One of the biggest problems you will face when you have been in a car accident is dealing with the insurance company. Insurance companies are famous for denying benefits, forgetting types of compensation, and pushing for an early settlement to cut their losses. Ultimately, it seems like they will try their best to exasperate the claim in an effort to get out of paying.
Unfortunately, these insurers get away with this type of behavior because accident victims are already frustrated and stressed out by the car accident itself. They are dealing with injuries, financial losses and even loss of the use of their car. These victims are easy to agitate, and this is why the insurance company will begin to push for a settlement as quickly as possible.
The following tips are ways for a person to cut out some of the red tape and be more successful when filing an accident claim.
The very first thing that you will need to do is hire an attorney to protect your rights as a victim. Your attorney will know exactly what you are entitled to receive under the law as a form of compensation for your losses. The attorney will not allow the insurance company to "forget" or undercut your compensation.
The insurance company is going to try and get you state facts that can be twisted around to suit their needs. They will also try and convince you that you need to settle now or that the process will take years. Never give an oral or written statement without your attorney. When the insurer requests your information, refer them to your lawyer; they must comply with this request.
The insurance company will look at missed appointments and unfilled prescriptions as a sign that you are not interested in treatment or no longer require medical attention. This can stop your case dead in its tracks. Always follow medical advice and treatments as prescribed.
You need to document your expenses due to the accident, including time missed from work, mileage to doctor visits, and any over-the-counter medications purchased to treat the injuries. Keep a diary of your health and injuries and how they are progressing. Everything you track will be beneficial to your case.
Insurance companies now have entire departments monitoring social media. They are looking for anything that you post that could lead to your case being dismissed and your claim denied. If you must talk about the accident or your injuries in any way, keep it very bland. Save the details for when you speak face-to-face. Remember: everything you post is public information and what you post can and will be used against you.
By following these steps and allowing your personal injury attorney to manage the case, you will have a very successful car accident claim and not have to worry about the insurance company making your lie chaotic. It is very important to remember that only your attorney will have your best interest in mind. The insurance company is only watching their profit margin.

MoneyTO launched money transfers to Nigeria
by NM Press
in Corporate Press Releases
The London based remittance operator MoneyTO announced a launch of money transfers to Nigeria. The transfers can be made from the UK and EU countries fee-free. The recipients will get the transfer straight to their bank accounts in Nigeria.
According to the World Bank, Nigeria is one of the six largest recipients of remittances in the world, attracting $24 billion in 2019, which made up 5% of the country's GDP. Over the past six years remittances made by Nigerian expats have increased by more than 126%. About 20% of the total volume of remittances to Nigeria are sent from the UK, followed by Italy, Spain, Germany, Ireland, etc. As stated in a PwC report, the growth of remittances to Nigeria is expected to soar to $29.8 billion in 2021.
"Launching Nigeria fee-free money transfers is a significant breakthrough for MoneyTO brand. We look forward to being of service to the Nigerian communities in the United Kingdom as well as in the countries of the European Union", says MoneyTO founder George Piskov.
Why the M-Pesa miracle has failed to work in Nigeria
Remittances with MoneyTO can be sent online via Visa and MasterCard in GBP and EUR. The recipient will receive the transfer in Nigerian Naira (NGN). MoneyTo offers one of the best exchange rate on the market. For instance, when sending GBP 300 with any other service, the addressee receives NGN 150 710 on average, with MoneyTo the amount will be NGN 156 018.
The recipient can receive money to any account in Nigeria at the following banks: Access Bank Plc, Fidelity Bank Plc, First City Monument Bank, First Bank of Nigeria, Guaranty Trust Bank plc, Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, United Bank for Africa Plc, Zenith Bank Plc, etc.

Q: I am 19 years old and will be a sophomore in college this fall. I major in Criminal Justice and hope to one day become a law enforcement officer. I am 6 feet tall, 170 pounds, and in the worst shape of my life. I had back surgery for a herniated disc in January and haven't worked out since.
While browsing articles on law enforcement fitness, I read a piece you wrote for bodybuilding.com. I loved it. My surgeon has advised me to stay away from heavy deadlifts and squats for a long time. Basically, anything that could reherniate my disc is a big no no. In regards to the workout you listed, is there anything I could replace "high risk back" exercises with?
My goal is to become as agile as I used to be, and I would also like to put on a few more pounds of muscle.
My Answer: If you want to remove the deadlift and back squat from the RTC program, then I suggest you substitute cable pull-throughs and Bulgarian squats. You will not add on as much muscle with these exercises, but the RTC program will be tough on you even with these substitutions.
Below is the program without deadlifts and back squats, but with cable pull-throughs and Bulgarian squats. I've kept the front squats in the program, since the front squat does not stress the lower back as much as the back squat.
Rest three minutes, and then repeat compound set two more times.
Rest three minutes, and then repeat the giant set two more times.
Rest two minutes, and then repeat the entire process two more times.

Teachers chosen for program with GWU
Teachers chosen for program that will develop the next generation of school leaders
Fourteen teachers have been chosen for Gaston County Schools' new partnership with Gardner-Webb University that will help develop the next generation of school leaders.
The teachers will be involved in a 20-month program of study, completing 36 credit hours and obtaining a master's degree in school administration. They will progress through the coursework together as a cohort with a blend of online classes and in-person meetings. The classes focus on topics such as executive leadership, resource management, curriculum development, and research and assessment.
More than 50 teachers applied for the opportunity. The following teachers were chosen:
▪ Savanna Abernathy, Bessemer City Central Elementary School
▪ Laura Benson, Grier Middle School
▪ Woodrow Boyles, Highland School of Technology
▪ Daphne Jordan, Carr Elementary School
▪ Shylane Laing Jordan, Grier Middle School
▪ Angie Molla, Catawba Heights Elementary School
▪ Emily Morton, Lowell Elementary School
▪ Wanda Reid, Warlick Academy
▪ Monica Sherer, Costner Elementary School
▪ Meghann Sneed, John Chavis Middle School
▪ Paris Suttenfield, Lowell Elementary School
▪ Jordan Wallace, Holbrook Middle School
▪ Heather Ulep Waters, South Point High School
▪ Marcia White, Robinson Elementary School
With the degree in hand, the teachers will be candidates to take on administrative positions in Gaston County Schools such as assistant principal, dean of students, curriculum/academic facilitator, and lead/content teacher. According to Superintendent of Schools W. Jeffrey Booker, the school district is taking steps now to prepare promising educators for leadership roles.
Dr. Booker said, "We estimate that more than two thirds of the school administrators in Gaston County Schools already have 20 or more years of service, which means they can retire sometime in the next 10 years. This is why we must act now to identify, train, and develop school administrators. We have to invest in our workforce today so our schools will have leaders tomorrow."
The opportunity for teachers to earn a master's degree from Gardner-Webb is offered through the Superintendent's Leadership Academy. Tuition is free for the teachers who are chosen for the program; participants have to pay for books, which will be about $200 a semester. Through the partnership, Gardner-Webb and the school district will split the cost to pay for the participants' tuition, which is estimated at $20,000 per teacher.
"Sometimes, teachers have an interest in becoming a school administrator and show promise of being an excellent one, but they do not have the financial resources to pay for a master's degree," explained Dr. Booker. "This partnership takes the financial burden out of the equation so teachers can work toward fulfilling their educational career goals."
Dr. Booker concluded, "We are extremely grateful for Gardner-Webb University's commitment to helping us train and develop future school leaders. This new program is a win-win for Gaston County Schools and Gardner-Webb University, and we look forward to seeing how it benefits our teachers, our schools, and our community."

Q: android - Use text from EditText in activity1 on button in activity2 I want the button in activity2 to show the text that was entered in EditText in activity1. This is my first app using more than one activity so  I may just be trying to pass things wrong. I've tried setting the button text to the direct EditText value by saving it but that didn't work right. Any direction would be much appreciated!
activity1
start_day is called when the button in activity1 is pressed. It sends the app into activity2.
public class AddTasksActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public final static String taskOne = "Task One Content";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_tasks);
    }

    public void start_day(View view){
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, DayTasksActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("taskOne", taskOne);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

activity2
Currently the button shows the text from activity1 "Task One Content." So I'm doing something right in passing things around but I can't seem to get anything but that working and I haven't quite found anything like this yet.
public class DayTasksActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_day_tasks);

        Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
        String taskOne = bundle.getString("taskOne");

        Button buttonTaskOne = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_task_one);
        buttonTaskOne.setText(taskOne);
    }
}

A: *

*First give the id to your views in layout files

*Then instantiate your views in respective Activity class

*Then get he text from edit text and save it in bundle and pass it

*get the value from the bundle in second activity

*set the value in button

Activity1
public class AddTasksActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private EditText myEditText;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_tasks);
    myEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.put_your_id_here_form_layout_file);
}

public void start_day(View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, DayTasksActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("taskOne", myEditText.getText().toString());
    startActivity(intent);
 }
}

Activity2
public class AddTasksActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private Button buttonTaskOne;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_day_tasks);
    buttonTaskOne = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_task_one);
    Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
    String taskOne = bundle.getString("taskOne");
    if (taskOne != null){
        buttonTaskOne.setText(taskOne);
    }
 }
}

A: It is best that you use android studio. Because android studio takes care of the manifest file for you. and in eclipse you have to do the manifest part your self (defining the new activity in the manifest). @rahul made a good answer but i think that if it is just a string, it is better to use the putExtra and getExtra mehods and not using the bundle. here is a little bit different code:
first activity is MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

public Button btn;
public String str;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    final EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et);

    Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {

            if(!et.getText().toString().equals(""))

            str = et.getText().toString();

            Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Main2Activity.class);
            i.putExtra("key", str);
            startActivity(i);
        }
    });

}

}
second Activity is Main2Activity:
public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {

String str;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);

    final Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);

    str = Main2Activity.this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("key");
    btn.setText("" + str);
}
}

I once had the pleasure of interviewing Katherine Durham for a webinar in my series for emerging women leaders. Our discussion centered on advancing authentically, and how to build a successful career while remaining true to yourself.
Durham, who is Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President, Individual Disability Insurance with The Standard shared some advice that I've never forgotten.
If you're interested in advancing into a leadership role, you need not wait for permission or an invitation to be a leader. According to Durham, you can assume the role and show up as a leader regardless of the position you hold in your company.

Apple to issue fix for iPhones, Macs at risk from 'Spectre' chip flaw
Stephen Nellis
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc will release a patch for the Safari web browser on its iPhones, iPads and Macs within days, it said on Thursday, after major chipmakers disclosed flaws that leave nearly every modern computing device vulnerable to hackers.
Browser makers Google, Microsoft Corp and Mozilla Corp's Firefox all confirmed to Reuters that the patches they currently have in place do not protect iOS users. With Safari and virtually all other popular browsers not patched, hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users may have no secure means of browsing the web until Apple issues its patch.
Apple stressed that there were no known instances of hackers taking advantage of the flaw to date.
On Wednesday, Alphabet Inc's Google and other security researchers disclosed two major chip flaws, one called Meltdown affecting only Intel Corp chips and one called Spectre affecting nearly all computer chips made in the last decade. The news sparked a sell-off in Intel's stock as investors tried to gauge the costs to the chipmaker.
In a statement on its website, Apple said all Mac and iOS devices were affected by both Meltdown and Spectre. But the most recent operating system updates for Mac computers, Apple TVs, iPhones and iPads protect users against the Meltdown attack and do not slow down the devices, it added, and Meltdown does not affect the Apple Watch.
Macs and iOS devices are vulnerable to Spectre attacks through code that can run in web browsers. Apple said it would issue a patch to its Safari web browser for those devices "in the coming days."
Shortly after the researchers disclosed the chip flaws on Wednesday, Google and Microsoft released statements telling users which of their products were affected. Google said its users of Android phones - more than 80 percent of the global market - were protected if they had the latest security updates.
Apple remained silent for more than a day about the fate of the hundreds of millions of users of its iPhones and iPads. Ben Johnson, co-founder and chief strategist for cyber security firm Carbon Black, said the delay in updating customers about whether Apple's devices are at risk could affect Apple's drive to get more business customers to adopt its hardware.
"Something this severe gets the attention of all the employees and executives at a company, and when they go asking the IT and security people about it and security doesn't have an answer for iPhones and iPads, it just doesn't give a whole lot of confidence," Johnson said.

Communication, creative budgeting, visibility and relationship-building are key, two Illinois IT leaders say.
In a small school district, an IT leader is more than just the steward of technologies.
Miller joined Nancy Battaglia, the technology director for Skokie (Ill.) School District 68, to offer advice to other small IT shops in K–12 school districts during the third day of CoSN's annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
IT leaders need to get out to schools as much as possible and foster relationships with teachers, staff and administrators. Team members should do the same.
A small district may have a small IT team — sometimes just one person. Principals, secretaries and teachers can provide support in these situations.
Stay ahead of any issues and communicate them in a timely fashion.
At Winnetka (Ill.) Public Schools District 36 — which consists of 1,600 students in five schools — the central office team writes a blog post every other week to update staff. They also create a monthly flyer for the community and hold quarterly meetings with parents where they talk about technical issues such as social media, data privacy and innovations.
Try "Yes, and" instead. Budget constraints and other issues often force IT leaders to think "No" when a technology request is first made. But, that doesn't have to be the case, Battaglia said.
Speaking of budgeting, Miller and Battaglia said the people who control school funding are impressed when they can see the district's blueprint for spending.
Battaglia said money often can be found by reallocating funds.
"We wanted to do a one-to-one program in my last district, but there was no money," she said. Instead of replacing the computer lab, which was in the district's plans, Battaglia spent the money to go one-to-one with tablets. Small districts also can resell equipment, take advantage of E-rate funds and evaluate systems yearly for redundancies or other unnecessary spending.
"Don't keep rolling stuff in because you've always done it," Miller said.
Battaglia said she often visits schools and offers tips on Google Chrome or Microsoft Word while chatting with staff or teachers.
Help everyone you come in contact with understand why you're introducing technology.
Even a one-person shop can have a network of people to bounce ideas off of.
Miller and Battaglia suggested getting coffee with colleagues, finding a Twitter group or hashtag to follow or joining a Listserv, a mailing list of people with similar interests.
Many small K–12 IT shops find that old systems can be disorganized. When new technology comes in, it's important to streamline new systems, Miller said.
"Get things all under one roof as much as possible," she said.
Vendors can be trusted partners, but it's important not to get stuck in a bad relationship.

Turisme kan både omfatte rene rekreationsrejser og oplevelsesrejser. Ordet kan bruges nedsættende, især om masseturismen. Det hænger sammen med, at turisme i dag kan dyrkes af alle samfundslag, hvor den tidligere var forbeholdt de besiddende.

Mange bruger ferien på at være turister, og der er derfor udviklet en lang række ferieformer af turistindustrien.

Turismen opstod, da det blev muligt at transportere mange mennesker hurtigt over større afstande, og den har nøje sammenhæng med jernbanernes og den hurtige skibstrafiks udvikling. Turisme var i begyndelsen forbeholdt de meget velhavende, men i løbet af især sidste halvdel af det 20. århundrede har også middelklassen kunnet rejse, og det har betydet et kolossalt opsving i turistindustrien med rejsevirksomhed, hoteldrift, udflugtsarrangementer og anden afledt virksomhed.

For en turist er det et mål i sig selv at rejse og opholde sig på steder langt hjemmefra.

Turisten kan være interesseret i den fremmede kultur og natur. Rige har altid rejst til fjerne dele af verden, ofte for at se kendte bygninger og kunstværker, lære nye sprog eller opleve andre madkulturer. Mange turister rejser for at opleve kultur og folkeliv.

Den organiserede turisme er nu en stor industri mange steder på jordkloden. En række nationale økonomier er fuldstændig afhængig af turismen. Turisme kan ses som en vigtig del af oplevelsesøkonomien og er en af de hastigst voksende.

Forskning i turisme finder især sted inden for de humanistiske og samfundsfaglige videnskaber, som centeret for Turisme, Innovation og Kultur (TIC) ved Syddansk Universitet i Esbjerg, Forskningsenheden for turisme ved Aalborg Universitet, Center for Regional- og Turismeforskning i Nexø og Center for Oplevelsesforskning på Roskilde Universitet.

Der tilbydes bachelor-, kandidat- eller masteruddannelser inden for turismeforvaltning, – udvikling og -forskning.

Ordets historie
Ordet turist blev brugt på dansk før 1850 af bl.a. Heiberg og Henrik Hertz). Af Folkeforbundet (forløber for FN) blev det første gang anvendt officielt i 1937. Her blev ordet defineret som betegnelse for mennesker, der rejser uden for landets grænser i længere tid end 24 timer. Selve turistmen er langt ældre som fx the grand tour til Italien.

Turismens forudsætninger er:

 Disponibel indkomst, dvs. penge, der er til rådighed, efter at de faste omkostninger er betalt.
 Tid, dvs. fritid, som kan bruges på at rejse.
 Infrastruktur, dvs. indkvarterings- og transportmuligheder.

Ordet tour fik generel anerkendelse i det 18. århundrede, da det engelske begreb "Grand Tour of Europe" blev en del af opdragelsen/uddannelsen af engelske gentlemen. Grand Tour of Europe var afslutningen på de rige unges uddannelse. De rejste over hele Europa, men typisk til steder af kulturel eller æstetisk interesse, som Rom eller Alperne.

De største britiske kunstnere fra det 18. århundrede gennemførte også en grand tour. Det samme gjorde deres kollegaer som Claude Lorrain og de senere danske Marstrand, Købke, H.C. Andersen og Bertel Thorvaldsen. Klassisk litteratur og kunst tiltrak turister til Rom og andre italienske byer.

Turisme som metafor
Ordet "turisme" har også fundet anvendelse som metafor for forskellige typer planlagte rejser med kritisable formål, eksempelvis velfærdsturisme, sexturisme og abortturisme. Ordet turist bruges undertiden også i sportssammenhæng om personer, der deltager i udenlandske sportsbegivenheder (f.eks. OL) uden en reel chance for god placering.

Q: Update Leaflet Map Shiny Dashboard with setView I am trying to create a leaflet map in shiny which generates the whole map, but zooms in on specific coordinates based on the input selected. If I include this in the render leaflet section it becomes extremely slow. I'm therefore trying to use observe.
Edit: Added example with US states. The select works fine, but how can I zoom in on a state once selected?
library(spData)
data(us_states)
us_states <- us_states

# Add lat/long
library(dplyr)
library(sf)
us_geom <- as.data.frame(us_states %>% st_coordinates()) %>%

                                                            "NAME"]))

     data_input <- reactive({

It works if you remove the observe section but does not zoom in on the state, just shows the whole map. How can I add this correctly?

A: For anyone else looking for an answer, the only way I can find to do it is to add an action button to the UI and call it from there:
ui <- dashboardPage(
  skin = "red",
  dashboardHeader(title = "Dashboard"),
  dashboardSidebar(
    selectInput('select_region', 'Region: ', choices =
    unique(as.character(us_states$REGION))),
    uiOutput("select_state"),
    actionButton("update_view", "update_view")
  ),
  dashboardBody(
    fluidRow(column(width = 12, leafletOutput(outputId = "mymap")))
  )

)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

   output$select_state <- renderUI({
   selectInput("User1", "State: ", choices =
     as.character(us_states2[us_states2$REGION==input$select_region,
                                                            "NAME"]))
  })

   data_input <- reactive({
      us_states  %>%
      dplyr::filter(REGION == input$select_region &
                    NAME == input$User1 )
  })

  data_input2 <- reactive({
        us_states2  %>%
          dplyr::filter(REGION == input$select_region &
                        NAME == input$User1 )
  })

  output$mymap <- renderLeaflet({
        leaflet(us_states) %>%
         addTiles() %>%
         addPolygons(
         fillColor = ~pal(total_pop_10)) })

  observeEvent(input$update_view, {

      leafletProxy("mymap", session)   %>%
             setView(
               lng = as.numeric(data_input2() %>% select(long)),
               lat = as.numeric(data_input2() %>% select(lat)),
               zoom = 7  )
 })

}

cosmologic concepts in the iconographic design of Han mural paintings. A thorough analysis of the iconographic design of murals shows that they possessed not only a decorative function, but together with the architectural structure and other burial objects reflected the entire cosmic image. The analysis of tomb paintings reveals a developed correlative cosmology yin-yang wuxing which manifests its concrete image in symbolic codes of individual iconographic motifs. The article first displays a general review of tombs with murals, and then focuses on depictions in Han tomb murals, discussing representation of the images of celestial bodies, the symbolic polarity of the cosmical forces yin and yang, the symbolism of the four directions and the four seasons and the symbolic circling of the five xings.

Was A Gay Porn Star Arrested For Attacking A Woman On A Plane?
By Dan Avery March 15, 2013 at 12:03pm · 12 comments
It looks like up-and-coming gay-porn actor Andy Taylor may have been arrested at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport after he assaulted a woman on a US Airways flight on Saturday.
WBTV reports that South Carolina native Blake Jones, 22, assaulted a 53-year-old Cleveland woman while the plane was still waiting to taxi on the runway. The cause of the altercation is unknown.
Jones was booked in the Mecklenburg County jail on Saturday evening at 7:42 p.m. He was released at 10:38 a.m. Sunday morning.
He is facing charges of assault on a female by a male at least 18 years of age and resisting arrest. He was released on a $2,000 bond.
As he shown in the tweet at right, Taylor's real name is indeed Blake Jones. And he did tweet last week that he'd be flying on Saturday.
The physical resemblance between Taylor's publicity photo and Jones' mug shot is pretty uncanny, but we've reached out to the young adult-film star for confirmation.

Queerty????
Since when is it OK to out a porn star's real name?
So what if it is him?
Falls under the category of none of our business.
mcflyer54
So what's the big issue with his real name. If you don't want people to know who you are it's simple enough – don't put yourself out there.
LeNair Xavier
@Caine:
WAIT A MINUTE, "CAINE"?!
You're getting on Queerty for outing his real name?! Considering the fact that he may have unjustly attacked a woman almost 2.5 times his age, does he deserve such respect? NO, he doesn't!!!
Furthermore, I have a porn past myself, and if you google my name, "LeNair Xavier", one source or another will EASILY lead you to finding my old porn name, "Tre Xavier". And why would I hide it? For the face is still the same. The tattoo on my left arm is still the same. It's all there. Like "mcflyer54" said, if you don't want people to know who you are, don't put yourself out there.
If a porn actor doesn't want their real name so easily outed, they shouldn't do stupid things to make it so. Because if you take note of the track records of porn actor's real names being exposed, it's usually after they've done something foolish.
Ron Jackson
Perhaps the woman didn't like his films? Everyone's a critic nowadays yaknow.
Ann Mason
"WBTV reports that South Carolina native Blake Jones, 22, assualted…"
Many years ago, the word "allegedly" was used in news reports on crime because the accused was — and still is — presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The quality of news journalism continues to deteriorate because the public doesn't demand anything better. Queerty is doing research by sifting through Twitter posts, and that's about as silly as it gets.
Considering the sensational nature of the above article, I won't assume the quote from WBTV is accurate. I will assume Queerty is insulting our intelligence and showing a disregard for the privacy of everyone concerned.
Chad Hunt
@Ann Mason: I couldn't agree more. Journalism has reached new lows. No one verifies facts. Everyone assumes guilt or innocence with no burden of proof and posts as such.
@LeNair Xavier: Just because you did a couple of porn videos in your time does not mean you know the circumstance of every other porn actor. There are, having had several in the past myself, stalkers out there who will either try to harm or break into a porn star's home if they are able to discern their real names and info.
How do you know the lady didn't start it? (Probably not) Maybe she called him a nasty faggot and he just slapped her. That would be considered assault. Not that I condone violence but the old cunt may have deserved it. As Virgil in, "To Wong Fu: Thanks For Everything, Julie Nemar," says, "Some ladies need to be hit." Her verbal assault could have led to a physicality. (LOL)
That last comment of mine being as absurd as yours in assuming his guilt or that it even actually took place as thus reported with no burden of proof.
How do you know the lady didn't start it? (Probably not) Maybe she called him a nasty faggot and he just slapped her. That would be considered assault. Not that I condone violence but the old bat may have deserved it. As Virgil in, "To Wong Fu: Thanks For Everything, Julie Nemar," says, "Some ladies need to be hit." Her verbal assault could have led to a physicality. (LOL)
@Ann Mason: said…
Hi Ann, This will sound weird, but you are correct and so are they.
You are correct because absolutely innocent until proven guilty is still the standard. However, they are playing a tricky semantics game. They aren't technically reporting on the assault. They are reporting that some OTHER station reported it. Sleazy I know, but that is how they would defend it. Leaves a bad taste I know.
EXCUSE ME?!?!?!?!? Since when are actors real names protected in the media as if they were rape victims or underage?
Just because a stage name is chosen has nothing to do with how the news can report on the crime.
I am curious about what happened. Is this an out of control young drunk guy on a plane, or is this some old bigot saying anti-gay comments who came at him but the arresting officers were anti-gay and are blaming him. You just can't know at this point.
The "logic" behind keeping his name hidden is ridiculous. He was arrested under his REAL NAME.
@John Doe: No one is saying to keep his name hidden, what is being said is disclosing both his porn name and real name together can prove hazardous to an individual. It would have been fine to say that Blake Jones who has worked in gay porn was arrested but then using his porn name also opens him up to all kinds of discrimination, stalking, etc.
And so it begins. Can we just skip to the part where he is found dead with a needle in his arm in some sleazy Vegas motel after being missing for three days. What a shame.

OVERVIEW Why should you attend?
The phone rings, and out of the blue a journalist is on the line asking you tricky questions about your company's activities. How do you handle it? How do you make your point to adversarial and aggressive questions? Your company's reputation may depend on the answers you give.
Engaging effectively with the media means being able to present yourself and your organization to the best advantage in any situation. The media may provide you with enormous opportunity to get your message across to the right audience, but if you don't recognise this opportunity and exploit the situation, your rivals probably will.
But interacting successfully with the media means that you need to learn – and even master - the rules of what can often become a dangerous game.
Presenting yourself and your company in the best light possible also means learning how to become a valuable resource to the journalist, and also being acutely aware of what is – and what is not possible.

Annie (Le Porte) Diggs
Creator: Snyder
Date: Between 1890 and 1899
A portrait of Annie (Le Porte) Diggs, who was born in 1848 in Canada to an American mother and French father. Two years later the family moved to New Jersey, where she attended school. Diggs moved to Lawrence, Kansas, in 1873 and married Alvin S. Diggs shortly thereafter. While in Kansas, Diggs began to attend the local Unitarian Church and developed a strong sense of moral responsibility that prompted her to work for temperance and women's suffrage. During 1882, Diggs and her husband published the newspaper Kansas Liberal, and beginning in 1890 she was the associate editor of the Alliance Advocate. As a radical reformer seeking to wipe out injustice, Diggs also allied herself with the Farmer's Alliance, aiding in the creation of the People's (Populist) Party, serving on the Populist National Committee, and supporting the fusion of the Populist and Democratic parties in the 1898 election. Throughout this time she continued to work actively for women's voting rights and served in the Kansas Equal Suffrage Association. In 1898, she was appointed the state librarian of Kansas, and she was also elected president of Kansas Press Women in 1905. Diggs moved to New York City in 1906, where she worked on two publications: The Story of Jerry Simpson (1908) and Bedrock (1912). She relocated to Detroit, Michigan, in 1912 and died there on September 7, 1916.
Carry Amelia Nation
Creator: Nichols and Davidson
Portrait of Carry A. Nation holding a hatchet and Bible.
Carry Nation poster
Creator: Gillin Print Company
Large, rectangular color poster advertising an appearance by Carry Nation, a temperance advocate who gained notoriety by attacking saloons. Her activities began in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, in 1899. A hatchet was her symbol because she often used the tool to smash saloon fixtures. In Nation's autobiography, The Use and Need of the Life of Carry A. Nation, she explained the genesis of this poster. While jailed in Topeka for smashing saloon fixtures in July 1901, Nation received a letter from James Furlong, manager of the Lyceum Theater in Rochester, New York. According to Nation, Furlong offered to bail her out of jail if she granted him some lecture dates. She agreed, was pardoned, and left almost immediately for a Chautauqua in Clarksburg, Ohio. Her lecture series continued across upstate New York.
Circular of the State Impartial Suffrage Association
This circular describes the efforts to secure suffrage for blacks and women in the state of Kansas. The flyer indicates the Henry B. Blackwell of New York and Mrs. Lucy Stone were traveling in Kansas at that time. The Association was being organized in 1867. S. N. Wood was the corresponding secretary for the association. There is a hand written note on the back from H. C. Whitney, Lawrence, Kansas, indicating his willingness to speak for the group.
Door to the House of Representatives, Kansas Capitol, Topeka, Kansas
Creator: Farrow, W. F.
A photograph showing the House of Representatives door in the Kansas Capitol after it was broken by the Republicans during the Populist War, Topeka, Kansas. The second image shows a print of the same photo in a frame commemorating the 1893 session. The dispute began when both the Republican and Populist parties claimed victory in the Kansas House elections in 1892. A number of contests were still being disputed when the legislative session began in January 1893. The conflict between the parties reached a crisis when the Populists locked themselves in the House Hall. The Republicans used a sledgehammer to break down the doors to the hall. The governor requested support from the state militia. After a three-day standoff, Governor Lewelling was able to negotiate an agreement with the Republican speaker of the house, which amounted to a Populist surrender. The state Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the Republicans.

Kate Richards O'Hare
A photograph of Kate Richards O'Hare a strident advocate and supporter of women's rights and the Socialist Party. She was born in Ada, Kansas, on 26th March, 1877. After a brief schooling in Nebraska, she became an apprentice machinist in Kansas City. While working in a machine shop she was introduced to labor unions. She came to believe that trade unions were vital to the welfare of the working man. At this same time, O'Hare joined the Socialist Party. She later moved to Girard and became a regular contributor to the Appeal to Reason, a Socialist newspaper. Her articles focused on the plight of workers and children. In 1902 Kate Richards married Frank O'Hare. They began a career of lecturing for the Socialist Party across the nation. As the war in Europe intensified, Socialists campaigned to keep America out of war. During a speech in North Dakota, O'Hare was arrested for disobeying the Espionage Act and speaking out against the war. She was sentenced to five years for violating the anti-sedition act but O'Hare only served 14 months.

This is a portrait of Susanna Madora Salter, Mayor of Argonia, and first woman mayor in the United States. Born March 2, 1860, in Belmont County, Ohio, Susanna Madora Kinsey moved to a Kansas farm with her parents in 1872. Eight years later, while attending the Kansas State Agricultural College, she met and married Lewis Salter. The couple soon moved to Argonia where she cared for their young children and became an officer in the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Nominated on the Prohibition Party ticket by several Argonia men as a joke, Salter surprised the group and received two-thirds of the votes. She was elected in April 4, 1887, just weeks after Kansas women had gained the right to vote in city elections. The 27-year-old woman knew more about politics than her detractors realized. She was the daughter of the town's first mayor. Her father-in-law, Melville J. Salter, was a former Kansas lieutenant governor. Although she apparently performed her job well, Salter never sought another elected office. Within a few years, the Salters moved to Oklahoma where the nation's first woman mayor died in 1961 at the age of 101.

Rosemont: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive "wear and tear" disease of the joint. Osteoarthritis of the knee (knee OA) may not be totally preventable but according to Elizabeth Matzkin, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine with Brigham and Women's Hospital, there are some key factors that we can control to minimize the chances of developing bone and joint pain. So, what's the best treatment option for those who already have knee OA? Dr. Matzkin explains her study's findings published in the October issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
"Patients with symptomatic knee OA who received an intra-articular corticosteroid injection demonstrated improvement in pain, stiffness and function for up to six months," says Dr. Matzkin. Intra-articular corticosteroid injection–a steroid injection into a joint to reduce painful swelling could provide effective short-term relief and improve function for patients who are not ready or able to undergo surgical treatment.
Participating in physical activity to help keep muscles strong. Keeping the proximal knee muscles the muscles nearby the knee joint strong can help decrease the symptoms of knee OA. These muscles include the hip flexors that help move your leg or knee up towards your torso, abductors (outer thigh), and quadriceps (front of the thigh).
Non-obese patients with low-grade or less severe knee OA may be able to get an injection for pain relief so they may work on proximal muscle strengthening. Allowing patients to maintain their physical activities with minimal pain can help delay their needing a knee replacement surgery for years.


Last Friday the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James opened his "I Promised School." According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, it is a project that James, his foundation, and the Akron (Ohio) Public School district had been working on for nearly a decade. The school will focus its efforts on servicing at-risk kids.
The grade levels will start at second grade through fourth and gradually expand from there. The goal of the institution will help students from challenging backgrounds have a chance to help pursue their dreams.
James along with sponsors will donate millions of dollars to help the institution function. The school hours will be longer than the traditional hours that we at that age remember. This will allow staff members to assess learning styles to help their students receive the proper attention. All students that complete the program will receive a full ride to the University of Akron starting in 2021.

It's amazing! Love to see players of his caliber giving back the way he does and continuing to give back to his community. It's awesome, and I wish I was a little kid and go back to that school because it looks incredible. He is doing some much great things in the community, and he inspires others to do the same! Donne told me.
Seattle Mariners Second Baseman Dee Gordon and the Connecticut Sun's Chinenye "Chiney" Ogwumike both share voiced their support as well.
That is the ultimate gift that you can give to kids. Not giving but teaching and learning that is the best way you can transform people lives. The fact that he is doing it with money, his time, family, and friends that is the legacy athletes have. A lot of people say athletes should stick to the game and "We Should Shut up and dribble" Well you know what? They have platforms and they are able to reach people and that is a powerful thing. The fact that he is going to help kids and the generations to come is amazing. If we had more individuals doing that our society would be in a much better place. – Ogwumike told me.

Joseph Losey's
MR. KLEIN
Back by unprecedented demand for a limited engagement
MUST END THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21
3:30 & 6:00 ONLY
Starring Alain Delon
With special appearance by Jeanne Moreau
Following its blockbuster two-week run at Film Forum, with virtually every show sold out, Joseph Losey's rediscovered masterpiece Mr. Klein, starring Alain Delon, returns for a limited engagement, beginning Friday, October 4.
(1976) "This has nothing to do with me." 1942, and in Occupied Paris, Alain Delon's Catholic Klein seems to be sitting pretty. An attractive mistress, an apartment crammed full of expensive paintings, sculpture, tapestries – and mirrors – most of which he's bought at fire sale prices from Jews eager to emigrate/flee. But then he finds a Jewish newspaper delivered to his doorstep, and the protests and desperate search for his Aryan heritage begins, so desperate that his attempts to establish his identity start to come second to a frenzied search for his doppelganger, a search that comes to an unforeseen, but perhaps inevitable end.
Mr. Klein was blacklisted American director Losey's first film in French, with a screenplay by Battle of Algiers writer Franco Solinas and assistant director Fernando Morandi, and an uncredited Costa-Gavras (who was originally to direct).
An indictment of French complicity on the eve of the infamous Vélodrome d'Hiver roundup, with Claude Levy (one of the chief interviewees in Marcel Ophüls' The Sorrow and the Pity) as historical consultant, Mr. Klein was received coldly by French audiences, who objected to its depiction of wartime collaboration. Yet it still went on to represent France for the Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or and would win three Césars (French Oscars) for Best Film, Director, and Production Design by the legendary Alexandre Trauner, whose remarkable credits include everything from Marcel Carné's Children of Paradise and Jules Dassin's Rififi to Orson Welles' Othello and Billy Wilder's The Apartment. DCP. Approx. 123 min.
Presented with support from the George Fasel Memorial Fund for Classic French Cinema.
A Rialto Pictures Release
"'Mr. Klein' had its première in 1976, at Cannes, and came out in America the following year. Since then, it has proved hard to catch on the big screen. Now it is back and showing for two weeks at Film Forum. For hunters of rarities and students of wartime oppression, the emergence of 'Mr. Klein' will be an event to match that of another fierce appraisal of Occupied France, Jean-Pierre Melville's 'Army of Shadows,' which finally arrived on American screens in 2006, thirty-seven years after it was made. All good films come to those who wait."
– Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
"A slow-burning French thriller... Suffused not only with history, but also with echoes of Kafka, Dostoyevsky and the clipped paranoia of Losey's collaborations with Harold Pinter."
– Ben Kenigsberg, The New York Times
"Seductive… splendidly visual."
– Vincent Canby, The New York Times
"VERY COOL, VERY FRIGHTENING AND BEAUTIFULLY CONTROLLED."
– David Thomson
"One of Losey's most personal, cerebral and arresting works."
– David Robinson
"Yes, it played off Losey's acquired paranoia from the McCarthy days, but it drew upon his knowledge of Paris, too… I'm still not quite sure how far the French accept this as a French film – it has insidious things to say about the bonhomie of collaboration. But the journey of Losey, from The Prowler through The Servant to this Paris, is quite remarkable. And Delon's Klein, numb but deeply intelligent, cut off from society by some masquerade but then through the discovery of alienation itself, is extraordinary… It is a film of frozen, listless faces, the perfect currency of occupation."

What would you get if you crossed Steve Vai, with the film, Lord of the Rings?
Dave Brons is a British Instrumental Rock Guitarist with a CELTIC SYMPHONIC twist
"Dave Brons is that rare guitarist: Technically brilliant but melodic and soulful.
He has a truly unique direction to his playing: He secretly wishes he played the 'Celtic instruments' and , as a result, takes his frustration out on the fretboard to dazzling and splendid effect!
Troy Donockley (Nightwish)
"Dave Brons is an imaginative player with a great groove. I loved hearing his unique take on my music when we played together and look forward to hearing a lot more music from him"
Stu Hamm (Bassist for Steve Vai, Joe Satriani)
Music that will move you
In 2015 Dave took his album on a European Tour with Paul Bielatowicz (Carl Palmer Band) and Dave Bainbridge (IONA). Only two years earlier, Brons decided to quit his regular job and set out to create music that would marry the expressive potential of rock guitar with the epic sound of
Celtic infused orchestral film music:
"I felt like something was missing in lot of the music that guitarists were putting out. To the average music listener, most instrumental guitar music sounds like morse code over a backing track, a mere showcase for the guitar players technical ability".
Brons states, "I want the epic orchestral soundscapes and lyrical guitar melodies in my music to move the listener emotionally and transport them to the movie in their minds eye!".
Brons' 2015 album, Based on a True Story , has proved to be popular with musicians and non musician alike. Brons states that he always wrote with a view to the album becoming a soundtrack to peoples lives:
Based on a True Story by Dave Brons
Brons' released his second album in 2020. "Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost" is a very ambitious Lord of the Rings inspired concept album. 14 tracks long and over an hour of music, that includes Celtic fuelled virtuosic guitars, with emotive piano, huge orchestral soundscapes and a real 100 piece choir.
The album has had many rave reviews, which you can read >> HERE <<
Not all Those Who Wander are Lost by Dave Brons
Accidental Trail Blazer!
With rampant music piracy and album sales at an all time low, a global recession in full swing and guitar music being a pretty small niche, Brons did not chose an easy time to kickstart a music career.
"I'm a middle aged family guy with a face for radio, but I had these songs in my head and the support of my family so I decided to jump in the deep end… It was a surprise to me to find that my journey resonated with a lot of other guys who wanted to do the same "
Brons quickly discovered that there was no guide book for how to build a music career as an instrumental guitarist in the 21st century, so he started recording his journey in his blog. "Its been so great to have people come up to me after a gig and tell my that my blog inspired them to get into making music in a more meaningful way"
Star Rising
A top 16 finish for his composition "Star" in Guitar Idol 2014 and a European Tour with GB3guitar.com in May 2015, provided the necessary encouragement. Dave built on this by crowdfunding his album to the tune of £6000 /$9000. Brons states
" I was worried that the £6000 target was too high as I'd seen so many people fail on the crowdfunding route. Reaching the target not only gave me more confidence it also helped me build a fanbase and make a high quality album for them."
"Based on a True Story" has been met with praise from musicians and non musicians alike, something that Brons was keen to achieve. "It has been such a joy to play gigs to non guitarists and discover that they are really moved by the music and enjoy the virtuosic elements too."
To see some of the amazing feedback people have sent Dave click here:
The 2020 release "Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost" has helped Brons reach an even wider audience. Another crowdfunding campaign raised £10.000 / $12.000 which enabled
Brons' to realise his dream of using a real choir and orchestral players throughout the album.
What is next
"Every time someone shares my music with a friend, comes to a gig or buys my album, it helps support my family and allows me to continue to making music."
Dave is writing his 3rd album and hopes for a release in early 2021

"…Dave Brons brings a welcome breath of fresh air to the international instrumental guitar scene: his music exhibits great flair combining epic cinematic compositions with adventurous arrangements and a sense of the dramatic. His guitar playing displays all the requisite modern rock techniques, but his melodic taste, phrasing and sense of joyous fun separates him from the herd.

Owen Edwards: Guitar Idol Founder, Alloutguitar.com editor and best selling guitarist author.
Dave Brons is an exceptional guitarist, with a particular ability to conjure a superb, spine tingling, lyrical tone from his guitar. His impressive technical facility never overshadows his innate melodic sensibility and musicality. 'Star' demonstrates Dave's vision to integrate cinematic orchestral textures with soaring guitar leads, which combine to touch the heart.
Dave Bainbridge, (of celtic prog band Iona)
"Dave combines technique, feel, melody and carefully crafted compositions, making his music something that clearly stands out from the crowd. His love and passion for his instrument clearly shines through his playing."

Depression, stress and anxiety can rob you of your presence of mind, ability to function productively, and even have lasting effects on your overall health. Relaxation is like a door that, once opened, can lead you to a stronger, healthier, and happier you.
It sounds cliche, but one of the best ways to relax the "fight or flight" response related to stress and anxiety is to concentrate on breathing. It's not just in the activity of breathing, it's the shift of focus to a mindful state, allowing sensational calm to override your emotional stress.
This is a simple breathing exercise that will help you find relaxation whenever you need it most. Light some incense, scented candles or warm some scented oils in a diffuser if you'd like. You may also choose to sit outside where you can smell the fresh grass, or feel the cool breeze and warm sunlight. If you are in the office or at school and you don't have the ability to prepare your area you can still shift your focus to help you relax. Breathing is one of the most portable relaxation techniques there is.
Sit in a comfortable place with your back straight, your head up, and your shoulders back to allow a clear passage. Close your eyes and inhale slowly through your nose. Feel the air travel into your chest, notice how your chest expands. Allow the scent to fill your senses if you are using aromatherapy. When your chest and abdomen are fully expanded, exhale slowly through the mouth. Feel how your chest deflates like a balloon, and the sensation of the air passing through your mouth, over your tongue and between your lips.
If you are in a private place, or doing this exercise with a friend, you may allow yourself to make a sound (such as an "oh", "hee", "hay", or "uh") and draw it out as you exhale. Feel the vibrations throughout your head, shoulders, back and chest. If you would like to use this time as an opportunity to pray, then you may wish to assign a power phrase instead of a sound, such as "Come, O Lord", or "Allah".
As you continue you may wish to focus on how the top your head lifts your neck from between your shoulders, and how your trunk lifts you from between your hips, lengthening and straightening your body. This image helps you open the airways even further. Visualization allows you to focus on aspects of your being rather than distractions of the mind, while controlled breathing helps slow the heart rate, which compliments relaxation.

Trump launches nightly Facebook campaign news show
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced Monday that his campaign will broadcast a nightly program on Facebook Live that will run until Election Day.
The campaign will air the program at 6:30 p.m. from Trump Tower in New York City. The half-hour coverage will go live right before Trump's 7 p.m. rallies, Trump's advisers Boris Epshteyn and Cliff Sims told Politico. The show will also include conservative pundit from The Blaze Tomi Lahren.
"This is a HISTORIC movement. Together, we will once again make a government by, for, and of the people! Help us close out the final weeks of this campaign strong and WIN," Trump wrote in a Facebook post that also include a link to a fundraising page.
The debut episode Monday night will interview Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway and adviser Jason Miller, according to Wired. Politico notes that Sean Spicer, chief strategist for the Republican National Committee (RNC) will also join the program.
During the video, Epshteyn and Sims said the tool is a way for the campaign to harness Trump's large social media following and bypass traditional media, which the GOP nominee and his surrogates frequently bash as dishonest and biased toward Hillary Clinton.
Trump's Facebook page gives his presidential campaign a significant platform. The campaign hosted a Facebook Live on the third and final presidential debate in Las Vegas, which garnered 9 million viewers according to Wired.
A few minutes into the first program, more than 60,000 viewers tuned in.
The debut of the show stokes speculation of Trump television network; The Financial Times reported last week that Trump's son-in-law met with investors about possibly starting a network. And Trump campaign chairman Steve Bannon didn't rule out the possibility of a Trump media venture if he loses the presidential race to Clinton.

If you are thinking about running a high-quality training program in remote and wilderness medicine for your employees or your group, please call our office. We want to develop a sense of the type of work your organization is involved in. We want to help guide you in your choice of curriculum. We want to enable our instructors to serve you in the best way possible.
Below are a few common questions and standard answers. Please call us so that we can specifically address your question and assess the best service we can offer.
You can call or email our office and we'll direct you to the appropriate contact to schedule the course that best fits your needs.
There are only six of us who require this level of specialized training, can we book a course?
There is a minimum charge per course based on type of course and location . Having said this, please call us! We will work hard to direct you to a course of like-minded professionals within an appropriate geographic distance of your location. Or conversely, given enough time, we will direct others onto your course. We want to help make these connections possible, so that all courses have an added-value component of the shared experiences of professionals working in remote areas.
We are a large organization. Should we train everybody to the highest standard possible?
We would love to train your entire organization to the WFR standard! But that might not be the best use of your resources or fit for every employee in your organization. Please call us. We are able to spend time with you on the phone and come to understand your organizational structure and determine your training needs.
We have over 40 people to train. How will you manage this?
Depending on your classroom resources there are many ways to provide training to this number of students and even several dozen more. As the number of students increase we will increase the volume of instructor resources assigned to course. Let's talk and make a plan that is a best fit with your location and time constraints.
CPR is included on all of our standard core curriculum courses. This is not a pre-requisite. WFR graduates earn an equivalent to healthcare provider level CPR that includes adults and children, airway management, oxygen administration, and AED use. WFA and WAFA graduates earn the equivalent of adult CPR with AED training. Although both levels receive a WMA certification good for 3 years, some jurisdictions and employers may require CPR certification on a yearly basis. All WMA CPR courses are based on the 2015 American Heart Association/ILCOR guidelines and any published updates.
We have employees who have WAFA from other service providers. Are they eligible?
In 2010 WMA International made the decision to allow students with current wilderness advanced first aid certifications of more than 32 hours in length to take the WAFA to WFR Bridge course. There is a pre course assignment that must be completed in full before day one.
We are a group of industry professionals. Will the course be tailored to our needs?
Our traditional market has been in serving the outdoor guiding and recreational industry. We recognize and work with a variety of other professionals with different industry tools and standards. We will tailor the course to your needs, the work that you do and to the environment in which you work. Note however that the medicine and critical thought that we teach around patient management will not change from one course to the next.


1st rate - why is this stuff so funny to see ?
They left a clue at the scene.... two high vis jackets laying on the floor.
tsk tsk, school boy error.
Ahh but they are highly trained - this could NEVER happen!!!
I think you'll find it's the Northumbria fleet after the riders discovered they were getting rid of the bikes.

Old Morality: A Review Of Charles E McGarry's The Shadow of the Black Earl…
https://scotswhayhae.com/
One of the most welcome literary surprises of last year was Charles E. McGarry's novel The Ghost Of Helen Addison. It introduced the world to private investigator, and bon viveur, Leo Moran, whose gift of second sight is both a blessing and a curse. To say this is a Glaswegian gumshoe with a difference is ridiculous understatement writ large. Quite simply, you will never have met a character like Leo Moran. In the SWH! review we said, "With The Ghost Of Helen Addison Charles E. McGarry has presented a new voice to Scottish crime fiction, and a memorable character to match. I'm looking forward to seeing how these novels develop…". Well, look no further as the man is back in The Shadow Of The Black Earl.
If you liked the first Leo Moran mystery you are going to love this one. After a particularly upsetting funeral the dapper detective goes to stay with his now firm friend, the extravagantly named Fordyce Greatorix, at his family home of Biggnarbriggs Hall. There he encounters a range of eccentric characters who would not be out-of-place in an Agatha Christie novel. What unfolds is a whodunit which delves into the world of the occult, masonic and pagan rituals, and police corruption, as well as touching on every one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and then coming up with a few more. If you didn't read the previous novel you may think this is business as usual in terms of Scottish crime fiction. You'd be wrong. With this second outing what's now clear is that Leo Moran mysteries are something entirely different altogether.
One of the most welcome things that McGarry does is to take Leo around the country to solve crimes in Scotland's lesser known locations. The Ghost Of Helen Addison was set in Argyll, and this time round he finds himself in deepest, and, quite literally, darkest Galloway. It's an inspired setting which adds an instant atmosphere to proceedings, in no small part due to the rich literary history of the area. Think of the supernatural Border tales of James Hogg, such as The Brownie of Bodsbeck and the epic The Three Perils of Man, and Robert Louis Stevenson's superb short stories 'Markheim' and 'Thrawn Janet', as well as his masterpiece of a novel The Master of Ballantrae. All of these have a strong sense of a place where religion and superstition clash, and there is no doubt McGarry taps into this.
But, perhaps surprisingly, it's another well kent Border writer who I was reminded of when reading The Shadow Of The Black Earl, and that is the Great Waldo himself. It's not just the place which brings Walter Scott to mind, (he spent most of his time on the other side of the M74, so to speak), or that Briggnarbriggs Hall has more than a hint of Scott's beloved Abbotsford about it in its grandeur and folly. It's not even that the title has overtones of Scott's 1816 novel The Black Dwarf. Comparisons are to be found in McGarry's writing as well. Going against the grain of most modern fiction, never mind crime, this is a writer who will not be rushed. As with Scott he refuses to hurry matters, enjoying the diversions his characters make along the way. The idea that every sentence has to be a punch, or that action is all, is anathema. Like his protagonist, McGarry would far rather his reader stop and smell the roses.
His descriptions of the surroundings are often extensive, verging on the purple at times, but they completely suit the people and places depicted. In terms of the detective work think of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes' novels, or even G. K. Chesterton's tales of Father Brown. There is something distinctly out of time about the Leo Moran mysteries. In fact it is easy to forget you are in a contemporary novel until mentions of mobile phones and Facebook profiles break the spell. It's another sign that this is a writer doing something different. You might even think he's deliberately out to subvert the crime genre. Taking a Glasgwegian PI away from the side of the Clyde is just the start.
There is little doubt that McGarry has developed as a writer from The Ghost Of Helen Addison. This time round there are less detailed depictions of what Leo eats and what he wears, which personally I missed as I love food and clothes, but I think it was the right decision in terms of moving the plot along. More importantly, he makes far better use of his female characters in this novel, his relationship with Elaine central to proceedings. I would love to see even more of Stephanie – the one friend who seems to have his number – as I think they would make a memorable double act. Perhaps that's being kept for Leo Moran's third mystery. I certainly hope there is one. A character as ineffaceable and distinct as Leo Moran deserves a long literary life, and that goes doubly for Charles E. McGarry.
This new murder mystery willkeep you guessing. The author creates characters that are refreshingly different while effortlessly weaving Scottish history into this book, making for an intriguing narrative. Delightfully vivid. - Scottish Field


Nelle Harper Lee and Hastings-on-Hudson literary agent Samuel Pinkus have reached an "agreement in principle" to settle a copyright lawsuit the famed author of To Kill a Mockingbird brought against him in May.
Nelle Harper Lee and Hastings-on-Hudson literary agent Samuel Pinkus have reached an "agreement in principle" to settle a copyright lawsuit the famed author of To Kill a Mockingbird brought against him in May, a lawyer for Pinkus said Friday.
"The parties reached a mutually satisfactory resolution and everybody would like at this point to put it behind them," said attorney Vincent Carissimi of the Pepper Hamilton firm.
Also Friday, Pinkus' wife, Leigh Ann Winick, and journalist and author Gerald Posner, whose Miami residence is listed as the address of one of Pinkus' literary companies, were dropped from the lawsuit, Carissimi said. The paperwork was filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York.
Lee's lawyer, Gloria Phares, along with Pinkus, Winick and Posner could not be reached for comment Friday.
Lee, who won the Pulitzer prize in 1961 for To Kill a Mockingbird, alleged in her lawsuit that Pinkus "duped" her into signing over the copyright to the novel in 2007.
Lee, 87, who lives in Monroeville, Ala., said in the lawsuit she did not recall any discussion with Pinkus about transferring the copyright over to his company Veritas Media, or signing any document to that effect. Her lawsuit alleged the copyright assignment to him was "a gross example of self-dealing" and was intended to "secure to himself an irrevocable interest in the income stream" from sales of her book.
The federal lawsuit sought forfeiture of all commissions Pinkus and his companies received after the copyright assignment in 2007; damages; and that Pinkus and his companies assign whatever copyright rights they own to Lee. The lawsuit didn't accuse Pinkus of diverting any of the royalties from Lee.
In 2011, Pinkus transferred the copyright from Veritas Media to another company he created, Philologus Procurator Inc. That company assigned the copyright back to Lee in an April 13, 2012, letter, according to Lee's lawsuit.
To Kill a Mockingbird sells about 750,000 copies each year in the United States and Canada. That doesn't include sales of the book in Great Britain and the dozens of languages the novel has been translated into. Lee has earned millions of dollars in royalties.
Lee's lawsuit stated that she has become increasingly deaf in the last 15 years, her eyesight is failing, and she has lived in an assisted-living facility since suffering a stroke in 2007.
On Thursday, Winick and Posner were dropped from a separate lawsuit that New York City literary agency McIntosh & Otis filed in state Supreme Court against them, Pinkus, Pinkus' multiple literary companies and two publishers. McIntosh & Otis, which filed the case in June, wants a percentage of commissions Pinkus earned from clients he took with him when he left the company in 2004.
Winick's father, Eugene Winick, is CEO of McIntosh & Otis and her sister, Elizabeth Winick Rubinstein, is president.
