Miami-Dade County, FL – Mugshots.com has uncovered information that every person and certainly every arrestee in South Florida need be aware of.
The owners of A1 Magic Bail Bonds, LLC (A1) of Miami FL, Yosvani and Elbita Alfonso have been sued in civil court for an atrocious beating of an arrestee. A1 was acting as an agent for Lion Bail Bonds Inc. (Lion) also doing business in Miami-Dade County FL.
According to court documents obtained by Mugshots.com: On or about June 2, 2019 Lion’s agents forced entry into the arrestee’s now plaintiff’s home. They then proceeded to assault, beat and batter the plaintiff. The senseless beating caused serious and potentially permanent injuries to the plaintiff and have seriously altered his quality of life.

So was this search site being “neutral” when it pointed users to pages on the Web that many people are legitimately curious about, or when it changed its search formula after public pressure? And what role should public or legal pressure play in those shifts?
This isn’t some abstract discussion. Copyright holders routinely send takedown requests to search sites, demanding the removal of links to sites hosting allegedly infringing copies, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s “safe harbor” provisions.
That section has been repeatedly abused to try to remove embarrassing local-news clips, an unflattering interview, and a documentary about the Pirate Bay.
Group coercion can have a persuasive effect too. In a melodramatically-titled post at GigaOM (“First they came for the mugshot websites, but I said nothing…”), Mathew Ingram worried that the quick shunning of mugshot sites “could quickly become a slippery slope.”

The publisher of a local community newspaper in Mississippi called “The Clarksdale Press Register” is apparently in the throes of a moral dilemma about whether his newspaper should continue publishing its mugshot gallery online. He posted an editorial online September 3, 2013 titled “Could publishing police mugshots be bad for Clarksdale?” asking for public input before making a final decision. After reading the piece, one gets the distinct impression that the decision has already been made to stop publishing the mugshot gallery, and the newspaper is simply seeking public validation of its decision.
But before the newspaper announces that final decision publically, we at Mugshots.com would like to speak on behalf of those who support the continued publication of mugshots online in Clarksdale. This side of the debate requires arguments that are more nuanced and reasoned than the other side. Opponents of publication generally appeal to emotion ...

The Colfax/Elk Mound boys’ golf team capped the Dunn-St. Croix season with a third-place finish in the 18-hole conference tournament held Monday, May 16 at the Spring Valley Golf Course.
It was the eighth time in ten conference meets this year that the local linksmen finished third among the five-school D-SC grouping.
The squad then closed out the regular season partaking in the 2022 Black River Falls’ Skyline Invitational which was held last Wednesday, May 18 where it came in seventh out of ten teams at the 18-hole meet.
Colfax/Elk Mound was scheduled to return to Black River Falls and Skyline Golf Course yesterday, Tuesday, May 24, for the WIAA Division 2 regional golf tournament. The top four teams along with the top four individuals, who are not members of a qualifying team, will advance to the sectional meet set for either May 31 or June 1 at the Bass Lake Golf Course in Antigo.
A pair of its golfers carded sub-100 performances at the 2022 Dunn-St. Croix boys’ golf tournament held at the Spring Valley Golf Course May 16 to help lead the Colfax/Elk Mound squad to a third-place finish.
Sophomores Christian Ebert and Jace Acker turned in scores of 94 and a 95, respectively, in the 18-hole tournament to pace the C/EM boys.
Fellow sophomore Zane Brice and senior Luke Blanchard each shot a 100 while Riley Krall rounded out the varsity scoring with a 141.
When the top four individual scores were added together it gave Colfax/Elk Mound a team tally of 389 which put it in third place just five strokes behind runner-up Glenwood City.
Durand, led by medalist Logan Weissinger’s 82 and an 83 by Simon Bauer, took first place with a 354.
Mondovi was fourth with a 419 and host Spring Valley came in fifth with a 436.
That was also the final order in the race for the overall conference championship.
With its victory in the conference tournament, Durand won its ninth straight D-SC meet and second consecutive Dunn-St. Croix Conference Championship. The Panthers finished with 49 points in the final team standings. Points are awarded based on a team’s finish in each meet with a first-place finish earning five points, second-place four, third gets three points, a fourth place is awarded two and fifth receives a point.
Glenwood City tallied 39.5 points for second, Colfax finished in third with 31.5 points followed by Mondovi with 16.5 and Spring Valley had 13.5.
A pair of Colfax/Elk Mound sophomores also received individual accolades as they earned all-conference distinction for their consistent play throughout the season. Jace Acker played his way into a spot on the first team after accumulating 57 points while Zane Brice tallied 49 to qualify for second team honors. Similar to the team scoring system, the top ten individuals in each meet were awarded points based on their finish with ten points going to the medalist all the way down to a single point for tenth. Those values were doubled for last Tuesday’s conference tournament.
BRF Skyline Invitational
Taking an opportunity to play on the course that will host the regional tournament, Colfax/Elk Mound competed in the Black River Falls Skyline Invitational May 18.
Colfax/Elk Mound shot a 371 in the 18-hole tournament to finish seventh out of ten teams.
Luke Blanchard and Zane Brice topped the locals’ scores as they finished in a six-way tie for 21st place with scores of 91.
Jace Acker was two strokes back with a 93, Christian Ebert carded a 96 and Riley Krall shot a 107.
Host Black River Falls won the meet with a 324. Cochrane-Fountain City scored a 344 to take second while Arcadia and Durand tied for third after each finished with a 346.

The nation's largest drugstore chain is locked in a contract fight with one of the St. Louis area's largest employers.
Walgreen Co. revealed during an earnings call today that it's planning to end its $5.3-billion-per-year relationship with Express Scripts Inc. on Jan. 1, saying it cannot reach a deal on the fees the pharmacy benefits manager pays to fill the prescriptions of Walgreen's customers.
The Wentzville Police Department says a program started last month to collect unused prescription medication has so far been a success.
The program helps keep medications from contaminating the water supply and to keep them away from children and others who might abuse them.

With an increasingly large amount of data being collected in numerous application areas, the importance of online analytical processing (OLAP) workloads increases constantly. OLAP queries typically access only a small number of columns but a high number of rows and are, thus, most efficiently executed by column-stores. With the significant developments in the main memory domain even large datasets can be entirely held in the main memory. Thus, main memory column-stores have been established as state-of-the-art for OLAP scenarios. In these systems, all values of every column are encoded as a sequence of integer values and, thus, query processing is completely done on these integer sequences. To improve query processing, vectorization based the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) parallel paradigm is a state-of-the-art technique. Aside from vectorization, lightweight integer compression algorithms also play an important role to reduce the necessary memory space. Unfortunately, there is no single-best lightweight integer compression algorithm, and the algorithm selection decision depends most importantly on the data characteristics. Nevertheless, vectorization and integer compression complement each other, and the combined usage improves the query performance. Unfortunately, the benefits of vectorization are limited on modern x86-processors due to predefined and fixed SIMD instruction set extensions. Nowadays, the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offers a novel opportunity with regard to hardware reconfigurable capability. For example, we can use an arbitrary length of processor word in FPGA leading to a higher performance, we can prepare proper pipeline-based custom-made database accelerators, and we can develop embedded systems through utilizing such accelerators. Moreover, modern hybrid CPU-FPGA systems have a direct data communication channel between the main memory and FPGA which is useful for throughput acceleration. Based on these advantages, this thesis examines the utilization of FPGA for main memory column-stores. This examination is two-fold. First, we investigate the column scan on compressed data as important operation and second, we systematically look at lightweight integer compression. These two aspects are considered from the hardware perspective to guarantee a certain level of query performance acceleration. In particular, this thesis explores different embedded design options and proposes an adaptive lightweight integer compression system. Based on a comprehensive evaluation, we find out the optimal design constraint as per implementation mechanism for column scan and lightweight integer compression. Finally, we conclude this thesis by mentioning our upcoming research activities.


Bow thruster variable drives
Western Canada Marine Response Corp. has made three of its new vessels more efficient thanks to Invertek Drives variable frequency drive (VFD) technology.
WCMRC responds to marine contamination along 27,000kms of coastline using a fleet of dedicated vessels equipped with specialized equipment and teams to minimise the impact and to contain any contamination.
WCMRC’s newest pollution control vessels the Gulf Sentinel, Strait Sentinel and the Coastal Sentinel, have recently been commissioned at ASL Shipyard, Singapore.
The three vessels have been fitted with Invertek Drives Optidrive P2 55kW and 75kW VFD, a type-approved by DNV Classification Society for their bow thruster and winch controls.
The system was supplied by Invertek Drives Far East Pte Ltd. The scope of supply includes thruster control, electric motor, control panels, commissioning and sea trial.
Being an environmentally conscious organisation, WCMRC has opted for green technology for their thruster and winch control in contrast to less efficient hydraulic systems often used for bow thruster control.
“The installation and commissioning of the electric system, controlled by the Optidrive P2, enhances the manoeuvrability of the vessel, the control of the thrusters is much more accurate and precise,” said Henry Beh, General Manager of Invertek Drives Far East Pte Ltd.
“Additionally, the electrical thruster system is more energy efficient and easy to maintain, there is no problem with hydraulic oil or contaminants leaking at hose connectors and valves.”
The Optidrive VFD has much lower starting current of motor, compared to traditional starting methods, thus allowing for optimum sizing of vessel power generation system, to further enhance fuel efficiency.
Matthew Mylemans, project manager at WCMRC said they wanted to make their vessels more efficient while also ensuring they are less of a risk of the environment through the improvements of transferring from hydraulics to electric: “The inclusion of the Optidrive P2 has ensured very smooth speed adjustment of the motors which is important for manoeuvrability, especially important in situations where a response is being undertaken to lay booms and other work to contain contamination.
“The 100 per cent efficiency of the thrusters is a great result and we’re looking forward to adding this green technology to the fleet.”

Housebuilders say plans to develop offsetting solution and upgrade waterworks by 2030 falls short
The government has unveiled a package of measures designed to help developers and councils hit by the nutrient pollution crisis currently holding up plans for more than 100,000 homes.
In a joint statement from the environment and levelling up departments (Defra and DLUHC), the government said it will legislate to force water companies to upgrade water treatment works by 2030, and roll out a national nutrient pollution mitigation programme to enable councils to grant planning permissions in affected areas.
However, housebuilders have already hit out at the announcement, with the Home Builders Federation (HBF) saying the proposals “do not match the scale or urgency of the issue”.
The plans follow the issuing of fresh guidance by environment quango Natural England in March, which left 74 local authorities covering 27 river catchments unable to issue planning approvals for homes in part or all of their areas, unless developments were able to prove “nutrient neutrality”.
Following a European Court ruling in 2018, councils are unable to approve developments which will contribute to nutrient pollution in protected habitats where the habitat is already deemed to be in an “unfavourable condition”. The HBF claims that more than 100,000 homes are now held up in the planning pipeline, despite the fact that new housing contributes a very small proportion of the problem.
The government said its plans will see a new legal duty placed on water companies in England to upgrade wastewater treatment works by 2030 in ‘nutrient neutrality’ areas to the “highest achievable technological levels”.
This duty will be introduced through an amendment to the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, currently in Parliament, and the government said that once in law, it wanted these improvements to be factored in for the purposes of Habitats Regulation Assessments – implying it hoped the existence of duty itself may allow permissions to be granted that wouldn’t be otherwise.
Housing Today’s A Fair Deal for Housing campaign, which seeks to increase housebuilding to 300,000 homes a year, has suggested government act strategically to deal with the issue of nutrient neutrality.
The Government said it will also work with water companies to identify where necessary upgrades can be accelerated and delivered sooner.
According to figures secured by Housing Today from Defra, around 40% of phosphate pollution and 48% of nitrate pollution which leaches into water courses comes currently from sewage treatment works.
The government said Natural England’s new Nutrient Mitigation Scheme will see the body develop woodland and wetland projects which will provide credits that developers can buy into, providing sufficient mitigation to allow their schemes to go ahead.
The departments said the scheme will be designed to dovetail with existing locally-developed mitigation schemes, and will prioritise SME developers most affected by the nutrient neutrality crisis.
The government said the scheme will be in place by the autumn, but did not spell out whether that meant it expected developers to be able to necessarily buy credits and secure planning permissions from that point.
Environment secretary George Eustice (pictured, left) told the House of Commons yesterday that the upgrades to wastewater treatment works “will reduce a significant source of nutrient pollution, helping to recover these crucial habitats, which will thereby reduce the level of mitigation required by individual developers when legislation comes into force.”
He said that mitigation scheme will “will support the delivery of the tens of thousands of homes currently in the planning system, by significantly reducing the cost of mitigation requirements”, adding that: “We will announce further details in the autumn when the scheme will launch, and in the meantime, Natural England will be in touch with local authorities and developers.”
However, George Eustace made clear that developers and planning authorities in affected areas with outline or reserved matters permission in need of full approval, or with full approval but with remaining conditions to discharge, are still hit by the nutrients ban on approvals. He said: “The Habitats Regulations Assessment provisions apply to any consent, permission, or other authorisation, this may include post-permission approvals; reserved matters or discharges of conditions.
He added: “While we know [this] be disappointing to the developers whose sites are affected, it is important to ensure there is clarity on how the assessment provisions should operate.”
The government’s announcement contained no new measures to address the biggest source of pollution, according to government figures, which is the agriculture sector. The figures provided to Housing Today by Defra showed that agriculture was responsible for 40-50% of phosphate pollution in affected areas, and 52% of nitrate pollution.
The government did say it had already provided new funding to the Environment Agency to increase farm inspections to at least 4,000 inspections a year by 2023, and was launching a future farming scheme that will reward farmers and land managers for actions to reduce run-off.
Stewart Basely, executive chair of the HBF (pictured, right), said: “It is encouraging that after almost three years of home builders pleas, the Government is now looking to find solutions, but these proposals do not match the scale or urgency of the issue and would take years to implement.
“Nature based solutions may play a marginal part in the solution but much more is needed, including effective transitional arrangement to get construction work restarted immediately.
“The social and economic implications of further delays are significant with many small businesses in affected areas now on the verge of collapse.”
Cllr David Renard, environment spokesperson for the Local Government Association welcomed the announcement, but said England also needed to “act quickly to reduce all pollution at source”.
“It is positive that new obligations are being placed on water companies and that Natural England will play a more active role in finding mitigation solutions and it is also critical to maintain the protections for our rivers and to remain focused on delivering the reduction of pollutants from entering the rivers in the first place.
A Fair Deal for Housing
Housing Today believes the government should not back away from its manifesto pledge of building 300,000 new homes a year by the middle of the decade. We badly need more homes, and a lack of supply is a major factor in creating problems of affordability for both buyers and renters.
Over the next few months, Housing Today will be exploring potential solutions to help us ramp up housebuilding to 300,000. These are likely to include different ways of working, funding asks of government and policy ideas that could boost housebuilding.
We want to hear from you: what do you think can make a difference at a policy level?
What can the industry do better?
We believe that, with the right commitments from ministers and the industry, it is possible to build more homes and help the government to meet its objectives to “build beautiful”, improve quality and safety, boost home ownership and level up the UK.


This turns so interesting for the politics of Andhra Pradesh.
"The Sena will support a no-confidence motion if it is in the interest of nation, but certainly not any politically motivated motion", he said.
Andhra Pradesh's ruling Telugu Desam Party said on Tuesday the Narendra Modi government's attempt to avoid no-confidence motion in the Parliament is like a political suicide.
"The Centre is behind the agitation by friendly parties in the Lok Sabha, only to run away from facing a no-confidence motion.The happenings in the House are proof enough,"he added".
Asserting that he is fighting for the rights of Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday alleged that the BJP is trying to suppress his voice. Go into the well only if the house is adjourned.
"Is AIADMK not an ally of BJP?" asked Ramakrishnudu, a member of TDP politburo.
"We waited patiently for four years and gave them every opportunity".
Claiming that he had joined the BJP-led NDA for the state's interests, he said that his party pulled out of government and exited the alliance as it had failed to deliver on the promises made to the state. "BJP is not only doing injustice to the state, but got ready to attack AP".
"I'm asking for the justice to the state". Thus they want to weaken the state.
"Last time, the difference in vote share between TDP and YSRCP (YSR Congress Party) was only 2.06%".


To a list that includes Olympic gold medallist Luke Campbell and rising tennis superstar Kyle Edmund, you can now add the emerging talent of Holly Bentham.
That’s because the 17-year-old judo player has been crowned the Mail’s overall Sporting Champion for 2017 following last night’s glittering ceremony at the KCOM Stadium.
The teenage judo player was chosen ahead of an impressive field after winning gold at the junior Commonwealth Games in the Bahamas and climbing to a top four ranking in Great Britain for the under-21s and 15th in the seniors despite still being a school student.
Having earlier in the night won the Junior Sportswoman (aged 16-18) award, Holly captured a double trophy haul with the big award of the evening.
“Picking an overall champion on a night that again highlighted the unbelievable talent we have in our region was very difficult and I could make an argument for a number of winners,” explained James Smailes, sports editor for the Mail.
“Holly’s success at a major international tournament like the junior Commonwealth Games and her current standing on the British judo scene had to be recognised and we hope, like previous winner Luke Campbell, Holly can carry the flag for Hull and Great Britain at a future Olympics.”
Holly’s overall victory capped a memorable night at the Mail’s annual awards, held to recognise the best young sporting talent in the region, while highlighting the great work done by coaches, clubs and volunteers throughout Hull and the East Riding.
The evening began with the coach of the year award, won by England Ladies’ Masters team and Hull hockey coach Gareth Ikin. While Ikin’s success on the field was recognised, it was Martin Parr’s impact on and off field for Lambwatch Lions as coach, fundraiser and organiser which saw him take home the Community award.
With the awards spread across a variety of sports this year, it was Findlay Pickering who won the Junior Boy (under-16) category, recognised for his success in cycling having been selected for the British Olympic Development Academy, while Jess Park won the equivalent junior girl age group.
Jess is a real talent, having become one of the youngest ever players at the age of 16 to play for Manchester City in the Women’s Super League, after signing a contract with the champions last year.
Para swimmer Liam Spence won Disabled Athlete of the Year after becoming one of the top ranked swimmers in the country, while St Paul’s Boxing Academy were crowned Club of the Year.
In the Sporting Inspiration category it was 13-year-old Sirius Academy pupil Logan Edson who won the hearts of the judges and the audience following his success in combat sports having been confined to a wheelchair all his young life.
The Sportsperson of the Year award for adults went to professional boxer Ryan Gibbons following a successful final year to a great amateur boxing career, while the Outstanding School Sporting Award went to St Mary’s College.
Junior Sportsman (aged 16-18) saw a close competition emerge with Joshua Hood as winner, following his success in pentathlon where he continues to climb the national and international rankings.
Having already won the title as best men’s college team in the country, Wyke College’s football team added to their national title success by being named team of the year and there was a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement award for Ray Butler after 59 years as one of the faces and backbone for youth rugby league in Hull.

E.K. McDANIEL, Warden of Ely State Prison, Frankie Sue Del Papa, Attorney General of the State of Nevada, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEVADA, Respondent, Daniel Steven Jones, Real Party in Interest.
The Nevada prison authorities and the Nevada Attorney General (collectively, “the State”) seek a writ of mandamus vacating, and an emergency stay against the district court's discovery order in a death row prisoner's habeas corpus case. We deny the emergency stay motion and dismiss the mandamus petition. We issue this brief opinion because this action appears to be the latest in a series of meritless mandamus petitions filed by the State of Nevada seeking to prevent discovery in habeas cases.
Daniel Steven Jones pled guilty to and was convicted of murder in Nevada. A three-judge panel of the state court sentenced him to death. The Nevada Supreme Court upheld his conviction and sentence and dismissed his subsequent motion for review. After his appointed counsel failed to notify him of the Nevada Supreme Court's decision, or to provide him with a copy of that decision, Jones wrote to the district court requesting assistance in pursuing further appeals. The district court treated this letter as initiating a habeas action and appointed counsel for Jones. Jones, through counsel, then filed a first habeas petition alleging four claims.1 The petition provided a factual basis for each claim and stated that each had been presented to the Nevada courts on direct appeal or in a petition for post-conviction relief. Jones also sought and received from the district court a stay of execution.
On January 15, 1997, the district court issued an order that discovery be completed by July 14, 1997, and that Jones file an amended petition on or before September 17, 1997. Between January and June, 1997, the State complied with at least one of Jones's discovery requests and a discovery dispute was resolved without the benefit of an order compelling production.
On June 13, 1997, the State submitted to this Court a petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition vacating the district court's discovery order. The State also filed an emergency motion for a stay of the order. The State claims that Jones has not sought discovery through the state courts, that he has not outlined factual allegations supporting his habeas claims, that he has presented unexhausted federal claims, that his requests are analogous to “pre-petition” discovery, and that he is attempting to use the discovery process for a “fishing expedition.” The State's claims are spurious and find no support in the record before us.2
The State's petition and emergency motion are virtually carbon copies of those filed in McDaniel v. U.S. District Court (Bennett), No. 97-70344, (9th Cir. Apr. 24, 1997). In an unpublished order in that case, a panel of this Court denied the motion for an emergency stay, dismissed the mandamus petition, and left the discovery process to the district court's sound discretion.3
Second, the State's boilerplate claims are belied by Jones's actual petition and by the facts of this case. The State relies heavily on Calderon v. U.S. District Court (Roberts), 113 F.3d 149 (9th Cir.1997), Calderon v. U.S. District Court (Hill), 110 F.3d 714 (9th Cir.1997), as amended on denial of reh'g, 120 F.3d 927 (9th Cir.1997), and Calderon v. U.S. District Court (Nicolaus), 98 F.3d 1102 (9th Cir.1996), cert. denied, 520 U.S. 1233, 117 S.Ct. 1830, 137 L.Ed.2d 1036 (1997). However, Hill and Nicolaus involved pre-petition discovery. Jones has filed a habeas petition, containing only exhausted claims and including factual allegations in support of each claim. Thus, Jones has “presented specific allegations in the form of a verified petition,” Nicolaus, 98 F.3d at 1107, and is entitled to discovery.
Moreover, the Supreme Court recently reconfirmed the right of capital habeas petitioners to obtain discovery upon a showing of “good cause.” Bracy v. Gramley, 520 U.S. 899, ---- - ----, 117 S.Ct. 1793, 1796-97, 138 L.Ed.2d 97 (1997). Jones has shown “good cause” for seeking discovery: although his trial and appellate counsel may have received some of the materials he now asks the State to produce, his appellate counsel, against whom Jones seeks to assert an ineffective assistance claim, apparently destroyed Jones's entire file. Jones's claims do not appear purely speculative or without any basis in the record. His petition raises only four claims, each of which includes factual allegations and a statement of exhaustion. He therefore is entitled to discovery under Rule 6 of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. See Harris v. Nelson, 394 U.S. 286, 299, 89 S.Ct. 1082, 1090, 22 L.Ed.2d 281 (1969) (“[W]here specific allegations before the court show reason to believe that the petitioner may, if the facts are fully developed, be able to demonstrate that he is ․ entitled to relief, it is the duty of the court to provide the necessary facilities and procedures for an adequate inquiry.”); Jones v. Wood, 114 F.3d 1002, 1009 (9th Cir.1997) ( “[D]iscovery is available to habeas petitioners at the discretion of the district court judge for good cause shown.”). The district court acted well within its discretion in ordering discovery.
In determining whether a writ of mandamus should issue, we consider the following factors, first articulated in Bauman v. U.S. District Court, 557 F.2d 650, 654-55 (9th Cir.1977):
(1) whether the party seeking the writ has no other adequate means, such as direct appeal, to attain the relief he desires;
(2) whether the petitioner will be damaged or prejudiced in a way that is not correctable on appeal;
(3) whether the district court's order is clearly erroneous as a matter of law;
(4) whether the district court's order is an oft repeated error or manifests persistent disregard for the federal rules; and
(5) whether the district court's order raises new and important problems or issues of law of first impression.
In re Cement Antitrust Litigation, 688 F.2d 1297, 1301 (9th Cir.1982) (citing Bauman, 557 F.2d at 654-55), aff'd, Arizona v. U.S. District Court, 459 U.S. 1191, 103 S.Ct. 1173, 75 L.Ed.2d 425 (1983). None of these factors support the State's petition.
First and foremost, the district court did not clearly err as a matter of law, since Jones is entitled to discovery. The absence of clear error may itself dispose of the State's petition. See Executive Software of North Am., Inc. v. U.S. District Court, 24 F.3d 1545, 1551 (9th Cir.1994) (“the existence of clear error as a matter of law[ ] is dispositive [of a mandamus petition]”). Second, a stay of discovery or a writ of mandamus is not the State's only adequate means of relief. For example, as discovery proceeds, the State is not foreclosed from making routine challenges to specific discovery requests on the basis of privilege or relevance. Third, while the State probably cannot correct on appeal any negative effects it sustains as a result of compliance with the district court's discovery order, this factor carries little weight compared with the needs of an incarcerated capital habeas petitioner to obtain discovery in order to pursue his claims. Fourth, far from presenting an “oft repeated error,” of the district court, this case involves yet another attempt by the State to circumvent discovery in a capital habeas case, manifesting blatant disrespect for, if not disregard of, the federal rules and the district court's efforts to superintend the discovery process. And fifth, this case raises no new legal issues.
Moreover, the State waited five months before seeking relief from the district court's discovery order and has complied with at least one of Jones's discovery requests. The Nevada Attorney General's office, a petitioner here, helped formulate a general discovery order for habeas cases identical to the order the district court issued here.
The State is not entitled either to emergency relief or to mandamus unless it will seriously be harmed by the denial of relief. See Artukovic v. Rison, 784 F.2d 1354, 1355 (9th Cir.1986) (emergency stay warranted if applicant shows probability of success on the merits and likelihood of irreparable injury or serious questions on merits and balance of hardships tipping in its favor); In re Cement Antitrust Litig., 688 F.2d at 1301 (mandamus petitioner must show damage or prejudice in a way not correctable on appeal). Unreasonable delay in asserting its rights, partial compliance, and implicit consent to the terms of the order undermine any claim of irreparable injury to the State or of a balance of hardships tipping in its favor. See Baldwin Co. Welcome Center v. Brown, 466 U.S. 147, 151, 104 S.Ct. 1723, 1726, 80 L.Ed.2d 196 (1984) (“One who fails to act diligently cannot invoke equitable principles to excuse that lack of diligence.”). The State's failure immediately and unequivocally to assert its opposition to discovery also undermines its argument that extraordinary circumstances exist warranting mandamus relief. Calderon v. U.S. District Court (Gordon), 107 F.3d 756, 761 (9th Cir.1997) ( “Mandamus is a drastic remedy that should be invoked only in extraordinary circumstances.”) (internal quotation and citation omitted), cert. denied, 522 U.S. 907, 118 S.Ct. 265, 139 L.Ed.2d 191 (1997).
Thus, we find no basis for granting the State extraordinary relief in the form of mandamus, or for issuing an emergency stay of discovery. We refuse to facilitate the State's continuous attempts to undermine capital habeas petitioners' efforts to obtain the information they need to properly present and litigate their claims.
EMERGENCY MOTION DENIED, PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDATE DISMISSED.
While I agree that the state's emergency motion to stay the district court's scheduling orders should be denied, and that the petition for writ of mandamus should be dismissed, I would do so for different reasons.
Each was filed June 17, 1997; we should have dismissed both as premature because the district court had not been asked to stay its orders. In the meantime, the state did file a motion to stay in the district court, which the district court denied. Presumably a renewed motion to stay in this court would be ripe. So treating it, the motion still fails because there plainly is no “emergency.” The district court's first scheduling order (contemplating discovery) was entered November 19, 1996, and its second scheduling order (“constitut[ing] leave of court to conduct discovery” and setting cut-off) was entered January 16, 1997, following a status conference at which the subject of discovery and the time for conducting it was discussed. No objection was made to either order until less than a month before the cut-off date, when the state sought a stay. Even then, as the district court pointed out, the record did not reflect any live dispute between the parties over specific discovery matters. Under these circumstances, there is no way the district court abused its discretion in denying a stay, and there is no basis for our doing otherwise.
Nor should we entertain the state's petition for writ of mandate. As I read them, the district court's orders in this case were case management orders-requiring counsel to meet and confer regarding discovery, and setting the time period for completing discovery-but neither approving nor disapproving any particular request. The state did not object when the first order was entered, or at the first status conference where counsel were directed to advise the court whether they anticipate any discovery problems, or when the second status conference was held and time limits necessary for discovery were discussed, or when the second scheduling order was entered permitting discovery and establishing a cut-off date. Indeed, as Judge Reed explained in denying the request for stay, “discovery was authorized in this action pursuant to the established practice in this district, a practice that was devised some years ago in cooperation with the Attorney General's Office and the then death penalty resource center ․” Thus, the state went along with a process it helped put in place, without ever arguing that discovery (in general) was inappropriate as a matter of law, or that discovery (in particular) was unwarranted. It has therefore waived any right to appellate review of whether discovery was ordered in error. It is also too late to ask this court to vacate the district court's scheduling orders.1 Moreover, there is no longer anything concrete to rule on in connection with those orders, since they've been complied with, and nothing concrete to rule on with respect to specific discovery, since there's no live dispute to resolve. For these reasons, the petition for mandamus should simply be dismissed.
Everything else that the majority has to say is dicta. Just because the state waived its right to appellate review of scheduling orders it had no problem with at the time they were entered, does not mean that it can't have a change of heart in light of Calderon v. U.S. District Court (Nicolaus), 98 F.3d 1102 (9th Cir.1996). While it's too little, too late in this case, Nevada is entitled to argue in another case-where its (new) position is timely preserved-that permitting discovery after a bare-bones petition but before an amended, real petition is on file, and before the court can make a discrete finding of good cause for discovery on exhausted claims as required by Rule 6(a), is the same thing in substance if not in form as the procedure for pre-petition discovery that we condemned in Nicolaus. Likewise in this action, whether Jones's claims have a basis in the record, or are exhausted, or whether there is good cause for discovery are questions for the district court to decide in its discretion, not ours. Jones v. Wood, 114 F.3d 1002, 1009 (9th Cir.1997) (“[D]iscovery is available to habeas petitioners at the discretion of the district court judge for good cause shown.”). As the majority's opinion acknowledges this is so, its comments to the contrary must be advisory.
1. Jones's petition alleges that: (1) the three-judge sentencing panel violated the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments by failing to consider mitigating evidence; (2) his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated when the prosecutor expressed his opinion as to Jones's guilt; (3) his Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated because the court failed to order a competency hearing at either the guilt or penalty phase, or to appoint a psychiatrist, despite evidence that Jones's mental state was an issue; (4) Jones's trial and appellate counsel were ineffective, depriving him of his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
2. The State filed this action before seeking relief from the district court. After filing the mandamus petition and motion for an emergency stay, the State filed a motion in the district court for stay of discovery. The district court denied the motion. The court noted that discovery had proceeded for five months without submission of any dispute to the district court, that the State failed to identify any specific contested discovery issue, and that discovery was necessary in order to avoid piecemeal litigation of Jones's claims.
3. The petition and motion also are similar to those in McDaniel v. U.S. District Court (Riley), No. 97-70520 (9th Cir. Mar. 21, 1997) (unpublished order), and McDaniel v. U.S. District Court (Haberstroh), No. 97-70228 (9th Cir. Mar. 21, 1997) (unpublished order). In Riley, we denied the emergency stay motion and mandamus petition without prejudice to refiling, since the district court had not ruled on the State's motion for a stay of the discovery order. In Haberstroh, we denied the emergency stay motion as moot and the mandamus petition as premature, since the district court had stayed its discovery order and ruled it would reconsider the order. Because here the district court has considered and rejected the State's motion to stay discovery, we need not dismiss the motion and petition as premature, but can rule on the merits.
1. The state waited five months (during which discovery was apparently ongoing) to ask us to undo orders that it agreed to let the court enter. As mandamus is an equitable remedy that should be sought with reasonable dispatch, see United States v. Olds, 426 F.2d 562 (3rd Cir.1970) (“[a]s with all remedies that are governed by equitable principles, mandamus must be sought with reasonable promptness.”), I would exercise our discretion to decline to consider the state's belated request for extraordinary relief on this ground as well as waiver.

UNEP-WHO Health and Environment Linkages Initiative
Health and environment-related decisions are often dealt with separately by different sectoral agencies and various stakeholders. Moreover, decisions regarding these domains are generally disconnected from the economic development planning processes. However, recent scientific developments have shown that these three domains are highly interconnected.
To remedy this situation, it is not only necessary to communicate the links between health, environment and economic development more effectively, but also to find ways to respond to these interrelated risks in a coordinate manner. These questions were addressed within UNEP-WHO Health and Environment Linkages Initiative.
- A joint WHO-UNEP web portal
The portal contains nearly 1,000 links to critical resources in the field of environment and health, organized by categories relevant to policy-making; Synthesis of issues in terms relevant to government sectors; illustration of best practice policy approaches and their cost-effectiveness; and easy access to materials for training, guidance and other resources.
- Health and Environment: Managing the linkages for Sustainable Development. A toolkit for decision-makers (2008)
This synthesis report highlights key findings of the initiative, and introduces a “tool-kit” to support integration of environment and health considerations into decision-making.
Building on the work done within UNEP-WHO HELI, the UNDP-UNEP PI includes a special focus on the links between health, chemicals management and economic development.

Author: Sara Holland
No. of pages: 336 (ARC I read: 362)
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy
Publication Date: January 2, 2018
Date Read: December 16, 2017
- First book in a duology
Something glints among the pebbles before me. Automatically I reach for it, and for a blissful second, thoughts of my father recede as I gape at the glittering thing in the palm of my hand.
It’s a coin. Gold and shining and big as a plum, with twelve notches around its edge.
A year of life.
A joyless, half-hysterical laugh rises in my throat. Only a Gerling could drop something so precious. What’s a year when you have centuries? (Holland 96)
One of the things I love about where I work is that we are encouraged to pick up ARCs and read them in order to be able to tell customers about them. When I saw this in the break room, I actually had a bit of a heart attack because I was so looking forward to this book releasing in January. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.
Everless is the first book in a forth-coming duology, and is the debut novel for Sara Holland. In this book, the world revolves around time and blood as currency. 17-year-old Jules is a product of this unfortunate circumstance. All she’s known is that time through blood were commodities that you don’t want to give up or lose. She’s also always been told that the Gerlings are dangerous, but never was told whether it stemmed from fear or protection. Sick of seeing her father lose blood, and years off his life, she decides to take matters into her own hands and go back to the place where she and her father ran from years ago; Everless. From there, it’s a flashback into her past, her present, and her future. She struggles to find out who she is, and who is out to get her, and why time works differently for her than for others.
This book, as a debut novel, was stunning. At the beginning, the world building seemed to drag on, but it was fast and easy to catch on to what was happening. The backstory was dispersed throughout the book so as not to overwhelm the reader with all of it at once. This helped with the suspense and also drove my mind into a million different things that could have happened. Everless was full of twists and turns. There were so many times that what I thought would happen was the opposite of what actually happened. And I was here for all for all of it.
One thing that I loved about this book was that the characters and the plot were never what you expected. It gave it an air of mystery while still keeping with the fantasy genre of the book. Jules’ parentage, Liam’s character, Roan’s actions, Caro’s overseeing eye: all of it made for a great story of a rollercoaster of emotions and great storytelling that I didn’t want to end.
I HIGHLY recommend this book. It was full of action, suspense, secrets, high-quality fantasy, and characters that you could love and hate. Sara Holland has created a world that has me hooked, and I can’t wait for the next one.

A Wickes tradesman customer shows a young man the ropes as part of the VIY project.
Wickes scoops 'Big Society' award
Published: 13 December, 2012
NORTHAMPTON: The Volunteer It Yourself (VIY) project, which sees Wickes tradesmen teach young people aged 14-17 accredited building and DIY skills while restoring youth club buildings, has won a Prime Minister's Big Society Award.
The project, which pools non-monetary local and corporate resources for the good of young people and the community, was commended for its Big Society approach.
Congratulating the VIY project on its award win, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "This is a fantastic example of a Big Society approach where young people learn building and trade skills while at the same time providing vital repair work and improvements to their local community centres. It is also a great example of businesses of all sizes working together to come up with a solution that has a lasting effect for everyone."
Wickes donated all the tools and materials for refurbishments and recruited skilled tradesmen through its local sites to act as mentors to young people with little or no experience in DIY or building skills. Working together to carry out repairs on dilapidated youth clubs, young people - some of whom are considered 'NEETs' (not in education, employment or training) - are given an insight into a building trade career and a boost to their self-esteem.
The VIY project aims to help up-skill 1000 young people. There are currently estimated to be 1 million NEETs in the UK.
Danny Thompson, a Wickes tradesman who was a mentor on the project last month, said of his experience: "I've found mentoring on VIY really fun and rewarding. It's great working with the young people, especially those who are really hands-on, keen to take part and get stuck in. I enjoy giving something back to the local community - and helping those who want to be helped."
Tony Holdway, brand director at Wickes, said: "We are delighted that VIY has won a Big Society Award and are proud to be involved. At the heart of its success are the skills and community commitment of our local tradespeople. Their generosity and knowledge drives this project and it is their passion to up-skill young people that will help secure our next generation of builders. We know from our Independent Report, The Voice of Britain's Building Trade, that young people need help accessing a future in the building industry and this provides a first step."
VIY's Big Society award follows initial delivery of the project in London which, so far, has resulted in the refurbishment of five youth club buildings in Hackney, Lambeth, Newark and Streatham.
Since its launch in 2011, 49 young people have earned a qualification as a result of being mentored by tradespeople and, of these, 30 have progressed to further training opportunities and apprenticeships.
Tim Reading, director of The Co-Sponsorship Agency, which developed and helps manage VIY added: "We're delighted to win a Big Society Award! What has been most rewarding is seeing the direct benefits of the campaign. In many ways VIY is encouraging young people to think afresh about practical trade skills as relevant and rewarding employment and career opportunities."
The VIY project is currently being rolled-out across the country with activity commencing at four new clubs in Birmingham next month. Other partners on the national roll-out of VIY include The Big Lottery Fund, London Youth and City & Guilds.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Types of Shells on Fe3O4 Nanoparticles by SPME Method for Determination of Ti (IV) in Toothpaste by Spectrophotometry Using Experimental Design
Author(s): Fatemeh Fallah Tafti, Mahboube Masrournia and Hossein Behmadi
Magnetic Solid Phase Microextraction (MSPME) was investigated as a safe, fast and inexpensive method to measure titanium element by the complex formation with 4-(2-Pyridylazo)-resorcinol as a ligand. First of all, the synthesized nanoparticles were coated with different shells including SiO2, TiO2, chitosan and active carbon. Then, the titanium adsorption cations were evaluated. The complex formation was measured via UV/Vis spectroscopy and the wavelength maximum absorption was determined at 520 nm.The optimization process was performed in two ways. First, eight parameters:pH, volume of aqueous phase (Vaq), sorbent amount (SA), organic solvent volume (V org), adsorption time (tads), desorption time (tdes), salt amount (NaCl) and ligand concentration (LC) were optimized by Plackett-Burman Design (PBD) in statistical software package Minitab ver. 17.0. Secondly, some parameters values were investigated for more confidence by One Variable at a Time (OVAT) method. Finally, the results demonstrated that the best condition of absorption of titanium cations is: [email protected], acetonitrile as desorption organic solvent with 300 ml, volume and pH=3. The calibration curve was linear between 0.01and 0.6 μgâ????ml with a detection limit of 0.003 μg/ml, and Relative Standard Deviation (RSD %)( N=5) for concentration of 0.2 μgâ????ml was 4.2%. This method was used for toothpaste sample and an acceptable percentage of relative recovery (78.6%) was obtained.

Crate News! Grim Dawn Reveals Combat
I think Titan Quest is one of the most underrated action RPGs (as we all now so politely call Diablo clones), so it's with a happy face that I see new news of the team's new game, Grim Dawn. From Crate Entertainment - the company formed by many of the former Iron Lore gang - comes some pre-alpha footage, as spotted by PCG. You can watch it below.
This is the Soldier class in an area called the Burrwitch Slums. It's just outside Devil's Crossing - you know the place. It looks... well, it looks like an action RPG. But that's pretty much what you want from an action RPG. Lots and lots of compelling two-hit deaths and loot hoovering, along with multiplayer play with buddies. Sold. And it looks really gorgeous too, not needlessly wavering from the fixed camera and hand-painted ground.
Crate aren't in the same position as Iron Lore - a studio propped up by THQ and Brian Sullivan's wallet. While they managed to secure the rights to the technology behind Titan Quest for their future projects, as well as continuing two unannounced projects that they'd begun work on at the previous studio, they're a small indie with a pre-made reputation. We're very much looking forward to seeing Grim Dawn in more detail.

He asked his county commission — think Forsyth, Ga., down I-75 way — for a prohibition on young men who can’t keep their pants pulled up. Stroud wants an amendment to the county’s indecent exposure law, according to today’s Macon Telegraph.
“When I see these young men with their pants down on their hips or lower with their boxer shorts showing, or sometimes the tops of their butts, I tell them to pull them up,” he said. “Most of them do. I’ve done it enough, they see me coming, they pull them up. But some don’t. They just look at you.”
Stroud didn’t say anything about punishment, but I’m thinking suspendered sentences.
Today the AJC under an article with the headline "Proposal would ban underwear-exposing pants" reports:
Exposed boxer shorts and thongs would be illegal in any public place in Atlanta if the City Council approves a proposed amendment to the city's indecency laws.
The proposed ordinance states that "the indecent exposure of his or her undergarments" would be unlawful in a public place.
Debbie Seagraves, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia, . . . said any legislation that creates a dress code would not survive a court challenge. She said there's no way the law could be enforced in a nondiscriminatory way. She said it targets a cultural phenomenon that came out of the black youth culture.
"This is a racial profiling bill that promotes and establishes a framework for an additional type of racial profiling," Seagraves said.
Several cities have considered banning saggy pants but only one is known to have adopted a measure, Seagraves said. Delcambre, La., is the only city she knows of that passed such an ordinance. It carries a fine of up to $500 or six months in jail for exposing underwear in public, according to a description of it in Martin's proposed ordinance.

For me, some of my favourite books are those that remind me of a time or place. And so it was that when I went on holiday to the Lake District I decided I wanted to reread books in the Swallows and Amazons series – specifically the original book and it’s sequel Swallowdale. I first read this series starting at the age of about eight and they have stuck with me ever since for their depiction of childhood adventure
The books follow the adventures of children in the early 1900s. In these novels we follow the Walker children – John, Susan, Titty, and Roger holidaying in the Lake District – and their adventures with new friend and rivals the Blacketts – Nancy and Peggy. These adventures centre on the lake and their boats Swallow (for the Walkers) and Amazon (for the Blacketts).
In the first book the Walkers are on holiday and get permission to camp on an island in the lake provided they come and collect milk from the local farm every day and stay in contact with their mother (their father is stationed overseas in the navy). The island – which they name Wild Cat Island – was first “discovered” by the Amazons resulting in a friendly rivalry between the two settled by an expedition to steal each other’s boats. They also declare war on the Blackett’s uncle Jim because he accused John of damaging his houseboat and hadn’t been a good uncle due to being busy writing a book.
The sequel Swallowdale is set the following year and again features the Walker children returning to the lake. This time due to a boat accident they are “stranded” on shore and allowed to camp in a hidden valley in the fells (Swallowdale) where again they maintain their friendship with the Blacketts and explore the hills and fells with incidents like getting lost in fog, injuring ankles, and when Swallow is repaired another boat race.
I think part of the reason I love these books is that they evoke a time when it was possible for children to be able to explore without fear. In the first book Roger is only 7 years old, and the oldest is less than 14, and yet they can go and camp and sail independently and stay away from home for weeks at a time. As a child that was alien to me but was something I would have loved to be able to do.
There is also an incredibly strong sense of place in these books. I never visited the Lake District when young but later books are set in the Norfolk Broads and I recognised everywhere in them (and also got to steer little motor boats when I was about 9 with my father so I felt like I belonged in the books!). Having now become a regular visitor to the Lakes I can see so many places that feel familiar in these earlier books too. Whilst the geography is deliberately made up it’s clear that the lake is Windermere, but Wild Cat Island is on Coniston Water (and very identifiable still to a visitor) and the “mountain” in Swallowdale is the Old Man of Coniston. This grounding in reality has meant generations of children can follow in the footsteps of Swallows and Amazons and have their own adventure too.
I will also finish by saying that for the era there’s not too much content you feel the need to gloss over for a modern reader. Terminology and phrasing may be dated but the female characters are solidly written. Nancy is regarded as the better sailor by John and he also acknowledges she’s stronger than him, Peggy and Susan may make camps but it’s clear that’s because it’s their role as ships mates not because they’re girls, and Titty is the smart and brave one who can set out alone. There are 12 books in the series in total and most are still worth a read now.

Explaining the Stock Market?
One of my many long held pet peeves about the main-stream drive-by media has been how they report changes in the stock market. They look around for some other usually completely unrelated news event and claim that was the cause for the market's rise or decline.
Just like OwlGore and his idiotic global warming movie, the media can't tell the difference between coincidence and causation.

The death toll in thunderstorm and lightning across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand today reached 33.
In Uttar Pradesh, nine people died and six were injured in the lightning that occurred in the state on Monday. High-velocity wind and thunderstorm had lashed parts of Jharkhand on Sunday uprooting dozens of trees and electricity poles and killing 12. In Bihar, a number of thunderstorm-related deaths today reached 12.
The Indian Meteorological Department has predicted thunderstorm and rain accompanied with gusty winds today over some areas in Barabanki, Gorakhpur, Kushinagar and Azamgarh districts in Uttar Pradesh.
The speed of the wind is likely to be 50 km per hour to 70 km per hour. The weather department added that thunderstorm accompanied with squall, gusty winds and lightning is very likely at isolated places over Bihar.
Kerala and coastal Karnataka are likely to witness heavy rain while gusty winds reaching up to 60 km per hour are also likely to affect the coastal states along with Maharashtra and Goa.
The IMD has added that squall is likely to keep sea conditions brought over and around Lakshadweep area, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and the east-central and northeast parts of the Bay of Bengal. Fishermen have been advised to venture into the sea over these areas


We are on the verge of seeing 5G technology getting rolled out by different carriers in 2019. AT&T has already announced that it will roll out its 5G services by the end of the year.
A report from Fast Company indicates that Apple is planning to introduce its first 5G iPhone in 2020. The report also says that Intel’s 8161 5G modem will be back with the 5G iPhone.
This report makes sense as another report from Reuters speculated that Apple is set to make Intel its sole provider for cellular modems, thus ditching Qualcomm in the process after a scuffle with the chipmaker.
According to the report by Fast Company, “Intel has been working on a precursor to the 8161 called the 8060, which will be used for prototyping and testing the 5G iPhone. The 8161 will be fabricated using Intel’s 10-nanometer process, which increases transistor density for more speed and efficiency.”
Apple is unhappy with the Intel if the report is to be believed. Intel has failed to solve the heat dissipation issues in their 8060 modem chip. However, the issue is not enough grave for Apple to reach out to Qualcomm again for 5G modems.
As a plan B, Apple has also opened a conversation with MediaTek, another chipmaker for supplying 5G chips. However, that approach would be reserved if things don’t work out with Intel.
What would you prefer — 5G Intel Modems or MediaTek modems in iPhone? Express your views below.


Mayor to propose new taxes on billboards, taxi rides
By By Luke Broadwater and The Baltimore Sun
Apr 22, 2013 | 6:40 AM
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is expected to introduce legislation Monday that would give the city authority to levy two new taxes.
One bill would authorize a tax of about 25 cents per taxi trip. Another would impose a tax on billboard advertisements within the city limits — $15 per square foot for billboards that electronically change images, and $5 per square foot for those that don't.
A third measure would keep the tax on parking at its current rate of 20 percent, instead of decreasing it to 19 percent, as had been planned.
The bills are among six pieces of legislation needed to make the mayor's $2.4 billion budget plan a reality. The budget includes property tax cuts and raises for city workers, while closing a $30 million shortfall.
Rawlings-Blake has said her budget represents the initial steps of a 10-year financial plan for the city that's necessary to fix a $750 million structural deficit. The plan calls for a 22 percent cut in property taxes — a reduction of 50 cents per $100 of assessed value — over the next decade. Rawlings-Blake said she crafted the proposal with an eye toward making the city a more attractive place to live.

The Day House
Could the walls of the old second-hand shop, on Pike-st, near the railroad station in Covington, speak, some very interesting tales could be told, as where the old store now stands, the old Day House stood, with its old-fashioned pillars in front and its massive porch running the entire length of the building.
Great would have been the surprise of the farmers, who put up at the Day House back in the 60's if they had seen a street car roll by in front of the house, for in those days, Pike-st was hardly a street, but a pike.
Street cars, of course, were unheard of, especially electric cars. A dirt road led up to the house, but now a fine smooth asphalt street passes by.
Directly in back of the old Day House, or what is now the station, were the large stockyards, where farmers put their stock while they put up at the hotel. Progress has stepped in there, too. The old farmers would have been horror-stricken to see a gigantic engine whirl by, with black smoke roiling from the stack, and the hissing steam as it forces its way out of the boiler.
The farmers fed their stock from the little hamlets down in Central Kentucky to Cincinnati, where they could be sold on the stock market.
The old Day House, in what is now Covington, was the last stop until the farmers reached Cincinnati. At almost any hour of the day one could see a large flock of sheep, or drove of hogs being driven down Pike-st. and into the stockyards.
The Old Inn
Daniel White, owner of the second-hand store that is now standing where the old Day House was, remembers the old Day House very well. He says the old farmers would drive their stock into the yards and then come in and register, just as one would do at a first-class hotel these days.
White said there were at times as high as 200 guests at one time in the old hotel. Often thousands of head of cattle and other stock were in the yards at one time.
A few days ago two old stock raisers came to this city with a large number of sheep. The old men were white with age and their sons were with them, taking charge of their stock.
"It's a heap sight different than it used to be," remarked one of the old timers. "It used to be that I walked all the way from Lexington to Cincinnati, driving my stock ahead of me, but now a fellow can just load his stock into a car and then jump into a car himself and you can get here twice as fast and twice as easy. Times have changed a heap," the old man mused.

Compared to other ASEAN countries, Vietnam is the largest exporter of agricultural products to the Nordic market, but the market share is very small, less than 1% of the total agricultural import turnover of this region.
Vietnam ranks 15th in the world and second in Southeast Asia in terms of export turnover of agricultural, forestry and fishery products.
On the afternoon of September 15, 2022, within the framework of the 22nd International Agricultural Expo – AgroViet 2022, the 970 Agricultural Product Connection Forum Team (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) coordinated with the Promotion Center Agriculture trade organized “Forum to connect consumption of agricultural products in the market of the Netherlands and Nordic countries and connect international agricultural business”.
VIETNAM AGRICULTURE PRODUCTS HAVE VERY SMALL MARKET SHARE IN NORTHERN EUROPE
Nguyen Quoc Toan, Director of the Department of Agricultural Product Processing and Market Development (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), said that Vietnam has become the 15th largest country in the world and the second largest in Southeast Asia. on export turnover of agricultural, forestry and fishery products.
Forum connecting the consumption of agricultural products in the Nordic market.
Vietnam’s agro-forestry-fishery production capacity has reached over 140 million tons/year, many products are occupying leading positions in the world market such as rice, pepper, cashew nuts, aquatic products, vegetables, fruits, etc. food and gradually shape the brand, reputation for quality, competitive price in the world market.
In 2021, Sweden, Denmark and Norway will import about 6.5 billion USD of agricultural products, of which vegetables and fruits are 4.8 billion USD; tea, coffee and spices are 1.2 billion USD. billion USD; grain is 503 million USD. However, the amount of agricultural products Vietnam exports to these three countries is very small, thereby showing that the Nordic space for Vietnamese enterprises to exploit is still very large.
The total export turnover of Vietnam’s agricultural, forestry and fishery products in the first eight months of 2022 will reach more than 36 billion USD, of which, there are 7 export products of over 2 billion USD such as coffee, shrimp, rice, cashew, vegetables, wood and wood products. wood and rubber products.
Referring to the EU market, including the Nordic market, Mr. Nguyen Minh Tien, Director of the Center for Agricultural Trade Promotion, said that the immediate challenge is that Vietnamese agricultural products enter the EU market only 4-5 times. % of the total import of 160 billion USD of this market.
Vietnam is lacking big brands, agricultural products exported to the EU mainly rely on the brand of this place. “The EU has very strict regulations on origin, food hygiene and safety. While, we have not had the regular and periodic appearance of Vietnamese enterprises to grasp the market, policy fluctuations, technical barriers, “said Mr. Tien.
Sharing an overview of the Nordic market, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang Thuy, Counselor of the Vietnam Trade Office in Sweden, said that the Nordic region consists of 5 countries: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden. Iceland. Although the population is small (about 25 million people) but has a high income, these are small countries with open and modern economies. In 2021, 4 out of 5 Nordic countries are in the top 10 countries with the highest per capita income in the world. Import turnover is quite impressive, about 500 billion USD/year.

Compared to other ASEAN countries, Vietnam is the largest exporter of agricultural products to the Nordic market, but the market share is very small, less than 1%. “In the 27 EU countries, businesses only focus on exploiting the traditional Western European market and leaving 20 other small countries open while the Nordic market potential is still quite large. The reason is that the market is geographically remote and has the strictest standards among EU countries,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang Thuy, Counselor of the Vietnam Trade Office in Sweden.
NEED A LONG TERM STRATEGY TO EXPAND THE MARKETS
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang Thuy said Nordic people are increasingly inclined to consume organic food with sustainable production methods, with less impact on the environment.
“In order to conquer the Nordic market, businesses need to pay attention to environmental protection, circular economy, sustainable production, social responsibility, and fair trade. For food, businesses Industry should focus on healthy products, safe products, organic products, novel products and regional specialties, convenient products, “said Ms. Thuy.
Nhu Nguyen, Director of VIEC Company in the Netherlands, said that although the Netherlands has only 17 million people, it is a “gateway” market for import and re-export to other European markets. If they want to bring products to the Dutch market, Vietnamese businesses need to have a long-term strategy, need to take many steps to promote the brand of agricultural products so that consumers understand the value of that agricultural product.
“In the short term, if businesses want to export to the Dutch market, Vietnamese businesses should focus on high-value items as well as maintain their brands. In the long term, we need to have coordination with partners who understand the Dutch market.”
Director of VIEC Company, Mr. Nhu Nguyen in the Netherlands shared his experience, when having brought products to the Dutch market, besides meeting standards and regulations, businesses need to build trust. with customers and consumers to build a long-term market. In addition, businesses need to grasp the consumer culture, business culture, import and export culture of partners in the Netherlands.
