HER STORY IS INCREDIBLE EVERYONE SIT DOWN AND LEARN FROM THIS QUEEN ⤵️
Kiana Scott, who played minor hockey system for 11 seasons, including four seasons on boys teams, gravitated to scouting from watching her brother’s games and critiquing his strengths and weaknesses.
Unaware of jobs available in hockey, she enrolled in makeup artistry college after high school, but knew her heart was in the sport.
She eventually enrolled in an online hockey general manager scouting course.
Scott joined the International Scouting Service Hockey mentorship program in 2018 and scouted for the service for two years while holding down two jobs.
“I love scouting future prospects, and the evaluation process,” she said. “I think that's kind of where my passion lies. It's just the evaluation process. And it's exciting, building a team.”
Scott spent two seasons as a full-time scout for Erie before she took a bold step and left the organization to move to Calgary and became an independent scout in June 2022.
“I just kept practicing my craft and kind of paid my own way, like, throughout the whole year,” she said. “All of the tickets to every game, all of my travel expenses, everything. I just put all my money into scouting and trying to evolve and then I ended up getting my (Avalanche) internship the next year.”
Scott had some financial help from her family for the move and she supplemented her income by working as a bartender at a Calgary casino, a job with hours that allowed her to scout games.
If all that wasn’t enough, she also enrolled in the University of Florida’s online sports management program.
“I've always had the mindset to just keep betting on myself and working hard and evolving,” she said. “I think I've taken a lot of risks to get to where I am, but I wouldn't try to change the journey for anything.”
Scott said she hopes women, women of color and people who don’t come from a so-called “traditional” hockey background will follow her on the journey.
“I grew up playing hockey, but I didn’t play professional hockey, I didn’t go to college or university for hockey,” she said. “I just had a passion for it. I love scouting. I worked at it, and I continue working at my craft.
“People that don’t necessarily come from the traditional background, I hope they see themselves in me and believe that they can put their minds to it and get it done.”
-----
The 2024 NHL Draft was as eventful for Kiana Scott as it was for the players who were selected in the seven-round event at Sphere in Las Vegas last month.
The 25-year-old Barrie, Ontario, native signed with the Colorado Avalanche at the draft to become a full-time amateur scout, fulfilling a goal she has had since she was a teenager.
“This is something that I've worked really hard for my whole career to be able to sign my first NHL contract,” Scott said. “I was elated. The Avs have been really good for me the past year, and I’m excited to keep building with them.”
Scott joined the Avalanche after working as an intern for the organization.
Colorado general manager Chris MacFarland said he and executive director of hockey operations Suzanne Borchert “were impressed with her work ethic and her passion."
MacFarland said: “Kiana was on our radar when she was scouting in major junior circuits ... and it worked that a few years ago we had an internship opportunity for her.
“She did a good job in that role and was an integral part of our amateur scouting department. We’re excited to see her contributions moving forward in her full-time role as an amateur scout.”
-----
Scott made history when she became the first woman scout in the Ontario Hockey League with Erie in March 2020.
She was among the initial of a wave of women who were hired in recent years as scouts at all levels of hockey, including Cammi Granato (Seattle Kraken), Blake Bolden (Los Angeles Kings), Krissy Wendell-Pohl (Pittsburgh Penguins), Meghan Hunter (Chicago Blackhawks), Gabriella Switaj (Anaheim Ducks) and Brigette Lacquette (Chicago Blackhawks).
Granato moved on from Seattle to become an assistant general manager for the Vancouver Canucks on Feb. 10, 2022, and Hunter was promoted to assistant GM by the Blackhawks on June 22, 2022.
“When I first started scouting, I didn’t know of any women in the industry already,” she said. “Cammi Granato got her job with the NHL a year after I started scouting. That’s when I kind of knew it was possible. But I never had anyone to look up to. I just had this dream and the passion for hockey. I knew that I had to the talent and skill to do it, and to try to keep building on them.
"That’s what I’ve always gone off on -- keep evolving, never give up on what you love.”

For several years, I was the President of the Mojave Desert Land Trust, the organization described in this story. The story describes the work of Madena Asbell, who started up, organized and manages the seed bank. Madena is an amazing person. Low key but intensely brilliant and practical.
Excerpt from this story from CNN/Call to Earth:
Inside a Mojave aster flower, a tiny bee is fast asleep. At night, the pale lavender petals close, providing a safe resting place. In the morning, as birdsong rings out across the desert, the flower opens, revealing its tenant.
Here in southern California, in the middle of the Mojave Desert’s vast and arid landscape, it’s just one of many natural treasures hidden from view.
In long sleeves, pants, and wide-brimmed hats to guard against a harsh sun in a cloudless blue sky, a team of four led by Madena Asbell crouches in the dirt, looking for another treasure.
They are searching for a plant called erodium texanum, (common names Texas stork’s bill or heronbill), a type of herb native to California. More specifically, they are looking for its seeds.
“There’s so much life here,” Asbell says, “but it’s easy to not realize that when you’re in the desert.”
Asbell is the director of plant conservation for the Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT), a non-profit land conservancy that works to preserve and protect the Mojave and Colorado desert landscapes of California.
A quarter of the state is desert, home to roughly 2,400 plant species, according to MDLT. Eight years ago, Asbell had an idea. What if there was a way to preserve the ecosystem, centered around the seeds that facilitate all the life here? The result was the Mojave Desert Land Trust seed bank.
“The goal is to preserve this amazing genetic diversity that we have and make it available for restoration or reintroduction of species, should there be a disaster that wipes out a population,” Asbell says. “Plants are the foundation of most ecosystems, so when we protect these plants, we’re protecting everything that depends on them, like desert tortoise, burrowing owls and pollinators.”
In an ever-changing climate, the seed bank was just the type of “proactive” idea the organization was looking for, says Kelly Herbinson, executive director of MDLT.
“As a land trust, we’re realizing that just protecting land or buying land to protect it wasn’t going to be enough – that we had to take extra steps to really invest in that land,” Herbinson says.
In 2016, Mojave Desert Land Trust officially launched the seed bank project, which has since been described as a “Noah’s Ark” for southern California.
Three white refrigerators at MDLT headquarters in Joshua Tree, California, house the collection. There are over 5 million seeds from nearly 250 species and counting, according to the land trust.
Seeds come in from the field teams and undergo a “cut test” to determine viability – confirming the seed pods are full, and that there hasn’t been too much damage from insects or mold, making the seeds worth saving.

Yes...
I want it.
Who does window tinting?
How much do you want for it and what market are you on?
That car is located in Loveland???
I used to live there in the 1980s.
I note that the auto has Sirius XM Radio.
Does that come with free service? Does the auto have an internal server or SIM card technology (usually for the purpose of GPS mapping). 
If so, I would have to get a hold of a few people in Korea. Currently tritium is on the market, which comes from classified sources not to be discussed with those who are sane who would prefer to keep their sanity.
Currently I am unable to use common American digital transfer systems (which includes PayPal): I was enemy deresourced while on the Gambino market in the area of Vancouver Washington 98660 in contingency to an arrest in Portland Oregon and the case of a few serial killings in the area of Multnomah County. While everyone was selling bone jewelry, there where authorities killing people all willy nilly like, who then decided to patsify and lock up any and all persons on the street.
My old friends from K.U. (Theodore Flemming & Phillip Denton) where sort of paliperidone cooks who heavily head hunted in the jewish and gay rights activist circuits. Paliperidone is a medication that is commonly made out of the cranial tissue of children and mentally retarded people. I was busted in Oregon wearing bone jewelry which was not anything I killed, it was moreso bought from street vendor and malls. I am currently on Ko-Fi, which is the cannibal demographic out of New Zealand and the coast line. (See Also: Aural Vampire) They have staged a corporate takeover of the North West Coastline and have been making plastic. There are 11 plastics factories there and they are making plastics out of fat people and paliperidone out of military officers who have endorsed the slaying of endangered whales.  So: everyone in America who uses the internet will probably be arrested for utilization of illegal digital transfers (a banking felony) and online banking systems... while everyone in the cannibal mafia and everyone Maori Tribe continue to get away with online purchases through use of Ko-Fi systems.
That reminds me: I need to sue K.U. & Bert Nash anyway for psychological trauma and felony medical malpractice. It was their medical systems that gave my neice the orangutan zygote as well as prescriped me cannibal class drugs, while subjecting me to the cannibal demographic as well as the corporate warzone. Let me forward this to my shrink in Oklahoma as well as a few lawyers in the areas of Kansas and Colorado. Kansas has come to be of the primary consumers of corporate cannibal product and byproduct.
Too: the Emporia area chamber of commerce.
If possible, that I find anyone willing to work for or with the hot topic: that should put together accounts for gasoline, firearm, and anti-human technologies, which would include mini movie projectors and every last luxury.
I should be looking at a sum in excess of a couple hundred thou sometime soon for my reports to policing agencies and authorities. I managed to procure the hack as to how to hunt someone down or find classified personal information such as real names, phone numbers, and addresses of everyday citizens and government employees. Then I used that to look up the top 100 list on America's Most Wanted. However, I was then met with a picture of John Walsh performing fallacio on someone else. So, I might be cheated out of that reward money as their executive teams are all a bunch of rude evil midget cocksuckers.
I have yet to link it to a bank account and have credit/cash resource.
Would you trade real estate?
I understand I am still the owner of 510 W. Funston, 67213. It's a 1/2 bedroom 3/4 bath 680 sqft house on I think 1/8th of an acre, Im not sure the lawn size: it's three city lots.
While kidnapped: my niece and mother used it as a squat to prostitute themselves and be right proper little heathen whores. It's always been in a sketchy neighborhood that is always quick to report prostitution and sodomy. However my mother being the gunpowder industry was able to dodge authorities.
Would I be able to get my drivers license reinstated through the dealership? Perhaps a temp license or would I require someone to pick me up?
You know, and get a hard copy of it once I am in Colorado?
I've been having to take a crap behind a tree and on the Amidon Bridge, which identity theives working for and with government seemed to have built with our identities: while slave driving corporations and corporate stock and shares that we demanded to be sold out.
Would Elway or any of his fans/employees want my VoIP number? (777-JOHN, Erie Penn)
I would trade it for an internet phone.
Debbie...
Do you know anyone hiring?
Do you know of anywhere I can park a car?
I seem to have found myself on the Gambino market which has been super-inflated. However: IBM having always BEEN on the Gambino Market has superinflated with them, so that has to be sold off too and I would need a cheque for it all.
I can type. However I am sure most people in those parts can too. 
Loveland was where I took my first typing class at the age of 5 or 6. It was discussed to be a felony as we where too young to be trained and it was decidedly slave driving on basis of race and religion to teach children at Jews for Jesus how to type. Especially those under the age of 10.
That reminds me...
AFM technologies exist...
Hoverboards exist...
Everyone who saw the movie "back to the future" in the 1980s maintained that technology most certainly did not exist.
This means everyone is at a loss of everything: and they are bankrupted.
We need them taken to collections, that includes even you Sheriff in Spokane. You may go bankrupt AND resource me over the policing tips given and collected. Turn over your gold, even wedding bands and the electrical boards in your crack pipes. Gasoline does not pay for itself.
Oh...
and a divorce of all identity thieves claiming me.
Remind these people there is no spouse, no children.
Should they continue to bother me, they can always become the doctor prescribed and COURT ORDERED paliperidone.
It was truly a felony of the state of kansas....
for me to be given paliperidone in Douglas County, and for Lyon County to court order me to take it.
Joe Banker...
pay the man.

From Factory to Front Yard Marvels Transporting Iron Gates to New Homes
Imagine the grandeur of a beautifully crafted iron gate, standing tall at the entrance of a new home. While these gates add an element of elegance and security, transporting them from the factory to the front yard is no small feat. In today's post, we'll explore customer stories that highlight successful iron gate deliveries to new homes. We’ll provide insights into overcoming the challenges of heavy gate transport, ensuring safety during shipping, and best practices in logistics. Whether you’re a construction company, logistics manager, or a homeowner planning your dream entrance, this guide is for you.
The Art of Heavy Gate Transport
Heavy gate transport requires meticulous planning and execution. The sheer weight and size of iron gates pose unique challenges that demand specialized equipment and expertise.
Choosing the Right Transport Vehicle
Selecting the appropriate vehicle is crucial for the safe and efficient transport of iron gates. Flatbed trucks are often the go-to choice due to their capacity to handle heavy loads and offer easy access for loading and unloading.
Ensuring Secure Loading
Proper loading techniques are essential to prevent damage during transit. This involves using high-quality straps and padding to secure the gates and minimize movement.
Overcoming Route Challenges
Navigating through narrow urban streets and residential areas can be tricky. Detailed route planning helps avoid obstacles and ensures timely delivery.
Heavy Transport Safety Measures
Safety is paramount when it comes to transporting heavy gates. Implementing robust safety protocols can prevent accidents and ensure smooth operations.
Training for Transport Personnel
Investing in training for drivers and loading crew can significantly enhance safety. This includes teaching proper handling techniques and emergency procedures.
Utilizing Advanced Technology
Modern technology, such as GPS tracking and load sensors, can improve safety by providing real-time data and alerts. These tools help monitor the condition of the cargo and the vehicle's performance.
Regular Equipment Maintenance
Routine checks and maintenance of transport vehicles and equipment are essential. This ensures that everything is in optimal condition, reducing the risk of mechanical failures.
Customer Stories of Successful Deliveries
Real-world examples can offer valuable insights and inspiration. Here are some stories of successful iron gate deliveries to new homes.
The Mountain Retreat
A construction company in Colorado recently completed a project for a luxurious mountain retreat. The challenge was to deliver a massive iron gate through winding mountain roads. By collaborating with experienced logistics professionals and using a detailed route plan, the gate was delivered without a hitch.
Urban Villa in San Francisco
Delivering an iron gate to a villa in San Francisco's crowded streets posed significant challenges. The team overcame these by choosing a night-time delivery slot to avoid traffic and using a smaller, maneuverable truck for the final leg of the journey.
Coastal Mansion in Florida
A logistics company successfully transported an intricate iron gate to a coastal mansion in Florida. The key to their success was meticulous planning, including accounting for coastal weather conditions and ensuring the gate was well-protected against saltwater exposure during transit.
Iron Gate Shipping Essentials
When it comes to iron gate shipping, attention to detail can make all the difference. Here are some essentials to consider.
Packaging and Protection
Proper packaging is critical to protect the gate from scratches and dents. Using custom crates and padding can ensure the gate arrives in perfect condition.
Coordinating with Manufacturers
Close coordination with gate manufacturers can streamline the shipping process. This includes confirming dimensions, weights, and any special handling requirements.
Scheduling and Timing
Timing is crucial in logistics. Coordinating with homeowners and construction teams ensures that the gate arrives exactly when needed.
Logistics Best Practices
Adopting best practices in logistics can enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Comprehensive Route Planning
Detailed route planning can prevent delays and reduce costs. This includes accounting for traffic patterns, road conditions, and any potential obstacles.
Effective Communication
Maintaining clear and consistent communication with all stakeholders is vital. This includes regular updates to homeowners, construction teams, and logistics personnel.
Continuous Improvement
Regularly reviewing and refining logistics processes can lead to continuous improvement. This involves analyzing previous deliveries, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing changes.
Challenges in Residential Delivery
Residential delivery poses unique challenges that require innovative solutions.
Navigating Narrow Streets
Urban areas often have narrow streets that can be difficult for large trucks to maneuver. Using smaller vehicles for the final delivery leg can overcome this challenge.
Dealing with Unforeseen Obstacles
Unexpected obstacles, such as parked cars or construction work, can disrupt delivery schedules. Having contingency plans in place can help mitigate these issues.
Ensuring Minimal Disturbance
Delivering heavy gates can be noisy and disruptive. Scheduling deliveries at times that minimize disturbance to residents is essential.
Urban Logistics Strategies
Urban logistics strategies can enhance the efficiency of deliveries in bustling city environments.
Using Local Warehouses
Storing gates in local warehouses can reduce delivery times and improve flexibility. This allows for quicker responses to last-minute changes or requests.
Leveraging Technology
Utilizing advanced logistics software can optimize route planning and inventory management. This leads to more efficient and reliable deliveries.
Collaborating with Local Partners
Partnering with local logistics providers can offer valuable insights and resources. They can assist with navigating local regulations and understanding the unique challenges of the area.
Trucking to Residential Areas
Trucking to residential areas requires careful planning and execution.
Selecting the Right Truck
Choosing a truck that can handle both the weight of the gate and the constraints of residential streets is crucial. Smaller, more maneuverable trucks are often ideal for this purpose.
Planning for Special Permits
In some areas, special permits may be required for heavy or oversized loads. Ensuring all necessary permits are obtained in advance can prevent delays.
Coordinating with Residents
Informing residents of the delivery schedule can help minimize disruptions and ensure smooth operations.
Ensuring Successful Deliveries Every Time
Consistency is key to building a reputation for reliable deliveries.
Adhering to Timelines
Sticking to agreed-upon timelines builds trust with clients and ensures smooth project progression. Flexibility to adapt to changes without compromising deadlines is also important.
Maintaining High Quality
Ensuring that the gates are delivered in perfect condition is non-negotiable. This involves thorough inspections before and after transport.
Building Relationships
Building strong relationships with clients, partners, and suppliers can lead to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth referrals.
Transporting iron gates to new homes is a complex and challenging task. However, with careful planning, robust safety measures, and effective logistics strategies, it can be done successfully. By learning from real-world examples and adopting best practices, businesses can enhance their efficiency and customer satisfaction. Whether you’re a construction company, logistics professional, or homeowner, understanding the intricacies of iron gate deliveries can help you achieve seamless and successful outcomes.

How Colorado Cowboys and Conservationists Joined Forces to Stop Drilling. (New York Times)
Excerpt from this New York Times story:
The drilling leases in a pristine corner of Colorado seemed like a done deal. But then an unlikely alliance of cowboys and environmentalists emerged. And things changed.
The members of the group — a self-described ragtag organization that included ranchers, cyclists and snowmobilers — had little in common aside from a desire to protect the expanse, almost a quarter-million acres of public land known as the Thompson Divide. But they ultimately developed a novel legal strategy that helped win a 20-year pause on new oil and gas development across the area.
That strategy could serve as a model for future conservation efforts.
“It’s an incredible story of how it all came together,” said Zane Kessler, the founding executive director of the group, the Thompson Divide Coalition.
The area, in west-central Colorado, overlaps with part of the White River National Forest, one of the most visited national forests in the United States. The Thompson Divide is also home to endangered lynxes and to one of the expansive organisms in the world: the state’s largest Aspen stand, a colony of trees connected by a lateral root system.
The Bush administration started issuing oil and gas leases in the area in the early 2000s in an effort to expand production on public lands. Roughly 80 leases were issued on the Thompson Divide, with dozens more in adjacent parcels of land.
“It happened incredibly quickly,” said Peter Hart, who led the coalition’s legal team. “And it happened at a time when it was the beginning of people developing skills and knowledge to engage in these processes and actually push back.”
Mr. Hart and his colleagues sensed broad opposition to oil and gas development in the area from a diverse range of interest groups, including farmers who wanted to protect grazing land and conservationists concerned about preserving pristine forests and alpine meadows.
With that in mind, they set out in search of a new legal approach.
The coalition gained momentum, appearing at public meetings to provide comments and even staging an impromptu tractor parade down Main Street in Carbondale. “There was lots of local opposition and fear,” Mr. Hart said. “And in that fear was an opportunity for us to unify against what everybody perceived as the greatest threat to this landscape.”
The technology that had driven the oil and gas boom, fracking, was also a source of weakness in the leases. According to Mr. Hart and his team, the administration had failed to properly analyze and account for the technology in the required environmental review process.
Legal questions about the leases led to administrative challenges, which eventually sent one leaseholder to federal court against the Bureau of Land Management.
Initially, conservationists had intended to sue the government, contending that some of the leases were invalid because of noncompliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. But the work that exposed the legal and administrative problems with the leases had effectively flipped the script: The leaseholders who had declined to sell were now eyeing the exits in light of potential legal complications and public discontent around drilling.

ILC 2024
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Express Employment Professionals International Leadership Conference in Denver, Colorado. The experience was nothing short of phenomenal and it was an amazing way to end out Q1. Beyond being a new city for me, Denver was a cool place to visit and the weather was amazing but the altitude is something to account for when flying in. Luckily I didn't pass out or projectile vomit anywhere, maybe it's all my Planet Fitness sessions paying off for me.
There were over 1500 people in attendance for the conference, made up of franchisee's (owners), office managers, Express's executive team and a packed roster of guest speakers. For those who don't know, Express is a global professional staffing agency that specializes in light industrial, professional, office services and direct hire employment. They are the premier staffing agency for virtually any client's need. Over the course of three and a half days, participants heard from the likes of Deion Sanders, Goldie Hawn, Chris Barton and Jess Wedell. Furthermore, two of the days included learning sessions that delved into a variety of topics, from sales tactics to leadership coaching.
The opportunity is truly something I am looking forward to attending again next year. The networking was unparalleled to anything I have experienced since graduating college and I was able to take away detailed pieces of wisdom both professionally and personally to build on.
Before ending this post, I want to write about something Deion Sanders spoke about during one of the general sessions in Denver. I have been following Coach Prime ever since he started at CU and hearing him speak was easily the highlight of the event for me. Coach Prime talked about "finding your rabbit", which is the thing in your life that is just out in front of you that you can't quite reach but motivates you to get after it every single day. For Coach Prime, it is his Mom. What is it for you ?
As the quarter comes to a close, take time to reflect on all that occurred these first three months. Use that time to adjust, pivot or maybe even double down on what worked for you. Keeping your "rabbit" in front of you, as Coach Prime talked about in Denver, will allow you to push past all the noise and distractions in your life to conquer what you set out to. Coach asked the question to us, "How can you expect greatness without consistency ?".
Proverbs 14:23 sums up my point perfectly and what I believe Deion's ultimate statement was with the rabbit analogy. Get after it, enjoy the journey but most importantly stay consistent and let everything else work itself out.
In Unity,
DaJuan

How not to deny something
Rep Lauren Boebert and her ex-husband Jayson Boebert had minor domestic dispute at a restaurant on Saturday in Silt, Colorado.
In a statement to The Denver Post from her campaign manager, Boebert said, “This is a sad situation for all that keeps escalating and another reason I’m moving. I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested.”
I think I would have said
Jayson and I were married for 18 years. We have been blessed with four sons and one grandchild. When a marriage like this must end, it's not surprising that emotions run high. Neither of us was arrested. Neither of us was cited by police. Neither of us wants the other prosecuted. Mostly, we want to resolve our differences amicably and privately.
Rep Boebert is a lightning rod for every leftist and elitist in the country. If you drink beer, you probably like her. If you can imagine saying "what a delightful chablis," you probably hate her. Either way, the Denver Post and papers like it have been fervently praying for her to lose an election.

Helpful advice from BB
9 Hilarious Pranks To Pull On The FBI Agents Tapped Into Your Phone Line
Try a few of these classic pranks the next time you're on the phone:
Say the school board protest has been moved somewhere else: When the FBI sends a whole SWAT team to the wrong location, they'll look SO STUPID! HA!
Mess with their heads by saying "Trump is an insurrectionist dictator" alongside "Trump is our savior": They won't know whose side you're on.
Say "Hey, FBI agent, is your refrigerator running?": When they answer "Yes," then say "Well, you better go catch it!" then hang up and laugh. GOT 'EM!
Identify yourself as Hunter Biden and pretend you're ordering a Ukrainian hooker: They'll hang up faster than you can say "bribery scam."
Sing a few bars of a Beatles song every few minutes so they can't play the recording in court: Licensing fees cost a fortune.
Create a fake accomplice named "Mike Rotch": They'll have to officially enter it into court records and it'll be read out loud. It'll be hilarious.
Say "Hey, are those some catholic nuns over there across the street praying at the abortion clinic? Why, I do believe they are!": Then sit back and watch those guys go crazy falling over themselves to go tackle some old ladies.
Call anyone on January 6th and say "The plan is a go. Execute Operation MAGA.": This one is a lot of fun, but you may end up in solitary for a few decades.
Say "asphinchtersayswhat": What?
If you're going to be under federal surveillance, you might as well get a few laughs out of it along the way. Have fun!

Drugs are cool!
COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WXIX) - A 16-year-old student was arrested after police say he assaulted his teacher. A few minutes after 2:15 p.m. Thursday, Colerain Township police said school resource officers were notified that a teacher was assaulted by her teen student inside a Colerain High School classroom. An initial investigation led officers to find out the student “ingested an unknown drug” before becoming “distraught,” Colerain Township police wrote in their report. The 16-year-old then assaulted the teacher and a classmate before running out of the classroom, police explained. The teacher was punched “multiple times in the head,” according to the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office. The teacher was taken by EMS to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. At the hospital, the prosecutor’s office said the teacher had her skull cap removed to prevent damage from swelling. The Cleveland Clinic describes this as a “major brain surgery.” Family members tell FOX19 NOW she has yet to wake up. Responding officers later found the 16-year-old student in the school’s career center lobby, the police report states. The student appeared to be hallucinating and had a self-inflicted head injury**** https://www.fox19.com/2024/01/05/colerain-hs-student-arrested-after-teacher-assaulted-classroom/

There's trashy, and then there's
A Missouri teacher has been charged with statutory rape for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student while other students served as “lookouts” — with the boy’s father also facing a felony charge for condoning the disturbing relationship. Laquey High School math teacher Hailey Clifton-Carmack, 26, was arrested in Garden Ridge, Texas, on Friday after she “was suspected of fleeing the State of Missouri” to avoid arrest warrants, according to law enforcement. Allegations of the sex crimes committed by Clifton-Carmack first arose on Dec. 7, 2023.*** Clifton-Carmack — a recently divorced mother of two — would often wear “tight or low-cut shirts” to show off her “headlights” and “tight leggings that ‘showed off her camel toe,’” according to court documents.  The witness told investigators the victim was the reason “her divorce was pushed through” and that “Hailey had wanted a divorce due to her husband only wanting to ‘do butt stuff,'” the court document revealed.*** In a shocking twist, new charges have been brought against the boy’s father, who allegedly revealed to others that he was aware of his son’s illicit relationship with the teacher. Mark Creighton was arrested on Thursday on charges of endangering the welfare of a child. On Wednesday, a second witness revealed they told the teen’s father of the alleged wrongdoings, to which he replied he was aware Clifton-Carmack and his 16-year-old son were in a “sexual relationship,” according to court documents.*** The father also allegedly shared he knew that his son and the math teacher used other students as “lookouts” to have sex during school hours. Creighton “knew of the relationship of his minor child and the 26-year-old teacher, and instead of reporting the information, he continued to cover for them and allowed the relationship to continue” and “even allowed Hailey to come over to his residence and see the victim while he was present,” according to prosecutors.*** https://nypost.com/2024/01/09/news/missouri-teacher-slapped-with-rape-charges-after-having-sex-with-teen-while-using-other-students-as-lookouts-boys-dad-busted-for-allowing-relationship-docs/

Canada rocks!
Tumblr media
https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/military-police-threaten-to-charge-sex-worker-who-offers-discounts-to-canadian-soldiers
Military police are threatening to charge a sex worker who offers discounts to Canadian soldiers and senior leaders are warning troops to stay away from the Kingston-area woman. But such efforts have backfired and sex worker Christina Lea Gilchrist tells this newspaper that she is being inundated with messages from military personnel interested in the services she provides. The selling of sex in Canada is legal but military police allege Gilchrist broke the law with the “unlawful use of military uniforms,” according to police documents. “Upon review of your website, it was noticed that you were not only advertising your services wearing a military uniform which is a controlled piece of clothing, but also displaying other parties engaging in sexual acts while also in uniform,” military police stated in a message sent to Gilchrist on Dec. 18. But Gilchrist, who offers discounts to Canadian Forces personnel, pointed out she has repeatedly stated in her advertising that she is not nor has never been a member of any military. “I’ve never walked around in public pretending to be a soldier,” she explained. “People in movies dressed up as soldiers aren’t impersonating soldiers, so why do (military police) think that I am?”***
To be fair, we generally don't let private entities use our uniforms in advertising. If you look at the NFCU commercial with two Marines chasing a card thief, their name and service tapes are blurred.

United States and California Announce Diesel Engine Manufacturer Cummins Inc. Agrees to Pay a Record $1.675 Billion Civil Penalty in Vehicle Test Cheating Settlement
The Justice Department, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), California Air Resources Board (CARB) and California Attorney General’s Office today released the details of a proposed settlement with diesel engine maker Cummins Inc. for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act and California law. Beyond agreeing to pay a $1.675 billion civil penalty – the largest ever assessed in a Clean Air Act case – Cummins has agreed to spend more than $325 million to remedy the violations, which included the use of software “defeat devices” that circumvented emissions testing and certification requirements. Under the settlement, Cummins must complete a nationwide vehicle recall to repair and replace the engine control software in more than 600,000 RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 pickup trucks equipped with the company’s diesel engines. Cummins will also extend the warranty period for certain parts in the repaired vehicles, fund and perform projects to mitigate excess ozone-creating nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from the vehicles and employ new internal procedures designed to prevent future emissions cheating. In total, the settlement is valued at more than $2 billion.*** “Cummins installed illegal defeat devices on more than 600,000 RAM pickup trucks, which exposed overburdened communities across America to harmful air pollution,” said Assistant Administrator David M. Uhlmann of EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. “This record-breaking Clean Air Act penalty demonstrates that EPA is committed to holding polluters accountable and ensuring that companies pay a steep price when they break the law.” *** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/united-states-and-california-announce-diesel-engine-manufacturer-cummins-inc-agrees-pay

Other people get flattened, but Ray gets straight probation?
An Arizona man at the center of the Capitol attack’s most persistent conspiracy theories was sentenced Tuesday to a year of probation for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.  Ray Epps, 62, pleaded guilty in September to one count as part of a deal with Justice Department prosecutors. He admitted to engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds after storming the Capitol.*** Epps was also ordered Tuesday to pay $500 in restitution and to serve 100 hours of community service.  Prosecutors requested six months in prison for Epps, who they said engaged in a “rugby scrum-like group effort” to shove past police officers.*** https://thehill.com/homenews/4397624-ray-epps-jan-6-conspiracy-theories-sentenced/
Is it still a theory if he receives the lightest sentence so far? https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/media/1331746/dl?inline looks like only one other defendant received only a year probation, Eliel Rosa. Some people, e.g., Christopher Worrell, received 10 years in prison.

Buy an air conditioner with an eternal warranty
A former Oregon Department of Human Services employee, Zakary Glover, 30, pleaded guilty [Jan. 9, 2023] to violating the civil rights of a woman with developmental disabilities who was in his care by engaging in sexual misconduct with her.*** Glover worked as a direct support crisis specialist for the Office of Developmental Disabilities Stabilization and Crisis Unit. On Nov. 2, 2021, Glover transported an adult woman in his care to an outing in Salem, Oregon. The victim suffers from severe autism and epilepsy, cognitive delays and very limited verbal ability. Staff members responsible for her care communicate by showing her picture books, displaying YouTube videos or drawing pictures. During the outing, Glover detoured down a dead-end road in Aumsville, Oregon. Glover parked the van and then, using force, attempted to and did cause the victim to engage in a sexual act without her consent. After doing so, Glover forcefully grabbed her and then positioned his body in a way that allowed him to attempt to force her into another non-consensual sexual act. Glover admitted that the victim did not consent to any of the sexual activity. Among other offenses, his conduct constituted attempted aggravated sexual abuse. A sentencing hearing is set for April 30. *** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-oregon-state-employee-pleads-guilty-federal-civil-rights-charges-after-violating

Desmone Team Selected to Assist with Downtown Wheeling Lot
Tumblr media
Visit Wheeling, WV, in conjunction with Wheeling Heritage, The City of Wheeling, Ohio County, and The Regional Economic Development Partnership have recently completed interviews with Vridian, Desmone Architects and the Mills Group for the Wheeling Gateway Center’s Architecture, Engineering and Site Technical Diligence RFP.  Members from each of these organizations evaluated each team on their overall project methodology, proposed key milestones, schedule, communication plan, and overall capacity to lead the design, engineering, and site development of the region’s transformative Wheeling Gateway Center project.  Each stakeholder provided their own scores on each of the categories, and in the end, the Morgantown-based architectural team of Desmone received the highest score, followed by Mills Group, and then Vridian.  The procurement process followed the State of West Virginia’s 5G guidelines, which means that the Desmone team will enter into contract negotiations to complete the work.    “The caliber of each project team was truly impressive, and all three teams presented very compelling solutions and methodologies to help our region complete this transformative project,” said Frank O’Brien, Executive Director of the Convention Visitors Bureau. O’Brien added, “The Desmone team proposed a project manager that led the Pike’s Peak Visitor’s Center, which is 14,000 feet in altitude, and nationally-recognized as one of the most visited mountains in Colorado.  With tourism as one of the primary cornerstone’s of our mission, we are excited to bring insights and lessons learned from Colorado’s tourism strategies into our project.  We intend to make the State’s first visitor experience in the northern part of West Virginia one of the greatest success stories.” The project is set to redefine the City of Wheeling’s primary entrance from the I-70 corridor, situated next to the iconic and historic Wheeling Suspension Bridge, and bolster economic growth through tourism in the Northern West Virginia panhandle. Now that a project team has been identified, the top priority of the design and engineering teams will be to do the necessary site technical diligence work, which will drive the logistics of the environmental remediation and demolition plan.  Furthermore, this information will also inform the ultimate location and building footprint of the new Visitor’s and Heritage center, along with connectivity to the Ohio River waterfront and Heritage Trail.  “As a designated National Heritage area, and Wheeling as the birthplace of West Virginia, the fusion of a heritage experience into the visitor’s center is crucial,” said Scott Schenerlein, executive director of Wheeling Heritage.  “The Desmone project team demonstrated a breadth of experience in establishing visitor’s experiences and important complimentary revenue-generating uses for nationally-recognized places like the Andy Warhol Museum, the Heinz History Center, and the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum.”  The RFP for Architecture, Engineering, and Site Technical Diligence was released on August 23. Six proposals were received, with three finalists announced on September 30.  The procurement process was led by Tipping Point, which was hired by the Wheeling National Heritage Area Foundation in July.   Once a design and engineering contract is established, the project team will facilitate community meetings to inform additional experiences that locals would like to have on the site beyond the Visitor’s and Heritage center.  Long term financial sustainability is a top priority for all of the regional stakeholders involved, and other potential uses identified by community members will be extremely important.  “We really appreciated the innovative and technology-driven strategies that Vridian brought, and hope to have an opportunity to work with them on something else in the future,” said Jim Ambrose, President of Tipping Point. Ambrose added, “The local experience of Mills Group was pretty impressive, and Mills Group has many projects underway throughout West Virginia.  We hope to also expand our relationship with Mills on future economic development projects throughout the state of West Virginia.  An additional request for proposal for demolition and remediation contractors will also be released at a later date, which will focus on the expedient and safe removal of the Wheeling Inn structure.  Further information regarding future proposal requests can be accessed on the Convention Visitor’s Bureau website at https://wheelingcvb.com/blog/ and Tipping Point’s website https://www.tippingpointdev.com/blog for future project updates.
