If you’re someone who finds themselves with loose change on hand often, whether you’re putting it in a piggy bank or leaving on your nightstand, you might want to take a closer look at the coins; some of your pocket change could be worth more than you think!
A coin doesn’t need to be 100 years old to be worth money– more often than not, coins are given value by mistakes that occurred during printing.
The eye for detail will net you some extra cash if you find something, so it’s worth checking every so often!
What will I learn?
Valuable Pocket Change
I’ve got 8 different kinds of coins here – some imperfect and some just rare – that can net you some great extra cash if you find them.
1. Steel Penny from 1943 / Valued: Between 45¢ to $10
Believe it or not, there was a time when traditional American copper pennies were actually made from steel. This is mostly because copper was needed for wartime efforts. So for that one year, pennies were made from steel instead.
If you find one in great condition, you can trade it in for up to $10.

Doesn’t sound like much, but if you consider it, that’s 1000 times the worth of the penny– not bad at all!
2. Silver Quarter from 1932-1964 / Valued: Between $7 to $65
There’s nothing particularly unusual about this quarter from the outside, but if you analyze it, you’ll find it’s made from a whopping 90% silver.
This valuable composition makes it worth more than its weight to collectors, who are also aware of the unusual makeup.
Otherwise, this is just a normal quarter.
3. Silver Nickels from 1942-1945 / Valued: 56¢ to $12.25
Much like the story with the steel pennies, these nickels with 35% silver come from wartime when nickel needed to be used for other things.
And just like the collectors of the steel pennies, people looking for silver nickels are in it for the novelty.
It’s highly illegal to melt coinage down, so collectors aren’t in it for the raw materials.
4. Benjamin Franklin half-dollars from 1948-1964 / Valued: $12 to $125
Benjamin Franklin, the rebellious founding father of the U.S., was once honored on the half-dollar as well as the $100 bill.
You can recognize it by the picture of Ben as well as a bald eagle, so it should look pretty different from a regular half-dollar.
These only ran for a little over a decade, being replaced by a Kennedy coin following his assassination.
After that, Benjie was only honored on the $100 bill – still no small honor, to be sure.
5. Presidential dollar coins (with imperfect lettering). / Valued: $20 to $45
You may recall back in 2007 when the U.S. Mint began to print dollar coins in honor of the presidents. During the beginning of this production, there were a series of print mistakes that led to letters being misplaced or absent entirely.
You can see this especially on George Washington coins, but on some of the others as well.
They’ll fetch a pretty penny if you catch one.
6. Double-die penny from 1995 / Valued: $20-$50
When I say “double-die,” what I mean is that it has been pressed/printed onto twice. This means that the head side has a bit of a double-image effect, where the letters look blurry due to the double-pressing.
If you find one from 1995, you can fetch between $20-$50, but if you can catch one of the ones made between 1969-1972, they will be worth far more.
Definitely keep an eye out for them.
7. Kansas State Quarter from 2005 / Valued: Up to $100
The value of this coin will totally depend on its quality, due in part to the nature of its defect – the phrase “In God we Trust” is missing its T, causing the iconic ‘In God we Rust’ misprint.
They’re famous for this typo alone and will be reasonably worthwhile if you manage to find one.
8. Wisconsin State Quarter from 2004 (extra leaf) / Valued: Up to $300
Part of the same series of state quarters as the Kansas entry above, the Wisconsin state coin can be identified by the cow and cheese on the reverse (tail) side, or more obviously, by the word ‘Wisconsin’ on it.
A regular Wisconsin quarter from 2004 is just a quarter, worth 25¢ and no more.
However, if you find one that has an extra impression on it that looks like a leaf, you could be looking at quite a significant windfall.
Keep in mind that it comes in two types:
- The ‘High’ leaf
- And the ‘Low’ leaf (named for where they’re placed on the coin).
Keep an eye out and identify accordingly.
This is by far one of the more expensive collector coins out there, and there’s a good chance you could find one in circulation.
These 8 coins are some of the ones you should definitely keep an eye out for, but remember that there are more than 8 collector coins out in the world!
If you have a ton of change on hand, you might want to look up some more lists of coins that are rare and collectible – there’s some real money in it if you find some!

GULFPORT -- Former Long Beach High and Mississippi State University basketball player Marcus Bullard has been arrested on a charge of possession with intent to distribute spice, also known as synthetic marijuana.
The Sun Herald reports the 38-year-old Bullard was booked at the Harrison County jail Tuesday night. Details of his arrest were not immediately available from the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, the arresting agency.
He was held on a $50,000 bond, but is not eligible to post bail. He is held on a parole warrant from a crack cocaine conviction.
Bullard was on parole Dec. 26 when he was accused of firing shots at an acquaintance from a car in Gulfport. No one was injured.
The drive-by shooting charge has been bound over to a grand jury.

|Jensen Farms has recalled its Rocky Ford-brand cantaloupes in response to a multi-state outbreak of listeriosis. Cantaloupes from other farms have not been linked to this outbreak.|
The Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention reports that 35 people in 10 states have been infected with this strain of Listeria monocytogenes.
The FDA advises consumers - especially vulnerable populations, including older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women - not to eat the recalled cantaloupes and to throw them away.
Don't try to wash the bacteria off of the cantaloupes because contamination might be both on the inside and outside. Cutting, slicing, and dicing may also transfer harmful bacteria from the rind to the fruit's flesh.

The Time In Between Garden
Designed by Charlie Albone
Charlie Albone, an Australian-based designer has created his first RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden, a space to update his late father about his life since his father passed away. Aged just 17 when he lost his father, Charlie has been keen to tell his father about his life since. An emotive space, the garden has different sections, each telling the story. The first section celebrates life with beautiful, romantic planting; a water feature in the second section which is a space for reflection; and the third, at the rear of the garden, is an intimate space to sit, connect and communicate with loved ones. Varied textures and colours including silver, white, purple and pinks complement the hard landscaping with planting to be enjoyed and supply interest all year round with a highlight in spring.

Lockdown paintings 2020
March 2020. The whole country went into lockdown. I hurriedly collected together a few art materials from my studio to take home. I continue to find it difficult to articulate my thoughts and feelings from this time; painting was no longer an integral part of my daily life and became constrained, difficult and strange. I no longer had the luxury of the large, spacious studio; unable to make art at all for the first few weeks, I tentatively began to work on a very small scale, using watercolour paints.
On my return to the studio a few months later, I continued to work with this ‘new’ medium, with the addition of gouache, which was a brand new discovery. The paintings became bigger, more playful and hopeful. I rediscovered the excitement that comes with exploring a new medium.

We took these right after Christmas to celebrate their sweet baby boy’s first birthday, and, oh my, the winter sunset was just gorgeous. Even though all the trees have lost their leaves, you can still get a gorgeous sunny background in winter. They also brought their adorable puppies who were just so cute in their little sweaters! If you look through my blog, you’ll see so many families who have included their pets in their session. For sessions outdoors, I usually just recommend bringing an extra person to help. We also pick a location that allows pets, and this one is one of my favorites. I just couldn’t get over how gorgeous the light was this evening. Their littlest just turned one and so he had a sweet cupcake at the end, and big brother had so much fun running around and giggling. Such a sweet family, and I’m so glad we were able to squeeze this session in after the holidays.

AT&T uses Android as one-size-fits-all solution for 5 different types of customers
National wireless carrier AT&T on Tuesday simultaneously announced five new Android smartphones, none of which are flagship devices for the carrier, but each of which answers the needs of a specific type of phone user.
For the Power User: Motorola Atrix 2
Following up on last year's breakthrough Motorola Atrix 4G, AT&T announced the Atrix 2 which is equipped with a 4.3" (960x540) screen, "4G" HSPA+ connectivity, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera and front-facing VGA chat camera, enterprise-grade IPsec VPN, microSD encryption, and support for Enhanced Exchange ActiveSync. Like its predecessor, it also supports the Lapdock accessory, and has the Firefox webtop environment.
For the Businessman: Samsung Captivate Glide
Another follow-up phone, the Samsung Captivate Glide is a QWERTY-enabled 4G smartphone that is the successor to last year's Samsung Captivate, AT&T's Galaxy S smartphone.
It comes equipped with a 4" Super AMOLED screen, a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 AP20H dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, HSPA+ connectivity, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), 8MP Autofocus w/LED + 1.3MP front-facing chatcam, VPN support, on-device and SD encryption, Enhanced Exchange ActiveSync support for syncing email, contacts, calendar and tasks.
For the Teenager: Samsung DoubleTime
DoubleTime is a QWERTY flip phone with two 3.2" touchscreens, one on the inside and one on the outside. It's not a 4G device like the other two, and it is running on less powerful internals and software: a 600MHz Qualcomm processor, 260MB RAM, and Android 2.2 (FroYo). It also has a less-costly 3.2 Megapixel camera. This means the total package has a goodly amount of power and versatility, but no leading-edge hardware or software.
For the "General Consumer": Pantech Pocket
Pantech has historically provided mid- and lower-range devices in AT&T's portfolio that sport unique body designs, and the Pocket keeps this trend going in the Android realm as well. The Pantech Pocket's noteworthy design feature is that it has a 4" square (600 x 800) touchscreen instead of the usual "portrait" rectangular orientation. It runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), has a 5 megapixel flash camera, 600MB of internal memory plus a 2GB microSD card with support for cards up to 32GB in size.
For the pay-as-you-go Customer: AT&T Avail (ZTE)
This is only the second Android phone to hit AT&T's GoPhone service (the first being the LG Thrive), and another in what promises to be an increasing number of phones from Chinese manufacturer ZTE. This device features a 3.5" touch screen, 5- megapixel camera and Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). While none of the devices AT&T announced today included their price, this is certain to be the cheapest of the bunch.

Saving Money On Everyday Purchases With Wakeupnow
Total Articles: 9
In today's struggling economy, finding effective ways to monitor and manage your money is an extremely important part of living comfortably. Unfortunately, many people have difficulty creating a budget, planning for the future, and investing their money wisely. Even with full-time careers, individuals have to pay for mortgages, credit card payments, utilities, bills, and student loans. There are, however, consulting companies that assist people with budgeting, creating alternate streams of income, and managing their money.
Benefits of WakeUpNow
WakeUpNow is a financial wellness company that enables people to secure financial freedom by creating platforms that allow enrolled members to save significant sums of money. The company, which was founded in 2009, has a network of vendors that sell daily necessities and household items at discounted prices.
The company's founder, Muhlestein, created WakeUpNow when he was unemployed. The entrepreneur realized that a great way to achieve financial freedom was to build a platform that allowed people to accomplish their personal goals by purchasing everyday items.
Thankfully, though, this program does not sell products, nor does it offer pyramid-style promises. Instead, the company's network is designed to allow enrolled members the opportunity to save $300 per month if they take advantage of the benefits, deals, and discounts offered by the program's vendors.
Besides trimming money off of your monthly bills, this technology also gives members a chance to save on their annual income taxes, climb out of credit card debt, and improve their money-making knowledge.
The difference between this program and other affiliate systems is that Wake Me Up creates commission-based earnings, too. To earn a commission, simply encourage one of your friends or family members to purchase from one of the program's vendors. And, if three of your friends join the program, Muhlestien and his team will give you a free lifetime membership card. This lifetime membership has a number of special benefits, including access to a number of unique investing videos and webinars.
The products available for purchase via the Wake Me Up technology are primarily household items, toiletries, food, and personal care products. For example, cereal, shampoo, deodorant, and different types of clothing are products members can purchase from affiliate companies. Gasoline and electronics are other more expensive products available at a discount for Wake Me Up users.

I have finally finally finally tackled my headboard! I’ve been thinking about what to do for a while… Since last summer really. I’ve been loving those rustic upcycled wood headboards, like this one from Jenny Highsmith’s blog:
but I thought an upholstered headboard would be far better suited to my clumsy ways. (How nice will it be to hit my head at night on something padded?!)
Browsing Young House Love one day, I found my solution (see theirs here). Use a simple frame from an arts supply store. Easy!
However, since I got my love of DIY from my parents, I thought I’d see if my dad would make me one. He took my idea and ran with it. I’d love to take credit for his cleverness, but really, I never would have thought of this. He made me a much more secure frame than the vision I had in mind. Here’s what we did:
1. Build or buy your frame. You could easily start with one from an art supply store, but my dad threw one together with the spare pieces of wood he hand in his shop. For a queen size bed, 5′ x 3′ works well.
2. Cut a thin piece of plywood (this would would be about 1/8th of an inch thick?) to the width of your frame, in this case, 5′. Cut the length to a 1/2″ past your frame. If you don’t have the tools, (which I do not) I would guess that your local lumber store, like Home Hardware or Home Depot for example, would cut this to size for you. Keeping the two pieces flush on the top and on the sides, use a nail gun to nail your sheet of wood in place. This should create a “lip” on the back side of your frame.
It’s hard to capture on camera, but you can see the shadow from the lip on the top of my frame.
3. The thing I found especially clever here is that my dad didn’t leave me to hang a frame without any support to the wall. Instead, he built this:
The first piece is the same thickness as the frame. The smaller piece is the same length, but slightly shorter than the first. In fact, the difference is the same as the “lip” mentioned in step 2. We will later screw this piece to the wall, and then snugly hang the frame on top. The thickness of the second smaller piece depends on the thickness of your batting. You need to allow space for the thin sheet of wood (ie the “lip” of the frame), the batting and your upholstery fabric. My batting was quite thin, so this piece of wood sufficed.
Pictures may explain the system more clearly.
Awesome right? All we’ll need to do is screw the extra piece into the wall to hang it. Then, if we need to move it, we can simply unscrew it! Added security = less accidents for this accident-prone girl.
To clarify why he added a few extra pieces:
1. We added an another sheet of the thin plywood to entirely cover the front of the frame. This way, I will spray adhesive to the front before stapling my batting. Both of these steps will help prevent sagging in the fabric long term.
2. The second piece in the back on the bottom is just for added durability of the frame. If you bought yours, skip this step.
I am so excited to show you the reveal tomorrow! It took me ages to decide on a fabric, but I’m pleased with my choice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this twist inspired my Young House Love.

Temperature Dependence of the Main Piezoelectric Parameters of a Nb-Li Doped Pzt Ceramic
2006 / IEEE / 1-4244-0109-7
This item was taken from the IEEE Conference ' Temperature Dependence of the Main Piezoelectric Parameters of a Nb-Li Doped Pzt Ceramic ' A study was made on the temperature behavior of the main piezoelectric parameters, namely the electromechanical coupling factor kp, the mechanical quality factor Qm, the dielectric permittivity ¿ (real and imaginary part), the loss tangent tg¿ and the piezoelectric charge constants d33 and d31 of a soft type piezoelectric material. It was evidenced that temperatures under 150°C do not influence these parameters, which means that every transducer made from this type of material may be successfully used up to this temperature. Between 150oC and 250°C, the piezoelectric properties undergo more or less important changes, mainly due to the depoling effect. After that, at temperatures over 250°C, they degrade very rapidly, tending to zero.

Malta takes on the Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) for the first time since its accession to the EU. The Maltese mandate concludes the Trio formed with the Netherlands and Slovakia. With a strong focus on economy, the Trio programme also emphasized key areas of particular interest to the End FGM European Network: health, gender equality, protection of human rights, migration, international cooperation and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
FGM & the European Union FGM is a violation of the human rights of women and girls affected by the practice and amounts to torture. The European Parliament estimated that at least 500,000 survivors of FGM currently live in Europe, and that 180,000 are at risk of FGM each year, although the real figure could be higher given the hidden nature of the practice
The Network welcomes Malta’s commitment to continue to combat gender-based violence, “in particular by promoting the sharing of best practices and exchanging information on existing legislation, policies and strategies, as well as statistical data and studies”, and the related events scheduled in February 2017.
Building on these elements, on the Council Conclusions "Preventing and combating all forms of violence against women and girls, including female genital mutilation" of June 2014 and on the programme and priorities of the Maltese Presidency on migration and social inclusion, the Network calls on the Presidency and the Council to act, in the scope of its competences to:
- Ensure human rights remain a core priority in the EU agenda, notably by mainstreaming human rights issues when relevant in EU legislation and policy.
- Mainstream gender into the Council’s contributions to EU legislation and policy, in particular those related to human rights, migration and international protection, women’s rights, children’s rights and fight against gender-based violence, including female genital mutilation (FGM).
- Work in relation with the European Commission and Member States to ensure the effective transposition and implementation in all EU Member States of Directive 2012/29/EU (Victims’ Rights Directive), Directive 2011/95/EU (Qualification Directive), Directive 2013/32/EU (Asylum Procedures Directive) and Directive 2013/33/EU (Reception Conditions Directive).
- Work in collaboration with the European Parliament on the European Commission’s proposals to reform the Common European Asylum System to be voted in 2017, in particular by ensuring these proposals:
- Mainstream gender and human rights to enhance the protection of migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees.
- Give clear guidelines to Member States as regards the international protection of vulnerable groups fleeing past or fear of persecution, including FGM survivors and persons at risk of FGM e.g. gender and child sensitivity, access to female interviewers and interpreters, credibility assessment taking trauma into account, gendered data collection, acknowledgement of past persecution etc.
- Develop high standards as regards the qualification process, the asylum procedures process and the reception conditions of asylum-seekers and refugees to ensure the respect of human rights and international law.
- Create an effective and adequately funded EU Agency for Asylum to support Member States, in particular on country of origin information, training of asylum officers and fairness of the asylum system.
- Involve proper training of professionals e.g. health practitioners, public officers etc., notably on gender issues and gender-based violence, including FGM.
Istanbul Convention and the Sustainable Development Goals
- Encourage and invite all EU Member States to ratify and implement the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention).
- Work with relevant stakeholders, notably the EEAS, the UN, EU Member States’ governments and third countries to develop internal and external joint actions towards the implementation of Agenda 2030 on Sustainable Development.
⊠Resume and conclude negotiations with EU Member States to facilitate the access of the EU to the Istanbul Convention by the end of 2017.
Data collection and funding
- Encourage data collection using a common methodology on the prevalence of gender-based violence in each Member State, including in the asylum system, with a special focus on FGM.
- Work in collaboration with the European Parliament and the European Commission to ensure sustainable funding on relevant matters e.g. joint programmes between EU and third-countries organisations, programmes against harmful practices and violence against women, community-based awareness-raising and behavioural change programmes etc.
Member States and EU Institutions
- Call for Member States and EU Institutions and agencies to develop actions and programmes against violence against women in the framework of the year of focused actions to end VAW in 2017.
- Call for Member States to ensure appropriate training of relevant professionals (health practitioners, public officers, police, teachers, social workers etc.) and access to holistic and specialised services to address the issue of gender-based violence, including FGM.
⊠Call for Member States and the European Commission to develop education and awareness-raising actions and programmes on human rights and on gender-based violence, including on FGM and in collaboration with FGM-affected communities.
Call for Member States to develop actions and programmes to end VAW dedicated to prevention and protection from violence, including FGM, and to collaborate with each other and with third-country partners to identify and implement promising practices in this area.


(This story originally appeared in The Guardian)
Ask any accountant we’ll tell you that the Internal Revenue Service is woefully underfunded. Our clients complain about the long delays for refunds, the interminable waits for getting answers and the frustrations waiting for guidance on issues that affect their businesses.
But it’s not just accountants that are clamoring for more IRS funding. Most taxpayers I know will admit that the IRS needs a serious upgrade. So why the big brouhaha over the $80bn approved last year to hire more auditors and upgrade the agency’s pathetically outdated systems? The answer lies not in why it’s so badly needed. It’s in how badly it was sold to the American public.
We all pay for things we don’t like. We need to have insurance but we don’t like the premiums. We don’t really want to give a wedding gift to that fifth cousin or tip the waiter even though the service wasn’t that great. And of course, we pay taxes – and no one likes that either.
The same goes for the IRS. We know that everyone should be paying their fair share and we get that there has to be a government agency to oversee this. Making sure the IRS has adequate funding is a no-brainer. And yet here we are arguing over its need. For this, I blame President Biden and the Democrats.
The bipartisan Tax Foundation found that the costs to collect $100 (in 2021 dollars) has decreased 41% since 1991 and that during this same period, the amount collected per taxpayer has increased 45% and that the agency did this despite its much lower staff. These are impressive accomplishments when you consider that most of the agency’s systems are decades old.
Even so, Republicans and the media pounced on the $80bn allocated under the Inflation Reduction Act to be used for hiring more auditors and technology upgrades which could potentially save more than $1tn per year. And during recent talks to raise the US borrowing limit, Republicans somehow managed to claw a quarter of that amount back with plans to pursue more.
Most people in both parties understand the necessity to fund an agency whose sole objective is to ensure that everyone pays their fair share of taxes. But you can’t really blame Republicans for crying foul. This is what politicians do when there’s a slam-dunk issue like this. Big government: bad. Small guy taxpayer: good.
But there was a better way for the Democrats to achieve this funding, which, according to the Cato Institute, will increase the IRS’s budget from $5.2bn to $19.5bn by 2033 – about $1.4bn per year, which is just one-half of one percentage point of our country’s overall spending.
Why not bury some of this amount in the overall treasury department’s annual budget of $3.24tn? Over a 10-year period that funding could have been absorbed by the numerous subdivisions of the agency and then re-allocated back to the IRS in that bureaucratic way that bureaucrats do where no one really knows where or how the money was spent.
Or how about trying what any business owner would do when appropriating money to a project: assign quantifiable metrics and holds its recipients accountable? Make it such that the spending could be paused or even pulled unless these numerical goals are achieved each year. That way the Republicans could insist they’re holding their opponents’ feet to the fire, while the Democrats still get to spend the money.
Or you could take a pure tech angle and take people out of the equation. Remove and prohibit the “hiring” of new auditors and instead mandate that the funds only be used for technology. Better yet, AI technology because that’s what’s hot! Emphasize that the IRS is going to be the federal government’s leader in tech, reducing its headcount and increasing its output and responsiveness by leveraging the latest AI tools as it upgrades its systems. Of course, some may be scared by the prospect of out-of-control robots but it’s obvious to most of us who regularly deal with the IRS that – probably more than any other agency – most of what it does can be automated.
But no. Instead, Biden and the Democrats allowed an inordinate amount of attention to be drawn directly to the $80bn for the evil IRS, which in turn invited a tidal wave of backlash. This didn’t have to happen. With a little bit of thought, some maneuvering, finessing and manipulation, that money – which is sorely needed – could have been spent under the radar and much of this controversy could have been avoided.

Mustafa-Fetouri | –
Last February, the International Criminal Court (ICC) said it has jurisdiction over Gaza, Occupied Palestinian West Bank and East Jerusalem. The office of the Prosecutor, the announcement said, the “Government of Palestine” has accepted the Rome Statute, which established the Court over two decades earlier. This means the Government of Palestine is now an ICC member accepting, in principle, its jurisdiction.
This important development came seven years after the Palestinian Authority first asked the Court to investigate crimes “in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, since 13 June, 2014″. In comparison, it took only six days for the same Court to start investigating Russia for the alleged crimes committed during the invasion of Ukraine. The comparison here begs the question: “How far is the ICC prepared to go, and how long will it take to produce any results on Palestine?”
Honestly and pragmatically very little is expected from any investigation and it is likely the ICC will face pressure to shelve any criminal indictments against any Israeli military and political officials. It is almost certain that any investigation into any specific Israeli brutality in Palestine, like the last war on Gaza in 2014, will lead to top Israeli officials as it follows the chain of command.
Since Israel and its protector, the United States, are not members of the ICC and both refuse to accept or even recognise its jurisdiction, any investigation – let alone indictment – will not be easy. Israel has a long track record of flouting and breaking international law, and doing it again is no problem.

The Palestinians, as the underdogs, know this fact only too well, yet they have resisted all pressures and threats from Israel and the US not to press ahead with their application to join the ICC. And, despite the obstacles and delays, the very idea that the ICC will investigate Israel is really a big victory for Palestinians and their supporters.
This is the first time in the last seven decades Israel finds itself, legally, morally and politically cornered. Since its creation, as an independent State in 1948, Israel has never been forced to respond, let alone pay the price for its apartheid practices and daily killing of Palestinians.
This explains the Israeli fury at every level and the pressure and threats applied by its financier, the US, on the Palestinian side to forget about the ICC. As recently as last month, the outgoing Israeli Prime Minister, Yair Lapid, said that Israel “will not allow investigations by foreign parties” into the conduct of its army and security forces accused of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. Furious Israel has already rebuffed its American ally when Washington announced that its Justice Department has opened investigations into the murder of Palestinian-American journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, last May. Israel’s Defence Minister described the decision as “a grave mistake”. Last September, four months after Shireen’s murder, the Israeli Army admitted that one of its soldiers fired the fatal bullet. Just yesterday, Al-Jazeera network, Abu Akleh’s employer, submitted a dossier asking the ICC to investigate the murder.
Any ICC investigation is likely to include the ever expanding Israeli so called “settlements” which are spiralling to become outpost colonies intended to steal more Palestinian land, eventually annexing and incorporating it into Israel. All settlements are illegal under international law and Israel knows this, but continues to build more every year.
If Israel is rescued from the ICC, which is difficult but not impossible, it will be harder for Tel Aviv to escape the International Court of Justice (ICJ), or World Court, as it is known. In another legal and political blow to Israel and, with the support of the majority of UN member States, Palestine has scored another important victory on the international legal arena. 98 countries supported the UN’s General Assembly’s Decolonisation Committee, also known as Fourth Committee, resolution asking the ICJ to weigh in on the issue of Occupation. Only 17 States voted against the Resolution when it landed in the Assembly. That Resolution, passed on 10 November, asks the World Court if the continued Israeli Occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem is effectively, annexation, given its long nature, rather than temporary Occupation. It would be scandalous if the ICJ says otherwise.
Indeed, the ICJ is powerless when it comes to enforcing its decisions, just like the ICC. Regardless of what the World Court will decide, and when, the idea of asking its opinion ultimately throws a spotlight on the entire Israeli Occupation from a legal point of view. Not only that, but any judgement is likely to touch on Occupation-related issues, such as the inhumane treatment the Palestinians endure at the hands of the Israeli army, land confiscations and home demolition practices. Israel will certainly reject and condemn any ICJ decision, as it has already done so before. The Court, in 2014 judgement, found the Israeli Wall, built on Palestinian land, and all its “associated regime create a ‘fait accompli’ on the ground that could well become permanent”, i.e. illegal!
Any decision by the ICC and the World Court might have little benefits for the Palestinians; nonetheless, winning the legal and PR battle against Israel is very important. Such decisions also exposes Israel’s decades-old lie that its army, reinforcing the Occupation, is operating to the highest professional standards, while the reality is the exact opposite.
The entire Israeli army and security forces have, over the years, violated every international law and norm, including the Geneva Convention dealing with the protection of persons under Occupation. It has never respected any UN Security Council resolution and usually does not abide by its obligations as an occupying power to respect human rights, preserve the topography and demographics of the land under its Occupation. Even changing street names is a violation of those obligations.
While the crimes committed by Israel, its soldiers and army of settlers are proven beyond any reasonable doubt, having international legal organisations such as the ICJ and ICC pronounce it has the effect of focusing the international legal community on the matter, after decades of neglect.
Also, to focus public opinion on Palestine, Algeria is leading new efforts to have Palestine become a full UN member as decided by the Arab summit held in Algiers last month. Palestine is a non-voting UN member now.
Neither the ICJ nor the ICC is expected to hold Israel accountable any time soon. However, the Palestinian struggle is a long and painful incremental process, where every little step counts in an unjust world. Raising legal questions about the legitimacy of Israel’s Occupation is overdue, and now is the time for the world to ask such questions.

This is a true local hangout as it is located in the middle of a city residential area and attracts the regulars. A real pub feel is what draws them in with cozy booths, stools at the bar and a popular seasonal patio. The menu has the all-time British favorites such as fish and chips and shepherd's pie, but they also do a great job at small-portion mix-and-match appetizers if you just want a snack with a pint of beer.

In previous "Legally Speaking" columns, I've written about some rather creative defenses that defendants and their lawyers have concocted—with varying degrees of success.
From the accused tax evader who pleaded "fear of filing" syndrome to the IRS, to the murder defendant who blamed it all on "caffeine intoxication," I thought I'd heard it all; that is, until now.
It seems that the defenses or excuses people will come up with in an attempt to avoid guilt are limited only by their imagination. Here are a few new ones.
The "God Told Me To" Defense
Earlier this year, Levon Sarkisyan was arrested for breaking and entering a Farmington, Conn., home. He allegedly caused more than $10,000 in property damage, and even showered and dressed in clothes belonging to one of the residents.
Facing charges of burglary and criminal mischief, Sarkisyan claims that a "light from above" appeared, and God told him to commit the burglary. Hopefully, God told him to get a good lawyer, too.
"The Boogeyman Did It" Defense
On June 12, police in Naples, Fla., arrived at the scene of a motorcycle accident in the middle of the afternoon. There they found a "highly aggressive and combative" James Scarborough trapped underneath his motorcycle on the side of the road.
Noting his bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and "strong odor of alcohol," police charged him with driving under the influence. Scarborough's explanation for the crash?
According to police officers, Scarborough claimed "the Boogeyman did it." Scarborough has been charged with DUI, driving without a license, obstructing police, and refusing a sobriety test. Perhaps he will call the Boogeyman as an expert witness?
The "I Am Not of This Spiritual Plane and Your Laws Do Not Apply To Me" Defense
In Victoria, Australia, policeman Andrew Logan pulled over Eilish De' Avalon for talking on her cellphone while driving one fine February day in 2010. Little did he know that, seconds later, he'd be hanging on for dear life.
When he asked to see her driver's license, Ms. De' Avalon—a self-styled "pagan priestess"—said she didn't need one, since she was from another world and earthly laws did not apply to her.
She abruptly sped off, as Logan clung to the car. The policeman was dragged for about 200 yards before he managed to grab her car keys as she slowed down to turn a corner.
De' Avalon was taken to an earthly jail before being brought before an earthly judge, one Judge Geoff Chettle. The proclaimed witch not only had injured a police officer (Logan suffered arm and shoulder injuries), but she also had several prior convictions for dangerous driving.
Judge Chettle sentenced her to two months in jail, revoked her driver's license for a year, and imposed a stiff fine. As she was being led away, De' Avalon told the judge "I decline your offer."
Judge Chettle explained that it was "non-negotiable." Next time, Ms. De' Avalon, stick with a broomstick; you'll probably get better mileage anyway.
The "I Can't Leave My House for Trial" Defense
Sixty-two-year-old Colin Watson of Middlesborough, England, is an agoraphobic (a person with a crippling fear of public places). He hasn't left his house in at least six years, and because of his condition (along with a heart ailment and circulatory problems), Watson receives regular benefits under England's welfare system. In fact, he's received the equivalent of nearly $200,000 in just six years, according to published reports.
With few outside expenses, prosecutors say, Watson found a use for his spare cash—he allegedly ran an illegal loan sharking operation out of his house. But when authorities brought criminal charges against him, they ran into a problem: how do you bring a man to trial when psychiatrists say he can't leave the house?
While the judge was skeptical, he called for a professional report into Watson's inability to leave the house and stand trial, and the court even explored the possible use of a video link at the defendant's house in order to conduct a trial.
Ultimately, it was decided that a trial could not occur because of Watson's agoraphobia, and the court had no choice but to find Watson formally not guilty on all charges. Agoraphobics 1, justice system 0.
The "I was Sleepwalking" Defense
The recent trial of a man in Calgary, Canada, for the brutal assault and beating of an escort featured an interesting defense: parasomnia, a mental disorder in which a person commits involuntary acts while sleeping.
Sleepwalking is a subcategory of this disorder, according to mental health professionals, as is "restless leg syndrome" and "night terrors."
The defendant allegedly hit the victim with a baseball bat, choked her until she passed out, and attempted to sexually assault her; when she escaped, he pursued her. According to his defense lawyers, all of this was done while the defendant was asleep.
He claimed to have no memory of the attack, and the judge found the expert testimony backing this up quite credible.
While the defendant wasn't acquitted outright (he'll have to undergo psychiatric assessment and treatment), the judge ruled that he wasn't capable of forming the necessary intent to commit a crime.
In fact, this is not the first use of a "sleepwalking defense" in the courts. It's been employed at least seven times since 1846, and has led to acquittals in three of those cases.
A theory like that gives new meaning to the term "the defense rests."

Winged flames take the blackness from death.
Cleansing the wounds in the stars fiery ashes

Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas are going their separate ways after 18 years of marriage. According to TMZ, the actress filed for divorce from Banderas, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. According to the website, Griffith, 56, is asking for child support and sole physical and joint legal custody of the couple's daughter, Stella, 17. She also asks for spousal support in the documents, filed by attorney to the stars Laura Wasser. The Working Girl star and the Spaniard, 53, have battled breakup rumors for years. The two met in Miami while on the set of 1993’s Two Much.
Hasta la vista
Jennifer Lopez is also a single woman, having split for real from Casper Smart. Those transgender flirtation rumors may have been too much to bear for the American Idol judge. A source told People a more politically correct reason: “The relationship had just run its course.”
But regarding their Instagram “chat,” Sofie Vissa told In Touch that she/he and Smart were trading racy photos and shared one of the fit dancer in his boxers.
Still, Vissa feels guilty. “I didn’t reach out to Casper for what it led to,” she tells the magazine. “It’s something Casper and Jennifer need to talk about. They need to figure out or fix whatever is wrong. He is looking to fill some void.”
Mad about Jane
The American Film Institute’s celebration of Jane Fonda was like a who’s who of Hollywood women. Meryl Streep, Sally Field, Sandra Bullock, Lily Tomlin and Cameron Diaz were among the actresses saluting the 76-year-old Oscar winner, who accepted AFI’s 42nd Life Achievement Award Thursday at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre. Guests at the private ceremony — which is set to air as a special on TNT June 14 — included Chelsea Handler, Melanie Griffith, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Gay Harden, Rosario Dawson, activist Eve Ensler and Disney president Anne Sweeney. Tomlin described Fonda as “an evolutionary agent for our species.”

Foreigners who break the law will be treated like US citizens who break the law—and that includes separating children from interned parents, which is the norm for American citizens, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has said, defending the policy of separating arrested illegal invaders from their children.
Speaking in a radio interview, Sessions said that the policy which results in the children of illegal immigrants being separated from their parents after crossing the border illegally was the same policy applied to any American lawbreaker, yet no-one seemed to think anything wrong with the latter.
“If people don’t want to be separated from their children, they should not bring them with them,” Sessions said. “We’ve got to get this message out. You’re not given immunity.”
Under previous administrations, illegal invader families arrested after crossing the border have been released for civil deportation hearings—but the new policy of halting this automatic release process (cancelled because most of the invaders just “vanish”) means that they are now detained in prison.
As children are not allowed in criminal jails, the new policy means that increasing numbers of these invader families are now being separated from their children.
Sessions drew the parallel with how the legal system deals with American citizens.
“Every time somebody gets prosecuted in America for a crime, American citizens, and they go to jail, they’re separated from their children,” Sessions said.
“If you come to the country, you should come through, first, through the port of entry and make a claim of asylum if you think you have a legitimate asylum claim. You shouldn’t try to get across the border at some desert site, some remote site unlawfully and expect not to be promptly deported. We’ve caught, over the years, millions of people, and they’ve been promptly deported. They don’t get trial in federal court.”
Sessions denied that the separation of children from their parents was the goal of the policy. In April, senior immigration officials said that filing criminal charges against migrants, including parents with their children, would be the “most effective” way to stanch illegal border crossings.
Children whose parents are arrested by immigration officials are transferred to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which attempts to place them with other relatives or foster parents.
The agency’s Administration for Children and Families is caring for more than 11,000 “unaccompanied children” at the moment, and it is averaging about 45 days to place children.
Due the nature of the mass invasion of America underway from the nonwhite world, a backlog that has developed at the HHS which has resulted in hundreds of invader children kept in custody at U.S. border stations for more than the limit of 72 hours.

The 195 Americans who fled Wuhan, China this week and are now being housed at March Air Reserve Base in Ontario, California will be quarantined for two weeks, tweeted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday.
NPR reported the CDC as saying that the 14-day period began with their removal from Wuhan on Tuesday. CDC official Dr. Nancy Messonnier told NPR that the quarantine order is “an unprecedented action” in response to “an unprecedented public health threat.”
“We would rather be remembered for overreacting than under-reacting,” said Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, on a press call with reporters, according to The Washington Examiner. Messonier said she does not believe the presence of the quarantined evacuees will affect the residents of Ontario, NPR said.
The quarantine comes a day after the director of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared “a public health emergency of international concern” over the outbreak of coronavirus, which to date has killed at least 200 people and infected at least 9,800 worldwide, according to the New York Times. The vast majority of those deaths and infections were in China, the Times reported, with only about 100 cases reported in 19 other countries.
Earlier on Friday, the State Department warned Americans not to travel to China. The Department of Defense is also monitoring the situation.
“I approved a directive apprising our forces about precautions they should take, how to recognize the signs and symptoms of the virus,” said Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper in a statement Friday morning. “The Department of Defense continues to work closely with our interagency partners as we monitor the situation and protect our service members and their families, which is my highest priority.”
There is no vaccine yet to prevent coronavirus infection. The CDC recommends taking everyday preventive measures to stay healthy, including the following:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
If you have been to China in the last 14 days and feel sick with fever, cough or difficulty breathing, CDC recommends the following:
- Seek medical care right away. Before you go to a doctor's office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
- Avoid contact with others.
- Not travel while sick.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
- Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to avoid spreading the virus to others. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

Catcher of fastballs, fighter of fires, Montembeault '22 stays the path
The bed of Michael Montembeault’s pickup truck is full – and equally divided – with the trappings of his life these days: baseball equipment and firefighting gear.
But that is about to change. There is the matter of one remaining collegiate stint on the baseball diamond – a Senior Day game – but after Michael graduates from Keene State a day later, the longtime catcher’s baseball equipment will no longer need to be within easy reach. The firefighting gear will.
The affable senior, known by those closest to him as just “Monty,” will enter the real world as it is known and become a firefighter in the city in which he was born and raised and loves, Manchester, NH.
He will graduate with a degree in Safety & Occupational Health Applied Sciences and an education that, he says, was the perfect fit that he imagined and hoped for.
“I have felt challenged, but not overwhelmed at Keene State,” Michael says. “It has been nothing but good. Some classes are tougher than others, sure, but there is so much help here if you are struggling. And they let you know early enough if you are struggling or getting behind, that you won’t get into trouble.”
Michael has known for as long as he can remember what he wanted to be when he grew up. To be a firefighter, is a calling of sorts, he feels.
When Michael was recently polishing his resume, he went back over records with his fire services mentor, Charles Pierson, and found that, during his four years at Trinity High School in Manchester, he logged more than three hundred hours of volunteer ride time with Engine Station 2, which covers the West Side of the state’s largest city and is one of ten stations in Manchester.
Pierson is the 20-year captain of Station 2.
“He’d come in at 9 AM and stay until 11 at night,” Pierson recalls of the dozens of ride-alongs. “He’d be there 14 hours sometimes. And when there was time for training, he’d be there for that, too.”
Pierson said Michael’s passion and desire to learn stand out.
That, “And he likes giving back,” he says. “He has been that way for as long as I have known him.”
Pierson notes, for example, that Michael participates in the CHaD Battle of the Badges Baseball Classic, which is contested each year at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester to benefit children and programs at Dartmouth Health Children’s and the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. It pits state firefighters against police officers. This year’s game is in August.
Michael still has his EMT certification to complete, he says, which he hopes to do between now and the end of June. At a fire academy in Concord over the summer, he earned requisite certificates in Firefighter 1, Firefighter 2, Hazmat Operations Awareness and Fire Ground Survival, he says. His Keene State studies provided other hazmat training, he said, as well as critical incident response classes. His broader degree, he said, leaves future doors open.
“If there comes a time,” he says, “when I don’t want to crawl hallways anymore, this degree will give me other opportunities.” Michael, 23, took a bridge year after high school to prep at Bridgton Academy in Bridgton, Maine.
“I didn’t feel I was ready for college just then, academically or athletically,” he says. “It was a good move for me. I could have gone straight to work, but I did want to see if I could play college baseball.”
Michael’s father, Jeff, was a standout baseball player at New England College (NEC) who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs, though his career was shelved because of an injury. He is the founder of the NH Bobcats, an elite travel baseball program with six New England titles in various age groups.
Interesting thing, Michael adds, a career baseball highlight for him was homering in his first at-bat in his first collegiate start, as a freshman. That was against his father’s alma mater. That year, too, Michael says, NEC went on to reach the College World Series.
COVID-19 interrupted the Owls’, and Michael’s, sophomore, season. It came crashing down while the team was playing spring ball in Florida, Michael says. Michael became a regular starter his junior year. “Catching is what I knew,” he says. “It’s a tough position, physically and mentally.”
He said another personal career baseball highlight occurred earlier this season in a home conference game against Castleton State. He was not part of the highlight, but witness to it. His close friend and roommate, Michael Collins, roped a walk-off hit to cap a comeback win.
“It was my birthday, too,” Michael said. “I was so happy for him. He has worked so hard, and for him to have that moment was great.”
Michael credits his time with a Fire Explorers Post in Manchester that he joined when he was 14 years old and stayed with for a couple of years. In time it provided him the opportunities for those ride-alongs and trainings, and it is when he really “fell in love” with firefighting, he says. Today, he is helping other students have that same experience, working as a volunteer instructor with the Richmond (NH) Fire Department’s Juniors Program.
“(Firefighting) as a field is always changing; there are so many things into which you can go,” he says. “It’s good to stay involved this way, and to let younger people know that there is more to this work.”
He credits his family – father Jeff, mother Dina, older sister Jessica, and his grandparents – and a close circle of college and hometown friends and teammates for being positive and stabilizing influences in his life.
He is thankful, he said, for the fire services brotherhood, too, that he already feels a part of. That includes, he says, Pierson, Richmond Chief Ed Atkins, Richmond Deputy Chief Rob Skrocki and Richmond Captain Spencer Heise, all of whom he said he counts among his closest friends.
And then there is baseball, and the lessons and bonds that one derives from being a student-athlete. They are real and lasting.
“Michael’s experience within our program and the Richmond Fire Department have helped strengthen his natural instinct to be a good teammate,” Justin Blood, Keene state baseball coach, said. “He’s a good communicator and very aware of the needs of his peers.”
At Keene State, Blood said, Michael “built strong relationships within our program, his academic program, and the community. It’s what every student at Keene State should strive for.”
The pickup bed – aka his workbench of baseball and firefighting tools – will stand as a perfect metaphor for Michael’s college days and long-held aspirations.
However, the time for the next chapter has arrived, and Michael is ready, he says.
The calling is still loud and clear.


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The tremendous load growth associated with electric vehicle (EV) adoption coupled with variable generation from renewable power sources is expected to challenge grid stability. To support grid reliability, electric mobility companies can serve as “virtual power plants” by providing valuable real-time services to the grid. These services include “demand response” operations, where charging stations provide immediate relief to the electric grid by shedding load at a moment’s notice.
Revel is partnering with GridRewards™, a groundbreaking virtual power plant software, to dynamically adjust the charging schedule of its electric moped fleet to enhance the resilience of New York City’s electric grid. In addition to supporting grid resilience, the partnership between Revel and GridRewardsTM is supporting a cleaner grid. The sources of power generation activated at times of highest demand, known as “peaker plants,” emit twice as much carbon dioxide per unit of electricity than regular power plants and 20 times as much nitrogen oxides.
When New York City experienced a severe heat wave the week of June 28th, Revel shifted the timing of its charging sessions and avoided the peak usage hours when electricity is dirtiest and most expensive. In doing so, Revel’s actions were akin to powering 100 homes with carbon free energy. It is this type of dynamic energy use that is critical to a successful transition to a clean energy economy.
“As we continue to expand our electric mobility products, we plan to be an asset to the grid rather than a liability,” said Paul Suhey, Revel COO & Co-Founder. “Our EV infrastructure and charging operations can play a major role in helping NYC transition to a cleaner electric grid.”
“As transportation electrifies, it is imperative that electric mobility companies schedule their charging operations to promote grid resiliency,” says David Klatt, Logical Buildings Vice President of Operations. “Revel is taking necessary steps to ensure it is a leader in intelligent charging operations, paving the way for the smooth electrification and decarbonization of NYC.”
Individual Con Edison customers in New York City and Westchester can also get paid to unplug and participate in the GridRewards™ program by downloading the free app via the App Store and Google Play or Web. Through leveraging data from the utility provider’s new smart meters, the app prompts users to take simple electricity-reducing actions during high demand time periods to earn cash. GridRewards™ puts the power to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions into the hands of residents and businesses.
Activities such as dimming lights and unplugging energy-intensive appliances offer cash rewards and diminish the need for pollution-inducing peaker plants. Smart meter customers using GridRewards™ can receive cash rewards of up to 20 percent of their annual energy bills.
Developed by AI technology solutions leader Logical Buildings, GridRewards™ was honored with a coveted Mark of Excellence Award for “Energy Efficiency Product of the Year 2021” from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA).
