Last night, BMI celebrated the songwriters, producers and publishers of the year's most-performed R&B/hip-hop songs during the 2017 BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards held at The Woodruff Arts Center's Symphony Hall in Atlanta. Multiple GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Patti LaBelle took home the night's highest honor as BMI Icon in recognition of her distinguished career, spanning more than 50 years.
The second half of the evening featured an array of outstanding tribute performances honoring Patti LaBelle beginning with BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music honoree, BeBe Winans singing his beautiful version of Ms. LaBelle's number one single duet with Michael McDonald, "On My Own." Next up, Avery Sunshine gave a moving rendition of "Love, Need and Want You." The tributes continued with Gospel vocalist Kierra Sheard's powerful performance of "When You've Been Blessed," followed by Tasha Cobbs-Leonard singing the classic hit, "You Are My Friend." Sheard joined Cobbs-Leonard to finish the song, and together they brought the crowd to their feet. Closing out the night, GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Ledisi gave an energetic performance of the massive classic hit, "Lady Marmalade" before calling Ms. LaBelle to the stage where she gave an impromptu performance of "Over the Rainbow" and thanked those who paid tribute to her throughout the evening.
The show also honored the songwriters of the 35 best-performing R&B/Hip-Hop songs in the U.S. from BMI's repertoire of over 12 million musical works. Metro Boomin took home the Producer of the Year award for the second year in a row and the coveted Song of the Year honor went to "Me, Myself & I" written by Tom Barnes, Lauren Christy, Michael Keenan and Bebe Rexha. Universal Music Publishing Group claimed Publisher of the Year and hitmakers Future, DJ Khaled and Rihanna tied for Songwriter of the Year.
As a BMI Icon, Ms. LaBelle joined an elite group of songwriters who have received BMI's Icon Award for their "unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers." Previous recipients include Nile Rodgers, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, James Brown, Al Green and Snoop Dogg, among others.
The event was sponsored by the Swisher Sweets Artist Project, which increases awareness and exposure for emerging musical talent.

Completion of the Sapling MPC
Sean Bowe |
Zcash's next major upgrade, codenamed Sapling, will be activated later this year. One of our final goals before activation is the completion of a multi-party computation ceremony which produces the public parameters that our shielded transactions depend on.
We're happy to announce the completion of this ceremony! In total, nearly 200 people contributed either directly to the ceremony or to its development, coordination and review. We're including the final parameters in our 2.0.0 release of Zcash later this week.
Images from three Powers of Tau participants: (from left) Neal Jayu, Hudson Jameson and Andrew Miller and Ryan Pierce
Zcash's underlying zero-knowledge proofs require some system parameters to be constructed. If these parameters are compromised, an adversary could create counterfeit Zcash coins. In our original launch of Zcash, we defended against this by deploying a multi-party computation protocol. The protocol has the property that only one of its participants must be honest in order for the final parameters to be secure.
In the original ceremony, we only had six participants due to scalability issues of the protocol. In addition, due to the sensitivity of the process to protocol aborts, participants did not apply a wide diversity of individual countermeasures to defend against compromise.
Last year, we published a new protocol for constructing the parameters which is designed to scale to a large number of participants. Unlike the original protocol, a participant can contribute to the ceremony at any time, and they do not need to be in custody of secrets during the entire duration of the ceremony.
Additionally, the new protocol is split into two pieces: a circuit-agnostic phase called the Powers of Tau, and a circuit-specific phase that we announced several months ago. This allows the broader public to take advantage of the parameters we produced in order to build their own zk-SNARK protocols with scalable MPCs.
Powers of Tau
The Zcash Foundation facilitated and hosted the Powers of Tau ceremony, which took place between November 2017 and April 2018. It accepted 87 contributions from cryptographers and members of the community. Only one of these contributions needs to be honestly constructed for the parameters in this phase to be secure.
The diversity of this ceremony was significant. Participants used a wide variety of hardware and operating systems, and many destroyed their hardware afterward. Anyone was allowed to participate either by asking directly or publicly requesting to participate via a mailing list.
Most of the participants wrote about their experience and the unique countermeasures they deployed. Andrew Miller and Ryan Pierce famously flew in a plane with radioactive material to seed their random number generator. Filippo Valsorda wrote an independent implementation of the ceremony code in Go. Devrandom developed a trusted build environment for the Rust code.
You can read more about this ceremony here, along with instructions for how to verify its results.
Sapling MPC
The Zcash Company hosted the MPC for constructing Sapling's final zk-SNARK parameters. We announced the ceremony in May and accepted contributions through early August. In all, this ceremony accepted over 90 contributions, of which only one must be honestly constructed for the success of this phase.
The final parameters are now available here. You can verify the parameters using the verify utility in the sapling-mpc repository. Just as in the Powers of Tau ceremony, we applied a random beacon which you can read about in the zapps-wg mailing list.
All of the participants can run this verifier and check that it outputs a hash that their software produced when they contributed to the ceremony. This allows them to confirm that the final parameters include their contribution. These hashes are also listed, along with the participants, here.
We're now ready to move ahead with the Sapling upgrade. The parameters produced by these ceremonies are historic: The Powers of Tau and the Sapling MPC are the largest multi-party computations ever performed.
We'd like to thank the community for participating and improving the quality and security of Zcash and all protocols that build on top of zk-SNARKs.
We'd also like to thank Jason Davies and Ian Munoz for their efforts in coordinating the ceremonies, and the Zcash Foundation for hosting the Powers of Tau.

I am saddened for the historical loss. As for donations, there's far better and needier causes to be focused on. The Catholic Church is definitely one of the wealthiest organizations from anywhere between $15-30 billion net worth. That, ontop of whatever insurance will provide, should have any and all restorative plans covered.

Well it does say OBO . Maybe it's one of those situations where the party said "I'll try and sell them"
That's correct assuming you have a stock setup.
In the process of upgrading my heresys. Is there a general preferred way of attaching the egg-crate inside the cabs?
Thank you for the prompt and informative reply Dean!
Looking at a used 16ohm BMS4592ND. Readouts equal 8.9 & 6.8 on the multimeter. I'm assuming that means it's been abused a bit...and need new diaphragms? Should it be passed on purchasing? Thanks!
Not mine in anyway, but did I say they were "custom" pending reserve. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Klipschorn-K-horn-Pair-of-Speakers/273764478180?hash=item3fbda26ce4:g:kbcAAOSwfHBcjSCq&frcectupt=true The rear pictures appear that they still utilized the K400/01 factory horn, but perhaps veneered the interior.

Can anyone put me in touch with @colterphoto1? Seems he's been on walkabout since Oct. Having my coffee right now, so I deem this appropriate for this thread. Thanks!

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia
Paul Saenger, Zoi Klonari, Stephen Matthew Black, Cyril A.L. Abram, Nathalie Compagnone, Synthia H. Mellon, Stephen M. Black, Walter L. Miller, Cedric H.L. Shackelton
Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (lipoid CAH) is a rare genetic disorder of adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis of unknown cause in which cholesterol cannot be converted to pregnenolone. As a result, affected individuals can make no steroid hormones, so that all affected newborns are phenotypic females, irrespective of karyotype. We studied two pregnancies in a family with two previously affected children by examining fetal karyotype, genital ultrasonography, and amniotic fluid steroid concentrations and by performing ACTH tests on family members. Prenatal diagnosis correctly identified both an unaffected XX fetus and an affected XY fetus. In the affected pregnancy, amniotic fluid concentrations of progesterone and pregnenolone were 30% and 50% of normal, respectively, but concentrations of 17 alpha-hydroxypregnenolone, 17 α-hydroxyprogesterone, cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, androstenedione, and estriol were either extremely low or undetectable, suggesting that these detected steroids were donated by maternal steroidogenesis. Fetal cord blood obtained at the termination of pregnancy showed very low concentrations of estrogens donated by the mother's circulation. Absent fetal steroidogenesis was confirmed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry of both fetal and maternal serum. The responses of 10 different steroids to adrenal stimulation with ACTH in the obligately heterozygous parents were normal. Thus, unlike the case with other forms of CAH, heterozygosity cannot be determined by hormonal responses to provocative testing with ACTH. Immunocytochemistry and Western blotting showed that the affected placental tissue contained P450scc protein, confirming that P450scc is intact in these patients.

Review of the effectiveness of the waste disposal levy, 2014
Publication reference number: ME 1159
This report presents the findings of the second review of the effectiveness of the waste disposal levy.
The review focused on whether the levy is being applied fairly and correctly, and how to ensure a level playing field for those paying the levy. Another priority of the review was to assess the impact that levy funding is having.
The review found:
more and better data is needed to measure the impact the levy is having on waste minimisation
data that is available indicates that the levy is currently only applied to an estimated 30 per cent of total waste disposed of to land
changes should be investigated to ensure the levy is applied to a greater proportion of waste being disposed of to land and to ensure that issues of interpretation are clarified. Such changes will ensure a level playing field for those paying the levy
the processes around collecting and distributing levy revenue appear to be effective
levy funding has supported a broad range of waste minimisation initiatives. More could be done to ensure funding is directed towards strategic priorities and that funding outcomes are being effectively measured and monitored.
The review has made 11 recommendations to improve the waste disposal levy.

As a compassionate owner, you strive to keep your workers happy, safe, and financially secure. You and your fellow executives have been toying with the idea of introducing a business life insurance package. But you are not sure how to begin, and you want to guarantee that any program you initiate pays you back in terms of better employee satisfaction and more complete coverage. This article can introduce you to some key concepts -- and expose some common traps -- so you can maximize your investment dollar.
Business Life Insurance: Why Get It?
Getting life coverage through your company can be cheaper. You face fewer administrative expenses and gain tax advantages. Adding a business life insurance option incentivizes employees and appeals to prospective workers who may be weighing your benefits package against a competitor's. Most plans do not require employees to take medical exams to quality. And you may get a discount if you buy life and health from the same carrier. Talk to an agent about how to get this multi-policy discount. The fewer insurance companies you have to deal with, the easier it will be logistically if/when you or your employees make claims.
The biggest complication is that adding insurance means that you add another expense to your ledger. The rules governing limits, exclusions, and timeframes can also be confusing -- you may need to spend some time with your agent going over the coverage. In addition, business life insurance is not a panacea. You will still need other coverage -- most critically, liability and property insurance. Your rates can increase following an accident, such as an on-plant disaster or auto crash that results in the death of one of your employees. And business life insurance coverage may be prohibitively expensive for people in some lines of work -- such as mining or industries centered around toxic chemicals or explosives.
Foremost, focus on safety and training for your employees and for yourself). Comply with laws and with industry norms -- go above and beyond these minimum standards if possible. Make decisions grounded in statistics. Look to leaders in your industry as well as to creditable insurance agents for tips. And review your coverage on a regular basis -- annually, if not sooner. Definitely take a look at all of your business insurance protection after major events, such as a merger or an onsite accident.
Look to NetQuote, a reliable online service, to drum up 5+ business insurance quotes collected from a pool of a 100+ nationwide carriers. NetQuote can simplify the shopping experience -- and save you lots of time as well.


We haven't heard from her in a few months (see previous posts here, here and here). Regular readers know that she is a young Somali woman who has shed some light on the mindset of Somali refugees she says are here to conquer us. I welcome her return if not her warning.
This is a comment worth noting in response to my post of last Friday where I said that Somali family reunification is about to be re-opened by the US State Department after a nearly two year moratorium that resulted from the discovery of widespread immigration fraud in the so-called P-3 program.
Of course this is a famous and classic lie of Somalis. This [lying about family relationships] has existed and was invented in the first refugee camps in Kenya to go to the U.S, Canada, Europe and elsewhere. Though the discovery was almost 20 yrs later it`s way too late. Somalis might even go as far as claiming that their uncle or brother or cousin that they are married and have family in America and have kids together which is totally a lie. I remember two Somali women claimed that they were Lesbians in Canada and married even though none were just to get a gigantic mansion. The two women were either cousins or best friends and one of them had a husband.
They are using you guys and you need to wake. This is very dangerous and its getting dangerous by the minute. Somalis invented a proverb a 130 yrs ago when the Europeans invaded Somalia in the 1800`s and in their fierce 22 yr long resistance to Britain, Italy, and Ethiopia, and this proverb is so chilling and it is still taught today: " Only the weak man, seeks help from the European". This means that they are lying and deceiving the European. A book was also written in the 1800`s called "The Betrayal of the Somalis by Luis Fitz Gibbon which shows that the Somalis merely were using and deceiving the Europeans all along, and didn`t even care if they were trying to bring civility to Somalia. Another proverb is "You can use and learn from the European, but he will never satisfy a Somali". This means that a huge storm is coming to Small Town America.
Mayfield, Kentucky perhaps? Lewiston, Maine? Shelbyville, Tennessee? Ft. Morgan, Colorado? Jamestown, North Dakota? Lexington, Nebraska? St. Cloud, Minnesota? Garden City, Kansas? Tuulas all!
For new readers: We have admitted well over 100,000 Somali refugees to the US. To check out the numbers visit this post, probably our most widely read post over the last few years. In FY2010 the US State Department resettled 3,507 Somalis (as of July 31st) to towns near you.
ms Ann are u somali? or i think u have [foul language deleted] who is somali?
am somali and i never heard those proverbs they are not even there? i asked my granddad and he loved at me where did this proverbs come from? infact somalis among themselves say somalis tell lie but didn't proverb on lies. so where's this fake proverbs coming from who said this are somali proverbs? plz come with some proof here? this doesn't make sense. either the story of khadra is amasing instead hersi ali could have been better example? who the hell is this khadra? and where did she drop in? hmhmhmhmhmh sorry for u mom?
come up with some interesting stories i lyk ur radical stories.
Khadra is an imaginary friend of mrs Ann! I bet she doesn't exist at all ! It is way to spice up the story to make look like real source!
If she is real perom which I doubt it she probably looking for jiob as informant In DHS just like ayan hersi ali who fabricated her story being raped and circumcised whe she was 10 years old so the dutch liberals would accept her asylum case. But that didn't worked out well for her,and I hope American enterprise institute would fire her ASAP.
Interesting that in all the land of the wide, wide internet, only this post comes up if you google Khadra's supposed infamous proverbs. Suspicious. Somalis and folks in the diaspora use the internet, frequently in English, yet somehow there is no trace of these "famous proverbs" anywhere besides RRW. No worries, I'll check in with some Somali people IN REAL LIFE tomorrow (hey guess what! They actually are real people who you can converse with, rather than just blithering about on a blog).
Any serious person knows that British colonialism was never about "bring civilization" to anyone. Hello, people? Read your history, it's only ever about resources and political power. Who wants to bet Ann invented Khadra in an attempt to bring some "cred" to her blog?
I thought khadra was an imaginary friend but now she is back from Venus ! Woow.
Welcome back khadra! Is your real name Stacey! Just curious.

Wrongful Death of Louisiana Salt Mine Worker Killed in 2009 Weeks Island Salt Mine Collapse
December 18, 2020 | by Broussard & David
Based on the published Western District of Louisiana opinion, Pennier, et al. v. Morton Int'l, et al., 2011 WL 6160207, (W.D. LA 6/24/2011), on June 12, 2009, a Louisiana salt mine worker was pressure washing equipment inside Morton's salt mine in Weeks Island near New Iberia, Louisiana when the salt mine's roof collapsed, causing fatal injuries. His family hired Broussard & David, LLC to bring a wrongful death action against his employer, Morton Salt, alleging fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of Morton's employees.
Typically, the Louisiana Worker's Compensation law constrains an employee's recovery for on-the-job injuries. A narrow exception to Worker's Compensation allows an employee to avoid this limited recovery by proving that the employer acted intentionally with the substantially certain knowledge that an injury may result.
Based on Pennier, et al. v. Morton Int'l, et al., 2011 WL 6160207, (W.D. LA 6/24/2011), the attorney representing the family of the deceased worker, Blake R. David of Broussard & David, LLC, escaped Worker's Compensation exclusivity by establishing, through employee and manager testimony, Morton employee knowledge that its employees had used illegal bolting practices for a substantial time before the Salt Mine's roof collapsed. Morton's employees were required by law to routinely check and accurately record the torque on salt mine roof bolts with a torque wrench in order to avoid roof collapse. However, Morton's employees forged bolt torque forms with made-up findings without ever checking the bolt's torque, and then lied to Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) government inspectors about their bolting procedures to avoid citations. Later, reports from MSHA found that the roof collapse causing the miner's death resulted from poor installation methods in the bolting procedures by Morton's employees. Broussard & David's litigation discovery led to the alleged fraud findings.

Landmark Oil and Gas Decision
September 15, 2020 | by Broussard & David
In a recent landmark, unanimous opinion, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of environmental justice for Louisiana and to hold the oil and gas industry accountable for the devastating effects of Big Oil on the fragile Louisiana coast, coastal parishes, and ecosystems. The court rejected the motion to place coastal lawsuits under the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary, and these cases will fall under the jurisdiction of Louisiana state courts, effectively moving cases previously bogged down by seven years of delays quickly to trial. Richard Broussard, of Broussard & David in Lafayette, LA co-represented the Louisiana coastal parishes alongside John Carmouche of Talbot, Carmouche, and Marcello in Baton Rouge. As the opinion was released, Broussard counted it "as a huge step forward for the citizens of Louisiana and all those who value the future of our environment."
Environmental justice crusader, Ret. Lt. General Russell Honore, who has devoted his post military career to lead Louisiana's charge for environmental protection, was equally impressed with the court's decision for accountability for the nearly 25 billion dollars in catastrophic damage that has been caused by oil and gas in Louisiana. Honore shared with Bayou Brief earlier this week, "Big Oil is no longer the sacred cow in Louisiana. They need to clean up the mess, abandon the wells and pits, and pay for the decades of pollution of our wetlands. Big Oil owns the (state) legislature, with their flag over the Capitol, but as courts proved in the BP case, these companies can and should be held accountable."
LSU professor and spokesperson for protection of Louisiana's coasts, James Carville called the court's opinion "The best day Louisiana has had in the 21st Century." This monumental ruling is noted as the 85th failed attempt by oil and gas companies to divert lawsuits from Louisiana state courts. This is the first opinion issued on the matter by the right-leaning Fifth Circuit, and Carmouche relayed to the Bayou Brief, "For our coastal parishes to have won in this court, the fact the vote was 3 to 0 in favor of the coastal parishes of Louisiana, and the fact that all three judges who voted to give our state courts the authority to determine the future of coastal Louisiana are appointees of President Trump demonstrates the restoration of Louisiana's coast is not a partisan issue, but an issue of law and equity."
$46 Million and Product Recall in IKEA Settlement for Death of Toddler
February 3, 2020 | by Broussard & David
On January 6, the attorney for the Dudek family, a couple who tragically lost their child due to the tip over of a popular dresser from IKEA, announced a settlement of this matter. IKEA settled for $46 million after the toddler was crushed to death when the dresser toppled over on top of the child. This dresser has been appropriately recalled after at least five other children were killed. This is not the first settlement with these circumstances ending in this tragedy. In 2016, Ikea settled with three families in eerily similar circumstances for $50 million.
The current case arose when the Dudeks sued IKEA arguing that the company knew this furniture line was prone to tip over and fail to warn customers. In an effort to mitigate this problem IKEA offered a wall anchoring kit before issuing a full recall of the dresser line.
The Dudeks purchased the dresser in 2008, but claim they never got an alert about the recall. On May 24, 2017, Mr. Dudek went into his son's room to find him trapped beneath the 70-pound IKEA dresser. Joseph passed away from asphyxia after being smothered and choked by the tip over.

Search for Survivors in Gulf Coast Helicopter Crash Suspended
On November 7, 2019, a helicopter is presumed to have crashed in the Gulf of Mexico. The helicopter was owned and being flown by Panther Marine. Panther Marine was operating the aircraft under Panther Helicopters of Belle Chasse. The helicopter was hired by Cox Oil.
The last communication was about ten minutes before the helicopter was expected to land. Unfortunately, the crew did not reach their destination.
Because the last known location of the helicopter was approximately 13 nautical miles off the coast of Louisiana, the Coast Guard is searching for the two passengers. "The passengers were transiting from one offshore rig to another" the Coast Guard stated. Since beginning the search, the Coast Guard discovered debris at 40 nautical miles. As of Saturday November 9th, the Coast Guard was still searching.

ATTORNEY BLAKE R. DAVID ACHIEVES BOARD CERTIFICATION IN CIVIL TRIAL LAW BY THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRIAL ADVOCACY
October 14, 2016 | by Broussard & David
Lafayette, Louisiana – The National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) is pleased to announce that Blake R. David of the law firm, Broussard & David, LLC has successfully achieved Board Certification as a Civil Trial Advocate. The NBTA was formed out of a strong conviction that both the law profession and its clients would benefit from an organization designed specifically to create an objective set of standards illustrating an attorney's experience and expertise in the practice of trial law.
Blake R. David joins a growing number of trial attorneys that have illustrated their commitment to bettering the legal profession by successfully completing a rigorous application process and providing the consumer of legal services with an objective measure by which to choose qualified and experienced legal counsel.
The elaborate screening of credentials that all NBTA board certified attorneys must successfully complete includes: demonstration of substantial trial experience, submission of judicial and peer references to attest to their competency, attendance of continuing legal education courses, submission of legal writing documents, proof of good standing and passing of rigorous written examination.
Court Affirms $1.3 Million Judgement Against State in Accident on I-12
A three-judge panel from the FirstCircuit Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's ruling finding the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development at fault for the severe injuries suffered by Evelyn "Joy" Menard when her vehicle struck an out-of-service signal wire hanging under the Essen Lane overpass.
The accident occurred in 2004 but the wire had been hanging under the I-12 bridge for decades, having been installed by the DOTD in 1967 and decommissioned in 1976. The wire had sagged over time and, by the time of the accident, was low enough that it was pulled down by a passing 18-wheeler. Ms. Menard was travelling behind the 18-wheeler and her car became entangled in the downed wire, pulling her vehicle violently sideways, injuring her lower back and leaving her totally disabled.
At trial, DOTD acknowledged that following the decommission of the signal in 1976, it had no record of inspecting or servicing the wire, the pole, traffic signal, or any other component part of the signal governing the entrance to the intersection where the accident occurred. Ms. Menard's expert testified that DOTD's abandonment of the wire without inspection or any effort to maintain it rendered the wire unreasonably dangerous, especially in light of the risk of the wire sagging over time.
Two Dead After Vehicle Hit By Train
Two Baton Rouge siblings were killed last week when their vehicle was struck by an oncoming train. Byron Henderson, 41, and Myra Henderson, 42, were driving their SUV westbound on Dorcy Road in White Castle, LA when it came to a complete stop while atop of the railroad tracks. The crossing is not outfitted with warning lights or crossing guards.
Union Pacific, the owners and operators of the train, allege that the train's horn was blown continuously for forty seconds prior to the collision. The Iberville Sheriff's Office is still looking into why the vehicle was parked on the railroad tracks. Investigators are hoping that footage from the train's front-mounted cameras will shed more light on this event.
Union Pacific is cooperating with the Sheriff's Office by conducting their own investigation into the events of that day. While it is not currently know what speed the train was traveling at the time of impact, Union Pacific spokesperson Jeff DeGraff confirmed that their trains' speed is limited to 60 mph in that area.

"S&TC has for a long time questioned the English water companies over their abstraction policies, especially in water-scarce, aquifer-fed regions, but now it appears that other sectors of the industry are under scrutiny."
Paul Knight, CEO Salmon & Trout Conservation writes…..
Carry out the basic duties
In the Financial Times recently, it was reported that Southern Water Services is being investigated by the regulator, Ofwat, over allegations that it breached its statutory duties on sewage treatment.
In fact, this investigation had already been the subject of earlier FOI requests submitted by S&TC in 2018. Our investigation had required a referral to the Information Commissioner before OFWAT signalled last December that they were still investigating SWS and had been since June 2017.
OFWAT confirmed to S&TC that their investigation covered "the company's general duty to, among other things, provide and maintain its sewerage system to ensure its area is effectually drained (Section 94 Water Industry Act 1991) and the company's obligation to ensure it has adequate financial and management resources and systems of planning and control in place to enable it to fulfil its statutory obligations (Condition F of its licence)".
The investigation, which covers wastewater treatment works operated by SWS, is also looking at the company's reporting of relevant compliance information to OFWAT, focused on the years from 2010 to 2017. OFWAT is looking at whether SWS needs to make future revenue adjustments and/or pay penalties.
In short, this is all about SWS's basic duty, to operate sewers, collect sewage and treat sewage to render it harmless. If it has failed to do this properly, in some systematic way, it would be shocking.
We now see that the allegations are so strong that the Serious Fraud Office could become involved.
Overwhelming Overflows
S&TC's Riverfly Census results are showing just what a dreadful ecological state some of our rivers are in at the moment, and impact from inadequately-treated sewage is undoubtedly one of the sources of the offending pollution, together with the lack of dilution for pollutants due to excessive water abstraction. This is especially the case in some smaller, rural treatment works, where investment has not been as great as in larger urban areas. Many of these rural units cannot cope with being inundated in storm-water events and have no option but to spill raw sewage into rivers. Our wild fish stocks inevitably suffer in such events, as does their food chain and the whole ecology of our river systems.
While water companies must be commended for the huge investment that has been made to clean up the environment since privatisation in 1989, to enable that to happen, they have accumulated some £51bn of debt, while a staggering £56bn has been paid out to shareholders in dividends - according to an analysis of Ofwat's accounts by the Financial Times. In contrast, we note that Dwr Cymru (Welsh Water) is a not for profit company.
Profit should not be made off the back of pollution
SWS is owned by a consortium of private equity and infrastructure investors, including, amongst others, UBS Asset Management and JPMorgan Asset Management. Between 2016 and 2017, SWS distributed no less than £190m in shareholder dividends while its treatment works continued to discharge under-treated sewage into the environment. We have to ask whether investors such as UBS and JP Morgan will ever have the best interests of our water environment as a priority, over making a return on capital? The investigation by Ofwat, and the possibility of the involvement of the Serious Fraud Office, suggests that those of us trying to protect our rivers, coasts and their dependent wild stocks of fish, should be very concerned indeed.
At S&TC, we now have the evidence within our Riverfly Census Report to put in front of decision makers to demand that they regulate water polluters with a great deal more zeal than they have done in the past. In terms of water companies, that means that Ofwat must go further than merely ensuring customers pay the minimum possible for their water supplies and sewage treatment – there has to be a genuine responsibility for environmental protection. The better news is that we hear rumours of the Environment Agency getting tougher with water companies but, again, they need the resources to operate effectively.

Millefiori is also called Thousand Flowers. I do not believe that one was in original condition. It had been rewired at some point. I believe this lamp is all original with pull chain and the cord plug dates it to approximately mid 1940s to 1950s. It measures approximately 16 and 1/2 inches tall and 9 inches across on the lampshade. Please look over the pictures of this beautiful lamp I did not find any damage there is some normal wear and patina on the metal pieces, normal for a 75 year old item!

Descendents of the original inhabitants of southern Africa, the Khomani San of the Kalahari are revered for their intimate knowledge of bush lore. These skills are now being transformed into sustainable livelihoods for this community, on the vast tracts of land they own in and around Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in the Northern Cape. If you go there, you'll meet them in person.
'Do you see the heart?' asks guide Koos Visser, as we stand at !Xaus Lodge overlooking the dry red pan below. 'Look at the indentation on the right side of the pan and you will see it easily,' he says, tracing the heart outline with his finger. !Xaus means 'heart' in Nama, and the pan marks the very place where the vast tracts of land owned by the Khomani San and Mier communities meet. Not just their land, but their hearts meet here too, in this pan.
The 50 000 ha owned by the two communities (25 000 ha each) is in the south-western section of iconic Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park; it's known as !Ae!Hai Kalahari Heritage Park and is managed contractually for the two communities by SANParks. This is a visionary community conservation model, and so was the proclamation of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in 2000. It's the first transfrontier park in Africa; 3.6 million hectares that join together the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa and Botswana's Gemsbok National Park into a vast, single conservation area.
Koos Visser shows the spiky gemsbok melons and a broom bush on the right.
As we head out into the red dunes in the Land Cruiser, the early morning sun setting the sand on fire with a crimson glow, Koos is clearly in his element. He's animated when we stop and hop out of the vehicle. 'Everything we need is right here,' he smiles. 'There's a broom bush ready for sweeping, and it makes a lovely gift for Bushmen ladies. Look at that spiky gemsbok melon lying in the sand; you can brush your hair with the spikes and, when you are groomed, inside is a full meal of food and water. Over there are dune reeds for house building and this gnarled root of the Shepherd bush tastes a bit like coffee - if you grind it and have an imagination. All you need for living is right here in this tiny patch of sand,' he says. If you know where to look, the Kalahari is a complete outdoor supermarket.
We take a slow drive back to the !Xaus Lodge, and it's quick when compared to traversing the 90 red sand dunes to get there from the collection point. Koos talks lyrically about life in the desert, his home space. 'Out here it's open, there are lots of stars and it's quiet, with just the sound of birds and animals calling at night. There's no signal for cell phones or DSTV, nature is your entertainment.' He says that's exactly what people love most about coming to !Xaus Lodge, because you definitely can't arrive there by accident.
Back at the lodge again, we head down to the open-air craft workshop close by. It's a simple reed boma and we find loin-cloth clad Khomani San men and women inside, carefully fashioning beads from ostrich egg shell, polishing bone for pendants, and drilling holes in wild seeds that will reincarnate as beads. Children play in between and a fire smokes in one corner. They all chat in clicks as they go about their crafts, which will be bought by fascinated tourists and taken home with pride. The Bushmen are visionary when it comes to creating something out of apparently nothing. Even dried gemsbok testicle pouches are for sale here.
Peace Parks Foundation has been poudly supporting the development of the !Ae!Hai Kalahari Heritage Park, to preserve the cultural and traditional knowledge of the ‡Khomani San and Mier communities, since 2009.

Rivalry Trophy Series, Bowl Edition: The Best and Worst Bowl Games of the Year
Posted on December 19, 2012 August 3, 2014 by Big League Clu
Clu Closes out the Rivalry Trophy Series in style.
In my final installment of the Rivalry Trophy Series for the 2012 football season, we will be breaking down the most wonderful time of the year…for college football fans that is. Yes, you guessed it everyone, its bowl season! Now I have carefully looked at every bowl game being played this December and January and carefully selected a handful that I feel are either amazing bowl games that everyone needs to watch, or others to just point and laugh at. Oh and I also got a little creative with the titles as to what I think the names of the bowl games SHOULD be instead of whatever the corporate sponsor has named them. Anyways, I could just breakdown the BCS games that will be taking place in January, but whats the fun in that when we can make fun of the red beans and rice bowl, am I right guys? Ah? So let's save the real meaty games for another time.
I Cant Believe They're Playing in a Bowl… Bowl
Why are they in a bowl? Beats me! Watch it anyways! (Adam Ring/Iowa State Daily)
The Autozone Liberty Bowl: December 31 @ 3:30pm
Iowa State Cyclones vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricanes
This goes out to the Iowa State Cyclones because they somehow managed to make the Autozone Liberty Bowl despite only winning three in-conference games and finished out the year with a 6-6 overall record. Surely there was someone else who was worth receiving this bowl bid! At least ISU had quality wins over #15 TCU and Baylor, so maybe that helped the NCAA push them into a bowl game. As for Tulsa, they are looking to avenge the 38-23 loss they had against Iowa State in Week 1. The Golden Hurricanes (10-3, 7-1), who won the C-USA title over UCF, should put up quite a fight in this post-season rematch.
The Mr. Tremendous Bowl
Can Northwestern end 60+ years of losing? (Jerry Lai/US PRESSWIRE)
Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl: January 1 @12pm
Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. #20 Northwestern Wildcats
Now the reason that this is called the Mr. Tremendous bowl is that it is the best named bowl game of the year. I mean how does the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl just not sound awesome? But, do you know what is even more awesome? The two teams who will be playing in it. Mississippi State and Northwestern were pretty much written off as contending football programs for 2012. Mississippi State would go on to start the season 7-0 and, although they stumbled at the end, they still managed to finish off the year with an 8-4 record. Good for them! As for #20 Northwestern, they played in some tough games throughout the year, won the games they needed to get to a 9 win season, and are now playing in their 5th consecutive bowl game… Lets hope this is the year they break their nine-game bowl losing streak (tied for the longest losing streak in college bowl history). Their one win came all the way back in the 1948 Rose Bowl during the Pappy Waldorf Era.
Also, since it a January 1st bowl game…Tax season will be right around the corner! So here's the link to taxslayer incase you want to get going on those taxes there buddy! (See what I did there?)
The Mr. Irrelevant Bowl
Seriously though, is anyone gonna watch this game? (Kentwired.com)
GoDaddy.com Bowl: January 6 @ 9pm
#25 Kent State Golden Flashes vs. Arkansas State Red Wolves
This one I call Mr. Irrelevant because its the last Non-BCS game to be played for the year and, of course, it is between two teams who nobody will really watch unless they are students or alumni. Now I am not knocking these programs because both are among the top in their respective conferences. Kent State is ranked 25th in the nation and had an 11 win season and Arkansas State had a 9 win season and won the Sun Belt conference. But, in all honesty, who the hell is really going to watch this game?! The next night is the National championship game for one, and two… the GoDaddy.com bowl is being played at 9PM on a sunday!! Hellooo! The NFL will be right in the midst of the first round of the playoffs. So good job whomever scheduled this game.
The Its too early for football Bowl
Which is the better bird? We'll find out soon! (Bob Levey/Getty Images)
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl: December 29 @ 11:45am
Rice Owls vs. Air Force Falcons
This game is just way too early for any college football fan to be watching. It is slated to go on Saturday Dec. 29th at 11:45AM EST, so in actuality thats 10:45am for those watching in the central standard time zone. College football fans who follow Rice and AF will most likely be having some coffee along with those frosty brews and maybe some hotcakes while we're at it too? This battle of the birds bowl (Rice University team name is an Owl while Air Force are Falcons, get it?) game features two teams going in opposite directions on the season. What I mean by that is that, while Air Force lost three out of their last four games, Rice had to win five of their last six games to make a bowl appearance. Can AF stop the bleeding and get a much needed win? Or will Rice continue their hot streak? Both schools are at 6-6, so a win would ultimately prove to be a positive for either program. On top of that, this game might also finally put to rest the ultimate question…which bird is cooler, An Owl or a Falcon?
The WTF Bowl
This guy's ready for Vanderbilt to play ball! (Vucommodores.com)
Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl: December 31 @ 12pm
NC State Wolfpack vs. Vanderbilt Commodores
So the reason for naming this the WTF bowl is because I was kind of shocked and the absurdly long title that it was given. The Music City Bowl is a very nice and prestigious bowl game in my opinion. It takes place in Nashville Tennessee, it promotes the music and I mean Nashville is known as the Music city! Why would they ruin it with such an absurd sponsor as Mortgage realty? I just don't get it… I expect next year they will have someone like JandR or someone in the music/entertainment industry try and sponsor it. Anywho, back to the teams. Vanderbilt has definitely been a surprise story this season. They are another hot team who cant seem to lose, reeling off six wins in a row to get into bowl contention and finishing 8-4 on the year. North Carolina State is not your typical cream puff 7-5 team. They played in a tough division within the ACC. And, as everyone always knows, ACC/SEC matchups are usually tough and gritty. Should be a good one!
(Honorary bowl name mentions: Beef 'O' Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl)
The Oh Wow They're Playing One Another Bowl
Will Syracuse win big in the Bronx? (Nicholas Lisi/The Post-Standard)
New Era Pinstripes Bowl: December 29 @ 3:30pm
West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Syracuse Orange
When I first saw this, I was actually not really excited for this matchup because Syracuse has already been to the New Era Pinstripes bowl (back in 2010). Why couldn't they play somewhere else? On top of that, I am always nervous when the Orange face WV because of how dangerous the Mountaineers can be. But the more that I looked at it, the more I realized that this would be good for both schools. It brings back their old rivalry for one more season (which I have mentioned numerous times). It's also being played at Yankee Stadium, which is only a five hour drive/train ride for loyal Syracuse followers to go to and it also gives Syracuse somewhat of a home-field advantage (and rightfully so, since they won a share of the Big East title). Both schools played a very tough schedule this year. West Virginia had to go up against the monsters of the Big 12, while Syracuse had one of the toughest non-conference schedules of the season (facing USC, Missouri and Northwestern). Both schools have very high powered offenses which should lead to a high scoring affair.
The Look At These F***ing Guys Bowl
Who is better than Johnny Football? (Nick De La Torre/Houston Chronicle)
Cotton Bowl: January 4 @ 8pm
#9 Texas AandM Aggies vs. #11 Oklahoma Sooners
Boy this game should be a doozey! Former Big 12 rivals, playing in Cowboys Stadium the freakin' Cotton Bowl. Big named QBs squaring off: Johnny Manziel a.k.a "Johnny Football" vs. Landry "Biscuits and Gravy" Jones (see our college football previews for this reference). Manziel, in case everyone has been under a rock this year, made history this past weekend by winning the Heisman Memorial trophy (best player in football) as a freshman… That's never been done before just so you know. Texas A&M is in its inaugural season playing in the SEC, while Oklahoma, who has had an amazing team all year long, has this game circled as they go up against one of their former rivals. This will be one of the most watched games (outside of the national title game) for sure, especially since it features a Heisman winner in Johnny Manziel and one of the best QBs in Oklahoma Sooners history (2011 Manning Award finalist, owns 13 program passing records, OU's all time passing leader with 16,368 career yards) in Jones.
(Honorary mention: Outback Bowl – #10 South Carolina vs. #18 Michigan)

Chris White, 83, was left mortified after he received a letter describing how he had a 'strong smell of alcohol' while attending an appointment at Solihull Hospital in December 2013.
Chris, who said he never touched a drop of drink in his life, has now had the doctor's statement removed from his medical record after a campaign by the Birmingham Mail. In a letter to Mr White and his wife Margaret, 67, on 28th February, the hospital said that the letter from doctor had now been recanted and destroyed because of inaccuracy but despite the relief of getting the letter removed, wife Margaret who suffers with anxiety, told how she has been suffering stress since the episode.
Now the couple are awaiting an operation date for Chris, after his appointment for Friday 7th March was cancelled.

Experts say the government has been slow in dealing with the water crisis | National newspaper
Yvonne Lipsey September 2, 2021 3 min read
Experts estimate that the government has been slow to acknowledge the seriousness of the lack of rain and to take effective action against the energy crisis. The new tariff flag came into effect on Wednesday (1).
Since October 2020, the low level of hydroelectric reservoirs has already attracted attention. That's when the government started activating more thermal power plants to help produce energy.
Throughout 2021 there was no recovery. Averages in reservoirs remained low. The forecast of the national system operator is even more worrying: that in November, the main tanks will reach 10% of capacity. Even in the face of this scenario, the government has only now taken drastic measures to try and reduce the energy consumption of resident consumers and small businesses.
One of them, the new science of water scarcity, is already in effect. Enter the place of the red flag. The surcharge will rise from R$9.49 to R$14.20 for every 10 kWh consumed. The increase in accounts will be about 7%.
The government has also ordered Eletrobras to deposit R$5 billion up front in 2022 into the Energy Development Account, which is used, for example, to give cuts to the electricity bill for low-income consumers. To encourage lower consumption, it announced a kind of bonus for those who were able to reduce their bills from September to December 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
The science of water scarcity is not applied to large consumers, such as industries, for example. For this sector, the government has launched a voluntary program to reduce consumption.

In expert opinion I've heard before National newspaperThe measures introduced by the government arrive late. It should have been approved at least three months ago. According to them, the result of this delay is now facing a much greater risk of power failure due to system overload.
The government has taken some time to act. The government also erred when it said that legalization is not being considered. Technically, when you have a rainfall regime that doesn't match the average, you have to look ahead. This is the role of those who plan, that is, you start working with scenarios where there are risks, and especially when you do the risk analysis, you see the consequences of what happens if those risks materialize," says David Zylbersztajn, PUC Professor Rio.
On August 25, the Minister of Mines and Energy confirmed that there would be no rationing: "I will repeat quite calmly that we are not working with the premise of rationing," Minister Pinto Albuquerque said at the time.
But he showed on Tuesday (31) that the crisis may require new measures.
"Photography today is this. We cannot predict the future. We believe that these actions are sufficient and we monitor the system permanently. We also have to have fluidity in the system, balance in the system. That is why these actions are implemented and will be carried out as necessary in order to reduce the cost of energy." If you reduce the cost of energy, we will lower the tariff. And everything indicates that we are on the right track," he said.

On Wednesday (1), Vice President Hamilton Muraw did not rule out legalization.
"The government took the necessary measures, set up a committee to monitor and make decisions in a timely manner to prevent what I said, that there is a blackout happening. Now, there may be some rationing. The decision makers had all the data available, and if they didn't make a tougher decision earlier, It's because the risk analysis they did, it wasn't like that. I see it that way."
The risk of blackouts is real, says Marcus Freitas, a professor at UFRJ.
"The risks of the blackout are real and tangible. Not now, but it might be November or something. I think, right now, the biggest risk is economic: some of the investments that are going to be made in Brazil, the returns from sectors that have been suffering because of Covid, and now, With the development of vaccination, they have been discouraged by lack of energy or for economic reasons," says Marcus Freitas.

When traveling, the best restaurant recommendations can often be gleaned from the locals. So when it comes to the top Cape Cod restaurants, you can take my word for it: I'm from the seaside village of Cotuit.
From casual fried seafood at Arnold's in Eastham to upscale dining at the Naked Oyster in Hyannis – plus a couple of newer additions well on their way to making their mark – if it's a good meal you're after, these are the Cape Cod institutions that can't be missed.
Looking for more things to do in the area? Check out our list of the top 10 things to do in Cape Cod.

The site of a former blacksmith shop, Blackfish cooks up New American cuisine in a low-key, rustic setting. Locals and tourists alike flock here for unique menu items and a lively bar scene.

Non-seafood lovers can choose from a variety of burgers, including a veggie option.

On scenic Parker's River, Captain Parker's is a must-visit, especially if you love clam chowder – the chowder here has won countless awards. Here you'll find a casual atmosphere and an extensive menu featuring house specials like shrimp scampi and surf and turf.
The farm-to-table, seven-course prix fixe menu here changes nightly depending on what's available from local farmers, fishermen and foragers.

The menu includes wine, beer or soft flight pairings.

Here, two levels offer two options – go upstairs for a relaxed, cafe vibe, or try downstairs for upscale dining. Menu favorites at this AAA Three Diamond Rated restaurant include the pan-seared sole, shellfish fettuccine and filet mignon. Sip a cucumber lemon drop martini at the bar, which is known for its huge martini list.
This upscale setting features brick walls with local artwork for a modern vibe – a perfect place for a naked cantaloupe martini or a barrel-aged Manhattan.

Situated along Nantucket Sound with panoramic views, the Ocean House Restaurant offers dine-in casual elegance for lunch or dinner.

Сергей Даду () е молдовски футболист, нападател. Голяма част от кариерата си прекарва в Шериф (Тираспол) и Алания (Владикавказ). Има 30 мача и 8 гола за националния отбор на Молдова.

Клубна кариера
През 1999 г. подписва договор с Шериф (Тираспол). През 2000 г. е изпратен да се обиграва в Хайдукул, но там изиграва само 3 мача. През 2002 г. е даден под наем на Конструктурул. В началото на 2003 г. се завръща в Шериф и става голмайстор на Националната дивизия. През лятото на 2003 г. Даду и съотборникът му Кристиян Тудор са привлечени от Алания (Владикавказ) под наем.

През 2004 г. е привлечен в ЦСКА (Москва). Даду става първият молдовски футболист, играл в Шампионска лига, след като влиза като резерва в двубоя от груповата фаза с Челси. Даду играе 30 минути, но "армейците" губят двубоя с 0:2. Поади голямата конкуренция в състава обаче Сергей изиграва само 1 мач в първенството. През пролетта на 2005 г. изкарва проби в Кристъл Палас, но му е отказана работна виза.

През 2005 г. отново играе в Алания под наем. Владикавказци обаче изпадат от Премиер лигата след края на сезона. В началото на 2006 г. е близо до трансфер в Том Томск, но отборът не успява да го картотекира навреме. Сергей се завръща в Шериф, където вкарва 8 гола в 14 двубоя.

През 2007 г. подписва с датския Митюлан. Даду става един от най-добрите играчи в шампионата и любимец на феновете. През лятото на 2008 г. се завръща в Алания, за да е по-близо до семейството си. Даду изиграва основна роля за промоцията на Алания в Премиер лигата.

На 19 юли 2010 г. Даду получава тежка травма на коляното в мач с Локомотив (Москва). Нападателят пропуска повече от година, а лекарите не му дават надежда дори, че може да ходи. Въпреки молбите на феновете, Алания не удължава договора на Сергей.

През август 2012 г. се завръща в Шериф и вкарва гол в дебюта си. През лятото на 2013 г. слага край на кариерата си, след като не успява да се възстанови напълно от контузията си.

Национален отбор
Дебютира за националния отбор на 20 ноември 2002 г. в мач с . Първия си гол вкарва на 12 февруари 2003 г. във вратата на Грузия. За Молдова изиграва 30 мача, в които вкарва 8 гола.

Now Reading: Journalists Blocked from Attending Secretive Immigration Tent Courts
Journalists Blocked from Attending Secretive Immigration Tent Courts
Normally, the press can observe immigration court proceedings. But journalists are being turned away from the first asylum hearings in Laredo under the Migrant Protection Protocols.
The tent court facility in Laredo. Gus Bova
Gus Bova Sep 11, 2019, 10:57 am CST
The Trump administration is conducting asylum hearings in makeshift tent facilities by the ports of entry in Laredo and Brownsville for migrants who have been forced to wait months in Mexico under the chaotic Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program. And no, you journalists and concerned members of the public, you do not get to observe the proceedings.
On Wednesday, Buzzfeed writer Adolfo Flores reported he was turned away at the Laredo tent court by a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official who said only "law enforcement, attorneys with clients, and contractors" were allowed. Flores confirmed that the first MPP hearings at the Laredo tent facility were being held Wednesday. Reportedly, hearings in Brownsville start Thursday. Members of the press are normally allowed to observe immigration court proceedings.
I wasn't allowed to observe the first MPP/"Remain in Mexico" hearings at the tents in Laredo, TX because they're "not open to the public," a DHS officer said. Was told the only people allowed inside the tents DHS built are law enforcement, attorneys with clients, and contractors. pic.twitter.com/c1aT3P4dPW
— Adolfo Flores (@aflores) September 11, 2019
Two Laredo residents, Selene Cruz and Silvia Castaños, also attempted to attend as court observers and were turned away, according to an audio recording they sent to the Observer.
DHS has kept its port courts shrouded in mystery. I and reporters from other outlets have emailed both DHS and the Department of Justice dozens of times to ask when MPP hearings would begin and whether press would be allowed. They have stubbornly refused to provide information. On Monday, I traveled to Laredo based on information that hearings might begin then. When I arrived, no hearings appeared to be taking place. When I asked Customs and Border Protection officials in Laredo when they would begin, I got no answers.
On Wednesday, about three hours after journalists and community members were turned away in Laredo, DHS finally provided a statement, in which a spokesperson said the tent facilities "will not be open to in-person public access, including media access." The statement goes on to say that reporters will have access to the San Antonio immigration court, where judges will be hearing MPP cases via video. That will put reporters some 150 miles from the migrants—a primary source of information regarding these hearings.
Migrants returning to Nuevo Laredo under the Migrant Protection Protocols. Gus Bova
Over 6,000 migrants who arrived in Laredo have been returned to Mexico under MPP; more than 6,000 in Brownsville have also been sent back across the border. Nationwide, more than 42,000 have been returned. In some cases, they have been sent to the city of Monterrey and even as far as Chiapas, well over 1,000 miles away from the U.S. border. Migrants have faced numerous ordeals in Mexico—everything from homelessness to assault. Many have given up and gone home.
In the places where hearings have been going on for months inside normal immigration courts, like San Diego and El Paso, court data show that almost no migrants have found lawyers to represent them. Journalists have recently reported difficulties observing hearings in El Paso too.
There will be a court hearing in California to determine the legality of MPP on October 1. At stake will be the due process rights of the asylum-seekers in the program.
If any immigration court proceedings need public monitoring, it's the exact ones that the Trump administration is walling us off from.
This post has been updated to reflect an audio recording sent to the Observer and a statement from DHS.
