Crosis 0
I am a USMC Veteran, I have PTSD (working on getting mine service connected, but thats another issues). I was asked by a close friend of mine who served in the US Army to write a Buddy Letter for his pending PTSD claim. I'm gong to share what I have written so far, I would appreciate some feedback on any changes I need to make.
My name is (withheld), and I've known the Veteran (withheld) listed above since the Summer of 1998. To say I just know him would be an insult to our bond, (withheld) is my brother, not by blood but by choice. We were forged in the same fires of hell. We met the Summer before High School and from that point on we went everywhere together, weekends and summers were spent together at each others parents home (along with our 2 other brothers - also Veterans).
While we were in High School before we joined the Military (Him Army, me USMC) (withheld) was super outgoing. We would go to Tournaments for the various games we played that would range from small groups of 20 to large groups over over 200 in attendance, we would go to Movies, the Mall, the Beach, he never had issues with being in Crowded places. He always had the uncanny ability to just make every situation better and fun. He was always smiling, always enjoying himself, he never had trouble sleeping, he was an all American guy that everyone was proud to call their friend.
After we enlisted and we both deployed out of country I noticed some major changes in his personality. He doesn't do well with crowded places, always has to sit with his back to a wall watching the entrances and exits, his ability to relax and just enjoy life has been stripped away from him. He doesn't sleep like he used to - nightmares, sleep disturbances, snoring, etc. He has control over his anger, but you can see it boiling inside of him. When we go places (withheld) has a happy face on, but you can see him always calculating the situation, sizing up the people around him for potential threats, and always being on guard - especially around new unknown people. Getting him to go out and do things isn't like it used to be, before it was "Hey lets go see a movie" we would get up and immediately leave to go see said movie, now its "hey lets go see a movie", and sometimes its a month before he has the energy to leave and be around people enough to see the movie
His experiences overseas have altered his personality, his demeanor, and his life to a point that he is completely different person that is being forced to learn how to adjust in society without the help and support he truly needs.
I hope this statement helps in you making the right decision to help (withheld) with his claim.
Thank you,
Any changes needed? is this sufficient?

On the evening of 7 April 1917, the 16th Australian Infantry Battalion (part of the 4th Australian Infantry Brigade which was, in turn, part of the 4th Australian Division) moved into sunken roads to the north and east of Noreuil, only a few kilometres from the Hindenburg Line, with A Company moving into outpost lines to relieve other units in the railway cutting area just south of the Hindenburg Line.
At this time a Private, Martin O'Meara VC, Australia's Irish-born Victoria Cross recipient of the First World War, was a member of the 16th Battalion's Scouting Section.
The Allied forces were pursuing the German forces towards the Hindenburg Line, and the next moves would be a series of attacks on the Hindenburg Line itself.
On 8 April 1917, the 4th Division headquarters ordered that 'strong patrols suitably supported' would be sent out on 9 April 1917 to determine the strength of German forces on the Hindenburg Line.' The 4th Brigade war diary later recorded that 'Strong patrols are being sent out by the 4th and 12th Aust. Infantry Brigades tonight to ascertain if the HINDENBURG Line is held.'
These patrols set off from the forward positions held by 4th Division units; the 16th Battalion was located along the railway line to the southeast of Bullecourt at this time. At 9.00pm that night, a special patrol was mounted to reconnoitre the German lines. It consisted of Captain Albert Jacka VC of the 14th Battalion, and Lieutenants Frank Wadge and Henry Bradley of the 16th Battalion. The 16th Battalion's war diary records that:
They got as far as the enemy's wire and found that it was badly smashed in some places but in others it was still intact. They also reported that the garrison of the Hindenburg Line was very strong and that there were no signs of probable evacuation. They reported that there was considerable enemy movement in front of his own lines in the shape of strong patrols.
Although that particular patrol was described as an 'officers' patrol', several 'other ranks' participated. As a battalion scout, it is possible that Martin O'Meara participated in this patrol, or one of the other similar patrols described earlier. He was certainly involved in some action on 9 April 1917 as he wounded in action that day with wounds to his face. He was evacuated to the Australian 4th Field Ambulance which had been operating just west of Bapaume but had recently moved and established a dressing station some three kilometres north-east, near the village of Favreuil, at 9.00am on 8 April. Favreuil was located some nine kilometres from the village of Bullecourt. Interestingly, the medical staff of the 4th Field Ambulance at this time included Major James Bentley, who Martin O'Meara would later encounter as a civilian medical officer at the Claremont Mental Hospital in Perth, after his return to Western Australia in 1918.

A Wilber man has been charged with nine felony counts of unlawful intrusion after deputies allege he planted a hidden camera in the women's bathroom at the Dorchester Farmers Cooperative, according to court documents.
Prosecutors allege Josh Hagemann, who no longer works there, recorded nine women in states of undress between Jan. 3 and Feb. 20, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday in Saline County Court.
Hagemann, 36, was taken into custody by Saline County Sheriff's deputies March 20 in the case.
On Feb. 18, a female employee of the co-op found the camera plugged into an outlet and later reported it to the Saline County Sheriff's Office, according to a search warrant affidavit.
The camera contained 19 videos, showing women in the bathroom in states of undress, the affidavit said.
Investigators discovered Hagemann had bought several cameras online, the affidavit said.
Further details about the case against Hagemann have been sealed by a judge at the request of prosecutors.
His attorney, Mark Rappl, declined to comment on the case Monday.
Hagemann was fired following his arrest, a Farmers Cooperative official said, declining further comment.
Hagemann is set to appear in court later this month and would face a maximum of 18 years in prison if convicted of all nine counts. He has been released from the Saline County jail.

It seems someone at The Wall Street Journal really likes a biting new parody of the paper — likes it enough, in fact, to leave at least one newsstand with no copies remaining for anyone else to buy.
The tabloid-format satire, "My Wall Street Journal," mostly sets out to skewer The Journal's new owner, the News Corporation, and its chairman, Rupert Murdoch, with swipes at News properties like Fox News, The New York Post and The Journal itself. It takes aim at other targets, too, including Wall Street firms and traders, and assorted politicians and pundits.
It was not supposed to go on sale until this week, but some newsstands began selling it early. Last Thursday, Alexander Laurence was working at one such stand in Los Angeles, chatting with a customer, David Metz, when, both of them say, a man in a shirt with a Journal logo asked if anyone had seen a paper that looked sort of like The Journal.
"This guy comes by all the time to bring promotional stuff for The Wall Street Journal — bags, coin trays, stickers," Mr. Laurence said.
Sure enough, they found what he was looking for. "He grabbed them all, said, 'I need to buy all of these,' " Mr. Laurence said. "He had been going around to different stands, buying them."
The man paid with a corporate American Express card. "At first he's saying they have to make a correction or it's not supposed to be out yet," Mr. Metz said. "But then he said these are not published by The Wall Street Journal."Continue reading the main story
A spokesman for The Journal, Robert H. Christie, declined to comment.
Tony Hendra, editor in chief of the satire, has experience as a creator of Journal parodies in 1982 and 1983. This time, he had contributions from a team of comedy writers, including Andy Borowitz, Richard Belzer and Terry Jones. The result will be on sale this week at newsstands and bookstores, at Amazon.com, and at wsjparody.com. Mr. Hendra, a former editor of National Lampoon, said he had not heard of anyone trying to hoard copies. "But it certainly would be good for sales," he said. "I'd find it amusing if they bought all 250,000. We could print more." RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑAContinue reading the main story

Hamleys Toy Store awnings have been a feature on Regent Street for many years and Deans are proud to have looked after them for all this time. As an indicator of spring we have just successfully recovered and serviced the Hamleys Toy Store awnings which now once again look in pristine condition. Our technicians are familiar with all types of awning and canopies and are therefore well qualified to renovate or recover systems form the most simple gear operated type right up to those with sophisticated electronic controls. If parts are required we can usually locate these or, in some cases may even make parts specially for some older awnings. In the case that the awning is beyond cost effective repair we will provide you with a free quotation for replacement.
Hamleys is the oldest and largest toy shop in the world and one of the world's best-known retailers of toys. Founded by William Hamley as "Noah's Ark" in High Holborn, London, in 1760, it moved to its current site on Regent Street in 1881. This flagship store is set over seven floors, with more than 50,000 lines of toys on sale. It is considered one of the city's prominent tourist attractions, receiving around five million visitors each year.
Regent Street was one of the first planned developments of London. An ordered layout of London streets, replacing the mediaeval layout, had been planned since just after the Great Fire of London (1666) when Sir Christopher Wren and John Evelyn drew plans for rebuilding the city on the classical formal model. After a lack of progress, houses were rebuilt on the old street network anyway. Today of course Regent Street is a major shopping street in the West End of London.

NASA to Use DNA Sequencing in Space, Potentially for Aliens As Well
There's no stopping science in conquering space as NASA is set to use the first ever DNA sequencer or a biomolecular sequencer aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
SpaceX will launch NASA's DNA Sequencer to the ISS in order to detect extraterrestrial life. https://t.co/zmcwqswMqO pic.twitter.com/DzQJ9gFEGg— Inverse (@inversedotcom) July 16, 2016
The successful cargo delivery of SpaceX to the ISS carried the DNA sequencer into space. The sequencer was sent to space to test its viability of using the machine in an environment beyond Earth. It'll also serve as a pathfinder for the future sequencing projects for deep space explorations involving humans within the Solar System including Mars.
But the DNA sequencer is also being eyed to understand how life came about and potentially for alien life. "Our research was on astrobiology and trying to understand the origins of life. One of the people there talked to one of the inventors of nanopore sequencing, and they were interested in sending one of their sequencers up as a planetary science instrument to Mars in order to search for DNA-based life," Aaron Burton Principal Investigator and astrobiologist said in an interview with NASA Spaceflight.com.
Burton added that scientists were looking at the DNA sequencing technology and its use in a non-Earth environment for years. NASA has been conducting experimentation and planning activities before an actual DNA sequencer was sent to space.
Some noted that this step is a milestone for NASA and the scientists involved in the project when it comes to the understanding of the origin of life. The DNA sequencer will be able to decode and identify microbes and to help check the health of astronauts on the ISS, according to a news report. But of course, it has to be proven to work in a non-Earth environment first before it can perform its technological potential.
Once proven effective in space, the DNA sequencer might also become a tool for detecting and identifying any type of alien life within the Solar System. This device will shorten the time needed in detecting life in space.
The specialized machine has been modified to enable it to work in microgravity. The device is wittingly called a MinION, just 120 grams and is probably lighter than a usual smartphone, according to ExtremeTech. The first stage of the mission is to prove if the device can work in microgravity.
The device is built to detect and be used with varied types of samples, including alien ones that scientists haven't dealt with before.
NASA and the scientists behind the mission are hopeful that the design of the sequencer can be useful in microgravity and that it can provide a ton of data in the future.

Jordan Peterson didn't become popular because he said one thing well.
He became popular because he's worked every day for thirty plus years to wrestle with what he believes and figure out how to teach it to people who want to learn from him. Because he was willing to share his message with a classroom full of students for most of that time, he's become good at sharing his message in a way that now impacts millions.
That's a significant difference.
He did the little things for years and now they've all united to become the big thing.
Don't underestimate the power of doing the small things today.
They eventually add up to the big thing.
As it turns out, that can be quite powerful.

Balancing Issues when Veneering a Hollow-Core MDF Table
Forum Responses
From contributor P:
You might want to do a dry run in the vacuum bag and watch for deflections. You may not like what you see. Or you may try reducing the amount of vacuum.
From the original questioner:
Thanks for the response. I have read enough in the Knowledge Base to make a case for a backer veneer, but I am using reconstituted veneer and have no experience working with the product. I have no idea what type of expansion or contraction to expect. I guess I was thinking that MDF glued to a torsion box and well sealed with 2k poly would be in my favor for keeping the top stable over time. I prefer real wood veneer, but the client likes the consistency of the grain pattern on the recon veneer. Do you guys use reconstituted veneer? Does it have the same expansion/contraction characteristics of true wood veneer? I agree and didn't think about the deflection in the bag. I will surely use the 3/4" and do a dry run first with reduced Hg to see what happens. Still curious about the recon characteristics, though, if anyone has any input.
From contributor C:
We use recon all the time. Treat it like standard sliced veneer. At the very least, use a backer paper.
I didn't even consider the effects of the vac press during the press operation. We did a lot of experiments trying to vac bag curved shapes. I would not suggest building the torsion box then veneering unless you pressurize the box; if you don't, you should follow the suggestion the responder above makes.
From contributor M:
The thought of veneering the top before building the torsion box popped up for me... You may avoid the vacuum defection problem with this if it's not too late. Would like to hear your plan and the results.
From the original questioner:
Great suggestions! I think my only option is to veneer the top skin (both sides) then fasten it to the top, unless someone has a different idea. I didn't want to do it this way because then I have no mechanical fasteners in the center of the grid where the veneer is. Unless I finish nail through the veneer then use color matched filler for the holes (don't like this either). The other issue is matching the level of the veneer with the level of the finish on the border so that the clear 2k poly top coat is dead flat. I think I will make a test panel and record the finish schedule, then rout out the center for the veneer and match the surface level. Then measure the thickness of the finish so I know if I need to remove material from the center of the table top. Should have considered this when I designed the piece.
From contributor J:
Getting the veneered field dead flush with the surrounding border, which I presume is raw MDF? That's a tricky one. I don't have a solution for that at this late hour. Yes, you should balance that panel. I'd veneer it first, both sides - then attach to the torsion box grid. Not pinning the skin isn't an issue at all. I think the way to go is glue it with the face down in the press. If it's sitting on the platten, you're not going to get scalloping in between your ribs. You may get some on the underside then if you don't reduce the pressure, but that's easier to live with than on the top.
Maybe you want to calibrate your MDF panel undersize so it's the same thickness as the surrounding field after veneer?
From contributor P:
You could pocket hole the grid to the underside of the top so you have mechanical fasteners. I would only do this with 3/4 MDF. Be careful with the screws - they can telegraph through to the good side if you don't pre-drill.
Like someone else mentioned, your bigger challenge might be leveling the field of the top and the border. You can't do much sanding on that veneer before you burn through it. That polished finish will highlight any irregularity, of course.
From the original questioner:
I admit, I'm kind of stuck on this one. The table design is such that no matter what I do it will be a lot more work than I was planning on. Live and learn (way underbid this one). I will either exert more effort in veneering the whole table in the bag after finishing (after a test run in the bag) which requires me to build a brace (will explain in a second), or veneer the top before assembly. The second option will virtually guarantee that I will be spending far more time sanding and leveling the top coat because the finish thickness will be relatively unknown.
The table design is modern and is certainly unique. Imagine a pyramid which has been elongated (so the base is rectangular instead of square), then the top of the pyramid has been sheared off. Now flip the pyramid upside down and that is how the table sits on the floor (narrower base and wider top). The angles are such that the table is completely stable. Then cut out the center of the pyramid, leaving equal thickness on the top, bottom and sides. This thing has been a compound miter monster! The table is completely assembled except for the top.
I keep going back and forth on what to do but it's time to commit. I can't postpone working on the table any longer so I think I will make a brace for the center portion and throw it in the bag for a dry run with a low Hg. I really hope I don't end up wasting my time and having to veneer the top before assembly anyway. Should inverting the table so it is laying top down on the platen prevent surface distortion or scalloping? If it does distort under the platen, I won't be able to see it.
From the original questioner:
P.S. I just realized what you were saying, contributor J, about having a separate panel for the veneered portion and the border being a separate piece. I think it would be difficult to make the top look like one solid piece, but worthy of consideration. I suppose I could leave 1/16" of veneer overhanging all 4 edges of the panel, then set the panel in place and carefully trim to fit with an Exacto knife. Seems a bid dicey though. Anyone ever use this technique?

Life in the Cold Unit
In this little unit we experimented different effective survival tests such as testing which type of winter shelter would withstand the cold weather over night, or what types of wood burn the longest. With what the weather was like outside (cold, windy) we put are experiments to the test. My group experiments which types of wood had the highest energy content and burn time.

By Marissa Roberts
On September 12, 2010, I lost my husband of 28 years. It was the worst day in my life. He was riding his bicycle that Sunday afternoon when he was struck from behind by a drunk driver. To lose him so unexpectedly was a shock and extremely painful. He was very active and healthy.
These past 12 months have been very difficult, but I am so thankful for my faith, family and wonderful friends who have been there and continue to be there for me in so many ways. Still, my desire is that no other family experiences the horrific pain that my family and I have experienced due to someone driving drunk.
Tim's death has had a huge impact on my life. I no longer have my husband to talk to, to make decisions, to spend my days and nights with, to hold me and to go out with. We loved doing things together: going on bike rides, playing tennis, traveling, spending time with family and friends, going to movies or out to dinner, watching basketball games, attending church and church related activities, and going out for ice cream. How he loved ice cream!
Tim often brought me flowers "just because" and surprised me with trips. He always provided for our family and never missed any of our daughters' games, plays, school activities or any other special moments in their lives. He was a family man, and after God, we were his first priorities. I miss his corny jokes, his touch, his voice, his advice, his financial wisdom, his great smile and laugh, and yes, even his overcooked pancakes and hamburgers. What I wouldn't give to eat one of those right now!
I miss not waking up next to Tim in the mornings and I dread going to bed alone night after night. Now he will not be there for the weddings of three of our daughters. He won't get to watch his grandchildren grow up--our fifth grandchild, Taygen Timothy, was born on December 26, but Tim didn't get to hold him. We won't get to spend our retirement years together--we often talked about our future plans, hopes and dreams. We won't get to grow old together, and he won't get to do so many things he wanted to do.
Those who choose to drink and drive need to be held accountable. There must be severe consequences; otherwise, many more lives will be lost as a result of drunk drivers. It shouldn't take four or more DUI's for this to occur. Please, please, please NEVER drive drunk!

With a new head coach a possibility, the Oakland Raiders may also replace Michael Crabtree as Amari Cooper's sidekick.
After going 12-4 last year, the Oakland Raiders were looking forward to taking the next step with Derek Carr healthy this year. But it was not to be, with a 6-9 record entering Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Head coach Jack Del Rio may be fired, and replaced by Jon Gruden. But the Raiders are reportedly ready to move on from a key player as well.
According to Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Raiders are ready to move on from wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Crabtree leads the team in receptions (56) and receiving touchdowns (eight) through 15 games this year, and he's second on the team in receiving yards (601). But his production has fallen lately, with 23 receptions over the last six games and less than 60 yards in five of those games. Gehlken also reported a "measure of dysfunction" behind the scenes between Crabtree and the team.
Crabtree had 174 catches over the 2015 and 2016 seasons, and he has 25 touchdowns over his three seasons with the Raiders. But that may not be not worth the $7 million he's due to make next season, at age 31, in the third year of the four-year contract extension he signed late in 2015.
The Raiders can release Crabtree and carry no dead money on the salary cap, which is a huge factor in any decision to let him go. That extra space can be used to add a younger No. 2 wide receiver to go with Amari Cooper, and Khalil Mack is next in line for a contract extension very soon.
There is a market for productive possession receivers. So if the Raiders do cut him, even with off-field drama apparently paving the way for his exit, Crabtree should have no trouble finding a new team.

INTERVIEW: Amy Guyton of The Kentucky Initiative on PACs, money in politics, & reasonable candidates!
It's possible that Amy Guyton might be my new best friend and she should be yours too. Speaking with her about The Kentucky Initiative, Guyton is a beacon of hope in dark times, a staunch defender of the democratic shared voice that we all have. With no background in politics, but a fire in her stomach, Guyton helped form the Kentucky Initiative, a grassroots organization aimed at progressive reform in the state. Through their endeavors, Guyton and company hope to keep politicians honest and pressure people in authority to work in service to their constituents, and not just the people holding the purse strings. It's an inspiring message and one that warms our hearts here, for certain.
We caught up with Guyton to get the details on The Kentucky Initiative, money in politics, and what a good candidate might look like!
Never Nervous: Before we get into the Kentucky Initiative, what can you tell us about yourself?
Amy Guyton: I have run a small business for 14 years. I prefer to keep that separate from my political work simply, because my office is a neutral zone. I have a background in exercise physiology and have combined that with orthopedic massage and corrective stretching/strengthening to help people with acute/chronic pain patterns. Outside of work, you can find me at the Parklands with binoculars. I am novice birder and a big nature lover. And to make life real interesting, Nov 1st of last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankfully, it was caught relatively early and I will make a full recovery. It made me realize how much universal health care is a necessity. The diagnosis was a total life altering moment. No doubt.
NN: What's your background?
AG: My background in politics? Absolutely no background in politics. This last year has been an accelerated version of a self-induced internship or radical immersion. I am a quick learner, thankfully. I was a life-long registered Independent. I changed my registration, so I could vote for Bernie in the primary in '16. My first primary, ever. I have been a Bernie fan for over a decade. His message has moved me for a long time and I was compelled to get involved because doing nothing was no longer an option.
NN: How did you get involved in the initiative? How did the Kentucky Initiative start?
AG: I started the Initiative after the 2 unnatural disasters: Bevin being elected then 45. The visceral gut punch both times was almost too much to bear. And I did a lot of digging into KY politics and the state of the Dem party. And well. There is a lot of work to be done. Representative Marzian and Senator McGarvey had an event on Jan 14, 2017. This is after the session had started with the fresh new super majority in Frankfort. They had already passed Right to Work and the ultrasound bill among other terrible legislation. Mary Lou gave an impassioned plea to get involved and said we had to get the House back. It moved me deeply. So, I started researching and found that in 2016 alone, 25 districts out of 100 did not even run Democrat. Many of these districts have not run a Dem in many cycles. And what really blew my mind is that 3 Jefferson Co districts didn't run a Dem which I found totally unacceptable.
"I started the Initiative after the 2 unnatural disasters: Bevin being elected then 45. The visceral gut punch both times was almost too much to bear."
NN: Is it at all tied to our current administration?
AG: Yes, it is tied to the Bevin circus. While everyone else rushed to do Indivisible to fight/resist 45 and DC, I thought to myself that we need to do that here locally. We have more power and the ability to change things locally. The more I do this work the more I absolutely believe that we can make powerful changes closer to home. Plus, what comes after all the resisting and marches? Electoral change. This is one of the goals. So, I have dedicated this last year to this mission. Channeling the resistance energy into electoral changed directly targeted at the KY House of Reps.
NN: For anyone that might not know, what is a PAC?
AG: In KY, a PAC is called a "permanent action committee". We are only a KY PAC with no federal designation. The application requires a sponsor. Sponsors are usually titans of industry like coal or chamber of commerce types. Our sponsor? "concerned citizens"
NN: What does it do?
AG: We cannot coordinate with candidates. But, we can support candidates and platforms. We can also oppose candidates and platforms, with a vengeance. We will be doing both of these things. The most we can accept from any one donor is $2000 annually. And we do not accept anonymous donations or money from corporations. We have recently filed for a 527 status, which allows us to take larger donations.
We still have committed to not taking anonymous donations or corporate money. Our job is to basically saturate candidate's districts on social media or on the ground. We are like ninjas doing the supporting and or opposition work silently via Facebook targeting, etc. Our mission is also to force the Republicans to bleed out money. They haven't had to meaningfully spend money or canvas or connect in areas like NKY for the last decade. For every dollar, we spend we expect them to spend $3. Essentially, make them actually work for it instead of having the pleasure of just waltzing into office.
"We cannot coordinate with candidates. But, we can support candidates and platforms. We can also oppose candidates and platforms, with a vengeance. We will be doing both of these things."
NN: What does the motto "people before politics" mean?
AG: So, we all know about the Koch Bros. at this point and the arm of the Kochtopus which is ALEC. ALEC pushes canned legislation; a perfect example is Right to Work. This legislation is simply putting corporate greed ahead of the betterment of working people. The Republicans toe party line and take their marching orders from ALEC. I find this fascinating because the party of less government seems to not be living up to their own rhetoric. Case and point – women's repro rights (or lack thereof). It is hard to understand so much of the legislation being jammed through that is simply not good for most Kentuckians, especially the working class and working poor. The needs of the people should come before politics. So much of what Bevin is trying to do is simply not good for KY. The politics scorecard, the ultimate manipulation and thirst for power comes before the needs of constituents.
NN: What does it mean to be a good candidate?
AG: Passion. Level headed determination. A sense of humor. Good solid trusted people around you. A strong root system in your district. The willingness to learn and evolve. I think this question would be best answered by someone that has actually been a candidate, honestly. Rep. Joni Jenkins is a great example of a person with passion for what she does and she is willing to evolve on an issue. She has been very forthcoming about this. It is a learning curve and the ability to be open and willing to grow is ideal.
NN: What should someone know going into the process?
AG: You aren't doing this to make a lot of money. This job doesn't pay much and can take up a lot of time. So, one should be driven by the need to be a public servant. We would also like to see this job be considered a full-time position with a salary that is not laughable. This is why so many legislators are attorneys, real estate agents, insurance agents, etc. The pay is so low and the time commitment is so much that everyday folks literally cannot afford to do it. This should be considered civic duty and treated as such. Until this is addressed, it is hard for the face of the House to mirror everyday Kentuckians.
NN: How can someone balance their time in becoming a public servant and maintaining any privacy, or should they expect that?
AG: I think this question is best asked to someone that has actually been through it or is currently a Rep. Often when we talk to folks that have interest in running, we connect them with Reps so they can get a clear picture of what they are signing up for!
NN: Relative to that, what constitutes a bad candidate?
AG: We can use Jack Conway as an example. He was anointed. It was his turn. He jumped through all the solid political hoops, had millions and millions of dollars. He may be the nicest of guys, but as a candidate? Nope. Folks were not moved or inspired. Money alone will not win a race. The candidate must connect, have passion, stand for something and not just say how much the opponent sucks. And there are many within the party that also ghost recruit and use power as a tool to push their agenda through anointed candidates. It is a thing, for sure. It is unfortunate that some establishment staples in Frankfort continue to be toxic. I often wonder what the end game is with these folks, and have yet to figure it out. It is dumb.
NN: Is it just policy or are there other qualities that may turn a public off?
AG: Bevin was a bad candidate each time he ran for an office, because of his policies and personality. But, here we are.
NN: I realize the above question about PACs may field this, but how can anyone afford to go into politics?
AG: Federally? That is a whole separate beast. I am working on a congressional campaign now, too. I am learning how this is done as well. I can report back! Locally? It is still a challenge. I know to run this PAC, I could not have done it if I had a set 9-5 schedule at my "paying" job. The amount of time I have spent weekly equates to a full-time job, unpaid. I do not turn down the opportunity to learn how all of this works. So, the number of meetings I have had, the traveling I have done this last year alone was epic. I do all of this simply because I want to then turn it on its head. Let us not go into the world of "political consulting" — this is my current fascination. Along with several other women, we are going to launch a consulting firm in 2019. There is a serious lack of women and especially women of color in the world of KY politics. This is going to change.
NN: How would you like to see campaign financing reformed, if at all?
AG: Big money out of politics. Period. Dems and Repubs. They are both guilty as charged. At a certain level, the lines are blurred and it is just class distinction. Those with money get to make the decisions. Those with the most money get to run the organizations, because those large donations are never without strings. This becomes deeper than party affiliation. It is simply about those who have money or access to big money and the rest of us. It is exhausting and disappointing and frustrating.
"Big money out of politics. Period. Dems and Repubs. They are both guilty as charged. At a certain level, the lines are blurred and it is just class distinction. Those with money get to make the decisions."
NN: For anyone interested, how can they become involved?
AG: We have a pretty heft monetary goal that is fueled by small donations. Our goal is 350k to effectively target 12 districts that we are committed to like NKY and 3 districts in Jefferson Co. Every dollar has a job: www.kyinitiative.org/donate
NN: Where can we learn more about potential candidates in upcoming races?
AG: We have targeted specific districts, so people can always go to our FB page to learn more. We not only share our targeted districts info we share all things KY politics including what is happening in the legislative session.
NN: What can we take away from our current state leadership on how to improve?
AG: Oh, we have no leadership in Frankfort currently. It is a dumpster fire.
NN: Same question, but what about federal government?
AG: Dumpster Fire.
NN: How can we effectively push for progressive values?
AG: We push for progressive values by getting off the sidelines. We push for progressive values by getting involved and by involved that does not include complaining on Facebook or starting a FB group to complain collectively. There is plenty to do. I had no idea what the hell I was doing and quickly figured out that those with "power" or "title" also have no idea what they are doing either. We get progressive values elevated by showing up and doing the unglamorous work.
The best thing about this unglamorous and unpaid work? I have met some truly amazing human beings that have changed thecourse of my life. What brought us together? Our commonality of work. Of humanity. Family. Love. Friendship. I have a solid tribe that I would have never met otherwise, and I don't know what my life would be now without them in it.
"We have no leadership in Frankfort currently. It is a dumpster fire."
NN: Tangential, but certainly related to this, how can anyone hope to impart progressive ideals under an administration, but at the state and federal
level, that so vehemently combats those concepts?
AG: Keep calling. Keep showing up. Keep demanding change. Every day. RUN FOR OFFICE. And simply, we are the party even outside of the establishment currently considered the party. We do not need to wait around for permission. We just dig in and keep pushing.
NN: What's on the playlist for the folks at The Kentucky Initiative and why?
AG: Music gets me through. Sitting for hours returning emails, researching, tracking, archiving. Traveling back and forth from Frankfort. In heavy heavy rotation:
Sigur Ros ( ) and Takk
Black Sabbath – Paranoid and Master of Reality
Interpol – Turn on the Bright Lights
Pixies – all of it especially Doolittle
Neurosis – Enemy of the Sun and Through Silver in Blood
Shellac – At Action Park
Jay-Z – the Black Album
A Tribe Called Quest – all of it
Outkast – Aquemini
Crain – Speed

When I was in kindergarten, I remember sitting in the front seat on his car. He would send me everyday, and I was the coolest kid on the block. My friends looked at me different, but I was sitting in a car in the front without a booster seat. One day, he sold the car- I was disappointed.
It was years later in secondary school, he got a new car (it was a rental). I saw less and less of him. I would wake up for school and he'd just came home. Some days, he would get up to send me. The car smelled like perfume and cigarettes. I overheard mum and dad fighting- I suspected him of cheating on her.
I swore to move out once I had the money to.
He could afford the rental for the car, so I worked as a night club promoter in polytechnic- I didn't want to be home. I would come back at 4am every weekend. He would sit in the living room with a bowl of soup in the kitchen. Once my keys were in, he'll walk to the bedroom. He probably didn't know I saw him- it warmed my heart, but I didn't know how to say anything.
I have a proper job now, I work 9-5. Some days I come home late, but never past midnight. And when I smell the perfect combination of perfume and cigarettes, I'd remember the backaches Dad used to have driving the night shift picking up drunks from the clubs. When I'm in the back of the taxi, I'd remember watching Dad's hands on the steering wheel in perfect circular motion.
I sometimes imagine as my keys enter the door, I'll see Dad walking back into the room with a bowl of soup on the kitchen table.

I have zero result Why?
Typical reasons
- A massive s-channel particle has a width set to zero.
- The pdf are zero for at least one of the initial state particles.
- The cuts are too strong.
- For decay computation the mass of the final state is larger than the mass of the initial state.
Please take a look at your Cards (param_card/ run_card)
More particular reason
In presence of 4 point interactions and if you have diagram with 3 point interaction but that the coupling are such that all 3 point interaction are zero, MG can fail to integrate the 4 point interactions. We advice you to use a restricted model whithout those superfluous 3 point interactions and MG will integrate correctly the 4 point interaction diagram.

Voting and the Photo ID
MYTH: I can't vote because I don't have Photo ID.
TRUTH: Voting absentee by mail does not require a Photo ID. When voting in person, you will be asked to show one of the following Photo IDs:
• SC Driver's License
• SC Department of Motor Vehicles ID Card
• SC Voter Registration Card with Photo
• Federal Military ID
• US Passport
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THESE PHOTO IDS, YOU ARE READY TO VOTE. Be sure to bring your Photo ID with you to the polling place.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE OF THESE PHOTO IDs, make your voting experience as fast and easy as possible by getting a free Photo ID from your county voter registration and elections office or your local DMV office.
• If you're already registered to vote, go to your county voter registration and elections office, provide your date of birth and the last four digits of your Social Security Number. Then, have your photo taken. Click here for Attire & Appearance guidelines for photographs.
• If you are not yet registered, you need to register to vote first. You can register and have your photo taken on the same day; however, you must have registered by May 10 in order to participate in the June 10 Primary. If you've missed the deadline, go ahead and register and get a Photo ID. You'll be ready for next time. Click here to learn more about registering to vote.
• To learn how to get a DMV ID card, call or visit your local DMV office or visit scdmvonline.com.
IF YOU FORGET TO BRING YOUR PHOTO ID TO YOUR POLLING PLACE, you may vote a provisional ballot that will count only if you show your Photo ID to the election commission prior to certification of the election (usually Thursday or Friday after the election).
IF YOU CAN'T GET A PHOTO ID, bring your non-photo voter registration card with you to the polling place. You may vote a provisional ballot after signing an affidavit stating you have a reasonable impediment to obtaining Photo ID. A reasonable impediment is any valid reason, beyond your control, which created an obstacle to obtaining a Photo ID. Some examples include:
• a disability or illness
• a conflict with your work schedule
• a lack of transportation
• a lack of a birth certificate
• family responsibilities
• a religious objection to being photographed
• any other obstacle you find reasonable
This ballot will count unless someone proves to the election commission that you are lying about your identity or about having the listed impediment.
To vote under the reasonable impediment exception:
1. Inform the poll managers that you do not have a photo ID and could not get one.
2. Present your current, non-photo registration card.
3. Sign the affidavit provided by the poll managers stating why you could not obtain a Photo ID.
4. Cast a provisional ballot that will be counted unless the county election commission has reason to believe your affidavit is false.

Best Rock Guitar Soloistszxm These legends are the best rock and metal guitar soloists.
The Top Ten
Sad thing is, he HAS talent. Just chooses to waste it with endless shredded scales. A constant "Hey, look at what I can do! " Crushing bore.
Perfect combination of fast and melodic, and my personal favorite guitarist. - Brobusky
Should be #1 in my opinion. paradise city outro solo so underrated..
He is my #1, if I consider all aspects of playing and musicianship, and also pay attention to innovation, improvisation and live performances. And last but not least, he created metal guitar solo as we know it now (Highway Star). - Metal_Treasure
I'd add him sooner or later.But just had to wait for the list to be approved. - zxm
His exeptional talent lays in endless improvisations during live-concerts. On records his solos are restricted. Take a listen to his " Isle of Wight 1970 " concert and you will understand. In my opinion he was way much better than Jimmy Page in concerts when it comes to improvisation. Should be higher.
If you don't know he's #1 by several miles, you don't know anything about the ax.
Try this: Jeff Loomis - Miles of Machines. - Metal_Treasure
The Contenders
His best work can be heard on his " Cream " records. Listen to his BBC sessions and to " Cream " concerts.
Gave a mediocre singer his ticket to stardom. Yes, that would be Rod Stewart.
He was in many rock bands - zxm
"Rock? " Uh, no. Blues. Tired of words having no meaning.

Pigs, pigs, glorious pigs.6 Comments
Two blog posts in three days, I feel as if I'm spamming! However, I thought I better mention that we have some new arrivals. This morning three Pedigree Berkshire gilts came to Felin y Glyn. We've never reared Berkshire's before, so it's a bit of a new one for us. So, why Berkshire? Well, during our HCC Scholarship tour last year, it seemed that everyone we spoke to in Vancouver swore by them. We found Berkshire meat products everywhere, from high end restaurants to street corner food vendors. In Japan they're known as Kurobuta and are highly sought after for their marbled meat. So, we thought we'd give them a go – ones destined for our own bellies, the other two for bacon and charcuterie products.
Earlier in the year while scrabbling to find local producers to supply animals I came across the details of Mandy and Derek Colbourne in a BPA magazine. They have a beautiful smallholding on the Carmarthenshire/Pembrokeshire border called Glyn Elwyn where they keep herds of Berkshire, Gloucester Old Spot and Middle White pigs as well as flocks of Ryeland and Greyface Dartmoor Sheep.
Having had lie-ins till 7am for the past few weeks, it was time to relish the very last one today, as it'll be a case of getting up early from now on to feed the new arrivals. As it's turned cold this last week and the little ones have only just weaned, they'll be kept in for the next few months on deep straw beds. I'll post some decent pictures soon, and we'll probably have another of our naming competitions (bacon for the winner!).

Lovely news!
Oh, and have you lost weight?
If you keep asking, one of these days I'll acquiesce and provide you with some free bacon. Last chance to buy some Dai Womble this week 😉
Julie Taylor
You do look remarkably slim in this picture. Please don't sell all of the womble burgers yet – i want some and I can't get to you til the 10th!!!!
Just found your blog and enjoying having a mooch about. I knew of your business but not your story – it's wonderful and I hope the business is going well for you.
Love Berkshires! We had a pair in the nineties in Wiltshire called Sooty and Sweep when we ran an organic veg box scheme (plus meat). We know Mandy & Derek too. You've set me thinking we should get some more pigs soon….
Hi Juliet, I think we've tweeted in the past? There's always room for some pigs! Business is growing, demand is incredible, hoping to have a larger processing space next year. We'll also be providing a cutting and curing service for smallholders. If you ever need anyone to teach curing courses or sausage courses at the Smallholding Training Centre, please do drop me a line. Blatant plug on my behalf – we've got a doc about the business on S4C tonight at 9pm!
Yes, you're right we have. I'm on Twitter in 2 guises, @JulietFay (marketing skills for rural businesses) and @smallfarmfuture. Will keep you in mind as a potential trainer. – curing would be good. We have a small scale poultry abattoir here & we've run a few evisceration and poultry cutting courses already. We plan to open end 2013. You can follow our blog to keep up with developments.
Will try and catch your programme tonight (have to be subtitles for me!).

Eugene, OR — The 4th ranked Beavers took an early lead with a combination of great pitching and an explosive offense and never looked back Sunday afternoon against the Oregon Ducks, taking game three and the series by a score of 12-2.
Jake Reed (6-4) took the loss with 2.2 innings of work allowing 8 hits and 7 runs, only two being earned. The Beaver's offense jumped all over Reed early. With a combination of hits and a few bad plays on defense, Oregon State pushed to a comfortable lead and it was ultimately enough to push them to victory.
Oregon State (43-9, 22-5 Pac-12) took the lead scoring 7 runs in the first three innings that included a huge 5-run 2nd inning. Beaver's slugger Michael Conforto capped the five-run inning off with a grand slam off of Duck's starter Jake Reed to put Oregon State up 6-0.
Beaver's starter Ben Wetzler (7-1) put together an efficient 6.1 innings against the Oregon offense to pick up the win, allowing just one earned run on 6 hits and 1 walk. Oregon State's pitching has propelled the Beavers to victories many times this season and their dominance continued this weekend, keeping Oregon hitters guessing at the plate.
Oregon (43-13, 20-7 Pac-12) threatened to score in the bottom of the 2nd but Max Gordon made yet another outstanding diving catch in right center field to rob J.J Altobelli of an extra base hit. This is the second time the Beaver's center fielder has robbed Oregon of a chance to score, this time with the bases loaded and in a crucial situation.
The Ducks were able to get some production in the middle innings. Mitchell Tolman came around to score on Scott Heineman's single up the middle for his 35th RBI on the season. Heineman was the only Duck with two hits on the day; four others added one each: Shaun Chase, Tyler Baumgartner, Aaron Payne and Ryan Hambright.
The bullpen for Oregon also struggled; Jimmy Sherfy and Garret Cleavinger came in to get some work but in the process allowed 4 runs on 6 hits – a very unusual scene for the consistently dependable relievers.
Oregon is now two games behind the Oregon State Beavers in the Pac-12 standings with just three games left to play. If both teams win their final match ups of the season then they should each obtain a top-8 seed to host regional play for the NCAA baseball postseason.
The Ducks travel to Corvallis, Oregon, on Tuesday to face the Beavers in a non-conference game that won't count towards the Pac-12 standings, but winning the game will help in getting a better regional seed and propel the Ducks into the playoffs with victory momentum.

Creative Writing Starters for Typing Practice
As teachers, how can we foster creative thinking in our classrooms? One of the easiest ways is through creative writing.
And coincidentally, there is a direct connection that can be made between creative writing and mastering typing.
One of the main goals in learning to touch type is to get to the level where you can type as you think.
Touch typists can keep their eyes on the screen rather than their fingers, thus, allowing them to seamlessly get their ideas down on the page.
What better way to celebrate and reinforce touch typing than through creative writing!
Not sure how to get students started with creative writing? Here are some ideas you can use to help spark a creative writing session.
Creative Writing Prompt Ideas
1. Scholastic Story Starters is a fun online tool to help students grades K-6 to jump into creative writing. Students start by choosing a theme such as adventure or fantasy. They then pull a digital lever that randomly generates a creative writing prompt by giving them a format, character, and scenario. (i.e. Write a thank you letter to a humble explorer who saved your spaceship.) The prompt possibilities are endless and an easy place for kids to get started!
2. Have students base their writing on an image. Choose a thought-provoking, perplexing, or interesting photo or piece of art and ask students to generate a piece of writing based on what they see. You can give as much or as little structure as you like. Maybe students need to write a dialogue between the two people in the photo that explains what's going on.
3. Provide students with creative writing prompts or story starters. There are tons of these online to choose from. Here are a few of our favorites:
- If you could, would you want to visit the moon? Write a speech convincing your classmates to agree with you.
- Imagine you were 20 feet tall. Describe what life would be like.
- Describe your ideal life when you're 30 years old.
- Where is your favorite place in the world? Describe it and tell why you love it.
- Imagine you had a hundred dollars, but you couldn't keep it. You had to give it away to a person or charity. Who would you give it to? What would you want them to do with it?
- Invent and describe a new food.
- What would you do if 300 mice had just gotten out of their cages in a pet shop where you worked?
- What would you do if you could travel into the past?
- Invent a monster and describe it. Tell where it lives, what it eats, and what it does.
- Think about an incident that happened to you and exaggerate in the telling. Make it into a tall tale.
- What law would you like to see enacted which would help people? How would it help?
- Be a building you know well. Talk about your life and memories.
- If you could go somewhere where you've never gone before, where would you go and why?
- Is there a machine you feel you could not live without? Explain.
- What is it like to go shopping with your mother?
- If you had to escort a visitor from outer space for a 30-minute tour of your community, where would you begin and end?
- I really hate it when my mother/father/sibling…
- It started out as an unusual Monday morning when I…
- If you could be a character in any book, TV show, or movie, who would you be and why?
- What would be your ideal job when you grow up? Explain.
Regardless of how you set your students up to get their creative writing juices flowing, throughout it all, encourage students to only look at their computer screens, as the best writing comes from uninterrupted thought.
Once your students are in the creative writing groove, a great way to showcase exemplary student work is with EduTyping's custom lessons.
Teachers can pick student stories and use them to create custom typing lessons for the whole class.
This is a great way to celebrate writing and students will feel an immense sense of pride when their story is chosen.
Get creative in thinking about how you can develop and reinforce these two essential skills in your classroom!

Love this idea. I will certainly try it next term.
Thank you for these great ideas.
To start the new year I will try this: I will give to the students a photo of a person. Each student will have a different person (old, teen, doctor, actress, baby, etc) The students should write the new resolutions for that person and they should explain why.

Non-profit or For-profit; What's the Difference?
Helping you navigate which type of entity is best for you and your business
After you've dreamt up your idea you may start daydreaming about ways to build revenue. You may feel passionate about making a difference in your community and improving people's lives; but you also need to figure out how to put food on the table and support your family. Is your idea something that could be considered a "cause" that would qualify for grants and charitable giving? We will discuss many of the pros and cons of being a 501 3 versus an LLC and help you answer important questions around your comfort in being accountable to others, "owning" your own idea, working for yourself, and deferred gratification (and profit) versus immediate financial gain.
Please join us for this insightful Topical Tuesday, led by Megan Milligan, CEO + President of Iowa Center for Economic Success.
Megan Milligan was born and raised in Edina, MN. After college at Loyola Chicago and New York University, she took her first job at Guiding Light Soap Opera in NYC. After time spent at PBS, Comedy Central and Miramax Films, Megan took a break to spend a year working for a small French NGO in South Sudan. Sixteen years later and a move to Des Moines, Megan has settled in with her family and is enjoying this incredible community. Prior to her role at The Iowa Center, Megan was the Vice President of Advancement, overseeing the Anawim Housing Foundation. She also ran her own business: a strategic planning and fund development consulting firm, as well as owned a BBQ restaurant. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends as well as serving on various boards and committees over the years including Broadlawns Gathering in the Garden, Des Moines Playhouse Hollywood Halloween Gala, Alzheimer's Association Board, Department of Cultural Affairs Gala, 100 + Women Who Care, and Salon 4700.

So Far recovery group looking for mentors
By Kelly Terpstra, firstname.lastname@example.com
If you're struggling with substance abuse, there's help here in Charles City.
So Far, a recovery group that stands for Sober For a Reason, is looking to team up with the Second Judicial District Department of Correctional Services in Mason City to help those who are fighting an addiction they can't control.
"The purpose of this project that we're doing is to team up people who are sober with people who are trying to get sober," said So Far member Dave Holschlag.
Holschlag, owner of Dave's Restaurant in Charles City, recently hosted a So Far meeting that came up with the idea to help out those who may need some guidance to overcome a substance abuse issue.
So Far will distribute questionnaires or forms for people who are willing to mentor or help someone in the area who is struggling with a drug or alcohol problem. In turn those forms will be given to the DOC in Mason City. Once the DOC has the questionnaires, it will match up people of like interests, similar age backgrounds, etc., for one-on-one mentoring.
"If you want to help somebody, we'll get your criteria on here and then the Department of Corrections can match you up with somebody who is struggling and then you can encourage them. That's what this is really about," Holschlag said.
The Second Judicial District Department of Corrections comprises 22 counties in northern Iowa, including Floyd County.
Holschlag said his group is in the early stages of putting the program together, but he has made out forms for anyone who is willing to become a mentor. Some of the questions on the form are:
• What type of social activities do you like?
• Are you a recovering addict?
• Are you in a recovery program?
• How many years have you been sober?
"The DOC believes that … somebody who's successfully in recovery has a better understanding of what it's like to get sober than anybody else," said Holschlag. "If we can team up people one-on-one on a small-scale basis, it's much more effective than having great big, large groups."
The idea came about after someone in the So Far group said they thought there were at least 200 recovering addicts in Charles City who would love to help out people if they just knew what they could do to help, according to Holschlag.
So Far is a volunteer-based organization that wants to promote a substance-free lifestyle and deter drug use in Charles City and surrounding communities. It has been in existence for more than two years.
"Every person is important," said Holschlag. "Only that person can make the decision to get help. If we can put the avenues in place so when they're ready to get help …, that's what we're trying to do."
So Far meets 7-8 p.m. Thursdays at Dave's Restaurant. Anyone looking to mentor and fill out a questionnaire can attend a meeting or stop by the restaurant. Anyone interested can also contact Gus Meyer at 515-227-3823.

Records players are cheap, plentiful and easy to come by. I understand if you're living in a shelter or your car; but if you can get yourself an ipod, an X-Box, a DVD player and a laptop, there is no reason why a such a self-respecting hip-hop head shouldn't have a record player. Trust me, there's no reason to be intimidated by the various models, features, etc. Unless you're a hardcore DJ, you really don't need to know about types of drives, needles, etc.

Enterprise Law 2014: Piercing corporate veil
Set out below are the cases where the Enterprise Law 2014 allows piercing corporate veil (i.e. making a shareholder/member of a company liable for the liabilities of the company). This post is prepared by VILAF legal staffs, Nguyen Bich Ngoc and Ha Kieu Anh.
1) Withdraw contributed capital not in accordance with laws
In a single member limited liability company ("Single-member LLC ")
a) The owner of a Single-member LLC may withdraw capital only by way of assignment of a part or all of the charter capital to other organization(s) or individual(s); in the case of withdrawal of all or part of its contributed capital from the company in another form then the owner and the relevant individual(s), organization(s) must be jointly liable for debts and other property obligations of the company.
In a joint stock company ("JSC")
b) Ordinary shareholders are not allowed to withdraw the ordinary share capital contributed from the company in any form, except where shares are redeemed by the company or other persons. Where a shareholder withdraws a part or all of the capital contributed not in accordance with this clause, the shareholder and the relevant person having benefits in the company will be jointly liable for debts and other property obligations of the company to the extent of the value of shares withdrawn.
2) Undercapitalization
In a Single-member LLC
The owner of a Single-member LLC will bear responsibilities by all of the owner's property for the financial obligations and losses of the company arising from the owner's failure to contribute, failure to contribute in full, failure to contribute in time charter capital.
3) Fraud
In a limited liability company with two or more members ("Multi-member LLC")
Members of a Multi-member LLC must bear personal responsibilities (chịu trách nhiệm cá nhân) when performing the following acts in the name of the company:
a) Violating the laws;
b) Conducting business or other transactions not in the interest of the company and causing damage to other persons; and
c) Paying off undue debts when there is a financial danger facing the company.
The words "bear personal responsibilities" may make one confused whether a member being organization who performs such acts will be liable for any loss therefrom to the company or in other words, whether those cases may lead to piercing corporate veil against members being individuals only. That said, one may argue that this provision provides a common obligation of members of a Multi-member LLC and a member being organization may be liable for any obligations arising from the aforementioned acts conducted by its authorized representative, and thus, "bear personal responsibility" should be interpreted as "be self-responsible for".
4) Self-interest transactions
Members of a Multi-member LLC, owner of a Single-member LLC, and shareholders of a JSC may bear responsibility for losses to company and must pay back benefits to the company if they enter into transactions with related persons without complying with approval procedures under the Enterprise Law 2014.
5) Interfering into subsidiary company's business beyond the authority
Where the parent company interferes beyond the authority of the owner, member or shareholder, and compels a subsidiary company to conduct business operations inconsistently with normal business practices or conduct unprofitable activities without reasonable compensation in a relevant fiscal year, causing damage to the subsidiary company, the parent company will be responsible for such damage.

THE DUKE or CUMBERLAND.—On Monday week, Captain Ache, author of
the Spirit of the Book, a work which made a great deal of noise in the days of the late Queen, was arrested on a' barge of sending a letter threatening to assassinate the Duke of Cu erland. It appears
the Captain had sent a manuscript to his Royal ness, with an int!. mation that it might be suppressed for a considers, i and.it was net. Cher returned nor was the consideration paid. An cer had leen em- ployed in dogging the captain for some threeweeks orevious to his arrest, and on one occasion he followed him no less, than ry miles. This, by the by, is very like the monchard system. The examination was gone about at Bow Street with all that ridiculotie air of mystery with which the affairs of the great are treated there. To prevent the prying eyes of the penny-a-line men, Mr. Maule, the Treasury Solicitor, was intro- duced, not through the office, but through the chief officer's house ; and the Captain was as completely au secret as if he had been planning, like Polignac, the destruction of a constitution. Sonic sympathy has thus been excited for a very unworthy object. It is evident that if the manuscript in question was one that it concerned the public to know, the offer to suppress it was extremely dishonourable; and if it did not, the attempt to sell it was yet baser. The Duke did right to throw it in the fire, and send its impudent and unprincipled owner about his business. Captain Ashe was committed to Newgate on Wednesday, with as much mystery as he had been detained.
RIOT AT BRENTFOILD.—A desperate riot occurred at Brentford on Tuesday night, arising from a post-boy's having struck a gentleman across the face with a whip. The fellow was immediately lodged in the Station-house of the New Police, when a rescue was attempted by a mob which had assembled. They broke eighty-five panes of glass, and would have proceeded to farther violence, but for the arrival of Colonel Clitheroe and a body of policemen. Several of the ringleaders tvere taken into cus- tody, and underwent an examination in the morning before Colonel Cli- theroe and Dr. Walmesley. Mr. Low, a master shoemaker, was con- victed in the penalty of 5/.; and S. Lewis, J. Mead, T. Derider, and W. Parker, in the mitigated penalty of 20s. each. The other prisoners were discharged, after entering into recognizances for twelve months. MURDERS.—A very atrocious and deliberate murder took place near Cupar, in Fifeshire, about a month ago. The victim was a man named Miller, a master weaver. Miller, it appears, manufactured only for private families : he kept two or three workmen ; and one of these, named Henderson, the supposed murderer, lodged in the house with him. Miller had been missing for nearly a month, but, as lie was a retired and rather eccentric man, his absence was little inquired about. When inquiries were at length made, Henderson stated that he had gone to Edinburgh to superintend a lawsuit in which he was engaged with the Earl of Leven. Last Saturday, to a renewed demand of some neighbour, Henderson answered that Miller had that day returned, and, after stopping some time, had again departed for Dunfermline. An hour after, Henderson departed for the same place. He was no sooner gone than the curiosityof thepeople promptedithem to examine the house. Thefloor, it was found, had been recently disturbed ; but nothing wasfound there, the soil being only about a foot deep. They then examined the garden ; and in the middle of a footpath leading through it, they found the buried body of the murdered man; the skull of which was almost beat flat, evi- dently from blows by a heavy blunt instrument. Henderson was in. gently pursued, and next morning he was arrested. He denies all par- ticipation of the crime.—The Scotch are progressing in the art of mur- der ; and in atrocity of circumstances, they will soon rival, if not sur- pass the Irish. We must at the same time confess, to their credit, that they generally contrive to punish the criminals. There have • been no undiscovered affairs of this kind to the North • of the Tweed for manys years. With all our superiority of magistracy and police, we cannot beast so much.
Another murder, of a singular kind; took place on Monday, last week, at Grunsthorpe. The supposed perpetrator was an Irishman, :named Michael Lundy. He and another man, named Sewards, had slept in a barn, belonging to Mr. Wilson, with whom they were work- ing. They were left at eight o'clock. At half-past nine, Lundy came shouting to the house, in much apparent agitation: he said a person had attempted to enter the barn—that he had been pelted with stones, and was afraid to go back. After some expostulation, Mr. Wilson and his wife and the servants accompanied him to the barn, where they found the dead body of Sewards lying on some straw, with several deep wounds in the head, inflicted by an axe, which was left in one of the mortal gashes. There was blood on Lundy's breeches ; and this and other sus- picious circumstances led to his apprehension, and to a verdict of "Murder" against him by the Coroner's Jury. He was son-in-law to the deceased, and no reason has been assigned why he should entertain any design against his life.
MURDER BY AN INSANE PAUPER.—On Wednesday last week, the nurse being casually absent, one of the insane paupers of Birmingham poor-house murdered a companion, by thrusting a pocket into her mouth. It seems the murderer had got a notion into her head that the poor creature she killed was in the habit of putting the children of the poor-house to death, and that she was only performing an act of justice iu destroying her.
SUICIDE.—A poor insane female cut her throat, at Lewisham, on Saturday, after an attempt to murder her two children, a boy and a girl. The boy got away from his mother with some difficulty, leaving his sis- ter in bed; but immediately returned, and succeeded in saving her also. Such presence of mind and such courage have rarely been equalled in so young a person. When the neighbours, who were alarmed by the bleeding children, entered the house, the mother was found lying on the floor, quite dead. The Herald says of the boy---" He was carried to the house of Mr. Clarke, the surgeon, where the wound in his throat was dressed ; and, although none of the blood-vessels or arteries are divided, it is feared, from the immense loss of blood, lie will not recover." If none of the blood-vessels is divided, the wound must be very superfi- cial, and the "immeuseloss " can have existed only iu the imagination of the narrator.
DOG-STEALING.-0II Monday, a man, named Doubleday, who had been remapded on Saturday for dog-stealing, was brought up for judg- ment at Mary-le-bone office. The house of the fellow, who resides in Chalton Gardens, Somers Town, had been remarked for some time as emitting a most noxious smell. On Saturday, the neighbours perceived him leading in a coach-dog, and immediately gave information to a po- liceman, who followed Doubleday into the house, and rescued it from his clutches; a fine mastiff was found, newly strangled, and a great num- ber of carcases and skins in the house and yard. Doubleday excused himself on the plea that he was starving, and had no other means of supporting his family. The coach-dog had been recognized by the wife of the coachman of Sergeant Wilde, as the property of the learned can- alidate for Newark; the dead mastiff was claimed by a Mr. Phillips. The
Magistrate fined Doubleday 201. for each of the offences proved ; and in default of payment, sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment. For such is the law touching dog-stealing, made, as all our laws are made, with a proper and just dictinction between the rich and the poor
STEALING FROM THE CHURCH.—The law of France for this crime is death, with the previous amputation of the right hand, as in cases of parricide. A few days ago, a young Englishman in Paris was charged with the commission of this crime, and confessed his guilt, which he said had been caused by hunger. He could not think of robbing an individual, but he did not think stealing from a church so great a crime that he ought to starve rather than commit it. The Jury found him not guilty. So much for bloody laws.
