Op-ed by Rev. Michael Vaughn
I know that the topic this week will not be popular with many, but I am asking that you at least hear me out and then do as this column suggests, think about it.
Currently there is a completely unfair impeachment trial that taking place in the United States Senate. The reason that I am saying this is because there are many members of the House of Representatives that have desired since President Trump was elected to impeach him. Led by Maxine Walters and Al Green, they have been dreaming about the day that they could impeach the President. Regardless of what one thinks about the President, the tool of impeachment should not be used simply because you don’t like a president. This unfortunately is what the democrats have done with this impeachment.
Maxine Walters and others have done everything within their power to find something, anything that they could in order to bring charges against the President solely because they dislike him and want to convince the American people to believe that they are just in doing so.
Just like anything or anyone else, if you look close enough or hard enough you will find a blemish. The issue with what they have done is that they have used the power of the legislative branch to initiate something that is not fair and definitely goes against our system of justice. During the time when the House of Representatives looked to make their case, they refused to call certain witnesses that could provide support for the accused. When they did allow witnesses, they had them testify in secret and then only allowed certain portions of the testimony to leak out. No where else in an American courtroom could something like what has happened be allowed. The President should not get less treatment because of his office, he is still an American. Now that the scene has shifted to the Senate, the same people that would not allow witnesses are demanding that the Senate call witnesses! This is so troubling to me (and should be for every reasonable person in the country). How can they suggest that they didn’t want to call witnesses and if the Senate does the SAME THING that they did it is unfair?
The other concern is that these are the people that are leading our country! When they argue something so blatantly unfair, it is extremely concerning that they are in charge of the laws being established in this country. Thank God that my trust is in Him and not those leading this nation!
As African-Americans well know we have been on the receiving end of unfair and unjust treatment in the legal system, and we should never want anyone to experience that regardless of how we may personally feel about them. As such we must continually push back against what is taking place because when people in power use that power incorrectly, we are in a dangerous place. This is where we are with this current set of circumstances. Also, the democrats have been stating that if President Trump is acquitted, they will continue to investigate. Reasonable people must see that there is one motivation for many democrats and that is to remove the President from office. They do not care what is right, what is fair or what is good for the nation. They cannot accept the fact that the president was elected by the people of this country and the way to beat him is to win the next election. They have spent his entire presidency investigating him and not being willing to work with him. This congress has shown how much divided government hurts our democracy.
The reason why I say that this is a dangerous precedent is because if impeachment were to end with the removal of the president from office, we can throw out fairness and the rule of law for a president going well into the future. It is despicable what has been done by the House of Representative and Americans need to be much wiser than what they are given credit for and reject this series of events, once and for all. It is not about President Trump, per se, it is about our Republic and how we want to go forward from here!

The popular Dino Ranch pre-school series will come to theatres in both North America and UK and Eire next year following the live entertainment deal.
Top pre-school show Dino Ranch is making its way onto the live stage after Boat Rocker announced it had signed deals with live entertainment producers Fierylight and Terrapin Station Entertainment to bring the property to theatres across North America and UK & Eire.
Dino Ranch has been a huge hit since launching in January 2021 on Disney Junior, Disney Now and subsequently on Disney+ in the US and the UK and also hit the screen on Tiny Pop last month. The show has generated a range of consumer products with licensees including master toy partner Jazwares, Rubies and Simba Dickie.
Expected to launch in 2023, Fierylight and Terrapin Station Entertainment – a division of Sony Music Entertainment – are combining forces to produce the show for the US and Canadian markets followed by the UK and Eire. The companies each have vast experience producing and directing top rated family-centric events and the script is being written by acclaimed writers Richard and Matt Lewis.
Kate Schlomann, EVP Brand Management & Content Marketing, Boat Rocker, said: “We are delighted to partner up with Fierylight and Terrapin Station, two market leaders in producing exciting and engaging live family shows. We are working closely with them to create a thrilling experience that reflects the values of Dino Ranch – a strong family bond, teamwork, diversity, friendship and of course exciting Dino-driven adventures in the great outdoors – that will allow fans to engage even more closely with their favourite show.”
Richard Lewis, Fierylight CEO, added: “We absolutely love Dino Ranch’s unique and imaginative mix of dinosaurs and ranchers and can’t wait to get to work with Boat Rocker to recreate its free-range, roping ‘n’ riding, dinosaur-driven fun on stage. It’s going to make for a really fresh and exciting show, with lots of audience participation that will ensure it’s unlike anything else out there.”
Jonathan Shank, Terrapin Station Entertainment CEO and tour producer, said: “Dino Ranchhas all the elements to be as huge a hit on stage as it is on screen – a great cast, with the wonderful characters in the Cassidy family and of course their amazing Dino buddies; a fabulous ranch setting; and fast-paced, fun adventure stories to thrill its young audience.”
Dino Ranch premiered in January on CBC and CBC Gem (Canada) and on Disney Junior and DisneyNow in the US, launching as the number one cable series among Kids 2-5, and has continued to be a ratings smash hit since. The series debuted in the UK and Australia on Disney+ in April 2021 and has rolled out internationally in other territories across the year. A second series is currently in production and set to appear on Disney channels in the US and LatAm in 2022 and internationally in 2023.
Dino Ranch is produced by Boat Rocker Studios and Industrial Brothers and created by Creative Director and Co-Founder of Industrial Brothers, Matthew Fernandes. Boat Rocker manages the global content distribution and consumer products programme for the franchise.

Between work and home life, the average person spends about 90 percent of their time indoors. Indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outside air. In fact, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranked indoor air quality (IAQ) as a top five environmental danger.
A well-insulated home can help with your energy bills by keeping a constant temperature. But, that also leads to the same air being recycled through your home each time you run your air conditioner or furnace. Be sure you have proper filtration in place to prevent allergens and bacteria from circulating through your air.

Many people are familiar with the traditional water heater. It works by storing water in a tank and keeping it heated to a preset temperature.
A tankless water heater is a new idea to many people. How does it work? As the name implies, there is no tank to store water. Instead, water is heated on an as-needed basis. A couple of the key benefits of a tankless water heater are that you are not heating water until it’s needed. You won’t run out of hot water again.
Let the water heater professionals at Ranger Heating help you determine which type of water heater is best for your situation.
Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers
The comfort of your home not only depends on the air temperature but also the amount of moisture in the air.
Cold weather usually means dry, uncomfortable air. Dry air can cause respiratory problems as well as damage wood furniture. Whole-house humidifiers emit water vapor to increase the humidity in your home.
Hot weather can mean thick, humid air. This can lead to condensation on your windows, mold spots on walls or ceilings, and blistering paint or peeling wallpaper. A whole-house dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air in your home.
Whole-house humidifiers can improve your indoor air quality. This can have positive impact on the overall health of your family and health of your home. It will also help protect your wood floors, furniture, and artwork.
Let our professionals at Ranger Heating help you decide what’s best for your home. Call us at 253-336-3777 or request service online today.
According to the US Department of Energy’s ENERGY STAR® program, leaky ducts in attics or crawl spaces can account for 20 percent or more of a home’s heating and cooling energy losses. This makes it difficult to keep your house comfortable and can result in higher utility bills. Some signs you may have leaky ducts include:
- High summer and winter utility bills
- Rooms difficult to heat and cool
- Stuffy rooms that never seem to feel comfortable
- Ducts located in an attic, crawl space, or garage
- Tangled or kinked flexible ducts in your system
Learn more about how you can detect, prevent, and fix air duct issues with the help of our professionals at Ranger Heating. Find out more about duct testing, duct insulation, and duct cleaning, as well as how they relate to and impact indoor air quality.

An erratic but highly original first novel that sends up the American Dream through riotously and relentlessly scatological means. Gorm, Joyce's hero, is the perennial childhood loser--motherless, unintelligent, bullied by the likes of Pumperdink the Pukeroo and Jism Jack Rogers--until the day he sees a matchbook ad for Charles Atlas and embarks on a body-building course that makes him look like a Nathanael West hero on steroids. His deltoids make him a hero in school and a celebrity throughout his 1950's Pittsburgish town (especially after he spontaneously evolves into a mesmerizing street-corner corset salesman); but he still can't figure out how to develop the member between his legs or kick his obsession with his bowels and their treacherous movements (he swallowed a ball bearing as a child). Finally, when his former babysitter and body-building coach Mrs. Vidoni dies, Gorm lugs her body all over town, scarcely noticing that she's dead, and hangs her excised wart over his weight-lifting bench before strutting his stuff--which he does in a climactic physical-culture contest that confirms Joyce's Swiftian view of human culture. After a darkly, prodigiously inventive opening section, the fantasy gradually hardens into a shock-the-bourgeois mode. Or do Joyce's undeniable gilts just outstay their welcome?

Today I'm thinking about Sandra Bullock and Jesse James. I can't get it out of my head! I love love love both of them. Me being a motorcycle enthusiast have been a Jesse James fan for as long as I can remember. I have been a Sandra Bullock fan since I watched her in "Love Potion No. 9" in 1992! When the two hooked up I will admit that I thought it was a little bit of an opposites attract kinda thing, but the more I hear them talk about each other the more I think they were made for each other.
In Sandra's acceptance speech for best actress at the Golden Globes she thanked Jesse saying, "It is no surprise that my work got better when I met you, because I never knew what it felt like for someone to have my back so thank you."
And in her interview with Barbara Walters that aired right before the Oscars she had amazing things to say about him and their marriage.
Barbara Walters Oscar Special with Sandra Bullock talking career and marriage:
Now rumors are flying about Jesse James having an affair with this woman:
Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
In Touch Weekly says the woman claims she's been carrying on an 11-month affair with Jesse James, after meeting him on Facebook. Michelle claims she sent Jesse a friend request, because she was interested in possibly modeling for his company, West Coast Choppers. Jesse then personally wrote her back, and after exchanging several emails, she met him at his San Diego garage where their affair started. When Michelle asked Jesse about his wife, he simply said, "she doesn't live here. She has a house in Austin. She is filming and I can't talk about it." Michelle said she assumed they were separated, so she decided to become "intimate" with Jesse. Their affair lasted about 5 weeks, with Michelle claiming she slept with Jesse about two to three times a week. Michelle has no proof of the affair.
A source tells People that Sandra has left the Los Angeles home she shares with Jesse James and yesterday she pulled out of next week's London premiere of The Blind Side. While Warner Bros. blamed "unforeseen personal reasons" for her absence.
I don't think it's true. I certainly hope it's not.

Nigeria is building a new deep-sea port and considering two additional facilities to ease congestion in the main harbors of the commercial capital, Lagos, which currently handle about 80 percent of all shipping traffic in Africa’s biggest oil producer.
A new facility is already under construction in the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Lagos through a public-private partnership, while another may be built in the Badagry area of the city, near the border with Benin. A third project, the Ibom seaport, is under consideration in the oil-rich Niger delta, Nigerian Ports Authority Managing Director Hadiza Bala Usman said in an interview…

I joined CygnusRadio.com with the hope of starting an interview program similar to Inside The Actor’s Studio, only on the radio instead of the television. And I had planned to have Paul Belbusti of Mercy Choir as my first guest. I’ve known Paul for years, and I’ve always both enjoyed and/or respected his work.
It took a good long while, but I finally got my act together enough to bring Paul (and Tim Goselin – musician, songwriter, producer, and sometimes Mercy Choir band member) to The Coffeehouse Studio in Middletown, CT, to discuss the making of Mercy Choir Sings In The Traditional Rock and Roll Style.
Paul is guarded and mysterious when talking about his music (and maybe in general). For example:

Portable Sunshades For Pets business.
The sun and pets are generally not a suitable match, and that's why a portable sunshade business for pets is a great idea. Portable pet sunshades are perfect items for any pet owner to purchase and take along on vacations or a trip to the beach with Rover. Not only can these handy little items potentially save some dogs lives, they also make the dog's day at a park a whole lot more comfortable. Ideally, the pet sunshades would be manufactured to be smaller than a traditional sun umbrella, but larger than a rain umbrella. The sunshades should feature colorful images of pets, as this can create an emotional type purchase from many pet owners. The pet sunshades can be sold to pet retailers and veterinarians on a wholesale basis, as well as sold directly to consumers via mall kiosks, the Internet, and mail order. This is a terrific small homebased business concept that really has the potential to grow and become a very profitable business concern.

In my last post when I shared the sentimental gallery wall that I put up for Autumn’s bedroom I mentioned that I was also working on painting her bedroom furniture (which used to be my old childhood furniture). This painting project has taken a big chunk of TWO weekends and I still have one weekend left of painting. It is exhausting, but the results have been SO worth it!
So, my favorite part… Are you ready to see the before and after photos of the furniture? Here we go!
And, isn’t this headboard neat? It has a door that opens up for extra storage. There is also a reading light on the top of the bookshelf part, you just can’t see it. I left the back of the bookshelf as is, since it was a different color… but, I may paint it white, too. Or, I may add a design to the back of the bookcase… Brian even mentioned painting the back of the bookcase with a chalkboard paint, but I don’t know… that may get messy (knowing my daughter!).
I am still trying to decide on if I should paint the oval mirror white or if I should purchase a new mirror for the room. I plan to paint the frame to the chalkboard (that is on the colored striped wall) white and I also may repaint the chalkboard itself to be a color such as lavender or a light purple… I am really digging all of the colored chalkboards I’ve seen lately.
The old knobs on the furniture wouldn’t do… I wanted something that would add a little color and style to the furniture pieces.
I looked at knobs at both Lowes and Hobby Lobby and Lowes won. The pink really pops against the white furniture and I love the pull knobs for the bottom drawers.
I painted these pieces in her room by putting a drop cloth underneath and raising up the furniture onto little yellow painters pyramids. I didn’t need to use Frog Tape at all. If I got a little paint somewhere where it didn’t need to go, I used a wet cloth to wipe it off.
For the desk, I used some extra shelf liner I had leftover and lined the desk drawers with it. Wow, what a difference!
And, that’s it! I DO have some painting left to do next week… the mirror, chalkboard and I might paint the paint of her bookcase. Then, I am DONE PAINTING! WOOHOO! She does have another piece in her walk-in closet which is a huge chest of drawers, but I am going to paint that later… I just can’t… paint anymore. 😉 It was definitely worth all of the hard work, though!
Here is a list of projects I still need to do to finish up this room (it seems like a lot, but most of them are small tasks):
– Paint mirror chalkboard frame and possibly the back of the bookcase
– Fabric Garland (done, but need to hang on wall)
– Monogram Letter on a Canvas above her headboard, wooden monogram is ordered
– Hang bow bird cage
– Add central lighting to room and purchase a chandelier or ceiling fan
– Make a stool shelf
– Update frames on her dresser
– Frozen IG collage
– Stuffed animal storage

JYJ’s Kim Junsu Talks About Upcoming Military Enlistment And More At His Concert
Kim Junsu bid fans farewell during his last orchestral concert before his military enlistment.
C-JeS Entertainment stated, “Kim Junsu held his fifth end-of-the-year concert ‘2016 XIA Ballad & Musical Concert with Orchestra vol.5’ yesterday and spoke honestly about his upcoming military enlistment. This concert was an amalgamation of his musical history, and all 20,000 seats for each of the three performances were sold out.”
Kim Junsu performed songs as all the characters he has portrayed in the past six years, creating his own musical based on his career. He fully immersed himself in each character and each scene, and his fans held their breath in anticipation as the big screens caught Kim Junsu’s every breath, expression, and movement.
A representative stated, “Kim Junsu had to carry the entire show, except for the three minutes he had for outfit changes. He had the hard task of portraying seven characters, and he was amazing and commanded the stage. It was a performance that only Kim Junsu could pull off, and he did his best to create the best stage he could possibly give his fans.”
During the concert, Kim Junsu thanked Ock Joo Hyun and Oh So Yeon, his “Elisabeth” and “December” co-stars, respectively. He also took a moment to interview composer Kim Mun Jung, who was in charge of the orchestra and music for the concert, and a figure who has been with him the longest during his career as a musical actor.
After performing a gala song from the 2011 musical “Tears of Heaven,” Kim Junsu spoke honestly about his upcoming military enlistment. The singer said, “I find it ironic to be wearing a military uniform for my ‘Tears of Heaven’ performance because this concert is my last musical&ballad concert before my enlistment.”
He continued, saying, “I like to think of it as a quick break. I think it’s something all Korean men should go through, and I will make sure I take care of my health. Once that time passes, I’ll come back and repay you for the love you all have given me.”
Meanwhile, Kim Junsu will be having his last “2016 XIA Ballad&Musical Concert with Orchestra vol.5” concert on December 11.

President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan early this morning where they laughed off the conspiracy theories about collusion and electoral interference while addressing reporters.
“Don’t meddle in our election, please,” Trump said to Putin. He then repeated himself while wagging his finger toward the Russian leader.
NEW VIDEO: Reporter asks Trump if he'll tell Putin not to meddle in the 2020 election. Trump turns to Putin, smirks, and kind of jokingly says, "don't meddle." pic.twitter.com/HHG2uL3JZA
— Marshall Cohen (@MarshallCohen) June 28, 2019
Trump told reporters that it was “none of your business” about what he speaks to Putin about behind closed doors. Trump did say that he would address possible electoral interference in the upcoming 2020 election though.
The two strong leaders with many common interests and goals then put the fake news in their crosshairs.
“Get rid of them,” Trump said to his aides about reporters in the room who were hassling the leaders. “Fake news is a great term, isn’t it? You don’t have this problem in Russia but we do.”
“We also have. It’s the same,” Putin responded in English.
Trump mentioned it is “a great honor” to meet once more with Putin, adding that he planned to spend “some very good time” with Putin during their private meeting. They intend to talk “trade, some disarmament, a little protectionism perhaps,” according to Trump.
“The ruling elites have broken away from the people,” Putin said.
“This liberal idea presupposes that nothing needs to be done. That migrants can kill, plunder and rape with impunity because their rights as migrants have to be protected,” he added.
Putin finished with a final smack down of the status quo that has laid waste to Western Civilization.
“Every crime must have its punishment. The liberal idea has become obsolete. It has come into conflict with the interests of the overwhelming majority of the population,” he said.
Trump has also given certain indicators that he would not be opposed to illiberalism as well:
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 27, 2019
The fact that diplomatic relations with Russia have not been impacted despite the best sabotage efforts of deep state and fake news is a testament to Trump’s brilliance as a negotiator. Putin and Trump will continue to work in tandem to restore the West and make their respective nations great again.
Poland’s Nationalist President Declares Election Victory Over Soros-Linked Liberal Challenger
A victory for European conservatives and nationalists.
Polish President Andrzej Duda declared victory at a campaign rally following the initial exit polls in the nation’s presidential election on Sunday, as exit poll results showed him narrowly leading against Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski.
Initial exit polls showed Duda, of the national conservative Law and Justice Party, leading by a slim margin of 50.4% to Trzaskowski’s 49.6%. Final results are expected Monday, but Duda’s campaign is apparently confident enough in their victory to declare triumph in the election.
The Polish election had included a national debate on cultural issues, with Duda accusing Trzaskowski of supporting the introduction of western-style homosexual political movements into Poland. Duda, a continental skeptic of the European Union broadly comparable to Hungary’s Viktor Orban, had described LGBTIA+ ideology as “more destructive” than the Soviet-style Communism many Poles had experienced in the 20th century.
Trzaskowski was also scrutinized for his extensive links to western political elites, having received a scholarship from globalist oligarch George Soros and attending the California Bilderberg Conference.
If Duda’s claim of election night victory holds, his reelection as Polish president will serve as an embarrassment to the bureaucrats of the European Union, potentially forcing them to come to the table and negotiate concessions with Central European leaders such as Duda and Orban who insist upon their national sovereignty.
Duda is thought of as a European ally of President Donald Trump, having been the first global leaders to visit the White House after the coronavirus pandemic. Poland is also one of the few NATO countries to meet their treaty spending commitment, spending more than 2% of its GDP on its armed forces.
“Thank you to all my fellow Poles who voted for me and cast their votes. I want to thank you with all my heart because this turnout shows how much you care about our country,” said Duda at the election rally.

Yes, you heard it right. It is preparing to provide free WiFi around the world. Chinese company Link Sure Network is planning to launch satellite soon in 2020.
A Chinese company will launch its satellite into space in the near future, aiming to provide free WiFi service around the world.
If the Chinese company Link Sure Network’s plan is successful,all the people of the world will have access to high speed WiFi internet directly from 2020 via satellite.
According to the company, the satellite will be launched next year from Jiangsu Launch Center in Jiangsu Province, China. It is planned to send ten more such satellites into space by 2020.
Similarly, by 2026, there will be 272 such satellites of Link Sure in space. It will provide free WiFi network all over the world.
According to Wang Jigging, CEO of the company, the company will invest about Rs. 5000 crore to make the project a successful.
According to Chinese media, people will be able to easily connect the WiFi network coming from space to their smartphones and gadgets.
The space network will operate in areas where telecom networks and other Internet providers are inaccessible.
According to the report, more then 3 billion people worldwide do not have access to the Internet.
Remember that a company called SpaceX has received approval to send 7000 Starlink satellites into space this year. The company will launch 1600 satellites into space in the next few years to provide internet service to earth from space.
Apart from SpaceX, companies like Google, OneWeb and Telesat are also preparing to come up with similar plans. If all the plans are successful, the satellites and balloons of these companies will also provide high speed internet service to earth from space.
Here it is known we will have free WiFi around the world in near future. It helps the people deprived of internet services where telecom and other internet service providers do not reach.

E unsecured personal technology permits people to authenticate papers online within a simple, effortless and…
In an significantly interconnected universe, international partnerships have become a common phenomenon. In numerous parts of Asia, women via poorer locations are looking to get married to men right from richer countries as a way of improving www.uabrides.org their economy. In The european countries, too, there is a growing volume of marriages among EU individuals and people from other countries.
These marriages may be performed in the home country or in the other nation. In most cases, the wedding party is done by civil or spiritual officials. According to laws within the country where the marriage is usually for being held, the party should have lived in that country for the specified time frame prior to the wedding ceremony being organised.
Several paperwork are required to check that the relationship is legal, valid and recognized by the U. Ersus. administration, and the parties has to be of a certain age.
For most couples, the most important concern is definitely the likelihood that an overseas marriage will not be recognized by United states of america immigration representatives as a reputable civil union. This issue is definitely not specifically complex, and a confirmation can usually be achieved without much difficulty, provided that a number of key elements are attained.
First, the couple need to be resident as country for any certain amount of their time, and both spouses must have been residents of the country for your specified period of time as well. Additionally , the marriage must be performed by a local official, and the documents used to accomplish the marriage must be translated into the native terminology of that region.
Second, the foreign government need to recognize wedding. If it really does, a certificate is given to the married couple. The qualification will have the signatures of the recoger or other official who conducted the ceremony, together with the date and place where the marriage was held.
Finally, the mirar will check perhaps the documents employed for the marriage happen to be authentic and get properly translated into the local language belonging to the country where the marriage is to take place. If the registrar sees that the files are authentic, and have been effectively translated into the native words, then the couple will be recognized as legally committed in that nation.
The amounts of such relationships are uncertain, though researchers estimate that at least 15m cross-border unions between 25-39-year-olds occurred global in 2000. But the total body is probably bigger.
In wealthier countries, the shape is likely to be higher still, in respect to researchers from the Independent University of Barcelona as well as the Minnesota Public Centre. They will calculate the fact that the share of such marriages among youngsters has grown in most elements of the world since 2150, but happens to be flat or modestly lower in France, Athens and the Holland.
They also find that the portion of these kinds of marriages is certainly highest in a group of countries. These include Taiwan, which has one of the most foreign birdes-to-be of any country.
These marriages can easily have an impact upon both the sender and recipient, and will affect all their social status. For instance , two leading ladies of Asian countries – Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar and India’s Sonia Gandhi – will be widows via international marriages.

Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy
Semetrol’s Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) system is designed to obtain detailed results very efficiently. Place the probes on your sample, test various measurement conditions, and then start measuring. Measurements may be made very quickly for a survey of traps, or with more extensive transient averaging for very high sensitivity. The entire transient is recorded at each temperature step, so there is no need for repeated temperature scans as with conventional boxcar averaging or correlators.
Several spectra from deep level defects in GaN with the emission rates, or rate windows, listed in the upper right.
Installation includes training, an extensive manual with examples, and on-line instructions that will allow a new user to produce results quickly with thermal spectroscopy. The data acquisition interface allows the user to set up measurements and see the results of changes in the measurement conditions very quickly. Similarly, the data analysis software performs the tasks very efficiently, automatically generating rate windows over the widest range possible, and automatically finding peaks.
DLTS uses a semiconductor structure in which there is a region that is depleted of mobile charges, and measurement conditions may be changed to allow trapping of carriers. The most straightforward method is to use a diode and decrease the width of the depletion region to fill traps that may be present, followed by an increase in the depletion width and measure the rate of emission of the trapped charges.
Energy and capture cross section are determined from an Arrhenius plot of T²/e versus 1/kT. The Arrhenius points are generated automatically.
With the full data set available, post processing can be done in a number of different ways, with user-selected degrees of noise filtering. Analysis includes rate window peak detection, Gaussian deconvolution and transient fitting. Peak detection finds the highest peaks and plots the results on an Arrhenius plot for the energy and capture cross section. Gaussian deconvolution can be used for more detailed fits of the rate window spectra for multiple components. Transient fitting analyzes the data in the time-domain, extracting multiple emission rates.

Why wasn’t an autopsy performed on my patient? -a not too infrequent question for the Medical Examiner or Coroner (ME/C). Contrary to popular belief of many in clinical practice, however, an autopsy will not be performed on every ME/C case.
Yearly, the cause and manner of death of approximately a half-million people is determined by medical examiners’ and coroners’ offices. But an autopsy will be performed on only a percentage of these in large part, to rule out (or rule in) that some type of acute injury, acute intoxication, or the sequela of injury or intoxication, actually caused or contributed to the death. Furthermore, it is beyond the capacity of many offices that are limited by staffing, infrastructure, budget, and the effects of the current opioid crisis, to perform an autopsy on every death. So in a death with a history of natural disease with lethal potential and no indications of foul play or trauma, a cause of death can be determined with the aid of an external-only examination of the body along with review of medical records and test results. Careful evaluation as to whether an autopsy is needed will be further applied to sudden infant and child deaths that include a natural disease history. Interpretation of postmortem testing is an added “tool in the toolbox” that is used. The cause of death can also be determined without an autopsy, in certain in-hospital deaths caused by accidental or suicidal trauma that have been well-documented clinically, where an autopsy likely would only confirm what was previously known clinically.
Well-staffed ME/C offices provide scientific and autopsy services for jurisdictional deaths. Those deaths are sudden, unexpected, unexplained, or that may have arisen under circumstances other that natural: by accident, suicide, or homicide. Identifying a homicidal death, with the aid of an autopsy, is of high priority as this will start or continue the turning of the “wheels of justice”. ME/C offices provide a public service, from a fund of ever-diminishing tax dollars.
Now, finally, the end to the 2-week, nail-biting suspense is near! The answers to the last PPQ follows.
- False. “MSOD due to sepsis” is an UN-acceptable cause-of-death statement. Two errors are represented: use abbreviations and use of non-specific clinical terminology ‘sepsis’ which does not specify the organism and the start of the chain of events that lead to the sepsis (i.e. sequela of trauma versus some natural disease entity)
- False. (the subject of this entry and the method to all this madness)
- A,B,C, and D. Yes, all of these deaths are reportable. A-death in custody. B-death within 24 hours of admission or the clinical definition of sudden death. C-if seizures can be linked to the remote head trauma, the manner of death will not be classified as natural. D-trauma-associated death or possibly therapy-associated.
Caveat for B: While this death is reportable to the ME/C, it is ABSOLUTELY a death that is certifiable by the pronouncing physician or the patient’s primary care physician who may be asked by the Medical Examiner or Coroner Investigator if he/she is willing to certify the death and complete the death certificate.
For more information on what “triage” means to the Medical Examiner of Coroner, consult Chapters 5 and 6 in Essentials of Death Reporting and Death Certification: Practical Applications for the Clinical Practitioner available on Amazon.com.

Michael Dion, the man who wound up crushed between a 4 train and the extendable platform at the Union Square station on Friday, is still in critical condition and unconscious at Bellevue Hospital's surgical intensive-care unit, and now the Post has some horrifying photos of the ordeal. They were taken by witness Mike Day, who at least attempted to help free Dion before snapping the shots. Day says, "He kept saying it was hurting—he was conscious. "Every time they tried to pull him, he was like, 'Stop, stop. It hurts too much.'"
Day said he and a few other witnesses attempted to pry him out, and "one guy even tried to put a box in between to wedge it open. But he couldn't move it." Another witness said, "All those little ridges were in his stomach." Dion was stuck for about half an hour; it took 20 minutes for a contractor who knew how to work the extender's hydraulics to arrive, and another 10 minutes for the contractor to release the platform. The MTA said it was investigating the incident, but it's unclear why there wasn't an MTA worker around who knew how to release the hydraulics.
Dion is reportedly a small-time actor, noted on IMDB for his roles in Vacationland and Against The Ropes. Cops previously said they didn't know how he fell between the train and the platform, but suspect he may have been drinking before the incident.

The use of a chemical pesticide for disease control already proved to have adverse effects on the environment. Chemicals also get degraded in soil and long-term insect control is impossible.

I can’t deny that I am a big coleslaw fan. I could happily sit down with a loaf of crusty bread and a bowl of coleslaw and have that as my lunch. To some people that might sound a little grim but we all have our weird food cravings, right? Not that I think it’s all that weird… After all, coleslaw (or any of the other slaw varieties) bring a lot to any meal. Made well you get a fresh, flavoursome salad that’s full of texture, taste and colour.
In the case of this Asian-style Slaw the core vegetable ingredients are the same as you’d almost anyway. Shredded red cabbage, which brings crunch and a deep earthy flavour; Carrot, for sweetness and texture; Red onion, for warmth and a bit of bite. Only here they’re not dressed in a creamy, mayonnaise based sauce. Rather the vegetables are coated with a slightly sweet, slightly sour and slightly spicy dressing – almost like a vinaigrette.
This gives the slaw a rich comforting flavour that’s also quite refreshing. The lack of creaminess also makes it great alongside a range of dishes where normal coleslaw might be a bit much – or even a bit out of place. At a summer barbecue it would be great alongside grilled meat, fish and vegetables. Or indeed with my Thai-style Chicken Kebabs – which is how this came into being in the first place. Even if that version of the chicken kebab recipe never quite made it onto the blog…
For the Dressing
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tsp Light Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 Lime juiced and zested
- 1 clove Garlic peeled and crushed
- 2 tsp Ginger crushed
- 1 tsp Coriander leaves finely chopped
- ½ tsp Sea Salt Flakes
- ½ tsp Sriracha
For the Slaw
- ¼ Red Cabbage finely shredded
- 1 Carrot sliced into thin matchsticks
- 1 Red Onion peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 Spring Onions thinly sliced
- Put all of the dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Alternatively, you could put them into a container with a tight-fitting lid and shake until they are fully mixed.
- Put the cabbage,carrot and red onion into a large bowl and mix. Pour in half of the dressing and toss the vegetables until they’re well coated. Add more dressing if needed.
- Serve with the remaining dressing alongside so you can add more if needed.

MANHATTAN — Riley County Police Department officers have arrested a second man in the Feb. 6 early-morning robbery of a Manhattan convenience store.
Officer Matthew Droge, of the RCPD, said Friday that Frank Joseph Hanson III, 22, of 1838 Anderson in Manhattan, was arrested Thursday afternoon in connection with the aggravated robbery of Dara’s Fastlane, 1816 Claflin.
Hanson, who was arrested with the cooperation of police departments in Junction City and Grandview Plaza, was being held in the Riley County jail on a bond of $100,000.
Officers had previously arrested Dennis James Denzien, 20, who also resides at 1838 Anderson. Denzien was arrested Wednesday for aggravated robbery and two drug-related charges and remains in the Riley County Jail on a $55,000 bond.

Holly Willoughby has beaten Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly at the TRIC Awards 2019, nabbing the gong for TV Personality of the Year.
The 38-year-old This Morning presenter, who was absent from Tuesday’s This Morning because she was ‘saying goodbye’ to her beloved grandma, came out on top over the Geordie duo and Celebrity Juice’s Keith Lemon.
Ant and Dec won the highly-coveted award last year, just months before Ant, 43, was charged for drink-driving last April, but Holly’s been hard at work over the past few months – even stepping in to co-host I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2018.
On top of that, Holly’s continued being he role of team captain on Celebrity Juice, co-presented Dancing On Ice with Phillip Schofiled, and kept up with her This Morning duties.
Speaking about Holly’s success at this year’s TRIC, This Morning editor Martin Frizell beamed: ‘Holly deserves this award more than ever this year after all her recent success.’
He added to The Sun Online: ‘She is a joy to work with and all at This Morning are very proud of her.’
Holly has yet to comment on her win, as she’s sadly been mourning the loss of her grandmother who has passed away.
The mum-of-three paid tribute to her Nan on Instagram, writing: ‘Today we say goodbye for a little while to my beautiful Nan… go and be with Grandad… he’s been waiting for you… love you… miss you….’
The funeral took place on Tuesday, with Big Brother’s Rylan Clark-Neal stepping in for Holly on This Morning.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.

Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki Round 7 Race Report - Latvia
Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki
May 10th, 2017
The DRT squad made their way out East for the MXGP of Latvia for the seventh round of the FIM World Championship. Despite high hopes for Vsevalod Brylyakov to compete, after his feeling in free practice, it was decided that he was not fit for the main races after his crash last week in Valkenswaard.
With all eyes on Darian Sanayei, the young American stepped up to the plate for the rugged dirt of Latvia. He immediately took a liking to the challenging track, and despite working back from a shoulder injury Darian was able to have a comfortable weekend.
The team have been constantly working on improving their starts, and this weekend some hard worked paid off with a great start in the qualifying race giving a great opportunity or Darian to secure a solid position moving into the main race.
Having secured a good position on the gate, Darian once again utilised this for an impressive start, coming around in 3/4th position. He settled into 7th position behind the top guys and rode a comfortable race on the demanding circuit.
It was a similar story in race two, with another good start enabling Darian to start with the main guys, and eventually settling into 6th for the majority of the race. Good technique and speed kept the American in that position until the last lap when fellow countryman Covington passed him.
Seva Brylyakov was unable to defend his ninth place in the standings as a shoulder injury sustained at the previous GP caused him to withdraw from the Latvian GP after just one training session. The Russian retains his top ten world ranking in tenth place, with Darian Sanyei just one position behind in 11th.

SHUNIAH, Ont.Â — A Kingston tourist is left with a bitter experience after a confrontational encounter over his service dogÂ at aÂ Shuniah business.
Ken Allan and his wife wereÂ visiting Thunder Bay, travelling with his serviceÂ dog Karma who provides support for his post traumatic stress disorder.
The Allan family was visiting the Terry Fox Monument, when a person suggested they stop at a nearby fish market on Lakeshore Drive.
Allan said he and his service dog were only in the store for a couple of moments before the owner ordered him to leave the premises.
âHe got very upset right away,â Allan said. âHe told me to âGet [the dog] out of here.ââ
When Allan tried to explain that Karma was a service dog, the owner explained the dog would get into an confrontation with a rabbit that resides in the shop.
âI told him I could pick her up, my dog is not confrontational, sheâs providing a service for me,â Allan said.
The owner maintained that Allan needed to leave the store, he added. But minutes later, the two got in another verbal altercation outside the store when Allan was looking for an address.
âIt came out of nowhere. He was very angry and irate,â he said.
Food premises regulations under the Health Protection and Promotion Act allows service dogs into premises where food is served, sold, or offered for sale.
âI go into restaurants, and she sits with me at the booth. She can go anywhere I can go,â Allan explained.
Allan said the only way a service dog can be asked to leave is if it âacts out,â such as barking, biting, or behaving inappropriately.
The business operators would not make themselves available for comment upon request from Dougall Media.
Allan uses Karma to assist with his condition of post traumatic stress disorder. He spent 36 years working in correctional services and now suffers from mental health issues that stem from it.
He says getting people to understand the nature of the service dog is a constant difficulty for him. He hopes examples such as this will provide awareness for both service dogs, and post traumatic stress disorder.
âItâs a battle,â he said. âPeople immediately come at you and ask you to leave.â

Health insurance sector growing at 40%
BS Bureau in Kolkata |
August 25, 2003 14:20 IST
The health insurance industry in the country experienced 40 per cent growth and covered 10 million people in 2002-03, with the total premium being collected by companies in the sector in the same period being Rs 1,045 crore (Rs 10.45 billion). The premium figure was Rs 750 in the previous year.
The Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion) entry capital plus risk-based solvency norms means that the business has to grow at 5 per cent for 15 years to break even.
These calculations were based on the assumption that the sector would see doubling of existing premia and a starting claim ratio of 90 per cent reducing to 85 per cent in 5 years.
A typical viable health insurer will have 3 per cent operating margin after claims settlement, marketing and administrative expenses.
In India the picture is a little different with 120 per cent to 130 per cent claim ratio making the business less attractive.
"This calls for a lowering of entry capital in the consumers interest. Risks can also be taken care of through a monitoring risk based solvency norm," said Biswadip Gupta, vice president Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry while delivering his address at a health insurance seminar organised by the Chamber.
Current healthcare expenditure in India was Rs 1,03,000 crore (Rs 1,030 billion), which included Rs 86,000 crore (Rs 860 billion) spent on health care delivery and Rs 17,000
Crore (Rs 170 billion) on pharmaceutical, representing 5.2 per cent of the gross domestic product.
This was comparable to the expenditure incurred by most developing countries on health. However, the coverage of the population under private, social and other types of health insurance was limited to the extent of 15 per cent or less.
Private health insurance in the form of Mediclaim policy of the public sector general insurance companies covered 77.8 lakh (7.78 million) lives, while the Employees State Insurance Scheme covered 3.4 crore (34 million) lives.
The central government health scheme protected 40 lakh (4 million) while the railways health care scheme covered another 12 lakh (1.2 million).
A study on sickness revealed that around 40 to 50 million people are under medical supervision for major ailments at any given point of time and about 200 million mandays are lost annually on account of sickness.The country spends about 6 per cent of its GDP on healthcare while private healthcare expenditure is about 4.25 per cent of GDP, which has grown at the rate of 12 per cent per annum over the last few years.

Tell the Universe you learnt this one and open your heart to the new. Blessings.

Dancing on the Edge (1997)
by Han Nolan
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0152058842, Paperback)Never before in the history of the National Book Award has an author been nominated two years in a row. Han Nolan was nominated in 1996 for Send Me Down a Miracle, and in 1997 Dancing on the Edge--a transcendent novel about a young woman trying to find the truth amidst the lies told by her family--won the National Book Award for young people's literature. Miracle was saved at birth from the belly of a dying woman--that sort of entry into the world is hard to live up to. Miracle has been struggling her whole life to become a prodigy like her writer father or to become gifted in the psychic arts like her grandmother. But when her father goes missing and her grandmother claims that he melted away, Miracle devotes all of her energies to bringing him back. Her efforts to reclaim her father are so sincere that she tries to melt herself in the fire made from a circle of candles. Never sparing humor, Han Nolan lets us meet this amazing young woman who wants so much to believe.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:48:51 -0400)
A young girl from a dysfunctional family creates for herself an alternative world which nearly results in her death but which ultimately leads her to reality.
