ORLANDO — The top prosecutor for metro Orlando said today she is no longer going to seek the death penalty, igniting condemnation from some state lawmakers and law-enforcement officials but also praise from some civil-liberties groups.
State Attorney Aramis Ayala said she had decided to no longer seek the death penalty in first-degree murder cases after conducting a review. The most visible case immediately affected by Ayala’s decision is that of Markeith Loyd, who is charged in the killings of his pregnant ex-girlfriend and an Orlando police lieutenant.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina said in a statement that he was “extremely upset.”
“The heinous crimes that he committed in our community are the very reason that we have the death penalty as an option under the law,” Mina said.
Ayala said at a news conference that there is no evidence of improved public safety for citizens or law enforcement with the death penalty and that such cases are costly and drag on for years.
“I have given this issue extensive, painstaking thought and consideration,” she said. “What has become abundantly clear through this process is that while I do have discretion to pursue death sentences, I have determined that doing so is not in the best interests of this community or in the best interests of justice.”
Ayala’s decision comes just days after Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill requiring a unanimous jury recommendation before the death penalty can be imposed.
Legal questions about Florida’s death penalty law during the past year brought executions to a halt.
The U.S. Supreme Court in January 2016 declared the state’s death penalty sentencing law unconstitutional because it gave too much power to judges to make the ultimate decision.
The Legislature responded by overhauling the law to let the death penalty be imposed by at least a 10-2 jury vote.
In October, however, the state Supreme Court voted 5-2 to strike down the new law and require unanimous jury decisions for capital punishment.
Florida Rep. Bob Cortes said he was “outraged” by the decision not to pursue the death penalty in Loyd’s case.
But Adora Obi Nweze, president Florida State Conference NAACP, said it was a step in the right direction.
“Ending use of the death penalty in Orange County is a step toward restoring a measure of trust and integrity in our criminal justice system,” she said.

Having studied at Marburg and Jena, he for some time lived at Leipzig as a private tutor; but in 1802 he was appointed professor at Marburg, and two years later professor of philology and ancient history at Heidelberg. The latter position he held for nearly forty-five years, with the exception of a short time spent at the university of Leiden, where his health was affected by the Dutch climate. He was one of the principal founders of the Philological Seminary established at Heidelberg in 1807. The Academy of Inscriptions of Paris appointed him one of its members, and from the grandduke of Baden he received the dignity of privy councillor.
Creuzer's first and most famous work was his Symbolik und Mythologie der alten Völker, besonders der Griechen (1810-1812), in which he maintained that the mythology of Homer and Hesiod came from an Eastern source through the Pelasgians, and was the remains of the symbolism of an ancient revelation. This work was vigorously attacked by Hermann in his Briefen über Homer und Hesiod, and in his letter, addressed to Creuzer, Über das Wesen und die Behandlung der Mythologie; by JH Voss in his Antisymbolik; and by Lobek in his Aglaophamos.

Some €70 bn in non performing loans ready to be ceded by Italy’s main banks
The European Commission, the OECD, Economy Minister Piercarlo Padoan, EBA President Andrea Enria, Bank of Italy Vice Governor Fabio Panetta, and the Fitch ratings agency. One after another, like a chorus, they all spoke out on the same theme this week: non-performing loans, which are still one of the obstacles to Europe’s recovery and, therefore, need to be disposed of as soon as possible.
Especially in Italy, which holds the unenviable record of the biggest stock of NPLs in Europe: according to the Italian Banking Association (ABI), there has been €86.9 billion in net losses through December 31st—roughly a quarter of the Old World’s total, according to EBA. As the OECD cautioned in its Economic Survey on Tuesday, the Italian banking system is still “vulnerable” and needs to be safeguarded “urgently.”
Fitch piled it on even higher the day after, confirming the sector’s negative outlook due its the difficulties in “mitigating the growing burden of non-performing loans on capital.”
Disposing often means devaluing, and therefore writing off losses at a capital level: so far, this has been enough to lead banks to proceed with caution. Currently, there is a total of €70.4 billion in gross NPLs ready to be ceded by Italy’s main banks: practically speaking, more than 20% of all stocks in gross non-performing loans.
The UniCredit factor
Have we reached the day of reckoning? Yes, maybe this time. The reason is simple: the first big divestiture operation has already been set in motion. It should have been Monte dei Paschi’s (MPS)—which, back in the autumn, was ready to launch the mega-securitization of €28.5 billion that underpinned its recovery plan. But the plan was scuttled, and Siena even failed in their attempt to break into the NPL market.
And so, essentially, the buck was passed to UniCredit: just as MPS was beating a hasty retreat in mid-December, Jean Pierre Mustier’s bank presented a similarly-aggressive plan for NPLs—voluntarily, however, and not because they were required by the ECB. This plan was launched in mid-January, in tandem with a €13 billion increase in capital: it’s called the “Fino” project, and it calls for €17 billion in NPLs to leave the bank and be dispersed among several ad hoc vehicles that (by the end of the year) will begin to issue securities, the majority of which will end up at Pimco and Fortress (their “travel companions”).
The operation is decisive, since getting rid of a large quantity of NPLs would essentially allow the market to deduct the most sizeable amounts.
Even though, obviously, the price will leave a mark: €17 billion in gross NPLs, a large portion of which came from Capitalia, will be transferred to these vehicles at 12.9% of their face value (according to what the bank reported in a footnote at the presentation of their 2016 accounts). Very, very little. But, as previously stated, this is old credit and dubious guarantees—therefore, they can’t automatically be considered a ‘benchmark’ by any means.
The other packets being offloaded
It’s true that UniCredit, which has gotten rid of €9 billion in gross NPLs over the last four years, is looking to sell even more: their plan for 2019 talks about another €5 billion in divestitures. Even Intesa Sanpaolo is tightening their grip: at the presentation of 2016’s accounts, CEO Carlo Messina revealed that they will have an ad hoc NPL plan within the next few quarters. In the meantime, he issued a target NPL ratio for 2019 (from 14.7% to 10.5% gross) and hinted at essentially another €200 million in investments in Capital Light Bank, which has already (in just three years) offloaded €20 billion in non-core assets (a good deal of which were NPLs) and—just in recent weeks—has been negotiating the divestiture of €2 billion gross (secured and unsecured).
And then there’s MPS. The NPL factor will be one of the key points in their new business plan, which will be approved by the board of directors in early March and then presented in Brussels and Frankfurt, in order to gain approval for the state’s investment. It’s already theorized that the release of €28.5 billion in NPLs figures into the securitization that they’ve looked into with Mediobanca and J.P. Morgan, although this wouldn’t exclude ‘shock treatment’ for a gross total of more than €40 billion.
MPS should act by this summer, when REV—the bad bank that holds €10.3 billion in gross NPLs from the old Banca Marche, Etruria, Carife, and CariChieri—will launch their first divestitures: they will end their data collection in the next few weeks, and hold their first auctions within the upcoming months.
Last but not least, the ‘megacenter’ created by Veneto Banca and Popolare di Vicenza should liquidate about €10 billion in NPL stock as well.

Florida Debt Recovery Law Firm
The Gebeloff Law Group is not a collection agency. In past blog posts we have discussed the difference between a commercial collection agency and a law firm that concentrates its practice on debt collection. A collection agency is not licensed to practice debt collection law. Collection attorneys are licensed in the State of Florida to practice law. The collection lawyers focus on debt recovery and collection. Just like a commercial collection agency our collection attorneys are able to send demand letters for payment of money due to your company.

Florida Collection Attorney Gebeloff
Collection Lawyers Versus Collection Agencies
When collecting debt, your company should be aware of the differences between using a collection agency to collect your company’s money versus using the collection lawyers at a debt collection law firm. Collection agencies are very limited in what they can legally do to attempt to collect past due accounts. Collection agencies can only send demand letters and make debt collection phone calls. A collection lawyer not only is able to make collection calls to recover past due accounts, but can send demand letters for payment. The power of a collection lawyer signing a demand letter for payment has a much bigger impact than a debtor receiving a demand letter from a collection agency. When a debtor receives a letter from a collection lawyer, they are made aware that litigation may be imminent to collect on the debt.
Call Our Collection Lawyer
We encourage you to call our Florida debt collection law firm and ask to speak to our collection lawyer. Our collection lawyer will take the time to understand your particular debt collection needs. Working directly with our collection lawyer, our debt recovery law firm will be able to devise a collection strategy that is just right for your company on each case to help your company achieve a higher rate of collecting past due account receivable.
As the economy continues to struggle, our debt collection attorneys continue to contact businesses attempting to collect money on past due accounts. Our collection lawyers are finding many honest business owners admitting to owing the debt, but because of their own personal cash flow struggles are not able to pay the debt in a lump sum payment. Our debt collection law firm is entering into many debt repayment plans. Creditors should keep in mind that until a matter is in in suit, there is no real teeth in the debt repayment plan. Many times, our collection attorney will recommend starting suit to recover money and then enter into a repayment plan secured by a court order.
Florida Collection Attorney Gebeloff
Collection agencies are unable to start suit to collect money. A collection agency is not licensed to practice debt collection law. Collection agencies send out a series of collection letters and then attempt to collect money by making repeated phone calls. Many times a collection agency will try to collect the account for an extended period of time when in reality a debt collection attorney will be more effective. The debt collection law firm is able to file a lawsuit to collect past due accounts. The collection lawyer will then be able to either settle the account or secure a judgment for the amount that is owed.
Use a Florida Collection Attorney to Collect Money
Once judgment is entered, there are many different post judgment options that our collection attorney will discuss with you. Simply a collection agency is limited in what it can do to collect money. Collection agencies do have their purpose, but creditors typically find that placing an account for collection with a collection attorney has many advantages over placing an account for collection with a commercial collection agency.
In past blogs, we have discussed the difference between using a Florida commercial collection agency rather than a Florida debt collection attorney. Collection agencies are not licensed to practice debt collection law. A collection agency typically will make collection calls and send a few collection letters to your customer to collect your money. If the collection agency is not successful, they then have to charge you a higher contingency fee and send the case to a collection lawyer.
Florida collection law firm
A debt collection law firm contacting your customer first to make demand for payment, has a bigger impact than your customer receiving a collection letter from a commercial collection agency. A debt collection lawyer after sending a demand letter and calling your customer demanding payment, can then recommend that a lawsuit be started to recover the money that is owed to your company.
Florida Debt Recovery Law Firm
Once a lawsuit is started to recover your money, your company now has greater control over the debt collection process. Your customer will either recognize the debt and attempt to make payment arrangements with our office – hire an attorney, if there is a legitimate dispute to the debt or ignore the debt collection lawsuit. If the lawsuit is ignored, your company would be entitled to have a default judgment entered against your customer for the amount of the open invoices, costs and interest as allowed under Florida Law.
Florida Collection Attorneys – Lawyers
To learn more about the debt collection process and about how our Florida collection attorneys may be able to help your company recovery its money, we encourage you to contact us and ask to speak to one of our collection attorneys. Working together, we will devise a debt recovery strategy that is just right for your company.
Implementing an effective debt collection strategy for your company
Collection Attorney, Stephen Gebeloff is set to release his eBook to help companies with internal debt collection and external debt collection policies and procedures. The eBook is entitled “Collecting Account Receivables.” The eBook was written to help companies tighten up their internal collection procedures. The sub-title of the debt collection book is “Don’t Let Your Company’s Money Burn.”
Guide to Internal Debt Collection Procedures
The debt collection attorneys at our commercial collection law firm believe that if more companies were more proactive with their internal procedures relating to collecting their past due accounts, they would find that there would be a higher rate of recovery on accounts that they extend credit to.
The eBook discusses the differences between collection agencies and collection law firms. Using a commercial collection agency can be useful in some situations. However, credit managers should be mindful that a collection agency is not licensed to practice law. When using collection agencies, if the collection agency is unable to collect on an account, they then must send the file to a commercial collection law firm. The collection agency will charge your company a higher contingency fee as the collection agency will act as a middleman and want to retain a percentage of the contingency fee.
The eBook also discusses the debt collection process once a file is turned over to either a collection agency or debt collection law firm. Once a lawsuit is filed to attempt collection of past due accounts, the various scenarios are discussed. The e-Book gives an outline of the debt collection process. The collection attorneys at The Gebeloff Law Group are always happy to answer any questions your company may have. We will discuss the differences between commercial collection agencies, commercial collection law firms and how each may or may not be appropriate to help your company recover past due accounts.
How Fast Can Judgment Be Obtained in a Debt Collection Case
Our debt collection client’s frequently ask our collection attorneys-lawyers how long will it take to collect their companies past due account receivables. It is important to note that every debt collection case is unique. Below we will summarize what to expect when your account receivable manager places an account for debt collection with our law firm.
If after a debt collection lawsuit is filed by our collection law firm, the debtor files no responsive pleading to the complaint, twenty (20) days after the summons is served, default will be entered. Thereafter, our debt collection client simply has to execute an affidavit of proof and our collection lawyers-attorneys will prepare a Motion for Default Judgment. In this scenario Judgment can be obtained anywhere from thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days.
Debt Collection Case
If a debt collection case is disputed by a debtor, the timing of a debt collection case depends on the dollar amount of the account receivable. In Florida, if a debt collection account is under $15,000.00 that would put the account in the jurisdiction of the Florida County Court Judicial System. In Florida, debt collection cases filed in the County Court typically go to trial within four to six months after the debt collection case is filed. Debt collection cases filed by our debt collection law firm in Florida that have an account receivable above $15,000.00, put the account in the Jurisdiction of the Circuit Court. Cases in this jurisdiction typically take longer to go to trial than debt collection cases that are filed in the County Court.
As previously indicated, each debt collection case is different. Our collection attorneys-lawyers work with our clients to try and streamline the process and get the debt collection case to trial and secure a judgment as expeditiously as possible. Once a judgment is obtained by our debt collection law firm, our collection attorneys-lawyers and debt collection paralegals will then devise a strategy to then attempt to liquidate the judgement.
We encourage all account managers to call and speak to our collection attorney to devise a comprehensive debt collection strategy for all of their account receivables that have become delinquent. There are many studies that show the longer a creditor waits to take action on collecting past due accounts, the percentage of recovery drops over time.
CASHING A CHECK WITH A RESTRICTIVE ENDORSEMENT / IS THE CHECK NOW PAYMENT IN FULL
CALL OUR COLLECTION LAW FIRM TODAY AND SPEAK WITH OUR COLLECTION ATTORNEY TO DISCUSS
It is important for creditors to consult with a lawyer. Our collection law firm is frequently asked to answer the question can cashing a check with a restrictive endorsement “paid in full” mean that they have accepted the payment as full payment despite the fact there is still a balance due. This a complicated area and we urge our client’s to call our collection law firm and speak to our collection lawyer.
Any writing affixed on a check or words contained in some form of document, i.e., email, letter, that refers to an accompanying check is considered a “restrictive endorsement.” Creditors should be versed on the effects of “restrictive endorsements” as cashing a check with a restrictive endorsement could lead to the conclusion that the debtor has achieved an “accord and satisfaction,” payment in full. At our debt collection law firm, we receive many inquiries from our debt collection clients on whether or not to cash a check tendered by a debtor with a restrictive endorsement. Our collection attorneys always err on the side of caution and advise our debt collection clients not to cash the checks.
Restrictive Endorsements on Checks
Our collection law firm also receives inquiries to our collection lawyers about situations where a check is sent to a lock box and cashed. Fortunately for our debt collection clients, all states, have adopted the recent revision of the Uniform Commercial Code, Article 3, Section 311 (UCC3-311), which is commonly referred to as “Safe Harbor.” The Safe Harbor principal is applicable to payments received in a system that is serviced by a third party (such as a bank lock box or a post office box). Typically, this is the creditor’s banking institution whose lock box is serviced by banking personnel lacking the knowledge and expertise to make an informed decision relative to restricted endorsements.
The Florida statute is found below but generally a creditor should look to state statute to find a similar Safe Harbor provision such as UCC 3-311. The UCC 3-311 specifies within 90 days of depositing restricted payment from a buyer, the seller can send one of their checks back to the buyer in the same amount of the restricted check and preserve the creditor/seller’s legal remedies. The creditor should make sure the “reimbursement” check should be sent back via some mode requiring proof of attempted delivery. Our collection clients should note the buyer/debtor need not cash the “reimbursement check;” as the creditor/seller’s right to proceed with litigation is preserved by the act of sending back the amount originally submitted under endorsement text or provisions.
Our collection lawyers also counsel our debt collection clients to make sure they put specific language in their contracts and or credit applications pertaining to where and to whom payment should be sent. This is important because the Uniform Commercial Code provides that if a credit grantor is made aware of a dispute prior to any type of final payment being made the creditor’s claim for an overdue balance is not discharged if within a reasonable time before tender the creditor stipulates that a restricted instrument (restricted check) must be sent to a designated person, office or place. If those instructions are not followed, then creditor remedies are available.
Florida Statute Section 673.3111 Accord and satisfaction by use of instrument, provides:
(1) If a person against whom a claim is asserted proves that that person in good faith tendered an instrument to the claimant as full satisfaction of the claim, that the amount of the claim was unliquidated or subject to a bona fide dispute, and that the claimant obtained payment of the instrument, the following subsections apply.
(2) Unless subsection (3) applies, the claim is discharged if the person against whom the claim is asserted proves that the instrument or an accompanying written communication contained a conspicuous statement to the effect that the instrument was tendered as full satisfaction of the claim.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), a claim is not discharged under subsection (2) if either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) applies:
(a) The claimant, if an organization, proves that:
1. Within a reasonable time before the tender, the claimant sent a conspicuous statement to the person against whom the claim is asserted that communications concerning disputed debts, including an instrument tendered as full satisfaction of a debt, are to be sent to a designated person, office, or place; and
2. The instrument or accompanying communication was not received by that designated person, office, or place.
(b) The claimant, whether or not an organization, proves that, within 90 days after payment of the instrument, the claimant tendered repayment of the amount of the instrument to the person against whom the claim is asserted. This paragraph does not apply if the claimant is an organization that sent a statement complying with subparagraph (a) 1.
(4) A claim is discharged if the person against whom the claim is asserted proves that within a reasonable time before collection of the instrument was initiated, the claimant, or an agent of the claimant having direct responsibility with respect to the disputed obligation, knew that the instrument was tendered in full satisfaction of the claim.
Our debt collection clients are often confused on what they should do with a check with a restrictive endorsement ” Paid in Full.” Please feel free to contact our debt collection lawyers at our debt recovery law firm. Our collection attorneys are always willing to discuss a collection strategy to help our client’s minimize risk and bad debt.

While it was a learning year for most of the local high school baseball teams, that didn’t preclude individuals from receiving postseason accolades in their respective leagues.
Leading off, are the Sacramento Valley League and NSCIF Division IV runner up Colusa RedHawks, who with a solid combination of senior leadership and youth returned to the section title game for the first time in since 2014.
Four RedHawks were designated All-Sacramento Valley League including seniors Blake Steidlmayer and Christian Lyss along with junior Cody Free and sophomore Drew Bradbury.
Bradbury was also named to the All-Northern Section second team as pitcher after finishing the season 9-2 with a 1.69 ERA and 46 strikeouts over 56 innings of work.
In the Mountain Valley League, Maxwell showed significant improvement in their second season under head coach Tyler Wells, despite a fourth place finish in the MVL.
The three Panthers earning All-League honors were seniors in Tim Kromis and Vincent Ferrara in addition to freshman Shane Danley.
Both Pierce and Williams struggled with inexperience this season although the Bears got two selections in the SVL while the Yellowjackets got one in the Mid-Valley League.
Senior Matt Williams and junior Gentry Condrey represented Pierce, while senior Hunter Povlsen was the choice for the ‘Jackets.

That old saying, “Money doesn’t grow on trees,” has a pretty narrow scope. We all know it’s meant to convey the worth of money, and not spending it like water, but think about it. There’s plenty of things we wish grew on trees, so we could walk right up and pick them. Martinis, for example. Hamburgers. What about doughnuts? We’re here to tell you about a miraculous doughnut tree, or in this case, a Doughnut Plant! Pick up a dozen or five of the city’s tastiest doughnuts at 220 West 23rd Street (and a few other locations around town)!
The Best Kind of Nut Tree
True, the doughnuts at Doughnut Plant don’t dangle off branches for people to harvest, but you can pick out all your favorites at the shop. This pastry place has every flavor of doughnut you can dream of, and some you might not have thought of, too. From dense, delicious cake doughnuts to fluffy, raised yeast doughnuts, Doughnut Plant serves them up fresh every day.
The bakers here do nothing halfway. These folks are innovators in the doughnut world. They invented a square jelly-filled doughnut, all the better for dunking or packing into a box to carry around. Heck, they even make their own jelly for filling their treats! That’s dedication to the art of the doughnut.
Delectable Innovations in Pastry
One of the shop’s perennial favorites is the pistachio doughnut, topped with crumbles of pistachio. As great as that sounds, don’t stop there. Go for the Blackout Doughnut. This thing is a masterwork of sugary delight: a chocolate cake doughnut, filled with chocolate pudding, dipped in chocolate glaze, and covered in chocolate sprinkles. (Seastreak is not responsible for the sugar crash afterwards.)
Don’t forget, Seastreak welcomes your boxed-up foods on our ferries! Grab a dozen doughnuts, then kick back on one of our luxurious catamarans for the nicest ride to and from Manhattan.
Sea you soon!

Casey makes NHL debut
Casey Cizikas (11) has been called up to the National Hockey League's New York Islanders.
After lighting up the American Hockey League (AHL) for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, Mississauga native and former Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors captain Casey Cizikas has been called up to the National Hockey League's (NHL) New York Islanders.
Cizikas will make his NHL debut tonight when the Isles host cross-town rivals New York Rangers.
Since Jan. 1, Cizikas has posted 24 points (nine goals, 15 assists) and a plus-19 rating in 18 games to lead the Sound Tigers to a 16-1-0-1 record.
Cizikas, who turns 21 on Monday, represented Bridgeport at the 2012 AHL All-Star Classic on Jan. 30 and was named the Reebok/AHL Player of the Month for January.
Selected by the Islanders in the fourth round, 92nd overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Cizikas established career highs in goals (29), points (64) and plus-minus (plus-43) last year with the Majors during his fourth and final Ontario Hockey League (OHL) season.
He added a career-high 19 points with a plus-11 rating in 16 playoff games as Mississauga fell in Game 7 of the OHL final to the Owen Sound Attack.

Sujimoto Wins Corporate Brand Award, Excites Customers With Large Bonus
By Oladapo Sofowora
Upscale luxury real estate company, Sujimoto Construction Company owned by cosmopolitan super dandy, Sijibomi Ogundele and his team made history yet again, at the just concluded prestigious ‘Tech Times Award’, where the luxury real estate firm, bagged; ‘Corporate Brand of the Year’ award with a land slide victory of over 7,000 votes to beat other top contenders like; Standard Bank, Interswitch, Zenith Bank, GTBank, FlutterWave, Dangote Group, Access Bank Plc, MTN group, FarmCrowdy, Opaym, Andela, Komaza, Safaricom, Sanlam, Naspers, East African Breweries, Exxaro Resources, Twiga Foods, Chandaria Industries. Bagging the award, is a clear indication that the property company is towing the path of greatness in its service delivery, as a well reputable brand cresting its footprint in gold. Sujimoto construction company, is offering investors of his ongoing ‘LeonardoBySujimoto’ under construction at the highbrow, Banana island, Ikoyi, a mouth-watery unbelievable deal spanning into billions of Naira in return on investment for 2 years.
The urban construction company, is well known for the construction of several architectural masterpiece littered across the skyline of Lagos, ranging from Guiliano By Sujimoto and Lucrezia by Sujimoto and a host of other project. With the LeonardoBySujimoto Project, Sujimoto is offering investors a gift of 400% ROI within 2 years.
To many, it sounds like magic, his plans generated mixed reactions on social media. Some argued how such investment will yield massive profit in less than 2 years. Many further argued that; offering a whopping 400% in 2 years, for return on investment, not even gold, treasury bills or cryptocurrencies can boast of such massive profit, not even at a time when Treasury Bills and Fixed deposit sits at 3.5% ROI annually. However, financial experts questioned how realistic his calculations are; but the misunderstood Motomatics theory propounder, who is of the opinion that; 1+1=11, has always proved naysayers wrong. He knows the construction business like the back of his hands.
The audacious serial entrepreneur and real estate mogul, further shed more light, on how he arrived at his proposed 400% ROI calculation, He said; “The nicest and most expensive 3 Bedroom Apartment on Bourdillon Road and Eko Atlantic are selling for $2m – $4.5 USD. Our designs are three times better and two times cheaper. By the time we launch in October, the 3 Bedroom you are buying today for $650,000 will be sold at $1million and $3.5 Million upon completion giving you over 400% ROI in 2 years.
The trained lawyer further explained that; the Leonardo will be the first option for HNIs and Expatriates looking for luxury, security and comfort most expecially post COVID-19. He also added that, Sujimoto signed a rental agreement with top multinationals and blue chip companies that will rent the Leonardo on completion. “The LeonardoBySujimoto’s 2 Bedroom will guarantee $50,000 Rental ROI per annum, 3 Bedroom will give $70,000, while the 4 Bedroom is guaranteed to give $100,000 USD per annum.”
Despite thriving and flourishing in Nigeria’s dwindling business climate, Sujimoto before COVID-19, launched it’s much talk about Sujimoto Residence; one of the best shortlet apartments services and holiday home for luxury lovers, in and outside the country. There is also an added advantage for those who own a LeonardoBySujimoto apartment, the company would help owners generate funds spanning from N30million – N120million per annum at 70% occupancy.
Ogundele avered that; The company has over the years deviced a credible and simple payment plan for those who wish to own one of the most luxurious condominiums in Nigeria. He said “With an initial deposit of $150,000 (30%), this secures the ownership of a flat at the LeonardoBySujimoto – a waterfront high-rise building that features premium fittings and facilities, award winning ZahaHadid Bathrooms, the phenomenal Techno Gym, Full Home Automation, prestigious Kohler Kitchen, IMAX Cinema, incredible personalized Hair Salon, dedicated restaurants strictly for the residents, 5 Star interactive Lobby, Crèche, Tennis Court, Squash Courts, the 1st Private Luxury Boat Club in Africa.”

There are times when a movie shines by its stars. It is they who make the story perfect. There could not be a Vito Corleone without Marlon Brando or Breaking Bad without the Walter White of Bryan Cranston. However, it is tempting to imagine which actors and actresses would have gotten into the skin of those emblematic characters and to think if with them the films would have been better or worse. This is the case of Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic, who almost lost the paper in favor of Matthew McConaughey.
Can you imagine the protagonist of True Detective being the king of the world? This is what was about to happen, as confessed by both McConaughey and James Cameron, the director, and actress Kate Winslet. “I got to audition with Kate Winslet and it went very well. So much so that when I went home I did it convinced that the role was for me. But it didn’t happen, they never offered it to me,” the actor explained.
James Cameron told about that when DiCaprio came to audition the whole team was around him, surprised. For his talent? For its beauty? It is not clear to us, but Cameron chose to stay with that young angelic-faced actor.
A contrary decision would have changed McConaughey’s career forever and would have saved him a lot of dubious quality papers in mediocre romantic comedies. At that time he had a very promising career and some had compared him to the new Paul Newman of Hollywood after working in Time to kill with Sandra Bullock. A ticket office like Titanic (which, remember, took 11 Oscar awards) would have opened the door to other more succulent projects.
With maturity McConaughey has achieved some of the best roles of his career, including the brilliant prominence of the HBO series True Detective, where he plays the martyred detective Rust Cohle. The actor also received an Oscar for his outstanding incarnation of AIDS sufferer Ron Woodroof at Dallas Buyers Club and has participated in notable projects such as Mud and The Wolf of Wall Street. In the end time puts things in their place.

September is designated as Responsible Dog Ownership Month. But responsible pet ownerships is something that should be practiced year-round. For starters, microchipped dogs and cats that get lost and end up in shelters are twice as likely to make it back home than pets that are not chipped.
Dr. Gary Michelson founded the Found Animals Foundation after Katrina, when so many pets were displaced and were never reunited with their families. A feature of the Foundation is the Found Animals Microchip Registry. Registering with this registry is free and offers pet owners peace of mind should their pets go missing that there is at least a chance of them being re-united. It is estimated that Hurricane Katrina displaced approximately 600,000 pets who subsequently died or were never reunited with their families.
Thus it’s important that all pets should not only be micro chipped but its important that the registry they are listed with also has your up to date information. You can learn more about this great organization that also runs the Adopt and Shop concept to find pets loving forever homes on their website. www.FoundAnimals.org

SBL Entertainment Presents
Hot Tuna Acoustic and David Lindley (Grants Pass, OR)
143 Southeast H Street
Grants Pass, OR, 97526
Hot Tuna Acoustic
From their days playing together as teenagers to their current acoustic and electric blues, probably no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years -- yes! -- than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, the founders and continuing core members of Hot Tuna.
The pair began playing together while growing up in the Washington D.C. area, where Jack's father was a dentist and Jorma's father a State Department official. Four years younger, Jack continued in junior high, then high school -- while playing professional gigs as lead guitarist at night before he was old enough to drive -- while Jorma (who had played rhythm guitar to Jack's lead) started college in Ohio, accompanied his family overseas, then returned to college, this time in California. Along the way, Jorma became enamored of, then committed to, the finger-picking guitar style exemplified by the now-legendary Rev. Gary Davis. Jack, meanwhile, had taken an interest in the electric bass, at the time a controversial instrument in blues, jazz, and folk circles.
In the mid 1960s, Jorma was asked to audition to play guitar for a new band that was forming in San Francisco. Though an acoustic player at heart, he grew interested in the electronic gadgetry that was beginning to make an appearance in the popular music scene -- particularly in a primitive processor brought to the audition by a fellow named Ken Kesey -- and decided to join that band; soon thereafter he summoned his young friend from Washington, who now played the bass. Thus was created the unique (then and now) sound that was The Jefferson Airplane. Jorma even contributed the band's name, drawn from a nickname a friend had for the blues-playing Jorma. Jack's experience as a lead guitarist led to a style of bass playing which took the instrument far beyond its traditional role.
While in The Jefferson Airplane, putting together the soundtrack of the 60s, the pair remained loyal to the blues, jazz, bluegrass, and folk influences of the small clubs and larger venues they had learned from years before. While in San Francisco and even in hotel rooms on the road, they would play together and worked up a set of songs that they would often play at clubs in the Bay Area and while on the road, often after having played a set with the Airplane. This led to a record contract; in fact, they had an album recorded before they decided to name their band Hot Tuna. With it they launched on an odyssey which has itself continued for more than 35 years, always finding new and interesting turns in its path forward.
The first thing an early Hot Tuna fan discovered at their concerts of the early 1970s was that the band was growing louder and louder. In an era in which volume often overtrumped musicianship, Hot Tuna provided both. The second thing a fan would discover was that Jack and Jorma really loved to play. "Look around for another band that plays uninterrupted three- to six-hour sets," wrote reviewer Jerry Moore. What Moore could not have known was that had there been no audience at all, they would have played just as long and just as well, so devoted were they to making music. Of course, the audience wasn't superfluous by any means; it energized and continues to energize their performances.
Album followed album -- more than two dozen in all, not counting solo efforts, side projects, and appearances on the albums of other bands and performers -- and they continued to develop their interests and styles, both together and in individual pursuits. In an era in which old bands reunite for one last tour, Hot Tuna can't because Hot Tuna never broke up.
Along the way, they have been joined by a succession of talented musicians: Drummers, harmonica players, keyboardists, backup singers, violinists, mandolinists, and more, all fitting in to Jorma and Jack's current place in the musical spectrum. And along the way there was no list of outstanding guitarists that didn't include Jorma, nor was there anyone who seriously thought there is a better bass player than Jack.
After two decades of acoustic and electric concerts and albums, the 1990s brought a new focus on acoustic music to Hot Tuna. More intimate venues with a more individual connection to the audience became increasingly frequent stops. Soon, the loud electric sound (and the semi trailer load of equipment) disappeared entirely from Hot Tuna tours. Maturity brought the desire to do things not instead of but in addition to being a touring band. Both had become interested in teaching, passing along what they had learned and what they had uniquely developed to a new generation of players.
In 1998 Jorma and his wife Vanessa opened Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp, in the beautiful rolling Appalachian foothills of southeastern Ohio. Here, on a sprawling and rustic yet modern campus, musicians and would-be musicians come for intensive and enjoyable workshops taught by Jorma, Jack, and other extraordinary players, learning things that range from different styles of playing to songwriting and even storytelling (the musician in performance has to say something while changing that broken string!), to making a song one's own. In addition, there is now BreakDownWay.com, a unique interactive teaching site that comes closest of anything yet to make individual instruction available to students anywhere there is a computer and an Internet connection.
But the teaching doesn't replace Hot Tuna's busy tour schedule; it's in addition to the tours. Nor have they lighened up their individual schedules. Jack released his first solo CD, Dream Factor, on Eagle Records in 2003. He has a busy and elaborate website. Jorma has a website, too, and achieved enormous critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination for his 2003 solo album, Blue Country Heart. (Both are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame due to their pioneering work in The Jefferson Airplane.)
For the last few years, Jorma and Jack have been joined in most of their Hot Tuna performances by the mandolin virtuoso Barry Mitterhoff. A veteran of bluegrass, Celtic, folk, and rock-influenced bands including "Tony Trischka and Skyline" and "Bottle Hill," Barry has found a new voice in working with Hot Tuna, and the fit has been good -- watching them play, it's as if he's been there from the beginning and they're all having the time of their lives. It is in the electric sets, too, that Barry brings out a wide array of electric mandolins and similar instruments that most people have probably never seen or heard before. It's all a real treat.
The newest member of Hot Tuna is the brilliant and exciting young drummer Skoota Warner, who already had a career few would dare aspire to when he joined the band in 2009. Like many in the blues-inspired music world, his musical life began in church, in his hometown of Newnan, Georgia. From there he traveled to New York, where he studied with and/or worked with a virtual who's who of rock, funk, blues, and jazz musicians. Recent Hot Tuna concertgoers can attest that watching Skoota and Jack heading off into the wild blue musical yonder is worth the price of admission all by itself. Says Jorma, "I have never felt more at home with a drummer than I do now with Skoota."
Jorma and Jack certainly could not have imagined, let alone predicted, where playing would take them. It's been a long and fascinating road to numerous exciting destinations. Two things have never changed: They still love to play as much as they did as kids in Washington D.C., and there are still many, many exciting miles yet to travel on their musical odyssey.
Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show. At his expansive and eclectic live performances David Lindley consistently gives one of the most unique concert experiences available to adventuresome music listeners.
David Lindley grew up in southern California, first taking up the banjo as a teenager, and subsequently winning the annual Topanga canyon banjo and fiddle contest five times as he explored the American folk music tradition. between 1967 and 1971 Lindley founded and lead what must now be seen as the first world music rock band, the Kaleidoscope. In 1971, Mr. Dave joined forces with Jackson Browne, serving as Jackson's most significant musical co-conspirator until 1981. In 1979, Lindley had begun working with old friend Ry Cooder on 'Bop Till you Drop' and 'The Long Riders' sound track, a musical collaboration that lasts to this day, and has spawned many recording projects and several world tours as an acoustic duo.
In 1981, Lindley created his own remarkable Band El Rayo-X, which integrated American roots music and world beat with a heavy reggae influence. 'El Rayo-X', 'Win This Record' and 'Very Greasy', as well as a live e.p. during this period he also came forth with a solo album, 'Mr. Dave'. Lindley and guitarist Henry Kaiser went to Madagascar for two weeks in 1991 and recorded six albums of indigenous Malagasy music (including tow collaborative cd's, 'A World Out of Time' volumes one and two on Shanachie) which proved to have a major impact on the world music scene, both for the quality of the Grammy nominated music recorded, and the fair and ethical way the Malagasy musicians were dealt with. Throughout this long and distinguished career, Lindley has been one of Hollywood's most in demand session musicians, lending his skills to the recorded works of Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby and Nash, Warren Zevon, and many others.
In 1990 a chance meeting of Lindley and Jordanian born percussionist Hani Naser led to an impromptu jam and an instant decision that "we should take this on the road." David and Hani toured the world for the following six years. The duo recorded two self-released "Official Bootleg" compact discs, 'Live in Tokyo Playing Real Good' and 'Live All Over the Place Playing Even Better' on Pleemhead audio. Currently David is associated with the Rosebud agency.

Watch Mondays at Racine
- 39 min
Mondays at Racine is a touching documentary about two sisters, Cynthia and Rachel Sakai, who run a hair salon in Long Island, New York. Every third Monday of the month, their salon, Racine, opens its doors to cancer patients for free. The film follows the lives of five women, who are in different stages of cancer treatment, as they undergo a day of beauty, relaxation, and empowerment.
The documentary starts by introducing the two sisters, Cynthia and Rachel Sakai, who own the salon. They are two strong women who are passionate about using their skills to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients. They believe that by providing a day of pampering, they give patients a much-needed boost of confidence and self-esteem.
The first cancer patient we meet is Karla, a mother of two who has been battling breast cancer for over a year. Karla is a vibrant woman, with a sense of humor that lights up the screen. As she sits in the hair salon chair, she talks about the struggles of living with cancer, especially as a mother. Karla shares intimate details about the toll that the disease has taken on her relationship with her husband and children.
Next, we meet Sue, an elderly woman who is fighting pancreatic cancer. Sue is a gentle soul, who is quietly resigned to her fate. She talks about her past, her family, and her regrets. As she gets her nails done, she shares moments of her life with the audience. The film shows how the salon has created a safe space where cancer patients can share their stories and find comfort in the company of others who are going through the same struggles.
The documentary also features Maria, a young mother who is battling leukemia. Maria is an energetic woman who refuses to let cancer beat her down. As she is getting her wig styled, she talks about her dreams for the future and her hopes for her children. The salon becomes a haven for Maria, where she can feel like a normal person, even though she is going through an incredibly challenging time in her life.
Another woman that we meet is Millie, a grandmother who has been battling breast cancer for over ten years. Millie is one of the most inspiring people in the documentary. She is a fighter who refuses to give up, no matter how difficult her journey becomes. Millie shows that even in the face of the most daunting challenges, it is possible to find strength and hope.
Finally, we meet Cathy, a woman who has overcome cancer and is now thriving. Cathy is an example of how a cancer diagnosis can change a person's perspective on life. She shares her journey with the audience, and we get to see how the salon helped her during her treatment.
Throughout the documentary, we see the love, care, and empathy that Cynthia, Rachel, and their staff put into the services they offer. The salon becomes more than just a place where cancer patients can get their hair or nails done. It becomes a community where people can share their experiences and find comfort in the fact that they are not alone.
The documentary is a heartwarming and emotional portrayal of the human spirit. It shows how ordinary people can use their skills and resources to make a difference in the lives of others. Mondays at Racine is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and that sometimes a little bit of kindness and support can go a long way in helping people find the strength to keep fighting.
Mondays at Racine is a 2012 documentary with a runtime of 39 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.5.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, who is also the Chairperson of Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), on Monday over-ruled Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal as he directed authorities in NCT of Delhi to ensure that treatment is not denied to any patient on grounds ‘of being a non-resident of the national capital’.
This order comes after Kejriwal had said that Government, private hospitals in Delhi will only treat patients from Delhi, while Central hospitals will remain open for all.
“If people from other cities come to Delhi for specific surgeries, they will be treated at private hospitals”, he had added.
The order by the LG also directed all government and private hospitals and nursing homes to cater to the needs of the patients.

“The undersigned in his capacity as the Chairperson of the DDMA, hereby directs departments and authorities concerned of NCT of Delhi to ensure that medical treatment is not denied to any patient on the ground of not being a resident of Delhi,” the order said.
“All government and private hospitals and nursing homes situated in the NCT of Delhi have to extend medical facilities to all COVID-19 patients coming for monitoring/treatment without any discrimination of being resident or non-resident of NCT of Delhi,” it added.
The order said that the Supreme Court had “invariably held” in several judgements that the “Right to Health is an integral part of Right to Life under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.”
In response to the LG’s order, CM Kejriwal said that his order has ‘created a huge problem and challenge for the people of Delhi’ as ‘providing treatment for people coming from all over the country during coronavirus pandemic is a big challenge’.
“LG Sahib’s order has created a huge problem and challenge for the people of Delhi. Providing treatment for people coming from all over the country during Coronavirus pandemic is a big challenge. We will try to provide treatment to all”, he tweeted.
LG साहिब के आदेश ने दिल्ली के लोगों के लिए बहुत बड़ी समस्या और चुनौती पैदा कर दी है
देशभर से आने वाले लोगों के लिए करोना महामारी के दौरान इलाज का इंतज़ाम करना बड़ी चुनौती है।शायद भगवान की मर्ज़ी है कि हम पूरे देश के लोगों की सेवा करें।हम सबके इलाज का इंतज़ाम करने की कोशिश करेंगे

Products to facilitate financial responses to outbreaks of diseases such as Ebola, Meningitis, and Lassa fever in Nigeria and 29 other Africa countries are underway. An agency of the African Union, the African Risk Capacity, ARC, in a statement, weekend, said that it is working with West, East and Central African countries to determine their epidemic risks and select pathogens to be covered.
Director-General of ARC, Mr. Mohamed Beavogui, said over 30 countries across Africa are at risk of an outbreak of one or more of the epidemic-prone diseases. Beavogui said the agency will work with countries to optimize early warning systems, create pre-established contingency plans for rapid response, and provide access to swift disbursement of financing through parametric insurance.
He said the insurance products will make a difference for Africa aimed at the public health needs of Africans built through African and international collaboration, adding, “the highest global incidence of bacterial meningitis occurs in Africa, spanning West, East, and Central African nations.
‘‘The risk of outbreaks of the Marburg virus disease and Lassa fever are viral hemorrhagic fevers.” Speaking for the Nigerian insurance market, the Managing Director, Riskguard Africa Limited, Mr. Yemi Soladoye said.
“The Nigerian insurance sector has the financial and technical capacities to underwrite the risk”. Soladoye explained that insurance is both a commercial and social business hence granting life insurance cover to the medical practitioners is in their capacity.’’
He also said, “Insurers can grant cover to Ebola patients because in Kenya and South Africa, insurers grant cover to HIV positives. Ebola is an epidemic not a disease and so like cholera etc. will soon pass. Even at that, insurers in other jurisdictions grant cover for existing deformities and dreaded diseases.”


My Turn: Fear for your food future
If you listen closely, you can still hear the echoes of the nuclear power industry when their over-paid scientists, lawyers, publicists and lobbyists sanctimoniously and superciliously asserted that nuclear power would be clean, safe, reliable and too cheap to meter. If only, people would stop being so afraid of the unintended consequences of nuclear power and listen to the “facts” they were smugly spewing, they could get on with their agenda. Unfortunately, for them the nuclear trifecta —– the melt down at Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania and the continuing disasters in Fukushima, Japan and Chernobyl, Russia — seems to have driven those old arguments underground. But you can still hear the echoes.
The remarkable similarities of the justifications now advanced by big “Agribiz” (Monsanto et al.) in support of GMOs to the arguments once offered in support of nuclear power leave one with the chilling thought that maybe —just maybe — the new crop of overpaid scientists, lawyers, publicists, and lobbyists being rewarded by “Agribiz,” are reading from the old playbill. Feed the world with clean, safe, reliable and cheap GMOs. Once again, they claim, that advanced technology will rescue us from ourselves.
Well, maybe that’s possible but I, once again, fear the potential, unintended consequences of these new experimental food products. I fear a future that puts my food supply in the hands of a few multinational corporations driven primarily by “the bottom line” of a few wealthy investors. (The Pope might call that greed.) I also fear the impact on our farmers, and I fear the impact on the existing crop supply. And I want to choose whether I consume GMOs in the food I eat.
And that’s what the Vermont legislature intended when it passed the GMO labeling bill. In spite of the threats from big Agribiz, Vermont was and is prepared to go it alone. All we Vermonters want is an opportunity to know what’s in the food we eat and make informed choices on issues of global significance. Isn’t full disclosure and transparency essential to the twin concepts of consumer capitalism and caveat emptor? How else can we opt out of the world dominated by Monsanto et al. Our only leverage is to vote with our pocketbooks.
And, so Agribiz has dispatched a coven of ankle-biting lawyers to smother our new law in legal briefs. But it’s not enough for Monsanto to challenge our law in the courts. They are now challenging our law in the well-plowed fields of Washington, D.C. Money goes further in Congress and so they are succeeding. The U.S. House voted by a frighteningly high margin to block us from requiring labeling of genetically modified foods. (Where are the “states rights” boys when you really need them?)
We can hope that the unintended consequences of GMOs will not be as dramatic as those of the nuclear power industry. But that’s what makes it so insidious. The consequences of GMOs may occur long before we know about them. Let’s hope the grid lock in Washington can kill Agribiz’ latest maneuver. Ironic, no?

Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2010 10:52 pm Post subject: what sex am i? plzzzzz help
hiya ok i brought "harry"from a pet shop 2 weeks ago i asked what sex it was and they said its a boy only the last few days hes been acting strange on the bottom of the cage bobbing his head and making a strange noise .my partner said that he is not a he n its acting like a hen.so ive looked on this site at pics of hens n males but still cant work out which it is plz help thanks.
ahhh thats good then i did change his name to baby as helikes to be called that anyway he chirps nlooksround round mewhen i say hello baby .he also gets welli think its excited when he hears me get up in the morning or coming in when ive been out he like kaks very loud and runs around his cage. i let him out his cage for the first time today and he loved that had to hold his cage in the air for him to get back in but he went back no probs.,,,,glad i brought him hes lovely ive never had a kakiriki before it was his cheeky noise n the way he looked at me that made me by him only went in the pet shop to buy dog treats came out with baby ,cage n everything else he needed.
A very handsome little man. Next time you let him out let him have a bath now that is very comical to watch. I use a medium size roasting tin, with cool water (not freezing or to warm ). TOP TIP put the tray down first then fill it up as you will spill it if you try to carry a full tin. I fill it up as much as i can as mine love a full bath, in both the house and in the outdoor avairys. Put a towel down under the tin as they like to splash alot. He might not go to it straight away. Some people let their Kaks bath in the sink but remember to lock the outside door.
When mine have a bath ( Ive got 6 Kaks and over 70 Zebra finches that love a bath) i have to keep topping the water up. Happy bathing.
awww thank you so much guys you have been very helpful.let baby out again this morning and he was going nuts flying around the room scared me abit tbh thought he was gonna hit something but he lands on my curtain pole n sits watching tv theres only me in all day kids at school /college n my partner too will he start going on the floor as he only sits on the pole.as for baths i have one of those water dishes with like a lid on and he tryed bathing in that was funny watching him trying to put his leg into it so i gave him an old pudding bowl but he still trys to get in his water dish so took the lid of it n he managed to get his bum into it ive left the bath bowl in the bottom of his cage but he just drinks out of it cant win.other than that were doing ok so far hes spoilt n happy and loves attention and being talked to hes not even bothered about our dog.
There are threads and posts in these forums as to how to get them back into their cage, how to tame down, their nature toys etc
Its best to get in at the early stage rather than thingd start to get out of hand, then retrain habits behavour
To the left is a "quick search" box
When the kakariki are used to jumping off the side in, can only touch the bottom with tippy toes, and swim...
Or a bunch of them, swiming, flapping duncking, getting tipped in by a random flapping wing....All happening 1m away right next to the coffee table. Alpha male sitting watching over everything while the oppunist is on the perch behind the mesh after any tip bits 1/4m from ones shoulder. _________________ My Spelling is Not Incorrect...It's 'Creative'
He will soon start to go on the floor. When mine were in the house years ago i put their bath down and a couple of grapes and just left them to it. After 5 mins they flew down and inspected everything, Kakis are very nosey little birds. After a good soaking in the bath they use to fly upto the curtain pools to dry and preen and then they went into their cage on their own.
As for the dog our Kakis would go and sit with her in her basket, and even walk on her back. We introduced our kaki to our dog so the dog didnt become jealous. Now all my kakis are outside and our dog always goes and sits watching them.
Enjoy little Harry he will make you laugh alot.
haha after i posted the last post nosey harry flew onto the floor he had a good nosey round and even tho ive cleaned up he found all sorts of bits then he flew onto the sofa its great watching him he found his reflection on my glass door on my tv stand and started chatting himself up haha bless him the dog came in and didnt even bother with just sniffed harry n walked of then harry made him jump by hopping across the floor i can see they will get on great....as for training got a lot of work to do with that yet hes still not used to my hand so wont sit on it just runs round thecage but he will take food when i put through the cage bars.

The series ran for eight seasons on the CBS network on Friday nights, from January 9, 1959 to January 4, 1966, with a total of 217 episodes, all filmed and broadcast in black and white. It was produced and sometimes directed by Charles Marquis Warren who also produced early episodes of Gunsmoke. Warren based Rawhide on the movie Cattle Empire that he directed in 1958 and for which Endre Bohem was a screenwriter and Paul Brinegar, Steve Raines and Rocky Shahan were actors; all also worked in Rawhide. Its premiere episode reached the top 20 in the Nielsen Ratings. It rose steadily in popularity until, towards the end of the series run, it was one of America's top ten shows. Rawhide was the fifth-longest-running American TV western, beaten only by nine years of The Virginian and Wagon Train, fourteen years of Bonanza, and twenty years of Gunsmoke.
The show had a gruelling schedule, being mostly weekly with a 3-4 month break between seasons. After the first season of 22 episodes, seasons 2-7 were 30 episodes. Often the only way the lead actors could get a break was if they were said to be off on business. On rare occasions, the show would feature a small number of the actors and some misfortune, maybe in a town, which would give the others time off.

All you need to know about MS Dhoni biopic's sequel
After enjoying the biggest hit of his career so far in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016), Sushant Singh Rajput is ready to hit the cricket pitch again.
Given Mahendra Singh Dhoni's spectacular career, it's not surprising that industry folk feel his journey in the world of cricket warrants a sequel. We hear, Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Films is producing the second instalment that will see Singh reprise the role of the former Indian cricket team skipper.
With rumours about the second edition hitting headlines yesterday, a source close to the actor revealed that the film will focus on Dhoni's achievements post India's victory at the 2011 World Cup.
The winning of the coveted title was where part one concluded. "There is the [Dhoni-led Chennai'] thrilling win against Bangalore at the T20 [this year, that can be depicted in the film]. Apart from that, India's steady run, up to the semi-finals, at the 2015 World Cup will find a place in the narrative," says the source, adding that milestones from his personal life — which includes becoming father to daughter Ziva — are likely to make it to this instalment.
Like in part one, this edition will see "a fair share of involvement from Dhoni, particularly during the scripting process," the source reveals.
Expected to go on floors next year, the film may take precedence over Rajput-starrer biopic on Paralympic Games hero Murlikant Petkar. Even though the director for the sequel is yet to be decided upon, the actor is expected to resume his cricket lessons soon. mid-day reached out to Screwvala who remained unavailable for comment.


Ogdensburg not seeking to follow city charter in election; attorney blames conflicts of interest
BY JIMMY LAWTON
North Country This WeekOGDENSBURG -- Ogdensburg attorney Andrew Silver says conflicts of interest will prevent the city council from taking action to modify the November ballot to comply with the city charter.
“Please be advised that four members of the council have an apparent conflict of interest over this issue and therefore, the city lacks the requisite quorum and majority of council to request, petition, direct action or commence legal/equitable proceedings with regard to the issues raised in the letter,” a letter issued by Silver said.
The conflicts of interest stem from the incumbents being on the ballot they would seek to change. The incumbents include councilors Timothy Davis, David Price, Jennifer Stevenson and Michael Powers.
The notice, sent to the St. Lawrence County Board of Elections, came after write-in candidates for mayor and city council issued a letter claiming that primary elections for city council and the ballot for November did not properly follow the law as outlined in the city charter.
John Rishe and Jeffrey Michael Skelly, who are running for mayor and city council respectively, say that the city and board of elections erred in the handling of partial-term council seat that was vacated by Shawn Shaver earlier this year. Councilor Michael Powers was appointed to fill the position in March. While there are still two years remaining on the term, his appointment is only good until the November election.
Three other city council seats are also up for grabs in November. While there are four candidates on the ballot competing for those seats, Powers is running for his seat uncontested.
Rishe and Skelly say that the four candidates receiving the highest votes in November should fill all four seats at large, rather than have the partial term seat handled as a separate race.
Meanwhile, the Board of Elections says they can’t change the ballot without a judge’s order.
"We are required by state law to continue this process unless ordered by a Supreme Court judge to do otherwise. This process started in late February. Since that time we have received petitions, which no one challenged and conducted a primary, which no one challenged. Legally we can't just undo that," said St. Lawrence County Board of Elections Republican Commissioner Tom Nichols.
City Manager Sarah Purdy said it is not within her power to challenge the ballot on behalf of the city, and that without a quorum, the city council cannot vote to seek the litigation.

Gay marriage tricky sell to Tory 'loons'
David Cameron is becoming detached from his party's grassroots, writes Ruth Dudley Edwards
If David Cameron wasn't so admirably gifted at relaxing, the problems surrounding the legalisation of gay marriage would have been keeping him awake at night.
He has big problems with his party, most of whose members feel ignored and despised by the metropolitan elite who lead it. In fact, these days it's a feature of British politics that its top brass live and socialise mainly in fashionable, influential London circles and are increasingly detached from their traditional supporters.
Labour's Ed Miliband – a career politician who is the offspring of European intellectuals and married to an environmental lawyer – struggles to connect with the working class. The Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg – who is married to a Spanish expert in EU law and until 2005 was almost exclusively an EU official or an MEP – has little in common with sandal-wearing beardies who oppose the party being in government. And Cameron – whose career has been in politics or PR, whose wife designs expensive accessories and whose inner circle is Eton/Oxford – finds it equally difficult to empathise with those pining for the values of yesteryear.
