OFC Champions League. The team flies out on Tuesday 19th February and will arrive as one of the underdogs of the tournament, they will, however, still play with pride and will fight for a place in the knock-out stage.
The tournament will be played similar to the one held here last month with each team playing three games over one week, in hopes of taking one of the top two spots in the pool. The top two teams will qualify for the knock-out stage where they will play teams from other pools and go on to play for the Championship.
Tupapa Maraerenga's first game will kick off at 7 pm on the 23rdof February, local time, against the group's hosts Solomon Warriors. Solomon Warriors is one of the more successful teams in the "S-League" Solomon League, having won the most recent titles since 2011 with four engravings on the trophy. They have also not fallen below fourth place on their eight-team ladder during that same period, indicating that they are a reasonably dominant club in that league.
Tupapa's second game will be played against the tournament's most successful team, Auckland City FC, who has won the OFC champions league nine times. Auckland City and Tupapa have played each other before and the results have ended up the same each time, with Auckland City finding the back of the net more times than our local team. Tupapa will play Auckland City FC on the 26th February at 4 pm Local time.
Lastly, Tupapa Maraerenga will play AS Magenta at 4 pm on the 1st March in their final game. AS Magenta is a solid side to go head to head with. The New Caledonian champs hold 15 titles to their name in their country and are the most successful team there.
Tupapa Maraerenga FC has found themselves in a hard pool, meaning that they will have a lot of work ahead of them.

Canada will receive 249K COVID-19 vaccines in Dec
Canada will receive 24K COVID-19 vaccines in Dec . China News Service, Toronto, December 7 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) When the COVID-19 epidemic is too slow to subdue, the Canadian government sent a "resting pill" on December 7 to announce that it will obtain the first batch of 249,000 doses of COVID-19 virus vaccine within this month.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the media in Ottawa that the country is about to launch "the largest ever" vaccination campaign.
The vaccine is a new coronavirus vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and BioNTech. The Canadian government emphasized that the prerequisite for vaccine delivery and vaccination is that the vaccine must be approved by the Canadian Ministry of Health.
Pfizer, the Canadian Public Health Agency, the Canadian military, and various provinces and regions are cooperating to complete the preparations for the first point of use within this week, including training on how to handle the vaccine. 14 vaccine distribution centers have been established nationwide.
Canadian officials have pre-ordered up to 76 million doses of this vaccine. The 249,000 doses of vaccine that arrived early will also arrive in Canada in batches. These vaccines are expected to be given priority to vulnerable groups such as the elderly and staff living in long-term care facilities, and the specifics are planned by the provinces themselves. This vaccine needs to be vaccinated twice.
However, the vaccine must be transported and stored at minus 70 degrees Celsius. Trudeau acknowledged that the requirements for the cold chain are a big challenge.
The Canadian federal government has purchased 126 special freezers for storing vaccines, including 26 freezers that can store ultra-low temperature vaccines. Currently, 9 ultra-low temperature freezers have arrived.
Pfizer submitted an application for approval of the vaccine to the Canadian Ministry of Health on October 9. The Canadian government recently stated that the approval results are expected to be announced soon. In addition, three vaccines from AstraZeneca, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are also awaiting approval by the Canadian government.
The head of the German Biotech Company recently told the Canadian media that once the vaccine is approved in Canada, it will be shipped within 24 hours.
The Canadian government has so far pre-purchased approximately 414 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine from many pharmaceutical companies around the world.
As of the evening of December 7, Canada has reported a total of more than 423,000 cases, nearly 339,000 recovered, 12,777 deaths, and 71,542 active cases.

communities in Idaho and Montana. My family moved more than 20 times as I grew up. Born the fifth of eight children, I grew up with a ready supply of playmates who are still among my closest friends. I married Boyd Hansen and we became the parents of five children of our own and three foster children.
We've made our home in Utah since our marriage.
I graduated from Ricks College in Idaho, then continued my education at Westminster College in Utah after my oldest child was married and my youngest was in high school. I have been a receptionist, a model, a Utah House page, freelance magazine writer, newspaper reporter, editor, librarian, mother and grandmother.
including the 1978 Second place national award for Page Editing were highlights of my journalism years.
I was the 1997 third place winner of the URWA Heart of the West Writers Contest. In 2008 I received the Bronze Trumpet Award from my publisher, Covenant Communications, and in March of 2008 I was honored by the LDStorymakers at their Whitney Gala with the 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award.
served a term on the Kearns Town Council, and two terms on the Salt Palace Advisory Board, and was a delegate to the White House Conference on Libraries and Information Services.
All of our children are now married and have so far provided us with ten grandchildren, eight grandsons and two granddaughters.
Jennie:When I was seven years old I read an article in a farm magazine about a cat. I thought my cat was a lot smarter than the one I read about so I wrote an article about my cat and sent it to the magazine. A few weeks later the magazine sent me a check and published my story. There was never a time after that when I didn't want to be a writer.
Jennie: My educational background involves ten different schools. I have degrees in English, Communications, and Business from Westminster College. The magazine I wrote that first article for invited me to write occasional stories for them until I was eighteen. In high school I helped start the school's first newspaper for which we received a state award. I wrote a few articles for newspapers and literary magazines while in college. A few years after leaving Ricks College, I went to work for Stahle Publishing ( aweekly newspaper consortium) as a reporter and eventually editor. I also did some free lance writing with articles appearing in the Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, AP, and several magazines including The Ensign. I joined the National Federation of Press Women and received numerous journalism awards from them and from the Utah Press Association. My first novel was published in 1993 and I just signed a contract for my twenty-second novel. I also have short stories in several compilations. In addition, I write a weekly review column for a national LDS online magazine, Meridian.
Jennie: I love books and stories. My mother and my older sister and brothers read to me when I was little and taught me to read. I thought it was the most remarkable thing to be able to do. I had rheumatic fever later as a child and spent a long time recovering; books were my greatest friends. I also became interested in politics and the workings of communities at an early age. Together with my interest in writing, I turned to journalism. It was only when my growing family interfered with my mobility to cover news stories that I left journalism and went to work for the Salt Lake City Library System. I loved being around books, but the little bit of technical writing I did at that time and an occasional magazine article didn't satisfy my need to write so I began a novel and have been writing novels ever since.
Jennie: I submitted my first couple of novels to a New York publisher and got a favorable response, but I was uncomfortable with the changes they wanted me to make in my manuscript. While I was wondering what to do, I met the editor of Covenant Publishing at the library and told her about my concerns. She asked to see one of the manuscripts. I sent it to her and three weeks later she offered me a contract. She also requested a few changes, but they were ones I was eager to make. About the time Run Away Home, my first book was released, I learned I had cancer. During that traumatic time I received a strong impression that I should use my writing ability to entertain and strengthen others faith in God.
Jennie: Yes, Not enough time, fatigue, and a feeling I'm not as good as I'd like to be have left me feeling discouraged many times. A smaller than expected royalty check can be discouraging. Negative comments about one of my books will leave me feeling depressed. I don't have a particular formula for dealing with occasional discouragment unless it's the same rule my Dad taught for riding a hores. When you get bucked off, climb back on and try it again.
Jennie: I used to get up at five o'clock in the morning to write before work, then write late at night. Now I don't work outside of my home and my children are all raised and on their own, so theoretically I can write when I want. It really doesn't work that way though, I serve two days a week in the temple, then have just four days to shop, clean house, garden, be a wife, mother, and grandmother, and read a ton of books which I review for Meridian Magazine.
Jennie:Some of my book ideas were triggered by a news story I once covered and some are just ideas that have popped into my head. It never occurred to me that an idea wouldn't be good enough to write a book about. Any topic can be built up and added to until it becomes a story.
Jennie: I hope they'll be entertained, that they'll see the possibilities in our own culture, that they'll be more tolerant of people who are different from themselves, and that their faith in God and our older Brother will be reaffirmed and strengthened.
Jennie:I'm inconsistent. Sometimes I outline, sometimes I just write, and other times I outline a section at a time. I research the same way; sometimes immersing my self completely in an era or situation, other times just researching what I need when I need it.
Jennie: Of course, I think all writers have times when the story just won't come together. Some forms of writers' block can be handled by writing something totally different for awhile, taking a walk, going for a run, scrubbing the kitchen floor, or doing some other physical activity. Most of the time I can get past it if I just sit down and write anyway even if I change most of it later.
Jennie: I enjoy the luxury of quiet now, but for years I wrote in a noisy news office at work and in a room with a piano, TV, and at least five teenagers at home. I find listening to music while I work annoying.
Jennie: Probably just observation of the people and world around me.
Jennie: My English Seminar teacher my senior year of high school probably did more than anyone else to introduce me to the realities and disciplines of writing as well as instilling in me confidence that I could really succeed as a writer. An adult education class I took when I switched from journalism to fiction led to joining a critique group. Between that class and the group I learned the basics of fiction writing. I've been fortunate through the years to work with some really great editors and enjoy the friendship of the most talented, generous friends who also happen to be writers. My husband's unfailing faith in my ability and his willingness to pick up the slack in other parts of our life when I'm deeply involved or facing a deadline has made all the difference in the world.
Jennie: In my head they are real, so all I have to do is pay attention to their emotions, actions, and preferences. It also helps to keep a character notebook where I record every character's name, physical description, and special characteristics.
Jennie: I admire the work of so many writers I don't know where to begin listing them. Since I began reviewing LDS fiction about ten years ago, I've discovered I can find something good in almost every book I read, even in the genre's I'm not particularly fond of, and I can also find something that isn't so good. I have favorites, but since I'm a critic and a reviewer I think it wouldn't be a good idea to list them. There are some writers I love and admire personally and some whose work I admire though they or their lifestyle don't appeal to me. Past writers who have greatly influenced me include William Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, William Faulkner, Leon Uris, Henrik Ibson, Jeanne Williams, M. M. Kaye, Pearl S. Buck, Louis L'Amore, George Eliot, and who knows how many others.
Jennie: Chocolate chips and raisins, but I really am trying to avoid snacking.
Jennie: Who has time for hobbies? I love the outdoors and look forward to fishing with my son-in-law. My husband and I like to garden. I enjoy plays, Jazz basketball, and spending time with my grandchildren.
Jennie: Read! Write something every day. Get involved with a critique group, a guild, or writers' group of some kind. Follow the submission rules most publishers post on their web pages.
Jennie: I have a murder mystery under contract with a tentative release date about a year out and I' working on a pair of companion historical westerns.
Jennie: Some of my books are out of print, but most can be found at Seagull Book Stores or Deseret Book. Even some of the out of print ones can be located on Amazon.
Jennie: In my experience I would say holding a book in your hands with your name displayed prominently on the cover as the author is the closest a person can get to that heady feeling of creation without giving birth. Receiving a letter from someone who credits your book with turning a life around is one of the most satisfying and humbling experiences a writer is privileged to have. Other writers are some of the most fascinating, fun, courageous, interesting friends I've ever known. Being a writer is one of the greatest satisfactions of my life.
Thanks! It was fun and a privilege to be interviewed for your blog.
Great interview! It's fun to hear about successful authors.
Loved this interview! Jennie--you are amazing and an inspiration to me. I loved the final words because I think it envelops the feelings anyone can have when they accomplish a dream or goal.
Always impressive and inspiring! Thanks!

Elleebana Brow Henna – The next generation in eyebrow tinting.
The way Elleebana Henna works on the hair and skin structure is incredibly unique in comparison to tinting. Tinting uses an oxidant to open the cuticle of the hair and allows color to penetrate the brow hairs cortex through the oxidation process. Henna on the other hand, acts like a blanket over the hair and provides a coating to the hair shaft, coating the top layers of the hair cuticle only. As the brow cuticle has a scale like finish this coating smooths out the finish, almost like buffing out the hair imperfections to give the appearance of a thicker, softer and smoother hair and eyebrow.
The process of brow henna using the Elleebana brand does not require an oxidant or hydrogen peroxide to activate the color or to oxidize the color through the hair shaft and as the product is plant based this natural alternative is a great option for those with sensitivities or who prefer the finish of a skin stain through their brow.
