WASHINGTON - Republican Jeb Bush and Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton are asking donors to write the checks to get their campaigns started. Yet these "new" candidates have been fueling their presidential ambitions for months - years, in Clinton's case - thanks to outside groups that will continue serving as big-money bank accounts throughout the race.
In the 2016 presidential field, creative financing abounds.
While donors can give a maximum $2,700 apiece per election to their favorite candidate's campaign, the presidential contenders offer generous supporters plenty of other options. Outside groups that can accept checks of unlimited size include personalized super PACs that, while barred from directly coordinating with candidates, are often filled with their trusted friends. There are also "dark money" nonprofit policy groups that keep contributors' names secret.
Super PACs working exclusively to help individual presidential candidates appeared on the scene in the last race, with Restore Our Future supporting Republican nominee Mitt Romney and Priorities USA boosting President Barack Obama. One 2012 super PAC, funded almost entirely by Las Vegas casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, kept Newt Gingrich afloat in the Republican nomination contest by spending millions of dollars on television ads promoting him and attacking other candidates.
This time, the influence of those kinds of groups will increase "by a huge factor," said Spencer Zwick, the chief fundraiser for Romney.
"Super PACs in 2012 were still not talked about by the campaign apparatus," he said. Not so in 2016. "You literally have the same leadership group that's running a super PAC that will then run the campaign, or vice versa."
Federal Election Commission Chairwoman Ann Ravel called it a Wild West atmosphere, fostered by the 2010 Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case that empowered outside groups to take in and spend unlimited sums. She argues this system is insufficiently policed by her politically deadlocked agency.
The campaign finance watchdog group Democracy 21 has filed complaints against many of the candidates working with super PACs. Its president, Fred Wertheimer, sees "all sorts of edgy, and I would say illegal, coordination going on."
Others see no cause for alarm. "What could be more American?" asked David Keating, director of the Center for Competitive Politics, which advocates for an end to campaign contribution limits. "More money means more speech. It ensures a robust debate about the future of our country and keeps people interested and involved."
The cash flood has already resulted in more than $1 million in negative ads, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, in an election still more than 500 days away. This presidential race, with the most aggressive use yet of outside groups, is on track to cost more than the $2.6 billion tab for the 2012 presidential contest.
Bush's kickoff this week has come with pleas to help fill his empty campaign coffers. But the Republican former Florida governor has already spent six months raising money for Right to Rise, a super PAC that will help him compete by spending tens of millions of dollars on television ads.
Until he became a declared presidential candidate, Bush was free to fundraise for Right to Rise, and he did so with vigor. He told the group's top donors in April they had helped raise more money in the previous 100 days than any Republican operation in modern times. Bush will now distance himself from the super PAC, leaving it in the hands of his longtime consultant, Mike Murphy.
"I'm going to miss him," Bush recently said about Murphy. "But from here on out, I'm not going to be talking to him."
Supporters can also contribute to Bush's separate nonprofit group called Right to Rise Policy Solutions. Such "dark-money" groups - so called because they don't reveal donors - are limited in how much election work they can do. GOP presidential candidates Rick Perry and Rick Santorum and possible candidates Bobby Jindal and John Kasich are each linked to a nonprofit.
Clinton, who became a candidate in April and is dominating the small Democratic field, is also benefiting from outside helpers. Fundraising emails last week encouraged supporters to become "launch donors" before the Saturday speech in New York City that was the first big rally of her campaign.
There are already 135,000 donors - some dating back two years - who might consider themselves her founding backers. They gave to a super PAC called Ready for Hillary, which was formed by aides in January 2013 to encourage the former first lady and secretary of state to run for president.
Clinton's campaign recently obtained the super PAC's donor list, and information on almost 4 million people who signed up with it, by swapping the information with other groups backing her.
One of those, Correct the Record, is blazing an entirely new trail - and one that some election watchdogs say is questionable - by planning to coordinate directly with the Clinton campaign. The group says it can avoid pushback from the election commission by not spending any money on paid advertisements and instead just posting its content for free on social media and websites.
Republican rival Ben Carson, a political newcomer, has gone about all this in reverse.
He started with a campaign announcement May 4, then dispatched top strategists to a still-unnamed super PAC. This approach comes with a drawback: Legally, the former campaign aides must wait 120 days before starting work at the super PAC.
"I put the campaign together, and now I'm going to put the super PAC together because I have the big-money contacts," said Terry Giles, who served as Carson's top strategist and will run the super PAC once he can legally do so in September. "I hired all of the campaign people, and I know exactly what their strategy is, so I can very effectively lead the super PAC. It's unorthodox from a political standpoint, but it is not at all unorthodox from a business standpoint."

In late April, Jessica King, presented a summary of much of her CSTAR research simulating severe and non-severe high shear, low CAPE convective events. The presentation focused on the examination of the rapid destabilization that occurs in the few hours leading up to severe convection in the simulated events and the mechanisms responsible for the rapid changes in CAPE. Links to the PowerPoint slides and the recorded webinar are available at the bottom of the post. Some notes from the presentation are shared below.
Low instability severe thunderstorms are heavily concentrated in the Southeast especially in the Ohio, Tennessee, and Mississippi Valleys. These events tend to occur in the cool season, often in the overnight and early morning hours, and frequently with a convective mode of mini-supercells or QLCSs. The occurrence of severe convection in low instability environments can often be explained by the presence of synoptic scale forcing and mid-latitude cyclones. The research goal was to determine mechanisms by which environmental conditioning occurs in severe and non-severe high shear, low CAPE thunderstorm events.
Simulated Environments
Jessica conducted real-data simulations of high shear, low CAPE events when there was at least a "slight" risk for severe storms and the SfcOA (SPC mesoanalysis) CAPE ≤ 1000 J kg-1 and 0-3 km shear ≥ 18 m s-1. She developed a 3-hour time series analysis for separate points in a 7×7 grid for the three hours prior to severe convection. The 0-1km wind shear showed some discrimination between severe and non-severe events with values higher in severe events, especially at night. The wind shear tended to remain relatively steady over time while the CAPE increased over time.
Calculating Contributions to CAPE
Advection of high theta-e air often leads to an increase in CAPE. A plot of 3-hour change in SBCAPE up to the event time shows a much larger increase in SBCAPE prior to the event for severe events with a smaller increase for non-events. An increase in CAPE can be realized by 1) increasing surface temperature 2) increasing surface moisture or 3) decreasing temperature aloft. The mechanisms for destabilization varied significantly among all environments with significant destabilization occurring in the 3 hours prior to severe events. The change in surface moisture was a positive contribution to increase in CAPE for all cases. Warming near the surface was important in destabilizing all of the severe events as well, and cooling near the surface may be detrimental in the non-severe events. The increase in surface temperature was noted for both daytime and nocturnal cases.
Synoptic Forcing for Ascent
Forcing for ascent can be driven by processes such as warm advection, lifting by a front or boundary, and cyclonic vorticity advection aloft. These processes can lead to the release of potential instability. The release of potential instability through layer lifting occurred prominently in 4 of the simulated severe events. In these 4 cases, the 3km vertical velocity increases significantly and the 0-3km lapse rate became less negative in the hour before the severe event as the synoptic forcing approaches.
The SHERBS1 and to a lesser extent the SHERBS3 were discriminators between the severe and non-severe events. The skill of the SHERBS1 was likely a result of the 0-1km shear serving as a good differentiator. Work is underway to modify the SHERB parameters to perhaps include a term to account for the release of potential instability.
Future Work and Looking Ahead
• Investigate larger scale observations and climatologies to identify recurring synoptic-to-mesoscale patterns in cool season, low instability events in the Southeast.
• Examine the vertical distribution of CAPE.
• The recognition of patterns in high-resolution model data and observations that indicate a low CAPE environment has the potential to evolve into a severe-weather producing environment.
• The availability of datasets and tools to examine data in the highest temporal resolution possible is critical. In many events, some of the higher resolution data doesn't show a supportive environment 3 hours in advance of the event but a rapid change in low-level moisture or temperature can occur just ahead of the line that provides the needed buoyancy. Sub-hourly time scales or other perspective may provide an opportunity to anticipate these events.
• There may be an R2O pathway with the near-storm situational awareness environment tool that is under development which provides a means for detailed monitoring of the environment.
• There was also an interest in requesting the SPC produce some 1 or 2 hour change fields for surface temperature and moisture.
• PowerPoint slide deck
• Video recording of webinar

For all electrical work in the commercial enterprises, ranging from wiring issues to switchboard problems, it is always important to find licensed, certified and reputable commercial electricians Perth has today. And it is important to do that early before the problem festers. A serious electrical fault will affect not just your business and life but numerous other businesses and lives in your location resulting in millions of dollars in losses and potentially, loss in life.
For safety issues, it is important that all electrical work is carried out by a licensed electrician or electrical contractor. Commercial electrical repairs work that is not licensed is not just illegal but also commercially unsafe.
Services Provided by Commercial Electricians in Perth
Commercial electricians in Perth work with all the electrical components, fixtures and installations in the commercial premises. Some of the main electrical services which they provide include the following:
Electrical rewiring services: Once in a while, your commercial premises may need rewiring. This can either be a full rewiring or partial rewiring. The electrical power points as well as circuits may also need to be replaced once in a while. This is especially needed in the older buildings as well as properties, particularly those which are were wired poorly when they were being constructed.
Electrical repairs: The electrical outlets and fixtures in your commercial premises may need to be repaired from time due to some kind of faults. You can contract licensed electricians to assist you with the various kinds of repairs such as repairing of broken wiring or replacement of the power points.
Safety switches: These installations will protect you as well as your family from the power surges, any damaged wiring or even faulty appliances. If broken or damaged, they need to be replaced.
Lighting fixtures: Licensed commercial electricians in Perth can assist you with the repairs and installations of lighting fixtures in your premises.
Wiring of a new building: If you are expanding your commercial enterprises, then you will need a licensed construction electrician to carry out the wiring along with the installation of all the electrical outlets as well as elements.
Power points: It is a legislated required requirement that only licensed commercial electricians in Perth can carry out repairs and replacement of the electrical power points. They can carry out expert analysis on the number of power points that you will need in your commercial enterprises.
Switchboards: These are the nerve centre of the electrical power distribution in your premises. They offer protection from electrocution and isolate faulty appliances and wiring in order to ensure maximum protection. Damaged or faulty switchboards must be repaired or replaced immediately by a professional commercial electrician in Perth.
Renovations: Electricians are also required during commercial property renovations in Perth. They must be consulted on the various electrical aspects of the house renovation such as how many power points to install, lighting, wiring etc.
Backup generators: If the backup generators or the UPS systems in your commercial enterprises are faulty, you will also need to consult a professional commercial electrician in Perth to repair it and put it back to service.
These are some of the main functions provided by the commercial electricians in Perth but there are many other electrical tasks that they can be involved. Check out their service list in order to determine if they offer the kind of service that you are looking for.

Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star's huge new series will take "seven months" to film
8 March 2019, 11:31 | Updated: 8 March 2019, 15:44
"it's like a TV show"
Shane Dawson just dropped a whole load of new information about his upcoming collaborative video series with Jeffree Star, which will be about the new makeup palette they are developing.
The palette - which may have recently had its name revealed - will be the star attraction of the videos, which Shane calls "kind of like a TV show". He shared a lengthy Twitter post in which he revealed some tantalising details about the show.
Shane said:
"Hey guys! Been filming for the last 2 weeks with Jeffree Star and we are pretty much going to be filming with him for the next 7 months because the series involves things that take a while to create. It's the first time me and Andrew have filmed series for more than a week so it's new territory for us but it's been so fun and inspiring for us. I don't know exactly how we are to figure out release dates or anything like that because we are going to be editing while we are also filming so it's all a little overwhelming but i promise it will be worth the wait!
We are thinking of posting it as 2 seasons kind of like a tv show and doing one season in the summer and one in the fall. But who knows! We just wanna make it great! We are also going to be filming a couple other series in between with some people and subjects that I'm really invested in and I think you guys will be excited about those too ;)
Wish us luck! And thanks for supporting us and getting us so excited about making stuff. Your tweets, artwork, and all the memes really do keep us motivated at 3am :,))
see u soon!!!!
Update 👨🏻💻👨🏻💻❤ pic.twitter.com/gv3WJsRi2Y— Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) March 7, 2019
Fans are already hyped
I'm beyond excited for this series 💕😊— Tara Fraser (@Simmy3Tara) March 7, 2019
March 7, 2019
all i needed to read was the "hey guys, been filming for the last 2 weeks which jeffree star" and that's enough for me :))— Anna is my fav ❤❤❤ (@_anna_youtube__) March 7, 2019
So as you can see, a whole load of exciting info about the show! The idea of Shane doing "2 seasons kind of like a tv show" is really cool - and seems to promise a nice healthy amount of content.
However it does look like we may be waiting a while longer before we get to watch any of this - but hey, if we've learned anything from Shane, is that his video series are worth the wait.

Travel is something we all look forward to in some way. Those that don't like being away look forward to being home and the ones that long for something different are dreaming of the adventures to be had.
I think something for a trip is a great present. It beats all that useless plastic under the tree that you will never use. I think I have bought about 5 different travel wallets. The first too big and the heavy. The second not able to hold 4 x passports with ease of access. It's like the story of Goldilocks and the 3 bears? Anyway, I hope you enjoy this list of travel gifts.

Bose Quiet Comfort 35 wireless headphones II
QuietComfort wireless headphones II are engineered with world-class noise cancellation. And now they're even better. With the Google Assistant built in, you can play music, receive texts and get answers without glancing at your phone. They are pricey but if you enjoy music or podcasts, these are the headphones for you. If you are a runner they have alternative versions for running with.
Zflyte scooter/ bag
Every adventure begins with this. I have previously written a review about this product and those needing to get kids through airports, this is for you. They fit in carryon luggage and under chairs. It works as a pull along luggage as well as a scooter.
Luggage set
When it comes to luggage you need what they call spinners. I often push 4 bags whilst my husband manages the kids or carries the car set. Spinners make this possible. I can join tow together in each hand or join them as a train. American Tourister is my chosen brand for ease. Samsung do a similar model and I am sure if you want to invest more you can.
Luggage covers and luggage straps
Luggage covers and luggage straps are not necessary. I do get longer life from my luggage with a cover on it and it is far easier to pick from the conveyor belt if it is slightly different from the next white or black bag. I recommend if you can't cope with a brightly coloured cover, go bright for your strap. You can now get colours that are a personalised photo should you so desire.
American Tourister luggage covers come in pink or cobalt. Samonsite has a cover that fits that comes in black (my preference) Luggage straps can be picked up almost anywhere. Give a good fabric marker for ease of writing the name on the strap in large letters.
Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Mirrorless Digital Camera
If you are going to be using a larger camera, this is the best on the market for a non-professional photographer. Its attractive and compact with a wide range of features.
A Stowable Umbrella
Travellers always forget an umbrella and yet I am yet to take a rain-free trip. I lie, California rarely rains and when we there it was so dusty and dry it was desperate for a good drench. I like Coach or Kate Spade for gifts. Click the name for a link. Not the most exciting pressie but you could add a matching scarf or keyring?
Kiehl's Travel Set
I have sensitive skin and before I moved to Kiehl's was replacing my regime sometimes fortnightly. I love that they recycle all their packaging. All their products are available in travel size – which is especially great if you want to trial something. Even better when you are travelling. I know everyone prattles on about travel size products and who can be bothers. I totally agree but by changing to travel size, I often get at least 5 kilos lighter in my luggage.
Birchbox Subscription
This is amazing. It is so easy. After filling out your profile and your preferences, you will receive five monthly beauty treats, a mix of prestige and niche brands. If you buy full sized versions you will gain loyalty points.
Clearly Filtered Water Bottle
It may seem like a large amount of luggage space but trust me you will not regret it. I took stainless steel water bottles to the Malaysian jungle and my son and I were so comforted by just a degree off the water we were drinking. We visited California a year later and I didn't pack bottles. We spent at least $400 on bottles water. The bubblers were of little value as recycling plastic bottles didn't keep the water cool. We couldn't buy ice. We just had to continuously buy chilled water to cope with the heat. If you are heading to hot countries, this is a great gift.

Here are the winners of the 2018 Summer Employee Photo Contest! As always, we thank everyone who entered photos as well as those who came out to vote on your favorites. We had over 330 entries this summer and over 300 employees came out to vote on their favorites. There are so many talented people in the park and we love being able to showcase a very small slice of that talent.
Summer Photo Contest – Entry Deadline August 5
It would be next to impossible to entertain each of Yellowstone's 4,300 employees with the story of the grizzly you saw cross the Grand Loop Road, or the owl that perched in your camp, but through the Summer Photo Contest you can do just that! After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
This peer-judged event is our way of sharing and showcasing the spectacular images we've caught on film this spring and summer. The contest has five categories: Landscape, Wildlife, Close Up, People, and Thermal Features (new category!). Each contestant may enter one submission per category. Judging will be held August 20, 21 and 22 to coincide with Xanterra Job Fairs.
Submit entries to a location recreation office by 5:00 pm on Monday, August 5 for a chance to win money for a top three placing in each of the five categories.
You do not need to print out your entries. You can enter your photos electronically to the rec offices – via email, thumb drive or transferring straight from your phone. All electronic entries must be formatted to fit on 4″x6″ photo paper or they will be disqualified.

Creek Indian Jay McGirt discusses William McIntosh, son of a Creek woman and a Scotsman, who fought with the Americans during the War of 1812 and was given the rank of general. On February 12, 1825, Chief McIntosh signed a treaty at Indian Springs selling the remaining Creek land in Georgia. A reenactor describes his execution by his own people based on an eyewitness account.
1. Descibe the philosophical differences between white settlers and Creeks when it came to land.
2. Some Creeks fought for their land rather than sell it. Others, like McIntosh, sought to negotiate a peaceful settlement with the U.S. government. Which side would you take? Explain your response.
1. This video presents many examples of Creek values and beliefs. Recall what they have learned about the Creek way of life and list those values and beliefs. Compare Creek beliefs to ones held by Georgians today.
2. As a class, write out your own Treaty with the Creek Indians. How would your class resolve the conflict between the citizens of Georgia and the Creeks so that both could get something they each wanted?
cede: to give up possessions by treaty
commence: to begin or start
compensation: payment for services or goods
dissenting: disagreeing or opposing
emigrate: to leave one's home or country to move to another
encroachment: to gradually take another's property illegally
hostilities: conflicts that may result in war
obligatory: an action that must be performed; a requirement
resolution: a formal statement expressing an opinion or action of an official group
1. Descibe the philisophical differences between the U.S. government and Creeks when it came to land.
The government wanted the ability to buy and sell land to white farmers so they could grow cotton and other profitable crops. The Creeks, who owned millions of acres in Georgia, viewed their land as sacred. In fact, it was against Creek law to sell the land. This is because they believed in a communal life, and land was to be shared within a community.
2. Some Creeks fought for their land rather than sell it. Others, like McIntosh, sought to negotiate a peaceful settlement with the U.S. government. Which side would you take? Explain your response.

Benefits of Summer Employment
As the school year ends once more, many students will start thinking about summer vacation and all the things they can do to fill up those sunny days.
For some this means actual vacation and a fun trip somewhere with family or friends. For others, this could mean activities around the community or a weekend road trip. For many, this means a summer job, and finding that perfect mix of work and fun.
Having a summer job is a great benefit no matter your age. For younger high school students, it's a great way to start earning some extra cash and building some employment experience. For older students closer to graduation, this could be a time to explore future job opportunities and to save some money toward college expenses.
No matter your stage in the game – here are some great benefits to summer employment and the best ways to prepare.
Start early. If you want more than just a summer job, start early and make some connections. You could use your summer work experience as a job shadow or internship in a career field that interests you. Use your summer to experience a day in the life of a potential future career. Talk with your school counselor about local connections, or contact a local business that interests you about summer openings.
Experience. Even if your summer job doesn't end up being in a field or industry that truly holds your passion, any work experience can be meaningful. You're starting to build employment history and you're going to learn about responsibility, time management, teamwork, and maybe even leadership. These are all important skills to develop and will help you when you start looking for work in areas that peak your interest.
Save. Summer jobs are a great opportunity to put some money in the bank for college. You don't need to save every penny, but a good chunk going towards savings can save you a lot when it comes time to look at college tuition, books, or apprenticeship and job training programs. Try and save 30-50% and get a jump start on the future. The more you are able to save, the less you have to take out in student loans and the more options you'll have in planning your future.
Balance. With all that said, be sure and find balance. Because the saying "You're only a kid once" is very true. Don't work all summer long and forget to have fun. Life is all about balance and that's a good skill to learn young. Take a weekend road trip. Go on vacation with your parents. Do a movie night, hang out with your friends, and be a kid while you're gaining some work experience.

Obtaining the best outcome in a divorce is like most things in life that are difficult to attain. Hard work and preparation. The harder and smarter you work, the better chance you have at obtaining a certain goal. The goal in this case is a good outcome in a divorce or family law matter. When you do not work hard or smart on the case, you can have dire consequences. Your attorney needs to work hard and smart for you but you also need to help your attorney by providing the right information. With that in mind and hard work, you have a much better chance at a good outcome than if you do not.

text: In passing the Local Control Funding Formula in 2013, the Legislature shifted decision-making back to local districts and steered more money to districts with higher proportions of low-income children, English learners and foster and homeless children. Proposition 98, adopted in 1988, sets the overall yearly level of K-12 and community college spending through a complex formula tied to the growth in the state economy. The changes in funding were tied to major changes in how districts assess students and are held accountable for their success. Districts must outline how they will spend their funds in a Local Control and Accountability Plan. Whether these reforms succeed in improving student outcomes significantly and narrow historically large achievement gaps is now the core issue and challenge in education reform in California.

Davie Co-Workers Confront 'Wolf in Sheep's Clothing' Ahead of Charges Filed
Bill Wolf values hard work and his close-knit employees at the home improvement company he built from the ground up called Wolf in the Woods.
"We are very close and when we bring somebody in, we treat them like family," Wolf said.
It's why he gathered his employees together recently in the conference room to confront a co-worker about what they'd discovered.
"The one thing I hate is to be lied to," Wolf can be heard saying on the recording he made of the meeting.
He was talking to a man he'd hired just a couple months earlier.
Wolf had been looking for someone to do the bookkeeping for his business.
"Putting invoices in, paying vendors, collecting money from the clients, making sure all the books are up-to-date, payroll, taxes, all that stuff," Wolf explained.
He says a man came in with a good resume, his own clean background check and a Texas driver's license with the name Charles Mosley on it.
Wolf says he asked him to bring in a second piece of identification but hired him before he saw it.
"We hired him, got busy and forgot to get the ID," Wolf said.
Several weeks went by and office manager Jennifer Medina says she got suspicious of some things Mosley was saying and doing so she asked Wolf to run their own background check.
"He told us his name was Charles Mosley but his real name was Robert Mosley," Wolf said about what the background check uncovered. They say a closer look at the provided ID shows that the photo, date of birth and weight had been altered.
They also discovered Mosley had been writing duplicate checks to the same vendor to pay an invoice. They say he would send one to its intended recipient and deposit the other into his own account.
The background check also showed that Mosley is currently facing theft and money laundering charges in Broward County. He's accused of taking more than $125,000 from Fort Lauderdale's Mount Bethel Baptist Church where C.E. Glover is the bishop.
"It really devastated us," he said. "It devastated our ability to really do the kind of work that God has called us to do."
About Mosley, Bishop Glover said, "If he were to use the gifts and abilities God has given him in a productive way, he could be a major asset. He's a brilliant young man, but he's using his mind the wrong way."
Mosley was out on bond after pleading not guilty to the charges when he got the job at Wolf in the Woods.
After finding out about Mosley, Wolf and his employees took what they'd learned so far and gathered in the conference room to confront him about his name and the charges at the church. Mosley denied taking anything from them and from the church.
"The lies, the lies, the lies," Wolf said to Mosley. "My heart likes you so much but I just can't do it, Mo"
"But I haven't taken anything from you," Mosley said.
"You took my f__ing trust," Wolf said.
Soon after, Mosley left the building. Wolf and Medina say he left behind a briefcase.
Inside the briefcase they discovered copies of company checks and deposit receipts.
"His receipt from his bank account showing he deposited these two checks," Medina said. "We called our vendor to see if they were the ones who cashed the check and they, in fact, did not."
Wolf estimates his losses are more than $10,000.
"If we would have given him 30 days, he would have wiped this company out and I would have been broke," Wolf said.
And he questions how the deposits were allowed to be made.
"We never thought a bank would cash a company check to a personal account," he said. "I can't believe Chase Bank didn't throw red flags up over that."
Wolf filed a police report with Davie Police who confirm they are investigating. Mosley is not facing charges connected to Wolf in the Woods.
The police report shows that the deposits were made using mobile banking.
"It appears that he was using a mobile app where you take a photo of the check or deposit it in some other way other than showing an ID and going into the bank," said Sgt. Mark Leone with Davie Police.
He said his department sees many cases of criminals using technology to take money from people.
"As the technology changes, criminals are up on top of that technology," he said "The detectives try to stay up on top of what's going on with the new trends for these crimes that involve technology."
Chase Bank didn't provide answers about why its system didn't catch a check written to a business being deposited into a personal account.
A spokesperson said the bank is investigating what happened, has restricted Mosley's accounts and will pay Wolf back any money he lost.
NBC 6 Investigator Willard Shepard caught up with Mosley and his attorney when they were leaving a recent court hearing on the church theft charges.
Mosley chose not to comment to NBC 6 but his attorney, Michael Weinstein, said, "He has proclaimed his innocence regarding the church situation and he is proclaiming his innocence regarding this."
Before living in South Florida, Mosley faced theft charges in Arizona that were dismissed. An investigative reporter at a Detroit TV station also uncovered that he's been suspected of taking money from churches in Michigan. He was never charged in Michigan in connection to those allegations.

If you do not find an answer to your question below, click here to contact us.
These cases involve Charmin Freshmates Flushable Wipes and any other pre-moistened wipes sold under the Charmin brand name bearing the word "flushable" on the package label (the "Product"). For purposes of settlement only, the Court has certified a Settlement Class. You are a member of the Settlement Class if, between April 6, 2011 and November 26, 2018, you purchased the Product anywhere in the United states, other than in the State of New York. Your purchase cannot have been for purpose of resale.
The Settlement Class excludes (1) Honorable Richard Seeborg, Honorable Sallie Kim (Mag.), Honorable Timothy S. Black, and Robert Meyer, and any member of their immediate families; (2) any government entity; (3) P&G; (4) any entity in which P&G has a controlling interest; (5) any of P&G's subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, and officers, directors, employees, legal representatives, heirs, successors, or assigns; and (6) any persons who timely opt out of the Settlement Class. The Settlement also excludes persons who made their purchases in New York.
If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you will be bound by the settlement and judgment in this case, unless you request to be excluded.
If the Settlement does not become effective (for example, because it is not finally approved, or the approval is reversed on appeal), then this litigation will continue, but only on behalf of purchasers in California. Specifically, a class of people who purchased the Product in California between April 6, 2011 and August 3, 2017 has already been certified by the Court. To be clear, this class is different than the Settlement Class discussed above. It is defined as "all persons who, between April 6, 2011 and August 3, 2017, purchased in California the Charmin Freshmates Flushable Wipes (excluding purchases for purpose of resale)." On this website, this group will be referred to as the California Litigation Class. Members of the California Litigation Class have the same rights as all Settlement Class Members as explained on this website, except that they will remain part of the case even if the Settlement is rejected, as specified in FAQ 12 "Special Notice for Members of the California Litigation Class."
In one lawsuit (Pettit v. Procter & Gamble Company), the Plaintiff asserts that, although the packaging on the Freshmates wipes states that the wipes are "flushable," "septic safe," and "safe for sewer and septic systems," the wipes are not suitable for disposal by flushing down a toilet, are not regarded as flushable by municipal sewage system operators, do not disperse upon flushing, and routinely damage or clog plumbing pipes, septic systems, and sewage lines and pumps. Plaintiff alleges that P&G is liable for: (a) violations of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Cal. Civil Code §1750 et seq., (b) false advertising in violation of California Business and Professions Code §17500 et seq., (c) fraud, deceit and/or misrepresentation, (d) negligent misrepresentation, and (e) unfair, unlawful and deceptive trade practices in violation of California Business and Professions Code §17200 et seq. In the second lawsuit (Ramcharitar v. Procter & Gamble Company), the Plaintiffs make similar allegations regarding the Freshmates wipe and allege that P&G is liable for: (a) breach of express warranty, (b) negligent design, (c) negligent misrepresentation, (d) failure to warn, (e) violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, Florida Statutes §501.201 et seq., (f) unjust enrichment, (g) violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. §2301 et seq., (h) violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, §805 Ill. Comp. Stat. §505 (2007), (i) tortious breach of warranty, and (j) fraud. Plaintiffs seek to pursue their claims on behalf of themselves and others who purchased the Product in the United States, except for purchases in New York.
P&G denies that there is any factual or legal basis for Plaintiffs' allegations. P&G contends that the labeling of the Product was truthful and non-misleading. P&G therefore denies any liability. P&G also denies that Plaintiff or any other members of the Settlement Class have suffered injury or are entitled to monetary or other relief.
The Court has not determined whether Plaintiffs or P&G are correct.
The lawsuits contend that, if P&G had not engaged in the labeling, marketing, and advertising that Plaintiffs challenge, the price of the Product would have been lower. Plaintiffs seek to recover, on behalf of a class of individuals who purchased the Product in the United States (except for purchases made in New York or for resale), the dollar amount of the price "premium" that is attributable to the alleged misrepresentations. Plaintiffs contend that, based on their expert's regression analysis, the premium attributable to the "flushable" representation on the Products averages 9.19% of the purchase price.
P&G denies that there is any legal entitlement to a refund or any other monetary relief.
Plaintiffs' counsel have investigated the manufacture, marketing, labeling, and performance of the Product. P&G has produced more than 112,000 pages of documents for review by Plaintiffs' counsel. In addition, Plaintiffs have taken depositions of three of P&G's employees. The parties also have exchanged written responses to questions posed by the other party. Plaintiffs also obtained documents from third parties, including wastewater treatment professionals and INDA, the trade association for manufacturers of flushable wipes. Plaintiffs also retained three technical experts to evaluate the Product and damages. Two of Plaintiffs' experts have been deposed, and Plaintiffs have deposed one of P&G's experts.
Based on this investigation, Plaintiffs' counsel have determined that there are significant risks of continuing the litigation. In particular, there may be substantial difficulties establishing that: (1) P&G's marketing and advertising of the Product was likely to deceive or confuse reasonable persons about the performance of the Product; (2) the Product is not flushable according to how a reasonable consumer understands that term; (3) a reasonable consumer would find material the alleged effects of flushing the Product on sewer treatment facilities; (4) common questions predominate over individual issues such that a class may be certified on some or all claims for purchases in states outside California; (5) those classes should include persons who did not personally experience plumbing issues (and if it should not include such persons, how the members of the class would be ascertained); and/or (6) damages or restitution should be awarded or, if so, that any such award should be more than nominal. In particular, it may be difficult to establish that the pricing of the Product would have differed had the marketing and labeling been different.
Since the initiation of this litigation, Plaintiffs, through their counsel, and P&G participated in several settlement conferences, including a mediation in Chicago in April 2018. This Settlement was reached following those efforts.
After taking into account the risks and costs of further litigation, Plaintiffs and their counsel believe that the terms and conditions of the Settlement are fair, reasonable, adequate, and equitable, and that the Settlement is in the best interest of the Settlement Class Members.
If you file a Valid Claim, you will receive sixty cents ($0.60) for each package of the Product that you purchased in the United States (except in New York) between April 6, 2011 and November 26, 2018. Your total refund will be limited to $4.20 per Household unless you submit Proof of Purchase, in which case your total refund will be limited to $30 per Household.
"Proof of Purchase" means an itemized sales receipt originally generated by a retail seller showing the date and place of purchase, name of the product purchased, and the amount paid.
To make a claim, you must fill out the Claim Form available on this website. You can submit the Claim Form online, or you can print and mail it to the Claim Administrator at: Pettit v. Procter & Gamble, c/o Claim Administrator, PO Box 58280, Philadelphia, PA 19102-8280. Claim Forms must be submitted online or received, not just postmarked, by February 28, 2019.
To date, Plaintiffs' counsel have not been compensated for any of their work on these cases. Plaintiffs' counsel will present evidence to the Court that they have spent more than 2,500 hours litigating these cases. In addition, Plaintiffs' counsel will present evidence that they have paid out-of-pocket expenses (including deposition transcript fees, court reporter fees, filing fees, service costs, copying costs, and travel expenses) of approximately $270,000. None of these expenses has yet been reimbursed. As part of the Settlement, Plaintiffs' counsel may apply to the Court to award them up to $2,150,000 from P&G to pay their attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses.
In addition, the Class Representatives in this case may apply to the Court for payments of between $1,000 and $5,000 each. These payments are designed to compensate these Plaintiffs for the time, effort, and risks they undertook in pursuing this litigation and for executing a broader release of claims than other Settlement Class Members.
Plaintiffs and their lawyers will file a motion with the Court on or before January 24, 2019 in support of their applications for attorneys' fees, costs and expenses and payments to the Plaintiffs. A copy of that motion will be available on this website.
The Court will determine the amount of fees, costs, expenses, and payments to the Plaintiffs to award.
The Settlement releases all claims by Settlement Class Members against P&G and its affiliates that were or could have been asserted by Plaintiffs in these cases, and that relate to the flushability or the safety for sewer and septic of the Product, or to statements concerning the Product's flushability or safety for sewer and septic. This release includes claims that may not yet be known or suspected. However, there is no release of claims for personal injury or property damage (for example, costs of plumbing repairs) arising out of the use of the Product. There also is no release of claims for purchases in New York. For further information, please see Section 9.2 of the Settlement Agreement.
You can exclude yourself from the Settlement Class if you wish to retain the right to sue P&G separately for the claims released by the Settlement. If you exclude yourself, you cannot file a claim or object to the Settlement. You do not need to exclude yourself if you merely want to retain a right to sue for personal injury or property damage arising out of your use of the Product.
To exclude yourself, you must complete and submit the online form on this website or mail a request to opt out of the Settlement to the Claim Administrator at Pettit v. Procter & Gamble, c/o Claim Administrator, PO Box 58280, Philadelphia, PA 19102-8280. If mailed, the exclusion request must contain your name, address, the words "I wish to be excluded from the Charmin Freshmates Class Action Settlement," and your signature. A copy of the Opt-Out form is available for download on this website.
If submitted online, exclusion requests must be made by February 28, 2019. If mailed, exclusion requests must be received (not postmarked) by February 28, 2019.
You can ask the Court to deny approval of the Settlement by filing an objection. You can't ask the Court to order a larger settlement; the Court can only approve or deny the Settlement. If the Court denies approval to the entire Settlement, no settlement payments will be made, and the lawsuit will continue. If that is what you want to happen, you must object.
You can also ask the Court to disapprove the requested payments to Plaintiffs and to their attorneys. If those payments are disapproved or adjusted, no additional money will be paid to the Settlement Class.
You may also appear at the Final Approval Hearing, either in person or through your own attorney. If you appear through your own attorney, you are responsible for paying that attorney. To appear at the Final Approval hearing, you need to file a written objection to the Settlement or a written request to the Court for permission to appear.
Any objection must include (1) the case name and number Pettit v. Procter & Gamble, Case No. 3:15-cv-02150-RS (N.D. Cal.); (2) your name, address, and telephone number; (3) documents or testimony sufficient to establish that you are a member of the Settlement Class; (4) a detailed statement of your objection(s), including the grounds for those objection(s); (5) a statement as to whether you are requesting the opportunity to appear and be heard at the Final Approval Hearing; (6) the name(s) and address(es) of all lawyers (if any) who (a) are representing you in making the objection, (b) may be entitled to compensation in connection with your objection, and/or (c) will appear on your behalf at the Final Approval Hearing; (7) the name(s) and address(es) of all persons (if any) who will be called to testify in support of your objection; (8) copies of any papers, briefs, or other documents upon which your objection is based if not already in the court file; (9) a detailed list of any other objections you or your counsel have submitted to any class action in any state or federal court in the United States in the previous five years (or affirmatively stating that no such prior objection has been made); and (10) your signature as objector, in addition to the signature of your attorney, if an attorney is representing you with the objection. Failure to include this information and documentation may be grounds for overruling and striking your objection.
All written objections, requests to appear, and supporting papers must clearly identify the case name and number, Pettit v. Procter & Gamble Company, Case No. 3:15-cv-02150-RS (N.D. Cal.). They must be submitted to the Court either by (a) filing them online through the Court's ECF electronic filing system at ecf.cand.uscourts.gov or (b) mailing or personally delivering them to the Clerk, United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. The clerk's office is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Court holidays. If not filed through ECF, then copies of the objections, requests to appear, and supporting papers must also be served on the Claim Administrator or counsel for Plaintiffs and P&G at the addresses shown on the Settlement Website. Documents must be filed online or received, not merely postmarked, on or before February 28, 2019.
The Court will hold a hearing on March 28, 2019 at 1:30 PM to consider whether to approve the Settlement. The hearing will be held in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, Courtroom 3, Floor 17, before the Honorable Richard Seeborg. The hearing is open to the public. However, only persons who have filed an objection or a request to appear at the hearing may actually address the Court. This hearing date may change without further notice to you. Check this website or the Court docket in this case at https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/cm-ecf (perform a case number query using case number 15-cv-02150-RS) for updated information on the hearing date and time.
As noted above, the California Litigation Class is different than the Settlement Class and includes "All persons who, between April 6, 2011 and August 3, 2017, purchased in California the Charmin Freshmates Flushable Wipes (excluding purchases for purpose of resale)." This section provides further information about the rights of the members of the California Litigation Class.
All sections of this website apply to you. You have the right to make a claim under this Settlement, object to the Settlement or exclude yourself, just like other members of the Settlement Class.
If the Settlement is not approved, or if the Effective Date does not occur for any other reason, as further explained in the Settlement Agreement, and you have not excluded yourself from the Settlement, the litigation will continue on your behalf as a member of the California Litigation Class. The Court has already appointed Plaintiff Jamie Pettit and Plaintiffs' Counsel to represent your interests.
If the litigation continues, and a judgment is obtained against the California Litigation Class in favor of P&G, that judgment will prevent you from bringing a separate lawsuit against P&G for the claims that were or could have been litigated in this case. If judgment is obtained against P&G in favor of the California Litigation Class, and you are entitled to any portion of that judgment, you will receive further notification about your rights.
You can inspect many of the court documents connected with this case on this Settlement Website. Other papers filed in this lawsuit are available by accessing the Court docket in this case at https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/cm-ecf (perform a case number query using case number 15-cv-02150-RS), or by visiting the office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Court holidays.

More Info:
For their third album As You Please, Citizen is looking inward. Pairing up again with longtime producer Will Yip, the band presents twelve songs that fuse aspects of their entire catalog into one neoteric whole. While the cathartic melancholy of their debut Youth and the jarring intensity of 2015�s Everybody is Going to Heaven are both present, the most welcome addition to Citizen�s arsenal on As You Please is the range of auxiliary instrumentation and sonic experimentation on the album. This is most notable on �In the Middle of it All,� where vocalist Mat Kerekes is sampled singing the song title in a modulated, haunting chorus that echoes throughout the song. The addition of organs and unconventional drum effects on songs like �You Are A Star� and �Medicine� create shifting emphases on tension and frailty, while the huge choruses of songs like opener �Jet� and �I Forgive No One� are reminders that while Citizen dove headfirst into uncharted territory with their new album, the band is still as good as ever at writing emotionally-charged anthems. As You Please presents Citizen�s vision at the most focused it has ever been - it is delicately crafted to provoke at every moment.

Include your focus keyphrase in the slug
One of the SEO assessments in the Yoast SEO plugin checks whether the slug contains your focus keyphrase. In this article, we'll explain a few things about this assessment. We'll explore what a slug is, how you can edit it, and why a slug is important for SEO. We'll also explain why it is so very important to include your focus keyphrase in the slug, and we'll give you a few other basic tips on how to improve your URL.
What is a slug?
A slug is the part of a URL which identifies a particular page on a website in an easy to read form. This means it's the part of the URL which explains the page's content. In the example below, https://yoast.com/academy/ is the URL, and academy is the part that identifies the page as being our Yoast Academy page. So, the slug in this URL is academy.
How to edit a slug in WordPress
If you use WordPress, you can edit the slug when writing or editing a post, below the page or post title field. It looks like this:
Note that this only works with the right permalink settings. You can edit the permalink settings in WordPress through Settings > Permalinks. We recommend choosing an option in which the URL contains relevant words, as this provides users and search engines with more information about the page than an ID or parameter would. We'll explore this in more detail in the next section.
Note: don't just change your permalink settings once your site is already online. This could cause all kinds of trouble.
Why are slugs important for SEO?
The slug is one of the indicators search engines use to determine what a page is about. And, as we've just seen, you can change the words of the slug to make sure that it has the words that you really want to rank for.
In addition, it's one of the things that people see in the search results. A search result usually consists of three elements: the title (in blue), the URL including the slug (in green), and a meta description (in black). Note that this is not always the case: sometimes the slug is replaced with breadcrumbs. People might click a search result easier when the slug matches the subject of the page. For example, the WordPress default slug used to be a combination of random numbers. And let's face it: you would prefer clicking https://yoast.com/academy/ over https://yoast.com/?P=613458/ as well, right?
Learn more about this check in Yoast SEO in our explanation of the keyphrase in slug assessment.
How to improve your URLs
As we've seen, a good URL makes it easy for visitors and search engines to figure out what a certain page is about. Therefore, it's a very good idea to use your focus keyphrase for that post or page in its URL. The Yoast SEO plugin checks if you have used your focus keyphrase in your URL. However, there's more you can do to create perfect URLs. Let's go about a few basic tips.
- Choose the right permalink structure
Improving your URLs all starts by defining your permalink structure in your CMS. As we've explained before, you can edit your permalink settings to change how you want to organize your URLs. Make sure to choose an option in which the URL contains relevant words.
- Include your focus keyphrase
Both search engines and your users use the URL to find out what a certain page or post is about. Therefore, it's a great idea to include your focus keyphrase in your URL. The Yoast SEO plugin will remind you if you haven't included your focus keyphrase in your slug.
- Use lowercase letters only
Try to use lowercase letters only in your slug. That's because, in some cases, you can create duplicate content by mixing these two.
- Add focus
The more parts you add to a URL, the more complex and hard to understand it gets. Focus is key. That's why we recommend removing all the words that you don't really need from your slug. Filter out all the unnecessary words, like function words. However, you should make sure the slug still makes sense, though.

Weigel Chairman Shapiro Dies
Howard Shapiro, chairman of Weigel Broadcasting, has died. He was 86.
Shapiro remained active around headquarters prior to his death, said the company.
"A larger-than-life figure in Chicago business and broadcasting for decades, Howard guided Weigel Broadcasting from a struggling single UHF television station in Chicago, to a company with more than ten stations in three markets as well as involvement in two national broadcast networks," said Weigel in a statement.
A graduate of Purdue, Shapiro's connection with television began in 1964 when he was one of the first advertisers on WCIU, Chicago's first UHF television station. His advertisements were for C.E.T., a television retailer that he founded in 1949.
Shapiro was married to Jacqueline Cooper Shapiro, who preceded him in death in 2003. He is survived by his three sons Norman, Ken and David, daughter Caroline (Barry) Smith, and four grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Doodoo Reclamation RevisitedRead Now
Here is the long ago promised update regarding the dog doo composting effort! It has indeed worked, and I have indeed been lazy about things. When is the last time I dumped it around any ornamentals? I forgot! No worries though. It seems the perforated plastic trash can never gets full! You may gasp in horror to learn that I have switched the Boss Queen over to pine shavings instead of kitty litter so that her products may also be added to the doodoo can. I once kept the can lid on, and now that too has fallen..right beside it! The rains have been quite beneficent for the doo doo project and this has saved me from having to water hose moisten things. There is NO STINK FACTOR! I acheive this by keeping a layer of dried up leaves or shavings over the doo doo deposits. The non edibles may get a nice humus dressing either this fall or next spring. It very much depends on my laziness factor. As for the edibles..did I mention the two fertiliser producers working effortlessly every day? Nothing perks a bit of garden like the gifts of the house rabbits! One of the best features of rabbit excreta is that it does not have to be seriously composted before application. It does make great worm food though. My Uncle Bill kept some fine fuzzy rabbits just to feed his fishing worms. I just point out areas in need, and my daughter dumps the rabbit products around the plants. The reserve gets dumped around the Mimosa, or the rose bush. With a little smoothing, it serves as a great mulch.

When he was 19, Tolkien visited the spectacular valley of Lauterbrunnen. Decades later, when he wrote The Hobbit, he described Rivendell, and illustrated it as well.

A Writer's Retreat
Posted by Lynne Griffin
I admit I work a lot. Yet to me writing is where work and play come together, it's the definition of being in flow. I don't mind working long hours, I often write six days a week. I have no anxiety around spending an entire day on one paragraph or tossing out a whole chapter in favor of going in a new direction with my work-in-progress. I love the challenge of writing the novel, but I still love a good vacation.
Last week, my family and I took our annual trip to Maine. The house we rent lakeside, in the Sebago region just outside Portland, is magical enough to draw my husband and me away from our career and home responsibilities. More astounding is its ability to coax two teenagers away from friends and technology. It's a just us, no TV, no laptop trip, and it has been for fourteen years.
And while you can take the writer out of her office and away from her computer, you can't take the writing away from the writer. Here's a glimpse inside what I call my writer's retreat.
I've always baked a pie using wild Maine blueberries. This year in honor of Patry Francis, author of The Liar's Diary and her tradition of making a pie for the muse, I made my version of the literary blues pie.
In Portland, ME, in the wonderful independent book shop, Books, Etc... I couldn't resist searching out Tethered. My daughter thought a photo was called for.
Lost in a family game or puzzle, or while sipping a glass of wine from a local vineyard on the dock at sunset, I worked out a structural change in my novel. It was so easy to see things clearly sitting there.
And of course, I read. Thanks to a recommendation from Michael Lowenthal, I've now added another novel to my top ten. Revolutionary Road, by Richard Yates is perfection!
I loved The Shack by William P. Young, The Rest of her Life, by Laura Moriarty, and The Unthinkable, by Amanda Ripley, too.
So I'm back now and ready to begin working again in the traditional sense. I still have my memories of the time I spent with the people I hold most dear and I look forward to next year when perhaps I'll walk into Books, Etc... in Portland and find a copy of Life Without Summer on those shelves.
