On the third day of our Holiday run, we split time between Indiana Wesleyan Shootout and the Lebanon Holiday Tournament. We paired these three games together and loaded up our evaluations from the day.
#24 Garrott Ott-Large – 6’3 SF 2020 – LaPorte (IN)
**26 points against Twin Lakes (IN)**
Garrott is a big wing with a great stroke from beyond the arc. He was pretty special in this game, showcasing that shooting ability as he went off for 8 three-pointers. He hit them all off the catch and was in rhythm pretty early. Obviously his best skill, however, his passing looked pretty good today as well as he was hitting the up-man in transition and had a couple nice dump-offs for points in the paint. For Garrott, want to see him slim up the frame and add some more speed. He’s going to have to add a little dribble-drive game just to balance out his offense. However, in the 2020 class he’s one of, if not the best shooter and that is valuable.
#34 Drake Gunn – 6’5 PF 2019 – LaPorte (IN)
**8 points against Twin Lakes (IN)**
Drake is an undersized forward that seemed to play pretty well around the rim. He’s not a guy that can stretch out and doesn’t really have the handles to be able to play on the wing. However, in transition he’s pretty solid and has enough athleticism to beat guys to the rim. He’s a solid rebounder on both ends of the floor, able to go outside of his area and get over the top of guys to do it. Could be a guy that finds a postgrad year and develops the handles and some more perimeter skills.
#44 Grant Ott-Large – 6’2 SF 2022 – LaPorte (IN)
**7 points against Twin Lakes (IN)**
Grant is in interesting prospect as he’s not a big player right now in terms of height but he was very productive around the rim. Knows how to post up and finish with solid footwork and creativity. He’s a solid shooter but isn’t really using that in this game right now. He’s a little bigger right now but could grow a bit more in height and even out the frame and bring some more speed, a place where he is already pretty solid. Eventually, you would think he would be able to play on the wing so if he can kind of pair it all together, he could be one of the diverse scorers in his class.
#20 Clayton Bridwell – 5’9 PG 2022 – Twin Lakes (IN)
**2 points against LaPorte (IN)**
Clayton is a small guard with the handles and ability to create. Thought he was better today than what we say earlier in the year in terms of his ball handling. He was good in the halfcouft, finding some nice drives but didn’t have a ton of success finishing. He’s going to have to add some more strength to finish tough at the rim. However, he’s really patient and doesn’t make many mistakes for a player that has been give the reigns early on.
#33 Caden Harker – 6’2 SF 2022 – Twin Lakes (IN)
**6 points against LaPorte (IN)**
This was a better game from Harker than the first one of the year all around. He was good with his ability to play in the paint and be physical. He’s got a great frame and can use the strength now to impact not only the scoring but the boards. His jumper looked okay but was much more engaged inside. Handled the ball well and did it in transition where he was able to make a couple plays. He hit a nice mid-range jumper off the catch. If he can continue to add more scoring into his game, that could really be a draw as he’s already an interesting player.
#41 Jace Stoops – 6’4 PF 2020 – Twin Lakes (IN)
**9 points against LaPorte (IN)**
Jace is a big post player who is a little undersized right now but could still grow. However, he’s physically imposing and seemed to use his body better today. He also got out in transition and was effective. His footwork is pretty good and had a couple plays on the low block that were solid including a right handed layup from the mid-post. He’s got some room to grow still but a potential post prospect in a thin 2020 class.
#20 JR Konieczny – 6’6 SF 2021 – South Bend St. Joseph (IN)
**19 points against Logansport (IN)**
JR is a long, lean forward that looks a little more filled out and maybe a little taller now. This wasn’t his best game shooting the ball as he struggled through the first half, maybe rushing it a bit. Seemed like he slowed it down in the second half and was starting to fall more. The good part today was that when his shot wasn’t falling, he seemed to go away from the jumper and make plays off the bounce and in transition more. The switch to do that mentally is tough for some players. He also had a nice chase-down block and was solid on the boards.
#23 Jack Futa – 6’4 SF 2021 – South Bend St. Joseph (IN)
**8 points against Logansport (IN)**
Jack is a solid wing player with handles and seemed to impact the game early on. He sat a ton later in the game for one reason or another but showed the ball handling ability to drive to his right hand and finish with some creativity in the lane. He didn’t get to show a ton but liked the ability he has on the wing and in transition. With his size, he can create some mismatches as he’s more of a 2 than a 3. Pretty much did everything right at the rim in the halfcouft and transition.
#21 Adam O’Dell – 6’5 PF 2021 – South Bend St. Joseph (IN)
**9 points against Logansport (IN)**
O’Dell is a big post player with mobility and showed toughness and creativity today. He was pretty consistent all game long. While his jumper wasn’t really falling, he was adept in the paint at getting his shot off and had more of a dribble-drive game more coming from the mid-range and in. Had a nice spin move in the lane for a layup. Was also using Hoth hands to finish at the rim. His best move of the day was he on the right block and spun into the lane to finish with his left hand. Really creative finish. He’s become more adept at finishing and in the high school setting, he’s so impactful.
#24 Alex Mossey – 6’8 C 2019 – South Bend St. Jospeh (IN)
**8 points against Logansport (IN)**
Mossey is a big post player who seems to have develop some in the last year. A guy that before wasn’t able to impact the offensive end much, is now creating shots in the post and really looking like he could be productive at the next level. Did most of his stuff with no dribble in the post and will need to improve that handle to be able to take his game to another level. However, had a great right hand hook and tough finishes to his left hand as well. Needs a little more strength to finish through contact but is much more improved than a year ago. Could be a solid center for a small school program.
#3 Sam Skaggs – 6’0 PG 2019 – Logansport (IN)
**23 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds against South Bend St. Joseph (IN)**
Sam is a solid guard who may end up playing off the ball but was excellent shooting and should have no problems finding offense. The 6’0 guard played well on both ends of the floor and was rebounding at a high level with toughness winning 50/50 balls. He hit five threes in the game split between off the catch and straight pull-ups with quite a bit of range out to the volleyball line. He was also driving the ball pretty well, playing aggressive and creating contact at the rim. Was pretty balanced and had just about everything working for him in this game.
#11 Will Penny – 6’4 SF 2019 – Logansport (IN)
**27 points, 7 rebounds against South Bend St. Joseph (IN)**
Penny is a long, lanky wing with good size and a developing skill set. He played one of his best games we have seen as he was shooting the ball at a high level, hitting three catch-and-shoot triples, a mid-range pull-up and was great at the rim. He was tough at the rim to stop, using more creativity than strength with a nice up-and-under, and getting a lot done in transition too. He’s always had the skill but not many times has he showed consistency. So far this season, he looks like he might be finally putting it together. If so, raise his level.
#30 Evan Hassett – 6’7 PF 2020 – Logansport (IN)
**12 points against South Bend St. Joseph (IN)**
Hassett is a solid forward with some skill and a nice face-up game. More of a wing forward than a post but showed more work down in the low block than we had seen before. Had a few nice finishes through contact and was quick to get to the spot. However, his finishing ability was a little hampered with such a quick release giving up some touch. A little refinement would add more points each game. Either way, his mobility and skill to play inside and out are interesting and could make him a player to watch for next year’s class.
#3 Colin Kenney – 6’1 PG 2019 – Marquette Catholic (IN) [Committed to Furman]
**17 points against Perry Meridian (IN)**
Kenney is a big guard that has really played well and consistent. He’s built really well and has a ton of strength, pair that with his ability to play on the ball and shoot at a high level and you have the making of a pretty good player. His shot was solid in this game but had some stretches where he was trying to find his offense. But, he’s to the point where even in what we could consider an average game, he puts up 17 points and was more skilled in the lane. Liked his floater and was tougher on drives.
#4 Joesph Andershock – 6’6 SF 2019 – Marquette Catholic (IN)
**11 points against Perry Meridian (IN)**
Andershock is a big wing forward that has the skill to play on the perimeter. He has solid range on his jumper and hit a nice catch-and-shoot three early. Also did better as a driver in this game, handling the ball well in traffic. He’s a guy that provides rebounding ability, ball handling, and some shooting. If he can learn to be a little more aggressive in the lane and just a tick more as a perimeter shooter and see the production go up because all of the underlying skills are there.
#10 Jayden Taylor – 6’3 SG 2021 – Perry Meridian (IN)
**22 points against Marquette Catholic (IN)**
Jayden is a long, rangy guard with handles and a skillset that is going to grow. At 6’3, he has a ton of length and he’s starting to use it more often. Having built his game more around his jumper early on, he’s now a pretty solid creator on the ball. He was great in transition and in the lane. Was effective creating with his right hand, getting into the lane more than a few times. Still hit a nice three off the catch as well. Liked his aggressiveness and was trying to push the tempo quite a bit to his advantage. Really good scoring guard with size.
#12 Semaj Danley – 6’3 SF 2019 – Perry Meridian (IN)
**9 points against Marquette Catholic (IN)**
Danley is a long, lean wing that has still yet to develop a ton of offensive skill but his raw skills are outstanding. He’s plenty athletic and quick and can play well in transition. However, he still needs a capable jumper, although he did hit one in this game. The release isn’t consistent and he’s not looking for them enough. Most offense comes in the lane as he can drive a little bit. If he can fix and use the jumper more, added with all of the raw skills he has and possibility to be a lock down defender, his stock is still fairly high.
#3 Reggie McDonald – 5’9 PG 2021 – Perry Meridian (IN)
**14 points against Marquette Catholic (IN)**
Reggie is a small guard with tons of speed and nifty creation in the lane. Loved his handles and control of the pace of the game. He was great in transition and pushed it out, scoring and dishing in transition. Also, his jumper looked solid. He hit a pair of threes off the catch and seemed to have a good release. He’s small and has decent build and was pretty active defensively. Will be one to watch if this is a normal scoring game for him.

Paulo Martins Chan’s term as DICJ director extended by one year
Macau’s gambling regulator, The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau or DICJ, has announced via the government’s Official Gazette newsletter that Director Paulo Martin Chan will start another 12-month term beginning December 1.
Chan was initially appointed the position for a year long term in December 2015. It has been subsequently renewed each year since. He was appointed at a turbulent time in the Macau gaming industry; at the time of his initial appointment Macau’s GGR was in its 17th consecutive month on decline. Prior to his appointment he had worked at the Prosecutions Office for over 17 years. Chan’s predecessor, Manuel Joaquim das Neves, was director for nearly two-decades.
Earlier this year, Chan was granted 2019 Regulator of the Year for Asia / Australasia by the International Masters of Gaming Law, an award which recognizes outstanding regulators based on stringent standards.


Whether you are buying a new vehicle for the first time, or are looking to upgrade to a new vehicle, the Acura MDX may be the right vehicle for you. It offers a refined interior and exterior design, as well as a refined transmission and towing capacity.
Redesigned exterior design
Earlier this year, Acura revealed its redesigned exterior design of the MDX. The new model is more muscular and features a longer wheelbase. The vehicle also features new styling and a broader variety of luxury materials. The MDX is also equipped with wireless Apple Car-Play integration, a 12.3-in Virtual CockpitTM Digital Instrument Cluster, and more.
Acura’s new MDX prototype was shown in a striking Performance Red Pearl exterior paint. The prototype features a longer hood, a lower body, and a sculpted grille. The diamond-patterned grille is surrounded by JewelEye(r) LED headlights, which are also complemented by Chicane(TM) LED daytime running lights.
The MDX Prototype also features a sporty appearance, with a wide structural motif, open-pore wood with metallic flake, and 21-inch wheels. The wheels are larger and wider to aid in cornering.
Several years ago, Acura completely redesigned the interior of the MDX. It now includes an upscale interior design, high-quality materials, and state-of-the-art technology. The interior is also a modern showcase of safety.
The new MDX features a new structure that enables a better crash-force reduction in the cabin. It also uses a new suspension setup. The front suspension is stiffer, and the rear is softer, enabling better handling.
Interior materials include leather and open-pore wood. There are also pops of aluminum throughout the cabin. There are several different colors, including black, red, and cream. The dash is finished in leather and wood and features a large digital instrument panel.
There are three rows of seats. The front row features massaging 16-way power seats. The middle row can be folded down for added legroom. The seat cushion sits higher off the floor for improved comfort.
Compared to the previous generation, the new MDX features a lighter, more rigid body structure, improved suspension tuning, and a longer body length to create a powerful stance. The interior also features a wealth of rich materials and new technologies.
A new, 10-speed automatic transmission gives Acura MDX more power. The suspension allows for more precise handling, while a new, adjustable power steering system increases maneuverability. All MDX models have a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The interior has an all-new dash design and digital instrumentation. A 12.3-inch infotainment screen is standard. The new MDX also has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The center console features a wireless charging pad, and the front seats have to massage 16-way power adjustment.
Redesigned towing capacity
Whether you are looking to tow a boat, pop-up camper, or another vehicle, the 2022 Acura MDX has a towing capacity that is sure to meet your needs. With the right setup, you can tow 5,000 pounds. You can also add an optional Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system to boost your towing capacity.
This luxury SUV is equipped with a standard 3.5L V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. You can also opt for the 3.5L V6 i-VTEC engine that produces 355 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque.
The Acura MDX has plenty of advanced safety features. These include Hill Start Assist and Collision Mitigation Braking System. You can also choose a 360-degree Surround-View Camera System. This system offers a complete view of the vehicle, which will help you to line up your trailer hitch.
Several Acura MDX owners have complained about transmission problems. Transmission problems can be caused by a wide variety of factors. Sometimes it can be a simple fix, but other times you need to replace parts.
There were nine complaints made on the Acura MDX’s website. Some owners had to replace the transmission several times. This can be frustrating for owners, as it can cost hundreds of dollars to repair.
The third gear switch is located behind the splash guard in the driver’s side wheel well. It is also behind the electrical connector. If the D4 indicator lights up while you are driving, you have an issue with the transmission. The switch can be replaced with a new one.
The transmission control module (TCM) software needs to be updated to fix an intermittent harsh/jerky upshift. This can be done through Acura’s new car limited warranty.

Seen from the window of a descending plane, or through the levitating bubble of a sightseeing helicopter, Manhattan's urban landscape resembles a silver forest of soaring skyscrapers, punctuated by the bright green blanket of Central Park. Seen from the water, the focus shifts to bridges, perimeter-skirting structures and that mesmerising skyline.
It comes as a surprise to learn Manhattan is a small island, a sliver of land surrounded by water. So huge does New York City's skyscraper-filled borough loom – culturally, cinematically, financially, architecturally – that it seems impossible she's not even a tenth the size of Tasmania.
Crammed within those 59 square kilometres are some of the most famous and easily recognised buildings in the world. From Beaux Arts beauties of the 19th century through to the futuristic works of today's "starchitects" including Renzo Piano, who designed the new Whitney Museum and Midtown's New York Times building, the city is a masterpiece of its own making. The Empire State Building, One World Observatory, the Chrysler Building, the gargantuan Hudson Yards project and so many more iconic landmarks on a grand scale define Manhattan. Such a grand scale, in fact, that a bit of distance is needed to take it all in.
The New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects figured there must be plenty of people who would like to learn about the city's built footprint from the comfort of a round-Manhattan cruise, especially if that cruise was enjoyed on board a 1920s-style yacht.
Teak-detailed and comfortably elegant, the vessels bring to mind a casual outing on Long Island with Jay Gatsby and co. Throw in a complimentary glass of champagne and some tasteful snacks, and it's as far away from a Statue of Liberty sightseeing booze cruise as you can get.
Now in its ninth season, the AIA cruise series is offered in association with Classic Harbor Line and departs from the fleet's marina at Chelsea Piers. Led by docents, authors and architecture experts, the tours feature running commentary – an impressive feat at almost three hours long.
The original Manhattan circumnavigation cruise, AIANY Around Manhattan Architecture Tour, is a 50-kilometre journey past more than 150 significant sites. As the yachts cruise along the Hudson, East and Harlem Rivers, guests follow along on a marked map. Even for those repeat visitors who feel they know Manhattan inside and out, the river vantage point brings fresh perspective. Gliding under some of New York City's 18 bridges and sailing by bustling waterfront parks including Governors Island, you can almost reach out and touch the passing scenery.
Due to the sell-out popularity of the cruises, four new routes have been curated. Guests can now choose to discover more about the architecture of the thriving Lower Manhattan district (a shorter, 90-minute cruise), they can delve into the engineering details of Manhattan's bridges and infrastructure, or they can step back in time with a focus on historically significant districts, monuments and buildings.
A voyage to Staten Island's Freshkills Park offers a rare insight into the waterway that has been closed to the public for more than 15 years. With ambitious long-term plans to transform this area into a vast multi-use urban park, New York City yet again proves to be the master of reinvention.
Kristie Kellahan travelled as a guest of Classic Harbor Line.
American Institute of Architects (AIA), in collaboration with Classic Harbor Line, offers five distinct expert-led NYC architecture tours on 1920s-style yachts departing from Chelsea Piers. Book well ahead, as tours often sell out. See sail-nyc.com.

This Easter has been wonderful. We have had sun every day and have been able to enjoy the sun outside on the porch. Well dressed of course because it is still very cold at night and in the shadows. But in the sun…………so wonderful and we have all got a little bit of sunburn too. Yesterday we made waffles outdoors.
Having full house all easter. First Hanne came for a sewing visit and then my son and his girlfriend came. And my daughters boyfriend has also been visiting us a lot. So wonderful to have my whole family home and to see that they are all happy.
I have finished quilting all the baskets on this quilt and have now traced the outher border.
And while sitting out on the porch and later watching movies yesterday I almost finished quilting one side. Today I will trace another side. This border is so fast to quilt.
Today is my last day of the easter vacation and it looks like it will be another beautiful sunny day out on the porch. The snow is melting fast and I hope that in a couple of weeks all snow is gone and we have spring.
Saying for today:

The only white meat: 7x7's Jessica Battilana takes porchetta head on, probing the trend that's made the sliced pork as common a sandwich filling as honey-roasted turkey. Exagerrating. Still, from the Ferry Building to Dogpatch, you can't swing a cat in this town without smacking some mention of the Tuscan set piece, in some form or other. What's the deal, asks Battilana. Could it be the media, or is that chefs can't keep their eyes on their own menus, like slacker kids cheating on the SAT? Well, sure.
Isn't it that the last half decade has shown us just how hard it is to source truly pastured beef -- and in general, just how problematic beef is -- but that humane, small-scale, arguably local pork production has blossomed? Besides, the whole hog movement has made us all friendly to pork, and face it, we're all suckers for Tuscany, even if we've never painted our kitchens some godawful orange we called Terra Cotta. Truth is, the brine-cured roast pork loin of the late '90s has simply morphed into porchetta, thanks in part to a few influential sources like Judy Rodgers (we suspect the cooks at Kitchenette, for instance, even use the recipe from The Zuni Café Cookbook). Battilana's right: Chefs are sensitive to language, and menuspeak -- like jeans -- is subject to fashion. Whiskered is out, baby. Schmears of garlic, herbs, and anchovy are the flesh equivalent of the boyfriend jean.

May 2004 - Philippine Supreme Court Decisions/Resolutions
People v. Alcanzado : 138335 : May 20, 2004 : J. Austria-Martinez : Second Division : Decision
[G.R. NO. 138335 : May 20, 2004]
THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Appellee, v. OSCAR ALCANZADO, Appellant.
D E C I S I O N
Before this Court is a Petition for Review on Certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court assailing the decision1 dated April 5, 1999 issued by the Regional Trial Court (Branch 66) of Makati City (RTC for brevity) in Criminal Case No. 98-1634, the dispositive portion of which reads:chanroblesvirtua1awlibrary
IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING, judgment is hereby rendered finding
accused OSCAR ALCANZADO y ORQUEZA GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt of MURDER,
with the qualifying circumstance of treachery, and the Court hereby sentences
him to suffer the penalty of Reclusion Perpetua and to pay the heirs of the
unidentified victim the sum of
P50,000.00 as moral damages.
Makati City, Metro Manila, April 5, 1999.2 cralawred
However, a careful examination of the records reveals that the assailed decision will have to be set aside and the records remanded back to the RTC for reception of evidence for the defense.
Appellant pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on July 30, 1998.Trial on the merits ensued.The prosecution rested its case on October 13, 1998.3 Upon motion of appellant, the RTC issued an Order dated November 10, 1998 allowing appellant to file a demurrer to evidence.4 On November 19, 1998, appellant filed his Demurrer to Evidence5 which was opposed by the prosecution.6 On April 22, 1999, the RTC promulgated herein assailed decision convicting appellant.7 cralawred
The RTC committed a very serious error in promulgating a decision after denying the demurrer to evidence filed by appellant upon prior leave of court, without first giving appellant the opportunity to present his evidence.
Section 15, Rule 119 of the Rules of Court provides:chanroblesvirtua1awlibrary
SEC. 15.Demurrer to evidence. After the prosecution has rested its case, the court may dismiss the case on the ground of insufficiency of evidence: (1) on its own initiative after giving the prosecution an opportunity to be heard; or (2) on motion of the accused filed with prior leave of court.
If the court denies the motion for dismissal, the accused may adduce evidence in his defense.When the accused filed such motion to dismiss without express leave of court, he waives the right to present evidence and submits the case for judgment on the basis of the evidence for the prosecution.
Contrary to the RTCs assertion in its decision that the demurrer to evidence was denied,8 the records of the case do not reveal that there was any prior order denying appellants demurrer to evidence before the rendition of the assailed judgment.Evidently, the trial court violated the aforequoted provisions of Section 15, Rule 119.Appellant had filed a motion for leave to file a demurrer to evidence which was granted by the RTC and therefore upon denial of his demurrer, if indeed it was denied, the trial court should have given appellant the opportunity to present his evidence.Equally astonishing is the fact that appellants counsel did not raise said irregularity as an issue in the RTC or in this Court.In effect, appellant has not been accorded due process.
Due to the procedural unfairness and complete miscarriage of justice in the handling of the proceedings in the RTC,9 a remand of the case for reception of defense evidence is warranted.The constitutional right of the accused to be heard on his defense has been violated.10 cralawred
So that appellant may be spared from further delay, the Court deems it necessary to treat the herein assailed judgment as a mere resolution denying the demurrer to evidence and ascertain whether the RTC has committed grave abuse of discretion in not granting the same.
The RTC made the following findings of fact and law, viz:chanroblesvirtua1awlibrary
In brief, the evidence for the prosecution show that on the early morning of June 17, 1998, the Barangay Tanods of Bel-Air, while on duty, which is adjacent to TGIF American Bar, heard two (2) shots; when they investigated they found a dead body of the victim with two (2) gunshot wounds inside the storeroom of TGIF being guarded by the accused.The accused, who was the security guard of the TGIF, surrendered his service firearm (Exhibit D) to policeman Bagon which was found to have spent two (2) spent shells.The ballistic report states that the two (2) spent shells were fired from the gun surrendered by the accused to policeman Bagon.
The accused opted to file demurrer to evidence which was denied by the Court, instead of testifying and could have explained what really happened and why he surrendered his service firearm.
The Court finds the presence of a qualifying circumstance of treachery, when the accused fired at the victim one on his shoulder and another at his head in close range (TSN dated October 13, 1998, p. 36). 11 cralawred
There was no eye-witness to the shooting incident.The RTC relied principally on the admission of appellant to the police officer that he shot the unknown victim when he surrendered his service firearm.
In his demurrer to evidence, appellant pointed out the following:chanroblesvirtua1awlibrary
I.There is no evidence that the firearm marked and offered as Exhibit D belonged or was assigned to the accused.
II.There is no evidence that the accused had recently fired a gun in the early morning of June 17, 1998.
III.There is no evidence that the firearm marked and offered as Exhibit D was the same firearm that killed the unknown victim in this case.
IV.There is reasonable doubt that the body examined by the medico-legal witness was the same body recovered from the scene of the killing.
V. The extrajudicial admission made by the accused to the police officer and his alleged voluntary surrender of the .38 caliber revolver cannot be admitted in evidence against the accused for having been obtained in violation of his constitutional rights.
VI.Without any admission on the part of the accused or an unbroken chain of incriminating circumstances, the accused is entitled to acquittal since the prosecution failed to prove his culpability for the death of the unknown victim here beyond a reasonable doubt.12 cralawred
Considering that the first four items as above enumerated involve questions of fact, the Court will not pre-empt the RTC in rendering its findings of fact after it shall have received the defense evidence as well as rebuttal and sur-rebuttal evidence, if parties find it necessary.
However, the Court is constrained to resolve the question arising from the fifth and sixth claims of appellant, which is:Whether or not the admission made by appellant to the police officer is admissible in evidence.It is the only link that would positively connect appellant to the shooting of the victim, for the service gun may belong to him and it may have been used in the shooting of the victim, but the missing link is the ascertainment of whether he was the one who shot the victim.Without the testimony of the police officer that appellant had verbally acknowledged to him having shot the victim, the herein-before quoted circumstantial evidence enumerated by the RTC do not support the conviction of appellant beyond reasonable doubt.
Section 12 (1) and (3), Article III of the 1987 Constitution provides:chanroblesvirtua1awlibrary
Section 12.(1) Any person under investigation for the commission of an offense shall have the right to be informed of his right to remain silent and to have competent and independent counsel preferably of his own choice.If the person cannot afford the services of counsel, he must be provided with one.The rights cannot be waived except in writing and in the presence of counsel.
(3) Any confession or admission obtained in violation of this or the preceding section shall be inadmissible in evidence against him.
The rights of the accused as provided therein may be invoked only when a person is under custodial investigation or is in custody investigation13 which has been defined as the questioning initiated by law enforcement officers after a person has been taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom of action in any significant way [People v. Caguioa, G.R. No. L-38975, January 17, 1980, 95 SCRA 2, 9 citing Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436].14 cralawred
SPO1 Rolando Bagon, the police officer of Precinct 9, Makati City, who responded to the report of the shooting incident, testified as follows:chanroblesvirtua1awlibrary
Q: What time did you arrive there at TGI Fridays Restaurant?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
A: When we arrived there it was at around 5:15 to 6:00.
A: June 17, Sir.
Q: When you arrived there, what did you do, Mr. Witness?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
A: The barangay tanod present at that time pointed to us and turned over to us the alleged suspect who is the security guard of the said establishment then we went to the security guard and he voluntarily surrendered himself to us, together with the firearm, a .38 caliber.
Q: What did he tell you when he surrendered and gave to you his .38 caliber Mr. Witness?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
A: That he allegedly hold (sic) a robber inside while stealing according to him a cash register of the bar and some assorted goods.
Q: Who told you that?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
A: The security guard, the alleged suspect Sir.
Q: What else did he tell you?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
A: Nothing Sir, he fired his gun at the victim.
Q: After the said accused surrendered himself and his firearm, what else did you do at the said bar?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
A: Sir, we invited him to our precinct to shed light or to answer what he committed.15 (Emphasis supplied).
and, on his cross-examination, he testified as follows:chanroblesvirtua1awlibrary
Q: Is it not true that when the accused Oscar Alcanzado in this case approached you, he was not evasive and that he voluntarily turned over the firearm and his person to you?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
A: Yes, Sir.16 cralawred
The cross-examination of homicide investigator PO2 Rio S. Bucalan who proceeded to the shooting incident, revealed the following:chanroblesvirtua1awlibrary
Q: Mr. Witness, when you arrived at the scene of the incident in questioned in this case, is it correct to say that you conducted the investigation right there and then?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
A: Yes sir.
And at that scene at that time was the accused in this case, Osca Alcanzado, is that correct?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
Mr. Witness, isnt it also true that at that time you conducted an investigation you spoke with the accused in this case?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
And when you spoke to the accused, did you tell him about his right to remain silent and his right to counsel?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
He is not still turn-over to me by the police officer.
Mr. Witness, so at that time that you conducted your investigation, you spoke to the accused?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
And did you tell him about his right to remain silent and his right to counsel?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
In fact I dont know that he is the accused during my initial inquiry.
But you knew that he was a Security Guard?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
And so could you tell us what happened when you talked to him?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
During the initial inquiry he claimed that. .. . he verbally claimed that he shot the victim because of self-defense.
He claimed that he shot the victim?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
Yes, Your Honor.
And this was in the course of your investigation, correct?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
And the accused in this case, did not execute any written waiver of his right to remain silent, is that correct?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
And also the accused in this case did not execute any written waiver of his right to counsel, is that correct?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
What do you mean no?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
He did not execute, sir.
And it is also correct that the time he was talking to you there was no lawyer present assisting the accused, is that correct?chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
Yes sir.17 cralawred
Under the above circumstances, the Court finds that while the admission made by appellant to PO2 Bucalan may not be admitted in evidence considering that the alleged verbal admission made by appellant before him as homicide investigator was made without appellant being informed of his right to remain silent and right to counsel and after appellant had been established as the suspect by the police officers who had arrived at the scene of the crime before PO2 Bucalan came.
However, the Court cannot disregard the testimony of SPO1 Bagon who, together with his co-police officers, responded to the call of the barangay tanod and immediately upon his arrival, appellant spontaneously told him that he had shot the victim.This particular admission was made when appellant has not been taken into custody by the police officers and therefore admissible in evidence.The constitutional procedures on custodial investigation do not apply to a spontaneous statement not elicited through questioning by the authoritiesbut given in an ordinarymanner whereby the accused readily admitted having committed the crime.18 cralawred
Consequently, for purposes of determining whether the demurrer to evidence should have been granted, the connection between the service gun and appellant as the perpetrator of the shooting, without any countervailing evidence, had been sufficiently established.Thus, the RTC did not commit any grave abuse of discretion in denying the demurrer to evidence BUT it committed grave abuse of discretion in outrightly convicting appellant of the crime of murder and sentencing him to suffer reclusion perpetua when appellant has not been given the opportunity to adduce evidence in his defense, pursuant to Section 15, Rule 119 of the Rules of Court.
Further, the attendant justifying, mitigating or aggravating circumstance such as self-defense, treachery and voluntary surrender could only be ascertained fully after the defense evidence, rebuttal and sur-rebuttal, if any, shall have been adduced and evaluated by the RTC in the rendition of its judgment on the case.
Had Presiding Judge Rosario, Jr. not compulsorily retired from the Judiciary, he could have been admonished to be more circumspect in the performance of his duties.
WHEREFORE, the petition is GRANTED.The decision dated April 5, 1999 of the Regional Trial Court (Branch 66), Makati City is SET ASIDE for being null and void.Let the records of Criminal Case No. 98-1634 be remanded to said trial court for reception of defense evidence and further proceedings.The presiding judge is directed to conduct the trial of the case and render judgment thereon with immediate dispatch.

Oxford Learning Centres Launch Online Learning Program Virtual Table™
For immediate release
London, ON—Oxford Learning Centres, Inc. announced all the launch of its newest online learning platform, Virtual Table™.
“The Virtual Table™ model has been in the works for the last couple of years,” said Lenka Whitehead, President Oxford Learning Centres, Inc. “However, given the current global pandemic, school closures and instability, our Head Office team, with the help of many of our franchisees, rushed to complete the launch of this very effective learning model to make it available to our families and students.”
According to Whitehead, the pilot program, in trials over the last several months, showed positive gains in learning skills and in academics for all students in attendance. With schools closed indefinitely, and closures of other child-directed programs as a result of COVID-19, remote learning programs have quickly become the norm for many families.
“We hope that by launching the Virtual Table™ program now, we will be able to not only help keep our students on track academically, but also offer a bit of the daily academic structure that students are already familiar with,” said Whitehead. “Our centres are receiving extremely positive feedback from students who have tried the Virtual Table program and from parents looking to provide at-home academic learning program solutions with our proprietary curriculum. for their children. Social distancing and keeping everyone healthy is our priority,” she adds.
“We understand that this is a time of uncertainty for all of us. Parents will be particularly concerned as the current climate may be especially alarming for children who may be feeling unsettled or insecure by the rapid change to their regular routines. Our social media channels will have regular updates and different free learning and thinking activities for students and parents. Parents will not be required to sign up or give us their personal information.” she added.
“This is an incredible time that we are in,” said Whitehead. “While the overall climate and the uncertainty about what the future holds is unclear, we have seen marvellous work being done both by the team here at Oxford Learning and by educators everywhere. It is both a privilege and an honour to witness such an amazing coming together by the education community. We are here to help in any way we can.”

Halloween in Ireland
Scarier than Ever Before
9/11/2014 by Haunted Bay's Roaming Correspondent
Dublin, Ireland is not exactly in the San Francisco Bay Area, but the city is host to the Bram Stoker Festival and how could we not mention that! Taking the legacy of Dublin horror novelist Bram Stoker and his gothic novel Dracula as inspiration, the festival serves up entertainment and scares for all ages. Haunted Bay’s secret roaming correspondent was brave enough to attend in 2013 and offered this look at the fun (she’ll be attending this year’s Festival too (Oct. 24-27, 2014) so expect an update!):
It's not surprising that Halloween is so embraced in Dublin, Ireland given the holiday's Celtic roots via its traditional pagan festival Samhain (pronounced sow-in, Gaelic for summer's end), which marks the end of the harvest season and a time of year when the days get shorter, spirits and faeries were believed to be particularly prevalent and mischievous, and the dead walk the earth. Dublin celebrates the ancient festival with a traditional Halloween Parade that ends up in - where else - Temple Bar, and is punctuated with fireworks.
But just days earlier, Dublin offers up an appetizer of horror with its Bram Stoker Festival. Bram Stoker, best known for writing Dracula, was born in Dublin where he spent the first 31 years of his life. Most people, however, don't think of Stoker as an Irish writer given that he began to publish after he left Ireland for London. The festival provides Dublin with the perfect opportunity for Ireland to reclaim Stoker. It has something for everyone - cultural and horror events alike. In 2013 the packed event schedule included films, music, performance art, intellectual panel discussions, and an interactive vampire hunt. The festival merges perfectly with Dublin's love of Halloween, ghost tours, and Irish folklore. Even days before Halloween, Temple Bar was full of costumed revelers pub-hopping.
The Bram Stoker Festival was inaugurated in 2012 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Stoker's death. Dublin has committed to at least five years for an annual Stoker festival. So, if you're looking for an immersive Halloween experience, Dublin may be the place for you to mingle with the undead.

Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative '2.0' involves a recommitment to setting transportation goals
HCEI 2.0, the next phase of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative that set goals for the state to receive 70 percent of its electricity from renewable energy by 2030, involves a recommitment to a set of transportation goals, a move to confront new challenges in going beyond 40 percent and reassessing efficiency goals, the head of the state Energy Office told PBN in an exclusive interview this week.
Mark Glick, administrator of the state Energy Office, said that the new transportation roadmap goals will look at ways to reduce the amount of fuel the state uses.
Transportation accounts for more than 60 percent of the energy consumed in Hawaii, and while air transportation uses the largest portion — nearly 40 percent — trucks, buses, and cars consume roughly 20 percent.
“We will come up with a more realistic plan,” he said. “It’s time we address that. Hopefully we will have a committed group.”
Glick said it plans to look at both long-term and short-term solutions.
“This is a [more than 30 year] effort on the transportation side,” he said.
Some progress in this area has already been made, considering the hydrogen fuel test stations at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Windward Oahu and on the Big Island.
The analysis includes fuels that can bring down pricing, including liquefied natural gas or LNG.
“We’re undergoing in Hawaii, the greatest energy transformation since the introduction of oil,” Glick said. “That really involves adjusting our vision of our energy future. We are totally committed to go beyond the renewable energy goal of 40 percent.”

Winston Churchill once said, “You make a living by what you earn and a community by what you give.” Ottawa’s homebuilders couldn’t agree more. That’s why we are coming together in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Canada and Algonquin College to build a house over the course of three days.
From April 4-6, 2014, Ottawa’s homebuilders will be in the Havencrest community of Barrhaven, building a two-storey, 1,800-square-foot house. Given the scope of what we are about to accomplish, we thought it fitting to call it the Blitz Build!
The Blitz Build house will be sold and the proceeds will be donated to support Habitat for Humanity in the National Capital Region. Habitat for Humanity is a national organization that mobilizes volunteers and community partners to build affordable housing and promote homeownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty. If you’d like to help, you can donate online at Habitat for Humanity’s National Capital Region website at: http://www.habitatncr.com/
Tartan Homes, long recognized for its charitable efforts, is one of the principal Blitz Build donors. The home is being built by a team of volunteers from the many trades and suppliers to Ottawa’s home building industry. Building trades companies contributing time and effort to the Blitz Build include Three Codes Electrical, Harding Mechanical and Jacques Bédard Excavation.
Donors of supplies to the Blitz Build include Kott Lumber, Laurysen Kitchens, and Merkley Supply. Donors of building supplies and trades include Barwood Hardword Flooring, Capital Cellars and Stairworld.
How can you get involved?
If you’d like to help, you can donate online at Habitat for Humanity’s National Capital Region Website at: http://www.habitatncr.com/
Why are Ottawa’s Homebuilders participating in the Blitz Build?
Homebuilders have a proud tradition of giving back to the community. You’d be hard-pressed to find a charitable or community sector in Ottawa that has not received help from a member of the homebuilding community.
Homebuilders give back to the Ottawa community for three main reasons. For starters, we do it because we can, and because it is the right thing to do. We believe that building a great city is about more than having beautiful homes, it’s about fostering vibrant and healthy communities. Our communities need health care services, sports and recreation programs, social services, educational opportunities and community services.
Homebuilders give to causes because of the great work that they do. Habitat for Humanity provides people with affordable housing and promotes homeownership as a way to escape poverty. Ottawa’s homebuilders share Habitat for Humanity’s commitment to affordable housing and homeownership. We work every day to make affordable homeownership a reality for people.
And finally, we do it because it is good for us and for our industry. Caring for people in need means that the families of the 25,000 Ottawans who work in the homebuilding industry can live in happy, healthy and vibrant communities.

If you like the Boker Magnum series then you'll love the Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops SW50 automatic knives. These knives feature great quality and action at a low price.
The SW50BTS has a black finished 440 stainless steel tanto style blade with a partially serrated edge. The black coated aluminum handle features grooves to increase grip and a tip-down stainless steel pocket clip for easy carry. The push button quickly deploys the blade and this new version of the SW50 has a front mounted safety!
Don't carry this knife in your pocket hoping the lock will prevent the blade from accidentally opening. The lock on my knife works best at preventing me from closing the knife easily one handed. I fixed the problem by pulling the lock out of the knife with needle nose pliers. I can use the knife one handed. If I lose it, well it didn't cost much. It gets used more than my Microtech, or Gaurdian tactical OTF D/A knives as I don't mind abusing it. So far so good.
Bought this to replace an 8 year old SW50TS, made before S&W bought Taylor brands. Knife quality is nothing like the older model. Much lighter weight and feels very cheap compared to previous Extreme OPs knives. Used this knife 3 times, safety slider fell out. Returned less than a week after purchase. Unfortunately, it appears as though S&W has ruined a very good product line.

In a clear demonstration of the rapid roll-out of gigabit services to locations outside of the larger metropolitan areas in the UK, Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has completed the first phase of work to bring full-fibre broadband to Doncaster in South Yorkshire, while just across to the east of northern England, wholesale-only fibre network operator MS3 Networks has expanded its full-fibre coverage to over 60,000 premises across Lincolnshire, including homes in Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire.
The Doncaster roll-out by VMO2 means residents can now access gigabit services for the first time, offering top speeds of 1.130 Gbps, a rating the provider said will be up to 20 times faster than the local average and “perfect” for households working remotely. Virgin Media’s services are now available locally, following a multi-million-pound investment from Nexfibre to build new full-fibre connections in the area.
Nexfibre is the result of a £4.5bn investment from VMO2 shareholders Liberty Global and Telefónica, alongside investment firm InfraVia Capital Partners. Its launch is designed to create the UK’s first national-scale fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) challenger to BT Openreach, boosting choice and competition in the market. Nexfibre will initially roll out fibre to five million homes not currently served by Virgin Media O2’s network by 2026, with the opportunity to expand to an additional two million homes. VMO2 aims to have a fibre footprint reaching 80% of the UK when coupled with its own fibre upgrade plans, which complete in 2028.
Commenting on what the deployment could mean to the region, Doncaster Central MP Rosie Winterton said: “I welcome the latest investment in Doncaster that will ensure my constituents have access to some of the fastest broadband speeds in the UK. It was great to meet with representatives from Virgin Media O2 to discuss the progress they have made so far, as well as the plans they have to make gigabit broadband available to even more residents in the area.”
“More than 5,000 homes and businesses in Doncaster can now feel the benefit of Virgin Media’s services – with packages that include everything from next-generation gigabit broadband to easy-to-use TV streaming and entertainment services,” added Julie Agnew, managing director of fixed network expansion at Virgin Media O2.
“These ultra-reliable full-fibre-to-the-home broadband connections come with speeds up to 20 times faster than the local average – providing local people with total peace of mind that whatever they’re doing online, their connection won’t slow them down.”
For its part, MS3 said its growing network will enable economic expansion across the Lincolnshire region by facilitating gigabit broadband speeds while delivering more choice of service provider to local people. MS3 offers fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) connectivity, which facilitates speeds of 1 Gbps, compared with the 80 Mbps available through the more common fibre-to-the-cabinet connectivity.
Read more about UK broadband
- UK lags behind in European FTTP take-up and average broadband speeds: Ookla analysis into progress made by the EU against the bloc’s Digital Decade 2030 strategic objectives finds the UK continues to be at the tail end of European countries’ Q3 2023 median fixed performance rankings.
- Need for ‘significant’ public and private investment in UK infrastructure: Second long-term review sets out role of digital infrastructure in supporting economic growth in UK, but stresses importance of government continuing to support network competition and market deployment.
- Project Gigabit ‘failing to deliver’: Research finds half of UK homes with unusable broadband have yet to receive funding from flagship government scheme to develop gigabit connectivity across UK, especially hard-to-reach areas.
- Neos Networks expands fibre net with London, Manchester datacentre estates: UK connectivity provider brings Telehouse South and Equinix MA5 on-net to its commercial datacentre, offering reliable, resilient and secure connectivity to UK financial services hub.
It added that the North Lincolnshire communities that will benefit from MS3’s FTTP roll-out have historically endured poor connectivity, often excluding them from the digital economy. Boasting a network of over 30 ISP partners, the expansion facilitates more choice in broadband provider, with increased competition helping to drive down prices.
With expansion into Scunthorpe nearing completion, the company said the research it commissioned calculates that the finished network could add up to £9m to Scunthorpe’s GDP and create up to 100 local jobs. In addition to offering greater internet speeds, it said the roll-out could also offer savings to both local businesses and residents through MS3’s partnerships with ISPs across the area.
With the rise of homeworking, MS3 said companies are increasingly open to hiring from outside big cities. It cited a CIPD report showing 48% of employers that are “open to location” had recruited from a wider geography in 2022. MS3 is confident full-fibre broadband that can handle homeworking provides an excellent opportunity for North Lincolnshire to retain skilled workers and avoid “brain drain”, where university-educated young people leave in search of jobs.
“Supporting economic growth across regions that are at risk of digital exclusion is a hugely important part of our work at MS3,” said MS3 Networks CEO Guy Miller. “Access to full-fibre broadband not only attracts new businesses to an area, but also encourages local talent to stay, which is key in driving the economy of regions such as North Lincolnshire.”
“Fast, reliable broadband is vital for local people and businesses,” said Tim Mitchell, North Lincolnshire Council’s cabinet member for connectivity. “With the rise in people working from home, this superfast broadband opens up a world of opportunity for local people. It is also a key factor when attracting new businesses to the area and helping current ones grow. The council continues to work with leading companies like MS3 Networks to bring fast connections to local areas.”

Touching story of girl, 8, who had radiation every day for a MONTH... and how newly-discovered gene could beat brain cancer
- Elizabeth Doughty, 8, discovered an aggressive tumour that nearly spread to her brain when she was five and has left her with half her eyesight
- Her mother Natasha, had a gut feeling something was gravely wrong
- Elizabeth underwent chemotherapy once a month for a year and radiation and general anaesthetic for 28 days straight
- Although the cancer was eradicated, it could return at any time
- Head researchers discovered a gene that may halt cancer in its tracks
It appeared to be a minor persistent cold, but Natasha Doughty had a gut feeling that something was gravely wrong with her five-year-old daughter.
After seeing three doctorstold she only had a sinus infection, Mrs Doughty took Elizabeth to the children's hospital where they scanned her and confirmed she had a life-threatening tumour known as rhabdomyosarcoma.
'That's when my whole world was turned upside down,' Mrs Doughty, from Castle Hill, western Sydney, told Daily Mail Australia.
Even though doctors told Natasha Doughty (centre) her daughter Elizabeth (left with sisters Olivia and Jacinta far right) just had a cold, she knew something was wrong
Elizabeth's family live in constant fear of the tumour returning as if it does, the survival rates are extremely low
Mrs Doughty took Elizabeth, 8, to the hospital where they discovered a tumour the size of a lime in her head
'Your life is quite normal one day and then you're in this catastrophic event.'
Three days after she was admitted to the Children's Hospital, Westmead in Sydney, Elizabeth's eye began to bulge and although it was subdued with radiation, she permanently lost sight in her right eye.
The tumour, which was the size of a large lime, was touching her brain at the time and positioned in her eye orbit.
It had intercranium extension with tentacles from the mass about to reach into her brain.
She underwent a painful lumbar puncture and an entire year of chemotherapy.
But the most difficult procedure Elizabeth endured was 28 straight days of radiation.
'Everyday for a month she would have to have general anaesthetic, followed by a mask placed on her face and screwed into the bed to radiate her head,' Mrs Doughty said.
The tumour was touching her brain at the time through intercranium extension and positioned in her eye orbit
Three days after being admitted, Elizabeth's eye bulged and she permanently lost sight from her right eye
The most difficult procedure that Elizabeth endured was 28 straight days of radiation where she underwent general anaesthetic followed by a mask placed on her face and screwed into the bed to radiate her head
She also underwent painful lumbar punctures and an entire year of chemotherapy that fell on every Tuesday
'It's hard, I have to manage my anxiety levels and act normal and positive, but it's still with you everyday.'
The extensive course of radiation managed to shrink the tumour and the chemotherapy eradicated it, leaving Elizabeth in the clear.
Although the cancer has only a seven out of ten chance of returning, if it does, the survival rates are extremely low.
'We will be walking around on eggshells for the next two to five years,' Mrs Doughty said.
However, not all future cancer stories may require treatments as invasive as Elizabeth's.
Head researcher Dr Christine Napier at the Children's Medical Research Institute have discovered an ATRX gene that has the potential to halt the progression of the most aggressive forms of cancer.
'Normal cells have a clock that counts down and tells the cell how long it can grow for and in normal cells that clock will run out and the cell will die,' post-doctoral Fellow Dr Christine Napier told Daily Mail Australia.

Head researchers at the Children's Medical Research Institute have discovered an ATRX gene that has the potential to halt the progression of the most aggressive forms of cancer
Dr Napier has studied this mechanism that aggressive forms of cancer use called the ALT mechanism
If Dr Napier's research is to progress, invasive treatments such as radiation may be eradicated
'Cancer cells can grow forever and hijack this clock to keep it ticking and ticking.'
Dr Napier has extensively studied this mechanism that aggressive forms of cancer use called the ALT mechanism and has also found that normal cells have a locking device, preventing them from letting most diseases in.
The mechanism is used by 10 percent of aggressive cancers, including rhabdomyosarcoma.
'The gene could halt these cancers in their tracks, because cells are missing this lock we are hoping this is what makes these cells more vulnerable.'
If Dr Napier's research is to progress, invasive treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy may be eradicated and be replaced by treatments that specifically target the cancer cells, keeping the normal cells intact.
The replacement would be treatments that specifically target the cancer cells, keeping the normal cells intact
'Your life is quite normal one day and then you're in this catastrophic event,' Mrs Doughty said
Although the adjustment to losing half of her eyesight has been difficult for Elizabeth (pictured here with her two sisters, Jacinta and Olivia), she is extremely happy
Although the adjustment to losing half of her eyesight has been difficult for Elizabeth, it has not stopped her being a typical eight-year-old.
'She rides her bike, she plays cricket and soccer... to just look at her, you'd have no idea anything was wrong,' Mrs Doughty said.
'She's absolutely inspirational.'
