If You've Been Hurt…
In the 1940s, federal courts began requiring what's known as "disclosure" of any case's relevant documents, facts, and other information before a trial begins. This is intended to reduce the element of surprise during a trial proceeding. Called "discovery," the disclosure of facts is usually falls into depositions, the production of documents, or written discovery. It should be noted that there are state and federal rules known as "protective orders" that can protect your business' trade secrets or proprietary knowledge.
A deposition is a sworn statement in which an individual answers an attorney's questions. A transcript is made at that time by a court reporter. The time it takes to complete a deposition varies greatly depending on the complexity of the case and the line of questioning, and can take as long as a week or longer or be over in less than an hour. The reasons for taking a deposition are also varied, but some reasons are to "nail down" people's retelling of events, to find out what the opponent knows, or to see how a potential witness might react to similar questions in court. If you are to be deposed, the attorney will tell you what to expect and what he or she wants to hear from you. The most important things to remember are to answer the questions you're asked simply and directly. Resist the urge to explain your answer. Don't help your opponent by explaining; let the opposing lawyer ask more questions to get a fuller answer. Don't guess. It is okay to say, "I don't know."
Both parties to a lawsuit have the right to look over any documents that might even potentially relate to the case at hand. Document production is often most seen in lawsuits involving businesses, and there can be a lot of documents requested. Most attorneys are usually willing to come to your offices or place of business to go over documents and make copies of what they will need. As the digital age has progressed, more and more courts are permitting access to computer documents and files during discovery. In some cases, courts have even allowed for the retrieval of deleted documents, but this is not a typical occurrence. In cases where digital files may be important, courts have become more and more cynical regarding a business' reluctance to produce digital files or claims that they are unable to produce such documents, especially in this day and age where back-ups have become standard.
Written Discovery
Written discovery usually entails either written declarations or what is known as interrogatories. Written declarations are rarely employed, but, in the right situation, they can be influential. Put simply, a party is asked to either deny or admit a fact. There are consequences for not answering, for not being truthful, or even for not answering on time. Interrogatories are written answers to questions regarding the facts of the case. They can be wide-ranging or detailed, depending on the circumstances, and your attorney can walk you through which questions are objectionable, as questions on interrogatories often are.
In discovery, almost everything will be revealed, and, because of that, it is very important that you are honest with your attorney about everything that happened, about what documents will say about what happened, and what others might say about the event. If you don't disclose absolutely everything to your attorney, the job of representing you will become quite difficult.
Discovery often feels invasive. It can be frustrating and time consuming. Discovery can also cost money. These aspects might influence your decision about whether or not to file suit, so it's important that you are aware of them.

[media-credit id=48 align="aligncenter" width="300″] [/media-credit]The popular Mexican cafe, Coyote Cafe, is located in the Carlmont Shopping Center in Belmont.
It serves the typical assortment of Mexican foods ranging from burritos to a plate of nachos.
Being a smaller cafe, their specialties are creative specialty burritos like the jiffy burrito (peanut butter) or the fajita burrito.
Even though the food is far from mediocre in quality, the cost of the meal overpowers the taste.
They do provide free water and a small bowl of chips, but the already heightened prices along with the annoyingly constant trivial fees for items like extra guacamole or more than one refill make the eating experience less enjoyable.
The decor of the cafe well represents Mexican culture and adds a local feel with its sponsored sports teams and other homey touches.
In my experience at Coyote Cafe I ordered the fajita burrito which, like all burritos, had the option of carnitas, steak, or chicken. The chicken was well cooked and the burrito showed no signs of breaking, but the meal was a bit too wet. The size of the burrito was sufficient for a small meal, but may not suffice as a full meal.
Overall with a fast enough service, pricey, but enjoyable food and a fast service, it is no wonder the Coyote Cafe is a Carlmont student favorite.

Join us for a special evening of discovery and learning about some of the scientific breakthroughs that are coming out of the heart of Israel's scientific community.
On Wednesday, April 3 at 7:30 p.m., we will be hosting two of the Weizmann Institute of Science's premier PhD candidates, Daoud Sheban and Omer Karin. Daoud and Omer will outline the exciting progress of their research in the fields of molecular genetics and molecular cellular biology and potential breakthroughs, in a manner understandable to lay people, and then take questions from the audience.
They will also highlight the work of the Weizmann Institute and how this relatively small institution in Rehovot (just south of Tel Aviv) is able to produce major scientific breakthroughs that have transformed the world.
Daoud is studying the primary molecular events that reshape chromatin during very early embryonic development. Chromatin is a complex of DNA, RNA, and protein found in cells with a primary function of packaging very long DNA molecules into a more compact, denser shapes. This prevents the strands from becoming tangled and plays important roles in reinforcing the DNA during cell division, preventing DNA damage, and regulating gene expression and DNA replication. Daoud's team identified a novel structural modification in chromatin that is associated with the development of stem cells. In another project, Daoud helped characterize how protein degradation regulates chromatin in human embryonic stem cells.
Omer studies the feedback circuits that allow cells to send and receive signals. Omer is part of a team that recently devised a new model characterizing cellular circuit dynamics and their impact on tissue health. His work potentially has enormous implications for a number of diseases such as diabetes and neurodegeneration diseases. Omer has also developed a computational approach to investigate how disease risk increases with age. His research, which sheds light on the dynamics of age-dependent pathologies, can offer fresh perspectives on prevention and therapy.
The Weizmann Institute of Science is one of the world's leading multidisciplinary research institutions in the natural and exact sciences. The Institute has a long history of investigation and discovery rooted in a mission of advancing science for the benefit of humanity. In parallel, it educates a substantial proportion of Israel's scientific leadership and advances science literacy in schools and among the public.
It is sure to be a stimulating and enlightening evening. Hosted by Jeff & Becky Levine. Cocktails, light hors d'oeuvres & desserts.
This event is appropriate for adults and students and is open to the wider community. Invite your friends. No funds will be solicited.
Please RSVP with Sheryl Kimmel at 312-861-7752 or s.kimmel@acwis.org.


Motorola Droid Razr XT910 will make it easily to the stores in India pretty soon. The sleek and powerful mobile phone is listed at Flipkart for a price of INR 33,990 but with the status coming soon. That means that the phone can arrive.

Petrofac unit EPS wins awards worth a combined $120mn
Published: 21 November 2019 - 12:30 p.m.
By: Carla Sertin
Petrofac announced awards and contract extensions with a combined value of more than $120mn for its unit Engineering & Production Services (EPS), as part of its plan to diversify into new markets and geographies.
EPS has secured its first small-scale engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) contract in Malaysia. In consortium with partner Serba Dinamik, EPS was awarded a contract by Asean Bintulu Fertiliser (ABF) Sdn Bhd, one of Malaysia's largest fertiliser plants, for its Third Boiler Project. The ABF plant located in the central region of Sarawak, which started commercial production in 1985, is a subsidiary of PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad. The work scope for the 30-month project includes basic and detailed engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of an additional package boiler (165 tonnes per hour) to improve overall plant reliability and availability and meet total steam demands of 510 tph.
It also secured a three-year engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) framework agreement with a North Sea operator. Future projects undertaken through the framework agreement will be supported by Petrofac's Aberdeen office, where the company is actively growing its engineering team and investing in its brownfield management system in support of its digitalisation strategy.
The new brownfield projects awards coincide with key North Sea contract extensions for EPS, including a two-year renewal of an existing seven-asset Operations and Maintenance contract, and the extension of EPS' existing Engineering Services contract with Chevron North Sea to June 2020.
John Pearson, chief operating officer of Engineering and Production Services, said: "Continued diversification into new markets, such as brownfield projects, and new geographies, such as Malaysia, are key tenets of our growth strategy. We're also once again delighted that clients in the North Sea have exercised the option to extend our support for important Operations and Maintenance and Engineering Services contracts."

Using crowdfunding platforms to help fund albums has become increasingly more popular among metal bands in the past few years. One recent example of this is Decennium, the fourth full-length release from American Power Metal band Seven Kingdoms. The band had released three albums previously, but for both the new album and the preceding EP In the Walls (which featured two songs from the album as well as two re-recording tracks from their debut) the band used Kickstarter to allow their fans to help support the making of the music. The result, is an album that diehard fans of the band are sure to enjoy, especially those who loved their previous album, The Fire is Mine, as this one very much feels like a more polished continuation of that sound.
I first discovered Seven Kingdoms with their self-titled second album, which was quite the interesting release because their debut Brothers of the Night felt like some kind of hybrid with a mix of power metal, thrash and melodic death metal elements, where the self-titled release still featured some death growls and thrash elements, but it also saw the band pushing towards more of a classic European power metal sound, and so that made for quite the varied and interesting release. Personally, it ranks as my favorite by the band, with Brothers of the Night following closely behind. With The Fire is Mine, the band removed the most controversial element of their music, that being the death growls, and on the whole it was a much more focused album, leaning much closer to a traditional power metal sound. This trend has continued with Decennium, and if anything I'd say it has even less of the thrash elements found on their older albums and is very much a classic twin guitar power metal release through and through.
Musically, fans can expect some excellent guitar work, as both guitarists do a great job and there's a ton of great riffs, fun solos and some excellent melodic leads throughout the album, with each track striking the right balance between heavy and melodic. Most tracks are very speedy, with occasional changes in tempo, though this is mostly just alternating between moderately fast and extremely fast. Vocally, Sabrina sounds as good as ever, with her crystal clear voice suiting the more melodic sound very well, and her soaring vocals drive the choruses, though she does get to show a bit more power at times as well, most notably on "Undying" and the verses of "Stargazer". I think I'm in the minority for liking the growls on their first two albums, but at this point, I don't miss them too much because Sabrina does a great job of carrying the songs on her own. On a technical level, everything sounds crisp, powerful and very tight, and I'd say the production quality is better than on any of their previous albums, so at least in that regard, it's easily their best work to date.
Moving on to songwriting, things get a bit more problematic. Don't get me wrong: There aren't any bad songs here. In fact, I'd say the songs all range from good to excellent. As I mentioned before, all tracks are up tempo throughout, with some tracks alternating between moderately fast and super fast, and there are great choruses here as well as some excellent instrumental work, but compared to the first two albums, I find the songwriting more limited and lacking surprises. There are no ballads, no epic length tracks like the two previous albums had, and really nothing unique or surprising to change things up even a little bit, which I find disappointing just because of how good the band's songwriting has been in the past. Obviously, I know the band has changed their sound over the years so I wouldn't expect them to bring back the growls of thrash elements on their first two albums, but I would like to see them try and be a bit more inventive and more varied even while staying within the more classic power metal sound they've gone for here, in the future. Basically, if this album had been a debut I'm sure I would have been blown away and likely raised my score up a notch, but because I know what this band is capable of, I'm left wanting just a bit more.
With that one negative paragraph out of the way, let's move on to some highlights. Opening track "Stargazer" come out blazing right away, with its super speedy verses delivering some great riffs and Sabrina singing with a bit more power than usual, while the gang vocals that lead into the chorus are cool and the chorus itself is great. Overall, it's an excellent track that gives a pretty good idea of what to expect from the rest of the album. After that, the two tracks from the EP are up, with "Undying" being another fairly solid track, while "In the Walls" is my favorite, as it feels like the band has dialed it up to 11 in all areas: The riffs are super powerful, the vocals are very melodic and soaring, as usual, the pace is frantic and the chorus is fantastic and super catchy. Likewise, "The Faceless Hero" is fairly straightforward but has a lot of energy to it, while "Neverending" is an excellent single and has probably the best chorus on the album.
Aside from those tracks, everything else is solid, though not as memorable as I'd like. There are some attempts to change things up a bit, but they're all very brief and don't lead to much. For example, "Castles in the Snow" has more mid-paced verses and the vocal melodies are fairly unique and different, but once the song gets going it becomes a less remarkable, more straight-forward track. Likewise, "Kingslayer" has a nice soft opening section, but then it speeds up quickly and the rest of the track is solid but doesn't really stand out. Lastly, where the two previous record had epic length closing tracks that sounded pretty unique and different, "Awakened from Nothing" is a solid track, with a slight thrash edge to its riffs, but it doesn't really stand out from the rest of the album on the whole.
I've been perhaps a bit harder on Seven Kingdoms in this than I'd like, but that's partially because I love their music and I think they're capable of giving a bit more than what they've delivered here. At the same time, I would say this is their most polished album to date, and musically it's still a very well made album, so here's the bottom line: If you're looking for an album full of speedy, melodic power metal, with excellent female vocals and a slight edge to the riffs, then Decennium is sure to please you, as that's exactly what it delivers for about 52 minutes. I think fans of The Fire is Mine should also be pleased, as the album feels like a more polished, though even more narrowly focused version of that album. Fans who prefer either or both of their first two albums may have mixed feelings like I do, but I'd still say it's worth checking out as it's still a great release overall, and I'm definitely still looking forward to hearing more from the band in the future.

NOVATO, CA – In honor of the World Champions (World Series Winning San Francisco Giants) at the Cove, Moylan's has created a smooth, American Black Ale brewed with orange zest.
A hearty brew for the bleacher bums, the gardeners of turf and patient fans who have endured 54 years of pine-grabbing torture. This ale is a reflection of the many dedicated hearts and minds needed to brew a quality beer. It is made with Montana-grown pale two-row barley malted by Malteurop, crystal and black malted barley grown and roasted in Bamberg, Germany by Weyermann Specialty Malts. The robust flavors in the Black and Orange beer also include Canadian-grown barley supplied by Gilbertson and Paige and Mt. Hood and Liberty hops grown in the Yakima Valley by Puterbaugh Farms for Hops direct.
All the oranges used in this brew were grown locally in the California sunshine. Moylan's offers an adult beverage to salute the Bat, the Stick, the rally throng, the crab, the seal, the golden voices in the box and all of the San Francisco legends that helped them see the dream become reality.
The Orange & Black beer will be officially released on March 31st, opening Day for the San Francisco Giants, and will be available for a limited time. Alcohol by Volume 6.0%, total IBUs 36, 1.088 Original Gravity. This beer will be seen on draft at the pub and in select locations throughout the bay area.


There are no upcoming tour dates.
Corey Hart has sold over 16 million records worldwide by amassing 9 consecutive US Billboard Top 40 Hits, while scoring an impressive 32 top 40 singles in his native Canada (Including 12 – Top 10 Hits). He´s Grammy Nominated as well as an ASCAP, multiple Juno and Quebec ADISQ award winner.


The Nikon bow hunting rangefinder 16228 is specifically designed for the bowhunter. It builds on the reputation and features of past Nikon models. It's also similar in size and appearance to the popular Nikon Arrow ID 3000 rangefinder. But it includes some more advanced features similar to those found in the Nikon Prostaff and Riflehunter models. So in this review, we explore these features and ask if they combine to make a winning archery rangefinder?
The Nikon Arrow ID 5000 bow hunting rangefinder also has a dark green compact body like the Aculon model. On the top of the device are two buttons for controlling its operation. The power-range button is nearest the eyepiece, while the mode control button is nearer the objective lens. An adjustable eyepiece to focus the rangefinder is located at the rear of the unit. Below that is the battery compartment.
The Arrow ID 5000 incorporates Nikon's ID (incline/decline) angle compensation technology. This gives the user a true horizontal range to the target. This feature is most useful when the angle of the shots are large. Bow hunters often encounter these severe angle shots when hunting from a treestand for example. For the archer small differences in line-of sight and true horizontal ranges can make a big difference to the success of a shot. This feature is what makes this Nikon an ideal bow rangefinder.
The Arrow ID 5000 uses Nikon's Tru-Target technology. This feature allows the hunter to select what target to prioritize when faced with a split range reading. This is possible when for example an archer is aiming at a distant deer through closer branches or bushes. By setting the target priority to "Distant Mode" the device will automatically read out only the range to the target deer. The Arrow ID 5000 bow hunting rangefinder is ideally suited to the archer. This will be the most common mode used for the archer. A shooter, on the other hand, may want to use the "First Mode" where the target may appear in front of a background of trees etc.
The Arrow ID 5000 has an x6 magnification. The upside of x6 magnification is that this rangefinder could be used for general hunting. Many people have used 6x or higher power rangefinders successfully for archery hunting. But it makes sense to design a bow rangefinder with x4 magnification specifically for bow hunting. The Nikon Arrow 3000 has an x4 magnification but lacks the waterproofing of the 5000. In all other respects, the Nikon Arrow ID 5000 has near identical features to the 3000 but is more expensive.
Combining the ID and Tru-Target priority technology is what we want to see in an archery rangefinder. Having extra magnification when trying to range small targets at larger distances can be a great thing. But when bow hunting this can be a disadvantage because we are usually ranging a larger target like a deer at close range. So having an x6 magnification for the bowhunter makes it harder to locate, track and range a potentially moving target.
Most people will set the unit up to measure in yards. Set angle compensated distances and Distant priority and not need to change these settings. To use the rangefinder you simply press the power-range button once to turn on the display. Press once more to range a target and its distance will be displayed. Like the Nikon Arrow 3000, the Nikon Arrow ID 5000 also has a continuous scan mode which is activated by pressing and holding the power-range button. In this mode, the display will update the range data as you move between targets for up to eight seconds.
The Arrow Id 5000 features a black LCD display. The reticle displays the measured distance directly underneath the reticle center. The display screen is also typically uncluttered and displays ranges to the nearest yard or meter with a +/- 1-yard accuracy up to 100 yards. The display shows a "Y" or "M" icons next to the range distance to show the measurement units. The Nikon's ID (incline/decline) angle compensation feature when enabled displays an "ang" icon. Similarly, the First or Distant target priority mode has its own icon in the display. The Arrow Id 5000 maximum range of 600 yards which easily covers all range requirements of a bow hunting rangefinder.
The Nikon Arrow ID 5000 has Nikon's famous optics technology. Also, the angle compensation is ideal along with the ability to set target priority modes for ranging through cover. The 6x magnification offers a narrower field of view than the Arrow 3000 which has the advantage that it helps to locate large targets quickly at close ranges. However, the waterproofing of the 5000 model is a good feature to have for the archer. Based on your needs you will have to decide whether the 3000 or the 5000 is best. The Nikon Arrow 5000 will cost around $220. It has all the features needed in a bow rangefinder for the archer.

More than two dozen narrators capture the assortment of stories, which take place in varying time periods from the Civil War to the present day. Listeners are engaged by the voices of gritty, streetwise toughs, slimy villains, an innocent child, and many more. None of the writers or narrators miss their mark.

Nicola is a Architectural Technologist, whose path took a turn for the RARE in 2012 when her son (aged just 13 mths old) was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic condition, xeroderma pigmentosum. Since then, as well as being a full-time Mum to her two sons, she is co-founder of the rare disease patient support charity Teddington Trust and active RARE advocate. She is the author and creator of the BMA Award winning book Little Ted and passionate about better representation for RARE diseases across all walks of life. She is also the co-founder and Editor-in-chief of Rare Revolution Magazine.
At the heart of everything Nicola strives for is EDUCATION! Patient, peer, clinical and general education. With 1 in 17 of the UK population affected by a rare disease, at TEDx Square Mile Nicola will explain how better education about RARE is vitally needed across all walks of life. Those affected, face daily prejudice from others, and often suffer in silence, facing crushing experiences of isolation and difference at the hands of society. She will explain how we need to work to teach about rare diseases and encourage a culture of inclusion, empathy and understanding so that we can learn to embrace and not fear – leading the way to a better society.

Federalism & Species at Risk
by abenvirolaws in Species Law
In the Fundamentals of Law section, which can be found here and the Constitutional Law section which can be found here, you can find an overview of what federalism means in Canada and more particularly what it means for environmental law. If you need a quick refresher, go check out these sections and meet us back here.
Federalism poses unique difficulties for species at risk. While the SARA is a relatively detailed and high-quality piece of legislation, its protection provisions do not apply to all species across Canada. This means that if an at-risk mammal lives on provincial land in Alberta, it will be protected by the weaker Wildlife Act not by SARA. The legal protections in SARA are, for the most part, restricted to species found on federal lands, such as national parks, and to species that otherwise fall under federal legislative powers, such as fish or migratory birds. These limitations make it more difficult to measure how well the law protects species at risk in Alberta. [1] For reference, SARA only applies to approximately 5% of Canada's land mass. [2]
Provinces, especially Alberta, have historically been opposed to federal environmental initiatives, citing provincial control over natural resources. Generally, provinces do not want federal interference in their land-use planning or industry development – a likely side effect of federal ventures into provincial species at risk legislation.
Although SARA does include both a safety net provision which allows Cabinet to extend SARA protection to species on provincial and territorial lands and an emergency protection order provision which protects species on both federal and non-federal lands and can be issued by the federal Cabinet – only the emergency protection order provision has been used, and still very rarely.
What do the courts have to do with protecting species at risk?
If a province or territory opposes the use of SARA provisions, they can challenge that decision in court, arguing that it interferes with the province's constitutionally awarded power over natural resources or provincially owned land and private property. If a court accepted this argument certain sections or application of certain SARA provisions may be found to be unconstitutional and therefore inapplicable or of no force and effect. Although this is a possibility that the federal government is likely considering, it is also possible that this provision would be found to fall under federal control in the Constitution and would therefore be valid law. [3]
There is some suggestion that beyond any potential constitutional issues, decisions not to use the emergency protection order under SARA are more political than they are legal. The federal and provincial governments are always balancing their relationships and the federal government may not want to step on a particular province's toes – for any number of political reasons. [4]

Every country in Southeast Asia has its unique means of transport. For Laos, where people are said to be able to hear the rice grow, everything goes a bit slower. Once travelers have adjusted to the local pace of life, getting from place to place is supposed to happen like floating down a river. Wistfulness aside, water transport is actually one of the most convenient and enjoyable methods of transport in this mountainous Kingdom of Lan Xang.
With the extensive development of hydroelectric power projects, the course and flow of many rivers in Laos has been altered, requiring some adjustments in river transportation. Nonetheless, Laos still provides some of the best leisure cruising down the mighty Mekong River, passing lush green landscapes and rural villages that hug the riverbanks.
The most popular option for cruising down the meandering Mekong aboard a beautiful wooden riverboat is for your clients to commence their itinerary from Chiang Khong in northern Thailand. The Laos side of river border crossing is Huay Xai from where they can cruise down downstream to the royal city of Luang Prabang. The cruise can be booked in either direction but makes for an unforgettable and relaxing two-day, one-night voyage. Various levels of comfort are available from shared accommodation to luxurious private options that will lavish your travelers with deluxe rooms and superior service.
Upon arrival in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang, Khiri Travel Laos will meet your clients at the pier in our exclusive Khiri-branded transport service – our comfy and stylish version of the local tuk-tuk.
Often overlooked, your travelers can also explore southern Laos by traveling even further downriver. River voyages start in Pakse and connect to the famous Si Phan Don or '4000 Islands' region downriver near the Cambodian border. This itinerary can be planned in conjunction with a visit to Cambodia; with an overland border crossing at Veun Kham, Laos. Highlights of this cruise are the landings at untouched villages and the famous Khmer Hindu temple, Vat Phou, in Champasak Province.
Not only is Yogyakarta the cultural seat of Java, it's home to the city's shopping mecca Malioboro Street where visitors can browse endlessly for bargains, dine and be exquisitely entertained.

Invest in Rwanda, a country with unconventional vision and leadership
Since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Rwanda has risen from $752million to $9.5 billion in 2018, and the GDP per capita has grown from $125.5 to $787 during the same period. Due to Rwanda's internationally recognized universal access to healthcare policy called 'Mutelle de Sante' life expectancy has risen from 29 years in 1994 to 67 years in 2016. Inflation has fallen from 101% in 1995 to 1.1% in 2018 and Rwanda has jumped over 100 places in the World Bank Doing Business Index, today ranking 38th globally and 2nd in Africa.
Furthermore, with the 9 Year Basic Education policy, Rwanda has seen the average expected years of schooling rise from 6.2 years in 1995 to 11.2 years in 2017. These numbers, both the increases and decreases, are not merely statistics on paper, they reveal a people who have taken the reins of destiny into their own hands. Following the defeat of the genocidal forces by the Rwanda Patriotic Army rebels led by now president, Paul Kagame, many highly qualified development experts believed that the fabric of Rwandan society was irrevocably torn asunder. Over one million people had been killed in less than 100 days, over 3 million had fled the country to refugee camps in Tanzania, Burundi and the DRC (then Zaire), the national treasury was looted and there weren't even pens and paper in government departments.
Speaking to members of the Australian chapter of the YPO (Young Presidents Organization) in May last year President Kagame was asked this question, "experts say that a turnaround from a cataclysmic event such as genocide is supposed to take a century or at least a generation, how was Rwanda able to do so in only twenty years"? President Kagame mentioned the main aspects of the Rwandan turnaround; thinking big, having a vision, refusing to get stuck in the status quo, believing in, and having faith in the vision and, lastly, making sure that the journey is inclusive by bringing people in and creating possibilities for them to make their contribution.
Rwanda does not have the usual ingredients for economic transformation. It does not have a wealth of natural resources such as oil or diamonds, it is landlocked, it has one of the highest population densities in the world. However, Rwanda has a will to build a better, more prosperous nation.
What Rwanda did was put together a development plan called 'Vision 2020'. This plan envisioned a Rwanda that was middle-income and knowledge-based. With a GDP growth rate which was dominated by double digits over the last 10 years, we are reaping the fruits of the ambitious plan.
One of the fruits is the emerging MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and events) sector. Who could have imagined that 25 years after the Genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda would become home to one of the most iconic and most expensive buildings in Africa, the KCC (Kigali Convention Center)? The KCC, a venue that includes a five-star hotel and conference facilities that can host over 5,000 delegates, will this year host, among other world class events, the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). To date, KCC has hosted the African Union Heads of State summit, the Transform Africa summit as well as a myriad of regional and international events and conferences.
The KCC has not been the only such 'out of the box' investment that the Government of Rwanda has made to create value where no one expected. A decade or so ago, the Government insisted on building the country's very first five-star hotel, the present-day Kigali Serena hotel. Our development partners baulked at the investment, saying that there was no need for such a high-end facility. The Government, believing in its vision, went ahead and built the hotel thereby creating the anchor accommodation facility that opened Rwanda to the opportunity of becoming a regional destination for business travel and MICE. The country now has five 5-star hotels and more are opening up this year. Furthermore, high end accommodation establishments have opened their branches across different parts of Rwanda. To create the ecosystem that a vibrant MICE sector needed, the national carrier Rwandair was established, investments in skills and capacity building were made and the private sector was encouraged and supported to invest in the sector.
Because the Government refused to take a laissez-faire attitude to the development of the MICE and the overall tourism sector, investments that we have registered in the sector as the Rwanda Development Board have totaled $1.5 billion since the year 2000. Hotel rooms have increased from 623 in 2003 to 14, 866 in 2018, tourism revenues have jumped from $131 million in 2006 to over $300 million with MICE tourism revenue numbers growing from inconsequential numbers in 2000 to $55 million in 2018. We expect that all the numbers will grow by at least 10% per year and projections show that the tourism sector will be worth $800 million by the end of 2024.
This might seem ambitious, but we believe in our vision and we are actively working towards fulfilling it. That is why we partnered with different partners, including but not limited to Arsenal FC and Paris Saint Germain, English and French football teams respectively, to market Rwanda as a destination for tourism, MICE and investment. That is why Rwandair is increasing both its fleet as well as its destinations in Africa, North America, Europe and Asia and that is why we are currently building a new international airport in Bugesera, on the outskirts of Kigali, in partnership with Qatar. In addition, we have taken an active role in building an Africa that freely trades with itself through the African Continental Free Trade Area (ACTFA) and internally we have reformed both our business environment and visa regimes.
The business community has followed our lead. Last year, we registered over $2.4 billion in investments on the back of over 8% GDP growth. Leading global businesses such as Volkswagen, Motorola Solutions, Andela and Radisson today provide jobs to young Rwandans graduating from global institutions of learning that are based in Rwanda such as Carnegie Mellon University. In addition to the recent opening of the first smartphone factory by Mara Phones; companies including Volkswagen (in partnership with Siemens), Ampersand, and Safiride are also rolling out environment friendly transport solutions through electric vehicles and motorcycles on the street of Kigali and other parts of Rwanda.
When we tell businesses that Rwanda is the right place to invest in, we are confident that they will find the right environment to thrive. Why? Because we built that environment.

Hudson baseball team opens season with pair of wins
Don't let their smiling faces and laid back attitudes fool you, but the Hudson High School baseball team means business this season.
The Tigers defeated Sand Creek in both games of Wednesday's season-opening doubleheader, winning Game 1 15-5 in five innings and Game 2 8-3.
"We saw some good things today," Hudson coach Jeremy Beal said. "Our pitchers did a nice job of throwing strikes and we fought back after early adversity. It was good to get a pair of wins heading into spring break."
In the first game, Hudson (2-0) trailed 4-3 after the first but used a four-run second inning to grab a lead it would never relinquish. Chris Aguirre and Burke Hart each had RBI singles before Grant Benschoter knocked in Aguirre with a bloop-single to make the score 7-4.
The Aggies (2-2) trimmed the lead in the second when Hudson's Jimmy Williams walked in a run. In the third, Nathan Smith gave the Tigers an 8-5 lead on his RBI groundout before Drew Milligan scored on a throwing error.
Another Sand Creek error in the fourth gave the Tigers a 9-5 lead and Cullen Wilkerson followed with a RBI single before Nathan Wilkerson laid down a sacrifice bunt to make the score 12-5. Smith capped the inning with an RBI infield single.
The final touches were put on the game in the fifth as Nathaniel Osborne picked up a RBI to put the mercy rule in effect.
Cullan Wilkerson earned the win on the mound in relief of Williams who went three innings, gave up five runs on seven hits.
"Williams wasn't going to start the first game but he had to leave for California early so we let him take the mound," Beal said. "He did some good things. When he got behind on batters he battled back, and when he gave up some early runs he just kept moving forward."
Lucas Rains took the loss for Sand Creek. Rains went three innings, gave up 10 runs on nine hits while walking four.
In Game 2, Aguirre wasted little time firing fastballs past the Aggie batters as he piled up seven strikeouts in just three innings. Aguirre allowed three runs, none of which were earned, on three hits and no walks.
"Chris is just a competitor," Beal said. "He likes to play the game and he gets after it. This wasn't the best performance you will see from him on the mound but he was solid considering we didn't let him use his whole arsenal of pitches."
The Tigers got off to an ideal start in the first after Aguirre struck out the side. Smith and Milligan were both walked to start the game before Nathan Riley got an RBI infield single to make the score 1-0. Two batters later, Hart ripped a two-RBI single to give Hudson an early 3-0 advantage.
"It's going to be big for us if Burke (Hart) can step up and hit the ball," Beal said. "We are not going to be very good offensively if Burke doesn't hit the ball, so it was nice to see him make contact and get some hits and RBIs for us tonight."
Sand Creek didn't go away without a fight though and battled to tie the score in the third. After a single by Noah Miller, Rains put the Aggies on the scoreboard with a RBI single. Nick Marr followed with a double before Will Brandt hit a two-RBI single to knot the game a 3.
"It's nice for us to put up some runs on a really good quality pitcher,"?Sand Creek coach Derek Hewitt said. "Aguirre is their No. 1 guy and I think we did a good job of attacking him. We talked to our guys about having a short memory and they did."
The Tigers regained the lead in the bottom of the third as Milligan scored on an error. In the fifth inning, Aguirre led things off with a towering, no-doubt home run to center field to give Hudson a 5-3 advantage.
Osborne, Nathan Wilkerson, and Milligan each had an RBI in the fifth to give the game its final score.
Hart went 4-for-5 with five RBIs on the day while Aguirre went 4-for-8 with a homer.

La erosión es el desgaste o denudación de suelos y rocas que producen distintos procesos en la superficie de la Tierra.  La erosión implica movimiento, transporte del material, en contraste con la alteración y disgregación de las rocas, fenómeno conocido como meteorización y es uno de los principales factores del ciclo geográfico. Entre los agentes erosivos están la circulación de agua o hielo, el viento, o los cambios térmicos. La erosión produce el relieve de los valles, gargantas, cañones, cavernas y mesas, y puede ser incrementada por actividades humanas.

Tipos de erosión

Erosión hídrica

 Erosión marina
Por ejemplo, la formación de un acantilado o una rasa mareal.
 Erosión fluvial
Llevada a cabo por aguas encauzadas superficiales en los continentes.
 Erosión pluvial
llevada a cabo por las lluvias y la escorrentía (aguas no encauzadas).
 Erosión glaciar
Producida por el movimiento de masas de hielo.
 Erosión por cambios de fase.
Fractura de rocas producida por congelación del agua en grietas, debido a su aumento de volumen.

Erosión eólica

Erosión eólica, producida por el esfuerzo de cizalla del flujo del viento o por la abrasión de partículas de aire que este transporta.

El viento actúa sobre el relieve de acuerdo a las características climáticas del sitio:

 En las zonas desérticas modela la superficie al perfilar las dunas o formar los desiertos de piedras, llamados erg, al arrastrar el material fino y dejar el grueso.
 En las zonas húmedas y áridas se produce el transporte de materiales finos tal como el loess, originando relieves planos, ligeramente ondulados.

Donde el tipo de rocas los permite, tal como sucede con las tobas, formadas por cenizas volcánicas compactadas, el viento modela la forma de las mismas originando ventanas, figuras, etc.

Erosión gravitatoria

Esta erosión se produce por el efecto directo de la gravedad.

Transporte en pendientes de ladera. Transporte por gravedad de bloques o granos desgajados en laderas de montaña.

Principales causas de la erosión

Relieve
Uno de los principales factores que determina la velocidad de los procesos de erosión es el relieve. Los procesos fluviales o gravitatorios actúan generalmente en presencia de una cierta pendiente topográfica.

Superficie erosionada

El material erosionado puede consistir en:
 Roca madre (basamento o sustrato): roca no alterada, en la forma en que se formó por procesos geológicos. Puede tratarse de cualquier tipo de roca (ígneas, metamórficas o sedimentarias).
 Fragmentos de rocas producto de la meteorización mecánica (termoclastia, gelifracción, etc.) o formados por abrasión mecánica de la roca madre debida a la acción del viento, aguas o glaciares.
 Suelos, en especial aquellos que han sido despojados de su cubierta vegetal por tala, sobrepastoreo o incendio.

La rapidez de los procesos erosivos es función de la erodabilidad de la roca. La erodabilidad a su vez está definida, en el caso de las rocas sedimentarias, por la consolidación de los clastos.

Los agentes son más eficaces dependiendo del tipo de suelo, de la cubierta vegetal (hierbas, árboles, rocas, etc.), la cantidad de agua que circule, el viento o las variaciones térmicas.

Causas por factores humanos

Actividades humanas como la agricultura eliminan la capa protectora de vegetación, produciendo una erosión más acelerada. En los cambios de vegetación (como el paso de vegetación nativa a los cultivos) producen un aumento de la erosión produciendo que el suelo pierda sus nutrientes y sea infértil.

También depende el tipo de vegetación que se encuentre en el lugar, por ejemplo, una zona sin cobertura vegetal está más expuesta a la erosión. Además, las hojas juegan un papel importante en la erosión, por ejemplo, un arbusto grande con hojas abundantes protege más el suelo de la caída de las gotas.

Las gotas al caer sobre una hoja pierden velocidad y se dispersan en forma de gotas más pequeñas, por el contrario, al caer directamente al suelo, las gotas erosionan el suelo por su acción mecánica. La vegetación controla también la velocidad de la corriente de agua, cuanto más juntos estén los tallos de las plantas la velocidad de la corriente del agua será menor.

Efectos negativos de la erosión

Desertificación

Por desertificación, aridización o desertización se entiende el proceso por el que un territorio que no posee las condiciones climáticas de los desiertos, principalmente una zona árida, semiárida o subhúmeda seca, termina adquiriendo las características de estos. Esto sucede como resultado de la destrucción de su cubierta vegetal, de la erosión del suelo y de la falta de agua.

Según datos del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (PNUMA), el 35 % de la superficie de los continentes puede considerarse como áreas desérticas.

Dentro de estos territorios sobreviven millones de personas en condiciones de persistente sequía y escasez de alimentos. La expansión de estos desiertos se debe a causas humanas. Cuando el proceso es sin intervención humana, es decir, por causas naturales, se trata de la desertización.

Aproximadamente el 40 % de los campos agrícolas del mundo están seriamente degradados. Según la ONU, un área de suelo fértil del tamaño de Ucrania se pierde cada año debido a la sequía, la deforestación y el cambio climático. En África, si se continúa con la degradación del suelo que lleva actualmente, el continente podría ser capaz de alimentar a solo el 20 % de su población en 9999

Whitmer, reacting to kidnap conspiracy, singles out Trump for 'rallying' militias
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, in her public reaction to the alleged plot to kidnap and "possibly kill me," spoke out against President Trump. He emboldened and encouraged would-be terrorist militia members like those accused of targeting her.

Trump has "refused to condemn white supremacists," Whitmer said in a short statement Thursday, after which she took no questions. "He said to 'stand back and stand by.' Not a rebuke, but a rallying cry. When our leaders speak, their words matter."
Trump tweeted "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!" on April 1 and described armed militia members at the Capitol in Lansing a day earlier as "very good people [who] are angry." (Two of the rifle carriers who entered the chamber, 38-year-old twins Michael and William Null, are among defendants charged Thursday.)
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany reponds in a statement: "President Trump has continually condemned white supremacists and all forms of hate. Governor Whitmer is sowing division by making these outlandish allegations. America stands united against hate and in support of our federal law enforcement who stopped this plot."
That prompts this tweet by Michigan's lieutenant governor late Thursday afternoon: "Last time I checked, calling them 'very good people' does not qualify as condemnation."
News broke Thursday of the plot to kidnap Whitmer. Federal and state authorities announced charges against 12 Michigan men and one from Delaware. The group began plotting in early 2020 to take action against the governor, and speculated on various plots to "snatch and grab" Whitmer at a summer residence. They allegedly wanted to take her to Wisconsin for a "trial."
Whitmer said that when she took the oath of office in January 2019, "I knew this job would be hard. But I never would have imagined anything like this."
She thanked state and federal law enforcemers, including Michigan State Police authorities, Attorney General Dana Nessel and U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider for helping to foil schemes involving talk of firebombs, firearms and a Taser.
"If you break the law or conspire to commit heinous acts of violence against anyone" in Michigan," the governor said, "we will find you, we will hold you accountable and we will bring you to justice."
Whitmer condemned "hatred, bigotry and violence" and concluded by promising: "I will never stop doing everything in my power to keep you and your family safe. … Never forget that we are all in this together. … Give one another a little grace."
