GRAND FALLS-WINDSOR, NL – The provincial government has announced over $341,000 in funding for initiatives that will support settlement and integration of newcomers to Newfoundland and Labrador.
The funding is being provided through the Newfoundland and Labrador Settlement and Integration Program.
Advanced Education, Skills and Labour Minister Al Hawkins made the announcement in Grand Falls-Windsor today, Dec. 21.
"Settlement and integration programs help newcomers throughout Newfoundland and Labrador to be fully engaged in their communities. These practical services and supports will make it easier for all regions of the province to retain immigrants and encourage social, cultural, and economic development," Hawkins said in a news release.
One of the initiatives will see the creation of satellite offices of the Association for New Canadians in the Labrador, western and central regions of the province, a pilot project also availing of funding from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
Megan Morris, the organization's executive director, applauded the funding.
"The programming announced today will help build on the strong foundation of settlement supports and language services offered in Newfoundland and Labrador. With this additional support, we look forward to expanding our service network to assist newcomers as they settle and integrate in regions across the province," she said.
Some of the funding will also be used to develop English as a Second Language curriculum by Memorial University of Newfoundland.
The provincial government is aiming to increase the annual number of immigrants to the province to 1,700 by 2022.
Initiatives approved through the NL Settlement and Integration Program
· $76,638 for the Association of New Canadians to pilot satellite offices to service the four regions of the province, based in Labrador City, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Corner Brook, and Grand Falls-Windsor. The Association of New Canadians will also be using funding from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada towards this initiative.
· $46,670 will be provided to the Federation des Francophones de Terre Neuve et Labrador to enhance French-language settlement services for Francophone individuals.
· The Association for New Canadians will also receive $26,000 to coordinate the private sponsorship of refugees throughout the province.
· $150,000 for Memorial University of Newfoundland to develop eight modules for the online delivery of English as a Second Language classes for newcomers before they arrive in the province and continuing afterward.
· Memorial University will also receive $13,395 to increase social engagement between international student families and the wider community.

Hi I'm Valerie
I grew up in the Northeast of the U.S. I'm the author of four books and mother of nine children. I'm a mormon.
About Me
I grew up in New Jersey after being born in Brooklyn to a Jewish family. We went back and forth from Jersey to Brooklyn a lot visitng family. My parents joined the Church when I was 10 and it had a profound affect on me. I met my husband at Brigham Young University in 1981. We had 9 children together and chose to educate them at home. They have grown up to be wonderful people. We were married for almost 25 years when he passed away unexpectedly. We were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple so I know I will see him again as my eternal companion. I was single for 2 1/2 years and met a wonderful guy who didn't mind all the children and married me anyway. He also is a member of the Church and served a mission in Korea as my first husband did. I now have 6 grandchildren from my oldest three daughters. I have published four books about the family and have plans for 2 more. I have a children's picture book series going too. I write a weekly editorial for a local paper and try to include inspiring words to help others make their life better. I love writing and how it can help others. We love doing family history research as well. We are planning to remodel an old hotel built in 1900 in the town where I live and love learning about the history.
Why I am a Mormon
When my parents first invited the missionaries over to learn about the Church, I felt an excitement. As Jews, we attended Synagogue services but even as a young child I could feel something was missing. As a child, I wanted to attend Sunday School but was told by the Rabbi that I was past the age when children attented their Sunday School classes I was 7 so I was not able to go. When we were baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I felt as if I came home. The Church has filled a void in my life and I will cherish it always. I read the Book of Mormon every day with my children and it has brought me and my family closer to God and fills our home with peace. Through all the trials I have borne and will bear, it is the foundation which I can stand firmly and know it will always be there for me.
How I live my faith
I live my faith by participating in church activities. We attend our Sunday meetings, and my children are active in Scouting and the Young Women's program on Wednesday night. Both my husband and I visit the families we are assigned each month and I am the teacher for the 18 month to 3 year-old class on Sunday for Sunday School. You might not think young children can remember the lessons you teach but they are very receptive. Praying each morning and night is important to us as a family. I also help organize a homschool group in our community which keeps us very busy.

Google Voice allows users to make calls to domestic phone numbers in the United States and Canada for free. There are a few exceptions to this, primarily for certain call-in services. Users can place calls from a call phone using a free app, or from the Internet. Additionally, Google Voice allows users to place calls for free from Gmail and Google Hangouts. Calls to phone numbers outside of the United Stated and Canada are also available at relatively low rates
WhatsApp, a popular phone messaging application, allows users to call their friends on the app for free using data, so calls don't count against phone plan minutes. A user must confirm a phone number to get started. After that, the application searches the phone address book for contacts using WhatsApp. The user can then call any contacts using the app anywhere in the world for free.
FreedomPop and magicJack also allow users to make phone calls for free. Users with the magicJack application can call other magicJack users anywhere in the world for free and can call phones in the United States and Canada for free. FreedomPop users are also able to call fellow app users and can make domestic phone calls for free, using up to 200 minutes and 500 text messages.

Indian embassy in Washington DC kick started their Third International Yoga Day (2017) celebration with the below lecture by Rajiv Malhotra. The main theme of the talk was appropriation and digestion of Indian ideas and techniques by the west. It charted the developments in Mind Sciences in the West since Swami Vivekananda's trip to the west. In one-hour Rajiv Malhotra mentioned all the people (in yellow), institutions (in red) and techniques/ideas (in blue) in the image above! That should be reason enough to watch the lecture!
Every time I hear RM speak on this topic, I realize something that I was overlooking earlier. Digestion clearly violates the ethics of academic and scientific research since the references are not properly cited and acknowledged. By weakening Indian culture and tradition, digestion also facilitates various Breaking India forces. I appreciated all this earlier.
However, all that is a problem for the Indian government and Swadeshi scholars. Should the aam aadmi care? How does it matter whether one gets the authentic version of a technique or the digested one? In other words, should it matter whether you learn Vipassana or it's digested version of mindfulness; yog nidra vs lucid dreaming, Transcendental meditation vs relaxation-response? Rajiv Malhotra argues that it does matter because the digested versions are usually just a small subset of the source body of knowledge, and often are also substandard. He mentions that authentic Vipassana is much more advanced than mindfulness, yet mindfulness is projected as the "new and improved" version and is all over the town today! In a few generations, people may not even know that something called Vipassana even existed. I can easily imagine this. Indian scriptures and rituals can be very complex with many layers of meanings and symbolism. Same idea can often be interpreted and implemented in many different ways and combined with other ideas in numerous different ways. Once the source has been reduced to one or two digested forms, such experiments will no longer be possible. Paraphrasing from the talk:
digestion effectively plucks the fruit on a tree and leaves the tree behind to atrophy thereby eliminating the possibility of future harvests.
Another thing I realized is the difference between the way rest of Asia treated knowledge from India and how the west did it and is still continuing. Buddhism spread to China, Japan and south-east Asia over millennia and steadily became less prevalent in India. Yet, Buddhist scholars and practitioners in those countries even today respectfully acknowledge their Indian roots. Western appropriators, on the other hand, go out of their way to avoid crediting India. RM gives a powerful analogy to illustrate this point:
it is like you run 100m faster than any one before and the credit goes to the guy with the clock who timed you and reported it to the world!
RM mentioned that he is writing seven books based on this talk. I can't wait for it!

Forty-six days is barely enough time to plan a fair-to-middling Halloween party, much less educate an entire city on the pros and cons of two new sales tax proposals, but that's the time North Little Rock voters have to work with in considering a new one-penny sales tax — the window between an emergency meeting called Sept. 23 to approve sending the proposal to the polls and the day voters will actually enter the voting booth on Nov. 8. City administrators, including Mayor Pat Hays, said that though scheduling the election so quickly might look like a rush, the proposed tax is meant to cover concerns the city has had for years.
The proposals were approved at a 10 a.m. Sept. 23 emergency meeting of the North Little Rock City Council. The city is asking voters to approve a two-part tax. Half a cent would be permanent, and would go toward hiring more firefighters and police, building and staffing a new fire station in the east end of the city, and upgrading North Little Rock's emergency communications system, among other projects. The other half-cent would sunset in 2017, and Mayor Pat Hays has said it would be set aside for roads, bridges and job creation projects. One of the planned projects if the taxes pass is the purchase of 2,000 acres in the eastern part of the city, which will be developed into a "business park" — possibly including a new home for the Arkansas State Fair. At their most recent meeting on Oct. 20, the Arkansas Livestock Show Association Board said that they are holding fire on the continuing search for a new location for the State Fair until they see whether the North Little Rock taxes pass or not.
If both proposals are approved by voters, the additional one cent would raise the total sales tax in North Little Rock to nine percent. The emergency meeting came less than two weeks after Little Rock approved its own two-part penny sales tax. The North Little Rock tax vote will be piggy-backed onto a statewide Nov. 8 bond election that benefits road construction.
Ward 2 Alderman Maurice Taylor said that the tax will help with infrastructure projects that have been on the drawing board for years.
If someone spends $10,000 a year in North Little Rock, Taylor noted, the additional tax would only amount to $100 (though, of course, the total tax amount would be $900). "The beauty of a sales tax is, everybody pays," he said. "If a kid goes and buys a stick of gum, he pays taxes on it. If you go and buy a car, you pay taxes. If you spend a lot of money, you pay more taxes. If you don't spend a lot, you don't pay much."
Not everyone is a fan. Joanne Filiatreau, who lives in Sherwood and is one of the founding members of the Arkansas Tea Party, said the group plans to go door-to-door and hand out 5,000 flyers in opposition to the tax. "It doesn't matter if they rammed it through in an hour or a month," she said. "In this economic climate today that each and every family is living in, it is just the wrong time to increase the tax."
Murry Witcher, who represents North Little Rock's Ward 4, which includes Lakewood, Indian Hills and Overbrook, was on vacation at the time of the Sept. 23 vote, but said he personally supports the tax. Witcher said the city is in its budget cycle for 2012 and needs to know the funds they have to work with.
"We need an idea of what funds we're going to [have on hand] to provide increases in cost-of-living for our employees, and salary increases," he said. "There's a whole lot that's predicated on whether this passes or not, from a budget standpoint." While Witcher acknowledged two weeks prior to the election that he doesn't believe the majority of North Little Rock voters know there's a vote on Nov. 8, he said Hays and several aldermen have been working to get the word out, and newspaper stories will help as well.
Mayor Pat Hays said the "meat and potatoes concerns" behind the tax proposal are long-term issues that have been waiting for funds for years.
Hays said that the success of the one-cent sale tax proposal in Little Rock had a part to play with proposing the election in North Little Rock. With the new funds, Little Rock plans to go to an all-digital emergency communications system. Because North Little Rock "backbones" onto the Little Rock system, Hays said North Little Rock will have to upgrade its system to be able to effectively communicate in the event of a bi-city emergency. "That's a non-issue as far as whether we're going to do it or not," he said. "That's going to be about a $5 million dollar cost, so whether we pass our sales tax or not, we're going to have to find a way to do that." In addition, Hays said that with funds from Little Rock's penny sales tax, "Little Rock is going to be going in the market for somewhere in excess of 60 new officers. We're behind them in salaries right now, and we're going to need to be competitive."
While Hays admits that he's never heard a member of the public say it's a good time to raise taxes, he said part of the half-cent tax that sunsets in five years will go toward job creation. As an example, he points to the North Little Rock Caterpillar plant, which opened in September 2010. "We wouldn't have Caterpillar out here if North Little Rock hadn't been able to step up with a good part of the incentive package that the state partnered on in order to get the company to locate here. That's upwards of 600 jobs."
Hays said that asking more of citizens in the way of taxation is just the way things are headed in many municipalities. "Those cities that are truly going to lay a pathway to the future are going to be those that recognize that they're going to need to look more at their own front doors and look at themselves to do the things that make their cities better, rather than to look to state or federal partnerships."

Are you tired of chasing "earn money fast" methods in hopes that THIS TIME, you have found a way that actually works? Then make yourself a promise right now – read this whole article. Then take action – follow every step and don't stop till you're done. If you do, I promise you that you not only will earn money fast – you will make money today – even within the next hour or two.
The best part? You will make money with no money. There is no investment here. Just an honest (albeit unconventional) method to earn money fast.
This method is known as Paid Forum Trading, but it has nothing to do with stocks, don't worry.
I was extremely broke last year and I used this wonderful method to earn money fast – to the tune of almost $400 in 4 days. Not bad when you consider that I sat in the comfort of my own home, sipping coffee and working on my computer. From what I remember, I'd say I didn't put in any more than 3-4 hours per day.
Although its specifically designed for someone to earn money fast, this method does have some limitations. The main one is that there is a cap to how much money you can make. After working for about a week, you'll top-out, at which point you won't make much money anymore. However, by that time, you will have made several hundred dollars, which, when you're running low on cash, is a real life saver!
Remember, this is not a "business opportunity" – this is a very straightforward, honest way to earn money fast – as in today. (Having said that, there IS a way to turn this into a full-time living – for free of course. This is covered in detail on the web-site, for those of you who want to go beyond just making quick money).
…you know that feeling you get when you put on a jacket you haven't worn in a long time and find a $20 bill in your pocket? That's how a lot of people describe this method – myself included. It blows my mind how someone came up with this concept to earn money fast, and how, several years later, it still works – every time.
For more information on this method, visit: http://makemoneyfastthehonestway.com

And Guess What I'm Doing TODAY?
Hitting the rifle range with Brad_in_MA. His range has a 200 yard berm, and I'll be bringing the York Arms Conspirator to stretch her legs...
Brad wants to sight in his Marlin 60 at 75 yards, hence the spotting scope. There's also the Ruger 10/22 Takedown and the Kel-Tec SUB2000 as well as the Rossi 92 for some 50 - 100 yard fun. Might even get some pistol time on the pistol range if time allows.
This has the makings of a very good day indeed...
That is all.

I'm jealous. Got a brand new revolver for Buy a Gun Day (not really, the timing just worked out that way) and then I hurt my foot so I can't go to the range.
You guys have fun, which I know you will.

Hey All,
Brad_in_MA here. A number of comments.
The Conspirator is a work of art in steel & plastic. Wally, a job VERY well done. When funds allow, I have GOT to get me one of those. The Conspirator would be a great rifle for taking Prairie Dogs, only Colorado went full dumb-dumb and enacted all sorts of stupid nonsense that calls into question the legality of bringing such a rifle into CO.
Didn't sight in the Marlin for 75 yards. The left to right cross-winds were just a tad strong for my liking. But I did learn a valuable lesson. The Remington golden-bullet ammo shoots quite differently from Federal in that rifle. I think I'll stick to Federal, when I can find it.
Part of shooting is of course reloading. Jay quite liked my Spee-d-15 speed loader to expedite loading the Marlin. I got the 15 round variety 'cause it fits in my ammo box.
Shot the Kel-Tec . . . didn't really like it. I've shot a high-point 4095 and that was a bit more to my liking. It just felt a bit more substantial.
Also shot some 9mm through Jay's vintage Browning High Power. Nice pistol but couldn't hit squat. Maybe with better sights. ;->
Jay did a couple unexpected things with pistols at 100 yards. I'm sure he'll write about it. And yes, before your collective minds get too deep in the gutter, all were rated-G.
More later . . . watch this space.

If Colorado won't let you bring the Conspirator in, set up a firing line in someplace free and shoot over the border. Lots of people talk about being able to shoot varmints in the next state, but not many have actually done it.
I've found Remington Golden Bullets to vary a lot in power, from the crack of a nice full power shot all the way down to the click of a dud. They're okay if you want to practice clearing a malfunction. I find CCI is pretty consistent. (I need to get a Marlin 60. NY's magazine limit specifically excludes rimfire guns with tubular mags.)
Sounds like you guys had fun.

Dave H.,
Get a Marlin 60. They are TONS of FUN for very short money. I got mine used for $75 but I bet you could pick up one new for less than $175. I have an el-cheapo 4x power scope on mine 'cause I got nearly 50 year old astigmatic crappy eyes.
The Rem fodder was a bit inconsistent. I had exactly ONE stovepipe in the Marlin but all other rounds shot and cycled just fine. Impact point was a tad lower and to the right compared to where Federal bulk usually hits.
And lastly, Jay was just about smitten with my speed-d-loader model spee-d-15. For loading a tube feed, pull the plunger, dump the rounds insert the plunger, and rack the bolt. It seems to take far less time to refill the spee-d than to reload the tube.

If it was even slightly shady, the regulators (a department for every state, plus the SEC, FTC & NASD) would drop on them like a bag of bricks.That's a F-A-C-T.Top Regulatory Issues Facing the Insurance Industry in 2012If 2011 did not usher in a wave of regulatory and corporate compliance concerns for insurance carriers, 2012 certainly will. Each sector – be it life, health, property and casualty, or reinsurance – should begin preparing to address what's on the horizon. Starting with the largest and most complex carriers, possible designation as a Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) is a main concern. This designation would result in federal oversight, something new for many carriers. Much of the associated regulation is yet to be determined, but increased capital, reporting and examination requirements are expected, as is the development and maintenance of a resolution plan, commonly called a "living will." For those insurance companies owning depository institutions, bank holding company requirements such as required capital levels and frequency of examinations are additional concerns. Recently announced sales or planned divestitures of banking subsidies by big-name carriers suggest trepidation among many in the industry about these new requirements. There also are concerns about increased oversight by the banking regulators, and in some instances the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Carriers are typically not accustomed to this level of oversight, which may overlay existing insurance regulation yet would still require compliance. However, regardless of comfort level, companies with operations that include a bank must prepare for more stringent regulation of the banking industry in the United States and should be proactive in understanding the impact it has on their organization.More at http://www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com/top-regulatory-is...

TOMS RIVER, N.J. - July 18, 2013 --Authorities have accused a Megan's Law sex offender of hiding a camera in a bedroom to tape three girls and a woman.
Charles Catalano of Medford is held in the Ocean County jail on $150,000 bail.
The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office says the camera was placed in a home in Long Beach Township.
The 47-year-old is charged with production of child pornography, invasion of privacy depicting nudity and invasion of privacy.
Catalano is registered as a Tier 2 Megan's Law offender who poses a moderate risk to the public. He was convicted in 1993 of engaging in sexual exhibitionism in public.

Prickliness and how to handle it...help my hero to not say 'I don't believe it...'
I'm talking about prickly heroes. Now, I'm a huge fan (along with a majority of the female population) of Kate Johnson's hero, Harker, from The Untied Kingdom. He is probably best described as 'a little prickly'. Jack, my male lead in Star Struck, is another one.
I got to thinking about this, because in my Work In Progress (provisionally entitled, at the moment, 'Living in the Past'), my hero, Duncan, a Scots archaeologist (he's from Dundee, he doesn't deal solely with fossilised kilts, if you see what I mean), is prickly. In fact, at the beginning, he is downright rude, and it got me thinking...
At what point do our characters cross the line? I am well known for my dislike of the Alpha Hero (oy, mate, nobody tells me what's best for me...), but at what point does the person trying to get you out of the way of danger become a bossy, overbearing idiot? Likewise, at what point does the prickly, touchy hero (Duncan is under permanent suspicion by the police for something he may (or may not, I'm not giving away my plot here) have done. It makes him a little bit...tetchy, shall we say), become obviously rude and unpleasant? At what point does a character lose our sympathy and gain a smack around the face (and/or laxatives in the coffee, if one is a non-directly confrontational person)?
At first I thought it might be down to how the heroine handles him. If she seems to sweep away his remarks and dismiss his bossiness, can we overlook it and see if for what (presumably) the author intended? But then I thought about all those books I've read where I have wanted to seize the heroine by both shoulders and shake her until she wees herself, whilst shouting 'run! Run far, run fast, this man wants you compliant as soon as possible!' while she is simpering at the hero and going along with his, usually quite frankly scary, suggestions.
So, come on everyone, tell me. Is it your own prejudices and experience that makes a hero cross the line? Or is it the writing? When does that attractively irritable hero become an abusive, angry man? When does the protectively commanding behaviour become bossy oppression?
And you'd better let me know fast, before Duncan degenerates into Victor Meldrew...

Victor Meldrew = definitely not sexy! You asked a tricky question and as a reader I'd say I know it when I read it but couldn't pin it down.

It's the Mr Rochester syndrome, isn't it? Very tricky to deal with, but I've always enjoyed your male main characters - and I am by no means a romance reader!
I think there has to be some redeeming quality amongst the irritating ones which is obvious from the outset (and nothing too cheesy like being kind to furry animals and small children - or is it the other way about...?) A quick wit and a good turn of phrase gets my attention, for example, and shows he may be grumpy but redeemable. And unjustified gittishness mustn't be his default setting - there should be the suggestion from the start that, given the right circumstances, he can and will adapt.

I think it depends on the character. Like Margaret said - they must have some redeeming qualities. They can SAY really horrible things and get away with it if they DO nice things (whilst grumbling, if necessary). If they are 100% grumpy bugger, then I'd probably get annoyed and stop reading.

Harker. *Swoon*. Sorry, yes, very tricky one - I was hoping to read the answer here! I guess it's in the writing - so you've no worries on that one!

Fort Belvoir is in the first stages of a program that can help the installation provide care for its members during a crisis.
Community shielding, a concept developed by the Critical Incident Analysis Group at the University of Virginia, is a public preparedness strategy to shelter citizens in place during a weapons of mass destruction attack or other large scale catastrophe, said Gregory Saathoff, associate professor of research and executive director of the CIAG at UVA.
"Even if people prepare with two to three days supplies, it won't sufficiently meet the needs for a pandemic flu," Saathoff said. The purpose of this survey is to determine military installation public education, planning and response needs related to a nuclear, chemical or biological attack or other major event.
Location and mission made Fort Belvoir an ideal place for the survey, Saathoff said.
"Its general location and its integral mission [make Fort Belvoir] a facility that deserves attention and it will serve as a model for other installations," Saathoff said.
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences is currently conducting the first phase of the process by interviewing people at Fort Belvoir to help develop questions for a survey, which will help the organizations see how prepared Belvoir is.
USUHS will interview representatives from the installation's directorates and tenant organizations.
"I will talk to people and find out what they think are the problems at Fort Belvoir," Dr. Bob Gifford, a senior scientist in the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress at the USUHS said. "This survey will be tailored to Fort Belvoir to get information that the planners at Fort Belvoir can use."
USUHS will develop the survey and plans to distribute it this winter to all personnel at Fort Belvoir.
UVA, George Washington University and USUHS are joining forces to conduct and analyze the survey.
"How well you are prepared beforehand drives how well you come out of the event," said Gifford, who is a retired Army colonel. "Our job is not to tell how prepared Fort Belvoir is. Our job is to give information to the people who are making plans for Fort Belvoir."
Nancy MacNamara, director of plans, training, mobilization and security at Fort Belvoir is currently assisting USUHS in setting up interviews with stakeholders at Fort Belvoir to help develop the survey.
"No matter what occurs [individual organizations] have a certain mission that they must continue to perform," said MacNamara. "In order to perform those missions, they need their people safe. Fort Belvoir agencies are going to benefit from both a mission perspective and from a people perspective."
The Fort Belvoir survey is based on a survey that was given to more than 1,000 residents in the National Capital Region by UVA.
"Fort Belvoir is honored to be the Army's pilot study and beneficiary of the valuable data that will come from the completed project," Installation Commander Col. Brian Lauritzen said.

text: Hamilton posthumously revives this archetypal Brer Rabbit tale with a Gullah-inflected rendition, to which Ransome supplies Jerry Pinkney–influenced watercolor scenes of clothed, but naturalistically rendered animals. Finding evidence that lazy Bruh Rabbit's been helping himself to his hard-won crops, Bruh Wolf sets up a rag scarecrow, which fools Bruh Rabbit not a bit, then a tarry, long-eared doe whose silence irritates Rabbit into attacking: "Missy Girl, keeping her mouth shut. Bruh Rabbit took a bite. GUNK! His nose stuck! He sure was one rabbit stuck on somebody!" Young readers may wonder how Bruh Wolf can be canny enough to construct the trap, yet foolish enough to think that chucking his cagey captive into a briar patch would be a punishment—but, that's how the story goes, and the wolf seems only mildly peeved in the final scene. A note on the tale, and on Bruh Rabbit as a character, caps this handsome edition, seemingly destined to become the standard one in libraries. (Picture book/folk tale. 7-9)

(Memphis) A Shelby County correctional worker is finding out what it's like being an inmate, because now he is one.
Taylor Layne is behind bars, accused of using his position as a nurse at the correctional facility to sneak in drugs and other contraband.
Authorities say Layne was reporting to work Tuesday at the correctional facility and, like all workers, had to go through the scanner, but they say when he went through, it kept going off.
Correctional officers say when they asked Layne to empty his pockets, he started sweating, acted nervous, paced the floor and tried to leave the building.
Officers say when they told him the doors were locked and he couldn't go, Layne threw several packages wrapped in electrical tape on the floor.
Detectives say inside the packages were more than 120 grams of marijuana, hydrocodone and Xanax pills, 13 packs of cigarettes and, what probably got him caught, a cellphone SIM card that made the metal detector go off.
Shelby County Director of Corrections Jim Coleman says out of 400 workers who serve at this prison on Mullins Station, Layne had been working there for just 78 days as a nurse.
"There is nobody who is immune from doing dumb things. Dumb has no occupational qualifications," said Coleman.
If convicted, Layne will likely lose his nursing license and could spend years on the other side of the barbed wire.
Coleman says he believes the vast majority of his employees are on the right side of the law and things have improved at the facility since last April, when inmates posted video on Facebook showing a stockpile of contraband and prisoners living the high life.
"The good will always win," said Coleman.
Layne's bail is set at $25,000.

Originally Published at Thelibertarianadvisor.com

One reason I almost never get into the subject of religion is that I personally have a hard enough time trying to prove things that are 100% verifiable fact. I do believe in a higher sense of power but I piss enough people off with politics that I usually stay out of religion. That was until I started studying the elite.
See this video for a glimpse into Spirit cooking.
One theme that kept reappearing was the elite's obsession with the Occult and Satan. Whether it's Hillary's mentor Saul Alinsky dedicating his book "Rules for Radicals" to Lucifer.
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer."
Or whether it's Alex Jones sneaking into Bohemian Grove and filming the elite engaged in complete rapture as they burn effigy's of babies. (under the watchful eye of a 40 foot owl of Minerva. The owl is a symbol of the original Bavarian Illuminatti)
The theme of satanism, pedophilia and other deplorable behavior kept creeping up over and over again. Even the former highest ranking member of the NSA was an admitted Satanist who started his own Satanic Church. This was after he allegedly had a calling from Lucifer himself to break away from Alister Crowley's Church of Satan because it wasn't Satanic enough!
Here he is on Oprah. You have to see this to believe it.
Getting back to Podesta. According to an infowars.com article by Paul Joseph Watson.
"What is "spirit cooking"?
Spirit cooking refers to "a sacrament in the religion of Thelema which was founded by Aleister Crowley" and involves an occult performance during which menstrual blood, breast milk, urine and sperm are used to create a "painting".
According to Marina Abramovic, if the ritual is performed in an art gallery, it is merely art, but if the ritual is performed privately, then it represents an intimate spiritual ceremony.
The video embedded above depicts the bizarre nature of the ceremony. Abramovic mixes together thickly congealed blood as the "recipe" for the "painting," which is comprised of the words, "With a sharp knife cut deeply into the middle finger of your left hand eat the pain."
The ceremony is, "meant to symbolize the union between the microcosm, Man, and the macrocosm, the Divine, which is a representation of one of the prime maxims in Hermeticism "As Above, So Below."
"Abramovic is known for her often-gory art that confronts pain and ritual. Her first performance involved repeatedly, stabbing herself in her hands. The next performance featured her throwing her nails, toenails, and hair into a flaming five-point star — which she eventually jumped inside of, causing her to lose consciousness," writes Cassandra Fairbanks.
Another image shows Abramovic posing with a bloody goat's head – a representation of the occult symbol Baphomet.
Spirit cooking is also an "occult practice used during sex cult rituals, as explained in the book "Spirit cooking with essential aphrodisiac recipes," notes Mike Cernovich.
The revelation that John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, is presumably interested in weird, gory occult ceremonies was too juicy for even Wikileaks to ignore.
"The Podestas' "Spirit Cooking" dinner? It's not what you think. It's blood, sperm and breastmilk. But mostly blood," the organization tweeted.
Some are even linking the spirit cooking revelation to claims that the Podesta emails contain"code for child sex trafficking" that is hidden behind mentions of types of food.
Others are connecting it to Laura Silsby, the missionary who was jailed for six months after her organization, New Life Children's Refuge, attempted to smuggle 33 children out of Haiti into the Dominican Republic after the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Wikileaks emails reveal that Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin forwarded numerous articles about New Life Children's Refuge to Clinton.
"Julian Assange claimed that the Wikileaks would send Hillary Clinton to prison," writes Cernovich. "The releases initially disappointed many people, this reporter included, as the evidence of corruption was slim. Assange was right. The real story was hidden in view."
While the child trafficking and pedophile connections to Clinton remain unproven, the fact that her campaign chairman is apparently into spooky occult rituals involving menstrual blood and semen is easily one of the most disturbing Wikileaks revelations to date."" -Paul Joseph Watson
So here we have one of Hillary's closest confidants going to Spirt dinners while her other confidant, Huma Abedin pals around with Ossama Bin Laden's half brother. This is also not to mention the fact her father is a huge advocate of Sharia Law, while her mom is an editor of a publication that advocates for mutilating women's genitals. There are also plenty of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Between these connections, Hillary's Wall St connections and ISIS connections… at what point does voting for Hillary make you an accomplice or at least guarantee you a 1 way ticket to hell.
At the end of the day none of this is new to me or to many of my readers but this news is new to many potential voters so please make sure you share this. The most elite family in the world would be the royal family (Real name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha), so it's not surprising we see these developments when the royal family are direct descendents of Vlad Tepes aka Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula!!!!

The Guild Wars 2 blog has been updated with a new post from Bill Freist, part of ArenaNet's QA department. Freist's job in the post is to talk about how the team is working to ensure a smooth, stable experience by implementing back end changes and optimizations to the game engine.
Guild Wars 2 engine programmers have made major client-side and back-end improvements over the past couple of months, including several different kinds of optimizations that have led to performance gains. Because we strive to ensure the smoothest player experience possible, we try to implement these changes only when they've been appropriately tested to ensure stability. This has led to the fluctuation in performance that many players have experienced through the Beta Weekend Events and stress tests.

Back in December I wrote about a fierce young Marine Corps recruit who was told that she couldn't have "ATHEIST" on her records and dogtags. I gave her some advice; she fought back, and won.
She recently graduated from Boot Camp in top form. She had a blast despite the USMC's grueling 13 week training. It's clear that becoming a Marine is something she is quite proud of. If you'd like to congratulate her, do so in the comments here – I'm certain she'll see it. This is long, but certainly worth the read.
Unfortunately, it wasn't all good. There are some shocking details in this otherwise inspirational letter.
Sergeant Griffith,
I did it! I successfully earned the title of Marine and graduated from boot camp yesterday morning. I cannot begin to describe how proud and happy I am to have accomplished my goal. I never broke physically; I had a boot bite for 5 weeks which wasn't pleasant but once I got new boots my foot healed, and some gnarly blisters after the Crucible that the Corpsman made me go to medical for "just in case" (much to my great annoyance). Since blisters were the worst thing that happened to me, I would say I came out ahead.
Believe it or not, I had a lot of fun during the Crucible; it was amazing to see the women I'd been training with come together and gel as a team to complete the obstacles, and pull each other through. There were 19 heat cases during the Crucible (I heard a rumor it got up to 114 degrees at one point), but all in the male company – our Corpsmen were very happy with us females, as they were tired of giving out silver bullets. Only one female failed to complete the Crucible – she fell badly and broke her hand on the initial hump out, which is unfortunate, but she'll heal up and will eventually get there, I'm sure.
To give you a quick run down of what an atheist recruit can accomplish at MCRD Parris Island without the supposed help of a deity, I earned:
– High scores on my CFT and PFT, (making me a member of the 285+ club, which goes in my Record Service Book)
– Sharpshooter with my rifle (nicknamed Hiro Protagonist; our PMI said we had to name our rifles, and yes, I'm that nerdy)
– Top 10% of my platoon, ranked 3 of 64 (only the guide and series guide received higher pros/cons), so I received a Meritorious Mast.
– Held the billet of 'Knowledge Recruit,' so I worked closely with our Knowledge Hat to help everyone study for all our tests. I gave up most of my free time as a result for the majority of our time at boot camp, but we didn't drop anyone for failing knowledge!
As far as religion and my training, I did go to church three times, once to Contemporary Christian, once to Traditional Christian, both times to get away from the DIs during the first two weeks of boot camp, and once to Catholic to see a friend who was six weeks ahead of me in training who had just completed her Crucible and earned the title of Marine in order to congratulate her before she enjoyed her Liberty Sunday. The Christian services themselves weren't bad, just a little too hokey for my comfort at the Contemporary Christian service.

To the author,
Good for you!!! I went to Navy Boot in Great lakes at the end of 1970. I have a lot to say about my early life and waiting for something to "make me believe all this", but when I joined, I didn't know any better than put down roman catholic. They made me the catholic religious recruit petty officer, (hmmm). I was supposed to march all the company catholics to mass and turn in a muster sheet. Every week, all the catholics, (most fron New York City), didn't want to go. I didn't care and didn't press the issue. There was just one nerd that really was devout catholic that went with me. I turned in a false muster report every week and never got caught. It was my way of letting my fellow recruits be who they wanted to be. Going to mass got me out of the barracks on Sunday, and an extra smoke break. Didn't mean beans to me what the padre had to say.
I spent 22 years active duty, and another 20 as an engineer for the DON, (F/A-18 hydraulics). In retro, I wish I had your fortitude and conviction in my early years.

Last time, I read a book about the performance evaluation of human resource and I compare it with my experience. I think, there are more important to focussing in human resources because they manage, organize and carry out activities within the organization. Moreover, we need to evaluate and improve their performance. Good HR has impact that good performance for HR and organize. There are relationships described below achieving individual and organizational performance based on the approach to psychological and organizational, culture and religion. The performance of HR.
Phychological and organizational approach based on the opinion of some psychologists, they argue that the bottleneck of economic development does not occur in developing countries since most people do not have high achievement motivation, but they have a low achievement motivation.
In developing country like Indonesian, most HR do not have the creative and innovative spirit. They have a poor of emotional intelligence, such as, jealousy, envy, hate, hurt, resentment, inferiority, prone to depression, irritability, not like other people more successful and mutually dropped slandering fellow workers and colleagues themselves. In developed country, they are more entrepreneurs than in developing countries. As we all know that entrepreneurs are creative people, they dare to take the risk and have a strategic ideas to expand their business. They have positive thinking to go ahead.
According to Charles Scheiber concludes his research that: "The success of one's life is determined formal education is only 15%, while 85% longer determined by the mental attitude."
Cultures and religions approach. We know that all religions emphasize that we do honest, discipline, hard work, respect at work, respect for time, continuous evaluation, adherent to the values prevailing in society.
So the HR Management business organization, which is based on the good psychological and organizational, culture and religion approach, it would be able to achieve the maximum performance.

Twelve people have died and more are feared dead after the huge fire which destroyed a tower block in west London.
Flames tore through the 24-storey Grenfell Tower in north Kensington overnight, leaving people trapped on upper floors - some holding babies out of windows and others jumping from their
Some bodies have been removed from the smouldering remains of the building, which contains 120 flats thought to be home to between 400 and 600 people.
Commander Stuart Cundy of the Metropolitan Police said: "Sadly I can confirm that there are now 12 people that have died that we know of.
"This is going to be a long and complex recovery operation and I do anticipate that the number of fatalities will sadly increase beyond those 12."
Fire crews are continuing to tackle "pockets of fire" in the building with many people still unaccounted for.
Steve Apter, director of safety and assurance at London Fire Brigade, said: "I can confirm I have had firefighters manage to get through particularly arduous conditions up to the top floor."
London Fire Brigade said it had rescued 65 people from the building.
Mr Cundy added: "Whilst we may have accessed every floor that is not the same as a full search of the whole building, and as I said while we currently sadly have 12 fatalities, I do
believe that figure will rise and sadly I don't anticipate that there will be further survivors."
NHS England said 74 patients were treated in six hospitals across London. Thirty four patients remain in hospital including 18 who are in critical care.

Company offers pointless £100k car wash
A Fife car washing company, for some inexplicable reason, are offering a £100,000 car wash. The Ultimate Shine are using special Carnauba wax, which alone costs £65,000.
Paul Wilkins, the git who runs and owns the company, is aiming to attract high-profile customers.
In Fife?
He said: "Well, for that price I will fly out to any location in the world. I'm usually dealing with serious car collectors who have temperature-controlled showrooms. We're not talking about cars which are parked up on the side of the road so I travel to wherever they are kept."
He added: "I might need to go over it hundreds of times to make sure it is 100% clear of any marks. Each job is so different but what I say is that, for the £100,000 price, I will work on the car for as long as it takes. I'm a perfectionist so sometimes it's taken me a few months before I'm happy to hand the keys back."
In other news, celebrities and people who own expensive cars continue to have their cars cleaned in the exact same manner they did previously.

- Mustapha S.Theres a place near me that does detailing for high end cars for £5k. Puts them back in showroom condition in around 3 weeks, so this bloke is priced right out the game.
- Mustapha S.And just noticed from the link... "The wax alone costs £65,000." WHAT THE FUCK?! Is it made by Apple?
- jimand just after hes finished waxing it a bird shats on the bonnet. haha
- JoulupukkiCarnauba wax is used on the outer coating of Minstrels. I wonder how many bags I could buy for £100,000? I like Minstrels.
- Justin A.Or keep the £100K and buy a new car. Let's see how Paul Wilkins' ideas fare on Dragons' Den!
- AlexisEven the top end waxes at £100+ come in tubs that will last for years and years. You only need to apply a miniscule layer of wax otherwise you can't get it off the car once its cured. 100 layers of wax is utterly pointless.
- shiftyniftyIs it a iphone.....
- SicknoteImagine if you; you're Chris Evan and you own the rarest Ferrari California valued at several million quid. You really think that 100K is stumbling block in getting that sexy beast into showroom condition..?
- DickThey use wax extracted from the ears of gnats, or some shit like that.
- JasminehatesnewbarnetBut what I dont get is this guy Paul says he can keep the car for months cleaning it till its perfect. Thing is how do the owners get to drive it then? Could be a sneaky way to get access to high end cars. He keeps it months, the owners think he is doing his high priest polishing magic wax rites, and all that time he is racing round in some slinky Bugatti!

Environmentalists oppose gov't plan to mine bauxite in Atewa Forest Reserve
ConservationNature March 17, 2017 ENA Ghana 0
The government of Ghana may face stiff opposition from Environmentalists over plan to mine bauxite deposit in the Atewa Forest reserve which is a high forest zone in the Country.
Some Environmentalists have vowed to oppose the intended move by government due to the importance of the Atewa Forest reserve in the Country.
The high deforestation rate of Ghana estimated around 2% per annum, is fast wiping away Ghana"s forests reserves.According to the Forestry Commission of Ghana, mining ,agriculture, fuel wood, and illegal logging are the major cause of deforestation in the country. Deforestation rate in Ghana is third highest worldwide after Togo and Nigeria.Since 1950's ,the West African Country has loss 60% of its forest reserves.
The Atewa Range Forest Reserve is about 23,663 hactares which is part of an ecosystem known as the Upper Guinea Forest. The Atewa Range which spans across Akyem Abuakwa area, is noted one of the two such forests left remaining in Ghana.
Apart from the Atewa forest serving as ecosystem and biodiversity ,it also provides headwaters for three major river systems, the Ayensu, Densu and Birim rivers. These rivers are the most important source of domestic and industrial water for local communities as well as Ghana's major populations such as its capital Accra. Atewa forest provides global medicinal needs as it presents an unlimited array of species, both flora and fauna with pharmaceutical properties of tropical species.
The scientific and educational value of the forests is incalculable. The rain-forest has wide variety of habitats (permanent streams, swamps, closed forest, and natural clearings) support a rich fauna.Atewa forest also harbours gold and bauxite in enviable amount .
Nine new species have been identified in Atewa forest ,already the forest is habitat to the critically endangered frog species (Conraua derooi) whose presence in Atewa may represent the last viable population in the world.
Despite being disturbed recently by invasion of illegal miners, topographic variability and the diversity of plants and animals provide considerable potential for tourism, especially as the Atewa Range is the nearest rain forest to Accra.Activists have been pushing for the forest to be turned into a national park to breed more economic benefits.
Ghana's President, Nana Akufo-Addo has announced this year that, the bauxite deposits at Kyebi which forms part of the Atewa forest and Nyinahin will be mined to manufacture machine parts within the country to create jobs for the youth.
However ,Mr.Emmanue Akom,Kibi Area Manager of Arocha Ghana says ecological services and benefits of the Atewa forest reserve supersede the intended purpose of government hence the decision must be think through and rescinded .
He said,mining in the forest reserve will affect the three major rivers which over 5million depend,destroys wildlife ,lead to loss of biodiversity, lead to extinction of some species ,and affects negatively, agricultural activities in the surrounding communities .
Meanwhile ,Environmental Eye Ghana,an Environmental activism group says, it is a misplaced priority for the Government to invade the forest for resources to execute his numerous campaign promises without recourse to its environmental implications and sustainability for the future generation .
The group said government failure to curb illegal mining in Kibi and its environs has led to unprecedented degradation and pollution of major river bodies in the Kibi area hence mining bauxite in the forest would worsen the environmental woes in the area.
A petition dubbed "Save Atewa Forest Now " had been mounting pressure on the Government of Ghana "to ban mining in Atewa Forest Reserve.According to the Petitioners, " Mining will provide short-term income, but it will forever degrade or destroy ecosystem services, such as good fresh water for millions of people. We ask you to make Atewa a National Park and so benefit present and future generation".
The Atewa forest reserve was created in 1926, declared Special Biological Protection Area in 1994, one of Ghana's 30 Globally Significant Biodiversity Areas (GSBAs) in 1999 and in 2001 was listed as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International.
