NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FEDERAL LAWYERS
Last Updated on: 12th September 2023, 06:06 pm
Anaheim PPP Loan Fraud
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was created in 2020 to provide small businesses with loans to help them through the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the hastily rolled out program was rife with fraud. Anaheim, California saw several high profile cases of PPP loan fraud over the past couple years.
One of the most notorious cases was a scheme run by a luxury car dealer in Anaheim. The dealer, who runs a business selling high-end cars like Bentleys and Lamborghinis, managed to obtain over $5 million in PPP loans. He claimed the money was to support over 400 employees. In reality, he only had about 15 employees according to records. So where did that $5 million go? Prosecutors allege he used it to buy himself luxury homes, vacations, and a Ferrari among other lavish personal purchases. Pretty bold to use emergency small business loans to buy yourself a Ferrari!
Another crazy case was a man who applied for PPP loans using the names of random people and businesses he found online. He submitted like 50 different applications and managed to get $2 million in loans, which he promptly spent on himself. Dude bought himself a Maserati, Rolexes, and went on fancy vacations. Not exactly what the taxpayers had in mind when they funded PPP to help real small businesses in need!
Some other scandals included a guy who got loans claiming to run businesses that didn’t even exist. There was no record of the companies he listed, but he still managed to get hundreds of thousands of dollars, which of course he pocketed. Another person applied using the name of their dead relative – pretty morbid way to steal emergency funds meant for struggling companies.
One of the reasons so much fraud occurred was because the loans were rushed out quickly with minimal oversight. The government waived a lot of standard verification requirements in an effort to get money to applicants faster. So people took advantage of the limited scrutiny and loosened standards.
The Small Business Administration’s Inspector General estimated that over $80 billion in PPP funds, or around 10% of the total, was obtained fraudulently. And those are just the cases we know about – the real number could be even higher!
PPP loan fraud carries serious penalties. Federal prosecutors have been aggressive about charging people who abused the program. Defendants are facing felony fraud charges which can mean massive fines and years in prison. It’s unlikely any fraudsters will get to keep their fancy cars and luxury homes once the feds catch up to them.
While PPP unquestionably helped many legitimate small businesses, the rampant fraud was an unfortunate side effect. Lawmakers had to balance getting emergency aid out quickly with proper oversight. And it seems in their haste, they erred too far on the fast and loose side.
Going forward, the government needs to learn from this experience. When responding to a crisis and distributing billions in taxpayer funds, sufficient fraud prevention measures must be in place from the start. Although speed is important in an emergency, accountability and transparency matter too.
The PPP debacle also highlights weaknesses in the SBA’s standard approval procedures. If scammers could so easily exploit the COVID-19 relief programs, that suggests the agency’s regular small business loan processes likely need strengthening as well. Tighter validation protocols would help prevent fraud not only in future emergency initiatives, but also in the SBA’s day-to-day lending activities.
At the same time, we don’t want requirements to be so onerous that they deter legitimate borrowers. There’s a balance to be struck between diligent fraud detection and not making access to capital overly burdensome for honest business owners in need.
The pandemic unexpectedly forced the government to very quickly stand up large-scale emergency relief systems. So it’s understandable some mistakes were made amidst the rushed and chaotic response. But federal agencies must learn from this experience and be better prepared for any future crisis situations.
And prosecutors will keep working to hold PPP fraudsters accountable and recover funds stolen from programs meant to help deserving small business owners survive an economic catastrophe. The feds are sending a clear message that abusing emergency aid will not be tolerated.
While the vast majority of PPP borrowers used the loans properly and ethically, the minority who saw it as an opportunity to enrich themselves have tarnished the program’s legacy. Anaheim and communities across America are still dealing with the fallout from those who betrayed public trust and greedily exploited funds intended to help legitimate businesses and their employees get through difficult times.

Texas DPS Confirms Gunman Entered School Through Apparently Unlocked Door, No Police Officer Present
An official with the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed Thursday that there was no school police officer present when a gunman arrived at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
A shooter killed 19 young children and two teachers on Tuesday in the horrific incident in the small Texas city.
DPS South Texas Regional Director Victor Escalon told reporters that the 18-year-old, now-deceased, shooter gained access into the school through an apparently unlocked door on the west side of the building at 11:40 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
"It was reported that a school district police officer confronted the suspect that was making entry. Not accurate. He walked in unobstructed initially," Escalon said.
There was no school police officer in the area.
BREAKING: Texas DPS now says that there was no school police officer who encountered or engaged the mass shooter at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX. Shooter was not confronted before entry and it appears he walked into the school through an unlocked door, per DPS. @FoxNews
— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) May 26, 2022
Escalon recounted, based on surveillance video footage, that the gunman discharged multiple rounds soon after entering the school.
At 11:44 a.m. local and school police made entry, Escalon said, and they took fire from the shooter, who had gone into one of the classrooms.
The officers moved back and took cover and called for backup and additional resources.
Law enforcement began evacuating students and teachers from the building.
Approximately an hour after the shooter came into the school, a U.S. Border Patrol tactical team arrived on the scene and forced entry into the classroom where the suspect was holed up and shot and killed him.
A Zavala County deputy and a Uvalde police officer participated in the breach of the classroom, Escalon said.
Andrew Pollack -- the father of Meadow Pollack, who was murdered in the 2018 Parkland, Florida, high school shooting -- said he was “so angry” after learning of Tuesday’s elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, because it could have been prevented.
The Floridian offered a three-point plan to make schools safer: have an armed guard, a single point of entry and teacher training.
-Single point of entry
We send out $Billions to other countries all the time. Why not fund school safety in America?
— Andrew Pollack (@AndrewPollackFL) May 25, 2022
At least two of his three recommendations were not followed. There was not a single, controlled point of entry, and no armed guard nor police officer was present.
“Even a single point of entry would have prevented it. … This didn’t have to happen today,” Pollack told Fox News host Laura Ingraham Tuesday night.
“It’s the parents. It’s your responsibility where you send your children to school,” Pollack said.
He exhorted parents to go to their kids’ schools and make sure the proper safety measures are in place.

Rafael Nadal can now deem his comeback complete as he beat old rival and current world number 2 Roger Federer in straight sets to advance to the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open. Meeting each other at this relatively early stage is unfamiliar territory for the duo who have competed in epic Grand Slam finals against each other, but the quarter final tie was Nadal’s biggest challenge since he made his comeback from a serious knee injury that had seen him sidelined for almost 8 months until early last month when he started gingerly.
But the Spaniard showed signs of his imperious regality as he swept aside the Swiss maestro 6-4 6-2 within an hour and 25 minutes. A resurgent Nadal has extended his impressive head to head record against Federer and the stats now stand at 18 wins and 11 losses for Rafa. Nadal will now take on world number 6 Berdych who beat Anderson 6-4 6-4 to get set up the match. The other side of the draw is getting intriguingly exciting as well.

Each year the Office for National Statistics publishes the Lifestyle Survey, a report which details the habits of adults in the UK.
After analysing the 2009 survey, researchers found that the average weekly consumption for managers was 13.5 units compared with 10.7 units for those in manual jobs.
Though current recommendations state that men should not exceed three to four units and women should not exceed two to three, around 41 per cent of male managers and 35 per cent of females managers exceeded these recommendations on at least one day in the week before taking part in the survey.
Individuals were also asked about heavy drinking (more than eight units for men and six for women), and found that 23 per cent of men and 15 per cent of women in managerial households had consumed this amount of alcohol on at least one day in the week before the survey.
Chief Executive of the charity Drinkaware, Chris Sorek has said that heavy drinking among professionals has now become a cultural problem. “While there continues to be a strong culture of drinking as part of professional roles it’s not surprising to see managers drinking more than manual workers. Meetings and get-togethers are all situations where professionals may feel under pressure to drink. We also know many de-stress with a drink at home after a long working day.” He said.
If you are concerned about the level of alcohol you are consuming on a regular basis than it is important you visit your GP who will be able to provide you with professional advice. An avenue which is recommended to many is that of counselling, which has been used as a method of dealing with alcohol dependency for many years. If you would like to find out more about how how counselling for alcohol dependency could benefit you then please refer to our online fact-sheet.

Raptors 905 will continue their quest to bring a championship to Mississauga on Sunday, when they tip off for their D-League Finals series against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
From there, the 905 return home for Game 2 at Hershey Centre on Tuesday and, if necessary, a deciding Game 3 on Thursday.
Game 1: Raptors 905 @ Rio Grande Valley Vipers – Sunday, April 23, 8pm, ESPNU/Facebook Live
Game 2: Rio Grande Valley Vipers @ Raptors 905 – Tuesday, April 25, 7pm, ESPNU/Facebook Live
Game 3*: Rio Grande Valley Vipers @ Raptors 905 – Thursday, April 27, 7pm, ESPNU/Facebook Live
* – if necessary
The big thing to note here is that the deciding Game 3, if necessary, would go up against Raptors-Bucks Game 6, which is all kinda of frustrating for those who root for both the parent and junior club. The 905 have wrapped up each of their series in two games so far, but Rio provides a tough test, and fans will be split between a pair of elimination games if the 905 need to go the distance. Rio fans can’t be much happier, as the Rockets and Thunder could also play that same night if the series isn’t wrapped by then. (I’m sure most fans will choose Raptors, which stinks for the 905 – their crowd for Game 2 of the East Finals on Wednesday was only half of its earlier playoff crowd because it overlapped with the Maple Leafs, so I can only imagine the impact of a Raptors overlap.)
As a side-note, these games will likely be aired on Facebook Live in Canada, as ESPNU games have been previously. UPDATE: They’ll be on Facebook Live.
We’ll have a full preview of the series sometime between now and Sunday morning.
Raptors Republic readers can get discounted 905 playoff tickets by using the promo code REPUBLIC905.

Somewhere along the line recently we lost our way with food. Tiredness is my main excuse but, if I’m honest, it was more a mixture of laziness and feeling overwhelmed with life in general. By the time 5pm rolled around each day I was so over the relentless job of mothering that it was all I could do to rustle up some pasta and pesto, let alone cook anything mildly exciting. However, that’s all changed over the past couple of months. Let me tell you why.
Back at the end of January I shared some shocking findings from the Organix Taste Report which really made me stop and question some of the food choices we were making as a family. Convenience foods that I would often buy as a solution to getting tea on the table while two “hangry” kids shouted at me were, I realised, not doing any of us any favours. Although I’d always go for the foods that claimed to be “nutritious” or “100% chicken” or “full of goodness”, a quick look at the labels revealed that much of these products contained engineered ingredients which weren’t as glowingly healthy as they claimed to be.
I’m not going to lie and pretend that I never feed my kids fishfingers. But what I will do is tell you how I’ve managed to cut back on some of the artificial flavours, refined sugar and general junk that we’ve all been eating as a family, to make way for more fruit and veg, good quality meat and properly nutritious meals. And all of this has been with two kids who are sometimes prone to pickiness, an awareness that we don’t want our shopping bill to rocket through the roof, and a large dose of creativity to work out quick ways to get food on the table without cutting corners on the health front.
We found we were spending quite a bit on multiple trips to the supermarket each week. We’d do a big shop, but then run out of stuff halfway through the week, so the NLM would “pop in” on his way home from work. And then, when he was at his weakest (i.e. most tired and hungry) he’d pick up a family sized bag of crisps, some chocolate and a couple of beers, to go with the (non juicy) tomatoes and loaf of bread that we actually needed.
We’ve made a concerted effort to cut out these mid-week supermarket trips recently. Instead of buying all our meat and veg from the supermarket, I do a weekly trip to our local butchers and grocers to buy free range, locally-reared meat and seasonal, locally grown veg. We’ve noticed that shopping this way can save us money AND mean we eat more healthily.
Eat in season
Have you ever noticed that half the fruit and veg you buy from the supermarket goes off really quickly? Or it doesn’t have that flavour and texture that you know and love? For example, tomatoes are like little hard bullets of mushy rubber, rather than the juicy, soft and sweet things that they should be. This is often because, as a nation, we no longer eat in season. We’ve become so used to convenience culture and detached from eating fruit and veg when it’s meant to be eaten, that we often end up compromising on taste.
My parents both have a large fruit and vegetable garden and are keen gardeners, so we’re lucky in that we get a lot of really great, homegrown produce for free. But we also have a little veg patch of our own that the girls love to help tend. It means they get to learn about where food comes from, we save money, we eat produce that’s in season AND we maximise on taste. Eating this way is a win win for everyone.
Monday through to Thursday, we eat all our evening meals together. And on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (when Baby Girl is at home with me) I eat my lunch with my 17 month old. This means that we always eat the same meals and we get to chat about our day too. On a Friday and Saturday evening, the NLM and I have our “treat nights”, when we’ll cook something the kids are bound not to like (washed down with wine or beer, inevitably). A spicy curry, for example, or a takeaway on pay day. Enjoying this type of stuff in moderation makes it all the better when we do splash out. And it also means I don’t resent eating at 5pm every day in the week.
Granted, eating healthily can sometimes take a bit of extra planning, but with the right organisation it doesn’t have to be a total bore. I’ve dusted off the slow cooker again recently and made some really tasty meals in record time. We either prep the food the night before and chuck it in the slow cooker, or I throw a few things in the slow cooker first thing in the morning or when Baby Girl goes down for her afternoon nap. Things we’ve been loving recently from the slow cooker are a variation on the Italian Hunter’s Chicken (Pollo Alla Cacciatora) served with pasta, and pulled pork with homemade coleslaw and roasted corn on the cob. With the chicken, the trick is to roll the pieces in flour and quickly fry it in a little olive oil before you put it in the cooker (I use fresh tomatoes and add celery and carrots to my recipe, along with a glug of balsamic vinegar and a healthy sprinkle of basil).
Tell me, what are you go-to healthy family meal ideas? I’d love to find some more for our growing repertoire!
Throughout this year I’ll be working with Organix and sharing how we’re getting on with our #NoJunkJourney. If you’re looking for ways to cut the junk and improve your diet as a family there’s a whole load of support, advice and inspiration on the Organix website here.

Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Hello again,Thank you for the additional information. Although I don't see where you answered my question about being in a union, I will assume that you are not in a union. If you are, please reply by clicking the reply button and informing me of that, because it could make a difference in my answer. In any event, it is legal for a supervisor or employer to correct a timesheet to reflect that actual hours worked, or some other administrative error, without consulting an employee. However, the employer may not do so with the intent to take away hours that were actually worked by the employee. In that case, if the employee is not paid correctly, and the employer refuses to correct their error, then the employee could file a wage complaint with the State for the money they are owed, or file a small claims court suit. But just to be clear, the employer does not have to consult the employee, but if they make an error they must fix it and pay the employee properly. If they made the change on purpose in order for the employee not to be paid properly, then the employee can file a wage complaint. Please let me know if you need any clarification. I would be glad to assist you further if I can.

LINCOLN - Maybe it's the COVID or maybe it's Mondays, but if you like skiing the pristine cords of an open cruiser from mountaintop to bottom Loon Mountain may become your skiing mecca.
How this mountain evaded my skiing synopses for 50 years is beyond me. I guess it's because growing up my family always gravitated farther north up Route 16 for their winter getaways, and I just carried on the tradition.
Breaking that pattern was a distinct pleasure.
|PICTURE PERFECT: Looking out from Upper Bear Claw on a gorgeous summit view|
First off, Loon is a bigtime mountain ski area with a small mountain feel which makes you feel right at home right away.
The base footprint is tight, so everything is close, from the rental shop to that first ride up the Kancamagus quad or the Kissin' Cousin double close by.
From experienced novice to expert you can be confident riding the gondola to the top of the mountain; the ski area has plenty of wide open cruisers you can spend your time with as you amble down taking in the spectacular White Mountain National Forest views.
In all they boast 61 trails with 48 open on Monday and Tuesday when I skied.
|Folks take a midmorning break for coffee on a sunny day at Loon base lodge|
I must confess I spied several comfortable cruisers on the east side my first morning and just hung out there for two days taking either the gondola to Loon Peak or the Kancamagus quad, which goes a little over halfway to the top.
It should be noted that there are plenty of options here for all abilities, with 60 percent of the trails intermediate, 20 percent expert and 20 percent novice.
It didn't take long to be impressed with a couple of things: first that the trail signage here is impressive, with plenty of indicators of "more difficult" spur trails as you amble down the mountain at your own pace.
There's also multiple "family skiing" sections mid-mountain where yellow banners strung across wide packed powder slopes urge advanced skiers to remain cautious.
|THERE IS A SKI SEASON TURN TURN: Heading down Exodus just below Loon peak|
Wanting to stay off anything too challenging I stayed off the North Peak where there are plenty of black diamonds and no novice outlets.
The trails I did come to enjoy included Exodus, with its wide sweeping turns, and Upper Bear Claw and Lower Bear Claw, which bring you right back to the gondola.
From the top of the Kanc quad I jumped on the Grand Junction that turned left on the Lower Picked Rock - which wasn't too rocky (intermediate) - to get back to the main lodge whenever I wanted a snack.
Even in early afternoon when the crowds began to thicken it rarely took more than 10 minutes in a lift line to head back up the mountain. And with COVID rules in place, that was with just one person to each gondola, quad or double unless you were a family member. By the way all the way till noon I never waited more than a minute or two.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Kern is one of seven counties selected for a study to determine how many Californians have antibodies against COVID-19.
The study will ask an adult and a child in randomly selected households to complete an anonymous survey and free at-home antibody test for the virus that causes COVID, public health officials said. Questions about risk factors will be asked in the survey.
Residents will receive a $20 gift card for each online survey completed, up to two people per household. Additionally, they’ll receive a $20 gift card for test kits received from each household. Up to $80 can be received by each household.
“By looking for antibodies, we can estimate the number of people who have antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19,” officials said in a release. “This will help us understand how many people in Kern County may have been infected with COVID-19 or vaccinated up to this point. Combined with information from the other selected counties, it will help provide an estimate for the State of California.”

Cry for justice as motorist killed by Marimba Sacco touts is laid to rest
12 months ago, 3 Jan 20:37
Former presidential contender Ekuru Aukot and Kiambu MP Paul Koinange have vowed to bring Joseph Kiarie killers to book. The former Maseno University student leader died after he was assaulted by Marimba Sacco touts at Zimmerman in Nairobi after an accident on December 24. Aukot and Koinange accused the police of frustrating efforts to get justice for Kiarie following their failure to apprehend the culprits days after the incident. They spoke when they joined hundreds of mourners for Kiarie’s burial at their rural home in Komo village, Thika East on Wednesday. Aukot claimed that senior police officers own vehicles operating under the said sacco hence the slackness in apprehending the culprits. "I will assist the family through my law firm to get justice for Joseph. We must condemn this heinous act and ensure the suspects are jailed." He said the situation of senior police officers owning PSVs amounts to conflict of interest since it is unlikely for them to punish the same vehicles whenever they violate the law. "The issue of most vehicles on the Kenyan roads being owned by senior police officers has led to increased indiscipline by their crews." "People are getting away with these murder cases because the vehicles they operate with are owned by police bosses in the country," Aukot said. Related: "Law enforcers should be barred from owning and operating PSVs so that the insanity currently being witnessed in the country can end," he added. "Furthermore, those behind the murders disguised as accidents should be apprehended and jailed." Aukot asked the Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet to take up the matter and ensure Kiarie's killers are arrested. Koinange said that he will ensure that all matatu drivers and touts are cleared by the DCI before they are allowed to operate. "We must change the way people are licensed to work in the matatu industry so that we tame murderers who have infiltrated the sector." The MP, who is the chairman of the parliamentary Committee on Administration and National Security, said it is time the country re-looked into the matatu industry. "It is unacceptable at this age for a country to lose over 2,500 lives on the roads. All stakeholders in the industry must come together and reason together so as to end the carnages." Koinange said Kiarie’s murder will not go unpunished adding that God will unleash his wrath on the perpetrators. Friends and relatives eulogised the late as visionary man whose passion and dream of eradicating poverty and creating jobs for the youth in the region remained a top priority. Kiarie was in the process of opening up a water packaging firm worth Sh3 million. Anthony Koinange, his brother, said they had started installing equipment at the plant before Kiarie's death. They called on the police to stop covering up the murder and instead expedite investigations and bring the culprits to book.

Motorola wins German patent case ruling vs Apple
Motorola Mobility won a preliminary injunction against Apple Inc in Germany, which could bar the sales of iPhones and iPads in the country.
A regional German court in Mannheim ruled on Friday that Apple Sales International -- European sales subsidiary of Apple in Cork, Ireland -- must stop selling or distributing mobile devices that infringe certain Motorola patents.
The ruling, which relates to cellular communications patents, could bar the sales of all Apple products that use the patents such as iPhone 4 and iPad 3G, Germany-based patent expert Florian Mueller said.
"The ruling targets Apple's European sales organization but relates only to that entity's sale to German customers," Mueller added.
Motorola Mobility said it has been negotiating with Apple and offering the company "reasonable licensing terms and conditions since 2007."


Prior to reading the linked article all I knew about Line was that it was another messaging app. At least that’s what I thought I knew.
This article at Fast Company quickly changed my mind about the service because unlike Whatsapp and Twitter there seems to be something really remarkable going on behind Line.
Less than four years after Line’s launch, the company says that more than 560 million people worldwide have registered as members, the majority of them in Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand. One hundred eighty one million users log in to the Line app each month. While that’s a smaller user base than WhatsApp (700 million monthly active users according to research firm Canalys), Facebook Messenger (500 million), and Tencent’s WeChat (480 million), Line has done a remarkable job of turning its popularity into a growing, diversified business.
Its reported revenue of $656 million in 2014 comes from a range of sources that few rivals can match: It sells games that can be played solo or with other Line users; those digital stickers, which can be purchased to express a dizzying array of emotions; marketing deals with brands and celebrities that want to reach its user base; and merchandise such as the products at the Harajuku shop. Meanwhile, Facebook has yet to spell out how it intends to make money from Messenger or WhatsApp, which it purchased last year for a history-making $22 billion.
It’s funny when you look back and there were all these apps that first came out in 2009 and 2011 like Whatsapp and Line and they all just seemed so one dimensional, so about doing just ONE thing and now we find out that each is worth millions and billions of dollars! The app sphere is really quite a peculiar and competitive market.

The Astonishing Communication Networks of Dolphins
Dolphins have long captured human imagination with their intelligence and playfulness. Yet, it is their communication that truly sets them apart. Dolphins communicate using a complex mix of clicks, whistles, body movements, and even touch to express everything from basic needs to more intricate social interactions. The astonishing communication networks dolphins possess are not just fascinating but also offer promising insights into animal behavior and cognition. This article delves deep into this subject shedding light on how these marine mammals connect in ways far beyond our understanding.
Understanding Dolphin Communication
The phenomenon of 'dolphin communication' is indeed fascinating, exhibiting the advanced capabilities of these marine mammals. At the core of this communication is the use of 'sound frequencies', which not only facilitate interaction among dolphins but also play a pivotal role in 'navigation'. Dolphins employ 'echolocation', essentially their 'sonar capabilities', to detect and locate objects underwater. They do so by emitting sound waves that bounce off underwater objects, providing information about their location, size, and shape. This sophisticated communication and navigation system underscores the intelligence of dolphins and their remarkable adaptability to the marine environment.
The Language of Dolphins
The depth of communication within dolphin language is an intriguing subject of countless research studies. Many biologists and animal behaviorists have hypothesized that the range of sounds emitted by dolphins may well go beyond mere behavioral cues and could indeed constitute a complex language.
Findings from numerous studies have revealed the use of acoustic signaling, a form of sound communication that's crucial in transmitting messages within dolphin communities. Acoustic signaling plays a pivotal role in a range of interactions, from coordinating hunting strategies to warning of potential dangers or simply bonding within their group.
Furthermore, evidence suggests that dolphins may even have distinctive dolphin dialects. These are unique variations in sound patterns, akin to regional accents in human languages, that can differ significantly between various dolphin groups. This discovery further reinforces the notion that dolphin language is a highly intricate system of communication.
In addition to dialects, research is also being conducted on the possibility of syntaxes within dolphin communication. Syntax, an essential component of human language, refers to the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences. The existence of such a structure within the dolphin language would indeed be a groundbreaking revelation.
The exploration into the astonishing communication networks of dolphins is still ongoing, and every new piece of research brings us one step closer to fully understanding these remarkable creatures. The complexity of dolphin language remains a testament to their incredible intelligence and social structure, a subject that undoubtedly warrants further study.
Dolphins' Social Structure Driven by Communication
Communication plays a pivotal role in shaping the 'social structures' of many species, but its influence in the lives of dolphins is particularly noteworthy. Dolphins employ intricate communication methods that have resulted in the formation of 'complex societies' that bear a striking resemblance to 'primate societies'. This sophisticated level of social organization is partly due to their unique 'pod dynamics'.
One of the key practices observed in these aquatic societies is 'alloparenting'. This is a practice where adult dolphins care for calves that are not their own, demonstrating the high degree of social bonds within the pod. Such sophisticated behaviors are indicative not only of a well-defined 'social hierarchy' but also reflect the advanced social structures found among primates, including humans. The intricacy of dolphin communication and its influence on their social structures is a remarkable testament to their intelligence and social adaptability.
Cross Species Communication
Dolphins, renowned for their intelligence and social behavior, have shown remarkable tendencies towards what is known as 'cross-species communication'. This aspect of their behavior is particularly fascinating, especially in the context of interactions with humans, often referred to as 'human-dolphin interaction'. Dolphins have been observed to respond in unique ways to human actions and signals, hinting at a level of comprehension that goes beyond the scope of innate animal instincts. This acknowledgement of human gestures and commands can be seen as evidence of their ability to bridge the gap between species through communication.
Furthermore, dolphins exhibit cooperative hunting strategies with other marine species, a behavior which is viewed as a form of advanced communication. Their ability to adapt their hunting techniques to align with those of different species reveals an incredible level of interspecies empathy and understanding. Such instances of cooperative behavior, or 'inter-species symbiosis', highlight the potential depths of interspecies relationships, proving that these connections can be far more intricate and substantial than we may have previously imagined.
The study of this sophisticated level of cross-species communication among dolphins could shed light on previously unknown aspects of interspecies relationships, enriching our understanding of the interconnectedness of life in our vast oceans.

The selection of Addis Ababa as one of 100 Resilient Cities was officially inaugurated in an event that took place at HoA-REC&N’s Headquarters. The inauguration took place on 8th December 2016 as part of Resilience Agenda Setting Workshop organized by the City Government of Addis Ababa, 100 Resilient Cities, and HoA-REC&N.
The workshop was attended, amongst others, by Mr. Deriba Kuma, Mayor of Addis Ababa City; Mr. Otis Rolley, Regional Director for 100 Resilient Cities, Africa Region and Dr. Araya Asfaw, HoA-REC&N’s Executive Director.
Speaking at the event, Mayor Deriba Kuma said it was “a sobering moment” for him when he had first heard about the selection of Addis for 100 Resilient Cities back in May 2016. Joining 100 Resilient Cities helps Addis Ababa “become more resilient to [challenges] the city is facing,” he said.
100 Resilient Cities—Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation (100RC), is a program dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient to the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century.
While Addis Ababa is growing at a faster rate than ever, it is feared that problems such as flooding, fire and earthquake on one hand and challenges such as unemployment and water scarcity on another hand could hamper its development endeavor. Mayor Deriba, however, expressed his hope that the new membership in 100RC would help Addis Ababa develop and learn tools to face its current and future resilient challenges. “I have a deep conviction that 100RC is a platform to network and showcase what cities can do and learn from each other,” he said.
Mayor Kuma, touching upon efforts undertaken by his Administration to make Addis Ababa more resilient, expressed his conviction that this new membership of Addis Ababa would make more effective the efforts the city is already making.
Concluding his speech, he acknowledged the importance of partnership with HoA-REC&N in securing membership in 100RC. He also highlighted the importance of the current partnership between the City Administration and HoA-REC&N in beautification and waste management effort of Addis Ababa.
Mr. Otis Rolley, also speaking at the event, congratulated the Mayor and the City Administration on selection of Addis Ababa for 100 Resilient Cities. “I have to say that you should never look at this as just an award…because you literally beat over a thousand other cities… it is something to be proud of,” he said.
Dr. Araya Asfaw, in an opening remark, congratulated Addis Ababa upon being admitted to the “prestigious Club of 100 Cities.” “We can ensure the current and future generation a resilient Addis Ababa… this is a great legacy we all should be proud of,” he said.
The workshop, that took place from 8th – 9th December 2016, gathered more than 100 participants, including cabinet members of Addis Ababa City Administration, representatives of various Ethiopian ministries, government and non-government institutions, embassies, NGOS, HoA-REC&N’s staff and the media. The various sessions of the workshop focused on a better understanding of resilience, small group discussions on resilience realities in Addis Ababa and site visit to different parts of the city, including HoA-REC&N-led waste management project site at Sendafa Landfill.


CHRIS JANSON EMBRACES REAL FRIENDS FOR BRAND NEW ALBUM,
DUE OCTOBER 18, 2019
Janson to Perform Lead Single “Good Vibes” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! August 7
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (July 31, 2019) – While most Platinum-selling, chart-topping, critically acclaimed recording artists and stadium-stagers have fan parties, Chris Janson has friend parties. It’s no surprise that Janson embraces that same fundamental philosophy for his brand new album, Real Friends, due October 18 via Warner Music Nashville. His third major label offering traces its very roots to those closest to the singer / songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
“Real Friends is my favorite album I’ve made yet, hands down,” Janson said. “I made Real Friends with actual real friends. I produced the album with real friends, wrote all the songs with real friends, took all the photos for the project with my best friend and wife, Kelly, and I also have a huge collaboration on this album with one of my favorite ‘Ole’ friends! I’m more excited about music now than I have been in all of my career. Thank you to my fans, who truly are my real friends and helped me get where I am today.”
Janson introduced Real Friends to the world earlier this year with his current single, “Good Vibes” (listen HERE). Co-written by Janson, Ashley Gorley and Zach Crowell, the “electric, juiced-up anthem” (Billboard) is currently nearing Top 20 at country radio. He has already performed the song on stages far and wide, from Live with Kelly and Ryan (watch HERE) to Ohio Stadium in a massive concert event alongside “King of Country” George Strait and superstar Blake Shelton. Next Wednesday, August 7, he will take the hit to Jimmy Kimmel Live!, airing at 11:35pm/10:35c on ABC.
The award-winning songwriter has dropped two additional tracks in advance of the album launch, with more to come. Most recently he released “a celebration of working hard and cashing in on a heck of a lot of effort” (The Boot) in the up-tempo jam “Say About Me” (listen HERE), which was named one of Rolling Stone’s “10 Best Country and Americana Songs to Hear Now.” His salute to workingmen and workingwomen in the “blue-collar rocker” (Taste of Country) “Waitin’ On 5” is also available now (listen HERE).
Janson will continue performing his newest tunes live on his own headlining dates across the nation and as direct support on Chris Young’s “Raised On Country Tour.” The high-octane entertainer will be featured on this Sunday’s CMA Fest special airing at 8:00pm/7:00c on ABC. Late summer will also see Janson’s return to the legendary Ryman Auditorium. Limited tickets remain for the September 25 show (link HERE). His last experience headlining the famed concert venue in 2018 included a sold-out audience and a surprise invitation from Keith Urban to join the Grand Ole Opry.

Can everyone please get a grip? Bare female breasts do not – I repeat, do NOT – cause deadly earthquakes.
And I find them far, far less offensive than the things people feel they can come to this country and do.
It seems important to point this out, given the hushed, respectful tones with which the British media have been reporting the arrest in Malaysia of a British woman for the alleged (and pretty impressive) crime of causing an earthquake with her bare breasts.
Eleanor Hawkins, 23, from Derby, is among a group of 10 people who stripped naked before taking photographs at the peak of Mount Kinabalu, a mountain that many Malaysians believe to be sacred.
The picture as it appeared on Facebook (Photo: Emil Kaminski)
Now, instead of returning home to continue her studies for a Masters in aeronautics and aerospace engineering at the University of Southampton, the former public school girl is sitting in a prison cell in Borneo and admits she was "stupid and disrespectful".
She and four others are accused not just of public nudity, but also of causing a 6.0-magnitude earthquake which killed 18 people on Friday, four days after their selfie prank.
This seismic claim, which is being treated with the utmost respect and seriousness by all and sundry, came from the Sabah state deputy chief minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan, who said the tourists had “angered” the spirits of the dead by showing "disrespect" to the mountain.
Now, as a general rule, I think it’s a good idea not to do things that might get you arrested in foreign countries.
I am not someone who generally has much sympathy for people who travel to another country, knowingly break the law, and then cry “foul” and wave their British passports around like a get-out-of-jail-free card. It isn’t. You do the crime, you do the time, whether it is smuggling drugs or, in this case, public nudity.
But can we please get a sense of perspective here? The only reason anyone is offended by the prank is because the pictures were posted on Facebook by one of the group.
No one else saw them strip off except their park ranger guide, who later reported it to police, and all the many millions of Malaysians who appear to have spent many hours searching Facebook for the offending photographs so they could be offended by them.

What is so ridiculous about Miss Hawkins’ plight is the way her case is being treated by the British media - as if the Malaysians actually have a perfectly justified reason for claiming that the naked selfies caused a fatal earthquake.
Are we also supposed to pay respect to someone who believes in fairies at the bottom of the garden or the Easter bunny?
What if Miss Hawkins had holidayed in Haiti and now stood accused of using voodoo to kill innocent Haitians – would we have to respect local cultures and beliefs then?
Apparently so, because, no matter how dumb and absurd anyone else’s beliefs are, it seems we are expected to show respect for them.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, we are told from an early age.
Eleanor poses for a selfie (Photo: Instagram)
The only place where that rule doesn’t apply is in Britain, when anyone and everyone can travel to our country and be allowed to do and say whatever they want, even if it directly conflicts with the values and beliefs of most Britons. That is what we call “freedom”.
Despite the blatant contradiction with our values of gender equality and inclusion, for instance, it is legal for a Muslim woman to cover her face with a burkha or niqab.
And despite our laws about child abuse, a judge can order (as one did this week) that social workers should not interfere when a newly arrived family from Africa or Asia beats their children because their behaviour must be seen in a “different cultural context”.
Well, sorry, but I find a woman showing her bare breasts for a few minutes on a deserted mountain top a darn sight less offensive than a woman covering up her face in public for most of her adult life.
And that “different cultural context” the judge was talking about is the reason why no one stepped in to prevent the murder of Victoria Climbie after months of abuse in her home.
I am happy to respect other cultures when I travel abroad - and, where I’m not willing to compromise my own values and beliefs, I simply choose not to go to those countries.
But why do we expect Britons to change the way they behave, dress and speak when they travel abroad to fit in with local customs and values (like believing in mountain spirits) yet we don’t expect the same from people who come to our country?
It’s all very well patting ourselves on the back for being so welcoming and free-thinking, but why aren’t we as proud about asserting our liberal, reason-based values as so many other countries are about asserting their conservative, often religious based ones?
If public nudity in Malaysia warrants a jail term, then so be it. Lesson learned, young lady.
But playing along with the nonsense of angry mountain spirits, in the face of science and common sense, is not just stupid, it’s downright dangerous.
Bare breasts do not cause earthquakes, no matter which culture you come from.

When combined, rare diseases (RD) are not actually rare, as they collectively affect around 25–30 million people in the United States (US) and more than 300 million people worldwide. RD represent a diverse spectrum of more than 7–10,000 different disorders, most of which affect only a few hundred to a few thousand people per disease. It is estimated that around 85% of RD are genetic diseases, the majority of which are serious or life-threatening conditions that carry substantial morbidity and early mortality, and present considerable medical and financial burdens to RD patients and the families who care for them. Given the large number of different rare diseases, each of which affects only a small number of patients, assessing the true impact of rare diseases on healthcare systems (HCS) is challenging.
The Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases published a white paper titled, “The IDeaS initiative: pilot study to assess the impact of rare diseases on patients and healthcare systems,” co-authored by EVERSANA’s Chief Medical Officer Pierantonio Russo, MD, to illustrate the impact of RD on HCS.
Background: Rare diseases (RD) are a diverse collection of more than 7–10,000 different disorders, most of which affect a small number of people per disease. Because of their rarity and fragmentation of patients across thousands of different disorders, the medical needs of RD patients are not well recognized or quantified in healthcare systems (HCS).
Methodology: We performed a pilot IDeaS study, where we attempted to quantify the number of RD patients and the direct medical costs of 14 representative RD within 4 different HCS databases and performed a preliminary analysis of the diagnostic journey for selected RD patients.
Results: The overall findings were notable for: (1) RD patients are difficult to quantify in HCS using ICD coding search criteria, which likely results in under-counting and under-estimation of their true impact to HCS; (2) per patient direct medical costs of RD are high, estimated to be around three–fivefold higher than age-matched controls; and (3) preliminary evidence shows that diagnostic journeys are likely prolonged in many patients, and may result in progressive, irreversible, and costly complications of their disease.
Conclusions: The results of this small pilot suggest that RD have high medical burdens to patients and HCS, and collectively represent a major impact to the public health. Machine-learning strategies applied to HCS databases and medical records using sentinel disease and patient characteristics may hold promise for faster and more accurate diagnosis for many RD patients and should be explored to help address the high unmet medical needs of RD patients.

A cascade of events has occurred in the last two weeks which all point to two critical needs: getting at the facts about torture of detainees in American custody; and implementing a process of accountability for those who ordered, designed, and authorized torture policy.
The dark saga of the Department of Justice "torture memos" took a disturbing turn for the worse last week. For five years, we've waited for the report from the Department of Justice's internal ethics investigation of the government lawyers, John Yoo, Jay Bybee, and Steven Bradbury, who authored the infamous memos providing legal cover for abusive interrogation techniques that violated the absolute ban on torture under U.S. and international law. Just a few weeks ago, Attorney General Eric Holder said the report would be released by the end of November. Instead of releasing the report, the Department of Justice filed an amicus brief in support of John Yoo in the case Padilla v. Yoo currently before the Ninth Circuit, arguing that any DOJ lawyer who counsels and sanctions torture or other crimes against humanity is absolutely immune from suit. This is not what a restoration of the rule of law looks like.
As deputy in the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) during the early Bush years, John Yoo authored the most notorious of the "torture memos," some of which were later rescinded for their patently flawed legal reasoning and ethical lapses. Following the leak of several memos to the public in 2004, the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), the internal ethics review board of the Department of Justice, began an investigation into the ethical conduct of the authors of the "torture memos." OPR reportedly finished its report nearly a year ago -- but then-Attorney General Michael Mukasey and his deputy Mark Filip, dismayed by the contents of the report and its documented evidence of improper communications between OLC and White House lawyers about the "torture memos," figured out ways to tone down the report and delay its release. Since President Obama took office, Attorney General Holder has faced questions about when the OPR report would become public - and every few months he has said it would be finished "soon" or "within a matter of weeks," until a few weeks ago when he testified before the Senate that it should be out by the end of November.
But the end of November came and went without an OPR report - and instead we got the Department of Justice's brief, which didn't need to be filed, arguing against allowing John Yoo to be sued for matters related to war powers and national security. Jose Padilla sued Yoo last year, alleging that he was tortured as a result of the legal memoranda written by Yoo. A district court judge in San Francisco (who is a registered Republican and Bush appointee) allowed Padilla's suit to proceed past the pleading stage because, he wrote, "Like any other government official, government lawyers are responsible for the foreseeable consequences of their conduct...." DOJ's brief asserts that no constitutional damages remedy can exist against a government lawyer for legal advice he gave to the President on matters of national security.
The DOJ's position in Padilla v. Yoo was compromised from the start. For a while, DOJ attorneys served as Yoo's counsel in the case, defending his actions as a member of the department at the same time that another branch of DOJ was conducting an ethics investigation into his conduct. At some point the Department realized this presented an insurmountable conflict, and Yoo retained Miguel Estrada as private counsel.
After turning Yoo's defense over to Estrada, the Justice Department could have stayed out of the suit, which might have been the prudent move. If DOJ recognized that it was a conflict to support Yoo's position through direct representation, it should not try to do an end run by getting its views before the court by filing an amicus brief.
The Department's amicus brief is, as a substantive matter, disingenuous at best. As Scott Horton notes, federal law has long held that government officials who are responsible for torturing individuals may be held accountable in court for their conduct - a principle enshrined in decisions from the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals which DOJ failed to cite in its brief. DOJ now argues that the only way a government lawyer can be held accountable for unethical and/or illegal conduct that in some way involves matters of national security is through internal review by the Department's OPR and Office of Inspector General, bar disciplinary action, and criminal prosecution. As Horton, writes, "It effectively boils down to the Justice Department saying that it alone will decide about the accountability of its staffers for wrongful conduct that damages others."
The longer the OPR report sits behind Eric Holder's closed door, the farther off the promise of the Obama Administration to promote transparency and restore the integrity of the Department of Justice, which was so debased by the improper political maneuverings of the last administration. The Justice Department has the duty to enforce our anti-torture laws and the responsibility to maintain the integrity both of the department and of our rule of law. It can do better than coming to the defense of John Yoo.

Dunedin, Feb 20: New Zealand completed a 3-0 whitewash of Bangladesh after trouncing them by 88 runs in the third ODI in Dunedin. The visitors hardly had an answer with the bat as Tim Southee took 6 for 65 in his comeback ODI, or the ball, as the home side put them to the sword in good batting conditions earlier in the day.
Sabbir Rahman's maiden ODI hundred was the only source of joy for the visitors. The knock of 102 rounded off a decent comeback in this ODI series for Sabbir.
Earlier, New Zealand's 330 for six, after being sent into bat, was built around half-centuries from Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, and Tom Latham, before Southee, back into the ODI fold after a considerable gap, led the bowling with a superb opening burst, and a fine finish.
He first removed Tamim Iqbal, who finished a horrid ODI series with a duck off the second ball of the chase. His departure off a horrid shot was followed by one from Soumya Sarkar, who, with his feet rooted to the crease, missed Southee's late inswinger in the first over itself. Liton Das once again made just one, for the third game in a row, falling lbw to Southee in his second over.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah threatened to steer Bangladesh to a semblance of respectability but just when they appeared to have got their eye in, both fell to poor shots.
By contrast, New Zealand's batting effort was a tutorial on how to build an ODI inning. Despite the loss of Munro in the fifth over, Martin Guptill and Nicholls got them out of trouble, before Nicholls and Taylor followed up on the good work to put on 92 runs for the third wicket and give New Zealand a platform to launch in the final 20 overs.
Taylor scored most of his runs in front of the wicket, while Nicholls got most of his boundaries square of the wicket on both sides. Latham then struck a quickfire 59 with three sixes over the leg-side and two fours through the covers.
He was also involved in a 55-run fourth-wicket stand with Taylor, who top scored with 69, and a 65-run fifth-wicket stand with James Neesham, which took only 6.4 overs. Neesham and de Grandhomme made 37 each, the latter getting them in just 15 balls with two sixes and four fours.
Along with Mitchell Santner, de Grandhomme added 46 runs in the last 3.3 overs to get New Zealand to a score beyond Bangladesh's reach.

HUF 8.8 bln in offshore assets repatriated under amnesty
Hungarians repatriated HUF 8.8 billion in offshore assets during the first two-thirds of an amnesty program that ran for the first half of the year, tax office chief András Tállai said in a written response to an opposition MPʼs question posted on the website of Parliament, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.
Under the program, participating banks transferred 10% of repatriated assets to the National Tax and Customs Authority (NAV) without revealing the identity of their clients. NAV then issued the bank a certificate showing the clientsʼ assets are legally earned income.
Tallai said banks participating in the program had transferred just under HUF 880 million to the state in January-April. Banks report on the repatriated assets on a monthly basis, he added.
Between 2014-2016, Hungarians could repatriate their offshore assets to Stability Savings Accounts and withdraw the money tax-free after a period of five years. Some HUF 156 bln was deposited in accounts during that period.

Jews have every right to reside where ever they choose in Israel. The WB is 100% Israeli territory. Tell Mr Bonkey Moon that there never ever was a Palestinian state so Israel can't possibly be stealing their land. The reason there is no PA state is because the Arab leaders opted to declare war in 47, 67 and 2000 hoping to destroy Israel. If you start a a war and lose- you pay a territorial price. The PA can have a state in Areas A - Israel cannot move 650,000 Jews from the WB. Jews have been praying and yearning to reside in Hebron, Bet el, Shilo - The PA had a chance to make peace but they opted for war - so now it is their problem.

Rotary Mower vs. Sickle Bar Mower for Land Maintenance
The traditional sickle bar mowers are difficult to find in some areas, because they are being replaced by rotary mowers -- also called disk or drum mowers. Sales of more expensive, heavy-duty rotary mowers exceeded those of sickle mowers beginning in 1997. In general, rotary mowers perform better for land maintenance, but they are more expensive.
Rotary mowers cut alfalfa, weeds or scrub with sharp disks mounted on a bar. Some rotary mowers are mounted in sets of two or three, one on each side and one on the front of a tractor so they can cut up to 20-foot swaths. Rear-mounted units are called scrub cutters in some countries.
Sickle mowers were originally drawn by horses. A 6- to 7 ½-foot-long bar with stationary finger plates has a skid at the end. The skid supports the bar as it rides along the ground. Triangular blades are mounted on a reciprocating sickle that moves in a channel on the bar. As the blades move back and forth on the moving sickle, alfalfa, forage, weeds or scrub are cut between the sickle blades and the finger plates. A board at the end of the bar separates the cut from the uncut hay, providing a path for the mower skid on the next pass.
Rotary mowers are good when forage is thick, rough, wet or lodged, meaning that it is flat or toppled over from the wind or because it has grown too tall. This makes rotary mowers better for tough land maintenance chores. Rotary mowers cut at higher speeds, so they are better than sickle mowers for large acreage. It is also easier to adjust the height of rotary mowers, and they do not plug or become stuck.
Conventional sickle mowers don’t require as much power as rotary mowers, so they can be operated by smaller tractors. They give a cleaner cut, whereas a rotary mower leaves a more ragged look. Sickle mowers are good for small acreage and cutting alfalfa.
Rotary mowers cost more than sickle mowers. A rotary mower that is pulled behind a tractor can cost 20 percent to 30 percent more than a sickle mower. A self-propelled rotary mower can cost up to 50 percent more. Early models of rotary mowers were difficult to maintain and repair; those problems have been corrected in more recent models.
While sickle mowers are cheaper, they do not perform as well for rough chores and heavy growth. They can become plugged or stuck, and the cutting blades can break. Since sickle mowers are no longer sold by many dealers, buying parts can often be more difficult.
When sickle bars become jammed, they sometimes have to be cleared by hand. When a jammed sickle bar is being cleared, it can suddenly shift, threatening any fingers that might be in the way. A sickle bar also may shift when it is being stored, posing the same danger.

McConnell, who reminds people of a turtle, says it’s best not to hurry.
NEW YORK — In a surprise political shift of responsibility, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has decided that he will now be manning the helm of the public transport agency of New York City, the MTA.
With the recent extension on the self-imposed deadline to repeal and replace Obamacare, McConnell has stumbled upon a cache of free time. In keeping with the spirit of productivity that the Senate is so popularly known for the Majority Leader has decided that his skill set would provide and even greater service to the Metro Transit Authority.
“If I could stall even just one bus route… one subway line… well, then I’ve done my job,” continued McConnell.
In a revolutionary policy shift, McConnell has also decided that numbers and letters will no longer be assigned to the MTA’s vehicles of transportation.
“We have found numbers as well as letters to be vastly confusing in regards to clarifying systemic transparency,” said McConnell. “I think we’ve proved that fact with absolute clarity while formulating health care reform.”
Employees of the MTA are not as confident with the sudden shift in authority.
“Who?” responded Felix Ramirez, a fifteen year veteran of the MTA, when asked his opinion of Senator McConnell. “The guy that looks like a plucked Thanksgiving turkey?”
Residents of Manhattan as well as the surrounding areas have been cautioned to utilize other modes of transportation such as hang gliders, zip lines, and being shot from a cannon if they plan to arrive to their destinations on time.

St. Maarten News Network reports that several personnel of the Princess Juliana International Airport (PJIAE) are enraged at the loss of the two lives that they said could have been saved if the St. Maarten Civil Aviation had taken proper actions on Monday.
The workers who spoke to SMN News on the condition of anonymity said that they fear speaking out on the record because the management of the PJIAE is very spiteful and they may lose their jobs for telling the truth.
The workers said PJIAE and its staff were spared last Monday when the Skyway Short SH360 lost its brakes and almost crashed into SOL fuel farm. “When that incident occurred St. Maarten Civil Aviation had to conduct an in-depth investigation and stop the aircraft from flying in and out of St. Maarten until it is properly checked by the FAA and an organization before it is allowed to fly.
St. Maarten Civil Aviation does not have certified personnel working at PJIAE. They do not even have a crash inspector who could have conducted a proper investigation into Monday’s accident.”
The workers said it is indeed a sad time for St. Maarten and the families who lost their love ones. They said that the persons working at St. Maarten Civil Aviation are not qualified; one of them is former police officer. They said those workers were made by political influence and that none of them were properly trained, they do not have the qualifications to hold the positions they hold.
“What should have happened is those persons should have been trained by the Dutch or sent to Holland for training in order for qualified persons to be working at an International Airport. Even the fire department at PJIAE has unqualified staff. Some qualified firemen left their jobs at the fire station at PJIAE simply because politicians appointed non qualified persons to positions while others that are fully qualified and have years of experience cannot get a promotion.
One worker said that St. Maarten had one of the best fire chiefs Mr. Winston Solomon who could have set up a proper fire station at PJIAE with fully qualified staff, but instead of using one of St. Maarten’s best to do what is right and safe for the country, Solomon was sent home on pension while hundreds of lives are in danger.
Management of PJIAE could not be reached on Thursday for a comment on the incident on Monday and the eventual crash of the same aircraft that claimed the lives of two pilots.
