Avoiding Insurance Coverage Based On Misrepresentation Or Fraud In The Application

Courts always struggle when they are asked to deny insurance coverage. The reason for the struggle is simple. Carriers argue that they should not have to insure a loss where the insured provided misleading facts in the application. However, the insureds point out that insurance carriers have accepted their premiums and the insureds have operated under the impression that the coverage sought had been provided.
Misrepresentations or fraud in the application can be the basis for avoiding coverage. However, Nevada statutes and case law require that the carrier prove that knowledge of the misstated facts would have effected the underwriting decision. In addition, the carrier must be careful to avoid waiving its rights to claim the defense of misstatements or fraud.
I. CASE LAW
The Nevada Supreme Court's decisions reflect an attempt to strike a balance between the interests of the carrier and the interests of the insured.
The earliest Nevada Supreme Court case dealing with this issue is Smith v. North American Accident Insurance, 46 Nev. 30, 205 P. 801 (1922) which deals with an accident policy. Shortly after entering into the contract, the insured died following an accidental injury that necessitated the amputation of his legs. The carrier sought to avoid the contract stating that the insured failed to disclose in response to questions in the application a number of serious health problems, including tuberculosis. The jury verdict was to enforce the contract. The Nevada Supreme Court overturned the jury verdict stating that it was the province of the judge, not the jury, to determine whether the questions in the application were material to an analysis of whether the coverage would be enforced.
In Poe v. La Metropolitana Compania Nacional De Seguros, 76 Nev. 306, 353 P.2d 454 (1960), the claimant sought recovery for a fire loss of a truck. The jury found against Poe. The distinguishing factor was that the titled owner, Poe, did not appear to be the actual operator and possessor of the truck. In fact, the operator was Poe's father-in-law, Manke, who had been previously convicted of arson and whose insurance had been cancelled for that reason. The evidence seemed to portray Poe as a business shill for his father-in-law. The Nevada Supreme Court refused to overturn the jury verdict in favor of the carrier.
Two cases were decided by the Nevada Supreme Court in 1965. The first was Universal Underwriters Insurance Company v. Snyder, 81 Nev. 315, 402 P.2d 483 (1965). In that case, the court refused to view the insurance application as part of the insurance contract and allowed the coverage to stand even though there were allegedly misstatements and errors made in the application itself.
The second case is Violin v. Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, 81 Nev. 456, 406 P.2d 287 (1965). In that case, there were misstatements made in the insurance application regarding coverage on a violin. Again, the court enforced the contract and ordered coverage. The court said that Fireman's Fund Insurance Company knew of other insurance coverage denials and cancellations but issued the policy anyway. The court said that Fireman's Fund knew or should have known of the denials because the company itself refused this particular insured coverage on at least one prior occasion. II.
II. THE STATUTE
In 1971, the Nevada Legislature jumped into the fray and drafted a statute that deals particularly with the issue of fraud or misstatements in the application. That statute is found at N.R.S. §687B.110 and it provides as follows:
§ 687B.110. Representations in applications.
All statements and descriptions in any application for an insurance policy or annuity contract, by or in behalf of the insured or annuitant, shall be deemed to be representations and not warranties. Misrepresentations, omissions, concealment of facts and incorrect statements shall not prevent a recovery under the policy or contract unless either:
1. Fraudulent; or
2. Material either to the acceptance of the risk, or to the hazard assumed by the insurer; or
3. The insurer in good faith would either not have issued the policy or contract, or would not have issued it at the same premium rate, or would not have issued a policy or contract in as large an amount, or would not have provided coverage with respect to the hazard resulting in the loss, if the true facts had been made known to the insurer as required either by the application for the policy or contract or otherwise.
III. CASES INTERPRETING THE STATUTE
There have been two cases that interpret the statute. First is the case of Schiender v. Continental Assurance Company, 110 Nev. 1270, 85 P.2d 572 (1994). In that case there was information incorrectly stated in the application. The insurance company sought summary judgment relative to the issue of coverage. The court determined that the defense of waiver, which was raised in the Violin case, cited above, was still a viable defense in spite of the passage of the statute. The court said that because the defense of waiver had been pled, the court would not affirm the summary judgment granted by the District Court. Instead, the Supreme Court reversed and sent the case back to the lower court for trial on the fact issue of waiver. Therefore, waiver is still a viable defense.
The second case interpreting the statute is Randono v. Cuna Metropolitan Insurance Group, 106 Nev. 371, 793 P.2d 1324 (1990). The court examined subsection 3 of the statute. The court explained:
The introductory language of NRS 687B.110 offers hope to consumers that insurance contracts will not be made voidable by inaccuracies and omissions in their applications, but the exceptions, especially the one contained in NRS 687B.110(3), largely consume the rule. The exceptions would appear to deny, in most situations, the protection and relief that the statute may have been attempting to grant. Given the facts in the record and the language of NRS 687B.110, it can be said as a matter of law that Mr. Randono's failure to disclose his history of hypertension on his insurance application is sufficient to prevent recovery of the insurance proceeds.
Although reluctantly, the court determined that the insurance applicant's failure to disclose high blood pressure was sufficient to avoid payment of a $50,000 benefit under a term life insurance policy.
IV. ANALYSIS
If a question of misrepresentation or fraud in the application arises, the insurance company should quickly turn to its underwriters to determine whether, if the misrepresented facts had been known, the company would have denied the policy or would have issued the policy for a smaller amount. If underwriters say that the policy would not have been issued or would have been limited, the insurance company could in good faith deny coverage for that particular loss. In taking such a position, the court may require the carrier to reimburse the premium. Therefore, an economic analysis may need to be made.
On the other hand, the insured will look for facts to establish that the carrier waived the defense. In particular, the insured will try to learn if the carrier investigated before issuing the policy.
Every case is going be fact specific. The carrier will put itself in best stead if it adopts a policy that does at least a minimum amount of investigation in determining whether the facts stated in the policy application are correct. The carrier could then argue that any further investigation would have been cost prohibitive. But even a minimum of an investigation of the application would be better than none, where a carrier wants to successfully avoid a claim of waiver.
Hopefully this information will help in evaluating questions of fraud or misstatements in applications as to whether coverage should be allowed in a particular case.

Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting
Florida school shooting: Police warned repeatedly about confessed shooter's violence, threats, guns
Maria Perez and Brett Murphy
USA TODAY NETWORK - FLORIDA
PARKLAND – Broward County deputies received at least 18 calls warning them about Nikolas Cruz from 2008 to 2017, including concerns that he "planned to shoot up the school" and other threats and acts of violence before he was accused of killing 17 people at a high school.
The warnings, made by concerned people close to Cruz, came in phone calls to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, records show. At least five callers mentioned concern over his access to weapons, according to the documents. None of those warnings led to direct intervention.
In February 2016, neighbors told police that they were worried he "planned to shoot up the school" after seeing alarming pictures on Instagram showing Cruz brandishing guns.
About two months later, an unidentified caller told police that Cruz had been collecting guns and knives. The caller was "concerned (Cruz) will kill himself one day and believes he could be a school shooter in the making," according to call details released by the Sheriff's Office.
More: Family who took in Cruz told police earlier he threatened others with a gun
More: Nikolas Cruz charged with 17 murders in school attack legally bought AR-15
A second cousin asked police to take away Cruz's guns after his mom died on Nov. 1. "Nikolas is reported to have rifles and it is requested that (deputies) recover these weapons," the dispatcher noted from the call.
More: Friend says suspect had 'no one to cope with' after dad's death
The new details add to the growing list of red flags missed by law enforcement officials, including the FBI, in the months leading up to last week's mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The FBI is reviewing why a tip last month called into the agency about Cruz's desire to kill people was not forwarded to Miami agents for investigation.
More: Numerous missed opportunities before Florida shooter killed 17
More: Gov. Rick Scott says FBI director must resign over Parkland
The Sheriff's Office has since opened two internal affairs investigations looking into whether its deputies followed the department's standards after receiving two phone calls.
After the February 2016 call, a deputy forwarded the information to the Stoneman Douglas School Resource Officer, Deputy Scot Peterson.
"Third hand information received from neighbor's son that Nikolas Cruz planned to shoot up the school on Instagram (Picture of juvenile with guns)," according to the notes from a dispatcher taking the call.
The deputy had "determined Nikolas Cruz possessed knives and a BB gun" before passing it along to Peterson. It's not clear what, if anything, Peterson did with the information.
Peterson, 54, retired this week after an internal investigation was launched into why he sat outside the school for about four minutes and never entered as the shooter killed students and staff.
More: Sheriff: School officer never went inside to confront gunman
More: Again the question: Could armed teachers stop shootings?
Two deputies, Edward Eason and Guntis Treijis, have been placed on restricted administrative assignment, pending an investigation into how they handled calls, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said.
After the November call from a relative to the sheriff's office, deputies referred the caller to the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office. Cruz, 19, had moved in with a family in Lake Worth after his mother died.
But deputies there never investigated a potential threat at the new address, according to incident reports obtained by USA TODAY NETWORK - FLORIDA.
In late November, Palm Beach County deputies responded to a battery call after Cruz punched Rock Deschamps, the 22-year-old son of Roxcanne Deschamps, who took him in after his mother died. Rock Deschamps told deputies he didn't want to press charges.
In 2008, Broward deputies received their first call involving Cruz, 10 at the time, after a boy threw a rock at him and Cruz retaliated, the records show.
The violent incidents became more frequent in Cruz's adolescence.
In 2012, his mother called police after Cruz hit her with a "plastic hose from the vacuum cleaner," according to a summary of the call.
The summary noted the "matter resolved. No report initiated."
The next year Cruz's mother called again after he threw her against the wall because she took away his Xbox game system.
A counselor at Henderson Behavioral Health responded and advised that involuntary commitment wasn't warranted. Cruz "punched the wall because she took away his Xbox" another time, according to a summary of a call to deputies.
More:Judge orders social service records for Nikolas Cruz released
More: Public defender: Broward school shooting suspect a 'broken human being'
"Deputy responded. No crime identified by deputy," the dispatcher noted.
Friends and relatives said Cruz — diagnosed with depression, ADHD, OCD and autism —- had a long history of violent outbursts.
"He'd lose his temper, hit walls, throw things," said Paul Gold, a former boyfriend of Roxcanne Deschamps who had known Cruz for eight years and drove him to his mother's funeral. "Not the kind of kid who you'd put a gun in his hand."
Deputies also were told Cruz could be a danger to himself. On Sept. 28, 2016, deputies and social workers were called to Stoneman Douglas High School after receiving reports that Cruz had attempted suicide by drinking gasoline a week earlier and was cutting himself.
The Florida Department of Children and Families launched an investigation into the reported self-cutting and allegations of neglect that same day, according to a DCF report on the incident.
Authorities chose not to commit Cruz at the time under the Baker Act, a law in Florida that allows authorities to hospitalize people for mental evaluation. The decision came under the advisement of clinicians at Henderson Behavioral Health, which school counselors worried may have been "premature" in their advice, according to the DCF notes.

Only HumanKendall Jenner's Golden Globes Acne Doesn't Bother Her, So Enough Already
Updated: Jan 9, 2018 1:48 pm
By Emily Brozyna
Kendall Jenner may be put on a pedestal – given her famous family and supermodel status, of course. But guess what? She's a living, breathing human…just like us. She has feelings, flaws – and yes, she also gets acne.
The night of the 2018 Golden Globes was a very positive environment this year for a very empowering reason. All the stars wore black as a sign of solidarity, to promote the Time's Up movement – which strives to put an end to sexual harassment and gender inequality. The topics of conversation on the red carpet were meaningful, important, and truly exemplified the core meaning of #GirlPower. So that fact people focusing on Kendall's flaws was very much the opposite of the positivity everyone was trying to promote that night. But rather than let it get her down, Kendall took it all with a grain of salt.
One particular fan tweeting in support of the star, and Kendall's sweet response was both encouraging and positive. Watch the video below to see the photos Kendall got slammed over and how Kendall took it all with such class.
Kendall has previously opened up on her app (which she's no longer updating in 2018, FYI) about how acne affected her self-confidence in the past. But now, she's super secure in who she is. Nothing can stop her from living her life, not even a few pimples.
"Where it really impacted me was how self-conscious I became about it. It completely ruined my self-esteem. I wouldn't even look at people when I talked to them," she wrote. "I felt like such an outcast; when I spoke, it was with my hand covering my face. Sure, I had crushes in high school, but I wouldn't even think about looking at guys."
So there you have it. Not even one of the most famous supermodels in the world can be perfect – and that right there is beautiful.

"Shady Deal at Sunny Acres", starring James Garner and Jack Kelly, remains one of the most famous and widely discussed episodes of the Western comedy television series Maverick. Written by series creator Roy Huggins (teleplay) and Douglas Heyes (story) and directed by Leslie H. Martinson, this 1958 second season episode depicts gambler Bret Maverick (James Garner) being swindled by a crooked banker (John Dehner) after depositing the proceeds from a late-night poker game.  He then surreptitiously recruits his brother Bart Maverick (Jack Kelly) and a host of other acquaintances to mount an elaborate sting operation to recover the money.

As Huggins noted during a lengthy discussion of the episode in his Archive of American Television interview, the first half of the 1973 movie The Sting seems based on Huggins' script.  While Bart and all of the series' recurring characters join forces to energetically flim-flam the banker ("....if you can't trust your banker, who can you trust?"), Bret sits whittling in a rocking chair across the street from the bank every day, responding to the amused and patronizing queries of the local townspeople curious about how he plans to recover his money, "I'm working on it."

"Shady Deal at Sunny Acres" was generally the first episode that Garner mentioned in interviews.

The episode is also the only one featuring brief appearances by all five of the series' early semi-regular recurring characters: Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. as Dandy Jim Buckley, Diane Brewster as Samantha Crawford, Leo Gordon as Big Mike McComb, Richard Long as Gentleman Jack Darby, and Arlene Howell as Cindy Lou Brown.  It proved to be the final series appearance for both Samantha and Dandy Jim because they were each working full-time on new series, Zimbalist in 77 Sunset Strip and Brewster as the schoolteacher in Leave It to Beaver.  Additionally, for Gentleman Jack and Cindy, it was their only appearance in an episode in which Bret also appeared, although they shared not a single scene with Bret—all their dealings on Maverick were with Bart.

Eric Anderson, professor doing searches on homophobia in sport would like that the staff and the students of the university of Winchester who are LGBT join on a list online, list which would be a tool to meet, to organize events or to have some help.
"It's something that has been happening on American student newspapers for some time but if it goes ahead Winchester will become the first university in Britain to try it out online."
Actually, in United-States, several universities, like the university of Oregon, have an Outliste described as a "list of students, faculty, staff, and alumni who wish to publicly acknowledge and celebrate that they are LGBTQ and/or allies of the LGBTQ community."
Professor Anderson added that "for young people growing up with social networking there's nothing unusual in telling people you're interested in men, women or both".
"Sexuality isn't private anymore. Young people are growing up with the visibility of homosexuality and it's encouraged a new level of acceptance among youth."

Construction of the electric fence along the boundaries of the Akagera National Park in Rwanda is according to the latest reports proceeding ahead of schedule, as a recent inspection revealed. The work is carried out through the Rwanda Demobilisation and Reintegration Commission, which offers employment opportunities to army veterans and erstwhile rebels who laid down their arms and sought amnesty.
Fencing the park became a priority for the joint venture between the Rwanda Development Board – Tourism and Conservation and their partners African Parks, when an increase in wildlife raiding the farms near the park were reported and injuries and deaths caused by marauding buffalo and other game. Akagera is Rwanda's only 'savannah' national park and popular with tourist visitors keen to see plains game after tracking gorillas or hiking in the Nyungwe Forest National Park.
The project, worth over 2.7 million US Dollars, is due to be completed by February next year but with work well ahead of schedule area residents can look forward to see themselves and their crops better protected much earlier than initially thought.

This Woman's Face Did Not Take Kindly to Her Hair Salon's Color Treatment
At least she can have a sense of humor about it.
By Korin Miller
You've heard about (and likely ignored) the patch test for at-home hair dyeing kits. And if you're anything like us, you've also probably never gotten one when you've had your hair dyed at a salon, either.
That can be a huge issue, as one woman recently found out. Imgur user thechosenginger recently posted several crazy-looking photos of her friend's severe allergic reaction to hair dye. It's, well, just see for yourself.
Here's what she looks like normally:
And here she is the day after dyeing her strands:
This is what she looks like at the end of the day:
And the next morning:
This is her later that day:
And here she is three days after, starting to recover:
Finally, four days later, she's back to normal:
According to thechosenginger, the reaction happened after her friend went to a salon on Wednesday to have her hair dyed. By Thursday, her scalp felt itchy, and by Friday, she looked like a Teletubby—so she hightailed it to the ER. It took four days for the swelling to go down. Even freakier, the salon had used that hair dye on her in the past.
The pics are legit, according to thechosenginger (because…Internet).
The photos are shocking, but reactions to hair dye happen more than you'd think, says dermatologist Jill Waibel, M.D., owner of the Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute. "Allergic reactions to hair dye are extremely common," she says—they're just not normally this severe. "Reaction to hair dye usually tends to be mild, and patients will see rashes or redness on the scalp or neck, and in some cases, swelling and itching."
Allergic dye reactions are typically caused by a chemical substance called paraphenylenediamine (PPD), which is widely used in permanent hair dye, as well as in textile and fur dyes, oils, greases, and rubber.
But severe reactions happen (and you just looked at one). "Someone with a severe allergy to PPD may see the effects reach the upper eyelids and ears, sometimes causing eyelids to shut completely," says Waibel, who adds that the only real way to know if you have a PPD allergy is to visit a board-certified dermatologist who can do a skin patch test.
PPD is included in more than two-thirds of hair dyes, says dermatologist David E. Bank, M.D., director of the Center for Dermatology in Mount Kisco, New York, and it's mostly found in darker colors, like black and brown.
But how could this girl have used the dye before without having an issue? It's possible the dye was left on longer than it had been previous times, increasing the odds that she would have had a reaction, says Bank. Or she could have used a darker color that had more PPD.
Worried that this might happen to you? Waibel points out that the easiest way to avoid an allergic reaction from hair dye is to avoid dyeing your hair. But if you still want to get a new color, she recommends looking for more natural dyes that are PPD-free (although they won't be as permanent since PPD is what makes the color last).
Meanwhile, thechosenginger says her friend has sworn off dyeing her hair for good. We can't say we blame her.

We are excited to present the following white paper, "The Dynamics of Successful Family Wealth Transfers," written by Dan Berick, co-head of our global Family Office cross-practice team. Over the past several years we have had the privilege of working globally with our clients and their other advisers to accomplish their families' objectives. Along the way, we have gained an understanding of what it takes for families to create the optimal relationship between ownership of family wealth and its effective, coordinated management.
This white paper outlines considerations for success in developing effective family governance, common pitfalls from the field and potential functions of the family office – beyond serving as an investment manager – that can foster intergenerational cohesion and empower and position successive generations to continue to build family assets.
We hope you find this white paper informative and thought provoking as you begin or continue to seek ways of building cohesion, across generations, to help drive the successful stewardship of family assets now and into the future.

This thesis designs and implements an ontology which encodes the argumentative structure of natural language debates. This Debating Ontology will constitute the database for a prospective Argumentative Dialogue System, whose artificial agent conducts spoken language debates against human opponents on a specific subject, drawing from the argument structure encoded in the ontology. We use methods of argumentation mining to break down a written sample debate into its argument components and relations employing annotation techniques. To this end, we devise an argument annotation scheme as well as detailed annotation guidelines. In addition, we extract a set of keywords from the debate's argument components which will be utilized for the Natural Language Understanding of arguments via similarity matching. We also provide guidelines for said keyword extraction. We design and implement the Debating Ontology, test it and evaluate the quality of the argument annotation and extracted keywords. Both evaluations yield promising results.

‹ July 20: Our Sufficiency is of God • July 22: Richard Cameron ›
July 21: Rev. John Livingstone [1603-1672]
21 July, 2014 in July 2014 by davidtmyers | No comments
One biographical entry lists under John Livingstone's name that of "revivalist preacher." And there is no doubt, as John Howie put it in The Scots Worthies, that there has been none whose labors in the Gospel have been more remarkably blessed with the outpouring of the Spirit in conversion work than John Livingstone, at least, since the Reformation commenced in Scotland. Who was this man of God?
Born on this day, July 21, 1603 at Monyabroch/Monieburgh in Scotland to a home filled with piety and prayer, his father William was a minister. Later on, young John became a student of Robert Blair at Glasgow University (see post for July 10). The subject of our post today became the assistant minister in Torphichen between Glasgow and Edinburgh, but in 1621 was "silenced" for his Presbyterian views. Moving to north Ireland, or Ulster, he became known as a young man and minister at what has become known as the Kirk O'Shotts Revival. The circumstances of his presence are remarkable for the Spirit's leading.
John Livinstone had been a domestic chaplain to the Countess of Wigton, Sarah Maxwell. Upon hearing of plans for a Communion observance at Kirk O'Shotts, he went to attend this sacrament. With a huge crowd of both ministers and members in attendance, as W.M. Hetherington put it in his "History of the Church of Scotland, the Communion Sabbath "had been marked with much solemnity of manner and great apparent depth and sincerity of devotional feeling." (p. 136) When the Monday came, the large crowd had been reluctant to depart without another religious service of thanksgiving to God for His redeeming love. So they begged for another worship service, but the pastor of the church was ill and couldn't comply with their wishes. So young twenty-seven year old John Livingstone was prevailed upon to take his place.
The latter was so overwhelmed with his insufficiency of spiritual gifts however, that he ran away into the country side. Some accounts state that someone went after him to encourage him to return. Others state that he was taken by a "strong constraining impulse" to return. Which ever it was, he did return and began to preach to the huge multitude. It then began to rain, but for the next hour, the young minister preached the Word in a driving rain storm, outside! Listen to William Hetherington describe it. He said the crowd "was affected with a deep unusual awe, melting their hearts and subduing their minds, stripping off inveterate prejudices, awakening the indifferent, producing conviction in the hardened, bowing down the stubborn, and imparting to many an enlightened Christian, a large increase of grace and spirituality." (p. 136)
This author cannot help but remark, "Oh for such an awakening and revival in our United States now" as took place on that day back in Ulster! It was said that some 500 people could date either their conversion or a confirmation of their case from that date and place. Livingstone went on to continue to preach the Word of grace in Ulster, with another experience of the Spirit's falling two or three years after this occasion, when a thousand were brought to Christ.
We will return to his life and times as he was one of four ministers who endeavored to sail to America on the "Eagle Wing" vessel, but had to turn back due to storms. Livingstone, now married, ministered in both Scotland and Ulster, and with increasing persecution of Presbyterians in the lands, moved at last to Holland, where he died on August 9, 1672.
Words to Live By: There is perhaps no greater pastoral advice and counsel—Rev. Livingstone wrote the following words to one of his former churches:
"In all things, and above all things, let the Word of God be your only rule, Christ Jesus your only hope, His Spirit your own guide, and His glory your only end." This could well be written on the inside leaf of your Bible as a reminder, reader, but far better for it to be written upon your heart and life as your belief and behavior."

In my dream, I was probably ten years old and was walking home. I was only about 100 meters away, and about to enter the street where my house was.
A large military plane was flying overhead in circles. An unseen but nearby radio was broadcasting of engine failure. Something horrible was happening. Ahead of me, a fire suddenly broke out and quickly spread to block the nearer end of our street. I won't be able to enter.
I ran to the next street, hoping to run along it towards the other end of our street and go around to reach our house. But when I reached the next street, the fire has already spread there.
I ran to the next street. And the next one, and the next. But the spreading fire beat me every time.
At that point, I woke up, distraught. I remembered the horrible atom bombing sequence in Barefoot Gen.

How It Would Work
What Medical Research Says
Around the Country
What is Medical Marijuana 2020?
In order to make medical marijuana available to patients who are suffering from pain and other chronic conditions, Mississippi voters must approve an amendment to the state constitution. This amendment will be on the 2020 general election ballot and, if approved, will create a safe and legal process for patients to obtain medical marijuana from licensed and regulated treatment centers.
The ability of those persons to obtain medical marijuana is built around an examination by a Mississippi physician, a diagnosis of a debilitating medical condition, and a certification by the physician that medical marijuana may be used. Medical marijuana is then obtained from a licensed and regulated treatment center that is both limited by amount and by time period. Additionally, the initiative creates the position of caregivers who can assist disabled or home-bound patients.
The Mississippi Department of Health is charged with regulating and enforcing the provisions of the initiative. A total of 33 states, including Arkansas, Louisiana, and Florida, allow for the use of medical marijuana. All states require a physician examination and certification before a person can obtain medical marijuana, and all states allow for a caregiver who can assist disabled or home-bound patients. Every state regulates the businesses that grow, produce, transport, and dispense medical marijuana, and every state imposes some limit on the purchase, possession, or distribution of medical marijuana.
Click here for more information about how the process would work in Mississippi.
The proposed initiative will be on the general election ballot in November 2020 following the collection of more than 86,000 signatures. Click below for information on how you can sign the petition to make medical marijuana available to qualifying patients who have debilitating medical conditions.

Paid for by Mississippians for Compassionate Care
Medical Marijuana 2020 is a campaign to make medical marijuana available to Mississippians who have debilitating medical conditions. To do that we are gathering signatures on petitions to qualify a constitutional amendment for the 2020 general election ballot. That amendment, if approved by Mississippi voters, would allow physicians to certify the use of medical marijuana for patients who have debilitating medical conditions and then allow those patients to obtain medical marijuana in a legal and safe manner from licensed treatment centers that are regulated by the Mississippi Department of Health. The campaign is backed by a steering committee of medical and health care professionals, law enforcement representatives, leaders in the faith community, and veterans.

There were other experiences too that fall that contributed to this transformation, quotidian but no less significant. There was the smell of burning leaves on the crisp autumn air one day in particular. There was the taste of raspberries from my backyard and the last tomatoes from my garden when I came from work. There was the sound of wild geese flying south, "announcing my place in the family of things," as Mary Oliver says.
All of this culminated in my attempt to explain this shift to my wife. "If you want to go live in a tree, just let me know," she said. I didn't know how to respond at the time. Later, as I reflected on it, I thought, "We are already living in a tree." I think that insight might sum up the shift in perspective I was experiencing.
A person might take that statement metaphorically, as a reference to our interconnectedness with nature. But it occurred to me that it was quite literally true. We are already living in a tree. Not in the way Julia "Butterfly" Hill lived in a tree, but in another, no less literal sense, I think. Our house is made of wood … and thus, of trees. The floors we stand on are made from trees. The walls are framed by wood from trees. The roof built of wooden beams and planks from trees. In a very real sense, I am living inside of trees.
That statement may seem pedestrian, pedantic even. But to me it seemed profound, because it really isn't obvious to me, not in the course of my day-to-day life at least. I live in the illusion of separateness from nature … an illusion created by artifice. I am surrounded by "artificial" objects and structures that don't seem to be a part of "nature" — even though they are. Wood from trees, metal from the earth, even the ubiquitous plastics ultimately originate from organic sources. All of this is nature … even me. Even my body. Even my thoughts and feelings are grounded in the electrochemical reactions of my brain, heart and gut.
But that is not my ordinary way of perceiving reality. My everyday experience of the world is still that of a "ghost in a machine," interacting with a collection of objects "outside" of me. I am coming to understand that this illusion of separateness is crafted and maintained — not by a cabal of Illuminati in smoke-filled rooms, but by all of us collectively — and by me individually, in an effort to avoid in ineluctable fact that I am going to die someday. I hide from myself my immersion in nature so successfully that I can forget that I am already living in a structure made of trees. Just as I eat prepackaged food and forget that something died to sustain me. I do this so can bury a little deeper the knowledge that I myself will die and become someone else's food — and perhaps millions of years from now be a part of someone else's house.
But I have seen the other side, the other world that is this world. The trick is to keep this knowledge — this feeling — in the forefront of my mind, to resist the inertia of existence which forces it into the background. I struggle to resist the draw of distractions which place invisible barriers between me and that experience of participation. And then when I do manage to hold on that awareness, I still have to answer the really hard question … how to live with this knowledge? What does this mean for my day to day life? — that's what my wife wanted to know when she asked me if I wanted to go live in a tree.

Then we get four of the Budd Boetticher/Burt Kennedy Ranown cycle, some of the finest Westerns ever made. What's missing from the unofficial series are Batjac's Seven Men From Now (1956) and Warner's Westbound (1959) which aren't available on Blu-Ray.
The Tall T (1957)

This set is essential. Some of these are available on Blu-Ray elsewhere, some are not. Order yours now.
DVD News #316: The Randolph Scott Collection.
Posted in 1951, Arthur Kennedy, Columbia, DVD/Blu-Ray News, Edgar Buchanan, Forrest Tucker, George Marshall, George Waggner, Gordon Douglas, Harry Joe Brown, Joe Sawyer, John Ireland, John Sturges, Noah Beery Jr., Pre-1950, Randolph Scott, Ray Enright, Wallace Ford, Walter Brennan on November 30, 2020| 6 Comments »
While I was off in the mountains over Thanksgiving, with no Internet, John, Graham and an assorted cast of characters kept the lights on with a steady stream of comments. Y'all are sure something for me to be thankful for!
Anyway, one of the new released that was name-dropped was The Randolph Scott Collection from Via Vision out of Australia. It's a pretty eclectic set, leaning towards the Harry Joe Brown pictures.
The Texans (1938)
Directed by James P. Hogan
Starring Randolph Scott, Joan Bennett, Walter Brennan
A post Civil War picture from Paramount.
When The Daltons Rode (1940)
Directed by George Marshall
Starring Randolph Scott, Kay Francis, Brian Donlevy, Broderick Crawford, Andy Devine, George Bancroft, Edgar Buchanan
About 80 minutes of nonstop action as the Daltons blast their way from one robbery to the next, with Scott a lawyer friend who tries to help out.
Corvette K-225 (1943)
Directed by Richard Rosson
Starring Randolph Scott, James Brown, Ella Raines, Barry Fitzgerald, Robert Mitchum
Howard Hawks produced this World War II picture, with Scott going after the U-boat that sank his ship and machine-gunned his crew.
Gunfighters (1947)

A cool Cinecolor picture produced by Harry Joe Brown.
Coroner Creek (1948)
Directed by Ray Enright
Starring Randolph Scott, Marguerite Chapman, George Macready, Edgar Buchanan, Wallace Ford , Forrest Tucker, Joe Sawyer
Ray Enright directs that spectacular cast in Cinecolor. It doesn't get much better than that.
The Doolins Of Oklahoma (1949)
Starring Randolph Scott, George Macready, Louise Allbritton, John Ireland , Charles Kemper, Noah Beery Jr.
This is just a terrific movie that gets everything right.
The Walking Hills (1949)
Starring Randolph Scott, Ella Raines, Edgar Buchanan, Arthur Kennedy, John Ireland, Josh White
A group of men head to together in search of a lost wagon train loaded down with gold. Sturges' does a great job, and the Alabama Hills and Death Valley locations are put to good use.
Most of these pictures can be found elsewhere — some even on Blu-Ray, so there's likely some duplication with something you already have. But there's plenty of good stuff to recommend it. Sure wish there was a Blu-Ray version available, too (especially of Doolins).
Screening: Shane (1953).
Posted in 1953, Alan Ladd, Ben Johnson, Edgar Buchanan, Elisha Cook, Jr., Festivals, screenings, George Stevens, Jack Palance, John Dierkes, Paramount on November 17, 2020| 25 Comments »
Directed by George Stevens
Starring Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, Brandon deWilde, Jack Palance, Ben Johnson, Edgar Buchanan, Emile Meyer, Elisha Cook Jr., Douglas Spencer, John Dierkes, Ellen Corby
The Graham Cinema in Graham, NC, is running George Stevens' Shane (1953) tonight through Thursday at 7PM.
Tuesday, November 17 thru Thursday, November 19 at 7:00 pm
Graham Cinema
119 N Main Street, Graham, NC 27253
It's a great old theater, a real favorite of mine. Of course, Shane is terrific, too. And Loyal Griggs Oscar-winning cinematography really needs to be seen on the big screen.
A Few Things.

There's a lot going on these days, which is probably a huge understatement. At the same time, within the confines of each of our homes, there's not much going on at all. I hope everyone is safe, healthy and watching a lot of movies. Thought I'd bring up a few things.
Apache Drums (1951) is coming to Blu-Ray from Sidonis out of France. This is very good news. It's a terrific picture.
RIP, James Drury.
Over the last few weeks, I've been asked for quite a few movie recommendations, and it's been a blast to suggest Westerns and crime/noir movies to my homebound friends. It makes me feel good to know that yet another person has come to appreciate Man In The Saddle (1951) or Armored Car Robbery (1950).
Saw Day Of Triumph (1954), a low-budget, heartfelt, but talky story of Christ. It had a great cast — Lee J. Cobb, James H. Griffith (as Judas!), Joanne Dru (as a lovely Mary Magdalene), Burt Mustin, Robert Cornthwaite, Barbara Billingsley, Mike "Touch" Connors and Ralph Moody. The minimal sets are pretty effective, but Burbank is a long way from the Holy Land, in about every possible way.
Completed the commentary for Kino Lorber's When The Daltons Rode (1940) last week. Due to coronavirus closings and stuff, we recorded it at the engineer's home. We had to take a break when a train came through town — the tracks run behind his house. Ironically, it was the train robbery sequence.
Hang in there, folks!
Blu-Ray News #300: Western Classics I.
Posted in Alan Ladd, Andy Devine, Brian Donlevy, DVD/Blu-Ray News, Edgar Buchanan, Frank Faylen, Joel McCrea, Kino Lorber, Paramount, Pre-1950, Randolph Scott, Universal (International) on March 20, 2020| 9 Comments »
Kino Lorber has announced their first volume of Western Classics for June — When The Daltons Rode (1940), The Virginian (1946) and Whispering Smith (1948).
When The Daltons Rode offers up about 30 minutes of constant riding, shooting and just general mayhem in its last reels, all courtesy of the great Yakima Canutt. Amazing stuff. Whispering Smith was tailor-made for Alan Ladd — his first Western and his first color film. The Virginian puts a couple of my favorites in the same movie — Joel McCrea and William Frawley.
Working on the commentary notes for When The Daltons Rode has been a lot of fun, especially watching all the stunts again and again.
I love the first volume of sets like this, since it comes with the promise of more!
DVD Review: Four Fast Guns (1959).
Posted in 1959, DVD/Blu-Ray Reviews, Edgar Buchanan, Kit Parker, Universal (International), VCI Entetainment on July 11, 2018| 24 Comments »
Produced and Directed by William J. Hole, Jr.
Written by James Edmiston and Dallas Gaultois
Cinematography: John M. Nickolaus, Jr.
Music by Alec Compinsky
Cast: James Craig (Tom Sabin), Martha Vickers (Mary Hoag), Edgar Buchanan (Dipper), Brett Halsey (Johnny Naco), Paul Richards (Hoag), Richard Martin (Quijano), Blu Wright (Farmer Brown), John Swift (Zodie Dawes), Paul Raymond (Bartender)
One of my favorite things about early CinemaScope pictures: those long takes. If the Scope picture is a cheap one, with setups kept to a minimum to save money, then you can count on even more long takes. And that brings us to Four Fast Guns (1959). It's a cheap little B&W Scope Western released by Universal-International.
The premise is terrific. A town tamer is on his way to Purgatory when he comes across Tom Sabin (James Craig). Sabin ends up gunning the guy down, then rides on to Purgatory and takes on the town tamer job. Purgatory's run by Hoag (Paul Richards), who owns the saloon — he's who the townspeople want "tamed." Hoag writes to three notorious gunmen, offering each $1,000 to kill Sabin. (He even asks Sabin to mail the letters!) All three show up, and all three end up locking horns with Sabin. When the last fast gun, Johnny Naco (Brett Halsey), turns out to be Sabin's brother — and Hoag's wife Mary (Martha Vickers) admits she's in love with the town tamer, things get complicated. It all makes for an interesting 72 minutes.
James Craig does a good job in his take on the world-weary gunfighter. This is a common theme in 50s Westerns, of course — ranging from Gregory Peck in The Gunfighter (1950) to Fred MacMurray in Face Of A Fugitive (1959). Not a lot of time goes into the relationship between the Sabin brothers, but it's well done. It's another angle you see quite a bit in these films — Night Passage and Fury At Showdown (both 1957), for instance.
Four Fast Guns was Martha Vickers' last feature. I'll never forget her in The Big Sleep (1946). She'd do a couple episodes of The Rebel, then retire. Her scenes with Craig are well done. Mary's love for Sabin doesn't come out of the blue. It actually makes sense, thanks to the performances and the script from James Edmiston and Dallas Gaultois.
It was a unique idea to put Hoag in a wheelchair, and it's great to see Richard Martin, as one of the fast guns, do a serious take on his Chito character from the Tim Holt pictures. Edgar Buchanan is as dependable as ever as Dipper, who serves as Sabin's makeshift deputy. His character could've easily become a liability, but he keeps things in check most of the time.
John M. Nickolaus, Jr. shot Four Fast Guns. He also shot a few Regalscope pictures, including Showdown At Boot Hill and Desert Hell (both 1958), so he certainly knew his way around B&W Scope. (The House Of The Damned, a cheap haunted house picture that Nickolaus shot for Maury Dexter, is worth seeking out.) The bulk of Nickolaus' career was spent in TV, shooting many episodes of Gunsmoke, Perry Mason, The Outer Limits and more. The blocking of scenes within the wide frame, bringing real life to those long takes, is very effective.
Four Fast Guns is usually listed as a 1960 picture. But it played at the Palms Theatre in Detroit (with 4D Man) in December of 1959. Released by Universal-International, it was often paired with Operation Petticoat (1959).
I love cheap movies like this, where talent and ingenuity make or break the picture. (Today's budget-equals-quality approach to cinema is why I rarely go to the movies anymore.) Four Fast Guns is available on DVD from Kit Parker Films and VCI Entertainment in two ways — first as part of their Darn Good Westerns set, then as a standalone DVD. Either way, it looks terrific and comes highly recommended. (I'd love to see it make its way to Blu-Ray.)
Post-50s Western Blu-Ray News #241: Ride The High Country (1962).
Posted in DVD/Blu-Ray News, Edgar Buchanan, Joel McCrea, Lucien Ballard, MGM, R.G. Springsteen, Randolph Scott, Sam Peckinpah, Warner Archive on March 20, 2017| 8 Comments »
Directed by Sam Peckinpah
Starring Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea, Mariette Hartley, Ron Starr, James Drury, Edgar Buchanan, R.G. Armstrong
Here's one so many of us have been waiting for. Warner Archive has announced an upcoming Blu-Ray release for Sam Peckinpah's Ride The High Country (1962).
Surely one of the finest Westerns ever made. Absolutely essential.
Thanks to Dick Vincent for the great news.
DVD News #228: 7 Western Showdown Collection.
Posted in 1954, Charles Starrett, Columbia, Edgar Buchanan, Gary Cooper, George Marshall, Glenn Ford, Henry Levin, Lee Marvin, Leo Gordon, Mill Creek Entertainment, Raoul Walsh, Ray Nazarro, Rock Hudson, Smiley Burnette, The Durango Kid, William Holden on November 16, 2016| 7 Comments »
Mill Creek Entertainment has announced another set of films — the 7 Western Showdown Collection. Many of us may have these on separate discs, but it's got some excellent 40s and 50s Westerns (along with the 1971 rodeo picture J.W. Coop).
The Black Dakotas (1954)
Directed by Ray Nazarro
Starring Gary Merrill, Wanda Hendrix, John Bromfield, Noah Beery, Jr.
This is the highlight for me, a Ray Nazarro Technicolor picture I've never seen. It was put out a few years ago as part of Sony's MOD program, and I believe it was widescreen.
The set also includes:
Starring William Holden, Glenn Ford
Blazing Across The Pecos (1948)
Starring Charles Starrett, Smiley Burnette, Charles Wilson
They Came To Cordura (1959)
Directed by Robert Rossen
Starring Gary Cooper, Rita Hayworth, Van Heflin, Tab Hunter
The Man From Colorado (1948)
Directed by Henry Levin
Starring William Holden, Glenn Ford, Ellen Drew, Edgar Buchanan
Gun Fury (1953)
Starring Rock Hudson, Donna Reed, Philip Carey, Lee Marvin, Leo Gordon
The old DVD of Gun Fury was full-frame (and 2-D) instead of its intended 1.85. Not sure if Columbia will provide Mill Creek with new material or not, but a widescreen version would be reason alone to pick up this set.
Henry Hathaway At The 54th New York Film Festival.
Posted in 1951, 1954, 1958, Cameron Mitchell, Edgar Buchanan, Festivals, screenings, Gary Cooper, Harry Carey Jr., Henry Hathaway, Jack Elam, James H. Griffith, John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Susan Hayward, Tyrone Power on September 12, 2016| 31 Comments »
The lineup for the 54th New York Film Festival — which runs from September 30 to Octoebr 16 — includes a terrific Henry Hathaway retrospective that doesn't skimp on his Westerns.
Rawhide (1951)
Starring Tyrone Power, Susan Hayward, Hugh Marlowe, Dean Jagger, Edgar Buchanan, Jack Elam, George Tobias, James Millican
Garden Of Evil (1954)
Starring Gary Cooper, Susan Hayward, Richard Widmark, Hugh Marlowe, Cameron Mitchell
From Hell To Texas (1958)
Starring Don Murray, Diane Varsi, Chill Wills, R.G. Armstrong, Jay C. Flippen, Harry Carey, Jr.
North To Alaska (1960)
Starring John Wayne. Stewart Granger, Ernie Kovacks, Fabian, Capucine, Joe Sawyer, James H. Griffith
The Shepherd Of The Hills (1941), Kiss Of Death (1947) and Niagara (1953) are among the other Hathaway pictures being shown. Good stuff.
The restored One-Eyed Jacks (1961) is also part of the festival.
50s Westerns DVD News #207: Randolph Scott Roundup, Volume 2.

Legal limbo for children: The risks of turning 18
Aine Kervick
The impact of Coronavirus is significant and far-reaching for all children and young adults. For a youth justice system creaking under strain with serious delays, the lockdown has only compounded the problems and brings a raft of serious consequences. Timely justice is ever more important.
A report by the Youth Justice Legal Centre has highlighted the prevalence and consequences of lengthy delays in the youth justice process. The report highlighted the most recent official data which shows that 1,400 offences a year are committed by children who turn 18 prior to conviction. However, this is a significant underestimate and the number is expected to rise, not least due to the current crisis and rising backlog within the police, CPS and courts.
Winners announced!
Family Law Webinars
One hour of training for just £75+VAT. Our 2019...
An authoritative and practical guide...
Any delay between an offence taking place and a child or young person being processed by the youth justice system is unacceptable but unfortunately all too common. It can take months and often years for a police investigation to conclude or for the CPS to reach a charging decision. Further delays arise due to court availability. When a child turns 18 prior to appearing in court they lose the protections afforded to children within the youth justice system which include:
Anonymity;
Out of court disposals available to children (under 18);
Specialist Youth Court;
Alternatives to custody offered to children;
Child sentencing guidelines which consider immaturity and likelihood of reoffending.
The Youth Justice Legal Turning 18 report lists a number of much needed recommendations including fast tracking cases involving children, retaining anonymity where an offence was committed when under 18 and ensuring that there is a maximum time limit for children who are Released Under Investigation by the police.
Children's brains and maturity are constantly developing. A child that commits an offence at 13 is an entirely different person when charged at 15. If the youth justice system is to meet its aims of preventing reoffending and operating with a child centred approach the relevance of age at the time of the offence has to be considered. See our previous blogs on this topic here and here.
Research and Case Law
There is a wealth of research around the Age Crime Curve which shows that peak offending occurs during adolescence and young adulthood before it tails off. Recent neuroscience research indicates that brain maturation occurs around 25 years of age and that teenagers and young adults are very susceptible to peer pressure.
Recent case law has begun to consider these developments in what has been described as a "modern approach" to sentencing.
Attorney General's Reference (R v Clarke) [2018] 1 Cr App R (S) 52 (18 does not present a cliff edge);
R v Hobbs [2018] 2 Cr App R(S) 36 Lord Chief Justice (Modern approach to sentencing. Young people who offend in early adulthood but are far from the maturity of adults);
R v Balogun [2018] EWCA Crim 2933 (Factors relevant to sentencing of a young offender do not cease to have relevance when turn 18);
See also Ghafoor [2002] EWCA Crim 1857 (where offence committed as child but over 18 at time of sentence, the starting point for sentence should be the sentence which the young person would have been likely to receive at date offence was committed).
There is a growing body of case law that recognises turning 18 is not a "cliff edge" upon which a child transforms into a fully mature adult. The youth justice sentencing guidelines are also increasingly being referred to as relevant for young adults.
These developments are welcome and overdue. However, whilst the police, CPS and judiciary catch up with this modern approach it is vital that children and young adults who come into contact with the youth justice system receive appropriate legal advice and are able to raise these crucial arguments at the earliest stage of an investigation. It is not in any young person's interest to reach the Court of Appeal before someone understands and applies the guidelines to their particular case.

5 Stocks to School the Market

You've heard of the "January Effect," where investors sell stocks in December for tax reasons, only to buy them back in January causing their price to jump.
Yet what about other months? Retailers, for example, have some seasons that perform better than others, simply because of the nature of the business. Some stocks even do better in September. Whatever the reason, investing based solely on the calendar is certainly not a Foolish strategy.
Still, wouldn't it be great to know ahead of time which stocks performed best at what times?
On Motley Fool CAPS, more than 115,000 members have weighed in on more than 5,500 stocks, awarding five-star ratings to the companies that best command their confidence. We've paired their opinions with data going as far back as five years to see which stocks perform best in each month. The following five companies seem to do best in September:
Avg. % Return-Sept
Avg. % Return-Rest of Year
CAPS Rating (out of 5 max)
YTD Return
True Religion Jeans (NASDAQ:TRLG)
Natural Gas Services (AMEX:NGS)
NGAS Resources (NASDAQ:NGAS)
Excel Maritime (NYSE:EXM)
Immersion (NASDAQ:IMMR)
Sources: America Online, Motley Fool CAPS as of 9/5/08.
What's driven the outsized September performance of natural gas E&P NGAS Resources, while the rest of the year is essentially a bust? Considering that gas producer Natural Gas Services also does well in September, it's probably a seasonal thing. But it's also one reason why we don't recommend using this as simply a list of stocks to buy or sell -- just a platform for further research. Still, while we need to look closer for the reason, Natural Gas Services' four-star CAPS rating suggests that investors believe there's something in the air. If September really is their month to school the market, let's see which of the companies above might live up to that promise.
Attention, class!
The dry bulk shipping industry is taking it on the chin these days, as concerns over an economic slowdown in both Europe and China continue to mount. Analysts, though, think the fourth quarter will show marked improvement over current conditions, and they're finding the share price declines of shippers like Excel Maritime enticing.
CAPS member Orac78 has noticed that as well, pointing out that Excel and other shippers like Navios Maritime (NYSE:NM) are being priced as though steel, ore, and grains will never see the inside of a hull again:
This stock is getting hammered because of the bubble burst of commodities. However dryshippers are getting priced like, there will never be any more growth or commodities shipped ever. Commodities will eventually pick up again and [so] will this stock.
Independent natural-gas exploration and production company NGAS Resources focuses on drilling shallow wells, primarily in the Devonian shale formation. It uses an unconventional horizontal drilling process, but it's not alone in doing so: Kodiak Oil & Gas (AMEX:KOG) also uses such a method in the Bakken formation, for example. The process reduces its footprint and minimizes the number of wells that need to be drilled to access the same amount of oil and gas. However, it's a more expensive process that needs to be supported by higher prices. Record production has resulted in a 33% increase in revenue in the latest quarter, which is allowing NGAS to expand drilling to as many as 50 such wells over the next year.
Those are the kinds of factors CAPS member darrell54 factored into his pitch in July, when he noted that NGAS would be pumping up the volume:
This company has reserves and its own distribution pipeline. In addition they are drilling new well and increasing production annually. The price of natural gas is low when compared to oil. The comparable price of natural gas to oil is 1/6th. If you have oil at $140 the theoretical price of gas should be $23.33. Gas has a long was to go and [NGAS Resources] will be increasing their margins as the price of gas moves up.

I am Nojoom is an adaptation of the international bestseller about 10-year old Nujood, who made international headlines in 2009 when she protested against her arranged marriage.
In the film, 10 year-old Nojoom is forced to marry a 30-year-old man. The dowry offered the family a small income and 'one less mouth to feed'. Her husband is indifferent to her age. Every day after she is wedded, Nojoom works under harsh conditions and every night, she is raped. A legitimate and acceptable arrangement for all, except for Nojoom.
Nujood became the figurehead of the fight against child brides in Yemen. According to figures of the UN and the Yemeni government, some 50% of Yemeni girls are married before they are 18, while 15% are married before the age of 15.
