Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources.
Put irrigation at the core of water proposal
April 14, 2005
Purchase and consolidation of ranch lands and wetlands above Upper Klamath Lake to store water and provide fish habitat sounds promising as a step toward solution of some of the Basin's water problems.
It has to be done, though, in a way that makes sure that the responsibility to provide water for irrigation is one of the core management components.
Being proposed is the purchase of the 2,671-acre Barnes Ranch by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and either the transfer of lands by the Wildlife Service of the 7,159-acre Agency Lake Ranch from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, or joint management of the Agency ranch with the Bureau.
The properties are on the northern edge of Upper Klamath Lake, just west of Agency Lake, which is an arm of Upper Klamath Lake.
One of the advantages of the proposal is that it would maximize water storage on the Agency Lake Ranch. Storage there is limited because the Barnes Ranch is next to it, and the Barnes Ranch is used for pasturing cattle. Maximum water storage on the Agency Lake Ranch can't take place without also flooding the privately owned Barnes Ranch.
Another advantage of the proposal is that it could streamline management of the lands.
The major downsides appear to be the loss of property taxes to the county and its taxing districts from the conversion of private lands to public lands, and the loss of some economic activity because cattle wouldn't be coming to the Barnes Ranch to spend the summer grazing.
But losses of that magnitude could come anyway, as the attacks continue on Upper Klamath Basin agriculture.
It's important that the Basin move ahead to solve its water problems, even though it's disturbing that there's no overall plan with benchmarks agreed to by those in both the upper and lower Klamath Basin. The Upper Basin should get credit not just for what it does in the future, but for what it's already done in converting thousands of acres of farm lands to wetlands.
It's also important that the intent to store water and serve irrigators along with fish and wildlife is made plain and becomes part of the institutional memory for the management of lands.
Even clearly defined rights haven't saved the lease lands at Lower Klamath and Tule Lake national wildlife refuges from being continually attacked, even though agricultural use of the lands goes far back into history - in some cases predating the refuges - and is well established by law.
This is why it's important to strongly affirm agriculture's place in line when it comes to establishing more wetlands. There should be no doubt that significant amounts of water should be managed in a way that benefits agriculture. That has to be a commitment.

Wikipedia site states that David Ronsehan conducted this experiment in 1973, where he sent volunteers into Psychiatric hospitals , to prove that the diagnostic and treatment regime was no good. it says this
Rosenhan himself and eight mentally healthy associates, called "pseudopatients", attempted to gain admission to psychiatric hospitals by calling for an appointment and feigning auditory hallucinations. The hospital staffs were not informed of the experiment. The pseudopatients were a psychology graduate student in his twenties, three psychologists, a pediatrician, a psychiatrist, a painter and a housewife. None had a history of mental illness. Pseudopatients used pseudonyms, and those who worked in the mental health field were given false jobs in a different sector to avoid invoking any special treatment or scrutiny. Apart from giving false names and employment details, further biographical details were truthfully reported.
During their initial psychiatric assessment, they claimed to be hearing voices of the same sex as the patient which were often unclear, but which seemed to pronounce the words "empty", "hollow", "thud" and nothing else. These words were chosen as they vaguely suggest some sort of existential crisis and for the lack of any published literature referencing them aspsychotic symptoms. No other psychiatric symptoms were claimed. If admitted, the pseudopatients were instructed to "act normally," report that they felt fine and no longer heard voices. Hospital records obtained after the experiment indicate that all pseudopatients were characterized as friendly and cooperative by staff.
All were admitted, to 12 different psychiatric hospitals across the United States, including rundown and underfunded public hospitals in rural areas, urban university-run hospitals with excellent reputations, and one expensive private hospital. Though presented with identical symptoms, 11 were diagnosed with schizophrenia at public hospitals, and one with manic-depressive psychosis, a more optimistic diagnosis with better clinical outcomes, at the private hospital. Their stays ranged from 7 to 52 days, and the average was 19 days. All were discharged with a diagnosis of schizophrenia "in remission," which Rosenhan takes as evidence that mental illness is perceived as an irreversible condition creating a lifelong stigma rather than a curable illness.
Then in a twist when one hospital claimed that there is no way they would so such a thing, he did this:
The non-existent impostor experiment
For this experiment, Rosenhan used a well-known research and teaching hospital, whose staff had heard of the results of the initial study but claimed that similar errors could not be made at their institution. Rosenhan arranged with them that during a three month period, one or more pseudopatients would attempt to gain admission and the staff would rate every incoming patient as to the likelihood they were an impostor. Out of 193 patients, 41 were considered to be impostors and a further 42 were considered suspect. In reality, Rosenhan had sent no pseudopatients and all patients suspected as impostors by the hospital staff were genuine patients. This led to a conclusion that "any diagnostic process that lends itself too readily to massive errors of this sort cannot be a very reliable one". Studies by others found similarly problematic diagnostic results.
He published the results in SCIENCE.
Here is an excerpt from the BBC Documentary THE TRAP, about it.

The Zombies | Friedrich Sunlight
7 pm Friedrich Sunlight
8.30 pm The Zombies
10 pm Submarine (film)
Using a dreamy mixture of classical, jazz, and rhythm & blues The Zombies have been enchanting beat audiences since 1964.
After hits like She's Not There and Tell Her No, however, commercial success was over. Their masterpiece Odessey and Oracle is today mentioned in the same breath as the visionary Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys; but by the time it was released in 1968 the band had already broken up. To celebrate the album's 50th birthday four of the original five members will play the entire album plus their greatest hits, with a little help from musicians of Brian Wilson's touring band.
Friedrich Sunlight
The quite bearable lightness of being: Friedrich Sunlight play sunshine pop, whose breezy melodies and babadaba background choirs conceal the complex arrangements behind them. References to 1960s British pop can be heard. But the band around Brent Kitahama, who left his Californian home for Augsburg, expands its music around German lyrics, bringing in another reference pointing to Manfred Krug's chansons. They see themselves as a counter-proposal to the scene of discourse pop—encasing the hard German language in a velvety bed of music.

Video: Ark. LEO risks life to save baby during standoff with armed dad
Officer Brittany Godfrey was able to save a baby girl from her armed father
By Police1 Staff
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — An Arkansas officer pulled a baby to safety during a highway pursuit and standoff.
According to USA Today, Little Rock Arkansas Police Officer Brittany Godfrey was able to save a baby girl from her armed father, who allegedly fired shots at his girlfriend before leading police on a highway pursuit.
The suspect, identified as 43-year-old Farris Deloney, was being pursued by police after being accused of kidnapping his 1-year-old daughter from a Walmart parking lot. In a video released by the Little Rock Police Department, Deloney's vehicle can be seen stopping after being jammed at a traffic light.
Five officers surrounded Deloney's vehicle noting he had a gun. They pleaded for him to put the gun down and remove the baby from the car.
On video, Godfrey can be heard asking Deloney to take the baby out of the car. She was able to grab her from the passenger seat and move her away from the standoff, and a few minutes later, officers successfully deescalated the situation and convinced Deloney to surrender.
The suspect pleaded not guilty of kidnapping, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a minor.

For 24 years, PUC has hosted PacificQuest annually during the summer, inviting high-achieving middle school students to campus to participate in various STEM activities to enhance their knowledge and interest. The program was an instant success with both participating teachers and students, and has remained hugely popular over the years. The only downside? Once a student graduates 8th grade, they can no longer attend PacificQuest.
"The PacificQuest students and parents have been asking for years for a similar program for academy and high school students," says Aimee Wyrick, chair of the department of biology and event coordinator. "With the support of PacificQuest alumni and union schools, we finally had the resources to make it happen this year."
And so, in July, for the first time ever, PUC hosted PQ Rise, a similar program to PacificQuest, but for high school students.
"I loved the three years of Pacific Quest I did so much, that when I saw an opportunity to do it for another summer, I was ecstatic," enthuses Sofia Rasi, sophomore at Monterey Bay Academy.
Though she wasn't entirely sure what to expect, Rasi suspected the classes would be slightly more challenging and the curriculum enriched. She wasn't disappointed.
"I must say, our activities felt really above and beyond," Rasi says. "We took field trips and watched exciting demonstrations. My high expectations were definitely met."
Vola Andrianarijaona, physics professor, covered that portion of PQ Rise, teaching students the physics of sound. They explored wavelengths, the speed of sound, the physics of explosions and implosions, all in the form of experimental and laboratory activities.
"For those who had attended PacificQuest in the past, PQ Rise strengthened their connection to PUC even more," he says. "I'm always excited to get kids excited about physics, and appreciate this opportunity PUC provides to promote STEM."
Andrea Vargas, sophomore at Loma Linda Academy, didn't know what to expect at PQ Rise. She thought maybe there would be an extremely strict schedule, early wake-up calls, and "a bunch of intimidating kid geniuses." She was pleasantly surprised by what she encountered once the event started.
"All of those absurd notions were anything but true," she says with a laugh. "I think I can venture to say my week at PQ Rise was one of the best of my life. We had great organized schedules that included a lot of free time to bond with the other incredibly friendly students there, and all the classes were unimaginably good. I learned so much."
In chemistry, PQ Rise students learned about chemical reactions. PacificQuest attendees have learned in the past about molecular structure, so they simply built on that foundation and explored conservation of mass, balancing reactions, reaction stoichiometry, energy involved in reactions, and rates of reactions. All of this was centered around exploring chemical reactions in the lab.
"The students who come to these events are very bright," says Kent Davis, chair of the department of chemistry. "PQ Rise is built to stretch them to learn things beyond what they have experienced so far."
Vargas, who is fascinated by science in general, found herself entranced by the physics portion of the event.
"I was mesmerized by the fact that you can measure the speed of sound, simply by using a frequency generator, a glass tube, some cork dust, and a ruler," she says. "All of the labs were engaging, educational, and entertaining."
PacificQuest and PQ Rise aren't just for students; the teachers who attend go home with new ideas and inspiration for improving their own STEM courses.
"It is also a useful exercise for teachers," Davis points out, "in figuring out how to teach something meaningful in a few hours to students who have little to no background in the subject."
Wyrick came out of the event feeling very positive.
"The inaugural 2019 PQ Rise program proved to us that this is a winning idea," she says. "PQ Rise will continue to provide transformational experiences to this older group of students," and we're excited to continue to build it."
Will the students who came to the inaugural year of PQ Rise return for a second year?
"Absolutely," Rasi says without hesitation. "I would love to come back for my fifth year of summer STEM at PUC because I have seen how much positive impact this camp has had on my life. I can't wait for next year!"
For information about bringing students to future PacificQuest or PQ Rise events, contact Wyrick at email@example.com.

How good is the book, Tell Me Three Things?
January 20, 2021
Julie Buxbaum, a successful author, has written and published a variety of novels. The teen romance novel, Tell Me Three Things, was published on April 15, 2016. Ever since the release of this novel, people all over the world have bought copies.
Meet the author
The author, Julie Buxbaum is an author of many well-known novels. Some of her novels include After you, and What to say next. Originally a lawyer, she realized that being an author was best for her. After receiving A New York Times Bestseller for Tell Me Three Things, it motivated her to continue writing. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her family and is continuing to pursue her career in writing books.
Jessie Homes, a teenage girl starts a new school, knowing no one but her step-brother, the janitor. Mourning the death of her mother, and overwhelmed by her new home, she doesn't blend in. Jessie goes to school one day after a few days of going to her new school and receives an anonymous message from someone. The message instantly caught her attention as she saw that it was from Somebody Nobody ([email protected]). The anonymous writer and Jessie build a friendship over the computer but it still leaves Jessie wondering who the person is. This friendship then evolves into something more over time. It is only a matter of time in which the name is revealed, leaving some readers shocked.
After reading this teen romance novel for the second time, I fell in love with it all over again. The novel is very well written and overall has a very good storyline. The emailing back and forth did however get boring after a while. But as the story continued the communication between the two became more interesting. I truly enjoyed this book and would definitely read it again. As for other reader's opinions, they seem to feel the same way as me. On Goodreaders.com many comments/reviews include words such as, "loved it," and "funny," along with "delightful." One of my favorite comments is "Where can I find myself a SN???????" All in all, between my opinion and the opinion of others, it was a pretty good book.
Overall, the novel Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum was a very well written teen romance novel. Many reviews on various websites were positive, not to mention the fact that the novel won A New York Times Bestseller. The novel is perfect for high school teens interested in romance. The author incorporated some comedy into the novel, which makes it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Tell Me Three Things, I would not hesitate to pick it up again and read it from start to finish.

French Montana celebrated his 30th birthday last night with a
few friends slew of reality TV stars. Naturally, where there are cameras, there are Kardashians.
Khloe Kardashian chose to forgo all underwear and wore a practically sheer Grecian-style dress, showing off a slit nearly up to her navel and a nipple here or there, on her body. Kim Kardashian wore her usual dim bulb blank stare on her face. Kris Jenner wore her new boy toy on her arm.
Apparently no party or event is complete these days without Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley, so they were there, as were Joanna Krupa and Romain Zago, Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd, Shiva Safai and Mohamed Hadid, Lilly Ghalichi and Dhar Mann, Snoop Dogg, and more.
ETA: Thanks to one of our readers, Vicky, for sharing that French, Mohamed, and Sean celebrated their birthdays together. The guest list makes a lot more sense now. 🙂

Towing Floating Wind Turbines to Provide Ship Propulsion
Advancing technical innovation in wind power conversion has produced turbines capable of delivering 14,000 kW of power output. Ongoing developments in offshore floating wind power generation combined with water tank vessel stability technology offer the possibility of ultra-large turbines providing ship propulsion.
Windmill-powered vessels have been around for some 40 years. One example of such a vessel carrying a deck mounted windmill sailed directly into a headwind to wind a race amongst wind powered sail boats. While sailboats lean over in response to the wind, pumping water between vessel mounted tanks has proven to reduce vessel rolling tendencies. Deck mounted sails and airborne flying kite sails are very helpful to vessels either sailing with a crosswind or parallel to the wind direction. So far, windmill powered vessels have proven capable of sailing a vessel directly into a headwind.
Towed Energy Source
Research needs to explore the possibility of developing a floating technology capable of carrying a mega-size wind turbine that can be towed across ocean by a large vessel, while providing propulsive energy to such a vessel. In integrated/articulated tug-barge technology involves a tug unit pushing and navigation a barge. An alternative concept would involve a twin-hull catamaran vessel carrying a diesel-electric generator to provide electric power to propellers installed under the hull of the barge. There would be scope to replace the diesel-electric generator with vanadium flow-battery technology or even liquid air energy storage to provide electric power.
While most of the electric power would go to the main or leading unit, a small amount of power would be allocated to electrically driven propellers installed on the towed unit. Such an arrangement would greatly reduce tension stress loadings on the towing cable and allow for relative pitching, relative roll, relative yaw and relative surge between the forward and trailing vessels. Availability of suitable winds in some regions internationally would allow for the installation of a wind turbine on the trailing vessel, to generate electric power when the vessel combination sails into a headwind.
Drag and Stability
There are several methods by which to stabilize offshore floating wind turbines, the main methods being buoyancy and ballast for mobile turbines. Some racing yachts have used a hydrodynamic heavy weight installed at the bottom of the keel to offer a measure of stability when sailing in severe crosswinds. Where additional weight is allowed, transferring water amongst strategically placed tanks also offers a stabilizing method. A trio of strategically placed small-water-area hulls may carry a mobile floating turbine, with the option of additional ballast and water transfer technology to cope with the combination of severe wind and wave conditions.
The main application of towed floating wind turbines would be to provide energy when sailing into headwinds. Airborne kite sails would provide a measure of propulsion when sailing parallel to the trade winds. Mobile floating wind turbines would be secured at special offshore mooring sites located near main ports, with energy from a local power generation assist vessel supplying propulsive energy to a ship as it moves between port and the offshore mooring site. Moored wind turbines could connect via submerged power cable to the port or local electric power grid.
Scale of Turbine
Offshore mooring of mobile wind turbines would allow great flexibility in terms of overall height and sailing width, where hulls might be spaced more than 300 feet apart. A single cable or multiple cables would connect between the structure of the turbine assembly and the stern of the vessel to which the turbine supplies electrical power. While the three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) would be the natural if not obvious choice, advances are occurring in the development of more efficient vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), with the typhoon technology from CHALLENERGY from Japan showing promise.
Vertical-Axis Turbine
While horizontal-axis turbines carry the electrical generator and gearing at high elevation, vertical-axis can carry much heavier electrical generation equipment and related gearing at much lower elevation and closer to water level. Traditional vertical-axis turbines have operated mainly in "push" mode on the upwind side of each section while horizontal-axis "propeller" turbines operate with the combination of "push" mode on the upwind side and "pull" mode on the downwind side, comparable to the low-pressure zone on the upper surface of the wing of an airplane in flight. However, new research is bringing about change.
The CHALLENERGY vertical-axis typhoon turbine uses Flettner Rotors with trailing fins installed at a distance from the central-axis of a vertical driveshaft that in turn drives electrical generation equipment. Wind spins the rotors causing torque, with peak torque actually occurring at just about zero RPM. The horizontal load of a large-scale typhoon turbine assembly can be carried by a curved rail built into the mobile floating turbine carrier, with wheels installed below each Flettner Rotor to ride the circular path on the rail and carry the weight of each rotor. Competing VAWT's have begun to appear and are being tested.
Power Output
Horizontal-axis propeller turbines have been developed to generate up to 14,000 kW at 40 percent conversion efficiency measured against total swept area. In mobile operation, a vertical-axis turbine carrying heavier gearing with a combination of generators placed at low elevation close to water level, can be allowed to produce greater output in powerful winds. The typhoon capable horizontal-axis turbine from General Electric offers 4,200 kW using 117 meter turbine blades. A turbine that produces 1,000 kW from a wind speed of 45 miles per hour could generate over 8,000 kW from a wind blowing at 90 miles per hour.
One of the builders of vertical-axis wind technology offers a slat on each curved section, to briefly produce a low-pressure zone on the surface of the downwind side of each section as the wind pushes on the upwind side. The net result is an increase in power output. A ship that requires 32,000 kW of power to sail at 24 knots would require 4,000 kW to sail at 12 knots and several ship owners are sailing their vessels at that speed. Horizontal-axis and vertical-axis wind turbines are possible contenders for ship propulsion when mounted about a towed floating unit.
Future research will need to develop methods by which to add low-drag mobility to floating wind turbines in a way that assists ship propulsion. While several of the GE horizontal-axis are possible contenders for future ship propulsion using the towed floating turbine method, there are ongoing developments in vertical-axis turbine technology that are overcoming the shortcomings of earlier generation vertical-axis units. Ships propelled by such technology could likely see service on trans-Pacific routes and trans-Atlantic routes.

Finite automata provide one way of specifying regular languages.
Another way of specifying a regular language is to write a regular expression.
An example regular expression appears below:
$(0 \cup 1) 0^\ast$
This regular expression specifies the regular language $\{w \;|\; w \text{ consists of a zero or one followed by any number of zeroes}\}$
$L(R)$ refers to the regular language of the regular expression R.
This refers to classical regular expressions. Programming languages, editors and textual tools support extended regular expressions, which include more features than we will discuss here.
$R$ is a regular expression if $R$ is one of:
This is an inductive definition. It defines a regular expression in terms of smaller expressions until it's broken down to individual characters.
Parenthesis can be omitted, and the order of precedence is: star, concatenation, union.
We usually drop the $\circ$ operator. For example $a \circ b$ is usually just written $ab$.
For convenience, we define $R^+ = RR^\ast$.
We also allow $\Sigma$ to appear in a regular expression which means any single element of the alphabet.
What language do each of the following regular expressions produce?
Regular expressions produce languages in the same class that our automata can recognize, the regular languages.
To show the two are equivalent, we need to show that:
The definition of a regular expression includes 6 cases. We will consider each one in turn.
$R = a \text{ for some } a \in \Sigma$. $L(R) = \{a\}$, and the following NFA recognizes $L(R)$:
$R = \epsilon$. $L(R) = \{\epsilon\}$, and the following NFA recognizes $L(R)$:
$R = \emptyset$. $L(R) = \emptyset$, and the following NFA recognizes $L(R)$:
$R = R_{1} \cup R_{2}$. For this case, we use the same construction which shows how to build an NFA recognizing union:
$R = R_{1} \circ R_{2}$. For this case, we use the same construction which shows how to build an NFA recognizing concatenation:
$R = R_{1}^\ast$. For this case, we use the same construction which shows how to build and NFA recognizing star:
For each regular expression, we can use the definition of a regular expression to guide our construction of an equivalent NFA.
This shows that any regular expression can be converted into an NFA recognizing the same language. We still must show the reverse, that any NFA can be converted into an equivalent regular expression.
Can we use this construction technique to convert the regular expression $(ab \cup a)^\ast$ into an NFA?

William Donald AlbrightWilliam Donald Albright, journalist, agriculturalist (b at South Cayuga, Ont 5 Aug 1881; d at Haney, BC 29 Apr 1946). A graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College (1903), William Albright was assistant editor of the Maritime Farmer (1903-05) and associate editor of the Farmer's Advocate (1905-13) before he homesteaded in the BEAVERLODGE area of northwestern Alberta in 1913.
Being keenly interested in the farming potential and promotion of the region, Albright immediately started conducting agricultural experiments on his own land and quickly established a contract to work part time for the CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM in Ottawa. This subsequently led to the establishment of an experimental substation on his farm in 1917. He was superintendent of the sub-station (1919-41) and director of the Beaverlodge research station (1941-45); his duties included testing potentially profitable forages, cereal crops and farming practices, and encouraging enlightened animal husbandry and the planting of gardens, small fruit, ornamental trees and bushes. William Albright also spent a great deal of time travelling throughout the region lecturing and working to demonstrate that attractive homes, good living conditions and prosperity could be maintained in the PEACE RIVER LOWLAND.

Love American Blend! Can't find it in any store, but thanks to Mom and pops I can order by mail !
Just received my first order from M&P today....and "WOW". I have tried over 100 tobacco vapes over the last 3 years. I vape tobacco almost exclusively and this American Blend is the bomb. I have been looking for something with a good throat hit and this is the best yet. I mean the analog type. Loving this out of the mail. And the tobacco flavor is very pleasant too....kinda dry and airy and rather strong in a very appealing way. Lots vapor with a very good T.H. Perfect. If you miss the taste of what you used to smoke, then this is your vape. Thanks Mom and Pop.
Good tobacco flavor
Very good cigarette taste
A somewhat sweet tobacco flavor
I was a Marlboro red smoker for 40+ years. I started vaping mostly because the side effects of analogs were taking their toll. IMO this is a little heavy on VG but when mixed 50/50 with RYO (which is slightly heavy on PG IMO) it is as close to my old reds as it gets. The combined mix delivers a good amount of vapor with a decent TH without being to harsh. This mixture will be my first choice forever!
Great tobacco taste
I'm an ex-menthol smoker. I started young and smoked over forty years. The only way I quit without driving everyone crazy was to vape. I like to use 2/3 of this American Blend with 1/3 American Blend Menthol to create a vape like a menthol cigarette. This works great because on most menthol blends all you taste is menthol. Thanks to Mom and Pop I have managed over the past few years to drop my nicotine from very high to a low 10 mg. I plan to get it to zero eventually, but still plan to vape. It keeps me calm like smoking used to and I enjoy the taste of their tobacco flavor.
Exceptional tobacco vape
I can't believe how good this juice is. It's tobacco flavor sings, soo smooth and true. Love, love. Really good throat hit.
My fav tobacco flavor from Mom and Pop
My first order from mom and pop consisted of this(American Blend), RYO, 10Forty, and the Virginia Fire Cured. This was BY FAR my favorite of the batch. Wasn't great riiiiiiight out of the bottle, a bit too strong for me. After a day or 2 of steeping it mellowed out so nicely though. A tad perfumey but not too bad and gets better over time. A note to ex-smokers looking for that tobacco taste. This isn't it. It's not that close to be honest. Still very VERY enjoyable
Great vape
Wasnt sure whatto expect but this one lives up to the description. Not an overly strong tobacco but the taste and TH are great, will buy more of this one.

Grieving family members of the two people that were killed in Granisle on April 21, 2016, say they want answers.
Shirley Williams, 73, and her son Jovan Williams, 39, were both killed in the police involved-shooting.
Pearl Williams Garcia was Jovan's aunt and Shirley's sister-in-law. She said what happened in Granisle on April 21 was an "act of injustice."
"It's a tragic event; it's an act of injustice on all sides and the immediate family has taken it very hard," she said. "They are in disbelief and I think the shock is coming in now."
Shirley moved to Burns Lake from Nashville, Tennessee, and made Granisle her home about 12 years ago. Garcia said her sister-in-law was an avid gardener and had a "heart of gold."
"We've got many stories of her helping out people," said Garcia.
Garcia explained that Shirley was 73 years old and couldn't move properly, so her son Jovan quit his job at Lake Babine Nation to be closer to his mother.
Both Shirley and Jovan had dual citizenship – American and Canadian.
Jovan was a part of the American military for about two years, according to Garcia. He received basic training, but was never sent out to a mission.
Last week, Granisle fire chief and councillor Jim O'Farrell, who lives a couple houses down from where the shooting occurred, told Black press that Shirley had become withdrawn.
Garcia said she didn't think Shirley's behaviour was anything out of the ordinary.
"Everybody else is withdrawn," said Garcia. "You walk up and down the avenue in any city, and people stay in their houses."
However, Garcia said Shirley's house was getting "vandalized" when she wasn't at home.
"They couldn't leave their house because it would always be vandalized when they left home," said Garcia. "They were really picked on."
Jovan's sister, Shonte Williams, told Lakes District News a similar story.
Shonte said Shirley's home was being vandalized whenever she wasn't there.
"I do know that they [Shirley and Jovan] were having a lot of problems at that house and my mother was doing the best she could to document everything that was happening," said Shonte. "I know the last few years they were becoming more and more scared living there because of the amount of things that were happening to them, and they were getting no help."
Shonte said her mother made an effort to search for help and that she contacted the RCMP about the alleged vandalism that was taking place in her home.
"She went to the police about it, but she would get no help; after a while, when you don't receive help, you start to look after yourself," she said.
"I would like to know why my mom didn't get helped out when she first tried to get help; nobody wanted to deal with it; they just ignored it and they allowed it to continue happening."
Lakes District News attempted to confirm if the RCMP had been notified of vandalism taking place on Shirley's property. However, the RCMP did not confirm whether or not vandalism had taken place on her property.
Staff Sgt. Rob Vermeulen, a senior media relations officer with E Division, said the RCMP was not able to discuss any aspects of the Granisle shooting at this point because the Independent Investigations Office has the lead on the investigation.
Shonte said her mother didn't know why she was allegedly being picked on.
"My mom had theories, but she couldn't understand it either."
Shonte also said that although Shirley and Jovan had "never been too social," there was nothing out of the ordinary with their behaviour.
"They always kept to themselves, they didn't go out and socialize because they had things at home that they liked to do; she liked gardening; she had more fun doing her own thing at home."
Shonte said she wants answers like everyone else.
"I really want to know what happened; what happened that caused this situation to become so extreme?" said Shonte.
"My mom couldn't hurt anybody and my brother, I don't believe he could hurt anybody either," she added. "I feel that my mom and my brother should not be dead."
What the RCMP and a neighbour say
The RCMP said officers were called at 12:30 p.m. to a dispute between neighbours involving a handgun in Granisle on April 21, 2016.
They arrived at about 1:20 p.m., established a perimeter around the Morrison Street home and tried to contact the people inside.
"One person exited the residence and confronted police. Shots were fired at about 2:50 p.m.," said Staff Sgt. Rob Vermeulen, a senior media relations officer with E Division. "The second person exited the residence, confronted police and shots were fired."
Paramedics who were waiting nearby rushed to the victims, but both were dead. There were no injuries to police.
The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is now taking the lead on investigations and is not releasing any further information until the investigation is completed.
Granisle fire chief and councillor Jim O'Farrell, who lives a couple houses down from where the shooting occurred, told Black press he believed there were unaddressed mental health issues with the mother and son.
"Shirley had become withdrawn the last few years after being an active member of the community," according to O'Farrell. "That is when the no trespassing signs went up on the property."
He said things only got worse when Jovan returned home last year.
O'Farrell said he himself had avoided Jovan after a confrontation last year when Jovan accused O'Farrell of "staring" at him as he walked down the street and Jovan drove by.
"Ever since then I've been very weary. Then when the front door neighbour had some issues with him, I got really weary, to the point where I'd take my dog for a walk the other way as opposed to just going by his house."
Any potential witnesses are asked to call the IIO toll-free witness line at 1-855-446-8477.
First Nations leaders pledge to follow investigations closely
Two First Nations Chiefs in the Burns Lake area have pledged to watch closely the investigations by the Independent Investigations Office (IIO).
Lake Babine Nation (LBN) Chief Wilf Adam said he has spoken with RCMP officers in both the Burns Lake and Houston detachments, as well as with the chief investigator of the IIO. He said leaders of the First Nations Summit are also closely watching the outcome of this investigation.
"I have talked to them [leaders of the First Nations Summit] and they will stand back to see what comes out of the investigation and we'll see where it goes from there."
Chief Adam added that, depending on the outcome of the investigation, First Nations leaders could possibly push for an inquiry.
"There are still lots of questions lingering," he said. "I don't know how many officers were there [in Granisle]; we still don't know what happened; the truth needs to come out."
Chief Adam said he knew Jovan Williams, one of the people killed on April 21, personally.
"He was just like any other young fellow," said Chief Adam. "He had hopes and dreams; he was a shy guy, but he did really well at what he was doing."
Although Jovan was a member of Cheslatta Carrier Nation for a number of years, he applied to become a member of LBN in late 2015. Jovan worked as a janitor for LBN.
"He did a good job," said Chief Adam. "He was a hard worker."
Chief Adam said he was shocked to hear about the shooting on April 21. He urged community members to be careful with how they express their opinions and not to make any derogatory statements.
"Rushing to judgement at this time is not helpful, especially when two people lost their lives," he said. "We will be monitoring this very closely," added Chief Adam. "We will find out what happened and ensure that there is closure for the family."
Lake Babine Nation and Cheslatta Carrier Nation helped cover the costs of the funeral of Jovan and Shirley Williams.
Chief Leween said she also knew Jovan personally. She described him as a "quiet and polite gentleman." Chief Leween said she is also wondering what happened on April 21.
"Was there the ability to resolve it [the conflict] in a different manner other than gunning the two down?" she said.
"We're concentrating right now on the funeral, but that doesn't mean that we won't be watching the investigation very closely," she added.

Bizarro debuted in Superboy #68 (cover-dated October 1958, but on sale in August[1]), writer Otto Binder casting the character as a Frankenstein's monsterpastiche that possessed all the powers of Superboy. Shunned for his unenviable appearance, the teen version of Bizarro only appeared in a single comic book story. An adult version appeared around the same time in the Superman daily newspaper comic strip written by Alvin Schwartz, debuting in Episode 105: "The Battle With Bizarro" (strips 6147-6242: August 25, 1958 to December 13, 1958). According to comics historian Mark Evanier, Schwartz long claimed that he originated the Bizarro concept prior to the character's appearance in Superboy.[2] The newspaper storyline introduced the strange speech patterns that became synonymous with the character, with all of Bizarro's comments meaning the opposite (e.g. "bad" means "good"). The newspaper version wore a "B" on his chest, as opposed to Superman's distinctive "S"

Costa Rica News – Today you may notice a change in the price of gasoline. Their will be a boost of ¢4 per liter of super, ¢8 for regular and ¢10 for diesel. The price increases will change super from ¢677 to¢ 681, regular from ¢655 to ¢663 and diesel from ¢555 to ¢565.
Additionally, Recope is ready for another price adjustment on Friday and explained last month that we should expect extraordinary adjustment every second Friday of the month. These take into account aspects such as prices of hydrocarbons in the international market and the exchange rate of the dollar, factors not controllable by the company.
Each request for adjustment takes some time to negotiate and approve and becomes finalized only after published in La Gaceta. Sometimes prices are lowered in these adjustments.
The change we see today is mostly due to the so-called tariff lag of local prices with respect to costs in the international market. It was approved by the Public Services Regulatory Authority (Aresep). Recope had requested an increase of ¢11 more for the liter of regular and ¢11 in diesel but Aresep approved a lower amount.

Trusting others
by Dr Jo Walker
Moving from childhood to adolescence requires our children to engage with a wider social group. From having been more closely aligned with family members, they are developing their own strategies to independently manage interactions with friends, teachers and other adults with less guidance from us as parents. They will be increasingly looking to others outside the family for support, affirmation and approval. They will be seeing themselves as individuals, perhaps asserting their own autonomy and identity in different social contexts. All of which, is developmentally normal and necessary if they are to become independent socially functioning young adults. However, making wise judgements about their response to and engagement with other people is critical if they are to build healthy and appropriate with the different individuals in their life.
Making wise social judgements will rely on their discernment: how well do I know this person; are they reliable and trustworthy? How much should I expect of this person? Is this person's opinion important to me? Should I do what this person is asking me to do? Whilst we all ponder these questions, for adolescents growing up in today's fast moving on line world, these questions are more relevant than ever. The sheer volume of information can be overwhelming and confusing to make sense of. The ease with which others can post opinions and comments can be leave our children bombarded by peer critique – both positive and negative. The need for peer belonging and inclusion can supersede their rational judgement, perhaps leading to on line aberrations which surprise us.
How can we guide our children to know when to trust other peoples' qualities, skills, ideas and opinions, and when to be more socially questioning?
We can do this by modelling how we decide whether to trust or question others, but we can also signpost to children those times to trust others' qualities, skills, ideas and opinions and when to be more circumspect and cautious.
Times when it is healthy or wise to question other people's qualities, skills, ideas and opinions
- Ignoring a comment from someone whose opinion doesn't matter to you
- Saying no to someone who asks you to do something you don't feel comfortable about
- Choosing not go along with something that is unkind, foolish or dangerous
- Asking questions rather than accepting thing as they are
- Offering an alternative perspective in a discussion rather than going along with what others say
- Finding your own solution rather than assuming others can help you
- Persevering with something difficult rather than asking for help or given up
- Asking before taking something rather than assuming you can just take it
- Noticing that someone is busy and not interrupting them
- Choosing not to share too much with someone you have only recently met
- Reading critically, rather than assuming what you are reading is true or fair
- Not getting drawn into conversations which are unkind or unhealthy
- Choosing not to spend time with someone who has let you down or hurt you
- Not posting private information on social media in case others use it inappropriately
- Choosing to stick with your own opinion rather than changing it because others disagree
Times when it is healthy or wise to trust other people's qualities, skills, ideas and opinions
- Taking on board other people's ideas, when they are people you know and trust
- Noticing other people's qualities and skills
- Affirming or praising other people in a meaningful way
- Asking people you trust for advice when you have a problem
- Trusting other people with tasks and responsibilities rather than doing it all yourself
- Trusting that people will be welcoming to you when you go somewhere new
- Trusting that people will be supportive when you have a go at something new
- Having a go or taking a risk because people will be there to help
- Accepting that people make mistakes and accepting their apology
- Accepting that when you make a mistake people will be forgiving
- Telling a teacher when you need help, once you've had a go on your own
- Going along with what others are doing, even if it can be frustrating at times
- Accepting a decision even if you don't always agree
- Being tolerant of other people even if they can be annoying or different to you

Like the very similar Patent Remedy Act previously invalidated by the Court, the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act failed to abrogate States' sovereign immunity.
Congress lacked the authority to abrogate the States' immunity from copyright infringement suits through enactment of the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act of 1990 (CRCA), a unanimous Supreme Court has held. Writing on behalf of the Court, Justice Elena Kagan explained that the CRCA was "materially similar" to the Patent Remedy Act, a statute the Court struck down in Florida Prepaid Postsecondary Education Expense Board v. College Savings Bank, 527 U.S. 627 (1999). In Florida Prepaid, the Court held that Congress could not use its Article I power over patents to remove the States' immunity and that the Patent Remedy Act's sweeping remedy was out of proportion to any due process problem created by a pattern of "unconstitutional patent infringement" committed by the States. While there was no justification for overruling Florida Prepaid, the Court observed that nothing prevented Congress from passing a valid copyright abrogation law in the future to "effectively stop States from behaving as copyright pirates" (Allen v. Cooper, March 23, 2020, Kagan, E.).
Case date: 23 March 2020
Case number: No. 18-877
Court: Supreme Court of the United States
A full summary of this case has been published on Kluwer IP Law.

Ryan Dosier – While collecting submissions for our annual "What Muppet Fans Got for Christmas" article, we received a very interesting email from our friend Jennifer Hullenaar, who wanted to share a new Christmas tradition at her house. Jenn's kids, Willow and Rowan, loved Muppets Most Wanted and Constantine especially. I'll let Jennifer tell you the rest…
My kids felt left out not having an "elf on the shelf" like their classmates (I find the shelf elf really creepy). Instead, they were surprised by Constantine on the shelf. This year, the world's most dangerous frog decided to steal the ultimate prize: all of Santa's toys and thus the whole holiday.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, each morning my kids would awake to find Constantine in a new spot and a new journal entry on their iPad on his plans. He tried to recruit/convert toy super heroes and later an army of toy villains, he knocked out the tooth fairy and tried to steal a present intended for my son, he hid in the refrigerator to prep for Arctic temperatures and in a gift bag to be a present, he created his own test run of explosives in Minecraft, and he did research on the North Pole. He even tried to disguise himself as Rudolph and then Santa.
On Christmas Eve morning, my kids couldn't find him anywhere… just a journal entry that he stole my daughter's letter to Santa to deliver it in-person — after all, what better way to steal Christmas than at the North Pole right before Santa leaves?
The culmination came Christmas morning, when they found Constantine in the tree, bound up in ribbons like a present. Attached was a note, thanking the kids for keeping tabs on Constantine's behavior and reassuring them that his dastardly deeds were no match for Santa magic. Both my children thoroughly enjoyed this and agreed it was way, way better than any plain old elf on the shelf.
Isn't that perfect and wonderfully fun and unique and brilliant? Jennifer also said… Our whole family had so much fun with this. Constantine has become a regular trickster in our house. He still picks fights with the tooth fairy and tries to steal the money or gifts any time my kids lose a tooth, and he occasionally has a habit of hiding around the house.
Kudos to Jennifer for her impressive holiday hijinks with the world's most dangerous frog. I could see quite a few other families taking up this tradition in the years to come. Check out the gallery below for all of Constantine's exploits. Thanks so much for letting us showcase the fun, Jennifer! Wish Rowan and Willow a very Merry Christmas from their pals at The Muppet Mindset!

Before we move onto the topic of this week's "Inter Poll" we would like to report out last week's poll question asking where you would like to see Hernanes play.
Winning the majority of votes at 41% was option "B," which was Hernanes playing centrally while doing a little bit of everything... including saving our season. In a highly amusing turn of events, the runner up with 28% of the vote was option "D" and not having Kuzmanovic playing in the Nerazzurri midfield. (You lot are a funny bunch!)
In this week's poll, we take a look at the potential (pending?) signing of Manchester United 's veteran defender, Nemanja Vidic. If you were to believe certain reports floating about, the Serbian defender has already packed his bags as he has given the Red Devils his metaphorical two week notice. His targeted destination? Why, Inter, of course. He has supposedly agreed to a 2 year, 3 million Euro/year contract beginning next season.
This brings us to this week's question:

Preliminary election results for Green Party candidates in the 2013 general election on Nov. 5 show several victories, with significant advances in California and Maine.
"The Green Party celebrated victories and reelections across the U.S. In some local races, Greens lost but received 25 to 40 percent of the vote, proof that the Green Party is reaching a lot more voters. The Green Party is awaiting election results from some states. So far, the party counts at least 31 victories out of at least 103 races in all of 2013, with 22 victories out of 82 races on Nov. 5.
Below is a list of highlights by state. For more results, see Green Party Watch:http://www.greenpartywatch.org/2013/11/06/2013-green-party-election-results
• ARKANSAS: The Green Party has qualified for the ballot in Arkansas (http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2013/11/06/green-party-qualifies-for-arkansas-ballot).
• CALIFORNIA: 16 Greens were elected to local office in California, bringing the number of Cali Greens elected overall in 2013 to 18, an all-time high for the party in an odd-numbered year; 54 Greens now hold office in California. The 16 out of 25 candidates who won their races on Nov. 5 gave the Green Party a 64% win rate. (More: http://www.gp.org/index.php/california-election-report-2013.html)
• CONNECTICUT: Mirna Lis Martinez was elected to the New London Board of Education, the sole non-Democrat on the seven-member board (http://www.theday.com/article/20131105/NWS01/131109796).
• MAINE: Josh Plourde was elected to the City Council of Bangor. Anna Trevorrow received the most votes in a race for for two seats on Portland's School Board. Portland voters also passed a ballot measure legalizing recreational marijuana for adults, with about 70% voting in favor. Portland's Green Party was a strong supporter of the initiative.
• MINNESOTA: Cam Gordon was reelected to a third term on the Minneapolis City Council (Ward 2). Annie Young was reelected to her seat on the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Commission, a position she has held since 1989.
• NEW YORK: Howie Hawkins received 40% in his closely watched campaign for District 4 City Councillor in Syracuse, losing to Khalid Bey. As when Hawkins ran for the same seat in 2011, the Working Families Party invested resources in his Democratic opponent in the final days of the campaign, despite Mr. Hawkins strong progressive stands and winnability and Mr. Bey's nonprogressive corporate-money campaign, confirming Green accusations that the WFP exists to shill for Democrats. For more on Mr. Hawkins and the WFP, see "Left Third Parties in 2013: The Wave Begins?" by John Halle (http://newpol.org/content/left-third-parties-2013-wave-begins). See also Mr. Hawkins' reflection on running, "Every Green vote was a conscious vote" (http://www.gp.org/index.php/every-green-vote-was-a-conscious-vote.html), and "Hunting Votes for 'The Hawk'" by Jon Flanders (http://www.greenpapers.net/?p=727).
"The Green Party celebrated victories and reelections across the U.S. In some local races, Greens lost but received 25 to 40 percent of the vote, proof that the Green Party is reaching a lot more voters. Some Greens placed second — behind the Democrat but ahead of the Republican, as in Lynne Serpe's New York City Council race in a very large district in Queens," said Darryl! L.C. Moch, co-chair of the Green Party of the United States and co-chair of the party's Coordinated Campaign Committee
• OHIO: Brian Cummins, Green member of Cleveland City Council, has been reelected to a third term (http://www.cleveland.com/cityhall/index.ssf/2013/11/cleveland_city_council_ward_14_1.html). His challenger was endorsed by Cleveland's mayor, who had pushed a trash-to-energy plant that Mr. Cummins opposed. Ohio Greens and other alternative parties now face grossly anti-democratic legislation supported by Republicans that will effectively abolish all minor political parties in the state (http://ohiogreens.org/node/277).
• PENNSYLVANIA: Neil B. Haagen III led several Green Party candidates to victory on Tuesday. The 23-year-old FedEx dockworker was elected to Snowshoe Borough Council in Centre County. Tausif Khan was elected Judge of Elections, Falls Township 1 – 5, Bucks County. Eric Hamell was elected Inspector of Elections, Ward 59, Division 21, Philadelphia County. Kevin Mock won his write-in campaign for Auditor in Dimock Township, Susquehanna County. In York County, Stephen N. Weisser was re-elected Inspector of Elections in York City's 7th Ward and will serve as the Majority Inspector. (More:https://www.facebook.com/gpofpa)
• VIRGINIA: Audrey Clement earned 31% of the vote for Arlington County Board, finishing behind incumbent Democrat Jay Fisette. Ms. Clement outpolled Ken Cuccinelli in Arlington County by 3,000 votes.

Coronavirus has had its hands in the many securities exchanges across the world. China's securities exchange almost crushed when the report of new coronavirus infections and deaths became worldwide. Investors pulled out last minute to cushion themselves from incurring huge losses that could plunge them into irrecoverable debts.
But one firm is making the most from coronavirus pandemic. Gilead Sciences, an American Biotech firm has been performing extremely well on the American bourse after the World Health Organization said that one of its drugs; remdesivir is showing signs that it may be able to help treat the deadly coronavirus.
"There is only one drug right now that we think may have real efficacy and that's remdesivir," said World Health Organization (WHO) assistant director-general at a press conference in Beijing.
The firm came second the S&P 500 (a stock market index that tracks the stocks of 500 large-cap U.S. companies) and was one of the two stocks in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System-100 (Nasdaq-100) that were trading higher as of yesterday.
A few weeks ago, the company had issued a statement saying the drug has portrayed some success in treating MERS and SARS, two viruses similar to the Wuhan coronavirus, in animals.WHO officials mentioned that clinical trials for this drug in humans are now ongoing and the results could be available within weeks as Gilead is collaborating with health authorities in China on two trials for patients with Coronavirus.
"The two studies one in patients with severe disease and another in patients with the moderate disease are currently enrolling participants and we anticipate results in April," said the Gilead Sciences spokesman.
Among other firms in the quest to find coronavirus cure are Pharmaceutical giants Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)
