As a Global Maternal Health Advocate, I get to travel the world quite a bit meeting individuals and visiting programs with tremendous potential and incredible vision to improve the quality of life for countless others. These trips help to educate me about the challenges and solutions facing vulnerable populations, particularly mothers and children, in regions where maternal and infant mortality ratios are disproportionate. When I visit many of these places on behalf of Every Mother Counts (EMC), the campaign I founded to reduce preventable deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth around the world, I am reminded that what's often most needed is education and access to others who are educated. When I say education, that includes primary and secondary schooling, yes, but there are many other levels of education that are also required to meet and improve upon the health needs of so many. Sexual and reproductive health education and human rights education are almost always lacking, even when others are available. When you look at education through a global health lens, the ripple effects of higher education on communities and populations sharpens immensely.
One of the best examples I can think of to illustrate this point is in Haiti, where I last visited this past spring. My trips to Haiti over the past few years have taught me that the people of this beautiful country are quite capable of combating their current climate of high maternal and newborn death rates (the highest in the region) through training, mentoring and the education of nurses, midwifes, and skilled birth attendants.
Even though Haitian women are considered the "poto mitan"-- the "central pillars" of the family and their communities -- they are often the most underserved members of already poor communities. Like too many other developing countries, Haiti and its 10 million people suffer from a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals. There are only 25 physicians and 11 nurses per 100,000 residents, and only one midwife/nurse-midwife for every 1,000 live births.
Though I have seen this countless times in other countries, my travels to Haiti offered several opportunities to witness how access to trained maternal health professionals can dramatically impact the health and education of entire communities. I also saw how outreach to traditional birth attendants in rural communities can provide a much-needed bridge to the healthcare system. In a country where more than 70 percent of women deliver at home, it is essential to leverage traditional attendants so that women can be linked to skilled providers in medical facilities.
Back in January of 2012, Every Mother Counts visited the already impressive construction site of the H__pital Universitaire de Mirebalais (University Hospital) with Partners In Health (PIH) and their Haitian sister organization Zanmi Lasante (ZL) for the first time. What struck us most then was the infectious enthusiasm of PIH co-founder Dr. Paul Farmer and his Haitian colleagues about what this facility represented to the Haitian people just two years after the devastating earthquake that destroyed much of the capital city, including the main public hospital there. The mission of University Hospital is to train a wide range of healthcare providers to deliver the highest standard of healthcare to the Haitian people. We were also impressed with the general layout and plan of this hospital, with easy access to the emergency room and its proximity to maternity and NICU departments. Since that first visit we knew we had to find a way for EMC to support the training of the staff that would provide care and support to expectant mothers at University Hospital. I returned last April for an opening celebration of University Hospital to see much of PIH co-founders Dr. Paul Farmer's and Ophelia Dahl's dreams for Haiti that began so close to this hospital's site -- nearly 30 years earlier -- much realized.
Now, four months since the hospital has been officially opened and receiving patients from a catchment area of roughly 3.3 million people, Every Mother Counts is thrilled to announce a new grant to support the training of Haitian nurses including auxiliary nurses, nurse-midwives, and birth attendants in normal birth management; how to better diagnose and manage complications; and to provide emergency obstetric care at University Hospital. The grant will also include the training of Ajan Fanm (women's health agents -- including traditional birth attendants, or matrons), to be able to identify high-risk pregnancies in their communities, so that they are better able to refer and accompany those cases to the appropriate level of care. We are so excited about the potential of this new group of health workers who will undergo training through this partnership because we know that the ripple effect of the knowledge and skills they will gain at University Hospital will spread beyond their communities and that someday, everyone in Haiti will have access to the same quality of healthcare.

And for this great adjustment in positive aspects, I get to pay an added $200 per month. The price of these healthcare plans is far less pricey than these from private insurance coverage firms. In the recent past many new players have entered the well being insurance sector. Dealing with emergencies and supplying wellness care associated positive aspects for various healthcare needs is the reason that tends to make these plans a need to. These plans are easily available on the site of various health insurance coverage companies. This will require a range of measures like quite tight regulation of well being care insurance firms who perform no needed function. Insurance coverage companies will compete for your business, especially if you have a clean driving record. You can enter different incomes, ages and family sizes to estimate your eligibility for subsidies and how a lot you could commit on health insurance.
Hi People, my name is Cesar Diaz, I am an auto insurance broker in the state of California. The added income solves Social Security's extended term funding problem, creates and totally funds National Overall health Care and expands public education to contain college totally free of charge. If you do not anticipate utilizing your wellness plan much, high-deductible plans with reduced month-to-month premiums may well be the way to go. Life can turn on a dime and individuals just do not get it.Insurance coverage reform on all levels requirements to be carried out. Nevertheless, when she could no longer perform and COBRA benefits had run out (if she could afford them), shopping for insurance coverage was next to impossible with cancer. People will mainly act rationally exactly where their economic incentives and the assessment of their health care demands are involved.
Though some of the queries asked on most on the internet overall health insurance quote forms can look intrusive the details is essential to provide you with an correct and affordable health insurance quote. It is crucial to attempt and discover some type of well being insurance coverage strategy for the duration of your period of unemployment. Understanding these and other frequent insurance coverage terms will help you determine the most inexpensive health-related insurance coverage for your individual needs. The Overall health Insurance coverage Marketplace is obtainable on the internet, by telephone or by means of an approved insurance broker. Arizona does offer Arizona health insurance coverage coverage to young children whose family members meets particular specifications.
Section 1312 (f)(2) clearly outline the capacity of undocumented aliens to participate in well being care programs. Health care providers will continue to do their job and overall health insurance coverage firms will continue to exist and make a profit. And, that basic search can bring forth surprising outcomes that will have you armed with what you will require to triumph in success against these insurance agents and brokers. I stupidly filed an insurance coverage claim for water damage in 2001 and got a verify for $1,000. Ilang linggo na kaming naghihintay wala pa din advise kung kailan namin pwedeng makuha ang refund.
I would like to offer you a far more sober and clear eyed examination of the state of our healthcare program I will commence with a summary of the evolution and resulting state of U.S. wellness care prior to this reform bill's passage. Accident insurance policies could give a specified quantity of money and additional coverage for incidents like ambulances, ER visits, and physical therapy. 1 of the most troubling wellness care troubles facing the United States has been offering care for these who cannot afford well being insurance coverage and who are not eligible for either Medicaid or Medicare.

SOUTHERN RY. CO. v. NORTH CAROLINA R. CO. et aL (Circuit Court, W. D. North Carolina. June 29, 1897.) No.130. 1.
In a suit whose issues involve the setting aside of a recorded deed, the invalidity of which does not appear on its face, and must be established by matters dehors the deed, there is no such plain, adequate, and complete remedy at law as will oust the jurisdiction of the court. A bill in equity may be maintained by a railroad lessee against the lessor company and its controlling officers to establish the validity of the lease, as against threatened attacks thereon, and to enjoin such attacks by the defendants, where the lessee company is in possession, and the leased road forms a vital, connecting link, necessary to the Integrity and prosperity of its railroad system. When a state becomes the owner of part of the stock in a railroad corporation, it lays down its character as a sovereign, and places itself on an equality with private stockholders; and hence the corporation and its directors and controlling officers, though in part appointed by the state, and specially representing Its interests, may be sued in the federal courts, in respect to contracts entered into by the corporation, to the same extent as a corporation Wholly owned and controlled by private individuals. Where a state owns stock in a railroad company, and the governor and attorney general are Invested by law with the control of all suits in relation to the property of the state therein, they are proper parties defendant to a suit in equity to establish the validity of a lease of the property, and enjoin threatened attacks thereon.
The North Carolina Railroad Company, in which the state of North Carolina owns three-fourths of the capital stock, and is represented by director;; appointed by the governor, has full power, under the decision of the state courts (which are controll1ng in the federal courts), to execute a valid lease ot its road and franchises for a term of 99 years.
This was a suit in equity by the Southern Railway Company against the North Carolina Railroad Company and others to establish the vad lidity of a lease of the defendant's road, and to enjoin threaten attacks thereon. Henry 'Crawford and John G. Carlisle, for plaintiff. J. C. McRae and A. C. Avery, for the governor. W. H. Day, for defendants. J. E. Shepherd, for the attorney general. J. S. Manning and Burwell Olmstead, for the old board. SIMONTON, Circuit Jndge. The Southern Railway Company, complainant, became the purchaser, at snndry sales for foreclosure under order of this court, of the property of the Richmond & Danville Railroad Company. Among other. assets of the debtor company was a lease of the North Carolina Railroad. dated 11th September, 1871, for the term of 30 years. TIlls lease was purchased b;y, and became the property of, the complainant. In August, 1895, as the result of negotiations between the Southern Railway Company and the North Carolina Railroad Company, a new lease was executed by the last-
Ilamed company to the Southern Railway Company, of all its property md franchises, for a new term of 99 years, upon an increased rental, and certain other provisions, more beneficial to the lessor than in the cormer lease; and by the provision of this new lease the termination [)f the former lease was anticipated, and it was declared to be at an end on 31st December, 1895, new lease taking its place. The North Carolina Railroad Company is a corporation of the state of North Carolina. Three·fourths of its capital stock, represented by certificates of shares, are owned by the state. One-fourth of the capi· tal stock is owned by private persons. Its affairs are managed by a beard of directors. Of these, eight represent the state's interest, and they are appointed by the governor of the state, by and with the consent of the council, and are removable at pleasure by the same method. Four of the directors are elected by the private stockholders exclusively. All the directors appointed or elected represent and control the corporation, subject to the approval of the stockholders in meeting assembled. At such meeting the shares held by the state are represented by a proxy, appointed and removable in the same way as the directors on the part of the state are appointed and removed. This lease for 99 years, having been executed by the board of directors, by the unanimous vote of the entire body, and having been approved by the like vote of a meeting of stockholders, created a great deal of discussion in the state of North Carolina, on the hustings and else· where. Its legality and expediency both were challenged, and threats were m,ad(;! by men of influence and position to break the lease. Efforts were made to obtain action upon the part of the legislature to this end. And, although these efforts did not meet with success, it was manifest that there was a llxeddetermination to obtain, if possible, the end in view, by suit and other means. Under the laws of North Carolina the right to bring suits with regard to the property and claims of property of the state rests wholly with governor and the att()rneygeneral. Under these circumstances the Southern Rail· filed its bill in this court, setting forth substantially way the facts' stated; insisting on its rights under this lease; declaring it to be an important and essential link of its line of intercommunication between the states on the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf; pray· ing that these be investigated, and that its rights and equities be adjudicated and established and put at rest. To this end, it made the North Carolina Railroad Oompany, the corporation, a defendant, as representative of its stockholders. It made also defendants Hon. D. L. Russell, the governor of North Oarolina, and Hon. Zebulon Vance Walser, attorney general of North Oarolina,-the officers selected and designated by the general assembly as in charge of all suits connected with the property and right of property of the state, the dominant stockholder in the corporation. It added the proxy of the state, authorized to cast its vote on all questions determining the ac· tion of the corporation. And it included as defendants S. B. Alex· ander and others, who were the president and directors under whose administration the lease was made. The bill prayed the establishment of the rights of complainant in its lease, and the injunction necessary to protect them therein. Upon the filing of the bill, recogniz·
ing the large interests and very grave questions involved,--questions, the solution of which, one way or other, could only be reached by exhaustive discussion and careful determination, requiring the aid of learned counsel,-the usual rule to show cause was issued, and the temporary restraining order was entered. Soon after these were done, his excellency the governor of North Oarolina, in the exercise of powers claimed to be conferred on him and the council of state, which claim this court will not question, removed the directors theretofore acting in the corporation on the part of the state, as well as the proxy who had cast the vote of the state at stockholders' meetings, and appointed in the place of the directors Messrs. H. U. Butters, William Gilchrist, John S. Armstrong, John Graham, Virgil S. Lusk, Oharles A. Cook, R. H. Norments, and A. W. Graham. These gentlemen last named came into this court, setting forth the fact of the removal of the state members on the old board, and their appointment in their place, and prayed leave to intervene and answer as parties. This was granted. Cause has been shown by all parties named in the original bill and in this amendment as defendants, the Honorable D. L. Russell and the HonorableZ. V. Walser, protesting against and denying the right of the court to compel them to answer in their official capacity, and putting in their responses as individuals. Necessarily, the questions first to be met and decided are those affecting the jurisdiction of the court. Has it jurisdiction over the subject-matterof the suit? Are there questions arising or to arise in the effort to exercise jurisdiction, growing out of the character of the parties to the controversy, which will force it to stay its hand, and fOfbear any other interference in the suit? As the issues in this case involve the setting aside of a deed executed and recorded, whose invalidity does not appear on the face of the deed, and must be established by matters dehors the deed, there is not such a plain, adequate, and complete remedy at law as will oust the jurisdiction of this court. Rich v. Braxton, 158 U. S. 375, 15 Sup. Ct. 1006. The main question is between the Southern Railway, a corporation created under the laws of Virginia, and the North Carolina Railroad Company, a corporation under the laws of North Carolina,-both of them private corporations. The Southern Railway Company claims to be the lessee of the North Carolina Railroad Company, for value, of all of its franchises and property, for 99 years; that the lease under which it holds was executed by the rightful authority, in the prescribed method, with full power; that, being thus clothed with vested rights under its lease, it finds these rights questioned, its property attacked, its enjoyment and use of it threatened, in influential quarters, and its peaceful administration of it put in extreme danger; and that these questions, attacks, threats, and damaging results originate within the lessor corporation itself, or with persons who have the power of controlling its action. In this age, and in this state, the validity of these attacks, the force of these threats, the real existence of this danger, and the solution of these questions, can only be had in the courts. The complainant thereupon comes into this court, in which, by reason of its citizenship, it has standing, and prays the aid of the court in its adjudication of these matters, invoking the protection of
the constitution of the United States. Can a bill of this character be maintained in a court of equity? . The jurisdiction to entertain applications for relief against attacks upon the title to property, either by suit or threats of suit, has been exercised by courts of and sometimes by courts of law, from time immemorial. In equity this relief is afforded by bills quia timet and by bills of peace. Mr. Justice Story (Eq. JUl'. § 825), commenting upon the first class of these bills, says that they are in close analogy to suits at common law of the pature mentioned by L<Jrd Coke (Co. Litt. 100a, and note). Says Coke, "That there be six writs in law that may be maintained quia timet before any molestation, distress, or impleading." Of those, the sixth is styled ''Ne Injuste Vexes." These are called "Brevia Anticipentia,"-writs of prevention. {'Now," adds Mr. Story, "bills in equity, quia timet, answer precisely to this latter description. They are in the nature of writs of prevention,-to accomplish the ends of precautionary justice. They are ordinarily applied to prevent wrongs or anticipated mischiefs, and not merely to redress them when done. The pa,rty seeks the aid of a court of equity because he fears some future probable injury to his rights and interests, and not because an injury has occurred which requires any compensation or other relief." Courts of equity have constantly enlarged and liberalized this relief. And the legislation of many of the states has extended it yet further. Under the general principles of equity. the relief could not be afforded except to one in actual possession. The statutes of many of the states have dispensed with this requisite, and have enlarged the relief. The courts of the United States have, within their jurisdiction, recognized and enforced the relief thus given by state statutes. Holland v. Challen, 110 U. S. 20, 3 Sup. Ct. 495. In the case at bar, the complainant alleges: That it is in possession and in actual enjoyment of a lease of the North Carolina Railroad for a long term.. It first held as purchaser from the Richmond & Danville Railroad Company, which had been in quiet and uninterrupted possession as lessee of the leased premises since 1871. That, being in possession as alienee of the lease, a new lease was executed to it by the North Oarolina Railroad Corporation, and that a part of the consideration of the new lease, or perhaps a necessary incident of its execution, was the extinguishment of the old lease. The possession, however, was continuous and uninterrupted. That this leased property is of the last importance, perhaps vitally important, to the existence, certainly to the prosperity, of its great system of interstate railway. That their right to the lease, their possession under it, the continuance of their enjoyment of it, are not only questioned, but are threatened with serious attack in high and influential quarters from without, and with denial of their right, with action to defeat it, and with suit to this end, within, the board of directors of the lessor corporation. That by reason of this .action upon the part of those persons the complainant is threatened with irremediable disaster. Under these circumstances, if the c()mplainant can maintain and prove that the lease under which it holds was executed to it by its lessor in the full exercise of its powers under its charter, in a proper and orderly way, according to the terms of its charter, and in good faith, without
fraud, covin, or malpractice, the case would present a strong and irresistible appeal for the exercise of the preventive remedies of this court. And this remedy must include an injunction against the North Carolina Railroad Company, its officers and agents, and all persons connected with it, from molesting, disturbing, or disputing the rights of the complainant in said lease. Compare Orton v. Smith, 18 How. 263, As between two private corporations, therefore, a bill of this nature can be entertained in this court, and, upon proper proof of the character indicated, relief could be given. How is the jurisdiction affected by the fact that the state of North Carolina is the owner of threefourths of the capital stock in the lessor company? Under the charter of this company, the state of North Carolina, by virtue of its ownership of three-fourths of the stock, names 8 out of the 12 directors. The private stockholders owning the remaining fourth of the stock name four directors. But when they have been thus selected the board of directors meet as a body, and act as a unit. Their action is reviewable by a meeting of stockholders in which the stock of the state is represented by a proxy in her behalf, who sits and votes with the private stockholders, and forms with them one body. Each director in the one instance sits as the equal of every other director, by whomsoever appointed, and each stockholder acts on equal terms with every other stockholder. The state, as sovereign, does not meet with either body. When the state entered into this enterprise with private persons, she did not carry into it her functions of sovereignty, but stripped herself of them. Whenever there has been waste or misapplication of corporate funds, or abuse of its intere8ts, by' officers or of a corporation; whenever contracts of a corporation are to be enforced, or claims against it resisted,-the action to secure its interests must be in the name of the corporation. It is only when the directors of the corpora· tionneglect or refuse to protect its interests, or are in collusion with the wrongdoers, or are still under their control, that the stockholders, or any of them, can act. Robinson v. Smith,3 Paig-e, 222; U. S. v. Union Pac. R. Co., Fed. Cas. No. 16,598; Heath v. Railway Co., Fed. Cas. No. 6,306. This rule is absolute. It was held in U. S. v. Union Pac. R. Co., just quoted (affirmed in 98 U. S. 569), that the United States, the sovereign, could not interfere in such a case, and that the relief was through the corporation, or, in exceptional cases, by the stockholder. In the case at bar the newly-appointed board of direct· 01'13, made parties at their own request, who answer for themselves and for the corporation, do not come within anyone of this category of objections, and give no reasons for the interposition of the stockholders. So far as respects the transactions of the corporation, its contracts, or its torts, the state exercises no power, enjoys no privilege, with regard to them, not derived from the charter, or differing in any way with the power or privilege enjoyed by any other stockholder. The corporation, within its chartered power, acts for and binds its stockholder, the state, equally and to the same extent as it acts for and binds every private stockholder. This has been repeatedly decided by the supreme court of the United States; and is established law; Bank of U. S. v. Planters' Bank, 9 Wheat. 904; Bank of Kentucky v. Wistar,
3 Pet. 431; Briscoe v. Bank, 11 Pet. 324; Darrington v. Bank, 13 How. 12; Davis v. Gray, 16 Wall. 221; Newton v. CommissionerB, 100 U. S.557; McC<>mb v. Board, 2 Woods 48, Fed. Cas. No. 8,707. In Curran v. State of Arkansas, 15 How. 309, which was a suit against a corporation in which the state was the only stockholder, this doctrine was recOgnized and enforced. In that case the court says:
"By the charter of the bank, the state of Arkansas became its stockholder. But the bank was a distinct trading corporation, having a complete, separate existence, enabled to enter into valid contracts binding itself alone. The obligation of Its contracts, the funds provided for their performance, and the equitable rights of its creditors were in no way affected by the fact that a sovereign state paid in its capital, and consequently became entitled to its profits."
The supreme court of North Carolina, in Marshall v. Railroad Co., 92 N. C. 322, declares:
"When the state is a stockholder in a railroad company, It Is bound by the provisions of the charter,' in the same manner as an individual stockholder. It has no advantage as a stockholder on account'of Its sovereignty; for by becomIng such It lays down its character as a sovereign, and places Itself on a footIng of equality with the individual stockholders."
This being sO,as every contract of the corporation not ultra vires, and not made in fraud, binds every stockholder, such contracts bind the stockholder, the state. As such contracts can be enforced against the corporation without making any individual stockholder a party, so they can be enforced against the corporation without making the state a party. And the present action can be maintained by complainants against the North CarOlina Railroad Company, seeking to maintain, enforce, and protect its cop.tract, and the cause will proceed, and the relief, if any, be given, without being in any way affected by the fact that among the stockholders of the corporation is the state of North Carolina. The state of North Carolina, having thus laid down her sovereignty when she entered into this enterprise with the private stockholders, so far as respects the transactions of the corporation, exercises no power and enjoys no privilege in respect to these transactions not derived from the charter. Her interest, therefore, in this contract which has been assaulted is not a sovereign interest, nor are her functions with regard to them functions of sovereignty. She stands exactly as any other stockholder would stand. The state as well as they is bound by the' charter. And if this lease was made bona .fide, without fraud of any kind, within the powers and according to the requirement of the charter, the action of the corporation will bind every stockholder. This is the question at issue in this case. And having assumed jurisdiction of the question, with all proper parties before it, the decision of this court, subject to review by an appellate court, is final. In this point of view, the governor of the state and the attorney general are proper parties to this case. In them alone is vested the right to bring suits in the name of the state, and it is alleged that the threats of suit and of the destruction of this contract come from one or both: Of them. Now, as the interests of the state, as a stockholder in this corporation, are not sovereign, if these two defendants seek to use the' name of the state, as a stockholder, to set aside the act of the corporation, they are not discharging the functions of sovereignty, but are simply seeking to represent a stockholder
in a private corporation. And if the state, as shareholder, is bQund by the terms of the charter, and this lease is within the powers of the charter, these two defendants cannot, in the name of the state, do what she herself, as stockholder, cannot do. To this extent only has this court jurisdiction over them. In. the discharge of the executive functions devolving upon them under the constitution and laws of North Carolina, in all matters within the executive discretion, in the exercise of that contrQI over all domestic corporations which belongs to the lIItate as the visitor of them, in the issue of any. of the great prerogative writs against a corporation, this court cannot-no court can-interfere. But in bringing snch a suit as is threatened, to destroy this lease, these two defendants would represent, not the !!lovereign state of North Oarolina, but only a shareholder in a private corporation, and in this respect they come within the jurisdiction of this court. They are high public officers. They are entitled to, and they have, the profound respect of the court. But no one in this country, however exalted in .station or illustrious in character, is above the law. No state official can, in assuming the name of the state, shelter himself behind her sovereign immunity, if he attempt any act which the state herself, being a shareholder, cannot do. Pennoyer v. McConnaughy, 140 U. S. 1, 11 Sup. Ct. 699 ; Reagan v. Trust Co., 154 U. S. 362, 14 Sup. Ct. 1047. It being clear that this case is within the jurisdiction of this court, its merits can be inquired into. The parties to the suit are the complainant and the defendants, the North Carolina Railroad Company, the board of directors who made the lease in question, and the board appointed by the governor upon the removal of the old board. This removal was effected after this suit, was brought, but the new board have come in, and have fully presented their side of the case. Besides these, Hon. D. L. Russell, who is the governor of North Carolina, and Hon. Zebulon V. Walser, who is the attorney general of North Carolina, are parties. Besides questioning the jurisdiction 'of the court, the answers of Messrs. Russell and Walser, who protest that they answer only in their individual capacity, and of the new board of direct· ors, make up clear and distinct issues upon the merits. If the jurisdiction of the court over the controversy is established, it can come to a clear and definite conclusiQn on these issues, and settle the controversy once for all. These issues are three in number. First. Was the North Oarolina Railroad Company authorized by its charter to make the lease of its roadbed and franchises claimed by complainant? Second. Was this lease executed in conformity with the requirements of the charter'? Third. Was it executed bona fide, without fraud, misrepresentation, or malpractice in any respect? The first of these issues is a question of law. It involves the right of the North Carolina Railroad Company to farm out its franchise and property. It has no relation whatever to the policy or motives which led up to it. These belong probably to the third issue. As has been seen, a lease was executed of its property and franchises by the North Carolina Railroad Company to the Richmond & Danville Railroad Company in 1871, and for 30 years. The right of the lessor company to make such a lease has been before the supreme court of the state
in State v. Richmond & D. R. Co., 72N. 0.634, 73 N. C. 529, the validity of the lease was sustained. In Logan v. RailroadeD., 116 N. 0. 940; 21 S. E. 959, the court says, question of the authority of the lessor company to farm out its franchise and property is no longer an open one." These decisions of the court of last resort of Nocth Carolina as to the construction of a state statute bind the federal courts, apart from the very high authority of that court itself. Norton v. Shelby 00.,118 U. S. 425, 6 Sup. Ct.H21; Union Bank v. Kansas City Bank, 136 U. S. 223, 10 Sup. Ct. 1013; Gormley v. Clark, 134 U. S. 338, 10 Sup. Ct. 554. And these decisions being of force, unquestioned,when this contract of lease was made, the law entered into, and was a part of, the contract, whose obligation cannot now be impaired.. Olcott v. Supervisors, 16 Wall. 678; Douglass v. Pike Co., 101 U. S. 677; Darlington v. Jackson Co., Id. 688; Anderson v. Santa Anna Tp.; 116 U. S. 356, 6 Sup. Ot. 413. 2. Was this lease executed in conformity with the .requirements of the charter? On this point it has not been denied that the lease was executed after an unanimous vote of all of the directors, confirmed and approved by unanimous vote in a regular stockholders' meeting. 3. Was the lease executed bona fide, without fraud, covin, misrepresentation, or malpractice of any sort? This is a question wholly of fact. The charge is made by the defendants Messrs. Russell and Walser, and of the new board of directors, and in the answer of the lessor filed by them. Let this third issue be referred to Kerr Oraige, Esq., of Rowan county, as special master, under the following instructions: That he take such testimony as may be produced before him touching all matters relating to, or incidental with, this question, holding reference at such time and place as may be most convenient; that upon this issue the defendants the new board of directors and Messrs. Russell and Walser have the affirmative of this issue, and the opening and reply in the testimony, and that they be allowed 60 days, if so long be necessary, within which to produce testimony, dating from the service of this order; that the complainant and the old board of directors have the negative of this issue, and that they be allowed 60 days, if so long be necessary, after the opposite party announce their evidence closed, and that 20 days, if so long be necessary, be allowed for reply, beginning when respondents announce that they have closed; and that said special master report the evidence with all convenient speed thereafter. In the meantime the restraining order heretofore issued is continued until further order.

I suspect my car battery is original to the vehicle, but I absolutely cannot find a date on the battery. You'd think one would be printed on the sticker? I run a Dash Camera, with power cut off at 50%, and it seems the camera shuts off sooner and sooner. If the battery is original to the car, it's about 56 months old. However, I'd like to know for sure, but all I see is a serial number.
Sometime between now or when I have the car in for service, I'll have battery tested, but I'd like to know the age none the less. Attaching Pictures.

We are excited to announce our second Black & White National Juried art show, opening August 1, 2015. We are privileged to have another of NY's art elite as our juror, Christiane Paul, Adjunct Curator of Media Arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art. With her guidance, we look forward to another
spectacular show.
Ours is a truly unique gallery – a massive Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY. Its enormous space affords us the opportunity to exhibit really huge work, and we welcome it. We will be using 8,000 square feet for this show, and look forward to exhibiting artist's work from all around the country, work in all sizes, subjects, and media, except film (it's almost completely wide open).
Submission Deadline: Early Bird May 26 or Final Application Deadline June 10, 2015.
Gallery Exhibition Dates: August 1 - 23, 2015 weekends 1-6P.M.
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 1, 2015 from 1-6P.M.
Christiane Paul is Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art, where she has curated several exhibitions—including Cory Arcangel: Pro Tools (2011), Profiling (2007), Data Dynamics (2001) and the net art selection for the 2002 Whitney Biennial—as well as artport, the Whitney Museum's website devoted to Internet art. Dr. Paul is Associate Professor in the School of Media Studies at The New School in New York City.
BEST of SHOW GOLD: $1000
BEST of SHOW SILVER: $500
CERTIFICATE of RECOGNITION: $1000 $100 each for ten winners.
Artists accepted into Black & White can also send one additional work that will be exhibited in our Affordable Art area. All works must be smaller than 12" x 16" (including frame, if framed) and must be priced for sale at $500 or under.
Theme: We bathe in the beauty of color and spin thousands of words describing the experience that the cone cells transmit to our brain. In reality, they are not nearly as numerous as our rods, the cells that register light and dark, the black and white of our experience. Our rods are less articulated in language;
fewer words are generated to describe that experience. Black and white is primal, the underneath, the foundation, of the opulence of color; black and white is where we register motion and, when the cones do not have sufficient light, our rods optimize our survival in the night woods.
Black and White intends to explore this underground of survival and few words. All submissions are welcome in this exploration.
ELIGIBILITY: This call for submission is open to all residents of the U.S. and its Territories 18 years of age or older. This is a juried exhibition for artists working in all traditional and non-traditional 2D and 3D media, including film/video when part of an installation. All artwork must be original in concept, design
and execution.
SUBMISSIONS AND FEES: Only original works may be submitted. Works may be submitted in one or multiple media.
Early Bird Submissions (through midnight, May 26, 2015): $45 for up to three (3) images plus $5.00 for each additional image. Submissions between May 27th and midnight June 10, 2015: $65 for up to three (3) images plus $5.00 for each additional image. All entry fees are non-refundable.

Good morning.
Here's what you need to know:
• Reaction to President Trump's address tended to focus on its "presidential" style. His sobriety, seriousness of purpose, and calls for unity reassured — and surprised — many listeners.
"I think it sounded great, like a utopia," one voter said, adding, "I don't think it's that simple." Indeed, Mr. Trump, who met with congressional Republican leaders on Wednesday, above, faces not only a committed Democratic opposition but a divided Republican Party.
Today's episode of The Daily podcast examines the president's speech, especially his promises to protect Americans. Listen from a computer, on an iOS device or on an Android device.
• As Chinese officials gather this weekend for the start of the annual National People's Congress, China's weak currency is likely to be a major topic behind closed doors.
The momentum appears to be turning against keeping the renminbi weak, not only because it risks worsening relations with the U.S., but also because it may hurt Chinese companies more than it helps.
• Russia mistakenly bombed Syrian fighters being trained by the U.S., another unintended clash among the myriad forces on the fluid battlefield.
Separately, United Nations investigators released a report detailing war crimes committed by various forces in the Syrian conflict. The Syrian government's deliberate bombing of a U.N. aid convoy in September, which killed 14 aid workers, was "one of the most egregious."
Also in Syria, a senior Qaeda leader who was a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden was killed Sunday in a U.S. drone strike.
• The Malaysian investigation into the Feb. 13 assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the half brother of North Korea's leader, has been halted at the doors to the North Korean Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
Two North Korean suspects in the case have taken refuge inside, adding to tensions between the former close allies.
• The Philippines appears set to reinstate the death penalty, after a crucial vote by the House of Representatives that demonstrated the popularity of President Rodrigo Duterte's bloody antidrug campaign.
A few last steps to enactment are unlikely to be difficult, despite opposition from some lawmakers and the politically influential Catholic Church.
The church has had more success in preventing the distribution of condoms to high school juniors and seniors, despite the country's fast-growing H.I.V. infection rate, one of Asia's highest.
• Are the microtubes and filaments magnified above the oldest fossils on Earth?
Some researchers identify them as bacterial remains that offer evidence that life emerged not long, geologically speaking, after the birth of the planet 4.5 billion years ago. Others are, in the words of one scientist, "frankly dubious."
Such battles, an optimist observed, are "how science progresses."
• Snap Inc., Snapchat's parent company, makes its much-heralded market debut with a valuation set at $24 billion, an extraordinary starting point for a trajectory that could rise like Facebook — or fall like Twitter.
• India's rivers are paying the price for the country's runaway construction boom. Ruthless "sand mafias" are devastating waterways to feed demand for concrete.
• Women on the boards of Singapore-listed companies on average earn 43 percent less than their male counterparts.
• Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have signed a publishing deal. Penguin Random House won the fierce auction — an insider said the opening offers for Mr. Obama's book alone were as high as $20 million.
• ResearchGate, a Berlin-based social network for scientists, is growing in influence and funding, linking academics worldwide and providing real-time research feedback.
• U.S. markets were up. Here's a snapshot of global markets.
In the News

Smarter Living
• If you feel your productivity flagging at work today, try putting on some music.
• Recipe of the day: For a different take on dinner, try roasted fish with sweet peppers.
• France's perennial obsession with "Frenchness" is colored with fears that its essence is being lost with the decline of provincial towns — dense hubs of tradition where Balzac set his novels.
• Be nice to your doctor or nurse. A study of an Israeli neonatal unit suggests that quality of care suffers if a parent is rude, or even just unpleasant, to the medical staff.
• Finally, what to pack for a monthlong trip to Asia? King Salman of Saudi Arabia arrived in Indonesia, his first stop, with an entourage of 1,500 people, six Boeing jets and a cargo plane carrying two Mercedes limos and 506 tons of luggage.
Back Story
When the movie "King Kong" was first screened, 84 years ago today in New York City, it was widely anticipated for its technological feats and a challenging narrative that had a "monstrous ape 50 feet tall" climbing the still-new Empire State Building.
"The film will show prehistoric monsters fighting one another and making weird sounds," The Times reported before the release, calling it a "fantastic film."
It also helped define the career of Bruce Cabot, who played Jack Driscoll, the hero who rescues Fay Wray from the giant ape.
Mr. Cabot's career didn't start in acting school. At 14, he scavenged cattle remains on the prairies of New Mexico for bone meal. Work in construction "gave him a democratic outlook on life," The Times wrote in 1933. As a ship deckhand, he worked his way to Europe and meandered through post-World War I France and Spain.
After "King Kong," a series of supporting roles followed, often alongside John Wayne. World War II military service took him back to Europe, where he worked in intelligence.
That may have prepared him for one of his last roles: Fighting a fictitious spy named James Bond in "Diamonds Are Forever."

Kirsten McCoy (Principal Partner)
Kirsten was born in Virginia and grew up in Morristown, New Jersey when her father transferred out of the Navy to work in New York City. Her earliest exposure to interior design came from her grandmother and mother (both avid antiques collectors), when, as a child, she would join them on grand house and museum tours throughout New York and New England. Her grandparents faithfully restored a Federal Style Revolutionary War period home in Essex, Connecticut, and it was that house that had a lifelong impact on her appreciation for classical architecture, fine construction practices, and thoughtful researching of interiors. While completing her undergraduate studies at Rutgers University, Kirsten spent time studying in England, and traveled extensively throughout Europe. It was during that time in her life that her passion for antiquities and design was truly ignited. She later attended Drexel University where she received her Master's of Science in Interior Design and Interior Architecture.
A lifelong scholar, Kirsten furthers her studies of design, architecture and residential technology, through her involvement as a guest lecturer and critic at Drexel University and the Art Institute of Philadelphia. She continues to pursue historical and technical studies through the Winterthur Museum, the Newport Historical Society, the Royal Oak Foundation, the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and CEDIA. When not playing tennis, Kirsten enjoys designing furniture, wallpaper and textiles and is quietly obsessed with accessorizing rooms. She takes great pride in her art collection at her ca. 1860's farmhouse in the Main Line area of Philadelphia, where she lives with her husband, Jim, daughter, Brooke, and dog, Gizmo.

Listening to Phillip Hammond's budget speech, and seeing people praising it as it was given, always worth remembering the first golden rule of budgets – you need a few hours / days for it to be understood.
And sure enough, the broken promise on National Insurance became the story.
And if there's some sympathy because there's an issue to solve, reflect on how Labour had to fight 2015 charged with being unprepared to make that promise.
Jezza has kicked off at the budget – it was sounding complacent and do have to say, 'we are the party of the NHS' when there are the issues there are (bed blocking, black alerts, long waits on trolleys, abandonment of 18 week targets, GP appointment problems) would be exhibit no. 1.
It's the record numbers in work claim that confuses when so many people are seeking extra social security – or have already been written off by DWP procedures.
Loads of analysis from many to come, but I also wonder if enough thought has been given to the potential of another economic crunch.
One final point, Midland Main Line electrification being deferred cos of concerns over Value for Money when new money has just been announced for road improvements to tackle pinch points on the road networks – which we have discovered before merely moves the pinch point. For our environment, we need the extra investment to go into mass transport.
From Chris Leslie MP –
10 important points from the Chancellor's Budget yesterday:
1. The 2015 Conservative manifesto promised "no increases in National Insurance contributions", yet Class 4 NICs on self-employed profits will rise to 11% in 2019, costing an entrepreneur on £27,000 over £30 per month. (Tory MPs not happy – I'd expect a u-turn on this before long).
2. Small businesses are hit by a 'double whammy' not just from higher NICs, but also a reduction in the Dividend Allowance to £2000 from April 2018, which means less take home income for the self-employed too.
3. The Brexit challenge barely raised a mention in the Chancellor's speech. The OBR say that "when the UK leaves the EU, the trading regime will be less open than before" adding that any new free trade deals with third countries would not be enough to prevent "lower trade intensity". The Government will also miss their targets on trade and immigration – so it's no wonder Brexit is airbrushed from the Budget.
4. On education, a handful of 'free schools' get £1bn over the Budget period, yet all the rest of our schools get just a quarter of that – £260m extra between them – over that same period.
5. The Business Rates hot-potato is handed across to local councils, who will have to cope with the administrative nightmare of running a discretionary support fund taking bids from companies in their area.
6. The headline £2bn extra for social care is spread over just three years and phased out again by 2020
7. DCLG Local Government budget is cut by more than 20% from £8.2bn in 2016-17 down to £6.5bn in 2017-18, and then again down to £5.5bn in the following year
8. Borrowing is expected to RISE from £51.7bn this year to £58bn next year, according to the OBR. They add "The Government does not appear to be on track to meet its stated fiscal objective to 'return the public finances to balance at the earliest possible date in the next Parliament'. The deficit falls little in 2020-21 and 2021-22, while the ageing population and cost pressures in health are likely to put upward pressure on the deficit in the next Parliament." (page 6 OBR report).
9. GDP growth is expected to moderate this year are rising inflation squeezes living standards and consumer spending (largely flowing from the sterling depreciation since the Brexit referendum). Economy forecast to actually grow less than expected at the Autumn Statement.
10. This is set to be the worst decade for pay growth in two centuries of earnings data (according to the Resolution Foundation).

Maybe you, like me, have this image of an ideal you in your mind.
An ideal me always gets up early to read my Bible and exercise, gets dressed long before 11 am, never runs late, spends hours each week just reading and treasuring my kids, has a nourishing and yummy dinner ready to pull out of the oven when my husband gets home, and, well, the list goes on and on.
I am miles from my own ideal.
On time? Those words are hardly even in my vocabulary.
On the one hand it is okay. The highest calling of a Christian is to love and worship our King. You can worship in your pajamas while stepping over loads of laundry to get dinner in the oven.
But each of us has an earthly calling too. As a wife and mother I am called to wisely build my home.
I wish I could have rolled out of bed January 1st, turned over a new leaf and been an "ideal me."
I've tried.
It works for about 24 hours. (Actually, make that 24 minutes.)
Trying to tackle a hundred habits all at once almost certainly will fail. Crystal, in her excellent series 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life challenges us instead to implement one habit at a time. That is what I plan to do in 2012.
Building new habits takes time. Lots of time. Research shows that it takes about 21 days to develop a new habit. I'm going to give myself a month.
Each month in 2012 I will choose one habit that would help me carry out my calling better and prayerfully seek to cultivate that habit.
Would you care to join me?
Of course our habits will look different. Each home has its own unique culture and that's a glorious thing! Each of us have our own strengths and weaknesses.
A habit that would really benefit my family might not be good for yours. But we could all encourage one another as we seek to become more disciplined women of God.
The first weekday of each month, I'll list the habit I will be working on with a linky for those that want to join me. On the last weekday of the month, I'll post my progress (hopefully!) and what I've learned, with a linky for you to join me.
