Was Forrest Gump filmed at Wormsloe?
6 answers. No, the scene where he Jenny yells “Run Forrest run” while he was being chased was not filmed at Wormsloe. It was filmed in Yemassee, South Carolina.
What movies were filmed at Wormsloe?
But, a lot of other famous movies had filmed a scene at the Wormsloe Historic Site. Some of the films are Roots, Gator, The Last Song, The General’s Daughter, and Savannah.
Is Wormsloe worth visiting?
If you’re staying in the historic part of Savannah it is a little bit of a ride to Wormsloe, but it is worth seeing this to round out your knowledge of plantation life.
Can you picnic at Wormsloe?
Beautiful live oaks and nice place for a picnic. We went to Wormsloe in mid-March and thought it was a lovely place to walk around. The live oak avenue you drive down upon arrival is just gorgeous. We had a picnic lunch there and enjoyed our visit.
Who lives at Wormsloe Plantation?
The Barrows are the ninth generation to live at Wormsloe, located on the Isle of Hope outside of Savannah, since the property was claimed and developed by Craig Barrow’s ancestor Noble Jones in the mid-1730s. Wormsloe is the oldest property in Georgia to be held continuously by the same family.
Why is it called wormsloe?
Oglethorpe allotted Jones’ fort a 12-man marine garrison and a scout boat with which to patrol the river. “Wormslow”— the name Jones gave to his Isle of Hope estate— probably refers to Wormslow Hundred, Herefordshire, in the Welsh border country from which the Jones family hailed.
How did wormsloe get its name?
How much does Wormsloe cost?
Wormsloe is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Admission costs $10 for adults, $9 for seniors, $4.50 for kids (ages 6 to 17) and $2 for children younger than 6.
Is Wormsloe free?
Don’t let entry fees scare you away; the event is free to the public. Wormsloe Historic Site is a short 30 minute drive from Tybee Island, located just southeast of Savannah’s midtown district near the Isle of Hope.
Why is Wormsloe famous?
The oldest of Georgia’s tidewater estates, Wormsloe has remained in the hands of the same family since the mid-1730s. Claimed and developed by founding Georgia colonist Noble Jones, Wormsloe has successively served as a military stronghold, plantation, country residence, farm, tourist attraction, and historic site.
Can you drive through Wormsloe?
You’ll find Wormsloe State Historic Site about 10 miles southeast of downtown Savannah. It’s only reachable by car (and part of the appeal is being able to drive along the gorgeous entryway), so keep this in mind when deciding whether or not you want to rent a car when in Savannah.
What is Wormsloe Historic Site?
Supported by a local Friends chapter, Wormsloe Historic Site offers picturesque scenery while preserving Georgia’s rich colonial history. A breathtaking avenue sheltered by live oaks and Spanish moss leads to the tabby ruins of Wormsloe, the colonial estate of Noble Jones (1702-1775).
Can I cancel my Wormsloe Historic Site tour?
If you book with Tripadvisor, you can cancel at least 24 hours before the start date of your tour for a full refund. Do you need to book in advance to visit Wormsloe Historic Site? We recommend booking Wormsloe Historic Site tours ahead of time to secure your spot.
Where did the name Wormsloe come from?
The name “Wormsloe” came from Jones’ township in England: Wormslow (Wormelow) Hundred in Herefordshire. British residents of the town have even visited Wormsloe Historic Site.
How much does it cost to visit winwormsloe?
Wormsloe is iconic Savannah and has everything you might want in an outing: nature and history! My husband and I took a Lyft to this location, which dropped us off by the entrance. It was about $21 for us to visit.

Second Annual Inspired Business Forum Hosts Nearly 100 in Virtual Attendance
The Boler College of Business at John Carroll University led entering business graduate students as well as faculty, staff, and alumni through an enlightening program designed to set the stage for exploration into the notion of inspired business.
The Forum is the brainchild of Dr. Walter Simmons, Associate Dean for Graduate and International Programs, and the Boler faculty. The inaugural live event was a resounding success in 2019, and no one wanted to forgo the experience for this year’s incoming class.
“It’s critical that students understand the expectations of the program as well as the unique brand and quality of graduate business education that we offer at Boler,” said Dr. Alan Miciak, John M. Boler Dean.
“Due to the current state of affairs with COVID-19, we decided to move forward and present The Forum as a virtual event. With the help of Dr. Mariah Webinger, Associate Professor of Accountancy, as well as many faculty and staff, we were still able to kick off the year by providing students an opportunity to hear exciting speakers and to discuss concepts of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) as well as leadership for the triple bottom line (TBL).”
Keynote speakers included Dr. Miciak; Brandon Chrostowski, CEO and Founder of Edwins; Barb Brown, Co-Founder of BrownFlynn; and Boler’s own Bob Stein, Managing Director, Boler College Responsible Leadership Initiative.
Boler faculty members delved into the four mindsets of inspired leaders during breakout virtual discussion groups that helped orient students to the challenges of responsible executive leadership.
“The quality of the presentations and engagement on the part of the students was excellent,” said Dr. Miciak. “I sincerely appreciated everyone’s participation and I look forward to an exciting and inspired year.”

Rand Paul objects to veterans bill because too many people might receive care
United States Senator Rand Paul railed against the Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 in a Senate floor speech on Tuesday, complaining that it is too lax.
Paul, who voted against the PACT Act last week, believes that access to care is too easy and that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention should be stricter about whom the proposed law helps.
"This bill puts our economy though at risk by creating presumptions of service connection for the most common of ailments. For example, this legislation creates a presumption of service connection for Vietnam veterans for hypertension. But according to the CDC, 50 percent of men and 44 percent of women in the United States have hypertension. More than 60 percent of people over the age of 60 have hypertension. In total, the CDC estimates that 116 million Americans have hypertension," Paul said.
"The legislation also creates a presumption of service connection for Global War on Terror veterans for asthma," he added. "The CDC estimates that one in twelve people have asthma, which is approximately 25 million Americans."

Processing technology of Triple Offset Butterfly Valve
Compared with other valves, the Triple Offset Butterfly Valve
has shorter structure length, lighter weight, higher sealing performance, lower operating torque, faster opening and closing speed, and longer life. However, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate of the butterfly valve is generally a one-way pressure-bearing seal, that is, an inclined cone surface with a higher pressure within the strength range. The sealing performance is good, but the sealing performance of the back pressure bearing is poor. Generally, it does not exceed 0.5MPa, which limits the application of triple eccentric butterfly valves.
After analysis, the parts processing technology and consistency tolerance have been improved, and the three-eccentric butterfly valve can achieve two-way zero leakage.
1. Valve body processing The stem hole of the Triple Offset Butterfly Valve
and the stem hole of the valve body are usually processed by a mango bed. After installing the tool and the valve body in place to reduce the coaxiality error, place the dial indicator on the main shaft and rotate the main shaft to make the valve body passage symmetrical along the center line of the main shaft. correct. For holes, the tooling table is rotated 180° and a dial indicator is added to fix the other end of the channel boring.
2. The sealing surface of the disc plate eccentric butterfly valve is commonly used as a combined sealing ring, and the structure is "metal + graphite" and "metal + PTEE". When processing the sealing surface, put the board first. Assemble the seal and pressure ring, and process the sealing surface to the specified size with an inclined die. If the "metal + graphite" seal is processed, graphite will replace the metal craft seal. When processing "metal + PTFE", PTFE is easily deformed and affects the seal. Therefore, when processing, leave a margin of 0.8-1mm on the sealing surface of the butterfly plate, seal assembly, and pressure ring. Refer to the size of the drawing, even if the PTFE is deformed during the assembly process. , There is still room for adjustment.
3. Due to the structural limitation of the butterfly valve, the pressing force cannot be increased by increasing the length and number of screws. From the design point of view, the fit tolerance of the seal and the butterfly plate is -. The inner diameter tolerance of the PTFE seal ring can be changed to 59, and the disc positioning step tolerance can be changed to h9. In addition, for ease of assembly, the inner diameter tolerance of the metal seal ring is still D11. After the fit tolerance is changed, the clearance between the PTFE seal ring and the butterfly plate is small, and the compression shrinkage is suppressed. At the same time, decompressing the valve during the inspection also solved the problem of leakage at the valve seal.


You’d have had to be living under a rock if you hadn’t noticed that ammunition has become threadbare to nonexistent on most dealers’ shelves and from most online sources. The same can be said for reloading components.
Despite the rumors, it’s not some kind of conspiracy that’s creating the ongoing shortage of ammo and reloading components. It’s record-high gun sales. Here are the details and how it works.
During 2020 the all-time annual record sales of firearms occurred in the US. Background checks, an accurate index of firearm sales, reached nearly 40 million. They had been rising steadily since 2010, during which about 14.5 million background checks were conducted. But last year they really jumped from 2019’s 28.3 million.
As to the types of firearms being sold, what has dominated the US market for the past 20 years has been handguns followed by rifles (largely AR-15 style). A minority has been shotguns—mainly black, plastic-stock, pump or autoloading self-defense-type shotguns. The last big years for shotgun sales in which a large share was wood-stock hunting and clay target guns were 1995 and 1999, during which 1.2 and 1.1 million shotguns were sold. Of the sporting shotguns being sold today, a healthy growing percentage is upgraded wood-stock, high-end over/unders, side-by-sides and sporting clays autoloaders.
It takes lots of ammunition to supply all the new guns being sold. For years gun owners have been encouraged to stock up and have as much as 2,000 rounds of ammo on hand to feed each caliber of firearm they own. Many gun owners have followed this advice, and still more have bought at least several hundred rounds in each caliber. The industry calls this hoarding, and hoarding definitely has contributed to the ammo shortage.
But the big problem for manufacturers has been trying to keep up with the ammunition demand from all the new 2020 gun owners, even after most dealers began implementing limits on ammo purchases midyear. Do the math. If there were approximately 22 million new gun owners in 2020 and they each bought only 50 rounds of ammo, that’s 1,100,000,000 more rounds to load on top of the ongoing several billion per year to keep up with ongoing gun owners’ and military ammo needs.
To try to meet this surge in demand, beginning in 2020 ammo manufacturers began to significantly reduce loading shotshells and turned their production principally to centerfire rifle and handgun ammunition. All ammunition takes primers, and almost all primer production capability has been focused on centerfire primers for many months. That’s why if you’re a handloader, you noticed primers, especially shotshell primers, were the first things to go south on the component availability list. Then shotshell hulls became scarce, as many US manufacturers began loading pre-primed foreign-made hulls to save on primers. More factory ammo also requires more powder, so powders for reloading were the next components to dry up as production became focused on factory-load powders. Reloading wads and shot have been slower to dwindle, but many wads and shot sizes are now also out of stock.
The bottom line is that US factory shotshell and shotshell-reloading-component manufacturing will remain on the back burner as long as manufacturing capacity is focused on centerfire rifle and handgun production. Most US ammo dealers have depleted stocks and have imposed purchase limits on all types of ammo to combat hoarding. Most component suppliers have been suffering intermittent and incomplete shipments of components to resupply their depleted inventories. When they do receive shipments, many are imposing purchase limits on components too.
For some indeterminate amount of time this will be the “new normal.” But we have been through shortages before, and they always have cleared up. I’m confident that they will clear up again; it’s just a matter of when.
New Reloading Manual
In spite of the current components shortage, by popular request I recently completed and published a new reloading manual: Tom Roster’s Advanced Lead & Bismuth Shot Handloading Manual.
This manual is intended to update and expand on my popular Buffered Lead & Bismuth Shotshell Reloading Manual, which is now out of print. Many of the recipes in the former manual are now obsolete, because several of the powders and wads used are no longer manufactured. My new manual presents an expanded list of lead and bismuth loading recipes—many calling for new powders and wads that recently have come to market. It is called “Advanced” because all the recipes either can be buffered to deliver effective, beyond-50-yard patterning performance or can be loaded unbuffered and commonly will produce 80% patterns at 40 yards through most Improved Modified and Full chokes, depending on shot size.
The loading data details nearly 80 recipes covering the 3½" 10; 2¾", 3" and 3½" 12; 2¾" 16; 2¾" and 3" 20; and 2¾" 28. The price is $13.95 (see ordering information at the end of the article). —T.R.

PMW: PMW exclusive: PA gave 517.4 million shekels to terrorists as salaries in 2019
As US President Trump demanded “halting the financial compensation to terrorists” PA documents just publicized show the PA admits to paying 517.4 million shekels in salaries to terrorists in 2019, a rise of 15 million shekels compared to 2018.Uganda expected to move its embassy to Jerusalem - report
Israeli government stipulated that the PA spent 150 million shekels on the payments to wounded terrorists and the families of dead terrorist “Martyrs” in 2018
PMW has calculated that this figure has grown by at least 1.6 million shekels, in 2019
Accordingly, in 2020, the Israeli Government must deduct no less than 669 million shekels from the taxes Israel collects and transfer to the PA
According to recently published Palestinian Authority financial reports, Palestinian Media Watch can expose that the PA has admitted to spending no less than 517.4 million shekels ($149.7 million/€136 million) paying salaries to terrorist prisoners and released prisoners in 2019.
The PA expenditure on allowances to wounded terrorists and the families of dead terrorists was at least 151.6 million shekels in 2019. Accordingly, the total minimum PA expenditure in 2019 on its payments to terrorists and families of dead terrorists - its Pay-for-Slay policy- was 669 million shekels ($193.6 million/€175.8 million).
In accordance with the Israeli law, Defense Minister Naftali Bennet should present the National Security Cabinet with a report showing that the PA expenditure on its Pay-for-Slay policy was no less than 669 million shekels.
Israeli law demands that this figure be deducted from the monthly tax transfers Israel makes to the PA.
Uganda is reportedly planning to announce that it is moving its embassy to Jerusalem next week, sources close to the Ugandan president and the Ugandan Christian community told The Jerusalem Post.
A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry could not confirm the report.
The Hebrew website Ynet reported on Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to travel to Uganda on Monday, but did not cite a reason for the visit.
Sources close to the community told the Post that the move has been in the works for three years.
Pastor Drake Kanaabo, who ministers at the Redeemed of the Lord Evangelistic Church Makerere in Kampala, Uganda, told the Post that he had been hearing rumors about the move.
"I got a note from sources that Uganda is moving the embassy," he said, though he noted that he was unable to confirm the rumors with senior leaders by press time.
He said it is important that Uganda move the embassy to the holy city "because of our past good relationship with the State of Israel.
"On a spiritual level, Uganda regards Israel as the mother of Christianity," he told the Post. "Ugandan Christians are no longer standing on one leg for Israel, but two - in prayer and action. Israel is the only first-world country that is near to Uganda and Africa."
Backpacker Naama Issachar walks free in Russia, boards PM’s plane back to Israel
Israeli-American backpacker Naama Issachar reunited with her mother on Thursday at Moscow’s airport after her release from Russian prison, and boarded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official plane on her way back to Israel as a free woman.
Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, greeted Naama in front of the cameras, along with Yaffa Issachar, after pushing for months for her release, which comes weeks before national elections in Israel.
Naama Issachar, 27, was sentenced by Russia to 7.5 years in prison after nearly 10 grams of marijuana were found in her luggage during a layover in a Moscow airport in April. She has denied smuggling drugs, noting that she had not sought to enter Russia during the layover on her way to Israel from India, and had no access to her luggage during her brief stay in the Russian airport.
Issachar, who was held in a Russian prison for some 10 months, was seen hugging her mother and greeting the Netanyahus inside the terminal.
The four then crossed the tarmac and boarded the plane without stopping to make a formal statement or answer questions from the many reporters in attendance.
“Let’s go home, let’s go home,” the prime minister said.
It was a unique event, where journalists from all major Israeli news outlets provided extensive coverage and television channels interrupted their regular broadcasts for the release of a young woman who committed a criminal offense, but whose fate — widely viewed as a disproportionate punishment — has gripped an entire nation.
Report: Netanyahu seeks to bring Pollard to Israel before elections
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strives to bring former spy Jonathan Pollard to Israel before the March 2 elections, local media reported on Wednesday.IDF strikes Hamas targets in southern Gaza in response to attacks
The report cites a source within the Likud party, who said the premier aims to have Pollard on Israeli soil a week before Israelis cast their ballots in the country's unprecedented third elections in the same year.
Pollard, a US citizen who was caught spying for Israel and served 30 years in prison, was released in 2015 on parole. He is currently subject to strict terms and is not allowed to leave the US.
In August 2019, he revealed in an interview to Channel 12 News that he asked Israel’s prime minister to help him receive a commute on his parole after learning his wife was stricken with cancer, so he could take better care of her.
From his cramped little apartment in Manhattan, New York, the former spy said he had urged Netanyahu to intervene on his behalf and ask US President Donald Trump to let him "go home" amid his recent familial crisis.
In response, the Prime Minister’s Office released a statement, saying that "Israel remains committed to bringing Jonathan Pollard back home. The prime minister will continue with his efforts to bring him to Israel."
The Israeli Air Force carried out strikes on the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday afternoon in response to attacks earlier in the day, the military said.
“Earlier today, fire was identified from the Gaza Strip toward an observation antenna and explosive balloons were launched into Israeli territory,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
“In response, a short while ago, IDF aircraft and tanks targeted a number of observation means used for intelligence collection by the Hamas terror organization, in the southern Gaza Strip,” it said.
Palestinian media in the Gaza Strip reported that three separate sites were targeted.
On Thursday, a bundle of balloons connected to an explosive device were found in the area of the Ashkelon Coastal Regional Council. There were no injuries.
Earlier in the day, Ibrahim al-Shantaf, identified as a member of Hamas’ military wing, died in an accident while working in one of its underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip.

El Al to halt all flights to Beijing until March
Israel's El Al Airlines announced a halt on all flights to Beijing until March 25 in light of the spread of the Novel (new) Coronavirus on Thursday, following the lead of other carriers that have suspended or scaled back flights to China due to the viral outbreak.Holocaust survivor moves European Parliament to tears with speech
The decision was apparently made after El Al employees refused to fly to China, according to Calcalist. Thursday's flight from Beijing to Ben-Gurion Airport will return as scheduled.
New directives released by the Health Ministry on Wednesday also contributed to the decision.
The death toll from the spreading virus, which originated in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, has risen to 170, with the total number of known cases rising to 7,711, according to China's National Health Commission.
Italian Auschwitz survivor and Senator for Life Liliana Segre received a standing ovation for her address to the European Parliament, in a ceremony marking International Holocaust Memorial Day.LBC: Holocaust survivor calls on politicians to act now on online hate speech
In a powerful speech that moved many MEPs to tears, Segre recounted her experience as a young girl facing the evils of humanity, while also launching a mighty message of love for life and to strive against racism and antisemitism.
“I am extremely emotional to be here in the European Parliament," she said. "Upon my arrival, I saw all the flags displayed at the entrance. So many colors, so many countries that are here in a spirit of brotherhood, with people speaking to each other and looking at each other directly in the eyes. This was not always the way things were." She also specifically addressed British MEPs, expressing her sorrow for their imminent departure – the Brexit deal was approved by the EU Parliament on the same day.
Born in 1930 into a Jewish family in Milan, Segre was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 at the age of 13.
For the past 30 years, she has been one of the most active witnesses of the Holocaust, speaking to thousands of schools and groups all over Italy.
In January 2018, she was appointed senator for life by the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
International Holocaust Memorial Day falls on January 27, the day that the Red Army liberated Auschwitz – or, more accurately, as Segre recalled during her speech, the day that Soviet soldiers reached the Nazi extermination camp that the Germans had abandoned several days earlier, and uncovered its horrors for the first time.
Manfred Goldberg BEM is concerned that social media has "taken the place of the Nazi propaganda ministry".
Manfred Goldberg BEM came to the UK in September 1946 having survived three and a half years in several labour and concentration camps.
He joined Maajid Nawaz in the studio to discuss the 75th anniversary of Auschwitz being liberated.
Manfred Goldberg said: "Today's social media sites are incredibly powerful and I feel that we are fighting an uphill battle which cannot possibly win unless some form of effective control is imposed on these websites.
|"At the moment, it's a free for all. The propagators of this propaganda can hide behind fake identities.
"There's no consequence for them so lies can be propagated with no risk attached to be out to have lied and misled people.
I feel that such controls are long overdue and I hope and pray that eventually, some politician will be brave enough."
LBC: "It's not the England I came to": Auschwitz survivor tells LBC
Ivor Perl said that when he arrived in England, he thought it was "heaven'. He told Andrew Castle that it's no longer the England he came to.
Ivor Perl was born in 1932 in Hungary. He had five brothers and three sisters.
He was taken to Auschwitz, aged 12, with his entire family. Only Ivor and one of his brother survived.
He spoke to Andrew Castle as part of the commemoration of 75 years since Auschwitz was liberated.
Ivor told Andrew Castle about his experience of the Holocaust.
He was first deported to a ghetto, then to Auschwitz.
He described arriving there as "horrendous" and how it followed a four day journey in a cattle truck with 70 to 80 people.
Upon arriving, he was separated from his mother and sisters. He never saw them again.

Btsalmo Demands Firing of Sabado Cartoonist After Antisemitic Cartoon
Btsalmo, a human rights organization based in Israel, has written to the editor of Sabado Magazine, demanding the dismissal of cartoonist Vasco Gargalo for his cartoon of a “Palestinian” Holocaust. The cartoon depicts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shoving a PA flag-draped coffin into an oven bearing the infamous slogan from the gates of Auschwitz, Arbeit Macht Frei, “work will set you free.”Thousands call for congressmen to withdraw support for 'antisemitic' CAIR
The letter to the executive editor of Sabado was copied, among others, to the Portuguese Prime Minister, the Ambassador of Portugal to Israel, Israel’s prime minister, and the Israeli Ambassador to Portugal. Btsalmo CEO Shai Glick, notes in the letter that the cartoon qualifies as both Holocaust denial and minimization according to the official International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
More than 9,000 Americans have signed a petition calling on members of Congress to withdraw statements of support issued to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization which the petition's signatories say is antisemitic.
More than 120 members of Congress, including Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairs Pramila Jayapal and Mark Poucan, and presidential hopefuls, senators Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar, wrote letters to CAIR last year ahead of the organization's 25th anniversary, praising its work.
The letters were printed in full in the program for a gala held to mark the occasion; three were from Republican representatives.
But thousands of Americans have called on the congressmen to renounce their letters, arguing that CAIR is an antisemitic organization and therefore cannot be supported by anyone who claims to oppose racism.
"Although CAIR leaders claim to oppose antisemitism, they routinely put blatantly antisemitic speakers front and center at some of their biggest events, including their recent 25th anniversary gala. No organization that truly opposes antisemitism would highlight such prominent bigots," the petition text states.
The petition statement cites four figures connected with CAIR who have displayed antisemitism publicly.
The first is Democratic representative Ilhan Omar, who is herself one of the authors of the letters of support. Omar headlined the gala at which the letters were circulated.
You mean the same group of people whose views were considered “infected with Jew hatred” to such a degree the Obama White House called them “troubling?” A great example of how anyone can reboot themselves in Washington.

Labour refuses to give leadership candidates its response to EHRC antisemitism probe
Labour general secretary Jennie Formby has refused to make the party’s submission to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) available to candidates fighting to replace Jeremy Corbyn as leader.Jewish groups ‘disappointed’ with Montreal rejection of IHRA
The JC understands that, at a meeting on Wednesday, Wigan MP Lisa Nandy asked for the material - submitted as part of the equality watchdog's probe into whether the party is institutionally antisemitic - to be shared with the four candidates.
But Ms Formby said she had been told to refuse this request after seeking advice from Labour’s external counsel.
She also insisted that former deputy leader Tom Watson and other members of Labour’s shadow cabinet had been offered an opportunity to view the submission last year.
One party source told the JC: "It seems astonishing the general secretary is refusing to share the EHRC submission from the party.
“One of the first major jobs Jeremy Corbyn’s replacement will have to do is implement the findings of the EHRC.
“To keep the leadership contenders in the dark over the party’s position is a joke, really.” (h/t Zvi)
The Federation CJA and the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs-Québec (CIJA) have expressed concern over the decision of Montreal’s mayor not to support the adoption of International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism.MESA Hits Bottom, Continues Digging in Support of Anti-Israel Activism
According to the organizations, the Montreal City Council was expected to vote on a motion calling on the city to adopt IHRA on Monday, but the vote and debate, introduced by Lionel Perez, was postponed to Tuesday morning because it coincided with International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau.
“During the [Tuesday] debate, Mayor Valérie Plante proposed to refer the motion to the Commission de la présidence du conseil, suggesting that the city of Montreal should develop its own definition of antisemitism,” the statement said. “Perez rejected the proposal and withdrew the motion.”
Reacting to the situation, Federation CJA president Gail Adelson-Marcovitz and CIJA cochairman Reuben Poupko said they were deeply disappointed in Plante’s decision.
“[The mayor] did not support the adoption of the most widely accepted definition of antisemitism, a tool endorsed by reputable international bodies and adopted by dozens of democratic countries, including Canada, to enhance the fight against resurgent antisemitism,” the two said in a statement. “Indeed, Canada and many other countries recently chose to restate their commitment to IHRA and its definition of antisemitism.” (h/t Zvi)
MESA's letter defends SJP, which organized a boycott of pro-Israel student groups. MESA it opposes the Department's investigation because it's "politically motivated," and thatthe complaint conflates support for Palestinians and criticism of Israel with antisemitism.BBC Exploits Holocaust Remembrance Event With Gratuitous Propaganda
That claim is false. SJP and related groups who promote the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel are not critics of Israel or Israeli policy; they are opposed to Israel's existence.
MESA president Dina Rizk Khoury. Khoury, who supports academic boycotts of Israel, co-signed the letter,
If you thought that MESA couldn't discredit itself any more after inviting Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill to deliver the keynote address urging academics to support BDS at its annual meeting last year, this letter shows the association isn't done.
The reference to “occupied Palestinian territories,” which has nothing at all to do with the report’s subject matter, is both gratuitous and, as CAMERA’s Gilead Ini has explained in another context, incorrect. Guerin’s inference of how some Israelis see their country, and her implication that this view is unjustified, is insulting to the many people for whom Israel was, in fact, a lifeline after they survived a genocide, as well as to their descendants.Retired US Army commander: Iran Quds Force not the same without Soleimani
The report was criticized by many, including former BBC executives. The British Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women asserted that the report would “only serve to feed and fuel antisemitism.” The editor of the Jewish Chronicle called the report “depraved,” explaining, “note that ‘but’ in her final sentence. You Israelis, she is saying, are the bullies now, with your military and your occupation. ‘But’ you have the gall still to think of yourselves as being the persecuted.”
And the Board of Deputies of British Jews stated, “In an otherwise moving report on the experiences of a Holocaust survivor, Orla Guerin’s attempt to link the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the horrors of the Holocaust was crass and offensive.” In light of Guerin’s history of bias, the BOD wrote, “it is questionable why the BBC would even use her for this sensitive assignment.”
The BBC has so far defended Guerin’s report, claiming that her “brief reference in our Holocaust report to Israel’s position today did not imply any comparison between the two.”
This is not the first time that the BBC has inserted political commentary concerning Israel into coverage of unrelated issues concerning Jews. In January 2015 Tim Willcox of BBC News interviewed a French-Israeli woman attending a rally in memory of the victims of the Paris terror attacks. She expressed concern about persecution of Jews, saying “the situation is going back to the days of the 1930s in Europe,” whereupon Willcox stated, “Many critics though of Israel’s policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well.”
Iran and Hezbollah will not risk a major war with Israel, ex-CIA director and general David Petraeus said on Wednesday.
Speaking from the INSS annual international conference in Tel Aviv, Petraeus explained that a combination of US and Israeli military power had established deterrence with both Iran and Hezbollah from major risky actions, even as they might risk smaller confrontations.
Petraeus said that, “Iran will not risk a major war because it would put its survival at risk,” stating that Tehran knew Jerusalem would not hesitate to unleash massive force in a broad conflict and that even the US might get involved.
He added that he believed Russia would act to restrain the Islamic Republic from major destabilizing activities.
Regarding Hezbollah, he said, “Hezbollah will not risk a full war” with Israel “unless it is pushed into a corner.”
The former CIA director said that, “we in the US underestimated for years” the significance of the blow Israel “dealt Hezbollah during the 2006 Lebanon War.”
He said Israel’s use of force against Hezbollah in 2006 deters Hezbollah from a larger fight to this day.

Iranian chess master: Hijab 'limits' women instead of 'protecting' them
Female Iranian chess grandmaster Mitra Hejazipour has openly claimed that the hijab serves as a "limitation" for women not "protection," demonishing the country's compulsory hijab dress codes in an Instagram post on Tuesday.Iranian factory makes Israeli and American flags to burn
Hejazipour added that the hijab serves as lucid representation of a set of beliefs that designate women as "the second sex."
"It creates many limitations for women and deprives them of their basic rights. Is this protection? I say definitely not, it is solely and merely a limitation," she wrote.
Hejazipour claimed further, that starting around the age of six, a relative used to bully her into consistently wearing her hijab, even around the house. At the age of 27, after more than 20 years of consistently wearing a hijab everywhere she goes and considering she has now become "an example to others," the chess grandmaster has decided "not to have a share in this horrendous lie and not to play the game of 'We love the hijab and have no problem with it' anymore."
She protested in clear dismay of the hijab late last December, when she removed her hijab during the World Rapid & Blitz Chess Championship in Moscow - a move that got her sacked from the Iranian national team and expelled from the Iranian Chess Federation after playing for the Islamic Republic for over 18 years.
Business is booming at Iran's largest flag factory which makes US, British and Israeli flags for Iranian protesters to burn.Iranian Animation Group Releases Video Depicting Countless Coffins of American Soldiers
At the factory in the town of Khomein, southwest of the capital Tehran, young men and women print the flags by hand then hang them up to dry. The factory produces about 2,000 US and Israeli flags a month in its busiest periods, and more than 1.5 million square feet of flags a year.
Tensions between the United States and Iran have reached the highest level in decades after top Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad on Jan. 3, prompting Iran to retaliate with a missile attack against a US base in Iraq days later.
In state-sponsored rallies and protests in Iran, demonstrators regularly burn the flags of Israel, US and Britain.
Ghasem Ghanjani, who owns the Diba Parcham flag factory, said: "We have no problem with the American and British people. We have (a) problem with their governors. We have (a) problem with their presidents, with the wrong policy they have."
"The people of America and Israel know that we have no problem with them. If people burn the flags of these countries at different rallies, it is only to show their protest." (h/t Zvi)
On January 21, 2020, an Iranian animation group called SSAFF uploaded an animated video titled “Ayn Assad” to the Iranian website aparat.com. The animation shows the “aftermath” of the January 8 Iranian attack on the Ayn Al-Asad airbase by depicting hundreds of coffins covered in U.S. flags that have skulls instead of stars. A helicopter is shown flying over the coffins, and the pilot says into his radio that there are “many corpses” that cannot be evacuated with one helicopter. The pilot then requests for an additional helicopter to be sent to evacuate the bodies. The animation ends with the following quote from Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei: “They received a slap in the fact [that] night.”

New York Guardian Angels patrol a Jewish neighborhood on edge
On a windy January night in Brooklyn, a young Jewish woman wary of rising anti-Semitism in her city threw a man who had confronted her to the sidewalk.Comtech Telecom to buy Israel’s Gilat for $532m in cash and stock deal
It was Ariana Gold's first night of training with the Guardian Angels, a volunteer neighborhood patrol group that has started patrolling the borough's Crown Heights section, where attacks against ultra-orthodox Jews have risen in recent months.
"I think a lot of people are afraid and I think rightly so," Gold said. "We've seen a lot of attacks in the Jewish communities."
Gold, 28, who lives in a different Brooklyn neighborhood and is not ultra-orthodox, is among the first group of local Jewish women to sign up with the Guardian Angels, which was born in New York during the high-crime late 1970s and now has branches in dozens of cities across the country and around the world.
The defense techniques she was shown on her first night are designed to "bring a person into submission without really hurting them," said martial arts master Milton Oliver, 51, a construction supervisor and Guardian Angel since 1982.
Gold, a New York native who has been boxing for exercise for five years, found her way to the Guardian Angels after spotting a recruitment poster in the subway.
"I believe in community engagement and working with communities, I believe in martial arts and self-defense, I believe in volunteerism and taking care of the people around you," said Gold, who works at a non-profit organization. "So, this kind of combined all of those traits."
US Comtech Telecommunications Corp. said Wednesday it will buy Israel’s Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. for $532.5 million in a cash and share deal.Israel Electric inks deal to help safeguard Tokyo Olympics from cyberattack
Founded in 1987 with its headquarters in Petah Tikva, Israel, Gilat is a maker of satellite networking technologies and services. Its product portfolio includes a cloud-based VSAT network platform, high-speed modems, high performance on-the-move antennas and high-efficiency, high-power amplifiers.
Comtech, a maker of products, systems and services for advanced communications solutions, has agreed to acquire Gilat in a cash and stock transaction for $10.25 per Gilat ordinary share of which 70% will be paid in cash and 30% in Comtech common stock, resulting in an enterprise value of approximately $532.5 million, the two companies said in a statement. The price is a premium of some 14.52% to Gilat’s 90-day volume-weighted average trading price, the statement said.
Upon completion of the transaction, Gilat’s shareholders will own approximately 16.1% of the combined company.
The combined companies will employ some 3,000 people and offer satellite technology, public safety and location technology and secure wireless solutions to commercial and government customers around the world, the statement said.
Following the deal, Comtech will seek to dual list its shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the statement said. The US company’s shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq, while the shares of Gilat are listed on both exchanges.
Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), the nation’s main electricity provider, has signed an agreement with a leading energy utility in Japan to help it secure infrastructure against cyberattacks during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and further, the chairman of the Israeli utility told a gathering of officials, entrepreneurs and investors at a cybersecurity conference in Tel Aviv.Defense firm exhibits novel way of fighting fires from higher altitudes
“A Japanese top energy utility corporate, and IEC have signed a collaboration agreement for cyber services, including support at the Tokyo Olympics,” Yiftah Ron-Tal, of the IEC, said at the Cybertech 2020 conference on Wednesday, without disclosing the name of the Japanese corporation.
Yosi Shneck, the head of cyber entrepreneurship and business development at the Israeli firm, said the idea behind the deal was to help the Japanese company secure its critical infrastructure during the Olympic games and for additional cooperation even after the games are over.
The Israeli energy firm has similar cooperation agreements with an electricity producer in Canada and a European utility, he explained in an interview with The Times of Israel on the sidelines of the conference.
On Wednesday, Israel Electric launched a suite of new cybersecurity products and services that include both software and hardware to protect the energy industry from cyberattacks.
Since the 1950s, aerial firefighting has been conducted using liquid cascade drop methods, which require firefighting sorties at low altitudes.
Although effective, these methods are restricted to daytime-only flights because of their altitude.
Haifa-based defense firm Elbit Systems is changing the way fires are being fought, after completing its first successful test of the HyDrop system, which allows planes to fight fires from a higher altitude and with higher precision.
Elbit said the test took place during a field demonstration, as part of an exercise led by the Fire and Rescue Service.
During the exercise, two Air Tractor aircraft from were directed to extinguish a burning field from as high as 150 m., which is more than four times higher than the average altitude of a standard aerial firefighting sortie, it explained.
“Using the HyDrop system, each aircraft launched 1.6 tons of 140-gram liquid pellets in a computed ballistic trajectory, achieving a precise hit with saturation of one to two liters per square meter.”
Plans afoot to bring 400 member of Falash Mura community to Israel
Efforts are underway to bring 400 members of the Falash Mura community in Ethiopia to Israel before the March 2 election, with a vote in the cabinet to approve the initiative expected at the following cabinet meeting next week.
In October 2018, the government approved a decision to bring a thousand members of the approximately 8,000-strong community remaining in Ethiopia to Israel in 2019, but only 600 were brought by the government that year.
Likud MK Gadi Yevarkan is apparently involved in the initiative to bring the remaining 400 of the 2019 quota, although he did not respond to requests for comment.
Avraham Neguise, a former Likud MK, is also working on the effort and said he hoped government approval would be given as soon as possible, saying they could arrive in the next few weeks.
Concerns have been raised that the effort to bring the 400 members of the community is a political ploy to boost the Likud’s electoral appeal to the 121,000-strong Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel.

I was a longtime fan of MAD TV. Unlike SNL, whose format (celebrity guests reading cue cards) has become very stale (with some exception), MAD TV always seemed to put funny first. Sure, celebrities might show up, but the real joy was watching a talented cast of very different comics creating actually funny characters and sketches and parodies and improv bits that riffed on pop culture and were just awesome.
I was not a big fan of the early years, but everything after 2000 was a lot of fun. So, naturally I was bummed when the show got canned after fourteen years, especially since the last cast was starting to gel with new folks and veterans. But it’s also great to see the cast members go off and do movies and TV and theater. Nicole Parker was in WICKED. Matt Braunger, Bobby Lee and Arden Myrin are rocking Chelsea Lately. Christa Flanagan was on a few episodes of MAD MEN (though I hope she finds her own show, she was a master of creating those funny-uncomfortable moments in sketches which make you wince and laugh at the same time, and her webshow HOPE IS EMO, brought to you by the nuts behind ASK A NINJA, was awesome).
Now, two of my faves are getting their own show: Jordan Peele and Keegan-Micahel Key!
Looks like it will be sketch comedy, which is terrific. Fingers crossed it gets a chance to fly.

Douglas County Sheriff’s authorities would like to get their hands on the person who made a bogus call Monday night about a hostage situation at a home near 150th and Ida Streets. Douglas County Chief Deputy Sheriff Marty Bilek says the caller also contacted the residents of the home and told them an officer was on the way to arrest a family member for sexual assault.
“It was almost as if someone was trying to stage a conflict with law enforcement.”
Chief Deputy Bilek says the search is on for the person responsible.
“We are currently looking for the person who made this bogus phone call. It is a very serious matter when you stage confrontations with law enforcement.”
Chief Deputy Bilek says this call also put the family in danger.
“The person was not only threatening the residents there but also threatening law enforcement that would respond to that location.”
Deputies and a swat team and Omaha police officers surrounded the home while trying to make contact with the family inside. This was at 11:30. About four hours later a person inside contacted police. He or she had taken the phone off the hook and a relative helped get in touch with family who was sleeping and not aware of what was going on. They did report they too had been receiving harassing phone calls.

Once upon a time, God created the heavens and the earth. God said, "Let there be light", and there was light. And they all lived happily ever after.
The Bible can be used to teach children how narrative storytelling works, according to academics at the University of Exeter. By analysing the Old and New Testaments, students can learn creative writing from the greatest story ever told.
"You could think of it like a television drama series," they write in a new guide for teachers. "Each episode tells a small story of its own, but is also part of a broader narrative."
This view of Biblical storytelling was echoed by Mick Connell, co-director of the National Association for the Teaching of English. "Both Testaments fit anecdotal and allegorical stories within a larger narrative," he said. "It's a really interesting narrative model. And, of course, they are cracking good stories."
David and Goliath in particular was "a belting good story", he added. "Especially as England goes into the World Cup."
The tales also vary in scope and scale, said Esther Reed, professor of theology and religion at Exeter and one of the academics behind The Art of Bible Reading. "Some stories are about the beginning of the universe and some are very personal."
For example, the story of Adam and Eve is a very human depiction of temptation. "It's about the truths. The theological truth and the existential, personal truths that are there," she said.
Bible stories can also be used to explore issues of gender politics. "They're not without problem," Professor Reed acknowledged. "The Adam and Eve story has been told in the church in ways that subjugate women. These stories have influenced how Western culture has developed."
Mr Connell shares this perspective. "Look at the representation of gender," he said. "There are issues like authority, tolerance of the foreigner. These stories are really rich in terms of discussing moral and ethical situations."
The Bible also offers a wealth of interesting characterisation. "Peter is always blustering about, making an ass of himself," Mr Connell said of the New Testament apostle. "He reminds me of myself. All of these characters I find eminently empathetic."
The Art of Bible Reading focuses on eight Old and New Testament narratives, including the creation, the flood, David and Goliath, the nativity and the crucifixion. Students are asked to look at the stories individually but also at the way they fit into the overarching narrative of creation, fall and salvation.
Intended for 11- to 14-year-olds, the book also suggests a range of creative exercises, involving writing, acting and drawing, which allow children to reinterpret the stories. For example, they are invited to imagine Noah's diary entries and to stage a play retelling the story of David and Goliath.
"Retelling can be fantastic," said Mr Connell. "If you were to tell the story of the immaculate conception from Joseph's viewpoint, you would have a very different kind of narrative. Why did he accept Mary? Why did he marry her?"
However, although Mr Connell believes the Bible has a place alongside the works of Shakespeare in the literary canon, introducing it into the English curriculum could be problematic. "It all has to be taken within the context of a multi-faith, multicultural classroom," he said. "Many classrooms have children from quite fundamentalist faith positions now and you don't want to upset them.
"In the end, nobody wants to see these stories as narratives alone. With the possible exception of the English teacher."
This Biblical passage is included in The Art of Bible Reading, a new guide for teachers:
"God looked at the world and saw that it was evil, for the people were all living evil lives. God said to Noah, `I have decided to put an end to the whole human race. I will destroy them completely, because the world is full of their violent deeds.' "

Dear Tiny Angel,
Two days ago I had one of those defining “Mommy moments”.
One minute, I’m sitting on the kitchen floor living in a moment that is otherwise totally forgettable.
And just like that, the next beautiful moment arrived as one that will be burned in my memory forever –
a squeal, a huge “look at me, Mommy” grin, and three unsteady, stumbling steps into my arms!
As I’ve watched you work diligently for the last two days to master your new skill,
I can’t help but wonder…
I wonder where those little feet will take you.
Will you run the bases, chase a soccer ball, or dance across a stage?
How far will you travel?
Will you see how places far from here can change who you are?
Will you feel how good it is to come home?
I wonder what dreams you will chase and
how long I will have the privilege to watch your journeys.
I watch you in these early days of walking and I hope.
I hope you spin until you’re dizzy as you admire the sky above you.
I hope you will dance until dawn, and walk home
singing much too loudly, arm in arm with true friends.
I hope you will stand up not only for yourself,
but maybe more importantly,
for those who cannot stand for themselves.
I hope when you are scared and worn down, you know you can always run home.
I hope someday you will walk down the aisle to the love of your life,
and walk hand-in-hand with that person for decades to come.
I hope someday your feet are bare because you’ve given your shoes
to someone who needed them more than you did.
I hope you will walk in front of people who need your strength,
behind people who are honorable and worth following,
and beside people who need your compassion and presence.
And don’t think for a second that every mother hasn’t seen the irony in all of this.
Those first precious steps come straight into our loving arms
only so we can encourage you to step farther and farther away.
Hoping you will make your own path and chase your own dreams.
I just hope that someday,
you have developed a deep appreciation for where you come from,
enough confidence to walk far, far from here,
and a desire to come home for a while and tell me all about it.
All my love,


A primer on the Public Records Act
by Andrew Bergh
Need a refresher course on the Public Records Act, which is codified
at chapter 42.56 RCW? An excellent place to start is White v. City of
Lakewood, _ Wn. App. _ (2016), which was decided three months ago by
the Washington Court of Appeals (Division Two).
White arises from a criminal investigation that took place in
Pierce County a little over four years ago.
In mid-May 2012, Officer Noble of the Lakewood Police Department used
information from a confidential informant to obtain a search warrant for
an apartment in Lakewood. The search warrant was executed on May 18,
2012, resulting in the seizure of three grams of marijuana, a few pipes,
and some cash. No arrests were made; no further investigation was
conducted; and Officer Noble left the police department for unknown
reasons in August 2012.
Thereafter, James White, a criminal defense lawyer in Tacoma, was
contacted by a potential client wanting to know if he/she had a civil
rights claim arising from the execution of the search warrant. Over the
course of the next three months, White served three different public
records requests on the City of Lakewood.
The first PRA request was served on June 26, 2012. It was worded
generally, asking for “any documents” relating to the execution of the
search warrant at the apartment in question, including “any lists or
inventory of items recovered.” The City responded one week later on
July 3, 2012, claiming the criminal investigation was still “active” –
and that the requested documents were therefore exempt from disclosure
under the so-called “effective law enforcement” exemption contained in
Twenty four days later on July 27, 2012, White served a second PRA
request on the City that was essentially identical to the first one. The
only difference was that it sought not only “any documents” but also any
“emails/communications/reports.” The City responded almost seven weeks
later on Sept. 5, 2012. This time, records were produced but with the
We have released the portions of the record which are not exempt
from disclosure by [chapter 42.56 RCW] and/or other statutes.. . . .
Your request for public records will be considered closed unless
you respond to the contrary by October 5, 2012.
According to a paralegal employed by the City, she put the documents
produced in the City’s outgoing mailbox on Sept. 5, 2012. (This date is
relevant to the statute of limitations defense later asserted by the
White served his third PRA request on the City 19 days later on
Sept. 24, 2012. A variation on the same theme, this request sought all
“search warrants/information/documents” supplied to the Superior Court
judge who had issued the search warrant for the apartment in question.
The request was forwarded to a lieutenant at the Lakewood Police
Department, who concluded that the sought documents were part of an
“active investigation.” Consequently, in its response eight days later
on Oct. 2, 2012, the City claimed they were exempt from disclosure under
the effective law enforcement exemption.
Fast forward almost one year later to Sept. 5, 2013, which is when
White hired counsel to assist with an enforcement action against the
City under the PRA. The lawsuit was filed in Pierce County Superior
Court the very next day on Sept. 6, 2013 – i.e., exactly 366 days after
the City had served its response to the second PRA request. Seventeen
days later on Sept. 23, 2013 – exactly 356 days after its initial
response to the third PRA – the City provided the requested search
warrant and affidavits.
It’s unclear what events took place during the next 14 months. What’s
known, though, is that in early November 2014, White filed a motion to
show cause for PRA penalties, and the City included a cross-motion for
dismissal – presumably on statute of limitations grounds – in its
White didn’t fare so well in Round One.
With regard to the first and second PRA requests, the trial court
ruled that the plaintiff’s claims were time-barred by the one-year
limitation period set forth in RCW 42.56.550(6). As for the third PRA
request, which is the one where the City didn’t produce responsive
documents for 356 days, the trial court found the City had mishandled
the request and imposed a $10 per day penalty for its violation.
White timely appealed.
At the outset of its analysis, the Court of Appeals identified the
principles applicable generally to the PRA:
As a “strongly worded mandate for broad disclosure of public
records,” the disclosure provisions of the PRA are broadly construed
while its exemptions are narrowly construed.
The responding agency has the burden of proof that refusal to
permit public inspection and copying, whether in whole or in part,
is authorized by statute.
Unless the requested record falls within a specific exemption of
the PRA (or other relevant statute), the agency must produce the
A person who prevails in an action brought under the PRA shall be
awarded all costs, including reasonable attorney fees. In addition,
the trial court has discretion to award up to $100 for each day such
person was denied the right to inspect or copy the public record.
As mentioned above, two of White’s PRA requests were dismissed on
statute of limitations grounds. Under RCW 42.56.550(6), PRA actions
against an agency must be filed within one year of either the agency’s
“claim of exemption” or “the last production of a record.” As
shown by Division Two’s review of two recent Washington Supreme Court
decisions, however, the one-year limitation period is only triggered
when a valid claim of exemption is made.
The first case discussed by the Court of Appeals was Rental
Housing Ass’n of Puget Sound v. City of Des Moines, 165 Wn.2d 525
(2009). There, the agency’s response to the PRA request had failed to
describe the withheld records with any particularity – specifically, by
stating the type of record withheld, its date, the number of pages, and
the author/recipient. Moreover, the response didn’t explain, either
specifically or generally, which statutory exemption(s) applied to the
withheld records. Under these circumstances, said our high court, the
agency’s reply “was insufficient to constitute a proper claim of
exemption” – and therefore didn’t trigger the one-year limitation
The second case covered by Division Two was Sanders v. State,
169 Wn.2d 827 (2010). There, the Attorney General’s office responded to
a PRA request with 1,000 pages of material and an index of all records
in its possession, including those withheld. Although the index asserted
the attorney-client and work product privileges as to the documents
withheld, it nowhere provided any facts about how the exemptions
applied. Rejecting the State’s argument that its index was sufficient to
satisfy the PRA, the Sanders court held that claimed exemptions
“cannot be vetted for validity if they are unexplained.” The justices
also provided the following definitions:
A record is either “disclosed” or “not disclosed.” To be
disclosed, its existence must be revealed to the requesting party.
Disclosed records are either “produced” or “withheld.”
Withholding a nonexempt document is a “wrongful withholding”
that violates the PRA.
A document can never be exempt from disclosure; it can only be
exempt from production. If a claimed exemption doesn’t actually
cover the withheld document, it isn’t “valid.”
Since the City had specifically invoked the effective law enforcement
exemption, however, the Court of Appeals had to discuss yet another
decision by our high court, Newman v. King County, 133 Wn.2d 565
(1997). There, a journalist had made a PRA request for access to the
police file of an unsolved murder dating back to 1969. The county
provided the initial incident report but nothing else, claiming a
categorical exemption under the effective law enforcement exemption
without disclosing any details whatsoever regarding the withheld
records. In addition, the county presented evidence to establish that
the case had not been closed and was still being investigated. Given
these circumstances, the Newman court held that a categorical
exemption is proper in the case of “an open and active police
investigation file because it is essential for effective law
There is a certain tension between Rental Housing and
Sanders, supra, which require a sufficient disclosure in
order for an exemption claim to be valid, and Newman, which says
a categorical exemption – without any disclosure at all – suffices when
the effective law enforcement exemption is claimed. Division Two
reconciled these cases by noting how “an open and active police
investigation is a unique public service requiring unique safeguards
from premature disclosure.” On the other hand, the Court of Appeals
[T]he agency asserting a categorical exemption from disclosure
based on the effective law enforcement exemption statute, does so at
its own risk because the exemption only covers investigations that
are “open and active.” [Citation.] Thus, if the investigation is in
fact not open and active, then the agency asserting that it is an
open and active investigation is potentially liable for failing to
disclose or produce the requested documents and the statute of
limitations under RCW 42.56.550(6) is not triggered because the
agency’s claimed exception is invalid.
Against this background, Division Two proceeded to conduct a de novo
review of the trial court’s rulings on a request-by-request basis.
Having laboriously set forth most of the ground rules, its discussion
was fairly straightforward.
With regard to White’s first PRA request, the City had asserted a
categorical exemption as allowed by Newman, supra. As the
City conceded at oral argument, however, the underlying investigation
was no longer open and active when the first PRA request was served in
late June 2012. Since this meant the City’s claim of exemption was
invalid and insufficient to trigger the statute of limitations, the
Court of Appeals held that the trial court had erred by dismissing
White’s claim on the ground it was time-barred.
In its response to the second PRA request, the City had not
specifically cited the effective law enforcement exemption, instead
referencing the PRA (“and other statutes”) in only a general way.
Cutting the City some slack, Division Two said this verbiage was
sufficient to constitute an “implied claim” of exemption. Whether
express or implied, however, the fact remained there was no open and
active investigation when the claim was asserted – so once again, there
was no valid claim and the statute of limitations wasn’t then triggered.
But what did start the clock running, said the Court of Appeals,
was the “last production” by the City. Since the production date was
Sept. 5, 2012 and White’s lawsuit wasn’t filed until 366 days later on
Sept. 6, 2013, Division Two ultimately agreed that White’s claim arising
from his second PRA request had been properly dismissed as time-barred.
With regard to his third PRA request, White had only argued that the
trial court had abused its discretion by imposing a mere $10 per day
penalty. As the Court of Appeals observed, when considering the proper
penalty award, trial courts must consider the seven mitigating and nine
aggravating factors outlined in Yousoufian v. Office of Ron Sims,
King County Executive, 168 Wn.2d 444 (2010). In light of its holding
that White’s claim arising from the first PRA request had been
improperly dismissed, Division Two declined to reach the merits of his
argument, vacated the prior award, and remanded the matter with
instructions for the trial court to reconsider the properly penalty
amount using the Yousoufian factors. As the prevailing party on
the claim arising from his first PRA request, White was also authorized
to petition for his reasonable attorney fees.
If you have little or no familiarity with public records requests,
the PRA can be mildly daunting, if not intimidating. At the end of the
day, however, the PRA can be an invaluable discovery tool if public
records have any relevance in a given case. While litigants commonly
(and improperly) play hide-the-ball during discovery, a public agency
doesn’t have that same option. And if an agency is less than
forthcoming in response to a PRA request, between the liberal
construction of the PRA in favor of broad disclosure and the rights and
remedies afforded by it, requesting parties have considerable leverage
to make sure the agency doesn’t shirk its statutory responsibilities.

THE Department of Health (DOH) 7 Center for Health Development recognized the dedication, unending support and extensive efforts of the University of San Carlos Cebuano Studies Center (CSC) during the Virtual Local Health System Awards on Dec. 11, 2020 through Facebook Live.
The Cebuano Studies Center was one of the DOH partners in the delivery of quality health services in the region to address health-related inequalities.
At the height of the Covid-19 crisis earlier this year, the CSC extended its Cebuano translation services to the DOH and offered to translate various health materials issued by the government agency.
Translators from Inotherwords Incorporated, a partner organization of CSC, volunteered their expertise and experience, and were thus tapped for the task.
They were Hannah Marie Aranas, Niño Augustine Loyola and Trizer Dale Mansueto.
CSC Director Hope Sabanpan-Yu said translation is one of the priorities of the Center.
Aside from helping institutions in their work to reach the community, Yu hopes that the rest of the world will be able to read important Cebuano literary works in the near future.

7 Huge Benefits of Beer
Posted by Vishal Kaushik on December 22nd, 2020
Along with protein, beer is also rich in other nutrients such as magnesium, potassium , phosphorus, vitamins, and maltose which also help to treat your skin. It detoxifies the skin, moisturizes, balances the pH level of the skin and is an anti-aging which can prevents the signs of aging. Apart from this, drinking beer is also very beneficial for your health. Its limited intake helps in fighting many diseases.
Health Benefits of Drinking Beer
Beer benefits may include:
1. Beer Keeps the Kidneys Healthy
Small and hard lumps begin to form due to excessive accumulation of salt in the gall bladder or kidney tubes. The reason for all this is just and only dehydration. However, low and limited beer consumption is very beneficial in relieving this problem. But for this problem, always consult your doctor before consuming beer.
2. For A Healthy Brain
You all know that as our age increases, our brain's ability to function slows down. Consuming small or limited amounts of beer helps to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.
3. Beer For A Healthy Heart
Drinking beer daily reduces the risk of heart diseases by 30%. It has excellent anti-clotting effects, which keep the blood vessels clean and healthy. Rather, the researcher found that the level of fibrinogen decreases in people who consume beer every day. It is a protein that helps to prevent blood clotting.
4. Beer Strengthens Your Bones
Taking beer in small or limited amounts promotes healthy bones because it contains silicon. Silicon stimulates bone cells to be healthy and the estrogenic effect of beer keeps bones healthy.
5. Lowers the Risk of Cancer
Beer contains a very high amount of antioxidants and flavonoids that reduce the risk of cancer, especially prostate cancer in men. So enjoy every sip of beer from next time.
6. Good Source of Vitamin B
Research done at the Food Research Institute has shown that people who drink beer have much higher levels of vitamin B in their blood than those who do not drink. Surprisingly, beer is considered to be healthier than wine. Also, the amount of vitamin B in it is much more than that of wine. It also contains vitamin B12 and folic acid, both of which are very beneficial for you.
7. Lowers the Risk of Diabetes
A research by Harvard Research found that middle-aged people who occasionally consume this popular beverage have an increased amount of alcohol in their body. In this way they help to reduce the risk of having sugar to a great extent. But this benefit is available only to those who drink just two drinks a day.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - FC Cincinnati is one step closer to building a soccer-specific stadium in the West End.
The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education signed off on a resolution Monday night that approved plans to trade property ultimately allowing the club to build a new $214 million stadium where Stargel Stadium now sits, near Taft High School. Stargel Stadium will be torn down and rebuilt across the street from Taft.
“It just finalized the agreement for the land swap, and things will move forward from now,” said Carolyn Jones, the President of the CPS Board of Education. “Our facilities people have a plan in place. We are ready to start digging ground on the property across the street.”
Specific details about the new Stargel site have yet to be revealed, but CPS board members have said they believe the new stadium will be better for the students.
“They are getting excited about it. It was a rough year, but I think as people have become more familiar and educated around what this might look like and how it might impact the community, I think the response has been very positive,” said Jones.
FC Cincinnati is set to take over the land at Taft in November, after the current Stargel Stadium is demolished. Starting in December, 200 to 400 workers are expected to join forces to construct the new soccer stadium.
Jones said Taft’s last home football game at the current field is Friday night.
“There is a possibility of one or two more tournament games in the current stadium, and then we’ll hit the ground running," said Jones.
The CPS board expects to have the rebuilt Stargel Stadium up and running by the fall of 2019. The grand opening of FC’s soccer stadium is slated for March 1, 2021.

Day 58 – WEDNSDAY 18th March 2015
Through the concierge we booked a tour of the PETRONAS Towers. It cost an extra $30 to do this. We should have pre-booked online a few days before.
We walked from our hotel to the towers which took about 15 minutes in a rather hot 34 degrees. It appears that the sky is permanently hazy because, they say, by nearby Indonesia burning off their forest clearing. So visibility is always restricted.
To escape the heat we went to the movies (in the new shopping centre opposite the hotel) and Kingsman followed by dinner at the same Japanese restaurant.
