MIAMI (January 9, 2021) – The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA), which represents the Caribbean's biggest industry, has made its case to the Government of Canada to reconsider new pandemic testing rules that will strain already stressed Caribbean public health systems and cause further damage to the region's economy.
From January 7, 2021, Canada is requiring that all residents and travelers entering from the Caribbean provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test before their planned departure to Canada.
"This policy is creating challenges and places even greater economic hardship on the people and governments of the Caribbean and on the thousands of Canadians currently in the Caribbean who are scheduled to return home in the coming weeks," said CHTA's Acting CEO and Director General Vanessa Ledesma.
The mere announcement of the policy has resulted in a rash of cancellations by Canadians who had been scheduled to travel to the region, Ledesma observed, further harming already fragile businesses and economies and keeping more employees from returning to work.
"As the policy takes effect, we anticipate many stranded Canadians being unable to return home due to their inability to get tests in the required time," she lamented.
While CHTA recognizes that the policy is intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Canada, an objective shared by the association, "our commitment to the health and safety of residents and travelers is best demonstrated by the COVID-19 protocols and containment measures which are in place throughout the Caribbean, and the thousands of tourism employees who have undergone health safety training conducted by CHTA and its health safety partners, the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) and the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO)."
Ledesma added that this is further reinforced by the low tourism-related transmission rates in the region.
"On behalf of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association and the 33 National Hotel and Tourism Associations throughout the region, which are part of our Federation, we respectfully request reconsideration of this policy for the Caribbean," CHTA stated in a submission to Canada's Minister of Transport Marc Garneau and shared with Canadian High Commissions and Consulates across the region.
CHTA believes the region's success in maintaining one of the lowest incident rates of COVID-19 in the world is largely because of the stringent health safety and testing measures which are in place, thanks to the leadership of many Caribbean Heads of Government, and the strong partnerships between the health and tourism sectors.
Caribbean health safety protocols can be found at www.caribbeanhotelandtourism.com/health-safety-resources. They have been the basis for health and safety training for thousands of employees since June 2020.
These protocols are recognized by health safety partners, including CARPHA, CTO, and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).

The teenage girl who died after she was hit by a train near the Pope Lick trestle Sunday night has been identified, according to authorities.

A new study released by NBC Latino/IBOPE Zogby indicates that 60% of Latinos said they support same-sex marriage, a higher percentage than the national average.In contrast, 38% said they were opposed to it.
Asked the question "Do you agree with the right of same-sex couples to get married," 48% responded that they "strongly agree" with legalizing gay marriage, while 12% said they "somewhat agree." On the flipside, 31% "strongly disagree" and 7% "somewhat disagree."
That's an important distinction in an subject like marriage equality, where the difference between supporting it in theory and feeling strongly enough about it to back gay-friendly ballot initiatives and politicians can make all the difference.
And while marriage-equality groups are dashing out press releases about the results, another aspect of the poll—taken by only 400 participants—is quite distressing: Asked what their biggest disappointment would be when it comes to their children, one in ten said having a gay child.
That's compared to 5% who said a teen pregnancy would be their biggest shame. In comparison, 43% said it would be if their child became a drug addict and 33% who said it'd be if their kid went to prison.
Imagine if your gay bambino went to San Quentin for dealing meth?

Door-to-Door Sales
Door-to-Door Sales are transactions such as the sale of goods or rights or the provision of services for which a business operator visits a consumer's domicile, unscrupulous sales on the street, or appointment sales.
Door-to-Door Sales subject to the Specified Commercial Transactions Act
1.(1) Sales Form (Article 2 of the Act)
The term "Door-to-Door Sales" refers to the sale of goods or rights or the provision of services for which the seller or the service provider (*) concludes a contract at a place other than a business office (e.g., a consumer's domicile).
- The most common Door-to-Door Sales is a sales method in which a salesperson visits a consumer's residence to conclude a contract, etc. In addition, sales in a cafe, on the street, or exhibition sales for which a hotel or a community center is temporarily rented also fall under Door-to-Door Sales if the place is not deemed to be a store or other similar facility, judged in terms of the period of the sale and the type of the facility.
It also means the sale of goods or rights, or the provision of services, conducted at a regular store to customers solicited by certain methods.
- In some cases, even a contract concluded in a defined place of business, e.g., an office, can be considered to be "Door-to-Door Sales". For example, the following cases are considered to be "Door-to-Door Sales": a seller or a service provider stops a consumer on the street or at a place other than a business office and takes him/her to a business office to conclude a contract (so-called unscrupulous sales on the street); or a seller or a service provider calls away a consumer without a clear indication of sales purpose by telephone, postal mail, or other means of communication, or a seller or a service provider calls a consumer to a business office by dangling far more advantageous contract conditions than those for other persons saying "you are specially chosen," or by similar means, to solicit the conclusion of a contract (so-called appointment sales).
※*"A seller or a service provider" refers to a person engaging in the sale of goods or the provision of services as a business. "Engaging as a business" means that transactions are performed repeatedly and continuously with the intention of making a profit.It should be noted that the existence of such intention will be objectively judged regardless of the person's intention.

When a business operator conducts Door-to-Door Sales, he or she must endeavor to confirm, prior to solicitation, that a consumer is willing to be solicited.
When a consumer manifested the intention not to conclude a contract, the continuation of solicitation during the same visit and re-solicitation after the visit are prohibited.
3.Delivery of Documents (Article 4 and 5 of the Act)
When a business operator received an offer for a contract, or concluded a contract, he or she must deliver a document containing the following matters to the consumer.
- Type of goods (rights, services)

- Time at which the goods will be delivered (time at which the rights will be transferred, or time at which the services will be provided)

- Intentional failure to disclose factual information in soliciting the conclusion of sales contracts, or to prevent the withdrawal of an offer for the contract (cancellation of the contract)
- Intimidation to overwhelm a counterparty in order to conclude a sales contract, or to prevent the withdrawal of an offer for the contract (cancellation of the contract)
- Soliciting consumer,who was induced away by solicitation methods that do not inform the solicitation purpose (samethe same methods as so-called unscrupulous sales on the street, or appointment sales), to conclude a sales contract, etc., at a place other than places in which the general public comes and goes
5.Administrative Dispositions and Penalties
A business operator who violated the administrative controls as per the above is subject to penalties in addition to administrative disposition such as an instruction of business improvement (Article 7 of the Act), or a business suspension order (Article 8 of the Act).

Even if a consumer made an offer for a contract, or concluded a contract in Door-to-Door Sales, the consumer may withdraw the offer or cancel the contract (cooling-off) by writing to the business operator within 8 days after receiving the documents specified in laws.
It should be noted that a consumer may execute cooling-off even after the above period has passed for a contract concluded on or after November 11, 2004 if the consumer misunderstood cooling-off, or was overwhelmed so as not to execute cooling-off because of the business operator's misrepresentation about cooling-off matters or the use of intimidation. (The use of certified mail, registered mail, content-certified mail, etc., is recommended for cooling-off in order to avoid future problems.)
If the consumer has already received goods or rights at the time of cooling-off, the goods or the rights may be returned to the seller at the seller's expense. Moreover, even if the goods are used, or the services were already provided, consumers do not need to pay the consideration for them.Consumers do not need to pay compensation for damages or penalties either, and if the consumer has already paid a consideration such as a deposit, the paid amount will be immediately returned, or if the state of the land, building, or any other structure has already been changed, they can be returned to its original state at no charge.
However, please note that cooling-off provisions do not apply to the cases where the goods for which the value is almost lost by usage, so-called consumables (e.g., health foods, cosmetics, etc.),have been used, or to the cases where the transaction is made by cash and the total amount of charges or consideration is less than 3000 yen.
7.Withdrawal of an Offer for or Cancellation of Excessive Sales Contract (Article 9-2 of the Act)
If a consumer concluded a contract to purchase goods (services, designated rights) in Door-to-Door Sales in a quantity which considerably exceeds what is normally required, he or she may withdraw the offer, or cancel the contract within 1 year after the conclusion of the contract. (Cases where the consumer has a special reason to conclude the contract is excluded.)
In this case, the settlement rules that are in principle similar to the settlement rules for cooling-off apply.
8. Rescission of the Manifested Intention to Offer a Contract or to Accept Such Offer (Article 9-3 of the Act)
If a consumer manifested the intention to offer a contract or to accept such offer under the misunderstanding in each of the following cases as a result of the following acts of the business operator in soliciting the conclusion of the contract, the consumer may rescind the manifested intention for contracts concluded on or after November 11, 2004.
- In the case of misrepresentation, the misunderstanding that the information being represented was true
- In the case of intentional failure to disclose factual information, the misunderstanding that the relevant facts did not exist
9.Limitation to the Amount of Damages for the Cancellation of a Contract (Article 10 of the Act)
The Specified Commercial Transactions Act specifies that a business operator cannot claim an amount exceeding the following amounts so that the business operator won't be able to claim unreasonable damages when the contract is canceled for the reason of a consumer's default, e.g., delay of payment, after the cooling-off period has passed.
- When the goods (rights) are returned, the amount of the ordinary usage fees (if the amount obtained by subtracting the possible reselling price from the selling price exceeds the ordinary usage fees, such amount)
- When the goods (rights) are not returned, an amount equivalent to the selling price
- When the services are already provided, an amount equivalent to the consideration for the provided services
- When the goods (rights) are not delivered yet (or when the services are provided yet), the amount of the cost normally required for concluding and performing the contract.
The delinquency charges based on the statutory interest rate of 6% per year is added to these amounts.
10.Demand for Injunction against Business Operator's Conduct (Article 58-18 of the Act)
If a business operator has performed, or is likely to perform any of the following acts to many and unspecified persons, a Qualified Consumer Organization may demand that the business operator discontinue or prevent the relevant conduct, or take any other necessary measures.
- Misrepresentation in soliciting the conclusion of a contract
- Intentional failure to disclose factual information in soliciting the conclusion of a contract

11."Door-to-Door Sales Consumer Relief Fund" by Japan Direct Selling Association (Article 29-2 of the Act)
If an offer is withdrawn or a contract is cancelled related to Door-to-Door Sales conducted by a member of the Japan Direct Selling Association pursuant to the provisions of the Specified Commercial Transactions Act, and if the member fails to refund the money it received from a consumer upon his or her request without justifiable grounds, the Japan Direct Selling Association is now able to provide a certain amount of money from the fund accumulated by its members as a "Consumer Relief Fund."

For Hillary, e-mail questions still swirl
For what she says is the sake of "convenience" – who wants to have to fiddle with two hand-held devices when one will do nicely? – Hillary Clinton bought herself a heap of trouble. Then she added to the pile by failing to explain herself for a full week. The storm over her use of a private email account mushroomed – as was inevitable in the absence of a countervailing explanation other than the Clintonian penchant for control and secrecy.
The delay occurred in the hope of being able to kill the story with an abundance of information, as Team Clinton preferred to wait for State to clear the release of the emails. But the news cycle is an impatient beast, especially where Clintons are involved.
Clinton finally addressed the issue Tuesday. Her explanation ("I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work") and her expression of ex post facto regret ("Looking back, it would have been better for me to use two separate phones and two email accounts") will serve to help quiet the controversy but will not end it.
From the perspective of ClintonWorld, the all-but candidate is both held to a higher standard of behavior than other politicians and treated with an extra level of suspicion. If that's true, perhaps they should have factored that skewed reality into their planning. Now, with Clinton's news conference and an unprecedented deluge of secretarial emails, Clinton is hoping this self-inflicted wound can be cauterized.
Numerous questions remain – about how the arrangement was approved; what security measures were put in place (Clinton said she was using the former president's server, so the protections were adequate); and, most important from my perspective, whether she followed the rules requiring that the records be properly preserved.
To wit, 36 C.F.R. 1236.22: "Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency recordkeeping system."
That does not contemplate waiting for two years after your tenure as secretary is over and then combing through the records only after the State Department belatedly requested them. Clinton argued that the emails were captured at the time because they were sent to other State Department addresses – but that doesn't deal with emails outside the department or government.
Meanwhile, new questions arose with Clinton's disclosure that half the 60,000 emails were determined to be personal, were not turned over to the State Department, and would not be made available, as some have suggested, for any third-party review.
My reaction to this episode is a combination of exasperation, sadness and a strong sense of deja vu. It's exasperating because it's all so unnecessary. Accepting Clinton's asserted reason for relying on private email, why does she get to play by different rules than other senior government officials who juggle two devices?
It's sad because Clinton, in my estimation, is such a strong presidential candidate – smart, disciplined, hardworking, experienced, sober-minded.
As to the deja vu, I was in the State Dining Room almost 21 years ago when Clinton, in a demure pink sweater set, held a marathon press conference to handle questions about her commodities trading, Whitewater investment and assorted other matters.
"One of the things that I regret most," Clinton said then, is that "my sense of privacy … led me to perhaps be less understanding than I needed to of both the press and the public's interest, as well as right, to know things about my husband and me. … I've always believed in a zone of privacy. And I told a friend the other day that I feel after resisting for a long time I've been rezoned."
Back then, Clinton chalked up her difficulties to "our inexperience in Washington."
What's the excuse now?

text: Bored 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1852364 Wednesday, August 4, 2004 ESPN.com news services Commissioner Bud Selig has said in past months he did not intend to push for a contract extension, but that doesn't mean baseball owners wouldn't offer one. A high-ranking official confirmed to The Los Angeles Times for Wednesday's editions that "a number of clubs think it's appropriate to talk about an extension [for Selig] and likely take action" during the league's quarterly meeting in Philadelphia on Aug. 17-18. According to The Times' sources, the agenda for the meeting includes an "executive session" during which two representatives from each team are expected to discuss and approve an extension to Selig's contract. Selig's current five-year deal is to expire Dec. 31, 2006, at which time the labor aggreement with the Players' Association and national TV contract also will be up for renewal. "The clubs consider it a critical period and think continuity in leadership is equally critical," the official told The Times. "Bud is a youthful 70. I never believed him when he talked about retiring when this contract expires." Sources speculated the extension would likely be for two or three years. In April 2003, Selig said he would not seek an extension of his current contract, but has been less emphatic in his decision recently as the league experiences a record attendance pace and improved TV ratings. Selig has served as commissioner, in both an interim and full-term capacity, for 12 years, longer than any of the previous eight commissioners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell took a break from battling an F-rating by the Better Business Bureau to chat with the commander-in-chief at Mar-a-Lago over the Easter weekend.
Trump told Lindell that he uses one of the Minnesota-based company's products.
"The President shook my hand and told me, 'You are doing a great job, Michael.' He also said he is sleeping great on his MyPillow," Lindell told the Daily News in an email.
"I told him, 'People come up to me all the time to tell me what a great job you are doing and that you are in their prayers,'" Lindell said. "It was an honor to be at Mar-a-Lago on Easter weekend."
Lindell was a guest of a member of the Florida resort when Trump stopped by their table Saturday night, said a spokeswoman who declined to identify the member.
The fluffy chat wasn't the first time Lindell has talked shop with the President.
Lindell was a guest of the President at a July 2017 White House event for U.S.-based manufacturers, during which the businessman placed one of his pillows on the table.
"It's good to see you here. It's fantastic," Trump told him last summer. "And I actually bought a couple of pillows, and they're very good."
The Better Business Bureau of Minneapolis and North Dakota think otherwise.
In January 2017, the commerce watchdog revoked MyPillow's accreditation — slashing its rating to an "F," which still stands.
MyPillow had misadvertised sales in a "buy-one, get-one-free" offer, the consumer rights group found.
The pillows, mostly sold online or through TV commercials, were also the subject of a lawsuit for claiming the headrests had health benefits.
MyPillow was forced to settle a case by nine California district attorneys for $1 million.
Lindell went from crack addict to slumber millionaire, whose pillow empire was boosted by heavily advertising on Fox News — one of the President's favorite networks.
Lindell in turn has been a staunch supporter of the network and its personalities.
He tweeted on Monday that he wouldn't be one of the many advertisers pulling TV spots from Laura Ingraham's show, after its host mocked Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg for getting rejected from several California colleges.

Many Story Ideas on COVID-19
As the dark veil of quarantine slowly lifts, the aftermath of longterm effects from the pandemic should be considered in plot development, characters, and the entire gamut of novel-writing. How the pandemic has changed our lives and what the new normal might look like has inspired many considerations, ideas, and what-ifs in my writer-brain. Whether you're searching for just the right novel premise to get going again or how to incorporate all this madness in your work-in-progress, here are some things I've thought about that could be important either as subtle background notes or complete plots.
The end to handshaking, hugs, and general touching might seem a sad footnote to this crisis. I always got a little teary watching those commercials where kind, friendly people would give out free hugs in the park. BUT there's an upside to more touching control, I think. Remember times when someone held your hand too long on a handshake or got a little too touchy-feely? Perhaps more boundaries would prevent those awkward feelings, especially for women. Regardless, physical contact between coworkers, strangers, and other outside-your-own-home acquaintances will be reduced or eliminated, so how might that play into your story or main character? A deeper thought... what would the lack of human contact do to someone? Tears came to my eyes when watching the latest Coronavirus episode of the Apple TV show Mythic Quest when the boss, Ian, showed up at his lead programmer, Poppy's apartment just to give her a hug that she desperately needed. We should all definitely consider the gravity of human contact.
Germaphobes aren't so crazy. In the past, people opening doors with their shirt sleeves or dousing their hands in sanitizer every few minutes seemed extreme. Not anymore. We've all become a little more OCD after this. I've gone through almost all my stash of Bath and Body Works sanitizers, and I keep them everywhere--in the cars, my purse, pockets. If your character's a germaphobe, then perhaps he or she loves this new, more sanitized world. If not, is your character the type to take precautions or throw caution to the wind?
An uptick in healthier practices generally is a definite positive to all the madness. We've all been to a public restroom and been shocked when we realized that someone didn't wash their hands before leaving. Egads! Perhaps now, everyone will diligently practice simple hand-washing. They'll also, perhaps, be more conscientious about flu shots and other vaccines (hopefully one for coronavirus soon). How might this affect your character?
A long-overdue, greater appreciation for medical professionals, first responders, and all essential workers marks another positive outcome. I expect many awesome hero stories will come out of this. If your character falls into one of these categories, then consider the effects--positive and negative--and how your character reacts.
Hoarding is the new black. Okay, I get that sounds funny, but you know what I mean. Perhaps a logical downside to the madness is that people will go to extremes to make sure they have private stashes of items that have been more scarce since the pandemic. Toilet paper. Meats. Cleaners. Medical supplies. Canned goods. Of course, it's always good to prepare and think ahead, but there's a fine line, too. Where does your character fall on the hoarding spectrum? What would your character make sure he or she had a supply of? What lengths might someone go to?
Online, well, everything. Big business is rethinking its need for large, open offices when people have proven to work well at home. Studies have even shown that people are way more productive working out of their home offices. So, what does that mean going forward? More telecommuting? My husband's office had just renovated everything to a trendy open-concept workspace. Well, that's going to change, if they return to the office at all. The same holds true for education. School might end up being at home or at least, part-time in-person. While on one hand, it seems logical that these changes will save lots of money and make home-bodies very happy, there's an enormous downside, too. The foundation of many people's social networks will be shaken. How might a greater online life affect your characters?
A greater appreciation for home-life has developed since spending more time there. The uptick in board games, pet adoptions, yard work, home improvement, home cooking, crafting, reading (hopefully) and so on means that we're taking better care of what we have and we're probably doing a lot of things we should've been doing before, maybe. My daughter and I have played all the games we've been putting off, and we've even created our own Bob Ross paintings. People are breaking out their sewing machines (I did, too, but it did not go well) to make masks. My daughter planted a veggie and herb garden. I've been doing more cooking--I learned to spatchcock a chicken and make my own broth. What about your characters? What have they done with the time at home?
The flip-side to a greater home-life has its negatives. With TV and video games, kids could be more braindead. So can parents--sometimes I don't know what day it is as they all run together now. Do weekends even matter anymore? Being stuck at home can be incredibly lonely for people. It can also make us less inclined to go out, even when we're able. When we're not used to driving every day, for example, we may feel rusty or nervous about it. What might some negatives be for your characters?
The way we gather could be changed forever. While everyone hopes we'll return to normal, it may be unrealistic to think that things like concerts, sporting events, church services, movies, and any event that's a mass gathering will be the same as before. Perhaps big events will be replaced by small gatherings. Maybe mega-churches will give way to home-groups. Movie theaters--theaters in general--could go out of business. More large-scale events could take place online. I can't imagine what this time is like for event planners, can you? Anyway, the way we meet should be considered for stories going forward.
Here's a great Q&A covering many aspects of the pandemic that could be useful for story ideas.
Here are a few, perhaps, less obvious ideas that could happen (at least in my crazy imagination) and might be fun to consider for your plots:
Becoming germaphobes now means children could lack exposure to many things making them more susceptible to allergies, viruses, and so on. I foresee an uptick in science fiction stories using coronavirus as a springboard to larger consequences, like this. During my stint as a preschool director (years ago), some children were afraid of the rain. I can't imagine what they're afraid of now!
A downturn in online dating could mean a new way of finding that perfect someone altogether--if that's what people are online dating for (I don't know anymore). Only it seems to me that meeting up with strangers should decrease while perhaps online dating environments should increase. Of course, dating altogether should be hella-difficult right now. This should impact romance stories greatly. How do you find love during a pandemic? How do you express that love? This could open the door for many innovative plot lines.
A downturn in premarital affairs, maybe? A positive side effect of being at home all the time means fewer secrets between spouses. This could drive many marriages to the brink of divorce or it might bring them closer together if they grow to appreciate each other in a new light. Again, I foresee many romances using the pandemic as a starting point for either ending or rekindling relationships.
Comfy-cozy is so hot right now. *Smirk* High fashion should take a plummeting nosedive in the wake of all this staying at home. People'll get used to wearing Yoga pants and jammies all day making a return to suits, skirts, and heels difficult. Over the decades, we've seen fashion get more and more causal. This could be the thing that brings about the end of platform heels, ties, Spanx, and anything else that we wear strictly for the looks, not comfort. On the other hand, designers could focus more on face fashion--who says your face mask has to be boring? Gloves, scarves, and face masks could be all the rage next season.
Get ready for the wave of coronavirus babies! With couples stuck at home, it's logical to assume that they, well, fill the time together. We could have a baby boom in a few months. It happened with Hurricane Isabelle many years ago. We were without power for over a week in most communities on the Virginia coast, and as a result, nine months later hospital delivery rooms were super-busy with Isabelle babies.
Of course, most of my ideas are speculation, but that's the fun in being a writer. Considering how things might happen fuels all stories. As restrictions lift, I wonder if people will peek out of their holes like the groundhog checking timidly for spring or if they'll rush back into the world like Walmart shoppers on Black Friday. I know which group I fall in.
If you have any thoughts on how the aftermath of the coronavirus will affect your writing, please share below. For more crazy-writer-brain ideas, check out www.coffeebrained.com
Happy speculating!

Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo will charge $10 entry fee
The Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo will charge an admission fee this year, the first time in the neighborhood festival's 14-year history.
The festival takes place along the banks of Bayou St John, May 17, 18 and 19.
For 2019, festival-goers will pay $10 a day or $20 for the three-day weekend. Wristbands will allow in and out access. Children under the age of 12 are free. Three-day tickets can be purchased in advance here.
An increase in land use fees is the reason for the admission charge.
Boogaloo organizers said they understand this information is coming at the last minute, but it was unavoidable. Organizers said the choices they had was to cancel the fest, or implement a gate fee.
The Friends of Bayou St. John board of directors made this decision to keep the Bayou Boogaloo viable for our musicians, artists and businesses that rely on our event and, most of all, for the hope that community festivals can remain part of the cultural landscape of New Orleans.
Friends of Bayou St. John works all year long to protect and preserve the bayou.
Tree planting, trash pick ups and efforts to clean the water are routine. Just yesterday, Mid City Boogaloo/Friends of Bayou St. arranged for the 14 trees along Bayou St. John to be pruned, mulched, and air-spaded (oxygenated) This was an in-kind donation from Benton Tree Service facilitated by Friends of Bayou St. John. Cost of this service would have been $19,165

WWE SummerSlam 2012: Top 10 Biggest SummerSlams of All TimeAugust 19, 2012
WWE SummerSlam 2012: Top 10 Biggest SummerSlams of All Time
WWE SummerSlam 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the company's second biggest annual pay-per-view, and it has proven to be one of the most successful events since its 1988 inception.
In celebration of reaching such a commendable landmark, this list takes a look at the biggest SummerSlam PPVs of all time.
Note that the term "biggest" does not necessarily mean the best shows in terms of quality, rather the largest in terms of their attendance.
I'm well aware that the following slides may well induce some particularly strong feelings of nostalgia, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
No. 10: SummerSlam 1995
Date: August 27, 1995
Venue: Pittsburgh Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Attendance: 18,062
Diesel vs. Mabel for the WWE Championship was the main event, though it was Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon who stole the show.
Their ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship was a groundbreaking encounter, and it is still to this day considered one of the greatest of all time.
No. 9: SummerSlam 2000
Date: August 27, 2000
Venue: Raleigh Entertainment and Sports Center, Raleigh, North Carolina
Attendance: 18,124
The Rock, Triple H and Kurt Angle contested a blockbuster main event for the WWE Championship.
The pay-per-view also saw the debut of the Tables, Ladders and Chairs concept, continuing its tradition of innovating the ladder match. Edge and Christian, the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boyz were the participants in what was a truly revolutionary match.
No. 8: SummerSlam 2005
Date: August 21, 2005
Venue: MCI Center, Washington, D.C.
Attendance: 18,156
The "First Time Ever" clash between Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels was a natural choice to main-event the 2005 PPV.
Though, it is perhaps best remembered for Michaels' over-exuberance in selling the simplest of moves from Hogan, as depicted in the accompanying image.
This was supposedly a dig at Hogan's reluctance to put Michaels over, though I personally still found the match highly entertaining.
No. 7: SummerSlam 1990
Date: August 27, 1990
Venue: The Spectrum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Attendance: 19,304
One of the earliest SummerSlams to rank on this list, the card was jam-packed with a hole host of big-name stars.
The Rockers, The Hart Foundation, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Hulk Hogan and Rick Rude all featured, among others, making this one of the greatest lineups in SummerSlam history.
No. 6: SummerSlam 1988, 1989 and 1991
I know that these should technically be in "joint sixth" place, but that would have forced me to leave out SummerSlam 2000 and 1995. I felt that this would be short-changing you guys somewhat, so instead I simply bunched these three events together in order to fit more onto my list.
Dates: August 29, 1988, August 28, 1989 and August 26, 1991
Venues: Madison Square Garden (1988 and 1991) and Meadowlands Arena, East Rutherford, New Jersey (1989)
Attendance: 20,000
All three PPVs saw Hulk Hogan in the main event. In 1988, he teamed with Randy Savage to face Ted DiBiase and Andre the Giant, coining the slogan "The Mega Powers vs. The Mega Bucks."
He was then Savage's opponent in another tag team match in 1989, before teaming with The Ultimate Warrior in 1991 to face Sgt. Slaughter, Colonel Mustafa and General Adnan in a handicap match.
Such matches certainly continued the trend of star-studded SummerSlam cards.
No. 5: SummerSlam 1997
Date: August 3, 1997
Venue: Continental Airlines Arena, East Rutherford, New Jersey
Attendance: 20,213
Bret Hart faced the Undertaker in the main event for the WWE Championship, with the notable addition of Shawn Michaels as special guest referee.
It was an interesting move from the WWE given the real-life animosity between Michaels and Hart, coming just a few months prior to the infamous Montreal Screwjob.
The PPV also featured Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Owen Hart for the Intercontinental Championship and Triple H vs. Mankind inside a steel cage, in what was a precursor for their epic feud of early 2000.
No. 4: SummerSlam 1998
Date: August 30, 1998
Venue: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
Attendance: 21,588
Unfortunately, this PPV may be remembered more for its truly horrendous promotional poster than its matches. Nonetheless, the main event saw Stone Cold Steve Austin face the Undertaker for the WWE Championship, as the accompanying photo attempts to illustrate.
The Rock and Triple H also faced off for the Intercontinental Championship in yet another impressive SummerSlam ladder match.
No. 3: SummerSlam 1994
Date: August 29, 1994
Venue: United Center, Chicago, Illinois
Attendance: 23,000
There were two main events at the 1994 edition of SummerSlam, the first involving Bret Hart and his brother Owen in a steel cage match for the WWE Championship.
The other saw the real Undertaker face the imposter Undertaker, in the culmination of a mysterious storyline that not even Leslie Nielsen could solve.
Along with the Bret/Owen match, there were divided loyalties in the Intercontinental Championship bout, with Razor Ramon going head-to-head with his buddy from the Kliq, Diesel.
No. 2: SummerSlam 1993
Date: August 30, 1993
Venue: The Palace of Auburn Hills, Auburn Hills, Michigan
Attendance: 23,954
Another questionable SummerSlam poster, this time featuring Yokozuna performing a Banzai Drop onto the American flag.
Nonetheless, the event remains the second highest attended SummerSlam in history. It was Yokozuna who main-evented the PPV, facing Lex Luger (not The Star Spangled Banner) for the WWE Championship.
Other matches included Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental Championship and Bret Hart vs. Jerry Lawler in a bid to determine the "Undisputed King" of the company.
No. 1: SummerSlam 1992
Date: August 29, 1992
Venue: Wembley Stadium, London, England
Attendance: 80,355
This is not just the highest attended SummerSlam PPV ever; it also ranks as the second largest crowd at any WWE show in history.
The first main event saw The Ultimate Warrior challenge Randy Savage for the WWE Championship, but it was the Intercontinental Title match that really stole the show.
The British Bulldog defeated Bret Hart in the final match of the evening, resulting in one of the biggest pops that professional wrestling has ever seen. A truly iconic victory, it only seems fitting that so many fans were able to attend such an memorable moment in the company's history.

Portal is a new place of information and learning for VAMK students
The study portal is a web site for teaching to which students, teachers and other staff have access rights.
The portal is based on the familiar Moodle-tool. In future, the portal will provide students and teachers with everything they need in their everyday work.
The essential renewal is the possibility to create degree-programme-specific information. The aim is to collect all study modules into the portal in future.
The naming competition held for students attracted many suggestions. The name chosen is Portal.
The address for the Portal is https://portal.puv.fi

The Story of Slavery in the United StatesTRAGEDY & TRIUMPH
Become A Sponsor
In 2020, Speakeasy Ideas will present a ten-part live experience that will tell the tragic & triumphant story of America's role in "placing slavery on the path to ultimate extinction." As a sponsor, you have the opportunity connect with educated and passionate citizens who are consistently loyal to the brands and businesses that participate in their civic engagement.
The American Founding ignited the greatest anti-slavery movement in history. Through sacrifices of blood, sweat, and tears, Americans did more than any nation ever had to bring a swift end to slavery.
In 2020, Speakeasy Ideas presents Tragedy & Triumph: The Story of Slavery in the United States. This ten-part live experience lead by Dr. Thomas Krannawitter will chronicle the true story of mankind's tragic history of slavery and the heroic American story that changed the course of history.
This unique social and civic experience is a follow up to our 2019 program—Vino & Veritas—in which Dr. Krannawitter lead more than 200 attendees per month from across the state through the The Federalist Papers, offering a better understanding of the Constitution and the intent of the American Founders.
The Tragedy & Triumph story will be told in ten live monthly events—which we are calling ten "chapters"—from January to October, at the Soiled Dove Underground in Denver.
At Speakeasy Ideas, we know that every valuable creation begins as an idea. One of the most important ideas that led to one of the most important creations was the idea of a free society—the idea that each human being is free to make his own choices, keep what he produces, and take responsibility for his own actions.
No one is better than Dr. Thomas Krannawitter, President of Speakeasy Ideas, at inspiring others through the presentation of beautiful ideas. After earning a Ph.D. from the School of Politics & Economics at the Claremont Graduate University, Dr. Krannawitter taught at Claremont McKenna College, Hillsdale College, & George Mason University.
His 2008 book, Vindicating Lincoln, was featured by The History Book Club and endorsed by the United States Lincoln Bicentennial Commission. Check out his author's page at Amazon for information about his many other books.
In 2020 we're bringing all of our Vino & Veritas clubs together under one roof at The Soiled Dove Underground in the Lowery area of Denver. Westword called The Soiled Dove Underground "the best small venue in Denver," making it the perfect setting for our new live event series, Tragedy & Triumph: The Story of Slavery in the United States.
The Soiled Dove offers a slightly larger capacity than the venues we've been using, yet the space is still personal and intimate. No seat is more than 30 feet from the stage.
It's the kind of place that's so comfortable, you don't want to leave after you sit down. With doors opening at 4:30 p.m., and Tragedy & Triumph not starting until 6:00, it's a perfect spot for an early happy hour with friends or late afternoon business meetings before you settle in for the evening shows.
There's a full menu, a full bar, and a fully professional wait staff waiting to take care of you.
The Soiled Dove features incredible acoustics, specifically designed for live performances, and state of the art audio and lighting. For those of you who have never attended a live event at the Soiled Dove Underground, you'llunderstand why we picked this special venue the moment you walk in the doors.

Tooth bonding is a cosmetic procedure in which a tooth-colored composite resin is applied to a tooth to enhance its appearance.
Tooth bonding is used for a variety of purposes:
Tooth bonding is dependent on the artistic ability of the dentist, since the work is done "freehand," without taking impressions or using a laboratory. The tooth must be color matched, sculpted, and polished to produce a beautiful and natural looking result.
Bonding takes approximately 30-60 minutes in a single visit to our office.
Contact us today to schedule a cosmetic appointment.

This paper, delivered in 2017 at the conference on "Intention and Signification: Philosophy of Language Across Islamic Disciplines, 800-1200" organized by Nadja Germann at the University of Freiburg, has been published in the conference volume:
David R. Vishanoff. "Informative and Performative Theories of Divine Speech in Classical Islamic Legal Theory." In Philosophy and Language in the Islamic World, ed. Nadja Germann and Mostafa Najafi, 183–208. Philosophy in the Islamic World in Context, ed. Peter Adamson, et al., no. 2. Berlin: De Gruyter, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110552409-007
The volume is available from De Gruyter.
Abstract: The Qurʾān describes God's speech as powerful and creative: "When he decrees something he merely says to it 'Be!' and it is." Just as impressively, when he desires to make an action obligatory he merely says "I oblige you to do it," or even just "do it!" This is an example of what some modern theorists of language call performative speech, which brings about a new state of affairs rather than just conveying information about what is already the case. This essay considers the emergence of the concept of performative speech in classical Islamic legal theory, presenting the debate over whether to regard God's speech as informative or performative as part of an ongoing argument over the nature of law, the nature of God's speech, and the relationship between them. After a brief discussion of Muḥammad ibn Idrīs al-Shāfiʿī (d. 204/820), the essay presents the views of four contrasting thinkers of the late 4th/10th and early 5th/11th centuries: the Shāfiʿī jurist and Muʿtazilī theologian ʿAbd al-Jabbār (d. 415/1025), who treated God's speech as a purely informative description from which human beings may deduce the details of an ontologically and epistemologically prior moral order; the Ḥanbalī Abū Yaʿlā Ibn al-Farrāʾ (d. 458/1066), who took the opposite tack, treating God's speech as a performative speech act that brings about obligations with the immediacy of a master's face–to–face orders to a slave; the Mālikī jurist and Ashʿarī theologian Abū Bakr al-Bāqillānī (d. 403/1013), who sought to have it both ways; and the Ḥanafī Abū Zayd al-Dabūsī (d. ca. 430/1038), who appears to have introduced the term inshāʾ into Sunni legal theory. These last two thinkers sought, in very different ways, to affirm that legal obligations are brought about by God's speech; yet they treated the language of revelation as a source of information and indicative evidence from which human interpreters could reconstruct the law through a flexible interpretive process.

Gentle Readers,
127 Hours is a jaw-dropping, roller coaster ride of a movie that thrills and terrifies at the same time.
Director Danny Boyle - Whoo! Amazing lighting, cinematography, claustrophobic framing, great score. I'm impressed. A stylish movie.
I've loved James Franco since Freaks and Geeks. He has turned into the actor I thought he would be when I watched that TV show. Excellent performance as mountain climber Aron Ralston, who says this movie is so accurate that it's as close as possible to being a documentary.
Ralston set out for a climb in Utah, fell into a canyon, and was there for five days. Obviously, he lived to tell the tale. Just in case you aren't familiar with his story, I don't want to give away too much; however, if you are squeamish, then be prepared to be a bit grossed out for a while. Having worked in the healthcare field, I didn't need to put my hands over my eyes, but I sure felt the tension build and build and build until finally -- RELEASE!
I'm a little disappointed that the DVD doesn't have extras, such as commentary by Boyle and Franco, and deleted scenes. I read on IMDB that the movie originally had a different ending. But Boyle wanted the DVD to be as much as possible like viewing the movie in a theater. I totally understand. Even though I don't have some ridiculously gigantic big-screen TV, I still felt the theatrical experience. And I loved it. I just loved it.
You should definitely take 127 minutes plus a few more to watch 127 Hours. It's outstanding.
Infinities of love,

The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is targeting one million student population in a quest to widen access to education.
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abdalla Adamu, said the current student population was 550, 000 with 150, 000 active and about 400, 000 inactive students.
"NOUN is the largest university in Africa and I will even say probably in the world.
"The reason is that the university currently has over 550,000 students; that is over half a million, our target is to reach one million students.
"If you look at these figures, we have to also break them down into what we call active and inactive students.
"Active students are the students who decide that they will like to take their examinations and, therefore, continue their studies. We have about 150,000 active students.
"Inactive students are student who for one reason or the other are unable to smoothly continue their studies; that is why NOUN is very flexible," he said.
Adamu added that the university created opportunities for students to study at their pace and financial convenience.
He noted that inactive students outnumbered the active ones because of the flexibility of study; but the others because of finances, could not continue immediately, but maybe two or three years later, they pick up.
"We have a lot of civil servants who want to get a qualification but cannot leave their jobs; so we created this opportunity for them so they can get education while working.
"Hence the logo of the university, 'Word and Learn'.
"Our focus really is more on undergraduate education, creating a minimum base," he said.
