"Know the Risks" Press Conference at CT's Legislative Office Building

On Wednesday, January 23rd, law enforcement along with ministers from the Just Say Know advocacy group, medical and addiction services experts, Voices of Opposition, the CT Chapter of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and CT Association of Prevention Professionals united for a press conference. The press conference provided members of these groups an opportunity to present their reasons for opposing the legalization of recreational marijuana in CT. The room in Hartford’s Legislative Office Building was filled with elected officials, media and concerned citizens eager to hear testimonies from the diverse panel.

The video below shares a powerful plea from a CT high school student who’s worried about the negative impact legalizing recreational marijuana would have on her peers.

The leaders of the Just Say Know advocacy group lead by Rev. Abraham Hernandez: National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Rev. Todd Foster: former pastor Church on the Rock- New Haven, Rev. Giles Gentley: Director of New Haven Teen Challenge and Rev. Roger Wilkins: President of the New Haven Clergy Association are traveling across the state meeting with community members in urban cities and listening to their concerns. The advocacy groups opposing this legislation have important questions for elected officials fighting to legalize recreational marijuana. They are making it clear that unless and until their questions are answered satisfactorily,  legislators should refrain from legalizing marijuana for recreational reasons.
They shared this statement in an email regarding data from other states who’ve legalized marijuana,
This data needs to be ferreted out, not ignored under the pressure to pass legislation. Our legislators should have scientific, peer-reviewed evidence and the actual results of states that have legalized recreational marijuana in hand before going in the same direction.”
Here are the 12 questions opponents of legalizing recreational marijuana in CT want answers to:
1.      Has overall marijuana consumption increased in states that have legalized for recreational purposes? What are the potential health risks associated with marijuana use at different levels of use and for different age groups?
2.      It’s clear and indisputable that young people have much to lose by being introduced to pot at an early age. What will be done to protect them from the black market (which isn’t going away) and from unscrupulous marketers?
3.      What will be the impact on children as a result of the prevalence of edibles (marijuana-laced candies and other foods) in households? What will be done to protect them in terms of labeling, child-proof packaging, and education?
4.      What will be done to discourage youth from indulging once marijuana is normalized and commercialized? What have been the consequences to those who become heavy users in their teen years? Will legalization encourage or discourage their use?
5.      What restrictions would need to be placed on the marketing promotion of marijuana products to prevent further debacles like candy cigarettes, “Dr. recommended” healthy cigarettes, Joe Camel, etc.?
6.      What will be the impact on DUIs, automotive accidents, vehicular homicide, and insurance rates? Will our roads become more or less safe than they are now? What will be done to protect us on the highways and hold down insurance rates?
7.      What will be the potential costs that will offset perceived revenue gains? What is the reality and what have been the revenue trends over time in other states? Given the added costs, is it worth it?
8.      What will become of the black market? Has it gone away in other states where recreational pot has become legal? What will their response be to the legal market infringing on their former territories?
9.      What is the risk to pregnant women and their babies? How will they be warned and protected?
10.  What will be the impact in our Black and Brown urban communities? On the quality of life? On incarceration as demonstrated by other states that have gone the legalization route?
11.  Proponents of legalization deny the reality of addiction and dismiss all connections to marijuana as the starting point for many who become addicted to harder narcotics? What does recent, relevant, objective science say?
12.  What will be the impact to employers in terms of absenteeism, productivity, and workplace safety as a result of normalization and commercialization of Marijuana through legalization for recreational purposes?

Android monopoly case: Google may face record fine

LONDON: Google will be hit with a record European Union (EU) fine for using its Android smartphone system to fortify its search empire. The fine -- likely to be handed down on Tuesday or Wednesday -- is expected to eclipse the 2.1 billion pound monopoly abuse penalty Google paid last year over its internet shopping business, and escalates the war between Silicon Valley and Brussels, The Telegraph reported on Saturday.

The European Commission’s competition chief Margrethe Vestager has been investigating Google for three years over complaints the company illegally forces smartphone manufacturers to install its apps.

It gives its Android software to phone manufacturers for free, but binds them to “exclusivity agreements” that force them to install Google’s web browser and search engine if they use the Google Play app store, the report said.
Opponents claim that this constitutes abuse of Android’s 74 per cent share of the European smartphone market and harms rival search engines and browsers.

Meanwhile, Google insists the agreements allow Android to remain free to manufacturers and help them compete against Apple.

The commission has the power to fine Google up to 10 per cent of its parent company Alphabet’s annual turnover, or 9.5 billion euro (8.4 billion pound).

Although it is not expected to use the full extent of its powers, the fine is likely to be higher than the 2.4 billion euros Google was ordered to pay in June last year over claims it stuffed search results with its own shopping adverts, squeezing out price comparison services.

As well as the fine, Google is set to be ordered to break its agreements with phone manufacturers. This could mean more Android phones being sold without Google software installed, potentially boosting rival search engines and web browsers such as Microsoft’s Bing or Firefox.

The Cuckoo Restaurant, a location with over 100 years of history and family owned for over 60 years!

  • The History

    Over 100 years of history packed into this iconic Dandenong Ranges location.

  • The Entertainment

    The Bavarian Floor Show is a must see for all! Yodel, schunkel, ring the cow bells or even slap dance - always something fun!

  • The Venue

    A unique restaurant with staff in traditional costume, beautiful woodcarvings, cuckoo clocks and curiosities from yesteryear.

  • The Menu

    The Cuckoo provides a little taste of Bavaria in the Dandenong Ranges. With a new Table Service Menu being served from July 1st.

The History

A humble start, Quamby Cafe 1914.

Attracting visitors from far and wide, 1922.

Situated in the Dandenong Ranges, The Cuckoo Restaurant is today one of the world’s most renowned restaurants receiving visitors from all over the globe.

It is hard to believe that this buzzing 400 seat family restaurant started out as a modest refreshment stop for travellers. Called the Quamby and built in 1914, the café operated for 44 years and is remembered fondly for its fresh strawberries and cream sold at just 6d. per dish.

The Cuckoo Name

In 1958 the Quamby was sold to Willi and Karin Koeppen. Shortly after they moved in, Karin heard the sound of a cuckoo calling in the darkness. She woke her husband and said “We will call the café The Cuckoo”. What Karin did not realise at the time is that the word “cuckoo” can also mean a bit crazy. Although she had some reservations about this in the early days, the quirky and highly amusing Bavarian style floorshow has warmed hearts from all over the world in the unique “Cuckoo” way.

Cuckoo Restaurant in the 1960’s.

Cuckoo Restaurant circa 1970.

Introducing the Smorgasbord

In Germany, during the 1950’s, there was a surge in the popularity of the Smorgasbord Restaurant. Having been raised in Germany, co-founders Karin and Willi Koeppen, sought to bring the experience of a German Smorgasbord to their new home in Australia.

Karin and her husband Willi – who had grown up in Germany as a chef – opened the doors to The Cuckoo Restaurant in 1958 as Australia’s first ever smorgasbord.

The Cuckoo Restaurant has since then flourished under the ownership of Karin Koeppen and the hard work of her family into a sprawling restaurant able to seat up to 400 guests over 3 separate dining spaces.

Australia’s First Celebrity Chef

Willi Koeppen was a pioneer in bringing food to television well before anyone had heard of MasterChef.  At the time Executive Chef at Melbourne’s Chevron Hotel, his first foray into the media world was with radio station 3XY, where he hosted a popular German show.

In 1957, Koeppen hosted what was Australia’s first TV cooking program, The Chef Presents.  The five-minute program, expanding to a 15 minute slot by 1959 at Melbourne’s HSV7, screened every Monday night leading into the evening news bulletin.

The Venue

Bavarian Chalet in the Hills

Situated just down from the Main Street of the beautiful township of Olinda in the Dandenong Ranges, The Cuckoo Restaurant is a beautiful building styled after a traditional Bavarian Chalet. With staff dressed in dirndls and lederhosen to match the classic feeling.

The inside is decorated to match the outside, with an abundance of German furnishings to match. Dark-wood interiors, German novelties on display and available for purchase from our Souvenir Shop, this venue is truly a place out of time.

Three Dining Rooms

The Cuckoo Restaurant is able to cater for over 400 guests in three separate dining areas, all with their own band area and dance floor. On street-level we have our Bavarian Room and Eidelweiss Room, which are our main dining areas.

The Eidelweiss Room features a wall of windows with magnificent views out to our surrounding forestry whereas the Bavarian Room is highlighted by a central fireplace with a selection of Bavarian-inspired art.

The Vienna Room, situated downstairs, is specifically designed for wedding receptions and is a delightful room away from the rest of the restaurant’s guests. With beautiful vistas of the garden and forest surrounds the views are the perfect backdrop for wedding photography.

Just off from the Vienna Room is our outdoor Vienna Terrace with open gazebo. This area is available for hire and can be used for wedding ceremonies and small outdoor functions. Surrounded by garden and ornamental trees, the Terrace is private, secluded and a pretty backdrop for photos.

The Cuckoo Restaurant has an off-street parking lot on site than can host up to 200 vehicles at any time. For any of our guests that have mobility issues we do have some disabled parking at street level as well as a drop-off area to the right of our front doors with ramp access to the building.

The Entertainment

Live Music

Our weekend dining sessions are bolstered by the music of our wonderfully talented musicians. Whether it’s tickling the ivories on a piano or boosting the crowd with a tune on the accordion our musicians help to provide the lively atmosphere that The Cuckoo is so well known for.

Floor Show

Currently not available due to COVID situation. Available again soon.

The Bavarian Floor Show is a must see for all curious visitors from all over the globe. Learn to yodel.  Link arms with the best of mates and schunkel to the beat. Put your hand up to ring the cow bells and if you’re really lucky you may get a chance to slap dance! A little different every day, it’s always a highlight.

Child Friendly

The Cuckoo prides ourselves on being a family-friendly restaurant and children are very welcome. We have plenty to keep them entertained, from the entertainment where some lucky guests get to shake one of the cow bells in the interactive floor show on weekends to our Children’s activity packs if they need a little something to keep them distracted.

Learn how to meet and beat more benchmarks – and make ALCO meetings more fun

by QuantyPhi Balance Sheet Optimization Services

Better performance begins with better benchmarks.

ALCO meetings are no fun when you have poor performance numbers to report. If your credit union keeps underperforming month after month, those meetings can be downright grueling. Certainly, performance goals need to be reviewed if your credit union is consistently failing to reach its benchmarks, but chronic poor performance might mean it is time to review your benchmark-building process as well.

Tailor-made benchmarks are a must.

Your credit union is one-of-a-kind. Its needs and goals are like no other financial institution’s needs and goals and therefore, tailor-made benchmarks are necessary for success. The first step to better benchmarking is making sure your financial services partner is helping you build benchmarks that are wholly unique to your credit union. Peer performance, historical references, industry averages, and market indexes are often used to construct benchmarks and measure portfolio performance, but benchmarks are only useful if they are custom-built, timely, and future-oriented.

Benchmarks are only appropriate and effective if they meet certain criteria.

Building appropriate benchmarks also requires a thorough understanding of your balance sheet. How are loan assets performing? What do your credit union’s deposits require you to do? What ongoing measures are necessary to keep the balance sheet optimized under various rate environments given the constraints of your liabilities and your risk exposure? Once you have answered those questions, make sure your revised benchmarks meet these six criteria:

  • Unambiguous
  • Investable
  • Measurable
  • Reflective of current opinions
  • Accountable
  • Tailored to your credit union’s unique needs and goals

It is only when performance benchmarks are built to meet the above criteria, and built with your credit union’s one-of-a-kind constraints, considerations, and aspirations in mind, that the benchmarks become useful in getting you to your goals. And when you meet and exceed performance goals, ALCO meetings are a lot more fun.

To learn more about effective benchmark building, contact QuantyPhi Balance Sheet Optimization Services for Credit Unions at (414) 433-0176.

Civil Society statement on the ANC National Conference

The ANC’s 54th National Conference on Saturday is an historic opportunity to acknowledge and reverse growing poverty and inequality, disintegrating social cohesion and the devastating failure of the government’s land reform programme, which shows increasing signs of capture by politically connected elites.

Rural activists and policy analysts meeting at the Tshisimani Centre for Activist Education resolved today to demand that delegates give meaningful consideration to the urgent, far-reaching and deeply researched recommendations of the High Level Panel (HLP) headed by former president Kgalema Motlanthe.

The HLP reported to the Speakers’ Forum on 21 November and simultaneously launched a website including the report, proposals for amended legislation and video and transcripts of the public hearings at which around 10 000 South Africans gave or heard graphic and devastating accounts of the ways in which South Africa’s democracy has failed them. The report and background material are available here: .

Activists from the Alliance for Rural Democracy, Tshintsha Amakhaya, the Land Access Movement of South Africa, the Rural Women’s Movement, the Wonderkop Land Claims Committee and a number of other community based organisations assert today that proposals, including the withdrawal of potentially damaging legislation currently before Parliament, must be made binding resolutions of the ANC National Conference and implemented immediately.

The HLP underpins many of the conclusions of the ANC’s own mid-year Policy Conference in terms of the lived experience of the 17 million people whose homes are within the boundaries of apartheid’s former Bantustans. The report makes it clear that failure to act urgently could see further and probably irreversible elite capture and rural dispossession.

The activists demand that these urgent proposals of the HLP be adopted by the Conference:

  1. Develop a new national land reform framework act to define equitable access and set standards and processes for implementation and oversight of redistribution.
    The HLP says in its report: “The right to equitable access to land should be what animates the redistribution of land. Yet, to date, there has been no law that defines the meaning of equitable access to land or sets targets and reporting requirements in relation to redistribution. This has enabled elites to profit disproportionately from land reform. It has also meant that people see the restitution process, which is based on the loss of provable historical rights, as their only hope of getting land.
    “The Panel’s recommendations combine a range of high-level, but also detailed, inputs to the formulation of legislation. The recommendations include legislation to provide a framework for land reform, particularly on redistribution. The Panel also makes specific recommendations on various pieces of legislation to improve their clarity, to enhance the prospects of successful implementation and to provide mechanisms to gather information and to monitor and evaluate policy outcomes.”
  2. Withdraw the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Amendment Bill and the Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Bill, both of which have been adopted in the National Assembly and sent to the National Council of Provinces for consideration.
    The HLP notes in its report: “Current and proposed legislation on traditional leadership denies people living in areas under traditional leaders several constitutional rights, distinguishing them from those living in the rest of the country who enjoy the full benefits of post-apartheid citizenship. Such legislation also poses a threat to social cohesion by entrenching and promoting ethnic identities.”
  3. Amend the current Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act of 2003 to acknowledge that customary law is voluntary and living. Traditional communities should not be defined according to imposed tribal boundaries. The political authority of traditional institutions must be separated from the land rights of people. Traditional councils cannot take decisions that deprive people of land rights. Other kinds of decisions can only be taken after customary consultation with people and meeting all the Act’s accountability and composition requirements. Tribal levies should be prohibited, and traditional institutions should be prohibited from exercising powers that are not in statute or customary law.
  4. Amend the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) to give previously disadvantaged holders of land rights the power to grant or to withhold consent for mining, to ensure adequate compensation to communities, and to enforce accountability in the management of community benefits.
    The HLP notes in its report “…mining has led to land dispossession and loss of livelihoods, while there are no real benefits for mine-hosting communities. Hundreds of millions of rands paid over to traditional councils by mining houses have not been accounted for. The Panel makes recommendations for amendment in relation to compensation for loss of land and livelihoods (and) for the transparent sharing of benefits accruing from mining…”
  5. Amend the Interim Protection of Informal Lands Rights Act (IPILRA) to more robustly entrench the land rights of informal rights holders, and to make IPILRA permanent.
    The HLP says in its report: “Of particular concern are recent laws that have been used to dispossess vulnerable South Africans of customary land rights in former homeland areas. As the people who bore the brunt of the Land Acts and forced removals, those living in the former homelands deserve particular protection and redress. The Panel has accordingly proposed that the Interim Protection of Informal Land Rights Act (IPILRA) be urgently amended and properly enforced, and also that other laws that have been interpreted to enable land grabs, such as the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act, the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and Ingonyama Trust Act, be explicitly made subject to IPILRA and amended in other ways as well.”
  6. The Ingonyama Trust Act must be repealed or drastically amended to halt the seizure of land rights by the Ingonyama Trust Board.  The amendments proposed by the panel about restitution are nuanced and creatively deals with the expectations raised and the real need for the efficient and swift finalisation of the long outstanding land claims.  A concerted and sustained programme of redistribution and tenure reform will also assist in addressing misdirected restitution claimants.
    The HLP says in its report: “The Trust is meant to exist and function subject to existing land rights under customary law and not act in ways that undermine and abrogate such customary and other underlying land rights. However, the Trust in some instances, regards itself as the outright owner of land and therefore not subject to any duty to consult or to obtain community consent in dealing with the land.”
  7. Transform law making and policy making, so that all people in particular rural people can claim their constitutional rights and participate meaningfully in the protection, promotion and fulfilment of all the social and economic rights in our beloved bill of rights:
    Parliament can play an important role in ensuring secure access to land for millions of South Africans in ways that make a meaningful impact on their quality of life…  The elites that beneﬁt from these ongoing processes of exclusion and marginalisation include commercial farmers, traditional leaders, urban property developers, mining capital and political elites who distribute houses and mining licences.”
  8. Focus policy on the needs of families and individuals, and recognise and celebrate the agency of our rural people:
    Policy and legislation need to shift focus to seeing people as families and individuals, acknowledging how they live in practice, how they farm in practice and the shape of their families. [p448]. This message should be taken serious by all policy makers and rural people are our agency are not going to be ignored into the next 20 years.”

The activists further demand that National and Provincial legislatures facilitate the HLP in reporting back to the many communities and stakeholders who engaged in the public participation process that underpinned the HLPs findings.

The High Level Panel has proposed crucial interventions to prevent the continuing dispossession and exclusion of poor and rural people from meaningful citizenship. The ANC National Conference cannot ignore the work of this panel.

DECATUR, Ga. – Platinum has been a sterling performer for Emory FCU’s credit card program. The $100 million credit union says for its upscale Atlanta membership (19,000 of them), the platinum card has the right mix of benefits and panache. Emory, based in Decatur, Georgia, serves the Emory University community, which includes its own hospital; Crawford Long Hospital; Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta; and a number of other health care and related organizations. Among its 19,000 members are 2,700 MasterCard and Visa credit card accounts, says Demitra “Mickey” Houlis, vice president of compliance and e-commerce for the 36-year-old credit union. “We got into the credit card business offering only MasterCard in about 1988, and we have always used TNB Card Services as our processor,” says Houlis. “Our largest group is members with classic cards, but our growth is definitely in platinum.” Houlis points out that implementing the platinum card offering turned out to be an easy, smooth operation. “It went great. TNB Card Services set up our user codes, our associate and card numbers, gave us the paperwork, and we just had to get the business,” she says. “What made it work so well was that they gave us a lot of leeway in how we set up the card. I wanted an introductory rate and wanted them to track it, and it was easy to customize the program. They gave us a lot of good advice.” Emory had been carrying a sizable gold card portfolio prior to the introduction of platinum, Houlis says, and “a lot of people wanted to upgrade to platinum. We saw there was a market for it.” Emory chose not to participate in reward programs on the platinum card, Houlis says, because of the expense involved in maintaining and managing them. As she puts it, “A lot of people want rewards, but if you explain our card to a member, they see that ours is much better financially.” If that seems simple to understand, it is because that is the way Emory approaches its card portfolio and other programs. “Simplicity is one of the reasons for the successes in our program,” Houlis explains. “When you get too complicated, you lose people. We have one rate and no cash advance fees, and we don’t have any of those rules where if you miss a payment your rate changes. We like simple programs that benefit our members.” Going forward, Houlis says, Emory plans to implement a rebate program this fall. The credit union has done well without one, but thinks it can boost the performance of its card portfolio by giving members something back for their purchases. “We’re still looking at the scenario, but it will be based on purchase activity, and if cardholders meet a certain level at year-end, they will earn a rebate. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but we think people are drawn to getting something back.” In promoting its card products to members, Houlis says Emory works with TNB Card Services to offer balance transfers in the spring and fall for the classic and gold products, and also expects to roll out an upgrade program this fall to move credit-worthy classic cardholders to gold cards.

Rebagliati signs with Giant Italia

Marco Rebagliati has signed with the Giant Italia team for 2011.

Marco Rebagliati is the newest addition to the Giant Italia Team for the 2012 season. The former in-line skater has made the move from skating to road cycling to mountain biking.

"Since I was a child, I did in-line skating. I got several national and international titles in the junior and elite categories. I twice won the world championships," said Rebagliati.

In 2008, he made his debut in mountain biking, and he dominated the Giro della Provincia di Savona series. At the same time, he placed 12th in the overall ranking of Mediofondo Val di Fassa Bike. He gained important experience in 60 races in 2009 and 2010 and won events like the Tour dell'Assietta and GF di Spotorno.

"I was positively in shock when I spoke to Giant Italia Team for the first time. I'm very impressed by its organization and professionalism. The Giant Italia Team is interested in developing young cyclists. How could I refuse their proposal?" said Marco.

Rebagliati said he's been assisted along the way by Mirko Celestino. "He helped me develop my technical skills on the road and then again when I started mountain biking. Road racing and mountain bike racing are so different. When you attend road races, you have to focus on your teammates. When you mountain bike, you can decide whether and when to do your race pace and attack."

Rebagliati is still working with his new team to set his specific goals for 2012.

ON SALE: May 8th 2012

Genre: Nonfiction / Music / Genres & Styles / Blues

Select a format:

Trade Paperback
According to Eric Clapton, John Mayer, and the late Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy is the greatest blues guitarist of all time. An enormous influence on these musicians as well as Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck, he is the living embodiment of Chicago blues.

Guy's epic story stands at the absolute nexus of modern blues. He came to Chicago from rural Louisiana in the fifties—the very moment when urban blues were electrifying our culture. He was a regular session player at Chess Records. Willie Dixon was his mentor. He was a sideman in the bands of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. He and Junior Wells formed a band of their own. In the sixties, he became a recording star in his own right.

When I Left Home tells Guy's picaresque story in his own unique voice, that of a storyteller who remembers everything, including blues masters in their prime and the exploding, evolving culture of music that happened all around him.

‘Reading Rainbow’ Returns As An App

If, like me, you shed a silent Gen X tear when Reading Rainbow was forced off the air a few years ago, and if, like me, you felt bad for longtime host LeVar Burton, whose public quest to drum up funding for his (utterly worthwhile) show came to naught, you’ll be happy to learn that Rainbow is back as a brand new app that’s launching today, courtesy of Burton’s startup RRKidz.

As TechCrunch reports, the new-look Rainbow tries to bring books to life using a few methods your kids will already be familiar with (interactive menus, animation) and at least one they most likely won’t recognize (Burton himself, who hosts segments they’re calling “video field trips”). Observe:

The app is free, with a catch: Non-subscribers will only have access to a small amount of content, which can only be unlocked by joining up for a monthly fee. All of which makes sense — the only thing that gives me pause is RRKidz’s plan to charge $9.99 a month. I never watched Reading Rainbow — I was a little too old — but I definitely respect Burton’s work, and while I’m still ambivalent about apps that bend over backwards to make books more “interactive” for kids, I’d like to help him out. That price strikes me as a little steep, however.

I think maybe if Burton had rolled this out a few years ago, I’d have felt differently, but Reading Rainbow is entering a really crowded marketplace, and the price point for most apps has been set so low that $9.99 seems like a lot — especially given that a lot of parents are already paying similar fees for stuff like Netflix and Spotify. This isn’t a judgment against the content Reading Rainbow is offering, because the app seems pretty robust and well-designed; I just wonder whether they’ll be able to find enough subscribers to support their business model. I hope so — or, barring that, I hope they’ll be able to adjust their asking price enough to survive and thrive.

What do you think? Will you be purchasing a ride on the Reading Rainbow?

Candace Valenzuela Bests Kim Olson in 24th Congressional District Runoff

Voters went to the polls Tuesday in Texas' runoff elections.

Candace Valenzuela, a member of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Board of Trustees, defeated retired Air Force Col. Kim Olson Tuesday in the Democratic runoff for Texas' 24th Congressional District.

In a speech to supporters via Zoom, Valenzuela emphasized her background and how it informed her decision to run for Congress. As a young girl, Valenzuela, her younger brother and mother fled in the middle of the night from an abusive situation. She spent several nights sleeping in a kiddie pool outside a Texaco station in El Paso.

Valenzuela said her reasons for running for Congress were largely the same as the reasons she sought a seat on Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD's school board: a frustration with policymakers who have never had to struggle to make ends meet or live with the repercussions of the policies they passed.

"I'm frustrated with the representation we're seeing from politicians across the board," she said.

Olson conceded the race in a statement released on Twitter. Olson thanked her supporters and pledged to continue fighting for affordable healthcare, women's rights and "an environment that will sustain our future."

"The truth is, sometimes a pilot knows when it's time to land the jet," she said.

Valenzuela aims to be the first Afro Latina in Congress. She has endorsements from U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, as well as former San Antonio mayor and U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.

She will face former Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne in the general election in November. In 2015, Van Duyne received national attention when she spearheaded a resolution in the Irving City Council endorsing a bill in the Texas Legislature that would have banned Sharia law. The bill died in the legislature. The Dallas Morning News editorial board accused Van Duyne of using the Sharia law issue to cultivate popularity in far-right circles.

Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.

Also that year, Van Duyne was named as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by the family of Ahmed Mohamed, an Irving teenager who was arrested when he brought a homemade clock to school that teachers mistook for a bomb. After the incident, Van Duyne defended Irving ISD and the Irving Police Department's handling of it, saying school officials "have procedures to run when a possible threat or criminal act is discovered." Mohamed's family's lawsuit was eventually dismissed.

The winner will replace outgoing Rep. Kenny Marchant, who has held the seat since 2005. Marchant announced in August that he would retire when his current term expires.

The 24th Congressional District seat was one of a handful of runoff races on the ballot Tuesday. In the Democratic primary for Railroad Commissioner, Dallas trial lawyer Chrysta Castañeda defeated former Texas House member Roberto "Beto" Alonzo. She goes on to the general election, where she faces businessman James Wright, who unseated incumbent commissioner Ryan Sitton in the Republican primary.

In the race for the bench in Dallas County's Criminal District Court No. 3, former prosecutor Audra Ladawn Riley defeated Teresa Jan Hawthorne, who served as judge in Texas 203rd District Court. In 2017, Hawthorne was reprimanded by the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct after she intervened in her nephew's criminal case and scolded jurors in a separate case when they sentenced a man to 99 years in prison for rape.

Business Description
A stone built Cornish farmhouse (circa 1850) with six holiday lets set in three acres of grounds on the South coast of Cornwall providing a total of roughly 10,000 sq ft of accommodation.

The current owners have had the property for seventeen years and want to release some capital so as to enjoy their retirement.

They originally ran the property as a 24 bedroom Hotel with 40 cover restaurant and bar, but have gradually converted to the current six holiday let configuration as they looked for an easier life. The building conversions utilised existing outbuildings, but also include a purpose built bungalow and a dormer bungalow. The restaurant and bar licences still exist, but are not being used. The premises had a wedding licence which has been allowed to lapse but could easily be renewed.

New owners might continue to run Wringford as an accommodation business, or it would make a wonderful home for an extended family. There is also the option to develop it for residential use. Discussions have been had with planning regarding the possibility of converting the site into a small hamlet – the existing buildings lend themselves to being split into 6/7 three bedroom houses. The idea was well received, but the current owners have decided that they don’t want to take on a large project at this stage in their lives.

On one of the photographs attached the buildings are numbered as follows:

1. The main farmhouse, which the owners live in has three stories and provides three en-suite bedrooms, an office, sitting room, catering kitchen and a large storeroom. There are doorways connecting building 1 to building 2 on all three floors.

2. This building is known as Wringford Manor and is also three stories. It has five en-suite bedrooms and a large lounge/kitchen/dining room. It is set up in such a way that it can be used either as a five bedroom cottage or as five B&B rooms. The ground floor used to be the restaurant and is currently used by the owners as a further lounge/dining room. It would be a simple matter to start running the restaurant and bar again.

3. Part of this building is used as a one bedroom cottage called Forder, part is reception area/bar/games room, and part is used by the owners providing another en-suite bedroom and a sewing room.

4. A pre-fabricated chalet known as Maker Lodge which has three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen/dining room and a lounge.

5. A dormer bungalow known as Wringford Cottage which has three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a lounge/kitchen/dining room.

6. An agricultural shed (24ftX75ft) which has in the past been used as a play barn and a nursery school but is currently used as storage. It has planning permission for the uses mentioned and permission would very likely be granted to build another holiday let or two should someone want to.

7/8. Two semi-detached bungalows currently split 25/75 to provide a one bedroom holiday let called Freathy and a five bedroom holiday let called Sharrow.

9. A wooden building containing the heated swimming pool (30ftX15ft).

In the grounds there is an old tennis court which these days is used as a kick about area, a summer house which contains a table tennis table, a duck pond fed by a natural spring and about an acre is given over to a paddock for the two Shetland ponies that live here. It is likely that permission would be granted for log cabins on the tennis court and/or paddock should someone wish to expand the business.

It is an Inn with a busy restaurant and bar which attracts locals and tourists staying in the area as well as a number of passing trade and returning guests .With a turnover of £296,651 year ending 2019 this could be increased by updating the adjoining outbuilding and barn.
This is a substantial Victorian building, being used as a Drover's Inn for hundreds of years with an outstanding location with stunning views, with over 3 acres of land including 200m fishing rights for trout on the river ardle within their grounds.

Summary. Bruce & Co are delighted to bring to market this 18th century Inn set within the Perthshire Highlands, we do expect a high level of interest and we suggest an early viewing is a must as to not be disappointed. Will need some investment to standardise the house.

Many people are quick to try to become the next big thing and burn all kinds of bridges on their way to who they see as bigger and better people, but “you can’t be rude to the people around you who are trying to help you succeed…You should respect people that are respecting you, and a little respect will go a long way.”

Must Die! Interview

“Learn to say no.” –Must Die!

Like many artists, he had things to say about Arcade Fire’s recent comments at Coachella diminishing the role of DJs as artists who “don’t play instruments.” “I hate Arcade Fire…the reason those bands sound good is people like us are making them sound good. They don’t know how to do anything but play instruments.” Many people discredit dance music producers by saying they just play with a computer, but in all honesty they truly are composers, instead using a computer instead of a grand piano.

In the same way dance music producers are real musicians, female DJs (with the exception of Paris Hilton) are legitimate artists who deserve the same respect of any other DJ that is sharing their passion with us onstage. Much like many within our scene, Must Die feels that “Paris Hilton should shut the fuck up and get the fuck out,” making her the exception to his rule. In reality, Lee is a huge fan of several female artists from many genres, including Lily Allen who he would love to make music for (he’s admitting to writing some pop music) and JoJo, whose hit Too Little Too Late dropped at the end of his set at Foundation. He feels that it is crucial for female DJs to respect themselves enough to refuse to be exploited for just their looks.

Learn how to say no. I don’t see a difference between a male DJ and a female DJ. It’s other people who have to decide not to treat them differently. Sadly it will continue to be that way forever, but I don’t treat women that way and won’t allow anyone I consort with to treat women that way.

Perhaps most important of all, Lee values every single one of his fans and wants them to be able to take care of themselves. When shifting gears in the discussion towards the subject of how the media is portraying EDM, he first and foremost wanted to make it very clear that while his is an unpopular opinion, he does not see a value in taking lots of drugs at shows. Like us, Must Die gets incredibly sad when he hears of someone overdosing and wishes people would place more value on experiencing the music and respecting the bodies that keep us dancing all night than chasing the next high.

I hate that that’s become a thing like, all these kids I went to high school with are now insanely screwed up all the time.

With the wisdom shared with us by Must Die, we are once again blown away by his candidness and willingness to express opinions that are not the same as most other DJs, but nonetheless interesting and thought-provoking. Whether it’s encouraging budding producers to stand up for themselves, or shaking his head at those who are just going to shows for the next high, he certainly left us with a lot to chew on. When all is said and done, we wish we could have had another hour with him to dig deeper into his thoughts on the industry and his experience on producing, so we’ll have to look forward to the next time our paths cross. What from our discussion resonated with you? Do you agree with what Lee had to say or do you align with a different line of thought?

• How to Install a Window

    How to Install a Window

    If it is time for you to look into residential windows replacement you may be wondering what you need to do to install a window. There are many reasons homeowners need to install new windows, such as wanting to replace old, leaky windows for greater energy efficiency or simply wanting the fresh look a residential glass update can give a home. Whatever your reason, read on to learn the basic components and steps of window installation.

    Know the relevant window components

    As with any home remodeling project, there is a new set of vocabulary to learn. Here are the main terms to know for residential windows:

    Jamb – The main vertical parts forming the sides of a window frame.

    Sill – The window sill is the surface at the bottom of a window.

    Head – The window head is the horizontal piece at the top of the window frame

    Frame – The combination of the head, jambs, and sill that forms an opening in which a window sash fits.

    Sash – A window sash is the part of the window that holds the glass and the framework around the glass to keep it in place.

    Parting bead or parting strip – A parting bead is the thin piece used to separate two adjoining sashes.

    Stop – A window stop is a narrow strip that holds a window sash in position in a window frame.

    Prep for Installation

    Now that you’ve done your homework, you are ready to start installing your new window by first taking some measurements. When you measure your window, keep these tips in mind to get the most accurate dimensions:

    • When measuring the width, measure from one jamb to the opposite jamb at the top, middle, and bottom of the frame. Use the narrowest measurement of the three.
    • Similarly, when measuring the window height, measure from the top of the sill to the bottom of the head at the left edge, middle, and right edge. Again, use the shortest measurement of the three.
    • For all measurements, measure from the inside of your house.

    Now it is time to remove the old window. Start by removing the sashes, parting bead, and stops. If they are not damaged, you can set these parts aside to be used again. To finish up, clean the window jambs and fill any holes with caulk.

    Install your new window

    Center your new sashes in the window frame making sure the mounting holes on the sides are visible. Place a layer of caulk on the window head before positioning the top sash. Use the mounting screws to affix the sash to the jambs, being careful not to screw too tightly which can damage the jambs. Now use the new sashes as designed to be sure they work smoothly and there are no gaps. If your window works as intended, add a layer of caulk inside the window to reinstall the stops.

    If you are like many homeowners, your time for DIY projects is limited and replacing windows may be a job for a professional. For expert help with residential window installation, contact the team at Dan’s Glass.

Bad data can look identical to good data. Data integrity issues are a bigger problem than many people realize, mostly because they can’t see the scale of the problem. Errors and omissions are going to end up in large, complex data sets whenever humans handle the data. Worse, those integrity issues are likely to go unnoticed, even with a careful review and reconciliation effort. Prevention is the only real cure for data integrity issues.

I am open and care for kids 50 hours a week

I spend approximately 20 hours a week doing other daycare related things (prepping, trainings, shopping, cleaning etc)

There is a lot more to operating a business than just those times in which we are caring for the kids.

I'd rather take a Wednesday or a random Monday off but instead I try to ease the issue closing causes for clients and close during days where most families are off themselves or can easily find alternate care. Those days are usually holidays or days near holidays.
