Grace Potter & the Nocturnals

For 48 years Long Park (Lancaster Pa) has offered free music on Sunday night in the summer. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals kick's off Long Parks 13 week summer series this year. With there new cd (Grace Potter and the Nocturnals) due out Tuesday some 8,000 people were on hand to enjoy the show. The Nocturnals consist of Scott Tournet (lead guitar) Matt Barr (drums) Catherine Popper (bass) and Benny Yurco (rhythm guitar). Grace Potter was wearing a short fire engine red dress and sun glasses as she entered the stage. Starting with "Joey"
and then moving into some fast-paced tunes, including "Goodbye Kiss," "Money" and "Only Love." They then slowed it down some with a short acoustic songs. (this was new for me) Ain't No Time and Ragged. They then pick the pace back up again. They ended the set with Medicine. They then game out to do a 3 song encore starting with Blondie's Heart of Glass.

Tokyo gov seeks 2nd term, says Japan unprepared for pandemic

Yuriko Koike

Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike speaks during an exclusive interview with The Associated Press at her office of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Tokyo Wednesday, June 17, 2020, ahead of a two-week campaigning for the election. A political go-getter, Koike even had the coronavirus crisis turn in her favor. And she repeatedly upstaged Prime Minister Shinzo Abe by taking more proactive steps ahead of him, gaining public support.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan may have contained its coronavirus outbreaks for now but the country needs better crisis management and a digital transformation to prepare for future shocks, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike says.

“We have to sort out the problems and start preparing now for a possible next wave,” Koike said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I will firmly strengthen the system.”

Koike is favored to win a second term in a July 5 election after gaining respect for her proactive approach to controlling coronavirus outbreaks in Japan’s capital.

As the pandemic deepened in the spring, Koike often upstaged fellow conservative Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose popularity has suffered from his handling of the crisis and its devastating impact on the economy, on top of a slew of scandals.

Koike is viewed as a potential candidate to succeed Abe when his term ends in September 2021. For now, she says she’s focused on protecting Tokyo, a megacity with a $1 trillion economy.

“Tackling coronavirus measures is an extremely big challenge, and it’s more important than anything else,” she said Wednesday on the eve of a 17-day campaign period for the election.

Taking care not to criticize Abe directly, Koike said she had to coordinate with him to get things done by requesting help on the national level, implying she would have handled things differently.

“There were times when Tokyo had to go ahead, in the spirit of encouraging the national government,” she said. “It is my mission to protect the lives and health of the 14 million people in the city and I was doing everything I could.”

Among other things, Koike says Japan should have its own version of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. to fight infectious diseases.

She noted that despite the country’s high-tech image, as the pandemic took hold health centers were using fax machines to transmit medical data, slowing responses and information sharing. Although Japan has universal, relatively affordable health care and local health centers, unlike its neighbors it had not suffered major outbreaks of other infectious viruses such as SARS or MERS and was therefore unprepared to react quickly when cases began surfacing in January.

The health ministry set up a nationwide online data sharing system only after Tokyo had to make major corrections of coronavirus cases numbers in May amid mishandling of data transmitted by faxes.

Though Koike has not fully delivered on promises to Tokyoites to get rid of packed commuter trains, ensure adequate availability of child and elder care facilities and end overwork, even her critics laud her handling of the pandemic.

Until late March, both Abe and Koike were insisting on the Tokyo Olympics would go ahead as planned in July. Once the games were postponed until July 2021, Koike began pushing for urgent measures to fight the pandemic and urged the government to declare a state of emergency. Abe appeared reluctant to do that, and has been accused of doing too little, too late.

Koike led a group of local leaders urging Abe to move more aggressively, frequently visiting his office to negotiate over policy. She led the way in arranging for hotels to take in quarantine patients with no or slight symptoms to free up hospital beds to prevent a collapse of the overwhelmed medical system in the capital region.

“Ms. Koike seems to have managed the coronavirus situation more smoothly than the national government,” said Ryosuke Nishida, a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, though he noted their roles were different.

Koike shares the same nationalist policy stance as Abe, but their relationship has been compared to the tug of war between President Donald Trump and New York’s Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose state was ravaged by the pandemic.

A TV newscaster-turned-politician, Koike is stylish and media savvy. A smooth talker who sounds decisive, like Cuomo she is articulate and to the point. She does not stray from facts, and she has one mission: to protect Tokyo.

Also like Cuomo, at the height of the outbreaks she held daily updates on YouTube, capturing viewers’ attention with warnings about “explosions” of infections and the risks of the “3 Cs” — closed spaces, crowded places and close conversations.

Koike also fought to get requests for a partial shutdown of businesses sooner.

“Mr. Abe did not make any big mistakes, but his handling looked inferior” to Ms. Koike’s and some other local leaders,’ said Yu Uchiyama, University of Tokyo professor of political science. “Ms. Koike has high communication skills, but Mr. Abe does not.”

Koike was an LDP lawmaker for nearly 20 years and has served in key Cabinet and ruling party posts, helping to crash what she’s described not as a glass ceiling for women in Japan but an “iron plate.” She was Japan’s first female defense minister and has held other Cabinet posts. After failing to win the LDP presidency she set her sights on becoming Tokyo’s first female governor, in July 2016.

She earned the nickname “migratory bird” for hopping between parties and forming new alliances — at least seven times — in contrast with other Japanese politicians famous for their loyalty to party factions.

As Tokyo governor, Koike has pushed for populist measures such as administrative reforms, wiser spending and reviewing costly venues for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

She does not commit to any particular principles or policy goals, Nishida said, “But Ms. Koike has an aura and she stands out.”

Analysts say she is almost certain to win the election next month despite some recent setbacks including a challenge by popular actor-turned-politician Taro Yamamoto. He wants to cancel the Tokyo Olympics and use funds saved to help people hurt by the coronavirus crisis.

Koike says that instead she wants the games to be a model for future Olympics and Paralympics while finding ways to simplify and economize.

“There are many issues to be resolved, but when we share a major global goal it can be become a proof of our victory against the coronavirus,” she said. “What a meaningful event it will be.”

Sen. Dan Feltes: We need to stand up for workers, communities, and small businesses with stimulus funds

For the Monitor
Published: 4/2/2020 3:53:51 PM
Modified: 4/2/2020 3:53:41 PM

This is an unprecedented moment in our state and nation’s history. Tens of thousands of Granite Staters have been crushed by job loss. Hundreds of our small businesses have shut down. Our health care system is being pushed to the very edge.

Tough decisions are being made everywhere. But, everywhere, people are stepping up. Thank you to those on the front lines of this fight, not only sacrificing time with their families but risking their own health.

On the federal level, Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan and Reps. Annie Kuster and Chris Pappas worked hard for New Hampshire, securing $1.25 billion in largely unrestricted federal resources in the latest stimulus package. We’ve never faced a crisis like this before and we’ve never received an unrestricted federal stimulus of this scale before. We owe it to the people of New Hampshire to move quickly under the tradition of open, public and transparent financial discussions.

No one party or one person has a monopoly over good ideas, so it’s critical we all participate in this discussion. Based on numerous conversations with Granite Staters in recent weeks, here are a few ideas:

First, we should create a “Frontline Worker Fund” of at least $50 million to provide direct financial assistance to frontline workers in this emergency. The fund could also support immediate training for workers being brought on to help fight this crisis. As the rest of the state stays home, our firefighters, law enforcement, first responders, public employees, grocery store workers and frontline health care workers are all going to work each and every day for all of us, putting their very health on the line for all of us.

In addition to helping show gratitude, the Frontline Worker Fund may help to attract and retain some of the needed workers in this crisis. Right now, unemployment insurance benefits are being increased for folks crushed by job loss, we ought to increase the pay of frontline workers in a Frontline Worker Fund.

Second, we need to provide assistance to our towns and cities. There should be an immediate $100 million distribution to towns and cities on a “per person” basis to help them with additional expenses. After this immediate distribution, we can explore using additional funds to make no-interest loans and/or grants to float communities if property tax collections lag.

Our communities are taking on additional costs in their schools, emergency services and other public services, and our property-tax payers shouldn’t have to bear these costs.

Third, on the small-business front, the Small Business Administration moved quickly to provide low-interest disaster relief loans, and thanks to Sen. Shaheen, the stimulus legislation included many other critical small business provisions as well as increased support. However, we must also take supplemental action at the state level. We know that while many small businesses in New Hampshire have already closed, they have a proven business model and customer base. We should set aside funds to establish a “Fast Start” grant program that allows previously established businesses that closed because of COVID-19 to erase debt and fund start-up costs.

The above ideas represent possible immediate action steps that could help all of us. It’s certainly not an exhaustive list and only a fraction of the over $1.25 billion New Hampshire is receiving in additional resources.

Just as any immediate action steps deserve public discussion and input, so too does a more comprehensive use of the remaining funds. We should explore what we can do to provide revenue relief and sustain critical state programs, including the hospital fund, while bolstering high need areas of public health, domestic violence prevention, and child protection; set aside money for future needs; expand access to health care if New Hampshire does not apply for and secure an 1115 waiver; and how else we can help our small businesses, the backbone of New Hampshire’s economy.

We should have an open and public discussion about how best to use and quickly distribute these critical funds to provide relief to our communities during this unprecedented public health crisis. Let’s start that discussion now.

(Dan Feltes is a former legal aid attorney with New Hampshire Legal Assistance and lives in the South End of Concord with his wife, Erin, and their two daughters, Iris and Josie. Dan serves as state senator for Concord, Henniker, Hopkinton, Penacook and Warner, and as the Senate’s majority leader. In the 2020 election, Dan is running to serve as governor.)

Homework Three Answers - Student Four

From Conservapedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Addison D.

2. Other than George Washington, who do you think was the most influential Founding Father? This is a difficult question because a number of Founding Fathers were quite influential. I cannot decide between the following two. 1) Thomas Jefferson, since he mainly authored the Declaration of Independence and continued to be heavily involved in early American politics. He was a President and a foreign delegate, among other involvement. 2) Benjamin Franklin. Franklin did not do as much as many of the other Founders in politics, but I think he exemplified what would become the quintessential American character. He was a spiritual (Christian?) and educated man. He was an ingenious inventor and scientist who believed in hard work. I believe his whole legacy and character have shaped (or at least symbolize) the American character.

Good, comprehensive answer. Note, however, that you picked two of the least Christian among the Founding Fathers, and hence the two who are promoted the most by liberals. Neither contributed much to the U.S. Constitution (Jefferson wasn't even there), and the most important provision in the Declaration of Independence was largely taken from the Virginia Declaration of Rights.

3. The Constitutional Convention: describe the "what, when, where, and how" about it. The Constitutional Convention was held in 1787 in Philadelphia. It took place in Independence Hall, the same room where the Declaration of Independence was debated. Originally convened to amend and improve the Articles of Confederation, the Convention eventually decided to start new and began writing the Constitution. This was a laborious process, taking a whole summer with 39 of 55 delegates actually signing the new document. Despite the troubles of getting the Constitution written, the Convention was well worth it because the Constitution worked far better than the Articles.

Terrific answer with a good historical observation about using the same room as the Declaration of Independence!

4. Give an example of George Washington's leadership. Explain. Washington’s handling of the Whiskey Rebellion is an obvious but excellent example. Washington personally rode out to the meet the rebellion, which dispersed rather than actually face him. After some of the rebels were convicted of crimes, Washington pardoned them. I think the key to Washington’s leadership was this. He managed to be humble and kind, while at the same time strong and principled. It was clear that in pardoning the rebels, he was not endorsing their actions or backing away from his original position against them. Unlike modern politicians, Washington knew how to take a stand without seeming mean or “intolerant.”

Superb analysis.

5. "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." From where is that quote taken, and what does it mean to you? This quote is from George Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796. I understand it to mean that a society, particular its governance, will be much better off if rooted in morality and religion. I say in particular its governance because Washington said “political prosperity” which probably refers to the political and governmental aspects of the society. If the government and political climate are based on greed and power, they will not help form a good society. If the government and political climate are based on moral and religious principles, they will contribute to a good society (or preserve it).

Excellent! May use as a model answer.

7. President John Adams was only a one-term president. Why? Adams was an influential Founding Father but a rather poor (and unlucky) president. First of all, he had to follow Washington, who was probably the most highly esteemed of the Founders, more so than Adams anyway. Second, foreign policy problems such as the XYZ affair and the naval war with France. Though Adams was not directly responsible for these, they still made him look bad (as when a bad economy is wrongly blamed on the president). Third, the Alien and Sedition Acts, and particularly the Sedition Act, ensured that he would not have the support of the Democratic-Republicans, and probably discredited him in the eyes of many. As the lecture points out Adams was from Massachusetts, the tradition of which was not exactly open and democratic. Adams seems to have been playing politics with the Sedition Act, which combined with the administration’s other problems all but ensured that Adams would not be reelected.

Perfect answer, which addresses all of the main reasons.

8. Write about any issue related to this week's lecture. Debate: Does the United States really need an office of president? This is a very interesting question. The knee-jerk reaction would be to say that of course we need a president! But there is no reason why a president is “needed” any more than, for example, an executive committee. What is needed is some kind of executive office or power but it does need to be an individual president.

However, having a president is obviously helpful because the president symbolizes the United States in foreign policy disputes, and if we did not have a single head of state we might have less leverage in world affairs. So I think we should have an office of president for convenience but I don’t we “need” it of necessity.

Superb analysis!

H1. Would you have been an Anti-Federalist with respect to the Constitution? Discuss. I don’t know that I could answer this. Knowing today how well the Constitution has turned out overall, I would certainly support it. But if I lived back then, I might be wary of the centralized power created by the Constitution. It must have seemed a lot like “meet the new boss, same as the old boss” to (possibly) replace the King with just a new American tyrant, i.e. the president or central government as a whole. I would probably be afraid that the Revolution would be in vain. However, between the promise of the Bill of Rights and the dismal failure of the Articles of Confederation, I think I would cautiously support the Constitution.

Right. Most would agree, but you provide good reasons for being cautious.

H2. Do you think States have the power of "nullification" with respect to laws passed by Congress? Discuss in the context of the Alien & Sedition Acts. At the time that the Virginia and Kentucky Resolves were declared, there was no clear precedent for or against state nullification of federal law. However, it only seems logical that if a law is unconstitutional, the states don’t have to follow it. In fact, it could even be illegal for the states to follow it. So if the Alien and Sedition Acts were unconstitutional (and they seem to have been) then the states had every right to refuse the laws.

However, the question seems to me to be, who decides if a law is unconstitutional? I’m not sure states have this authority apart from the courts. States cannot just pick and choose laws and then claim nullification power. I think a law’s unconstitutionality must be fairly clear before a state nullifies it.

Good answer, but could elaborate a bit more. Aren't states co-equal sovereigns to the federal government under our unique system of government. You ask the question of "who decides" but then don't answer you're own question! (Minus 1).

H5. Write about any issue related to this week's lecture. Debate: Was it proper for the delegates to go beyond their authority to amend the Articles of Confederation, and instead propose a new constitution? Legally speaking, it is unclear whether the delegates were actually allowed to do this. First of all, the Articles of Confederation as a whole were simply not working, and second of all, there was no prohibition on totally replacing the Articles. Since in any case a large majority of the states had to ratify the Constitution before it became law, I don’t see why replacing the Articles was wrong.

Was it “proper” is a somewhat broader question. If it was legally okay to replace the Articles (which it may have been), then certainly it was proper, since the Constitution proved far superior to the Articles. If it were not legal to replace the Articles, I would still say it proper, since ratification was required. If the states disagreed with what the Convention did, they had the right to not ratify the Constitution. But they did ratify. As long as there was still a democratic procedure by which the Convention’s new document would have to be ratified, I think it was proper for them to replace the Articles.

Good, thorough analysis, but it seems to overlook the problem of political momentum: once the delegates replaced the Articles, the cat was out of the bag and ratification by the states was difficult to stop. Some might say it was impossible to stop. So while you're technically correct that ratification was still required, the delegates had spoken and the media was behind them, as the media would be for replacing the Constitution today if there were a new constitutional convention.
So I think your legalistic answer could have addressed -- even if to reject -- the importance of the media and culture in the ratification process, because those elements are probably even more important today. (Minus 1).
Grade: 88/90. Superb answers, including several possible model answers.

Deutsche Telekom selects ADTRAN's OLT for Access 4.0 network

Deutsche Telekom has selected ADTRAN’s SDX OLT solutions for deployment as part of its new Access 4.0 network, as well as to be deployed in its existing architectures along with ADTRAN’s SDN-enabled management system, Mosaic Cloud Platform.

As part of this partnership, Deutsche Telekom and ADTRAN have aligned joint developments for the Access 4.0 project, based on principles defined by the Open Networking Foundation’s SDN-Enabled Broadband Access (SEBA) reference architecture.

DT's Access 4.0 network is integrating SDN, disaggregated hardware components and network functions virtualization (NFV) technologies in an open ecosystem to gain flexibility while lowering overall deployment costs. In the first phase, Access 4.0 will focus on DT’s fiber access network that can scale to support a mix of residential, enterprise and backhaul services.

ADTRAN’s SDX OLT solutions integrate into Access 4.0’s SEBA-based architecture to provide carrier-grade GPON and XGS-PON service delivery in an open ecosystem.

“The Access 4.0 program constitutes a true paradigm shift, not only in terms of technology, but also ecosystem, collaboration and agility, through its ability to break vendor lock-in and reduce time-to-market,” said Robert Soukup, Deutsche Telekom Senior Program Manager. “A key to our success will be ADTRAN’s domain experience, their history of working with DT on its large-scale access initiatives and their commitment to delivering an open, scalable and disaggregated solution.”

“DT’s Access 4.0 network is changing the way access networks and services will be designed, developed and deployed for the next several decades,” said Dr. Eduard Scheiterer, ADTRAN Senior Vice President, Research and Development. “ADTRAN shares DT’s vision for creating more advanced fiber access architectures that provide the network economies of data centers and the service agility of cloud providers. We believe this is how networks should be built and look forward to helping DT achieve its network and market goals today, as well as support future planned network expansion.”

ADTRAN adds ONTs to 10G PON Portfolio

ADTRAN introduced its new 600-Series of 10G PON ONTs, which serve all business and residential broadband applications. The line-up now includes the: SDX 602x 10G SME ONU Delivers high-bandwidth SLA-based, enterprise-grade services by integrating Carrier Ethernet network interface device functionality.

ONF publishes SEBA, Trellis and ODTN reference designs

The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) released its first three Reference Designs (RD’s): SEBA, Trellis and ODTN. Each of these reference designs are backed by network operators and supported by supply chain partners. The reference designs are paired with an open source Exemplar Platform (EP).  Both the RD and EP proceed in parallel, and RDs are not released unless a paired EP is available to prove out the architecture and accelerate adoption.  Virtualized...

ONF partners with Edgecore on SEBA,ODTN and Trellis projects

ONF reached an agreement with Edgecore Networks to dedicate significant engineering resources to accelerate and ensure the success of the ONF projects SEBA, ODTN and Trellis.

Specifically, ONF and Edgecore have jointly created the new Onsite Immersion Engineering program (ONF-OIE) to embed engineers within the ONF lab team. Edgecore engineers will work closely with the ONF and its community of developers to help mature the functionality, robustness, scalability, and reliability of these platforms so they are ready for production deployments. Edgecore is the first ONF Partner Member to be making use of the new ONF-OIE program, building a dedicated team of engineers to work at ONF’s facilities under ONF’s direction.

“Edgecore Networks and the ONF are now harnessing a significant opportunity with operators that have fully embraced open source to power their edge networks,” said George Tchaparian, president and CEO for Edgecore. “Edgecore Networks is committed to the vision of open platforms, and is ensuring that a SEBA, VOLTHA and Trellis run seamlessly on our Edgecore hardware.”

“We are very pleased to strengthen our collaboration with Edgecore Networks with the launch of the ONF-OIE program, especially as our exemplar platforms based on open source and white box hardware are gaining significant traction worldwide,” said Guru Parulkar, executive director for the ONF.  “This group of developers will play an important role maturing SEBA, VOLTHA and Trellisand readying these platforms for production; first on Edgecore Networks hardware, followed by others, and with deployment by operators around the globe.

Update on ONF's SDN Enabled Broadband Access

Here's an update on the SDN Enabled Broadband Access reference design developed by Open Networking Foundation (ONF), presented by ADTRAN's Kurt Raaflaub.

SEBA is a lightweight platform based on a variant of R-CORD. It supports a multitude of virtualized access technologies at the edge of the carrier network, including PON, G.Fast, and eventually DOCSIS and more. SEBA supports both residential access and wireless backhaul and is optimized such that traffic can run ‘fastpath’ straight through to the backbone without requiring VNF processing on a server.

High Hops Brewery to Release First 30 Pack of Craft Beer

High Hops Brewery to Release First 30 Pack of Craft Beer

WINDSOR, CO – High Hops Brewery announced their plans today to release a 30 pack of their Colorado Craft Lager, The Cold One, making it the first craft beer box of its Beer and Food Coursekind. The official release date has been set to February 18, 2018. Starting then, you can expect to see it on the liquor store shelves cozied up next to the other 30 packs from big beer names like Budweiser and Coors.

The Cold One comes in at an easy-drinking 5.2% alcohol by volume, and has a refreshingly light, crisp body while still maintaining high-quality craft flavors. Inspired by the Colorado lifestyle, The Cold One’s 12oz cans can be enjoyed during any occasion, whether it’s grilling and gardening in the back yard, or enjoying the great outdoors on the rivers, lakes, or slopes.

The Cold One is a great transition beer for those who enjoy lagers and other light beers, but want to support local, independently-owned breweries. The 12oz cans of Colorado Craft Lager will also be available in 6-packs, and it will continue to be served on draught in bars and restaurants throughout the state.

About High Hops Brewery Established in 2012, High Hops Brewery is a family-founded, owned-and-operated business located in Windsor, Colorado. Patrick and Amanda Weakland, owners and founders of The Windsor Gardener, took their hobby of home brewing to the public and have since received numerous awards and accolades. With the slogan “All Types of Beer for All Types of People,” High Hops Brewery’s goal is to give life to a family of beers that’s both unique and delicious. Their unique location, which is inside of a garden center on a plot of farmland, allows them to grow their own quality beer ingredients, like hops, herbs, and spices. Learn more at

Innovating the future of rental

Rental is a people and a service business in constant change because of megatrends like digitalization, sustainable solutions and more agile organizations. The world is changing and moving faster, and so are we.

We are shaping our future with a new strategy called Shape & Share. With this new strategy, we want to capture the potential in our markets, enable people to achieve top performance, stretch and scale up our business models and last but not least: We want to establish game-changing offerings in sharing resources.

Meet our Innovations Director

In order to come up with ideas for the future, Cramo appointed Tomi Sundberg as Innovations and New Business Development Director in late 2016.

“I am driven by a strong passion for change leadership, business development and performance management. My track record is in international business development, with several years of experience in leading international teams. My ambition is for Cramo to be the most innovative company in the business by 2020.”

70-hour Innovation Race

In partnership with the Swedish consultancy Innovation Plant, Tomi hosted a 70-hour “Innovation Race” to find ideas for the rental business of tomorrow. A large number of creative and innovative employees from every Cramo country gathered in Stockholm, and as a result of that event 15 potential projects were identified. The projects were presented to the market, giving decision makers, board members, customers and other key players the opportunity to take part.

Where is my tool?

The Internet of Things and technology today enable us to tag our machinery. This makes it easy to track equipment and helps our customers to locate their rentals on work sites. Combined with our new Cramo eCRent e-commerce solution, tagging fits really well with our mission – to give our customers a great day at work. The idea is that they will be able to track their rental products online.

What happens now?

Still, this is just the starting point. We will continually put new ideas and projects in an agile innovations matrix. In order to adapt to future challenges, we can no longer work with roadmaps; we need to be agile and initiate development on a continuous basis. We have set up a Digital Transformation Team with the purpose of providing the best development environment possible. The team is led by Tomi.

Amaidre Argumon

AMBER Alert: Officials provide update on missing newborn, ask community to look for ‘fresh graves’ as father remains jailed

Texas authorities are asking the public to be on the lookout as the desperate search for an infant boy continues.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, 1-month-old Armaidre Antwan Marquie Argumon was last seen on the morning of September 18 in Wells, Texas, close to the 500 Block of Old Forest Road. The following day, authorities found the truck the baby was last seen in and detained his father, Deandre Argumon, for questioning.

Doomsday death & deception: Nancy Grace investigates “Cult Mom” Lori Vallow. Inside sources reveal brand new bombshell information. Click here to watch.

On Tuesday, officials with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) confirmed that DeAndre Argumon was arrested and charged with endangering and/or abandoning a child. The suspect denied he had anything to do with the baby’s disappearance and reportedly said he gave Armaidre back to his mother.

The baby’s mother has not been named a suspect or person of interest in the case.

Authorities also said DeAndre Argumon was released from jail on September 15, after an arrest for a parole violation. He had known Armaidre for only three days before the baby vanished.

“Armaidre was seen with his father at 8:30 [a.m.] on September 18,” Cherokee County Sheriff Brent Dickson said. “Since that day, Armaidre has not been seen. We do have Mr. DeAndre Argumon in custody for a related charge to this incident.”

Dickson added that the suspect has been uncooperative with investigators. Dickson is now asking the public to “be vigilant” and keep an eye out for anything out of place.

“Look for anything out of place, look for small fresh graves… just anything that would raise a suspicion. Do not touch it and please call local law enforcement.”

Anyone who saw Deandre Argumon on September 18 between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. should contact authorities immediately. He was driving a grey 2003 Ford Explorer and may have been in Wells or the surrounding areas.

Posted by East Texas Center for the Missing on Monday, September 21, 2020

“There is no information too small. We need everything we can get at this time,” Dickson said.

Dickson warned that if anyone is hiding the baby, they should come forward and return the infant to his mother immediately.

Meanwhile, Cherokee County Crime Stoppers is offering a “substantial” reward for anyone with information that leads to the Armaidre. Anyone with any information about the baby should contact the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office at 903-683-2271 or Crime Stoppers at 903-586-7867.

Who Do You Want To Run Your Business When You Retire?

When an entrepreneur starts a business, it can sometimes be hard to imagine anyone else doing their job. Small business owners can pour years, even decades, of hard work into getting their processes, vendors, and contracts in place. But as the years press on, eventually you may want to slow down. Then the question becomes who do you want to run your business when you retire?

Choosing The Right Successor To Run Your Business When You Retire

Succession planning should never be a personality contest. When you have deep, sometimes family ties to key staff members they can seem like obvious choices to carry on once you retire or step away from day-to-day management of the company. However, entrepreneurs know, family priorities and smart business decisions don’t always go hand in hand. Your oldest child may be the person you connect most deeply with and want to be successful, but if he or she doesn’t understand the practicalities of running a business, it could end in disaster.

Part of successful strategic planning is choosing the right successor to run your business after you step away. Remember that ownership and management do not have to fall to the same person. You can ensure that your children reap the benefits of the business even if their skillsets are not suited to the task of running it. In deciding who should be your company’s next CEO, take a close look at the strengths and weaknesses of your trusted staff. Choose someone with a mind for your industry that you can recruit and train to increase your chances of success.

Building A Succession Planning Strategy To Empower Your Successor

It is a rare circumstance indeed when a potential successor is ready to step into the job on day one without training. That is why the best succession plans start 5 or even 10 years before you plan to retire. You need time to empower your successor and give him or her the tools to pick up where you leave off.

By developing a succession planning strategy early, you can plan – and budget – for your successor to attend leadership training, receive necessary certifications, and learn what happens behind the curtain over time, instead of being thrust into the role on short notice. This will also give you a degree of increased control, as you will be able to show your replacement why you have made the choices you did along the way.

Family Businesses Bring Estate Planning Concerns

Whether you hand business operations over to the next generation, or plan to have your successor purchase the company from your family when you are gone, you will need to consider the estate planning implications of passing on the family business. Depending on the value of the company, and the size of your estate, your loved ones could be faced with substantial estate tax consequences when they inherit their ownership interests.

There are ways to work around this, if you work with a business succession and estate planning attorney in advance. For example, you can structure a gradual buy-in or gifting of smaller interests that allow your heirs to take ownership one piece at a time and stay below the tax threshold. You may also be able to plan that the estate is divided between several family members, to divide the tax burden, offsetting the corporate interests with other property or liquid assets you control.

Finding the right person to run your business when you retire should not be as simple as looking at the family tree. If you are beginning to consider your exit strategy, you should sit down with an attorney who focuses on business succession planning now. The lawyer will help you consider your options objectively, so you can make the best decision for based on your priorities and your company’s bottom line.

The Cronin Law Firm has experienced attorneys to aid with whatever legal issue you’re facing. If you are planning for your company’s future or to protect your family business after you are gone, contact The Cronin Law Firm today to schedule a consultation.

Crossdressers - Beware the dangers on the Internet

Of all the blessings afforded the crossdresser, few can compare with the Internet. Barely twenty years ago there was a dearth of information on crossdressing. We were doomed to live afflicted with guilt wandering alone in the barren wilderness. We eyed ourselves in the mirror feeling isolated by the shame of our “perversion”. Many took their secret to the grave, never daring to tell another of the feminine inside of yearning to be free. Unable to bear their own judgment, a few unfortunate souls hastened their own journey from this world.

The Internet is changing this…

I’m old enough to have spent my teenage years without the Internet – to have endured my crossdressing alone, wrestling day and night with feelings of shame and the unceasing compulsion to wear woman’s clothes. I was torn – I needed to talk with someone – to try and understand myself – yet I knew, I KNEW that what I was doing was so shamefully wrong I could never reveal it to another soul.

Visit Transgender Heaven

Isolation drove me to absurd conclusions, and made the crazy seem rational. It’s not a coincidence that solitary confinement is among the worst punishments a prisoner can receive. We’re biologically wired to need companionship – to draw strength from a familiar face, and seek community among like minded souls. So we join the local church, or woman’s group, or Toastmaster’s club. We find others like us where we can fit in.

For crossdressers, the Internet is the ultimate club. A place where we can find companionship while still retaining our anonymity. Where we can learn about our unique nature without mumbling a lame excuse in response to the librarian’s questioning stare at the “Crossdressing for Dummies” book in our hand.

But The Internet is Not All Sunshine and Roses

Recently a reader of Crossdresser Heaven found this out the hard way. Lucy (as we’ll call her) had submitted a crossdressing success story along with a lovely photo of herself in her feminine attire. A few months later she had the misfortune to break up with her girlfriend – a girlfriend who both knew about Lucy’s crossdressing and her story on Crossdresser Heaven. A girlfriend with a vengeful streak, who decided to use the story to out Lucy to her friends and family. Soon afterwards I received an urgent email asking that the story be taking down – a request I hastily honored.

As I said above, the Internet is a wonderful thing for crossdressers, the friendship and self-validation you can find will nurture your soul. I only ask that you think carefully before “coming out on the Internet”. Photos are stories have a way of getting around.

En Femme Discover Woman Within

Be careful out there.

P.S. If you haven’t already, please read the 3 steps for keeping your feminine identity secret on Facebook.

Yes, you have to be careful, of course depending on your own specific situation, your level of caution may vary. I have one ex girlfiend that I know is a total game player and was wanting something to try and hang over my head. After she left, I found some photos of mine that were of me dressed as Racquel. She didn’t take the ones of me as a male or the ones of me dressed as a female in full dress. She only took the ones of me in lingerie I guess because she thought that would be the… Read more »

I agree with Vanessa, you have to be careful about what you post on the internet, as what you do online can have a direct impact on what happens offline (the “real” world). For example in the news a year ago someone lost their job over something that they posted on their facebook profile. Being a computer techie and having worked in the IT field as a professional IT Technician, I’ve seen some of the major benefits that the Internet can offer, it’s all about knowing what you’re looking for rather than just clicking around, which can lead to problems.… Read more »

In my experience, I learned that it is better to be up front about it from the start. Maybe not the first couple of dates with someone, unless it is someone you have known for a while already and just started dating. If things look like they are going to progress and you think you want to be with that person long term or even a lifetime, it is better to tell them sooner than later. You don’t want them finding out form someone else or some other way. It is always best coming directly from you. This builds more… Read more »

I encourage all of you ladies to be very careful when you go out in the world. There are are some very hateful and violent people out there. I have been out for over 20 years and I have had 4 instances of physical violence aimed at me. Very early in my transition I was crossing a parking lot and a man tried to hit… Read more »

Even though I’m a ass kicker like Mikkii, I prefer to avoid even dirty looks! I’ve had ex girlfriends out me before – when I was younger – and said, so what? To my friends she told. They are still my friends! But here in the rural south it’s different, folks seem to think sexual folks are pervs. Hell, they reject even normal-sexed folks that wasn’t born here! Weird stares I can do without! It’s always been hard to trust folks! But with the net there is a false sense of safety. For example. .. dating sites. Very popular! !!… Read more »

The second time was different. As I was enjoying my meal one evening awaiting a show that was about to begin, a guy watching from across the room while I ate came to my table and came on to me. Wow!

I was playing pool at a bar once in femme, and a guy kept commenting on how good my butt looked. I eventually told him I was a dude and he took a pool ball and wouldn’t leave me alone until I took out a breast form and let him hold it. Some people just don’t understand that others don’t want to be harassed like that.

Deal Focus: Gigabot 3-D Printing Crowdfunding on Kickstarter

Crowdfunding and 3-D Printers have been quite the rage of late.  Other companies have successfully crowdfunded their 3-D printer projects.  A recent search on Indiegogo revealed 4 pages associated with the term 3-D printing – but then more than a few were looking for a way to fund a purchase of 3-D printer.  In the not too distant future, we will probably all have one of these sitting in our home offices.

Gigabot in ActionSo why the 3-D Gigabot printer from re:3D?  It’s big, it’s very cool and I have always wanted my own personal factory. The creators claim this is the largest 3 D printer available today.  And you can take it home with you for around $2500.00.

Originally this project was intended for developing countries.  A way where small businesses and communities could create necessary products on demand without the wait.  Think rain water bins or composting receptacles – tons of agricultural uses. But during the development process the re:3D team thought why not provide the printer for the domestic market.

Their Kickstarter campaign has been a big success.  On a funding goal ofJust think of what you can create with your Gigabot personal 3 D Printer $40,000 they have raised to date over $134,000.  With over 40 days left on the timer, they are now targeting a stretch goal of $200,000, where they will use the funds to incorporate an LCD screen into each Gigabot shipped for their Kickstarter donors.

So there is still time to be the first person in your neighborhood to take home a Gigabot.  The kids will have a blast too.

Both ship's theatres and several public spaces were renovated, new cabin categories and games activities for families were introduced. The project also resulted in the following changes.

  • Completely redesigned were 400 Gradi (midship deck 8, Pizzeria by chef Johnny Di Francesco) and Luke’s Bar (deck 14, grill bar by chef Luke Mangan). Luke’s Bar now also functions as specialty restaurant for lunch and dinner but continues to operate daily as poolside food bar for premium burgers and seafood dishes (take-away option).
  • A new games arcade was added on deck 12 (aft). Among the 21 arcade machines is the popular VR game "Virtual Rabbids".

  • Some of the main public spaces (The Atrium, The Pantry, Marquee Lounge) were also refreshed. Black Circus Lounge (deck 5) was renovated and updated with new artworks and upholstery.

Cardano Foundation Partners with COTI for ADA Payment Solution

The Cardano Foundation has partnered with COTI, an enterprise-grade financial technology company in a bid to develop an ada payment gateway. The information was made available by the foundation via its blog post on October 23, 2019, stating that this venture when launched would enable near instant settlement 35 fiat currencies.

The project which is due for launch in November would allow merchants to accept ada payments directly into their local bank accounts without unnecessary time lag. The development and implementation service would be undertaken by COTI with the objective of making ada payments simple.

When deployed, merchants would be able to accept the digital currency in real time with a simple integration on their sites with an adaPay button or a QR-based point of sale (PoS) system.

Speaking on the collaboration, the CEO of COTI, Shahaf Bar-Geffen said:

“We are pleased to team up with the Cardano Foundation in building a unique payment solution for merchants seeking adaPay checkout functionality. We have a lot to the mutual trust and support between the Cardano ecosystem partners and COTI. This joint effort is one of the first steps we are taking in delivering a truly universal payment solution and expanding the COTI tech stack beyond our own ecosystem. The ways people exchange value is changing for the better, and the future is looking more promising for payments.”

The Cardano Foundation will take advantage of COTI’s Universal Payment Solution 60 (UPS) to power the ada payment gateway offering and further extend the utility use case for the token in the quest to extend the adoption of the coin – both inside and outside of the Cardano ecosystem.

The COTI UPS will provide a complete suite of  ada payment solution that will combine all existing support systems of traditional payment processors with the added value of digital assets. The company would also incorporate debit card issue and lending services made available to merchants.

10 Playful & Easy Ways to Make Your Rooms More Exciting

10 Playful & Easy Ways to Make Your Rooms More Exciting
After the dreary months of winter, we’re all ready for color. Bright colors are a great way to boost your mood and add playfulness to your home. Sometimes change can seem so daunting, but here are 10 ways to easily add color and playfulness to your home.

1. Add Colorful Décor

An easy way to add color to your home is by incorporating it into your décor. Colorful eye-catchers, such as paintings, table lamps, or end tables are easy updates that can change the feeling of a room as soon as it’s put in its place. If you are feeling a little bold, use colorful chair cushions to add even more interest to your living room. You can also add color to your kitchen by adding colorful cushions to seats.

2. Paint a Door

A bright, colorful door creates a gorgeous statement piece for your home. If you aren’t sure about adding too many pops of color, a statement door flows perfectly with neutral décor.

3. Change a Wall

Ready to add some exciting color to large parts of your home? Painting a wall is the perfect way to get that pop! Use a couple of shades of one color and add a chair rail to break them up to add some creativity to your room. Tie your walls and furniture together by adding throw pillows that feature an accent color from your wall color.

4. Add Patterns

Mixed Patterns Throw Pillows

Patterns are a fun way to add interest to anything, but for your home, throw pillows always make it easy. There are so many different patterns to choose from, the hardest part is picking your favorites! Don’t be afraid to mix patterns with coordinating colors.

5. Mix Colors

Mixed Colors Throw Pillows with Window Seat

While mixing colors may sound intimidating, it’s not as difficult as you imagine. Using basic color theory, colors that are opposite color wheeleach other on the color wheel are complementary, makes choosing colors easy. For instance, orange and blue are opposite each other on the color wheel, which is why you commonly see them used together. Adding another color to the mix, such as green, creates a whole new level of interest.

6. Add Color in Unexpected Places

Kitchens tend to be the heart of a home. Update your backsplash and light pendants to pop, making your kitchen a fun place.

7. Use Color in Subtle Ways

If adding lots of bright colors is not your thing, don’t worry! There are still other ways to add color to your home. Add floor pillows with subtle shades of color, such as navy, to your living room. Fresh flowers are another great way to add color and life to any space, too.
Tip: Adding small amounts of deep or light versions of colors help keep color subtle.

8. Add Color to Bright Areas of a Home

Rooms with natural light tend to make it easier to play with color. Natural sunlight illuminates colorful items. The fastest way to dramatically change the mood of a room is to update the curtains. Dress up your windows with drapes. The color next to the window will automatically make them brighter.

9. Give Your Dog Some Color, Too

Dog Bed

Does your dog’s bed clash with the rest of your living room? Coordinate your pup’s bed with your décor or use it to add a pop of color. The best thing about a custom dog bed is you get to choose. Match the dog bed fabric to one of the bright colors used throughout your home or coordinate it with your throw pillows.

10. Add a Mirror

Adding a mirror creates a different kind of brightness in a room. Placing a mirror in an area that already has natural lighting will create a glow across the room as the light reflects off the mirror.

While you may hear certain “rules” about the right and wrong ways to add color to your home, sometimes those rules are meant to be broken. When adding playful aspects to your home, do what makes you feel comfortable and happy. After all, your home is for you to enjoy!

Prague & Czech Photo Tour / Your Holiday Photos from Prague

Our company Horus EYE s.r.o., established in 2008, has always focused on linking the two key activities – photography and traveling. Since 2012, we’ve organized photographic courses and expeditions for Czech and international customers alike.

We're professional photographers, travelers, and trainers to boot.

We're fully aware that as a photographer your needs are different to those of a typical tourist. You need a different time, space and viewpoint.
That’s why we decided to run specialized photographic expeditions, custom-made for the photographers.
Our offer includes traveling to towns with the UNESCO memorial certificate, as well as less-known yet unique locations. We also focus on the adventure tourism that presents the Czech Republic from a different viewpoint, providing not only nice pictures but also unexpected and beautiful experience.

We’d like to offer you unique experience of travelling and photographing the most attractive locations of the Czech Republic.

However, our photographic journeys, or walks, are also intended for people who don’t take photos as a hobby, or are just thinking about getting into it.

We're going to teach you the rules of composition, and to help you out with the appropriate setup, or even with selecting the right equipment.

If you’re a photographer traveling with a boyfriend/girlfriend, feel free to invite him/her too. We’ll make sure it won’t be boring.

We're also offering the service of capturing your holiday memories. We'll take you to the best places to take the best portraits of you, alone or with your partner, family or friends.
We communicate in various languages ( CZ, EN, DE, FR, ES ).

Photography and traveling is not only our job but also our hobby. We enjoy it, and it would make us happy if you enjoy it with us.

Virtus.Pro CSGO pashaBiceps NEO roster

After one of the worst years in the organization’s illustrious history, Virtus.Pro will be ceasing competitive CSGO activities. It may be marking the end of one of the most well-known CSGO teams of all time.

Virtus.Pro would fall short of many of their goals this year, with many disappointing finishes along the way. Additionally, their roster would go through multiple changes as well, a sign of things to come. Roman Dvoryankin,’s General manager would state:

After [the] London Major, we were quite optimistic about the potential of the current lineup. Unfortunately, our expectations were not met. The long term strategy for us is to build a competitive team around young players and we will follow it while making decisions. I’d like to ask our fans to be supportive in the next couple of weeks.

The announcement would follow a horrible showing at the Europe Minor qualifier for the IEM Katowice 2019 Major. Virtus.Pro would also fail to qualify for the next season of the ESL Pro League. It truly seems like the end of an era, but this was not a sudden decline. We should look back at what brought the team to this unfortunate end, starting at the 2018 Asia Championships.

An Abysmal 2018

After the 2018 Asia Championships in June, many Virtus.Pro fans were still optimistic about the year. Their performance at the tournament was decent, and would earn them second place behind Natus Vincere. However, it would be the final good placing that Virtus.Pro would have for the rest of the year. The team would drop out early in multiple events, including DreamHack Open Valencia 2018, ZOTAC Cup Masters 2018, and the FACEIT London Major.

Unfortunately, the disappointment would continue following the Major. Virtus.Pro would have early exits from BLAST Pro Series Istanbul, as well as season six of the Esports Championship Series in Europe. It was a constant stream of losses that would leave the team and its players a shadow of itself. At the same time, the former Polish superteam would lose a few key members on the way.

First, they would lose star fragger, Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski, who would end up moving to Mousesports. Unfortunately for him, save for ESL One New York, he and Mouz wouldn’t find much success and he is now sitting on the bench. Later down the line in 2018, the team would also lose longtime member, Paweł “byali” Bieliński. Filip “NEO” Kubski and Jarosław “pashaBiceps” Jarząbkowski still remain on the team, but have not been able to find their form all year.

Looking towards the future

Virtus.Pro now has time to rethink their strategy for 2019. It seems like they may be starting their roster from scratch, with an emphasis on youth. A clean slate may be necessary for Virtus.Pro to achieve some kind of greatness in the future. As for their roster, many of the players are going to head their separate ways, it seems. PashaBiceps seems to be hinting at retirement, as he would tweet out:

It is a sad day in the CSGO community, as many people have fond memories of Virtus.Pro. Also, the team was once a dominant force in the competitive scene, so seeing their fate end like this is quite disheartening. However, no matter what happens to the players and the team, we wish the best of luck to them all as they find their path to success.

What are your thoughts on Virtus.Pro ceasing competitive CSGO activities? Let us know what you think in the comments below! If you want more CSGO coverage, check us out here!

CELTIC are in contact with Bordeaux stopper Michael Ciani over a £1million move to Parkhead.

Agent Pierre Frelot last night confirmed that Neil Lennon is interested in the 28-year-old and talks are under way.

Roma, Newcastle, Wigan and Sevilla are also keen on Ciani, who is available for transfer with just one year of his contract to go.

Advisor Frelot has revealed that Celtic have been in touch regarding the international defender’s availability and said: “We are in the first stages of contact.”

The powerful stopper was capped once by former French boss Raymond Domenech but Bordeaux are now willing to do business.

Celtic are understood to be in the race for Manchester City kid Mohammed Abu as well.

The 20-year-old midfielder is being farmed out by the English champions as they look to build his first-team experience.

Abu has just completed a short-term spell at Norwegian club Stromgodset but City now want him to take a step up the ladder to a stronger division.

However, Parkhead chiefs face competition from Anderlecht, Espanyol and Mallorca for the Ghanaian, who has already collected four caps.

Abu admitted: “I know Anderlecht have been to watch me.

“There have also been Dutch teams in the stands with Spanish and Scottish sides interested as well. I enjoyed Stromgodset but City want me to play in a stronger league to speed up my development.”

Celtic are also monitoring the situation of Norwegian midfielder Markus Henriksen, who is high on their summer shopping list.

The 19-year-old is available for £2.5m from Rosenborg but the SPL champions have yet to make a move as Lennon surveys his options.

Henriksen, however, spent most of yesterday locked in talks with Rosenborg sporting director Erik Hoftun to discuss a fresh offer for his services. So the Hoops could miss out, with Germans Hamburg also firmly in the chase.

Meanwhile, Swansea have opened the door for Stephen Dobbie to make a switch to Parkhead after chairman Huw Jenkins admitted the striker, 29, is likely to be made available for transfer.

New Swans manager Michael Laudrup wants to cut his squad size and Jenkins insists former Rangers, Hibs and St Johnstone marksman Dobbie could move on.

The Scot, who spent the end of last season on loan at Blackpool, has already admitted he is keen on a switch to Lennon’s side.

And Jenkins said: “The new manager only wants to carry 22 within the squad. We need to free up space and provide fresh challenges for last season’s regulars. For anybody who didn’t play regularly, Michael will be asking why.”

Celtic have already missed out on one transfer target after Republic of Ireland midfielder Keith Andrews, 31, yesterday joined Bolton on a three-year deal.

  1. S M

    Dear Daphne, I began reading your book immediately and read it to the last page. Congratulations, it is a gem! It is about age; yet the language is full of charming good humour. It smiles and bounds along eagerly, with love of living.
    Without rambling too much, I’d mention there are pearls stung out along the line of your narrative; pearls of true and useful wisdom that you have magically remembered from other lips or
    dropped as if accidently from your.own hand; so the story is thoughtful yet stops short of being dismissive. They halt my reading just enough to make me take in their shape, and I like that.
    Didn’t we live through marvellous times?
    With respect & love
