You are not required to have a lawyer draft a will for you, and most people do not need a lawyer's help to make a basic will — one that leaves a home, investments, and personal items to your loved ones, and, if you have young children, that names a guardian to take care of them. Creating a basic will rarely involves complicated legal rules, and most people can create their own will with the aid of a good software program or book. But if you have questions that aren't answered by the resource you're relying on, or your situation is unusual, it may be worth it to see a good lawyer.
I don't have much property. Can't I just make a handwritten will?
Handwritten, unwitnessed wills, called "holographic" wills, are legal in about 25 states. To be valid, a holographic will must be written and signed in the handwriting of the person making the will; in some states it must also be dated. Some states allow you to use a fill-in-the-blanks form if the rest of the will is handwritten and the will is properly dated and signed.
A holographic will is better than nothing if it's valid in your state. But a will signed in front of witnesses is better. If a holographic will goes before a probate court, the court may be unusually strict when examining it to be sure it's legitimate. And if you don't have guidance — from a good self-help resource or a good lawyer — it's easy to write something that turns out to be ambiguous or even contrary to what you intended.
Yes. If both parents of a child die or become otherwise unable to care for a minor child, another adult — called a "personal guardian" — must step in. The personal guardian will be responsible for raising your children until they become legal adults. You and the child's other parent can use your wills to nominate someone to fill this position. To avert conflicts, you should both name the same person.
Name a property guardian. You can simply name a property guardian to manage whatever property the child inherits, if there's no other mechanism (a trust, for example) to handle it. The guardian will manage the property until the child reaches the age of 18.
Name a custodian under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA). In every state except South Carolina and Vermont, you can choose a custodian to manage property you are leaving to a child. The custodian will step in to manage the property until the child reaches the age specified by your state's law — 18 in a few states, 21 in most, 25 in several others.
Set up a trust for each child. You can use your will to create a trust for any property the child inherits and to name a trustee to handle the trust property until the child reaches the age you specify.
Set up a "pot trust." If you have more than one child, you may want to set up just one trust for all of them. This arrangement is usually called a pot trust. You name a trustee to decide what each child needs and to spend money accordingly.
Disinheriting spouses. The law protects surviving spouses from being left with nothing. If you live in a community property state (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, or Wisconsin — or Alaska if you have made a written community property agreement), your spouse automatically owns half of all the property and earnings (with a few exceptions) acquired by either of you during your marriage. You can leave your half of the community property, and your separate property, to anyone you choose. In all other states, a surviving spouse has a legal right to claim a portion of your estate, no matter what your will provides. But these provisions kick in only if your spouse goes to court and claims that share. If you don't plan to leave at least half of your property to your spouse, either through your will or outside it, you should consult a lawyer — unless your spouse willingly consents in writing to your plan.
Disinheriting children. Generally, it's perfectly legal to disinherit a child. If, however, it appears that you didn't mean to disinherit a child — the most common example is a child born after you made your will — then the child has the right to claim part of your property.
Very few wills are ever challenged in court. When they are, it's usually by a close relative who feels somehow cheated out of a share of the deceased person's property. To get an entire will invalidated, someone must go to court and prove that it suffers from a fatal flaw: the signature was forged, you weren't of sound mind when you made the will, or you were unduly influenced by someone.

Holocaust 'Book of Names' to be Inaugurated at the UN Underscores…
Jewish Faculty Boycott JMU's Holocaust Commemoration Event
German Dictionary Changes Definition of 'Jew' After Jewish Community Complaints

A German dictionary entry for the word "Jew" has been changed after members of the country's Jewish community complained that the definition was problematic.
The definition offered by the Duden dictionary, once of the most authoritative German dictionaries, had included a note that the term is sometimes used as a derogatory slur in addition to being the simplest way of referring to Jews. But German Jews pushed back against the inclusion of the use of the word "Jew" as a slur, saying the term is the correct one and should be used without qualification.
"Even if 'Jew' is used pejoratively in schoolyards or only hesitantly by some people, and the Duden editors are certainly well-meaning in pointing out this context, everything should be done to avoid solidifying the term as discriminatory," Joseph Schuster, the head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told the Associated Press.
The entry was updated Monday and included the Central Council of Jews in Germany's approval of the use of the term.
The word "Jew" has long been considered by some, especially non-Jews, to be derogatory, leading some to instead prefer the adjective "Jewish" to the more succinct or blunt noun, "Jew." Jewish institutions in previous eras also adopted alternatives to the word "Jew" in their names, preferring terms like "Hebrew" and "Israelite."
Sarah Bunin Benor, a professor at Hebrew Union College who writes about Jews and language, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in 2020 that people have historically avoided using the word "Jew" to avoid sounding antisemitic, even though the word is not inherently derogatory.
"Many people assume that it's a slur because they know that Jews are historically a stigmatized group, so they're concerned about using it because they don't want to sound offensive," she said.

Q: Sending an HTTP PUT request with a parameter in C# I have a tika server open on my PC, and I need to send it a request with a string parameter which is a path for a file I want tika to process. The code I have so far is:
private void getFromServer(string fileName)
{
    var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:9998/rmeta");
    httpWebRequest.Accept = "application/json";
    httpWebRequest.Method = "PUT";
    httpWebRequest.KeepAlive = true;

    using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
    {
        string postData = @"C:\Users\######\Downloads\elasticsearch\elasticsearch-1.7.1.zip";
        byte[] byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postData);

        string json = postData;

        streamWriter.Write(json);
    }
    var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
    using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
    {
        var responseText = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
        //Now you have your response.
        //or false depending on information in the response
        console.write(responseText);
    }
}

The thing is, the server gets the request, but it returns the string I sent it instead of the contents of the file in question, and I know it can work because I sent it the same request using a cURL command and it worked. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

LyingStar: Buhari's INEC Commissioner Nominee and the screening saga | The #YNaijaCover
Cover Stories, Satire
July 8, 2021 | Temidayo Taiwo-Sidiq
Temidayo Taiwo-Sidiq
Lauretta Onochie, a Senior Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, appeared before the Senate Committee on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Thursday. During her screening as National Commissioner representing Delta State, she acknowledged the flurry of petitions against her nomination but dismissed them as attacks against her being an apostle of justice and fairness.
According to her: "I have seen the petitions against me, but I stand for justice and fairness. Thus, nobody has anything to fear. I am madam due process and this is the reason behind my attacks, because I follow the law and due process."
When asked if she belongs to any political party, Onochie claimed that she quit partisan politics following President Muhammadu Buhari's re-election in 2019.
"Since Buhari was elected as president for the second term, I have removed myself from everything about politics.
"Since 2019, I don't have anything to do with politics. As I am sitting down here, I am not a member of any political party in this country."
Onochie told the Senators
While tons of criticisms have trailed her position before the Senators, reports emerged Thursday that she still has so much to do with the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), thus rendering her testimony as falsehood.
Part of these counter claims include a tweet by the Presidential aide on June 24, 2020, where she said the APC was growing through a growth process.
"There is DEFINITELY an APC e-NEC meeting TOMORROW. We are going through a growth process. Thank you everyone," she tweeted.
Also, another document making her claim questionable is a viral affidavit which she swore on June 30, 2021, at the FCT High Court, Abuja; clearly indicating that she remains a member of the APC and a member of The Buhari Support Organisation (BSO).
"I am also a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress and a volunteer at Buhari Support Organization," part of the affidavit read.
Accusations of nepotistic appointments by the Buhari Administration along the lines of tribe and region has become common knowledge among Nigerians; at least for political watchers. In spite of this, the administration has continued in that trajectory, damning every legal or moral consequences of taking such decisions.
It is also a fair assessment of this government to state that where these appointments aren't frowned out for being nepotistic, they are usually marred by controversies to the point that they challenge the strength of the country's laws. A key example is the appointment of Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (a retired military officer and Secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum) as Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) in August 2015. In 2017, he had a confrontation with the Nigerian Senate over his refusal to appear in uniform.
Other examples include the retention of Ibrahim Magu, as Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) despite the Senate's rejection of his nomination, the extension of tenure for Mohammed Adamu, the immediate past Inspector General of Police (IGP) by three months; having spent the maximum 35 years in service.
Asides extending the tenure of the immediate past Service Chiefs against the provisions of the Armed Forces Act, President Buhari is reputed to have sent the names of at least, nine deceased Nigerians for consideration by the Senate, as nominees to be appointed into the governing boards of federal government agencies and parastatals in 2017 and 2020.
Nonetheless, none of these appointments and nominations appear more brazen than the nomination of a Presidential media aide as a National Commissioner at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Since October 2020 when her name was read amongst other nominees sent by the President for the vacant position of National Commissioners pursuant to paragraph 14 of part 1f of the first schedule of the 1999 constitution, there have been series of protests (across the media and streets) challenging same.
Similarly, several Civil Society Organisations have approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/604/2021, asking it to determine whether the president "can nominate a card-carrying member or members of his political party or any other political party in Nigeria, as a national commissioner or resident electoral commissioner for the independent national electoral commission." Their argument is that the appointment is contrary to sections 14 (2a), 14 (3), 14 (3b), 14 (4) and Section 154 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended in 2011).
It remains therefore an insensitive action by all shades and standards that a leader who promised to belong to all, and to none, to put personal or partisan interests above the interest of millions of Nigerians who desire the improvement of the electoral process to reignite their belief in the project Nigeria.
We must ask the supporters and enablers of such an action as this "what logic supports a democratically elected president to show low regards for the sanctity of the electoral commission and the rule of law to elevate a very controversial aide to the status of a minister at the electoral umpire temple?"

Olympiacos, 2018-2022
I always wanted to walk my own path, without a leg-up from anyone else.
Even if you've spent your whole life playing football, you're not ready to train a big club at the very start of your coaching career. That's why I decided to begin my journey at the bottom, in the Portuguese third flight. União de Lamas, Lusitânia, Espinho: these are small teams with modest aims, but they made me the manager I am today.
I had started taking coaching courses at 28, six years before retiring as a player. And I had spent time as assistant to José Couceiro at Vitória de Guimarães, Porto and Belenenses. But my real education came in those first few years out on my own.
Honestly, having that time and space away from the spotlight was vital for me. I was able to develop my own methodology, and not just copy what I had studied in the classes. I learned lessons that have stuck with me ever since: how to manage a group, how to find solutions for certain problems, how to develop my process and philosophy.
There were some really difficult moments, but they taught me to dig in – and to be creative.
Virginie Lefour/EuroFootball/Getty Images
Here's an example from União de Lamas. The team trained at night, because some of the players worked during the day. When I arrived at the club, in September or October, we only had daylight until six in the evening. And the stadium didn't have floodlights.
There was a dusty gravel pitch next to it, which did have some lights. So we only had about half an hour on the grass before it got dark, and then we had to do tactical work on the gravel pitch.
Today, now I'm used to managing top-flight teams, that situation is unthinkable. But I had to adapt, and make sure my players were ready to perform every Sunday despite the obstacles. It was a learning process, but I'm a much better coach today for having had experiences like that.
Those were important years for me, and I have no regrets.
"When I was taking my coaching courses, you could see his fingerprints in all the materials"
After Espinho, I went to Marítimo. But not to manage the senior side; no, I took charge of the B team. People said that I was crazy. They were second bottom of the third division with eight games of the season to go, and had an abysmal points total. Even members of my own family asked why I was going there. I knew it was a risky move, but I went anyway.
We won seven of those eight remaining matches, and drew the other one. We finished eighth in the league. Carlos Pereira, the Marítimo president, saw the potential I had, and gave me the chance to manage the first team the following season. That was my big break. My gamble had paid off; I had proved myself on my own terms.
post_content_with_related_articles_flex
I don't think many people would be able to describe my teams. I want my players to be adaptable, and as comfortable as possible at every moment of the game: attacks, transitions, defence. That's what I aim for. I prepare my team for every moment. But I consider myself to be a coach of attacking football.
I can name a number of coaches who have shaped my approach, each in his own unique fashion. Take Octávio Machado, who I played under at Sporting. He was a quiet man, but really good at forming a cohesive group, with a focus on collective goals.
I also learned a lot from Couceiro, who was my coach at Alverca before we worked together. He was a natural-born communicator, comfortable speaking in front of big groups and excellent in press conferences.
"You have objectives, like reaching the Europa League, but you also have to sell players"
Carlos Queiroz was also a big influence. He was responsible for a big leap forward in coaching methods in Portugal. I first met him when I was 17, when he was Portugal youth coach, and even then you could tell he was completely different. Years later, when I was taking my courses, you could see his fingerprints in all the materials.
Carlos brought about a complete revolution in Portuguese football, with better physical preparation and a more holistic approach. I was lucky enough to be in the system, observing those changes.
Then there was Quinito, who I played for at Vitória. In terms of man-management and interacting with the group, he was fantastic. He was so good at taking care of the mental side of the game. The way he transmitted so much positive energy to his players was unique.
Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty Images
One story captures his outlook perfectly. It was late in the season and the team was going through a crisis. We were playing well, but just not getting the results. We were on the bus, travelling to a game, and he got out his little metal suitcase. He dug in among his socks and boxer shorts, and brought out a bottle of champagne and plastic cups.
He said to us: "It doesn't matter what anyone else says. I'm certain we're going to win this match. So certain that I'm going to open this champagne now, for everyone to drink."
It was only an hour or two before kick-off!
But I think we all understood his message. We ended up winning the game.
"I'm at a club with massive ambitions, and that suits me. But there are still challenges"
I try to instil confidence in my players in a similar way. Part of that is being prepared to put faith in young players. If they have the quality, I have no reservations about putting them in the team. A good example is Ederson (above), who shone in my first season at Rio Ave before moving to Benfica. I also took chances on Moussa Marega and Tiquinho Soares, both of whom are now doing well at Porto.
The youth policy worked especially well at Marítimo. A lot of the kids I had coached in the B team moved up to the senior side; within four years, the vast majority of players in my squad were academy graduates. And Marítimo were able to sell a number of them for good money.
That financial side is important in Portugal, especially outside the Big Three – Porto, Benfica and Sporting. It's difficult to compete with them; you have to believe in your work, be dedicated to your philosophy.
You have objectives, such as reaching the Europa League – something we managed at Marítimo, Rio Ave and Vitória – but you also have to sell players. I left every club in a healthy position financially, and also reached three finals in eight years. When you're managing smaller clubs, this is a big achievement.
Marco Luzzani/Getty Images
The situation is different at Olympiacos, because they're the biggest club in Greece. I'm at a club with massive ambitions, and that suits me. But there are still challenges.
Almost 20 players left last year, so we've had to form a new, young team. People quickly understood what I'm trying to achieve. I feel good here, too: I always knew that I would manage abroad sooner or later, and it has been an important step for my personal development.
But I'll never forget where it all started: at the bottom. I knew it would be tough building my reputation further down the pyramid, but I also thought it would bring me more pleasure. I was right about that.
Would I do the same again, knowing all that I know now? Absolutely. I'm profoundly grateful for those experiences.

If you take a close look, you'll notice that the chair you've been ensconced on for two hours has multiple, and quite disturbing discolorations dotting the surface of the vinyl. When you bring it to the attention of the office staff, don't let them convince you, it's only the latest, and most up-to-date, multi-colored patterns from the mind of Martha Stewart. Those green and black splotches are infectious bacteria deposited by runny nosed kids, which have multiplied exponentially, into gigantic, disease-spreading colonies.
How many of you have ever gotten writer's cramp, or worse yet, carpal tunnel syndrome from filling out paperwork in a doctor's waiting room? Have any of you ever been able to fill out all the information without help? It's almost impossible for any sane human being to remember their complete medical history. I'm lucky to remember my wife's birthday, and our anniversary, let alone some obscure childhood disease. Luckily, I had my cell phone handy. I needed to make some calls, but I think I got everything. Some of my conversations went like this."Hey mom, I have a question. Did I ever have chicken pox?" "Honey, I'm at the doctors. Was that the second or fourth metacarpal bone of my index finger, I broke on our honeymoon?" I even called Mr. McGinty, my ninth-grade gym teacher, to ask if it was my right or left collarbone, I broke playing touch football.
Have you ever had the receptionist tell you, the doctor was running late? What do they mean by he's running late? If I looked out the window, would I see, a tightly bunched group of fit medical professionals, wearing velvet jogging suits and Nike running shoes, as they raced towards the clinic?
As I was intently reading, and furiously scribbling down notes, I happened to glance down at a nearby Newsweek Magazine with a front-page headline that said, "Japanese Bomb Pearl Harbor." Oh, my God – not again! I jumped up, changed the television channel to the news, hoping to get some information on the tragic events. I needed to know if there were any casualties, and possibly learn more information about some distant relatives who live in Honolulu. It was only then, I noticed the magazine had an issue date of December, 1941. I told you the magazines were outdated.
Whenever I go to the doctor's, I always wonder about some things. How come there is only one television, it doesn't have a remote controller, it's too high to reach, the volume is too low, and it's always turned on to The View? Why, when there are dozens of empty seats, does the man who may have tuberculosis, or the five kids who look like they possibly have some rare, and debilitating form of leprosy, sit right next to you? What's with the thick plexiglass window with the tiny opening, separating the person behind the desk from the patients? They must know the office is a cesspool of bacteria and germs. Why, when I go to the doctors for a routine exam, do I always end up getting sick? How come those scales at the doctor's office always say you're ten pounds heavier than your scale at home?
Thanks Dennis. I appreciate the comment. I'm glad you're made comfortable while you wait. You're a good dog.
I may have just jinxed myself now, but I've been to the ER a couple times, and multiple waiting rooms, and have never had to wait longer than an hour…and yes, the chairs are extremely uncomfortable and it always feels like I've stepped into the Arctic circle.
Thanks for a great comment. I hope you didn't jinx yourself. I wrote this story, after a visit to my family doctor. In my upcoming book, I have a story on hospitals, and the ER. It's a whole different story. If you made it in and out in 1 hour – you may have a new world record. My wife has been in nursing for over 25 years, so, I know what it's like. Thanks again, and take care.
Love it, Patrick. You should try having a child with chronic asthma. I have to take him to a specialist every six months and it usually entails a wait of between 6 and 7 hours while the doctor rushes around performing emergency caesarean sections and seeing to the needs of everyone else except his patient patients.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you liked it. You must be an expert on waiting rooms. 6 or 7 hours is unbelievable. My worst wait was probably a little less than two hours. My son had asthma as a child, but we were lucky, and he outgrew it. I hope your child is well.
EWWW!!!! Hand me the disinfectant!
Next time I go to the doctor's office, I might wear a surgical mask over my mouth and nose and rubber gloves on my hands.
BTW: it's not just in doctor's waiting room that rugrats spread germs around willy nilly. At a store the other day, a child was simultaneously coughing, hacking, sneezing, sniffling, and . . . handling everything in sight ~> picking it up, walking it over to mom, and then, when told "no," putting it back.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a great comment. When I'm at the store, I meticulously wipe down my cart with those disinfectant tissues. I still, sometimes get sick. It's probably from the fresh fruit and vegetable section.
This is terrible Patrick, Firstly your supermarkets were the same as ours and now you're trying to tell me your Doctors waiting rooms are the same as ours up here in Aussie land, well blowmedown, what a laugh. And you forgot to mention about dying of dehydration, because the cool water tower is always out of water, or there's never any cups, might as well be out in the Simpson Desert. Oh, by the way, the best way to solve that weighing scales problem, is to strip off starkers at the Doctors, just like you are naked, when you attack the weighing machine at home….
Thanks for stopping by Ivors. I'm sorry you have to wait like us. You may have it better there, because I've never seen a cool water tower in ours. If you don't bring your own water, you're a goner. You're probably right about the scale. When I'm at home, I take everything off. I'll even shave my back to lop off another pound or two of weight.

October 3, 2018 (DAYTON, OHIO) — Larry Hansgen, local celebrity and WHIO Radio personality, will be working in the month of October to raise money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer for their Real Men Wear Pink campaign.
"My wife, Laura is a breast cancer survivor. However, we both lost our dear friend Carol to this disease and have other friends who are currently fighting for their lives. Breast cancer affects everyone – it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. That's why I'm stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have. Since I'm in a position to make a difference within my community, I believe I have an obligation to do so. By raising money and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, I'm helping to save more lives from breast cancer," said Hansgen.
Real Men Wear Pink participants agree to raise at least $2,500 for the cause and funds are used to raise awareness and support for breast cancer initiatives, including innovative research, patient services, and education around screenings and risk reduction.


Thank you for volunteering. We are sure you will enjoy getting to know the students, and the children really appreciate having you there to help them. Here are just a few items to keep in mind.
TIME: Please arrive between 10:30 and 10:40 on your scheduled day. Your shift will end at noon. Sign in at the office, and then go to the cafeteria. On the book shelf to the right of the door is a box of red aprons, scissors, and hand sanitizer. Please take an apron and a pair of scissors and please wear your name badge. Don't forget to sign out at the office when you leave at noon.
DUTIES: Assist the children with opening drinks and plastic containers, cut open condiment packages and hand out napkins and silverware as children often forget these extra items. They should raise their hands to ask for help. The children will ask permission to go to the restroom or to the drinking fountain—it is fine to let them do so (make sure they know where the restroom is).
TIPS: After a child has paid and left the line, he/she is not to go back for any additional "sides". They will have a chance at checkout when the cashier reminds them.
APRONS: Aprons will be checked weekly and will be washed as needed. However, if you notice a soiled apron, please contact Sarah Wallace via email, text, or phone call.
SUBSTITUTES: If you are unable to work on the day you are assigned, it is up to you to find a substitute. Please try to trade with someone else on the calendar. If you cannot find anyone, please call Sarah Wallace. She will be happy to find someone to replace you on the day so that we will not be shorthanded.
The children, staff, and faculty really appreciate your help.


The Labor Day holiday was unanimously approved by Congress in 1894 to recognize and celebrate the victories and contributions of the American labor movement. Unfortunately, and ironically, the holiday designated to celebrate America's labor unions is also used by big business special interests and their supporters to denigrate those unions.
So how much is the surplus? $635 million? $1.3 billion? In reality…THERE IS NO SURPLUS!

Q: Java: How to continue execution after thread is started? I'm starting a thread which loops indefinitely until a certain event occurs. The problem is, I want to start this thread, and then return to the normal execution of my program. However, after starting the thread, the code seems to get stuck.
Code:
public void init()
{
   Runnable thread = new Runnable()
   {
     public void run()
     {
        while(something)
        {
           //do something
        }
     }
   };
   System.out.println("Starting thread..");
   new Thread(thread).run();
   System.out.println("Returning");
   return;
}

When I start this, I get the output "Starting thread" but I don't get "returning" until the conditions for the while loop in the run() stop being true.
Any ideas how I can make it work asynchronously?

A: Use start rather than run to start a Thread. The latter just invokes the run method synchronously
new Thread(thread).start();

Read: Defining and Starting a Thread

A: You may try this in your code:-
new Thread(thread).start();

like:-
public void init()
{
   Runnable thread = new Runnable()
   {
     public void run()
     {
        while(something)
        {
           //do something
        }
     }
   };
   System.out.println("Starting thread..");
   new Thread(thread).start();    //use start() instead of run()
   System.out.println("Returning");
   return;
}

A: You want to call new Thread(thread).start() instead of run().

A: Are you sure about your approach? You say:
The thread should loop indefinitely until certain event occurs.

that's an enormous loss of computational resource, the program is principally bound to get slow & fail. You may want to put the thread in wait() mode and catch InterruptedException to wake it up upon occurrence of your event of interest. If this preliminary understanding of what you are trying to accomplish is true then Id' strongly suggest you to revise your approach. Computing resource is expensive, don't waste it in relentless looping.

Gregory Isaacs - Love Is Overdue
I met Gregory Isaacs on many occasions over the years but only interviewed him once, after I'd given a speech in his honour at the Jamaica High Commission in London during his 35th Anniversary celebrations. Rumours abound about the Cool Ruler but I always enjoyed my encounters with him, and also his great sense of humour.
Gregory Isaacs, the Cool Ruler of reggae music, finally lost his battle with lung cancer on Monday October 25th 2010 after a lengthy illness. He died in London, where he'd enjoyed so many artistic triumphs over the years, surrounded by his family. In accordance with his now legendary status he was awarded a state funeral back home in Kingston, Jamaica, where his journey had begun in the slums of Denham Town just fifty-nine years earlier.
There were many sides to Gregory's talent. The epitome of gangster cool in his fedora, tailored suits and silk shirts, he was the classiest rude bwoy Jamaica's ever seen, and a masterful performer no matter what he was singing about – whether crooning intimate, romantic ballads designed to make ladies weak at the knees, or documenting the realities of ghetto life in a manner which left us in no doubt of their authenticity. The fact that he wrote nearly all of his own hits despite being so prolific would have been enough to enshrine him as a major star but Mr. Isaacs was also a sublime vocal stylist, possessed of an unhurried delivery that could express either tender vulnerability – designed to send his legions of female fans into raptures – or conversely, thinly veiled menace, depending on his mood. Without question he was reggae's leading male sex symbol, and by a very long distance.
Maybe this was due to the influence of singers like Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson and John Holt, whose music he absorbed in-between trying his hand as an electrician and cabinetmaker during his teens. At seventeen he cut his first-ever recording (Another Heartache, shared with Winston Sinclair), then joined a vocal trio called the Concords, who recorded a handful of sides for Rupie Edwards' Success label. It was Edwards who produced Gregory's earliest solo recordings like Lonely Man and Far Beyond The Valley, which contain all the hallmarks of his latter-day, laconic vocal style.
There are other similarities with Sam Cooke too – not only regarding dress sense and delivery, but also in how Gregory took charge of his own output. In 1973, he started the African Museum label with fellow singer Errol Dunkley, whose career promptly received a welcome boost with Black Cinderella. Roots reggae was gaining popularity in the wake of the Wailers' Catch A Fire, and songs about Rasta and black history just beginning to make their presence felt. Whilst better known as a lovers' rock singer, Gregory would soon embody such changes in his own music. In the meantime he assumed sole control of African Museum and opened up a record store on Chancery Lane in downtown Kingston near to Idlers' Rest, where singers and musicians would hang out, awaiting an opportunity to record at studios like Randy's or Treasure Isle. Gregory would continue to produce many of his own hits down the years – something few other Jamaican singers have managed to any notable degree. When you consider these self-productions include Slave Market, My Only Lover (his own personal favourite), My Time, Top Ten, Tune In, Front Door, Cream Of The Crop and Love Me With Feeling it's a wonder he ventured onto anyone else's label at all, except the ever-prolific Isaacs also voiced for many of Jamaica's top producers including Alvin "G. G" Ranglin, who gave him his first No. 1 hit in Jamaica with Love Is Overdue back in 1974.
Ranglin is from Clarendon, the same parish that gifted reggae music Toots Hibbert, the Maytones and Freddie McGregor. After leaving school he repaired radios and television sets, then branched out into jukeboxes, founded his own sound-system and even sang a little before relocating to Kingston and trying his hand at record production. By the time Gregory sauntered into his life, "G. G" had issued 45s with the likes of Eric Donaldson, Max Romeo and U Roy, but it was the enigmatic Cool Ruler who put his label on the map with a slew of hits released over the next three years. The material collected here represents the fruits of their alliance, and offers an essential glimpse into Gregory's early solo work. In the aftermath of Love Is Overdue he wasted no time recording his debut album for Ranglin, which Trojan Records issued as In Person during 1975. The cover depicted him sat at a wheel of a newly imported, bright red Ford Capri and the contents – led by Love Is Overdue – were equally impressive. Sweeter The Victory and Financial Endorsement are among his earliest sufferers' laments, whilst tracks like Another Heartache, No Forgiveness and Love Disguise set into motion a gift for wronged love stories that would last his entire career. Add to this tally a joyful The Way She Walks, the cautious optimism of Far Beyond The Valley and his declaration of righteousness on Happiness Come and it's little surprise he was hailed as a significant new talent right from the start.
It was the Soul Syndicate who played on most of the In Person set. For material gathered on two further albums, The Best Of Volumes 1 & 2, Ranglin recruited the Revolutionaries – a band anchored by drummer Sly Dunbar and based at Channel One. Both albums appeared on the producer's own label in Jamaica, and were released after Gregory had already left for pastures new. We can trace the progression from "flyers" – with its emphasis on sizzling cymbals – to a more sophisticated roots sound, ablaze with horns and with Gregory's vocals mixed well to the fore. These tracks came across as being more assured and the singer too, had grown – both as an artist and in his personal life. The Best Of Volume 1, issued in 1978, showed him on the cover with budding dreadlocks and holding a spliff, which may explain how he came to write a song like Double Attack, which told the story of a ganja bust. This track heralded his predilection for outlaw tales but it was My Number One that registered most with the reggae public, and proved a massive hit on 12" single. Look Before You Leap and the seductive Special Guest were among other standouts, along with covers of Willow Tree and Breaking Up (both hits for Alton Ellis in Jamaican reggae circles.)
Three years later, Ranglin issued Best Of Volume 2 – another striking collection featuring Border (arguably Gregory's best-ever repatriation song) and other tracks displaying his rebel credentials for all to see. No Footstool is not a wish, but declaration; A Riot preaches insurrection; Jailer tells of life behind bars whilst Village Of The Underprivileged and Payroll again speak out on behalf of those left destitute as a result of corruption and inequality. Rastafari, fused with a burning sense of social injustice, now infused much of Gregory's song-writing, although he still found room for a sprinkling of wistful ballads such as Once Ago, Each Day, Something Nice and Tumbling Tears – another Alton Ellis hit, and with the added attraction of dee-jay Ranking Barnabas on the final few bars.
Alas, Best Of Volume 2 brought to an end Ranglin's relationship with a singer who'd now established himself as a reigning superstar of late seventies' reggae music – one whose popularity rivalled that of his close friend Dennis Brown, Jimmy Cliff and even Bob Marley. By this time Gregory had voiced hits for many different producers, including Lee "Scratch" Perry, Niney The Observer, Micron, Ossie Hibbert and Sly & Robbie; founded his own distribution set-up in tandem with Bunny Wailer, and signed to Virgin Records' Frontline label for the albums Cool Ruler and Soon Forward. He'd also starred in the film Rockers, recorded for Charisma and then transferred to Island Records for his best-known hit single and album Night Nurse – a landmark he'd celebrated by being jailed in Kingston's feared General Penitentiary for possession of an illegal firearm.
Gregory would increasingly weave elements of his own life story into the reggae folk process from thereon – most notably on songs like One Man Against The World, Talk Don't Bother Me and Rumours; even Hard Drugs, in which he made reference to his cocaine addiction. The Cool Ruler wrote about his frailties with rare honesty and whilst most commentators agree that his latter-day output was dogged by inconsistency, you wrote him off at your peril. Back in the mid-to-late seventies however, he was an emerging force of great talent and persuasion – one whose songs radiate conviction, and will live forever in the hearts and minds of reggae fans worldwide.


Despite enormous amounts of possession Kenilworth could just not score. The result does not really represent the dominance Kenilworth had for large parts of the game, which was surprising with 4 Senior Players missing at a Party! At the end of the day its the points that matter.
Kenilworth started brightly, nicking the kick off ball from CN. A number of attacks ensued that took play up to the CN 22. Chipping Norton were ferocious at the breakdown and disrupted Kenilworth ball quite a bit, but from all set piece the Kens were dominant.
After 10 mins Kenilworth were awarded a penalty in front of the posts, but spurned the 3 points, in favour of the kick for touch in the corner. This looked like a banker of a try, as our rolling maul had been unstoppable. However, a ball thrown not straight put an end to that.
Play continued in the same vane for the next 13 minutes with one attack after another repulsed. Then disaster, a turnover ball quickly recycled by CN to the wing resulted in a break away try for CN.
Chipping Norton came out a better team in the 2nd half. Although, Kens still had good possession the backs were harried by a rush defence for which they had no answer. Another turnover and another breakaway try after 5 mins. Made the score 14 Nil.
CN were now in the ascendancy and Kenilworth started to wilt. An interception try in the last 10 minutes finished a game, that in the first half we thought we were going to win. Final Score 21 nil.


The Southeast Valley JVR Boys Basketball Season opened up the season on the road at East Sac County on Tuesday 11/27/18. The Boys lost 40-57 and are now 0-1.

The Complainant, Fluor Corporation is a publicly traded construction company employing 40,000 people around the world. The Registrant, an unidentified individual, did not respond to the complaint. The Complainant first registered its mark FLUOR in Canada in 1973. The Complainant was previously successful in ordering the transfer of a similar Domain Name on May 1, 2015.
The pay-per-click site was parked by GoDaddy therefore the Panel found that there was no evidence that the revenue generated was payable to the Registrant. Furthermore, the "e-mail" document provided by the Complaint purporting a "fraudulent job posting" also did not appear to have any direct link to the Complainant, and raised additional questions such as what would happen when a recipient would communicate with the person that e-mailed them. However, the Panel found bad faith based on the Complainant's allegations taken together, and because the Registrant failed to respond.


"We get deliveries on Tuesdays and Fridays from a company in Pittsburgh that sources seafood from Boston and Baltimore. Our supplier is fully supportive of our goal to offer sustainable fish and seafood that is wild caught or farm-raised in the U.S. Our fresh fish offerings change with each delivery, but we also stock frozen fillets of everything from cod and perch to barramundi and orange roughy. By customer request, we offer many varieties of frozen shrimp, both cooked Asian farm-raised and raw Gulf Coast. Our frozen frogs' legs (farmed, China) and alligator (farmed, U.S.) have a devoted following of Louisiana transplants who also appreciate the crawfish. We try to accommodate all tastes," Amy explained.
October is National Seafood month, and the directive to eat more seafood because it is good for your health should be considered carefully. Our once infinite-seeming and sparkling ocean waters are today very murky indeed. Paul Greenberg, the James Beard award-winning author of the 2010 book "Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food" and the 2014 "American Catch: The Fight for our Local Seafood," illuminates what has gone so wrong in the last 50 years, when the rise of global seafood consumption climbed from 22 pounds per person in the 1960s to nearly 38 pounds in 2011.
"Four Fish" focuses on tuna, cod, sea bass and salmon. Bluefin tuna is sorely hard-pressed. The magnificent wild creature — one of the fastest and most wide-ranging on the planet — is highly prized in Japan, where a 380-pound fish sold for $37,500 at last January's first auction of the year in Tokyo. Cod has been fished to near extinction and efforts to farm these wild species have proven as difficult as farming tigers. Sea bass, an important commercial and recreational species, faced severe shortages in the 1980s but is now being managed sustainably and even farmed commercially in the Mediterranean and in Massachusetts.
Salmon is complicated. It is the species we are most often urged to consume, due to the beneficial omega-3 heart healthy oils, but salmon are carnivores and the farm-raised salmon requires wild fish as feed. A study in the journal Nature calculates that it takes more than 3 pounds of wild fish — anchovies, herring, sardines, menhaden, mackerel — to produce 1 pound of market-ready farmed salmon. Other problems with salmon aquaculture include waste from the captive fish that pollutes the ocean; the escape of the genetically identical salmon that interbreed with wild salmon; diseases and parasites that flourish in the containment areas, requiring antibiotics and fungicides, which get carried to the wild salmon population.
Though wild salmon is the best choice for consumers, it is a limited resource and one that is underappreciated by a nation used to the mild taste of farmed salmon. According to Greenberg, "Americans now harvest our best, most nutritious fish in our best-managed Alaskan fisheries and send those fish over to Asia. In exchange, we are importing fish farmed in Asia, with little of the brain-building compounds fish eaters are seeking when they eat fish." That popular farmed fish from Asia is tilapia, innocuous in flavor and bred to feed the masses, as in the biblical loaves and the fishes miracle.
Greenberg continues with his treatise in "American Catch," focusing on oysters, shrimp and sockeye salmon. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, sockeye is the most valuable U.S. salmon species and almost 100 percent of the sockeye on the market comes from fisheries operating in Alaska. The largest sockeye harvest is in the Bristol Bay area in southwestern Alaska, an area currently threatened by a mineral exploration project called Pebble Mine that threatens the ecology of our last great sockeye spawning grounds. Mining development in the area could be catastrophic to the salmon population.
Shrimp, the most popular seafood in America, is difficult to endorse as a wise choice for the wary consumer. According to Consumer Reports, we are eating three times more shrimp than we did 35 years ago, but 94 percent of our shrimp are imported, mostly from India, Indonesia and Thailand, where they are raised in shrimp farms. These shrimp farms can be environmental disaster zones and, in the case of Thailand, sites of human rights violations, with forced laborers working and living in horrific conditions. Shrimp harvesting and farming in the U.S. is sustainable and currently recovering from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill that caused Gulf fleets to shrink by 50 percent.
Oysters, once so plentiful that oyster saloons were on every corner of every major city in America in the late 1800s, are also survivors of humankind's incredible assault on the oceans. Oyster farms are thriving in American coastal waters, without any environmental stress. These filter feeders get their sustenance from the water, a single oyster filtering 30 to 50 gallons of water a day, and don't need any additional feed and don't create any waste; they create themselves, plump morsels of healthy protein, iron, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids. Grass-roots efforts on the Chesapeake Bay to promote oyster gardens have been successful and many Maryland residents make use of their waterfront to grow their own appetizers and stew ingredients.

I am working towards my Associates Degree in Psychology. I am on my final course of my 1st semester and so far so good. I will apologize in advance because this will probably be lengthy, but I wanted to base this on my experience thus far. 1st, do research regarding the requirements needed for the job/field you are working towards. Ashworth is accredited, but they are nationally accredited and not regionally. Several fields require regionally accredited degree's. Most regionally accredited colleges require the coursework to come from a regionally accredited school if you are looking for transfer credit, but some regionally accredited schools will still accept the nationally accredited courses. 2nd, you have to do the work and be self disciplined enough to hold your self personally accountable for accomplishments or failures. 3rd, like any for profit school, business, or organization employee's are not always happy in their professional setting. (I am stating that fact based on all of the negative reviews I have seen on numerous sites.) I personally have NOT had any issues with the staff. I had to send tickets regarding my transcript and both were responded to within 48 hours. My books shipped within 72 hours of completion of my previous course. My instructors graded my assignments within 48-72 hours as well. I can honestly say, that I wish I would have discovered this school years ago when I attempted online classes with my local college. Working a full time job and being a single mother does not allow much time for studies of multiple classes, so needles to say I only stuck it out for one semester. I am close to 40 now and wanting to change careers, this goal would have already been accomplished had I found Ashworth years ago. This is what I have discovered on a personal level, for those that are on the fence about the school, start with your Associate Degree to see if you like the school. I have started with my Associate, after a ton of research, I have decided to transfer to Western Governors once the Ashworth degree is complete. From all of the information I have found they will accept the Ashworth credits, which means I will start at WGY with several classes out of the way. I have been in the financial industry for almost 20 years, so I will go after my Bachelors in Business at WGU and return to Ashworth for my Bachelor of Psychology after that. WGU is regionally accredited and the University of Alabama will accept their degree/course work. My end goal is to become a school counselor. The UAB offers a Masters in Educational Psychology even if your Bachelor degree is in Business. In my state we are short staffed on teachers in certain counties, so if you have a Bachelors degree in another field they will still allow you to teach under a temporary certificate (to avoid student teaching). With all of that being said, my goal is to obtain as much knowledge as I can in psychology and then apply that to an educational career change. My whole point to all of this .... go after your dreams, do not base your decision on what someone else says. Not everyone will have a great or good experience, but you never know unless you try. I firmly believe, based on my current experience, Ashworth is just the stepping stone I need to achieve my end goals. I would recommend this school for those that are mature and responsible enough to do the research on their job requirements/certifications and self sufficient enough to complete their assignments.
For what I was seeking, I got what I wanted. I learned a lot, and I thought the textbooks were good. I had no problems and got my certificate in about 4 months. Of course, there were challenges from time to time, but I worked with them to complete the program.
Ashworth is a terrible online school. I have been lied to multiple times, I have been sent from representative to representative. Every single word that was said from start to finish had s been a complete lie. I would never recommend Ashworth to anyone.
Good school. When I started most of the courses were via. "snail mail" but the school made a transition into the digital age. It is quickly becoming a major player in education and without a doubt was a forerunner of 21st century distance education. Go Ashworth!
I attended this school for about 4 months in 2015 to obtain an auto cad certification. Within the 4 months, the material provided was clear and well written. The tests did challenge me, as well as the class work. I would recommend this school on a certificate level. The instructor that i had did help when i needed. Usually within a day if not before, i had a response. Again i would recommend.
This 'school' is beyond a waste of money, I've been waiting 5 weeks since I completed my last class to receive the text book for the next class. You are more likely to be bitten by a great white shark in the desert than to speak with someone useful when you call customer service. On numerous occasions the answers to the quiz questions have been dead wrong, directly contradicting the CDC. Do not waste your time or money, you'll learn nothing.


Yes. If the applicant is a minor (child below 18), then at least one of the parents MUST apply together for the e-Visa. You will also need to provide a copy of the child´s Birth Certificate in order to show proof of the relationship between parent and child.


What happened to these 2 teams, did many of their players move to another league?
I can also tell you that the selecao team that played in pre-season tournaments had a different look to it than the one playing LH. Did I hear correctly that since the ECNL team is technically a different club, until that becomes official for the LH teams they can not player pass from ECNL? If that's true, I wonder if scores will start changing once the club merge becomes official.
During a game several weeks ago, the Kicks JM team wore D'Feeters jerseys with several of the players wearing an ECNL patch.

I believe that was a Sting team last year? Not sure who the coach is, but maybe Angell?
Never look behind the curtain.
You are pretty much spot on with the exception of players playing on other jdl teams. Two former Kicks JM players moved to DA. The rest are either playing with Kicks Selecao (soon to be Dfeeters 05) or on Dfeeters 05 ecnl team. There are several that do not play LH.

The pre-season tournament team (Plano Labor day) and current LH team makeup has been the same. There are several players that did not play Plano labor day and there are several players that haven't played LH this year. All current rostered LH players are dual rostered to ECNL so no CPP is required since they are officially on roster. The only players CPP to LH are current 06 players looking to get some experience on the big field.
Translated it means kids that primarily play on the ECNL team gave an assist to the PLD tourney team as replacements for some kids who primarily play LH.

Nope not all. The tournament focus for me was to see the new players strengths and weaknesses. All new players and players rostered only to LH received plenty of playing time in PLD and are receiving good minutes in LH now. The players that missed PLD were the players that only play ecnl.
The kicks JM team has worn Dfeeters jerseys since day 1 as we are changing team name now that we are able to. Kicks JM has CPP'd exactly 1 player in exactly 1 game and it was not a ECNL player, but she is a good one!
Is the goal to develop them with these 2 teams to see who could move up to the DA, ECNL, etc?
Seems like there is not much care into being relegated to D2, if things continue on this path. Maybe they've just been having bad luck and things will change.
Not sure about JM but for selecao I found it peculiar that they made it to the Labor Day finals but are now 0-4 in LH. But, the flip side is, they've played the teams who make up 4 of the top 5 in the LH standings. Wouldn't write them off just yet.
Yes the goal is to develop players for them to move up the next level..my goal is to focus on their development as soccer players and individuals.
Players develop at different times. You have a lot of late bloomers that become very good soccer players when they hit U14, U15 etc....so my focus has always been long term.


What Is Stage 1, 2, 3 ?
Stage 1 consists of a custom reprogram of the engine management system (ECU) of the vehicle, whereby each modification of the engine parameters (ignition, injection, …) is custom. All values of the parameters at this stage remain within the engine and transmission tolerances set out by the manufacturer. Stage 1 is 100% reliable, in short, enhanced driving satisfaction without problems.
For those that want a touch more than stage 1, we have stage 2 which consists of optimising a number of components around the engine to improve the efficiency of the engine. Fundamentally this is concerning intake and exhaust. A lot of air-intake systems are very restrictive because of their anti-resonant construction which is designed to dampen the intake noise of the engine. By installing a sports air filter or custom air intake, enhanced airflow to the engine is allowed and we get a modest power gain. As we reach the engine and transmission tolerances of the manufacturer in stage 2, sometimes components must be strengthened e.g. clutch.
At stage 3 we again go a step further, we are going to replace the internal or necessary components of the engine or turbocharger, that can go from increasing the cylinder capacity, placing sports camshafts, to the installation of a larger turbocharger. Sometimes there are some inherent risks to reliability, although not always. Manufacturers frequently build 1 basic engine block and by applying a larger turbo and injectors they can build 2 versions. It goes without stating that in some cases you can increase your engine with original parts from the bigger version, without affecting the reliability.
We guarantee you the best service available anywhere.
The single thing we change with remapping is the coding inside your car's engine's ECU (Brain) however when you begin driving, you will feel the difference in your car's speed and power instantly.
We create custom software based on your engine's specifications so that your car can safely cope with it. We make sure that the new custom ECU settings stay well within the tolerances of your car's engine, transmission and capabilities. Also, rest assured that this is not a permanent process. We keep the original "factory" settings archived in case you ever wish to return your car to its original settings.

To add a little more info, I very much prefer programs to let me know when they are connecting to the internet and storing information on my computer. I want to know what they are doing.
I've been very pleased with F.lux for years now and I'm not suspicious of the program, per se. I wanted to find out this info and provide my feedback, though. Thanks, of course, for a very helpful program!
Our updater checks for updates using Sparkle, which shares cookies with Safari. Our web server sets this cookie to figure out how unique people are using f.lux. It doesn't identify you personally.
What we use it for: our analytics software can tell us if everyone on a particular OS stops using f.lux (so we can see problems as they happen). Also, by knowing how many "unique" users there are, we can plan for bandwidth for updates, prioritize different platforms/languages/etc. It's the usual stuff.
Thanks very much for the explanation. If it's not asking for too much detail, what does "...how unique people are using f.lux" mean? Does the cookie track user actions or f.lux software actions (number of "starts" or user settings)? If the latter, why would this information be stored on the user's computer as opposed to on your servers? If the former, and the cookie is tracking web surfing, that is a little dubious. (Of course numerous websites track user web actions, but f.lux is not a web program.) Maybe we, in the community, would like to discuss this more.
It may well be that f.lux is simply doing what you elucidate (noting if users on an OS no longer start f.lux[?] and storing number of unique users); those things seem unproblematic. But I wonder why the f.lux updater wouldn't send that information to store on your server, rather than storing it in a cookie. That's the reason I am following up.
Cookies on the client lets us see the difference between 7 people who run the app once a week (or turn off their laptop except on Saturday) and 1 person who uses it every day.
Can't do that on a server alone.
