Especially after the holidays, many of us resign ourselves to exercise programs to lose the weight gained during December, or to maintain our current weight throughout the next year.
Exercise is a great way to boost your immune system, develop solid muscle, and increase your overall health, but what happens when winter's icy breath results in a cold or the flu or some other disease? Should you exercise when you're sick?
Exercise and disease both produce a catabolic state in the body. The immune system is either heightened to fight infection or to sustain physical activity. If you're sick and you participate in your normal exercise regimen, your body can be overwhelmed by the double dose of catabolism, and you'll be expending too much energy.
So the short response is that no, you shouldn't exercise when you're sick.
In fact, it is possible to increase the symptoms and severity of an illness of you exercise when you're sick. For example, it is easy to dehydrate during periods of illness, especially if you're vomiting or experiencing diarrhea.
It is also easy to dehydrate when you exercise because physical activity produces sweat, and you might wind up shedding more water than you're taking in.
Furthermore, your exercise regimen is all but ineffective when you're sick. The body is so busy fighting infection and sustaining symptoms that it doesn't have the necessary energy to produce muscle mass. It will be far easier to become short of breath, and lightheadedness is also common.
If you slow down the body's ability to fight off the sickness, you could wind up being sick for far longer than you would have been if you'd stayed in bed with a continual supply of fluids.
Furthermore, your body needs additional energy to fight disease. If you exercise when you're sick, you'll be expending calories that are needed to help your immune system, and you'll find yourself eating more just to sustain minimal energy.
As you can see, this is counterproductive to your reasons for exercising in the first place. You're better of focusing on proper nutrition-plenty of protein, fruits, vegetables and electrolytes-than trying to keep up with your exercise program.
Find a good juicer for making juices for your health.
When the symptoms start to subside and you no longer feel sick, you can begin to exercise again, but start in small increments. The body's resources can remain depleted for several days-or even a couple of weeks-following a serious bout with a bad cold or the flu, so make sure you don't push yourself too hard, too fast.
Starting with 25% of your typical regimen should be sufficient for the first 5-7 days, then you can increase to 50% and so on from there.

My clubs met last weekend -- always so much fun! I was finally able to take pictures of all the cards we made! This first one highlights the fun Petal Passion Designer Paper from the Occasions catalog. Only available through May 31st!!
We used Real Red and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers for the coloring -- love these colors together!! Here are all the other supplies used:


text: Glo's World Spring is here, and things are starting to heat up! While the weather outside my office remains distinctly grey, damp and chilly; that is certainly not the case business wise. March was a bumper month for myself and my acts and our themed evenings have proved particularly popular. The Magic of Motown Many music genres seem to come and go, but Motown Classics are an enduring favourite for most age groups. Our Motown-themed Charity Fundraiser at Tiger Tiger in Portsmouth, was great fun and raised over £1,300 for Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation. I also performed my Motown Show at the Langstone Hotel on Hayling Island alongside our terrific party band, Move On Up. This event sold out so quickly that the hotel has booked us to run a repeat performance on 5th May 2017. Las Vegas Nights We also organised one of our popular Vegas Night for the Langstone Hotel toward the end of the month. This show captures the atmosphere and energy of Vegas, complete with glamourous showgirls and the silky-smooth crooning of a classic Vegas vocalist. For the Langstone Hotel event there was an appearance from the fabulous Supremely, Diana Ross and Elvis was indeed in the building! Here are some of the Themed Nights we offer: Gatsby Glamour – Take a trip back in time to those heady heydays of the 1920's and 1930's, when flappers were all the rage and excess was the name of the game. This high energy, foot tapping show, complete with either a male or female vocalist and optional Charleston lesson, will have your guests up on the dance floor strutting their stuff in no time. Songs of 007 – No other film franchise has created so many classic hits as the Bond Movie series, and they make a fantastic musical backdrop for a special night out. A 007 themed evening is the perfect opportunity for the men to dust off their tuxedos and bow ties while their ladies make a splash in high heels and slinky sequins. At Gloria Miller Entertainment, we can arrange a stunning selection of crowd-pleasing themed evenings to suit any occasion, be it a special birthday party, a corporate event or a public dinner show in a hotel. More Info Gloria Miller Pays Tribute to Vera Lynn! Forces' Sweetheart, Vera Lynn, turned 100 on 20th March 2017, and as part of the nationwide celebrations, Gloria performed many of Vera's iconic, sing-a-long classics at a special solo concert for the residents of Chalfont Court Nursing Home in Rickmansworth. "I don't usually sing Dame Vera's songs, but I love a challenge. So, when I was approached about this event, I jumped at it. It's been fun learning these fabulous songs, and performing them in front of an audience for whom they meant so much was extra special. It was wonderful to hear so many of these lovely people singing along, and a few even got up and danced!" Gloria MillerGME News Editor Visit Website Act of the Month Bootleg Blondie – The Official Blondie Tribute Band There are lots of Tribute Bands out there, but few are endorsed by the original band members. Bootleg Blondie are one of those who have been. They have wowed Blondie fans at festivals and venues across Europe, but their most memorable gig has got to be playing CBGB's in New York in 2006. When Debbie Harry heard that they were playing at the home of US Punk, she sent them a message to wish them well. They look and sound so much like the real thing it's uncanny. Relive all those dance-along hits from the 1970s and 1980s including Denis, The Tide is High, Sunday Girl, Call Me, and Atomic. Bootleg Blondie are available either as the full band or as a duo show.

Schimmel Sisters Play in Elite Eight Game Tonight on ESPN
Next Up: Elite Eight Game against Maryland – Tonight, Tuesday, April 1, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. – EDT on ESPN.
LOUISVILLE — After their Sunday afternoon 73-47 victory over the Louisiana State University Tigers in the NCAA women's basketball tournament's Sweet Sixteen, the Schimmel sisters—Shoni and Jude— and the Louisville Cardinals (33-4) face the Maryland Terps (27-6) in an Elite Eight game tonight.
The Schimmel sisters, tribal citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla, based in Pendleton, Oregon, are favorites among American Indians across the country.
With a win tonight, the Cardinals can advance to the Final Four for the second year in a roll. Last year, the Cardinals were beat in the national championship game against powerhouse Connecticut.
The national game represented the first time an American Indian appeared in a NCAA national basketball championship game. The two sisters provided a bonus: There were two American Indians who played in the game.
In Sunday's Sweet Sixteen rout over the LSU Tigers, Louisville's head coach Jeff Walz gave some of his regular players rests late in the game and were replaced by reserves.
The Cardinal's all-time three-point shooter Shoni Schimmel saw 30 minutes of play time, but still led the team in scoring with 19 points. Late last month, Schimmel was named to the WBCA All-Region 1 team.
Jude Schimmel played only 26 minutes and added five points for her Cardinals. She opened up the 2014 NCAA Tournament with 14 points and four assists against Idaho.
Tip-off time is 7:00 p.m. – EDT, tonight, Tuesday, April 1, 2014, at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2. Check your local television listings for channel information.

CROSBY MP Claire Curtis-Thomas is urging members of the public to blow the whistle on failing doctors.
Her plea followed the case of Arthur Hodgson who pursued a complaint against his local GP after his wife died of a brain tumour.
The MP called for other people with legitimate concerns to pursue complaints and follow his example.
She said that of all the people who had come to see her with complaints, Mr Hodgson had been the only one to see his through to the very end.
Mr Hodgson filed a complaint against Dr David Flanagan after his wife, Joyce, 78, visited him at his surgery on Liverpool Road in Crosby.
She had seen the doctor in January 1999 suffering from sickness and violent shakes.
But it was only when she referred herself to a private specialist a year later that she was told she had an inoperable brain tumour. She died seven months later in July 2000.
It took Mr Hodgson two-and-half years but he got the results of an investigation last month.
It failed to find the GP guilty of any clinical wrongdoing but rapped him for his handling of the complaint and poor record keeping and issued him with recommendations for improvement.
In a letter to Mr Hodgson, the MP said: "I do wish that I could persuade all the people who have legitimate concerns about practitioners to follow your example and perhaps then some of our failing doctors would be a thing of the past".
Retired building contracts manager Mr Hodgson, 79, added: "I feel that I have done something for my wife and hopefully for other people as well."

The Telegraph newspaper in the UK has rated The Elephant Stables hotel in Kandy as "a brilliant combination of heritage experience and contemporary design" that is luxurious and family-friendly.
It's either exhilarating, liberating—or downright terrifying, depending on your point of view. And according to some, it's inevitable.

A revolution in the way tourists view and choose potential destinations has been heralded by the Google Cardboard virtual reality (VR) viewer, which pairs with smartphones.
The UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is to host its anjual conference in Sri Lanka's east-coast beach resort of Passikudah in July.
The inspiring story of how a young Irish couple built a new home—and a new life—in Sri Lanka is told in heartwarming detail on the The Gloss Magazine website.
The first book ever written in English about Sri Lanka—we're talking 1680 here, over 300 years ago—was an instant hit. 'An Historical Relation of the Island of Ceylon' has been described as "the ideal mix of an adventure-filled autobiography and an exotic travel guide".
Anyone who has ever sampled Sri Lanka's amazing cuisine knows that its reputation for variety and plain deliciousness is full justified. So London-based Ajith Perera's foodie website The Ceylon Chef is a great netsurfer's destination.
Sri Lanka's cultural expression through jewellery, handicrafts and fashion is highlighted in a look at the L'Indochine fashion shop featured on The Standard website.

Blood Pressure Control
Blood pressure control reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease (heart disease or stroke) among people with diabetes by 33 percent to 50 percent and the risk of microvascular complications (eye, kidney, and nerve disease) by about 33 percent.
In general, for every 10-mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure, the risk for any complication related to diabetes is reduced by 12 percent.
Control of Blood Lipids
Improved control of cholesterol or blood lipids (for example, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides) can reduce cardiovascular complications by 20 percent to 50 percent.
Detecting and treating diabetic eye disease with laser therapy can reduce the development of severe vision loss by an estimated 50 percent to 60 percent.
Comprehensive foot care programs can reduce amputation rates by 45 percent to 85 percent.
Detecting and treating early diabetic kidney disease by lowering blood pressure can reduce the decline in kidney function by 30 percent to 70 percent. Treatment with ACE inhibitors (such as captopril) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) is more effective in reducing the decline in kidney function than other blood pressure-lowering drugs.
In 2002, the total (direct and indirect) cost of diabetes in the United States was $132 billion; of that, $92 billion was direct costs, while indirect costs (for example, disability, work loss, and premature death) totaled $40 billion.

C2C Chip to Chip Link Inter-chip Connectivity IP
The purpose of inter-chip connectivity IP is to connect two different chips together to share computing resources, limit chip-to-chip latency, or maintain the highest possible chip-to-chip bandwidth. Inter-chip connectivity is also often described as chip-to-chip, die-to-die or C2C links. Chip to Chip Link (C2C) Arteris offers the C2C Chip to Chip Link product and is also a contributor to the MIPI Low Latency Interface (MIPI LLI) specification. Chip to Chip Link (also known as C2C) offers the capability to connect two chips without a PHY, using only DDR pads. C2C is a trademark of Texas Instruments, Inc., and is a product containing TI and Arteris technology. C2C for Mobile Phones C2C's primary purpose is to connect a mobile phone applications processor to a mobile phone modem. The 100ns round-trip latency of the C2C connection is fast enough for the modem to share the application processor's RAM and to maintain enough read throughput for cache refills. This enables the phone manufacturer to remove the modem's dedicated RAM chip from the phone's bill of materials (BOM).

Supreme Court of North Dakota
April 12, 2016
Tilmer Paul Everett, Petitioner and Appellantv.State of North Dakota, Respondent and Appellee
from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central
Judicial District, the Honorable Bruce A. Romanick, Judge.
P. Everett, self-represented, Bismarck, N.D.; on brief.
M. Vaagen, Burleigh County State's Attorney, Bismarck,
N.D., for respondent and appellee; on brief.
Fair McEvers, Daniel J. Crothers, Dale V. Sandstrom, Carol
Ronning Kapsner, Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Opinion of the
Court by McEvers, Justice.
Page 797
Fair McEvers, Justice.
[¶1] Tilmer Everett appeals from a district
court order denying his application for post-conviction
relief and barring him from filing further motions or
pleadings without leave of the district court. We affirm.
[¶2] In 2007, a jury convicted Everett of
gross sexual imposition. He appealed, arguing the State
violated his constitutional right to remain silent, the court
erred by failing to admonish the jury before taking two
recesses during trial, and there was insufficient evidence to
support his conviction. This Court affirmed the judgment.
State v. Everett, 2008 ND 126, 756 N.W.2d 344.
[¶3] In June 2007, Everett applied for
post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of
counsel and prosecutorial misconduct. Everett later amended
his application for post-conviction relief, alleging twelve
counts of prosecutorial misconduct and fourteen counts of
ineffective assistance of counsel. The State moved for
summary dismissal. The district court denied Everett's
application, finding no genuine issues of material fact
existed and the State was entitled to a judgment as a matter
of law. Everett appealed, and this Court affirmed.
Everett v. State, 2008 ND 199, 757 N.W.2d 530.
[¶4] In March 2009, Everett filed a second
application for post-conviction relief, claiming a law
enforcement officer gave false and perjured testimony during
his trial. The district court denied Everett's
application, and Everett did not appeal that decision.
[¶5] In June 2009, Everett filed a third
application for post-conviction relief. The district court
denied his application. Everett appealed, arguing the State
failed to disclose evidence favorable to him, the State used
evidence obtained from an unlawful arrest, and there was a
conspiracy to commit fraud and perjury. We affirmed the
district court's decision. Everett v. State,
2010 ND 4, 789 N.W.2d 282.
[¶6] In May 2010, Everett filed his fourth
application for post-conviction relief. The district court
denied his application. Everett appealed, arguing he was
denied effective assistance of counsel in his direct appeal,
his conviction was obtained by the unconstitutional failure
of the State to disclose evidence favorable to him, and the
conviction was obtained by the use of evidence from an
unlawful arrest. We affirmed the district court's
decision. Everett v. State, 2010 ND 226, 795 N.W.2d
[¶7] In June 2011, the district court
dismissed Everett's fifth application for post-conviction
relief, and denied a subpoena request and a motion to recuse
or remove the district court ...

The circle screamed sentiment so I flipped through my Verve Plain Jane verses and chose 1 Chronicles 16:34. This is such a wonderful verse, as is this verse's worship chorus. I've been humming it all morning long :D I used my diamond embossing folder to pick up the checkered floor in the foyer and scored the white panel in lieu of the railing on the stairs. A Serenity silhouette image (this is still one of my all time favorite Verve sets) over the sentiment and three black half pearls to finish things off . No birthday goodies on this card, but they will be showing up shortly, I promise LOL!
So glad you were able to stop in today. I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Mine will be a busy one with our going over to my mom's for a family birthday lunch (chicken and dumplings with a sour cream and caraway sauce - yum!!) and then the rest of the weekend I get to help the kids with the experiment portion of their Science Fair projects. That way they have next weekend to write up their findings and set up their display boards and the following week to practice their presentation speeches. Yeah, we're half way there LOL!

With legal recreational weed scheduled to start in California in just a couple weeks, Secretary of State Alex Padilla busy preparing the registry process for cannabis startup businesses. He's getting by with a little help from his friends on this one, enlisting one of the most legendary potheads in history as one of the faces behind the registry process.
Cheech Marin is the New Face Behind Registering Retail Cannabis Businesses
Cheech Marin will be one of the people helping to register cannabis businesses in California. Marin recently starred in a promotional ad for new website, Cannabizfile, a site where prospective cannabis business owners can register their new businesses online. According to Padilla, who created the site, the first step for any budding cannabis entrepreneur needs to be registering with the secretary of state office.
The ad that runs about a minute long, has Marin's face partially covered by a computer monitor as he answers the questions of a young women seeking to start a legal cannabis biz. At the end of the ad, Marin reveals his face, and the woman acts shocked to see the one of the most famous pot heads in history. You can check the ad out for yourself below.
Is Cheech Too Stoner Stereotypical?
Cheech and Chong brought pot smoking to another level in the 70s and 80s, becoming a staple of pothead counter culture during this time. Although the dynamic duo has parted ways since blazing their way through an era gone by, the two will forever remain one of the most iconic pro-pot comedians in history.
While most people welcome Marin as the face behind cannabiz registration in Cali, not all view Padilla's decision positively. Shayna Schonauer is a medical marijuana retail manager in California.
"We've worked really hard to kind of pull ourselves away from that to show that we are a legitimate business," Schonauer said. "And that we're not just your stereotypical stoners."
Marin doesn't feel the same.
"Who better to spread the news than Cheech?" he asked.

This gives the device knowledge of which geofence it is in, allowing for a wide range of new applications!We have just released a powerful new firmware feature for Telematics Guru, Geofence Downloads to Device.Geofences can now be downloaded directly from Telematics Guru onto supported devices. This gives the device knowledge of which geofence it is in, allowing for a wide range of new applications, including:Setting custom speed limits on private property, such as a mine site, and triggering a buzzer when the driver exceeds the limit.Disabling cellular communication (and GPS fixes for a period) in a sensitive area, such as at an airport, or on an oil rig.Using alternate logging parameters depending on the area a device is in, to optimise battery life.Turning on a vehicle's emergency lights in a specific area.Devices currently supporting this feature:Remora, Oyster, G100, Oyster2, Yabby GPS Contact us for information about support for other devices. What is Geofencing? Geofencing involves the use of GPS devices to define a virtual border or boundary in a location. Think of it simply as a digital fence that you control. This enables our software to alert, or trigger a specified response when the tracked asset enters or leaves the geofenced area, or performs a certain activity. Up until now, the end software platform (Telematics Guru) would handle the alerting, by receiving the GPS coordinate data sent by the devices, and determining if that was inside or outside a geofence, and what actions to take. Downloading geofences to the device means that the device itself knows when it is inside or outside a geofence, so that it can modify its behaviour accordingly. If the asset you are tracking leaves your controlled radius (jumps your digital fence), or performs a specific activity (exceeds the speed limit) the device can sound a buzzer to warn the driver, and you'll also be notified via an alert. Learn how to setup Geofence Downloads to Device here. And if you haven't already started using geo location tracking, setting up geofences in Telematics Guru is easy!

International Research Conference: Intersection of Modern Japanese Literature
This conference aims to encourage links and connections between the research emerging around the world on modern Japanese literature and research activities within Japan. We hope to offer the opportunity for researchers in other countries who are working on modern literature to
present their work in Japan, while also offering a space for researchers in Japan who would like to make links and connections with research trends abroad.
Theme: Intersection of Modern Japanese Literature Aims: Crossing the boundaries of "Japan" and "the Japanese language", movements in search of networks within modern Japanese literature research are on the rise. Even if the objects of study are texts written in Japanese, the research itself is done in a variety of languages, and each research space also has its own unique character. Unfortunately, however, the regional and linguistic constraints on this research have also hindered the mutual exchange of ideas, leaving a situation in which research is stalled at the regionalist level. For this purpose we organized the international conference, Interfaces of Modern Japanese Literature, in 2013 and it gathered many participants from various countries. We are going to hold another international conference, Intersection of Modern Japanese Literature, on November 22nd, 2015. At this conference, we aim to make use of the Nihon Kindai Bungakukai as a space that will function as an interface for a diverse range of research on "modern Japanese literature". In so doing, the hierarchical structure of the Japan- and Japanese language-centrism inherent in the "Japan" vs "abroad" division may also be directly questioned. We are calling for active participation to create a space for open dialogue not constrained by the framework of traditional conferences.
• The conference will be held on November 22, 2015 at Waseda University, Waseda Campus (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo).
• Presenters are free to choose their own topics (provided they relate to modern Japanese literature or to literary studies).
• Individual or panel presentations will be accepted.
• Both members and non-members of Nihon Kindai Bungakukai may apply. The applications which suite the theme and aims of this conference will be given priority.
• Both individual and panel presentations are to be given in Japanese (for panel presentations only, if presenters can provide their own Japanese interpreters, then any language will be accepted).
• Individual presentations are to be 30 minutes (plus 15 minutes for Q&A); panel presentations are to be a total of 2-2.5 hours for the entire panel (there is no limitation on the number of presenters in a given panel; the number of participants and the structure of the panel is up to each panel to decide).
• There is no fee for presenting. However, presenters (including interpreters) are responsible for any of their own travel, accommodation, printing, and miscellaneous costs.
We will be accepting applications for both individual and panel presentations between April 1 and 30, 2015 (applications must be received by this date). Please send your completed entry sheet (found on the Nihon Kindai Bungakukai website) and your abstract to the address given below either by e-mail or by post (to be received by the deadline). For individual papers, abstracts should be about 400 Japanese characters; for panels, please provide an abstract in Japanese for the panel as a whole in addition to the abstracts for each individual presenter, for a total of about 1500 characters.
Applicants will be contacted as soon as selections have been made. The location and order of presentations will be decided by the organizing committee. Please address any questions you may have to the address below. We look forward to receiving many applications in the hopes that this opportunity may be of benefit to as many researchers as possible. Any details regarding locations and times will be updated on the Nihon Kindai Bungakukai homepage as they become available. Please distribute this information widely, as we hope to receive a broad and diverse selection of applicants.
Entry Sheet: Can be downloaded from the Nihon Kindai Bungakukai homepage.

If there's one thing the people of Brazil are famous for, it has to be enjoying a good festival. In fact, just thinking about Brazil brings Rio de Janeiro and the Mardi Gras festival instantly to mind. What I bet you didn't know when you ask a Brazilian what else they love...
the answer would be - a good Barbeque with friends. And this love for barbeque is exactly the feeling that Brazilian Flame wants to share when they bring their famously delicious barbeque kitchen to Kangaroo Valley.
Inspired by the tradition of Brazilian Churrascaria Steakhouse, Brazilian Flame BBQ is coming to Kangaroo Valley to share their unique Portugese and South American steakhouse flavours this November.
We are passionate about meat in all aspects. Our products are carefully selected to ensure we will deliver top quality food to your plate. Our mission is all about having good food with family and friends. Brazilian Flame was created to deliver the finest and tasteful experience to our customers in Australia.
Their range of smokey good meats are incredibly popular and certain to amaze. Be sure to try the Chorizo plate or the specialty 'Picanha' Rump Steak Roll. Picanha is a popular Brazilian cut of beef. In Australia, we call it sirloin cap or rump cap. Picanha is incredibly tender when slow cooked and I'm tipping, goes very very well with a Chipotle Porter.
Chef Diego has a tribe of loyal fans across Sydney who can't stop raving about this homemade spiced mayo. So make sure you find their Black and White flaming banners at the Festival. And if you are ever in Sydney you acn look them up at 1/565 Botany Rd, Zetland.
Here's what others are saying about Brazilian Flame BBQ...
Very very impressed! Tried your pork at the Gosford Aussie Night Markets and WOW! Amongst a sea of under sized portions you guys are extremely generous with yours and best food to top it off. The guys behind the counter are very friendly too!
Jerico Johns-Adunaane
There's no BBQ better than this one! Best people to interact with, so well presented, always give us the best experience and the best meat around! We follow them everywhere! My whole family is addicted to their seasoning and amazing picanha! Keep up the good work guys!
Camila Donda Matielo
Amazing food, had the beef and chicken with salad, possibly the best BBQ chicken I've ever eaten. Please come back Diego. So good with the dark Ales, finished off with the Chipotle Porter, perfect lunch.
Frank Liebeskind
- Brazilian Flame are expert BBQ caterers and are regulars at many Sydney markets.
- They have been to the Kangaroo Valley Festival before and many are looking forward to their return in 2018.
- Are you excited about the big event? It's ticket-only this year so you better get your tickets here.

Why Difficult Cases Should be Tried, or (Playing for the Fumble)
March 27, 2013
Category: Drunk Driving
I pride myself on not being a "plea escort service." I heard that term years ago at a National DUI Defense College meeting and it has stuck with me since. Any lawyer can plead you out to a DUI charge, and most will. A very select few lawyers are actually capable of stepping into a courtroom and trying a case successfully to a "not guilty" verdict. When I meet a potential client I explain to them up front that almost any lawyer they choose can negotiate for them a plea agreement to the minimum mandatory penalty for the DUI offense they are charged with. Prosecutors and police departments love plea agreements. No effort, no risk, no problem on their end. If the cost of a lawyer is your only concern, and you don't care to win your case, hire the cheapest plea escort service you can find.
But you can't win a case if you don't try it. When you plead out your case, you pass on each and every opportunity you had to win it. A police report is an arresting officer's very best version of his case. That police report is not allowed as evidence at trial, and an arresting officer's version of events very rarely survives cross examination at trial and stands for the Judge or Jury as the absolute truth of what happened. Writing a report is much different than testifying in a Courtroom and proving the allegations leading to an arrest
Even the toughest cases should be tried, because after trial, if a guilty verdict is returned, the sentence imposed by the Court is most often the exact same sentence the plea escort service would have negotiated for you short of trial. (A "continuance without a finding" in MA – C.W.O.F. – counts forever as your first OUI offense and is therefore the same as a "guilty' finding in that respect). Very few judges in MA or NH penalize a defendant, in terms of post-conviction sentence conditions, for exercising their right to trial, especially when they are well represented and trying a case effectively and efficiently. In fact, in my experience, most Judges are pleasantly surprised and pleased to preside over a DUI trial where the defense lawyer is experienced and actually forcing the government to prove each and every element of the offense. Judges are all former practicing lawyers, often former prosecutors or defense lawyers, and they understand the presumption of innocence, the right to remain silent, and the government's burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
What happens when you actually go to trial and decide to protect your rights with an experienced DUI Defense Lawyer? You allow for the opportunity to prevail. You can win, because you showed up, played by the rules, and forced the fumble:
The prosecutor admits that the breath test operator failed to disclose his narrative report in violation of a discovery order and the .15 breath test is excluded in the middle of a trial, resulting in a dismissal of the DWI Charge;
The rollover accident OUI case is tried before a jury, and the Judge directs a verdict in favor of the defense, when the government fails to establish that a the road in question is a "public way;"
The Jury hearing evidence of a .24 Breath test, relies upon the defense theory that the accuracy of any breath test is invalid, if a burp or hiccup can contaminate a breath test result, and the defendant suffers from G.E.R.D.;
The arresting officer's narrative report clearly indicates evidence of alcohol impairment, but he cannot communicate that to a jury and his primary civilian witness is utterly incredible;
The breath test evidence is excluded on the day of trial because the defense discovers a violation of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) that was developed over months of preparation and challenges raised in similar cases;
The Court orders the dismissal of the OUI charge when the government fails to provide adequate notice of the criminal OUI offense in violation of the "no fix-it" citation statute;
The Court rules that, the officer is credible in his assessment of the driver's impairment, but he finds the defendant equally credible in his claims that he was not impaired by alcohol and renders a "not guilty" verdict, stating the "tie goes to the runner."
This above list could go on and on, (I've tried several hundred DUI cases) and it is also true that any experience DUI Defense trial lawyer knows that any case tried to a Judge or Jury can result in a "guilty" finding. There are no guarantees, only opportunities. Trials are adversary endeavors not meant to played half-heartedly. A trial is a rock fight, and someone must lose and be bloodied in the end. But if you are willingly to engage in the fight, and arm yourself with the best protection, you can win.

Students have the option of meeting with the instructor either on-site or via Skype. In order to avoid conflicts with other students and other obligations of the instructor, if possible please make an appointment via email.
Note that, in general, Dr. Bernstein will be at the Brookhaven campus on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and on the Oakdale campus on Wednesday afternoons. Meetings on the Oakdale campus will be in KSC 103. Meetings at the Oakdale campus are by appointment only.
For more information see http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/.dowling/HJB_Contact_Info.html.
Keeping clear written records is an important part of working in any scientific field. It is particularly important in Computer Science, where there are very complex, non-obvious decisions to make. In addition, 60% of your grade for this course will be in the final for which you will need a dense 2-page set of notes. A good notebook will help you to prepare those notes.
Students are expected to have their text books no later than the second week of class. Students can start learning some of the material for the course immediately by going to the MIT OpenCourseWare site and reviewing the video lectures at http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-046j-introduction-to-algorithms-sma-5503-fall-2005/video-lectures/ While we will not be using the same text book the material presented should be very helpful to you in understanding Knuth.
Attendance will be taken at all on-site class meetings, and regular participation in the on-line exercises is required. We are trying to arrange permission for students who wish to, to participate in the on-site sessions via Skype. We will discuss that option further at the first on-site class session. Be certain to attend that one in person.
Your objective in this course is to display a firm grasp of everything that is in Knuth. The final examination will be a closed book comprehesive examination that may draw on anything and everything in Knuth. The only grades that will be given will be A, B or I, and the only way to clear an incomplete is to take an even tougher closed book make-up examination that demonstrates a thorough understanding of everything in Knuth.
Students will be given weekly quizzes and assignments to help ensure regular attention to the material of the course. On-site sessions will consist of both lecture-style reviews of materials and presentation and discussions by the students in which all students are expected to display an understanding of the material they have been working on.
In addition to routine reading assignments, students will have two kinds of special assignments: ones that will help them to explore algorithms in practice and ones that will help them to study a syllabus topic in depth. Students have one week from the start of the semester to propose a significant topic within which they will to explore appropriate algorithms. If no proposals are made, the instructor will make assignments involving the following threads: molecular graphics, nearest neighbor problems, numerical linear algebra.
The study assignments will be handled by each student presenting a web page lecture on that topic for the instructor and other class members to review presenting that topic to the class during an on-site session with discussions both in-class and on-line on the algorithm issues in that topic resulting in revisions to the web page. The resulting web page will become a part of the publicly available on-line materials of the course.
You will have to do such assignments multiple times.
Every student will be required to maintain a contemporaneous hardbound notebook recording all significant activities related to this course.
The work load for this course is very heavy. Students are encouraged to form study groups and to work together.
In general, no assignments will be accepted late and no makeups will be given for missed quizzes or examinations. Requests for exceptions to this policy will be considered only for the most pressing reasons (illness requiring hospitalization, death in the family, reserve call-up, etc.), must be submitted in writing in a timely manner, and will be granted only if the instructor has sound reason to believe that the student is highly likely to master the material of the course within the current semester.
The syllabus and the course objectives that follows are derived in part from the IEEE/ACM "Computing Curricula 2001 Computer Science" - Final Report - (December 15, 2001) by the Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula, Publisher:IEEE Computer Society, Association for Computing Machinery.

Ivan's 100k/day Racing Chocobo Guide
Starting Off: Before the Egg
To raise a Top Tier Racing Chocobo, you'll need the following:
About 700k Gil (not all at once, but in total)
51 hours worth of Chocobuck Gathering (2,000 Chocobucks) (again, this can be done whenever)
About 5 minutes a day to check on and do things with your chocobo
2 Chococards (a Male and Female) of chocobos with the ability Canter, and prefered to be SS/S/C/C or SS STR and END at least)
Getting the Egg:
First off, DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT A BREAD CHOCOBO EGG! Any ISNM or NPC bought egg is worthless for this because you need to start off your chocobo with Canter!
Take your chococards to Finbarr in jeuno, and choose either the Sports Plan if the Father's Stats are better, or the Jeuno Tour Plan if the Mother's are. If you couldn't find 2 chococards with canter, pick the Sports Plan if the Father has canter, or the Jeuno Tour Plan if the Mother has canter. Trade both chococards and the breeding plan to him, wait a day, receive your egg and move on to the next stage.
Day 1-4: The Egg Phase
Raise your chocobo in San D'Oria, the NPC is in the Chocobo Stables in Southern San D'Oria. No, you can't raise it anywhere else. I'll explain why later.
Now comes the first fun part of raising a chocobo...watching over the egg. Right now, the only thing you can do with your chocobo is watch over it, which you need to do a total of 130 times before your chocobo hatches, because that will cap it's affection when it hatches. The reason you need to cap affection is because the training plans have double their normal effect if affection is capped, which is extremely important.
That's pretty much all you can do at this point, now just wait for your chick to hatch and hope for Canter...
Day 5-19: The Chick Phase
As soon as your chick hatches, check and see if it has the ability Canter. If it doesn't, get another 2 chococards and start over. The reason for this is the fact that the only way a chocobo learns abilities is either by inheriting them from their parents, or being taught them from a story. You'll want the abilities Gallop (Increases STR) and Canter (Increases END) on your chocobo for racing. Canter's story comes from taking a long walk with your chocobo and meeting the jeuno chocobo 3 times, which is very rare and you'll have to wait for adulthood and you have a very small window to teach your chocobo the ability, whereas Gallop's story comes from Meeting the San D'Orian chocobo (which is why you have to start in sandy) 3 times on a walk, which is very easy to do if you start off in sandy, since you'll meet them on a short walk.
If your chocobo hatches with the ability canter, you're golden. Feed your chocobo 2 Vomp Carrots a day (no, no carrot paste. carrot paste only raises affection slightly, which you have already capped.) Put your chocobo's care plans to
0."Take a walk around town" 7 days
1."Take a walk around town" 7 days
2."Take a walk around town" 7 days
3.Doesnt matter

"Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty." – Coco Chanel
There are now many alternatives to having a full surgical face-lift, so if you want to improve your appearance, you can choose from a range of safe, non-invasive treatments, many of which don't require any recuperation period.
Before you consider undergoing any of these treatments, it's important to know what they involve and find a practitioner who is skilled in administering your chosen therapy.
What treatments are available?
There are several different approaches to non-surgical face-lifts, including:
- Chemical peel: Uses medically approved chemical treatments to remove the top surfaces of the skin.
- Ablative laser therapy: Ablative therapies involve using laser technology to remove the top layers of skin, exposing new, fresh skin underneath, in much the same way as a chemical peel but without the use of any chemicals.
- Non-ablative laser therapy: Non-ablative therapies use laser technology to stimulate new collagen production in the tissues under the skin. As new collagen fibres are produced, the skin and underlying tissues become firmer and smoother.
- Ultrasound therapy: similar to the non-ablative laser therapy, but using sound wave energy rather than laser light.
- Fillers: Medical grade compounds are injected into the skin to improve the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin
- Botox®: Injections of nerve-paralysing agents derived from the botulinum toxin, that smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
What are the advantages of non-invasive aesthetic procedures?
Any form of surgery carries a risk, as you'll be incurring flesh wounds that could get infected and will take time to heal. There's also the potential risk of being under a general anaesthetic for major procedures.
While non-invasive aesthetics won't produce the dramatic effects of a conventional face-lift, they do offer a safe, comfortable alternative that won't cause as much disruption to your normal life as a surgical procedure.
Where can I go for aesthetic procedures?
There are many health spas, beauty clinics and medical centres offering aesthetic treatments, but don't take their claims at face value.
Make sure your provider is qualified and approved to administer the treatments they're offering before you make an appointment. When you have your consultation, you should evaluate the clinic, the staff, and the quality of your assessment. Any cut-price offers or short-cuts to treatment should be avoided.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Aesthetic procedures are very safe, and there are few side effects. However, there's a potential risk with any medical procedure. That's why it's so important to ensure your provider is competent before agreeing to treatment. You should also check they're covered by insurance in case there are any issues.
If you do suffer injury or any problems after your procedure, speak to an expert medical negligence service such as www.the-medical-negligence-experts.co.uk. They can advise you on your case and guide you through the process of making a claim, should the need arise.
"Glowing skin is a result of proper skincare. It means you can wear less make-up & let skin shine through." – Michael Coulombe (Global Make-Up Artist)
Aesthetic treatments are becoming ever more popular, because they are quick, involve minimal discomfort, and can produce significant benefits for anyone who wants to improve their appearance without undergoing major cosmetic procedures.
If you choose your provider with care, you could turn back the clock over the course of your lunch hour!

Insurance agencies need to know your location (or the place you will be driving most often) in order to figure out the probability of a major accident. The whole thing comes down to a simple concept: the greater the population, the greater amount of vehicles there will be while driving, and also the more chances you might have to crash into or perhaps be get collided into by another car or truck. The population of Westminster is 110,945 and the typical household earnings are $63,520.
Automotive Accidents
For having a six-figure population, the rate of serious accidents in the Westminster area is thankfully very low. And this, in turn, usually inspires local insurance providers to offer lower rates to their customers. Because when you live in a safe town, it is much less likely that you will need to file a claim.
Auto Thefts in Westminster
Most insurance providers are worried when it comes to auto theft; this is especially valid for car owners who reside in big towns and cities. The greater the populace, the greater the chance you will have to submit an automobile burglary claim. In recent years, there were 322 stolen cars in Westminster. So, thankfully, you won't necessarily need Comprehensive coverage to protect against theft. However, you may still need it to protect against other disasters.
Your Credit Score
It may be difficult to find affordable insurance costs, particularly if you come with an imperfect credit rating. A lot of companies charges you you double, or possibly more, for getting a bad credit score. However in many places, Westminster incorporated, there can be auto policy providers who'll offer reduced rates no matter credit.
Your Age
More youthful motorists cash less experience than their adult counterparts, and for that reason get billed more simply to maintain fundamental insurance policy. However for youthful motorists who get a's and b's, and/or try taking some motorists education classes, you will find discount rates available.
Your Driving Record
Getting several serious moving violations in your record may cause your payments to skyrocket – and it will cause certain companies to deny you coverage. But when all you've got really are a couple of minor infractions, ask your agent about Accident Forgiveness discount rates. It could save you a good deal every month.
Your Vehicle
Ever question why it is a lot more to insure an extravagance vehicle than, say, a Ford Fiesta? Well, auto guidelines aren't instantly more costly for luxury automobiles. But you'll have to purchase additional coverage options, as well as in greater amounts, to be able to correctly safeguard this type of vehicle. And will also drastically improve your monthly premium.
Minor Car Insurance Factors in Westminster
Don't forget to take advantage of potential savings from these factors, too:
Your Marital Status
If you are married, then it's not hard to obtain a simple and quick discount by bundling your car insurance plan with this of the spouse. The only real catch is you need to make certain both guidelines are insured underneath the same company.
Your Gender
Unlike a couple of decades ago, most providers nowadays will not ask you for a significantly different premium for just one gender over another. Thinking about the truth that there is no substantial distinction between how men and women drive, the truth that a lot of companies have stopped this type of practice is much more than fair.
Your Driving Distance to Work
Westminster isn't one of the easiest cities to drive around in. Over 78% of residents depend upon their own vehicle to get around, which may be partly responsible for average commute times ranging between 30-35 minutes. Less than 9% will likely carpool.
If you need to insure your automobile for business reasons, you will be searching in a 10-13% greater monthly premium, typically. And do not waste a lot of time fretting about just how much you drive. Whether you are adding merely a couple of 1000 miles or many 1000's of miles for your odometer every year, you are only having to pay a 5-6% difference.
Your Coverage and Deductibles
If you feel your payment per month is simply too high, speak to your insurance professional about modifying your deductible. By raising it, or saying yes to pay for a greater amount when you have to file claims, your provider will decrease your monthly insurance repayments. But make certain you place just a little money aside – just just in case.
Education in Westminster, CO
More than a quarter of Westminster's population has managed to earn a high school diploma or its equivalent. Another 22% of locals have gone on to complete a four-year degree. If you happen to have a higher education, be sure to contact your insurance provider about discounts and lower rates which are available to well-educated drivers!
Westminster is conveniently close to many major universities in the Denver area, but there are educational opportunities for those who don't want to travel outside of Westminster. For starters, Front Range Community college can help you earn an associate's degree or help you prepare to transfer to a major university. Westminster is also home to the Belleview College & Seminary.
Motor vehicle insurance is probably the most significant investments you may make as an automobile owner. You should make sure you uncover a sincere, responsible supplier who will follow through on their offers. Various vehicle insurance agencies happen to be better at this as opposed to others, and performing a thorough web based search will help you divide the favorable from the undesirable.
How We Conducted Our Car Insurance Analysis
*We calculated our average rate based on the following metrics: a married, 34 year old male with good credit, a 12-month history of maintaining auto insurance, a clean driving record, who owns his own home. Miles driven annually were based on the national average. The average rate was also calculated based on a financed 2015 Honda Accord with a pre-installed anti-theft device.

7 brilliant Peppa Pig baking fails that will make you giggle and snort
It seems every child under the sun loves Peppa, her brother George and their endless sea of muddy puddles. But if there's one thing parents will take away from this children's phenomenon, it's that it is extremely hard to nail any baked goods that require a cartoon pig shape.
Read more about Peppa Pig:
- 7 ways to tell if your child is watching too much Peppa Pig. Snort.
- 11 excellent life lessons we can all learn from Peppa Pig
- Uncovered! The painful world of parents who hate Peppa Pig
The expectation is that you'll make a cake/cookie/cupcake that captures all of Peppa's piggy proportions. You'll master her rosey pink 'pig' complexion in your icing. And, most importantly, your creations will be in no way phallic.
The reality, however, is this:
As some witty commenter joked on the Reddit forum, "When I bought those cookie cutters to make cookies for my bachelor party, they all said I would only use them once. But I proved them wrong!"
This well-meaning parent is far from alone
To show that this cookie fiasco isn't a one-hit wonder, we've rounded up other Peppa baked goods that do anything but #nailit.
MORE Birthday
First up – this person who made pretty much the exact same mistake:
Source: Twitter
And judging from the shop front surrounds, it looks like they might be making actual money from them!
And then there's this cake, that proves Peppa's nose is really hard to make "un-penis-y"…
Source: Tumblr
Alternatively, if you don't have enough snout, your Peppa's going to look whack anyway:
Source: Tumblr
And even if you try and avoid all the fuss by opting for a "simple" cupcake cake, you can still end up with this nightmare:
My friends tried recreating a Peppa Pig cake for their daughter's birthday
Just in case you can't tell, the "nightmare" is the one on the left.
This Peppa looks like she's been fattened up to take to market …
And this last one looks like it could pass for a fox/dog/armadillo … pretty much anything other than a pig.
It may be the year of the pig, but we're going to do everything in our power to steer away from all pig-themed baking. At least till 2020.

Animal-themed Costumes
Animal costume ideas are as varied as the species they aim to emulate. Consider dressing up like mama and baby combos, such as a cat and kitten or a dog and puppy. You could also opt for a zoo animal theme, with you in a zebra costume and your kid as a lion, panda or other relevant option.
If you have multiple children, simply put on a pair of overalls and a straw hat to fill the role of farmer, and outfit your kids as barnyard animals, such as cows, chickens or pigs. Beware of letting your little ones wear feather-adorned costumes inside the house, though, unless you want to spend the next few weeks vacuuming up feather down and quills.

I recently came across a unique gift idea and just had to pass it along to my Every Woman Blog family! I was on the hunt to find a wedding gift for my niece. I wanted it to be special- something that no one else would give them. It was during my trip to the City Market in Charleston, SC that I found what I was looking for and it was perfect!
I just love walking through the City Market and try to visit at least twice a year. As I perused the variety of items before me, I came across a booth for Old World Glass Studio. Their display of bottle creations caught my attention.
I had to walk over to get a closer look at the flattened bottles, which were standing upright with a wedding invitation attached to the back and with a small, decorated knife in the opening. They even went as far to add beading to the knife to match the invitation colors. I turned to my husband and said "This is perfect!". And perfect it was, as it was a great way to capture the wedding invitation that the happy couple could display to remind them of their special day. They could be used as a cheese platter or simply put on display. I was so impressed that I am planning to dig out my wedding invitation to have one created!
The next time you are in Charleston be sure to stop by to check out their wonder work! Or, you can visit their website or Facebook page at the links below.

Special interests shovel cash to California Democrats and Republicans alike
When it comes to taking in big bucks from big business, California's Democrats and Republicans have a lot more in common than you might think.
More than 40 percent of the $60 million raised by California's two major political parties for state candidates and campaigns during the 2016 election season came from corporate interests that gave to both sides, according to secretary of state finance records researched by MapLight, a nonpartisan, political-money, watchdog group.
Top double donors included:
•The California Hospital Association, which gave $3.15 million to help Democrats and $1.6 million to Republicans.
•The California Association of Realtors, which gave $1.3 million to Democrats and $850,000 to Republicans.
•AT&T, which gave $1 million to Democrats and $637,000 to Republicans.
•And Chevron Corp., which gave $885,000 to Republicans and $415,000 to Democrats.
Other major donors playing both sides of the aisle included Indian casinos, medical and dental associations, the telecommunications industry, the prison guards' union, insurance companies, energy and utility interests and charter school advocates.
"Powerful organizations that can afford to spend millions of dollars on politics invest in both parties to curry favor with lawmakers across the state — regardless of their party affiliation," said MapLight President Daniel Newman.
It's worth noting that although California limits donations to candidates for office, political parties are free to take whatever they can get. Party leaders can then pump large sums into races without having to identify the original source of the funds.
Out of the 117 organizations and business interests that together gave $25 million-plus to the parties for the 2016 elections, 76 gave more to the state Democratic Party and 31 gave more to the state Republican Party. The other 10 gave the same amount to both.
In total, the Democratic Party raised $39.8 million. Republicans raised $20.9 million.
The Democrats' edge is hardly surprising, considering they have a hammerlock on all the statewide elected offices, plus hold a two-thirds supermajority in both the state Senate and Assembly.
"Wherever you have one party in dominant control, that's the team that is going to get the most money," said Republican Party chair Jim Brulte. "That is just the way it is."
As for why corporate donors would even bother with giving to the GOP: "It's called covering your backside," said Larry Gerston, political science professor emeritus at San Jose State University. Even though Republicans are in the minority in the Legislature, every now and again their votes might come in handy.
What counts is "who has been helpful and who has been with us," Gerston said. "It all verifies, yet again, that interest groups are very close to lawmakers."
John Vigna, a spokesman for the state Democratic Party, said it isn't all about corporate money. He said new party chair Eric Bauman is working to "dramatically ramp up our small-dollar fundraising" as well.
But party activist Kimberly Ellis, who recently challenged Bauman for the party chair, said the numbers are proof that Democrats do not always practice what they preach.
"If people want to know why meaningful health care reform in California stalls, just look at our party's donor list and you'll understand why," Ellis said. "With the California Hospital Association's $3.15 million investment — nearly three times the party's next-highest contribution — we know who is really calling the shots in Sacramento."
Ultimately, said MapLight's Newman, "a statewide system of public funding of elections would let voters, not donors, have the greater voice in government."
Maybe, said Gerston. But until then, "you take it from whoever gives it."
Kopp on guard: Carve another notch in the belt of contrarian Quentin Kopp, the 89-year-old former San Francisco supervisor, ex-state senator and retired judge who is now a member of the city Ethics Commission.
A Sacramento County Superior Court judge ruled the other day in favor of Kopp and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association in a suit they filed challenging a new state law allowing public money to be used for political campaigning.
SB1107, passed by the Legislature last year and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, was intended to reduce the influence of special interests by letting cities and counties use public financing for political campaigns. Kopp and company said the law violated the 1988 voter-approved Proposition 73, which prohibits public funds from being used in campaigns.
The new bill had been championed by the good-government group Common Cause. And when Kopp joined the lawsuit in December, Common Cause tried and failed to block his reappointment to the Ethics Commission.
There is a bit of irony here. Being a charter city, San Francisco is exempted from the 1988 ban. Over the years, it has doled out millions of public dollars to finance candidate campaigns for city offices. Last year, the 12 eligible candidates received a total of $1.5 million.
And it's the Ethics Commission that oversees the handouts.
"It's the law, and I follow it," Kopp said.

The Department of State and its embassies and consulates abroad do not become directly involved in the adoption process, except as it relates to the issuance of visas or the possible defrauding of American citizens by agencies or intermediaries abroad. Visit the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs website for further adoption information.
If the adopting parents follow established procedures for foreign adoption they may be temporarily frustrated by the vagaries of transnational bureaucracies, but in the long run they will find that avoiding so-called short cuts will ultimately save time, effort and heartache.
What Can You Do to Avoid Adoption Problems?
Contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services early in the proceedings. Ask for a copy of the INS Form M-249, "The Immigration of Adopted and Prospective Adoptive Children".
Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate in the country from which you desire to adopt a child to ascertain if there are any particular problems of which you should be aware.
Demand an accounting of the services for which you are paying an agency or intermediary.
Find out if adoption agencies/intermediaries must be licensed in your state, and if so, whether the one you are working with is licensed. You might also check the Better Business Bureau or the Consumer Affairs or similar office of your District Attorney or Attorney General's office.
Does an Adopted Child Acquire U.S. Citizenship?
U.S. citizenship can be acquired either by birth or by naturalization. In order to acquire U.S. citizenship a child born abroad must be related by blood to the U.S. citizen parent(s) upon whose citizenship the child's claim to citizenship is based. The Department of State has consistently held that an alien child adopted by U.S. citizen parents does not acquire United States citizenship merely by adoption. Application may be made to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for expeditious naturalization of an adopted child.
Are There Any International Agreements on Adoption?
The only existing international agreement on adoption is the Hague Convention on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law and Recognition of Decrees to Adoption of 11/15/65 which entered into force on 10/24/78 in the United Kingdom, Austria and Switzerland. The United States, however, is not as yet a party to the Convention. The Organization of American States Tercera Conferencia Especializada Interamericana Sobre Derecho Internacional privado (CIDIP III) has prepared the Inter-American Convention on the Adoption of Minors. The draft Convention provides in part that the courts of a nation in which the adopting parents are habitually resident may grant an adoption decree and that the adopted child's country should not prevent the child from leaving the country after an adoption is granted unthe absence of public order or police reasons. The Convention is not yet in force in any country.
The Adoption Authority of Ireland: The government office responsible for adoptions in Ireland is the Adoption Board, (An Bord Uchtala), Shelbourne House, Shelbourne Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, tel: + 353 1 2309 300, fax: +353-1-667-1438.

Yuri's Revenge: Squared (or YR²) is a modification to Yuri's Revenge, the official mission disk expansion for Red alert 2 created by the now-dissolved Westwood Studios. This is a standard add-on to the game which keeps the primary aspects of it intact while adding others, seeking to make it overall more enjoyable to play. It is designed in the image of what I wanted the game to be like originally, whether that means modifying existing units, expanding the opportunities of the Red alert 2 engine, or adding in new tools of war for you to play with.
I began work on YR² originally in the shadow of my other mod for Red alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge: MooMan's Rules. As the final main version 3.0 was released full development began on this one (although I did not necessarily announce to the public that I was working on it at this time.) While reading this, YR² may seem to be a clone of MooMan's Rules, but I assure you these two mods were created with different goals in mind. While I admit at the beginning MooMan's Rules started up with the same goals as YR², but personally I believe development went too far, I got carried away with the rush and hype of a public mod, as it was the first time I created a mod with a public release in mind. Past mods I have designed were never due to be released to the public, so I was able to take my time and relax, not rushing as there was only me to please with the end result.
As a result I got rather disappointed with how MooMan's Rules had developed up to V3.0, although many features of the mod I really am proud of myself for doing, the shear number of additions is too much for a standard mod designed to improve gameplay. In that sense I have designated MooMan's Rules as a mod you should play if you want to have as many new units and structures added into the game as possible without overdoing it. This is the main reason I have started work on YR², now that I am expecting what will happen with a public mod, I do not intend to get as carried away as before, so it will stay completely within the goals I have set for the mod since Day 1 of its construction, however long it may take for public release. It focuses more on enhancing the existing features rather than adding new ones in, like MooMan's Rules did.
Of course YR² will NOT be short of new things and ideas, however they will not just come in the way of new units/structures.
The creation goals of YR² from the beginning are:
To make sure the general feel of the game still exists: Gameplay modifications should never take away the general feel of Red alert 2 that has made it such a popular game. The mod should play as though it is a professional add-on to it.
To balance the game while making every units and structure available attractive to construct: Every person has different views on how to balance the game; this mod is the embodiment of my own views. I have made every effort to make the sides balanced yet radically different from each other. Every unit and structure was put into the game for a specific reason on he battlefield, and players should want to use them all each for their own purpose.
To greatly enhance the gameplay opportunities of the Red alert 2 engine: There are many additions can be made to existing gameplay options to make the game much more exciting to play, expanding existing options to allow for more gaming possibilities is one of the most enjoyable things players want to see.
To add in unique and original things to enhance the gameplay experience: Every unit and structure in the game was added for a specific purpose and each have their own strengths and weaknesses. New units and structures cannot simply be clones of an existing units, forfilling a role that may make the original units obsolete; Any new units and structures that YR² may add in are done so with the same purpose in mind, that each unit completely suits the side they are added to forfills a unique role on the battlefield that was originally non-existent or not fully used for that side.
As development continues I hope to keep all these goals in mind when designing the mod. I intend for YR² to be much more open to the ideas and suggestions of the community, and so I will very much welcome your own ideas on how to improve and/or balance the game by posting them here in the MooMan's Corner section of the C-GEN Forums, as that was the main purpose of having a separate discussion forum for this Website in the first place. There also will be updates made on the forums about the mods progress that many not be reported on the main MooMan's Corner website.
Currently, there is no public version of the mod available as development continues. I welcome feedback on it however and release updates and info regularly now that internal testing has begun.

dead not big surprise
the psy beacon.
MooMan is this mod dead? No i'm not saying it's dead.
:) (+) :beer: :notice: :sick:
personally, i stick to moomans rules as the best mod for RA2 i have ever played. having just read the above authors comments, i would agree. i simply love MMR, and the reason why is it brings so many new units and structures that previsouly hadnt been thought of, where as so many mods make units that already exsist under a different name, and just have different strengths.
They are back, dangerous as hell. Also, Boris is gone, as well as Yuri Prime.
From an allied comander
1) The mod is currently in development, so there is no public version available at this time.
2) Don't worry, it will be using a launcher and installer so there will not be any funny procedures for you to do like there was with MooRules.
3) I have always wanted to resize the infantry, so we'll see where that takes us. :)
4) Plenty of unique unit voices. :)
Need help downloading the mod . where do you download it?
will this mod be on a mod launcher? my computer has difficulty with mods that don't have that.
