RALEIGH – Robert J. Higdon, Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, announces that a federal grand jury in Raleigh has returned a superseding indictment charging five foreign nationals with various federal crimes stemming from a bribery and kickback scheme, including money laundering, immigration fraud, and a subsequent murder for hire plot.
Teyf is also charged with multiple counts of money laundering in conspiracy with his wife, Tatyana Teyf, 41, a Russian citizen, and Alexsy Timofeev, 37, also a Russian citizen currently residing in Darien, Illinois. Teyf, Tatyana Teyf, and Timofeev are additionally charged with Timofeev’s wife, Olesya Yuryevna Timofeeva, 41, for conspiring, and aiding and abetting one another to encourage and induce an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing and in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law. Alexei Polyakov, 40, currently residing in Raleigh, North Carolina, is also charged in the indictment with attempting to obtain naturalization through false statements.
The superseding indictment alleges that between 2010 and 2012, Leonid Teyf was the Deputy Director of Voentorg, a company which contracted with Russia’s Ministry of Defense to provide the Russian military with goods and services. Leonid Teyf arranged for subcontractors in Russia to fill the various services required by Voentorg’s contract. Leonid Teyf and others devised a scheme requiring the subcontractor to agree that a certain percentage of the government funds it would receive for completion of the work would be paid back to Leonid Teyf and others involved in the scheme. These kickbacks of government funds were paid in cash and amounted to more than $150 million over an approximate two-year span. Some of the money was paid to others involved in the scheme, and some of the money was placed in accounts under Leonid Teyf’s control – accounts within Russia, and, ultimately accounts located in the United States.
The superseding indictment additionally alleges that since at least December 2010, Leonid and Tatyana Teyf and others have opened at least 70 financial accounts at four financial institutions in their own names and in the names of businesses under their control. Leonid Teyf and others received at least 294 wires totaling approximately $39.5 million into four accounts held in Leonid Teyf’s name and the names of the co-conspirators at an American banking institution. Foreign corporations and bank accounts in countries commonly known to be used for money laundering are the source of 293 of the wires. Timofeev assisted Leonid Teyf in the formation of companies in the United States, including the creation of CTK Transportation Incorporated in Illinois, a business used in the money laundering scheme. Timofeev was involved in multiple financial transactions involving the kickbacks from Russia.
The superseding indictment also alleges that in July of 2018, Teyf knowingly used and possessed a U.S. immigrant visa at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, which he had procured through false claims made in his I-140 application. To obtain that visa Teyf falsely claimed that he was entering the U.S. for the purpose of being an executive employee of a multinational company, and for whom he would earn an annual salary of $110,000.
Similarly, in 2016, an associate of Teyf, Alexei Polyakov, also made false statements in an effort to obtain immigration benefits. Polyakov falsely completed the Form N-400, application for naturalization, by failing to assert under penalty of perjury 1) that he had previously use the name “Alex Norka,” 2) that he had been arrested on at least 12 occasions in addition to the five reported occasions, and 3) by falsely underreporting the time he had spent in jail prior to the application.
As alleged in publicly available documents filed in federal court by the Government, during the course of the investigation into the money laundering charges, a Confidential Source utilized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation learned that Leonid Teyf came to believe that his wife, Tatyana Teyf, was having an affair with another man. Leonid Teyf recruited the Confidential Source to assist in planning for the man’s murder. The murder was to take place here in the United States or in Russia after they conspired to have the man deported. Leonid Teyf paid an employee with the United States Department of Homeland Security, who was working undercover, $10,000 to have the man deported from the United States. When the deportation plan was taking a longer period of time than he expected, Leonid Teyf returned to his murder-for-hire plan and paid the Confidential Source $25,000 to kill the man before the end of 2018. Leonid Teyf also supplied the Confidential Source with a firearm to commit the murder with the serial number removed from the weapon.
If convicted, Leonid Teyf would face maximum penalties of 20 years in prison. Tatyana Teyf, Alexsy Timofeev, Olesya Timofeeva, and Alexei Polyakov would face maximum penalties of 10 years in prison. The government will also seek to seize over $39 million in assets from the defendants. Each defendant will likely face the prospect of removal from the United States after their terms of imprisonment.
The charges and allegations contained in the superseding indictment, and related documents filed by the Government, are merely accusations. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. The case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation, Immigration and Custom Enforcement and the Raleigh Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Jason Kellhofer and Barbara Kocher.

Doctor, Do I Have ADHD?
"Do I have ADHD?" If you find it hard to concentrate, are hyper and easily distracted you may well be asking yourself this question. Gain further insight into what may be troubling you with our ADHD checklist.
You are one of the most lovable people on Earth, but some personality characteristics make your relationship with others a challenge. Learn more about what could be causing issues for you.
If you are asking yourself, “Do I have ADHD?" you need to know what symptoms to look for. The most commonly known symptoms include hyperactivity and impulsivity, but you can experience other symptoms as well.
1) Your mind wanders from routine or boring tasks. The same happens with reading material you classify as difficult or dull.
You find it hard to focus on conversations.
2) You have difficulty paying attention and concentrating on the task at hand. Ambient noises take your attention away, making it necessary to work in a quiet environment.
3) You can’t stop daydreaming. In class or at work, you are the student or employee, staring out the window, “woolgathering."
1) Minor events annoy you more than they would someone who does not have ADHD.
2) If you have ADHD, you may be more irritable than those without this condition. You may also have a shorter temper.
3) You may notice your moods have more defined highs and lows.
4) You are more thin-skinned; things that don’t upset others upset you much more easily. You take offense at things others are able to easily shrug off.
1) You seem to lack a "mental filter," meaning you say things without thinking them through. Later, you may regret that you said anything.
2) You make fast (rash) decisions without thinking about possible consequences.
3) You interrupt conversations and activities impulsively, not noticing that other people are already occupied.
1) You have difficulty planning what you need to do and in what order you need to complete specific activities or tasks (poor executive function).
2) You frequently misplace or lose school supplies, personal belongings, work items and toys. You also lose school and work assignments frequently.
1) You seem to have a nearly compulsive need to be “on the go." Sitting still is difficult, if not uncomfortable.
2) If you are a child, you are highly physically active and unable to sit still; even when sitting at your desk, you are jiggling feet, legs or hands in a restless manner.
1) You may start several projects, but you don’t always see them through to completion. The unfinished models, dog-eared books and other hobbies quietly gathering dust attest to this tendency quite well.
2) School assignments, even when begun with the best of intentions, are dropped in favor of something more interesting –– spending time with a friend, playing a video game or watching a movie.
1) You interrupt questions before the questioner has finished speaking.
2) If you are a child with ADHD you can’t wait your turn at games when in the playground. You are the one fidgeting and bouncing around impatiently.
3) If you are an adult with ADHD, you seem to ignore loved ones or push them away. This impacts relationships, making them more difficult.
Any “yes" answers to the symptoms listed in the above sections can point you toward a more definite explanation of what is happening to you. Ask yourself one more time, “Do I have ADHD?" and discuss your research with your doctor.

The widest and wildest creative responses to climate change in arts venues, on streets, in schools, at festivals, across broadcast, film, fashion and music.
From June to December 2018, the UK's creative community hosted a season of diverse, multidisciplinary responses across the arts, culture and creative industries. Involving 76 venues, 68 organisations and 119 events nationwide over a period of 6 months, it was the first coordinated national response from artists and arts organisations speaking out together on the future of our planet, a global chorus about our Earth. Centred on optimism and celebrating the environment through culture, it aimed to inspire action on climate change.
The Season coincided with the landmark UN Climate of Parties 'COP24' talks taking place in December 2018, which were critical in meeting the targets of the Paris Agreement.

Now, America Votes. The question that remains is who wins and who loses. The problem with that statement is that there is a genuine unknown factor in election 2016. If Trump wins, there is little doubt that Clinton will concede. If Clinton wins, will Trump admit that he lost?
Observers note that Trump has not won contests of various sorts before throughout his career. He has gone bankrupt and has had failed business ventures, but he has not lost. Throughout this campaign, Trump has never acted with grace. He never showed any dignity or decency towards his opponents; Hillary in the general election and earlier even towards his Republican opponents. This gives serious pause for many to seriously ponder what will be his response if he does not win. This could certainly be true if the final votes are close but he might also respond unconventionally if he loses big. Challenges and law suits may just be the tip of the iceberg as Trump could end the campaign persisting to attack the system as fixed and rigged!
For Donald Trump’s followers—if he does not encourage them to accept the finality of the voting process—the election could just be the beginning of some type of citizen upraising; not exclusively a political movement. How it will manifest itself and what types of actions will occur in the streets, cities, and state capitals is indeed unknown. What is clear is that while some will despair and some will cry, many of the Trump army will want to continue the fight. What that means is not at all clear. In addition, no one knows how Trump himself will respond to their outcry. Will he walk away? Create a TV network of his own? Go back to business as usual; or will he lead them to the barricades?
Meanwhile, it is only a matter of hours.

Ethical Lapse at ‘NY Times’ in Maureen Dowd/Kathryn Harrison Review Flap?
There has been much commentary on the fact that Maureen Dowd had given Harrison a bad review in the past, and whether or not it was ethical for Harrison to review Dowd’s book in return.
Every so often editors at the influential New York Times Book Review are accused of assigning a book to a reviewer with some link, happy or mad, with an author that may have slanted their assessment. And once in awhile a reviewer there offers surprisingly unkind words about a book by one of the newspaper’s staffers. These two unusual events seemingly came together in one place this month in a review of columnist Maureen Dowd’s new bestseller, Are Men Necessary.
The review was written by well-known writer Kathryn Harrison, who Dowd had mocked in a couple of columns in 1997.
I guess the most obvious answer is that it was unethical to put Harrison as the reviewer.
But as a fiction writer and one who pays close attention to book reviews, I realize that in the book world, the critics are very often aspiring or even successful writers themselves. I would argue that there’s a lot more jealousy and personal attacks in the book critic world than say, the film critic world.
So yes, maybe they should have assigned a different reviewer, especially since this is the NY Times who can pick and choose among a variety of journalists. If this had happened at a smaller review publication, however, I would be a lot more forgiving.
Small wonder. The book, first published in 1954, may never get to the screen, at least not in anything resembling its literary form. It’s just too dreadful. While the book’s storytelling virtues are enormous, you don’t have to be a bluestocking of political correctness to find some of this fantasy anti-Arab, or anti-Eastern, or anti-Ottoman. With all its stereotypes, mostly played for belly laughs, there are moments you’d like to stuff this story back into its closet.

What’s so special about 3-14-15 at 9:26:53 a.m. and p.m.?
Okay, for you non-math-nerds out there: the numbers of the date and time together are the first ten digits of the mathematical constant pi (π), which, as I am sure you dimly recall, is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
The coincidence of date and time = π happens only once each century.
What does this have to do with the law? Well, nothing, I guess. Except that if the courthouse were open on the notable day, you could bring a pecan π to the courthouse for all to share. That not being the case this particular century, simply bake your own and enjoy it Saturday with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You deserve it after a busy week practicing law.
Correction, Your Honor: if we use year-first conventions, then Pi Moment can also be 31.4.15 at 9:56:23 am and pm. Which gives us just over sixteen years to plan for pie.
I always enjoy reading your comments. I may bake a pi (π) Saturday, but I prefer chocolate pi (π) rather than pecan pi (π).

The Federal Bureau of Prisons manages approximately 207,000 inmates across 122 institutions and will serve an estimated 227 million meals during the year. That's a lot of individuals to feed, and nutritional management of the prison population isn't taken lightly. In fact, the Health Services division assistant director, who is also a physician and BOP's medical director, provides oversight of the program.
"One of [the BOP's] specific missions is to provide healthy, nutritionally-sound and appetizing meals that meet the needs of the general population and those at nutritional risk," says CDR Mitchel Holliday, MS, MSEd, RDN, CDE, FAND, BOP's chief dietitian and commissioned officer within the United States Public Health Service.
To help meet this mission, in 2008, the BOP implemented a national menu to be served at all institutions across the agency. Standardized recipes and product specification are used for food procurement, preparation and meal service. The menu utilizes a five-week menu cycle and is offered in a self-selection format. The menu is reviewed at least annually to assess inmate eating preferences, operation impact, product pricing and nutritional content.
According to Holliday, the BOP has been able to utilize its standardized menu offerings to greatly enhance its ability to meet the nutritional needs of the prison population.
"Since its implementation, we have reduced cholesterol and saturated fat levels to those recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and sodium offering by one-third," he says. "We have also been able to develop a number of standardized medical nutrition related clinical practice guidelines for such areas as diabetes management, food allergies and post-bariatric surgery management."
To ensure the appropriate nutritional management of those at increased nutritional risk, the BOP presently employs 15 registered dietitian nutritionists — eight civil service and seven who are commissioned officers with the United States Public Health Service. According to Holliday, "Twelve of our RDNs provide clinical dietetic services at medical facilities that are Joint Commission accredited. We also have one RDN in a role as a food service administrator and one RDN within our Central Office that provides tele-nutrition for inmates with higher nutritional risk issues that are housed at facilities that do not have RDNs on staff."
While Holliday acknowledges that there is a stigma associated with those who are incarcerated, which is sometimes hard for many health-care workers to overcome, the day-to-day operations, quality of service provided and food served is not at all how many RDNs might imagine.
"The patients are some of the most appreciative I have ever worked with. The food is of good quality and nutritional standards are all evidenced-based. We provide all of our inmates' access to heart-healthy dietary options, vegetarian options, fruit and whole-grain breads," says Holliday. "As an agency, we know that serving our population a healthful diet is the right thing to do and management of inmates' health and the potential long-term prevention of nutrition-related chronic disease is the right thing for everyone."

Can you believe the holiday season is already in full swing? I love the holidays now, but there was a period in my life when I associated the holidays with food-fear, dread and guilt because of the negative impact they had on my health. Back in the day, I allowed food to rule my world. I had no control over my sugar cravings and would find myself 5-10 lbs heavier by the New Year. It sucked.
Food does not hold power over you. Whatever you eat, that is your choice. You get to choose what you want to eat.
Want to have a piece of pie? Have it…and love every bite.
Prefer to pass on dessert? That’s fine too.
Is that stuffing calling to you? Great. Eat a few forkfuls.
Would you rather save space for more veggies? Good choice too.
You know what foods make you feel good, which bring you joy and which you can do without. Trust in that.
Do not abandon health routines and put self-care on the back-burner. I see this all the time. We work hard all year long and then use the holiday season as a free pass to go do nothing and then punish ourselves in the New Year.
By holding true to your normal routines, and allowing a few days of indulgence (if you choose to) I bet you won’t even notice a difference in how you feel and how your clothes fit.
· Eat the way you normally do all year long and choose just a couple of days to indulge.
You do not need to eat all the treats at all the parties, and every day in between, all holiday season long.
· Decide on your ‘non-negotiables’. These are the things that you do for yourself that keep you on your health and fitness path that you refuse to give up. For me it’s my exercise, eating high quality food, limiting sugar and getting enough SLEEP.
With all of the delicious treats filling our holiday table, it's pretty easy to pack in a week's worth of calories in one sitting.
Take a few deep breaths before eating. Being in the rest and digest state will help you digest better, feel satisfied sooner and allow you to thoroughly enjoy your meal.
Pick the foods you want to indulge in, but pay attention to how you feel when eating them. Notice how the pleasure those foods bring you fade after a few bites. Now think about if there will be pleasure in eating a massive portion, or if those few delicious bites are enough.
Eat slowly and put your fork down in between bites. Enjoy every bite.
Pay attention to how you feel and WHY you are eating. Holiday times bring up many emotions and it is easy to eat to cover up feelings instead of eating to fulfill hunger on a cellular level. Think about whether you are eating because in reality you are missing someone, feeling lonely, angry, sad.
After you finish that plate full, put your plate and utensils in the sink. You'll be less likely to dig in for seconds when you don’t have a plate in front of you.
Tempted to pick? Brush your teeth. I bring my toothbrush and toothpaste with me to parties. No shame here!
If you are a picker, avoid being the one to clear the food from the table. Instead volunteer to do the dishes. Or pop gum or a mint in your mouth.
Get rid of anything that doesn’t serve you. You don’t need to have 4 pies in your house all week…what do you think is going to happen?
Throw them away. YES…it is OK to throw away food that leads you away from your health goals, causes you to overeat or brings on a sense of guilt when you eat it.
With all of the extra things to pack into our already over packed schedules, the temptation to skimp out on our exercise routine is strong. But the positive impact of exercise on our mood and stress levels is needed more than ever during the holiday season.
Plan out your training a couple of weeks in advance. Jogs, bike rides, walks, yoga...put them all in your calendar.
Sign up for an exercise program for the next few weeks. I already have my Orangetheory classes scheduled into the New Year.
Get rid of the "All Or Nothing" mentality. "If I can't do an hour I won't do anything". Walk, do a 10-minute Tabata, try a YouTube yoga video. Every bit of movement you can fit into your day means something and those short bursts of exercise add up.
Change up your schedule to hit the gym earlier to get a workout in before everyone else gets up. This way you get your workout in and have plenty of time for hanging with the family and enjoying holiday festivities.
Most importantly, remember that the holidays are not about binge eating. They are a time to spend with family and friends, reflect on the things that are most important to you and practice gratitude. Try spending the first few moments after you wake up thinking about at least one thing you are grateful for. The effect can be pretty powerful.

In October 2017, we wrote that the Court of Appeal in Lungowe and others v. Vedanta and KCM  EWCA (Civ) 1528 risked creating a "Catch 22" for English domiciled multinationals - by fulfilling the responsibility to respect human rights under the UN Guiding Principles (UNGPs) and implementing a group human rights policy, the parent company could inadvertently create a duty of care under English law giving the English courts jurisdiction over claims against both parent and subsidiary. On Valentine's Day 2018, the same Court handed down its judgment in Okpabi and others v Royal Dutch Shell Plc and another  EWCA Civ 191. It goes some way to resolving this risk and offers helpful guidance to UK multinationals on how to fulfil the UNGPs without increasing their legal risk.
In January 2017, the High Court decided in favour of Shell and its Nigerian subsidiary, upholding challenges to the jurisdiction of the English courts over claims by victims of oil leaks from pipelines in the Niger Delta. The judge found that the claimants had failed to present a properly arguable case that Shell owed them a direct duty of care. Absent proceedings against a UK-domiciled anchor defendant, there was no connection between the claims against the Nigerian subsidiary and the English courts. The claimants appealed on the basis that the judge had erred in his analysis.
The appeal was dismissed. A majority of the Court of Appeal (Sales J dissenting) agreed with the judge's conclusion (albeit that they disagreed with aspects of his analysis). All three justices applied the ‘seven propositions’ material to the existence of a parent company duty of care set out by the same Court in Vedanta . This was not challenged by either party and should now be considered settled law.
It was the third of these propositions (that a parent might owe a duty to a third party directly affected by the operations of a subsidiary in circumstances where the ‘parent company has taken direct responsibility for devising a material health and safety policy the adequacy of which is the subject of the claim or controls the operations which give rise to the claim’) which prompted concerns that English multinationals would be dissuaded from fulfilling their responsibility under the UNGPs, including to devise, publish and implement group human rights policies.
Notably, the Court in Shell did not restrict the application of this proposition to ‘health and safety’ policies, instead referring generally to ‘policies the adequacy of which is the subject of the claim’ [88, 132], and considering evidence from Shell's sustainability report (amongst other, non-health and safety specific, documents). On this basis, there would be nothing to prevent an English court from considering a company's human rights policy in determining whether a duty of care arises to prevent human rights violations which also give rise to a cause of action under the applicable law.
The Court distinguished between a parent company which takes steps to ensure that there are proper controls in place by establishing an overall system of mandatory policies, processes and uniform practices, on the one hand, and a parent company which actually seeks to exercise control, on the other [125, 140]. Only in the case of the latter might a duty of care arise (for example, where a parent company implements the policy or carries out due diligence on a subsidiary's behalf).
the responsibility for implementing these policies (including by carrying out due diligence) rests at subsidiary level. As we wrote previously, not only will this reduce the risk of a duty of care arising, it will likely be more effective in preventing an adverse human rights impact in the first place. To ensure that operating company personnel can effectively discharge this function, businesses should consider allocating resources to ensure that they are properly trained in human rights due diligence and prevention.

I road ten+ miles last night and averaged 14.30 mph, all in 90+ degree heat. Not too shabby for an old lady. Once I get to 30 miles and can average 17-20 mph I’ll be happy with that. There’s a group ride that meets every Friday from the bike shop in Lincolnton. It’s a fast ride and I’m working up to being able to hang on that ride. Hopefully by the fall I’ll be there.
Tomorrow I plan to ride to Wally’s house in the morning, then go and have a quick breakfast with him. After that, I’ll come back to work dogs. The way back field is cut so unless the closer field is cut today I’ll bring the livestock out to the mowed and hayed field and work there. Gel got a bit of work in last night. The cattle have a lot of flies on them so I wanted to spray them with some insecticide. Easier said that done, but we got it done.
I left the sheep out while I was spraying the cattle and where do darned beasts go? The newly tilled and planted area behind my house. Beasts! I quickly chased them out of the area and kept a close eye on them for the rest of the time they were out. Must get some fencing up, even if it’s only temporary until I get time to get permanent fence up. I know what I’m going to do for fencing, but I need to wait for my landlord to have the auger on his tractor to dig holes. I’m not going to try to dig holes for wooden posts with a manual post hole digger. Now that’s one thing I could use a man for.
Tomorrow is the Belmont Stakes and I will watch it. I wonder if Big Brown will win and become the first triple crown winner since 1978 – the year I graduated from high school! Is the reason why there hasn’t been a Triple Crown winner since 1978 because they are breeding faster horses or is it because the health of Thoroughbreds is declining? I vote for the latter. Is breeding for speed and quick financial results bringing fragility instead of durability? Some people blame health issues suffered by Thoroughbreds on inbreeding. According to this article, Virtually all 500,000 of the world’s thoroughbred racehorses are descended from 28 ancestors, born in the 18th and 19th centuries, according to a new genetic study. And up to 95% of male thoroughbreds can be traced back to just one stallion.
The life of a race horse is often not ideal; well, if they are winning it may be, but how many of them win consistently? Race horses are excessively (and often illegally) drugged. Excessive drug use of any kind does not help the health of the animal. I suppose the life of any animal that humankind has decided they can make money off it is suspect, at best.
Maybe I won’t watch the Belmont after all.
Is the Earth in trouble?

I have just come back from Milan, where I took part in the BIT , the renowned exhibition devoted to tourism, which has been the international travel industry benchmark since 1980. This year's event saw the participation of over 62.000 visitors.
The programme of meetings and in depth analyses, put on for the agents of that sector, was very interesting. Those in which I took part impressed me and gave me new ideas and knowledge.
The most exciting moment was my entrance to the stands of the exhibition, where the colours of nature and the sounds of the dances and folk music carried me off to the magical atmosphere of holidays.
and the places of my wonderful Campania.
If the sea is your passion, keep a close eye on me!

Hello and welcome to my site my name is Derek Say and I have lived in Cirencester since 1985, (originally growing up in Tetbury some 10 miles away). I have always been involved with bikes in one way or another having built and maintained my first bike at the age of thirteen and then when I left school I decided to attend and complete a “Time Served Apprenticeship” at the Mid Glos Technical College in Stroud back in 1974 - 1978. This gave me the opportunity to begin to understand the fundamentals of engineering and so forth gave me the knowledge to move forward with my passion.
The first bike I ever built was a 197 Francis Barnett, which was a scrambler rolling chassis that came with a big box with a mixture of 150 and a 197 Villiers bits in. I couldn't wait to get home from school to finish it and run it up and down the street. My first real road bike was a 1974 Purple (Fizzy) FS1E and after a few modifications I could get 72 mph down-hill. This has lead to a large number of bikes over the years from a Suzuki GT 380, GT 185, GT 125, GT 500, GT 750 (Kettle), 250 & 490 Maico, Yamaha YZ 250 MotoX and a number of Honda Fireblades.
For a number of years I rode MotoX in the Cirencester club with our home track being at Purton, nothing like it on a muddy day. As you can guess I did all my own preparation work which saved me a fortune, and the bike always looked the business.
In 1990 I set up my own small business running alongside my full time job carrying out race preparation, rebuilds and tuning for MotoX bikes. I had a large following looking after the Mid wilts schoolboys club, and also a top 25 rider. During all of this I still had my day job which was a Company Engineer for a Corrugated Fibre Board and printing Company. This meant I was responsible for everyday engineering, projects, budgets, health and safety, pressure systems at work and a large maintenance fleet running three shifts on three sites.
I have also worked as a consultant engineer for a design and development company , designing and building a machine that deals with clinical waste.
As you can tell throughout the years my #1 passion has always been motorbikes in any shape or form, it has made me understand and appreciate all that goes in to making one of these fantastic machines and so I decided in 2008 to setup my own business with the help of my wife and children and now as my grandchildren are growing they too share my passion and love and support me in moving this business forward.
I hope that you too can come and join our family unit and I look forward to seeing you in the future.

“Our love is not a destination but a journey… meet me at Haiku Mill.” With this note, Elements by KH and CO describes the voyage of this bride. Discovered in the rolling, cloud-kissed fields of Maui’s upcountry, the bride’s journey to historic Haiku Mill begins.
Descending into Makawao’s majestic forests, to the bucolic, misty comfort of her dwelling in the woods, a transformation takes place. The resplendent beauty of her long, flowing Galia Lahav dress and fur trim gives way to one of simple elegance; the natural crown that was woven into her chestnut tresses disappears, and her floral bouquet is discarded.
She is ready to greet her love in her purest form. From her abode she continues, floating amongst silent pines, meandering through sun-soaked clearings, onward to her final destination.

So now you are probably wondering how you can find and qualify a genuine wholesale drop shipper. You will need some patience and time to search through a drop shipper directory in order to find the best drop shipping companies for your particular product niche. There are many drop shipper directories available on the Internet, but not all of them are genuine. You The largest and most reputable drop shipper directory is AliExpress (aliexpress.com).
Beware of drop shipper directories that list companies that require you to purchase a membership or pay a licensing fee in order to sell their products. It’s one thing to purchase a membership for a drop shipper directory, as you are essentially paying for the work that went into researching and certifying the companies listed in the directory. But it’s not okay for a company to charge you a membership fee just to drop ship products for you, as they are already profiting by selling the wholesale products to you. You should pay shipping costs to them, but then you will typically turn around and recoup those shipping fees from your customers.
There are also bogus drop shipper directories on which a potential e-commerce storefront may mistakenly spend hundreds of dollars. These really contain names of middlemen posing as drop shippers. These sham drop shippers will charge you much more than you should pay for your products. Very inexpensive lists of drop shippers should also be avoided because they likely contain false and/or out-of-date information. When you try to contact the companies on these lists, you will find that they have gone out of business or never even existed at all.
AliExpress has very high standards when it comes to qualifying the drop shippers listed in their directory. Each of the thousands of wholesale drop shipping companies listed in the Aliexpress drop shipper directory is not genuine, but you can choose trusted seller by their rating. The company has a full-time staff of researchers whose only job is to qualify more and more legitimate wholesale drop shippers who will agree to work with Internet storeowners. They continually keep their wholesale directory up-to-date and are always adding the best drop shipping companies as they find them. In Aliexpress, you can find companies that sell just about anything you can think of from jewelry, comforters, furniture, electronics and more.

All of us at LexisNexis are proud to help veterans by providing them and their representatives the tools and resources they need to address military service and discharge records that prevent veterans from accessing vital care and services.
LexisNexis® Legal & Professional today announced that it has added the US Department of Defense (DOD) Boards for the Correction of Military Records to its flagship Lexis Advance® offering, creating the only online resource for veterans and their advocates to search military record change information from each branch of the military, comprehensively and all in one place. The action is part of the company’s ongoing Pro Bono Task Force work to support American military veterans.
“All of us at LexisNexis are proud to help veterans by providing them and their representatives the tools and resources they need to address military service and discharge records that prevent veterans from accessing vital care and services,” said Kermit Lowery, retired US Army JAG Officer and current vice president of legal for the North American Legal Research Solutions business of LexisNexis.
The unique set of content added by LexisNexis contains more than 127,000 decisions and changes addressing errors or removing injustices to individual military records and discharge status of service members in the United States Army, Air Force, Navy (including Marine Corps) and Coast Guard between 2008 to the present. It is sourced from the DOD BCMR Board of Decisions and is now, for the first time, offered in a combined, searchable database on Lexis Advance through the Premier Federal Core Agency & Admin Materials collection.
Access to a unified database of this information is a helpful new tool for individual veterans and the lawyers, organizations and others who advocate for them. The ability to conduct a single search, find and assess changes to military records and discharge status across all branches of the military helps advocates find precedent and see trends and patterns into what worked to achieve a record change or discharge upgrade when it was legitimately warranted. This is particularly important for veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) who may have been discharged under less than honorable circumstances, preventing their access to VA health care services, VA home loans, educational benefits and temporary shelter if homeless.
“Any veteran suffering from PTSD and TBI has legitimate health concerns, and they should be treated as such,” said Lowery. “For those facing challenges getting the care and services they need based on their discharge status, if we can help them and their legal advocates find ways to open up access to those services where warranted, we feel we are doing the right thing by the men and women who serve our country,” said Lowery.
The LexisNexis Pro Bono Task Force is a group within LexisNexis responsible for managing the company's pro bono activities to maximize the value realized from those activities, both by the company and by the group beneficiaries. The Pro Bono Task Force identifies appropriate pro bono opportunities, encourages LexisNexis employees to use their two paid pro bono volunteering days per year with approved pro bono organizations, coordinates the donation of equipment and services to approved pro bono organizations, and develops programs and policies to foster the long term success of the company's pro bono initiative.

“There are songs that come free from the blue-eyed grass, from the dust of a thousand country roads. This is one of them.” So begins the book The Bridges of Madison County written by Robert James Waller in 1992. Appropriate then, that this incredible book, and popular movie, would become a 2014 Tony Award- winning musical. The lush romantic score written by Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade, Songs for a New World) and beautiful script by playwright Marsha Norman (‘night, Mother, The Secret Garden, The Color Purple) take us into the lives of Francesca Johnson and Robert Kincaid and their beautiful love story.
There have been several times in my life when a play comes along that I “need”. A story that strikes chords and pushes buttons in me that I need to listen to, I need to hear its message. The Bridges of Madison County is one such story. This music, these words, these people touch places in my heart and soul and shake me to my very core. I have been moved by the truth of this tale, and it has made my heart open up to the possibilities of true love and romance, of destiny and forever.

Jai Vernon-McGuigan`s cross country season came to a close at Glasgow’s Rouken Glen. The LPS athlete, representing the North of England, took on some of the nation`s best in the traditional Home Countries international. Barely expected to finish in the first dozen or so of the Under 20 race he astounded everybody with yet another gutsy run and a stunning sixth spot. First Northern vest home will be very satisfying and surely a prelude to a full international one next season.
While Jai was leading his region some 300 miles south the English Schools Cross Country Championships were being held at Ilton in Somerset and Rosie Johnson was replicating this performance for the Merseyside team in the Junior Girls race. Her tenacity brought her home fifteenth and with the additional pleasure of a team bronze medal to celebrate the occasion. At Intermediate level Ryan Blackwell(Lancs) had his usual tussle with James Grundy(Mersey) the positions running out at 81st to 86th this time. In the Junior Boy’s race Daniel Wright (Mersey) was 270th, whilst Georgie Hannaway (242nd) exceeded expectations by finishing 4th counter for Merseyside Intermediate girls, despite starting 7th in the pen.
On domestic territory the Liverpool Half Marathon attracted 2000 runners. Kirsty Longley marked her debut at that distance with 77th overall and third female to finish. Her time was an extremely good 83.45. Inspiring weekends are becoming a familiar feature to the Edge Hill University based squad.

The SACP will tell the Zondo inquiry that Madonsela was among those who aided Zuma early on and were later appointed to top positions.
Former Public Protector (PP) Thuli Madonsela was part of an “engine room” which advised former president Jacob Zuma on what his government’s polices should be, members of which were later appointed to key positions, the SACP deputy secretary general Solly Mapaila plans to tell the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture, according to an explosive report in The Sunday Times.
Members of the “engine room” say it was just a “think tank”, with Madonsela saying she is often approached for such work and there was never any discussion of the members getting government positions.
Mapaila, however, alleges the group was set up in secret without the knowledge of the ANC’s alliance partners and that Zuma implemented some of its suggestions despite them being against the advice of a transitional team set up by the ANC, SACP and Cosatu to set the agenda for Zuma’s presidency.
He also believes the group shows how “capture happened even before” Zuma became president.
As well as Madonsela, former national police commission Riah Phiyega, Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) chairperson Glen Mashinini and Vincent Magwenya, who later became Zuma’s spokesperson, are alleged to be among those who formed the “engine room”.
The full report is available in today’s Sunday Times.
While the “engine room” may just have been a “think tank” as its members claim, and has not been linked to any corruption, the idea of Madonsela as someone who may have aided Zuma in any way may be surprising to some who saw her role, through reports released as Public Protector that highlighted state capture and irregularities in the financing of upgrades to his Nkanda homestead, as central to his eventual downfall.
In her report titled “Secure in Comfort” she instructed, through remedial actions, that President Jacob Zuma pay back a portion of the R246 million of taxpayers’ money used to upgrade his homestead in KwaZulu-Natal.
Her ‘state capture‘ report, led to the establishment of the Zondo commission.
The Citizen reported in March, 2018 that the evidence – and pressure – piled up against Zuma following the hand over of former public protector (PP) Thuli Madonsela’s investigation record to the commission of inquiry into allegations of state capture, corruption and fraud in the public sector, including organs of state.
PP Busisiwe Mkhwebane had previously said Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo “must” investigate all the issues using the record of the investigation and Madonsela’s “State of Capture” report as a starting point.
Judiciary spokesperson Nathi Ncube told The Citizen he would not speculate on how helpful the information could be to the Zondo commission.
Madonsela cautioned Zuma at the time that he would be flouting the law if he went beyond the remedial actions of the report.
“The president has no authority to change the terms of reference of the commission. He can announce a commission of inquiry into any matter at any given point as per his executive powers outlined in the constitution,” Madonsela responded.

The wide world of celebrity has opened up in the last decade as the internet has allowed the general public access into the lives of just about anyone, rather than just the Hollywood stars and starlets of yesteryear. Rather than becoming famous for being in blockbuster films, the new crop of megastars have somehow managed to turn sheer opulence and the illusion of drama into fodder for public consumption.
In the past, the world's richest and most famous people might have allowed newspapers an opportunity to catch a picture of limousines pulling up to their houses, or dropping off stars at the red carpet for another go-around of the Academy Awards. They didn't want too much of their personal lives being spread out into the world around them; whether it was a sense of privacy, impropriety, or embarrassment that their lifestyle might have seemed, in some, over-the-top.
But over-the-top is exactly what social media craves these days, and an entire sub-genre of celebrities has emerged that reveals just how different the lives of the rich and famous are from the average person. Flashing cash, cars, private jets, and private mansions, the rich kids of the internet reveal exactly how out of touch a few million (or billion) dollars can leave a person.
But fear not, as the more basic stars these days are engaged in exactly that kind of self-promotion, using social media to further their acting, singing, or business careers. But history has consistently revealed that the celebrities being worshipped are mere humans just like their fans and some celebs have managed to become equally famous for being poor drivers.
The internet is chock full of images from the Middle East depicting the lavish lifestyles that oil-wealthy citizens of countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman enjoy. Dubai, located in the UAE, is perhaps the most famous for being as lavish as humanly possible—though the limits of what is humanly possible seem to expand every day.
With one of the world's most extreme humanitarian crises going on just across the peninsula, it's nice to know that rich kids in Dubai are getting together to celebrate the many colors that they can custom order to coat their many Lamborghinis.
Lil Tay is an online persona utilized to garner social media followers. But when an 11-year-old child is flashing ridiculous amounts of money in her posts, especially while seated on the hood of a G-Wagen she can't even come close to driving, there's bound to be some drama developing. In this case, a fierce media campaign has developed between Lil Tay's parents, her manager, and her promotor—all of whom have raised numerous claims of misconduct and levied them and everyone else.
With a potential TV show in the works and a music career planned, clearly, no one has stopped to wonder whether this was all a bad idea, to begin with.
Jack Watkins is an infamous rich kid who constantly posts images online featuring his ridiculous car collection. The most hilarious part of the puzzle is that Watkins started showing off cars, like this 991-generation Porsche, at the age of 17.
He had only just passed his driving test, though his parents had already bought him a car that most drivers can only dream of. And the Porsche isn't all, he's also got a couple of Mercedes models and a Range Rover Vogue—plus a BVLGARI watch valued at $700,000. And yet, Watkins complained to The Mirror that, "all my cars don’t automatically fill themselves with petrol. My dad has to make the money to do those things. It takes a lot of maintenance."
Little is known about this rich kid who posted a pic of herself alongside a Porsche Panamera. All that is clear is that she's got gobs of money, lives in Russia, and her name is probably Arina. And while the Porsche Panamera, especially in range-topping Turbo format with all-wheel drive—which it's safe to assume she's got—may be a good choice for those cold winters in Russia, there's no doubt she did nothing to earn such a luxury car other than being born into a wealthy family.
A look at her outfit, rife with fur, and this kid will have gearheads and fashionistas jealous after just a single glance.
"Anyone can be rich but not everyone can be beautiful," and "I’m not suitable for an office job because of how well I dress and how educated I am," serve only to highlight the iniquities of a world that's increasingly divided between the haves and the have nots. Sounds complex.
This young man is dressed to the nines and clearly on the phone for some important business that couldn't wait until after the wedding he's attending. Luckily, the valet has managed to park all the cars in nice, neat rows to match his pinstriped purple suit.
At first glance, there appears to be two BMWs, a Porsche Panamera, and a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen—all in white, of course. Hiding in the back is an unidentifiable, black sedan. The chances seem high that this wealthy socialite specifically asked the valet to make sure that the fancier white cars be parked out front so that his photo would turn out nicer.
Jacky Changzhou belongs to that rare breed of online personalities known as 'influencers' due to their wide reach into the depths of internet semi-stardom.
Changzhou is located in Vancouver, Canada, and constantly posts photos of his car obsessions. Why, exactly, people feel the need to follow a young man with the means to acquire exceedingly expensive cars at a young age (for no apparent reason other than that he's got to fill his time and improve those follower stats) is a mystery that remains to be cracked. But be honest, most car buffs would probably pick up a McLaren or two given the chance, as well.
If Victor Yanez looks a bit mopey next to his epic BMW i8—a hybrid sports car that should be elevating his spirits thanks to its style, performance, and eco-friendly efficiency—perhaps the reason is that he knows he doesn't deserve this kind of wealth, at all.
While most of the rich kids online are merely the beneficiaries of familial circumstances and parents with a complete disregard for any kind of discipline, Yanez's story is actually a bit darker. He'd been flashing a life of luxury around the web, even getting involved with rapper Rick Ross, before the Miami police picked him up for possession and distribution of arms and illicit substances.
Dhillan Bhardwaj is a young fashion millionaire who made waves when he appeared on a TV show called Rich Kids Go Skint. Translated, that means that rich kids were forced to act like the rest of the world for a while, living with a family that receives government assistance. To his credit, Bhardwaj says it reminded him a bit of his earlier childhood—not that his family was receiving benefits or anything, but they did have to use a budget.
Bhardwaj's brand is worldwide, and he's even worked for Rihanna and Miley Cyrus. It's up to the rest of the world to decide whether he deserves a Rolls, though.
Evan Luthra is perhaps the most serious of all the rich kids that flaunt their wealth online. To some extent, he's earned his extravagance himself. Though he was raised with quite a few privileges, he has taken the next step in acquiring serious wealth.
Now an angel investor and entrepreneur in his 20s, part of Luthra's branding clearly requires that he sit on top of a Maserati next to his private jet. But while he's helping startups create mobile apps, is there any time for Luthra to consider the fact that the world that surrounded him in India growing up was full of kids his age struggling to make it on a day to day basis?
Halle Berry may have risen to stardom thanks to her action roles in some early-2000s films like the James Bond movie Die Another Day and the X-Men franchise, but her crowning achievement was earning an Oscar for her performance in Monster's Ball. Other action films that she has been featured in include Swordfish, Kingsman, and the forthcoming third installment of the John Wick franchise. But don't let all those high-octane thrillers fool you, as Berry has had some problems while driving, including being fined for a hit-and-run in 2000.
She may have been brave enough to pilot a Ford Thunderbird across a frozen lake, but perhaps the director should have known better than to allow it.
Kris Kardashian is the infamous 'momager' of the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan, and her iron grip over the careers of her children is always fodder for tabloid speculation. Just how in-depth her participation has been—specifically in the more questionable reasons for why Kim blew up so fast—may always remain a mystery, but one thing's for certain: she should use all the money the entire family has earned to hire them all chauffeurs for life.
Of course, with Kris as a role model, it's no surprise the group has issues driving—take a look at this picture that was snapped of Kris prioritizing yelling into an iPhone over driving. Speakerphone doesn't fool anyone!
Justin Bieber should almost belong in the rich kids of the internet because he sure was rich while still a child. But while Bieber's talents as a singer speak for themselves, his talents as a driver are questionable, at best. Bieber antagonized the entirety of Calabasas by routinely taking any one of his plethora of supercars for 100 mph sprints down the San Fernando Valley town's streets.
In Bieber's defense, while behind the wheel of Lamborghinis and Ferraris, the urge to put the pedal to the metal can easily become exciting—but perhaps some track time would be a good outlet for this kid, where accidents won't be so potentially dangerous for the rest of humanity.
For the world outside of the United States, Cristiano Ronaldo might be the most famous celebrity of all. The world-class striker has been an elite athlete for more than a decade, and his speed on the pitch combined with a laser focus on scoring goals all the time makes him a defensive player's worst dream.
With all his wealth, Ronaldo has acquired some dream sports cars, though, and who could blame him? One thing he was blamed for, however, was totaling his Ferrari near Manchester on the way to practice. But luckily, he walked away without a scratch and was still able to practice—though presumably he was too shaken from the accident to do any defensive drills.
Chris Brown has enjoyed many hits in his lifetime, ever since his first single "Run It" topped the charts in 2005. His career has included further smashes like "Kiss Kiss", "Shortie Like Mine", and "Look At Me Now".
Everything hasn't been all hunky-dory, though, and the last few years have included some questionable incidents including a hostage situation at Brown's house and a number of accidents. Although Brown was reported not to be the driver of one of his Lamborghinis that ended up totaled in Beverly Hills, his penchant for getting into accidents includes totaling a Porsche while trying to evade paparazzi.
The fact that Eddie Griffin can manage a smile with one foot up on the front fender of a crashed Ferrari Enzo truly proves that this comedian has some serious acting chops. With roles in Coneheads, Armageddon, Undercover Brother, and John Q, Griffin has successfully parlayed his brand of humor into Hollywood's bankable blockbusters (well, other than Coneheads, maybe).
Griffin crashed the Enzo during a practice lap ahead of a promotional race for the movie Redline, and told reporters that "Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive."
The man known for playing Dr. Frasier Crane on the long-tenured sitcom Frasier, Kelsey Grammer, has had some seriously dark moments in his life that have left him needing a psychiatrist like the one he played on TV. Grammer points to a few early tragedies in his life as the reason he fell into addiction and it's a testament to his talents, abilities, and willpower that he has managed to enjoy such a prolific film career. But driving doesn't fit into the picture, as he's notorious for having flipped his Dodge Viper back in the 1990s.
These days, it's probably best if he sticks to being chauffeured around, as he is in this still from his recent project, The Last Tycoon.
January Jones starred in Mad Men as the troubled wife of the show's star, Don Draper, played by John Hamm. The actress hails from South Dakota and made steady appearances on Mad Men for eight years while simultaneously appearing in films like We Are Marshall, Pirate Radio, and X-Men: First Class.
Despite her character learning to drive as part of the story arc on Mad Men, Jones has had a rough time on the road in the real world and was involved in a strange occurrence when she hit three parked cars and then called celebrity chef Bobby Flay for reasons unknown.
Lindsay Lohan's long and storied history as one of Hollywood's biggest tabloid draws includes plenty of instances where she's gotten in a bit of trouble while behind the wheel of an automobile. But the life of a child star is hard, so much so that plenty of Hollywood films now even satirize the struggles that the young, rich, and famous have to endure.
Lohan hit it big with her starring role(s) in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, and would go on to star in Herbie Fully Loaded, another borderline remake-sequel about a Volkswagen Beetle that loves to race—perhaps the rear-engined bug inspired her to purchase the Porsche Carrera she's been spotted driving around town.
Rowan Atkinson may be a national treasure in the UK thanks to his iconic role playing Mr. Bean, but it would appear that the character's clumsy nature may, in fact, not require too much acting on the part of Atkinson.
In real life, Atkinson has been involved in classic automobile racing, usually behind the wheel of vintage Jaguars, but he also managed to make headlines when he crashed his million-dollar McLaren F1 supercar not once, but twice. At some point, the situation almost borders on Mr. Bean-like comedy, as the insurance claim to get the F1 fixed the first time itself made headlines as the largest insurance claim up to that point in UK's history.

The short story of an orphan girl launches online today and will be followed by TV edits.
Havas Media's first work for mobile operator Giffgaff is a Halloween spot that features an orphan brought up by a family of monsters.
The spot depicts the girl being rescued from the monsters by humans, before she becomes alienated by her new, "too perfect" surroundings.
She escapes back to her gruesome monster guardians to set up the ad’s tagline, "Stay because you want to stay", which is meant to reinforce Giffgaff's challenger credentials against its bigger rivals.
Giffgaff, which considers Halloween to be more important than Christmas in its marketing calendar, has enlisted Partizan’s Matthias Hoene to create and direct the work.
Hoene also shot the first-ever TV ad for Giffgaff, the zombie pastiche "Don’t be scared", which took over a whole ad break in 2013.
The full four-minute film launches online today and is followed by a 30-second TV spot that will debut on ITV during Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows (Part 1) on 20 October. The ads will be supported by content across Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Havas Group Media handled media planning and buying.
Havas Group Media now manages all of Telefónica's estimated £70m UK media spend, after the phone giant brought together the O2 and Giffgaff accounts in August and committed to keeping them as separate brands.
Abi Pearl, head of advertising at Giffgaff, said: "Halloween is our Christmas. In our most ambitious year yet, we have maintained our tradition of making a short film and, for the first time ever, taking it onto TV with a variety of cut-downs, with some great media planning from our new media agency, Havas Group Media.
"Matthias’ story of Esme, a ‘monster girl’ taken from her family of misfits and put into the creepy real world, is a tale of belonging, defiance and staying only because you want to."
