To George Washington from Timothy Pickering, 6 January 1797
Department of State January 6. 1797
To the President of the United States, The Secretary of State respectfully makes the following brief representation of the affairs of the United States in relation to Algiers.
When Colonel Humphreys left America in April 1795, he was accompanied by Joseph Donaldson Esqr. who had been appointed Consul for Tunis and Tripoli; and him Colo. Humphreys was authorized to employ in negociating a treaty with Algiers; while he should proceed himself to France, for the purpose of obtaining the cooperation of that government in this negociation.
They arrived at Gibralter the 17th of May. Colo. Humphreys concluded, that it was expedient for Mr Donaldson to go first to Alicante, rather than Algiers, in order to be near at hand to ascertain facts and profit of occasions. He gave him instructions accordingly; and having also instructed Mr Simpson, our Consul at Gibralter, to renew our peace with the Emperor of Morocco; Colo. Humphreys sailed from Gibralter the 24th of May and arrived at Havre de Grace the 26th of June, from whence he set off immediately for Paris. The object of his mission was communicated by our Minister, Colo. Monroe, to the Committee of Public Safety. On the 21st of July he had received only a verbal answer, that the French Government was disposed to interest itself and to do every thing in its power, to promote the accomplishment of our wishes on the subject in question. On the 28th assurances were received, that immediate measures should be taken for giving particular instructions to the Agents of the Republic to use its influence in cooperation with us. The multiplicity of affairs with which the officers of the government were occupied, and the getting from London a sum of money necessary to purchase the usual peace presents, prevented a conclusion of the arrangements at Paris until September. It had been judged expedient by Colo. Humphreys and Colo. Monroe, that Joel Barlow Esqr. should be employed in the negociations with the Barbary States; and his consent had been obtained. By the 11th of September all the writings on the part of Colo. Humphreys were prepared for Mr Barlow, to proceed with the instructions and powers from the Government of the French Republic to its agents in Barbary, in favor of our negociations.
Colo. Humphreys left Paris the 12th of September and reached Havre the 14th, where he found the master and mate of the United States' Brig Sophia, both sick with fevers. While waiting there impatiently for their recovery, he received intelligence from our Consul at Marseilles that Mr Donaldson had concluded a Treaty of peace with the Dey of Algiers. Nevertheless Colo. Humphreys thought it expedient, that Mr Barlow should proceed with the presents prepared and preparing at Paris; for if not needed at Algiers, they would be wanted in the negociations with Tunis and Tripoli.
About the 5th of October Colo. Humphreys sailed from Havre, and after a stormy passage of more than forty days, arrived at Lisbon the 17th of November. There he found Capt. OBrien, who had arrived about the 1st of October with the treaty with Algiers.
On the 3rd of September Mr Donaldson arrived at Algiers, and on the 5th the treaty was concluded, and the peace present immediately given, by a loan from M. Bacri, the Dey's broker. Mr Donaldson, knowing that funds had been lodged in London to answer his stipulations, engaged to make the payments in three or four months.
Colo. Humphreys had received advice, under date of the 30th of July, from the Messrs Barings in London, to whom the funds had been remitted, that having made progress in the sales of the United States' stock, they should hold at his disposal the whole of the value of 800,000 dollars, meaning to furnish by anticipation the value of that part, which remained unsold, if the service of the United States required it. Colo. Humphreys counting on the money as always ready after this period, sent Capt. OBrien from Lisbon to London in the Brig Sophia to receive it. Owing to contrary winds, she did not leave Lisbon till the 24th of December. The other details relative to the pecuniary transactions appear in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury.
The disappointments in the pecuniary negociations put the treaty in jeopardy. The Dey became impatient, and threatened to abandon it; and it was with extreme difficulty, that it was prevented. Mr Barlow did not arrive at Alicante until February 1796, where he proposed to wait the arrival of the funds: but after a little time his intelligence from Algiers showing, that our affairs were in a most critical situation, he determined to go thither immediately, with the hope of soothing the Dey. He arrived there the 5th of March. They had before prolonged the time to the 8th of April for the payment of the stipulated sums. On the 3rd of that month the Dey declared what should be his final determination, that in eight days Mr Barlow and Mr Donaldson should leave Algiers; and if in 30 days after the money was not paid, the treaty should be at an end, and his cruizers should bring in American vessels. Under these circumstances, and as the last hope of saving the treaty, they were induced to offer the present of a frigate. This fortunately succeeded. For the particulars of this transaction, the Secretary begs leave to refer the President to the enclosed letter from Messrs Barlow and Donaldson.
Colo. Humphreys not deeming himself authorized to confirm this promise of a frigate, refered the matter to the Executive of the United States: and for this end dispatched Captain OBrien in the brig Sophia to America. There was evidently no alternative; and the promise was confirmed. The frigate is now building in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and is expected to be finished in the spring. Capt. OBrien returned to Lisbon, where he arrived on the [ ] of July. Colo. Humphreys had advantageously negociated bills on London for 225,000 dollars. This sum was embarked on board the Sophia, and on the 4th of August Capt. OBrien set sail for Algiers. He has not since been heard of: and there is room to fear, that some misfortune has befallen him. The money was insured at a small premium against the dangers of the seas. Again[st] all risks they demanded so high a premium as Colo. Humphreys judged it inexpedient to give, seeing the Sophia was a vessel of the United States, having a special passport from the President, as well as a passport in the turkish language under the seal of the Dey of Algiers.
Such arrangements have been made by Mr Barlow and Mr Donaldson with the house of the Messrs Bacri at Algiers and Leghorn, as will doubtless ensure the payment of the 400,000 dollars, orginally expected from the latter place, and the same house have become engaged to the Dey and regency for the residue of the money, due as the price of peace, without which he would not agree to the redemption of the captives. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates these further sums to be provided, to fulfil the terms of the treaty——
|For two years annuities to the Dey
|To which are to be added the 10,000 sequins promised by Mr Barlow and Mr Donaldson to Mr Bacri mentioned in their letter
|And the expenses of the captives performing quarantine at Marseilles and transporting them to America, estimated by the Consul at Marseilles at about
On the 31st [ ]ult. I received a letter from Mr Barlow, dated the 12th of July, informing that the agent Mr Famin, at Tunis, who had been recommended to him by the French Consul Heculais, had concluded with the Dey of that Regency a truce for six months from 15th day of June last, and this without any presents.
Timothy Pickering,
Secy of State
DNA: RG 46—Records of the U.S. Senate.
Algiers 5. April 1796
After finishing our dispatches on the 3d instt to send by the Courier to Tangier we found that the port was to be opened immediately. We therefore gave up that mode of conveyance for a more direct and speedy one by way of Alicant. We have now what we hope will be more agreeable news to announce to you. For two days past we have been witnesses to a scene of as complete and poignant distress as can be imagined, arising from the State of total dispair in which our Captives found themselves involved, and we without the power of administering the least comfort or hope. The threat which we mentioned to you in our last, of sending us away, had been reiterated with every mark of a fixed and final decision. And the Dey went so far as to declare that after the thirty days, if the money did not come, he never would be at peace with the Americans.
Baccry the Jew, who has as much art in this sort of management as any man we ever knew, who has more influence with the Dey than all the Regency put together, and who alone has been able to soothe his impatience on this subject for three months past, now seemed unable to make the least impression. And the Dey finally forbade him, under pain of his highest displeasure, to speak to him any more about the Americans. His cruisers are now out, and for some days past he has been occupied with his new war against the Danes. Three days ago the Danish prizes began to come in, and it was thought that this circumstance might put him in good humour, so that the Jew might find a chance of renewing our subject in some shape or other. And we instructed the Jew, that if he could engage him in conversation on his cruisers and prizes; he might offer him a new Amercan built ship of 20 guns which should sail very fast, to be presented to his daughter, on condition that he would wait six months longer for our money. The Jew observed that we had better say a Ship of 24 guns, to which we agreed. After seeing him three or four times yesterday under pretences of other business, without being able to touch upon this, he went this morning and succeeded. The novelty of the proposition gained the Dey's attention for a moment, and he consented to see us on the subject. But he told the Jew to tell us that it must be a ship of 36 guns, or he would not listen to the proposition. We were convinced that we ought not to hesitate a moment. We accordingly went and consented to his demand, and he has agreed to let every thing remain as it is for the term of three months from this day. But desired us to remember that not a single day beyond that will be allowed on any account.
We consider the business as now settled on this footing, and it is the best ground we could possibly place it upon. You still have it in your power to say peace or no peace, you have an alternative, in the other case you had none, but war was inevitable, and there would have been no hope of peace during the reign of this Dey.
The guns are to be 8 pounders (English nines) 24 on the main deck, 8 on the Quarter deck, and four on the Forecastle. The 12 last may be smaller. She ought to be built long in proportion, and formed for sailing fast, a circumstance particularly pleasing here. We think such a vessel fitted for sea may be delivered in America for 45,000 dollars. Then, as by the terms of the treaty we have to deliver a quantity of long spars and other timber, this vessel will be a proper one to transport a cargo of them to this place. And in this way a saving may be made of about 10,000 dollars in freight.
In order to save the treaty thus far, which has been a subject of infinite anxiety and vexation, we found it necessary some time ago to make an offer to the Jew of ten thousand sequins (18,000 dollars) to be paid eventually if he succeeded, and to be distributed by him at his discretion among such great officers of State as he thought necessary and as much of it to be kept for himself as he could keep consistent with success. The whole of this new arrangement will cost the United States about 53,000 dollars. We expect to incur blame, because it is impossible to give you a complete view of the circumstances, but we are perfectly confident of having acted right.
With regard to the transfer of the funds to this place, we believe it can be done with the least difficulty through Leghorn. That is, to draw from that place on London, Madrid, or Lisbon, as shall be most advantageous, perhaps on all Unless you can ship a part in specie from Lisbon, which we believe would be the preferable mode for such a sum as you can ship.
Mr Donaldson sails tomorrow for Leghorn, there to wait your orders on this head. There is no time to be lost. you will be pleased to instruct him as soon as possible; and let our measures from this time forward be effectual. we are obliged to incur a considerable expense to get this letter to Allicante, we hope it will reach you soon. we remain Sir, with great respect Your obt and very hume Servts

Double tap to wake?
- Anyone get this working with the new GDR2 update? I saw it works on the att 520 so I assume it works on our 521 as well.08-15-2013 05:16 PM
- Yeah I don't see it either. Kinda weird that the 520 would get it but not the 521.08-15-2013 05:32 PM

- I'm not too crushed by it not being available, but for the record, after updating the firmware, the double tap option is not available on my 521 either08-15-2013 09:30 PM
- Yeah its not a huge issue I just thought it looked pretty cool in the 520 video review. Its something that stands out from other phones. Overall though I am pretty happy with the new update. My phone seems more solid. Also data sense and the screen color profiles are cool.
Like somebody else mentioned, it's odd how the 520 has it but not the 521. Could it be a T-Mobile blocking thing? If so, I can't possibly imagine why. It's not like having the double tap thing is going to cost T-Mo any $$ or persuade anyone from upgrading to a new device.
It'll be interesting if an answer as to why it's not there surfaces in the next few days08-15-2013 10:01 PM

EPSB welcomes new school board member
By: ELIZABETH WEST
Managing Editor
The Evangeline Parish School Board opened its Wednesday night meeting with a new school board member being sworn into office.
The ceremony was prompted by an announcement that Darren Vidrine has decided to step down from his position on the board due to health reasons; and, that he had requested for his wife, Karen, to be allowed to finish out the remainder of his current term.
After being sworn in by Assistant District Attorney Betsy Jackson, Karen was then accepted a plaque on behalf of her husband from Superintendent Darwan Lazard as a thank you for his service on the board.
An election will be held for all board members, including for Darren's former seat, this November.
The board then heard from Mamou High Principal Liz Chatelain, who introduced her school's new social media team. The group, according to Chatelain, will be in charge of informing the public about the positive things happening at MHS.
Chatelain then shared with the board that MHS had been awarded a $5,000 grant for technology through Centurylink. This is the second time that MHS has been selected to receive this grant, and this year's money, the principal said, will be used to purchase Chrome Books for classrooms.
Following Chatelain, Maintenance Supervisor Jason Hazelton addressed the board to announce which school's custodians had been chosen to receive a $25 Walmart gift card for having the cleanest campus for the final quarter of the school year.
Hazelton shared that, in the big school category, Pine Prairie High's custodians won, while the winner for the small school category was Chataignier Elementary.
The maintenance supervisor also informed the board that over the school year, his department was able to reduce fire marshal deficiencies at schools across the parish by 76.5 percent.
Finally, during the superintendent's comments, Lazard clarified that Monday, May 28, will be an instructional day for students. The reason, Lazard said, was "because we were out of school so many days for weather."
According to Lazard, the state mandates 63,720 instructional minutes for student during one school year and 182 work days for instructors.
Therefore, to meet state requirements, students will have school on Memorial Day.
Other items approved:
Low bid in the amount of $10,945 from Jeanmard, Inc. for a metal pavilion for the STEM program at Chataignier Elementary.

The long, strange trip of Quiznos, a homegrown chain, took another turn yesterday when Avenue Capital Group, a New York hedge fund, took controlling interest in the company. Reports the Wall Street Journal, "The deal, approved by all Quiznos creditors, keeps the chain, known for toasted subs, out of bankruptcy court. Avenue, the hedge fund controlled by billionaire Marc Lasry, will invest $150 million in Quiznos as part of the deal, and convert some debt to equity. Avenue will own more than 70% of the chain."
And the founders will own none. Rick Schaden, who opened three Quiznos franchises after graduating from the University of Colorado, joined with his father, Richard, to buy the brand and its first eighteen stores in 1991. The younger Schaden served as CEO until 2007, leaving soon after his firm, Cervantes Capital, sold part of its Quiznos ownership to JP Morgan. At the time, several franchisees were suing Quiznos for failing to deliver on promised deals. Schaden returned to Quiznos as CEO in 2009, when the slide from an all-time high of 5,000 stores had already started.
The problems continued, though, with more competition and more debt. And now neither Consumer Capital Partners, the investment firm led by Rick Schaden and his father that had controlled Quiznos, nor CCMP Capital Advisors, which spun off from JP Morgan Chase, own any of the company, according to the Journal.
"Improving our balance sheet and putting our capital structure issues behind us are major steps forward to strengthening the Quiznos brand and our customer experience," Greg MacDonald, Quiznos's chief executive, said in a release on the deal.
This deal also puts a lot of Colorado history behind Quiznos. Read how franchise owners felt they got burned in "You're Toast."

The U.S. government recently decided to no longer collect antidumping duties on imports of stainless steel sheet and strip in coils (SSSSC) from Germany, Italy and Mexico. This action follows from a recent vote of the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in connection with a "sunset review" of existing antidumping duty orders on imports of SSSSC from these three countries, as well as from Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

Out of request I have two more Tsum Tsum lessons that a few people wanted to see. This Tsum is from Mickey and Friends and he is also Mickey's pet and best friend/companion. Here is how to draw Tsum Pluto, step by step. I love Pluto, and I always have. I think it's because he reminds me a lot of my dog Bear, who is a German Shepherd and he has such a goofy personality just like Pluto. This is going to be a really fun and simple task so go ahead and enjoy yourself. Two more tuts to go, I wonder what they will be.

In week 12 of Greetham Valley's Winter Order of Merit golf competition, father and son pair Paul and Adam Clegg showed just what good players they are when confronted with forty miles an hour headwinds. Paul had a great front nine scoring 20 points and 36 overall but Adam just pipped him to take the win and the bragging rights with a score of 37 points.
This means that Adam, who missed week eleven, has moved up seven place in his last two games. He is now in third place overall and a mere 5 points behind second placed Neil Harris. Paul has moved from twelfth to eighth and is only 30 points behind Adam. Greetham Valley President and 2011 Winter Order of Merit winner Martin Boughton was third with 35 and moves up from eleventh to ninth. Long time leader Bob Beverley is still holding on to the top spot and after scoring 31 points has opened up his lead over Neil Harris. Steff Dutton retains his 4th place while Dave Copley who didn't play this week drops to fifth. All eyes, however, are on the Cleggsters!

Cordon Bleu Stromboli
1 loaf french bread
2 c. cooked chicken, diced (I used leftover grilled chicken but any cooked chicken would work...try the rotisserie chicken that you buy from the store, bet that would taste amazing on this)
2 c. cooked ham, cubed (leftovers are my friend...but you can buy cubed ham from the store that is already cooked too)
4 c. shredded swiss cheese
1 can cream chicken soup
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 c. lemon juice (if you like LESS of a tang, put in 1/8 c. instead)
For Sauce, put all ingredient in a small saucepan and cook until warm. Stir continually so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
Spray a large baking sheet with pan coating. Cut french bread in half lengthwise, place on prepared baking sheet, open bread so that the inside of both sides is facing up. Spread sauce on french bread. Sprinkle diced chicken and ham onto prepared bread. Top with shredded swiss cheese. Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes OR until cheese is melted. Watch carefully so as to not burn the bread. Eat and enjoy....right to the last bite.

In his first letter to Timothy, Paul the Apostle offers a list of instructions on how to lead the Christian life. His first instruction has to do with the community's responsibility to pray for others. He writes, "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all goodness and dignity. This is right and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Such prayers of intercession were a part of Jewish patterns of prayer, and so naturally fit into Christian practice from the earliest years of the Church. Such prayers are a way every baptized person exercises his or her share in the priesthood of Christ. The intentions are sometimes called "general intercessions," describing their character as extending beyond the particular needs and concerns of the local assembly, as well as indicating that they are meant to be prayers of intercession or petition, not prayers of thanksgiving. Sometimes they are called "prayers of the faithful," harkening back to the days when the liturgy was divided into the "Mass of the Catechumens" and the "Mass of the Faithful." Catechumens preparing for baptism were dismissed, as they are again today, after the scriptural readings and the preaching, and only the baptized (the "faithful") were allowed to join in the prayers of intercession that followed.
The intercessions are supposed to follow a particular order. They are directed, first of all, to the needs of the Church, then for public authorities and the salvation of the whole world, then for those burdened by any kind of difficulty, and finally for the local community. Of course in a particular celebration, such as confirmation, marriage or a funeral, the intentions might reflect more closely the particular occasion. The priest introduces the intercessions, and concludes them with a prayer. Current directives for the celebration of the liturgy state that "the intentions announced should be sober, be composed with a wise liberty and in a few words, and they should express the prayer of the entire community."
The intercessions sometimes suffer from overload. Sometimes there are too many, which can make them seem burdensome. The Missal - the book containing the prayers of the liturgy - contains samples of intercessions for various occasions, but there are only four intercessions in each series, with some variation. Perhaps simplicity is better. Sometimes too many things are crammed into the intercessions. They are not meant to be the community bulletin board. For example, lists of names of sick people should be limited to the parish bulletin. Nor should the intercessions include people's specific personal intentions. Many parishes have petition books at the entrance to the church, where people are welcome to write their personal intentions. Then one of the prayers of the faithful during the liturgy might read, each Sunday: "For all our personal intentions, and for those written in our parish petition book...we pray to the Lord..."

The issue with being almost on the edge of the earth is that it takes a long time to get back to not being on the edge of the earth. So today began at 9.30 am, with a three hour drive even further south to Punta Arenas airport. The drive was on very long, very straight roads with vast plains bordered by mountains. The airport had a decent restaurant, which I wasn't expecting, so I was able to have a nice lunch before my flight. The first flight was to Puerto Montt, where I had an hours wait while passengers disembarked/embarked, the crew changed and the aircraft refuelled. I landed at Santiago around 6.30 pm and by the time I met my driver it was dark so I didn't get to see much of the city on the way to my hotel. The highlight of the day was on the first flight, my guide at Puerto Natales told me I would have a great view of Torres del Paine on the flight, however I was on the wrong side of the plane to see the park, instead I had to put up with views of ice fields, snow capped mountains, and a glacier.

Marine viruses in the Southern Ocean ANTXXIV-3 Cruise Feb - Apr 2008Entry ID: Marine_Virus_ANTXXIV-3_Evans_IPY71_NL
Abstract: Samples were collected during the ANTXIV/3 cruise (February - April 2008) in the Southern Ocean on board RV Polarstern. Three transects were completed of the Greenwich Meridian, Weddell Sea and the Drake Passage to examine spatial variation in an area between -70.6 °S to -37.0 °S and 140 °E to -65.5 °E. Abundances of algae, bacteria and viruses were measured using flow cytometry and viral production was determined by an incubation based method. A dilution method was also used to determine grazing and viral lysis of the algae and bacterial production was measured using radio labelled leucine incorporation.
Purpose: The purpose of the data set was to examine the distribution and activity of viruses throughout a diverse range of southern ocean microbial communities. Viral activity was also placed into the context by examining growth rate and grazing of their primary microbial hosts; phytoplankton and bacteria.

Abolishing the Death Penalty/Capital Punishment
Social evolution seems to have triggered people and countries across the globe to a consensus regarding certain practices. Many countries seem to have agreed that some practices must be stopped, as a way of maintaining the dignity of humanity. Slavery and sacrificing humans as a ritual are some examples of the practices that the world now largely abhors and frowns at. Physical torture of humans is yet another practice that is fast being dropped by many societies. Although vestiges of some of these practices still exist, they remain isolated and far from the normal and universally acceptable behaviors and cultures. That means the practices have largely been shunned and that they have no room in modern society.
Historically, however the church is said to have executed many lives, contrary to Biblical teachings of the importance of life, and man's right to the same (Snyder, 1999). Christians killed many innocent people during the early centuries in the name of Christ as their flag bearer; in fact, several monotheist religions massacred innocent lives, attributing their acts to divine law, killing people who were considered blasphemous or heretical (Nicolau, 2013). The Catholic Church bishops in the U.S., in 1976, made an appeal to the Pontifical Justice and Peace Commission based in Rome to assist in solving the contentious debate over death penalties. The Commission responded that "bishops have voiced their views and acted firmly in support of life against abortion and euthanasia. . . . There must be an inner reason that would force Catholics, with their sense of the sacredness of life, to be persistent in this defence and extend it to the adoption of capital punishment." More bishops were motivated as a result of the Commission's response to push for the abolition of capital punishment. It was in the same year that the Supreme Court lifted its suspension of death penalty (the ban was declared in 1972) sentences by declaring it constitutional in Gregg v. Georgia (Snyder, 1999).
Most countries around the world have increasingly dropped the death penalty as an unacceptable way of punishing capital offenders. However, there is still lack of consensus regarding the use and effectiveness of this penalty. China, which is the most populous country in the world, executes capital offenders in their thousands each year. The United States applies the death penalty commonly. Overall, there are 84 countries that still employ the death sentence. Studies show that the number of states that employ the death penalty to punish capital offenders is declining fast. There is a likelihood that pressure will mount on those who still apply the penalty, until they abandon it in the coming years (Dieter, n.d.). There are varied reasons why the countries that drop the death penalty do so. Many countries have made that decision basing it on their new perspective on human rights understanding. Spain, for instance, abolished the death penalty completely in 1995 with formidable observation that the practice had no place in modern society. There is nothing more degrading than depriving someone of their life (Nicolau, 2013). Switzerland cited flagrant violation of the right to life and dignity as its motivation towards the abandonment of the sentence. In South Africa, Justice Chaskalson notably pointed out in the landmark decision that overturned the use of the death penalty that the right to life is the most critical of all human rights. Therefore respect for such important human rights must be demonstrated by the state in all its activities including how it deals with criminals (Dieter, n.d.).
The first person in Europe to abolish capital punishment in 1786 was the Great Duke of Tuscany. It is no accident that the enlightenment philosophy and the first abolition of death penalty occurred simultaneously in history. After all, there should be no power capable of taking away man's natural right to life; there is the need for a society that does not execute any man even if he breaks its laws. This is the essence of abolishing capital punishment as a way of protecting human rights, specifically the right to life. Evidence lies in the history of abolishing death penalty (Nicolau, 2013). A society's power should halt at the point where it recognizes that it cannot execute man for whatever reason due to each person's right to life. Clearly, a murderer does not realize this right. But why would a society want to see through the eyes of the murderer by adopting his practice of killing? (Nicolau, 2013). This paper will justify why death or capital punishment should be abolished by all nations across the globe.
Statistical Data
The Error Rates in Capital Cases- A Broken System
Many stakeholders in the American justice system agree that errors in the legal death penalty sentence have hit a crisis level. More people hold the opinion that the system sends some innocent people to death row. Other critics state that capital appeal procedures are too winding and too long. According to the governor's director of communications, Ellen Qualls, in every 300 pertinent cases, 20 to 30 are expected to be exonerations in accordance to the trends of DNA test results. This clearly indicates a high error rate in previous convictions of suspects to capital punishment; this can be argued by some as unacceptable for a state that sentences offenders to death penalties. Although the U.S. has been divided for a long time with regards to the issue of capital punishment, it is upon a state to adopt or abolish it. Providing evidence that many innocent people have been killed through capital punishment is strong enough to push for its abolishment (Marris, 2006).
A report, the first ever on modern American capital appeals, collected information on various appeals; 4578 appeals were found in capital cases of the state between 1973 and 1995, highlighting that both opinions on the death penalty system are true. They say that the judicial review of capital offences takes far too long. The study, however, found the justification for the protracted process, stating that the capital sentences are frequently fraught with so many errors that critically dent their reliability and credibility (Liebman, Fagan, & West, 2000). The report further showed that
In the period spanning 23 years, prejudicial error stood at 68% in the capital punishment system. In particular, there were serious flaws in 7 out of every 10 capital sentences slapped on people. There were thousands of such cases under review and completed in the same period (Liebman, Fagan, & West, 2000).
It has also been established that there are far too many mistakes in capital trials that it takes up to three inspections to cite them. This also means that there is a chance that some of the mistakes are not picked up in the inspections. A federal review discovered fundamental flaws that undermine the reliability of the results of 40% of the remaining death sentences. This was after 47% of death sentences were thrown out, owing to serious errors (Liebman, Fagan, & West, 2000).
State courts conduct most of the clean up in correcting mistakes in death sentences. 90% of the death sentences that were dismissed were done by state judges. Interestingly, many of these judges were among the ones that imposed those death sentences. They were bestowed with public trust; therefore, they were unlikely to overturn the death sentences unless there was a very good reason. Federal review is still necessary though. There are large amounts of grave capital errors that the state judges of the appellate courts are required to review. It is not a wonder, therefore that a substantial amount of the cases that are let through to the federal stage are still significantly flawed (Liebman, Fagan, & West, 2000).
The threshold for the reversal of a case is quite high. Some of the common reasons that lead to reversals of death sentences include: 1. Incompetent defence lawyers who fail to identify such errors in the cases against their clients; and 2. Prosecutors who learnt about such serious errors, but deliberately covered them up and eventually let the jury make rulings without such information (Liebman, Fagan, & West, 2000).
There were massive error rates that endangered innocent people and exposed them to the possibility of wrongful execution. It was found that 82% of people whose cases were reversed deserved sentences that were less severe than a death sentence.7% of these people were found innocent (Liebman, Fagan, & West, 2000).
The high rate of errors occurs over a long time. It was noted that 50% of the flawed cases examined, occurred in 20 of the 23 years that the study was carried out including 17 of the last 19 years. The error rate was over 60% in half of the most recent years (Liebman, Fagan, & West, 2000).
The error rates are a common occurrence across the nation. It has been pointed out that over 90% of the states that still apply the death sentence in the U.S. have an error rate of over 52%.… [END OF PREVIEW]

16 Apr Daisy Pulls It Off by Denise Deegan
I was in the play as the title role aged 12 so this play has always been an important part of my theatre soul.
I was approached by a friend to see if I wanted to run a theatre evening locally. I said I would prefer to put on a play and I happened to have the perfect one.
I had a window in my work schedule. Now when I say window I basically mean I wasn't directing a feature film. I was however in post for two films, in pre for two others and had pilot season happening. As well as guests arriving to stay for Easter. But I crave creating and so I gave us an eight week window with which to make this happen.
We immediately cast using Film Independents fantastic casting space. I saw 30 girls in total over two days and needed 9. I had already made the decision to reverse the roles, all adults were to be played by kids and vice versa. So I needed to cast 9 adult (pupil) roles. It was all going so well but I could not find a Daisy. The last auditionee who was running late turned up. She was perfect. She was my Daisy. Phew!
We then had eight Monday's 6.30-10 to rehearse. The Shade Hotel in Redondo Beach offered us a free space to rehearse. So now that was cast and rehearsals. I then invited a theatre producer Julie Nunis to help with all logistics. This allowed me the space to purely be creative. I explained what set and props I needed. She set about making that happen.
We went through the play a total of four times before tech and dress. I decided to use a lot of physical theatre and keep the stage clear and simple. The colors were the school colors and on a black stage they really stuck out. The cast were also responsible for moving the stage onto whichever scene we needed next as part of their movement. They also had books as fabrics attached to the back of their school shirts that were let down whenever the library needed to appear. The same occurred for the portrait gallery with frames. It was fluid and moved from scene to scene without the audience being aware things were changing.
Tech and dress was a twelve hour day. Non stop getting it right. Over and over again. I love contemporary dance and physical theatre so my piece really centered around the physicality. The hockey game was a theatrical version of real movements.
We sold out on the third night and had over half full on the other two nights.
The cast were incredible and I am so proud of everyone.
We will be touring this in LA to local theatres. So watch out for our next dates.

Turns out I'm a lightweight that way.
Turns out a retreat under a metaphorical duvet was needed after the second deathbed, and the second body, and the second funeral and the second choosing of coffins, and readings and cremations and it all just brought back everything - and I didn't even have the bloody pills I was prescribed after the dog died.
But let's skip to the good news. There's a limit to how long I can spend in a self pitying fog.
Which is lucky because The One Remaining Aunt (TORA!) has also had her problems. My mother has been visiting her in her dreams. No really. TORA is quite insistent on this. And because TORA is not the most sensible person on the planet, well maybe she is psychic, so you know, hang in with me here. Anyway, apparently my mother is annoyed, and exasperated, and trying to tell TORA something. She's shaking keys, and walking away.
And she's doing this on a quite regular basis.
TORA reckons she's telling us there is another will. Without saying anything to TORA, I suspect that if my mother is creating in psychic space it's very likely to be because her remains are still out at the crematorium and she wants to go home. Actually, come to think of even if there is no such thing as an afterlife, my mother's remains were definitely overdue for collection from the crematorium.
This is a long preamble to me saying I collected my mother from the crematorium.
For those who have never held human remains, let me tell you know, they are surprisingly heavy. And it's impossible not to feel the person with you as you hold them. So it felt only right to fasten my mother's urn into the back seat with a seat belt. What you going to do? Put your mother in the boot?
Then the problems started. I didn't know where to put her.
She couldn't come back to mine, because I still have W's ashes and they hated each other in life. In death there would be one unholy conflagration. Cheesetown could be annihalted.
So she had to go back to hers.
But where at hers?
It seemed too Norman Bates to leave her urn in her old seat in the living room. A wee bit odd putting it in the window.
Odder still to put her urn on her bed..What you going to do? Tuck it in?
She couldn't be in the kitchen. We still use that. That would be wrong.
And what kind of person would put their mother in the hall cupboard? With the shoes? When she only had one leg?
And she couldn't go in the garden; it's going to rain till Christmas
Sigh. She's in the back of the car for now. I'll figure this out later.
*If you count Ned, which my god I do.

When it comes to the feminist war on alleged sexists, we must admit it has been very successful in destroying high-end celebrities but the numbers are skewered in favor of those unfavorable to the progressive agenda.
Bill Cosby made the mistake of telling the truth about what's happened to the black community even in the age of Obama.
Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain were dangerous because they're black conservatives.
Then there is Bill O'Reilly, and the late Fox News founder Roger Ailes, both were forced to vacate the fair and balanced network because it is indeed fair and balanced. If one were to believe a recent Hollywood film, "Fifth Estate" then we can even add Julian Assange, one of the most dangerous enemies of the establishment, to that assembly. Sweden just dropped the politically charged, trumped up rape charges against him after seven long years.
It is so easy to level sex assault charges against anyone if one can get a high-priced feminist lawyer like Gloria Alredd or her daughter Lisa Bloom, who was handling a case against Cosby. Speaking of Cosby, I really haven't read all the details of the charges made by 60 women but I have a problem understanding why any woman would be attracted to this man. He isn't exactly Denzel Washington, is he? My, how shallow I am.
As the Cosby case comes to trial and jury selection ensues, how I wish I could be placed as a juror. I would like the prosecution to answer certain questions. Why are these women alleging these charges now? What were they expecting from Mr. Cosby when they met with him alone- a job, friendship, what?
Many of the 60 cases brought against the comedian are beyond the statute of limitations. The remaining ones are puzzling because they would have occurred after Mr. Cosby was no longer at the peak of his celebrity. The popular Cosby show ended in 1992 and the woman whose case is now in court claims Cosby assaulted her at his house in 2004. Cosby denies this and says all these sexual cases were consensual and they have been brought to secure large cash settlements in lawsuits.
What is glaringly obvious about all these cases is that they must be politically motivated considering the fact that liberal Democrats are rarely the targets of the feminists. All Democrat politicians support abortion and are thus protected against feminazi attacks or why would someone like Bill Clinton who has been accused of being a serial sexual predator get away unscathed?
Only Paula Jones succeeded in exposing the 'Great Exposer Sans Trenchcoat' and getting him impeached. Three other victims, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley and Paula Jones appeared at a Trump/Clinton debate but the MSM ignored their compelling testaments against the ex president.
As a young man in Oxford, Clinton was forced to leave after allegedly sexually assaulting a 19 year old British classmate, Ellen Wellstone. Naturally, he claims sex was consensual but Ms. Wellstone has confirmed the assault which has successfully been covered up by Clinton supporters.
It is amusing to read how snopes.com, a liberal whitewasher, tries to dismiss the Wellstone incident as unfounded. Now Bill Clinton is regarded as an elder statesman and one of the most successful presidents who nevertheless disgraced the Oval office but at least no one died that we know of.
Not so with another well respected Democrat politician Ted Kennedy. I doubt that many millenials know what happened at Chappaquiddick to Mary Jo Kopechne but I wonder if they would be as horrified by the incident as I was. If that had been a Republican driving that car off the bridge and abandoning her to drown trapped inside and not reporting it for ten hours, I doubt he would have gotten off with a two month suspended jail sentence. Democrat sexists are sure lucky, aren't they?
Now with Donald Trump, they've run into another animal. He's a billionaire playboy who may have had the same sexual appetites but with one caveat- he listens when a woman says no.
During the campaign the media made a big stink about the Billy Bush tape with the crude remark Trump made but they failed to notice the exact wording of that remark. He admitted being rejected by a married woman he hit on and then said-"And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."
Braggadocio, of course, but note he says, "They let you do anything" and he was right because the Playboy mansion and Hollywood Hills are full of these women who would love to have bagged a celebrity billionaire like Trump and would let him do anything.
Like Bill O'Reilly, another television celebrity had a sex scandal involving his assistants and blackmail but the producers of David Letterman's late night show never pulled it off the air and sponsors never threatened to leave. But then Letterman trashed Sarah Palin so he was gold and vested for life.
I've made no secret that I've never been a fan of the women's movement but at its outset it did cover important issues like equal pay and equal rights. Once it morphed into the she man- hater club, it lost my respect. These women have become as predatory as those they claim took advantage of them. How can they claim to be strong women when they need a lawyer to portray them as victims?
I am woman, hear me roar? You mean meow?

Chancery Chambers is the head office of ADLS, situated on the corner of Chancery and O'Connell Streets in the Auckland CBD. Built in 1924, it stands on the site of Acacia Cottage, home to John Logan Campbell, believed to have been Auckland's first European-type dwelling.
Chancery Chambers was designed by a French-Canadian architect, J Sholto Smith of Mullions & Smith. Many of Auckland's well-known identities have worked in the building which for a time housed a tea room in the sixth floor tower and a Turkish bath complex in the basement.
The building was bought by ADLS in 1989 and restored - in association with Mace Development Corporation and architect James Morrison - to reflect its 1920s' origin.
The sixth floor of Chancery Chambers has extensive conference facilities and an expansive roof garden which are available for hire to the profession and members of the public.

GLENDALE, Calif. (Apr. 13, 2018) – Freshman James Wei (Chappaqua, N.Y. / Horace Greeley) pulled through for another singles victory, this one to tie the program single-season wins record, as the Caltech men's tennis team defeated Occidental College, 6-3 at Scholl Canyon on Friday afternoon. Along with freshman doubles partner Varun Shanker (Midland, Mich. / Midland Dow), Wei also notched a hard fought 8-3 victory at first doubles to tie the Pathireddy brothers' single-season doubles wins record set back in 2015.
Wei, whose only loss came on February 17th at Lewis & Clark Colleges, won at second singles, 6-2, 6-3, to help the Beavers secure a key win over the rival Tigers. The rookie is undefeated against SCIAC competition and has now guaranteed himself at least a share of the program record for single-season singles wins. Wei's 14 wins have brought him even with junior teammate Zixiao Li (Coppell, Texas / Coppell), who set the record as a freshman in 2016.
Caltech got off to a good start by taking a 2-1 advantage from doubles action into the singles matches. The Beavers had particularly good success in the bottom three singles matches, which were also the three fastest matches to finish. Freshman Kevin Yu (Mason, Ohio / Cincinnati Country Day) got his first run at fourth singles and clinched the match for Caltech when he won, 6-1, 6-2. Sophomore Miha Valencic (Colleyville, Texas / Grapevine), meanwhile stepped in at fifth singles and responded with a 6-0, 6-0 victory in his own right, the fastest match to finish on the day. Sophomore Connor Soohoo (Redwood Shores, Calif. / Crystal Springs) also picked up a routine win, 6-1, 6-2 at sixth singles.
Head Coach Mandy Gamble and the Beavers will finish up the 2018 regular season at home, first against California Lutheran University on Friday Apr. 20, then on the very next day against first-place No. 5 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges. Caltech is currently tied with No. 11 Pomona-Pitzer Colleges for second in the SCIAC and can clinch a spot in the conference playoffs with a win over the Kingsmen next Friday, or with Cal Lutheran and Whittier College defeats this weekend, whichever happens first.
Follow and show support for your Caltech Beavers on Twitter (@CaltechBeavers), Facebook, YouTube and Instagram!

I know nothing about these deserted houses on a farm south of Laporte, Saskatchewan. On March 19 we known as both our local scrapyards to test their costs and came upon that Lowe Fur & Herb was paying 20 cents extra per pound for scrap steel. The Malibu Dream House would be discontinued with a brand new advertising campaign getting ready to be kicked off within the fall of 2013. We had a bat hanging off the side of the house this summer season so I know they are round.
Another improvement is using one area under the home where we beforehand grazed the sheep and we now have our apple trees.
