First Ever Olive Tree Book Tour!
Thanks to the nice folks at Glass Road Public Relations, I am happy to offer a glimpse into Jerome Teel's new book, The Divine Appointment. AND I have a FREE copy of the book to give away!
In The Divine Appointment, Supreme Court Justice Martha Robinson has died, presenting an unprecedented opportunity for conservative president, Richard Wallace, to impact the direction of the highest court in the land for years to come. The Supreme Court has the power to interpret the Constitution, and in the process, to shape the nation. Not everyone is thrilled with the president's nominee, however. And some will stop at nothing, including murder, to prevent his confirmation by the Senate.
About the Author: Jerome Teel received his law degree from the University of Mississippi where he graduated Cum Laude. He now practices full-time as an attorney in Jackson, Tennessee. The Divine Appointment is his second novel.
Interview with the Author:
1. Who is the target audience for The Divine Appointment?
The audience is wide and I believe The Divine Appointment can reach different segments of the Christian community. Specifically, though, I think the target audience is politically active Christians such as members of Christian Alliance organizations, Right to Life Organizations, American Family Association, etc.
2. How do you describe your genre for this book?
Christian fiction political thriller.
3. Where/How did you birth the idea for this book? How did it come about?
The idea for this book was two-fold. First I think that Roe v. Wade was a very bad decision and it should be reversed. Secondly, the appointment and confirmation processes for Justice Roberts and Justice Alito were very intriguing and I wondered what it would be like if there was a true conservative, Christian jurist going through that process who would openly say that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. I found that concept very intriguing and turned it into a storyline.
4. What sort of research was involved to make The Divine Appointment sound authentic/realistic?
I researched the Washington D.C. geography to make sure I had names of buildings and streets accurate. Google Earth is an amazing tool. The legal aspects of the book and the courtroom scenes come from my many years of experience as an attorney.
5. What takeaway points do you hope the reader pulls from this book?
I hope that readers will realize that it is important for Christians to be part of the political process.
6. Is The Divine Appointment part of a series?
It is not designed as a series yet. However, like The Election there could be follow-up books that would track some of the characters.
7. How do you deal with your other obligations (job, family, church, etc.) when it's crunch time near deadlines?
This is one of my most difficult tasks. I'm a partner in a law firm and that is a full-time job. Part of my practice is that I represent the local county government, which at times is very consuming. Currently I am helping coach three separate baseball teams. I am the incoming board president for a local charity. I teach a high school boys' Sunday School. And our family life is extremely busy. As you can see, there are very few unoccupied minutes in my life. When I'm working on a writing project my writing time is very late at night--typically from 10:00 p.m. to about 1:00 a.m. When a deadline is rapidly approaching I have to take time away from the office and stay at home until I'm able to get the project completed.
8. Do you plan character development and then let them run with the story, or do you plot the story in advance?
I don't know how unique my writing style is but I cannot write from an outline. The first thing that happens is that I see the beginning of a story and the end of the story, and then I begin to write. I outline as I go along and I keep a timeline. The characters begin to take on lives of their own and lead me through the story. When I get to about 30,000 words I begin to fully see the story unfold. It is at that point that I make a few notes about the direction of the book and it is all I can do to write fast enough to complete the manuscript.
9. Do you have an organized office and set times to write, or do you find yourself writing at unusual times or places?
I write at unusual times--typically very late at night. But the place is always the same. I have a study in my house and I do all of my writing there.
Thanks, Jerome, for giving us a glimpse at your life as a writer, and why you wrote The Divine Appointment.
As a fan of John Grisham myself, I can't wait to read this book. If you are interested in receiving a FREE copy of The Divine Appointment, leave me a comment by midnight (Central), Sunday, June 17th. I'll draw the winner's name Monday morning and post it! (FYI, anonymous comments will not be entered for the free book).

We love making resolutions too — and we're lucky enough to have in-house experts to help us get started in the new year. Here's the latest in our "Resolution Rescue" series:
The Resolution: "To find gluten-free, vegetarian dinner options that aren't just Amy's frozen burritos." – April Rueb, Web Editor
We went to Good Housekeeping Research Institute Nutrition Director Samantha Cassetty for a simple meal suggestion that would still fit April's hectic schedule:
Here's an easy, gluten-free recipe to help anyone get out of the frozen-food rut. This Asian Bowl is almost as effortless as a microwave entrée, but is more filling. It packs 16 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber.
To one container cooked Minute Ready to Serve Brown Rice, add 1/2 cup shelled edamame (cooked) and 1/2 red pepper, diced. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium gluten-free soy sauce. Top with 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds.
For more great suggestions, check out these easy, gluten-free dinner ideas.
TELL US: What do you resolve to do more of this year? Maybe we can help!

I see there's another model of 10.1 tablet that works with this OS, so maybe this particular tablet would not be that far off to add to our verified devices?
They are totally different devices, different SoC (even from different vendor), GPU, WiFi and so on.
Oh. Dang, guess I'll have to wait until it's available on this device then.

It seems like only yesterday that Sonos Base was a very very basic sketch on a regulatory filing, with a name that I basically guessed (Sonos Play One became Sonos One; logically Sonos Playbase would become Sonos Base).
And the reason it seems like only yesterday is that it was.
This is the 'sketch', if you can call it that, from the FCC filing. The only reason I think it's the Sonos Base (a squarer device that sits under your telly) and not the Sonos Bar (previously known as the Sonos Playbar; a soundbar that sits in front of or below your telly) is that the feeble schematic is square rather than rectangular.
Well today, Sonos sent out this invite to an event on June 6.
So pretty obviously what Sonos is saying is, "Ditch these TV, Blu-ray, set-top box, etc, remotes and talk to Alexa on your new Sonos Base or Sonos Play. Because Sonos Base/Sonos Bar will include HDMI it will then be able to communicate with all your AV gadgetry and you need never touch another button again as long as you live."
Too easy. Remember when tech launch invites used to be cryptic?
Alexa control of the new device seems like a given, but the sheer number of remotes in the image suggests Alexa and/or Sonos will then control your other AV devices – volume, standby, play and pause; it's quite easily done over HDMI, in theory.
We shall find out for sure on June 6.

This week's trend in beer blogging is the pub jukebox. It's an easy post to write and it's either this or the development of the Prussian beer market in 1869, so here goes.
I'll be upfront and say right at the start that I don't like canned music in pubs. I go to pubs to chat to my mates, not to listen to someone else's CDs or iPod. There is no appropriate level for pre-recorded music in pubs, it seems. Either it's so quiet that you subconsciously strain your ears trying to figure out what the hell it is they're playing, or it's so loud that you can't hear what your pals are saying.
Clubs are different. There the music is the main event and I'm in the frame of mind to appreciate (or not) a playlist that, say, follows Autechre with the Just Joans and the entire side three of Metal Machine Music at ear-splitting volume, seguing into Klaus Wunderlich's instrumental cover of "Good Vibrations" before finishing with a twelve-minute mash-up of Lady Gaga, Jandek and the Wombles mixed by a drum 'n' bass obsessed madman in his bedroom in an unfashionable suburb of Lisbon. But I don't want that in the pub.
In the pub, I want live music if there's to be any at all, and music to complement the chat rather than dominate it. There is still a bit of folk music in Glasgow pubs and I quite like that. What annoys me, though, is that although a couple of guys with fiddles and guitars were for years loud enough to entertain a pub without amplification, for some reason the two guys nowadays appear to need a 200 watt PA system in the same pub. It's too much, too loud.
There is one pub jukebox I like. It's the one in the Laurieston Bar in Glasgow. It's free to use, but that's not why I like it. I like it because it doesn't quite work properly (which is the reason it's free). Most of the time it functions normally, but occasionally, rather than playing the song you've chosen, it just plays "This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius" from Hair instead. Really rather charming in its own way.

The Normalisation Committee set up by FIFA following the investigative documentary,[Number 12] on Ghana football by journalist Anas Aremeyaw has told Parliament's Youth, Sports and Culture committee that it will need GH₵7.2m equivalent of US$1.5m for its activities and programmes.
The revelation came after the Normalisation Committee members met with parliament's Youth, Sports and Culture committee on Tuesday at Parliament House.
"They told us they have a programme they are going to roll out and they told us they needed some amount of money of about GH₵7.2m to organize some kind of competition, as a way of reviving the whole thing.We have asked them to present the details to us" Chairman of the Youth, Sports and Culture committee, Alex Kofi Agyekum told B&FT in an interview after the Committee meeting.
The amount been requested is expected to be raised from corporate bodies, government and other sources.
He also indicated that they were satisfied with the outcome and responses from the Normalisation committee members and are confident in their work to turn around Ghana's football.
On his part, the chairman of the Normalisation Committee, Dr.Kofi Amoah indicated that his team was contented with the outcome of the meeting and added that they will be forthcoming for advice and counsel whenever it is necessary.
According to him, football can become an appendage to Ghana's economic infrastructure, stressing that the role it plays in entertaining, uniting were critical.
"The basic issue facing us, is do we understand the football economy and what has to happen to get our clubs profitable so that they will pay our players well, so that the fans can be entertained properly, because if the players are incentivized the games will be interesting- if referees are paid well, the refereeing will be transparent and all these will come together to excite the fans and they will multiply in their numbers.
With a larger fan base, you create a veritable platform for sponsorship, merchandising, so we improve ticket revenues to clubs,improve merchandising revenue to clubs, sponsorship revenues to clubs, they will pay players well, they will stay in Ghana and Ghana football will rise".

Best Bar: Bear's Lair Pub
Let's be real. Bear's Lair Pub doesn't offer the best beer selection, nor is it a particularly classy joint. But if you ever need an excuse to day drink, this is it. Though lacking a full bar (despite this category being "Best Bar"), Bear's Lair makes up for it with its punny slogan – "Go Beers" – and the collection of confiscated fake IDs hanging above the bar.
Apparently, Bear's Lair also has daily happy hours ($2.50 pints!). But it's better known for its crowded Friday afternoons, and the pub's weekly Beat the Clock is the way to start off your weekend shenanigans.
It's always an ordeal to get past the no-nonsense bouncers, through the always-crowded patio of newly-turned 21-year-olds and slip by the occasional older creeper. But once you actually make it to the bar, grab yourself a pitcher and a plastic cup and feel the solidarity around you of students whose only goal is to get fucked up. Might as well join in, since you'll probably run into everyone you ever met at Cal who you never needed to see again. The best part? You're in bed by 9 p.m. Oh, and the food isn't bad, either.
-Jessie Tseng
Best Italian Food: Gypsy's Trattoria Italiano
With at least three consecutive years as a Best of Berkeley winner, Gypsy's Trattoria Italiano once again makes it out on top – to nobody's surprise. We all know that it's hard to resist the nostalgic smells of garlic and late-night pasta runs freshman year while walking down the oft-traveled Durant Avenue. The power of Gypsy's is real. All it takes is one to-go order of steaming lasagna for you to suddenly be surrounded by friends who would otherwise remain in their studying bunkers.
For all those students who are pinching their pennies, this self-declared Trattoria offers a relatively inexpensive splurge for a supremely satisfying meal-perhaps the first real one you've had time for in days.
By the time this article is published, I will actually be in Italy (yeah, I couldn't help but drop that in there. Don't hate me … too much). Do I in any way expect the quality of Berkeley's best Italian to compare to the real deal? Absolutely not. Yet Gypsy's offers everything us college students need: consistency and comfort at a cheap price. This fall when I order my steaming hot plate of linguini clams, I'll know that I am truly home. No wonder Gypsy's continues to be our go-to favorite.
-Leslie Toy
Best Indian Food: House of Curries
Situated across from Asian Ghetto, the place I affectionately call "H of C" won't wow with its decor (though when is that a problem in Berkeley?).
No, House of Curries continually dishes out quality Indian food: tasty biryanis that make for two whole meals, fluffy potato naan and tantalizing curries. Sometimes I can't even make up my mind, what with all the options.
Just don't be pigeon-holed into the 'safe' option of chicken tikka masala. Any of the vindaloos – trust me here, I've tried them all – are sure-fire choices, as are the mushroom and squash curries for any non-carnivorous folks out there. Oh, and be sure to drink up on free chai to your heart's content.
To those who think that this place is interchangeable with Naan N Curry: You've been deeply deceived. Wanting to save a couple of bucks, I made this foolish mistake two years ago and left with an irritable feeling in my stomach – partly because Naan's vindaloo was not to my liking, and partly because I had betrayed my go-to restaurant in Berkeley.
Oh, House of Curries, why can't I quit you?
-Ed Yevelev
Best Place to Take a Date: Berkeley Marina
The serenity of the Berkeley Marina is what draws me there again and again. Easily accessible by the 51B bus, it's a creative, fun and memorable idea for a date. Moreover, the Marina is a great spot because it is a setting that inspires conversation, laughter or maybe even that first kiss. On a golden afternoon, you and your date can enjoy the sun and the waves melding together and lapping wistfully at the shore. Sea birds trace the sky with their wings overhead, and the clouds traverse lazily and whimsically with the wind.
The Marina provides the ideal view of Berkeley, perched gloriously on its eastern hill, and of San Francisco and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Anchored between these two cities, it's the perfect middle ground, an isolated oasis for you and your date to talk, picnic and catch the sunset. I actually suggested the Marina to a date just a few weeks ago. We spent our time perched on the rocks, gazing at the limitless horizon and sharing a peaceful moment together within our otherwise cacophonic lives. The Marina promises this perfect escape for you and your lover to get away from Berkeley's city life.

Best Place to Watch a Movie: Shattuck Cinemas
Berkeley is blessed with a surfeit of movie theaters, and more often than not your selection might depend on what's playing where. But if you just feel like catching a flick, Shattuck Cinemas has the nicest accommodations of anywhere around. It's run by Landmark Theatres, which means the movies there are, roughly speaking, arthouse fare, but there is usually enough of an assortment showing on the 10 screens to suit varied tastes.
Recently, though, the theater has implemented changes to distinguish itself further. Two of the auditoriums substitute the typical rows of fold-down seats for a mess of couches, chairs and loveseats. And the theater now has the Lot 68 Lounge, which serves beer, wine and cocktails, with a selection of (somewhat pricey) food items. Some evening film screenings are restricted to 21+, so moviegoers can top off a tasty beverage during the show.
Among the other accessible options, Shattuck Cinemas is the classiest pick for a night at the movies in Berkeley. With the added bonus of Landmark's student discount, it's clear why Shattuck was voted Berkeley's best.
-Sam Stander
Best Place to Watch the Stars: Big C
The Big C on Charter Hill is a central component to Berkeley's lively tradition and school spirit. As a representation of Cal, it has been mottled and maimed by time, and serves as a testimony to Berkeley's unique history. It is a spot that must be visited by any true Golden Bear, and also by any serious stargazer. On game days, it's crowded with Cal fans intent on cheering on their team, and by night, it's haunted by Berkeley students intent on watching the stars and reveling in one of the city's most breathtaking views.
A bit of a trek to reach, the nighttime view at the Big C is worth it because it offers solitude and a place to ponder the beauty of the universe. Sitting on the Big C, you will feel part of the constellations themselves, which lurk so closely that you can trace them with your finger. To reach the Big C, first go to the parking lot behind the Greek Theatre. From there, find the dirt path at the farthest right corner of the parking lot, and follow this for about ten minutes to find your destination.
-Summer Dunsmore
Best Historical Place of Interest: Sather Tower
Yeah, its a 307-foot tall phallus stabbing into the sky, but it is an important phallus.
When architect John Galen Howard was hired to orchestrate the physical expansion of Berkeley in the early 20th century – a massive effort that brought us the Hearst Memorial Mining Building, Wheeler Hall, Memorial Stadium and the Hearst Greek Theater – he made the Campanile the focal point of the campus' architectural master plan.
Built in honor of the fallen Campanile di San Marco in Venice, Italy, the 13-floor granite structure is the most prominent part of Howard's bold plan for constructing the "Athens of the West" in the foothills of Berkeley.
Since the massive tower went up in 1914, it has been visited by millions. Until metal bars were installed in 1981 it was also a popular suicide spot. In 1996, when Californians voted to ended affirmative action, 23 protesters occupied the tower as hundreds gathered outside.
In the century since Howard's original vision was completed, the rest of the Berkeley's expansion has been ad hoc, leaving Sather Tower as the premier symbol of the grandeur Berkeley's founders were hoping to reach.
-Javier Panzar

Lew Rockwell, whose libertarian blog is one of our regular watering holes, is urging fellow libertarians to stop reaching out to the Republican Right and reach Left instead. Why? Because the so-called "conservative majority" in the U.S. is tending fascist:
"If you follow hate-filled sites such as Free Republic, you know that the populist right in this country has been advocating nuclear holocaust and mass bloodshed for more than a year now. The militarism and nationalism dwarfs anything I saw at any point during the Cold War. It celebrates the shedding of blood, and exhibits a maniacal love of the state. The new ideology of the red-state bourgeoisie seems to actually believe that the U.S. is God marching on earth -- not just godlike, but really serving as a proxy for God himself. Along with this goes a kind of worship of the presidency, and a celebration of all things public sector, including egregious law like the Patriot Act, egregious bureaucracies like the Department of Homeland Security, and egregious centrally imposed regimentation like the No Child Left Behind Act. It longs for the state to throw its weight behind institutions like the two-parent heterosexual family, the Christian charity, the homogeneous community of native-born patriots."
My own libertarian streak would welcome common-cause with libertarians of Lew Rockwell's intellectual rigor.

Ski fitness exercises make a big difference to the way you ski. It is obviously also important about skiing or snow boarding to come back injury free. Yet one in every two hundred skiers returns carrying an injury – some serious. Many skiers do no exercise before the first run on the first day and are much more likely to be injured than a fit skier.
If you are going skiing this season here are some tips from Brighton chiropractor, Matthew Bennett, who was chiropractor to the British Alpine Ski Team. These should keep you skiing at your best and keep you safe.
Top tip: Ski Fitness Exercises
It doesn't matter how late you have left it to get ski fit – start some exercise. Any exercise, even walking briskly is better than nothing. If you already exercise regularly start doing some specific ski exercises like squats, jumping side to side, trampolining or cycling.
Obviously it is best to start training a couple of months before your trip but even a few days of working out will pay dividends. After all the biggest change in fitness occurs in the first two weeks of starting a new program.
Other sports which can help with skiing fitness are less obvious. Roller-blading is great as it uses the muscles at the side of the hip which are often overlooked in most fitness regimes. Even though it is the wrong time of the year tennis can be good too. It involves agility and lots of side to side movement too which mimics skiing in some respects. It is also anaerobic which is very much like skiing.
The sort of aerobic exercises that will help with skiing are cycling and running obviously but less obviously -swimming. Skiing involves a fair bit of upper body strength too. The upper body must balance over the vigorously moving legs so good core strength and shoulder strength to wave the poles about is crucial. Poling over flat terrain also puts a demand on us. Swimming can help with this very nicely whilst improving heart and lung function at the same time.
Top tip: stop skiing at lunchtime on the third day
Of courses aerobic fitness is very important too. Often we underestimate the effects of altitude on our muscles and lungs. A tired skier is much more likely to be injured. The peak incidence of ski related injuries is the afternoon of the third day. The tiredness is taking hold and skiers are becoming more adventurous and more likely to stay out until the last lift down.
Top tip: build balance into your skiing fitness routine
If you like the idea of cycling consider mountain biking over hilly terrain. The pedaling up hill beefs up the thigh muscles but the down hill sections improve balance and co-ordination.
Another way to improve balance is to stand on one leg with your eyes closed for 1 minute, then do the same on the other side. It is amazing how difficult that is and how well it prepare you for the slopes. If you want to take it a step further then ask to borrow one of our wobble boards but watch out – they are hard core!
An important addition to exercise with an element of balance is working out on a gym ball. The unstable nature of these exercises make the muscles work really hard and improve the speed at which they contract when faced with over balancing. Press-ups, sit-ups, wall squats and back extension exercises are great on the ball.
Top tip: Get a Sundial Skiers MOT
Our chiropractors and physio's can help if you want to make sure you are in tip top shape before setting foot on the snow. A full biomechanical assessment can pin-point the areas you need to work on and improve the flexibility to help prevent injury. If you want a ski check up then call us for an appointment.
Happy skiing.

Good Morning! In today's Blog, we consider whether President Trump's appointment of new White House Communications Director of Communications might have fiscal implications for Puerto Rico's fiscal future; then we turn to leadership efforts in the Virginia General Assembly to refine what a state's role in oversight of municipal fiscal distress might be.
Might There Be a Change in White House Direction vis-à-vis Puerto Rico? Prior to his new appointment as White House Director of Communications, Anthony Scaramucci, more than a year ago, questioned whether the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico should be granted authority more akin to a sovereign nation than a state—power which would, were it granted, authorize Puerto Rico to authorize its muncipios the authority to file for chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy, writing in an op-ed, "The shame of leaving Puerto Rico in limbo," in Medium a year ago last May, just as the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee was seeking to report the PROMESA legislation. Mr. Scaramucci then indicated that creditors wanted to file with regard to the actions taken by the Puerto Rican government as if they were "equal to the intransigence of the Kirchner government in Argentina, but in reality the situations (of both countries) are completely different." He explained: Not only does Puerto Rico not have the same public policy options as Argentina, but its economy and ability to pay its debts are worse off: Not only does Puerto Rico not have the same public policy options as Argentina, but its economy and ability to pay its debts are worse off." He further noted that House Speaker Paul Ryan (R.-Wis.) was in a difficult situation to deal with the situation in Puerto Rico, amid what he described as a "civil war" within the Republican Party—a war he described as "induced by Donald Trump."
Now, of course, Mr. Scaramucci is in a starkly different position—one where he might be able to influence White House policy. Having written, previously, that the "tax code of the Commonwealth must be revised to be more friendly to economic development…Social assistance programs should be drastically reduced and labor laws softened," Mr. Scaramucci has also called for public-private partnerships to make "essential" government services more efficient, such as the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority—noting: "Ultimately…we must also allow Puerto Rico to operate as a sovereign country or grant them legal protections more similar to those of the states (which is the preference of the Puerto Rican people)." He argued that the case of Puerto Rico represents a "failure on multiple levels: the insatiable desire of US investment funds for Puerto Rico triple exemption bonds; U.S. Congressmen of the status of the Congressionally-created territory, and misappropriation of funds by the Puerto Rican government: "We must now face our failures and take pragmatic measures to create a better future: The tax code of the Commonwealth must be revised to be more friendly to economic development; social assistance programs should be drastically reduced, and labor laws softened." He noted that public-private partnerships could be vital in rendering "essential" government services more efficient, such as the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, noting: "Ultimately, we must also allow Puerto Rico to operate as a sovereign country or grant them legal protections more similar to those of the states (which is the preference of the Puerto Rican people)." Referencing that, as in the Great Recession of 2008, he noted the case of Puerto Rico represents a "failure on multiple levels: the insatiable desire of US investment funds for Puerto Rico triple exemption bonds; U.S. Congressmen of the status of ELA (Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico), and misappropriation of funds by the Puerto Rican government…But as we did after 2008, we must now face our failures and take pragmatic measures to create a better future."
Mr. Scaramucci's comments came as the City or Pueblo of San Juan has filed a legal challenge to the PROMESA Oversight Board's approval of the Government Development Bank (GDB) for Puerto Rico debt restructuring agreement: San Juan is seeking a declaratory judgement and injunctive relief against the PROMESA Oversight Board, the GDB, and the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority before U.S. Judge Laura Swain Taylor in the U.S. District Court for Puerto Rico—a judge by now immersed in multiple bankruptcy filings, after the Bastille Day PROMESA Board's approval of a restructuring agreement for the GDB's $4.8 billion in debt—an approval for which the Board asserted it had authority under PROMESA's Title VI.
San Juan's filing claims the GDB holds more than $152 million in San Juan deposits—deposits which the city asserts are the property of San Juan, and thereby ineligible for Title VI restructuring, which explicitly addresses only municipal bonds, loans, and other similar securities. San Juan then claims the GDB deposits are "secured," unlike the funds which the GDB owes to municipal bondholders—even as the PROMESA Board's approved Restructuring Support Agreement provides for the municipalities to vote in the same class as all the other GDB creditors, asserting that such a voting practice would be contrary to PROMESA. The suit also notes that, under Puerto Rico statutes, municipal depositors are allowed to set-off their deposits against their GDB loan balances; however, the Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) is grossly inaccurate in accounting for these deposits against the loans and, thus, the agreement is breaching the law—asserting:
"The ultimate effect of the RSA would be to provide a windfall to the GDB's bondholders by using the resources of San Juan and other municipalities for the payment of bondholder claims while imposing enormous losses on those same municipal depositors through the confiscation of their excess [special tax deposit] and their statutorily guaranteed right to setoff deposits at the GDB against their loans from the GDB." The suit further charged that the PROMESA Board convened illegal executive private sessions concerning the creation of the RSA—sessions which included representatives of the GDB and FAFAA. (The federal statute only allows executive sessions with board members and its staff present, according to the suit.) Thus, in its complaint , the city is requesting that Judge Swain find the board's approval of the agreement invalid, and that Judge Swain further find that PROMESA and Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution preempt Puerto Rican laws and executive order that have stopped the municipalities from withdrawing their funds from the GDB for over a year.
Not Petering Out. In the Virginia Legislature, Del. Lashrecse Aird (D-Petersburg), the youngest woman ever elected to the House of Delegates, recently noted: "In this session, I'm carrying a very light load, just four or five bills, that are locality bill requests: As a lawmaker overall, you will always see me supporting those initiatives and those policy issues that reference those three priorities: jobs, education, and healthcare. I think that if I can execute on those priorities, that will definitely improve the quality of life for the citizens, the families and kids, not just for Petersburg but the entire district." Del. Air noted that last year, the City of Petersburg's financial situation made headlines throughout the Commonwealth, and led to serious conversations about the financial health of Virginia's cities and counties: "What we saw in Petersburg, in addition to a declining economy nationwide, was longstanding financial mismanagement, negligence, and declining cash balances dating back to 2009. And, what we saw in localities like Emporia, Martinsville, Lynchburg, Buena Vista—all classified as having significant fiscal stress—is that these historic cities were displaying similar indicators, and they were largely going unaddressed." Thus, she played a key role in creating a work group which has examined local fiscal distress—and which has produced an action plan, a plan from which components have been incorporated into the state's new budget: including:
- improving how the Commonwealth of Virginia monitors fiscal activity and increases the level of oversight by the auditor of public accounts;
- establishing a mechanism which is responsive to situations of local fiscal distress; and
- providing readily available resources should intervention become necessary.
As a start, she noted that Virginia House has adopted a budget which allocates up to $500,000 to conduct intervention and remediation efforts in situations of local fiscal distress that have been previously documented by the Office of the State Secretary of Finance prior to January 1st, 2017. As part of a longer-term approach, the effort incorporates additional language establishing a Joint Subcommittee on Local Government Fiscal Stress, with the new subcommittee charged to review:
- savings opportunities for increased regional cooperation and consolidation of services;
- local responsibilities for service delivery of state-mandated or high-priority programs;
- causes of fiscal stress; potential financial incentives and other governmental reforms for regional cooperation; and
- the different taxing authorities of cities and counties.
Or, she she put it:
"An integral part of the approach we take towards addressing fiscal distress must also include conversations about electing capable local leadership and providing training in areas most critical to effective governance and financial management. Where there are gaps in knowledge and understanding, elected officials must be willing to educate themselves in every area necessary for good governance."

Eva was admitted to the Newcastle school on 26 November 1868, from Parramatta Court as Eve RUSSART. No record has yet been found of her court appearance and to date no records from Parramatta or Penrith courts have been found to have been reported in newspapers on Trove. It is not believed that any reports were written in these papers at the time. On Eve's admittance to the school, she had attained one of the highest levels of education recorded in the school as she was reading the third book and writing in a copybook. The Entrance Book recorded that she was a Protestant who was about fifteen.16 As Eve was recorded in CLARKE's list of girls eligible for apprenticeship on 15 December 1869, where she was recorded as a seventeen-year-old who had been in the school for one year and two months.17 Eva was discharged from the school as an apprentice to Mr J. A. SMITH of Maitland18 on 19 February 1870.19 These indentures were to be for a year but were soon cancelled as Eva complained to CLARKE of bad treatment by her employer and she was returned to Newcastle on 28 August 1870. CLARKE applied to transfer Eva's indentures to Mr George BOWDEL of Murrurundi for seven shillings a week. He commented that Eva was 'fully eighteen years of age.'20
In 1877 in Orange, Eva, as Mary Eva Jane RUSSARL, married William KENT. As Mary KENT she was the informant when her father died and at that time she was a resident of Prospect. William was perhaps recorded as the Acting Undertaker for the burial of his father-in-law.21 William KENT was still alive in 1903 when he and Eva placed and In Memoriam notice for the death of Eva's half-brother, William's wife, Mary Hellen (PETTY), who had died on 26 December 1902. Also mentioned in the notices were Mary's husband, William, and their children Eva, Tilly, Daisy, Carl, Leonard and Linda. A separate notice was place by her children, William and Jinney. The registration named no parents and was in the name of May E. RUSSETT.22 It may very well be that after Mary's death Eva assisted in raising some of the children of William and Mary Ellen aka Mary Hellen RUSSETT. Eva was further linked to her half-brother, William RUSSETT, in the Funeral Notice for his second wife, Winifred, in 1921.23 In this notice Mrs Eva KENT was named as Winifred's sister but marriage records indicated that they were sisters-in-law. It is possible but unconfirmed that William KENT died at the age of 86 years on 12 August 1923, at his residence, Uruga, Ashley-street, Hornsby, where he was described as having formerly lived at Wallabadah.24 This death has been attributed to him but it has not been verified by observation of the actual registration. It is also unusual that only Eva was mentioned in a Funeral Notice two years previously so it may be that William had died earlier - possibly between 1903 and 1821.
Prior to her death Eva was living with her half-brother's daughter and her niece, Eva A. M. RUSSETT, who had married Samuel TAYLOR in 1906.25 Eva died as Mary E. J. KENT nee RUSSART on 9 March 1928,26 at the Home of Peace in Marrickville at the age of 76.27 Her Funeral Notice in the Sydney Morning Herald on 10 March named only her half-brother, William senior and his family. Her death registration recorded that she died of a cerebral haemorrhage, paraplegia and bed sores. She had never had children. The informant was William MOORE, who was no relation, but Eva's death was certified by Eva TAYLOR, her niece, of 52 Middle Street, South Kensington. Eva was buried the following day in the Church of England Cemetery, Randwick.28 When her niece, Eva TAYLOR died in 1962, she was also buried in the grave with her aunt.29
The Entrance Book recorded that Eva's father was Charles but contained no record of the name of her mother which strongly suggested that she was dead even though this wasn't stated. Eva's baptism was registered as Eve RUSCAT in 1853 where her father was recorded as Charles and her mother was recorded as Margaret. Eva was born on 13 January, and was baptized on 13 February 1853, in the Catholic Church in Parramatta by Nicholas JOSEPH. Her father was recorded as a labourer of Prospect and because the record was Catholic, her mother's maiden name was recorded. This record does contradict the notation in the Entrance Book that Eva was Protestant but it is believed that this Catholic baptism was atypical and that the whole family was Church of England.
The surname RUSSART has become Anglicised and records for Eva's half-brother, William, are recorded with the surname RUSSETT which is the spelling that has been adopted by William's descendants as neither Eva or her older brother, Jacob, ever had children. Immigration records, supported by the research of descendants, indicate that the father of Eva and her brothers although he was known as Charles, arrived in NSW as Carl. As George Karl or Carl RUSSERT he arrived with his wife, forty-one-year old Margaretha, and his son, fourteen-year-old Jacob, aboard the Beulah in 1849. The Beulah carried vine dressers from Germany. He was thirty-five. Margaretha died as Margaret RUSSET in 1857 and that same year Charles remarried Eva JARY. It is likely that Eva was also know as Josephine and it is also likely that the surname JARY is a mistranscription of the name YOUNG. The Anglican church records for the two marriages of William RUSSETT record his parents in 1878 Charles RUSSETT and Josephine YOUNG and in 1906 they were recorded as Carl RUSSETT and Eva YOUNG.30 He had been born in Smithfield west of Sydney and the 1859 entry on the NSW BDM Index recorded his parents as Charles and Ever E. RUSSERT. Charles died in Parramatta in 1877 and Eva died in Randwick in October 1900.31
Eva's older brother, Jacob, drove the stagecoach for Cobb and Co. between Parramatta and Bathurst and operated public-houses,32 moving steadily west to finally settle in Blayney where he became a publican and alderman. Nothing has yet been found in his obituaries to link to his sister. While Eve married in Orange, it has not been confirmed where she finally lived and she appeared to have keep closer ties with her half-brother, William, rather than her brother, Jacob, who was a generation older.

TOP TIP: For the best tasting fruit, pick it ripe.
Most fruit you buy pre-picked is harvested just before it's ready so it will last longer in the shop. Picking your own means you are in control of quality and can pick fruit which has fully ripened on the plant. This allows the natural sugars to develop, which improves the flavour.
The availability of different fruits will vary so please check the list above to see if your chosen fruit can be picked today. The information provided is updated regularly throughout the picking season.
Picking Tips
Containers are provided with a bag to take away but you can bring your own tub if you prefer. Look round before starting to pick as the best fruit is often further away and many pickers start at the nearest point.
The availability of fruit is not guaranteed, this can vary according to the time of season, time of day, weather and number of customers. Please check we are open before you travel.

Testing Complete
Posted on 27 September, 2010
EstatePad completed it's first cycle of beta and user acceptance today with excellent feedback. Thanks to those who gave up their time to partake in the tests, particularly our offshore testers. Feedback from Apple also has meant that we've changed the way that popover controllers are presented to the user. The facebook and twitter dialogues now appear modally instead of being presented through a popover controller. The most exciting revelation to come out of testing was syncing contacts with the iPad Address Book. Now the user can select whether they want to sync contacts in EstatePad with their Contact Database on the iPad. If the user has set this up with an IMAP account (Gmail and Outlook both allow this) then changes made in EstatePad will flow right through the iPad Address Book and straight to the cloud. This means that your PA could be sitting in the office watching the company gmail account as contacts and notes about those contacts get added from an Open Home. Once OS 4.2 is released for the iPad we'll be doing exactly the same thing for the Calendar – again if this is synced thru IMAP then it'll let you do some really cool stuff. The end result is that the iPad Address Book (and whatever email account it gets its contacts from) will be the master data source. EstatePad will update certain fields (phone numbers, emails, name and notes) in order to keep your contacts up to date but it won't delete information from the Address Book. We'll try and publish a guide about how to setup a free cloud based contact and calendar in no time.
The planned date for submission to the App Store is October 1 and it's looking good to go.

Stop Sending Cover Letters
October 20, 2008
Article courtesy of the Recruiting Blogswap
From: Kevin Donlin
You can learn a lot about how to write a powerful cover letter, not by reading books on cover letters written by employment experts, but by reading your junk mail.
That's right: Start reading the sales letters you get in the mail if you want to write cover letters that produce job interviews.
That's because, as far as is known, nobody ever got rich writing books on cover letters.
But there are plenty of copywriters who earn more than $500,000 per year and $50,000 per letter.
They get this kind of money for writing sales letters that sell in the millions of dollars.
And, since your job search is ultimately a sales and marketing campaign, why not take your cover letter cues from the letters written by highly paid copywriters?
Here are four ways to do it ...
1) Begin with a Name
When's the last time you bought something from a sales letter that began, "Dear Occupant"?
I thought so.
Why not?
Because, if the writer doesn't even know your name, how are they going to understand your situation enough to deserve getting your hard-earned money?
Employers think the same way.
Why should they give you their money -- in the form of salary -- if you start your cover letter, "Dear Sir or Madam"?
So, it behooves you to start every cover letter with the name of the hiring authority. Make as many phone calls as it takes to find that person's name.
Here's a script to use when you call: "I'm writing a letter to the head of your Accounting/Customer Service/Warehousing Department. Could I have the correct spelling for that person's name please?"
2) Know Your Reader, Then Prove It
Your cover letter should show that you researched the employer. The more relevant, specific facts you can include in your letter, the better your odds that at least one of them will connect with the reader.
Every company hiring has problems to solve and opportunities to capitalize on.
Find them by asking the people you know personally and professionally. Good places to start are your email address book, followed by Linkedin.com. You can also try Facebook, MySpace and Zoominfo.com.
Google can provide a mountain of intelligence. Your main task will be to prioritize which facts to include and which to leave out of your cover letter.
In fact, if you don't have room for everything, that can be good!
In your cover letter, include two or three relevant bits of information from your research, then language to this effect: "There isn't room here to discuss all the ways I can contribute to ABC Corp., so please call me today to learn four more areas I can help you with, including the $750,000 opportunity mentioned in yesterday's New York Times."
3) Turn I, Me, My into You, You, You
Read any good sales letter and one of the most common words will always be YOU.
That's because good copywriters understand human nature, and how natural it is to be selfish. We care about ourselves first and foremost.
And, because hiring managers are human, they care more about themselves and their problems than about you and yours.
With that in mind, you can instantly improve any cover letters by making one, simple change: Turn all the mentions of "I, me, mine" into "you, You, YOU."
Example: Don't write, "I'm applying for a job where my skills will be rewarded with the opportunity for me to advance."
Write this: "You will benefit from my 11 years of accounting experience, which will help make a rapid contribution for your clients and your bottom line."
4) End with a Call for Action
The best sales letters don't just peter out with language like, "Please drop us a line if you like our product."
Instead, they ask for specific action, NOW.
Here's the closing from a letter selling mini-trampolines (I bought one, by the way): "Seeing is believing, so send for your Tramp-o-matic 3000 today."
And here's one from a letter selling business book summaries (I bought this one, too): "One quick toll-free phone call -- 1-800-123.4567 -- or an online click to www.abc.net -- and we'll get your first two summaries off to you, plus your eight bonus summaries."
Need more ideas?
Here's a closing you can adapt to your needs: "Please call me today at 555-1212 and I'll tell you how the same sales skills that helped me produce $235,890 in revenue last quarter can quickly boost profits for you."
Or this: "Please call me today at 555-1212 and I'll explain how the same accounting skills that helped me save $35,950 in taxes last quarter can increase profits for you."
So, stop sending cover letters to employers, and start sending sales letters instead.
When you do, you can't help but sell more of them on the idea of hiring you.

Eliza made a Jackson Pollock Inspired Painting!
Here's the story: Eliza was reading one of our favorite children's books, Olivia, to Jonas and me while we were in the car. In the book, Olivia sees a Jackson Pollock at an art museum. She says, "I could do that in about five minutes." When she gets home, she gives it a try by painting all over the wall (an action that is swiftly followed by time out and a bath). Eliza got really frustrated with Olivia.
"You couldn't do that in five minutes!" she said. "Hers doesn't look anything like the one in the museum. His has more colors and is way more complicated!"
We then talked about the colors he used, and how the work is balanced, and how the thick drops and drizzles of paint give it texture… all of which made Eliza want to learn more about how Jackson Pollock did what he did. So we watched this video:
And she decided to make her own.
We walked to Creative Coldsnow to buy some tempura paint and I grabbed a canvas I painted over a long time ago. The canvas was some clearance Hobby Lobby generic art, which I grew out of very quickly. I like that with just one coat, you can kind of see what was underneath it. That's kind of cool. Anyway, it's possible that painting over art you don't love could be cheaper than buying a new blank canvas. Maybe I'll look for more at a thrift store.
Anyway, we grabbed our supplies, I gave Eliza a big t-shirt, and we squirted black paint into a recycled cup (which Jonas later stole: we then started using a bean can).
For the record, it took much more than five minutes.
We're going to go to the Nelson next week so that Eliza can see the Pollock there with fresh eyes!
Eliza used the techniques Pollock used: she drizzled, flicked, and poured. She did a layer of black, a layer of gray (which we mixed), a layer of white (squired right from the bottle), then more black and gray.
The paint is on there really thick, so it will take some time to dry. I gave her black and white thinking that it would go in Jake's and my room, but Eliza called it. I guess she'll have to make another one for us!

Are you going through pain and hardship right now? Just remember this: Whatever you are going through is only part of your story. We know that there is great good coming. How do I know? Because you are royalty! Look at David. The first part of his story was soo difficult even though he had been anointed as King. He had to run for his life and hide in caves for years. It was during this time that he wrote Psalm 42:
"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng.
[Especially this part:]
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." (Psalm 42:1-5 NIV)
David learned something very important in the caves. In the crucible of persecution he learned how to speak to his soul and will it into hope even through tears and gut-wrenching pain. He learned that hope doesn't disappoint there in the caves because he learned to lean on his faith about all else (Romans 5:5). I know that many of you are right there - struggling in those caves with something very serious going on in your life. I have been there too. I have had to declare over and over, "He will never let the righteous fall" through gritted teeth and with tears flowing.
We know that David did live to praise Him. His ultimate story is a triumphant one. He became King. He had riches, honor, blessings, spiritual favor and a closeness with the Father that not many other Kings had in the Old Covenant. He was blessed to be given the honor to be in the lineage of Jesus and (as we can read in Psalms) he was given a spiritual understanding of grace that wasn't known in those days.
Even though it is difficult right now I know that you will also come through. Just like David, THIS IS NOT WHERE YOUR STORY ENDS! You will "Yet praise Him" and just like David, you are part of the everlasting, powerful Kingdom that brings miracles every single day. Your victory is on its way!

County negotiates state approval to move forward with permanent homeless development
KAILUA-KONA — Hawaii County continues to move forward with plans to relocate Camp Kikaha out of the Old Kona Industrial Area and expand it to accommodate several hundred homeless on a permanent basis — but both the process and pace of that change have been altered in recent weeks.
Initially, the county's plan was to access 5 acres of a 35-acre parcel mauka of Queen Kaahumanu Highway and south of Kealakehe Parkway by way of a temporary right of entry permit. Roy Takemoto, executive assistant to Mayor Harry Kim, said doing so would have allowed for a more immediate relocation of some of Kona's homeless, around 100 individuals, because of an environmental assessment requirement exemption that might accompany the permit.
That path was scrapped for two reasons, Takemoto said. The first was that Gov. David Ige was not willing to renew an emergency proclamation concerning homelessness he made in late 2015, which would have eased the way.
The second involved affording North Kona residents more say in the process by conducting an EA before moving any homeless to the area, even to a temporary site situated on 5 acres. An EA for the larger, permanent site was always part of the county's plan.
"We thought we needed to give the community a fair chance to voice opinions on the location, and the environmental assessment is a means to do that," Takemoto explained.
The new route to construction of a permanent homeless site, replete with fully functional living spaces and social services, involves Hawaii County negotiating a memorandum of understanding with the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, which owns the parcel in question, listed on maps as Village 9.
Village 9 is home to about 30 acres of land suitable for development, the other 5 acres designated as a critical habitat. The county will lease 15 acres for its homeless project from the HHFDC, while the HHFDC will utilize the rest for a low-income housing project.
Under the ongoing negotiations, HHFDC would assume the cost of a master plan and an EA for the entire 30 acres, something Takemoto said was a necessity to make the project financially feasible for the county.
Kent Miyasaki, state housing information specialist, said the matter is likely to be decided at the next HHFDC Board meeting, scheduled for Jan. 11.
"I don't see any opposition to approving it," he said. "We've been discussing it for (several months)."
Takemoto said the county's cost projections are around $160,000, according to a proposal from a consultant working on a separate EA for the proposed Kealakehe Regional Park, to be situated adjacent to the joint county/HHFDC housing development.
The original plan might have seen temporary igloo structures, to precede more permanent housing, filled by homeless as early as February or March. Assuming board approval of funding for the revised project, the master plan will likely require three months for development. Takemoto guessed the EA process as taking around another four months after that.
"Assuming everything goes well, we wouldn't be able to do any site work until later summer," he said.
As to whether Camp Kikaha can sustain itself that long, Linda Vandervoort, volunteer camp administrator, said she believes it can.
The open-air encampment currently supports 20 homeless individuals. That number had been as high as the low 30s in the weeks immediately following the mass homeless exodus from Old Kona Airport Park, which saw dozens of homeless evicted from tent cities at the behest of the mayor.
Vandervoort said a few unruly homeless were ultimately forced to leave the camp but after some hiccups, most adjusted. Since the camp took shape in August, 10 homeless people have moved on to emergency housing next door at HOPE Services Hawaii. Some of them have moved onward in the process toward permanent housing, while two of the 10 have already been placed in permanent homes.
Camp Kikaha is not accepting any new tenants, Vandervoort explained.
"I feel right now, with the amount of funding I'm allotted and the resources we have, 20 is the magic number to work with," she said.
The county canceled its security contract with RMT Enterprises Security Division for Camp Kikaha near the end of October, the same time it canceled the company's security patrols at Old A., Vandervoort said. The county cited cost as the primary factor.
Vandervoort added that before the cancellation came about, security was phased back and the campers were made accountable to police themselves, at least in part.
Under her supervision, and with more or less daily visits from the Hawaii Police Department's Community Policing section, the homeless still residing there have managed and comported themselves well, she said.
"The people in the camp have become accustomed to what's expected of them," Vandervoort explained.

Last night's Ferry Dinner strikes me as stereotypically "vegan" in nature—tempeh, nutritional yeast, coconut oil, roasted broccoli and brussels sprouts, and brown rice? Truly enjoyed only while wearing sustainably sourced hemp t-shirts and sipping homebrewed kombucha, this meal characterizes the vegan food envisioned by non-vegans (only without the ubiquitous kale). However, seeing as this meal proved hearty, satisfying, texturally intriguing, and well-seasoned, I'm perfectly happy to fall into the clichéd vegan role for a night.
My astoundingly intelligent housemate Allie, accompanied by visiting friend of Ferry Matt, produced last night's dinner of tempeh crusted in nutritional yeast and tamari then pan-fried in coconut oil; peppery roasted broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots, and garlic; and simple short-grain brown rice.
Since Ferry does not enjoy communal dinners on neither Friday nor Saturday, tomorrow's post will not feature a Ferry Dinner. However, you, dear readers, can expect an equally compelling post regaling my experiences at Vassar's freshman activities fair. As co-president of the Vassar Animal Rights Coalition, I'll staff a table at the fair to introduce freshmen to the wonders of VARC, as well as provide them with delectable vegan yummies including banana bread, chewy apricot-almond oatmeal cookies, and crunchy sticky truffle bites. After the fair, we'll take a group of freshmen on a walk around Vassar led by vegan forager Zaac Chaves, who will introduce us to all of the edible flora on campus. We'll finish the day with a locally sourced vegan picnic of tomato-watermelon salad and zucchini bread. Oh yes.
Until next time, Ali.
