The "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" Creates Opportunity Zones to Spur Economic Developmentby Christopher G. Cox, publisher and managing editor, www.realesavvy.com February 20, 2019
A relatively small component of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed in December of 2017, was the creation of Opportunity Zones in every state in the U.S., as well as in the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories.
The purpose of this legislation is to encourage investment in economically distressed communities by making it possible for investors to receive preferential tax treatment for investments made in businesses operating within these Zones.
Tami Bonnell, CEO of EXIT Realty International, explains that individuals who invest in Opportunity Zones are eligible to reduce taxes on capital gains, depending on how long the investment is held. "If the investment is held for 10 years," she said, "there are zero capital gains taxes on the increase in the investment. It's a great thing when you can get a return on your investment and invest in people at the same time."
At a time when bipartisan agreements are rare and becoming rarer, Bonnell points out that the Investing in Opportunities Act was initially supported by Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina and Representative Pat Tiberi of Ohio and Democrats Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and Representative Ron Kind of Wisconsin.
Opportunity Zones have the potential to address many of the country's most vexing economic problems, Bonnell notes. "One in six Americans lives in an economically distressed community," said Bonnell. "There is something wrong with the way we're operating when we have that much poverty in the United States."
Bonnell cautions that the goals related to Opportunity Zones need to be closely monitored to ensure that both investors and communities benefit. "We don't want to impose gentrification where people in poverty zones end up with fewer options in smaller and smaller communities," she said.
Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, agrees with Bonnell that this legislation has great potential to reinvigorate urban communities, but must be carefully implemented with important "guard rails to ensure that it does not become a tool for removal and gentrification."
"I think what is required," said Morial, "is for community leaders – mayors, city council members, county commissioners and other local leaders – to legislate conditions that require affordable housing to be an integral component of new projects."
Morial also wants Opportunity Zone projects to require that minority and women-owned businesses have a chance to participate in construction and that local residents have access to jobs within the Zones.
In addition, Morial adds, community leaders — who clearly want these investments — should not wait for Congress to act but should take the initiative to make certain these protections are in place before projects get under way. "When I look at Opportunity Zones," Morial notes, "I see green lights and yellow lights. The yellow lights say caution."
Moving forward, Bonnell sees one of the biggest challenges associated with Opportunity Zones as making investors aware of them and how they work. Noting that she travels the country giving dozens of speeches every year, Bonnell often asks audience members to raise their hands if they're aware of Opportunity Zones.
"Typically, less than half the audience raise their hands – sometimes it's just a handful of individuals," she said. "This is a big opportunity that people are not embracing because they're not aware of it."

Walkthrough: Determining Where My.Application.Log Writes Information (Visual Basic)
My.Application.Log object can write information to several log listeners. The log listeners are configured by the computer's configuration file and can be overridden by an application's configuration file. This topic describes the default settings and how to determine the settings for your application.
For more information about the default output locations, see Working with Application Logs.
To determine the listeners for My.Application.Log
Locate the assembly's configuration file. If you are developing the assembly, you can access the app.config in Visual Studio from the Solution Explorer. Otherwise, the configuration file name is the assembly's name appended with ".config", and it is located in the same directory as the assembly.
Not every assembly has a configuration file.
The configuration file is an XML file.
Locate the
<listeners>section, in the
<source>section with the
nameattribute "DefaultSource", located in the
<sources>section. The
<sources>section is located in the
<system.diagnostics>section, in the top-level
If these sections do not exist, then the computer's configuration file may configure the
My.Application.Loglog listeners. The following steps describe how to determine what the computer configuration file defines:
Locate the computer's machine.config file. Typically, it is located in the SystemRoot\Microsoft.NET\Framework\frameworkVersion\CONFIG directory, where
SystemRootis the operating system directory, and
frameworkVersionis the version of the .NET Framework.
The settings in machine.config can be overridden by an application's configuration file.
If the optional elements listed below do not exist, you can create them.
Locate the
<listeners>section, in the
<source>section with the
nameattribute "DefaultSource", in the
<sources>section, in the
<system.diagnostics>section, in the top-level
If these sections do not exist, then the
My.Application.Loghas only the default log listeners.
Locate the <
add>elements in the <
These elements add the named log listeners to
Locate the
<add>elements with the names of the log listeners in the
<sharedListeners>section, in the
<system.diagnostics>section, in the top-level
For many types of shared listeners, the listener's initialization data includes a description of where the listener directs the data:
A Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener listener writes to a file log, as described in the introduction.
A System.Diagnostics.EventLogTraceListener listener writes information to the computer event log specified by the
initializeDataparameter. To view an event log, you can use Server Explorer or Windows Event Viewer. For more information, see ETW Events in the .NET Framework.
The System.Diagnostics.DelimitedListTraceListener and System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener listeners write to the file specified in the
A System.Diagnostics.ConsoleTraceListener listener writes to the command-line console.
For information about where other types of log listeners write information, consult that type's documentation.

Ancestry DNA shows I have an African ancestor by the name of Quartey. I searched the name in Google and found they are descendants of the Ga tribe from Accra Ghana. I am going to research this tribe and continue to update this post with my findings. My DNA shows I am 7% Nigerian and 12% Ivory Coast Ghana.
SHEIKH MUSTAFA'S INTRODUCTION IS BELOW type his name into Google to find his blog or check out my re blogs.
INTRODUCTION by SHEIKH MUSTAFA
Quarteys' all over the world are descendants of the Royal Family of Kpakpatse We clan of the Asεrε group of the Ga speaking people, which is one of the seven quarters (Akutséii) that constituted the Ashiedu Kεtεkε District within the Odododiodioo Constituency of the Ga Mashie Community in Accra. The Asεrε group of people comprises of five different clans which relocated to the coastal settlements of Little Akra (Ga Mashie) after the destruction of Great Akra (Ayawaso) by the Akwamus in the early Sixteen Century. Among them is the Kpakpatse We Royal Family, whose history we shall discuss in this discourse.
That is the end of SHEIKH MUSTAFA quote.
History and Cultural Relations
The Ga have lived in southern Ghana for more than a thousand years. They largely displaced or intermarried with the indigenous Kpeshi people, established their system of rotating slash-and-burn horticulture, and eventually adopted maize as a primary staple as opposed to the earlier millet. The date of the earliest settlement at Accra is not known, but that settlement was flourishing by the fifteenth century. Accra developed from a series of contiguous settlements formed at different times by different peoples who developed a coherent but flexible sense of Ga identity.
The growth of Accra was stimulated by the arrival of the Europeans, the first being the Portuguese, who built a small fort there in 1482. In the seventeenth century the English, Dutch, Swedes, and Danes established spheres of influence, entering into a preexisting coastal trade. Further growth came with the destruction of the original capital, Ayawaso, 2.1 miles (3.4 kilometers) northwest of Accra, by the Akwamu kingdom in 1677. After being in a tributary relationship with the Akwamu until 1730, Accra regained and largely maintained its independence until it was occupied by the British in 1874. By the beginning of the nineteenth century Accra had a population of approximately 7,500 to 10,000 and was well developed, with extensive interior and exterior trade connections. Merchants in Accra acted as middlepersons in the trade of slaves, gold, and other commodities between the Europeans and the Asante kingdom to the north. From the 1820s on European missionaries arrived in the area and had a substantial impact.
Ga ethnicity was constructed out of many strands because of the multiplicity of trade contacts, religious influences, founding ethnicities, and cross-cultural contacts fostered by intermarriage. A common saying at Asere is, "There is no such thing as a pure Ga." Not only were many European and inland African ethnicities represented in Accra over hundreds of years, but also the lateral coastal connections produced migrations of Brazilian, Sierra Leonean, and Nigerian families, who formed clans and assumed Ga identity.
Around the turn of the twentieth century Accra experienced a series of disasters, including famines, a fire in 1894, an earthquake in 1906, bubonic plague, and the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, as well as continuous emigration of skilled laborers. A severe earthquake in 1939 destroyed much of Central Accra and gave added impetus to settle in new suburban settlements such as Kaneshie and Adabraka.
The tribe of Ga are descendants of GAD and are the hebrew Israelites. They left Egypt and migrated to Ghana via Nigeria and Ethiopia there is much discussion around this on the internet.
http://www.ghanadot.com have great information regarding this. Below is a quote from their blog.
The Ga-Dangmes claim to be descendants DAN and GAD, the fifth and seventh sons of Jacob. Biblical history suggests that Jacob, whom God named YISRAEL had Leah as his wife who gave birth to four sons for him. When Leah noticed that she had passed child-bearing age, she gave her maid servant, ZILPAH to wife. Through Zilpah, Jacob had Dan and Gad and four more sons. Jacob has two sons with Rachel. Gad's fifth son was Eri who later formed a clan known as Erites (Genesis 30:9, Genesis 46:16, Numbers 26:15-19 and Deuteronomy 3:12; Genesis 30:4-8 3:12.The descendant of Eri, son of Gad are believed to have founded the Nri Kingdom around 900 A.D of the South Eastern and parts of the mid-western Igboland in Nigeria with other tribes of Levi, Zebulon, Ephraim and possibly more. In the Book of numbers, the Bible had made extensive references to the children of Israel, which includes Gad and Dan and their children (Numbers 1:1-54).
Biblical history strongly lends support to the claim by Ga-Dangmes that they are HEBREW ISRAELITES due to the fact Ga-Dangme names are found throughout the OLD TESTAMENT. Examples are: NIIKOILAI (Rev:2, 6, 15); AMASA (2 Samuel 17, 25; 1 Chronicle 33 20-21 DJAANI/JANNE, 2 Timothy 3: 8; AMON, 2 Chronicle 33: 20-21; ASHALE (ASAHEL), 1 Chronicle 2:16, 2 Samuel 2: 18-19.
King AYI KUSHI, spelled Cush in Hebrew, Genesis 10: 6 Jeremiah 13:23, Isaiah 18:12) led the Ga-Dangmes from Cush in Jerusalem to Ayawaso and was the founder of the GA DYNASTY. It is believed that the Ga-Dangmes Kingdom at AYAWASO was the first Kingdom in GHANA. It is interesting that Queen Dode (Dodi) Akabi's name DODI is a Hebrew Name. Also, the name of the hunter, KADI, who found a group people at OSU DOKU and introduced them to the Nungua Mantse, is a Hebrew name. The Nungua Mantse, in consultation with the Ga Mashi Mantse gave Osu lands to the "KADI GBOI" as people of Osu were referred to.
Ga-Dangmes custom of circumcision of their male born and their patriarch traditions further lend support to their Hebrew Israelites origins (Genesis 17: 1-12). The HOMOWO FESTIVAL (the PASSOVER) celebrated by the Ga-Dnagmes supports their claim that they are Hebrew Israelites, descendants of children of Jacob (Exodus 13: 1-10); Exodus 12: 1-50; Numbers 9:1-5
According to Abbey in his book KEDZI AFO JORDAN (1968), Ga-Dangmes tradition during which they put money in the coffins of their deceased relatives prior to burial is an ancient Hebrew Israelites custom. In ancient Israel of the Bible, the deceased were said to be buried across the river Jordan. Coins placed in the coffins of the deceased believing that their spirits will use it in "paying" for their passage across the River Jordan. The "abayan", cloth belonging to the deceased, which is torn to pieces, and each piece placed on the left wrist of the deceased relatives and very close friends, is an ancient Jewish custom. Also, the DIPO or OTUFO customs of the Ga-Dangmes are said to be ancient Hebrew Israelites customs. These and ancient traditional customs still observed by Ga-Dangmes clearly lend credence to their claim that they are of Hebrew Israelites origins.
End of extract from Ghana. Com blog
Through my own research I have found that the Ga-Dnagmes believe in one supreme being and an evil being who we would call Satan in Europe society. The tribe also believe there are good and bad spirits. The tribe believe that our ancestors guide us through life. People are held accountable in this community for their actions. Many people would have you believe that all of these people worship deities and animals and spirits which is not the case. There are good and bad types of worship and the bad takes the direction of black magic, spirit worship and sacrifices to a number of God's in my opinion and the opinion of some of the Ghanian community. A documentary I watched discussed this very point and even the indigenous Igbo of the land are aware of this and confirm the difference in the 2 religions. An interesting point is that for 1000s of years there have been people who believed in one God. Religion unfortunately has used it's power to dominate and rule over certain people claiming all men worshiped numerous God's and therefore had to be taken under control. Slavery is heavily documented in The Bible and Quran and historical documents breathe life to the story.
Fort James was built in 1673 in Accra as a trading port. It appears that the slaves were shipped straight from Ghana to Jamaica and other ports that I have yet to explore. In researching my heritage I identified that my paternal line traces back to Accra Ghana. I stored the picture below as my investigations led to Elmina Ghana. Many slaves were transported from the castle below.
Elmina is conveniently located at the shore line providing a means of transporting the slaves at the time. This castle was used in Ghana to ship the slaves across the continent.
Some of the people enslaved were described as AKAN in the slave records. These Africans were from The slavery Gold Coast and would likely have spoken a number of languages which are still in use today.
Currently English is the official language of Ghana and the Ga are a mixture of peoples concentrated in the capital, many first-language Ga speakers also know English, one or more of the Akan languages (Fante or Twi), and/or Ewe. These are the languages that they speak in that area.
Further information can be found online http://www.encyclopedia.com they state the following:
The oldest area of settlement in Accra, now known as Central Accra, is composed of seven quarters, among which Asere, Abola, and Gbese are oldest and considered to be the most traditionally Ga. Otublohum originally was settled by people from Akwamu and Denkyera to the northwest. These four quarters make up Ussher Town, the area placed under Dutch jurisdiction in the seventeenth century. The other three quarters—Alata or Nleshi, Sempe, and Akanmadze—are said to be of later origin. Alata was settled by Nigerian workers imported to construct a European fort. These three quarters are commonly called James Town and formed the original area of British jurisdiction at Accra. Asere is by far the largest quarter in terms of population and area. All quarters have clan houses known as wekushia, the original homes of Ga patrilineages, and chiefs called mantsemei.
Extract above from http://www.encyclopedia.com
My DNA interestingly enough shows the migration of africans down the coast of Africa from Mali and Senegal down to Nigeria Ghana Benin Togo Cameroon and Congo
It is also to be noted that the tribe of Ga are no longer just found in Africa. There are claims that the chereokee Indians and native Americans also originate from this tribe. I will be exploring their heritage and other tribes later in this blog.
A personal account of St George Castle in Elmina is below by the New York Times
Elmina, 93 miles west of Accra, at the western edge of Ghana's central region, is different. Here the highway looks out on coconut groves lining the beach, and the massive weight of St. George's Castle, at the end of the bay's long sweep, is clear even from a distance. Here the contrasts that characterize Europe's first footholds on the continent make themselves felt: the gray and white of the stone against the turquoise and green of the sea, the fortified solidity of the structure against the airy openness of the horizon.
Built in 1482 by the Portuguese in the area they called Mina de Ouro (the gold mine), after they found vast quantities of the precious metal there, the castle is the oldest European structure in sub-Saharan Africa. For more than 100 years the area around Elmina was the center of a thriving trade in gold, ivory and peppers, which the Africans supplied in abundance, and cloth, beads, metals and hardware, which the Portuguese brought from Europe.
After two unsuccessful attempts to take it, the Dutch captured the castle in 1637 with an assault from the land. Mindful of similar threats, they built Fort Coenraadsburg on St. Iago Hill, where it keeps watch to this day over St. George's rear. The great castle then became the African headquarters of the Dutch West Indies Company, whose business was supplying the needs of the New World's great plantations. Foremost among these was the need for labor; the Dutch became the slave trade's masters.
Elmina's storerooms were converted to dungeons as other European powers built lodges and forts on what became known as the Gold Coast and began competing fiercely for their share of the trade from the mid-1600's on. The building that once housed a Portuguese Catholic Church became Elmina's slave market, where African dealers brought their captives, many of them victims of tribal wars. By the 18th century an estimated 68,400 slaves were exported from Africa each year, of whom about 41,000 came from West Africa, according to published accounts of the times. Of those, 10,000 left Elmina's shores when the castle was operating at full capacity, according to Ghana's Museums and Monuments Board.

Brother identifies head of Ashura blast victim
KARACHI: Ghulam Hussain may have
received a sense of closure when on Friday he identified the mutilated head of
his brother, missing since the Dec 28, 2009 Ashura carnage, but he dreaded
having to break the heart-rending news to his sister-in-law, nephews and nieces
back in Sargodha.
The head of the victim, who was
killed along with many other participants of the main Ashura procession in a
bomb blast last month, was found on Jan 20 near a bakery on M.A. Jinnah Road.
Comforted by two brothers-in-law
as he hobbled out of the Edhi morgue in Sohrab Goth after identifying the head,
Hussain said he had finally found out the fate of his missing brother Ejaz
What lay ahead of him was the
sorrowful task of sharing the news with Ejaz�s widow, three daughters and two
sons back home in Shahpur tehseel of Sargodha district, he said.
He added that his brother was
the only breadwinner of his family.
�Today, I came to know what I
already kind of knew in my heart of hearts, but the family back home will have a
hard time coming to terms with this tragedy. They only know that Ejaz is here to
make a meagre living for the family as a labourer at the Karachi Fish Harbour.�
Thirty-eight-year-old Ejaz Ahmed
was one of the four persons who were missing since the Ashura procession
tragedy. The victim�s head was found near Lighthouse more than 20 days after the
Though the police with the
assistance of the victim�s friends were close to having traced his identity, the
remains were shifted to the Edhi morgue after a postmortem examination at the
Civil Hospital Karachi for a confirmation by a relative. Accordingly, his elder
brother Ghulam Hussain, a resident of Shahpur, was requested to visit the city.
The incident also came as a rude
shock to the families of three other people missing since the tragedy, who were
relying on the police claim that the affected area had been cleared after a
thorough search and the investigators found no more signs of human remains in
the locality.
Though the police claimed to
have almost traced the links to three other missing persons, the investigators
left several questions unanswered � the screening of the area after the tragedy,
gathering of forensic evidence and police�s honesty about having made efforts to
trace the persons missing after the blast.
�Since it�s a congested area
search of every corner and space is a complicated task, yet this is being
ascertained as to how a body part remained undetected despite screening of the
affected area,� said Inspector Amjad Kalhiaar of the Special Investigation Unit,
which had been assigned the investigation into the tragedy.
�We have collected samples of
the family members of the missing people for DNA tests to match them with
unidentified body parts. We are in very close contact with the families of the
missing persons and close to ascertaining their fate.�
But such claims appeared
particularly hollow because Hussain received no official help following the
identification of his elder brother.
�We will now take his body parts
to bury them in our ancestral town. That�s all we have to satisfy ourselves and
Ejaz�s children,� he said. �I can only pray for the families of the other
missing persons as we can feel their pain.�

What do you guys and gals think are good or bad RV Parks?
High end or low end parks?
I don't think I've ever stayed at a "high end" park. The most expensive parks I've stayed in were KOA's in WA and along the Northern Plains last spring. I've stayed in KOA's in northern Indiana and in The Smokey Mountains (I forget which one). I do feel safe in the KOA's. They do have a lot of amenities, things to do, and they keep the campgrounds clean. The camping spots tend to be smaller, but they're clean and the employees seem to go out of their way to make sure you're happy. Of course....it wouldn't have anything to do with the e-mail survey's I got after each stay??? I answered favorably to all of them, by the way.
I stayed in State Parks in Michigan last September, and I was impressed!!!! Large lots, well kept, water and electric at all spots (if that's what you want). I also like the showers that were totally separate from the restrooms, and the showers were separate locked rooms. That's a safer feeling to me. Economical. If you're going to stay more than 4 nights in MI state parks in one year, be sure to buy their window sticker pass--it saves $$$.
Indiana's state parks are clean, large lots, electric to the spots (if you want). I haven't seen any of the showers that are separate from the bathrooms--the ones I've camped in lately have the flimsy plastic shower curtains, and nothing to stop that cold air from coming in
A poor park? It would be one like I stayed in in Kansas last spring. Set up for RV''s only, and "they" didn't want to talk to a woman in a tent. The office closed at 4pm and even though they lived next to the office, they neither answered the door nor phone after hours. I wasn't sure what I should pay, so I know I over- paid for the spot I selected, but it was less expensive than a motel. I definitely ignored one of the rules that was listed. My space heater was running all night long!!! It got down to 37* with a 20 mph west wind and I wasn't quite prepared for that!!
So, that's my experiences--hope that helps.

Goodnight Baseball
Goodnight Baseball is written by Michael Dahl and Illustrated by Christina Forshay. It is created in partnership with Sports Illustrated Kids.
This book is very cute. It goes through a baseball game as a young fan would see it and wraps up nicely leaving your child ready for bed. I think the pictures are beautiful, the book is easy to read and follow and the whole thing is very calming. I would definitely buy this for my son and I recommend it to anyone with a young boy or baseball fan!
Review from my Five year old son-"That was a really funny book and the moon was a baseball! That was even funnier!"
*** I was given this book by the publisher in exchange for an open and honest review***

As voters gear up for the 2012 election, both Republicans and Democrats are preparing to go on the offensive.
Republicans and their conservative base are expected to point out President Obama's dangerous ties and disastrous record. Alternatively, Democrats and their liberal cohorts will rely on class warfare rhetoric, "Occupy Wall Street," and more violent measures to attain their goals.
Most pointedly, one leftist organization keen on re-electing President Obama is the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
In February, Washington Examiner's Tim Carney highlighted its close ties to the Obama Administration. He expounded on campaign donations and frequent White House visits from SEIU's president, Andy Stern.
That being said, the SEIU will play an integral role in President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign given their previous 28 million dollar donation to him in 2008.
What exactly is the SEIU and what does it stand for?
Historically, the SEIU claims to represent "underrepresented and exploited workers," tracing its legacy back to 1921.
Their website reads, "…members of seven small flat janitor unions dared to dream they could build their strength by forming a single organization, the Building Service Employees International Union, BSEIU. A union of mostly immigrant workers, BSEIU was primarily organized of janitors and window washers in its early years–workers who were excluded from other unions at the time. BSEIU faced opposition from building owners, the courts, and even other unions, but managed to quickly grow from 200 members in 1921 to 250,000 by 1960."
It adds, "From those humble beginnings grew an organization of 2.2 million janitors, nursing home workers, nurses, child care providers, security officers, county and city workers, and other workers. Today SEIU is the fastest-growing union in North America, uniting workers in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico."
Although the SEIU claims to champion worker rights, their motives and actions prove otherwise.
The SEIU is violent.
The SEIU website reads, "SEIU members keep our buildings and communities safe and clean and our families healthy, we care for our children and our elderly, and keep our cities and states running."
RedState contributor Labor Union Report expounds on the violent nature of the union organization. He directs readers to recent SEIU job listings:
Leadership Development:
• Leading members and organizers to develop curriculum and lead leadership development trainings
• Train and lead members in non-violent civil disobedience, such as occupying state buildings and banks, and peaceful resistance.
• Implement leadership program with the goal of engaging 10% of members in active leadership and majority participation
Member Mobilization:
• Execute field plans mobilizing members around political campaigns, annual Leadership Convention, lobby days, regional meetings.
• Execute field plans for special campaigns including contract campaigns, ballot initiatives, COPE contributions, general membership growth and the broader campaign to fight for a fair economy.
• Plan and execute strategic direct action field plans including banner drops, bank takeovers, and capitol occupations with membership, other local unions, and coalition partners
Most recently, SEIU organizers teamed up with other "Occupy Wall Street" participants to storm the private home of Greg Baer, who is the deputy counsel for corporate law at Bank of America.

The SEIU is racist.
The website adds, "We stand up for justice and for civil rights for all–for immigrants, for women, for LGBT workers, for people of color, for all workers–because we know that's the only way we can move our country forward."
In August 2009, Kenneth Gladney—a black conservative activist—was brutally beaten by SEIU teamsters in St. Louis while handing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags. He was subjected to racial slurs and beatings from the union thugs for associating with the Tea Party Movement. Additionally, the NAACP ignored this incident as Gladney did not fit the leftist mold. For a group that champions minority rights, this proved counterproductive to their mission statement:
The SEIU is corrupt.
Syndicated columnist and conservative activist Michelle Malkin exposed SEIU's corrupt nature in her brilliant treatise, Culture of Corruption.
Malkin wrote, "The L.A. Times investigation zeroed in on Tyrone Freeman who, like Barack Obama, began his career as an urban community organizer."
"Freeman, the L.A. Times discovered, had piped $600,000 in union contracts to his wife's video production and entertainment ventures. The local also paid his mother-in-law $8,000 a month to babysit his daughter and other union employees' children; footed a $13,000 bill for membership at a Beverly Hills cigar club; covered $12,500 in tabs at upscale Morton's restaurant in Burbank; and forked over $8,000 in union dues to cover expenses for Freeman's Hawaiian wedding. Freeman's spending orgy didn't end there," she added.
Before casting a vote for President Obama in 2012, be sure to note his close ties to the SEIU – a relationship born out of mutual disdain for free markets, rule of law, and civility. The question beckons: how can Americans trust a president whose allegiance lies with union thugs, anarchists, and Marxists rather than the American people?
Americans cannot be duped by unions—particularly, public sector unions—any longer due to their brutal tactics, anti-American goals, and disrespect for dissenting viewpoints. Come 2012, voters should challenge them and expose them.

Cash takers not considered with same standards as company car drivers, says Arval
Drivers taking a cash option instead of a company car are often not being considered with the same risk management standards, says Arval.
When it comes to safety, drivers opting for a cash option fall off the radar, despite higher mileage vehicles and other risk groups, said Arval's head of consultancy, Shaun Sadlier.
He said: "Anyone who is using a vehicle on business is their employer's responsibility when it comes to duty of care, no matter whether they drive a company car or provide their own.
"However, we frequently see instances where fleets do little or nothing to monitor even the risk management basics when it comes to cash takers. This could result in omissions as fundamental as having no regular licence checking or walkaround vehicle inspection processes in place."
Shaun added that a part of the issue was an assumption within fleets that cash taker drivers were low mileage and therefore low risk.
"In general, the average cash taker does cover fewer miles than core fleet counterparts but this does not mean that all of them do. It is not unusual to come across a 25,000 mile a year cash taker driver or one who has up to 6-9 points on their licence.
"If these people were driving company cars, they would typically be given a higher degree of risk management attention but, there is potential that they will not be subject to the same level of scrutiny and more importantly support measures such as targeted training."
The underlying problem was that cash takers tended to fall into the same area of neglect as other grey fleet drivers, Shaun added.
"Really, this is an area of weakness in overall fleet management that needs addressing. Just because a driver occasionally uses their car for business, they need to be part of your risk management strategy."

Dallas, Texas
It all started with an exclusive invitation to a "hookah -like" lounge event….how could I say no! From the moment I received my invitation to the TNLA Expo in Dallas, TX I knew our team had to experience this event! As members of the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association ( TNLA), we had the opportunity to meet other landscape professionals in Texas and Out of State. One of the biggest reasons why I decided to travel to Dallas early on was to take part in the TNLA Naturally Inspired Womens' Wine and Tapas Get together, I wanted the opportunity to be around other woman in the industry and learn from their experiences and hear their success stories. A few highlights from my arrival to Dallas to the day the rest of the team arrived are described in this blog post…I hope you will enjoy reading and feel free to share my experience with others!
When I arrived at Kay Bailey-Hutchison Convention Center I was blown away by the set up on the show floor, and a little overwhelmed at the same time, as to where I should begin. I was a "Newbee" in the game, and yet was welcomed with Texas size hospitality! This year all newcomers who attended the expo for the first time received a purple colored badge. (My favorite color by the way!) I did not mind to stand out, but it sure did make me feel comfortable knowing others had purple badges as well! While networking with industry professionals and business owners like myself in a very relaxed setting, the newcomers Shindig experience was a unique one for me. It allowed me to relax and enjoy myself around my peers.
The Newcomers Shindig. We covered topics that impact our business today as well as fun topics like home-town sports team and why/how we each choose this profession. The food, drinks, music and people reflected the genuine vibe in Dallas. I had the pleasure of making some new friends as I connected with top professionals and newcomers. Networking and being open about similar industry experiences made me further realize the impact our industry has on our families, our community and the environment.
During this week long event, EXPO education sessions were another key highlight for me because I was able to gain FREE education and insights from experts as well as keynote Speakers like Garrison Wynn. You can see a preview of his speech The Real Truth about Success: What the Top 1% Do Differently and Why They Won't Tell You here: Garrison Wynn Overall the seminar events really allowed me discover the latest advancements in the green industry and become more aware of Federal Legislation impacting the Green industry today. Visiting the over 1,000 booths was by far the highlight of the week! From give-aways, free product trials to sample tastings, we all enjoyed ourselves. Meeting current suppliers, networking and meeting face-to face with professionals really made a difference in moving forward with sales and ongoing communications with my peers.
The Home Turf Texas team had great feedback over the expereince as well. The team specially liked feeling as part of something great, being respected on the show floor and being introduced to new equipement, products and industry professionals made the event a success! Next year we will Saddle up for Expo 2016 in our beloved, Houston, Texas. We are ready to grab life by the "thorns!" and experience another great year of education, tradeshow and networking at George R. Brown Convention Center.

Braves Prospect Primer: Arms abound
Toussaint leads group pushing for Majors; Weigel healthy again
By Sam Dykstra / MiLB.com | March 19, 2019 10:00 AM
Some players are on the verge of stardom, others are entering a crucial phase of their development and still others are getting their first tastes of full-season ball. With the 2019 season approaching, MiLB.com takes a look at the most intriguing prospects from each MLB organization.
Major League-ready: Touki Toussaint, RHP
There any number of prominent arms who could have gone here. Toussaint, Mike Soroka, Kyle Wright and Bryse Wilson are all Top-100 prospects who made their Major League debuts last season. The same could be said for Braves No. 11 prospect Kolby Allard and No. 10 Luiz Gohara, both of whom appeared in The Show for a second straight season. With the Major League club in contention, the organization was willing to push so many arms up to help out partly because of the situation but mostly because of their individual talents.
"They see if they do their job, they're going to get an opportunity," director of player development Dom Chiti said. "If they prove these things, they know they're going to get a chance. I think it's encouraging to them that they understand that -- as we told Touki, Kolby, Mike and all the others -- we don't check your IDs when you get here. The bottom line is can you help our Major League teams win games? Because if you can, then let's go."
Toussaint gets the nod for most Major League-ready because of a combination of past performance and present skills. After opening last season at Double-A Mississippi, the 22-year-old right-hander made five Major League starts after his Aug.13 debut -- the most of anyone on the list above. He also made two scoreless relief appearances during the National League Division Series. Despite that time in the Majors, he also led the system with 163 strikeouts over 136 1/3 innings in the upper levels of the Minors, thanks to a plus fastball, plus-plus curveball and average changeup.

Toussaint looked like he had the inside track on the final spot in the Braves rotation entering camp and has only helped his cause by giving up only two earned runs on seven hits while striking out 13 and walking one over 11 innings in his last three Grapefruit League appearances. It's that one walk that points to his biggest improvement as control issues are what largely held the 2014 first-rounder down earlier in his career.
"His game grew most from the mental side," Chiti said of Toussaint's 2018 season. "He's always had tremendous stuff, but mentally, he started understanding how to use it and how to repeat his delivery. He gained command of his pitches as a result."
With Mike Foltynewicz out to begin the season with elbow tightness, Toussaint should enter 2019 as Atlanta's No. 4 starter. He could be more than that by season's end.
Loudest tool: Cristian Pache, OF
Pache might be one of the system's most electric prospects, even if he didn't hit a lick. The No. 37 overall prospect has been praised for his glove in center field since signing in July 2015, and that admiration has only grown as he climbs the ladder toward Atlanta. Possessing 70-grade speed, he's able to cover a lot of ground in the middle of the park and adds to that range with impressive instincts. His arm also receives plus-plus grades, backed up by his 33 outfield assists over four seasons.
The Braves already have a three-time Gold Glover in center in Ender Inciarte, but Pache's defensive ceiling could be just as high.
"I mean, he's playing a premium defensive position, where everybody wants a center fielder that can really go get the ball," Chiti said. "But what has made it? A lot of hard work on his part. If you watch him work during batting practice, he pays a lot of attention to detail out there. He does the same thing with his batting, too. He enjoys playing defense, and it really shows."

The 20-year-old's bat will determine how quickly he could join Inciarte and Ronald Acuña Jr. with the Braves. He hit .279/.307/.410 with nine homers in 122 games last season between Class A Advanced Florida and Double-A Mississippi.
At the crossroads: Kolby Allard, LHP
It's just a fact of life that there are only so many spots in a Major League rotation. There's the crew of pitching prospects that pushed for those spots in 2018 and there are others, like Ian Anderson, Joey Wentz and Kyle Muller, who might not be far away. Someone inevitably will be left behind, either with a rotation spot or as trade bait, and it's possible that Allard will meet that fate.
The one-time top prospect was effective at Triple-A, where he posted a 2.72 ERA with 89 strikeouts over 112 1/3 innings. However, he got shellacked in three Major League appearances, including one start, to the tune of 11 earned runs in eight innings. He surrendered three homers and walked more batters (four) than he struck out (three). Those obviously come in a small-sample, but Allard's stuff (average fastball, above-average curve and change) haven't taken the jump necessary to muscle out the other arms around.
The 21-year-old left-hander has time, given his age, and special command on his side, but he'll need to show big-time growth to muscle his way past the current group of Major League/Triple-A arms and hold off those coming quickly.
"One thing you have to understand is good athletes have to see what they're up against," Chiti said. "If things are working and then all of a sudden they're not working, that gives the player or pitcher an opportunity to make adjustments in their game. I think Kolby will make those adjustments and he'll be fine."
Back and healthy: Patrick Weigel, RHP
June 18, 2017. That's the last time Weigel made a meaningful start in the Minor Leagues. He underwent Tommy John surgery shortly after and made four rehab appearances in the Gulf Coast League last August. The Braves also had their 19th-ranked prospect pitch in the instructional league and, after a full offseason to prepare and build up again, he enters the 2019 season with an eye on getting the Major League debut that eluded him before the injury.
"He's fine," Chiti said. "He's 21 months out. He's throwing with no restrictions. We'll probably still go slow with him just to get him built back up. The biggest thing to do with that has nothing to do with health. He just hasn't pitched in a competitive game in a while, so we'll go slow with that. But he's fine."
When healthy last fall, Weigel hit the upper-90s with his fastball, and his other offerings could be Major League average pitches. Chiti added that his stuff is better now than pre-surgery, and should that assessment hold up early this season, the 24-year-old right-hander could crack the Major League roster, especially if he sticks to the bullpen.
Breakout prospect: CJ Alexander, 3B
In a way, Alexander already has broken out. After two unproductive years at Ball State, he transferred to State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota and took off, hitting .405/.476/.785 with 15 homers last spring. The Braves took him in the 20th round, signed him for $125,000 and let him play at three levels over the summer, watching him master each one. Alexander batted .352/.429/.495 with 17 extra-base hits in 52 games in the Rookie-level GCL and with Rookie Advanced Danville and Class A Advanced Florida. Even at the highest of those affiliates, he was an above-average hitter as he produced a .325/.386/.450 line in the traditionally pitcher-friendly Florida State League.
The 22-year-old third baseman already could possess one of the better overall hit tools in the system and enters the season as the Braves' No. 23 prospect, despite his Draft status. A longer sample of success back at Class A Advanced or even at Double-A would send his stock soaring even higher.
"If you look at him amateur-wise, he hit there, so it's not a big surprise that he hit," Chiti said. "But he's got a really good swing, a really good approach and he loves to play. The ingredients are there to be a good player. He uses the whole field. He's got power to all fields. It wasn't a surprise to any of us."
More to keep an eye on: Ranked 38th overall, Austin Riley is right there with Pache for being the system's top position player, thanks to his hit and power tools. He could have been pushing for a Major League spot this spring, but the signing of Josh Donaldson put the kibosh on that for now. He prepared to play some outfield in the offseason and has seen time at first base this spring to give him options for a potential big league debut. ... Kyle Wright might be working his way into the rotation conversation in just his second pro spring. The Foltynewicz injury opens a spot and, with an improved delivery and four above-average to plus pitches, the No. 30 overall prospect has impressed in Grapefruit League play. All four of his Major League appearances last season came out of the bullpen, but he has the profile of at least a mid-rotation starter. ... Mike Soroka might have the heighest ceiling of any Braves pitching prospect due to his stellar control and three-pitch mix, and that helped him make his big league debut last May. However, he missed the second half of the season with a shoulder injury and an unrelated shoulder strain held him back this spring. He's back on his way to health, having thrown live batting practice this week, and will require close watching if and when he opens with Gwinnett. ... It's becoming increasingly clear that William Contreras is the Braves' catcher of the future. His biggest assets are on the defensive side, but his bat made enough of a jump at Class A Rome and Florida last season that he projects as a Major League starter. As everything rounds into place, he should be a Top-100 prospect by season's end.
2019 organization predictions:
Most home runs in the system: Braxton Davidson
Most stolen bases: Ray-Patrick Didder
Most strikeouts: Ian Anderson
Current prospect to get most Major League playing time: Touki Toussaint
Non-Top 100 prospect to end 2019 in the Top 100: William Contreras

Haxel Law secured another important victory for firefighter health this week.
A few months after winning a trial for a retired Springfield firefighter, Haxel Law has just successfully represented a current Springfield firefighter in another trial, this one awarding workers' compensation benefits for cancer. Just as in the prior hearing loss case, the most recent trial resulted in a finding that the firefighter's job was presumed to be a cause of his cancer. This ruling may make it easier for firefighters, paramedics and EMTs to obtain workers' compensation benefits for developing cancer.
Another Important Victory For Firefighters and EMTs
Haxel Law secured another important victory for firefighter health this week.
Workers' Compensation Benefits For Firefighters, Paramedics and EMTs
Firefighters, paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) face unique risks associated with their jobs. They are routinely exposed to loud noises when responding to emergencies. They render medical assistance to accident victims and periodically expose themselves to the bodily fluids of those victims as well as bacteria, viruses and diseases.
While helping others, EMS workers put themselves at risk
As an emergency medical service worker, you undoubtedly get great satisfaction from helping other individuals suffering from injuries or illnesses who need immediate attention. Often, your actions could allow those parties to receive life-saving treatment while on the way to the hospital. Though this type of profession may offer enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment, you could also face risks of injury yourself.
PTSD is an unseen stress factor for emergency workers
Emergency workers help people in crisis get the care they need quickly. When the job is done, victims of accidents and disasters are treated by a team of healthcare professionals in a hospital while the emergency workers return home. While most people see this routine as "just doing the job," emergency workers need help after traumatic events too.
Employers Have A Duty To Protect Workers From Weather-Related Threats
While all workplaces have their hazards, employees who work outdoors face unique weather-related threats. Everything from storms to heat can jeopardize worker safety. The Department of Labor has issued a reminder to employers of their duty to protect workers.

Well, the chickens are growing by leaps and bounds! Flo, the barred rock, is 2.5 weeks old, and the 3 golden comets are 1.5 weeks old. Flo is already getting huge! Barred rocks are large hens, weighing 7-8 pounds. Golden comets are only 5-6 pounds, so that probably accounts for the fact that Flo looks three times as large! We will be getting two more golden comet chicks tomorrow, and that will round out the flock to six. Hopefully the new babies will be as easily integrated with the older ones as the last set.
Flo has been trying to fly out of the box that they are currently housed in, so I will be making some changes today before the two new babies arrive. The box is currently in our big dog crate, so I'm going to pull the box out, and put the chicks straight into the crate. The crate is nice because it gives a really easy place to hang the brooding lamp (which keeps them warm). I will be putting up a wall of cardboard around the inside walls of the crate though to keep the mess down, and to prevent them from trying to push through. Also helps keep away drafts and keep it warm, of course.
Work on the coop begins this weekend! We have it all planned out, and the hubby just needs to figure out some more exact measurements so he knows how much wood to buy. It's going to be about a 4′ x 6′ coop with a 12′ x 6′ attached run. Roof over the entire thing for shade and to keep snow out of the run. The coop is going to be raised up 2 feet off the ground so there will be run space underneath as well. We need to figure out exactly how we are going to protect the bottom from predators. Some variation of hardware cloth, but we haven't figure out what exactly. I think maybe straight down into a trench to protect from digging predators. We are going to place it here in our cleared garden bed.
I need to make some important design decisions while the hubby works on the construction details…..like what color to paint it! That is going to be my job. You can see all my chicken coop inspiration on Pinterest.

Manchester City 1 (Christiansen 72) Arsenal 0
att: 3,697; at Wycombe Wanderers F.C.
A second half header from Issy Christiansen gave Manchester City their first ever major trophy and ended Arsenal's hopes of winning the Continental Cup for the fourth successive year.
In front of a good attendance at Adams Park, a scrappy match was settled by a good move and finish and was worthy of winning the game against a subdued Arsenal side which created little of note during the ninety minutes.
Arsenal did carve out the first chance with three minutes on the clock, Yukari Kinga winning possession in midfield and finding Danielle Carter who threaded a pass into the path of Jordan Nobbs to fire a shot just wide.
City had an escape when, under pressure from Shinobu Ohno, a poor clearance from Karen Bardsley went straight to Rachel Yankey but the experienced winger failed to hit the target.
Arsenal continued to dictate possession but chances were scarce at either end as defences dominated. City's first opportunity of note came on the half hour from a corner, Jill Scott attempting a snap shot on the turn but it flew harmlessly wide.
City then had an escape when they were caught flat footed from a throw and Carter got past a challenge from Emma Lipman but found the angle a little too tight and her shot was parried away by Bardsley at the near post.
Arsenal could well have taken the lead in first half injury time when Ohno chased down Nobbs' pass into the area and crossed to the far post but Yankey's first touch was uncharacteristically heavy and Bardsley was able to gather.
A disappointing first half ended with the scoreline goalless and things showed little sign of improving immediately after the restart. Krystle Johnston flashed a dangerous ball across the face of goal which Duggan could not reach but this was a rare glimpse on goal for either side in the opening twenty minutes.
The game burst into life with a powerfully struck free kick by Steph Houghton which was well saved by Emma Byrne and Kelly Smith also driving a set piece straight at Bardsley at the other end.
With eighteen minutes remaining, the stalemate was finally broken by the best move of the game. Scott spread the ball out wide to Johnston on the right, the winger whipping in a delightful cross for Christiansen who got inbetween two defenders before guiding her header past Byrne to put her side in front.
Arsenal tried to respond with a long range shot by Yankey which was comfortably held by Bardsley but City were growing in confidence and Toni Duggan, who had been kept quiet for most of the night, made a strong run towards goal but her shot lacked power and Byrne was able to save.
A Houghton free kick almost led to a second but her powerful strike was touched onto the bar by Byrne and Emma Mitchell did really well to charge down Natasha Flint's goalbound shot from the rebound.
Nobbs shot straight at Bardsley at the other end and Freda Ayisi dragged a shot wide but Arsenal could not get going and City's back four, with the impressive Keira Walsh in front of them, defended superbly to close the game out under late pressure.
Manchester City: Karen Bardsley, Nicki Harding, Georgia Brougham, Keira Walsh, Emma Lipman (sub Kathleen Radtke 62mins), Steph Houghton, Krystle Johnston, Jill Scott, Toni Duggan, Natasha Flint, Issy Christiansen. Subs not used: Alex Brooks, Chelsea Nightingale, Betsy Hassett, Emma Kete, Danielle Young.
Arsenal: Emma Byrne, Alex Scott, Emma Mitchell, Yukari Kinga (sub Kelly Smith 62mins), Casey Stoney, Niamh Fahey, Shinobu Ohno (sub Freda Ayisi 79mins), Jordan Nobbs, Danielle Carter, Leah Williamson, Rachel Yankey.

Goldblatt Singer Knows Power Tool Injury Cases
Extreme caution is necessary when you use power tools at home or on the job. Just as you must be vigilant, power tool manufacturers also have a solemn responsibility to design and produce safe, properly functioning products. Thousands of dangerous power tool accidents occur every year, many due to the improper design or manufacturing of the equipment itself.
Some of the ways you can be injured by power tools are:
- Cuts
- Burns
- Fires
- Debris in the eye
- Electric shock
Designers of power tools should anticipate the risks of using their products and eliminate every injury hazard possible. If your injury was in any way caused by bad design or manufacture of the equipment, you could be entitled to compensation from the tool company. It is crucial to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss and understand your legal rights.
Contact a Goldblatt Singer Attorney Today for a Free Case Evaluation
The attorneys at Goldblatt Singer understand the nuances of power tool accident cases. Our firm has been practicing personal injury law in St. Louis since 1949, and we've recovered more than $400 million on behalf of our clients.
