Blackwood Hall, 1816

It was an unspoken truth that when a woman reached her twenty-second year without a single gentleman even pondering the possibility of marriage to her, she was destined for spinsterhood. Spinsterhood, in turn, es- sentially sentenced her to the tedium of acting as com- panion to doddering dowagers as they dawdled about the countryside.

A woman without prospects in her twenty-second year was viewed suspiciously by the haut ton. There must be something quite off about her. It was impossi- ble to think otherwise, for why would a woman, prop- erly presented at court and to society, with means of dowry, with acceptably acknowledged connections, have failed to attract a suitor? There were only three possible explanations.

She was unforgivably plain. She was horribly diseased.

Or, her older sisters’ scandalous antics four years past had ruined her. Utterly, completely, ruined her.

The third hypothesis was presented by Miss Pru- dence Cabot days after her twenty-second birthday. Her hypothesis was roundly rejected by her scandalous older sisters, Mrs. Honor Easton and Grace, Lady Merryton.

In fact, when her older sisters were not rolling their eyes or refusing to engage at all, they argued quite vocifer- ously against her theory, their duet of voices rising up so sharply that Mercy, the youngest of the four Cabot sisters, whistled at them as if they were the rowdy pup- pies that fought over Lord Merryton’s boot.

Her sisters’ protests to the contrary notwithstand- ing, Prudence was convinced she was right. Since her stepfather had died four years ago, her sisters had en- gaged in wretched behavior. Honor had publicly pro- posed marriage to a known rake and bastard son of a duke in a gaming hell. While Prudence adored George, it did not alter the scandal that had followed or the taint it had put on the Cabots.

Not to be outdone, Grace had endeavored to entrap a rich man into marriage in order to save them all from ruin, and somehow managed to trap the wrong man. It was the talk in London for months, and while Grace’s husband, Lord Merryton, was not as aloof as Prudence had always heard, his entry into the family had not im- proved Prudence’s prospects in the least.

Nor did it help in any way that her younger sister, Mercy, had a countenance so feisty and irreverent that serious thought had been given to packing her off to a young ladies’ school to tame the beast in her.

That left Prudence in the middle, sandwiched tightly between scandals and improper behavior. She was squarely in the tedious, underappreciated, put-upon, practically invisible middle where she’d lived all her life. This, Prudence told herself, was what good manners had gotten her. She had endeavored to be the practical one in an impractical gaggle of sisters.

by New York Times bestselling authorJulia London

The dust of the Cabot sisters' shocking plans to rescue their family from certain ruin may have settled, but Prudence Cabot is left standing in the rubble of scandal. Now regarded as an unsuitable bride, she's tainted among the ton. Yet this unwilling wallflower is ripe for her own adventure. And when an irresistibly sexy American stranger on a desperate mission enlists her help, she simply can't deny the temptation.
The fate of Roan Matheson's family depends on how quickly he can find his runaway sister and persuade her to return to her betrothed. Scouring the rustic English countryside with the sensually wicked Prudence at his side—and in his bed—he's out of his element. But once Roan has a taste of the sizzling passion that can lead to forever, he must choose between his heart's obligations and its forbidden desires.

Whether the Weather in Vanuatu

2nd May 2014

If you're considering a holiday to Vanuatu, then now is the time! Although Vanuatu is beautiful to visit year round, now is the perfect time to enjoy the mild temperatures and lower rainfall of Vanuatu weather. Famous for its stunning sub-tropical climate, Vanuatu enjoys an almost endless amount of sunshine with mild temperatures and clear blue skies being almost a permanent fixture on the island. In fact, there are actually only a few months out of the whole entire year when the climate is characterised by cooler, drier conditions.

Summer in Vanuatu occurs from November to March and temperatures generally reach an average of about 28°C. Although the months during summer are most often hot and humid, the sea breezes do a fantastic job of keeping the island fairly well cooled. Winter, if you could call it that, ranges from April to September, however temperatures are still a rather pleasant average of 23°C. There's also little variation in water temperature, meaning you can still enjoy a swim in the crystal clear waters no matter when you're visiting.

December to April are the warmer and more humid months in Vanuatu, with the island receiving most of its rainfall. Known as the wet season, the weather is hot and humid and the island experiences its highest rainfall each month. In the northern islands, rainfall averages anywhere from 2 to 4 m annually. This is also the perfect conditions for the tropical cyclone season, which sees storms forming over parts of the island. The good news for you is that the majority of the resorts are situated in the south, where there is less rainfall, lower humidity and therefore a much lower chance of extreme climate conditions or extreme weather.

So what are you waiting for? Head to Vanuatu where the weather is fine!

KY: CA-Based Rack-It Truck Racks to Locate in Albany, Create 25 Jobs

18 Sep, 2018

Gov. Matt Bevin announced Rack-It Truck Racks Inc., a utility truck rack manufacturer with operations in California, will invest more than $1.35 million and create 25 full-time jobs to establish a location in Clinton County.

“We are pleased to welcome Rack-It Truck Racks to the commonwealth, as the company looks to better serve its customers in the Eastern US,” Gov. Bevin said. “Kentucky’s prime geographic location offers unmatched logistical advantages, and our skilled workforce and business-friendly environment provide the essential resources to support future growth. We are confident that Rack-It Truck Racks’ investment in Clinton County is the start of an enduring relationship that will benefit both the company and the south central Kentucky region.”

Rack-It leaders plan to purchase, upgrade and build out from an existing 37,000-square-foot facility on Fairgrounds Road in Albany. The project includes installing a square tube production line to manufacture heavy duty truck racks. Additional product lines could be added in the future.

Company leaders noted the location’s proximity to major markets in Louisville, Nashville and Knoxville, as well as the people they met in the Clinton County community as deciding factors. A downturn in the region’s houseboat industry left an available workforce with welding and manufacturing skills, a particular draw for Rack-It. The company also will create opportunities for powder coating, delivery and administrative jobs. Construction could begin this month with the facility fully operational by January 2019.

“Rack-It Truck Racks is very excited about the opportunity to expand our business into Kentucky and specifically the community of Albany,” said Van Thompson, president of Rack-It. “We have been warmly welcomed by the fine people of Albany and look forward to establishing and growing a long-lasting business presence in the region.”

Rack-It, founded in 1982 in California, manufactures heavy-duty material racks for pickups, service bodies and flatbed trucks. The company currently operates one manufacturing facility outside Sacramento, Calif. The move to Kentucky will allow Rack-It to better service its Eastern US customers, such as Auto Truck Group in Louisville, The Knapheide Manufacturing Co. in Quincy, Ill., Reading Truck Body in Reading, Penn., and Monroe Truck Equipment in Monroe, Wisc., among others.

Sen. Max Wise, of Campbellsville, showed appreciation for the company’s job creation in the region.

“I want to welcome Rack-It Truck Racks to Clinton County and show my appreciation for the company’s decision to locate in Kentucky to better serve its customer base,” Sen. Wise said. “The local workforce is ready to prove Rack-It made the right decision. I wish the company well and hope to see it grow in the years ahead.”

Rep. Jeff Hoover, of Albany, described the company as a great fit for the community.

“Rack-It Truck Racks will be a welcomed addition to Albany,” Rep. Jeff Hoover said. “I’m very thankful that the company has decided to locate in Clinton County and that it will provide numerous jobs for its residents.”

Charlette Koger, executive director of the Clinton County Industrial Development Authority, said the job creation will be a welcome addition.

“We are so excited to have them in our county and will assist in any way we can,” Koger said. “This will be a great boost to our local economy with the jobs that will be created.”

To encourage the investment and job growth in the community, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) in August preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to $250,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the agreement term through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets.

In addition, Rack-It can receive resources from the Kentucky Skills Network. Through the Kentucky Skills Network, companies can receive no-cost recruitment and job placement services, reduced-cost customized training and job training incentives. In fiscal 2017, the Kentucky Skills Network provided training for more than 120,000 Kentuckians and 5,700 companies from a variety of industry sectors.

Information on Kentucky’s economic development efforts and programs is available at Fans of the Cabinet for Economic Development can also join the discussion on Facebook at or follow on Twitter at Watch the Cabinet’s “This is My Kentucky” video on YouTube.

The Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development is the primary state agency responsible for encouraging new jobs and investment in the state.

The program at 121 Women and Computers is aimed specifically at those women who speak English as a second language, such as immigrants and asylum seekers, but the program has also included single mothers and others disadvantaged individuals.

The learning process offers personal tutorials, individual learning plans, feedback, and one-to-one advice on the next career step. Because everyone learns differently, 121 Women and Computers does its best to tailor the program and support system to what suits each woman.

GP File 2 Greenpeace Radicals Indoctrinate Schoolkids With "Climate Change" Propaganda

Greenpeace in conjunction with Oxfam and Forest&Bird is brainwashing schoolkids in “Climate Change” propaganda.

For the last month, a bio-fuel powered bus has been touring New Zealand high schools indoctrinating teenagers in Greenpeace’s scaremongering “global warming” agenda.

Worse, Greenpeace’s Be the Change project is staffed by radical extremists with ties to some of this countries most militant activists, including the Save Happy Valley Coalition and the “Urewera 17”.

Of the three known bus borne activists;

Kristin Gillies has been a leading member of the anarchist lead Save Happy Valley Coalition and has allegedly attended at least one “quasi military” training camp in the Ureweras.

Jo McVeagh was a founder member of the SHVC in 2004 and has since worked closely with socialist and anarchist organisations.

Tia Taurere has close ties to several of those arrested in the October 15 “Urewera 17” anti terror raids and has since been an active campaigner for their cause.

These three activists are being paid by Greenpeace to indoctrinate teenagers from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

How many parents would allow their children to hear Greenpeace’s dodgy propaganda, if they knew the pedigrees of those promoting it?

  1. I think there are too many scientists who adhere to the AGW hypothesis for it to be part of a plot, however the fact(?) of AGW suggests a different model of the world in which there are limits. This is new territory and various ideas (including some radical ones) are competing or evolving to fill the vacuum.

  2. When I was at Primary and Intermediate school some Greenpeace anti-whaling people came to hold workshops for us. Never did me any harm 😉 In fact I would probably class them as some of my favourite most memorable days at school.

  3. What a complete load of bile! What’s happened to you that made you so vindictive Trev? Did someone brainwash and indoctrinate you?

  4. Thanks for this posting. This kind of anit-capitalist, anti-west, message is being heard here in Canadian schools as well. My nieces have to listen to their teachers pushing political global warming nonsense at them all the time. Thankfully they aren’t easily fooled.

Trinity House appoints new Director of Navigational Requirements

Following the retirement of Captain Roger Barker, Trinity House welcomes Commander Nigel Hare as his replacement

Trinity House has appointed a new Director of Navigational Requirements following the retirement of Captain Roger Barker MNM FNI on 13 September 2020.

Roger joined Trinity House in July 2005 as Navigation (Examiner) Manager after a career in commercial shipping, a subject that he remains passionate about. He was promoted to Director of Navigational Requirements (DNR) in May 2009 and was sworn in as an Elder Brother of Trinity House at the same time.

As DNR he took on a wide range of duties and responsibilities in the service of the mariner. While governing Trinity House through both the Lighthouse Board and the Corporate Board, he also sat on the Executive Committee and the Examiners’ Committee; any major decision made by Trinity House in the last decade will have benefitted from Roger’s enthusiastic and sage input.

Roger is also a keen advocate and adopter of technology, and this was readily apparent in his assessment of potential hazards to navigation such as shipwrecks and other new dangers at sea, liaising with Trinity House’s Planning Centre at all hours and consulting hydrographic surveys and charts overlaid with marine traffic analysis on his ever-present tablet.

Among other things, he also played a major part at IALA, being a leading voice on the Aids to Navigation Requirements and Management Committee, as well as being a frequent liaison with various maritime partners such as the UKHO and the MCA; he was also a Board member for the Trinity House Maritime Charity and Seafarers UK, these latter roles reflecting a lifelong passion for the wellbeing and education of mariners.

Roger will continue to be an important part of Trinity House despite retiring from his role as DNR. He will become the Nether Warden and will retain the role of Director of Deep Sea Pilotage for the next two years.

In November 2016, Roger was awarded the Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service for services to the Merchant Navy; the medal was presented by HRH The Princess Royal at a ceremony in Trinity House.

Trinity House’s Deputy Master Captain Ian McNaught thanked Roger for his service:

“Roger has always been diligent and enthusiastic in his role as Director of Navigational Requirements, but he has also been a great ambassador for us within the wider maritime community, for example at IALA, the MCA, the Chamber of Shipping and the UK Hydrographic Office; his contribution will be much missed by us all.

“Perhaps more importantly, Roger is unfailingly supportive and affable. He takes a great deal of pride in getting to know everyone personally and making time for them wherever possible. I know I speak for a great many people when I say we are glad that he will continue to be a regular presence at Trinity House.”

Commander Nigel Hare RN joined Trinity House as the new DNR on 24 August.

Nigel joins Trinity House following a career in the Royal Navy that lasted over 30 years; his final two roles in the Royal Navy were as the Fleet Navigation and Seamanship Officer and then Queen's Harbourmaster in Portsmouth.

Having left in 2014, Nigel became Head of Maritime Professional Development at Warsash Maritime Academy before joining the Officers' Association, a tri-service military charity, where he has been the Grants and Welfare Director and Operations Director.

Nigel commented on his new role at Trinity House:

“Roger has made a very substantial contribution to the safety of mariners in our waters and as such he has played no small part in the prosperity of maritime Britain. I look forward enormously to stepping into his shoes, getting to know my new colleagues and carrying on with the important work we have to do.”

Nigel will be sworn in as an Elder Brother later in the year.

Trinity House is a charity dedicated to safeguarding shipping and seafarers, providing education, support and welfare to the seafaring community with a statutory duty as a General Lighthouse Authority to deliver a reliable, efficient and cost-effective aids to navigation service for the benefit and safety of all mariners.

Didn't find your Dream Travel Package?
Let Our Italy Experts Tailor your Ideal Vacation

Menu Close Menu

Riviera del Brenta History

The story of how the villas along the Brenta River came to be built dates back to the 8th Century.  At that time, Venice was known as “Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia”, or the Most Serene Republic of Venice. It consisted of groupings of communities along the Lagoon. While they were able to cohabitate peacefully, the inevitable invasion of the Lombards, Huns and the Western Roman Empire, created the need to band together and elect a leader.

So separatist was the Venetian population that by the 14th Century, the Great Council of Venice deemed it illegal for its citizens to own property on the Mainland. It was then that there began a migration of Venetian Noblemen up the Brenta River and daily commerce took hold.

Many country villas were built, peaking in the 17th and 18th Centuries. Although they were considered to be country homes, the villas took on many facets of society. Some were country gentlemen farms, some served as retreats for artists, and some were quite grand to accommodate great banquets. Residences were showcases for the great architects of the times, including Palladio, Scamozzi, and Frigimelica, embellished with frescoes by great painters.

Walmart stops selling ‘All Lives Matter’ merchandise online following backlash

Walmart will no longer sell “All Lives Matter” merchandise on its website.

The nation’s largest retailer is removing the items sold by third-party sellers after hearing concerns from some employees and customers. The backlash erupted on social media, where people criticized the company for allegedly “mocking” the Black Lives Matter movement.

Some of the items included T-shirts that featured variations of the Black Lives Matter slogan, including “All Lives Matter,” “Blue Lives Matter,” “Irish Lives Matter,” and “Homeless Lives Matter.”

The retailer has since removed the “All Lives Matter” merchandise, but the other “Lives Matter” products are still available.

Father shoots & kills man who had gun to daughter’s head

Reported By Fox News on 2014-06-30

 An attempted home invasion turned into a murder investigation Tuesday morning…. St. Louis police say a 17 year old girl was outside of her home getting something from a car when two armed men confronted her and demanded that she return to her home. The girl’s father saw the suspects walking his daughter toward the home. That`s when police say the teen’s father, a 34 year old man, got his gun and fired several shots at the suspects, hitting both of them. The girl`s mother, also 34, got another gun and fired a round as well, not hitting either suspect. The first suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. The second suspect ran away, got into the first suspect’s car and contacted his brother to take him to the hospital.

Rigged Science

Reported By www.washingtontimes.com on 2014-06-23

“With the global warming scam unraveling before his very eyes, President Obama and his administration want action now. ‘The question is not whether we need to act,’ says Mr. Obama. ‘The overwhelming judgment of science, accumulated and measured and reviewed over decades, has put that question to rest. The question is whether we have the will to act before it’s too late.’ Too late for what? The planetary thermometer hasn’t budged in 15 years. Wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes and other ‘extreme’ weather events are at normal or below-normal levels. Pacific islands aren’t submerged. There’s so much ice the polar bears are celebrating….”

The scandal of fiddled global warming data

Reported By www.telegraph.co.uk on 2014-06-21

“The US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record. When future generations try to understand how the world got carried away around the end of the 20th century by the panic over global warming, few things will amaze them more than the part played in stoking up the scare by the fiddling of official temperature data. There was already much evidence of this seven years ago, when I was writing my history of the scare, The Real Global Warming Disaster. But now another damning example has been uncovered by Steven Goddard’s US blog Real Science, showing how shamelessly manipulated has been one of the world’s most influential climate records, the graph of US surface temperature records published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Goddard shows how, in recent years, NOAA’s US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been ‘adjusting’ its record by replacing real temperatures with data ‘fabricated’ by computer models. The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data….”

Hidden volcanoes melt Antarctic glaciers from belo

“Antarctica is a land of ice. But dive below the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and you’ll find fire as well, in the form of subglacial volcanoes.

7 Tips on Transitioning to the ‘New Normal’ #YouGotThis!

As recommended by our volunteer Clarissa Lim

As the Circuit Breaker period comes to an end, we are still expected to take precautionary measures to protect ourselves and our loved ones. If you are like me, who struggled to stay indoors during the circuit breaker period, you might still feel unsure of how to get used to the ‘new normal’.

Do not fret, we’ve created a list of things that you can do to stay healthy and keep your spirits up this trying time!

Photo by Thom Holmes on Unsplash
#1 Start a Gratitude Journal

Better sleep, more happiness, and reduced symptoms of illness are what comes from writing in a gratitude journal three times a week. The simple act of writing down the lists of things you’re grateful for is a way for you to organise your thoughts and guide you to accept your own experiences.

There’s no right way to keep a gratitude journal, but here’s how you can get started. We recommend writing down at least three things which you feel grateful for. These things can be relatively small events from, “Took a cooling bath” to a relatively huge event such as “My sister just gave birth to a baby girl”.

Focus on the good event, person, things in your life that bring joy. This allows you to see the meaning of events going on around you and motivates you to create meaning in your life. Remember to write regularly!

#2 Watch an Educational Video and Take Up a New Hobby

Keen to learn new skills in the comfort of your home? Educating yourself doesn’t have to be boring. You can watch tons of free DIY hacks and recipes that can be useful and fun to spend time. Find anything that needs fixing around your house or invest on cheap ingredients to learn and cook.

For starters, the famous Dalgona Coffee is something easy you can start with. If you’re on the internet, you probably have seen the frothy coffee craze that’s flooding on your feed. And it’s affordable to make and tastes yummy!

#3 Grow a Simple House Plant

Gardening is a popular pastime for many of us! It’s therapeutic and beneficial for your health. Growing your own plant feels as good as accomplishing a new task, which acts as an antidote to your self-esteem and confidence.

Grab a few vegetables from your kitchen, and see what you can grow! Onions, chilli seeds and ginger are simple foods you can start to grow a simple house plant.

#4 Do an Effective Workout (In a Small Space)

Getting some kind of exercise is better than none. While practising social distancing, a few of us might find trying to squeeze exercises in small spaces at home feels like a lost cause. Well, you can still keep your fitness goals on track while staying at home.

We’ve collected the best and simple bodyweight exercises (yes you don’t need equipment!) that will keep you fit and sweat buckets.

#5 Create your own ‘Happy Playlist’ for Good Vibes

Isn’t it interesting that a song can make us feel happy or calm? We’ve all made a strong connection with music. When a song is played to your liking, your brain releases a chemical called dopamine that can elevate your mood. Listening to music everyday improves our overall well-being such as:

Better sleep

– Reduces stress and anxiety

– Boost memory and alertness

Increases work productivity

A well-curated playlist can go a long way in making you stay motivated, so take your routine to the next level with your favourite songs!

Click here to check out my go-to playlist on Spotify!

#6 Support the Vulnerable Ones

Who says you can’t help out in volunteering work if you’re stuck at home? Finding ways to volunteer virtually, whether by sharing your time, skills, or resources, is a great initiative to pick up, if you have available time to spare.  Volunteering helps you utilize your skills during the extra time you have and make a difference in others’ lives. Helping people connects you with others and the community, you can make new friends and increase your social relationships!

#7 Seek Help

Remember, it’s totally normal if you’re feeling anxious and worried during this Covid-19 pandemic. Getting used to the ‘new normal’ may be difficult, but you are helping to protect yourself and others by doing so. Don’t forget to show emotional support to your friends or relatives who may be facing stress and concerns during this period. #YouGotThis!

If you know anyone battling with stress or depression, there are hotlines he/she may call:

Institute of Mental Health’s Mental Health Helpline (6389-2222)
Samaritans of Singapore (1800-221-4444)

Fired Driver's Civil Suit Against CBD Companies Set for Trial in October

Drop of CBD oilDrop of CBD oil by Waldo Swiegers/Bloomberg

[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.]

When U.S. Department of Transportation officials issued a warning last month about the risks for truck drivers who use CBD products, they could have used 30-year veteran driver Doug Horn as their poster boy.

Horn, who hurt his hip and shoulder in a February 2012 vehicle crash, six months later looked to the reputed medicinal qualities of CBD oil to mitigate his pain. But as it turned out, in a way, the pain got worse when weeks later Horn learned he had tested positive for marijuana in a random drug test and was fired from his job of 10 years as a hazmat truck driver at Enterprise Transportation Co.

Horn’s unfortunate story serves as a lesson to other truck drivers who decide to use CBD, or cannabidiol, that might be mislabeled as being free of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the substance that causes the high in marijuana.

Host Seth Clevenger went to CES 2020 to look at the road ahead for electric-powered commercial vehicles. He spoke with Scott Newhouse of Peterbilt and Chris Nordh of Ryder System. Hear a snippet, above, and get the full program by going to

The CBD product that Horn used, Dixie X CBD Dew Drops, was billed as being THC free.

It wasn’t, according to court documents, including an affidavit by a forensic toxicologist.

Horn first noticed a magazine ad in September 2012, promoting the new product as a “revolution in medicinal hemp-powered wellness.”

The ad claimed: “Using a proprietary extraction process and strain of high-CBD hemp grown in a secret, foreign location, Colorado’s Dixie X and Edibles now offer a new product called Dixie X CBD Dew Drops, which contains 0% THC and up to 500 mg of CBD.”

So in 2015, Horn filed a lawsuit against the companies that produced, distributed and sold the CBD. Ever since, he has been fighting a legal battle in a New York federal court to recover damages from lost wages and emotional trauma from the CBD producers and sellers who sent him their product in the mail, marketed by Dixie X and Edibles, which is named as one of four defendants in Horn’s lawsuit.

Horn’s attorney, Jeffrey Benjamin, of Great Neck, N.Y., said Horn does not want to comment on the case. Likewise, two attorneys representing two of the CBD companies did not return phone messages seeking comment for this story.

Horn’s misfortunes lend credence to a warning issued late last month by the U.S. Department of Transportation that mislabeling of CBD products can pose a career-ending risk for truck drivers. If a CBD product contains THC and a driver fails a drug test, the result will be immediate termination.

The DOT compliance notice reminded truck drivers and other safety-sensitive transportation workers that they are banned outright from using marijuana, and that if a CBD product contains even small traces of marijuana, they will be terminated from their jobs if they fail a drug test. A positive drug test after using CBD is not an excuse, the notice said.

Odapc Cbd Notice by Transport Topics on Scribd

A federal judge is permitting Horn to move forward with a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act civil lawsuit against Medical Marijuana Inc. and the three other companies associated with the CBD products sold nationwide. The lawsuit, which is asserting claims of deceptive business practices, fraudulent inducement, racketeering, products liability, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress, is set for trial in October.

If Horn’s attorney can convince a jury of the RICO lawsuit’s serious allegations, it could result in an award of triple damages plus attorney’s fees.

The RICO law was enacted as part of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 to primarily give the federal government a tool to go after long-running criminal organizations. However, it is sometimes used in civil lawsuits that meet the conditions contained in the law.

Benjamin said that Horn is working again as a truck driver, but he lost several years of income to recover from the firing and find another job.

“We’ve survived summary judgment on a major issue, but I’m confident the judge understands the real issues,” Benjamin told Transport Topics.

Benjamin was referring to a November decision and order by Frank Geraci Jr., U.S. District Court Chief Judge in Rochester, N.Y., who ruled against Horn’s summary judgment motion saying that the “mere presence of naturally occurring THC in a product does not render it a controlled substance so long as it is derived from an excepted part of the cannabis sativa plant.”

But Geraci did rule that Horn could proceed with his RICO claims only to the extent they are premised on “predicate acts of wire and mail fraud,” according to court documents.

“Getting a RICO case through is unique. It’s not easy,” Benjamin said. “But the case is going to go forward on RICO civil fraud. I think we’re going to get a lot of attention on that issue throughout the entire country.”

123116-spt-arizona bowl-p

Rich Rodriguez, right, will watch his son Rhett, left, start at UCLA this week. The Rose Bowl once was home to a Bruins father-son combo.

TownNews.com Content Exchange

Former Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez has found a new home, and he’s bringing his son along for the ride.

Rodriguez on Tuesday was named the associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe. Rodriguez will work for new Warhawks coach Terry Bowden.

Rhett Rodriguez will be joining his father at ULM as a graduate transfer. The quarterback, who spent the past four seasons at Arizona, will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Rich Rodriguez coached at Arizona from 2012-17. He posted a 43-35 record and led the Wildcats to five bowl appearances in six seasons. The UA went 10-4 and won the Pac-12 South championship in 2014.

Rodriguez, 57, was fired in January 2018. He was out of football that year before serving as the offensive coordinator at Ole Miss in 2019. The Rebels ranked second in the SEC in rushing that season. They changed coaches the following offseason, and Rodriguez was not retained.

Rodriguez previously worked as the offensive coordinator for Bowden’s brother, Tommy, at Tulane and Clemson, before becoming the head coach at West Virginia and Michigan.

Rhett Rodriguez, who attended Catalina Foothills High School, appeared in 11 games for the Wildcats. He completed 51 of 100 passes for 578 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions.

“Ever since I moved to Tucson, I wanted to play quarterback at the University of Arizona,” Rhett Rodriguez posted on Twitter. “I will forever be grateful for the coaches who brought me here and gave me that opportunity. I have learned a lot over the last four years, but it is time for me to move on.

“There are a lot of people who have helped me along the way. To my family, friends, teammates, professors, support staff, strength coaches and many others ... I cannot thank you enough. I also want to thank the entire Tucson community for their continued support.”

Single Serving: Mexico City Blondes – Fade

Screen Shot 2014-10-13 at 9.29.47 PM

“Fade left fade right

Fade out completely

Without all this noise

I could sing so sweetly”

Like a scene in a movie, the noise in the background fades and all that’s left is the thoughts of the protagonist; a preteen being lectured by his parents, drifting off to the playground. A mid 40’s man in his bosses office, drowning out the endless rabble with the smell of fresh cut grass on the golf course. Or perhaps a woman fed up with the endless excuses of her deadbeat boyfriend, “singing” to the feeling of her fingertips in the wind as her legs are “walking” away for good.

Regardless of whether or not those were the thoughts Mexico City Blondes‘s Allie Thompson and Greg Doscher were thinking as they composed this brilliantly simple track, my mind most certainly drifts there whenever my fingers grace the the sideways triangle of their introductory track “Fade.” It’s minimal beat, sultry melody & clear succinct vocals stick to your ears like a rich country gravy on the roof of your mouth.

Mexico City Blondes have followed up their delicious debut with the song “Colors” (also streaming below) which in my opinion is clearly them paving their way onto the scene as a band to keep your eyes on. There is talk of an album soon, but no dates that I’ve seen setting the mortar to the stone.

“Silence is the only noise

worth hearing

Between the notes so lonesome

and weary”

To maximize their effectiveness, color cases should be printed in color.Warren Adams founded Patagonia Sur in 2007 as one of the world’s first for-profit land conservation businesses. His goal was to purchase over 100,000 acres of land in southern Chile and to run a variety of sustainable businesses to generate annual returns for investors. Patagonia Sur planned to derive various streams of revenue from the land-including eco-tourism, sustainable land development, carbon credits, water rights and eco-brokerage-thereby giving a financial return to investors on top of achieving a positive environmental impact. By 2011, Warren had raised over $20 million from high net worth individuals and Patagonia Sur had over 60,000 acres in Patagonia under management. However, institutional investors seriously questioned whether Patagonia Sur could ever do more than break even on an annual basis. Further, they worried that in fact the risk of the investment went up significantly as the company spent both its capital and management time on so many different revenue streams. In addition, some investors felt that for-profit conservation was morally wrong. Warren needed to convince both individual and institutional investors that his vision would succeed in both generating returns and preserving the natural beauty of Patagonia.

Do We Need a 'Game of Thrones' After-Show?

Game of Thrones - Season 5 - Jon Snow death
"I'll be back."

Teen Wolf, The Walking Dead, The Bachelor, Orphan Black…now Game of Thrones? OK, TV, stick your Hardwicks back in your pants and simmer down with the after-shows.

On the heels of BBC America announcing the unfortunately titled Orphan Black post-show, After the Black, HBO has just announced that After the Thrones will be available on HBO Go, HBO Now and HBO On Demand the day after each Sunday night airing of Games this season. The first project from their partnership with former guru Bill Simmons, AtT will be hosted by Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan of Simmons’ new content site, The Ringer, and offer “a lively, humorous and sophisticated look” at the adventures of Tyrion and company. You know what we bet it won’t offer? Viable information about upcoming storylines or developments. Because HBO’s seal on spoilers is tighter than Emilia Clarke’s wig.

Seriously, if any of the Game actors guest on After the Thrones, there’s no way they’ll be allowed to talk about plots, filming or anything fun like that. As it is now, their interviews primarily consist of “You’ll have to watch and see” or “We think he’s dead” or “It was a merkin.” That means the immensely gifted Greenwald and Ryan—who used to host Grantland’s popular Watch the Thrones podcast before ESPN ruined everything—will be reduced to parsing out recaps (because the internet isn’t already flooded with those), fan theories (ditto) and pre-packaged content produced by HBO itself. The fact that it’s only available on the cabler’s digital platforms and not scheduled to air on the network right after the show means that it will also lose that built-in audience so many of its fellow post-shows enjoy.

Then again, maybe that is exactly what this particular after-show needs to stand out. The current crop feels like cheapo ratings bait that relies on famous viewers, a convenient time-slot and, in the case of The Talking Dead, the deafening sound of Chris Hardwick sucking up to Robert Kirkman. We know that Greenwald and Ryan are capable of thoughtful commentary and entertaining takes, so if they can engage viewers with discourse beyond “How cool was that White Walker, celebrity guest Ken Jeong?!,” provide original behind-the-Wall content and avoid coming off as a fan Tumblr come to life, After the Thrones could become a must-visit destination. Otherwise, we’ll just stick to talking to our GoT-obsessed friend Nick from the gym about why George R.R. Martin should be chained to a desk until he finishes the next book.

Do you agree? Tell us below.

Game of Thrones returns Sunday, April 24 at 9/8c on HBO.

NTIA identifies wireless spectrum that can be repurposed for broadband use

The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), has said that 95 megahertz (MHz) of prime spectrum can be repurposed for wireless broadband use.

Reallocation of this spectrum, the agencies said, would represent significant progress towards achieving President Obama’s goal to nearly double the amount of commercial spectrum available this decade.

NTIA, working with federal agencies, evaluated the potential of the 1755–1850 MHz band to accommodate commercial wireless broadband service. Over 20 federal agencies currently hold more than 3,100 individual frequency assignments in this band to perform a host of functions, including law enforcement surveillance, military tactical communications, air combat training and precision-guided munitions.

While NTIA’s analysis shows it is possible to repurpose all 95 MHz of spectrum for commercial wireless broadband, there are several challenges that need to be met before making a formal recommendation to the FCC.

In the past, the federal government has freed up spectrum for exclusive commercial use by clearing a spectrum band of federal users, who typically relocated to other bands. However, given the growing demand for spectrum by both industry and the federal agencies, it is increasingly difficult to find desirable spectrum that can be vacated by federal users as well as spectrum in which to relocate these federal users.

Due to the scarcity of spectrum, the complexity of federal operations, and the time and cost of relocating federal users, the old approach alone is no longer feasible.

In addition, NTIA’s analysis of the cost of a complete relocation raises questions as to whether the proceeds from auctioning the 1755-1850 MHz band for commercial use will exceed federal relocation costs, as required by law. Moreover, some of the federal systems in this band may require more than a decade to relocate, which could further complicate deployment of commercial services.

Subsequently, in the report released this week, the NTIA suggested hosting a series of discussions between industry and the relevant federal agencies under the auspices of the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee. The goal is to find ways to work together through sharing or other means in order to reduce the time and expense of repurposing the 1755-1850 MHz band, while maintaining essential Federal capabilities and maximizing commercial utilization.

Repurposing the 95 MHz of spectrum at 1755-1850 MHz, combined with NTIA’s prior recommendation to reallocate 115 MHz of spectrum, would bring federal agencies’ contribution to 40 percent of the President’s goal. NTIA said it is committed to finding ways to maximize the economic potential of this spectrum in a cost-effective manner, while maintaining essential Federal missions.

Q’ligent Company Launch Brings Enterprise Monitoring to Broadcast Market

MELBOURNE, Florida, April 1, 2014 — Signal monitoring in the multiplatform delivery universe has yet to fully mature, with many broadcasters applying a traditional component-based approach across an expanding media distribution ecosystem. The recent formation of Q’ligent, which will exhibit at next week’s 2014 NAB Show (Las Vegas Convention Center, April 7-10, Booth N907), addresses these limitations with unique enterprise-level monitoring and visualization solutions, helping broadcasters unveil a true picture of the media experience for consumers across every delivery platform.

Q’ligent’s early 2014 formation fills a critical industry need by aligning the key properties of an enterprise network management system with the evolving media distribution ecosystem, covering satellite, cable, terrestrial, IPTV, OTT and mobile platforms. The new company was formerly part of the Melbourne-based Tecom Group, which for 20 years has provided custom workflows and engineering services to the broadcast and telecom markets.

Q’ligent’s software-defined approach can monitor thousands of parameters across hundreds of locations. Its intelligent architecture extends beyond centralized monitoring of current performance to predictive analytics, recognizing potential issues that could affect signal integrity and the consumer experience before they happen. This capability further sets Q’ligent apart from competitive solutions, allowing customers to drill down to any signal parameter in the network and compare performance trends over time.

The elimination of various hardware-centric point solutions traditionally used to identify signal and network issues further simplifies the end-to-end monitoring and visualization chain, reducing costs, infrastructure and complexity – while accelerating response times and problem resolution. The result is an enterprise-level solution to real-time problem identification and data collection that minimizes financial losses and increases viewer satisfaction.

“We believe there is a substantial void in enterprise-level solutions for media stream and content verification across the full distribution chain to the end consumer,” said Ted Korte, COO, Q’ligent. “Our uniqueness is in the enterprise approach to collecting all pertinent information related to content delivery, from local advertising insertions and content rights violations; to network outages and general troubleshooting tasks. Collectively, our solutions emphasize media quality of service to reduce overall labor and cost of ownership for broadcasters, while ensuring a consistent consumer quality of experience wherever viewers are enjoying TV content.”

Q’ligent will demonstrate its complete range of enterprise monitoring and visualization solutions at its NAB booth, including distribution, contribution, distribution and local splicing applications.

ABOUT Q’ligent

Q’ligent architects complete monitoring and visualization solutions for broadcasters, content distributors, ad agencies, regulators and network operators. Based in Melbourne, Florida, Q’ligent’s software-defined approach provides an open, vendor-independent platform to monitor performance, integrity and compliance of multiple signals, streams and systems across enterprises of any size. Its solutions providing the same consistent quality of content and service across multiple delivery platforms, including PayTV systems, web and mobile services, and free over-the-air TV.

Movers’ Professional Tips for Safely Moving Your Kitchen

Congratulations! You are tackling that big move. Part of this move will involve relocating the items in your kitchen. This can be a difficult task with numerous risks involved. Over the years, I’ve been part of several commercial kitchen relocations and moved my own kitchen plenty of times. Thankfully, the professionals at cheap mover know a thing or two about safely moving a kitchen without stress. Check them out below!

1. Secure Those Boxes

Make sure all of the boxes you are using to move kitchen items are secure. If you are using packing tape, all of the boxes must be packed with the packing tape wrapped around the entire box along the seams. You do not want an entire set of heavy dishes to fall out of the bottom of the boxes!

2. Heavy Appliances

If you are taking your oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator, make sure you safely disconnect and prep each appliance. Tape each appliance door shut. Also, take the time to clean the vacant space left by each appliance thoroughly. Lots of slippery goop can accumulate under appliances, and you don’t want to later trip in your empty kitchen. Also, be sure to move the appliances out of the kitchen using a dolly with safety straps. Finally, never move large appliances alone! If a heavy appliance starts to tip, one person will not be able to stop it. Two people will.

3. Sharp Item Safety

Kitchens are full of sharp materials. Many of these items are knives, but they can also be slicers, appliance blades, and more. All of these items should be thoroughly wrapped in cloth before you back. This will keep the hands of people loading and unloading the boxes safely. It will also prevent the sharp items from inadvertently damaging other items being shipped. Label each box that contains sharp items.

4. Use Small Boxes

It can be tempting to dump a variety of kitchen items into a couple of large boxes. However, a safer the idea is to use lots of small boxes for your kitchen move. This will help protect any fragile items that need to be moved. The small boxes will also be easier on your back on moving day. Remember, it’s much safer to move three small boxes than one large box.

5. Kitchen Table

If you can, take apart any tables in your kitchen. Store any hardware in plastic baggies. You can then tape the baggies onto one of the table legs. Remember, it is much safer to move a kitchen table that has been disassembled. Once the table parts are loaded on the truck, use moving blankets to protect the wood and your fingers.

6. Equipment

For additional safety, consider wearing fingerless gloves and a back brace while moving the appliances and boxes from your kitchen. Also, shoes with steel toes are a must. You do not want to accidentally drop a box or a heavy appliance on your foot only protected by a sneaker or sandal.

Moving a kitchen involves lots of hard work. However, this work doesn’t need to be unsafe. Follow the tips above to cross this chore off your moving checklist successfully.

Great Moments of the 20th Century

   This is the perfect product for a sound byte nation, of which I am a happy citizen. Rhino Records, which never ceases to amaze, has put together a 3 CD collection of the 20th Centuries greatest moments complete with a 101 page read along mini book in a letter size, spiral bound in a nifty notebook with the CDs. The great thing about this is that while you may come for the sound bytes, you will stay to hear the whole speech it came from.

   Case in point, we’ve all heard the Martin Luther King byte about the mountain, but who has heard the whole speech. Hardly anybody, Discovery Channel alumni exempt. Part of the reason is that there is no place convenient to get the speech and listen to it. The same goes for Thomas Edison’s announcement of the beginning of the age of electricity, Woodrow Wilson’s speech for a living wage, broadcasts of Hanoi Hanna, or John Lennon’s speech upon receiving US citizenship. Well now all you have to do to get this and more is mosey on down to your local CD shop and get a copy of GREAT MOMENTS for yourself.

Gas Shortage

   The CDs are broken up into three blocks: 1901-1953, The New Century, The World Wars & Fragile Peace; 1953-1969, The Atomic Era, The Cold War & The ’60’s; and 1970-1999, Equal Rights, Watergate & Glasnost. While looking through the read along, which is full of Time Life quality pictures from each, and listening, I was struck by several things. First of all, a whole lot of living has been done over the last hundred years. Secondly, speech giving has become a lost art. And finally, news coverage has taken a definite downturn. While I don’t argue that sound is better than print, I must say that a set like this listened to serially, will educate the listener about the changes over the last hundred years in culture and politics better than the longest book by James Mitchner.

Oklahoma City Bombing

   The TV generation, myself included, is hard pressed to keep up with all the information that has come about in the past century and it’s only going to get harder. This collection is not only informative, but it is, at turns, heart wrenching and humorous. The announcement that America has dropped a bomb on Hiroshima is enough to take your breath away, especially since we’re living in the generation of the bomb. Before World War II there was no force that could destroy the entire world to be dealt with by the people. Likewise, the announcement of the bombing of the Oklahoma Federal Building is riveting. The most damaging terrorist attack on American soil made all the more interesting because the announcer didn’t know that it had been committed by an American. Then there is the comedy, which in its own way is sad. President Clinton’s denial of his “sexual relations” with Monica Lewinsky is a good example of this.

   While a great writer can produce images in our heads, the images are still our own to manipulate. The voices of those living inside of an event, without benefit of hindsight, are raw and real and it’s easy to become caught up in their emotions which in turn helps us understand the times better than the written word. The saying goes that if you forget history, you are doomed to repeat it. Every time Oliver Stone makes a film, history becomes a little more muddled with fiction. Here are the voices of the generations past speaking about their tragedies, triumphs and daily lives. Listen.

Angel investment is one of the keys to unlocking growth across the Midlands and Northwest – and beyond – a major event has heard.

Minerva, the angel investment network, borne out of the University of Warwick Science Park held its annual end of year event at Warwick Business School ( and heard from a range of businesses that have received investment via the network.

Alex Toft, who runs Minerva, told the gathered audience of around 100 investors how the network had expanded across the country over the past 12 months.

He revealed how the money invested by Minerva ‘angels’ had attracted further cash injections into a whole host of businesses – from snack makers through to revolutionary tools used to treat cancer.

Alex said: “We are now the UK’s largest traditional business angel network because of the fact that we have doubled the number of investment groups within Minerva.

“It started here at the University of Warwick but we are now in Birmingham, the Black Country, Chester, Nottingham, London and, in 2020, we will be launching in Liverpool.

“Since 2010, Minerva has made 140 investments into more than 90 companies totalling more than £10 million and attracting in a further £63 million to those businesses.

“In 2019, we have seen £1.4 million invested by Minerva angels and this support and the businesses it is supporting is helping to unlock growth. The aim is to deliver returns for investors and that, in turn, we will see the money reinvested into new businesses in the future which keeps the cycle going.”

As well as hearing from companies helped by Minerva, the event also gained insight from business experts who help and support potential growth companies.

Chris Lee, of Edwards Accountants, gave his top ten tips around EIS and SEIS which are forms of tax relief for those who invest in businesses.

Andrew Christie gave the lowdown on the Art of the Exit and how investors and company bosses can ensure they get the best returns for a business when its sold.

Alex added: “It was great to bring together so many fantastic businesses, all with exciting stories to tell.

“Our investors do, of course, want to make returns from the companies they have supported but there is also a sense of genuine pride in seeing the difference some of those businesses are making in healthcare, manufacturing and retail, as well as other sectors.

“We look forward to growing Minerva in 2020 and to helping our companies start to achieve their potential.”
