Truth Squad | Scare tactics on Michigan redistricting measure get foul rating
A new radio ad by Prop 2 opposition group Protect My Vote says a citizens redistricting commission would "cost you an insane amount of money" and ensure tax revenue no longer goes to roads and schools. (Photo courtesy of Kevin Dooley, Flickr CC)

[CORRECTION: This Truth Squad originally said comissioners' salaries would be 25 percent of the governor's pay. In fact, Proposal 2 calls for commissioners to be paid "at least" 25 percent of the governor's salary, as decided by the Legislature. The article has been updated.]
A new radio ad running throughout Michigan from Protect My Vote raises the prospect of unchecked spending if Proposal 2, the initiative to change the state's redistricting system, is approved by voters.
The ad seizes on a major criticism by opponents to Prop 2: It would likely cost more money to create a proposed 13-citizen commission to decide how legislative lines are drawn in the state. Currently, whichever political party is in power in Lansing controls the drawing of state and congressional maps.

Because the ad contains several whoppers, Truth Squad rates it a foul.
The minute-long ad says Prop 2 "will cost you an insane amount of money." It continues:
Proposal 2 writes a blank check to 13 new "commissioners" for a new bureaucracy, and they can spend whatever they want. No limits on staffing, lawyers, or consultants. Or themselves. Unlimited pay and perks.
If Proposal 2 passes, their spending spree is in your constitution forever. Your taxes won't be fixing roads or teaching children. You'll be paying for a whole new lifestyle for 13 people picked out of a hat. Lucky thirteen!
The nugget of truth at the center of this ad is the part of Proposal 2 (section 6, subsection 5 for those following along at home) that requires the state to "indemnify" — a.k.a. reimburse — the commission for any costs beyond what the legislature appropriates.
That may be considered a "blank check," but the commission can't indiscriminately spend money as this ad suggests.
The ballot proposal specifically restricts spending to the tasks necessary for the commission to fulfill its duties. While that's no guarantee some future commissioners won't try to sneak in extra expenses (those unlimited "perks" the ad references), it would exceed a commissioner's authority to do so. And commissioners' spending would have many, many eyes on it: The commission would have to be audited annually and have spending reports sent to the legislature and the governor.
Individual commission members' pay is listed as at least 25 percent of the governor's salary. Currently, 25 percent amounts to $39,825 annually. They could theoretically get more than that but, importantly, it's lawmakers, not commissioners, who set their pay. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary in Michigan is $48,300. So a commissioner's salary of just under 40 grand may constitute a lifestyle, but hardly the kind suggested by the ad.
Without a doubt, Prop 2 would create a more expensive system than Michigan's current one, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Citizens Research Council of Michigan: $878,000 was appropriated for the last round of redistricting in 2011 (not including the amount spent to defend maps in court, which can be significant).
If Prop 2 passes, the state would appropriate $4.6 million annually for the commission until all legal challenges to its work are over. The commission would be required to return unused funds. The CRC estimates that over a 10-year redistricting cycle, funding for the process would be around $10 million. That equates to .01 percent of the General Fund (and roughly $1 per Michigander per decade). By comparison the Michigan legislature appropriated $4.8 billion for the Department of Transportation and $14.8 billion for the school aid fund this fiscal year alone.
"Voters have a right to know just how expensive Proposal 2 will be," said Tony Daunt, spokesperson for Protect My Vote and frequent critic of Prop 2, in a press release. "Worse, the proposal would cram this massive new bureaucracy and spending into the state's constitution, which means voters would have almost no recourse to ever do anything about it."
Daunt is right that putting a new redistricting system in the state constitution would make it harder to change. However, it wouldn't necessarily be "in your constitution forever," as the ad states.
There are three ways to change the state constitution, and constitutional amendments have been changed before. For example, Article IV Sec. 12 was amended twice — once in 1968 and again in 2002.
It's also not true, as the ad claims, that paying for a redistricting commission means your tax dollars wouldn't go to fixing roads or schools. In fact, the state constitution itself directly requires some tax money for roads and some for schools. Prop 2 would not change that.
It's vital that Michiganders consider the cost of any new public policy before they vote on it. But Protect My Vote's new ad uses a combination of scare tactics, exaggeration and falsehoods to reach unsubstantiated conclusions.
We give it a foul.

Truth Squad rating categories
Truth Squad has reduced the number of rating categories to the following:
FAIR: The ad or statement is generally accurate and fairly and credibly presents the speaker's position on the issue at hand.
MISLEADING: While individual parts of the ad or statement may be accurate, it reaches a conclusion or leaves an impression about an issue or candidate that is misleading in important respects
FOUL: The ad or statement contains one or more material factual errors
You've got a dozen people in these very comment sections spreading disinformation about Prop 2. Fact checking them when they pop up would be nice
I'm sorry to disagree, but you yourselves have just told a "whopper"!!!
"Individual commission members' pay is specifically listed as 25 percent of the governor's salary. "
That is NOT true. Individual commission members' pay is specifically listed as AT LEAST 25 percent of the governor's salary. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!
They are also not limited to what "consultants" they use or how much they pay them, opening the door to all kinds of backroom "cousin Jimmy" kickbacks and corruption. I haven't found any spending oversight by legislators in the proposal.
The proposal also does not put a 2 year limit on the map drawing (thus the $10 million expected cost), no timelines at all are specified. The redrawing process could last 10 years, and theoretically, they wouldn't even have to retire from the position if it lasted longer than that, and another 13 would be hired to redraw again.
I just wonder who in their right mind would leave a good job for a 2 year position at the government? I guess current job seekers who don't have any politicians in their families. So that means recent college grads and the unemployed. Great.

Mr. Graham, please don't believe the propaganda that is being spread about this. This is a site for discussing truth.
I encourage you to look at section 7 - it specifically says "Not later than November 1 in the year immediately following the federal decennial census, the commission shall adopt a redistricting plan under this section for each of the following types of districts: state senate districts, state house of representative districts, and congressional districts"
Please also look at section 5 - "The legislature shall appropriate funds sufficient to compensate the commissioners and to enable the commission to carry out its functions, operations and activities...at an amount equal to not less than 25 percent of the general fund/general purpose budget for the secretary of state for that fiscal year."
And then later in section 5 - "The commission shall furnish reports of expenditures, at least annually, to the governor and the legislature and shall be subject to annual audit as provided by law."
Mr. Richardson,
Two people can look at the same topic in different lights and disagree without disrespecting each other.
In that vain, I respectfully disagree with you. Although you are correct about section 7, it does not say what will happen if they fail to adopt a redistricting plan. Section 18, however, does say their term ends after judicial review of the plan. To me, this indicates a term of service lasting indefinitely. Until the regulations that implement this process are created that define the procedures, limits, timelines, consequences for failure, etc..., all of this is up in the air. The might adopt regulations that say if the commission hasn't created a map in the required timeline then the courts must draw the map, unless there is no change in the number of districts in which case they remain the same.
"at an amount equal to not less than 25 percent of" means that a bottom limit has been set, not a top limit. The legislation then goes on to say that any expense the commission has will be reimbursed. Again, no limit has been set.
The US Supreme Court has defined "needful and necessary" spending as (paraphrasing) any spending that is vaguely associated with the purpose of the department the spending came out of, and of course this only applies to federal spending. If an audit finds the that commissioners spent money directly on themselves, yes that would be caught in an audit. Other "needful" spending that is indirectly related to the process will be accepted without challenge.
I'm looking forward to the regulatory process to implement this. The devil is always in the details.
Mr. Graham,
Section 6, Paragraph 7: "The secretary of state shall issue a call convening the commission by October 15 in the year of the federal decennial census. Not later than November 1 in the year immediately following the federal decennial census, the commission shall adopt a redistricting plan under this section for each of the following types of districts: state senate districts, state house of representative districts, and congressional districts."
Section 6, Paragraph 14, Sub clause C: "A final decision of the commission to adopt a redistricting plan requires a majority vote of the commission, including at least two commissioners who affiliate with each major party, and at least two commissioners who do not affiliate with either major party. If no plan satisfies this requirement for a type of district, the commission shall use the following procedure to adopt a plan for that type of district:"
Sub clause C then describes a ranked choice voting process and ends with:
"If no plan meets the requirements of this subparagraph, the secretary of state shall randomly select the final plan from among all submitted plans pursuant to part (14)(C)(I)"
You say, "Until the regulations that implement this process are created that define the procedures, limits, timelines, consequences for failure, etc..., all of this is up in the air. " I think those regulations that you are searching for are already quite adequately defined in the proposal.
As to your discussion on "needful and necessary" spending, I still submit to you that the legislature and Governor would have ultimate authority over the commission's spending, with the added check (unique from the current process) that the commission's expenses would be public record and subject to audit. Currently the money spent on redistricting is not required to be made public or separate from the legislatures "regular" duties.
I, too, look forward to the implementation of this commission. I believe that many will be pleasantly surprised as the full thoughtfulness of this proposal comes into view.
Bob Dunn
You just do not want this probably because of your loyalty to a party and the Chamber of Commerce. This proposal threatens the control of the majority party power and gives it back to the people. As for who might want these positions there are many individuals who have retired early in life or those who retired and are looking for something else. Representatives run for a two-year term with no guarantees they will be reelected. Yet, they quit their jobs to provide a service. Other people can too. I would rather trust a representative commission versus one party making the decision.
Hmm. Isn't the state legislature a representative body? And it's even elected, unlike this commission! So maybe your problem isn't the body doing the re-districting isn't representative, but but who is in the majority?
After over 200 years of 'gerrymandering' what material harm can you link to majority Party setting districts, what material positive impact can we expect from the change, has 'gerrymandering' prevented the majority Party from loosing their majority?
If the answer is 'no' to these questions then this is at best an exercise in the use of ballot proposal process because people can and at worst an attempt by those out of the majority fearing a long time from their regaining it to grab at any change.

This may not be appropriate place to ask the question but I hope to get an answer.
Normally, everyone has a national ID Number e.g. national identification card or passport. This number is normally unique across all the citizens of a country. But then we have other ID numbers e.g. registration number of a student at a university, or ID for health system or driving license etc.. I was wandering if there is any specific reason because of which all these numbers are kept separate ? What will be the repercussions of using the National Identification number in all the systems e.g. health system, driving license ++++?
Normally? The closest thing in the US is a SSN, which isn't unique in itself. The primary reason there is not a national ID is because we don't need one. For repercussions, google national id card.

Home > Interviews > Marianne Festraets (AB Logic) - The interview
by Klems
How did you meet the producers of AB Logic and how did the projet start? Were you a part of the creation, or did you just arrive as the singer after a casting or something?
In 1991 a friend told me that a studio in Ghent auditioned for a danceproject and they asked me to audition. They must have liked it because they chose me. The Hitman was already written at that time. The same friend knew a black guy from going out in Antwerp. K-Swing (Cedric Murril) and he came and auditioned too. But, he was lucky, he got to rewrite the raps. So we were brought together but we were no puppets on a string.
We both contributed and made an album together: Peter Gillis, Ronald Vanhuffel, Jacko Bultinck(manager) and the two of us.
Have you ever wanted to be a singer? Were you meant to have a totally different job before the AB Logic story started?
I started as a classical ballet dancer. I went to school at the royal ballet school of Flanders. My music teacher told me once: 'You should make records' and somehow this stayed in the back of my mind. I always wanted to sing and create. I had artistic blood running trough my veins. My mom was a dancer too and an actress.
Who are the groups you like the most? Were you into the 90's eurodance? Did you know personnaly some other groups back in time?
I was not really into that music at the time. I preferred Pop mainstream but I liked house and dance. I particulary loved SNAP. And we went on tour in south america with Snap. Those were the days. Turbo B (rapper of Snap, the big fellar was great and so was their tourmanager:-)).
But I never was very into groups, only more into songs. Very versatile.
All time favorites: Sade, Sting, Queen, George Michael and many others. But mainly mainstream.
How and why did AB Logic stop? Was it a decision from you to leave the group or the producers just stopped it?
AB Logic stopped because the producers were busy with Belgian projects. Pity because Belgium is such a little country. Our last single, which I wrote and co-produced was only released in Belgium. And in a very bad way.
We could have lasted much longer but our producers didn't think it was very important. Boy, were they wrong. But now its too late of course.
Are there some unreleased songs from AB Logic?
There are many unreleased songs from AB Logic. But they are not completely finished.
Can you tell me a bit more about K-Swing, like his real name, his musical career?
K-Swing (Cedric Murril) lived here in Belgium with his parents at SHAPE. His father was a militairy who traveled the world. Cedric decided to stay in Belgium. He had several girlfriends and lived with them. He worked as a model after AB Logic.
But, we were the best of friends and we looked out for eachother. The first tour in England and Scotland was very difficult and we didn't even know eachother very good back then.
Did you sing for any other groups during the 90's (especially in the dance/club area)?
No, I didn't sing in another group. I co-wrote songs.
What are your favourite songs from AB Logic?
My favorite songs are: Sea Of Love (I wrote the adlips and answers in the choruses but i didn't get to sign for it), You Promised Me (I wrote it) was slow and wasn't finished. It's more like a demo, there are some lyrics missing and the song ends abruptly. We should have had more time. In general we should have had more time. We only had The hitman and Get Up. And suddenly they wouldn't release anything in the States if we didn't have an album. So in a month everything was written and produced. I didn't sleep very much and I recorded What's It To You and It Takes Two with a larynx infection !
At the time I was fond of Mariah Carey. Her first and best album. When she was still acting normal and classy. I could do these very high notes that she did. You can hear it on Top Secret, Sea Of Love. By the way 'Top Secret was written by one of my best friends and producer Ronald Vanhuffel. He also is a Facebookfriend.
But I think the best sound is Get up and AB Logic. Not my voice but the sound, production.
Which country did you visit with AB Logic? Do you have special memories about your tours?
Countries: We begun in UK and Scotland, than we went to LA for the MTV awards radiostations. We didn't know what was happening to us. I had to quit my job because some dj picked us up and started to airplay the hitman. Suddenly we were in America., Then came Japan, (only Tokyo), then again USA tour, that was February 1993, than we went to South america, Caracas Venezuela, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica.
In September 1993 we went on tour in Australia. Then we went to Germany. A 3 weeks tour.
Have you any scoops, funny stories that you'd like to share?
Not many funny stories. It was hard work. But with nice people and I loved doing it , but... touring is not all glamour. It's airplanes, airports, radiostations, hotelrooms. One time , I remember, I woke up and I didn't know where I was...Which Country, which city?? In South America we needed bodyguards, can you believe it?
People are very warm. Once, in Beaumont Texas, we stayed Beaumont Hilton penthouse. There was a bodyguard outside my suite and I didn't know why. So I asked him :-). He said that otherwise they wouldn't leave me alone :-pp. Then the receptionist called my suite and asked me to hold my calls? I said: ' No, not necessary.' Boy, was that a mistake!!! So I called her back.;-)))
Since AB Logic stopped, what happened for you? Did you keep on in the music and dance business or did you totally change your life?
I always kept on making songs but I became a Aerobic and Funk teacher. I picked up my daytime job again (paperwork) Then I got married and,and.... baby....:-))
What's your opinion about the eurodance music from the 90's? It was so huge in Europe, I don't remember a lot of music genres who federated so many people at the same time. There were thousands of groups, a lot of groups had fake performers...
There were many copies of 2 Unlimited and Ab logic.

It is possible albeit labor-intensive to make specific checks for known senders. For example, domain paypal.com sends all of its mail from servers with names of the form host.tla.paypal.com where tla is a three letter city code. It is not hard to write a filter that checks the Received: line in mail with paypal.com return addresses to ensure that it came from one of those servers. This is quite effective, at least until Paypal changes server names or outsources some of their mail.
This can be useful for a few heavily phished domains, but the work involved makes it impractical in general. To the extent it validates the sending host, it is in effect a manual version of SPF.

All About Emotional Incest Syndrome
Medically reviewed by Janet Brito, Ph.D., LCSW, CST — By Courtney Telloian — Updated on Jul 25, 2022
Seeking help
When a parent turns to their child for the emotional intimacy a romantic partner should provide, it becomes emotional incest.
Emotional incest syndrome — often called emotional incest — doesn't involve physical sexual abuse. But some who have experienced emotional incest report that the effects can be similar.
Emotional incest is also called covert incest. It's closely related to the concepts of:
Enmeshment. Enmeshment involves relationships, often in a family, with blurry or nonexistent boundaries.
Parentification. Emotional incest is closest to the type of parentification known as emotional parentification, in which a child is forced to take on the emotional burden that a parent or caregiver would usually shoulder.
While similar to these concepts, emotional incest differs in that it specifically describes the relationship between a child and their parent or primary caregiver and doesn't include siblings or extended family. And rather than taking on the emotional role of parent, children take on the role of partner.
It's not known yet how common emotional incest is. It's even possible to grow up without realizing you've experienced it.
Still, emotional incest can impact mental health in ways that bleed into adulthood — and mental health support can lend a healing hand.
What is emotional incest syndrome?
It's not a diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, text revision (DSM-5-TR). Instead, covert incest is a phenomenon psychologist Kenneth M Adams highlighted and named in the 1980s.
In his book "Silently Seduced: When Parents Make Their Children Partners – Understanding Covert Incest," Adams uses examples to demonstrate how emotional incest can impact relationships and emotional well-being far into adulthood.
Researchers have developed a Childhood Emotional Incest Scale (CEIS) to help people understand if they've experienced it.
According to the CEIS, emotional incest is connected to both childhood emotional abuse and neglect. The CEIS involves two key factors: A surrogate spouse and unsatisfactory childhood.
In other words, experiencing emotional incest means you felt pressured to play the emotional role of partner to your parent — and as a result, you may have missed out on key parts of childhood such as friendships with people your age.
What are the causes?
Emotional incest often takes place when a parent lacks or has lost their own emotional support system, including their partner or spouse. They might feel isolated or not know how to find constructive outlets for difficult emotions in these cases.
For instance, emotional incest may be more common in cases of:
separation or divorce
lack of intimacy or emotional unavailability between parents
attachment trauma or fear of abandonment
specific mental health conditions such as personality disorders
Parents who experienced emotional incest as children may also expect their own child to play the same emotional role that they did with their parent.
What are the signs and symptoms?
In parents, emotional incest can look like the following:
crying and expecting your child to offer comfort
divulging deep or intimate secrets
requiring one-on-one time with your child while discouraging their friendships with peers
showing jealousy when your child spends time away from you
sharing responsibility for adult decisions such as finances, employment, or where to live
expecting compliments or praise from your child
While it doesn't involve explicit sex, emotional incest sometimes enters sexual territory. Parents might:
talk about their own sexual encounters
spend time with their child while nude
invade their child's privacy
comment on their child's body in sexual ways
take their child out on dates
Additionally, you might show some of the following signs if you were enmeshed with your caregiver as a child:
ignoring your own needs in favor of your parent's needs
missing out on child-appropriate activities such as extracurriculars or time with friends
feeling responsible for the emotions of others
people-pleasing behaviors or trouble saying "no"
alternating feelings of love and hatred for your parent
Emotionally incestuous relationships also create a lack of safety and warmth in the parent-child relationship, according to the CEIS.
Mental health effects
If you grew up in an enmeshed relationship with a parent, you might be familiar with the mental health impacts it can cause. These can include:
addictions or compulsive behaviors involving substances, food, or sex
disconnection from your own needs
trouble with intimacy or vulnerability in adult relationships
complex trauma (C-PTSD)
dissatisfaction with life
difficulty separating from parents in adulthood
trouble establishing your own identity outside of the parent-child relationship
A 2015 study on the effects of family enmeshment on children also associated it with trouble regulating, or managing, emotions.
If you experienced emotional incest syndrome, it's possible to heal from the impacts — although this can take time.
While no set path to treatment exists for survivors of emotional incest, you might find the following helpful:
Practice setting boundaries. A key sign of emotional incest is the breakdown of boundaries between parent and child. If you've been enmeshed with a parent, establishing healthy emotional boundaries may feel foreign or strange but it is possible.
Talk with a therapist. Some forms of therapy are particularly suited to helping you heal from emotional incest. Consider finding a therapist who specializes in topics such as family of origin and family dynamics.
Try inner child healing. Inner child work involves imagining talking with the child version of yourself and showing them the compassion and support you wish you'd received.
Find your support network. Creating space between your parent and you probably won't be easy if you're used to them crossing your boundaries. As you practice setting those boundaries, knowing you have a safe, supportive circle of friends and family to fall back on can help.
Journaling. Emotional incest can make it difficult to recognize and accept your own thoughts and feelings. By allowing you to practice getting your thoughts and emotions onto the page, journaling can help you exercise those muscles.
Where to seek help
If you're under the age of 18 and think you might be experiencing emotional incest (or aren't sure if what you're experiencing is sexual abuse), you're not alone. Help is available:
You can chat or call the National Sexual Assault Hotline 24/7, 365 days a year at 800-656-4673.
Consider talking with an adult you trust about next steps if you're not sure where to start.
For immediate help, you can call your local law enforcement or Child Protective Services.
And if you're an adult survivor of emotional incest, you might find the following resources helpful:
You can use this tool to find the right therapist for you.
Explore this forum for survivors of emotional incest.
You can check out the book "The Emotional Incest Syndrome: What to do When a Parent's Love Rules Your Life" for detailed info on emotional incest and how to heal.
Let's recap
Emotional incest is a family dynamic that oversteps healthy boundaries between children and parents. While it doesn't involve physical sexual abuse, it can share many of the effects of physical incest and emotional abuse.
Recognizing that you've experienced emotional incest can be a challenge since you may have developed tough defense mechanisms to protect you from emotional harm when your boundaries were crossed as a child.
Healing is still possible.
By setting some strong boundaries and building a constructive emotional support network, you can empower yourself to take part in thriving adult relationships and break the cycle of emotional incest if you chose to become a parent.

Financing an automobile or truck is remaining fairly affordable. Many monetary experts would say a personal mortgage needs to be one of many final financing choices you think about buying a car. It could be tough to get authorized for the larger quantities wanted for an automobile, and personal loans can have greater interest rates.
If you lease, you solely pay for a portion of an automobile's cost, in other words, you are paying for utilizing the automobile, not for the car itself. Chances are you'll or might not make a down fee, sales tax is simply charged on your monthly payments (in most states) and you pay a financial price referred to as a cash issue that is much like the interest rate on a mortgage. You might also pay special lease-related charges and a safety deposit.
For those with really dire credit score, Jones really useful getting pre-approval for an auto financing from a financial institution or credit union, which could higher prepare them for the automotive buying process. This pre-approval course of analyzes your revenue, bills, credit score rating, and credit report and determines if you qualify for an auto mortgage from the lender and the way much the lender could be prepared to lend.
If you have a bad credit score rating, it may be troublesome to pre-qualify for a car loan with a bad credit score at a financial institution. Banks are for-revenue organizations and are often more restrictive in who they lend to. But in case you have a relationship along with your bank, you'll have more luck to find a manageable automotive loan.
Ah, so it is 711 now? Relying on which model is used by the automobile dealer you could possibly get a decent rate. You might wish to discuss with an area credit union or group bank. Just watch out about letting a supplier store your mortgage as that could create a problem with inquiries.
A bad credit score car loans are available from finance corporations, credit score unions, and banks and main banks such as the Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion, and others. Consumers are supplied old and new auto loans with variable and glued charges and versatile amortization and repayment schedules.

Going through a divorce is stressful in and of itself. Having to navigate through North Carolina's complex divorce process in order to be granted one adds, even more, stress to an already difficult situation. The good news is that you don't have to go through this alone. Whether you are the one who has decided to file or if you have been recently served divorce papers, contacting a divorce or family law attorney will make things substantially easier for you and could potentially save you lots of money in the long run.
For the purpose of this article, we will address (1) the grounds for filing a divorce in North Carolina; (2) alternative options that the state offers divorce petitioners; and (3) the benefits of hiring an attorney for advice or to assist you through this process.
When two people get married, their union is considered a contract in the eyes of the law. This contract is only due to expire when a spouse dies. The request for a dissolution of marriage, also known as an absolute divorce, signifies that both parties want this contract to end prematurely. In order to do so, a spouse must have a valid legal reason, or "grounds," for filing a divorce for it to ultimately be granted by the court.
The line of reasoning that will be considered by a court to end a marriage is based on whether a state abides by fault laws or no-fault laws. Fault states require a spouse to prove that their husband or wife exhibited behavior that led to the breakdown of the marriage. Instances of "marital misconduct," such as infidelity or abuse in any form, must be proven in a claim to legitimize a divorce.
No-fault states do not demand that petitioners prove marital misconduct within a marriage. The only requirement to end a marriage in these jurisdictions is proving that a union is broken and cannot possibly be salvaged. As long as this sentiment is voiced by at least one spouse, the marriage can, by law, be dissolved.
The remaining states handle divorces using an approach that conflates both of the laws, by permitting judges to consider marital conduct while simultaneously offering spouses the option of acquiring a no-fault divorce.
A couple must have been physically separated for at least one year.
At least one spouse has resided in North Carolina six months prior to filing.
Another ground for obtaining a divorce in North Carolina is filing on the basis of incurable insanity. This ground is not marital misconduct and will not be treated as such. A spouse is considered incurably insane when he or she has been institutionalized in a medical facility for a total of three years, causing him or her to be separated from the other spouse. In order to prove incurable insanity, medical professionals must testify in a trial affirming that the healthy spouse's claims are accurate.
One spouse has abandoned another.
A spouse kicks the other spouse out of their residence.
A spouse has committed adultery.
A marriage contained instances of domestic violence.
A marriage contained alcohol and/or drug addiction.
There is proof of indignities (conduct that humiliates and degrades the other spouse), such as, abusive language and neglect.
Either spouse was already married to another person at the time of the marriage.
One spouse was forced to enter a marriage.
One spouse entered into a marriage due to the misrepresentation and lies of the other spouse.
Either spouse was too young to enter a marriage without court or parental approval.
The spouses are in a marriage that is legally considered incestuous.
One spouse was diagnosed emotionally disturbed or mentally ill at the time of marriage.
One spouse was incapacitated (under the influence of drugs or alcohol) at the time of marriage and could not properly consent to this decision.
One spouse was physically incapable of having sexual relations at the time of marriage and during the marriage.
In North Carolina, hiring an attorney to initiate the process of a divorce is not obligatory. However, state divorce laws are complex and make simple situations seem difficult and confusing. It would be in your best interest to consult with an attorney who is well-versed in state divorce law prior to filing to ensure that there aren't any other claims that you may wish to pursue.
North Carolina impedes a party who has already been granted a divorce from filing claims related to alimony and equitable distribution afterward. Even if you don't hire a divorce lawyer to represent you during this process, consulting with one for advice will help you to be able to make a well-informed decision based on your options and circumstances.
Going through a divorce is stressful, and it is almost never easy. This is an emotional time for both parties involved, and it seems as if nobody ever gets out unscathed. Either party in a divorce will benefit from the legal advice that the skilled attorneys at Caulder & Valentine have to offer. We are here to help you protect your best interest and help you move on with your life. Contact us today for a consultation.

Look Back of the Venice Carnival 2022, Italy
The Venice Carnival 2022 last from February 12 to March 1. Venice is a beautiful city famous for many things, from attractions such as the main squares and churches, to events capable of attracting thousands of tourists. The Venice carnival is the most anticipated event of the year in Venice: ten days of masquerade, shows, music, games and colors. The 2-week-long festival is about parades, concerts, markets, and of course the ornate Venetian masks.
"Remember the Future", this is the theme chosen for the 2022 edition under the artistic direction of Massimo Checchetto, was a real journey between past and present, which brought back to live the ancient traditions together with the modernity of a city that has its roots in a 1600-year-long past that is also capable of looking to the future. The Venice Carnival 2022 is a 18-day event with widespread events and shows that led Venetians and Italian and foreign guests to dress up throughout the municipal area.
The Venice Carnival brings a different air, an air of celebration and joy in anticipation of one of the major world events. The city atmosphere changes significantly during Carnival, the squares swarm with fun masks, the streets and squares are filled with colorful confetti while the Venetian canals are illuminated with the lights of this magical event.
The city goes crazy and fills with a cheering crowd. In the living room of Piazza San Marco and in the thousands of other fields you can freely attend theatrical performances and costume parades, concerts and historical re-enactments, entertainment for children and nights of wild dancing, gastronomic tastings and other sensory experiences.
The Carnival of Venice, rich in history, traditions and enchanting suggestions, is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the baroque atmosphere of a city full of charm. Venice is full of celebrations that drag the visitor into a kaleidoscope of emotions. The ancient Venetian palaces, architectural jewels, host luxurious masked parties that evoke the transgressive atmospheres, a golden age for carnival celebrations as evidenced by the particular shapes of the costumes worn with pride by the Venetians.
Venice Carnival is one traditions with strong foundation in culture with the significance and beauty. The whole world also gathers every year around this time gaze on its grandeur. Every year, the Venice Carnival turns the city into a spectacular riot of pageantry, colour, musical performances, fireworks displays and glamorous Venetian balls.

"Experiencing" the Carnival in Venice mean to savour every moment of the festival by definition. Venice offer a rich calendar of performances, shows and evens linked to its products of excellence. Literary, musical and theatrical tradition, both national and international, offers several suggestions that inspire the artistic and scenic choices.
Venice is a magical city, Ordinary Venice is exciting, but Venice during the Carnival is spellbinding, with a historically rich mixture of performance and dining, and, of course, the magnificent costumes, including the extravagant masks for which Venice is so famous. If you have never had a romantic encounter in Venice, perhaps you will have an opportunity to learn why countless generations of impassioned lovers have exclaimed that romance in Venice is the best romance there is.
The Venice Carnival includes a series of open-air public events that punctuate the two-weeks Carnival. The most important and festive events are masked balls and private parties organised in palaces to the rhythm of the nights of the Venice Carnival. For the Carnival, the streets are filled with celebrants dressed in luxurious, festive garb; experiencing Venice during the Carnival is like stepping back in time, with no modern buildings to spoil the illusion. One can wander the streets, taking in the costumes and street performances, or attend an evening party, an opera or concert, in one of the palaces or hotels accustomed to hosting royalty.
All of an evening you might experience walking up the stairs of a candlelit palace, expecting Casanova to make his advances; enjoying cocktails over the glimmering Grand Canal, abandoning your senses to pleasure; all while revealing your true identity only to carefully chosen intimates. After all this extravagance perhaps your night is completed by a mysterious, romantic, moonlight tryst, leaving you entranced and breathless, ready to meet the whole experience again the following day.

The Carnival of Venice is an annual festival held in Venice, Italy. It is one of the best known and most popular carnivals in the world. The festival is world-famous for its elaborate masks. Its origins are very ancient: the first evidence dates back to a document of the Doge Vitale Falier of 1094, where there is talk of public entertainment and in which the word Carnival is mentioned for the first time.
The institution of the Carnival by the Venetian oligarchies is generally attributed to the need of the Serenissima, like what already happened in ancient Rome (see panem et circenses), to grant the population, especially the humblest social classes, a period dedicated entirely for fun and celebrations, during which Venetians and foreigners flocked throughout the city to party with wild music and dancing.
Through the anonymity that masks and costumes guaranteed, a sort of leveling of all social divisions was achieved and even the public derision of the authorities and the aristocracy was authorized. These concessions were widely tolerated and considered a providential outlet to the tensions and discontent that inevitably arose within the Republic of Venice, which placed strict limits on its citizens on issues such as common morality and public order.
The Modern Carnival
Only in 1979, the centuries-old tradition of the Venice Carnival officially rose from its ashes, thanks to the initiative and commitment of some citizens' associations and the logistical and economic contribution of the Municipality of Venice, of the Teatro la Fenice., of the Venice Biennale and tourist boards.
Within a few editions, thanks also to the media visibility reserved for the event and the city, the Venice Carnival has returned to tracing the footsteps of the ancient event with great success, albeit in different ways and atmospheres.
The individual annual editions of this new Carnival have often been distinguished and dedicated to a basic theme, which inspires them for parties and surrounding cultural events. Some editions were also characterized by combinations and twinning with other Italian and European cities, thus providing further involvement of the event at an international level.
The current Carnival of Venice has become a great and spectacular tourist event, which attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world who flock to the city to participate in this festival considered unique for its history, atmosphere and masks.
The traditionally most important days of the Venetian Carnival are Shrove Thursday and Shrove Tuesday, even if the greatest influxes are certainly recorded during the weekends of the event.
With the first edition of the recent Carnival, a program of events and a detailed calendar for the new major event are simultaneously established. The date for the start of the official celebrations is established to coincide with the Saturday before Shrove Thursday and the end with Shrove Tuesday, for a total duration of only eleven days. Unlike the Carnival of the past, which for a long time had an official duration of six weeks, the modern one takes place with a concentrated program, but full of individual events.
As in the past, the Carnival of Venice still represents a great popular festival for a large audience of all ages. Street parties and events of all kinds animate the days of the groups of masks and tourists, who happily scatter around the city. In addition to the official parties in the square between campi and campielli, still today as in the past various private parties and masked balls are organized in the great Venetian palaces. In these places, rich in furnishings and atmospheres almost unchanged over time, it is possible to relive the ancient splendors and the tradition of the Carnival of the past.
The Feast of the Marys
Only in 1999 the ancient Festa delle Marie was finally restored, with an atmosphere that combines the historical re-enactment of the ancient procession with the girls with a more modern beauty pageant in costume. It was officially revived about six hundred years later, by Bruno Tosi
In the weeks preceding the Carnival, a sort of selection is held among the young local beauties to choose the twelve Marys destined to parade as protagonists of the procession, during the celebration. The party generally takes place on the afternoon of the first Saturday of the Carnival, when the twelve Marys, accompanied by a long procession made up of a procession of bridesmaids, flag-wavers, musicians and hundreds of other figures in period costume, begins its slow walk starting from the church of San Pietro di Castello and heading towards Piazza San Marco, between the wings of a crowd of masks and tourists.
In Piazza San Marco, the next day, the bridesmaids parade again awaiting the official proclamation of the winner of the edition, the most beautiful of the twelve (the so-called Mary of the year), to whom a substantial prize is awarded.
The Flight of the Angel
In the modern Carnival it was decided to re-present to the public, in a guise similar to the original one of the ancient Carnival, the anniversary of the Flight of the Angel, in its variant of Volo della Colombina. While in the past this show was celebrated on Shrove Thursday, in modern editions it is generally held at noon on the first Sunday of celebration, as one of the opening events that officially decree the beginning of the Carnival itself. Until the 2000 edition, above a cheering crowd, with its gaze turned to the Campanile of San Marco, a mechanical bird with the shape of a dove carried out, as in the past, its descent on the rope towards the Doge's Palace. Approximately halfway through, a trap door was opened in its lower part,
Since the 2001 edition, the first of the millennium, the old formula of the Flight of the Angel has been passed again, replacing the Colombina with a real artist and ending the descent in Piazza San Marco. The 2001 flight was entrusted to the Compagnia dei Folli, which lent its own artist for the event. For each edition, the Angel of the Carnival, secured to a metal cable, makes his only descent from the belfry of the bell tower, slowly sliding towards the ground, suspended in the void, above the multitude that fills the space below.
Carnival of Venice can also be found in online streaming, including direct TV and social and web channels, registering an unprecedented success. The live broadcasts were made on the weekends of 12 and 13 and 19 and 20 February and every day of the "fat" week, from 24 February to 1 March.
On the Facebook page of the Carnival and on the Youtube channel of Venezia Unica, 10 connections for a total of 15 hours of direct social media thanks to the 12 Carnival Speakers, students and recent graduates of the Ca 'Foscari University of Venice, scattered in the Wonder Points in Venice and Mestre who unveiled the rich program of the Carnival and some backstage moments.


A UQ student whose favourite method of procrastination is getting out of the house and enjoying what Brisbane has to offer.
It's rare to find a restaurant where you'll be welcomed as if you were a member of the family these days – usually you'll be lucky to get a smile. Which is why Fortitude Valley's new Italian restaurant is a breath of fresh air, because here the service is as important as the scrumptious food on your plate.
Step into Casa Nostra and you'll be welcomed like an old friend, with owners Sarah and Biagio more than likely there to greet you – Sarah at front of house and Biagio in the kitchen working his magic. The husband and wife duo have been in the restaurant business for decades, and have a fan club of diners who follow them from restaurant to restaurant, both for the delicious fare and the warm welcome they know they'll receive at the door.
Of course, the authentic Italian cuisine coming out of Biagio's kitchen is worth a visit on its own. With a few traditional recipes handed down through generations and everything made in house using local, seasonal ingredients, this is Italian fare like you've never tried before.
Start off with antipasti plates like the calamari fritti and black lip mussels in a white wine sauce, but don't go too overboard – you want to save plenty of room for the mains. Their spaghetti carbonara, a Casa Nostra specialty, is the lightest and tastiest this writer has ever tried – and trust me when I say I've tried a few.
For a comforting winter warmer, the braised lamb shank on a bed of creamy potato with gremolata sauce will have you feeling toasty from head to toe, while other dishes like the slow roasted pork belly will have you fighting over every last mouthful with your date.
It wouldn't be Italian without pizza, and there's plenty of those to sample too, but it's the desserts that will really top off the meal, with classic sweets like tiramisu, vanilla custard cannoli and decadent Italian chocolate cake to cure any sugar cravings.
Did I mention the three page wine list? Along with a few cocktails for anyone planning on a long night, the drinks menu offers a range of international and Australian wines.
If you're planning to take full advantage of the drinks list, you may want to catch public transport, but there is free parking available in the carpark underneath if you validate your pass at the restaurant. Casa Nostra is located in the M&A Laneway at 100 McLachlan Street, Fortitude Valley – and their house is your house.

Q: How to find stale Infinispan / Jboss Cache objects? Subject is the question.
Scenario : Even though there is a logout link, some Users don't properly logout. And they immediately take a new tab and login again. This time a new Cache object is created and the old one is not getting destroyed.

A: First, you can set a default lifespan or maxIdle to make all entities time out so they don't stay stale for long.
However, to answer your question... You can use the infinispan-query module:
     <dependency>
        <groupId>org.infinispan</groupId>
        <artifactId>infinispan-query</artifactId>
        <version>5.2.1.Final</version>
     </dependency>

This uses hibernate search along with apache lucene to query your infinispan cache.
To use this you need to annotate the fields you will search for with @org.hibernate.search.annotations.Field and the class with @org.hibernate.search.annotations.Indexed.
Your infinispan cache will also need to be indexed <indexing enabled="true" indexLocalOnly="false" /> (local or distributed -- see the indexLocalOnly property).
And then you can query your cache with something like the following:
import org.apache.lucene.search.Query;
import org.hibernate.search.query.dsl.QueryBuilder;
import org.infinispan.Cache;
import org.infinispan.query.CacheQuery;
import org.infinispan.query.Search;
import org.infinispan.query.SearchManager;

[...]

public List<YourEntity> searchEntities( String fieldValue ) {
  SearchManager searchManager = Search.getSearchManager( cache );
  QueryBuilder queryBuilder = searchManager.buildQueryBuilderForClass( YourEntity.class ).get();
  // this chain will change depending on what you are querying
  Query luceneQuery = queryBuilder.keyword().onField( "fieldName" ).matching( fieldValue ).createQuery();
  // use either searchManager.getClusteredQuery with local index, or a searchManager.getQuery with clustered index
  CacheQuery cacheQuery = searchManager.getQuery( luceneQuery, YourEntity.class );
  //noinspection unchecked
  return (List)cacheQuery.list();
}

According to multiple industry sources, shortstop Deven Marrero -- the Red Sox' top first-round pick (No. 24 overall) in the 2012 draft -- will be promoted from High-A Salem to Double-A Portland on Tuesday. The 22-year-old went 1-for-4 with his second homer of the year for Salem on Sunday. He'€™s moved beyond an 0-for-15 rut to start this month by going 7-for-18 (.389) with six walks and three strikeouts in his last five contests, improving his season-long marks to .256/.341/.334. Given his experience as an elite college performer at Arizona State, the fact that he has posted a line score that fails to distinguish itself from the league-average offensive line (.254/.333/.381) represents something of a surprise. Though his offensive numbers appear modest, however, Marrero'€™s standing as one of the better position prospects in the Sox system is predicated more on his all-around game than on an offense-first profile. The 2012 first-rounder has 21 steals in 23 attempts and he'€™s looked excellent at short, committing just four errors in 85 games. There's plenty of room for offensive growth (though it is worth noting that Marrero has posted solid walk rates and strike zone management, taking a free pass in 11.2 percent of plate appearances with whiffs in 16.0 percent of plate appearances), but the overall maturity of his game would appear to lend itself to challenging Marrero at a higher level. News of the promotion was first reported by Will Woodward of SoxProspects.com.


You know it's a TIE fighter, rather than a TEI fighter, right?
TIE, Twin Ion Engine....... not "TEI"..... (Twin Engine Ion)??? The idea sounds cool, I can see you are basicly accurate, but I though SD's had 90 TIE fighters, then plus other craft liek the bombers and shuttles?
Just going to throw this out there: There is no way possible to make a realistic mod. Empire is just way to strong for any other faction. I mean the only reason the rebellion ended up winning was because they had heroes and raw luck. I mean the chance of a fighter crashing into a Ssd command bridge is about 1 in 10 trillion.
Branching off of that, fighters, might as well just take them out of the game. They'll be specks if you put them to realistic size.
Not here to bash but your mod won't be "star war-istic"
I think hes got a good thing going on, I'd like to see more, and prehapes a realistic clone wars mod with the new units form the clone wars?

Pave Johannes 3. (død 13. juli 574) var pavef ra 17. juli 561 til sin død i 574. Han blev født i Rom i en fornem familie. Liber Pontificalis nævner ham som søn af en Anastasius. Hans fader havde titlen illustris, og har sandsynligvis været vir illustris ("illustrationsmand", et højrangerende af Det romerske Senat). Ifølge historikeren Evagrius var hans fødenavn Catelinus, men han tog navnet Johannes efter at han tiltrådte paveembedet.

Power to the people: Call for Brits to share electric vehicle chargers at their homes
POWER TO THE PEOPLE: CALL FOR BRITS TO SHARE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGERS AT THEIR HOMES IN A BID TO BUILD COMMUNITY CHARGING NETWORK AND BRIDGE GOVERNMENT GAP
Electric charging network needs to grow five times faster in order to meet demand before 2030 petrol and diesel car ban
JustPark appeals to communities to share their chargers to help increase public charging network
With the government announcing its commitment to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030, an estimated additional four hundred thousand electric charging points will need to be rolled out in order to meet demand and help people make the switch to electric.
However, with just 39,000 public charging points currently in the UK, the government needs to grow its charging network five times faster than the current forecast if it hopes to meet this target. In a bid to help grow the nation's charging network, facilitate convenient overnight charging for those without access to off-street parking, and to accelerate green mobility, JustPark, the UK's most popular parking app, is calling on people and businesses to offer their private charging points to the public.
JustPark, which now allows Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers to be listed for others to reserve and pay for in advance, has been adding around 120 new EV hosts signing up to its platform weekly, making JustPark the 7th largest public charging network in the UK.
Whilst the government has recently pledged £20 million to local authorities to help the supply of on-street charge points, this will only add a further 4,000 to the network, which equates to around 35 chargers per local authority over the next four years, with 126 councils having no plans to fit any at all. This is not nearly enough to meet demand over the next few years and comes at a substantial cost of over £6,000 per charge point installation.
This is why community charging is a crucial step needed to help further grow the network and bridge the government gap. JustPark's appeal for community charging could also help the government out with a solution which would incur far less costs and be less disruptive to local areas, allowing for a hassle free implementation of a strong UK charging infrastructure.By helping to grow the private charging network and making it publicly available, it will enable the government to meet its 2030 target and ultimately help the UK achieve Net Zero by 2050.
With at least 43% of car owners not having a private driveway or access to private charging, this is a major obstacle to the rollout of EVs. Therefore, private inventory is essential in helping to increase the charging network and enable more people to make the switch to electric, especially for those in lower income households and urban dwellers without easy access to a driveway.
Anthony Eskinazi, Founder and CEO of JustPark, said: "Despite great progress and significant backing from the treasury, the UK is not on track to have the required infrastructure in place to support the mass adoption of electric vehicles, especially for drivers without access to off-street parking. Ultimately, we all have the same objectives, and so we are calling on the public to do their bit to help facilitate green mobility.
"With community spirit higher than ever since the start of the pandemic, we are asking people to play a part in driving a more environmentally friendly society, regardless of whether they have gone electric themselves yet.
"People with a charge point already installed can do their bit for their area by sharing it with others on JustPark. This type of community support would help to further increase the adoption of EVs in the next few years."
Edmund King OBE, AA president, added: "There are varying estimates on the extent of the public charging network required to make the EV revolution work, but we definitely know that those without off-street parking need more help. Hence the AA is fully behind JustPark's campaign to increase the number of publicly available charging points in the UK.
"We need to work together, exploring all options, to create a charging infrastructure that is fit to service the increased numbers of EVs that will be on the road.
"JustPark's appeal for communities to get involved to help supplement the existing charging network would be an important step in helping us reach these targets."

The perpetrator of Elder Abuse may be a family member, neighbor, caretaker, or financial adviser. California law provides that in cases of Elder Abuse the victim may recover attorney's fees and treble damages in the case of intentional fraudulent or malicious conduct.

Tuesday night we had the great opportunity to speak to our local Kiwanis about what we're attempting to do on our micro, 1/10 of an acre and how we'd like to grow in the next year. Members patiently listened as we excitedly rambled and showed photos of our productive little hillside.
We took a few days and went with family up to Michigan to take a minute to breather and regroup. It was definitely needed and we came back to lots of blooms and produce.
Chris has been frantically trying to can and freeze the left over green beans from the farm stand. If I remember right, he said he's already canned 6 gallons of beans. I've also discovered that I HATE harvesting green beans and the next time we have to do it I'm going to pretend there's a flower emergency and slip away. We've also had to run our irrigation system a lot this week. Which feels weird, since we haven't run it all summer due to all. the. rain. We came home to our cafe au lait, dinner plate dahlias popping open. To quote Chris, "anyone who has seen these dahlias has pooped a gourd." (yes, you read that right) Not the most eloquent way to describe it, but these flowers truly are unreal. If I could have a bed made of them or just grow dahlias for the rest of my life, I'd be ok. We also had the amazing opportunity to sell flowers to employees at Illinois Farm Bureau today. We completely sold out in the first two hours and couldn't be happier with the feedback and affirmation that we're doing something right. I had a few people ask if the dahlia display piece was for sale and couldn't bring myself to sell it. It seems odd, but even though I'm surrounded by these beautiful flowers, I don't get to keep them. And let me tell you, I couldn't let those dahlias go quite yet!
