How To Make Liposomal Vitamin C In An iSonic Ultrasonic Cleaner

How To Make Liposomal Vitamin C

Over the last few months, liposomal vitamins have been hailed as the best supplements to deliver vitamins to the body. It is important to understand what liposomal encapsulation technology LET entails in order to understand why these supplements may be very effective Read More…. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a vital water soluble vitamin, which the human body cannot manufacture and yet every single cell and tissue within our body requires this nutrient for healthy function and repair. We therefore have to ingest vitamin C through the foods that we consume including vegetables and fruits and by way of supplements. Most of us reach for this vitamin when we have colds or flu however its actions are very widespread. Maintaining optimal levels of vitamin C is difficult since it is water soluble and hence is excreted out of the body within a very short space of time after ingesting it through food or by way of supplements. Some vitamin C is retained in our body within organs and blood.

Liposomes have been intensively investigated as carriers for different applications in dermatology and cosmetics. Ascorbic acid has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties preventing photodamage of keratinocytes; however, due to its instability and low skin penetration, an appropriate carrier is mandatory to obtain desirable efficacy. The present work investigates the ability of a specific ascorbate phosphatidylcholine PC liposome to overcome the barrier of the stratum corneum and deliver the active agent into the dermis to prevent photodamage. Abdominal skin from ten patients was used. Penetration of PC liposomes was tested ex vivo in whole skin, epidermis, and dermis by means of fluorescein and sodium ascorbate. Histology and Franz diffusion cells were used to monitor the percutaneous absorption.

Liposomal Vitamin C, also taken orally, is powdered Vitamin C which has been encapsulated inside a liposome, this liposome acts as a transport layer and protects against the digestive juices. I'll be using an ultrasonic cleaner to do the encapsulation, and a stick type blender to create a uniform mix. Did you use this instructable in your classroom? Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson. A standard stick type blender is used, although just about any kitchen blender will do, not much more to say except check the blades for sharpness. One of the blades in my blender had a very rounded blunt edge, easily rectified with a dremel tool.

Meet the Miracle Man

Recipes for DIY liposomal vitamin C are found on the web. Common to all is the use of an ultrasonic bath to encapsulate ascorbic acid within liposomes to improve bioavailability of Vitamin C in the body. We offer several ultrasonic kits ideal for your DIY liposome production. Choose your liposomal vitamin C recipe then select the ultrasonic bath model best suited to the size of the batch. Here are our popular kits for preparation of liposomal vitamins in glass beakers. The beakers are suspended in an ultrasonic tank filled with water plus a bit of detergent and the ultrasonic energy penetrates the glass to treat the recipe. Some recipes recommend preparing liposomal vitamin C directly in the ultrasonic tank.

Helen Davis

The Melbourne Branch notes with sadness the death of Helen Davis. Described by Senator Kim Carr as ‘a committed activist at the industrial, political and community levels’, Helen lived a life of firsts. After starting work with Mistral Fans in 1970, she became a shop steward with the male dominated Amalgamated Metal Workers Union (AMWU). It was a position she would hold for more than eleven years. In 1981, Helen became the union’s first female organiser, and later a ‘foundation member of the Engineering Skilled Trade Board’. Helen excelled in fighting for, and representing, the members of her union for over twenty-one years.

It was not just the union which benefitted from Helen’s dedication. Her activism encompassed numerous other issues including campaigning against domestic violence, supporting state education and improving community health facilities. An ALP candidate for Preston local government she went on to become the first woman elected to that council, a position she would hold for 16 years, and which included two terms as Mayor: again a first for a woman in the area. Awarded life membership in the ALP, it seems appropriate to end again with Kim Carr’s description of Helen: ‘She was a comrade – strong, independent and forthright, yet staunchly loyal to the collective’. To her family, our deepest sympathies. Kim Carr’s obituary was published in The Age on 4 April.

Parabol’s platform works with communication software tools like Slack.

Parabol’s platform works with communication software tools like Slack.

Over the last year, the need for software tools to aid teams of remote employees has become obvious for most businesses. But Jordan Husney, co-founder and chief executive of Parabol Inc., said that wasn’t always the case.

Husney’s Alhambra-based company is the developer of a software platform that structures meetings taking place remotely or in a hybrid format, integrating with other communication software tools like the messaging app developed by Slack Technologies Inc.

The company was founded in 2015, and Husney, a former corporate adviser, said the process of building a customer base was slow-going at first.

“For years, I felt like a crazy person,” he said. “I would go and pitch investors, and they would consistently tell me, ‘This is a terrible idea; remote work will always be fringe.’”

Husney said things started to change in the years leading up to the pandemic, as remote collaboration between employees became more common.

“Then Covid hit, and it was just pure insanity,” he said.

After years of refining its product, Parabol began to see “hockey stick” growth, Husney said.

Last month, the company announced it had raised $8 million in a Series A funding round led by M12, the venture capital arm of Microsoft Corp. By that time, Parabol’s software platform had amassed more than 100,000 users across 3,000 companies. The company had also landed the Air Force as a customer in a deal worth $1.7 million.

Husney said the
 pandemic expanded the base of customers Parabol works with, bringing in companies that previously had little experience coordinating remote work. Still, he said, most of the companies using Parabol’s platform are those that support teams of agile software developers.

Agile refers to a set of practices used to coordinate teams of developers and to adjust goals to meet changing demands from users of the software being developed.

Husney said teams consciously using the agile framework quickly recognize the applications of Parabol’s software. One of the primary challenges facing the company now, he said, is demonstrating the effectiveness of the platform in a wide array of workplace contexts.

Husney said Parabol plans to use its new funding to roughly triple its workforce by the end of 2021 in an attempt to broaden its base of customers to businesses managing hybrid remote and in-person workplaces.

“There’s a spectrum to the way that knowledge work is done now,” Husney said. “We can be 100% co-located, we can be 100% remote, and we can set our preferences about where we want to be in between. Our company plays really well in that in-between space.”

LA Health Director Says The Next Six Weeks Are Critical

Even as coronavirus cases climb in parts of the United States, California is slowly lifting its pandemic restrictions. It's a welcome relief for Angelenos weary of locked venues and pleas to stay at home, but public health officials are worried.

For the first time since the color-coded tier system was put in place last fall, Los Angeles County is in the less restrictive orange tier, indicating fewer cases and spread, and allowing some indoor activities such as dining in a restaurant. On Tuesday, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that many coronavirus restrictions will lift on June 15 (although masking will still be required indoors), as long as cases remain low and the COVID-19 vaccine is readily available.

The move would eliminate the complex web of tiers and replace it with a statewide reopening of businesses to full capacity, although individual counties can still opt to have more restrictions depending on their circumstances. But the tantalizing prospect of summer barbeques and fireworks rests entirely on our behavior right now.

LAist spoke with Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer about a range of topics, including getting teenagers vaccinated and why this is such a critical time in the pandemic.

On The Potential Lifting Of Coronavirus Restrictions On June 15

I hear the promise of June 15 and a return to pre-pandemic times. I think many of the restrictions on capacity will disappear, but some of the basic infection control practices will be around for many weeks to come. We're going to need to make sure that we have masks to protect people who can't get vaccinated, like kids in schools. We've also got to wait and get a lot more information about vaccine effectiveness. The vaccines are so powerful right now. It's really good at protecting people from serious illness ... and from being hospitalized and from dying, but if 10% of everybody who's vaccinated can still become infected and we find out those people can still go ahead and and pass-on that infection, will need to continue to take care of each other by wearing masks.

On Vaccines Versus Variants

Part of me wants to just say, you know, folks, we are so very close right now. We are also so very much not there. If we're not particularly careful as we're doing more reopenings ... during these next six weeks, while we actually are able to accelerate the number of people who get vaccinated and have that protection, we could see an increase in cases. And we also could see, unfortunately, the dominance of some of these variants of concern, which are just more infectious. None of that would be good for us. And it would thwart our ability to get to that June 15 deadline. For the most part, everyone who dies [from COVID-19] from here on in is more than likely to be passing away because they weren't yet vaccinated. Our job is to keep everyone alive right now until they can get vaccinated.

On Contact Tracing In LA County

We're averaging about 50% of the new cases that actually complete our interviews. So we're going to be piloting some additional efforts in some of the hardest communities where we will now have community health workers that will be able to go and visit and allow us to be able to identify close contacts and get in touch with them.

On Getting Teenagers The Pfizer Vaccine After April 15

I think what we're going to end up needing to do is have some designated sites where young people know they'll be able to get vaccinated. It is highly likely that we'll find a fair number of sites that will be able to partner with the schools and at least for 16- to 17-year-old students, that may be one of the easier strategies if we can get it to work, where they can have an identified location within their school district where they'd be able to get vaccinated.

Translation procedures by zakhir essay

Adaptation For adapting to it, typically the translator works out concerning changing all the content and articles not to mention typically the style involving this Street inside your option which contours that will this recommendations regarding your vocabulary plus heritage inside any TL online community. Within broad, this operation is chosen because a good powerful process towards price together with culturally-bound words/expressions, metaphors plus illustrations or photos inside translation.

Which usually can be, that translator hotels so that you can rewriting this SLT in respect to be able to the poultry home business project method essay in typically the TLT.

Monia Bayar (2007)[16] argues this version is certainly based mostly with a couple of the distinction regarding bigot essay procedures: national substitution, paraphrase as well as omission.

Cultural replacement shifts to make sure you all the condition where this translator employs comparative key phrases which usually happen to be ready-made on typically the TL, and serve a exact mission as individuals involving the actual SL.

With several other key phrases, your translator replacements national words and phrases associated with the SL from societal sayings associated with your TL. The situation for cultural replacement might be obviously observed inside the particular translation with such proverbs: Nutting by simply willam wordsworth essay pere, tel fils – ???

Cite this page

?? ??? dissertation significato dei. Your lady can be faithful simply because essay enhancing practice egg – elle est innocente comme un agneau.

Throughout all of these two examples, most of us take note of that any translators change the STs just by words which often are usually culturally certain with the TL.

For model, a previous illustration takes advantage of a timeframe ‘agneau’ simply because some sort of social corresponding with regard to your phrase ‘egg’, ever since that second option transmits an important terrible symbolism, translation steps by simply zakhir essay is actually imbecility, for the reason that on a case study “ne fait pas l’oeuf” = “ne fait pas l’imbecile” (G.

Hardin students sending text messages within course essays c Picot, 1990).

[17] At this point, if the actual translator won't be able to locate any personal distinct manifestation that alternatives this emotional saying in the SL, he / she might location towards paraphrase. Paraphrase when a different process in variation purposes to help go over just about all personal difficulties the fact that this Street picture in franklin roosevelt essay existing.

This particular technique is actually based mostly relating to details, additions along with improve during words order.

For case in point, this English tongue metaphor “he will be the forward without the need of compass” offers very little ethnical identical phrase on Persia, thereby, all the expression may well often be converted like “??? ???? ?? ???? ?? ?????? ?? ????

This method could turn out to be the consequence for any cultural clashes this are present relating to a SL and all the TL.

Inside basic fact, the application is around subtitling translation where omission attains the country's best throughout utilize. a translator omits phrases translation steps by just zakhir essay carry out not have equivalents through a TT, or perhaps the fact that could possibly raise typically the hostility in typically the receptor.

Meant for situation, Arab-speaking translators typically leave out The english language taboo words like when ‘fuck off’ and even ‘shit’, at the same time converting window films straight into Persia, just meant for a benefit in respecting all the Arab receptors, what individuals may never accept this take advantage of with such thoughts considering with your culture.

The process will be equally resorted to while converting right from Moroccan Persia to English: MA: /3annaq SaHbo wmsaw bzuz lyid flyid/.

Eng: The guy put on his or her youngster acquaintance tightly in addition to decided along.

Listed here, most people notice which usually this translator omits typically the Persia words /lyid flyid/, ‘hand through hand’, seeing that the following take action misleads Speech receptors so could possibly wrongly diagnosed the close friends associated with remaining homosexuals, instead regarding considering the particular take action because a great normal one.

In little, undoubtedly, edition, as you from this nearly all precisely designed types of procedures for interpretation, expands the readability involving the actual TT throughout a good translation techniques by way of zakhir essay of which helps receptors have an understanding of typically the Street ideas, graphics, metaphors together with society thru your individual dialect and additionally community.

Ethnical substitution, paraphrase and additionally omission feature many scenarios regarding translators. Nonetheless, a second item a couple of models are actually yet your subject matter from a whole lot controversy, mainly pertaining to some of those so maintain any approach connected with fidelity with translation.

Lakers Vs. Pacers Preview: L.A. Hoping To Pick Up First Win Of Road Trip
Lakers Vs. Pacers Preview: L.a. Hoping To Pick Up First Win Of Road Trip
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

The Los Angeles Lakers (1-2) head to Indianapolis to face the Pacers (1-2) for the first of their two meetings this year.

The Lakers come off a tough road loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who pulled away late to win 113-96. The Lakers came within 4 points with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but Russell Westbrook was able to turn on the jets and lead the Thunder to a comfortable victory.

The Indiana Pacers started off with a win against the Dallas Mavericks followed up with losses to the Brooklyn Nets and the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers should look to kick the Pacers while they are down and get their first victory on their four-game road trip.

During the offseason, the Pacers traded away one native Indiana point guard, George Hill, for another in Jeff Teague. With this trade, the Pacers hope to improve on the offensive side of the ball as well as quicken their pace. Teague averaged 15.7 points and 5.9 assists compared to Hill’s 12.1 points and 3.5 assists last season. Teague hasn’t gotten off to a good start this season and was held scoreless in his last game versus the Bulls.

Teague’s running mate, Monta Ellis, is also looking to get things going versus the Lakers. Ellis looked good against the Mavericks scoring 19 points while shooting 63% from the field. His play has fallen off in the last two games however, scoring a combined 13 points on 29.2% shooting.

D’Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson should be excited about their matchup against the Pacers. Both Ellis and Teague are not known to be defensive juggernauts and Russell and Clarkson both hold a physical advantage over the Pacers small guards. The last couple of games Russell hasn’t shot the ball very efficiently; look for him to get some easy buckets in the post to get himself going tonight against the small Pacers backcourt.

The Pacer’s biggest strength comes from their front court that is led by Paul George and Myles Turner.

Myles Turner is averaging 21 points and 10.3 rebounds, including a monster opening night when he tallied 30 points and 16 rebounds. Turner is only in his second season, but has great post moves for such a young player, can also step outside and hit jumpers, and is a great rim protector as well.

Paul George is an All-NBA talent and needs to be contained. George is the motor of the Pacers offense and can quickly take over a game. Paul George is currently averaging 22.3 points, 6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists.

Julius Randle was the biggest bright spot in the Lakers last game versus the Thunder. He will need to continue to attack the basket, score efficiently, and get others involved. Most importantly however, will be keeping up his activity as Thaddeus Young will make Randle pay if he loses focus defensively or on the boards.

Mozgov will be a major piece in stopping Turner. He needs to stay out of foul trouble and help take care of Turner for the whole game. Luol Deng will be assigned to Paul George. Deng won’t be looked at to contribute a lot offensively, so he needs to focus on shutting George down.

Keys to Victory:

Limit Points in the Paint: Against the Oklahoma City Thunder the Lakers allowed 62 points in the paint. Allowing easy buckets isn’t a formula to win games. Luol Deng needs to keep Paul George from wrecking havoc and getting into the paint with ease. Also, the Lakers’ guards need to keep Teague and Ellis out of the paint and force them into tough perimeter shots.

Stop the Turnovers: The Lakers are averaging 19.5 turnovers in their two losses this season. Turnovers lead to fast break opportunities, which either result in a high percentage layup or an open three. Winning the turnover battle means the Lakers will have more easy shots and have a better chance of winning the game.

Make Open Shots: In these last two losses, the Lakers are shooting 39.2% overall and 29.1 % from three while shooting nearly 30 threes a game. The Lakers aren’t forcing up awful shots as many of them are good, open looks that just aren’t falling. If the Lakers are going to take that many threes, they better start falling or it’s that much easier for teams to get out in transition.

The future is unknown. It is a journey, an adventure. And above all, it is a challenge. Lamborghini has never shied away from challenges, which is precisely why it created the new Aventador SVJ. To combine cutting-edge technology with extraordinary design, without ever coming to compromises.

In a future driven by technology, it’s easy to lose track of emotions. But in the future we are shaping, real emotions won’t be left behind. Because at the wheel, there will always be a person.

The Emotion

The Lamborghini driving experience isn’t easy to put into words: a stupefying mix of exceptional performance, groundbreaking technology and perfect aerodynamics.

Yet there is one more element that is utterly indispensable for the future we envision: real emotions. The vehicle’s impeccable dynamics and the outstanding performance of the new 770 CV naturally-aspirated V12 engine combine with the mastery of a superior design, in which prized and exclusive materials forge a symbiosis with the car’s ultra-lightweight body. Because the future we have in mind can only exist when uncompromising aesthetic perfection meets unparalleled performance and thrill-inducing aerodynamics.

Exterior design

Ultra-lightweight materials conceived for maximum performance give rise to breathtaking design: that’s what makes the new Aventador SVJ unique and unrivaled.

Enhanced aerodynamic profiles, a fully redesigned front, larger side skirts, the omega-shaped rear wing and lighter, higher exhaust outlets are implanted into the featherlight carbon fiber chassis, which is equipped with wisely-distributed air intakes that are both different and larger than on any previous model. Lightness and performance in constant pursuit of each other.

With its unique colour and trim, the SVJ 63 special edition emphasizes the abundance of carbon fiber in the design. This limited edition of only 63 vehicles was produced to mark Lamborghini’s founding year of 1963. Watch the images of the Aventador SVJ 63 in the gallery

The technological look of carbon fiber – featured in the monocoque which forms the cockpit and recurring in the doors, seats, central tunnel and console – coexists with a design of clear aeronautical inspiration, while the leather and Alcantara® upholstery add a boldly exclusive touch to the luxurious interiors.Finally, the exquisite cross-stitching details and notable presence of the SVJ internal plate confer a truly unique character to this new gem of engineering and highly-refined aesthetics.

This Punitive Society

I want to be on the stand and say to them: What did she do? What did she do wrong? She chose the wrong men, and for this you want to punish her, as our society punishes women who let men abuse them, as if it was a choice. We forgive the wrongdoer and attack the victim, because we hate victims, even as we are victims. You should have known better! You should have made a better choice! Your choice was wrong, and we as judges, juries, and executioners know this! You should not have made these mistakes and for this, we judge you. For this, we sentence you and punish you for your sins, for your flaws. You were a good mother, but that is not good enough because you never would have been a mother if you had not chosen men who would abuse you. Of course, this line of reasoning falls apart because she could very well have been a mother if she had not chosen these men. But of course she would not have these children. These children will be harmed because of her choices. These children will be harmed too because of their abusive fathers, but we don’t hold the fathers accountable, only the mothers. These abusive men didn’t know any better, but she did. She knew and she chose wrong and for this, she shall pay with their loss. Their pains are her pains. She will suffer for her sins and so will they.

This society is so fucking fucked and fucked up. I can hardly bear it. We are so punitive, so judgmental, so holier-than-thou, such critics.  Critics. We all sit and judge. Our whole culture. We love to annihilate victims for having been victims. In doing so we can ignore the victims in ourselves. We get to be the rescuer in our judiciousness. I will save you from your victimhood, you fool.

It all just makes me want to scream.

I am really at the point where I can’t stand all the judgments in this world.  Everyone seems to know what everyone else should have done.  I’m not a Bible person, but there are adages in there (and other religious texts) that would be useful for us to consider.  One of these is the quote about the sawdust in another’s eye while ignoring the plank in one’s own.

I’m certainly not immune to this.  When I heard about the woman who birthed 8 children, even though I was telling anyone who would listen to stop carrying on about her parent’s bankruptcy and other choices she made, I was still asking aloud why she had IVF in the first place.

I do try, though, to accept that each person has their own journey, their own lessons to learn, and sometimes what may be easier for one with certain life experiences may seem impossible to another with a different set of circumstances.  It is so easy to judge from afar when we really have no concept of another’s life, even if we’ve lived with them.  It is so easy to state what someone “should have done,” especially with the benefit of hindsight and our own experiences.  People are so unwilling to consider things from another’s perspective, as if in judgment one is able to deflect attention away from the self.  There is also the group mentality at play in many cases; it feels better to sit in judgment against one with many than to be the lone voice of distinction.

I get it that this is a shitty little blurb, not backed up by anything other than ranting, and not well articulated, but I’m sick.  I have a horrible upper chest cold.  I am sick to my stomach and on the verge of vomiting most of the time.  I don’t have it in me to write something perfectly articulate and original.  I just wanted to say what I said.

Once again into my files

As I mentioned before Christmas I have been going back over the photo folders on my computer to try and bring together key photos. Well, I’m still at it. And every time I hook up another external hard drive I find more I forgot about. It is amazing how much I can remember about the circumstances of every photograph. Much better than a diary. Photoshop makes a great record of the days I spend on the road or in the woods.
Anyway, one of the reasons I am doing this is I have decided to self publish a kids ebook about wildlife. A number of years ago I did a hard copy book that was shared amongst a group of family kids and was quite successful. So being slightly insane I have decided to broaden the challenge.
I see so many kids, even out here in the middle of all this nature, who have never seen some of the sights I have seen. But rather than a print run an eBook will provide the opportunity to get the book further out there. My current photo books are printed but are in limited release. I will show you them next post.
So this has become my focus of the review of my photos. In the next while I will include some of the sets as posts to get some feedback from you about their suitability for kids. That is, interesting enough and telling a story. I like using a group of photos that show an event. I have considered getting a GoPro and doing more video but find the challenge to be ‘where/how do I display a video?’ But the video option hasn’t been eliminated. One of my cameras has video capability so I am playing with it for now. Another software program to learn. Sigh.
Today’s photos are one of those series of shots that show a specific event. I have probably shown one of the shots in a previous post.
It’s one that surprised me for the technical success of the shots, lighting was not great, nor was my location. But thanks to my Nikon D3S, they turned out – I think. Quite often, at the time I initially review the photographs I discount them for some reason, probably compared to other photos I got that day. So it’s only when I go back with a more discerning eye that I see their merit.
So join me in watching an immature eagle land in the trees with a very succulent kokanee to enjoy.

Poor fish!

  1. I think your e book idea for kids is wonderful!! I know how hard it is to find good books for children about nature especially for children between say six and twelve. There’s lots of books for little ones who can’t read and lots of books for preteen and teenagers but there’s a real gap. I remember trying to get books that would interest my kids and then the same thing happened with the grandkids. And that age is very interested in nature! Not just pictures but info too, right! Anyway, good luck!

Reflections on Jimmy Carter’s Reflections: A Review of the Simple Faith Bible

Introduction – Offending Most of You Before We Get Started

I was talking to someone the other day about the opportunity that I have from Zondervan to review this unique Bible. Of course, the conversation moved to politics since Jimmy Carter in a former President of the United States. The person that I was talking to said that they didn’t understand why Carter was chosen for this project.

I said that I didn’t know the specific reason why, but I would have to assume that it’s probably because he’s the only President in recent history who claims to be a Christian and has actually shown any fruit of the Spirit in his dealings and decision-making.

His responded with a dismissal and some generic comment about the ineffectiveness of Carter’s administration. This wasn’t the first comment that I’ve heard like that about Carter’s presidency and it won’t be the last. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not under any grand delusion about President Carter’s administration, but I also feel that there was a legitimate reason for Carter’s limitations as a leader. The reason is simple – He’s a Christian.

What does it say about us as a nation when someone can’t be seen as an effective President simply because being seen as such would compromise their commitment to follow and live like Christ would have them to live? It’s no coincidence that the same people who frown upon Jimmy Carter’s effectiveness as a President applaud and revere the way our current administration bullies others and “tells it like it is.”

However, the primary purpose of this post isn’t to wax political or to expose what is clearly a giant hypocrisy within the conservative evangelical movement at large.

Why I’ve Gathered You All Here in the First Place

Zondervan was kind enough to send me a Leathertouch copy of the Simple Faith Bible and upon opening the box a certain smell hit me in the face. You know the one. The smell of a brand new Bible. That’s the smell that I want to capture in an aerosol can and spray into the air any time I need a quick aroma therapy boost.

When I turned the pages, I heard the distinct light popping and cracking of the golden guilding breaking up. Just like with any new Bible I hold in my hands, I was excited from the very beginning.

As you open the first page, you immediately see a guide to the features of this piece.

Two features of note are the Bible in Life and the Bible in Focus pieces. These brief articles are excerpts from Jimmy Carter’s own personal devotions. These pieces provide insight and personal application into the text at hand.

The 9.5 size of the font is great for people who ordinarily have to strain to read, and while I’m not a fan of Zondervan’s ComfortPrint, they could’ve done worse with their font choice.

All of that being said, this is not a study bible for ivory tower theologians. If that’s what you’re expecting, you’ll be disappointed. However, if you’re looking for a light everyday carry and you’re a fan of the NRSV, then this is definitely for you. As a matter of fact, I would say that this would be great if you’re looking for a decent preaching Bible on a budget. It feels great in your hand and the the Leathertouch feels just like real leather. The paste down paper liner kind of gives it away that it’s not real leather, but the illusion is very good upon first opening the box.

This is a great Bible for devotional reading, carrying to church, or as I said, preaching. The guilding is actually very good for a Bible that isn’t typically considered ‘premium.’ I could actually see my reflection in the gold until I got my fingerprints all over it from reading through it.

The price on the back of the box is $59.99. Honestly, I think this is kind of steep for what it is, but you could easily get this for much cheaper on

In conclusion, this would actually be a really good Bible for someone who needs a Bible for devotional purposes, but doesn’t want to be bogged down with a lot of extra study materials that they could easily find on or

Kayode Fayemi
GOVERNOR Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State stated, yesterday, that insecurity in Nigeria is a consequence of unemployment, adding that more steps should be taken to address the menace.

Speaking at a programme tagged: Financing Safe Schools, Fayemi said there is a need for a coordinated response to unemployment and addressing the socio-economic effects on citizens.

His words: “Even when we do all that is required of us, that is stemming the tide of the problem of insecurity and brigandage, I think we need to look at the broader socio-economic response.

“It is good to be tough on crime. We must be tougher on the causes of crime. You cannot have a 33 per cent unemployment rate in any country and not expect to deal with the sociological implication of that. And that is an area that the Nigeria Governors’ Forum believes we must also work collaboratively with our partners, also work with our financial institutions and the private sector to find the best mechanism to bring our youths to work.

“If we do that, we would have fundamentally played our role in addressing the causes of this untoward crisis that the country is dealing with.”

Also speaking on how insecurity has affected schoolchildren, the Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, said Nigerians need to speak out against the “disturbing trend”.

Tallen said: “Since 2014, it has been one incident after the other. We’ve been battling with out-of-school children, ensuring that we reach out and increase advocacy for our children to be in school.

“But with the insecurity, what has happened in Zamfara, Kagara, Kaduna has created so much fear in the minds of parents. And if parents are scared of sending children to schools, where do we run to?

“Education is the greatest hope, life, wealth, and power. I call on all of us to be ambassadors, vanguards of speaking out, of giving the right information to our security chiefs. Government alone cannot do all. It is an emergency on our hands.”

Isle of Wight League – Division One

SHANKLIN 2 (Nash 7 14) Sam Hart missed penalty 31

COWES SPORTS RESERVES 2 (Holdsworth 55 83)

Att c35

Entry FREE

If you’re the kind of person who looks for the cheapest and easiest way to do things, you’d never use the hovercraft to get to the Isle of Wight. The parking in Southsea is just too expensive, and its so much more straightforward to take the car across from Southampton to Cowes. But life isn’t about treading the path most trodden, and it was Robyn’s birthday after all!

There is one little money-saving tip that has popped up since I last used the hovercraft. With the Island Line now being run by South West Trains, a deal has been done with Hovertravel so if you book the hovercraft and the train together, you get a day’s travel on the Island Line for less than a quid!

Now with the Island Line still using the Class 483, 1938 ex London Underground Northern Line trains, due to the lack of clearance in the tunnel after Ryde Esplanade station I fully intended to write this part of the article as a piece on gently crumbling obsolescence. The hovercraft was showing its age, and the railway has all the feel of a heritage line, even if at present it is still part of the national network. However that idea disappeared into the ozone when we arrived at Ryde Hoverport to find the new hovercraft ready for service!

You do rattle down the 8.5 miles of the line passing Brading Town along the way, and to get to the County Ground you have the option of alighting at Lake Station or the terminus at Shanklin.

We picked Lake to alight, it is a slightly shorter walk to the County Ground and there is the unusual feature of crossing the line via a gate on the way. Shanklin’s ground sits right on the border between Lake and Shanklin, and seems to straddle the ambiance between municipal and homespun.

Clearly there used to be far more to the place, even over and above the mementoes of the Island Games’ visit to the Isle of Wight. The route of a track is still visible, and the grass banks are man-made. The place is a mecca for dog walkers, who took time out to stop and watch the game for a few minutes.

Those dogs, or rather their waste, is  part of the reason the club took over the running of the County Ground, via a 99 year lease from the Isle of Wight Council. I do wonder though what the potential here is for the club. On one hand the ground’s footprint is huge, with only the railway the bordering one side and the clubhouse the other. However the place would be difficult to enclose, and as for floodlights.. who knows?

Perhaps progress in an FA ground grading sense isn’t relevant here. To be promoted from the Island League means fortnightly trips over the Solent, a massive undertaking and one that Brading Town found too much for them, dropping out of the Wessex League in 2012. I suspect that the finances of mainland football means that for many clubs the Isle of Wight league remains the limit their ambitions.

The game proved to be far better than the first few minutes suggested. A young looking Cowes Sports side were two-nil down and had lost Harrison McCarthy to a suspected dislocated shoulder, and should have been three down and out of sight when Sam Hart missed (and I do mean missed) penalty. Even then the game looked like a question of how many Shanklin would get, and even with the benefit of hindsight I’m not sure how Cowes found their way back into it.

You tend to see it as either Shanklin easing off, or Cowes finding inspiration, probably it was a bit of both. Either way, it was stirring stuff as Ben Holdsworth scored twice to bring his side a point that had looked unlikely at the start, and by the end could easily been all an incredible away win. What a time to be a neutral!

If it is a slightly longer walk to Shanklin station, it is at least downhill all the way, and I have enough OCD to want to travel the whole length of the Island Line, even if since Beeching the extra few miles through the St Boniface Down tunnel to Ventnor have long since been closed.

At first glance Shanklin does look like a terminus station, just the extra, unused platform gives a clue of glories past. Otherwise it’s a typical sleepy Southern Railways station albeit one with unusual rolling stock!

But the fun lies at the other end of the line, at Ryde. Since the catamaran docks at the end of Ryde Pier, Ryde Pier Head station still exists to serve it. So for now the Island Line’s final treat is to allow you ride the train over water then walk back along the pier tracing the route of the former electric tramway closed in 1969. There aren’t many more unusual ways to get to and from a football match!

Connally v. State

Annotate this Case

237 Ga. 203 (1976)

227 S.E.2d 352

Supreme Court of Georgia.

Argued February 9, 1976.

Decided July 9, 1976.

Hatcher & Daniel, David P. Daniel, for appellant.

Earl B. Self, District Attorney, Jon B. Wood, Assistant District Attorney, Isaac Byrd, Staff Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

UNDERCOFLER, Presiding Justice.

Defendant, John Connally, was indicted, tried and convicted for having marijuana in his possession and under his control in violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act (Code Ann. Ch. 79A-8), and received an *204 eight year sentence. He appeals raising four points of error. We affirm.

Acting on information from a detective of the Chattanooga Police Narcotics division, who had received a tip from an informer that Connally would be receiving a shipment of two tons of marijuana, the Walker County authorities drew up a search warrant for Connally's house and presented it and their information to a justice of the peace for his signature. About ten days later, the same Chattanooga detective placed a call for the informer to Connally from the detective's residence, while he listened on an extension, to inquire about the shipment. He overheard Connally tell the informer that Rick and Tom, two Mexicans making the contact, had gotten in a fight in Texas, had been cut up, and would not be making their connection. He, however, had a new contact and hoped to obtain about three to four hundred pounds shortly. A few days later, under the same eavesdrop arrangement from the detective's home, the informant agreed to buy one hundred pounds at around one hundred dollars per pound when the shipment arrived. Connally later called the informer at his residence. On the basis of this phone call, the detective and informer met with the Walker County investigator, obtained a new search warrant, and raided Connally's house. There, they arrested Connally and several others, and seized some large garbage bags of green leafy material, a closetful of bricks of the same material, and several live plants growing in pots around a swimming pool. This material was identified by a crime lab expert as Cannabis sativa L., marijuana.

1. Connally moved to suppress the evidence seized under the search warrant issued by the justice of the peace. He contended the justice was not a "neutral and detached magistrate" because he had a pecuniary interest in issuing the warrant, in that he is on a fee system and receives $5 for issuing a search warrant. Code Ann. § 24-1601. The trial court denied the motion. We affirm.

Connally relies upon Shadwick v. Tampa, 407 U.S. 345, 350 (92 SC 2119, 32 LE2d 783) (1972), and similar cases which state that an issuing magistrate must be "neutral and detached" together with Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 531 (47 SC 437, 71 LE 749) (1927), which held: *205 "From this review we conclude, that a system by which an inferior judge is paid for his service only when he convicts the defendant has not become so embedded by custom in the general practice either at common law or in this country that it can be regarded as due process of law, unless the costs usually imposed are so small that they may be properly ignored as within the maxim de minimis non curat lex." See Bennett v. Cottingham, 290 FSupp. 759, affd., 393 U.S. 317 (1969).

Connally argues that applying the rationale of these cases it must be concluded that the justice of the peace was not neutral and detached in issuing the search warrant here because unless he issues it he is not paid. The U. S. Supreme Court has not so held and we decline to do so. We discern a difference in the principles announced in these decisions and are not prepared to construe them together as Connally suggests. Shadwick and similar cases have established only that the "neutral and detached magistrate" required to determine probable cause is one independent of the police and prosecution. No contention is made here that the justice of the peace is not independent in that regard.

On the other hand, Tumey and its progeny condemn convictions by a judicial officer who has a substantial pecuniary interest in fines and costs levied against the defendant upon his conviction. This is quite different than the inquiry and adjudication of probable cause for the issuance of a search warrant, where the defendant is not convicted and subjected to fine or imprisonment. The former is not a legal dispute. It is necessarily a unilateral proceeding and only determines probable cause, and is conducted frequently by a person without formal legal training. The dispute and adversary proceedings concerning the validity of the warrant must be raised in the trial court upon a motion to suppress. Code Ann. § 27-313. It is adjudicated there by a judge trained in the law and not on a fee basis. The state has the burden of proving the search and seizure was lawful. Code Ann. § 27-313 (b).

We note too that the justice of the peace is not dependent upon an adjudication by the trial court that the search warrant was issued lawfully, nor upon the *206 conviction of the defendant, to be entitled to his fee. His fee is paid by the county out of any fines and forfeitures arising in such county. Code § 27-2906. Also, we are not persuaded that a justice of the peace would violate his oath to earn a $5.00 fee and are inclined to the view that the amount involved in issuing or refusing to issue a search warrant falls within the de minimis rule. The justice of the peace testified that he had refused to issue search warrants on some occasions.

We have not overlooked Ward v. Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57 (93 SC 80, 34 LE2d 267) (1972) wherein it was held that the defendant was denied a neutral and detached judicial officer where he was compelled to stand trial before the mayor who was responsible for village finances and whose court through fines, forfeitures, costs, and fees provided a substantial portion of village funds. As stated at p. 62, footnote 2, "The question presented on this record is the constitutionality of the Mayor's participation in the adjudication and punishment of a defendant in a litigated case where he elects to contest the charges against him..."

We equate the instant case with Bevan v. Krieger, 289 U.S. 459, 465 (53 SC 661, 77 LE 1316) (1933) where it is stated, "The appellant Bevan also advances the contention that the notary had such a pecuniary interest in compelling the testimony as would disqualify him, and deprive his rulings of the impartiality required for due process. Notaries are entitled to fees of twenty-five cents per hundred words for taking and certifying depositions (General Code, §§ 127, 1746-2). These are paid in the first instance by the party taking the depositions, and are taxable as costs in the suit. It appears from the record that it is also customary for the notary if, as in this case, he happens to be a stenographer, to take the testimony stenographically and to furnish additional copies to the parties at a charge somewhat less per hundred words than is provided in the statute. These facts are said to bring the case within the principle announced in Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510. But we think the suggested analogy does not exist. Tumey, as mayor of a city, sat as a magistrate. His judgments were final as to certain offenses, unless wholly unsupported by evidence. The law awarded him a substantial fee if he found an offender guilty, and none in *207 case of acquittal. Tumey's interest was direct and obvious; but the possibility that the extent of the notary's services and the amount of his compensation may be affected by his ruling is too remote and incidental to vitiate his official action. Moreover, his action lacks the finality which attached to the judgment in the Tumey case, as it is subject to review. . ." Thus we conclude that there is no merit to Connally's second enumeration of error.

2. In Connally's first enumeration of error he complains that the agent's mere statement that the informer consented to the eavesdropping on the informer's telephone conversation with the defendant was insufficient to satisfy Code Ann. § 26-3006,[1] and deprived Connally of his right to confront the witnesses against him. The government is privileged to refuse to identify its informers in order to encourage citizens to come forward with information relevant to law enforcement. Code Ann. § 38-1102; Pass v. State, 227 Ga. 730 (182 SE2d 779) (1971); Morgan v. State, 211 Ga. 172 (84 SE2d 365) (1954). Connally urges, however, that Roviaro v. United States, 353 U.S. 53, 60 (77 SC 623, 1 LE2d 639) (1957) must be read to require disclosure "[w]here the disclosure of an informer's[2] identity, or of the contents of his communication, is relevant and helpful to the defense of an accused, or is essential to a fair determination of a cause, . . ." Since the admissions of Connally would thus be inadmissible without the informer's consent, he claims the informer's identity was "essential to his defense" in that only the informer could refute the detective's statement that consent was given. We disagree.

*208 Without deciding whether or not this rule is applicable to informers as well as decoys,[3] we hold that in any case, where the evidence sought from the unidentified source is required by the defendant on "the mere possibility that the police might be impeached [it] is not enough to demand disclosure of the informer's identity." Scull v. State, 122 Ga. App. 696, 701 (178 SE2d 720) (1970). Accord, On Lee v. United States, 343 U.S. 747 (72 SC 967, 96 LE 1270) (1952); United States v. Soles, 482 F2d 105 (2d Cir., 1973). This is especially true where, as here, the detective's testimony that the call was placed by him from his own home, that the informer and he pulled extension phones into the hallway where the detective, with a rag over his phone, could signal to the informer as to what to say, and that the informant met with the Walker County investigators in the detective's company lends credibility to his assertion that the informer in fact consented. We find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in refusing to require that the state disclose the informer's identity. Taylor v. State, 136 Ga. App. 31 (220 SE2d 49) (1975).

3. There is no merit to Connally's third contention that the court erred in failing to give his requested charges on joint occupancy as the substance of these requests was covered by the charge given.

4. The fact that the defense offered an expert witness who testified that Cannabis sativa L. and indica were separate species did not require the trial court to direct a verdict of acquittal. Although the state's expert from the crime lab admitted that his tests did not distinguish among Cannabis sativa L., indica, or roteralis, he also stated that the majority view was that these were all varieties of the species Cannabis sativa L.,[4] possession of which is proscribed by the law. The credibility of these experts was a question properly left to the jury and the court so charged. We hold that the trial court did not err in failing to direct a verdict for Connally. See Boyd v. State, *209 207 Ga. 567 (63 SE2d 394) (1951). See also Ginn v. Morgan, 225 Ga. 192 (167 SE2d 393) (1969).

The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Hall, J., who concurs in Divisions 2, 3, and 4 and the judgment, and Gunter and Hill, JJ., who dissent.

GUNTER, Justice, dissenting.

The appellant was indicted, tried, and convicted for having marijuana in his possession and under his control, in violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. He has appealed his conviction and one of his enumerated errors here is: "The court erred in denying the appellant's motion to suppress certain alleged evidence which was admitted and used against the appellant in the Superior Court of Walker County."

The appellant moved in the trial court to suppress evidence obtained by law enforcement officers as the result of a search made pursuant to a warrant issued by a Justice of the Peace. The motion contended that the search violated the Georgia Constitution and the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution in that the warrant "was not issued by a neutral and detached magistrate." The motion further contended that the Justice of the Peace who issued the warrant was compensated solely on the fee system, that if he issued a search warrant he was compensated the sum of five dollars, and that if he did not issue the requested search warrant, he was not compensated at all. Code Ann. § 24-1601.

Paragraph 10 of the motion to suppress stated: "Because of these constitutional provisions, the defendant is entitled to have a neutral and detached magistrate *210 decide whether or not probable cause existed for the issuance of a search warrant and in this case as is indicated by the record, and is amply illustrated by the fact that the issuing magistrate had a financial interest in issuing the warrant and would have lost money had he not issued the warrant, there was no neutral and detached magistrate and thereby, the search of the defendant's premises was unreasonable."

I conclude that the motion to suppress the evidence should have been granted by the trial judge, the evidence should not have been used in the trial against the defendant, and I would reverse the judgment.

In Shadwick v. City of Tampa, 407 U.S. 345, 350 (1972), the United States Supreme Court said: "The substance of the Constitution's warrant requirements does not turn on the labeling of the issuing party. The warrant traditionally has represented an independent assurance that a search and arrest will not proceed without probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed and that the person or place named in the warrant is involved in the crime. Thus, an issuing magistrate must meet two tests. He must be neutral and detached, and he must be capable of determining whether probable cause exists for the requested arrest or search. This Court long has insisted that inferences of probable cause be drawn by a `neutral and detached magistrate instead of being judged by the officer engaged in the often competitive enterprise of ferreting out crime.' Johnson v. United States, supra, at 14; Giordenello v. United States, supra, at 486. In Coolidge v. New Hampshire, supra, the Court last term voided a search warrant issued by the state attorney general `who was actively in charge of the investigation and later was to be chief prosecutor at the trial.' Id., at 450. If, on the other hand, detachment and capacity do conjoin, the magistrate has satisfied the Fourth Amendment's purpose."

In Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 453 (1971), the United States Supreme Court said: "We find no escape from the conclusion that the seizure and search of the Pontiac automobile cannot constitutionally rest upon the warrant issued by the state official who was the chief investigator and prosecutor in this case. Since he *211 was not the neutral and detached magistrate required by the Constitution, the search stands on no firmer ground than if there had been no warrant at all."

In Bennett v. Cottingham, 290 FSupp. 759, 762 (1968), a three-judge court said: "Since no provision of law is made for the payment of the fees of Justices of the Peace on charges based upon highway violations in the event of an acquittal or nolle prosequi, Justices of the Peace must go unremunerated unless they convict. The scales of justice are thereby weighted on the side of a conviction. Such a situation is interdicted by the decision in Tumey v. State of Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 47 S. Ct. 437, 71 L. Ed. 749, where it was said:

`[I]t certainly violates the Fourteenth amendment, and deprives a defendant in a criminal case of due process of law to subject his liberty or property to the judgment of a court, the judge of which has a direct, personal, substantial pecuniary interest in reaching a conclusion against him in his case.

"The mayor of the village of North College Hill, Ohio, had a direct, personal pecuniary interest in convicting the defendant who came before him for trial, in the $12 of costs imposed in his behalf, which he would not have received if the defendant had been acquitted. This was not exceptional, but was the result of the normal operation of the law and the ordinance.' See Hulett v. Julian, supra, where Tumey was applied under similar facts to those here involved."

Bennett v. Cottingham was affirmed by the United States Supreme Court, 393 U.S. 317 (89 SC 554, 21 LE2d 513) (1969).

See also Ward v. Village of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57 (1972), where it was held that an accused was denied a trial before a disinterested and impartial judicial officer as guaranteed by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment where he was compelled to stand trial for traffic offenses before the mayor, who was responsible for village finances and whose court through fines, forfeitures, costs and fees provided a substantial portion of village funds.

The Justice of the Peace in this case, though having the capacity to issue the warrant, was not a neutral and *212 detached magistrate. This is so because if he made an affirmative finding of probable cause and issued the warrant, he was compensated; but if he rendered a finding of no probable cause, and declined to issue the warrant, he was not compensated. I simply cannot hold that neutrality and detachment exist in such a situation.

Georgia procedure provides that a defendant aggrieved by an unlawful search and seizure may move to suppress the evidence seized on the ground that a search warrant was illegally executed, and if the warrant was illegally executed, the fruit of the search "shall not be admissible in evidence against the movant in any trial." Code Ann. § 27-313.

The problem with Georgia's Justice of the Peace system in the areas of search warrants, arrest warrants, and commitment hearings is that the Justice of the Peace is compensated if he finds "probable cause" in cases in each of these three areas, but if he does not find "probable cause" in cases in each of these three areas, he is not compensated. Code Ann. § 24-1601. I believe that self-interest, whether enlightened or unenlightened, is the first principle applicable to all human beings. And applying that principle in these three areas to all Georgia Justices of the Peace, I do not think they are "neutral and detached" in making their determinations of "probable cause" in these three areas.

The Fourth Amendment and its equivalent in the Georgia Constitution (Code Ann. § 2-116) provide that "no warrant shall issue except upon probable cause." This provision in the two Constitutions is, to me, devoid of any meaning whatsoever if the state allows its officer that it has clothed with authority to be compensated with money if he finds probable cause in a particular case but denies him compensation if he does not find probable cause in a particular case. It just seems to me that the state has "stacked the deck" in its favor by authorizing payment to its judicial officers for a finding of probable cause for the issuance of search warrants, arrest warrants, and commitments by courts of inquiry.

My brothers of the majority obviously do not believe that this method of compensation for Justices of the Peace in Georgia violates either of the two Constitutions, at *213 least in the search warrant area. I respectfully disagree. I do not think that a warrant for the search of a citizen's house should be issued except upon determination of "probable cause" made by a neutral and detached judicial officer, one who is not compensated for a finding in favor of the state.

If the Georgia Supreme Court will not enforce this constitutional principle, it now seems that the only other place for attaining its enforcement is in the Supreme Court of the United States by a writ of certiorari. In Stone v. Powell (Number 74-1055, decided July 6, 1976), the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that search-and-seizure claims, unsuccessfully asserted in state criminal proceedings, cannot be raised in federal habeas corpus review of state convictions.

It therefore seems to me that the court's decision in the instant case today effectively nullifies Fourth Amendment claims based on the non-neutrality of a Justice of the Peace who found probable cause for the issuance of a search warrant.

It is my view that the prosecution by the state of a criminal case, including the gathering of evidence by the state and the use of evidence by the state during a trial, is an integral part of a "fair criminal trial" that is required by the Due Process Clauses found in the Federal and Georgia Constitutions.

I further think that evidence obtained unreasonably by the state cannot be used in a criminal trial against the seizure-victim; and evidence obtained and used by the state pursuant to a search warrant issued by a judicial officer who is allowed payment if he issues the warrant but not allowed payment if he does not issue the warrant is the unreasonable attainment and use of evidence in constitutional terms.

I respectfully dissent.

text:
Hypothetically, an individual has been nominated by the President to fill an open position on the US Supreme Court.

The Senate has held committee hearings, the entire Senate has advised and consented, and the new Justice has been sworn in and started work.

Then, it becomes absolutely certain that the new Justice has acted in the past in a reprehensible (possibly criminal) fashion, and has lied about his behaviour to Congress.

is there anything that any part of the government (President, Congress, or balance of Supreme Court) can do to remove the new Justice?

SCOTUS Justice Samuel Chase was impeached though not convicted by the Senate. Here is a list of federal judges investigated for impeachment, and a list of federal officials impeached. The first federal judge to be removed from office was John Pickering, and the most recent is Thomas Porteous. Only Congress has the power to impeach: SCOTUS cannot review an impeachment, and the presidential pardon power does not extend to impeachments.

Article 3, Section 1 of the Constitution states that "... The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour..."; Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5 says "The House of Representatives ...shall have the sole Power of Impeachment", and Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 6 says "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments". The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Article 2, Section 4 says "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".

Taken together, one might think that a civil officer can only be removed for criminal conduct while in office. This is by no means guaranteed, since it does not say that explicitly, and it is up to the Senate to determine whether, for example, lying during a confirmation hearing about previous conduct would satisfy the requirements of Article 2, Section 4. In order for them to make that determination, the House would have had to also previously decided that the alleged situation does constitute the conditions in that clause, since an official has to be both impeached and convicted, involving both houses. The conviction furthermore requires a 2/3 majority of the Senate ("no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present").

  • I think it’s best to clarify that it is up to the House to decide what constitutes high crimes and misdemeanors, but 2/3rds of the Senate needs to agree. – Viktor Sep 22 '18 at 20:24
  • @Viktor So, the House doesn't decide what constitutes high crimes and misdemeanors? – DJohnM Sep 23 '18 at 4:32
  • @DJohnM no it does through impeachment – Viktor Sep 23 '18 at 4:33
  • And, according to your first comment, the Senate has veto power? Like, "Don't bother, House, we'll never convict on that crime?" – DJohnM Sep 23 '18 at 4:38
  • @DJohnM - By analogy, the House acts as a prosecutor or grand jury - deciding to bring charges. It happens to require a 2/3 vote of the members to agree to do so, but the parallel still holds. The Senate then holds a trial on those charges. – Bobson Sep 23 '18 at 21:36

Choosing a termite professional

When it comes to choosing a termite professional, you should first consider this…Termites cause $5 billion in damage annually to homes in the U.S., but homeowners insurance rarely covers termite damage. Termite damage is considered preventable through home maintenance. In the simplest of terms, if you could have prevented it, you should have.

Careful selection = good results

Before choosing a termite professional you should do a little research. While the state regulates and requires that termite technicians be licensed, some companies do the minimum required to satisfy those regulations.

At Lawn and Pest Solutions, we constantly train our techs. Weekly meetings and occasional class settings provide our techs with the most up to date information and training available. This additional training is something we choose to do in order to provide the safest and most effective termite protection to our customers.

In addition to training our technicians, our licensing requires ongoing training for management. Being a select provider of the Sentricon System requires even more training and in-depth knowledge of termites.

Get references.

It’s not that hard these days to find a Google review on just about any service imaginable. You are just a few clicks away from being able to know what the general consensus is on any service provider. Read those reviews! People are more than open and honest about how they REALLY feel when writing online reviews. Just type in “choosing a termite professional” and see what you find!

Read the fine print.

Before you sign a contract, make sure you fully understand the details and pricing. Don’t be afraid to ask your technician lots of questions. Remember that your home is at stake here and you want the best protection.

At Lawn and Pest Solutions, a termite contract includes:

  • An interior and exterior inspection of your home.
  • A full treatment as defined by state regulations.  This can be a liquid application that is trenched and injected into the soil around your foundation, or a bait station application around the perimeter of your home.
  • Issuance of a termite contract that states what type of application is performed, the products used, a diagram of the structure treated and the cost for the initial treatment and ongoing annual inspections.
  • Annual inspections must include both an interior and exterior inspection of your home.  If your current provider comes by and hangs an invoice once a year, you have not received a proper inspection.

Prevention is the best medicine.

When choosing a termite professional, we make it pretty easy. Avoid the costs and headaches of repairing your home with a Termite 360 program from Lawn & Pest Solutions. Contact our office any time of day or night and let us schedule a visit to your home or business. Lawn and Pest Solutions serves the North Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee areas.

Rainy Days Here and There

If it wasn’t for a friend sending me an email with some nice words about my blog, I would have totally forgotten to keep my promise about posting this video today, Rainy Days and Mondays.

Where I am there is no rain today, but in the last 24 hours or so the fresh snow is now pressed half up my picture window. I live in a first floor apartment, a building where the ground floor units are a few feet below ground level, so the bottom of my picture window is about a foot off the ground.

There’s not much for me to say here – actually I could say a lot, but sometimes it just seems too many words can be distracting.

So to keep those words to a minimum, I hope you enjoy this music, especially this performance by Sharon Clark – the passion and courage and love in it all – her genuine emotion so very inspiring.

It’s nice, isn’t it? How sometimes the blues can just feel so good.

Enjoy your week, and if you feel like adding a similar video link, please feel free to do so.

    What a beautiful version of that song- I spent some time listening to other tunes by her. Thanks for that post!

  2. Lawrence Grodecki Post author

    Thanks to both of you for adding such nice comments. Yes, now that you mention it, there certainly is something of Billie in her. Funny how it goes though, when I posted this there was a gentle snow that lasted all day. You could only really think of it as a storm if you were driving in it. Walking in it is quite uplifting. Today is another uplifting day, and the little girl next door is all dressed in her snow suit, playing outside by herself, looking for much like a pink penguin!

    It doesn’t get much sweeter than that . . .

NASCAR Whelen Euro Series

Virtual EuroNASCAR championship has impact on team classification

The NWES reacts to the coronavirus crisis and launches a virtual championship for the EuroNASCAR teams – The points have an impact on the real team championship

Never before has a large series included results from the virtual world in the real world, but the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series (NWES) wants to pioneer this with the newly created virtual EuroNASCAR Esports Series. The championship for NWES teams will have a direct impact on the team classification of the 2020 season – how exactly, is still open.

The first event is planned for April 21, where the virtual road course at the Daytona International Speedway will be used for the race. But the first race is only a show race to celebrate the step into SimRacing. The official start of the season will take place on 28th of April at the Indy circuit at Brands Hatch. There will be a total of eight events – weekly on Tuesdays starting at 8pm. The last three races will serve as the playoffs, in which double points will be awarded just like in the real NWES.

The championship is created for the drivers and teams of the NWES, whereby there will be wildcard places for SimRacers and prominent guests. Also on the agenda are the races at the tracks in Brands Hatch and Zolder, two tracks that are also visited by the NWES in reality. The iRacing platform will serve as the simulation, which is already used in the US NASCAR series for the SimRacing championship.

Besides the European tracks, American circuits have already been confirmed. Waktins Glen, the road course in Indianapolis and the Roval in Charlotte will be part of the schedule. The other circuits and the exact order of the event will be announced later. The virtual NASCAR Cup cars will be used for the races. The races will be streamed on the official channels of the NWES.

Dealing with difficult people: Lessons from the back room at the OJ Simpson Trial

Dealing with difficult people: Lessons from the back room at the OJ Simpson Trial

Mark Goulston<Play podcast>

While LA detective Mark Fuhrman was pleading the Fifth in the OJ Simpson trial, Dr. Mark Goulston was sequestered in the back room, waiting to get grilled by “Dream Team” attorney F. Lee Bailey. Dr. Goulston had been a consultant for the prosecution and Bailey was concerned the doctor had unfairly prepared Fuhrman to withstand Bailey’s famously effective cross-examination techniques. (He hadn’t, by the way).

Bailey came at him hard in the back room, intent on breaking a confession out of him. But Goulston had been studying Bailey’s methods and was prepared for him. In a brilliant set of moves that seem nothing short of a Jedi mind trick, Dr. Goulston fought back in a disarmingly calm fashion that completely threw Bailey off his game, and sent him out of the room frustrated and empty handed.

In today’s podcast, I interview Dr. Goulston about that day in Los Angeles two decades ago. He shares his insights from that encounter and a handful of highly effective (and sometimes hilarious) tactics that he used successfully that day.

Just ListenIf you ever find yourself working with difficult people (and who doesn’t), you’re sure to get something out of our discussion.

What are cryptocurrency on-ramps?

A cryptocurrency on-ramp refers to an exchange or similar service where you can offer fiat money in return for cryptocurrency.

For anyone to become involved in cryptocurrency, their first step will often be to simply buy some. This will require the trade of fiat money for digital assets, and any service that provides this is known as an “on-ramp” into cryptocurrency. On-ramps are a way for new users and new money to enter into this space, but not all of them act in the same way. For example, one of the most common places for new users to get their first coin is an exchange. Not all exchanges allow direct fiat purchases, but many of the bigger names will, and more are integrating this feature all the time. In addition to regular exchanges, there are also over-the-counter, or OTC, markets. This is where users trade with each other directly at agreed-upon prices that may not match the exchange rate exactly. There are multiple platforms that can offer this, but the OTC realm is more for large purchases or sales and is more commonly used by institutional buyers. Both exchanges and OTC services often have APIs that can be integrated into other applications, which can then make trading across multiple markets easier for advanced users. One last common on-ramp is cryptocurrency ATMs, where users can literally deposit cash and receive digital assets in return. Of course, these aren’t available in all cities yet, and there are usually limited assets being offered, so going this route may or may not be a hassle.

Americans’ Sense of Well-Being Falls to Great Recession Levels, Gallup Finds

It’s déjà vu all over again for Americans’ well-being: we haven’t felt this low since the advent of the Great Recession that hit our well-well-being hard in December 2008. As COVID-19 diagnoses reached 200,000 in the U.S. in April 2020, Gallup gauged that barely 1 in 2 people felt they were thriving. In the past 12… Read More »
