Darwin Correspondence Project

To J. D. Hooker   [10–]12 November [1862]1

Down Bromley Kent

Nov 12th.

My dear Hooker

What a long & interesting letter you have sent me, & you so hard-worked.—2

So you did write the Review in Gardeners Chrone: Once or twice I doubted whether it was Lindley;3 but when I came to a little slap at R. Brown,4 I doubted no longer. You arch-rogue!— I do not wonder you have deceived others also. Perhaps I am a conceited dog; but if so, you have much to answer for: I never received so much praise, & coming from you I value it, much more than from any other.—

I am extremely sorry to hear about Lindley, & I am glad you told me, for I was going to have written to him to ask him about any odd Potatoes in Hort. Gardens.5 I have thought of late that Gardeners’ Chronicle has been rather flat. It is wonderful for my purposes, what a lot of matter the Gardeners’ Chron. has contained during last 20 years.—6

I return by this Post Dawson’s lecture, which seems to me interesting, but with nothing new.7 I think he must be rather conceited with his “If Dr. Hooker had known this & that, he would have said so & so”.— It seems to me absurd in Dawson assuming that N. America was under sea during whole Glacial period.—8 Certainly Greenland is a most curious & difficult problem. But as for the Leguminosæ, the case, my dear fellow, is as plain as a pikestaff, as the seeds are so very quickly killed by sea water.9 Seriously it would be a curious experiment to try vitality in salt-water of the plants which ought to be in Green-land:10 I forget, however, that it would be impossible, I suppose, to get hardly any except the Caltha,11 & if ever I stumble on that plant in seed I will try it.

I wish to Heaven some one would examine the rocks near sea-level at south point of Greenland & see if they are well scored; that would tell something;12 but then subsidence might have brought down higher rocks to present sea-level. I am much more willing to admit your Norwego-Greenland connecting land than most other cases, from the nature of rocks in Spitzbergen & Bear Isld.—13 You have broached & thrown a lot of light on a splendid problem, which some day will be solved. It rejoices me to think that when a boy I was shown an erratic boulder in Shrewsbury & was told by a clever old gentleman, that till the world’s end no one would ever guess how it came there.—14 It makes me laugh to think of Dr. Dawson’s indignation at your sentence about “obliquity of vision”:15 by Jove he will try & pitch into you some day.—

Good Night for the present.—16

I am particularly obliged for sentence about Sikhim people in Famines, & I find nearly same in your Journal: it is a little point which interests me, & I shall quote it.17

(To return for a moment to Glacial period, you might have asked Dawson whether Ibex, Marmot &c &c were carried from mountain to mountain in Europe on floating ice; & whether musk ox got to England on iceberg; yet England has subsided, if we trust to good evidence alone of shells more during glacial period, than America is known to have done.)18

Hearty thanks about seeds; I thought it useless to send my list to seedsman first, for besides 2 or 3 I shd. think there was no chance of getting them. Add, if you can, seeds of any Stylidium (for excitable column) of easy greenhouse culture.—19 You write “say the word when you wish for Oxalis sensitiva”.20 Do you mean you could let me have some plants now? if so I shd. be delighted for I can try little experiments at odds & ends of time; but could I keep plant sensitive now in greenhouse & study? If so send them to G. Snow Nag’s Head, Boro’, by midday on any Thursday.21

Some day I will amuse myself by sending diagram with explanation on Lythrum, which you can study or burn as you like—22 Good Heaven how your friends work you with M.S. (we will say nothing about another friend on seeds, plants, facts &c &c) For Heaven sake instill a word of caution into Tyndalls ears; I saw extract that valleys of Switzerland were wholly due to Glaciers.23 He cannot have reflected on valleys in Tropical countries. The grandest valleys I ever saw were in Tahiti. Again if I understand, he supposes that Glaciers wear down whole mountain ranges, thus lower their height, decrease the temperature & decrease the glaciers themselves. Does he suppose whole of Scotland has been thus worn down? Surely he must forget oscillation of level would be more potent one way or another during such enormous lapses of time. It would be hard to believe any mountain range has been so long stationary.—

I suppose Lyell’s book will soon be out:24 I was very glad to see in News Paper that Murray sold 4000; what a sale!25

To recur to Orchids, I hear that D. of Argyle has been praising my book in Edinburgh R. which is a good joke, as you told me he could not understand it.—26

I am now working on cultivated plants & rather like my work;27 but I am horribly afraid I make the rashest remarks on value of differences; I trust to a sort of instinct, & God knows can seldom give any reason for my remarks. Lord in what a medley the origin of cultivated plants is in.— I have been reading on Strawberries & I can find hardly two Botanists agree what are the wild forms; but I pick out of horticultural books here & there queer cases of variation inheritance &c. &c.—

What a long letter I have scribbled; but you must forgive me, for it a great pleasure thus talking to you.—

Farewell | Ever yours | C. Darwin

Did you ever hear of “Condy’s Ozonised Water”? I have been trying it with, I think extraordinary advantage to comfort at least,—a tea-spoon in water 3 or 4 times. a day.— If you meet any poor dyspeptic devil like me suggest it.—28

CD initially dated the letter ‘10th’, but later deleted the date and wrote ‘12th’; the text of the letter confirms that it was written over more than one day (see n. 16, below).
In his letter to CD of 7 November 1862, Hooker admitted having written the anonymous review of Orchids that had appeared in the Gardeners’ Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette ([J. D. Hooker] 1862c), and which CD had assumed to be by the magazine’s principal editor, John Lindley.
Lindley and Robert Brown had quarrelled in the late 1820s and early 1830s, since which time Lindley had been extremely critical of Brown’s work (Mabberley 1985).
In his letter of 7 November 1862, Hooker told CD that he feared Lindley was ‘breaking up’. CD was preparing a draft of the part of Variation dealing with ‘Facts of variation of Plants’ (see ‘Journal’ (Correspondence vol. 10, Appendix II)), and had unsuccessfully sought ‘odd varieties’ of potato from Hooker, with the intention of growing a few plants of each for comparison (see letter to J. D. Hooker, 27 [October 1862], and letter from J. D. Hooker, 2 November 1862). Lindley was secretary of the Horticultural Society of London (Fletcher 1969).
Lindley was principal editor of the Gardeners’ Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette (DNB); CD’s annotated copy of the magazine from 1841 to 1871 is in the Cory Library, Cambridge Botanic Garden. In DAR 222 there is a ‘List of the numbers of special interest to Darwin and kept by him in separate parcels’, and CD’s abstracts of the journal are in DAR 75: 1–12.
Dawson 1862a. See letter from J. D. Hooker, 7 November 1862 and n. 12.
Between 1855 and 1857, CD had carried out a number of experiments in order to establish the means by which the transoceanic dispersal of plants might occur; he immersed seeds in salt water for periods of time, and then tested their ability to germinate (see Correspondence vols. 5 and 6).
CD refers to glacial striations, the occurrence of which at the southernmost part of Greenland would provide strong support for his view that there must have been ‘almost entire extinction in Greenland’ during the Pleistocene glacial period as a result of the extreme cold (see letter to J. D. Hooker, 4 November [1862]).
In his letter to CD of 7 November 1862, Hooker mentioned having considered ‘the probability of there having been a post glacial arctic Norwego-Greenlandian connection’. Unlike Hooker, CD was generally opposed to the invocation of former land-bridges to account for the present geographical distribution of plants and animals, on the grounds that there was insufficient geological evidence in most cases. See letter to J. D. Hooker, 4 November [1862] and n. 6.
The reference is to the Shrewsbury naturalist, Richard Cotton (Autobiography, p. 52).
See letter from J. D. Hooker, 7 November 1862. The reference is to John William Dawson.
See n. 1, above.
In his letter of 4 November [1862], CD asked Hooker for a reference to Australian aborigines preparing and eating poisonous plants during times of famine. Hooker’s reply of 7 November 1862 is incomplete; however, the missing portion of Hooker’s letter evidently contained information regarding starving inhabitants of a Sikkim village eating arum roots, after pounding and fermenting them to reduce their poisonous effects (see Variation 1: 307). A similar account appears in Hooker’s Himalayan journals (J. D. Hooker 1854b, p. 49).
See n. 8, above.
CD enclosed with his letter to Hooker of 3 November [1862] a list of species of which he required seed; the list has not been found. CD had recently begun to experiment on plant sensitivity and movement (see letters to J. D. Hooker, 26 September [1862], 27 [October 1862], and 3 November [1862], and letter from J. D. Hooker, 25 October 1862).
George Snow operated a carrier service between Down and London every Thursday (Freeman 1978).
The extract from Tyndall 1862 has not been identified.
Charles Lyell’s book, Antiquity of man (C. Lyell 1863a), was not published until 6 February 1863 (C. Lyell 1863b, p. [vii]).
The trade sale referred to was held on 4 November 1862 (Athenæum, 8 November 1862, p. 595).
See n. 5, above.
This disinfectant liquid was recommended to CD for bathing and drinking by George Chichester Oxenden (see letters from G. C. Oxenden, 21 June 1862 and 17 September [1862]).

So JDH did write the Gardeners’ Chronicle review [of Orchids]! CD guessed it from the little slap at R. Brown.

Dawson’s lecture has nothing new. Absurd to assume Greenland under water during whole of glacial period. Suggests absence of certain plants in Greenland due to seeds not surviving in sea-water. Suggests an experiment on vitality in sea-water of plants that might be in Greenland. Is more willing to admit a Norway–Greenland land connection than most other cases.

Urges JDH to warn Tyndall on his glacial theory of valleys in Switzerland.

Is working on cultivated plants.

Here’s another Did you know? A clinical study has found that adding one simple food to your diet has the power to restore health, reduce the risk of heart disease, and even reverse illness in heart disease patients. Yes, that one food is pomegranate! Both the fruit and delicious juice will have your heart singing.

In this study published in the journal Atherosclerosis, researchers confirmed that pomegranate extract may prevent and / or reverse the primary pathology associated with heart disease. In this case, that’s the progressive thickening of the coronary arteries, caused by the accumulation of fatty materials. (1)

In fact, the study showed that pomegranate extract effectively reduced the following:

  • The amount of plaque in the arteries
  • Levels of oxidative stress
  • A chemical messenger (chemokine) that is associated with inflammation in the arteries
  • Lipid accumulation in the heart muscle
  • Cardiac enlargement
  • ECG abnormalities

And this isn’t the first study of its kind. In 2004, Clinical Nutrition published the results of a three-year clinical trial, finding that the daily consumption of pomegranate juice reversed carotid artery stenosis by up to 29% within one year. (2)

pomegranate delicious juice

So it’s no secret that cholesterol-lowering statins have been linked to many adverse health effects. Therefore, the continued research of the amazing health benefits of pomegranate may in fact lead to this delicious juice as an alternative, natural way to unclog arteries and prevent heart disease. The natural healing effect that pomegranates provide stems from a well-rounded list of health benefits that have been proven over and over again. (3)

While the health benefits of pomegranate are many, they are perhaps less well-known than those of other fruits and vegetables. If you need a few more reasons to add the fruit to your diet, though, then check out these five health benefits.

5 Reasons to Enjoy Pomegranate Fruit or Delicious Juice

1. Pomegranates are loaded with important nutrients

In fact, one cup of the seeds contains 144 calories, 7 grams of fiber, 3 grams of protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, folate and potassium. Pomegranates also boast an impressive level of antioxidants that help to prevent cell damage from oxidation. (4)

2. Pomegranates contain two powerful plant compounds

Punicalagins are extremely powerful antioxidants found in the juice and peel of a pomegranate, while punicic acid (pomegranate seed oil) is the main fatty acid in pomegranate seeds. The two compounds are responsible for most of the health benefits of pomegranates. (5, 6)

3. Pomegranates have anti-inflammatory properties

This benefit has far-reaching implications. You see, the anti-inflammatory properties in pomegranates make them ideal for reducing inflammation in the body. And systemic inflammation may be at the root of many conditions, including heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s and obesity. So reducing inflammation is very important for these conditions. (7, 8)

4. Pomegranates help to lower blood pressure

Specifically, one study showed that people with high blood pressure had a significant reduction in their blood pressure after consuming 150 ml of this delicious juice daily for two weeks. Additionally, other studies have found similar results, citing that pomegranate juice can to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. (9, 10)

5. Pomegranates can help fight bacterial and fungal infections

Finally, the plant compounds in pomegranates also have powerful medicinal properties that can help fight harmful bacteria in the body. For example, they have been shown to be beneficial against several types of bacteria and fungal infections. (11, 12)

Faithfully Defending Louisiana
Man in a suit holding keys

Why You Want To Have Car Insurance if You Live In Louisiana

Have you ever wondered why you must have car insurance before you can drive in Louisiana or pretty much any other state?

Car insurance is necessary, of course, in the event you get into a car crash. But in Louisiana, it goes a bit beyond that.

Louisiana’s Laws On Car Insurance

When it comes to insurance claims for car crashes, Louisiana follows the “fault” system. This means that before you can recover damages for injuries or property damage you suffered in a car accident, you must prove that the other driver was “at fault.”

In addition, you need to have car insurance. Louisiana’s compulsory car insurance laws (called “No Pay, No Play”) prevent you from recovering for the first $15,000 of your bodily injury damages and for the first $25,000 of property damage if you don’t have car insurance—even if you were not at fault for the accident.

On top of that, Louisiana law imposes severe penalties for driving without insurance. For example, if you are pulled over by the police and you do not have insurance, the consequences of your first offense will be removal of your license plates, suspension of your registration, and your vehicle may be impounded. The police officer will give you a Temporary Vehicle Use Authorization sticker which allows you to operate your car for three days – just enough time for you to collect your insurance papers to present it to the Office of Motor Vehicles.

If you are caught driving without insurance a second time, the same things will happen, but this time, you will pay a higher price for your noncompliance. If you don’t submit proof of insurance within the allotted time, you will have to pay a fine, a $160.00 reinstatement fee, and vehicle storage fees before your car will be returned to you.

A third violation will result in the immediate loss of your license plates, revocation of your registration, and impoundment of your car.  Penalties for driving without insurance can range from $500-$1,000.

Keep in mind that the car insurance required by the state of Louisiana is the minimum amount of insurance required. You can, of course, purchase more insurance to give you better coverage. The minimum insurance required by statute protects the injured party and the at-fault driver from the cost of being held responsible for an accident.

Neem Oil - Ingredient Highlight

Neem Oil - Ingredient Highlight

Posted by Bre-Ana Brown on 8th Jul 2019

Azadirachta indica or the neem tree is a member of the mahogany family and is found across the Indian subcontinent - Maldives, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal, Pakistan. Neem trees also grow on some islands off the southern coast of Iran and can be found in various other countries such as Australia, Indian Ocean states and sub-sahara Africa. The fruit and seeds from the neem tree are harvested and pressed to extract neem oil.

Neem oil is a widely versatile oil. While researching and writing this article I learned something new and wanted to share it with you.  As a mother of two small toddlers who love to play outside, garden and plant things; I want to make sure their environment is safe and free of chemicals or anything else that could harm them. We also want to make sure the fruits and veggies we grow are organic and free of pesticides, but then we have the problem of pests…The pros of having an organic pesticide free garden outweigh the cons. We have yet to find an effective solution to pest control in our garden, but I think neem oil is going to be a game changer. Neem oil is considered Nontoxic and doesn't harm beneficial garden insects like honeybees, spiders, ants, worms and butterflies (as long as you don't spray them directly). It cuts down on aphids, mosquitoes, nematodes, and other critters you don’t want around your plants. It is also effective in preventing mildew, black spot and virus that can harm plants too! It doesn't leave any weird residue either. This is something we will definitely be trying out when the time comes!

As I mentioned above, organic gardeners use neem oil to keep Mosquitos at bay in their gardens… SO do we! We use neem oil in our DEET free No Bugs Mist! We love using on every member of our family to help keep those pesky bugs at bay! Neem oil also can help soothe irritation, speed up wound healing, reduce inflammation, and act as a protective barrier for your skin, which is why we have included it our Say No to Cracked Feet Foot Butter. Neem oil has uses from gardens to camping to skincare. Enjoy the outdoors free of mosquitoes (using our No Bugs Mist) and then help your feet recover from the awesome adventures you took (using our Say No to Cracked Feet Foot Butter). Wahoo! Can't wait to learn what else other plants can help us with!

Parent Advisory Committee

The DECA Middle Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is a team of parent representatives from each grade level (5th-8th) who work closely with DECA Middle’s teachers and leadership to foster authentic parent and family partnership in service of preparing DECA Middle students to be college graduates and leaders in the future.

PAC members make a one year commitment to serving as parent representatives, meeting five times a year, once each quarter and once over the summer, to develop goals, action steps, and advise DECA Middle’s leadership from a parent perspective.  Already, the PAC has played a significant role in the development of DECA Middle’s Hybrid 2.0 plan and in the creation of “The Spot” as a virtual space for student connection.

During the 2020-2021 school year, the Parent Advisory Committee has determined two goal areas of focus:

1.      Support parents and families in supporting their students during COVID-19.

2.      Improve communication between the school, teachers, students, and parents.

Are you interested in being a part of the PAC in the future?  If so, reach out to Mr. Bull to learn more about how to get involved:

Meet the Members of the PAC

Sharonda Huggins

I am the mother of Nathan - 8th grade - and Nicholas - 5th grade - and have been a DECA parent for 4 years. I love DECA's commitment to continuous improvement and how much the teachers and administration genuinely care about our children.  It is important for us to support each other as parents, teachers and administration to help ensure the success of our students.  Being a part of the PAC was another way for me to show my support and help influence change.

Christina Brown

I graduated from Wright State University and Patterson High School.  I am employed full time, but my number one job is to annoy my husband of 13 years, Tony Brown.  I have been a DECA parent since our oldest son started kindergarten in 2014.  I have two sons, Anthony Jr. in 6th grade, and Brandon in 2nd grade at their respective DECA campuses.  I am excited to serve on the PAC because DECA actually listens to what the parents/community wants and implements those changes.

Shawn Heflin

DECA Parent for 9 years.  I’m a veteran of the USMC, an entrepreneur in the fields of barbering, cosmetology, and most recently, contracting through my company TopCat Construction.  I have been a DECA parent since Marley started kindergarten at DECA PREP 9 years ago.  I am excited to be a part of the PAC to make sure that DECA maintains the quality and standards that were shown me in the beginning.  As you see with such a large family, education is important.  I was not directed toward college as a youth by my school administration.  I have felt short changed ever since.  That’s the most important reason I chose DECA.  DECA is for all students’ future and note just the select few, so here I am, and here we will stay.

Vincent & Nicole Fuqua

We have been DECA parents for 8 years and are the parents of Jordyn (senior) and Kyndal (7th grade).  We became PAC parents because we have a passion for collaboration. We view being a member of the PAC as an opportunity to share some of our successes as well as learn from others the best way to support our children(as a whole) to maximize their potential.

John Lumpkin

DECA Parent for 7 years, and father to John (6th) and Asena (4th). I joined the PAC to be an active participant in my children’s educational experience.

Dana Dennis

Parent of Devan (7th) and Sophie (3rd).  I’ve been a DECA parent for 4 years.  I’m excited to serve on the PAC because it gives me an opportunity to speak on behalf of the children and the parents of DECA.  I’m also excited because I will be able to help others navigate through any issues that may arise now or in the future.  Also, I think this group is something that is great and unprecedented for the administration, staff, parents, and students.

Tenae Hampton

Parent of Amileo Norvell Jr. 5th grade Mandela House.  I’ve been a DECA parent for 5 years now, and it was my pleasure to be asked to serve on the PAC.  I’m super excited to serve so that I can help contribute to the success of our children, and to ensure that others have a voice in making educational decisions here at DECA.

Keith Poole

Nia Poole and Nehemiah Poole have been DECA parents for 10 years. I wanted to be on the parent advisory committee to have a voice on what I see that is working or not working at DECA Middle.

Candy Curtiss

Parent of Anthony Jr. (8th).  I’ve been a DECA parent for 9 years.  One big thing for me is to keep my child motivated to finishing out the class of 2025.  I’m glad to be a part of the PAC for the insight of DECA through principals, motivated teachers, and other parents.

Michael Watts

DECA parent since 2014.  Last year I had the privilege of being a part of the program as well.  It allows the parents to engage with each other along with the school so as to bring real change and enhancement to DECA. So far it has been a great experience as a DECA parent and family. We certainly appreciate all of the efforts to educate parents, children, and staff.

adidas taps Kate, Naomi, Marc Jacobs, and more for new Pride collab

The Prouder project invited each creator to reimagine the iconic Samba through the lens of unity, equality, and originality

It’s hashtag Pride season once again, just in case you hadn’t noticed all the rainbow flags and glitter on your IG feed. To celebrate, adidas, together with DJ Fat Tony, has put together an almost unprecedented group of models, artists, musicians, and general icons – Naomi Campbell, Blondey McCoy, and Philip Treacy among them – to feature in its new ‘Prouder’ project.

Including both allies and LGBTQ+ faces, each participant was invited to reimagine the iconic adidas Samba to embody what ‘Prouder’ means to them – through the lens of unity, equality, and originality. There’s something for everyone in the final selection that includes McCoy’s Icarus-inspired feather-covered shoes, the Chapman Brothers’ half Samba, half socks-and-slides creations, and the translucent plastic version created by Kate Moss. For those feeling very, very proud, check out the offering from Marc Jacobs.

Each creator was chosen by DJ Fat Tony, the London DJ who’s been a fixture of the city’s queer scene since his hellraising days in the 80s. “I wanted to create something with adidas that really spoke to where we are today by envisaging a new notion of Pride as being one with no labels; and how we as a community alongside our allies can push things further still,” he explained.

The shoes will be posted eBay – starting from July 3, with the auctions running for 10 days – with the proceeds going to the Albert Kennedy Trust, a charity fighting homelessness in the LGBTQ+ community. In particular, it works to raise awareness around the disproportionate rates in which young queer people face choosing between living their truest lives and having a safe home.

We caught up with some of the creators, so scroll to see what they had to say about what makes them feel #Prouder, and what they feel the world needs.

“My ingredients to a perfect world would be a world with no judgement.”

“I think that empathy is the one thing this world really lacks. There is a lot of love, but that love is usually conditional. If we could just have empathy, then you can find your way to loving any and everyone, even if you disagree. What makes me feel proud is seeing those kids in Parkland, down in Florida – it gives me hope. Their generation is not gonna sit back. They will fight, they will push for progression, and they will forever tap into the potential of our species.”

“I like to see through my work how I can connect with people and injustice has always been a big source of inspiration for me. To look and see where I can draw attention to injustices and in my own, small way try and do something about them, even if it’s just about making it visible, and that is what makes me feel proud in 2018.”

“As a long-standing member of the LGBTQIA community, I feel it is important to use my voice to raise awareness, to fight for acceptance and equality, and to be and show my true self so that others might have the courage and strength to be their true selves. I wanted to be involved in the adidas ‘Prouder’ campaign because to me, its celebration of being proud of who you are, uniqueness and individuality.”

“What makes me prouder in 2018 is the strength and boldness I see in the people around me. I love the energy and fearlessness. That is what makes me proud.”

“Always be you, and surround yourself with Positivity, Love and Red Lipstick Kisses!”

“What makes me proud; is a new generation who are more tolerant towards each other and with the realisation that we can make moves better together going forward.”

Polk Launches New Solution for Identifying Vehicles Eligible for Cash for Clunkers Program

Cash for Clunkers marketing list solution will help OEMs, dealers and advertising agencies target owners of qualified vehicles

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 7, 2009 /PRNewswire/ – R. L. Polk & Co. has developed a unique, highly accurate solution for automotive manufacturers and dealers to help them identify and target consumers eligible for the recently signed Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save (CARS) program, dubbed Cash for Clunkers. The government initiative allocates $1 billion in funding to encourage consumers to replace older, less fuel-efficient vehicles with new fuel-efficient ones. The program started July 1, 2009 and runs through November 1, 2009.

Polk’s new custom solution is a predictive model created by taking into account a vehicle’s age, category, current market value and EPA combined fuel economy. It enables focused targeting of consumers most likely to qualify for the Cash for Clunkers program.

“Polk has followed the Cash for Clunkers concept since it was introduced and has created a robust resource to help our customers target qualifying households that may benefit from this government program. Ultimately, it’s about selling new vehicles,” said Lonnie Miller, director of industry analysis at Polk. “We forecast that the U.S. will see roughly 200,000 additional sales this year due to the Cash for Clunkers program.”

The information provided by this new offering will be helpful to auto manufacturers, dealers, advertising agencies and others when determining campaigns and marketing strategies targeting consumer households with vehicles that are likely to qualify for the voucher.

This solution is currently available within Polk’s Transportation List Access System (TLAS) to Polk customers allowing them to build sophisticated marketing solutions quickly with great flexibility. Additional information on this solution is available at www.polk.com/cashforclunkers/ or via phone 1-866-618-7438.

We could sit here watching you surf for hours, Clovis.

On a short break from the winter swells, we met up with Clovis Donizetti for some classic sessions at Côte des Basques in Biarritz. With his own sound and style, Clovis showed us his ability to turn any wave into a unique dance.

We have always loved surfing for the freedom that it gives you and the lifestyle that it used to and still does represent. Styles and personalities that emerge from distant places and then connect in a little community of surf enthusiasts that are brought together through their love of the most basic aspect of surfing: having fun.

You might remember from the other week that I had designed and cut some perspex brackets as an mounting for a piece of art for an exhibition. The show is now up and open as one of the independent exhibitions that are part of the Liverpool Biennial. If you were wondering how the parts I showed looked like, here’s a few images of it mounted:

In addition to the brackets, a central bridge supports the hanging parts of the artwork and the laser-cut perspex and print is held in place by gravity.

The artwork, titled “Xenia” is based upon the story of “Baucis and Philmon“, part of the Re-view Textile group‘s exhibition around the theme of Hospitality.

The exhibition is open until 12th October 2012, Monday to Saturday, 10am-4pm,

Horoscope for Feb. 13

View Comments

Zodiac signs

(March 21-April 19): The hype around Valentine's Day is something you're not entirely fine with, and yet if you don't do a bit of planning now, you're likely to regret it. It will take you less than an hour to get this together.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Who needs your attention? Who deserves it? These may be two different people, and today you'll have to choose between them. You'll do the honorable thing, as long as you take the time to consider what that is.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): It's your day to generate ideas, brainstorm and participate in other people's ideas – not to the point of making promises, but just to the point of feeling kinship.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Retain hours of your life by casting the right person for the job. What takes one experienced person but a few minutes will take a newbie days, if not weeks and months.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Days of doing nothing at all are extremely valuable, especially during a Mercury retrograde such as this. Such days are a luxury to most people. If you are lucky enough to have this luxury, you'll feel the value of it today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The current cosmic backdrop highlights the dichotomies of your personality. You are becoming kinder and gentler, though you will fight ferociously for the circumstances that allow you to be that way.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You'll meet with people. A good close is the sign of a good meeting. Recap the information that has come to light, and confirm the agreements that have been made.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Dysfunction within a group may be the norm. Each person has their strengths and weaknesses, and those do not always mesh well in a group setting. Luckily, minimizing dysfunction is a talent of yours.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make sure you know what people really want before you give your opinion. Most people who ask for feedback are actually seeking attention and praise.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Is there someone who stands to lose if your venture is successful? If so, this is best rooted out and dealt with immediately so it doesn't foul you up when you're closer to victory.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You'll be interacting in a group. It will benefit you to address certain members privately first. Ask about issues that might possibly arise and address them pre-emptively.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Complaining is useless. You'd rather spend your time finding ways to make things better. However, it might feel necessary to note problems privately to yourself so you can address them in an organized way.

Today's birthday: Your energy is high, and you'll lead your friends and family in events and activities they will never forget. There are many career opportunities to explore over the next eight weeks, but you will make a firm decision and be completely involved in one endeavor by the end of April. Promises will be exchanged in May. Pisces and Capricorn people adore you.

Penncrest leads Hi-Q teams as season heads toward close

  • Penncrest High School 2017 Hi-Q team. Pictured in front are: Lyndsey Della Vecchia, Yuanyuan Chen, Rachel Westcott, Renea Briner and Celia Lourie. In back: Jonah Lourie, Emily Tang, Analiese Bush, Dan Nolan , Andrew Esparragoza and Faculty Advisor Heather Ludwig

  • Delaware County Christian School 2017 Hi-Q team. Pictured in front are: Abigail Chung, Danielle Strafford, Hannah Master and Rachel Yeung. In back: Faculty Advisor Thom Houghton, Caleb Chung, Aj Gerow and Danny Woodruff.

Competition is intensifying as the 70th season of Delco Hi-Q moves deeper into its final half. Penncrest High School holds this season’s high score so far after earning 65 points in their second match, besting Marple Newtown’s season high by one point.

Last week, Penncrest and The Academy of Notre Dame visited Valley Forge Military Academy where Penncrest scored a lop-sided victory. Penncrest earned 17 points in the first quarter of the match, including three bonus points for answering their opponents missed questions. All three schools correctly answered art history on the first try, but only Penncrest correctly answered the toss-ups in sports, team choice and math.

Final Scores: Penncrest 65; Notre Dame 19; VFMA 12

Garnet Valley High School remains highly competitive this season, earning five more points in their second contest than in their first. They beat the Christian Academy and Penn Wood with just two missed questions and nine pick up points. It was Penn Wood’s turn to host and their marching band welcomed the other teams and the student body with a brief performance. TCA improved upon their first match score by seven points.

Final Scores: Garnet Valley 59; The Christian Academy 35; Penn Wood 4

Upper Darby hosted Cardinal O’Hara and Delaware County Christian School in a make-up due to the prior week’s snow storm. The Royals held their own against DCCS, which is enjoying a stellar season, but were not able to take the lead despite earning six bonus points. Delco Christian picked up nine bonus points and only missed three of their questions to earn four more points than their first match of the season.

Final Scores: Delaware County Christian School 56; Upper Darby 42; Cardinal O’Hara 8

This is a short week for Hi-Q. This week’s matches are Chichester at home against Radnor and Ridley, and Strath Haven hosting Archbishop Carroll and 2017 champions Haverford.

To see the scoreboard and schedule, and to learn how Hi-Q competitions work, visit Follow Hi-Q on Facebook, and Twitter to get breaking news.

Delco Hi-Q is a partnership between Delaware County Intermediate Unit (DCIU) and FMFCU Partners in Education. FMFCU Vice President Rick Durante serves as Director and Quizmaster, FMFCU Foundation Development & Events Specialist Danielle Griffin is Hi-Q Coordinator, and DCIU’s Dave Bramble is the production engineer. In addition to support from participating schools, Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union and the Wilbur C. and Betty Lea Henderson Foundation are the primary corporate sponsors. Additional support comes from longtime sponsor Kimberly-Clark Corporation and the Delaware County Daily Times.

5 solitaire games to enjoy in isolation

A game of Klondike solitaire

The threat of COVID-19 is forcing more and more of us to stay home due to quarantine or social distancing. As a result, we’re also often ending up with a surplus of free time. Throughout human history, people have found themselves in similar situations: lots of free time and no way to spend it with anyone. One traditional way to pass the time, in days before modern technology, was using a deck of cards to play a game by yourself.

Modern solitaire players are likely only familiar with the solitaire (or patience) games in software that comes pre-installed on their computer, such as Klondike (what people usually think of as just “Solitaire”), FreeCell, and Spider. However, with a physical deck of cards, the possibilities are limitless; there’s hundreds of solitaire games to keep things fresh. Here are five solitaire games to check out when you can’t play with a real opponent.

  1. Black Hole: Games expert David Parlett invented this game that, like Golf, centers around discarding cards of consecutive rank. However, unlike Golf, Black Hole is much easier to win; it boasts an estimated win rate of 86%.
  2. Bridge Solitaire: Stephen Rogers contributes this substitute for Contract Bridge that’s excellent for when players can’t get together to play. It’s designed to provide a challenge to experienced Bridge players to keep their skills sharp in lieu of a partner.
  3. Forty Thieves (Napoleon at St. Helena): Legend has it this two-deck solitaire game was a favorite of Napoleon in exile. That’s probably not true, but if you want to pretend you’re an exiled former emperor while playing this game instead of someone who’s hiding out from a virus, well, who are we to say you can’t?
  4. The Clock: A game that’s 100% luck-based, meaning it’s a great way to occupy your mind when you don’t feel like thinking too hard. Its striking tableau definitely makes it unique.
  5. Pyramid (Tut’s Tomb): These days, this game is probably best known from its inclusion in Windows in the early 1990s. It features a large triangular tableau, which the player seeks to eliminate by discarding pairs of cards that total thirteen.

The pandemic has forced everyone to focus on hygiene much more than usual in recent days, for good reason. Even when you’re playing by yourself, consider upgrading to a deck of Denexa 100% Plastic Playing Cards. Because they’re non-porous and waterproof, unlike paper cards, they’re easy to keep clean and sanitary.

One response to “5 solitaire games to enjoy in isolation”

  1. D Taylor says:

    Try Match Solitaire. You can play it in a smaller space and it has a 99%+ win rate and adjustable difficulty. https://matchsolitaire.com/rules/

She's been transforming into Hillary Clinton for 23 years

Story by Kristen Hwang | Photos by Richard Lui
Teresa Barnwell, of Palm Desert, has been doing Hillary Clinton impersonations since 1993. Photo taken at her home on Wednesday March 30, 2016.

On a searing hot day in the summer of 1992, Teresa Barnwell was playing double-diamond slots at the Edgewater Casino in Laughlin, Nev. It was a time when slot machines still took coins, and Barnwell was looking for somebody to give her some quarters.

“The change attendant guy came up and he said ‘Hey you know if Bill Clinton gets elected you’re going to get a lot of attention. You look just like his wife, Hillary.’ And I was like ‘Oh really, can I get some change?’” Barnwell said.

She turned around and kept playing slots, relishing a carefree weekend away from home with friends. At that moment, the 5’2”, blonde from North Carolina had no idea that her life was about to transform.

Teresa Barnwell, of Palm Desert, has been doing Hillary Clinton impersonations since 1993. Photo taken at her home on Wednesday March 30, 2016.

Bill Clinton, then-governor of Arkansas, had just won the Democratic presidential nomination and he and his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton were broadcast on televisions in every home.

Their faces were on the front page of newspapers and magazines across the nation. As the country got to know the Clintons, they got to know Barnwell too. In stores and restaurants, Barnwell was met with people saying “Hey it’s Hillary Clinton.” She couldn’t go anywhere without people mentioning her likeness.

“It was happening so much I didn’t know what to do. I was commiserating with a couple of girlfriends one night and I said ‘It was funny at first, but it’s not funny anymore,’” Barnwell said from her Palm Desert home.

At the time, she was working as an advertising sales representative for The Daily Pilot in Costa Mesa. She “never, ever, ever in a million years” thought she would become a Hillary Clinton impersonator, but those comments and brief asides swiftly turned into a 23-year career that has taken Barnwell all over the world and even landed her in front of the steps of the U.S. Capitol for Bill Clinton’s second inauguration.

“I wish I could find that guy and say ‘Hey look at what happened to me! You have the honor being the first person to recognize I looked like Hillary,’” Barnwell said.

In 2016, political impersonation is the lens through which many Americans get to know their leaders. It’s a comedic art form that pervades pop culture and living rooms across the country. Nearly every week the internet is in stitches over the latest portrayal of Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live.” Vaunted into recent fame by Tina Fey’s 2008 portrayal of Sarah Palin, which attracted 10 million viewers in a single night, the late night comedy show has become synonymous with political humor.

“An impersonator can be quite an important figure in breaking down how you look at a person – which things are important, which things do you ignore. They teach us how to look at some of our public figures,” said Nicholas Cull, a professor at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. “This is a really important subfield of political communication. Satire is important. I think it is important that we are able to laugh at our leaders and sometimes this can be a way that we get to know them better.”

How Donald Trump got fired by a California casino

But it wasn’t always so. Americans used to be much more careful about poking fun at the highest office in the land.

“In the past, a living president would be represented almost like the way they would represent Jesus in old time movies by just having a shadow or having a photograph from behind. They would really try and take do it very respectfully,” Cull said.

It wasn’t until Vaughn Meader, a musician and comedian, released a comedy album in 1962 called “The First Family” spoofing President John F. Kennedy that the “mystique” of the presidential office began to be dismantled. Meader’s album, in which he impersonates Kennedy, was an overnight success. It was the fastest selling record in history to that date. It won a Grammy for Album of the Year, and Meader became a household name.

Kennedy himself is said to have enjoyed Meader’s impressions. While doing research in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Cull said he stumbled across written evidence of a presidential aide who heard Meader’s impression on the radio and mistook him for the real deal. In a panic the aide sped to the White House, fearing that Kennedy had tanked his career over a crass joke.

“It went all the way up the chain of command, and when they told President Kennedy about it he thought it was hilarious. He said ‘I’ve got to get copies of those records to send out with my Christmas cards,’” Cull said.

Meader paved the way for generations of presidential and political impersonators to come, but his fame was short-lived. A year later, Kennedy’s assassination and the nation’s collective mourning brought Meader’s career to a screeching halt. He was never able to recover.

The same is true for impersonators of all kinds. When Princess Diana was killed in a car crash, Diana impersonators were devastated. When Al Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, Al Gore impersonators faded into the background, while Bush impersonators had eight years or more of steady work ahead of them. Celebrity impersonators - like the many Elvises, Michael Jacksons or Marilyn Monroes seen on Hollywood Boulevard - can be timeless, but often the career of a political impersonator is ephemeral. Their careers live and die in a strange parallel universe that often only lasts as long as the politician is in the limelight.

“There are times when I think ‘Hillary why do you want to run again? Why do you want to put me through this? Why? Why? Why?’” Barnwell asked in mock anguish.

Barnwell’s career as a Hillary Clinton impersonator began innocuously enough. The first job she landed was an appearance at a fundraiser for a Catholic church in Anaheim in 1993. Her paycheck was $40, and all she had to do was stand up and wave alongside a fake Elizabeth Taylor and a fake Pope.

But over time, the jobs got more interesting and the pay more lucrative. Clinton was a different kind of first lady. She took an active role in politics, and that helped Barnwell find jokes and land jobs. In the 1990s, Barnwell made more than 30 appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” She had cameos on “The Nanny” and on “Mad TV” as well as in some b-rated movies. She’s worked fundraisers at the Playboy Mansion, ran a booth at the 1996 Republican National Convention and filmed commercials in Australia and Sweden. In 2007 and 2008 when Clinton made her first bid for the White House, Barnwell said she was at her busiest doing comedy routines at corporate events and private parties of political donors non-stop. In 2011, she was in a photo spread in the April issue of Rolling Stone magazine with Bill Maher.

Her most interesting job to-date: a photoshoot with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

The job was shrouded in mystery at first. In the spring of 2011, Barnwell got a phone call from a booking agency inquiring whether she’d like to do a photoshoot in London with Alison Jackson, an award-winning British photographer famous for her work exploring the cult of the celebrity by using impersonators. Barnwell had worked with Jackson before and agreed to the job.

“As we were working through the details, the agency said ‘Oh by the way this photoshoot is with Julian Assange.’ My heart stopped,” Barnwell said. “I was hoping the FBI or somebody wouldn’t show up at my door.”

She flew to London and was driven through the English countryside to Ellingham Hall, the 600-acre estate Assange was staying at on bail before seeking asylum at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Assange has been hiding in the embassy since July 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over rape allegations that he denies. Assange and his legal team have said that once in hands of British or Swedish authorities he would be turned over to the U.S. to face charges over publication of classified material.

The photo, which depicted Clinton, Assange and a Middle Eastern man playing Texas Hold’em, appeared in a European magazine.

At times, Barnwell said she’s been mistaken for the real Hillary Clinton. In June of 1996, she was asked to make remarks at the dedication of a school in South Central Los Angeles. The school was to be renamed the Mary R. Shepard Christian Center after the matriarch of the local community.

She walked on stage wearing a pistachio-colored St. Johns suit very similar to one Clinton had been photographed in just days before and gave a funny speech. But Barnwell could tell the crowd wasn’t quite getting the jokes. As she left through the kitchen, a worker came forward, his outstretched hand shaking slightly. “I’m so thrilled to meet you. You’re the first lady,” he said. Miffed, Barnwell told him she was an actress and her secret service agent was really her husband.

“He got this real angry look on his face, because he felt like he’d been fooled,” Barnwell said, adding that most of the people at the event thought she was the real Clinton. “You would think people would get the joke but not everybody does.”

One time, though, the joke was on Barnwell. She and Pat Rick, a Bill Clinton impersonator, attended the California Ball in Washington, D.C. after President Bill Clinton’s 1997 inauguration. Around 9:30 p.m. they arrived at the ball and as they stepped through the doors of the convention center, the band began playing “Hail to the Chief.” Everybody in the room ran away from the two impersonators.

“We looked at each other like ‘Was it something we said?’ It was so ironic,” Barnwell said laughing. “That’s when we realized the real Clintons had arrived, and everybody wanted to see them and they were all rushing up to the stage.”

Teresa Barnwell and Pat Rick, who are Hillary and Bill Clinton impersonators, are pictured here at the California Ball in Washington, D.C. after Bill Clinton's 1997 inauguration.

Rick, who has been impersonating Bill Clinton since the 1990s too, said Barnwell has always been a “dead ringer” for Hillary. She also has an advantage over newer, younger people who might see an opportunity impersonating the Democratic frontrunner. Barnwell is older, plain and simple. As Clinton has aged naturally, so has Barnwell.

“Teresa really and truly had the look then and she has the look now,” Rick said. He expects her to get a lot more work as November approaches but knows that Bill Clinton impersonators like himself will have to take a back seat. It’s just the nature of the business.

Barnwell is a little more cautious, however. She doesn’t doubt that there will be a lot of work in the coming months. Already in this election cycle she’s appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and flown to Miami for the 50th birthday party of a long-time Hillary Clinton supporter. But Barnwell said as politics have become more polarized in the U.S. finding jobs has become harder.

People tend to shy away from hiring political impersonators. They don’t want to run the risk of offending anyone. And the audience can get aggressive.

Back in the day, Barnwell used to work the Republican National Convention because people thought it was funny to have a Hillary Clinton impersonator telling jokes and selling trinkets. Now, Barnwell said you couldn’t pay her to get anywhere near the convention.

“I’ve had people pull my hair. I’ve had people look at my teeth. I’ve had people grab my breasts...I’ve had to deal with people who have said a lot of unflattering things about Hillary, Chelsea, Bill, just a lot of craziness,” she said. “I’ve been in situations where the crowd got out of control and I had to have real security escort me out of the room. I just can’t imagine being in that real situation of running for president.”

Stay up to date on the 2016 presidential election and the real Hillary Clinton

Barnwell has met her doppelganger. In January 1996, Clinton stopped in Los Angeles as part of her book tour for “It Takes a Village.” Barnwell bought a ticket to the event and waited in line to meet Clinton. When she got her minute with the then-first lady, she said “Hello Hillary, it’s so nice to meet you. Has anybody ever told you that you look like Teresa Barnwell?”

She said she’ll always be grateful to Clinton for the accidental career that she’s had.

Nearly 10,000 saplings are being planted this winter in 6 locations across Devon through a scheme organised by Devon Wildlife Trust and the Woodland Trust

Twenty-five species, all native to Devon have been distributed to landowners in the upstream catchments of the rivers Dart, Yeo, Tamar, Otter, lower down the Exe and around Fernworthy Reservoir on Dartmoor. Working Wetlands, a Devon Wildlife Trust project supported by Upstream Thinking, have been working with these landowners for 5 years.

As well as concentrating on specific parts of Devon, the planting project will also target key places where the new trees can have the greatest impact. Trees and hedgerows store carbon, reduce soil erosion and provide shelter and food for wildlife.

Hedgerows are particularly important for a variety of wildlife. As well as providing shelter they create corridors for wildlife to move through and also offer natural flood management by intercepting rainfall. The roots of the oak, hawthorn and hazel trees will stabilise the soil, reducing soil loss by water erosion. Trees also slow the movement of water from land to river, reducing flood risk and benefitting downstream communities.

How is this helping Devon reach net-zero?

Action F1.2: As part of the Land Use Framework, and underpinned by the Nature Recovery Network, identify opportunities to implement a Trees for Devon initiative.

This project is helping to achieve two goals in the Devon Carbon Plan to restore and enhance habitats and soils so they fulfil their natural carbon sequestration potential and ensure farmers and land managers are aware of the options available for helping meet net-zero on their lands. Supporting landowners in upstream areas to improve tree coverage helps increase the flood resilience of downstream communities as well as providing long-term carbon stores, helping Devon both adapt and mitigate climate change.

Product #EX1900

The Retort provides a method for measuring the percentage (%) of oil and water, and for estimating both suspended and dissolved solids contained in a sample of water-based or oil-based muds and cuttings.

Darkest Dungeon, the video game about the horrors of adventuring, is getting a board game

From Solomon Kane and Time of Legends: Joan of Arc maker Mythic.

Venture through shadowy pathways in search of fortune in the upcoming board game adaptation of hit indie video game Darkest Dungeon.

The video game board game was announced by Mythic Games co-owner and managing director Léo Vesperini during a Dice Tower video stream .

Discussing Mythic’s next project, Vesperini revealed that the studio would be launching a Kickstarter campaign for a licensed adaptation of Darkest Dungeon “at the end of the year, probably fall”.

The publisher has previously crowdfunded games including this year’s Viking adventure game HEL: The Last Saga, Solomon Kane - based on the stories by Conan writer Robert E. Howard - Time of Legends: Joan of Arc and Greek-inspired miniatures board game Mythic Battles: Pantheon.

A single-player turn-based RPG first released in 2015, Darkest Dungeon presents a gothic fantasy world in which a group of adventurers controlled by the player explores various dangerous locations in search of wealth.

With the option to hire characters in different classes, from grave robbers to plague doctors, the player must select their party members carefully. Aside from the multitudes of vicious beasts and rivals encountered during each excursion, the player’s party of adventurers must also contend with battling terrifying supernatural monsters.

Darkest Dungeon video game screenshot 3

The doom-and-gloom tone translates into various effects that can cause characters to behave in ways beyond the player’s control. For example, the fear condition can force a character to move further back in the fighting line, while other effects can cause characters to actively jump into harm's way, such as the masochistic trait, or have them take all the discovered treasure for themselves.

The further the player’s party ventures into a dungeon, the greater the rewards will be. However, each enemy encountered means risking another opportunity for characters to acquire new effects or even die, with any character deaths being permanent.

A sequel to Darkest Dungeon was announced early last year with developer Red Hook Studios revealing that the new video game would be releasing in December 2020.

The Kickstarter campaign for the Darkest Dungeon board game will launch sometime later this year. Further details on its gameplay and release date are yet to be announced.

San Jose Creditors' Rights Attorneys

Creditors' Rights in Bankruptcy — or How to Get Your Assets Back Even if the Debtor Files

The Bankruptcy Code gives creditors information to allow them to decide if the debtors are worth pursuing, and also provides creditors with significant protections against unpaid debt. Our firm specializes in helping creditors, pre-bankruptcy, plan for the possibility of bankruptcy, evaluating the cost-effectiveness of pursuing a bankrupt debtor, and collecting debts in bankruptcy.

Diemer & Wei, LLP, provides aggressive advocacy and creative, cost-effective solutions to the problems faced by business creditors, lenders, business owners and a variety of other creditors. In doing so, we use the full complement of tools provided by federal bankruptcy law to protect our creditor clients' rights and to make debtors pay what they owe.

To learn more about your rights and options as a creditor, contact our San Jose debt collection lawyers online or call 408-971-6270 to schedule an appointment to discuss your situation.

Working Hard to Protect Your Rights as a Creditor

Diemer & Wei's California bankruptcy attorneys all have years of experience. Unlike most bankruptcy firms, Diemer & Wei's attorneys are also experienced trial attorneys, able to litigate in bankruptcy courts, district courts and state courts. Diemer & Wei's experience in both bankruptcy and litigation allows them to effectively protect your rights as a creditor.

Diemer & Wei's attorneys regularly take the following actions to protect creditor clients:

Challenging the "automatic stay": In appropriate cases, we challenge the stay granted to debtors that prevents further collection and foreclosure actions being taken once the bankruptcy petition has been filed.

Adversary proceeding: File actions allowing creditors to challenge the discharge or existence of certain debts. Examples of nondischargeable debts include debts incurred through fraud or through willful or malicious conduct.

Preference litigation: A trustee may be able to recover and return funds to the bankruptcy estate through preference litigation. We defend creditors in these types of actions.

Fraudulent conveyances: Filing suit against debtors who pre-bankruptcy transferred assets to others for little or no consideration or, with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud a creditor.

Challenging lien avoidance: We challenge debtor attempts to remove lien encumbrances from property during the bankruptcy process.

Bankruptcy reclamation: During bankruptcy, creditors can "reclaim" property sold to a debtor during the 45 days prior to the debtor's bankruptcy filing. The window of opportunity to do this, however, is fairly small. In other words, do not wait to talk to a lawyer.

Commercial debt collection: Our firm provides advice, services and representation to creditors seeking to collect large commercial debts.

Contact Our San Jose Business Debt Litigation Lawyers

If you are a creditor who is having difficulty collecting a debt, we can help. Contact our California creditors' rights attorneys online or call 408-971-6270 to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your situation.

Free Market Coalition Opposes Digital Dragnet

This morning, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary will mark up H.R. 1981, a bill that would impose a broad data retention mandate on all U.S. commercial Internet service providers.

Today, a coalition of free market public interest groups submitted a letter to the committee voicing serious concerns regarding H.R. 1981. The coalition, which includes the Competitive Enterprise Institute, TechFreedom, and Americans for Tax Reform’s, warned that a broad data retention mandate would burden small businesses, hinder innovation, undermine cybersecurity, endanger free speech, harm Americans’ privacy and set a dangerous international precedent—all without appreciably advancing law enforcement objectives or benefiting criminal investigations.

The coalition letter explains that:

“The mandate would impact an extraordinarily broad array of businesses of all sizes that offer Internet service to the public for a fee. Americans access the Internet not only at home but also at coffee shops, hotels, restaurants, offices, and at numerous other venues. Requiring all firms that sell Internet access to log temporary network address data would impose substantial costs. As with all burdensome regulations on the private sector, consumers themselves ultimately bear most of the costs incurred by companies in complying with the data retention mandate.”

“H.R. 1981 follows in the footsteps of repressive governments such as China, which recently enacted a similar retention mandate covering wireless Internet providers to facilitate its suppression of dissidents. America should take the moral high ground: citizens are innocent until proven guilty. A blanket mandate requiring providers to retain network address information pertaining to all citizens—the vast majority of whom have never been charged with a criminal offense—amounts to a ‘digital dragnet’ of staggering proportions.”

“An extensive body of empirical evidence, including the experiences of other nations in which similar laws have been enacted, strongly suggests that H.R. 1981 is not likely to result in any appreciable decrease in crimes committed against children. Congress is rightly concerned about the horrific crime of child exploitation, but the proper response to such concerns is a narrowly tailored approach that preserves Internet freedom and minimizes burdens on the private sector while enabling law enforcement to bring child predators to justice.”

NYSE: MCS: Large Increase In Short Term Stocks

In October, there has been a huge growth in short interest for the NYSE: MCS, The Marcus Company. 3,220,000 shares were increased from 2,240,000 shares. There was a growth of about 43.8 percent since the 30th of October. The interest rate is being reported as 764,500 shares within a short period of 4.2 days. This is monumental because the company sold 14.5 percent of short stocks.

The Barrington Researchers have been commenting on these stocks of NYSE: MCS where the stocks are upgraded from “outperform” to just a humungous “market perform”. This came out very recently on the 26th of October of 2020. Even the rivals of Barrington Researchers, ValuEngine had brought up the ratings of the NYSE: MCS stock to ‘strong-buy’ from the opinion ‘buy” on October 17th, 2020.

- Advertisement -

The Marcus, another stock news had put up the ratings of NYSE: MCS stocks from a ‘d’ to a ‘c’. This has led big companies and investors to be more motivated in the company’s stocks. This has also caused many stock analysts to talk about the company’s stocks’ doing invariably well.

Profile of Marcus Co. (NYSE: MCS)

The Marcus Corporation had made its name by owning subsidiaries, movie theatres, hotels, and restaurants in America. Under Marcus Co, there are about 1110 movie theatres placed around America in 91 locations. This was brought up in estimating the NYSE: MCS stocks during the 17th of August, 2020 in a census. Apart from this, there are various other subsidiary projects that Marcus Corporation has tied up with such as BistroPlex brands and MovieTaverns all across the country of USA.

Investments put in the NYSE: MCS

Many investors have also modified in the essence of reducing their investments into these stocks. Bank of America, one of the investors in the NYSE: MCS stocks had its stocks multiplied by 42.5 percent in the second quarter. After such, Bank of America’s corporation has now held by 41065 shares, after buying almost 12,250 shares making the NYSE: MCS stock worth an amount of 545 thousand dollars. There was another increase of stocks by 2 percent in the Marcus Co. just in the second quarter after Dalton Greiner Hartman bought shares.

- Advertisement -

Now, Dalton Greiner Hartman owns approximately 165,540 shares which makes 2,197,000 dollars. This figure is estimated after 3299 new shares were bought in the last quarter. Even companies such as WINTON GROUP bought new shares from NYSE: MCS of stocks worth 1,158,000 dollars. Furthermore, WEDGE Capital Management now owns about 3,513,000 dollars worth of stock after buying 454,510 shares from Marcus Company.

On 4th August, however, the company stated that they had been earning 1.40 dollars each stock, as explained by Thompson Reuters. The company was thought to have earned about 4.7 million dollars according to analysts but it had earned 7.93million dollars. It was reported that Marcus had a negative return of 4.23 percent on equity, with a negative net margin of 4.15 percent.

The company has been doing well-off, as one might safely presume because of the increase in the short interest in the stocks.

After updating server files, what do I need to do make them updated?

Posted January 26, 2018 6.8k views
Server OptimizationDjangoUbuntu 16.04

After I update a file being served on the system, is there a command I need to run to make the changes go live? Something like sudo systemctl restart nginx since I’m using Nginx?

Or do I simply need to wait awhile for the changes to proliferate?

I’m using Django, Ubuntu 16.04, Nginx and Gunicorn

These answers are provided by our Community. If you find them useful, show some love by clicking the heart. If you run into issues leave a comment, or add your own answer to help others.

sudo nginx -t this will tell you if your configuration file(s) has any errors.

If no errors on Ubuntu:16.04 you can do sudo service nginx restart

You only have to restart/reload if you change a config file. Web files require no restarting or waiting.

Hey guys,

Have you ever wondered why some people don’t seem to work hard and yet seem to get everything?
These people’s lives are exciting adventures. They are glad to get out of bed in the morning and live every day to the fullest. They love what they are doing and they do it well. They go through life with elegance and style and on top of that, they gain material success. It seems that they possess magical power.
The truth is that these people's lives are neither easier nor less challenging than the lives of others, very often is the opposite. The difference is hidden in their ability to LEAD themselves to handle effectively new, complex, and problematic situations.
My name is Dimi Cholakov.
I am a Leadership Coach.
I have dedicated the last 10 years of my life to studying, contemplating, practicing, and coaching in the area of Leadership, and most specifically in the area of Self-Leadership.
Honestly, there is a lot of pain and internal conflict in the process of becoming our own leader because we are facing our greatest stumbling block - us.
However, the more we develop our ability to lead ourselves, the more we take ownership of everything that happens in our life, the more we increase considerably our peace, contentment, and self-confidence.
And exactly this serenity and confidence create the safety to uncover our true potential.

It doesn't come easy though, we need to dig deeper inside ourselves to find the hidden blocks which are staying on our way. It is absolutely normal to have a challenge going through this process effortlessly because part of us is still connected to old habits and believes.

The challenge here is that we have had them for so long that we feel them as part of ourselves. The truth is that at some point in our life they served us in some way, and that’s why we decided to accept them but we forgot to question their usefulness from time to time.

Let's be honest, you can go through this process alone, and if this is your decision I am with you. There are thousands(if not millions) of books and programs out there you can use.

If you want to make it faster and with someone on your side, it is likely that we can work together on this amazing journey.

The challenge I will help you with is finding those habits and beliefs which not only are not helping you anymore but also stay in the way of your prosperity and fulfillment.

Through using different coaching tools and processes, we are going to challenge your destructive perspectives.

I will be honest with you like no one else dares to be in your life, as my intention is not to please you but help you:

  • First, know and embrace your unabridged version

  • Second, develop a high level of self-trust

  • Third, lead yourself towards a prosperous and fulfilling life

The more you know yourself, the more clarity you will have on the reasons for your destructive actions and inaction, which will give you the luxury of informed future actions.

You will stop “wanting” and start engaging in the process of creating a future that’s different from the future that would have arrived by default.
