The long-pending proposed federal Second Chance Act to help former prisoners is being held up by Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions because of his concerns that it would dramatically increase federal spending on untested programs, reports the Birmingham News. Just before Congress adjourned for the year last month, the Alabama Republican asked for more time to review the bill, which passed the House in November by a wide margin and has broad bipartisan support in the Senate.
Sessions supports the goal of helping released prisoners become productive citizens, said his spokesman, Stephen Boyd. The proposal would authorize increased spending on grants for state and local governments from $16 million to $55 million. Sessions argued that some of those programs have not been fully evaluated and may duplicate existing programs. The grants can go toward helping the recently incarcerated find employment, housing, substance abuse treatment, and other assistance. Bobby Timmons, president of the Alabama Sheriffs Association, backs the Second Chance Act because prisoners need more rehabilitation than they get behind bars. “They need some kind of program to be put back into society so they don’t go back into the criminal element that put them there to start with,” he said. “If it works, they’re out of my hair and not back being a problem for me anymore.”

A 109-year-old demand of the Sikhs has finally been met by the Delhi government. For over a hundred years, Sikhs were made to register their marriages under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, as the Anand Marriage Act (for Sikhs) initiated during the British era of 1909, had not been implemented. This had deeply troubled many members of the Sikh community especially those who had moved abroad, as, while they identified as Sikh, their marriages were registered as “Hindu”.
This dissonance could only be resolved by enacting an exclusive marriage act for the community, rather than placing it under the “Hindu” banner. Further, many Sikhs were of the opinion that the fact that religious minorities like Sikhs and Jains were clubbed under the Hindu Marriage Act went against the secular spirit of the Indian Constitution.
So, why are we talking about Anand Marriage Act now? On 17 January 2018, Delhi Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot said that the framing of provisions under the Anand Marriage Act was in its final stage and would be notified soon, giving new hope to many Sikhs.
Sikh marriages will henceforth be registered under the Anand Marriage Act in the national capital, following the notification, the minister claimed, while addressing the press.
How Did This Act Emerge?
The Anand Marriage Act of 1909 was passed by the British Imperial (that is, Governor General) Legislative Council to establish the legal “validity of the marriage ceremony common among the Sikhs called Anand Karaj.” In 2012, the Parliament passed the Anand Marriage (Amendment) Bill, during the tenure of Manmohan Singh-led UPA government. The Bill, passed in the Budget session that year, had also received the then president Pratibha Patil’s assent. Consequently, Sikhs would be able to register their marriages under the Anand Marriage Act instead of the Hindu Marriage Act.
Although the Anand Marriage Law was enacted in 1909, there was no provision for registration of marriages and they were registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. “The Anand Marriage (Amendment) Bill, 2012, after having received the assent of the President on 7 June 2012, has been published as corresponding Act in the Gazette of India,” a Law Ministry statement had said, as reported by PTI.
Admitting that it had taken a lot of time to pursue amendments in the Anand Marriage Act, Salman Khurshid said in 2012, as reported by PTI, that this was a symbolic gesture and "we should respect the sentiments of all communities… whether Bodos or any other group."
Sikh groups have maintained that members of the community face problems abroad as their certificates are issued under the Hindu Marriage Act.
//Supporting the amended bill, Harsimrat Kaur Badal (of Shiromani Akali Dal) had said that Sikhs face problems abroad because while they identify as Sikh, their marriages are registered under the Hindu Marriage Act.//
According to the amended bill, couples whose marriages have been registered under this Act will not be required to get their marriage registered under the Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths Act, 1969 or any other law for the time being in force.
On 12 April 2012, the Union Cabinet approved amendment to the Anand Marriage Act, 1909, to provide for registration of marriages of Sikhs, as per a report by The Hindu.
In an article dated 20 October 2015 for The Indian Express, Tahir Mahmood, former chair of the National Commission for Minorities, writes that way back in 1998, while he was still chairing the aforementioned committee, he had received a demand from some Sikh leaders for their community’s members to be excluded from the Hindu personal laws of 1955-56. Mahmood told the newspaper:
“I did my best to convince them that those acts codified family law for four different communities and had been named after the predominant one among them for the sake of brevity.”
Why Is It Called ‘Hindu’ Marriage Act If It Includes Other Religious Minorities?
In 2004, a Sikh member of the BJP and Rajya Sabha, also the chairman of the commission at the time, moved a bill to amend the Anand Marriage Act of 1909. Eight years hence, in 2012, a Sikh woman scholar Birendra Kaur filed a petition in the Supreme Court, to prevent the Hindu marriage law from being applied to her community. As a result, the Supreme Court put forth the following question to the government, “Can you call it the Buddhist marriage act and apply it to the other three communities?”
The writing on the wall was clear: blatantly using the word “Hindu” in titles and provisions of four acts of 1955-56, and applying to four other religious communities as well, was against the secular spirit of the Constitution.
Kaur had said that clubbing other religious minorities under the Hindu Marriage Act banner simply negated their individual identities and with it, the constitutional right under Article 25 of each individual to practise and preach the religion of one’s choice.
While the Punjab and Haryana High Court had rejected Kaur’s petition, a Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice Altamas Kabir, and Justices SS Nijjar and J Chelameswar considered her plea and said, as per a TOI report, “Issue notice on the question as to whether the inclusion of people professing the Sikh, Jain or Buddhist faiths could be included in the enactments relating exclusively to persons professing the Hindu religion, within the ambit of Explanation II to Article 25(2) of the Constitution. Let notice be issued separately to the AG also, to be served both through the ministry of minority affairs as also through the central agency, returnable six weeks hence.”
The petitioner however, pointed out an inconsistency within the ambit of Explanation II to Article 25(2) of the Constitution: "The reference to Hindus shall be construed as including a reference to persons professing the Sikh, Jain or Buddhist religion, and the reference to Hindu religious institutions shall be construed accordingly." The petitioner argued that it would be unjust to club different religions under the banner of one (dominant) religion.
Senior advocate Colin Gonsalves had stated, as quoted by TOI: "This petition is seeking to express and make clear the frustration and disappointment of a large part of the Sikh community which feels its identity as Sikh is undermined by certain clauses and titles of certain statutes which club Sikhs under the definition of Hindu.”
How to Register Under Anand Marriage Act?
A Sikh marriage ceremony is traditionally known as the ‘Anand Karaj’, meaning ‘blissful event’. In 2014, with Haryana notifying the Anand Marriage Act, the state government also appointed officials to enable the registration of Sikh marriages. For rural areas, tehsildars were selected, while for urban areas, the designated authorities were Joint Commissioner for Municipal Corporation, Executive Officers for the Municipal Committee and Secretary of Municipal Council, reported The Pioneer. A spokesman of the state home department told the newspaper that the Anand Marriage could only be registered with the Registrar appointed to solemnise such marriages.
Accordingly, the stakeholders would have to produce two copies of a memorandum or agreement and submit the same to the Registrar along with written proof of the marriage and a registration fee of Rs 50. These submissions would have to be made within 30 days from the date of the solemnisation of the marriage. Both parties involved and at least two witnesses to the marriage would have to sign the agreement.
This is the case with Haryana. The rules for registering Sikh marriages under the act in Delhi is yet to be known.
As per a report on 12 November 2017, in The Echo of India, the union territory administration of Port Blair notified the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Anand Marriages Registration Rules 2017 to allow registration of marriages in the Sikh community under the Anand Marriage Act instead of the Hindu Marriage Act. The rules state that the Lt Governor would be the concerned official to authorise a District Registrar or a Registrar of Marriages for the demarcated areas, through a notification in the official gazette for Sikh marriages.
Current Status of Anand Marriage Act
On 17 January 2018, Delhi Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot said that the framing of provisions under the Anand Marriage Act was in its final stage and would be notified.
Sikh marriages will henceforth be registered under the Anand Marriage Act in the national capital, following the notification, the minister stated, as per a report by PTI. Fulfilling an almost 100-year-old demand of the Sikhs, Delhi is the first state in the country to implement the Anand Marriage Act for registration of Sikh marriages.
The Sikhs, whose marriages have been registered under this Act, are not required to get these registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Gahlot said, as quoted by PTI:
“We have held several meetings in the last three months. We are in the final stages to implement provisions of the Anand Marriage Act in Delhi. New Sikh marriages will be registered under this act.”
The minister’s assurance comes after BJP MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa demanded that the Delhi government implement provisions of the act in order to give the Sikh community its rights. On Sirsa’s demand, Gahlot said that the BJP leader was merely politicising the issue, as the Anand Marriage Act had already been notified by the Centre, reported PTI.
In December, a delegation of the Sikh community, led by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs, had urged the Delhi government for early implementation of the provisions of the Anand Marriage Act in the city.

On Tapestry, King’s singing, sincere and strong, is quite good in “I Feel the Earth Move,” which has a driving rhythm and engaging melody, and uses earthquake as a metaphor for a stirring love. The song is more dramatic than romantic, as it contains energy and hunger. It is followed by the ballad “So Far Away,” in the album’s regular pattern of an uptempo song followed by a ballad. One can hear a little jazz in “It’s Too Late,” a rock song about a failing relationship, the rhythms of the song matching the intensity of the situation.
Tina Turner: hair, eyes, mouth, teeth. Glowing brown skin. Breast, hips, legs. A burst of dazzling energy. Honesty and passion. Dignity and sexiness. Tough history, tougher spirit. Serenity sought and found. A new telling of a woman’s story, of an American life—and the evolution of an international artist and entertainer. In “I Might Have Been Queen,” a song that she sings with sorrow and pride, with resignation and triumph, Tina Turner looks out over time, looks at and through history, and sees no tragedy.
On Beautiful Mechanical, the title song has a nearly comic frantic energy, something the strings both soften and deepen, before going off on their own quick currency against a droning beat. The piece is actually hard to grasp, to think about, as it contains much frequently fast textured movement. “Proven Badlands,” featuring cello and horn, is slow, sonorous, and has a cinematic quality, especially in the rise of the horns in repeated phrases. The high, mellow but still sharp, soaring trumpet playing, and a three-beat rhythm, and a scraping against strings, distinguish it.
So much for failure in love. Mariah Carey’s voice can sound hammer-strong or feather-light, and she uses different parts of her voice in “Breakdown,” which opens with a man’s chanting voice (the voice, appearing in different instances in the song, makes the song nearly a duet, which is odd since most of the lyrics focus on separation). It is a song with texture—layers of sound, and rhythms going in more than one direction.
The eastern-sounding “Alabi” begins Mark de Clive-Lowe’s Renegades, followed by an invocation to dance, to communal pleasure, “Get Started,” which has chanting, and features soul singer Omar and a lot of Shelia E.’s percussion. Is the pleasure only in being together and dancing? Is there any other connection or purpose?
The music listener heard references to family, church, and school in Gaye’s work, those early educators and touchstones, the expected resources for affection and knowledge, and often what must be left behind if life is to be lived fully or honestly. Leaving them behind meant freedom—and risk, if not trouble. There is a female choral arrangement in “Pride and Joy,” and it is somewhere between male doo-wop and the call and response of a church choir.
Zara McFarlane’s voice can be really pure or take on a husky quality, and her inflections are subtle, varied, as in “Captured (part 3), a song about the memory of a woman, with a swinging rhythm. Delivered with syncopation, the lyrics of “Mama Done” suggest something ominous: “she talked herself right into the ground.” McFarlane’s voice floats in the air in the song “Until Tomorrow,” which seems to be about an impasse in a relationship that time and distance might ease. Her voice could be a sound alive on the wind, without a body.
The production quality of the Havana Cultura music is quite good; the current development of technology facilitates first-rate recording sound, no matter where one is recording, something very different from the anthropological work of decades ago. The horn sounds official, triumphalist in “La Vida Interlude,” but the beat in the song is great.
They are keepers of a tradition that includes Dewey Balfa, Michael Doucet, Feufollet, Wade Fruge, Doc Guidry, D.L. Menard, Dennis McGee, Steve Riley, and Horace Trahan. Yet Joel Savoy went on to explain that he listened to popular music: “My mom has very diverse taste in music, and we heard all kinds of stuff growing up. She used to make me mix tapes of all kinds of things like Django and Billie Holiday and lots of Cajun stuff—old-timey Cajun fiddlers, even some rock ‘n’ roll.” Savoy learned to play some of what was on those tapes; and, subsequently, he has performed with T-Bone Burnett, Allison Krauss, Steve Miller, and Linda Ronstadt.
On the album Kid Man Blues, an album recorded in Sweden, Thailand, Germany, and the United States over a period of years, Bert Deivert does the Paul Jones song “Rob and Steal,” and there’s something very head-down-and-focused about the energy in the song, as if something burning in the music matches the intensity of the scavenging character being described. Downbeat, haunted, “Come Back Baby” is a moodily dramatic request for a lover’s return, featuring blues-rock guitar (that is, Dulyasit Srabua on electric guitar and John Dooley on electric bass).

Lauren Conrad is ticked!
The star of "The Hills" recently posted on her MySpace page to clear up some stuff about her feelings for best friend Audrina Patridge and ex-BF Brody Jenner. Conrad was on the cover of Us Weekly last week to promote the new season -- and she wasn't too thrilled with parts of the article.
Lauren posted: "Hey! I just wanted to take a moment to clear something up. I recently did an interview to talk about the show coming back on and what everyone had to look forward to. Unfortunately it was turned into yet another 'poor me' story. The article itself is a nice one but it follows headlines that, in no way, represent my words or feelings. I do not feel betrayed by Audrina or Brody. I love them both and said nothing to contradict this. I understand that headlines sell magazines, but I value my friendships above magazine sales any day."
She also wrote: "On a more positive note, I got to see some of the first episode yesterday and it looks amazing."
What did Us print that bugged LC so much? Quotes like "Audrina has to remind me that she's not someone who's going to betray me." And, on Brody, "When you have that type of thing, you always have to question, 'Why wasn't I good enough?'" We're guessing that the article's headline -- "Betrayed by Brody & Audrina: How I Was Stabbed in the Back" -- didn't help.
Is LC too sensitive, or did Us Weekly go too far?

Stephanie Moseley Update
The tragic death of “Hit The Floor” star Stephanie Moseley continues to rock us to the core as more information about the events leading up to her death surface. According to new reports, Stephanie Moseley was shot and killed by her husband Earl Hayes after he went into a wrath about her alleged infidelities.
Two years ago, Moseley allegedly had a fling with singer Trey Songz and Haye’s never got over it. Sources claim he would frequently bring it up and accuse her of multiple affairs. Hayes was allegedly on Facetime with his close friend Floyd Mayweather when he took Stephanie’s life then turned the gun on himself. Floyd is in shock.

Think its a little odd that the antis are noting that society has gone in such a way that nobody, even law abiding upstanding citizens can be trusted with a gun…but Governments have gone such a way that we never need to fear tyrannical governments like The Third Reich, The USSR, China, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, the British Raj, The Sudanese Genocide, among many others.
I mean if society is going to pot, then why isn’t the rulers? If we can say “Never again will government slaughter of citizens occur on US Soil!” then why can’t we just say “Never Again” to mass shootings in the same glib fashion?
Of course the real answer lives in between. People are good, and governments as a whole don’t have desire for mass graves or sprawling prison camps. But bad people, and leaders happen from time-to-time, and either monster is afraid of armed resistance.

As always, after we wave goodbye to the dogs and cats setting off for their new lives in their forever homes, it doesn’t take long before more animals need our help. Here are some of our recent additions:
It was Liam who spotted Leo Bear searching for food. He was obviously in desperate need, and we knew that despite the shelter being full we had to take him in as he wouldn’t survive much longer on the streets. He looked in pain – his back legs had some kind of deformity. He had sores all over his body and hair loss on his ears – plus he had no road sense, and was wandering in front of oncoming traffic. Leo Bear was extremely underweight and malnourished, with a bad flea infestation.
We tried to make friends by feeding him, and after a couple of hours managed to get a lead on him. We had volunteer Leanne Walsh with us at the time, and at one point Leo Bear just sunk his head into her lap.
Tony and Diane made a safe place for him at the house, treated him for fleas and worms, and he began eating and drinking well.
Once some time has passed and he is stronger he will go to the vets to assess the condition of his back legs. Right now he is happy, enjoying cuddles and food, taking himself for mooches round the garden.
JUDY & TEARDROP
Near the shelter we feed at least 5 feral cats at the bins. On one of our visits we found someone had dumped a mother cat and her two kittens.
They were coming under attack from the feral cats – one kitten was already dead, and the mother was fighting off the feral cats, trying to protect herself and her other kitten. The mother was only a baby herself. We buried the kitten that died, and put the mother and her baby in the car.
Both cats are very friendly, we can tell they are used to human contact. They are now doing well at the shelter, flea treated, wormed and fed.
The mother is called Judy and her kitten is Teardrop.
A lady came to the shelter and asked if we could take this little one in. How could the lads refuse!
We were asked to take in Peanut, and were shown an old scar on his back leg. He obviously had problems with his legs, but we were not sure if they were broken or not. First chance we got we took him to the vets, and after x-rays it became clear both back legs had been broken just below the hips and where the scar is. The vet told us he must have been just four weeks old when the damage was done, so the poor little thing has had broken back legs for three months.
Despite all this Peanut is such a happy, playful, loving kitten. He has become best friends with another of our kittens, Vincent.
To find out more about all the dogs and cats in our care looking for their forever homes, please visit our web site: http://www.streetdogrescue.com.
Oh my, if Shakira still needs a sponsor and we don’t have a new sponsor dog yet after Hugsy found his forever home, please put us down for her! What a darling! Tina
Sure thing! Thanks for your continued support x
Thank you! Thanks for all the good work you do!
just donated, please use as you see fit. when it comes to making animals happy, simple is better, and human love for them is the nourishment they most need. feel free to contact me with more of your needs. I wish we could help more, but in the future we can send more. I wish I wasn’t so far away so I could visit, and lend a hand.
Please send me anything electronically (photos and stories) so I know what is happening, it could become a long time relationship between my wallet and you formerly lost souls,

The ports of the Adriatic area represent one of the main gates linking Continental Europe towards Asia and Southern Mediterranean regions and these ports need to increase port efficiency and productivity rates. A real better performance can be achieved by introducing a better organisation of the port operations and smart ICT systems capable to smoothing the interfaces between modes and operators. Another priority area of intervention to achieve a better efficiency appear to be the administrative treatment of ships.
The European Commission has expressed in different documents its support to the “single window” systems, in order to manage tasks as the clearance of documents and controls by the relevant administrations. “The improvement of the shipshore communications, contacts with the previous port of call and port-logistics software involving both public and private stakeholders will allow for the development of port integrated systems. They will improve clearance of goods, better planning, faster transfer to inland transport, reduce pressure on port space, and be a key tool for seafarers, ship, port services and planning” (Communication on a European Ports Policy COM(2007)616).
The Adriatic Port Community (APC) project (within the framework of the IPA Adriatic Cross-border cooperation programme) aims to foster information exchange among ports in the Adriatic/Ionian Sea area.
The APC project develops a system based on the principle of the “Single Window”,namely a facility that allows parties involved in trade and transport to lodge standardized information and documents with a single entry point to fulfill all import, export, and transit-related regulatory requirements.
The system also enables easy exchange of information stored and managed by local Port Community systems in each of the ports involved in the initiative: Venice (Italy), Ploče (Croatia) and Igoumenitsa (Greece).
The project involves the development and deployment of relevant ICT infrastructure both on local level (for each Port’s Community System) as well as a central switching infrastructure for exchange of electronic messages to and from eligible participating stakeholders and port services involved in each transaction.
The development of the local Port Community System in Port of Igoumenitsa in Greece covers the following functional areas:
- Management of Vessel Departure and Arrival: both for purposes of compliance with international and European regulations concerning information about the arrival and departure of the vessel as well as the coordination and management of available berths at the Port of Igoumenitsa in Greece
- Managing Customs Operations: to improve computerization and communication with Customs Authorities and the provision of the possibility of timely information to Port Authority of any problems or outstanding issues in relation to their requirements
- Management of parking space: to provide the optimal management of the available parking space but also provide value-added services to Port customers.
At the same time, the respective information is exchanged through standard interfaces and via the relative Single window infrastructure, to other Port Community Systems in the Adriatic Area and their users (all involved stakeholders in port operations).
The project aims at improving the effectiveness of the procedures for the clearance of freight flows in port areas, through the design, development and testing of a support instrument for ship arrival and departure, customs clearance and cargo logistics.

Teacher begins new quest ... to be a principal
By Phyllis Moore
Published in News on June 8, 2006 1:48 PM
It might very well be that Terry Hines' inability to be bossed around brought her to the threshold on which she now stands -- preparing to become a boss herself.
Mrs. Hines, 45, recently became the recipient of a $40,000 scholarship covering two years of training as a school principal.
Awarded through the N.C. Principal Fellow program, the award is similar to the Teaching Fellow model. If she works in a school system for four years, in her case as a principal, Mrs. Hines will not have to repay the college loan.
But there is nothing traditional about the way she reached this career crossroads, first as a teacher and now as a potential administrator.
Married to her high school sweetheart, Scott, for a time the couple owned and operated Hines Grocery at Casey's Mill Road in the Dudley area. Becoming parents contributed to some of her future plans.
"That's one reason I was interested in working in the school system," she says now. "When they got a little older, I could be where they were."
Little did she know how far it would take her.
When son Brandon, now 20, started kindergarten at Brogden Primary School, she became a volunteer in his class, with daughter Brandy, now 19, in tow.
She later got her license to drive a school bus. She also filled in wherever needed -- classroom, cafeteria, school office before setting her sights on being a teacher assistant.
"One day I put up a bulletin board -- this was actually the turning point. I was tickled with it. It had 3-D trees," she recalls. "When the class came back from lunch, I asked how the teacher liked it. She wanted me to move one of my trees."
It was at that moment, Mrs. Hines says, that she realized she would rather take charge than take orders.
All that stood in her way was an education of her own. Lacking a college education, she said that evidently "the Lord was guiding me through" as she learned there was a newly formed weekend program being offered at Barton College in Wilson.
With both children in school, she decided to enroll. She was 31 years old.
"I didn't have SAT scores or transfer credits or anything," she said. "But they accepted me into the program."
Husband Scott became "weekend baby-sitter," he said.
"When she took night classes, I didn't like the idea of her riding back and forth by herself. We would all go, including the two kids, drop her off, go get some barbecue, go to a movie, pick her up and come back home," he said.
Her third year in the program, Mrs. Hines became pregnant again. Delivering Mykayla, now 11, accounted for the only time she would be absent.
"I had a caesarian, so I picked a weekend I didn't have classes, so I didn't have to miss much," she said.
Juggling motherhood with a job as teacher assistant, she maintained a 3.37 grade point average. In 1998, she received her bachelor's degree.
Her first position was at Brogden Middle School, where she taught sixth grade. In 2000, when Mykayla started school, she transferred to Brogden Primary. She taught third grade for two years before taking on a fourth-grade class.
The notion of becoming a principal was somewhat unexpected.
"I was happy teaching, (I thought) I could never be a principal," she said. "But then I got bossed around. I don't like to be bossed around, evidently."
With a college loan to repay, she learned she could defer that if she returned to school.
"I thought that would be too much and work, too," she said. But then she heard about the Principal Fellow program.
She applied for the program in the 2003-04 school year, but did not get accepted.
"From the application, I learned that I didn't have enough good stuff in to make myself look good," she said.
So she set out to prove herself.
"In the next couple of years, I started doing things -worked with the principal, applied for grants for the school, became a team leader, led various committees, headed the summer school a couple of years. All of this benefited me when I filled out the application last year," she said.
It paid off. The acceptance letter came in the mail on March 31, the day before Mrs. Hines' birthday.
Hines intercepted the mail when he arrived home early.
"I thought, 'How can I make this special?'" he said. With letter in hand, he enlisted the help of the assistant principal in breaking the news.
"I thought we'd call Terry on the intercom, call her to the office," he said. "She said, 'I can do better than that' and called all the fourth grade teachers and students to the cafeteria. They all thought they were in trouble for something."
"You know that the assistant principal doesn't come on the intercom in the middle of teaching and call you to the cafeteria ASAP," Mrs. Hines said.
The public announcement served two purposes, Hines said. It recognized his wife's personal accomplishment, while sending students the message that "if you work real hard, this is what can happen to you," he said.
Mrs. Hines will now take a two-year leave of absence -- June 13 is her last day as a teacher -- in preparation for the next step in her career.
Her feelings are mixed, she admits. There is some apprehension, but mostly an excitement about continuing to work with children.
"They are the reason behind it," she said. "As a teacher, I can affect only so many lives.
"I see myself as a principal, being more involved in the lives of children, getting what they need and having a chance at a successful life."
Being a teacher has been rewarding, although challenging at times, "especially with all our new laws of testing," she said.
And while she might not have taken the traditional route to get there, she said she has enjoyed cultivating some good ideas along the way. She said she hopes to one day work with students considered at-risk.
"I just think that I could do well for them. My goal is not so much for the schools per se with the upper level kids. I'm looking at the at-risk kids so that they can get out, be successful and do something one day," she said.

At UFC 292, former middleweight champion Chris Weidman returned to the Octagon against a tough veteran in Brad Tavares. The community had last seen him snap his leg in horrific fashion against Uriah Hall. The injury added to a long list of surgeries and recoveries for “The All-American.” With Weidman’s best days seemingly already behind him, many wondered if he would ever make the walk again.
Weidman v Hall– image, Reuters
Chris has repeatedly expressed his belief in his ability to be champion once again. Although his determination is admirable, almost no one in the community realistically shared his belief. Since his championship reign, Weidman had already suffered a series of devastating defeats. Furthermore, at his current age, fans wondered what form he would show up in. Even without the complications from his latest injury, Weidman’s title hopes seemed bleak.
During the fight, Weidman’s leg proved to be problematic. The former champion looked understandably hesitant to kick or take kicks to his injured leg. Tavares wasted no time in punishing this weakness. Weidman attempted to use his wrestling strength, but Tavares easily defended his takedowns. Chris certainly had moments of success with his boxing, particularly in the second round. However, ultimately Tavares stayed composed and outworked Weidman to win the decision.

Although Weidman showed tremendous courage to even step back into the Octagon, he looked clearly diminished. He looked noticeably slower than he had prior to the injury. As a result, he struggled to implement the wrestling skills which once brought him championship success. To his credit, he went the distance and absorbed heavy kicks. However, the fight all but confirmed that his championship aspirations were effectively extinguished.
Even in defeat, Weidman continues to believe that he can become a champion once again. As such, he has stated that he plans to continue fighting. UFC President Dana White, on the other hand, has urged Weidman to retire. Similarly, many fans and experts have also called for the former champion’s retirement. After all, Weidman has already reached the pinnacle of the sport. If he continues, he is likely to suffer even more losses and potentially risks permanent bodily injury. On these facts, one could easily conclude that Weidman should retire.

However, there is something to be said for Weidman’s championship mindset. After all, no one becomes a champion by giving in to voices of doubt. Weidman in particular has built a career off of overcoming the odds. He had to dethrone the legendary Anderson Silva to win his championship belt. So even if Weidman’s beliefs seem delusional, they deserve respect. And no matter what he chooses to do in the future, his legacy will endure forever.

Adherence to anti-hypertensive medication regimens among patients attending the G.P.H.A. Hospital in Takoradi - Ghana.
Background: Adherence is the extent to which a person’s medication-taking behaviour coincides with the healthcare providers’ medical advice. It includes both dosing regularity and timing of intake. Many physicians face the problem of non-adherence among their hypertensive patient population. During the first year of treatment 16 – 50% of patients stop taking their high blood pressure medications. Overall, it is estimated that only about 30 – 50% of patients with hypertension adhere precisely to their hypertension medication regimens. Adherence is important in the treatment of hypertension Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the extent of non-adherence to hypertensive medication regimen in G.P.H.A. Hospital, Takoradi. The reasons for non-adherence in the study were also evaluated. Methods: A prospective study of 150 hypertensive patients on medication for at least 6 months, who reported at the OPD of this hospital, was carried out. The Morisky questionnaire was administered to the patients and reasons for non-adherence sought. Pregnancy related hypertensive patients were excluded in this study. Results: The study revealed that total adherence to anti-hypertensive medications regimens was 19.3% and partial or medium adherence was 49.3%. Hence the adherence rates (i.e. those who took their medications ≥ 75%) to anti-hypertensive medicines in the institution was 68.6% and the non-adherence rate was 31.4%. The major reasons for non-adherence were forgetfulness (45.4%) by the patient to take medications on time or missed doses and side effects of the medications (20.8%). Finance (10.4% was also a problem for the paying patients who have to make up-front payment to re-fill their medicines. Conclusion: The prevalence of adherence among hypertensive patients in this health facility was 68.6%. Thus, indicating the need for adherence counselling.

The magic of this Lake District of India is beyond what one could expect which lies in its origin.
A Short-Trip To History Of Nainital Before Visiting Its Top Places
Just break down the word ‘Nainital’ and you would get the idea behind its formation. It has two words Nain which means eyes and Tal which is a lake in Hindi. But there is more than this Hindi translation. The city is formed around an emerald shape lake which is the shape of an eye.
As per the mythological story, this Himalayan resort town is formed by the left eye of Sati that fell while Lord Shiva was carrying her charred body. Another story says three saints dip a hole in the land to quench their thirst which led to the formation of the Lake. It was later mentioned as Tri-Rishi-Sarovar which is now Nainital.
The modern theory behind its formation suggests it was founded by a sugar trader in the 1800s. The man initially got lost in the hills and found a placid lake. Soon it captured the eyes of other Britishers who built bungalows, houses, schools, and other facilities and settled here.

Let’s face it cold and flu season is coming. So far we have all been healthy in our home but it’s only a matter of time before we get hit. I know that as Noble gets older and spends more time playing with other kids he is learning to share toys but that also means sharing bugs.
With a two year old it’s impossible to stay germ free, especially because Noble likes to suck his thumb, and who knows what he has touched before putting it in his mouth. Thankfully we have been able to avoid getting sick because I put a strong focus on prevention.
At the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) we know how important prevention especially this time of year. It’s officially NHP Week or as we like to say at CHFA a week of healthy a lifetime of health.
So to help keep everyone healthy and happy and to celebrate NHP Week we identified the four pillars of optimal health and happiness; nutrition, exercise, sleep and mindfulness. Below you will find a brief overview of each pillar and why each is so important. You can find even more information at chfa.ca
Lack of proper nutrition has been linked to decreased immunity and increased risk of illness. Which is why getting proper nutrition is important all year-round, but especially during cold and flu season when our immune systems are working overtime. That’s why it’s essential to eat a balanced diet rich in healthy and organic whole foods as much as possible, and to supplement with NHPs when necessary.
Our immune system not only depends on macronutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and fat to build antibodies, we also need micronutrients like folic acid, vitamins A, C, E, B6, and minerals including copper, zinc, selenium and iron.
In additional to getting these macro and micro nutrients there are some specific foods that have been proven to help boost the immune system, nuts, kimchi, garlic and reishi mushrooms are all foods that you should incorporate into your daily diet during the winter.
We all know how important exercise is, but it’s especially important this time of year. Unfortunately as the temperature starts to drop a lot of us want to go into hibernation which means even less physical activity than normal. It’s important to fight the urge to say sedentary because engaging in 30 to 60 minutes of moderate exercise daily can actually improve your body’s immune response.
Research suggests that exercise can protect your immune system from certain illnesses by flushing out bacteria from your lungs and airways, improving circulation, causing mild fluctuations in body temperature to fight infection and releasing stress-reducing endorphins. In fact, a recent study found that daily brisk walks can cut your number of sick days by more than half, so get a quick break in during your workday and get outside.
Evidence continues to grow even stronger in showing that sleep plays a critical role in enhancing our immune defences and that our immune system may actually be correlated with our sleep patterns. For example, getting insufficient sleep has been linked to obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular problems. In fact, sleep deprivation can impact the activity of our immune cells, making it difficult for your body to identify and fight cold and flu bugs. Yet many of us are not getting enough. The percentage of adults who sleep less than six hours per night is currently greater than at any other time on record.
I recently conducted the below interview on BT Calgary where I talked about the importance of sleep and some natural health products that you might want to consider especially if you are having problems falling and staying asleep.
Mindfulness is the art of awareness. Becoming present to what is actually happening right now, both internally and externally. Practising mindfulness has a number of positive impacts on the immune system, including reducing inflammation markers and stress hormones, and has also been shown to increase some immune cells and improve activity in the areas of the brain responsible for co-ordinating the immune system.
Incorporating mindfulness into your lifestyle can actually help to minimize the occurrence, length and severity of the flu or common cold. Some aspects of mindfulness can be simple to include in your everyday routine, such as paying attention to your breathing, tuning into your body’s physical sensations and practising mindful meditation.
Together, nutrition, exercise, sleep and mindfulness all play an important role in keeping your immune system strong and ready to fight off bugs when they attack. Ensuring you are following all four pillars will keep you and your family happy and healthy this winter.
How do you keep yourself and your family healthy during cold and flu season? What do you do when they do get sick? Please share your comments below.

Fight Breakdown: Vitali Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter
By Zhenyu Li, photo by Y.Nesterenko -- In perhaps the best clash the heavyweight division could produce, for the time being, and a fight that could possibly shape the division's future landscape, the emeritus WBC champion Vitali Klitschko is attempting to make a spectacular return on Saturday following a 46-month hiatus from the ring when he squares off against the current WBC titleholder Samuel Peter at the O2 World Arena in Berlin, Germany.
Article posted on 10.10.2008
As an independent Chinese boxing scribe on the roster of ESB, I'll try to break down the fight in an unbiased fashion, in terms of strengths and weaknesses of both fighters and the predicted outcome.
Advantages: Physique: One of the most imposing presences in the current heavyweight scene, Vitali Klitschko has 7 inches' edge in height and 3 inches' advantage in reach over the Nigerian mauler, which stands out as a major factor in any fistic battle..
Overall skill set: "Dr. Ironfist" is more of a technically sound boxer. He has an above-the-average defense combined with a tremendous straight right over his thudding jab, which he's more than willing to unleash, compared with his meticulous younger brother.
Home court advantage: Fighting in Berlin, his second home town, Vitali will take up the glove in an arena packed with his supportive roaring fans 10 times more than the Nigerian reining titlist.
Disadvantages: Long hiatus: Coming off from a 46-month layoff, and then attempting to pick up where he left off, whatever the former champion bragging about his "well-preserved condition", no one truly knows what the former champion will look like in a real battle until he touches gloves with Peter. Remember, Muhammad Ali was not the same fighter when he came back 25 months after outpointing Leon Spinks to reclaim the WBC title Vitali is now aiming at.
Advantages: Power: Although the once mighty "Nigerian Nightmare" who came out of nowhere, knocking out 21 of his first 24 opponents, has managed to halt only two fighters in his last seven bouts, there is still fire within his two gloves.
Heart/Chin: The toughness Peter showed in the ring is just exceptional. Despite the fact that he was floored three times by the "Big Time" McCline, the sturdy brawler has never been stopped in his whole career and tasted canvas solely in this fight. In his last slugfest against Oleg Maskaev, Peter held up well after taking a fair bit of forceful punches from the former champ before storming back with a flurry of powerful shots to claim the victory in the sixth.
Age: At a fresh age of 28, Peter is now in his prime while the old lion, 37, has ridden on a twilight train.
Disadvantages: Lack of technique: Peter is a simple-minded one dimensional fighter who always comes straightforward and throws nothing but bombs, leaving him vulnerable to counter attacks.
Stamina: In recent years, endurance remains an issue in some of Peter's fights, especially in his first confrontation against James Toney, in which he looked bulky and lethargic. This could be fatal in the upcoming tussle in that for him to pierce through Vitali's long arms and actually land something meaningful, which would be a draining process both physically and mentally, Peter truly needs to play a high-energy game.
If this fight takes place three years ago right after Vitali knocked out Danny Williams, who happened to be almost the same size and style as Peter, I think everyone would favor the all-around Ukrainian. Yet now, with Vitali's 46-month hiatus, neither fighter would walk away with the triumph in a dominant fashion.
Odds can be found in the challenger's favor should he use his height, reach and style to his full advantage. But if he fails to pull it off and is betrayed by his brittle body, Peter will have a genuine puncher's chance.

Based on the hit Dr. Seuss book, 'The Grinch' is heading to cinemas this November, and as you can see in the latest teaser, the green-furred meanie is taking over from Santa in a bid "to steal Christmas".
The grouchy green grump took time out of his busy schedule to break down his latest trailer for us.
The Grinch is back for a new big screen outing and he’s still got it in for Christmas. Benedict Cumberbatch is voicing the classic Dr. Seuss character in this new adventure from Illumination, the animation studio that brought you Despicable Me, Sing, and Minions. Here’s the official synopsis: The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit.
Benedict Cumberbatch has switched up his look to play Vote Leave campaign manager Dominic Cummings for a new TV one-off drama. The Channel 4 TV movie, which currently has the working title Brexit, will focus on the data-driven political campaign during the EU referendum, including the "myriad tactics employed to swing one of the most surprising referendum results in living memory". Filming has begun on what's been promised to be an "explosive and illuminating" Brexit thriller, directed by Toby Haynes, who's worked on the likes of Sherlock, Black Mirror, and Doctor Who.
A look at what makes Patrick Melrose such unmissable television and what you can expect from Benedict Cumberbatch's terrific new vehicle.
Benedict Cumberbatch called his Sherlock co-star Martin Freeman “pathetic” for complaining about the attention from fans of the hit TV show. Cumberbatch plays Sherlock Holmes in the BBC drama, while Mr Freeman portrays his assistant, Dr Watson. In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Cumberbatch disagreed, labelling his colleague's unhappiness "pathetic".
Benedict Cumberbatch's Marvel hero will face off against this classic villain, as well as former ally Baron Mordo, if the screenwriters get their way.
The cast and filmmakers have been posting a steady stream of set photos that offer tantalizing glimpses as the stars and the sets. We collected the best of the bunch here for you to flip through.
Marvel Studios proved its moviemaking formula remains second to none with Doctor Strange, the media giant’s latest triumphant attempt at adapting one of its comic-book characters for the big screen. Scott Derrickson’s film was a critical and commercial ($660 million) smash, and as is so often the case with Marvel movies, Doctor Strange concludes with more than a few hints as to the future direction of its protagonist — namely, to adventure with the God of Thunder in this fall’s Thor: Ragnarok, and then to battle alongside the Avengers in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War.
Doctor Strange has cast a spell over the UK box office, beating the opening weekends for both ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’. It made a sturdy £5.2 million over the weekend, bringing its current total in the UK to £9.1 million since it opened on Tuesday last week. ...
Benedict Cumberbatch thinks Doctor Strange could be the man to unify the fractured Avengers after the events of ‘Captain America: Civil War’ left Earth’s mightiest heroes divided into camps of Team Captain America or Team Iron Man. The British ‘Sherlock’ star, who makes his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in ‘Doctor Strange’ this week, believes Strange’s unique position in the world of magic will put him in a great position to mediate each side’s disagreements. “I think [Doctor Strange] has to be Team Doctor Strange,” Cumberbatch explains to Yahoo Movies.
‘Doctor Strange’ hits UK cinemas this week and as always with Marvel Cinematic Universe films there are a couple of extra scenes hidden away at the end, so stay in your seats until the house lights come up.
Benedict Cumberbatch is great as the sorceror supreme, but did you know there was a failed 1978 CBS TV pilot about the Doctor? We find out more.
More than ever, artistry on movie posters feels like a bygone era, as formulaic blockbusters receive the formulaic posters they deserve. What is up with these 10 terrible and predictable poster trends?
Fans of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas will have to wait a little longer for Illumination and Universal’s remake as the studio has announced the film’s release will be pushed back to 2018.
The Universal presentation, which focused largely on Illumination projects, debuted the first trailer for The Girl on the Train and a new Jason Bourne trailer. Universal’s presentation at CinemaCon committed a significant amount of time to the studio’s Illumination Entertainment projects, announcing that Benedict Cumberbatch will star in the new animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas film, which hits theaters on Nov. 10, 2017. Illumination Entertainment CEO Chris Meledandri also announced that South Park co-creator Trey Parker, who has not done voice work in anything other his own projects, will voice the new villain in Despicable Me 3. The character, called Balthazar Bratt, is a former child star who is obsessed with the character he played in the ’80s.

Debt drives three more Vidarbha farmers to suicide
Nagpur: Driven to desperation in the face of rising poverty and falling cotton prices, three more debt-ridden farmers in Maharashtra`s Vidarbha region have ended their lives, an activist said Friday.
Gajanan Thorat of Garmmahsal in Washim district, Kamalabai Chavan of Wadner and Gajanan Ghotekar of Kothoda in Yavatmal district took their lives between Thursday and Friday, said Kishor Tiwari of the Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti.
The farmers took their lives because of a sudden fall in cotton prices due to export restrictions and because they had not received any financial relief from the government, Tiwari told IANS.
One of the farmers blamed the Congress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) government in the state, he said.
Ghotekar wrote in his suicide note: "Don`t vote for the Congress-Nationalist Congress Party... They will destroy this country."
According to Tiwari, the Maharashtra government last December had declared a relief package of Rs 2,000 crore for the cotton farmers. "But till date, not a single paisa has been paid to the distressed farmers who continue to reel under debts."
The farmers were then hit by stringent exports conditions which led to a fall in prices of raw cotton from Rs 4,200 to Rs 3,400 per quintal, he said.
Tiwari said that when India produced 33-million bales of cotton and only 20 million bales were used domestically, "there is no reason to impose export restrictions".
Suicides have been frequent in the region with as many as 918 Vidarbha farmers ending their lives in 2011 because of the agrarian crisis.

WORKING AS A photojournalist, I’ve had assignments to photograph stories about the maritime industry throughout the years. But, it wasn’t until recently that I learned about the opportunities available in this field for young people, including Highline School District’s new Maritime High School. Many of the jobs can pay more than the state average, especially with postsecondary training, certificate programs and apprenticeship programs with local unions.
While researching this week’s cover story on the industry — and shadowing some of the talented women who in work in maritime — I learned about several Northwest initiatives started to help the industry become more welcoming, inclusive and safe.
Elma Burnham, of Bellingham, created Strength of the Tides in 2017 to “support, celebrate and empower women, trans and genderqueer people on the water.” Burnham created a workplace safety pledge — that more than 500 people have signed — to commit to “work toward an industry that is free of sexual assault.”
Elizabeth Simenstad, a Seattle resident and tugboat captain-in-training, started the nonprofit Sea Sisters — a community promoting the recruitment and retention of women in maritime. Their website and social media channels serve as a resource for careers and advancement, a place for women to develop networks and a space for mentorship and support — including resources for survivors of sexual assault and sexual harassment at sea.
British Columbia’s Buki Hough, an assistant manager of marine personnel at Seaspan, started the Melanated Mariners Instagram page in February to showcase and celebrate Black excellence within the North American maritime industry.
Hough started working at a Vancouver Island maritime college in 2014, and she soon became involved with forums addressing the lack of women and Indigenous maritime workers. After the murder of George Floyd, Hough says something “clicked” inside her to address her own experience of often being the only Black woman in meetings, and the lack of conversation about the underrepresentation of the Black community in the maritime industry.
“There wasn’t a lot of the maritime industry addressing issues related to racism, anti-racism, the Black experience within the industry, so I felt it was about time somebody stood up and started having those conversations,” she says. “My biggest hope is that young, Black people come to the page, see themselves represented in the people that we feature, and have that thought, ‘Oh wow, I can do this. I belong in this industry.’ “

Sugar cookies, chocolate cookies, peanut butter cookies, oatmeal cookies, candy-stuffed cookies… the holidays are a great excuse to indulge in all of your favorite cookie flavors. It's great to sample and taste them all, but it's not always as easy to find time to make every Christmas cookie you're craving.
This one simple cookie dough recipe can be transformed into 5 different flavors—and shaped 5 different ways!—with just a few additions from your pantry. Whether you're new to holiday baking or a cookie enthusiast who needs a little time-saving help this month, this recipe is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
Chocolate Dough: Reduce the amount of powdered sugar to 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) and whisk 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder into the flour mixture.
Peanut butter dough: Reduce the amount of butter to 8 tablespoons (1 stick) and beat 6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (do not use natural peanut butter that might separate into the dough before adding the egg. Add 1-2 tablespoons milk after stirring in the flour to moisten the dough as needed and prevent it from crumbling.
Oatmeal-orange dough: Whisk 1/2 cup quick oats into the flour and replace the vanilla extract with orange extract.
Crunchy peppermint dough: Replace the vanilla extract with mint extract, and stir 6 crushed candy canes into the dough after adding the flour.
Shaping and decorating
To make cookie icing: Stir 4 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until the sugar is completely incorporated. Add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the icing reaches a still-thick but spreadable consistency. Divide into smaller bowls to add food coloring, if desired, and use immediately. Once spread on the cookies, the icing will harden in about an hour.
To make slice and bake cookies: Divide the dough into 4 pieces and shape each piece into a rough log shape on a long piece of plastic wrap. Use the plastic wrap to roll the dough into a 2-inch log. Freeze for 1 hour or refrigerate overnight for best results when cutting. Slice the cold dough into 1/4-inch rounds and bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
To make snowballs: Roll pieces of dough between your palms to form 1-inch balls. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cookies are matte and just starting to crack at the tops. Pour about 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a medium bowl. One at a time, coat the warm cookies in the powdered sugar, then cool completely on a rack. Toss the cooled cookies in the powdered sugar one more time to give them a final coat of sugar.
To make linzer-style sandwich cookies: Roll out the chilled dough as noted above for the decorated sugar cookies and stamp out circles with a round or fluted cookie cutter. For half the circles, stamp out an opening in the center of the cookie with a smaller round or fluted cookie cutter. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then cool completely on a rack. Spread 1/2 to 1 teaspoon icing, jam, or melted chocolate on the flat cookies. Top with the cutout cookies and gently press together.
To make crosshatch cookies: Roll pieces of dough between your palms to form 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet and flatten with a fork, using the tines to press down on the cookie. Press the fork into the cookie perpendicular to your first set of lines to create the signature crosshatch pattern. Bake for 15-20 minutes, just until the cookies start to turn golden on the bottoms. Cool completely on a rack.

Can We Give Florida Back to Spain?
Spain, come collect your land, please. Florida has got to go.
George Zimmerman got off scot-free for killing an unarmed teenager, Trayvon Martin, after suspecting him of being up to no good so much that Zimmerman called 911, pursued Trayvon (while carrying a loaded gun, which he wasn’t supposed to have on him in his capacity as Neighborhood watchman), ignored the dispatcher’s instruction for Zimmerman to stay in his car and let the police handle it, and then initiated a confrontation with Trayvon, who was scared of someone following him at 7:16p on February 26, 2012. This ended with an alleged fight that started on the sidewalk and ended on the grass with Zimmerman alleging that Trayvon beat him up enough to bloody Zimmerman’s face, yet Trayvon had none of Zimmerman’s DNA on him at the morgue and Zimmerman’s hands and jacket were clear of any substance. Oh, and since then, Zimmerman has not shown regret for killing a child. Even if it’s in self-defense, wouldn’t you show some remorse for taking the life of someone? People I know who have killed for self-defense do not enjoy talking about it. They still are a bit reflective of having to take someone’s life, even if it was justified. Zimmerman? Nothing. Just that it was “God’s will” that he was the one to kill Trayvon.
It took 3 weeks for the Sanford Police Department to arrest George Zimmerman for this case. They were going to let him go for Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” Law, which they said they wouldn’t apply in this case, but the jury went ahead and considered it in their deliberations anyway, for good measure. It took black people to make the media pay attention to what happened, and I ultimately think that this trial was a farce to placate the media and the Martin family and the prosecution had no intention of getting their verdict for a ridiculous Second-degree Murder charge.
For everyone saying that I can’t separate facts from emotion, I can. Facts showed that the prosecution didn’t care enough to close holes in the story or try hard enough to show Zimmerman’s background, which is done for every other black person on trial for anything from murder to stealing a pack of Certs from the bodega. Facts show that there are holes in Zimmerman’s story. Facts show that at least one juror was so confused (Juror B37) over the case and case law that she believed Zimmerman’s story from the beginning and never once considered Trayvon’s side of things – and even said Zimmerman “went too far,” which, ma’am, is manslaughter. She also said that she would trust Zimmerman to be the head of her own Neighborhood Watch now that “he’s learned his lesson.” She also signed a book deal yesterday to discuss the trial from her and her lawyer husband’s perspective that was rescinded by the publisher, thanks to the work of @MoreAndAgain’s (on Twitter) quick work making a Change.org petition to stop the book from being made. And all this was done before Anderson Cooper’s show aired for the second time in the same night. Good job, Twitter! (I now hear of a rumor that Juror B37’s husband actually knows Zimmerman defense attorney Mark O’Mara. Also, if you’re writing a book about the trial from the perspective of your time on the jury and your husband’s perspective…that’s just odd. You weren’t supposed to talk to him about it. You were sequestered. What relevant information could he add to your perspective from your time serving during the trial?)
Facts didn’t justify a Murder 2 conviction, but they did bolster a manslaughter charge or aggravated assault, which was shoehorned in at the end, instead of the beginning, by a prosecution team who did not do all it could to rightfully present a case for a boy who was murdered while trying to get back home to watch a basketball game. Even considering Zimmerman’s four versions of the same story, I can’t see how it happened his way. And I don’t apologize for that.
Considering the fact that Floridians elected Rick Scott, assume that all welfare recipients (perceived to be mostly minorities, which isn’t the case) must use drugs (the law was stopped), the long voting lines, and the cases of Marissa Alexander, George Zimmerman, and probably soon-to-be-scot-free-killer Michael Dunn (the case of Jordan B. Davis, who Dunn said defied his order and was at a loss over what to do when Jordan disobeyed his order, thus he had to kill him for playing “thug music”) , I just don’t have confidence that Florida cares about justice anymore. If you look at the laws, it’s a wonder that anyone can actually be charged with murder in the state…unless you’re a white man, then chances are good that you’ll get away with it. Spain, please come and get your colony any time you’re ready. We’re about done with it.
Race played a factor here in Zimmerman’s actions, and he can deny it all he wants. If he saw a blond white boy walking home in a hoodie, there would have been no altercation. YES, I CAN ASSUME THAT! Race played a factor here because blacks are perceived to be more violent than other racial groups in America, yet 84% of killings of white people happen by other white people. That’s a very high number, considering most people in America are white. It “looks” worse for blacks because we mostly live concentrated in urban areas while whites do not.
And people, I’m not saying YOU’RE racist or that I don’t like you just because I’m making an honest opinion about race. An unarmed teenage boy is dead at the hands of a man who had 4 different versions of events from that night who was on a personal vigilante mission of “justice”. And, for now, nothing is being done to right that wrong.

|Hawksmoor (1985) [Novel]|
by Peter Ackroyd
Rating: Weighted - 5.8 / Average - 4.0 of 10 (1 votes) (Rate!)
Reviews: None (show them) Review!
(From the publisher):
In eighteenth century London, architect Nicholas Dyer is at work building churches. Unlike his colleague Christopher Wren, who embraces the scientific optimism of the Age of Reason, Dyer is obsessed with a darker view of human nature, which determines the course of his life and work. His present-day alter ego, a Scotland Yard detective significantly named Nicholas Hawksmoor, is investigating a series of murders which have occured on the sites of certain eighteenth-century churches in London. Like Dyer before him, he is wracked with doubts and on the verge of mental disintegration.
In two, dramatic, mirroring stories that unforgettably evoke two eras, Peter Ackroyd has given us an extraordinarily powerful novel of detection and revelation.
