Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s application to trademark their new charitable organisation has been initially rejected because they did not sign the paperwork or pay the correct fee.
It comes just months after the couple announced they ‘look forward’ to getting started with the foundation, named Archewell after their son, which will replace their Sussex Royal brand.
The duke and duchess were forced to stop working under that name when they quit as senior members of the royal family earlier this year.
The application to trademark their new venture was turned down by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) because they had not completed it properly.
A Notice of Office Action sent by an examining attorney said they found ‘no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section’.
However it said irregularities in the application ‘may present a bar to registration of the applicant’s mark’. One irregularity included the number of classes for which registration is sought, which was not covered by the fee paid.
The examiner said: ‘Applicant must either submit the filing fees for the classes not covered by the submitted fees or restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already.’ The examiner also pointed out that the application was unsigned, ‘resulting in the application not being properly verified’.
The application was filed by Cobblestone Lane LLC, which is registered in Delaware but linked to the Beverly Hills offices of a Hollywood lawyer who has worked for Meghan for years, The Sun reports. The paper claims it has seen a Notice of Irregularity over the trademark, which says the description for the nature of their charitable endeavour is ‘too vague’.
The Notice of Office Action, a public document, said the wording ‘providing a website featuring content relating to philanthropy, monetary giving, volunteer and career opportunities’ is ‘indefinite and over broad’.
The pair have until August to remedy the errors in the application, which was filed on March 3. It is understood that even the most carefully drafted trademark application may be initially rejected by the USPTO, with one in five failing their first examination.
A source told The Telegraph the paperwork was part of the ‘normal back-and-forth of the trademarking process’, which is still ongoing. They said it is incorrect that the application has received a final refusal. Meghan and Harry confirmed their plans for a new charity in April after their shock exit from royal life in January.

Proper custard adds so much to rhubarb, turning it into such a beautiful treat.
Just make sure you pour it out in front of everyone, so they can see the gorgeous marbling effect. I’ve used balsamic vinegar to flavour my rhubarb, which you might think a bit bonkers, but it adds a really interesting layer of sticky sweetness. Give it a go!
Preparation Time 1 hour
For the rhubarb
800 g rhubarb, washed and cut into 8cm pieces
4 tablespoons caster sugar
zest and juice of 2 oranges
1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
For the custard
500 ml organic semi-skimmed milk
568 ml single cream
5 tablespoons caster sugar
1 vanilla pod, scored lengthways and seeds scraped out
8 free-range egg yolks
For the crumbly shortbread
250 g unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing
125 g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
250 g plain flour, sifted, plus extra for dusting
125 g semolina or cornflour
1 To cook the rhubarb, preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Place the rhubarb pieces in an ovenproof dish or tray and sprinkle over the sugar, orange zest and juice, grated ginger and balsamic vinegar. Cover with foil and cook in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the rhubarb has softened. Have a taste and add more sugar if it is too tart for you. Pop the foil back on top to keep the rhubarb warm while you make the custard.
2 To make the custard, mix the milk, cream, 3 tablespoons of caster sugar and the vanilla pod and seeds together in a saucepan. Bring just to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave for a couple of minutes to cool slightly and allow the vanilla flavour to infuse. Discard the vanilla pod.
3 In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the 2 remaining tablespoons of caster sugar until pale. Ladle a little of the hot milk mixture onto the eggs and whisk immediately. Continue to add the milk, a ladleful at a time, whisking each well before adding the next. Pour this mixture back into the warm saucepan and cook very gently for a few minutes, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. The eggs should cook just enough to thicken the custard, but not enough for it to scramble. If you start to see flecks or lumps of egg in your custard, don’t panic – just take it straight off the heat and pour into a cold saucepan to cool it down then strain through a sieve into a clean jug. Serve the rhubarb at the table with a good drizzle of your warm delicious custard.
4 To make the crumbly shortbread, preheat the oven to 150ºC/300ºF/gas 2. Butter a 24cm square baking tin. Cream the butter and sugar together with a whisk or wooden spoon, until pale, light and fluffy. Add the plain flour and semolina or cornflour. Mix lightly with a wooden spoon, then use your hands to knead it into a smooth dough.
5 Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with flour and roll the dough out so it’s about 2cm thick all over and big enough for the baking tin. Transfer the dough to the tin, poking it into the corners with your fingers (it doesn’t have to be perfect). Prick all over with a fork, then pop it in the oven for 50 minutes, until lightly golden on top.
6 Remove the shortbread from the oven and sprinkle generously with caster sugar. Let it cool slightly in the tin, then cut it into 12 chunky, finger-sized pieces and enjoy!
The Carousel thanks Jamie Oliver for this recipe.

Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter are all set to mesmerise us with their upcoming film 'Dhadak'. The duo is currently busy promoting their film throughout India. Recently, they headed to Lucknow-The city of Nawabs, to promote their love flick. After a hectic day at promotions, and their flight got delayed, the hungry souls went on to order pizza to fill their stomachs.
The video was shared on their Instagram handle of Dharma Productions where Janhvi can be seen very focused while ordering her pizza while Ishaan was being crazy as well. He couldn't stop making fun of his co-star. The video was captioned as, "What happens after a hectic day of promotions + a flight delay - a very enthusiastic @janhvikapoor & @ishaan95 ordering pizza just like all of us!"
Watch the video yourself:
Well, their craziness definitely reminded us of our pizza treats with friends. And the way Janhvi was so keen while ordering pizza is basically all of us at pizza eateries, because Pizza is bae.
'Dhadak' is an official remake of hit Marathi film 'Sairat'. The film will be Janhvi Kapoor's debut while Ishaan has already worked in a film 'Beyond the Clouds' which was released a few weeks back. The film is being produced by Karan Johar and directed by Shashank Khaitak. The film is set in the backdrop of beautiful city Udaipur, Rajasthan.
The trailer of the film was praised by people and went viral in no time. However, the song 'Zingaat' failed to impress certain people as they started drawing comparisons with the Marathi version the song.
Janhvi is the elder daughter of late actress Sridevi who passed away this February. It was her dream to see Janhvi making her debut in Bollywood and right before her dream becoming into reality, the unfortunate incident happened.
'Dhadak' will hit the screens on 20 July 2018.
Stay tuned for more updates!


The creators of hit Life on Mars are to make an archaeological drama series for the BBC.
Philip Glenister (left) and John Simm starred in Life on Mars
Bone Kickers, written by Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham, will be filmed in Bath later this year and is due to be screened on BBC One next spring.
The drama, which has yet to be cast, focuses on a team whose historical investigations unlock potential dangers and mysteries in the present.
Life on Mars, which finished earlier this year, is being remade for US TV.
In the UK, a sequel to the time-travelling police drama is being made with Spooks star Keeley Hawes.
Called Ashes to Ashes, it will see Philip Glenister reprise his role as politically incorrect DCI Gene Hunt.
Polly Hill, the BBC's commissioning editor for independent drama, said Bone Kickers would make history and archaeology "sexy, accessible and exciting".
Each episode will deal with a different historical period, including the excavation of murdered 18th century slaves and the discovery of the True Cross.
The drama's central character, Gillian, is pitted against her arch-rival, TV historian Daniel Mastif, in the hunt for an archaeological treasure.
Their race will form the backdrop of the first series' climax.


A Fortune 500 medical technologies firm wanted to reduce the manual input and cycle time when building battery cell clusters for their battery driven devices by installing a robotic welding station. The engineering staff were knowledgeable in the equipment and intended process flow, but since this was a novel station, no one had previously qualified a complex automated station or the SCADA and PLC systems required for the process at this site.
Performance Validation was contracted by the medical device manufacturer to assess the quality system requirements, develop, and execute the deliverables required to validate the automated robotic welding station. These deliverables include:
Performance Validation was contracted while the process was being developed and was able to assist in project scheduling and timelines.
Performance Validation was able to deliver the Validation Final Report, releasing the equipment for production on schedule and under budget. All validation deliverables fully met the medical device manufacturer’s quality requirements and will be used as a template for future validation projects which will incorporate this level of automation.
The completion of validation requirements for this station allowed for a reduced cycle time for battery cluster assemblies while reducing potential errors from batteries being manually loaded prior to welding. This equipment allowed for additional capacity of production for multiple products which was not possible with the old manual production line.
The Performance Validation team was able to leverage knowledge of ISO 13485: Medical Devices and 21 CFR 820: Quality System Regulation to ensure all regulatory requirements were met. The PV team was able to leverage knowledge and prior experience with the client’s own quality system and key personnel to anticipate the client’s expectations for documentation processes and acceptance (i.e. validation planning, document development, routing, approval, and reporting) with minimal client resource effort.

There in the reading hall of the arts department is organized the book exhibition “Kazak bi onerynyn negizyn salushy Shara Zhienkulova”, dedicated to the 110-th birthday of the People’s artiste of the Kazakh SSR, dancer, pedagogue Shara Zhienkulova.
The purpose of the exhibition is the acquaintance of the readers with the life and creative activity of Shara Zhienkulova , the propagation of the Kazakh dancing culture;the ethnic-national traditions of domestic choreography.
Shara Zhienkulova (the real name Gulshara). The years of life: August 18, 1912 – May 21, 1991. Shara Zhienkulova was the fourteenth child in the family of Baimolda Zhienkulov, the merchant of the First guild from Vernyi (now Almaty). In 1929-1930 she studied at the historical faculty of the Kazakh pedagogical institute (now the Kazakh national pedagogical university after Abai).
The first role of Shara Zhienkulova at the Kazakh dramatical theatre after M. Auezov – that of Pulish by the play of B. Mailin “Maidan” (“The Battle”). She performed the roles of Enlik, Karagoz in the plays “Enlik - Kebek”, “Karagoz” of M.O. Auezov and other roles. When on January 13, 1934 there for the first time rose the curtain of the new Kazakh State musical theatre in Kazakhstan, one of the bright moments was the first national Kazakh dance “Kelinshek” in the play “Aiman - Sholpan” (the musical drama of M. Auezov). It was created, staged and performed by Shara Zhienkulova, and it was the beginning of the Kazakh choreography.
Shara Zhienkulova performed the folk dances in the musical drama “Aiman - Sholpan” of M. Auezov, in the operas “Kyz Zhibek”, “Zhalbyr” and “Er Targyn” of E.G. Brusilovskiy. Zh.Zhirenkulova danced the party of Mamyr in the first Kazakh national ballet “Kalkaman - Mamyr” (1938). She played the role of Balym in the cinema film “Amangeldy”. Together with the ballet master L.A. Zhukov she implemented the staging of the ballet of I.N. Nadirov “Koktem” (“The Spring”, 1940). Shara Zhienkulova is called “the diamond” of the musical-plastic art. She was marked with wonderful grace but especially unusual was the drawing of the hands, the speaking movements of the fingers, the head. These peculiarities Gulfairus Ismailova fixed in her picture “The Kazakh waltz”.
The main pedagogue and mentor of Shara was the experienced ballet master of the theatre, the fomer soloist of the Bolshoi theatre and the partner of the world-known Anna Pavlova Alexander Artemyevich Aleksandrov. He gave Shara the good basis of the Russian classic dance and all the time paid attention at the necessity of national character in art. The result of their joint work was “Tattimbet” which still is deemed to be one of the best Kazakh dances.
In 1940-1962 Sh. Zhienkulova worked at the Kazakh philharmonic society. In 1962-1966 she was the head of the ensemble of singing and dancing of the KazSSR. In 1966-1975 Zhienkulova worked as director of the Almatinskiy choreographic school (today the Almatinskiy choreographic school after A. Selezneov). There among her girl pupils were: the people’s artiste of the KazSSR G. Talpakova, the honored artistes of the KazSSR K. Karabalinova, B.Baizhumanova and others. In 1965 there at the Alma-Atinskiy choreographic school Shara Zhienkulova opens “The people’s department”, there appear her pupils and successors. Shara Zhienkulova travelled around the republic much, studying the everyday life, traditions and rites of different regions. As the result of these travels there appeared the dances: “Tattimbet”, “Aizhan kyz”, “Kara zhorga”, “Kyryk kyz”. In 1936 and in 1958 she participated in the decades of Kazakh literature and art in Moscow.
The awards: the Honored artiste of the Kazakh SSR (1936), the People’s artiste of the Kazakh SSR (1938), Awarded with the order of Lenin, twice with the orders of the Labour Red Banner, the order of “Badge of Honour”, the medals. The winner of the State prize of the Kaz.SSR (1968). There in the capital of Kazakhstan the city of Nursultan one street was named in honour of Shara Zhienkulova.
There at the exhibition are exposed the books of Shara Zhienkulova named “The secret of the dance”, “The dances of friends”, and also the monograph “Symbat”, in which there are systematized 40 national dances. The research is designed for the students of the choreographical schools, the participants of the artistic collectives and all those wishing to study the choreography of the national dance. The attention of the visitors of the exhibition will be attracted also by the photo-album of the Kazakh dance published in honour of the centenary jubilee of Shara Zhienkulova, and also the collection of works of the painters, dedicated to the Kazakhstani women “Tugan zherimnyn aiyeldery”, the biographical data about Shara Baimoldayevna in the book ”Almaty kalasynyn tarikhi tulgalar kelbetinde” and multiple encyclopaedic editions.
We invite everybody to the book exhibition!

A Pakistan government team negotiated a deal late Friday with Islamist groups, apparently defusing three days of crippling protests over the Supreme Court's acquittal of a Christian woman accused of blasphemy against Islam's holy prophet.
The government agreed under the deal to take "legal measures" to prevent the woman from leaving the country while the court hears a petition against the verdict.
Members of a group called Tehreek e-Labbaik ya Rasool Allah, or TLYR, blocked roads in cities across the country and clashed with police overnight. In a cellphone video of one such clash, a protester could be seen firing a pistol.
The protests started Wednesday morning after the highest court in the country upheld Asia Bibi’s appeal against a guilty verdict. She had been facing death row since 2010 under Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws.
According to Bibi, she was falsely accused after a heated argument with other women who refused to drink water she had given them because she was Christian.
Other religious groups also held demonstrations Friday, albeit peacefully.
The government banned television coverage of protests linked to the issue and suspended cellphone service in several cities throughout the day to contain the crowds.
Schools across the country were closed and many workers stayed home. Traffic was light and unpredictable, with roads blocked either by TLYR members or the police in some places.
People turned to Twitter, Facebook, and other social media forums as news on dozens of television channels in Pakistan was scant. The rumors and unconfirmed reports that followed caused anxiety among those who had relatives or friends traveling or stuck away from home.
Media outlets and foreign journalists often used cellphones rather than cameras to acquire footage of the demonstrations after several instances of TLYR members beating up cameramen or breaking their equipment.
While the protests were spread out and none of the spots had more than a few thousand people, those present seemed charged and ready to fight.
“If the police come here we will hit them with this baton. We are here for Islam. If they conduct an operation, we are willing to die. We will not retreat,” said an 18-year-old man wielding an iron baton, who had come alone from another city to attend the protest in the capital, Islamabad.
Several people brought their children to the protests despite the risk of security operations, which could include tear gas, water cannons, a baton charge, or rubber bullets.
One man, who brought four young daughters and an infant to a rally in Islamabad, said he planned to stay despite the risks to his children.
“All of my children, my parents, my whole family, is for the prophet,” said Mohammad Zahid Niazi.
Earlier in the week, TLYR leaders called for the killing of Bibi and the Supreme Court justices who passed the acquittal judgment, an overthrow of the elected government, and a mutiny in the army against its chief. This prompted Prime Minister Imran Khan to respond with a strongly-worded message on national TV.
By Thursday morning, however, the government seemed to have softened its stance, announcing it would negotiate for a peaceful end to the protests.
Thursday night, the leader of TLYR, Khadim Hussain Rizvi, tweeted that the negotiations, which included government ministers and an army general from Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI, had failed. He called on his followers to bring the country to a halt Friday.
Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry tweeted Friday morning, though, that the government was still negotiating with TLYR.
The spokesman for Pakistan’s military, Asif Ghafoor, told Pakistan’s state TV Friday morning the situation should be resolved peacefully.
“Both sides should talk to each other. It should not reach the stage where the armed forces have to be called,” he said.

The last time we went to SoDak, in 2003, we stopped at the usual places (Mt. Rushmore, Wall Drug, Crazy Horse). This time we're planning to see the Badlands and Custer State Park.
Can you tell me about some other, not so popular places that we should check out? We haven't charted our route yet, but I'm assuming we'll be
driving out on I-90 from Minnesota. But we'd be game to change that if we hear about something to see in another area.

The Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles, has asked for State prosecutors to look at the content of an incendiary phone-message chat among some retired Spanish air force officers.
Controversy built last week after it emerged that the private message group had been discussing "coups" and "firing squads". The Ministry wants to see if those in the chat have committed any sort of offence and says that the chats, "carry views totally against the constitutional order, making veiled mentions of a military uprising".
The messages were revealed by the Infolibre website and were reportedly written by the retired military men, all over 70. Some members have come forward to distance themselves from the content.
The messages criticise the current government and mention the need to carry out "uprisings" due to political drift.
One of the group members is a general, who Infolibre named as Francisco Beca and who professed his wish to "shoot 26 million sons of a bitch" opposed to his ideology.
"Spain is full of ungovernable people and the only way is to make them more cultured, something that's impossible with the left," one message reportedly said.
There were fierce arguments between Socialist MPs and hard-right Vox in parliament, with the latter citing similar incendiary comments in the past on the left.
The conservative PP said that the comments did not reflect the modern armed forces.

I made a model which exports polygons to a new layer within a loop (FOR iterator: from value 1614 to 1654, by value 10). Nr. 1 is the first shapefile, Nr. 2 is the second shapefile.
I only want to export adjacent polygons from the previous layer See also the inserted picture. I believe a get count iterator is needed, in combination with a select by location tool. I played around, but can't get it to work in a model. I tried this, the model actually selects polygons which touch boundaries. But the while iterator doesn't function quite right. I get this error message (see below):
*ERROR 000539: Error running expression: EXP (count) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<expression>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'count' is not defined Failed to execute (Calculate Value).*
Polygon neighbors is not an option since I am working with multiple shapefiles.

We are writing a three-part series on the health of one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in our region, the Chinatown-International District (CID). With a one year nationally-funded grant, The BUILD Health Challenge has led to a robust community partnership that will take a deep look into the health and vibrancy of the CID.
To start us off, Nadine Chan, Epidemiologist from Public Health, shares some of her insights from taking a close look at what our health data can tell us about the neighborhood.
The BUILD Health Challenge grant—which funds InterIm Community Development Association’s Healthy Communities Program and its partners—selected grantees to work on “bold, upstream, integrated, local, and data-driven” solutions for healthy communities. While data is last on the list, it is the first thing we started with. It is through a close look at neighborhood-level data where we can start to see some of the important health issues that are impacting our communities.
For example, in King County here are some key data facts:
- 81.7 years— the average life expectancy for residents in our County.
- 11% of people are living at or below poverty.
- Cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s are the leading causes of death.
When we took a look at this data from one of our most historic neighborhoods–the Chinatown-International District (CID), we see:
- 79 year average life expectancy – this is seven years less than the longest life expectancy experienced in the region.
- 34% of people are living at or below poverty.
- Diabetes is the leading cause of death.
The level of disparities we see in a neighborhood just a few minutes walking-distance from downtown Seattle are striking. For example, according to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, poor air quality contributes to more asthma, respiratory and cardiac-related hospital visits per capita than 99% of other Puget Sound neighborhoods. Data from our partners also tells us that . . .
Resilience despite a history of displacement
As noted in the newly released Seattle Chinatown – International District 2020 Healthy Community Action Plan, “The CID is the historic and cultural hub of the Asian and Pacific Islander community in the region. People live here. . . The CID is a complex place. It is rich in cultural expression, yet experiences extreme poverty.”
For example, the community experiences impacts of a long history of historic disinvestment, social and environmental injustices and pressures of displacement.
The 2020 Healthy Community Action Plan walks us through a history of social and environmental changes such as the overnight displacement of 7,000 Japanese American Seattle residents in 1942 to the construction of I-5 in 1960, which cut right through the neighborhood, destroying many Chinese and Japanese owned businesses and homes.
At the same time, this is a neighborhood that has been resilient time and time again despite these injustices.
This data only tells one side of the story. In our next segment, Safety, stress and public health: Chinatown-International District neighborhood voices, Valerie Tran from InterIm Community Development Association will share the perspectives from the people who live and work in the neighborhood by sharing findings from their community-wide survey. Look for that upcoming.
* Partners in the BUILD Health Project include: Chinatown – International District Business Improvement Area (CIDBIA), InterIm CDA, International Community Health Services (ICHS), Public Health – Seattle & King County, Seattle Chinatown – International District Preservation and Development Authority (SCIDpda), Swedish Health Services, and Yesler Community Collaborative (YCC)

Blog: Confectioners strike upbeat note at ISM
Michelle Russell | 29 January 2013
For an industry that has confronted significant challenges in the last year, namely rising raw material costs and weak consumer sentiment, I travelled to Cologne's ISM confectionery exhibition this week with trepidation.
2012 wasn't an easy one for the food industry as economic pressures put the squeeze on manufacturers and tight household budgets meant consumers weren't spending or indulging as much, forcing manufacturers to innovate with value propositions in order to boost profits.
With so much to contend with, I was expecting a rather cautious mood to be prevalent. The reality is rather different: I was pleasantly surprised at how ambitious and innovative the global confectionery industry has continued to be, despite the challenges it has faced.
Russia's United Confectioners and the UK's Eat Natural spoke to just-food about their export ambitions, while US giant Hershey told of its overseas ambitions and optimism for the future. Elsewhere, journalists crowded into the press centre to hear Barry Callebaut executives outline the "trends of tomorrow's chocolate market". The confectioner revealed what it believes are six main market trends it is looking to for innovation. Expect more on this in our news pages.
A packed day, but one that wasn't over yet. As the thousands of visitors streamed out of Koelnmesse, I headed to Happy Hour, courtesy of the Brazilian Association of Cacao, Chocolates and Candies Industry stand, where a cheeky cocktail rounded things off perfectly. With a tiring day two over, let us see what day three brings for the global confectionery market.

Nigeria's former military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, has said that if he contests election and wins, nobody can annul it. Mr. Babangida, who was responding to questions from journalists shortly after he paid a courtesy call to the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, implied that he was able to annul the 1993 election because at that time, he operated as a military ruler. That sword he murdered with, according to IBB, can not be used to kill him.
Mr. Babangida had in 1993 annulled the election of the late Moshood Abiola, who was believed to have won the election.
Evil Genius, General Ibrahim Babangida, has come out heavily on the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, over his stance on zoning in the party. In a statement signed by Babangida, the former military dictator said it was not proper for Nwodo to criticise zoning because Nwodo himself “is a direct product of zoning.”
Text of the statement reads:
“I am pleased to read the position of the PDP Chairman, Chief Okwesilieze Nwodo, and the newly selected Party Chairman who was first among equals when he was zoned-in from a group of other persons from the South-East Zone. “He is a direct product of zoning after waiving some encumbrances that would have mitigated his emergence as the new Chairman of our great Party."
Known faces within the biological and political family of the deceased Lamidi Adedibu, acclaimed ‘strongman of Ibadan politics’, dominated the crowd that flagged off the campaign for the presidential ambition of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB), a former military ruler of Nigeria.
Held at the KS Motel, Ibadan, Saturday evening, the event was to formally inaugurate the state and local government executive committees for the IBB Presidential Campaign Organisation.
Daughter of M.K.O. Abiola, Mrs. Hafsat Abiola-Costello, has described Nigeria’s former military dictator, General Ibrahim Babangida, as a case study of policy and administrative inconsistencies. Hafsat recalled that IBB’s eight years of administration between 1985 and 1993 was marred by betrayal of public interest.
Hafsat, whose mother, Kudirat Abiola, was murdered by the military, later founded the Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND). Speaking during a training programme organised by KIND to sensitise women in politics ahead of the 2011 elections, she observed that IBB messed up an eight-year opportunity he had to make a difference in people’s lives and to contribute in promoting the quest for democracy in Nigeria.
After years of prevarication by several governments, the chicken might be coming home to roost for Ibrahim Babangida. NEXT gathered in Abuja, the seat of power, last night, that the Federal Government has raised a committee to probe the eight-year military government of Mr. Babangida. The former military president is alleged to have mismanaged over $12.4 billion that accrued from crude oil sales during the Gulf War.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), told our correspondent in a telephone conversation that the committee is chaired by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Justice, Abdulahi Yola.
A desperate opportunist, Ibrahim Babangida, suspecting he is being stripped of his influence and possibilities within the ruling party, now plans to carry out his presidential ambition through any political party. Asked, if his loyalty is still to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as he had previously claimed, IBB's simple answer was, he will contest through "whichever party"will take him.
Obviously jittery, Babangida said he was not afraid of the possibility of President Goodluck Jonathan using incumbency to kill his dream of returning to power next year.
Major Debo Basorun was the military press secretary to Ibrahim Babangida (retd.). In this interview with NIYI ODEBODE of The Punch, he opens up on his ordeals in the hands of the former dictator and the death of Dele Giwa.
Under what circumstances did you leave the army?
There was a threat to my life and that is what this brouhaha is all about. I was privy to some of the terrible things Babangida and Akilu did when we were in the army. There was this determination on their path to silence me. I was surprised when I saw my name in the newspapers two weeks ago. They said I was wanted. That is far from the truth. I resigned from the army.
You said you were privy to some information. What information?
My problem is 2011. Babangida wants to become president again. I am not saying I am the only person, but I am one of those who know that he is connected to the death of Dele Giwa. That is why they have been trying to kill me.
Presiding Bishop of the Winners' Chapel, Dr. David Oyedepo, has said the ghost of the annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election will continue to haunt self-styled military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, for life.
The cleric said Nigerians are wiser than Babangida and have not forgotten the pains he inflicted on them through the cancellation of the polls adjudged to have been won by the late business mogul, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (M.K.O.) Abiola.

Loss of appetite is one of the earliest signs that something is not right with your cat. Sometimes a cat won’t eat due to a slight stomach upset but this should not last for more than a day. His interest in food should have come back within 24 hours. Otherwise, it is imperative to have him checked by his veterinarian. Another thing to look out for is if your cat won’t eat and has trouble walking too. Lack of physical activity could be a secondary condition to not eating or it may be a totally separate problem.
If a cat won’t eat and has trouble walking for 24 hours there is usually something wrong.
Do You Want To Know Why Your Cat Won’t Eat?
The list of causes why a cat won’t eat can be pretty lengthy and but here are the more commonly encountered ones and a few examples:
Inflamed gums are painful and cat will not want to eat.
Tumor in the mouth causes difficulty and pain in eating.
· Conditions affecting the mouth: tooth and gum problems, abscess, tumors
· Gastrointestinal issues: inflammation, presence of worms, obstruction
· Kidney and Liver disease: toxin build-up in the blood causes nausea and vomiting
· Other: stress from recent vaccination, change in diet, anxiety due to change in environment
. Cats sometimes change their preference for food, see here
Do You Want To Know Why Your Cat Won’t Eat and Has Trouble Walking?
If your has trouble walking it could be the direct result of the calorie deficiency and dehydration due to the cat not eating and drinking. It may also be an independent issue that may have contributed to the cat losing its appetite to eat. Here are some suspect conditions when your cat has trouble walking:
· Pain: originating from either conditions related to nerves, muscles, or bone
Difficulty walking may be due to a muscular or neurological problem
· Diabetes: can cause weakness of the hind limbs
· Kidney and Liver disease: toxin build up in the blood can cause incoordination in movement, anemia can cause poor oxygenation of the blood causing weakness
· Urinary blockage and constipation: may cause discomfort that looks like difficulty walking
· Blood clot: may affect blood supply of the limbs causing sudden trouble walking
What Should I Do?
Syringe feed every few hours to meet caloric requirements.
When a cat refuses to eat, keep in mind that the most time you can afford to wait and observe is 24 hours. During this waiting period you can institute home care by syringe feeding with a semisolid diet of wet cat food and water every 4-6 hours to supply calories and prevent dehydration. A cat who is not eating again within one day is ill and you needs to take it to a veterinarian. If your cat won’t eat and has trouble walking it could be due to certain diseases. Such diseases have overlapping symptoms so a comprehensive physical exam and laboratory tests need to be done to identify cause.
Encourage your cat to drink water during this time. If getting your cat to drink water is a consistent issue please consider investing in a cat water fountain.
The physical exam should include a neurologic exam and listening for abnormal heart and lung sounds. Blood tests can check for anemia, infection, liver and kidney disease among other conditions. Fecalysis, urinalysis and x-rays may also be performed.
The veterinarian will conduct a neurologic examination.
Tips for Everyday Awareness
In general, as a pet parent, you need to be observant and be aware of your cat’s normal physical appearance, behaviour, appetite, grooming habits and activity. Your cat depends on you to notice immediately when something is off. Make it routine also to check on your cat’s eyes and nose for discharges, check the mouth for any tooth or gum problems and the colour of the gums. Watch out for sneezing, coughing, breathing difficulty, vomiting, change in litterbox habits, abnormal gait and excessive vocalisation. Feel your cat from head to tail for any lumps and bumps while at the same time checking for fleas and areas of lost fur. Doing these regularly, you will be able to catch a problem early and it will help to make its resolution easier.

April 9. Here is my heart, O Christ; thou know'st I love thee.
But wretched is the thing I call my love.
O Love divine, rise up in me and move me--
I follow surely when thou first dost move.
To love the perfect love, is primal, mere
Necessity; and he who holds life dear,
Must love thee every hope and heart above.
10. Might I but scatter interfering things--
Questions and doubts, distrusts and anxious pride,
And in thy garment, as under gathering wings,
Nestle obedient to thy loving side,
Easy it were to love thee. But when thou
Send'st me to think and labour from thee wide,
Love falls to asking many a why and how.
11. Easier it were, but poorer were the love.
Lord, I would have me love thee from the deeps--
Of troubled thought, of pain, of weariness.
Through seething wastes below, billows above,
My soul should rise in eager, hungering leaps;
Through thorny thicks, through sands unstable press--
Out of my dream to him who slumbers not nor sleeps.
12. I do not fear the greatness of thy command--
To keep heart-open-house to brother men;
But till in thy God's love perfect I stand,
My door not wide enough will open. Then
Each man will be love-awful* in my sight;
And, open to the eternal morning's might,
Each human face will shine my window for thy light.
13. Make me all patience and all diligence;
Patience, that thou mayst have thy time with me;
Diligence, that I waste not thy expense
In sending out to bring me home to thee.
What though thy work in me transcends my sense--
Too fine, too high, for me to understand--
I hope entirely. On, Lord, with thy labour grand.
14. Lest I be humbled at the last, and told
That my great labour was but for my peace
That not for love or truth had I been bold,
But merely for a prisoned heart's release;
Careful, I humble me now before thy feet:
Whate'er I be, I cry, and will not cease--
Let me not perish, though favour be not meet.
15. For, what I seek thou knowest I must find,
Or miserably die for lack of love.
I justify** thee: what is in thy mind,
If it be shame to me, all shame above.
Thou know'st I choose it--know'st I would not shove
The hand away that stripped me for the rod--
If so it pleased my Life, my love-made-angry God.
*I think MacDonald meant "awful" in the sense of "full of awe."
**MacDonald is saying that God is justified when he punishes us.
Blessed Palm Sunday! The above is excerpted from George MacDonald's A Book of Strife in the Form of The Diary of an Old Soul (Public Domain, 1880). For further information see this post. These are the entries for/from April 9 through 15.

By Cathleen Watkins
Interviewing is a large part of our work as investigators. We frequently ask people to describe difficult or painful experiences or to share information that might cause them negative repercussions later. We might need to ask a college student about a sexual assault, or an employee about bullying by an abusive supervisor.
Given the challenges of this work, those who are new to the job often ask about the best ways to get people to open up. They want tried-and-true approaches for coaxing interviewees into being honest and forthcoming.
Journalists, biographers, therapists, and health care workers also need these tools. Parents of silent teenagers would most certainly be grateful for any proven technique to get their kids to talk.
As an investigator and someone who presents investigative trainings, I am always looking for insights about interviewing. I’ve talked with my colleagues and my friends in journalism about their approaches and techniques. I’ve read Malcolm Gladwell’s book Talking to Strangers. I’ve attended trainings on the impacts of trauma on people and learned trauma-informed approaches to interviews.
I had mined all of the obvious sources. Then I stumbled on a gem when I wasn’t really looking for it.
The essay “Witnessing Hope,” by Stephanie Powell Watts, contained a beautifully written passage about this. Included in Well-Read Black Girl, an anthology of essays by Black female writers, Watts wrote about her past going door to door in rural North Carolina as a Jehovah’s Witness. She described herself as “a listening stranger” standing at peoples’ doors initiating conversations that quickly moved past pleasantries and into deeper territory. She wrote of giving people:
…a space just big enough for a story to leak through. So they told it. The relief of not having to harbor the story anymore showed like a lightness, a brightness on their faces.
Watts then shared a truth that many experienced investigators have learned along the way:
People are desperate to explain themselves, reveal themselves, and have another person take testimony of their experiences.
Watts’s observation was not complicated and did not involve any special tools or parlor tricks. Show up, be engaged, don’t talk very much. Be “a listening stranger.” It was that simple, and that difficult to master. Watts’s point about giving “a space just big enough for a story to leak through” takes practice and focused effort to pull off.
Similar advice can be found in Hamilton, when Aaron Burr advises Alexander Hamilton to “talk less” and “smile more” and “don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for.”
No need for me to say more.
Cathleen Watkins, a senior investigator at PII, has interviewed hundreds of people over the past 20 years. These interviews have often focused on difficult experiences that people had at work, at school, or in some aspect of their lives. Watkins is also a trainer and project director at T9 Mastered, an affiliate of PII that provides training to Title IX professionals.

Duration of Ventilations During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation by Lay-Rescuers and First Responders: Relationship Between Delivering Chest Compressions and Outcomes
Do interruptions in chest compressions for ventilation affect outcomes in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)?
Data on CPR in 199 patients (mean age 66 years) with OHCA were collected in a prospective database in the Netherlands, and correlated with neurologically intact survival to hospital discharge. Chest compression data were recorded by automatic external defibrillators.
The chest compression rate was slower than the recommended minimum rate of 100 bpm in 19% of patients and faster than the recommended maximum rate of 120 bpm in 23% of patients. The median chest compression fraction was 65%. The median interruption time for two ventilations was 7 seconds, with no significant difference between dispatched first-responders and lay bystanders. Survival to hospital discharge was 25%. The duration of ventilation-related pauses during chest compressions was not an independent predictor of survival.
The authors concluded that interruptions in chest compression for ventilation have a neutral effect on survival in patients undergoing CPR for OHCA.
The excellent performance of lay rescuers in this study reflects the quality of CPR training of the public in the Netherlands. Although ventilation-related pauses in chest compression did not correlate with survival in this study, it is noteworthy that the pauses were relatively brief, with only 17% of rescuers taking >10 seconds to deliver two ventilations. It is likely that ventilation-related pauses for lay bystanders in the United States are significantly longer. This has provided one of the arguments in favor of compression-only CPR by bystanders.

CLEARFIELD — Clearfield point guard Jordan Hanson had to deal with a lot of begging and pleading on Tuesday night.
His team's opponent, the Weber Warriors, were practically begging him — or any other Clearfield player — to knock down some shots from the outside as they packed their defense near the basket. Hanson also had to deal with some pleading from his coaches, who wanted him to use his shooting touch to help down the Warriors.
He answered both.
Hanson scored nine of his 15 points in the third quarter to help the Falcons pull away and defeat Weber 54-44. It was a key league win for Clearfield, which improved to 7-3 in Region 1 and remained within striking distance of second-place Viewmont. The Warriors dropped to 5-5 and into fourth place.
Weber trimmed a game-long deficit to 22-20 early in the third quarter. That's when Hanson took over, as he scored from midrange and converted a three-point play. He nearly accounted for all of Clearfield's points in the quarter, as he scored nine and assisted on a basket by Cameron Evans.
"Jordan was huge for us tonight," said Falcons coach Curtis Hulse. "We've encouraged him to be more aggressive on offense. He's such a pass-first guy. We need his scoring. The kid can shoot the ball. He really did bail us out."
Hanson said he was just doing his job better after what he termed a couple of "off games."
"We needed someone to step up and be a leader," Hanson said. "As a point guard, that's kind of your job."
Early in the game, Weber focused its defensive game plan around stopping Clearfield big men Evans and Nick Thompson. It worked in the first half, as the two players combined for just nine points.
But Hanson's third quarter shooting loosened up the Warriors' defense, and the Falcons were able to get their chances near the basket. Thompson scored 13 of his game-high 18 points in the fourth quarter, and Evans had 13 points and seven rebounds.
"It helps having a guy on the perimeter that can score," Hulse said. "There were times when Weber wouldn't even come outside and guard our guards. You need a guy who can draw the defense outside."
When that happens, Clearfield is mighty tough, as Weber learned on Tuesday. Thompson, a Weber State recruit, is athletic and talented. Evans has been Clearfield's most consistent player, averaging a double-double in league games.
"Cam's been our best player all year," Hulse said. "He's a hard worker . . . just a real good kid."
Clearfield shot 58 percent from the field against Weber. Thompson was 6-for-7, Hanson was 6-for-8 and Evans was 6-for-10.
Jake Hillstrom scored all of his team-high 13 points for Weber in the second half.

This begins with a beautifully decorated door. Whether you simply hang a traditional holiday wreath or go over the top with ribbons, garland and tree lights, a festively adorned door is oftentimes the centerpiece of all outdoor holiday dcor.

Here you will find everything you need to create an unforgettable outdoor space, from the hottest Christmas door decorating ideas and pictures, to diy wreath making tips and everything in between. In no time at all you can build a fabulously festive Christmas style sure to win any door decorating contest.
Create a fabulous decked-out front door to greet friends and family this Christmas season. Great holiday entrance design does not stop at festively adorned Christmas doors. Fill your entire entryway with the holiday spirit by decorating all elements, from decorative plants to light fixtures and everything in between. You can even flank the door with mini Christmas trees to make a bold and festive statement. An easy way to take curbside holiday dcor to the next level is by trimming the entry in Christmas door swags. These can be anything from elegant natural garland to inexpensive and whimsical decorative mesh. Add Christmas lights amongst the swags to create a beautiful soft glow at night and highlight additional trimmings such as ornaments, berries or ribbon bows. Wonderful pre-decorated garland can be found at nearly all Christmas stores, and offer a great time saver if you are in a hurry. Finally, top off your design with jolly Christmas door mats.
The simplest and most popular form of Christmas door decorating for any season are holiday wreaths. These versatile decorative accents are available in an endless variety of styles, shapes, materials, color palettes, and motifs perfect to fit any design scheme. There are a few key door decorating items to remember when selecting which Christmas wreath ideas to bring to your home. First, consider shape and scale. As with any other home dcor project it is important to keep in mind the size of your space when selecting accent pieces. Large wreaths will dwarf a small door, while smaller varieties may look out of place in grand entranceways. Next identify your holiday dcor theme, and translate that style to Christmas door wreathes to achieve a cohesive look. For example, establish a traditional look by selecting a classic red berry wreath or those adorned with elegant ribbon and ornaments. On the other hand, if you prefer a more imaginative style, whimsical mesh wreaths are a fabulous option. As always, remember to incorporate custom elements that make the door decorations all your own.
Creating unforgettable Christmas decorations for doors does not require you to drain that holiday fund. It is very simple to design fabulous budget-friendly dcor that will have friends and family believing you hired a professional decorator. A great way to create door decorations without straining your wallet is homemade Christmas door wreaths. Rather than spending hundreds on those beautiful ornate wreaths found at the Christmas store, purchase bare greenery from any craft store and embellish it yourself. Trim the xmas door wreath with anything from beautiful ribbons and seasonal floral, to whimsical ornaments and unique holiday baubles. This also gives you the ability to perfectly coordinate all seasonal dcor as well as add fabulous personalized elements. If you do not feel confident crafting your own holiday accents, simply purchase inexpensive Christmas door covers. You can even make your own by wrapping the entry in decorative foil or holiday door paper. This is a fabulous idea for decking out dorm rooms or creating simple classroom door decorations.
One of the hottest Christmas dcor trends for 2022 is incorporating unique customized elements into traditional dcor such as family monograms, favorite ornaments or custom painted banners. Adding store-bought personalized elements can get expensive, however you can easily recreate those great decorative accents yourself at a fraction of the cost. For example, trim your front door wreathes in hand-painted Christmas tree ornaments or cheap wooden cutouts decorated with your name or monogram. Custom-made designs like these often cost hundreds of dollars but can easily be recreated for under $10. Next, mount your new one-of-a-kind wreath with Christmas door hangers painted with your last name, favorite bible verse or welcoming holiday greeting. You can even fill miniature weatherproof frames with Christmas pictures and nestle them amongst the branches of wreaths or garland. Guests will be raving about your dcor all holiday season long.

The United States of America, due to its sheer size, population and economy, is home for numerous wealthiest individuals in the world. And why won’t it be? It’s one of the most powerful countries in the world, and it’s also among the fastest-growing nations.
However, despite all the glitz and glamour that resides within Uncle Sam’s motherland, it’s not the richest country in the world, especially if you compare the average amount of wealth per adult. That top spot goes to Switzerland, with the second place secured by Australia.
Why Switzerland and not Australia?
Well, for one thing, the report by Credit Suisse divides a country’s overall wealth by its population, and in that regard, Switzerland comes first in the list. However, if we were to take a look at the countries where the greatest number of people are really well-off, Australia easily tops the list, with an amount of $191,453 median wealth per adult.
For comparison, the U.S. has a median wealth of $61,667 per adult, putting the country somewhere around number 18 in the list. There’s also Canada with $106,342 and Japan with $103,861, at No. 6 and No. 7, respectively.
This means that even though America has richer people, the average Aussie has more money in the bank and owns more assets.
The richest people in the world
The report states that “household wealth in Australia grew at a fast pace between 2000 and 2012 in US dollar terms, except for a short interruption in 2008. The exchange-rate effect first went into reverse for three years after 2012 and, like other resource rich countries, Australia was badly hit by sagging commodity prices.”
Despite the slowdown, however, Australia’s wealth per adult, which mostly comes from non-financial assets, is the second highest in the world, with the country topping the list when it comes to median wealth.
“The high level of real assets partly reflects a large endowment of land and natural resources relative to population, but also results from high property prices in the largest cities. While financial assets are just four percent of total assets, they are also high on average, in part reflecting Australia’s mandatory superannuation system, which generates strong pension wealth,” the report states.
The latest findings given by the report show that the world was much wealthier in the past, yet it also reveals that the land down under has more in store, literally than what people normally surmise it to be.

What Salesforce’s Purchase of Slack Means for End Users
with Heinan Landa | Optimal Networks, Inc.
CRM leader Salesforce is set to acquire collaboration and communication solution Slack, with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff stating that the two “will shape the future of enterprise software and transform the way everyone works in the all-digital, work-from-anywhere world.”
Will they? What are the enterprise software world’s first impressions of this mega deal, and how will it reshape the industry moving forward?
Optimal Networks, Inc. Founder and CEO Heinan Landa joined Voice of B2B Daniel Litwin to explore those impressions and more, analyzing the potential impact of what Landa called “one of the most amazing things to hit the marketplace in a long time.”
“People need the software. It’s cloud-based software, and it’s software they can use from anywhere to take care of their clients better,” Landa said. “Think about that in context [during the pandemic]. … These tools have become incredibly powerful.”
It also represents more competition in the marketplace with juggernauts like Microsoft, particularly in the realm of collaboration tools and cloud-based software. Office 365 has dominated the landscape, but Salesforce may be emerging as an enterprise contender.

Thinking About Investigating Animal Cruelty? You Could Be Charged for it
What’s the best way to quash undercover animal cruelty investigators? Sure, “ag gag” laws work pretty well, but what if you’re in a state that hasn’t enacted one? No problem. Do what they just did in Colorado — charge the animal activist with the same cruelty she just uncovered and reported to police.
Surprised? You should be outraged.
This is exactly what’s going on in Weld County, Colo. On Nov. 13, Compassion Over Killing released heartbreaking video footage shot by undercover investigator Taylor Radig. Radig spent three months working inside the Quanah Cattle Co. in Kersey, Colo., in mid-2013 to try to document abuse. Quanah is in the business of buying newborn calves from dairy operations, holding them in veal bins onsite for a week or so, and then sending them off to be slaughtered for veal or raised for beef.
What Radig witnessed and managed to capture on video was the incredibly inhumane treatment of days-old dairy calves as they were moved in and out of this facility. Radig’s video shows Quanah workers dragging very young calves by their legs on and off trucks, pulling them by their ears, lifting them off the ground by their tails, kicking them, throwing them, slamming them down and flipping them. See it happen for yourself in COK’s video:
“If this facility had been a slaughter plant, the USDA would have shut them down,” said Dr. Temple Grandin, farmed animal handling expert, after reviewing COK’s video. It’s compelling evidence, and it resulted in charges against three Quanah workers within two days of the video’s public release.
However, Weld County Sheriff John Cooke — reportedly a 20-year veteran of the dairy industry before his law enforcement career — didn’t stop there. Despite Radig’s cooperation in bringing this abuse to local authorities’ attention, she found herself charged right along with the three Quanah workers for the same Class 1 misdemeanor offense. Clearly, someone was not pleased that this undercover work had been done so well.
What Does Colorado‘s Animal Cruelty Law Actually Say?
A review of these sections of Colorado’s law shows that a person is guilty of cruelty to animals if:
he or she knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence overdrives, overloads, overworks, torments, deprives of necessary sustenance, unnecessarily or cruelly beats, allows to be housed in a manner that results in chronic or repeated serious physical harm, carries or confines in or upon any vehicles in a cruel or reckless manner, engages in a sexual act with an animal, or otherwise mistreats or neglects any animal, or causes or procures it to be done, or, having the charge or custody of any animal, fails to provide it with proper food, drink, or protection from the weather consistent with the species, breed, and type of animal involved, or abandons an animal.
Colorado, please explain which part of this definition fits Taylor Radig’s actions? It is not, shall we say, obvious.
Perhaps the support for this charge comes from a somewhat tortured interpretation of the Section 18-9-201(3) definition of the term “mistreatment.” Mistreatment includes “every act or omission that causes or unreasonably permits the continuation of unnecessary or unjustifiable pain or suffering.” Is that it, Weld County? Really, is that all you’ve got?
It’s odd, then, to note that Colorado law also provides immunity in Section 18-9-209 from civil liability to anyone who, in good faith, reports suspected animal cruelty to local law enforcement.
According to the sheriff’s press release, ”The video footage was eventually provided to law enforcement by representatives of Compassion Over Killing approximately 2 months after Radig’s employment ended with Quanah Cattle Company.” However, “Radig’s failure to report the alleged abuse of the animals in a timely manner adheres to the definition of acting with negligence and substantiates the charge Animal Cruelty.”
No time limit is associated with reporting animal cruelty in Section 18-9-209, by the way.
The Possible Motive for Charging a Whistleblower with the Crime She Revealed
Cattle are big business in Colorado. There are more than 2.6 million head of cattle in the state, making this one of Colorado’s largest industries. Anything that gives this industry a black eye, causes costs to rise, or drives customers to flee are of great concern.
Understanding this reality means there’s likely no reasonable explanation for this turn of events, save one. Weld County wants to send a message to undercover animal welfare investigators: You and your agitating ways are not welcome here. Colorado may not have an “ag gag” law yet to prohibit what Taylor Radig did, but apparently with this maneuver authorities there don’t especially need one.
Compassion Over Killing executive director Erica Meier calls the charges against Radig “unsupported by the law.” She says this is a “shoot-the-messenger strategy aimed at detracting attention away from the crimes of those who actually abused animals.”
The Inevitable Chilling Effect
Presumably the Weld County Sheriff’s Office has the ability to understand the harmful effect it will cause by pursuing a whistleblower for investigating wrongdoing? Surely law enforcement understands the need to assemble evidence of a pattern of abusive activity in a way that allows criminal prosecution, where appropriate?
The chilling effect of this unprecedented action on those who might come forward with proof of abuse (undercover or not) is incalculable. Under this rationale, no one in Colorado has any way to understand whether the abuse information they want to bring forward is “too old” to safely report.
It’s a cagey move by those who apparently want to protect agribusiness interests in Colorado much more than they want to ensure decent treatment of farmed animals.
Come on, Weld County. Based on what you’ve told us so far, this legal maneuver is nothing short of ridiculous. Drop the charges against Taylor Radig. She’s the hero here. Don’t add Colorado law enforcement personnel to the list of villains in this story.
Care2 readers, if you‘d like to let the Weld County Sheriff know that you object to what‘s happening to Taylor Radig, sign this petition. We‘ll make sure it gets to Sheriff John Cooke so he‘ll know how you feel about what his office is doing.
