KAPIT: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) has succeeded in helping millions of people, especially the Bumiputera and including Sarawakians, realise their dreams throughout its existence.
Just last Saturday, Mara concluded two programmes – People's Tuition Programme (Program Tuisyen Rakyat or PTR) and Mara Golden Heart Skills Programme – at two separate locations here.
At the closing of PTR, Mara celebrated a total of 100 students from three secondary schools here, namely SMK Kapit No. 2, SMK Kapit and SMK Selirik, for completing the programme which has began in June this year.
The ceremony at Sri Balleh hall saw students receive their PTR completion certifi cate from Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development Datuk Alexander Nanta Linggi, who is Kapit Member of Parliament.
Later the same day, Mara held another event at Rumah Empawi, Nanga Sekukut in Sungai Yong for its Mara Golden Heart Skills Programme, which started on Nov 15.
People's Tuition Programme
Schoolmates Dayang Nur Afifahamizah and Allan Kedit from SMK Kapit noticed that they scored higher marks in several subjects this time around compared to their previous Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) trial examination results.
For the past few months, Dayang, Allan and their schoolmates had been attending PTR, a programme by Mara under the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKLW), held at the school at the end of formal class sessions.
"I did not score that well in Science, Mathematics and Bahasa Malaysia previously. Luckily, I was selected for the tuition programme and I can see improvements in the three subjects now," said Dayang.
Allan, who was weak in some SPM core subjects, said he was happy when he received the trial examination results recently.
"My marks in History and Bahasa Malaysia are better than last time," he said. Both Dayang and Allan also expressed their confidence to perform better when they sit for SPM soon.
PTR teacher coordinator for Kapit District Sidek Pawi said overall, the programme enabled teachers to identify students' weaknesses in core subjects for SPM.
Nanta, meanwhile, said PTR was an initiative by KKLW to improve academic performance of students from low-income families, or B40 group, whose household monthly income is below RM3,500.
He explained that the aim was to help ease the burden of parents by providing free tuition for their children, particularly those sitting for Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and SPM examinations in rural areas.
He said PTR was started in 2016 based on the corporate social responsibility (CSR) concept and implemented through collaboration with many agencies under KKLW.
" For this year, the ministry has allocated RM9.2 million with the target of 30,000 students in 400 PTR centres.
"To-date, we have 565 centres providing free services to 28,720 SPM and UPSR students.
This figure is increasing from time to time.
"In Sarawak alone, there are six tuition centres in six KKLW's tuition, skills programmes pave the way for a better future parliamentary constituencies, namely Bandar Kuching, Petra Jaya, Betong, Mukah, Kapit and Santubong.
"The tuition classes focus on effective learning techniques, revision and exercise for five core subjects, techniques to answer examination questions and parliamentary constituencies, namely Bandar Kuching, Petra Jaya, Betong, Mukah, Kapit and Santubong. "The tuition classes focus on effective learning techniques, revision and exercise for five core subjects, techniques to answer examination questions and motivation for students and parents," Nanta said.
Mara Golden Heart Skills Programme The programme was undertaken by Mara Skills Institute (IKM) Bintulu where they implemented a farming project called 'Development of Urban Farming System' for the 35-door Rumah Empawi.
According to Nanta, the project combined a greenhouse unit, aquaponics system, fertigation system, water harvesting and cooling system and solar energy for new farming method.
"These are among some of the innovative changes introduced by IKM Bintulu in bringing progress to the rural population in Kapit.
"This programme would ensure that local communities will continue to benefit from knowledge-sharing and be more knowledgeable in order to become a more effective and progressive society," he said when officiating at the closing of the programme.
Meanwhile, project coordinator Michael Jangi said 43 IKM Bintulu lecturers and trainees had been involved in the project sited on a piece of land near Rumah Empawi.
He also commended the good participation from longhouse residents towards the project.
Michael hoped the longhouse residents will make good use of the RM15,000 project which will ultimately benefit them through modern way of farming.

I'm back from four days in London, exhausted but happy. I seem to have done nothing but eat and talk – though I did a lot of walking as well and amazingly when I weighed myself this morning I'd lost a couple of pounds. I definitely need to keep up the walking!!!
DH came with me but he did his own thing while I had the arduous task of sitting through three very wonderful meals! The first night ten of us had dinner in the hotel, which was Victorian built and full of elegant splendour. The wine flowed and most stayed up until one thirty chatting – but I had a man in my room! – so I left about 11.30.
The next day was the AMBA luncheon (The Association of Mills & Boon Authors) where again it was excellent food in a very atmospheric setting, (thankyou Michelle and Sharon for organising it). This was followed by a champagne toast to the authors where Karin Stoeker presented me with a very beautiful silver Tiffany key chain in recognition of my 75th book.
And on Friday, Karin took me out for another celebratory lunch in Richmond with my editor Meg and my previous editor Emily (who still edits some of my books) We went to an Italian restaurant and the food was superb. I left feeling like a queen. It was a wonderful few days.
To top it off DH and I went to see Dirty Dancing at the Aldwych Theatre on Friday evening. A superb show which followed very closely the theme of the film. I loved Patrick Swayze in the film – such a shame he is no longer with us. He was a fine actor.
And that's it. It's now back to reality. To fighting with a book that is refusing to be written.

GTX 1060 keeps on kicking
Despite the market for graphics cards being disrupted by the cryptocurrency mining craze, board partners like Galax continue to build high quality options for gamers...if they can get their hands on them. We recently received a new Galax GTX 1060 EXOC White 6GB card that offers impressive performance and features as well as a visual style to help it stand out from the crowd.
We have worked with GeForce GTX 1060 graphics cards quite a bit on PC Perspective, so there is not a need to dive into the history of the GPU itself. If you need a refresher on this GP106 GPU, where it stands in the pantheon on the current GPU market, check out my launch review of the GTX 1060 from last year. The release of AMD's Radeon RX 580 did change things a bit in the market landscape, so that review might be worth looking at too.
Our quick review at the Galax GTX 1060 EXOC White will look at performance (briefly), overclocking, and cost. But first, let's take a look at this thing.
The Galax GTX 1060 EXOC White
As the name implies, the EXOC White card from Galax is both overclocked and uses a white fan shroud to add a little flair to the design. The PCB is a standard black color, but with the fan and back plate both a bright white, the card will be a point of interest for nearly any PC build. Pairing this with a white-accented motherboard, like the recent ASUS Prime series, would be an excellent visual combination.
The fans on the EXOC White have clear-ish white blades that are illuminated by the white LEDs that shine through the fan openings on the shroud.
The cooler that Galax has implemented is substantial, with three heatpipes used to distribute the load from the GPU across the fins. There is a 6-pin power connector (standard for the GTX 1060) but that doesn't appear to hold back the overclocking capability of the GPU.
There is a lot of detail on the heatsink shroud – and either you like it or you don't.
Galax has included a white backplate that doubles as artistic style and heatsink. I do think that with most users' cases showcasing the rear of the graphics card more than the front, a good quality back plate is a big selling point.
The output connectivity includes a pair of DVI ports, a full-size HDMI and a full-size DisplayPort; more than enough for nearly any buyer of this class of GPU.

Not sure if it helps and don't know how it works, but you can share a parent spring context between web apps. For sure, this might create deployment problems in some environments where you can deploy wars only. But perhaps it makes sense to further investigate there? Carsten

Shocking Facts About Gaming Blog.

Cheat codes in video games used to be rare. However there are other cheats a designer may incorporate that would collapse under a area on aroma. Following your charred remains have somehow reanimated themselves due to video-game respawn magic, you may discover that since you failed the assignment, the game will boot you back to a previous checkpoint in which you still had all that cash, unspent – but you get to keep the upgrades.
Examples of cheats at first-person shooter games incorporate the aimbot , which aids the player in planning at the goal, providing the user an unfair advantage, the wallhack , that permits a player to view sound or opaque objects or manipulate or remove textures, and ESP , with which the information of different players is exhibited.
I wished to find out how the cheating company worked, so I became a believer myself. In the dialog that opens, you can enter a name for the cheat (to spot it in the Select Cheat menu), in addition to the code itself. In June 1997, codes such as DULLARD came to exist in the varytale npmjs first location Amrich landed his dream job and learned.
Because the instrument is spammed by a lot of bad men so many occasions BTW, you asked for Individual Verification. Collect free coins to your House of Fun App in your cell telephone (Android, iOS, Windows, etc.. .) . The simplest and legit way to get coins that are free. When you enter into the tunnel move the control down and up several times, making down your move.
In the early days of this "Atari Code" to that which I grew up with (NFL Blitz, Rampage, Goldeneye, Tony Hawk), almost every match had some type of code that you could enter to change the game mode, give players giant heads, get unlimited gold, etc.. Although this was more common in the past, modern games are developed with robustness against network and packet modifications, and the terms of service for most games prohibit this kind of cheating.
Codes enabled players when they got stuck, gave them some interesting to talk about (or hold on the heads of) friends, and let them explore every nook and cranny. If the player does not play the piano, then she or he can't advance through the game. However, prior to beginning building their city in the event the cheat was triggered by the player, forest fires that are only would have to be extinguished than bulldozing and rebuilding damaged areas of the city.

That this is the execute() function that will submit your request. So you can work continuously with your object before calling execute() function.
SillySmart 1.0.7 introduces 33 new features & bug fixes.
To browse the full list, check the roadmap :
We can now choose a default action foreach Controller.
We can access to this default action by only informing the Controller in the URL.
For exemple, http://vhost.domain.tld/Home/ reroute on http://vhost.domain.tld/Home/Index
Creating a system of filters on Model.
Assign a filter on a column allow to filter the values passed automatically to different setters before the validation process (native types, specific types, integrity constraints, uniqueness, etc.).
The filters are cumulative and process in the order they were completed.
Available filters:
We can specify filters at Model level:
The specific type IP address can now be declined in 3 variants (IP V4, IP V6, both)
On multilingual Model, you can now specify any column as not multilingual. This avoids to appear these columns on User Bo only on the default language. This is the value entered in this language that will be cloned in all the other languages of your application.
- No multilingual fields not appear more in other languages than the default.
- Adding a new JS generic object containing all columns, their types, their specific types, their constraints, filters, etc.. This object is called slsBoBuild :
var slsBoBuild = { 'langs' : { 'en' : { 'user_email' : { 'id' : 'user_email_en', 'required' : true, 'max_length' : 255, 'label' : 'Email', 'type' : 'string', 'filters' : ['lower', 'trim'], 'specific_type' : 'email' }, /* ... */ } } };
New class for formatting comparison expressions used in SQL queries.
New class to create complex MySQL queries.
The following code examples show all the functions you can use to construct queries.
The expr() function of SLS_QueryBuilder2 class is a interface function with SLS_ExprBuilder1 class.

Gentle care
This was my second time at New Leaf Dental in a month. My teeth are in poor shape due to no dental insurance for years. The hygienist gave a very thorough cleaning yet was patient and kind when my anxiety took over. Thank you for a great second visit!

Since I take NO pain medicine, I can tell you honestly that my dentist is very gentle and is Nice on top of that!! Her staff is A+ - her assistant is the best any one could hope for and the hygienist is the Greatest at helping me keep up with my oral care. Everyone is personable and friendly. I would highly recommend the dental office without hesitation to anyone and I have!

Compassionate care
It has been several years since I was in a dentists chair. And today was my first appointment. I have high anxiety when going to the dentist and this, combined with poor/no insurance, made a visit an impossibility. The staff was kind, compassionate and very gentle. Highly recommend!

I've been crowned!
Cami and her assistant make the front run efficiently with a smile. - The new dentist is friendly, expert, and knowledgeable. - And Lisa, the long time dental assistant, is, as always, the star of the show. Friendly, funny, full of expertise and competency, she is willing and able to explain each step of the procedure. She makes an unpleasant experience bearable.

I had an appointment at New Leaf Dental on Nov. 1, 2017. I had X-rays and consultation about dental care of my 74 year-old set of teeth !!! The staff was very knowledgable and explained all procedures in a way that I could understand. Friendly and professional.

Excellent Service
I now have a brand new temporary crown. For me, there is nothing fun about getting a new crown, long spells in the chair, all sorts of gadgets in your mouth, breathing through your nose with water running down your throat and the grinding... But the end results is what is important, my temp crown works great and my bite feels like it's normal cockeyed self. Thank you Dr Haidu and Lisa, super work. On to the permanent crown.

Professional and friendly
I had a great experience here today. I had not had a cleaning in a year and had my 3 year old with me, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. But very knowledgeable and friendly; answered all my questions and not at all bothered by my son in the room with us. Reception staff was also very friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone- with kids or without.

BLOCKBUSTER Total Access™ Plan that includes Unlimited Online DVDs 3 at a time plus up to 5 free* in-store exchanges for $17.99/month…
Unlimited Online DVDs up to 3 at a time plus unlimited in-store exchanges each month for $24.99…
Subscribers who pay for just two DVDs a month, at a rate of $4.99, will have access to two hours of streaming video for free…
Subscribers can stream as many movies and television shows as they want, with no additional charge…the unlimited rental plans start at $8.99 a month.
Netflix's streaming service works only on PCs with Microsoft's Internet Explorer…internet connections with speeds of at least 3 megabits per second is recommended to get DVD-quality video…
"Vongo Membership provides unlimited downloads (on up to three registered devices) for just $9.99 per month…"
"…certain releases are available for pay-per-view; they incur a separate fee, ranging from 99 cents to $3.99, and are only viewable for 24 hours from the time you press Play. Users also have access to a streaming version of the Starz movie channel."
Series S and Series V Gigabeat devices from Toshiba Corporation had support for use with Vongo.
Again, keep in mind, this is information I gathered months ago when I had time to compare the services.
Would I use Vongo? Maybe. I prefer DVDs for reasons such as:
they contain "extras"…
I can use them on multiple devices…
and I don't need to be connected to the internet.

Rebecca Grimwade Brown, L.M.T., NCBTMB Provider
Please contact Becca directly to schedule an appointment. Her number is (773) 230-7099 and her email address is email@example.com.
Rebecca Grimwade Brown's exposure to healing touch first came at the age of five. She learned then that, no matter the situation, everyone benefits from nurturing touch. This truth stayed with her and led her to the field of massage therapy. Rebecca graduated from the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 2003 and developed a speciality in both clinical and prenatal massage therapy. In 2008, she became a teacher at the New School of Massage Therapy, where she taught anatomy, physiology, clinical massage, and sports massage. Rebecca became an approved provider with the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) in 2011 and teaches continuing education to massage therapists, specializing in prenatal massage and Myofascial therapies.
Rebecca customizes each massage according to her client's wants and needs, recognizing that everyone is different and no massage is the same. She believes in the benefits of combining self care with other supportive modalities, including chiropractic, acupuncture and physical therapy.
In 2006, Rebecca attended her first birth as her sister's doula. Four years later, she had a water birth with her own daughter, Sera Marley, at West Suburban Hospital. Inspired by her massage training and these experiences, Rebecca attended a Doula of North America (DONA) approved doula training in July of 2014, and has since attended several births in the Chicagoland area, including at Prentice Women's Hospital.
For doula clients, Rebecca provides a prenatal visit with an optional prenatal massage, support throughout labor and delivery, and a postpartum visit. She understands that what women want for the birth of their babies is very individual and differs with each client. Rebecca is respectful of each woman's desire to have a medicated or unmedicated birth and will provide support in either situation. As an advocate for the parents, she strives to make the birth of their child a positive experience.
Rebecca lives in the Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago with her husband Phil and their daughter Sera. She has worked at Urban Oasis since 2004, maintains a private practice at Lakeview Physical Therapy, and provides doula services throughout Chicagoland. She enjoys biking and yoga, but most of all she enjoys the adventures of being a mother.

September 15th, 6:30pm
- Arriving in town in the early evening, the trio of relatives (Harvey, Carol Sue, and Goidus) cross paths quickly. Time has clearly left its mark – both on the characters, and on their former hometown.
- Determining that, due to the hour, traveling to the farm could be dangerous, the trio locate The Rusty Pipe, a recently constructed saloon boasting number pipes which break through the walls and roof at odd angles, belching steam. The saloon is quite busy, populated mostly by men in Wasatch Rail workmen's uniforms.
- The conversation quickly makes a turn for the worse when Harvey, who has followed his heart to the priesthood, learns that his younger sister (who announces she prefers "Peaches" to her given name) has taken up as a working woman, having spent the better part of the last decade living in Des Moines, Iowa. As the siblings carry on, Goidus wisely choose not to interfere.
- Unfortunately, not every bar patron is quite so wise. After a short time, a drunken worker begins to make lewd comments at Peaches, a fact which draws both Harvey and Peaches' ire. After a brief exchange in which the worker and his friends attempts to goad Harvey to violence (unsuccessfully), the Wilsons determine the best course of action is to leave, and retire for the evening.
- As they depart, they are followed and accosted by a middle-aged fellow, who quickly introduces himself as "T.R. Fincher, writer extraordinaire". He explains that he witnessed the incident, and was curious to introduce himself to the new arrivals in town. Despite his attempts to charm them, Harvey cuts the man's monologue short, heading up the street to secure a room at the Hotel Homestead,
Later that night…
- Peaches wakes in her hotel room to the sounds of scuffling boots and the jiggling of her door handle. Certain her "friends" from the saloon have decided to pay her a late night visit, she quietly readies herself… Moments later, the lock pops open!
- The first of the randy workers pushes open the door, only to find himself staring at the business end of Peaches' shotgun! He shouts and raises his hands in surrender, but his friends continue to snigger and egg him on, unaware. His shout awakens Harvey in his room next door, however, and Goidus, who both quickly jump from their beds to see what's happening.
- As the boys burst from their rooms, a chaotic struggle begins between them and the drunken workers. While little true contact is made by any of the participants at first, the fight devolves quickly, with knives drawn and Harvey on the ground, grappling with his opponents. Peaches opens up with her 12 gauge on her attacker, sending him straight to Hell, and a lucky(?) swing of the blade by Goidus tears open the face of his attacker, dealing lethal damage. As the remaining workers turn to flee for their lives, they brush past the reporter the gang met earlier, T.R. Fincher, who has just ascended the stairs to catch the aftermath of the event.
- Concerned for the fate of the front deskman, the posse makes its way downstairs – only to discover he is not only alive and well, but has retrieved the Sheriff. They are even more surprised, however, when he points at them accusingly, identifying them as the "troublemakers"! Worse still, the heroes quickly recognize the lawman – Christian Abernathy, the eldest of a trio of local toughs who haunt their childhood memories.
- Prepared for the worst, the posse finds themselves surprised once more when Sheriff Abernathy not only doesn't immediately arrest them, but asks them to sit calmly, and explain their side of the story. After recounting their tale of innocence, and the cause for self-defense, Christian is seeming satisfied. He cautions them not to leave the area, but allows for their travel to the farm. Determined to avoid any further trouble, the characters decide to depart at once for home, despite the darkness and the early morning hour. After all, safety is just a few hours' ride…

Anti-Cellulite Line
The Philosophy of Cosmetics
Natural therapy clinic
Executive committee
Hiruline Corporation
St.Petersburg Bioplant has an over 25 year-long tradition of cultivating medicinal leeches in a special conditions. Our experience and scientific researches of the last years allowed to create a modern technology based on the natural patterns of the animals' life and development cycle and a special nourishment regime.
We also breed a particular type of leech for doctors. Its qualities make it distinctive from that of other manufacturers. For example, it has a relatively high level of aggression & therapeutic effects.
The leeches are bred throughout the year, which has made it possible to increase the volume of production. The high quality has made it allowed to breed queen cells and to grow leeches under preliminary contracts.
Another direction of research at the bioplant, which takes place in conjunction with Hiruline laboratories, is the technology of obtaining goal-specific bio-complexes from leeches. Unique developments have allowed to develop a special variety of anti-aging leeches. They were called "The Emperor's leeches". Today they are utilized in cosmetic line "Perfect skin" and in enhancing rejuvenation-oriented programs of doctor Kamenev.
The bioplant studies the reproduction, growth, various aspects of subsistence of the medicinal leech under synthetic conditions. Observation of the animals in their natural environment, estimating the population size, its dynamics, and the effect of natural and anthropogenic factors are all of great interest.
Cultivation of the medicinal leech is a rather complicated process. The safety of our product is guaranteed by our reputation – many years of collaboration with hundreds of doctors, clinics and pharmacies. We possess all the necessary documentation that verifies the quality of our product.
The queen forms the foundation of leech breeding. They are grown in a special manner, and are able to give a large brood. A queen is different from a regular leech – it is larger and lazier. They are also active during the sexual act. This allows to achieve a "pregnancy" and laying of cocoons, thus raising the fertility of the herd.
Laying of cocoons. It's curious that once the cocoons are laid, the leech does not travel far from them, as if protecting the germs. The reasons for such behavior are still unclear.
Cocoons and newborn leeches. Right after birth leeches are ready to attack and obtain food for themselves.
The newborn leech has to eat well in order to grow fast. The best will become the queen herd for the future generation.

History & Mission
The concept of a certification program for Clinical Lipidologists was spearheaded by the National Lipid Association to provide opportunities for professional development and formal recognition of the specialized expertise of health care professionals focused on lipid management. The American Board of Clinical Lipidology (ABCL) was incorporated as an independent organization in 2003 to develop and administer the certification examination. Although the ABCL is now a self-governing and separate entity from the NLA, the two organizations work collaboratively to ensure that there are adequate educational and professional development opportunities for Clinical Lipidologists to help them meet the prerequisites of the ABCL certifying examination.
The clinical practice of Lipidology refers to the delivery of direct patient care on a substantial basis. Chart review, basic research, administration, and other non-clinical activities are not considered direct involvement in the delivery of patient care.
The Mission of the ABCL is to reduce morbidity and mortality from dyslipidemia and related diseases by certifying and evaluating knowledge and training in Clinical Lipidology.

You Should Take It Personally.
"It's just business - not personal." "We had to make a decision. Don't take it personally."
Ever heard that before? Ever been told that you shouldn't get upset over a disappointing decision because it wasn't "personal"?
Somehow you're overreacting. Overly emotional. Broken. Flawed. Wasting your time on hurt feelings and righteous outrage.
You're supposed to get over it.
Maybe that's where you went wrong in the past.
You got over it a little too quickly. You dried your tears too quickly. You moved on to the next thing too quickly.
And wasted the rage burning inside you.
Passion and longevity are invaluable commodities you need in the battle ahead.
You're going to get beat down and bullied.
You're going to face some of the darkest moments of your life as you progress from where you are right now to where you eventually want to be.
You're going to face rejection and bigotry.
Failure, deceit, and people who break the rules just to keep you down.
In the fog of the battle it's easy to go through the day with a stunned expression on your face - a fatalistic sense that no matter what you do it's never going to get any better.
Your legs drive you forward but your heart is mired in depression. You've already quit. Given up long ago.
Stop pretending like your battle wounds don't hurt. Stop pretending that things will get better if you just endure the assault. Stop going through the motions and start fighting for your future.
Success is personal. Leadership is personal. Rejection is personal. Winning and losing are personal.
Your life is personal. Every part of it.
It's time you channel your rage into disruption:
- Do something different today than you've never done in the past. Deliberately take risks and do things that scare you.
- Challenge your fears with boldness - even if it costs you something you think you need (like a job or relationship).
- Take quiet time to meditate on where you are at. Be brutally honest about your attitude, aptitude, and abilities.
- Smile at your critics. Laugh at the cynics, skeptics, and creeps. Do it instead of crying when no one can see you.
Take back control - at work, school, church, and home.
Anywhere you are. Anything you do. Take it personally.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Jerry Baik (pictured above), Supervising Assistant City Attorney of the Identity Theft and Fraud Unit, prosecutes cases where counterfeit (fake) goods are seized. When the case is over and the defendant is convicted, the counterfeit goods are destroyed - that's the law according to Penal Code Section 350, and Jerry wants to change it.
Counterfeit goods come in all shapes and sizes, from the infamous fake Rolex watches through fake Louis Vuitton purses, fake Ralph Lauren Polo shirts, fake Nike trainers, and fake Mattel brand toys. You name it, they fake it; it's multi million dollar a year criminal enterprise.
While Jerry Baik and his Unit was busy prosecuting counterfeiters, he received a call from Ruth Schwartz who runs the Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank.
The Shelter Resource Bank is a non-profit agency that distributes donated goods to the thousands of homeless people living in shelters in Los Angeles; people so poor they cannot afford a pair of shoes or T-Shirt.
The Shelter Resource Bank's warehouse is an impressive facility, but there's never enough of the basic needs for Los Angeles' most needy; clothes and shoes and maybe a present for a little holiday cheer. So Ruth had an idea; instead of destroying seized counterfeit merchandise, like clothes and trainers, why not donate them to the Shelter Resource Bank where they can be given to those who need them the most?
Ruth contacted Jerry Baik and asked him if it would be possible to use counterfeit goods in that way. Jerry had bad news for Ruth; the law commands destruction of counterfeit merchandise. "Can't anything be done?" asked Ruth, "it's such a waste." Jerry's answer was "Yes. Change the law!"
Ruth and Jerry worked together on the project; Ruth had to find someone in Sacramento who could propose a change in the law, and Jerry had to write the amendment. Ruth found a sympathetic ear in the form of State Senator Gilbert "Gil" Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) who succeeded in getting Jerry's amendment to Penal Code Section 350 passed in both Houses. The Bill awaits the signature of Governor Schwarzenegger, and anxious to move the process along, Ruth and Sen. Cedillo's staff arranged a Press Release on the roof of Skid Row's Union Rescue Mission for Sen. Cedillo and City Attorney Carmen Trutanich.
And so it was that on Wednesday morning, Los Angeles City Attorney's Office Public Information Officer, Frank Mateljan paced Skid Row apprehensively outside the Mission, waiting for the Senator and the City Attorney to arrive.
It wasn't long before they arrived and were soon engaged in deep discussions as to how to make the most of the proposed change in the law.
Above (left to right), Ruth Schwartz, from the Shelter Resource Bank), Deputy City Attorney Jerry Baik, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, and Senator Gil Cedillo.
In the uncharacteristically blistering heat of a September morning, Sen. Cedillo spoke of how this change in the law could change the lives of so many needy people.
City Attorney Carmen Trutanich spoke passionately about his childhood. As one of five children of a cannery worker, he knew how precious a gift could be, and if there were counterfeit and donated toys and clothes that could safely be given to our most needy families, he urged Governor Schwarzenegger to sign the Bill to make that happen.
After the speeches were over, the City Attorney met with another one of his deputies; Songhai Miguda-Armstead, Assistant Supervising City Attorney of the Safe Neighborhood Division's Skid Row Project, and LAPD Officer McCain.
Before leaving for his next engagement, the City Attorney paused to greet a young boy, one of the many homeless children at the Union Rescue Mission. Nuch couldn't resist a 'High Five'....
Pity this one didn't make the front page of the LA Times.
The City Attorney didn't have to go far for his next engagement. Frank Mateljan had arranged with the Mission's Carrie Gatlin to use her office for a radio interview with Larry Mantel on his show, AirTalk on KPCC 89.3FM.
Frank got Larry on the line, and we left Nuch to debate Larry over recent events at the City Attorney's Office.
