The family of a man convicted of murdering his wife believes the acquittal of Casey Anthony in the same Orlando courtroom just months earlier resulted in an unfair trial.
Bob Ward, 64, was convicted of second-degree murder on Sept. 24, 2011, just over two years after the former millionaire developer called 911 saying he shot his wife. The jury deliberated for 12 hours over two days before rendering a guilty verdict in the same courtroom where Anthony was acquitted in July of murdering her 2-year-old daughter.
Ward's family believes the shooting was an accident resulting from a mixture of alcohol and prescription drugs. They believe the widespread outrage over the Anthony verdict influenced the jury in his case because it did not want to be seen in a similar light by acquitting Ward.
His sister-in-law, Paula Saare, and daughter, Sarah Ward, appeared alongside his lead appellate lawyer, Jim Felman, on TODAY Friday. "People in Florida were rabid over that (Anthony) case, and I don't care what happened next, there was not going to be a fair trial,'' Saare told Carl Quintanilla. "I think (the Anthony verdict) had an impact, definitely.''
'I just shot my wife'
The death of Ward's wife, Diane, 55, in September 2009 occurred days before she was set to give a deposition about his profligate spending on houses and cars in the midst of his business failing. Defense attorneys argued that Ward was trying to stop his wife, who had been on antidepressants and was potentially suicidal, from killing herself.
"I just shot my wife,'' Ward said on the recorded 911 call following the incident. "She's dead. She's done. I'm sorry.''
However, hours after being arrested, he claimed to have nothing to worry about because he was just trying to get the gun out of her hand. His lawyers also argued that a sloppy night of alcohol and prescription drug use caused an accident.
"I know Bob is innocent,'' said Saare, Diane's sister. "They had a marriage that was like fairy tale, and they loved each other deeply. They respected each other and he would do anything for her as she would for him.''
"I might not know what happened, but I know what didn't happen,'' Ward's other college-aged daughter, Mallory, told NBC News. "And I know that my dad did not pull that trigger.''
'Prosecutorial misconduct'
The family gained additional notoriety following Ward's conviction as the result of video surveillance tapes of their visit to him in the county jail that went viral online. Saare and Sarah Ward can be seen making jokes, and Sarah sticks her tongue out at one point while Bob cracks jokes of his own and even does an impromptu striptease.
The family believes they were unfairly portrayed: that those moments were just five minutes out of a 45-minute visit in which they were instructed by their lawyers to talk about anything except the case.
"The instructions are, 'Whatever you do, do not talk about what happened,''' Saare said. "We have 45 minutes to talk about what? We wanted Bob to know the most important thing was we knew he was innocent, and we knew it was an accident.''
Felman is leading the appeal to have the conviction overturned due to "rampant prosecutorial misconduct.''
"This was a case in which I believe they were willing to do anything they could to convict,'' Felman said. "What was particularly telling and unusual about this case is that the prosecutors have not, will not, because they cannot, articulate any theory of what actually happened that would be consistent with the physical evidence and Mr. Ward's guilt. I believe the jury was misled by a persistent pattern of prosecutorial misconduct.''
Considering his age, Ward's 30-year sentence essentially amounts to a life sentence if the appeal is not successful.
"He's not well,'' Sarah Ward said. "He's 64 years old and he's sick and he's in jail when he shouldn't be. He's an innocent man, and he's having a really hard time processing this.''

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Mark "Munch" Bishop can tell you about how he was supposed to be a lawyer – but ended up in radio.
It all started at Bernie's Bagels & Deli in Columbus.
And he can tell you how he was supposed to have minor surgery on his throat and how he ended up with major heart surgery.
"I know God had a hand on me with that," said Bishop.
And he can even tell you why so many people know him simply as "Munch," the name known to his listeners and friends during his 42-year radio career.
"It goes back to when I played basketball in high school – intramural," he said. "They called me 'Munchkin,' then it became Munch."
How tall is Munch?
"I'm 5-foot-9 1/2," he said.
You know a guy is stretching it when he starts talking about adding a half-inch to his height.
Then again, Munch came within inches – or a few days – of losing his life.
Full disclosure: I have considered Munch a friend for years. We have had long talks not only about sports, but also about faith and life. So this isn't an objective story. It's more a celebration of an admirable man.
That's the context of this column.
For several months, Munch's voice had become more raspy and weaker. He finally went to see a doctor who discovered polyps on his vocal cords. The polyps didn't appear to be cancerous, but he needed what was considered minor surgery.
"Getting me ready for the operation, the nurse practitioner checked my heart with the stethoscope," said Munch. "She said she heard something she didn't like."
That led to tests and more tests.
How could anything be wrong with his heart? Munch rode his bike five times a week for an hour. He walked his dog three miles most days. No shortness of breath. On the day his heart problem was discovered, he had walked up four flights of stairs at the hospital.
"It turned out my heart was a mess," he said. "If I hadn't gone in for the throat surgery, I probably would have died."
Turned out, he needed a new aortic valve, along with a by-pass of the LAD artery known as "the widow maker" because it brings fresh blood flow into the heart.
"It was divine intervention," said Munch. "They took a vein out of my leg to replace the artery. It's amazing what they can do"
When you talk to Munch, one story leads to another. In the rearview mirror of life, he sees how God has been there for him when he had no clue of it at the time.
Munch had graduated from Ohio State and was going to law school at Capital University in Columbus. He was working at the Bernie's Bagels & Deli on East Gay Street in Columbus that closed in 2016.
It was a hangout for various radio personalities in town. He talked to guys at the bar. One of them was a program director from QFM 96, a rock station in Columbus. They wanted to added "rock & roll sports," and thought Munch could be their guy.
He wasn't polished. He was passionate. He was a fan. They asked him to try out for a part-time slot, 70 bucks a week. It grew into full time. Law school went away. He was hooked on radio.
When he was hired full time, the boss asked if he had a nickname. All the on-air personalities had nicknames like Doctor Rock and Mr. Bill.
"I said they used to call me 'Munch'," said Munch. "When I went in for the my first day at work, on the board it said, 'MUNCH, THE MORNING MADMAN.' And that's how it started."
As Munch was facing heart surgery, he thought about that story. He'd had no formal radio training. He hadn't been looking for a radio job. He had wanted to become a lawyer, perhaps work in legal aid.
MUNCH, THE MORNING MADMAN...who could imagine it?
Later, he was just Munch, everybody's friend.
He worked for WMMS. He worked with John Lanigan on WMJI. He worked for iHeart radio at WTAM and its other AM stations. Indians pregames, Browns pregames, Cavs pregames. He did college soccer and volleyball. He did high school football play-by-play. He also sold advertising for his various stations.
In a nasty business, Munch has been a survivor. That's partly because he was humble enough to never take anything for granted. He also has stayed away from the office politics and jealousy that has torpedoed so many careers.
Once doctors realized the extent of Munch's heart problems, Cleveland Clinic swung into action.
"They wouldn't let me go home," he said. "They scheduled the surgery for two days later. I wanted to come back then. They were afraid something could happen to me."
Munch relied on his faith, but this wasn't new for him.
"I believe in the power of prayer," he said. "I pray a lot. Not just in the morning and evening, but during the day. I go to Mass about four times a week. I went to Father (Ron) Wearsch at St. Joseph's (Avon Lake) to have my throat blessed when I thought was I going to have that surgery."
On the morning of July 1, Munch was ready for the operation. He asked if Dr. Nick Smedira could bring the surgery crew to his bed so he could pray for them.
They gathered around his bed, heads bowed. He prayed for them and the surgery. He thanked God for them. As they began to put him to sleep for the surgery, Munch mentally repeated verses such as "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16).
When Munch was finished, he told the crew, "Let's Rock & Roll" and gave them all a fist-bump.
He closed his eyes on Thursday morning and woke up Friday afternoon.
"They had to crack my chest open for the surgery," he said. "And they told me that when I woke up, I'd be sore and have tubes connected to me. They were right. When I came to, Dr. Smedira was holding my hand. So many people were so great to me."
Munch marvels at all the attention and patience he's received from Donna, his wife of 30 years, along with his four children: Clay, Maggie, Annie and Christopher.
"I've always felt their love, but even more right now," he said.
He's had some atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and they had to shock it into beating correctly.
"But right now, I'm feeling pretty good," he said. "It's been only a month. I have never felt closer to God than during all of this."
Will the 69-year-old Munch be back on the air?
"I return on August 16th doing my morning show (6-9 a.m, Monday-Wednesday) on The Gambler (Fox Sports 1350 AM)," he said. "I'll also be doing Tribe Insider pregame shows and Browns pregame shows. I'm just so thankful to everyone."
What about the throat surgery?
"That's the great thing," he said. "Because of the heart surgery, I had to shut up for a while. For now, my voice is better and they can wait until January."

Sometimes, astronomers really do need to use rocket science when they observe unidentified objects in the sky. Especially if they wind up identifying, well, a rocket.
NASA scientists used a combination of high technology and backyard astronomers' observations to confirm the identity of an object that's been circling the earth since early September.
Since its first sighting on Sept. 3, scientists had suspected that the 60-foot-long object, named JOO2E3, was a small asteroid. But further observations have proven that JOO2E3 was manufactured by humans, and is probably the long-lost third stage of the Apollo 12 rocket that took astronauts to the moon in 1969.
Although JOO2E3 can be seen by amateur astronomers using 8- to 10-inch telescopes, high-tech scopes like NASA's Hubble Space Telescope couldn't conclusively identify it. The Hubble's 2.4-meter diameter mirror is limited to capturing images of objects no smaller than 80 meters across. J002E3 is, at best, about 30 meters across.
JOO2E3 was identified partly through reports from amateur astronomers who tracked the object's position over a two-week period and supplied scientists with enough data to extrapolate JOO2E3's past and present orbit.
Analysis by a high-power telescope provided the final clues: JOO2E3's surface is covered in white paint.
University of Arizona astronomers measured the spectrum of sunlight reflected from J002E3 and found the colors were consistent with white Titanium oxide (TiO) paint. That's the same type of paint NASA used on Apollo moon rockets 30 years ago, according to Carl Hergenrother, who conducted the study with colleague Robert Whiteley.
Hergenrother and Whiteley used the Steward Observatory's 61-inch telescope for their observations of J002E3, using various filters to sample the colors, or spectra, that J002E3 reflects.
Hergenrother and Whiteley checked their observations with Richard Binzel and Andy Rivken of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Binzel and Rivken took infrared spectra readings on J002E3, and agreed that its surface is coated with something that's "a dead ringer for white TiO paint," Hergenrother said.
Using two weeks' worth of data primarily supplied from amateur astronomers on J002E3's current orbit, scientists can also predict the path that JOO2E3 will travel for years into the future.
They can also figure out what JOO2E3 has been doing over the past few decades.
JOO2E3, in its probable previous incarnation as Apollo 12's S-IVB, escaped from Earth's orbit in March 1971.
The Apollo 12 crew jettisoned the S-IVB on Nov. 15, 1969, when it was nearly out of fuel. Ground controllers then ignited the S-IVB's engine, intending to send the object into a sun-centered orbit.
But something went wrong and S-IVB ended up racing Earth in an orbit around the sun. (S-IVB won, completing 33 solar orbits in the time it took Earth to complete 31 laps.)
The last time S-IVB was seen was back in 1971, when scientists figure it flew a little too close to the sun and got snagged into a solar orbit though a special "portal" located at the L1 Lagrangian point, where the gravitational pulls of the sun and Earth are approximately equal.
NASA's Genesis spacecraft, currently collecting samples of solar-wind material near the L1 point, will use a similar tactic for its return to Earth in 2004.
In 1986, S-IVB lapped Earth again, but was too far away to be snagged by Earth's gravity. This year, S-IVB passed too close to the L1 portal and Earth's gravity grabbed it.
Scientists said that if JOO2E3 isn't S-IVB, it could be one of the four 22-foot-long panels that enclosed the lunar modules from six Apollo missions or a rocket stage from Soviet or U.S. unmanned lunar missions.
Additional observations in coming weeks are expected to pin down the identification.
Whatever JOO2E3 turns out to be, the object will likely end its travels by heading into the moon or the Earth in several thousand years.
It's expected to disintegrate "as a beautiful infra-red fireball," according to NASA scientists, well before impact.

Lots of interesting bookish news was released last week. Here's a round up:
Harper Lee's new novel
Early last week it was announced that Harper Lee, author of the classic best seller, To Kill a Mockingbird, will release a sequel, Go Set a Watchman. The new novel is slated to be published on July 14 in both the U.S. and the U.K., but it's already a best seller on Amazon.
The novel features an adult Scout who returns to Maycomb from New York City to visit her father, Atticus. There, she is "forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand both her father's attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood." Apparently the novel was thought lost until it was discovered by Tonja Carter, Lee's lawyer and friend, in 2014.
According to Lee, she completed the novel in the mid-1950s but set it aside since her editor was more interested in the flashbacks of Scout's childhood. Her editor convinced her to write a novel from the point of view of young Scout, which became To Kill a Mockingbird.
Despite the suspicions surrounding this announcement (here's another on Jezebel), I do look forward to reading it. The suspicions, though, make me think back to the controversy surrounding the release of Harper Lee's biography last year.

The Waterline
"What goes on externally is only the tip of the iceberg in any situation. The lessons, the real changes, the opportunities to grow—these are things the body's eyes can't see. They remain beneath the spiritual water line, but they are there. And they represent a much more vast picture of the soul's journey than what we can see from the perspective of our physical senses. Growth is not always about getting what we think we want. Always, it's about becoming the men and women we have the potential to be. Loving, pure, honest, clear." – Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love
Cast your net more deep than wide. Beneath the surface of assumptions and judgment lies compassion and kindness. The truth is below the waterline, waiting to free us to love deeper, stay longer and become who we are meant to be. Just beneath the waterline.

Thank you for the reblogFebruary 26, 2014
I find amazing analogies in this post. In our quest to explore the unknown as a human race, we have launched our vessels outward, to the far reaches of space. When perhaps, we should have been directing our focus inward, just below the waterline. There is both literally and figuratively a sea of knowledge and inspiration waiting to be discovered.
Although the surface of the water from a distance looks smooth and calm, there is adventure, turmoil, challenges, and hope just beneath. An entire world just waiting to be discovered.
This is a beautiful and very thought provoking message. Thank you so much for sharing 😉February 26, 2014

A grade school teacher in Utah forced a 4th-grade Catholic boy to wash off the "inappropriate" Ash Wednesday cross from his forehead.
As Catholics and Christians enter into the season of Lent, many Catholics attend Mass to receive the sign of the cross smudged onto their foreheads to commemorate their faith. But one teacher in Utah apparently felt that displaying the Christian cross in a public school was somehow illegal.
William McLeod, a fourth grader at Valley View Elementary School in Bountiful, Utah, was forced to remove his Catholic markings, according to the New York Post.
The 9-year-old boy had just returned from Catholic Mass, but his teacher, Moana Patterson, told him that the ashes were "inappropriate" and gave him a hand wipe to remove the display, the boy's grandmother, Karen Fisher, told the media.
At first, William explained that he couldn't remove it because it was important for the beginning of Easter, but eventually obliged, Fisher said.
"He went to see the school's psychologist crying," said Fisher. "He was embarrassed."
The boy's grandmother said the incident infuriated her.
The school eventually apologized for the teacher's anti-Christian actions.
"Why that even came up, I have no idea," Chris Williams, a spokesperson for the district said. "When a student comes into school with ashes on their forehead, it's not something that we say, 'Please take off.'"
"The actions were unacceptable," Williams added. "No student should ever be asked or required to remove an ash cross from his or her forehead."
Williams also noted that the teacher in question is no longer in the classroom as the district mulls possible disciplinary actions.
The child said that he got a written apology along with a candy bar from the teacher.

Casino operator Diamond Fortune Holdings has broken ground on its new project in Russia's far east Primorye gaming zone.
It is over a year since Diamond Fortune unveiled its plans to build Selena World Resort and Casino, a $900m resort casino complex in the Primorye zone outside of Vladivostok but a news report on the Primorsky authority's website states that construction has now commenced.
The website quoted Diamond Fortune CEO Yevgenia Varakina as saying that the company had "received the necessary permits and started the active phase of operations."
Varakina noted that the company's development agreement calls for Selena's first phase to open in 2020 and she emphasised that Diamond Fortune would "make every effort" to ensure that Selena's first phase opens in 2019. The project's second phase will follow in 2022.
The Steelman Partners-designed Selena's first phase is expected to feature a 295-room hotel, as well as a casino floor hosting at least 100 gaming tables and 500 electronic gaming machines.
Once all its phases are completed, the Selena project will occupy 174,000 sq m, with two hotels, in addition to a spa, restaurants and retail shopping options.
Privately-held Diamond Fortune was established in 2010. The firm previously announced that it plans to develop a total of four projects in the Primorye Zone.

The earliest things I remember writing for pleasure were stories of Pegasus II and Cygnus with my friend Ted, I think we started talking about them in Spanish class (as we weren't big on paying attention). We had characters that were partially named after Spanish verbs like "Jorge Dar" was a character. It was our comic book based on ourselves and my practicing religion of the ancient Greek gods. It was interesting to try to write in a way that I found readable – I'm not very good with dialogue still to this day, but I keep trying. I kept writing those stories until I was about 21 or 22.
Once in a while I'd write a different story – a house fire and all the neighbors come and gawk, the little girls charred doll clutched in her hands and the father drives off in their Buick regal, I liked that one, don't know what happened to it; a student struggling to learn something new in class and the teacher who just wouldn't change the way he taught – it was very rough; the rock and roll band playing in local bars, drinking and causing trouble… stories that kind of reflected what was going on with me and how I lived.
Then I didn't write for a good long time.
In drug and alcohol treatment they suggested I keep a journal and write down my thoughts and actions for the day – I wasn't a big fan of that idea, it reflected on when my Ma found my diary on my bed and was mad at what I wrote. It was shortly after xmas and I had received underwear, socks and t-shirts (among many other things I'm sure) and I whined a bit… ok, maybe a lot, in my diary about receiving socks and underwear. Her thinking at the time was that I left it our purposefully so she'd see it, but I doubt I was that clever – sometimes I was just a whiny teenager who enjoyed complaining. So keeping my thoughts on paper where someone else could see them didn't seem like a good idea – I'm often misunderstood. 🙂
In 1998 I was published in The Grapevine. I had read in the magazine that they needed stories to print from members. So I thought for a good long time and then wrote my piece they put in their wet drunk section. I have that framed as it was the first thing that made it out of my paper and into something else.
It was 1999 when I started working at Children's Hospital in Washington DC. I made some fast friends in my department and connected departments – one of those was Staci. Staci is a psychologist, that means she asks lots of questions, and many lunches were spent with her, Christy and others just talking. When I would share stories Staci would listen intently and sometimes she would say "You should write a book." I never really took her seriously, this was just my life we were talking about nothing that would capture anyone's attention.
But that suggestion stayed with me and I started to jot down notes here and there and eventually decided to write where I could keep it always (I remembered not being able to find my old stories) so with the internet being new and blogs not that popular yet, I launched "Jamez in the life" on Blogger in 2005, and I started to write about whatever was on my mind.
So of course the first story had to be about comic books. I wrote about death in comic books and how one time it mattered and then it didn't. Then I wrote about a visit to my friend Julie's (she also always wanted me to write a book) and smoking (as I had recently quit).
Shortly after that I went to school for a year (just to prove I could do it) and then I began to write for grades and wrote about learning, that was pretty exciting… and I even wrote about the dreaded math… During school I posted 15 to 20 stories a month, usually pretty short.
I try to get 4 posts a month now and sometimes that's a struggle. It's not that I don't want to write, things get in the way or there are things that I can't write about for confidentiality reasons and some porn that shouldn't go here (I did submit it to a magazine though).
I often have many different stories in my head all rambling around trying to find a place to go and when they coalesce I obsess about them and on occasion can't sleep until I get them out on paper (or the electronic equivalent as the case usually is – though I did write about a savage beating I stopped, on paper as I didn't own a laptop at the time.)
My friend Staci came to Scottsdale this week to talk about some new therapy that she's really excited about – it includes mindfulness meditation, of which I'm a big fan. So she and her husband had dinner with me and I let her know about my blog, she might even stop in and read a story or two. I hope she likes it – it was her idea after all 🙂 We even talked a bit about her research and meditation being good for you and how it seems so hard to find the time to do it.
I'm glad I have this outlet – sometimes just writing something out can change my attitude on a situation – seeing it play out across the scenes and help me to see other points of view and become a better person.

Bengaluru: With the Karnataka chief minister and his deputy skipping the Tipu Jayanthi celebrations, a Congress legislator Saturday termed it as an insult to the Muslim community. ŌĆ£This was the first Tipu Jayanthi of the new government. The information is that following doctorŌĆÖs advice chief minister H D Kumaraswamy is not taking part (in the programmes).┬ĀDeputy chief minister G Parameshwara is on a foreign tour. This development has somewhere come across as though the community has been insulted. There is no doubt about it,ŌĆØ MLA and former minister Tanveer Sait said.
According to party sources, several Congress leaders, especially those from the Muslim community, are miffed with the chief minister and deputy chief minister for giving the event a miss. Speaking to reporters in Mysuru, Sait said politics and party notwithstanding it was his duty to express the sentiments of his community. He requested the chief minister to at least attend a Tipu Jayanthi event at a place near to where he was taking rest.┬Ā
ŌĆ£I request the chief minister to try and attend the programme at H D Kote that is near to the place where he is taking his break,ŌĆØ he added. Protests by BJP and right-wing outfits and the absence of Kumaraswamy and Parameshwara marked Tipu Jayanthi celebrations in Karnataka, which marks the birth anniversary of 18th-century ruler Tipu Sultan.┬Ā
The previous Congress government, led by Siddaramaiah, began celebrating Tipu Jayanthi on November 10 every year since 2015, amid stiff opposition from the BJP, several Hindu organisations, and some individuals. Sait said the government should show the same enthusiasm when celebrating Tipu Jayanthi as is done during the Jayanthi of stalwarts from other communities. ŌĆ£Cancelling celebrations or processions and banning all programmes other than scheduled government events just because someone will cause hurdle somewhere, causes insult to the community,ŌĆØ he added. Kumaraswamy did not attend the event citing doctorŌĆÖs advice to take rest for three days till November 11.┬Ā

The chief ministerŌĆÖs office had made prior announcement about KumaraswamyŌĆÖs inability to attend the function and his name was also not printed in the invitations. Following the chief ministerŌĆÖs decision to skip the event, reports had emerged about differences in opinion between the ruling coalition partners about Tipu Jayanthi celebrations. While in the opposition, Kumaraswamy had questioned the need for such celebrations. Kumaraswamy reportedly chose to skip the event, not wishing to antagonise voters in his partyŌĆÖs bastion of old Mysuru region, as Tipu Sultan along with his father Hyder Ali had seized power from Maharajas of Mysuru, who are virtually revered there.┬Ā
Parameshwara, who was to inaugurate the main Tipu Jayanthi celebration event at Vidhana Soudha, the seat of state legislature here, in the absence of Kumaraswamy, also skipped the function Saturday. Parameshwara was reportedly in Singapore to visit a senior politician from Karnataka, who is ailing. His office maintained that the deputy chief minister was out of town. Later in a statement, Parameshwara, while hailing Tipu and his contributions to the state, maintained that due to unavoidable reasons he was unable to attend Tipu Jayanthi celebrations Saturday and wished success for the event.┬Ā

England are collapse specialists but Hobart ignominy sets new low | Tanya Aldred
At least it was quick. The final ignominy over in less than two hours, from Rory Burns to Ollie Robinson with barely time for a scratch and a sniff: 10 wickets for 56 runs in 22 overs. Out of a paper bag into the ashes.
It was Mark Wood's face that said it all. He'd just produced the best bowling of his Test career, six for 37, a high-class bouncefest to haul England back into the match by their gammy toenails, short-pitched menace with a smile, hurling that woodchip body into the unwilling Tasmanian ground. Reward at last for seven weeks of wholehearted toil. Yet there he was, less than four hours later, plodding off the Bellerive Oval, the ninth wicket to fall in an innings of sorrows, dragging on after slapping Pat Cummins for a couple of fours over extra-cover – just for the lols. Helmet off, mouth set, eyes empty, head down, homeward he trod. This tour has sapped even Wood's joie de vivre – an achievement, of sorts.
England have for some time been collapse specialists – pack detonator, will travel – but even by their standards this was a spectacular explosion of fortune. With just an over to go before tea, Zak Crawley and Burns had put together 68, England's first opening stand of more than 50 in the entire series. There had been a few lucky breaks, a review survived here and there, but Crawley was creaming the ball with a golden spoon and Burns wore an air of busy purpose alongside his indie-band hair.
WinViz was absurdly confident, like the cocky young pup it is. Next-in Dawid Malan was spotted on the balcony wearing a cap with an almost jaunty air. Deep in the dressing room, perhaps Chris Silverwood was searching the internet for the ingredients needed for a sundowner. Wouldn't it, you found yourself thinking to yourself, against all odds and the evidence of the last four Tests, be something for Joe Root to win the game and salvage something from the series with that longed-for Australian Ashes hundred?
From his two-metre vantage point, Cameron Green – Australia's brightest of bright young things – produced a telling ball from around the wicket and Burns, conflicted, contrived to play on. His bemused shrug was a catalyst for the carnage to come.
After the break Malan was cracked on the helmet, before he too knocked Green on to his own stumps, also leaving with a shuffledown of despair. His tour has slipped from promise to purgatory, and was thrown into perspective overnight by the news that his wife had given birth to their baby six weeks early.
Root ran out to bat, legs somehow kicking onwards, one last push, one last weary hurrah. He soon lost Crawley, tempted into another drive by the magnificent Green and snaffled behind the stumps. Ben Stokes holed out before Root himself was done by a dirty grubber from Scott Boland that spat through under the bat. He permitted himself a deep breath, and a wry smile. It was over. A drawn man now, with watery blue eyes, carrying every one of England's mistakes strapped to his own back, he could at least retreat in the knowledge that he'd got a screamer.
And then Cummins and Boland finished things off, the final five wickets disappearing for 23 runs. The Australians didn't even have to claim the final half hour. Sam Billings pushed with hard hands to mid-on; Ollie Pope pottered into the wasteland on the off side, with thoughts of who-knows-what, but was left staring down at his dismantled stumps as if they were the remains of yesterday's dinner. The padded-up bowlers looked as if they'd had enough. They went out swinging, with anger, frustration, disappointment – probably all three.
After Cummins bowled the retreating Robinson with a full toss, the debonair new baggy-green captain with the perfect teeth and the Midas touch, smiled. He exchanged a big bowlers' handshake with Mitchell Starc: the two leading wicket-takers of the series content with their work.
And England? Many threads make up a story, but, yikes, the stats: England put together only eight partnerships of over 50. And their batting average in this series is 20.21, the lowest in an Ashes series since 1890.
And then the faces. At the presentation, there was not a smile to be seen from the batsmen, who'd had time to change into their leisurewear, or the bowlers, who had not. Root seemed on the edge of tears as Adam Gilchrist threw down the gentlest of questions – you know you're in trouble when even the Australians feel sorry for you.
It's hard to summon up triumphalism when the opposition fold so quickly. And like a breath of wind on a house of cards, England were gone.

The City of Tukwila Public Works Department is pleased to present a new program for our community members aimed to calm traffic on residential streets. The Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program, or NTCP for short, is a neighborhood-friendly way for Public Works to continue providing good customer service for our residents. The NTCP was passed by the City Council via Resolution 1955 on December 10, 2018 and funding for the program is included in the 2019-2020 biennial budget.
Traffic conditions on residential streets greatly affect neighborhood livability. Speeding and unnecessary through traffic on residential streets can create safety hazards or be generally undesirable to the people who live in the neighborhood. The NTCP has been developed to guide City staff and inform residents about the procedures for implementing traffic calming on residential streets. The NTCP only applies to streets in primarily residential areas which are classified as either a local street or a collector arterial. The NTCP does not apply to any streets in commercial areas or to principal or minor arterials, even if they are in residential areas.
Traffic calming is defined as the application of measures which can be taken to reduce negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for non-motorized street users. There are many different treatment options that can be considered for each unique location. The answer for one street is rarely the same for another, as each street and each neighborhood have different conditions, needs and goals.
If you would like to enroll in the City's Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program, please signup on the enrollment page.

Mac set the bowl on the table in front of Mrs. R. As soon as her employer picked up her spoon, Mac returned to the stove where she could watch without being quite so obvious. Mac had never made chicken and dumplings before—and rarely had she ever cooked something with the recipe's proprietor sitting across the room talking her through it from memory and peppering in anecdotes illustrating the importance of the dish to her family. Mac had never felt like both her job and home depended on getting one dish just right.
Love it! Welcome back.

Canada's capital city certainly has plenty to offer when it comes to craft beer. While it may not be as 'flashy' as Vancouver or Toronto, Ottawa has a solid line up of craft beer that is sure to please any fan. From sours to IPAs, there is something for everyone; better yet, the diversity of craft beer in the Ottawa area means you're not only going to get a strong range of styles, but the breweries themselves are going to be unique and creative.
We think this list is going to get you excited about Ottawa craft beer. In fact, it's now been featured by "Best in Ottawa" as one of the premier lists of craft beer in the city.
If your curiosity has been peaked, check out some of the best places to grab a pint below:
Beau's Brewing
Okay so technically Beau's Brewery isn't in Ottawa, it's at least an hour drive outside the city. BUT, it would be a crime to not add Beau's to the list. They are certified organic, have won over 100 awards since they launched, and are one of Canada's most consistently great craft breweries. So forget the fact it's not in town, it's worth the drive.
Beyond the Pale Brewing
Beyond the Pale started as a pipe dream for a couple of guys that really liked homebrewing. They now have eight years under their belt, and have established a reputation for strong quality beer. Their Pink Fuzz Grapefruit Wheat Ale happens to be a fan favourite.
Bicycle Craft Brewery
Lots of creative beers come out of Bicycle, which has made it a bit of a local hangout. All of their ingredients are locally sourced, and they leave everything unfiltered. The beer menu runs the range of juicy IPAs to refreshing wheat beers, so there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Dominion City Brewing
Dominion City holds a unique title in Canada; they are the first brewery to be established through Kickstarter. Those that took the chance to fund this little brewery have been reaping the benefits of very good craft beer, and we're all better for it.
Flora Hall
Flora Hall is a brewery built out of an old renovated garage in one of Ottawa's coolest neighbourhoods. With well over 100 seats, there is plenty of room to post up and have a few pints. Thankfully there is a robust food menu to compliment all the beer on tap!
Kichesippi Beer Co.
Time for a history lesson. Before Ottawa became a settlement, the river that ran through it was called Kichesippi. So it's fitting that a hometown brewery would honour its roots. Kichesippi Brewing is one of Ottawa's most popular breweries, and you'll understand why after tasting a few.
Lowertown Brewing
Opened in 2014, Lowertown is in the ByWard Market and features a fully functioning brewery and open-concept kitchen, replete with a smoker and chicken rotisserie. Now if that doesn't scream a good time, I don't know what does.
Overflow Brewing Company
Overflow Brewing is one of the newer breweries in Ottawa, but don't let that fool you. Being new just means they have something to prove and they're doing it with a complex range of beers from porter to American pale ale. Overflow should not be overlooked.
Tooth and Nail Brewing Company
Located in Ottawa's "artsy" district, you'd think Tooth and Nail would be wildly experimental; but while they do have experiments, Tooth and Nail is all about getting the staples right. Kellerbier, English Strong, Helles Lager's are just a few of the old school styles that Tooth and Nail cranks out.
Waller St. Brewing
Waller St harkens back to the prohibition era. A little gem, hidden underground in the heart of downtown Ottawa creating refined and exciting local craft beers with a tasting bar in a unique speakeasy environment. Literally built into the basement of a heritage building, Waller St is a brewery like none other.

As we round out our look at former USC Trojans who are currently assistant coaches in the NFL, we have to say something more about Washington Football Team defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio.
We know he has a special pass rush in D.C., and we know he got this defense to improve by leaps and bounds in 2020 under head coach Ron Rivera. The next piece of the puzzle in 2021 is to get the secondary to be even better, complementing the front seven.
The quarterbacks in the NFC East were bad last year, given the injury to Dak Prescott in Dallas. Washington can't expect to get the same or better results with a defense which makes no improvements. Avoiding regression isn't the goal. This defense has to take several more forward steps in 2021.
Del Rio discussed ways to improve, such as the team's NFL draft selection of Minnesota Golden Gopher cornerback Benjamin St-Juste:
"He's got exceptional quickness. He had a 6.6 3-cone [drill], which is unheard of," Del Rio said in an interview with Washington senior vice president of media and content Julie Donaldson. "And so for a guy [who is] 6-3 to do that shows you the short-area quickness."
St-Juste's time in the 3-cone is ridiculously good. For a 6-foot-3 corner, scouts are usually concerned about tightness in the hips. Although not a burner, that's not an issue with St-Juste.
Del Rio was excited at the thought of St-Juste's potential on the outside in Washington's defense.
"So much of today's offenses, the [Kyle] Shanahans, and all the run systems, they drag [your corner] into the fit," Del Rio said. "And they're cracking with their wideout and forcing the corner to play. Well, this guy will show up and strike you."
Del Rio also addressed the playing status of safety Landon Collins:
"He's a strong safety, working his butt off and getting in shape." Del Rio said when Donaldson asked where Collins would play in 2021. I asked him to be just a little bit lighter this year. I think another year in the system, understanding what we do, how we do it, making sure he's in the right place at the right time and that he can be the impactful player that we think he's capable of being."

His and Emmy Noether's fundamental result motivates the investigation of continuous and discrete symmetries in the context of evolution equations on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We will present two classes of symmetries arising in the theory of differential operators on metric graphs. This will yield a Frucht- type theorem for such so-called quantum graphs.


text: Mississippi House Speaker Proposes "Tax Swap" to Fund Bridge Repair April 16, 2018 Katherine Loughead Nicole Kaeding Katherine Loughead, Nicole Kaeding Introduction Last Thursday, Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn (R) proposed a new "tax swap" designed to target additional revenue toward the state's infrastructure repair needs. This announcement follows an executive order issued by Governor Phil Bryant (R) last week declaring a state of emergency and ordering the immediate closure of more than 100 locally owned bridges deemed unsafe by federal officials. Tax Swap Proposal Speaker Gunn said his tax swap proposal, which he plans to submit to Governor Bryant and Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves (R), would eliminate an income tax bracket while increasing the tax rate on fuel. This proposal aims to redirect funding that would otherwise be collected as general revenue so additional funds can be allocated toward the state's infrastructure repair needs. Specifically, the Speaker's proposal would increase the state fuel tax by $0.02 per year over four years, and index the tax to inflation afterward. It would also phase out the 4 percent individual and corporate income tax bracket. These adjustments would modify revenue sources and targets while keeping overall state revenue projections roughly consistent with current levels. Mississippi's Infrastructure Disrepair Warrants a Smarter Fuel Tax Currently, Mississippi levies an excise tax on fuel at a rate of $0.18 per gallon, with revenue directed specifically toward state highway programs. This $0.18 rate is not indexed to inflation and has been left unchanged for nearly three decades. As it stands, Mississippi has one of the lowest gas tax rates in the country and the lowest among all bordering states. At the same time, Mississippi – like many other states – faces an annual infrastructure funding shortfall, estimated at $400 million. If this revenue shortfall estimate doesn't speak for itself, the bridge closures certainly do: Mississippi's stagnant gas tax simply isn't generating sufficient revenue to maintain the state's highway infrastructure networks. While some in Mississippi may express concerns about generating additional revenue through an increased gas tax, a fuel excise tax is the best situated revenue option to ensure the taxpayers who collectively contribute to the wear and tear on Mississippi's roads are the same taxpayers who are paying for the maintenance of those roads. It also allows the state to ensure that it has adequate funding for its infrastructure needs. Mississippi's Taxpayers Deserve a Simpler, Flatter Income Tax With a graduated structure and rates set at 3 percent, 4 percent, and 5 percent, Mississippi's current income tax system is unnecessarily complex. While Mississippi's top income tax rate, set at 5 percent, is fairly competitive with the rates of neighboring states, Mississippi should make continued progress toward a flatter income tax structure. The Taxpayer Pay Raise Act of 2016 took a step in the right direction by initiating phaseout of the 3 percent rate, which took effect in 2018 and will be fully phased out by 2022. The 3 percent bracket applies to the first $5,000 in income. Speaker Gunn's new proposal builds upon that base by phasing out the state's 4 percent income tax bracket, which applies to the next $5,000 in income (from $5,000 to $10,000). If adopted, the first $10,000 in income (plus any applicable exemptions or standard deductions) would be exempt from the state's income tax, targeting the benefit to low-income households. In the fall of 2016, following that law's enactment, Nicole Kaeding testified three times before the Mississippi Tax Policy Panel, recommending further consolidation of the state's individual and corporate income tax brackets and the indexing of a consolidated bracket to inflation. That recommendation is a key component of Speaker Gunn's plan. Improving Mississippi's Tax Climate The combination of policies in Speaker's Gunn tax swap package would also improve Mississippi's competitiveness. When fully phased in, the plan would improve Mississippi's ranking on the State Business Tax Climate Index from 24th to 19th best in the country.[1] Mississippi's Ranking on the State Business Tax Climate Index Current Speaker Gunn's Proposal Overall 24 19 Corporate Tax 11 11 Income Tax 20 18 Sales Tax 38 39 Property Tax 35 35 Unemployment Tax 5 5 A Tax Swap Would Help Repair Bridges While Creating a Better Tax Code There are many ways Mississippi could adjust its tax code to increase infrastructure funding, but few proposals would simultaneously improve the state's tax code. Pairing an income tax cut with a gas tax increase allows the state to accomplish multiple goals at the same time. It dedicates adequate funding toward the state's highway infrastructure needs while targeting income tax cuts to those at the lower end of the income spectrum, mitigating any perceived regressivity from the gas tax increase. Should Mississippi choose to increase its gas tax, phase out its graduated income tax structure, and index the gas tax to inflation, the state will be well on its way to repairing its bridges while creating a smarter system that better serves its taxpayers. [1] This does not include the impacts of the state's ongoing franchise tax elimination, but does include the elimination of the 3 percent income tax bracket. Mississippi's rates and brackets for individual and corporate income are currently tied together. This score assumes that that continues. Stay informed on the tax policies impacting you.

Economic blockade on highways all set to begin
Source: Hueiyen News Service
Imphal, July 31 2011:
Economic blockade is all set to start from tonight in Manipur even as public meetings continued today in various villages under Sardar Hills area while giving thumping pledges to endorse the 7-day economic blockade.
Public meetings were held at Kangpokpi, Gamgiphai, Keithelmanbi and many other places.
The meeting at Keithelmanbi was in progress when this story was filed.
Public leaders in all the meeting voiced in one line.
"We will leave no stone unturned to achieve our goal," was the theme of the series of public meeting that started since Saturday.
Sadar Hills Districthood Demand Committee (SHDDC) has decided to impose economic blockade on National Highways 39 and 53 tentatively for seven days beginning midnight of July 31 to press for the declaration of Sadar Hills as a full fledged revenue district, with the prospect of extending the blockade further if its demand is not met by the state government of Manipur by August 7 deadline.
"Following the abject apathy of the state government to our demand, we are forced into the decision to call a total economic blockade along National Highways 39 and 53 beginning midnight of July 31 till August 7, which may be extended if the government does not respond positively to the demand for a full fledged Sadar Hills district within the one-week time frame", president of SHDDC Ngamkhohao Haokip had stated few days ago.
The blockade will not give any concession to transportation and movement of essential commodities via the two lifelines of the state, he had added.
Thangkam Lupheng, vice president SHDDC, had observed that the people of Sadar Hills have been persistently waylaid by the state government over the past decades, and said that this is perhaps the last attempt as far as the demand for a separate Sadar Hill district is concerned.
"If a reasonable and rightful demand for a full fledged Sadar Hill district is not agreed to by the state government, we will be forced to scale up our demand," he had said without spelling out what exactly he meant by scaling up the demand although it is assumed that it could well be a demand for a separate state.
Mr Haokip had noted that in order to give protection to the hill people under the Constitution of India, Manipur (Hill Areas) Autonomous District Council Act, 1971 was enacted, prior to Manipur gaining statehood, as the government of the day was apprehensive that the cause of the hill people might not be addressed by the establishment.
Despite the act having been implemented in letter and spirit in all the hill districts of Manipur, the cause of Sadar Hills autonomous district council has been constantly and relentlessly ignored by successive government in the state, he said.
Earlier the British administration, and later Manipur Constitution Act, 1947 strongly advocated separate administration for the hill areas of Manipur because of the widely held notion that there is nothing common between the plain and the hill people.
The Northeast (Re-organization) Act, 1971 and other acts of the Constitution also provide special provision for administration under the 6th scheduled in most Northeast states of India, the president said.
He went on to say that the Manipur (Hill Areas) Autonomous District Council Act, 1971 effectively empowers the state government to redraw district boundaries.
And accordingly, given the exigency and the politics of the time, successive state government has instituted a committee to study the boundary of Sadar Hills ADC.
Several reports have already been submitted and adjustments have been made, but chief ministers and governors have successively refused to uphold their constitutional duty despite assurances made to SHDDC, he said.

Najee Harris owns first down and what that might mean for Alabama football vs Tennessee
Najee Harris has developed a reputation as a finisher. Of his 21 touchdown runs in his last 10 games, 15 of them have been of 6 or fewer yards.
Without much acclaim, he's also become quite the table-setter.
Alabama football has handed the ball to Harris on one-third of its first-down plays this season, far more than any other member of the Crimson Tide. His 48 first-down carries are far more than DeVonta Smith's 20 first-down receptions, Brian Robinson Jr.'s 18 first-down carries and Jaylen Waddle's 12 first-down receptions.
The success has helped UA become the nation's best third-down offense coming into Saturday's game against Tennessee. The Crimson Tide has benefitted from nearly half of its third-down attempts (20 of 42) coming with 4 or fewer yards to gain, partially thanks to Harris giving it a good start to most series.
"I always tell people that I think we have the best (offensive line) in the country," Harris said. "For them to progress each week, each game, each day in practice, I think they need to have more attention brought to them than what they are. (Offensive line) Coach (Kyle) Flood and everyone in that room are doing an amazing job, progressing each week, every day in practice, and they don't get enough attention."
It's possible Harris' most impactful first-down run came at the end of the first half against Georgia. Alabama regaining possession on its own 25 with 23 seconds left is almost always a situation where UA coach Nick Saban elects to play it conservatively, running once and taking the game to halftime.
UA did, after all, hand the ball to Harris, but he took it for 14 yards. Alabama called a timeout and completed a pass for 14 yards, then completed another for 13 yards after a second timeout, bringing UA to the 34 — where Will Reichard made a 52-yard field goal.
Had Harris not busted his first-down run for a big gain, UA may not have attempted the pass plays that followed to take it to field goal range.
Harris was effective on first down through the entire game against the Bulldogs — 17 of his 31 carries and 92 of his 152 yards came on first down. He had four runs of 10 yards or more against Georgia, and three of them came on first down.
Tennessee could prove to be a favorable matchup for Harris and UA's rushing attack. The Volunteers have allowed 20 runs of 10 yards or more. Among SEC teams, only Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Ole Miss are worse. Tennessee is also one of just five SEC defenses to allow a run of 40 yards or more.
Tennessee could also stop Harris in the backfield at a higher rate than previous opponents. The Volunteers are tied for the SEC lead in tackles for a loss and have two linebackers, Henry To'o To'o and Deandre Johnson, in the top 10 in the SEC as individuals. If tasked with making tacklers miss in the backfield, UA has faith in Harris.
"Najee Harris in my eyes is the best running back in college football most definitely," UA linebacker Christian Harris said.

Andy Warhol was a hoarder...?
It can be very tempting, even easy, to look at a famous musician and say "that guy is a total narcissist." When you're sitting around talking with friends, it's an interesting topic. But should mental health professionals engage in this sort of speculation publicly?
This interesting piece from NY Mag considers a new book by Claudia Kalb, in which she examines famous historical figures and their behavior, which she then presents to mental health professional for a diagnosis. Andy Warhol Was A Hoarder: Inside the Minds of History's Great Personalities sounds interesting. The article above cites an NPR interview in which the author says that Warhol saved all sorts of things "from receipts and junk mail to even pizza crusts. Warhol's goal was to sell them eventually as artifacts of his work, but he also felt a strong attachment to the objects: In his journals, Warhol wrote, 'I can't throw anything out'; in another entry, he wrote, 'I'd love to have a really clean space.' But, as Kalb notes, 'He could never do it.'" That distinction, between being messy and having an emotional attachment to what some call "junk," is, indeed, the key feature of hoarding.
The NY Mag piece also does a good job of examining the ethics of such investigations. Mental health professionals are ethically forbidden from diagnosing people that they have not examined personally. There is an important reason for this. While public figures may behave in a way that is consistent with a certain diagnosis, a clinician cannot know what this person is actually thinking until they speak with them and ask them. I would be worried that diagnosing someone you haven't examined might pose a risk to them, as people tend to embrace or "own" a diagnosis. It's not hard to see how an inaccurate diagnosis could impact someone, famous or not.
I also worry that some of the disorders that are discussed may have been classified as "disorders" since the person died, and I believe we want to be careful about judging someone's behavior many years ago by modern standards. After all, many "mental illnesses" may represent behaviors that had reasons to exist many years ago and are no longer necessary for human survival. For example, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may have been necessary for survival eons ago before humans completely dominated the planet, but has become problematic now that we have few or no predators in our environment. Is it possible that a behavior that is a problem now served someone well in the past and might their accomplishments be diminished by adding a presumptive diagnosis of mental illness after their death? After all, we cannot personally know what a person's everyday life was like in the past. Andy Warhol was never a hunter-gatherer, obviously; the point is times and standards of behavior as well as values change quickly and frequently.
I have attempted to provide education about psychotherapy as well as to address the ethical conundrum on this blog by looking at behaviors of fictional characters, such as Luigi from Super Mario Brothers. Though I make no pretense of "diagnosing" Luigi, the mock therapy sessions certainly show behaviors that could lead one to make a diagnosis.
This public diagnosing also may add to a perception that mental health professionals go around diagnosing everyone in their life, a perception I can personally attest is untrue. There's no need to be uncomfortable or worry about this just because you have friends or family members who are mental health professionals. All that diagnosing would drive us crazy, trust me!
That said, all of the figures in the Kalb book are deceased, so there will be no impact on their lives. In addition, as the author states above "My goal, I hope, is that by reading about these people, there'll be some less stigmatization of mental-health disorders." I think this book may very well succeed in this aspect, which is important. One of the things I try to do with this blog is praise celebrities who are open about their mental health struggles, as I do believe that every person who speaks openly takes one step towards erasing the stigma of needing and receiving mental health services.

So you've invested in that eye-popping infographic, topical blog or white paper and it's been picked up in the press. Now what? Sit back and wait for widespread exposure and an influx of traffic? The fact is, further exposure may only be as good as the follow-up PR marketing you carry out. Simply "uploading and hoping" won't trigger the desired avalanche of exposure, but with a little bit of nurturing you can get the most leverage out of your pickups.
Some tips for gaining exposure are simple, yet easily overlooked. At the very minimum, you should:
- Promote your pickups to your email list, perhaps via a newsletter, which will give you direct access to your existing and potential customer contacts;
- Include the link in your email signature;
- Post the "Featured in …" link somewhere prominently on your site and consider setting up a dedicated "Press" section;
- Include the article in all of your marketing collateral, such as landing pages and printed material;
- Work with a company such as http://www.thatsgreatnews.com/to print the article and display it in your office.
Now it's time to apply extra attention, to generate "next-level" exposure. Start by distributing an SEO-optimized press release, which can boost keyword rankings, visibility, traffic to your website and inbound links.
Social media is critical to your exposure. It is important to devise a sharing strategy. Roll out scheduled daily tweets and repeat this schedule a week later. Identifying and reaching out to relevant, influencers is worthwhile, as is staging a weekly PR campaign on LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+. Get out there on as many platforms as possible. Note that many social networks give you the option to add a bio or description. Adding in a strong quote from a blogger or podcaster in this section is another chance to establish brand credibility.1
Speaking of influential bloggers and podcasters: Reach out to them too. Pay special attention to those already linked to your site, to see if they are willing to promote your pickup. Offer to do the same for them in return. Bloggers and podcasters are always on the lookout for credible brands, stories and products. Hopefully you have already been regularly engaging with your audience. With this relationship in place, they may share the post with their audience – driving traffic to your site.2
But remember, it's critical to think about who would find sharing your pickup's topic relevant. If they have a connection or interest in your field, the more likely they will be to share it, and share it passionately.3 A tool like Commun.it can be effective because it lets you find influencers who recently interacted with you, so you can pitch them for possible immediate exposure.4
You have worked to procure digital publicity, so don't forget to keep tabs on what fans, customers and niche markets are saying about you. Using tools such as Hootsuite and Google Alerts allows you to create searches for terms, keywords and hashtags, helping you identify your loyal and potential customers and influential supporters.5
You can be confident that by following these steps after receiving hard-earned media recognition, you've ensured your business has made the most of all available avenues for exposure.

That 2/3s of Americans oppose reactionary anti-women decisions like this … means nothing to the Trump supreme court or the backwards beancounters in the Republican Party. Today marks our fascist-minded conservatives overturning Roe v. Wade.
The time for fightback has arrived – down to the most basic grassroots level. It takes politics of the greatest extremes to poke this sleeping bear of a nation into motion. Hopefully, Democrats, unaffiliated Independent voters will move beyond trivialized norms and throw Republican bigots out of elective office, kick our meager 2-party tapdance politics into serious action.

Veri Cable specialized in submarine power cable, is suitable for telecommunications or power transmission between countries or regions.
We manufactured high-quality submarine cables with different voltages.
In addition to our standard marine cable range, we support designing some special cables for specific project applications.
Veri Cable is a worldwide cable manufacturer, such as overhead electric cable, control cable, type of armored cables, and so on.
Submarine power cables are mainly used for underwater transmission of high-power electrical energy. But the application occasions and laying methods are different.
And submarine power cables' laying distance is much shorter than communication cables.
Generally, for transmit electrical energy, the use of submarine cables are undoubtedly more expensive than overhead cables for the same length.
But it is often more economical than using small power stations for regional power generation.
And it has more benefits in offshore areas. For some countries with many islands and rivers, these cables are popular.
Veri submarine power cables are manufactured as VDE, IEC, and ICEA or according to customers' design and standards. For more information about our solutions for the cable products, please feel free to contact us.
Types of Veri Submarine Cable
XLPE Insulated AC Medium Voltage Submarine Power Cable
These submarine power cables are used for power transmission to offshore islands, oil platforms, or cross-rivers and lakes.
But the laying of submarine cables does not require digging tunnels or supporting them with brackets, and low investment or fast construction.
The core of the submarine power cable is covered with a PE outer sheath.
After the single steel armor, the cable is finally completed with an outer sheath.
So it is mainly for all marine environmental conditions, such as muddy, dry, wet, or oily conditions meeting the requirements.
The range of voltage is 6/10(12)kV,12/20(24)kV, 18/30(36)kV, and so on.
- Conductor: Copper conductor, circular stranded compacted, water blocked
- Conductor Screening: Extruded semi-conductive compound
- Insulation: XLPE

- Serving: Hessian tapes, bituminous compound, polypropylene strings
XLPE Insulated DC High-Voltage Submarine Cable
A high-voltage submarine cable is used for high-voltage power transmission.
Most of the submarine power cables are on the seabed at a certain depth, and they are not damaging the natural environment, such as wind and waves. Human production activities have interfered with them.
Therefore, the cables are safe and stable, with strong anti-interference ability and good confidentiality.
As a high-voltage power transmission cable, is major for carrying electric power below the surface of the water. The range of voltage is 127/220(245)kV, 160/275(300)kV, 200/345(362)kV, 230/400(420)kV, and so on.
- Conductor: Copper conductor, water blocked
- Conductor Screening: Extruded semi-conductive compound
- Insulation: XLPE
- Insulation Screening: Extruded semi-conductive compound.
- Separator: Swelling tape
- Core Sheath1: Lead Sheath
- Core Sheath2: PE sheath
- Bedding: Bedding layer
- Armour: Galvanized steel wires filled with bitumen compound
- Serving: Polypropylene yarn
Submarine Fiber Optic Cable
Submarine fiber optic cable is also known as submarine communication cable. It is a wire wrapped in insulating material and laid on the ocean floor. Subsea fiber optic cable is the main artery that ensures that major regional networks around the world can interoperate with each other.
GYTA33 can also be buried directly into the ground, and this cable is available in sizes from 12 cores to 72 cores.
Submarine optical cable, also known as submarine communication cable, is a conductor wrapped with insulating materials and laid on the seabed to establish telecommunications transmission between countries.
Product Scope: Subsea, shallow sea
Fiber Count: 12 24 36 48 72 core
. Precise control of the fiber length to ensure good tensile properties and temperature characteristics of the cable.
. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or polyethylene (PE) sheath with good resistance to UV radiation.
. Good compression resistance and flexibility.
. Loose sleeves filled with special waterproof compounds.
. Double-sided chrome-plated plastic coated steel strip (PSP) to improve the moisture permeability of the fiber optic cable.
. Good water barrier material to prevent longitudinal water penetration of the cable.
The Laying Method of Submarine Cables
Veri Cable submarine cable laying mainly includes three stages: cable routing survey and cleaning, submarine cable laying, and burial protection. When laying the cable, it is necessary to control the water entry angle. And the laying tension of the cable by controlling the sailing speed.
When laying in the shoal section, the cable-laying ship stops 4.5 kilometers at a distance from the coast. And the tractor was pulled on the shore. The submarine cable is allowed to sink by a floating bag. Underwater remote control vehicles continuously monitor, and adjust to control the forward. Then rocks to avoid damage to the submarine cable.
In the final stage of construction, the main purpose is to protect the submarine cables by deep burial. And reduce the impact of the complex marine environment. Veri cable company supply best quality cables with various constructions and voltage ratings. What's more, we support to customized as your requirements. High-quality material with low price for you.
