2019 marks the 16th anniversary of the Jaguar Car Club of Victoria and the 14th Jaguars on the Island, the largest Jaguar car show in North America. "Good to see you again" to those who participated in recent years and a convivial "Welcome" to those who are here for the first time. We are united by our enthusiasm for Jaguar cars – let's celebrate together, let our pets socialize – all Jaguars are beautiful, welcome, and deserve a space on the field.
What exactly is Jaguars on the Island (JOTI)? A Jaguar car show, but… why would I want to register? You believe that a Jaguar is more than just a car, right? Read what Gregory Andrachuk, one of the founding fathers of the Jaguar Car Club of Victoria, has to say about the Spirit of JOTI. If you want to be part of the camaraderie and support Victoria Hospice by participating (all net proceeds are being donated) – why not register for JOTI 2019?
Friday, July 26, 5:00 – 7:00 pm – Welcome Reception at Hotel Grand Pacific (dress code: "Smart Casual")
Saturday, July 27, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm – JCNA-sanctioned Concours d'Elegance and Jaguar Car Show for judged Jaguars and Enthusiast Class Jaguars at Windsor Park/Oak Bay (all cars are expected to remain on the field until 3 pm).
Saturday, July 27, 6:00 for 7:00 pm – Awards Dinner – Hotel Grand Pacific (Dress code for Gentlemen: "Business Casual" [jacket, collared shirt, tie optional but desired]; Dress code for Ladies: "Cocktail Attire").
Sunday, July 28, 9:30 am – Picturesque Prowl around Greater Victoria ending at the Royal Colwood Golf Course. We are meeting at the Hillside Mall parking lot at 9:15 am for a 9:30 start.
Sunday, July 28, 10:30 for 11:00 am – Delicious Brunch at the Royal Colwood Golf Course (Dress code: "Smart Casual")
Sunday, July 28, 1:00 pm – JCNA-sanctioned Slalom in the Western Speedway parking lot; Dress code: Helmet for all participants (bring your own or borrow one from the JCCV). Read more…

At Jaguars on the Island, every Jaguar is welcome, no matter the condition, age, or cleanliness. We are not separated by dents and dirt but united by our love for these gorgeous automobiles. All cars, judged classes and non-judged class (the "Enthusiast Class") are placed together on the field to socialize.
By 9:30 most of the Jaguars have arrived and been placed (except for those being delayed by ferries and other impediments, like overheating…), first refreshments have been imbibed, baked goods eaten at the Tea Tent or the Lions' catering trailer (they serve breakfast AND lunch).
Rags down is around 10:30 am and the judging begins…any hidden pine needles, specks of water, is the spare tire the correct size? When judging ends around 12:00 pm, participants hurry away to have lunch at the Oak Bay Marina, the fully licenced Windsor Café, the Lions', other nearby restaurants, or to simply enjoy their home-made healthy lunches in good company in the cool shade of the Tea Tent along with some COMPLIMENTARY beverages (tea, water, ice tea, etc.) served by the well-known friendly faces of spouses and family.
The afternoon is reserved for admiring other cars, shop talking, and anxiously waiting for the results that will be presented at the Awards Banquet in the evening. Besides that, the Regalia Tent, the Tea Tent, the cars displayed by Jaguar Victoria, the Victoria Hospice tent (usually with a raffle) serve as attractive pastimes.
Around 11:30 am (to 1:30 pm), Cold Comfort will have their wonderful gluten-free ice-bars ready for you. You will find the distinctive cream-coloured "Escargot" (or Nissan S-Cargo) ice cream truck, a little dog named Ginger and Autumn, the ice-cream lady, near the tea tent. Ice cream bars are available in three flavours: Rosewater Raspberry/Rosemary Sour Cherry/The Best Chocolate – have one of each (donations are accepted but not required).
Only too soon the clock strikes 3:00 pm and cars start leaving the field, giving their owners the well-deserved break at home or the hotels to rest, shower, change for the evening and the awards, have an apéritif, or chat with friends.
Every car on the field can receive an award, even non-judged cars. The Jaguar Car Club of Victoria considers all Jaguars equal and worthy. Therefore, there are several Popular Choice Awards, like the Mayor's Choice Award, the Dealership Award, Hagerty's Grace, Pace and Space Award, and rosettes waiting for you and your Jaguar.
Participate, join in the fun and camaraderie – hope to see you and your Jaguar(s) on the field!

Constructing a dam on a large river can help provide electricity through hydroelectric power and hold water in reservoirs to share to farmers and fro people to drink but they also drastically cut of the flow of rivers and can dry them up very quickly if not enough water is let through the dam wall.
The water level further downstream from the dam will drop.
This can leave an area in drought because the water feed which it was getting before has been blocked by a dam. For example the Aral Sea which has lost more than 25 metres of water since 1960 because of rivers which feed into it being diverted.

Empress Pee
Philka Tenneh Kamara known by her fans as Empress P was born on 12 January 1992 into the Limba tribe, of Sierra Leone and from an extended Christian family of 6 boys and 4 girls to proud parents. Hon Philipson Kamara and Kathy Kamara. She attended the Y.W.C. Preparatory School Freetown, ANNIE WALSH MEMORIAL SEC SCHOOL and the IPAM University Sierra Leone, where she is currently studying Pure and Applied Accounting.
Empress's genre is rap music, a skill she developed in her early years to express her thoughts to the educated and uneducated over the years with messages of peace, survival, and hope. Something that she later used to work with on advertising campaigns for big companies. In 2010 She started raping officially when inspired by one of Sierra Leone's Kings of rap Kao Denero and has since created a phenomenal chain reaction among female rappers that sets her apart as one of the best female hip hop rappers Sierra Leone has ever produced .
In 2012 Empress was signed by REEMS entertainment which took her career to another level producing songs like "WATCH ME" SEE ME DOWN FT JOECILIA GBONDO, followed by COMOT PAN DEM BAD ft. KAO DENERO…BIG PICTURE FT LEX BUBBLE. Then FEMININE ERA (99BARS)" Which created a nationwide impact in female rap. The ripple effect of the avalanche of talent that Empress generated had her nominated over 5 times as best female hiphop rapper and over 3 times as best new artist. She won the Lake Productions 2013 best new artists award and 2014 diaspora best new artist award.
In 2015 when Ebola struck Sierra Leone, she was opportune to be the only female artist in the group that became known as Concerned Artists which was formed to address issues that could result as an effect of the Ebola virus outbreak, they toured the country, sensitizing people about different out breaks that have been in Sierra Leone in a positive way, working hand in hand with the Ministry of Health and Sanitation and the Ministry of Education. The group comprised of some of Sierra Leones renowned artists such Camouflage, the infamous C.bolt and many others.
In 2015 she was also appointed an Ambassador to one of the most popularly rated phone companies in Sub-Saharan Africa – Airtel. Empress is presently the face of REEMs entertainment, the biggest management record label in Sierra Leone, with one successful hit after another, Empress believes it takes blessings and relentless effort for a girl with no album to have come so far. Empress once again shocked the world in 2016 with the release of Sierra Leone's best music video Boom Bam Boom, which made it to Sierra Leone's top ten on every radio station, and it is still trending and topping the charts.
The nation has waited expectantly for the most widely marketed song recently released MICHELLE &OBAMA by Empress P ft.Camouflage. As REEMs Entertainment works on the music video for "YESU" (Jesus) Empress featuring a renowned Sierra Leone gospel artist Mackie Scott, she has now released her album Green Light, in which this event was covered by Trace Naija TV station from Nigeria. This album is full of surprises, creativity, and finesse,something that has never occurred in the Female hip hop sector of Sierra Leone, a 16 track album with 80% collaboration. There is more to come from this daughter of Sierra Leone.

AS THE independence referendum is to take place in autumn 2014, it's reasonable to assume that the Scottish economy will not yet have re-attained pre-recession levels of output and employment.
The Treasury's average of independent forecasts puts UK growth this year at 0.9 per cent; less than a third of what the Office for Budget Responsibility was predicting only two years ago. Per capita GDP has actually fallen in 2011 and 2012.
Grim as economic data continue to be, it is the trends hidden in the detail of the jobs figures which provide most cause for concern. Underemployment has risen rapidly since 2008 with a quarter of a million Scots currently unable to work the hours they need to make ends meet. Full-time and employee jobs continue to disappear and progress in tackling youth and long-term unemployment is wholly inadequate.
Scottish ministers bizarrely trumpet an entrepreneurial boom on the basis of swelling numbers of self-employed workers and non-registered zero-employee firms, while the OECD quietly notes that the UK's uniquely high growth in self-employment explains roughly half the income inequality generated since 1975. And no country witnessed a greater rise in inequality over this period than the UK.
The context may be unambiguously miserable but with the "Edinburgh Agreement" signed by David Cameron and Alex Salmond and the referendum question settled, surely now is the time for the campaigns to move beyond process issues and start engaging in a serious, invigorating debate about Scotland's economic future?
From a trade union perspective, it would be appreciated if some solid ideas were forthcoming on ways in which independence, or indeed additional powers for Holyrood, might be used creatively to develop Scotland's economy – providing more and better jobs, reducing inequality, poverty and economic insecurity, building a financial system that supports productive investment and nurturing a new innovation system. There's been precious little of this stuff so far.
Against the background of a struggling economy and a UK government apparently intent on exacerbating not alleviating structural problems, such a debate could prove fertile ground for the Yes campaign. Yet the SNP's stubborn devotion to low taxes and apparent reticence in embracing anything that hints at radical change seems to constrain imaginative thinking.
Finance Secretary John Swinney's recent interview on Good Morning Scotland following his Budget was instructive. Mr Swinney "did not envisage" personal taxation rising in an independent Scotland. Business taxation would be cut. Perhaps higher taxes on North Sea oil? Hell no. The message could not be clearer: tax will not rise under independence.
The First Minister sung from the hymn sheet at his recent Jimmy Reid Memorial Lecture. The Scottish Government's modelling, the audience was told, indicates that slashing corporation tax is entirely reconcilable with increases in social spending. Revenues will increase as firms make the dash north to stick a brass plaque on a wall in Edinburgh.
The SNP's problem is twofold. First, the magical incentive effects of tax cuts rarely if ever materialise. This is most obviously the case in personal taxation – think of George W Bush's tax cuts which unequivocally slashed revenue, destabilised the economy and achieved nothing in terms of growth and jobs. It is for good reason that the Laffer Curve – the graph which is said to show tax takes rise as taxation levels fall and has been cited by the First Minister in the past – was once memorably described as the "most erroneous and laffable garbage ever hypothesised".
Even on business taxation, the SNP has never managed to set out a convincing case for why cutting corporation tax in an independent Scotland would boost growth, jobs and revenues. Their 2011 discussion paper on corporation tax was an excruciatingly awful piece of work; every argument presented was easily debunked.
Second, there is simply no precedent for the socially just, low tax model promulgated by the SNP. Time and again during the campaign nebulous references have been made to Scotland becoming more like the Nordic nations. Well, corporation tax in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland may be only marginally above the UK rate but the total tax paid by business is significantly higher in all but Denmark. All apart from Norway have higher top statutory rates on personal income – by more than 10 per cent in case of Denmark and Sweden. Most relevantly, total tax revenue is much higher in all four countries with Sweden and Denmark collecting at least 10 per cent more of GDP in taxation each year than the UK.
While the Nordics are highly redistributive nations, their tax systems are less progressive than the UK with much higher tax rates on consumption and labour. Indeed, it is not widely understood that the association between tax progressivity and overall redistribution across countries is negative. Redistribution is primarily driven by the level of taxation, not its structure.
Comparative evidence shows that affluent countries that achieve substantial inequality reduction do so with tax systems less progressive than the UK's. Would Ministers in an independent Scotland sanction the level of both taxes and transfers necessary to make a serious and enduring dent in inequality? There is nothing in the recent report of the Scottish Government's Fiscal Commission that suggests hard choices can be avoided.
It's also curious and frustrating that there seems to be little interest in other key mechanisms which work for the Nordics in reducing inequality and providing the conditions for long-term, more sustainable growth: stronger social safety nets, much wider collective bargaining coverage, a concern about the nature as well as the quantity of work, more widely dispersed ownership and innovation systems where risk and reward are more evenly shared.
Of course, it would also be nice to hear from Better Together on how they see Scotland's economy developing as part of the UK should a No vote be returned next year. The UK's "financialised" economic model isn't working. Inequality rockets while social mobility declines. An exceptionally short-termist business culture fails to support patient investment and undermines innovation whilst enabling executives to extract extravagant, unwarranted rewards. Flexible labour markets work for firms seeking to boost short term profits but against the economic security of workers. Can Scotland overcome these deeply embedded problems as part of the UK? If so, how?
The referendum provides a genuine opportunity for a serious discussion on how the Scottish economy can be developed to meet the needs of all our citizens. It must be grasped by both sides.

A haunting and terrifying domestic noir that combines the psychological suspense of The Girl on The Train with the poetic poignancy of Anita Shreve.
On a hot February afternoon, 26-year-old Jenna kisses her sleeping son, runs a bath and takes her own life. You win - I win. With a loving husband, an adorable son and a stunning estate, Jenna's charmed life is a stark contrast to that of lifelong best friend, Fairlie Winter. So when Jenna's husband Ark calls to tell her that Jenna has committed suicide, Fairlie is driven crazy with unanswered questions.
Should she have seen this coming? What did Jenna's mother, Evelyn, do to drive them apart all those years ago? And what is Ark hiding?
Until a letter arrives in the mail. In Jenna's handwriting. And a key.
Led on a search for answers, Fairlie discovers a horrifying past, a desperate mother and the deepest secret kept by those she loved the most.
Both heartbreaking and terrifying, Like I Can Love explores different kinds of love, from the most fragile to the most dangerous, and the unthinkable things love can make us do.
Kim Lock lives in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, with her partner and their children, a dog and a couple of cats. She has worked around Australia as a graphic designer and volunteered as a breastfeeding counsellor. Her non-fiction has appeared in The Guardian, Daily Life, and The Sydney Morning Herald. Her fiction explores the stories that shape people's lives, but that they hide from society. Like I Can Love is her second novel.
Like I Can Love
Macmillan Australia
Author: Kim Lock
Question: What inspired the story of Like I Can Love?
Kim Lock : It's hard to answer that question without spoilers, but I can tell you that the idea for Jenna was sparked when someone close to me ended a long-term relationship.
Question: There are several issues raised in this book. Was this deliberate or did the story evolve this way?
Kim Lock : Much of this story evolved organically. Often, I don't even know what is going to happen to the characters until it happens on the page right in front of me! But considering how individually complex relationships are, it felt inevitable that several themes would become entwined within this story.
Question: Can you talk about the research you conducted for Like I Can Love?
Kim Lock : The most interesting – and at times gruelling – research was talking to police officers about police procedure. Some of the questions I asked were very difficult, and it really struck me that while I was asking questions about a fictional character, they were answering based on real-life situations.
Question: How much of your inspiration comes from real life and real people?
Kim Lock : I am often inspired by people I meet and stories I hear. News stories, snippets of gossip, following people's lives on social media – humans are complicated and extraordinary creatures, with endlessly fascinating lives.
Question: What did you enjoy most about creating the character of Jenna?
Kim Lock : Exploring the depth of her emotions, and her reactions to certain situations.

A parametric smoothing model is developed to quantitatively describe the smoothing action of polishing tools that use visco-elastic materials. These materials flow to conform to the aspheric shape of the workpieces, yet behave as a rigid solid for short duration caused by tool motion over surface irregularities. The smoothing effect naturally corrects the mid-to-high frequency errors on the workpiece while a large polishing lap still removes large scale errors effectively in a short time. Quantifying the smoothing effect allows improvements in efficiency for finishing large precision optics. We define normalized smoothing factor SF which can be described with two parameters. A series of experiments using a conventional pitch tool and the rigid conformal (RC) lap was performed and compared to verify the parametric smoothing model. The linear trend of the SF function was clearly verified. Also, the limiting minimum ripple magnitude PVmin from the smoothing actions and SF function slope change due to the total compressive stiffness of the whole tool were measured. These data were successfully fit using the parametric smoothing model.

I am really thankful to Ka for his time of raw coaching.
It helped me isolate my blocks to success, and together we worked through strategies for growth and development. I found this time a truly life changing and life enhancing event.
I KNOW that I will look back to that meeting and say to myself 'that was the turning point'.
Ka was very supportive and encouraging of my plans to do stuff in the raw food world, around tv shows in different languages and plans to use my horticultural training.
My wife and I want to thank you for the beautiful e-mails you send to us about the beauty of living foods and the magical wonders of spending time outdoors in Nature. I personally want to let you know how grateful we are, and I'm sure many others feel this way. You are a good teacher with a lot of love in your heart, and I know you were meant to be here on Earth to teach this.
Jay and Linda Kordich sold almost a billion dollars worth of his famous Juiceman Juicer. Jay is 86 years young and lives together with his wife and 2 sons in the USA.
I just want to thank you for your personal business coaching.The call gave me lots of inspiration and most of all a very good plan in "what to do now". Now I've got so much more a clear view in what to do and most of all how to reach my goal.
Now I can see my successful way very clear and colourful. I just don't feel so helpless anymore. Biggest thanks for you help.
Ka's program is a comprehensive and practical step by step guide into starting your own internet business. Basic information is given on all relevant subjects with handy links to useful websites. A very, very good tool which I will certainly use to start my own business.
Ka manages to over and over again find that inner core… he touches that inner core of myself - who I truly am - to bring out my special gifts and help me with the realization of how to manifest them. He asks the right questions and I can attest that what he does comes straight from the heart!
Ka is an incredible human being, with a strong will to help others and also humanity as a whole. As a coach he's quite gifted indeed, particularly at getting you to delve deep into your mind and soul to ask yourself, "What is it you REALLY want to do with your life, how can you get there fast and what's holding you back?"
I've had the idea to start an online business for quite some time, but just didn't know where to start. A brief attempt some time ago was leading me nowhere, as I didn't know HOW and where I wanted to go. Ka and Katie's program has helped me so much to get a clear picture of what I really want. Finally I was able to start a website, to use YouTube and Facebook properly and to gain subscribers. A big thanks for everything :)
After speaking with Ka, I decided I would see what he's got to offer as a coach and see if HE would be the one to help me take things up a notch for myself. As much as I love my life and am thrilled by what I do, it's great to have someone who's willing to help you raise the bar a bit. Talking with Ka was like tapping into an electrical socket of inspiration. I told him during the call what an inspiration he was and he had the best response ever!
If you're looking for ideas on how to expand your business and make more money, Ka definitely has good advice to offer. With Ka's advice, making the next move for your business is easy! He gave us a good direction and plan. Thanks Ka for making the consultation very efficient by being radically honest and telling us what we needed to hear!
How nice! Thank you for your passionate words! During the last weeks, I came so close to you and the people in the Business School. This is an incomparable experience. When there are so many people who live for their purpose and fight for beautiful Mother Earth, then powerful energy arises… Gaya power. Thank you, dear Ka, for helping us to "give birth" to our ideas and making all this possible.
This session was absolutely the best ever, as they're always even better than the last ones. It really feels good to me that we got deeper into this part of my life. They're wonderfully diverse coaching sessions. Who could have thought I'd get so much out of this, so much more than I imagined. The amount I paid is nothing compared to this! Thank you so much, Ka!
I signed up to Ka's programme and was very surprised by how thorough the information provided was. I was able to get started with my business very quickly and had feedback and support from Ka consistently. It's easy to follow and is well worth the price paid. Ka is a great coach who's very inspiring with lots of positive energy. Always there to help and support you. I definitely recommend him!
Dear Ka and Katie, Hello everyone! We've listened to and read the 3rd module today and we wanted to share our goose bump feeling and "a big thank you to Ka and Katie". Already now, after two weeks, Karen and I are incredibly grateful for the opportunity that Ka and Katie have offered us.
Dear Ka, Particularly from your last words I got goose bumps. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Since I've joined the Business School, my life has changed dramatically. I would never have believed that I would get to know so many marvelous people who think in the same way as me. I'm eternally grateful to you.
Blessings and thanks to Ka for helping me to sharpen my Focus and Grow in my ability so I'm better able to reach out with my Passions, thereby helping to fulfil my Purpose of growing in loving service. I can highly recommend Ka Sundance's service to anyone who has a heart based business and is serious about making an impact in the world.
You Rock Ka. Thank you so much for all you do. 20 days down and I've never felt so alive. I look forward to my journey embracing life through raw live foods. The word is spreading. People are ready for the truth in eating for life. You both are my inspiration. Thank you Ka also for your e-zine, so inspirational and informative.
Ka's service is put together with amazingly cutting-edge material, which really allows you to start an Internet business fast. What's special about Ka's business service isn't only his status as an expert or his generosity with insider knowledge, it's especially his authenticity and love with everything he does. I wholeheartedly recommend Ka Sundance's business service and wish Ka and his family all the best and lots of success!
Big THANK YOU Ka!!! You left me so inspired and confident in just that short time! I'm still amazed by the inspiration you gave me. Right away you believed in my passion and purpose on this Earth and this gives me enough strength to believe I can live my passion fully as my truth and as my main source of income.
You and your family GIVE ME SO MUCH INSPIRATION! I LOVE to see your family so healthy and happy! I really feel connected with you in your videos, you have a great talent and voice. You are a lovely being! And simply I want to say THANK YOU for everything you're doing.
My husband and I enjoyed a coaching session with Ka Sundance recently. He is extremely intuitive, practical, kind and helpful. He has a wonderful coaching technique and makes you feel very comfortable and "meets" you where you are in your personal progress. He's also very thorough and has a gift for getting to the root of your issues.
My highest recommendations for "The SundanceFamily Business School". You get clear structures and helpful guidelines, lots of first hand practical experience and a sincere openness with countless authentic videos of someone, who has done all this himself and is very successful with it!
I just wanted to say thank you, I'm not in the same place as you but I'm veering in the right direction and families like yourself give me extreme hope that there is the possibility of a world out there where people love unconditionally and want to give and reach out to total strangers like brothers and sisters. Big love to you all. You're doing great things.
Dear Ka, Thank you for the precious information you shared on Tuesday. Part 3 of the course is really brilliant, especially the topic of using interviews to support each other and communicate our message even more efficiently to the world.
I just watched your video answering all of my questions. It brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Thank you so much for taking your time and doing this. You all are doing such a wonderful job conveying information in such a loving, natural way.
I have fallen in love with your family!!! I wish I could give all your children a big hug! Thanks so much for sharing, it helps to not feel so isolated, raising children with this kind of a diet…MUCH LOOOOOVE.
Thank you so much for the wonderfully informative free ebook that you sent me! What a pleasure it is to connect with you all. I enjoy your videos so much, it's such important information that you're giving! Many blessings to you!
Wow! Look at everything I've accomplished in the last few weeks. Me, an avowed techno-phobic! Ka, if you can teach me how to create a website and an online business, you can teach ANYONE!!
You're a true inspiration, Ka Sundance! We're so grateful to have connected with you at just the perfect time. Thank you for your insight, expertise, guidance, enthusiasm and support.
The book "Raising Healthy Children" was very inspirational for us and also educational. I credit The SundanceFamily as some of the pioneers who were guides for my family on our journey. Delicious recipes too!
Ka is great for going with you to deep places and dealing with what's there, then feeling for the thread that leads out to the light. Ka gets it. He's clear and straightforward, loving and inspiring.
Ka, I loved how much fun we had with the coaching! Thank you for the wonderful questions and insight, you're a beautiful man and will bless anyone who has the pleasure of being coached by you.
Thank you so much for your inspiring words. I am so glad to be a member of this group and I'm looking forward to us working together in the future.
My experience with Ka Sundance and his coaching program was very helpful. I'm ever grateful for his hanging in there with me and pushing me forward to a better realization of my life.
I did one month of coaching with Ka Sundance. AMAZINGLY special!
Just a big Thank You for your wonderful books, they're magnificent.
Thank you Ka for such a wonderful session! I left feeling so light and infused with extraordinary confidence. You're so kind to offer your loving energy in this way, and help with the beautiful transformation of this world.

TROY — Troy Police Department detectives arrested a Troy man for alleged sexual battery of a minor on Tuesday.
Chase Fulghum, 21, was charged with five counts of third-degree felony sexual battery and incarcerated at the Miami County Jail. Fulghum was arraigned on the charges in Miami County Municipal Court on Wednesday. His bond was set for $175,000 on all charges.
According to reports, the victim, age 14, reported the allegations against Fulghum while detectives were investigating another case of sexual misconduct involving the victim. The victim was known to Fulghum.
The victim alleged Fulghum performed a variety of sex acts while she was intoxicated and then later on while she was asleep. The victim said Fulghum had more than a bottle of alcohol and they started to play "Spin the Bottle" prior to the alleged crimes. In the report, the victim stated Fulghum apologized. The victim told authorities she wouldn't have done the sexual acts if she hadn't been drunk. Fulghum refused to speak to detectives and his phone was seized as evidence, according to reports.

5900 S Western Avenue Suite 200
Sioux Falls, SD 57108
Two Days later we sold the house!
For three years we tried to sell our home, a very large 5 bedroom plus. Open house after open house, no offers, not even a "what would you take?!" Finally we decided one more shot before winter comes… so we decided to switch Realtors. I had been contacted by Fisher Sisters Team (No Relation) and by her persistence my wife and I decided to listen to what she had to offer! Done! Two Days later we sold the house! And when I say we, I mean, my wife, myself, & Danielle Fisher- Bruce and Cheryl Fischer
She is a terrific negotiator who can think on her feet!
Dana differentiated herself by focusing on being our adviser and partner. She is a terrific negotiator who can think on her feet. She also was very in tune to our unique criteria in finding the perfect home and she wasn't shy about thinking outside the box. For example, she spoke to several people that weren't listing their homes and was able to get them to consider if they would sell their home to us. We think this goes above and beyond what a Realtor needs to do for their client.-Sean & Brenda Mayer-Hansen
…pleasure to work with!
Dana proved extremely beneficial I my family's search for our first home. She is knowledgeable in her craft and a pleasure to work with. In addition, I am immensely thankful for her outstanding contributions to the local community; Dana donated a percentage of her commission to a non-profit of our choice. Passion is an uncommon gift, but one Dana uses and spreads abundantly.-Jonnie Tate & Dalton Walker
…she made me feel like I was the most important client she had!
My buying experience with Dana was one of the best transactions I have been through. Dana made it exciting in the beginning, understandable in the middle, and completely satisfying in the end. Whenever I had a question or an extra need during the process, she was quick to answer-she made me feel like I was the most important client she had. Dana literally made it a worry-free procedure for me, as soon as I singed with her everything went as smoothly and quickly as possible. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable, non-stressful, and swift transaction!-Anna Wiese
I have never experienced such outstanding service!
Dana always worked around my schedule and made great use of my time. One of the most notable attributes of Dana is her tenacity in working for her clients. That tenacity showed the first day I met Dana to the day I closed on the house. I have never experienced such outstanding service.-Chad Carpenter
Once Danielle took over, our troubles were over!
After attempting to FSBO our home for 6 weeks, we reluctantly decided to list with an agent. I received a call from Danielle…Once Danielle took over, out troubles were over! We never dreamed that the process would be so easy and that our sales agent would be so thorough and professional. We have and will continue to recommend Danielle Fisher to our family and friends.-Bryan & Jo Lewis
She was able to negotiate a great price!
Danielle went the extra mile to ensure things were completed to my satisfaction. Danielle always kept me up to date on anything that came up in regard to our home. I felt comfortable to call or email her with any questions that I had. Danielle was always prompt in replying to messages and always kept our appointments. She was also able to negotiate a great price. Her service is very professional yet very personable. I would highly recommend Danielle Fisher to anyone buying or selling a home.-Cody & Mallary Van Tol
She will work hard for you with your needs in mind!
Buying a home is a huge deal. One of the largest decisions people will ever make in their lives. At least that is what we think. So when it came to picking a realtor we wanted someone who knew the market well and had done their homework. Danielle knows her business. She worked very hard to meet and or exceed our goals. She also took the time to get to know us and what we both wanted in a home. We found that extremely helpful as we began our search. Her professionalism, experience and her diligence helped us find the home we love. Contact Danielle today. She will work hard for you with your needs in mind.-Gene & Kim Skyberg
She really paid attention to every detail!
My husband and I were in the process of moving out of our townhouse in order to add to our family. We needed extra space that a townhouse just could not provide. Our only problem was time. Our decision left us with one problem, our contract was almost up, and we had yet to start looking at homes. I instantly called Danielle just to see what she had to offer. On our first meeting I knew that we had found the right person for the job. She was very knowledgeable, understanding and fun to work with. She was also available 24/7 with any question I had. A couple of days later, she showed us a few houses that were exactly what we were looking for! She really paid attention to every detail. We looked around a few other times, but one of the first houses we were shown was the house that we chose. We were so happy with how smooth the process was and would strongly recommend Danielle to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!- Kyle & Krista Kayser
Dana immediately had my house staged and professional pictures taken!
Once again I had an outstanding experience with Dana. Dana immediately had my house staged and professional pictures taken of it. I toured the internet to see my house had a lot of great pictures and a virtual tour along with a great description. Furthermore Dana located a buyer for me & put the deal together. Once again, thank you Dana!-Chad Carpenter

I am ashamed to say that until recently I was part of the majority: I am the chief executive of a company that gave different benefits to different groups of employees.
Like so many companies before us, my company, Rent the Runway, had two tiers of workers. Our salaried employees — who typically came from relatively privileged, educated backgrounds — were given generous parental leave, paid sick leave and the flexibility to work from home, or even abroad. Our hourly employees, working in Rent the Runway's warehouse, on the customer service team and in our retail stores, had to face life events like caring for a newborn, grieving after the death of a family member or taking care of a critically ill loved one without this same level of benefits.
I had inadvertently created classes of employees — and by doing so, had done my part to contribute to America's inequality problem.
When you're founding a business, you take your cues on corporate culture from larger, already successful organizations. In America, some of the biggest companies have decided to handle the dual pressures of keeping costs down while retaining "corporate talent" by ramping up benefits packages. Companies like Starbucks and Walgreens compete for top-tier candidates by offering cushy policies in areas like parental leave or vacation.
But the best benefits are reserved for corporate talent, for whom the competition is considered steepest; employees who work at hourly rates are an afterthought (and that doesn't begin to factor in companies like Uber that opt to consider the people they work with "contractors"). When I started Rent the Runway, I simply followed suit.
But over the years, I began to reflect on how the system that I and others had constructed may have been perpetuating deep-seated social problems. Last month, I equalized benefits for all of our employees at Rent the Runway. Our warehouse, customer service and store employees now have the same bereavement, parental leave, family sick leave and sabbatical packages that corporate employees have.
We know the grim statistics, such as only 14 percent of civilian workers in the United States have access to paid family leave; one in every four new mothers go back to work just 10 days after giving birth; and people who make more than $75,000 a year are twice as likely as those who make less than $30,000 to get paid leave.
Of course, chief executives and their leadership teams have outsize salaries as well as outsize benefits. C.E.O.s at the 350 largest companies make 271 times the earnings of the typical worker. The people with the most means have the most flexibility in their lives, not only because they have the ability to throw money at their problems but also because their companies grant them this flexibility to keep them happy.
When Reed Hastings needed a break from the early days of building Netflix, his board allowed him to live in Italy part time for a year with his family. When Marissa Mayer, the former Yahoo chief executive, had a child, she had a nursery built in the office. When I had a daughter a year ago, I could afford to pay for child care throughout my maternity leave and afterward, so returning to work was seamless.
But the people who are working in warehouses and call centers and retail stores around the country generally have few safety nets. I have a deeper understanding now than when I founded Rent the Runway about the ways these missing safety nets contribute to unemployment and limit social mobility. When I announced our new paid family sick leave plan at our warehouse, for instance, a woman stood up to see whether she could use this policy to care for her daughter, who was scheduled to have a C-section soon. Before that, she had been planning to simply quit her job, without ever telling us why.
This has to change. As a founder of a company that has grown from two employees to 1,200 over the last eight years, I implicitly understand that Rent the Runway would not exist without the dedication and loyalty of our team. Don't I owe it to the team that got me here to take care of them?
I believe that these new policies are not only in the best interests of our employees but also of Rent the Runway itself, which I'm hoping will see higher retention rates, lower training costs and better overall productivity from more experienced employees. I believe that these new policies will help us retain corporate employees too, or at least those who care about working at a company that takes values seriously: I received more positive feedback about these changes from my corporate team than about any other leadership decision I have ever made.
It's time for business leaders to step up and fulfill not only their fiduciary duty to shareholders, but also their moral duty to society to treat every worker equally.
We have the power to create the kind of workplace culture we want. And I hope our actions create a ripple effect at companies that will either have to disrupt their own cultures or see millennial and Generation Z employees choose to work at companies that more closely align with their values.
I want Rent the Runway to be an example of what a modern workplace should be — a leader in creating a more human workplace, where the heart is just as important as the head, and where we show that we care about each and every member of our team equally.

How and when you can change your Medicare coverage
There's less than a week remaining in Medicare's annual open enrollment. Here's what you need to know.
Changing coverage: Key takeaways
- October 15 – December 7, 2019 – Medicare's annual open enrollment period
- January 1 – March 31 – You can sign up for Medicare Part A or B if you didn't sign up when you were first eligible.
- January 1 – March 31 – The new Medicare Advantage open enrollment period is an opportunity for people already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan to switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or switch to Original Medicare.
- December 8, 2018 – November 30, 2019 – You may be able to switch to a new Advantage or Part D plan.
- You can apply for Medigap at any time, but in most states, your application will be subject to medical underwriting if you're not in your initial six-month eligibility window.
How you can change Medicare coverage during open enrollment
Open enrollment for Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D coverage started October 15 and continues through December 7. Changes during this enrollment period will be effective for 2020 coverage.
During this open enrollment period, you can:
- switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another, or from one Medicare Part D plan to another and
- if you didn't enroll in a Part D plan when you were first eligible, you can do so during the general open enrollment, although a late enrollment penalty may apply.
- If you want to enroll in a a Medicare Advantage plan, you must meet some basic criteria.
Medicare changes outside of open enrollment
Enrolling in Medicare Part A and B
- If you didn't sign up for Medicare A and B when you were first eligible, you can enroll between January 1 and March 31, with coverage effective July 1, but you may be subject to a late enrollment penalty. (For Medicare Part B, the penalty is an additional 10 percent of the premium for each 12-month period that you were eligible but not enrolled, and did not have other creditable coverage in place. Medicare Part A is premium-free for most enrollees, based on work history, but there is a late enrollment penalty that applies if you're subject to premiums for Part A.)
Changing or leaving Medicare Advantage plans
- In addition to the regular annual open enrollment period, beneficiaries who have Medicare Advantage also have a chance to change their coverage during the first three months of the year. Starting in 2019, there is a new Medicare Advantage open enrollment period, from January 1 to March 31. (It's not really new, since this is the system that was used prior to 2011, but the ACA switched to a Medicare Advantage disenrollment period, during which Advantage enrollees could drop their Medicare Advantage plan and return to Original Medicare; that system is being replaced by the new open enrollment period.)
- The new Medicare Advantage open enrollment period, which was authorized by the 21st Century Cures Act (see Section 17005), allows a person who is already enrolled in Medicare Advantage to switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan. They also have the option to switch back to Original Medicare and pick a Part D prescription plan at the same time (as was the case under the previously used disenrollment period). They can apply for a Medigap plan at that point as well, but unless they have a guaranteed-issue right, Medigap insurers in most states can use medical underwriting to determine whether to accept the application.
- The new enrollment period means that if you signed up for a Medicare Advantage plan during the annual election period (October 15 to December 7) and then decide you're not happy with it once it takes effect, you have the option to switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan (or back to Original Medicare) at any time during the first three months of the new year. But you can only exercise this right one time per year (as opposed to the annual election period, when there's no limit on how many times you can change your mind).
- From December 8 through November 30 each year – you can actually switch to a new Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D plan – if you enroll in a plan in your area that has earned the government's five-star (excellent) rating. For 2019, there are a total of 19 plans that received a five-star rating (fifteen Medicare Advantage plans and four stand-alone Part D plans).
For a thorough overview of the changes you can make to your coverage, read How do I change my Medicare coverage?
Enrolling in or making changes to Medigap
- You can apply for a Medicare Supplemental Insurance (Medigap) plan at any time during the year. If you're within the six-month open enrollment window that begins when you turn 65, the coverage is guaranteed issue. That is also the case if you're in a special enrollment period triggered by a qualifying event.
- You can still apply for a Medigap plan outside of open/special enrollment periods – although in most states, carriers will use medical underwriting to determine whether to accept your application, and how much to charge you. There are several states, however, where Medigap coverage is guaranteed issue for at least some point during each year.

The reduction in red meat sales has led to 28,000 tonnes less meat, fish and poultry bought annually
Sales of red meat have been hit by a reduction in 'volume-driving' multi-buy deals, according to AHDB.
This has led to a loss of £272 million in meat, fish and poultry sales annually, but there has been growth in non-promoted product sales.
Poultry has been least affected by the changes, with temporary price reductions helping boost sales. The most heavily affected products have been red meat and sausages.
AHDB consumer insight analyst Rebecca Hughes said the big supermarkets have changed strategy to compete with discounters, such as Aldi and Lidl, and were concentrating on an 'everyday low pricing' strategy.
"This is one of the biggest changes occurring in grocery as a whole and it has definitely affected meat, which has historically relied on these promotions in order to boost volume," she said.
About 40 per cent of the loss is from deals offering three products for £10. This change has been led by Sainsbury's although Tesco also recently began to phase the deal out. Together, these retailers have about 45 per cent market share of grocery.
If other major retailers move this way and shoppers react in a similar way, it could result in a further loss of more than £100m in meat, fish and poultry sales.
