Divorce Attorneys In Ogden, Utah: Let Us Help You Through This Stressful Time
Divorce is a legal decree that a marriage no longer exists. The process of divorce generally involves addressing financial needs of the parties and their children, custody ownership of the children, and dividing marital property. Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman have years of experience surrounding divorce cases. We specialize in cases that resolve in the most basic way to the most complex issues. Most importantly, we are compassionate about the issues that may arise in this most challenging and emotional time.
Uncontested Divorce
Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman specialize in both uncontested and contested divorce cases. Uncontested divorce when both parties have come to an agreement on how the divorce will be settled. It typically ends with the personal property divided among the two, the caregiver is decided among them, and visitation rights are scheduled amicably which includes consideration of holidays, birthdays, and school vacations. Child support is worked out, but that is usually determined by the courts. The two parties agree to whether there will be any spousal support for one of them. Most uncontested divorces are settled in a give and take process, involving the couple and their respective lawyers.
Contested Divorce
Contested divorce is a bit more difficult. This comes when there is substantial income or property or a dispute as to who should be the primary caregiver. Typically, contested divorce takes place in a courtroom on a motion for temporary orders. At the conclusion, the court will enter an order that temporarily addresses alimony, custody, child support, and property division. Both parties will be required to attend mediation prior to trial. In the event that the parities are not able to reach an agreement through mediation or otherwise, the case will proceed to trial at with the court will permanently decide issues such as alimony, custody, child support, and property division.
Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman is experienced to know how to obtain everything you deserve. We are here to help things run smoothly. Call us today.
The family and domestic law and litigation team at Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman is experienced in assisting clients with all legal aspects of divorce, including matters involving the following:
Temporary Orders
Temporary Orders
A divorce can take months or even years to finalize. In many cases one parent is in need of an immediate decision from the courts governing child custody, parent-time, child support, alimony, or division of marital property. Utah courts can order "Temporary Orders" to help both parties sort things out in a longer period of time. Sometimes these things end amicably and others are sorted through heated debates where the courts need to get involved to find a solution.
Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman hold a sympathetic ear and are here to help you sort things out. We will fight for everything you deserve. We have the knowledge and experience to walk through mediation where things can end peacefully, but we are also willing and prepared to battle this to the end. We offer informed legal advice and strong legal advocacy while your divorce is ongoing.
Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman will help protect you and your family with the necessary temporary orders available. Contact us to guide you through these uncertain times.
In many divorce cases, alimony issues arise. One party is the "breadwinner" and the other the "homemaker." Both roles are essential in a marriage. Alimony is an attempt to equalize both roles after the marriage ceases to exist.
Alimony is an award of financial support upon divorce, essentially requiring the "breadwinner" to continue to financially support the "homemaker." In Utah, courts consider a wide variety of factors in determining whether to award alimony, including the following:
- The financial condition and needs of the recipient spouse
- The recipient's earning capacity or ability to produce income
- The ability of the payer spouse to provide support
- The length of the marriage
- Whether the recipient spouse has custody of minor children requiring support
Ordinarily, an award of alimony is set to last the number of years that the marriage existed, and alimony terminates upon the recipient spouse's cohabitation, remarriage, or death.
Alimony settlements can affect your ability to move forward with your life. A skillful lawyer will always choose what is in the best interest of their client. On the other hand, the opposing side also desires that as well. This is where the difficulty comes in, when both attorneys champion the same for each of their clients' rights. This is where skill and years of practice make a difference when it comes to negotiating a resolution that will satisfy the parties. Our alimony attorneys will first attempt to assist in obtaining an amicable resolution and look to litigation only when an agreement cannot be reached.
Alimony settlements can affect your ability to move forward with your life. Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman recognizes this and is here to give you the representation you deserve. Contact us to speak with one of our alimony attorneys.

We know you want what is best for you children. Allow Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman to fight for your parental rights and child custody.
Child Support
Child Support
The courts will always attempt to consider the best welfare of the child. The law holds that both parents are required to provide support. Once the divorce is finalized, one parent will be the primary custodian and the other may be ordered to pay child support.
For child support, there are usually guidelines that determine how much one parent will pay to the other. The guidelines involve factors such as each parent's monthly income, the number of children in question, medical insurance expenses for the children, work related child care expenses, and the amount of time each parent will spend with the children based on the custody agreement. Child support payments are usually determined by a court formula. Click here to see the Utah Court's child support calculator.
If a parent refuses to pay child support, he or she may have their wages garnished or assets seized and could be held in contempt of court.
Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman is on your side. They have the experience and knowledge on how to keep your child getting the support he/she needs.
It's not just you anymore. Call Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman to get the child support you need to provide for your children.
Property Distribution
Property Distribution
Property acquired during the marriage is subject to 'equitable' division by the court. Equitable simply means fair. It doesn't necessarily mean equal. However, in long term marriages, equitable may mean close to 50–50 split. There are other factors included, such as length of marriage, occupations, age, and health, as well as other sources of income.
Keep in mind, equitable division is used by property gained during the marriage. There is also 'separate' property, which is property acquired by each party before the marriage, inherited property, or property received as a gift. Typically, each respective party will keep their separate property, unless it has been sufficiently commingled to a point that it loses it separate property value.
If both parties agree on how to divide the property during the divorce, the judge is required to review everything to ensure it is equitable.
Real property (home, buildings, land, etc.) can be handled several different ways. The house can be sold and monies split fairly between the two parties, or if one person is staying in the house, they may refinance the home and buy out the other party.
Division of retirement accounts requires application of unique legal principles. Generally speaking, everything deposited into the accounts during the marriage is considered marital property and are divided according to the formula set forth in Woodward v. Woodward, 656 P.2d 431 (Utah 1982). Although other factors may influence the outcome, the formula can generally be stated as follows: multiply one-half of the value of the account by the number of years the parties were married and divide by the number of years the employee has contributed to the retirement account.
In some cases, the spouse who contributes to the retirement may be award the entire retirement, with the other spouse being awarded something equal in value to their "Woodward share." However, if the retirement account is to be split or transferred, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) must be signed by the judge.
Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman can break this down into easier terms for you to understand. This is a complicated process and needs to be met with care.
When it comes to dividing things equally, Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman will fight for everything you deserve. Make that call today.
Failure to abide by the rulings of the court may result in contempt. That includes abiding by the Temporary Order, Parenting Plan, or Decree. Sometimes the violation of these orders by the party is intentional and others unintentional. Either way, Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman have the experience to enforce and help in violations with these proceedings.
These violations include, but are not limited to, child support and parent-time (visitation). It is important to note that parent-time and child support cannot be withheld from either parent, regardless of whether the other party has failed to comply with their end of the divorce decree.
Failure to comply can be brought to the court's attention. The process in doing so is a motion for an Order to Show Cause. As part of the motion, the moving party must submit supporting evidence showing how the other party has failed the court order. A hearing will usually be scheduled, and the other party will be required to appear in court. They must "show cause" why they should not be held in contempt. The responding party also has the opportunity to submit a written response prior to the hearing. Depending on the allegations, the judge may allow evidence to be presented at the hearing by "proffer." Proffer is witness examination.
The court will enter an order after the hearing. If the judge finds that a violation has occurred, the enforcement could result in more parent-time or higher moneys owed in child support. In some cases, a party member could be held in contempt, resulting in fines or jail time. The violating party may be held liable to pay for the attorney fees for the other party.
Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman takes the enforcement of orders very seriously. Contact us to ensure full protection of your rights.
The courts have the continuing power to modify a divorce decree according to any substantial or material change of circumstance that arises after the divorce takes place. Commonly addressed issues in post-divorce modifications include custody, parent-time (visitation), and child support. Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman are experienced in handling these modifications and deal with them with care.
Either parent can request a modification by filing a Petition to Modify, which must show a substantial change has occurred. Utah law dictates that some things are not considered 'substantial.' Talk to Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman if you have been served with a Petition to Modify. We can consult you about your options under Utah law.
If the issue involves custody or visitation, the court must determine if the modification has been ratified to be in the best interest of the child. These modifications can only be made by way of Petition to Modify.
However, modification of child support can be submitted by Motion if it has been three or more years since implementation; if there is a difference of 10% or more between the support amount as ordered versus required; if the difference is not temporary; and the child support total is consistent with set guidelines. Otherwise, the child support can only be modified by Petition and only if the changes meet specific statutory requirements.
Kaufman, Nichols & Kaufman understands things change and we are experienced in modifying divorce decrees to reflect that change. Contact us for a consultation on your options.

1. Three Point Estimate:
The 3 point estimate belongs to the time management knowledge area. It can also be used during Cost Estimation.
A three point estimate is a better estimate, compared to a single point estimate. Single point estimate simply gives you a single number – for example,
Manager: How long will it take to complete the engine design?
Engineer: 5 days.
The problem with single point estimates is that they are seldom correct.
How reliable is this 5 days estimate? It will depend on the engineer, and whether this task has been done before or not? If it is a routine task, and has been performed many times, a single point estimate may be ok…
But if it is something never done, or is a new activity, or the engineer is new to this activety, this number may well be incorrect. In such cases, going for a three point estimate will give you more reliability.
Three point estimate looks at the most optimistic estimate (O), a most likely estimate (M), and a pessimistic estimate (Least likely estimate) or (L).
In simple terms, let's take the same question, and ask the engineer again, as follow:
Manager: Usually how long does it take to complete the engine design?
Engineer: About 5 days.
Manager: Great. And what if there were problems… unexpected issues come up, and there are new things that we haven't thought up of arise?
Engineer: Well, in that case, it might take as long as 10 days, worst case!
Manager: I see. And how about if everything goes smoothly. No hiccups, and no problems? What's the best case?
Engineer: Then I could get it done in just 3 days flat.
So the manager could then take a simple average, and get the three point estimate as:
Three Point Estimate = (O + M + L) / 3
E = (5 + 10 + 3) / 3 = 18/3 = 6 Days.
Or the manager could add some weightings to the estimated. Like employing PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique). This gives you a better estimate.
A commonly used weighting might be – there is less chance of the worst case or the best case happening. In good faith, most likely estimate (M), is what it will take to get the job done. So with this, the three point weighted average estimate would be:
Three Point Estimate = (O + 4M + L ) / 6
E = (3 + 4*5 + 10) / 6 = (3 + 20 + 10) / 6 = 33/6 = 5.6 Days.
This three point weighted average estimate is a much better technique. Use it first, if all the 3 estimates are given.
So when do you use teh Simple Average 3 point estimate? Only when the question explicitly say – using the Tringular Distribution method.
PMP Mock Exam Question on Three Point Estimate:
Q1: Moon Travels are planning on implementing a travel booking system. In the past they were using a completely manual system, which caused errors and delays for their customers. The project manager is confident that the implementation will be completed in 6 weeks, with a most optimistic estimate being 4 weeks, and the worst case scenario might take it to 11 weeks. What must be the three point estimate for this travel booking system implementation?
A: 4 weeks
B: 6 weeks
C: 11 weeks
D: None of the Above.
Doing the calculations, you can arrive at
E = (4 + 24 + 11) / 6 = 39 / 6 = 6.5 weeks.
So the current answer would be D.
Q2: You are the project manager of Libra Travels SSS Project. You have decided to use the 3 point estimation technique for his project. For the "Test Corporate Bookings" activity, the following estimates are available. O=4, P=9, M=5. What is the result of this estimate?
A: 5.5 weeks
B: Eighteen weeks
C: 33.33 Days
D: Three weeks
Doing the calculations, you can arrive at
E = (4 + 20 +9) / 6 = 33 / 6 = 5.5 weeks.
So the current answer would be A.

What is a Jew?
Jews: A Race? A Historically-Inbred Ethnic
Group? A Religion? Or All Three?
Are Jews a race? Yes...and no. Yes, they are
people related by DNA or genes. But most anthropologists do not classify Jews as
a race, or a subrace, since a) Ashkenazim Jews, i.e. most, Jews are a racial
hybrid, and b) calling Jews anything other than a religion has been taboo since
WWII. Further, that question "are Jews a race?" depends on the/your scientific
definition of the word "race" [subspecies]. The term "ethnic group" is probably
more accurate in describing the Jew, although "race" can also be used.
[A word needs to be said about the field of
Anthropology and Jews. An anthropologist informed us that when he studied
anthropology in the 1950s, Jews were not referred to as anything other than a
religion, and he said that that feature is still true today. We call this
non-mention of Jews as an ethnic group by the anthropology field dishonest and
Someone on the web mentioned that [paraphrasing]
"Jews function as a race, so they are a race, regardless of what modern science
calls them." Indeed. Jews are more cohesive and unified than any other ethnic
group, so that is a great description of the Jews. Thanks, somebody.
Furthermore, the word "White" means White
European. In other words, a White person's ancestors originally came from a
White European country, such as England, Germany, France, etc. Some Jews may
appear to be White. In other words, they may have light-colored skin and
light-colored hair. That does not make them White, however. Only genetics makes
a person White. The Jews are not genetically White. [One of the reasons that
the Jews have been so successful in the Western countries is that they sometimes
appear to be White].
White gentiles should hopefully be able to
recognize Jewish people based upon their physical appearance, but granted, this
is not always possible. However, Jews often have features that identify them as
being Jewish by race. The majority of Jews do share common physical features --
especially in their faces and/or craniums [skulls].
Brief History of the Jews
Jews originally came from the tribe of
Judah/Judahites back in old Canaan or Palestine. The Judah tribe was banished
from the other Israelite tribes in about 950 BC. In 70 AD, the Romans destroyed
Jerusalem, and did so again in 134 AD, compelling Jews as a people to scatter in
the wind. Some of those Jews made their way to Europe, others stayed closer to
their original homeland.
There are two main types of Jews. Most Jews in America and Europe are Ashkenazim, aka "Eastern European" or "Russian" Jews.
Typical Jewish appearance: large nose
that curves downward, weak chin, sloped
forehead, 'pinched' facial appearance
Typical Jewish appearance, including large
ears that protrude away from the head and a
heavy, 'fleshy-looking' face. Some people in
the White Nationalist movement have called this
traditional Jewish facial appearance "rodent-like,"
although some Whites may find that description
Above: typical Jewish nose, curving downward at
the tip
Ashkenazim Jews are a hybrid race by long interbreeding, their major ethnicities being Arab + Armenid [Armenid is also sometimes called Hittite or Subarian]. According to Oxford University's Dr. John R. Baker, "the evidence from blood-groups bears on the theory that the Ashkenazim have both Armenids and Orientalids ["Orientalids" is Dr. Baker's word for Arabs] for ancestors." -- from Baker's book Race, [see below], page 242, hardcover.
Compare White skull above to Armenid/Jewish skull -- White skull has longer rear portion, whereas Armenid/Jew skull looks as if the back of the head were "sawed-off."
The other, comparatively rarer type of Jew is
the Sephardim, also known as "Mediterranean," or "Spanish," or "Portuguese," or
"North African" Jews. These Jews lived mostly near the Mediterranean Sea.
Sephardim Jews also lived in Iraq (Babylon), Syria, Greece, Turkey, and in the
Americas, especially South America. Furthermore, Sephardic Jews lived in
Palestine long before the European Zionist movement. Only about 10% of all Jews
worldwide are Sephardim; the rest are Ashkenazim. Sephardim are more closely
related to Arabs, while Ashkenazim are more related to
According to Dr. Baker, "when it is said that a
person has a Jewish appearance, the speaker usually has persons of Ashkenazic
stock in mind. The members of this group are the typical Jews of Russia, Poland,
and England, and they constitute the great majority, perhaps 90%, of all the
people in the world to whom the name of Jews is applied." -- from Race,
page 238, hardcover.
In 1492, Jews were expelled from Spain. Portugal
expelled her Jews five years later. Some Spanish and Portuguese Jews converted
to Christianity, and these Jews were referred to as "Marranos" by Jews who had
left Spain/Portugal but kept their faith. Later, as the new converts began to
gain power and social status, these "New Christians" become suspect by the "Old
Christians" in Spanish society as being insincere converts. They were then
called Crypto Jews, or Anusim -- Jews who still practiced Judaism in secret.
It is the opinion of many gentiles that there
are many Crypto or Marrano -- also called "converso" -- Jews in positions of
power all over the West, but that few gentiles know of these hidden Jews' real
ethnic heritage.
Despite their geographical dispersion, however,
all Jews are genetically similar to a remarkable degree, given their diaspora
and the chance, seldom taken, to mix blood with surrounding populations.
[Also of note is that a U.N.-sponsored body
listed "Jewish" as being only a religion in 1951 -- no doubt for political
purposes, since WWII had just ended a few years previously. John Baker shows
that Jews are indeed an ethnic group related by race, although he says that they
are not a subrace since some people of Armenid descent are not Jewish].
The question "who is a Jew?" has a simple
answer: anyone whose birth mother was Jewish by race -- i.e., not a convert to
Judaism; or, cleverly, the few people who convert to Judaism. Under Israel's Law
of Return [1], a gentile who converts to Judaism can immigrate to Israel.
However, conversion to Judaism is rare and difficult by design, and such
converts are not considered to be "true Jews." It is the opinion of many that
Jews "allow" converts so as to make Jews appear, to outsiders, to be "not a
race, only a religion." Such a feature also allows Jews to deflect the charge
that Israel is "a race-based state."
[1] quote from Israel's amended Law of Return:
"Definition 4B. For the purposes of this Law, "Jew" means a person who was born
of a Jewish mother or has become converted to Judaism and who is not a member of
another religion." -- Law of Return (Amendment No. 2) 5730-1970*; Addition of
sections 4A and 4B apparently occurred in 1970.
Facial/Cranial Features of Ashkenazim Jews
[Note that not all Jews have the physical features listed below]
A) Ashkenazim Jews have a long, large nose --
one that differs from Italian-type noses by the fact that it often curves
downward at the tip; the nose often has a noticeable "hump" on the top portion
of it, if viewed in profile; the nose often resembles the number "6," if viewed
with the grooves of the "wings" of the nose, in profile [2]. Further, some
gentiles have commented that Jews often have a facial appearance that seems
"pinched," as if God had taken their faces between his thumb and fingers and
then squeezed.
B) The forehead and temples of the skull recede
quickly. In other words, the forehead and temples begin to slope or curve almost
immediately, whereas in Whites those areas are more "wall-like" and vertical.
Studies of Jewish skull shapes show that most Jews are either a) not Semitic; or
b) only partly Semitic. Instead, they are Armenid/Hittite in their skull shapes
[3]. This means that the term "anti-Semitism" does not really apply to Jews
[also 3]. Further, many Ashkenazim Jews have short heads, as compared to
C) The ears of Ashkenazim Jews are usually
larger than a gentile's, especially the upper ear, and the ears often stick out,
away from the head; this, combined with their large noses, often gives Jews a
"rat-like" or "rodent-like" appearance. This "rodent-like" appearance is more
noticeable when they smile.
D) Mouth opening/lips often larger than normal.
E) The eyes are sometimes slightly Asian in
appearance, i.e. slightly more "squinted" than a European's. This is more
noticeable when they smile, squeezing their eyes shut even more than a
gentile's. Eyelids, especially the lower ones, are more puffed-out and "fleshy"
than a European's.
F) Jews usually have a "weak chin" that does not
jut out.
G) Jews usually have legs and arms that are,
proportionately speaking, rather short.
H) Their head hair is usually curlier, and
darker, than a gentiles; further, Jews often cannot grow heavy beards; their
beards are often scraggly and frizzy instead.
[1] source: book Race, by Dr. John R.
Baker, Oxford University Press/FHU; 1974/1981; pages 232ff, hardcover. This book
is considered by many to be the most detailed book ever written about the
various human races. It includes many photos and diagrams.
[2] "Luschan holds that the hook-nose is by no
means characteristic of the Semites, and contends that the number of arched
noses that are found among the Jews is due to ancient intermixture with the
Hittites in Asia Minor. He shows that other races also, as the Armenian, for
instance, who have a good portion of Hittite blood in their veins, have
hook-noses" (Jewish Encyclopedia IX [1905], 338). Also: "The relation of the
breadth of the nose to its length, known as the 'nasal index,' has been
considered one of the best means of distinguishing the various races of
mankind." (Jew. Enc. IX [1905], 339). And, "The nose is generally the
characteristic feature of the Jews, who have, on the average, the longest (77
ram) and narrowest (34 mm)" (Jew. Enc. I [1901], 619).
[3] "The most important problem suggested by a study of craniometrical results concerning Jews is the relation of the type head of the modern Jews to that of the ancient Hebrews and to the modern Semitic skulls. The pure Semitic skull is dolichocephalic [long-headed], as may be seen from a study of the heads of modern Arabs, Abyssinians, Syrians .... The only way the type of the head may change is by intermixture with other races. If the ancient Hebrews were of the same stock as the modern non-Jewish Semites, and if the modern Jews are their descendants, then a pure dolichocephalic type of head would be expected among the Jews. As has been seen, all results of craniometry prove that the Jews are brachycephalic [broad-headed], and that the dolichocephalic form is only found among them in less than two percent of the cases" (Jewish Encyclopedia IV [1902], 335). Also, "Some anthropologists are inclined to associate the racial origins of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and cuffed noses they appear to have inherited" (Jew. Enc. X [1903], 264). Dr. John Baker's modern book Race also calls Jews brachycephalic instead of dolichocephalic.

Earthlings (Terráqueos) - Legendado Português
TERRÁQUEOS (Earthlings) é um filme-documentário sobre a absoluta dependência da humanidade em relação aos animais (para estimação, alimentação, vestuário, diversão e desenvolvimento científico), mas também ilustra nosso completo desrespeito para com os assim chamados "provedores não-humanos".
Este filme é narrado por Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIADOR) e possui trilha sonora composta pelo artista Moby. Com um profundo estudo dentro das pet-shops, criatórios de filhotes e abrigos de animais, bem como em fazendas industriais, no comércio de couro e peles, indústria de esporte e entreterimento, e finalmente na carreira médica e científica, TERRÁQUEOS usa câmeras escondidas e filmagens inéditas para narrar as práticas diárias de algumas das maiores indústrias do mundo, as quais dependem de animais para lucrar.
Impactante, informativo e provocando reflexões, TERRÁQUEOS é de longe o mais completo documentário jamais produzido sobre a conexão entre natureza, animais, e interesses econômicos. Há vários filmes importantes sobre os direitos dos animais, mas este supera os demais. TERRÁQUEOS tem que ser assistido.
Altamente recomendado!
EARTHLINGS is an award-winning documentary film about the suffering of animals for food, fashion, pets, entertainment and medical research. Considered the most persuasive documentary ever made, EARTHLINGS is nicknamed "the Vegan maker".
EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.
With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended!
EARTHLINGS has taken five years to produce. What began as a series of Public Service Announcements on spaying and neutering pets, evolved into a feature-length film on every major animal-related issue. Writer/Director Shaun Monson began the process by shooting footage at animal shelters in South Central L.A., Long Beach and North Hollywood. The PSAs were soon completed as his interest moved to other problem areas, like food and scientific research. In time, he accumulated a small library of material from several animal welfare organizations, and started editing. The process was a slow one. As footage gradually came in, Joaquin's narration was recorded (in stages), and a soundtrack was added. Along with all of Moby's music, some original pieces were also written for the film. In 2005, EARTHLINGS premiered at the Artivist Film Festival, (where it won Best Documentary Feature), followed by the Boston International Film Festival, (where it won the Best Content Award), and most recently at the San Diego Film Festival, (where it won Best Documentary Film, as well as the Humanitarian Award to Joaquin Phoenix for his work on the film). EARTHLINGS available on DVD .
The title of the Earthlings documentary reflects the notion that animals, humans and nature are all equal as earthlings. The word earthlings simply refers to the fact that we all inhabit the same earth. Throughout the documentary, the narration makes the point that there is little difference between racism, sexism or religious persecution and what the film calls speciesism. Speciesism is defined as the belief that we are innately better than the other earthlings we coexist with on the planet simply because we dominate them. The most poignant question that the movie asks is what makes people a superior species to animals. We all exist on the earth together, are all aware of our surroundings, and have all evolved together. Though the other earthlings do not speak our language, they have their own languages. They possess finely tuned natural instincts and senses that humans have lost long ago, and many animal species have inhabited this earth longer than humans have. Humans are not only related to monkeys and chimpanzees, they are related to every other living organism on the earth since we all evolved from the same humble beginnings. As earthlings we should be able to coexist in harmony instead of try to profit off exploiting the weakness of animals.
The Earthlings film points out that as humans, we are using our power to dominate animals as the reason why we can disrespect them as fellow creatures.

At the end of the day, admitting that your friend, your neighbor, your relative, your partner, your child, or your coworker might be capable of such selfish aggression and violent or psychological control is not a reality many people want to deal with.
At the time it happened, I believe it was my fault for getting too drunk. It took 25 years to realize that I'd been raped.
I never went to the police because I was drinking and underage. I was afraid of being expelled from school for going to a party. I didn't have any proof that I was attacked other than my story, and I heard the campus police had a history of victim blaming. The last thing I wanted was to have a cop tell me that I deserved it.
I was told that if a man pays attention to you, you should be grateful. I was told that he's just flirting. I was told that he couldn't control himself, that I must have done something to encourage him.
I felt responsible and like I put myself in this situation. I was underage and drinking. I grew up in a very conservative family, very religious, who taught me that drinking, partying, and doing drugs would only lead to bad things. I thought I was being punished by God.
My attacker was one of my best friends in high school.
Nobody noticed what was happening. My mother kept silent for years.
I convinced myself it was a misunderstanding, that I had not actually tried to push him off me, that I should not have given in to curiosity and romance in the first place. I cheated on my boyfriend. This was my fault. Maybe I deserved it.
I still live with one of my abusers. I created a situation where I'm safe and he will no longer do anything to me.
We live in a society that condones rape.
As an adult, I'm SHOCKED no one ever came forward and stood up for the things that were happening to me and my sisters. I have a lot of bitterness and resentment toward family members who were so "close" yet did nothing.
It happened at 3 until I was 12. I didn't share until I was 12.
I have been raped and sexually assaulted more than once.

Someone should write a book about how to store parts when you're disassembling a car for restoration. I am currently in the middle of such a job. I have some parts stored in plastic food bags, some stored in plastic "leftover" containers and some stored in cardboard boxes. Everyday I search the backroom at work looking for the "right" sized boxes to keep parts in. Most mechanical parts it's easy to find booxes for, but the door trim, window moldings, and wooden window garnish moldings are the problem. I thought mailing tubes might work, but they are not wide enough to fit all the parts in. And separating the parts won't work, because the plan is to keep parts from one assembly all together. So I wish someone would write a book about where to get the right boxes to store parts for an auto restoration. It would probably be a best seller.

Mp3 Audio App. - Convert & Compress
Bajet $30-100 USD
Small desktop application, I will supply the graphics.
A user can record audio, narration,(Maximum of 30 seconds) on their computer, save it as a wav file or Mp3, and then drop it on the CDT Audio Magic tool.
A user should be able drop any wav file or mp3 into the CDT Audio magic tool, and it would get 'compressed' to an optimum compression.
Some notes & ideas.
All audio should be saved as mp3,
Requirement. - Audio file should be compressed to be less than 50kb, (or as chosen from menu, 50, 75, 100)
Problem:- We have no control over the size of the original audio file, a user might have a 5MB file, and if compressed too much, the quality is un acceptable.
Solution:- There is a default minimum quality of compression.
Example A.
1) User drops audio file onto *.exe, and if it is *.wav, it gets converted to Mp3.
2) With first conversion, compression is kept at high quality.
3) Script 'looks' at file size, if it is over 50KB, it re-compresses slightly more, then 'loops'.
4) Script keeps on looping until it reaches maximum compression, to retain reasonable quality like 16000Hz rate.
5) If it reaches this rate, the maximum compression, it saves the file and gives the user a warning. Warning - "you have reached the maximum compression rate, please shorten the length of your audio file."
Example B.
3) Script 'looks' at file size, if it is over 50KB, it re-compresses slightly more, then 'loops'.
4) If file is under 50KB, the file gets saved at the highest quality possible compression rate. So in this example, maybe the sample is 22000Hz for a 8 second audio. (the size could be variable, 50, 75, 100KB)
These are the basic requirements. The developer may choose to this their own way as long as similar results are achieved.
Here is a tool that does a similar job for images, Graphics will be similar.

The task of day care centres
Education, upbringing and childcare are the tasks of day care centres.
For general purpose, laws describe and frame these tasks. In January 2005, the state of Lower Saxony passed a plan, which is meant to be the basic concept for the work in day care centres. It is called: "Concept for children's education in day care centres of Lower Saxony". This concept is a suggestion. The actual transformation of this concept to a layout for daily work remains within the individual authority of the responsible organisation.
How do we conceive of these tasks?
Right from the beginning on, every child has the right for education. At no point later on in life, people are able to learn as much and as quick as they do during early childhood!
Children are born with a great motivation to learn. They learn in order to better conceive of the world, they improve their knowledge and gain many new skills. They do so in an active, curious, systematic and concentrated manner and very importantly in their own pace - grasping the world physically and mentally with all their senses. Any process of education is unique! From the beginning on, the child is a social being, communicating with the people surrounding it and exploring the things within its reach. In addition, it relies on social and emotional relationships. It strives to ladle out its potential and to improve its level of experience.
Thus, education is a process, which starts at birth, lasts a lifetime and most importantly is the individual achievement of every child.
Upbringing and care
We have the full responsibility to support the children and to stimulate them in all those areas that are important for their development.
Successful education requires the social contact to others: attentive exchange of ideas and an emotional, caring and secure relationship between children and adults and of course the cooperation between children themselves.
For these reasons being, the pedagogical staff in the day care centres has the task to arrange the rooms and the materials in a way which best supports the children and allows them to perform interesting and manifold activities.
Another significant aspect of professional educational work with children is the method of communication, e.g. in the way of mutual dialogue. How is it marked?
By listening, by treating children as equals, by questioning and then jointly seeking answers; by frankness, honest interest in the matters of the child and last but not least the ability for the staff members to put themselves in the position of the children. Thus, the dialogical approach, is fundamental for any type of education and a challenge for the pedagogical staff.
Quality improvement
In April 2003, the Kinderhaus e.V. has started a process of quality improvement, to which all pedagogical employees contribute.
Quality improvement means the description, protection and development of the pedagogical work in the day care centres.
The topic we concern ourselves with is called: "processes of education of children - accompaniment and promotion in day care centres of the Kinderhaus e.V."
During the joint work, we have formulated some basic statements and features concerning this huge topic. They cover the cooperation with families, pedagogical acting, the emotional relation to the child and the professional discussion of the topics.
All the teams develop practical plans to accomplish all the basics mentioned. The teams closely cooperate with the responsible organisation until both sides approve of the plans. The first step is the question: How do we do what? In the next step, aims are formulated: What do we want to accomplish? This is followed by the question: What exactly do we have to do to pursue our aims? Finally, we check if the aims were reached.
Some examples:
- "Up to 07/22/06, we are going to test and analyse several ways of documenting and presenting activities of the children."
- "Up to 06/30/06, we are going to alter and enhance our painting facility into a creativity facility by enlarging and improving the amount and the quality of the materials the children will be able to work with ."
- "By 07/15/04, we will jointly with parents and children have created an experimentation lab, which the children can use for either independent work or for guided experiments."
The aim of this systematic quality improvement is a lasting change in the way we work with children. The aim is the support and the promotion of the education of children in the best way possible.

Amazon launches major IT recruitment drive in London
Retailer on the lookout for software development engineers, user-interface experts and graphic designers
Amazon has announced the start of a major recruitment drive seeking 100 new employees to be part of its IT and digital operations in its London offices.
The new recruits will be based in Amazon's global Digital Media Development Centre in the Barbican, which opened in September and houses hundreds of employees in design and development roles, working for two of the firm's subsidiaries, Pushbutton and LoveFilm.
Since the opening of the centre, Amazon has already hired 100 new staff members.
The extra 100 team members now being employed will include software development engineers, user-interface experts and graphic designers.
They will be focussed on a range of digital media projects, such as the creation of interactive digital services for TVs, game consoles, smartphones and PCs. The new recruits will also be asked to improve the digital experience on Amazon's global websites.
In an interview with V3, Paula Byrne, managing director of the Amazon Digital Media Development Centre, said the recruitment drive for the 100 employees is kicking off now.
"We're now actively recruiting and looking for the best talent around. The key is to find the skillset we need and employees who will relish the opportunity to work for such a recognised brand," said Byrne.
Byrne said the vacant positions are a mix of entry-level roles and those that require professionals with significant experience.
"We are interested in hiring graduates, largely those with a computer science degree, or those with user interface graphic design skills. Equally we are looking for experienced people and there are plenty of people in the UK that have solid experience in this area," she added.
"If we find the right people, we will find a role for them so it depends on who comes in the door really."
Byrne declined to comment on how many staff are now working at the Barbican centre.
Amazon has undergone a barrage of criticism recently in the press for failing to pay enough corporation tax in the UK.
However Byrne said UK professionals have not been put off by this criticism, and still want to work for the firm.
"We are showing no shortage of interest. On the contrary, people are looking for a solid career and looking to learn along the way. Amazon is a sought after potential employer."

When we help feed kids over the weekend, we set them up for success as they head back to school on Monday morning. This starts with monetary and food contributions from our generous donors and community partners.
A bag of food for one student costs approximately $2.00 a week or $89 for the entire school year. A $32 contribution provides 4 students with a month's worth of weekend food. You can also provide a week's worth of food for all our students by sponsoring our Weekly Grocery List with a generous donation of $340.
As a volunteer operation, every dollar you donate, large or small, goes directly toward purchasing food each week.

I've just put this on my computers and am quietly impressed.
You can run it as a desktop gadget to show temperature which is especially useful on a laptop.
I run a netbook continuously as part of a weather station, and have set that up to email me if temperature rises or other problems emerge.
In theory it will detect a failing drive in time to take action to at least back things up thoroughly.

On today's podcast, we meet Emma Goidel, local playwright whose works has been making the rounds here in Philadelphia. Member of the ever-popular Orbiter3, Emma's new work, "Local Girls" will be mounted by Azuka Theatre Company. We get to know Emma, going back to her roots in Georgia and in general, talking about the arts and obligations of playwrighting. Stay Tuned!
High school chemistry genius Diskit needs some friends who aren't her dad. High school burnout Riley needs a new screamer for her metal band. The Zombie Fuel Energy Drink Wreak Ruckus Battle of the Bands could transform them both from high school losers into rock gods. But will that be enough to get them out of Tucker, Georgia? Azuka's 10th world premiere by a local playwright is Emma Goidel's scream rock fantasia about searching for big-time glory in a small-time town.
Emma is a founding member of the critically acclaimed producing playwrights collective Orbiter 3 and a member of the Ars Nova Play Group. Her plays include Local Girls (Azuka Theatre, 2016), A Knee That Can Bend (Orbiter 3, 2015), The Gap (development: LAByrinth Theater Company & InterAct Theatre Company), and We Can All Agree To Pretend This Never Happened (Ensemble Studio Theatre, Òran Mór in Scotland, Tiny Dynamite/InterAct). She co-created the 2014 FringeArts Festival hit Safe Space with Apocalypse Club, a collaboration with playwrights Emily Acker and Douglas Williams and director Maura Krause. Emma was a Writing Fellow at the Playwrights Realm, Core Playwright at InterAct Theatre Company, a Core Apprentice at the Playwrights' Center, a member of the Philadelphia Foundry, and the 2012 Dasha Epstein Playwriting Fellowship at New York Stage & Film/Powerhouse Theater. She is a 2015 Princess Grace Award Finalist, two-time Arnold L. Weissberger Award nominee, winner of the New South Young Playwrights Competition, NNPN Smith Prize nominee, and semi-finalist for the O'Neill Playwrights Conference. Local Girls was included in The Kilroys 2015 Honorable Mentions: the top 32% of plays by women recommended by artistic leaders as among "the best work they had encountered in the past year." Emma's short plays have been presented at Philadelphia Theater Company, Horizon Theater (Atlanta), SIT: Dakar, and UPenn. She received a BA with Honors in Theatre from Barnard College in 2012.

A preliminary hearing will be Monday for a southeast Missouri police chief accused of stealing thousands of dollars from the city criminal investigation fund.
The Kennett Daily Dunklin Democrat ( http://bit.ly/uhf15E) reports that Caruthersville chief Chris Riggs faces 24 counts of forgery and one count of stealing. Another city employee, Marcus Hopkins, faces 11 counts of forgery.
Authorities say Riggs wrote checks to Hopkins out of the fund over a two-year period ending in August, then forged Hopkins' signature to cash the checks. Both men were arrested in October following an investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Both are free on $200,000 bond. Attorneys for both men were not listed.

Our local recreation center is having a Best Buy Biggest Loser competition and the grand prize is a 32″inch flat-screen TV. I want it and the bragging rights and results that go along with it, so I paid $5 and signed up to participate. While standing on the scale for the official weigh-in, the coordinator, loudly exclaimed "WOW!". At that point I had to question what the "WOW!" was for and the response I got is probably the weirdest compliment I have been told. He said; "No offense, but that's a number I haven't seen before. You don't look THAT fat! You really carry your weight well!". Umm, thank you.
UPDATE: I didn't win.

Regurgitating songs from Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell and Joseph And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat for the Christian bookshop market does seem decidedly questionable when one thinks of the major theological deficiencies of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice and Stephen Schwartz material. Yep, I know "Day By Day " is catchy (remember when dc Talk covered it?) and "I Don't Know How To Love Him" is an easy listening classic. But these renditions by The West End Theatre Orchestra And Chorus aren't even the original cast ones.

Steel Building Systems, Inc
Why would self-proclaimed "tree huggers" love metal buildings? Because every structure built with steel framing instead of wood framing saves trees.
Deforestation diminishes the single greatest asset in combating air pollution— trees. So what is so great about trees? Here are just a few of the reasons we need to protect forests:
True environmentalists adore nature and deplore industry. Certainly, eco-conscious conservationists have had issues with the steel industry in the past. But the benefits of using steel for eco-friendly construction far outweigh the minimal drawbacks of creating the steel.
Although steel production a century ago was indeed a major polluter, the steel industry has really cleaned up its act. Here's how:
Nature lovers demand recycled materials for "green" buildings. No other building material comes close to the recycling performance of steel.
The following facts provide the reasons for steel's recycling dominance:
The U.S. Green Building Council states: "Steel as a primary structural building material, with its inherently recyclable nature and its efficiency of assembly, is the logical and responsible choice for Green Building."
LEED (the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) program certifies green building projects by points. Steel is the only building material in the program's list of green building products to earn an automatic minimum default, based on its high recycled content.
About five acres of forest produce the lumber for a 10,000 square-foot building. In one year, the trees in that same five acres of forest would absorb the carbon dioxide equal to 65,000 miles of automobile pollution.
Harvesting five acres of forest leaves the one to one-and-a-half tons of air pollutants that those trees would have processed in the air we breathe.
The same 10,000 square-foot structure could be framed with steel recycled from thirty to thirty-five junked cars.
Not only does choosing to build with steel instead of wood preserve forests to clean our air, it is also the logical long-term choice. Pre-engineered steel buildings outlast wood-framed structures by decades.
When a wood building reaches the end of its usefulness, the owner pays to haul the discarded lumber to a landfill. Construction dumps 136 million tons of debris into straining U.S. landfills each year.
Conversely, when the lifespan of a steel building is over, the steel framing is sold as scrap to be recycled once again.
Join the green movement. Help eliminate pollution. Save the trees by building with RHINO Steel Building Systems.
RHINO's commercial-grade steel buildings contain up to 90.7% recycled steel content.
RHINO's clients love metal buildings for aircraft hangars, barns and stables, churches, commercial enterprises, industrial buildings, offices, recreational buildings, storage buildings, stores, warehouses, personal-use, and other low-rise structures.
You can learn more about building green with steel. Talk to a RHINO metal building specialist today about eco-friendly construction. Contact RHINO today, toll free at 888.320.7466.

KATLEHONG, South Africa -- "They say there is violence here," said Jeff Sibiya. "This isn't violence. This is war."
The soft-spoken 27-year-old member of the Inkatha Freedom Party was talking as he escorted a truck filled with 1,500 packages of food and supplies, a relief shipment for one of the hostels in this troubled black township near Johannesburg.
Newspapers here dutifully report the daily deaths in the townships of the East Rand as if they were the scores of rugby matches. Big cities in the United States are horrified when the murder rate tops one a day, but these townships of a few hundred thousand regularly see four or five deaths on a weekday, with 20 or more not uncommon over a weekend. The police roam the streets every morning, picking up the bodies.

I must say as much as I hate lay overs they are perfect opportunity to catch up on blogs, e-mails, and reading! I am sitting in the airport because we have a 24 hour layover!
I have had a world wind two weeks back in Perth that have been very exciting. My mom and little brother came to visit for a week. It was so great to just see them. It has been a year since I have been home, so this visit was very special. I was also blessed by a light schedule with my school, which meant my family and I spent lots of time together. We did so many fun things. It was great to become a tourist of Perth for a week with them. I had not seen so much of Perth as I did with them! Haha. We went to the aquarium, a zoo full of Aussie animals, snorkeling, and of course the beach. It was a hard goodbye after our week together.
This past week we were busy celebrating ywam. It was the 50th year anniversary for the organization ywam, and then it was ywam perth's 25th year anniversary. It was fully of amazing speakers, worship, prayer, and good food!
I am going to post some pictures and yea India here we come!
You are blessed to be a blessing!

New Painting, Reflection Eternal.
This year I re-started my pop culture series I started in 2012. Ive called this new series "Shard Pop" - an abstract exploration through pop culture. I started in art as an illustrator and have always been drawn to comics and pop culture growing up. This series will explore the dynamics between my fluid, motion-driven, layered artwork and pop culture iconography simultaneously
First painting in the new studio, "Epiphany" 3.5 ft x 5 ft, 2017
Life is funny sometimes and the world is really small. I met the owner of Crag Fitness Studio, Michael-Christopher about 7-8 years back while I was selling artwork in Soho. I gave him my card and he said "One day, Im going to contact you for some artwork". Fast forward years later, Michael-Christopher has now opened C.R.A.G., a rock climbing fitness studio in downtown Jersey City.

Jodie Chillery, a TV producer created and ran the Arlesey Remembers You Crowdfunder campaign which captured the hearts and minds of the community. Jodie reflects on the year since they successfully funded over £2k for a documentary and the journey their crowdfunding campaign took them on.
Just over a year ago I got involved with a group in my community who intended to run a commemorative project for the centenary of the beginning of the first world war.
The plan was to invite members of the community to place a bespoke poppy cross on the grave of all of the fallen soldiers listed on our village war memorial. The graves spanned from the village church yard to France, Belgium, Turkey, Israel and Iraq.
It sounded like an ambitious plan and one I felt should be documented in a short film so all of the community could at least watch the film but moreover the project would have a legacy and generations of the future could see how the centenary was commemorated in the village.
By day I'm a professional television producer so I have an idea of how to produce a film, but normally I have a budget, camera operatives, editors and a broadcaster. All I had was a stills camera and an idea.
I guess in short what I needed was money. Not lots, but enough to be able to hire some equipment and cover some travel expenses. I did some research, rather hastily made a short "appeal film" with some of the group, and decided crowdfunding was the way to go. What I hadn't imagined was that the project and the idea of making a film about the project would strike a chord with an otherwise dysfunctional and apathetic community.
Immediately the appetite and in fact the need for such a community project became obvious. I started to advertise my Crowdfunder page. We have a lively and active Facebook page for our village and this was the first port of call for the Crowdfunder link. It did the rounds and not only did people start donating but they also starting volunteering for the project. Our Crowdfunder was already serving two purposes and we'd only been live for a day!
I then contacted local press and used the community newswire, a service that helps charities, communities and citizen journalists get their stories into the national and regional media run by the Media Trust and Press Association. The next thing we knew a local news TV crew were knocking on the door as were a national WW1 commemoration organisation.
Over the weekend we'd been on local TV, featured in a local paper and raised over half of our target and there was still more to come. It paid to make the most of our personal contacts too, some of the biggest donations came from local business, a couple of companies I'd previously worked for, a man in a pub, and an old university lecturer.
But it seemed that not only had the project captured the imagination of the locals who were by now volunteering in their hundreds to place crosses, carrying out further fund raising activities and help research the local history. We had also secured donations of skills and equipment from organisations that we had personal relationships with. One of the villagers who was studying at the University of Westminster found he had a lecturer volunteering to offer some editing lessons to me, an old colleague of mine who'd I'd not seen in some years loaned a camera and tripod for the duration of the project and numerous colleagues who are far more technically minded than I were sending me emails offering their time I should need it. But of course the important thing is, none of this would happen if we didn't hit the our crowdfunding target. So relentless facebooking, tweeting and emailing everyone we possibly knew between us continued until finally we did it!
What happened over the next 12 months is somewhat remarkable.
I struggle to believe it's success. The local school dedicated two days to decorating the crosses. The Church, parish council and local British Legion put on a fabulous launch ceremony for the project. The 87 graves were visited by residents of the village, the scouts, the rainbows, a local choir and where possible descendants of the soldiers. We located and in some case reunited relatives of the soldiers and discovered that one soldier on the memorial probably didn't actually die during the war.
Instead of a short five minute film being a produced as initially intended a 40 minute documentary was made with the money raised on Crowdfunder. It was broadcast on the Community Channel and over 400 people attended a premier style screening of the film at the village hall. The project had a full page featured in The Telegraph on Remembrance day and I was invited to speak about our project at the launch of the national volunteering initiative Remember WW1, where I spoke along side Andy Burham MP and Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon and a clip of the film was shown.
The project goes on with further funds raised to erect a headstone for one of the soldier's featured in the film who rests in an unmarked grave in the churchyard and a memorial copse is being planted in the village this spring.
I'm a great believer that Crowdfunder not only enabled us to raise the money to make the film, but it gave us the ability to promote and market the project itself to engage volunteers, which in the long run is what made it so successful.
