Specializing in Foot & Ankle Surgery, Lower Extremity Trauma & Reconstruction, Sports Medicine, Podiatric Care
I am a native of Queens, New York, where I was raised by my father, a police officer, and mother, an emergency room nurse. After hearing stories of patient encounters from my mother, I knew that a career in medicine was the path I wanted. After suffering an ankle injury while playing college football at Johns Hopkins University, I met with a podiatric surgeon. After being a patient and ultimately shadowing several podiatrists, I felt that this specialty was my calling. I completed medical school at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, where I graduated as the president of the Pi Delta National Honor Society. I completed my residency in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery with Reconstructive Rearfoot and Ankle accreditation at Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, NJ, where I served as chief resident in my final year. I completed my fellowship with the Foot & Ankle Specialists of Ohio, where I specialized in lower extremity deformity and reconstructive surgery. I am excited to serve Wayne and Holmes County communities and helping its members maintain a healthy lifestyle. The foot and ankle serves as our base, and I want to make sure that I can keep my patients moving and enjoying their lives.

such a campaign your meat ration will be taken on the hoof, and you need only sugar and coffee, flour (or hard bread), and salt to be transported in your wagons. Celerity of movement, as I need not suggest to you, is all-important on such expeditions; with much infantry and large wagon-trains, this would be next to impossible. Please make every arrangement to move at the earliest moment, and I call your attention again to an increase of the cavalry force. You will have to mount some of your infantry for the purpose, but as the main object is to transport your forces with the greatest rapidity from one point to another, this arrangement will answer. In have endeavored to have some disposition made of the prisoners, so as to relieve the military of any charge of them, but, so far, unsuccessful. I will write again to the Government, and send your letter. Please write me fully, and give me all possible information concerning the Chippewas. I will write you fully as soon as full preparations are made for the campaign.
Very respectfully, and truly, yours,
Major- General, Commanding.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., February 18, 1863.
Major- General CURTIS:
We are now sending 50 miles north and west of this place for forage, and our teams are being rapidly worn out by this immense labor. I must move my entire command at least 50 miles north from here, or else cross White River as soon as possible. I am decidedly in favor of the latter, and do not see any danger in such a move. Two weeks more delay will place my command about 100 miles from Forsyth in the wrong direction. If you insist upon longer delay, I must, of course, submit, but I deem it my duty to give you the facts as clearly as possible, and my views of what should be done. Even now it will be very difficult to collect forage enough to last while crossing the river and reaching the nearest forage beyond. When it shall all be gone for a distance of 80 or 100 miles from Forsyth, you can easily estimate the practicability of that route. The move now is barely possible. A short time hence it will cost more mules than I have with the army.
Major- General.
Milwaukee, Wis., February 18, 1863.
Colonel J. C. KELTON,
Assistant Adjutant- General, Headquarters of the Army:
COLONEL: I have the honor to state, for the information of the General-in Chief, that reports from General Sibley, from the Indian agents,and from other respectable persons on the frontier have ben received here, and these reports all concur in representing that extensive preparations and combinations are being made among the Sioux for a renewal of hostilities in the spring. Little Crow, it is stated, has succeeded in uniting several of the bands of the Upper Sioux, and that as many as 7,000 warriors will be brought into the field as soon as the spring fairly opens. This number is perhaps overestimated, but all indications point to some serious and extensive operations against the

Black Lives Matter
Yodeling, long practised in the Swiss Alps and beyond, as a way to communicate over vast distances, is a singing technique that involves rapid undulations from a low to high pitch. If you think it's easy to do, think again.
Now, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts is offering a three-year Bachelor's course or a two-year Master's in yodeling, so you can become a bonafied, er, yodeler. You won't just learn the art of yodeling; students will also be required to delve into its fascinating history and use throughout the ages. And there's advice on how to make a living from yodeling.
Nadja Räss, an award-winning Swiss yodeling aficionado, and Sarah Buechi will lead the courses that begin in autumn 2018.
"In addition to having a good vocal technique, they need to know different styles and tone of voice to expand their repertoire," Räss explained to the Tribune de Genève. "The whole yodel scene will take advantage of their new skills."
She may think she is doing the resurgent yodel scene a favour, but some yodelers aren't that impressed. "University studies have not been necessary to keep the yodel alive for decades," says the head of the National Federation of Yodeling.
Places are tight during the course's first year and only a handful of wannabe yodelers will be able to take part in this rather unorthodox degree programme. Applications open on 28 February.
If you want to experience the best of yodeling, without committing yourself to learning it officially, you could always check out the annual Yodel Fest that takes place in Switzerland every year.

PROVO, Utah — Many purposes for the coming forth of the Book of Mormon are identified in its text, but the central purpose, "to the convincing of Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the eternal God," is found on its title page, Shon D. Hopkin, assistant professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University, pointed out Oct. 24 at the 44th Annual Sidney B. Sperry Symposium on the university campus.
He discussed each of the components in turn of that stated purpose.
"What does the Book of Mormon mean when it says Jesus is the Christ?" he asked.
"The text contains approximately 100 different titles for Jesus in some 530 pages," he said. "That is significant. It uses the given name Jesus approximately 70 times in those 530 pages and the title Christ almost 400 times."
He noted that Christ is the Greek equivalent of the word derived from the Hebrew, Messiah. He said the writings in the Book of Mormon are clear about the kind of messiah the people should expect.
Unlike Jews in Jerusalem, "the Nephite prophets knew their Messiah not as a powerful leader who would restore their political hopes, but as the Redeemer, as the Savior of the world," he said. "They placed their future hopes for salvation squarely in Him. The Book of Mormon prophets desired not simply to testify that Jesus is the Christ. They wanted those who heard and read their words to know that Jesus the Messiah would save them from their sins — would save us from our sins if we put our trust in Him."
Brother Hopkin said there is reason why the Nephite teachings are so much more pointed and clear than those in the Old Testament.
"Nephi explained … that he saw the loss of many plain and precious things from the Biblical record, that there would be a loss in the transmission of those records from person to person, from generation to generation," he said, alluding to the visions the prophet Nephi experienced.
"Perhaps the greatest influence on the Christ-centered teachings of the Book of Mormon, though, is the book's future-oriented nature," he said. "This point cannot be over-emphasized: The book looks to the future and talks primarily to future audiences. The main Nephite prophet writers of the Book of Mormon — Nephi, Mormon and Moroni — saw our day and wrote directly to modern readers, anticipating their most pressing needs, the best ways to reach them, how to talk to them."
He addressed the question of what the Book of Mormon means by "Jew and Gentile." Brother Hopkin said the term Jews refers to the Jews at Jerusalem and their descendants who would reject Jesus as the Messiah and would be scattered in all the world.
The Gentiles are those led by God to the Americas and "they are those who would persecute or will persecute the descendants of the Jews and the descendants of the Lamanites, who would live in a day of wickedness and apostasy and would receive the fullness of the gospel and carry the Book of Mormon to others."
He said the three groups together — Jews, Gentiles and the descendants of the Lamanites and Nephites — together constitute all mankind.
Brother Hopkin said many Bible scholars today reflect in their writings that the identity of Jesus is becoming obscured, some suggesting he was a simple peasant reformer, a "cynic philosopher," or a magician.
"These are intelligent people who are looking at the text and saying, 'We've got challenges here; how do I understand what is going on?' " Brother Hopkin said. "The Book of Mormon fills that gap. Its message was designed by ancient authors to provide precisely the type of support for you and I and the world to clarify and strengthen the Biblical message of Jesus as the divine Son of God."
Brother Hopkin declared, "There is no space in the Book of Mormon for any debate over His identity. He is the Son of God; He is the Savior of the world. He is not a mighty war hero, he is not a magician, he is not a peasant revolutionary, he is not a philosopher or simply a great moral teacher, although He may have portions of all of those things.
"Book of Mormon prophets learned of Jesus' identity through vision and revelation. Their witness would either be believed or disbelieved by future readers, but their witness leaves no room to be misunderstood."

Submitted by The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary San Juan Islands Detachment
The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary San Juan Islands Detachment is partnering with Washington State public safety professionals May 19-25 for National Safe Boating Week to urge everyone to safely enjoy the natural beauty of the beautiful water.
A simple, fast and easy way to dramatically reduce water deaths is to simply wear your life jacket. In Washington last year, there were 109 reported boating accidents resulting in 15 fatalities and 51 injuries. Of those 15 tragic deaths, 73 percent were not wearing a life jacket. The U.S. Coast Guard estimates wearing a life jacket could prevent more than 80 percent of boating fatalities.
The only life jacket that will save your life is the one you wear. Life jackets are more comfortable, lightweight and come in styles for every boating and water activity.
Make sure your life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard approved, fits properly and is rated for your size and weight.
Washington state law requires children age 12 and younger are required to wear a lifejacket at all times. Remember, all vessels – including canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards – must have at least one properly fitted Coast Guard approved life jacket for each person onboard. More about lifejackets – www.wearitwashington.org.
In the waters around the San Juan Islands, water temperatures average below 50 degrees. Falling into cold water is extremely dangerous and the biggest risk is cold-water shock. Wearing a life jacket is critical to survive the first stage of cold-water immersion. People, especially at risk for possible cold-water shock, are often those in kayaks, paddleboards, dinghies, rowboats, small fishing and sailboats. Learn more about surviving cold-water shock at www.coldwatersafety.org.
Boating education and safety classes are a vital tool to protect life and property. In analyzing boating and water accidents, human error accounts for 70 percent of all boating accidents. Washington residents must carry a Boater Education Card while on the water operating a power-boat greater than 15 horsepower. This includes people over 12 years of age and born after January 1, 1955. By getting the card, you will have the opportunity to review boating safety and learn how to operate your vessel in a safe manner. Find out how to get Boater Education Card at https://boat.wa.gov.
If you plan on boating outside of Washington, you are encouraged to determine what the state, territory, and nation's boater education and competency requirements need to be satisfied prior to getting underway. National Safe Boating Week is coordinated each year by the National Safe Boating Council and boating safety partners.

Hundreds of families were evacuated this week from Dorney Tower, a 23-story London apartment building, after the authorities found unsafe features in it and nearly a hundred other buildings after the deadly Grenfell Tower blaze.
Would the building's construction have passed safety regulations in New York City? Not even close.
Here are the shortfalls in Dorney Tower that never would have passed muster in New York, which has much more stringent building codes and safety checks, according to city safety officials.
Flammable exterior covering
Dorney Tower, completed in 1967 and refurbished in 2008, shares several problematic features with Grenfell Tower, which was encased in a flammable exterior covering, known as cladding, that contributed to the fire's rapid spread. The cladding on the tower, which was added in 2008, failed safety tests this week.
In New York City, cladding must be tested and found to be fire resistant before it can ever be put on a building, said Thomas Fariello, first deputy commissioner for the city's Department of Buildings, which enforces building codes.
The requirement dates to 1968, and has been made more stringent since. Though retrofitted buildings may be held to different standards, new buildings are inspected upon completion to make sure that cladding was installed properly and that it matches the material that was tested. Facades on buildings taller than 75 feet are inspected every five years.
"The siding material in this city, with that fire testing, is not going to be able to go up in flames like that," Mr. Fariello said.
The same contractor installed cladding on both Grenfell Tower and Dorney Tower, although officials said the material was different. The local authorities said the cladding on Dorney Tower would be removed.
Single stairway for evacuation
Dorney Tower, like Grenfell Tower, has only one flight of stairs available for residents if they have to evacuate the building.
In New York, any building taller than 75 feet must have at least two stairwells encased in concrete to provide a safe escape route.
"It's a basic thing of being able to get people out of the building," said Gus Sirakis, an assistant commissioner at the building department. A backup route is needed in case one of the stairways is inaccessible or being used by firefighters, he said.
New York buildings over 420 feet must have a third flight of stairs.
The single escape route out of Dorney Tower has long worried residents.
Amal Salah, 45, who has lived there on the 15th floor for the past 11 years, said her family had been on edge since the Grenfell fire.
"We only have the main staircase," Ms. Salah said. "So we just hope that nothing will happen."
Missing fire doors
London fire officials found that Dorney Tower and other buildings in the same complex lacked working fire doors, and in some cases were missing them altogether. Without working fire doors to block a fire, flames can spread quickly from one part of a building to another.
New York City officials said that fire doors in all high rises must be self-closing and self-latching, and noted that they were regularly assessed.
"If our inspectors are called to the building for any reason, that is something we will inspect for," Mr. Fariello said.
Experts say at least part of the reason Britain has less-strict fire codes is because business-friendly governments have pared back regulations.
A 2005 measure ended a requirement for government inspectors to certify that buildings had met fire codes and shifted to a system of self-policing.
"We have the developers on our back a lot, because they want to build, build, build," Mr. Fariello said. "We are kind of in their way a lot to make these things safe."

Rules - Senate Rules, Joint Rules
Transportation - Titles 5 (streets, sidewalks, parking), 54, 55, 56, 57, and
58 (Regional Transportation Authorities and railroads)
Matters shall be referred to the appropriate standing committee with jurisdiction over the primary subject matter addressed by the Bill or Resolution. If there is any objection to the referral of any bill or resolution to any Standing Committee, the Rules Committee shall hear the same, resolve the issue and report to the Senate within one (1) legislative day its decision which decision may be overruled by a vote of twenty nine (29) Senators.
The several committees shall have such powers and duties as provided for in these rules. It shall not be in order for any committee to consider any proposed committee amendment (other than a technical, clerical, or conforming amendment) which contains any significant matter not within the jurisdiction of the committee proposing such amendment.
Membership on the Judiciary Committee excludes membership on the Finance Committee and vice versa.
Committee seniority shall be determined by tenure within the committee rather than tenure within the Senate. When members with seniority transfer to a new committee, their seniority will be counted ahead of newly elected Senators.
Where two or more Standing Committees are combined, initial membership on such committee shall be based on tenure within the Senate.
Members of the Senate may not select more than five (5) Standing Committees. The Committee on Ethics, the Committee on Interstate Cooperation, and the Committee on Legislative Oversight are not included in this limitation.
For the members to make their Standing Committee selections, the Clerk of the Senate (or if the Clerk has not been elected, the Clerk of the Senate during the preceding General Assembly or an assistant clerk) shall prepare a roll of the Senate listing the members in the order of length of continuous service, beginning with the longest continuous service. Where two or more members have equal continuous service they shall be listed in alphabetical order. The Clerk of the Senate shall also prepare a list of each Standing Committee and the number of seats available to members of each party. The Clerk of the Senate shall then call the roll twice in order of continuous service. Each member, upon his or her name being called during the first call of the roll, shall select four (4) unfilled Standing Committees on which he or she wishes to serve (and shall also select at this same time a seat on any or all of the Ethics, Legislative Oversight, and Interstate Cooperation Committees so long as a vacancy exists). Each member must select either the Finance or Judiciary Committee during the first call of the roll.
When the prescribed number of seats provided for a particular party within a Standing Committee has been filled, the President shall announce that the seats available for either the Majority or Minority party are filled. When the roll is called for the second time, it shall be called in reverse order of continuous service and each member upon his or her name being called, may select one additional unfilled Standing Committee on which he or she wishes to serve.
In the event any member is unable to be present for selection of Standing Committees, that member may authorize in writing any member of the Senate to make selections in his or her behalf. This procedure shall be followed on the first day of the session following the election of Senators and at any other session where a newly elected member(s) is seated and the President has made the designation within the timeframe hereinabove provided. Any Senator who served on a Standing Committee in the session immediately past shall have the right to select such committee, regardless of the Senator's seniority in the Senate, unless the Senator shall elect to be removed from such committee by the choices made by the member during the first round of selection of committees or unless the number of seats available to his respective party have already been filled.
Except as otherwise provided herein, in the selection by members of a seat on a Senate Standing Committee, the seniority system from the previous session shall be retained so as to become a part of these rules.
Should any Senator, during his term of office, cease to be a member of the political party of which he was a member at the time of his election, he shall not be deemed, thereby, to have forfeited all Committee memberships to which he may have been elected and shall not waive all seniority within each of the committees of which he or she was member if a majority of the caucus to which the member switches consents to that Senator retaining his seniority within the Committees to which he was a member at the time of his switch. No Senator elected as a Chairman of a Standing Committee at the opening of a session shall lose that Chairmanship even if a Senator switches parties and because of that switch becomes the senior member of the majority party on that Committee.
Each Committee Chairman shall have necessary staff to oversee the operation of the committee and its staff appointed by the Committee Chairman and such Committee counsel, staff assistants, and pages as the Chair of the Committee may deem necessary. The number of positions and salaries of personnel selected pursuant to this provision shall be subject to the approval of the Operations and Management Committee.
The Chair of any Committee may appoint subcommittees to consider a particular bill or resolution or to consider matters relative to a portion of work of the Committee. Such subcommittees shall make recommendations to the Committee. The Chair of the full Committee shall name the chairman of the subcommittee who need not be the senior member appointed to the subcommittee. The total membership of a subcommittee shall be composed of members of the two major political parties if practicable. The Chair of the full Committee shall be an ex officio member of all subcommittees and entitled to vote, but shall not be counted as a member for purposes of a quorum.
The Operations and Management Committee, through the Clerk of the Senate and subject to the Committee's approval, shall oversee the day to day operation of the Senate including the allocation of office space between members. The Sergeant at Arms shall appoint such number of employees as Deputy Sergeant at Arms, subject to the approval of the Operations and Management Committee, as are necessary for the proper transaction of the business of the Senate.
Each Senator, who is not a Committee Chairman, shall hire such number of pages and other employees as is necessary for the proper transaction of their legislative business. The Operations and Management Committee shall determine the number and salary ranges for these positions. All staffing decisions, including the hiring and firing of all staff, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be the sole responsibility of the affected Senator who must ensure that his or her employees follow the policies and procedures of the Operations and Management Committee, which shall be enforced by the Operations and Management Committee. However, if an employee works for more than one Senator, then the decision to hire and fire must be made by both of the affected Senators. If an agreement cannot be reached regarding the hiring and firing of an employee who works for more than one Senator, then the Operations and Management Committee shall arbitrate the dispute and render a decision which decision shall be final.
The Operations and Management Committee shall also oversee the Office of Senate Research which shall provide assistance as requested by Senate members and committees of the Senate. The Operations and Management Committee shall appoint a majority and minority research director and such other research counsel and staff assistants as is necessary for the proper transaction of its business.

While not everyone might be able to get the biggest and fastest storage but for those who can, Samsung has just announced its first portable 2 TB SSD, the Portable SSD T3.
Features of the Samsung Portable SSD T3
It's not clearly a one-trick pony. It comes with a USB Type-C port, becoming one of the first SSDs to support the Type-C standard. More importantly, that means the drive can be shared between all your latest portables, given they all have Type-C ports. It is very portable, being a cool 2.9" long and weighing in at a very manageable 2 ounces. Designed to take a beating, it can survive drops of 2 meters as well as 1500g of force. It also looks like the first-gen iPhone.
The T3's speed will be its biggest plus point: identical read and write speeds of 450 MB/second using V-NAND memory. That's not the fastest we know but for a portable storage device, it is more than acceptable. It comes with its own Android companion app too, which should make data transfers more seamless.
And in case, you think 2 TB is a bit more than you can handle (which is almost never the case) Samsung has got you covered with 250 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB options. Secure items can be protected through AES-256 bit hardware protection.
Sales of the new SSD will kick off next month in "select" markets, with "worldwide" availability said to follow suit in the near future. As Engadget and others report, SanDisk's similar, faster & larger solutions currently retail for around $800, hence, you should expect Samsung's to fall within the same range too. Samsung's 1 TB T1 (announced last year) cost $600 initially too. Its speed vs portability while choosing between SanDisk and Samsung SSDs for storage needs.

For those of us Full-Timers who have learned to tolerate the craziness of the Big 3 (the weekends of Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day), this one went by rather smoothly.
Of course, that is for those of us who have become immune to those Weekend RVers who allow their six year old children to drive golf carts around the campground at dark, those who leave their TVs and radios at full volume while they visit friends on the other side of the campground and those who congregate in large numbers at night to talk loudly in front of your RV while you are trying to sleep.
I did see some things that did surprise me this weekend… which was rather alarming, because I thought I had seen it all!
The first surprise was the travel trailer that pulled in beside us with a full-size dog house in the back of the pickup truck. They promptly set it up behind the RV and erected a little fence around the area. I learned it "wasn't an RV dog" and that it would spend the weekend within whimpering distance of my bedroom. I don't know which was worse, the barking dog or the owner constantly yelling "shut up" all weekend.
The next eye-opener was the number of adults who placed lawn chairs in the back of their pickup trucks and had their friends and family sitting in the back sipping on canned drinks while they cruised the campground. I'm not quite sure what all that was about, but after seeing several "families" drive around this way I figured they all must have been too cheap to rent a golf cart.
Of course, nothing can top a RVer who was either too cheap to rent a full hook-up site or too lazy to go to visit the free dump station. What did she do? She dumped her RV tote tank in the river that families canoe, kayak and tube.
So we survived another one of the Big 3 and are nervously awaiting for the Fourth of July weekend. It has me wondering if there will be more surprises in store for us this season!
PLEASE NOTE: In all fairness, I do not blame campgrounds that are overwhelmed during the Big 3. Most are at full capacity with a small local and workamp staff working around-the-clock. Each campground has rules and regulations, but they are hard to enforce under these circumstances. If you are a Weekend RVer, please be understanding of the rules and respect your fellow Campers.

Increase in top A-level grades for Hackney
PUBLISHED: 12:00 20 August 2016
The number of top A-level grades achieved by students in Hackney has improved on last year's total, a round-up of the results has found.
Provisional results from the council showed that the number of A* to B grades achieved by Hackney students was up 2 percent on 2015, with 46.6pc of exams being graded in this bracket.
However the borough does still find itself below par for top grades, with the national average being 52.9pc.
The number of passing grades obtained increased, however, with 98.2pc of exams marked between A* and E. The national average for passing grades is 98.1pc.
And Anne Canning, Acting Group Director for Children, Adults and Community Health, was quick to commend the hard work of the students:
"Congratulations to everyone who received their exam results," she said.
"Students and staff have worked very hard over the last couple of years, and this week marks the end of a long wait for the results.
"Whatever they decide to do next – further studies at a university or a college, an apprenticeship or venturing into the world of work – we'd like to wish them every success for the future."

Texas filed a lawsuit Monday in the U.S. Supreme Court over a California law that prohibits official travel to statesthat California deems discriminatory against LGBTQ people, throwing into question whether the ban affecting 11 states can remain.
California lawmakers passed the travel ban in 2016 after North Carolina enacted a law that required people to use gender-specific bathrooms according to their sex at birth. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra added Texas to the list of prohibited travel states in 2017 after it passed a law allowing child welfare providers to refuse to carry out services that violate their religious beliefs. Becerra's office at the time said the law allows discrimination against LGBTQ children and foster or adoptive parents.
The California ban punishes the state for allowing faith-based foster care and adoption agencies to uphold their religious beliefs, said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the lawsuit. He said the ban amounts to "economic sanctions" against Texas because it deprives the state of tax revenue from hotels and other businesses that would have made money from travel by Californians.
Paxton is asking the Supreme Court to overturn California's travel ban because it is "infected with animus towards religion," violates federal laws on interstate commerce and discriminates against Texas business owners.
Paxton, a Republican, pointed to the Supreme Court's 2018 decision in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to provide a cake for a same-sex couple as grounds for the lawsuit. The Texas attorney general has frequently championed religious liberty, refusing to defend a state agency that punished a judge who wouldn't perform same sex marriages and suing over a federal regulation prohibiting discrimination against transgender patients. …

When I told my husband that I wanted to adopt our first baby almost ten years ago, he gave me a pretty blank stare. I don't think he really knew what to say. I then proceeded to tell him that I wanted to adopt a little four-year-old girl with Down syndrome living in China (of course I was in tears, as I had spent WAY too many hours reading online about orphanages overseas and children with special needs). Now if you knew my husband, you could probably predict how he would react…calmly, gently, but swiftly explaining how we didn't even know how to be parents yet, let alone to a child with Down syndrome. Crushed of course, I couldn't understand how someone could ignore facts about children overseas with special needs dying alone without parents, or without ever even knowing love.
I will try not to bore you with numbers (as this is supposed to be a happy story!), but I think the facts surrounding Down syndrome are quite eye-opening. The statistics regarding children being abandoned because of their Down syndrome diagnosis in Asia, Eastern Europe, and Russia is staggering. Just in Europe, Reece's Rainbow reports here that 1 in 733 live births has Down syndrome and is likely abandoned.
Stigma associated with Down syndrome exists everywhere, but in many Asian and European countries, life with Down syndrome can be particularly problematic. Those people with Down syndrome face a grim reality of a very low life expectancy, physical and psychological abuse and/or neglect, segregation, and limited opportunities over a lifetime. If you are having trouble imagining this, please take a moment to view the following clip detailing lives of those with disabilities living in Serbian mental institutions here. I will seriously NOT be able to get some of these pictures out of my mind! The absolute horror of the human heart sometimes disgusts me.
Even here in the United States, the appalling rate of babies aborted with suspected Down syndrome is no secret. Abortion rates for children with suspected Down syndrome has been reported in some areas of the US as high as 90%. PolitiFact lists several references to this percentage here. I cannot judge these women, nor do I condone their actions, but it saddens me that Down syndrome brings so much fear into the hearts and minds of everyday people.
All these facts combined, along with my high emotions, seemed to me to be reason enough to open our arms and home to someone with Down syndrome!
Life moved on, however, and thankfully we were blessed with perfectly normal (if there is such), healthy, and happy children that we loved without explanation. In my heart, though, something was still missing. Thoughts of adoption still filled my mind, and I knew I should approach my husband again about the topic. This time, although still unsure, he agreed that it may be a good idea to explore. So, nearly two years ago, our family started the process to complete a domestic adoption.
When we finished our paperwork and home study, and were approved to adopt (which took a good six months or so), I put our family out there in as many places as I could think of. We received some calls and messages from our agency, facilitators, and pregnant mothers, but none seemed to quite fit with our family. My husband, too, was still being somewhat stringent as to the situations he would allow our family to be viewed for (In most domestic adoptions, birth families are allowed to view and then meet their prospective adoptive family before their child's placement. We had a book that we prepared and presented to our birth family before we were chosen. If you would like to view this book, please contact me privately!).
My patience with the adoption's process was wearing thin, and I was getting frustrated with waiting and with my husband's inflexibility. Mostly because I knew that many families desiring to adopt did not want a child with Down syndrome. I felt like our family had been so blessed with normalcy, that it was our turn to step up and help out others in a loving and accepting way. As Christians, we know that Christ accepts us unconditionally as referenced in Romans 15:7, "Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God". He disregards our faults and imperfections. In fact, He doesn't even see our faults as flaws per Psalm 139:13-14, "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made". Despite our individual plans and ideas surrounding our next child, we decided to make an effort to find peace in waiting.
It was difficult for me, in particularly, to find patience in God's timing. I am one of those people who tries to rush fate as I see it best. My husband, on the other hand, is very analytical and examines every possible outcome-even to the extreme. There came a point when both of us (me later than my husband) decided that we had to let go of our expectations, and put faith in the process and what was (or was not) to come our way. Control is hard to give up, but if you can, sometimes things start to happen…at least they did for us!
Amazingly enough, after we decided to leave it all up to FAITH, only a WEEK later did we receive a call from the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network explaining that there was a healthy baby to be born with Down syndrome in less than two months! His parents were making an adoption plan, and the caller wanted to know if they could view our family's profile. Feeling like this could be our little guy; I went to ask my husband his thoughts on the baby with Down syndrome, and was very surprised at his response when I approached him with the baby's story. His exact words were, "Let's do it". Two days later, we received a call that we were the family chosen, and not even two weeks after that, another call informed us that Baby #4 was born and waiting for our arrival at the hospital! Things were now happening really fast!
Our excitement and anticipation for our baby's birth grew weary, however, when we entered the hospital. Hospital staff welcomed us with an overabundance of reading material and few congratulations. Baby #4 was perfect and beautiful, but his Down syndrome was real and obvious by his facial features. Our hospital stay seemed to never end even though it only lasted four days. We were very overwhelmed. Our decision to knowingly adopt a child with an abnormality was stressful to say the least. On top of getting to know our new little one, we felt as if there were so many OTHER things that we didn't know as well, and we certainly were not prepared for THOSE things. I am pretty sure that this is when doubt started to creep in, and when we started to lose faith again. You see, before you hold that little baby in your arms, you think that a connection will be there right away, that adoption will be easy. You think that when you hold YOUR baby, it will know that you are his mother. As a seasoned mother of three other biological children, I could tell that this sweet, little baby knew that I was NOT his biological mother. He wanted to nurse and I couldn't feed him. I didn't recognize his cries; they were different than all my others. And when he started to have problems at home, they were nothing like anything I had ever experienced with my other three children. My husband and I were absolutely scared, and most certainly started to question our ability to care for Baby #4.
Since then, Baby #4 has had two surgeries, and there are possibly two others in his future. We have gone through many things that have made us closer, and through them, we feel like a family now. I am so thankful that Baby #4 recognizes me as his mother, and I love that he puts his arms up to be held! I often think of how hard it is to love someone you don't know, how hard it was for us to really attach to Baby #4 at first, and how hard it can be to love someone you know all too well. I feel guilty that I, too, am sometimes a child that God doesn't know. As I stumble blindly through daily tasks, I am sure that He frequently looks at me and wonders where His child has gone. I am thankful that God continually forgives my sins and calls me back to be His own, that He knows everything about me and each person in our family (Psalm 139:1 "You have searched me, LORD, and you know me."), and according to Romans 8:28, "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose". How sad that we ever doubted God's plan! How amazing is His love!
Now, almost a year since our fourth baby's homecoming, we can actually say that with God's help, we made a great decision to adopt! Baby #4 is an absolute joy, and we love him as our own! Although his progression and development is slow, it is steady, and he complains very little with regards to the bumps in his path. He is the happiest person I know, and is a perfect example of being content in all circumstances. As we look back and recall the process of Baby #4's adoption, we can see God's hand in every step. We look forward to our future with all of our children, and are grateful for our new 'normal' with our anything but typical children!

Camilla, Georgia chooses to celebrate its seasonal infestation of gnats with an annual Gnat Days festival, complete with parades, Gnat queens, and (of course) a 5K road race. But I couldn't imagine that Camilla's gnats were worse than anywhere else in the region. I remember being bothered by gnats at road races throughout the long southern summer. How could the gnats of Camilla swarm thicker, crawl up more nostrils, or get in more eyes than the gnats of Valdosta, Tallahassee, or Thomasville?
I still don't know how, but Camilla's insects outmatch those of any other town in all those categories or more. I won't pretend that you look down at your legs to see a grey-black crawling mass of winged insect horror, or that you'll see scenes like a man wearing a beard of honeybees, but made out of gnats instead. But even though they fall short of those spectacular levels, they are as awful as any simply annoying insect can be. If you stand still they will be crawling on every square inch of your surface. You'll feel their tiny legs tickling any skin that you dare to expose. You'll be constantly spitting, blowing, and blinking to keep them out of your mouth, nose, and eyes. If you stand still.
Which is as good a motive as any for more than 200 finishers of the 2012 Gnat Days 5K to keep moving. Stephen Robbins of Cairo, Georgia kept moving especially fast, winning the race in 17:51, nearly 150 meters ahead the runner-up, Chase Harris of Bainbridge, Georgia. Thomasville, Georgia master runner Mary Anne Grayson was the fastest woman in the race, placing sixth overall in 19:47. The first male master was Michael Gavre of Leesburg, Georgia, tenth overall in 20:35.
The race was scheduled for an evening start on Friday, 4 May 2012, possibly because the gnats swarm more thickly in the evening. Robbins led from the start, closely trailed in the early going by Nathan Norton of Americus, who had just finished his second year at Darton College in Albany. Chase Harris and Kyle Harris followed. It was Robbins, Norton, Harris, and Harris through the first mile, after which the race turned to wander through neighborhood streets during the second mile. That was when the lead vehicle took the runners off the course. Mary Anne Grayson came to the rescue, though. Grayson knew the course well, having won the Gnat Days women's title in both 2009 and 2010. Running in fifth, she shouted the leaders back onto the route, and the event was saved. Robbins got back out front, going on to win in 17:51. Chase Harris and Kyle Harris were second and third in 18:19 and 18:28. After running much of the race in second, Norton placed fourth in 18:58. Grayson collected her third Gnat Days women's championship with a 19:47. The second woman in as well as the second woman master was Tallahassee's Judy Alexander, 24th overall in 22:46.
Rain threatened but never fell on the over 200 runners in the 2012 Gnat Days 5K, quite a few more than the 130+ who finished the race in 2011. This year's race was billed as the 25th annual,and chances look good for it to grow even older--as sure as the gnats are to return, the Gnat Days 5K should be back in 2013. Maybe they'll have that course marking thing figured out by then.

As dapper as they are comfortable, these leather moccasin shoes will complete your smart wardrobe. They are constructed with leather uppers and leather soles for style and durability. These shoes are wonderfully versatile and can be teamed with formal and casual looks.
As with all leather soled shoes we recommend for the first couple of times to walk them in on a dry, gritty surface. Care should be taken when worn in wet conditions as they can become slippery. Continual use in damp or wet conditions will weaken sole material, if they become wet allow to dry naturally. It is good practise that shoes are rotated on a day to day basis to prevent premature wear.

My parents took my bar mitzvah money when I was 13 and promised to invest it and give me a larger sum when I am 18, I am now 19 years old and they have yet to return my money even though I asked them to give it back about 20 times.(self)

Generally Unhelpful or Off-Topic
Your comment has been removed as it is generally unhelpful or off-topic. It either does not answer the legal question at hand or it is a repeat of an answer already provided Please review the following rules before commenting further:
Please read our subreddit rules. If after doing so, you believe this was in error, or you've edited your post to comply with the rules, message the moderators.
Do not reach out to a moderator personally, and do not reply to this message as a comment.
Memory is really funny. It's entirely possible that their version of events is correct, and your memory is not. Or that their memory is incorrect and your memory is the correct story. Or that something else entirely happened. But you both will be completely convinced that your memory is the correct version with 100% certainty. (lots of psychological studies on memory drift show this)
I know that this is true between my parents and me with events in my childhood, and I've just had to let it go that we have very different memories and are being entirely honest about our memories for these events. This might be the case here, so it's really hard to tell.
This is, however, a lesson in always getting a paper trail for money stuff, if someone borrows money from you, get an email or something on paper (don't do over text, it's too easy to lose). Having little money lessons like this early on will serve you very well in the years to come, as the borrowed and invested amounts get larger, and sometimes require going to court to reconcile (ask me how I know...).
With all that, I'm sorry that your memory of this event leaves you feeling distrust of your parents, that's a really sucky place to be. But please work to reconcile this distrust with them, the relationship you have with your parents is very important in your life. And many people severely regret later in life that these types of events put a significant strain on that relationship. It's going to be a bit hard, but you really may want to come to a place where you can forgive them the differences in memories of these events and move on. You will really want them around in your life when you get married, start a family, have kids, etc.

Now think about the actual situation.
A single event, robably involving hundreds or thousands of dollars, and see if you can spot why this might be more memorable.
That's why I commented it could be hyperbole. Don't know the situation but this snippet raises huge red flags for me.
It's money he gained from an important milestone at his life that was promised at a certain age. I would remember that. But I'm not trying to say I'm absolutely correct, I just have had friends experience similar situation with gaslighting parents.
Im sorry, I think you're fucked unfortunately :( Im not a lawyer, so if I'm wrong I happily invite someone to correct me, but if they're outright denying they ever took the money then you'll never see it. Unless this is tens of thousands of dollars, it wouldnt be worth the struggle of attempting to extract this money from them, especially if there are little to no records of where the money went. I don't think there's anything you can do legally. I'd just like to point out that your parents stole from you when you were 13, and are now gaslighting you about it. These are not good people to have in your life OP.

Liner Notes (October 4th, 2019)
For Me This is Heaven
|Jason Tate
|Oct 4, 2019
| 1
It's a pretty big album release day today, and this week's newsletter has my thoughts on quite a few of those. It also has my very early first impressions on Jimmy Eat World's new album. So that's fun. There's also my weekly media diet roundup and a playlist of ten songs I enjoyed this week. This week's supporter Q&A post can be found here.
Four Things
This week, I spent a lot of time playing around with iPad OS 13. Having all this extra room for app icons, as well as the new widget mode, gave me all kinds of things to think about and play with in order to get things set up how I want them. My current home screen now looks like this. It's not perfect yet, but it's coming along, and I feel pretty happy with it. I've got all the apps I use most laid out, and my new Shortcut widget has been working great in practice. Not only do I like having a widget to quickly search various services (Google, Google Images, Chorus, the forums, Wikipedia), but having some new clipboard shortcuts have made the iPad feel as close as it has in years to the things I can do on my Mac with Alfred. (Clean clipboard removes all formatting on the text so that it's just plain text, BQ clipboard wraps the clipboard in the blockquote BBcode I use all the time in forum postings.) I think I'll have some other ideas on how to set things up the more I use the iPad and see where there are stalls in my workflow.
One other significant change I made was moving from Copied to Yoink as my clipboard/shelf manager of choice on iOS. I had been using Copied for years, but it just wasn't seeing regular updates anymore, and that became pretty apparent and buggy on iOS 13. Yoink having Shortcut actions means I can also better script automation around it, and I can use it to store more than just text while moving around the OS. So far, I'm pleased with the change.
The small little change to tvOS 13 where you can pull up control center and quickly connect to various AirPods is a game-changer. It's a little thing, but making this trivial task even easier is such a nice touch. That and being able to turn the TV on using Siri have been fun to play around with. I have a shortcut on my phone now for "movie time" that turns the lights off, turns on the living room TV, and then opens up Plex. It's very on-brand for me to spend time setting something like this up so that I can save thirty seconds.
My "neon" Blink–182 smiley logo sign was delivered this week, and it's even cooler than I was expecting. It looks incredible all lit up. Of course, I currently have no place to put this, but I'm still just a little obsessed with it. The plan is to one day move out of the city and have some kind of bigger office or basement like scenario where I can put a bunch of my music memorabilia up on the wall (maybe with a pool table?), and this will definitely be a highlight in that room. I still can't believe Hannah was on board with this purchase, but, that's why she's the best.
In Case You Missed It
Music Thoughts
A few of you have been waiting for me to write the words, "I've heard the new Jimmy Eat World album" for a while now. And, today's the day you've been waiting for. The band's new album, Surviving, is immediate. It was within 20 seconds of the opening title track, with all the Bleed American vibes I was getting, that I started to smile. That only got kicked to another gear with the guitar-driven intensity of "Criminal Energy," and it was with the one-two punch of "Delivery" and "555" that I knew they had done it again. It's probably not shocking to say that one of the most consistent bands of the last twenty years continues to be consistently good, but there's always that little part of me that wonders if this time they'll slip up, or this time I won't be as into the lyrics or songs.
This album has more of a punch to it than I was expecting. It's a guitar-driven record that reminds me of Bleed American mixed with Invented and then a little dust from Futures and Integrity Blues sprinkled on top. It has an undercurrent of feisty energy in a lot of these songs. "Criminal Energy" reminds me of the first time I heard "Just Tonight" or "Let It Happen" and I think it'll be a big fan favorite. There are multiple lyrical hits throughout that remind me why Jim Adkins is one of my favorite living songwriters, and "Delivery" and "Diamond" both have those "well shit, he nailed that feeling" moments. And there's a moment toward the end of "555" where Jim sings, "keep my focus on the simple things, try to find some peace along the way," that hit me each time I heard it. After a few listens, my least favorite track is "Love Never," and I don't know if that's because I overplayed it over the past few months and like the new and shiny, or if everything else here really does stand above it. "Recommit" feels like it would be natural slow and emotional closer, but the band instead ends this one with a bang in "Congratulations." It's a towering anthem of building guitars where the second half of the song takes a left turn and doesn't let up.
There's been a lot of talk around the website over the past few weeks about bands reaching creative peaks and then what happens to their careers as they get longer and longer. Do they chase their former glory, continue to pump out music they know their fans will like, or do they continue to take risks and expand? I think that Jimmy Eat World have found the sweet spot. They're still clearly trying new things in their music and their process, but it's within a framework of what makes the band so widely loved to begin with. It's not that they're working within a formula, it's that I feel as though they understand who they are as a band and therefore know when and where to take the little stretches. With Integrity Blues, it felt like they played with the melody and mood, using bass and electronics to create a specific atmosphere. Here, it feels like they've turned up the guitar and energy dial to capture this rock and roll swagger and stomp that brings the listener from air guitar to somber introspection multiple times in little over a half an hour. They know where to push, where to hold back, and what pitch works best in each scenario. It feels like a master class by an artist to craft a musical experience this precise and intentional. Nothing feels out of place; nothing feels forced or forgotten.
I think my high-level takeaway from a few listens is that one of the most consistent bands of my generation has once again released an album that I am going to adore. It has flashes of what we've all come to know as the Jimmy Eat World sound, but it never feels like a retread; instead, the energy bursting from so many of these songs feels vibrant and colorful. It's the kind of album that I want in my life right now. Something that makes me think of 2001 and hearing Bleed American for the first time, and loving the mix of guitar and melancholy, while also speaking to what it's like to be an adult and have doubts and struggles with your place in the world today. And there's a good chance it's because they're my favorite band, but their music wraps me with a comforting warmth that lets me feel just a little more secure in who I am in 2019. They did it again; they delivered. And for a brief moment, all feels well.
Anti-Flag returns with the new song "Christian Nationalist" and I love it. These guys have been on an absolute tear recently with their last two albums, and the acoustic release, all being full of much-needed anthems during our current political climate. I've said it before, but I am always so impressed with this band's ability to combine melody with intensity. They're sneakily some of the best hook writers around, and they don't get enough credit for that.
I've written quite a bit about The Menzingers' new album, Hello Exile, over the past few weeks, but now the album's officially out and everyone can experience it for themselves. I've read a lot of the commentary so far in our forums, and I'm a little surprised at some of the negative reactions. The most common thing I've seen is that it's too "by the numbers" or not "creative" enough. I suppose I understand that critique to some degree, but I think my argument would be this is the band at their most actualized into the sound they've been working on for the past few albums. This doesn't feel as "by the numbers" to me as it feels like knowing exactly how to make the music you want to make and then executing to a high degree. I guess I wasn't expecting it to be as polarizing as I've seen so far.
The new Lagwagon album, Railer, is out today. If you're looking for another solid entry into this band's catalog, you're in luck.
Bayside keep cranking out reliable and stable albums. Their new one Interrobang excites me more than their previous few. It's got really nice energy to it. Bayside albums don't usually have a long shelf life for me, they're things I listen to for a week and then move away from. I'm unsure if that trend will change with this one, but in the meantime, there's lots of good stuff here. "Trouble" and "Bury Me" stand out to me.
I think City and Colour's new album A Pill for Loneliness is a great return to form album. The last couple releases didn't do much for me, but I was captivated by this right away. "Me and the Moonlight" is gorgeous, and "The War Years" is hauntingly good. I expect this to be in heavy rotation over the next few cold months; it feels born to be played by the fire in the dark.
I like the new EP from Simple Creatures, but I don't think I enjoy the collection of songs as much as their first. My favorite song here is definitely "One Little Lie," and I also really like "NVM." Some of the fuzzy effects get a little overbearing at times, but it's still a fun listen, and I love seeing this side of both Mark and Alex. I've also still got the new Blink–182 album in almost daily rotation.
Next up, I plan to check out this instrumental release from Aaron Sprinkle, and give the new Joshua Radin a spin.
Entertainment Thoughts
I enjoyed Toy Story 4 and thought it was a fun movie that did not take away from the previous three movies at all. However, it was also my least favorite of the series. Not a bad movie, and even one I'm sure I'll watch again, but something was eating at me when it finished that I can't quite put to words. It felt, maybe a little hollow after the lessons and arc of the third movie? I'm not sure.
Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw is where I officially declare we've gone way too far concerning "mid-credit scenes." This movie was utterly ridiculous, way too long, and yet it was still pretty entertaining and had some cool scenes. It's exactly the movie you think it's going to be, for better or for worse.
Superstore returned and I still think it's one of the most underrated shows on TV, the first episode of the new season of Always Sunny was quite funny, and now that we're into October we've finally started What We Do In the Shadows and the first episode was hilarious. I did a literal spit take of beer during one scene.
We watched a few episodes of Unbelievable on Netflix, and it's a tough watch. I've read the article the show is based on, so I know what happens, but it's still extremely distressing to watch. It's very well done, but hard to watch more than one a night.
Hannah is gone this weekend for her bachelorette weekend, so I've been bingeing QB1 on Netflix. I watched the first season a while ago on whatever weird app it was airing on and plowed through all of the second season (and the first few episodes of the third) over the past few days. As a massive fan of Friday Night Lights, this gives me similar vibes. It's making me want to do a re-watch of that entire series next. I don't even consider football in my top three sports I like to watch (basketball, college basketball, baseball), but I am still wholly transfixed by this show.
The last episode of Titans was a flashback episode, which I usually don't like, but I thought it worked well. I enjoyed seeing Aqualad and the original team interacting together. I feel like shit is about to go down.
Random and Personal Stuff
As of this weekend, all of our RSVPs are in, and we've finalized the guest list. We've also completed the seating chart, and after stressing out and checking and re-checking name spelling, food choices, and seating arrangements, we've ordered all the guest name cards and table numbers. I really hope I didn't fuck any of those up.
Next weekend is my bachelor party and we're all leaving town early on Friday. I haven't figured out yet if my schedule will allow me to write this newsletter on, say, Wednesday and Thursday, and still get it out, but there's a chance it will be the first week in a while where I don't write one. I'm going to try, but it will depend on how busy the rest of my week ends up being.
The President of the United States is doing all kinds of crimes and needs to be impeached.

Speculation is growing that Rightmove could drop out of the prestigious FTSE-100 within the next few days as the stock exchange index undergoes a reassessment of entries.
The financial services publication Mortgage Strategy cites investment advisory service the Share Centre as saying Rightmove is in pole position to drop out of the FTSE-100 as a result of the portal's recent share price dip and longer-term uncertainty over the housing market and the wider economy.
Such a move is not in itself a critical reflection of the portal or its future prospects; other currently-listed FTSE-100 companies named as facing possible removal from the index is Direct Line, Royal Mail and Marks & Spencer.
The FTSE-100 consists of the 100 largest companies by market capitalisation listed on the London Stock Exchange; the level of the overall FTSE-100 index is measured on the basis of the total market capitalisation of its entries, as well as the index value, so there is a vested interest in reviewing entries to ensure only the largest firms are included.
Companies dropping from the FTSE-100 then typically go into the FTSE-250 - this is not, contrary to popular perception, the top 250 companies - it is in fact the 'next largest' 250 companies after those in the FTSE-100.
Despite the possible change of status, Rightmove remains hugely successful: it floated on the London Stock Exchange on March 15 2006 and in recent years has reported an increase in both profits and revenue.
However, market analysts have expressed growing concern over the long-term future of portals such as Rightmove.
At the end of July we reported that international portal analyst Mike DelPrete was raising question marks over the long-term profitability of Rightmove under its current strategy; at the start of August, investment service Berenberg cut its rating on Rightmove shares to 'buy' from 'hold' and cut its price target for the share.
"We have for some time been of the view that a business model so reliant on price increases is ripe for disruption" Berenberg analysts said at the time.
"Clearly, Rightmove has built a position whereby it has strong pricing power and highly recurring revenues ... However, with traditional agents margins under pressure from a whole host of structural factors, macro uncertainties and increasing competitive pressures we believe the current share price and consensus estimates fail to appropriately reflect reality."

Evicting a tenant is a tough and challenging process. This is especially true for owners of rent-controlled units, where local ordinances provide those tenants an extra level of protection against evictions and rent hikes.
What Is the Ellis Act?
California adopted the Ellis Act to allow landlords to evict tenants for the purpose of going out of business as a landlord to sell their property to another party. In other words, the current landlord sells the property so that he will not be a landlord in the future. Under the Ellis Act, the landlord has another option to convert the building from a rental property to owner-utilized housing, as opposed to selling the property completely.
What If My Landlord Goes Back into the Rental Business?
The Ellis Act provides that the landlord will not use the building as a rental business for five years. Thus, after evicting the tenants, the landlord cannot rent the property for five years. If the landlord violates the Act, they must allow the former tenants to rent the property back at the same rate, adjusted for inflation. This discounted rate is upheld even if the former tenants do not reoccupy the unit.
However, if the landlord waits the five years to rent the property, they may charge the fair market value for the property at that time.
What Can the Landlord Do with the Property under the Ellis Act?
There are many permissible changes of use of property available to a landlord under the Ellis Act. Examples of these changes include:
- A landlord owns an apartment complex consisting of three buildings, each having four units. Zoning permits the landlord to have professional offices on the property. Under the Act, the landlord may then remove the front building from residential use, remodel it, and rent it out for professional offices.
- A landlord owns two duplexes on a single parcel of land. They live in one of the duplexes and wish to remove the adjoining attached unit from the rental market. Since the duplexes contain three or fewer units, the landlord must remove both duplexes from the rental market to be protected under the Act. Therefore, in addition to the tenants leaving the property, the landlord also must leave the property.
What Qualifies as Proper Notice for an Eviction?
There are various types of notice requirements that must be carried out by a landlord in order for the eviction to qualify as a proper eviction under the act. Depending on the circumstances, the following notice requirements must be satisfied:
- Notice for Termination with Cause: There are three types of termination notices required by landlords when eviction is requested for a reason.
- Pay Rent or Quit Notices: When a tenant has not paid their rent, the tenant may be provided with a three- or five-day notice to pay or move out.
- Cure or Quit Notices: If a tenant violates a term or condition of their lease agreement, such as a failure to adhere to a no-pet clause or violating a noise restriction, the tenant will be given this notice. The notice provides a time frame the tenant has to "cure" or fix the violation. If they fail to remedy the violation, the tenant must either move or face an eviction lawsuit if they refuse to leave the premises.
- Unconditional Quit Notice: These notices require the tenant to leave the premises with no chance to pay rent or correct a lease violation. These types of notices are typically only permitted in certain situations where a tenant has violated a significant clause in the lease agreement, been late with rent on multiple occurrences, damaged the premises, or engaged in illegal activity on the rental property.
- Notice for Termination Without Cause: Notice for termination without cause usually come in the form of a 30-Day or 60-Day Notice to Vacate: These notices usually end a month-to-month lease. These are usually not permitted when there is a term lease for a period of time, such as one or two years. However, after a lease term has ended and a tenant stays on the property, the lease changes into a month-to-month lease.
Is the Ellis Act the Same All Over California?
No. The Ellis Act maybe modified by the municipalities of California. Thus, each city may have a slightly different one. For example, in San Francisco, the landlord must pay each tenant at least $5,153 for their relocation expenses. In Santa Monica, the landlord must obtain a re-occupation permit before using the renovated building, even if it means that they are the person moving in. Lastly, in Los Angeles, the city will force this new building apply its old rent control rules.
Consulting an Attorney
If you are a property owner and are interested in learning how to evict your tenants under the Ellis Act, then you should consult a California real estate lawyer. A consultation with an attorney will aid in creating a proper eviction notice for tenants and represent your needs.
