Here there is a clear and double echo from the word of Truth. We hear the voice of Solomon crying "Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child";' and the warning declaration of S. James, who associates envying and strife with ruin and confusion. Again ; Let them obey that know not how to rule.
King Henry VI., Part II., v. 1. The grand duty inculcated both by the Apostle S. Paul and by Shakspere is submission to Authority. " Order is Heaven's first law," a law by which "some are and must be greater than the rest." 2
Let us hear how Shakspere carries out this thought.
When that the general is not like the live,

Troilus and Cressida, i. 3. According to the Apostolic rule, all things should be done " decently,"li.e. fittingly "and in order," and that they may be done " decently," they must be done " in order." The " many members"2 are to act together with a single eye to the welfare and prosperity of the "one body." This unity of action is indispensably requisite, both in the body spiritual and in the body politic.
Livy, the Roman Historian, has handed down to us an Apologue which was spoken by Menenius Agrippa to the popular seceders. This Apologue Shakspere has given us in his " Coriolanus." "In those days," says the Historian, 66 when all was not at unity, as now, in man, but every member had its own plans and its own language, the other members became quite indignant that they should all toil and labour for the belly, while it remained at its ease in the midst of them, doing nothing, but enjoying itself. They therefore agreed among themselves, that the hands should not convey any food to the mouth, nor the mouth receive it, nor the teeth chew it. But while they thus thought to starve the belly out, they found themselves and the whole body reduced to the most deplorable state of feebleness, and they then saw that the belly is by no means useless ;

3 Hist. Lib., II. cap. xxxii.
that it gives as well as receives nourishment, distributing to all parts of the body the means of life and health."
The moral of the story is so good and scriptural, and the strain in which Shakspere gives it so lively and humorous, that I shall be pardoned for quoting the entire passage. The speakers are Menenius and a discontented citizen. Menenius.
I shall tell you
Men. There was a time, when all the body's members
Cit. Well, sir, what answer made the belly ?
Men. Sir, I shall tell you.-With a kind of smile,
Cit. Your belly's answer? what!
What then?-
Cit. Should by the cormorant belly be restrain'd
Well what then?
I will tell you,
Cit. Y'are long about it.
Note me this, good frieud,
Cit. Ay sir ; well; well.
" Tho' all at once cannot
Coriolanus, i, 1.
Menenius then proceeds to apply the Apologue to the case of the senators, and of the mutinous members of the Roman state ; and to show that there was no benefit which the latter received, but it was derived to them from the higher Powers, whom they foolishly imagined to be living in a state of idle inaction and profitless enjoyment.
Connected with the Moral Teaching of the Divine Founder of our Religion, there is a striking peculiarity, which proves at once his immeasurable superiority over all the moral teachers, whether Jewish or Pagan, who had preceded Him. The nature of man is fallen and depravedever averse from good, and continually lusting after evil. If then we would live unaffected by the turbulent disorders, which follow upon sensual indulgence, our natural propensities must be subjected to timely and proper regulation. But where is the check to be placed? Is the heart of man free to run riot among the extravagancies of unchaste
desires, provided only that no overt act of sin is admitted, no outward act of guilt allowed to obtain the dominion over us? Our Blessed Lord meets the difficulty, and places the check, where alone it should be placed, on the heart ;1 He (for He knows what is in man) nips sin in the bud ;' He lays the axe to the very root of the tree. With Him heart-purity is everything. To make the fruit good, He aims at first making good the tree. He follows the polluted and bitter stream up to its very source, and there throws in the salt of Divine Grace, and straightway the waters are purified and sweetened. " All things are naked and opened unto the eyes" 4 of the Great Searcher, who discerns the thoughts and intents of the human heart. He it is who knoweth our downsitting, and our uprising, and understandeth our thoughts afar off.5
" Between the acting of a dreadful thing and the first motion" (I am quoting from our Poet) "all the interim "6 is known to Him. Sin has its source and origin in the thoughts, and if unchecked there, will gradually and almost imperceptibly, attain to its full growth, and develope itself in violent and unrestrained action.
Great floods have flown
Lust, when it hath conceived bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.7

Hundreds jump from RAAF jet for Legacy
HUNDREDS of skydivers took up the thrill of plunging from a Royal Australian Air Force jet over the Somerset region at the weekend.
The RAAF joined civilian community organisations to conduct the series of skydiving missions to showcase opportunities for women in aviation while also raising more than $22,000 for Legacy, which supports families suffering after the injury or death of a spouse or parent, during or after their defence force service
On Saturday, the C-17A Globemaster delivered about 200 skydivers to the Skydive Ramblers Toogoolawah Drop Zone, with skydivers donating money to Legacy for the opportunity to participate in the jump.
Group Captain Adam Williams, Officer Commanding for the RAAF's No. 86 Wing, said the events were a joint effort by the defence force and the Australian Parachuting Federation.
"It's rare for members of the public to have an opportunity like these skydiving events, which have capitalised on the C-17A's impressive airlift capability," Group Captain Williams said.
"The aircrew involved with these events love the opportunity to showcase their aircraft to a new crowd, with this experience being very similar to the routine training that they would ordinarily conduct for military jumpers.
"The C-17A is a very recognisable sight within south Queensland, but the nature of our work means we rarely get to engage with our wider communities like this. This is our second year partnering with the skydiving community to support Legacy with a C-17A event and it's allowed us to raise money in support of its charity work."
Earlier in the week, a C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft delivered about 100 skydivers to RAAF Base Amberley in support of the Women in Adventure Sport initiative.
"Supporting the Women in Adventure Sports program has allowed us to showcase the opportunities available to women in aviation," Group Captain Williams said.
The air force operates a fleet of eight C-17A Globemasters from RAAF Base Amberley in Brisbane's west. With a payload of up to 70 tonnes, the C-17A is capable of flying strategic missions across continents as well as tactical airlift missions to airdrop cargo and paratroops.
In the past year, the C-17A has flown airdrop missions to Antarctica, delivered aid relief to Vanuatu and sustained deployed forces in the Middle East.

Recognizing and Treating a Child's Misaligned Jaw
What is a misaligned jaw (malocclusion)?
When a child has malocclusion, his or her upper and lower teeth do not come together correctly upon closing the mouth. For example, if a child's upper teeth stick out farther than his or her lower teeth do, this is referred to as an 'overbite.' When the lower teeth jut out ahead of the upper, this is called an 'underbite.'
What are the symptoms of a misaligned jaw?
The symptoms of malocclusion can vary, with some being complex. The impact these symptoms have on a child are physical, but, due to the way this condition affects so many areas of a child's life, they are also emotional. Although problems vary from one child to the next and depend on how severe the condition is, experts have identified three issues that most children with this condition face.These 3 issues include:
- Abnormal breathing — when the jaw is not aligned correctly, a child may be forced to breathe through the mouth, which can lead to other health problems.
- Trouble chewing — misalignment makes the jaws crash into one another as a child chews. This causes pain and discomfort while chewing.
- An odd facial structure — when the jaw is misaligned, the child's facial structure is negatively affected. Many of the children with malocclusion used pacifiers for an extended period or had a habit of sucking their thumbs. Unfortunately, a misaligned jaw can make a child feel self-conscious.
Other symptoms of a misaligned jaw:
- Trouble speaking and sleeping.
- Discomfort, even while the jaw is at rest.
- Difficulty opening the mouth all the way.
- A clicking or popping of the temporomandibular joint.
- Jaw tenderness.
- Continuous aching in the face.
- Pain in and/or around the ear.
- Locking of the jaw, making it hard to open and/or close the mouth.
These issues are difficult to live with; however, technological advancements are allowing orthodontists to successfully correct misaligned jaws.
One potential complication of malocclusion is temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ).
TMJ is a painful, potentially lifelong condition that can affect several areas of a child's life.
What is the temporomandibular joint?
The temporomandibular joint is located where the base of the skull and lower jaw meet. The ligaments and muscles that surround the joint work together, allowing movement.The health of these muscles and ligaments, as well as the health and position of a child's teeth, contributes to the proper alignment and correct functioning of the temporomandibular joint.Symptoms of TMJ:
- Problems opening and closing the mouth.
- Ringing in the ear.
- Ear pain.
- Jaw pain.
- Headaches.
- Jaw fatigue.
- An uneven jaw opening.
- Inflammation around the temporomandibular joint.
- A jaw that gets stuck (locks).
- Painful clicking or popping of the temporomandibular joint.
- Uneven jaw movements (vertical or lateral).
- A tender temporomandibular joint that hurts when touched.
Treating TMJ.
The treatment recommended depends on how severe the TMJ is. However, potential treatments include jaw exercises, physical therapy, medications, injections into the joint and/or surgical intervention.
Outlook for a child with TMJ.
A child with mild symptoms of TMJ typically does well with anti-inflammatory medications and home care. More severe symptoms may require dental treatments, physical therapy or joint surgery.
Recognizing a misaligned jaw.
Although most parents realize the importance of taking their child for an orthodontic evaluation once they turn 7 years of age, they may not know the signs indicating that immediate orthodontic attention is necessary. By identifying issues in the early stages, a treatment plan can be prepared and implemented in the near future.5 warning signs that your child needs to see an orthodontist, even though he or she is under the age of 7:
- Crowded or crooked teeth.
- Frequently having an open mouth.
- Abnormal jaw growth, malocclusion.
- An unusual jaw structure or bite.
- A prolonged thumb-sucking habit (6 years of age and older).
Treating a misaligned jaw.
Correcting bad habits (e.g., teeth grinding, chewing gum, etc.) — if your child has bruxism and grinds his or her teeth while asleep, there are mouth guards available to help prevent the grinding.Potential treatments include:
- Braces — many times, orthodontic braces can help with proper alignment. Braces can gradually move the teeth into their proper locations. Traditional metal braces consist of cement brackets connected to the teeth and then to one another using wire. Over the period of one to three years, the wires will be tightened.
- Headgear braces — if the misalignment cannot be addressed with traditional braces, headgear braces may be recommended. Retraction headgear is designed to move the upper jaw backward; whereas, protraction headgear moves it forward. These braces are typically worn 12 to 14 hours a day.
- A reverse pull face mask — this device is designed to correct an underbite. The reverse pull face mask is worn overnight. Metal braces are affixed to the upper back teeth. These are then attached to a face mask that wraps around the head, pulling the upper jaw backward.
- An upper jaw expander — to correct an underbite, this wire framed device fits across the patient's upper palate. Every night, a special key is used to widen the expander.
- Surgical intervention — if the misalignment is severe, fixed plates, wires and screws may need to be used. Surgery is always the last resort and only recommended when a child's misaligned jaw is affecting his or her everyday functions (e.g., speaking, sleeping and eating, etc.).
Helping your child care for his or her teeth during orthodontic treatment.
During treatment, helping your child care for his or her teeth is just as important as before; however, it may be a bit more challenging. As before, your child should brush twice daily with a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Flossing (or using a Waterpik®, water flosser) at least once a day is his or her best chance at having a healthy, cavity-free mouth once treatment is complete.Although jaw misalignment can be serious, an experienced orthodontist can permanently fix the problem. With the numerous treatment options available, having a jaw that aligns well can be accomplished. Talk to one of the orthodontists at DocBraces to see which treatment option for a misaligned jaw is best for your child.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The West Virginia Legislature still has not set the date for the special session on education.
WV Press Association Report
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The West Virginia Legislature still has not set the date for the special session on education.
In conversations, legislators are saying May and June are all about education, but the date they will return to Charleston is uncertain. The next interim meetings are May 20-21. Addressing the issue at that point would allow the Legislature a month to handle the special session before the end of the 2018-19 fiscal year.
Gov. Jim Justice's proclamation limits the special session to education: "First, relating generally to improving, modifying, and making efficiencies to the state's public education system and employee compensation; and Second, Legislation authorizing and appropriating the expenditure of public funds to pay for the Extraordinary Session."
When making the proclamation, Justice said, … We still have not achieved what I promised the people of West Virginia – a 5 percent pay raise for all teachers, school service personnel, state troopers, and all state employees. … It's critically important that we still get there before the new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2019…"
According to the Governor, the money required to cover the 5 percent raise was included as an unappropriated expense in the FY 2020 budget document, "This means the money is safely stored," Justice said.
Since the end of the 2019 regular session, school officials and legislators have been conducting meetings around the state in preparation for the special session.
One such meeting was held in Mineral County on March 26, where attendees were asked to vote on which issues they felt were priority.
One proposal which they definitely did not endorse was the establishment of charter schools, which they felt would drain much-needed funding from the public education system.
The Times West Virginian' Eddie Trizzino, reported April 16, that Sen. Roman Prezioso, D-Marion, who is also a retired educator, has joined with senators and delegates in meeting with education leaders and union members statewide to hear their thoughts on education reform should be handled in a special session.
After attended several meetings between lawmakers and educators. Prezioso says he has a clear sense about where teachers stand.
"The No. 1 thing that the boards of education were concerned about… was obtaining quality, certified teachers for the classroom," Prezioso said. "There is not enough money right now to help one system, why do we want to start two systems? So those are the problems we're dealing with going into the special session."
The Parkersburg News and Sentinel's Steve Allen Adams reported April 11 that West Virginia Department of Education staff members are reviewing the discussions and survey data from the more than 1,600 people who attended the WVDE's eight education roundtables in Kanawha, Cabell, McDowell, Raleigh, Harrison, Ohio, Wood and Morgan counties.
Those summaries will be given to the governor and lawmakers prior to the Special Session on education.
The interim dates are as follows: April 29-30; May 20; June 17-18; July 22-23; Sept. 23-24; Nov. 18-19; Dec. 16-17; Jan. 6-7, 2020; Jan. 8, start of 2020 regular session.

Deadly Impulse (Detective Madison Knight Series Book 6)
by Carolyn Arnold
Looks aren't the only things that can be deceiving…
When a sixty-eight-year-old woman is found dead outside the hospital in a wheelchair with an anti-abortion sign strapped to its back, Detective Madison Knight expects it to be an open-and-shut case. On the surface, there are no signs of foul play, but the deeper she digs, the more convoluted the homicide becomes. And when two more bodies appear, including those of a girl just barely old enough to drink and a homeless man, the direct links between the three murders are anything but simple.
Without a consistent MO, Madison doesn't buy that a serial killer is on the loose, despite the conviction with which her ex-fiancé and fellow detective try to convince their superior. But Madison already has enough to juggle without having to defend her reputation. Debilitating flashbacks of being held hostage by the Russian Mafia mere months before haunt her on an almost daily basis, and the promises she made to herself while in captivity are becoming more and more difficult to keep. Learning to trust is hard enough without constant reminders of what destruction—fatal or otherwise—trusting the wrong person can cause.
Now, as both personal and professional friction within the department mounts, she and her partner, Terry, must figure out what motivation could span generations to cause someone to murder these people. But catching this killer is like grasping at straws, and grabbing the wrong one could mean losing not only her pride but also her boyfriend, her credibility, and her faith in humanity…

Railroad Reservation
The Railroad Reservation is a plot of land, 1000 feet wide by 4,780 feet long in the center of Birmingham's street grid, set aside in William Barker's original plat of the city for use by the railroads and related industries.
Colonel James Powell described the creation of the corridor in his 1st report to stockholders of the Elyton Land Company in January 1872, a few months after the first lots were sold in the new city:
- "Deeming it necessary as a preliminary measure to arrange for those railroads companies for the reservation of those grounds needed for their purpose and other roads in process of construction to a common center at Birmingham, I appointed several occasions to meet the representatives of those companies, the we might agree upon the location and extent of the grounds therefor, preparatory to the survey of the property. [...] I immediately organized an engineers party and begun the work of surveying and laying off then then future city. After this work had progressed for about six weeks, in which time about 300 acres had been surveyed and sub-divided into about 1,500 lots, staked off and numbered, the chief engineers of the Alabama and Chattanooga and the South and North Alabama railroads were deputed by their respective companies to make another survey and location of the grounds to be reserved for railroad purposes. Another location was then agreed upon, by the railroad companies and your president, which necessitated a new survey and gave to the two railroad companies and to others soon expected to be built a large strip of the best lands of your company, about one mile long, and one thousand feet wide, being 500 feet on each side of the line of the A and C Railroad, including the 100 feet of right of way of that road, in the center [of] which on either side of the A and C Railroad, are special reservations each 415 feet by 900 feet for general passenger and freight depot for the use of all the railroad companies centering here, a right way 85 feet wide on each side of the A and C Railroad, including the 100 feet right of way of that road, being granted to all the railroads to this center. This grant embraces 105.12 acres and is to be used exclusively for railroad purposes by the first four railroads connecting at this point."
The sites at either end of the reservation, where various other railroads met the existing Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad and turned parallel across the center of the city, were given over to two of the early blast furnaces within Birmingham, the Alice Furnace on the west, and Sloss Furnaces on the east. Gradually, other industries were given plots within the reserved area as well.
The tracks within the railroad reservation remain active today, giving people in Birmingham a rare opportunity to engage in trainspotting or benching in the midst of the downtown core.
From north to south, the current tracks are as follows: Norfolk Southern Railroad Yard (two tracks), Norfolk Southern Railroad main #1, Norfolk Southern Railroad main #2 (AGS District), CSX Railroad main #2, and CSX Railroad main #1.
Crossing the railroad reservation became a challenge as street traffic increased and Birmingham's Southside became increasingly developed. The railroad bed was regraded in 1930 and a series of viaducts and underpasses were constructed over several decades to eliminate grade crossings. The four underpasses were completed in 1931, with reinforced concrete headwalls featuring art-deco designs by architect David O. Whillden.
Currently nine roadways cross above or below the tracks downtown. The following list is ordered from west to east:
- 14th Street underpass
- 18th Street underpass (Birmingham Central Station, Powell Avenue Steam Plant)
- 19th Street underpass
- 20th Street underpass
- 21st Street viaduct
- 22nd Street viaduct
- 24th Street viaduct
- Red Mountain Expressway
Later development
A strip of vacant land on the south side of the Railroad Reservation, between 18th and 14th Streets became an open-air storehouse for railroad equipment collected by the Heart of Dixie Railroad Club. The site had long been proposed for an interpretive railroad museum, but by the time the city assembled funding for its popular Railroad Park, which opened in 2010, the club had relocated its collections to Calera.

The Mendocino redwood grows on the upper flat of Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve. It probably still is the tallest tree in the reserve. Like other trees in the reserve the full profile can be noted from the trail and the top is lit up like a giant green lamp in late afternoon when the rest of the canyon is in shade.
The average diameter at 4.5 feet above ground is 10.1 feet.
The latest published height is 368 feet, from a 2013 or earlier measurement.
The 2017 LiDAR indicated height for Mendocino is about 368 feet.
In 2000 the published height was a little over 367 feet.

Could you give these rescue dogs a loving home?
PUBLISHED: 18:26 16 January 2019
A Suffolk dog rescue centre is holding a number of events to help fund the building of a kennel block as it seeks out new homes for long-term residents.
The Canine Welfare Rescue centre at Glevering, near Wickham Market, opened in 1994 to take in homeless dogs.
Over the years it has helped to save, care for and re-home hundreds of pets.
"We have taken in dogs that have desperately needed veterinary care and spent thousands of pounds on getting them well," said Emma White, who runs the centre.
"Occasionally dogs come in that have been so terribly let down by humans that in some cases we have been unable to re-home them and have kept them with us to live out their days in comfort."
The centre, which has a non-destruction policy, is self-funded and money comes from adoption fees, fundraising and kind donations from the public.
Founder Jane Fernandez-Lee built the first block of kennels with the help of donations and materials from local building companies.
But the centre is now "critically" short of space due to several long term rescue dogs – and is organising a number of fundraising events to help fund a new kennel block.
The first of these is a 'sparkling Valentine's' evening with fizz and canapes on Saturday, February 9.
The event, which will include a raffle and musical entertainment by Helena Ward, will be held at Green Acres in Glevering.
Tickets, which must be booked in advance, are £25 each.
To book, call 01728 747760 or 07823772994 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
The centre currently has a number of dogs looking for homes, including:
• Oscar, a 10-year-old Lhasa Apso long termer due to being a bit grumpy.
• Zephy, a two-year-old Cockapoo, who is currently undergoing re-training.
• Benson, a five-year-old Beauceron Cross, described as "a big dog with a big personality" who is looking for an adult home with experience of large breeds.
• Kara, an eight or nine-year-old German Shepherd long termer who doesn't trust strangers due to past cruelty.
• Sash, a female 10-year-old Staffordshire Cross who is great with other dogs and has lived with children.
For more information on adopting a dog, call 07823 772994 or use the email address above.

Europa League Preview: Torino vs. København
Match Date: 02 October 2014 (local time)
Venue: Stadio Olimpico
A scoreless stalemate against Club Bruges can be best described as a satisfactory result for Torino. At the very least, the squad was able to snatch a point in its first Group Stage encounter in the Europa League.
Yet, as the competition becomes more intense, the online betting favorite will most likely seek for more points to strengthen its campaign in the tournament.
The contenders
Although encountering certain problems in Serie A, Torino has managed to achieve balance both in the domestic and international leagues.
Sitting in the Serie A mid-table, this has somehow, lessened the pressure felt by the squad when playing outside Italy. The above-mentioned draw may not be the ideal outcome, yet, at the very least, it was better than going home empty-handed.
FC Copenhagen had a strong start in the tournament when it contained HJK and snatched 2 goals. The said victory propelled its rank to the top spot of Group B and will also serve as a good motivational source for the whole club. Keen on maintaining its position in the group table, Copenhagen will definitely do everything to secure another 3 points against the host.
Possible head turners
Delivering 2 goals, Nicolai Jorgensen is a scoring machine that Torino must readily contain.

What Is Mixed Voice?
Terms like Open Throat and Mixed Voice are often thrown around without much further explanation in YouTube videos and singing tutorials – but in a practical sense, what does a term like Mixed Voice REALLY mean?
Mixed Voice, or simple MIX as it's sometime known can be used to describe two aspects of your vocal technique; a) a blend of frequencies between chest and head voice that 'mix' together and create a full tone and limitless range and b) a balance between the TA and CT muscles in a physical sense, so a 'mix' of weight and tension instead of pure weight or pure tension.
The best way to find mix voice is to start light in your low range while maintaining a bright and controlled connection through your registers. Instead of pulling chest voice as high as possible and then 'handing off' to head voice, instead treat your voice as one full note or slide from top to bottom without a defined break.
How To Connect Chest and Head Voice
Many singers struggle to connect chest and head voice, in part due to lack of balance between the TA and CT muscles – the thyroarytenoid and the cricothyroid, or simply put, weight and tension of the vocal folds. This lack of balance leads to a defined change in dominance between these two muscles, when in fact they are designed to function in tandem in a coordinated balance that provides ample fold compression through the middle of your range and also grants access to mixed resonance.
How To Sing In Mixed Voice
One of my favourite methods of finding a student's mixed resonance is the 'projection' method. Now, instead of projecting your voice far away from yourself, imagine that the voice is being projected back to you – like someone is across the street calling to you; it won't be too loud, but it will be assertive, strong and pleasant – everything that defines your mixed register.
By developing a strong mixed voice connection between your main registers, you will enjoy the rich depth afforded by your chest resonance while making use of the extensive high range afforded by your head voice. Mixed Voice really IS the key to building a better singing voice.

Straight from the Swede
Sweden's latest breakthrough tech
By, Cozmic
Sweden is not usually known as the most technologically advanced country in the world (or even known), being as how we do not have super-ultra robots, or trains that break the barrier of sound or whatever. However, we do have some new things that certainly feel cutting-edge up here.
First up is our latest phone in technology, where you can phone in to vote for something you like on TV and then not get on the line for 10 minutes. Truly, a technical marvel that sent an insane cultist off to the Eurovision Song Festival, since hers was the only line that worked. Fortunately, the next time this marvel of technology was used and anybody actually cared, it still did not let people vote, but the right thing (or, rather, things, since we are talking about Lordi here). Truly, this is a great age were democracy almost works (unless we are talking politics..).
And of course, lately the Swedish hockeyteam have demonstrated the effects of our new "win championship" technology, first becoming Olympic champions and then winning the World Cup. All due to skill and a healthy amount of shock treatment if they do not win. It is all automated too, thanks to microchips implanted in the helmets. And, better yet, they are all networked thanks to wi-fi technology. Nobody really knew what this was for, the designers just wanted to brag about network accessibility.
Of course, some of our most prominent technology comes from other foreign inventors. For instance, there is this American fellow who claims to have invented a doomsday device powered by polar bears. The major issue here is of course that there are no polar bears in Sweden, something he said he would fix with some sort of new device. All that mad cackling he did made it hard to discern exactly what this is, but I am guessing he is planning on turning the bear population into polar bears using some sort of technology powered by penguins. These plans I stole confirm this suspicion, which means my anti-mad-scientist system (or AMSs) needs to be fine tuned so that it does not waste all ammo on door-to-door salesmen...
And also, very very locally, the Sega Dreamcast is on its way to make
a comeback with its antiquated technology and gorgeously designed controls
as soon as I remember what games I wanted for it in the first place.

The spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmad Yasin, has warned that his movement plans to kidnap Israeli soldiers to swap for Palestinian prisoners held by the Jewish state.
"Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas' armed wing) have planned, are planning and will continue to plan until they succeed," Yasin told reporters on Friday when asked whether his movement would follow Hizb Allah example and capture soldiers.
Israel released some 400 Palestinian prisoners on Thursday as part of a controversial deal with Hizb Allah in exchange for an Israeli businessman and the bodies of three soldiers captured by Lebanon's resistance group.
Yasin said he had long believed that Israel would only be willing to release Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the freedom of its own captives.
"I have said ever since my release in 1997 that the only way of solving the prisoners issue would be by kidnapping enemy soldiers for exchange as they only understand the language of force," he said.
Yasin was released in October 1997 after spending eight years in Israeli detention.
Exchange deal
His release, along with dozens of other Palestinian and Jordanian prisoners, formed part of an exchange deal for two Israeli agents captured in Amman while on a mission to assassinate a senior Hamas official.
The 67-year-old Yasin himself survived an Israeli assassination attempt last September during an air raid in Gaza City, and Israel's deputy defence minister Zeev Boim said in mid-January that he has been "marked for death".
The wheelchair-bound cleric said that Hamas and other Palestinian factions had frequently tried to kidnap Israelis but faced major obstacles.
"It is difficult and complicated for the Israeli soldiers are careful, but as long as the intentions and preparations are in place, we will succeed today or tomorrow," he added.

Microsoft shipped Word 6.0 in 1993 with a new feature called "AutoCorrect." But autocorrect goes back further than that.
The idea of fixing text as it's typed dates back to the 1960s, says Brad Myers, a professor of interface design at Carnegie Mellon University. That's when a computer scientist named Warren Teitelman — who invented the "undo" command — came up with a philosophy of computing called D.W.I.M., or "Do What I Mean." Rather than programming computers to accept only perfectly formatted instructions, Teitelman said we should program them to recognize obvious mistakes.
That was followed by the touch-tone phone, and engineers working on ways to enter text using a "reduced keyboard." The T9 method of text entry was adapted for use on mobile phones in 1995.
But the hijinks really start when the software stops making suggestions and just replaces things automatically.

A dutch oven and a braiser are essentially the same piece of cookware in two distinctly different shapes. Dutch ovens are tall and steep with thick sides, a heavy bottom, and a heavy lid. Most people would look at a dutch oven and simply call it a pot. Braisers are short and wide, though deep for a pan, and they also have thick sides, a heavy bottom, and heavy lid. Unlike dutch ovens, braisers typically have sloped sides instead straight ones. Both dutch ovens and braisers can be used on a stovetop or in an oven. Their heavy lids form a tight seal that makes them ideal for locking in moisture while slow-cooking or cooking at high temperatures.
Dutch Oven Uses
Dutch ovens are distinct from stockpots and saucepans in that their thick, heavy bottoms create a more evenly heated cooking surface that can both withstand high temperatures and retain more heat than other pots. In addition to cooking liquids, a dutch oven can also be used for searing and browning, as well as cooking casseroles. However, its tall, straight sides and tight fitting lid make it ideal for cooking stews and boiling.
My Latest Videos
Braiser Uses
A braiser can be used in all the same ways a dutch oven can, but its wide bottom and shallow, sloped sides make it better suited for searing, browning, and sauteing than a dutch oven. You can even do shallow frying in them. While braisers are best used for the same types of dishes you might prepare in a frying pan or skillet, they also work very well for curries, stews, and casseroles.
Costs and Where to Buy
There are only a handful of name brands that make dutch ovens and braisers, but you can also find generic ones that cost a bit less. Ours are Le Creuset, and we were fortunate enough to have them gifted to us. On the low end, dutch ovens and braisers start at about $40. On the high end, they can cost over $200. That being said, a high quality dutch oven/braiser can last a lifetime and then some if taken care of.
You can find dutch ovens and braisers at any home and kitchen store, like Williams Sonoma. You can also buy them on Amazon, and probably save a little bit of money.
We love our dutch oven and our braiser, and we use them constantly. I probably use at least one or the other daily because they are so versatile. Check out some of our recipes to see the meals we've made with them. You can also see them in action on our cooking channel.

State Department confirms Egyptian military 'elements' participated in crackdown

The State Department now acknowledges that "elements" of the Egyptian military have taken part in the violent crackdown on journalists and activists in Cairo over the past few days, calling into question the positive influence and neutrality of the military, which the Obama administration praised last week.
Human rights activists in Washington and Cairo reported last week uniformed Egyptian military personnel were directly involved in the arrest, detention, and interrogation of human rights activists in Egypt, including the raid on the Hisham Mubarak Law Center, which included the arrest of Human Rights Watch researcher Daniel Williams. In a gripping first-hand account on Monday, Williams explained the extensive role of Egyptian military personnel in his incarceration.
"The initial impression was that the military sided with the demonstrators yet provided order amid the chaos, which is why I was surprised to see the soldier on the chair, harassing the human rights workers about a 'suspicious meeting' with foreigners bent on 'ruining our country,' Williams wrote on Monday at The Daily Beast. "There was no doubt that the army was in charge of the raid. At one point, a major general showed up at the Hisham Mubarak center and other officers worked hand in glove with a uniformed policeman, plainclothes state security agents and assorted abusive henchmen."
Williams was brought with other activists and a Japanese photographer to Camp 75, a military headquarters in northeast Cairo, where he was interrogated and held for 36 hours.
"The raid on the Hisham Mubarak Law Center exemplifies the persistence of abusive security practices under a military establishment, which claims it wants transition from the past," he wrote. "But in this and other cases, now being documented by Human Rights Watch, the army was clearly in charge of arbitrary and sometimes violent arrests, even if the beatings and torture had been "outsourced" to other agencies or thugs."
Pressed on the issue by The Cable at today's briefing, spokesman P.J. Crowley said the State Department was aware that some military units participated in the raids but also pointed out that other military units played a role in protecting journalists and maintaining a measure of stability in Tahrir Square.
"To the extent that there were elements within the military that participated in these abuses of journalists and others last week, they should be held fully accountable," Crowley said. "By the same token, when you look at the streets of Cairo over the past several days since the violence on Wednesday, the military did play a constructive role."
Crowley said that the State Department has formally raised the issue of military involvement in the crackdowns with their Egyptian interlocutors but declined to relate the specifics of those conversations.
A State Department official, speaking on background, said that the Egyptian military was acting during the crisis "in some instances constructively, in some instances not." The official suggested that "elements" of the military were involved, specifically military police units, which have ties to the Ministry of Interior, the department believed to be orchestrating the crackdowns.
Regardless, the acknowledgement of Egyptian military involvement in the crackdowns on activists and journalists comes only four days after Crowley praised the military. "We are very impressed with the posture and the professionalism displayed by the Egyptian military," Crowley said at a Feb. 3 press briefing.
The military's involvement in the raids is a troubling indicator for the Obama administration and others that the army is not altogether playing a mediating role during Egypt's transition process.
"It's a worrying sign of things to come," Heba Morayef, Middle East researcher for Human Rights Watch," told McClatchy, "because the military is going to play a big role going forward."

AumTantraYoga was born from the desire to keep alive the authentic tradition of Yoga in our modern time in which this ancient practice is incredibly popular, but completely emptied of all its spiritual value. Yoga in the West has been reduced to a purely physical discipline, certainly effective for the health of the physical body but we are not just a physical body!
Only when the practice includes the energetic and mental spheres, then can it be called Yoga and an expansion of the subtle planes of being can be expected.
AumTantraYoga proposes to spread also the esoteric aspects of the path of Yoga, so that it happens in the people who practices, a real transformation in all the aspects of existence and that leads to the revelation of the True Self.
All the teachings of the AumTantraYoga courses refer to the ancient tradition, to the sacred texts and the teachings of the enlightened masters, but in an absolutely modern, scientific and non-religious way, accessible to the Western mentality.
We at AumTantraYoga say that Yoga is a complete path for the spiritual evolution incredibly useful to human beings in the whole world.

BAE Guns Glorious Guns
Return to SWADE Borderlands
What would Borderlands be without gobs and gobs of aggressively marketed, randomly generated firearms? These setting-specific rules apply to weapons generated using the following pages:
Brand-Name Benefits
All benefits stack with any improvements added; e.g., a Bandit pistol that adds one level of the clip capacity improvement has a total of quadruple the usual ammo load.
All Bandit guns start with double the usual clip capacity.
Bandit Rocket Launchers: In addition to the above, these start with the multi-barrel enhancement (see BAE Rocket Launchers?), but one level less damage (3d6 becomes 2d10).
All Dahl guns have the Three-Round Burst (3RB) enhancement: this can only be used with ROF 1, consumes three times as many bullets as usual, gives an extra +1 to hit, and does an extra +1 damage.
Use of 3RB is optional, unless you're aiming in which case you must use it (and cannot use ROF 2+).
All Hyperion guns have the Stable enhancement: this reduces the recoil penalty for rapid fire from -2 to -1, and if you have the Rock And Roll Edge, you negate the penalty completely even if you move on your turn.
All Jakobs guns do an extra +1 damage with +2 AP. If they have a high ROF, this doesn't represent true automatic fire, but instead mashing the trigger as quickly as the gun will allow. (Use the same rules; this is just flavor.)
Jakobs weapons cannot acquire either the clip capacity or elemental damage improvements.
Jakobs Sniper Rifles: In addition to the above, Jakobs sniper rifles cannot acquire the rapid fire improvement.
All Maliwan guns start with one free level of elemental damage, and are the only weapons that can natively reach four levels of elemental damage. Roll a d20 when generating one: 1-4 Corrosive, 5-8 Cryo, 9-12 Incendiary, 13-16 Shock, 17-20 Slag.
Maliwan guns can acquire no more than one level of the rapid fire improvement.
All Tediore guns have the Reload Grenade enhancement. The act of reloading the weapon throws a copy of it as a (free) mini-grenade with range 5/10/20. This inflicts damage equal to the gun's damage (no AP) in an SBT. Any bullets left in the gun are consumed, but may inflict additional damage: +1 damage if there are at least 5 bullets, +2 if at least 10, +3 if at least 20, +4 if at least 40, and +5 if at least 80.
Tediore Rocket Launchers: For the purpose of additional damage, divide the required values by 5 when reading "bullets" as "rockets."
All Torgue guns except for grenade launchers start with one level of the damage and explosive damage improvements, but also with one level of reduced range (an "anti-improvement").
Torgue Grenade Launchers: Instead of the above, these start with the wide-barreled improvement (see BAE Assault Rifles?).
Torgue guns can acquire no more than one level of the rapid fire improvement.
All Vladof guns except rocket launchers start with 1.5x the usual clip capacity (round up) and +1 ROF.
Vladof Rocket Launchers: Instead of the above, these do one level less damage (3d6 becomes 2d10) but have double the clip capacity and the special Fast Rockets enhancement (targets are at an extra -2 to evade). They cannot acquire the multi-barrel improvement.

All the Wrong Interestsby John Traynor Jr.
Spokesman Review, May 26, 2007
I read with interest Rep. McMorris Rodgers' guest opinion this week regarding the ongoing evaluation of the fish recovery and dam removal issue ("Study fish recovery, not just dam removal," May 19). I found it ironic that she cited her proposed Endangered Species Transparency Act as an example of responsible analysis of the cost of fish recovery. Given her voting record on environmental and land-use issues, as well as her relationships with the business and energy interests funding the erosion of the stewardship interests, at one time important to the Republican Party, it is clear that science and transparency are not what she is after.
Why didn't she propose transparency in the workings of Vice President Cheney's energy panel, which was stacked with industry heavyweights and protected from public scrutiny by a kangaroo-court ruling designed to conceal the workings of the executive branch over the public interest? I share her interest in letting local communities, instead of federal judges, make decisions regarding the use of our rivers. Unfortunately, the walls of separation between policy-makers in the White House and well-funded industry interests have been eliminated due to a lack of oversight by congressional members such as McMorris Rodgers.
This is not about science or transparency. This is about politics and monied interests.

This thursday a civil suit was filed against Bitfinex, with the New York attorney general making allegations that the cryptocurrency exchange has hidden losses of up to $850 million dollars USD from both clients and customers.
The news has been linked to the recent bitcoin price market dump which may have originated from the Kraken crypto exchange, which saw the leading cryptocurrency lose 10% of its total value, from around $5500 to a new price circling $5000.
The bitcoin price correction came just before the Bitfinex announcement
The interesting thing to note is that the price correction came just before the announcement of the lawsuit by the attorney general was made public. While there is no hard evidence that the two events are linked, the coincidence has left many wondering whether there is indeed a connection.
The news was first broken by the Wall Street Journal at approximately 23:20 ET, and the subsequent crash occurred 21:00, just hours beforehand.
Another reason for the market dip could have been the return of previously stolen bitcoins, after the 2016 hack that saw Bitfinex lose $65 million USD equivalent, which was a total of 35% of investor funds.
Some from the crypto community on twitter have suggested that it was actually Kraken's 'illiquid book' and 'dirty spillage' that was behind bitcoin's price dump.
Whatever the reason for bitcoin's price crash, the market is still strong and healthy
Whatever the reason behind the price dump, over the course of the last 3 months of positive price action, this is not even a blip in the proverbial radar of bitcoin's recent ascent. Bitcoin price action has seen a massive rise from around $3900 to at the most $5500, totaling nearly a 50% increase in total price and marketcap.
Despite the price dump, the market is overall performing exceptionally well over the last quarter, and any dip in price now may well be temporary. Any one event such as a lawsuit, returned hacked funds, or an alleged illiquid book, can mean nothing to the billions of dollars that flow freely throughout the entire cryptocurrency markets each day.

Aston Martin—Finally!—Has a New Test Center
We talk with the supercar maker's chief engineer to get the skinny
When I arrived at Aston Martin in early 2015, I kept telling [CEO] Andy Palmer that, 'we need a track, we need a track, we need a track—we need a base to work from!' " So says Matt Becker, chief engineer of the British supercar maker, who had that handy luxury at his old employer, Lotus, and he's finally getting his wish with the new Aston Martin Test Center at Silverstone.
Aston initially gained access to the existing facility in October, but exclusive use of Silverstone's Stowe Circuit during the work week begins in January 2019. "Having a central area for development makes the cars better," said Becker. "This hub will be an incredibly useful tool. Currently, we constantly travel all over Europe and various areas of America testing cars. That takes up a lot of time and cost and efficiency." Aston will still use those current locations but to a lesser degree. "Obviously, Silverstone has a cost," noted Becker. "It's figuring out what can we do at Silverstone [in order to] reduce elsewhere. At the moment, we do the bulk of development at Nürburgring but sometimes that gives you a car that just suits the 'Ring. So we'll now flip it around—we'll do the bulk at Silverstone and a bit less at the 'Ring. Nardo in Italy will continue to be used for enthusiastic driver testing. It's 35 to 40 degrees Celsius [95 to 104 F] ambient and there's an 8000-km [5000-mile] test where cars are driven within 95 percent of the best lap time. But we might do 20 percent of that at Silverstone, as we can shakedown the cars at Silverstone. Any issues we find, we can handle locally. We then don't have to fly people in or fix things remotely over the phone."
Aston will use an existing circuit and building at Silverstone but it's still an expensive venture. "I can't tell you the numbers but it's not a small amount of money," noted Becker. "We'll kit out the Stowe complex building. There will be seven hoists, a geometry rig, shock-absorber room, tire-changing facilities, instrumentation facilities, etc. There will be full-time people working and based at Silverstone. I plan to be there at least two days a week."
You'd be forgiven if you questioned Aston's logic in their choice of tracks given the size of Stowe. "It's only just over a mile long. I was a bit unsure of the circuit at first," said Becker. "But there are some reasonably high-speed straights and corners, which is good for stability. The low-speed corners are pretty low speed, so we'll have to be cautious to not set the car up to just work there because you could make the car very pointy. Plus, we'll have an agreement with Silverstone so when they have slots on the main circuit we can use it. That could be the National, International, or Grand Prix configurations."
A key advantage of Silverstone is the central location to Aston's multiple locations around the U.K. From its headquarters in Gaydon to special operations and prototype construction in Wellesbourne to the historic world of Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell to the Red Bull projects in Milton Keynes, Silverstone is never more than 40 miles away. "Anyone within the Aston Martin family could use Silverstone," said Becker. "It's called the Test Center but it's there for everyone. Red Bull could use it with the Valkyrie. For sure, they'd need to use the full circuit given the level of performance but Stowe is good for getting the basics right. Any car that Aston Martin Works is building or restoring, they can shake them down here. It's for everybody."
One concern at Silverstone is privacy, especially for prototypes and other secret projects. "Yes, it's more of a challenge at Silverstone," noted Becker. "But, generally, all of our cars are camouflaged and driven on the road anyway. And if you take a confidential car to the Nürburgring then it's no longer a confidential car! So, we'll try to protect it as much as we can at Silverstone. And anything that's hyperconfidential won't go to Silverstone initially. We'll take it somewhere like Nardo or IDIADA (Spain), as [the public] can't get in there." Becker continued, "Plus, Aston—and certainly Andy—is quite transparent. We don't hide much of what we're doing. So I don't think it will be much of an issue for confidentiality."
What about Aston Martin eventually getting a proper, full-scale proving ground? "Given the cost and return relative to hiring from somewhere else, I'd say no," said Becker. "MIRA and Millbrook (in the U.K.) offer so much with surfaces, etc. To try to create that ourselves would just be masses and masses of money. Other small manufacturers don't have one either. So we'll likely never have our own—we'll never be big enough. We'd rather spend the money on something else. Plus, once you're at Silverstone, you're quite close to Millbrook and MIRA."

text: Over the course of this year I have cooked several meals for the Friends Homeless Shelter. It is a very rewarding feeling to know that the service you are doing is helping others through providing a home cooked meal. It was also a positive experience because I felt proud to go to a school that serves as a home for over a dozen homeless people every night. It is eye-opening to see the school space transformed into a shelter at night and it is a great feeling to know that you are serving people who are so close to the Friends community. I really loved doing this and will definitely continue to volunteer with the Friends Shelter in the future.

JLG used The ARA Show to round-out its R series of scissor lifts with the introduction of the 2632R and 3246R units. The 2632R allows operators to drive through a single doorway and work indoors at a height of 26 feet. The new 3246R features a 32-foot platform height. Among the innovations, customers will appreciate the exclusive variable tilt technology, which allows operators to elevate to limited heights when working on slight slopes, maximizing the work envelope.
Hampden Tener, senior director of global product management for the company, said, "Little things that we added were protectors for the control panel, new metal covers under the deck to protect all the guts, a foot pedal for the extension deck. We just keep improving these units."
The 2632R offers several well-known features of the R Series, with an outdoor capability of 20 feet. This ANSI 92.20 compliant lift allows operators to drive through a single doorway and work indoors at a platform height of 26 feet.
The 3246R is set apart from the competition as the lightest lift in its class, JLG says. Also ANSI 92.20 compliant, the 3246R is ideal for applications that require a lightweight machine with a 32-foot platform height.
The entire family of R Series slab scissor lifts features intuitive technologies that differentiate them from the competition. Among the innovations, customers will appreciate the exclusive variable tilt technology, which allows operators to elevate to limited heights when working on slight slopes, maximizing the work envelope.
"We work closely with our customers to help design machines that meet and exceed their expectations," said Rafael Nuñez, JLG senior product manager for scissor, vertical and low-level access lifts. "These two new lifts in our R Series fill out the core of our affordable line of hydraulically-driven scissors, which have been optimized to offer lower part replacement costs over the life of the unit. The new scissors complement our premium line of electric drive machines, which have a great reputation among rental customers and end users."
The company also touted its AccessReady XR virtual reality-based training for operators including controls familiarization, machine operation and advanced spatial awareness challenges; its Enhanced Detection System (EDS), which is an evolution of the existing JLG Soft Touch System. EDS uses innovative ultrasonic technology to sense when an object is nearby – first slowing, then stopping the machine before it makes contact. And JLG announced its SmartLoad technology is now available for all of its telehandlers.
JLG also rolled out its mobile app to load stowed scissor lifts onto trailers. The industry-first app enables users to drive, steer and load R Series scissor lifts while in a stowed position from an iOS mobile device. The app is available as an option on new R Series scissor lifts, or available to purchase as an aftermarket option for existing machines. In testing, it was proven that the learning curve to use the app to move the machine around the jobsite took only minutes, even for inexperienced operators, JLG says.

The True Cost and ROI of Business Travel
In sports, athletes who perform at peak ability are often said to be "in the zone." All else is shut out and their minds and bodies are as one, permitting total concentration.
When I read that a British Air flight crew had been sleep-deprived because of the noise in a New Delhi hotel—with the result that they delayed their flight to London—it set the wheels of my mind whirling.
For a flight crew to be "in the zone" for a 12-hour journey, it cannot be tired. Yes, giant jets have autopilot, but it could be disastrous if both pilot and co-pilot passed out at the same time from extreme fatigue.
For example, according to CNN, "In the August 27 Comair crash in Lexington, Kentucky, the lone air-traffic controller was working on just two hours of sleep, according to the NTSB."
All of us have our own zones in which we do excellent work and feel good about what we do.
Travel can roundly screw up a person's zone.
What should a company spend in order to ensure that the rep making a big sales presentation or investigating a multimillion dollar corporate fraud is in the zone after a 4,000- or 8,000-mile flight?
Mandating travel on the cheap probably is not a good idea.
Tonya Harding
You don't realize how dangerous figure skating is until you see it live. When she competes, a figure skater must be in the zone. Speed and precision are everything. The slightest miscue can put her on her butt, cause injury and cost her a medal.
I used to watch figure skating on television (and once in a while at an arena). In the early 1990s, Tonya Harding showed up for either the world championships or the Olympics—I forget which—the day before she was scheduled to compete. Her coach, Diane Rawlinson, told the commentators that Harding was training well in her home arena and it was decided to keep her there until close to the competition. I remember thinking that Rawlinson was nuts. I once heard that the ideal schedule for getting completely over jet lag is one day for every time zone crossed (east or west), and Harding would be flying for over 10 hours from Portland, Ore. to Europe.

The outcome of campaigns can be measured and tracked immediately because online marketing initiatives usually require users to click on an advertisement, to visit a website, and to perform a targeted action. Social media can help grow your business by first growing your fans on these different platforms.
While there are no prerequisites needed to enroll in the Digital Media and Marketing program, obtaining OMCP certification does mandate additional requirements be met. But a problem arises when you simply don't have the budget to hire a full-time consultant or marketing person. Walter oversees the Marketing organization and is responsible for both product marketing and demand generation functions for Milestone. Digital marketing on the other end is becoming popular because it utilizes mass media devices like television, radio and the Internet. Social media is always a tough sell for ecommerce companies, since it's tough to figure out which platforms work best in certain markets. I have spent a lot of money on numerous products and marketing materials wondering if they would work, all the while wishing I had access to creative copy and ads that are already working. You never know, one of these ebooks might just be a part of your great success story!

Nissan shareholders voted Monday to eject Carlos Ghosn from the board, as the detained former chairman fights multiple financial misconduct charges that have landed him in custody.
The extraordinary shareholders' meeting at a Tokyo hotel was the first such gathering since the stunning arrest of the 65-year-old auto sector titan on November 19.
After several hours of questions from shareholders, fielded by CEO Hiroto Saikawa, they voted to remove Ghosn, as well as Greg Kelly, a US executive who served as Ghosn's right-hand man and who also faces charges in Japan.
They also approved a motion to replace Ghosn with Renault chairman Jean-Dominique Senard.
Nissan sacked Ghosn as chairman almost immediately after his initial arrest but an extraordinary meeting of shareholders was required to remove him from the board.
Saikawa opened the meeting with a speech outlining the allegations against his former mentor, accusing him of misusing funds and seeking to conceal his compensation.
He and other executives bowed deeply before the thousands of shareholders at the meeting as it opened.
"We have to admit that there was a significant problem with our corporate governance," he said, adding that he had been "extremely shocked when I learned of the misconduct."
Nearly 4,200 shareholders attended the meeting, with many taking the chance of a question-and-answer session to slam Ghosn, but also raise concerns about how the scandal was allowed to occur.
"Nissan's government isn't working well. I really regret that," 77-year-old shareholder Isamu Beppu told AFP before the meeting.
"If there is no rebuilding of its governance, there will be no revival," he added.
Ghosn faces three separate charges. The first two relate to the alleged deferring of around $80 million in income and concealing this in official documents to shareholders.
The third, more complex, charge is that he attempted to transfer personal losses to Nissan and paid a Saudi contact who provided collateral from company funds.
