Rui Ninomiya is one of Gatchaman Crowds main characters, he is a prodigy who created GALAX and X. He was used in an elaborate plan by Berg Katse to destroy Earth. He also goes by the pseudonym LOAD among the GALAX community and when going out in public.
Rui is a young man with short black hair, green eyes, and red glasses. As Rui, he usually wears a light blue coat over a white shirt with black accents and black pants and shoes. When he worked as LOAD he crossdresses when going out in public, most of them involve a blonde wig (save for one disguise where he uses a long black haired wig). The most common of which is a punk rock design with a black dress and high boots with a blonde wig worn in a ponytail.
Rui is an idealist who strives to make the current society better through GALAX to help others just for the sake of it. He sees society as flawed and believes that it is his duty to improve it. Rui also sees the notion of superheroes like the Gatchaman as a threat to his vision of an 'Updated World' as people might rely on them to solve all major problems. Despite having gained power, he refuses to use his NOTE unless in dire circumstances like emergency situations. He views X as his only real friend until getting help from the G-Crew. When selecting members of the Hundred, Rui only looks for people who will not abuse their power for their own misguided judgment.
Later when Berg Katse steals X and his NOTE, Rui opens up to others especially after he sees the side effects of CROWDS. He even does a public apology that he previously stated was just an excuse by politicians.
A boy (who disguises himself as a girl most of the time/crossdresses) living on the top floor in the high-class mansion-apartment building Glorious Tower Toyosu in Tokyo's Koto ward. He believes that the current Japan is extremely boring, and is doing many things in order to speed up and update the world's clocks. He also possesses his own NOTE, colored purple with a different logo on the cover.
His NOTE was pulled out of him by Berg Katse and in episode 8 Berg takes advantage of that fact. The NOTES logo has a diamond shape instead of a stylized bird logo like the Gatchaman. This is possibly because his power was given to him by Berg Katse and not J.J.
Rui had educated himself through the internet and had learned to write code from observing hackers from around the world. At some point he moved into the mansion-apartment Glorious Tower Toyosu in Tokyo's Koto ward where he set up shop as LOAD. At some point he was found by Berg Katse who extracted Rui's spiritual essence to create a NOTE which allowed Rui to use CROWDS. Rui however was reluctant to use it even during the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami which caused a lot of casualties.
Several years later, he was visited time and again by Katse to use his power. But Rui had only used it for emergency situations such as the falling rail car. He later dismisses a user who thought to make Japan a better place by killing the politicians. During the collapse of a tunnel where Rui uses Crowds, Rui encounters the Gatchaman Hajime Ichinose who introduces herself by removing her mask. Rui then arranges for Hajime to meet him with Utsutsu and Sugane also appearing. There, he tries to convince them to stop being heroes but Hajime decides to go through with it anyway. Rui finds her interesting as she leaves.
Rui encounters Berg Katse again and tries to have the Hundred defeat him, but Katse overpowers them all and Rui is hurt. Sugane appears and helps him treat his wounds while Rui explains his purpose for the CROWDS. Rui then walks away depressed and encounters Katse again who takes Rui's appearance and NOTE. This allows him to control X and CROWDS. Rui upset at what happened encounters a girl who's father is in the hospital after he used CROWDS. Rui assures herfather will be fine before walking off where he meets Hajime again. Hajime brings him to her apartment where he meets the rest of the G-Crew and asks for their help in dealing with Katse.
During the battle against the rampaging CROWDS, Rui gives out information to others. He is later given his NOTE back by O.D where he uses the CROWDS app to get people to help out in certain situations. With the battle over, Rui is relieved that he regained X and saw the world update.
A year later, Rui became a Gatchaman and helped the G-Crew stop an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Suguyama by the terrorist organization VAPE .
While Rizumu's surprise appearance shook Rui, it did not waver his principals and beliefs that humanity could evolve beyond its prejudices and violence. Joe called him naive and warned him that people like Rizumu are the reason humanity needs heroes. During an attack by a massive outbreak of red Crowds on Tachikawa, Rui was contacted by Rizumu to surrender his NOTE if he wanted to save the citizens of the city. Believing his word, Rui met him and de-transformed to ask why he hated the CROWDS and debating his ideals with the terrorist.
After talking Rui handed over his NOTE saying that Rizumu is a not a bad person, just misguided. At first it seems his words moved Rizumu, but it was a farce by the VAPE leader to drive Rui into despair and slowly kill him by stabbing his NOTE repeatedly with a bowie knife. Rizumu said that Rui's principles were what would kill him, not him, continuing to stab the NOTE as Rui writhed in pain and kept losing blood. However, Tsubasa comes to save Rui and leaps toward Rizumu despite Rui's protests not to interfere.
Rui is a vastly intelligent young man who considers his intellect his trump card. He is trilingual, being able to speak English, Japanese, and Chinese. After educating himself using educational websites and learning how to write code from hackers around the world, he developed the social networking services GALAX and X.
Gatchaman form
Transport: Rui's Gatchaman form can teleport through electronic devices to any location he wishes to be and the "X" wheel on his back can act as a portal to transport his Gatchaman teammates to his location. He can also use the portal to quickly get to another location for shorter distances, as his electronic transport takes time and concentration to reconstitute himself.
X Saucer:Rui uses a circular disc attached to his hip and attaches it to one of his arms, the disc then spins rapidly and fires discharges of electricity at the target.
Digitize: Rui releases a burst of electricity that reverts rouge CROWDS into stasis cube form. he then uses the ability to transport the soul the avatar consists of back to its body.
Rui was given a purple NOTE with a diamond emblem (later given a Gatchaman emblem) that can control the avatars of human souls called CROWDS via an app on the GALAX social network, given by Rui to hand picked individuals called The Hundred. In Gatchaman Crowds insight, Rui uses his note to transform into his Gatchaman form and its diamond emblem in the center has changed into the Gatchaman symbol, symbolizing his role as a hero.
- Rui's crossdressing as a girl and a companion named President X are references or nods to the original Berg Katse from the 1972 series.
- Rui uses a Microsoft Surface to monitor GALAX when he is outside.

Jaguar Land Rover
Jaguar Land Rover colleagues in China are motoring ahead with a busy programme of initiatives designed to further improve levels of engagement and create an even stronger connection with the brand and its products.
The wide-reaching campaign has already secured some impressive results and supports the Accelerate Workforce Experience objectives of seamless knowledge-sharing and ensuring that over 800 colleagues have a good experience in their workplaces. Mark Wilson, Executive Vice President for Human Resources, comments:
"We had some invaluable feedback from our Pulse Survey where we got lots of ideas from colleagues on what they wanted to see, and we're focusing our activities around the positive workplace experience we want our colleagues to have. Especially, employees themselves take the initiatives through EDC (Employee Development Committee of JLR China)."
Activities have included a Share Fair event led by the JLR China Office & Property team, where people had the opportunity to recommend new and improved office processes and also suggest extra facilities to ensure this workplace was even more user-friendly and designed around their needs. A survey was used to capture people's feedback and several key recommendations are being actioned.
Through EDC, more personal touches are designed to create a real sense of Jaguar Land Rover being a family and not just workmates who share an office are also underway.
Everyone's birthday is recognised and celebrated with a monthly gathering at all sites, which is very well-attended (the lure of cake works the world over) and a Buddy scheme is in place and being further developed so that any new starters feel properly welcomed and successfully inducted into our organisation.
The hugely popular and influential China-based social media app WeChat (which has estimated 1 billion users) is also used for two-way communications with employees. An estimated 95 per cent of colleagues in China have followed the Internal WeChat account – WeJLR. It proves to be a successful way for colleagues to feel fully engaged because they can keep track of company news and events the moment they're available and just as importantly, join any conversations themselves.
Live video feeds, pictures, surveys, event registration forms and key bulletins are instantly available on WeJLR, and this is proving to be an excellent way to share knowledge and also increase awareness about the Jaguar Land Rover brand.
These activities - designed to ensure colleagues can have a clear input over their working environment and are always in the communications loop - are part of an even more far-reaching programme which Team Talk will be taking a closer look at shortly.

Healthy eating recipes
There is something so incredibly comforting about a steaming bowl of soup, especially when you've taken the time to make it yourself from scratch. The classic chicken noodle is hard to beat (particularly when you're feeling under the weather) and warming butternut squash is simple a delicious, making the most of seasonal autumn ingredients. For something a little more adventurousmay we suggest a smoked trout-adorned soup? These soup recipes not only taste better than anything you can buy, but they're deceptively easy too and none is more easy than our very popular tomato and red pepper soup, a healthy, tasty classic.

Every year, the Desjardins Entrepreneur Award is given to companies that stand out for their achievement, financial performance and contribution to the community. Let's take a look back at two previous award winners: Ateliers Léopold-Desrosiers and Habitation Boies.
Ateliers Léopold-Desrosiers: 2007 Desjardins Entrepreneur Award for financial and social performance
Ateliers Léopold-Desrosiers was founded in 1982 with a mission to create jobs for people living with disabilities. "Firewood and heating fuel, housekeeping, sewing, document shredding, industrial laundry… Because of the diversity of our work, we can employ and integrate people dealing with different limitations. The workplace, equipment, tasks and schedules are all adapted to meet the needs of disabled employees," says manager Lucie Lapointe.
In 2007, Ateliers Léopold-Desrosiers won the Desjardins Entrepreneur Award for financial and social performance. "Our Desjardins account manager urged us to submit our nomination because of our unique commitment to the community. We were thrilled and very honoured to receive the recognition! Besides acknowledging our entrepreneurial spirit, the Desjardins Entrepreneur Award in a way established that a company with adapted workplaces and disabled employees is a company, period. The award raised our visibility in the region and piqued the curiosity of several disabled people living here. In under just ten years, we've doubled the number of employees from 85 in 2007 to 175 in 2016, making us the largest employer in Matane's industrial park!
About 47 companies in Quebec are recognized as 'adapted workplaces,' meaning at least 60% of their workforce is disabled. In our company, that number is 90%! Our diversity is what makes us strong.
In 2007, annual sales hovered around $400,000. Today we're nearing the million dollar mark. We are so proud to be working with people from our own region ─ very willing employees living with a few limitations," she says enthusiastically.
Habitations Boies: 2004 Desjardins Entrepreneur Award in the Young Entrepreneur category
Habitations Boies is a residential renovations and construction business and housing developer. The family business goes back four generations. "My brothers Jean-Sébastien, Dominique and I grew up on construction sites. We started working in this field very early on. The passion for home-building is in our genes," says Martin Boies, president of Habitations Boies, 2004 Desjardins Entrepreneur Award winner in the Young Entrepreneur category.
Boies tells us, "At the time, we were young construction entrepreneurs on the lookout for new technologies. Our nomination stood out because we were building new energy-efficient homes, with Novoclimat certification. That means they meet higher standards of comfort, insulation, sealing and ventilation.
The award felt like a huge pat on the back, an acknowledgement from the people at Desjardins that said, 'Congratulations, keep up the good work.'" Martin Boies ends by adding, "Thirteen years later, energy efficiency and the environment are still at the heart of our concerns and we are just as passionate about building houses!"

"If you tell the
truth chickens you don't have to remember anything"- Mark Twain.
I suppose that might make a fun party game.
Chicken keepers who consider their hens to be pets might find it upsetting that these chicken facts are referred to as "chicken nuggets of wisdom" (ha ha) and interspersed with recipe ideas. I know some people do eat chickens, but I doubt a book marketed for dog lovers would include recipes for roast dog, so I am left wondering who this book is really supposed to be for.
For Cluck's Sake is a quick read, full of bits and pieces about chickens. It's probably not for more sensitive chicken lovers, or people who want reliable information about chicken breeds, but might be fun for the casual reader, perhaps to enjoy on the toilet.
Disclaimer: I was given a complimentary copy of this book by Andrews McMeel Publishing, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

Everton and West Ham fans are probably going to take this story in very different ways.
Jorge Jesus' possible move to Goodison Park has been a hot topic in the past 24 hours, so there's no shock in seeing what his response to an offer would be.
Now it's with complete surprise that Hammers fans will see them involved in this, since there had been no rumours about the Portuguese manager's arrival in London.
Regardless, two stories from the Brazilian press today say it's very unlikely that Jorge Jesus would accept offers from Everton or West Ham right now.
It all started with Fox Sports. They spoke to Portuguese journalist Oscar Cordeiro last night, and one of the channel's pundits, Felippe Facincani, said he'd been speaking to a Portuguese friend who told him about approaches from China, Everton and West Ham. So he asked Cordeiro if Jesus would leave Flamengo for any of these options.
"I don't believe he will go to China. To go back to Europe, it has to be for the Champions League. And neither West Ham nor Everton allow him that."
Then Paulo Vinícius Coelho, who was at that same table on Fox Sports, wrote a post on his UOL blog. He's pretty reliable, and his stories are also worth a read.
He mostly highlights Everton and China in his story. And he says that right now, Flamengo or Porto are more attractive options for the manager, since both of them would allow him to fight for titles.
West Ham are mentioned only once in his story, with PVC claiming that neither them nor Everton would give him the chance of winning big things. It's said this is the reason why Jesus rejected an offer from Newcastle United before taking charge of Flamengo.
The reasons Jorge Jesus wouldn't be attracted by the Everton job have also been reported by the Portuguese press, in a story from Record which we covered this morning.

Germanwings A320 4U 9525 Plane Crash: Psychic Sterling Update – Plane did NOT Crash – It was NOT Suicide!
Germanwings A320 4U 9525 Plane Crash: Psychic Sterling Sinclair Update
Plane did NOT Crash
It was NOT suicide
Says psychic Auracature image.
It has been almost 5 years since I have drawn an update.
However, several people still go to my blog page devoted to the crash.
Today, I was suddenly prompted by spirit to draw an update.
This is my YouTube Post about the Psychic Auracature Update
Once again, the Auracature image shows that the plane was taken down by a mechanical force outside the airplane. Although there was a conclusion that the copilot, Andreas Lubitz crashed the plane – likely suicide, psychically I disagree.
None of my drawings in 2015
Germanwings A320 4U 9525 Plane Crash Auracatures
Or this drawing ever suggested that this was the case.
The Auracature images revealed and still reveal that the plane was taken down by a missile and/or other mechanical device as the CERN Collider.
CERN Collider Trial and Possible Cause of Germanwings Crash
The images have shown an energy from under the ground and fighter jets in the air.
The plane never even hit the ground as was frequently reported.
It blew up or mostly vanished prior to impact.
Psychically, Lubitz was the sacrificial lamb – the fall guy for this tragedy.
Even before I knew of the laser tests, a couple Auracatures drew it.
Germanwings 320 4u 9525 Shot Down?
Andreas Lubitz's family has faced this horror of what I read as being described as a whitewashing in 2017.
Andreas-Lubitz website but it is just a black screen for me – censorship?
Article related to the Lubitz's Views
My heart aches for all of the deceased and their loved ones.
Even today when I drew this Auracature, the dead kept pointing to the sky in visions that kept appearing.
Sadly, I doubt the factual truth will ever be publicly revealed, but the dead continue to point toward the real culprits – NOT at Andreas Lubitz.
Much love,

Abi-Samra has more than 35 years of experience in power generation, transmission, distribution, retail, and end-use energy applications. He is president of Electric Power & Energy Consulting and an adjunct professor with UC San Diego. He also is the author of a new book Power Grid Resiliency for Adverse Conditions (Artech House, 2017).
The book is part technical reference guide and part history lesson. In it, Abi-Samra describes the impacts of heat waves, ice storms, and hurricanes on grid operations through case studies from North America, Europe, and Asia.
Synchophasors measure the instantaneous voltage, current, and frequency at specific locations on the grid, offering operators a near-real-time picture of what's happening on the system, which lets them take action to prevent power outages.
Load shedding involves the short-term interruption of power to one or more end users to allow the grid to rebalance itself. Many industrial-scale power users trade off the occasional loss of power for lower power prices, known as "interruptible rates."
The early 2000s were also marked by hurricanes that hit Florida and Louisiana particularly hard. Widespread loss of transmission and distribution poles led to efforts to replace wooden poles with steel and concrete. Further hardening came after Hurricane Katrina devastated substations, leading to investments to elevate them above storm surge levels.
Superstorm Sandy in 2012 exposed storm vulnerabilities in the Northeast, particularly the near-impossibility of insulating a system from damage in the face of fearsome winds and flooding.
The idea that resulted from Sandy was to "allow the system to fail, but in such a way that it could quickly recover," Abi-Samra says. This illustrates another lesson: Efforts intended merely to harden infrastructure are not enough—the grid also needs to be resilient.
Hardening and resiliency are different concepts, Abi-Samra says. Resiliency refers to characteristics of the infrastructure and operations such as strength and the ability to make a fast recovery, which help utilities minimize or altogether avoid disruptions during and after an extreme weather event.

The rich hues of hills against the mountains,
The full measure of mountains against the sky,
The amber soaring sky against heaven.
I hear voices speak inside myself,
The voices of all who pass by,
All so kindhearted and friendly now.
I understand the language of dogs and birds,
Of babbling babies pushed along in strollers.
They smile and greet me,
Saying: Yes, yes!
It is wonderful to be loved!
I feel the edge of evening coming on now,
So cold against my cheeks.
Oh God,
The rapture!

Companies from the most unexpected industries are starting to look a lot like media companies.
Snack food giant Mondelez International, for example, recently announced it is getting into the media business and launching a content monetization practice. The idea is to create a new revenue stream by producing TV shows, online videos and other types of content that can be sold to other companies. The initiative will help Mondelez—a CPG behemoth with a portfolio of household brands such as Oreo cookies, Triscuit crackers and Toblerone chocolate—generate additional revenue by producing content that's commercially viable.
PepsiCo, another food and beverage conglomerate, has been in the media game for a few years now, recently investing in a state-of-the-art content studio in Manhattan. Interestingly, the goal of the so-called Creators League studio isn't to create materials explicitly mentioning or promoting its brands. Brad Jakeman, president of global beverage group at PepsiCo told AdAge that the "goal is to behave like a Hollywood studio." It will work with companies like AOL to produce scripted series, music recordings and other types of unbranded content.
This idea is catching on. Over the past two years, companies like L'Oreal and Cara, owners of several restaurant chains in Canada, have launched similar media-related initiatives with promising early results. More companies are branching out and stepping up efforts to produce superior content—especially the kind that people and brands will pay for.
Here, we explain what's driving the adoption of content monetization and the challenges company leaders will face as they flood the media industry.
Content marketing 2.0?
The idea of creating branded content is not new. The popularity of social media and blogs drove content marketing into the mainstream, as experts pushed brands to "think like publishers." The rise of content marketing brought a realization that high-quality content attracts a greater target audience.
Content monetization is the next step for content marketing. As marketers become proficient in creating quality content, they evolve the use of content from marketing and word of mouth to revenue generation.
An unlikely and early adopter of content monetization is Red Bull. In 2007, the company launched Red Bulletin, a men's lifestyle magazine that covers art, sports and adventure. The magazine circulates 2.3 million copies per month in 10 countries with 550,000 paid subscribers.
While companies like Red Bull already dabbled in content monetization, the recent announcements from Mondelez and PepsiCo could signal accelerated adoption of this trend.
3 reasons companies are ramping up content monetization
There are several notable factors driving the growth of this trend:
Generating revenue to fund other marketing activities
Dollars generated from content monetization can be re-invested into other marketing activities. According to Laura Henderson, global head of content and media monetization at Mondelez, the fragmentation of audiences has resulted in higher advertising costs. The company sees content monetization as a way to offset increasing spend in other marketing activities.
"This is a really important part of our growth strategy in terms of increasing our investment on our power brands, those brands that are higher growth and higher margin," Henderson tells AdAge. Mondelez plans to monetize its content by selling distribution rights, advertising and brand integrations.
PepsiCo has similar aspirations with its Manhattan content studio. "The holy grail for me is to leverage the incredible power of our brands and their equities to essentially fund their own marketing," Jakeman explains, adding that some media companies have already approached PepsiCo's studio to provide content for them.
Growing dissatisfaction with agencies
Companies see content studios as a way to drive creativity—something that, some executives believe, can significantly add to the services agencies provide.
"I've been asking the ad industry now for years to evolve their model," lamented PepsiCo's Jakeman at this year's Cannes International Festival of Advertising. This dissatisfaction with agencies motivated the company to open its own content studio.
According to Jakeman, the studio will complement—not replace—the work agencies do with PepsiCo. While the company will continue to work with agencies, it will also commission some projects to its in-house studio.
Building better customer relationships
Mondelez considers content production as a necessary move to improving engagement with consumers.
"The audience is in the driver's seat choosing when, how and where to watch content," Henderson says about the need to create better content. "[Consumers] can skip ads, block ads and avoid ads in their entirety. Advertising is no longer an assumed part of the content consumption equation."
The audience is in the driver's seat choosing when, how and where to watch content.
The challenges with content monetization
Entering the content monetization business raises three important issues.
Creating content others will pay for
The jump from content marketing to content monetization is a huge leap for many companies. There's a huge difference between creating content that inspires people to retweet (think: Oreo's infamous "You Can Still Dunk in the Dark" SuperBowl tweet) and that which consumers or other brands will pay for.
This issue is one that traditional media companies know well. Over the past decade, the media industry has struggled to capture and hold the attention of an increasingly fickle audience. People have a world of choice when it comes to the content and media they consume. To attract a decent audience size and unlock new revenue streams, companies need compelling content.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Henderson says "if we stay focused on that guiding light of creating content that's good enough to make money, it is going to help us make sure we're producing content that people want to watch."
Creating pay-worthy content requires creativity. But more importantly, it requires deep audience intelligence. Content studios that want to charge for content need to understand audience motivations, attitudes and aspirations. Companies need to engage with customers on an ongoing basis in order to gain a deeper understanding of their target audience. Ongoing customer engagement can help spark creative ideas for new types of content to pursue and identify which content types and themes to avoid.
Deciding the right business model
As content monetization is new for many industries, figuring out the most effective distribution channels is critical. For now, companies looking to monetize content go about it in different ways. While PepsiCo decided to open its own studio, Mondelez prefered partnering with media companies.
Among Mondelez's first foray into content monetization, for example, is a one-hour TV special called Heaven Sent that promotes its Stride Gum brand. The show, which will air on Mondelez partner Fox, features a skydiver attempting a 25,000-foot jump without a parachute. Another media partner, BuzzFeed, will co-create branded, food-centric content for Mondelez.
Regarding the decision to partner with media brands, Henderson says, "We think that the content game is a really hard one and so we're focused on partnering with those who are best equipped to understand their audience and communicate in a compelling way."
Creating strategic partnerships is potentially an easier way to launch content monetization initiatives than opening content studios. But to find the right partner, companies need to leverage customer intelligence and find out which media outlets their target audiences already patronize. Without an understanding of people's media consumption habits, companies are at risk of collaborating with companies that don't have the right audience.
Companies need to leverage customer intelligence and find out which media outlets their target audiences already patronize.
Avoiding costly fails
Creating high quality content requires significant investment in time and resources. Companies need to spend money not just in producing content, but, in many cases, marketing and distributing it.
There's also the cost to the brand. If the content fails to resonate with its target audience, the company's brand equity could suffer.
That's why it's critical for companies to involve their customers throughout the content-production process. Investing in customer intelligence software like an insight community can help companies get new content ideas, optimize marketing campaigns and provide real value to consumers.
Customer engagement is key to success in content monetization
Content monetization presents an opportunity for companies to move content marketing from a cost center to a profit-generating machine. To thrive in this relatively new practice, however, companies need to get closer to its target audience in order to make important decisions on content, distribution and business models.

RJR ordered to pay up
A Minnesota District Court has ruled that R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. has wrongfully failed to pay the state millions of dollars it owes under the terms of the state's historic 1998 tobacco settlement.
In 2015, R.J. Reynolds merged with Lorillard, which also joined the settlement with the state in 1998. As part of that merger, R.J. Reynolds transferred the KOOL, Maverick, Salem and Winston brands to ITG Brands, a manufacturer that did not join the 1998 settlement.
R.J. Reynolds then stopped including the sales of those brands in its settlement payment calculations. The state sued in March 2018 to hold R.J. Reynolds and ITG Brands jointly and severally liable for continued payments on the transferred brands.
In entering summary judgment in favor of the state, the court held that R.J. Reynolds cannot shirk its obligations to make settlement payments by transferring brands to another manufacturer and that the plain language of the tobacco settlement requires it to continue to make settlement payments on the sales of brands it assigns to another entity.
The court also denied ITG Brands' motion for summary judgment that it had no obligation to make settlement payments and directed the state's case to continue against ITG Brands.

Unauthorized use of Freedom Benefits nameLeave a comment
July 1, 2015 by Tony Novak
A number of unrelated people and scammers have used the "Freedom Benefits" trademark over the years without our authorization. Most appear to attempt to build a connection to the good reputation of the real Freedom Benefits. For that reason it makes sense to periodically list the names of new firms that pop up who are not authorized to use the trademark and are not affiliated with us in any manner:
NOT AUTHORIZED / NOT AFFILIATED: Freedomcarebenefits.com
"Freedom Benefits is not affiliated or contracted with the unauthorized entities in any way;
The use of our name or trademark is unauthorized; and
Freedom Benefits will not accept any liability for any payments made to the unauthorized entities."

United States District Court, W.D. Kentucky, Paducah Division
November 8, 2019
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFFv.JIMMY LEON ABBOTT, DEFENDANT
B. Russell, Senior Judge
matter is before the Court on Defendant Jimmy Leon
Abbott's Motion for a Hearing Under Franks v.
Delaware and Motion to Suppress Statements Under
Miranda v. Arizona. [DN 23]. Fully briefed, this
matter is ripe for adjudication. For the reasons stated
herein: Defendant's Motion for a Hearing Under Franks
v. Delaware, [DN 23], is DENIED.
On May
14, 2019, a federal grand jury indicted Defendant on three
counts: distribution of methamphetamine in excess of 5 grams,
possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in
excess of 50 grams, and possession of a firearm by a
convicted felon. [DN 1]. During a telephonic proceeding on
October 4, 2019, Defendant's counsel requested a
suppression hearing which was then set for November 12, 2019.
[DN 19]. Subsequently, Defendant filed the instant motion
requesting a hearing under Franks v. Delaware and
the suppression of statements pursuant to Miranda v.
Arizona. [DN 23]. Given the upcoming suppression
hearing, the Court declines to address Defendant's
arguments regarding the suppression of statements at this
time. Therefore, this Memorandum Opinion and Order will focus
solely on whether Defendant is entitled to a Franks
merit a Franks hearing, the movant must make
"a substantial preliminary showing" that (1) the
affiant included a statement, either deliberately false or
with reckless disregard for its truth, in the warrant
affidavit, (2) without which there could be no finding of
probable cause. United States v. Pirosko, 787 F.3d
358, 369 (6th Cir. 2015). Warrant affidavits "carry
with them 'a presumption of validity, '" and
so the challenger's attack "must be more than
conclusory . . . ." United States v. Stuart,
507 F.3d 391, 396 (6th Cir. 2007) (quoting Franks v.
Delaware, 438 U.S. 154, 171 (1978)). That is, he
must point to specific false statements and then
"accompany his allegations with an offer of proof,
" usually in the form of supporting affidavits.
United States v. Bennett, 905 F.2d 931, 934 (6th
Cir. 1990). Moreover, "[t]he movant must also
show that the allegedly false statements were necessary for
the magistrate's determination of probable cause."
United States v. Mastromatteo, 538 F.3d 535, 545
(6th Cir. 2008). Thus, "if, when material that is the
subject of the alleged falsity or reckless disregard is set
to one side, there remains sufficient content in the warrant
affidavit to support a finding of probable cause, no hearing
is required." Id. (quoting Franks,
438 U.S. at 171-72).
Sixth Circuit has "repeatedly held that there is a
higher bar for obtaining a Franks hearing on the
basis of an allegedly material omission as opposed to an
allegedly false affirmative statement." United
States v. Fowler, 535 F.3d 408, 415-16 (6th Cir. 2008)
(citing United States v. Graham, 275 F.3d 490, 506
(6th Cir. 2001) (quoting United States v. Atkin, 107
F.3d 1213, 1217 (6th Cir. 1997))). This higher standard is
due to the "'potential for endless rounds of
Franks hearings' due to potentially
'endless conjecture about investigative leads,
fragments of information, or other matter that might, if
included, have redounded to defendant's
benefit.'" Id. (quoting United States
v. Martin, 920 F.2d 393, 398 (6th Cir. 1990) (quoting
United States v. Colkley, 899 F.2d 297, 301 (4th
Cir. 1990))). Thus, "Franks is generally
'inapplicable to the omission of disputed facts, except
in the very rare case where the defendant makes a strong
preliminary showing that the affiant with an intention to
mislead excluded critical information from the
affidavit." United States v. Shaffer, 238
F.Supp.3d 913, 918 (E.D. Ky. 2017), aff'd, No.
17-6492, 2019 WL 2929932 (6th Cir. July 8, 2019) (quoting
Mays v. City of Dayton, 134 F.3d 809, 816 (6th Cir.
In this
case, Defendant claims that Detective Bryan "knowingly,
with at least reckless disregard for the truth, included
false statements and/or material omissions in his affidavit
underlying the request for a search warrant" of
Defendant's home. [DN 23 at 48]. First, Defendant argues
that Detective Bryan omitted material items in the affidavit
regarding the credibility and reliability of the confidential
source ("CS"). Id. Specifically,
Defendant claims that Detective Bryan knew that the CS had
been arrested and indicted for trafficking in methamphetamine
and had been charged as a felon in possession of a handgun.
Id. Thus, Defendant claims, "Detective Bryan,
knew or should have known that he was not dealing with a
credible, reliable informant, but rather a criminal actively
involved in his own meth trafficking operation."
Id. In response, the Government notes that
"confidential sources are rarely innocent of their own
prior criminal activities." [DN 24 at 60]. Moreover, it
asserts that even if the omission of the CS's criminal
history was material, the remaining information in the
affidavit still established probable cause of Defendant's
criminal activities. Id.
United States v. Fowler, the Sixth Circuit addressed
a similar situation in which a defendant claimed that
government agents intentionally misled a magistrate judge by
failing to acknowledge the CS's "involvement in
ongoing criminal activity." Fowler, 535 F.3d
at 416. The defendant claimed that if the magistrate judge
had known this information, the judge would have doubted the
CS's veracity. Id. In rejecting this argument,
the Court noted that "the affidavit acknowledged the
confidential informant's criminal activity by stating
that the confidential informant had sold
methamphetamine" to the defendant. Id.
Moreover, the Court found that even if the agents did fail to
inform the magistrate judge of the CS's criminal
activity, the defendant was still not entitled to a
Franks hearing:
Even if the ATF agents had failed to inform the magistrate of
the confidential informant's criminal activity, such an
omission would not satisfy the second requirement for a
Franks hearing because the additional information
would have had no impact on the finding of probable cause.
The fact that the confidential informant was engaged in
criminal activities might make the confidential informant
less credible than a member of the general population, but
that is hardly a reason to doubt the reliability of the
information given to the affiant, especially given the
numerous indications of reliability provided in the
affidavit. Considering that "it is often people
involved in criminal activities themselves that have the most
knowledge about other criminal activities, " United
States v. Martin, 920 F.2d 393, 398-99 (6th Cir. 1990),
it is no surprise that most confidential informants are
engaged in some sort of criminal activity. It would unduly
hamper law enforcement if information from such persons were
considered to be incredible simply because of their criminal
status. Without more than a mere allegation that the affiant
failed to disclose the nature and degree of the confidential
informant's criminal activity, Fowler was not entitled to
a Franks hearing. Therefore, the district court
correctly rejected Fowler's request for a Franks
hearing as well as his challenge to the veracity of the
Id. Other courts addressing this issue have also
found that a Franks hearing was not warranted,
despite the fact that the affidavit failed to include
information regarding the CS's criminal history, when the
affidavit contained "other information suggesting that
the information was credible." United States v.
Jones, 533 Fed.Appx. 562, 568-69 (6th Cir. 2013);
United States v. Shaffer, 238 F.Supp.3d 913, 918
(E.D. Ky. 2017). For example, in United States v.
Jones, the Sixth Circuit found the following information
included in the affidavit suggested reliability: the CS
described the meth manufacturing process he had observed at
the defendant's residence which the government knew to be
the correct process, five controlled meth purchases
corroborated the CS's information, and audio and video
recordings from those purchases provided additional
corroboration. Jones, 533 Fed.Appx. at 568.
Likewise, in United States v. Shaffer, the court
found that the following information contained in the
affidavit suggested the CS's information was credible:
the CS's familiarity with methamphetamine and detailed
results of the polices' independent corroboration of the
CS's statements, including the defendant's prior drug
charges and drug evidence from a trash pull.
Shaffer, 238 F.Supp.3d at 922.
Court concludes that Defendant has not made a strong
preliminary showing that Detective Bryan deliberately or
recklessly omitted information regarding the CS's
credibility from the affidavit. Although Detective Bryan
failed to include information relating to the CS's
involvement in methamphetamine trafficking, the affidavit
contains other information suggesting that the CS's
information is credible. Specifically, the affidavit states
that the CS provided information that incriminated
themselves, thus referencing the CS's prior criminal
activities. [DN 24-1 at 71]. Moreover, it details the
polices' independent corroboration of the source's
information by utilizing the CS to make four controlled
purchases of methamphetamine from Defendant at his residence.
Id. at 71-72. Each purchase was visually and audibly
recorded. Id. Finally, the affidavit includes
information regarding Defendant's criminal history,
including violent felonies, felon in possession of a firearm,
trafficking in marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, among many
others. Id. at 72. Based on the facts included in
and omitted from the affidavit regarding the CS's
credibility, Defendant has failed to show Detective Bryan
deliberately or recklessly omitted information regarding the
CS's credibility, or that the judge was not reasonably
assured that the information was credible.
Defendant claims that Detective Bryan "intentionally
and or with reckless disregard for the truth, swore that the
CS had made a 'controlled purchase' of
methamphetamine from [Defendant] on November 1, 2018."
[DN 23 at 49]. Defendant claims this is a false statement
because during the "controlled purchase, " there
was no exchange of money. When the CS attempted to pay for
the methamphetamine, Defendant declined the money and stated
he would "front" the CS the narcotics until the
CS could get back on his feet. Id. at 49-50.
Defendant argues that if the affidavit had made clear that no
money was exchanged at this time, the judge may not have
found probable cause to search Defendant's residence.
Id. at 52. In response, the Government notes that
the United States Codes make it a crime for any person to
"knowingly or intentionally manufacture, distribute, or
dispense a controlled substance." [DN 24 at 61]. Based
on the plain language of the statute, there is no need for
money to exchange hands in order for a person to be convicted
of drug distribution. Id. Thus, the Government
contends, "the use of the word 'purchase' in

Local opera lovers are in for a treat when the next production from the current Met: Live in HD season releases on the big screen at Nouveau and select Ster-Kinekor cinemas. They will have the opportunity to watch South African-born soprano, Elza van den Heever, who stars in the virtuosic role of Princess Elettra in Mozart's first operatic masterpiece, Idomeneo, of love and vengeance following the Trojan War.
The production will be shown in Nouveau and select Ster-Kinekor cinemas from Saturday, 29 April, for limited screenings.
Elza van den Heever is joined by a stellar ensemble including Matthew Polenzani in the title role of the King of Crete, Idomeneo, with Nadine Sierra as Illia, Alice Coote as Idamante and Alan Opie as Arbace. This classic production from Jean–Pierre Ponnelle, which has its first Met revival in over a decade this season, is under the baton of the Metropolitan Opera's famed Music Director Emeritus James Levine. He also conducted the first Met staging of this opera in 1982.
"Here is the Met at its best. … [James] Levine conducts, drawing a refined and affecting performance from the great Met orchestra and chorus and an impressive cast" (New York Times). Matthew Polenzani gives a "poignant, gripping performance" (New York Times) as the king torn by a rash vow; mezzo-soprano Alice Coote "exudes noble passion and dignity" (Financial Times) in the trouser role of his noble son Idamante; soprano Nadine Sierra sings "with expressivity and tenderness" (New York Times) as the princess Ilia; and soprano Elza van den Heever "triumphs" (New York Times) as the volatile Elettra, who loves Idamante to the bounds of madness.
The opera was first performed at the Court Theatre (now the Cuvilliés Theatre) in Munich in 1781, conducted by the 25-year-old Mozart and starring the great 18th-century tenor Anton Raaff. Idomeneo is set in Crete, about 1200 BC. Helen, the wife of King Menelaus of Greece, has been carried off by Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, triggering the Trojan War. As she is also the sister-in-law of Agamemnon, several Greek kings allied with him have joined forces to lay siege to the city of Troy. One of these kings is Idomeneo (Idomeneus) of Crete. Having been away for many years, Idomeneo has, prior to his victorious return, sent ahead of him some Trojan captives, including Priam's daughter, the Princess Ilia. On her arrival in Crete she is rescued from a storm by Idomeneo's young son, Idamante, who has ruled as regent in his father's absence. The two have fallen in love. Princess Elettra, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, also loves Idamante. After Elettra and her brother, Oreste, killed their mother and her lover, she was forced to flee their home in Argos and has taken refuge in Crete.
Screening times for Idomeneo at Nouveau (Rosebank Mall, JHB; Brooklyn Mall, PTA; SK Gateway Commercial, DBN; and V&A Waterfront, CT) and select Ster-Kinekor cinemas are as follows: 29 April at 17:00; 30 April at 14:30; 02 and 10 May at 11:30; and 09 May at 18:00. All the ticket discounts and benefits offered to members of the Ster-Kinekor loyalty programmes, SK Club, Discovery Vitality and Edgars Club, do apply for the Met: Live in HD screenings, where applicable.
The running time of Idomeneo is 4hrs, including two intervals.

With these exclusive productions, Nouveau continues to give local audiences the opportunity to witness these spectacular 'live' opera productions broadcast on the big screen, in full digital projection, at various sites across South Africa.

Is it favouritism to protect an employee no one likes?
The Dominic Cummings affair shows the dangers of double standards, but it's also true that management isn't a popularity contest.
The disquiet over Dominic Cummings ultimately centres on double standards. It seems to many people that the Prime Minister is displaying favouritism to his special adviser, allowing him to get away with things that others wouldn't.
But there's more to it than that. The ferocious response of some MPs and the media has also been driven in some part by their dislike of Cummings himself. Cummings is a divisive figure, the architect of Brexit and a man who's left a fair number of bloodied noses in his wake (professionally-speaking of course. If in doubt, just ask former chancellor Sajid Javid).
There are parallels here with a common management conundrum. What should you do as a leader if you want to keep someone on your team whom no one else likes? When does protecting the individual from the group end, and favouritism begin?

Leeds set to double film and TV capacity with studio complex
The development of a major new film and television studios in Leeds is set to be confirmed next week.
Leeds City Council will vote on transforming the former Polestar Petty print works into 6 individual studio buildings.
The council will lease the site from Caddick Group, this will then be sublet to Versa Studios.
Versa is the Manchester-based group, headed up by Allied London's Mike Ingall. It also includes Versa Bonded Warehouse, Versa Church Fenton and Versa Ealing Studios.
The Leeds studios will be operating under the same All Studios name as its Manchester site - the recently redeveloped Granada TV building on Quay Street.
"This investment is a game-changing moment for the film and TV sector in Leeds. The sector has expanded significantly in recent years, so there is a real demand for more studio space to allow the industry to grow," said Councillor Judith Blake, leader of Leeds City Council.
"The council is supporting this by bringing forward a number of new facilities such as the Engine House and the new studio. Not only will the new space be of huge benefit to the sector, but it will also create a number of new jobs and bring further investment to the city."
Prime Studios in Leeds will operate and manage the studio complex.
This is a ground-breaking development that will transform the film and TV production landscape in Leeds. It means that, for the first time, Leeds will have a world class studio offer that will firmly establish the city as a leading centre for international production," added Ben Hepworth, Managing Director of Prime Studios.
"The film and TV industries in Yorkshire have been invigorated in recent years, with Channel 4's decision to locate their national HQ in Leeds further cementing our position as one of the most exciting and fastest growing out of London production hubs."
The council will meet on July 23rd, where the plans are expected to be rubber stamped.

U.S. Senators Portman and Markey Introduce Legislation to Fund Domestic Ebola Treatment Hubs
Article source: Ohio Hospital Association
U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) introduced legislation Wednesday to allocate funds to support the establishment of regional designated hospitals that can provide specialized care for Ebola patients in an isolated setting.
"The U.S. should be prepared to deal with highly infectious diseases like Ebola, and this commonsense legislation will ensure we have designated health care facilities that are trained, staffed, and prepared to provide specialized treatment to patients with infectious disease," said Portman.
According to the press release, Portman and Markey's legislation establishes a program through which the Department of Health and Human Services can distribute funds to assist hospitals that voluntarily seek designation as a treatment center. These funds would support the establishment of an isolation unit, appropriate and intensive training for all health care workers, acquisition of needed personal protective equipment, handling, transport and disposal of contaminated waste and other activities necessary to treat patients with Ebola or other serious infectious diseases safely and effectively. The legislation would also allow hospitals to apply for compensatory awards to cover the excess and otherwise unpaid expenses of treating a patient with Ebola.
On behalf of the Ohio hospital community, the Ohio Hospital Association appreciates Senator Portman's efforts to ensure hospitals are equipped with resources for ongoing Ebola preparedness .
"Our member hospitals in northeast Ohio responded swiftly to the need for quarantines and monitoring of Ohioans who were in contact with an infected health care worker who traveled to our state," said OHA President and CEO Mike Abrams. "Ohio hospitals prepare for all types of emergencies and provide necessary care for their patients and the communities they serve. Though Ebola is a uniquely dangerous disease, the emergency planning and activities hospitals and health care professionals engage in on a regular basis strongly position Ohio's health care infrastructure to appropriately manage this disease." - See more at: http://www.ohiohospitals.org/News-Resources/Newsletters/Health-e-News/U-S-Senators-Portman-and-Markey-Introduce-Legislat.aspx#sthash.DoyY0dYt.dpuf

Hair restoration surgeries can proceed safely in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) says. The organization has established suggested protocols for resuming hair restoration practices and offers patients guidance in finding hair restoration clinics deemed "COVID-protected facilities."
The ISHRS's general recommendations for practice reopening includes following members' national/local governmental health authority guidelines, practicing strict social distancing and using appropriate PPE, masking, and sanitation. ISHRS members are also advised to adhere to strict universal precautions for infection control and utilize comprehensive COVID screening tools and laboratory testing before patients can enter practices.
In addition, the ISHRS Guidelines for Patients Seeking Hair Restoration Surgery outlines recommendations to help protect patients from getting infected with COVID-19 and inform them of possible modifications that should be expected in hair restoration physicians' practices. Of importance, the ISHRS stresses making sure the patient's selected surgeon is the one performing the surgical steps of the procedure—rather than delegating it to unlicensed technicians or non-physicians.
"While in many ways COVID-19 has changed everything, the safety of our patients has always been a driving factor in our practices so the adjustments being made now to prevent transmission of this new virus are built on a strong foundation of controlling infection," says Spanish hair surgeon Francisco Jimenez, MD, FISHRS, president of the ISHRS. "The ISHRS COVID-19 Task Force has worked diligently to establish best practices in tandem with governmental guidelines to allow our members to safely reopen their practices and help patients struggling with hair loss find effective surgical and non-surgical solutions."
To combat the growing problem of fraudulent, illicit clinics performing hair restoration surgery on unsuspecting consumers, the ISHRS recently started the public awareness campaign Fight The FIGHT, which stands for Fight the Fraudulent, Illicit and Global Hair Transplants, to address the alarming problem of non-physicians illegally performing hair restoration surgery around the world.


text: Loading… When West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice stood close to President Trump for the duration of a marketing campaign rally in Huntington, W.Va., on Thursday to announce that he was switching get-togethers and turning into a Republican, it absolutely was a historic instant to the GOP.PoliticsWest Virginia Governor Announces He'll Change To GOP At Trump RallyJustice's final decision gives Republicans charge of 34 governorships tying a record established just about a century in the past. Democrats hold just fifteen governorships. (Alaska's governor is definitely an impartial). Republicans now hold so-called trifectas charge of a governor's mansion and both of those chambers of the point out legislature in 26 states (which includes Nebraska's non-partisan unicameral legislature which happens to be properly controlled by Republicans). Democrats have just six these trifectas. That is in addition to Republicans' full control of the federal governing administration. And in contrast to their D.C. cousins, Republicans in statehouses throughout the country can point to conservative coverage achievements this 12 months, like adding new restrictions on abortion, growing gun legal rights, weakening non-public and community sector labor unions and expanding faculty voucher applications. But a constellation of forces implies that this level of Republican dominance while in the states is brittle as well as in risk of shattering. Large participating in industry, unpopular president Perhaps the biggest reason Republicans are susceptible is due to the extent of their earlier succe ses with the point out degree. Republicans are defending 27 of your 38 governors' seats that happen to be up election between now and November 2018. And fourteen of people 27 seats will probably be vacant like significant, vital states for instance Florida, Michigan and Ohio largely resulting from time period limitations. PoliticsTrump Hits New Small With White Non-College Voters Whilst it can be as well early to tell how many races will be really competitive, it is probably Republicans will experience a good amount of headwinds. State-level elections have grown to be progre sively nationalized in the last twenty years as well as president's popularity might have a major influence on voter enthusiasm and turnout especially a problem using a president Joakim Soria Jersey as polarizing and unpopular as President Trump presently is. Infighting and overreach Years in power have also created problems for state-level Republicans. In Kansas, an exce sively formidable plan to chop taxes orchestrated by Gov. Sam Brownback (who's been nominated to a Condition Section submit within the Trump administration) starved the condition of money for its educational institutions along with other products and services. Kansas Republicans wound up bitterly divided in exce s of the i sue and before this yr, a reasonable faction sided with Democrats to override Brownback's veto and rescind the tax cuts. Similarly, a collection of tax cuts in oil-dependent Oklahoma still left the condition poorly prepared for the downturn in energy costs. Republican lawmakers were being forced to swallow their opposition and vote for tax hikes in order to continue to keep the state solvent. With Democrats all but vanquished in several Republican-dominated states, intra-Republican disputes have taken heart phase. In Texas, Republicans are divided among a busine s-friendly faction that prioritizes very low taxes and le s regulation and social conservatives eager to pa s one of the most conservative laws attainable, including a invoice restricting transgender acce s to bathrooms. Previously this 12 months, Florida Gov. Rick Scott was jogging campaign-style adverts against fellow Republicans within the legislature over a dispute about financial development cash. A mixture of voters sad with all the governing party's background and internal get together rifts that may engage in out in major elections, occasionally foremost to exce sive or unqualified candidates, could overwhelm Republican candidates up and down the ballot more than the following year.

Jim Justice announces that he's switching get-togethers to become a Republican as President Trump listens on in a campaign rally Thursday in Huntington, W.Va.Justin Merriman/Getty ImagesThe maps as well as the courts Following the Republican wave election in 2010, victorious GOP state lawmakers took benefit of that year's decennial redistricting to even more entrench their power, https://www.royalsside.com/kansas-city-royals/frank-white-jersey particularly in swing states like Wisconsin and North Carolina. Republican-drawn legislative and congre sional district maps in North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Ga and Alabama are by now in federal court docket because of worries about racial gerrymandering and North Carolina has already been purchased to redraw some of its districts.LawAs Phrase Winds Down, Supreme Court States It can Acquire On Partisan Gerrymandering But an excellent better existential danger to Republican dominance at the condition stage arises from one of the most significant Supreme Complaints of this fall's docket. Arguments in Gill vs. Whitford could identify no matter whether Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin were allowed to consider partisanship into consideration when drawing legislative boundaries. The Republican maps in Wisconsin https://www.royalsside.com/kansas-city-royals/trevor-cahill-jersey have been so formidably drawn the GOP won sixty of ninety nine seats while in the Wisconsin Residence even as Democrats drew more votes statewide in 2012 and 2014. While equally events use partisan gerrymandering to their gain, Republicans' dominance for the point out stage usually means the GOP has considerably much more at stake from a Supreme Courtroom final decision. Can Democrats capitalize? The flip side of Republicans' dominance is the weakne s of state-level Democrats. Heading into the 2010 midterm elections, Democrats had comprehensive charge of seventeen states as compared to Republicans' ten states. Democrats admit they've let their state get-togethers wither and wish to focus on rebuilding.PoliticsTranscript And Video clip: NPR's Exit Job interview With President Obama As previous President Barack Obama instructed NPR's Steve Inskeep following the 2016 election, "you've obtained a predicament exactly where there are actually not just complete states but also major chunks of states in which, if we're not displaying up, if we are not in there producing an argument, then we will lose." But Democrats have got a long way to go. A much touted effort and hard work to recruit candidates for this year's Virginia's Residence of Delegates elections has considerably elevated the volume of districts Democrats are competing in from 39 in 2015 to 67 nowadays but that also leaves 33 districts where by the occasion was not able to locate a prospect to operate. Nonethele s, when Democrats have not received any of your special U.S. Household elections so far this calendar year, they've considerably enhanced their margins even in deeply Republican districts suggesting that Democratic voters are really determined. Far more evidence of enthusiasm arises from the latest Quinnipiac poll which has fifty two percent of voters stating they like that Democrats handle Congre s when compared to 38 p.c for Republicans. Provided the GOP edge in congre sional and condition legislative districts, Democrats will most likely want popular sentiment to sway significantly within their favor when they are to po se s a hope of regaining electric power. It is really nonethele s fifteen months right until Election Day 2018 and many can however come about. But based over the landscape, it really is hard to see how Republicans can preserve their existing level of dominance.
