Daniel Rendon, alias 'El Aleman,' former leader of the 'Elmer Cardenas' Bloc of the AUC
Deputy Prosecutor stands between Colombia war criminals and their freedom
by Nicolas Bedoya August 22, 2014
The Prosecutor General's Office has received 47 requests for conditional freedom by demobilized paramilitaries under the Justice and Peace Law.
Of the roughly 160 paramilitaries that can be released after serving the minimum eight year sentence under the AUC demobilization Law 975, known as the Justice and Peace Law, 47 have requested to be transferred to house arrest.
The Coordinator for the National Unit of Transitional Justice, Hector Eduardo Moreno, told Colombia Reports Friday that he has only approved five of 47 requests for conditional freedom so far. The rest of the imprisoned paramilitaries have not complied with the necessary requirements for release after serving the minimum of eight years in prison.
Moreno stated that the paramilitaries would not obtain liberty "automatically," or en masse, and that every individual case will undergo a process of verification.
The beginning of the release of paramilitaries who demobilized under former president Alvaro Uribe's Justice and Peace law has generated terror in the hearts of their victims, and NGOs dedicated to human rights.

According to Moreno, the men will participate in a reintegration program providing psychological and social support. The government will also provide a $200 to $300 dollar monthly stipend to support the paramilitaries economically.
The 161 paramilitaries that are eligible for conditional freedom must have satisfied the following requirements:
served the mandatory eight year sentence, which 60 prisoners completed on August 15 of 2014.
participated in, and continue to participate in re-socialization programs and be approved by Colombia's prison police (INPEC) for good behavior.
contributed to the truth during the Justice and Peace legal proceedings.
forfeited property and riches for the reparation of victims.
not committed any crimes while in prison.
Not Enough: NGOs
NGOs invited relevant government agencies to a discussion over the release of the paramilitaries in July, inviting the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of the Interior, Defense Ministry, UNP, and international watch dogs.
Moreno, who did not appear at the meeting or send any representative, told Colombia Reports that requirements such as telling the truth and giving up wealth for the reparation of victims are, "in reality, objective and subjective to evaluation. You can't say that people who have confessed 5,000 or 1,000 crimes have not clarified the truth."
Moreno said that all protection measures were being managed by the National Protection Unit. However, two NGOs that work with victims told Colombia Reports that there is little coordination between these agencies, and that no preventive measures are being taken.
Moreno told Colombia Reports that "once a threat is reported, measures are taken," but NGOs like Corporacion Humanas say that the Colombian state is only able to function reactively, and that UNP methods are ineffective.
When asked what is being done to prepare communities for the return of convicted paramilitary leaders to their former operating grounds, Moreno claimed that that the Prosecutor General's office has "made the situation known" to the communities. NGOs that work on the ground alleged that the communities have not been consulted or advised regarding the return of paramilitaries.
Of the 47 requests, 11 are high profile AUC commanders that have been prioritized by Moreno. Moreno has focused on these commanders as a way to "target the paramilitary structures themselves that have had a large impact in the local area of operations."
Paramilitaries prioritized by the Transitional Justice Unit of the Prosecutor General's Office
Arnubio Triana Mahecha, alias "Botalon" – Commander of AUC Puerto Boyaca Block who operated in Boyaca and Santander. Accused of massacring 14 farmers in Santander state and murdering two detectives investigating his financing scheme. "Batalon" was trained by Israeli mercenary Yair Klein. The prosecutor general has confirmed 45 cases of child recruitment under "Batalon".
Edgar Ignacio Fierro, alias "Don Antonio" – Commander of the AUC Juan Pablo Diaz Front that operated on Colombia's Caribbean coast. Use to work with Colombia's military but was kicked out in. "Don Antonio" is said to be responsible for the assassination of two union members, a human rights defender, a government official, and a university professor.
Ramon Isaza, alias "El Viejo" – Commander of AUC Magdalena Medio Block that operated in southern Antioquia, Caldas, Boyaca, Cundinamarca, and northern Tolima. Alleged mastermind of the massacre of 11 civilians, and the disappearing of 16 civilians. Isaza and his unit have confessed to around 382 crimes resulting in 1,139 deaths.
Edwar Cobos Tellez, alias "Diego Vecino" – Commander of AUC Montes de Maria Block who operated in the northern states of Sucre and Bolivar. The AUC block has 6,689 registered victims ranging from crimes of torture, homicide, displacement, and disappearances. Attributed the massacres of Macayepo, Chengue, Chinulito, Pigiguay, and El Salado, the displacement of 70,000 civilians in Sucre, and the death of around 90 members of the Patriotic Union party.
Fredy Rendón Herrera, alias "El Aleman" – Commander of AUC Elmer Cardenas Block that operated in Uraba in the northern states of Choco and Antioquia. His unit has registered 4,301 victims. Among crimes Herrera is complicit in, is the 15 civilians in November 1994 and the kidnapping of activists of peace communities.
Jorge Ivan Laverde, "El Iguano" – Commander of AUC Catacumbo Block that operated in the state of Northern Santander. The block has 8,183 registered victims from over 3,000 confessed crimes. Confessed to throwing 15 dead bodies into a river and realizing 27 massacres in Cucuta. His paramilitary unit is also responsible for the assassination of a gubernatorial candidate, an ombudsman, and former mayor of Cucuta.
Uber Banquez, alias "Juancho Dique" – Commander of AUC Canal del Dique Front of the Montes de Maria Block that operated in Sucre and Bolivar. Confessed to 5,377 crimes involving 5,669 victims. Among those, the Massacre of Chengue where 27 farmers were bludgeoned to death.
Rodrigo Perez Alzate, alias "Julián Bolivar" – Commander of AUC Central Bolivar Block that operated in the southern states of Nariñom Putumayo, Caqueta, Santander, Caldas and Risaralda. The paramilitary unit has 20,868 registered victims.
Jesus Ignacio Roldan, alias "Monoleche" – Close confidant of the Castaño brothers, supreme commanders of the AUC paramilitaries.
Ivan Roberto Duque, alias "Ernesto Baez" – Commander of AUC Cacique Pipinta Front of the Central Bolivar Block.
Manuel de Jesus Piraban, alias "Jorge Pirata" – Commander of AUC Heroes de los Llanos Front of the Centaurios Block. Unit has 6,000 registered victims. Allegedly assassinated 17 members of the Patriotic Union political party. Confessed to 250 homicides, 40 cases of child recruitment, 40 cases of forced displacement, and one case of sexual abuse committed by a subordinate.
Paramilitaries that have been granted conditional freedom:
Jesus Noraldo Basto alias "Parabolico" – AUC communications chief
Victor Asis Quintero alias "Cocoliso" – AUC Heroes Block
Jhon Jairo Alvarez alias "El Mono" – AUC Bananero Block
Ramiro de Jesús Rojas alias "Pocalucha" or "Ramon" – AUC Northeast Antioquia Block
José de Jesús Pérez alias "Sancocho" – AUC Calima Block
MORE: Ex-head of paramilitary telecommunications released from Colombia prison
Moreno stated that the National Unit of Transitional Justice will review the testimonies given, make sure no crimes were committed during the eight years in prison, and confirm that the former paramilitaries completed the requirements under the Justice and Peace Law.
What happens if the paramilitaries continue to commit crimes following their release? Moreno told Colombia Reports that this "is a very possible situation, because Colombia is a country at war. In the case that a released ex-combatant commits a crime, the conditional freedom will be revoked and they could be excluded from the benefits given to them under the Justice and Peace Law (Law 975)."
Colombia's civil society and human right defenders await anxiously to see how the release of these paramilitaries will affect the dynamic of the armed conflict and victims themselves.

Somewhere somehow I was given the title of adult. 😬 I am sure that person's license was revoked immediately following my endorsement. I'm responsible for not only for myself, but two whole other people, and although they have grown and learned a few skills, I am still 100% legally responsible for them. Taylor Swift's "Feeling 22" is my secret theme song. 🎤 My multiple gray hairs and my 90's musical references can testify that I am far from 22.
I am about to confront you with some very difficult and complicated advice. It won't be easy to swallow and you may not have heard it before. Breathe in and then out. Are you ready? Here it is: Don't be lazy. Ugh, there it is. That's my #small shift.
This is not about doing more or denying one self-care. Doing more than you are physically or emotionally able to do is unwise. I'm talking about attending to a current situation promptly. It is easy for me to dramatically fall onto the couch, in a woe-is-me, arm up to my forehead with a loud sigh kind of way. 🙎Oh, I've been parenting all day (actually I had a little time for myself while my kids were at preschool; I chose to go to bed late last night, etc). When I have time to myself, I tend to turn on the TV and sit there a lot longer than needed. I become completely engrossed in COPS (side note: it's quite therapeutic to watch grown adults not listen to other grown adults; I'm sure you can relate). Unfortunately, that precious golden hour of naptime has quickly evaporated and I feel neither productive nor refreshed. As I took a step back, it was easy to imagine my spouse would appreciate productivity over procrastination any day. He works at home so he does see what I do all day.
My husband was actually my inspiration for this little change. Fortunately for us all, it was not delivered as, "Man, I have such a lazy wife!" That delivery would never have accomplished its purpose. A week or so ago I was just looking around the house thinking of how he would feel if I got things accomplished more often than leaving them undone. 💪 Not an earth-shattering revelation; I'm just that dense.
I doubt that my COPS marathon will lead me into a hostage situation. I suspect a pattern of laziness toward my marital and parental duties will lead to a deficit in my relationships.
Use a timer. I like the old fashioned kind that you wind by hand. Turn it to ten minutes and get to work. See what you can do. As a former teacher, I would tell my students to do the hardest thing first so that it's out of the way. Small shifts are our focus. Don't clean the entire kitchen; empty the garbage can.
Evaluate what is truly refreshing to your soul. Check out our blog for more wholesome content for moms just like you. Search for a topic that will help you with your current struggles: marriage, parenting, or mental health. Do the refreshing things during your free time instead of something less fulfilling.
Speaking of mental health, examine your eating and exercise habits. There's no need to start P90X and a vegan diet tomorrow; just remember that our mental and emotional states are affected by the way we treat our bodies. If I'm feeling really lazy, I'll look at my diet; this should provide some helpful insight. Sit up and eat a carrot; you may feel better.
Small Shifts: Let's Do This Together!

MRM History
The steering committee of Maitland Regional Museum was formed as the result of a public meeting held in Maitland Town Hall in July 2013. In excess of 100 people attended and donations were made to initiate a Maitland Regional Museum Committee. The main objective of this committee is to provide a framework which would allow for the development of a regional museum in Maitland.
The foundation committee members elected in October 2013 were: Janece McDonald (President), Bob Roberts (Vice-President & Treasurer) and Ruth Trappel (Secretary). The group became incorporated as Maitland Regional Museum Inc. (MRM), increased membership and proceeded to develop policy and planning documents.
The steering committee wrote and presented a submission to Maitland City Council in June 2014. The submission argued the case for a purpose-built museum for Maitland.
MRM has regularly hosted a number of exhibitions and other activities (see past exhibitions & events), kept researching and lobbying for a suitable site/building for a museum, and worked towards finding temporary premises.
MRM has obtained both Charity and DGR (NSW) status and has been successful in numerous grant applications.
In 2017, MRM entered into a relationship with the National Trust and a collaborative partnership with the Museum of Clothing and the Friends of Grossmann House to lease Brough House and to use the premises as an exhibition and administrative base for the MRM, Friends of Grossmann and the Museum of Clothing.
MRM moved into Brough House in January 2017. Monthly meetings are held on the premises; there is a permanent exhibition space used by MRM; and the main rooms are shared for temporary exhibitions by the three collaborating organisations.
The key objective of MRM is to realise a regional museum for Maitland. MRM intends to demonstrate the need for, and benefits of a Maitland Museum through curating exhibitions, establishing and caring for a collection of significant items, collaborating with like-minded organisations and groups, and initiating a range of other relevant activities

Living with Epilepsy / Epilepsy and ... / Professional Health Care Providers / About Epilepsy & Seizures / Classifying Seizures / Generalized Seizures / Absence
The revised International Classification of Epileptic Seizures categorizes absence seizures as generalized seizures, indicating bihemispheric initial involvement both clinically and electroencephalographically. Many children with absence seizures (formerly known as "petit mal") can be further categorized as having a characteristic epileptic syndrome.
Types of absence seizures
The terms typical and atypical absence seizures were used by the International Classification of Epileptic Seizures to describe and categorize the various absence types.
Typical absence seizures
The simple typical absence consists of the sudden onset of impaired consciousness, usually associated with a blank facial appearance without other motor or behavioral phenomena. This subtype is actually relatively rare. It comprised only 9% of 374 absence seizures video-recorded from 48 patients by Penry and associates.
The complex typical absence is accompanied by other motor, behavioral, or autonomic phenomena:
Motor phenomena:
Clonic components may be quite subtle. They most frequently consist of eye blinking. Clonic activity may range from nystagmus to rapid jerking of the arms. Changes in tone often include a tonic postural contraction leading to flexion or hypertonic extension. Although a decrease in tone rarely causes a fall, it may lead to nodding of the head or the dropping of objects.
Behavioral phenomena:
Automatisms are the commonest clinical accompaniment, occurring in 44% of 476 typical absence seizures studied by simultaneous video-EEG radiotelemetry in 27 patients.4 Automatisms are semipurposeful behaviors of which the patient is unaware. The patient cannot recall them afterwards. There are two types:
Perseverative, reflecting continuation of preictal activities.Complex activities such as dealing cards, playing patty-cake, or handling a toy are generally perseverative. Speech, if it occurs, also is usually perseverative. It is often slowed and dysarthric but may be totally normal and include both expressive and receptive aspects.
Simple behaviors, such as rubbing the face or hands, licking the lips, chewing, grimacing, scratching, or fumbling with clothes, tend to be de novo automatisms.
Autonomic phenomena:
Autonomic phenomena associated with absence seizures may include:
pupil dilatation
piloerection
urinary incontinence (not common)
Neither the autonomic changes nor automatisms allow one to distinguish absence from other seizure types.
Atypical absence seizures have traditionally been characterized as having:
less abrupt onset or cessation than typical absence seizures
more pronounced changes in tone
longer duration
age of onset before 5 years
association with other generalized seizure types and mental retardation
Comparison of typical and atypical absence seizures
Holmes et al5 compared 426 typical and 500 atypical absence seizures in 54 children. The atypical absence seizure lasted significantly longer, on average, than the typical absence seizure. The most common initial clinical manifestation in either type was a change in facial expression or appearance of a blank stare. A pause or slowing of motor activity was also frequently noted as the initial finding in both types. The atypical absences were significantly more likely to have diminished postural tone or tonic or myoclonic activity as the initial clinical feature.
A blank stare or change in facial expression was the sole clinical finding in only 16% of typical and 28% of atypical absences. Automatisms, eye blinking, and lip smacking occurred more commonly in typical absences. These automatisms were usually perseverative, often consisting of playing with a toy or game. De novo automatisms were associated with longer spells and most commonly consisted of rubbing the face or hands or smiling.
A change in postural tone (either an increase or a decrease) was more commonly seen in atypical absences.
Both typical and atypical absences shared many characteristics:
starting abruptly without an aura
lasting from a few seconds to half a minute
ending abruptly
frequent eye blinking, lip smacking, decrease in tone, and automatisms
Although statistically significant differences can be identified, there is considerable overlap between the two seizure types. They most likely represent a clinical continuum. This overlap also pertains to the electroencephalogram (EEG) and proposed pathophysiology.
The EEG signature of a typical absence seizure is the sudden onset of 3-Hz generalized symmetrical spike-and-wave or multiple spike-and-slow wave complexes. (See EEG.) The voltage of the discharges is often maximal in the frontocentral regions. The frequency tends to be faster (about 4 Hz) at the onset and slower (down to 2 Hz) toward the end of discharges if they persist longer than 10 seconds. The spike-and-wave discharge may be precipitated by hyperventilation or photic stimulation.
Ictal EEG of typical absence seizure of childhood absence epilepsy:
Note the regular rhythm of the discharge, the constant spike and slow wave relation, and the abrupt onset. The opening phase is often variable and unreliable. The child remains unresponsive from the onset of the initial phase to the onset of the terminal phase of the discharge. However, she is able to understand the technologist during the terminal phase, when the ictal discharge is waning.
The discharges are more numerous during all sleep states except rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. During sleep the bursts are briefer and irregular, slowing to 1.5 to 2.5 Hz.The interictal EEG background is often normal in typical absence seizures. Using the preceding ictal EEG criteria to classify absence seizures, Holmes et al. found that only 44% of 27 patients with typical absences had normal EEG backgrounds, however. Diffuse slowing was seen in 22% and paroxysmal spikes or sharp waves in 37%.
Hyperventilation, photic stimulation, and hypoglycemia will activate typical absence seizures. Hyperventilation is the most effective procedure.
Clinical effects generally can be seen when discharges last longer than 3 seconds. Detailed neuropsychologic investigations have demonstrated functional impairment from a spike-and-wave burst of any duration.6 Auditory reaction times were delayed 56% of the time when a stimulus was presented at the onset of the EEG paroxysm and were abnormal 80% of the time when the stimulus was delayed 0.5 second. Responsiveness may improve as the paroxysm continues.
In atypical absence seizures the ictal EEG is more heterogeneous, showing 1.5- to 2.5-Hz slow spike-and-wave or multiple spike-and-wave discharges, which may be irregular or asymmetric (See EEG.).
Slow spike-and-wave activity in a patient with atypical absence seizures.
The interictal EEG background is generally abnormal. In the study of Holmes et al,4 only 11% of 27 patients with atypical absences had a normal interictal EEG. Diffuse slowing and focal or multifocal spikes or sharp waves were seen in 85%.

C&C worked for the University direct on this Project spanning 3 months which was led and managed by Bidwells Project Consultancy and Dan Thomas, their Project Manager.
Access was a major issue with this project worth approximately £400k. Due to Brasenose College being a listed building, all of the equipment had to be brought into site through a small single doorway into the building. The 6m long one piece cooking suite top had to be brought in sections and then fully welded and polished on site. The large Meiko dishwasher also had to be brought in sections and fully assembled on site, particular care and coordination had to be carried out with regards to access in general.
The consultant Kevin Barnes of The Peter Burholt Partnership is also happy with our performance and we have had regular contact with them regarding progress reports and site visits to gain a smooth handover. The client had specific needs with regards to staff training fitting around their current operation so we carried out five separate training sessions to suit their timescales.
The pipework installation on this project was quite unusual, we had to supply stainless steel water and waste pipework throughout which had to be sourced and supplied from Denmark to match the mechanical contractors requirements.
Due to the listed building restraints, there was a lot of coordination required with regards to the angled walls and low ceilings which could not be altered in any way. Some fabrication had to be templated on site to ensure a good fit and all had to be installed on site due to the access problems.

SHERMAN v. MERTZ ENTERPRISES
Robert SHERMAN, doing business as Howard's Trailer Sales, et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v. MERTZ ENTERPRISES, a California corporation, doing business as San Rafael Mobile Home Estates, et al., Defendants and Respondents.
Anton Dumhart, West Minster, for plaintiffs and appellants. Ruffo, Ferrari & McNeil, and Thomas P. O'Donnell, San Jose, for defendant and respondent Mertz Enterprises. Frank Heller and Richard S. Weiner, Los Angeles, for defendants and respondents Moore's Mobile Home Mart, Les Spurlock and Sunrise County Mobile Homes.
Plaintiff Robert Sherman, doing business as Howard's Trailer Sales and Bob's Trailer Sales, along with one Doug Jobson (hereinafter referred to as plaintiffs) sought an injunction and damages for unfair competition and restraint of trade against Mertz Enterprises, doing business as San Rafael Mobile Home Estates, Moore's Mobile Home Mart (hereinafter sometimes referred to as defendants), and other mobile home sales companies.
Plaintiffs filed their complaint in the Los Angeles superior court on February 21, 1973, and the application for order to show cause and preliminary injunction came on for hearing and was denied on March 6, 1973.
On March 22, 1973, defendants filed a demurrer to the complaint with supporting points and authorities, along with a motion to strike or, in the alternative, a motion for summary judgment. After consolidating all the defendants' motions, the court below, on April 6, 1973, granted their motions for summary judgment and sustained the demurrers without leave to amend.
Plaintiffs appeal from the granting of the motions for summary judgment and the demurrers.
Defendant and respondent Mertz Enterprises is the owner and developer of a mobile home park. On or about January 15, 1973, it entered into a written agreement with co-defendants Moore's Mobile Home Mart (Moore's), Sunrise County Mobile Homes (Sunrise) and S. W. Mobile Homes Sales (S. W. Mobile), who are all retail dealers of mobile homes. The purpose of the agreement was to provide a location at which Sunrise, Moore's and S. W. Mobile could conduct their sales activities and provide lot accommodations for their customers.
In accordance with the agreement, Mertz Enterprises then notified plaintiffs and other mobile home dealers that the San Rafael Mobile Home Estates park was leased full as of January 25, 1973.
On or about January 25, 1973, Moore's, by letter, advised other various mobile home dealers that although they had completely rented San Rafael Mobile Home Estates, they would be willing to provide spaces for customers of other mobile home dealers for a set-up fee of approximately $2500 if plaintiffs and others desired to place a mobile home on defendant's park.
The mobile home dealer defendants state that the set-up fee was necessary because they had received more than 40 complaints, out of 195 mobile homes in the park, which had been submitted to the Contractors License Board, and that in the future to insure high service standards, a set-up charge would be made to service and guarantee a coach for one year.
Plaintiffs contend that defendants have conspired to restrain trade and commerce with the malicious and oppressive intent to deprive plaintiffs and prospective mobile home purchasers of the right to free and unrestricted competition for the general mobile home sales business.
Plaintiffs' first legal contention is that the contracts and arrangements entered into between the defendants have been declared unlawful per se. This contention is based on plaintiffs' interpretation of the Cartwright Act (Bus. & Prof.Code, s 16700 et seq., which is patterned on the Sherman Anti-Trust Act).
Plaintiffs' second legal contention is that the motions for summary judgment should have been denied on plaintiffs' general allegations that defendants conspired together for the purpose of restraining competition, even in the absence of a finding that the agreement constituted a 'per se illegal tying arrangement.'
A summarization of the rules governing summary judgment procedure (Code Civ.Proc., s 437c) was set out in the case of Corwin v. Los Angeles Newspaper Service Bureau, Inc., 4 Cal.3d 842, 94 Cal.Rptr. 785, 484 P.2d 953, where the court stated at pages 851—852, 94 Cal.Rptr. at page 790, 484 P.2d at page 958: '. . . 'The matter to be determined by the trial court in considering such a motion is whether the defendant (or plaintiff) has presented any facts which give rise to a triable issue. The court may not pass upon the issue itself. Summary judgment is proper only if the affidavits in support of the moving party would be sufficient to sustain a judgment in his favor and his opponent does not by affidavit show such facts as may be deemed by the judge hearing the motion sufficient to present a triable issue. The aim of the procedure is to discover, through the media of affidavits, whether the parties possess evidence requiring the weighing procedures of a trial. In examining the sufficiency of affidavits filed in connection with the motion, the affidavits of the moving party are strictly construed and those of his opponent liberally construed, and doubts as to the propriety of granting the motion should be resolved in favor of the party opposing the motion. Such summary procedure is drastic and should be used with caution so that it does not become a substitute for the open trial method of determining facts.' (Stationers Corp. v. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. (1965) 62 Cal.2d 412, 417, 42 Cal.Rptr. 449, 452, 398 P.2d 785, 788; see Joslin v. Marin Mun. Water Dist. (1967) 67 Cal.2d 132, 146—148, 60 Cal.Rptr. 377, 429 P.2d 889.)'1 (See also D'Amico v. Board of Medical Examiners, 11 Cal.3d 1, 20, 112 Cal.Rptr. 786, 520 P.2d 10.)
Summary judgment, by its nature, should be sparingly granted in cases alleging antitrust activities by defendant. The plaintiff in such a case finds himself outside a door of information that can be opened only by obtaining the key from the defendants. Unless plaintiff is allowed to probe into the secrecy of defendants, he would forever be foreclosed from finding facts to support his contention. 'Trial by affidavit is no substitute for trial by jury which so long has been the hallmark of 'even handed justice." (Corwin v. Los Angeles Newspaper Service Bureau, Inc., Supra, 4 Cal.3d at 852, 94 Cal.Rptr. at 791, 484 P.2d at 959, citing Poller v. Columbia Broadcasting (1962) 368 U.S. 464, 473, 82 S.Ct. 486, 7 L.Ed.2d 458, 464; as quoted with approval in Fortner Enterprises v. United States Steel (1969) 394 U.S. 495, 500, 89 S.Ct. 1252, 1257, 22 L.Ed.2d 495, 503.)
'. . . On the other hand this rule of caution should not be allowed to sap the summary judgment procedure of its effectiveness in cases wherein the party against whom the procedure is directed seeks to screen the lack of triable factual issues behind adept pleading. 'The question therefore is not whether defendant states a good defense in his answer but whether he can show that the answer is not an attempt 'to use formal pleading as means to delay the recovery of just demands.' (Fidelity & Deposit Co. v. United States, 187 U.S. 315, 320, 23 S.Ct. 120, 47 L.Ed. 194 . . .)' (Coyne v. Krempels (1950) 36 Cal.2d 257, 262, 223 P.2d 244, 247.)' (D'Amico v. Board of Medical Examiners, Supra, 11 Cal.3d at p. 20, 112 Cal.Rptr. at p. 800, 520 P.2d at p. 14.)
Plaintiffs brought their complaint against defendants for restraint of trade under Business and Professions Code sections 16720 to 16726 (the Cartwright Act).2
'Sections 16720 and 16726 of the Cartwright Act were patterned after the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. s 1 et seq.) and decisions under the latter act are applicable to the former. (Chicago Title Ins. Co. v. Great Western Financial Corp. (1968) 69 Cal.2d 305, 315, 70 Cal.Rptr. 849, 444 P.2d 481.) Both acts codify the general common law prohibition against restraints of trade. Section 16727 goes beyond the common law to interdict certain practices which have a tendency to lessen competition or promote monopolization. This section, enacted in 1961 (Stat.1961, ch. 738), is based on section 3 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. s 14.) Hence, federal decisions interpreting section 3 are applicable to section 16727. (69 Cal.2d 305, 315, 70 Cal.Rptr. 849, 444 P.2d 481.)
'Although the Sherman Act and the Cartwright Act by their express terms forbid all restraints on trade, each has been interpreted to permit by implication those restraints found to be reasonable. (Standard Oil Co. v. United States (1911) 221 U.S. 1, 60, 31 S.Ct. 502, 55 L.Ed. 619, 645; People v. Building Maintenance etc. Ass'n (1953) 41 Cal.2d 719, 727, 264 P.2d 31.) 'However, there are certain agreements or practices which because of their pernicious effect on competition and lack of any redeeming virtue are conclusively presumed to be unreasonable and therefore illegal without elaborate inquiry as to the precise harm they have caused or the business excuse for their use. . . . Among the practices which the courts have heretofore deemed to be unlawful in and of themselves are price fixing (citation); division of markets (citation); group boycotts (citation); and tying arrangements (citation).' (Northern Pac. R. Co. v. United States (1958) 356 U.S. 1, 5, 78 S.Ct. 514, 518, 2 L.Ed.2d 545, 549.)'3 (Corwin v. Los Angeles Newspaper Service Bureau, Inc., Supra, 4 Cal.3d at 852—853, 94 Cal.Rptr. at 791, 484 P.2d at 959.)
Plaintiffs' first claim is that the agreement between Moore's, Sunrise, S. W. Mobile and Mertz Enterprises constituted an illegal restraint of trade. To prevail in this contention, 'it must appear from the record not only that the agreements 'create or carry out restrictions in trade' (s 16720, subd. (a)) but also that such restrictions are unreasonable.' (Corwin, supra, 4 Cal.3d at 853, 94 Cal.Rptr. at 792, 484 P.2d at 960.)
Plaintiffs based this contention on two items, a letter sent by Mertz Enterprises to plaintiffs telling then that as of January 22, 1973, the mobile home park would be leased in full,4 and the contract/agreement between Mertz Enterprises and the other defendants for the leasing of part of the mobile home park.5
On January 15, 1973, Mertz Enterprises and the co-defendants entered into an agreement for the rental of mobile home spaces. There is no mention of what the rent is in terms of dollars and cents in the agreement, but simply a statement that Mertz Enterprises will rent specific spaces to the co-defendants for a period of one year; that the co-defendants would be the only parties allowed to sell mobile homes in the mobile home park; and that they would be permitted to maintain a model compound and sales office on the park premises. The rent paid by the co-defendants to Mertz Enterprises would be the percentage each co-defendant has of the entire area covered by the agreement. The rental paid by the co-defendants would be reduced by the amount of rental paid to Mertz Enterprises by the occupants of the respective spaces, but only to an offset for rent actually paid by such occupants.
The clause entitled '3. Occupants and Lot Improvement Charge' could be construed to support plaintiffs' claim that the arrangement between Mertz Enterprises and the co-defendants is more than a normal lessor-lessee relationship. Mertz Enterprises states that all potential occupants procured by the co-defendants must have new double coaches which must be approved by Mertz Enterprises and which must obey all park rules. Furthermore, '(c) oncurrently with any rental arrangement by MERTZ with a potential resident of any of the spaces procured by RETAILERS (co-defendants), MERTZ will charge such resident the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) payable concurrently on or prior to occupancy. . . . The total lot improvement charge shall be paid by MERTZ to RETAILERS (co-defendants) within 10 days after receipt of payment from resident. In the event that a loss results from any claim made against MERTZ as the result of the payment of said lot improvement charge to MERTZ and thereafter to RETAILERS (co-defendants), then each of the RETAILERS (co-defendants) herein agrees to reimburse MERTZ a pro rata share of said loss not to exceed twenty-five precent (25%) of the total monies received by said RETAILERS (co-defendants).'
Clause 4 of the agreement, entitled 'Model Complex and Sales Facility,' provides in relevant part that: 'RETAILERS (co-defendants) may install signs and other advertising and promotion as it may deem advisable after having first obtained the written consent of MERTZ. MERTZ agrees that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. RETAILERS (co-defendants) shall have the right to use the name of SAN RAFAEL MOBILE HOME ESTATES in its advertising and promotion, but such advertising and promotion shall not in any way indicate any agency, joint venture, partnership or other relationship between RETAILERS (co-defendants) and SAN RAFAEL MOBILE HOME ESTATES. The mobile home park manager of MERTZ and their employees shall cooperate with RETAILERS (co-defendants) in connection with its sales and promotion for the mutual benefit of all parties hereto in renting mobile home spaces as well as promoting the sale of mobile homes by RETAILERS (co-defendants). The cooperation by RETAILERS and MERTZ, as well as their respective employees, shall be reasonable and in their best interests.'
The agreement between Mertz Enterprises and its co-defendants gives an exclusive right of sale to the co-defendants on the leased/rented property; allows for reimbursement of payments; and provides for aid, assistance and cooperation for the sale of co-defendants' mobile homes at the inferred exclusion of other individuals' sale of mobile homes to be placed on this property.
The above agreement between Mertz Enterprises and its co-defendants cannot be considered in a vacuum, but must be considered in light of all the agreements between the defendants and how those agreements would eventually affect the public and competitors.
Plaintiffs allege in their complaint that Moore's, Sunrise and S. W. Mobile conspired together, along with Mertz Enterprises to divert and take away a substantial portion of the business of plaintiffs. Plaintiffs support this contention by relying on a letter sent by Moore's, Sunrise and S. W. Mobile to plaintiffs and other dealers on January 25, 1973. The letter, addressed 'Dear Fellow Dealer,' informed plaintiffs and others that if they wished 'to place a coach in San Rafael, we will deliver, set-up and service—and this service will be guaranteed for one (1) full year—your coach for a total cost of $2500. This will insure high service standards.' An asterisk at the bottom of the letter indicates a note stating: 'Since each dealer above is an individual company and sets its own prices, the $2500 costs is approximate.'
The effect of the agreement and the letter to the ultimate consumer is as follows: If the purchaser buys from Moore's, Sunrise or S. W. Mobile, the purchaser will pay $250.00 to Mertz Enterprises as a set-up charge—which charge will be returned to the co-defendant who sold the coach. If the purchaser buys a coach from plaintiffs, the set-up fee will be $2500.00—a cost that undoubtedly would be passed on to the ultimate consumer who therefore has to pay more to buy from plaintiffs if he wishes his coach put on the Mertz Enterprises lot.
Section 16727 of the Business and Professions Code is concerned with the effects on competition, and the type of arrangement described above could be construed to seriously impair competition between parties not in privity with the arrangements between the defendants.
In examining the agreements between the parties and the statutes involved, the effects on competition, not just the competitors, must be considered. The substantially probable rather than actual effects are all that is required by the Cartwright Act as it has been interpreted by federal cases. (See Standard Motor Products, Inc. v. Federal Trade Commission (2d Cir. 1959) 265 F.2d 674, 676, regarding interpretation of Robinson-Patman Price Discrimination Act, 15 U.S.C.A. s 13a.)
If the agreements between Mertz Enterprises and the other defendants are construed to constitute a restraint upon trade, 'they violate the Cartwright Act unless they are shown to be reasonable. To determine whether the restrictions are reasonable, 'the court must ordinarily consider the facts peculiar to the business to which the restraint is applied; its condition before and after the restraint was imposed; the nature of the restraint and its effect, actual or probable. The history of the restraint, the evil believed to exist, the reason for adopting the particular remedy, the purpose or end sought to be attained, are all relevant facts.' (Chicago Board of Trade v. United States (1918) 246 U.S. 231, 238, 38 S.Ct. 242, 244, 62 L.Ed. 683, 687.) The court should consider 'the percentage of business controlled, the strength of the remaining competition (and) whether the action springs from business requirements or purpose to monopolize. . . .' (United States v. Steel Co. (1948) 334 U.S. 495, 527, 68 S.Ct. 1107, 92 L.Ed. 1533, 1554; quoted with approval in Times-Picayune v. United States (1953) 345 U.S. 594, 615, 73 S.Ct. 872, 97 L.Ed. 1277, 1293.) Whether a restraint of trade is reasonable is a question of fact to be determined at trial. (Times-Picayune v. United States, Supra; Chicago Board of Trade v. United States, Supra; Winn Ave. Warehouse, Inc. v. Winchester Tobacco Ware. Co. (6th Cir. 1964) 339 F.2d 277, 280; Rogers v. Douglas Tobacco Board of Trade, Inc. (5th Cir. 1959) 266 F.2d 636, 643, cert. den. (1959) 36 U.S. 833, 80 S.Ct. 85, 4 L.Ed.2d 75.)' (Corwin, supra, 4 Cal.3d at 854—855, 94 Cal.Rptr. at 793, 484 P.2d at 961.)
Another contention of plaintiffs is that the agreements, considered jointly and severally constitute an illegal tying arrangement.
"For our purposes a tying arrangement may be defined as an agreement by a party to sell one product but only on the condition that the buyer also purchases a different (or tied) product, or at least agrees that he will not purchase that product from any other supplier. Where such conditions are successfully exacted competition on the merits with respect to the tied product is inevitably curbed. Indeed 'tying agreements serve hardly any purpose beyond the suppression of competition.' (Citation.) They deny competitors free access to the market for the tied product, not because the party imposing the tying requirements has a better product or a lower price but because of his power or leverage in another market. At the same time buyers are forced to forego their free choice between competing products. For these reasons 'tying agreements fare harshly under the laws forbidding restraints of trade.' (Citation.)' (Fns. omitted.) (Northern Pac. R. Co. v. United States, Supra, 356 U.S. 1, 5—6, 78 S.Ct. 514, 518, (2 L.Ed.2d 545, 550).) Tying arrangements are illegal per se 'whenever a party has sufficient economic power with respect to the tying product to appreciably restrain free competition in the market for the tied product' (Northern Pac. R. Co. v. United States, Supra, 356 U.S. at p. 6, 78 S.Ct. at p. 518, (2 L.Ed.2d at p. 550); Fortner Enterprises v. U.S. Steel, Supra, 394 U.S. 495, 499, 503, 89 S.Ct. 1252, 1258, 22 L.Ed.2d 495, 502, 505) and when 'a total amount of business, substantial enough in terms of dollar-volume so as not to be merely De minimis, is foreclosed to competitors by the tie. . . .' (Fortner Enterprises v. U.S. Steel, Supra, 394 U.S. at p. 501, 89 S.Ct. at p. 1258, (22 L.Ed.2d at p. 504).)' (Corwin, supra, 4 Cal.3d at 856—857, 94 Cal.Rptr. at 794, 484 P.2d at 962.)
We conclude that triable issues have been raised which, if resolved in plaintiffs' favor, could establish the type of arrangement condemned by the above referred to decisions. We do not hold as a matter of law that the arrangements between defendants amount to an illegal tying agreement, but rather that it is an issue to be resolved at trial.
Accordingly, we hold that plaintiffs are entitled to a trial on their general theory of a conspiracy and combination in restraint of trade and also upon their claim of an illegal tying arrangement. We further hold that plaintiffs may proceed to trial on their complaint without the necessity of amending. (See Jaffe v. Carroll, 35 Cal.App.3d 53, 110 Cal.Rptr. 435.)
Judgment reversed.
1. The summary judgment in this case was entered prior to the effective date of the 1973 Summary Judgment Act—January 1, 1974. The review of the judgment is considered only in light of the pre-1974 summary judgment law. (See D'Amico v. Board of Medical Examiners, 11 Cal.3d 1, 20, fn. 15, 112 Cal.Rptr. 786, 520 P.2d 10.)
2. Section 16720 provides in part: 'A trust is a combination of capital, skill or acts by two or more persons for any of the following purposes: ( ) (a) To create or carry out restrictions in trade or . . . (c) To prevent competition in . . . sale or purchase of merchandise. . . . (d) To fix at any . . . figure, whereby its price to the . . . consumer shall be in any manner controlled or established, . . . (e) To make or enter into or execute or carry out any contracts, obligations or agreements of any kind or description, by which they do all or any or any combination of any of the following: ( ) . . . (4) Agree to pool, combine or directly or indirectly unite any interests that they may have connected with the sale or transportation of any such article or commodity, that its price might in any manner be affected.'Section 16726 of the Business and Professions Code states: 'Except as provided in this chapter, every trust is unlawful, against public policy and void.'Section 16727 of the Business and Professions Code states in part: 'It shall be unlawful for any person to lease or make a sale or contract for the sale of goods, merchandise, . . . commodities for use within the State, or to fix a price charged therefor, or discount from, or rebate upon, such price, on the condition, agreement or understanding that the lessee or purchaser thereof shall not use or deal in the goods, merchandise, . . . supplies, commodities, or services of a competitor or competitors of the lessor or seller, where the effect of such lease, . . . agreement or understanding may be to substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly in any line of trade or commerce in any section of the State.'
3. See also Chicago Title Ins. Co. v. Great Western Financial Corp., 69 Cal.2d 305, 328—336, 70 Cal.Rptr. 849, 444 P.2d 481, dissent by J. Mosk.
4. Plaintiffs' exhibit 4 to their complaint.
5. This agreement was not part of plaintiffs' complaint, but came to light as part of defendants' papers in response to plaintiffs' request for an injunction. The agreement was filed with the court before the summary judgment was filed.
HANSON, Associate Justice.
LILLIE, Acting P.J., and THOMPSON, J., concur.


Yesterday a friend and I drove to another city to pick up my car which had been getting worked on. It was a long drive and we talked about which road would have the least amount of traffic and would be the easiest to drive. It was pouring down rain at times, so we really didn't want to be driving on the interstate.
I told her the way I usually drove the route, and so we took that path to get to our destination. It worked out well and we got there in good time. But on the way home, she suggested that I try a different route since it would help me to avoid a potential roadblock. I took her advice and found my way home, quickly and without incident.
It occurred to me that we go through life often making plans for ourselves. We do our best to try to find the quickest, easiest or most comfortable path for ourselves. We do our best to avoid roadblocks and hassles, and we work hard to find the shortest, quickest route to the successes and blessings we seek.
Many of us don't realize it but we go through life seeking to find our way home each and every day. There is a place we are looking for where we are loved, accepted and forgiven—where we can just truly be ourselves and know that it is enough. We long for and are driven by an inner need to find rest in this place—this place which is our true home.
The thing is that too often we define for ourselves what the route to our true home is. We set particular standards in place and believe that the only way to get home is to follow that one precise set of directions. We have to really work at following these directions perfectly or we won't end up in the right place. We believe that the only way we will get to our true home is to meet these standards exactly. If we fail we will miss out and end up in oblivion. It seems that the onus is upon us to make sure we are heading the right direction and that we arrive safe and sound.
Thankfully Jesus Christ is the path to our true home. He is the only way, and thankfully he is the forerunner of our faith. Wherever he is, there is our true home. So guess what? There is no path he has not already been down. He knows the best route to take in every situation. We can just climb in the car and he will take us where we need to go. And wherever we are going, he's already there in the Spirit, anyway. So we might as well just enjoy the journey!
This is why Jesus calls us to rest in him. All this anxiety about finding the best route home to God is totally unnecessary. We can relax because Jesus has already made sure we'll get there—we just need to trust in him—he will bring us safely home to be with the Father.
It is inevitable that there will be roadblocks in the way of us getting where we need to go. Life isn't simple and the path to our true home with God in Christ isn't always a direct one.
Sometimes we are taken down a difficult path—one that may be filled with boulders or floodwaters. We may find ourselves at an impasse or caught up in slow traffic. We find that Christ often takes a different road home than we expect. It may involve sitting through some rush hour traffic or avoiding some children playing in the street. But it will be the best path for each of us, because he loves us and knows what's best for us. And he is with us in the midst of whatever we come across on our way home.
The really cool thing about Jesus taking us home to be with his Father is that he wants us to invite others to go with us on the journey. He's got room for everybody in the car.
Not everybody is willing to drive along with him. Some are too busy planning out their own route or running down the street to catch a bus. Others want to sit in the back seat and give him directions—they want to tell him where to go and how to get there.
But he's very gracious and tells us to keep asking people to join us. And he says to us each day, "Let's go—Dad's waiting!" And by his Spirit he carries us farther on our way to our true home.
Thank you, Jesus, for being the only and most direct path to our true home with the Father in the Spirit. Grant us the grace to let you tell us which way to go and to follow it. And give us the heart and willingness to share this journey with others by inviting them to join it. We praise you for your freely given grace and love. In your name, amen.

What do you think about the anime you've seen? So much infatuated, right? And I never consider it an animated movie.
I know that anime is not strange to you. It's even so popular that I don't need to explain. But do you know its history and distinctive difference from regular cartoons?
Now I will talk briefly about things that readers should clearly understand about anime movies. Besides, I can't help mentions to the most passionate movie in my heart: One piece.
But first, what is anime?
What is a term of Anime?
To a Japanese viewer, anime is any cartoon, whether Japan produces it or not. In other countries, however, the term anime has meant "animation made in Japan." They assume that any animated movie that uses signature aspects of Japanese-style, like vibrant colors, and characteristic facial expressions are anime.
Anime contains multitudes, with the content for a wide range of viewers, from drama, action, and romance to historical fiction, horror, comedy that match any taste.
Nowadays, anime crossed continents and became popular with worldwide viewers, but do you know how an anime is different from a regular cartoon?
Here are the top 4 typical differences.
Anime in Japan refers to all animated productions, while English dictionaries define the word "Anime" as Japanese style animation.
On the other hand, Cartoon was initially a humor picture with a caption or a dialogue.
Over centuries, it now is a short film, usually a funny one, using characters and images that are drawn rather than real. It contains simple contents and generally for children.
Cartoons are usually intended to induce laughter, and there's always a happy ending. It includes simple contents and generally for children.
Anime doesn't follow any general concepts. It has many genres such as Horror, Romance, and Fantasy. Their stories can be about pirate attacks, humorous adventures or tales of samurai.
Anime movies also create a plot that runs throughout the entire series, showing viewers morals and a certain level of complexity. A cartoon can't do that.
Anime and cartoons both follow traditional processes of storyboarding, voice acting and character design.
Anime often reuse between frames instead of drawing each frame.
This technique fools your eyes that there are a lot of movements.
However, this way lowers production costs because fewer frames need to be drawn.
Anime scenes emphasis on three-dimensional views. Backgrounds always display the scenes' atmosphere. For example, anime often focus on changing seasons .we can see in numerous anime.
Anime illustrations usually exaggerate as far as physical features. It differentiates from a cartoon by the physical traits of the characters.
Colorful hair, big eyes, small nose and lips, and dramatical talks and activities are the standard features of anime characters.
Cartoons, however, are a little more realistic and carry traces of day-to-day life in them. We can see the striking resemblances to humans various cartoons. But its characters are still caricatures.
This series is one of the "longest" anime in the history of current anime by Eiichiro Oda.
The main character of the film is a boy named Monkey D. Luffy, encouraged by the young hero Shanks "Redhead," sailed to the sea on his journey to find the legendary treasure One Piece and become King Pirate.
Doremon is a famous comic of Fujiko F. Fujio. The animated series which has the same name is equally renowned. Each episode is an exciting adventure of magic cat and his friend Nobita, Xuka, Xeko, Chaien.
This is probably an animated film that imprinted in the childhood of many young children.
Along with Doremon, Pokemon is also an animated movie young boys and girls can't help. It is about the adventures of young people on the way to conquer the magical faces. Every trip is exciting and enjoyable.
Naruto is a fabulous animated series of Masashi Kishimoto. The comic series ended in chapter 700 but the animated episodes continued to be produced.
The film is about a fantasy world of Ninjas and breathtaking fights. For those who are fans of this anime, you would know how attractive Naruto and his companions are.
Conan is an animated film based on a comic series of Aoyama Gosho. The hidden murderers and clever ways to break down the secrets behind them are the first things this cartoon series brings to the audience.
With so many mysteries endings of every episode, Conan deserves to be the most popular anime.
But in all of those movies, One Piece is my adorable one. And I also believe it's the universal anime of all time.
One piece was a series created in August 1997. Next year, it came out at the top of the Japanese manga.
Since then, one piece has been a storm on all the charts, from sales, TOC, comic books with the vast numbers of fans (all ages from children to over 60 year-olds).
There is an event of the 6-month exhibition to celebrate 15 years of one piece release. It never happens before in Japanese manga history.
But what makes it the marvelous anime ever?
Only when you read it all the series, you will understand the meaning of the title. It led to the curiosity and controversy among all the fans.
Rarely does any series arouse curiosity about the name of the movie for such readers right from the first chapter.
A pirate is a teenager with a scarred face and a straw hat. It looks like a rice farmer rather than a pirate.
And his capacity is elastic limbs. Sounds silly?
Also, most of One Piece's characters are unique.
Do you find in any manga that all characters have their dreams and aspirations? In one piece, there is no concept that we will save the world, or we will protect everyone.
We just simply fulfill our dreams, become strong Pirate King and Swordsman, or ringing a golden bell and washing off the whole family's lie for 400 years.
Since I decided to become the strongest swordsman, I have left my life behind. The one who has the right to say we are crazy is only ourselves!
Zoro can take all the wounds for Luffy.
But in one piece, you can protect your friends, but they have to accomplish their tasks.
I hope that "Anime" concept is now very apparent to you. Also, If you haven't seen One Piece, I think you've missed the most meaningful movie ever. So I highly recommend it to you.
What about the most memorable collection of awesome anime movies that means to you? Please, share it in the comment section below.


I have lived in my hometown for five years now. And any where else I've been, and lived, and watched the sunset, the sunset in my hometown are the best ones I've ever seen.
There is just something so surreal and so calming during sunset. I think, "do I really get to witness this?," even though I know the sun sets everywhere, and it is not only for my eyes.
But, I need to tell you… that when I think that, is because five years ago, I did not want to live.
It was a tough time but I was back home. It's where I wanted to be. So why was I so depressed?
It's gotten better over the years. I got help, and I make art to cope. I don't know why it still comes back… you know those thoughts? The ones where you hate yourself, and you have no idea why you deserve this kind of happiness when things are going good? Yeah, those thoughts linger in the back. A dull pain, always there.
But in the moments when I watch the sunset, they are gone. I am alive to witness this most beautiful natural thing. The sun that gives us life. I am here to witness it set.
It's almost like a ceremony, to watch it set. A ceremony I try to witness everytime.
Although most days here are overcast and gray, I like to look back at my pictures and remember them. And sometimes, I just close my eyes and see the sunset, in all its colour and glory.
It was the best decision I made as a teen five years ago, to come back home. I could not stand the city. Could not stand so many people in one place. It drove me crazy and made me even more depressed.
When I came back home though, my depression was still there of course. It didn't magically disappear or set with the sun but it was easier to deal with.
How could I deserve to witness such beauty? It's not like I think only certain people should witness it. But, my low self esteem, and my depression made me think that.
I get to witness the sun, and the sun gets to witness me.
