Rage and action needed to fight murders
By READER LETTER - 21 September 2018 - 12:17
Police Minister Bheki Cele.
The reality of increased crime in our country, particularly murder, is concerning.
The crime statistics that were released by police minister, Mr Bheki Cele, last week, are quite alarming, to say the least. Of particular concern, is the worsening rate of murders! Whist all crime is evil and against common good, murder makes the Bill of Rights completely meaningless. Enjoyment of constitutional rights is dependent on the right to life. A human corpse does not exercise any of the rights enshrined in the Chapter 2 of our constitution.
Every government's primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of its citizens. Linked to that, is the guarantee and reasonable provision of secondary rights, especially basic services without which people can only exist in misery, reduced to subhuman conditions. This is what should inform government policies, in broad terms.
Most robberies are inside jobs' says Gauteng safety MEC
The majority of armed robberies and burglaries are the result of inside jobs.
Of grave concern are realities that statistically, the majority of murder victims are black and poor. The well to do can afford state of the art security arrangements for their homes, families, schools and neighbourhoods. They can pressurise the South African Police Service (SAPS) to patrol their residentials areas. Social conditions of the poor make them easy prey to violence, resulting in death. We often forget that it is the votes of the poor that send politicians to parliament, provincial legislatures and municipal councils.
The murder statistics of 57 people being killed in South Africa everyday, as announced by Cele, do not, as a rule, include unreported cases.
Whilst President Cyril Ramaphosa is wowing foreign investors to boost our economy, the state of insecurity in South Africa will deter some of them from risking their investments. The so-called "advisory" to the United States of America citizens about the dangers of visiting our country will not help Ramaphosa's efforts. Granted, this must be dismissed as US president Donald Trump's racist madness, it still has the potential to harm our international image!
The murder statistics focus on private, unarmed civilians, while members of the SAPS experience many casualties as well. This makes the problem even more complex. It suggests the police cannot win this war alone. Even in an open war situation, civilians have a role to play.
Apparently, not even the notoriously thriving security industry in south Africa seem to be making much difference in saving lives, especially of the most vulnerable.
What is even more worrisome is that the culprits are known in the community. They are feared, because protection for whistle-blowers is lacking. But what is the role of religious organisations in this epidemic? Schools, universities, businesses? Moral Regeneration Movement (MRM)? Ordinary citizens, traditional leaders, student's youth organisations, political formations, faculties and media? Where are the erstwhile street/area/regional committees? Where are community leaders not affiliated to political parties? Am I my brother's keeper? Yes, and more.
SAPS, give us hope against lawlessness
Locals had to resort to a drastically violent action to deal with a situation police should have been privy to for a long time.
We are of the view that joint projects between SAPS and the broader civil society can play a very important role. Focus on ethical values, the way people behave individually and socially, is informed by social values taught to them from youth. That's where MRM comes in, as informed by late President Nelson Mandela's call for an RDP (Reconstruction and Development Programme) of the Soul.
Whilst the president's war against corruption and state capture is critical, the murder epidemic should be heard more forcefully. When the minister of police confesses that South Africa is like a war zone the situation must be very grim indeed
Government cannot use ordinary measures to combat an extraordinary/abnormal national threat. Citizens cannot live in a state of perpetual fear for their lives.
There is an urgent need for rage and action.
Father Mkathswa is the chairperson of the Moral Regeneration Movement.
Police admit to error in latest crime stats
Our crime stats are different to SAPS stats' says Sabric

Catholic women urged to oppose death penalty
CHICAGO — Work to end the death penalty. That's what Sister Helen Prejean asked of more than 650 women Nov. 9 at the National Council of Catholic Women's annual conference held over three days in downtown Chicago.
NCCW consists of more than 4,000 women's organizations in U.S. parishes and dioceses.
Sister Prejean, a Sister of St. Joseph of Medaille, delivered the event's keynote address and shared details of how she started working to end the death penalty.
Judy Powers, from the Diocese of Palm Beach, Fla., carries a candle in procession at the opening Mass of the annual convention of the National Council of Catholic Women in Chicago Nov.10. Nearly 700 Catholic women from across the United States were expected to attend the Nov. 9-12 NCCW gathering. Representing more than 4,000 groups and 4,000 individual members, the organization seeks to bolster spirituality, leadership and service among Catholic women. (CNS photo/Karen Callaway, Catholic New World)
In the early 1980s, the Louisiana Prison Coalition asked the nun to correspond with Patrick Sonnier, a convicted murderer on death row. Sonnier admitted to killing two teenagers with his brother.
Sister Prejean eventually became Sonnier's spiritual adviser and was present at his death by electrocution. She chronicled her journey in her book "Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States," which later became a movie.
Through her experience with Sonnier and working with the poor, Sister Prejean said, God changed her heart and prompted her, through grace, to look deep into the issues surrounding capital punishment and the legal system.
"Many, many times we don't know from square one if we got the right person. It's so broken," Sister Prejean said of the legal process and the death penalty.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that "the traditional teaching of the church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor. If, however, nonlethal means are sufficient to defend and protect people's safety from the aggressor, authority will limit itself to such means."
In today's society, especially in the United States, "the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity are very rare, if not practically nonexistent."
Throughout her friendship with Sonnier, Sister Prejean said, she was always "horrified" by his crime and at the same time, "I looked at that man being killed in that chair and I said, 'That is a man and he is a child of God.'" Perpetrators are human beings who "have a dignity which should not be taken from them," she said.
She told the Catholic women about how the Holy Spirit is always at work in small ways.
The Lord took her deeper in her journey when she met the parent of one of Sonnier's victims. The father asked her why she never visited either of the victims' families, both Catholics, along with visiting Sonnier.
In what Sister Prejean described as emotional and spiritual moments, the father shared with her how he didn't want to see Sonnier killed and how much pressure the families were under by others to support the death penalty. His relationship with Christ was what helped him not want to see Sonnier put to death, even though he killed his son.
Sister Prejean likened the issues surrounding the death penalty to a cross with the victim's family on one side and the perpetrator on the other.
"What if we women of compassion reach out to the people on both ends of this cross?" Sister Prejean asked conference attendees.
Even though the Catholic Church is a leader in the effort to end the death penalty in the United States, Sister Prejean said it's not an easy issue to accept.
"Do we struggle with this? Yes, we do," she said, adding that the journey to understand the Gospel always comes with some struggles.
Several attendees said they were inspired by Sister Prejean's talk.
"It's given me a whole new outlook on the issue," said Barbara Asfendis, president of the Miami Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women in Florida.
"When we get back to Miami, as Sister Helen asked, we are going to really try to get our members to see her vision and understand it." The archdiocese has 2,500 women involved in its council, Asfendis said.
Chicago's Cardinal Francis E. George was the main celebrant of an afternoon Mass Nov. 9. Several dozen priests joined him, along with Bishops James V. Johnston of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Mo.; Bishop R. Daniel Conlon of Joliet and Auxiliary Bishop Joseph N. Perry of Chicago.
The cardinal told the women that our mission as Catholics "is to introduce the world to Jesus Christ." Knowing who Jesus is gives all of us the courage to be love in action, he said.
The cardinal received a round of applause when he told the women that his mother was a member of Chicago's Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women. He said her involvement with the group had a big impact in his mother's faith life.
"We were better Catholics because my mother belonged to the ACCW," he said.

"A fitting follow-up to its award-winning predecessor, Landing Gear is a beautiful and profound story about finding love, peace, and meaning in a too-busy world."
"A highly sensual evocation of place and time [with] one of the most distinctive and memorable voices in recent literature."
Kate Pullinger writes for both print and digital platforms. Her most recent fiction, Jellybone, a novel for smartphones, was published in September 2017 - it's currently available for free via the Oolipo app on both iOS and Android.
Kate's novel Landing Gear was published in 2014. Landing Gear takes the story told in Pullinger's collaborative multimedia digital work, co-created with Chris Joseph, Flight Paths: A Networked Novel, and develops it further. Also in 2014, Pullinger collaborated with novelist and theatre-maker Neil Bartlett to create the digital war memorial, Letter to an Unknown Soldier. Commissioned by 14-18 NOW to mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War One and inspired by the statue of the unknown soldier on Platform One of Paddington Train Station in London, this project inspired 22,000 people to write letters to the unknown soldier. A selection of these letters was published in a book of the same name.
At the Electronic Literature Organization's annual conference, Inanimate Alice, Episode 6: The Last Gas Station was awarded Honourable Mention for The Robert Coover Award for a Work of Electronic Literature.

Having your own business to manage can be a rewarding and exciting experience, especially if you are managing one that you just love doing.
If you own a beauty salon or you are planning on building one, then you have come to the right place. PJS Beauty Salon Equipment will give you tips on how to choose the right beauty salon furniture for your business.
Before even shopping for your salon equipment, be sure to determine which salon services you will offer. If you are planning to offer hair services, then start looking for a salon chair, a sink to wash and rinse the hair, trolleys to hold your supplies, and hair styling equipment such as hair dryers, hair straighteners, perming equipment, and the likes.
Do not settle for just one manufacturer or supplier. Look around and compare the prices to see which store offers the best prices. If you are getting items in bulk, then you can go ahead and try asking for a discount. There is no harm in trying and who knows, you might even get some freebies or special offers.
Your primary concern should be your customer's comfort. They must feel comfortable in your salon and when they do, you can ensure that they will keep coming back. They might even spread the word and recommend you to their friends and family.
You should likewise think about the whole colour scheme of the salon. Everything should match, from the walls down to the sink. These days, aesthetics is very important and if your salon looks great, your customers will keep visiting it.
Always take your time when doing your furniture shopping, as these things can be costly, not to mention you will be using them for a long time. Look for a reputable manufacturer or supplier to ensure quality and durability.

Adrian Kiss at Nyolcésfél
Artist: Adrian Kiss
Title: Dunyha Tomorrow
Venue: Nyolcésfél, Budapest
Photos: Dávid Bíró
The hybrid character of the works created by Adrian Kiss (1990) in recent years has evolved from the synthesis of the sensuality of his artistic approach and the rationality of his creative process conceived of as design. While the former presupposes a contemplative, spontaneous openness, the latter implies an oriented and controlled process – the journey from sketch to finished object – in which the execution and completion of the materials by means of professional and applied techniques is at once complemented by the poetics of their inner sensuality. It is in this duality that Kiss's unique narrative installations created in recent years are deconstructed and constructed, their thematic unity provided by the formulation of the human body in abstract forms, their medial basic tone by the extensive use of materials, meaningful in its diversity (leather, artificial leather, canvas, concrete, wood, ceramics), and their visual character by the appropriation of details and industrial design forms borrowed from the world of everyday objects and fashion.
The main motif of Kiss's latest installation, which occupies the entire space, is a bedding-like object, the duvet, which has appeared in previous exhibitions, and which defines the structure of an entire environment this time. Both in its simple materiality and honest, everyday form, the duvet holds our attention with the sentimental allusiveness of the absence of personal memories and human presence, while also pushing it away with the distancing effects of its cool, streamlined, sci-fi-like design. Kiss's assembled duvets can even be read as a summation of his work over the past few years. The sculptural quality of the three-dimensional objects derived from forms and design variations based on sketches is enhanced by the narrative concept of 'location': the installation, operating within the dramaturgies of excavation, hanging clothes to dry, and fashion show, is an event of emotionless catharsis and cathartic apathy. Its futuristic momentum is attenuated by a nostalgia that rises from the deepest depths.
Paradox is a substantial concept in Kiss's art: we find it in the blending of archaic and futuristic qualities often used as a cultural topos, in the juxtaposition of coarse and delicate materials, and the contrast between streamlined design and irregular forms. Paradox, however, is not a complacent expression of an artistic trope for its own sake or of irritation roused by the tension between different sensations. Kiss's oeuvre to date – sometimes theatrical, sometimes more restrained works and exhibitions – is interested precisely in eliminating contradictions: he encourages us to experience the interaction of paired qualities as natural, and to reconstruct a possible world through cowhide and concrete, flower bouquet and linen, trousseau and automotive design. In this sense, while the result of conscious scenic design, the elaborately detailed installation (enhanced by spontaneous solutions and coincidences) seeks naturalness: it presents itself as an alternative, speculative situation (as a fictitious fact) with unwavering confidence in all its elements, authoritatively and realistically (as factual fiction).
This fiction is constructed through appropriation, using various sources of inspiration, such as excerpts from internet image searches and downloaded images: the image of drying clothes screenshotted from the Chernobyl series, the 'wet installation' by the also Romanian-born Ana Lupas from the seventies, Ferrari design, biker stickers, fragments of anime drawings, leather jacket tailoring patterns, leather furniture design. Kiss's personal mythology includes phantoms of the industrial environment of his childhood in Balánbánya and the debris of a burnt-out stable, as well as the memory of his partner's great-grandparents in the form of inherited, century-old duvet covers.
The duvets and the iron structure are products of a wild imagination: the huge carpet hangers appear from a child's perspective as giant, monstrous constructions, while the site of hanging clothes out to dry evokes associations of playgrounds. Arranged as utilitarian objects in the situation of hanging out to dry, on closer inspection, the duvets appear to be shrouds that preserve imprints, don masks and become anthropomorphised characters, kinky abstractions or magical passages. They are all objects of unfamiliar familiarity, of fiction that is, shaped and filled by the imagination. In this way, paradoxes actually give form to the lyricism inherent in the experience of time and reality for the visitor. They give form to the relation to the passing of time, the relationship between our inner perception saturated with sacral elements, and impermanent everyday reality, our inner journey between the looming past and the uncertain future, the relationship between external aggressiveness and inner affections. To the natural transit-experience of life.

Collin over at Hip to Save recently had a great post on gift basket ideas made with all your coupon goodies. Check out all her readers great ideas here.
That reminded me to share my gift basket for a baby shower that I made with all my coupon goodies. I gave her the basket with all the baby stuff and then put the diapers and wipes in a separate bag.
Regular price I would have paid $41.69!
That even includes the basket being 50% off, the washclothes 40% off, and the Huggies bath stuff b1g1 free.
If I would have paid full price for all of it it would have cost me $66.38!!
I have enough of this to give many more gift baskets and have since been on the hunt at Goodwill and yardsales for inexpensive baskets to reduce my cost even more.
My brain is already spinning with more gift basket ideas I could do for Christmas, holidays, college kids, etc.
What about you? Any gift basket ideas that you have done or plan to do with your coupons goodies?
I love this idea! Last year I gave all the ladies on my Cmas gift list a reusable bag I had gotten free full of soap, toothpaste and hair stuff. This year I plan to fill a basket or another specialty bag with laundry stuff (bounce bar etc).
I just did this kind of thing for a friend who bought a house. I had extra cleaning and household products and made a cute basket out of stuff in my stash! Thanks to you and other bloggers who help me find the deals!
Thanks for the tip. I have given you the Lovely Blog Award. Thanks for sharing your many deals.
We have a friend getting married this weekend and I'm taking a cleaning bucket full of cleaning supplies as the gift. I got the bucket at Bed Bath & Beyond (using a cpn, of course) and all the goodies inside were super cheap or free w/ cpns.
Last Christmas, I gave my babysitters gift bags full of free hair things, lipgloss, mascara, nail polish, candy, gum, etc.
I gave "off to college" totes to the girls I teach at church. They were all moving out for school so I found plastic shower totes on 75% off at Bed Bath and Beyond and filled them with all my freebies from Walgreens and CVS (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, razors, shave gel, chapstick, toothpaste, a toothbrush, soap, etc....all the stuff that it's painful to pay for when you are a student. I wrapped them in clear celophane and they looked cute. I'd attach a photo but I don't think I can! The girls loved them!

Is The UK Interfering In Iran Again?
Mon 2:36 pm +00:00, 13 Nov 2017
"… you have an authoritarian regime and you find who the reformers are within that [regime] and work with them…"
Juliette Harkin, former BBC Media Action Project Manager
At whose bequest Juliette? Not mine!
Iran? UK? BP? Are we at again? Iran appears to be a mixture of deep rich cultural heritage plus arcane insane practices such as stoning women to death, but that does not give the UK license to interfere; just as we would not welcome a foreign nation state interfering into our home affairs.
Charity. NGO. Sustainable development agencies. When will the British tax payer wise up and cease consent to on-going interference by these subversive agents?
Detained by Iran, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, British-Iranian, works for the Thompson Reuters Foundation: http://www.trust.org/
'We are the philanthropic arm of Thomson Reuters, the world's biggest news and information provider. We are registered as an independent charity both in the UK and in the USA….'
Independent my arse.
… and before that she worked for BBC Media Action:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaaction/
This is a supposedly charitable organisation owned by the BBC, not funded by the BBC. It shares the BBC pension pot; is funded by the Foreign Commonwealth Office, the Department For International Development, the US State Department and US Agency For International Development, the €U, the UN, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and more…

https://www.ukcolumn.org/article/bbc-media-action-subversion-broadcasting-house-kazakhstan
Juliette Harkin, former BBC Media Action Project Manager and an expert on Syria states:
"… we [BBC Media Action] worked in 2004 with individuals within the [Syrian] ministry who wanted change and tried to get them to be the drivers of that. All media development work that has been done within Syria has, in my opinion, been predicated upon this idea that there can be change from within – you have an authoritarian regime and you find who the reformers are within that [regime] and work with them…"
This is subversion.

A furniture experiment that showcases the imagination of children.
'Children's Chairs' was a personal project that brought the imagination of kids to life, by turning their whimsical chair drawings into real life furniture.
Whilst at university a friend and I conducted an experiment in which a class of 7-8 year olds were given a piece of paper with the words, 'please draw a chair'. After a couple of hours and a lot of broken crayons, the children had designed their dream chair. With an overwhelming selection of amazing designs, we set ourselves the challenge of building two of our favorites. We eventually gave the chairs back to the kids as a memento of their brilliance.

Uganda dispatches another battle group to Somalia
The Uganda People's Defence Forces leadership has flagged-off another battle group to Somalia.
The 'Uganda Battle Group Twenty Six (UGBAG XXVI) at the Peace Support Operations Training Centre in Singo, Nakaseke District.
Gen David Muhoozi the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) said the group under the command of Col Toffa Magino will be deployed in Somalia with an intent of neutralizing Al-Shabaab threats and help restore peace and stability in the country.
He also urged them to ensure vigilance and maintain discipline during their mission to keep the Ugandan flag high.
He also rallied the soldiers to avoid negative propaganda and live up to their expectations since life in the mission area is not a picnic but a mission that demands hard work.
"Fighting Al-Shabaab is a manageable mission if soldiers work hard and stick to what they were trained. Stick to the rules of engagement," Gen. Muhoozi said adding that fighting in Somalia is not a picnic. Dose and Al-Shabaab will finish you."
The Chief of Staff Land Forces Brig Leopold Kyanda who represented the Commander Land Forces Maj Gen Peter Elwelu applauded the group for enduring the pre-mission training that he said will assist them while in Somalia.
Before their deployment, they underwent six months training in basic combat.
Uganda is the largest contributor to the mission, with more than 6,000 troops.
In July this year, UPDF also dispatched off Battle Group 25 with the responsibility of sustaining peace and stability in Somalia under the mandate of the African Union Mission in Somalia.
AMISOM peacekeeping mission in the Horn of African nation continues to be threatened by Al-Shabaab terrorists. In April this year, Uganda's army reported eight UPDF soldiers had been killed and six injured in an attack in Lower Shabelle.
The Al-Shabaab group has waged over ten-year insurgency to overthrow the weak UN, AMISOM-backed government and create an Islamic state in Somalia.
There have however been significant gains made with building the capacity of Somali security forces one of the top priorities.


I remember when I first starting getting online to search the internet or check my email, there was only one web browser to choose from. Well, at least that is what I thought. I had no idea that more than one browser existed and to tell you the truth, I didn't even know that it was called a web browser. A lot has changed since those days and not just the internet how to search it, but also what I know about searching for sites and information online.
The old web browser is long gone, or at least in my house, and now I always use Mozilla Firefox. Of course my operating system came with the default browser, but the only time I will use that is if a site I am visiting is not compatible with Firefox which rarely happens anymore. I really like using Mozilla better than any other browser because it gets me the information I need quickly.
I have found that if I do have to use another type of web browser, it will crash before I get to the right website. I really love the layout of the Firefox browser as well. It is much easier to use than any other web browser I have tried. Some of my friends, who are not as technically savvy as me, are not convinced that they should try Firefox and are happy with the old type of browser. I keep telling them they are missing out, but they just won't believe me. Maybe the next time their browser crashes, they will realize that they should have given Mozilla Firefox a chance.


Know your ways out, in a situation if there is a fire, it is best to not panic and know your way out. Make sure that there is always at least 2 places that you can quickly exit the building, and if possible make sure that all doors are closed when exiting the building to ensure that the fire has the least amount of oxygen as possible. It is also important to practice regular fire drills to know where to go in case of a fire.
Stop Drop and roll: If by some reason your clothes or something on your body catches on fire, stop, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands and roll. Doing this will cut a significant amount of air out of the flames and someone with a fire blanket will come and smother you with the fire blanket if stopping, dropping, and rolling does not work.
When getting a burn, it may blister, and whatever you do, do not pop the blister. New skin forms underneath the affected area and the fluid is absorbed. The fluid-filled blister keeps the underlying skin clean, which prevents infection and starts the healing process.
When taking something out the oven, always take the rack that the food is on completely out, and wear proper protective gloves such as oven mitts to take items out of the oven because if you use a towel or dishcloth, it may not be thick enough to protect you from the heat, and using oven mitts will ensure a good grip on whatever you are taking out of the oven.
When using any times of chemicals in and around the kitchen, you should always use proper protection such as gloves, masks or aprons to protect yourself from hazardous chemicals that can cause chemical burns if they come in contact with bare skin.
Never mix chemicals together, if you mix any chemicals together it may cause the chemicals to become too strong of a solution, or they may react to produce a toxic or deadly compound, for example, bleach is a highly reactive chemical that should never be mixed with other cleaners because it has the chance to create chlorine gas, and chlorine gas is used in chemical warfare.
Cleaning up spills immediately is the best way to prevent slipping in the kitchen. If someone was to spill something and not clean it immediately someone could walk by and slip and fall.
Keep the kitchen as clean as possible, closing cabinets and drawers when not in use or keep walkways free of debris like boxes or backpacks that someone could easily trip on out of the kitchen to avoid any tripping or falling in the kitchen.
Using "the claw" technique is an easy way to prevent cuts. When using the claw, your fingertips should rest on the top of what you're cutting. Your fingers should be perpendicular to the surface of the food, with your fingernails acting as a shield, using the claw technique will ensure that you have the most control over the thing that you are cutting.
When treating minor cuts in the kitchen, you should wash your hands with soap to prevent infection, then, wash the cut thoroughly with soap and water, use direct pressure to stop bleeding and apply a Band-Aid to the wound.
When lifting something heavy, do not attempt to lift by bending forward. Instead, bend your hips and knees to squat down to the thing you are lifting and keep it close to your body, then straighten your legs and lift.
When carrying a heavy item, keep your posture as best as possible, look straight ahead, keep your back straight, keep your chest out, and your shoulders back. This helps keep your upper back strong and straight while having an arch in your lower back.
The number one way to prevent food poisoning and cross-contamination is to always wash your hands, washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before and after handling any food such as raw meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables, you should also wash your hands after touching your face, garbage bin, going to the washroom or touching a pet.
Keeping raw meats separate is essential when preventing food poisoning, it is important to keep raw meat away from ready to eat foods such as vegetables, fruits, and bread for example. This is important because these foods will usually not be cooked before eating, and bacteria can get into them and the bacteria will not be killed in a cooking process.
Relying on reusable containers is a great way to prevent any waste, bringing jars or containers when shopping can reduce the use of plastic bags or any containers that we would usually throw away after every use.
Composting is a great method of reusing food parts that are not used in cooking, any part of raw vegetables can be composted, as well as stale bread, the skin of fruits, and eggshells can all be composted. The extra scraps are then broken down and are made into new soil that can be used for gardening and planting of new fruits and vegetables.
If wearing a band-aid, it is best to ensure that you wear disposable gloves over it because wearing a glove ensures that the band-aid will not fall into the food and the wound that the band-aid is protecting will not be worsened or any fluids from the wound will not go into the food.
Never chew gum while preparing or making food because when chewing gum, it creates more saliva that you may accidentally get into the food or the gum may drop into the food that you are preparing or making.

Start The Second Hundred RFCs with Josh Buskirk, Gypsy Nomads, ButtonFlies and More
June 7, 2010 / Rudy Panucci / 1 Comment
RFC 101 "Viewmaster Shirt" from Rudy Panucci on Vimeo.
Above you see the 101st episode of Radio Free Charleston, "Viewmaster Shirt." This episode of our show includes music from Josh Buskirk, The Gypsy Nomads and The ButtonFlies, plus a sequel from MURFMEEF and a trailer for the film, "Toxic Soup."
Our host segments were shot on a warm, windy Saturday afternoon in front of the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse on Virginia Street, for absolutely no reason other than the fact that we hadn't shot there yet. We're still so wiped out from the big double-sized 100th episode that we didn't put a lot of thought into our host location this time.
The music and film on the show is top-notch, though, so don't think we're slacking.
We kick the show off with a trailer for the film "Toxic Soup." Steve Fesenmaier wrote about the film, ""Toxic Soup" is a worthy successor to Mimi Pickering's landmark film, "Chemical Valley," returning this time to the connections between the chemical industry in West Virginia and the 1984 Bhopal Disaster, plus a whole lot more. It explores the disasterous effects of all the thousands of chemicals invented and used since WWII to make teflon in Parkersburg, and much more." You can read Steve's full article over at the WV Film Blog, here at the Gazette. We are glad to help bring some attention to this compelling documentary, and we'll let you know when the next local screenings happen.
Our first musical guest is our old friend Josh Buskirk. We've been featuring Josh on the show since episode 18, when we caught him at John Radcliff's house in our "Radio Free Parkersburg" episode. This time around, for the first time on RFC, you get to hear Josh sing! Instead of just getting to listen to Josh's virtuoso guitar playing, you'll get to hear him sing his arrangement of the traditional "Deep River Blues."
We recorded this tune at Taylor Books, and we hope to see Josh playing in Charleston more often.
MURFMEEF returns with a fleshed-out, more fully-realized version of his deeply moving song, "My Mouth Is full…."MURFMEEF has been racking up an amazing number of hits on his YouTube page lately, thanks to works of genius like this.
The Gypsy Nomads are a punk cabaret act who hail from New York City. A few weeks ago they opened for The Hellblinki Sextet at The Empty Glass, and though we hadn't planned to record both bands, I couldn't resist whipping out the Zi8 to grab at least one song by this great band.
"Yes I'm French" is an autobiographical song about singer, Samantha Stephenson and her adventures growing up French, in New Jersey. With her musical partner, Scott Helland, the two delivered an incredible set, and you can be sure that we'll be on hand with multiple cameras the next time they come through town. I'll also let you know when their upcoming DVD is released, right here in PopCult.
Closing out the show we have our old friends, The ButtonFlies. Working as a duo on this song, we caught them doing "Lil' Birdie," which you saw performed by the entire band back on RFC 63. This was recorded the night of Eamond Hardiman's "Porkchop" DVD release party at The Empty Glass, and in honor of the event, Andrea is wearing a porkchop bikini. If Dave was indulging in any pork-based undergarments, he wasn't telling anybody.
That's it for the behind-the-scenes notes on RFC 101. Be warned that our next show will be our third "show without words." Look for it in a week or two.

How Warriors' Jordan Poole is shooting way out of rookie-year slump
Logan Murdock
SAN FRANCISCO -- Jordan Poole found himself in unfamiliar territory Tuesday night.
Eight minutes into the third quarter, the Warriors' rookie guard received a pass from Draymond Green on the wing and drained a 3-pointer as he was fouled. In the commotion, Poole looked toward teammate Glenn Robinson and counted to four, mimicking Steph Curry's celebration.
The play epitomized Poole's current stretch. Following his 17-point performance in Tuesday's 124-97 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, he's shooting 43 percent from 3-point range over his last two games. He's momentarily erasing his shooting woes, exuding confidence along the way while following familiar advice.
"Coach Mike Brown just told me if I'm open shoot it," Poole said Tuesday. "I'm getting more opportunities, and I feel comfortable."
Poole's comfort has shown as of late. Over his last two games, he's averaging 15 points and he has made 43 percent of his 3-pointers.
His current stretch stands in stark contrast to the beginning of his rookie season. Through the first 29 games of the season, Poole made just 25.4 percent of his shots. The Warriors sent Poole to the G League to bust out of his extended slump and the plan worked, as Poole averaged nearly 26 points in three games with the Santa Cruz Warriors.
On Tuesday, he displayed the growth in his game. Nearly 10 minutes into the first quarter, he hit calmly hit a 3-pointer at the top of the key to cut Dallas' lead to seven. A minute later, he secured a screen from Willie Cauley-Stein and hit a runner in the lane to keep the Warriors within 11 points. h
Poole scored eight of his 17 points in the first half, nailing two 3-pointers and playing as his coach has envisioned since the start of the season.
"He just looks freer," Kerr said. "He had been pressing there for a while. In the last couple of games, he looks like he did at the beginning of the season. Just playing pretty loose and free, knocking down some shots like he's enjoying himself out there, so good to see the ball go in the hole for him."
As Poole struggled, his teammates encouraged. During Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers -- in the midst of a 2-for-7 performance -- Klay Thompson inspired him from the bench.
"All of them look good," he said, "Just keep shooting."
As Thompson encouraged Poole, Curry followed suit. When asked about his shooting slump, the rookie would look towards Curry's vacant locker and boast that even the greatest shooter in the world has a slump, using the comparison as motivation.
"A countless number of times when you have the two greatest shooters in NBA history telling you to shoot the ball, I don't think that that's normal so just being able to embrace that," Poole said. "That gives you a different sense of urgency and appreciation."
While his coach notices a change in his play, Poole doesn't see a change in his mindset. Two months ago, when asked about his poor shooting, the rookie quickly dismissed any notion of stopping.
"Doing that got me here," he said at the time. "Why would I change?"
Following Tuesday's game, he offered similar reasoning.
"I don't think my confidence is a thing," he said. "I feel like my confidence has been the same. it's just an opportunity being opened. I don't think confidence has been a thing. I've just continued to do the same things that I've been doing. I haven't changed anything since the beginning of the season."
[RELATED: Warriors paying steep price for a better tomorrow]
While Poole's approach hasn't changed, his results have. That was only a matter of time, according to Kerr.
"I think is all part of his rookie season for anybody," Kerr said. "The ups the downs, and he's getting better."

I'm not vegetarian, but I always hear from my friends who are that one of their biggest challenges is traveling, since it means they have to eat out often. For those that can't rent an apartment or stay with friends/family (and so for whom eating in isn't an option), VegOut should make eating out a much easier task. It's powered by HappyCow (which we featured before as website of the week) and provides you with the world's largest international listing of vegan, vegetarian and vegetarian-friendly restaurants at your finger tips.

A woman walks past a Golem costume of the Malenki Theater in Tel Aviv as she arrives for a press presentation for the "Golem" exhibition at the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany, Sept. 22, 2016.
BERLIN — A gigantic golem made out of wooden Hebrew letters lies motionless on the ground, yet it seems as if only a few magic whispers are needed to bring the creature to life.
The sculpture, created by California artist Joshua Abarbanel, is one of 250 objects on display at the new "Golem" show in the Jewish Museum Berlin, which approaches the legend in diverse and unconventional ways.
First mentioned in ancient Jewish texts, a golem is an artificial being made from mud or other inanimate material that's brought to life through the power of Hebrew letters. It became popular and known outside Judaism in a famous story about the sixteenth-century Rabbi Judah Loew who is said to have created a golem out of clay in the hope it would help protect the Jews of Prague from persecution.
However, the golem has a dark side, too. It often spins out of control and its superhuman powers can become a threat to the one who created it.
The exhibition, which opens Sept. 23 and runs through Jan. 29, shows both traditional images of the golem and modern-day incarnations.
There are medieval instructions explaining how to use incantations, rituals and specific Hebrew letter combinations to bring the golem to life. There are also videos, costumes and installations presenting different interpretations of the golem by 30 contemporary artists from Israel, the United States and elsewhere.
Jorge Gil from Spain created an installation of three creatures in plush, yellow cocoons hanging head down from the ceiling. Only their faces, made of mannequin dolls, are visible, but a fourth empty cocoon lying on the floor suggests that the stiff puppets are about to metamorphose and come to life as well.
The installation "My light is your life" by Czech artist Kristof Kintera is more than four meters (13 feet) tall, made of dozens of bulbs and lamps and endless black cords that in its entirety appear as a "breathing light' sculpture with arms, legs and a round head topped by a halo.
And then there are comics, cartoons and video game stations. They show how the golem developed over time into a figure of pop culture: both as a superhero and a monster, reminiscent of Superman, King Kong or Minecraft monsters.
Beyond that, the golem has also become a metaphor for modern scientific and political developments that threaten to get out of control.
In one gallery there are photos titled 'Human Version 2.0″ by French artist Yves Gellis that show robot laboratories around the world depicting creators next to their eerily similar robot doppelgangers.

Q: Does this Root Locus analysis contradict my understanding of Nyquist stability criteria? I have been trying to theoretically analyse the operation of a 741 op-amp from a stability point of view by firstly deriving its open-loop transfer function.
Here is the magnitude plot of a 741 op-amp.

From the above plot, I generated the open-loop transfer function.

From the open-loop transfer function I have derived the closed-loop transfer function and to keep things simple I have assumed that the op-amp is configured as a unity gain buffer ( β = H(s) = 1 ).

\$\$
Now, the Root Locus method plots the loci of the closed-loop poles on the s plane as some parameter is varied from 0 to infinity. I vary the dc open-loop gain k which is set to 100000 for the 741. The values of the poles at various values of dc open-loop gain can be found by equating the denominator of the closed-loop transfer function (the characteristic equation) to zero and solving for s. That is to say, the roots of the characteristic equation are equal to the poles of the closed-loop transfer function.
Here is the characteristic equation which is equated to zero.

By entering a range of values for k into the above equation and solving for s using the following equation….

….I get the pole plot below on the s plane. The arrows represent increasing k values. I'm pretty confident about this plot because I have seen the same plot for a second-order system on various web sites.

My problem is this. I know from fig.1 above and from Nyquist stability criteria that increasing the dc open-loop gain will reduce gain and phase margins. As open-loop gain k increases, the loop gain will get down to unity at a higher frequency where the loop phase lag is nearer -180ᴼ thereby reducing stability margins and moving the op-amp closer to oscillation. (The phase lag should never quite reach -180ᴼ because this is a theoretical 2 pole amplifier). Why then doesn't the root locus plot converge on the imaginary axis on the s plane as the dc open-loop gain k is increased. The plot is vertical. I think I am misunderstanding something.

A: The only thing you're misunderstanding is that those vertical root loci do, in fact, imply and ever-diminishing phase margin.  They're describing a system that goes resonant, with a Q that increases (or \$\zeta\$ that decreases) as the gain goes up.
That increasing Q is indicative of ever-diminishing margins.
(And just to note, even though you seem to understand this already: the real circuit has more poles, off to the left of the one at 1MHz.  In the root-locus view those poles will push the locus to the right, because root loci tend to go away from poles and toward zeros; that would make the system unstable.  In the Bode-plot view, of course, those poles would add more phase shift; that's just a different view of the same phenomenon.)

Spadaro: Nick Sirianni sheds light on what makes this team special
Eagles Insider Dave Spadaro
As the NFL playoffs begin with Super Wild Card Weekend and we all stuff our days and nights with football watching, some news and notes from the Eagles as they finished up their week. It was a great week, from all accounts. Quarterback Jalen Hurts is on the practice field slinging it and progressing from his shoulder injury and extremely confident about what's ahead. Defensive end Josh Sweat says he is "absolutely" going to be on the field when the postseason begins. Offensive tackle Lane Johnson took part in Friday's practice and is aiming for a return to the lineup next weekend.
All wonderful, encouraging pieces of news as the Eagles – everyone, and that means everyone – take the weekend off. Anyway, here are some notes to chew on as the postseason begins ...
1. Head Coach Nick Sirianni dropped into the studio at the NovaCare Complex on Friday after practice and I asked him, among other things, how he feels about this team as it heads into the playoffs.
"This is a great, special group of guys that are close together, that want to win for each other, that want to play good for each other," Sirianni said. "That's what makes you feel good. That's what makes you feel good – the talent we have on this team, the guys we have on this team, the work that we got this week. I definitely see that as an advantage. Everyone is fighting for their football lives this week; we get to watch it.
"We've had a chance to watch what we did all season and we'll fix some of the things we did and all of those different things. It's an advantage and it's an advantage to be able to play at home and so we feel really good. We had a good couple of days of preparation this week and I look forward to next week when we're in preparation for our next opponent."
2. Will they watch football this weekend? "Of course," Sirianni said. Linebacker Kyzir White is going to make it a mission to couch-potato it as much as possible with his family. Running back Miles Sanders will check in "maybe a little bit." Wide receiver A.J. Brown will "watch a couple of different games, but not all weekend." Defensive tackle Jordan Davis is going to "watch some here and there, but I don't want to get too deep into it because then I start watching it like I'm studying it." Center Jason Kelce is going to be as "all in as possible," but there are two games on Saturday and three games on Sunday plus the Monday night game and, hey, the guys deserve to spend this weekend any way they want.
"We're not working, we get to relax and that's the important thing," White said. "It's the mental break that is going to be so nice. We'll get back here next week refreshed and ready to go."
3. Davis has played well in his rookie season and could be a significant factor for the Eagles in the playoffs as part of the very deep defensive tackle rotation. He was part of the University of Georgia's National Championship Team last season and played in the Southeast Conference, so there is no higher quality of college football in the land. The NFL playoffs, however, will be a new experience and Davis has heard others tell him there is a jump from the regular season to the postseason.
"Everybody is telling me it's going to be faster," he said. "There is a lot riding on the games – it's win or go home – and there is a lot of emotion going into, too. But at the end of the day I'm excited about it. I'm ready. I know all the guys are ready. We've been preparing. This week, we've been working on ourselves. That's the biggest thing."
4. Six Eagles were named to the AP All-Pro Team in a vote of 50 sportswriters and broadcasters nationwide. Two were first-team All-Pro – center Jason Kelce and right tackle Lane Johnson – and four more were named to the second team – cornerback James Bradberry, wide receiver A.J. Brown, quarterback Jalen Hurts, and linebacker Haason Reddick. This is Kelce's fifth All-Pro selection and only two other centers have been All-Pro five times since the 1970 NFL merger – Pittsburgh's Mike Webster (5 times) and Dermontti Dawson (6 times). Both Webster and Dawson are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Kelce's chances are very, very strong someday, but he sure is playing at the top of his game.
5. Johnson talked about returning to the practice field as well as his third All-Pro selection (to go along with four Pro Bowls) in the locker room.
On the All-Pro: "It's something you always strive for when you play. A lot goes into it. Obviously, having a great team around me, a great guard (Isaac Seumalo) next to me, great teammates, it all goes together. As you get older, your sense of urgency increases, so I'm happy."
On returning to practice: "It felt good. The goal was just to keep testing it and progressing it. I made a lot of progress this week. Looking to have a regular week next week and see how I feel."
Johnson said his progress is "encouraging" and he feels "a lot more confident" about his chances to play. He recognizes how special this season has been and the very real chance the Eagles have to do something in the postseason, and that's why he decided to pursue rehabilitation to heal the groin injury.
"I'm excited to be out there and feeling good," he said. "We'll see how it goes from here. Today was a good day for me. I just want to keep progressing."
6. The depth of this roster is incredible and Howie Roseman and his personnel staff deserve so much credit for making it all happen, and the coaches deserve kudos for putting the players in the right position to make plays and, of course, the players deserve a ton of credit. Two Eagles signed as unrestricted free agents – Reddick and Bradberry – made the All-Pro Team for the first time, understanding immediately that they made the right decisions and now further validating those moves.
"I'm extremely grateful and appreciative," Reddick said. "Finally being recognized, I'm taking these victories as they come. I'm not in the least satisfied, but it is gratifying. It's a team thing and that's what is important, but the individual recognition is nice and I'm going to build on these things."
Added Bradberry: "It feels great. I wouldn't be able to get the accolade without my teammates, especially the front seven. They pretty much dominated, and they made my life a lot easier. I've tried to be consistent and I feel I've had that kind of season. We have more games to play, so that's my focus, but this is a great honor and I'm proud of it."

Porcelain veneers are a highly utilized and versatile tool in a cosmetic dentist's toolbox. These tiny pieces of porcelain are bonded to the front of imperfect teeth, where flaws are most noticeable, to transform their appearance. In this post, San Francisco cosmetic dentist Dr. Samir Ayoub discusses some of the many ways that he can make over a smile using porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are a fantastic way to conceal minor surface damage to the teeth. If you were to chip one of your front teeth biting into something hard, or slightly crack a tooth in an accident, porcelain veneers could be placed over the tooth to hide the damage. The veneer also helps protect the chipped or cracked tooth from the damage spreading.
Some teeth develop stains that don't respond to teeth whitening treatment. If that is the case, you can opt to simply cover the tooth with a veneer so it looks whiter and brighter. Veneers can camouflage other flaws, like crooked teeth, alignment problems or uneven tooth edges.
Another common use for veneers is to create uniformity between the teeth that show when smiling. Perhaps you have one or two teeth that don't match your surrounding teeth in shape, size or color. Or maybe as a result of nighttime grinding, some of your teeth look shorter than the rest. Dr. Ayoub can place customized veneers over specific teeth to create greater harmony and balance in your smile.
Veneers are also a great way to close noticeable gaps between the front teeth. Bonding is often recommended to hide gaps, but veneers normally last longer. The veneers are created to slightly widen or elongate teeth, closing tiny spaces.
Porcelain veneers are created in dental laboratories from high-quality blocks of porcelain. Your veneers will be carefully fabricated to blend in with your natural teeth for a seamless result.
For more information about the uses for veneers and the design and placement process, please book a consultation with Dr. Ayoub. Call or email us today at San Francisco Aesthetic Dentistry to make your appointment.

My observation went for more than an hour and turn by turn she served foot massage to people hanging around there. My meaning making machine thought and asked a question. She was erasing pain of all foreigners but who would erase her pain of arms and mind. I went to road side for a foot massage and she offered her service at 100 Batt. "Okay", I said and I also offered my free foot massage service to her paying 100 Batt for her service too. She agreed and after my foot massage. With her permission, I started foot massage.

There's something special about a summer trip in Europe — the air is sweet, the days are longer, and it seems wherever you go, the atmosphere is buzzing. With a suitcase in hand, the packing begins and often I look no further than a few easy dresses. Days at the beach, afternoons at cafes, and morning strolls are staples of a summer trip in Europe.
I find clothes that can be mixed and matched are ideal for packing a suitcase that isn't spilling over — as we all know it's hard to resist shopping in Europe. With a few staples, those fun tops for a night out, and the simple dress does just fine for a great summer trip in Europe.
This time of year in Europe tends to run hot, hot, hot. Picture flowy pants like this, or a midi-skirt that can pair well with a number of tops. I always throw in one pair of denim, like a white or ankle-cut for an evening occasion. During the day, I stick to denim or linen shorts.
Running on the theme of a hot summer, an easy off-the-shoulder top is my ultimate European top. I always pack a few t-shirts, two to three loose tanks, and you can never forget a light blouse to throw over.
Nothing says summer like a flowery-print dress, this one or this maxi is the ultimate one to toss in the suitcase. A few easy dresses like this one or this, make for an easy day to night look. I always pack a romper as well.
There's the basics to a Europe trip, and one that cannot be overlooked is a good walking shoe. I edge towards a white sneaker that can pair with shorts. I always have a pair of sandals, often two like this or this. My favorite summer shoe is an espadrille in the form of a flat and a wedge.
The first accessory in the bag is always a pair of sunglasses that will pair with just about everything, like these black Ray-Bans or these. A straw-summer hat is also in order for the sunnier days and to match, a straw bag for those trips to the farmer's market. For when it's time to walk around town, I love this little backpack to stash a camera and necessities.
I always travel with my camera and 35 mm lens. I would recommend bringing a Kindle for an afternoon read, an extra SD card, a camera cleaning kit (<$10) for on the go, an extra battery pack for your phone, and extra batteries for your camera.

We've all heard the old adage, "work hard, play hard." For students, this means that in between science labs and book reports, physical activity is an important part of the school day. Recess allows kids to express themselves freely in play and take a break from structured schedules. One consideration parents can take to ensure their children's playtime is as safe as possible is to be aware of playground injuries and safety measures.
Daniel Imler, MD, Assistant Professor and Assistant Medical Director at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford Pediatric Emergency Room shares his insight.
Q: What are some common injuries from playground accidents?
Dr. Imler: Common injuries from playgrounds include fractures, head injuries, and lacerations. Falls are the most common accidents.
Q: How does Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford Pediatric Emergency Room treat these injuries?
Dr. Imler: Every treatment is tailored to each patient and family. Common treatments for an arm fracture include reductions or surgery. Our Emergency Department strives to be an Ouchless ED and pain control is of the upmost importance to us. We use numbing cream, medicines through an IV, or even medicine sprayed into the nostrils. We work with our orthopedic colleagues to determine the best therapy that might be needed.
Other injuries from playgrounds include traumatic brain injuries. Many of the children coming to the ED are being considered between minor head trauma, concussion, and serious head injuries (intracranial bleeding and skull fractures). The primary way we can see if there is a severe injury is to do a CT scan. However, as CTs have associated radiation, we use the history of the fall and the current symptoms of the patient to determine whether a CT is necessary in identifying a severe head injury.
Q: On average how many injuries do you see from playgrounds?
Dr. Imler: In the summer, we see several injuries per day from playground falls. It's one of the most common sources of trauma in the pediatric ED.
Q: What are a few safe practices that parents can follow?
Dr. Imler: As a parent or caregiver you can check the guidelines posted on the playground to ensure it is developed for your child's age. Another safety measure you can take is to ensure there is soft material such as rubber paving, sand, or wood shavings under the structures. It is very important that children wear proper clothing on play structures. Super hero capes and necklaces should be left in the car to ensure there is nothing around your child's neck. Children can also be reminded to walk while on the structures and not to jump off high areas. If you would like to look at detailed guidelines for playground safety the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has advice for home and public structures.

This volume addresses the life history of an "unsuccessful" Mexican religious community, La Purísima Concepción in San Miguel el Grande, from its eighteenth-century origins to its suppression by the liberals in 1863. The work was made possible by the author's serendipitous discovery of a wealth of documentation regarding this convent that had been misfiled in the archives of the Archdiocese of Michoacán. These materials detailed the saga of two "rebellions" occurring during the convent's early decades. The letters, interrogatories, interviews, and official reports of these conflicts, along with more standard sources like documents of profession and account books, form the documentary base for the book.
San Miguel el Grande's first convent, La Purísima Concepción, was established in 1752 with an endowment from the teenaged heiress María Josepha Lina, who also became its first novice. In 1756, four nuns from the Conceptionist Convent of Regina Coeli in Mexico City arrived to...

Don't Tell My Wife Stables
Don't Tell My Wife Stables was formed to allow individuals the opportunity to participate in affordable thoroughbred ownership and introduce them to the pageantry, thrills and excitement that thoroughbred racing brings.
We are headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, and have brought over 75 new member owners to the industry. We compete at racetracks such as Del Mar, Santa Anita Park, Keeneland, Churchill Downs, Fair Grounds, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race Course.
Our full time trainer and bloodstock agent is J. Keith Desormeaux, who has successfully selected and trained thoroughbreds for over 25 years, including 2016 Preakness Stakes Champion Exaggerator, 2018 Kentucky Derby colt, My Boy Jack, Grade 1 colt, Swipe, Grade 1 winning filly, Decked Out, Grade 1 filly Danette, 2014 Breeders Cup Juvenile Champion Texas Red, and many other Stakes winners. Keith is a true old school horseman who is extremely talented, honest, always puts the horse first, and gives his horses the best care and training possible.
Our team has over 50 years' experience in the racing business, we invest our own money in all LLC partnerships, and we are committed to excellence, integrity, and being responsible owners.
Yearling & 2 year old partnerships - we buy yearlings at Keeneland or 2 year olds in training at the Ocala Breeders Sale that have the pedigree and physical confirmation to compete at the highest levels of racing. We then campaign them in their 2 year old year of racing and beyond. Capitalization is typically in the $300,000 to $400,000 range and expenses are paid by each LLC. Past experience has proven you can acquire high quality racing prospects at this level that have the potential to compete on the bigger stage.
Our goal is to win races, have fun, make a profit, and provide the best ownership experience that racing has to offer.
Our mission is to bring people together and provide an honest and integrity driven family environment that enhances the horse ownership experience.

Louisiana College Student, 19, Allegedly Raped and Then Fatally Struck by Car – 4 Suspects Arrested
Four young men have been arrested after a Louisiana State University student was allegedly raped in a car and then left on foot in a housing subdivision, where she was later fatally hit by a car just before 3 a.m. on Jan. 15.
Madison Brooks, 19, met the four while drinking at a Baton Rouge bar called Reggie's, which describes itself on Google as "catering to LSU students with regular drinks specials & DJs spinning tunes."
Police said two of the young men raped Brooks in the back seat of a car after she asked them for a ride home, The Advocate reported.
BREAKING: Deputies arrest 4 in LSU student Madison Brooks case: https://t.co/ktlafxQpgm pic.twitter.com/5hGcNXmiZJ
— WAFB (@WAFB) January 23, 2023
Those two, 18-year-old Kaivon Washington and a 17-year-old who was not named because he is a minor, were arrested on charges of third-degree rape, the news outlet reported.
The other two told police they sat in the front seat of the car during the alleged sexual attack on Brooks. They were identified as Casen Carver, 18, and Everette Lee, 28, who were reportedly arrested on related charges of principal to third-degree rape.
Louisiana state law defines third-degree rape as occurring when the victim is "incapable of resisting or of understanding the nature of the act" due to an "intoxicating agent." The offense carries a penalty of up to 25 years imprisonment.
"Surveillance footage and interviews with the suspects showed that she was obviously intoxicated when she left" the bar, according to The Advocate.
The 17-year-old turned himself in to police Sunday and the other three turned themselves in on Monday, according to the report.
Ron Haley, an attorney representing two of the suspects, said his clients have been unfairly charged, according to WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge.
Haley called the activity that occurred with Brooks "consensual sexual acts."
"Absolutely not a rape," he told the news outlet. "This is a tragedy, [but] definitely not a crime."
Haley said there was video taken during the encounter that proves his case.
"Can you tell that she was intoxicated? Yes," Haley said. "To the point under the law that you say you're in a drunken stupor, to the point that you cannot lawfully give consent or answer questions? Absolutely that was not the case."
According to The Advocate, police said Brooks blood alcohol content was .319, "nearly four times the legal limit to drive and enough to give someone alcohol poisoning and render them unconscious."
The Advocate also reported that when Carver was asked by detectives if he thought Brooks was too drunk to consent, he responded, "I guess."

Haley also said his clients did not force Brooks out of the car.
"Based on a disagreement, she got out of the vehicle," Haley told WAFB. "She indicated she was getting an Uber.
"I want the public to know that these young men, or really, the driver of the vehicle and the young men that were in there, did not put her off on the side of the road," said Haley.
Brooks was standing in the middle of a road when she was hit by a car at about 3 a.m., WAFB reported.
"Haley believes the video will acquit his clients fully, and the real blame needs to be on the bars selling to underage drinkers," WAFB reported.
LSU President William Tate IV called for action on underage drinking, according to The Advocate.
"Tate said it was time for 'our collective grief and outrage' [over Brooks' death] to lead to action on underage drinking by the university and the Baton Rouge business community," the outlet reported, adding that the campus community "has faced enormous scrutiny over alcohol-related deaths and sexual assault and harassment."
