High School AP Government Class Helps Families of Civil Rights Murder Victims After Lobbying CongressBreaking News

Ethan Ehrenhaft is a Washington, DC, native and senior history major at Davidson College in North Carolina. He is co–editor in chief of The Davidsonian, the college’s student-run newspaper.
Della McDuffie’s official death certificate states that she died in 1953 from a cerebral hemorrhage, caused by a condition preceding her death. The night of her death, the sheriff of Wilcox County, Alabama, raided the café she owned with her husband. An elderly and disabled African American woman, she was unable to flee during the turmoil. The FBI declined to pursue an investigation—even after her husband died the next year under mysterious circumstances. According to NAACP legal records, however, Della McDuffie was beaten to death.
Since 2006, the FBI has identified over 100 unsolved murder cases from the civil rights era, most involving African Americans allegedly slain at the hands of hate groups. Under the Emmett Till Act of 2007, the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) began reopening these cases. As of June 2019, the DOJ has fully investigated 116 cases, closing 104 of them without prosecution or referral to states. Only two have been federally prosecuted.
While discussing the Civil Rights Movement in the fall of 2015, Stuart Wexler’s AP Government students at Hightstown (New Jersey) High School became frustrated over the lack of publicly available information regarding cold cases. After experiencing the inefficient process of requesting documents through the Freedom of Information Act, the students began drafting a bill closely modeled on the JFK Records Act but designed to address civil rights cold cases.
On January 8, 2019, nearly four years of relentless phone calls, draft edits, and lobbying trips to Washington, DC, paid off when President Trump signed the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act into law. With Trump’s signature, congressional historians believe, the Hightstown students are likely the first high schoolers to write a law passed by Congress and signed by a president.

Ogun State Governor and All Progressives Congress’ candidate for Ogun Central Senatorial District, Mr Ibikunle Amosun, on Monday said he would work against governorship candidate of APC, Mr Dapo Abiodun, in the 2019 governorship poll.
Amosun said this while addressing a stakeholders’ meeting of APC attended by his preferred governorship candidate and the candidate of Allied People’s Movement, Mr Adekunle Akinlade, at Presidential Suites in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
As Amosun was addressing his supporters, a former state governor, Mr Olusegun Osoba, at another venue described those against Abiodun’s candidacy as “disappointed” party members.
Amosun, however, said he would remain in APC to contest the senatorial seat and ensure re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said he was in support of the action of APC aggrieved members who dumped the ruling party for APM.
Amosun’s statement came as 26 aggrieved candidates of APC loyal to him announced their movement to APM.
God won’t forgive me if I dump Akinlade – Amosun
Amosun, who said he had attempted to stop the defection of Akinlade and other aggrieved candidates to another party, said God would not forgive him if he had stopped them from protecting the tickets given to them during APC primaries.
The governor disclosed that some people, whose name he did not mention, had been begging him to ensure the unity of the party in the state.
He said his only condition to them was to return the name of Akinlade as governorship candidate of APC before any discussion could take place.
He said, “When these people came, they told me they were leaving APC, I said ‘no’ but I couldn’t stop them. In fact, Akinlade has my full support. I am not going to stop him. Everything I have, I will use to support him, let them try whatever they want to try, we also have our strategies and I am not going to hide behind one finger.
“I remain in APC because that’s what those people want. They want us to leave APC but they are joking. I will stay in APC to ensure that Mr Buhari wins in Ogun State and to let them know that they can’t subvert the will of the people of Ogun State.
“Every day, I will campaign for Buhari. We will do everything possible to ensure Buhari wins massively in Ogun State, but they should not miss it. I, Ibikunle Amosun, will not support anyone (Dapo Abiodun) they are bringing.
“Why would a reasonable person with less than 10 per cent lord it over the majority? It can’t happen. They know there was only one primary and they have called me to say that, and we have done everything possible to right the wrong, but they are already destroying the party.
“God will punish me if I stop Akinlade. All of you who are supporting Akinlade, you have my support and blessing. They are talking about party supremacy, what happens to party supremacy at the local level?”
Political offices’ll be zoned – Osoba
However, Osoba promised that APC would zone all political offices, if its governorship candidate, Abiodun, won the governorship election in 2019.
Osoba said this on Monday at the formal unveiling of APC governorship running mate, Mrs Noimot Salako-Oyedele, held at his Abeokuta residence, saying that the next APC administration in the state would place more premium on zoning all political offices in order to give members a sense of belonging.
According to him, it was the zoning arrangement of all political offices that made him disagree with Amosun.
He said he would not support a situation where a particular zone would benefit from the appointments to the disadvantage of the other two districts.
However, Osoba implored all chieftains and members of the party to work in harmony.
He stated, “Whether they like it or not Abiodun has become the Ogun State APC governorship candidate. Those who don’t wish APC well have been disappointed. The task has begun. We are in the midst of enemies and we should come together as one.
“I want to urge all, that we have just started. I am 80 years old and I am old enough to say things the way they are. We don’t want any group within APC. It is an insult.
“We are just going into an election period and we should stop insulting our candidate.
“From now onward, let us be one. Leaders, don’t hold group meetings, but what you should be having is APC meeting as a party and it should be for the governorship candidature of Abiodun.
“Three-quarter of your poster should bear the APC logo, a quarter for a candidate’s picture and another quarter for the party’s slogan.
“So, as we are moving today, disunity is over. We are fighting a vicious war and we should fight it within the purview of APC constitution. Go and deliver your polling booths.”
Prominent leaders in attendance included the governorship standard bearer, Abiodun, running mate, Salako-Oyedele, Messers Gbenga Kaka, Gbenga Obadara, Akin Odunsi, Dipo Odujinrin, Tunji Egbetokun, and Segun Adesegun.
Governor’s loyalists defect to APM
Earlier on Monday no fewer than 26 loyalists of Amosun on Monday announced their defection from APC to APM.
The defectors were aggrieved members of APC who claimed to have won the legislative primaries of APC conducted by the state election committee appointed by National Working Committee.
Addressing journalists on behalf of other members, their spokesperson, Mr Lamidi Olatunji, said they were declared winners by the committee chairman, Mr Ali Ciroma, but were denied Independent National Electoral Commission’s forms for nomination as APC candidates by the party’s national leadership till it closed on December 2.
Okatunji in his speech titled, “Why we are leaving APC for APM,” said, “After extensive and due consultations with our elders, members and stakeholders in APC in Ogun State, we have come to the inevitable conclusion to seek the mandate of our people in 2019 elections on the platform of the Allied People’s Movement.
“We wish to state that this is without prejudice to the progressive ideals which have endeared our candidature and our political group to the good people of Ogun State.”
He however said,” We regret that Mr President’s efforts were frustrated by forces hell bent on taking South-West back to the dark age of slavery where unelected kingpins direct affairs of the people.
“We are committed to the second term of Buhari and we are determined to deliver Ogun State to him in the presidential election come February 16, 2019 by the grace of God.
“We are going to work tirelessly for the election of Akinlade who was overwhelmingly elected as governorship candidate of APC but denied the ticket by the same forces that hijacked our tickets.”
Speaking on the roles of Amosun in their defection, the group’s spokesperson exonerated the governor, saying they were old enough to take decisions without the input of their boss.
He said, “Governor Amosun is still in APC while we have moved to APM. Governor Amosun has nothing to do with our decision to defect to APM.”
If we lose one person, three will join us – APC
But national leadership of the APC said though it was pained to lose any of its members, three people would join the party in place of one defector.
The party said the gale of defections rocking it should not also be interpreted that reconciliation had failed among its members.
The ruling party said it was also wrong to assume that reconciliation was targeted at its three governors who had been accusing the national leadership of the party of bias in the conduct of party primaries in their states.
The governors are Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, Amosun (Ogun State) and Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara State ).
National Publicity Secretary of APC, Mr Lanre Issa-Onilu, who spoke with one of our correspondents in Abuja on Monday, said the party would take solace in the fact that it was doing the right thing by its actions which he said were aimed at deepening democracy.
He said, “Reconciliation has not failed. The reconciliation we are carrying out is not because of three governors that were supposed to be aggrieved, no. It is not because of them.
“The reconciliation committees were set up for all members irrespective of what level of primary they were involved in – whether House of Assembly, whether House of Representatives.
“So, it was for everybody no matter what the grievances are. But a section of the media felt it was just because of just three people (governors).
“If it was just because of the three people, we will not get about the 19 governors involved and other eminent personalities to be involved as well. That is not just for three people.

|Worker's Comp and Legislative Maps Priorties for Quinn
|(IRN)-Illinois' spring legislative session is winding down, and with just a few weeks to go lawmakers still have a lot of big ticket items to consider.
One such proposal is one of Governor Pat Quinn's top priorities: workers' compensation reform. Quinn says his plan is the best plan, and has introduced it to both chambers. He did not specify what was wrong with a Senate Republican-backed measure that failed earlier this month.
"It didn't get enough votes, obviously," he says. "There's a lot of different interests when you try to pass a bill, if you try to tilt one way and don't think of other folks sometimes you don't get enough votes."
Quinn says his plan aims to save Illinois businesses roughly $500 million a year.
One of the governor's other priorities is approval of a new, fair, legislative map. Lawmakers have presided over hearings in both chambers for the past few weeks to take testimony about what the new maps, which are redrawn every ten years, should look like.
"We want to make sure we don't have lines drawn that look like they were drawn by somebody who's majoring in Egyptian hieroglyphics," said Quinn, addressing a gathering at Western Illinois University. "That's happened, I guess, elsewhere. But we don't want that to happen in Illinois."
Many groups have testified before redistricting committees to advocate ideas such as some districts in which 65 percent of residents are ethnic minorities. Some of those ideas propose maps that draw oddly-shaped districts, but Quinn says he places a higher priority on "the common good."

JuvedermAn injectable facial filler is used to soften deep folds and reduce wrinkles in the faces of patients. Juvéderm’s prime use is removing nasolabial folds, or “smile lines,” creases of skin which run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth. It is also used as a lip augmentation agent, and to fill in hollow places and scars on the face. Juvéderm can also be used to plump lips, which also lose fat and internal shape with normal aging.
BotoxBotox Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is used for the temporary improvement of glabellar lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows, known as frown lines), in adults. It is also used for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe lateral canthal lines, known as crow’s feet, in adults.
VolumaVoluma is unique in that it is specifically indicated for restoring volume loss in larger areas of the face than other fillers. Its thick gel consistency and unique formulation allow it to be injected deeply into hollow areas with a small needle. It is smooth, pliable gel filler that produces even, consistent results. The results of Voluma injections are seen immediately and studies have indicated the results are long-lasting, lasting up to 18 months with a treatment regimen.

It was pretty dark out, I guess you could say, and even though I was holding onto my momma’s hand, I was pretty scared. She taught me to spell it ‘momma,’ you know. I used to spell it m-a-m-a like everyone else but one day she came up to me and said that wasn’t the way that it had to be. So I started doing it this way.
But that night it was pretty dark, or getting dark—at first the sky was gray and orange, like a salmon had gotten its belly slit open and was hanging up above the hills. A few days before, my father had told me a story about this great big pig that lived near the Popo Agie River. He said it liked to eat kids, that when the night came it would rumble out of the forest, stomach sloshing full of blood. Slish slosh slish slosh. So that was the sound I was listening for as we walked along, as I held onto my momma’s hand and tried to pick apart the shadows at the edge of the road.
The first thing that went wrong is that we almost stepped right onto a rattler. I was plodding along a few steps behind my momma, being scared of the forest, you know, and I didn’t even hear it at first. We were scuffing about a lot of rocks, not just crunchy gravel but clattering stones, too—probably ones that came out of the Popo Agie a long time ago. That’s why they are round and that’s why they make that sound, all smooth and crackly. So I almost didn’t hear the rattler. But my Momma did and she tugged on my hand so tight I thought she had seen the pig and it had come to take me away. But instead there was that snake, all curled up in the middle of the road, telling us not to step on it. It hissed at us and even after the sound had stopped its mouth hung wide open like it was just waiting to swallow us whole. Right about then I started getting scared of the snake instead of the pig—in fact I clean forgot about the pig. Like my teacher Mrs. Trudy had picked up the board eraser and scrubbed away at my brain. I was just staring at the snake, but thankfully my momma knew better and she took some steps back and I was dragged with her. I don’t think we can get around it, she said. She sounded sort of confused, like she hadn’t expected to see this snake right smack-dab in the middle of our road. It really was right in the very middle, on the ridge that the car tires don’t touch so it’s a little higher than the rest and the water spills off of it on both sides when it rains.
Remember it was getting dark and snakes usually aren’t out so late, once the sun goes away and they can’t get warm anymore. But I guess it was a hot day. I guess it was all stuffed with warmth and didn’t want to move just yet. We stood and stared at it for a while—I swear it left its mouth open the whole entire time—and finally my momma said Let’s take the high road. I actually thought that was kind of funny because we had read a book in class that day with rhymes and expressions and stuff and there was this great purple caterpillar that went over the hill instead of knocking over the spider’s web. But my momma looked annoyed that I was laughing so I stopped.
Once we turned around I could see the river and I started getting nervous about the pig again. But soon it was so dark I couldn’t even really see the river ahead of us, just the road glowing whitely a little bit out in front of us. I was trying to pick up my feet so I didn’t scuffle so much, so that we were just crunching along instead of spreading the stones about. I didn’t want to run into any snakes again. But I was concentrating so much on my footsteps and listening for rattlers and for sloshing blood that I didn’t hear the truck coming up the road. I saw the headlights and they just confused me at first, but then my momma was slowing down and moving to the side of the road and I understood. I squinted to try and see the color of the truck, but of course that didn’t help. I thought maybe it was Mr. Jameson in his powder-blue truck but it didn’t slow down until after it passed us so I figured it was someone we didn’t know. For some reason, my momma got a little nervous when the brake lights became a brighter red and the tire sounds slowed down, but I was hoping they would come back and give us a ride. I mean it was really dark by then. And I remember that the truck driving by brought the air with it and the hairs on my arms stood up with the chill. But for some reason my momma started walking again, now faster, in the way we had been moving already, away from the car. It hadn’t stopped all the way yet and I just kind of let her pull me along. She was moving really fast now and I thought she was scared, but I didn’t think it was about snakes or the Popo Agie pig. A breeze was starting to pick up and I could smell the sweetness of the clay along the side of the road—it had rained the night before; the river was especially high, even for the spring—and I also smelled something musky and sour. I think maybe that smell was coming from my momma.
Who was in the truck? I asked, and maybe she shook her head because I thought I heard her earrings rattle like the snake’s tail, a warning, but she didn’t say anything. Was it blue? Was it Mr. Jameson? I said, because I wanted it be Mr. Jameson even though I knew that it wasn’t him, that if it had been he would have pulled over and driven us home, even though he lived down by the river and we lived on the other side of the butte. No, she said. No, I don’t know who it was.
As we kept walking I tried to look back behind us without her noticing. I thought I could see the truck’s tail lights like two beady red eyes, but then I thought maybe those were pig eyes because if it drank blood, wouldn’t its eyes be red like blood, and I got nervous again and walked almost as fast as my momma. But then I thought I heard something behind us and I looked back and I could feel my momma look back, and we didn’t see red lights anymore, we saw white ones, moving up the road toward us. I thought that we’d keep moving because I could tell that the car coming back was making my momma uncomfortable and I was starting to feel the same way. Honey, she said, Matthew. Will you go up the side of the hill for me? Just a bit off of the road? Maybe behind that bush there? I’m going to stay here and see what they want. And suddenly I was very scared, much more scared than I had been when there was only the pig, or only the snake, or even both of them together. I stood there for a second and didn’t say anything, just twisted my lips around and held onto my sides. I was fluttering, like I had two baby birds inside my ribs, trying to fly out of me. I wanted to stay there, I didn’t want to leave her. She looked scared and I wanted to protect her. I didn’t want to leave her. But she guided my shoulders around and gave me a little pat on my bum and even though I was feeling prickly and I didn’t want to walk away from her I did. The sky felt very big. I don’t remember any stars but I also don’t remember looking up so maybe they were there anyway.
I had trouble walking over to the bush because there were lots of rocks in my way, and they were not round like the river stones. They were much bigger and they bashed into my shins. I kept holding my sides which didn’t help me stand up but with the pressure I could feel my scratchy shirt against my skin and even though it was the yellow one that I didn’t like I felt like it was keeping me safe and I didn’t want to let go.
When I finally reached the bush the car had just pulled up to greet my momma. She was standing there, with her hands clasped in front of her, I think, though I could only see the fuzzy outline of her back. She looked pleasant, kind of like an angel or the painting of Jesus that’s in our little church. There were two people in the car and the driver was leaning over to talk to her. I couldn’t hear anything over the grumble of the engine, except once my momma laughed. It was high pitched and it broke through the air and made me shiver. I thought I saw her arms moving out and up but then the truck door was opening and a hand was reaching out to grab hers—as she moved into the light of the cab I saw her illuminated and she was looking back at the hill. For me, I think.
But either she didn’t remember what bush she had pointed me towards or she couldn’t see in the light because when I stood up straight to be there if she needed me her eyes just moved past me and then she was ducking into the truck. She didn’t even get into the truck, she just stood there all bent over and I think they were talking to her but I couldn’t see their mouths. Or their faces. But the driver was wearing a great black hat; he kept touching its brim. It felt like a long, long time before the man let go of my momma’s arm and she fell backwards and he shut the door sharply and they drove away. Even though she didn’t have to bend over any more to fit inside the truck, my momma looked droopy. Now there was only the moon’s light and her pale dress glowed like she was dressed up in a white sheet for Halloween. Matthew, my momma finally called. Her voice wavered like ripples over rocks in the creek by our house. But she cleared her throat and said Matthew again and so I came down to her. What did they want? I said. Nothing, she said. They were just saying hello. And so then I was glad and I took her hand and we started walking home. And even though we had to take the long route home because of the snake I felt like we got home pretty quick. My momma let me get in bed without brushing my teeth, even. I was thankful because I was feeling awfully fuzzy and tired and I said so in my prayers, thanks for no brushed teeth and no snakebites and no pigs eating us. And then I fell asleep.
But when I woke up my momma wasn’t there. Her sheets were all ruffled like she had left in a hurry. I got out of bed and put my clothes on and sat in the kitchen and waited because I never walk to school alone but I sat there all morning and she didn’t came back.
When my dad got home for his lunch break he said, Hey, soldier. Where’s your mom? And I said, I don’t know. And then I started to cry and even though I was ashamed to cry in front of my dad I couldn’t help it. And he stood in the doorway with one hand up on the frame and the other holding his hat against his leg and he said, What? Matthew, what’s wrong? Where is she? And I said, I don’t know, and sniffed to clear my nose a bit. And he pressed his hands and his hat to his head and said, Oh god, and that scared me, just as much as the pig would’ve if it had come and drank me up in the dark.

A powerful solar storm, characterized as “serious” by NOAA is currently hitting the earth with its full fury. The storm, given a G-3 rating, hit around 11:30am EDT, and is expected to last between 12 to 24 hours.
“The primary concern with a storm like this,” explained Larry Combs, a Space Weather Forecaster at NOAA, “are your satellite hook-ups.” Communications satellites, used to relay phone, data and TV traffic can experience a number of problems. “They can experience a surface charging that affects the satellite components,” or they can actually be nudged out of orbit by the solar buffeting. “With this storm, I would predict some periodic glitches in satellite communications,” Combs warns.
NOAA, which tracks sunspots and other solar activities, has rated the storm G-3 on its severity scale—which extends from G-1 (Minor) to G-5 (Extreme). A strong, or G-3 type storm could trigger alarms on some power-system protection devices, and interfere with satellites, navigation and high-frequency radio waves.
So far, NOAA has received reports from power companies noticing the effect of the storm—although its not likely to bring down any electrical grids.
And another storm is on the way, due to hit Saturday or Sunday. How strong will it be? “Were not sure of the intensity,” predicts Combs, but thinks itll be similar to todays storm. Even if its no more powerful, the results can build up on sensitive space equipment. “They experience a blast, and then another blast, it can be a cumulative effect.”
These types of storms can be common during the peak of the solar season—which last happened in 2000—but were considered much less likely to occur three years later. Two sequential storms of this magnitude, this late in the cycle are “an unusual occurrence”, says Combs. The most pronounced effects are expected in the higher latitudes, above a line drawn from about Oregon, through Illinois and on to upstate New York.
Even so, theyre not nearly as powerful as a G-5 storm, which only occurs a few times during the peak of the 11-year solar cycle. “They are extreme, and can collapse power grids and drop satellites out of the sky,” warns Combs. But from every indication, these two storms will not be nearly as bad.
However, if you live north of about 45 degrees latitude, there could be a beneficial effect. Take a look outside over the next few nights. “The northern lights will be real good”, predicts Combs

Christine is a hardworking mother and a seventh-generation farmer. She owns and operates Cast Iron Farm, a small farm in McMinnville, Ore., where she and her family raise a number of different animals. Among them is a Brown Swiss dairy cow named Willow and a Jersey named Hazel.
Christine is passionate about her cows and the milk they produce. She is also meticulous about providing her customers the safest product possible. That begins with treating her cows well. For most of the year, they are kept on pasture that is rotationally grazed. That means the cows return to a new, clean piece of ground after every milking. The pasture contains a mixture of orchard and timothy grass, as well as alfalfa and clover—legumes that provide high-quality nutrition to the cows and, in turn, to Christine’s customers. From November to March, the cows are kept in a dry lot in Christine’s barn. When they are brought to the milking parlor for milking each day, their pens are cleaned and re-bedded with fresh straw. Even during these winter months, the cows go out to pasture a couple of times per week.
The quality of Cast Iron Farm’s milk is attributable not only to the cows and the way Christine treats them, but also to Christine’s careful milking and bottling protocol, as well as regular testing. Christine sends milk samples to an independent lab monthly, and she posts the test results for everyone to see. She also keeps daily samples for a full month so that milk remains available for additional testing if the need ever arises.
The final key to the quality milk at Cast Iron Farm is transparency. Christine is so committed to responsible farming practices that she maintains an open-door policy at Cast Iron Farm. There is a standing invitation to anyone who wishes to visit the farm and watch Christine care for and milk her cows.
Christine’s meticulousness has paid off. In fact, Cast Iron Farm is one of only four dairies listed with the Raw Milk Institute, a nationwide organization that provides training and promotes common standards to safely guide the raw milk market. Naturally, Christine is proud of Cast Iron Farm’s milk and the measures she takes to ensure her customers get the best product possible.

In a packed, standing-room-only courtroom at a federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan, a lawyer representing Eastman Kodak Co. called it “a digital company, not a film company.”
Seventy-five percent of Kodak’s revenue is now digital, he said at the first hearing after the company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing early Thursday.
“The transformation of Kodak at an industrial level is nearly complete,”
lawyer Andrew Dietderich told Judge Allan Gropper, noting Kodak had cut tens of thousands of employees over the past several years.
“We’re here for liquidity,” said Mr. Dietderich, a lawyer with Sullivan &
Cromwell LLP. He said Kodak had reaped $3 billion in licensing fees since 2003. That cash pipeline stalled in 2011, he said, because Kodak had difficulty “enforcing rights” against “well capitalized [patent] infringers.”
Kodak had difficulty selling its patents outside of bankruptcy because “buyers had concerns about the finality of the transaction,” he said.
Kodak believes its trove of patents are worth between $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion, Mr. Dietderich said.
Kodak’s chief financial officer as well as Dominic Di Napoli, its new chief restructuring officer and a vice chairman at FTI Consulting Inc., were at the hearing.
Judge Gropper expressed some concerns over Kodak’s request for an immediate $700 million cash infusion under its bankruptcy-financing agreement.
“Interim financing is permissible for emergency purposes,” Judge Gropper said.
He said he was told before the hearing that Kodak “really needed the money today.”
Mr. Dietderich said there were licensing transactions on the table “as early as yesterday that would have obviated the need for a filing.”
Marshall Huebner, a Davis Polk & Wardwell lawyer representing Citigroup Inc., said efforts to syndicate Kodak’s bankruptcy loan had just begun and the bank for the moment is the company’s sole debtor-in-possession lender. Such a lender provides financing to help keep a company afloat during bankruptcy proceedings.
A meeting to form Kodak’s official unsecured creditors committee is set for Jan. 25 at a downtown Manhattan hotel.

No one knew anything was wrong inside apartment 408 until Jefferson Parish deputies arrived early Sunday morning and found a pregnant Katherine Martinez dead on the kitchen floor.
But things had gone terribly wrong hours earlier.
Martinez, who was reportedly being stalked online by her jilted ex-boyfriend, Emilio Calderon, was stabbed and strangled, allegedly at his hands, after he became enraged that she was pregnant by another man, Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said Wednesday.
Calderon, 29, was arrested Wednesday and confessed to investigators that he argued with Martinez about the fact that her child was not his, Normand said.
He faces charges of second-degree murder and first-degree feticide.
When Calderon found out Martinez was carrying another man’s baby, he went to her apartment in the 600 block of Whitney Avenue in Terrytown on Saturday, buried a knife in her three times, then gripped his hands around her neck, slowly squeezing the life out of her as she tried in vain to fight him off, Normand said.
By the time her mother arrived there around 1 a.m. Sunday, Martinez and her unborn child had been dead for more than 12 hours, Normand said.
Calderon had allegedly been stalking Martinez through social media using a fictitious name, the sheriff said.
While there apparently was trouble between the two, Normand said, Martinez never filed any police reports against Calderon. Instead, she talked to her family.
Normand said investigators know of no previous violence between the couple or criminal record for Calderon.
While Martinez was stabbed three times, an autopsy found the cause of her death was strangulation, Jefferson Parish Coroner Gerry Cvitanovich has said. Martinez’s unborn daughter was not stabbed but was unable to survive the attack.
Calderon, who works in Larose, was picked up Wednesday at his job by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office and held there until Jefferson Parish authorities arrived to take him into custody.
He hung his head and said nothing as detectives marched him past reporters into a JPSO bureau Wednesday afternoon.

What Does it Mean to Have an Uncontested Divorce?
When you and your spouse agree on how to resolve all of your divorce-related issues, you can pursue an uncontested divorce. It is often the simplest type of divorce proceeding. If you are planning to pursue an uncontested divorce, make sure that you have discussed and are able to reach an agreement on all of the issues pertaining to your divorce.
If you have children, how will you share custody, parenting time, and the responsibilities of parenting?
Will there be any child support payments and if so, how long will they be in place?
Will there be any alimony or spousal support? If so, have you talked about the duration of the payments?
How will the property be divided?
How will the debt be divided?
If you have addressed all of the above issues, and you don’t disagree on any of the issues, you may have an uncontested divorce on your hands. An experienced divorce attorney can prepare your necessary court documents including your divorce settlement agreement outlining and providing detail for all the agreements you put in place regarding custody, division of property and debts, support payments, etc. The judge will then need to approve your settlement and final divorce.
Gaining the judge’s approval is not usually a problem in an uncontested divorce unless the terms are clearly unfair to one person or were arranged by one person who appeared to be under duress. Once approved, the divorce is finalized as soon as California’s 6-month mandatory waiting period passes.
If you are seeking an uncontested divorce, remember that not every divorce runs smoothly; even uncontested divorces can run into problems; especially if there are minor children or significant assets involved or if one spouse has a significantly lower earning potential than the other.
Are you planning to file an uncontested divorce? If you are not sure if you remembered to consider every issue that can come up during a divorce proceeding, please get in touch with one of the experienced California divorce attorneys at The Maggio Law Firm before you move forward with your case.

The bowl is full and her feet are absolutely covered after she’s done digging them around in the delicious wobbly substance.

Freelancers, contractors and the self-employed could face a pension crisis after it emerged that fewer than one in five are saving into one.
The proportion of the working-age self-employed that are saving into a private pension has declined dramatically over the last two decades, from 48 per cent in 1998 to just 16 per cent in 2018, according to the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS).
This suggests there are more than 3.5 million working-age self-employed people who are not saving into a pension today in the UK. The survey also found that the sharpest fall in pension savings came from those who had been self-employed for longer and with higher income.
Almost 70 per cent of self-employed workers earning more than £500 per week were saving into a pension in 1998-99, compared to just 24 per cent in 2018-19. And 60 per cent of those surveyed who had been self-employed for seven years or more were saving into a pension until 1998-99, whereas in 2018-19 this was just 23 per cent.
Survey respondents explained that affordability was the main reason for not saving into a pension fund. Other reasons cited included a lack of trust in pension firms and understanding how pensions work. Some respondents also said they had alternative ways of saving for retirement, such as investing in property.
The research, which was funded by the IFS Retirement Savings Consortium and the Economic and Social Research Council, drew upon data from the Family Resources Survey and the Wealth and Assets Survey.
There is a real concern among policymakers as fewer and fewer self-employed save into a pension, despite the significant rise in the number of people in the workforce during the same period. And the COVID-19 crisis has only exasperated this.
It has been said that the lack of government support available to many freelancers and contractors has increased financial pressure on this group and could make pension saving even more challenging.
Heidi Karjalainen, research economist at IFS and co-author of the report, said: “Particularly concerning are the huge declines in participation among the more long-term and more well off self-employed.
“These are groups who will particularly need to save privately for retirement on top of the state pension to avoid falls in their standard of living when they stop work. […] Policymakers are right to be concerned about these trends and to be considering how to make it easier – and to encourage – the self-employed to save more.”
Mike Cherry, chair at the Federation of Small Businesses, told This is Money: “IFS’s research highlights yet another area where the self-employed don’t enjoy the same benefits as employees. If you’re a member of staff, there’s some real legislative protection there. If you’re self-employed, you’re on your own. It’s important that our tax system fairly reflects these discrepancies.


After using different Xiaomi phones over a number of years, I’ve come to realize that the MIUI skin has quite a few hidden features and there’s a lot that’s limited by Xiaomi.
For example, did you know that Xiaomi users are able to overclock their smartphones to achieve better performance, all thanks to MIUI?
Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to talk about today, how to overclock a Xiaomi phone.
Overclocking an Android phone generally requires access to developer options and you’d then have to search for the GPU overclock option and enable it.
MIUI on the other hand makes it a flawless process by simply entering a code in your dial pad post enabling developer options on the Xiaomi device. The same process works on all MIUI based phones and can only be activated on models running Snapdragon 855 or later.
Read on as I cover how to overclock a Xiaomi phone in detail and take you through the kind of impact it has on the performance of the device.
How to Overclock a Xiaomi Phone
There are two different methods you can use to overclock your Xiaomi phone.
One is by rooting your Xiaomi phone and installing a new kernel that permits CPU modifications and the second is by enabling developer options and overclocking the phone by entering a code in the dial pad.
Both methods technically do work, but it depends on the model of Xiaomi phone you’re using.
For example, I have the Mi 10T (SD 865) and a Redmi Note 4 (SD 625 SoC), the Mi 10T permits overclocking via the developer options method whereas the Redmi Note 4 requires that the device be rooted first.
So make sure you know the specifications of your device before attempting to overclock it.
How to Overclock an Older Xiaomi Phone?
Older Xiaomi phones, one’s that are pre Snapdragon 855 or do not run on MIUI 11, can be overclocked but they will have to be rooted first.
After rooting the device, with the help of a recovery tool and kernel, was able to tweak the device’s CPU in order to overclock it.
- Download the Kernel for Xiaomi phone which supports overclocking from XDA-developers
- Now connect your Xiaomi device with Computer with a USB cable
- Copy the kernel to your SD card’s root or the internal root folder
- Reboot your device and enter into recovery mode and make a backup to serve as the contingency
- Now select Wipe Cache while flashing the kernel, click on “Install from Zip card”
- Select zip file from SD where you have copied the kernel file. Once the selected process of installation will start and will take 5-10 minutes to complete
- All done, Reboot the device
- Lastly, Download SetCPU Set your device’s clock speed
Once the app is downloaded and you have installed it on your Xiaomi phone, launch the app and boost the CPU/GPU speed.
While doing this keep in mind that overclocking your phone will result in the device overheating and some apps will fail to launch, so do this at your own risk.
How to Overclock a New Xiaomi Phone?
Overclocking a new Xiaomi phone is quite easy and it didn’t take me more than a minute or two to have it done. It does require a little knowledge about where certain settings are located, but other than that it’s a breeze.
Enable Developer Options
- Start by opening the Settings app on your Xiaomi phone and then scroll down and click on About Phone
- Now tap MIUI Version 7-10 times until you see a pop-up notification stating that “Developer mode is enabled”
- Now head back to the previous screen and click on Developer mode to check if you have all the options available
- Navigate back to the home screen and click on the phone app or dialer app
- Enter the following code in the dialer and click on dial
- * # * # 8106 # * # *
- You will then receive a message stating that your device has been overclocked
Enable Performance Mode on Any Xiaomi Device
By default, Xiaomi phones won’t utilize their full capacity while playing games and I noticed this while running Call of Duty Mobile. There were lags at some parts of the game and the device began to freeze if I enabled UHD graphics on the game.
But I did come across a hack on Reddit where a user was able to boot the performance on the phone by enabling Performance mode.
If you’re experiencing lags on your Xiaomi phone, consider giving these steps a try. It’s still better than rooting your phone and overclocking it.
- Start by downloading ADB fastboot and the relevant drivers onto your PC
- Extract the files from the ZIP folder
- On your Xiaomi device enable developer options from the settings menu and then enable USB debugging
- Plug your phone into your PC with the original USB cable
- Open the folder up where you extracted the files to and launch the “cmd-here.exe”
- It will open up a command prompt window
- Now type “adb devices” and wait for the daemon to start
- Unlock your phone while still leaving it plugged in and you will see an option asking it to allow USB debugging to this computer, just choose OK
- Now type “adb shell” in the command prompt window and wait for the new line to load
- Type in this command and press enter
- “am start -n com.android.settings/com.android.settings.fuelgauge.PowerModeSettings”
- On your phone, you will see a popup on the bottom asking you what mode you want to enable.
- Tap on performance mode and tap OK.
Does Overclocking Make a Difference?
Truth be told, not that much. It’s difficult to gauge the difference in performance between a Xiaomi phone that has been overclocked and one that is running on a stock ROM or hasn’t been overclocked yet.
Like, I didn’t notice much difference while playing games on the Mi10T after overclocking it, but the Antutu scores show otherwise. However, when I overclocked the Redmi Note 4, I did notice a slight difference in the fluidity of apps and performance of the device.
I guess in order to notice a visual increase in performance, the device has to be older running on lower specs which the Mi10T isn’t, so it’s probably why I didn’t notice any visible changes to the performance post overclocking it.
What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Overclocking a Xiaomi Phone?
There are a number of advantages and disadvantages of overclocking a Xiaomi device. I’ll take you through a couple so you get an idea of what you’re getting yourself into by overclocking the phone.
- The most common advantage of overclocking a Xiaomi phone is the increased performance of the processor and RAM
- Overclocking is generally performed by gamers who want to increase the performance of their graphics cards while taking part in online or competitive events. It can also be done when your phone has become slow and you’re experiencing a lag while switching between apps or games.
- Xiaomi phones will begin to overheat when overclocked and this can be attributed to the way the device is being used. If you’re playing high-performance games or running really large applications, the device will begin to heat up faster than normal.
- Overclocking also reduces the battery life of your Xiaomi phone because of the excess power requirement. This can also prove to be dangerous in the long run.
- By overclocking the phone you’re damaging the internal components that are not built to withstand the high temperatures. This can also reduce the lifespan of the phone and make it obsolete much faster.
Alternatives to Overclocking a Xiaomi Phone
If your Xiaomi phone is running low on performance, then instead of overclocking the device why don’t you consider freeing up space and getting rid of unwanted apps and bloatware.
I’ve found that by using alternate means to speed up a Xiaomi phone not only boosts the speed of the device but also reduces the chance of the device overheating.
You can try these following quick tricks to boost the speed of your Xiaomi phone.
- Free up the storage space on your phone – Freeing up your storage on your device will improve performance and any device with less than 10-20% storage capacity will perform poorly.
- Uninstall any unused apps – Unused apps take up a lot of your storage space and clog the RAM if they’re designed to run in the background. You can improve your systems performance by getting rid of any unused and unwanted apps.
- Update to the latest software – Sometimes a lag in the UI could be due to a bug and overclocking the device will not fix the issue. The best bet is to update your device to the latest version because if it’s a bug then the update should potentially come with a fix to solve the issue.
- Scan the phone and perform a factory reset – Low performance issues can be also due to bloatware installed on the phone or malware that has somehow creeped onto your device. Scan the device and then once you’ve located the root cause, perform a factory reset to completely wipe it from your device.
Is it good to overclock your Xiaomi phone?
While it’s not illegal to do, overclocking a Xiaomi phone can prove fatal when the device begins to overheat. This is not a good idea to overclock a Xiaomi phone as the device has been designed to perform at a particular speed for a reason and by crossing that threshold, you’re damaging the phone and its internal components.
How do I enable overclock on my Mi?
To enable overclock on a new Mi phone, enable developer mode from the Settings menu and then access the dialer app and type “*#*#8106#*#*” and hit send.
Can the Mi 11x be overclocked?
Yes, the Mi11x can be overclocked because it’s running on a later version of MIUI and uses a new Snapdragon processor that permits overclocking.

The first people to arrive were Alan and Cheryl, and once they had pitched their tents they walked down to Guillemot Ledge to climb Tensor 11. Back at the camp site (Tom’s Field) the rest of the group arrived. Over the course of the afternoon and evening the rest of the group appeared and set up their tents in Tom’s Field.
Saturday dawned dry, warm but misty, and after a leisurely start everyone set off for their chosen destinations. Alan, Cheryl, Jason, Ian and Anna went to Guillemot Ledge / Cormorant Ledge area; Bob, Sophie, Sam and Lydia drove to Winspit for a spot of sport climbing (training for Sardinia) and Sean went swimming / snorkelling.
Sunday was a little cooler to start with, but the day soon warmed up. Alan and Jason had unfinished business at Cormorant Ledge, Bob and his group wanted more sport climbing and headed for Dancing Ledges.
Ian and Anna headed for Boulder Ruckle and Cheryl went exploring Durlston Country Park and had some productive blackberry picking. Sean once again took to the water snorkelling.
It was an ‘Indian summer’ weekend and everyone was careful not to get sunburnt. Adventures were had and everyone had a story to tell! Hopefully Swanage will become a regular destination for the club.

A Bloomington man was arrested Tuesday on the felony charge of robbery after a woman said he ripped her cell phone from her hands.
Larry Ruble Jr., 38, accused the 35-year-old woman of stealing his Xanax while she was keeping an eye on his bag earlier in the day, according to police.
The woman told officers she allowed Ruble to search her purse and even turned her pockets inside out so he could see she didn’t have the pills.
Ruble then reportedly snatched her iPhone 6 from her hands and told her she could have it back when she returned his Xanax. The woman told police Ruble also threatened to punch her in the throat.
Bloomington Police Department Lt. Ryan Pedigo said Ruble admitted to taking the phone. He was booked into the Monroe County Correction Center late Tuesday.

“She’s a mother of a 7-month-old baby. She’s on tour. She’s doing Dancing With the Stars. Learning all those qualities about her inspires me and I wanna do my best to teach her,” continues Savchenko, adding he hopes that the pair will make it to the finale.

This corset dress is based on a 1912/1914 patent for a ‘boneless’ corset. The palette is inspired by the colour of icebergs above and below water. I am a member of the corsetry site Foundations Revealed and this is my entry into their annual competiion.
It has a coutil strength layer with deep blue dupion silk below the waist and white patent leather above. The original patent has been adapted with the addition of gores at the bottom of the dress made from power mesh. They add comfort (and cheekiness) to the dress. The gores in the top panel are highlighted in pearlescent ice crystal sequins.

Makita 5477NB 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Hypoid Saw
The Makita 5477NB 15 Amp 7-1/4-inch Hypoid Saw offers the power of an inline saw and the convenience of a circular saw. Makita is a reputable brand, so you know you’re getting a quality tool right off the bat. This hypoid saw brings unique features to the table such as oil house technology and sealed gear housing. This technology delivers oil to the motor so that you don’t have to change the oil yourself. The hypoid gears are efficient and treated with heat for added longevity and durability.
The Makita Hypoid Saw also delivers a large capacity and a range of ergonomic features that keep the saw easy and comfortable to use. The saw is ideal for heavy-duty use such as ripping through concrete and thick pieces of lumbar. The purchase includes the hypoid saw, carbide tipped blade and wrench.
Makita 5477NB 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Hypoid Saw Specifications:
Average Price: $129.99
Product Dimensions: 14.5 x 19.5 x 11.5 inches; 17.8 pounds
Power Source: Corded-Electric
Motor: 15 amps
Features: Oil house technology, sealed gear housing, heat-treated hypoid gears
Capacity: 0 degree to 51.5 degree bevel capacity, with positive stops at 45 degrees and 51.5 degrees[DEAL_OF_THE_DAY]
What’s So Great About the Makita 5477NB 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Hypoid Saw?
Constant Power: If you’re tired of worm drive saws that need to have their oil changed and tired of battery-powered saws that need their batteries changed, the Makita Hypoid Saw will be a refreshing alternative. The powerful motor has a ball bearing construction for more productivity, while the oil bath technology and sealed gear housing mean less maintenance for you. Even the hypoid gears are heat-treated for added longevity and performance.
Large Capacity: The Makita Hypoid Saw has a large cutting capacity with positive stops at 45 degrees and 51.5 degrees. These stops are ideal for truss and rafter cut-outs, and the large levers are perfect for making fast bevel and narrow cuts. The large cutting capacity includes 2 3/8-inches at 90 degrees, 1 ¾-inches at 45 degrees and 1 9/16-inches at 50 degrees.
Low Maintenance: Worm drive saws need their oil changed, but with the Makita Hypoid Saw, you get all the same power, but without the maintenance. Thanks to oil bath technology and the sealed gear housing, the saw will continue to recondition itself so that you don’t need to change the oil throughout the year. This technology not only keeps the saw low maintenance, but also allows the saw to last longer. After all, many of us forget to change the oil like we’re supposed to, and with the Makita Hypoid Saw, you don’t have to keep tabs on this.
Ergonomic: Worm drive saws can be big and bulky, but the Makita Hypoid Saw is designed with comfort and ergonomics in mind. The saw features an oversized handle and rubber grip for added user control. Blade changes are made easy with the push spindle lock and on-board blade wrench. A reinforced ten foot cord is included, while the external brushes are accessible for easy replacements. The base plate features a sturdy design and is chemically treated so that it wards off rust and warping. Even the carbide tips are designed to withstand the harshest conditions and extreme temperatures.
Versatile: If you’re a handy DIY-er or professional contractor, you’ll find that the Makita Hypoid Saw will cover the majority of your projects. This heavy-duty saw is designed for framers, builders, carpenters and general contractors and can be used for a range of projects such as sawing through lumber, plywood, siding and roofs. With a 7 ¼-inch blade that cuts through materials like butter, you’ll never have to struggle through another project again.
What’s Not So Great About the Makita 5477NB 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Hypoid Saw?
Plastic Parts: It seems like it’s nearly impossible to buy power tools that are completely made from metal, unless you want to make a huge investment. Even the Makita Hypoid Saw takes a few shortcuts using subpar parts. For example, the blade-change lock button is plastic. If you set down the saw too rough, the button can break, which causes the spring to fly out and the pin to fall down into the casing. Fortunately, this problem can be fixed, so it won’t put your hypoid saw out of commission. The case can also crack, and if this happens, oil can leak out and will need to be replaced.
Start Up: The start up kick on this hypoid saw is fierce, so you’ll want to make sure that you are about 1 ½-inches from the material you’re about to saw, otherwise the start up kick can knock your blade right off the markings. This just goes to show you how powerful this hypoid saw really is. That said, just make sure you keep the saw a safe distance away from what you’re about to cut. If you haven’t used an inline saw before, you’ll especially be in for a surprise with the power packed into them.
Is the Makita 5477NB 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Hypoid Saw a Great Purchase?
The Makita 5477NB Hypoid Saw is a really great purchase for contractors, framers and builders. The hypoid saw is for heavy-duty use, so it’s ideal for those that need to rip and cut through thick pieces of lumbar, concrete and masonite. It’s important to note that the Makita is an inline saw, so it will be heavy and have a lot of torque to it; after all, this power is what’s needed to cut through dense materials.
What puts this hypoid saw in a class of its own is the technology that is built into it, including the oil bath technology and sealed gear housing so that you don’t have to worry about messy oil changes. With a large capacity, professional performance and a powerful 15-amp motor, you can expect that this hypoid saw will be the perfect accessory to your carpentry work.

The SHOWTIME ROADIES House Will Celebrate Music's Unsung Heroes
Providing A VIP Experience To Roadies Working At SXSW From March 16 To 18
Series Stars Luke Wilson And Carla Gugino To Appear At ROADIES House
NEW YORK - February 10, 2016 - SHOWTIME is celebrating music's unsung heroes at the South By Southwest (SXSW) Music, Film and Interactive Festival, in honor of Oscar(R) winner Cameron Crowe's new music series ROADIES, premiering on the network this summer. SHOWTIME will be taking over Clive Bar on Rainey Street in Austin from March 16-18 for a three-day music experience featuring bands performing every hour on the hour for afternoon and evening sessions. Featured acts will include Jamestown Revival, Ra Ra Riot, Sun Kil Moon, Black Joe Lewis, Grizfolk, White Denim and headliners The Head and The Heart, among many others. ROADIES stars Luke Wilson (Old School, Enlightened) and Screen Actors Guild(R) Award nominee Carla Gugino (San Andreas) will be on hand to introduce Friday's headliners to the SXSW Music crowd. In addition, SHOWTIME will once again be the exclusive sponsor of the Festival's multi-platform SXSW GO app, as well as the Film, Interactive and Music Festival's shuttle buses.
As a special treat for all roadies working the festival, SHOWTIME will invite them to join as VIPs, with special access to the ROADIES house. Inside the VIP area, they will receive free massages, complimentary barbeque and cocktails, and premium giveaways, including ROADIES swag. SHOWTIME will also show their love to the roadies by creating a high-end portrait studio where they will have an opportunity to tell their unique tour stories, to be featured on the ROADIES Instagram page, and will receive exclusive merchandise distributed only to those featured in the studio. The general admission area of the SHOWTIME ROADIES House will be open to all Music and Platinum badge holders at SXSW on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Festival goers will be able to hop aboard a ROADIES-branded bus, which will shuttle them from the Austin Convention Center to venues throughout the city for the duration of SXSW.

ROADIES House headliners The Head and The Heart will make a triumphant return to SXSW. The band has not performed at the Festival since 2011, when they were first signed to their label. The band also prominently appears in ROADIES' first episode. Formed in Seattle, The Head and the Heart released their self-titled debut album on Sub Pop Records in 2011, which went on to become one of the label's best-selling debut releases. The band's sophomore release "Let's Be Still" followed in the fall of 2013, with the two records totaling more than 500,000 sold in the U.S. alone. The Head and the Heart has become an internationally celebrated band, having built a loyal fan base and becoming known for their raucous and energetic live shows. The band is currently recording, with new music expected in the coming year.
ROADIES is a one-hour ensemble comedy written, created, directed and executive produced by Oscar winner Cameron Crowe, his first television series. The series gives an insider's look at the reckless, romantic, funny and often poignant lives of a committed group of "roadies" who live for music and the de facto family they've formed along the way. The series chronicles the rock world through the eyes of music's unsung heroes and pays homage to the backstage workers who put the show on the road while touring the United States for the successful arena-level group, The Staton-House Band.

Abrams (Lost, Fringe, Person of Interest), Bryan Burk (Lost, Fringe, Person of Interest) and Len Goldstein (Hart of Dixie). Kathy Lingg (Person of Interest, Fringe) is co-executive producer. ROADIES is produced by Bad Robot Productions, Vinyl Films and Dooley & Company Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television.
