Effective identity management underpins the modern enterprise, and Google has been hard at work to provide simple, secure solutions for administrators and developers. In March, we launched Cloud Identity to help customers manage users, devices and apps from a central console. In July, we announced context-aware access, an innovative approach to access management that implements many elements of Google’s BeyondCorp vision for apps and services on Google Cloud and beyond.
Today, we’re announcing three new ways we’re extending those identity and security capabilities.
Simplifying identity management in your own apps with Cloud Identity for Customers and Partners
Forward-looking organizations are striving to build modern web and mobile applications to attract customers and partners in order to grow their business. A fundamental component of virtually any app is identity and access management. Users expect simple and secure sign-up, sign-in, and self-service experiences on their favorite devices.
While app developers can build their own identity and access management functionality, this approach has challenges. Getting identity and access management right requires significant effort, expertise, and cost. This is due to the complexity of building and maintaining an identity system that stays up-to-date with the constantly evolving authentication requirements, keeping user accounts secure with threats only increasing in occurrence and sophistication, and scaling reliably when the demand for the app grows.
To address this, we’re announcing Cloud Identity for Customers and Partners (CICP), a customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform that can help developers add Google-grade identity and access management functionality to their apps, protect user accounts, and scale with confidence. CICP will be available in public beta in the coming weeks–stay tuned for more on that in a future blog post.
By implementing CICP, developers can focus on building their app, while CICP delivers essential identity management capabilities:
- Google-grade authentication. Based on the widely adopted Firebase and Google’s identity platforms, CICP provides a drop-in, customizable authentication service that manages the UI flows for user sign-up and sign-in. CICP also supports multiple authentication methods (anonymous, email/password, phone, social, SAML, OIDC, and more), client SDKs (web, iOS, and Android), and server SDKs (Node.js, Java, Python, and more).
- Advanced user security. CICP is integrated with Google’s intelligence and threat signals to help detect compromised user accounts. We are also working to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in CICP, when it becomes generally available, to help protect user accounts from phishing attacks.
- Planet-scale infrastructure. Built on Google Cloud’s security, performance, network, and scale, CICP is designed to satisfy the needs of even the most demanding applications. When CICP reaches general availability, it will also include an enterprise-grade availability SLA and technical support to give organizations a peace of mind for a foundational component of their app.
We have been working with select customers on implementing CICP in their apps. For example, Veolia is using CICP to build applications for their customers — such as those that monitor air and water quality to make sure issues are identified and addressed quickly.
“We deal with a lot of operational data and indicators available through digital applications, and our goal is to offer simple and secure sign-up and sign-in experiences to our ecosystem,” says Herve DUMAS, CTO, Veolia. “Cloud Identity for Customers and Partners makes this easy, so we can focus on building apps and delivering value to our customers.”

Simplifying user access to traditional apps with secure LDAP in Cloud Identity
Although adoption of software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps, such as G Suite, continues to grow, many businesses still rely on certain traditional LDAP-based applications and IT infrastructure (e.g. VPN servers) to get their work done. Enabling users to access SaaS and traditional apps in a simple manner is challenging and typically requires IT teams to maintain two identity management systems.
Secure LDAP in Cloud Identity solves this challenge by allowing organizations to manage access to SaaS apps and traditional LDAP-based apps/infrastructure hosted on-premises or in the cloud using a single identity and access management platform. This means that people can use the same Cloud Identity credentials they use to log into services like G Suite and other SaaS apps to log into traditional applications. Another benefit is that administrators can now manage it all in one place. For example, Doctor on Demand uses Cloud Identity to enable access to both cloud and traditional apps.
“Doctor On Demand uses a number of SAML and LDAP-based apps, including Jamf Pro, to improve the world’s health through compassionate care and innovation,” says Wez Ireland, Information Security Analyst, Doctor On Demand. “With secure LDAP, we now use Cloud Identity as a single directory to enable our team members access both types of apps, enabling Doctor On Demand to focus on putting the patient first and providing face-to-face healthcare to everyone in the United States, 24/7.”
With secure LDAP, Cloud Identity can now help to unify the management of cloud and on-prem identities as well as SaaS and traditional apps. This can help to decrease complexity and cost by simplifying day-to-day work for IT, reducing the dependency on legacy identity infrastructure such as Microsoft Active Directory, and improving security by having a single place for identity and app policies.
“For the first 18 years of our company, we were a business where 100% of our IT infrastructure remained on-prem,” says Chris Thompson, Head of IT Operations, Utility Warehouse. “However, at the rate we’ve been expanding, in numbers of both internal staff and customers, our IT infrastructure wasn’t able to scale with us or take us on the growth journey we wished to be on. With the ongoing goal of moving everything to the cloud, secure LDAP in Cloud Identity will allow us to accelerate that shift and ensure that our LDAP applications, such as PaperCut, and other traditional applications will no longer have the same on-prem dependencies that could have significantly slowed us down during this transition.”
Select customers and partners have already been using secure LDAP for their apps and IT infrastructure, and we are excited to highlight a number of launch partners that we have been working with to ensure that their apps work with secure LDAP: Aruba Networks (HPE), Atlassian, itopia, JAMF, Jenkins (Cloudbees), OpenVPN, Papercut, pfSense (Netgate), Puppet, Sophos, Splunk, and Synology. Virtually any app that supports LDAP over SSL can work with secure LDAP, and we are actively working with partners to validate more apps.
Secure LDAP will be rolling globally to Cloud Identity and G Suite customers in the coming weeks. To learn more, visit our website, check out the documentation, or start a free 14-day trial of Cloud Identity.
Simplifying access management for web apps through context-aware access capabilities in Cloud IAP
In July, we announced context-aware access to give organizations more flexibility and control over how they enforce access to their apps and data. Today, we’re announcing the beta availability of context-aware access capabilities for customers using Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP).
Context-aware access brings a new approach to access management that implements many elements of Google’s BeyondCorp vision. Context-aware access allows organizations to define and enforce granular access to cloud resources based on a user’s identity and the context of their request without using remote-access VPN gateways. This increases an organization’s security posture while decreasing complexity for users, giving them the ability to seamlessly log on to apps from anywhere and any device.
In this beta release, customers using Cloud IAP can now manage access to their web apps hosted on Google Cloud Platform based on context (location, device security status) in addition to their identity.
For example, a customer using Cloud IAP can specify that a web application intended for their employees and their contractors can only be accessed from Windows, macOS or ChromeOS devices updated to a specific version or above. The customer can also specify that the device used for accessing their web app has to have a screen lock enabled and that the device’s disk should be encrypted. Going further, the customer can restrict access for certain contractors to be allowed only if that contractor’s device is from within the company corporate network.
It’s easy to get started with Cloud IAP. Navigate to the IAP console and check out the documentation for how-to guides. We are also working to enable context-aware access capabilities in Cloud IAM, VPC Service Controls, and Cloud Identity.
More to come
We have been hard at work to deliver expanded identity and security capabilities to our customers. We believe that keeping identity and access secure is critical for businesses to move forward, and we’ll continue to deliver innovative ways to help customers gain peace of mind.

Living amid a flower garden is blissful. But starting your own flower garden is not easy. It requires planning, timing, budget, and hard work. Being clumsy in building a green cover, be it small or big, will only mess up things. So follow these 10 easy steps to start your own flower garden.
Select the site where you want to start a flower garden. Try to figure out what part of the backyard is fertile. Test some sample of soil at a nursery. The test will reveal the pH level in the soil. At the same time, consider sunlight for some flowers requires aplenty.
Since the year is divided among different types of seasons, you need to find out what flowers grow in which season. It will be frustrating for you if you try planting flowers in summer that bloom in cold climate and vice versa. The ideal time would be autumn or spring to start your flower garden.
Fix a budget
Building an outdoor space brimming with flowers is tiring as well as expensive. There is a great possibility that you may end up spending a fortune on building the flower garden. So fix a budget and stick to it as far as possible. If you are planning perennial plants, you will need a large space which will shoot up the budget.
Dig up the land
Once the planning is done, it’s time for some hard work. First, remove grass and weeds from the area with a tiller. Dig the area to free the soil so that its efficiency for soaking air and water is increased. After the area is ploughed, spread some quality herbicide.
Make the soil better
Since plants will be extracting necessary nutrients for their growth from the soil, make it better. Spread some garden compost and other manure on the garden bed. Let them merge with the soil by turning with a garden fork. This will loosen the soil and improve the soil profile.
Buy plant seeds
When the soil is ready, buy some plant seeds from a nursery. If you are starting the garden in cold climate, buy hardy plants that can endure the frost. Avoid planting annual flowers during the cold climate. In case you are planting perennial plants, do it in mid-spring and autumnal. If you want flower seeds that you can sow directly, then sunflower is the best one.
When the seeds sprout into young plants, water them daily. Water is necessary for the roots. However, watering will depend on the soil type and the climate you have chosen to start the flower garden. Even watering needs to be done slowly and steadily for the roots to soak it.
Protect the flower plants
To keep flower plants away from weeds and let them soak water, mulch the soils by spreading mulch. You need to mulch the soil based on its type. Seek an expert advice to pick the right mulch based on the plants.
Keep feeding the soil
Professional gardeners know that feeding the soil is more important than feeding the plants. Use organic compost to feed the soil. Spray some compost around the plants occasionally to keep them free of pests and diseases.
Maintain your flower garden
Removing weeds from time to time, and watering the flower plants are necessary to maintain your flower garden. It is also vital to fertilize the plant occasionally. Use either liquid or dry fertilizer if you choose to fertilize just once in a season or every month.
Looking at the plants that we nurture come to fruition is rewarding. So don’t while away time since now you know how to start your own flower garden in 10 easy steps. Enjoy a rewarding experience of building a green outdoor space for your family.

'Prometheus' Ad Touts Michael Fassbender as Weyland Industries Robot David (Video)
Ridley Scott's long-awaited "Aliens" prequel ramps up its viral campaign with a faux-ad for the synthetic human played by the Irish star.
In his breakout 2011, Michael Fassbender made a specialty out of playing emotionally distant men (and mutant) in films such as Shame and X-Men: First Class, so playing a full-on robot was the obvious next step. Enter: Prometheus.
In Ridley Scott's upcoming film, the Golden Globe-nominee features as David, a synthetic human from the Weyland Institute who can talk, behave and even emote like a real person, but with a robotic anatomy that is clear of any of those pesky heartstrings that get in the way of pure, cold efficiency during the difficult or distressing jobs that are regularly required in the dystopian future.
His features are highlighted in the latest promotional video for the film, which is one of the most anticipated big screen blockbusters of the summer -- if Scott has plans to differentiate his flick from all the others.
"We're almost action-filmed out, almost science fiction-filmed out," Scott told an audience at WonderCon last month. "So the baseline question is: how original are you going to be?"

Stakeholder Snapshot: Architects and Interior Designers
To put it very simply, an architect is anyone who designs spaces. To meaningfully design any space, one must take into account its utility and the sensory experience for its occupants.
An architect tries to fundamentally understand how people inhabit and interact with their surroundings. Based on this understanding, they try to anticipate the needs of the user. And then they try to create a physical environment where people can meaningfully engage with each other, and go on with the events of their day. Every architect strives to arrive at a solution that benefits both the people that inhabit a particular space and the larger context that that space inhabits.
Traditionally, the word ‘architect’ was synonymous with anyone who oversaw both, the exterior and the interior design of a building. As an example, let us consider the great American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright was known for delving into the minutest details of the interior design for all his projects. The Avery Coonley House is one of the most magnificent manifestations of Wright’s Prairie Style. As a National Historic Landmark, it is noted for its open layout, its wide, overhanging eaves, and its art glass casement windows. The interiors for the project include Wright’s original designs for rugs, curtains, and even the wall paintings.
Today, architecture and interior design have evolved into two distinct disciplines. Architects focus more on spatial planning and the overall construction of a building. On the other hand, interior design is strictly concerned with the finishing and treatment of the interior spaces.
Roles and Responsibilities
Let’s meet Anna (name changed). Anna is a first-generation practicing architect, based out of Mumbai. She works as an associate architect at a popular firm. Recently, her team met a client to determine their project’s design requirements.
The task at hand is to propose a two-storey structure based on the following:
The financial constraints of the project
The client’s preferences around incorporating a particular theme in the design
Insights from analysing the site
Building codes and regulations as prescribed by the authorities
The scope of work requires Anna to be involved in a wide range of activities:
Preparation of drawings: The drawings serve as the foundation for detailed estimations, material procurement, and on-site work. They contain floor and site plans, elevations, and isometric views. Other structural drawings, 3D models, and multiple views are also a part of the work. The size of the project necessitates varying amounts of collaboration and discussion among various experts. These experts can be from structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc.
Cost Estimation: The assessment of costs at various phases of the project’s progress aids in maintaining budget control. This information alerts the client and the project team before a larger budget issue arises.
Liasoning with consulting professionals on structural design; sanitaryware, plumbing, sewage, drainage, and water supply design and structural integration of electrical and communications systems; incorporation of heating, air-conditioning, ventilation, and other mechanical systems including fire detection and prevention systems; and periodic inspection and evaluation of construction work.
Inspecting and managing various on-site tasks with contractors and subcontractors.
Maintaining relationships with material suppliers and vendors.
Anna is a millennial architect. Millennials grew up during a period of rapid digital, economic, and global change. They have different views, actions, and expectations than the previous generations. A survey predicted that they will account for 75 per cent of the workforce by 2025. But they lack operating capital and savings. New architects like Anna have next to zero market networks and relationships. With limited industry expertise, they fight several assumptions and stereotypes. These include “designs are impractical or expensive.”
The industry has compelled these aspiring designers to believe in lies that lead to self-doubt and depression. The biggest lie amongst all this is that they cannot be executioners because they do not have enough work experience. It starts by mere repetition from design jurors in college and is reflected in work roles and assignments during internships.
The disparity between academia and practice results in the lack of industry knowledge. While this leads to apprehension for other stakeholders, it has become a significant factor of exploitation of millennial architects.
The industry is underinvesting in digitisation, exacerbating the existence of information asymmetry among stakeholders. A lack of knowledge or clarity among stakeholders about a project's objectives and uses adds to this contention. As a result, upon breaking down the client's suggestions, each stakeholder has their unique view of the design brief.
Design criteria that are constantly changing necessitate several modifications. This causes significant project delays. As a result, clients' payments are delayed. Unpaid dues and huge fee undercutting by competitors disrupt the entire market forces. As a result, architects are forced to accept cuts from material suppliers and third-party contractors. It is an unethical activity, yet there is no other option except to self-finance the firm. As a result, they are practically barred from acquiring the required financing. There is no openness regarding cost, material availability, or project scheduling.
Their second option is to start a business. As they have no way but to self-finance their growth, no first-generation architect has any hope to reach the level of pre-qualification required for public sector projects that are bubbling under the skin of the nation. As the Indian state is going the big way in building the national infrastructure using consultants competing mainly on commercial bases, where L1 (lowest) bidder is awarded the work, architects are forced to engage in price wars to get assignments.
At a public policy level, the market penetration for a new practitioner is being increasingly reduced. They face disenfranchisement in terms of the scale and age of the firm during the tender process. Whereas in the private domain, senior architects and proprietors of existing practices hold their junior architects back from client meetings, and also add non-competing clauses, etc. to ensure dominance over them. Most of the junior architects are relegated to the work of a draughtsman because it is cheaper for existing practices. On graduation, students find it difficult to find well-paid work in architecture.
Lastly, because of her gender identity, Anna’s problems have doubled as she is not able to exercise her rightful authority in the workspace.
Gender prejudice affects women designers in a unique way. Anna has had a few problems with the contractors. They do not prefer listening to the female authority. She had to hire a man to give the required instructions to the contractors. She also tested this in the market. She requested a quote via her male colleague's email address. While comparing that quotation with the one she received, she realised there was a huge difference, roughly of 6 per cent.
Strenuous working hours, cold and abusive workplace, peanuts for appraisals, and sexism are major factors that push up to 60 per cent of junior architects to quit the profession or change their role within the first five years of completing their graduation.
No industry or its processes are perfect and they cannot be expected to fulfill the needs and demands of all of their stakeholders all the time. Therefore, it is obvious that time and again, someone will decide to leave and their place will be taken up by professionals from outside the industry. It does not mean that there are structural issues with the industry’s processes.
However, if the majority of professionals, who are trained to act as central intermediaries of the industry, pick up and leave within the formative years of their career, then we must accept that there is something fundamentally wrong and inhospitable about how the industry and its leaders function. And as long as there is no recourse to it, the industry will remain in a regression cycle until the tech industry intervenes as a disruptor and decides to give each stakeholder of the industry, irrespective of their seniority, clout, wealth, knowledge and gender, a run for their money.

BEHCET'S DISEASE - HEALED
by Dr. Lawrence Wilson
© October 2023, LD Wilson Consultants, Inc.
All information in this article is for educational purposes only. It is not for the diagnosis, treatment, prescription or cure of any disease or health condition.
Behcet's disease is a somewhat rare disease characterized by inflammation of the veins and arteries.
Symptoms. These vary depending upon the location of the inflammation. They can also vary in severity.
Prognosis. Behcet's disease is considered progressive and incurable by the medical profession.
II. A CASE OF HEALING OF BEHCET'S DISEASE
Sara is 46 years old. She has had Behcet's disease for at least 20 years and it was becoming worse as she grew older. She had little hope of overcoming it. She read about the development program about five years ago and began the program.
Progress on the program. At first, there was little change in her symptoms. She persisted with the program, however, because she felt better in an overall sense.
Over the past two years, however, she noticed noticeably less pain in her joints. She also became happier.
In the past two months, she went through a healing reaction in which her pain flared up throughout her body. She decided this was a healing process, not a worsening of her disease. Such flare-ups are common while one is on the development program. So she just stayed with the program.
Most recent hair tissue mineral test (10/11/23). the test revealed a number of interesting mineral patterns.
- Perhaps the most important is the elimination of 11 toxic metals or toxic forms of nutrient minerals. This is a large number and indicates a significant detoxification process.

The Perks of Having Access to Public Warrant Records
Warrant Records in Clay County, Missouri are maintained by the county clerk of each county and are maintained on the public records. They are also referred to as court dockets, court sheets and legal indexes. There are several reasons for which these types of records are kept by the courts. They are kept to enable the people to have quick and easy access to the docket and they also help the people to cross check on the credibility of a person or a government entity over an official who may be claiming to be a member of a particular organization.
Warrant Records in Clay County Missouri are basically used by the courts, the law enforcement agencies and other officials to find any legal case that has to do with the administration of justice. In fact, they are also used to find out about the violations committed by a certain person or an organization. This can also be used to trace a missing person. It is primarily concerned with the police and the law enforcers. Warrant Records in Clay County Missouri are kept in two ways: physical and electronic.
In the physical way, you can physically retrieve these records from the local police station or the courts. But this can prove to be difficult and sometimes impossible. In addition, you may also face difficulties in presenting your case if the person you are looking for has a previous address in another state. Electronic retrieval method of searching for the warrants can be done by putting in the information required, including the person’s name, date and venue of the event and your location. This will help the authorities to put up a search and get your results in a matter of minutes.
There are various methods by which you can go about requesting for a copy of a person’s record. You have the option of either going to the county clerk or the courthouse or going online. In either way, you need to provide the person’s name, date of birth and social security number. After which, you can expect to receive your report within 15 days. If you want to view the report online, you need to pay a fee.
Accessing the information you requested via warrant records is not only limited to retrieval. It also extends to checking the status of any warrants on an individual. You can check if your property is secure from eviction, if your child is safe at school, or if your partner has custody of your children. You can also use the report to prevent harassment. For instance, if you want to hire a stranger for babysitting your children, you can check if he has a criminal record before letting him in.
With the help of the internet, accessing public warrant records has never been so easy. You can also do it at any time, day or night. It is so convenient to conduct a background check on the people around you that you should do it as soon as possible.

David Wheat, Atlantic Africa and the Spanish Caribbean, 1570-1640. Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 2016.
via UNC Press:
“This work resituates the Spanish Caribbean as an extension of the Luso-African Atlantic world from the late sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth century, when the union of the Spanish and Portuguese crowns facilitated a surge in the transatlantic slave trade. After the catastrophic decline of Amerindian populations on the islands, two major African provenance zones, first Upper Guinea and then Angola, contributed forced migrant populations with distinct experiences to the Caribbean. They played a dynamic role in the social formation of early Spanish colonial society in the fortified port cities of Cartagena de Indias, Havana, Santo Domingo, and Panama City and their semirural hinterlands.
“David Wheat is the first scholar to establish this early phase of the “Africanization” of the Spanish Caribbean two centuries before the rise of large-scale sugar plantations. With African migrants and their descendants comprising demographic majorities in core areas of Spanish settlement, Luso-Africans, Afro-Iberians, Latinized Africans, and free people of color acted more as colonists or settlers than as plantation slaves. These ethnically mixed and economically diversified societies constituted a region of overlapping Iberian and African worlds, while they made possible Spain’s colonization of the Caribbean.”

This re-roof in Johnston St, Abbotsford, Melbourne for Canham Commercial Interiors was a simple roof replacement in the end, however, the demolition for this roof was the hardest part due to the tight access off Johnston St and the amount of old mechanical plant that had to be removed from the roof & then taken away.
It was achieved by having all the plant decommissioned and ready to be removed and then a crane onsite for the day moving it into the site bin ready to be taken away & recycled.
KC Roof Plumbing installed safety mesh with a 60mm anticon foil faced blanket with Apex Building Products .48 BMT Apdeck 700 zincalume sheeting & flashings. This and the fact no new plant was getting installed gave the roof a clean crisp finish that we at KC Roof Plumbing aspire to on all our re-roof projects in Melbourne.
Want to know more about our Melbourne re-roof process? Give KC Roof Plumbing a call today on 1300KCROOF for a quote and a step by step process on how we envisage your re-roof to be carried out.

The worry about the Earth dying is increasingly present. Slowly but surely, we become more and more aware of what we have done to our planet, and scientists are beginning to say we only have 20 years left to save it. We are destroying our planet, and only have one generation to do something about it. Will a diet be able to do so?
The latest solution
According to not more and not less than 37 scientists who have participated at the EAT-Lancet commission, this diet could prevent 11 million deaths a year. They have been investigating, for a long time, about what would be the best way to feed ourselves while still being respectful with our planet.
Enough with the red meat
Apparently, the key to this diet is a reduced percentage of meat. One hamburger or steak a month, and just a couple of chicken and fish servings a week. The reason behind such small amounts of meat is that animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gases than all of the world’s transportation systems combined.
The rest of the diet consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes. These should fill half a meal.
What the diet consists of:
According to the diet, we are only allowed 31 grams of sugar a day, and 50 grams of oils (a day) like olive oil. This is what we should ingest in a day:
- Legumes: 75 grams
- Nuts: 50 grams
- Eggs: An egg and a half a week (13 grams)
- Fish: 28 grams
- Dairy: 250 grams
- Meat: 14 grams of red meat, and 29 grams of chicken
- Vegetables: 300 grams
- Carbohydrates: 232 grams of bread or wholegrain rice, and 50 grams of starchy vegetables (like potatoes)
- Fruit: 200 grams
Spread the word
The biggest obstacle for this diet-based solution would be the most obvious one: get a vast part of the world to completely change their diets, which seems to be an almost impossible task.
It is very difficult for a person to change their diet, but there is a reason behind this, and we have our primal instincts to thank for. Long story short: we perceive this change as a threat to our safety, because food is a part of survival.
This perceived threat to our safety, in turn, provokes a sense of fear, leading us to running out of “willpower” to follow through on our diets. Thus, if it’s difficult for one person to change their diet, let alone almost the entire world.
The biggest challenge
What the challenge of this diet seems to be, is taking meat (especially red meat) almost completely out of our lives. Both North-America and Europe would have to let go of all the red meat they consume.
The solution to red meat consumption could be rising taxes to make it more expensive, preventing people from being able to afford such foods. However, this might just not have positive consequences.
In addition, South-East Asia would have to go on without fish, and Africa without starchy vegetables. This is not exactly an easy task to fulfill.
How the diet will help our planet
This “heroic” diet would be able to prevent 11 million deaths a year because both cardiac arrest and some types of cancer would be reduced. On the other hand, greenhouse gases would also decrease, because, as we have already stated before, a big portion comes from food production.
Food production is not the only threat for climate change
According to Frank M. Mitloehner, professor at the California University, meat production seems to be just as responsible for climate change as transport. This means, that even though fruits and vegetables contribute to a reduced emission on greenhouse gases, the fact that we still have to carry them from one place to another highly contributes to climate change.
So which is worse: excessively consuming meat or transport?
At the end, both are equally harmful.

in Gap-Closing Startups
Gap-closing startups are those that aim to address social or economic disparities and create opportunities for underrepresented communities. These startups often face unique challenges in accessing funding, as investors may prioritize companies with higher growth potential. However, there is growing interest in investing in these types of startups, with a number of funds and initiatives specifically targeting them. For example, the newly launched Beyond Capital Fund focuses on investing in startups that are working to alleviate poverty in India and East Africa.
Flexible Growth Capital in Uganda
In Uganda, a new fund is providing flexible growth capital to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the country. The fund, called the Uganda Development Bank (UDB) Growth Capital Fund, is a joint initiative between the UDB and the Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU). It aims to provide SMEs with access to financing that is tailored to their specific needs, such as longer-term loans and flexible repayment schedules. The fund is part of a broader effort to support Uganda’s economic development by promoting private sector growth.
Affordable Housing in West Africa
The lack of affordable housing is a major issue in many parts of the world, particularly in urban areas. In West Africa, a new initiative is aiming to address this problem by providing low-cost, environmentally sustainable housing solutions. The initiative, called the Affordable Housing Initiative for West Africa (AHWA), is a partnership between the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the African Development Bank. It aims to promote the use of alternative building materials and technologies, as well as innovative financing models, to make housing more accessible to low- and middle-income families.
Reversing Biodiversity Loss
Biodiversity loss is a global issue that threatens the health of ecosystems and the well-being of communities around the world. However, a new initiative is aiming to reverse this trend by promoting the restoration of degraded lands and the protection of biodiversity. The initiative, called the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), is a partnership between the African Union, the World Bank, and other organizations. It aims to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land in Africa by 2030, with a focus on promoting sustainable land use practices and supporting local communities.
Social media influencers have become a powerful force in marketing, with many companies investing heavily in influencer campaigns to promote their products. However, a new trend is emerging: “deinfluencers.” These are individuals who use their social media platforms to promote ethical consumption and discourage excessive consumption. Deinfluencers often focus on issues such as sustainability, social justice, and animal welfare, and encourage their followers to make more conscious choices about what they buy and consume. As consumers become increasingly aware of the impact of their purchasing decisions, the influence of deinfluencers is likely to grow.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the attitudes and beliefs of dispensing naloxone either with a prescription or via a physician-approved protocol policy that was implemented in Ohio. Following the increasing opioid-related overdoses in Ohio, pharmacists are recognized as important healthcare professionals capable of influencing overdose death prevention through naloxone distribution. In 2015, Ohio passed a policy (House Bill 4) that permits a pharmacist or pharmacy intern (under the supervision of a pharmacist) to distribute intramuscular, injection and intranasal formulations of naloxone under a physician-approved protocol.
Methods: An electronic survey was sent to a random sample of pharmacies and community naloxone distribution sites (Project DAWN) in Ohio. The Contextual Interaction Theory (CIT) was used as framework to develop the survey. The CIT uses motivation, information, and power of the policy implementer and target to evaluate an implementation process. Descriptive statistics were calculated to summarize survey responses.
Results: The overall survey response rate was 31.3%. Seventy percent of survey respondents stated they were able to dispense naloxone via a physician-approved protocol, leaving 30% of respondents dispensing naloxone with a prescription. Most respondents (84%) agreed/strongly agreed that the policy has allowed individuals who want/need naloxone to have access through their workplace. Around 44% of sites indicated that they always/sometimes proactively identify candidates to receive naloxone via protocol. Most respondents felt very comfortable/comfortable dispensing naloxone to an individual who works with people at risk of an opioid overdose (90.7%) or felt very comfortable/comfortable dispensing naloxone to a family member or friend of a person at risk of an opioid overdose (88.3%). However, around 38% of respondents felt that an opioid overdose reversal with naloxone encourages future misuse of opioids.
Conclusion: This study identified the attitudes and beliefs of pharmacists and health personnel dispensing naloxone either with a prescription or via a physician-approved protocol established by policy (House Bill 4) in Ohio. Generally, participants showed a supportive and positive attitude toward the policy, but some respondents felt that overdose reversal with naloxone encouraged future misuse of opioids.

We recently visited the the spectacular church of St Agnes, Cawston in Norfolk. Munro had been here previously on a number of occasions, but this was Thadeus' first visit.
We entered the church in the last afternoon gloom with the diagonal sleet on our backs. Inside, the church was lit and full of activity as members of the local community busied themselves decorating the church in readiness for the Christmas service. Due to the unsolicited kindness of the volunteers, we were delighted to be offered the opportunity to climb the stone spiral staircase and gain a spectacular view of the church from the balcony located in the west tower. We were also able to see the lovely hammer-beam angel roof from a new angle...

Hidden away amidst residential buildings in the heart of East London is a mosque which has been described as “one of London’s best kept secrets” – The Burdett Estate Mosque.
The new mosque was opened in April 2017 and is a beautiful example of how a mosque can be designed in a way which complements the surrounding area.
The most striking feature of the mosque is the glass minaret which is situated at the corner and faces Makkah:
The minaret is sure to become an iconic feature in the neighbourhood:
Another beautiful feature of the mosque is the Kufic calligraphy found on one side of the building:
The phrase “there is no god but Allah” is repeated on specially-designed shutters which cover the doors and windows of both floors.
As the sun shines through, the panels are designed to project the words into the hall:
Inside, the focal point of the Mosque is towards the direction of prayer:
The Imam’s place of prayer from where he leads the congregation and the Minbar are located within the minaret!
The ceiling has been designed in such a way to allow the sound to travel across the hall creating a wonderful listening experience when the Qur’an is recited:
Earth tone colours have been used to give a natural feel:
The mosque was built in partnership with the local community as part of the local council’s St Paul’s Way regeneration programme which will include a school, play areas and 109 new homes when finished.
The founders of the mosque faced many challenges in establishing the mosque and many have not lived to see this beautiful purpose-built mosque.
The mosque started in a flat in 1982, which was used only for Tarawih, Eid prayers and as a place to teach children the Qur’an.
In 1984, the mosque was moved to another building with the five daily prayers held in a number of adjoining rooms. Now, the mosque is located in Masjid Lane in Poplar, Tower Hamlets.
Faruq uncle (as everyone lovingly calls him) is one of the founders of the original mosque and he told me how they would regularly face anti-Muslim abuse – both verbally and physically. He recalled the time a pig’s head was left outside the mosque.
Faruq says everybody is pleased with the new mosque but a mosque with no people is not of much use so his wish now is for the youth to get more involved,
“My message for the youth is to organise more activities in the mosque.”
Kamal Hussain who is part of the mosque’s committee paid homage to the elders:
“It’s overwhelming to see that the seed that was planted by our fathers and uncles has come to fruition. They couldn’t even speak English and faced many challenges.”
The mosque has a dedicated section for women where many activities take place. Kamal told me,
“If the sisters are (spiritually) strong, the community will also be strong.”
Finally, he thanked Allah for blessing the community with an amazing mosque:
“To have this amazing mosque is from the will of Allah.”

Asia is undoubtedly an excellent place, filled with cultures so dissimilar to everything we realize in our European society. Certainly in Australia, our tradition was primarily brought in from our english forefathers, and over the last 30 to 40 years, from theUS as our politicians allied themselves this with last accurate military and financial superpower.

Consequently, despite the huge cultural variations between East and Western, in Australia we are blessed by viewing Asian culture inside our lives everyday. There is certainly hardly a city in Australia lacking any Asian supermarket and an Asian cafe of some kind. And there isn’t a town in Australia with out a China City district. It really is small wonder that some people fall deeply in love with the amazing Asian ethnicities and the stunning individuals who have brought these to us.

For instance, at Dating RIGHT HERE, we started with an over-all Asian Dating web page. Right here we review several Asian generalist sites. Having carried out that though, we quickly realised that this cultures root Asia were varied and different plenty of that we needed to be much more particular than this, to essentially perform the asian ethnicities justice. Therefore, we have additional looked into the Asian dating globe and were pleased to realise that internet dating from the Asian design, pretty closely displays the variety of tradition in the Asian globe.
There are numerous culture specific sites away there today, which is fantastic if you’re after a ‘culturally specific’ partner (in the event that you will excuse the word) In recognition of the, we’ve begun to help expand develop our Asian Dating page, covering both broad Asian internet dating sites and in addition reviewing many cultural specific internet dating sites, such as for example Indian INTERNET DATING SITES, Filipino INTERNET DATING SITES and Korean INTERNET DATING SITES.
We will continue steadily to investigate the myriad selection of websites inside the Asian internet dating world, continuing to boost and grow this a part of Internet dating Down Under.

KARACHI (Web Desk) The rupee gained 30 paisas against the dollar on Thursday to close the session at a five-month high of Rs161.82 against the greenback in the open market, data released by the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan (ECAP) showed.
“The dollar is likely to hit Rs160 by December of this year, mainly on account of declining imports and a significant jump in remittances,” said ECAP Chairman Zafar Paracha.
The rupee’s appreciation comes on the heels of a record current account surplus of $792 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, as reported by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Wednesday. Higher inflows — to the tune of $2 billion per month over the last four months in the form of remittances — and lower outflows due to lower oil imports; debt suspension by the G20 countries; and a rebound in textile exports have helped stabilise the rupee.
The dollar peaked against the rupee at Rs168.43 on August 26 but has fallen more than 3.9 per cent or Rs6.61 since then.

Climb the staircase to heaven..at London's most unusual attractions
Published: Monday 30th of September 2013
If you have ever wondered what it was like to climb a staircase to heaven, then come on over to London and you may just find out.
The Tate Modern gallery in the capital has a temporary exhibition which will literally allow visitors to climb a temporary staircase to the sky.
This mind blowing and somewhat dizzying staircase is four times the size of Big Ben. The staircase has been designed by architectural practice dRMM and will be one of the masterpieces on show during the London Design Festival 2013.
The structure is the same height as a three-storey building and composed of interlocking staircases, inspired by the drawings of M.C. Escher.
It also gives amazing views of both the Tate Modern and the River Thames.
But the endless staircase is not the only unusual place in London. There are a number of museums and attractions across the city which are out-of-the-ordinary.
The Camden Catacombs is a good example of that - although not currently open to visitors. This long-forgotten labyrinth of tunnels and vaults is part of London's rich and varied history and were originally built for horses and pit ponies that were used to shunt railway wagons.
But an even better attraction that is open to visitors is Camden Market. This highly popular market is home to just about all of the alternative clothing and memorabilia that you can think of and is a shining testament to the city's multicultural heritage.
There are also a number of unusual and themed museums in the city to suit virtually any taste.
The Fan Museum is a good example of that. Did you know that it is the only museum in the world dedicated entirely to fans?
Currently, the museum is home to over 3,500 fans and the vast majority are antique. Some of them even date back as early as the 11th century. Temporary exhibitions change approximately every four months although there are permanent exhibitions as well.
Old Operating Theatre, London Bridge
This is perhaps one of the most unusual museums in London. It is one of the oldest museums in Europe and is based in the Herb Garret of St Thomas Church, and was part of old St Thomas Hospital.
It gives visitors an interesting (if terrifying) insight into the history of medicine, and the contribution that surgeons and scientists have made to medicine today.
Follow The London Pass blog to learn about the latest news with attractions, sights and sightseeing events in the city. As well as useful tips, hints and advice for visitors to the city and how to make the most of your sightseeing time in London. We hope you enjoy…

Like this photo above, I awoke on a cool misty morning and looked out just has the rising sun started to burn off the mist.I stood on the decking in my boxers and took a few photos of this. With in five minutes this scene was gone. I have seen other misty mornings but never has good.
Do I come to comprehend or become conscious of the beauty in the scene. I ask if I have become conscious of the beauty in the scene then what part is the beauty. Is it the light or the mist, the sun playing through and around the mist. The mystery of what is hided in the mist. Yet at the same time I have photograph the same scene in a full on storm and still love the beauty of the scene. I know I sit and watch this view all the time , I never tire of it.
For me in this place I feel it, it touches a place deep with in. From the wind making the trees chatter to the sound of singing birds. Old mother earth connects with me.
Yet in other places I see beauty but it does not touch me like this place. To you you might or might not see the beauty in it, that my friends is freedom of mind.
May you all stay free.

Marc Lamont Hill spoke to TMZ Live about his new show on the Black News Channel and how he was seeking to address the hole in the market on how black issues are discussed within the media. He said the mainstream media, CNN, MSNBC, FNC, ETC, either misses the stories that are important to the black community, or when they cover them, they’re done so in the wrong manner. That is where his nightly news show Black News Tonight will be coming in. He says this show isn’t meant to segregate or separate the black community and used Toni Morrison as an example, who said “I stand on the margin and let them come to me.” The added perspective on the news will be able to improve the journalism on other networks. That we agree with.
Hill is someone who has worked for Fox as a contributor and had numerous appearances on CNN and MSNBC as well as been a regular on CourtTV, etc. which makes him more than qualified to discuss how the mainstream media works. Just today I noticed a Congressional candidate in Florida named Willie Montague tweeting about people (he was speaking about black people) needing to stop complaining about a lack of opportunity when there’s none. Now clearly this is a statement a white donor gave him to say, but this is representative of what Hill was speaking about. What Montague was saying implies that blacks are the ones complaining about trivial things while the white community are the ones with the real issues. In other words, there is a clear and distinct difference for people on his side of the news talk to black and white people which is problematic for more reasons than we have time to state here.
In other words, Black News Tonight will seek to have more balanced voices around black issues. The show will be airing April 12th at 9pm Monday – Friday.


AMES, Iowa , Feb. 2. THE Nebraska women's swimming and diving team fell to Iowa State Saturday afternoon, 163-126.
There was no men's meet as two years ago, the Athletic Directors of both schools, plus Kansas, shamelessly acted together to kill off their men's programs, claiming budgetary problems forced the moves. Shortly thereafter, all three schools undertook multi-million dollar projects, while Nebraska also distributed a record $1.2 million in bonuses to the A.D., Bill Byrne, and some of his favored coaches.
In yesterday's meet, the Lady Huskers captured a pair of individual wins, as well as a relay victory in the meet.
Freshman Amie Buoy, who finished second on the three-meter springboard Friday at Nebraska-Omaha, took home first on the three meter against the Cyclones with a score of 272.25.
In the 200-yard individual medley, freshman Courtney Peterson took home the only other individual win for the Huskers, as she touched the wall in 2:10.50 to finish first.
The NU 200-yard freestyle relay was also victorious. The Huskers (Angie Matheu, Kate Dulgar, Danielle Erickson, Diana Torres) finished the race in 1:39.01.
NU also added seven runner-up finishes. Freshman Mackenzie Clark touched the wall in 17:25.44 to place second in the 1,650-yard freestyle, while fellow freshman Danielle Erickson finished second in the 200-yard backstroke (2:09.48). Sophomore Diana Torres (200-yard butterfly, 2:07.16) and junior Laura Landgreen (100-yard butterfly, 1:04.04) also took second in their events. NU's 200-yard medley relay (Erickson, Lana Baker, Matheu, Dulgar) also placed second in 1:48.50.
In the diving well, freshman Becky Johnson placed second on the three meter with a score of 272.03.
The meet marked the end of the regular season for the Lady Huskers. Nebraska is next in action at the 2003 Big 12 Championships beginning Feb. 20 in Austin, Texas.

Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, decried the non assent to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill passed in the 8th Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari.
However, the House said it would accord priority to the amendment of the Electoral Act, in the 9th Assembly, to ensure that elections in the country meet international standards.
The chairman, House Committee on Electoral Matters, Aisha Dukku, stated this in Abuja, at the inaugural meeting of the committee.
According to Dukku, the National Assembly made several attempts to give the country a new electoral law in the 8th Assembly. However, all the efforts were unfruitful as President Buhari repeatedly declined assent to the bill, citing various reasons.
“It is important to remind honourable members that during the life span of the 8th Assembly, 12 bills seeking to amend the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 and the Electoral Act Amendment Act 2015 sponsored by members of the House of Representatives were referred to the House Committee on Electoral matters after subsequent second reading for further legislative actions.
“The National Assembly passed the Electoral Act (amendment) bill 2018 and forwarded same to the president for his assent pursuant to Section 58(4)of the 1999 constitution of Nigeria as amended.
“However, the president declined assent due to a lacuna or drafting issues in some of the clauses of the bill and advised that those observation be addressed.
“The president’s observation were accordingly addressed and the bill was again passed in December 2018 and later in April 2019 following another decline to assent by the president inter alia,” she stated.
The lawmaker noted that there are a number of fundamental shortcomings in the electoral act that need to addressed in order to make it fully in line with global standards for elections.
“As it stands the Electoral Act amendment bill is still hanging, hence there is a need for this committee to bring it up because there are several important amendment that will improve our electoral process.
“I wish to assure all Nigerians that the House Committee on Electoral Matters is fully ready and will do everything within its powers to improve and strengthen the conduct of elections in Nigeria,” Dukku added.

Is this stagflation or rather a spectre or phantasy?
The word “stagflation” is starting to appear lately certain analysts’ commentaries and headlines in the specialist press. Synonymous with dark days for the economy, it’s a concept offered as an explanation for recent weakness in equity markets after seven months of consecutive rises. Whilst we understand the media’s appetite for this term, the reality of the situation is quite different.
Global growth: slowdown instead of stagnation
In a nutshell, stagflation refers to a self-perpetuating phenomenon characterised by strong inflation, sustained economic stagnation, and entrenched high levels of unemployment. The concept was popularised in the 1970s after the first oil shock in 1973. At the time, inflation was extremely high, peaking at 12.3% in the US in 1974, and caused by the shock of an especially brutal disruption in the supply of energy commodities (oil in particular). Meanwhile, demand was petering out in developed countries after three decades of sustained economic expansion. The situation at present is completely different. Global demand is extremely strong, particularly in developed countries. Indeed, inflation has been caused by this strong demand in an environment of temporary supply constraints in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. And global economic growth is forecast at 4.5% for 2022, after close to 6% this year, which hardly qualifies as stagnation.
The “stag” element of stagflation is therefore a misnomer in the current environment. However, there are some aspects of the economy that are worrying. We have probably seen the peak of the recovery. Persistent bottlenecks in global production chains, which emerged in China and then spread to developed countries, could eventually depress demand. Some sectors are still vulnerable; Evergrande’s recent woes illustrate the delicate situation of Chinese real estate. However, for the most part, we are talking about fears of a slowdown in the rate of expansion, and not expectations of stagnating growth.
New Price Increases Ensure Persistently High U.S. Inflation
On the other hand, the second element in stagflation refers to inflation, and this is a more serious consideration. Of course, we are far from the levels of 1970-1980 and the causes are very different, but the issue is looming, particularly in the US. Although the price hikes in goods and services that contributed to the surge in inflation in the spring – for second-hand vehicles in particular – are starting to subside, others are beginning to pick up the slack. Prices are now rising for goods directly affected by global supply chain shortages, such as furniture and new vehicles. Producer prices also continue to accelerate strongly, and this phenomenon is exacerbated by the recent surge in energy prices, particularly for natural gas and coal. Real estate prices have soared by close to 20% year-on-year in the US, and this will soon feed through into the inflation basket calculation.
Lastly, wage rises in response to labour shortages are likely to unleash the type of wage-price spiral that will hold inflation at a relatively high level. Over the last decade, productivity gains have largely restricted the impact of wage rises on inflation. Nevertheless, pressure is increasing in the US. According to the most recent employment report published on Friday, many sectors saw wages grow by 0.5%, or even more, over the month. So, although it may be rather phantasy to talk of stagflation today, inflation is very much a reality.

My life is too controversial for a biopic: Mahesh Bhatt
Film-maker Mahesh Bhatt says his life is too “subversive” and “stark”, and that the world will not be able to deal with a biopic on him.bollywood Updated: Aug 12, 2016 18:08 IST
Film-maker Mahesh Bhatt has made several movies that were inspired from events in his life, including his National Award-winning film Zakhm (1998). But, he isn’t keen on a film being made on his life. There have been rumours that his daughter Pooja Bhatt is planning a biopic on him, but Mahesh dismisses them, claiming the project won’t be feasible.
“I don’t think a biopic should be made. Pooja wants to do it though, and I have been dissuading her. If she does end up making one, it will be a biopic on her — of a daughter looking at her father’s journey. You can’t make a biopic on a person who doesn’t want it to be made. My life is too controversial, too subversive, too stark; the world can’t deal with it (laughs),” he says.
Mahesh admits that in cinema, you want bearable and marketable truths. His life, however, does not fall under those categories. “The movie will be blasphemous. It will never see the light of the day. My ideas, not just in the realm of relationships, but with regards to everything, including God, religion, government and people is… If you get a peep into my head, you would lock me up in a mental asylum. You would call me a psychopath. People won’t be able to deal with my thoughts and views,” he says.
There have also been rumours that the TV show Mahesh is producing is a remake of Zakhm, but he refutes them. “My life is the bedrock on which my show is being made, but it is not autobiographical. Some colours of my life do reflect in my films. My life is the raw material from which I draw inspiration,” says the 67-year-old film-maker.

South Dakota’s J.A.I.L.ers recently trotted out a new theme in their continuing effort to mislead voters about Amendment E. Let’s call it the “deliberate decoy.”
It began appearing at the hearing on J.A.I.L.’s challenge to the ballot explanation for Amendment E. As Judge Gors noted in his decision, “At the hearing, [South Dakota J.A.I.L.er-in-Chief Bill] Stegmeier asked the court to point out that decision makers need only fear reprisal if their actions are ‘deliberate.’ Stegmeier asserts that judges will only be ‘jailed’ if they deliberately violate the law, deliberately ignore material facts or deliberately violate the state or federal constitution.”
Granted, Amendment E does say that among (but not all) the acts that can give rise to a complaint under J.A.I.L. are “deliberate” violation of law or the Constitution, “deliberate” disregard of material facts and “intentional” violation of due process. Yet the spin showed up within hours of Gors’ decision on the web site for good ol’ “South Dakotan’s (sic) for Amendment E.” It says, “Amendment E addresses Deliberate (sic) misconduct, Not (sic) accidental. Huge difference.” (Emphasis in original.) It also says, “We’re not referring to a bad decision or one ripe for an appeal. We mean when a judge deliberately violates laws. Which (sic) is different than the ‘deliberating’ cutely mentioned by Judge Gors.” (I would note that the word “deliberating” does not appear anywhere in the opinion written by Judge Gors.)
As Judge Gors noted, though, it is almost impossible for someone acting in a judicial capacity to exercise those powers accidentally. For example, the South Dakota Supreme Court has said that the word intentional does not “designate an additional mental state beyond that accompanying the act.” In other words, absent some sort of other language or expression, the question is whether a person (or entity) intended or deliberately took the act complained of.
Since I know J.A.I.L.ers don’t like courts, let’s go to basic language principles. The American Heritage Dictionary defines deliberate as:
1. Done with or marked by full consciousness of the nature and effects; intentional: mistook the oversight for a deliberate insult. 2. Arising from or marked by careful consideration: a deliberate decision.
Similarly, that dictionary defines intentional as “1. Done deliberately; intended[.]”
So how does this apply in the case of Amendment E. Let’s use J.A.I.L.’s own words to sort that out. Here’s what the flyer the Amendment E folks have been circulating for the last couple months says about why South Dakota needs Amendment E:
Amendment E will hold Judges accountable for the following all to (sic) common violations of citizen’s rights:
Preventing relevant evidence from being admitted, thereby weakening one’s case. Preventing relevant witnesses from testifying before the jury, also weakening one’s case. Violating the court’s own procedural rules. Ruling on a case without having jurisdiction to rule. Prohibiting the jury from hearing what rights and responsibilities that they have as jurors. Dismissing valid cases as frivolous. Violating the South Dakota and United States Constitutions.
Amendment E will end all of the above violations by holding judges accountable.
How can a judge, city council, school board or administrative agency “accidentally” exclude evidence or witnesses at a hearing? That can result only from an intentional or deliberate act and, in fact, an act for which the consequences are plain — the evidence will not be presented.
How can a court, administrative agency or jury “accidentally” rule on a case without the jurisdiction to do so? The threshold of any lawsuit or litigation is jurisdiction. For someone exercising judicial powers to rule on a case, they must first find jurisidction. It is plain, then, that they deliberately exercised jurisdiction, intended to rule and did so deliberately.
How can a court “accidentally” prohibit a jury from hearing its rights and responsibilities? In every jury trial the court must give instructions to the jury and rule on any proposed by the parties and any objections to the proposed instructions. Thus, any instruction or lack thereof is the result of a deliberate and intentional process.
How can a court, school board, administrative agency or jury “accidentally” dismiss or reject a case as frivolous? Plainly, the decision to dismiss was a deliberate and/or intentional decision. Equally plain is the fact the consequences of that decision are known — the case is thrown out.
How can a court, school board, county commission or agency “accidentally” violate the state or federal constitution? A ruling or decision is either constitutional or it isn’t. The judicial entity can’t say, “Oops, I didn’t mean to make that decision or ruling.” Besides, federal law already provides there is no immunity for a federal civil rights claim if the action violated “clearly established statutory or constitutional rights.” If the rights are clearly established, the violation couldn’t be accidental.
Now let’s go a bit beyond J.A.I.L.’s examples. Does the parole board “accidentally” grant or deny parole to a prisoner? Does a school board “accidentally” suspend a student or teacher? Does the Department of Labor “accidentally” grant or deny unemployment benefits?
As the foregoing demonstrates, Judge Gors hit the nail on the head when he rejected this claim:
Stegmeier’s argument is disingenuous at best. Judges do not accidentally decide a case or accidentally sign an order or accidentally send someone to prison. Judges do not accidentally do anything. Every act a judge does is deliberate. Deciding a case is called “the deliberative process” and juries are sent out to “deliberate.”?It is facetious to suggest that judges need only fear reprisal for deliberate acts when all judicial acts are deliberate.
Thus, plain language, common sense and the real world demonstrates that claiming J.A.I.L. applies only to “deliberate” acts is just more smoke and mirrors. I wager, though, that you’re going to hear the Amendment E folks consistently saying it doesn’t apply to “accidents” because that is another mechanism for them to mislead the public on the scope and effect of this measure.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

Academy Award winner Martin Landau passed on July 15, 2017 during a short hospital stay. He was 89 years old and was at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles when he died, according to CNN.
“We are overcome with sadness to report the death of iconic actor Martin Landau,” read the statement from his reps, according to People magazine. “He had just celebrated his 89th birthday.”
The actor played many iconic roles during his lifetime and had a huge influence on the industry. Landau won an Oscar in 1995 for Ed Wood. He was nominated twice for his work in Crimes and Misdemeanors and Tucker: The Man and His Dream. He was also in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest.
Landau’s work spanned seven decades and he was nominated for six Emmys. One of his latest roles was Bob Ryan on Entourage, which landed him his last Emmy nomination. Some believe his character was based on Robert Evans, a producer of The Godfather.
The actor also took time to share his knowledge with another generation of actors. He was accepted into the Actor’s Studio in the ’50s and coached other actors and filmmakers. Some of his students included Jack Nicholson, Anjelica Huston, Harry Dean Stanton, Oliver Stone, Robert Towne, and Shirley Knight, according to Vanity Fair.
Because of this, it’s no wonder that many celebrities have reacted publicly to his death. Some of Landau’s previous costars gave their condolences and said a few touching words on Twitter.

Landau’s final film, Without Ward, is scheduled to be released later this year. It’s a sci-fi romance and Landau plays the titular character. He is survived by his daughters Susie Landau Finch and Juliet Landau, and his granddaughter Aria Isabel Landau.
