Employers can't force new hires to sign arbitration agreements, top Kentucky court rules
Kentucky private businesses and public agencies statewide may need to dramatically alter how they hire workers after a key court decision last week.
The Kentucky Supreme Court's ruling Friday essentially banned the practice of requiring prospective workers to sign agreements that would enact binding arbitration instead of lawsuits should they try to leave under duress.
"It's a very big deal, and makes Kentucky unlike 49 other states right now," said Rick Bales, an employment law expert and law professor at Ohio Northern University who previously worked at Northern Kentucky University.
"It basically makes these pre-employment arbitration agreements null."
The ruling stemmed from a Boone County case involving former employees of the Northern Kentucky Area Development District, one of 15 such agencies statewide.
Florence-based NKADD uses federal funds to provide health care services to the elderly and disabled as well as job training and economic development services to the region. It oversees programs throughout Boone, Campbell, Kenton, Gallatin, Carroll, Owen, Grant and Pendleton counties.
The agency previously required its workers to sign such pre-employment agreements calling for private arbitration in case of an employment dispute.
That came into conflict with state and federal whistleblower laws when two former agency workers filed lawsuits against the agency in late 2014 and early 2015. Both women complained they were fired or harassed after they brought forward evidence of fraud and mismanagement.
The two women also argued that the requirement that they submit to arbitration as they fought their case violated state and federal whistleblower laws that allow for access to the courts.
Such agreements are common in the private sector, but not so much in the public sector. But the Kentucky Supreme Court went beyond just the public sector in its unanimous ruling; it instead ruled all such agreements illegal in the state.
The state law "invalidates arbitration contracts when the employer evidences an intent to fire or refuse to hire an employee because of that employee's unwillingness to sign such a contract," the court wrote. "This is not an attack on the arbitration agreement – it is an attack on the employer for basing employment decisions on whether the employee is willing to sign an arbitration agreement."
The lawyer for the two women welcomed the decision, which sent the case back to Boone County Circuit Court for a possible trial.
"No longer can there be any doubt that you can't require an employee to sign an agreement to waive their employment rights as a condition to become a new employee," said Shane Sidebottom, the lawyer representing the two women.
NKADD had argued that federal law that allows such agreements to take precedence, especially since the agency uses federal funds and the Federal Arbitration Act is fairly broad.
"It truly is a ruling of statewide import," said NKADD lawyer Jeff Mando. "The fairly common and efficient practice of using the arbitration process has now been upset. NKADD was trying to save taxpayer money by using this to avoid lengthy lawsuits as do many employers."
Mando said NKADD is weighing its options, which include asking the Kentucky Supreme Court to reconsider, appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court or asking the Kentucky General Assembly to craft new legislation to avoid conflicts.
The agency has not yet decided whether to alter its hiring practices, Mando said.
The U.S. Supreme Court only hears about 100 to 150 cases a year out of 7,000 applications for relief. But experts say the court has worked in recent years to expand the reach of the federal law covering arbitration agreements.
University of Louisville law professor Mark Rothstein agreed that the ruling could be read to ban all such agreements, even for existing employees as well as prospective hires.
But Rothstein added he would not be surprised if the U.S. Supreme Court reverses the ruling when it comes to private companies.
"The ban for public agencies is certainly defensible as a narrow reading but I don't see the U.S. Supreme Court upholding a total ban on all arbitration agreements in the private sector," Rothstein said.

So much for "reforming" Medicare: Seven in 10 Americans believe
that proposals to add prescription drugs to the Great Society
program either will "have no effect" or "make it worse" on their
That's the result of a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Sept. 2. About 42 percent of 805 adults surveyed say the proposals approved by Congress will "have no effect" on them. Nearly 29 percent say the bills would "make it worse," according to the poll.
Congress passed two separate proposals in June that would make prescription drugs available to all Medicare patients. Since then, a Capitol Hill committee has been working out the differences to produce a single bill for President Bush to sign.
The poll's findings do not shock health-care experts at The Heritage Foundation. In fact, the only thing that surprises us is that more people didn't say the bills would make life "worse."
The proposals are "full of nasty surprises," says Heritage health-care expert Robert Moffit. For example, under the Senate bill, more than 4 million retirees could lose their private drug coverage and be dumped into Medicare, according to estimate from the Congressional Budget Office. Also, the proposals could cost as much as $2 trillion by 2030.
Seven out of 10 Americans know these proposals are no good. Congress should, too.

Last Thursday I attended an event - the release of "Priming the Computer Science Teacher Pump: Integrating CS Education into Schools of Ed." Mark Guzdial wrote about it here. You can also download the actual report here.
I agree with a number of the challenges in creating CS teacher preparation programs that were outlined in the report and I also agree with the idea that a strong CS teacher preparation program should prepare teachers to teach any (and in the case of the programs I designed, create new) curriculum but I wanted to focus on one specific item that was brought up last Thursday. The item deals with how much CS content a K12 CS teacher actually needs.
The speaker at the event - I forget which one pointed out that a K12 CS teacher doesn't need the same content knowledge as a full CS major let alone graduate student. This is something I wholeheartedly agree with. The speakers throughout the event also emphasized that CS teachers need enough content knowledge to be "generalists" and teach any reasonable CS experience. Again, a point on which I agree.
The point that concerned me - not in terms of the presenters intent but rather in how I feel things will play out was when the presenter said something to the affect (and I'm paraphrasing here):
Math teachers don't need the same level of math content knowledge as math majors. That's why we have "math for math teachers."
I was immediately reminded of a conversation I had once with a colleague. He was looking over a student's college transcript and noticed a course "Math for Math Teachers" and thought, "I always thought that it was just math!!!!!"
To many teachers, titles like "Calculus for Math Teachers" like those similar courses "Calculus for Poets" or, the famous "Math for Trees" are code for watered down math for non-math majors courses. From what I can gather many of these courses are more Math Ed courses than Math but offered through a school's Mathematics Department rather than through an Ed school or department. They make sure that candidates fill the "enough graduate math credits" bucket. Everyone goes along with a nod and a wink and life moves on. I want to emphasize that there's nothing inherently bad with many of these courses - many are quite good but they're content heavy education courses masquerading as pure content courses.
I managed to avoid doing any of that in my programs current design but I did have to add a graduate algorithms class that I'm not entirely happy with - I feel that it's requiring a level of depth that K12 CS teachers will never need.
Across all subject areas we should just acknowledge that K12 teachers don't need a huge amount of graduate subject area credits. In my view, teachers need depth a bit beyond the most advanced core course their students will take and a good deal of breadth. Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to play this song and dance this dance of creating "special" subject courses for teachers.
The real thing to watch out for is how this is already playing out in computer science. Colleges are starting to offer classes for K12 computer science teachers. I've seen a few course descriptions and syllabi and spoken to a number of people involved with some of these classes. It's typical to see something like "Java Programming for CS Teachers" as opposed to a "first in CS sequence programming course using Java." Look under the hood and you'll find it's really "APCS-A for teachers" - not creating a generalist teacher but rather taking us right back to preparing them to ape specific curricula and sequences.
We can do better.

United States District Court, M.D. Pennsylvania
JOSE F. SANCHEZ-ANGELES, Petitioner
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al., Respondents
M. MUNLEY, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Jose F. Sanchez-Angeles (“Petitioner”) filed the
instant petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2241 on December 29, 2017, challenging his
April 22, 2004 judgment and sentence entered in the United
States District Court for the Western District of Texas.
petition is presently ripe for disposition and, for the
reasons set forth below, the Court will dismiss the petition
for lack of jurisdiction.
February 17, 2004, Jose F. Sanchez-Angeles pleaded guilty [in
the United States District Court for the Western District of
Texas] to all counts of a five-count indictment in which he
was charged with: count (1) conspiring to smuggle, transport,
and harbor illegal aliens in violation of 8 U.S.C. §
1324; count (2) harboring illegal aliens in violation of 8
U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii); count (3) providing a
firearm to an illegal alien in violation of 18 U.S.C. §
922(d)(5)(A); count (4) conspiring to use a firearm during a
crime of violence as alleged in count (5), in violation of 18
U.S.C. §§ 924(c) and 924(o); and count (5)
conspiring to take one or more hostages in violation of 18
U.S.C. § 1203. Each count also alleged aiding and
abetting under 18 U.S.C. § 2. On April 22, 2004,
Sanchez-Angeles was sentenced to, inter alia,
imprisonment for concurrent terms of 120 months on counts
(1), (2) and (3), 240 months on count (4) and life on count
(5), as well as to concurrent terms of supervised release of
three years on each of counts (1) through (4) and five years
on count (5).” United States v.
Sanchez-Angeles, 138 Fed.Appx. 642, 644 (5th Cir. 2005).
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
affirmed the judgment and sentence on July 1, 2005.
Petitioner launched a number of collateral attacks. He filed
a motion to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255,
on June 21, 2001, challenging the imposition of a term of
supervised release. (See U.S. District Court,
Western District of Texas electronic docket, USA v.
Sanchez-Angeles, 1:03-cr-0309, Doc. 45). The district
court denied the motion on July 3, 2007. (Id. at
Doc. 56). He filed a second motion to vacate pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2255 on November 2, 2009. (Id. at Doc.
75). The sole issue raised in his second motion was that
“his sentence was unreasonable because it is greater
than necessary, too draconian for purposes of sentencing, and
the Court would not have sentenced him if the Court had
viewed the sentencing guidelines as advisory as required
under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125
S.Ct. 738 (2005).” (Id. at Doc. 77, p. 2). The
district court dismissed the motion pending authorization
from the court of appeals to file a successive motion.
(Id. at Doc. 77, p. 3; Doc. 84). In 2014, the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals denied a motion to file a second or
successive § 2255 motion. (Id. at Doc. 98). In
2017, he filed a motion for modification of sentence, which
the district court construed as a motion to vacate under 28
U.S.C. § 2255. (Id. at Docs. 99, 100). On May
31, 2017, the district court dismissed the motion without
prejudice because Petitioner had not obtained approval from
the court of appeals to file a successive motion.
(Id. at Doc. 101).
filed the instant petition claiming actual innocence based on
Bailey v. United States, 516 U.S. 137 (1995),
Rosemond v. United States, 572 U.S. 65 (2014), and
United States v. Prado, 815 F.3d 93 (2d Cir. 2016).
(Doc. 1, pp. 10-17). He also includes ineffective assistance
of counsel claims. (Id.).
to the legality of federal convictions or sentences that are
allegedly in violation of the Constitution may generally be
brought only in the district of sentencing pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2255. Okereke v. United States, 307
F.3d 117 (3d Cir. 2002) (citing Davis v. United
States, 417 U.S. 333, 342 (1974)); see In re
Dorsainvil, 119 F.3d 245 (3d Cir. 1997). Petitioner
filed the instant § 2241 petition to challenge the
legality of his conviction and sentence.
petitioner may only resort to a § 2241 petition in the
unusual situation where the remedy by motion under §
2255 would be inadequate or ineffective. See 28 U.S.C. §
2255; see Dorsainvil, 119 F.3d at 251-52.
Importantly, §2255 is not “inadequate or
ineffective” merely because the sentencing court has
previously denied relief. See Id. at 251. Nor do
legislative limitations, such as statutes of limitation or
gatekeeping provisions, as is the case here, placed on §
2255 proceedings render the remedy inadequate or ineffective
so as to authorize pursuit of a habeas corpus petition in
this court. Cradle v. United States, 290 F.3d 536,
539 (3d Cir. 2002); United States v. Brooks, 230
F.3d 643, 647 (3d Cir. 2000); Dorsainvil, 119 F.3d
at 251.). “Our Circuit permits access to § 2241
when two conditions are satisfied: First, a prisoner must
assert a “claim of ‘actual innocence' on the
theory that ‘he is being detained for conduct that has
subsequently been rendered non-criminal by an intervening
Supreme Court decision' and our own precedent construing
an intervening Supreme Court decision”-in other words,
when there is a change in statutory caselaw that applies
retroactively in cases on collateral review. [United
States v.] Tyler, 732 F.3d  at 246 [(3d
Cir. 2013)] (quoting Dorsainvil, 119 F.3d at 252).
And second, the prisoner must be “otherwise barred from
challenging the legality of the conviction under §
2255.” Id. Stated differently, the prisoner
has “had no earlier opportunity to challenge his
conviction for a crime that an intervening change in
substantive law may negate.” Dorsainvil, 119
F.3d at 251.” Bruce v. Warden Lewisburg USP,
868 F.3d 170, 180 (3d Cir. 2017).
states that “[a]t no time before plea nor during plea
hearing, did plea counsel…the prosecutor, nor the
Court inform or explain to [him] that to charge §924(c)
use and carrying of a firearm, namely, a shotgun, during in
relation to a crime of violence as charged in Count 5, the
Government was required to prove that the firearm was
actively employed meaning an operative factor at trial, and
the Government had that burden of proof beyond a reasonable
doubt to the jury.” (Doc. 1, p. 10). Hence, his plea
was involuntary and unintelligent in light of Bailey v.
United States, 516 U.S. 137 (1995). (Id.) As
Respondents note, Bailey was decided in 1995,
approximately nine years prior to Petitioner's guilty
plea. Thus, any challenges to the legality of the sentence or
claims concerning the effective assistance of counsel based
on Bailey were readily available to Petitioner at
the time he filed his direct appeal and during any collateral
also argues that he is entitled to relief via
§2241 because he “is ‘actually innocent'
of aiding and abetting in the conspiracy to smuggle,
transport and harbor aliens 18 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)
conviction absent advance knowledge of cohorts use or carry
of a firearm during and in relation to crime of violence
§ 924(c), rendering his plea unintelligent and
involuntary in light of Rosemond v. United
States….” (Doc. 1, p. 14).
Rosemond held that in order to convict someone of a
§ 924(c) offense under an aiding and abetting theory,
the government must prove “the defendant actively
participated in the underlying drug trafficking or violent
crime with advance knowledge that a confederate would use or
carry a gun during the crime's commission.”
Rosemond v. U.S., 572 U.S. 65, 67 (2014).
Court of Appeals affirmed Petitioner's conviction on July
1, 2005. Rosemond was decided on March 5, 2014.
Supreme Court holdings made after a conviction has become
final may not be used as the basis for a collateral challenge
to that conviction unless the rule has retroactive effect.
See, e.g., Schriro v. Summerlin, 542 U.S.
348 (2004); Teague v. Lane, 489 U.S. 288, 301
(1989). In order to have retroactive application, a Supreme
Court holding must set forth a “new rule” that is
either “substantive” or is a
“‘watershed rule of criminal procedure'
implicating the fundamental fairness and accuracy of the
criminal proceeding.” Schriro, 542 at 351-52.
The holding in a given case qualifies as a “new
rule” if it “breaks new ground or imposes a new
obligation on the States or the Federal Government” and
if “the result was not dictated by precedent existing
at the time the defendant's conviction became
final.” Teague, 489 U.S. at 301.
Rosemond Court did not pronounce that it intended
its holding to be applied retroactively and the rule set
forth therein does not satisfy the requirement of
constituting a “new rule.” The Supreme Court gave
no indication that its holding broke “new
ground.” Rather, it explained at length that existing
precedent dictated its holding. See Rosemond, 572
U.S. at 75-79. Federal courts addressing challenges similar
to Petitioner's have universally concluded that
Rosemond does not apply retroactively. See,
e.g., United States v. Newman, 755 F.3d 543, 546-47
(7th Cir. 2014) (discussing Rosemond in context of direct
appeal from conspiracy conviction); United States v.
Davis, 750 F.3d 1186, 1192-93 (10th Cir. 2014)
(suggesting prospective application only: “After
Rosemond, a jury instruction on aiding and abetting
§ 924(c) should address the defendant's advance
knowledge of the gun.”); Gonzalez v. Baltazar,
No. 3:17-cv-759, 2017 WL 2175804, *3 (M.D. Pa. May 17, 2017);
Williams v. Spaulding; 3:15-cv-1992; 2015 WL

A design for a large, nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was unveiled at the seventh maritime and defense show (IMDS’2015) held last week in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Krylov State Research Center—a government-owned scientific institute specializing in marine technologies—showed a scale model of a “multipurpose aircraft carrier” that was comparable in size to the U.S. Navy Nimitz class. The Russian ministry of defense is funding Krylov’s work under Project Shtorm (Storm).
The carrier measures 95,000 to 100,000 metric tons by displacement, with a length of 330 meters (1,082 feet) and a width of 40 meters (131 feet). It has a “twin island” layout similar to that found on the new British Queen Elizabeth-class carriers. In addition to the big ski jump in the bow, characteristic of previous Russian carriers, the Shtorm comes with a second, smaller, one at the end of the angled deck. According to Krylov’s leaflet, the carrier is outfitted with two catapults. The scale model showed four. Other visible characteristics include four arrestor wires, four aircraft elevators, two cranes and several multi-tube rocket launchers.
The carrier would have a crew of 4,000 to 5,000, and an air wing of 80 to 90 aircraft. The scale model included combat aircraft on the flight deck that were reminiscent of a navalized version of the Sukhoi T-50 PAKFA fifth generation fighter with folding wings and empennage; AWACS aircraft that resembled a single-tailed American E-2C Hawkeye; and Kamov Ka-27 series helicopters.
Vice admiral (ret.) Vladimir Pepelyaev, head of R&D ship design and programs division at the Krylov’s center, told AIN that “we determined the ability of the industry to build such a ship…the associated risks and costs…as well as development potential of such a project.” Pepelyaev described the model exhibited at IMDS’2015 as “an export version…a derivative of the main one developed for the Russian navy.” He said that a key design target for the carrier was the ability to launch multiple aircraft—a mix of air defense fighters and heavily loaded strike aircraft—using several catapults and ski jumps. Russian industry has built and trialled an experimental electro-magnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS), but the Russian Navy has not yet confirmed whether it is an option for the new carrier.
Local media outlets estimated the construction cost of such a ship at 160 billion Roubles (nearly $3 billion), not including the air wing. The high cost of aircraft carriers has previously discouraged the Russian navy, whose only operational carrier—the Admiral Kuznetsov—was commissioned in 1990. The Shtorm is roughly 1.5 times larger the Kuznetsov, and twice the size of the INS Vikramaditya that Russia delivered to India in November 2013.
In Pepelyaev’s view, Russia and India can cooperate in executing their national carrier programs. Perhaps the main idea behind the Shtorm design is not so much about the Russian navy but about keeping India’s and China’s interest in military-technical cooperation. Both countries have ambitions to develop powerful blue-water fleets. But they lack experience, technologies and knowledge, which the Kremlin is eager to sell to its largest international customers for weapons.

Linaclotide (Linzess, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals/Allergan) is now available in 72-μg capsules for treatment of adults with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), the companies announced.
The new US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)–approved dose will provide physicians with "dosing flexibility based on individual presentation or tolerability, in treating the large and heterogenous population of adult CIC patients," the companies said in a joint news release.
The new dose is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2017.
Linaclotide is now available in three dosage strengths: 290 μg for adults with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and 145 μg and 72 μg for adults with CIC.
Taken once daily at least 30 minutes before the first meal of the day, linaclotide helps relieve the abdominal pain and constipation associated with IBS-C, as well as the constipation, infrequent stools, hard stools, and incomplete evacuation associated with CIC.
The approval of linaclotide 72 μg is based on results from a phase 3 clinical trial involving more than 1200 adults with CIC. Compared with placebo, the 72-μg dose demonstrated statistically significant improvement in complete spontaneous bowel movements over 12 weeks.
The most common adverse event was diarrhea, although the rates of diarrhea and of discontinuation due to diarrhea were numerically lower for the 72-μg dose than for the 145-μg dose in this trial, the companies said.
Linaclotide has met all primary endpoints in each of the five pivotal US phase 3 trials, spanning three doses and two indications, the companies note.

Metastatic cancer is responsible for 90 percent of cancer deaths. The promise of nanomedicines for the treatment of disseminated tumors is the ability to target therapies directly to disease sites, avoiding toxic side effects by preventing accumulation in healthy tissues. We are developing new nanoparticle drug delivery systems to specifically target metastatic tumors. We collaborate with cancer biologists and clinicians to translate these therapies to the bedside.
We are also developing nanoscale sensors to detect cancer at its earliest stages. Using novel nanomaterials with unique optical properties, we are making it easier to identify disease biomarkers within the body, permitting detection before symptoms arise.
To enable the discovery of new medicines, we develop new tools for drug development and biomedical research. We are making sensors and probes to quantify molecules in live cells and tissues that could not be measured before. These technologies allow researchers to ask unprecedented questions and accelerate biomedical discoveries.

An award-winning Wolds businessman has called for a more co-ordinated approach to marketing tourism in Lincolnshire.
Since moving to the county eight years ago, former Leicestershire police inspector Rob Folwell and wife Jeanette have made a big success of Greetham Retreat Holidays - their holiday cottage and caravan business.
At a recent conference at Louth’s Brackenborough Arms Hotel, Mr Folwell described how the couple had converted a pest-infested barn in a neglected crew yard into four-star holiday accommodation, focusing on guests who particularly appreciate nature.
The cottages are situated near Horncastle and have won a host of prestigious awards.
Among its attractions are a dragonfly-friendly wildlife pond and a wildflower meadow over which barn owls are regularly seen at dusk as they hunt for voles and shrews.
One of the 30 or so on-site nest boxes has even attracted a pair of kestrels.
Although pleased with the 77 per cent occupation rate the cottages, Mr Folwell said he felt the figure could be higher - if marketing and tourism in the county were not so “fragmented”.
He expressed disappointment at the quality of the county council’s Visit Lincolnshire website and said the Wolds missed out on two other similar sites - one chiefly promoting Lincoln and the other marketing the coastal strip between Mablethorpe and Skegness.
“We’re the bit in the middle,” he declared.
“Nationally, the Wolds is not well known.
“If all the county’s publicity and marketing resources were brought together, we could all benefit each other.”
About 100 delegates attended the meeting, organised by the Greater Lincolnshire Nature Partnership, which shares offices with the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust at Banovallum House in Horncastle.
Keynote speaker, expert Dr Simon Woodward, of Leeds-Beckett University, suggested a November “sealfest” ought to be organised as a commercial spin-off from the breeding colony of seals at Donna Nook.
Earlier, the director of Butlins Skegness, Chris Baron, was critical of people who did not recognise the commercial importance of holiday visitors to the county.
He insisted: “Tourism is a proper business, not a Cinderella industry!”

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
The final installment of the "Millenium trilogy".
I'm a little bit interested in the subject of Freakonomics, but not enough to see it in a theater. I'll wait to see it on DVD - maybe, lol. Other than that, I'm not interested in any of them this week.


text: This has to be one of the best clips to hit the internet recently. If you wonder how the mind of a child works, the above video is a great example. This video certainly brings back memories of the first time I saw Luke Skywalker buy R2 and the shiny guy at a garage sale on the big screen. What’s really great about this clip is the fact that a movie made in 1977 is still entertaining for people of all ages. Star Wars will certainly be a timeless film.

The North Carolina legislature has had a remarkable session. In fact, the amount they have been able to accomplish is almost jaw-dropping—not because it was particularly productive but because it was so bold and unabashed it its attack on low and middle income families and basic elements of democracy. Among the legislative lowlights:
The legislature also passed legislation that implements significant barriers to voting, including new photo ID requirements, shortening the early-voting period before Election Day, ending same-day registration, and prohibiting high school students from pre-registering to vote before their 18th birthdays. Demos’ President, Miles Rapoport, warned of the disastrous consequences of these actions.
Yesterday, the North Carolina legislature turned back the clock on the freedom to vote to the pre-civil rights era. Its repeal of Same Day Registration (SDR); drastic reduction of early voting; imposition of a strict, government-issued photo ID requirement for voting; and other rollbacks will create huge new barriers to the vote for thousands of North Carolinians.
These extreme measures will fall most heavily on African Americans and other communities of color. Forty-one percent of the 250,000 North Carolinians who used SDR to register and vote in the 2012 presidential election were African American. Nearly half of African Americans who voted last November did so during the early voting period. And study after study has shown that people of color are less likely than others to have current driver’s licenses, the most common form of photo identification.
There is no real justification for these voting restrictions. While voter fraud is often used as the justification, even more and updated evidence shows that voter fraud is not an issue in North Carolina. Of the nearly 7 million ballots cast in 2012, 121 alleged cases of voter fraud were referred to the appropriate district attorney’s office. Or, in other words, potential voter fraud accounted for 0.00174 percent of all the ballots cast in 2012. In 2010, potential voter fraud accounted for 0.000738 percent of ballots cast. These numbers, by the way, are not convictions, just cases that were forwarded for investigation. It is very possible that there will be no, zero, convicted cases of voter fraud in 2010 or 2012.
For all the millions he has spent to influence the legislature and get ultra-conservative candidates elected, this session really paid off for Art Pope. Now, if we could only forget about the huge losses for millions of struggling North Carolinians and the evisceration of any sense of a fair, democratic process...


Your boiler is a vital element of your home, it’s important to always ensure your boiler is functioning correctly. A broken boiler means your home has no heating or hot water, which at this time of the year is what you want to avoid.
To help you avoid this, there are common problems with commercial boilers you should look out for.
If you find water leaks coming from your boiler, this is never a good sign. Even if there’s no water visibly dripping, many boilers experience steam leaks which are forced out of the stack. If this occurs, you may need to get a plumber in to fix the problem and get your boiler working correctly again.
You may find your boiler is losing pressure. If you want your boiler to work efficiently at optimum capacity, make sure the steam pressure is constant. Similar to your home boiler, it needs to be within the high and low points.
Loss of pressure is commonly caused by steam leakage, which sometimes, you can’t see. There could also be problems with the return system like the check valve, feed pumps, or steam traps.
If you find strange and loud noises coming from your boiler, these might be signs there is air in the system. A knocking, gurgling, or whistling sound might mean the water pressure is too low or even that that there is a build-up of limescale.
Loud noises aren’t something you should ignore. It’s best to get your boiler checked by an experienced professional to prevent any current problems worsening.
Over time, built-up scale and debris can increase your energy bills through heat loss throughout your boiler system. It’s best to get a professional heating engineer to solve these problems and help you prevent reoccurrence.
All of their team hold a range of qualifications and accreditations so you can rest easy, knowing their experts are looking after you.
If you would like to find out more about what GOS Heating can do for you, simply get in touch today by calling 01772 734966 and they will be happy to help.

All stretched and mostly done. Some loose buttons and the photos still need a stitch or two. I can't believe I'm actually finishing something that I've started without starting at least two new projects meanwhile. (I think it has something to do with inspiration? Need to find that thing more often.)
The portrait of Saima (bottom left corner) was given to me by my grandmother on my 17th birthday along with some fancy handkerchiefs. Those handkerchiefs are safely stored in Jokela, but these edge laces and torn handkerchiefs just needed to be a part of an art project. I believe that these too were once my ascendant's, I don't know whose unfortunately. Maybe my mother could shed some light on this one? She has probably given these to me some ten years ago or so.
Now don't you start telling me that something's crooked or off in this piece. For once in my life I decided to toss the ruler away come what may. I must be a sad case, because it was truly a very, very satisfying thing to do. (And now they're all crooked, the handkerchiefs, there. Absolutely fabulous!)

Credit Bar was not the initial You. But Laplanche, who rounded upwards some of the greatest a-listers of the financial and technology planets to indicates and you can money his providers, soon drawn in the future. Yahoo try a big investor, because had been venture providers Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and you can Morgenthaler Opportunities; panel professionals are Light Household stalwart Larry Summertimes, former Morgan Stanley chairman John Mack, and you can Kleiner spouse Mary Meeker. Obtained assisted Laplanche build Credit Pub into an excellent heavyweight regarding quick-size financing, and you will furnished it for the huge-investigation equipments so you can issue conventional financial institutions.
“No one keeps ever examined banking because the an engineering problem-;as the an issue which is often set by tech,” Laplanche states.
When you find yourself trying to get a separate private credit card, banks can be examine strong wells of data concerning your figuratively speaking, vehicle repayments, and you may mortgage loans–but “information is very disconnected on the quick-organization world,” says Sid Jajodia, Financing Club’s vice-president to possess small business
Their San francisco bay area head office, half dozen floor for the a great nondescript building, radiate larger-category https://paydayloanslouisiana.org/cities/raceland/ respectability. The latest glassed-within the boardroom and sailboat model–Laplanche try a champ yachtsman into the France–you to allowed visitors to the fresh new executive flooring state traditional financial-qualities business, however, within the polished counters and you will at the rear of the fresh new elegant shape beats the heart away from a sensation business.
When Laplanche with his deputies explore “product,” more often than not it mean software code, maybe not finance. Credit Club’s application underwrites and you may costs for every mortgage and you may detects scam. A third of all the loan requests will never be tested of the people attention, but to search for swindle. So far, the company’s portfolio enjoys performed respectably: During the last couple of years, such as for example, Financing Club’s annual loss price is actually anywhere between 3 and you can 4 percent. That is only somewhat higher than the typical credit card losses rate after 2014, with respect to the Federal Reserve–pretty good getting an enthusiastic upstart about challenging and you may mature world of developing credit decisions.
This technology gave Financing Club a large costs advantage more finance companies, having to help you contend with even more unwieldy system and you can installing costs from the newest regulations. Once the Financing Pub continues to grow so quickly–and since banks carry out acts aside from create funds–contrasting the working expenses with that from the banking industry is a little difficult. But modifying for its fast gains, Credit Bar claims the annual performing can cost you would-be from the 2 percent of the an excellent funds. At the credit card specialist financial institutions (and therefore extremely directly contend with Financing Pub), will set you back had been an average of 8 per cent from outstanding finance when you look at the 2014, predicated on study gathered of those people banks because of the FDIC. Of course, Financing Club’s calculation is hypothetical, and it may end up being undercounting some range will set you back, states Marty Mosby, a financial specialist having Vining Sparks.
Nevertheless, it’s gotten to that banks themselves–regarding the ten of these, between brief area organizations so you can Western Coastline powerhouse Partnership Bank–today dedicate directly on Credit Club’s system
This is when it will become difficult, especially as the Credit Club attempts to build another type of tool especially to own small enterprises. The individuals companies’ loan performance “has been generally speaking bad than simply regarding other classes,” Laplanche claims.
There is also merely less study available on small businesses. “A variety of categories of businesses, additional community verticals, sizes, you’re going to see strengths and weaknesses in almost any metropolises. The issue would be to become familiar with all of that, aggregate it, use what we consider is practical on proper state, and then make a decision.”
Within Lending Pub, this occurs in 2 stages. Shortly after, say, good Turkish-produced cafe driver closes his loan application, Financing Pub immediately decides if the financials he is demonstrated meet the requirements their providers for a financial loan. If so, this may be inspections his own credit rating against credit rating bureaus, plus the coffees shop’s against commercial of these. It’s mostly a comparable research a lender could use, whether or not it will get to they. Then, Lending Pub applies an enthusiastic alchemy out of data about the organization’s size, industry, and you may location, and the credit model types the organization on certainly 10 grades towards the chance curve–or declines it altogether.

The coffee shop scene in Michael Mann’s brilliant 1995 crime thriller Heat will forever be remembered in film history as the first time Robert De Niro and Al Pacino shared screen time together. However, the more times you watch the picture and watch that scene, you realize it’s important for other reasons.
I described Heat as a crime thriller. More than that, it’s a movie about work and family. Specifically, it’s about people who are excellent at their chosen fields of profession and how it hinders their ability at a stable family life. You see it in Pacino’s character, Vincent Hanna, who is terrific at catching criminals and bad at holding a marriage together. You see it in De Niro’s character, Neil McCauley, who is a master thief who must sacrifice any meaningful relationships to do his job. You see it with McCauley’s crew, most notably Val Kilmer’s Chris Shiherlis who gets away at the end, but must leave his wife and young child forever in order to escape.
This all comes to a head in that coffee shop scene where Vincent and Neil casually discuss the situation they find themselves in. Vincent knows that Neil is looking to pull off one last huge score and he’s determined to not let it happen. Neil feels the same way – nothing will get in the way of him doing his job. The pair make it clear that they enjoy their careers – one tasked to stop criminals and the other being the criminal – and that they, frankly, really aren’t good at anything else. Neil and Vincent know their strengths. They’re going to keep doing what they do and lets the chips fall where they may. They both know and have known for some time that everything else besides their work must fall to the wayside, including their families and significant others.
Heat is a film about cops and robbers, but one like no other that delves deep into their psyches. We see example after example after how their thought process hurts their personal lives. At the end of the day, though, it’s something they’ve learned to accept. And the coffee shop scene illustrates that point with great dialogue that develops the richly written characters of Pacino and De Niro further.
Putting these two actors together, two of the best in American history, is reason enough for it to make movie history. It’s the amazing screenplay and willingness of director Mann to take Heat to a higher level of art than practically any “crime thriller”, though, that makes the scene Movie Perfection. And, of course, Pacino and De Niro are absolutely incredible in it.

This Honey Garlic Chicken is the perfect weeknight dinner! It’s a 25-minute recipe made up of tender chicken cooked in a sweet, salty, gooey, sticky, and flavorful honey garlic sauce.
– ⅔ cup honey – ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth – 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce – 2 tablespoons minced garlic – 1 tablespoon corn starch – 1 tablespoon cider vinegar – ¼ teaspoon salt – 1 pinch red pepper flakes (or more for more heat, optional) – 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (roughly one pound) – ¼ cup corn starch – salt and pepper – 2 tablespoons canola oil
Whisk together sauce: honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, 1 tablespoon corn starch, vinegar, salt, and pepper flakes if using. Set aside. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice in half the long way, to form two thin chicken breast pieces (see video for clarification)
Place ¼ cup corn starch in a shallow dish and season lightly with salt and pepper. Lightly coat both sides of chicken in corn starch and shake off any excess. (You can skip this step, but it does give the chicken a nice crust)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until starting to brown. You may have to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your pan. If there is much oil left, drain before continuing with the recipe.
Remove chicken from pan and add sauce, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. Add chicken back to the pan, stirring constantly until thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Check the largest pieces of chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure they are 165 degrees F.

Hello and welcome. My name is Tyler McMinn. I'm an Aruba Certified Instructor with Computer Data and this is Aruba Network Automation Essentials. This is a short series of webinar videos that will total about three or four hours with zero prerequisites to introduce you to network automation and specifically, what are the tools that we utilize in network automation when working with platforms that are available through Aruba. These are all standard network automation concepts and techniques and then you're going to see a real-world implementation of those on Aruba platforms such as Aruba CX switches, Aruba ClearPass, AirWave, AOS 8 for Mobility Conductors and Controllers, as well as even Aruba Cloud with Central. Let's get started. Taking a look here first, we're going to break this up into two parts. The first half will introduce network automation, what it is and what are the benefits of scaling your network automation, where you would actually use that. Python and Ansible as a quick introduction because we're going to be utilizing examples with Python scripting and Ansible as a popular management tool or platform that's available through Red Hat Linux and is free as a community-driven project. Very, very useful in most modern network management deployments. Part 2, we'll explain how to use network automation with Aruba products and actually show you some practical hands-on demonstrations. In this first half, we'll look at network automation examples, different options for automation that exist, what exactly REST APIs are, what's an API, what is REST. Essentially APIs are the reason why we're even having this course and the direction and where networking is going these days is towards this scaling with REST API calls. Aruba platforms that are ready for automation of our modern platforms, and even some of our older ones like AirWave and ClearPass which have been around for a while, are being constantly updated and tuned to support more REST API calls. Python as a scripting tool for automation, although there are many, and Ansible for automation as a server platform that can use REST APIs as well as SSH commands in HTTP but we'll take a look at that in the demonstrations. Network automation, some examples of it. If you're talking Day 1 or Day 0 provisioning, you want to rack and stack your switches and get those up and running across multiple vendors. You may want to generate a base configuration to get these guys set up and working in production. Those configs need to be pushed to the devices, which could be 10 devices, 100 devices,1,000 devices. That type of workflow, you want to make sure it's tested, vetted, consistent, and validated on each client device when it receives this push from a scripted solution. Day 100, you might want to do regularly scheduled configuration backups, audits of change management, data validation, or traffic flow validation to make sure your traffic is actually working the way it should or doing regular updates of firmware. Then migration, backing up a current configuration, deploying a new configuration. These are examples where scaling really can save you time, not just in deploying the config, but in deploying it correctly and consistently and minimizing human error in the process. That means some scripting or tool to be used. Here's a more down to earth use case. Let's say you've got Jim who arms the security system every Friday night after 6:00 PM and the branch office is closed. While it's closed, we may want to save a little bit of electricity and more importantly, secure wireless access so someone on the street can't try and break into the branch network. Well, this security system can either send a message to an orchestration platform, such as a scripting platform or Ansible or whatever, or that platform could query the system to discover that, yes, the security system has indeed been armed. Upon that discovery, it could reach out to a list or an inventory of known switches such as CX switches from Aruba and call upon their established REST APIs to not only turn off the ports that APIs are plugged into but to first discover which ports actually have access points that are alive and drawing power over Ethernet so it can react to which ports meet that criteria and issue the commands through the API to essentially down those interfaces. While you could in some cases issue the actual CLI, the command line that CX on this version, on this switch, on this vendor requires, we're going to be utilizing modeling language that is standardized across the industry. Theoretically, these APIs that you're issuing or these calls that you're making should be generally accepted across any vendor of switch. On Aruba CX, there is a really cool addition that it has free of license known as the NAE or network analytics engine. This engine runs on all versions of our CX switches and it runs all the time and it's license free. What it does is it monitors the current state database of the switch and monitors any function that the switch is performing not just CPU and RAM usage and things like that, but not just commands that are issued, but things like your link aggregation states or your routing states or your neighbor states for OSPF or BGP or whatever it is. In this example, we're looking at link aggregation and it can monitor the forwarding state of the LAG itself, and look for conditions where it might transition to a block state due to some networking issue that occurs. When that happens, the network analytics engine every five seconds checking the status of your switch, can issue an action either simply indicating a critical alert, which could mean an email, a LAG message, or even issuing local commands to the switch involved to reroute traffic. Then when the link aggregation comes back up after that five-second period if at most, the network analytic engine scripting can react to this and say, things have returned to a normal state. Let me issue these other actions like rerouting traffic back across the link aggregation, changing the critical alert to a normal alert, sending a notification, whatever it is that you want to do. With just simple, normal Python commands, you can instantiate scripts that run as what we call agents on the network analytic engine all the time and monitor and save state information over long periods of time for each one of your switches.

Q&A | Jeannette Montgomery Barron
Photo of photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron by James D. Barron.
A few weeks ago I posted a photo of Vogue editor Lisa Love taken by Jeannette Montgomery Barron from her book Scene that captures creatives of the downtown art world of 1980s New York. Her portraits of heavy-hitters like Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger, Jenny Holzer, Cindy Sherman, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat are all so unforced, like you're sitting with them in their living room on a random Tuesday night. Barron has published several books since and continues to exhibit her work. Her next big show opens May 3rd at Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Below is Barron's Q&A, which incidentally reveals her affinity for the 70s, not the 80s!
If not in Rome or New York, I would live...I wouldn't mind living in Los Angeles for a while. I feel most comfortable in places with palm trees.
My dream vacation would be to...go to a small island in Italy with my husband and do nothing but swim, eat fish, draw and read.
My current obsessions are...
Food: It doesn't matter as long as it's not too fussy. I love to cook but it's always simple.
Music: I am eclectic, with a strong focus on the early 70's.
Fashion: I love J. Brand jeans, Church's boots, shirts from my friend Sabine Schomber in Rome, A.P.C. and Laura Urbinati. I like hats and in winter wear an old Borsalino my brother gave me about 20 years ago. In the summer I wear a summer version of the hat. Both fold up and can go with me when I travel.
Retail Stores: I buy a lot of things from my friend Ann Mashburn in Atlanta (I go there often) because she has great taste and everything is edited.
I channel my childhood self when I...swim in the ocean, ride my bike or play tennis.
The fictional character I most relate to is…Gosh, that's a great question! I have no idea.
If I had to be outdoors all day I would...be on a beach. Under an umbrella.
My favorite quality in a man i
s...the ability to cry.
My favorite quality in a woman is...honesty.
I'm terrified of...really cold weather.
My cocktail of choice is...Italian wine.
My friends and I like to...eat lunch and play Scrabble.
If I could go back in time for one decade it would be...the 70's!
As a teenager I was totally into...T. Rex.
I tend to splurge on...jeans, boots and sandals.
Always being so relieved when I can take off my high heels (on the rare occasions I have to wear them)...is what makes me have Tomboy Style.

Fed Govt condemns attacks on Nigerians in India
The Nigerian Government has condemned the inhuman and racist-motivated attacks by Indian nationals against Nigerian citizens residing in that country.
The Permanent Secretary of Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr Shola Enikanolaiye made the position of Nigeria known on Wednesday, while briefing journalists in Abuja.
He said that Nigeria was shocked and surprised at the reprehensible and violent attacks on Nigerians by Indian nationals despite the cordial relations and strong economic ties existing between the two countries.
'The attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been drawn to the brutal and violent attacks meted on some Nigerian students in Pari Chwok area of Greater Noida, Utter Pradesh, on 27th March, 2017 by irate and mindless Indian mob comprising over three hundred people,' he said.
'The mob, armed with sticks and iron rods indiscriminately attacked any one identified as a Nigerian citizen in the area. As a result, nine Nigerians sustained injuries to the heads, chest and limbs,' Mr Enikanolaiye noted.
The Permanent Secretary of Foreign Affairs added that this was not the first time such attacks had taken place in India against Nigerians and called for an urgent intervention by the authorities in India to be proactive as well as take the necessary measures to arrest and prosecute the culprits which will serve as deterrents against future attacks.
He decried that the state of negligence on the part of Nigerians increased the racist-motivated attacks by the Indian nationals.
'Surprisingly, no one came to the aid of these innocent Nigerians in spite of the fact that these attacks occurred in public places including a mall. However, latest report from our mission in Delhi, indicated that the victims have received proper medical attention and three of them will be discharged from hospital by tomorrow,' he said.
According to reports from the Nigerian High Commission in New Delhi, India, the attacks started after a 16 year old Indian by the name, Manish Khatri, died of drug over-dose in a compound where some Nigerian students reside.
It was alleged that the deceased Indian boy's death was masterminded by those Nigerians who live in the compound which led to the breakout of the riots.
The Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Nagabushana Reddy who was also at the briefing said his country has condemned the attacks and described it as deplorable.
He said that the Indian Minister of External Affairs, Mrs Sushma Swaraj has already demanded for an official report from the Chief Minister of Utter Pradesh where the incident took place which resulted in attacks on Nigerian citizens.
'The External Affairs Minister has spoken to the Chief Minister of Utter Pradesh. Law Enforcement authorities of the District have made arrest and are investigating into the matter. They are also taking necessary steps to keep the situation under control.' Mr Reddy stated.
The Indian High Commissioner has assured the Nigerian government that India is committed to ensuring safety and security of all foreigners, especially those from Africa, students and youths residing in India.
As part of its quick response, Mr Nagabushana Reddy revealed that the Law Enforcement agencies of India have arrested 5 Indian nationals said to be involved in the attacks.
Meanwhile, they are still searching for 2 other suspects involved in the incident.
'Over 300 people living in the area have been kept under watch, and the Law Enforcement agencies are closely monitoring the activities of these individuals.' Mr Reddy stated.
The Indian High Commissioner assured the Nigerian Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary that the State of Utter Pradesh of India will continue to monitor the situation and the authorities are determined to bring all perpetrators of the deplorable attacks on Nigerian nationals to justice.
Mr Enikanolaiye promised the High Commissioner that Nigeria was going to monitor the events and how India intends to approach this current issue in order to guard against future occurrence. - VON.

Strange tweet from Buster Olney a little while ago. He says that the Cleveland Indians have walked away from talks with the Mets over Carlos Beltran because they are convinced that Beltan’s agent — Scott Boras — is “controlling the process.”
Hmm. On the one hand, if there is an agent who would try to control the process, it would be Boras. On the other hand, this could be Cleveland’s way of voicing displeasure over talks that weren’t going the way they liked. Maybe they’re using Boras as a handy excuse. Such a cover story would certainly help quell any fan grumbling if and when the Indians fail to land a bat at the deadline.
One thing that has occurred to me, however, is that if Boras is controlling the process somehow, it may make a possible trade to Atlanta complicated. The Braves were already thought to be heavily involved in trade talks, and you’d figure their interest would only intensify now that they’ve lost their best hitter for an extended period. However, the Braves’ front office happens to have some pretty negative feelings for Scott Boras. Current GM Frank Wren less than John Schuerholz used to have — Schuerholz reportedly vowed to never deal with Boras again — but it’s not like Schuerholz isn’t still hanging around the office.
Probably much ado about nothing — Boras is an easy boogeyman — but interesting all the same.
Diamondbacks’ right-hander Tyler Jones is headed back to the Yankees, the teams announced on Friday. The Diamondbacks had previously selected Jones in the Rule 5 draft last December, but elected to leave the 27-year-old off of their 40-man roster heading into the 2017 season. Rule 5 draft rules stipulate that when a player is not kept on the receiving team’s roster, the player must be offered back to his original team.
Jones signed a minor league contract with the Yankees prior to the 2016 season. He pitched to an impressive 2.17 ERA, 2.2 BB/9 and 13.2 SO/9 over 45 2/3 innings with Double-A Trenton, but was unable to make the leap to Triple-A or beyond during his stay with the organization.
Jones’ outlook with the Diamondbacks appeared slightly more promising. GM Mike Hazen described the righty as a power arm with a “good fastball and power curveball” after selecting him in the Rule 5 draft, and early reports indicated that Jones would be in the mix for a bullpen spot. A rough spring performance — underscored by his lack of experience at the Triple-A and major league levels — undid most of that confidence, however, and the Diamondbacks weren’t willing to keep him on the active roster throughout the entire 2017 season in order to acquire his control rights.
Jones is set to open the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, per a report from the Yankees.
Yahoo Sports’ Tim Brown reports that Derek Norris is signing with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Norris was released by the Nationals nine days ago, made redundant by the Nats’ signing of Matt Wieters and by everyone sliding down a notch on the depth chart below him. Norris hit only .186/.255/.328 with 14 home runs and a .528 OPS for the Padres in 2016.
Still, there always seems to be a place for a backup catcher. For Norris that place is Tampa Bay.

Poston Butte High School has been recognized has one of the top top percentage participating Arizona schools in United Blood Services annual Blood Drive Challenge, earning the Lou Gehrig Division Award. During the year, students brought in 460 blood donations - 116% of their senior class size - which benefited more than 920 patients after separation in components.
The students' accomplishments were honored by the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 2 at Chase Field in front of thousands of cheering fans. Just nint out of 204 schools earned a division award. Poston Butte received a championship banner on-field during pregame ceremonies.
Teen donations have more than doubled since the D-backs signed on as sponsors of the High School Blood Drive Challenge in 1998. "Working with Arizona's youth to instill outstanding community values is one of our major goals," team team President and CEO Derrick Hall. "We applaud their accomplishments and are delighted to honor them for saving lives." The D-backs donated 1,000 tickets to 126 award-winning schools to their May 2 game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
With nearly 22,000 blood donations by the end of the school year, teens have retained their status as United Blood Services largest donor group for the 14th consecutive year. The 204 high schools participating in the blood drive challenge organized 514 blood drives across Arizona.
"High school donors are the top contributors to Arizona's blood supply," said Sid Lewis, Sr. Director of Donor Recruitment for United Blood Services Southwest Division. "One in every six blood transfusions comes from a teen in Arizona, far surpassing any other age group of donors."
Note: Poston Butte High School set a new record for themselves as well! With 150 blood components (whole blood & plasma) being collected, they beat their old record of 147 set earlier this year in March. The goal for the May drive was 140.

East African garment manufacturing attracts $14 million in investment – Sourcing Journal
The Norwegian government has invested millions in clothing manufacturing in East Africa.
Norfund, the sovereign investment fund, this week announced a $14 million financing agreement with Hela Apparel Holdings PLC, a Sri Lanka-based sustainability-focused manufacturer. The activewear, lingerie and children’s clothing manufacturer operates 10 factories in four countries.
The financing arrangement, brokered by NDB Investment Bank Limited, will support Hela’s seven year old Kenyan manufacturing facility. The plant is the company’s largest, employs more than 4,000 people and is responsible for 20 percent of Kenya’s total apparel export volume. Hela wants to strengthen its supply chain partnerships in East Africa and enable regional sourcing from countries like Kenya and Tanzania to reduce lead times and costs.
The Sri Lankan garment manufacturer was one of the first global players to have a presence in Kenya and has since expanded across the African continent with offices in Ethiopia and Egypt. It wants to automate parts of the plant in Kenya to optimize productivity.
Hela Apparel Holdings Chairman AR Rasiah said the company continues to see “many opportunities for further development in the region.”
“In the increasingly unpredictable global environment, establishing long-term funding relationships with strategic partners who share our vision for Africa as the global apparel sourcing hub plays a critical role in ensuring envisaged growth plans are realized,” he added.
Rasiah said the funding will help the company support the livelihoods of “thousands of people” in Africa. “The proposed investment in our Kenyan manufacturing facility, supported by this loan from Norfund, is a key element of the group’s strategy to remain globally competitive,” he added.
Norfund is also one of NDB Bank’s largest shareholders, which has facilitated the transaction. “The wealth of experience gained through our previous dealings with Norfund and other development finance institutions (DFIs) enabled us to successfully complete this transaction, which is Hela’s first fundraising through a DFI,” said Darshan Perera, CEO of NDB Investment Bank. “We are very pleased to have advised Hela on our first transaction in the African region and look forward to working together on the implementation of her plans in Africa.”
Norfund’s regional director for East Africa, William Nyaoke, added that the Norwegian Government Investment Fund “sees great opportunities to contribute to large-scale job creation in East Africa through investments in the garment and textile industries” as part of its goal of sustainable businesses create and fight poverty. Norfund has been following Hela’s progress in the region and Nyaoke said it hopes the new partnership will improve employment opportunities, particularly for underserved women.
The fund also announced plans to support the creation of up to 12,000 jobs through an investment in the Balaji Group, a leading textile manufacturer based in Nairobi. Norfund and specialist debt fund Ethos Mezzanine Partners 3 each invested about $12.5 million in the manufacturer, which develops garments for brands and retailers focused on the United States. The money will go towards buying state-of-the-art washing machines that will triple production capacity. along with reducing electricity use by up to 30 percent, water use by up to 70 percent and chemical use by 60 percent, Norfund said. The Balaji Group already has East Africa’s largest rooftop solar system generating 1.8 megawatts and covering much of their energy needs.
The investment fund aims to strengthen private sector investments in renewable energy, financial institutions, scalable companies and green infrastructure in developing countries. Norfund’s portfolio includes investments of US$3.1 billion in companies in these sectors in sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia and Central America.
Earlier this year, the Kenyan government announced its own plans to build the country’s burgeoning textile industry through strategic investments in local manufacturing operations. A State Department industrialization official said $1.6 million would go toward reopening closed factories, and the country also plans to invest in new cotton ginning factories to boost GDP and provide more sources of raw materials in the country.

Animal Advocates Prevail Against Vallejo Puppy Mill Following Lawsuit
The Animal Legal Defense Fund will seek a permanent injunction to rescue any remaining dogs
San Francisco, CA — This week, the Superior Court of California in Solano County found the owner of California Carolina Dogs, a puppy mill located in Vallejo, liable for violating the Polanco-Lockyer Pet Breeder Warranty Act following a lawsuit filed by the Animal Legal Defense Fund on behalf of Caru SPCA. In the wake of this ruling the Animal Legal Defense Fund will seek a permanent injunction to remove any remaining dogs at the location.
The lawsuit was filed after numerous complaints citing strong odors, flies, dog bites, unsanitary breeding conditions, and dogs running at large. It is reported the breeder, located in a residential area, had as many as 50 dogs on the property at a time violating several Vallejo Municipal Codes.
“Puppy mills across the country often keep the animals in unsanitary and harmful conditions,” says Stephen Wells, executive director of the Animal Legal Defense Fund. “The court’s decision is an important step in our efforts to close down illegal breeders like California Carolina Dogs so they can’t harm more animals both emotionally and physically.”
The Animal Legal Defense Fund first filed a lawsuit on behalf of Caru SPCA against the operation in 2017 for illegally operating a puppy mill. The Animal Legal Defense Fund is grateful to have received pro bono services from Greenberg Traurig, LLP in this case.
The Animal Legal Defense Fund announced that a settlement agreement has been reached with the Animal Kingdom pet store in a high-profile lawsuit over a puppy laundering scheme to unlawfully circumvent the California "retail pet sale ban" — a law that bans the sale of dogs from commercial breeders, commonly called puppy mills.June 17, 2020 Press Release
