I suppose it’s the artist and designer in me that looks for the flaws. What could we have done better? Does that look like what we envisioned? Our team of students from Salem College and Forsyth Tech Architecture built a great stage set for TEDxWakeForestU 2016, but I found myself still critiquing our work during the show.
I have to admit, during the show I did see things that could have been better, but I didn’t let that get in the way of the pride I felt in being part of such a great team. As I spoke to people during the intermissions of the day I discovered that our original design intentions were translated effectively through the implementation of the design. Some people asked me how we got those images to float on stage, and commented on the depth of the imagery. I know the kind of people that show up at a TEDx conference are typically friendly and courteous, but I also believe that all of the positive comments were genuine.
For me the best part of the opportunity to put together a team of talented design students for this project is experiencing the creative process. By the time we have the set built I have lost interest and am looking for the next project. I love being a part of a design team, and witnessing the magic that happens when we work together and ideate together; to create something that would not exist without the collaborative thought process.
I want to take a moment to say thank you to all my fellow TEDx designers.
Molly Blanchard – Your artistic talent shows through in your work. You have a great eye for color and design, and a steady hand. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be a part of this team.
Amy Norman – You are a natural leader and someone I know I can count on in a pinch. Thank you for taking over creating the fabric panels and selecting all of the images for the set.
Denton Hinshaw – Your can-do attitude when we were building the set made it so much easier for all of us. Thank you for all your efforts in sourcing materials, and being a major contributor to the project.
Kameron Dozier – You and I disagreed at one point during the day when we were putting the set together. I appreciate the way you stood your ground and made a valid argument for your point of view (you know what I’m talking about). You were right, and the set turned out great using what we had to work with. Thank you for your patience and persistence in printing all those images.
Jake Denton – You put in a lot of hours, and a lot of heart. I know I can count on you to come through when we need someone to step up. Thank you for using your construction expertise to help make the set come together so easy.
To all my teammates – I hope you had fun on this project. I enjoyed developing the concept with all of you, and I like the fact that we all had a role in developing the final concept. It’s difficult for me to remember all of the events during the process, but it’s easy for me to remember how great it is to work with all of you. I hope you had fun, learned something, and will take what you learned from this experience and do more even greater things in the future. I don’t know how many of you heard Andy Chan, Vice President for Personal and Career Development for WFU, mention Wake Forest “breaking the bubble” that surrounds their campus, but he made it a point to refer to the newspaper article about our team when he spoke of breaking that bubble. Your efforts to be a part of this event go much farther than you may realize.
Each year there is a new TEDx executive committee, and typically the leaders were a part of last year’s team. I hope that the next TEDxWakeForestU team sees the value in partnering with other schools to put on a great show and put up a great set. Maybe one of you will lead next year’s design team.

The late Tammi Terrell was beautiful, talented and died way too young (24). I always thought that she would have been a perfect replacement for Diana Ross in The Supremes. Unfortunately she in 1970 and Marvin Gaye would never be the same after losing his dear friend.
So here's to Tammi Terrell and the superstar she could have been. This is just a killer track! Delivered in such a sexy yet innocent way that only Tammi could do.

In 2008, Entertainment Weekly conducted an online poll of the 25 most controversial movies of all time, and Natural Born Killers ended up at number eight. Copycat killers linked to Natural Born Killers surfaced, even leading to a lawsuit against director Oliver Stone and Time Warner. Natural Born Killers seeks to expose the sadistic nature of media by glorifying two pitiless murders, Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory (Juliette Lewis). The provocative film will be re-released on DVD tomorrow.

Iceland has quite a few hidden gems should one be inclined to take the trouble to visit remote places. It is far more convenient to visit Southern Iceland known for some of the most charming attractions and it is no wonder that these destinations have come to be known as the Golden Circle.
While one can hire a car and drive it is only for the intrepid few. Most tourists are better off joining a Golden Circle tour organized by local tour experts in Iceland. The tour usually starts at Reykjavik and takes tourists aboard a mini bus or in a 4x4 jeep across 300 kilometers. The round trip usually lasts 9 hours and takes tourists to Urridafoss, Crater Kerid, Waterfall Faxi, Guilfoss Falls, Thingvellir National Park, Pseudocraters Rautholar and Black Sands in what will be a memorable Iceland Golden Circle tour experience.
Do not forget to carry a camera along with you. The Thingvellir National Park, besides being of historical importance, is a place of beauty as well. It lies in a beautiful rift valley set against a backdrop of cloud covered mountains. It is the perfect place to capture some scenic shots as is the Gullfoss or Golden Falls located in the canyon of the Hvita River. The sight is simply unforgettable and it could look better in video than as a still image. Proceed to Haukadalur, home of the geysors Strokkur and Geysir and you cannot fail to be impressed by the sight. The Strokkur erupts every 5 to 10 minutes and it is a sight worth recording in video or in stills.
Ride a snowmobile
There is more in store for photo enthusiasts in the form of Glacier Langjokull. The bus or jeep stops here so you might as well enjoy an optional exhilarating snowmobile ride or just photograph others doing so.
Geothermal power plants
Iceland is where tectonic plates of two continents meet and you might get a glimpse. Make the effort. It is worth it. The natural geologic formation has blessed Iceland with ample geothermal energy that is exploited in its Hellisheidi power station and the Nesjavellir geothermal power station. Your tour will include a beach and you are likely to find icebergs floating in the sea. Climb aboard one and tumble around in the surf. Where else but in Iceland can you do this?
Eat Iceland Foods
Iceland does have its share of typical food that may seem a bit strange to others such as whale meat eaten raw and fermented shark but do not fear. Your coach will probably stop at some nice place where there are restaurants serving traditional Iceland dishes like fish and meat soup, pate, leaf bread, salted fish and Brennivin liquor made from potato. Those who are bolder can try sour ram's testicles and smoked meat. While in Iceland and enjoying the best Golden Circle tour in Iceland, try to sample local foods. You have an abundance of fish food and meats in addition to fruits and vegetables.
Talk with the people
You will be covering about 300 kilometers and it is likely there will be local people at each stop. Try talking to them. Though most may not speak English, it is an adventure conversing in sign language. You may, however, come across some who do speak English. In any case, you will discover how warm hearted and open they are.
I am an enthusiast, blogger, and article writer who has gone around the world twice. I have done a considerable amount of travel wondering the roads and towns in the magnificent lands and struck out on new adventures to countries I had not seen before. I love sharing the practical knowledge gained while travelling solo through my writings.

Qualcomm has actually revealed all the information of its following front runner chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with a concentrate on much better and also extra reliable efficiency for AI-related jobs. That prolongs from its upgraded AI-centric Hexagon cpu to smarter photo handling and also a brand-new modem made to wring the very best efficiency out of 5G networks. It additionally sustains Wi-Fi 7 due to the fact that the numbers simply maintain rising.
Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the Gen 2’s Kryo CPU consists of one prime core based upon Arm Cortex- X3 at 3.2 GHz. There are additionally 4 efficiency cores (another than in 2014) at 2.8 GHz and also 3 performance cores at 2.0 GHz– all in between 200 and also 300MHz faster than in 2014’s equipment. Qualcomm states the CPU is 35 percent quicker than the previous generation, with 40 percent power cost savings. Likewise, the Adreno GPU depends on 25 percent quicker with 45 percent much better power performance. The entire chip is improved a 4nm procedure, like the Gen 1.
Qualcomm states it has actually made renovations all throughout the Hexagon cpu for approximately 4.35 x faster AI efficiency. Qualcomm additionally declares it has the ability to take care of extra complicated jobs, like equating a language right into numerous languages in actual time.
The “always-on” cam attribute has actually been relabelled to a much less weird “always sensing”
Just when we were beginning to hop on board with Wi-Fi 6, Qualcomm has actually leapfrogged in advance and also included Wi-Fi 7– the 8 Gen 2 is the very first system on a chip to sustain it. The Snapdragon X70 modem revealed at Mobile World Congress previously this year gets on board, as well, with its very own AI cpu to aid increase 5G insurance coverage and also rate. The X70 additionally makes it possible for twin energetic 5G SIMs, suggesting you can utilize 2 various 5G networks at the same time. More bars in even more areas without a doubt.
On the audio side, there’s currently sustain for vibrant spatial sound, so audio steps with you as you relocate your head with suitable earbuds. It’s a brand-new enhancement to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Sound system however something currently supplied by the sort of LG, Samsung, and alsoApple You’ll likely require suitable earphones to do the head-tracking component. For video gaming, the chipset currently sustains hardware-based real-time ray mapping for even more reasonable light and also representations; firms consisting of Oppo and also Asus will certainly sustain it in upcoming tools.
The business’s Spectra Image Signal Processor currently has a “Cognitive ISP” tag, with the capacity to utilize real-time semantic division for pictures and also video clips. This aids the imaging system determine various kinds of topics in a photo and also use proper photo adjusting. In concept, it aids the cam compare points like faces, hair, and also skies and also make shade modifications per separately as the photo is caught. This can make it simpler to forecast what a last photo will certainly appear like in the viewfinder as you’re taking it– prior to software program photo handling does its point. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is additionally tuned to sustain brand-new photo sensing units from Sony and also Samsung, both firms that make primarily every mobile phone cam sensing unit.
Curiously, the 8 Gen 2 sustains 8K video clip capture and also playback, however on-device and also exterior display screen assistance peaks at 4K, so … best of luck enjoying your 8K video.
The “always-on” cam attribute presented with the Gen 1 has actually been relabelled to a much less weird “always sensing,” and also it sustains points like immediately concealing alerts when it finds somebody else checking out your phone display.
There’s currently sustain for vibrant spatial sound, so audio steps with you as you relocate your head
Qualcomm’s listing of companions for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 consists of the typical suspects like Motorola, Oppo, and also Asus’ Republic of Gamers brand name, though Samsung is notably missing out on from the listing. It’s unclear whether upcoming S23 flagships will certainly consist of the 8 Gen 2 around the world as very early reports show or whether Samsung will certainly maintain utilizing its very own Exynos chipset in versions marketed outside of the US. In any type of situation, we will not need to wait till the S23 gets here to take a look at Qualcomm’s newest– the business states its brand-new chipset will certainly begin showing up in tools prior to completion of 2022.

African Actions DBQ
During the late 1800s, Africa was put under immense pressure by the European powers as they scrambled to take over African territory. They were shoved into a corner and had limited options of getting out. One thing they refused to do was give in to the elites that were trying to overcome them. Africa as a whole reacted in three ways; diplomatically- as in respectively declining the Europeans offer and not giving up their land, violently- by fighting with what little firearms they had against the extremely advanced guns their opponents had, and in desperation- seeing no other option and no better way to get out so reacting in ways that were unexpected like women fighting and believing in a saving spirit that could protect them. These tactics worked for some African nations better than others, but in most cases the nation was still taken over in the end.
At the beginning of Europeans scramble for Africa, the chiefs of the different African nations felt that they could solve this whole situation diplomatically. Europe tried to just take over the African government easily and painlessly, but the African nations refused to just let them take over. The British government tried to administer a standardized form to all areas around the Niger River and for the Royal Niger Company. This form would ensure that Europe would have control of the lower Niger River. The form stated that “the Royal Niger Company bind themselves not to interfere with any of the native laws or customs of the country” (1). They say that they will stay out of all African affairs but they really did not. Because of this, an Ashanti leader responded by saying “I am pleased to announce that we have arrived at the conclusion that my kingdom of Ashanti will never commit itself to any such policy” (2). The Ashanti nation wants to stay friendly with the British, but they don’t want to be controlled by them. The Ethiopian nation responded very similarly and said, “Since the...

Electron-regulated flux towards biogas upgradation – triggering catabolism for an augmented methanogenic activity
Electromethanogenesis (EM) process was specifically designed to increase the conversion efficiency of organic substrates towards methane production and was further evaluated towards biogas upgradation applications. Four single-chambered EM systems were operated using designed synthetic wastewater (carbon source: 10 g L−1) to comparatively analyze the effect of applied voltage (AV −0.8 V; CC 100 Ω) and electrode placement on methanogenesis. The experiments were performed in three phases: the biomethanation phase (BM) (without electrodes assembly), electrode phase (MESOC; with electrodes assembly in an open circuit operation) and EM phase (MESCC/AV; electrodes assembly in a closed circuit or applied voltage operation). Electrode placement with a submerged anode and variations in the position of the cathode [partially air-exposed cathode; AV (R1/MESAV) and CC (R2/MESCC)] and completely submerged cathode [AV (R3/IE-MESAV) and CC (R4/IE-MESCC)] were evaluated. The results for the EM phase showed higher total biogas formation in R3/IE-MESAV (1.12 L), followed by R1/MESAV (0.91 L), R4/IE-MESCC (0.88 L) and R2/MESCC (0.59 L). Higher methane content was observed in R3/IE-MESAV (0.88 L) with a conversion efficiency of 76%, followed by R1/MESAV (0.66 L; 60%), R4/IE-MESCC (0.60 L; 56%) and R2/MESCC (0.37 L; 34%). EM operation depicted higher CH4 fraction with the co-generation of lower fractions of H2 and CO2 [R3/IE-MESAV (CH4-78%; H2-5%; CO2-17%), R1/MESAV (CH4-73%; H2-3%; CO2-22%), R4/IE-MESCC (CH4-68%; H2-5%; CO2-28%), R2/MESCC (CH4-63%; H2-4%; CO2-34%)] compared to control operation (CH4-61%; H2-4%; CO2-33%). The polarized microenvironment provided during EM (CC/AV) significantly contributed to biogas upgradation with a simultaneous CO2 reduction as compared to the BM and MESOC phases. Electrochemical characterization showed a high regulatory influence of the electron flux in R3/IE-MESAV, which helped to increase CO2 conversion/utilization compared to other conditions. EM influenced direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET), creating a microbe–electrode synergy leading to neutralize the disruptors influence (from side reactions) on final product formation. This study provides a specific strategy for increasing the overall methane yields with the influence of in situ/ex situ potential, while overcoming the limitations of methanogenesis.

5) Uno. This is our current family favourite game. Well, I should actually say it’s currently mine and hubby’s favourite to play with the kids. It is so nice to be able to play a game that we can enjoy too. It’s nice to be getting past the days of Candyland – although, once our youngest daughter gets a bit older, we will likely be playing Candyland type games again. But for now, we will enjoy Uno.
Have a wonderful weekend!

So I meant to get this up earlier today….but I got a little wrapped up in the football games. Sad day for the Colts….but at least I still have the Packers! I was not sorry to see the Cowboys lose, I may live in Texas – but I am not a fan! And then I fought with my internet connection all evening – so frustrating! At least I didn’t lose what I had done already! Anyway – here’s the tutorial!
And please no comments about how messy that area behind the pics is, lol!
Target Mailbox (any metal mailbox will do, but you’ll have to check the dimensions may be different)
sticky strip (red liner tape, o’so sticky tape, etc) I got my white rolls from Taylor.
scissors (preferably two pairs, one that is Teflon coated for cutting the sticky strip)
paper (I like to use two coordinating designs)
mono multi (or some other strong adhesive)
1/2 inch circle punch
1. Choose the paper you want to cover the body of your mailbox. Cut a strip that is 4×12.
2. Hold your strip of paper up against the mailbox so that one of the ends would be about halfway across the bottom. Kind of smoosh the paper against the base of the flag (where the nail/screw is).
3. Flip your paper over and punch out the “mark” the flag base left using your 1/2 inch hole punch. (I apologize for the blurry pictures, the shimmery white side was hard to photograph!)
4. After you punch the hole, cut a slit from the edge of the paper in to the hole.
5. Line the entire strip of paper with sticky tape. (you could use another adhesive, but I think this works the best)
6. Start putting the paper on the mailbox by taking only the backing off the sticky strip around the flag hole. You want to make sure you get that part on correctly.
7. After you get the flag area stuck down well, continue removing the sticky tape backing and adhering the paper.
9. Take your second piece of paper and trace the lid of the mailbox onto the back of the paper. Repeat.
10. Cut them out – you will want to ‘undercut’ them a bit so that they don’t overlap the edges. (I hold the paper on the lid and crease any edges that overlap so that it’s easy to tell how much to trim.)
11. Use mono multi to adhere paper to lid (you can use another adhesive – sticky strip, etc – but I prefer the mono multi). Do the same to the back of the mailbox.
12. To go around the edge of the lid you have a few options. You can leave it as is or you can cover it. I chose to cover mine. You can do this using ribbon or paper. For this mailbox I used ribbon. To adhere the ribbon, use glue dots or sticky strip. If you use sticky strip, you may have to cut it in half. Mine was too wide to put on without cutting it. Once it is cut, line the edge of the lid with the sticky strip. If you use glue dots, you can just stick them on as you go. (I did use paper on another mailbox and I put it on with mono multi. I do not recommend this way after trying it as the mono multi was a bit messy for that small of a space. If you want to use paper, cut it in a 1/4 inch strip).
13. You will want your seam to be underneath the mailbox, so start putting the ribbon on there. Go all the way around, taking the backing off as you go. When you get all the way around, just snip the ribbon as close to the starting point as possible. You can put a dab of crystal effects there on the seam to prevent fraying if you would like.
14. At this point, you can just embellish as you like! I always tie ribbons around the flag. Sometimes I cover the end of the flag. If you would like to put paper around it, the measurements are 1 3/8 x 2 1/8. Score at 1 inch and 1 1/8 inches to make it fold nicely around the flag. I left my mailbox as is for now, but last year I used the Mega Scalloped punch by Marvy to put the teacher’s initials on them as Valentine gifts. I then filled the mailboxes with candy.
This mailbox was made using shimmery Smitten papers by Bo Bunny (Shabby Princess line).
And here’s another one I made today where I covered the flag….
This was made using Maybe Baby papers by Daisy D’s. The stamps used on the flag are by Stampendous.
Ok, any questions? Both of these tins are listed on the For Sale page if you are interested.

Survivors angry over 'Pain & Gain' depiction
MIAMI (AP) — The real-life murder, torture and kidnapping case from South Florida that's behind the coming movie "Pain & Gain" indeed reads like a script — just not a funny one.
The fact that the film, starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, is an action-comedy has angered survivors of the Sun Gym gang's crimes and those who investigated them nearly two decades ago.
"You are talking about real people. And in this particular case, especially when you're talking about the murder victims, these were innocent victims," said retired Miami-Dade Police Sgt. Felix Jimenez.
Zsuzsanna Griga told The Miami Herald that the movie's depiction of the gang as sympathetic bumblers just trying to get ahead is "ridiculous." Gang members murdered and dismembered her brother and his girlfriend.
"It's horrible what happened to them," said Griga, who lives in Hungary. She could not be reached by The Associated Press. "I don't want the American public to be sympathetic to the killers," she said.
The Paramount film, which opens April 26 and is directed by Michael Bay of "Transformers" and "Armageddon" fame, is adapted from a series of Miami New Times articles about a group of 1990s bodybuilders who hatched a brutal get-rich-quick kidnapping scheme that eventually escalated to murder. Paramount declined comment.
The New Times series told of mastermind Daniel Lugo, played by Wahlberg, his sadistic muscleman Noel Doorbal, played by Anthony Mackie, and Jorge Delgado, who is not portrayed in the movie, who were denizens of the Sun Gym, which was known for its hardcore bodybuilders. Johnson plays Paul Doyle, a fictional member of the crew.

From the Desk of Jack Healy
GE’s Relocation Will Have a Big Impact on Massachusetts
Jack Healy – A Voice for Manufacturing in Massachusetts
By Jack Healy, President and CEO, MassMEP
Thanks to the combined marketing efforts of Governor Baker and Mayor Walsh, and their respective staffs and members of the business community, General Electric has selected Boston’s Innovation District as the location of their worldwide corporate headquarters. This decision came after a very public initiative that started back in June 2015, when GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt first notified employees that GE would be looking to relocate it’s HQ and subsequently reviewed the feasibility for such a relocation with approximately 40 different cities across the country.
On January 13, 2016, Immelt confirmed his decision, stating, "Today, GE is a $130 billion high tech global industrial company, one that is leading the digital transformation of industry. We want to be at the center of an ecosystem that shares our aspirations. Greater Boston is the home of 55 colleges and universities. Massachusetts spends more on research and development than any other region in the world, and Boston attracts a diverse, technologically-fluent workforce focused on solving challenges for the world. We are excited to bring our headquarters to this dynamic and creative city."
While the economic benefits of GE’s decision may be Boston-centric, the announcement by the 8th largest Fortune 500 enterprise with the renown of GE, declares that they are leaving the current corporate location of 42 years because of "significant and retroactive tax increases." That GE is moving to Massachusetts goes a long way toward removing the "Taxachusetts" label that our state has been unfairly saddled with for so many years. Immelt was quoted as "looking for long term financial stability in a state," and he found it in Massachusetts. Given the desire for long-term fiscal responsibility, we should expect that GE will actively promote the need for continued good fiscal management at the state level, which could be a lasting benefit for all of the citizens of our state.
Another outcome of the GE decision process was the fact that the Governor was able to cooperatively work with the city of Boston’s mayor to propose a collaborative economic package that GE found acceptable. This type of collaboration was not found in either of the competing proposals from Chicago or New York. Despite representing different political parties, both Governor Baker and Mayor Walsh found the proper economic solution for GE and have set a standard for similar bipartisan solutions in future economic opportunities within the state.
The recruitment of GE will also have a very positive impact on the state’s overall manufacturing community as GE’s mission to "aspire to be the most competitive company in the world" will impact all who do business with them. In addition to the relocation of the their corporate staff of approximately 200 people, there will be an additional 600 digital industrial product managers, designers, and developers split between GE Digital, Robotics, and Life Sciences. A GE Digital Foundry will be created for co-creation, incubation, and product development with customers, startups, and partners. All of these interfaces will be subject to GE’s "FASTWORKS" system that ensures quicker product cycles, quicker IT implementation, and faster customer response than industry standards. As the personnel at the GE Innovation center interface with local suppliers and partners they will infuse the requirements of the "FASTWORK "system through the local economy. This has to be a welcome approach as it has the potential to change the competitiveness of the majority of the state’s manufacturers who are focused on slower moving development processes, related to the Dept. of Defense and medical devices.
GE is a leading example of efforts that are underway throughout the global manufacturing economy to implement next generation manufacturing technologies. These include the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, Big Data, Robotics, etc. that GE is inventing for the next industrial era, to move, power, build, and cure the world. Hopefully they will accomplish much of this development in our state.
As reported in IndustryWeek magazine, "Such changes are not happening overnight, but the Boston Consulting Group forecasts that the combination of these new tools could reduce productions costs by 20% to 40% and radically redefine the dynamics of global competition in many industries."
GE’s involvement in such new technologies will have an impact on the educational venues throughout the state, especially in the promotion of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses, as they will be a very welcome addition to the STEM Council.
The uniqueness of adding of a company who "imagines things others don’t, builds things other can’t, and delivers outcomes that makes the world work better" must be viewed as an asset that can impact our entire state.

Accessing and evaluating information sources for health and hygiene practices
Loveleen Kaur, Sukhjeet Kaur and Preeti Sharma
Information is an element of knowledge that is publicly available, which can be shared and pass through the world. For any meaningful information to be provided, certain relevant information sources must be consulted keeping in mind the problems associated with use of different information sources. Thus the present study was undertaken with the objectives to assess information sources used by women, evaluation of various information sources, and find out the problems associated with use of information sources. The study was conducted in Ludhiana district of Punjab. Two blocks and two zones were selected purposively from Ludhiana district. Further two villages from each block and two localities from each zone were selected randomly. Twenty-five women from each selected village as well as from each locality in the age of 25-50 years were selected on random basis. Thus, total 200 women formed the sample for the study and data was collected with the help of an interview schedule. Health and hygiene practices were studied as personal, household and food related health and hygiene practices. Information sources were taken as informal, formal and mass media (print and electronic) sources. The results of the study showed that the informal sources (i.e. family, friends, neighbour and relatives) were the most preferred sources for seeking information on all health and hygiene practices. Information sources were never evaluated by the majority of the respondents for household and food related health and hygiene practices while these were sometimes evaluated in case of personal and overall health and hygiene practices. Major problems faced by the respondents related to informal, formal, print and electronic sources were unreliability, expensiveness, non-availability and lack of knowledge in using source respectively. There is need to motivate women to carefully select and evaluate information sources before seeking information, so that authenticated and appropriate information could be sought.

CAPE CANAVERAL – NASA administrator Mike Griffin is not cooperating with President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team, is obstructing its efforts to get information and has told its leader that she is “not qualified” to judge his rocket program, the Orlando Sentinel has learned.
In a heated 40-minute conversation last week with Lori Garver, a former NASA associate administrator who heads the space transition team, a red-faced Griffin demanded to speak directly to Obama, according to witnesses.
In addition, Griffin is scripting NASA employees and civilian contractors on what they can tell the transition team and has warned aerospace executives not to criticize the agency’s moon program, sources said.
Griffin’s resistance is part of a no-holds-barred effort to preserve the Constellation program, the delayed and over-budget moon rocket that is his signature project.
Chris Shank, NASA’s Chief of Strategic Communications, denied that Griffin is trying to keep information from the team, or that he is seeking a meeting with Obama. He also insisted that Griffin never argued with Garver.
“We are working extremely well with the transition team,” he said.

DeOndra Dixon is, according to her brother, the real star of their family. The 34-year-old lady recently shared a new pic on her social media, and she’s looking better than ever.
Jamie Foxx and his sister are a force to be reckoned with. The pair is inseparable, and DeOndra, like her brother, has already accomplished many things while using her position in the spotlight to raise awareness about Down syndrome.
She recently shared a pic on Facebook with an unknown gorgeous brunette. In the pic, DeOndra is rocking a striped white and pink t-shirt as she holds her phone and the lady cuddles up to her.
DeOndra is everything but shy in front of the cameras. She appeared on Jamie Foxx’s “Blame It” music video, where she stole the show with her amazing dance moves. She also took the stage by storm with Foxx on the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards and received the leading role as the 2011 Ambassador for the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.
As an ambassador, DeOndra spoke in the Congress about the needs of people with down syndrome and has participated in the annual “Be Beautiful – Be Yourself” gala-fashion show, organized by the Foundation to raise funds to continue the research about the syndrome, in several occasions.
“She speaks her mind and knows that there’s nothing she can’t do. She has such a special quality, and she can light up a room. I don’t know where she gets it. It’s amazing,” said Jamie of his sister to People.
Jamie and his family made sure to create a loving, respectful and encouraging space for DeOndra as she was growing up. She was never treated differently from the rest of the members of their family, and that’s why she has become such a confident and smart lady.
“My mom was like, ‘You get on the bus with the regular kids, go to the regular school, do your thing,'” Foxx recalled. “In the neighborhood, that’s how it is. We just got along.”
When she graduated from high school in 2002, DeOndra moved to Los Angeles to live with her superstar brother. And she loves her life. Not only has she met her favorite celebrities and got to hand out with the likes of Quincy Jones, Iggy Azalea, and Jake Gyllenhaal, but DeOndra also has her celebrity crush on direct dial whenever she’s missing him.
Foxx revealed on an episode of the “Queen Latifah Show” that his sister is infatuated with Chris Brown, and the singer never thinks twice when it comes to showing up and hang out with her. He said:
“There’s a young man by the name of Chris Brown, who always gets a whole lotta things said about him, and he does a few things that maybe we may take out of context. But when I call Chris Brown about my sister, because she has a huge crush on him- he drops everything. No cameras around, he comes and dances with her, hangs out with her…”
“Lots of kids with Down syndrome never get a chance to shine or chase their dreams. Each one has something to offer, and each one has a dream,” DeOndra wrote in her profile on the GDS Foundation. And continued:
“Please help me and my family to advocate for so many beautiful and brilliant children with Down syndrome who’ve been neglected. Together we will make dreams come true.”

BY TONY ICHEKU
Ahead the 2023 presidential election, aspirants are popping up from North, South, East and West, a normal for such very significant national election but when the going gets rough, the tough will get going.
It is not out of place to predict that close to the election, all eyes would be on the South-East geo-political zone to produce candidates that would fly the flags of the major political parties for 2023 election. This prediction is premised on equity, fair play, justice, and principles of zoning and rotation of sensitive political offices. It is in the nation’s interest just as it was in it’s interest to have the South-West produce the Presidency in 1999.
In the present 4th Republic, the South-West – Olusegun Obasanjo – had their turn at the presidency from 1999-2007. And the North-West with Muhammadu Buhari will by 2023 complete it’s two term.
From 2007-2015: It was a mix of the North-West and South-South being in office. The death on May 2010 of President Musa Yar’Adua paved way for his Vice-President, Goodluck Jonathan to step into his shoes. In 2011, Jonathan ran for the office and won, but failed to get a second term in 2015.
Unarguably, Nigeria stands on a tripod: the Hausa-Fulani (North); Yoruba (South-West) and Igbo (South-East), and it will be an exercise in redundancy to argue where Nigeria’s President should come from in 2023. It is a settled and concluded matter that it is the turn of the South-East to produce Nigeria’s President in 2023.
This assertion is just, equitable and in tandem with the principles of zoning and rotation which attempts to ensure no part of the country is left behind in the sharing of leadership positions.
Indeed the quest of an Igbo to be Nigeria’s executive president is one that has been on the table since the country’s independence in 1960. The closest they came to realising that dream was the Shagari/Ekwueme pairing under the NPN in 1979, but the military coup of 1983 messed up that arrangement. Again in 1999, Alex Ekwueme as the founding father of the PDP and the leading figure in the agitation for return to democracy was well on his way to emerging President when the political godfathers reached the conclusion that it was the turn of the SW. Equity, fair-play, justice and unity of the Nigerian nation were the argument advanced to yield the Presidency by consensus to the SW.
Recall that the fabric of Nigeria’s unity came under severe pressure after the aborted June 12, 1993 presidential election in which MKO Abiola was coasting home as winner.
In the subsequent struggle to claim that victory, MKO’s wife, Kudirat was brutally assassinated and while in the custody of the military despots fighting for the same cause MKO himself died. Thus it was to compensate the Yoruba nation that the political class literally yielded the presidency to them and Olusegun Obasanjo and Olu Falae emerged as the presidential candidates of the two major political parties respectively PDP and then AD/APP.
The quest of the Igbos to produce the Presidency is thus justified from whatever point of view any would want to advance. At a point, the needling assault on this quest was that there is no Igbo politician with sufficient national clout to occupy the position. But finally he is here in the person of His Excellency, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, former Senate President, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF.
From all the contenders for the Presidency, Senator Anyim stands not just shoulders taller, but like a collosus, with requisite national name recognition and connections
Nigeria today totters on the precipice, inclining towards disintegration, similar to it’s state in 1999, but much worse. Today separatist agitations spring from all sections of the country. Cries of marginalisation which used to echo from the SE is now the catchphrase from everywhere, including even the North that has held on to power more than any other part of Nigeria.
With such being the state of the country today, the Anyim Presidency holds monumental prospects as a healing balm for Nigeria. From the crowd of aspirants so far, Anyim stands kilometers ahead as a moral voice and symbol of excellent democratic leadership.
He is experienced and tested: Having trod the corridors of power, having mingled with the movers and shakers at the highest level, he will not be led by the hand to start Nigeria’s healing and restoration, nor would he indecisive about taking tough decisions.
As a stabilising factor in the Senate, he earned the respects of his colleagues by taking firm, pragmatic decisions.
What else stands in Anyim’s favour? Age. At a little above 60, he is still bubbling with vitality and strength needed for any who aspires to lead Nigeria – giant of the Black World. At that age, Anyim would be at home with the expectations of the teeming youths and the hopes of the senior citizens
As former Number 3 citizen, as former SGF, Anyim would hit the ground running.
Anyim says of his aspiration: “… I am running for the president in 2023,….to restore Nigeria to its past glories and bring peace, brotherly love to the people are my driving force”.
The Anyim Presidency is also kindling interests nationwide: From the North, a coalition of over 30 northern civil society organisations and youth groups under the umbrella of Arewa Concerned Civil Society Organisations of Nigeria (ACCSON) has endorsed his presidential aspiration, and at a world press conference at the Arewa House, Kaduna, they adopted Anyim as their presidential candidate for the 2023 elections.
Also from the North, a powerful political movement, Nigerians Ask for Anyim, NA4A, also endorsed him as the best person for the job come 2023.
The eminent scholar, Prof Babs Sheriff Folarin says that he does not envy anyone that would want to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari because the individual must have the capacity and will power to deliver, not just a rabble rouser or the inexperienced. He told Sunday Sun that Senator Anyim possesses the finest credentials and requisite know-how required for the office.
Folarin said: “Among one of the eminently qualified persons of Igbo origin to lead Nigeria is Senator Pius Anyim. He’s been Senate President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation and by extension a statesman who understands Nigeria.
“What more can you ask for? What better qualifications do you wish for in the president of Nigeria? He’s well educated and he has the requisite practical experience. And we should give the SE chance to make them feel like Nigerians”.
From the SE, the political class are confident Anyim has what it takes. According to former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara: “Ndigbo still have qualified personalities in Nigeria. Anyim is the only Igbo man to announce his readiness to contest for President of Nigeria come 2023″.
Wabara described Anyim as one of the prominent Igbo men that has the capacity to change the ugly narrative of Nigeria and bring new hope for the people.
“We will tell Nigerians, that we have personalities in Igboland. I ask Ndigbo to support the ambition of our brother, Anyim Pius Anyim.”
In his assessment, former Senate Minority Leader and current Senator, Enyi Abaribe declared his readiness to fully support the presidential ambition of Anyim: “My brother (Anyim) is the only one that has declared his intention to run for the office of the president. I will give him all the support because he has all it takes to make Nigeria better again. therefore, I encourage all Nigerians to support this noble intention.”
All said and done Anyim himself sees his emergence as divine. “I see God showing the way forward in my aspirations. I am trusting wholly in God to see me through, and restore Nigeria”. Need we say more?

Now Sam had just stepped out of the bathroom after a shave and a bath. He had taken time to properly brush his teeth then gargled some mouthwash to obliterate the taste of the cans of beer he had at work from his mouth. The birthday for him started a few hours before midnight. But how could his wife have forgotten to call at midnight? He lay on the bed to try to catch a few hours needed sleep…
He smelt her even before she knocked on the door. Even though it was tainted with perfume now but… Oh that smell…
Now it was true that like every other lady, Andrea liked her perfumes and she was quite selective of them and didn’t just buy anything off the shelf. But there was a way Andrea smelt that he couldn’t just explain. The closest he could think of was divinity. Yes! That had to be the word. Naturally,she smelt divine. If the angels in heaven had a smell,then Andrea had that smell. No matter the perfume she used,once it connects with the natural smell of her body, it changed everything… Divinity. He allowed himself to admit that there was a way Andrea smelt that he could never miss in a crowd. It was almost like… Telepathy. He remembered the 1st time he set his eyes on Andrea…
It was exactly 7yrs ago.
He went out drinking with 4 friends at a bar that afternoon. It was his birthday and he was treating them. They all just graduated a few months back and were really on a high. He was still on his 3rd bottle of Star when the most amazing thing happened. Now Sam had heard of angels,read about angels & talked about angels. He had even seen a few movies about angels. Being a hunk who took great care of his body by working out religiously, he had had his fair share of ‘angels’ too. But nothing prepared him for this apparition that seemed to appear before him. She had walked in with the official looking man and that was as far as he was permitting himself to observe about the lady’s partner. He had all his concentration on the lady. The way she sat down on the chair offered to her in the bar,her lovely,natural looking long hair;the face that would have made the goddess Athena green with destructive envy, the ample looking bosom which sloped into a flat tummy; long shapely legs which she crossed at the ankles & not the laps; she also, as is to be expected, had her lovely fingers well manicured. No wedding bands so that made it even more special. He was convinced what he was staring at should have be a live sculpture from Mount Olympus.
“Earth to Spacecraft Samson, Earth to Spacecraft Samson, do you read me?” Retorted one of Sam’s friend in his best imitation of a robot’s voice. The other friends laughed as Samson snapped out of his reverie.
“Hey guys,do you see dat mulatto over there? Sam replied. “The one sitting 11o’clock?”
“Oh you mean the one you’ve been gaping at? Of course we see her”. Another friend answered without even looking up from his glass. “We saw her the moment she entered the bar. All we had to do was follow your gaze & you’re seriously drooling by the way”
They all burst out in laughter.
There was a knock on Sam’s door.
“Hey pooh bear, it’s Andrea, may I come in?”

Jaguar are proud to announce the addition of Swedish vocalist L-G Persson to their line-up.
In September 2014 Jaguar parted company with their previous vocalist Jamie Manton following their appearance at Sweden Rock Festival in June the same year. Since then the band has been searching for the perfect vocalist both in the UK and Scandinavia, latterly though in Sweden as the band founder Garry Pepperd planned to move to Sweden to settle down with his Swedish born fiancée.
In November the same year the band released their long awaited album “Metal X” on GoldenCore Records/ZYX Music, mixed by Mike Exeter (Judas Priest/Black Sabbath) the album was given a release on vinyl in the summer of 2015 by the same label.
In April 2015 Garry Pepperd moved to north Sweden with his fiancee and in August the band finally found the perfect fit in Swedish born vocalist L-G Persson from the Swedish Heavy Metal/Power Metal band “The Storyteller” from Gävle, Sweden, with L-G regarded by many as one of the best heavy metal vocalists in Sweden today.
L-G is a very experienced vocalist who brings with him a wide range of different vocal registers and styles. He is best known as the frontman of the Heavy Metal/Power Metal band “The Storyteller”, and has also appeared on many other Swedish heavy metal projects. Per Nilsson from the Swedish well known international metal band “Scar Symmetry” wrote the following review about L-G’s work for The Storyteller’s latest album “Sacred Fire”;
” The powerhouse vocalist L-G Persson and his crew are back with a vengeance, presenting their best work in years. The album features some classy songwriting and a solid production, but the star of this show is L-G’s unique, soaring tenor voice, a true gem.”
Jaguar are now planning a new beginning to put the band into a higher gear with the awesome L-G on board. The band’s crew and Jaguar Promotions can now plot the tour schedule for 2016 and beyond.
Jaguar says; ” We are looking forward to meeting our fans in Europe and we will do our best to visit other parts of the world too. We know our fans will love L-G as much as we do as he totally blew us away! See you all very soon!! ”

Man who killed granny and two police officers sentenced to life in jail
A German court on Friday sentenced to life in prison a 25-year-old man who murdered his grandmother before killing two police officers by running them over with his car.
In the triple murder a year ago, the man first stabbed to death his 79-year-old grandmother while under the influence of drugs, at Müllrose, a small town near the eastern city of Frankfurt an der Oder.
The defendant, who was not publicly named, then sped off in a car and caused several road accidents before he ran over two officers at a temporary checkpoint set up to stop him.
The suspect was arrested shortly afterwards near the Polish border.
A German life sentence means a convict spends at least 15 years behind bars and can be kept in custody beyond that if still deemed a threat to society.


Fylde coast cricket review: Defeats at either end of the table on final day
and live on Freeview channel 276
Matt Taaffe’s players had started the day in third place, one point behind Birkenhead Park in the race for the second promotion spot behind champions Newton-le-Willows.
A low-scoring game saw ball dominate bat with 19 wickets falling for only 203 runs on the day.
Having been asked to bat first by their visitors, Lytham were quickly in trouble as the departures of Myles Child (0) and Matthew Wood (10) left them 14-2.
Guy Roberts (0) and Taaffe (5) also fell cheaply before Steven Croft was out for what proved the top score of 25.
That left Lytham 40-5 but Tom Jefferson and Josh Holden produced the best stand of their innings.
They added 25 before Jefferson was out for 15, followed by Avinash Yadav (0) to leave the score 72-7.
Holden (17) was out 10 runs later before Lytham’s ninth-wicket pair took them to three figures.
Williams Bookless (5) eventually fell with Richard Openshaw (13) the last man out and Lytham on 101.
In reply, Yadav removed Michael Farrell (9) but Highfield were in the driving seat at 50-1.
Yadav then dismissed Ryan Hargreaves (25), Sudip Chatterjee (23) and Hedley Molyneux (5), while Holden sent back Madduma Lakmal (0) with the score 62-5.
Jamie Darbyshire and Edwin Brewer rallied, adding 19 before the latter (10) was out to Yadav, who then removed Joel Welsby (0).
Highfield were now 83-7 but, with Lytham seeking an unlikely win, Darbyshire and Ryan Parry took them to within two runs of victory.
Parry (10) was out to Holden before Yadav dismissed Darbyshire (17) to leave the scoreboard reading 100-9.
Rob Halliwell (two not out) got the runs required despite Yadav claiming 7-45 and Holden 2-40.
As it happened, Lytham’s defeat was immaterial as Birkenhead Park clinched the win they needed to finish as runners-up, beating Old Xaverians by 10 wickets.
Lytham’s loss saw them drop to fourth as they were leapfrogged by Spring View, who beat Caldy by 129 runs.
In the Moore and Smalley Palace Shield, Kirkham & Wesham were relegated from the Premier Division after losing by one run against Mawdesley.
Thornton Cleveleys beat Lancaster by four runs and Great Eccleston won at Vernon Carus by 45 runs.

By Holistic Women's Health and Wellness Coach Sierra Divinely
The average age someone is put on birth control is 16 years old. That’s when I started. I didn’t fully come off until after the birth of my son at 23 years old, I knew without a doubt that I never wanted to be on any sort of birth control once I started menstruating again.
Proper education on menstrual cycles would have taught me that I am only fertile for about 4-5 days a month. It would have also taught me that an imbalance in my menstrual cycle was an indicator of deeper imbalances that could not be remedied by a drug.
I wish I would have been informed properly about how exposure to these hormonal contraceptives at this age can and did have long-lasting negative impacts on my reproductive health. I wish I would have been empowered to learn about my womanly monthly cycle and value how sacred my fertility is.
Due to the widespread use of these hormones, the public's perception is that they are safe.
This is far from the truth, and women should think seriously about taking synthetic hormones if they are not essential. About 30% of women are prescribed birth control to "regulate their periods" when in actuality, hormonal birth control stops menstrual cycles, period.
Hormonal birth control is a form of contraception that “prevents” pregnancy by blocking the release of hormones from the ovaries. Hormonal birth control works by preventing ovulation.
These synthetic hormones suppress the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which causes ovulation. This means that the egg cannot be released from the ovary thus preventing fertilization, causing the menstrual cycle to stop altogether.
There is no ovulation and no period when on hormonal birth control.
The pill gives the illusion of a period by stimulating a withdrawal bleed every 28 days.
Nobody had explained that to me as a 16 year old girl.
How, in any way, does this explain how this is going to “regulate” my menstrual cycle?
The pill actually causes further hormone imbalance by disrupting the entire endocrine system.
Ovulation and menstruation are indicators of health and well being.
We mistakenly believe that hormonal birth control contains hormones. In actuality, there is no estrogen or progesterone in hormonal birth control. Natural hormones can only be produced by the body.
HBC is a synthetic steroid drug that contains synthetic steroidal estrogen and steroidal progesterones (norethindrone and norethynodrel).
By supplying the body with these blanket hormones, the body then stops its own hormone production. This has led to the epidemic of debilitating symptoms during a women's cycle, as a woman's body fails to produce the necessary levels of hormones.
Risk factors increasing with age and duration of taking synthetic hormones:
Two to eight-fold increase in blood clots
Three to six-fold increase in the risk of heart attacks
There are also a wide range of less serious, yet life-disrupting symptoms.
A widely publicized study by the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) found that “women taking synthetic hormones had a higher risk for several diseases, including breast cancer, blood clots, stroke, and dementia.”
A 2008 study from the journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment found that “women who used estrogen in combination with synthetic progestins had a 69 percent increased risk of breast cancer.”
A trial in 2005 involving over 15,000 women was halted after 3 years because the risk vs. benefit ratio was exceeded. This means the use of synthetic hormones was too dangerous to continue!
Researchers found a 12% increase in the risk of fatal and non-fatal malignancies (cancers) in women taking the synthetic estrogen and progesterone. The dramatic increase in the risk of cancer explains why the rates of breast cancer have risen from approximately 1:50 in 1950 to 1:10 today. 1950 is the year that synthetic hormones first began to be used commonly by women.

The new congressman for America's only majority-Asian congressional district has apologized for saying he is "an Asian trapped in a white man's body." National Journal fellow Nicholas Wu tweeted Wednesday that Ed Case, a Democrat elected in November to represent Hawaii's 1st congressional district, made the remark at an event in Washington, DC, celebrating Asian-American and Pacific Islander members of Congress, Hawaii News Now reports. The backlash was swift, with some critics likening Case to white actresses cast in the roles of Asian characters. One Twitter user quipped: "Alexa, what’s the worst possible thing Ed Case could say?"
Case apologized for the remark, but said he was "fiercely proud" to represent such a diverse state. "Like so many others from Hawaii who treasure our multicultural heritage, I have absorbed and live the values of our many cultures,” Case in a statement to the Washington Post. "They and not my specific ethnicity are who I am, and I believe that this makes me an effective advocate on national issues affecting our API community." He added that he regrets if his remarks "to the national API community on my full absorption of their concerns caused any offense." A Case spokesman said the lawmaker was commenting "on what his Japanese-American wife sometimes says about him." (Read more Hawaii stories.)

Kawerau District Council has voted to set-up Māori Wards for the next two local elections.
165 people had their say on the wards - with 69 responses from hard copy.
50 came from social media, 43 from the Council's website and 3 responses via email
91 opposed the wards, 66 supported them while eight neither favored or opposed the wards.
Opponents said the representation is there while supporters argued, the wards guarantee representation on the council.
One person who opposed the wards, believed it would mean fewer options for voters.
Those on the fence believe the representation is already there and that if it ain't broke don't fix.
Tuwharetoa ki Kawerau Hauora co-chair Hone Te Rire told a packed council chambers, Kawerau must bring in the wards.
Te Rire said what's good for Kawerau will be good for Māori and vice versa.
Local resident Jenny Reynolds said there's been Maori representation councillor ranks for years.
Reynolds urged the council to stick to the status quo and to revisit the issue before the 2028 election.
Louise Hiwarau told councillors to "have the kaha to vote for change."
"Take the full step to help Māori realise their full potential."
Heather Kuka said while her origin lies in Scotland, she's committed to realising the aspirations and well-being of Kawerau.
Kuka said she supports the wards "even if stablishing these wards means that my personal voting options are limited."
Huia McLean said having the wards would be a good thing, adding that "we've got a changing landscape."
Councillors had a chance to speak before the vote, starting with Deputy Mayor Aaron Rangihika.
The public must respect the decision of what councillors voted, Rangihika said.
It's not easy to vote on things like Maori wards, Councillor Carolyn Ion said.
Councillor Berice Julian praised the community for getting involved.
Councillor Rex Savage wondered about how the Wards shape, the council's future make-up.
"Considering we do have considerable Māori on the electoral team," Savage said.
The wards would guarantee future Maori representation on the council table, Councillor Warwick Godfery said.
"Let's make hay while the sun is shining," Godfery said.
Councillor Sela Kingi said, we're all in this together.
Kingi said Kawerau "can explore the most effective ways to work together."
She said they can "highlight what is needed in order for us to make sure the voice of a small local council is not lost."
First-term Councillor Rowena Andrews said being a person of trust was one reason why she ran for Council last year.
Andrews said the vote "was a prime situation, where it allowed them to come speak to me, so I can bring it to the table here."
Another first-time Councillor Justin Ross said, it was a hard decision to make.
A lot of people can say that we've got great representation within our team at the moment, Ross said.
"But then we can also flip it on the other side, what if that doesn't happen?"
Mayor Faylene Tunui was the last elected member to speak.
She thanked the community and submitters for sharing their views and for presenting their feedback to Councillors.
“We are governed by systems that determine these electoral processes, but it is people who look after people and we have seen that honoured today by the community and our team of elected members," Mayor Tunui said.
Mayor Tunui said they make the decisions to lay the foundations for tomorrow.
All but one voted for the motion to set up the wards.
A representation review will be held next year to determine what the Council make-up looks like.
It includes the number of Māori and General wards, and how many councillors come from these wards.
It follows Ōpōtiki District Council's decision this week to establish the wards.
Kawerau's vote means the Eastern Bay will have Māori wards at the next local election.

The inconsolable mom of a US Military veteran who was stabbed to dying in a Harlem brawl went off on Manhattan District Legal professional Alvin Bragg in court docket Wednesday, accusing the besieged prosecutor of botching the case.
“I don’t wish to hear nothing else, Yoran,” Madeline Brame screamed at prosecutor Dafna Yoran as one of many defendants in her son’s homicide case received simply seven years for his function within the 2018 slaying.

Brame’s son, Hason Correa, 35, a vet and married father of three was overwhelmed and stabbed to dying in 2018 after getting jumped by at the very least 4 folks, together with Stewart, throughout a scuffle in Harlem. His 66-year-old father was severely injured within the melee.
One other defendant, Mary Saunders, served about one yr in jail whereas the case lingered in court docket earlier than she pleaded responsible to assault, additionally as a part of a plea deal, earlier this yr and received no further jail time.
Her two brothers, James and Chris Saunders, stay in jail, and can each go on trial for the homicide, prosecutors have stated.
Prosecutors stated earlier this yr that it could be tough to make a case towards Stewart and Mary Saunders.
However the slain vet’s grieving mother slammed the prosecutor on the case, accusing of her sitting “along with her tail between her legs” since she was assigned to it.
Brame stated if the unique prosecutor on the case, who has since left Bragg’s workplace, have been nonetheless there “all 4 of [the defendants] would have went to trial,” predicting that “a jury would have determined they have been responsible primarily based on the video proof and the 33 witnesses!”
She additionally unloaded on protection lawyer Toni Messina.
“Bulls–t! Bulls–t! Bulls–t!” Brame yelled in court docket. “Take your restorative progressive justice bulls–t and shove it up your ass, Messina!”
Bragg’s workplace identified that James and Chris Saunders would nonetheless go on trial when requested for remark.
Prosecutors have stated that whereas the 34-year-old Stewart had been concerned within the struggle, he wasn’t a part of the brawl when James Saunders allegedly took out a knife and stabbed Correa 9 occasions.
Yoran additionally stated throughout Mary Saunders’ listening to earlier this yr that prosecutors “don’t imagine that we will show past an affordable doubt that Mary Saunders knew that her brother had a knife, or that she shared the intent to kill Hason Correa.”
In a scathing letter to Bragg and Gov. Kathy Hochul earlier this month, Brame slammed the DA for not consulting her earlier than slicing the plea offers with Stewart and Mary Saunders.
“You violated my rights as a criminal offense sufferer to be totally knowledgeable and to be heard,” the grieving mom wrote. “Why would you dismiss homicide expenses towards half of the individuals when the homicide and their roles have been caught on video?”
In court docket Wednesday, Brame’s ache continued to surge to the floor.
“Within the 4 years that I sat by means of this I by no means missed a court docket date,” she stated. “I by no means as soon as noticed one ounce of regret from Mr. Stewart. I noticed smiles, waving, blowing kisses like he’s a rock star. Not one drop!
“He took all the things from us when he took my son. He took my grandchildren’s father.”
