Refreshing Memory
- 1 General Principles
- 2 Thing to be Used to Refresh Memory
- 3 Reliability of Refreshed Memory

- 5 Using a Prior Transcript to Refresh Memory (Coffin Application)

General Principles
The doctrine of "present memory revived" is the manner in which a witness may refresh their memory.
A witness can use any document to refresh their memory.[1]
The key elements to the use of the doctrine of present memory revived is:[2]
- an independent memory of events;
- the inability to recall the memory; and
- the "thing" is capable of "sparking" or "jogging" the independent memory
In order to prevent the witness from exploiting this rule to "simply regurgitate" their evidence rather than actually refresh their memory, opposing counsel must have access to the item used to refresh memory.[3]
It will not be applicable where the witness simply states something that contradicts something that was made in a prior statement.
Refreshing memory is permitted by the doctrine of "present memory revived" which permits a testifying witness to jog their memory.[4] It is not the aid that becomes the evidence but rather it is only a mechanism to evoke the memory of the witness which produces the evidence.[5]
Traditional doctrine of refreshing memory permits a person to use anything in writing "made or verified by himself concerning and contemporaneously with the facts to which he testifies". Where it was not written by him he reviewed the statement when the facts were fresh in his mind and "he knew the statement to be correct."[6]
More recent views have suggested that a witness "may consult with any document while testifying. As long as the document sparks an actual recollection of the event recorded".[7]Given that the document used to refresh is not evidence and the ability for counsel to cross-examine the witness on their memory, "there is no reason why the document that is used as the memory trigger should have to meet the strict requirements of time, verification and accuracy. In other words, subject to an exclusionary discretion where the document may be inappropriately suggestive, a witness should be entitled to inspect any document in court to see if it triggers an independent recall".[8]

The writing may have been made either by the witness himself, or by others, providing in the latter case that it was read by him when the facts were fresh in his memory, and he knew the statement to be correct.") aff'd at 47 SCR 612, 1913 CanLII 3 (SCC)

Distinction with Past Recollection Recorded
Present memory revived is the method of "jogging" a memory and bring it back into the witnesses mind. The witness may examine a thing, such as a note, which has the effect of putting a memory into mind. By contrast Past Recollection Recorded permits the admission of a record that is a past memory reduced to record, regardless of the witness's ability to bring the memory back into mind. [1]
Present memory revived is separate and distinct from Past Recollection Recorded which is a form of hearsay. In the latter case, the document is evidence that the judge may rely upon.

Timing of Refresh
There's no need for the documents be contemporaneous with the events it documents.[1]
It does not make a difference how long before trial the refreshing occurs.[2]

- ↑ Cornerstone, supra and 13
Opposing View on Memory Refresh
Certain courts have interpreted the requirements of memory refresh as including the additional requirements that:[1]
- the record be made contemporaneous to the events that it records[2]
- it was written in the hand of the person who is testifying, unless it was read by the witness when the memory was fresh in their mind;[3]
- the record has not been subject to any edits since the time that it was made.

- ↑ see Gwozdowski, ibid.
Thing to be Used to Refresh Memory
The tool used to jog the memory can be anything (a sound, a picture, a smell, etc). The trigger is not significant.[1]
Any type of document may be used to refresh a witness's memory. It does not have to be a document written by the witness at all.[2]
Even evidence that would not be admissible for reasons including that it was obtained through a Charter violation, may still be used to refresh memory.[3]
Memory can be refreshed by any document. It does not matter weather than witness was the author.[4]
There is nothing necessarily wrong with officers reading the statements of other witnesses as long as no coaching is involved.[5]
Traditionally, counsel can refresh memory of a witness who is forgetful due to the span of time or "timidity".[6]
An officer does not have to maintain possession or control over his notes that he uses to refresh his memory.[7]
Even notes that are not accurate can be used as an aide-memoire.[8]
Timing of the Creation of Document
The document need not have been made contemporaneously with the facts recorded in it.[9]
Requirement to Produce
The record being used to refresh a witness's memory must be produced to the other side.
Where the accused is testifying, any record relied upon by a defence witness that is used as memory refresh must be produced to the Crown.[10] Using interview notes for memory refresh will constitute a waiver of litigation privilege.[11]

Privileged Documents
While as a general rule the document being used to revive the memory should be disclosed to the other side, this is not necessary in the case of a statement generated by the accused. So a statement made by the defence that is protected by solicitor-client privilege is not disclosable to the crown. If however the statement was purely created as a aide memoire then it may not be privileged. It is normally desirable for defence to make the purpose of the document clear on the document itself.[1]
Privilege in a document will remain in place even at the time that it is used in court to refresh a memory.[2]
Defence witness statements by non-accused persons are not generally protected by solicitor-client privilege.

- ↑ R v Parker [1985] OJ No 175 (CA)(*no CanLII links)
Reliability of Refreshed Memory
The credibility and reliability of refreshed testimony is determined by the trier-of-fact.[1]
Opposing counsel may cross-examine on the timing, reliability of the refreshing process as well as question whether the witness "had a present memory of events about which she testified."[2]
The court must be cautious when a witness is using documents to refresh their memory. Where the witness is relying too much on the notes for their testimony there is a likelihood that they are not testifying to their memory and are simply reciting their notes.[3]
Where officers collaborate on their notes that they refer to decreases the likelihood that the officer is actually refreshing their memory. This will inevitably go to the officer's credibility.[4]

R v Green [1998] O.J. No. 3598 (Ont. Gen. Div.)(*no CanLII links) at para 24
The procedure to refresh memory in the context of a prior recorded statement reduced to writing is as follows:[1]
- on direct examination, counsel should put the statement in the hands of the witness
- counsel should direct the witnesses attention to the part which contains the previous answer
- the witness should read it to himself
- the counsel may put questions to the witness referring to the previous answer. The witness may correct an error, agree or deny the contents of the document
The most important element is to ensure that the evidence is the recollection of the witness and not the past recollection found in the document.[2]
Certain courts found that it is not necessary to exhaust the memory before permitting refreshing it.[3]
It does not matter how long before trial the witness used the document to refresh his memory. Such things can be cross-examined upon and will go to weight.[4]
Generally speaking, statements should not be read in the presence of the any other witness.[5]
The "thing" used to refresh memory should not be put in as an exhibit as it is not evidence.[6]
There is some division on whether the witness only needs to produce his notes when he requires them to be refreshed.[7]

Using a Prior Transcript to Refresh Memory (Coffin Application)
Where a witness honestly forgets or cannot remember certain information that has been previously recorded under oath or in a written statement, counsel may show a copy of the previous statement to refresh the witness's memory.[1]
The ability to refresh the witnesses memory is at the discretion of the judge.[2]
A witness should not be permitted to refresh memory from a prior statement where the witnesses is merely being evasive.The preferred route would be through a s.9(2) Milgaard application.[3]
In such circumstances where the questioning on a prior statement is not for the purpose of discrediting or contracting the witness, which would engage s. 9 of the Canada Evidence Act, "the court has a discretion... to relax [the rule when] it is considered necessary in the interest of justice."[4]

Teams and volunteers that come minister in a variety of ways. The ministry of RTN has a two-fold purpose. First to share the Gospel and minster to the needs of the people. Second to make disciples and train others to do so. Please keep what you do very simple and reproducible. Remember, stay flexible! See below for details.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Many people in this area need help improving their English skills. Work with one of our ESL instructors, and help the refugees practice conversational English.
Backyard Bible Clubs
Backyard Bible Clubs (BBC's) are an hour and a half long event in an apartment community among children who live there. Often parents come out, however the primary ministry is to children. The optimal time is after lunch and late afternoon due to the make up of the community. BBC's generally consist of four things: Bible Story, Craft, Snacks, Recreation.
Bible Story – Because of the religious backgrounds of the children we ask that you consult with us before you decide what to teach. Stories need to be short and no longer than 8 minutes long. Storytelling is a creative art and can be done in many ways; drama, animation, pictures, etc. We recommend for larger groups of children to break them up into groups.
Crafts – Not a necessity but helpful in explaining the Bible Story or simply leaving something behind in the hands of the children. The crafts do not have to be elaborate but something the children can take home to remember the story.
Snacks- Snacks should be very simplistic. Kool-aid and cookies are fantastic! Please be sure to bring trashbags.
Recreation- Soccer, frisbees, water games in the summer. Again, very simple.
Cultural Assimilation- Refugees are given a 90 day crash course on American culture by resettlement agencies. There is often a greater need for further cultural assimilation. Cultural Assimilation consists of brief classes and seminars on adaptation to American culture. Classes are very basic and provide a way to make contacts and minister in a practical way. Classes can be taught on anything necessary but include: money management, furthering education, health education, ESL, cooking, tax preparation, do's and dont's of American culture. Please consult with us before picking a topic.
House Visitation-
House visitation includes visiting and ministering to new refugee families, following up on Gospel presentations, praying for families, and sharing culture. Take note that most families are very hospitable and will probably offer you food and/or drink. We encourage you to eat what is placed before you. In most cases translators will be provided.
Prayer Walking- RTN takes prayer very seriously! We are in constant need of prayer walking teams to come and sow prayers all throughout the city. Prayer walking teams are generally teams of three or four people that are sent into the streets, apartment communities, and other areas to pray for the area, people, and for those to come. We are constantly amazed at what we see happen as a result of prayer walking teams!
Creative Arts- Creative arts teams are typically teams that bring a special skill or talent such as puppets, 2music, drama. These teams typically work with a church or in the context of a Backyard Bible Club.
Other ideas are welcome, please consult with us first! You may post a question or comment below.

The CanBIM Innovation Spotlight: Annual Publication is now available.
Message From CanBIM President
In 2008 a small group of progressive companies came together to form the Canada BIM Council, or "CanBIM" as it is now known. Although these companies came from many different disciplines and were from across Canada, we all shared the common goal to steer our companies, our partners, and the wider industry to adopt new and efficient BIM/VDC processes and methodologies. We wanted to create a national beacon to attract people and firms from across the industry that understood the impact that new technology was having on our industry and how this new way of thinking would radically change the ways we work.

I went down to check up on Interplay's upcoming White Wolf game Hunter: The Reckoning, and it was uncommonly bright on the drive down... especially considering I was about to watch people slice through the necks of zombies in dark playgrounds, empty factories, and moody cemeteries. They turned up the air conditioner, closed the blinds, and pumped up the sound system to make sure that once Blood started on its messy red way, I'd forget all about this thing they call the sun.
The build is still pretty early, with the AI as a placeholder at this point, and details like some of the specific spells still being worked out with White Wolf, but the foundation was definitely there. How can you go wrong with the formula? Zombies and vampires have run amuck, and it's your job to kill them as quickly as possible with your long range and melee weapons, not to mention your special "Edges," or magical abilities. Comparisons to Gauntlet are well made, as the focus is purely on mass carnage, the enemies an onslaught, and the game focus on four player fun. It's a retro game with a beautiful new paint job, and a storyline worthy of... the RPG it's based on.
What Lies Beneath
People rarely talk about the fact that Hunter is actually a neighbor to Vampire: The Gathering -- at least it takes place in the same universe, despite the fact that two different companies own the rights to two separate segments of that universe. White Wolf's gothic World of Darkness includes vampires, zombies, and werewolves, all living invisibly beneath our "normal" world. We can't see them, or if we do they seem to look like everyone else, but in reality they're shaping how our world works, who's in power, and what we see. That world also contains Hunters, people who have been through such a shocking experience that they have gained second sight, the ability to see beneath to the real world that lies in shadow. Of course, who's going to believe them when they run screaming that their friend is really a vampire, or that the homeless man on the corner is actually a zombie? That's where Hunter.net comes in, a network of web pages that allow Hunters to communicate with one another, network, and keep track of the evil in the world. Second sight also gives Hunters special abilities -- some may gain magical "Edges" that allow them to use special powers, others may find themselves stronger, faster, smarter. One thing seems to connect all Hunters though, and that is an innate desire to stop the evil underneath the world.
Bad Town
Hunter:The Reckoning takes place in a small town, where four people witnessing an execution for a variety of reasons are suddenly "imbued" with second sight. They leave the town, vowing to keep it safe from future danger -- and are called back when the same prison seems to be taken over by an evil vampire, with hidden motives. Why the prison? Why this town? That's all part of the story that runs through the game, with twists and turns that will keep you slaying and playing until the end. You'll be able to pick from four different characters in the game:
- Duece: This tough biker is big on strength, slow on speed, and carries an axe and a rifle to help him do his duty. His axe in the game is being made into actual steel for a promotional video, but I was unfortunately a little too early to watch the PR guy sever table in half with the huge thing.
- Father Esteban: This priest is Edge inclined, with the ability to use powers to heal the party, to slow down enemies, or to fire off a cone of energy from his hands that slays anything in his path. He's the only one whose powers have been finalized, which is key since his character relies on them for most of his attacks. He's also got use of a sword and a crossbow as well, which used holy-water dipped arrow for extra flavor.
- Samantha: Samantha's the most balanced character, a cop with a katana and a revolver at her disposal, and the will to use them. She has a full length tatoo down one of her legs, and she'll let you look at it for a second... before she takes out your skull with a shot from her gun.
- Cassandra: This 20 year old raver uses her speed and quick moves to her advantage, not to mention her double knives and double pistols she whips out John Woo style. There aren't any screens of her, unfortunately, but the version we say has her complete with spiky backpack, weird rubber hat, fur collar, and super-short skirt, ready for the raves, or just right for kicking undead ass.
As we mentioned, the weapons and advantages of the various characters have been set, though the particular Edge abilities are only in place for Esteban. They demonstrated a few other abilities however, like a speed boost that caused some cool ghosting effects when you ran, and Demand, which boosts your stats for a limited time. Hunters use glyphs to speak to one another in secret, and in term of the game, glyphs will be hidden in the ground, and act as special points to recharge your health and Edge power. Your characters will also have special glyphs so that you'll be able to tell them apart in multiplayer.
As Brandon mentioned, you'll also go up in levels as you progress in the game, gaining more power as well as additional Edge abilities as you go along. It's not in the game at the moment, but the team is definitely focused on the action aspects of Hunter, so any level-ups will most likely be simple, and automatic.
Four for Fighting
The real fun comes in multiplayer, which will get you and your friends off your butts and wrapped around your controllers for a mass execution of the undead. Just like Gauntlet, you'll be able to jump into the game anytime you want, choosing a character and popping in for a little fast-action death. The camera at this point is manual, but it will be automatic for the final version, with a couple of view options available with a pop of the button. As you add players, the game will pull back the camera, and ramp up the amount as well as the power of the zombies on the fly to keep the challenge up. Your Edge powers will be color coded to your characters, and you'll all feature a colored glyph underneath your toes to allow you to keep track of who's who when things get hectic.
There are plenty of enemies to take out, as well. In the prison machine shop you'll see machine demons filled with details like metal bits, pipes, and gears, competing with prison zombies for the chance to take off your pretty head. Zombies with flamethrowing will keep you on your toes, while gun-toting rave vampires are as quick as Cassandra, and just as deadly. Twenty different monsters will appear to cause you pain, from creepy spider-like walking head to war beasts, giant brutes that can stun you with a pound on the ground. Right now the levels are looking solid and clean, and the enemies all feature smooth motion-captured animations that give them extra life.
The game's still pretty early, so it's hard to judge how this is all going to come together in terms of a game experience. So far at least, the foundation is securely in place, and the license choice is perfect for this type of game. Hunter is due on March 15, 2002, so the developer High-Voltage has plenty of time to tweak to its heart's content before the release.

I'm a working gal again. Yeah, that's right vacation life is over for now. I'm never hungry in the morning and always underestimate how much food to bring to work. I was sick of nuts by 1:00 and they were my snack. The orange taunted me. Now normally I would eat the crap out of an orange. However, the 21DSD is all about changing your taste. I can have one green apple, green banana or grapefruit per day. None of them being sweet, but more sour. After twenty-one days I should eat an orange and be like THE ORANGE IS AMAZING.
But it hasn't been twenty-one days. It's been one. So naturally I can only think about what I can't have. Now I haven't been to Hungry Jacks since I was literally 17. Ok, I have never been to an actual Hungry Jacks because they are called Burger King in the U.S. I'm craving things I don't even eat.
Exhibit A. Hersey's Sundae Pie.
First off, they don't sell them in Australia. Not even at Hungry Jacks,but it's all I can think about when I drive past the sign. Now that I've had dinner, I do not want it as bad or at least that is what I'm telling myself. Someday we should be able to 3D print food. You just search the internet and your pantry robot tells you the ingredients. Of which, you put in their slot in the pantry and BAM. Whatever you were craving has been created. I'm super tired today.
Luckily, it was Salmon night. A fifteen minute dinner solution, I topped it with a caper, olive, oregano smashed thing. Normally, I would take the time to look up the proper adjective but I can't be bothered. Penny and Duncan like Salmon too.
By the way, all of these recipes can be found here: http://balancedbites.com/21dsd
They are recipes I use all the time and the 21 DSD has all sorts of neat information. I'll go into it more when I'm not a zombie. It's 8:30 and I'm going to bed.

The laws of attraction are a motherf… Last Wednesday, I was playing middle man, doing my usual good deed to connect friends for a branding opportunity between a sneaker company and a rapper. The missing piece was Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire, who I hope will bridge this gap between music and fashion. My ears soon tingled when someone said "Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire is coming through." Seconds later, the man of the hour walks into WNYU's radio station. He's flanked by his manager and a camera man. The stars are aligning.
We proceed to talk like old friends. Family, rap, video games, just shooting the shit, along with frequent loud banter Brooklynites have between each other when they see eye-to-eye. Ex eventually shifts his focus on his interview for the Halftime Radio Show with DJ Eclipse, Mazzi (Soul Purpose), and Sucio Smash. I eavesdropped on their conversation which touched on the evolution of his career: going from underground hype, major label signing (Universal/Republic Records 2012-2013), to his current independent status. I've never see him more focused.
This morning, the first post on eXquire's Instagram is the cover image to his new album, Live Forever. He has an arrogant smirk on his face that says more than words can muster. It's a type of confidence Brooklynites carry. No one works harder than us; especially if you have West Indian heritage—Jamaican in eX's case—they're used to juggling more than one hustle. There is no chip on his shoulder, even though he is giving you his back. He believes he is "unfuckwittable" because his talent has never wavered. Then of course his namesake speaks for itself.
Peel back the layers of eX's album and you'll find the raw. He is at his most unfettered in content and delivery. I lost track of how many times he uses the "b" word. Past the expletives, there is spirituality and an infinite imagination, which brings me to the number "8." Today, marks eX's album release day, also my late mother's birthday. It's not a strange coincidence, just the way the universe intended it. He also pays homage to the late-great New York Knick, Anthony Mason, on the standout track, "Ice Cups." The Knicks won their first pre-season game last night. It's an appropriate time to celebrate on a Thursday. Today is the perfect type of Throwback Thursday: Instagram posts from yesteryear, moments that have never gone forgotten, photos that live forever in our memory's museum. We have artists like eXquire who dig into the past, and fertilize it with their own ingredients. The results just came into bloom.

Luxury watch label Hublot must have spent a small fortune bringing together football royalty – and soccer-mad Usain Bolt – for the launch of a new product.
They were joined by other legends from South America and Europe to add some sporting glitter to the unveiling of Hublot's first smartwatch, which coincides with the brand's sponsorship of this summer's World Cup.
The unveiling at Baselworld, the huge annual watch jamboree in the Swiss city of Basel, was the biggest celebrity event of the show.
That it was for the launch of a smartwatch was also significant. Because this looks like being the year when mainstream Swiss watchmakers accepted that smart devices will be a big part of the wrist-wearing future?
Some Swiss manufacturers have been making smartwatches for years, but in general the industry has been a slow adopter of the technology.
The products being launched at Baselworld, though, are not the traditional black-faced Apple watch design. They are hybrid devices, mixing traditional features with connectivity.
And whereas they were until now all powered by quartz battery technology, Frederique Constant has gone one better with what it claims is the world's first smartwatch with a mechanical movement.
In other words, the watch is powered by a spring, not a battery.
Many critics of hybrid watches find them a turn-off because the analogue part of the movement – the heart of the watch that makes it work – was quartz.
Frederique Constant's president, Peter Stas, did not hold back on the significance of the company's new Hybrid Manufacture watch. "It could be a revolution" for the industry, he says.
Priced at up to $3,800 it's not cheap, but the watch is aimed at traditional – and wealthy – lovers of luxury timepieces who are interested in also owning a connected product.
The Frederique Constant group also unveiled other smart devices at Baselworld, including the Alpina X, which is aimed at the outdoor sporty type. It has a UV sensor, another first, says Mr Stas.
And to prove the company is at the forefront of the digital game, the watch is being launched with a Kickstarter fund-raising campaign.
This is aimed at getting feedback from what will almost certainly be a younger consumer on the best features and refinements for future developments.
The Kickstarter move underlines a problem facing traditional watchmakers, particularly in Switzerland where most of the major global brands reside.
Sales among younger consumers are falling, with buyers either turning to smart devices or shunning watches entirely.
Apple sold 20 million smartwatches last year, about the same number exported by the entire Swiss watchmaking industry.
"Smartwatches are not going away; Apple is not going away," says Mr Stas. But he doesn't want to overstate the Apple threat.
"Hybrid devices are in many ways opening up a whole new market. They are for people who want traditional design plus something that is connected," he says.
It's possible Apple could one day consider a hybrid design, although Mr Stas thinks this highly unlikely. "Apple is moving in a different direction. The DNA is different."
Mondaine Watch also unveiled a smart range this week. However, chairman Andre Bernheim can't see smart devices overtaking sales of traditional watches any time soon.
"But the time is here when most of the manufacturers will have to have them as part of the product range," he says.
He also doesn't see a threat from Silicon Valley or Samsung.
"A watch with a traditional design evokes an emotion. Lovers of good watches are passionate about them. You don't throw away a good watch, even if it's broken," Mr Bernheim says. The marketing challenge for hybrid manufacturers is to convince buyers they are not just a gadget
The emotional link is exactly why traditionalists are sceptical about smartwatches. "For me, it remains a fad; a fashion I think will change," one small watchmaker told the BBC.
The country's famous watch and clock heritage is not just used as a marketing tool. There are still scores of artisans hand-crafting pieces prized by collectors and enthusiasts.
Nevertheless, for the president of the Federation of Swiss Watchmakers, Jean-Daniel Pasche, says it is important that the label "Swiss Made" becomes a hallmark of quality smartwatches as well as traditional pieces.
He says: "We cannot say that smartwatches have affected our market. It has created a new market and both can develop alongside each other. It is important that the Swiss industry is a part of that."
And although the traditionalists extol the artisanal qualities of Swiss watches, Mr Stas is quick to point out the smartwatch is a far from uncomplicated piece of machinery.
Adding connectivity into an already cramped space has taken years of R&D at Frederique Constant.
The movement and electronic parts are all made in-house at the company's factory in Geneva. The shield that protects batteries in the company's quartz smartwatches from magnetic interference is patented.
That Swiss manufacturers finally see the technology as part of the mainstream was underlined with the official launch of the first smart device by the luxury brand Hublot, part of France's LVMH group.
No expense seems to have been spared to promote Hublot's Big Bang Referee 2018 Fifa World Cup Russia watch (yes, that really is the name) as global football stars of the past were brought together to launch a watch that will have a limited run of 2,018 pieces with a price tag of about $5,800.
But it was a statement of intent from Hublot. The technology-packed watch, designed with Google and Intel, will be on the wrists of referees at this summer's World Cup.
Crucially for referees, the watch will be linked to new goal-line technology. But users will have pre-match alerts, goal alerts, and up to the second information on such things as red cards and player changes, as well, of course, as standard smartwatch features.
For a country whose watchmaking heritage goes back centuries, it looks like the industry is entering a new era.

Breast cancer is a subject I can relate to personally, and very closely. At one time, amidst the excitement of giving birth to beautiful girls, it was questioned whether I had developed cancer due to a rather large mass. Fortunately, it was removed and I'm fine, but that was a very scary time in the middle of a very happy time. A good friend's mother just had a mastectomy and is waiting to see what is next for her. She was sent home from the hospital the same day, but is having problems with drainage and healing.
If this cause is also important to you, please go to this site at Lifetime TV to sign a petition for longer mandatory stays after a mastectomy.

Party: Alena, Gorm, Samson, Parsa, Zebak de-Sumarr
NPCs: Brayne, Fosco Crumbuckle, Kael, Petrie the Gnome, Stupid Bird, Flomodin, Pazaal, Hegrein, Castamir, Gibraal, Sir Lionas, Mayor Gorel, Sheriff Colilias
The story so far…
Flanaess Years 567-575
Picking up five years after the end of the last campaign, the newly founded faith to Lothar, the god of Light, has taken the Flanaess by storm. It has become the fastest growing religion in recorded history and risen as a major faith alongside the other greater deities. The war of darkness was brought to an end through the combined efforts of the party and the armies of all the realms of the Flanaess South of the Shield Lands as well as the Al Karak Elam, newly emerged from their self inflicted isolation. The arch-lich Tauralathan slew the demi-god Iuz and took over his lands and power base adding it to his own. The death knight, Lord Mordan was re-imprisoned by Modianteous, the high priest of Lothar and his followers and Demogorgon was defeated with the Demongate closed thanks to the party. The Great Kingdom's reunification of the East was foiled when its Prince Argot was found to be a vampire lord bent on bringing the world under his rule and he was slain by the party's resident archer-ranger, Gazanfer.
When the war ended, all eyes turned towards the North. Towards the lands of Tauralathan. With Iuz gone, what were Tauralathan's plans? When would he strike? The armies of the South lay in ruins with the efforts of defeating Lord Mordan's undead and demon hordes. But nothing stirred in the North. Nothing. Scoutings returned no word of armies massing and no sign of an impending attack. In fact, all attacks had ceased from the North with Tauralathan seizing power there. With no threat pending, no doom about to befall the realms of good and just and victory in everyone's hearts, a tranquility befell the lands as people returned to their homes and began rebuilding civilization. Demons and undead are not an uncommon sight. Not all were slain in the wars, and a surprising number of demons both great and small fled across the continent once through the Demongate. They did not rally to their demon lord's need, and since they passed through the gate and were not summoned, they were free to do as they pleased. It is not uncommon to find armed groups of men and women dedicated to hunting down demons and undead. Often sponsored by local lords and in some major cities are organized through guilds. It is also not uncommon to receive word that demons have amassed under a single powerful greater demon. It is now taken with a grain of salt that both the demons or undead and the groups assembled to destroy them are needed and a part of life itself.
Flanaess Year 576 the month of Flocktime
Newly raised to a full fledged priest of Lothar god of Light, Alena was summoned by her elder, Flomodin and given the task of assembling a group to travel from Highfolk to Mineville deep in the Southern Vesve Forest to investigate rumors of people's loved ones returning from the dead and happily cohabitating amongst the living.
For this endeavor, Alena encountered and recruited completely by chance a grey elf magic-user named Parsa who was visiting Highfolk from his secluded elven stronghold in the Yatil mountains, and a halfling-for-hire named Fosco Crumbuckle from the Southern dales. Each was hired with the promise of 25 gold upon their return and given a stipend to acquire the supplies and equipment they would need along the way. Alena also gained a tiny gnome follower named Petrie the Gnome before leaving the city on the church funded expedition, but he followed behind undetected for many weeks. The group departed on the 9th day of Flocktime from the Eastern gates of Highfolk.
Reference the map of the Southern Vesve for locations.
Travelling through the Vesve forest, the group arrived at Flameflower, a thriving high elven forest town, by the 14th day of Flocktime to restock supplies and some rest out of camp. While there, they uncovered additional rumors and wary details about their destination. The grey elf, Parsa was of particular interest to the high elves of the village who recognized him for who he was on sight. Once hearing where he was headed, they insisted that he allow the accompaniment of a mute ranger named Brayne to protect him. Brayne's hometown was Mineville and he reportedly still had family there. He would act as guide and personal guard for Parsa until their return to Flameflower.
Departing Flameflower, the group travelled for about a day until they came across an odd scene. A man on his knees at a crossroads speaking with what was must have been a devil simply by it fitting the classic description. After seeing what was clearly a deal being struck, the group attacked unsuccessfully and was forced into a dialog with the devil whose name was Pazaal. Alena made it clear her disdain for the creature, but he offered his assistance in the future nonetheless should she call his name three times.
By the 19th day of Flocktime, the group arrived at Mineville and had encountered the community leader Hegrein, a wise woman. Strange things were afoot and all was eerily unnatural. Everything. No birds or insects could be heard for miles approaching the village and everyone encountered behaved in a peculiar manner.
The local temple to [[St. Cuthbert]] was boarded up and looked abandoned for years. Upon entering, the party found two priests frozen in chant yet still alive. In a hidden basement they found what must have been all the children of the village in a similar frozen state. Investigation and reading of the priest's journals revealed that a great evil had befallen the village. By the time the threat was recognized to be as serious as it was, there was no way for two priests to stop it. So they performed the Chant of Warding Against Infernal Damnation. This chant wards an area against any chaotic evil, non-Prime Material plane creature from entering and suspends those within in a frozen state to preserve them. It is considered a last ditch effort when all else fails and the innocent must be protected.
With the journals indicating that the mines were the source of the infernal damnation, the party decided it was time to investigate. Soon after entering, the party encountered Brayne's grandmother and grandfather who had both died twenty years previously. Both seemingly alive and well. One thing led to another and the party killed Brayne's grandmother only to see her transform into an acid vomit spewing and terrifying demonic hag. The party killed her after a struggle and escorted Brayne's grandfather along with 4 other survivors back to the temple where they would be safe.
The party returned to the mines a couple of more times, encountered more villagers brought back from beyond that turned into terrifying demon hags once slain.
Exploring some of the more finely hewn sections of the mines, the party found a deep pit and a horrible stench. This was clearly the defecation room, where the workers would go rather than heading back up to the surface so they could keep working. Peering down the pit, the party realized there was something down there. A brief conversation revealed that a minotaur named Zebak de-Sumarr had been tricked into coming into the mines by Hegrein. She told him, Castamir, the man he sought for slaughtering his tribe and mate and taking his unborn calf from the womb was inside. Alena parlayed with Zebak and gained his oath of fealty in return for helping him out.
Deeper in the mines the party found a room with hundreds of human bodies hanging from the ceiling. All of them had blood sigils of Nerull to preserve them from rotting. They also discovered a man named Gregory who was working in a room filled with barrel upon barrel of a black powder that he said was to be used in the great ritual of awakening. And incident occurred with some hag women and the party discovered that he black powder exploded when set aflame.
Further exploration revealed that the great ritual of awakening would set free the giant demon, Gibraal, who laid buried deep in the mine. Soon after this, the party witnessed a fleshy orifice in the wall partially uncovered emitting a human, dazed and incoherent. Without further investigation, the party charged and slew the Gibraal cultists and demon hags, released the prisoners being held in the room and set the place ablaze. Ensuring that the blaze would not reach the room with the explosive powder before they made it out of the mine. The resulting explosion collapsed the mine and ended the threat of Gibraal.
The party took the freed prisoners back to the temple and soon dealt with the infested village. Moments after defeating the cultists, three Knights of the High Forest arrived led by a high elf named Sir Lionas. The knights accompanied the village survivors back to their garrison before they would see them to the temple of Lothar in Highfolk to be cleansed of their demon taint while the party set fire to the village and left the area with haste.
Breathing some relief, the party makes their way to a nearby town called Tarkhog to visit the adventurer's booths and some local merchants. Long the way, they encountered the remnants of a battle site where bodies of goblins, two priests of Nerull and two Knights of the High Forest are found. Further down the road they find an unconscious woman tied to a tree. They untied her and carried her to Tarkhog with them, leaving her at the temple of Elona to be cared for. After visiting the adventurer's booths and getting settled in the Dashing Dryad Inn, the group reported to Tarkhog's Mayor Gorel (also the owner of the Dashing Dryad) and Sheriff Colilias the battle remnants that they'd come across not too far outside of town.
That night Alena and Parsa had nearly identical visions of a terrible ogre attack on Tarkhog that wiped out most of the inhabitants, and set the town ablaze. The next morning, Alena sent word to Elder Flomodin back in Highfolk about all that had transpired in Mineville and about her vision and intention to aid these good people. As the group was reporting their fears to Sheriff Colilias, Lt. Garfunkle the Brave stumbled into town, battered, weaponless and wearing smashed armor. He reported his patrol being attacked by many ogres at a nearby farm. They were responding to a survivor they encountered along the road and had little doubt that a patrol of heavily armed and armored knights would be more than a match for a group of ogres. What they encountered were heavily armed and armored ogres who worked in coordinated unison and with purpose. They were slaughtered.
As the party gathered supplies to go investigate, they encountered and recruit three new members of the party. Gorm, a human druid/elemental magic-user, Samson, a human fighter and Kael, a human bard. Gorm was hunting down Castamir, one of Iuz's old henchmen who now has fealty to Tauralathan and is responsible for the slaughtering of his entire tribe. Samson was out to make a name for himself and Kael was fleeing justice in from the free city of Greyhawk (but that's not what he told anyone).
Kael got off to a rocky start with everyone, slinging insults and attempting to kill Gorm's Stupid Bird. He even managed to be backhanded by Zebak before any hellos were exchanged.
Having gathered their supplies and new party members they set off to investigate the farm attack.
Continued in Session #10 entry.

Horses require a minimum of 40% forage in their diet. Traditionally this is provided in the form of hay. The quality of hay is therefore very important, low quality hay will have a low nutritional value and contain dust and mould spores, which are harmful to horses and those handling it. This can be overcome by soaking the hay, however important nutrients will be lost in this process.
Frieze Forage haylage is produced by cutting the grass in late May or early June when nutritional values are higher than in July or August when grass is often cut for hay, Instead of allowing the grass to dry out completely, the grass is baled when the moisture content reaches 30-35% and it is tightly wrapped with several layers of polythene to exclude any air. The haylage then ferments over a period of 8-10 weeks which preserves the nutrients and proteins and prevents mould or dust spores forming, producing a moist, nutritious and dust free forage for horses and ponies.

In Washington state, we depend on our global competitiveness. Trade – both exports and imports – paves the way for Washington-made goods and services to reach foreign markets, provides Washingtonians with products that raise our quality of life, and sustains family-wage jobs in numerous local industries.
International trade touches every corner of Washington state. Walla Walla wines are exported to Japan while Seattle retailers source clothes and shoes from Vietnam; Redmond software is used in France, Spokane lentils are eaten in India, and Everett-assembled airplanes fly around the world. It's no surprise that 40% of Washington jobs are tied to international trade!
Numerous trade barriers prevent Washington workers and employers from effectively competing globally and reaching their full potential. High tariffs (import taxes), unpredictable and discriminatory foreign regulations, harmful port policies, poor transportation infrastructure, and numerous other issues hinder Washington businesses' success.
The Washington Council on International Trade is the only organization advocating for policies and investments to address these concerns. On behalf of its members – manufacturers, farmers, retailers, service providers and non-profits – WCIT advocates for pro-trade policies and investments that benefit Washington's workers and employers.
Evaluate and share objective data on the impact of trade policies on Washington's economy
Educate our local, state and federal elected officials about the benefits of strong international trade policies and investments to Washington employers and residents
Engage diverse stakeholders from across the state to drive policy changes that help them succeed in the global marketplace

Lady Gaga's net worth on her 31st birthday
"Mother Monster" Lady Gaga turns 31 on March 28, fresh off her successful performance at the Super Bowl 51 halftime show.
Plans to celebrate this year's birthday have not been publicly disclosed, but past celebrations have run the gamut: In 2011, Gaga kicked fellow musician Adam Lambert out of her party for his raucous behavior. In 2014, she took in a Broadway show starring pal James Franco.
Whatever she does, Gaga has many "Million Reasons" to celebrate — most of which come with dollar signs. Here's a look at the international superstar's wealth from the start of her career to today.
Lady Gaga Net Worth: $275 Million
In 2008, up-and-coming artist Lady Gaga — Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta — scored a songwriting gig for an Interscope Records imprint. The same year saw the rising star lend her powerhouse vocals to New Kids on the Block for the boy band's comeback album. Although Def Jam Records dropped Gaga during this time, she was soon snapped up by R&B singer Akon for his Kon Live Distribution label.
Her debut album, "The Fame," propelled the singer to major popstar status. "The Fame" was only the first of many successful ventures for Gaga. Today, the artist's net worth is $275 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com. The international superstar earned $59 million in 2015 and $33 million in 2014.

Lady Gaga Music
Of Lady Gaga's six albums, "The Fame" is still the most successful, selling more than 15 million copies worldwide and earning her $18 million, according to celebrity publication TheRichest.
In 2011, she released her mega-hit album "Born This Way," which set the record for the fastest rise to the No. 1 spot on release day. The album sold six million copies worldwide and earned the singer $8 million. She went on to release "Artpop" in 2013, selling 2.5 million copies. In 2014, she paired up with Tony Bennett for the jazz album "Cheek to Cheek," which sold less than a million copies.
In 2015, two Lady Gaga songs — "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" — passed the seven million download mark, making her the only artist to have two songs reach this level. Her other top hits include:"Bad Romance"
"Born This Way"
"The Edge of Glory"
Her latest solo album, "Joanne," was released Oct. 2016 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated Nov. 12, 2016. The album has sold 435,000 units domestically.
Following her Feb. 5, 2017, 13-minute performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, Gaga saw a 1,000 percent surge in music sales, according to Nielson Music. The singer sold around 150,000 digital songs and albums that day alone.
Lady Gaga Concert Earnings
Since Lady Gaga's fans — nicknamed "Little Monsters" — can't get enough of her music, it's no surprise the artist's tours are a major contributor to her net worth.
Gaga's 2008 "The Fame Ball" tour earned $3.15 million, followed by the 2011 "Monster Ball" tour, which brought in $227.4 million. The 2013 "Born This Way" tour generated $168 million in gross income.
In early 2017, Gaga announced a new world tour for "Joanne," which will kick off at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. The singer — who will likely earn between $3 and $4 million for her back-to-back weekend performances, according to Billboard — filled the headlining spot after Beyoncé dropped out following her Feb. 2017 pregnancy announcement.

Lady Gaga on Screen
Lady Gaga has found success on the small screen as well as the stage. In 2015, Gaga joined the cast of "American Horror Story: Hotel" and showcased some serious acting chops. On "AHS," she played The Countess and mysterious owner of Hotel Cortez. The star's "American Horror Story" performance received rave reviews and helped revive her image after the much-criticized "Artpop" fail.
She is set to star in "A Star Is Born," a movie about an actor who helps a young singer/actress find fame, despite his own demons. The film, which also stars Bradley Cooper, is slated for release in 2018.
Lady Gaga Awards
Lady Gaga's talent as a musician and actress have earned her numerous awards. Gaga's music has won her six GRAMMYs, 13 MTV Video Music Awards, eight MTV Europe Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, three People's Choice Awards and an American Music Award.
Lady Gaga's performance in "American Horror Story: Hotel" earned her the 2016 Golden Globe Award for "Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television" category.

Lady Gaga Business Ventures
Not only is Lady Gaga a brilliant creative mind, she's also a savvy businesswoman who knows how to market her brand. The superstar has partnered with a host of companies in a range of industries to generate name recognition and boost her ever-growing fortune.
From 2010 to 2014, Gaga was the creative director for a specialty line of Polaroid imaging products. Also in 2010 and 2011, she served as a spokesperson for MAC's Viva Glam campaign, which raises money for the MAC AIDs fund. In 2014, the singer was the face of the Versace Spring/Summer campaign and also starred in the Japanese cosmetic company Shiseido's 2015 "Be Yourself" campaign.
After opening a temporary workshop at the store during the 2011 holiday season, Lady Gaga was featured in the Barneys New York Spring 2016 campaign. The popstar also has two of her own fragrances; "Fame" debuted in 2012 and sold six million bottles its first week and 30 million in less than a year.
In 2016, the singer's startup, Backplane — a social media platform for her fans — went bankrupt. Gaga had partnered with Google in 2011 on the venture, which was initially valued at $40 million.
Lady Gaga and Her Investments
On Valentine's Day 2015, Lady Gaga's boyfriend Taylor Kinney proposed to her in Manhattan, and the singer said yes. In exchange, Gaga received a heart-shaped platinum engagement ring — thought to be about 8 carats — worth an estimated $500,000.
The couple had been dating since 2011, when Kinney starred in the music video for Gaga's hit song "You and I." They later broke up in July 2016, ending their engagement. In Feb. 2017, she was linked with CAA talent agent Christian Carino.
Aside from creating chart-topping hits, Gaga has an affinity for the good life. In 2014, she bought a 10,270-square-foot Malibu, Calif., mansion for $23.5 million. In 2016, she reportedly bought the $5.25 million Hollywood Hills home of musician Frank Zappa, according to Variety.
Not surprisingly, the trend-setting Gaga has a soft spot for fashion. In 2012, she paid a record-breaking $121,758 for an Alexander McQueen gown at an auction from the personal collection of Daphne Guinness.

The other day we had a 3rd party complain about possible PR rank leaking issues from a link. PR rank leak is when a keyword is losing PR rank on a page or site due to an external link(s) on the site. I thought I would show a couple of simple ways to fix this possible issue.
The easiest way to fix this is by using
rel="nofollow" on your anchor tag. This will tell the search engine robot not to follow the link. since the robot doesn't follow the link your are fixing 99% of the possible issue this way. The reason I only give it a 99% fix is that Google still tracks where the user click through the Google cookie that is set every time you go to Google.
note: one might think that a simple JavaScript could delete the cookie, but I haven't yet tested to see if Google might find that as malicious code.
Fix this issue is using JavaScript to display the link with
document.write. Google has a hard time indexing Java Script content so this will help make it difficult for Google to index the content of the link.
Another way to fix this issue is by using JavaScript to display the link
onComplete. If you use
display:none; on the link until the page is loaded Google will most likely not index the link. This is because an old Black Hat SEO technique was to hide a huge list of links that only the search engine robots will see. To fight against this Google stopped indexing page content that is set to display none.
Last of all you can make the link an image rather than text so Google has less content to index the link with.

I started dancing and it was colour again. Now I realise that if I don't dance everything will go blank. A balloon comes in the window in colour. Now I think I won't have to dance again. And I don't. Now I am sure that I don't have to dance again. So now I go outside and start dancing with joy because I got to see colour properly

Wal-Mart's Health Care Plan Fails to Cover Over 600,000 Employees
Wal-Mart reports that its health insurance only covers 48% of their employees. Wal-Mart has approximately 1.3 million US employees.
Part-timers—anybody below 34 hours a week – must wait 2 years before they can enroll. Moreover, part-time employees are ineligible for family health care coverage. Full-time hourly employees must wait 180 days (approximately 6 months) before being able to enroll in Wal-Mart's health insurance plan. Managers have no waiting period.

Geographical InformationSystem GIS can be considered the core of the Interactive FacilitiesManagement Environment iFaME framework in managing different facilities onthe building bases. This study aims at building a comprehensive geodatabase fordifferent elements of infrastructure facilities and services on the buildingbases for a selected number of schools and developing a GIS-based iFaME interactiveapplication to manage different facilities at the school level in Kuwait. TheiFaME is a two-dimensional-three-dimensional 2D-3D desktop application. It isintended to take planners, decision makers, and maintenance experts inside thebuilding to provide an interactive GIS platform to manage, visualize, query,maintain, and update the database related to school assets and facilities. TheAutodesk Revit software was used to produce 3D building information modelsBIM for the selected schools. It provides accurate geometrical representationof the school building elements in an integrated data environment. The iFaMEapplication is integrated with the Revit BIM models and the STAR-APIC Elyx 3Dsoftware solution. With the development of the iFaME applications, the facilitymanagers in the MoE could establish greater control over the space allocationand management, asset management, emergency planning, and other areas offacility management. The school managers and maintenance engineers areconsidered among the most beneficiaries from this application. The schoolmanagers will monitor the maintenance activities all the time, while themaintenance engineers will use the application as a container for maintenanceorders, and on the same time to document what they accomplished on daily basis.The iFaME application will reduce the maintenance cost of school assets andfacilities in addition to increase their efficiency.

Swiss-based reproductive health start-up, Ava, has announced the birth of the first baby conceived with the help of its Ava fertility tracking sensor wearable.
US-based Ava user, Lizzie McGee, and her husband Sam welcomed their son, Jace McGee, on 11 July 2017, becoming the first confirmed 'Ava baby' born since the wearable's launch in August 2016.
The couple found out about Ava after struggling for over a year to get pregnant with their second child.
"The experience of conceiving our first child was really difficult and stressful on our marriage, and I didn't want to go through the same thing again with our second," said Lizzie, who conceived Jace after wearing Ava for three months.
According to Ava Co-founder, Lea von Bidder, Lizzie is one of over one-third of Ava users who purchased the wearable to aid in conceiving a second child.
"Secondary infertility is much more common than many people realise, especially in cases where a couple has started their family later in life because it's widely known that fertility decreases as maternal age increases," said von Bidder.
"Ava helps women optimise their chances of conception at any age by identifying in real-time her full fertile window, not just the day of ovulation," continued von Bidder.
Since its consumer launch, the Ava fertility tracking wearable has already helped over 500 women conceive. According to von Bidder, Ava users from across the US and Europe are reporting about 5-10 pregnancies a day.
The Ava wearable uses new technology to precisely detect the fertile days during a woman's monthly cycle in real-time. Worn only at night while sleeping, Ava measures nine physiological parameters including pulse rate, breathing rate, heart rate variability, temperature that, in combination, help indicate a rise in reproductive hormones estradiol and progesterone. The impact of the rise of these hormones on the physiological parameters is used to detect a 5.3-day fertile window in a woman's cycle.
Because users wear the Ava wearable at night and sync it with the Ava app in the morning, they are able to avoid the hassles, mess and invasiveness of other fertility tracking methods like ovulation strips and BBT thermometers.
An FDA Class 1 medical device, the Ava wearable was proven in a recently concluded clinical study at the University Hospital of Zurich to detect an average of 5.3 fertile days per cycle – in real-time – with 89% accuracy.
The company is also conducting clinical studies to adapt and expand its algorithms for use in pregnancy monitoring, and future use as a non-hormonal contraceptive device.
