Responding immediately to family violence
Inspired by El Paso's model domestic violence program, prosecutors in Bee County adapted it for their rural jurisdiction. Here's how.
Martha Warner
District Attorney in Bee, Live Oak, and McMullen Counties
"Women are worth the time." This was a recent headline in our local biweekly newspaper, The Bee Picayne, after a jury convicted a Pistolero gang member for brutalizing at least four young women he had been dating over several years. That defendant is now appealing two cases with stacked sentences totaling 70 years in prison, thanks to our new Violence Against Woman Grant Program and a very persistent assistant district attorney named James Sales who was hired under my border prosecution grant, both of which were obtained from Governor Rick Perry's office. This infusion of money has enabled us to form a new family violence program, which is modeled after one in El Paso.
Inspiration from El Paso
I heard El Paso District Attorney Jaime Esparza speak at the Elected Prosecutor Conference in Fort Worth two years ago about a very successful domestic violence program he had implemented in his office. His enthusiasm and passion for prosecuting family violence (FV) cases, which destroy entire families and create cycles of continuing violence, was contagious.
Under the El Paso program, there is an immediate response to an assault within the family by prosecutoral teams, which include victim coordinators and investigators who either respond at the scene or meet with the victim the next day. The victim coordinators develop a personal relationship with the victim by attempting to get them the help they may immediately need to feel safe, while the investigators take more photos and get good statements and the names of potential witnesses. They also gather all of the local officers' offense reports and review all of the 911 calls pertaining to the case. Each week Mr. Esparza meets with the prosecution team (specially assigned assistant district attorneys, investigators, and victim coordinators) and personally staffs each case. Delays are eliminated and the cases are dealt with very swiftly.
I knew immediately that the people in my rural South Texas communities of Bee, Live Oak, and McMullen Counties could be helped by the program Mr. Esparza outlined. However, like most rural prosecutors, we are trying to fight crime in miserably underfunded offices in districts where commissioners are desperately trying to balance budgets. Just to offer some background on my jurisdiction, Beeville, which is the county seat for Bee County and the largest town (at a population of 17,000) in the three counties, is home to the maximum security McConnell and Garza East and West Units of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). These prison units may have saved the town from dying on the vine when our naval base was closed, but they have also increased the gang activity as members and recruits of the Mexican Mafia, Hermanadad de Pistoleros Latinos, Texas Syndicate, and Raza Unida attempt to control the drug and human trafficking in and around Beeville. Live Oak County has two main towns, George West and Three Rivers; they have been booming with transient oil field workers (the Eagle Ford Shale sweeps through South Texas). Tiden, which is the county seat of McMullen, shares all of the drug trafficking problems but few gang crimes due to its small size.
Before I qualified for the Border Prosecution Unit (BPU) grant, my office consisted of me and my only assistant, Deborah Branch, with three very hard-working support staff. There are also many demands on our underpaid and understaffed law enforcement officers due to the human, drug, and gang trafficking on the many highways feeding up from the Mexican border. Although this new FV program sounded wonderful, it was not economically feasible for my small office at the time.
Grant funds to the rescue
Within a month of that conference, TDCAA's newly hired Victim Services Director, Suzanne McDaniel, notified district attorneys across the state about stimulus money that was immediately available through Governor Perry's office under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). And thanks to a lecture on grant writing by Bexar County Assistant Criminal District Attorney Katrina Daniels at the same Elected Conference at which Mr. Esparza spoke, and my incredibly bright administrative assistant Terri Hall, we applied for and were awarded a grant for $252,000 to hire an assistant prosecutor, an investigator, and a victim coordinator for our VAWA program. It would be a miniature version of what El Paso had implemented.
Historically there has always been a delay in getting these cases to my office which, until taking on this task, meant prosecuting only felonies. Many of our overworked officers had become hardened toward the victims who always cry wolf but then cry foul as they file nonprosecution affidavits within a week of the incident, claiming they made up the whole story, some even going so far as to say their bruises were self-inflicted. Other young officers were simply unprepared for the documentation that such a case requires.
My biggest concern was to find a good, aggressive prosecutor with excellent organizational skills. With the grant funds, I immediately hired Juan Garcia, a graduate of the University of Texas in Austin and Texas Tech Law School. He had prosecuted in Hidalgo County and speaks fluent Spanish. He was particularly excited about the challenge of creating a brand new program and has done a remarkable job.
I already had the perfect investigator in mind for this job: Dan Caddell has been in law enforcement for over 30 years. He is a sexual assault-family violence investigator and is training our officers. Over the last 13 years Dan and I have tried too many aggravated sexual assault cases to remember. He knows how to get the coorborating evidence that a prosecutor needs to make a potential losing case a winner. The only concern I had was getting him to move the misdemeanor cases quickly to Juan for informations within a week or two and the felonies for the next grand jury, even though the cases may not have met his standards of perfection. Again, the whole concept is to stop the long delays and get the victimized families the help they need quickly.
Our VAWA victim assistant coordinator, Joann Escobar, had worked with the adult probation office for eight years and has enthusiastically assisted many women. She works tirelessly, learning what resources are available for each individual case and keeping up with all of the paperwork including discovery and plea papers.
How it works in Bee County
Dan and Joann share an office with all of the files while Juan has an adjoining office. They gather offense reports, photos, and 911 calls every morning, then spend the rest of the morning making contact with the victims. If protective orders (POs) are needed, we refer those to our other victim coordinator, Christina Segovia, who works for the county attorney, Mike Knight. She covers all of the cases involving children and other victims of violent crime that are not considered family violence under our laws. Mr. Knight appointed me, Juan, and my first assistant, Deborah Branch, as assistant county attorneys to cover the misdemeanor family violence cases filed in Bee County.
We first set up separate dockets for all of the misdemeanor FV cases. That kept us from getting involved in the other misdemeanor dockets, which tend to be rather large. Mirella Davis, our county clerk, and her assistant, Mary Fritz, were very helpful and excited about the prospect of getting additional court costs on cases that historically end with no witness and thus a dismissal. Our county judge, David Silvas, was willing to add two more hearings and a jury trial to the schedule each month because of his concerns for the victimized families and children.
Domestic violence is often viewed as a losing battle for prosecutors. Our star witness is traumatized, afraid, and almost always reluctant to cooperate with law enforcement. As a result, investigations and prosecutions tend to go through the motions to the inevitable dismissal. Pursuing charges seems to be an ineffective allocation of a district attorney's limited resources. This program has changed that perception!
Establishing a respectful rapport with the victim supported by immediate documentation and collection of evidence enhances the quality of our cases exponentially. I had already started issuing grand jury subpoenas to victims who have filed nonprosecution affidavits in felony cases. In almost all of those cases I have been able to convince the victim to go forward with her truthful testimony after indictment.
Since our program began in August of last year, we have investigated 238 FV cases; 140 were misdemeanors and 98 felonies. About 85 percent of the victims do not want the State to file charges; however, we normally go forward even with the nonprosecution affidavit in our file. Our grand jury has no-billed 12 felonies, and three felonies were dismissed because our witnesses had moved. Thirty-four felony cases have been indicted and disposed of, and there are presently 49 pending investigation. Many of the misdemeanors are probated and some are offered pretrial supervision; however, a sizeable number of the defendants facing felony charges are looking at lengthy prison sentences because of the severity of the abuse.
These women are worth it.
When a felony panel of 70-plus jurors was asked if the State should drop charges in a family violence case just because the victim had filed a non-prosecution affidavit, not one person raised a hand! I truly believe Texans feel victimized women are worth the time it takes to thoroughly investigate their cases and take them to trial. In several instances, I have seen heroes—including some children of the perpetrator—step into a volatile, dangerous FV situation just to protect those women. We hope to do that too, just on the back end. Our new FV program is wonderful, and I hope we can continue it.


Hopefully you've found this little guide helpful! For more in depth answers however, the best people to speak to are your local service providers. Just use the above as a general guide, and don't be afraid to walk away and find a new company if you are comfortable with what you hear. Having issues with a tree that's dead or needs to come down?

The former Beatle enters the years following the book's publication All you need are ears Go back to the story several times.
According to Allan, it was clear from the start that McCartney would sing the title song. However, in a scene in the movie, the song will appear again. It was supposed to be broadcast in a nightclub and a singer had to be found for it. It is about this version that the producers want Martin's advice, the author muses after reading the documents he found.

Duck breasts are dark meat because the muscles must store energy which can sustain long distance flight. Chickens don't fly, but walk, therefore their legs are dark meat. Duck breasts also are devoid of interspersed fat. This makes them tough if you overcook and dry them out. Done properly, they are tender and delicious.
If duck breast is the main course, plan for at least two per person. Clean carefully to remove any feathers and shot. Soak in cold salty water for ½ an hour if the breasts show any sign of shot passing through.
I rarely marinate game fowl. But if you choose to, don't overdo it.
Simmer for 5 minutes, then allow to cool before pouring into a plastic storage bag and dropping in the duck breasts. Refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
Otherwise, use the above mixture for basting the duck breasts before placing on a medium grill - about 300 degrees with a gentle smoke. Baste and turn about every 15 minutes, making certain that none of the breasts are overcooking on a side. Continue until breasts reach and internal temperature of 145 degrees – yes, the duck breasts should be served about medium rare.

Architecture of Sydney
W.H. Lynn (1829-1915)
1930 – Plaza Theatre, George St., Sydney, Australia
1881 – Unbuilt W.H Lynn Proposal for Sydney Parliament
Architecture of Australia
Architecture of New South Wales
Plans for a new Australian Parliament House for Sydney were first announced in the early 1860s, and again in the late 1890s, although neither came to fruition. In 1861, the Irish architect William H. Lynn won an architectural competition to design a new Parliament House.
"Irish architectural talent has met with graceful recognition at the antipodes, for we find that in the competition for the best design forthe above-named important buildings, that submitted by Mr. W. H.Lynn (Messrs. Lanyon, Lynn, and Lanyon), of Dublin, Architect,was adjudged the first prize of £600. This is all the more complimentary as numerous Foreign, English, and Colonial architects competed. Mr. Lynn's design is said to be—as may reasonably be expected—a truly beautiful composition in the Gothic style, with lofty towers, high pitched roofs, and picturesque outline. The probable expenditure is estimated by the architect to the local board of public works at £642,205. A Gothic design by Messrs. Stent and Haver, of London—who also contributed a classic one-obtained second prize." The Irish Builder, February 1 1862.
From The Building News, January 24, 1862: "We learn that the designs for the new Houses of Parliament at Sydney, and of which twenty-one were sent in, have at last passed under the examination of the Board of Commissioners, and that tor two of them premiums have been awarded. On the 9th of November the Commissioners met, and were unanimous in their adjudication. The first premium of £600 was given for the design, "I bide," and the second of £300, to "Hora e Sempre," the first is by Mr. William Henry Lynn, of Sackville-street, Dublin. It is in the Gothic style, its most prominent feature being a succession of lofty towers, including a campanile ; the high pitched roof and windows being highly ornamented. The chief merit of the design is said to consist in the relief afforded by the broken outline, rich effects being produced by frequent and ornamented projections. The cost of carrying this design into effect is estimated by the colonial architect at £642,205.
The architects who obtained the second premium, are Messrs. Stent and Laver, of Great Portland-street, Portland-place. They sent two designs, the one Classic and the other Gothic. The Classic design presents a row of Corinthian columns, with massive entablature and pediment, and crowned by an octagonal tower. In the Gothic design there is a central tower. In considering their award in this case, the Commissioners regarded both designs favorably, but actually gave it for the last named. The estimated cost of carrying out the Classic design is £650,641, that for the Gothic £505,113.
Messrs. Stent and Layers are the architects for the Parliament buildings now being erected at Ottawa, Canada West, the foundation stone of which was laid, it will be remembered, by the Prince of Wales, in August of last year. Five only of the competitive designs were the production of colonial architects. "

Data Driven: Digital Marxism
Anyone can create value with the right data
By Geoff Wolf
It is the combination of people and tools that create value of any kind, in any industry. In the world of data and analytics, the data or processes themselves are meaningless without a person to make it all happen and to interpret the result. Sure, computers and databases can churn out value, but they have to be loaded with programs and rules first—not to mention the strategic understanding afterward.
Data: Then and Now
Years ago, before 24k modems and couplers roamed the landscape, marketing was dominated by a combination of calculators, yellow legal pads, ledger sheets and mainstream retail marketing practices.
Attribution and investment decisions were built on a foundation of focus groups and old-fashioned research. Then came the world of Lotus spreadsheets, manual reporting and blazing 56k modem speeds. The tools of the trade that created data and analytics value, up until this time, were controlled by a single person with 10-key calculators, Lotus programs and green bar printouts in-hand.
Next came 800 numbers, the Internet, more powerful computers and more complex direct marketing practices. All of this meant more and more data started becoming available. Because of this, the tools necessary to create value from data and analytics needed to become more powerful, too.
It makes sense that the investments necessary to develop new tools to keep up with the voluminous amounts of data arriving would only be available to those with enough cash to make the commitment. Thus, the tools and practices necessary to create value moved into the hands of the larger entities. The single person with a calculator was replaced by a team with relational databases to leverage. Amazing things were accomplished with the never-ending stream of new data, which continues today.
However, technology also has been expanding as rapidly as the volumes of data. We have now gone full-circle in regard to the tools necessary to create value from data and analytics. Extremely powerful tools are becoming available and are returning the "tools of production" back to a single person, with very affordable processing speeds and gigabytes of storage at their fingertips.

Hi Amanda here again, just wanted to talk to you about our Summer Camp. Last year we had a great camp and we're looking forward to summer of 2017. Our camp runs July through August for 7 weeks, 8 AM. to 3:45 PM. We offer a lot of great classes including, On Ice Jumps and Spins, Edge Class, Innovative Moves, Character Development, and a great time on the ice with our amazing coaches...including Dima from the Ukraine, who was a World Junior Champion in Pair Skating. We also have Dorina, which is our Pilates and Strength Trainer. She last year, offered the U.S. Figure Skating Stars Program, which is a standardized testing of athleticism to recognize skaters. It's a new system of fitness assessment and development, designed to support US Figure Skating existing testing and competition progressions. And we also have myself, Amanda, teaching at our camp this summer...which I'll oversee and direct the camp as well as teach classes. Our Off-Ice Classes include Ballet and last year we had a ballet instructor from the St Paul Ballet. We also had a performer from Disney on Ice come in and teach us acting and character development. So we're looking forward to a great summer of 2017 camp at the Hastings Civic Arena. Keep an eye on our website for more details and specific dates and times. Thanks and hope to see you this summer.

Flächenaufteilung

Nach Daten des Statistischen Landesamtes, Stand 2014.

Geschichte

Die alte Ordnung bis 1806
Lauchheim (Lauche = Grenzmarke; wahrscheinlich bezogen auf die schwäbisch-fränkische Grenze) liegt an einer alten Handelsstraße, die im Jagsttal verlief, dieses am Jagstknie in Lauchheim verließ und durch das Ries nach Donauwörth führte. Nördlich der Stadt wurde eine keltische Viereckschanze nachgewiesen. Westlich der späteren Stadt konnten archäologische Ausgrabungen eine früh- bis hochmittelalterliche Siedlung sowie das zugehörige Gräberfeld der Merowingerzeit fast vollständig erfassen – deutschlandweit eine einmalige Situation; die geborgenen Funde befinden sich im Alamannenmuseum Ellwangen.

1235–1485 ist ein Adelsgeschlecht bezeugt, das sich nach Burg Gromberg benannte und erster Grundherr des erstmals 1248 erwähnten Ortes war. Neben den Herren von Gromberg hatten auch die Schenken von Schenkenstein und das Kloster Ellwangen Besitz in Lauchheim.

Seit der zweiten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts erwarb der Deutsche Orden Gebiete im Bereich des oberen Jagsttals und baute Lauchheim zum Zentrum der um 1400 gegründeten Kommende aus. Diese Kommende gehörte zur Deutschordensballei Franken. 1397 wurde seitens der Stadt mit dem Bau der Befestigung begonnen, 1398 wurde die Hochgerichtsbarkeit, 1402 das Marktrecht und 1431 schließlich das Stadtrecht mit Freiheiten nach Bopfinger Vorbild erworben, wobei Lauchheim dennoch weiterhin unter der Herrschaft des Ordens blieb. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde die Stadt 1645 von französischen Truppen unter dem Duc d'Enghien zum großen Teil niedergebrannt.

Württembergische Zeit
1806 wurde der Deutsche Orden von Kaiser Napoleon aufgehoben und die Stadt sowie die Kapfenburg dem Königreich Württemberg einverleibt.

Während Hülen (ehemals der Deutschordens-Kommende zugehörig) und Röttingen (zuvor beim fürstlichen Haus Oettingen) seit 1810 zum Oberamt Neresheim gehörten, war die Kernstadt 1806 dem Oberamt Ellwangen zugeschlagen worden.

NS-Zeit
Bei der Verwaltungsreform während der NS-Zeit in Württemberg gelangte das gesamte heutige Stadtgebiet 1938 zum Landkreis Aalen.

Nachkriegszeit
Da Lauchheim und seine heutigen Stadtteile nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in die Amerikanischen Besatzungszone gerieten, gehörte das Gebiet somit seit 1945 zum neu gegründeten Land Württemberg-Baden, das 1952 im jetzigen Bundesland Baden-Württemberg aufging. Durch die Kreisreform von 1973 kam das gesamte Gebiet der heutigen Stadt zum neuen Ostalbkreis. Am 31. Dezember 1974 wurde Hülen nach Lauchheim eingemeindet. Die heutige Stadt entstand durch Vereinigung der Stadt Lauchheim mit der Gemeinde Röttingen am 1. Januar 1975.

Der Stadtfeiertag wird jedes Jahr am 4. Juli in Erinnerung an die Verleihung des Stadtrechts 1431 begangen.

Religionen

Kirchen
Die bereits 1248 bezeugte Pfarrei kam 1363 an die Deutschordenskommende Mergentheim, wurde in diese inkorporiert und 1538 an die Lauchheimer Kommende abgegeben.

In Lauchheim haben sowohl die römisch-katholische als auch die evangelische Kirche eine Pfarrei. Die katholische Stadtpfarrkirche St. Petrus und Paulus wurde von Georg von Morlok erbaut und 1868 geweiht. Die evangelische Kirchengemeinde Lauchheim-Westhausen nutzt die im Kern spätmittelalterliche Barbarakapelle.

Judentum
1658 gewährte Lauchheim gegen den Protest des katholischen Pfarrers sechs aus dem Herrschaftsgebiet der Oettinger vertriebenen Juden Asyl. 1788 lebten bereits 18 Familien mit 88 Personen im Ort. Lauchheim war zunächst selbst Sitz eines Rabbinats, dann Ellingen (bis 1806), Wallerstein (bis 1832) und Oberdorf zugeordnet. Nachdem um 1858 mit 176 Personen die höchste Zahl jüdischer Einwohner erreicht war, wanderten viele Juden ab. 1900 wurden nur noch 47, 1910 32 jüdische Lauchheimer gezählt. 1922 wurde die Gemeinde aufgelöst, die verbliebenen Juden gehörten zur Gemeinde Oberdorf. Von den sieben Juden, die 1933 vor Ort lebten, kamen sechs durch den Holocaust das Leben.

Die 1686 erwähnte Synagoge brannte 1743 durch Fahrlässigkeit, die jüdische Gemeinde wurde deswegen bestraft. 1768–1770 wurde eine neue Synagoge errichtet, die die Gemeinde 1856/1857 mit einem staatlichen Zuschuss renovierte und erweiterte. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde es immer schwieriger, die für den Gottesdienst nötige Zehnzahl zu erreichen; spätestens 1920 wurde die Synagoge geschlossen und das Gebäude 1921 verkauft. Trotzdem wurde das nicht mehr für als Synagoge nutzte Haus in den Novemberpogromen 1938 in Brand gesetzt. Das Feuer konnte aber gelöscht werden. Nach dem Krieg als Scheune genutzt, wurde das Gebäude 1965 abgerissen.

Eine jüdische Konfessionsschule wurde erstmals 1829 erwähnt, 1849/1850 kaufte die Gemeinde ein neues Gebäude und baute es zur Schule mit Gemeindesaal um; im Keller wurde eine Mikwe eingerichtet. Der Friedhof der jüdischen Gemeinde Lauchheim befand sich in Aufhausen.

As lawyers, we regularly train our clients (and their employees) about anti-harassment, anti-discrimination laws—emphasizing their responsibility to protect employees even from the bad behavior of vendors, contractors and customers. Last week, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals drove home the lesson of third-party harassment. In other words, we really mean it. The North Carolina-based case of Freeman v. Dal-Tile Corp., et al., (4th Cir. 2014) involves a plaintiff employee who claimed years of sexual and racial harassment by an independent contractor of Dal-Tile. The list of misdeeds by the independent contractor is a long one: he called the plaintiff a "black b****," regularly bragged about his sexual exploits, passed gas on the plaintiff's phone, and even used the "n" word in front of the employee. But, the District Court issued summary judgment in favor of the company, finding that the company did not know about the harassment, and that when it knew, its response was appropriate. Not so fast. Represented by Georgetown University's legal clinic, the former employee appealed. In a split decision, the Fourth Circuit reversed the summary judgment, finding that "the record is replete with evidence of frequent abusive behavior…" such that the company knew or should have known about the third-party harassment, but failed to take prompt remedial action. The Fourth Circuit adopted the same reasoning it applies to co-worker harassment: "an employer cannot avoid Title VII liability… by adopting a 'see no evil, hear no evil' strategy." The dissent acknowledged that the behavior of the third-party harasser was "coarse, crude and ugly," but noted that the company told him to stop, and then, for a lengthy period, the plaintiff and the accused worked well together. When the third-party harasser resumed his bad behavior, according to the dissenting judge, the employer intervened effectively. Based on the majority's ruling, the Fourth Circuit sent the case back to the trial court to determine whether the company is responsible for the third-party hostile environment harassment; that is, to decide if Dal-Tile responded swiftly and decisively enough once it knew of the inappropriate conduct. The eventual victor is largely immaterial; at this point, the battle itself is costly and embarrassing. We don't often see cases of third-party harassment. As employers, we cannot ignore "coarse, crude and ugly" conduct, regardless of the source, because we think it's funny, it doesn't happen often, it would alienate the customer, or (as in this case) the bad-actor is "just an a**hole." On too many levels, tolerating such behavior is bad for business.

Exposé: Tiran-Dilith And Sirisena: How The President Interfered To Prevent The Arrest Of Murder Suspect Wasantha Karannagoda
Colombo Telegraph can now reveal the shocking saga of how President Maithripala Sirisena stepped in to prevent the arrest of former Navy Commander Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda by influencing the Attorney General and the judiciary ahead of his fundamental rights petition being heard in the Supreme Court on Thursday March 7.
President Sirisena who is now in charge of Law and Order was briefed ahead of time about the AG's plans to indict Karannagoda for allegedly aiding and abetting the murders of 11 youth abducted by a Navy gang in 2008 and for deliberately concealing evidence about the abductions. The aiding and abetting murder charge being non-bailable the former Navy Commander would have been arrested by the CID once the charges framed by the AG's Department were read out to him.
Colombo Telegraph learns that following a thorough briefing on the issue by Solicitor General Dappula De Livera, President Sirisena had claimed he would not stand in the way of the law taking its course against all those who had been involved in the kidnapping and murder of the 11 youth.
The fear of being remanded drove Wasantha Karannagoda, Sri Lanka's commander of the navy during the final phase of the war into hiding from the CID by February 21 the day he was scheduled to appear before the CID. After pursuing him at two of his known residential addresses in Colombo 05 and in Kotte, the CID reported to the Fort Magistrate that Karannagoda was absconding and the Fort Magistrate impounded the former Commander's passport and ordered the Controller General of Immigration to stop him from leaving the island.
While being a fugitive from justice Karannagoda used his high-end legal team led by President's Counsel Romesh De Silva to file a petition in Supreme Court on 22 February trying to block his arrest by the CID. Romesh De Silva PC has become the lawyer of choice for suspects in high profile criminal and corruption investigations who want to get their arrest by law enforcement agencies blocked. When the case initially came up on February 28 Supreme Court Justice Priyantha Jayawardane recused himself from the case claiming that he had once appeared for Karannagoda while he was practicing as a private lawyer. But before he recused himself Justice Jayawardane tried to get the AG to agree to give an undertaking to Romesh De Silva that his client Wasantha Karannagoda would not be arrested by the CID until the case was taken up again on 7 March. The AG flatly refused to give this undertaking to Court which meant that if the CID found the former Navy Commander between February 28 and March 7, Karannagoda could still be arrested. The AG was represented in the Supreme Court on February 28 by Additional Solicitor General Viraj Dayaratne.
The former Navy Commander continued to remain in hiding from the law.
On 6 March the eve of Karannagoda's case in Supreme Court businessmen and media captains Tiran Alles and Dilith Jayaweera met President Sirisena. Both Alles and Jayaweera are members of Team Gotabaya. Both are under criminal investigation themselves for financial dealings during the Mahinda Rajapaksa presidency.
During the meeting with Sirisena, Alles and Jayaweera begged the President to request the CID not to arrest Wasantha Karannagoda. They told him that if Karannagoda was arrested he would not be able to get bail due to the seriousness of the charge.
President Sirisena offered to speak to the Attorney General's Department on the ex-Navy Commander's behalf. While offering to speak with the AG, President Sirisena quipped to Jayaweera and Alles: "Those two (AG and SG) are constantly running to me asking me for promotions to the Supreme Court. I can talk to them".
After the meeting with Alles and Jayaweera, Sirisena spoke with Attorney General Jayasuriya and instructed him that the AG's Department should not insist on the arrest of the former Navy Commander.
Dilith Jayaweera
Accordingly the next morning – 7 March – shortly before the case was due to come up in Supreme Court, Attorney General relayed the President's instructions to the state attorneys who would represent the CID in the case filed by Karannagoda. The message was clear – there was no longer a need to insist on arrest.
Meanwhile based on his chat with Sirisena on Wednesday Alles relayed the information the President had given him that the AG and SG were angling for promotions to the Supreme Court.
A shrewd litigator, Romesh De Silva was well aware that Justice Buvaneka Aluvihare who was presiding that day was entertaining hopes of becoming the next Chief Justice. A promotion of Attorney General Jayasuriya to the Supreme Court could stymie those plans since an AG can be elevated to CJ automatically.
Tiran Alles
Last Thursday 7 March Romesh De Silva PC appearing with attorneys Sugath Caldera and Niran Anketell made submissions for two hours and 10 minutes. His first salvo – which lawyers said were aimed at immediately prejudicing the bench – was to tell the three judges that the AG and the SG were seeking promotions as judges of the Supreme Court. The situation was a "disgrace" he said and that AG's Department was not what it used to be.
He then launched an attack against the CID, calling their investigation politically motivated and even referring to CID IP Nishantha Silva as the "hangman". Distorting facts reported in CID B reports and claiming that the former Navy Commander could have got away with murder in May 2008 because he and his men were war heroes but had still chosen to make a complaint to the police De Silva said his patriotic blood was boiling because of how the CID had conducted its investigation to implicate "the man who won the war for us".
Officials from the AG's Department remained silent throughout the vicious attack on the AG and the CID never even protesting against De Silva's malicious claims against their own boss. ASG Dayaratne also never saw fit to defend CID IP Nishantha Silva the first respondent in Karannagoda's petition, whose counsel he was supposed to be.
Instead all the false facts reported to court about frivolous charges against Karannagoda, the lack of evidence, the former navy commander's actual role in the sordid story of how men under his command abducted and killed boys from rich families for ransom were never corrected for the court record.
At one point Justice Surasena even asked the AG if there was really enough evidence to indict Karannagoda since Romesh De Silva had painted a shocking picture about a shaky case that the ASG with all the facts the CID had given their 'legal team' never tried to counter or set straight.
In fact ASG Dayaratne told court that the AG's primary interest in the case was not the arrest of a suspect hiding from the law and wanted on a charge of aiding and abetting the murder of 11 young boys.
The surreal day in Court ended with Romesh De Silva having his way with the three-judge bench of the Supreme Court. Led by Justice Buvanekha Aluvihare the bench refused to allow President's Counsel J.C. Weliamuna who was appearing on behalf of the mother of one of the abducted boys to make submissions in the case. The judges appeared to be so pliant towards De Silva that they even allowed him to make changes to the order.
All three justices who heard the case were former judge advocate generals who had served on military tribunals when they were officials at the AG's department.
In the face of Sirisena's blatant interference in the process of justice and his unashamed partisanship towards members of the former Rajapaksa regime the UNP Government has chosen complete silence. Despite the 19th Amendment's best efforts to make the Office of the Attorney General independent by preventing his removal except through a Resolution of parliament the AG's Department remains a pliant institution ever willing to be manipulated by those wielding political power.
Update: Contacting Colombo Telegraph after this report was published Jayaweera denied meeting President Sirisena. The media boss said that he had not met President Sirisena in many months. He also claimed that he was not under investigation.
However several sources confirmed the meeting between the two businessmen and the President. Jayaweera was also present in court on both dates that the Karannagoda's FR petition came up. On the 7th media reports said Jayaweera's mobile telephone had been on during the hearing. When the SC judges were ordering the date and time at which Karannagoda was to present himself before the CID it was Jayaweera who confirmed that Monday at 9AM will be suitable for the former Navy Commander. Dilith Jayaweera and Admiral Karannagoda are known to be close associates.
Jayaweera's claim that he was not under investigation is also false. Jayaweera was investigated for stock market manipulation through the infamous pump and dump schemes by the FCID in 2015. But after the sacked former FCID boss DIG Ravi Waidyalankara began making "deals" with criminal and crooked elements of the Rajapaksa regime he concluded the case.
In 2015 the Colombo Magistrate's Court ordered a full report on the controversial share transactions of then SEC Chairman Nalaka Godahewa, Dilith Jayaweera, Sarvajana Anandaraj Ameresekere and Varuni Amungama who is Jayaweera's business partner at TRIAD and Derana. Jayaweera and several other high net worth investors are under scrutiny by various law enforcement agencies for alleged involvement in share price manipulation and insider trading at the Colombo Stock Exchange. A FCID case into alleged share manipulation by Citrus Leisure, the company headed by Jayaweera has been referred to the Attorney General as well as several other Securities and Exchange Commission related cases that have implicated the media boss.

Make sure your preferred external edit capable text editor has been seen or booted by the RISC OS Filer.
For compilation, your preferred C development tools must be available to the DrWimpC App Builder. This is either GCC 4, currently version 4.1.2. rel 1, or the ROOL C Tools.
The OSLib header files are required since DrWimpC library uses the same type definitions as OSLib to avoid duplication of effort. If you want to use the OSLib functions for the C swi interface then include the OSLib library too (ROOL C Tools only at the moment). The OSLib SetVars Obey file defines the OSLib include and library path, and so must be run prior to using it in DrWimpC App Builder (or any other compilation).
If you want to start template edits from DrWimpC App Builder then a template editor must have been seen by the filer. Note that the OLE protocol is used to perform the edits. If you don't have an OLE support module on your system or your version doesn't handle the template edit, you can use the alternative !MyOLE application and module that is supplied as an additional tool on this website.
2.The !DRWDEF zip archive is split into three parts to keep the maximum upload and download zip file sizes as small as possible. All three parts are required to run DrWimpC App Builder. The preferred install location is to install to the same directory that contains the GCC 4 !Sharedlibs. Drag each part of !DRWDEF from the zip archive into the directory.
3. Install !DrWimpC by dragging it from the zip archive to a suitable directory (e.g. Top level or $.Apps). Double clicking on the !DrWimpC icon should load the DrWimpC App Builder ready to use. You should see the main application projects window at the top of the screen. You can now create a new application, or edit an existing one.
4. Before using !DrWimpC reboot your system so that the !DrWimpC, !DRWDEF and DRW system variables are set up correctly.
b. !MyOLE - an alternative OLE edit module provided in case the standard RISC OS OLESupport module is not available. To use it, drag it from the zip archive to the same directory that you copied !DRWDEF into so that it will have been seen by the Filer before it is used by the DrWimpC App Builder. !MyOLE contains sufficient functionality to start, monitor and complete the OLE template edit.
c. !StrongHelp for displaying the DrWimpC library API. The latest OMAP compatible version is available from this link:StrongHelp 2.86.
d. A web browser to display HTML Help files.
Double-clicking on the !DrWimpC icon starts DrWimpC App Builder., and opens its main projects window, illustrated below, in this case showing two applications in the list. You can drag other DrWimpC applications into the window and select which one you want to work on. The list is remembered the next time DrWimpC is loaded. This window is opened when !DrWimpC is started or by select-clicking on the !DrWimpC iconbar icon.
You can drag existing applications created using DrWimpC App Builder into the Applist and <SELECT> it to work on it.
The example Project Window shows two applications in the list, an existing application, the !MyDesk test application and a new application (which I happened to call !NewApp) which when created in DrWimpC App Builder becomes the currently selected application and the action menus opened by <SELECT>ing from the Project, App, Compile, etc buttons apply to it.
We all like to get going as soon as possible, so now is a good time to describe how easy it is to start building an application using the DrWimpC App Builder. So here's how to create the NewApp application using DrWimpC App Builder.
Select the 'App' item in the project window above to open the app menu, shown to the right of this text. The menu will open directly below the 'App' icon. Select the highlighted New App ... item to open the New Application definition box.
To icon to a filer window, or to a file system icon on the icon bar.
Only the application name and location are necessary to create the new application.
If the New Application definition is accepted a large Options window will open. At this stage these can be left at the default values, and you can close the window. The new application path will have been added to the list in the projects window and selected as the current project you are working on, as shown above.
A number of default files are created inside the application directory including a Resources directory containing a UK territory directory with a default template file. and iconbar menu definition. If you want to examine the directory either <Shift> click on the new application icon in the filer window of the location you stored the new application definition or use the 'App' menu form the projects window 'App' item and select the 'Open ...' item.
and contains such things as a default templates file and defined menus list.
'Compile' icon in the projects window.
For a successful compilation the correct compile options must be selected. The default set of options is to compile for GCC 4 building any libraries as shared, and linking with shared libraries. If you are using the ROOL C tools you must adjust these options. In particular you should unset the Shared/Debug flag in the compile menu. It has a different meaning for GCC 4 and the ROOL tools. For GCC 4 it indicates if DrWimpC App Builder should generate make files to build shared libraries (flag is ticked) or static libraries (flag is unticked). For the ROOL C tools it indicates if diagnostic information should be generated during the compile (flag ticked), or not (flag unticked) - i.e.it controls whether DrWimpC App Builder includes the -g option in the compiler flags, and -d in the link flags when it generates the make files for the compilation.. In addition to adjusting the Shared/Debug flag for the ROOL C tools you must set the compiler to 'ROOL' in the DevOpts dialogue as shown below. The dialogue hangs off the 'Dev Choices' item of the Compile menu - shown to the right of this text.
To switch between the two supported tool sets select the compiler you want to use. The other flags will be automatically adjusted to reflect your selection. The dialogue box shows the settings for the ROOL C Tools. Just select the 'ROOL' button and 'Accept' to set the flags for the current session or until you change it again, (or 'Set As Default' so that the settings will be used now and in the future when you load the project into DrWimpC App Builder).
thoughts of mixing the use GNU make and GCC drlink with the Castle/ROOL compiler, and vice-versa. This is out of date and just selecting 'ROOL' or 'GCC' will automatically select the chosen tools make, libfile (GCC/Ar), etc tool. Although there is a GCC 4 flag, I have decided not to include support for GCC 3.4.6 after all, but I've left the flag, just in case.
The link shared flag is used to indicate whether a GCC 4 compilation should link with shared libraries if present (flag set), or force the use of static libraries (flag unset).
Setting the use SCL flag indicates that GCC should compile and link for the SharedClibrary.
default main window should appear in the centre of the screen, and an iconbar icon for the new application should be present on the iconbar. A default iconbar menu will also be created and can be opened by selecting menu while the mouse pointer is over the iconbar icon..
Some Of The Default Items Created.

Review: Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year, Volume 4 on Love Bytes: LGBTQ Book Reviews
Cleis Press will always be a must-read publisher for me. Their anthologies never fail me, and they always strive for excellence at all cost. This is my first book in the lesbian erotica collection, and I am eager to see how it has evolved over the years—and how it continues to do so.
This is a diverse book, much more diverse and inclusive than it would have been 15 or 20 years ago. Check out any lesbian erotica collection from the early 2000s and you'll find a lot of classic butches, blonde femmes, champagne kisses, and relatively tame scenes of oral sex and fingering. And who can say those aren't hot as hell? But there's so much more out there, and it is uncovered in every story here. To name just a few that may interest you, there are trans femme love interests ("Do Tell"), characters over 50 ("Pinked", "Love Remembers"), characters with chronic pain and disabilities ("Pleasure With Her Pain," "What I Want"), and non-binary and GNC characters ("Of Sword and Sorcery," "The Butler, the Flapper, and the Stable Boy").
Most of the stories are unique in setting and tone. There's the classic scenarios of role-playing ("The Butler, the Flapper, and the Stable Boy"), gang-banging ("My Sweet Femme Nightmare"), and older-character-teaching-younger ("Modern Lovers (You Probably Haven't Heard of Them)"), but each story has an element that makes it quintessentially lesbian. There are a few parts that veered closely to the male-gaze (the exhibitionism in "Leviathan," the objectification in "All Dolled Up"), but even in those stories, there's something about those porn-level acts that are so shockingly different when only women are participating. It feels more secret, even more taboo. Yes, we can like these things, even if the porn industry has twisted them into something they are not. It's so freeing to read—nothing is off-limits, no matter what blog or websites tells you otherwise. But don't worry, this is all in good, safe fun—there's a ton of enthusiastic consent and communication, which we all know is necessary, but can also be unbearably sexy.
Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year Volume 4 featured on Publisher's Weekly
"Sexsmith (editor of the Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica anthology) brings together 20 new and familiar voices in a wide-ranging celebration of Sapphic love and sexuality. Some of these tales are delightfully playful and rooted in reality, as with Avery Cassell's "Pinked," which features an elderly lesbian couple, one of whom finds a way to tease and torment her partner via her latest sewing project, and "Good Girls Do" by Marie Carlson, set in the tack room of a stable but featuring a different kind of riding. Others explore racier sexual fantasies, as with the anonymous encounter of "Gina, Across the Tracks" by Fallen Matthews and the steamy vacation sex of "Adventure in Palm Springs" by Dorothy Freed. Sweetly vanilla stories alternate with tales of couples delving into kink, from the relatively mild dom/sub dynamic of Olivia Dromen's "All Dolled Up" to Xan West's depictions of more intense sadism and masochism, including knife play and punching, in "Crave." Though not every tale is as polished as one might expect from previous volumes, there is enough variety and spiciness to please most readers. (Dec.)"
Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year, Volume 4 on MI Book Reviews
I got an ARC of this book.
This is an amazing anthology.
Remember how just a few days ago, I said I would lose my mind if dental dams were used. This book CAME SO CLOSE. Dental dams were mentioned, but they were not used. I had so much hope. So it was one small detail away from perfection.
Seriously. It was that good. The stories met all of my criteria for good erotica. They were full of consent, full of safety (except for the dental dam issue), and there were scenes that emphasized how bodies work. One of my favorite scenes featured an older woman who used lube for any form of penetration, since her body just didn't get wet like it used to. YES. This detail was just perfection. I loved that an older woman was the star of an erotic story and that her body was treated with respect and it normalized the idea that bodies change as people age.
Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year Volume 4 Book Review from @kleffnotes on The Nerdy Girl Express
Award winning editor Sinclair Sexsmith has put together a collection of stories from a refreshingly diverse group of individuals of various genders and identities in the fourth volume of Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year. These multi-talented authors showcase a variety of diverse stories that include anything from a mysterious warrior at a Renaissance Faire to a fantasy speed dating night. While each story is tremendously different each of them showcases what it feels like to fully step into one's own power and feel deeply in your own body.
In opening this new addition to the Cleis Anthology series, Sexsmith discusses how writing erotica can be used as a way of creating your own identity. While you may not know it you have probably in some way written some form of erotica, whether it was in a slightly racy text to a partner or even just in writing down what you've experienced or even hope to experience. While society primarily shares heterosexual ideas of sexuality this series brings forward queer identities and romance, which allows people to see themselves in new ways. The first story, "Do Tell," involves the element of speed dating, but with a twist. Instead of just talking about yourself pairings are based on Tempters and Temptees. The Tempters much paint a word picture of what they would do with the Temptee. They must make it through different rounds, this story ends with two of the women from this pansexual speed dating event experiencing the described first date involving chocolate covered strawberries and a night of wild pleasure. The story is well written and showcases different identities and preferences, which is a great way to start off the book.
"Of Sword and Sorcery," the other story I mentioned in my intro, includes a character who uses gender neutral pronouns. The two primary characters of the story are incredibly attracted to each other and are able to indulge their desires in the woods near the faire they are attending. They though do not leave each other after this one rendezvous and instead want to spend more time with each other, the end notes that this may just be the beginning. In "Pleasure with her Pain" Kate enjoys session with Nina where she is submissive, but Nina begins to pick up that something might be wrong. While Kate wants to be with her and have these experiences she is bruising more easily and Nina is picking up on issues in the room. There is a love there that surpasses what the two women are doing and while Kate struggles with steady relationships, Nina is there for her and is always looking out for her. While yes, there is sex in this story, the intimacy between the two women is what really speaks through. Nina is there for Kate no matter what and is ultimately always looking out for her safety and well being. Each of the stories in this book showcase different elements of eroticism and while some are focused on sex, many examine societal and personal issues connected to the characters as well. This isn't just a book of steamy stories, but rather an experience for all those who chose to read it.


Pittsburgh Paints 206-1, Tint of Green.
Sherwin Williams SW 6190, Filmy Green.
Benjamin Moore HC-140, Prescott Green.
Tint of Green was a good match for an inspiration picture I've been loving on for awhile now. Filmy Green was a much lighter version of the color we already had (and liked). Prescott Green caught my eye on The Decorologist — a color she uses beautifully in her own home.
I was expecting to be seduced by the perfect green out of these three finalists.
"Pick me," our paint would whisper alluringly.
"Your expectations were overstated," gloated Oscar.
…paint sample FAIL. Instead of being drawn to the most beautiful of three tempting tones, I was confronted with three colors that, while lovely in other settings, just did not look like they would work in our room. Just to complicate matters, I ran out and picked up two more samples: Benjamin Moore HC-141, Hollingsworth Green, and HC-120, Van Alen Green. Those went up as well, and then I let everything get good and dry before peeking again.
Prescott Green is probably out — it's not as clean and pretty in our room as it is at the Decorologist's place.
Tint of Green is a pale green, but it is kind of ELECTRIC(!!!) in artificial light, so it's probably out.
Filmy Green…I like it…it's a little boring…maybe boring is good? I don't know.
Van Alen Green and Hollingsworth Green — both bear further observation (and maybe bigger swatches).
Why stop at five (5!) samples?! Anyone have suggestions?

Greenville mental health advocate faces domestic violence charges

Greenville police arrested a local mental health advocate following two domestic incidents in a span of four days.
John Paton Blough, 42, was charged Thursday with second-degree domestic violence and assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct third degree, according to arrest warrants.
Blough, of East Montclair Avenue in Greenville, was charged after a woman and witnesses told police that Blough came to her job on Aug. 23 "in an irate manner," followed her to her car and caused her to fear for her safety, an arrest warrant said.

She told police that he blocked her vehicle with his, pulled it forward and reversed it numerous times, slamming into her vehicle as she stood next to it, the warrant said.
As the woman was giving police her report about the events on Aug. 23, she also included in her written statement that on Aug. 20 the man "did assault her with the intent to engage in sexual conduct" inside a Greenville residence, a warrant said. Blough demanded sex and used his body weight to hold her down as she repeatedly told him no, according to the warrant.
She said he stopped upon hearing the screaming of a child outside of a door in the home, the warrant said.
Blough was being held at the Greenville County jail on a $15,000 bond as of Friday afternoon.

Blough, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, is a public speaker and advocate of mental health and criminal justice reform. He is also a member of the South Carolina board of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Blough founded Greenville-based Rehinge, which exists to "provide hope, education and spiritual inspiration for all people affected with mental health issues and to fight stigma while pushing for global mental health reform," according to Rehinge's website.
Blough has used his story of past struggles with bipolar disorder to demonstrate how to properly handle an individual in crisis and to show that recovery is possible, according to a press release this month that announced him as the keynote speaker at the Crisis Intervention Team International Conference in Kansas City, Missouri.
Blough had a three-year period between 2005 and 2008 where he was arrested six times and placed in a mental hospital six times while experiencing a mental health crisis, the press release said.
In March 2017, Blough announced his intent to run for the 4th District Congressional seat occupied by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy. It was the second time that Blough stated his intention to run for the office.
