Libasci: Easter Message
The Most Reverend Peter Libasci, Bishop of Manchester has released an Easter Message, which has been published in its brief entirety at Girard at Large dot com. In the message, Libasci writes quote:
…it must have seemed to Jesus' disciples on that Good Friday nearly two millennia ago that evil had won, just as it seems to us today in so many places throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East, whose inhabitants daily endure seemingly interminable violence, persecution, even martyrdom.
First the Cross, then the Resurrection
Despite this, Libasci reminded the faithful that we not only live by the Cross of Good Friday, but also by the promise of the Resurrection, writing quote:
…just as that first Easter Sunday proved to the disciples that evil ultimately does not triumph over good, so too must we believe that the human heart, no matter how troubled, ultimately seeks light, life, and hope.
Libasci enjoined the faithful to approach the "strangers in our midst," those with whom we disagree politically and the poor with mercy and forgiveness.

Gatsas: To give budget address
Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas has officially announced he will give his Municipal Budget Address for the two thousand seventeen city and school district budgets this coming Tuesday, March 29th at a special meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen in the Aldermanic Chambers at City Hall. The meeting begins at 5: 30 and comes just one day after Superintendent Debra Livingston is scheduled to bring her budget request forward to the Board of School Committee. You can bet the Girard at Large team will be there to get the details and blog them live so you can get all you need to know and come along for the ride in real time.
Strong NH: Obamacare disaster
To commemorate the sixth anniversary of Obamacare's passage, Citizens for a Strong N H issued a damning statement cataloging the damage it's done to the middle class. In the statement, Strong N H cites the latest Granite State Poll showing only thirteen percent of respondents said it's helped their family, while twenty eight percent said it's hurt theirs. Among the problems identified with the wildly unpopular program are skyrocketing premiums, whopping financial penalties that could top two thousand dollars per family for those that don't have coverage, enormous deductibles and fewer choices of doctors and health care facilities.
Hassan: Still supports Obamacare
Strong N H spokesman Derek Dufresne called out Governor Margaret Wood Hassan for her Obamacare support, saying quote:
Obamacare's track record over the past six years has been a disaster and its future implications on families appear just as grim. Maggie Hassan might have been successfully programed to repeat her Washington talking points on the failing law, but Granite Staters aren't falling for it. They have actually felt the negative impact of Obamacare, which is exactly why they have consistently opposed it.
We've linked to their entire statement, which is chock full of educational links about the magnitude of the damage, from this news read at Girard at Large dot com.

Power lines: Bill would allow them to be buried along highways
The New Hampshire House of Representatives passed House Bill 6 2 6 which would allow energy developers to site underground high-voltage electric transmission lines in designated state-owned transportation areas in return for lease payments. In a statement issued after the bill passed, bill sponsor, State Rep. Suzanne Smith, Democrat from Hebron, said the bill would quote:
…avoid conflict and delay over the proposed use of overhead transmission lines in some of New Hampshire's most valued natural landscape."
Bill co-sponsor, Deputy House Speaker Gene Chandler, Republican from Bartlett added, quote:
This bill could help preserve the North Country's tourism and forest-based economy, while allowing the importation of Canadian hydro power to help diversify New England's energy portfolio.
The bill designates corridors along Interstates 89, 93, 95 and Route 101 between 93 and 95 for the power line leases.
Sununu: Feared funding loss.
District Three Executive Councilor Chris Sununu, also a Republican candidate for governor, issued a statement following his vote to approve the state Department of Education's contract with the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Sununu blamed Governor Margaret Wood Hassan and the D o E for forcing the council to approve the contract by presenting it seven months late, apparently believing the tired threat that failure to approve the contract would put two hundred fifty million dollars in federal revenues at risk. (Note: No state has lost federal funds for ditching this test, or it's evil twin PARCC.)
Merrimack Rotary: Looking for sponsors
The Merrimack Rotary Club is seeking sponsorships for its annual Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast and Family Fun Day. Family entertainment will be provided from 8 A M until dusk, after which the town's fireworks will be launched. Attractions include games, a rock climbing wall, music stages, a chalk art contest, bouncy rides, food, refreshments and OOOhhh sooo much more. Starting at two hundred and fifty dollars, sponsors can underwrite both the Pancake Breakfast and the Family Fun Day in exchange for promotional consideration both during, and in the advertising of, the festivities. Those interested are asked to contact Chris Christensen at 4 2 4 2 5 4 2 or chris @ Christensen N H dot com. Additional details and contact information are available at Merrimack 4 t h dot com.

A difficult issue under the Export Grant Scheme is where a company may undertake all research and development work in Australia, but manufacture the physical good offshore to achieve labour savings available in many countries in the Asian market.
In general terms Austrade will not accept applications from these companies, even if the finished goods are returned to Australia and shipped from Australia overseas. This is based on Austrade's view that the good is a non qualifying good and does not satisfy the necessary Australian content required to be a successful grant application. There are pending applications to Austrade, seeking a ruling from Austrade based on the net benefit to Australia discretion, that Austrade have. This is a discretion that Austrade has to allow export grant applications from companies who manufacture offshore, provided that it can be established that the company's export activities create a net benefit to Australia. At this stage Austrade are exercising this discretion in a limited way. Advice should be sought regarding your company's affairs, if your intellectual property forms a significant part of the ultimate good being sold.
Where the intellectual property, which forms part of the good, is Australian, then that part of your company's transaction will be eligible. However if you intend to lodge an export grant, your transaction should reflect the intellectual property component in the good ultimately being sold. This is a similar analogy to record companies who manufacture CD's offshore, but receive grants based on the export of the intellectual property to their foreign buyers.
It should be noted that an export grant is not available to promote a royalty flow for the disposal of intellectual property to a subsidiary company in overseas markets, irrespective of whether that foreign subsidiary is controlled by the Australian exporter or not.

This is wild hibiscus flower tea. The hibiscus is one of the most powerful sources of dark red polyphenols and flavonoids known. The hibiscus flower is completely edible and has been used for human health for untold centuries. The early people realized it. Hearty-Hibiscus is a top source of key heart-healthy minerals, including magnesium, copper, and manganese. Incredibly, a mere tablespoon of the tea powder contains a whopping 62 mg of magnesium, which is 16% of the daily value and a massive 9.2 mg of manganese, which is some 500% of the daily value. The ORAC per container of Hearty-Hibiscus is 31,524 units. What a potent way to get a delicious herbal and flower tea. Makes an excellent beverage, whether raw or hot.

I strive to provide helpful information, including smart and fun methods for solving everyday problems. Be smart; have fun!
Beer-Cheese soup with chicken and bacon is delicious with homemade beer bread.
A from-scratch Beer-Cheese Soup recipe that is hearty, easy and delicious.
Like most soups, beer-cheese soup is often made and served on a chilly, stormy day. Making the soup fills your home with not only a steamy warmth that is certainly welcome on a cold, raw day, but also with the smoky smell of bacon, and those wonderful sounds of onions and garlic sizzling in bacon drippings, and the faint and gentle bubbling of the soup as it simmers on the stove.
Like traditional beer-cheese soup, this one cooks up thick, smooth and rich. What makes it different is the addition of bacon and chicken. The bacon adds a rich smokiness that goes so perfectly with cheddar cheese, while the addition of a generous amount of chicken will please those meat-and-potato types who wouldn't normally be satisfied with simply soup for dinner.
I do serve this soup for dinner, and my husband never complains, even though he is one of those meat-and-potatoes kinds of guys. His favorite is still my famous Smoked Chicken Chowder, but this one comes in at a close second. He also loves bread and knows that he'll be treated to a fresh, hot loaf of homemade bread along with his soup. In keeping with the beer theme, I usually make four-ingredient beer bread because it is so unbelievably delicious, quick and easy. There is no kneading, rising or yeast involved -- just mix it up the four ingredients and pop it in the oven.
I make Beer-Cheese Soup with Bacon and Chicken with whatever beer I have available at the time. Different beers give the soup different flavors, but I love the soup with every beer I've tried. Naturally, a lighter beer will produce a lighter flavor, and a darker beer will produce a richer flavor. It's fun to experiment and discover what you prefer. We love dark beers here at our house, so I tend to save those for drinking, and use for cooking whatever type we least want to drink. The results are always delicious, no matter what.
In a large dutch oven or soup pot, combine the chopped bacon and diced onion. Fry/saute on medium heat until the bacon pieces are slightly browned and the onions are clear. Add minced garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more. Do not let garlic or onions burn.
Turn burner off. Drain all but about one tablespoon of the bacon drippings.
Turn heat to low and pour both cans of chicken broth into the pot over the bacon, onions and garlic. Use a spatula to scrape any stuck-down bacon pieces from the bottom of the pot. Scrape and stir until bottom of pot is clean.
Place chicken breasts into chicken broth/bacon mixture. Cover, turn heat to high and bring the broth to a gentle boil. Once broth begins to boil, turn burner heat to low and allow chicken breasts to simmer, covered, approximately 30-45 minutes, until fully cooked and very tender.
Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool.
Pour entire bottle or can of beer into the pot of broth. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil, uncovered. This evaporates the alcohol from the beer, making the soup safe for kids and those who prefer not to consume alcohol.
Mix 1/4 cup corn starch with enough water to make a thin paste. Stir the paste into the broth mixture. Allow the broth to boil gently for a few minutes. Boiling the broth with the cornstarch paste will thicken the broth. If the broth does not thicken after a minute or two of gentle boiling, repeat the procedure with another 1/4 cup of cornstarch mixed with water.
When broth has thickened, reduce heat to medium. Chop or tear chicken into chunks. Add chicken chunks to the soup.
A little at a time, sprinkle cheese onto top of soup, stirring after each addition. Allow cheese to melt, then sprinkle on and stir in more cheese until all 3 cups are melted into the soup.
Turn heat to low. Stir in half-and-half. Allow soup to heat through until steaming. Simmer a few minutes if you like, but do not bring to a boil and do not simmer for for an extended period of time, or the half-and-half will curdle. Serve immediately.
A little Oktoberfest music to listen to as you cook your beer-cheese soup.
More fun Oktoberfest music, this time from Brave Combo.
Did you make this soup? Let me know how you liked it!
Great recipe. I would love to try this someday. Voted up!
This looks so good. I love soup and it's still cool here. We had chili today. Voted up.
Thanks so much, Deb. It's yummy! Everyone loves bacon, and it goes perfectly in this soup. Thanks so much for sharing and voting, also. I hope you love the soup!
Thanks for sharing and pinning, denisemai. I really appreciate it! I love it when I find something delicious that I can make with ingredients I already have and tend to keep in the kitchen.
It is getting to be soup season and this one looks terrific. I can't wait to try it. The best part is, everything needed for the recipe is already in my kitchens. Thanks for sharing. Sharing and pinning for reference!


When you're in your 20s and managing expenses on a tight budget, major life changes (moves, new jobs, dating, maybe even marriage), and professional instability, it's easy to get overwhelmed by personal finances. But a careless approach will only set you back.
Developing good habits now can set you up for a stable future. Get on the right track by using these 10 milestones to check your progress as you journey toward 30. Keep in mind—the earlier you hit them, the more you'll reap the benefits.
Help from parents is always appreciated, especially when you find yourself in a tight spot financially or need a hand easing into the real world. But there comes a time when this assistance is more harmful than helpful. The best way to educate yourself in your finances is to become self-sufficient and navigate them firsthand. If you don't make mistakes yourself, you won't learn. Besides, nothing says, "I made it," like paying your own way, and that satisfaction is priceless.
Guilty of having a little too much fun with your credit card? Don't spend your 30s paying off the mistakes you made in your 20s. Work hard to pay off your credit debt, and enter 30 with a clean slate so you can afford higher priority payments such as your mortgage or retirement fund. Ideally, it would also be great to eradicate those student loans, but it's more important to tackle credit card debt first because it's considered bad debt. Just make sure you're making minimum payments on your student loans.
Don't know your score? You can check your FICO score for free and without penalties once a year at annualcreditreport.com.
The world of IRAs and 401(k)s can be confusing (I'm still figuring it out myself), but the sooner you start one, the better—money has much more time to grow when you're in your 20s. Determining which one you need depends on what you want to get out of it, so do some research. Both allow you to invest money for retirement—a 401(k) invests money from your pre-tax paycheck and an IRA has tax advantages. Some employers match your contributions to your 401(k), which will make your retirement savings grow even faster.
Emergencies are unexpected, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't anticipate them. They happen to the best of us, whether you need a new transmission for the car, a flight home for a family crisis, or get laid off. Prepare for the worst by tucking at least three but ideally six months of your living expenses away in a savings account.
Paying insurance is never fun. I almost fell out of my seat when I saw how much my car insurance was, but I was also thankful for it when I got into a car accident. Create a list and check it off—health and dental insurance, car insurance, homeowners or rental insurance, and life insurance. Knowing the difference between insurance and proper insurance is instrumental—while it's tempting, don't take the cheap route. You don't have to shell out for the premium plan, but make sure you pick the plan that best benefits you and makes you feel most secure.
Don't forget about your own personal milestones. Whether it's a new car, trip to Europe, graduate degree, or your first piece of property, make sure you have an account dedicated to your fun adventures in life. You work hard—reward yourself. It'll be that much better knowing you diligently saved for it.
Don't let your money gather dust in one account, but rather give it a chance to grow. Diversifying your money beyond the basic savings account lays the foundation for building wealth and security long-term. While it may seem daunting to get started, you'll be thankful down the road that you did. Opt for something simple like a mutual fund, or to really get your toes wet, go for the stock market.
Say goodbye to Forever 21 and Ikea. Really. While they're both great for trendy pieces you can toss when they break, rip, or just go out of style, your 30s are about embracing quality. Not every item needs to be—and shouldn't be—a splurge, but invest in pieces when you know they're worth it. You'll get more bang for your buck in the long run, and if you start now, you'll celebrate 30 in a home filled with a nice array of quality items, no Lack coffee table in sight.
Most importantly, decide what you want your wealth goals to be, which will help determine how you invest. Do you want to retire at 50? Own a vacation home? Write it down or post a visual of it on your fridge as a reminder, and create a strategy. It will keep you on track and motivated to achieving the lifestyle you want. Once you reach one goal, set another.

Coburn leads surging women's steeplers into Nationals
Daily Relay | On 22, Jun 2015
Photo via TrackTownPhoto
Fifteen hundred miles away from home and wearing a bridesmaid's dress isn't where or how one would expect to find America's best female steeplechaser the weekend before U.S. Nationals. But at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, is precisely where Emma Coburn was, rather than relaxing at her base in Boulder, Colorado.
The oldest of the Coburn siblings, Willy, 28, married Katherine Oliver on Saturday, and Emma, 24, the third of four Coburn kids, flew in on Thursday for the festivities and back to Boulder on Sunday.
"The timing is a little less than ideal, but weddings are important, so we can make it work," said Coburn while exploring the 8,000-acre estate Friday. "My coaches and I have known about this for a year. I've skipped a lot of the Diamond League races in Europe to save my travel, so I wouldn't be too exhausted adding this in."
Emma Coburn will spend just one full day in Boulder before arriving in Eugene, Oregon, on Tuesday for the USATF Outdoor Championships, which also serve as the qualifier for the August's World Championships in Beijing. She'll arrive without having competed in a steeplechase this calendar year.
"The Diamond League schedule was really difficult this year," she said. "New York, Rome and Birmingham were all within 10 days of each other. And they were the only Diamond Leagues [with the women's steeplechase] other than Doha. If the schedule had been a little bit different, I probably would have done a Diamond League, but the schedule just didn't work for visiting my brother's wedding and traveling overseas in the month of June."
Coburn, whose only Diamond League race was a 4:05.10 11th-place finish in the 1500m at the Prefontaine Classic, is planning to use Thursday's preliminary round to bust whatever rust her light racing schedule may have left her with.
"Luckily, I have the prelims, so I think that will help be a nice little tune-up," she said. "But last year, my first steeple was Shanghai and I ran 9:19 and I hadn't run anything. I hadn't raced a steeple chase for nearly a year then, so I'm not necessarily worried."
Indeed, Coburn served notice to elite women's steeplechasers with her runaway performance in Shanghai last May, a race in which some top competitors claimed they thought she was a rabbit. Coburn has also been the forerunner of a surge in quality for American women in her discipline.
Already this year, nine Americans have broken 9:40 (something only six did in the last championship season, 2013) and four have broken 9:32 (something only Coburn and Stephanie Garcia did before USAs last year).
American women in the world's top 30 by year:
Year Top 30
2015* 8
* through June 20
Garcia ran 9:27.92, the fastest time by an American this season, to finish fourth at the Birmingham Diamond League event two weeks ago, and Ashley Higginson ran 9:31.32 to finish second at the New York DL event a week later. On that same day at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, three women ran under 9:34, including Florida State's Colleen Quigley (9:29.32) and UMKC's Courtney Frerichs (9:31.36).
"I've never run this fast this quickly," said Higginson after her New York race. The former Princeton runner just completed law school at Rutgers and trains with Frank Gagliano's New York/New Jersey Track Club.
"[This race] just tells me not to be afraid to be in the pack," she said when asked what the 9:31.32 performance in hot conditions means for her chances at nationals. "It's gonna go real fast, and I respect six, seven ladies in the field quite a bit. It's gonna be one of the best races to watch at nationals. … I'm excited to mix it up. Hopefully it's hot, huh?"
For those wondering, the weather forecast for Eugene indicates an expected high of 91 on Thursday for prelims and a steamy 98 on Saturday, the day of the steeplechase final.
All of the above-mentioned women have declared for this week's championships, as have Nicole Bush, who has a 9:24 personal best (indoors) and won USAs in 2013, and Bridget Franek, who has made three teams and finished sixth in 9:36.88 in New York.
"We're all really close," said Franek after her June 13 race. "Everyone's running really fast. I think it's going to be anyone's race that day, and I have just as good a chance as anyone."
Coburn had the six fastest times by an American last year (including a 9:11.42 American record that was never ratified), which makes her the clear favorite despite her lack of races.
"My workouts indicate that I'm the fittest I've ever been," she said. "it's just a matter of getting comfortable being tired in a race, the anaerobic feeling, the mid-race race fatigue, that feeling that's harder to replicate in practice that is the only question mark still."
Coburn is inspired by the performances and range of her competitors.
"They're just pushing themselves that much further and faster and harder, developing their skills in other event areas," she said. "I see Stephanie Garcia and Ashley Higginson run sub-15:20 in a 5K — it makes me want to go out and run a 5K and try to run it fast."
Coburn noted that she and Higginson each have the World "A" standard for two events (1500m and steeple) and that Garcia, the former UVa standout, has it for three (1500m, 5000m and steeple), showing that the top American women's steeplers are world-class distance runners. Garcia and Higginson are two of just 11 American women to break 15:20 in the 5000m this year, and Coburn and Garcia rank ninth and 11th in the 1500m among Americans this season.
Coburn knows that it's not just the pros who are threats to break into the top three and make it to Beijing. She herself made the Worlds team in 2011 and the Olympic team in 2012 coming off collegiate seasons at Colorado. The hardest part for Quigley, Frerichs, Michigan State's Leah O'Connor and others may not be making the team but finding a way to get to the World Championships fresh.
"It's hard sometimes for collegians to maintain the strength through the summer, just because they've done full cross-country, full indoor, full outdoor seasons," she said. "My very first season doing it, by the time I got to the World Championships final, I was exhausted."
Nonetheless, the pros' fitness in August will be little consolation if a collegian or two pips them for spots on the team this week, as Higginson knows.
"I think about three or four of them have a shot," said Higginson, a World Championship qualifier in 2013. "They're really excited about their first national meet, and with that comes some stress but also some magic can come out of that. They are mature young women — they're not going to give us any respect, and they're going to be right there. I'm getting old."
Rather than getting old, Higginson, at 26, is likely in the heart of her prime as many of her competitors enter theirs to create perhaps the deepest American women's steeplechase field ever. Two years ago, on a hot day in Des Moines, Iowa, Bush won the national title without breaking 9:40 and Coburn won the year before in Eugene without breaking 9:30.
"I think it's gonna take sub-9:20 to win, and I think it's gonna take 9:25 to make the team, so I better be in sub-9:20 shape," she said.
The weather may get in the way of fast times, but the sentiment is right. Led by Coburn, who should be a serious medal threat in August, the American women steeplers have grown in quality and depth to the point that it may take a sub-9:25 effort to make the team.
"We're competitive, and It's good that we can push each other," said Coburn. "As a unit, it's contagious when someone starts running well — the momentum can start going and everyone starts trying to match it."

Leslie Wietscher, my community and constituent liaison, works out of the district office, as does my amazingly-dedicated volunteer: Bill Henry ("Senior"). My administrative assistant, Nia Govan, and my legislative aide, Tim Goldsby, both split their time between City Hall and the district office.
While the staff is there earlier and later, the district office is generally open to walk-ins from 11am to 4pm, Monday through Friday, or by appointment on early mornings, evenings and weekends.
You can reach all of us by email at bill.henry@baltimorecity.gov or by phone at 410-396-4830.
If your 4th District community association, church group, or school is interested in hosting a movie night or showing a presentation at a meeting, please check with my office about using our portable projector and screen.
For more information, please contact Leslie Wietscher at Leslie.Wietscher@BaltimoreCity.gov or by phone at 410-396-4830 to confirm availability and discuss policies for usage.

The city of Mobile is situated on the west bank of the Mobile River, a short distance above its entry into the Bay of Mobile. The bay stretches about thirty miles below the city, and is connected with the Gulf of Mexico by a narrow strait. The town of Mobile, by an act of Congress passed 22d July, 1813,1 was designated as the only port of entry for a collection district bounded by West Florida on the east, and Louisiana on the west, and comprising the bays, inlets, and rivers emptying into the gulf. The Bay of Mobile is a part of this district. Vessels anchor twenty- five miles below the city, and are unladen there upon lighters, which bring their cargoes to the town. Those coming from Great Britain frequently bring a cargo of salt, and cargoes of this kind are generally sold in advance of their arrival, or as soon as they reach the bay, before bulk is broken, or they are unloaded.
In this state of commercial practice one Waring was in the habit of buying and selling salt thus imported. His custom was to purchase the entire cargo, which came in sacks, before the goods were entered at the custom-house, and usually before the arrival of the vessel, or while it was [75 U.S. 110, 111] in the lower bay. When it arrived in the lower bay, he furnished his own lighters, and took the cargo from off the vessel. Until the time of such delivery the risk remained in the shippers. The consignees made the entries, presented the invoices and bills of lading, made the necessary deposit of coin for the estimated amount of the duties, and procured the permits; and when the duties were finally liquidated as required by law and the regulations of the Treasury Department, they adjusted and paid the balance.
This court has decided, in Brown v. State of Maryland,2 that under no form or pretence can any State levy any tax upon an article imported into or exported from that State; that all such proceedings by the State are absolutely null; that till articles imported from abroad have lost their character of 'an import,' and have become incorporated with [75 U.S. 110, 112] the great mass of property, within the State, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of State authority. We rest upon the doctrine of these cases, and contend that, on the facts of this case, the right of interference by the State of Alabama had not arisen, as to this property or its proceeds.
That whether the cargoes were contracted for before or after the arrival of the vessel in the bay was unimportant, as in either case, they remained wholly at the risk of the shipper or his consignee, until they were safely delivered to the lighters of Waring in the Bay of Mobile. [75 U.S. 110, 113] That until this delivery, neither the condition nor the weight or number of the sacks could be ascertained, and until this was done, it remained uncertain what was to be paid.
Merchants and traders, engaged in selling merchandise in the city of Mobile in the State of Alabama, are required by an ordinance passed by the corporate authorities to pay a tax to the city equal to one-half of one per cent. on the gross amount of their sales, whether the merchandise was sold at private sale or at public auction; and if they were so engaged the six months next preceding the 1st day of April, 1866, they were also required, within fifteen days thereafter, to return, under oath, to the collector of taxes, the gross amount of their sales during that period of time; and the [75 U.S. 110, 114] provision was, that if any such merchant or trader neglected or failed to make such return, he should be subject to such a fine, not exceeding fifty dollars per day, as the mayor of the city might impose for each day's failure or refusal.
Sales of merchandise were made by the complainant within that period to a large amount, and he was duly notified that he was required to make return, under oath, of the gross amount of such sales, and having neglected and refused to comply with that requirement within the time specified in the ordinance, the mayor of the city caused a summons to be issued and duly served, commanding the complainant to appear before him, as such mayor, to answer for such neglect, but he refused to obey the commands of the summons, and thereupon a warrant was issued, and he was arrested and brought before the mayor to answer for such contempt; and, after hearing, he was sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars for a breach of the before-mentioned ordinance. Subsequently, a second notice of a similar character was given, and the complainant still neglecting and refusing to make the required returns, he was again summoned to appear before the mayor to answer for the neglect, but he refused a second time to obey the commands of the precept, and, thereupon, such proceedings were had that he was again found guilty of contempt and was sentenced to pay an additional fine of fifty dollars.
Regarding these proceedings as unwarranted, the complainant filed a bill in equity against the mayor and tax-collector of the city, in the local Chancery Court, in which he prayed that the respondents might be enjoined from collecting the fines adjudged against him, and from any attempt to collect the tax, and that the tax might be adjudged to be null and void. Proofs were taken and the parties were heard, and the final decree of the Chancellor was, that the complainant was entitled to the relief asked, and that the injunction should be made perpetual; but that decree, on the appeal of the respondents to the Supreme Court of the State, was, in all things, reversed, and the Supreme Court entered a decree that the bill of complaint should be dismissed. Whereupon [75 U.S. 110, 115] the complainant in the Chancery Court sued out a writ of error, under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act, and removed the cause into this court.
Ships frequently go there in ballast for cargoes of cotton, [75 U.S. 110, 116] and those going there for that purpose from Liverpool frequently carry salt, using it in many cases as ballast instead of thr articles more usually employed, which do not pay freight. Such shipments are made by the owners or charterers of the vessel, and the salt, whether stowed as cargo or used as ballast, is usually consigned to the agents of the vessel. Purchases of salt imported under such circumstances were made by the complainant to a very large amount, and the record shows that he sold the salt at his place of business in the city to traders and large consumers in the original packages. The contracts to purchase were made before the goods were entered at the custom-house, with the consignees of the salt, sometimes before and sometimes after the arrival of the vessel at the anchorage in the lower harbor, but the terms of the contract in all cases were that the risk should continue to be in the shipper until the salt was delivered to the complainant over the side of the vessel into his lighters. He agreed to furnish the lighters and to bring them alongside of the vessel, and the contract was that the salt, when it was transshipped into the lighters of the complainant, became his property, and he assumed the risk and expense of transporting the same to the wharf and from thence to his own warehouse or place of business; but if the goods were lost before such delivery the agreement to purchase was not obligatory.
Viewed in the light of these conceded facts the defendants contend that the complainant was not the importer of the salt; that the salt was imported by the owners of the vessel, and that the sale of the salt as made by the consignees to the complainant was a sale of imported merchandise.
Reference need not be made to the subsequent proceedings of the appraisers, weighers, and gaugers, preparatory to the liquidation of the duties, as no one pretends that ony of those acts can be performed before the goods are imported.
In order to obtain a permit to discharge the salt into the lighters in this case, the proof is full to the point, that a deposit of coin had to be made at the custom-house by the consignees, and that the duties were finally paid by them as liquidated, after the true weight of the salt was ascertained by the return of the weighers. They made the entries, presented the invoices and bills of lading, made the necessary deposit of coin for the estimated amount of the duties, and procured the permits; and when the duties were finally liquidated as required by law and the regulations of the Treasury Department, they adjusted and paid the balance.
Whether the contracts to purchase were made before or after the vessel arrived in the bay is quite immaterial, as the agreement was, that the risk should continue to be in the owner or consignees until they delivered the salt into the complainant's lighters, alongside of the vessel. Delivery, under the terms of the contract, could not be made before the vessel arrived, nor before the salt was legally entered at the custom-house, as the hatches could not be removed for any such purpose until the permit was received from the collector.
By that section it is provided that where a ship or vessel shall be prevented by ice from getting to the port or place at which her cargo is intended to be delivered, the collector of the district may receive the report and entry of such ship or vessel, . . . and grant a permit for unlading or landing the goods imported, at any place within his district, [75 U.S. 110, 121] which shall appear to him most convenient and proper. Variations from the usual course of proceedings in such matters are also necessarily made at all the ports and places where lighters are required in loading and unloading ships and vessels engaged in commerce and navigation.
Congress has the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes, and the Constitution also provides that no State shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection laws, with a view to raise a revenue for State purposes. The State of Maryland passed a law requiring all importers of foreign articles, enumerated in the law, and other persons selling the same by wholesale, before they should be authorized to sell the imported articles, to take a license, for which they were required to pay fifty dollars, and in case of refusal or neglect, the provision was, that they should forfeit the amount of the license tax and be subject to a fine of one hundred dollars. 18 Subsequently an importing merchant, resident in the State, refused to pay the tax, and the State court sustained the validity of the State law, and imposed on him the penalty [75 U.S. 110, 122] therein prescribed. Dissatisfied with the judgment he removed the cause into this court by writ of error, and this court held, Marshall, C. J., giving the opinion of the court, that the State law was a tax on imports, and that the mode of levying it, as by a tax on the occupation of the importer, merely varied the form in which the tax was imposed without varying the substance; that while the articles imported remained the property of the importer in his warehouse in the original forms or packages in which they were imported, a tax upon them was too plainly a duty on imports to escape the prohibition of the Constitution, but the court admitted that whenever the importer has so acted upon the thing imported that it has become incorporated and mixed with the mass of property in the country, it must be considered as having lost its distinctive character as an import, and as having become subject to the taxing power of the State.
When the importer sells the imported articles, or otherwise mixes them with the general property of the State by breaking up the packages, the state of things changes, as was said by this court in the leading case, as the tax then [75 U.S. 110, 123] finds the articles already incorporated with the mass of property by the act of the importer.

There are certainly a few purveyors of fine bagelry in our fair city, but there's something about Bross that really captures what I feel a bagel should be: doughy enough to create chew, but not overly dense; generous fillings, but not overpowering the natural bagel flavour. Bross and I are on the same bagel wavelength. Interestingly, they also offer quite the selection of vegan fillings and gluten free bagels are also available. Everyone's a winner.
Owned by Montreal native Lara Bross, Bross Bagels deliver some excellent combinations out in their first store in Portobello and many will now be available in the city. So keep an ear out for the bagel bell signifying fresh bagels, made in an impressive piece of kit by the guys from Breadshare. Then choose from classics with a twist, like salt beef, melted swiss cheese and sauerkraut, or hot smoked salmon and jalapeno cream cheese with pickles. Pair it with Brooklyn beer or Bon Accord juice for a lovely, satisfying eat from 10am til late, 7 days a week.

In 2013, he founded Eleven James (named after James Bond), a New York City–based service that lets users borrow $5,000-plus watches, typically for two to three months at a time. It currently has a membership in the "low thousands," 40 percent of which are millennials. It claims to have amassed one of the largest watch collections in the world.
The service just raised $30 million of capital, following the $10 million raised after its debut. The new funding will be used to establish a new women's rental service and target corporate customers.
Eleven James, and services like it, are part of what is called "the sharing economy," the growing sector built around the renting, rather than the purchasing, of goods.
A Piper Jaffray report notes that while renting is nothing new, the trend was boosted by the ease of communication enabled by the internet—in particular, the early success of peer-to-peer services like eBay and Napster—and by the Great Recession and corresponding drop in consumer demand.

Never attend a for-profit college
Earlier this month, the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity released a report on what, precisely, is driving the massive wave of defaults on student loans. By cross-comparing federal student loan data with tax information provided by individual borrowers going back several decades, the report's authors found that the current crisis in student loan defaults is concentrated largely among "non-traditional" borrowers at for-profit colleges. These are students who turned to proprietary schools during and after the recession, and who emerged with hefty debt and poor job prospects regardless of whether they'd attained their degrees.
These Are the Worst Colleges in America
Many of these colleges are dropout factories, where students are unlikely to graduate and prices, debt levels, and student loan default rates are high.
The list features eleven private for-profit colleges and nine private non-profit institutions. No public universities are represented.

Report: Biden State Dept. Shut Down Trump Admin. Probe Into the Origins of COVID-19 Pandemic
By Debra Heine
The Biden State Department reportedly shut down the Trump administration's investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that was looking into the possibility that the virus was accidentally released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The inquiry, which was being carried out by the State Department's arms control and verification bureau, was launched at the request of former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Fox News reported.
The Biden administration quietly terminated the probe after being briefed on the team's initial findings in February and March, according to Fox.
A State Department official told Fox News that Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not disband any cell looking into the origins of COVID-19, and that the department only employed a single contractor who was conducting research on several topics – including coronavirus. That contractor, according to the official, left the State Department before Blinken's confirmation. The official said the inquiry was closed amid concerns about methodology.
The contractor leading the Trump administration's investigation was David Asher, Fox reported.
Asher has a history of investigative work tracking money for the AQ Khan network, North Korea's nuclear program, and top Al Qaeda leaders, but has fallen under scrutiny from former State Department officials.
In a statement to Fox News, Asher defended the investigation, and said that, at the time, some State Department colleagues "were deliberately playing down possible links to China's biological weapons program."
"It is U.S. law to engage in effective arms control and nonproliferation, not facilitate it via 'scientific cooperation' in the name of threat reduction or refusal to engage in effective compliance with Communist countries that openly aim to incorporate synthetic biology into the future of warfare (apparently with our naive material and scientific assistance)," Asher said.
"We don't know for certain what happened in Wuhan but we had every reason to investigate and ask questions," Asher continued. "As the State Department's Jan. 15 statement said – and as additional disclosures and expert analyses of the last few months have underscored – there is probable cause for deep suspicion."
Asher left the State Department at the end of the Trump administration, but helped to put together a memo on Jan. 15 that was released by Pompeo.
The memo stated that the Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborated on "secret projects" with China's military, and that "despite the WIV presenting itself as a civilian institution, the United States has determined that the WIV has collaborated on publications and secret projects within China's military" since "at least 2017."
Asher told Fox News that "certainly the Chinese Communist Party engaged in a huge coverup over the stealth ability of COVID to transmit human-to-human."
"The coverup continues via refusal to allow WHO access, accept CDC offers to assist, and simply tell the truth of this pandemic's endemic dangerous, incessant and pernicious injurious traits, which has caused huge injury to the American people and citizens of the world, Chinese citizens included," he said. "Does anyone sane doubt that?"
In an unmistakable jab at the Biden regime, Asher added that he doesn't "know why the Biden team would doubt an effort to carry out a fair and accurate investigation into a subject that increasing numbers of leading scientists are now also calling to study."
"At the State Department in the last months of the last administration we didn't draw or assert any conclusions, but we worked successfully to reveal certain facts and raise significant questions about the clear plausibility of a lab leak origin," Asher said. "This was a global public service, and it is good that experts and journalists are increasingly turning their own attention to the issue, albeit belatedly."
Amid the increased calls for action, the Biden White House National Security Council has launched its own "investigation" into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Biden officials are also calling on the World Health Organization (WHO) to further investigate the origins of the coronavirus. However, a joint study by the WHO and Chinese officials on the origins of the virus already concluded in March that humans likely became infected with the virus through bats, and that the lab leak theory was "extremely unlikely."
Dr. Peter Daszak, a now infamous British zoologist and expert on disease ecology, was a member of WHO's team of ten international experts investigating the outbreak.
The Fauci-led National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) allegedly funded a controversial type of research called "gain-of-function research" at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through Daszak's global health and pandemic prevention nonprofit, EcoHealth Alliance. This "gain of function" research involved experiments that increased the ability of Sars-related bat coronaviruses to infect humans.
EcoHealth subcontracted the risky research to Dr Shi Zhengli, head of the infectious disease unit at the Wuhan lab. Gain-of-function research was banned for several years in the United States out of fear it could spark a pandemic, but Fauci's NIAID appears to have gotten around that by laundering funding through Daszak's organization.
Daszak was behind an early effort to label any reporting that suggested COVID-19 could have accidentally escaped from the Wuhan lab as "conspiracy theories."
The scientist orchestrated a statement that was published in The Lancet medical journal in February of 2020, condemning any and all "conspiracy theories" that suggest the virus doesn't have a natural origin.
The statement was cited by numerous news outlets — and by fact check organizations to censor investigative reporting on the true origin of the COVID-19 virus.
Now a group of top scientists from around the world are pushing back on the WHO's conclusion that it is "extremely unlikely" COVID-19 leaked from a Wuhan lab, saying in an open letter that the theory is "viable" and deserves "a proper investigation."
Eighteen prominent scientists, including a Harvard University epidemiologist and a Stanford University microbiologist, are calling for a "transparent" and "data-driven" probe into the origins of the pandemic that has killed more than 3.34 million people worldwide as of Friday.
"Theories of accidental release from a lab and zoonotic spillover both remain viable," the scientists wrote in a letter published earlier this month in the journal Science.
"Knowing how COVID-19 emerged is critical for informing global strategies to mitigate the risk of future outbreaks."
The Biden administration is now purportedly calling for WHO and China to be more transparent and to provide more data and information to U.S. officials about the research at the Wuhan lab.
"We're hopeful that we can move into a more transparent, independent phase two investigation," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday, calling for "access to the underlying data and information."
"An international investigation led by the World Health Organization is something that we've actually been pressing for for several months in coordination with a range of partners around the world," Psaki continued. "We need that data. We need that information from the Chinese government. What we can't do, and what I would caution anyone from doing is leaping ahead of an actual international process."
Fauci, meanwhile, who denied for months that his NIAID funded gain-of-function research in China, admitted when questioned about it during a Senate hearing on Wednesday, that "there's no way of guaranteeing" American taxpayer money didn't help fund "gain-of-function" research at the Wuhan lab.

The time is right for adopting a framework for the protection of cultural heritage.
The J. Paul Getty Trust, prompted by the destruction of cultural heritage in Syria and Iraq, is enlisting the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect to engage in an educational campaign for the protection of cultural heritage in conflict zones.
The campaign seeks to raise awareness of UN Member States regarding the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict and its additional protocols, as well as recent resolutions by the UN Security Council.
To that end, the J. Paul Getty Trust has initiated a series of papers on culture at risk.
Cultural Genocide and the Protection of Cultural Heritage, examines the various lenses through which the international community defines attacks on cultural heritage—legal, accountability, security, counterterrorism, and atrocity prevention—and proposes a sixth, cultural genocide, that can be used to recast the debate over how to best protect the world's cultural heritage.
Edward C. Luck is Arnold A. Saltzman Professor of Professional Practice and Director of the Specialization in International Conflict Resolution, School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), Columbia University. From 2008 to 2012, he served as United Nations assistant secretary-general and as the first special adviser to the UN secretary-general for the responsibility to protect (R2P).
Cultural Cleansing and Mass Atrocities: Protecting Cultural Heritage in Armed Conflict Zones, addresses the connection between cultural heritage and cultural cleansing, mass atrocities, and the destruction of cultural heritage. Pulling together various threads of discourse and research, Cultural Cleansing and Mass Atrocities outlines the issues, challenges, and options effecting change.

When people imagine Al-Andalus, Muslim Spain, they immediately think of a Golden Age of art and thought ushered in by the Moors. The problem is that the term Moor can refer to several groups of people. My presentation examines the origins of the term along with developing a narrative for its usage in Europe throughout history. The presentation explores notions of race and ethnicity in Medieval Spain and more broadly Europe. It also considers representation of Arabs/Muslims throughout history and how this discourse of representation has affected modern Arab/Muslim identity in the West.

Isafdar Arandar - Pages :: Tip.It RuneScape Help :: The Original RuneScape Help Site!
Tirannwn, the realm of Elves, is sheltered behind the Arandar mountains west of Ardougne. There are currently four ways to access the area; all of which become available through increasingly more difficult quests. The first is the long and deadly Underground Pass quest. The second, actually involving this area, is the Regicide quest which rewards you with an entrance through a secret gate in north-east Arandar. The third is the Mournings' End part 1 quest which grants you a teleportation seed with up to three charges that are easily and cheaply recharged by Eluned. (It is also worth mentioning that you need to complete the Plague City and Biohazard quests as prerequisites to gain access.) The fourth way to reach this realm is via Charter ship to Port Tyras - however, you must have completed the Regicide quest. Obviously, it's a long and hard road to reap the benefits of Tirannwn.
Getting around in Tirannwn is no easy task either. The Isafdar forest is riddled with calamitous agility obstacles. In fact you need a minimum Agility level of 56 to even tread its arduous paths. Various traps and obstacles include spike pits camouflaged with leaves, trip wires that set off poisoned darts, sharpened stick spring traps and dense forest which require great feats of contortion to navigate through. It is essential to bring food, anti-poison and a means of escape via teleport anytime you traverse this area.
There are several areas of interest throughout the forest mires. The elusively sought halberds are acquired in Tyras Camp from the Quartermaster. After the completion of Regicide, the Dragon Halberd becomes available. The south-east corner of Lletya has become a prime location to harvest flax, with a bank just a few paces away. High level thieves can enjoy thieving from the elves in Lletya as well. Four Adamantite ores are found west of Lletya hidden in the trees. Be wary of traps along the way. Additionally, there is a grove of Magic Trees a short walk from Lletya where Eluned and Islywns appear from time to time. Ilfeen, found in the depths of Isafdar, recharges crystal seeds for both Crystal Bows and Crystal Shields after you have completed the Roving Elves quest. Elf Warriors in the Elf Camp are popular foes and are also assigned as Slayer tasks. Furthermore, shark fishing is also available a short walk north-west of the Elf Camp. Herblorists will note that many Red spiders' eggs spawn in Arandar, and White berries spawn in Isafdar.
In summary, a large, complex, dangerous, fruitful and ever-growing area.
Bringing a hatchet and tinderbox to cook rabbit and bear meat would be wise, especially if your agility level is low.
When jumping leaf traps, be sure to click on the edge closest to your character to start your jump.
