Depth: 160 Feet
Wreck Length: 112 Feet Beam: 25 Feet
Gross Tonnage: 210 Cargo: Coal
Launched: 1862 by H. Rogers in Olcott, New York
Wrecked: June 1, 1893
Description: On the foggy morning of June 2nd the steel steam barge Corsica collided with the schooner Corsican off Thunder Bay. The schooner was nearly cut in two and went to the bottom instantly with its entire crew. The cabin and stern of the wreck are badly damaged with large sections missing and piles of jumbled wreckage above the deck. The wheel with steering box is wrenched upwards and no longer attached to the rudder. Deck hatches are still intact revealing a coal cargo, though the entire deck has collapsed into the hull. The bow windlass, still wrapped with anchor chain, and a capstan remain upright. Rigged spars rest atop the wreckage and in adjacent sediments.

Even if you're not an expert SEO, you know how important backlinks are.
They're the meat and potatoes of any SEO strategy.
And believe it or not, there are hundreds of link opportunities out there waiting for you.
You don't have to be a superhero to find them. There are no special skills required. You just need some time.
Here's the thing: There are tons of sites out there that desperately want to give out backlinks.
The problem? There's a severe shortage of high-quality sites to give links to.
I know from experience. I get dozens of backlink requests each week, but most of the sites don't match my quality standards.
Believe me, I love giving out links. But I don't give them out to everyone. A site has to be exceptional to earn a link.
That's where you come in.
If you consistently put in the effort to create an authority site, you'll get links. It's as simple as that.
You're probably wondering: "Where do I find all of these links?"
I've written several articles on this topic, but sometimes you need the CliffsNotes.
That's why I'm going to show you how to find a whopping 50 link opportunities in 20 minutes or less.
These are super actionable strategies, and they're the ones I've found to be extra effective for link building.
Find the authority sites in your niche (5 minutes)
"Authority" is somewhat of a buzzword these days, but it still holds a lot of power.
If you're looking to make a splash and drive serious traffic, you need to aim to get links from the big sites in your niche.
That's why I recommend starting out by looking at authority sites.
You know, one thing I see wrong with a lot of link strategies is a lack of ambition.
Many people act like getting a link from an authority site is like getting an interview with a celebrity. They think it could never happen in a million years.
But I have good news: That's not the case at all.
Just because a site is well known doesn't mean it's reluctant to hand out links to the little guys. In fact, it happens all the time.
You don't need to have thousands or even hundreds of readers to land a link. All you need is an awesome resource.
That said, start by making a list of the authority sites in your niche.
I like using Buzzsumo for this.
Type in a keyword related to your niche and see what sites pop up:
You can also do a simple Google search. Usually, searching using your focus keyword will bring up authority sites.
For example, in content marketing, some of the big names are Copyblogger, HubSpot, and this site (not to brag). Sure enough, when you search "content marketing," all three sites come up on page 1:
I'd also look at pages 2 and 3 since the first page can often be cluttered with featured snippets and media.
As a rule of thumb, the more general your keyword is, the more SERPs you'll want to look at.
Try to find 10 to 15 authority sites. Put them all in a spreadsheet.
You can also look for sites that aren't authority but have a wide audience. You can visit Moz's Open Site Explorer to get a sense of how popular the site is.
Pay extra attention to the site's DA, PA, and the number of total links. You can find them on the left side of the first box.
Why would you want to consider non-authority sites? Less well-known sites can still bring you benefits, and you don't have to be an authority to have a huge audience.
For example, when you search "content marketing" on Google, Duct Tape Marketing doesn't show up until page 11:
You'd probably write it off, but it's actually a wildly popular site, and it has great rankings in OSE:
So don't assume that the best sites are always on page 1.
You could spend a lot of time on this step, but you can also do this super fast.
I suggest that you spend about 5 minutes doing this and write down all the sites you find.
Check out existing links (5 minutes)
The #1 best way to get a link from a site is to find out what kinds of links are already on the site.
If your content matches what a site is linking to, you have an excellent chance of getting a link yourself.
But if your content is very different, you'll probably need to look elsewhere.
Finding outbound links and visiting those links gives you a solid idea of what a site is looking for.
There's no one right way to do this. I like to take a look at the last 5 or so articles and check out the links.
Don't just peek at the linked domains. Really analyze the links and the type of content they have.
Keep in mind that a site may not have any outbound links. This Copyblogger post has only one:
And this SaaStr post has none:
In these cases, it's going to be difficult to land a backlink.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's the truth. Not every site you'll find will be an opportunity to grab links.
That said, for every site that doesn't have many links, there are 5 more that are backlink hotspots.
So let's look at a site that does have several outbound links. Take this Backlinko post:
There are a few types of links in this article.
There's a link to a HubSpot post that gave Brian an idea:
There's a link to a study on clickthrough rates:
Finally, there's a link to Google Search Console:
There are only two more links, and they're both Backlinko posts.
Here's where you have to do some critical thinking. Brian's post clocks in at over 1,500 words.
And there's a total of three outbound links.
This tells you that Brian probably only links to sources that are incredibly relevant and data-rich.
If you check out some of Brian's other articles (like this and this), you can confirm that theory.
Particularly, he links to studies a lot.
So what does this mean for you? It means your content will have to be extremely related to what Brian's posting about.
And if you've published a legitimate study, you're extra likely to get a link if you ask for it. (More on asking in a little bit.)
That's why you need to study links.
For this step, use a link audit tool like Screaming Frog to find the outbound links on any page you find.
Copy and paste each link into Screaming Frog.
The goal is to find out exactly what kinds of links each site has. Then ask yourself if your content is similar.
If so, that's a link opportunity for you.
Run the sites you found through Screaming Frog and let it do its thing while you move on to the next step.
This will take some multitasking since you'll have to come back to Screaming Frog, but I know you can do it!
Overall, you should spend about 5 minutes during your 20 minute period.
Check for broken links (3 minutes)
You've probably seen this strategy over and over again, but there's a good reason: It works.
It's like the old saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
It's one of my all time favorite techniques for getting links.
Sites always appreciate when you notify them of a link that doesn't work anymore. And they're almost always willing to give you a link to return the favor.
You'd be amazed at how effective this is, especially if you haven't tried it. Simply letting a site know about a dead link and offering your link can be powerful.
Brian Dean calls it the Moving Man Method. No matter what you call it, it's almost every SEO's go-to link building strategy.
Find influencers in your niche (3 minutes)
This is similar to finding authority sites in your niche, but it's also very different.
Often, reaching out to influencers directly is more effective than contacting them through their site.
There are also different kinds of ways you can approach this. I'll give you two, but to keep everything within the 20-minute time limit, pick just one.
Option #1: Using Twitter suggestions. Twitter is a great tool for networking. In fact, I think it's the most powerful.
Why? It's a snap to follow someone on Twitter or retweet something.
Twitter requires little to no effort, and I've found that influencers are more willing to share content on Twitter than on any other social media platform.
But Twitter is also handy for discovering new influencers. The power lies in the "You may also like section."
This is a dead easy way of finding new people to reach out to. It also takes almost no time.
Here's how it works. Let's say you know an influencer in your niche. I'll use Jay Baer of Convince and Convert.
Let's visit Jay's Twitter and look on the right side at the "You may also like" section:
These are all people that Jay is associated with or people who are in similar niches.
Often, these recommendations are really accurate. Twitter makes these recommendations using an algorithm that take several factors into account:
These aren't always relevant, but I've found that about 80% of the time, they're extremely relevant.
So find the Twitter profile of an influencer in your niche and write down the names of everyone in the "You may also like" box.
See a company? That's good too.
But wait a second––it gets even better.
See the small "Refresh" text at the top right of the box?
That will give you more suggestions:
And you can keep clicking and clicking without getting many repeats.
You can record all of these suggestions in your spreadsheet.
In fact, if you really wanted, you could get 50 backlink opportunities just by finding 50 different people from this technique!
I like to change it up, but if this works for you, go for it.
You could also write down 5-10 suggestions for one influencer and then visit another influencer's Twitter. That way, you could get a variety of different people and businesses.
That's the approach I recommend, but you can do whatever works for you.
If you're new to finding link opportunities, I recommend using Twitter. It's simpler and more direct than the other two options I'm about to share with you.
Option #2: Using LinkedIn suggestions.
LinkedIn gets a lot of flak for being boring, but it can come in handy quite often.
It's another good option for finding influencers to connect with.
Head to your LinkedIn homepage and look on the right side. There will be a box that says "Who to follow."
This is extremely similar to Twitter's "You may also like" feature. It shows you influencers in niches you're associated with.
So if your connections are mostly in marketing, you'll see a lot of suggestions for marketing influencers.
LinkedIn's algorithms are a bit more general than Twitter's. In other words, you may not get influencers from a single niche.
But there's a way around this, and it's one of LinkedIn's secret gold mines.
At the bottom of the "Who to follow" box, click "View all recommendations."
You'll now see influencers categorized into niches like marketing and career development. There are pages and pages for you to comb through:
In my opinion, this is a lot better and more convenient than the small "Who to follow" box. You can zero in on a certain niche and find people and businesses to contact for backlinks.
If that's not enough, click "See more" at the bottom of each row to view more suggestions:
Again, write down the names of the influencers you see.
You'll get a lot of names with LinkedIn, but it's not always the most targeted. Twitter's recommendations are based on the current profile, whereas LinkedIn's suggestions are more general.
So if you want dynamic suggestions, use Twitter. The "You may also like" box will change depending on whose profile you're on, so the suggestions are usually more accurate.
But if you're after lots of people to contact and don't care as much about relevant suggestions, use LinkedIn.
Leverage existing backlinks (4 minutes)
For some reason, whenever I see articles about backlinks, they're all about finding new ways to get backlinks.
But if you're already getting links, why not take advantage of that?
If a site has linked to you in the past, it's likely that you can get more links from that site.
The best way to find out what sites have given you links is to perform a link audit.
If you don't have time, you can use Google Search Console to find your links.
First, enter Google Search Console by clicking "Sign in" at the top right.
Next, click "Search Traffic" in the sidebar.
Then click "Links To Your Site."
Now you'll be able to see all the backlinks that point to your site.
In your spreadsheet, write down the URLs for sites that have given you links. These are all ripe opportunities for you to get new links.
There you go––my method for finding countless link opportunities in 20 minutes flat.
If you get good at this, you can do it even faster.
It's easy to average 50 opportunities each time you use strategy.
Of course, once you have those opportunities, that's not the end of the story. You have to take action and get those links.
Often, I've found that the hardest part of a link building strategy is simply finding where all the good links are. That's why I've done the hard work for you.
The tips I've shared with you are powerful on their own.
But the real power lies in repeating this strategy.
Just doing this once in blue moon won't get you the results you're looking for. Try doing it a couple of times a week.
And if you have more than 20 minutes, that's obviously great, and you should take advantage of it.
But I wanted to show you that even if you only have 20 minutes, you can still find tons of link opportunities.
How do you find opportunities for fresh links?

|Dulce Rosa
Los Angeles
Review by Willard Manus
Once the coup succeeds, Juan kills the politician, plunders his farm, and rapes his daughter Rosa (Maria Antunez). Next thing you know, Rosa begins to fall in love with the now deeply-ashamed and repenitent Juan, much to the horror of her nanny (Peabody Southwell) and her newly-returned fiance (Benjamin Bliss). Rosa tries to break it off with Juan, but her heart (and the mystifying power of the Stockholm Syndrome) keep that from happening--with tragic consequences.
Despite its dubious ending, DULCE ROSA worked well as an opera, thanks to its melodic and impassioned score--and to the vocal gifts of its talented cast. Jenny Okun's video projections also gave instantaneous color and atmosphere to each of the opera's many settings, a dazzling accomplishment.
It is to be hoped that L.A. Opera will mount many more chamber works at the Broad in years to come.

Product Description
A Cut above the Rest
The Bentong wet market is no ordinary market of late.
Tourists are making a beeline to the market in search of the famous Bentong ginger, ginger powder and soy sauce in particular.
Lai Yoke Wan from Seremban, for instance, has good reason to opt for the ginger and ginger powder.
"I heard about the Bentong ginger. The ginger powder comes in handy when I rush to cook lunch for my grandchildren so that they will not be late for school,: she said.
Yoke Wan, 66, was among some 40 members from Seremban's Chi Hwa School Old Boys and Girds Association on a day trip to Bentong and surrounding areas recently.
Bentong, about 140km from Seremban, was their first stop.
Association chairman Chan Kok Sun, 58, said a tour company had recommended that they visit Bentong.
"We (members) had a meeting and decided to come here," he said.
Lai Peck Har, who organized the trip, said she found Bentong town and the market a bustling place.
"This is our first stop today and we are all excited," Said Peck Har.
The members who were waiting for the bus to go to their next stop were seen chatting happily, many of them seen carrying a plastic bag of the Bentong ginger.
A 45-year-old stall operator, Chan Kooi Keong, who is known as Ah Kam, Said there used to be only two or three ginger stalls in the market, but the number had ballooned to more than 20 since a year ago.
Ah Kam's mother Wong Chow Ngo, 72, has been selling Bentong ginger in the Market for more than two decades.
Ah Kam Said he was working in Ipoh before he resigned a year ago to help his mother.
"Besides using ginger for cooking, people nowadays also take ginger for its many health benefits," said Ah Kam before dishing out the many health benefits of Bentong ginger which he called "the poor man's ginseng".
The Ginger, he said, was grown in Bukit Tinggi near Bentong and priced at RM24 per kilogramme.
Ah Kam said the natural surroundings in Bukit Tinggi is conducive for ginger growing and that is why Bentong ginger is a cut above the rest.
Chow Ngo said her customers, including those from out of town, continued to buy the ginger because they could feel its good effects.
"It is good for blood circulation which is very important for health," she said.
Chow Ngo said her husband, Chan Kok Heng, 82, also took ginger juice for health.
"People, especially the elderly, will not feel cold after consuming ginger drink" she added.
Tour guide YL Wong 34, said Bentong was a popular stop nowadays.
She listed ginger, soy sauce and "sat keh mah" (a Chinese dessert) as among Bentong's most sought-after items by tourists.
Wong who bought half a kilogramme of ginger from Ah Kam, said she was getting it for a friend.
She said the Bentong stop had got increasingly popular since September, and she reckoned that the word-of-mouth advertising had also played an important role.
"We started from Seremban at 7am and our next stop is Raub," said Wong of their trip's itinerary.
A grocery stall at the market has the Bentong soy sauce with the "thumbs up" logo displayed prominently.
The trader, Lee Mok Sang, 45, attributed the surge in tourist arrivals to "Maju Bentong" – a project to promote the local places, products and delicacies.
It is a project by Bentong MP and Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
Like Lee, several other traders at the market were all praises for Liow for his efforts in making Bentong a better place for the people.
Besides ginger and soy sauce, Lee said the town was also famous for its kaya puff, tau fu pok (a type of deep-fried taufu) and ice cream.
He said the market was packed over weekends and public holidays and business was very good.
Lee, who has manned the stall for almost 20 years, said Bentong, surrounded by hills, is a cool and peaceful place.
Having stayed in Kuala Lumpur before returning to Bentong and set-tled down in 1995, Lee said living in the capital city was stressful.
He also forsee better times ahead for Bentong folk, citing the rise in tourist arrivals which brings more business opportunities especially to the restaurants and market traders as very good start.
- Bention wet market is a popular tourist destination.
- Bentong ginger, dubbed the poor man's ginseng is a favourite purchase at the wet market.
- Lee at his stall at the Bentong wet market. He says sales are brisk on weekends and public holidays.

Ok, here goes:
Today I am deeply appreciative that my car is running good, and I have money in the bank, and that I can go up Quick Mart and buy a Monster Energy drink and somehow come alive.
I am deeply appreciative of the wide variety of caffeinated beverages that will be available to me there.
I also deeply appreciate that my dogs are in good shape, I have most of my faculties (??- well at least some of them anyway), and my computer is clearly running just fine.
I do absolutely deeply - very deeply appreciate - running water, air conditioning, electricity, and the money to pay for them.
And oh, I almost forgot! I deeply appreciate that today is my "friday" and so I have one more night of work and then I am off for 4 days... wow... 4 days off every week... I really appreciate that too.
All in all it looks to me like life is good!

What am I thankful for?I am lucky to have finally found a very fulfilling job and be financially secure.
I have had very loving nurturing parents that were always there for me. They took me around the world and were dedicated to my education.
I had a strong nuclear family with my parents always together. They taught me to exercise and always eat healthy. I was very fortunate to have had a wife who loved me with all of her heart and it made me realize that only the good die young. I am happy to realize what true love was instead of just a facade and getting used.

And I am appreciative of my friends and loved ones who love and value me.

Today I am deeply appreciative that I have a roof over my head, air conditioning & plenty of food. I have a great family including a generous dad and 2 smart kids and I appreciate that they and all of my pets are healthy. I am appreciative of my loving, secure childhood with 2 parents who loved me unconditionally and told me I could do anything if I set my mind to it.
I especially thank the universe for allowing me to live this life and the opportunities for growth and learning, including being born in a country where we are free to love and worship freely.

Today, I am deeply appreciative that my health has improved, for my wonderful and miraculous meeting with Dom Cipriano, such an extraordinary and beautiful human being, and teacher, and for his healing hands and loving manner, his wisdom and kindness, and the time he gave me which is so precious. And for the amazing and guided discovery of the Oseopath, Dan, who put my spinal energies back in perfect alignment taking away the excruciating pains i was feeling, what a blessing! And for this wonderful and lovely city, Rio de Janeiro and the gift it is to live here in front of Ipanema Beach, and see the ocean as i'm writingi this.
I'm grateful (may i say that rather than appreciative?) for the blessing and healings, the clearing and the lessons, the love and guidance and support of Melekzedek (as we spell it = Melchidezedek), who loves me so, and has taught me so much. Thank you M!
I'm grateful for the friends and family who love me and accept all my faults and mistakes, endlessly and love me still!
For the lovely piano Julia (named for my beloved grandmother) who plays with me, and brings me joy and happiness, and the most profound feeling of freedom and love and connectedness when we play together.
I'm grateful for all the people who help me in my healing process, the doctors, masseurs, accupuncturists, and exercise professionals, who give me hope and encouagemnt, and of course a healthier world.
Thanks for these amazing times we live in, for the challnges that they provide, and for the gift that it is to live through 2012, and witness whatever's proficied!
I'm deeply grateful for the Love of Jeshova, and all the beings of love which guide and assist me in my life.
I'm grateful for my gifts of healing, and of writing, and of connectedness and all the other wonderful blessings that i've received and continue to receive always.
I'm thankful for the money that i have which allows me to delve deeply into the spiritual practives each and every day!
I'm deeply appreciative for the medicines which help sustain my health, in the physical realm, and for even the cigarettes who teach me the power of addictive compounds, and help me learn my weakenesses as I become free of them, and all others with love and respect, honoring them and blessing them as they go.
And I'm deeply graetful for my purpose, and mission(s), and for having been given this wonderful, simple, and effective program of Gratitude, thanks everyone who made it possible!

And thank you Mark for reminding me about being thankful...
Today I am deeply thankful for and appreciative that I have good friends and for the wonderful weather we are having...

Preparing for doctoral work
Students who may be interested in pursuing doctoral work in mathematics are encouraged to complete MATH 4000-4010, either MATH 4110 or MATH 4120, MATH 4200 (and MATH 4220 or MATH 4250), and some 8000-level (graduate) courses.
Students interested in applying to top Ph.D. programs should plan to take the GRE Math subject test (in addition to the GRE general test). Good scores on such tests increase your chances that your application will be noticed by admission committees. The Math subject test is offered in the spring and twice in the fall (for applicants in the US, it is offered in April, September, and October).
Dedicated preparation of these tests and practice is strongly recommended. A GRE practice book can be downloaded here. We recommend that you attempt the GRE Math subject test in the spring of your junior year, and retake it if necessary in September of your senior year (in 2019, the registration deadline for the spring session is March 8). The score on the GRE Math subject test will help you calibrate the list of graduate schools where you will apply. The mathematics department may offer a GRE Math subject test preparation class in the spring semester (specific section of Math 3220) if there is sufficient interest.

Wilson was the associate pastor at Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California and was transparent about his struggle with depression.
He was the co-founder of mental health charity Anthem of Hope and had a passion for helping people deal with suicidal thoughts.
Before his death on Monday evening he tweeted:" Loving Jesus doesn't always cure suicidal thoughts. Loving Jesus doesn't always cure depression. Loving Jesus doesn't always cure PTSD. Loving Jesus doesn't always cure anxiety. But that doesn't mean Jesus doesn't offer us companionship and comfort. He ALWAYS does that."
Following Wilson's death, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, Greg Laurie, said in a statement: "At a time like this, there are just no words. The Bible says, 'There is a time to mourn'. This is certainly that time."
He added: "Sometimes people may think that as pastors or spiritual leaders we are somehow above the pain and struggles of everyday people. We are the ones who are supposed to have all the answers. But we do not.
"At the end of the day, pastors are just people who need to reach out to God for his help and strength, each and every day."
Wilson's wife, Juli, posted a tribute to her husband on Tuesday evening.
She said: "I love you forever, Thomas Jarrid Wilson, but I have to say that you being gone has completely ripped my heart out of…

WHAT DO YOU THINK?- We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
What is your response?
If you are not a Christian, and would like to become a Christian. Simply say - "LORD Jesus, thank you for forgiving me of my SINs, today I am deciding to follow you. Accept me into your family, in Jesus name I pray. Amen "

Supreme Court of Hawaii
September 27, 2017
MICHAEL PATRICK O'GRADY, individually; and LEILONI O'GRADY, individually, Petitioners/Plaintiffs-Appellants,v.STATE OF HAWAI'I and STATE OF HAWAI'I DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Respondents/Defendants-Appellees, and THE COUNTY OF HAWAI'I; HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY; HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY; HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, INC.; HULU LOLO, INC.; and DOES 1-100, inclusive, Defendants.
G. Self and Rebecca A. Copeland for petitioners
Douglas S. Chin, Caron M. Inagaki, and Robin M. Kishi for
respondents State of Hawai'i and State of Hawai'i
Department of Transportation
RECKTENWALD, C.J., McKENNA, POLLACK, AND WILSON, JJ., AND
this court filed its opinion in 0'Grady v.
State, No. SCAP-14-0001363, 2017 WL 2464970 (Haw. June
7, 2017), Michael Patrick 0'Grady and Leiloni 0'Grady
(collectively, the O'Gradys or Petitioners) moved for an
award of attorney's fees in the amount of $15, 842.14 and
costs in the amount of $4, 815.17, pursuant to sections 662-9
and 662-12 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) and
Hawai'i Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 39,
against the State of Hawai'i (State) and the State of
Hawai'i Department of Transportation (DOT) (collectively,
Respondents). We grant the O'Gradys' request for
costs but deny their request for attorney's fees.
Attorney's fees under HRS §§ 662-9 and
O'Gradys contend that this court has the discretion to
award attorney's fees pursuant to HRS § 662-9 (2016)
and HRS § 662-12 (2016). Respondents oppose the
O'Gradys' request for attorney's fees, arguing
that under HRS § 662-12, "there must be a judgment
in favor of Petitioners against the State, " and that
"there has been no judgment" in this case. Thus,
Respondents assert that the O'Gradys' request for
attorney's fees is "at best, premature."
Further, Respondents contend that the fees requested cannot
be awarded as sanctions because "the State was not the
appealing party."
analysis commences with the statutory interpretation of HRS
§ 662-9 and HRS § 662-12. "Statutory
interpretation is a question of law reviewable de novo."
Boyd v. Haw. State Ethics Comm'n, 138
Hawai'i 218, 224, 378 P.3d 934, 940 (2016). The
established canons of statutory interpretation advise us to
begin with the plain-language interpretation of the
provisions of the statute at issue, bearing in mind that
"implicit in the task of statutory construction is our
foremost obligation to ascertain and give effect to the
intention of the legislature, which is to be obtained
primarily from the language contained in the statute
itself." Id. (quoting Estate of Roxas v.
Marcos, 121 Hawai'i 59, 66, 214 P.3d 598, 605
(2009)). A court may examine other sources, including a
statute's legislative history, in order to "discern
the underlying policy [that] the legislature sought to
promulgate" in the enactment of the statute. State
v. Abel, 134 Hawai'i 333, 339, 341 P.3d 539, 545
(2014) (alteration in original) (quoting State v.
McKnight, 131 Hawai'i 379, 388, 319 P.3d 298, 307
§ 662-9 states as follows: "In an action under this
chapter, court costs and fees as set by law may be
allowed to the prevailing party." HRS § 662-9
(emphasis added). HRS § 662-9 thus allows an award of
"fees, " which includes attorney's fees.
See Fee, Black's Law Dictionary (10th
ed. 2014) (defining "fee" as "[a] charge or
payment for labor or services, esp. professional
services" and includes "attorney's fees").
The amount of fees awarded by a court, however, must be
determined as "set by law." HRS § 662-9.
Accordingly, while HRS § 662-9 provides discretionary
authority to the courts to award fees to the prevailing
party, the allowable amount and the manner in which such fees
is to be calculated are governed by another source of law.
See id. HRS § 662-12, entitled
"Attorney's fees, " of the State Tort Liability
Act is a statute that "set[s] by law" the manner in
which attorney's fees may be determined and awarded by a
court under HRS § 662-9. See State v. Alangcas,
134 Hawai'i 515, 527, 345 P.3d 181, 193 (2015)
("Laws in pari materia, or upon the same subject matter,
shall be construed with reference to each other....."
(quoting State v. Kamana'o, 118
Hawai'i 210, 218, 188 P.3d 724, 732 (2008))).
In pertinent part, HRS § 662-12 reads as follows:
The court rendering a judgment for the plaintiff pursuant to
this chapter . . . may, as a part of such judgment, . . .
determine and allow reasonable attorney's fees which
shall not, however, exceed twenty-five per cent of the amount
recovered and shall be payable out of the judgment awarded to
the plaintiff; provided that such limitation shall not
include attorney's fees and costs that the court may
award the plaintiff as a matter of its sanctions.
§ 662-12 provides courts with discretionary authority to
"determine and allow reasonable attorney's fees,
" and it also governs the allowable amount of
attorney's fees ("twenty-five per cent of the amount
recovered") and the manner in which it may be awarded to
the plaintiff ("payable out of the judgment
awarded") subject to an exception (if the fees are
"a matter of . . . sanctions"). HRS § 662-12.
Reading HRS § 662-12 in pari materia with HRS §
662-9, when the plaintiff is the prevailing party in a suit
brought under the State Tort Liability Act, the court
rendering a judgment for the plaintiff may, pursuant to HRS
§ 662-12, allow reasonable attorney's fees not to
exceed twenty-five percent of the amount recovered and
payable out of the judgment awarded to the plaintiff. HRS
§§ 662-9, 662-12.[1]
interpretation is supported by Levy v. Kimball, 51
Haw. 540, 465 P.2d 580 (1970), which interpreted HRS §
662-12, and by the amendments to HRS § 662-12 that the
legislature enacted subsequent to our decision in
Levy. At the time that Levy was decided,
HRS § 662-12 provided as follows: "The court
rendering a judgment for the plaintiff pursuant to this
chapter . . . may, as a part of such judgment, award, or
settlement, determine and allow reasonable attorney's
fees which shall not, however, exceed twenty per cent of the
amount recovered." 51 Haw. at 543, 465 P.2d at 582
(quoting HRS § 662-12 (1968)). The State in
Levy argued that the phrase "as a part of such
judgment" in HRS § 662-12 implied that the
attorney's fees awarded under the statute would be paid
out of the judgment, not in addition to it. Id.
Rejecting the argument, this court held that "HRS §
662-12 authorizes the trial court to award an attorney's
fee up to 20 per cent of the judgment, in addition to the
judgment and not out of the judgment." Id. at
546, 465 P.2d at 584.
Levy was decided, the legislature amended HRS §
662-12 in 1979, as follows:
Attorney's fees. The court rendering a judgment for the
plaintiff pursuant to this chapter or the attorney general
making a disposition pursuant to section 662-11 may, as a
part of such judgment, award, or settlement, determine and
allow reasonable attorney's fees which shall not,
however, exceed [twenty] twenty-five
per cent of the amount recovered and shall be payable out of
the judgment awarded to the plaintiff; provided that such
limitation shall not include attorney's fees and costs
that the court may award the plaintiff as a matter of its
1979 Haw. Sess. Laws Act 152, §4 at 333.[2]
original House Bill-H.B. 1634, H.D. 1, 10th Leg. Reg. Sess.
(1979)--"would have repealed section 662-12 ... on the
theory that such repeal would discontinue the present
practice by judges of allowing attorney's fees in
addition to judgments awarded in favor of plaintiffs."
S. Stand. Comm. Rep. No. 861, in 1979 Senate Journal, at
1389. The accompanying House Standing Committee Report
Your Committee heard testimony that because the 20% award is
made over and above the judgment, it is 20% higher than would
be made against any other defendant. Your Committee feels
that there is no reasonable basis for such a differentiation
and finds that ...

Twitter beat Wall Street financial expectations for fourth-quarter 2018, but the company's stock fell on a weak Q1 revenue outlook — and after Twitter said it's going to stop reporting monthly user counts, in favor of "monetizable" daily active users.
The social network's Q4 revenue totaled 909 million, up 24% year-over-year, with video ads again representing more than half of its ad sales. It was the fifth quarter in a row Twitter reported a profit: Net income was 255 million, versus 91 million in the year-ago period, or adjusted earnings per share of 31 cents. Analysts on average expected revenue of 869.5 million and adjusted EPS of 25 cents.
For the first quarter of 2019, Twitter expects total revenue to be between 715million and 775 million (compared with the Wall Street consensus estimate of 762 million), with operating income of 5 million-35 million. That disappointed investors, with Twitter's stock dropping as much as 8% in premarket trading.
Twitter also is changing the user metrics it reports to Wall Street, and will report only "average monetizable daily active users," or "mDAU," in the future. That'spartly because its daily active user base continues to grow — while monthly user counts have stalled or declined, as Twitter continues to purge fake and other suspect accounts.
For the fourth quarter, Twitter reported 126 million mDAU, compared with 115 million in the same period of the previous year and 124 million in Q3 of 2018. Average monthly active users for Q4 fell 5 million sequentially to 321 million, which is down from 330 million in the year-earlier period.
In announcing the decision to disclose monetizable daily active users, Twitter said, "We want to align our external stakeholders around one metric that reflects our goal of delivering value to people on Twitter every day and monetizing that usage."
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey claimed the full-year 2018 results are proof the company's long-term strategy is working.
"Our efforts to improve health have delivered important results, and new product features like a single switch to move between latest and most relevant tweets have been embraced by the people who use Twitter," Dorsey wrote in announcing the Q4 results. "We enter this year confident that we will continue to deliver strong performance by focusing on making Twitter a healthier and more conversational service."
Twitter ended 2018 with over 3,900 employees, growing its global headcount by 16% (or nearly550 employees).

Learn the power of imagination
The great thing about fantasy movies is that they really allow us to take a deep breath, take a step back and allow our imaginations to take over. You may be thinking to yourself, "Doesn't this always happen with movies?"
You'd be surprised as to how didactic movies have become. In fact, ever since the 1990's, it's really gotten quite difficult to tell whether you're watching a movie or witnessing some sort of reenacted sermon. I'm not talking about the kinds of sermons you hear at church. I'm talking about something worse and banal. I'm talking about political sermons.
When you watch any kind of cultural product, there's always an agenda regarding what proper roles should be, how power should be distributed and how identity should be formed. This has always been the recurring mantra and that's why people's power of imagination has essentially been w. It's been compromised in the service of something supposedly higher, which is of course, some sort of political agenda.
It gets really tiresome. Especially if you are a very sensitive person. If you know what to look for, you can see programing all around. Depending on your politics, you might even be tempted to say that cultural products have always been programming us. But in the past, the programming has come from the right. You know, Ozzie and Harriet, Leave it to Beaver, The Brady Bunch.
When you deconstruct all those cultural products and line them up with the political and cultural struggles happening when they were released, you are treated to programming and mass brainwashing. A lot of people on the left would say that the pendulum has swung their way so now it's their turn.
This really is pointless, so I would suggest that when you watch fantasy movies, actively discount the political message. Train yourself to be completely desensitized to it. It takes some doing, but it can be done. Allow yourself to be numb to the philosophical enrichment of such material.
Instead, focus on your imagination. Focus on allowing yourself to be transported to a different place. Allow yourself to truly believe the premise of the movie. This really is your lifeline to any semblance of traditional entertainment and enjoying such entertainment.
Otherwise, you're going to get rocked back and forth by the same empty debate. It's like tilting at windmills. It gets old really quickly, but the problem is it seems that the agenda is more important than movies doing their job. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty simplistic when it comes to cultural expressions.
I truly believe that movies, TV shows, songs and other forms of cultural production should entertain and nothing more and nothing less. Call me old fashioned or traditional, but at least I know where I stand and it really boils down to exercising the power of imagination. Discount the agenda, focus on your imagination and you will have a good time.

The Psychology Society of the College Department of Pasig Catholic College, expressed their kindness and generosity to the poor through the 'Taste and See the Mercy of God' Feeding Program last Wednesday, 24 July 2019 at the PCC Main Campus (Façade). It was said that this has been almost a monthly activity led by the religious institute of the school, whereas, last Wednesday, it was supported and funded by their program.
At exactly 6:40am, Sister Nida Thorno officially began the program with an opening ceremony of catechism, marked by the gospel of Luke 11:1-13. For countless of times, she asked the beneficiaries how important a prayer is─ particularly The Lord's Prayer─ for each and everyone. The attendees remained quiet for a few minutes until one of them answered "Kapurian sa Diyos para sa kaligtasan." Sister acknowledged their answer then directly went on with her preaching, breaking down the parts of The Lord's Prayer.
Minutes went by and sister finally concluded her catechism with a simple quote, saying: "Maikli man kung pakikinggan ang Ama Namin, ngunit napakarami agad ng mga intensyong naiakyat sa Ama ni Hesus." At 6:55am, they recited their prayer before meal and had fallen in line for their food.
Abel Gallardo, the Public Relations Officer of Psychology Society, served the soup they prepared for the twenty-nine beneficiaries including some traffic enforcers and security guards outside the school. Everyone seemed to like the soup that some even went back for their second and third serving. The huge casserole emptied hastily, and the team, together with Ms. Unite, Psychology Society adviser and program head of the BS Psychology, Mrs. Docot and other faculty members went on to tidy up the place and wash the used utensils.
At exactly 7:20am after finishing up, the beneficiaries expressed their gratitude and went home together with their families and friends. The attentiveness and participation of Psychology Society made way for the short program's success. They may have woke up really early that morning and even came in with empty stomachs, but their hearts went full by feeding those who are in need. It was definitely a memorable and cherishing activity

The light fades from a star in the sky, its time has ended.
It burned brighter than ever imaginable, suddenly a flash of light streamed across the sky and then it was gone.
This is the second time in my life I have been lucky enough to watch a stars last moments, it was not less majestic than the first time.
It only serves to put a sense, a reminder of my own mortality.
If a star that has been around for an untold amount time, unanswerable by our modern technologies can fade to nothing then so can we.
Will anyone besides me ever think about that star?
Did anyone else see its final glorious moments?
The memory will live on, even if it is only with me, but that is all anyone or anything can leave…
A memory.

There are a lot of machines which are responsible for the processes in the industries and manufacturing establishments. These machines run on power. They would need to be fixed and well-kept and maintained if the production has to be continued for the future. There are also some devices and machines which make the use of the hydraulic technology for their functioning. The machines will suffer a lot if the water goes into the nooks and crannies of the machines in factories and establishments. The water will ruin how the factory or hydraulic machines and appliances will work well or not. So
Wayne Gretzky Canada Jersey
, there should be some hidden spaces where the water and some other fluids or even the dust. To secure the machines from this, there are gaskets and tight seals or covers for the machines.
The seals and gaskets are components that can perform a number of common adhesives and glues. The basic purpose of the gaskets is that the split surfaces and the hidden nooks and corners of the machines. The vacant corners and empty spots have to be sealed with some good components. These components are the seals and gaskets that would help to cover up the little holes or corners where the water and other fluids will go into or start leaking from. So, the gaskets have to be strong which will protect the hydraulic machines and other factory appliances from the leakages of liquids and gases from the machines. So, such essential components have to be used frequently for the machines which run on powers of gases and liquids as well.
The gasket manufacturers are making different types of seals and industrial gaskets from a number of materials. These materials include rubber, fiberglass and even some other materials as well. The gaskets are made in a particularly detailed method. The molten rubber or fiberglass is poured into moulds of different shapes and patterns. These patterns are actually the shapes of the seals and specific gaskets for the hidden spaces and corners in the hydraulic machines and other factory appliances as well. The pressure is generally put on the molten rubber or fiberglass when they are being poured over in the small shapes to seal up and cover the spaces which would be places of leakages and other such problems.
The gasket manufacturers use the latest methods to develop the hard and flexible gaskets and covers for the cracks on the surface or in the corners and crannies of the machines. So

, you should use gaskets for their right purposes. You can use the rubber gaskets for the hydraulic machines and appliances in the factories and industrial establishments.

EDINBURGH, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- Driving a taxi across Edinburgh on Wednesday with his comedy puppets and a big Yes sign at the front screen of the vehicle, Kenny Shuffler is making faces before the red traffic lights.
With just hours before the Scottish independence referendum polling on Thursday morning, more signs of Yes and No are witnessed on the streets and inside shops at the city center of Scotland's capital.
"I am definitely for Yes," Shuffler told Xinhua while waving the Yes sign to passengers on the buses alongside his vehicle.

, Shuffler referred to the word of "scaremongering," which was emphasized by the Yes campaign to criticize the No campaign strategy to stress the political, economic and social uncertainties if Scotland is independent.
Like Shuffler, the 76-year-old Samuel Wyper, who came to Edinburgh from his home 35 miles to the South to witness the atmosphere on the eve of Scottish independence referendum
Shea Weber Canada Jersey
, told Xinhua that he chooses Yes.
"We would like to control our own life and resources," Wyper said, expressing the belief that life for Scots will be better in an independent Scotland.
"I follow the Scottish National Party all the way as a volunteer," he noted, giving his predication that the referendum outcome will "absolutely" be Yes in his view.

Some street parties for Yes campaign with hundreds of participants are expected to be held in Edinburgh and some local communities Wednesday night.
Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond is scheduled to deliver his final message ahead of the referendum at a rally in Perth in central Scotland on Wednesday evening.
In Glasgow, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a final rallying cry for the No campaign, urging voters to tell nationalists to keep their hands off Scotland because "it belongs to all of us."

Support for "Yes" was put at 49 percent against 51 percent for "No" when undecided voters were excluded, showed the Ipsos-MORI survey for broadcaster Scottish Television channel STV published on Wednesday afternoon.

House Republican leaders did something almost unheard of Tuesday night: They whipped an abortion bill.
In a move that is usually taboo on so-called votes of conscience, the House Republican whip team circled the House floor during votes Tuesday evening, testing support for a controversial bill that aims to ban late-term abortions—though they were careful not to call it a whip operation.
The effort shows just how carefully GOP leaders are treading. They are not taking any chances after the bill was embarrassingly pulled from floor consideration in January on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision over concerns from GOP women and moderates that it was insensitive to women who become pregnant as a result of rape.
(RELATED: A Look at Late-Term Abortion Restrictions, State by State)
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will see a House vote Wednesday, after the Rules Committee late Tuesday night tacked on an amendment brokered by GOP members and outside antiabortion groups. Sources close to leadership were confident that the amendment, which strikes a controversial rape-reporting requirement and replaces it with a 48-hour waiting period, would smooth over concerns and glide the bill to passage.
The bill was pulled the first time because Republican women expressed strong concerns, and this time they were instrumental in brokering the new language. Acting as a go-between for members was Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who promised antiabortion advocates at a rally outside the Capitol the same day the bill was pulled that it would be reconsidered. She held the initial meetings with outside groups soon after the bill was pulled in an effort to reestablish trust with many who were frustrated that leadership had made their decision.
"She was deeply dedicated to the pro-life cause, but the people who were on both sides of the internal conflict have a great deal of confidence and trust in her," said Rep. Trent Franks, the original sponsor of the bill. "She was an irreplaceable factor."
(RELATED: HHS Says All Methods of Birth Control Must Be Covered)
Rep. Diane Black—a nurse—was instrumental in negotiating a final deal that helped find the middle ground between a rape-reporting requirement and no reporting requirement at all. Under the new version of the bill, women who are seeking late-term abortions from a pregnancy conceived through rape have to access medical help or counseling 48 hours prior to receiving the procedure, and the onus is on the physician to ensure that it happens. Franks described Black's proposal as a "turning point" in the negotiations, which had been dragging on since the bill fell apart on the floor earlier this year. Franks said Black personally approached him in the cloakroom just a few weeks ago.
"I would have voted for the bill with no exceptions. I'm a no-exceptions person. But there were legitimate concerns," Black said in an interview Tuesday. "We recognize that if a woman has a violent act such as rape, we need to be compassionate."
In some ways, being able to resurrect a bill restored trust in leadership among conservatives such as Franks. He credited leadership for not backing down from their commitment to get the bill passed out of the House, even as it stands very little chance of ever passing in the Senate—not to mention ever being signed by the president.
(RELATED: The Conservative Answer to Feminism)
"He made a promise and he kept it, and that around here is gold," Franks said of Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Other women who once spoke out against the original 20-week abortion ban because of the rape requirement said they were much more comfortable with the bill now.
"What had been an abortion bill had become a rape bill," said Republican Rep. Cynthia Lummis. "I believe this bill addresses that. My early concerns are alleviated."
While leaders were forced to pull the abortion bill from the floor before the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the new legislation will be voted on during another significant anniversary: two years to the day that former abortion physician Kermit Gosnell was convicted for conducting illegal late-term abortions, including killing at least three live-born babies.
In a nod to outside groups who wanted to see more protections for unborn babies, the newest version of the bill also requires that a second physician be in the room at the time of the procedure if there is any indication that the fetus could survive. It also includes provisions dealing with infants born alive during an abortion procedure, an informed consent form for women seeking late-term abortions, and a right of civil action against abortion providers who do not follow the law.

New to the league and looking for a few games to watch? A veteran of the league and looking to kill a little time? Here are a few suggestions for games that will be worth the price of admission. So to speak.
6:20 – Mt. Hoodlums vs. Ricardo Montalballs
Point- This is the most important game of the regular season for both these teams. Why? Tied at the top of Bachelor division, these teams have only suffered 1 loss each. The winner of this game has inside edge division title and most likely a #1 seed for the tournament. Both teams are playing fantastic right now, with the Hoodies now legitimately climbing to the top ranks of the elite, a place where the Montalballs have been for a while. This game could go any way, but I expect it to be very methodical in its pace and it really is going to be who executes their strategy the best. The Game of the Week starts early this week!
Counterpoint- I predict slow play at it finest. I also see a two way tie resulting exactly no change in standings. you will see 2 face shots as well in this game. 1 will result in a catch. These folks are going to be playing it tight here. As a spectator I feel the more chaotic the dodgeball the more enjoyable it is to watch. Structured play just isn't what I find exciting. Regardless, this is definitely the game of the week, and if you want to see methodical calculated dodgeball at it's finest, then check out this game.
7:00 – Boondock Saints vs. Dodgy $tyle
Point- Trap Game?! Dodgy $tyle is 2 games away from an undefeated regular season and they have a big match in their final matchup in the final week. If they look past this game, they could be in trouble. The Saints can live up to their name by giving evidence of a miracle and pulling this upset off. It will be extremely difficult and the Boondock Saints will need to be at the top of their game, but expect this one to be much closer than most of $tyle's games thus far.
Counterpoint- The $tyle is rolling strong yet again this winter. Going for yet another undefeated season, they have 2 last hurtles to overcome before entering the playoffs with a perfect 10, this week it's the Taints. Here you will witness a game of strategy vs.focus. Offense vs. defense. The style will bide their time while the Taints will look for an opportunity to make a move. There will be an intense battle as long as both teams bring their A game. If either team falters, this could get ugly.
7:40 – Slores vs. Team Abearica
Point- This is the big game for the Meadows division! These teams are dead even at the top of the division and it's time to create some separation between these two. Abearica has truly morphed into a good team this season and winning the division would be a very big deal to them. The Slores play solid season after season and they are once again challenging for their division title. Can the Slores seduce Abearica into submission or will Furry Freedom prevail?!
Counterpoint- Its a teddy bear picnic and the squrrills are serving up delicious gooey Slores. But wait, is the tender mallow getting stuck in the fur of the bear's ursine paws?? Or is it that the Slores are well versed in getting it done bear style? Either way there's gonna be a thick ropey residue.
8:20 – AARP vs. NSF
Point- The elderly fell from the ranks of the unbeaten last week, but one thing they have shown season after season is that these old folks actually can get up after they've fallen. No Life Alert needed here, but they better keep their eyes out for the youngsters of NSF. NSF, I have no idea what your acronym actually stands for, but I'm pretty sure it's not the National Science Foundation. Your arms will need more than brute strength to overcome the experience of your elders and I have a feeling you will definitely know what AARP stands for after this game.
Counterpoint- Seriously, AARP can whoop some ass when they want to. With centuries of life experience, this venerable group can summon up the might of the ages to play some serious dodgeball.What the hell does NSF stand for? It's gotta be either ''non sufficient funds'' or ''non sexual friendly''. Answers people, I want answers! You know these NSF kids are gonna bring it hard, I just hope that they bring enough bullets to finish the job.
