This post is part of the “Would Someone Please Explain This to Me?” series.
Reader Luis asks: “How did the military reached a credible commitment with the rest of the society not to overturn nonmilitary regimes? Aren’t there enough economic incentives, given that in developed societies soldiers and the military hierarchy is far from being on the top of the income distribution, for those who own the arms expropriate the rest of society? Does the answer rely on noneconomic incentives, then?
Check that my question is not about ‘why democracies survive’ but more general: why isn’t any society a military dictatorship? And my focus is on the mechanism of commitment that makes it possible to solve the problem.”
This is an excellent question, as civil-military relations can mean many things. The classic discussion going back to Huntington, Janowitz, Finer and others focused on the possibility of coups and the challenges of keeping the military in the barracks. Over the course of time, scholars have increasingly focused not on coups and their prevention but how to finesse the tradeoffs between control and effectiveness. Why? In part because we take for granted that militaries in advanced democracies will always stay in the barracks. I always use the same example: when Bush and Gore contested the 2000 Presidential election, did anyone ask what the military thought? Not as far as I can tell. The military was never considered to be relevant in this crisis. This is quite distinct from contested elections in less established democracies, where contested elections and coups go together like peanut butter and jelly.
So the puzzle Luis raises is a good one, but let me address the motivations he suggests before considering the bigger one. No, the economic incentives are not so apparent for American, Canadian, British, French, German, and other officers and enlisted personnel. Just to focus on the American case, while officers start out underpaid as their careers advance, their pay not only competes well with the civilian sector (especially once you factor in healthcare and other benefits) but eventually exceeds what average civilians make. The same is largely true for enlisted personnel — the pay is lousy to start but catches up quickly. Plus advanced democracies do not generally have the same kinds of spoils that more fragile countries have. The post-industrial economy is hard to loot, at least it is hard for soldiers to do so.
Coup-proofing is a deliberate effort in authoritarian countries and in new democracies. In advanced democracies, it is not a focus of politicians. Why? Perhaps much of the coup-proofing has already been done. To launch a coup, you have to gamble that you will have enough support from key parts of the military and enough tolerance from the rest. The history of coups shows that this is a coin-flip at best. In autocracies, recruitment is a key issue — does the military over or under-represent ethnic groups, which might provide motivation for some to take power when their privileged situation is threatened?
In the US, Canada, and other multi-ethnic democracies, the military does not replicate the ethnic composition of the society, but their armies are multi-ethnic. Can you count on a multi-ethnic all supporting a seizure of power? Probably not.
But the key for advanced democracies is not incentives or the likelihood of success. There has been a distinction made between a logic of consequences and a logic of appropriateness. People can be focused on what is the most efficient way to get what they want — the logic of consequences — or they can only consider to act in ways that are appropriate. In established democracies, officers and soldiers do not think it is their role to decide political outcomes. They do not think about the possibility of coups because the thought is entirely inappropriate, just as most of us do not consider cannibalism when we get a bit hungry. A coup in America would be unthinkable except that Hollywood reminds us that the military does own many of the guns with movies like Seven Days in May and the new TV series Last Resort. Still, the educational systems on both the civilian and military sides indoctrinate the military’s narrow role in America, Canada, and the rest of the advanced democracies. I am curious about how the French educational system considers the role of the military, given that it is the advanced democracy with the most recent coup attempt. But the central point is that there is such a strong consensus in society and in the military that a coup would be inappropriate that few consider the matter at all.
Of course, the challenge is how to get from a to b: how to get from a weak democracy with a powerful military to a strong democracy with a military that holds a narrower conception of its own role in the society? Time, and hard work. Legitimacy and norms do not happen overnight, no matter how much international organizations like NATO try to inculcate civilian control of the military. Birthing these norms requires powerful individuals to be strong enough to decline power and to refrain from taking it. George Washington ran for only two terms and then stepped down. He had ample opportunities to undermine the United States’ fragile democracy as his term in office faced more than a little bit of rebellion and enjoyed considerable authority. Dwight Eisenhower, with his record in the Oval Office and famous speech at the end presidency warning of the military-industrial complex, reminded everyone that former Generals may not necessarily be a peril for democracy.
This is the classic question for democracy, for institutions, and for political scientists: when do the writing on the parchments matter? When do institutions bind behavior? When people think that they do; when people believe that the rules are binding and act accordingly. In the advanced democracies, we often disagree about many things. We often talk about crises in civil-military relations, but we rarely imagine coups and never plan them. In this case, not thinking about something is the first step towards the best outcome.
Great post on a great question. How can there a monopoly of violence, controlled by the military, and yet society is not ruled by a military dictatorship?
What are some recommended readings on this topic? So far I’ve only seen Wittman’s article “Hobbes and the Political Economy of Power.”
Dan Slater’s Ordering Power doesn’t specifically look at it, but it provides a good idea of the circumstances will seize power and whether it will be a factionalized military working with civilians or a unified military working against civilians.
There’s also separatism. France’s near-coup came as Algerian pied noirs and soldiers began to suspect that France was going to give up Algeria. I don’t know if Northern Ireland holds the same emotional response for the U.K. The U.S., however, has not faced the threat of losing territorial integrity since the 1860s.
Thanks a lot for the answer!
I’m still puzzled by the question you evoke in the last paragraph. I agree that the proximate cause for why soldiers stay in the barracks is to be found in some normative selfperception of their role in society. I just wonder about the degree of autonomy of such norms from other incentives.
My tentative answer to this point was that there must be something in the internal organization of the army (the way recruitment works; how hierarchy is organized; etc), so I’m glad you tackled it. Thanks again for the answer
You ask good questions that cannot be answered in a single blog post! I think the difference between advanced and less advanced democracies is very much about whether the norms are autonomous from other incentives. In the US, Canada, and West Europe, my guess is that the norms are entirely self-standing. Other incentives do not come into play for nearly all members of the militaries of these countries (note the news this week about four very low ranked American soldiers seeking to engage in revolt–exception that proves the rule). They don’t have to, as no one is thinking or planning or imagining. In less established democracies, the norms develop over time while other incentives (the risks of getting caught, the few benefits of winning, the acceptable status quo) play more of a role. Normal behavior–non-coup-ness–become norms as they become expected, standard behavior that is seen as appropriate–which takes time and repetition. The incentives prop up the norm until they are no longer necessary.
But they still exist to some degree. In emails, I got some folks asking about force structures, for instance. UK army always small, which limits ability to seize power–only so much ships can do. The US army is dispersed across the world, even in peaceful times and is certainly not concentrated in DC. So, a coup would be hard. But the force structure of advanced democracies is not driven by coup-proofing, unlike autocracies, but by votes to a certain degree. US has more bases in south and west because of the folks who sat on the relevant committees and because of the relative importance of some states in the electoral college.

Exactly 50 years after the death of family planning pioneer Dr Marie Stopes, leading sexual health charity Marie Stopes International (MSI) will be unveiling a bust in her honour. The ceremony will take place on Thursday October 2 at Marie Stopes House in Camden, a clinic which was formerly owned and managed by Dr Stopes herself.
This unique event will be attended by her son Harry Stopes-Roe, who will unveil the bust and give a short speech in honour of his mother. Other generations of the Stopes family will also be present, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The event will also coincide with the Royal Mail's launch of a commemorative stamp of Dr Marie Stopes on October 14th.
"Marie was a remarkable pioneer for family planning and women's rights and we are marking the 50th anniversary of her death by coming together to celebrate her life and work," comments Dana Hovig, Chief Executive at MSI.
You may also want to watch:
Dr Stopes was and still is a controversial figure. She set up the UK's first ever family planning clinics including the centre on Whitfield Street where the bronze bust will be unveiled on Thursday. All women, no matter what class, were welcome at this clinic and offered free birth control. The building was actually bombed twice during the Blitz of 1940, but repairs were quickly made and work continued as usual.
"Due to her tireless work and highly publicised campaigning, Marie managed to open up discussion about sex and change public opinion at a time when the Church, society and the medical establishment were opposed to birth control," said Hovig.

Description: I would like to welcome you to a dish from that imaginary café - Blue House’s delicious burger. I suppose this is my way of starting small.
Time to prepare the recipe: 20 minutes
Time to cook: 20 minutes
Duration: 40 minutes
Ingredients: beef, garlic, onions, flat-leaf parsley, egg, lettuce, tomato, red onion,
Have you ever daydreamed of something that you are really passionate about?
When sitting in your favourite spot, having a sip of cafe latte and staring blankly into the blue sky, I am sure in some way your mind would randomly take you on a trip to the miracle land of possibilities. I know because I have. Particularly, mine led me to the front porch of a small bistro, on the corner of a moderately crowded street. Its exposed brick walls were painted blue, and in the middle sat a red door. Once I turned my gaze up, hanging from the ceiling was a wooden inscripted sign that wrote, “Blue House Café”.
Why “blue”, you might ask? I later wondered about that too, since it isn’t my favourite colour (mine is black). I guessed my mind decided it had to be blue because it is the colour of hope and dream. I believe that we all sometimes need an escape destination to refuel in this hectic life, to dream away freely and to feel hopeful again. On the other hand, passion, desire and love would embody in the door’s red coat of paint. As customers opened it and stepped inside, I hoped they would recognize the fiery passion in my work, the desire to serve them better and the dedicated love in every cup of coffee and every plate of food.
A laid back atmosphere was what I aimed for in this daydream, separating customers from the urban life of everlasting traffic and worrisome problems. It would be the place where people could find their own corner, return to their senses, sit back and relax, while enjoying their cup of joe and listening to the soothing background music. On top of that, I hope I could use my knowledge, skills and love to pour into every Blue House’s dish, so customers could enjoy a second-to-none experience. The café’s menu would not have to be fancy or complicated, as my goal would be to offer foods that remind customers of home, dishes from moms and grammas that had brought joy to their childhood. They would all be simple and unadorned, yet sincerely delicious.
It is looking like I am starting to wander into the dreamland again while writing this haha. But hey, it is okay to dream right? I know there are a lot of things for me to learn and I still have a long way to go, but I am working really hard for it.
There is a saying that strikes deep in my heart, which goes, “Dream big, start small”. Therefore, today I would like to welcome you to a dish from that imaginary café – Blue House’s delicious burger. I suppose this is my way of starting small. And perhaps when some random day in the future arrives, feeling a bit exhausted from exploring a travel destination, you would stop at a street corner and look around. A place with blue brick walls and red door would appear in front of you that reminds you of a chef’s dream. Rest assured, you are guaranteed of a refreshing time and hearty meal once stepping inside.
Enjoy this burger recipe brought to you from the land of possibilities and may all your dreams eventually come true…
Blue House Café’s Burger
|Prep time||Cook time|
|20 minutes||20 minutes|
|Flat-leaf parsley:||1 bunch|
|Salt and pepper||According to taste|
Let your desire for the perfect burger guide you, here is mine:
1. Place your minced beef in the fridge, so it is cold which will help to bind with other ingredients. Meanwhile, prep up your “patty mixture” by finely mince garlic, parsley and small dice the onion. Combine everything into a bowl that is big enough for mixing, then crack 1 egg, add the measured ketchup, season with salt and pepper.
2. Using your hand and start mixing all the ingredients together. You will want your hand to become like a mixer, moving in a circular motion, kinda whip everything to bind it together (I learnt this technique from making Chinese wonton or dumpling filling, it is to ensure you filling will stick together, will not fall apart and also keep the filling very moist.). I apply this technique everything I make burger patties and they always come out perfect and juicy.
3. After everything has come together, you can portion it to your desire. I portion mine around 150gm to 200gm per patty.
4. Let you patty rest in the fridge so they can firm up a little and then start prepping your topping.
5. I simply cut up some lettuce, thinly slice tomato and red onion ( If you do not like the strong flavour of the onion, you can soak them in ice water and pat dry when use). I dice up some pickle and mix in with mayonnaise and ketchup, a quick thousand island kinda sauce.
6. When it comes to cooking the patty, you can cook them on a grill or you can pan fry them. I pan fried mine as I do not own a grill. By grilling, you will have that smoky flavour from your wood chips or charcoal, but with pan frying, you can add another layer of flavour to this simple patty.
7. My advice for pan fry method is treated your patty like how you would treat a steak. Get your pan on a medium-high heat, season both sides of the patty with salt and pepper, when the pan starts slightly smoky, add some oil and then in with your patty. Flip your patty when it nicely caramelised on one side, add in a knot of butter, some herbs if you want (garlic, rosemary, thyme and so on). Paste the patty with the browned butter and I am sure with you it will be worth it.
8. Place sliced cheese on top of your patty and let it melt down to the meat.
9. When the patty reached your desired doneness, take it out to rest, and then start building up your burger.

Another rain storm has descended upon us! More water for the rivers. Just wanted to dispell some strange myths floating around the Bay Area right now.... seems that a bunch of the rafting companies are claiming that the North Fork American River has just started its season. Ha! Well, tell that to the 300 people that went with us this season starting in March 2005. All those people rafted on river flows from 1,500 cfs to 3,000 cfs.
We started early because the river did. And our clientele know when the flows begin. We had some beautiful sunny days during April that are rivaling the sunny days now (well, not today... rainy today), but those were the hardy folks who had rafted with us in the past. Bookmark this website so that you, too, will be a better informed paddler. Start rafting in the early season with your core friends and then come back during the summer months with your friends, family & colleagues. If you have a question about rafting, don't hesitate to email us or call. We will give you the best, educated answer regarding flows. This weekend should be a blast on the South Fork and North Fork American River!

On Friday, thousands of Trump supporters began being purged from most major social media platforms before Trump himself was memory-holed from the internet.
At the same time, Parler was warned by Apple that its days were numbered, shortly before Google completely banned the app from the Play Store.
“We have received numerous complaints regarding objectionable content in your Parler service, accusations that the Parler app was used to plan, coordinate, and facilitate the illegal activities” at the US Capitol on 6 January, Apple wrote in an email to Parler executives. “The app also appears to continue to be used to plan and facilitate yet further illegal and dangerous activities.”
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: These same companies showed absolutely no concern when Black Lives Matter domestic terrorists were plotting their next attacks on their platforms, often with the endorsement of Democrat politicians.
Parler Chief Executive John Matze responded to the threat by posting; “Apparently they believe Parler is responsible for ALL user generated content on Parler. By the same logic, Apple must be responsible for ALL actions taken by their phones. Every car bomb, every illegal cell phone conversation, every illegal crime committed on an iPhone, Apple must also be responsible for.”
By 7 p.m. EST, it was reported that President Trump had officially joined Parler. It is currently unclear if big tech pulled the trigger early, if the site crashed from the rush of new users hoping to hear from the president, or if it was something more sinister.
By 7:46, Parler was banned from the Google Play store.
You will still be able to access Parler from your computer or browser.
Buckle up. They want you silenced.

IN OTHER NEWS:
Becky Sauerbrunn has signed with D.C. United Women. She is expected to play half the season for the W-League club, which is situated in a familiar place for Sauerbrunn. The move brings her back to the Maryland SoccerPlex, where she played for the Washington Freedom for two years before having to relocate to Florida when the team became magicJack. She also played collegiately at Virginia.
The Sauerbrunn deal is one long in the making. It was held up, I’m told, by some red tape and paperwork, but it always seemed likely once WPS suspended operations. Sauerbrunn is a spectacular addition for D.C. both on the field and off as a name that resonates in the capital region. Expect a couple of other names recognizable to WPS fans to find their way to the SoccerPlex, too.
“I think I can bring what I brought to the national team, which is sort of a calming influence,” Sauerbrunn said. “I’m not the strongest or the fastest but I feel like I can read the team well and I can help control the tempo.”
If you missed this piece about Alex Morgan and boyfriend Servando Carrasco, it’s a good read on how they have reunited in Seattle and now wear the same jersey.

These days, many fancams are filmed professionally and in high quality, to allow fans to really get a closer look at their favorite individual members. These are the current 21 most-watched fancams from 2020 so far. Many of them are from some of the most popular groups in the industry, but others might surprise you!


For many people, the thought of dealing with asbestos is an inconvenient hassle, not to mention something instantly written off as being ‘too expensive’ before any quotes are even commissioned. These types of reactions deter people from developing a true understanding of the potentially disastrous outcomes for themselves, their families, employees, neighbours, communities, and future generations. Consequently, too many decent people revert to illegal dumping, bidding for the ‘cheapest quote’ or just disposing of asbestos quietly in their kerbside otto bin.
There are 5 main ‘costs’ you should consider before you decide how to deal with asbestos
- The health of yourself, your family, or employees
- The health of the wider community
- The health of future generations
- The financial cost to taxpayers
Good health after inhaling asbestos fibres, is not something that anyone with endless amounts of money can buy. Once asbestos fibres have lodged in your tissue there is no known way of removing or neutralising them. Short cuts now to save money could effectively end your life.
Even once the asbestos has been removed from your home or workplace, if not done to the highest standards can still create deadly hazards. If fragments are left in the dirt or allowed to escape into the surrounding atmosphere, those microscopic fibres pose a risk to any subsequent users of the area including your family, friends and/or employees.
Health of the wider community
Every Australian may feel they have a right to choose their own health outcomes, but stop to think about the dangers to neighbours, employees, dump truck drivers, or anyone else who innocently inhales dumped, broken asbestos.
Disposing of asbestos in kerbside bins might seem perfectly innocent but spare a thought for people walking past and those disposing of the debris.
Health of future generations
In rural areas, its common practice to ‘save a few bucks’ and DIY your asbestos removal and disposal. The unfortunate truth is that ‘asbestos buried’ is not always asbestos gone. Underground water flow and weather events have managed to transport many broken pieces of asbestos into rivers, creeks, culverts, getting into waterways and putting people at risk. The other problem is, that future generations pose the risk of unwittingly digging up undocumented buried asbestos when they dig deeply for things such as foundations, water boring and to install underground services, putting their health at risk.
The financial cost to taxpayers
According to the Newcastle Herald, ‘an estimated 6,000 tonnes of asbestos are illegally dumped in Australia every year… costing taxpayers around $11.2 million in clean up costs.’ Every council in the country has lost a fortune in having to pay for clean-up and remediation costs of dumped asbestos. Unfortunately the clean up bills are always far higher than the initial cost to have the asbestos removed and disposed of correctly in the first place. The actions of a few are costing the rest of us greatly.
In 2019 new laws were passed in Australia to double the penalties for dumping, contaminating land and illegally disposing of asbestos. The penalties for individuals now start at $500,000 and $2 million for corporations.
Therefor the cost of a fine will far outweigh the cost of safe, responsible, licensed professional asbestos removal and disposal.
Next time you’re contemplating what seems to be a sneaky harmless shortcut on materials that may be asbestos, take a moment to weigh up the long-term impacts that could arise from your course of action.

While Florence certainly has wreaked havoc on auto sales in the Carolinas -- first as a Category 1 hurricane, then as lingering rain and floods -- the scale of its damage is expected to be a fraction of what Hurricane Harvey brought to the Houston area last year, according to industry analysts.
Black Book, a vehicle-value tracking firm, estimates the coastal communities affected by the storm to have a population of about 325,000, which would be about 5 percent of the more than 6 million people who live in the Houston metro area. (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration puts the total population of coastal North Carolina at about 1 million, although the brunt of the storm hit the southeastern portion of the state.)
The company estimated Hurricane Harvey to have damaged about 450,000 vehicles. (An estimate from Moody's put the total at 400,000, and Cox Automotive said about 600,000 vehicles were damaged or destroyed.) All told, Florence is expected to have wrecked about 20,000 vehicles, said Anil Goyal, Black Book's senior analyst, who also cautioned that the aftereffects of the storm are continuing to develop.
While Harvey was a bit erratic, Florence's track behaved mostly how meteorologists had predicted, Goyal said. Dealers knew the potential damage was high, and many were duly shifting their inventory to higher ground or secure locations. This may have further reduced overall vehicle destruction.
Cox analyst Jonathan Smoke also noted in commentary preceding the storm that vehicle density in Houston and the nature of flooding there after Hurricane Harvey created a sizable loss. But vehicle density in the broad path of Florence -- from Savannah, Ga., to Norfolk, Va. -- is about half that of Houston. That area has about 9 million vehicles in operation, with a density of 162 vehicles per square mile, compared with 326 vehicles per square mile in the Houston area, Smoke said. Smoke estimated 20,000 to 40,000 vehicles potentially destroyed in the Carolinas.
"Our estimate has not changed," Cox said in an update Tuesday.
Another contrast: When Harvey descended on the Houston area, the auto market was in the typical doldrums of late summer, and the disaster jumped-started demand, especially for used vehicles. But this year, the market is different. "In this case, the market is actually very strong today," Goyal said. Sales will only be bolstered further, and pricing pressure likely will increase, especially in the region affected by the storm.
"Vehicle loss from Florence expected to be a fraction of Harvey's impact" was originally published by Automotive News on 9/20.

South African Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius has released a statement fiercely denying that he murdered his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. He broke down in court as he was formally charged with her murder.
The athlete's family and management company said he disputed the murder charge laid against him on Friday "in the strongest possible terms." The statement, issued from London, added that Pistorius, 26, "would like to send his deepest sympathies to the family of Reeva."
Hours earlier, dressed in a dark suit, Pistorius stood with his head bowed as he appeared in court for the first time. He audibly wept when magistrate Desmond Nair read out the single charge.
Outlining the prosecutors' case, Nair indicated that Pistorius stood accused of "premeditated murder." He said a bail hearing would be postponed until Tuesday, allowing the defense more time to prepare.
Little is currently known about circumstances surrounding her death, although South African media reported on Friday that the shots that killed Steenkamp were fired through a bathroom door.
Police have not confirmed that report, but have played down earlier reports that Pistorius may have mistaken her for an intruder.
Shot four times
Addressing a crowd of reporters on Thursday, police spokeswoman Brigadier Denise Beukes said a gun recovered at the scene belonged to the Paralympian.
"She was hit by four shots," Beukes said, adding that wounds were found in the head and hand.
"It's a 9mm pistol. It is a licensed firearm. It is licensed to Mr. Pistorius," Beukes said.
She added that previous incidents of a "domestic nature" had been reported at the athlete's luxury home in a gated complex in Pretoria.
Commonly known as the "blade runner," Pistorius made history in 2012 when he became the first double amputee to compete in the Olympic Games.
He went on to win gold in the 4x400-meter relay and the 400-meter individual at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. The athlete also took home gold medals at the Beijing Paralympic Games four years earlier in the 100-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter races.
Pistorius races wearing carbon fiber prosthetic blades, having had both legs amputated below the knee as a result of a congenital condition before his first birthday.
Last year he was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine.

Idris Elba says a Luther movie 'will happen'
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 August 2020
London-born star Idris Elba has admitted he is determined to make a 'Luther' movie
Idris Elba is determined to make a 'Luther' movie.
The London-born actor – who plays DCI John Luther in the crime-drama series – has confirmed he's working towards turning the TV show into a feature-length film.
Idris, 47, told Digital Spy: "I've maintained that I'd like to see it come to a film. That's what I think we're headed towards, a film. I'm looking forward to making that happen.
"It is happening."
Rumours of a 'Luther' movie have been swirling for years, and Idris previously suggested he could take the drama overseas if he gets the green light to make a movie.
He explained: "'Luther' has all the ingredients to echo those classic films of the 90s like 'Seven' and 'Along Came A Spider'.
"I think what we'd like to attempt is use that as a blueprint to create it. It will be more murder, more Volvos, more frowning 'Luther'.
"Essentially we just want to try and take it to a much bigger remit and scale and perhaps international as well."
Last month, meanwhile, a report suggested Idris has been offered £5 million to join Apple TV+.
The acclaimed actor was reportedly tempted with the eye-watering sum of money to make TV shows and films for Apple, which is desperate to fight off competition from Netflix.
A source said at the time: "Landing a heavyweight multi-talent like Idris who is not just an actor, but a producer, director and musician is a coup for Apple.
"He's universally liked, extremely talented, versatile, and will bring in the viewers globally. For both parties it's a win-win situation."

When we talk about slip and fall injuries many assume that these are exaggerated by attorneys or invented by the “victim”. However, a slip and fall, no matter if it occurs in the home or while out shopping can actually be a serious, even life threatening accident.
Since a slip and fall or trip and fall can occur without warning, there is no way to prepare for such an accident. In a car you wear your belt, purchase a vehicle with air bags, all in the name of safety. However, a puddle left in the middle of an isle or an item left sticking out of a shelf creates a hazard that is impossible to prepare for.
Some slip and fall accidents just happen. However, these accidents often occur when someone, an employee, a business owner, fails to protect those around them. The ensuing fall and injury may be minor, or it may be something more serious like a broken wrist or back injury.
If you have been injured you may be eligible for compensation. The Connecticut attorneys at Glass, Lebovitz, Kasheta & Bren have recovered lost wages and medical bills for many clients. We work to ensure that both your mental and physical needs are met. Our goal is to get you the compensation you deserve, all while keeping you informed of any and all changes in your case.
A slip and fall case is most successful when evidence is gathered immediately. Do not hesitate. Call today. 1.860.257.1000

MANILA (UPDATE) - The House of Representatives temporarily shut down its complex in Quezon City beginning Thursday as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the capital region.
House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco said he ordered the 4-day lockdown as a precautionary measure.
House members and most of the employees at the complex will work through online communication platforms during the scheduled committee meetings, public hearings, and other events at the lower chamber during the 4-day lockdown.
"Everyone is enjoined to stay at home during the lockdown not just to protect ourselves but also to help arrest the spread of the virus," the House public affairs office said.
The complex's media center will also be closed, it added.
"Accredited media will still have access through the usual Zoom and livestreaming platforms during plenary sessions, committee meetings, public hearings and other events in the House of Representatives," the office said.
"Rest assured that the Media Center will be re-opened as soon as the situation improves."
The House has 33 active COVID-19 infections as of Thursday, said Secretary General Mark Llandro Mendoza.
House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez earlier said he tested positive for the virus, following Negros Oriental 1st District. Jocelyn Sy-Limkaichong and Anakalusugan Rep. Michael Defensor.
At least two lawmakers have died of the coronavirus, Representatives Francisco Datol and Ma. Bernardita Ditas Ramos.
The Philippines on Wednesday reported 4,387 new COVID-19 cases, raising the country’s total number of infections to 635,698, most of which were registered in Metro Manila.
The health department earlier in the day admitted that new COVID-19 cases in the country had reached the same peak level in July last year, noting as well the rise of infections in households or offices.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Melissa Lucio is days away from her execution date, and her family, as well as advocates, are asking for clemency. In a meeting held in Austin at the Commission on Criminal Justice Reform, Interim Study they heard from juror members and legal experts to discuss Lucio’s case.
Melissa Lucio was sentenced to death in 2008, for the murder of her two-year-old daughter Mariah. However, Committee Chairman Jeff Leach said they want to halt Lucio’s April 27 execution following questions about her trial.
“What I want to know more than anything as a citizen of this great state, is that the system can be trusted, that it’s fair, that it is reliable, and right now what I have as a policymaker is severe and sincere questions and concerns rather that is true,” said Leach.
Johnny Galvan is one of five members of the jury who regrets sentencing Lucio to Capital murder. He had his daughter read his written testimony at the meeting, revealing he would have changed his vote during the trial if he felt he knew everything.
“I didn’t know that is a long history of physical and sexual abuse that made her vulnerable to falsely confess. No one took us through the interrogation to show us how many times she asserted her innocence,” said Galvan.
Leach says one of Lucio’s options is for Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz to withdraw the execution date, since according to the committee, Saenz requested an execution date for Lucio, which at first Saenz said he wouldn’t.
“I’m not going to usurp the authority of the court of criminal appeals of the rights that they upheld, of the district court, of the circuit panel, of the Supreme Court I’m not going to all of a sudden unilaterally say ‘well I don’t care what they did and recall the warrant. I’m not going to do that,” said Saenz.
However, Leach says Saenz has the ability to halt the execution date for Lucio.
“I’m just going to state it, that you have the power right now tonight to withdraw this request. To push the pause button on this execution so exactly what you just said can take place so we can have new evidence presented, so there can be opportunity for cross-examination,” said Leach.
Later on in the meeting, Saenz told the committee why he does not believe Lucio’s execution will happen April 27.
Saenz says, “I believe the court of criminal appeals will issue a stay.” In return Leach asked him, “and why do you believe they will do that?” Saenz says, “because there’s a lot of pending motions that need to be heard.”
When asked by the Committee if the court does not take action by the time of Lucio’s execution date, Saenz says he will step in.
“To answer your question, I’m being asked if a court of criminal appeals or federal district court or any court with the jurisdiction over this case does not issue a stay by that day and there’s still motions pending then the right thing to do is not to go through with this execution and at that time I would ask for the warrant to be withdrawn.” However Saenz says there is an issue if it comes to that point, “now the problem that we have, is that I would have to ask the 138th District Court to withdraw the warrant. The defense has filed a motion to recuse said judge, so said judge wouldn’t be able to act on my particular request unless that issue has been put to rest by that time.”
Leach believes and hopes it can be worked out before Lucio’s execution date, if all three parties talk about it.

SOUTH Shields secretary Jeff Marshall insists the only priority for his side this season was survival.
The Shieldsmen, inspired by all-rounder Danny Shurben, rocked the Premier League on the first day of the season by beating Blaydon in their own backyard and with the Tyneside club now ready for revenge in the return fixture, an interesting encounter is about to unfold.
A repeat result tomorrow would complete a glorious double for the Wood Terrace side that would leapfrog the visitors in the league table.
Shields, who are backed by Pet Supermarket, are more than holding their own this season in their first crack at the Premier League, but Marshall insists his side are keeping their feet firmly on the ground.
He said: “Our aim has always been survival.
“We came into the Premier League a year earlier than any of us expected.
“You cannot pick and choose when you get promoted so we are just enjoying the experience and bidding to stay in the league.
“We know that Philadelphia and Hetton Lyons have struggled in the past few years but we are determined to stay up.
“We are looking fairly comfortable though and the rain in the last month has helped give us a bit of a reprieve.
“But we feel we are over our little slump and can finish the season on a high.”
Blaydon have recovered well since their opening-day shocker and will be hoping to keep up some pressure on South North and Sunderland at the top.
South North will be confident of seeing-off second-bottom Gateshead Fell in order to stay up there, while Sunderland face a more testing trip to Benwell Hill.
Tynemouth chairman Russ Perry has warned his side not to take things lightly in their home clash with bottom-of-the-pile Stockton.
Like the rest of the Premier League, Perry and Tynemouth are frustrated by the poor weather in the last few weeks and are desperate just to play a game.
Perry says: “It will be a big boost just for the lads to get in a game of cricket.
“It has been really depressing for us even though we have actually got a couple of games started.
“Hopefully, the sun shines this weekend and we can get a win to revive our season.
“We would still like to finish the season in a top-six position.
“During the winter we lost five players and there was a lot of doom and gloom around the place because there was some doubt that we could replace them.
“But we have a good group of young players like Barry Stewart, who has been fantastic with bat and ball this season, which has helped us.
“And we still have our Aussie player Angus Webster, who is champing at the bit to come in and show what a good player he is too.”
Tynemouth will welcome back opening batsman Iain Purdy, who is back from his studies at Warwick University and ready to play for the rest of the campaign.
And with skipper Graham Hallam also back into the fray, it’s looking good for Tynemouth.
However, Perry warned: “It won’t be easy.
“Stockton have a very talented side and some good players so we will have to be switched on.”
Elsewhere, Norton play host to Durham CA, while Newcastle are bidding to overtake Chester-le-Street in the top six.

Mr Evans, a wealthy self-made man and former chairman of Luton Town Football Club, was formerly Mr Redwood's Parliamentary Private Secretary and the man most credited with "humanising" him. His blunt outspoken manner will guarantee a gloves-off approach towards right-wing Euro-sceptics toying with the idea of supporting John Major as a "party unity" candidate.
Handling press and broadcasting falls to Hywel Williams, 38, until yesterday Mr Redwood's special adviser, and a former Rugby School housemaster, with Norman Lamont, the former Chancellor, as most prominent campaign spokesman.
Other prominent members of the team include David Martin, who resigned as Douglas Hurd's PPS because of differences over Europe, and Barry Legg, MP for Milton Keynes South-West and former Westminster councillor.
The campaign is urgently trying to find a campaign headquarters, having rejected Queen Anne's Gate premises that were originally considered. There were also promises to find a bigger Westminster room in which to hold news conferences following yesterday's shambolic affair.
Alongside most of the so-called whipless ones, Redwood backers declaring their hand yesterday included Edward Leigh, the former minister who led calls for a contest of heavyweights, Julian Brazier, the fundamentalist MP for Canterbury, Barry Field, the Isle of Wight MP tipped as a "stalking horse" last week, and Walter Sweeney, Vale of Glamorgan, and Bill Walker, Tayside North, both veterans of the Maastricht revolts. But Sir Teddy Taylor, Southend East, declared himself a "don't know".Reuse content

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – A Red Flag Warning issued for parts of the Bay Area has been extended through Monday morning as more thunderstorms are expected to soak the region amid a continuing heatwave.
The Red Flag Warning was first issued by the National Weather Service Saturday due to storms that began to develop in the South Bay and Santa Cruz areas.
It was originally set to expire Sunday at 11 a.m.
With the Red Flag Warning comes an increased risk of wildfires that may start near where dry lightning starts.
This means fires have the potential to spread quickly, especially with gusty winds onshore.
People are advised to take extra precautions when outdoors today.

Okay, so my design is simple enough, however, I have extremely limited sewing ability. Also known as next to no ability. So I had the thought to just get a skirt and a tank top for my base, and just dye it.. however, I'm not good with that either, in this instance, I think it's a little hard to exactly match Derpy's coloring.. it seems like a blue-grey. Is there a way to achieve this color for dyes?
D: I'd like to also make loose arm and leg warmers, and little wings for the back.. any advice?

Today is Election Day, though you might not have noticed. Typical for odd-numbered years, it’s been a quiet election season, and the turnout will surely reflect that. Just 33.70 percent of Texas’s registered voters participated in last year’s general election, and that number will surely be even lower this year, since the statewide ballot consists solely of proposed constitutional amendments.
Still, the propositions in question will have real implications for the people of Texas, including some of our state’s most vulnerable residents. Millions of Texans must decide some fairly significant local elections. Houstonians will elect a new mayor, and weigh in on the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance; my home district in the Texas House, HD 121, is going to decide on a replacement for the outgoing Joe Farias. And if you were among the Texans who was surprised and dismayed by the indictment of Attorney General Ken Paxton, just months after he was sworn in as the state’s top law enforcement official—well, at the risk of being a scold, you really have no one to blame but yourself for that, but perhaps you can look at this year’s elections as a shot at redemption.
The Secretary of State’s office has the information you need about where and how to vote, as well as a preview of what you’ll see on the ballot. If you’re in a last-minute civic scramble, here’s a quick crib sheet about what to do once you get in the booth. The most consequential of the seven propositions are No. 1 and No. 7.
Proposition 1 proposes to raise the homestead exemption from $15,000 to $25,000 for local school district taxes. This would save the average homeowner a couple hundred dollars a year on their property taxes, but it comes with a heavy cost: The state is constitutionally obligated to pony up. Covering the school districts’ lost revenue will cost about $1.3 billion in the next two fiscal years, if this thing passes, and every biennium thereafter. Since the Lege is seemingly disinclined to raise taxes or otherwise expand extant revenue collections, this money will have to be found elsewhere in the state’s notoriously lean budget. I pay property taxes in Travis County, but I’ll be voting no on Proposition 1, possibly with enough force to break the machine.
Proposition 7 proposes to guarantee more funding for transportation, largely by dedicating a portion of the motor vehicle sales tax to the highway fund rather than to general revenue; Aman Batheja explains it in full detail at the Texas Tribune. I’m voting yes on this one. Even the most conservative among us, I think, would agree that infrastructure is a core function of government, and I can’t speak for everyone, but I’ve spent many hours sitting in traffic contemplating Texas’s dramatic economic and population growth since the beginning of the century.
As for the others, your vote may hinge on whether you’d like to see the Lege take an ambitious approach to policy-making during its brief and madcap sessions. If so, you might want to cast a protest vote against something like Prop 6, which calls for a constitutional amendment recognizing that Texans have the right to hunt and fish, but might be described as a solution looking for a problem, while actual problems went neglected by our representatives. My own feeling is that legislators, like officials, should first do no harm, and voting yes on Props 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is a way to provide them with some positive reinforcement.

As the weeks draw closer to this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo hosted in Los Angeles just next month, more information on what publishers and more importantly titles that will be present at the June event. Atop of the dozen of developers that Nordic has acquired within the past two years, the two unlabeled titles are said to be from “beloved franchises” which is sure to get fans antsy for the announcement in less than a month.
This information was revealed through floor plans for the publisher which detail two unannounced titles which are expected to be announced later at E3.
The first plan reading “the long-awaited return of a galactically beloved game/franchise.” Looking at THQ Nordic’s previous releases, it is known that the publisher released Red Faction Re-Mars-tered just last year, giving the implication for a new title in the series. Seeing that the franchise’ last installment dates back to 2011 with Red Faction: Armageddon, it looks that a new title is long overdue.
Following with the second plan stating that the second unnamed title is a “new vision for a beloved franchise.” The second statement being vaguer compared to the more apparent plan leaves the question of what franchise exactly is THQ Nordic referencing?
Reflecting to last year, it was announced that the publisher acquired the publishing rights to over a handful of Nickelodeon games that the previous THQ originally held before closing in 2012. The chances of seeing one of the listed series from the television network is on the table as the publisher planned to bring the nostalgic titles to modern hardware.
What are your thoughts on the two undetailed titles?

Costume is the most visual way to distinguish each character and their purpose. When everybody gets into costume for the first time and performs the routine, that’s when the story is easiest to follow.
The first part of coming up with a costume is to discuss the intentions for the character.
If the character is a dancer, can they move or will they be obstructed? Make sure the wearer is able to perform. Try loose fitting items or stretchy materials to make it as easy as possible for the wearer to move around.
- Do they have a costume change?
How easily and quickly can they change from one costume to another? Is there any way to have the second costume concealed underneath? Think about how long it will take the wearer to make and how feasible the change will be on the day.
Once you know what the characters part in the piece is you can start to make the costume and so… materials! Where to start?
Costumes do not have to be extravagant and cost lots, as long as they are fitting to the theme and character you’re good to go! Some schools will add a small budget to buy costumes in whilst others will decide to make theirs in house. Ask your team if they know anyone with seamstress skills, you never know the hidden talents some people might have! You could also consider asking other schools or a local theatre group if they have any old costumes they are willing to pass on. Reuse and Recycle! Think about using materials that are easily found such as bin bags, curtains, old t-shirts/ dresses etc, I’ve seen quite a few teams use things like bin bags and duct tape to create coats and trousers and they looked stunning onstage (one team actually won the national award for Costuming Character doing this). It shows that you don’t need huge amounts of money to succeed.
If you are working in a team, you could share the workload and delegate tasks to other helpers. It could be one person’s job to oversee the creation process, whilst another could be tasked with making costumes for a specific group of characters which have the same materials – and so on. Also if you are an adult/parent lead costume team, encourage the students to get involved! It was my involvement with my school that got me into university!

One of Southold’s oldest and most historic locations has a new addition thanks to a donation from a frequent local benefactor.
The cemetery committee of The Old Burying Ground next to First Presbyterian Church of Southold dedicated a new entryway Friday morning. The project was completed thanks to a “very generous gift” from the Charles and Helen Reichert Family Foundation, said cemetery director Jane Andrews.
Joel Snodgrass is an architect with more than two decades of experience in historic preservation and conservation projects across Long Island.
For the past four years, he has been working with a team of volunteers to repair cracks, remove unsightly caulking and shore up fallen stones at the Old Burying Ground in Southold. The work has restored dozens of stones in the historic cemetery, located next to First Presbyterian Church in Southold. READ
Riddled with lichen, cracking near the base or leaning forward, the headstones at Southold’s Old Burying Ground were in a state of disrepair last spring. READ
Over 150 years ago, at a time of political unrest, members of the Mattituck Wide Awake club, a paramilitary group associated with the Republican Party at the time, marched through Southold during a torchlight parade holding a banner and showing their support for Abraham Lincoln, who won the election of 1860 the following day.

I absolutely love peanut butter. I know lots of people do but unlike most people it's not something I grew up eating. In fact I don't ever remember having it as a kid. I do remember craving it when I was pregnant though and ate stacks of spelt toast with peanut butter and a sprinkle of sea salt all 3 times!
We only buy the good stuff these days, that is freshly ground 100% peanut butter with no oils or salt or anything else added. It's brilliant on crunchy green apple or even just straight from the tub on a spoon.
I was in the mood for something sweet and cool and peanut-buttery and came up with this gorgeous pie for dessert one weekend way back when I should have been packing for our move. I made it again last month and it was equally delicious. A crunchy chocolate base topped with smooth and creamy filling that was almost like ice cream. Yum!
I splurged on medjool dates for this which you can find in the fresh food section of Coles and Woolies near the herbs. You could definitely use regular dried dates instead they may just take a little extra blitzing for the filling to become really smooth.
This sets hard in the freezer so be sure to take it out at least 20 minutes before serving.
My Frozen Peanut Butter Cream Pie (Dairy Free)
200g raw almonds
75g medjool dates
20g coconut oil
20g raw cacao
Place all ingredients into the food processor and blitz until the mixture forms sticky crumbs (TMX 30 secs / SP 5). Press the mixture into the base of an 8 inch spring form pan lined with baking paper and place into the freezer while your prepare the filling.
200g natural peanut butter
60g medjool dates
270ml coconut cream
30ml milk of choice
20g maple syrup or raw honey
Wipe out the processor (no need to wash it) and add all ingredients. Process until smooth, around 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on your machine (TMX 30 secs / SP 7). Pour over the prepared base and place back into the freezer to set for 4-6 hours or overnight.
Remove from the freezer at least 20 minutes before serving.
