LMU named Treasure of L.A.; library seeks volunteers; outstanding women honored
This St. Patrick's Day, Saturday, March 17th, residents near Loyola Marymount University (LMU) should be ready to rock.
Last year, the university's annual College Fest concert shook surprised neighbors, but this year, the university is doing all it can to alert the community about what is sure to be a great event — and one that is open to the public, by the way.
In e-mails to the community and postings to the LMU Web site, the university promises that two Grammy-winning artists will rock out in Sunken Gardens during the Saturday, March 17th, event.
The artist Common will highlight the event along with OK Go.
Common won his first Grammy in 2003 for his performance on Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)," which he performed with Erykah Badu. Common debuted in 1992 with his single Take It EZ and the LP Can I Borrow A Dollar?
Although he was no stranger to critical praise, in 2000 Common's breakthrough album Like Water for Chocolate transformed his underground following into mainstream success.
In 2006, the artist received four Grammy nominations, including a nomination for Best Rap Album for his critically acclaimed work Be. He was also nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance, Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group and Best Rap Collaboration for his work with Kanye West and John Legend.
In addition to his successful music career, Common made his way onto the big screen this year, appearing in the action thriller Smokin' Aces with Ben Affleck, Jeremy Piven and Alicia Keys. He can also be seen in the Ridley Scott film American Gangster with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, and he recently made an appearance on Saturday Night Live.
Associated Students of Loyola Marymount University vice president for programming Joelle Zarcone said the mix of musical talent will make the concert appealing to a "broader group of students than are usually focused on."
"We are one school, and there's no better way to bring people together than through music," Zarcone said. "My committee and I are dedicated to making this show amazing for everyone."
LMU NAMED TREASURE OF L.A. — Loyola Marymount University has been selected by the Central City Association as a Treasure of Los Angeles. To celebrate this award, there will be a Treasures of Los Angeles Award Luncheon on Thursday, April 5th, at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel starting at 11:30 a.m.
Father Robert B. Lawton will accept the award on LMU's behalf.
The CCA created the Treasures Award to celebrate and honor citizens and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the Los Angeles community.
The award, which celebrates diversity, strength and excellence of our city, spans a myriad of fields, including: art and culture, business, media, science, community service, education, entertainment, fashion and sports. In the 13 years since its inception, Treasures has grown to become the most celebrated and well-attended civic event in Los Angeles.
The annual affair is attended by more than 1,400 top business and civic leaders as well as elected officials. Other Treasures of L.A. named this year are John Mauceri, KTLA, Alfred Mann, Jack LaLanne, Carroll Shelby, Robert Wagner, Buzz Aldrin and Para Los Ni"os.
For more information or to purchase tickets to the event, call (213) 624-1213 ext. 209.
LIBRARY SEEKS VOLUNTEERS FOR BOOKSTORE — The Westchester-Loyola Village Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library is not only a beautiful new facility, but the Friends of the Library bookstore at the library has become a huge success.
As the primary source of new funds for the library, the bookstore has raised $9,000 to assist the library in various ways. Generous book donors keep the store's shelves stocked with a varied collection of books in "pristine" condition. As a result, library patrons often stand outside the door, waiting for a chance to purchase books at great prices.
Currently, the store is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Fridays from 12 to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Friends of the Library, however, would like to open additional hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays but lacks the staffing to do so.
"Working in our bookstore is easy and a great opportunity to meet local book lovers while helping to support our efforts to keep our library an exemplary community resource," said book store manager Maureen Freston.
Those interested in volunteering their time —Ýas little as an hour a week — to staff the book store should contact Freston, email@example.com. Be sure to put "Friends of the Library Book Store" in the subject line.
KNOW A "SHERO?" — On Saturday, May 12th, Assemblymember Curren D. Price will be honoring 51 outstanding women who reside in the 51st Assembly District as "SHeros."
A "SHero" is a woman who has demonstrated leadership, pride, volunteerism and commitment to her community in a remarkable manner.
A "SHero" is a woman who inspires others through her own actions. She has made a difference by giving a significant amount of her time through community service, community pride and/or community leadership for noteworthy improvements. She currently lives in the 51st State Assembly District.
To nominate a "SHero" from your community, call (310) 412-6400 for a nomination form. Completed forms must be submitted to Price's office by Friday, March 16th.

The kids practice with the Cherub Choir every Sunday morning. I've been helping my mother in law with that for some time now and it really is a lot of fun. The 2s and 3s basically just stare at you the whole time, but the 4s and 5s really get into the signing. This evening their song was Go Tell It On The Mountain. We had multiple conversations with Big E that he was not allowed to bounce through the entire song. He must have been listening cause he stayed pretty still. Also it was the first year that one of my kids wasn't picking their nose the entire time!
C got to sing the verses with her cousin Adie. She was practicing all afternoon.
Shortly before showtime, Daddy started prepping our little donkey.

The majority of visitors to publishers' websites are unknown to them, with industry estimates suggesting as many as 80-90% of visitors leave behind no actionable first-party data. That is a huge problem and opportunity for publishers. Knowing who an individual is and what their interests are is valuable data that can fuel a number of revenue-driving efforts, from targeted advertising to paid subscriptions. Allowing a reader to leave your site without telling you who they are leaves money on the table. This webinar will explore the tactics and technology publishers can use to convert anonymous site visitors to known audience.

Rain, rain, and more rain… however Saturday morning's stuck inside don't have to be all bad. Ive been attempting to do an essay but instead find myself 'procrastabaking' in the kitchen, making a mixed spiced and salted nutty granola. I haven't bought granola or muesli from the supermarket in a looooong time as its so hard to find a tasty one that isn't 80% sugar! I still crave that morning crunch, so making my own is the answer and not only is it better for me health wise, but also a lot cheaper as I can make a bulk batch.
- 2 cups jumbo rolled oats (can substitute quinoa oats or gluten free oats if your gluten intolerant)
- 1/2 cup buckwheat kernels
- 1/2 cup wholegrain rice puffs
- 1/2 cup figs
- 1/2 cup cashew nuts
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 raw sunflower seeds
- 1 tbl spoon mixed spice
- 1/2 tbl spoon cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp of Himalayan sea salt
- 1/2 cup rice malt syrup
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- Turn the oven onto 160 Degrees Celsius
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper
- Chop the figs into small pieces
- Add all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix together
- Add the spices and salt to the mix
- Add the melted coconut oil and rice malt and stir evenly throughout mixture until all ingredients feel like they have been coated
- Spread the mixture evenly on the baking tray and place in the oven for 15 minutes
- In 15 minutes stir the granola so the bottom section is now on the top, bake for another 15 minutes at 160 degrees
- After 15 minutes give the granola another stir and turn the oven down to 110 Degrees, bake for another 30 minutes or until the granola is light brown and crunchy
I love this granola as its not too sweet, with the mixed spices, cinnamon, and a hint of salt it is a perfect balance for the taste buds 😉 Serve with fruit and yoghurt, or add it to your porridge for a little crunch.
Enjoy! x

GREENWOOD — The Viking Range Corporation will pay a $450,000 civil penalty for failing to report defects in its refrigerators.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the agreement yesterday.
The CPSC had alleged Greenwood-based Viking was aware for years of a defect involving its refrigerator door hinge support mechanisms that resulted in incidents and injuries to consumers but failed to report immediately to CPSC as required by federal law.
Viking reported the safety defect in April 2009 and recalled more than 45,000 refrigerators in June 2009. The CPSC says Viking was aware of at least 10 reports of injuries involving refrigerator hinge failures going back over several years.
Viking sold the refrigerators through appliance and specialty retailers from July 1999 through April 2006.
Viking did not admit to any wrongdoing.

Saving of Bill Blewitt, The
- Synopsis
- A fiction film, made in the documentary style, about two fishermen whose boat is wrecked but who manage to save up enough to buy another. Harry Watt has described how he was told to make a film about saving, which was anathema to him, and liking fishing, set off to find a fishing village. When he eventually arrived in Mousehole it was raining; 'I go into the pub, and there's one man in the pub at the bar. So I say, Have a drink and he has a drink. He asks me to have drink, and we're drinking double rums. By lunchtime I'm stewed, and he's stewed. We're absolutely paralytic. I stand up and say, Well, I must find the postmaster. He says, I am the postmaster'. And this was Bill Blewitt, one of the the greatest characters in British films. Music by Benjamin Britten.

Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout CBS
Sold Out
CBS was born when we stumbled upon some bourbon barrels that had previously housed maple syrup. We opted to put the same base beer as KBS, an imperialized version of Breakfast Stout, in the maple barrels and, after one taste, we knew we had something special. Rich maple syrup, roasted coffee and velvety chocolate meld together in what can only be described as a transcendental drinking experience.

Hampstead Summer Festival: Big Fair will take over Heath Street, with donkeys, chess and more
PUBLISHED: 13:00 20 June 2019 | UPDATED: 11:49 21 June 2019
It's hard to imagine summer in Hampstead without the Big Fair.
The fair is the culmination of the annual Hampstead Summer Festival (HSF), and it will see Heath Street don its gladrags once again.
Fancy a ride on a donkey, want to make friends with a falcon or simply want to prepare to run away and join the circus?
All are options available to you at the Big Fair.
That said, while the attractions and entertainment will no doubt be as exciting as ever, the highlight is always seeing the street full to bursting with stalls - all in the name of raising money for charity.
Els Bauer, the festival organiser, said this year would see the HSF build on nine years of great parties.
She said: "We are really excited about this year's festival.
You may also want to watch:
"It brings people together to celebrate our vibrant community.
"After nine years, local people know about it and put it in their diaries, and they come from all over north London for the super street food and the happy atmosphere."
Prepare for an influx of visitors, she added, trumpeting the tourist benefit the festival brings to Hampstead.
"It's really rewarding to bring thousands of visitors into our beautiful Hampstead village," she went on. "And to see so many people having fun."
Beyond the traditional aspects of a summer fete, Hampstead will also become a mecca for those who know their pawns from their bishops - the Hampstead International Chess Congress forms part of the festivities.
The Henderson Court Day Centre in Fitzjohn's Avenue is hosting a weekend of events, while the Big Fair itself will have a so-called "chess cafe" where visitors will be able to take on a chess master in the name of charity.
And fundraising is central to the HSF. This year chosen charities the Hampstead School of Art and Keats Community Library will be hoping for a bumper year - in 2018 they shared £24,000.
The Big Fair comes hot on the heels of a fortnight of merriment in the Village. Everything kicks off with the Art Fair next to Whitestone Pond at the top of Heath Street - launched by actor and comic Alan Davies on June 23 - while there's a barnstorming garden party for children and families at Keats Community Library on June 29. See et cetera for more details.

Parts of Swindon town centre will be closed to traffic on Saturday, 30 March 2019 to allow for the planned Honda march and rally organised by Unite the union.
The march is set to get underway at 11.30am from the County Ground car park and, in order to create a safe environment for those taking part, County Road will be shut to traffic from 9.00am.
The County Ground car park itself will not be open to vehicles to allow people to congregate at the start of the march.
To ensure the safety of all those taking part, we will create a pedestrian walkway across the Magic Roundabout.
A number of roads will be closed to all traffic from 11.15am to allow the march safe passage to Faringdon Road park, these include:
- Fleming Way
- Princes Street
- Commercial Road
- Milton Road
- Faringdon Road.
Anyone driving into Swindon from Queens Drive or Drakes Way to take part in the show of support, is advised to leave the Magic Roundabout at the Fleming Way exit and follow signs to the Spring Gardens (SN1 2BF), Princes Street and Wyvern (SN1 2SD), Whalebridge (SN1 1TN) or Fleming Way (SN1 2HG) town centre car parks. The County Ground is just a few minutes' walk away.
A rolling road block will be in operation so that roads can be reopened as soon as the march has safely passed through.

As you may know, it was my 19th birthday on Tuesday. Celebrations started on Monday night when Mum and George arrived in Bournemouth with a surprise birthday present wrapped up on the back seat of their hire car (aka, my friend Sara).
It was a crazy moment. Sara! In Bournemouth! Only two days before, I'd been asking her to come and visit me. I didn't think anything of it when she quickly moved the conversation on to something else!! It was so great to have her there to join my Bournemouth friends and I for my birthday meal that night.
I felt very lucky to have a combination of home and university friends with me to celebrate - they're all gems!
|With my gals - Laura and Sara

The three of them had to leave Bournemouth mid-afternoon to catch their flight back to Guernsey but the celebrations continued later that evening (after watching a film with Andrew and Joe, and then having a nap). My lovely flatmates made us all fajitas for dinner and they baked me some birthday cupcakes. So cute. The cakes were eaten within 10 minutes!
|'Happy B'day Steph!' cupcakes
She flew from Guernsey to Southampton yesterday morning and unfortunately her plane was delayed by a couple of hours (which, luckily for me, meant I could carry on sleeping!). I met her at the airport at around 11:20am and then we caught a train to London Waterloo and traveled on the underground to our hotel at King's Cross. We checked ourselves in on the self-service machine (cool, huh?!) and scoffed a large McDonalds each. She also gave me my birthday present - a selfie stick!! I've wanted one for so long because life is just so much easier without the struggle of awkward angles when taking selfies, but was too embarrassed to buy one for myself. This weekend though? No shame AT ALL.
|First selfie with the selfie stick
We soon headed to Oxford Street to participate in our favourite sport - SHOPPING! We started in Forever 21. I am in love with this shop - the clothing is such good quality and style but is also really cheap. If any of you have ever been to Forever 21 on Oxford Street (the only one in the UK I believe), you will know how huge it is. We spent a good hour and a half in there!
|Changing room mirror selfie
Next up was Topshop, followed by Urban Outfitters. In Urban Outfitters, we came across the bright yellow raincoat that our Mum has - we call it her "Mumma Duck coat". So, naturally, we each put one on and sent her a photo!
|Little Ducklings
I then quickly got a smoothie from Costa but somehow we had already run out of time (I blame Flybe for Katie's delayed arrival) and so we headed to Wagamama in Covent Garden for our sisterly valentines meal. We managed to get a table but had we been any later, it wouldn't have happened. Katie got excited over the free WiFi, I got excited over my noodles and then we both got excited because it was time to head to Cambridge Theatre to watch Matilda the musical!
|Covent Garden all loved-up for Valentine's Day
|The 'Matilda' stage, Cambridge Theatre
I've seen a few West End shows - Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Shrek and Legally Blonde, but I'm pretty sure that Matilda was my favourite yet. Those children were absolutely mind-blowingly talented and the whole show was so upbeat and slick with impeccable timing and also really cleverly staged. Both Katie and I had goosebumps throughout because we were so amazed. If you're thinking of going to see a West End show soon, make sure it's Matilda! You will not be disappointed.
This morning, we got up early (8:15am is early, ok?), had a delicious Premier Inn breakfast and then took the underground to London Bridge to go up The Shard! I booked these tickets earlier in the week because I thought it was an amazing thing to be able to do, to see London from the tallest building in the city. Plus, of course, I was thinking about the Instagram opportunities! So after being X-rayed on entry and having our (typically overpriced) welcome photo taken in front of the green screen, we were directed to the lift. Now, this lift is not any ordinary lift my friends, no no no. It is the fastest and most modern/technologically advanced lift I have ever been in. We couldn't believe how fast we were travelling up each floor when we were looking at the numbers on the screen. I later googled how fast it travels - SIX METRES PER SECOND. It took about 10 seconds to reach Floor 33 (it takes that amount of time to reach Floor 3 in my building!) where we got out, walked around to another lift, and then continued up to Floor 68. We both felt a little bit sick in that lift because it was going so fast and our ears were popping and we felt weightless. It was so strange. Oh and the roof of the lift was playing video of us travelling through the roofs of some of London's most famous buildings.
The lift was impressive, but not as impressive as the views of London from Floors 68 and 72 of The Shard. Here are a view snaps...
|The top of The Shard
And of course, we had to whip out the selfie stick didn't we?
Annoyingly it was really cloudy when we went up and by the time we were leaving London just an hour later, the sun came out and the sky was a gorgeous blue. But it was still breathtaking (literally, I did feel a little funny and have legs like jelly!) and when you all go and see Matilda, you must take a trip up the Shard too!
In our final hour of London time, we decided to be proper tourists and head to Leicester Square. Here, we embraced the red London buses, the red brick buildings, and the selfie stick for some more photos...
Everything about these photos screams "tourists" doesn't it?! I love visiting London - it's not a rare thing for me but it just has that magic about it. It makes my heart happy when I get to explore its awesomeness. We both had such a lovely weekend there and we had so much fun. Thanks little sidling for such a lovely birthday treat :-)
You'll be pleased to know, you have reached the end of this blog post and I have reached the end of my birthday week. It's been so different to previous birthdays but really, really wonderful! Thank you for all your birthday cards and messages and wishes and presents and company, to anyone who has been a part of it! x

Phuket court rules 'secured' or 'collective' leases are void
The Phuket News
The terms may look tempting, but will the courts agree?
PHUKET: -- In a shock decision by the Phuket Civil Court, backed by the Region 8 Appellate Court, it has been ruled that the so-called secured leases offered by some real estate developers to allow foreigners to secure a cast-iron 90-year lease are not valid.
The case is now to go to the Supreme Court.
The Phuket News legal correspondent, Jerrold Kippen, has revealed that not only has the structure been ruled invalid but the courts decision may illegallmean that the original underlying 30-year lease, even if registered with the Land Office, is now void it never existed, leaving the buyer with two handfuls of nothing.
Mr Kippen explained, As a general rule foreigners cannot own land and apartment units but it is possible for foreigners to lease them and that is the reason why these are commonly marketed to foreign buyers on a leasehold basis.
Under Thai law the maximum lease term is 30 years, which may be renewed upon expiration of that term.
The leases marketed to foreigners typically provide for an initial 30-year term plus two additional successive 30-year renewal terms.
However, the renewal of a lease in Thailand is by no means assured even if it is provided for in the original lease agreement.
He explained that in order to overcome this issue the Secured or Collective Lease was devised and marketed to foreigners. This is meant to ensure that the lease is renewed, twice, as originally agreed.
The way this security is supposedly provided is by the buyer not only entering into a lease agreement with the Thai company that owns the developers land/apartment, but also entering into a share-sale-and-purchase agreement for shares that control the Thai company that owns the developers land/apartment.
Now, however, two Thai courts have concluded that the Secured Lease is void as a matter of law.
A contract that is found to be void is considered never to have existed.
If other courts confirm these two courts opinions, then not only will any renewal term of Secured Leases be invalid but also the current lease terms.
This would be the case regardless of whether such a lease was already registered, Mr Kippen said.
Why? Because a finding that a lease is void means that it never legally existed and, therefore, as far as the law is concerned, a void lease cannot be, nor ever could have been, registered.
Even if the legally void lease went through the Land Office formalities of registration, with registration fees paid, papers signed and stamped by the land officials, it simply does not change the legal non-existence of the void lease because, legally, nothing happened by such acts.
In the test case now headed for the Supreme Court, the buyers entered into the projects Secured Lease structure. Leases, in this case for apartments, were registered several years ago.
The lessees filed a civil case against the developer of the project in the Civil Court to protect their leasehold rights. Neither the buyers nor the developer argued that the leases were not valid.
Quite the contrary: they both relied on provisions of the leases to support their respective arguments.
However, the court decided on its own that the leases when considered in light of the share-sale-and-purchase agreement for the shares that control the Thai company that owns the developers land/apartments were actually fictitious agreements made to conceal what the parties had actually agreed: to sell and buy the relevant real estate.
Section 155 of the Civil and Commercial Code of Thailand (CCC) provides that if two parties enter a fictitious agreement in order to conceal their real agreement, the fictitious agreement is void.
It goes on to state that although the fictitious agreement is void, the hidden agreement that the parties actually made must then be evaluated under the provisions applicable to it, Mr Kippen explained.
In this case, the courts ruled that the parties had entered into fictitious lease agreements through the Secured Lease structure and had done so in order to hide their actual agreement to sell and buy the properties.
The court, he said, decided this meant that the leases were void and that the provisions of Section 456 of the CCC applied to the real sale and purchase agreements.
Section 456 provides, in pertinent part, that a sale of immovable property is void unless it is made in writing and registered by the competent official.
The court then concluded that since these sales were not made in writing nor registered with the competent official, they too were void.
This ruling, by a sole trial court judge, was then appealed to a three-judge appeal court panel. The Appellate Court confirmed the trial courts decision on the very same factual and legal grounds as the trial court outlined above:
- The Secured Leases with their lease-plus-share-sale-purchase agreements were fictitious agreements meant to conceal actual sale-and-purchase agreements for the real estate; thus
- The leases and share-sale-purchase agreements were void; as were
- The actual concealed real estate sale-and-purchase agreements because they were not made in writing or registered with the competent official.
Taking these new decisions into account the Secured Lease not only does little if anything to address the very real insecurity that your long-term lease will not be renewed, but it also could have the disastrous consequence that your current lease could be considered legally void, Mr Kippen said.
And according to these courts analysis, anyone who has already invested or is considering investing in such a structure is facing the immediate loss of the investment.
The good news, he said, is that secured leases can be restructured to provide actual long-term lease security legally and without any downside to the developer by securing the pre-paid renewal terms with a mortgage over the land involved.
It is a simple and straightforward legal structure that provides security for the investor. A current Secured Lease can be restructured into this better and genuinely secure alternative, before it is too late.
As always, he added, you should engage competent legal and tax counsel in order to implement this mortgage-based security structure successfully.

We get phone calls all the time about whether the police had probable cause to pull over cars. Often it's a "he said/she said" in court where the police and the driver have a difference of opinions about what actually happened. The ability to produce probable or reasonable cause to stop a car is many and varied.
Out on the road without body cameras, whose to say what really happened? In New York State as of 2017 body and law enforcement vehicle cameras are still a rarity. So it goes "Well I wasn't speeding, I always use my signals, I didn't go through that stop sign, I paused briefly, and it goes on and on." Police often have the upper hand because judges tend to side with law enforcement, and many judges are former police officers.
These days the police regularly run your plate/tag. They have machines mounted on their cars that are high speed plate readers. Any problems with your vehicle registration being out of date or your insurance or your inspection can lead to a stop.
Is it legal for them to use your plate (tag) information to then pull your car over?
Is that plate information fair game for a legal stop?
What if the computer is wrong, can they still use information from the car stop against you?
New York Police Checks of License Plates Do NOT Violate Your Rights Under the Law
If you have NO reasonable expectation of privacy from the plate then you also have NO expectation of privacy about what that information may reveal about you, your car, and your responsibility for taking care of your legal obligations with your vehicle.
- You are legally obligated to pay and maintain a registration.
- You are legally obligated in New York to have it inspected for safety.
- You are legally obligated in New York to maintain car insurance on your car.
Now a problem with any of those obligations or even if the computer tells the police you are, even if you truly are not will be reason enough for a legal police stop of your car. Yes, even computer mistakes still allow legal stops by the police. Because it is reasonable for police to rely on DMV information in good faith.
"Because the purpose of a license plate is to readily facilitate the identification of the registered owner of the vehicle for the administration of public safety, a person has no reasonable expectation of privacy in the information acquired by the state for this purpose and contained in a law enforcement or DMV [Department of Motor Vehicles] database," Chief Justice Janet Difore wrote.
These suspicion-less entry of license plate numbers and letters by police into law enforcement databases are NOT truly legal "searches" under the meaning of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution.
Will This Ruling to Allow Use of DMV Databases for Probable Cause Lead to Abuse?
DiFiore also wrote that the court was "mindful" about concerns over the potential for abuse of license plate checks by police leading to unjustified stops of motorists. The Court's ruling stemmed from a DWI case in Buffalo, NY in 2014.
DWI Arrest Which Began With Unpaid Parking Tickets
The police stop's probable cause for that DWI arrest was upon a plate check. The driver had a lapsed registration from unpaid parking tickets. There was No erratic driving or car accident merely a license plate that revealed a bad registration. The DWI case was tossed at the lower court level in Buffalo City Court. It was eventually appealed by the DA to the county court for reversal and now affirmed by the appellate court.
It has now been ruled that a stop by plate is perfectly legal and further the fruits of that stop (as in the DWI arrest) are legal as well.
Modern Law Enforcement Having the Tools of a Superhero (or Villain)
They can in fact pull up a car's information and that of it's owner. But is the person driving even the owner of the car? Can mistakes in the databases lead to unfair stops? Is this police tool just another blow to our 4th amendment right to privacy?

Nutrition is a big component of day to day life especially in the backcountry. Over the years I have seen students and clients experience food stress due to their preconceived notions about food. "Carbs are bad"! "Fats are bad"! "Animal products will give you a heart attack"! "I am going to gain weight with all this food"! Our caloric needs differ in the backcountry. Our bodies are not only being physically exerted for several hours on end, but they continue to work hard to maintain core body temperature and repair our overworked muscles.
There is a ton of misinformation on the internet or what I like to call "the bathroom wall". People tend to get sucked in to many unreliable sources and fall victim to various fad diets without truly understanding the effects it has on their body. Every human body is different and thus, each body responds differently to what we expose it to. That being said, while I have done a lot of research, taken classes, and sought advisement from various practitioners, I am not a nutritionist or a physician. This blog post is meant to serve as an educational opportunity for those who wish to read about how I continue to discover what works best for my body under extreme physical and mental stress.
As an athlete nutrition has always been a focus starting at a young age. My coaches often discussed nutrition and its impact on performance. However, as a teenager through my mid-twenties I struggled to put in enough calories to keep up with the physical demands of swimming and water polo and pretty much ate whatever was available just to barely keep up. I was a walking garbage disposal. It wasn't until I started going on long expeditions where I didn't have access to endless amounts of food, where the physical demands were much more sustained, and where I would drop 10-20lbs I didn't have to lose, did I realize the importance of deliberate dietary planning of well-balanced meals and snacks. In particular, a short 3 day glacier traverse with my now husband, Corey, served as the impetus to changing the way I think about delivering sugar to my cells.
In 2010, Corey and I traveled up the Herbert Glacier and out the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska. We wound up epicing as terrain challenges kept being thrown at us from uncrossable rivers to bushwacking with skis in 4th class terrain to miles of weaving back and forth through the maze of crevasses. I found myself downing shots of powdered drink mix to give myself quick energy boosts only to bonk further down the energy spectrum. I became frustrated and angry with Corey whose body can go hours on end without food or water. In fact, there were times where I was downright irrational. "Brigitte, let's stop. You need to eat." "Why? You don't' need to eat so why should I eat?!?" After three long grueling days, I reflected on how diet was a big factor in my lack of sustained energy and its impact on my mental state throughout our trip. That summer I embarked on a frontcountry nutrition experiment that changed my approach to food.
My experiment involved being tested for reactive hypoglycemia and observing how glycemic load/absorption rates in food affected my energy levels. I tracked everything that went into my mouth, the time I ate it, and the effect it had on my body. I am a numbers nerd and thus, all this was calculated down to the calorie and number of grams of carbohydrate, fat, protein, sugar, and fiber in an Excel spreadsheet. I did this for two months. While this experiment would have been even more telling had I had the resources to do daily blood work, the other data collected led me to discover that my body is highly sensitive to foods with a high glycemic load. In a nutshell, there are carbohydrates that break down quickly and others slowly. Fiber plays a big role in absorption rates. Conclusion? My body needs a balance of all three macronutrients and ingested in a way where absorption is slowed down. It does best with foods that have a lower glycemic load and when I include fat, protein, and fiber in each meal and snack. When I do a good job with my diet, my energy levels stay sustained throughout the day despite level of exertion, I am able to stay level headed, and I do not lose as much weight. Over the years, I have found that the majority of my students and clients do really well on a similar diet.
I recently have revisited my nutritional practices after receiving an infertility diagnosis in April 2018. To provide some background, I have very low ovarian reserve and my uterine wall is riddled with fibroids (benign tumors), some as large as a baseball. They have misshapen my uterus and blocked a fallopian tube. My husband and I were told that we could not conceive naturally and that egg donation wasn't a good option for us. The chances of miscarriage are very high and carrying a baby would most likely lead to serious complications. Removing them would result in the loss of my reproductive organs and being placed on synthetic hormones for the remainder of my life. Given that I was having very few symptoms resulting from the tumors I chose to keep my uterus fibroids and all.
Needless to say, I found the size and number of fibroids alarming. I began the research process and analyzing my food choices. After speaking with my chiropractor who is also trained as a functional nutritionist, I suspected that my body was suffering a hormonal imbalance and that certain foods were causing an inflammatory response. For example, I have an anaphylactic reaction every time I eat red chili peppers requiring an epinephrine injection. It occurred to me that I may be having some level of inflammation with all peppers and perhaps all foods in the nightshade family (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, goji berries, potatoes). I also hypothesized that dairy could be a culprit in hormonal imbalance. As such, I decided to cut all nightshades and dairy from my diet. I became hyper-vigilant about the source and rearing practices of the animal products I ingested in addition to limiting soy products. I also added a daily dose of non-caffeinated green tea extract after reviewing a study that showed fibroid shrinkage in mice. My overall goal was to balance my hormones and keep the fibroids from growing. Shrinking them would be an added bonus.
This new diet change posed some challenges as an outdoor educator and guide. I could no longer eat the majority of the food in the rations provided. I felt overwhelmed by feelings of "What the hell am I going to eat?" Dairy was a big source of fat in the field. I have French genes in my blood. Cheese is one of my favorite foods. I contemplated cancelling all my contracts, but decided there had to be another way. I could make all my own food and cook for myself. If I cooked and dehydrated my meals ahead of time it would take very little additional fuel and cook time would be minimal. Our dehydrator finally got put to good use as I prepared 8 weeks of meals.
The result of these dietary changes? About a month into it, I had less joint pain, had more energy, and zero menstrual cramps. Another added benefit was I became more flexible and capable of handling clients' dietary restrictions. I no longer find meal planning and shopping for guided trips daunting.
In summary, I hope that you will take away a few learnings from reading about my nutrition reflections.
- Listen to your body.
- Experiment with food choices, but do so under the guidance of trained practioners.
- When looking for practitioners seek out more than one. Most physicians are not trained in nutrition. Find a nutritionist-physician team to work with.
- Be skeptical of what you find on the internet. Critique every piece of information even when coming from practitioners. Ask questions until you feel you have gained a good understanding of the topic. Even then, keep asking.
- With discipline giving up even your favorite foods is possible.
- Having dietary restrictions does not mean that you cannot enjoy long backcountry expeditions. The time spent preparing food for the summer was well worth being able to enjoy the benefits of being out in nature.
- The responsibility of meal planning and accommodating dietary needs of students/clients does not have to be overwhelming. I will share some of my recipes in a future blog post including where I source my food from.
Until next time…

Ronald B. Colgrove (American, 1930-) is a nationally-acclaimed artist specializing in oil paintings and pen & ink drawings. With over sixty years of experience producing fine art, Ron's collection of fine art online exhibits his passion and dedication to the profession. Over the last several decades, his fine art has been on display throughout the U.S.A. earning him multiple awards, including first place at the Greenwich Village Show in New York. Colgrove's most notable art drawing and painting work is his pen & ink series of four European castles. Ron is a native of Buffalo, NY and a graduate of The Albright Art School, which later was affiliated with the State University of New York at Buffalo, NY. After graduating from The Albright Art School, he was predominantly interested in pen & ink drawings using a crow quill flexible dip pen until someone asked him if he was color blind. About that time and because of that remark, he began working with color using acrylic paint. Somewhere along the way, he started silk screening his pen-and-ink drawings and then hand water colored them.
After a 40-year career as Chief Artist for a research and development company--those were the years before the magic of computers when everything was hand drawn; Ron retired in Central Florida and began devoting all of his time to pen-and-ink drawings as well as oil or acrylics paintings. His pen-and-ink European castle series has sold in the hundreds. He continues to work mostly with oil, but still creates commissions of pen-and-ink drawings several times a year.
He has exhibited his fine art at many one-man shows throughout the United States including Western New York and Central Florida, winning national and regional awards for his graphic designs, pen-and-ink drawings, and oil and acrylic paintings. For example, he was awarded first place in the Greenwich Village Show in New York. His paintings hang in private collections throughout the United States, Canada, Spain, and France. Ron compiled and published Buffalo's Architectural Heritage, a book containing pen-and-ink drawings of historic Buffalo, New York, buildings. This compilation is used in the architectural classes at the State University of New York at Buffalo and can be borrowed from the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library System. His book has sold over 2,000 copies throughout Western New York.
The October 1997 issue of The Artist's magazine and the July 2004 issue of Drawing Board magazine have published articles about his pen & ink technique using a crow quill flexible dip pen. Ron is also an inventor of patented children's toys and games. Several of these educational games were sold through the DLM educational catalogs used in schools.
Ron enjoys playing chess, tennis and working out at the YMCA along with his wife, Audrey. Over the years, their various grandchildren have given him many opportunities to paint them.

I have experienced leaving the tribe many times.
I've just returned from a family reunion.
My family of origin belongs to the tribe of zealous evangelical Christians. They are my perfect storm, my true allies in my journey of Oneness and Perfect Unity.
I've chosen the deep dive of the 'I AM' Presence of the Living Mighty Father-Mother within me as my Divine Authority, not Jesus.
The Ascended Jesus Christ, whom I call Jeshua is my Elder Brother, my teacher, my intimate friend, and has helped me in leaving the tribe many times.
"Again, I urge you to think of Me as your Elder Brother, ready to give you Assistance at all times. Do not think of Me as a Transcendent Being so far beyond your reach that contact is impossible; for the "I AM Presence" which enabled Me to make the Ascension is the same "I AM Presence" that will enable you to make the Ascension as I did; only today, you have the Assistance of the Great Ascended Host of Beings who have won the Eternal Victory and joyously stand at your service as you make yourselves ready. With My Love I enfold you. I again repeat: " 'I AM' with you always.""The Ascended Jesus Christ – 'I AM' Discourses – Volume 3

Do you feel like a stranger in your own family of origin?

It's time to accept your true power of your GOD FREEDOM of who you really are, beyond the tribe.
When a Lightworker goes into the unknown you are fulfilling your divine assignment of expanding the Kingdom/Queendom of Heaven.

Aim High, But Wisely
This week I got an email that made me smile because it had Jupiter in Sagittarius written all over it. Here's an excerpt:
"As I reflect on 2018 and the goals I set, one thing stood out to me as something I have to change going into 2019 goals. I didn't aim high enough.
I want to be real clear about one thing up front. I did not hit ALL my goals for end of the year, and that's OK. But what is most important are the goals I did hit, and even some of the ones I didn't. What would have happened if I set them HIGHER?
You see, the lesson I learned this year that I wanted to share with you is that goal setting isn't about checking things off a list. Goal setting is about aiming so high that even when you come up way short, the results are amazing!!"
-Kenny Rueter
Jupiter in Sagittarius unthrottled is like Tigger in full form - exuberant, positive, and resilient. We all have access to some of that optimism right now. You can hear it in Kenny's words with the idea that if we believe "the sky is the limit" we might miss out on the getting the stars too. So why not aim for the stars and then be thrilled when we get the sky?!
That's a great Jupitarian sentiment, but there's an obvious reason this isn't always the best advice: sometimes when we aim to high, the disappointment of not even coming close to our goal is disenchanting and discouraging.

Hello, I am new to MMF2 and have a question regarding gravity in my custom movement. I used this tutorial to make a simple custom movement for my platform game. I would like the player to fall faster than he jumps up, so he ascends at, say, one pixel per frame and then falls at 2 pixels per frame. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a few hours but I can't find any resources to help me. I have experimented with the numbers in the program but I can't get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is my .mfa of the movement.
Thanks much,

Stylish Interior Design schemes for Childrens Rooms
Designing a room for a child or a teenager certainly is not easy.
The older the children are the more important it is to create a space which has clearly define areas for sleeping, playing, studying, and dressing. Creating bedrooms with defined areas for these purposes will help your child to keep the room more tidy but above all it will create a sense of space and wellbeing within their own four walls.
Plenty of storage should allow for all those toys and games to be put away after use, a good study area close to natural light if possible will help to study and a nice area for friends to sit and play as well as a space for the occasional sleepover is all essentials for a well-designed child's bedroom.
Even the smallest room can be a funky childrens room with all the defined areas for playing, studying, sleeping and dressing.
If you find this all too overwhelming just give us a call in our London office, we are happy to help.

Starbucks Hollymead (far end of parking lot)
Field Trip Leader: Joe Coppock
The trail is Loft Mountain Loop: https://virginiatrailguide.com/2009/06/03/loft-mountain-loop/
It's a 2.7-mile loop with about 1 mile of mild to moderate elevation gain (600 ft), and then it is level and downhill from there. We should have a chance to see resident birds and early migrants and the possibility of spotting Ruffed Grouse, which are known to be in the Loft Mountain area and which Joe has encountered twice (though briefly) on this trail. There are also 2 fantastic vantage points with a chance for raptors. Parking is at the Loft Mountain wayside at mile marker 79.5. There is an eatery where food and drinks are served/sold; bathroom facilities are available, as well. The trail begins a hundred yards or so past this on a fire road off Skyline Drive. It's approximately a one hour drive from Charlottesville, just several miles further than the Pocosin Cabin trail.

SWITZERLAND - The head of asset management for the canton of Zürich pension scheme has been sacked after 20 years in government service after the regional government said its trust in him had been "damaged".
Ursula Gut-Winterberger, head of Zürich's financial department, said: "Based on the statements made by the head of asset management, and given the considerable and repeated exploitation of the official position for private purposes, employment is inconceivable.
"Trust in his holding a managing position with major responsibilities has been destroyed beyond repair."
The canton's government made the decision after the public prosecutor forwarded a confidential status report to Gut-Winterberger.
In a press release, the financial department emphasised that the arrested head of asset management had agreed to this forwarding.
Gut-Winterberger also confirmed that he had been reported after she received a tip-off from within the financial department about "possible wrongdoings".
The canton's financial department said it had not yet decided which external department would lead the investigation - to be conducted in addition to a criminal investigation carried out by the public prosecutor - as "very complex connections" would have to be looked into.
The head of asset management remains in custody.

The plasma comb eliminates head lice and nits pain-free for the human hosts.
- © Fraunhofer IST
Anyone can get head lice, but the most common victims of such infestations are children between the ages of three and ten. The parasites feed themselves on blood and can crawl from one head to another quickly – so they often spread in environments such as daycare centers or elementary schools, where the children's heads frequently touch. Head lice infestations not only result in terrible itching, they are also extremely hard to get rid of. A number of chemical treatments such as shampoos, lotions or gels are available. Typically, these products are massaged into the hair and scalp while still slightly damp after washing, and afterwards the hair is combed using a special nit comb. The problem is, this procedure kills the lice but not their eggs – known as nits – so the treatment must be repeated a week later. For the children, the drawn-out procedure is unpleasant and painfull. Many parents are especially hesitant to use chemical products, as some of their active ingredients are harmful to children and infants. The lice and nits can also grow resistant to such chemicals.
Researchers at the Application Center for Plasma and Photonics of the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST in Göttingen, Germany, are therefore developing an alternative treatment method that could eliminate the use of biocides and chemicals. For this goal, cold atmospheric pressure plasma is used: it reliably kills the parasites without causing harm or discomfort to the host. The researchers have developed a special plasma lice comb for this application. Funding for the project is provided by the Volkswagen Foundation.
Electrical fields between electrodes convert air into plasma
The trick to this new technology lies in the high-voltage generator that sends pulses to the teeth of the comb, which serve here as electrodes. The air between two electrodes, or teeth, is ionized in the presence of the high-voltage pulses; thus, plasma is generated. "Plasma is an aggregate state that exists when energy is added to a gas or gas mixture," says Prof. Viöl, director of the Application Center for Plasma and Photonics.
The high voltage is delivered only in very short bursts, using just enough energy to accelerate the tiny electrons without heating up the heavy gas particles pulses; thus, plasma is generated. In this manner, the temperature of the plasma can be set to room temperature. The cold plasmas kill both the lice and the nits without harming the hair or scalp. The process is completely harmless to humans. "After only one treatment, half of the wingless pests are already dead and the rest are gone within a day," says Viöl. The researcher and his team confirmed this through extensive efficacy and safety testing, which was conducted in cooperation with a research institute. "The plasma comb has already been introduced in regional pediatric offices and can be used just like a normal comb," Viöl explains.
Patients with pre-existing ailments, such as asthma or allergies, can also benefit from treating head lice with plasma: there are no aggressive active ingredients to provoke symptomatic outbreaks. Also, the lack of chemical substances in this method makes it more environmentally compatible than traditional processes.
The researchers have patented the technology and plan to initially bring it to market in small production batches as a cosmetic product. "The plasma comb can replace biocidal agents. By altering the shape of the comb and the distance between the teeth, it is also possible to use it for treating infestations on house pets," Viöl explains. Another conceivable option is to use the use the comb as health care device in developing countries, where head lice transmit dangerous bacteria such as typhoid or five-day fever pathogens.

The hike did afford us the opportunity to gain a visual perspective on the pollution. The photo below looks southward along the Wasatch Front toward Utah County. Note how the eastern Traverse Range is fully enveloped in smog and that the pollution top along the Wasatch Range is somewhat ill-defined.
The deeper pollution is actually good news for city dwellers since it means we are mixing our emissions through a deeper layer, which leads to lower near-valley-floor concentrations. On the other hand, if you wish to escape the pollution entirely, you need to go higher. Further, the boundary between the polluted and clean air wasn't sharply defined yesterday. During both the ascent and descent, I found it difficult to determine when we were in it or out of it. You see some evidence in the photo above of pollution transport up the western face of the Wasatch and perhaps this made the pollution gradient on Mt. Olympus somewhat ill defined.
In terms of concentrations on the valley floor, the University of Utah observing site at Neil Armstrong Academy in the West Valley showed a steady long-term increase over the past four days with a peak late yesterday near 35 ug/m3.

The Arrowhead Gallery is a non-profit, fine art gallery featuring a diverse selection of art from all media - painting, photography, sculpture, etc. The gallery represents over 25 artists from Southern Utah.
The Arrowhead Gallery ETC is a co-op gallery of 25+ artists from the Southern Utah Art Guild. The gallery has a diverse selection of art from all mediums – painting, photography, jewelry, ceramics, and metal. The artists represented range from the novice to professionals. All have a passion for creating beautiful art.
The Arrowhead Gallery ETC is a collaborative venture between the Southern Utah Art Guild and the City of St. George. The Southern Utah Art Guild had been searching for a venue to display its member's art. The City of St. George envisioned an art space along side the newly refurbished Electric Theater. A partnership was formed with the common goal to create a gallery to provide emerging and established artists a venue to display and sell their art in a professional setting. The city further envisions the Arrowhead Gallery ETC and the Electric Theater Center to become a cornerstone for an "art district" in located in the city center.
The Arrowhead Gallery ETC is just one part of the Electric Theater Center. Along side the Gallery is the newly renovatedThe Electric Theater Center houses the Arrowhead Gallery, Electric Theater, a newly renovated 300-seat venue for the performing arts, studio space for up to 5 working artists, office space for art organizations, 3 classrooms for art instruction, a dance studio, and 1 workshop room.
The Arrowhead Gallery artists went through a vetting process where their work was juried and selected by art professors and professionals from universities throughout Utah.
The building that previously occupied the 68 East Tabernacle address was the Arrowhead Department Store. According to locals, the "Arrowhead" name comes from the Arrowhead Trail, the original highway from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to Salt Lack City. This route opened in 1917 and generally followed "Old Route 91" through St. George along what is now Tabernacle Street. It was obvious to the artists and to the city that the gallery needed to be called the Arrowhead Gallery ETC (Electric Theater Center) – a name connecting the past with the future.

One of my favourite memories from the PRECIOUS program was one of our God talks a number of months ago. I brought in some magazines for the girls to look over and asked them to cut out who they would consider the perfect woman. During this activity, there was one youth who did not want to participate. I, of course, assumed she was not interested in the activity, but as I asked about it she explained why.
"There are no perfect women because everyone is different and what is perfect to one person is different to someone else. It is not what is on the outside that counts, but what is on the inside."
This was such a sweet and impactful moment as we transitioned it into talking about becoming a Proverbs 31 woman. What a testimony it is to see just how far this girl has come in the last three years that I have known her.
A few weeks ago, I met with this particular youth who was going through some challenges in her life. We had an opportunity to read through the Bible and define who God says we are. At the end of our time together, I challenged her to take home a piece of paper that is titled, "The Fathers Love Letter," and find all the verses that are highlighted in this letter in her very own Bible (which I had given her the previous week).
It has only been a week and she has been eagerly reading her Bible finding all of these Bible verses on her own time and underlining them. This girl is so excited to read her Bible and learn for herself who God says she is! Please pray for this girl and that she will not lose momentum in discovering for herself who God is.

Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., assistant Democratic leader, have introduced a bipartisan legislation in the Senate seeking reform of the H-1B visa program and to modify wage requirements. It is cosponsored by Senators Bill Nelson, Richard Blumenthal and Sherrod Brown. It explicitly prohibits the replacement of American workers by H-1B or L-1 visa holders.
"The H-1B visa program was never meant to replace qualified American workers, but it was instead intended as a means to fill gaps in highly-specialized areas of employment that cannot be filled by Americans," Grassley said. "The abuse of the system is real, and media reports are validating what we have argued against for years, including the fact that Americans are training their replacements."
There is a sense of urgency for Americans who are losing their jobs to lesser-skilled workers who are coming in at lower wages on a visa program that has gotten away from its original intent, he said. "Reform of the H-1B visa program must be a priority," Grassley stressed.
The bill would prohibit companies from hiring H-1B employees if they employ more than 50 people and more than 50 percent of their employees are H-1B and L-1 visa holders.
This provision would crack down on outsourcing companies that import large numbers of H-1B and L-1 workers for short training periods and then send those same workers back to their home country to do the work of Americans, the senators said.
"For years, foreign outsourcing companies have used loopholes in the laws to displace qualified American workers and facilitate the outsourcing of American jobs," Durbin said. "The H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act would end these abuses and protect American and foreign workers from exploitation."
The bill would also give the Department of Labor enhanced authority to review, investigate and audit employer compliance, as well as to penalize fraudulent or abusive conduct. The bill says that working conditions of similarly-employed American workers may not be adversely affected by the hiring of the H-1B worker, including those who have been placed by another employer at the American worker's worksite. Many companies hire workers from India on H-1B visas.
The Grassley-Durbin reform bill will, for the first time, prioritize the annual allocation of H-1B visas. In addition, the bill includes the establishment of a wage floor for L-1 workers; authority for the Department of Homeland Security to investigate, audit and enforce compliance with L-1 program requirements; assurance that intra-company transfers occur between legitimate branches of a company and don't involve "shell" facilities; and a change to the definition of "specialized knowledge" to ensure that L-1 visas are reserved only for truly key personnel.
