I have developed an insane craving for liu sha bao. Loosely translated, it means “flowing sand bun”. It’s really a Chinese steamed bun filled with oozing salted egg filling. My colleague introduced it to me one day when he bought a box of 20 to share in office. One bite into it and and I fell in love. This is my new favourite dessert.
I did a quick google search and found a list of recommendations of places that sold liu sha baos. since it’s a steamed bun, most of these places are invariably dim sum restaurants. The ones that my colleague bought are from Victor’s Kitchen (Sunshine Plaza) and they are amazingly good. Some reviews didn’t think they were very good because the salted egg filling is supposed to ooze out when you break the buns open, perhaps coz when served at the restaurant it’s not very hot? but both times i ate it, I tossed it into the microwave oven for a quick heat up and the filling was bubbling hot.
If there is an art to eating liu sha bao, it must be piercing the bun open with your thumbs and watching the hot yellow yumminess burst out. but be careful though, these baos (from Victor’s Kitchen) spat and spilled all over the place. I had to balance the yolk-like filling between 2 halves of the bao skin like egg yolk between 2 cracked halves of a shell. Victor’s Kitchen baos 4/5
but because Victor’s Kitchen is not in the most accessible of places (especially with the road closure at Bencoolen street now), I decided to try the baos from other restaurants. These yellow baos are from Crystal Jade Kitchen. I wandered past the Holland Village branch and popped in to ask if they had liu sha baos. To my joy they did so I bought 6 of them (3 for $3.75).
When I slowly tore the bun open and was rather disappointed. Firstly the doughy part of the bun was more like Chinese steamed cake (the kind mostly used in Chinese prayers or rituals) and less like the steamed buns served at dim sum restaurants. Hence, the bun was thicker and wetter than normal. The salted egg filling was thicker too so it didn’t flow out much. the salted egg taste was overpowering, not a fine balance of milk, butter and salted egg. Crystal Jade liu sha bao 1/5.
The search continues.

Yesterday Richard wrote an article about a bunch of Zombie Tattoos that are skeevy enough to make your skin crawl. I have no idea why anyone would ever choose to get those permanently put on their body, but then again, that’s not for me to understand. Regardless, the pictures of those tattoos were a lot of fun to look at, and I wanted to follow up that article with a little more zombie madness today.
I decided to take a different approach than Richard though, specifically a more delicious one. I went on a hunt to find some zombie cupcakes, and boy did I ever find some! The first picture below is my favorite. You can click on that image to see those badboys supersized.
Those are cherry vanilla zombie cupcakes created by deviantART mad scientist ~CandyCasters. She made those by first making vanilla cupcakes with chunks of Maraschino cherries. She then frosted them with cherry vanilla buttercream icing. She made the brain cupcake toppers with Lindt white chocolate painted with cocoa butter. You can contact her on deviantART if you are interested in purchasing some of her unique cupcake toppers for yourself.
The second and third pictures below are of cupcakes created by flickr user xsomnis. Hers have a hint of raspberry instead of cherry. The base of the cupcake itself is raspberry red velvet cake, and the brain is chocolate flavored. She also used cupcake toppers, and the ones she used can be purchased here. If you’d like to make those for yourself, she created an entire series of photo steps at Zombie Food Guide to help you along. Wow, bloody zombie brains never looked so delicious.

He has not played Joey Tribbiani since 2006 when ‘Joey’ came to an end.
But viewers STILL struggle whenever they see actor Matt LeBlanc on TV.
The 47-year-old appeared on This Morning today to chat about the latest series of Episodes in which he plays a fictionalised version of himself.
His appearance caused a bit of a fuss on Twitter - with many fans rather taken aback by his new silver fox look.
One viewer praised his look: “Matt LeBlanc is aging beautifully. It's so nice to see an American celeb who doesn't look plastic.”
Others were more concerned about Joey – “Watching Matt LeBlanc on this morning just disturbed me, where's Joey,” wrote one.
Another added: “Can't get over how different Matt LeBlanc is in real life to his character Joey in Friends! #MattLeBlanc #Friends.”
“Matt Le Blanc on @itvthismorning! ! <3 He will always be Joey Tribiani to me <3 @ITV #MattLeBlanc #Episodes,” said another viewer.
Others were just keen to point how hot he was looking.
During the interview Matt joked that he decided to return to work from his ranch after five years because he wanted to do “anything to get away from shovelling that horse poop.”
The actor also revealed the first thing Prince William and Harry asked him when they met was whether there would be a Friends reunion.
And unfortunately he had to let them down.
Meanwhile although Matt confirmed that a Friends reunion ‘isn’t going to happen’, eBay.co.uk has still found that 100 items of Friends related merchandise is sold every day on the site.
But despite returning to our screens this Monday, as the fourth series of Episodes kicks off, Matt proves to be the least popular member of the 6-piece gang, according to sales of related inventory on the online marketplace.
Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel, is still queen of Central Perk with merchandise relating to the Hollywood star selling 39% more than all of her former Friends put together.

- New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman asked his legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo to close a loophole that could allow President Donald Trump to block state prosecutions of some people with pardons.
- Presidential pardons, as a rule, apply only to people for federal crimes.
- Trump pardoned Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff Scooter Libby last week.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Wednesday asked state legislators and Gov. Andrew Cuomo to close a loophole that could let recipients of pardons for federal crimes from President Donald Trump avoid state criminal charges.
Schneiderman said he was asking for the loophole to be eliminated because of "disturbing news" that Trump "may be considering issuing pardons that may impede criminal investigations."
Shortly after Schneiderman made his request, state Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat and former federal prosecutor who represents a district on Long Island, announced he would introduce a bill seeking to accomplish the attorney general's goal."
Schneiderman, a Democrat, is a long-time antagonist of Trump. Shortly after the presidential election in 2016, he obtained a $25 million settlement for customers of Trump University who claimed to have been swindled by that entity.
Last summer, it was reported that Schneiderman was working with prosecutors from special counsel Robert Mueller on their federal investigation of Trump's former campaign chief, Paul Manafort.
Mueller is conducting a broad investigation of Russian interference in the presidential election and possible collusion with Russians by Trump campaign officials.
Last week, federal prosecutors in New York City had FBI agents raid the office and home of Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen as part of a criminal probe of Cohen.
Presidents can pardon people only for federal crimes. Trump did so last week, pardoning Scooter Libby, former chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, for obstructing justice, perjury and lying to the FBI.
But pardons, as a rule, do not prevent people from prosecution or punishment for violating state criminal laws.
However, Schneiderman, in a letter to Cuomo and legislative leaders, said that "a strategically-timed pardon [from Trump] could prevent individuals who may have violated our State's laws from standing trial in our courts as well."
The timing would involve issuing a pardon to someone after they pleaded guilty to a federal crime, or after a jury was sworn in for a criminal case going to trial.
New York law bars someone from being prosecuted in state court if that person has already been prosecuted elsewhere for the same acts. That is known as a protection against so-called double jeopardy.
But Schneiderman said there is a "problem" under Article 40 of the state's Criminal Procedure Law.
Under that law, he wrote, "jeopardy attaches when a defendant pleads guilty or, if the defendant proceeds to a jury trial, the moment the jury is sworn."
"If any of those steps occur in a federal prosecution, then a subsequent prosecution for state crimes 'based on the same act or criminal transaction' cannot proceed, unless an exception applies," Schneiderman wrote.
Those exceptions occur when an appeals court nullifies a prior criminal proceeding, or when a federal court voids a federal conviction because prosecutors failed to establish an element of the crime that is not an element of a New York crime, Schneiderman wrote.
"But there is no parallel exception for when the President effectively nullifies a federal criminal prosecution via pardon," he wrote.
"Simply put, a defendant pardoned by the President for a serious federal crime could be freed from all accountability under federal and state criminal law, even though the President has no authority under the U.S. Constitution to pardon state crimes," Schneiderman wrote.
He added that the New York state legislature "could not have possibly intended this result."
Schneiderman asked the legislature to pass an amendment to state law to prevent the scenario from happening.
Sen. Kaminsky, who plans to introduce that amendment, in a statement said, "The Double Jeopardy loophole allows criminal behavior to go unpunished in our state and needs to be closed."
"The writers of our state's strict Double Jeopardy statute did not take into account the President's pardon power, and certainly did not contemplate the capricious use of that power to undermine the rule of law," Kaminsky said.

Black Box Pro Switching System NBS Fiber Multimode Product Details
The switching system also features auto bypass and auto recovery functions. If the "normal" network paths between the chassis and the device being monitored go down for any reason, the chassis will automatically switch from the normal connection state to the bypass, or failover, connection state.
Unique latching optical switch mechanisms and micro-mirrors optically route signals between ports. And because the system is fiber based, there's no need to worry about EMI/RFI interfering with signaling in electronically noisy applications.
The system uses duplex SC connections for each channel (port) to form bidirectional data paths to your multimode network segments. Simply connect fiber cables between the system's circuits and the network connections you want to control. As soon as the fiber cables are plugged into the chassis, the selected data paths become active.
Each switching circuit has a common (C) port that's latched to its associated A or B port, which means it transmits signals even if the chassis is without AC power. Because its relays are physically latched into position, once a position is set, it stays set.
A key-lockable switch secures the gang switching function. With the key-lock switch in the enabled position, all ports in the Pro Switching System 1 U NBS can be simultaneously switched by pressing the momentary toggle switch on the chassis' front.

Pests come in different forms. Whether or not it’s a Northern Kentucky time periodite, a Cincinnati time periodite, a mouse in a basement, ants in a kitchen or mosquitoes in a yard, all of them might be defined as undesirable creatures that play havoc on our lives. Controlling these pests helps protect us from the damage they inflict. This damage contains, but will not be limited to, contaminating our meals, spreading disease, threatening our health and injuring our property. By defining this damage, support for pest control is firmly validated.
It is rather important to have proper pest management around any space where meals is present. This consists of all over the place from the farms the place food is grown to the grocery stores where it is sold. If not accurately managed, pests can contaminate food, making it unattainable to grow and eat. Most individuals would consider bugs to be the primary “pests” to stop the place food is concerned. Different pests that additionally need to be handled are rodents, birds and different plant eating animals. Efficiently controlling these pests could be executed by using chemical compounds or natural pesticides, setting traps, building fences or creating other deterrents.
Disease might be spread rapidly if proper pest control just isn’t done. Bugs and insects can switch strands of flu and viruses to animals, individuals and food. Our government tries to manage and forestall this from happening by putting strict guidelines on what’s allowed to be introduced into our country. This is a type of pest control. Folks must take such measures at home as well. By applying bug repellent, folks can reduce their exposure to mosquitoes and different biting insects. Applications of chemical compounds to yards and perimeters of homes will limit the number of pests that can impact our health, as well as the health of our house pets.
Taking measures to manage pests that cause damage to our property is equally important. Spraying chemicals to handle insects that eat wood, burrow holes in our houses, build nests in our trees and chew holes in our landscape helps safe the survival of that property. The price of pest management could be very insignificant to the price of repairing or changing things that have incurred destruction from pests. For instance, consider the cost of new plant material for a yard. Individuals who choose to not apply any pest management are running the risk of dropping these plants to leaf consuming insects. If this happens, they might incur the cost of new plant material, possibly replacing soil and the labor costs for the installation. By managing pests at the start this project, they’d only have had their initial investment.
Many individuals are opposed to utilizing so many chemical compounds on or surrounding their homes. There are different options now with all the natural options on the market that are very profitable as well. Individuals must consider the long-time period effects of proper pest control. The spread of disease can be stopped or reduced and our meals will keep healthy. Our plants will grow robust and our residence will stay intact. Pest control is important for all of this to happen.

I know……god forbid that should occur….but you never know how the election will turn out.
But I am just saying that he was not suppose to win in 2016….and yet he did just that….and it could happen again (god forbid)…….
If he does what will that second term look like?
No one is sure……actually some say it is a complete mystery because he has said nothing about his next term……
Republican lawmakers say they have little to no idea what President Trump’s agenda would be if he wins a second term, making it difficult for GOP candidates to coordinate campaign messages ahead of November.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said last year he wanted the 2020 election to be a referendum on socialism, but instead it’s turning into a referendum on Trump, a scenario that GOP senators wanted to avoid.
Congressional Republicans say Trump spends too much time going after critics on Twitter and not enough time articulating his vision for a possible second term. They would prefer more contrasts between their party and Democrats on issues such as taxes and regulation — areas they think could be part of a winning formula in the fall.
Trump does have vision for that second term…..
President Trump has a vision for his second term, if he wins one, of establishing a “National Garden of American Heroes” that will pay tribute to some of the most prominent figures in US history, a collection of “the greatest Americans to ever live.” His idea, conveyed in a speech Friday night at Mount Rushmore and expanded on in an executive order, comes as elected officials and institutions are reckoning with whether it is appropriate to continue to honor people, including past presidents, who benefited from slavery or espoused racist views, with monuments or buildings and streets named after them, the AP reports. Absent from Trump’s initial list are any Native American or Hispanic individuals. The White House and Interior Department declined to comment on how the list was assembled.
To be certain, the monument is far from a done deal and Trump’s plan could be dashed if presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden denies him a second term in November. It includes George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., all already represented on or near the National Mall in Washington, along with Susan B. Anthony, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Billy Graham, Douglas MacArthur, Christa McAuliffe, Jackie Robinson, Betsy Ross, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington and Orville and Wilbur Wright. But Trump also is looking to put an ideological stamp on the idea of American greatness with the inclusion of conservative stalwart Antonin Scalia, the late Supreme Court Justice.
That is his big plan for his second term….basically a theme park. Will there be rides and palm readers?
So the second term will be full of the same BS as the first….division, racism, lies and disinformation.
A vote for Trump in November is a vote for those precise policies.

Since we won’t be a traveling for a while, we wanted to share a recent sojourn taken to one of America’s most beloved cities, Charleston, South Carolina for some travel-inspired architecture & design.
A quick trip down south can prove to be all one needs to be inspired by all of the various kinds of architecture that makes each part of this country unique. It proved to be just as quaint as everyone says it is and every bit as rich with architecture and history alike. A walking tour of a city allows one to see parts of the buildings that might remain unnoticed. In this case it was on the sides of brick buildings where we found curious architectural details that led us to research more and here is what was uncovered.
The “Great Shake” of 1886, was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded on the East Coast. Its epicenter was in South Carolina, but shocks were felt as far away as Boston. Much of Charleston was left in ruins. During rebuilding, many of the brick structures were stabilized with iron rods secured on the outside walls by “gib plates.” These plates can be seen all over town and have now become part of the architectural landscape rather than a retrofit. While it is still not certain if the added hardware will be effective if another quake were to occur, they remain a treasured element of the city’s architecture.
While this new found piece of hardware will likely never make it into any of our designs it is a reminder that in remodeling it is much about shoring up the past as moving into the future in new ways.

What is Commuter Challenge?
Commuter Challenge is a clean-air campaign that encourages people to try an alternative to driving alone. It is also a friendly competition among Northeast Ohio businesses in which employees choose a sustainable mode of transportation such as walking, biking, carpooling, telecommuting, or using public transportation.
How does Commuter Challenge work?
Employees representing their organization can sign up for the Challenge. Individuals not associated with an organization are also welcome to participate. At the end of the Challenge, participants complete the commuter form (third link on the left). The organization with the highest participation rate wins and will be recognized in a news release, publication and radio spots related to this event.

The spreading out of Northeast Ohio’s population has occurred in tandem with an increase in lower density development. The options for meeting the transit needs of residents from areas of low-density development are different from residents from high-density areas. Public transit is most effective and efficient when serving high-density areas. Transit in low-density areas requires more routes to reach fewer riders. As a result, lower density development leads to an increased dependence on private automobiles.
Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled, 2000-2010
These maps show by county how the daily vehicle miles traveled (DVMT) by Northeast Ohio’s residents have changed from 2000 to 2010.
Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled 2000
Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled 2010
DVMT increased sufficiently to move four counties – Medina, Wayne, Summit, and Stark counties – into higher categories of miles. In 2000, only Cuyahoga County experienced more than 15 million daily vehicle miles traveled. By 2010, Summit County had joined Cuyahoga County in the highest category of DVMT. Only Geauga and Ashtabula counties maintained their position in the lowest category of DVMT from 2000 to 2010.
As this table below illustrates shows, the majority of the region drives alone to work. Single-occupant personal vehicles are the primary form of travel in Northeast Ohio and they cause congestion, especially during rush hours and along heavily traveled corridors, such as I-76, I-77, I-271, and I-480. Commute time to work on average has increased.

Starred Library Journal Review
Rose Varner needs a man…
But not just any man. The one known as “White Ghost with Hair of Fire.” He may be the only way to rescue her daughter, Lily, from the Cheyenne. Legend has it he was once the Cheyenne’s captive, but his courage impressed them so much that they accepted him as one of their own. Yet the man Rose finds seems far from legendary…
Luke Phelan’s tortured past has driven him to live as a recluse in the Smoky Hills of western Kansas. Having vowed to keep his distance from the Cheyenne, Luke refuses to accompany Rose on her rescue mission. But her bravery in the face of dangerous odds changes his mind. Now as they ride toward their destination, they’ll battle outlaws, bounty hunters, and their own rising desires before finding Lily. But the cost to Rose will be high, and her budding love for Luke will be put to the test…

The Champions League, one of the greatest football tournaments in the world, has been graced by magnificent goals and weird and wonderful celebrations to go with them. But today we focus on some of the specific celebrations and their memorable messages that can now be worn as printed T-shirts.
Do you want this too?
First up we take a look at an acclaimed 2010 Inter Milan team that won the treble under Jose Mourinho. During the celebrations of their Champions League final victory in Madrid, Inter defender Marco Materazzi revealed a T-shirt which carried a message translating as: “Do you want this too?” It was directed towards their Italian rivals Juventus, who were stripped of their league titles after the Calciopoli scandal in 2006. When the verdict was announced the 05/06 title was awarded to Inter, therefore providing the inspiration for Materazzi’s creative jibe that soon became a popular choice of T-shirt among Inter’s fans.
I belong to Jesus
Next up we take another Champions League final incident from 2007, when AC Milan’s Kaka knelt on the pitch and stripped to his vest after a hard fought victory over Liverpool. As he took off the infamous red and black striped shirt, he revealed to the world a shirt underneath saying: “I belong to Jesus.” This also became a popular shirt in the Italian capital, but on the other side of town.
Dockers: Sacked since September 1995
In third, we take a look at a very controversial celebration that left a certain Robby Fowler 2,000 Swiss francs out of pocket. Although not actually a Champions league game, Fowler was representing a Liverpool side during a European Cup Winners’ Cup fixture against Brann Bergaen (whoever they are?) in 1997. The Liverpudlian striker was fined by UEFA after revealing a T-shirt in support of the 500 dockworkers that had been sacked.
Why always me?
Fourthly, we can’t mention T-shirt celebrations without looking at this controversial figure that just couldn’t keep out of the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Yes, you guessed it, Mario Balotelli revealed a vest with the words “Why always me?” after scoring in the Manchester derby. This soon became one of the most popular T-shirt prints during the 2011-12 season among many football fans from the blue side of Manchester. We wonder what Balotelli could have up his sleeve in this year’s Champions League?
And finally, here are the T-shirts that were donned by Kenny Daglish’s Liverpool squad in support of a recently banned Luis Suarez following that racism incident with Patrice Evra. The controversial striker was banned for eight matches and fined £40,000 after the incident – unfortunately for the Uruguayan, who wanted to leave Liverpool for the Champions League, this list could prove the closest he’ll get to it this season.


The Republican secretaries of state in Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri have promoted their states’ elections as truthful and safe. But every is also navigating a high quality line on easy methods to handle election fraud conspiracies as they gear up campaigns for U.S. Senate or governor in 2024.
The split-screen messaging of Ohio’s Frank LaRose, West Virginia’s Mac Warner and Missouri’s Jay Ashcroft exhibits simply how deeply election lies have burrowed into the Republican Social gathering, the place greater than half of voters consider Democrat Joe Biden was not legitimately elected president. Even election officers who tout working clear elections at house are routinely pushing for extra voting restrictions and extra scrutiny on the method as they put together to face GOP main voters subsequent yr.
All three withdrew their states final month from the Digital Registration Data Heart, a bipartisan, multistate effort to make sure correct voter lists. LaRose did so lower than a month after calling the group “probably the greatest fraud-fighting instruments that we have now” and vowing to keep up Ohio’s membership. He defied backlash in opposition to the group stoked by former President Donald Trump earlier than relenting.
The three even have supported elevated voter restrictions of their states — a part of a nationwide development for Republicans that they are saying is intend to spice up public confidence. These payments impose new voter ID necessities, shrink home windows for processing ballots or ease the power to consolidate voting precincts.
For Republicans aspiring to increased workplace, “it’s form of arduous to skip a few of these issues if you wish to succeed” in GOP primaries, mentioned Nancy Martorano Miller, an affiliate professor of political science on the College of Dayton.
That features showing conscious of Republican voters’ perception in Trump’s false claims of a stolen 2020 presidential election on the identical time they promote the job they’re doing in their very own states.
“You’re secretary of state, so it’s your job to run elections and ensure they’re fraud-fee,” Martorano Miller mentioned. “You’re form of caught between, ‘I would like to indicate I’m doing these items to battle fraud,’ however on the identical time, ‘if I make it appear to be there’s an excessive amount of fraud, it appears to be like like I’m not doing my job.’”
Warner and Ashcroft have introduced campaigns for governor whereas LaRose is contemplating a U.S. Senate run.
When he unveiled laws in February aimed toward standardizing election knowledge, LaRose mentioned it was all about offering transparency so voters would “trust in understanding that when the election is over, that the true voice of the folks was heard.”
A pair weeks later, he was sitting on an elections panel titled “They Stole It From Us Legally” on the annual Conservative Political Motion Convention.
LaRose’s spokesperson mentioned the panel was renamed on the final minute, however the secretary used the chance to advertise the integrity of Ohio elections.
“Voter fraud is exceedingly uncommon in Ohio as a result of we take election safety very severely, aggressively pursue those that commit it and refer the potential crime to the lawyer normal and county prosecutors,” Rob Nichols mentioned.
Equally, Ashcroft has mentioned Missouri has safe elections and praised Gov. Mike Parson for signing a package deal of election regulation adjustments final yr that included a brand new photograph ID requirement.
“Missouri voters are captivated with their proper to vote,” he mentioned. “This invoice makes Missouri elections safer and extra clear, which instills confidence and belief.”
Then in January, Ashcroft hosted a gathering at his workplace with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a conspiracy theorist who travels the nation fueling mistrust in elections. The assembly alarmed some voting rights advocates within the state.
Warner has defended Trump’s false claims of a fraudulent 2020 election and demonstrated alongside “Cease the Steal” protesters, whereas additionally selling the integrity of West Virginia’s elections.
He mentioned in a latest interview that he’s working to strike a stability between these on the best who consider the 2020 election was stolen and people on the left who argue “there’s nothing to see right here.”
“The reality is clearly someplace within the center,” he mentioned, whereas including: “I’ll admit Biden received the election, however did he do it legitimately? Or did that occur outdoors the election legal guidelines that legislatures in sure states had put in place? That’s the place I balk and say no.”
Warner mentioned he want to see an “after-action overview” of the 2020 election, like these carried out within the navy, to ease residents’ minds and make elections higher.
Trump and others have criticized the enlargement of mail voting in 2020 within the COVID-19 pandemic, though there isn’t any proof of any widespread fraud and a number of critiques within the battleground states the place Trump contested his loss have upheld the outcomes. The Home committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol discovered that Trump advisers and administration officers repeatedly debunked allegations of fraud within the weeks after the 2020 election, however Trump continued to push the lies, anyway.
In a not too long ago settled defamation case in opposition to Fox Information, a Delaware Superior Court docket decide dominated it was “CRYSTAL clear” that not one of the claims repeatedly aired on the community about Dominion Voting Methods machines rigging votes in opposition to Trump was true.
Christopher McKnight Nichols, an Ohio State College professor of historical past, mentioned it’s complicated for voters when secretaries of state declare elections they run are truthful however then elevate questions or trace at issues, with out proof, about elections elsewhere.
An earlier period of Republicans “completely would have been chagrined, embarrassed, and maybe pushed out fellow Republicans who flip-flopped so radically, or promoted lies,” he mentioned. “Their model was the principled and constant politician.”
In Ohio, LaRose spent years assuring the general public that voter fraud represents a tiny fraction of Ohio’s solid ballots and that election tallies have been almost good. Then throughout his reelection marketing campaign final yr, he mentioned Trump “is true to say that voter fraud is a significant issue” and blamed the mainstream media for “attempting to reduce voter fraud to go well with their narrative.”
In October, he joined a nationwide Republican development by opening a unit to analyze election regulation violations in Ohio, amongst different duties. He mentioned that day that Ohio has a “sturdy nationwide fame for safe, correct and accessible elections” — however added that something wanting “absolute confidence” in election integrity “weakens the very basis of our democracy.”

Unum Group, Chattanooga, Tenn., contributed $50 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan in the second quarter as part of the company's efforts to freeze the plan at the end of 2013.
The contribution was voluntary, according to a 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.
The company had announced in June that it would freeze its U.S. defined benefit pension plan effective Dec. 31. Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, the company will increase its 401(k) match to 5% of base salary from 3% and add a new non-elective contribution of 4.5% of earnings for all eligible employees.
As of Dec. 31, the fair value of plan assets for the U.S. plan totaled $1.35 billion and projected benefit obligations totaled $1.97 billion, for a funding ratio of about 69%, according to its most recent annual report. The company contributed $57.5 million to the plan in 2012.
The Unum Group 401(k) Retirement Plan had $910 million in assets as of Dec. 31, according to the company's most recent 11-K filing.
Phone calls to Linda Levesque, vice president-corporate benefits and pension plan administrator, and Jim Sabourin, spokesman, were not returned by press time.

Lancet Global Health Blog - Non-doctor emergency surgeons are saving thousands of lives in rural Ethiopian hospitals
Dr. Biku Ghosh, OBE, FRCS, Founder and former Chair, Wales for Africa Health Links Network and Co-founder of Southern Ethiopia Gwent Healthcare Link
Dr. Aberra A Gobeze, MD, Assistant Professor of Urology and Surgery, Hawassa University Referral Hospital, Hawassa, Ethiopia, and Co-founder of the Southern Ethiopia Gwent Health Care Link
The Lancet Global Health Blog appears to be offline and therefore, the original article is reproduced here.
At the end of the first long day of advanced skills training in emergency surgery and obstetrics, Murida Shamil approached me timidly. She was 28 years old and had travelled nearly a day and a half by public transport from her rural primary hospital to Awassa to attend this course.
“Dr Biku I am sorry that I have been late each time during the coffee and lunch breaks to return for the skills training and you all had to wait. Sorry I had to breastfeed my 6 month old daughter. My husband who was looking after her in between was late. I have told him off.”
Our Southern Ethiopia Gwent Health Care Link was the first to introduce Continuing Medical Education (CME) programmes in emergency surgical and obstetric training for non-doctor health officers in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR) of Ethiopia in 2000. By the end of 2005, after consultation between our organisation, THET, the Federal Ministry of Health in Ethiopia, WHO, Addis Ababa University representatives, and the British Embassy (which was at that time funding our CME programme), consensus was reached on starting a task force in the country to develop a Masters programme in emergency surgery and obstetrics. The task force involved all the then-existing five medical universities as well as representation from other bodies.
The Masters programme was rolled out in 2009. The strategy was intended to overcome the human resource scarcity of trained surgeons within a short period of time especially in rural Ethiopian hospitals. Trained health officers and BSc nurses who have been working in health facilities for a minimum of 2 years are recruited through a tough entrance examination. They are then trained in a 3-year special MSc course designed for producing emergency surgical officers competent to perform emergency surgical, gynaecological, and obstetric operations such as caesarean sections.
This Integrated Emergency Surgical Officer (IESO) training programme started in three universities with an intake of 43 students and has since been expanded to 11 universities. The first batch of graduates qualified in 2012/13. Currently there are 153 qualified IESOs deployed in different regions. By the end of 2015 the initiative plans to train 800. The future plan is to make one IESO available per 100,000 population throughout the country.
The Ethiopian Government has recently undertaken a massive hospital-building programme throughout the country. In the SNNPR, with a current population of nearly 26 million, the number of hospitals has increased from only 14 in 2001 to more than 50 in 2015. Only 26 of these hospitals are currenly carrying out emergency medical or obstetric surgery, with only 44 trained surgeons, only 11 of whom are medically qualified surgeons or gynaecologists; the other 33 are IESOs. Many of these hospitals only have IESOs. With the help of the SNNPR health authority, we were keen to establish what impact the IESOs are having in the region and support them with further training.
A UK team of one general surgeon (myself), two orthopaedic surgeons, and two anaesthetists, with the help of another surgeon and two gynaecologists from Awassa teaching hospital, arranged a 5-day advanced skills course in early November, 2015. All 33 IESOs in SNNPR hospitals were invited. Only 24 of them could attend; five had only qualified that year. Between them, these 24 IESOs have carried out about 4856 caesarean sections, operated on 562 ruptured uteruses, and done 1366 laparotomies for various other indications. Thus potentially more than 6000 lives (plus another 4500 newborn lives) have been saved by these IESOs in the past 3 years alone.
Murida graduated as an IESO just over 3 years back. Since then she has carried out 400 successful caesarean sections, dealt with 64 ruptured uteruses (with only one death), and done approximately 200 laparotomies for various indications. And she also managed to have her first baby daughter!
We were all extremely impressed by the technical skills of these young IESO during this course and have no doubt that they will continue to save many thousands lives in rural hospitals in Ethiopia for years to come. Is there a lesson for other countries to learn from this?
This is a joint post with Dr. Aberra A Gobeze, MD, Assistant Professor of Urology and Surgery, Hawassa University Referral Hospital, Hawassa, Ethiopia, and Founder of the Southern Ethiopia Gwent Health Care Link.

Who is At-Fault in a Chain-Reaction Car Accident?
Chain-reaction car crashes can be extremely dangerous. With every new vehicle added to the wreck, the chances of a serious injury or fatality rise even higher. Chain-reaction crashes can take over entire freeways, stopping traffic and creating hazards for people miles down the line. Chain-reaction accidents are rarely straightforward, involving a combination of several events and negligent behaviors. It can be difficult to determine who, if anyone, is liable for a particular motorist’s injuries. Continue reading to learn about liability in a chain-reaction car crash, and call a zealous Los Angeles car accident lawyer if you’ve been hurt in a car crash in Southern California.
Finding the Negligent Party
Chain-reaction crashes or multi-car crashes are accidents that involve three or more vehicles. Typically, these accidents occur by way of a “chain reaction”–that is, two cars crash initially, and then one or more cars subsequently crash into the wreckage created by the initial accident. There may be a series of several additional accidents. Often these take the form of a series of rear-end collisions; a front vehicle stops suddenly due to a hazard, a second car rear-ends the first, which causes the first car to be shoved forward and rear-end a third.
Depending upon the nature of the crash and the actions of each party, one or more parties may be at fault. If Driver 1 stops suddenly, tailgating Driver 2 crashes into Driver 1, causing Driver 1 to crash into the rear-end of Driver 3 (2>1>3), Driver 2 likely is to blame (just like other rear-end collisions). However, if Driver B rear-ends Driver A, and then Driver C rear-ends Driver B (C>B>A), the situation can quickly become much more complex.
In many cases, the driver who caused the first impact will be to blame for the entire accident. However, other parties may be partially liable as well. To figure out who all is liable, look to who acted negligently at any point along the way and whether that negligence contributed to the pileup. Negligent behavior that might cause or exacerbate a chain-reaction crash can include:
- A driver tailgating the vehicle in front of them
- A driver speeding
- A driver changing lanes or turning without signaling
- A driver texting or otherwise operating while distracted
- An intoxicated driver
- A vehicle manufacturer who sold one of the drivers a defective car
Comparative Liability and Shared Fault
When multiple cars are involved in a pileup, there’s every chance that more than one person acted negligently along the way. One set of cars may have crashed and caused an initial hazard, but then a truck driver may be on the same route and operating without sleep, leading to a jackknife wreck and even more cars getting involved. California law accounts for the fact that multiple parties can be partially liable for an incident.
Under California’s “joint and several liability” rules, when multiple parties share fault for an accident, each party may be held liable for their portion of fault. If, for example, Driver A suffered $10,000 in injuries caused by the negligence of Drivers B and C, and a jury determines that B and C are each 50% at fault, then Driver A would recover $5,000 from each of Driver A and B. Driver A could also go after either driver for the full amount of economic damages that Driver A suffered, but each negligent driver is only responsible for their share of fault when it comes to noneconomic (pain and suffering) damages.
If Driver A also shared some responsibility, then Driver A’s award would be offset by their own percentage of fault. If Driver A was 20% responsible and Drivers B and C were each 40% responsible, then Driver A would be able to collect $4,000 from each of Drivers B and C. Driver A would be unable to recover the last $2,000, because Driver A was 20% responsible for their own injuries.

Telangana students suffer in the face of apathy from the Intermediate board.
Hyderabad: The Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TSBIE) recently completed 1st-year exams, with 51 per cent of students from the 2020-21 batch failing to meet the minimum passing marks across the state.
In fact, according to the statistics, only about 30% of students from Medak and Vikarabad passed the exams, with the majority of students failing to meet the minimum requirements. A youngster committed suicide in the Nalgonda area on Friday by leaping in front of a moving train since she was unable to perform well at school.
"80% of my classmates failed, including me. Even the ones who passed just managed to scrape through," Raghu*, an MPC (Maths, Physics, and Chemistry) student at Sri Krishnaveni Degree College in Adilabad district, stated.
Raghu, like a large number of other students, finds himself in this tough situation. They were unable to grasp their lessons due to the online medium, and they were occasionally unable to access their classes due to faulty internet connectivity.
"The network would suddenly go off and I wouldn’t be able to study. I did some agriculture work when I was unable to attend classes. Now the government wants to conduct the 1st year and 2nd year exams simultaneously, and the pressure on us has increased," he continued.
The state board is considering scheduling re-examinations for the 2020-21 class in March 2022, in conjunction with their second-year exams. This would imply that the selected students would have to take both their first and second-year examinations at the same time.
Another student, Lokur*, from the Krishnaveni college in Kothagudem, added that "There is no internet in our village at all, and hence I could only manage to purchase books and study by myself, but that wasn’t enough. My only option now is to apply for reevaluation or write all the exams in March."
Venkat Balmoor, president of the Telangana National Student Union of India (NSUI), told the media that as he and his colleagues were on their way to visit TSIBE Secretary Omar Jaleel, the student activists were apprehended and arrested at the Narayanguda police station. He mentioned that Jaleel had agreed to the meeting but then cancelled it.
"We were mainly concerned about the future of these students. The syllabus was not over and the irregularity in classes due to COVID-19 makes it worse. Aside from the students in Nalgonda and another in Nizamabad, has taken his life," he added.
Educators, activists, and parents from throughout the state have spoken out against the state's decision to hold examinations in this climate. The NSUI addressed a letter to the TSIBE, but it was to no avail.
According to Balmoor, at least 80% of the 51% of students that failed came from rural, underprivileged homes. "With 2nd year exams due in three months, the students are likely to feel pressurised and could resort to drastic measures."
This isn't the first time the pandemic has had a negative influence on schooling in Telanagana and elsewhere. However, as Lokur remarked, "If the rules are not relaxed in the state at this juncture, this could very well be the end of their education."
As of now, the TSIBE has not announced any changes to the next exam schedule or given any assurances that the students would be promoted. The issue is proving to be a significant concern, with 51% of youngsters affected.
Despite the media's continuous attempts, the secretary of the TSIBE remained unavailable for comment.

Every so often, when there’s little else to report on, a story makes the rounds that Classical Music increases your enjoyment of wine. Now you won’t know this; I’m a sociologist. That’s not some unusual self-identification, I actually have a degree in sociology, so as you can imagine this subject really interests me. I find it hard to believe that one type of music ie classical music, affects all people the same. Are there no other genres that also increase the enjoyment of drinking wine or is this all in our heads? This has been puzzling me recently and I thought I would explore my past experiences to help me come to some kind of conclusion.
I’ve spent years working shop floors with an array of people who’ve played their collections of music to fuel our vinous labours, and I’ve played mine in return and a sort of cross pollination has occurred. To this day when I drink Mencia I’ll always think of Tangled Up in Blue by Bob Dylan.
Both my Mencia-Memories and my music-mood relation are heavily context dependent, and clearly, I am not alone. Anecdotally we can all think of a wonderful drink or meal we’ve had on holiday that stands out in particular and that we can never truly recapture. Recently I was reading a book about Wine by Mike Veseth, the Wine Economist, and it mentioned an interesting piece of research. While in an MRI scanner participants were given wine and told how much it cost. Invariably, the more expensive they were told the wine was the more pleasure centres lit up. This would seem to verify that the more expensive a wine is the more pleasurable the experience. In fact, when given the same wine twice but told that one was more expensive, the pleasure centres were more active when the participant believed the wine had a bigger price tag. Even more interestingly the pleasure centre lit up even before they drank the wine. It seems that the brain pre-juices you with joy-hormones (not a scientific term) when you believe you should be enjoying something. Therefore, this may suggest that context influences your experiences when drinking wine or more than we might think.
Exploring this idea in relation to the theory that classical music makes you enjoy wine more, this may indeed be true, but it depends completely on personal taste and whether you listen and like classical music. But, if you happen to enjoy the janky-punk music of New York, or raucous Jazz that noodles on for hours on end, or even the latest hip and trendy music all the kids are dancing to in the discotheques, no matter what you like, if you’re enjoying the music, you’ll probably enjoy what you are drinking even more. If you extrapolate this out to night clubs it does explain why the cheapest beer, or the house rum and mixer still tastes good on a night out, even though you know it’s not of the highest quality. In these situations, you are having fun already, and so those joy-hormones (I really can’t apologise enough) are coursing through you.
Personally, I don’t mind Classical music, but it sort of washes over me and the last thing I want a wine to do is to be underwhelming. I want something to grab me and make me pay attention. I think the same is true of my music tastes. Some of the best wines I’ve sampled have been on the shop floors of my early career, while an array of staff's music collections floated out of the speakers. One of my favourite bands these days is The National. I was introduced to them by a colleague who played them off her iPod. I asked how many albums she had, and she replied, “all of them”, so, we listened to them all, in a row, long after we’d locked up and began an impromptu wine tasting (of reasonable portions). I still listen to The National now, and when their new album came out, I carved out an hour with a glass of wine (or two) to listen to it. Was the album as good as I think? Was the wine as nice as I remember (a Dog Point Pinot Noir)? Yes, but I guarantee it with some contextual feedback. You can deploy your joy-hormones (I’ll donate to a science charity, I promise) to help you ensure you have a good time. Conversely, if you’re having a terrible day, I’d probably suggest that you don’t open a nice bottle, as I promise it won’t live up to your expectations.
Should you listen to classical music to enjoy wine? Well, only if you love classical music. My dream is to one day take an exceptionally good bottle of wine to a concert by one of my top five artists and just ride out the night. If you’re curious, the fantasy list is below:
1. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with a Lynch-Bages 1999.
2. Franz Nicolay with a Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir from a recent vintage (last 6 years).
3. The National with a Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Riesling from a recent Vintage (last 3 years).
4. Pete Yorn with Joseph Drouhin Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet 1996
5. Chateau Musar 1983 (for historical reasons).
If you also have a fantasy wine and music pairing, then please drop me a line and maybe we can put together a playlist.

Industry: Cancer pharmaceuticals
Vesta Biomedical’s vesicular stomatitis virus drug (VSV-S) is a potent anti-cancer virus.
Animal trials using cancers genetically identical (syngeneic) to those found in humans found that an intratumoral injection of VSV-S reduced tumors by up to 85% and enhanced cellular immune responses.
In accordance with expert feedback, Vesta has tested the effectiveness of the drug in treating pancreatic, breast, and lung cancers. At this stage, VSV-S has not induced severe adverse effects even after a large dose, with no observed cytotoxicity.
VSV-S could be administered either directly into the tumor or intravenously, and the comparative effectiveness of administrations will be studied.

The Mount Pleasant is a family run hotel on Belle Vue Terrace in Greater Malvern offers 17 rooms and a quality restaurant. There are a range of dishes on offer plus specials and a children’s menu and a Sunday carvery. The refurbished restaurant has 50 covers and there is a smaller dining room which seats up to 24 and is ideal for private parties. The hotel is also a venue for weddings.
We went along recently on behalf of WR Magazine to review the restaurant, and can be found on pages 16-17 of the winter issue 2018. Here’s what we thought…
In the centre of Great Malvern on Belle Vue Terrace you’ll find The Mount Pleasant. This established family-owned hotel, bar and restaurant, in a unique Georgian building, enjoys a prime location overlooking the town.
The recently refurbished restaurant area has been tastefully decorated and provides a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. An opinion clearly shared by the other guests which included couples, families and what seemed to be a reunion of friends during our Friday night visit. A first impression worthy of a mention is the high-backed comfortable dining chairs, which prompted the question of why don’t more restaurants follow suit?
We were greeted and served by Jay, who looked after us for the evening and provided us with menus to read and drinks while we decided what to order. The menu, which could be categorised as modern British or bistro style, has a good range of dishes catering for most tastes, making it easy to shortlist two or three starters and mains. I opted for the halloumi fries to start and the serving, with a bed of coriander & lime mayo and herbed greens was very generous. Crisply coated fish finger sized cheesy fries – ideal for any fan of halloumi.
My companion opted for the scallops with pork belly. The seafood was cooked with care with the delicate flavour of the plump scallops contrasting with the meaty pork whilst a cauliflower purée and red wine jus brought the dish together wonderfully. Both starters had a genuine balance of freshness, flavour and texture. Great starters to enthuse about while we waited for the main course to arrive.
My seabass fillets arrived aloft a circle of coriander mash with wilted spinach and prawn wontons on top. The oriental wontons worked really well with the more traditional herbed mash and the fillets flaked as they should. A great combination of flavours with a subtle prawn sauce to round off the flavours and soak up the potatoes.
Next to me a thick rump steak arrived with skin on chips, a side of garlic mushrooms and blue cheese rarebit on top of the beef tomato. The 8oz steak was cooked rare as requested, and had a delicious charred flavour from the searing process. The optional peppercorn sauce or red wine jus was vetoed in favour of some good old English mustard. A classic with the cheesy rarebit being a welcome addition to the obligatory grilled tomato.
Whilst deciding on puddings we both agreed that this hotel restaurant is serving great quality food with good portion control and friendly, polite service. The atmosphere is pleasant without being too formal and the service is professional and non-intrusive.
The pudding menu is inviting and has some tempting treats such sticky toffee pudding, crème brûlée and pannacotta, but we opted to share the cheeseboard. After all, you can never have enough cheese!
This arrived and provided a delightful choice of Brie, Worcester Gold, Hereford Hop, Stilton and the Worcester sauce & shallot. A selection of non-fussy biscuits lay next to home-made chutney and celery accompaniments.
Our evening at The Mount Pleasant was as the name suggests! Extremely enjoyable with great service and very good food, catering well for hotel guests, visitors to Malvern and locals.

Age: 8 Years
Personality: Hi everyone! My name is Bailey and I’m a husky. I am a super friendly boy with very distinctive eyes… one blue and one brown… “It’s a husky thing!!!” I love all the attention I get from visitors and my rescue family. I am extremely dog friendly and get on well with the dogs here at the rescue.
Due to my social charm, I would love to live with another dog as I get quite lonely without a 4-legged chum 🐾
I can climb quite high so a secure garden and a 6-foot fence/wall is essential for my safety.
I adore walking with my human pals so an active household would suit me best. Please consider making me a part of your pack and I promise to thank you with kisses for the rest of my days 💕
Feel free to visit the rescue and meet me. I promise you won’t be sorry 🐾

MARION -- Using a lineup of mostly junior varsity wrestlers, the Marion High School wrestling team squeaked out a 42-41 win over Mt. Vernon on Tuesday night at Cuss Wilson Gymnasium.
The Wildcats are now 6-0 in dual matches this season.
Marion received forfeit points in five of the 14 weight classes.
Landon White gave the Wildcats six points for a pinfall at 132 pounds where he stuck Quincey Heard in the first period.
Those points were important because Mt. Vernon got a major decision win by Will Walton at 126 against Kaden Barber, then posted 12 points when Daniel Gilley was pinned at 145 and Jade Nappier was pinned at 152.
Noah James gave the Wildcats six points at 160 with a second-period pin of Dakota Shannon and Mt. Vernon got those back with a pin at 170 and added at 182 and 285.
But in between, the forfeit picked up by Joseph Moreno at 220 allowed the Wildcats to get the team win.
Marion wrestles at Herrin on Thursday.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." ~ T. E. Lawrence
Late Thursday night I made it safely back home from Israel. We got out of Tel Aviv hours before the rockets started falling. My heart is full for the friends we made while we were there, hoping and praying for their safety. And my head is full of the things I saw on those city streets, evils that don’t go away just because we aren’t there to fight against them.
As I get back into the swing of things at the office, as the jet lag slowly wears off, I just wanted to put this out and let everyone know that my team is back safe and sound.
I wasn’t able to faithful update and post while I was in Haifa. My apologies and I’d like to plead spotting internet connections as my excuse. To sum up, we spent time with our American hosts and learned about some of the work they are doing with drug addicts on the streets of Tel Aviv. There are safe houses set up for the recovering addicts so they can be in an environment conducive to overcoming their struggles in addition to the state-run rehab programs. Our contacts have helped several people go from addiction and being homeless to working a regular job, having their own flat, and being free from drugs and prostitution.
It’s all about relationship and building trust so this work takes a long time to see any fruit from. And there are so many set backs. Hurting people from these backgrounds tend to relapse at least once and sometimes much more often on their journey to wholeness. Our contacts are truly amazing for having the heart to continue through the pain of watching their friends relapse and having an open-door policy for these hurting ones to come back “home”.
I wrote about our time at Door of Hope in a previous post. That was truly a life changing experience for me. Serving food and water on the streets of Tel Aviv was no less of a paradigm shift and much more of a shock. We were witness to many drug deals, prostitutes getting picked up, one room brothels being used, and even a stabbing. Downtown Tel Aviv is one of the most difficult places I have served, hands down. All of the evils that happened there are nothing new to me. These are realities of life for so many people around the world. But I’m used to the bulk of it happening behind closed doors. Walking down a street past rows of brothels isn’t the same as seeing the women, chatting with them, and watching them pick up clients throughout the day. There was so much pain there: the scars on the arms of cutters, the abcessed sores from needles, the crack pipes lying around everwhere. It was hard to see, harder still to want to desperately to help.
What helped the most was to just be there. Again, it comes back to relationship. To sit and talk with some of the women, let them share their stories, to strive to bring hope, and to tell them about the rehab centers that can help them escape life on the street. I met some men and women and had some amazing talks with them. I’ll share these stories over the next few posts.
I also was honored to share the home of a Palestinian woman for two night in Bethlehem. Between her little bit of English mastery and my little bit of Arabic, we managed to communicate quite well. And it was amazing to share in a day in her life, to hear of her struggles, and to become part of her family – beloved as a daughter. She’s in my thoughts and prayers daily.
So for now, I just wanted to say that I’m back, I’m safe, and I’ve got a lot to share. Those of you who supported through finances, through encouragement, and through prayers – thank you so much! Your resources were put to good use and I was so grateful for the opportunity and honor of serving these lovely and hurting people.

FOR THE PERILOUS
For The Perilous originated from an old steel town in central Pennsylvania. The band first started in 2007 as a means of hanging out with each other as kids. Those kids were bound to grow up and little did they know that they were building the foundations of what was to be their dreams and expectations. Today, the bands stands as a respected group, known for their hard work and relentless efforts to always settle for the best in their music.
The band has awed audiences not only for their wild actions in front of a crowd but for the musicianship as well. For The Perilous is a fusion of many different styles and influences ranging from Iron Maiden to Miss May I. The general idea behind the music is best explained with technical speed, melodic harmonies and vicious breakdowns all rolled into one.

An off-duty Seattle police officer is being commended for stepping in to assist VPD officers following an assault.
Just before 10 p.m. on March 11th, police were called to the area of Robson and Cardero Street after a 9-1-1 call reporting three men hitting a person on the ground. Officers arrived and found a group of men standing over an intoxicated person. Based on his condition, officers called for an ambulance to assess his well-being and detained him for being drunk in a public place.
Claiming to be the drunken person’s friends, the men allegedly became combative with police, as did the intoxicated man, and the officers quickly found themselves fighting at least three attackers. An off-duty Seattle police officer who witnessed the altercation quickly came to the officers’ aid. The incident was brought under control with the help of the Seattle police officer, and the three men were arrested.
Twenty-one year-old Chitsanuphong Chaithanayot has been charged with assaulting a police officer and has since been released from custody. The other two men were released without charge.
“I would like to publicly thank the Seattle police officer for his actions,” says VPD Chief Constable Adam Palmer. “Regardless of which side of the border you work on, it’s great to know our officers are there for each other when you need them.”
