Commenting on European surveys showing that Croatians were among those EU citizens who trusted their state institutions and local self-government bodies the least, Public Administration Minister Ivan Kovacic said on Thursday that the communication between citizens and local self-government bodies would be improved as part of a public administration reform.
"The public administration reform is aimed at improving the communication between employees in local self-government bodies and citizens," Kovacic said after a government session, adding that regulations on the use of official cars would be reconsidered and better proposals regarding travel order forms put forward.
A survey by the European Research Centre for Anti-Corruption and State-Building (ERCAS) on citizens' trust in national institutions, presented earlier in the day, shows that in the period from 2008 to 2013 Croatians' trust in the national parliament and regional bodies of representation dropped by 4%.
"In eastern European countries citizens' trust in state institutions has been constantly low, with only 6% of Slovenians trusting their government, and 14% of Croatians trusting theirs, while in Sweden the level of trust is 69%. The key generators of distrust are insecurity and evidence of corruption. There is no trust without transparency. Only when citizens become confident that public policies are successful will the trends reverse," said Information Commissioner Anamarija Musa.
Of all EU citizens, Croatians have the highest perception of the privileged treatment of some social groups regarding the availability of public services such as healthcare, education and police protection.
"As many as 52% of citizens believe that some social groups have better access to education, 63% believe this is so with medical services, and 54% believe this is so with regard to police protection," Musa said, adding that this was the reason why citizens felt distrust towards the government.
Ivan Kopric of the Zagreb Faculty of Law said some progress had been made with regard to the public's access to information, transparency of financial documents and the public's involvement in the drafting of the state budget.
"However, we are aware that scandals break out every day that reduce citizens' trust in the public sector, in public administration and the political system in general. Politicians should be doing exactly the opposite – strengthening political principles, promoting professionalism and the efficiency of the public sector," Kopric said.
"A lot remains to be done, some laws should be changed. Politicians should be more open to citizens and deal with problems of local communities," said Kopric.
An expert on European integration processes, Igor Vidacak, spoke about the central web portal for consultation with the public, which, he said, had more than 6,000 registered users.
"Results of consultations on every act on which consultations are held are visible. However, of the comments submitted, those of a technical nature are more frequently accepted, but less so comments that change the substance of certain options," said Vidacak./IBNA

JEFFERSON CITY � State Register of Lands Sample Orr denounced the Emancipation Proclamation, special taxes on secessionists and suspension of habeas corpus in a campaign speech at the Cole County Courthouse.
Orr, a delegate to the State Convention from Greene County, was a prominent Unionist who previously embraced efforts to suppress the rebellion. He was narrowly defeated in 1860 as an independent Unionist candidate for governor against Claiborne Fox Jackson.
The speech was marked by a "blazing secession" sentiment, several witnesses reported to the military authorities. The Missouri Statesman reported that Orr declared "the proclamation of President Lincoln to liberate the slaves was unwise, impolitic and uncalled for, and because he expressed doubts of the ability of the Administration to carry out, lawfully, the purposes of the proclamation."
He called the special assessments "unconstitutional and tyrannical, and counseled resistance to it."
Orr, who was not a candidate for any office on the ballot, urged resistance to both the Emancipation Proclamation and the special tax assessments.
Under martial law decrees in Missouri, local assessment boards were busy totaling damage claims from Unionists who had suffered during the summer of guerrilla warfare. The boards were supposed to identify known secessionists and impose special taxes to make restitution. In addition, the boards made assessments to support the needs of the Enrolled Missouri Militia, a state force that the federal government was unwilling to support.
The witnesses who heard Orr's speech included several officers of the 42nd Enrolled Missouri Militia, a force made up of men from Cole County. The witnesses were Lt. Col. Herman Bruns, Capt. (Jacob) Steininger and Capt. Matthew Flesch, as well as Allen Richardson and William Curry, the candidates for the Missouri House seat from Cole County.
Orr was ordered to stay in Jefferson City while authorities waited for instructions on whether to arrest him.
ST. LOUIS � James Vaughn, an alleged bushwhacker from Boone County being held in the Gratiot Street Prison, was ordered moved to Jefferson City for a trial before a military commission.
Military authorities also released James Powell of Callaway County on parole and a $1,500 bond.
CALLAWAY COUNTY � A friendly-fire incident claimed the life of Sherwin Hemstreet, son of a Dr. M. Hemstreet of Moniteau County, the Weekly California News reported.
Hemstreet was a private in a command camped on the farm of a Mr. Ferguson. The report does not give the name of the unit, and no soldier fitting the first and last name can be located.
After dark, a sentry fired at Hemstreet while he was near the barn on Ferguson's property. The shooting appeared to have been a mistake, the newspaper reported.

We hope the LMDE team (hallowed be thy names !-) will soon rectify this discontinuity. Meanwhile, LMDE users have a few workarounds (please let me know if more can be added) for installing LMDE with LVM2 or LUKS (and that's a Boolean "or"). In historical order (IIUC):
- See hashstat's manual process from this LMDE1 tutorial. Perhaps someone could check to see how it works for LMDE2, and revise as necessary? (Note initial LMDE2 releases for Cinnamon and MATE.) Again, please lemme know how that works, and I'll update this tutorial accordingly.
- Not long after hashstat published the above, Pepas began to automate the procedure. Because Pepa's code was not in a repository (making distribution of and collaboration on code difficult), Tom Roche put his then-current code into this project and began updating there. (Your `git` pull requests are welcome!)
- Pepas now has a git repo.

City's different, smarter approach this summer
Another busy, expensive summer of transfer dealings saw City once again dominate Sky Sports News and newspaper and website headlines. (And to think I can remember a time when I'd get excited over City making an appearance in the main panel on Soccernet.)
Last summer was "fun" — bringing in names from top six Premier League clubs like Carlos Tévez from that club out in Stretford, Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Touré from Arsenal, Gareth Barry from Aston Villa, and Joleon Lescott from Everton. Each one of those was supposed to help City while weakening a competitor, and while the loss of all five of those players was felt in some form at their former clubs, the impact varied wildly.
United definitely could have used Tévez last season and Arsène Wenger's inability to replace Adebayor was a factor in the Gunners' failed title challenge. However, Wenger did bring in an excellent replacement for Touré in the form of the much cheaper Thomas Vermaelen, while David Moyes (Johnny Heitinga) and Martin O'Neill (Stuart Downing) both managed to eventually make a tidy profit off of City while downgrading those positions only slightly.
In the end, with the exception of Tévez, it felt like City's summer deals may have done more for some of their rivals' bottom lines than they did for their own squad. Mark Hughes had placed a huge emphasis on Premier League experience, but it could be argued that in the case of three of the six, he essentially was buying players deemed surplus to requirements at other clubs at a considerable markup.
By comparison, this summer's transfer activity seems much more about improving City than weakening others. Whereas last summer, all six signings were from English clubs, City went the continental route this time around. As a result, the prices weren't nearly as inflated and there aren't the same concerns about funding rivals' war chests. It's fitting that the only transfer fee deemed excessive by most observers was James Milner at essentially £24m — not coincidentally the lone English player and the lone domestic purchase.
After last season, I wanted to see the club upgrade at both fullback positions and add a creative midfielder and at least one attacking player. Left back was the biggest concern, as Wayne Bridge had a rough 2009-2010 season on and off the pitch. When he wasn't hurt, he wasn't particularly impressive.
Right back was a source of angst as well, as Micah Richards has all the physical attributes — athleticism, pace, and strength — you'd want, but has a nasty habit of switching off and can't cross a ball to save his life. Pablo Zabaleta can get forward and send in a cross, but his lack of pace gives him problems against quicker opposing wings, and he commits too many fouls in dangerous places on the pitch as a result.
Meanwhile, Stephen Ireland's regression meant there was a paucity of attack-minded midfielders at the club. And the fact Benjani somehow appeared seven times for City tells you all you need to know about the lack of depth in the strike force.
I was delighted when Jérôme Boateng was lined up as the first signing. As we saw in the World Cup, the versatile young German can play across the back four. At City, his pace, defensive prowess, and ability to get forward make him the best option at right back in the squad. Despite being someone who appreciates sample sizes, Boateng's scintillating cross to Gareth Barry in the preseason friendly against Valencia was all I needed to see to be convinced he is the answer at right back.
And it was great business at £10.4m — compare that to the £18m Liverpool paid for the defenseless Glen Johnson.
City caught a huge break when Pep Guardiola decided he preferred Sergio Busquets' disruptive abilities in Barcelona's midfield to Yaya Touré's box-to-box play. Unwilling to accept second-choice status, the Ivorian opted to leave the club, and Barça's loss is now City's gain. Having watched Touré week in and week out at Barcelona, I think he instantly rivals Michael Essien for the title of Best All-Around Defensive Midfielder in the Premier League.
The younger of the two Touré brothers at City is what Barry was promised to be, but never quite delivered on: a true box-to-box player who will be the link between the defense and attack. He is an absolute mountain of a man, but also blessed with great pace, a great eye for a killer ball, and remarkable close control in tight quarters. Touré also can play a number of roles, as shown by his impressive display at center back in Barcelona's Champions League final victory last May. The deal with Barcelona happened just as the Catalán club was going through serious short-term financial difficulty, which might explain why he cost City a relatively meager £24m.
There were plenty of jokes about how Roberto Mancini would play all those defensive midfielders, with Barry, Nigel de Jong, and Patrick Vieira already at the club, but so far Touré versatility has allowed Mancini to play three of them together. I'm not sure he'll be able to do so all season, and Barry may soon find himself on the substitutes' bench to start matches. I think when all is said and done, his signing may rank up there with that of Tévez in terms of impact on the club.
The move that seemed to turn the most heads this summer was the signing of David Silva. With Valencia seemingly teetering on the brink of financial oblivion for years now, it was a question of when and where he would go, not if. Real Madrid reportedly had been keen on the Spanish star and United have been long-time admirers, but in the end it was City who snatched him up, and for respectable £24m — far less than Valencia's previous reported asking prices.
Now that he's at City, the naysayers appear to have landed on his small size as the rationale for their pessimism about the move, ignoring the fact he's renowned for his toughness and fight in Spain. My concerns about Silva stem from his recent injury record and the fact he didn't look to be in very good form this summer in South Africa. He's been ineffective in his preseason and early season appearances for City so far, but he did provide fans a glimpse of his abilities with some sensational dribbling and cutbacks that nearly resulted in an unbelievable individual goal in last week's Europa League qualifier.
While most of us still think of Silva as a left-sided player from when he burst on a scene a couple of years ago, he's been playing a more central role — almost as a withdrawn striker — for Valencia lately. I'm imagining him slotting in the middle of a three-man attacking midfield behind Tévez. I expect this one to pay off eventually as well.
Left back was addressed with the signing of Aleksandar Kolarov from Lazio on July 24, following a somewhat protracted ordeal. José Mourinho since has come out and said he wanted the Serb at Real Madrid, but that he was unable to compete financially with City. This seems a bit odd since City reportedly got their man for an un-Earth-shattering £16m. Considering that the Madrid club paid a reported £28m for Karim Benzema last summer, you'd think they could come up with that kind of cash.
Thanks to the ankle injury suffered in the first half of the opener, we haven't seem much of Kolarov in a City shirt. He looked incredibly impressive in his preseason debut against Valencia, causing the opposing defense all sorts of problems with some great crosses, and his corners and free kicks look lethal. I fully expect Kolarov to supplant Bridge at left back and emerge as one of the better players in the Premier League at the position, giving Mancini a pair of fullbacks who defend well and also contribute nicely to the attack.
The strike force got its upgrade in the form of Mario Balotelli last month, as the young Italian star was reunited with the manager who gave him his senior debut at Inter Milan back in 2007 at age 17. After famously not getting on with Mourinho, Mancini could be the father figure the youngster needs to mature, as that's the only aspect of his game in question.
In 40 Champions League and Serie A starts and 33 substitute appearances, Balotelli netted 22 times and recorded 13 assists for during his three seasons playing for the Milanese club. His £24m price tag might seem a bit high for a somewhat unproven player, but such is his reputation that I don't recall seeing a single eyebrow raised at the fee paid by City.
Like most of his fellow summer signings, Balotelli is versatile, able to play all over an attacking line. From the Inter matches I've watched the last couple of seasons and the brief glimpse of him we got at Timişoara, he's at home playing out on the wing, which means he could fill the Craig Bellamy role as a forward playing out wide. He has great pace like Bellamy, but that might be where the comparisons end, as he is much bigger and stronger than the Welshman.
Free of the mindboggling racist abuse he endured in Italy, I expect his contributions on the pitch to get much more attention than his behavior, which usually was not the case with Inter. Most people seem to regard him as a future star of the game, and at age 20, he could just be scraping the surface of his talents.
The sixth and final signing came with the much-anticipated end to the James Milner transfer saga on August 18, with Ireland and £16m heading down the M6 in the opposite direction to Villa Park. After hearing about this one nearly all summer, the Milner-to-City fatigue and Ireland's outrageous, headline-grabbing introductory press conference both nearly made Milner's signing a secondary story. In the end, most of the reaction tended to be disapproval at the estimated £24m City paid for the young England starter, once Ireland's estimated £8m valuation was factored in.
Milner might seem a bit unnecessary after the capture of Silva, but I think they're complementary players. Milner plays the game like a predator, aggressively taking on markers and using power to his advantage, while Silva's more about guile and slipperiness. If you're starting to sense a theme here, Milner brings a great deal of versatility to the table, as he can play on either wing and also centrally.
When Tévez is deployed as a long striker and City don't have aerial threats in the box, Mancini can play Milner and Adam Johnson inside-out, with the right-footed Milner on the left and the left-footed Johnson on the right. When Adebayor and/or Roque Santa Cruz are in the game, Mancini can go more traditional and switch them back to their natural wing positions for crossing purposes. The two of them can and do switch wings during matches, which we saw on City's opening goal against Liverpool, where Johnson played Milner through on the right side.
In the end, I'm okay with the price paid for Milner, as I was incredibly impressed with him nearly every time I saw him play last season, and I think he brings something different to the table at Eastlands.
The best thing about this summer's crop of signings for City is that there doesn't appear to be any Santa Cruz — an overpriced player brought in more out of familiarity and with a questionable medical history. In some sense, the man nicknamed "Crocky" by City fans almost is like a new signing himself, given that he played all of 810 minutes for City in last season's injury-marred campaign — the equivalent of nine full games for the mathematically challenged.
The only thing seemingly missing from this summer would be a front-line striker. City are an upgrade at center back and a top striker away from really giving Chelsea a run for their money. I wanted to see either Zlatan Ibrahimović or Edin Džeko brought in, but until someone along the lines of Fernando Torres arrives next summer, we'll have to hope Adebayor can stop sulking and live up to his potential.
It should prove another interesting season for City fans, with another batch of new faces in the squad. Hopefully we see a better return than last season's additions (apart from Tévez) were able to provide.

Add or Edit a Box Business Source
Members of the Administrators and Content Managers built-in groups can add the content of users' Box enterprise accounts to a Coveo Cloud organization. In a Coveo-powered search interface, the source content is accessible to either everyone or specific users as determined by source permissions (see Content Security). By default, a Box Business source starts a refresh every three hours to retrieve content changes (addition, modification, or deletion).
The Box Business Legacy connector has been deprecated for security reasons. If you still have a Box Business Legacy source, it will still work, but we recommend that you create a Box Business source to replace it.
The difference between the two connectors lies in how you identify your Box account when creating the source: with a Box Business Legacy, you entered a Box Enterprise ID, whereas with a Box Business source, a JSON configuration containing credentials is required. Moreover, Box Business Legacy sources provided a Coveo application API key to enter in your Box application to authorize Coveo. With the new connector, this is no longer required.
Source Features Summary

Note 1: By default, shared link permissions are ignored, meaning that an item only shared with a link is only visible by its owner in your Coveo search interface. Contact Coveo Support for help on how to take shared link permissions into account.
Add or Edit a Box Business Source
If not already in the Add/Edit a Box Business Source panel, access the panel:
To add a source, in the main menu, under Content, select Sources > Add source button > Box > Box Business.
To edit a source, in the main menu, under Content, select Sources, and then double-click the desired source row.
In the Add/Edit a Box Business Source panel, in the Configuration tab, enter appropriate parameter values:
Source name
A descriptive name for your source under 255 characters (not already in use for another source in this organization).
You can't change the source name once it's created.
Enter the Box application credentials in JSON format (see Use an Application Config File).
Click Choose File to select a JSON format credentials file to upload (see Use an Application Config File).
If you still have a Box Business Legacy source, an enterprise ID is required instead. In the Box Enterprise ID box, enter the unique identifier that's displayed in your Box Enterprise Admin Console, in the Account & Billing tab.
Character optical recognition (OCR)
Check this box if you want Coveo Cloud to extract text from image files or PDF files containing images (see Enable Optical Character Recognition). OCR-extracted text is processed as item data, meaning that it's fully searchable and will appear in the item Quick View (see Search Result Quick View).
Since the OCR feature is available at an extra charge, you must first contact Coveo Sales to add this feature to your organization license. You can then enable it for your source.
When adding a source, if you have more than one logical (non-Elasticsearch) index in your organization, select the index in which the retrieved content will be stored (see Leverage Many Coveo Indexes). If your organization only has one index, this drop-down menu isn't visible and you have no decision to make.
To add a source storing content in an index different than
default, you need the View access level on the Logical Index domain (see Privilege Management and Logical Indexes Domain).
Once the source is added, you can't switch to a different index.
In the Users to Include section:
Select All if you want to make all your managed Box accounts searchable.
Select Specific, and then, in the User emails box that appears, enter the user email addresses corresponding to the Box accounts you want to make searchable.
When you want users to be included as separate items, add the
IndexUsershidden parameter and set it to
truein the
parameterssection of the source JSON configuration (see Source JSON Modification Examples). The default value is
In the Content Security tab, select who will be able to access the source items through a Coveo-powered search interface. For details on this parameter, see Content Security.
In the Access tab, determine whether each group and API key can view or edit the source configuration (see Understanding Resource Access):
In the Access Level column, select View or Edit for each available group.
On the left-hand side of the tab, if available, click Groups or API Keys to switch lists.
If you remove the Edit access level from all the groups of which you're a member, you won't be able to edit the source again after saving. Only administrators and members of other groups that have Edit access on this resource will be able to do so. To keep your ability to edit this resource, you must grant the Edit access level to at least one of your groups.
Optionally, consider editing or adding mappings between Box item metadata and fields in your Coveo Cloud organization (see Adding and Managing Source Mappings).
You can only manage mapping rules once you build the source (see Refresh, Rescan, or Rebuild Sources).
Complete your source addition or edition:
Click Add Source/Save when you want to save your source configuration changes without starting a build/rebuild, such as when you know you want to do other changes soon.
On the Sources page, you must click Start initial build or Start required rebuild in the source Status column to add the source content or make your changes effective, respectively.
Click Add and Build Source/Save and Rebuild Source when you're done editing the source and want to make changes effective.
Back on the Sources page, you can review the progress of your Box source addition or modification (see Adding and Managing Sources).
Optionally, review the source refresh schedule.
By default, your Box Business source is refreshed every three hours to quickly make your Box Business content changes searchable (additions, modifications, or deletions). When your Box account content doesn't change frequently, consider increasing the refresh time interval (e.g., every day) to optimize resource consumption (see Edit a Source Schedule).
What's Next?
Review your source update schedule and optionally change it so that it better fits your needs (see Edit a Source Schedule). By default, your content is refreshed every three hours.

Most Annoying Things About Grojband HatersI admit it. We Grojband fans can get annoying. But that doesn't make the haters perfect angels. In fact, the Grojband haters have really gotten on my nerves these past few months. And believe it or not, it's not because they hate a show that I like. Here are the reasons why Grojband haters can be just as bad as us fans. Thanks to ChatNoir18 for giving me the idea!
The Top Ten
Probably the most annoying thing about any hater is how they always type like they're shouting. Even if you really hate something, you don't have to write every single sentence like you're screaming. It's just a cartoon. Nothing to get upset about. - regularponyfan09
I didn't know this show was still relevant. - Skullkid755
You mean like Frozen Caps Lock Girl? - TwilightKitsune
I definitely agree with that
An example is when they say us fans won't stop talking about Grojband but then they keep talking about how much they hate it. - regularponyfan09
All Chat did was share her opinion, and she gets bullied for it? These kind of haters need to get a life - MLPFan
Yep. Instead of forgetting about the show and moving on, these haters choose to waste their life making fun of it and the people who like it. One of them even has a terrible blog dedicated to hating it. - regularponyfan09
Like my friend ChatNoirFan18. She loves the show but it seems every time she tries to share her opinion, she gets bombarded with hate comments. - regularponyfan09
Whoever bullies ChatNoirFan18 seriously needs to respect opinions. ChatNoirFan18, don't let these bullies stop you from liking the show or being in the fandom. This reminds me of what happened to TwilightKitsune, stay strong.
I just saw his hate posts on my favorite show, Regular Show. That just proves on how much of a basement-dwelling manchild he is.
@regularponyfan09 Oh you have no idea how much SGGB triggers me at any possible term. Not only he is a nostalgiatard, but he is also proven to be a Cartoon Justice Warrior (CJW) who decides to ruin everything for everyone else and take over opinions of others. Keep in mind, CJWs constantly attack or address anything they find inappropriate or offensive and stating their facts (overrated, slang, cursing, unlikable characters, no plot) from when a new show first came out and throughout the time to where a certain show has improved by valuable points (character development, toned-down humor, plot-heavy decisions). In fact, they typically repeat same points all over again from whoever is the most popular blogger or commentator of the moment so they could hide that to build up a really pathetic excuse and claim them it called opinion when absolutely nothing about an opinion that it fact and nothing else. In other words, people like to complaining about certain cartoon all days long and all ...more
And when this happens, they type in all caps. - regularponyfan09
You have no idea how many times I've heard this argument. To haters, it's the most common reason to hate Grojband, even though it's not true. - regularponyfan09
Wait, how is it a Phineas and Ferb rip off? Grojband is more musicial, while Phineas and Ferb focuses on adventures more.
I honestly don't know. They say it's a Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi ripoff too, even though they have nothing in common, other than featuring rock bands. - regularponyfan09
It is so annoying!
I am a fan of Grojband and I do think The Loud House and hi hi puffy amiyu are better shows but I think it comes from personal taste
Yeah I agree with you on that one.
That's because they ARE. - SpaceGoofsGeekerBoy
The Contenders
Hey! I'll have you know that MY list shows how awful Grojband's fandom is. - SpaceGoofsGeekerBoy
Look at SpaceGoofsGeekerBoy's Most Annoying Things About Grojband Fans list to see what I mean. - regularponyfan09
Apparently he is because he has a permanent tumor full of nostalgia inside his brain that can't be removed. He'll never change.
SpaceGoofsGeekerBoy submitted this. Is he criticizing himself? - regularponyfan09
Grojband is very hated on this site indeed. I see lots of hate for this show when it is not bad.
There was even one where they call a Grojband and Gravity Falls collab fanart stupid
They do? - legendary1234
Thank you, regularponyfan09.
I've seen so many comments from haters that say "if you like Grojband, you are wrong and you need to grow up" when really it's them that need to grow up and leave us fans alone. They always say we act like babies but in reality, they're the ones acting like babies. - regularponyfan09
Or how about a regular picture where they say that Grojband loves Teen Titans Go and the Power Puff Girls remake
Or how about calling a Grojband and Gravity Falls fanart stupid
And even a picture of a sniper rifle shooting Laney and the loud sisters beating up Laney and even the worst one where Laney is killed and it says kill Laney Penn. there was even a vote saying which is better Laney or West Germany
@legendary1234 True. In fact, most of the pictures on that blog are just Trina scaring a random character. No originality anywhere. - regularponyfan09
For example, on the Grojband haters blog, someone posted a picture of Laney and Kin singing next to each other and everyone was like "what?! Laney and Kin are dating?! I thought she liked Corey?! " So singing next to someone means you're in love with them? And they say the show itself doesn't make sense. - regularponyfan09
Sure, it's fine that some people hate Grojband but they're thinking that Grojband is the worst cartoon of all time when really it isn't.

On June 13, Senators Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Jack Reed (D-RI), along with original cosponsors Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) and Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), introduced the Family Self Sufficiency Act (FSS Act) to improve HUD's Family Self Sufficient Program (FSS Program), which is designed to help families receiving housing assistance achieve economic stability and mobility.
Since its establishment, the FSS Program has enabled families living in public housing or using Housing Choice Vouchers to access workforce training and other resources to pursue higher paying employment opportunities. Families enrolled in the FSS Program receive an interest-bearing escrow account, empowering them to save and apply that savings to work-related purchases.
The FSS Act seeks to improve the program by adding important supportive services regarding educational attainment and financial literacy, extending eligibility requirements, and streamlining administration of the program.

PICTURED: A Lincoln Zephyr was set on fire Wednesday about 10 p.m. on Cameron and Front street at A-1 Bowden Ford. PHOTO BY OFELIA GARCIA HUNTER
Fires reported in a one-mile stretch of town
Ofelia Garcia Hunter, Alice Echo-News Journal
The Alice Fire Department remained busy as they responded to five separate fires set in a one-mile stretch of town that began at 10 p.m. Wednesday, officials said.
"I think they are all related," Fire Chief Dean Van Nest said. "Someone is trying to burn Alice. All of the fires are suspicious."
The first fire began just after 10 p.m. and calls came in to the police department dispatch every three minutes for a total of six calls, one of which fire officials ruled out as part of the string of set fires.
The fires destroyed a $40,000 Lincoln Zephyr at A-1 Bowden Ford on Cameron and Front streets, a shed in another location, a dumpster fire, a brush fire in a neighborhood area and an old structure storage area that belonged to Entex, fire officials said.
The locations of the fires were within a one-mile stretch off of St. Mary's Street, Cameron and Front streets, Sain Drive and Woodlawn, next to Popeyes on Main Street and another on Sain Drive next to Edward's Furniture.
Fire fighters worked until midnight today to put out the fires. San Diego and Orange Grove volunteer fire departments, Alice police and the Jim Wells County sheriff's department assisted with the fires.
"It's a trend," Patrick Thomas, fire marshal, said about the late-night fires. "They are all intentionally set fires."
No injuries were reported on any of the fires, fire officials said.
Thomas said the fire marshal's office, along with the police crime investigation division, had several leads they are going to follow. Fire officials urge residents with any information about the fires to call Crime Stoppers of South Texas, Inc. at 664-STOP.
Tipsters can also log in at www.stxtipscom and fill out tip information through the Internet. Tipsters may be eligible for cash rewards up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and or indictment of the suspect or suspects. All calls remain anonymous.
"We will prosecute to the fullest," Van Nest said.

Our Programs
Students and enthusiasts of martial arts have many reasons for their interest. Some are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to add discipline and self control to their lives, while still others are concerned about safety and self-defense.
Whether you are interested in our programs for mental or physical well being, Tien Tae Jitsu offers a number of programs that will fit your developmental needs and your busy schedule as well.
Tien Tae Jitsu
Tien Tae Jitsu (TTJ) is a complete and eclectic martial arts system with an emphasis on self-defense. It combines the elegance and graceful beauty of Tien Shan P'ai Kung Fu with the speed, power, and leaping kicks of Tae Kwon Do, and the flowing movements of Jujitsu.
TTJ is family-orientated martial art. It has something to offer all ages and all family members!
Self Defense for Teens & Adults
It seems not a day goes by that we don't hear some terrible story of a person getting attacked, abducted, or worse.
This weekly class teaches techniques that are both easy to remember, and execute. No special skills are required, and anyone can participate - regardless of their fitness level.
This program is also offered by request as a 6 hour introductory course. After completion of this course, participants may choose to further their self defense skills by completing the intermediate and advanced self defense classes, or by enrolling in our weekly class.
This course is offered quarterly, and also can be conducted for groups by appointment at a discounted rate.
We have both community service and fee based programs available to groups upon request. Please contact us for information.
T'ai Chi
Tien T'ai Chi is a gentle, flowing yet powerful art. It is great exercise for students of all ages and physical abilities.
T'ai Chi can provide numerous health benefits including increased strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, lowered blood pressure, improved circulation, aid for arthritis sufferers, and stress relief.
Advanced Students continue on to T'ai Chi Chuan, the soft, yet powerful self-defense applications of the T'ai Chi form.
This class is an excellent workout for both teens and adults. It offers cardio and strength training as well as improved balance and flexibility, and is appropriate for beginner through advanced students.
You don't have to be in shape to get in shape! Learn proper blocking, striking, and kicking techniques while you also get a great cardiovascular workout.
Home Defense
Home Invasions are the fastest growing crime in the US! What would you do if a dangerous criminal invaded your home? What if there were two or more intruders? What if they were armed with knives or guns?
Register for Tien Tae Jitsu's four-hour Home Invasion Plan of Action course and learn how to plan and prepare to protect you and your family.
Home Invasion Plan of Action covers details of a layered home defense, various plans of action, and how to customize your own plan of action unique to your home and household.
Private Lessons
Also offering private Self Defense, TTJ, Kickboxing, or T'ai Chi lessons.

Thank you to Karen, Happening on Happiness, Dave in Ireland, The angry parsnip, Simple living, Jan, MendingMakingCrafting, Gill, my friend Mary in Bath and Diana who is overseas somewhere for all the comments about my books and bookshelves. Dave has suggested some more books by Tom Hodgkinson for me to add to my library request list. Gill suggests leaving a tin of polish and a duster laying around so that if anyone calls in it looks as if you were just about to start cleaning, that's a better idea than using candles so you can't see the dust.
The reason I have the books tidy is so I know where to find each one and we always used to have them level with the front of the shelf when I worked in libraries. I do the same now to stop the layer of dust that would soon collect in front of the books. Having the books forward means the dust is behind them Out Of Sight!
Right, now the next photo is down on the proper bookshelves and under the Miss Read we have
my books about money saving and penny pinching. ( Probably would have saved money by NOT buying them!) I think most of these have come from Amazon over the last 15 years, several are from the States. 'Swimming with Piranha makes you hungry' by Colin Turner is a book that really gets to the heart of the matter.
On the same shelf are my overflow cookery books. The rest are in the kitchen.
Below the money saving books are the first of my WWII collection, these are the most recent acquisitions, Amazon and charity shops again and some are presents from the last couple of years.
Then, laying down on the other half of that shelf are the Oxford Dictionaries and a few other recently acquired large books. The dictionaries come from my late Dads house when we cleared it out. These are all sitting waiting for a more permanent shelf. Somewhere?
That's another 50 books ( running total 120)
Then below are the other two shelves of my WWII collection, which have been gathered, mostly secondhand, over the last 20 or so years. There are so many good books here it's hard to pick out favourites.
There are a few amongst these that have not been read, one day I shall get round to them. If I was forced to pick one as a favourite then probably 'Few Eggs and no Oranges' by Vere Hodgson is a really good read.
Add those up and that's another 64 so 184 so far, and I'm not even to the bottom of the first bookcase. Maybe we do have more than 1,000 after all.

A lovely bright Tuesday morning so two lots of washing were out drying on the line today as the forecast is for colder, nasty weather later in the week. ( And Who left a tissue in a pocket?!! I blame him for not checking before he puts his clothes in the dirty washing bin, he blames me for not checking before I load the washing machine, Hmmm!) The day turned grey just after lunch and the washing was put to dry over the Rayburn.
Col was out for an hour doing some odd jobs for someone up the road and I was in the kitchen doing a bake of cakes for the freezer to keep him happy over the next few weeks. This afternoon he has been doing more of the conifer hedge. He has got round the ban ( caused by the hardly-a-heart-attack) on using a hedge-cutter by borrowing a lightweight one that has a strap so it hangs over his shoulder like our strimmer. He says this is much easier to use than something that requires being held up in the air with both hands. I just hope he is right, I really do NOT need him stuck in hospital again. - Or worse!
Back Soon

Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering professor Eric Cochran was honored for receiving the Award for Achievement in Intellectual Property at the recent university awards ceremony.
The award recognizes individuals or teams of faculty or professional and scientific staff for outstanding university-based achievements in producing intellectual property. Chris Williams, professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering, who worked in partnership with Cochran in developing Iowa State's Bio-Polymer Processing Facility at the university's BioCentury Research Farm, also received the award, which related to developments at that facility. The significance of the intellectual property is demonstrated by its being licensed and used by industries both within and outside of the state of Iowa.
Cochran, who is also the department's director of graduate education, focuses research on polymeric systems and polymer chemistry. He was the driving force behind the recent launching of the department's Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) device in Sweeney Hall, which will aid not only chemical engineering research, but research by other departments and other universities. He received his B.S. in chemical and biological engineering from Iowa State in 1998, and joined the department as faculty member in 2006.
It was the second award for the team of Cochran and Williams in a week, as they were also honored at the College of Engineering Convocation for a patent process at the Bio-Polymer facility.
CBE congratulates Cochran on this honor and wishes him continued success as a researcher, educator and mentor.
See the full list of College of Engineering award recipients at the September 14 ceremony here.

Just like the 5th Floor of the Demon Tower, there are 8 seals and every monsters in the area has a chance to drop the unlock key. However, you must remove the pillars in the correct order. If you mistake the key will disappear. Team working and good memory are necessary.
Just like the 8th Floor of the Demon Tower, there is 1 seal called Hell Gate. Every monsters in the area has a chance to drop the Hell Gear. Use it on the Hell Gate to end the trial. However the Hell Gears dropped may not be the real ones.
Kill the monster Ultra Agni.
Break the Metin of the Red Dragon.

- You will have to obliterate any monsters in both trials.
Once every trial is done you may procede to the Boss Room using the Castle Gate.
Kill Yamachon the Flame Lord to end the dungeon.
- Along with other drops, Yamachon may drop the rare Flame Keystone used to create the new Spiritual Stones
Kind Regards,
The Tec Interactive Team.

Over the past few months, I have been driving across the country from one hackerspace to the next riding the wave of creativity surging from the Maker Movement. So far my journey has taken me into 9 states, 14 cities, and 17 hacker hubs. My goal is to document the emerging trends that are surfacing around the idea of a hackerspace.
Classes are being taught, businesses are created, locks are being picked, and it is all happening in these community-oriented workspaces. Interwoven between all these locations is the potential for expansive peer learning and knowledge sharing. Connecting these spaces across the world will increase the collaboration of the talented individuals that are working there. Taking 'Hacker Trips' will help to view the movements as they occur.
Below are a few photos taken at some of the hackerspaces that I have visited during this extended trip.

To say that I find Mkamboi Mwakale enthralling would honestly be a disservice to her and what she has accomplished so far. Looking at how far Saru Organics has come, considering they're clocking a year of business with her partners, is a testament to what happens when your customers agree with what your doing. They even have their footprints set in stone in Uganda!

Saru Organics! . Uganda! . . Tujja Tujja!! . . Thank you @kinksandkurls_expoug for this amazing opportunity to reach out to our Uganda sisters 😘😘😘. Countdown begins, Here we come! Our very first expo beyond borders, glory to God🙌🙌🙌. May it be the beginning of many memorable ones. #Uganda #UgandaNaturals #HereWeCome #KKexpo18 #SaruLove #SaruOrganics #GodGoBeforeUs #GodIsGreat #GratefulToGod
So what exactly is Saru Organics?
Saru Organics is a startup manufacturing plant at the frontiers of luxurious organic beauty care, delighting their consumers worldwide with result driven transformative products and experiences, inspiring them to express their uniqueness confidently. Their products are all silicone free, paraben free, sulfate free and most importantly they source their ingredients from nature!
If you've ever taken a whiff of their products, you can almost smell [and taste] the raw Shea butter, the lush Avocado oil, Moringa oil from the Moringa oleifera tree, Macadamia Nut oil and a whole range of other plant extracts and organic oils!
For once when asked about who she is, she did not make it about herself and instead brought a bigger being. According to visionary, Mkamboi, she proudly describes Saru Organics to have grown to become synonymous with premium quality, earth-friendly botanical ingredients and the ultimate in delivering stunning hair styling results!
Here's her story!
Please tell us who you are and what you do
I am a child of God and I found my identity in Christ, prior to that I was not sure of who I am and my purpose. Everyday, there is something new I am learning and relearning about myself in the journey of self-discovery as a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend and an entrepreneur.
I am currently in the business of changing the Afrocentric hair narrative, in how we view it and helping my fellow ethnic sisters embrace our very tight coily and kinky crowns with pride and passion.
Tell us about your business. What led you to start Saru Organics?
Saru Organics begun accidentally, nothing had been pre-meditated towards it. I did mention I am a mum, and a doting one for that matter to one very smart, talented and beautiful princess called Shani.
It happened that when she was joining school for her pre-primary, she kept on getting very bad colds/flu. We kept on running to the medics for help which came in form of antibiotic prescriptions. I was getting tired and concerned about the much antibiotics she seemed to be taking and I prayed and wished for something friendlier yet effective, like a natural cure and the believer in me couldn't help but decree and believe for complete healing.
Then, on one of the days when I was visiting Gertrude children hospital, a Nigerian friend was calling, and she needed me to accompany her for some errands, but I had to let her down because my child was unwell, and she casually mentioned I should try Moringa powder.
I had heard about it, but without much interest on what it was. I was at a point where anything else other than antibiotics was very much welcome for trial…so I did a google research before making up my mind to give it a try.
To say I was surprised by the results after trying the powder to my child would be an understatement, my curiosity about Moringa was heightened after my child responded very positively to it and regaining health. I found out the Moringa tree has been our farmers' crop back in my village in Taita-Taveta county and let's say things became more interesting.
I wanted to learn everything about this tree from its roots to seeds just what else could my wonder tree do? I engaged farmers back at home about it and their response was quite discouraging, despite the tree being of vast benefits to humanity, it yielded very little to their pockets. Realizing this, I was more motivated to be a solution provider to the Moringa farmers and I knew I just had to do something and to cut a long story short I ended up recognizing the potent benefits of Moringa oil to beauty care needs – and right there I chose to harness that potentiality.
As an entrepreneur, how has it been so far setting up your business?
We will proudly be turning one in June this year in business with my partners and frankly I am so grateful the far God has brought us. It seems like yesterday when I was making friends with chemical engineers on a bid to gain knowledge about formulation.
Starting is always the hardest season but you know what the Swahili say "Kuzaa sio kazi, kulea ndio kazi".
Once I was over the hurdle of identifying what I want, what I want the products to do and achieve & our brand identity, I was ready to run with the vision despite very limited resources – It was just me and the currency of Faith, just believing one step at a time; from formulation to testing to formulating again – this is a process that never ends, especially if you are keen on giving your customers the best, plus research is always ongoing with better stuff being realized and you have got to be in the know – and finally being confident of the product to introduce to the market.
It has been a roller-coaster of emotions, from pushing beyond limits and challenges and believing you can do it, to moments of excitement and pure joy when you receive a genuine feedback from a customer on how wonderful the products have treated her hair. I count it all joy at the end of the day. I always have to be of good courage, that is what I do not leave behind.
Was there/is there a good reception for your products in Kenya?
Well I look at it this way, if a customer comes back for a restock and she is not afraid to tell the world about their new found love, then we must be doing a transformational job to our customers and yes, there has been lots of good positive vibes about our products but that does not mean we should relax! We always keep innovating to give our customers the best!
Has it been hard especially as a woman to rise up the ranks in the manufacturing/production industry?
I'll start by saying that I look up to so many women in the manufacturing industry who have been there and done it so excellently; from Mrs. Flora Mutahi founder/director of Melvins Tea and she did it way back then when only Asians dominated the manufacturing sector to Mrs Tabitha Karanja of Keroche Industries! I mean this is a woman who came through to shake up a monopoly and create her very own niche that is now a household name, and bringing it much closer is not forgetting the awesome duo Michelle Ntalami and Niyati Patel co-founders of Marini Naturals & Lucy King'ori brand owner of Bu.Ke products who has been kind enough to hold my hand in this streets and what all these women tell me is that Mkamboi you can definitely chase your dream and realize your vision.
It is considered harder for women to penetrate the shackles that society has put on them but in my case, with all these mentors around, it has shown me that with the right vision and the right people around you to pull you up, there's nothing you cannot achieve!
What has being in business taught you?
Resilience and a resolve not to give up. There are times that it can be really tough and all you can think about is how to just get back to being employed & enjoy an 8-5 kind of job where you do not have to worry where the salaries will come from, or how the business bills are going to be sorted; but then you remember why you came in, the vision and you just have to be of good courage, anchoring yourself firmly in Christ knowing He's got you and He is faithful to complete that which he said He will do.
I have grown much deeper in my faith because most are the times between me and the next day I only need a God send miracle no connections whatsoever can solve. I have also learned I can't satisfy everyone and that's okay!
What are some of the challenges you've faced in setting your own career and even expanding your business?
There are limitations I have faced from the heavy capital you need to have for example to have package line with an identity. You get to learn MOQs and realizing the cash at hand is not enough.
Getting caught in between where suppliers cannot give you credit terms despite the many times you have been buying from them and that most of your stockists will ask for an extended credit period. It requires you to have good cash flow that can meet both the suppliers needs for your raw materials and keep your business afloat as you create partnerships with retailers and distributors.
How has your natural hair journey been like?
I like keeping it as simple as I can and I do not stress much about it. I have been natural since 2012. My style has always been combing it or styling it to a fro and at night I have to sleep in 'matutas' and a satin scarf or bonnet that I got from Apparels and Accessories ke and my nappy hair became much happier. To me, it's about moisture, as long as my hair is well moisturized, I'm good to go.
I'm curious, what's your current hair regimen?
I love doing a spritz spray where I have aloe juice, water and peppermint oil for my hair in the morning, then rub in avocado oil and finish with Saru Organics 3 in 1 leave in conditioner, the tangles just melt away and it's a breeze.
On a weekly basis, I will do a shampoo wash or co-wash alternating it with a deep conditioning treatment.
Maintaining natural hair requires a certain amount of discipline. Has that spilled over into your normal routine?
Yes, every Saturday evening I must schedule for some TLC, it comes very natural with the journey which actually makes you love yourself more and the rewards are quite be enviable!
I always say that for you to want anything wortwhile, you want you must invest on it and the same applies to you having fabulous hair!
Should we expect any new products this year?
Definitely! We have been very busy in the labs.
What are your future plans for Saru Organics?
We are working smart to not only become a household name but also to have a global footprint as a luxurious organic beauty care brand!

Teaching and training in Berlin
As I travelled to Berlin on Wednesday 25th, I was hired as an extra monofin teacher for the long weekend to help Anna improve her technique in DYN. The biggest issue for Anna is to learn to swim with her whole body, not just kicking with the legs. We took videos both at the start and end of the trainings, and there's already a great improvement!
We went training practically every day, doing basic monofinning exercises, sprints and trying different monofins. We also did training for the other disciplins, STA and DNF, and fitness training at the gym. On Sunday we finished off with a 70 min cycle class, and of course with a little apnea in between. It was hard work, but a lot of fun! If Anna keeps her progress and Martin keeps pushing her, I'm very confindent she's gonna make it.

Freedivers go skiing
From left: Martin Müller, Dan Burton, Stig Severinsen, Guillaume Néry, Elisabeth Kristoffersen, Christian Maldamé and wild pony of unknown name
On Monday after the Oslo Ice Challenge, we were a group of freedivers who wanted a little more or the Norway experience. The great snow fall had left exellent conditions for cross country skiing, which is the national sport of Norway. Being a native, I was given the task of organizing and showing the way (with more or less success).
It turned out that the French (Guillaume and Christian) were completely superior on the tracks, while the Danish, British, German and Norwegian were content with a little slower pace. Everybody in the group seemed to have a great time and enjoying the nature, the work out and the rewarding chocolate. See you next time!

A cool experience
But to look on the bright side, this would be a proof that I'm not so much of a chicken as I sometimes seem ;) And it would be an experience to tell the grandchildren about some day...
Luckily, I had just got sponsored a brand new suit from Elios sub. It is a 5mm Freedown suit with open cell inside. I also used a 2mm vest and shorts underneath, and stayed practically dry! The only place where I really could feel the cold, was on my face, hands and feet (the feet was okey after I put on a pair of socks with the tip cut off, partly over the monofin footpockets). It also helped alot to have some hot chocolate to keep warm :)
The cold water poses other challenges than simply keeping warm. Equalizing becomes much more difficult I realized. On the last dive of the competition on Sunday, I was focusing too much on getting down and the fact that it's really getting dark. I simply forgot to fill my mouth with air for the deeper equalization, called a mouthfill. On 35m I didn't have any air left, and even though I could see the light and the bottom plate clearly on 40m, I had to turn around. It was a new lesson learned about cold water diving!
I really felt that I moved some bounderies in Oslo Ice Challenge. I now know that cold water, no warm-ups, darkness and bad weather can not stop me from freediving. On my second dive, I was feeling the urge to turn around so many times. All the different excuses were passing through my mind, but I kept going down. Touching the bottom plate and starting swimming back up, I felt a great sensation of success. Seeing the light coming through the ice and the dark hole where I was returning to, is something I'll remember for a long time.

Videos from Oslo Ice Challenge
And here's Thomas Grindevoll coming up from his 52m CWT dive

Oslo Ice Challenge report
Oslo Ice Challenge was indeed what its name implies, a challenge. The water was around 0 degrees on the surface and the ice was more than 30 cm thick. The weather conditions were far from optimal though, with wind and snow. The air temperature was 2-3 degrees, giving some problems with water on the ice.
Despite all this, the world's first freediving competition under ice was a great success with good dives and happy contestants. The competition ran smoothly thanks to a job well done by the organizers, judges, helpers and the athletes who volunteered to help out with safety diving.
The results were quite impressing, taking the conditions into account, with strong dives and safe dives. The athletes were diving twice on Saturday and once on Sunday in whatever discipline they choose, with CNF giving 1,35 points and CWT and FIM giving 1 point each. The maximum depth was set to 52m, which made the top four athletes chase depth in CNF to gain the most points.
The winner was current world record holder in CWT, Guillaume Néry, doing a 45m CNF dive. On second and third place were Christian Earnest and Christian Maldamé, both doing a 42m CNF dive and therefore going head to head in the Frozen Viking Static competition. Maldamé surfaced after 3'38 and Earnest won the duel with 4'02.
For a couple of the freedivers, the water got just a little too hot, and they chose to take off their wetsuit and go diving in only a pair of Speedos. The Oslo Ice Challenge proved that freediving does not have to be a sport restricted to warm, tropical waters, but can be carried out under real Nordic conditions.More pictures: Fredrik Naumann and Felix Features.

In progress: Oslo Ice Challenge
Despite some challenges out on the ice, the competition is running well. Alot of happy faces, cold feet, sensible dives and new experiences.
I completed a 35m CWT dive, which was a great feeling! It's something completely different than diving in warm water, but not as hard as one might think. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow and another try. Pluss we're doing a static... Yes, we are a little crazy.
Check out cool pictures from Dan Burton here.

If you live on a canyon road, chances are you will experience some mild to severe flooding during heavy rains. This is especially true if you live in Southern California where we either have drought or heavy rains. We have never had an average rainfall ever. It's all or nothing.
If you live on a canyon road such as Laurel, Benedict, Coldwater, Beverly Glen….you know they drain all the rain, water, mud, debris from the entire mountain down these few main roads. All the top roads such as Mulholland and sides roads lead and drain to these roads. The goal is for the water to drain down the road. You do not want to block the flow of the water down the road. Below are some tips on how to minimize flooding for you and your neighbors.
1. If your trash cans are on the street, bring them onto your property. They block the flow of water going down the hill. They also cause debris to accumulate and block the flow of water. This causes the street to flood. Your cans can also get swept down the road. Legally they should only be on the road from 6 pm the night before trash pickup to 6 pm the next day.
2. If you see debris in your gutter, pick it up and put it in the trash. Otherwise it will block the flow of water causing flooding.
3. If you live near one of the storm drains, keep it clear. Yes, it's not your trash stuck in there blocking the flow of water but it will cause YOUR house to flood. The key again is to keep the water flowing down the hill and into the storm drains if need be.
4. If your car is parked on the main canyon road, put it in your garage, carport, driveway, anywhere but on the main canyon road. It blocks debris and water flow. Your car can also be hit by a hydroplaning driver. It can even be swept down the road in heavy rains.
5. If after all of this the road is flooding and water is about to go into your driveway then your home, have sandbags ready. They are free at the fire stations or get some at Home Depot. Always have them on hand. You can also have sand on hand. In emergency fill with dirt, rocks, place bricks on top to keep the bags in place.
6. Always have an emergency plan and kit in place. Have an emergency kit with flash lights, water… Have one for your pets as well.
7. You may lose power in a flood. This is where head lamps, flash lights come in handy. Remember you can charge your cell phone in your car. Hopefully the cell tower has not lost power. If it has, you may have to drive down to Sunset to get reception from a tower with power.
Most importantly, keep an eye out for your neighbor. Know your neighbors' names, numbers… Please do your part to prepare by clearing the street.

The Shiller Preyar Law Offices are dedicated to social justice issues on a local scale in the Chicagoland area as well as on a national scale. Our blog is a useful space to keep up with current legal news, firm updates and upcoming events.
The Shiller Preyar Law Offices have been working hard all summer long, and this September brought us some hard-won victories. Read on for a glimpse at two cases we recently settled.
On December 8, 2010, Oak Lawn resident Charles Petrishe was tasered then shot multiple times by officers of the Oak Lawn Police Department. The Shiller Preyar Law Offices represented the Petrishe family in their case against the officers involved, Advocate Christ Hospital and The Village of Oak Lawn. The Petrishes alleged that two Oak Lawn officers caused multiple constitutional violations—including the use of excessive force—when responding to a 911 call about a domestic disturbance involving Charles Petrishe. On September 23, 2014, we were able to reach a settlement agreement with the defendants for $3 million.
On May 20, 2008, our plaintiff MW was the unfortunate victim of repeated physical and sexual assaults by inmates of the Cook County Department of Corrections. MW—who was a minor at the time of the incident—brought suit against Cook County, it's agencies and officials involved alleging that these attacks took place over a three day period when MW was wrongfully held at CCDC because of the gross negligence and reckless indifference of the Defendants. The Shiller Preyar Law Offices represented MW, and we settled with the defendants for $135,000 on September 24, 2014.
Shiller Preyar is always working to secure justice for those we represent. Unfortunately, they are often facing city officers, officials, bureaus and entire institutions whose power can seem daunting and overwhelming. We never tire of giving our clients the time and energy they deserve, and settlements like these two show that hard work not only pays off, but gives peace of mind as well.

So thankful for the affordable, quality trophies. The rec league we were playing only gave one large trophy for the winner of the tourney...several of the girls asked if they got individual trophies if they won it all. My husband "kinda jokingly" said, if y'all win it all I will see to it that you all get your own trophy...well the girls were the champs! So as we were on the way out of town, I looked at my husband and said you know what we have to buy now...wonder how much that is going to cost us...so as I searched the web I came across this site, right off the bat, the price was right and the quality looked great! The girls were so excited and thankful!!!! Thank you so much!
Quality trophies! Great price! I should of ordered more! I will use K2 in the future
These are all outstanding trophies

If you have attended one of the many workshops that I have presented, you probably heard me say, "Most people think that everyone is supposed to think like me, and if you don't think like me, there is something wrong with you."
This could not be further from the truth. In fact, if a person thinks this way, it shows a lack of self-awareness. We are all different, and the person who recognizes the differences in others is the one who is on the self-awareness journey.
We typically, but not always, engage in a serious relationship with our complete opposite because these people compliment us. Where we are weak they are strong. Where we are strong they are weak. Yes, opposites do attract.
Whenever I present an Emergenetics workshop and one of the participants is an extrovert, I like to say, "Is your significant other an introvert?" Nine times out of 10 the response is a resounding yes. Or, if I have a dominant left brain thinking participant, I like to ask, "Does your significant other fit the characteristics of the dominant right brain thinking profile?" Again, the answer is usually yes.
Now, it must be noted that when I say opposites or complimentary, I mean thinking and behavioral attributes.
The complimentary part is only accentuated if the two people have things in common. For instance, it could be that both of you attended the same university, you are both frugal, love to travel, and love sports (even the same teams).
One thing Emergenetics doesn't measure is character. If you and your significant other have many things in common and he or she is of good character, consider yourself blessed. What more could you ask for?
