Jantina Tammes
|
Jantina "Tine" Tammes (; 23 June 1871 – 20 September 1947) was a Dutch botanist and geneticist and the first professor of genetics in the Netherlands.
Early life and education
Tammes was born on 23 June 1871 in Groningen in the Netherlands. She was the daughter of cocoa manufacturer Beerend Tammes and Swaantje Pot. She had a sister and four brothers, and was the aunt of the international lawyer Arnold Tammes and the botanist Pieter Merkus Lambertus Tammes, namesake of the Tammes problem in mathematics.
After graduating from the high school for girls in Groningen and taking private lessons in mathematics, physics and chemistry, she enrolled at the University of Groningen in 1890 as one of just eleven female students. She was allowed to attend lectures but not to take any examinations, although she was awarded a teaching diploma.
Research career
In 1897 Tammes was appointed as an assistant to Jan Willem Moll, professor of botany at the University of Groningen. Through his mediation she was invited in 1898 to spend several months doing research in the laboratory of Hugo de Vries, who had just been appointed adjunct professor of plant physiology at the newly founded University of Amsterdam. There she gained exposure to issues of variability, evolution and genetics. In 1901 she was the first woman in the Netherlands to be awarded a scholarship from the Buitenzorg Fund to conduct botanic research in Java, one of the few to achieve this without being a doctoral student. However, her poor health prevented her from travelling to the Far East and Moll offered her an unpaid place in his laboratory instead.
Over the next decade Tammes published several influential works. In Die Periodicität morphologischer Erscheinungen bei den Pflanzen (The frequency of morphological phenomena in plants) she was one of the first Dutch scientists to report on variability, evolution and genetics. Then in 1907 she published Der Flachsstengel: Eine statistisch-anatomische Monographie (The Flax Stem: A statistical anatomical monograph) which used statistics and probability theory to shed light on the inheritance of genetic traits in flax.
In 1911 Tammes was granted an honorary doctorate in zoology and botany. From April 1912 she replaced Moll as head of practical microscopy. In 1919 she was appointed extraordinary professor of variability and genetics, the first professor in the Netherlands in this field of research.
From 1932 to 1943 Tammes was editor of the journal Genetica. She was also active in the Dutch Association of Women In Higher Education (Vereniging van Vrouwen met Hogere Opleiding or VVAO) and an outspoken opponent of the principle of eugenics. Tammes died in Groningen in 1947.

Nine Stones, Winterbourne Abbas
|
The Nine Stones, also known as the Devil's Nine Stones, the Nine Ladies, or Lady Williams and her Dog, is a stone circle located near to the village of Winterbourne Abbas in the southwestern English county of Dorset. Archaeologists believe that it was likely erected during the Bronze Age.
The Nine Stones is part of a tradition of stone circle construction that spread through much of Great Britain, Ireland, and Brittany between 3,300 and 900 BCE, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. The stone circle tradition was accompanied by the construction of timber circles and earthen henges, reflecting a growing emphasis on circular monuments. The purpose of such rings is unknown, although archaeologists speculate that the stones represented supernatural entities for the circle's builders. At least nine of these stone circles are known to have been constructed near modern Dorset. They are smaller than those found elsewhere in Great Britain and are typically built from sarsen stone.
Located in the bottom of a narrow valley, the Nine Stones circle has a diameter of . It consists of nine irregularly spaced sarsen megaliths, with a small opening on its northern side. Two of the stones on the northwestern side of the monument are considerably larger than the other seven. This architectural feature has parallels with various stone circles in southwestern Scotland, and was potentially a deliberate choice of the circle's builders, to whom it may have had symbolic meaning.
Antiquarians like John Aubrey and William Stukeley first took an interest in the site during the eighteenth century. It later received archaeological attention, although it has not been excavated. Local folklore has grown up around the circle, associating it with the Devil and with children petrified into rock. The Nine Stones are regarded as a sacred site by local Druids, who perform religious ceremonies there. The circle is adjacent to the A35 road and encircled by trees. The site is owned by English Heritage and is open without charge to visitors.
Location
The Nine Stones circle is positioned at the national grid reference 36100904, on the western edge of the village of Winterbourne Abbas in Dorset, South West England . Enclosed within iron railings, it is surrounded on three sides by trees and on the northern side by the A35 road. The roots of a beech tree have engulfed two of the megaliths in the circle.
The archaeologist Aubrey Burl noted that while "this petite ring should be a delight to see", it was instead a "frustration" as a result of its restricted location. He noted that it was difficult to take clear photographs of the site because of the surrounding trees.
Context
While the transition from the Early Neolithic to the Late Neolithic—which took place with the transition from the fourth to the third millennium BCE—witnessed much economic and technological continuity, it also saw a considerable change in the style of monuments erected, particularly in southern and eastern England. By 3,000 BCE, the long barrows, causewayed enclosures, and cursuses which had predominated in the Early Neolithic had ceased being built, and were instead replaced by circular monuments of various kinds. These include earthen henges, timber circles, and stone circles. These stone rings are found in most areas of Britain where stone is available, with the exception of the island's southeastern corner. Stone circles are most densely concentrated in southwestern Britain and on the northeastern horn of Scotland, near Aberdeen. The tradition of their construction may have lasted for 2,400 years, from 3300 to 900 BCE, with the major phase of building taking place between 3000 and 1,300 BCE.
These stone circles typically show very little evidence of human visitation during the period immediately following their creation. This suggests that they were not sites used for rituals that left archaeologically visible evidence, and may have been deliberately created to serve as what the historian Ronald Hutton describes as "silent and empty monuments". The archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson suggested that in Neolithic Britain, stone was associated with the dead and wood with the living. Other archaeologists have suggested that the stone might not represent ancestors, but rather other supernatural entities, such as deities.
Burl described modern Dorset as having a "thin scatter" of stone circles, with nine possible examples known within the county's boundaries. The archaeologist John Gale described these as "a small but significant group" of such monuments, and all are located within five miles of the sea. All but one—Rempstone Stone Circle on the Isle of Purbeck—are located on the chalk hills west of Dorchester. The Dorset circles have a simplistic typology and are of a comparatively small size in comparison to other British stone circles, with none exceeding in diameter. All are oval in shape, although they perhaps have been altered from their original form. With the exception of the Rempstone circle, all consist of sarsen stone. Much of this may have been obtained from the Valley of Stones, a location at the foot of Crow Hill near to Littlebredy, which is located within the vicinity of many of these circles. With the exception of the circle at Litton Cheney, none display evidence of any outlying stones or earthworks around the stone circle.
The archaeologists Stuart and Cecily Piggott believed that the circles of Dorset were probably of Bronze Age origin, a view endorsed by Burl, who noted that their distribution did not match that of any known Neolithic sites. It is possible that they were not all constructed around the same date, and the Piggotts suggested that while they may well be Early Bronze Age in date, it is also possible that "their use and possibly their construction may last into the Middle and even into the Late Bronze Age".
Their nearest analogies are the circles found on Dartmoor and Exmoor to the west, and the Stanton Drew stone circles to the north. It is also possible that the stone circles were linked to a number of earthen henges erected in Dorset around the same period.
Description and design
The Nine Stones circle has been described by Gale as "probably the most well documented of all those surviving in the county". It measures in diameter, as measured from a north-to-south direction. The stones are of sarsen or conglomerate. A gap between two stones on the side of the circle adjacent to the road may suggest that there was once a tenth stone in the monument. Given its dimensions, the circle could only accommodate a small number of individuals assembling within it.
Seven of the nine surviving stones are under tall, but two of the northwestern stones are considerably larger. Located opposite the circle's two shortest stones, one is thin and pointed, reaching high, while the other is broader, measuring 1.8 metres square (6 feet by 6 feet). The largest of the stones weighs approximately 7.3 tonnes (8 tons) and would have required the efforts of many people to move and erect it.
This disparity between the sizes of the megaliths is unparalleled among the other surviving stone circles in the Dorset area, and may have been a deliberate choice by the circle's builders, perhaps reflecting sexual symbolism. There are a number of similar circles in southwestern Scotland, for example the Loupin' Stones, Ninestane Rig, and Burgh Hill, all of which share the architectural feature of having two taller stones on their perimeters. Potentially supporting this link between Dorset and southwestern Scotland is the fact that the Grey Mare and her Colts—a chambered long barrow located two and a half miles southwest of the Nine Stones—displays architectural similarities with the Clyde-Solway tradition of chambered long barrows.
Landscape context and related monuments
The circle is located at the bottom of a narrow valley. Though this is unusual for a monument of this type, the Dorset Rempstone stone circle was also erected within a valley.
The antiquarian John Aubrey recorded a further stone circle, located about a kilometre (half a mile) to the west of the Nine Stones, which was of similar dimensions to it. It was later destroyed, although as of the 1930s three stones were recorded as remaining at the site. Gale later suggested that this site may not have even been a stone circle at all, but might instead have been the remains of an Early Neolithic chambered tomb. He noted, however, that "as nothing remains it is at the moment impossible to resolve".
There is also a fallen standing stone known as the Broad Stone which measures in length and which lies beside the road about to the west of the Nine Stones. As it was recorded in the nineteenth century it measured in length, 2 metres (6 and a half feet) in breadth, and in thickness. The monument was protected from passing cars by several bollards which were later removed by the highways authority, prompting statements of concern that the stone was unprotected in 2008.
Later history
Antiquarian and archaeological research
The circle was recorded by Aubrey in the seventeenth century, and then by William Stukeley in the eighteenth century. Aubrey recorded the presence of nine megaliths at the site, as did Stukeley's 1723 drawing of it. In the nineteenth century the site was visited by the antiquarian Charles Warne, who wrote about it in his 1872 book Ancient Dorset. He claimed that he could discern the existence of a tenth stone, although on visiting the site in 1936, the Piggotts noted that they could find no evidence of this. Gale later stated that this claim "has never been substantiated". Warne had consulted Aubrey's manuscript, but confused Aubrey's illustration of the Devil's Quoits at Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, for a monument that he believed had once been located near to the Nine Stones.
In 1888, the local council decreed that—along with the Grey Mare and her Colts and the Tenant Hill stone circle—the site would be registered as an "ancient monument" under the Ancient Monuments Protection Act 1882. In August 1916, the site was then designated as a scheduled monument. The circle was included in the archaeologist O. G. S. Crawford's Map of Neolithic Wessex, printed by the Ordnance Survey in 1932. As of 2003, the site had not been excavated.
Folklore
In 1908, the stone circle was known as the "Nine Ladies" and the "Devil's Nine Stones", and in 1941 they were associated with both the Devil and human sacrifice in local folklore. As of 1968, the stone circle was still known as the "Devil's Nine Stones". In 1966, a man from Winterborne St Martin claimed that the stones were the Devil, his wife, and his children. There are many ancient sites across Britain with names that associate them with the Devil. Examining such place-names, the folklorist Jeremy Harte argued that they did not develop during the Christianisation of England in the early Middle Ages, but rather they were applied to such sites in later centuries, often supplanting the name of an earlier folkloric or legendary figure.
In 1965 a woman from the Isle of Portland stated that her own father had always raised his cap when passing the circle. At the same time local folklore was recorded as holding that the stones in the ring could not be counted. This "countless stones" motif is not unique to this particular site, and can be found at various other megalithic monuments in Britain. The earliest textual evidence for it is found in an early sixteenth-century document, where it applies to the stone circle of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, although in an early seventeenth-century document it was being applied to The Hurlers, a set of three stone circles in Cornwall. Later records reveal that it had gained widespread distribution in England, as well as a single occurrence each in Wales and Ireland. The folklorist S. P. Menefee suggested that it could be attributed to an animistic understanding that these megaliths had lives of their own.
The archaeologist Leslie Grinsell reported that in the mid-1970s, he learned of a folk tale that the stones had once been children who were turned to stones as punishment for playing Five-Stones on a Sunday. This folk motif of humans turned to stone for revelling on a Sunday had been attached to a range of prehistoric monuments across southwestern Britain by the early eighteenth century, although it had been first recorded in Cornwall in 1602. It is likely connected to Sabbatarianism, and may have been spread by Protestant preachers.
In 1984, Harte talked to various individuals who lived in the local area, finding that the monument was also known as "Lady Williams and her Dog" or "Lady Williams and her Little Dog Fido", a reference to a family who lived at Bridehead House, Littlebredy. He also related a story that on 23 January 1985, a breakdown van was towing a car past the Nine Stones when, at 9:15pm, its engine cut out and the lights on both vehicles failed. Press coverage speculated that the event was linked to both a ley line passing through the site and to unidentified flying objects that have been reported above the nearby Eggardon Hill.
Recent developments
The site is in the care of English Heritage, and can be visited at any time. The circle is considered a place of religious importance to a modern Druidic group called the Dolmen Grove Druids. They have described having to confront individuals shouting abuse at them while they have performed their rituals at the stone circle.
In October 2007, the sides of the stones facing the road were daubed in white paint with the slogans "Read family court hell" and "F4J". "F4J" was also painted on to the side of Dorset's Hardy Monument. The activist group Fathers4Justice—whose acronym is "F4J"—denied any responsibility, condemned the action, and suggested that the slogans had been painted on by unknown individuals in an attempt to discredit the group. Concern about the vandalism was expressed by the National Trust, the local landowner, and the Dolmen Grove Druids.

Brewster Subdivision
|
The Brewster Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in Florida. The line runs from the Valrico Subdivision at Edison Junction south through Bradley Junction to Arcadia for a total of 47.2 miles. It junctions with the Achan Subdivision and the Agricola Spur at Bradley Junction, and connects to the Seminole Gulf Railway in Arcadia.
Route description
The Brewster Subdivision begins at Edison Junction near the community of Keysville. It starts as a wye that branches off the Valrico Subdivision. From here, it proceeds southeast to Bradley Junction, where it turns south on to the former Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway. From Bradley Junction, the line continues south to Agrock, Fort Green Springs, and Ona before coming to a point just north of Arcadia where it connects with the Seminole Gulf Railway, a shortline that operates the continuing track south to Punta Gorda and Fort Myers.
Operation
The Brewster Subdivision is CSX's second busiest line through the Bone Valley after the Valrico Subdivision. The line is dispatched through Track warrant control.
The line serves three phosphate facilities operated by The Mosaic Company. Mosaic's New Wales processing plant is located near the north end of the line between Edison and Bradley Junction and is considered by Mosaic to be the world's largest phosphate processing facility.
Four Corners Mine is located a short distance behind Agrock yard south of Bradley Junction. Agrock yard is used by Mosaic as a staging area for Four Corners Mine and operates their own locomotives and equipment from the mine to the yard. The southernmost phosphate mine on the line is Mosaic's South Pasture Mine in Fort Green Springs which was previously operated by CF Industries before it was bought by Mosaic. South Pasture Mine is currently not operating and has been idle since 2018. Though Mosaic plans to reactivate it at some point in the future. When active, South Pasture is the southernmost point of CSX's Bone Valley operations.
The only traffic on the Brewster Subdivision that runs south of South Pasture is twice-weekly mixed freight from Winston Yard to Arcadia for interchange with Seminole Gulf Railway. This traffic is the only non-phosphate related rail traffic on the Brewster Subdivision.
History
Edison to Agricola
The northern segment of the Brewster Subdivision from present-day Edison to Bradley Junction and east to Agricola was built as a branch line by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1910. It was built to further extend the Seaboard Air Line's network into the Bone Valley's growing phosphate industry.
South of Bradley Junction
The Brewster Subdivision south of Bradley Junction was built by the Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway (CH&N). The Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway was built in 1911, which intersected the Seaboard's branch at Bradley Junction. The Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway historically extended as far south as Boca Grande, which was once the location of a major phosphate shipping port. The Seaboard Air Line bought the Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway in 1926. By the end of 1926, track from Edison to Bradley Junction and the former CH&N from there south was designated as the company's Fort Myers Subdivision since it provided access to the company's line to Fort Myers. Edison Junction was given its name because of this, since inventor Thomas Edison had a seasonal residence in Fort Myers.
Later years
The line was renamed the Boca Grande Subdivision in 1957 after the Seaboard Air Line abandoned its line to Fort Myers.
The line once had a spur track to the former Payne Creek Mine east of Agrock Yard. Payne Creek Mine has since been redeveloped by Mosaic into the Streamsong Resort and golf course.
In 1967, the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line merged to form the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. In 1980, the Seaboard Coast Line's parent company merged with the Chessie System, creating the CSX Corporation. The CSX Corporation initially operated the Chessie and Seaboard Systems separately until 1986, when they were merged into CSX Transportation.
Track south of Arcadia to Boca Grande was abandoned in 1981 after the closure of Port Boca Grande. The remaining line was subsequently renamed the Brewster Subdivision, which is named for the defunct ghost town of Brewster that was located just south of Bradley Junction. The town existed from 1910 to 1962 and played a role in the area's phosphate industry. Remnants of the town include a smokestack and a few abandoned buildings.

Ethel Romig Fuller

Ethel Romig Fuller (February 26, 1883 – December 13, 1965) was Oregon's third Poet Laureate (1957–1965), and the state's first female Poet Laureate. She was also editor of The Oregonian's poetry section from the early 1930s to the late 1950s.
Biography
Fuller was born in Big Rapids, Michigan, on February 26, 1883, and attended the Eastern Michigan Normal School. After visiting Oregon on vacation, she moved to Portland, Oregon, in 1906 and attended the Portland Extension Center. After climbing Mount Hood, she dedicated herself to writing about the Northwest. Fuller began writing poetry in the early 1920s. She lived in both Oregon and Washington.
When Fuller found out that the Oregonian was going to discontinue publishing poetry in early 1930s, she complained to the editor, and was then hired to start the poetry column, which published poets from around the world. She wrote three published collections of her poetry, as well as lectured and read poetry on the radio. Fuller was known for helping and encouraging new poets, which is one reason Governor Robert D. Holmes nominated her to become Oregon's third Poet Laureate in 1957.
Fuller was married to Charles Fuller, an insurance salesman. She died December 13, 1965.

Disappearance of Carlos Ornelas Puga
|
On 3 November 2013, Catholic priest Carlos Ornelas Puga was kidnapped by gunmen in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. His whereabouts remain unknown and the motives behind his kidnapping are unclear, but the Mexican authorities allege that the priest was kidnapped by an organized crime group.
Biography
Carlos Ornelas Puga was born on 25 October 1975 in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He was ordained in the Catholic Church in 2001, and held a post as head of the Deanery in Jiménez, Tamaulipas. As a member of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ciudad Victoria, Ornelas Puga was also a priest at Los Cinco Señores parish church in Jiménez. Prior to his kidnapping in November 2013, he aided victims of the Mexican Drug War in Tamaulipas, provided seminars for teenagers, and helped conduct the missions program of the diocese.
Kidnapping
After conducting an evening mass at Los Cinco Señores parish on 3 November 2013 in Jiménez, Tamaulipas, Ornelas Puga was reportedly kidnapped by gunmen presumably involved in organized crime. Witnesses notified local authorities of the abduction the moment the crime occurred. However, no measures were taken for more than four days, according to Roman Catholic Diocese of Ciudad Victoria spokesman Fernando Sandoval. On 7 November, the Tamaulipas authorities sent a convoy of state police officers and an anti-kidnapping team to investigate the case, but they were ambushed by gunmen in Padilla, Tamaulipas. The attack left three officers (two male and one female) wounded by gunfire.
Two days later, the Mexican authorities confirmed that several mutilated bodies were located at a ranch known as La Borbolla along the highway that connects Jiménez and Padilla. Unconfirmed reports suggested that the body of Ornelas Puga might be among the remains. On 13 November, the Mexican Episcopal Conference (CEM) confirmed the disappearance of Ornelas Puga and condemned the crime. The CEM admitted that this was not the first case a priest had been targeted in Mexico; many others have received threats from organized crime for protecting migrants and working on cases of people who have disappeared across the country.
Background
Ornelas Puga was kidnapped in Tamaulipas, one of the most violent states in Mexico. Given its geographical location along the U.S.-Mexico border, Tamaulipas is a major route for human trafficking, arms smuggling, and international drug trade. It is also home to two transnational criminal organizations, the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, who have fought for the control of these smuggling routes along the Texan border area since early 2010. In the months leading to his abduction, the municipality of Jiménez experienced a series of violent episodes that were a direct result of turf wars between rival drug trafficking organizations. Kidnappings—including forced disappearances of entire families—were reported in the region in earlier months. In November 2013, the month Ornelas Puga was kidnapped, nine people were reportedly abducted in Jiménez; their whereabouts remain unknown. According to a 2013 report from the Vatican, Mexico was the second-most-violent country for priests in Latin America (just behind Colombia). In the administration of President Felipe Calderón, 17 priests were killed between 2007 and 2012. The organization responsible for counting the killings is the Catholic Multimedia Center (Spanish: Centro Católico Multimedial), which is part of the religious congregation Society of Saint Peter (Spanish: Sociedad de San Pablo), who directly gives the list to Rome through Agenzia Fides.
Clergymen in Mexico are not immune to the drug violence nor to attacks from organized crime. Priests have been forced to pay protection to organized crime; if any given priest refuses to pay the racketeering, the threats become more severe, like burning the church's precinct, a kidnapping, or even death. When it is an extortion, the payment usually is around 10,000 pesos (about 778 USD). For a kidnapping, the ransom averages at around 2 million pesos (153,530 USD). Priests' outspokenness against Mexico's drug trafficking organizations can also incur reprisals, especially in areas where drug-related crimes are high. Others have received death threats and attacks because they have protected migrants (common prey of organized crime) from abuse. Besides Ornelas Puga, two other priests in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas were kidnapped in December 2013 and remain disappeared. Guillermo Amaro César (also from Tamaulipas) was killed in 2013 after alleged organized crime members beat him to death. The state authorities concluded that the motive of the murder was stemmed by robbery.
Reaction
In September 2014, the local bishop Antonio González Sánchez called for a peaceful march in memory of Ornelas Puga and other people who remain disappeared. The march was scheduled for 3 November 2014, the anniversary date of the priest's disappearance. Every year, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ciudad Victoria organizes a march in the city with family members and friends of people who have disappeared in Mexico.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law%20of%20Michigan
|
Law of Michigan
|
The law of Michigan consists of several levels, including constitutional, statutory, regulatory and case law. The Michigan Compiled Laws form the general statutory law.
Sources
The Constitution of Michigan is the foremost source of state law. Legislation is enacted by the Michigan Legislature, published in the Acts of the Legislature, and codified in the Michigan Compiled Laws. State agency regulations (sometimes called administrative law) are published in the Michigan Register and codified in the Michigan Administrative Code. Michigan's legal system is based on common law, which is interpreted by case law through the decisions of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, which are published in the Michigan Reports and Michigan Appeals Reports, respectively.
Constitution
The foremost source of state law is the Constitution of Michigan. The Michigan Constitution in turn is subordinate to the Constitution of the United States, which is the supreme law of the land.
Legislation
Pursuant to the state constitution, the Michigan Legislature has enacted legislation. These legislative acts are published in the official Public and Local Acts of the Legislature of the State of Michigan and are called "session laws". They in turn have been codified in the Michigan Compiled Laws. Both are published by the Michigan Legislative Service Bureau (LSB). Pursuant to Article IV, Section 36, of the Michigan Constitution, the compilations and codifications are not binding.
Regulations
Pursuant to certain statutes, state agencies have promulgated regulations, also known as administrative law. The regulations are published in the Michigan Register (MR) and codified in the Michigan Administrative Code (MAC or AC). The Michigan Administrative Code was last printed in 1979. The Annual Administrative Code Supplement (AACS) is the annual supplement to the Michigan Administrative Code containing the rules published in the Michigan Register for that year. All three works are published by the Michigan Office of Regulatory Reinvention within the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. From 1980 to 1997, the AACS was published by the LSB.
Case law
The legal system of Michigan is based on the common law. Like all U.S. states except Louisiana, Michigan has a reception statute providing for the "reception" of English law. All statutes, regulations, and ordinances are subject to judicial review. Pursuant to common law tradition, the courts of Michigan have developed a large body of case law through the decisions of the Michigan Supreme Court and Michigan Court of Appeals.
The decisions of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals are published in the Michigan Reports and Michigan Appeals Reports, respectively. Both are also reported in the unofficial Michigan Reporter (a Michigan-specific version of the North Western Reporter).
Local ordinances
Compiled Laws
The Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL) are the official codification of statutes for the state of Michigan. An unannotated edition of the MCL is published by the state of Michigan in print and online.
Unofficial, annotated versions are published by both West and LexisNexis. The West publication is Michigan Compiled Laws Annotated (MCLA); the LexisNexis version is the Michigan Compiled Laws Service (MCLS).
Until the year 2000, an alternate codification known as the Michigan Statutes Annotated (MSA), which differed from the MCL in both its organization and numbering system, was also in use. Until the discontinuation of the MSA by LexisNexis, Michigan Court Rules required citation to both the MCL and MSA in all court filings.

Hantsport station
|
Hantsport station in Hantsport, Nova Scotia, Canada, was built in 1944 as a replacement for an earlier station destroyed by fire in 1943. The brick Tudor revival station was designed by Canadian Pacific Railway architects. The station played an important role in controlling the large shipments of gypsum through the port of Hantsport by the Dominion Atlantic Railway and later the Windsor and Hantsport Railway until 2011 when the gypsum mines around Windsor closed.
The station is protected by both federal and provincial heritage laws. It was designated a historic railway station by the federal government in 1992 and as a provincial heritage building in 1995.

Craig Lancaster
|
Craig Lancaster (born February 9, 1970) is an American writer and journalist, best known for his novels 600 Hours of Edward, its sequel, Edward Adrift, and The Summer Son. His other notable works include a short story collection as well as numerous articles and essays produced during his career as a newspaper writer and editor. The author was lauded as "one of Montana's most important writers."
Lancaster's works are set against the backdrop of the contemporary American West, specifically Montana, where he lives and writes. His prose has been described as deeply emotional and deceptively direct, centering on intense characters who navigate obstacles and relationships in ways that are simultaneously humorous and poignant. His literary influences include Hemingway, Steinbeck, Stegner, and Doig.
Biography
Craig Lancaster was born in Lakewood, Washington, on February 9, 1970. He was adopted by a Wyoming couple who met in Billings, Montana, where he would eventually settle and launch his career as a novelist. After his parents divorced in the early 1970s, his mother remarried and moved Craig to suburban Fort Worth, Texas.
His step-father, a longtime sportswriter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, had a tremendous impact on Lancaster's formative years by encouraging his early interest in writing. Lancaster's fascination with the "Western identity" was also rooted in his childhood, as he traveled extensively during summer vacations to visit his father, who followed work in Western oil fields. Lancaster describes his early memories of Montana as "vast, beautiful, [and] overwhelming," and knew that he "wanted to be a part of it."
Lancaster attended the University of Texas at Arlington, and subsequently made his foray into "The West" of his early imagination via a series of journalistic assignments that led him from Texas to Alaska, Kentucky, Ohio, California, Washington, and eventually, Montana. In 2006, Lancaster moved to Montana, where he married and subsequently divorced in 2015. Lancaster married fellow novelist Elisa Lorello in 2016. His work as a writer and editor has appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the San Jose Mercury News, The Billings Gazette, Magic City Magazine. He also serves as design director of Montana Quarterly, in addition to being a frequent contributor.

Mountain Rose Herbs
|
Mountain Rose Herbs is an American grower, processor, distributor, and retailer of herbs, spices, teas, essential oils and DIY ingredients used in herbalism. Founded in 1987, the company is based in Eugene, Oregon. Mountain Rose Herbs is known for organic, sustainably sourced, and wild harvested products. The company was the first fair trade certified supplier of these products in the United States. By 2010, it was the second-largest distributor of organic dried herbs in the nation. The e-commerce company opened its first retail location, Mountain Rose Herbs Mercantile, in 2016 in downtown Eugene, selling organic botanicals and DIY supplies.
History
Herbalist, educator, and author Rosemary Gladstar established what would become Mountain Rose Herbs in 1987 in Northern California, as a mail-order company that provided supplies for students at the California School of Herbal Studies. In 1991, herbalist Julie Bailey purchased the small business. She continued to run Mountain Rose Herbs from her Humboldt County, California home, filling orders by mail. The company grew steadily through the 1990s and adopted rigorous guidelines for harvesting of wild plants. In 1997, Mountain Rose Herbs moved to a larger residence in North San Juan, California. In 2000, environmental activist Shawn Donnille was promoted to management. He obtained organic certification for the company, and built the first Mountain Rose Herbs website in order to sell products online.
In 2001, Shawn Donnille became a part owner of Mountain Rose Herbs. That year they moved the business to Pleasant Hill, Oregon to be closer to the company's farm operations, wild harvesters, and processors. This move allowed Bailey and Donnille to create a full-time laboratory and quality control department. The home-based retailer became a certified organic processor through Oregon Tilth in 2002.
Between 2001 and 2010, Mountain Rose Herbs experienced steady growth, averaging between 25% and 45% each year, and soon grew out of their Pleasant Hill location.
In July 2010, the retailer moved to their current facility, the former Burley Design bicycle trailer factory in west Eugene. This 60,600-square-foot factory and the lease of a separate 10,000-square-foot building next door, tripled the retailer's space.
Mountain Rose Herbs has been recognized multiple times for ethical business practices. In 2010, the company was a finalist for the Oregon Ethics in Business Award. In 2011, it was honored with the Oregon Organic Coalition of Excellence award. The Oregon Sustainability Board selected Mountain Rose Herbs as the 2012 Grand Champion for the Governor's Sustainability Award, recognizing the company as a leader in socially and environmentally responsible business practices. In 2013, Shawn Donnille was a recipient of a 20 under 40 Award, for helping to "foster growth from an ‘out of the garage’ operation into one of Eugene's largest and most dynamic employers."
As of 2015, Mountain Rose Herbs was working with fifteen certified organic farms throughout the Pacific Northwest.
In January 2017, Mountain Rose Herbs purchased the assets of Eugene herbal products company, Terra Firma Botanicals. And Shawn Donnille became an equal partner 50/50 in the business. Mountain Rose Herbs now employs over 200 people in six separate Eugene facilities.
Mountain Rose Herbs expanded their facilities again in 2018 with the opening of a new milling facility in West Eugene, giving them full, hands-on control over the milling process for their products for the first time.
In 2020, Mountain Rose Herbs was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To put the company back on a growth trajectory, Shawn Donnille came out of partial retirement to step in as CEO and restructure the business and leadership team. On September 30, 2020, after 30 years of leadership, Julie Bailey retired and passed full ownership of Mountain Rose Herbs to Shawn Donnille.
In December 2020, Mountain Rose Herbs purchased the Phoenix Industrial Park in Eugene, marking the fourth time in twenty years that the business has outgrown its facilities. This purchase will allow the company to consolidate their six separate facilities into one 12-acre campus and will provide 205,000 square feet of operational space. Bringing the separate facilities together into one campus will streamline operations and communications, significantly reducing the business's carbon footprint. “We are continually striving for a carbon-neutral business model,” said Shawn Donnille.
Products
Mountain Rose Herbs carries approximately 1,500 botanical items, totaling 6,000 different sizes and finished products. These include bulk herbs, spices, culinary salts, sprouting seeds, teas, aromatherapy products, extracts, tinctures, salves, balms, natural bath and skincare products, and books, tools and other essentials for DIY projects.
Herbal Education
As part of their ongoing support for herbal education, the company established the Free Herbalism Project, an annual community event with botanically inspired lectures from experts in the field. Additionally, the company provides educational podcasts called Herbal Radio and how-to videos on YouTube.
In 2011, Mountain Rose Herbs founded Rootstalk Festival, a three-day benefit festival that brought together 40 experts and environmental groups to present classes on sustainable living, herbal medicine, wilderness skills, urban farming, and homesteading projects.
In 2015, Mountain Rose Herbs and Oregon Tilth presented a free Organic Land Care Peer Learning Session for landscape professionals.
Community
In 2009, Mountain Rose Herbs established the Mountain Rose River Project, a grassroots action team. Each year, employees carry out six to eight restoration projects through a Paid Time for Community Involvement program. The company partners with the state of Oregon, federal government, and nonprofit agencies to work on projects primarily focusing on local riparian ecosystems, stream health, and fish habitat.
Since 2012, Mountain Rose Herbs has maintained a comprehensive fair trade certification in accordance with the IMO Fair for Life standard. The company has worked directly with organic herb and spice growers through its Fair for Life Project. This project helps small organic farms in India comply with fair trade requirements by acting as mandator of the project, funding the certification process, and paying fair trade premiums for the goods.
In 2017, Mountain Rose Herbs was awarded the Innovation in Philanthropy Award from the Portland Business Journal in recognition for the Mountain Rose River Project, and for its charitable giving and nonprofit partnerships.
Sustainability
Mountain Rose Herbs advocates for organic farming, the environment, and fair trade. Most products are certified organic, all packaging is environmentally friendly, bottles and labels are made from post-consumer plastics and paper, tea boxes are compostable, and printing is done with soy-based inks. Additionally, the company conserves water with a satellite-controlled irrigation system, and a bioswale filters runoff water from the roof and pavement.
Mountain Rose Herbs was the first Oregon company to receive Zero Waste Facility Certification. Companies that are awarded the Zero Waste Facility Certification must meet all local, state, and federal waste regulations, and also divert at least 90% of all non-hazardous waste from landfills and incineration. Mountain Rose Herbs holds the highest level of certification: Platinum.
In 2014, the retailer became the first company in Eugene to be salmon-safe certified.
In 2015, Mountain Rose Herbs installed over 100 photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity for the main facility in Eugene. The 25 kWh solar array installed on the roof produces an estimated 32,604 kWh of power. Over the expected 35-year lifespan of the system, it is anticipated to offset 470 tons of , which is equivalent to the conservation of 10,980 trees or 48,170 gallons of gasoline.
Additionally, Mountain Rose Herbs is a Bicycle Friendly Business, and offers an Alternative Commute Program that pays cash incentives to employees who carpool with fellow staff members, use public transportation, bicycle, or walk to work.
The company has received numerous awards for its sustainability leadership, including The 100 Best Green Companies to Work for in Oregon, the Beyond Toxics Visionary Leader Award, and the Charities@Work Corporate Excellence Award for overall excellence in employee engagement and corporate social responsibility.

Frank W. Weston
|
Frank W. Weston (1843–1911) was an English-born and trained architect who practiced in Portland, Maine and Boston, Massachusetts. He also invested in the bicycle industry and promoted cycling as a sport. He was the co-founder of the Boston Bicycling Club is known as the "father of American bicycling."
Early years
Frank Weston was born July 13, 1843, in the Oxford Terrace, England. He studied at private schools before training as an architect. He emigrated from England to the United States, arriving in Boston on June 1, 1866.
Architecture
Weston went to work in Boston for William Ralph Emerson in the Studio building. He relocated to Portland, Maine after a fire in that city on July 4, 1866. He assisted with the rebuilding of the city. He remained in Portland for two years before returning to Boston, where he worked for N.J. Bradlee. He started his own firm in 1869, and in 1870, formed a partnership with George Rand. The firm of Weston and Rand designed the Hotel Agassiz at 191 Commonwealth Avenue (1872) and a building at 270 Clarendon Street (1873). Weston worked on many homes on the Boston Back Bay, and he built a house for himself at Savin Hill. He lived there with his wife, whom he married in 1873.
Weston worked as an architect out of Malden and Boston. He designed the Essex Town Hall and TOHP Burnham Library at 30 Martin Street in Essex, Massachusetts, built in the Shingle style of architecture. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. He also designed the Massachusetts Insane Hospital in Worcester, the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company exchange building on Oxford Street in Lynn, Massachusetts, and a "boxy Queen Anne style house."
Bicycles and cycling
In 1877, Frank Weston formed a business partnership with Arthur Cunningham, Sidney Heath, and Harold Williams to import bicycles to the United States. The new firm, Cunningham, Heath, and Company, started a bicycle riding school when it received its first order of high-wheelers from England. Weston withdrew from active management of the firm and founded the American Bicycling Journal, which he used to promote the sport of cycling and the interests of the firm. First issued Dec. 22, 1877, it was the first periodical of its kind in the United States. Weston sold the magazine in 1879 to Charles Pratt and Edward C. "Ned" Hodges.
In February 1878, Weston and thirteen fellow cyclists launched the Boston Bicycle Club, the first club of its kind in the United States. Weston was also the first and only American of the Cyclists' Touring Club of England, originally the Bicycle Touring Club. He organized races, one hundred-mile bicycle club runs and "the first hundred mile tricycle club run" in the United States. Weston served as first vice-president of the League of American Wheelmen and president of the Pioneers of the League of American Wheelmen.
Death
Weston died at the age of 67 in 1911. His wishes were for his body to be cremated and his ashes mixed with those of his wife. In 1926 it was discovered that this had not happened, and that his ashes were still in the undertaker's storage room. The members of the Boston Bicycling Club could not located his wife's ashes, but decided to scatter his at the Fairbanks House in Dedham, Massachusetts, a favorite spot of the club's, under a tree that had been planted there on the occasion of the club's 40th anniversary.

Huguette Plamondon
|
Huguette Plamondon (January 6, 1926 - September 29, 2010) was a trade unionist in Quebec, Canada. A trailblazer and leader in the Quebec, Canadian and international labour movements, she dedicated the bulk of her efforts to representing the United Packinghouse Workers of America and then the United Food and Commercial Workers, after the UPWA merged with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters in 1979 to create the UFCW. She also served as a vice-president of the Canadian Labour Congress from 1956 until 1988.
Early life
Plamondon was born on January 6, 1926, in Montreal. Her father was a member of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America. She entered the labour force as a stenographer at a steel plant, and when the United Steelworkers of America started organizing the plant, Huguette became one of the campaign's most militant supporters.
Activism and career
In 1945, at the age of 19, Huguette Plamondon started working as a secretary in the Montreal office of the United Packinghouse Workers of America (UPWA). Shortly thereafter, she started organizing meatpacking workers in Montreal, and began a decades long career as a leading voice for food workers, and a trailblazer for one of North America's largest and most powerful unions.
She became an active member of the Montreal Labour Council (Conseil du travail de Montréal) in 1953, which at that time was affiliated to the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). In 1955 she was elected president of the Montreal Labour Council, and served in that role until 1958, thus becoming the first woman in Canada to lead a major labour organization. In 1956, she participated in the Rassemblement, a short-lived political movement led by Pierre Dansereau and Pierre Trudeau.
In 1956, she was elected a vice-president of the Canadian Labour Congress, thus becoming the first woman to achieve a Canada-wide union executive position. She held that office for 32 years, until 1988.
From 1961 until 1966, she was a member of the Quebec Council of Economic Planification (Conseil de planification économique du Québec). In 1973, she was a member of the Economic Council of Canada.
She was vice-president of the New Democratic Party, nominating Tommy Douglas for leader in 1961.
She served as an International Vice-President of the United Food and Commercial Workers. She was also the president of UFCW Canada Local 744P in Quebec. Near the end of her career, she was Executive Assistant to the UFCW Canadian Director, Clifford R. Evans.
She was married to Romeo Mathieu, also a trade unionist. She died of a heart attack in 2010, at the age of 84.

Hammock House (Beaufort, North Carolina)
|
Hammock House (also known as Blackbeard's House) is a historic house in Beaufort, North Carolina that is one of the oldest houses in the state.
The house is believed to be constructed in the early eighteenth century (circa 1700) and is a prominent example of West Indies architecture. There is a tradition that the pirate, Blackbeard (Edward Teach), stayed in the house in the eighteenth century while it was serving as an inn. In the nineteenth century, "[t]he house was used by the Union Army during the Civil War including a company of "Buffaloes" or Southerners who joined the Union forces." On December 15, 2009, the house was featured on Episode 1.11 of Ghost Lab for its connection to Blackbeard.

The Pars robot is an Iranian drone designed to rescue people from drowning.
Pars was developed by Amin Rigi and Amir Tahiri at RTS Lab, a lab working on novel robotic innovations for increasing life safety and living conditions.
The drone is an Aerial robot which is designed and made for saving human lives. The first purpose of developing this robot is rescuing people drowning near coastlines. By improving its applications, it can be used in ships and off shore relief stations. It can also be used in other applications such as real-time monitoring of marine and off shore structures. Its price in 2015 is $9,185.
History
A prototype of the robot was tested at the Caspian sea August 2013. Different aspects of the robot were successfully tested in a seven-day period. The efficiency of the robot was better when a competition was made between the robot and a lifeguard, in which the robot delivered a life tube to a victim who was 75 meters from the beach in 22 seconds, while the lifeguard took 90 seconds to reach the victim.
First real-life use will be in Brazil, Italy and Mexico in April 2015.

Tony Swatton
|
Tony Swatton is a British-American blacksmith and gemcutter from Hammersmith, London, England. He is best known for creating props for films and television programmes. He was also the host of the popular webseries, Man at Arms.
Biography
Swatton is a self-educated blacksmith and a trained jeweller. When he was young, he used to cut gems and later expanded his skillset to include silversmithing. When he was 15, he met Jody Samson who had worked on the Conan the Barbarian film, and started to swap gems with Samson for knives. Unable to afford a knife, Swatton made one out of a file and showed it to Samson. Samson told him that it would break easily, as he hadn't used the right metal or type of treatment.
When he was 17, Swatton attended a renaissance fair where he observed another blacksmith making armour. Swatton then made copies of the blacksmith's equipment and used them to make his own helmet. When he was 26, he opened his first shop in North Hollywood called Sword and Stone where he sold products to Euro Disney and Michael Jackson. In 1991, he was employed to do his first film work on Hook. Between 1994 and 1998, Samson worked in Swatton's shop.
Webseries
Swatton was involved in Man at Arms after he was approached by the director. The director was looking for a blacksmith who could create twelve particular weapons and approached Swatton. Swatton accepted as he had previously built prop versions of several of the weapons that had been listed to be created by the director. In the webseries, Swatton created real versions of fictional weapons and armour. Some of his creations included the Zenith Blade from League of Legends and Wolverine's claws from X-Men. The last episode featuring the creations of Tony aired in June 2014.
Beginning in April 2015, Swatton has starred in Blizzard Entertainment's intermittent Azeroth Armory webseries, in which he forges iconic weapons from the Warcraft video game series, with episodes typically released as part of the marketing push for new World of Warcraft expansions.
Personal
Swatton has a fiancée. In 2013, he obtained American citizenship. Swatton was once a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism but left after other members wouldn't acknowledge hits on them from Swatton in mock battles, which led to him having to use force which caused Swatton to leave because he said he didn't want to be a bully.
Film credits
Swatton has been credited and even gone uncredited in many films and TV shows for his contribution to the props departments, making weapons or armour for them, some of the credited performances that he has been given are as follows:

2014 Malawian general election
|
General elections were held in Malawi on 20 May 2014. They were Malawi's first tripartite elections, the first time the president, National Assembly and local councillors were elected on the same day. The presidential election was won by opposition candidate Peter Mutharika of the Democratic Progressive Party, who defeated incumbent President Joyce Banda.
Background
Malawi's CPI increased by 27.7% in 2013, but its GDP grew by only 5%. Malawi has maintained a polity score of 6 since 2005, designating it as a democracy. Malawi's previous presidential election in 2009 was only the fourth such election in the country's history following the end of Hastings Banda's period of one-man rule in 1994.
Bingu wa Mutharika, who had won the 2004 election, picked his foreign minister Joyce Banda to be vice president after successfully contesting the 2009 election. She was expelled from the Democratic Progressive Party and formed the People's Party when she refused to endorse President Bingu wa Mutharika's younger brother Peter Mutharika for president in the 2014 general election.
Bingu wa Mutharika died of a heart attack on 5 April 2012, and Joyce Banda took the presidency two days later, in accordance with the constitution, despite protests from some ruling party officials that Banda's expulsion from the ruling party made her ineligible.
The People's Party entered the election with a sitting president, but little in the way of a grass-roots machine.
Presidential candidates
Twelve candidates were allowed to contest in the election by the Malawi Electoral Commission:
Opinion polls
The Malawi Electoral Commission cautions that opinion pollsters in Malawi often have questionable credentials and publish biased reports. Some opinion polls have been criticised for lacking credibility and using non-scientific methods.
Results
Amid a breakdown in electronic systems for relaying results back to IEC headquarters, Banda claimed fraud and attempted to cancel the election after only one third of the votes were counted, and Peter Mutharika, brother of the president who died in 2012, was well ahead. Banda said another vote should be held within 90 days, and she said she would not be standing, but opposition parties and the Malawi Law Society objected.
Court action ensued, but the IEC said the first count would be completed, and a recount started. The result would only be announced after the recount, estimated to take two months. On 30 May 2014, the High Court ruled that any recount must be done within eight days of the vote; since the allowed period had already ended, the court ruled that the electoral commission should announce the results. Accordingly, the electoral commission declared later in the day that Mutharika had won the presidential election with 36.4% of the vote. Another opposition candidate, Lazarus Chakwera of the MCP, received 27.8%, while Banda trailed in third place with 20.2%. The head of the commission, Maxon Mbendera, said that "the rule of law compels us to release the results", although he acknowledged that some of the commission's members had "reservations" about them. Banda quickly said that she accepted the outcome, although she continued to describe the vote as "fraudulent".
Mutharika was sworn in as president on the morning of 31 May 2014. Banda congratulated Mutharika and called for national unity, urging the people to support the new president and wishing him success. An inauguration ceremony for Mutharika was held in Blantyre on 2 June 2014. Banda was not present at the inauguration, held at Kamuzu Stadium, and her absence was viewed by some as a snub, given the history of bitter rivalry between the two. Mutharika said that he was offering an olive branch and wanted to "bury the past", expressing "regret" at Banda's absence. He said that he was not interested in "vengeance", although he added that "those who have broken the law will face the full course of justice".

Skyline Drive (Colorado)
|
Skyline Drive is a scenic roadway in Cañon City, Colorado. It was built by inmate labor in 1905. The road starts from U.S. Highway 50 and gradually inclines up the side of a ridge. When the road crests, it winds, climbs, and falls like a roller coaster until near its end, where a scenic outlook overlooks both the city to the east and the highway to the west.
The single-lane, one-way road rises about above the surrounding terrain. There are no guardrails despite sharp drop-offs, and the drive is about long.
The road ends in a residential neighborhood, and becomes a residential street that intersects with 5th Street, where signs point south toward US 50 and "Historic Downtown Cañon City," allowing drivers to head downtown and return to the highway.
Geology
The drive sits on the top of Skyline Ridge, a hogback composed of upturned Dakota sandstone. Outcrops of the Morrison and the Fountain formations can also be seen. Along the drive is the "Dinosasur trackway," a fenced-off area along the road adjacent to some exposed strata, which showcases the fossilized footprints of ankylosaurs walking towards the west.

Villa Cabrini Academy
|
Villa Cabrini Academy was a private Catholic elementary and high school for girls that operated from 1937 to 1970, under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
The academy was located in Burbank, California, and served the Catholic population of the San Fernando Valley. It was sponsored by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, founded by St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first citizen of the United States to be declared a saint by the Catholic Church.
The school closed in June 1970. Its campus was used as the first location of the new California Institute of the Arts from July 1970 to when the new main campus for CalArts in Valencia, California was completed in November 1971. It was rented for some time, then acquired by Los Angeles Lutheran High School in 1977 and subsequently sold in the mid-1980s to Woodbury University, which moved its operations from its original urban site in Los Angeles to the grounds of the former high school in 1987. The academy chapel was converted into the university library, and the chapel's statues and stained-glass windows were re-installed at the Mother Cabrini Shrine on Colorado's Lookout Mountain.

Doll Domination – The Mini Collection
|
Doll Domination – The Mini Collection is the second extended play (EP) by American girl group the Pussycat Dolls. It was released on May 24, 2009 by Interscope Records. The EP is an extension of the group's second studio album, Doll Domination (2008), including some previously released singles, such as "When I Grow Up", "Whatcha Think About That" and "I Hate This Part", as well as three new songs. The Mini Collection was one of several reissues released throughout 2009 as further promotion for the Doll Domination era, being released in between the European and Australasian legs of the group's Doll Domination Tour. It debuted at number nine on both the Scottish Albums Chart and UK Albums Chart, and would go on to be certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of at least 100,000 in the UK.
The Mini Collection was preceded by the release of the single "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)", an English language remake of A. R. Rahman's original Hindi song "Jai Ho!" from the soundtrack to the film Slumdog Millionaire (2008). The song topped several charts worldwide, including in Australia, Finland, Ireland, Israel and Romania, as well as reaching number three in the UK and number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" was released as the second single, and is a house music remix of the Doll Domination song "Hush Hush". The latter single was less successful, peaking in the top 10 of several European record charts as well as in Australia, though it reached number 17 in the UK and number 73 in the United States.
"Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" and "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" both attracted controversy for prominently featuring the group's lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, which ended up leading to a public outburst from the Pussycat Dolls' secondary lead vocalist Melody Thornton about the lack of attention that the other group members got. The release of the latter marked the last song to be promoted during the Doll Domination era and a subsequent hiatus was announced following the end of the Doll Domination Tour in September 2009. Later that year, the members of the group announced their departures one by one, which resulted in the eventual disbandment of the Pussycat Dolls by 2010. The Mini Collection and "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" would serve as the group's final album and single releases, respectively, until they decided to reunite in 2019, going on to release a new single "React" in 2020.
Background and release
In September 2009, lead singer Nicole Scherzinger confirmed that the Pussycat Dolls were exploring ways to continue promoting their second studio album Doll Domination (2008), during an interview with Billboard magazine's Gary Graff. He called the album a commercial disappointment, noting that it had sold less than 400,000 copies in the United States, at the same time as confirming that a re-release was set to be released under the title of Doll Domination 2.0. Scherzinger explained to Graff that "it's a new life, a new push for Doll Domination. In this industry these days, that's what we're trying to do, always put new music out there and get people to pay attention. So this is a way for people to get new songs of ours and for people who haven't picked up the album so far to get another spin of our music."
Beginning in April 2009, several reissues of Doll Domination were released, including "The Mini Collection, which is a six-track extended play (EP), the Doll Domination – Re-edition in Germany, Doll Domination 2.0 primarily in Australia, and Doll Domination 3.0 across Europe. A second EP version of the album was also released in Germany entitled Doll Domination – Re-edition EP which is similar to The Mini Collection but adds two further songs: including the Doll Domination single "Bottle Pop" (2009), which features Snoop Dogg, and the "We Love to Entertain You" mix of "Takin' Over the World". The EP also uses the original Doll Domination cover art. All of the reissues vary in length but share in common the inclusion of the Pussycat Dolls' then-most recent single "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" (2009), their new song "Painted Windows", and "Hush Hush; Hush Hush", a remix of the song "Hush Hush" that was included on the original release of Doll Domination.
Music and lyrics
Doll Domination – The Mini Collection is a six-song extended play that has a length of 26 minutes and 3 seconds, featuring a mixture of newly recorded/released songs and previous singles from Doll Domination. The former was released on April 24, 2009, and includes "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)", "Painted Windows", and the remix song "Hush Hush; Hush Hush", a new version of the original song "Hush Hush" included on Doll Domination. The remainder of the EP comprises the group's 2008 singles, "When I Grow Up", "Whatcha Think About That" and "I Hate This Part".
The Mini Collection was preceded by the single release of a brand new song, "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)", which is an English language remake of the original Hindi song "Jai Ho" that was included on the soundtrack to the film Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Speaking about how the song was created, co-writer Evan Kidd Bogart said that "they [ Fair and Iovine ] wanted to get a bunch of different versions to see who could nail a version for the Pussycat Dolls." He recalled that once all interpretations were complete, "they [Fair and Iovine] took parts of The Writing Camp version, parts of Ester Dean's version, and parts of another version, and they put them together, and then Nicole [Scherzinger] and Ron [Fair] filled in the blanks that they thought were missing". Bogart additionally stated that it was "a very unique and awkward way of writing a song". Scherzinger, Fair, Dean, Bogart, Erika Nuri, David Quiñones, Candace Thorbourne, and Nailah and Nyanda Thorbourne received credit for writing the track, while its production was handled by Fair and Scherzinger. The song was recorded in London, with Scherzinger and A.R. Rahman corresponding via webcam. Scherzinger's version replaces the original's Hindi words with English lyrics, including the chorus, "You are the reason that I breathe/ You are the reason that I still believe/ You are my destiny/ Jai ho." Stephanie Nolen of The Globe and Mail described the lyrics as "racier than the original Hindi words "by Indian poet Gulzar"."
"When I Grow Up" is an uptempo electropop song, built around "bouncy synth lines" and a "thudding" bassline and alongside heavy usage of sirens, handclaps and pitch-shifted vocals. According to The New York Timess Jon Pareles, Scherzinger adopts similar vocal stylings on the song to Britney Spears with her "breathiness against the song's sirens, shouts and pumping beat". Ironically, the song was originally written with Spears in mind but was rejected by her record label Jive Records at the time of the creation of Spears' fifth studio album Blackout (2007). Scherzinger then recorded the song for her own debut studio album, before deciding it was a better fit for the Pussycat Dolls. Once "When I Grow Up" was given to Scherzinger, and eventually the Pussycat Dolls, it was reworked and recorded by Paul Foley, "Mike "Handz" Donaldson, and Roberto "Tito" Vazquez at 2nd Floor Studios in Orlando, Florida and Chalice Studios, and mixed by Spike Stent and
Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins at Chalice Studios in Los Angeles. The Yardbirds' drummer Jim McCarty and bassist Paul Samwell-Smith both received co-writing credits on the song, as a result of its sample of "He's Always There" (1966). The song was described by the Los Angeles Times as the album's ideological centrepiece.Writing for the newspaper, August Brown, Mikael Wood and Randy Lewis said, "Built off a filling-loosening house beat and the Dolls' smug cackling, it's so shameless in its celebration of the monoculture of moneyed youth that it transcends taste. It's more of a '95 Theses' as penned by Kim Kardashian and nailed to Viacom's front door with the shards of a broken BlackBerry – we demand to be on TV; to drive nice cars; to have groupies." These themes were noticed by Yahoo! Music's Jaime Gill, who called "When I Grow Up" a "dark, dissonant club banger".
A R&B and electropop midtempo song, "Whatcha Think About That" sees the group "laying down the law to a deadbeat boyfriend" over a melody of chants, and vocal harmonies and bhangra-ish guitar. A reviewer for Newsday noted that they sounded "sleek and empowered" on the song. "Whatcha Think About That" features guest verses from Missy Elliott and a sample of "Je M'appelle Jane", written by Mickael Furnon and performed by Jane Birkin. Noah from Idolator wrote that the song is reminiscent of Whitney Houston's single "I'm Your Baby Tonight" (1990). Elliott references Katy Perry and her 2008 song "I Kissed a Girl" during one of the verses with the lyric, "Up in that club it's just me and my girls, play like Katy Perry kissing on girls."
Meanwhile, "Painted Windows" reunited the Pussycat Dolls with Rodney Jerkins who produced "When I Grow Up" and "Elevator" for Doll Domination, with the song being described by Digital Spy's Nick Levine as "stomping and scuzzy in equal measure". A reviewer for Rap-Up teased that Melody Thornton could actually be heard singing on "Painted Windows", a nod to the fact that Scherzinger is credited for lead vocals and Thornton for additional lead vocals in liner notes for The Mini Collection.
Slant Magazine referred to "I Hate This Part" as an international hit, commenting that the "songwriting is strong enough to forgive whatever similarities the song has to Kylie Minogue's 'All I See' (2008) and Jordin Sparks's "One Step at a Time" (2008)". Yahoo! News referred to the song as an "understated ballad". "I Hate This Part" was written by Wayne Hector, Lucas, Jonas Jeberg and Mich Hansen, while produced by the latter of the two along with Fair and Scherzinger, with Fair also serving as the song's vocal producer. The song was recorded at the Cutfather Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark and at The Boiler Room in Santa Monica, California by Mike "Angry" Eleopoulos, Tal Herzber and Jeberg with the assistance of Johnathan Merritt. It was later mixed by Peter Mokran and Eric Weaver at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California. All instrumentation and programming was carried out by Jeberg. While recording the song, Scherzinger said that she was inspired by English rock singer Sting and American rock singer Steve Perry. "I Hate This Part" is a pop ballad, with influences of R&B and dance music. Instrumentation consists of a mournful piano, faux strings and syncopated rhythms. Like "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" was also originally intended for Scherzinger's solo debut studio album Her Name Is Nicole, which was shelved.
The Mini Collection closes with "Hush Hush; Hush Hush", a house music remix of the song "Hush Hush". The new remix incorporates elements of Gloria Gaynor's 1978 disco song "I Will Survive". It was debuted and performed during the group's Doll Domination Tour, during the section where each member performed solo. Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris received co-writing credits for the song, due to the interpolation of "I Will Survive", which includes quotation of the original string arrangement by David Blumberg. "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" was produced by Fair, Dave Audé and Quiz & Larossi, while Scherzinger handled vocal production and arrangement with Fair.
Singles
"Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" premiered on DesiHits and was issued for digital download as the lead single from The Mini Collection on February 23, 2009, a day after Rahman won Best Original Song for "Jai Ho" and Best Original Score for the soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire at the 81st Academy Awards. An accompanying music video was released on March 13 of that year, which was directed by Thomas Kloss and filmed at the Wiener Linien tram museum in Vienna, Austria. In the clip, the group recreate the last scene from Slumdog Millionaire. Upon its release, the song topped several charts around the world, including in Australia, Finland, Ireland, Israel, and Romania, as well as reaching number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, in the group's native country of the US. In the United Kingdom, "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Charts and as of 2017, it has sold 605,000 copies in the country as well as amassing 5.3 million streams to become the Pussycat Doll's second biggest selling single in the UK, behind their debut single "Don't Cha" (2005). The single was included as part of the group's set list for their support slot on Spears' The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour and as one of the encore songs on the set list of the group's own Doll Domination Tour.
The EP's second single was "Hush Hush; Hush Hush", a remix of the group's Doll Domination song, "Hush Hush". The single was scheduled to be released on April 28, 2009, with the pre-order's cover art having Scherzinger's name credited as a featured artist; this led to dissatisfaction with other members and media reports speculated that Scherzinger's exit from the group was imminent. The song's music video premiered on May 22, 2009 and was directed by Rich Lee. Despite the controversy, "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" peaked in the top 10 of several national record charts, including number four in Belgium (Wallonia) and Slovakia, number five in Finland and France, number six in Belgium (Flanders), and number ten in Australia.
Reception and impact
Critical reception
Nick Levine from Digital Spy said of The Mini Collection that "at first glance, this release seems more than a little strange," suggesting "after scoring their biggest hit of the Doll Domination era with 'Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)', [...] the next move seemed obvious. Tack the Slumdog-sampling smash onto the end of the original album, add a couple more new tunes and call it a 'Deluxe Edition'." However, Levine noted that due to changes in music consumption, fans could now purchase albums track by track, so The Mini Collection made sense. Rounding up his review, Levine praised the label's decision to assemble the EP "without the padding that bogged down the original." He awarded The Mini Collection four out of five stars.
Legacy
The EP's lead single "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" listed Scherzinger as a featured artist, while follow up single "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" initially listed Scherzinger on the song. While opening for The Circus Starring Britney Spears (2009) in Glendale, Arizona, Melody Thornton addressed the crowd during the break, saying, "[...] [l]et me give a shout-out to my family. Thank you for supporting me, even if I'm not featured," referring to the billing of the singles, and encouraging the audience to follow their dreams and to "never let anyone stomp on them, ever". Scherzinger later spoke about her billing as a featured artist during a radio interview: "It's no big deal, that doesn't take away from anybody else in the group. That's my role. I wrote 'Hush Hush' as well." Following the controversy, Hush Hush; Hush Hush was ultimately released as a digital download on May 12, 2009 without Scherzinger's billing as a featured artist.
In September 2009, following the conclusion of the Doll Domination Tour, the Pussycat Dolls would begin a hiatus, with confirmation from group founder Robin Antin confirming that new members would be joining Scherzinger after the hiatus. By the end of 2010, each of the members of the group had departed, with Scherzinger being the last to leave. The News of the World reported that Scherzinger would be pursuing a solo career. The Mini Collection and "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" became the group's last releases, until in 2019 when they announced their reunion. Not all members were taking part in the reunion; Carmit Bachar, who had departed before the release of Doll Domination, would be joining fellow members Ashley Roberts, Scherzinger, Jessica Sutta and Kimberly Wyatt for the reunion but Thornton would not be joining. In 2020, the Pussycat Dolls released a new single "React".
Commercial performance
In the UK, The Mini Collection debuted at number nine on the UK Albums Chart, with first-week sales of 13,676 according to Music Week; in the same article, it was noted that the full album Doll Domination had dropped out of the UK charts six weeks prior to the release of The Mini Collection, having sold 205,881 copies at the time of writing. This was less than a sixth of what the group's debut studio album PCD (2006) had sold in the UK, 1,246,769 copies at the time of writing. As of June 2009, The Mini Collection had sold over 70,000 copies in the UK. In March 2020, the EP was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), denoting 100,000 sales in the UK.

Field of Lies
|
Lügenfeld, Lugenfeild, or Field of Lies (833 CE) was the name for a battle/encounter that took place between Louis the Pious, the Carolingian Emperor and his rebellious sons. When his sons and their forces met up near Colmar in Alsace, Louis the Pious' sworn supporters infamously deserted him to join his sons.
Background
Louis the Pious, Holy Roman Emperor, inherited a vast empire from his father Charlemagne in 814 CE. This vast territory included all of western Europe excluding the British Isles, the small Christian northern Spanish states, Muslim Spain and Byzantine southern Italy and Sicily. It is often suggested that Louis the Pious’ reign marks the beginning of a period of decline of what had been his father, Charlemagne’s powerful empire, leading to the eventual decline of the Carolingians.
Louis’ role as Emperor carried with it the ecclesiastical basis for universal power; the concept that one of the Emperors duties was to protect the Church against dangers which might threaten its ability to correctly teach and spread the faith. The title of Holy Roman Emperor brought new ideas of inheritance. Possessing a universal authority to preserve the Church meant preserving the unity of the empire. In the past, Merovingian and Carolingian predecessors like Charlemagne treated kingdoms as private estates and, at death, the territory was divided among the sons. The early Carolingian idea of dividing up the territories of the kingdom among sons began to change. The reasoning behind passing along a kingdom undivided was casually linked to the Carolingian dynasty and their affiliation to the Catholic Church, establishing the notion of a Christian empire. Following this reasoning, for Louis to divide up the empire among his sons was to commit a mortal sin, he would be breaking up a true Christian empire that protected Catholic faith. The unity of the empire had to be maintained, thus, in a special ceremony Louis prayed to God for inspiration to decide which son should be the inheritor. The eldest of the three, Lothar, was selected and was then associated with imperial authority, crowned co-emperor and ordered to look after and rule over his younger brothers, Pepin and Louis. These actions were to have serious consequences for both the succession to the throne, and integrity of the Frankish realm.
After the death of his first wife, Louis married Judith, who bore him another son, Charles, in 823 CE. The accommodations required when a new heir was born brought on a crisis in the family. This included dissatisfied nobles and greedy bishops persuading Louis the Pious’ sons, that in reality their father wished to destroy their inheritance. Louis the Pious’ attempt to make Charles co-heir to the Frankish kingdom caused agitation among his sons.
Main Players
Louis the Pious (778-840 CE)
Lothar (795-855 CE)
Lothar was Louis the Pious' first-born son and heir to his empire. He led his two younger brothers in a revolt against their father in 833 CE, and fought a war against his brother Louis II and their half-brother, Charles.
Pepin (797-838 CE)
He was Louis the Pious' second son, he received the territory of Aquitaine in his father’s kingdom. He participated in a rebellion with his brothers against their father.
Louis II (806-876 CE)
He was the third son of Louis the Pious. He received the territory of Germania also known as East Francia. He also received the title King of Bavaria from his grandfather Charlemagne upon his death.
Charles II (823-877 CE)
Louis the Pious youngest son born to his second wife. He received title of Holy Roman Emperor in 875 CE.
Pope Gregory IV (795-844 CE)
Pope Gregory IV became Bishop of Rome in 827 CE and had previously held the title of Cardinal Priest of Basilica of St Mark. His papacy is notable due to his involvement in the disagreements between Louis the Pious and his sons.
Event
"Evil communications corrupt good manners."
The division of the realm between Lothar and Charles stirred up Frankish aristocrats. The various dissatisfied nobles and clans of the Frankish realm caused Lothar, Pepin and Louis to form a common league against their father and to muster a large army of supporters. The brothers called upon Pope Gregory IV hoping that he of all people could help reconcile father to sons. Rumors began to circulate that if there was any disobedience to the Pope’s will or that of Louis the Pious’ sons, the Pope would excommunicate Louis the Pious and his bishops.
An assembly was held in Alsace in 833 CE. This assembly included the convergence of Louis the Pious, his three elder sons, their respective forces and Pope Gregory (with his entourage). This event was to be known as the Field of Lies, because those who had sworn fealty to the emperor betrayed him to join his sons. It was here that Louis had to confront his sons and their moral pretext of defending the realm.
As Louis stood in battle formation he received Pope Gregory. The Pope reported hearing that Louis was having an ongoing struggle between his sons and that Gregory was there to help them all to gain peace. Louis stated his position and Pope Gregory returned to the Emperor's sons, but his efforts to attain a mutual peace was in vain. Due to bribes, threats or seduction by promises, Louis’ sworn supporters were surging to the side of his sons and joining their followers. The defection grew in momentum as the days passed and Lothar, Pepin and Louis were threatening to launch an attack on their father. Louis found himself in a position where, if an armed conflict were to take place, he would be overwhelmed by his sons' forces.
The Emperor agreed to meet his sons on the field. There, Louis told them to remember the promises they had made to him and his son (Charles) then proceeded to their camp. They told their father to abandon his camp and join them at theirs, which he did. At the camp of Lothar, Pepin and Louis, Louis the Pious was held in a pavilion designed for the specific purpose of keeping him at the camp.
Aftermath
After these events, the empire was partitioned among the brothers in a threefold division. Pope Gregory departed for Italy, Pepin returned to Aquitaine, and Louis returned to Bavaria. Charles was banished to Italy and his mother was sent to a convent. Lothar took their father Louis with him as he continued on with his many duties. As Lothar traveled across his territory, he kept his father under constant watch. He also received an embassy from the Byzantine Emperor at Constantinople. He accepted the gifts and withheld the gifts designated for his father. He sent the gifts home along with the news of the tragedy, and fall from grace of Louis the Pious.
Louis the Pious then performed a public display of penance for his crimes against the empire and God. After the imprisoned Emperor performed his penance, his son Louis was compelled to make peace with him for the unity of the empire. After another shift of loyalties, Lothar fled to Burgundy and Louis the Pious was restored to power in 834 CE.

Rothenberg Ventures
|
Rothenberg Ventures, known briefly as Frontier Technology Venture Capital, was an American venture capital firm based in San Francisco, California, and founded in 2012 by Mike Rothenberg. It invested in more than 100 companies, including Bustle, Robinhood, Revel Systems, and SpaceX, and focused its investments on virtual reality and other frontier technologies. As of January 2021, the firm's status with the California Franchise Tax Board is "forfeited".
According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Mike Rothenberg "orchestrated a years-long, massive fraud and posed a substantial risk of loss to investors, with $18.8 million misappropriated." Mike Rothenberg resigned from the firm in October 2018 and agreed to be barred from the securities industry with a right to reapply after five years.
On December 20, 2019, Judge Jon S. Tigar for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ordered Mike Rothenberg to pay disgorgement of $18,776,800, prejudgment interest of $3,663,323, and a civil penalty of $9,000,000.
In June 2020, Mike Rothenberg was arrested and charged with 23 federal felony fraud charges, facing decades in prison if convicted. The Department of Justice's news release states: "Magistrate Judge Westmore ordered Rothenberg released on $250,000 bond pending the outcome of the case. Rothenberg’s next appearance was scheduled for August 27, 2020, at 10:30 a.m. The case is being prosecuted by the Special Prosecutions Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The case is being investigated by the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigations."
History
Founded in 2012, the firm began with a $5 million seed fund raised by Rothenberg.
On November 4, 2013, data research company Mattermark awarded Rothenberg Ventures' portfolio its highest average ranking.
Rothenberg Ventures built the world's first virtual-reality startup accelerator, River, and has invested in 30-plus VR companies to date, including AltSpaceVR, Fove, and Matterport.
In May 2014 Rothenberg Ventures hosted Founder Field Day at Oracle Park, then known as AT&T Park. Hundreds of founders were selected, given customized schedules, and attended fireside chats by industry luminaries in Rothenberg Venture's network. The day ended in a Third Eye Blind concert at The Fillmore. The day was free for all attendees. The firm hosts 8-10 curated networking events a month. The event was the subject of a Harvard Business School case. The case study was covered in a TechCrunch article titled "For HBS students, a case study in what not to do."
Portfolio and exits
Rothenberg Ventures invested early in unicorn companies such as Revel, Robinhood, Gusto, and SpaceX, among others, including Patreon, August Locks, Luxe, Bustle, SOLS, Matterport.
The firm has had 20 liquidity events to date: including Swing by Swing, Propeller, and 1-Page. 1-Page went public gaining a 20x return for Rothenberg venture's investors. Robinhood, valued at $5.6 Billion, is poised for an IPO in late 2019.
Controversies
Rothenberg Ventures became the subject of an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2016, and multiple lawsuits have been filed against the firm. In 2018, the SEC charged Mike Rothenberg and Rothenberg Ventures with fraud. In July 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) opened an investigation into Rothenberg Ventures' financial management practices, centering on allegations of excessive executive compensation without investors' knowledge. Media reports have cited bank fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, whistleblower retaliation, and wire fraud as possible areas of investigation, which the SEC has not confirmed.
Several executives left the company during July and August 2016, including Fran Hauser, who had served as a venture partner since May 2014. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against the company, including one by a former chief of staff alleging Rothenberg Ventures owed payments to 50 employees, and another by a former chief financial officer who claimed he was never paid back for more than $100,000 in business expenses. Rothenberg was ordered to pay its former CFO $166,000 in damages on October 30, 2017.
Mike Rothenberg has been accused of investing $5 million from Rothenberg Ventures' second and third funds in his own startup company, River Studios, a VR production house established in May 2015. River Studios' first contract was with Birchbox, and the company has subsequently created VR content for Björk, Coldplay, the Denver Broncos, and the Sacramento Kings. A third party forensic accounting firm was able to reconcile the finances and confirmed that they were consistent with the agreements with the LPs. In 2017, Transcend VR sued Mike Rothenberg on allegations of breach of contract and settled out of court. "We look forward to a continuation of Mike's highly ranked performance as a venture fund manager and are pleased to continue as an investor with Rothenberg Ventures", said Dominic Polizzotto, manager of Transcend VR and affiliate Transcend Frontier, LLC.
The company's name was briefly changed to Frontier Tech Ventures, from September 2016 to February 2017. In October 2016, San Francisco's Planning Department received notification that the firm was operating from a building not properly permitted for use as general office space. The property, which was reportedly purchased in 2015 for $4.5 million, also housed co-working space for startup and portfolio companies, including Liquidspace. In late 2016, Rothenberg Ventures was mentioned in year-end stories about corporate crises by Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, and Business Insider.
in 2018, Rothenburg filed a lawsuit against Silicon Valley Bank, which accuses them of negligence, deceit, fraud, and unfair business practices. The suit, which seeks a jury trial, alleges the bank "created the false appearance that the management company and Mr. Rothenberg had wrongfully misappropriated millions in investor funds." The firm intended to use the deposited fees as collateral for a loan, which it wanted to complete before the end of the year, according to the suit. On Dec. 23, Rothenberg instructed the bank to set up an account owned by the 2015 investment fund for that purpose, according to the lawsuit, and the bank did so on the same day. The bank, however, didn't have enough time to complete its customary three-week internal control process before the year-end, the suit says. So it took a shortcut, the suit says, creating a new account owned by the management company without telling Rothenberg.
On August 20, 2018, the SEC charged Mike Rothenberg and Rothenberg Ventures with fraud. Rothenberg settled the charges without admitting guilt, and has stepped down from his position. As part of the settlement, Rothenberg does not admit guilt but has agreed to be barred from the brokerage and investment advisory business with a right to reapply after five years.
In August 2019, Deloitte completed a financial audit, resulting in the SEC seeking over $31m in penalties from Mike Rothenberg. In January 2020, Mike Rothenberg was ordered to pay $31.4 million to settle a court ruling favoring the SEC allegations. Rothenberg was found to have funneled millions of dollars from investors to support his flashy lifestyle, building a race car team, and to fund a virtual reality studio.

Rothenberg is facing a new criminal trial in 2023 since a previous jury failed to reach a verdict.

Matthew 27:9–10
|
Matthew 27:9-10 are the ninth and tenth verses of the twenty-seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. These verses end the final story of Judas Iscariot, with a quotation from scripture showing how the events around his final days were predicted.
Content
The original Koine Greek, according to Westcott and Hort, reads:
9 τοτε επληρωθη το ρηθεν δια ιερεμιου του προφητου λεγοντος και ελαβον τα
τριακοντα αργυρια την τιμην του τετιμημενου ον ετιμησαντο απο υιων ισραηλ
10 και εδωκαν αυτα εις τον αγρον του κεραμεως καθα συνεταξεν μοι κυριος
In the King James Version of the Bible it is translated as:
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him
that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
The modern World English Bible translates the passage as:
9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
"They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had
been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me."
For a collection of other versions see BibleHub Matthew 27:9-10
Analysis
This is the final of many references to the Hebrew Bible in the Gospel of Matthew. It is introduced using a standard Matthean opening. The introduction of this verse exactly matches that of the other reference to Jeremiah at Matthew 2:17.
Like many of the Hebrew Bible quotations in Matthew, the author has liberally reworked these verses from the source material. The verse nowhere exactly matches any Old Testament texts, but the closest is Zechariah 11:13. The WEB translation of these verses is:
13 Yahweh said to me, "Throw it to the potter, the handsome price
that I was valued at by them!" I took the thirty pieces of silver,
and threw them to the potter, in Yahweh’s house.
One immediate complication with this verse is that if it is quoting Zechariah, why does the author attribute it to Jeremiah? This misattribution has been noted since the earliest days of Christianity, and a number of explanations have been given. Many scholars, including Augustine and Jerome, have accepted that this was simply a mistake on the part of the writer.
Eusebius argued that the verse originally had Zechariah, and a scribe erroneously substituted one prophet for the other. Some early copies of the Gospel do omit the name Jeremiah, but the earliest versions all have Jeremiah, and the evidence is overwhelming that that is the original version. The other editions are later scribes noticing the problem and trying to correct it. It may be that the reference to Jeremiah, the first book in the division of Jewish scripture known as the Prophets, was intended as a reference to the whole; in Luke 24:44 Jesus similarly refers to the collection of books known as the Writings by the title of the first book in that division, the Psalms, and the failure to attribute quotes to Zechariah in the four other New Testament verses where that book is quoted (Matt. 21:4-5; 26:31; John 12:12-15; 19:37) lends some support to this explanation. Other arguments to preserve Biblical inerrancy are that Jeremiah was a shorthand to refer to any of the prophets; that as a prophecy of doom it was a Jeremiah type prophecy, and that was what is being indicated; or that the verse is not referring to Zechariah 11:13, but rather to a work of Jeremiah that is now lost. There are several ancient documents that claim to be that lost work of Jeremiah, but all date to some centuries later, and show clear Christian influence. They are themselves based on Matthew 27:9-10 rather than the reverse.
A more complex theory is that this verse is drawing on material from both Jeremiah and Zechariah, but only attributes it to the former. The Oxford Annotated Bible states that the text in Zechariah 11:12-13 "form a Midrash on Jeremiah 18–19".
There are some links to Jeremiah in these verses. The prophet buys a field in Jeremiah 32 and visits a potter at . Some scholars argue that the author of Matthew seems to have been drawing on both Zechariah and Jeremiah, with certain words and phrases drawn from the LXX version of Jeremiah. Raymond E. Brown and Davies and Allison both accept this theory. Robert H. Gundry disagrees. To him the verses at Jeremiah 18 and 32 have no relation to each other, and only a tenuous links to these verses.

Xi'e
|
Xi'e (Chinese: , p Xī'è) was a region of ancient China in present-day Henan and Hubei. Under the Qin and Han dynasties and during the Three Kingdoms period, Xi'e County (t , s , Xī'èxiàn) was also a county in the Nanyang Commandery.
Name
Xi'e (lit. "Western E") took its name from the E, a Shang-dynasty vassal state probably originally located in modern Shanxi. The name is now pronounced as a brief, hard schwa (IPA: ), but the ancient pronunciation of the name has been reconstructed as closer to *Ngˤak. Around the time of the Qin, therefore, "Xi'e" would have been pronounced something like *Snˤər Ngˤak. By the Jin, it would have been Middle Chinese Ser Ngak.
History
During the Zhou, E was forced to relocate at least twice under pressure from Jin and Chu. Absorbed by Chu in 863 BC, E was adopted as the state's capital by a number of Chu kings prior to their final conquest by Shi Huangdi in 223 BC. Ezhou then became a province under the Qin and Han.
Thereafter, Xi'e was a county in the Nanyang Commandery during the Qin and Han dynasties and the Three Kingdoms period.
Famous residents
It was the birthplace of Zhang Heng (AD 78–139), a famous Chinese polymath of the Han dynasty. Du Xi served as its chief () around the end of the 2nd century. Luo Xian (d. 270) was proclaimed Marquis of Xi'e () late in life as part of the creation of the Jin at the end of the Three Kingdoms period.

Aasmanon Pay Likha

Aasmanon Pay Likha () (meaning Written on skies) is a TV show that aired on Geo Entertainment television. It stars Sajal Ali and Sheheryar Munawar in lead roles.
Plot
Qudsia (Sajal Ali) is a middle-class girl who dreams of a simple married life. Unfortunately, her in-laws demand a hefty sum of dowry. Qudsia's family were not able to pay the dowry. Her father eventually has a heart attack after getting insulted. Aaliyan (Sheheryar Munawar), who has come to attend his employee's daughter's wedding, ends up marrying Qudsia.
Qudsia marries Aaliyan, who doesn't believe in the nikkah as he only sees it as a deal to protect her and is still adamant about marrying his longtime fiancée Natasha. Aaliyan's family bursts on him for marrying such a girl without informing them.
Aaliyan is close to his Dadi. Aaliyan (Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui) tells his Dadi about the drama. His Dadi says that she'll try to resolve the matter. She goes to Qudsia's house to talk, but she realises that Qudsia's father will not survive her divorce. He says that as long as Qudsia is happy and married, he will be fine. Dadi takes Qudsia back home.
Natasha is again angry with Aaliyan, leaves his room, and runs into Qudsia. She gets even more upset. Aaliyan asks Dadi why she brought Qudsia with her again. Dadi explains the entire matter to him. He says he'll divorce her, but his Dadi warns him not to do so. Dadi tells him how good Qudsia is and how this will affect her and her family though it is not even her mistake.
After some days, Qudsia's father decides to work again. He goes to the office where Aaliyan's father insults him and his daughter, and he gets a heart attack leading to his death. Qudsia gets depressed and breaks down in front of Aaliyan. Aaliyan supports her and consoles her.
Later he returns to his house, where everyone is angry with him. He decides to go back to Qudsia's place. He goes there and stays there. Later he tells Qudsia that he has to leave. Qudsia requests him to stay as it is raining. But Aaliyan does not listen. But his car breaks down. So he stays there.
The next day, Natasha comes there angrily and takes Aaliyan with her. Natasha and Aaliyan soon get married and live in America. Qudsia gets a job at Aaliyan's biological mother's place. She cares for her, unaware that she is Aaliyan's biological mother.
Meanwhile, relations between Aaliyan and Natasha are not good. Natasha keeps thinking that Aaliyan is cheating on her. Soon they come to Pakistan. Natasha is mad at Aaliyan every day on one or the other matter. Shamsa (Saba Hameed) (Aaliyan's biological mother) starts liking Qudsia for Shehnawas (Shamsa's brother-in-law), whose wife has died.
Shamsa then visits Aaliyan's Dadi. She gives her address and asks her to give it to Aaliyan. Dadi gives it to Aaliyan and asks him to meet her. He then goes to her but is angry at her as she left him while he was young. Shamsa gets emotional and wishes to talk to him and hug him, but he refuses and then leaves. Shamsa then tells Qudsia that today his son came and met her. Qudsia is happy for her. Shamsa then tells her something where she mentions Aaliyan, and glass falls from Qudsia's hands as she is in deep shock.
After a few days, Aaliyan again visits his mother. He is furious and wants to know why she left him. As he gets off his car, he meets Shehnawas and his daughter. His daughter greets him and says, "Nice to meet you, uncle." to which he replies, "Nice to meet you." and then sees Qudsia and says, "Again". They then enter the house, where Aaliyan continues to shout at his mother as she cries. He then leaves.
Later Shamsa's health worsens as she has cancer at the last stage. Aaliyan comes there. She says she wants to hug him, but he refuses and leaves. Soon Shamsa passes away. Qudsia kept calling Aaliyan, but he couldn't answer as he was asleep. Later when he goes to the hospital, he breaks down in tears and hugs his mother.
He asks his Dad about his mother and then learns that she wasn't a bad woman. He shouts and leaves. His Dad comes to his Dadi and yells at her on various matters, which causes her death. When Aaliyan returns to her, he keeps talking to her and realizes that she has died. He again breaks down in tears.
Later Shahnawaz informs Qudsia about her death which results in Qudsia crying. She tries calling Aaliyan. Aaliyan calls on Shamsa's phone, which he was sure that Qudsia would pick up, and she did. He cries on the phone, as does Qudsia. Qudsia then goes to Aaliyan's place and consoles him. While she is about to leave, Aaliyan holds her hand and asks her not to go. He says, "Mai bhi ruka tha kyunki tumhe meri zaroorat thi.". She replies, "Aap ruke kyunki aap ki gaadi kharab hogayi thi". He then admits that his car did not break down.
Soon his dad arrives and insults Qudsia. She runs out of the room, and Natasha arrives there. She slaps her and insults her. Shahnawaz comes and takes her back. Later Aaliyan comes to Qudsia and tells Shahnawaz about him and Qudsia. Aaliyan tells Qudsia that he needs her. She says that their marriage was a contract. Aaliyan requests that she should never call their marriage a contract. She says to give her a divorce. He says, "Pehle tum divorce nahi chahti thi aur ab mai ...mai tumhe divorce nahi dunga". She again says to give her a divorce. He holds her hand, brings her closer, and says she is his wife. She says being a wife does not mean that whenever he wants, he can hold her hands, and whenever he feels he can leave. He apologizes to her. He then says he will come the next day and asks her to be ready. When he reaches home, Natasha shouts and says she can't live with him anymore. She goes to America. Later Aaliyan's dad goes and insults Qudsia, to which she answers sincerely. The show ends with Aaliyan and Qudsia happy together.
