“What Options Are There for Buying My House?”
- ALL CASH OFFER – We buy your property completely AS-IS, and pay cash at closing.

A Broward jury took only four hours on Monday to clear a Plantation man of allegations that he shot a co-worker and another man during a crime spree at the Sawgrass Mills mall on July 4, 1999.
Troy Donahue Bennett, 24, immediately was set free after serving nearly two years in jail awaiting trial. He celebrated with his attorneys and family outside the courthouse.
"I thank the Lord for making this possible, and my lawyers for giving me the confidence that this would all work out right," Bennett said as his parents and family friends smiled with relief.
The jury of three women and three men acquitted him of 11 criminal charges that could have sent him to prison for at least six consecutive life sentences.
A day after the shootings at the mall, Bennett was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and other charges including armed kidnapping, attempted armed robbery, armed carjacking and aggravated assault. He had one misdemeanor conviction, for firing a gun in December 1998.
Bennett's attorneys, John Cotrone and Arthur Marchetta, presented no defense on Bennett's behalf except for a closing argument that focused on what they said was the prosecution's lack of evidence linking Bennett to the crime.
"The jury realized that you can't send someone away for life on such little evidence," Cotrone said. "The DNA evidence that was found did not match my client, the fingerprints did not match my client. Yet my client was locked up for two years."
Prosecutors could not be reached for comment late Monday after the verdict.
Bennett worked at the Polo Jeans outlet store with one of the shooting victims, JosM-i A. Padilla, 25, of Coral Springs. On the night of the incidents, prosecutors argued that Bennett tried to rob Padilla of the store's proceeds, tied him up and then shot him when he escaped. Customers dodged bullets as the crime unfolded near the Polo outlet store, the Cheesecake Factory and Wolfgang Puck's Grand CafM-i.
Padilla, who was shot in the neck and uses a wheelchair to get around, testified that Bennett was the gunman. Bennett was arrested after Padilla named him as the shooter in a note written while Padilla was on a respirator in the hospital.
A surveillance video from the store showed another man at the scene who has never been identified, Cotrone said.
The second shooting victim, Micheal Azizi, 43, who was visiting from California at the time, was hit by a stray bullet as he left a restaurant.
Azizi was not able to identify the shooter, the defense attorneys said.
Padilla could not be reached for comment Monday. A woman who answered the phone at his family's home said he was not available. Azizi also could not be reached. A woman who answered the phone at his home sounded distraught but said she did not want to discuss the verdict.
Three of the jurors who were contacted on Monday night said they did not want to discuss the case or their decision. Efforts to reach the other three jurors were unsuccessful.
"It was a classic case of a rush to judgment," defense attorney Marchetta said.
"Troy Bennett was arrested within 24 hours, the police had not done a complete investigation and there were tons of unanswered questions," Marchetta said.

He had just led the Cal Poly men's basketball team to its third consecutive first-round loss in the 2017 Big West Tournament when head coach Joe Callero became the highest paid coach on campus.
It's a year later, and outside of his salary, not much has changed.
Callero, whose base pay of $263,000 per year and another $38,700 worth of supplemental pay tacked on will keep him at the helm through the 2020 season, is once again heading into an offseason after being handed another first-round exit in the conference tournament following a losing year.
Cal Poly's 9-22 record (4-12, 7th Big West) was the worst in Callero's nine-year tenure and is the Mustangs' fifth straight losing season.
The first season of Callero's new three-year contract ended last week with a blowout loss to UC Santa Barbra in the first round of the Big West Tournament.
This wasn’t the arc that many Cal Poly basketball fans envisioned after the team made an improbable run in 2014 to a Big West Tournament title to earn its first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history — despite an overall losing record.
Callero thought that magical tournament win would be a big boost to recruiting and set the program up for years of success — but that didn't happen.
"Nobody is more frustrated than the head coach," Callero said in a phone interview from Denver on Thursday. "It’s my responsibility. I have to do a better job of developing our players, developing the program and developing creative recruiting approaches."
Since taking the job in 2009, Callero has coached two teams to above .500 records and has a winning percentage of .427 (120-161).
Callero found success early in his tenure and led Cal Poly to two 18-win seasons in 2011-12 and 2012-13. But since then, Cal Poly has struggled to contend in one of the weakest Division I conferences in the nation.
Despite standout guard play from senior Victor Joseph and junior Donovan Fields this season, Callero said Cal Poly struggled with its physicality as injuries to the team's big men added up. That led to a lack of defense and rebounding.
"We weren't consistent enough," Callero said. "We were knocking on the door, but people want championships."
The Cal Poly athletics website credits Callero for building the Mustangs into an "elite defensive program." For years that was true — but not lately. After leading the Big West in least points allowed in 2014-15 (58.7 ppg), Cal Poly has been at or near the bottom of that category each of the past three seasons. This season, Cal Poly was the worst defensive team in the conference, giving up 77.9 points per game, and was seventh in the conference in scoring (67.2 ppg).
In his attempt to build the program into a perennial contender, Callero said he's been hampered by a number of factors, including a lack of resources.
"We don’t have the advantages that some other schools have with location and academics. We can’t cry about it either," Callero said. "I knew that coming in."
To make up for it, Callero said he's had to come up with creative solutions like recruiting overseas and playing guarantee games (contests against larger programs that offer a nice pay-day to the smaller program). Games against Cal, Santa Clara, Stanford, SMU and others this season helped generate around $380,000 in revenue for the program, Callero said.
But on the court, Cal Poly is heading in the wrong direction. The last time Cal Poly won less than 10 games was the 2008-2009 season (7-21) under head coach Kevin Bromley. He was fired at the end of the season and replaced by Callero.
Callero said he had a 30-minute performance review with Cal Poly athletic director Don Oberhelman at the end of the season to discuss plans going forward.
“He said, ‘I know how hard your job is, I know how hard you’re working,’” Callero said.
Callero said he came away from the meeting with the understanding that “I should be in a position to complete my job for the remainder of this year coming into this next season.”
Oberhelman did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Despite what he was told, Callero knows no job is safe.
“Every coach is always aware that our contract could be bought out and we got to go,” Callero said. “We are all on one-day contracts.”
"I know that I have done the absolute best I can maximizing fundraising and playing guarantee games, so if I was let go I would say, ‘Well, I did everything I could and I am pretty proud of that,'" he added.
What might help turn things around is what Callero calls the "Nwaba factor."
Former Cal Poly standout David Nwaba became the first basketball player from Cal Poly to make it to the NBA when he signed with the L.A. Lakers in 2017. Nwaba is now a regular contributor for the Chicago Bulls, and that has played well for Callero as he works to recruit players for next season.
"It showed that you can go to Cal Poly and still get to the NBA. To get Nwaba in there, that had kind of been the glass ceiling," Callero said. "That Nwaba factor has been key to our improved recruiting, and I think that is going to bode well for us over the next couple years."
Pointing to an NBA player and an NCAA Tournament appearance, two success stories Callero hopes to springboard into more, helps. But Callero says he needs a lot more to establish a culture of success.
"My dream would be to be at Cal Poly. It’s been my baby for nine years, and if I would retire in another nine years then I would be the happiest man in the world. But I understand the pressure and expectations and outside opportunities," Callero said. "I’ve only got two years left on my contract, so I have to do some work over those two years."

DNA used in exoneration? No
Reasons for wrongful conviction:
Perjury or fase accusation
Michael's Wrongful Conviction
By the time Michael Graham was released from Louisiana’s death row at Angola in December 2000, he had spent half of his adult life – 14 years – behind bars. He was given a $10 check for transportation (bus fare cost $127 - his lawyer paid for it) and a state-issued denim jacket several sizes too large. He and his co-defendant, Albert Burrell, were accused of the murder of an elderly couple despite a lack of physical evidence and unreliable witnesses.
During their trial, the prosecution withheld key evidence and utilized three witnesses who later recanted their testimony. The chief witness, Olan Wayne Brantley, was known in the jail system as “Lyin’ Wayne.” A plea agreement was made between Brantley and the prosecution, even though Brantley had a record of mental instability. A judge noted that “the case against Mr. Graham and Mr. Burrell is so weak that it never should have been brought to the grand jury.”
Dismissing the charges, the attorney general's office cited a “total lack of credible evidence” and stated that “prosecutors would deem it a breach of ethics to proceed to trial.” DNA tests later proved that blood found at the victims’ home did not belong to Michael Graham or Albert Burrell. In light of the serious prosecutorial misconduct that put him on death row, Michael is making an effort not to be bitter about what happened. “I don’t like being angry,” he says. “I am, but I can keep it under control.”

What is love, I have often wondered. Surely, it is not the red balloons at the traffic signals or about the Archie’s greeting cards that sell over the first fortnight of chilly Februaries. It is profound, much more profound than that, of course. It is perhaps the strongest emotion we human beings are capable of. It is often larger than life itself. It can change the life that you lead, and it can change the person that you are. It is important to know how every love stories is immortal in its own way even if it does not result into a forever. You are never the same person before and after it. Think of it – shall we ever be able to love as innocently, as entirely as we had loved in our first crush?
What we know and believe to be love is really what the scholars have come to name as: Twin-flame Love!
The thing about soul-mates, the thing about being made for each other! Plato, the Greek philosopher, talked about that back in those days, and we talk about that even to this day. They say that humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. They were complete in themselves. But the gods felt threatened. They split humans in half as punishment for humanity’s pride and doubling the number of humans who would give tribute to the gods. But then, each human would then only have one set of genitalia and would forever long for his/her other half; the other half of his/her soul. So, by mistake, the Gods had created Love!!
It is said that when the two soul-mates find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lie with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that. As I read more about twin flame love and the different stages, surprisingly I found this is exactly the same concept that they use in the Yash Raj movies or in Disney fairytales. It does talk about the very same story, of having someone marked for you, and until you find your soul-mate your life is but incomplete.

Stories of two friends today, the furry one is Inky, who was overdue for a pedicure. Sandi helped me trick him by luring him into the bathroom with treats. I then ‘wrassled’ him into the kitty carrier and hustled him off to Union Cross Animal Hospital. He weighed in at 14 lb 10 oz, post clipping. While he was in the back a saw a woman carrying a beautiful cat in. I went to hold the door for her and the cat HISSED at me when I went to pat. She the proceeded to purchase some eye drops and walked back out to the car. She was just carrying her cat around for nothing. Weird. The cat, Lillie, was a pretty one, though, and I was glad to see her. Inky made it home no worse for wear. Improved actually, and a generous round of treats or two or three and he’s as fat and happy as ever. We actually got some exercise tonight, which he always enjoys.
I had lunch with my friend Don at Elizabeth’s Pizza on Groomtown Rd. in Greensboro. He has a new car, one with a lift for a ‘scooter’ in it. Apparently surgery didn’t help his knee problems and it doesn’t look like there’s much optimism. Otherwise things seems to be going well for him. Elsie has a new job and both boys are out of the house, though one of them is turning out to be a power-user of credit.

I'm so far over my Mendoza line it looks like an actual batting average. No thanks to the food I've consumed in the last several days. CG and her daughter and I went to NYC on Wednesday and back home yesterday. If you've found my blog from hers you've already read about our adventures.
I've been to NYC many times and love it every time I go, but this is the first time I've ever driven in Manhattan. Whew. Not a scared "whew" (I've driven on the beltway around Washington at rushhour), but more like "wow." Our hotel was on 7th Ave so I got to drive right down through Times Square (and Duffy Square if you're being picky) on the way to the Lincoln Tunnel for the journey home. CG had opened the sunroof since it wasn't raining any more and I had one hand on the wheel and the other hand on my camera snapping shots through the roof at every stop light. I guess I need to download them for viewing. I still don't know if they are any good. I saw the Naked Cowboy, but couldn't get a good shot of him from the moving van.

Gavin Pell’s family had no idea he had been bullied before he died.
On Thursday, they joined dozens of others at a demonstration outside Pearl River Central High School to speak out against bullying and to raise awareness about suicide and mental health.
Pell, a senior at PRC, died on Jan. 3 at the age of 18. His grandmother, Sheila Davis, confirmed Pell died by suicide. By speaking out, she said, his family hopes to encourage other young people to be open about their emotions and seek help when they need it.
Family members wore red T-shirts that included the word “Chef” with a spatula, because Gavin loved to cook, especially with his mother. Davis said he dreamed of owning a hotel where he would work as the head chef. He hoped to visit New York City one day.
The family didn’t know Gavin was being bullied until some of his classmates reached out after he died, Davis said. His attendance record was so important to him that he refused to miss class even when the family was headed to Nashville and wanted to leave early for a Kenny Chesney concert.
“He was just a sweetheart,” Davis said.
Demonstrators said Pell’s death should serve as a wake-up call to a school district they say has a major problem with bullying and accountability for students who hurt or mistreat others. Some attendees were parents whose children graduated years ago, but who still remember being punched during class transitions or mocked for their accents.
Jade Howell, who graduated from PRC in 2019, said she decided to organize the event because Gavin’s death was “truly crushing,” and she felt it ought to spark more attention and conversation around the issue of bullying. Howell said that she and friends of hers experienced bullying at PRC.
“We started the rally with the intention of letting others know that they’re not alone, their children are not alone,” Howell said.
Bullying is a common problem across American schools: one in five students surveyed say they have been bullied, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. In an interview with the Sun Herald on Wednesday, Superintendent Alan Lumpkin said the Pearl River County School District does not have a culture of tolerating bullying.
“We have the outlets in place for students to be able to report those things,” said Lumpkin, who also attended Thursday’s gathering. “We investigate the reports. And we apply the appropriate measures according to the investigation.”
Bullying often not reported
After Gavin died, Howell wrote a Facebook post criticizing the school and student body for bullying Gavin had experienced, and for what she saw as the school’s inadequate reaction to his death. Other students, alumni and parents commented with their own experiences of bullying at the district and the high school. Some described witnessing Gavin being picked on.
Pell’s father, Johnny Pell, commented on the thread to ask for information about what his son had experienced.
“I am Gavins Dad,” he wrote. “Thank you all for your prayers and concerns it really means alot. Anyone who witnessed Gavin being bullied, please contact me. I need to know.”
Lumpkin told the Sun Herald that the school had received no reports of bullying regarding Gavin. School leaders met with Johnny Pell, Lumpkin said, and shared that information with him.
Lumpkin acknowledged that bullying is often not reported. Only 46% of students bullied at school tell surveyors that they reported the incident to adults.
“I can tell you to reduce bullying, you have to use the reporting system,” Lumpkin said. “It’s hard for people to address an issue that they know nothing about.”
Sheila Davis told the Sun Herald that Pell’s family had received calls from some of Pell’s classmates, describing how he was treated. The family joined the rally because they hope their story will help others.
“We can’t do anything for him, but if we can stop one person...” she said.
Students say bullying ‘actually quite a problem’
On Thursday afternoon, family members including Gavin’s parents and older brother stood in the strip of grass along the road outside the high school. Lumpkin and other staff members stood with the group. Some people wrote messages on blue ribbon they tied to the fence, where red plastic cups had been arranged to form Gavin’s name.
Three members of the concert band missed part of practice to attend the event. None of them knew Gavin Pell well, but they described a school community where difference of any kind can make someone a target for mockery.
“I’m out here because I think bullying is actually quite a problem at our school,” said Bryant Blanchard, a senior. “I’ve witnessed it a few times, and nothing gets done about it.”
Anti-gay slurs like the f-word are “common vocabulary,” said Evan Owens, a junior. Some students mock others for their clothes or the kind of car they drive. Kids in band or drama are labeled “geeks,” said junior Austin Guidry.
They noted the turnout from current students wasn’t what they had expected or hoped for. Most attendees were alumni or parents, with only about a dozen current students out of a student body of around 1,000.
Most of the school doesn’t believe bullying is a problem, Blanchard said. During the last period of the day before the rally, the conversation about it was generally negative.
“In my last class period, I heard numerous time that people said they would hurt us with their cars,” Blanchard said.
“I heard that, too,” Owens added.
Davis and other family members traded favorite memories of Gavin. He collected board games and liked to play with Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards. When he was younger, he had talked about becoming an inventor, but as he got older he focused his creative energies in the kitchen.
His grandmother remembered a dish he had made from scratch, shrimp alfredo with asparagus. His father recalled his cabbage with sausage. He’d pretty much taken over cooking at home, and even made his own donuts.
That trip to Nashville for which Gavin refused to miss school had been an annual tradition to visit one of Gavin’s uncles there. Davis marveled that a teenager had been excited for a road trip with his grandmother and great-grandmother, and that he always opened the car door for his great-grandmother. He was, she said, “a perfect gentleman.”
There were no warning signs before his death.
“Something triggered it,” Davis said.

GOP OKs $31,000 for election map work
Report: Maps have cost taxpayers $1.5 million
MADISON, Wis. — The state Senate’s top Republican has approved payments of about $31,000 to a law firm that helped the GOP draw favorable new election maps.
Democrats blasted the timing of the last-minute payment, which came just before Republicans cede power to them.
Senate chief Clerk Jeff Renk said Senate Republican Leader Scott Fitzgerald approved the payment last week. Renk declined to immediately provide the amount of the payment, but Democratic Sen. Jon Erpenbach said Renk told him it was about $31,000.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report said that means taxpayers have spent more than $1.5 million to draw the maps and pay court costs associated with defending them.
The Democrats are preparing to take over the Senate on Monday following the successful ouster of state Sen. Van Wanggaard.


Wilson looks back at first-term accomplishments
District 1 News: Councilman Wilson
Hello everyone, At the beginning of January, City Council swore in two new members: Councilperson Bob Charland (District 3) and Councilman Khari Mosley (District 9), alongside re-elected members Councilwoman Deb Gross (District 7), Councilperson Barb Warwick (District 5), and myself. Council members also selected Councilman R. Danielle Lavelle as the new Council President and officially kicked off the 143rd session of City Council.
While giving my remarks, I reflected on what was accomplished in my first term and I’d like to share those in this article. In my first four years as councilman, I was able to allocate $38.4 million to the Northside. These millions of dollars went towards paving roads, redesigning streets, installing speed humps, fixing landslides, repairing and constructing bridges, rehabbing city steps, building playgrounds, lighting ball fields, and improving our parks. It is truly a collaborative effort to bring this amount of money and projects to the Northside and I could not have accomplished this without my great partners at City Council and in the Mayor’s Office who have worked closely with me to improve District 1.
It was a busy first term, as I was able to pass 61 resolutions and ordinances with the support of my fellow council members in those four years. I am especially proud of having passed legislation to create a rental registry in Pittsburgh, forgive $115 million of bad medical debt, protect reproductive freedoms here in the City of Pittsburgh, extend paid sick leave during the coronavirus pandemic, and establish outdoor dining standards in the aftermath of the pandemic.
During my first term, I also had the privilege to be named to the Board of the Land Bank, which was created to take control of deteriorating homes across the city and put them on a path to new ownership. With 13,000 abandoned properties in the city’s hands currently, getting the Land Bank working was critical. I am excited to share that it now has nearly 50 properties coming to market, to be sold to community groups and private owners in less than a year. This year, the Land Bank will work on taking in 68 lots and 32 structures and I look forward to championing the reuse of these 100 properties so that we can tackle blight in our neighborhoods swiftly and offer low-income and working families a path to home ownership.
At the start of my second term, I introduced legislation to change the City’s zoning code that would reduce burdens on proposals for attached homes. This bill amends an existing rule within the Zoning Code that treats “attached” row houses in “detached” districts as an unpermitted use, putting them in the same disfavored category as industrial and commercial uses. Recognizing that this rule sets an unreasonably high legal standard for approving proposals for building future attached row houses, my bill will do the following: allow attached single-family homes by-right in neighborhoods with lots 35 feet wide or smaller; permit attached single-family homes with lots larger than 35 feet wide as a Special Exception at the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
I look forward to working with my colleagues in council on this and other similar legislation within my second term. If we are going to make it easier and cheaper to build more housing and more affordable housing in Pittsburgh, we need to make sure that our own laws and rules are not getting in the way.
If you have any questions or concerns, call us at (412) 255-2135, email us at firstname.lastname@example.org, or find us on Facebook and X, formerly Twitter. My staff and I are looking forward to serving all of you in this new year!

Target of this antibody:
Alternative names of antibody target:
soluble Receptor Activator of NFkB Ligand, TNFSF11, TRANCE (TNF-related activation-induced cytokine), OPGL, ODF (Osteoclast differentiation factor)
RANKL and RANK are members of the TNF superfamily of ligands and receptors that play an important role in the regulation of specific immunity and bone turnover. RANK (receptor) was originally identified as a dendritic-cell-membrane protein, which by interacting with RANKL augments the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate naïve T-cell proliferation in a mixed lymphocyte reaction, to promote the survival of RANK + T cells, and to regulate T-cell-dependent immune response. RANKL, which is expressed in a variety of cells including osteoblasts, fibroblasts, activated T-cells and bone marrow stromal cells, is also capable of interacting with a decoy receptor called OPG. Binding of soluble OPG to sRANKL inhibits osteoclastogenesis by interrupting the signaling between stromal cells and osteoclastic progenitor cells, thereby leading to excess accumulation of bone and cartilage.
E.coli derived Recombinant Murine sRANKL
Concentration of antibody:
Formulation of this antibody:
A sterile filtered antibody solution in PBS, pH 7.2.
This antibody has been succesfully tested for use in following methods:
Western blot, ELISA, Neutralization
1) WB: Use 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. The detection limit for recombinant murine sRANKL is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.2) ELISA: Use 0.5 - 2.0 μg/ml (100 μl/well antibody solution) 3) Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of msRANKL (50.0 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.05 μg/ml of this antibody is required.
This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.FAS ligand and other ligands are binding to the receptor for signaling pathways for example in apoptosis or JNK signaling. Receptor agonists are often tested for drug development.
If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.

If I leave my writing for one day, it leaves me for three. ~Madeleine L’Engle
The creative process is a process of surrender, not control. ~Julia Cameron
Despite Julia Cameron’s words, I have decided to participate in the somewhat controlled Creative Every Day Challenge for 2009. Within this very loose framework (the creator gives full permission to participate stress-free–that is, however and whenever you like), I hope to enter that process of creative surrender more often in the coming year.
My first act in the CED challenge will be to create a list on this blog of as many possible creative activities I can think of that I might like to try this year. I hope you’ll add your creative ideas to the list when it’s posted in early January.
In addition, I’ve signed up for The Power of Less New Year’s Challenge at Zen Habits. This requires a pledge to practice something, anything, but only one thing, 10 minutes a day for 30 days. I figure surely I can work in 10 minutes of yoga every single day during January. Don’tcha think?
So rather than resolutions for the new year, I am giving myself two challenges. No one has asked, but I’ll confess to having fallen off the strength training wagon I committed to here. It seems like a great program, but it’s just not right for me, I discovered. So I am going to call that not failure, but learning!
Will you set challenges for yourself in 2009?


Janesville woman injured, arrested after incident
Alexandria A. Thompson, 21, of Janesville was found by police at 6:51 p.m. Wednesday lying in the road near the northwest driveway of the apartment complex in the 2600 block of North Lexington Drive, according to a police report.
Thompson and her boyfriend, Alvin Jones of Freeport, Ill., had been arguing in Thompson's apartment before the incident. Jones asked his friend Mark Brown to give him a ride because he wanted to leave so the two would stop arguing, the report said.
When Brown was driving his vehicle out of the parking lot, Thompson ran after it and grabbed onto it. When Brown thought she had let go, he turned out of the lot, then saw Thompson "flying into the road" and lying face down near the driveway exit, the report said.
The two men immediately turned around and returned to the parking lot to check on Thompson. A Janesville Fire Department ambulance transported her to Mercy Hospital, where she was treated for a broken femur, a fracture of her left foot and road rash to her abdomen, the report said.
Thompson was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, according to police.

Two persons were killed, while the body of a teenager was fished out from a pond, as stray incidents of violence, booth jamming and rigging were reported during the third phase of the panchayat elections in West Bengal on Friday which saw a turnout of around 75 per cent.
State Election Commission sources said that there was around 75 per cent turnout in the three districts of South 24 Parganas, North 24 Parganas and Howrah.
Trinamool Congress supporter Sanat Ghosh was shot dead in at Morapai under Usti police station in South 24 Parganas, Superintendent of Police Pravin Tripathi told PTI.
A 65-year-old man, Motherbux Mullick was fatally injured in a bomb explosion in Bodai gram panchayat under Amdanga police in North 24 Parganas district and died in Barasat hospital, Superintendent of Police Sugata Sen said.
The CPI-M claimed that Mullick was a party supporter.
At Ghutiarishariff in South 24 Parganas, the body of 16-year-old Somnath Mukhopadhay with wounds was recovered from a pond, Additional SP K Barui said.
He, however, said that it could be the result of personal rivalry and not related to the elections.
Notwithstanding the incidents of violence, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed at an election rally at Rampurhat in Birbhum district that the third phase of elections was peaceful, even though an 'alienated' CPI-M was crying hoarse about terror.
Alleging that the CPI-M had conspired to stall the elections, Banerjee said, "When their plan fizzled out they are shouting about terror. People are not with them."
On allegations of improper deployment of central forces for the polls, Governor M K Narayanan said, "Centre has given the forces. They are quite generous. It is quite important to ensure safety and security of the people and instill a sense of confidence. I hope the forces will be deployed.
"The first phase was well, the second was not so well," he said.
On the ongoing third and the next two phases he said, "Let us see."
In the second phase of the elections three persons had been killed in Burdwan district.
The CPI-M, which had threatened to organise sit-in demonstrations and road blockades if violence occurred in rural Bengal, blocked roads at various places in and around the metropolis.
"In several areas, the people are not allowed to vote freely. Hundreds of Trinamool Congress goons have come from East Midnapore district and are now on the roads of North and South 24-Pargans district to stop people from voting," alleged Nepal Deb Bhattacharjee, CPI-M state committee member.
CPI-M supporters blocked important roads in Naihati, Shyamnagar and B T Road crossing.
Reports from North 24 Parganas district said the CPI-M organised road blockades at BT Road in Sodepur and Ghorpara Road in Naihati alleging that the Panchayat elections are not being held in a free and fair manner.
Party activists also stopped local trains at Shyamnagar railway station.

School has started, we’re back to the routine a schedule provides with afterschool activities and homework. Somewhere I have to find the time for my meal planning and preparation. I am always searching for ways to increase the efficiency of my kitchen. One thing I’ve come to rely on more and more is my slow cooker. I used to think that the only thing my slow cooker was good for was a chuck roast or a boston butt. And don’t get me wrong – I threw a lamb shoulder in there the other day and my family was in heaven! But, I don’t like to serve meat at every meal. Meal planning and having a well-stocked fridge and pantry is my key to making sure that I can make great meatless meals throughout the week. My slow cooker is my full time chef here – I use it almost every day. Here are the top 5 things I cook in my slow cooker ahead of time for the week ahead.
Just soak overnight and drain. Put into crockpot and cover with vegetable broth by about 2 inches. Cook on low 5 – 6 hours. Beans freeze great! I usually put half in my fridge for the week ahead and freeze the other half. To freeze, divide cooled beans into 2 cup portions. Cover with liquid and freeze up to 3 months.
I find potatoes to be oh so versatile. My kids love crispy baked potatoes, potato skins and potato soup. I love to put some diced potato with chickpeas, apples and balsamic vinegar for a quick salad. Having baked potatoes on hand is a must in our house. Wash potatoes and prick with fork. Place into slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours. This will work with 2 potatoes or more. I usually cook about 6-8 medium sized russet potatoes at a time.
3. Sweet Potatoes
This is my favorite thing to cook in my slow cooker. Slowly cooking sweet potatoes turn them in to this creamy sweet sinful vegetable that needs nothing else to be delicious. Wash potatoes and put directly into slow cooker still wet. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. I generally cook 4 sweet potatoes at a time.
4. Caramelized Onions
There is something about caramelized onions that my family loves. They are sweet, savory and work great in so many applications – tacos, quesadillas, quiche, topping on vegetable panini, salads, etc. They also freeze really well so I can do one big batch a month and have caramelized onions always on hand. Take 3 – 4 pounds yellow onions, thinly slice and place in crock. Drizzle with olive oil and salt, mix well. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours. To freeze, portion cooled onions in ½ cup – 1 cup portions and freeze up to 3 months.
I happen to be a fan of beets, but they are generally take a bit of time to prepare. So I have to think ahead if I plan to use them during the week. To roast beets in the slow cooker, all you need to do is wash and trim the beets. Rub with olive oil and place individually into foil and wrap tightly. Place in slow cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours or until tender. Cool and remove skin.
6. Wheat Berries and other grains
I love to keep cooked grains like wheat berries and quinoa in the fridge. I can use them for a quick porridge breakfast, a salad at lunch or a quick stir-fry for dinner. Quinoa is easy – it only takes 20 minutes to cook so I can do that one evening while I am cooking dinner. But wheat berries take a bit longer, so I use my slow cooker for these. To cook, take 1 cup wheat berries and 2 cups water or broth. Cook on low for 8 – 10 hours.

Published: Monday, May. 3rd, 2021
If you’re planning a May Day wedding, or any outdoor wedding celebration that promises clear skies and sunshine, why not plan a maypole dance? This spring tradition has been embraced for centuries as a way to celebrate new beginnings and the promise of a successful and joyous future.
The exact origin of the maypole is hard to nail down, but the tradition may have started as part of a Pagan fire festival called Beltane, celebrated in the British Isles by ancient Druids. But Beltane and its Germanic counterpart, May Day, and a third holiday that resulted from an early Christian merging of the first two, called Walpurgis Night, all share similar rituals, including bonfires, feasts, and (yep!) maypoles.
In ancient days, townsfolk cut down a tall tree and stuck it in the ground to represent a mighty phallus, and danced around it as part of a fertility ritual to mark the start of planting season and a wish for fertile fields and the birth of many children.
These days, modern Pagans, Medieval and Renaissance enthusiasts, and those with Gaelic and Celtic roots still dance to celebrate nature’s abundance. But the meaning of the maypole dance has broadened, appealing to people from every walk of life.
Now, these dances are a festive and unique way to celebrate friendship, hope, imagination, love, joyful commitment, and the weaving of two families or communities together as one.
As you dance, the ribbons will form a cheerful woven pattern.
To stick closest to tradition, you’ll need to find a wooden pole to use -- something that comes from the earth. But if you’re not able to find one, build one! These linked instructions will guide you through constructing the pole itself, cutting the ribbon, and putting it all together.
You’ll need plenty of room for dancing in a wide circle! The more people you invite, the more space you’ll need (and the taller your pole will need to be). A park with an open field or a very large yard will work.
If you want your wedding celebration to have a spiritual ‘feel,’ you’ll want to bless the space. To follow Pagan tradition, ask a local priest or priestess for a blessing, or you can do it yourself with your guests as part of your celebration.
You’ll need to learn a maypole dance, of course. Generally speaking, you’ll divide your friends and family into two groups and have everyone dance in a specific pattern -- something in the over - under - over - under variety -- as they circle the pole. If you’re not too picky about how the ribbons look on the finished pole, you won’t need to worry as much about planning and rehearsing the dance itself. For an example of this dance, watch the video linked below or do a quick internet search (you’ll find lots of wonderful examples).
Plan a feast and some well-earned relaxation for guests when the dancing is through. Celebrating the start of a marriage, the coming of summer, and all of the earth’s abundance works up an appetite!
Maypoles were once considered scandalous because of their Pagan origins and connection to fertility and sexuality. Puritans even went as far as to ban maypoles in England in 1644, but they made a comeback in 1660 following the Restoration.
You can usually find maypoles at Renaissance fairs, Neo-Pagan festivals, May Day celebrations throughout Europe and the United States, and, of course, weddings!
An example of a complex maypole dance from The School in Rose Valley in Pennsylvania.
Don't worry, yours can be as simple or complex as you want it to be!

As time passes, people often remember the gist of an event though they cannot remember its details. Can rememberers exploit this difference by strategically regulating the "grain size" of their answers over time, to avoid reporting wrong information? A metacognitive model of the control of grain size in memory reporting was examined in two experiments, in which memory for quantitative information contained in a fictitious eyewitness transcript was tested either immediately, or after 1 day or 1 week. Given control over the grain size of their answers, participants' report accuracy still declined with delayed testing, but at a slower rate than when forced to provide only precise answers, remaining stable between the 1-day and 1-week tests. The observed pattern of change and stability in chosen-grain report accuracy was traced to the use of a stable control policy in the face of less effective monitoring judgments at delayed testing.

- Polygon Labs has revamped its executive structure.
- As part of recent changes, it has created the role of Chief Executive Officer.
- This article takes a deep dive into the CEO’s background.
With Polygon Labs President Ryan Wyatt stepping down at the end of July to take up an advisory role, Chief Legal Officer Marc Boiron is set to step up, but not as president. Boiron will notably be occupying the newly created role of Chief Executive Officer just 11 months after joining the firm.
In this article, we look at Boiron’s background and the responsibilities of his new role.
Who Is Marc Boiron?
Boiron holds a bachelor’s in business administration from Middle Tennessee State University and a Juris Doctor and master’s in business administration with a focus on Finance from Penn State Law, per his LinkedIn.
Boasting about 13 years of work experience, the Polygon Labs CEO has worked for several reputable law firms, including Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, where he advised several companies on blockchain technology and securities.
Before joining Polygon in August 2022, Boiron notably served nearly two years as Chief Legal Officer for dYdX.
As Polygon Labs CEO, Boiron is expected to lead the firm’s engineering and business teams while reporting directly to the founders.
Sandeep Nailwal, one of Polygon’s founders, described Boiron as “a highly regarded Web3 veteran and innovator with a super deep understanding of Web3 tech.”
As part of the recent reorganization, Naiwal is notably assuming the role of executive chairman. He noted that he would be working closely with the new CEO to shape day-to-day activities at the firm.
On the Flipside
- The SEC labeled Polygon’s MATIC as an unregistered security in lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase.
- Polygon Labs laid off 20% of its staff in February.
Why This Matters
Polygon Labs is the primary developer of the Polygon network. Boiron’s leadership could significantly affect the direction the network takes in the future.

Bookkeeper insurance, also known as Professional Indemnity insurance, protects bookkeepers from financial losses arising from client claims due to errors or omissions in their work. It can cover legal fees, damages, and other costs of defending claims.
Bookkeeping is an important aspect of any business, and bookkeepers play a critical role in managing a company’s financial records. However, errors or omissions in bookkeeping can lead to serious financial consequences for both the bookkeeper and the company they work for. That’s where bookkeeper insurance comes in.

If you’re looking for answers on drive pulleys of toys and games, look no further! This article provides 10 FAQs that will give you everything you need to know.
How are drive pulleys used in toys and games
There are many different types of drive pulleys, each with its own specific purpose. The most common type of drive pulley is the V-belt pulley, which is used to drive a variety of mechanical devices including toys and games.
V-belt pulleys are composed of two V-shaped grooves that run along the inner surface of the pulley. These grooves grip the V-shaped belt, which in turn transfers power from the pulley to the device being driven. V-belt pulleys are available in a wide range of sizes, so it is important to choose the correct size pulley for the job at hand.
Another type of drive pulley is the timing belt pulley, which is used to synchronize the rotation of two or more shafts. Timing belt pulleys are similar to V-belt pulleys, but they have teeth on the inner surface that mesh with the teeth on the timing belt. This ensures that the shafts rotate at the same speed, which is critical for many applications such as automotive engines.
Drive pulleys are an essential part of many toys and games, and they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. By selecting the correct size and type of drive pulley for the job, you can ensure that your toy or game will operate smoothly and efficiently.
What are some common types of drive pulleys used in toys and games
There are many types of drive pulleys used in toys and games, but some of the most common are V-belt, flat belt, and timing belt pulleys. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose the right one for your application.
V-belt pulleys are the most common type used in toys and games. They’re very strong and durable, so they can withstand a lot of wear and tear. However, they’re also relatively expensive.
Flat belt pulleys are a cheaper alternative to V-belt pulleys. They’re not as strong or durable, but they’re much less expensive.
Timing belt pulleys are the strongest and most durable type of drive pulley. They’re also the most expensive.
How do drive pulleys work in toys and games
There are many different types of drive pulleys, but they all work in a similar way. A drive pulley is typically a round, cylindrical piece of metal or plastic with a groove running around its circumference. This groove is used to hold a rope, belt, or chain in place. The rope, belt, or chain is then used to transfer power from the drive pulley to another pulley or gear.
Drive pulleys are often used in toys and games because they are very efficient at transferring power. For example, a drive pulley can be used to turn a wheel. The grooves on the drive pulley help to keep the rope, belt, or chain in place as it transfers power to the wheel. This helps to ensure that the wheel turns smoothly and evenly.
Drive pulleys are also often used in mechanical systems such as conveyor belts and escalators. In these systems, the drive pulley is used to move a belt or chain. The belt or chain then moves objects along the system. Drive pulleys are very efficient at moving belts and chains because they can grip the belt or chain tightly. This helps to prevent the belt or chain from slipping.
What are the benefits of using drive pulleys in toys and games
There are many benefits of using drive pulleys in toys and games. One benefit is that they can help to increase the speed of the toy or game. Another benefit is that they can help to make the toy or game more durable. Additionally, drive pulleys can help to make the toy or game more challenging, which can be great for kids who want a little extra challenge. Finally, drive pulleys can also help to save space in the toy or game, which can be beneficial if you’re trying to conserve space.
Are there any disadvantages to using drive pulleys in toys and games
There are several disadvantages to using drive pulleys in toys and games:
1. They can be noisy.
2. They can wear down quickly.
3. They can be difficult to replace.
4. They can add unnecessary complexity to a toy or game.
How can drive pulleys be used to improve the performance of toys and games
There are many ways to use drive pulleys to improve the performance of toys and games. One way is to use them to increase the speed of the toy or game. Another way is to use them to create a more realistic motion.
What are some common problems that can occur with drive pulleys in toys and games
There are a few common problems that can occur with drive pulleys in toys and games. One is that the drive pulley can become detached from the shaft. Another is that the bearings in the drive pulley can wear out, causing the pulley to become noisy or even seize up. Finally, the set screws that hold the pulley onto the shaft can loosen, allowing the pulley to spin freely on the shaft.
How can drive pulleys be maintained to prevent problems in toys and games
There are a few things that can be done to maintain drive pulleys and prevent problems in toys and games. First, make sure that the pulleys are clean and free of debris. Second, check the bearings and make sure that they are properly lubricated. Third, inspect the belts for wear and tear and replace them if necessary. Fourth, make sure that the pulleys are properly aligned. Fifth, tighten any loose bolts or screws. Following these simple maintenance tips will help ensure that your toys and games operate smoothly and reliably.
What should be done if a problem does occur with a drive pulley in a toy or game
If a problem does occur with a drive pulley in a toy or game, the best course of action is to take the toy or game to a qualified repair person. Do not attempt to fix the problem yourself, as you could potentially do more damage to the toy or game.
Are there any special considerations that need to be made when using drive pulleys in toys and games
There are a few things to keep in mind when using drive pulleys in toys and games. First, the size of the pulley needs to be appropriate for the toy or game. Second, the material the pulley is made from needs to be compatible with the other materials in the toy or game. Third, the drive pulley needs to be properly secured so that it does not come loose and cause injury.

Stormwater storage tank (SST) is a popular low impact development technology for reducing stormwater runoff in the construction of sponge city. At present, it is difficult to perform the automatic control of SST for reducing peak flow. In this paper, fuzzy control was introduced into the peak control of SST to improve the efficiency of reducing stormwater runoff. Firstly, the design of SST was investigated. A catchment area and a return period were assumed, a SST model was manufactured, and then the storage capacity of the SST was verified. Secondly, the control parameters of the SST based on reducing stormwater runoff were analyzed, and a schematic diagram of real-time control (RTC) system based on peak control SST was established. Finally, fuzzy control system of a double input (flow and water level) and double output (inlet and outlet valve) was designed. The results showed that 1) under the different return periods (one year, three years, five years), the SST had the effect of delayed peak control and storage by increasing the detention time, 2) rainfall, pipeline flow, the influent time and the water level in the SST could be used as RTC parameters, and 3) the response curves of flow velocity and water level fluctuated very little and reached equilibrium in a short time. The combination of online monitoring and fuzzy control was feasible to control the SST automatically. This paper provides a theoretical reference for reducing stormwater runoff and improving the operation efficiency of SST.

Heart condition blamed for Villages traffic death
Published: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 9:20 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 9:20 a.m.
THE VILLAGES - A heart condition caused the traffic-related death for a 69-year-old woman in The Villages on March 12.
A doctor for the Fifth District Medical Examiner's Office concluded that Jan T. Firmery, of The Villages, died from coronary atherosclerosis, according to Florida Highway Patrol officials. During troopers' initial investigation, they learned that Firmery had an existing heart condition.
Another woman told troopers that she was walking south on a golf cart path on Buena Vistas Boulevard and saw the 2000 Infiniti Firmery was driving. It was heading north and weaving all over the roadway at a slow speed. The woman said that, before the crash, the car accelerated, left the roadway and struck a signpost.
The witness said Firmery was slumped over prior to impact. After the car hit the sign, the car re-entered the roadway and then swerved back onto the grass and continued a short distance before stopping.
The witness said she and a man were able to stop the car and turn the engine off. The woman said she performed CPR and Firmery was grasping for air. Rescue officials arrived and transported Firmery to a hospital in Leesburg, where she died.
The accident occurred at 8 a.m. March 12.

Dragons walk the earth. Komodo dragons, that is. Thought to be the source behind the fire-breathing mythical creatures, Komodo dragons are the world’s largest lizards. They’re ancient reptile species with ancestry that dates back more than 100 million years. Unknown to western scientists till 1912, they were discovered by scientists following rumors of large, dragon-like lizards in the lesser Sunda islands. They’re found in a limited range of around 1000 kilometres, encompassing the Komodo National Park and the islands of Flores. The Komodo national park includes the islands – Komodo, Rinca, Gili Montang, Gili Dasami. In fact, Komodo dragons have the smallest home range of any large predator in the world!
Physical Features and Characteristics
Komodo dragons are large, heavy lizards, with toughened skin that protects them from bites and scratches. A full grown adult maybe around 9 ft long and weigh around 70 -90 kg although, captive dragons have been found to be heavier. The heaviest recorded specimen was 10 ft long and weighed 136 kg! They range from black to yellow-gray in color, depending on their location.
Komodo dragons have muscular tails almost as long as their bodies and long, powerful claws. They also have shark-like teeth and long, yellow, forked tongues that are chock full of deadly bacteria.
Komodo dragons also have 60 shark-like teeth that they use to tear apart their victims. Each of these teeth is around 2.5 inch long and are frequently replaced.
Heavy though they are, they’re also incredibly fast and can run at a speed of 11 mph!
Komodo Dragon Habitat
Komodo dragons are interesting creatures, who like hot and humid weather. They sometimes dig burrows to sleep in at night, but they aren’t very territorial about their burrows – they have been known to sleep in burrows dug by other lizards. In fact, some of them even prefer abandoned human dwellings on the islands!
Komodo dragons grow throughout their lifespan, which can be up to 30 years. They have a fairly easy-going lifestyle, with loads of sun-basking and naps thrown in.
Komodo dragons are also cannibalistic, which is why baby dragons quickly scurry off to live in trees, where the adults can’t reach them. They only come down when they’re around 4 years old, by which time they’re around 4 ft long.
What does the Komodo Dragon like to eat?
They are carnivores, and although their primary prey is the Timor deer, they also eat any other meat they get.
Komodo dragons employ ambush tactics for their agile prey, and also use their forked tongues to track their prey. The saliva of Komodo dragons contains over 50 strains of bacteria that makes it a lethal weapon in itself. They use it to weaken prey that is too strong for a dragon to overpower in direct combat. Quite often, a dragon marks its prey with its saliva, and calmly tracks it, while waiting for it to die.
The younger dragons while living on trees eat whatever fits into their mouth, such as grasshoppers, birds, and other lizards.
Are Komodo Dragons endangered?
The population of Komodo dragons has been more or less stable on the islands, that is around 3000-5000. However, in recent times, illegal hunting and poaching, human encroachment and natural disasters have driven the species to endangerment.
Komodo Dragon Fact
It is thought that the legend of fire-breathing dragons was inspired by the forked yellow tongues of the Komodo dragons.

Real Steel facts:
The SG 550 family is a gun manufactured by firearms maker Swiss Arms a former division of Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft. The SG 553 is an improved version of the SG 552 and was released in 2008. Even though it mostly resembles the SG 552, the SG 553 has one key advantage, the recoil spring is now wrapped around the piston rod like in the SG 550/551 models, which address several reliability issues encountered in the SG 552 and also allows the usage of the standard SG 550/551 charging handle. The SG 553 series rifles have a 339 mm (13.3 in) long sight radius. A long barrel version of the SG 553 known as the SG 553 LB incorporates a 347 mm (13.7 in) barrel with provision to fire rifle grenades and support a bayonet. Further factory options for the SG 553 rifle series are an integrated receiver Picatinny rail and an adjustable butt stock.

Becker Chicaiza, owner of Becker Salon at 268 Mason Street in Greenwich, Conn, was recently invited to Barcelona, along with 70 top international hairdressers, to participate in L’Oréal Professionnel’s World Tour to train with award-winning professionals and learn new creative concepts and trends in color and styling.
The week-long program, Sept. 8 – 15, took place at the L’Oréal Academy in Barcelona and featured prominent educator and 40-year veteran in the industry, Trevor Sorbie, one of the most respected names in hairdressing who is known for creating such trend-setting styles as the Wedge and the Scrunch.
Chicaiza made arrangements for Becker Salon staff member Lucas Magnum to join him on the trip and take part in this hands-on interactive experience that covered new trends in shorter haircuts, innovative two-tone coloring and intricate updos for weddings and high fashion runways. The pair worked with international models and met inspirational professionals who are likely to make a guest appearance at Becker Salon in the near future. Becker Salon was the only salon from Greenwich and one of only several from the New York region to attend.
“It was very inspirational for us to be part of this incredible program,” said Chicaiza. “We like to be in the forefront of the latest in styles and trends and we’re excited to bring new techniques to Greenwich.” Chicaiza and Magnum are conducting training for the Becker Salon staff in their newly learned methods.
Becker Salon, which celebrated its fifth anniversary last year, has cultivated a large following in and around Greenwich. Chicaiza and his staff carefully adhere to their mission, which is to highlight the beauty of everyone who enters the salon with the magic touch of their hands.

Drone-Striker-In-Chief Barack Obama is taking a trip to Colorado to exploit the Dark Knight tragedy.
I can't help but laugh at the idea a man who kills as many people as James Holmes did in "the worst shooting in US history" every week by drone strikes and overseas wars is now going to the scene of another slaughter to "console" the victims. Funny, I've never seen him fly to Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, nor Iraq, to console any of his victims.
Interesting how that works, isn't it?
Perhaps while he is there he could give James Holmes his Nobel Peace Prize.
Update: I just remembered, the 16-year-old U.S. citizen Obama murdered in a drone strike (along with other members of his family), Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, was from Colorado.

Hope everyone is doing well. I had a busy weekend. I was supposed to be off on Friday, but wound up working for about 2 hours! (ugh) After that we took the two of the boys blueberry picking. When we got to the house, it was owned by a unique lady! She told us there was not many blueberries left, but go ahead and pick away. (it's the end of the season) Well, the four of us grab some buckets and were off to pick. Her yard was huge, rows and rows and rows of blueberry bushes. She also had some fruit trees and still had room to spare.
Since, I got called to work we started late, I'd say we were there by 11 or so, and stayed about an hour, it was hot or we would have stayed a little longer. We picked 2.5 lbs of them. Total cost 2.25...Can you believe that??? I paid 4 bucks for a small quart the other day. I will know now to go early in the season and pick enough to freeze. They are organic and lovely.
My husband, even had a nice time. (WOW) Here is a pic of each of the boys.!
