MPD misconduct cost the city $22 million since 2015
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58)- Incidents like the Sterling Brown case can not only hurt the image of the city, but it costs a lot of money.
Since 2015, city has agreed to pay out $22,132,212 dollars in police misconduct cases.
It has people calling for a change not only to protect citizens but also budgets.
“No excuses, no apologies, no more hashtags and settlements and lawsuits,” said Alderwoman Milele Coggs a day after the Brown tape was released.
At a recent listening session, the new head of the Fire and Police Commission shared the same concerns.
“That oversight piece is important especially as we turn to try to reduce the number of instances that we have that are instances of police misconduct resulting in lawsuits that result in money that the city has to spend to defend them and in some cases pay in terms of settlements,” said La Keisha Butler.
Of the $28,290,669 in settlements paid by the city since 2015, $22,132,212 has been for police misconduct.
That includes six cases that have paid about $2 million dollars or more.
For perspective, Baltimore has roughly the same population but paid out only about $11 million over the past 4 years.
Defense attorney Jeff Dummier says the money being paid out would be better spent on training.
“The cities, municipalities are going to keep paying all these settlements because their people are not trained,” said Dummier.
Some believe making the investment early on can save money in the long run.
“I think it's better off actually building in some money progressively over the next few years to do more to educate police officer on community relations,” said Jake McCormick.
Sterling Brown's lawyer has said Brown plans to file a lawsuit against the City of Milwaukee.

I ran the THC test and voltage is within spec based on that. When I start a project with THC enabled the torch crashes into my material and never fires. I have a voicemail to support but thought I’d reach out here until I hear from them or hopefully can solve it prior. It is freshly assembled using a Hypertherm 45XP with Langmuir CPC attached. I can generate a straight cut or design without THC enabled and it works just fine.
Any ideas or items I need to check. It seems like the torch thinks the Z 0 is much lower than it is or the THC just isn’t sensing the material.
The THC doesn’t sense the material it reads voltage when torch is on. Sounds like a sticky ihs switch. The ihs switch is behind the lead screw on the z axis makes sure it isn’t touching the lead screw.
Are you getting any error messages?
Could also be programming error. Do you have the correct post processor?
I am using the post processor from Langmuir for FireControl within Fusion 360. I believe you may be right about the IHS switch posting a photo as it looks like it’s in constant contact if I’m following what your saying.
I would say IHS not THC is your issue. If you move the torch up and down manually there is a “light” on the bottom of the firecontrol screen that should change status when that IHS switch makes or breaks. My guess is your IHS switch is not signaling the control box that the material has been contacted.
This pic was stolen from another thread: Search IHS light firecontrol
Here are my errors. I wonder if it’s thinking my material is much thicker than it really is. I’ll have to try and generate the nc file again. I am accustomed to generating designs in mm from 3D printing and everything in CAD/CNC seems to favor inches. I will see if that helps if there aren’t any other suggestions.
Phillipw hit the nail on the head or the IHS on the lead screw if you will. There was a small brass tab on the back side that was touching the lead screw. I knew it was but assumed this was normal. It either came that way or happened when I moved my Z higher than I should have after getting everything together. Thank you everyone! I’m a little disappointed no return call from Langmuir support after leaving them a voicemail, but all’s well that ends well.

Among the highlights, you’ll find classics such as poached, bone-in Hainanese Chicken served with a fragrant chicken stock rice and soy sauce.
And then there are new twists, like Cheese’ N Cheese, a tomato-braised fried rice combo, loaded with egg, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, bacon, grilled spam, corn, red and spring onions, shallots, and bell peppers, served in a hot cast-iron bowl.
Last week, Amy Wong and her daughter Rachel Ewe were at Food Terminal to talk about the concept and cooking.
“Malaysia is a very multicultural country,” Ewe said. “About 50 percent of the population is Malaysian, and like 25 percent Chinese, and 20 percent Indian. That shows up in the food with Chinese and Indian influence and things like noodles and curry.
“We wanted to make the menu at Food Terminal like a Malaysian market with different stalls but at a sit-down restaurant. People can take their time and order different things and enjoy having a group at the table. And we’ll be getting a beer and wine license in the next two weeks, with Asian beers and local beers, and some sake, too.”
Wong, who began her cooking career selling street-style noodles in Malaysia, said that in many ways, Food Terminal is the culmination of her life story, and things like Grandma BBQ Pork, Hainanese Chicken and Thai Chili Ground Pork Cheong Fun are examples of signature dishes she picked up along the way.
“The Grandma BBQ Pork is from a family recipe and it’s our most famous dish,” Wong said. “The Hainanese Chicken is more like a traditional dish that came from China to Malaysia. It’s very tender and the rice is cooked with chicken broth and ginger, garlic, tamarind and lemongrass. Cheong Fun is a soft rice roll that you see for dim sum. We add Thai chili so it’s more of a fusion.”
Ewe said first-time guests are often surprised by the look of the restaurant and the size of the menu, but both were part of the plan from the beginning.
“We wanted this to be like an everyday eatery where people can come for breakfast or lunch, or an afternoon snack or dinner,” she said. “And because of the diversity of everything, you can come every day and never get bored.”

The moment I’ve been waiting for! Volume 1 of the lovely series Orange by Takano Ichigo is officially out today. Purchase directly from Seven Seas Entertainment’s website OR on Amazon for a whopping 50% discount. The story summary:
Everyone has regrets in life. So who wouldn’t take the chance to change the past if given the opportunity? When sixteen-year-old Takamiya Naho receives a mysterious letter, claiming to be from her twenty-seven-year-old self, her life is suddenly thrown into flux. The letter tells her that a new transfer student by the name of Naruse Kakeru will be joining her class, and to keep her eye on him. But why? Naho must decide what to make of the letter and its cryptic warning, and what it means not only for her future, but for Kakeru’s as well.
You can also check out my in-depth review of the series for more information. This is definitely one of my favorite little series, full of heartwarming moments and just touching, overall. Volume 2 is scheduled to come out in May though it is also available for pre-order through Amazon.
In more Takano Ichigo news, our dear mangaka does have a new series out called Re-Collection. There are very few chapters out as of the moment so I probably won’t be doing a review any time soon, but you can go ahead and check out the three chapters which are out on Crunchyroll. Her previous work Yume Miru Taiyou was also well-received. It looks like the success of Orange has led Takano Ichigo sensei to pivot more towards the mystery and supernatural genre… here’s to hoping that she comes out with more great works in the future!

French energy minister recuses herself from Perenco oil dossiers
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne will instead handle any dossiers related to Perenco, to oil services group EP2C and to defence firm Defense Conseil International (DCI), the decree, published in France's Journal Officiel, stated.
PARIS: French Energy Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher will recuse herself from making decisions in any dossiers involving her father's former employer, Anglo-French oil company Perenco, the French government said in a decree published on Tuesday.
The decree specified the rule had been proposed by Pannier-Runacher.
France's public standards watchdog (HATVP) had looked into media reports about assets held by the minister's children after investigative media reported that Pannier-Runacher's father had made her three children shareholders of a company with assets of 1.2 million euros ($1.2 million) with the aim of avoiding inheritance tax.
The reports said Pannier-Runacher had not declared the existence of this company to HATVP when she was appointed a minister.
The watchdog said later on Tuesday that the minister had not violated any rules linked to required declarations, in accordance with Pannier-Runacher's own comments on the case.
"Following these exchanges (with the minister) and additional investigations, the HATVP found that Mrs Pannier-Runacher had not failed to fulfil her reporting obligations", the HATVP said.
It added that the decree published on Tuesday would allow avoiding any potential conflicts of interest going forward.
Pannier-Runacher has denied all allegations of misconduct but last week in parliament she said that in 2016, her father had wanted to prepare his succession via direct transmission to his grandchildren and that this was set up via a French company, paying French taxes and in respect of all French legislation.
Campaigners said that while she was not legally required to report her children's assets, the company's links with the oil industry created a conflict of interest, since Pannier-Runacher, as energy minister, is tasked with reducing France's reliance on fossil fuels.
Pannier-Runacher has also denied all links with Perenco.

Unity is a cool plugin for playing online games. I’ve never seen 3D graphics this good in my browser before, so here are a few games and toys that will undoubtedly impress.
For relaxation purposes, point yourself towards Jetpack Brontosaurus. This is pretty abstract and really attractive: who hasn’t dreamed of flying a brontosaurus around with a jetpack? There are five levels to play, each with a series of missions to complete, like collecting fruit and flying through rings. It reminds me of Thrust, but much slower, in 3D, and with a Brontosaurus, rather than a spaceship. PilotWings, the old SuperNintendo game, is probably a better reference point for this, as both games share a similar pace.
Also gentle and fun, and even cuter than a brontosaurus, is the 20 level TumbleDrop. This is a 2d physics based puzzle game, where you have to remove objects under your star carefully so it lands on a platform instead of tumbling into the sea. Don’t try this at work; you won’t be able to stop!
There are a few cool action games too. My favorite at the moment is Downhill Bowling. Why in the world no one thought of this before is incredible, because this is a really great idea with a ton of of replay value, as you’ll want to keep improving your strike rate down the courses. If you register, you can leave your score on the online scoreboards, making this a very competitive game.
For a dose of mindless violence, try another game I feel I’ve been waiting to play my whole life – Off-Road Velociraptor Safari. Take control of a velociraptor driving a 4×4, then chase down other raptors and run them over. It’s a silly concept but very satisfying, with excellent physics, nice graphics and good crunchy sound effects.

Within the Lake Mead Destination is Las Vegas, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the Valley of Fire State Park, and the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area. The region has a general desert environment, but forests, a lake, and a river are also within the district. Lake Mead, the body of water that the Lake Mead Destination is named after, has various activities that take place on and around it, such as scuba diving, boating, hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, and biking. Lake Mead receives around 7.5 million visitors a year. The city of Las Vegas, located west of Lake Mead, has around 42 million annual visitors. Within the city are venues such as the Strip, the High Roller, the Discovery Children's Museum, and the Planetarium. Aside from the general attractions within the Lake Mead Destination, there are a wide variety of plants and animals in the area. Lake Mead's environment is home to various mammals including the desert cottontails, bighorn sheep, coyotes, wapitis, and mule deer. Birds are also common in the district, especially great-tailed grackles, great egrets, redheads, double-crested cormorants, greater roadrunner, red-winged blackbirds, and ruddy ducks. Weather at Lake Mead varies throughout the year, from extremely hot temperatures in the summer to the occasional drop below zero degrees in the winter. The fluctuating weather makes different times of the year an efficient time to visit depending on what activities are desired.
The Lake Mead Destination houses several cities, multiple national parks and preserves, and Lake Mead, which is the largest body of water within the region. Lake Mead is not a natural lake; instead, it is a reservoir created by the Hoover Dam. For a time, the area where Lake Mead is now located acted as a sanctuary for pioneers. In 1865, when pioneers were looking to expand into the west, they settled a town on the banks of the Colorado River that is within the region. It was abandoned in 1938, and all of the structures were submerged by the waters of Lake Mead. Another interesting fact about the lake is that it has environmental diversity. Because of its large size, there are different ecological features. The Boulder Basin, one of the features near Lake Mead, can be recognized because of its proximity to Las Vegas. Overton Arm, the northern portion of the lake, acts as a home to bald eagles in the winter seasons. The wildlife around Lake Mead is diverse.
Lake Mead is part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which offers various activities for visitors to participate in, such as biking, camping, boating, fishing, and hunting. Hiking has become one of the most popular things to do in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. A backcountry road has been developed to provide access to various areas within the park. Boating on Lake Mead is also one of the most popular events that take place in the area. Horseback riding is less frequent, but trails going through the backcountry make it possible. Lake Mead is highlighted as a freshwater lake, which makes scuba diving an option. The Lake Mead National Recreation Area is known for being a place for photography as well.
Las Vegas is the largest city located within the Lake Mead Destination. It is known for casinos and resorts, but there are also aquariums, museums, restaurants, race tracks, and amusement parks to name a few. The Strip is a famous destination that is located within Las Vegas, with more than four miles of casinos, nightclubs, and theaters. The High Roller is the biggest Ferris wheel in the state of Nevada, but it is also the world's tallest and heaviest. At 550 feet tall, it can carry up to 1,120 people at once. At the Smith Center for the Performing Arts, visitors can go to the two venues which host various activities and shows. Other ventures within the city include the National Atomic Testing Museum, Fremont Street, the Springs Preserve, the Discovery Children's Museum, and the Planetarium.
Both Lake Mead and Las Vegas receive annual visitors, along with tourists from around the country and sometimes from around the world. In 2019, 7.5 million people visited the area, specifically the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Las Vegas is expected to receive an annual amount of 42 million visitors.
Lake Mead, the largest body of water inside the Lake Mead Destination, is located on the eastern side of the region. Also on the east side is a small portion of Arizona, though most of the district is in Nevada. The area wraps around a few different cities in an abnormal shape. Cities bordering its perimeter are Mercury, Indian Springs, Crystal, Temple Bar Marina, Nelson, Jean, Goodsprings, Pahrump, and Amargosa Valley. The largest city within the destination is Las Vegas, followed by Paradise and Henderson. While cities are frequent in the location, there are also a few national sites within the vicinity, such as the Valley of Fire State Park, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, and the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Some of these national parks have red rock or mountains featured within them, while others have forests or lakes. In the Lake Mead Destination, a desert climate is common. Forests and bodies of water are scarce in the area.
Seasons at Lake Mead each have specific temperatures and weather conditions. The months of June, July, August, and September, have the hottest temperatures in the area. High temperatures range from 92-107 degrees Fahrenheit. The lows of the region often range from 67-78 degrees Fahrenheit. At Lake Mead, the monsoon season affects the water during July and August. This can cause thunderstorms in the afternoons and evenings. Thunderstorms are not common in autumn. In the winter (December, January, and February), the temperatures drop to be cooler, with a high of 62 degrees and a low of 30 degrees. Winter also brings a colder temperature to the water of Lake Mead, which usually ranges from 48-58 degrees Fahrenheit. Because of the fluctuations in temperature, it is suggested for people to visit in the fall season or May.
The Lake Mead Destination acts as a home for multiple species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and plants. Bighorn sheep, coyotes, desert cottontails, donkeys, black-tailed jackrabbits, wapitis, mule deer, and Botta's pocket gophers are a few of the mammals that live near Lake Mead. There are also a few different kinds of squirrels and bats that roam the area. Also within the vicinity of the lake are multiple wildflowers and cacti, specifically chias, desert chicories, beavertail prickly pears, California barrel cacti, and Johnson's bee-hive cacti. Various insects like western honey bees, seven-spotted lady beetles, sagebrush checkerspots, and painted ladies all rely on these plants for nutrition and life. Similarly, the birds in the area depend on the bugs for food. Unique birds to the territory include redheads, great egrets, double-crested cormorants, great-tailed grackles, greater roadrunner, ruddy ducks, and red-winged blackbirds.
Before the existence of Lake Mead, which is the largest body of water within the Lake Mead Destination, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area was occupied by early Indian cultures, along with explorers, pioneers, and prospectors. There is evidence that people were living in the area even before that. Based on artifacts and other archaeological evidence that has been collected, it has been estimated that Native American cultures inhabited the district up to 10,000 years ago. It's predicted that more animals and plants were able to thrive in the area during that time. Native American tribes living during this time period commonly hunted game, practiced farming, and gathered local edible plants. A cave near present-day Lake Mead holds the remains of large mammals, including ground sloths, camels, and mountain sheep. Notches found on the bones indicate that the animals were prepared and eaten by humans.
Multiple prehistoric culture groups inhabited the area around the Colorado River, which now links with Lake Mead today. Hunter and gatherers lived in caves while other groups lived in pit houses and practiced early farming. Based on the evidence that has been found, they likely grew beans, corn, cotton, and squash. Technologies that they had included pottery made up of gray-brown and reddish-brown buff. To hunt, they used spears, along with bows and arrows that were made from local materials.
As time passed, explorers and settlers would discover the area and build colonies and mines. As the population grew, the need for water became apparent. The construction of Boulder Dam was initiated by the Reclamation Act of 1902. Later on, this dam would be named Hoover Dam in 1931. The dam created a reservoir by blocking off the flow of the Colorado River and turning it into Lake Mead. The lake, named after Elwood Mead, drew thousands of visitors who were interested in the contrast between desert and water. It was because of this that the Lake Mead Recreation Area was created as the first national recreation area in 1964.
Lake Mead receives its water from snow melting in Wyoming, Utah, Rocky Mountains, and Colorado, along with the Glen Canyon Dam. Water is released into Lake Mead from the Glen Canyon Dam annually, and in turn, water is released from Lake Mead, just in a smaller portion. Since 2000, the Colorado River, the river that Glen Canyon Dam gets some of its water from, has experienced the southwestern North American megadrought. Because of the drought, Lake Mead's water level decreased. June 2010 brought the news that the lake was at 39% of its capacity. On November 30, 2010, Lake Mead reached a new low at 1,081.94 feet. A second new low hit on June 26, 2015, at 1,074.71 feet. Over the next few years, Lake Mead's water level declined at a steady rate, though it would occasionally rise to a higher amount.
In 2021 there was an estimate that foam-backed floating photovoltaics covered 10% of Lake Mead's surface. Because of these photovoltaics, there could be more electricity generated for various cities. Arizona, California, Nevada, and the U.S. Department of the Interior signed an agreement in December 2021. The agreement stated that they were going to spend $200 million for 2022 and 2023 to subsidize water users to improve efficiency. This also led to the "500+ Plan" that has the goal to retain 500,000 acre-feet in the reservoir.
Las Vegas is the largest city within the Lake Mead Destination. Las Vegas was officially declared a city on May 15, 1905. When the Boulder Dam was built, Las Vegas' population grew to 25,000 people from its previous population of 5,000 people. Las Vegas' first casinos were built in 1931 after the state of Nevada saw success from gambling and that it would be profitable for local businesses. During the war years, Las Vegas became home to a flexible gunnery school in 1941, along with the first resort on the Las Vegas Strip which was called the El Rancho Vegas. As the years passed, the population of the city continued to increase exponentially. Today, the city is known for its casinos, hotels, and various attractions.

Let your child develop and discover more!
It’s a tale as old as time. Kids poke, squash, and tear apart their food while parents tell them off to stop playing with the food. It can be messy after all, sometimes even wasteful. But did you know that letting your children have fun with their food is actually good for them?
Yes, and it’s a fact supported by research studies.
According to the Developmental Science journal, letting your children treat their food and snacks creatively can actually help with early brain development.
By exposing the kids to stimuli (for example, food textures) and concepts that are important during their developmental stage. The approach also supposedly encourages kids’ general creativity because they are allowed to treat their food however they want.
Moreover, research studies from the De Montfort University also state that encouraging kids to treat their food like art actually encourages them to develop good eating habits! Findings show that those who were encouraged to explore and handle their food are less likely to develop neophobia (aka picky eating) because they were given the space for food acceptance and exploration.
This is definitely big news for those who have always struggled in making their children eat. As parents, our first instinct is to ask if a meal or a snack is healthy and delicious. Now, these studies suggest that while taste does play a role in encouraging kids to appreciate a meal, it is their ability to touch and handle them themselves that inspires them to snack on them later since it makes them overcome their resistance to them in their own terms.
With this information out now, what can a parent do?
Why not expose your kids to innovative food products that will stimulate their creativity and ingenuity? Thankfully, there are snacks like Gardenia’s Pocket Sandwich, a ready-to-go snack of freshly sealed goodness perfect for merienda, that now comes in double flavors.
Who would have thought that you can have a sealed sandwich, much more have it in double flavors? The snack–which is made of two creamy white bread with yummy fillings–comes in different flavors that are made to appeal to kids’ palate. Parents can choose from their two new double-flavored variants White Chocolate & Blueberry and Raspberry & Peanut Butter or go for the classic, single flavors like Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Strawberry Pastillas, and Cheese.
In addition to this, every pack of Pocket Sandwich is filled with vitamins A, B1, and B2, as well as minerals like iron which are good for the eyes and the release of energy, respectively. But it’s not only those that make this a perfect pocketable merienda for children AND parents. They can actually be a pretty good canvass for food discovery, too–just toast them, fold them, and squeeze to really appreciate the tasty fillings in each sandwich!
More importantly, parents can now cut down their brainstorming and food prep time with these snacks and use their free hours discovering with their children. Kids will always be curious and adventurous in this stage and now you can spend your time discovering and helping them unleash their talents by making snack time easy, convenient, tasty, and creative.
Now, whoever said creativity and food can’t go together?
For parents out there, you can now start your food discovery journey by grabbing a few packs of Gardenia’s Pocket Sandwich. It’s available in all leading groceries nationwide for only PHP 12.75 SRP for double-flavored variants and PHP12.00 SRP for single flavors.
Visit Gardenia’s website at https://www.gardenia.com.ph or follow them on Facebook to keep updated on all their products.

Happy Friday my lovelies! What do you have planned for the weekend? I don't know what it is about Friday that always makes me so much happier. I guess it's because I know the week is winding down and I get to spend time with my husband, our dogs, and our great friends. And, of course, I get excited to post my weekly Fashion Friday blog entry.

there are some good articles out there on brittle fracture..
and some of the elements that affect it
just my opinion... but i think that swords were rather effective close combat sidearms.... ( spear being no. 1 ) ....
- there has to be some value to it..... or why would so many cultures value such a costly item... ( you can make many spears out of one sword ) ... besides, iron production back then was very small scale compared to today... so your limited interms of materials to which you can use for war..
-- even the northlands valued the sword.. as is evidenced by the viking blades... and the complex patternwelds
- are there any Rc tests done on viking blades...
- from the few museum curators that i emailed ... (Longtime ago) they mentioned that the northern swords had a lower Rc ....somewhere round 40
- but i've never seen those stat's anywhere
steel is such a complicated thing.... uggh

Brian Mast’s service record is front and center of a new ad from the Congressional Leadership Fund.
The super PAC released its third ad Friday in Florida’s 18th Congressional District. The 60-second spot features Cody Bonk, a former Army medic of the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. In the ad, Bonk describes what happens the day Mast his legs in an IED explosion in Afghanistan.
The ad also features footage from a TC Palm editorial board meeting, where Democrat Randy Perkins appears to question Mast about his veterans’ health care benefits.
“I find that pretty insulting and disrespectful,” said Bonk in the ad. “I was there with him, I applied the tourniquets. He’s given more than enough for this country. I think he earned his health care.”
The advertisement was set to begin airing on West Palm Beach broadcast and cable networks Friday. The ad is part of the group’s $3.1 million campaign in Florida’s 18th Congressional District.
“Sacrifice and dignity are foreign concepts to Randy Perkins, who uses the freedom Brian Mast fought for to insult and taunt his embodied sacrifice for our country,” said Ruth Guerra, CLF spokeswoman. “Courage and honor is what Brian Mast gave his fellow soldiers and his country on the battlefield, risking life and limb for our freedoms. And that’s what Brian Mast in Congress will give Floridians.”

Arguably one of Saranda’s most significant tourism highlights, Butrint was the first Albanian archaeological site included on UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992. Commonly described as a “microcosm of Mediterranean history,” this city, which boasts archaeological material since prehistoric times, was conqesuently a place of choice for people over the centuries, and has attracted the attention of historians and travelers for millennia.
Located about 18 kilometers south of Saranda, Butrint is one of
Albania’s best historical and archaeological attractions. This marvelous
collection of ancient monuments includes an early-Christian basilica, a
well preserved 3rd century BC theatre, a Roman temple, and an ancient
roman forum. Butrint’s museum is housed in a medieval Venetian tower.
Situated in a wetland setting, visitors will also enjoy an amazing view

Read President Le Roy’s email to the Calvin community sent Sunday, May 31, 2020.
On Wednesday, June 3, 2020, Calvin University hosted a virtual conversation on race, faith, and justice. Michael Le Roy, president of Calvin University, facilitated the 90-minute conversation that included a couple of his colleagues at Calvin and a couple of advisors and friends from the Grand Rapids area.
The panelists included: Michelle Loyd-Paige, Calvin’s executive associate to the president for diversity and inclusion; Jane Bruin, Calvin’s assistant dean of international student development; Tarence Lauchie, pastor of Grace of the Nations Church; and Nathaniel Moody, co-founder of Brown-Hutcherson Ministries and a third ward commissioner in the city of Grand Rapids.
After some introductory and contextual remarks from Le Roy, Loyd-Paige opened the time in prayer.
The 90-minute conversation in its entirety is embedded below.
A few sound bites from the conversation:
“You know, in triage, the main thing is to get the bleeding to stop. And I think that that's where America is right now is to try to stop the bleeding, but ignoring the source of the wound. The source of the wound goes so far back and blood is endless … We're not critically examining what it is that has transpired because we just want the bleeding to stop. But I'm here to tell you it's been bleeding, we've been bleeding for a long time. This country is wounded from the inside out. And it's a cycle where there are tons and tons of blood being spilled in the street proverbially speaking. And until justice rings down like the bloodshed, we're going to continue to have this agony, the agony of both peaceful and non-peaceful protests”
“But right now, we're dealing with hemophilias and that won't stop the bleeding at all. Something has to coagulate it. If you want blood to be coagulated, you’ve got to find a way to stop it. And the way to stop it is to go straight to the root, pay attention to what you do, pay attention to how you think, and be honest about it.”
“I know people are upset, but I wonder what the flavor of the week will be next week. And will people still want to do something about this? Because if we truly do something about this, if we truly try to make this a just society, things are going to have to change. There's going to be a whole lot of discomfort. A lot on everybody's part is going to have to change. And I am not convinced that there is a will for that kind of change. I hope, I pray I am wrong.”

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) - New York state has put together a $30 million loan package to help repair a sewage treatment plant for Binghamton that was damaged by Tropical Storm Lee in 2011.
The money for the Binghamton-Johnson City Joint Sewage Treatment Plant will be spent not only on repairs for the plant serving 120,000 customers, but on improvements that will include a flood wall.
Flood waters inundated the plant in September 2011.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the $30 million in financing will include $24.8 million in interest-free loans for Binghamton and Johnson City.
The package was approved by New York State Environmental Facilities Corp. officials, who say the low-cost financing will save local ratepayers more than $1 million.

Investigators have determined that a London tram that crashed last week, killing seven people, was traveling at nearly four times the speed limit when it derailed.
An interim report by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch into the fatal crash said the tram was traveling roughly 71 km per hour while trying to negotiate a sharp bend with a 20kmh speed limit.
The tram derailed and turned over in Croydon in south London, leaving seven dead and about 50 injured.
The RAIB noted it was dark and raining heavily at the time of the crash but said there is a reflective board noting the speed restriction - around 30 metres before the point where the derailment occurred. The tram travelled 25m before stopping.
There were thought to be around 60 people on the tram at the time of the crash and the driver was the only member of staff onboard.
The early report did not find indications of faulty track or a brake system failure on the tram.
The 42-year-old tram driver, Alfred Dorris, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after the accident. He is free on bail. A spokeswoman for First Group, which carries out the day-to-day operation of the trams, said he had worked at the company since March 2008.
Chief Inspector of Rail Accidents Simon French said he would be in contact with the casualties and the families of those who died to keep them updated throughout the investigation "which will take some months to complete".
He went on: "Our ongoing detailed investigation will now look at the wider context of the accident, including the sequence of events, the way the tram was driven, the infrastructure and how people received their injuries."
The RAIB's initial findings were published as Transport for London offered to pay for the funerals of the seven people killed.
The seven victims of the crash were Dane Chinnery, 19, Philip Logan, 52, Philip Seary, 57, Dorota Rynkiewicz, 35, and Robert Huxley, 63, all from New Addington, and Mark Smith, 35 and Donald Collett, 62, both from Croydon.
It was Britain's first tram accident with on-board fatalities since the 1950s, and the biggest loss of life on the British tram system since 1917.

Esra Kizir Gokcen Painting Workshop
Being an artist from Istanbul; the city in which Europe and Asia meets, has had a remarkable influence on my artistic style. The structure of my works are based on the harmony of calligraphic lines with simplified shapes and symbolic expression. Recalling all the traditional paper marbling, I build up my backgrounds with spontaneous and colourful washes. Using two contrast technics, spontaneous washes and controlled lines together, enables me to emphasise the contrast in life which is the base of all eastern belief systems; yin and yang, mitzvah and sin, life and death… As a migrant artist, I usually compare different cultures and let those observations influence my art forms. Living in London gives me the opportunity to experience diversity and explore innovation while preserving the authenticity of my style. The satisfaction in being able to harness different techniques, adapt those inspirations and express it through my work. I feel I’m evolving deeply and my intention is to express it. This process has started with the decision of relocating to London from Istanbul in search of independance as an artist and as an individual.

The World Game
Association football, otherwise called simply football Association, is an international team sport typically played between two contrasting teams of eleven players each. It is played by about 250 million players across 200 different countries and dependencies, which makes it the most popular sport in the world. It has also been named the most-watched sport in the world, and accounts for about a fifth of the total audience that watches television each week.
In England, professional footballers have largely been succeeded by various forms of public school rugby football. The game was initially played in churchyards, market squares and at football grounds, before spreading to common areas such as local community centres and sports clubs. The game has now spread into the homes of many people, as many people find that the physical nature of the game is beneficial for their health. It has also increased the participation rates in various levels of the British educational system, where football has been introduced into schools since the early nineties.
One of the most recognizable aspects of association football is the goalkeeper. A goalkeeper is usually a holding player who is equipped with a whistle and a handball. Goalkeepers are responsible for keeping the ball from being scored by other players. They do this by either keeping the ball in their own possession, or stopping an opponent from getting to it. In addition, they may block the opposition’s goal with their body, allowing the rest of the team to get onto the ball first if the defense is unable to stop it.
If the goalkeeper successfully manages to keep the ball from being scored by another team, he may then call the referee to give him a penalty kick. The referee will then ask the players to put their feet together and touch the ball again, with one member of each team taking a penalty kick. This is called ‘foul play’ and is a common rule in the game.
Another very important aspect of football is the penalty area. This refers to the area round the goal-line which the referee will measure using the T-line or trapezoid rule. This is the only legal area in which football is played. It is this line which is measured as opposed to the centre circle or the normal playing area. This legal area runs round the clock, even when play is suspended, or during halftime. Even when play is stopped for a foul, this area must be respected and not violated.
A foul on the football field is usually a sending off offence. This is normally accompanied by a penalty kick or a fine. If a player is found to have deliberately tried to foul the referee using an offensive gesture or movement, he could be given a red card. Should a red card to be issued then the player will not be allowed to take part in the following game unless permission has been granted by the IFA board. International football is governed by the FIFA (Federation of International Football Associations) and its member associations.

Import NewsNo Comments
The government has permitted import of 3,00,000 tonnes of raw sugar to control the shortage of the item in the South Indian States. This import will be allowed under the open general license at a duty of 25% and will increase the availability and control the prices in the affected states as per the food ministry.
Sugar attracts an import duty of 50% presently which makes it expensive to import. Previously in this year, the government had permitted import of 5,00,000 tonnes of sugar at zero duty to increase the supply in the local market. This sugar import will be only permitted through the ports of Tuticorin, Karaikal, Chennai, Mangaluru, Kakinada, Gangavaram, and Vishakhapatnam.
The ministry added that refiners and millers with the capacity to process sugar will also be allowed to import and they can apply to the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) for the license until September 12.
Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has estimated that that sugar production will increase by 24% and reach 25.1 million tonnes in coming marketing year (October-September). This increase will be because of 9% increase in area under sugarcane cultivation in Kharif season of 2016. India is the second largest producer of sugar after Brazil and 20.2 million tonnes production has been estimated in the marketing year 2016-17 as per ISMA.
Just last week the center had announced the stock limits on the sugar mills to control the prices from surging in the coming festival time. The stock limit for September has been decided to be not more than 21% of total output of the current year and by end of October, this figure has to be further reduced by 8%. The government has decided on this move to check on the prices from surging during the upcoming festive season.
