PIEDMONT — The Piedmont Police Department has a new captain — Chris Monahan, who has a wide range of experience in his 27 years with the San Jose Police Department.
Monahan began his post on Monday and will oversee all aspects of operations in the department.
The position was open for six months. Capt. Jeremy Bowers took over as police chief from retiring police Chief Rikki Goede on Nov. 11. Since that time, other members of the department have shared the captain’s duties.
Bowers began searching for a replacement four months ago.
“We put out notifications of an open position, but there was not the robust talent pool Piedmont deserved,” Bowers said. “So we hired a recruiter to cast a wider net.”
Bowers said there were 21 applicants, winnowed down to seven final candidates.
“We wanted to take our time, have the process be inclusive and transparent,” he said.
Two separate oral panels interviewed the candidates. One panel consisted of chiefs of police from other municipalities, public safety officials. The second was made up of city department heads, the Appreciating Diversity Committee and police officers association.
“We wanted different perspectives on who was the best fit for Piedmont. Chris was the most qualified,” Bowers said.
Monahan, 52, a San Jose native, began as a police cadet in 1980 in San Jose. He worked his way through the ranks, leaving San Jose police as a lieutenant.
“I always wanted to be a cop. As a kid, I stumbled onto the Explorer Unit. I liked that. I jumped on the path and never looked back,” Monahan said.
He became a patrol officer with the San Jose Police Department in 1990. He earned his bachelor’s in business and management in 1994 from San Jose State University. He obtained an occupational teaching credential in 1997 from the state of California, and was a POST (Peace Officers Standards and Training) Command graduate in 2013.
He was adjunct instructor for the Administration of Justice program at San Jose City College, lead instructor for DragNet — street racing enforcement — and lead instructor at the San Jose Police Academy on traffic enforcement, DUI and collision investigations.
His wide-ranging experience with the San Jose Police Department included work on financial crimes, crime analysis, the family violence unit, urban area security and field training. He served as a sexual assault detective, and received several awards, including the San Jose Mayor’s Recognition Award.
Monahan and his wife live in unincorporated Santa Clara County. One son joined the U.S. Army right after graduation and is an active-duty infantryman who may be deployed to South Korea or Iraq, his father said.
Monahan’s other son is a junior in high school. The new captain enjoys boating, kayaking, cycling and street and dirt motorcycling.
Monahan’s salary will be $171,000 per year, “the top step given his experience and his advanced POST certification,” City Administrator Paul Benoit said.
“We have a talented and committed team at the Piedmont Police Department. That talent, with the chief’s position and Chris in the captain’s seat, will serve this community extremely well,” Benoit said.
“I have had the pleasure to work with Captain Monahan on a number of projects,” Chief Bowers said. “I am truly excited he will be joining our team.”
Monahan said he is looking forward to his new post, as well as the move from a large police department.
“I am ready for a different speed,” he said.

The apostle Paul lived for several years in Ephesus, a port city in the wealthy capital of the Roman Empire’s province of Asia. From there he brought the good news of Jesus Christ to people in surrounding cities and towns. He mentored a cosmopolitan group of Jews and Gentiles from all over the world who believed in Jesus. An altercation over pagan religion required him to leave before he wanted to, but the people he loved remained in his heart and prayers.
In the first half of his letter to these believers and those in neighboring cities, Paul explains what it means to have a new identity in Christ. In the second half, he tells how to live in light of that new identity. Paul’s words continue to have great application for believers today. Knowing who we are—our identity in Christ—and what that means is essential to how we live.
Earl Grey with Ephesians is a six-week study that explores the answers Scripture provides for “Who am I” and “Why am I here?” as well as how to live in light of these great realities. Leader’s guide included.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Ghetto Rags Detroit scene was the birthplace of a number of influential street legends. These individuals, known as “Ghetto Rats”, paved the way for a wave of young, aspiring rappers and hip-hop artists to come out of the city. Today, these street legends are still making waves.
West Side vs East Side
Historically, Detroit has been split into two separate parts: the West Side and the East Side. The West Side is located west of Woodward, while the East Side is located east of Woodward. These two areas have different populations. The East Side consists of mostly Europeans, while the West Side is predominantly WASP and Jewish.
The West Side of Detroit is also less industrial than the East Side. The East Side has been settled by Germans, Irish immigrants, and Polish immigrants. The East Side was reincorporated as the City of East Detroit in 1929. It has also benefited from the revitalization of its waterfront. This has led to more development and construction in the area, as well as the development of the nearby casino complex.
Families Left Detroit
During the 1950s and 1960s, hundreds of families left Detroit (Ghetto Rags) for the suburbs. The population loss increased following riots. The city lost local businesses, and new laws encouraged African Americans to move into 12th Street, which was a shady area full of shady characters.
As the population of Detroit decreased, many residents began to relocate to the suburbs, especially to Oakland County. In the 1970s, a new era began in Detroit. The Italian Mob had controlled the streets of Detroit for years, but it was beginning to lose its grip. This led to new civil rights groups and radical approaches. The Adult Community Movement for Equality (ACME) was among the groups that helped organize the East Side’s fight for racial equality in Detroit. ACME leaders often faced harassment from police. They also sent out questionnaires to ask residents about their biggest issues, such as discrimination, hospitals, and government retraining programs.
Murder For Hire
Getting charged with murder for hire is not a fun experience. Even if you are not found guilty, you can spend years in prison without ever being seen. This is the reason why it is important to hire a Detroit murder attorney. If you are accused of this crime, contact an award winning attorney from SBBL for a free consultation.
If you are looking for the best criminal defense lawyers in Detroit, contact SBBL at (313) 740-4744. Our award winning attorneys will give you a free case evaluation and will fight for your freedom and liberty. A free consultation is the best way to find out more about the legal system in Michigan. We will help you with everything from your initial consultation to the trial.
Detroit Unsealed (Ghetto Rags)
The federal prosecutors in Detroit unsealed a case that involved murder for hire. The case centered on the murder of Nikolla Berishaj. This was a rare homicide in the suburbs of Macomb County. According to prosecutors, Berishaj was shot multiple times. The Berishaj family is the main victims. The crime was investigated by the FBI. The prosecutors charged James Deshawn Williams with the crime. He entered a not guilty plea in federal court in Detroit.
The indictment said that the most important thing to know is the fact that James Deshawn Williams was not actually charged with murder for hire. He was accused of using a motor vehicle to commit the crime. This is the only charge against him.
Whether you’re in the market for a new car or you’re just looking for a fun night out with friends, the Street legends Ghetto Rags aka Ghetto Rags has got you covered. It’s a street style night meet that’s open to all make and models. In addition to the usual suspects, you can score some VIP display spots for your show car. This isn’t your usual auto show; it’s a celebration of all things street and a celebration of the Detroit’s legendary automobiles. So if you’re in the market for a car or you’re just looking for shady fun night out with friends, then Ghetto Rags is the place to be.

Scramjet prototype tests Purdue hypersonics additive-manufacturing capabilities
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A team at the Purdue Applied Research Institute (PARI), the university’s research and development center, is using state-of-the-art additive-manufacturing equipment to print a full-scale, fully operational prototype of a supersonic combustion ramjet, or scramjet, an engine that allows aircraft to travel at speeds of Mach 5 and beyond.
Researchers in PARI’s Hypersonic Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (HAMTC) believe this innovative scramjet design paves the way for more affordable and expedient prototyping and manufacturing processes across the hypersonics industry.
“There’s no other university-affiliated institution with the capability to manufacture and then test hypersonic technologies at flight-relevant scales and conditions,” said graduate research assistant Will DeVerter, who created the full-scale scramjet prototype with senior test engineer Nick Strahan. “Once we have a part or system ready to go, I can walk it across the street and test it using some of the best propulsion and diagnostic technology in the world. That’s a unique capability that streamlines the entire manufacturing and testing process.”
Strahan likened scramjet functionality to trying to light a candle in a hurricane. “You have to sustain a flame in air speeds in excess of Mach 2, so the technological challenge is creating a combustor that can operate efficiently and burn fuel with air traveling at really high velocities,” Strahan said.
Mark Lewis, president and CEO of PARI, said that scramjets are still in their infancy “but are generally regarded as the best way to power a missile or aircraft through the atmosphere at speeds above five times the speed of sound, in the so-called hypersonic realm.” Scramjets are “very simple in principle,” Lewis said, “but extremely complex in actual design,” which is why using additive manufacturing has been such a breakthrough.
Printing and testing a scramjet can be expensive and time-consuming. Most applied research labs with additive manufacturing capabilities can only print small, scaled-down versions for testing. These models are then extrapolated to create full-size scramjets, whose parts must be printed individually and then assembled. However, using the enhanced manufacturing technology available at PARI, researchers can print full-scale, fully operational production models.
The additive manufacturing center is in PARI’s Hypersonics and Applied Research Facility and provides a one-stop shop for manufacturing innovations that can be transitioned to the defense market. Michael Sangid, HAMTC’s executive director and the Reilly Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering, said the full-scale scramjet prototype showcases the center’s potential to revolutionize the hypersonics industry.
“The scramjet pilot project is a great example of our vertically integrated capabilities,” Sangid said. “We can take raw powder and turn it into representative test data from a fielded prototype in a few short months. This leverages the flexibility of additive manufacturing into the component’s design to increase efficiency.”
Key to the prototype are weight and part reduction without compromising the functionality and geometric complexity necessary for the engine to work. This effort is accomplished with the GE Concept Laser X Line 2000R, a printer used for large-scale metal manufacturing. The X Line 2000R employs a process called laser-powder bed fusion, where the laser in the printer melts and fuses together particles to form a solid part. Because of this capability and the printer’s large capacity, fewer parts are required to build the engine; that allows for rapid prototyping with increased design complexity and simplified assembly.
This prototype not only uses PARI’s machinery but also serves as a test bed for experiments and new technologies. The additive manufacturing center is adjacent to Purdue University’s Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories, among the largest academic propulsion labs in the world. This project integrates PARI’s manufacturing capabilities with Zucrow’s high-speed propulsion test facilities, which can simulate conditions at Mach 5 and higher, as well as provide laser-based diagnostics of materials at high speeds.
A faster, more efficient process ultimately cuts costs and helps to meet the nation’s demand for more advanced hypersonic technologies. Senior project manager David Bretz coordinates all aspects of this project and sees its potential impact on national security and the defense industry.
“Because of the faster and less expensive scramjet design, we’ll be able to more easily prototype it, test it and then go back and iterate the design, which will contribute to the nation’s hypersonics knowledge base and increased capabilities,” Bretz said. “Also, students are involved throughout all aspects of the project, from the design to the manufacturing process to testing. Purdue students from undergraduates to the graduate level are learning the skills needed to work in the hypersonics industry.”
Carson Slabaugh, the Paula Feuer Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Sangid are the faculty leads on this project. The scramjet effort is one of five projects funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense Manufacturing Science and Technology Program, partnering with the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, and the National Security Technology Accelerator’s Strategic and Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems.

Definition of Tradition, Kyoto Prewedding
The getting together of a male and female in marriage is considered to be a sacred bond. With this aspect in common, each culture has its own customs and traditions to do with marriage. The wedding dress is one of the most important elements of a marriage which speaks a lot about the culture of the region. The Chinese wedding dress with its uniqueness is a prominent symbol of the Chinese culture.
Kyoto, same with the tradition and historical birthplace in Japan, which is a unique, exotic, cultural, romantic in the ancient capital. The idea from Icy who has mixed up a different traditional get-together. The atmosphere of it does seem pretty match up with the scene to be.

As usual Samantha Towle has written another great story with a truly awesome story and a great lead characters. Mia was was someone who felt real and truly came in to her own and showed that no matter what life deals you that you always have an inner strength to fight I felt awed by her determination to get help and to get better. Jordan as the male lead was a true hero and the love he had for Mia was so beautiful and true that I found myself a little envious! The thing I love about ST is that she is not afraid to show the love her male leads have fir their counterparts and I always find it so adorable to read their POV, I have to admit though Jordan and Dozer the dog made this story for me I think I have found a new book boyfriend go team Jordan!!!

Diljit Singh Dosanjh is the heartthrob choice of music lovers. He is a young Punjabi singer who belongs to jatt sikh family and was born on 6th january 1984 in the village Dosanjh Kalan, near Phagwara, Punjab. He spent his tender age in the village and later the family shifted to Ludhiana where he did his schooling.
Diljit got his musical guidance from S. Gobinder Singh Allampuri Ji, Prof. Kartar Singh Ji, Hari Dutt Shsrma Ji (Principal of Dosanjh College) Daljit Dhurkatia.
S. Rajinder Singh gave him the first break in his own music company known as Finetone.
T-Series released his first debut album “Ishq Da Uda Ada”. Diljit was so much fond of music since his childhood His first album got the huge success and the album became super hit. Later came the album called “Dil” that has given hit tracks at that time. One of the song named “Dil Sade Naal Lala” was a must played track in the weddings and parties during that time. His album “Smile” was the best selling album in the year 2005. It gave a superb dancing number to the youth which became popular as “ Nachdiyan Aalarhan Kuwariyaa”. Later “Ishq ho gaya” came up in a romantic blend. This has given famous tracks like “Ishq ho gaya” and “Daaka”.
His fans love to call Diljit as “Dancing machine” as he really rocks while he performs on stage. “Panga” & “Lak 28 Kudi Da” are entitled as the best successful songs in his singing career. “Panga” belongs to the album “The Next Level”,which itself was a blockbuster and was also the best selling album of the year 2009.
“The Lion Of Punjab” was the first Punjabi movie in which Diljit made his acting debut as a lead actor in Feb 2012. But unfortunately, this movie did not achieve the applause. Later in June 2011, he gave a blockbuster with Gippy Grewal and Neeru Bajwa and this movie became the highest revenue generating movie. Now his romantic comedy movie, “Jatt & Juliet” with Neeru Bajwa has rocked the world by breaking all the records. “Jatt Romantic” and “Sadi Love Story” are his other projects after that.
In his singing career, Diljit has got the pleasure to work with many renowned Music directors like Sachin Ahuja, Jaidev Kumar, Bhinda Aujla, Sukhpal Sukh, Pavneet Birgi and many more. Diljit is really having a never-ending fan following and his fans love him and his voice deep from their hearts.

Question about 1990 Jaguar XJ6
Try tracing the fuel line from the gas tank to the fuel injection. If you are unable to find it then most likely the filter is located in the fuel tank with the fuel pump if equiped with an electronic fuel pump. Some fuel pumps are located in the tank, by the tank, or on the engine. either way if you trace the fuel line you should find it unless it is in the gas tank like I mentioned. Good Luck!

GWCL to spill excess water from Weija dam; residents alerted
The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), is warning residents living around the Weija Dam to evacuate the area to forestall any eventuality or take immediate precautionary measures to protect life and property.
This warning comes ahead of the GWCL's routine excess water spilling of the Weija Dam.
In a statement issued and signed by the Public Relations Officer of the company, Stanley Mantey, on Tuesday, May 29, 2019, the GWCL explained that the decision was taken because of the onset of the rains and the rising water level..
READ ALSO: Stonebwoy's daughter Jidula jams to his Shuga song with Beenie Man after seeing video on TV
“With the onset of the rains, the water level is rising and getting close to the safe operating level of 47ft. Like every dam, its safe operating levels are maintained to prevent it from possible collapse.
GWCL is, therefore, warning members of the general public as well as institutions or organisations which have property downstream of the dam that, the opening of the spillway gates may cause flooding,” the statement noted.
The company mentioned Tetegu, Oblogo, Pambros Salt and Lower McCarthy Hill as some of the areas to be affected. Other areas to be affected are Lower Weija, Bojo Beach, Ada Kope and Tsokome.

After four years of research, RocTool has released the Cage System, an innovative process for the fabrication of composite materials.
This process uses inductive heating which permits the rapid heating of only the surfaces of the mould. The inductors form a cage around the cast and, after positioning the material to be transformed, an electromagnetic field is created and electrical currents directly heat the mould’s surface. Built-in conventional cooling channels mean that the part is cooled prior to extraction.
This process is claimed to eliminate the need for mould preheating and reduce energy consumption, as well as reducing cycle times and hence production cost by 30 to 40 %.
RocTool plans to create a new production line of composite parts in Chambéry, France, at the end of 2004. Exclusively equipped with the Cage System, this new line will be dedicated to industrial companies wanting to make their parts with this process before investing in the technology. The Cage System is also available through licensing agreements.
Cobra International will showcase a range of composite products at CAMX 2018, including carbon fibre components for the automotive, transportation, marine, water sports and luxury sectors.
UK company Prodrive Composites has developed a process for manufacturing recyclable composite components that can satisfy future end-of-life requirements without any compromise in the performance of the original parts. The company says the P2T (Primary to Tertiary) process not only simplifies recycling, but endows a composite material with the potential to fulfil three or more useful lifetimes.
Designers at Elemental Motor have utilised tailored fibre placement (TPF) to extend the use of carbon composites in its RP1 sports car.

Kochi: Kerala High court on Tuesday dealt a body blow to Canara bank for troubling a die-in-harness job candidate for 18 years via litigation, despite two favourable orders.
Kerala High court ordered Canara bank to pay a doubled compensation of 10 lakh and job in one month.
In response to approaching the court for third time in the same case, the court ordered the bank to pay GK Ajith Kumar a doubled compensation, and job in a month.
Following the death of Kollam native Gopalakrishnan in 2001, kin Ajith Kumar applied the bank on 2002 January for employment applicable under die-in-harness rules.
However, the bank rejected the application. Much as having a favourable order, the bank again denied the employment citing that the applicant’s age overlapped the employable age limit.
While applying, Ajithkumar was 8 months past the employable age limit of 26 years. Approaching the court again, Ajith Kumar got another favorable order directing the bank to pay a compensation of 5 lakh and job in 2016.
When the bank again approached the court raising its old arguments, the court ordered a doubled compensation and job.
The court observed that the bank had not considered the conditions applicable to age limit in die-in-harness employment.

Artwork (5e Variant Rule)
From D&D Wiki
Altough you are inside an immaginary world your players might be wanting to have a way to express their character feelings through art, or even doing it for necessity. Here i will be considering the Paiting/Sculpture sense of the art, I believe that Bards had it cover with the musical/dance/theatrical part of the art.
Your player needs to make three consecutive checks in a row so that they can achieve what they are trying to do, Your player will be needing a Painter's kit/ Sculptor's kit, if there aren't any on the wiki, take into consideration how hard it would be to find paint, and the materials required for sculpting in your world. Remember that they can always try again, if it isn't up to their taste, they just need more material, and time. And the patrons that requile a exquisite work have both the money for materials and the patience for receiving a work of art.
The checks are as follows :
- Charisma: Performance
- Dexterity: Sleight-of-Hand
- Wisdom : Perception
Add up the results of every roll, and reveal the results to your player.
DC : =<15 - Not even fit to be called a work-piece, no one can call it art, although you put your heart and soul in the manufacturing of it, you feel ashamed to bring it to this world.
DC : =<20 - A struggling art-piece, the blunt mistakes almost bring a gentle charm to it, some people might consider buying it, but not for much money. 5cp ~ 15cp
DC : =<25 - An average art-work, not impressive by any means, but it does bring you pride. People are somewhat interested in your ways of art, but not too much, to only pay heed to you. 2sp ~ 1gp
DC : =<30 - Your work seems to attract more glances than many other artists around you, you didn't see it before, but you truly did an art-work. The beauty is blooming and the patrons are taking interest. 2gp ~ 10gp
DC: =<40 - The name of your artwork is on the mind of people that see it, and the visage of it makes them feel happy with themselves, every detail has a meaning and your name is being traveled throughout cities now. 15gp ~ 30gp
DC: =<59 - An art-work never seen before. It inspires the people that see it, be it joy, sadness, or fear. Your artwork is thought provoking, you see people often staring at it, any other art-work near yours, gets immediately outshined. People would pay a lot of money for this. 35gp ~ 50gp
DC: 60+ - A true Work-of-Art, There no mistakes, every detail has been added, everybody has at least heard the name of your art. There are thousands of meaning in your art, and all of them are true, however only you truly knows what it means. Kings and Queens, utter your name when thinking of an artist for a portrait, anyone would be foolish to pay you less than your art-work is deserved. 60gp +
The DM should take into consideration the size of the artwork, for smaller ones, a day should suffice, for a medium to big size art-works, it should take a Week or more worth of work.
Large ones should take up to a month, and huge ones such as the ones at Sistine chapel's walls, could take anywhere from a month to a year.
Remember to up their pay based on the size of the art-work as well.
=Small x0.5 =Medium x1 =Large x2 =Huge x4
- Portraits need to be made in-front of the person, or the #Perception check, should be made at disadvantage.
- The player can have mercy rolls, like a single advantage for Large and two for Huge art-works. (Taken into consideration because of the time that it takes)
- Finding someone to buy it may be just as hard as making the artwork. Keep that in mind.
Remember as the dm, you may increase, or lower the DC however you wish, the same goes for the money that the player receive.
This "table" is aimed at low-medium level pc's 5~10, after this levels, they can find work that pays better than this, probably.
If there are any misspellings please fix them, i will be very thankfull for it.

“The Whiskey Ain’t Workin'”
Travis Tritt and Marty Stuart
Written by Ronnie Scaife and Marty Stuart
Radio & Records
#1 (1 week)
January 31, 1992
A honky-tonk duet gives a Country Music Hall of Famer his only No. 1 hit.
The Road to No. 1
Marty Stuart joined Travis Tritt on their legendary “No Hats” Tour, and they collaborated many times over the years, beginning with “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’.” While Tritt had become a fixture on the top of the charts with his debut major label album, Stuart had been toiling away in the music industry for years, joining Lester Flatt’s road band while he was still a teenager. He played with Flatt until his retirement in 1978, then recorded an independent album before going on the road with Johnny Cash.
Drawing on his bluegrass routes – and connections – he released Busy Bee Cafe on Sugar Hill Records in 1982. Stuart was still active as a side musician throughout the eighties, but also landed a major label deal with Columbia. His first album produced the top twenty debut single “Arlene,” but that was his biggest success with them. His second album, Let There Be Country, wouldn’t be released by the label until after his MCA breakthrough.
When Stuart signed with MCA, he finally broke through to the top ten with “Hillbilly Rock,” which was enough to power the album of the same name to gold status. He followed it with Tempted in 1991, which included three top ten hits. The title track went to No. 5 and ended up his highest charting solo single ever.
The No. 1
Stuart co-wrote “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’,” and it played well off of the well-balanced personalities of Stuart and Tritt, which made them seem like a duo out of a buddy action comedy.
Their high energy approaches came from different perspectives – Tritt’s southern rock and Stuart’s rockabilly – but they melded together perfectly. It isn’t always the case with star pairings, but these two together were more than the sum of their individual strengths, which were already formidable.
For those keeping track at home, this would be the third straight classic single in a row from Tritt, and he was doing so well at the time, he was able to bring his buddy along for the ride to the top.
The Road From No. 1
Tritt still has some more No. 1 singles on the way, but Stuart’s time at radio slowed down pretty quickly. He paired with Tritt on the lead single and title track of This One’s Gonna Hurt You in 1992, and although it went gold, their duet was Stuart’s final top ten appearance.
He continued to record for MCA, ending his run their with the critically acclaimed The Pilgrim, and went on to a successful career on independent labels which netted him multiple industry awards. He also is a renowned country music historian, being a key figure in the well-received PBS Country Music documentary. Tritt is still waiting for the call, but Stuart was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2020.
“The Whiskey Ain’t Workin'” gets an A.

Publication is no longer the key to obtaining federal copyright as it was under the Copyright Act of 1909. However, publication remains important to copyright owners.
The 1976 Copyright Act defines publication as follows:
"Publication" is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of persons for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display constitutes publication. A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication.
A further discussion of the definition of "publication" can be found in the legislative history of the 1976 Copyright Act. The legislative reports define "to the public" as distribution to persons under no explicit or implicit restrictions with respect to disclosure of the contents. The reports state that the definition makes it clear that the sale of phonorecords constitutes publication of the underlying work, for example, the musical, dramatic, or literary work embodied in a phonorecord. The reports also state that it is clear that any form of dissemination in which the material object does not change hands, for example, performances or displays on television, is not a publication no matter how many people are exposed to the work. However, when copies or phonorecords are offered for sale or lease to a group of wholesalers, broadcasters, or motion picture theaters, publication does take place if the purpose is further distribution, public performance, or public display.
Publication is an important concept in the copyright law for several reasons:

Many couples preparing to walk down the aisle in Illinois do so with the anticipation of staying united in matrimony indefinitely. Unfortunately, circumstances can change, and knots can be untied. According to one study, nearly 60 percent of couples surveyed believed financial issues were “somewhat” responsible for the end of their marriage. Approximately 20 percent of divorced respondents felt financial matters were a more of significant factor, and nearly 30 percent cited their spouse’s credit score as a source of marital stress.
It’s stats like these that have some relationship experts suggesting that partners begin discussing finances while still in the dating phase before marriage. Such efforts may include meeting with a certified financial planner or therapist before exchanging “I dos.”
While prenuptial agreements are on the rise among millennials, it’s still rare for most married individuals to have such documents. However, prenups can help protect certain assets and establish some guidelines that may minimize disagreements should a marriage end. Two parties preparing for life together may also benefit from an honest pre-marriage discussion about their existing financial well-being along with plans for their financial arrangements during a marriage, such as whether bank accounts will be jointly managed or separate.
Couples may be better off heading into a marriage if they also make an effort to set financial goals together. One suggested way to do this is for couples to have regular meetings specifically about their finances and joint goals before and during their marriage. Additionally, it’s recommended that spouses share passwords with one another even if accounts will be separate so that a partner can access funds easily in the event of an emergency.
Whether or not financial planning was done in advance, an attorney might be a valuable ally in the event of a divorce. If a prenup exists, a lawyer may review the document to ensure that terms are still fair and reasonable. If this documentation does not exist, an attorney may offer advice about asset distribution and arrangements for spousal and/or child support.

Absent parents shamed on website
Absent parents who refuse to pay maintenance for their children could be named and shamed under plans to reform the Child Support Agency (CSA).
Letters will be sent to parents to ask their permission to name their former partner on the CSA's website.
Critics described the move and other measures including the removal of passports and curfews as "gimmicky".
The bill setting out what happens when the CSA is scrapped next year is to published.
Under the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill, the CSA will be replaced by the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission (C-MEC).
The government says C-MEC will have tougher powers to force absent parents to pay for their children.
Imposing a curfew on parents
who refuse to pay for their children
John Hutton, the Work and Pensions Secretary, said: "There are a small number of parents who seem to think that paying for their kids is something they can simply choose not to do.
"It isn't. And these new powers will mean that non-payment brings real and lasting penalties.
"The new rules will be simpler and more transparent, making it harder to hide income and giving us the power to deduct money direct from bank accounts as well as from earnings."
C-MEC will also work with government bodies including the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise to establish parents' income and set maintenance levels.
The shadow minister for family welfare, Maria Miller, said the proposed changes would not come fully into effect until 2013, offering "little support for the 1.4m families who are already stuck on the current failing system".
"These families need to see positive changes to the system now, which is why we have proposed the fast tracking of changes to the assessment process as part of this bill," she said.
"We must ensure the government is not inadvertently creating CSA mark three."
She added the Conservatives would put forward constructive proposals "to help restore parents' faith in the system" after studying the bill's details.
David Laws, the Liberal Democrats' work and pensions spokesman, said it was a "disgrace" that the government had taken 10 years to reform the CSA and "unforgivable" that the reforms would not come fully into force for six years.
"The CSA needs root and branch reform not a gimmicky re-branding exercise.
"Naming and shaming and placing curfews on absent parents who fail to pay their child support may grab a few headlines but it will be little comfort to the families who are owed up to £3.5bn in child support back-payments," said Mr Laws.
He added: "The CSA needs immediate wholesale reform moving its collection functions to the Treasury who are far better placed to enforce deduction of earnings, and creating a transparent appeals mechanism."
Family lawyer Kim Fellowes told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she had "grave concerns" about the plans.
She said naming and shaming was unlikely to make parents pay maintenance but the "real worry" was how it would affect children.
Ms Fellowes told the programme: "We are going to have children at school who will be told by other children in the playground that they have seen their father on the website.
"That raises considerable human rights issues. And how are these children going to be protected?"
The CSA already had "extensive powers" it was failing to use, including the power to sell people's homes, she added.
"Surely that is the biggest incentive for a parent to pay," Ms Fellowes told Today.
In the first round of naming and shaming, more than 100 parents are being targeted. Most will have been found guilty in open court this year of failing to provide information or providing false information.
The parent who looks after the children will be first asked to give their permission for their former partner to be named.
Anyone who has faced action in the family courts for non-compliance will not be included as legal restrictions prevent that from happening

text: Semantic diversity–a metric that captures variations in previous contextual experience with a word–influences children’s lexical decision and reading aloud. We investigated the effects of semantic diversity and frequency on children’s reading of words embedded in sentences, while eye movements were recorded. If semantic diversity and frequency reflect different aspects of experience that influence reading in different ways, they should show independent effects and perhaps even different processing signatures during reading. Forty-nine 9-year-olds read sentences containing high/low frequency and high/low diversity words, manipulated orthogonally. We observed main effects of both variables, with high frequency and high semantic diversity words being read more easily. These results show that variations in the amount and nature of contextual experience influence how easily words are processed during reading.

How is royal birth an element of heroism? Please explain, thank you.
Royal birth is an element of heroism because many royal houses (families) are who they are due to the valorous deeds of one or more members of their ancestry. These family members either a) fought b) conquered c) seized, or d) dethroned someone else for their own gain. In ancient times this was not seen as "politically incorrect" but actually as a sign of inner courage, power, and strength. Many kingdoms, to this day, are disputed as to how some of their kings or queens gained power. One thing is for sure: The power is often always gained by very heroic and extraordinary battles.
Most current royal families come from a history of wars, seized crowns, betraying conspirators, and loads of lands and money. The English court can boast the 7 years war, the 100 years war, the Wars of the Roses, 1066 Hastings, and tons more. The Spanish court can claim the exile of the Arabs from Spain, the Armada, the Spanish American War, and tons others more. The Romanovs, the Hapsburgs, the Battenbergs, all those royal families have endured harsh wars to either protect or obtain land and power. This is probably why this is seen as an element of heroism.

Lillian was a mum to four young children. She did not have much time to be involved in things outside her home. But she liked to go to meetings where she saw other people. They could discuss politics. Her love of talking to others led to her involvement in many local campaigns. She continued this work throughout her life.
In Lancaster, like many other places, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) activism has always been linked to the LGBT social scene. LGBT social spaces can be places to meet others, have fun and explore your sense of identity. They can also be places to network, and to raise awareness and funds for social action.
the miners' strike 1984-1985
The Miners’ Strike of 1984-5 was an event of huge national significance. Lancaster citizens formed a Miners' Support Group. They hosted a summer camp for families from Northumberland. Locals also hosted miners who came to Lancaster to protest at the neighbouring port of Glasson Dock. Links across the country made a strong community for action.

One of the best books that I read while pregnant to prepare for labour was Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth.The book is divided into 2 sections, the first is full of positive birth stories, the second is tips and advice to make labour easier.
Ina May Gaskin is America’s foremost midwife and has compiled a lot of information tips and advice to help get you through labour without intervention.
While I was going through labour, the chapter “Let Your Monkey Do It” carried me through, I let my body do what it had to and followed its cues as to how to make the labour easier.
My labour was easy. It lasted only 6 hours and I had no medications or interventions. It was the labour and delivery I wanted. Both my husband’s support (and back massage), and the information from the book helped to get me through the labour the way I wanted. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a natural medication free birth.
Tell me what books or tips helped you through labour?

Seven inmates killed in riot at maximum-security prison
Seven inmates were killed and 17 others injured after fights broke out late Sunday inside a notorious maximum-security prison in South Carolina, officials said Monday.
State Law Enforcement Division agents helped secure the Lee Correctional Institution about 3 a.m. Monday after the fights began at 7:15 p.m. Sunday, prisons spokesman Jeff Taillon said.
No officers were hurt in the violence at three housing units, he said.
The maximum-security lockup in Bishopville — 55 miles east of Columbia — houses about 1,500 inmates, some of South Carolina’s most violent and longest-serving offenders.
In late March, prisoners briefly held an officer hostage after they took control of part of a dorm, The State reported.
After the incident was brought under control, the officer was evaluated by medical personnel and released. No inmates were injured.
In February, one inmate killed another at the prison. In October 2017, an inmate was stabbed to death, and another was killed in a fight last June.
In 2015, two officers were stabbed in a fight.
