Using census to fight case backlog in courts
Moses Kasolo has been on remand for the last five years. Every time he goes for a court hearing, it does not take off because his case file "disappeared". He is resigned to his fate and doubts that the case will be disposed of.
Kasolo's case is part of the cluster of files that catergorise case backlog.
To clear the uncertainty over the monster of case backlog in the country, the Judiciary is set to carry out a two-day nationwide physical case file counting exercise today and tomorrow (December 10-11).
This initiative will be the first of its kind in the history of the Judiciary since independence in 1962.
Statistics from the Judiciary indicates that the case backlog could be standing at more than 160,000 cases. Some cases are as old as 20 years.
The problem at hand
Case backlog, which is a major challenge the Judiciary is grappling with, refers to the uncompleted cases that have stayed in the justice system for more than two years from the date of filing without judgment being passed.
The administrative head of the High Court, Principal Judge Yorokamu Bamwine recently at a function at Mukono Chief Magistrate's Court, explained physical counting of the case files will help in planning in as far as recruitment of more judicial officers to manage the existing cases.
"We want to deal away with this question of case backlog by physically counting all the files in our justice system," he said.
He added: "I know it will not be an easy job but let's do it. There will be files that will be full of dust but after counting them, the dust will be removed and the cases heard.
"The counting will also help us to know the number of pending files and this will in turn help us to tell the President of our workload so that he may give us more judicial officers..."
The Chief Registrar, Paul Gadenya Wolimbwa, in a notice to registrars and magistrates said the census is a stock-taking exercise to identify all pending cases and weed out dead or non-existent cases in court registries.
"For purposes of the census, pending cases include cases that are reserved for judgment, alternative dispute resolution, plea bargaining and appeals, pending filing of the memoranda of appeal. Non-existent cases have the ordinary meaning and include cases that were concluded but are still reflected in court registers and on the computerised case administration system," he explained.
The notice copied to the Chief Justice, police, prisons authorities and other stakeholders stated that all the courts will be closed to the general public during the national case census except for those filing court pleadings, which are likely to be time barred and criminal cases for processing of pleas and bail where appropriate.
"All the heads of stations shall be responsible for ensuring that the census goes on smoothly and that the results of the census are submitted to the collection centres that shall be designated in due course.
"Judicial officers who run more than one court such as chief magistrates will be required to coordinate the exercise at all the courts under their supervision," he said.
The Chief Registrar said that customised stationery will be provided to cater for for incidental expenses.
"It should be emphasised that the census does not constitute additional work but is part and parcel of the routine work of the courts."
"The Chief Justice directs all judicial staff to inform the general public about the census and not to fix cases on the days of the census and where cases had been fixed on these days, to give parties new hearing dates," Gadenya said.
The taskforce
Meanwhile, the judiciary has set up a 14-man team led by Justice Henry Peter Adonyo to prepare, coordinate and oversee the execution of the exercise.
According to Andrew Khaukha, the secretary of the taskforce, the team will spearhead the case census at all courts to inform the transformation of the Judiciary into an "efficient, effective and accountable institution."
Chief Bart Katureebe in Office Instruction Number 4 of 2015 says the overall objective of the taskforce is "to establish the number of pending cases in the courts of judicature and their status."
He adds, "It is now agreed that the Judiciary with the assistance of a dedicated Taskforce carries out a national court case census to inform the transformation of the Judiciary into an efficient, effective and accountable institution that is capable of delivering timely and expeditious justice to all Ugandans."
History of census
A census is the gathering of information about all the people in a particular country or region. Taking censuses is an old tradition. For example, in ancient Rome, the government would periodically count all the citizens and evaluate their property in order to see how much tax a person should pay. In modern times, many countries conduct regular censuses, usually every five or 10 years. Institutions carry out census to inform their planning processes.
Will this work?
When census is mentioned, many people think of population census carried out by governments. The reality is that outside government, institutions use census information to help them develop programmes, while businesses use it to decide where to build various facilities, such as factories and shopping malls.
In the case of judiciary, it is to identify pending cases and devise a holistic approach to fight this backlog. A pre-test of the census was carried out at sampled courts on December 2. The purpose was to establish whether the instrument is workable and feasible in achieving the census objective. The exercise was supervised by the taskforce members to assess the viability of the instrument. The taskforce will then identify cross-cutting issues before compiling their findings in a report and handing them to the Chief Justice.
Andrew Khaukha, the secretary of the taskforce says all is set for the exercise. "We have dispatched teams at the 13 High Court circuits as well as the magisterial areas within them. Members of the team will do specific counting of the files. The specific things they are looking for are spelt out on the data entry sheets."
Asked how prepared they are for this exercise, Khaukha says the secretariat has been working with the Uganda of Bureau of Statistics in how to adequately carry out the enumeration exercise. He further adds that the taskforce has held several capacity building workshops.
At the National Plea Bargaining Conference in July, Justice Katureebe in his speech said it is impossible to have a modern Judiciary without ascertaining the backlog. As such, people such as Kasolo hope such a manual counting of files will enable the courts dispose of their cases as soon as possible.
Census will inform Judiciary decisions
Justice Henry Peter Adonyo the National Court Census Taskforce chairperson, says the Chief Justice issued Office Instruction Number Four to oversee the National Court Case Census in all courts of judicature. The decision to do a physical count was in response to continued public outcry on delayed justice. It was also informed by the chief justices meeting in New Zealand to ascertain case backlog in their jurisdictions so as to allocate personnel and resources accordingly. He adds that the exercise is being carried out at this time so as to plan for the next law year which starts in January.
Shs120m has been allocated for the two-day exercise as well as the final completion of the report.
On how the 14 member team will reach the more than 200 court houses across the country, Justice Adonyo says the taskforce has co-opted people from different Justice Law and Order Sector institutions to help monitor the exercise.
"We have co-opted people different JLOS institutions who will be helping us to ensure that the exercise goes on smoothly. Although the courts will not be operational to the public, the personnel there will be present to ensure that the process is smoothly done."
He added that for checking and validation purposes, there will be custom-made stickers which will be put on the files for future verification.
Justice Adonyo says although this is the first court case census, it will certainly not be the last since the judiciary intends to use this tool to ascertain perceived backlog in the system.

HTC's struggling sales is no secret. It's because of this and other negative profit results among manufacturing problems, that there has been a shift in positions for many of HTC's high level executives. The most recent change from the Taiwanese company is the move to hand over HTC CFO Chailin Chang the responsibilities of Global sales studies, which was previously handled by HTC America President Jason Mckenzie. According to Bloomberg, the news of this responsibility swap came today in an emailed response.
A handful of problems have caused HTC to change up a lot of their strategies in an attempt to stay afloat and gain some ground in the smartphone market. With issues like cheaper competition and delays in manufacturing, and quality control being some of the biggest issues they have faced. All these issues have resulted in HTC falling short of sales estimates for a 9 quarter run.
Today's role switch isn't the only one we've seen recently, as there have been a total of six senior executives that have been removed from their positions in the last three years, which was obviously a move to better HTC's situation. Among the other downfalls that HTC has seen lately, they have reported their first ever quarterly operating loss. As a first for HTC and a big one at that, these changes in high level positions are meant to prevent a second quarterly operating loss, which HTC can avoid if they meet their goals for Q4.
Chang who has been CFO since April of last year, has made many changes to some of HTC's operations since his appointment, including reorganizing China operations, and cutting spending to research and development. Although these decisions were made with good intentions they still couldn't prevent a decline in HTC shares which has fallen 52 percent just this year. All of HTC's continued restructuring could be just what the company needs, but will this most recent change help them or hinder them further? With rumors on the horizon that HTC will be releasing a sequel to their popular One handset, hopefully HTC can finally pull ahead.

Communities Organized to Respond in Emergencies (C.O.R.E.)
Miami-Dade Communities Organized to Respond in Emergencies (C.O.R.E.) strives to better engage Faith-Based and Community Organizations (FBCOs) in planning for, responding to, and recovering from disasters that affect the community.
Engaging the whole community allows everyone to collectively understand and assess the needs of their communities and determine the best ways to organize their resources.
A component of the DHS/FEMA Center for Faith-based & Neighborhood Partnership's "Building Resilience with Diverse Communities" effort, Miami-Dade C.O.R.E. identifies ways to connect FBCOs along the emergency management continuum.
Miami-Dade C.O.R.E. seeks to address the needs of targeted population groups during and after a disaster by creating a network of FBCOs who share a common mission of supporting their communities.
These critical partnerships engage diverse groups from private and nonprofit sectors to the general public within Miami-Dade County and are meant to empower residents and provide a greater understanding of the community's risks and capabilities.
Why Should You Join?
FCBOs are often an important source of assistance during a time of disaster and the recovery period which follows.
Miami-Dade C.O.R.E. provides organizations with an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of their services through training, workshops, and partnerships with both the county and the other Miami-Dade C.O.R.E. affiliates in the network.
Relationships developed by members of Miami-Dade C.O.R.E. help foster communication, improve coordination, enhance preparedness, speed recovery efforts, and create more disaster-resilient communities.
Members also benefit from these relationships by having greater access to information, shared knowledge, and resources. Educational opportunities enable Miami-Dade C.O.R.E. organizations to broaden their knowledge base in the areas related to disaster preparedness, response and recovery.
Trainings are designed to provide participants with tools to better serve their community. Completion of these trainings and the certifications that may follow could potentially open up additional opportunities for an organization.
How Can You Help?
Knowing the needs of your community and the ways your organization can help before a disaster is important to assist in its recovery. Does your church or organization:
- Have the capability to support the community by distributing emergency relief supplies like drinking water, emergency food, or clothing?
- Have volunteers that can sort, package, and store donated goods for distribution to those in need?
- Have the ability to offer emotional and spiritual healing to a community recovering from a disaster?
- Have the ability to provide a temporary home for a family that has lost everything to a disaster?
- Have the ability to help provide the basic needs of a community (like food, clothes, shelter, home repair)?
FBCOs that are providing or are capable of providing such services and could benefit from collaboration with other organizations and county emergency management should join C.O.R.E. in order to maximize the impact of their efforts within their community.
Emergency Management Continuum
The four independent risk-based functions of the Emergency Management Continuum: mitigation of, preparation for, response to, and recovery from emergencies. These functions can be undertaken sequentially or concurrently, and they are not independent of each other.

In 2014 Indonesia will begin the process of rolling out universal healthcare- through stages, the goal is to have national healthcare within Indonesia established by 2019. Currently, only approximately 60 percent of Indonesia's population is covered by some form of health insurance according to Refworld.
In the meantime, expatriates who are currently living in Indonesia or plan to be in the near future will need to purchase private international health insurance.
When searching for insurance for expats in Indonesia it's important to first establish what benefits will be needed within the plan. If you are looking for a plan, a couple of key benefits that you will want to make sure your plan includes are:
- In Patient and Out-Patient care
- Wellness Visits
- Repatriation of Remains
- Emergency Medical Evacuation
- Hospitalization
- Doctor's Visits
Other benefits that you will want to look for beyond these items may include maternity, mental health, wellness and pre-existing condition coverage.
Two popular options when it comes to insurance for expats in Indonesia include the following:
IMG Global Medical Insurance Plan:
Individuals can have up to $8,000,000 in coverage with the Global Medical plan and are able to choose their own deductible. This plan includes all of the suggested coverage basics plus more comprehensive benefits like vision, dental, wellness, mental health and maternity.
If you are looking for one of the most comprehensive plans when it comes to insurance for expats in Indonesia, this plan is the option you've been searching for. Individuals with the IHHP plan can enjoy coverage for the basics along with terrorist attacks and chronic conditions when diagnosed after enrollment. Plus, this plan lets you enjoy coverage for life- regardless of your age or health.

Gary and Mary West's graded-stakes winning colt American Freedom has been retired from racing and will begin his stud career at Brereton and Elizabeth Jones's Airdrie Stud for the 2018 breeding season. A $500,000 September yearling purchase from the last crop of the influential sire Pulpit, the Bob Baffert trained American Freedom emerged as one of the top 3-year-olds in training in 2016 with runner-up finishes in both the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational and the Grade 1 Travers Stakes as well as dominant wins in the Grade III Iowa Derby and Sir Barton Stakes on the Preakness undercard. He retires with earnings in excess of $700,000.
Bred in Kentucky by Centaur Farms Inc. and consigned by Greenfield Farm, American Freedom was purchased by the Wests from the 2014 Keeneland September Sale. His $500,000 auction price represented the second highest yearling figure of all Pulpit yearlings of that year. Entering his Santa Anita debut with an already growing reputation, American Freedom registered a 98 Beyer Speed Figure with an impressive 7 furlong maiden score in 1:22 flat. In his third career start, American Freedom shipped east to take Pimlico's Sir Barton Stakes on the Preakness undercard before returning with an effortless 4 ¾ length victory in the Grade III $250,000 Iowa Derby. He concluded his sophomore season with back to back runner-up efforts in the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational and Grade 1 Travers Stakes, defeating fellow 3-year-old standouts Gun Runner (twice), Nyquist, Exaggerator and Connect.
"American Freedom is as good-looking as any stallion we've put in our stallion barn. He's absolutely, drop dead beautiful" said Airdrie's Brereton Jones. "On top of that, he showed he belonged in any conversation of last season's best three-year-olds by defeating the winners of the Derby, Preakness and Belmont and beating the great Gun Runner both times they met. Both Airdrie and the West family have committed to breed no less than 20 mares apiece to him in each of his first three years at stud because this horse deserves every opportunity to be special. We're betting big on American Freedom and we really believe we're on a winner."
American Freedom will stand the 2018 breeding season for a stands and nurse stud fee of $10,000.

Jay Z is ready to release his new album! Sunday night, Sprint released a teaser for the rapper's next project, 4:44, containing a fragment from a new song titled "Adnis."
The footage starts with Mahershala Ali as a boxer and Danny Glover as a trainer as we can hear the 47-year-old star rapping 'Letter to my dad that I never wrote / Speeches I prepared that I never spoke / Words on a paper that I never read / Proses never penned / They stayed in my head.' Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o is also expected to start on 4:44!
The project marks its debut on June 30 via Sprint and TIDAL and is widely supposed to be a visual album, rated NC-17. Looking forward to check it out!
After his wife Beyonce has made him the proud dad of long awaited twins, Jay Z is set to, again, become 'the father' of rap music with this new material.
His last studio album, Magna Carta…Holy Grail, was released on July 10, 2013 and also had a gig with a telecommunications service giant – with Samsung subscribers early access to the album on July 8, four days before the general public.
On Sunday, Marcelo Claure, Sprint's president and CEO, looked very content and said that the rapper represents a global icon and the company is giving its customers an incredible opportunity to be among the first to experience Jay Z's new album.
Claure added that existing Sprint customers and people who switch to their service will also receive access to a complimentary six-month trial of TIDAL HiFi, besides having exclusiveness in listening to 4:44 before everyone else.
To increase the publicity, billboards with the message "4:44" started appearing in New York City. But a singer, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the first rapper to achieve the honor, doesn't not even need any more publicity to sell the album!

England v Sweden betting tips – it could be cagey in Samara
England clash with Sweden on Saturday and we're expecting a low-scoring encounter
It's not been easy watching England at this World Cup, although the Three Lions are still standing and there are just eight teams left in the competition.
Gareth Southgate's team now clash with Sweden for a place in the semi-finals, with the bookmakers having them as strong favourites although that was the case against Colombia and we know what happened there.
It's clear that England have issues when it comes to creating scoring chances from open play, with Harry Kane's goals largely coming from set plays and the team are probably short of a creator.
Sweden will be confident of nullifying their opponents just as they have done against Mexico, Switzerland and South Korea, while they should have got something from the clash against Germany.
Emil Forsberg is the man who makes the Scandinavian side tick, with Ola Toivonen and Marcus Berg looking to take chances as the attacking players, while Victor Lindelof and Andreas Granqvist make a solid central defensive pairing.
The Swedes will be happy to prey on England nerves and try and and sneak a winner as they did with their deflected effort against Switzerland.
Is football coming home? The jury are out but we might see extra-time on Saturday.

Three years ago today, Rebecca and I were at NASA's Kennedy Space Center for the first launch of NASA's Orion Spacecraft. It was, to put it lightly, an incredible experience. I'd returned to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and joined NASA's Space Launch System two years earlier that week, but I'd been following Orion for far longer than that, so it was overwhelming finally seeing it fly.
Sunday marked five years that I've been part of the SLS program, and they've been the most incredible of my career. I'm incredibly blessed to be here – I was talking to a friend, recently, about how, when I was in early high school, this is basically where I'd dreamed of being, that I'd abandoned that dream before college, but had somehow halfway-accidentally ended up where I'd wanted to be in the beginning. The irony is, if I'd stuck with my initial dream, there's a good chance I would have ended up somewhere else.
All that to say, I've watched the SLS team pour themselves into this work, and we're now seeing it pay off in a very real and very big way as the rocket takes shape. It is phenomenal to see the things they've already built, and to watch those massive pieces come together. But the real payoff – I was about to say the real payoff will be finally seeing in launch in two years, but, while that will be incredible, it's not really true. The real payoff will be seeing what is accomplished when this rocket starts flying, and seeing a generation inspired as humanity reaches farther than ever before.

When I get to give talks about NASA's Journey to Mars, I walk through most of the voyage with sexy, inspiring artist's renditions — a shiny Orion beyond the moon on its next launch, a habitat module keeping astronauts alive for long durations in deep space, an astronauts standing on the surface of Phobos with rusty Mars looming in the sky overhead.
But when I get to the end of the journey, I ditch the artist concepts, and instead of showing an astronaut on Mars, I show this photograph instead.
The Curiosity rover landed on Mars four years ago today, and this is what Times Square looked like when it happened.
In the middle of the night, people packed the place to watch a robot land on another planet.
Why? Because this is who we are. Because as a people, we have our differences and our struggles and our frustrations, but as a people, we yearn to be better. We yearn to be more than what we are. We yearn to reach farther.
And when we do, we as a people celebrate that part of ourselves.
Instead of showing a picture of an astronaut on Mars, I show this picture of Times Square. I tell the audience what it is, what it captures.
I challenge them to picture what Times Square will look like the day that, instead of watching a robot, we're watching a human land on Mars.
I use this picture because, as much as I'm excited about what we'll find when we get to Mars, I believe that what will happen on Mars that day is less important than what will happen in Times Square that day. What that day will mean for us as a people. What we will celebrate.
My favorite, though, is giving the talk to teenagers today. I talk about everything that has to happen over the next 20 or so years to prepare for that moment. I remind them that when that day comes, they'll be the same age Neil Armstrong was when he took the first step on the moon. That they today are exactly the right age to be the one to take that first step on Mars.
I show them that picture of Times Square, and challenge them to think about what it will look like when its a human instead of a robot. If that many people came out to see a rover, when it's a human being taking our first step on another planet, I tell them, everyone will be there.
"Everyone," I say, "except you."
"Because where will you be?"
After all, somebody's got to take that step.

I read this story about NASA's new HoloLens collaboration with Microsoft to create a virtual Mars environment in the news a while back, and thought it sounded pretty cool.
Last week, I got to put the headset on myself at JPL, and can confirm that it is, indeed, very cool. One of my NASA Headquarters team members and I got to walk "together" on virtual Mars, standing by Curiosity and surveying the Martian landscape. Another team member who was there (physically but not virtually) laughed at me for the fact that I was, in real life, walking around the rover, which wasn't, technically, there, but the experience was so immersive that I just didn't think about the fact that I could walk through it.
It was kind of surreal that I was getting to experience it just days after first reading about it, but this could very well be a technology that we'll all be using before too long. Amazing.

Per Space.com:
NASA is considering using the International Space Station to practice for a trip to Mars, officials said …
"Clearly, in order to be able to explore beyond low-Earth orbit, we're going to have to stay in orbit for longer than six months," space station program manager Mike Suffredini said during a news conference today.
Suffredini said NASA is exploring the possibility of setting up a mock journey to Mars aboard the space station, where astronauts would stay for longer than the usual six months, and would be subject to other conditions that such a trip would impose. …
"It won't be in the near future," he said. "It's probably not reasonable to expect us to be able to do this sooner than two or three years from now."
First, let me say, I'm for it.
NASA's lead up to the Apollo program was a perfect example of space exploration done right — test it at home, then do it for real. In order to successfully put footprints in the lunar regolith, certain capabilities were going to have to be developed and demonstrated, including increased spaceflight duration, rendezvous and docking, and extravehicular activities.
The moon is about four days from Earth. Low Earth orbit, on the other hand, is minutes from the surface. So rather than doing all of these for the first time when we went to the moon, all of them were first tested in Earth orbit, where, if something went wrong, home was just a stone's throw away.
About four years ago, a toilet on the International Space Station failed. NASA took a lot of ribbing for it in the press, but I said then, and maintain now, that if the only thing that happened on the International Space Station was its toilet failing, it would still be worth doing.
Mars is about six months away. And that's just one way. A mission there would involve a trip of six months out, six months back, plus whatever time is spent on the surface, which arguably should be long enough to justify the travel time.
Someday, humanity will go there. If I were an astronaut, and the toilet for that mission were going to fail, I would sure rather it be during an Earth-orbit test of the equipment than on the way out to Mars, leaving the crew without a toilet for months. Every single system and procedure needed to go to Mars should be tested in Earth orbit, broken, fixed and tested again, so astronauts heading to the Red Planet will know everything that can go wrong, and what to do when it does.
Right now, we have a spacecraft in Earth orbit that is capable of supporting tests the duration of a Mars mission. (I will note, however, that I don't believe that should be step one — I think it would be much more responsible to first double the current seven-month record of ISS increments, and then move up from there.)
While the details are uncertain and constantly in flux, for the last eight years, the goal of American human spaceflight has been exploration.
It's high time we can began fully utilizing the assets we have to support that goal.

From a Plinky prompt — "If you were offered a free trip to the moon, would you go? Why or why not?"
One-way, or round trip? That might make a difference. Maybe.
My answer to this pretty much always would have been "yes" — the novelty of being one of the only people to have been there, the excitement of exploring somewhere new and unlike anywhere I've ever been, the awe of seeing first-hand the terrible beauty of the "magnificent desolation," the experience of actually BEING THERE.
And all of that was without any actual experience. If you've never really felt the one-sixth gravity of the surface of the moon, trust me, it'd be worth the trip.
I had the opportunity to go on a Zero-G reduced gravity flight a while back. The plane goes up into a huge arc, and then back down, and then back UP and then back DOWN. Inside the plane, you don't really feel the up and down. What you do feel is that, as you go over the hill, for about half a minute, gravity goes away. It's a rather interesting experience.
On my flight, we got about 15 weightless parabolas, spent floating in mid-air. Rather fun, to be honest. We also got two arcs at one-third G, the gravity that you would experience if you were walking on Mars.
And, because the Mythbusters were on our flight filming a segment debunking the conspiracy theory that the moon landings were faked, we got extra parabolas at lunar one-sixth G.
Space exploration is kind of my forte. I've studied what it's like to experience weightlessness, lunar gravity, etc. I've talked to people who have experienced both. I was surprised at what a surprise one-sixth G was.
In orbit, you're weightless. Weightlessness was interesting, but not surprising. I didn't know exactly what to expect, but upon experiencing it, I had somewhat of a "well, that makes sense" reaction. On Earth, there's gravity. On the moon, there's gravity. So the moon should be more like Earth than space, right? I expected something like everyday walking around, but different. It wasn't what I was expecting at all.
One-sixth G was like being weightless without being untethered from the surface. You could jump high enough that you basically experienced freefall coming back down, but you did always come back down. It was amazing. It was freeing. And, yeah, I would definitely make the trip to experience it for more than half a minute at a time.

Yariman aka Alex is a pro-ana, 16 year old boy, weeaboo from London, England who thinks he (or maybe she?) is ganguro. Anyone who laughs is "OMFG!11!1! JUST JEAOULUZZ!!" He dislikes "wannabees", spiders, and fat people. He takes pride in his noble profession and calls himself "adWHOREable". His occupation listed on his websites are "umm just general whore"! and just "SLUT" on MySpace where he also posts childporn pictures of himself. He has been know to let his boss fuck him in the ass for a pay raise, for several hours. His ass lips must flap in the wind more than goatse.
One day Yariman decided to spread his/hers/its venereal disease through the internets. After viewing some videos on YouTube about people making fun of ganguro, he couldn't live without that kind of punishment and started cross dressing as one.
Thanks to this article Yari-cunt now thinks he is a celeb like Pariz Hiltonzzz!
A Day In The Life
- 9.00 am - i just woke up and realized that according to my new diet i hadn't slept long enough to counteract the 200 calories i ate yesterday. i screamed at an extremely high pitch for approximately 15 minutes before starting my breakfast.
- 9.30 am - i ate a leaf of lettuce and after considering throwing it up again, i decided that it would be too disgusting so i started a vigorous exercise regime instead.
- 10.30 am - i am exhausted, after filing my nails and waxing my legs and dying my hair and painting my face and trying on 15 outfits i felt i had burned off enough calories to go out. i was wearing a belt and some stilettos and 2kg of makeup. As I opened the door, my mom got scared, and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."
- 11.30 am - I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo homes to Bel-Air!"
- 1.00 pm - i had some water but treated myself to a slice of lemon in it. i saw this really sexy guy who was gay but he wouldn't believe i was a guy until i showed him my cock. we were about to get on with it when my friend arrived and dragged me off to go shopping which was totally skeezy.
- 4.00 pm - i bought these skeezy false eyelashes which were pink and about 70cm long. i put them on but they weighed more than my whole body and i fell over.
- 5.30 pm - i managed to get home and only got lost for about half an hour when i saw this hobo masturbating on the bus which made me forget to get off at my stop.
- 7.30 pm - i watched mean girls and knew all the words and danced along. i then went out to this skeezy club and danced on some hot guys on the stage unfortunately i fell off the stage because of my stilettos.
- 11.30 pm - i got back and ate an asparagus before taking off my makeup (with a spade).
- 12.30 am - i went to bed and couldn't sleep so i counted ganguro girls...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, umm...

One of the most challenging tasks for any manager is how to handle employee underperformance. This could be a general team issue where the whole group seems to be demotivated and underperforming. More likely, however, the issue will relate to one or maybe two particular individuals.
Difficult Conversations at Work
Most managers would prefer not to have to sit down and have what can potentially be a difficult and even emotional conversation. In this vein, the usual starting point is to try and rationalise the individual's behaviour, and work out why they are underperforming.

Meet "P." He uses cannabis to help control a chronic pain condition. P started out as a recreational user, going from "picking up dime bags in front of the Eaton Centre" in the 1990s to being a "dabbing dad with a full-time job as a TDSB teacher."
When dispensaries began opening across Toronto, he checked them out. "The ability to see the bud was really good, in terms of being able to see a wide variety of flower," he says.
Increased police attention to Toronto's dispensaries since last May's city-wide raids has left P feeling less confident about purchasing his cannabis at storefront locations.
"I don't want to go to the dispensaries right now because of all the [uncertainty]," he says. He fears that buying marijuana from a storefront comes with a high degree of exposure. "When you're possessing cannabis outside your home, you could conceivably have someone rob you or a police officer accost you."
Arrests of dispensary owners have continued, with search warrants executed at more than half a dozen marijuana dispensaries in the last month alone. Many are wondering where to get their supply, and P has switched to online purchasing.
In fact, a number of Toronto dispensaries closed by the raids continue to operate online, a mode ignored by law enforcement so far.
BC Cannamed moved its entire operation online following its decision to close two Toronto locations just before the police raids; its online delivery system was operational by June 20.
WeLeaf and Escarpment Wellness have also begun offering online delivery in recent months, mailing cannabis across the GTA and the country.
NOW spoke with one dispensary owner who moved online after initial warnings from Toronto police and has since seen an increase in business.
The police raids "definitely helped online sales for everyone," he says.
Even though he'd already closed his dispensary, police smashed his storefront window and broke down a door, only to find a vacant office. Given his online success, though, he's happy he invested in the storefront, albeit briefly: "It was great for advertising."
Going online affords him a sense of security, he says. "I don't know if [Toronto police are] too interested in it, to be honest," he says, "maybe because it's not exactly in the public eye. The storefronts don't require much investigation [to bust], whereas the online ones do."
Online dispensaries do feel they're safe from law enforcement. "Although these establishments are not yet considered legal," say the owners of PotCargo.com, "the Canadian government has decided to let them operate in peace."
BudBuddy.biz, one of Canada's first online dispensaries, assures its customers that while there is an inherent risk, "so far, Canadian police have had higher priorities than going after us."
Online dispensaries also seem to have the implicit blessing of the postal service. Many offer express shipping, and their entire business relies on Canada Post.
Mail-order pot isn't new in Canada. For years websites have offered marijuana by mail, but today's online dispensaries are miles ahead of predecessors that would only accept cash sent by snail mail.
Websites like Treemo.ca and PotCargo.com have a sleek design complete with direct online purchasing, customer service departments and membership options. They hold themselves to a higher standard than that of the common dealer. Many require age verification (including an uploaded copy of your government-issued ID) and varying levels of medical documentation, ranging from a full Marihuana For Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) prescription to simple prescription as proof of an ailment.
For police, enforcing the law in the case of online providers can be difficult. While it's easy to identify bricks-and-mortar dispensaries, those operating online often take measures to avoid detection and protect their customers.
"There is nothing written on the outside of the envelope that would advertise that you are taking medical marijuana," reads the website for Weeds Glass and Gifts, a Vancouver-based dispensary chain that was one of the first to expand into Toronto last fall. "So no nosey neighbours would think it's anything other than a regular package from the post office."
Even if a package is seized, it's sometimes hard for police to trace it to a source. Maryjane Mail, one of the first online marijuana providers in Canada, explains on its website: "We use various fake return addresses, and our packages blend in with all the other mail," a tactic that's proven successful. "We have been operating for a few years," it says, "and have never once had a client get arrested or any police problems."
In August 2015, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, in response to growing awareness of the use of the postal service to ship contraband (including marijuana), passed a resolution calling for increased power to seize and search in-transit mail.
"Contraband being moved through the mail system may not be acted upon by police until it is successfully delivered," they wrote. "This forces law enforcement to find alternative ways to work within or around the Canada Post system and legislative framework in order to apprehend criminals who use the postal system as a way to move various forms of contraband." No legislative changes have been made, though, so online dispensaries are still able to use the post relatively freely.
The shift online has been popular with customers, too.
P says online sources offer a number of advantages over their storefront counterparts, including the ease of ordering from the safety of home.
Another plus is anonymity. Even unlicensed dispensaries collect and store a lot of personal and medical information about their customers in databases.
"It's hard going into these dispensaries and having this invasion over and over again," says P. "Especially when you have this feeling that the dispensary itself might get raided."
P is cynical about the crackdown and suggests that the country's licensed producers are the intended beneficiaries. But despite efforts to funnel control of the market to government-authorized producers, the unregulated marijuana market continues to expand.

How concerned should we be about the instability in the Middle East? How involved should we be in the civil war between the two religious sects of Islam? Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire Islam has progressed along a sectarian divide of Sunni and Shea Muslims. The former receiving the majority of adherents globally and producing the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden, whereas the later is predominantly in Iraq, Iran, Hezbollah, and the leadership of Syria. Is it right for the world or this country in particular to judge which group is more humane? Is it possible to determine which sect fits better into the social-economic fabric of the New World Order? Can one person essentially stand alone amongst the Western powers and make this choice for the rest of humanity? Yet, it appears that we have such a person in Barack Obama willing to pledge the resources of this county to a so called protracted war. Is it possible to judge between two groups where one side supposedly used chemical weapons upon the defenseless and the opposing group burns churches, beheads their opponents, and eats their inner organs? What is the objective of this intelligent person? Can he say that one group would be more tolerant toward Christianity than the other? No, I am afraid that he is not really concerned about Christianity but is more concerned about building his New World Order with the Muslim who can best contribute financially. I will never forget the image of our President bowing to the Sunni Prince of Saudi Arabia. Clearly the choice has been made while most Americans have slept. Continue reading Obama's Choice

The Great Deception – Part I
This will be a series of articles to help Christians to think globally. To do so will immediately recognize that there are powerful forces at work reshaping our world into a secular utopia galvanizing all nations to accept its destiny. The world population is spoon fed bits and pieces of world events by a media that keeps them blind to a larger truth. Although facts are reported, some correctly, the big picture is never realized even by their best commentators. Prophets, seers, and religious academia have also offered their interpretation of world events either drawn in part, often times out of context, from their holy books or simply from their own imagination. The civilization is deeply confused clutching to an emotional rollercoaster as its being jolted about by every crisis or dilemma facing the world. To think globally we must start by looking up and stop being captivated by each individual event. Clearly the media reports many stories but loses its focus quickly when a larger story comes along. We must move away from the tunnel vision practiced by the media and start to associate ourselves with all of history, with events in every country, with the ebb and flow of humanity and then put that all into context with God's Word. We must learn how to think globally. Continue reading The Great Deception – Part I

Many people are getting frustrated with Simcity 4 when attempting to build large residential, commercial service, and commercial office buildings. Its obvious in the many forums I visit...
But here's a pointer: Stage Caps, a new concept in SC4 that attempts to make the simulator more realistic, will not allow medium and high density buildings of a certain zone and wealth type to be built until a certain population of that zone is reached. Phew! Thats a mouthful!
In other words, until your residential or commercial office population (of a certain wealth class) reaches 1,114; you will see no medium density developments. Likewise, you will need to achieve a population of 25,952 before any high density buildings are constructed.
Commercial service developers will first build medium density buildings at a commercial service population (of, once again, a certain wealth level)of 1,114 jobs, and high density buildings will be constructed at a commercial service job population of 15,356.
Industry (of a certain developer type) will build high density buildings at a job population of 2,447. All of these figures are out of the official strategy guide, and the entire regional population (for the specific developer type) applies to these stage caps.
Also, one bit of clarification, if you want to see high-density high-wealth residential developments, you will need a high-wealth residential population (not a global residential population) of 25,952 sims. Hope this helps!

Topshop faux fur coat / Topshop Boutique dress / Asos turban / American Apparel slouch clutch bag / Suede Nike Air Force 1's with gum sole from size?.
This faux fur coat is one of my most recent additions to my coat collection which seems to have grown a ridiculous amount over the past few months. But it has to be my favourite coat so far, for a mere £45 in the Topshop sale, I couldn't think of a reason not to get it. I wear it near enough everyday – with a dress, jeans, dungarees, trainers, boots or heels, and for almost any occasion. I say almost as I did have a near red wine related incident, but I won't go into that now.
The dress I am wearing is the 'Pleat Funnel Dress' by Boutique at Topshop. The funnel neckline, which often fades in and out of fashion, was huge trend for the winter period. Yet this dress puts a slightly different twist on it by incorporating a trend set to take us into SS16, the 'mini pleat'! I can't wait to see this trend styled throughout the next few months after seeing it pop up in high street stores recently. Think boxy and androgynous cut dresses and tops, plus awkward length trousers and minimalistic colour palettes – what a dream.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It started off innocently enough with the 5 kilometer walk from our home and along the river to the old town. In fact, it was downright warm today (57 or so Fahrenheit, roughly 14 Celsius), and as we walked along the river coats were shed despite the fact that I only had a short sleeve shirt underneath ... I spent a couple winters in Nebraska and a few winter months in Minnesota, so this was relatively summer-like.
It was a rather calm walk most of the way, and when we arrived I understood why ... namely that everyone who would ordinarily be along the river had found their way to the market. This picture really doesn't give a good idea of the crowds. At several points you found yourself sort of moving along, shoulder to shoulder with others, as part of the wave ... that is, when it was moving.
We went to the markt, and the reason we walked to it, was to have what the Partnerin calls the Best Wurst of the Markt. I made the mistake of going with the Bratwurst, which didn't seem to have much taste. The partnerin went with the Rindswurst and was not disappointed. Here you see it all cooking over the open flames. I love these grills. I want one for the back yard. Men and fires ... what can I say? It was also a good day to get one of large Baked Potatoes (not pictured here), smothered with garlic-quark (which is like sour cream with garlic).
Also not pictured here was the Backfischbrotchen (baked fish on bread) that the Partnerin allegedly went off to seek. She is a northern german girl, so she likes her fish from time to time, although it did seem like it would be a lot on top of the Rindswurst. She came back, instead, with fried dough-balls, which have something of the consistency of a doughnut and are covered with powdered surgar. Here is the last of them, which I helped her polish off. This is why I need to walk 10km or so.
And what day would be complete without the Partnerin looking at shiny things. Normally she can't get past a jewelers window, but today, mercifully it was only Christmas ornaments. She doesn't know it yet (but she will when she reads this) that somewhere today she gave me a great idea for a small Nikolausy gift for Tuesday evening.
And then we had a gluhwein and I felt immediately like napping. But it was another 5 km to home, so off we went. All in all a nice afternoon.

Most of the world's business entities begin within families. An astounding two-thirds of organizations are made up of family businesses and almost every type of economy has some form of family owned and operated business.
Nothing can replace the bond that forms between family members and their businesses. That is why so many of these types of firms survive the long haul. And something they have in common is longevity. Read More

Is Miraculous Keto Truly A Miracle?
Everyone is always searching for the next big thing in weight loss. Something to make you lose weight faster and easier. And, many people want that to be something easy. For example, most people dream of taking a weight loss pill that does the work for them. Well, there aren't any that we know of. But, Miraculoux Keto Pills do claim to make the weight loss process easier. And, they claim to do that by forcing your body to burn fat for fuel. So, can this formula actually help you start converting fat into energy? And, will it truly make slimming down easier? Keep reading or click below to see if it made the #1 keto diet pill spot NOW!
Miraculoux Keto Diet Pills claim to make your body burn pure fat for energy. Usually, your body burns carbs for energy. But, in ketosis, a natural process your body goes into once it runs out of carbs, you burn pure body fat. In general, the best way to get into ketosis is through the keto diet, AKA, giving up carbs. But, this formula claims to help you get into ketosis and maintain it easier than you could on the diet. So, is it true? Will this formula really turn your love handles into energy? Well, good question. Below, we talk about if the Miraculoux Keto Price is worth it. But, you can save time (and probably money) by clicking below to see if it made the #1 spot right now!
What Is Miraculoux Keto Advanced Weight Loss?
Losing weight is hard, there's no doubt about it. And, it often feels like it's super easy to pack on pounds, but 10x as difficult to get rid of them. If that feels like your experience, it might be time to try something new. Is Miraculoux Keto Weight Loss Formula the supplement you've been waiting for? Well, it certainly claims to be. Because, it basically claims to turn all your fat stores into natural energy.
Now, your body only turns fat stores into energy when its in ketosis. And, you usually have to follow the strict though incredibly popular keto diet to trigger ketosis. In other words, the keto diet can help you burn fat faster through ketosis. But, do Miraculoux Ketones do the same thing?
And, can this formula actually help you get into ketosis faster and stay there longer? Well, that's what it claims to do. And, we know the longer you stay in ketosis, the more fat you can burn. So, let's find out if Miraculoux Keto Pills truly work that way.
Miraculoux Keto Diet Pills Review:
- Online Only Offer – Not In Any Stores
- Comes With 60 Capsules Per Bottle
- Claims To Contain Only Natural Ingredients
- Says It Uses Pure BHB Ketones In The Formula
- Also Says It Uses 800mg Of Ketones In It
- Marketed As A Natural Fat Burning Supplement
- Click Any Image On This Page To See If It's The #1!
Does Miraculoux Keto Weight Loss Work?
It's easy to see the Miraculoux Keto Supplement Website and think, "YES, this is the pill for me." And, if you feel that confident about it, go ahead and try it. The thing is, we don't know if this formula will work for you. Basically, it's claiming to push your body into ketosis to make it burn through your fat stores. And, as much as that sounds fantastic for anyone wanting to lose weight, there's no proof it can truly do this.
Below, we discuss the ingredients that this formula claims to use to burn fat. And, you can decide for yourself if it's something you want to try. But, as with any supplement, there's no way to know if Miraculoux Keto Pills will truly be a miracle in a bottle for you unless you try them out. But, if you're going to try a keto diet pill, why not make it the #1? Click any image to check out that formula NOW!
Miraculoux Keto Ingredients
The Miraculoux Keto Formula claims to use pure BHB Ketones. Now, this is probably the most popular natural ingredient for keto diet pills on the market. BHB Ketones are similar to exogenous ketones. And, these are the ketones that trigger fat burning in your body in the first place. One study even suggests they're responsible for your metabolism and energy levels. So, again, this seems super appealing.
Then, this formula also claims to use 800mg of BHB Ketones. And, that sounds pretty high, especially compared to other formulas on the market. But, again, there's no way to know if Miraculoux Keto works unless you try it for yourself. But, if you're truly going to give a keto diet pill a try, why wouldn't you go with the #1 formula? Click any image to check out the #1 keto diet pill in your life today!
Miraculoux Keto Side Effects
Now, onto possible side effects of Miraculoux Keto Diet Pills. The thing is, again, it's hard to tell if there will be any side effects if you take this formula. Because, it largely comes down to you and your body. Basically, it's up to you to take care of your body and make sure a formula agrees with it. And, since supplements like Miraculoux Keto Pills don't get studied often, we don't know if it causes side effects in people or not.
If this sounds like a lot of unknowns for you, that's because there are always a lot of unknowns when it comes to supplements. Even your average Vitamin D supplement in the drugstore has unknowns. And, research is still even out on supplements like that. So, if you want to try this formula, visit their website. But, we still think the #1 is a better deal that the Miraculoux Keto Price, so check it out now!
How To Order Miraculoux Ketos Advanced Weight Loss
Again, if you want to get your hands on this formula, simply visit the Official Miraculoux Keto Website. There, you can read about the product in the company's own words. And, you can see for yourself if it's truly something you want to invest money in. Again, we don't know if it'll work for you. But, we do know that if you click any image on this page, you can view our #1 favorite keto diet pill. And, if you're going to try keto, why wouldn't you start at the top with the #1 pill?

Mobile • Online Marketplace
ThredUP Personal Shops
Concept Development, User Research, Product Design
Only a very small percentage of users onboarded to the feature (not allowed to disclose figures), yet its users have the highest average order values.
- Led a strategic redesign by analyzing data and conducting interviews that led to key findings influencing user flows and KPIs set.
- Worked closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and Marketing in the process of developing specs and receiving feedback
- Created prototypes in FramerJS and facilitated user testing sessions that influenced rollout to another platform.
Defining the Product Strategy
Identifying Existing Successful Trends
I first pulled current data on users with Personal Shops to find the top used search filters and looked at which platforms (web, mobile/web, iOS, and Android) were the most popular and had the highest average order values.
An In-Depth Understanding of Users
I surveyed users with over 10 Personal Shops to understand their behaviors for saving so many shops in the first place. I followed up with 7 users who consented to following up with me for a more in-depth discussion about their use of thredUP and other shopping apps.
Based on my phone interviews with the users, I created a mental model to understand the user's train of thought.
Mental Model
- Can I quickly find relevant items?
- How can I find great deals that caters to my family's lifestyle?
- How can I easily shop my favorite brands?
- Will these items fit me?
- Will it save me search time?
- How can we get coveted items first?
Style ProfileWe also further refined the idea of creating a Style Profile for every account in order to set Sizes and top 10 brands, based on the findings of a high percentage of users caring about their the brands they purchase and wanting to discover more items to similar brands.
Validating IdeasThe aim of the first iteration (prototyped in FramerJS) was to validate and answer:
Refining the DesignSince I had limited time to conduct another user test, I tested this prototype internally with select employees from Product, Engineering, Design, and Marketing to gather feedback from multiple points of view. I updated my FramerJS prototype based on findings from usability testing for version 1.0.
- It was tempting to include many new features for the redesign of Personal Shops, but I learned to prioritize features and make tradeoffs given the scope of the project. This simplification allowed for a more simplified design that was easy on the eyes.
- I discovered the technical limitations for mobile after speaking with the Engineering team, so I had to quickly find an alternative solution for web.
- Involve other stakeholders earlier in the process to learn about potential contraints.
- Simplicity and elegance rules. Think about information hierarchy when considering the visual. Only emphasize what needs to be emphasized.

You want to know what we called them 'Preachers'? Because they came to judge.
It started with Todd McDonnel. He was a known figure around town. The exact sort of thing you expect from a tiny village in northeast Alabama. He was the sort of guy who showed up in the news and embarrassed the rest of us. Todd was class of '85, and he hadn't done shit with his life since he tore his knee up playing football his senior year. He liked to talk shit and start fights he couldn't win. On a good night, he was only drinking and driving. On a bad night, the cops would be called out to his trailer on Flannigan Street, but it didn't do much good. You see, Summer Springs was too small to have it's own cops. We don't have much but a post office and a volunteer fire department. Since the cops had to dispatch from the county seat 20 miles away, whatever was being called about would be long gone by the time they arrived.
Just more drama for the townies to discuss at the general store.
That night was different. The story goes like this: ol' Todd was driving down highway 24 around 8 o'clock at night, when the stubborn summer sun is finally thinking about setting. As he drove along that lazy, winding road, he saw something strange on the left side. He later said that his eyes were drawn to it, like God told him to look there. But I say that's nonsense. If God was going to talk to that man, it would have been about the way he treated his wife, or how he spent his adult life crying for the shallow glory days of high school sports. It was like some part of that man died without the uniform, but I never had any pity for it. He'd have had to hang it up in by season's end anyhow.
But Todd, he needed a prop to use as his identity. He needed some kind of prestige. And that day, he went from being 'worst mugshot of Gallegina County" to "the first man to see an Appalachian Preacher".
He couldn't describe it too well. Said it was tall and stood like a hunched over man, and it looked half-starved. It had the head of a goat, he said, or maybe a deer. Red eyes. But what he remembered best were the long, boney fingers. No skin on them, just long, curled fingers with hooked claws. It pointed as he drove by.
He about crashed, but managed to swerve his shitty Ford back onto the highway. Next day, he was raving about it to anyone who would listen to him at the general store. That's where folks went to meet and mingle, you know. That or the church. And you better bet he was at church next Sunday, telling the whole county about the demon he'd seen on highway 24.
That might have been enough to make a small town legend. Nobody else even had to see it, we just all had to hear. And people would repeat, and embellish, and change little things here and there, till we had our own bonafide mountain monster. We could put up a sign and everything. Problem is, it didn't end there.
Two weeks later, Todd came home from work to find his trailer empty. Everything, gone. He thought he'd been robbed at first, but inside, he found a letter from his wife. I don't know firsthand, but I was told that she didn't say much. Just a "Fuck you, asshole," and a promise that he would hear from an attorney.
The community came together for Todd, at least on the surface. People call it "southern hospitality", but I heard the way people kept talking about him, even after he claimed he'd rediscovered his faith in Jesus and started going on about demons. There were bake sales and church fundraisers and all that good stuff, and the speakers and organizers went on about the tragic story of this once-promising high school athlete, a well known and well-loved figure in the community, but we all still knew the truth.
And you know what I think is true? None of those people gave a damn about Todd McDonnel. Sure, they raised some money, but that's because it's what people expected them to do. They raised enough for him to replace his furniture and turn his lights back on. But as soon as the excitement wore down, they forgot all about him. Just as well, I suppose. He was an asshole before, and the same asshole after.
What bothered me was the attitude. People gave $2 here and $10 there because it was expected. They listened to his story about the demon because it was interesting. But they talked the same sour, hateful way as before, all while smiling. I was young at the time, only thirteen. But I quickly realized that they'd treat almost anyone this way. They hungered for it.
That was when I realized something was very wrong with Summer Springs.

LEASES; SECURITY DEPOSITS — Under New Jersey's Security Deposit Act, any party in the chain of title who fails to meet the statutory requirements for turning over a tenant's security deposit to successors in interest is jointly and severally liable to the tenant for the return of that deposit.
A security deposit was posted in connection with a lease. Then, the landlord sold the property, and that buyer later resold it. The intermediate buyer did not receive the security deposit. In turn, the intermediate buyer did not turn the security deposit over during the subsequent sale. At a bench trial, the Court ruled that the intermediate buyer was severally liable for return of the security and entered judgment in favor of the tenant, including for double damages as required by statute.
On a motion for reconsideration, the intermediate buyer argued that the relevant statutes could only be interpreted to make the current landowner solely responsible for the return of security. The Court reviewed the legislative history and determined that the legislature did not intend to relieve an intervening grantee from liability when it fails to obtain the security of a tenant that had been paid to the prior owner. Rather, the legislative intent was to impose joint and several responsibility, giving the tenant the option to seek relief not only from the owner of record at the time of leaving the apartment, but also any other parties in the chain of title who failed to meet their statutory responsibilities under New Jersey's Security Deposit Act. An owner is relieved from liability in a chain of ownership only when it turns the security deposit over to its successor in interest.
