An Oak Ridge woman has been indicted on charges of vehicular homicide and driving under the influence in the death of a 37-year-old Harriman mother and Roane County Schools employee in a three-vehicle crash in May.
The vehicular homicide charge alleges Vickie Gay Gilmore, 62, was driving recklessly in the crash that killed Christy Duncan, 37, of Harriman.
Gilmore has also been charged with reckless aggravated assault for injuring Duncan's daughter Janna, who was four years old at the time of the May 6 crash at Oak Ridge Turnpike and Jefferson Avenue.
Gilmore has also been charged with reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon (a motor vehicle), reckless driving, and leaving the scene of an accident. She has an arraignment scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, April 28, in Anderson County Criminal Court in Clinton.
The indictments were filed Tuesday by the Anderson County Grand Jury in Clinton.
Charges against Gilmore were bound over, or sent to, the grand jury for its consideration during an October 21 preliminary hearing in Anderson County General Sessions Court in Oak Ridge. Two witnesses and two police officers testified during that hearing. The charges that were bound over are slightly different from the indicted charges.
The three-vehicle crash that killed Duncan was reported at about 9:47 p.m. Friday, May 6.

Witness Shellie Fellers, a registered nurse, said she was on her way home from dinner with her daughter, who was then 13, and her daughter's best friend, who was 14, at the time of the crash.
They were waiting at the stoplight at Oak Ridge Turnpike and Illinois Avenue, turning left onto Oak Ridge Turnpike, toward Kingston, when they heard the impact of what sounded like a "fender bender," Fellers said.
She looked to her right toward Oak Ridge Nissan. The sound was like a car being unloaded off a car hauler.
"I looked around and didn't see anything," Fellers said during the October 21 preliminary hearing. "I just passed it off as it must have been something at the car dealership."
After she turned onto Oak Ridge Turnpike, Fellers said, she saw a sport utility vehicle parked in the bicycle lane on the right side of the road.
Another car in front of her stopped to try to let the SUV into traffic, but when it didn't, the car proceeded. Fellers said she kept her distance.
"Something just didn't seem right," Fellers said. "I just couldn't see what was going on."
The SUV then darted diagonally in front of her into the median of Oak Ridge Turnpike and stopped, Fellers said. It was facing the power substation just west of Illinois Avenue, Fellers said.
The SUV had a handicapped license plate, so Fellers thought it could be a medical emergency and she called 911. She unbuckled her seat belt to go help, but as she started to get out of her car, the SUV sped off, going from a complete stop to the driver "apparently gunning it," headed west on the Turnpike, toward Jefferson Avenue, Fellers said.
She stayed on the phone with emergency dispatchers and cautiously followed the SUV, trying to keep a distance of 1.5 car lengths.
The SUV was "a bit wobbly" as it pulled back into the lane, and it got farther and farther away from her, Fellers said.
"So they were picking up speed," she said.
As she approached Jefferson Avenue, she saw cars at the red light.
"I saw the vehicle make impact with two vehicles at a very high speed with no brake lights," Fellers said. "The impact was very hard, very severe."
One vehicle was knocked into the intersection close to the curb of a bank on the righthand side of the road. Another vehicle was hit with less damage, Fellers said.
The SUV, the striking vehicle, ended up somewhat sideways in the middle of the intersection, Fellers said.
She was still on the phone with 911. She told them she could help because she is a nurse.
"I ran straight to the car that the victim was in," Fellers said. Someone else had made it there a few seconds earlier. There was a young child in the car. The driver's side of Duncan's car, a blue Nissan Altima, had been crushed from the rear tail light forward, according to witness testimony.
Janna Duncan was in the back seat on the right passenger side. She was still restrained in her car seat. It had been pushed forward at an angle, with Janna facing the window and her face inches from the window, Fellers said.
"She was very distraught," Fellers said. "She was crying, but she was alert and awake."
Two men were there, but they weren't able to get the doors open. Then, a man came with a baseball bat, Fellers said.
"We yelled for the little girl to cover her face, put her head down, and he hit the front window out," Fellers said.
With the front window busted out, the two men worked together to pry open the front door and get to Janna, Fellers said. She said another bystander who was also a nurse unbuckled the car seat and got Janna Duncan out.
Fellers got into the front passenger seat to try to help Christy Duncan, who was unconscious, not moving, and not making noise.
Fellers checked for a carotid pulse and found a faint one. She said she stayed with Christy Duncan until emergency responders arrived.
She saw a name tag hanging from the rearview mirror.
"I called her by name and told her that her little girl was out and that she was okay," Fellers said.
Duncan's condition did not change, Fellers said.
"By the time EMS got there, I could no longer find a carotid pulse," she said.

A second witness, Chris McKenzie, saw the crash. He was at the Shell gas station at the intersection when it happened, in his car facing the Turnpike.
"I saw the whole thing," McKenzie said during the preliminary hearing in October. The cars on the Turnpike were stopped at the red light, facing west toward Kingston, McKenzie said.
"It was pretty violent," McKenzie said. "It was flash to me. I saw the cars sitting there. The next thing I know, it was glass and smoke."
One car sitting at the red light was pushed about 40 feet, he said.
McKenzie said he was in shock at first. Then he saw a man trying to punch out the passenger side window of one of the cars.
"I went over to help him because they said there was a little girl inside," McKenzie said. "I helped the guy who busted it out pry open the back door…We got the little girl out."
McKenzie said he was close enough to see Gilmore in her vehicle, where he said she sat for a while, and then later on the curb. He said he could identify her by her hair, and he described her clothing.
"She looked out of it," McKenzie said. "She looked under the influence."
He described that as possibly being in a daze, groggy, "asleep almost."

But under questioning by public defender Leslie Hunt, McKenzie acknowledged that he does not know whether Gilmore might have been injured or diabetic, and he said it is possible that she also could have been in shock.
Oak Ridge Police Department Officer Ben Haines said Duncan had no radial pulse on her arm when he arrived. He couldn't get her out of the driver's side, so he went in the passenger's side. Like Fellers, he found a carotid pulse in her neck. He stayed until EMS arrived.
Like Fellers, he said Duncan was unconscious and unresponsive. She was breathing, but it was raspy.
Oak Ridge Police Department Officer Derek Burchfield, who has DUI training, said Gilmore had constricted pupils and droopy eyelids when he arrived, and she was calm one minute and agitated the next. She had low raspy speech, and it was like she was in a daze, Burchfield said.
Gilmore initially refused to give her name, and she said she wasn't sure what happened before saying one vehicle hit her and then pushed her into another vehicle, Burchfield said.
That appeared to be different than what witnesses told Burchfield after the crash. In affidavits filed in September, Burchfield said, based on witness statements, that Gilmore's black SUV crashed into the rear of Duncan's car before sliding sideways into a silver Lexus driven by Jason Watson of Oak Ridge. Gilmore did not slow down or even hit her brakes, Burchfield said in those affidavits, which were filed in Anderson County General Sessions Court in Oak Ridge.
During the preliminary hearing in October, Haines said that in the brief time he spoke to Gilmore the night of the crash, she said she was turning right onto Jefferson Avenue.
After the crash, Duncan was taken by ambulance to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, where she later died.
Janna Duncan was also taken to the UT Medical Center, Burchfield said. Haines said he was concerned that she might have had a concussion.

Gilmore told Burchfield that she had several medical problems, according to the testimony during the preliminary hearing in October. She said she quit drinking many years ago and had been prescribed many medications but had taken herself off of them, Burchfield said.
"She stated that she wasn't under the influence of alcohol or narcotics," Burchfield said.
Gilmore agreed to perform some sobriety tests, but she said she couldn't walk a straight line or stand on one leg, Burchfield said. He asked if he could check vital signs, and he performed a horizontal gaze test. Gilmore wasn't able to perform the horizontal gaze test or follow instructions, and vital signs—blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and muscle tone—were below normal or "very relaxed." That indicated Gilmore was under the influence of a narcotic pain-killer, Burchfield said.
He said Gilmore refused to submit to a blood test, and police obtained a search warrant for her blood. She was very agitated, and at one point, officers had to hold her down at the jail.
She told officers they wouldn't be able to get blood, and she fought them, yelling and cursing, Burchfield said.
Officers normally draw two tubes of blood, but they were only able to draw a small amount for a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation kit, Burchfield said. It wasn't enough blood for a lab to check for impairment.
After asking if blood is the "gold standard" for impairment testing, Hunt, the defense attorney, suggested there could be other possible explanations for at least some of what Burchfield observed. Among those other possible explanations: insomnia, cluster headaches, trauma, eye inflammation, a stroke, head injuries, or concussion.
During the preliminary hearing, Hunt argued that there was no proof that Gilmore was under the influence of narcotics or alcohol, and there was an insufficient blood sample to check for impairment through a laboratory analysis.

But Anderson County General Sessions Court Judge Roger Miller found probable cause to bind over charges to the grand jury.
The charges that were sent to the grand jury in October were vehicular homicide (due to intoxication), driving under the influence, reckless driving, reckless endangerment, and aggravated assault.
Miller cited the testimony of Fellers with regard to driving recklessly and reckless endangerment. He said there were some holes in the testimony by the prosecution's witnesses due to the lack of blood work, but the testimony of officers had not been contradicted and the "circumstances in totality" provided probable cause for binding over the charge of driving under the influence.
Gilmore was found guilty of violation of implied consent, and she lost her driver's license.
Charges dismissed during the preliminary hearing were leaving the scene of an accident, failure to maintain single lane, duty upon striking a fixture, and vehicular homicide (recklessness).
Miller said he had some difficulty with the initial duplicity in the two charges related to vehicular homicide (one due to recklessness and one due to intoxication), and he dismissed the vehicular homicide charge by recklessness because he found that the vehicular homicide charge by intoxication should be bound over due to probable cause in that matter.
The indicted charges, which move the case from General Sessions Court to Criminal Court, are vehicular homicide (recklessness), reckless aggravated assault, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving under the influence (first offense).
Gilmore has previously been indicted on a charge of driving under the influence in a separate, unrelated case, but she pleaded guilty on October 13, 2014, to a reduced charge of reckless driving. She was sentenced to six months in the Anderson County Detention Facility in Clinton, all suspended with credit for time served, and she was placed on supervised probation. A condition of her probation was to comply with all recommendations from her doctor, specifically mental health treatment if required, according to a sentencing waiver. A charge of violating the implied consent law was dismissed as part of that plea agreement.
Duncan was an employee at Roane County Schools, where she was a school social worker and worked with the student support team. She was born in Oak Ridge in 1978, and she graduated from Oliver Springs High School in 1996. She studied social work at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and received her bachelor's degree in social work in 2002. She received her master's degree from LMU in 2015.
She attended Ridge Church in Oak Ridge, where she worked in the children's ministry.
Assistant District Attorney Melissa Denny was the prosecutor in Anderson County General Sessions Court during the preliminary hearing.

In Pictures: Hollywood's 20 Most Valuable Actors
By John Burman

How We Did This
To compile the Star Currency results, a survey was sent to members of the entertainment industry globally, asking them to rank 1,400-plus actors on a range of attributes regarding the actors' participation in films.
Among them: ability to attract significant financing for a project; if the actor can guarantee theatrical distribution; if his or her presence significantly drives box office performance; if the actor is an essential component in securing rights deals for revenue streams including DVD, pay/free TV, etc.; and a project's ultimate financial performance in those areas.
Forbes conducted the survey Sept. 3, 2008, through Nov. 16, 2008, in conjunction with Erdos & Morgan, a New York-based independent research firm that advised Forbes on the survey and handled the tabulation and ranking of the results.

Will Smith's Star Currency
What Hollywood's insiders really think of Tinseltown's talent.
The results were converted into scores from 0 to 10, with 10 being the top.
Presented in this slide show are the top 20 names as ranked cumulatively by 157 voters. The voters are members of the industry who work in acquisitions, development, distribution, finance, marketing and production; are consultants, creative executives, investors, market analysts, producers, producers' representatives and sales agents.

Smith, Continued
Will Smith stands alone as the only actor to score a perfect 10 among industry voters in the Star Currency survey. Just look at the flashy box office numbers here to get an idea why. Among his feats: Seven of his live-action films debuted in the No. 1 slot at the North American box office, starting with Men in Black II (2002) through Hancock (2008) (the number jumps to eight if you count his voice work in the animated feature Shark Tale).
"He has shown, time and again, that, in today's world, regardless of the material, people want to watch Will Smith. He is cross-genre and proved it multiple times," says Ashok Amritraj, chairman and CEO of Hyde Park Entertainment.

Depp, Continued
Though it's rare, it turns out an actor can march to his own drum and make money, too. The poster child for "indie actor as box office star," Johnny Depp's smart career move in taking the role of Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise--and his ability to maintain his street credibility in doing so--elevated him to another level in the eyes of the industry and audiences.
His collaborations with Tim Burton have also been a boon for both. "Johnny Depp is someone audiences are comfortable with seeing," says Patrick Gunn, managing director, Qualia Capital. "Women love him and his cool factor improved with men over time. That's a potent mix."

DiCaprio, Continued
Leonardo DiCaprio may not have the outrageous box office numbers some of his peers do (though there was that certain boat movie that keeps him, for now, king of the world in the major box office stat), and he seems to be OK with that. He has no interest in chasing one popcorn movie after another.
"He's smart in that he doesn't try to make every movie a Leonardo DiCaprio movie," says one producer who participated in our survey. "He's going to do a Martin Scorsese film like Shutter Island with an incredible cast of actors. Revolutionary Road--the pressure is different. You don't have to produce a blockbuster with that kind of movie. And the studios get what that movie is and that it isn't going to make $100 million."
1. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005): $478,236,279

Jolie, Continued
Angelina Jolie wears a lot of hats: Oscar-winning actress (and nominated for 2008's Changeling); humanitarian; one-half of Hollywood's most famous couple; working mother; media magnet. She's got the acting credibility and exposure--key ingredients. Some of her peers on the upper reaches of the list have more box office to their names, but right now, the industry clearly recognizes what she can mean to a project.

Pitt, Continued
Having Brad Pitt in your project these days lets everyone involved sleep a bit easier. The Oscar nominee for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button could have gone the way of many promising young actors unfairly burdened with being "the Next (fill in the blank)," but Pitt took the torch and forged on, to date crafting a career that doesn't always cater to the safe choice.
As his North American numbers have grown, so has his international appeal. Examples include Troy, at $133.3 million in North America vs. $364 million in the rest of world, and Babel, at $34.3 million in North America vs. $101 million internationally.
1. The Da Vinci Code (2006): $758,236,138
2. Forrest Gump (1994): $677,394,499
3. Saving Private Ryan (1998): $481,473,322
Hanks, Continued
In Hollywood, the shorthand is that "Hanks Banks." And for good reason. The two-time best actor Oscar winner is uncannily good at picking roles suited for his place in life, from Splash in 1984 to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and the upcoming Angels & Demons. Away from the camera, he's a successful, award-winning producer who has written and directed, too.

Clooney, Continued
Clooney's list of massive box office hits may not be as long as some of his peers, but people in town want to be in the George Clooney business. He's smart, creative (directs, writes, produces), an industry statesman and utilizes his fame to shed light on issues like the Darfur genocide--all while capturing the essence of Hollywood's leading men that have come before him.
Clooney has also built his brand globally though other avenues--see his commercials for products outside the United States.

Perhaps one way someone's star currency can be charted is in people's awareness at the mere mention of a first name: You hear "Denzel" and you know who someone's talking about. That's an important benefit for studio executives when marketing and selling a movie.
While the two-time Oscar winner's big-screen roles are heavy on historically based films, including Cry Freedom (1988); his Oscar-winning turn in Glory (1989); Malcolm X (1992); The Hurricane (1999); and Remember the Titans (2000), he mixes it up with wide-audience appeal films (albeit usually with deeper tones), such as The Pelican Brief, Crimson Tide, Virtuosity, The Bone Collector, Inside Man and Déjà Vu, among others.

Matt Damon had built a steady, solid body of work running up to the Ocean's Eleven films, but it was the The Bourne Identity and its sequels that showed he could do the action thing without sacrificing credibility in taking on challenging roles.
A fourth Bourne is reportedly in the offing, but, until then, he reaps the riches of returning to more dramatic upcoming projects, including Green Zone (with Bourne director Paul Greengrass); The Informant, from Ocean's Eleven director Steve Soderbergh; and Clint Eastwood's The Human Factor.

It's Jack. Iconic. Living-legend status, but still hip with audiences. Is selective about the projects he chooses. "Nicholson still has an edge and sex appeal that endures," one investor notes. The three-time Oscar winner has mapped his career in a way few others have.
He doesn't phone in roles for the money; he's brought elements of the Jack legend on-screen/off-screen persona into some of his roles in more recent years, such as Anger Management and Something's Gotta Give. He then went old-school Jack with his dark role in The Departed. That's called range, people.

Roberts, Continued
Hollywood's "it" actress, seemingly for all of the 1990s and the earlier part of this decade, Julia Roberts' appearances on screen have been fewer in recent years, as she has preferred time spent with family and as a mother.
But that clearly hasn't diminished the perception of her among the industry as a strong component for building and financing a project. The Oscar winner has kept her toe in the water with projects like Charlie Wilson's War (2007). The March release of Duplicity, co-starring Clive Owen, marks Roberts' first pure-popcorn movie in some time.

Sandler, Continued
Adam Sandler has made comedy a serious business for himself. The actor and producer-writer (his company, Happy Madison, just released the early 2009 hit Paul Blart: Mall Cop) has starred in 10 films grossing $100 million-plus at the North American box office, including recent release Bedtime Stories, according to Exhibitor Relations figures.
And, where once his brand of humor seemed confined to North American shores for box office success, that seems to be changing, too. "Adam Sandler has an incredible brand," says Rick Alvarez, longtime Wayans brothers producing partner.

Cruise, Continued
Tom Cruise may not have finished in the No. 1 slot, as he likely would have in years past, but the media magnet's still in the upper tier, showing the industry is more than willing to dismiss his recent antics. Instead, it's focusing on his long-term success, the importance of his involvement to a project, ability to attract financing, and the global box office draw, among the survey's other elements.
Cruise, himself, has reined it in publicly, showed he was willing to address the past--apparent with the recent promotional push for Valkyrie. "Tom Cruise has charisma," one producer notes. "Valkyrie--That movie without Tom Cruise [would] make $17 million." Through Feb. 1, 2009, it has grossed $120.5 million globally as it continues its international roll-out.

Three of Will Ferrell's past four comedies have passed the $100 million mark at the North American box office, while turns in non-comedies, like Stranger Than Fiction, have netted him positive critical reviews.

"Meryl Streep" and "box office star" have not always been synonymous. But turns in The Devil Wears Prada and, of course, 2008 blockbuster Mamma Mia!, show she's a bankable star who brings in a crowd.
She's lost none of her acting credibility as a result of big commercial success. The two-time Oscar winner's best actress nomination for Doubt is her 15th. Next, she'll take on another icon, Julia Chlid, in Julie & Julia.

De Niro, Continued
It's no wonder the industry finds De Niro valuable to a project. One of the key inspirations for at least a whole generation of actors, he has stayed relevant in audiences' eyes for 30-plus years. Yes, he's found other interests over time--director, producer, film festival creator; hotel owner; restaurateur. And some have debated certain film-role choices in recent years, but he's De Niro, and he still matters.

Ginger Meggs cartoonist James Kemsley dies age 59
4th December 2007, 13:00 WST
Tributes are flowing in from around the world for Ginger Meggs cartoonist James Kemsley, who died yesterday aged 59.
Kemsley, who has been drawing the iconic comic strip since 1984, died at his home in Bowral NSW Australia, late yesterday after a two-year battle with motor neuron disease.
Ginger Meggs, which was first published in 1921, is the most syndicated Australian comic strip, appearing in more than 120 newspapers around the world.
Kemsley was the fourth artist to draw the comic, and was credited with taking it from a Sunday strip into a daily format.
Under his pen Ginger Meggs enjoyed unprecedented popularity.
Australian Cartoonists' Association president Peter Broelman said Kemsley loved cartooning and was working on Ginger Meggs right until the end.
"He was working on Meggs that morning," Mr Broelman said.
"He couldn't draw as such but he was certainly writing ideas and ... involved in the production of Meggs."
Kemsley, who was a former president of Cartoonists' Association, was a mentor to up-and-coming cartoonists, Mr Broelman said.
"He was one of those few guys that you meet who always helped other people," he said.
"He certainly helped me with advice and he didn't limit his advice to anyone, and he was keen to help younger cartoonists I think basically out of a sense of camaraderie to further the greater good."
A former actor who hosted Skeeter's Cartoon Connection and starred in Seven Little Australians in the 1970s, Kemsley was a cricket tragic, a theatre lover and a St Kilda football club fan.
Mr Broelman said he had been inundated with messages from friends and colleagues of Kemsley's from around the world.
"I've been receiving a lot of emails and phone calls, not only from Australia but from the US and from England, where he made a lot of friends over the years," Mr Broelman said.
"He was one of those affable guys, just a friendly bloke who was quite happy to travel around the world just to meet other cartoonists."
Kemsley leaves behind his wife Helen and three sons Jed, Hywel and Sebastian.
Award-winning cartoonist Jason Chatfield will take over the production on Ginger Meggs.

DED alerts Ministry of Economy on sudden rise in prices of essential foodstuff in certain hypermarkets
Dubai: Department of Economic Development (DED) has alerted the Ministry of Economy after it was found that certain hypermarkets in Dubai had increased the prices of essential foodstuff shortly before Ramadan.
Omar Bushahab, Chief Executive Officer of the Commercial Compliance and Consumer Protection Division, DED, said that DED had been monitoring the prices of essential food stuff over the 15 days up to Ramadan and noticed price increases varying from two per cent to 50 per cent on items such as flour, cooking oil, sugar, fruits, vegetables, poultry, lamb and veal.
"The Department of Economic Development has sent a letter to the Ministry of Economy requesting appropriate action on such price increases as it falls under the Ministry's mandate. In the meantime the Commercial Compliance and Consumer Protection Division will implement all possible measures to ensure that consumers in Dubai continue to get all essential foodstuffs at fair prices," said Bushahab.
"Monitoring consumer prices is an integral part of our efforts to protect consumer rights and maintain harmonious relations between traders and consumers in Dubai. We work closely with retail outlets and also take necessary action on consumer complaints," Bushahab added.
Visits conducted by CCCP inspectors to prominent hypermarkets revealed a 2-8 per cent in prices of frozen poultry, lamb and veal while fish prices had gone up by 12 per cent. Sugar prices showed a 39 per cent increase and fruits and vegetables had become costlier by 50 per cent in some of these outlets.
"There were also retail outlets that showed remarkable social responsibility by reducing or locking the prices of essential foodstuff. These outlets had in fact reduced prices of items like fresh chicken, frozen chicken, lamb and flour by up to 77%" said Bushahab.

In the United Statesstates have primary jurisdiction in matters of public morality. The topfreedom movement has claimed success in a few instances in persuading some state and federal courts to overturn some state laws on the basis of sex discrimination or equal protectionarguing that a woman should be free to dating Alexandria suburbs her chest i. Other successful cases have been on the basis of Jackson MS naked dating show of expression in protest, or simply that exposure of breasts is not indecent or similar terminology.
Laws and ordinances barring female toplessness are being challenged in federal courts around the nation. Each lawsuit, if it prevails at free dating search Island appellate level, will legalize topfreedom in the following U. A federal lawsuit in the 7th Circuit Illinoiswas lost at the appellate level and the petition for review by the U. Supreme Court was denied. A preliminary injunction in a federal lawsuit in the 10th Circuit Coloradoromantic Youngstown dates won at the appellate level.

State law allows public nudity that is neither lewd nor offensive. San Francisco allows public female toplessness, although public nudity is banned as of February In Berkeley it is a misdemeanor or infraction for a woman to expose "any portion of the breast at or below the areola".
Oakland 's dress law says that women cannot wear "any type of clothing so that any portion of such part of the breast may be observed". San Jose bars anything "less than completely and opaquely covered" female breasts. In Los AngelesUCSD graduate student Anni Ma, [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] a "Free the Nipple" protester, was arrested for indecent exposure at a Bernie Sanders rally on March 23,when she removed masking tape covering her nipples.

Topfreedom in the united states
The judge wrote: the naked female breast is seen as disorderly or dangerous because society, from Renaissance paintings to Victoria's Secret commercials, has conflated female breasts with genitalia and stereotyped them as such. The irony is that by forcing women to cover up their bodies, society has made naked women's breasts something to see.
Denver and Boulder do not distinguish between male and female toplessness. Dating ideas in Baltimore Florida statute about indecent exposure prohibits the vulgar or indecent exposure of sexual organs but does not specify if female breasts are included as sexual organs. The right to breastfeed in public is expressly protected, [28] and one Florida court inferred that this exception indicates that female breasts are sexual organs [29] and the Supreme Court of Florida held that a separate statute about disorderly conduct can be used to prosecute female toplessness.
The right of a woman to protest topless has been held to be a freedom of expression and not an equal protection issue. Nothing free internet dating San Francisco Idaho state law prohibits female topfreedom. Specifically, the Idaho statute regarding indecent exposure, I. Absent a local ordinace, then, female topfreedom is lithuanian dating Corona CA in Idaho. Confusingly, the state statute expressly provides that breastfeeding and pumping do not constitute indecedent exposure.
This provision is apparently superfluous since there is nothing to suggest the statute addresses exposure of the female breast. The provision was presumably added to make it especially clear that breastfeeding and pumping are not criminal offenses. This safe harbor should not be read, however, to suggest that topfreedom otherwise is prohibited as indecent. Although state law does not prohibit free dating girl in Montana from being topfree, certain municipalities within the state do prohibit it.
For example, chapter 6 of title 5 of the Boise City Code presently criminalizes exposure of the female nipple outside of the context of breastfeeding. Such exposure is a misdemeanor.

The Supreme Court, he noted, has also maintained that physical differences between men and women — as opposed to stereotypes about men and women — can provide a valid basis for laws that treat men and women differently. Such amorphous concepts are vulnerable to prejudice and stereotypes grounded more in fear than in reality. In December50 residents of Pittsfield, Massachusetts petitioned the City Council requesting a segregated beach for topless sunbathing by Danbury CT girl seeking girl men and women.

Ina Utah woman was charged with lewdness when, inside her home, her stepchildren saw her topless. Buchanan pled guilty to one charge of lewdness being topless in the presence of another adult, to wit, her husbandwhich will be dropped if she does not commit any new crimes for a year. The Washington state laws assert public nudity by itself is not illegal in a nonsexual contextbut naturists and topless women can be charged with indecent exposure if they are accused of performing an act considered obscene in public while being nude or topless and they have the explicit intention to harm other people through this act.
The city of Seattle does not have any municipal laws regarding public nudity, and its policy in relation to nudity is considered more relaxed in comparison to Kansas City Missouri distance dating other cities in Washington. Nevertheless, the Washington state laws relating to nudity are enforced in Seattle, because in most cases state or federal laws are applied when municipal or state, or both laws about a determined subject do not exist. However, there are some public nudity events observed in the city throughout the year, such as the World Naked Gardening Dayas well as a few clothing-optional bike ride events, such as the World Naked Bike Ride [] and the Solstice I High Point looking for a boy. Moreover, both female toplessness and naturism the latter in a smaller scale are commonly practised and tolerated in the city parks especially Magnuson ParkWashington Park ArboretumDiscovery Buffalo New York hookup and Denny-Blaine Park.
In Las Vegas, Nevadaa of hotels feature "European" pools that permit female toplessness. See also: Social nudity in San Francisco.

Start: November 25 8:00 pm
Three extraordinary Bay Area vocalists join forces for an evening of stunning vocal fireworks. Rhiannon, Joey Blake, and David Worm are all original members of Bobby McFerrin's Voicestra and have sung with the award-winning a capella ensemble SoVoSo. Their album, WeBe3, Live and Improvised, is "an amazing live recording," says the website singers.com, "at once funny, joyous, unexpected, liberating and delightful." The Los Angeles Times has praised the group for "expanding the vision of what the human voice is capable of, individually and collectively," and the East Bay Express has praised them for taking "that journey of collective exploration into the spiritual unknown that is normally the domain of jazz instrumentalists."
Rhiannon, who sings lead melodies, grew up on a farm in South Dakota, went to New York to study theater, and earned an MFA from Cornell University. She has released five albums on her own RhiannonMusic label, and has collaborated with such artists as Ruth Zaporah, Brenda Wey, and the dance company ODC. She is also a master teacher with a deep interest in the connection between music and healing.
Joey, who provides the rich bass lines, is not only a singer but also a producer, recording engineer, composer, dancer, and choir director, as well as an accomplished instrumentalist on piano, guitar, bass, and percussion. He has produced five albums for SoVoSo and recorded with Kenny Loggins and Mickey Hart. He has served on the faculty of both the Jazzschool in Berkeley and the Berklee College of Music in Boston.
David, who creates the percussion effects, has more than fifty recording credits as a session singer, vocal percussionist, and composer. He has scored or co-written works for such artists as Tandy Beal, Robert Moses' Kin, Oberlin Dance, and June Watanabe. He has taught improvisational singing and vocal production in Europe and America, including at the Omega Institute in New York and the Esalen Institute in Big Sur.

Q: redux to redux-toolkit refactoring can somebody explain why this code dispatching 'actions.loginSuccess' when i get 401 error from server ?
isn't it should go to 'catch' part of axios request ?
Before i did it without redux toolkit features
const login = ({username, password}) => async dispatch => {
  await axios.post(`${API_URL}/token/`, {username, password})
    .then(response => {
      dispatch(actions.loginSuccess({ client_id: response?.data.client_id }))
      history.push('/')
    })
    .catch(e => {
      dispatch(actions.loginError({ error: String(e) }))
    })
}

//actions.js
const login = createAction('@USER/login')
const loginSuccess = createAction('@USER/login-success')
const loginError = createAction('@USER/login-error')

export const actions = {
  login,
  loginSuccess,
  loginError
}

//reducers.js

export const userReducer = createReducer(initialState, builder => {
  builder.addCase(actions.login, draft => {
    draft.loading = true
  })

  builder.addCase(actions.loginSuccess, (draft, action) => {
    draft.loading = false
    draft.isLoggedIn = true
    draft.data = { ...draft.data, client_id : action.client_id}
  })

  builder.addCase(actions.loginError, (draft, action) => {
    draft.loading = false
    draft.error = action.payload.error
    draft.isLoggedIn = false
    draft.isSignedup = false
  })
}

A:
can somebody explain why this code dispatching 'actions.loginSuccess'
when i get 401 error from server ? isn't it should go to 'catch' part
of axios request ?

 // there's a difference beetween HTTP Status Code and Server Response Body Code.

 // if HTTP status code is not 200, it should dispatched loginError()

 // if HTTP status code is 200, and theres a response body JSON

 // e.g
 const resp = {
   statusCode: 401,
   message: 'unauthorized',
 }

 // You must make if conditions to handle that error code

Here's redux-toolkit version of your code to handle either HTTP status code 401, or body response code
// import axios & history
import { createSlice } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';

const initialState = {
  data: {},
  loading: false,
  isLoggedIn: false,
  isSignedup: false,
};

// Reducers
const userSlice = createSlice({
  name: '@USER',
  initialState: initialState,
  reducers: {
    loginStart(state) {
      state.loading = true;
    },
    loginSuccess(state, action) {
      state.data = {
        ...state.data,
        client_id: action.payload.client_id
      };
      state.loading = false;
      state.isLoggedIn = true;
    },
    loginError(state, action) {
      state.loading = false;
      state.error = action.payload.error;
      state.isLoggedIn = false;
      state.isSignedup = false;
    },
  },
});

// actions
export const { loginStart, loginSuccess, loginError } = userSlice.actions;
export default userSlice.reducer;

export const login = ({ username, password }) => async (dispatch) => {
  dispatch(loginStart());
  try {
    const response = await axios.post(`${API_URL}/token/`, {
      username,
      password,
    });
    if(response && response.statusCode !== 200){
      return dispatch(loginError({ error: response.message }));
    }

    dispatch(loginSuccess({ client_id: response?.data.client_id }));
    history.push('/');
  } catch (e) {
    dispatch(loginError({ error: String(e) }));
  }
};

don't forget to add userSlice into configureStore()
const reducer = {
  "@USER": userReducers, //got from export default userSlice.reducer
};

export default configureStore({
  reducer,
  middleware,
  devTools: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
});

You can make the switch with Japster!
And then freaked out, especially if you were in the middle of something important like a contest that you paid to get into or were in the middle of posting a long-heartfelt post…then BAM…no blogger blog.
You want more reasons? I get 3 times more pitches from companies to do reviews and to link to their products than I ever did on Blogger. The first week I moved I made $100 blogging about products that I would not have been able to do if I was on Blogger.
I also am able to go with advertising companies that only work with self-hosted and even Google ads are more customizable making them prettier to you, my reader. So everything I have put out in cash, I have already made back in two weeks after the switch.
How do you switch you ask? I used Japster. He moved over everything and even customized my site to look like my old one WITH a thesis WordPress theme (which normally runs for $70-$90) I used the middle plan at around $30 and was worth every single penny.
Simply Stacie has posted 3 ways to move your Blogger to WordPress. Some are free, some dirt cheap, some a little more; but, all are worth the move! What are you waiting for?


Boca Chica is a short drive away (10 mins) and is very famous area for both shore and deep sea fishing. Fishing trips and island hopping can be arranged here also. There are numerous tropical islands to see which include, Coiba island national parks & The Secas.
FISHING TRIPS: Boca Chica is the premier fishing destination in Central America, it includes Hannibal bank, Islas Montuosa, Isla Coiba, The Secas and Ladrones. .
Offshore fishing in the deep waters near the Hannibal Bank and Isla Montuosa, you will find black marlin, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, blue marlin, blackfin tuna, dorado, sailfish and swordfish that congregate and thrive on these banks.. Fishing is spectacular year-round here, but December to May is probably the best time as this is when most of these species of fish are here together in big numbers.
Our current Champs as of 1st July 2011 are Nancy & Keifer from Mobile, Alabama with a 275 lb Tuna.
This and other catches of our guests is on our picture gallery.
Whatever you feel like doing there will be an expert crew and boat to suit all your requirements and it can be arranged.
SNORKELING There is also a lot of very good places to go SNORKELING and there are many deserted islands which have very clear water. The local fisherman always know the best places to go for whatever you decide you want to do.
SCUBA DIVING - The Secas are great and a day trip can be arranged.
PRIVATE ISLAND GETAWAYS Trips to deserted beaches on uninhabited islands for the day can be arranged.
NATURE WATCHING of DOLPHIN, PORPOISE, WHALES, AND SEA TURTLES to name but a few.
HORSE RIDING - This can also be arranged.
BIRDWATCHING - You cannot find a better place in the world to do this then here in Panama. Just by sitting on your terrace you see a huge amount of different beautiful birds and you have in your apartment A GUIDE TO THE BIRDS OF PANAMA so you can straight away find the picture, name and all the details of the different birds. We have had past guests who have said they were looking through the book at some beautiful bird and looked up and there it was.

There are local estate agents who we could arrange with them to show you around the different places and give you first hand advice. Also we have lots of tips and information that we can give you ourselves from personal experience.

EU Satellite Operator SES Launches ASTRA 2G Broadband Spacecraft
Monday, December 29th, 2014 (8:35 am) - Score 2,015
Satellite operator SES has proudly reported that the last from a new batch of spacecraft, ASTRA 2G (all 6.6 tons of it – based on the Eurostar E3000 platform), has been successfully launched into space by a Russian-made ILS Proton Breeze M rocket from Kazakhstan (i.e. more broadband Internet capacity for Europe, the Middle East and Africa).
The satellite, which will be deployed at the 28.2/28.5 degrees (East) orbital arc around planet Earth, was first announced back in 2010/11 (here) as part of several new spacecraft (including ASTRA 2F and ASTRA 2E, which have already launched) that could better harness the Ka-band (26.5-40GHz) and Ku-band (12-18GHz) radio spectrum to deliver TV/media services and faster broadband speeds into remote locations.
Apparently ASTRA 2G, which will have a total wingspan of 40 meters once its solar arrays are deployed in orbit (generating 13kW of power), carries 62 Ku-band and 4 Ka-band transponders. It is expected to stay in service for around 15 years and by then there will be a new range of even faster and more capable Satellite's to replace it.
Martin Halliwell, CTO of SES, said:
"We would like to congratulate 'Airbus Defence and Space' and ILS for the successful ASTRA 2G mission, a launch that marks the 24th SES satellite to be launched by ILS Proton, and the ninth Eurostar satellite in the SES fleet. The ASTRA 2G satellite completes our significant replacement investments at a strategic orbital neighbourhood over Europe and provides 10 incremental transponders for expansion while cementing our unique co-positioning satellite back-up-scheme.
The spacecraft furthermore includes the capability to connect West Africa to Europe via Ka-band. In combination with ASTRA 2E and ASTRA 2F which were launched in September 2012 and 2013 respectively, ASTRA 2G is the culmination of our fleet renewal programme at the 28.2/28.5 degrees orbital arc. The new state-of-the-art SES satellites provide more focused and higher power to our broadcast customers, while the Ka-band on board supports the delivery of next-generation satellite broadband services as well as intercontinental connectivity between Africa and Europe."
Several UK ISPs make use of the SES Astra Satellites' (e.g. Apogee, EuropaSat and Satellite Internet) to deliver Internet download speeds of up to around 20Mbps and the new spacecraft should add some extra capacity, redundancy and more coverage into the mix.
Prices for related services tend to start at around £10 per month for a slower connection (4Mbps) with a tiny usage allowance, while a top "unlimited" (Fair Usage Policy) service at speeds of 20Mbps will set you back closer to £70 and then there are the huge hardware and installation fees to consider (expect to pay around £400+ for both – unless you DIY it, which can be quite tricky).
Meanwhile Eutelsat and Avanti supply rival broadband satellite platforms to the UK and Europe, which feature similar capabilities. Sadly satellite data usage allowances tend to be very poor for the money and all such space-based platforms will invariably suffer from painfully slow latency times, which make them useless for fast paced multiplayer gaming and some other online tasks.
