Given that South Africa operates within a flexible exchange rate regime, the value of the rand, like any commodity, is determined by the market forces of supply and demand. The demand for a currency relative to the supply will determine its value in relation to another currency.
Theoretically, the demand for a floating currency – and hence its value – changes continually based on a multitude of factors. In the case of the rand, its current weakness can be attributed to a myriad of structural problems facing the local economy.
Equally important is the domestic interest rate. If it is high it is likely to attract foreign capital, causing the exchange rate to strengthen. But high inflation can wipe out the benefit of high interest rates to foreign investors.
Additional factors serve to drive the currency down.
These include a current account deficit. The current account deficit gets bigger when a country spends more on foreign trade than it is earning and has to borrow capital from foreign sources to make up the difference.
There is a further complication to currency movements. The buying and selling of currencies is no longer driven only by the need to facilitate trade but also by the demand for currencies as financial assets. This means that currencies are bought and sold like any other asset. Decisions by traders – to buy or sell a currency – can have a marked effect.
South Africa’s currency lost 26% of its value in the six months after turmoil gripped Chinese markets in June 2015. This was when the People’s Bank of China surprised markets by executing a 2% devaluation of the yuan and changing the way it traded its currency. The aim was to weaken the yuan to boost its export competitiveness.
This, coupled with slower economic growth, has aggravated the situation for South Africa as well as other African countries that rely on oil and mineral exports to China. Emerging markets most exposed to lower growth prospects and subdued commodity prices have seen the sharpest falls.
The rand is expected to remain under pressure with many analysts predicting that it will fall further in 2016. It is not alone. Many other emerging market currencies have been dealt the same fate.
But the rand is substantially weaker than it might have been. The sudden reshuffling of the finance ministry was seen as weakening one of the country’s key macroeconomic institutions and continues to undermine market confidence.
The weak rand has a number of implications for the country’s growth prospect. Firstly, the weakening currency carries the risk of pushing up inflation because imported goods are more expensive. This means that the South African Reserve Bank faces a difficult decision. It can keep interest rates low but then faces even higher inflation. This will only devalue the rand further.
If the central bank takes more aggressive action by raising interest rates, it risks stifling growth in an economy that is only growing at 1.5%.
The rand’s weakening could not have come at a worse time for South Africa. The country is suffering from the worst drought since 1992 which has increased food costs and pushed the farming industry into recession. The price of white corn, a staple food in southern Africa, has more than doubled on the South African Futures Exchange in the past year.
With large parts of the economy already in recession, coupled with worsening debt levels and the threat of credit-rating downgrades, it looks like the economy will contract. This implies that Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has limited room to boost spending.
The weak rand will also see the cost of imported goods for consumers rise. In addition, while the rest of the world benefits from record low oil prices, the country’s weaker currency means it will not able to take full advantage of this and may face higher fuel prices in the near future.
On the flip side, the weaker rand does have some benefits. It is helping mines stay afloat. And gold mines could make profits again as the gold price has held up more than the prices of other minerals. There may also be a boost in tourism.
The weaker rand may also have short-term benefits for sub-Saharan countries importing substantial volumes from South Africa.
Finally there may be a boost for local exporters. But this could be stifled by the rise in the price of imported raw materials which will contribute to higher costs of production for manufacturers.
In 2013 the South African rand was ranked as the 18th most-traded currency in the world. Surprisingly, while South Africa accounts for only 0.3% of the world’s daily foreign exchange market turnover, the rand accounts for 1.1% of worlds daily currency trading.
This difference is largely due to the daily trade taking place outside South Africa by non-residents. This is partly a result of virtually no exchange control restrictions for foreigners trading the rand but many in place for South Africans who wish to trade in foreign currency.
This has been highlighted as a further problem faced by the central bank in trying to influence the value of the rand.
Different job categories have different improvements in the marginal productivity: The improvement of many labour intensive jbs have not imroved in productivity as those that have benefited from technological advancements.
The alternative needs to be sacrificed. All the factors of production is fully utilized.
Any combination of the two can be produced.
The opportunity cost for producing A is the B that cannot be produced.
The different alternative combinations that can possibly be produced is represented by the PPC or frontier (given fixed production techniques (ceteris paribus)).
Choice is illustrated by the need to choose among the available combinations along the curve.
Opportunity cost is shown by the fact that more of one good can only be produced by sacrificing the production of the other good (negative slope of the curve) – there is a trade-off between the two goods.
Sacrificing A for B is cheap at the flat end of the graph and expensive at the more vertical end of the graph (and vice versa). Allocative efficiency is attained where the marginal value of A equals the marginal value of B!
When the government imposes price ceilings on goods and services (as it does in some countries with rent controls) or with price floors (as it does in South Africa with the minimum wage legislation and in the US with agricultural price support programmes), it is in effect redefining the rights of sellers regarding the property that they sell. One of the purposes of economics is to analyse the effect of such imposition on their property rights and on the efficiency of trade and production.
3.3 Free Market Foundation legal challenge to making bargaining council agreements (on minimum wages) obligatory to all in an industry even if they were not party to the agreement. The reason for that is to protect the jobs of persons in the smaller more marginal businesses.

Rest week is over and it’s time to get to work…..
Monday is the first day of Week 5 and it’s time to get outside. After working on a new reporting system project for my OTHER job, I’ve got a little stress to get rid of so the plan is to run every little side road down the Hopkins Neck area of Royal Oak. I find that running is the BEST way to relieve stress from all of the jobs and the family. I wouldn’t trade any of it but if I don’t get the chance to physically clear my mind, it can be a bit much. With a recovery week last week, I haven’t been able to unwind in a bit so I know that this is going to be a longer run. So long, in fact, that I know how long I want to be out and I go ahead and put on a reflective vest because I know it’s going to get dark on me before the end.
No Ipod, No phone. Just me and my watch. And, of course, Bee Doo Dooooo. My heart rate monitor, set for 143 beats per minute (BPM). This number is my MAF, or Maximum Aerobic Fitness number as described by Dr Phil Maffetone. It is supposed to be the number that my body is working at peak aerobic fitness and burning fat, in lieu of carbs, as its fuel.
Holy cow! I know I have a big weekend coming up but 2 days off is a bit much. I realize I’m falling behind and it’s time to do some work. Of course, as soon as I’m done Job#2, it’s too dark to do anything so Thursday I’ve got to make some time for me and my treadmill. Most people have a love/hate relationship with their “mill” but I love mine. With an internet browser, 15 degrees incline and 3 degrees decline, it’s pretty awesome. I load up videos on the “WATCH LATER” tab in YouTube and just let them roll when I run. Nice, and I control EVERYTHING, from the speed to the pitch. I want hills? Boom, there they are. I want speed (I wish right now)? BOOM, there it is. Love it!!
Here is the breakdown for Thursdays run. I guess the 2 days of rest helped because I actually get under 9 minute miles on a few.
You read that right. A swim! Now it’s SUPER hard to record your heart rate in the pool but I felt as though I just wanted to break up the training a bit (plus I have an indoor tri on Saturday) so a short day at the pool is in order. Now whenever I swim, it typically is the same warmup. It is a 4×200 SKPS. What the heck is that you ask? It means that you are doing 4, 200 yard sets. The SKPS breaks down as a 200 SWIM (using your arms and legs), and 200 KICK (with a kickboard), a 200 PULL (using a pull buoy so the arms are the only propulsion), and then a final 200 SWIM. Unfortunately I have found that my Garmin 910XT (AWESOME WATCH!!!!) does not record my time on the kick portion because it has to have arm movement to record. I am able to do another 400 yards beyond my warmup before it’s time to go. It feels good but, again, I’m not able to record heart rate to make sure I’m in my MAF range so I don’t want to push it too hard. And I know what’s in store tomorrow…..
I’m ok with it. I know why the number was high. Multiple days in a row without any real rest between will push you. I haven’t even wanted to look at my Heart Rate Variability because I know it will tell me not to train but I do anyway. I feel good after the run, and some new people travel to the shop to talk triathlon and discuss their future race plans. I love to hear about people pushing to the next level in their endurance training. Of course, I also hear negative comments later on Sunday from an old training friend. Always dwelling on the negative…. not looking at learning. I have found that I’ve tried to distance myself from negative people as of late. A negative person is normally insecure about something that they are doing and they are trying to make others feel insecure about their own actions. Do what is right for you. Don’t fall in to the trap of doing something different because someone speaks negatively. If you’re getting results, keep on going. We are all different, unique, and respond to different stimuli. If you find yourself around someone trying to bring you down, either discuss it with them, or drop them. There will be no winning an argument, so don’t make your discussion confrontational.
The * designation shows a higher heart rate than 143, and I’m not happy I did that.
Snow’s coming… Probably going to be a rest day tomorrow. I feel like I earned this one. We’ll see how the new chart plots out. Until next time…….

First lady Melania Trump will attend the funeral of Barbara Bush, the former first lady she called "woman of strength," the White House said.
WASHINGTON — First lady Melania Trump will attend the funeral of Barbara Bush, the former first lady she called "woman of strength," the White House said.
The funeral will take place in Houston, where former president George H.W. Bush and his wife retired after their four years in the White House ended in 1993.
"Mrs. Trump intends to pay her respects to Barbara Bush and the entire family at the funeral on Saturday," said Mrs. Trump's spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham.
The White House did not say whether President Trump would also attend.
It's customary for first ladies to attend the funerals of their predecessors, but presidents rarely do. President Barack Obama did not attend Nancy Reagan's funeral in 2016, or Betty Ford's in 2011.
Presidents Clinton and Obama — and their first ladies — will attend Mrs. Bush's funeral, their offices confirmed.
Mrs. Trump added her condolences to the many accolades for the iconic first lady, who died Tuesday at the age of 92.
"Our hearts are with the Bush family as we celebrate the life and mourn the loss of Barbara Bush," Mrs. Trump said in a statement. "Throughout her life, she put family and country above all else. Her dedicated service to the American people was matched only by her compassion and love of family.
"She was a woman of strength and we will always remember her for her most important roles of wife, mother, and First Lady of the United States. My heartfelt condolences and prayers are with the Bush family as we honor her legacy."

Surely it was her spiritual destiny landed her safely into India unscathed and undetected. At Rawalpindi, Gulrukh led an ascetic life for some years, and eventually came into contact with a Hindu saint, who initiated her into the spiritual path. After this initiation she went into seclusion in a nearby mountain outside Rawalpindi and underwent very severe penance for nearly seventeen months. Thereafter she came down to Punjab and stayed a few months in Multan. It was in Multan, while Gulrukh was 37 years of age, that she contacted a Muslim saint – a Mazjoob (immersed in Divinity) who put an end to her spiritual struggle by giving her God-realization. Gulrukh once again wended her way to Rawalpindi, and there she was again spiritually drawn to the same Hindu saint, responsible for her first initiation. The saint helped her to come down from the super conscious state of God-realisation to the normal consciousness of a Master.
Hereafter for Gulrukh began a long trail of journeys from one part of India to another. In one of her itineraries she visited Bombay, and after a few months’ stay in Bombay, went back once again to the Punjab, and spent a good number of years at different places in Northern India. It was at this time that she happened to utter in a moment of ecstasy words connoting her divine state. This was treated as blasphemy by orthodoxy, which, with the connivance of the church, got her buried alive Gulrukh miraculously, survived this ordeal, and finding the country unsafe for her she bade good bye to the Punjab and Northern India forever. She travelled south to Bombay took up her abode in a locality know as Chuna Bhatti near Byculla. Bombay however, was not to be graced by her presence for long and the enviable honour of manifesting Gulrukh’s spiritual greatness goes to Poona, that the sepoys of the Baluchi Regiment, which had only recently arrived from the North and who knew that Gulrukh was buried and dead, had a surprise of their life to find her all alive and seated underneath a neem (margosa) tree at a place called Malcolm Tank within Cantonment limits. The Baluchi sepoys looked upon this as a great miracle, and thus feeling convinced of her spiritual greatness, gave Gulrukh an ovation, by bowing to her reverently. After this incident her saintly fame spread far and wide, and she came to be universally known as Hazrat Babajan.
Sometime after her entry into Poona about the year 1903, Babajan had no fixed place of abode. She was seen sitting or resting at odd places in different parts of the city and cantonment. Although shabbily dressed, there was something magnetic in her personality very unusual in a street mendicant that she looked, that no passer-by could resist giving her a second glance. She was seldom seen moving about or sitting anywhere all alone. Her bodily requirements were very few, and food she ate very sparingly at long intervals. She was very fond of tea, which was offered to her very frequently by visitors. While walking in streets, on whomsoever her eyes feel that person could not but halt or stand up reverentially unit she passed by. An unsettled life of some years in and around Poona saw Babajan at last settled at a spot near Char Bavadi, Malcom Tank, underneath the neem (margosa) tree. At this time the locality mentioned was a picture of dirt, desolation and ugliness.
The Cantonment authorities became alive in the situation, and had it been possible they would unhesitatingly have had Babajan shifted to some out of the way spot. But they dared not risk a public demonstration in the matter. By now Babajan’s fame as a saint hand spread far and wide and ‘Char Bavadi’ became a place of pilgrimage for people from all over India. In place of Babajan’s shabby shelter, when the new structure which was only a few feet away from Babajan’s original seat was ready to every one’s surprise, she refused to be moved there. The awkward situation however, was got over by extending the structure a little more so as the include and embrace Babajan’s original seat, as well as the neem tree.
When Babajan first came to Poona people surmised her age to be not less that 90 years, and thereafter even 30 years added to her life in the city wrought no changes in her personality. Short in stature, firm and agile fair and sunburn, face broad and heavily wrinkled, high cheek bones, liquid blue eyes possessing great depths, head covered with a silvery crown of thick white hair hanging loose up to the shoulders, deep sonorous voice, all conspired to make her personality very unique and unworldly. Her attire was simple, consisting of a long apron extending below the knees, a pyjamas narrowed round the legs and a linen scarf thrown carelessly round the shoulders.
Babajan slept very little, one day she would feel out of sorts, at times even high fever, and the next day she would be her usual self without recourse to any medication. Young and old, male or female, she used to address everyone as Bachcha or Baba (child).
Her method of healing was quite unique and entertaining. When anyone approached her for a cure, she would hold between her fingers, the painful or diseased part of the person concerned, and calling upon some imaginary being, simultaneously ordering the troublesome entity to quit. Surprisingly enough, this funny operation would impart instantaneous relief.
A Zorastrain child aged about 10 years had lost his eyesight altogether. His guardians brought him to Babajan, and when told of the sorry plight of the child, Babajan mumbled some words, and blew her breath upon his eyes. The child immediately recovered his eyesight and began to jump about joyfully saying “I can see now, I can see”.
One Hindu woman, a devotee of Babajan very humbly and supplicatingly submitted to Babajan that she was married over ten years, but was not yet blessed with an issue. She requested Babajan’s blessings in her case. Babajan blessed her, and said. “Your first issue would be a son.”. Exactly after a year and half, the lady returned and placed the male baby at the feet of Babajan. Babajan took up the child in her arms, played with it for some time, and allowed the mother and the child to depart with her blessings.
Babajan’s love and charity towards humanity was supremely Divine in expression; it could not but reclaim a most confirmed sinner and subdue the cruellest of minds. Articles of clothing and other presentations to Babajan, people would remove without her permission.
Once a man tried to steal a costly shawl covering her body while asleep, but he found its removal rather risky, as some portion of it was held underneath her body. Babajan instinctively raised herself bodily a little, thereby helping the thief to achieve the purpose. On another occasion, a person from Bombay, in token of his fulfilled desire, placed two bangles of solid gold round Babajan’s wrists. At the earliest opportunity, an unknown person snatched away the bangles so very roughly that it gave her wrist a nasty cut which bled profusely.
Hazrat Babajan‘s spiritual status in the hierarchy of saints is that of Qutub. Literally the word Qutub means a peg or a pin, and a Qutub functioning on the physical plane is the hub round which the universe revolves. After a spiritual sojourn of about 35 years in Poona, Hazrat Babajan left her mortal coil on 21st September 1931 at the ripe old age of 125 years. Her funeral procession was tremendous affair, never accorded to any dignitary or royalty in the annals of Poona. Her remains were laid at rest at the very spot underneath the neem tree where she sat and dispensed Divine Grace for such a long number of years.
Babajan’s seat being in the Cantonment area, everyone though that the military authorities would refuse permission for Babajan’s burial within their limits. The trustees saw and proposed many sites in different parts of the city, but there was no unanimity amongst them about any one particular spot. One day they decided to approach Babajan herself and settled the question of her burial ground direct. No sooner they approached her, Babajan flew into rage at the sight of them and said, “Get away from here. How can the dead show concern for the living? I am not going to leave this place.” Thus Babajan decided the question of her burial ground at the same time conveyed to them that materially – minded people are more dead than alive.

The Brexit crowd refused to believe the experts in the run-up to the referendum vote. The warnings from every leading economic body, including the Bank of England, were dismissed as scaremongering that should be ignored.
Now, apparently, the words of the Governor of the Bank of England and other economists are so influential they can talk us into a recession – I am baffled by this double-think. But we need not agonise over all the talk now, because the facts are mounting up.
Last week, we reported exclusive figures showing a sharp fall in the number of shoppers out on our high streets.
That has now been more than confirmed by the latest figures from the most highly respected survey of its kind, the GfK Consumer Confidence survey. It showed the sharpest drop in confidence since 1994. Confidence has fallen even among Leave voters.
Political uncertainty of a kind unseen for at least a generation will not be helping, but that too was eminently predictable (and indeed predicted) before the vote.
The freezing of many leading property investment funds last week heralds sharp falls in the value of commercial property values – it should not be surprising that with consumer confidence down so badly, shops and offices are likely to be less valuable.
The one small silver lining may be the fall in the value of the pound which may provide a lift to exports, but it also means UK companies that buy raw materials or components abroad will face higher costs.
A weaker pound is unlikely to offset the negative effects of those higher import costs and a general slowdown in the economy.
I, too, will now be accused of talking down the economy – if I had that power I would be doing everything to talk it up. I have a job that I want to be secure; I have a house I am trying to sell; I have family who run small businesses which I want to prosper. But I cannot make it so by burying my head in the sand.
There are things that can be done to mitigate the problems we face as an economy. The Bank of England can do some things, but as the Governor said, its powers are limited.
But action is needed on a truly national and strategic scale. Major investment in our infrastructure is one such action. Measures to encourage business investment would help, but few can act with the force and immediacy of Government.
And distasteful as it will be to some, Government borrowing is the only way this can be achieved. Stephen Crabb, until recently a candidate for the Tory leadership, proposed a £100 billion fund to spend on public projects; other senior Government figures including both candidates for PM have indicated that an end to austerity is now in order.
They are right, but if the country is to mitigate the damage done by Brexit this will have to be more than piecemeal. It will have to be bold. It has never been cheaper for Britain to borrow money. We must do so now.
There will be some reading this who will cry in despair, having been solid believers that austerity was the only sensible way to proceed.
They almost certainly thought this way because they listened to and were convinced by George Osborne and other senior Tories in recent General Election campaigns. What a pity they didn’t listen to him before blowing his economic strategy out of the water by voting to leave the EU.

This is how a businesswoman is described by her colleagues.
Mrs Natalie Soine, of Table View, is a successful business owner and the winner of the 2005 Business Women’s Association Regional Business Achiever’s Awards.
“I really feel very honoured and surprised. All the finalists deserved to win. They were all winners in their own right. The judging must have been a big challenge,” she described the feeling of the moment.
Soine founded the Papillion training company in 2001, which provides skills development to women in leadership, an to their personal assistants, office administrators and secretaries – after 18 years working as a personal assistant.
“I was an executive personal assistant to senior executives. And I always loved the job, but one day I found myself enjoying helping colleagues to be more productive and to work smarter. I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed my job, so I resigned the next day. I realised that my heart would no longer be in the job and that would have been unfair to my manager,” she explained.
“As a proudly South African company, we have dealt with than 6 000 clients from about 500 companies throughout Africa. We provide practical and effective solutions to dilemmas facing them. Meanwhile we also give some unemployed people free courses every month. We gave away almost R500 000 worth of training vouchers last year,” she said.
Along with the steadily growing business, Soine finds her daily routine to be busier than ever.
She has to plan and schedule her year 12 months in advance and revise it every month.
She is not only a businesswoman, but also a mother of four.

Natalie Soine of Table View won the Start-up Category of the Cape Regional Business Achievers Awards.
The winner in the Start-Up Category of the Cape Regional Business Awards for 2005 is Natalie Soiné of Table View, founder and owner of Papillon Training, a successful international training company providing accredited skills development to office professionals who knocked out three other finalists in that category.
Natalie has developed a series of workshops for secretaries and personal assistants, which provide practical, effective solutions to dilemmas facing office staff and managers. Every month one unemployed person attends a course for free. Papillon is a proudly South African company.
Natalie attributes the success of her business to her family, the support system that she has at home, and to her clients who find her training courses to be empowering, practical and user friendly.
The Western Cape Regional Achievers Awards has become a prestigious celebration in the Cape calendar, where remarkable women achievers are rewarded, with the purpose of recognition as well as inspiring others.
The judges had a difficult task, as the women were each remarkable in their own right. After having received 43 nominations in 4 different categories, 14 finalists were chosen. The judges then interviewed each of the finalists and announced the winners at a glittering gala dinner.
Gone are the days of the dizzy blonde secretary doing little more than making cups of tea and typing. Today’s secretary, and more so today’s personal assistant, handles far more responsibility and is expected to be more business-oriented.
The changing environment is not a local phenomenon. Soiné presents workshops around the world, allowing for an exchange of skills and knowledge.
For example, says Soiné, “They have gone from typing up a department’s budget and maybe making a few suggestions to managing and being accountable for the budget”.
When it comes to correspondence, managers no longer dictate what must be written. Instead, a secretary is expected to know what must go into the correspondence, type it up, edit it and simply present the finished document for signature.
Senior secretaries, says Soiné, are expected to attend meetings on behalf of their managers, share information on behalf of their bosses and take notes so that they can report back.
One reason for the increased responsibility is the growing need for effective time management. Secretaries have greater workloads, whether it be office administration or filtering a deluge of data.
Increased international business relationships now mean that a secretary must be able to communicate in the international business language: English.
Soiné says a top secretary must have very good verbal and non-verbal English skills.
Cell phones have created an easy communication channel and mean that people are instantly connected.
This changing role means that secretaries are partners and the “right hands” of their bosses.
Soiné says once a manager and secretary have built up a good working relationship, they will move up the ranks together, sometimes even to another company.
There has, however, been one negative trade-off: Soiné says secretaries now have very high stress because of their increased levels of responsibility.

At this point in time, it’s safe to say that most copies of Windows 10 are legit, which means Microsoft has already made money off of it. Unfortunately, it looks like the company is thirsting for more, and wants to inject ads into its File Explorer tool.
According to the folks at Thurrott, the ads (starting with promotions for Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service) are easing their way into the upcoming Creators Update, which some people are currently testing in beta. There are also similar notifications in the previously released Anniversary Update. Nobody asked for this, and yet, here we are.
They might just be small pop-ups, but that’s how it starts, folks. Microsoft has many other products it might want to start slinging, including Office 365 subscriptions and Skype credits – and who knows whether the company will eventually want to expand to serving up ads from other businesses?
That should sort you out even if you aren’t yet seeing the ads on your copy of Windows 10. It’s likely that we haven’t yet seen the last of evils like this: Back in 2015, Microsoft began recommending apps from its Store in the Start Menu (you can turn those off too), so don’t consider yourself fully safe from promotions in your OS just yet.

Complications of nailing in closed tibial fractures.
Williams J., Gibbons M., Trundle H., Murray D., Worlock P.
Reamed intramedullary nailing was used to treat 102 closed tibial shaft fractures. Although a high rate of union was achieved (98%), we noted a higher incidence of complications than previously reported. Thirty-five (37%) patients exhibited one or more components of malunion. In 17 (18%) patients, further operative procedures were required to achieve union or to correct malalignment. New, postoperative peroneal nerve lesions were found in 19 (19%) patients, of which four (4%) failed to resolve. Acute compartment syndrome, requiring fasciotomy, developed in seven (7%) cases after surgery. Two patients developed an atrophic nonunion. In spite of these complications, the overall results were good and we continue to recommend this method of treatment for the displaced, unstable tibial shaft fracture.

The family of a man shot dead by an RCMP officer during a 2013 traffic stop near Pigeon Lake is suing the officer for $650,000. On August 3, Lance Cutarm, 30, his father Lawrence and his two brothers were pulled over by an RCMP officer identified in court documents as Cpl. Kevin Krebs. Lawrence Cutarm was behind the wheel.
The family of a man shot dead by an RCMP officer during a 2013 traffic stop near Pigeon Lake is suing the officer for $650,000.
On August 3, Lance Cutarm, 30, his father Lawrence and his two brothers were pulled over by an RCMP officer identified in court documents as Cpl. Kevin Krebs. Lawrence Cutarm was behind the wheel.
Lance Cutarm and his two brothers told Krebs to stop using force against their father. All three Cutarm sons were outside the vehicle. Their lawsuit claims they were running away from Krebs when he opened fire, fatally shooting Lance in the chest and striking his older brother, Laron Cutarm, twice in the torso.
The brothers “were not acting in a threatening manner to Krebs or to anyone, and this use of deadly force was unnecessary, excessive and unlawful,” the family’s claim states.
Months later, criminal charges against Lawrence and Laron Cutarm were laid in connection to the incident, then withdrawn by a prosecutor in May 2014.
“The RCMP members’ conduct constitutes an arbitrary and malicious punishment and a malicious exercise of their authority,” the lawsuit states.
In January, Alberta’s police watchdog concluded Krebs shot the Cutarm brothers in self-defence. The report of the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, ASIRT, is much different than the version of events in the Cutarm lawsuit.
ASIRT concluded Krebs pulled the Cutarms’ truck over after a passenger gave him the middle finger as they drove by him.
Lawrence Cutarm went inside the officer’s police car while his sons continued to advance on Krebs in the moments before shots were fired, ASIRT found.
ASIRT said the events were captured on audio recording. That report also said no racial slurs were used by Krebs and Lawrence Cutarm was not handcuffed.
Lance Cutarm was a member of the Ermineskin Cree Nation.

ROCKETING RUBY (6) was rewarded for recent consistent form when she led throughout at Goulburn in 25.38, this is only fractionally tougher so there's no reason she won run well again. It is another open race though with several other chances including DRIFT A BIT (4), SWEET AS (1) and THEY KNOW WHO (2) to name just a few.
Mixing her form a bit lately but both her victories were from the rails one of them in 23.31 here, worth another chance from the good draw.
Also mixing his form a bit recently although this does look more suitable than his last at Dapto over 520m Oct 10,capable of better.
Winner twice here over this trip previously but he hasn't been showing much pace in recent efforts, wait until he shows some improvement.
Improved last start with a box 6 second here in 23.09, this doesn't appear a great deal harder so he again looks to have each way claims.
Has a handy record from the yellow and is also a winner twice here over 400m but his recent form has been below his best, others look to have his measure.
She's only won the two races the latest at Goulburn on Oct 18 leading throughout in 25.38, has to be included in the better chances at her Richmond debut.
Freshened since failing here on Sept 26,most of his better runs have been over 400m here and from wide draws so an improved showing fresh wouldn't surprise.
She's also been down on form recently although she also goes well here and can handle wide draws needs to lift but could be an exotics hope at odds.

Authors: Dunning J, Prendergast B, Mackway-Jones K.
Reference: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2003 Dec;2(4):405-9.
Cardiothoracic surgeons are faced with the dilemma that many clinical questions in their daily practice to do not have universally agreed answers, but patients increasingly demand the ‘best practice’ from their doctors. In addition time pressures mean that clinicians are unable to keep up with the full spectrum of published research and current resources that collate evidence for clinicians have few if any resources for cardiothoracic surgeons. We have adopted an approach pioneered in emergency medicine, namely the Best Evidence Topic or BestBET. Clinicians select a clinical scenario from their daily practice that highlighted an area of controversy. From this, a three-part question is generated and this is used to search Medline for relevant papers. Once the relevant papers are found, these papers are critically appraised using validated checklists and the results are summarized. A clinical bottom line is reached after this process. To add confidence to the quality of the search a second author and then an Evidence Based Journal Club checks the BET to ensure that no relevant evidence is missed. These BETs will then be posted on the ICVTS website prior to publication for widespread commentary. The resulting BETs, written by practising cardiothoracic surgeons, will then provide robust evidence-based answers to important clinical questions asked during our daily practice.
Very interesting approach. Many cardiac ICU topics could be evaluated through this method!

Poetry reviews: "The Apple Trees at Olema" and "The Best of It"
Two of America's best known poets offer new collections for poetry month.
When major poets release their collections of “new and selected poems,” fans often ask two questions: Do the compilations provide valuable insights? Are the new poems as good as the old ones? In many cases, the answer to one or both is no, and what should have been a literary milestone feels like repackaging.
Readers are hoping for two affirmatives from Robert Hass and Kay Ryan this spring. Both writers have served as poet laureate of the United States (a position Ryan still holds), and both have earned their place among the nation’s most esteemed poets. That’s where the similarities end.
The Apple Trees at Olema illustrates why Robert Hass’s work has been widely admired. He masterly conveys the beauty and fragility of the physical world and the people who often stumble and struggle as they move through it. His selected poems are earthy yet illuminating, complex yet clear-eyed, and as the work progresses, readers watch Hass experiment with line lengths and form as his subject matter, narratives, or aesthetics demand.
As the compilation progresses, Hass’s work becomes looser and more meditative, allowing him to explore the human landscape and his own experience – which includes growing up with an alcoholic mother, parenting, and marriage. The poems can be challenging, with lines that are languorous and long. Yet what earned accolades, including the Pulitzer Prize, for his first five books, was Hass’s careful craftsmanship and his astute eye.
The new poems in “The Apple Trees at Olema” lack those elements, which make them feel like early drafts rather than finished poems.
The notebook musings try to suggest spontaneity, but are too dense at times, too fragmented at others. The poems about Hass’s brother, who followed their mother’s path of self-destruction, sound oddly distant or disconnected. Even the more successful poems, such as some of the summer lyrics, pale in comparison with earlier work. There just isn’t enough of Hass’s discipline and thoughtful focus to satisfy high expectations.
Kay Ryan’s collection, The Best of It, is vastly different in tone, approach, and style. Her work is concise, exquisitely crafted, and explores the landscape of the mind, rather than personal experience. Those qualities set her poetry apart, as does her consistency. Every section lives up to the title.
That’s a remarkable feat, especially since Ryan’s writing is so unusual. She uses logic and insight the way most poets use narrative and description. She often begins with an observation that sounds as if it should be an adage, but Ryan doesn’t try to sound wise. Her poems spring from a depth of understanding that piques and holds the reader’s attention.
Each statement is rich yet easy to understand, and that combination entices readers – both experienced and novice – to follow Ryan down a slide that twists and turns in delightful ways. The poems never end where you think they will, yet they feel so right, so fully realized.
As readers move into Ryan’s selected poems, they will notice – and appreciate – that she handles every topic with grace and confidence, whether she’s writing about giraffes or someone’s bitter regrets. The careful chiseling of language and thought shape each individual poem as well as the arc of the book.
In other words, “The Best of It” lives up to its promise and has the potential to change the way many American poets think and write. The book may also earn Ryan the wide audience she hasn’t yet achieved.
Elizabeth Lund regularly reviews poetry for the Monitor.

Facts: A local government sought to acquire real property through eminent domain for a highway bypass project. The project would result in the elimination of a roadway easement connecting an owner’s non-landlocked commercial property to the highway. No alternative easement was provided.
Claim: The owner sought to prevent the seizure, claiming the government could not take the property containing the easement unless it provided an alternative easement over a neighboring property since eliminating the easement resulted in unnecessary private losses.
Counter claim: The government sought to take the easement through eminent domain without providing an alternative easement since neighboring real property cannot be taken for the benefit of another property that is not landlocked.

Who will win the ICC World T20, 2014 ?
This is the question of the millennium for most of the Cricket Lovers all around the World. People have been guessing, predicting & visualizing their favorite teams as the Winners of the ICC World T20, 2014 which is gonna be played in Bangladesh this year. Due to the introduction of the various domestic T20 leagues like IPL in India, Big Bash League in Australia, BPL in Bangladesh & similar leagues in other Cricket playing nations, the capabilities of both Bowlers & Batsmen have been developed drastically. Improvisation in the fielding was a cause of too much T20 Cricket which made it mandatory to perform exceptionally well in this sector of the Game. Also the better performances by the Associate countries over the past few years have made the game even more competitive. In such a scenario, people have the license to expect some real close shaves during this World T20.
Though I’ve made the predictions based on their mettle, current form & other Cricketing aspects, the predictions remain personal. Result can always be astonishing in Cricket, since “Cricket is a funny Game“. If even you do possess some knowledge about Cricket & take interests in such tournaments, try your luck in Fantasy Games by ESPN Cricinfo or ICC Fantasy League & keep your fingers crossed for the Results.

12:1 And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.
12:2 And at the time, he sent to the husbandmen a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen of the fruite of the vineyard.
12:3 But they tooke him, and beat him, and sent him away emptie.
12:4 And againe he sent vnto them another seruant, and at him they cast stones, and brake his head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
12:5 And againe he sent another, and him they slew, and many other, beating some, and killing some.
12:6 Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued: him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
12:7 But ye husbandmen said among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance shalbe ours.
12:8 So they tooke him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
12:9 What shall then the Lord of the vineyard doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and giue the vineyard to others.
12:10 Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture? The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the head of the corner.
12:11 This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
12:12 Then they went about to take him, but they feared the people: for they perceiued that he spake that parable against them: therefore they left him, and went their way.
12:13 And they sent vnto him certaine of the Pharises, and of ye Herodians that they might take him in his talke.
12:14 And when they came, they saide vnto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou considerest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God truely, Is it lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not?
12:15 Should we giue it, or should we not giue it? but he knew their hypocrisie, and said vnto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a peny, that I may see it.
12:16 So they brought it, and he said vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? and they said vnto him, Cesars.
12:17 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to God, those that are Gods: and they marueiled at him.
12:19 Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother.
12:20 There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue.
12:22 So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also.
12:23 In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife.
12:24 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?
12:25 For when they shall rise againe from the dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married, but are as the Angels which are in heauen.
12:26 And as touching the dead, that they shall rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob?
12:27 God is not ye God of the dead, but the God of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued.
12:28 Then came one of the Scribes that had heard them disputing together, and perceiuing that he had answered them well, he asked him, Which is the first commandement of all?
12:29 Iesus answered him, The first of all the commandements is, Heare, Israel, The Lord our God is the onely Lord.
12:30 Thou shalt therefore loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandement.
12:31 And the second is like, that is, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. There is none other commandement greater then these.
12:34 Then when Iesus saw that he answered discreetely, he saide vnto him, Thou art not farre from the kingdome of God. And no man after that durst aske him any question.
12:35 And Iesus answered and said teaching in the Temple, Howe say the Scribes that Christ is the sonne of Dauid?
12:36 For Dauid himselfe said by ye holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
12:37 Then Dauid himselfe calleth him Lord: by what meanes is he then his sonne? and much people heard him gladly.
12:40 Which deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers. These shall receiue the greater damnation.
12:41 And as Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie, he beheld how the people cast money into the treasurie, and many rich men cast in much.
12:42 And there came a certaine poore widowe, and she threw in two mites, which make a quadrin.

With a slightly guilty conscious, I’m here, writing and reflecting, about my experience doing a second YTT (yoga teacher training).
Guilty because my kitchen needs to be cleaned, guilty because the clean unfolded laundry pile seems to be getting bigger before my eyes.
Another more significant observation is that this second time through, I realized that I’m not comfortable in the “gray area” – not a faculty teacher but to the other YTT students, being a “been here, done this” presence. Not a leader on paper, but wanting to help lead, not just implicitly. And as any yoga teacher knows, still always, ALWAYS, a student. This gray area is a slightly stressful place to be so obviously, it can also be a place of growth, if you allow it. The internal struggle of being a teacher on the schedule, having high aspirations for my growth and really feeling confident teaching a strong class…then at times, feeling really small and raw during our YTT meeting times. Those extremes kept me humble, “in my place” even if it didn’t always feel good.
Finally, the last revelation and certainly most powerful, is becoming fully aware that my heart is so invested in teaching yoga. That I don’t want to *just* teach classes, that I also want to teach yoga teachers. Seeing this YTT unfold through a different lens, a lens that maybe was uncomfortable at times, taught me so much and it was so rewarding to watch these student teachers grow, even if my impact was ancillary, at best.
I didn’t sign up for a second YTT to learn Ashtanga again; I signed up to get deeper into my “why” – why I practice, why I feel so passionately about this style, why I want to teach student teachers. I’m still working on articulating my “why” but I do know this….yoga feels like home.

The Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin has announced that they are delisting ten crypto tokens under their Special Treatment Rules framework that ensures that the tokens listed on the platform meet a strict set of operational criteria.
The platform’s decision to delist these tokens comes amidst a persisting bear market that is leading many smaller cryptocurrencies to be illiquid, which can lead to a host of problems including increased susceptibility to fraudulent trading activity, including pump and dump schemes.
The crypto bear market that has persisted throughout 2018 has drawn a significant amount of funding away from all cryptocurrencies, but especially smaller ones that are less well known and riskier.
The exchange announced that the ten cryptocurrencies that are being delisted are: Jibrel Network (JNT), WePower (WPR), Modum (MOD), EthLend (LEND), STK (STK), Asch (XAS), Bread (BRD), BitClave (CAT), Bitcoin Gold (BTG) and Mobius (MOBI).
The exchange cited multiple factors that contributed to their decision to delist these tokens, including not meeting the exchange’s requirements regarding token liquidity, roadmap adherence, network security, trading conduct, and solvency requirements.
The exchange first designates tokens as “Special Treatment,” which warns the projects and their investors that they are at risk of being delisted. If the projects fail to confront and solve the issues cited by the exchange, they will be delisted.
Although there are multiple factors that contribute to a token being designated as Special Treatment, liquidity is the primary concern currently, as multiple tokens face dwindling trading activity as the bear market continues to persist.
Trading for the aforementioned tokens was halted on December 24th, 2018, and investors have until March 21st, 2019, to withdraw their tokens to wallets or other exchanges.
Many investors and analysts alike anticipated that the 2018 crypto crash would result in a “market purge” that would lead many of the nearly 1,700 cryptocurrencies to disappear. The most probable way that this will happen is for the tokens to be delisted by exchanges due to their lack of liquidity.
Following KuCoin’s decision to delist the aforementioned tokens, both their prices and their trading volumes plummeted.
Jibrel Network (JNT) is currently trading at $0.046, down significantly from its weekly highs of $0.065. After being delisted from KuCoin, JNT’s daily trading volume dropped from over $2 million to lows of $60,000.
BitClave (CAT) was also incredibly affected by the delisting, dropping from weekly highs of $0.0024 to lows of $0.000527. CAT’s trading volume is currently near zero.
As the crypto bear market continues to endure, it is highly likely that many more tokens will see their trading volume disappear as they are delisted from virtually all major cryptocurrency exchanges.

A regatta is being held this weekend in memory of a former skipper, race director and operations director for the Clipper Round the World Race.
Colin de Mowbray (pictured above) died suddenly on July 11 2010 and his friends are holding the Red Socks Regatta in his honour.
All eight boats in the regatta will fly red socks from their backstay in homage to de Mowbray’s favourite fashion item.
The fleet, led by de Mowbray family yacht Fidgit, will leave Lymington crewed by former Clipper crew members on October 2 to enjoy various races and fun, including dinner at The Folly Inn, East Cowes on Saturday night.
de Mowbray was born in 1945 and spent 30 years in the Royal Navy, culminating in the award of an MBE.
After leaving the forces in 1994, his friendship with Clipper chief Sir Robin Knox-Johnston led to him skippering Chrysolite in the inaugural round the world race in 1996 and from there he spent 14 years with Clipper Ventures as race director and operations director.
He retired in 2009 and founded the Clipper Race Yacht Club, which gave Clipper alumni a vehicle to continue sailing and it now has more than 500 members.

Former US Attorney General Eric Holder sent letters to officials in Atlanta, Chicago and New Jersey hoping to convince them that companies like Uber and Lyft should leave the FBI Fingerprint Database alone. All three are considering legislation that would require a fingerprint based check for ride-share drivers, but Holder says this is not what the system was created to do.
Holder, whose current law firm represents Uber, says the database was created to aid law enforcement during investigations- not to determine if someone should be eligible for a job. He also points out that the database includes arrest information but doesn’t show if someone was ever actually convicted of a crime. According to the former AG, this deficiency has the potential to hurt black and Hispanic men because statistically they have a higher likelihood of being arrested when they are young.
In yet another Uber story, the ride-sharing giant has agreed to settle a lawsuit that accused the company of firing drivers over information found through unauthorized background searches. The suit was filed in San Francisco by two drivers who say the company obtained consumer background checks on them without getting proper authorization. If approved by the judge, Uber will pay $7.5 million to settle.
A report from www.thehill.com reveals that the Federal Reserve faced a multitude of cybersecurity breaches between 2011 and 2015. The Fed’s cybersecurity team logged 310 incident reports. About a third were classified as hacking attempts. Out of those events, information was actually disclosed in 51 incidents. Four incidents in 2012 were specifically classified as espionage. The Fed will not say who hacked the system or if any money or sensitive information were stolen.
Colorado employers now have one less form to worry about while onboarding new employees. For years they have been required to fill out not only the federal Employment Eligibility Verification form -- or Form I-9 -- but ALSO a Colorado form that essentially does the exact same thing. As of August 10, 2016 this redundant step will no longer be required. Governor John Hickenlooper signed House Bill 16-1114 into law on June 8th. But just a warning- those Colorado forms MUST be filled out for every hire BEFORE August 10th.

It’s 2016, and over 150 years have passed since the invention of Phonoautogram, the first credited medium that was used to record and distribute sound. The oldest of the recordings made with the device contain what is believed to be the inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville singing slowly. While sound entertainment has been an industry of itself all the way from ancient times, the history and future of the industry have been on a somewhat linear trajectory, at least ever since Thomas Edison built upon Scott De Martinville’s work and patented the Phonogram in 1877.
While the contemporary musical aficionados of the time probably did not grasp it, the industry was about to embark on more than a century of prosperous growth and seemingly never-ending new opportunities. Whether it were the roaring twenties and its jazz-craze or the advent of rock through the 50s and 60s all the way to the boy bands of the 90s, there was a well-oiled machine to spot, incubate, accelerate and finance these phenomena. As with any industry, there were many interpretations on how to navigate its waters and operate one’s ventures in and around it. Label execs of today still like to remind us how they were one of the first venture capitalists. Just like the venture capitalists of the tech world, some had more ‘founder-friendly’ views than others – just ask Elvis, 30 Seconds to Mars or Harry Shearer of the Spinal Tap fame.
However, nevertheless how one ran its business, it was still mostly the same business for everyone and it largely stayed that way for a long, long time. The talent was discovered and put out there, and the audience would consume whatever was offered to a varying degree of results. It was more about finessing the details and abstract aspects of the business that differentiated the successes from mediocre to minute results. You had a formula and it either worked or you adjusted it accordingly, but in the end you had a formula and the whole industry would fit inside of its boundaries. That was how the cookie crumbled all the way until the late 90s, the internet and three code kids with a hobby project that would eventually be called Napster.
The Fanning brothers, Sean Parker and a long line of others, including Kazaa founders Jaan Tallin, Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, handcrafted a new reality that in just a matter of a couple of years brought upon more disruption to the music industry than all of its previous technological advancements pooled together. Whereas there had always been the individual storm in a teacup with radio, mechanical piano, vinyl, 8-track, cassette and the CD, there had never been a tech invention that the music industry was truly unprepared to deal with and use to its advantage. For the purposes of this post, since you’re reading this, we can probably assume that the rough general outcome of the years after Napster launched in June 1999 is a matter of well digested public knowledge. Thus, we can skip to the fact that today, over 17 years later, the Pandora’s box is still very much wide open and only gradually have we began to understand what kind of worms are crawling out of this particular can.
Just recently, the U.S. music industry body RIAA revealed that recorded music revenue in the U.S. grew by a staggering 8.1% in the first half of this year. Even more staggering was the fact that the single-digit growth was one of the best the industry has had in almost two decades, all the while industries in almost all other sectors have been multiplying or at least gaining strength thanks to the evolution of tech. The music industry has done almost the exact opposite, but precisely for the same reason.
The hypothesis here is that the ride is only gonna get wilder and definitely weirder now that the industry at large has caught up with the jive. If the past 17 years of the music industry started out with a piece of code crafted in the dorms of the Northeastern University, what do you think the next 17 are going to look like now that there’s a whole sector of companies out-innovating each other? Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats as we take a peek at what’s to come through the peculiar eight ball that is Slush Music.

Star Wars 9 is continuing to shoot as we head towards the holidays, with breaks coming for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Quite a bit of the movie is already in the can, with even more footage to be shot into the New Year. Some of the scenes completed include Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron and Carrie Fisher as General Leia. Only, the Leia scenes are being done without the presence of Carrie Fisher on set, who passed away in December 2016 just a few days after Christmas. Oscar Isaac is opening up about the experience of shooting Poe and Leia scenes alone.
Poe shared most of his screen time with General Leia in The Last Jedi, when Luke's twin sister wasn't off recovering from her Mary Poppins flight through space. The recent comics have indicated that Leia's blast into the backend of the galaxy really wrecked her health, and the effects are suspected to bring about her untimely demise as a character.
As most fans know by now, J.J. Abrams will be using discarded footage from The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. While Carrie's own physical appearance won't be manipulated by a few finger strokes of the computer, it's sounding more and more like she will get a new digitally altered wardrobe, and it's possible that there will be some voice and mouth manipulation for newly created dialogue. That's all speculation at the moment. Some of the funnier forces online refer to the on-screen resurrection of Leia as J.J. Abrams' Plan 9 instead of Episode IX, because it mirrors Ed Wood's resurrection of Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 From outer Space, which utilized old film of the late actor to sell that cult classic sci-fi trash. Let's hope Episode 9 proves to be better than Plan 9. Because if it's not, this franchise really is in trouble.
No story points for Star Wars 9 have been revealed at this time, though that hasn't stopped many from speculating about the plot, which will bring the Skywalker saga to a close after 9 movies and countless novels, comics, and a handful of animated TV shows. So it's not known exactly what General Leia will be doing in the movie. Asked about that aspect of the sequel, Oscar Isaac says that the movie handles Leia's story in, 'A really beautiful way'. And that the end of her story is, 'beautiful'. It also sounds like we're getting more Leia than expected.
"The story deals with that quite a bit. It's a strange thing to be on the set and to be speaking of Leia and having Carrie not be around. There's definitely some pain in that."
Oscar Isaac is quick to assure everyone that J.J. Abrams and his team will not disappoint fans with how they handle Leia's ultimate exit from the franchise. The actor goes onto say that having The Force Awakens director back in the captain's seat has allowed for things to be 'remarkably looser'.
"Since everything just feels way looser and people aren't taking it quite as seriously. I think that that energy is gonna translate to a really great movie."
After Star Wars 9 wraps, Oscar Isaac will be taking a year long break from acting. It has been rumored that the first Star Wars 9 trailer will drop during the Super Bowl, at which time J.J. Abrams should be done shooting and starting the post-production process for release that December. For those hoping to get their first look at Luke and Leia in the Super Bowl teaser, it's expected that neither will show up, with their big reveals being saved for the theater. We can, however, expect to see Poe Dameron back in action. These quotes were pulled from The Daily Beast.

You can get the refrigerant attached to the hose and gauge for a little less money, but I wanted a setup I could use over and over, plus many of those kits contain stop-leak additives which I did not want. All told, you're looking at around $50 in parts - but the hose and gauge are the most expensive, and reusable if you ever need to do this again (or on another unit).
Start by turning the fridge all the way down and then turning it on, so as to keep the compressor running all the time. The piercing valve will come with instructions, but you basically attach it to the process tube part of the compressor (pictured). You'll then need to attach an adapter from the adapter kit, and finally connect the hose/gauge combo to the adapter. You can then back off the piercing valve to open it up to the gauge. Things are pretty much only going to fit one way, so there's not a lot of opportunity to screw it up.
Once everything is hooked up, you should be able to tell if you are low on refrigerant. In my case, the valve read very near zero - anything less than about 30 psi is low (my gauge has a green area for "yay, it's full"). Read the back of the can or the back of the package the hose/gauge came in - they'll tell you to connect the can and then tighten down the valve to pierce the can. Once this is done, do not remove the can from the hose until it's empty. Now, back the valve off a turn or two and the gauge will jump up. Shake and turn the can back and forth (to keep everything mixed up - there are additives in there) until the system is full. Mine took the full can, but after that was at just the right level.
If the level doesn't go up much with one can, stop. You probably have a serious leak and need professional assistance. If you're all topped up, though, just re-tighten the piercing valve and take the hose off the refrigerator. If the can is empty, you can take that off, too. If not, just leave it on until you need it again. You're all done!
I noticed that the wattage of the fridge nearly doubled once I had finished this - proving that the compressor was now doing more work. Also, the fridge now keeps temperature properly. If I have to fill it every couple of years, I can live with that - it's way less expense and work than getting a new one.

PHOENIX — A Phoenix man who has ties to club baseball in the East Valley and Phoenix was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly molesting two boys between the ages of 11 and 14 from 2009 and 2011, the Chandler Police Department announced.
Richard Allen Gallegos, 53, was arrested on three counts of child molestation, five counts of sexual conduct of a minor and two counts of attempted sexual conduct with a minor. He was booked into the Maricopa County Jail.
The department had been investigating Gallegos since 2009, when police were contacted by a parent who was “concerned about some behavior that Gallegos was allegedly showing her son,” Det. Seth Tyler with the Chandler Police Department told KTAR News 92.3 FM.
The son played for a club baseball team in Ahwatukee that Gallegos helped coach at the time. Gallegos also volunteered as a baseball coach at Seton Catholic Preparatory High School in Chandler during that time period.
While officers were investigating the allegation from the concerned parent, they also found two more baseball players on the club team “where Gallegos was not rising to the level of criminal behavior but was certainly doing some things that were not appropriate for an adult male to do with juvenile boys,” Tyler said.
Tyler said the department did not have enough evidence to arrest Gallegos on charges at the time and the case was closed in 2011.
The case was reopened after one of the two players came forward in June to “disclose multiple sexual encounters he had with Gallegos at that time,” Tyler said. The other player came forward shortly after and disclosed the alleged predatory and abusive behavior done at the hands of Gallegos.
Court documents showed that Gallegos allegedly molested one of the victims on at least eight different occasions, including after the victim lost a baseball game in Phoenix. The second victim, according to court documents, told police that Gallegos molested him at least twice.
“There’s always a possibility of additional victims,” Tyler said, adding that Gallegos had access to a number of boys during his time with the baseball teams.
Investigators are working to determine whether more victims were molested by Gallegos and whether he continued to coach baseball or interact with children as a coach or instructor after 2011.
