Meghan Markle spares no expense in legal fees as it reached $2.3M

meghan markle

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may run out of money soon. The Duchess of Sussex’s legal fees for her High Court privacy case has reached $2.3 million.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are estimated to have a net worth of $30 million combined.

The Duke of Sussex is worth $25 million thanks to his annual allowance from Prince Charles. The former Suits star, on the other hand, is worth $5 million thanks to her acting career.

On Monday’s preliminary hearing, Jessie Bowhill, who represents Meghan, said, “The overall total cost figures are £1,798,043.57 (approximately $2.3 million) for the claimant and £1,230,425 (approximately $1.6 million) for the defendant.”

Bowhill added, “At the broad-brush level, £1.8 million (approximately $2.3 million) is a reasonable and proportionate amount for a seven to 10-day trial in the High Court. This is due to the fact that the case involves ‘private information, personal data, and intellectual property rights of a high-profile individual.'”

The 39-year-old mom is suing the Associated Newspapers (ANL), the publisher of British tabloid Mail on Sunday and MailOnline.

These publications released private letters she wrote to her dad, Thomas Markle, in 2018.

Meghan claims that it was a misuse of her private info and breached the Data Protection Act.

The former Deal or No Deal briefcase girl has been suing the publication since 2019.

ANL hits back at Meghan

Meanwhile, the Associated Newspapers asked to change its defense to the Duchess’ claim to argue that she “cooperated with the authors of the recently published book ‘Finding Freedom’ to put out their version of events.”

Antony White QC, ANL’s representative, said that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s biography gave “every appearance of having been written with their extensive cooperation.”

To prove their claim, ANL wants to test authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand to see if the Duchess of Sussex indeed spoke to him about the publication and the things written in “Finding Freedom.”

They insist that either Meghan Markle allowed others to use the information or gave people close to the specific details that shared it with the authors without consent, or “the product of invention by the authors and/or the authors’ sources.”

ANL’s reps believe Meghan Markle would publicly say she was betrayed or complain to the authors if there was no involvement.

Meghan’s reps deny their claims

Meghan’s lawyer said that the authors’ references were mere “extracts” from the letters published by Mail On Sunday.

Justin Rushbrooke QC said that neither Prince Harry nor Meghan Markle collaborated with the authors in his written submissions. No interview has, reportedly, happened. The parents-of-one also, reportedly, didn’t provide pictures for the authors to use in “Finding Freedom.”

The trial is on January 2021.

Harvest IPA – Persephone Brewing Company

From Persephone Brewing Company out of Gibsons BC comes their “Harvest IPA” a beer that is wet hopped with their own hops gown on site.  These hops are only one year old and most hops do not really achieve the best oils until a few years in.  Persephone Brewing took a huge gamble with wet hopping this beer with their young hops.  The beer pours a deep amber colour with a white head.  The aroma consists of biscuit malts and floral/earthy hops.  The flavour is of earthy hops with a decent hops bitterness, resin, citrus, but the real star of the show is the caramel and biscuit malt backbone.  The alcohol content comes in at a very respectable 6.5%.  The real star of this beer are the malts but this is an amazing wet hopped beer and is a very welcome addition to the local landscape.  I have my bets that this beer will be even more amazing for the next few years as the hops plants mature.  If you can still find a bottle then do not hesitate as this is one awesome beer.

Commercial Description:  This light amber IPA is brewed with fresh cascade and centennial hops grown on Persephone’s farm. This beer has an aroma of orange and grapefruit, a subtle citrusy, grassy flavour with a light caramel malt background.

    Just bought this last night. Can’t wait to crack into it

  2. terryhickey says:

    Really enjoyed this one, agree that the malts were the real treat and I bet next year is just plain awesome!

  3. I did like this one, but it was not my favorite of the fresh hopped. I agree that the malts were the star here. Their other beers that I have had the chance to try(red ale and double IPA) were much more hop-dominant, which obviously surprised me when I cracked a Harvest IPA. I am looking forward to the development of their hops from year to year, as their setup is pretty cool. Talk about fresh…

  4. Yeah…the Sartori was very good, as expected. After that, my favorites were both pale ales, from Hoyne and Townsite.

  5. I hear you about the Sartori, as it does get too much hype. Despite the similarities,I feel that it was better than Fat Tug, making it my favorite of the bunch. The other fresh-hopped beers were somewhat underwhelming, too, so nothing else blew me away. The two pales I mentioned above were the most interesting to me.

Jared Oliva, OF, PIT

Jared Oliva sure looked good in the Arizona Fall League (.312/.413/.473 in 109 PA). Is he as good as all that? Was that a true picture of his talents?

Video courtesy of The Ultimate Prospect Journal
  • Born: November 27, 1995
  • B/T: Right/Right
  • 6’2″, 195-lbs
  • Drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 7th round of the 2017 MLB June Amateur Draft from University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ)

The Numbers

His raw numbers are listed above courtesy of baseball-reference.com. Let’s aggregate by year then focus on the important numbers for minor leaguers:

The speed is good and consistent. Combined with very good OBP numbers, including a full season at Double-A where he didn’t miss a beat, is a very good sign.

He doesn’t K% too much, and he draws walks.

That power is a bit concerning. At the upper levels, and in the majors, if you strike out a fair bit and you don’t have much power in your bat, you can be pitched to. The funny thing is when he was the University of Arizona, he was known as a power guy. But he’s 24 now, so where’s the power?

Defensively, he’s fine and with his strong arm he could play CF or easily a corner.

He hit righties better than lefties, but gets on base against them both the same, but the power shows more against righties.

He has pull power, not much into opposite field power yet. I’d be shifting over to Left against Mr. Oliva.

“The hills are alive…” Seriously, these mountainous waves show a batter who likes early summer, but not spring or late summer. It’s not a level thing either, for he’s going one level per year like clockwork. See you in AAA in 2020, Jared, and I won’t buy tickets for your early season games.

The Scouts

It would be nice to see his college power (ISO of .151 for his college career) at least.

He’s done well in the upper minors already, so he should do well at AAA, but he has to do it first.

He looks like a starter to me, perhaps not a star unless that power develops. He could be a top of the order speed guy, or table setter by getting on base in front of the power guys. Given the state of play in 2020, he probably won’t be with the Pirates until 2021, but I do expect him there then.

What You Need to Know about PMI

What You Need to Know about PMI

What You Need to Know about PMI 1024 536 Jason Breeland

What You Need to Know about PMI

Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is a reality that is hard to escape, especially for first-time home buyers.  PMI does not give the borrower additional homeowners’ insurance coverage but rather protects a lender against loss if the borrower defaults on a loan, and enables borrowers with less cash to have greater access to home ownership.

The cost is based on the type of mortgage product you secure, the amount you borrow for your house and the amount of your down payment,  and is added to your monthly payments. On average the cost runs about 5% annually of your total mortgage amount.

Removing PMI

Private mortgage insurance should never be permanent. Prior to agreeing to and signing the mortgage loan, ask for a written disclosure from your lender stating when the PMI payments can be removed from the monthly mortgage payments.  Once you have paid at least 20% of your loan, it is up to you to contact your lender and ask to have the PMI payments terminated.  It is a good idea to make this request by phone and in writing.  They most likely will agree to do this if you have made your mortgage payments in a timely manner.

To avoid PMI, consider asking your mortgage broker if they will waive private mortgage insurance requirements if you accept a higher interest rate on the mortgage loan.  If they do, you may see on average an increase of .75% to 1%, depending on the down payment.

In this guest post, James Ricketts explores the best methods for troubleshotting high CPU issues on your PC. Learn more about James at the conclusion of this post.

Best Methods For Troubleshooting High CPU Issues On Your PC

Why does the issue of high CPU consumption occur?

Well, the reasons are aplenty, the common ones are:

  • Use of software or processes that by nature consume high system resources.
  • Unnecessary startup programs.
  • Malware infection.
  • Outdated Windows, software, and driver files.
  • Damaged registry.

When high CPU usage issues occur you are likely to notice that your computer freezes or becomes painstakingly slow. Often the issue gets resolved itself in a couple of minutes or after you close some of the running applications. Other times, the only escape comes through restarting Windows, which is no fun as you risk losing any unsaved data.

Use the guidelines mentioned in this tutorial to diagnose the cause and troubleshoot the issue of repetitive high CPU consumption on your Windows PC.

First, determine the process or application that is reporting high CPU consumption.

To do this, perform the following steps:

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del.
  2. Click the Processes tab.

Task Manager will open.

You will see the names of all the running processes on the Processes tab. Go through the list to see which process or processes are consuming high amounts of CPU resources—the CPU consumption of each running process is listed on the right-side.

Ok, I’ve identified the culprit process, what do I do next?

After you have identified the culprit process, identify the program or software with which the process is associated. If the identification is not obvious, you may search for this information on the Internet.

In case the software to which the process is associated is one that you do not really require, then you can simply uninstall the software to resolve the issue. In case you require the software, then you need to determine if the culprit process is a necessary one or not (again, you may search for this information on the Internet).

If your findings show that the process is non-essential, disable the corresponding service. Next, remove the process from your startup programs. These two steps are fairly simple, as illustrated in the example below.

Let’s suppose you find that aawservice.exe (the process is part of Ad-Aware 2007, which is an antispyware software) is constantly consuming inappropriate CPU resources. To fix the issue, run the services.msc command and disable the attached service from the Services window that is displayed.

Next, run the msconfig command and remove the process from your Startup programs list. While you are at it, you are well-advised to remove other unnecessary startup processes, such as khalmnpr.exe, or ssvagent.exe that may be selected to launch at system startup on your computer.

The culprit process is an essential part of a legitimate software – how do I resolve the issue now?

In such cases, first determine if your present system configuration meets the minimum requirements to run the particular software. Next, perform the following maintenance activities and see if the issue is fixed.

  • Update your Windows, software, and driver files.
  • Run a complete malware scan using your protective software.
  • Clean your registry thoroughly using a reliable registry cleaner.

The issue of high CPU consumption is likely to be resolved after you perform the above essential maintenance tasks. If the issue persists, then the only viable solution is to switch to another software. One that provides you the same features but consumes less resources.

From Guilt to Grace

Gallery: Shuffle Festival, Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park

Dimensions: 12m x 2.4m x 1.2m

Date: 2015

Materials: Steel, rope, paper butterflies, poisonous seeds, glass vials

From Guilt to Grace
This giant amulet, made from industrial steel and discarded rope from the Thames, wards off the guilt generated by the traditional ideas of the seven deadly sins.
The amulet tips sprout extremes of sin, vials of seeds containing the overdose of poisonous plants: Belladonna represents Pride (Supurbia); Mandrake – lust (Luxuria); Mugwort – greed (avaritia); Henbane – envy (invidia); Throatwort – gluttony (Gula), Wolfsbane – wrath (ira) and Hemlock – sloth (Acedia).
Resting in Tower Hamlets Cemetery, the amulet, From Guilt to Grace, challenges society’s control through religion, culture and politics over our behaviour and desires.

More! Is There More?

mjc-writing on bed 6 knees and elbows -0685

“Well, hello, insatiable you. I love a reader with… appetite.”

So. More:

m jane colette posts new content, Monday to Friday.

You: “Over-achiever!”

Me: “Actually, the correct word is… paranoid… If you’ve written something, and nobody reads it… does it even exist?”

The blog menu is as follows:

mjc-blog menu

Tell Me comes out in March 2015. You can devour it in full then. In the meantime: Teasers (taste Tell Me). Every Tuesday. Delicious.

More still? Right now, I’m working on this crazy story. Want a sneak peak?

You: “Yes, please.”

Me: “I want you to beg. Just a little?”

You: “Seriously?”

Actually, in truth, I cannot wait to tell you. Come, come, read with me:

Methadone (The Photograph)

What’s that?

– This?

Yeah. That.

– Nothing. A photograph.

I’m not blind, lover-mine, I know it’s a photograph. Of whom?

– Everyone. Family. It’s from Christmas.

Now there’s a facet of you I did not know about. Nor suspected. Such sentimentality. Sweet.

– My sister-in-law had them printed. Gave it to me the last time I saw her, I guess. I slipped it into the iPad. It must have fallen out when you were rummaging through my bag for condoms.

Ha. That’s more like the Elizabeth I know and fuck. The one in this photograph doesn’t look like the Elizabeth I know either. Jeezus. What’s wrong with your face?

– What? Nothing. I’m smiling. I’m just smiling.

Grimacing. Grinding teeth. Almost in physical pain. I’ve seen you smiling and in ecstasy and in pain, Liz, and—well, there’s no pleasure in any part of you in this picture.

– It was a hard night. You know. Christmas. Family. High tensions. Stresses.

Tell me about it. About them. Who are all these people? My God, did you cook for all of them? In an apron? Tell me you wore an apron.

– Talking about my dysfunctional family is not going to put me in the mood to fuck again.

It doesn’t have to. That’s my job. Come on. I’m curious. And, isn’t this what all women want? A lover who’s passionately interested in the quotidian details of their excruciatingly boring, dysfunctional lives—as well as skilled with hands, and tongue, and cock?

– Fuck you.

You have. And if you tell me the story to my satisfaction, you will again.

– You really want to hear this?

Absolutely. The drama and tension is palpable, it jumps off the mildly fingerprinted surface. Just look at your face again. And the man next to you—is that your husband?

– That’s Brian, yes.

He looks like he’s restraining you, keeping you from running out of the frame. Terrified you will leave. The photograph or his life? I’m full of wonder.

– You’re reading too much into a grip on an elbow.

Then correct me. And that? That’s your daughter? What’s her name?

– I prefer that you don’t know her name.

Interesting. Understandable. But it will make telling the story cumbersome. Let’s call her… Alexandra. She looks happy.

– She is. She was—it takes a lot to spoil a child’s Christmas.

Next to her is?

– You insist on this?

I insist. Indulge me. Here, I’ll reward you. You may keep one hand on my cock as you tell the story.

– Such a reward.

I’ll put both between your legs. Stroke you when you please me.

That does not please me. Who’s next to… what did we call her? Alexandra. Who’s next to Alexandra?

– That is Brian’s ex-wife. Zia.

Gorgeous. Egyptian? And may I say, lover, your lack of jealousy pleases me. I reward you, a little.

– Ah, fuck.

– She’s as Egyptian or Arab as I am French. Canadian, in other words. Born here. As for lack of jealousy… well, it wasn’t my idea to have her there. It was the first time that’s happened in 15 years. But you’re pushing ahead of the story.

Indeed. I’m impatient. You know that. Still. We should do this properly. Continue with the cast of characters. Kneeling at her feet? Love that pose, of course.

– That’s Stefan. He… well, that’s hard to explain. In that moment, in that photograph, he’d be Zia’s… boyfriend.

Such a juvenile word when used in relation to a man fucking a 50-year-old woman. Lover?

– Well… that depends on what you understand by the word.

I can’t wait for you to explain that part of the story. The wife, the husband. The daughter. The ex-wife. Her—ha!—boytoy boyfriend. This young angry woman—the only person in the picture in more pain than you, lover—this must be the daughter of the first marriage?

– Yes. That’s Brian and Zia’s daughter. Sasha.

Her real name? Mmm. Fascinating. I’m allowed to know the step-daughter’s real name. Does she hurl accusations of favouritism and evil stepmotherness at you?

– All the time.

As she should. Now, this woman? She’s the reason I’m forcing you to tell the story, you know. As soon as I looked at the picture, she jumped out as its centre, focus. And yet, there she is, at its edge. Almost out of frame.

– I have to stop fucking artists with EQ. Yes. That’s what she is. The centre. The focus. That’s Annie. My sister-in-law. Brian’s brother’s wife. She’s the reason—she was the glue that made us a family. Or something. And the reason we had that horrific gathering—the reason everything happened.

Everything? This gets better and better. And you wonder why I want to hear the story. But wait. There’s Brian’s brother’s wife. And where, I must ask, is Brian’s brother?

– Oh… you’re right, he’s not there. He was there, I’m sure he was there. He must be taking the picture.

Brian’s forgettable brother. Does he have a name? Wait—don’t tell me. Not yet. So. That’s the cast. Now put the picture over there… and now, both hands on my cock. And tell me everything. I won’t distract you too much. Except when you get to the really good parts.

– I have no idea where to begin.

At the beginning., of course. At the photograph.

– That’s not the beginning. That’s practically the end.

Well. Then begin with the thing that’s most important to me. When you met me. It must have been around that time. I recognize the haircut. And those shoes.

– We met the following week. But you’re not part of the story. Not at all.

You’re so wrong. Every story before you met me is the backstory to… well, why you’re here. In my hotel room. Naked. Beside me. Beneath me. With me. So it’s, really, all about me.

Sociopath. Still. I’ll indulge you. Never mind me. Start with her.

– Her? Annie?

Yes. She is the story, isn’t she? Or its pivot? Anyway. She is where you should begin. I want to know her intimately.

-I don’t.

But you do, don’t you? So. Talk. But keep in mind… I’m easily bored. And I only really like one type of story.

-Am I telling a story to you or to your cock?

We are fully integrated. One and the same. And what a perfect feedback loop you have. Now. Impatient. Begin. Tell me about you and Annie. And start the story with…

-How about a mis-texted, inappropriate photograph?

I love it. Go.

… and that’s how it begins.

What do you think? Tell me. I’m writing more, right now…

Remembering Robert Cotten

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Friend of Kathy
Friend of Larry
Friend of Kim
Loved by Mary
The quiet fellow with well trimmed beard
Found his peace last night

Its called My-opia because we only see from one perspective, usually ours

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Its been a tiring few weeks. Coordinating and following through on hundreds of small changes to customize our Fall offerings for the people who will lead them. The 80/20 rule seems to be in effect, we had about 80 percent of the schedule right, and the 20% we had to fix was mostly related to learning how to schedule rooms correctly, adjusting to new university scheduling policies, and a change in computer systems that seems more complicated than we’d hoped.

The people i work for / work with are, for the most part understanding of the challenges in getting these things coordinated (about 180 courses, five days of the week, 9 hours in the schedule day, 25 rooms, and 50 people… 180x5x9x25x50 is that really over 10 million possible combinations?) but we’re also in a period of change. We’ll start next fall with fewer faculty due to financial limitations, fewer classrooms due to space limitations, and more demand for both. As I said, most faculty are working with us, even those who we’ve asked to teach out of their comfort zone. But every once in a while you bump into someone who is so busy, they can only see their world, their challenges, their future.

Those are always hard conversations, hearing the passion, which sometimes sounds like anger, and trying to get perspective to ask yourself “what are they saying to me?” Is this about feelings of alienation? or feelings they were disrespected? What is this about?

I admit to a bad reaction to these… I didn’t want to have to try and solve the impossible situation they were presenting to me. I just couldn’t see through the energy they were delivering to see the question… and lost my perspective, and interest in trying to serve the larger group. I shouldn’t let the 20% govern my work for the 80%, and maybe someone higher up will solve it with a “do this” instruction that will give me a basis for action, until then, i have to keep things as is.

We’ve got a friend who moved from hospitalization into the last stages of hospice care this week. We were hoping he’d be able to make the survivors lap in the upcoming relay for life but its not looking good. I’m also remembering the pain and loss of my friends and colleagues at Virginia Tech this week. This sorrow will never leave me it seems, maybe it shouldn’t. But in a strange way, i’m grateful for both of these things, they took me out of my – my-opic view of life, trying to make this schedule work and keep everyone happy. I realize thats a good goal, but its not what life is about. The end Rob is facing is very real, so real those around him are living in a state of shock, everyone is doing what they can, knowing its all about comfort for him, and comforting those closest to him. The people at Virginia Tech, their loss, the opening of Norris Hall again (did they use my design in part?) brought back my failures that day, lives are most important. My little world, beautiful as it is on slow weekends on the porch here at Brook Hollow, is not whats most important, caring for those who need caring for, even those people in my face expressing anger and passion, thats the important thing for me, and maybe for us all… now how can i show them the energy they direct at me would be better directed at helping people?

Thats what i have to learn.
Take Care,
Be good to each other, you never know what the person next to you is going through.
Remember those who died at Virginia Tech this week, and their families and friends .

MCGRATH: Five lessons we’ve learned from the UFC 232 move

By David McGrath, MMATORCH contributor

Dana White (photo John David Mercer © USA Today Sports)

This is NOT a failed drug test

Andy Foster, the head of the California State Athletic Commission would not sanction Jones if this could not be proven to be from old ingestion. Foster has been one of Jones most outspoken critics and made Jones submit to another test recently. I’m going to trust scientists and Andy Foster over Jones haters and Twitter trolls, I wholeheartedly believe what the scientists and Jeff Novitzky say at this point.

All rules are subject to change if it means money can be made

Have you ever in your life heard of a major sports organization moving a massive event six days before yo another venue in another state? This one is so crazy, the organization must be the UFC. If it were me Cyborg vs Nunes would have been enough with this undercard to keep 300-350 pay per view buys, I would have saved Jones for Brooklyn on ESPN or even UFC 235. The logistical headache and message it sends to fighters and fans are not worth it.

Jones is the biggest lightning rod the UFC has ever had

If you have Twitter, and you’re an MMA fan I’m sure you noticed the amount of sheer hatred on Twitter for Jones after the news, it was literally all over my feed. There are so many Jones haters and apologists it’s absolutely amazing to watch and a very interesting case study.

It’s time for Jones to be the bad guy

To this point, Jones has not embraced his bad boy persona. It’s time. Jones is the perfect villain. He has out of the ring drama and he is unbeatable inside it. People love him, and people love to hate him. Jon Jones going full villian mode is so money. It’s time to embrace it Jon the people who hate you are never gonna love you. Embrace the Hate!

UFC has a massive disconnect with its fighters

Most fighters found out that their families, friends and just about anyone else who is coming to see them fight are out of luck by social media posts. The fact that some had to learn that way it utterly embarrassing. The UFC has got to fix its fighter relations. They are the biggest MMA promotion on earth how is Megan Anderson and Mike Chiesa finding this out via Twitter? So you’re telling me there is no internal memo? Mass voicemail message? Carrier pigeon? Absolutely another embarrassing situation, which could have been easily avoided.

Myanmar Business News in Brief

Property tax to be introduced to deter speculation

Arrangements will be made to levy property taxes on speculators after studying international practices and consulting experts, local authorities and businessmen, Soe Maung, a minister in the President’s Office, told the Parliament in response to a query. Property prices in Myanmar have reached record highs after the country launched sweeping economic reforms in 2012.

MOGE invites tender for consultancy services

State-run Myanma Oil & Gas Enterprise (MOGE), under the Ministry of Energy, announced that it is interested to establish joint venture or alliance projects for drilling, seismic acquisition and pipeline construction and maintenance services with a potential partner who is reputable and internationally recognised in the related field. The scope of the assignment, which is to commence around August 1, is to help in legal and technical assessment as required in JV processes, tender document preparation, inspection and prequalification of bidders, JV agreement and contract preparation, MOGE said. Duration of the assignment will be six months, but may be extended, MOGE added.

Cebu Pacific, Tigerair set sights on Myanmar flights

Philippine-based Cebu Air Inc, operator of budget airline Cebu Pacific, and subsidiary Tiger Airways Philippines intend to fly to Myanmar and have sought the approval of Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) for a combined 2,520 seat entitlements per week to Yangon, Filipino media reports. Cebu and Tiger both want 1,260 weekly seats for a Manila-Yangon route. The Philippines and Myanmar signed a new air agreement on May 20, updating the pact that was signed in 1979 by increasing the flight frequencies and seat allocations as a way of improving trade and investments between the Southeast Asian neighbours. The new agreement allowed the designated airlines of each country a total of 3,780 seats per week or about three flights per day for each country between Manila and points in Myanmar.

Two more private banks to offer mobile banking

Two more private banks will be allowed to offer mobile banking services within weeks, bringing the total number of such providers to four, local media reported, citing a senior central bank official. The official said that Innwa Bank and Myawaddy Bank, both owned by the military, currently offer mobile banking services, and First Private Bank and CB Bank will be granted permission for mobile banking.

Myanmar to set up Credit Bureau

Myanmar is preparing to set up a credit bureau that will pave the way for some important steps forward in the country’s financial reforms, including the use of credit cards, a senior Central Bank official said. Credit Cards were first used in Myanmar in early 1990s but they disappeared when the banks that introduced them collapsed in 2003.

EU launches first national crisis management centre

Myanmar has launched the first national crisis management centre in Nay Pyi Taw in a bid to help local authorities react more quickly and effectively in face of emergencies, the European Union said. The EU-funded centre will be ready for 24-hour service and work together with the ASEAN Coordination Center for Humanitarian Assistance and other crisis management centres from member countries of the ASEAN in emergency situations.

NRL may export fuel to Myanmar

India’s Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL) is now exploring opportunities to export its products to Myanmar and is understood to have initiated a process to ink a deal with the neighbouring country, according to Indian media reports. P Padmanabhan, managing director of NRL, said the firm has already started a discussion with the Ambassador of Myanmar to India and he is positive in that regard, Assam Tribune reported. According to a study, the demand for oil products in Myanmar is expected to reach 60,000 barrels per day.

OJ begins telling Balloon how the show puts pressure on people, making one feel the need to take on a role, even relating that to the fact that he's the "caretaker".

OJ reassures Balloon that he understands that Balloon was playing a game, but the others, BombPicklePepperand Saltdon't think Balloon was playing a game, hence, why they dislike him. Balloon begins to say that he wants to be friends with them anyway because of their brief positive history in Season 1, but OJ notes that Balloon's friends will be limited if he doesn't try making friends with other people in Season 2. OJ begins walking Balloon out, but makes sure to hand him an umbrella before shutting the door.

The flashback ends, Suitcase mentions how he can't manufacture an apology, but rather, it has to come from a place of truth. Balloon, upset now, shouts how nobody cares, but Suitcase comments that she does, but that Balloon has to believe in what he says, otherwise, no one will.

After the intro, Soap and Microphone are walking up an incline carrying Soap's cleaning supplies. Soap thanks Microphone for helping her out, while Microphone notes how she never knew of a Triple-Sided Mopone of Soap's cleaning supplies. As Soap tells Microphone about how her cleaning habits are like a defense mechanism, and she realized life will never be clean no matter how hard she scrubs, Microphone notes how she wishes she talked to Soap earlier, explaining that her input isn't valued by the team.

Soap happily encourages Microphone by explaining that everyone's opinion matters on a team. As they approach the cliffSoap prepares herself to throw away the cleaning supplies, but quickly bails and sings a reprise of Keep On Cleaning. Microphone angrily slaps Soap, grabs the cleaning supplies, and throws them off the cliff. Soap is seemingly upset for a moment, but quickly thanks, Microphone.

MePhone4 begins the elimination, mentioning how it's everyone's favorite Rain On Your Parade - The Charade - A Real Life Drama (CD of the show, which is quickly denied by Knife. Nickel asks if he went over his sarcasm notes, which Knife sarcastically fails at saying no to. MePhone reveals the prizes are concert tickets to Spoiled Lemon, surprising Microphone, who comments how difficult they are to get, while an unimpressed Rain On Your Parade - The Charade - A Real Life Drama (CD says he can scalp the ticket online.

MePhone4 retaliates at Nickel's comment before asking MePad to reveal the votes, only for MePad to reveal that Toilet wants to show the votes. Toilet appears with crudely drawn pictures of the Grand Slams, noting how he made them, though MePhone promptly blows them away, saddening Toilet. The votes begin to pile in, revealing that Baseball, Knife, Suitcase, and Microphone are safe, leaving Soap, Nickel and Balloon in the bottom three.

After a long and tense suspense, MePad shows the votes, and Soap is eliminated. Soap bursts into despair, claiming MePhone's hardware needs to be cleaned, though MePhone insists that he gives everyone exactly what they deserve. Soap quickly changes her mood, arguing that Nickel should've been eliminated for forcing Suitcase to stealrather than her for pointing out the crime.

Nickel denies that he forced Suitcase to do anything, with Suitcase almost subconsciously obliging to. Soap gives words of wisdom to Suitcase and Album) before reluctantly entering the Rejection Portal herself, Rain On Your Parade - The Charade - A Real Life Drama (CD. MePhone also tells the contestants Album) he was thrown way off-schedule from the previous episodesand therefore, he is going to slow down the pace.

Fan concludes that it's "filler", which MePhone quickly denies several times, adding that if it was filler, there'd be no significant plot developments. MePhone quickly makes a plot that Marshmallow lost her bottle cap collection and that Paintbrush and Lightbulb are then obligated to find the supposed collection, even after Marshmallow denies owning one.

Meanwhile, Fan begins to talk with Knife about why MePhone4 withdrew so quickly from the contestants, though Knife expresses his clear lack of care. For some reason, Soap was kicked out today Nothing much else to say I would complain some more, but hey, why would you care? After writing the diary post, Mic then throws her diary into a bush.

Someone then picks up the diary and reads these notes:. Then that "someone" reads through the diary and calls Microphone an "annoying, harmful, random, useless, insignificant LOSER". Microphone then cries out, asking what they want.

    Loved the Paisley movement of the 80s, when we all dressed like it was the 60s and rode around on Vespa scooters! Bands like Rain Parade were the leaders, with The Three O'Clock and even XTC getting on board with The Dukes of Stratosphere.

Prostitution in Egypt is illegal. Prostitutes in Ancient Egypt were respected and even considered sacred as the first institutions where prostitution flourished were the temples of the Gods.

Human is birthed; race is assigned; love is a choice.

Racism is the wrong that recks the world.

You can conquer a racist army but not conquer the hated that created it.

Defining race is a failing chase.

The concept of race is a falsity determined by superficialities.

Colors are considered universally beautiful — until it comes to skin.

Racism arises from rules and descend into chaos.

Racism is a smallness; it is destroyed by a largeness.

Abolitionists, suffragists and racists have one thing in common — human.

Charity transcends biology.

These companies promise to pass on some of their tax cut to workers

Trump celebrates GOP tax victory
Trump celebrates GOP tax victory

Companies wasted no time announcing plans to use some of their steep tax savings to boost their workers.

Wells Fargo (WFC) and Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) said they plan to hike their company-wide minimum wages to $15 an hour. Other firms including Comcast (CCZ) and AT&T promised $1,000 bonuses.

Congressional Republicans on Wednesday pushed sweeping tax reform legislation through both chambers, and it now heads to President Trump for his signature. Among other things, it will slice the corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%.

Related: 14% of CEOs plan large capital investments in U.S.

The White House has argued strenuously that the measure will be a boon for workers, as companies plow their tax savings into wages and jobs. Many economists argue that corporations will use the funds to benefit their investors through stock buybacks and bigger dividends.

Exactly how it will play out remains a topic of fierce debate. Here's a rundown of what companies are pledging they'll do for workers.

The telecom firm said it will give 200,000 employees a $1,000 bonus.

In a statement, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson hailed "Congress, working with the President" for taking a "monumental step" that will "create good-paying jobs."

(AT&T (T) is seeking to acquire Time Warner, CNN's parent company. The Department of Justice sued to block the deal in November.)

The aerospace giant said it will spend $300 million on workers. The funds will be split evenly among worker training, upgrading facilities and a program that matches employees' charitable contributions.

Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg "praised" the tax bill as "a critical driver of business, economic growth and innovation for the United States and for Boeing," according to a press release.

Related: Why now is not the time for expensive tax cuts

The telecom firm, which owns NBCUniversal, said it will give out "special" $1,000 holiday bonuses to more than 100,000 "frontline and non-executive" employees.

Comcast also expects to "spend well in excess of $50 billion over the next five years investing in infrastructure to radically improve and extend our broadband plant and capacity, and our television, film and theme park offerings," according to a press release issued Wednesday night. "With these investments, we expect to add thousands of new direct and indirect jobs."

Two company spokesmen confirmed the announcement was tied to tax reform.

Fifth Third Bancorp

The financial services company says it will raise its company-wide hourly minimum wage to $15, signaling a pay raise for about 75% of its employees.

The bank also pledged to give out $1,000 bonuses to about 13,500 of its workers.

CEO Greg Carmichael attributed the move to the tax legislation. "The tax cut allowed the bank the opportunity to reevaluate its compensation structure and share some of those benefits with its talented and dedicated workforce," the company said in a statement.

Wells Fargo

The mega bank said it will hike its minimum hourly pay rate to $15. That will mark a $1.50 increase over the company's current minimum of $13.50 per hour.

Wells Fargo said the new minimum will become effective in March 2018.

The bank also said it will increase its charitable giving by about 40% to $400 million.

Our History

Scroll down memory lane.

The beginnings of Montgomery.

We’re proud of where we came from. Here’s a snapshot of our successful journey!

Since 1956, our agency has been guided by the conviction that providing world-class service to each and every client, every day, in a friendly, down-to-earth way sets up apart.

1st Office

1956 – MII opens its doors in Beavercreek, OH

Our doors were opened in 1956 by Robert T. Montgomery. Bob was born and raised in Xenia, OH. He was a Korean War Veteran in the US Marine Corps and attended the US Naval academy. He married Dorothy Wilson and had four children. Prior to founding MII, Bob worked at the Ray Cox Insurance Agency, and due to covenants, Bob moved his agency to Beavercreek when he left Ray Cox Insurance.

Early 1980’s – Phil Benson retires

In the early 1980s Phil Benson retired and Bob needed more manpower to handle the growth in sales and operations. David Mathias was added as an account executive and was very successful in sales and community service.

Bob began to expand his expertise into life insurance and financial services setting the agency apart from most of their competitors who handled mainly home, auto and business insurance. The agency continued to grow.

2002 – MII acquires the Gerard Insurance Agency of Jamestown, OH

In 2002, Montgomery Insurance and Investments purchased the Gerard Insurance Agency of Jamestown, OH. Anne Gerard came on as an account executive and served her clients and community well before retiring in 2009. This agency acquisition allowed Montgomery Insurance and Investments to gain a larger presence in eastern Greene County and added a significant book of farm owners business.

The professional and well-experienced staff coupled with the new markets of Westfield and Auto Owners Insurance companies added new quality insurance programs to offer clients and created one of the largest and most diversified insurance and financial services firms in Greene County.

2008 – Blair Davis joins MII

In 2008 Brad Montgomery’s daughter, Blair Davis, joined the firm. She strengthened the family-owned agency by bringing her experience as a commercial underwriter with The Cincinnati Companies to the commercial lines department. Her enthusiasm and commitment has made an impact on the agency and community.

2019: Kent Montgomery, Eric Montgomery’s son, joined the agency in the financial services department adding another team member from the 3rd generation.

On the Phone

1962 – MII acquires agency in Fairborn, OH

In 1962, Bob purchased the Brote Insurance Agency in Fairborn, OH.

Brad & Eric

Mid 1980s – Bob Montgomery’s two sons join the agency

Later in the 1980s Bob hired his two sons to join the growing agency. Brad Montgomery, who worked for Travelers in commercial underwriting, and Eric Montgomery, who also worked for Travelers in financial services. With their experience, a great team was created.

Travelers, Ohio Casualty, Shelby Mutual, Progressive, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and American Community were the primary insurance companies represented at that time.

Late 1980s – Montgomery brothers join forces

Richard Montgomery, Bob’s brother, worked with the agency in the 1960s and then formed his own agency. Several mergers later his agency was called Montgomery-Pidgeon Insurance. In the late 1980s, it became apparent that the two agencies may be much better off by combining forces. Dick could use the resources of a larger agency and Bob could use new markets like The Cincinnati Insurance Co.

This merger was like no other. Not only did Bob and his brother Dick reunite family, but the agency also took a monumental leap in establishing itself as a prominent provider of financial services and group benefits in addition to the standard lines of home, auto and business insurance.

The agency decided to departmentalize by product line. Instead of account executives being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, they became specialists in their own area of expertise. The account executive specialists would truly understand their product line. This specialization provided a knowledge base that could best serve their clients’ needs. While the financial services and group benefits departments became an increased focus for the growing agency, the property/casualty department became even stronger with the addition of Cincinnati Insurance Company.

2003 – MII office goes through a large renovation

Our office in the Jamestown community was being renovated, both the exterior and interior, which was our office located on the corner of Washington and Limestone Streets.

2011 – MII adds tax preparation as a service

In 2011 Montgomery Insurance and Investments added a 4th department providing tax preparation services to its clients. CPA Scott House joined the firm. Scott has over 40 years of experience as a CPA specializing in tax preparation. He has grown the tax department significantly and built many new relationships in his short time with the agency.

2013 – Charlie Davis, CPA joins MII

A new family member joined the agency in 2013. Charlie Davis, Brad Montgomery’s son-in-law, came aboard as the future of the tax preparation department and to serve as CFO for the agency.

1965 – MII adds a partner to the leadership team

In 1965, Bob added a partner, Phillip Benson, who had been his banker. Phil was the manager at Xenia National Bank. The agency became Montgomery-Benson Insurance Agency, Inc. The new partnership purchased the building at 114 S. Detroit St. in Xenia, OH and consolidated all offices into this facility. The partnership thrived with Phil managing the operations and Bob focusing on sales.

Bob began to expand his expertise into life insurance and financial services setting the agency apart from most of their competitors who handled mainly home, auto and business insurance. The agency continued to grow.

1996 – Jim Saner joins MII

In 1996 Jim Saner joined the agency. Prior to joining MII, Jim worked for The Cincinnati Companies as a commercial underwriter. Jim’s experience along with his operational and technical skills became invaluable to the agency. Jim is now a principal of the agency.

2006 – MII celebrates 50 years

Montgomery Insurance and Investments celebrated their 50th year in 2006. The focus of the agency continues to be world class customer service and commitment to the individuals, businesses and communities they serve.

2018 – MII acquires the Champion Insurance Agency of Beavercreek, OH

MONTREAL -- A man who was initially arrested for aggravated assault on April 9 has now been charged with unpremeditated murder in the death of a 64-year-old man, according to Montreal police.

Dean Meister was already in jail at the time of his arrest for the murder on Sept. 15. The 48-year-old man was formally charged with second-degree murder during a court appearance on Wednesday.

The victim was discovered “unconscious and showing signs of violence” in a Montreal home by police who had received a report from his relatives who were worried about his well-being.

The victim was taken to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries several days later.

The suspect was arrested at the scene and charged with aggravated assault. The SPVM did not disclose the links between the accused and the victim, nor the nature of the latter's injuries.

Wonder Woman Resigns. See you in 2016, Hillary!

The title says it all. Get some good rest, you’ve got a big job ahead of you in a few years. (OMG, I’m actually choking back some tears… seriously).

Hillary Clinton as Wonder Woman

  1. Love it!

    I worry about Biden running against her in 2016 and splitting the party. They’ve both earned the right to run and have strong backgrounds, but I’d much prefer her.

    • I’m sure he’ll probably run in the primaries. But I don’t want to see him win. He’s okay, but not presidential material. Hillary is. I think Hillary would have a much greater chance of winning than Biden in the final election.

      Biden bugs me that way his face is overly animated. I watch him in the background when Obama is speaking, and he makes the oddest faces and expressions. I find it horribly annoying. I know that has nothing to do with his ability to be prez, but I don’t want to watch that animation every time he would speak.

        • Nope. Not a good thing. That’s one item I really have liked about Obama and could see that from the beginning. He doesn’t like to knee-jerk react. Prefers to get as many facts as possible before he says something. But that drives the Republicans crazy!!! Twerps.

  2. I like Joe but Hillary has proved herself beyond a doubt. Let the Democrats be the party to break that glass ceiling.
    Actually, I look forward to the day when race and/or gender make no difference in politics.

    • lol… right. Makes you wonder what ol’ Bill saw in Monica. I think Bill was attracted more to the overall circumstances than anything. Being president… the Oval Office….

  3. In my humble opinion:Hilary is one of the brightest women in American politics,as she has proven for many years.I simply admire her skills.Americans would do them self a favor voting for her as President in 2016.

    • You’re not kidding there. And she’s already had to endure working with those nations which are very male dominate, like the Arab nations. We have no control, nor should we, over the culture of other countries. More and more women are stepping up into positions of power in various countries, so I imagine the heads of some of these countries are really having to learn to deal with it. I often wonder what they say behind the scenes.

  4. Four years is a long time…especially as we get older. And that’s a funny thing unto itself. As we get older time seems to pass faster.

    What I hope for is that the next four years add to the prosperity and well being of this nation and that during that time both Hilary and Joe stay healthy.

    I worry about the things Hilary has been through lately. She doesn’t look well. I’m hoping that she spends the next two years taking it a bit easier than she has over the past four.

    She’ll make an excellent President, though I’m not opposed to Joe. I do believe she’ll have more support than Joe, but I respect both. Joe Biden has been the cattle prod on many issues that needed to be taken care of by Obama.

    But as they say, (whoever they may be) sometimes the best man for the job is a woman…it’s about time and could there be a more credentialed woman than Hilary?

    One great thing for the Democratic Party…they have a retinue of quality people that can step into the leadership role.

    • Yes they do. Actually it is three years until the primaries start. I just hope that the Republican Party doesn’t pick another loser like Romney. Personally, out of last year’s bunch, Huntsman wasn’t bad. I’d like to see Christie run in 2016. There are some things he’s done and believes in and against that I don’t agree with, but then that is going to happen with every candidate for any party. What I like about Christie is he thinks for himself and is not led around by the likes of Karl Rove.

  5. I’m sure that like most of us watching, Hillary just had enough of Republican grandstanding. Especially Rand Paul asking about running guns from Libya to Turkey(?) which was a totally unfounded story started on…you guessed it, Fox News.
