If you and your spouse are having an amicable split and neither of you has chosen to contest anything in the divorce petition, you might think an attorney is unnecessary. There are couples capable of a "no fuss" divorce, but representation from an experienced attorney is still important. The important thing each spouse should understand is that they are transitioning from a couple to an individual again, and as such, they must do whatever it takes to protect their individual interests. Even if you trust your soon-to-be-former spouse to not take advantage of you, strong legal representation is still a necessity.

Divorce is a difficult process for any couple, but when there are snags along the way things are even rougher. Working with an attorney can help you prevent problems and make it easier to work through them when they do arise. What problems might you encounter during the divorce process?
The concept of no-fault divorce has made it easier for couples to end their marriage. Prior to the existence of no-fault divorce laws, a person was required to prove his or her spouse had done something to cause the breakdown of the marriage. Actions such as abuse, adultery, confinement, lack of intimacy, or abandonment were required to establish grounds for divorce or a court would not permit the couple to divorce.
Divorce is difficult for everyone in a family, but it is especially tough for children. As a parent, you want to protect your child from the uglier side of your divorce, but you also want to help him or her understand and feel better about the transition their family is going through. What should you tell your child about your divorce?
Separating from your spouse and getting a divorce are two different things. Divorce is a legal end to the marriage, whereas separation can occur for just a few days or weeks, and then a couple can reunite as if nothing ever happened. In this latter case, the law is not involved. However, there is an in-between option that allows for legal governance of a couple's separation without ending the marriage. This is usually referred to as a legal separation.

Belarusian TV Insults Polish People and Authorities
On 2 April the Polish Embassy in Belarus made a statement regarding the broadcast of "Human Rights – A Glance at the World" show by the Belarusian National TV channel. "The Belarusian state TV has put in the mouth of its notorious propagandist Yawhen Novikaw ... an insult to Polish people and authorities having called the Republic of Poland, Belarus' closest neighbor, a "puppet state", -- claim the diplomats.
The statement stresses, the TV show was broadcasted "the day Belarusian prime-minister Siarhei Sidorski was receiving the Polish Ambassador, and the same TV channel presented it as the political event of the day". The Polish Embassy reminds, that "Poland is a country with democratically-elected authorities, it is a long-standing full member of the Council of Europe, and a country where residents of even the smallest towns and villages have direct and exclusive impact on their local representatives and decision-making on their behalf. Eventually, Poland is a country implementing independent foreign policy". The declarants believe, presenting Poland as a ?#152;' puppet state" is nothing but slander.
"A puppet figure is certainly the journalist who seems to perform a political order of the circles interested in falling off in cooperation between Poland and Belarus''. ?#152;'From the standpoint of these events we consider Mr. Novikaw not only as an instigator of hostility towards Polish people, but also as a provocateur acting directly against the policy of the Belarusian authorities who are trying to improve the climate of our bilateral relations". The Polish Embassy hopes that "scandalous statements of that kind will never be aired by Belarusian state TV", reports BAJ press service.

William Blake
William Blake (1757-1827) was a British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. The best-known are the lyrical Songs of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794) and his comments on established religion, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell and The Everlasting Gospel. His best-known work is the opening lines to his poem Milton, which were set to music by Parry, ironically titled "Jerusalem," and is one of the most popular English hymns. He illuminated his self-published writings, illustrated Dante and Chaucer, and painted singular oils such as The Ghost of a Flea. [1]
He also wrote and illustrated several long epic poems of his own invented mythology. These are some of the most strikingly original works in English literature and art. His work was so different from that of most poets of his time that it was mainly ignored during his lifetime.
Blake belonged to no particular poetic movement, but is now often felt to be one of the earliest and greatest figures of the Romantic movement which flourished in the first half of the nineteenth century. He proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th century. He joined for a time the Swedenborgian Church of the New Jerusalem in London and considered Newtonian science to be a limitation on the human imagination. Misunderstanding shadowed his career as a writer and artist and it was left to later generations to recognize his importance. William Blake is far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced. The Guardian, UK. Ibidem
The imaginative character of his designs is the source of the deepest interest of his work; but the mere student of the art of engraving will find in his best plates, such as the Illustrations of the Book of Job, examples of technical skill, and of fine drawing, which prove not only admirable training of hand and eye, but give evidence of the integrity of his moral nature. The stroke of his graver is both vigorous and tender: it is always sure and steady, however delicate. Fanciful as his conceptions may be, they are rendered with a distinctness that leaves no question of the clearness of the vision from which they proceeded, or of his power to express them with definite outline. [2]
Blake was sometimes called mad because of his unusual views on religion and morality, and because he claimed that his work was inspired by visions. He lived in near-poverty most of his life, and when he died he was buried in a common grave.

Trains will get you a very, very long way, and to most of the country – but sometimes there's more to see further from the tracks. If you can drive, car hire in Japan isn't hugely expensive: a tiny kei-car, like the one pictured above, will normally run to around 5,000 yen for a day. You'll need the right license, though, and booking one can be tricky – here's how to do it. Also below you'll find information on what to do if you crash a rental car, and how to negotiate expressways and tolls.
Getting a License
If you're a UK or US citizen then your driving license alone is not sufficient to either rent a car or drive it. As well as carrying your license, you'll need to obtain an International Driving Permit (1949 version). Don't try to bluff it without one; the international permit will be instantly recognised but a EU-style license is not.
If you're in the UK, International Driving Permits can be obtained from the AA, or from a handful of post offices – including Charing Cross, London. In the USA, you can obtain one from the AAA.
Renting a Car
When it comes to renting cars, the web will be mostly useless: unless you have a Japanese address and you're absolutely fluent in the language, the websites of the major Japanese rental companies are of no use. What's more, many list 'branches' that have no cars unless you've pre-booked – you need to phone ahead, and well in advance (the day before, in my experience, won't work).
If you want a car for a day or two, I've had much more luck with the rental shops operated by car manufacturers (Toyota Rental, in particular), which tend to be slightly out of town but have a car-park full of vehicles ready to go. Toyota Rental lots tend to have a stock of cars on the forecourt, and they've always been happy to rent to a foreigner with shaky Japanese. I've also used local, independent rental shops – on Sakurajima, for example, which cost around the same amount.
For longer term rental, or if you need to book ahead, then Nippon Rent-A-Car offers an online booking service in English. You complete a form, stating what dates you want and what kind of vehicle, and they email back with a quote. You'll find it here.
Hitting the Road
Japan, like the UK, uses a drive-on-the-left system. Almost all cars are automatic, and the speed limits are slow. If you can drive in Europe or the US, it's easy.
Most rental cars in Japan have a powerful satellite navigation system, but these can be really hard to use unless either 1) your kanji reading skills are great, or 2) you can switch it into English. I've found that the Toyota Vitz tends to be the smallest, cheapest car with an English-language option. If you're renting a kei-car, look for an icon with a phone: tap this, then tap in the phone number of your destination.
And speaking of language issues, it's worth noting that a bit of Japanese goes a long way when renting cars. You could probably do it via sign language and luck alone, but a basic 'いくらですか' level of communication makes it pretty easy.
Hitting Other Stuff
One of the occupational hazards of driving a car is that you might, if you're unlucky, crash it. In case you're unlucky enough to experience this in Japan – as I have, once – here are some tips.
1) Know how much you're in for. When you rent a car abroad, it's worth taking the maximum possible damage waiver to limit your personal liability. Check your documents to ensure this is included. Even with a full waiver, though, some Japanese rentals have a Non Operation Charge (NOC) – essentially, a lump sum you owe if you damage the car to the extent that they have to repair it. There might be two levels of this: one for a car that's damaged but drivable, and a higher one of they have to tow it away.
2) Be prepared for bureaucracy. In the UK or USA, if you hit an object with your car but nobody was hurt and no other property was damaged, you could just curse and drive away. In Japan, you'll need to report it to the police so they can file a report (a "jikou shoumeishi"). This could take hours. You'll also need to report it to the rental company.
3) With that in mind, if at all possible, enlist the help of a fluent or native speaker. The questions you'll be asked by the police will be many, baffling and (on occasion) downright stupid. It's worth having someone on your side who can help you fend them off. If you're in the countryside, you may be the first foreign license holder the police have ever encountered, so there's a lot of explaining to do and they will take notes of absolutely everything.
If this sounds like a pain in the backside, that's because it is. But it's manageable. At the end of the day, as long as nobody's hurt and you do all the necessary reporting, you should be able to drop off the car, pay the required NOC fee and walk away without any real trouble.
Expressways and Tolls
If you're driving long-distance, you might want to take advantage of Japan's faster Expressway routes. These have slightly higher speed limits, and more importantly no traffic lights or stop junctions, so you can make good time even when they are only one lane. However, be aware that expressway travel can be really expensive.
Most Japanese drivers will use an automatic card system ("ETC") to pay tolls, but as a foreigner that's not available – the box on your rental car dashboard will happily chirp away warning you of this, but do nothing else. Instead, when joining or exiting an expressway at a tollbooth, look for the lane marked green.
On entering, take a ticket from the machine and drive on. On exiting you'll give that ticket to a member of staff (or very occasionally a machine) and be asked to pay the fee – in most cases, but not all, credit cards are accepted. Expect to pay a couple of thousand yen for a decent stretch of driving – your car's navigation system may well keep track of fees for you.

Just returned from presenting the beta version of a new workshop called "Engagement Lab" to council staff in the Hunter region (thank you Hunter Councils!).
It's about reinventing community consultation, an activity that councils do frequently – for practically every plan, service, strategy and piece of infrastructure they are responsible for.
But there's something wrong with the standard Community Engagement Template. It doesn't account for a radical split in community psychology between two different classes of proposals which put the intended participants in very different head spaces.
EITHER they feel threatened and furious about an issue. In that case you don't have any problem getting their attention and they often turn up in droves just to vent about what a rotten council you are.
OR people are disconnected and bored about the issue. In that case motivation is low or non-existent and virtually NO ONE participates because the issue doesn't engage them.
And, usually, it's an extreme of one of these cases.
If you've done something to make people angry, standard community engagement won't help you. Instead you (and your councilors and executives) need to get skilled up in Issues Management (Google anything by Peter Sandman).
On the other hand, if you're continually talking to the same handful of usual suspects with time of their hands who enjoy this type of thing or have an axe to grind, then you need to innovate your practice.
So, I thought, why not mash innovation training with community engagement training?
Like all first outings, I had a lot to learn.
First, there are a surprising number of innovations out there. I readily Googled up a fantastic slideshow of existing council innovations from Australian and overseas. Melbourne City Council's Yellow Caravan; Shire of Yarra Ranges Cultural Roadshow; Adelaide City's Parking Day; even little Singleton Council's cosy Wood Smoke Chat Room, not to mention increasing use of all sorts of online tools and social media.
The single most impressive was Wyndham City's humbly-entitled Listening Post, which is in fact a richly devised pop-up council designed for 'listening' on many levels. Check their video.
Next we chose some real life projects to work on and laid down a solid groundwork with three rapid versions of IAP2-style planning tools.
Then came the main course: innovation! Which, of course, happens best when teams have innovation processes ready to go in their back pockets.
The rest the day was immersed in innovation processes. These were fun because joy and creativity are inseparable.
The result was a wonderful collection of buzzworthy ways to make it simple, make it fun, go to where people are, make it a game, make it social, and add food.
What I was delighted by was how much staff enjoyed these practices and dived into the creative space. Even the knotty "I only have 20 minutes at the end of an internal workshop to 'consult' with people" had a creative solution (which involved Monopoly money).
So that's the first vital skill: having innovation processes ready to go, and actually using them with one's team.
Here are some comments from participants in that first workshop:
"It has given me my spark back!"
"Inspired and brimming with ideas."
"It not only helps be creative but legitimises being creative."
"Reminded me that fun and creativity go hand in hand."
So far so good. Then came an uncomfortable surprise. There's a problem with innovation in pyramidal organisations: fear of being blocked by management. Participants told me (more or less) "This is cool, but how can I get it past management?"
So there's the second vital skill: navigating management.
Or, to put it differently: "How can management's fears be lowered so they'll feel comfortable placing bets on new ideas?" So, interestingly, we are straight back to Changeology 101!
So now the next iteration of Engagement Lab will pivot mid-afternoon into workshopping that question – which, essentially, involves anticipating management's specific fears, addressing them by design, and assembling a well conceived "perfect pitch".
So now I'm post-beta and ready to for public launch. Here are the details of the first open Engagement Lab workshops:
MELBOURNE: 7 July 2016
Venue: Queen Victoria Womens Centre, 210 Lonsdale St, Melbourne
SYDNEY: 14 July 2016
Venue: The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability, 2 Balls Head Rd, Waverton

VANDALS are attacking gifts left outside a charity shop.
Kind-hearted people leave items outside the PDSA shop on Commercial Street in Brighouse, but vandals constantly target the goods.
Now, people have been urged to take donations to the shop during opening hours rather than leave them outside.
Shop manager Jo Westwood said: "Supporters are generously leaving donations outside the shop at night and during weekends.
"Unfortunately these bags are being opened and the items ruined. Can I please urge all supporters to donate during opening hours only?"
The shop also urgently needs volunteer helpers.
Jo added: "To ensure the successful running of the shop I am appealing for volunteers to join our team.
"If you can spare one or two mornings or afternoons each week, then please get in touch."
Volunteers are needed from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm.
No retail experience is necessary as full training is provided.
The shop relies on gifts from the public, such as clothing, bric-a-brac, books, toys and CDs.
For more details, phone the PDSA National Volunteering Centre on freephone 0800 854194.
The Brighouse shop helps to pay for the PDSA PetAid medical unit at 5 Greenhead Road in Huddersfield.

The 4th annual symposium of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, entitled "SRS/SBRT challenges compared to traditional radiotherapy" took place on October 20-21, 2016 in the premises of the Chamber of Commerce in Rome.
This year's symposium focused on the challenges of intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in terms of doses, volumes, re-treatment, and interactions with other therapies. The event welcomed a total of 130 participants including radiation oncologists, physicists, radiotherapy technicians and nurses, allied health professionals, medical oncologists, neurosurgeons, and researchers. Event participants came from several countries including Italy, US, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Australia, and Romania. The symposium is an extraordinary opportunity to further disseminate knowledge on these advanced techniques for the care of cancer patients in Europe and around the world.
Radiotherapy today plays a crucial role in the treatment of a growing number of oncology diseases, and offers state-of-the-art therapeutic solutions for various neoplastic pathologies such as those affecting the lung, liver, prostate, and brain. The event was organized with the collaboration of UPMC San Pietro FBF Advanced Radiotherapy Center, part of UPMC's oncology network.
UPMC San Pietro FBF Advanced Radiotherapy Center was one of the first centers in the Region of Lazio to offer innovative SRS and SBRT treatments using the TrueBeam™ STx, a latest generation linear accelerator delivering high doses of radiation more rapidly and with more precision compared to the most common accelerators, thus reducing the duration of therapy and limiting the side effects. All treatments performed at UPMC San Pietro FBF follow protocols and guidelines based on efficacy data collected and studied at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute and within UPMC's oncology network. The event, endorsed by the European SocieTy for Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO), AIRO, AIFM, AAMP, was streamed on the Youtube channel of UPMC Italy.

When the markets spook investors, one of the first flights to safety is gold. It's the woobie blanket of investing. The gold rush has the metal breaking new thresholds almost on a daily basis. The color of fear in the markets is often associated with red. But I think the glistening, glitter of gold should also be part of the bearish ensemble. I asked Thomas Patton, CEO of the small-cap gold mining company Quaterra Resources Inc. , about his outlook on the gold rush as well as the company's recent gold discovery.
LL: How exciting is this latest gold discovery?
TP: The first three holes of the 2011 drilling campaign at Herbert Glacier all intersected visible gold: the results from two of them, holes 11E-1 and 11E-2, are outstanding. One hole intercepted 15.3 meters of 1.08 ounces of gold per ton. Within that was an two-meter true-width intercept of 3.8 ounces per ton, which is a lot of gold.
(Hole 11E-2 from 147.07 meters to 150.83 meters). Importantly, the intercepts have significant width. And the gold-bearing veins have significant strike or length, and depth.
Certainly, the project is in the right part of the world, the historic Juneau Gold Belt in Alaska, which is formerly a world-class district that has produced more than seven million ounces of gold. In 2010, the district was reactivated by the reopening of Couer Alaska's Kensington gold mine located 40 kilometers north of the Herbert Glacier property.
In addition, Hecla Mining Company's polymetallic Greens Creek Mine, a massive sulfide deposit containing silver, gold and zinc, is located in a parallel trend 20 kilometers to the west. Our partner at Herbert Glacier, Grande Portage Resources Ltd., will be conducting more drilling along the Deep Trench and Main Vein which will be key to figuring out just how extensive the mineralization is.
LL: Where do you see the price of gold by the end of the year?
TP: As a matter of principal I do not give a specific target price but I believe gold prices will be strong as the dollar weakens and investors look for safe havens. In many ways, the price of gold is being driven by fundamentals, not just current market sentiment. Gold grades at mines around the world are declining. Also, the mines are getting deeper and more expensive to operate. Significant new production takes years to bring on stream. This is coupled with increased demand because of gold's growing role as a reserve currency.
Two years ago, the gold price dropped sharply as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. I am not sure that will happen again, especially as the roots of the current turmoil center on uncertainty surrounding the dollar and its role as a global currency. You have to ask this question: what are the alternatives to the dollar? And gold figures prominently in any answer. I would be bullish about the gold price in those circumstances.
LL: What kind of impact would a third round of quantitative easing have on gold?
TP: A third round of quantitative will probably raise questions about the stability of the dollar. And that should be good for gold as investors seek safety. There is a growing concern about the value of paper money, and this will only be exacerbated by dollar creation inherent in quantitative easing. The strong correlation between the debt ceiling and the price of gold is instructive in this regard.
LL: Silver prices are also being pushed higher because of the sovereign uncertainty. Where do you see silver going?
TP: Interestingly, silver has outperformed just about every asset class over the past few years. It has certainly outperformed gold and its price relative to gold is approaching more historic levels. I see that Eric Sprott has recently called silver the investment opportunity of the decade. I would pay attention to what Eric says.
LL: Copper is very popular with the emerging countries. Will copper prices get even stronger?
TP: In the short term the price of copper will turn on the level of economic activity in emerging countries, and China in particular.
Recently the price has softened in expectation of slower global growth. But in the medium to long term, it is important to understand that the demand for copper will bump against supply. As with gold, operating copper mines are getting long in the tooth, with grades dropping and the cost of mining rising. And new supply will take a long time to bring to the market. Provided that there is the economic where-with-all to raise the quality of life of hundreds of million of people in the emerging world, the price of copper will remain buoyant.
LL: What kind of extractive natural resource policy and exploration policies do you think need to be enacted in the United States in regards to critical metals? What kind of opportunity would that create for your company?
TP: Rising metal prices and surging resource nationalism underscore the need for a coherent and rational natural resource policy in the United States. The future availability of critical metals will be dependent on successful grassroots exploration, but current Federal regulations have forced much of this work offshore. Access to public land is absolutely critical for a revitalized mining industry.
This will necessitate a return to the concept of multiple-use and doing away with de facto wilderness areas created by punitive roadless policies and long-running studies that preclude meaningful exploration in certain areas.
The concurrent overhaul of the regulatory environment to simplify rules and provide for timely and cost effective permitting could return the United States to its former status as a preferred country in which to explore and mine.
LL: What do you think is happening when it comes to resource nationalism in the rest of the world?
TP: Many countries are increasingly viewing mineral resource deposits as strategic assets. And in a growing number of countries the acquisition and development of these resources is being coordinated and funded by semi state-run agencies. This is a return to the way the world was run in previous centuries. It is possible that some mineral deposits will be taken, so to speak, out of the market. This growing resource nationalism will only make mineral discoveries in North America more valuable with time.

The key to a successful cross-examination is to start strong. The beginning of your cross is the time to go for the jugular. Here's an example of how it's done.
Question by defense counsel: Agent Wooster, the United States government spent over $1 million on this case, from the time of investigation until now, correct?
Answer by witness: How would I know that?
Question by defense counsel: You might know it because you were told so by your supervisor; you might know it because you filled out expense reports; you might know it because you reviewed the expenses log kept during the investigation. So I will ask you the question again: The United States government spent over $1 million on this case, from the start of investigation until today, didn't it?
At this point, the prosecutor will likely object, saying: "Objection. What the government spent or did not spend has nothing to do with the crime charged in this case."
That's when defense counsel goes on with force: "It certainly does, Your Honor. If the prosecution has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in investigating this case, they may be tempted to cut corners to get a conviction, creating bias."
To which the judge will hopefully say, "Objection overruled."
This examination starts strongly. The examiner opens with a topic that interests the ordinary juror, i.e., possible squandering of government money. The objection gives the cross-examiner a chance to preview his closing argument in part.
Note that the cross-examiner didn't complain when the witness asked him a question. Don't dilute the impact of your point with quibbling over details and collateral matters. The witness' question actually gave the examiner an excellent chance to make a point before repeating the original question.
Always keep in mind that, on cross-examination it's the attorney, not the witness, who should be the focal point.

Icelandic folktales as well as paintings by Gudni Hardarson are presented in this book. The paintings are all inspired by twenty selected folktales.
As Þorvaldur Gylfason writes in the foreword, the folktale pictures of Gudni Hardarson are works of art that belong in the public domain, works that shed new light on the folktales and elevate them.
It is hoped that these pictures will attract new readers at home and abroad to the heritage of icelandic folktales and their part in the nation´s history.

For months, we have pored over every screenshot, every glimpse of footage, and every toy package relating to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But did we miss the Kurt Vonnegut shout-out? Or are we just seeing things?
Earlier today, we were discussing great books that defy genre categories, including Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. So we were obliged by law to post a picture of Kurt Vonnegut's anus, as sketched by Vonnegut himself:
And then commenter lightninglouie reminded us where we'd seen that image recently, saying, "Hey, whaddaya know?"
Could this be the secret meaning behind the First Order? Are the villains of the new movie actually motivated by an obsession with Kurt Vonnegut's unmentionable regions? Do we finally know the real origins of Supreme Leader Snoke? It all makes sense now! (Or maybe it doesn't. We'll take either answer, really.)

The parish of Scampton is in two parts:
- The Village - situated approximately 6 miles north of Lincoln on the B1398 road that runs from Lincoln to Scunthorpe. In the village there are 85 homes and a population of approximatley 180.
- The RAF Base - at the top of the cliff edge at the side of the A15 road. The Base is home to both civilian and RAF personal. On the base there are 400 homes with approximately 600 residents.
Scampton is the fourth of the Springline villages that sit on the Lincolnshire Edge, a lime stone fault which runs from Grantham to the Humber.
The old Scampton Hall was knocked down many years ago but one archway has survived. It is now in the garden of a privately owned house and can be viewed with permission of the owner. The Church of St John the Baptist is mainly 18th century but parts date back to the 17th century. In the graveyard there are war graves of both British and German service men.
The RAF Base was first formed in November 1916 under the name of Brattleby and changed to RAF Scampton in 1917. In 1920 it closed until 1930, when it was rebuilt and played a large roll in the Second World War as a Bomber Command Base and the home of the Dambusters. The Base closed once again in 1956 and underwent an expansion program, after which it became home to the Vulcan Bombers until the eighties. In 1995 the Station was reduced to care and maintenance and sections of the housing were sold to civilians. In 2000 the Station once again became operational and is currently home to the Red Arrows Aerobatic Team.
There is a RAF Scampton Historical Museum on the base. This can be visited by prior appointment by contacting Mervyn Hallam, either by E-mail at email@example.com or telephone 01522 879137 or OC RAF Scampton Museum, Squ Ldr R Heath tel: 01522 733148. (There is more information available on http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafscampton and for the Red Arrows go to http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds or their official fan club at http://www.redarrows.com.)

U.S. Senate candidate Wil Cardon apparently didn't get the message when ousted state Senate President Russell Pearce got a voter-assisted boot from office last week.
Pearce's historic downfall -- combined with a recent poll showing that the vast majority of Arizonans support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants -- seems to suggest that Arizonans are warming up to a more moderate approach to handling the illegal immigration problem.
Not Cardon, though -- who's running for the Senate seat getting vacated by retiring Senator Jon Kyl -- he supports the same down on brown immigration policies that got Pearce kicked to the curb.
"Unlike Barack Obama -- and my opponent [in the GOP Senate primary] Jeff Flake -- I oppose amnesty and I will not reward those who break the law," Cardon told supporters at a campaign event at his Phoenix headquarters this morning.
As for the poll, released last week by Arizona State University's Morrison Institute for Public Policy (more on that here), Cardon isn't surprised that 78 percent of Arizonans support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants -- but that's not gonna stop him from vehemently opposing any type of amnesty.
"That poll doesn't surprise me at all," Cardon tells New Times. "That's what we all want, is to help people out -- but helping people out by letting people break the law and get ahead of others who haven't is not the solution."
According to Cardon, he's a compassionate guy, but when it comes to illegal immigration, "If you don't take care of the problems first that are causing the problems behind it, you don't solve anything. As a result we have to first enforce the laws we have here and secure the border and control who's coming back and forth."
Opposing Cardon in the GOP Senate primary is Congressman Jeff Flake -- and Cardon already is on the attack (which is interesting considering Cardon served on Flake's finance committee for his Senate campaign until he decided to run for Kyl's seat himself).
"Until he flip-flopped, my opponent Jeff Flake spent 10 years as the leading advocate in Washington for amnesty," Cardon says. "He worked hand-in-hand with the Washington liberals. Together they have refused to respond to America's most pressing need: securing our border."
As Flake was working "hand-in-hand with the Washington liberals," and acting as "the leading advocate in Washington for amnesty," Cardon admits he was dumping money into Flake's re-election campaigns. Additionally, Cardon also dropped some coin to get Senator John McCain re-elected -- even as McCain supported plans for comprehensive immigration reform.

"I gave money to [McCain and Flake] in the past," Cardon explains. "No one agrees with every politician 100 percent of the time. As a result, I thought they were doing what was right back then -- when people start making different decisions, I change my opinion."
And that's the part that's so perplexing.
As Cardon says, "when people start making different decisions," he changes his opinion. For example, when Flake flaked on his support of amnesty -- and supported immigration policies similar to Cardon's -- that's when Cardon changed his opinion and decided he no longer supported Flake.
In other words, Cardon supported Flake until Flake started agreeing with him.

What started with simple dry rot repairs to the primary stairways turned into a complete rebuild of both stairway supports.
Over the next four months we were contracted to make siding repairs, water proof walkways, a new roof, drainage repairs, and complete exterior paint on both building structures. The entire project was permitted through the City of Lake Oswego.

Wendy Williams' Estranged Husband Officially Out As Producer Of Her Show
By Peyton Blakemore
April 18, 2019
Wendy Williams' estranged husband, Kevin Hunter, is no longer an executive producer on the Wendy Williams Show.
A spokesperson for the talk show told Page Six on Thursday (April 18), "Kevin Hunter [who had been a part of the show since its launch in 2008] is no longer an Executive Producer on the Wendy Williams Show," said the rep in a statement. "Debmar-Mercury [the company who produces the talk show] wishes him well in his future endeavors."
Prior to his departure, Wendy reportedly hired extra security on-set to ensure her safety while she and Kevin worked out an agreement for his departure from the show. As fans know, Kevin's ousting comes amid his and Wendy's divorce.
The 54-year-old talk show host filed for divorce just last week — a decision that was reportedly sparked by Kevin's alleged longtime mistress having his child last month.
Kevin issued Wendy an apology for his alleged infidelity, breaking his silence on their divorce, on Tuesday (April 16). "28 years ago I met an amazing woman: Wendy Williams. At the time, I didn't realize that she would not only become my wife, but would also change the face of entertainment and the world," the statement began. "I have dedicated most of our lives to the business empire that is Wendy Williams Hunter, a person that I truly love and respect unconditionally."
Seemingly addressing reports that his alleged longtime-mistress gave birth to his child last month, Kevin continued, "I am not proud of my recent actions and take full accountability and apologize to my wife, my family and her amazing fans. I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs."
"No matter what the outcome is or what the future holds, we are still The Hunter Family and I will continue to work with and fully support my wife in this business and through any and all obstacles she may face living her new life of sobriety, while I also work on mine. I ask that you please give me and my family privacy as we heal. Thank you," the statement concluded.
In the days since her divorce filing, Wendy has talked of her plans of a "new life" with her son, rekindling old friendships, and focusing on her sobriety.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
7. Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Online city guide Yelp is to create 100 jobs at its new European headquarters in Ireland, it has announced.
The company said it is hiring sales executives, account managers, product engineers and finance staff as part of the expansion.
Jeremy Stoppelman, co-founder and CEO at Yelp, described the opening of the HQ in Dublin as a landmark for the firm.
"This new office will be home to our European operations and will be the engine behind our European revenue generation efforts," he said.
"Ireland offers us fantastic access to multiple language capabilities from a tech-savvy and educated population, not to mention a country that has proven to be a home-away-from-home for a number of existing Yelp employees that have already relocated there."
Yelp is the latest in a number of high profile Silicon Valley technology companies to locate European headquarters in Dublin, including Google, Facebook and Twitter.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny, on a trip to California, described Silicon Valley as vitally important to Ireland's recovery.
"My visit here this week is all about cementing and reinforcing existing investor relationships as well as building new connections with a view to securing new jobs and investment for Ireland," he said.

On Sunday, September 7, 2014, Westword will host its twentieth annual celebration of the Denver dining scene, DISH, in Sculpture Park at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, where many of the favorite restaurants of Cafe Society writers and readers will be serving delectable dishes. Like Frijoles Colorado Cuban Cafe, the little restaurant in Lakewood with serious Cuban cred. Owner Sergio Negrin brings his pork plate out for special occasions -- and DISH will be one of them.

Lechon, moros y maduros is the name of the dish -- roasted marinated pork, rice and beans cooked in sofrito, and sweet plaintains. "Lechon is our signature pork, roasted in our signature mojo marinade," Negrin says. "Everything is natural, no shortcuts. The pork is roasted for nine hours in the mojo marinade, invented by Ana's dad [father of Negrin's mother-in-law] in 1970, patented and incredibly delicious."
It's Frijoles's hallmark plate, normally served with yuca -- the plantains keep better, that way. "Whenever there is a special event, i.e. graduation, birthday bash, birth of a child etc., this is usually the dish served! So we are not only introducing Cuban cuisine, we are also sharing our Cuban culture," Negrin says.
