Francis Ackerman
PORTLAND - Francis Edward Ackerman passed away on Aug. 12, 2018, in Portland, Maine. Born in Washington D.C. on Dec. 2, 1951, Francis, or "Kicky" as he was called by family and friends, was the son of Edward and Adrienne Ackerman. The family moved to a mountainside in the Vaud, Switzerland, in 1960 for alpine air to remedy his childhood illnesses. At the age of 10, he began his formal education at boarding school in England; first at King's Mead in Sussex; then winning a scholarship to the ancient school of Charterhouse in Surrey, followed by Bedales in Hampshire. He received his Bachelor of Arts in History at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge in 1973 and later earned his J.D. from Boston University in 1979.
Having known each other all their lives, Francis married Anne Marie (Pusti) Buschardt of Holte, Denmark in 1983 after a five-year courtship. They lived in Boston, Copenhagen, and Paris, before moving to Maine in 1985. Settling in an old farmhouse that Francis named 'Bushwhack Farm,' Pusti created beautiful gardens and Kicky explored and tended the "back forty." Here they raised their three children, Cecilia, Anna, and Peter. Over the years, they cultivated many friendships. Kicky was a gracious host with a special flair for creating festive celebrations. Pusti and Kicky saw eye-to-eye on life values, and together made Pusti's Danish upbringing a central part of their family, often bringing it to the wider community. Kicky was Pusti's best friend and the love of her life.
Francis worked as Assistant Attorney General of Maine in Augusta; he subsequently served as Deputy Attorney General for the State of Maine for several years. He was respected for his thoughtfulness as a lawyer; the quality of his legal writing, his presentations in court, and his negotiations with opposing lawyers. The legal work about which he cared most were cases that protected people from bias-motivated violence and cases that held businesses accountable to play by the rules, in both anti-trust and consumer protection. For Francis, the practice of law was an extension of his commitment to progressive principles of fairness and justice. Francis did not count his victories or seek praise. It was enough for him to know that, as a result of his work, a family became safe from violence, or a business was required to compete fairly.
Francis retired in 2008. Though many people couldn't tell, he had already had Parkinson's Disease for eight years. Together he and Pusti faced the indescribable complexities of the disease with optimism and courage. By maintaining a life as unchanged as possible for their family, they continued regular travels to Switzerland and Denmark, with visits to the UK, France, and even Morocco. His way of fighting the disease was to challenge it in return: playing ping pong and soccer avidly, climbing Mount Katahdin in Maine and Dents du Morcles in the Alps. In the last decade of his life, Francis and his sister, Julia, co-authored a historical novel. Inspired by a 13th century Icelandic saga, he was fully committed to this endeavor and their tale gave voice to his spiritual journey and wide-ranging imagination. Writing had always been one of his greatest joys.
To his children, Francis was "Far." A loving and devoted father, he taught his children the importance and joy of imagination. He made the world a magical place, where everything had unexpected narratives and came alive. They will especially remember his amazing capacity to write original songs for every birthday and special occasion, waking up to the aroma of his blueberry pancakes, playing games of all sorts together, and his love for their mother.
He is remembered by friends and family across the world for his love of storytelling, proverbs, literature, recitation and song; his fluency with language, whether English, French, or Danish; his old-world intellect, charm and wit; his curiosity and generosity toward friends and strangers alike; and his belief in fighting injustice and helping those who are most vulnerable.
Francis is survived by his wife of 35 years, Anne Marie Buschardt of Augusta, Maine; by his three children, Cecilia Ackerman, Anna Ackerman, and Peter Ackerman; by his four siblings, Helen Weston Ackerman, Julia H. Ackerman, Justin Ackerman, and Tippy Ackerman; his nieces and nephews, Damien Petty, August Popkin, Clair Popkin, Anouk Ackerman, Aurelie Baroni-Ackerman, and Jayden Xu-Ackerman; his five Danish brothers-in-law and their spouses, Peter and Kirsten Buschardt, Jan and Joan Buschardt, Anders and Manuela Buschardt, Claus and Gitte Buschardt, Jacob and Mireille Buschardt, and 11 nieces and nephews in Denmark and Switzerland.
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m., on Friday, Aug. 17, at the Harrington Meeting House, 278 Harrington Road, Bristol.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the:
Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

LiveWell Dementia Specialists in Plantsville, CT has received $250,000 in funding for a 2-year project to engage people with dementia as research partners. The first of its kind, the Empowering Partnerships project aims to enhance research by developing a network of people with dementia, family care partners, and researchers to be involved in all aspects of clinical research.
Inspired by a key recommendation from the 2017 National Research Summit on Dementia, this project aims to meet the request to fund more research on how people living with dementia and their care partners can become partners in research. This is a key unmet need, considering that enrolling participants for clinical trials of prospective dementia treatments now takes as long or longer than the trial itself, turning 18-month trials into 3- to 4-year trials.
The project will train people with dementia on research concepts, study design, and methods. Other components of the project include:
• expansion and strengthening of a peer-to-peer network of people living with dementia, the Dementia Peer Coalition;
• creation and delivery of a training program on research concepts and ways to partner on study design and methods, including how to leverage strengths and retained abilities of people living with dementia;
• find and sharing research topics important to people living with dementia;
• building and distributing a toolkit for project replication
Bob Savage, a person living with dementia who cofounded the Dementia Peer Coalition said, "I need researchers to partner with me, evaluate what matters, and validate what is working."
Geri Taylor, also living with dementia, adds "Speak with me, not for me."
"As researchers, we think that because we read the scientific literature that we know what benefits are most important to people living with dementia. There may be other outcomes that we didn't even consider that people living with dementia could tell us about. The same goes for care partners", said Dr. Richard Fortinsky, Ph.D. Professor, UConn Center on Aging.
Stephani Shivers, chief operating officer, community services, LiveWell Dementia Specialists, noted "People with every other chronic disease and disability are being brought to the research table, yet people with dementia aren't even considered. They are immediately marginalized, even though they can actively participate in research for years if we access their retained strengths and learn to compensate for their cognitive disabilities."
Funding comes from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), Engagement Awards program. An independent, non-profit organization, PCORI was authorized by Congress in 2010 to fund comparative effectiveness research to give patients, caregivers, and clinicians access to evidence for health care decision making. Partners in the project include Yale University School of Medicine, University of Connecticut Center on Aging, the National Alzheimer's & Dementia Patient & Caregiver-powered Research Network (PPRM) and the Alliance for Aging Research. Project management and leadership will be provided by HoodenPyleGil (Milford, CT), a systems research and innovation lab.

Manchester United gave title holders Bayern Munich a real scare, before the Germans found their mojo yet again to pull off a come-from-behind 3-1 victory which saw them through to the semifinals of the Champions League 4-2 on aggregate.
Bayern were in real trouble of being dumped out by United when Patrice Evra scored for the away side in the 57th minute. However, Mario Mandzukic answered back immediately for Bayern, equalling the tie on the day and on aggregate, before Thomas Muller, in the 67th minute, and Arjen Robben, nine minutes later, put the game to bed.
"When you are a schoolboy you get told make sure when you score you don't concede straight away, we conceded too quickly," United manager David Moyes said. "It was always going to be a tough night and once we got the first goal we had to give ourselves five or ten minutes where we could stop them getting the ball but from the kick-off they went up the pitch and scored.
"I don't know whether it was a bit of concentration, thrilled we got the goal but we have got enough experience on the pitch where we should have done it - but they didn't do an awful lot wrong tonight, I thought the players played over so well and I was pleased with the performance and just a couple of small errors that cost us in the end.
"I never thought we were out the game, I always thought we were in with a chance and at 2-1 we needed just to get that goal to get back to 2-2, but that third goal killed us, and I thought that was a bit of bad luck."
Bayern manager Pep Guardiola, who was rather frustrated after the first leg result at Old Trafford, which finished 1-1, and would have been fearing the worst a few minutes into the second half, was a relieved man after seeing his side fight back with great effect against a determined United side.
"The game was very similar to the first leg in Manchester," Guardiola said after the win on Wednesday night. "Arjen and Franck [Ribery] were fantastic in the second half today. We tried to play in between the lines with Thomas constantly on the move.
"But it is never easy against an English team. They play solid and quick counterattacking football and offer very little space to play into. Evra scored a great goal for the opener, but we responded immediately. I am very, very proud of my team."

Ankara.- (GreekNewsOnline, ANA-MPA)

Prime Minister Tsipras and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan agreed to revive dialogue in order to reduce tension in the Aegean and have preparatory meetings to discuss the crucial for the Cyprus negotiations issue of security. Greek Prime Minister who is on a two-day visit in Turkey had yesterday long talks with President Erdogan.
"I believe that in the future progress can be made and we can repeat our exploratory talks on the subject of our outstanding disagreement regarding the continental shelf in the Aegean Sea," Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Tuesday, during joint statements with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan following their meeting.
Prime Minister Tsipras referred to the difficult points of the Greek-Turkish relations in recent times. These, he said, included among others the frequent violations of the Greek national airspace by Turkish aircraft, the case of the eight Turkish officers who requested asylum in Greece following a coup in Turkey, and the two Greek officers who were arrested crossing the borders and released after over five months in custody.
"Our dialogue, through these years, has been frank and important not only for the future of our people but also for the wider region," Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said. He added that the two countries managed to "cooperate closely throughout 2015 and 2016, a crucial period that saw the breakout of an unprecedented refugee and migrant crisis, and for the first time we managed to cooperate not only on matters of so-called low-level politics, but also to deal with an international issue of grave importance, the refugee and migration crisis."
Concerning the case of the eight Turkish officers, Tsipras reiterated that Greek justices made specific decisions that the Greek state, following the rule of law, was obliged to respect. He added that Greece does not welcome people involved in coups. He also noted he was one of the first leaders to call Erdogan following the coup d' etat attempt in in July 2016 to express the support of Greece, a country defending democracy and freedom.
Despite these thorny issues, Tsipras added, "We did not accept this vicious cycle as our destiny," but instead recognised that "the challenges we are currently facing in our time and our region do not allow us to remain trapped in dead-end situations".
"We have agreed that in the coming period we will act to reduce tension in the Aegean sea and to promote confidence-building measures that will help establish mutual trust," Tsipras continued, stressing that any new relation will have to anchored in respect for international law, the avoidance of threats of war and the mutual understanding of each other's concerns."
He then reminded journalists that Erdogan's visit to Greece in 2017 marked the first time in 65 years a Turkish president was visiting the country, and that he himself has already made four official visits to Turkey.
On the Cypriot issue, he noted the need for a just and viable solution that will respect the United Nations resolutions; will be to the benefit of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots alike and will restore Cyprus to normality as a reunited, federal country.
He added that Greece and Turkey need to avoid making the same mistakes as in the past and, to that purpose, should schedule preparatory meetings on the crucial issue of security, which concerns the two countries equally.
Furthermore, Tsipras expressed the desire for energy to provide a bridge for cooperation rather than becoming an obstacle in the region, and said that the two leaders agreed to work towards implementing a sea route connection between Izmir (Smyrna) and Thessaloniki by this summer.
On the cooperation between Turkey and the EU on the migration issue, Tsipras said that the Turkish President and he talked about reducing flows, as well as the need to increase the number of readmissions and to effectively deal with human traffickers.
He went on to stress that they discussed the prospect of reconsidering the customs union of Turkey with the EU, which would benefit all countries in the area. Greece, Tsipras said, supports Turkey's European Union accession and added that it would benefit both the country and the EU.
The Greek PM also stated that this is a very important period for Greece, which is "returning to the markets after a long period of crisis, solving problems that have lingered on for decades such as our difference with our northern neighbour, North Macedonia" and underlined the need "to create conditions that will be conducive to a climate of safety, peace and cooperation in the Aegean."
"We want to place the foundations now in order to be able to build one day," Tsipras said in conclusion, and stressed that the purpose of his visit to Turkey was to create the circumstances that will make possible future "historical steps in Greek-Turkish relations."
Turkey wishes to develop its relations with Greece in all aspects, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a joint press conference.
"In our bilateral relations with Turkey there are at times some issues we do not wish to have, but we had the opportunity to overcome these," Erdogan said, and cited as example the commercial and economic relations between the two countries "that are at a much lower point than our goal."
The Turkish president expressed the certainty that all issues between the two countries could be resolved on a just basis, and stressed the importance of keeping communication channels open. "We have expanded every effort to improve the situation of Turkish citizens of Greek descent and expect Greece to adopt the same approach," he said among others.
Commenting on the Cyprus issue, Erdogan said that "the equality before the law of Turks on Cyprus is an important factor," and noted that before Greece and Turkey start talks "they must set out a road map – we must first of all create a relationship of mutual trust."
Speaking of the migration issue, he said Turkey has had to shoulder "an unbearable burden," with the country currently housing 4 million refugees and having spent nearly 35 million dollars. "On the issue of readmission and the migration issue, Turkey has fulfilled its promises," the Turkish leader said, "as it has the obligations ensuing from the March 18 (EU-Turkey) agreement. We hope the EU keeps its obligations also."
The Turkish president then referred to the issue of terrorism and said both countries have experienced it and should formulate a joint plan to deal with it, including the PKK and the FETO movement which Turkey considered terrorist organisations. Speaking of the eight Turkish officers who requested asylum in Greece after an unsuccessful coup in July 2016, Erdogan said that one should respect those who lost their lives in the event. "We also expect Greece to respect this and to treat the fugitive [officers] accordingly, instead of harboring them."
In addition, he said that in terms of Greece, Turkey "will agree on all levels to have an open dialogue; in relation to religious minorities especially, we will make inroads, we will assess them and we will jointly find solutions," he said.

Office of the Provost
Office of the Provost
Sometimes students may think there was something problematic about a class, professor, or grade that merits making a complaint about it to the appropriate person. In such cases, the proper course of action is for the student to talk with the professor about his/her concerns. If that does not resolve the situation or if the student is too uncomfortable to talk with the professor, the student should talk with the director of the school. Following the director, any unresolved concerns should be brought to the attention of the college dean.
Students should be mindful that faculty members have the authority to determine the organization of their courses and to set appropriate standards for student work and accountability. Disliking a professor's choices does not automatically merit a grievance. In the event that a class situation is extreme and detrimental to the learning enterprise, however, students have the right to raise their concerns and seek that the problems be addressed.
Students who are found to have violated the Academic Integrity Policy of the institution will likely receive an academic sanction, such as an F for the test assignment, a grade of zero for the test or assignment, or an XF for the course. Definitions of academic misconduct and possible sanctions can be found in the policy or via the Provost's Academic Integrity webpage.
If a student is given a penalty for academic misconduct, he or she has the right to appeal that penalty to the Academic Integrity Appeals Board. The appeal may be launched immediately after receiving it, whether the semester has concluded or not. To file an appeal for an academic misconduct penalty, begin by completing the Academic Integrity Appeals Form and gathering appropriate materials before moving it through the next steps in the process (see form).
Appeals will be heard by a five-person Academic Integrity Appeals Board who will determine if the penalty was appropriately applied or not. If the Board determines that the penalty was given inappropriately, the student's grade will be changed to an Incomplete and he/she will be allowed to re-do the work in question.
Students have a limited time frame to file an appeal. Materials must be submitted to the Office of the Provost within 30 business days of the beginning of the semester subsequent to the one in which the grade was awarded, or 120 calendar days after the issuance of spring semester grades, should the student not be enrolled during the summer term. This process should only be used to appeal penalties for academic misconduct that violates the Academic Integrity Policy of the University.
Students who believe that the grade they have been given in a course was the result of "arbitrary" or "capricious" behavior on the part of the faculty member can appeal their grade to the Grade Review Council. The Council does not hear appeals based on instructor grading that is seen as too harsh or course requirements that are seen as excessive. The Grade Review Council only hears appeals in which the student believes that the faculty member has given grades in a haphazard, illogical, erratic, inconsistent, and/or unpredictable fashion. For example, if an instructor allows students to make up exams for medical excuses but does not allow one student to do so, which impacts his/her grade, the student might consider a grade appeal.
Students who believe their claim meets these criteria should first talk with the instructor to try to resolve the situation. After that, if a student decides to pursue a grade appeal, he or she should follow the instructions on the Provost's Grade Appeal webpage, beginning by signing a log in the Office of the Provost. Students have a limited time frame to file a Grade Review appeal. Upon submitting all required materials, the Grade Review Council will then review them to determine if the case should be heard.
This process should only be used to appeal grades believed to be assigned in an arbitrary or capricious way, not for cases involving academic integrity violations and penalties (see above).

|Holly Hobbie wall hanging quilt.
Sunday, January 12, 2014
It was just a matter of time ... Holly Hobbie
This year a Holly Hobbie fabric line came out, and so of course it was just a matter of time before I made something! I saw and had to have this kit, at the Ironstone Vineyards quilt show in Murphys, CA this past Fall. It reminds me of the Holly Hobbie bedspread, lamp (that my Mom painted), and desk vase that I grew up with. I put one of the line's coordinating fabrics on the back, so this quilt can be used as either a lap quilt or wall hanging. It currently makes its home draped over the back of my reading recliner.

This season saw the likes of Gonzaga, Texas, Texas A&M, Connecticut, Michigan, Charlotte, Washington, and Syracuse ascend on Paradise Island, Bahamas for the 2015 Battle 4 Atlantis. Four of the teams (Gonzaga, Texas A&M, Connecticut, and Michigan) started the season ranked inside the top 25, and looked like the front-runners for the title.
However, it was unranked Syracuse who pushed their record to 6-0 to start the season and came away with the tournament title. They knocked off Connecticut and Texas A&M on back-to-back days to take home the hardware. They should find themselves ranked comfortably inside the top 25 rankings come Monday, November 30th.
On the heels of the Orange winning the tournament, the field was announced for the 2016 edition of the Battle 4 Atlantis. The field will be loaded once again next season, as it is decorated with perennial contenders from power conferences and dominant mid-major programs.
The list of teams heading down to take part in the 2016 Battle 4 Atlantis is a star-studded one from top to bottom. The teams partaking in next year's festivities are: Michigan State, Louisville, Wichita State, Baylor, VCU, St. John's, LSU, and Old Dominion.
A lot of these teams will have new looks to them in comparison to this year's teams. Michigan State will be without star guard Denzel Valentine, Wichita State will be without Ron Baker and Fred Van Vleet and could be without head coach Gregg Marshall, and LSU could be without star freshman Ben Simmons.
Despite the absence of key players from this year's edition of the teams, the tournament will still be a fun one to watch. The Spartans bring in a high-profile recruiting class and will be one of the nation's best teams. Louisville, Baylor, and Wichita State are always top contenders in their respective conferences. Old Dominion has been a tough out the past couple of seasons, and next year will be no different.
The Battle 4 Atlantis tournament attracts some of the nation's top programs, and gives fans some great basketball action. Next season's field will be no exception, as we will get to see great contests from start to finish.

Ssangyong Engineering & Construction (Ssangyong E&C) announced on Sept. 10 that it alone attained a total of 420 billion won (about $380 million) projects comprising 350 billion won in order for Oxley Tower in Malaysia and 70 billion won in order for Andaz Hotel in Dubai.
The 339m Oxley Tower in Malaysia is a three-way complex that will be built in the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre), the center of Kuala Lumpur.
The 79th and 49th floors will be constructed by So Sofitel Hotel, Jumeirah Hotel and Residence, and the 29th floor will be occupied with offices and the seven-floor Podium linking the building will be built.
The Andaz Hotel in Dubai is Ssangyong`s first project to win orders from other customers than the Dubai Investment Authority (ICD).
Located in Dubai's Jumeirah district 1, the hotel is a five-star luxury boutique hotel with a total of 156 guest rooms, and it boasts of unique design and interior.
The hotel's owner, Wasl LLC, is a public corporation that develops and manages property assets of the Dubai government, currently owns and manages 14 hotels and about 25,000 apartments and commercial properties in Dubai alone.
"These projects were not simply bid for a price, but were won by bidding for a comprehensive evaluation of technical proposals, construction performance and technical skills," said a Ssangyong official.

Insider Trading Case May Broaden Push for Auditor Identification
KPMG LLP's resignation as auditor of Herbalife Ltd. and Skechers USA Inc., amid alleged insider trading by one of its senior partners, could renew focus on a flailing effort by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to have individual audit partners sign annual audit opinions with their names.
"This is how it is done in much of the rest of the world," said Lynn E. Turner, former chief accountant at the Securities and Exchange Commission and now managing director of economics and forensic consulting firm LitiNomics. If KPMG's partner had in fact signed the reports for Herbalife and Skechers, it would have potentially made it easier to identify other companies where insider trading might have occurred, he said.

So, I bought me a present, a Guerrilla mini box. It is only 5x7, cute little thing, with all the bells and whistles that make their pochade boxes works of art. I devised a method of getting around 'Victoria' when she least expects it: Chair Painting.
I can sit in my comfy chair and leave "Victoria" over by the easel...she'll never know what I'm up to :)
Of course, my chair is leopard print (also is a recliner), and my red leopard print socks (thanks, Erika!).
Now, if I could just figure out how to have the new pochade box AND the two hairy kids, Beemer and BJ in my lap :)

Three Kiwi films selected for Toronto
The Dark Horse and What We Do In The Shadows will screen in the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival – joining previously announced MÄori action epic The Dead Lands.
Written and directed by James Napier Robertson and produced by Tom Hern, The Dark Horse is an inspiring true story based on the life of little-known New Zealand speed-chess champion Genesis Potini, played by Cliff Curtis (Once Were Warriors, Whale Rider). Curtis and James Rolleston (Boy) – who stars as Genesis' nephew Mana – will be in Toronto with Napier Robertson and Hern for the film's international premiere.
The Dark Horse opened the New Zealand International Film Festival in Auckland and Wellington and is currently on general release nationwide. It has taken over $750,000 in the first 10 days of its New Zealand release. The NZ Herald called it a "great, deeply affecting movie" and one "that is going to leave its mark on local film history."
Rolleston will also be at the Toronto International Film Festival for the world premiere of The Dead Lands, in which he plays Hongi, a MÄori chieftain's teenage son who must avenge his father's murder in order to bring peace and honour to the souls of his loved ones.
What We Do In The Shadows is a vampire mockumentary co-written and directed by Taika Waititi (Eagle vs Shark, Boy) and Jemaine Clement (Eagle vs Shark, Flight of the Conchords) and produced by Waititi, Chelsea Winstanley and Emanuel Michael. Waititi and Clement also star in the film as vampire flatmates Viago and Vladislav.
The film enjoyed success on the international film festival circuit after premiering at Sundance and screening in the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year. It has taken close to $2.5m to date at the New Zealand box office and is in its eighth week of release.
"We are excited to have these three excellent films selected for Toronto," says New Zealand Film Commission Chief Executive Dave Gibson. "The range of genres really showcases New Zealand's broad filmmaking talent – from a vampire mockumentary, to the inspiring true story of a former speed-chess champion and an action epic featuring the ancient martial art of mau rÄkau. This selection of strong features shows how New Zealand film can truly compete on the world stage."
The Dead Lands and The Dark Horse will screen in the festival's opening weekend and What We Do In The Shadows will screen in the closing weekend.
The Dark Horse was written and directed by James Napier Robertson and produced by Tom Hern of Four Knights Film. It was supported by the New Zealand Film Commission, Arama Pictures, Southern Light Films, NZ On Air and the New Zealand Government's Screen Production Incentive Fund with financing by Fulcrum Media Finance. It was released in New Zealand by Transmission Films on 31 July 2014.
What We Do In The Shadows is a vampire mockumentary co-written and directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement. It was produced by Waititi, Chelsea Winstanley and Emanuel Michael and received post production funding from the NZFC. International sales are handled by Wild Bunch.
The Dead Lands was written by Glenn Standring and directed by Toa Fraser, and stars James Rolleston, Lawrence Makoare, Te Kohe Tuhaka, George Henare, Xavier Horan and Rena Owen. An official NZ/UK co-production, it was produced by Matthew Metcalfe and funded by the New Zealand Film Commission, the New Zealand Film Production Fund Trust, Te Mangai Paho, Images and Sound, the UK's Day Tripper Films (backed by Ingenious Media) and Lip Sync Productions. Transmission Films are releasing the film in New Zealand on 30 October 2014. International sales are handled by XYZ Films.

How frequently Do you have to Carry Out an Air con Company?
It truly is tough to give a cover-all determine in relation to air-con assistance intervals. Thanks to modern improvements and electrical power efficiency, some house A/C techniques demand very little a lot more than the usual once-yearly assistance, while dated and inefficient household air con methods can typically desire two as well as 3 services on a yearly basis aire acondicionado tijuana.
All of it arrives all the way down to the way you utilize it. Most air cooling methods are built for schedule use, created for year-round cooling and made to withstand even quite possibly the most rigorous heat wave. It really is not a lot of the limitless operation that leaves several air coolers wanting a service, however the conditions that they are operated in.
Does your dwelling space sense a bit humid? Our summers will not be precisely neat and crisp, and each fall of airborne water is one which can have on down your homes air cooling technique. Suppliers are aware of the maintenance demands faced by people in humid weather zones, suggesting that customers throughout the tropical and subtropical bands support their air conditioners extra typically than individuals in temperate locations.
But it really just isn't just humidity which makes servicing a necessity. Airborne grit and salt could cause troubles for buyers, usually on the issue of rendering dated products worthless and unusable. Air cooling methods can suck in salt and sand, leaving those people situated in close proximity to the beach front using a gritty air filter and questionable dwelling air good quality. It can be unpleasant, probably hazardous for those with overall health issue troubles especially for individuals who are asthmatics, and greatest prevented through common servicing.
Eventually, you will find factors past the environmental for retaining your air-conditioner preserved and often serviced. Performance specialists have discovered that unserviced or not frequently managed air cooling programs use much more electric power than those people which are routinely preserved, major to better ability charges and also a bigger environmental effect.
Analysis would counsel that they can also be fewer successful at trying to keep your property cool. Worn products has a tendency to perform badly, leaving your properties air source considerably less breathable than it may be. We recommend contacting a professional every time your air-con unit starts to pump out severe or awkward air, nevertheless it is frequently best to stop it solely by pre-emptively servicing your home program.

|Maureen has a plan
He could tell something was wrong even before he returned home. Beckett had sent Maureen a text message on his way to the station house, and at that point, she had immediately answered. It was the same with the message he'd sent 20 minutes later. But after those two contacts, he hadn't heard from her at all. Not a word. He considered that maybe she had dozed off on his sofa, but eventually dismissed that thought. She had been much too ill at ease to relax in such a manner. And though it was possible she had just missed hearing the notifications of four incoming messages, or the three calls that went to voicemail, it was highly unlikely. She had access to that iphone every waking minute, going as far as to keep it on her nightstand when she went to sleep. He very much doubted that she had placed it anywhere out of hearing distance, unless on purpose.
When he finally made it back to the house on Maple Avenue, he called out to her as he unlocked the front door, only to have silence answer him back. He walked through the parlor into the kitchen, and noticed a small piece of paper lying on the granite counter top, a fridge magnet next to it. Quickly reading through the note from Helen Burke, his housekeeper, he swore under his breath. The kitchen door to the basement was open, as well as the one to the Red Room, and he knew in that instant, what had transpired.
It was a quarter to midnight when the last movie ended. She wandered out to the lobby, and found herself one of a handful of people still in the theater. The teenage staff was scurrying about, working quickly to close up, and be on their way. Although she was bleary eyed from sitting in the dark, and staring at a lit screen for near seven hours, the closing of the place left her with nowhere else to go. She had seen a pub a few blocks away on her bus trip over, but the idea of walking into the place unescorted, this late on a Saturday night, made her nervous. She was out of options, and determined that going back to her flat was probably the sanest plan. If she were lucky, Ted had tired of waiting for her to return, and had gone back home. Once he figured out how she had snooped in his personal affairs, he probably had no intention of ever seeing her again. The thought made her eyes sting, but this very minute, her focus needed to be on the task of getting safely home.
She pushed through the glass doors of the movie theater, and into the frigid cold. The temperature had dropped several degrees since earlier that evening, and she shivered, both from cold, and the fear of being alone. Walking down to the bus stop, she was careful to stand under the round beam of light thrown from the street lamp. There were only a few cars left in the parking lot, and only a small mix of people exiting from the same doors she had just come from. Most of them never gave her a second glance, except for the two men, both in their late twenties, who came strolling toward her, hands in their pockets, and caps pulled low over their brows. They stood behind her for a few seconds, just watching, until the taller of the two moved forward and spoke to her.
"Give you a lift, sweetheart?"
Maureen shifted from one foot to another, working hard at appearing calm. "Um...no thank you. I'm waiting for my...um...my boyfriend to bring the car around."
His buddy moved closer, and stood on the other side of Maureen, squeezing her between his friend and himself. "Gee...and here we thought you was waiting for the bus. You look real cold. Maybe we can keep you warm until your boyfriend gets here."
Her heart caught in her throat, and she frantically tried to remember any of what Ted had tried to teach her about escaping. Before she could formulate a single thought, a low voice came out of the dark from behind the three of them.
"Is there a problem here, gentlemen?" The light caught the left side of his face, and he looked pissed. Very pissed.
The buddy grabbed her arm, and pulled her closer. "Beat it, pal. We got it covered."
Ted pulled back his jacket, letting the ray of light from the street lamp hit the shield at his waist, and the huge Glock in its shoulder holster. "I disagree." He practically growled the words, and took a step closer to where the three of them stood.
The tall man stepped back, putting his hands in the air in a show of surrender. "We're not looking for any trouble, Officer. Just thought we'd help the lady out."
Beckett stared at the tall guy's friend, watching as he took his hand off Maureen's arm. "Yeah...well, looks like I've got that covered now. " He reached forward, and pulled Maureen next to him, none too gently. "Move along. Party's over."
The pair shuffled away, muttering under their breath. Ted abruptly turned, his hand wrapping her wrist, and pulled her around the corner of the building, to where the Mustang was parked.
"Look...I didn't..."
"Just get in the damn car, Maureen." Not wanting to face him, she moved toward the back seat, but he quickly stepped in front of her, and motioned to the front. "I don't want to have to talk to the rear view mirror."
She slid into the front seat with a loud "tisk" of annoyance, an act of false bravado on her part. Her nose was running from the cold, and her heart was still beating hard from the scene in front of theater. She tried not to think of what might have happened if he hadn't shown up, and worried about what she'd say now that he had.
Beckett's plan had been to speak calmly and plainly, like a rational human being. But there was something about the tiny red head that got under his skin, and caused his control to falter. She seemed so small sitting there, her body pushed up against the passenger door, skin paler than than the snow swirling outside the car, her eyes round pools of emerald green. He wanted to pull her into his arms and comfort her. Tell her it would be okay. That they'd work it out. But his pride wouldn't allow it. She had run out on him. Just like the other. Without a word of explanation. Without a chance to talk things over. He started the engine, and spoke. "Just what the hell did you think you were doing?"
"I...was waiting for the bus. I would've been fine too, if those two assholes hadn't started hassling me."
"You would've been waiting for that damn bus until tomorrow morning, because the last run is at 10:00 PM, and it's almost 1:00 AM now. Didn't you bother to check the sign at the stop?"
Embarrassed, because she hadn't actually bothered to check, and being as inherently stubborn as he was, she refused to acknowledge the fact that he had probably just saved her sorry ass from God knows what. With her chin stuck out in defiance, she answered. "I didn't think to look. I was too busy... trying to run from my ex-boyfriend...the liar." She thought she saw him flinch, but then, maybe it was wishful thinking. "How did you find me, anyway?"
He grunted, obviously a sign of his dismissal at her subterfuge. "It wasn't all that hard. Followed your footprints in the snow right out the front door, and down the street to the bus stop. They stopped there, so I guessed that you had gotten on the bus. I followed the route, checking in at the only businesses still open along it. The movie theater made the most sense, as it was opened the latest. I showed your photo to the ticket seller, and he said he recalled seeing you, but didn't remember what movie you were seeing. Damned if I was gonna stumble around in the dark trying to find you. I figure you'd have to come out eventually, so I sat in the lobby and waited."
The idea that he might have been there the whole time, made her both uneasy, and pleased, at the same time. "How long were you there?"
"Long enough to be thoroughly aggravated."
They drove in silence, until when, at a stoplight, he turned to her, stone faced and asked, "In what way am I a liar? If anything, I'm guilty only of the sin of omission."
"Omission? Is that what you think that was? Gimme a break! You should have told me you were some kind of freak...before we got involved." This time she was sure she saw a reaction in his poker face, but somehow, it didn't make her feel victorious. Just sad. She wanted him to rail, to swear, to explain about the paintings, to tell her she was special to him. He did none of those things. Instead, he drove on, eyes on the road, his lips a tight line across his face, and a furrow between his brows.
Nothing more was said. He pulled the car up in front of the deli, and putting it park, they sat in strained silence for what seemed like an eternity, but in reality, was only a minute or two. He spoke first, his face masked and cold. "I guess this is good bye then."
She could only nod, her throat too tight to push any words out. She opened the car door, stopped a moment to say something, and then changed her mind. From the car, he watched until she was safely inside the building, and then drove off. She made it all the way to the top of the stairs before the tears came in great, heaving sobs.
And so it went for nearly two weeks. Both of them miserable, distracted, and short tempered.
At the station house, everyone worked at keeping safely out of the Sheriff's way. He snapped at his deputies, made the secretary cry, and fired a guy on the maintenance staff. No one in his work circle felt they knew Beckett well enough to ask what was wrong, and no one was willing to risk speaking to him. He kept the door closed, came and went without a greeting of any kind, and when it was necessary to ask him a question, the answer came in terse mono-syllables.
The housekeeper received a snotty lecture about leaving information such as that on the fridge, and the ensuing argument between them almost cost him her services. But Helen knew him better than anyone in town, was responsible, trustworthy, and loyal, and so he was required to pull in his claws, and apologize for his nasty attitude.
Things were no better across town at Schiller's deli, or the apartment above it. Maureen walked around with constant puffy eyes and a red nose, and had taken to sleeping with Betsy, Basil and an old dress shirt Beckett had left in her bathroom. She had almost called him a dozen times. Thought about sending a text message. Considered a greeting card. But none of these ideas came to any fruition. Hallmark just didn't make a card that expressed one's ambivalent feelings towards a kinky ex-lover. Fact was, Maureen wasn't even sure how she felt about any of what had happened.
She had, in all truth, snooped. Seeing the note on the fridge might have been an accident, but her picking the lock on the door was a conscious decision to invade his privacy. Then, she had left without even talking to him about her issues. Never gave him the opportunity to explain, or deny. And until that moment in the basement, she had always found him to be honest to a fault. Almost blunt in his answers to her questions.
Of course, it was pretty hard to deny what she had seen with her own eyes. It wasn't as if she were ridiculously naive, or hadn't heard of any of that stuff before. Her old room mate in Boston had been into the alternative life style scene, and she had seemed normal enough, except for the fact she claimed to enjoy being spanked. But what wasn't normal, was having naked paintings of your former lovers on display. Paintings that revealed a whole freaky side of yourself. If she was sure of anything, it was that there was no way she was going to become Tied Up, Naked Lady #7, hanging on the wall in that wretched room.
She spent her days going through the motions of her routine with a heavy sense of sadness, and those closest to her noticed the change. Kevin had tried to be supportive, visiting her in the evening, and inviting her to dinner several times over the two weeks. Maureen had confessed early on that she and Beckett were no longer a couple, but gave no information as to why that was. Her brother politely avoiding prying, but she sensed that he was less than heartbroken over the turn of events.
Her long face, and quiet behavior, so different from the norm, was also noticed by the astute Mrs. Schiller. She was the first one to bring up Beckett's name as they restocked the shelves in the small deli, asking about his whereabouts, and commenting how it had been awhile since he'd been in the store.
The last thing she wanted to do was discuss the loss of Ted, but the woman was relentless. After much prodding, she finally explained how they had broken up, leaving out any of the essential parts about the room in the basement.
The old woman nodded her head in sympathy. "You poor dear. That's such a shame. You made a real cute couple. But don't be hard on yourself, sweetie. That man's gonna be hard to pin down. So charming and handsome, that one. Sampled half the women in this town. He's gonna hold out as long as he can, and it's gonna take one hell of a woman to snap him up." She gave the girl a small pat on the back, and went back to her work.
Instead of being consoled by her boss's words, Maureen was insulted. Why didn't the woman think she could be the one to "snap him up"? It was obvious that Ted found her attractive. No doubt there. None at all. Hell, he couldn't seem to keep his hands off her. In addition, she was fun to be with. He said so himself. Smart too. Needing to defend her reputation as a desirable female, she continued the conversation. "It wasn't like that, Mrs. Schiller. I broke it off with him. We just had totally different personalities. I wish it would've worked out, but it didn't."
From behind a stack of fresh produce, the elderly woman nodded, a polite smile of non belief on her face, as she stacked the heads of lettuce in a neat pyramid pile. When she thought more about it, Maureen couldn't say for sure who dumped who. Maybe it was a mutual decision? Or maybe she had taken Ted's "goodbye" the wrong way? What was clear in her mind, was the fact that she had run like a scared rabbit. Just like Boston. Gave up, and went down without a fight.
Ted made her happy, and it was clear she miserable without him. So why couldn't she change her own fate, and Beckett's as well? No reason at all. And amid the the ripe tomatoes, and fresh green beans, Maureen O'Kenny came up with a plan.
It was close to 5:00 PM, and the Sheriff was on his way out. It was another long day, with too much paper work, and too little action to free his mind. He desired only to escape the confines of the station house without the need for communication, so the appearance of his secretary at his door was more than a little annoying.
Hesitantly, the woman stood in the doorway, a yellow slip in her hand. "Sheriff...this just came in over dispatch. It's a B and E with assault."
"I'm on my way out, Grace. Already out of uniform, with plans for the evening. Turn it over to Sykes."
Grace looked nervous, and wrung her hands before continuing. "I think you'll want to take this one yourself, Sir. It's Miss O'Kenney."
Beckett felt his chest constrict. Maureen? Damn it! He grabbed the slip from the woman. "How long ago did this come in, Grace?"
"Two minutes, Sir. I came to find you right away."
He nodded his thanks, and raced out to his patrol car. With sirens blaring, and speeding all the way, his brain would only allow for worst case scenerios. He swore under his breath at the thought that he hadn't changed the locks on her doors like he had planned, that he hadn't pushed her training harder, and that he was to blame for any injuries she had sustained. Thoughts of Marzano and Cassie hit him like a mallet to his head, and he increased his speed, wondering if he should have called for an ambulance to meet him there.
Beckett slammed the car into the curb in front of the old building. All was quiet in the store, and he took the stairs to her apartment two at a time, calling to her as he did so. "Maureen! You up there, babe? Say something, hon!"
"I'm here."
|Beckett comes to the rescue...again
She stood in the kitchen area, leaning against the sink, and looking...well terrific. "Maureen, are you alright?" Overwhelmed with relief that she appeared perfectly fine, it took a second or so for him to realize that so did the apartment. Not a thing in the room was out of order, not a hair on her head was out of place. Realization of what was going on hit him squarely in the face. Incredulously, he could only stare and ask, "You called in a false report?"
Maureen hesitantly shook her head yes, not sure yet as to how he would react.
Blinking, the anger in his blues eyes readily apparent, he ran a hand through his hair, and then pulled her away from the sink. "Damn it, Maureen. What the hell would make you do something this stupid? Do you realize that calling in a false report is against the law? Not to mention how worried I'd be on the way over here? What a shitty, underhanded thing to do!"
Her lower lip trembled, and he almost weakened. But then he saw her stick out her chin, and narrow her eyes, and he pulled up his guard.
"I didn't totally lie, you know." She stuck her hands on her hips to further prove her stand. "Theft and assault did take place here."
"Oh, really? You're gonna have to explain that one, darlin', 'cause from where I'm standing, you appear to be nothing more than a conniving, little brat. One who most decisively broke the law."
He could see her sway a bit, and he thought maybe she was ready for the tears. But instead, she pulled back her shoulders and stuck out her lip in a full pout. Beckett admired the fire in her. There was no doubt she looked incredibly sexy. Deliciously, and wonderfully so. But there was no damn way he was going to let her top him. Not now. Not ever. He crossed his arms, and stared right back at her. "Go ahead. Let's hear it."
The first few words came out in a stutter, but there was no backing down. "You're the thief, Ted Beckett. It was you. You stole my heart, and then you broke it."
It was so not what he was expecting, that for a second, he was at a loss for words. Then, she stuck out her wrists in front of him, all pale, creamy skin, her pulse jumping at the vein.
"That's the way I feel, Beckett. I trusted you with my heart, and you trampled on it. So if you want to arrest me for something that's entirely your fault, then you go right ahead."
She should have thought twice about offering up her wrists, knowing what she did about Beckett's darker side But caught up in her plan to try and "fix" things, she wasn't thinking clearly, and when he smiled at her, she was far too busy congratulating herself to worry.
With his right foot, he kicked the chair away from the table, and grabbing her wrists, pulled her closer. She held her breath, losing herself in his eyes, and waiting for him to kiss her. When, instead, he ran his hands up her arms, and gently pushed her into the chair, she was a bit confused, but certainly not concerned. In fact, it wasn't until he pulled her wrists behind her, and she felt the cold metal, and heard the snap of the lock, that a wedge of anxiety set in. Tugging her arms, she was shocked to find herself snuggly handcuffed to her kitchen chair.
"What the hell are you doing, Ted? You let me go right this minute!" She wiggled her hands, trying to pull them away from the back of the chair, and slamming them against the wooden slats.
His response to her fussing was to pick her up, chair and all, and place it smack in the center of the apartment. He set her down, and she immediately lifted her legs to try and kick him, but he anticipated her move, and caught her ankles between his hands.
"Don't you dare try to kick me. Stop it right now, or I'll zip tie your ankles as well."
In frustration, she slammed her feet on the floor, and screeched her anger. "You undo me right now, Beckett! Who do you think you are? I'm not one of your damn"tie-up" women."
"And just what exactly are you to me, Maureen O'Kenney?" He leaned down, hands on her thighs, his eyes looking into hers.
Embarrassed, confused, and flushed, she had nothing to say, and looked at the floor instead.
"That's what I thought." He sighed, and stood upright. "I think I'll give you some time to think about what it is you really want... and myself time to figure out why I shouldn't just drag your pretty, little ass off to jail."
The sun had set, and the room was growing gloomy in the dark. He turned on the small lamp on the bureau, and without any other fanfare, made his way down the stairs. He could hear her yelling and banging all the way down.
"Damn it, Beckett. You kinky bastard! Let me go, or else! When I get free, I'm going to kick your freaky ass. You come back here right now. You can't leave me like this!"
He chuckled at the bottom of the stairs, and locked the door behind him.

By Alex Taylor, Art Director at Backelite
Our heads are still spinning with excitement after our trip to London last month to attend the D&AD festival! We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere in and around the Old Truman Brewery situated in Brick Lane on the east side of town: the artisanal coffee, English craft beers, and delicious food trucks were bonuses to the wonderful works on display which were submitted to the annual competition in hopes of garnering the coveted Pencil awards. The submitted creative works spanned all mediums: advertising, video, branding, packaging, product design, book design, retail design — you name it!
After admiring these works and listening to all of the talented speakers share their experiences, here are a few of the inspiring trends which we plan to keep in mind here at Backelite:
– Design for good
– React to what's going on in the world
– Access all channels
Design for good
As modern consumers who rely more and more on technology, we're looking to our favorite brands for ways to optimise our daily lives: smart watches, connected homes, augmented reality, and so on. The potential which is promised by cutting-edge technology is hugely exciting, but brands must be careful not to lose sight of what matters most: the humans for which these solutions are created.
Recently named the 5th most innovative company in their sector by FastCo, Swedish agency Forsman & Bodenfors reminded us to approach these solutions with empathy. They feel that marketers need to talk less about tech buzzwords like Big Data, AR, and AI, and talk more about producing solutions for humans. This isn't to say that brands shouldn't use these bits of technology; it just means that they should be careful about the narrative and how they talk to the consumer. At the end of the day, those brands which end up being permanently integrated into consumers' lives are the ones who strive to improve humanity or to optimise our performance, or to drive equality. In other words, it's those brands who leverage what they're doing more than how they're technically doing it which succeed.
Two brilliant examples of designing for good in ways which use technology but with a human approach were presented by Grey CCO Caroline Pay:
The Wayback is a 360° virtual reality film series created for those suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia, as well as their caretakers. The short films are meant to transport the elderly patients back to earlier times in hopes of jolting their memories so that they may remember and find themselves again, even if only for a short while. The results are unarguably extremely touching.
Agency: Grey London / Client: The Wayback
The Swear Jar project uses a mobile app and Google's voice recognition technology which donates 20 cents to a charity each time it hears you swear. This simple idea was so successful that it managed to raise £73.3 million (83 million euros)!
Agency: Grey London / Client: Comic Relief & Red Nose Day
React to what's going on in the world
It's not a new concept but it's certainly being more fully embraced these days: Brands are realising that it's no longer enough to just offer services and products for the sole purpose of consumption. Their approaches have become more proactive than that as they recognise that they have the opportunity to speak up rather than sitting on the sidelines of society. And why shouldn't they? A brand, after all, is often described as a company's personification, so it only makes sense that it too could have its own convictions and opinions. At D&AD, we came across a plethora of opinionated brands reacting to the hot issues in today's fractured society, including climate change, diversity and equality, globalisation, and war. Sometimes we saw campaigns attempting to move the proverbial moral compass, and other times we saw brands simply encouraging action from consumers without the brands themselves taking a stand on an issue.
Using technology to address the systemic problem of bullying, Leo Burnett created a tool to make adolescents aware of the weight which their words carry. Created in collaboration with Headspace, an Australian youth mental health foundation, Reword aims to tackle the problem in the digital sphere where so much of today's bullying occurs. As they type messages on social media, the tool visually identifies insulting or harsh language in real time based on algorithms. Introducing the tool to young Internet users proactively instills socially responsible behaviour before bad habits form naturally.
Agency: Leo Burnett Australia / Client: Headspace
As part of its 2016 year-end efforts, Spotify decided to make a statement without taking a side. Following a year of social and political ups and downs, their copywriters showed the company's human side by offering words of compassion.
By: Spotify / Campaign: "Thanks 2016, it's been weird"
Access all channels
It's no secret that as consumers, we are bombarded with endless amounts of information and advertising which are jockeying for even just a few seconds of our attention. In order to cut through the constant noise, marketers are having to get even more creative with how they deliver messages. Thinking outside the box sometimes means rejecting traditional media channels or better yet, redefining them.
The infamous Burger King television campaign which pirated consumers' Google Home speakers using voice command was a game changer — the latest example of marketers truly entering consumers' living rooms, as the New York Times stated. Going beyond the standard use of radio or television really enabled the brand to go viral. All it took was some rebellious thinking and a 15-second commercial asking "OK Google, what is the Whopper burger?" Have a look!

Adam & Eve DDB creative director Ben Priest in his talk presented Front Row, a collaborative effort between Manchester United and Google. Diehard Manchester United supporters from around the globe who might never have the chance to see their favorite team play in person were given the opportunity to watch a match from the best seats in the stadium: Using Google+ Hangouts, the fans' webcam feeds were broadcast onto the digital advertising hoardings surrounding the field which had never been done before. Replacing sponsors' logos with ecstatic far-off supporters created a sense of unity with those actually at the match in an innovative way which perfectly combined technology and human emotion.

Note: These trends were inspired by D&AD's Creative Excellence Themes and Opportunities report which is free to download for all D&AD members.

1999aq taken by A. V. Filippenko and W. D. Li (University of
California at Berkeley) on Mar. 9 with the Keck II telescope shows
that the supernova is of type Ia at a redshift of roughly 0.05,
observed approximately 1 month past maximum brightness. SN 1999ar
is confirmed to be a type-Ia event, observed near maximum
brightness, at a redshift of 0.15 based on a spectrum (range
320-890 nm; total exposure 4500 s) obtained by B. Schmidt (Mount
Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories) on Mar. 10.6 with the ANU

After years of deliberate neglect, the Justice Department is finally beginning to enforce the federal law requiring states to provide voter registration at welfare and food stamp offices. The effort not only promises to bring hundreds of thousands of hard-to-reach voters into the electorate, but it could also reduce the impact of advocacy organizations whose role in registering voters caused such a furor in 2008.
The National Voter Registration Act of 1993, better known as the motor-voter law, is well-known for making it possible to register to vote at state motor vehicle offices. However, the law also required states to allow registration at offices that administer food stamps, welfare,
In part, that was because of additional paperwork at those offices, but in many states, Republican officials did not want to provide easy entry to the voting rolls for low-income people whom they considered more likely to vote Democratic. The Bush administration devoted its attention to seeking out tiny examples of voter fraud and purging people from the rolls in swing states. It did little to enforce the motor-voter law despite years of complaints from civic groups and Democratic lawmakers.
In April, however,
The administration will undoubtedly be accused of acting in a self-serving political way by making it easier for more Democrats to vote. The effort may have that effect. But it is worth remembering that the
But the best reason to applaud the Justice Department's new posture is that it will bring more voters into public life. When advocacy groups sued Ohio and Missouri to force their public assistance offices into complying, huge groups of new voters surged onto the rolls — more than 100,000 in
