It can't be worn and it can't be sanders.
It has to be someone centrist and someone who can win.
That is what an unnamed CEO from a giant bank here in the United States.
The bank was also a name that is what they had to say recently.
Can't be worn and it can't be.
Bernie got to be a centrist.
Here's what's happening on Wall Street and in business rooms all across this country
right now.
The wealthy elite are freaking out.
They're freaking out because as of right now, they have nobody to turn to.
They have nobody to coddle them.
Nobody to give them everything they have ever wanted, which pretty much they already have
because here's the problem and this is what they're ready to admit.
They like Donald Trump, they liked the tax cuts they've got.
They love the deregulation so they can just get away with whatever, but he's completely
unpredictable and his temper tantrums have caused the market to go down and back up and
then way down and then slightly back up.
His government shut down, just cost the economy.
$11,000,000,000.
They're tired of it.
In spite of the tax cuts, they're sometimes losing money over this guy.
Businesses as a result of the trade wars are losing money and they're sick and tired of
it so they don't want Trump anymore, but then on the other side, oh, that's the scary part
for them because if you don't back Trump, who are you going to back?
Well, it can't be worn and it can't be Bernie because those guys, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie
Sanders and a whole crop, other Democratic candidates, they actually want to increase
regulation because they understand that that's how we protect American consumers.
They want to raise taxes on people making more than $10,000,000 a year or $500, million
dollars a year or more than a billion dollars a year.
Elizabeth Warren has done a phenomenal job of actually releasing her plan on how she
would do that.
Representative of Kazuyo Cortez is out here talking about a 70 percent marginal tax rate.
That's freaking the hell out of wall streeters.
They have nowhere to go.
They don't know who to back.
In fact, according to a recent article in politico, they're actually praying that Mike
Bloomberg, a centrist who's going to push for deregulation tax cuts, you know, no real
changes for the business world, no oversight.
They want him to run because he's also not volatile enough like Donald Trump to just
tank the stock market with a single tweet.
Will Bloomberg's not going to do that?
Maybe they'll back this schultes guy, the founder of starbucks, but who knows, but right
now wall streeters are terrified because they've got nobody to protect him at the moment.
But here's the thing, they're kind of feeling the squeeze right now and that's good because
that's the same squeeze that they have put on the American public for decades.
You know, when they had those accidental foreclosures that they ended up blaming on a computer glitch,
but people still lost their homes and they didn't give a damn.
You know, when they took our investments are are our pensions mom and pop investments savings.
They've been saving up their entire lives and decided to gamble it them all away.
That led to the meltdown in 2007, 2008.
Those people never made whole again.
Never got their money back, will now be working until they die with those ceos are doing great.
They are making more money than ever and they don't want that to change.
They don't want to be held accountable, but they have squeezed the life out of too many
people in this country.
So if they're running around terrified because either Trump's going to tank, the market or
Democrats are going to tax them more than I say, hell yeah, and to be perfectly honest
with you, this quote that I started with, it can't be worn and it can't be Bernie.
To me that says that it has to be worn or it has to be Bernie, one of those two because
according to the bankers themselves, those are the only two candidates right now that
are actually going to hold them accountable for their constant and rampant and disgusting
corruption.

These military families say public schools aren't supporting their special-needs kids - Duration: 7:20.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Navigating a school system can be challenging for any parent with a child
who has special needs, but, for military families, that stress is compounded by their lifestyle
of repeated moves and attending different schools that offer varying levels of services.
In her second report focusing on military kids, special correspondent Kavitha Cardoza,
with our partner Education Week, reports from Virginia Beach, Virginia, where a third of
children in need of special education services can fall through the cracks.
It's part of our education series, Making the Grade.
CAPT.
CASSIDY NORMAN, U.S. Navy: Have a good day.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: After years of military moves, Navy Captain Cassidy Norman was posted to
Virginia Beach.
CAPT.
CASSIDY NORMAN: Bye-bye.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: The Normans had lived here before, and their daughter loved her former
school; 14-year-old Marisa has several disabilities, including cerebral palsy, severe anxiety,
poor eyesight and hearing.
CAPT.
CASSIDY NORMAN: So, her disabilities are all compounded in the classroom.
It's difficult for her to listen and learn and write all at the same time.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: Marisa needs one-on-one help and therapies, but she has normal intelligence,
which means, with patience and educational accommodations, she can learn just like any
of her classmates.
Virginia Beach is surrounded by bases and the economy is closely tied to the military.
Its schools have several programs to support military kids.
But several service members say the district is not meeting the needs of their children
with disabilities.
Eileen Huck with the National Military Family Association says obtaining special education
services is a significant challenge for service members nationwide.
EILEEN HUCK, National Military Family Association: So often, I hear from families who had things
set at their previous location, and then they had to move, and then they feel as though
they're starting from scratch.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: The military does consider a child's medical and educational needs during
assignments.
EILEEN HUCK: But there is less attention paid to the special education services, because
federal law says that all school districts are required to provide a free and appropriate
public education.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: All children with special needs in every public school district are
entitled to an evaluation and individualized plan, detailing the supports they will receive.
But when Marisa returned to the Virginia Beach district, her parents noticed right away something
was wrong.
CAPT.
CASSIDY NORMAN: We weren't getting progress reports.
They kept taking away services and goals from her and from her education plan.
MICHELLE NORMAN, Military Mother and Spouse: It was very frustrating.
CAPT.
CASSIDY NORMAN: And, at the same time, they would give her honor roll and student of the
month every once in a while, but all of this time, she was stagnating, and in some areas
regressing.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: Cassidy was away on training, and was then deployed to the Middle East.
Still, he would call into meetings about Marisa, which he said school officials often postponed
or canceled.
More than a year passed, and nothing significant changed.
The Normans moved Marisa to a private school.
They also hired a lawyer.
MICHELLE NORMAN: And I was so depressed.
I wasn't myself.
I was crying all the time.
I had to go see a therapist.
And Cass was so worried about me, he had to send the base chaplain to come -- come speak
to me.
CAPT.
CASSIDY NORMAN: During this case, I was responsible for the health and welfare for 3,000 sailors,
plus 2,000 additional deployers on our ship.
And even though that was stressful, it was more stressful for me to think about my daughter,
who wasn't being taken care of by the public school here.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: Aaron Spence is superintendent of Virginia Beach City Public Schools.
AARON SPENCE, Superintendent, Virginia Beach City Public School District: Well, I want
to be clear we actually do a great job with our special education program in Virginia
Beach.
And, on rare occasion, we have some disagreements and differences with our families.
Fortunately, we have a great system for working through that.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: Some military families here disagree.
Bryn Bennett, Adriana Rodriguez and Sydney Jillson all have children with special needs.
BRYN BENNETT, Military Mother and Spouse: A few weeks after my husband left for deployment,
my son was having some sort of breakdown in the classroom.
They couldn't get him to calm down.
And I got there, and they had the chairs kind of lined up.
It was almost like he was a caged animal.
SYDNEY JILLSON, Military Mother and Spouse: To watch the people that I know are supposed
to be on his side, the ones that are supposed to be helping him, and to see them pushing
his buttons and upsetting him to such lengths was upsetting.
ADRIANA RODRIGUEZ, Military Mother and Spouse: They didn't listen to a word we had to say.
They didn't listen to a word his doctors had to say.
They didn't offer any supports.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: The district wouldn't comment on any of the cases, saying it would be "inappropriate
because we remain in litigation and due process with many of these families."
But in a written statement, a spokesperson said: "The school district is committed to
providing the best learning environment possible for all children.
We have nationally recognized partnerships with our local installations and are acknowledged
as a premier provider of services in the military community."
But in one complaint, which included military families, investigators found Virginia Beach
schools were offering only the bare minimum in services, which translated into a deficient
education.
Advocate Eileen Huck says there are school districts that just wait it out.
EILEEN HUCK: It's unfortunate, but I think it's sometimes true, that school districts
will be hesitant to provide a new service or a new resource to a family that they know
is going to be moving out of the district in a year or two.
MAN: We're not activists.
We're not looking for a fight.
We're looking for a good community.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: It is rare for a family to file a formal complaint, and even more rare
for them to win.
But a Virginia Department of Education investigation found the school district had not provided
the minimum education required by law for Marisa.
The school district appealed.
The Normans won again in federal court, and Virginia Beach was ordered to pay for her
private school.
Marisa had to repeat a grade in her new school, but now she's doing well.
CAPT.
CASSIDY NORMAN: She plays on the volleyball team.
MICHELLE NORMAN: She's making friends.
She's learning.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: Providing special education services can be expensive for school districts,
but, as the Normans say, it's federal law.
They say Virginia Beach schools have already spent more than $300,000 just on their case.
The Normans say they hear from many other military families.
CAPT.
CASSIDY NORMAN: And very few, if any, are able to afford a lawyer.
It's been depressing to see all the families that cannot fight the fight that we are fighting,
and all the families that have given up or that are afraid of retribution and will not
speak out.
KAVITHA CARDOZA: Virginia Beach School District recently stopped paying for Marisa's private
school, and is appealing the verdict, which means another long court case that Michelle
will have to deal with on her own, because Cassidy Norman has just received transfer
orders for a 15-month posting on a ship based in Italy.
For the "PBS NewsHour" and Education Week, I'm Kavitha Cardoza in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Private and Public sectors join to open the Blockchain Center Shanghai - Duration: 2:05.
With purple and aqua neon lights the new Blockchain Center in Shanghai looks more
like a trendy bar than a hub for Chinese spin Tech. But Blockchain Global
founder Sam Lee is hoping this tech space will support to local blockchain
startups in China and facilitate trade in Australia.
So Sam, we're here at the opening of the Blockchain Centere Shanghai, its a momentous occasion.
How do you feel?
This is a big milestone for the true democratisation of trust,
and with the Blockchain Center we'll bring the public-private sector together to create dialogue
that will move this industry forward.
Like many regulators around the world, China's government is exploring
the payment applications of blockchain technologies while the Chinese
government has cracked down on ICOs this doesn't mean it wants to stifle
investment in the technology all together
We see that China being a strategic play for the technology as to where to next
We see blockchain as a technology that is relevant to everyone in the world and therefore there should
be a Blockchain Center in every major city
and as you can see the ambassador of Indonesia attended along with the
consulates from five different other embassies as well and the Indonesian
ambassador has announced that we will be creating
a blockchain center in Jakarta and a blockchain conference in Bali
Chinese authorities see value in the ability to gain more detailed oversight
and monitoring around transactions, the country also sees the technology as a
way of ending the global dominance of the US dollar.
It will allow for the growth of trust and transparency that we hope to not only consume China but spread
to the rest of the world.
At the end of the day, China might not be Bitcoins biggest fan, but it certainly loves Blockchain.

HAVE THIS BILL REFERRED TO THE WAYS AND MEANS WITH A RECOMMENDATION
TO BE REFERRED TO THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IS A MOTION >>
REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON: I'M NOT A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE ON MUCH I CAN MAKE A MOTION I
THINK REPRESENTATIVE TRAN 11 MAKE
A MOTION >> CHAIR MARIANI: YOU
ARE RIGHT. >> REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON: I WISH I WAS A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE >> CHAIR MARIANI: I
THINK REPRESENTATIVE URDAHL MIGHT HAVE
EMOTIONS BELONG YES OR COULD I MOVE HOUSE FILE 15 BE REFERRED TO WAYS AND MEANS WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO REFERRAL TO
JUDICIARY DIVISION AND I WOULD NOTE OUR ON REMEMBER STEVENS
IS ABOUT OREOS
BEFORE US >>
REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON: MR. CHAIR MY FIRST APPEARANCE BEFORE YOUR
COMMITTEE AND HONORING THE TRADITIONS OF THE GREAT BUT I DO BRING
AREAS TO I WOULD NOTE TO PRESENT ANOTHER BILL THIS AFTERNOON TO THE COMMERCE COMMITTEE OR SOME SO I'VE ASKED ALL
THE FOLLOWING REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES WOULD BE CONSERVATIVE IN YOUR TAKING OF
THE OREOS.
>> CHAIR
MARIANI: REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON
WERE GLAD THIS COMMITTEE GETS
FIRST DIBS. PLEASE PROCEED >> REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON:
MR. CHAIR MEMBERS THE COMMITTEE ALSO WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR FOR HAVING
ADVOCATES PRESENT IN THE COMMITTEE HEARING ROOM TODAY BUT I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT CONVERSATION AND ALSO
JUST WANT PEOPLE IN A GALLERY PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING
AWARE THAT
THE COMMENTS I WILL MAKE IN
THE COMMENTS OF TESTIFIERS WILL MAKE ON THIS BILL WILL
BE DIRECT AND IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR SOME PEOPLE TO HEAR AND
I PARTICULARLY TO KNOW THERE
ARE SOME YOUNGER PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE HERE. I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO BE AWARE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A REALLY DIRECT
CONVERSATION HERE. SO HAVING SAID THAT; I
WILL PROCEED. MR. CHAIR; MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE; UNDER EXISTING MINNESOTA LAW IF
A MAN [INAUDIBLE] HIS WIFE
AND RAPES HER WHILE SHE IS UNCONSCIOUS; HE CANNOT BE PROSECUTED FOR RAPE IN MINNESOTA. WE LIKE TO
THINK OF MARITAL RAPE
EXCEPTIONS AS AN ARTIFACT
OF HISTORY; AS A RELIC OF A TIME WHEN A WOMAN WAS CONSIDERED THE PROPERTY OF
HER HUSBAND. BUT WE STILL HAVE A LIMITED
MARITAL RAPE EXCEPTION ON THE BOOKS IN
MINNESOTA TODAY.
THE BILL THAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY; HOUSE FILE 15; WOULD REPEAL
THAT LIMITED MARITAL RAPE EXCEPTION IN
ITS ENTIRETY.
THIS BILL PASSED IN THIS COMMITTEE LAST YEAR. IT
HAS PASSED THE SENATE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE EARLIER
THIS SESSION IN A
SEPARATE BILL. I ALSO WANT TO NOTE THE BILL
IS SUPPORTED
BY BOTH THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION AND
ALSO BY MN CASA WHO YOU WILL BE
HEARING FROM SHORTLY. I WANT TO
POINT OUT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ACADEMIC DISCUSSION ABOUT
A PIECE OF LAW THAT'S ON OUR BOOKS THAT IS A LITTLE AFFECTED.
THIS HAPPENS. THIS LAW HAS AN EFFECT ON OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
TODAY AND
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR PACKETS FOR TODAY; YOU WILL FIND A FISCAL NOTE THAT WAS PREPARED WITH THIS BILL WAS CONSIDERED LAST SESSION AND IF YOU READ THE ANALYSIS FROM THE FISCAL NOTE YOU'LL SEE THE SENTENCING GUIDELINE COMMISSION
ESTIMATED THAT APPEAL OF THIS PROVISION PARTICULARLY AS RELATES TO THE
MENTALLY IMPAIRED MENTALLY INCAPACITATED AND PHYSICALLY
HOPELESS PROVISION IN THE VOLUNTARY
RELATIONSHIP DEFENSE WOULD
RESULT IN
SEVEN ADDITIONAL CONVICTIONS EACH YEAR. SO
THIS EXISTING LANGUAGE IS
PREVENTING JUSTICE FOR AT LEAST SEVEN PEOPLE
A YEAR. I ALSO WANT TO NOTE A RECENT MINNESOTA COURT OF APPEALS DECISION WHI
CH WAS [INAUDIBLE] WHICH CAME OUT ON DECEMBER 31 OF 2018. IN
THAT CASE; A MAN HAD SEX ON
MULTIPLE DATES THE
WOMAN WHO I'M GOING TO QUOTE FROM
THE DECISION ACCORDING TO THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT FUNCTIONS OF THE MENTAL CAPACITY OF A
7-8-YEAR-OLD CHILD. HE WAS CHARGED BY THE BROWN
COUNTY ATTORNEY BUT JUST SIX WEEKS BEFORE TRIAL THE MAN MARRIED
THE VICTIM.
HE MOVED TO HAVE THE TRIAL COURT DISMISSED THE
CASE CITING FOR THE VOLUNTARY
RELATIONSHIP DEFENSE STATUTE AND WAS SUCCESSFUL. THE TRIAL COURT DISMISSED THE CASE.
FORTUNATELY; THE COURT OF APPEALS REVERSED THAT DECISION.
CITING; IN PART; THE
POSSIBILITY THAT
INTERPRETING THE VOLUNTARY
RELATIONSHIP DEFENSE
IS APPLYING TO A MARRIAGE IS A CRANE AFTER
THE FACT WOULD; QUOTE; PERMIT OR EVEN ENCOURAGE AN ACTOR TO MARY IN ORDER TO AVOID
CULPABILITY FOR
CRIMINAL CONDUCT WE VICTIMIZING
THE VICTIM. THE COURT OF APPEALS
WAS WISE TO THINK ABOUT THE INCENTIVES
THAT COULD BE CREATED BY A
BROAD INTERPRETATION OF VOLUNTARY RELATIONSHIP DEFENSE AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COMMITTEE TO THINK ABOUT THE
POSSIBILITY CONSEQUENCES
OF EXISTING VOLUNTARY
RELATIONSHIP DEFENSE. AS AN ASIDE;
THAT COURT OF APPEALS DECISION WAS TO-ONE. SO THERE WAS ONE JUDGE; ONE VOTE AWAY FROM THE COURT UPHOLDING
THE DISMISSAL. YOU HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH OR THE SENTENCING BALANCE COMMISSION WITH THE COURT OF APPEALS TO PLAY WHAT IF
WITH THE COURT OF APPEALS DECISION IN A FEW MINUTES YOU WILL HEAR FROM KENNY KEYS AND LIVE THIS
NIGHTMARE HERSELF.
I CAN RECALL LEARNING IN LAW SCHO
OL ABOUT 17TH-CENTURY ENGLISH
COMMON LAW PRINCIPLE THAT A HUSBAND
COULD NEVER
BE CONVICTED OF RAPING HIS WIFE BECAUSE BY CONSENTING TO MARY; QUOTE;
THE WIFE HAS GIVEN UP HERSELF TO
HER HUSBAND. I'M SURE THAT MANY
OF US
; I HOPE ALL THIS; SITTING HERE TODAY FINALS WERE REPUGNANT AND I THINK
IT'S TIME FOR OUR LAWS TO MATCH
OUR VALUES. SO NOW I WOULD
WITH THE CHAIR'S PERMISSION I'LL TURN
IT OVER
TO LINDSAY [INAUDIBLE] FROM
MN CASA >> CHAIR MARIANI: WELCOME
THIS PRICE
>> TESTIFIER: THANK YOU. MR. CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME OR TO THE NAME OF LINDSAY BRYCE.
I'M THE POLICY DIRECTOR FOR THE MINNESOTA
COALITION OF [INAUDIBLE] YOU PROBABLY MANY OF YOU PROBABLY MET MY
PREDECESSOR CAROLINE WHO HAS BEEN HERE A FAIR AMOUNT. I'VE
WORKED
WITH -- I AM NEWER TO MN CASA BUT I WORKED WITH AN
D FOR AN NEXT TO VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF GENDER VIOLENCE FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND AM ACTUALLY A FORMER PROSECUTOR AS
WELL. MINNESOTA LAW ON SOCIAL
SELF PREVENTS [INAUDIBLE] ON PROGRAMS AND OUR ALLIES
TO PRESENT
[INAUDIBLE] WHILE PROMOTING A CONFERENCE OF
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CHAIR FOR YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT
INCLUSIVITY BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE ARE HAVING IS THAT IT'S
CRUCIAL THAT OUR LAWS WORK FOR
THE MOST MARGINALIZED IN THE MOST
HEAVILY IMPACTED BECAUSE IF THEY WANT FOR
THOSE FOLKS THAN THE WORKING FOR EVERYBODY.
THAT IS JUST CRUCIAL. I'M GOING TO KEEP MY COMMENTS BRIEF TODAY AS YOU WILL BE HEARING
FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN
PERSONALLY IMPACTED BY
THE STATUTE AND BY THE LANGUAGE
IS BUILT WOULD BE REPEALED. BUT I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OBVIOUSLY OF THEIR APPEAL AND
TO
THINK THANK BOTH REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON THE CO-AUTHORS AND MR. CHAIR
FOR ADVANCING THIS CONVERSATION.
THE REPEAL OF
THIS BILL -- THIS IS THE SAME LANGUAGE THAT MN CASA SUPPORTED
LAST YEAR. THIS IS PART OF THE LARGE OMNIBUS BILL AND A PRIORITY FOR MN CASA LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
IN 2019. JUST A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT OUR PROCESS. WE HAVE A PUBLIC
POLICY COMMITTEE AND A NUMBER OF SUBCOMMITTEES THAT
REACH OUT TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PARTNERS AS WE WORK THROUGH WHAT WE ARE GOING
TO SUPPORT AND WHAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE OF MOVING FORWARD. IN
THIS CASE;
WITH CONVERSATIONS WITHIN THE
POLICY COMMITTEE AND WE ACTUALLY; ONE OF
THE CONCERNS IS WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS SOME UNINTENTIONAL
NEGATIVE IMPACT
ON FOLKS WITH DISABILITY. I WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WAS RAISED.
SO WE REACH OUT TO THE LEGAL DIRECTOR
TO MINNESOTA DISABILITY
LAW CENTER AND BROUGHT THEM INTO THE CONVERSATION; AND THEY
ALSO SUPPORTED THE REPEAL
OF THIS AND THANK YOU FOR
BEING CONCERNED.. WE DON'T SEE
ANY CLEAR UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. SO OUR PROCESS IS BOTH MN
CASA AND
[INAUDIBLE] AND PARTNERS AND WE FULLY
SUPPORT THIS. I GIVE YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION IT >> CHAIR MARIANI:

REALLY REMARKABLE THE STRENGTH
AND TENACITY THAT SHE IS BROUGHT THROUGH THIS
ENTIRE PROCESS TO BE SITTING HERE TODAY ENSURING THE STORY JUST REALLY COMMENDABLE. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THIS FOR COMING OUT AND BEING ON THE SPEAK YOU WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE STATE. >> CHAIR MARIANI: WELCOME TO THE COMMITTEE. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENCE WITH US >> TESTIFIER: THANK YOU.
MR. CHAIR; THANK YOU FOR HEARING
HOUSE FILE 15 TODAY IN MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY. SPEEDING
JENNY HAGER
SOON TO BE THISSEN AND I FEEL GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS YOU AND THE ENTIRE COMMITTEE TODAY.
LAST YEAR THIS BILL WAS BROUGHT BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE I WAS SITTING IN THE
ROOM LISTENING.. HOWEVER; I WAS UNABLE TO TESTIFY AS
CRIMINAL CHARGES ARE
STILL PENDING AGAINST MY
FORMER SPOUSE REGARDING HIS ACTION.
SINCE THEN; HE HAS
PUBLICLY ADMITTED THAT HE
DRUGGED ME. HE RAPED TO ME AND HE
VIDEOTAPED IT. IN OUR ANDOVER HOME. IN MARCH
IN OUR ANDOVER HOME. IN MARCH 2016 I DISCOVERED A FLASH DRIVE CONTAINING SEVERAL VIDEOS OF MY FORMER
SPOUSE REPORTING HIS COWORKERS IN
THE PRIVATE STAFF BATHROOM AT HIS PLACE
OF EMPLOYMENT AND TWO ADDITIONAL VIDEOS OF ME IN OUR HOME THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF.
TWO MONTHS AFTER SERVING MY HUSBAND'S
DIVORCE PAPERS PREPARING
MY AFFIDAVIT FOR DIVORCE; I WAS TASKED WITH REVIEWING EVERY PHOTO AND VIDEO
FROM A COPY OF OUR FAMILY
LAPTOP COMPUTER. I CAME ACROSS TWO VIDEOS
THAT FOREVER CHANGED MY LIFE.
THEY WERE THE USE OF
MY HUSBAND WHEN RECORDED IN OUR
BED [INAUDIBLE] 2002ND AT FIRST THE O
STARTS OUT WITH A FULL SCREENSHOT OF
MY REGINA MY FORMER SPOUSE
[INAUDIBLE] INSERTING A SYNTHETIC PENIS IN
MY REGINA FOR SEVERAL SECONDS FOR
MY BODY WEIGHT LIFELESS
HE PAUSES THE FORCEFUL PENETRATION
AND CAREFULLY
CROSS WITH THE COVERS TO REVEAL MY FACE. MY MOUTH IS
WIDE OPEN AND IT IS CLEAR THAT I AM UNCONSCIOUS.
HE STARTS TO MOVE THE CAMERA BACK DOWN TO MY
LOWER BODY AND IN THAT
WIDER SCREENSHOT MY
FOUR-YEAR-OLD SON IS LAYING NEXT TO ME IN BED..
HE CAME BACK AN HOUR LATER AND
STARTED RECORDING A SE
COND TIME. HE PUT NOT ONLY MY LIFE
IN DANGER BUT
POTENTIALLY EXPOSING OUR SON TO
SOMETHING UNTHINKABLE. THE WORST PART OF
THAT DAY WAS MY MOM WAS AT
MY HOUSE WHEN I DISCOVERED THE
RAPE VIDEOS. MY MOM
AND I SAT AND CRIED AS I DISCOVERED I HAVE BEEN DRUGGED AND RAPED BY
MY HUSBAND. NO PARENT
SHOULD EVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE
[INAUDIBLE] COMPLETE
AND OTHER SHAME; DECEPTION;
CONFUSION; DISBELIEF.
IMMEDIATELY; AFTER DISCOVERING
THESE VIDEOS I CALL THE ANOKA COUNTY
SHERIFF DEPARTMENT WAS THE MAIN POINT
OF CONTACT IN THE
ACT OF A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
REGARDING MY FORMER SPOUSE. I
WAS INFORMED THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE FOLLOWING UP WITH ME SOON
TO TAKE MY STATEMENTS. SADLY; THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. IT TOOK OVER
TWO MONTHS OF ME CALLING THE
SHERIFF'S OFFICE
TALKING TO MANY DIFFERENT
PEOPLE BEFORE I WAS FINALLY SCHEDULED TO GIVE
MY STATEMENT. IN SEPTEMBER
IN SEPTEMBER 2017 RECEIVED A CALL FROM A VICTIM WITNESS SPECIALIST THE ANOKA COUNTY
ATTY.'S OFFICE
. SHE CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT MY
FORMER SPOUSE HAVE BEEN FORMALLY CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT FELONY CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT IN THE 3RD°. TO
BE HONEST; I HAVE MIXED EMOTIONS WHEN I HEARD THIS NEWS.
THE STRONGEST EMOTION
I HAD WAS A FEELING OF SENSE OF SAFETY
.. NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT MY
TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN OU
R COMMUNITY. KNOWING THAT JUSTICE WAS GOING TO BE SERVED. LATER
THAT AFTERNOON; JUST AS I WAS ABLE TO A DOWN TO THE BUS STOP TO GET MY KIDS OFF
THE SCHOOL BUS I RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM THAT SAME WOMAN. TO TELL
THE SHAKINESS IN HER VOICE AND SHE CALLED TO INFORM ME
THAT SHE HAD
SOME NEWS SHE SAID SHE WAS AT A LOSS
FOR WORDS. BUT WHAT SHE TOLD ME IT
WAS LIFE-CHANGING.
SHE EXPLAINED THAT MY
FORMER SPOUSES THE ONLY 3RD° CRIMINAL SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE
WAS DROPPED BECAUSE HIS CRIMINAL
DEFENSE ATTORNEY MADE THEM AWARE OF THE COUNTY OF A LAW ON THE MINNESOTA BOOKS THAT STATES A PERSON CANNOT
BE CHARGED WITH
THIS CRIME IF THEY WERE MARRIED AT THE TIME OF
THE CRIME. SHE SAID THE
ENTIRE STAFF OF ATTORNEYS IN
THE OFFICE; THE
JUDGE; SHERIFF; NO ONE KNEW THAT THIS LOT
EVEN EXISTED.. WE WERE
ALL SHOCKED AND SHE SAID; THIS NEEDS TO
BE CHANGED. I WAS DEVASTATED
AND SCARED. BY NIGHT
I STRUGGLED WITH THE NEWS I RECEIVED. I WANT SOME HARRY POTTER WITH MY KIDS BY THE NEXT MORNING I WAS READY TO GO TO WORK TO
MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IN A
SIMILAR SITUATION HEARS; I AM SORRY
; THE CHARGES HAVE
BEEN DROPPED. THE COUNTY WAS ABLE TO CHARGE THIS DEGREE CRIMINAL SEXUAL
CONDUCT AND INVASION OF PRIVACY WHICH IS FINALLY SENTENCED LAST MONTH. MY FORMER SPOUSE
BUT GUILTY
TO ENGAGING INVASION OF PRIVACY AND HOME. WHAT HE DID
TO ME WAS SEXUAL ASSAULT YE
T NOTHING SHOWS ON
HIS RECORD OF THE CRIMES HE COMMITTED
AGAINST ME. HAD HE
BEEN CHARGED WITH A 3RD°; ONE OF THE
REQUIREMENTS WAS REGISTRATION AS A SEX OFFENDER. YET; NOTHING
SHOWS CRIMINAL SEX ON
HIS RECORD. IN AN EXCERPT FROM THE SENTENCING COURT TRANSCRIPT FROM LAST MONTH; ANOKA COUNTY PROSECUTOR ATTORNEY PAUL YOUNG IS QUOTED
AS SAYING; THIS COURT KNOWS THAT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS THAT WERE DONE ON MY FORMER SPOUSE AND
THE RECOMMENDATION
SITE FOUND HIM TO BE A MODERATE TO HIGH RISK
TO REOFFEND. WHAT WAS THE
OTHER OFFENDERS THAT IT'S CONCERNING
GIVEN THAT BEFORE EVEN REACHING
THOSE CONCLUSIONS THIS IS A PERSON THAT HAS BEEN SEX
OFFENDER COUNSELING;; THERAPY;
MARRIAGE COUNSELING; AND IS STILL AT A STAGE AFTER ALL THE TIME A HIGH RISK TO
THE COMMUNITY. SINCE FELONY CHARGES WERE DROPPED BECAUSE WE
WERE MARRIED; BUT ONLY MYSELF BUT OUR COMMUNITY
IS BEING PUT AT RISK FROM
SEXUAL PREDATORS LIKE MY
FORMER SPOUSE. IN CLOSING; I WOULD LIKE TO REDO
AN EXCERPT FROM A VICTIM
IMPACT STATEMENT THAT IN COURT
AT SENTENCING FOR THE INVASION OF PRIVACY LAST MONTH.
IN SEPTEMBER 2017 I FOR SPOUSE
WAS CHARGE WITH HER DEGREE CRIMINAL
SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THOSE CHARGES WERE
DROPPED BECAUSE IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA IF YOU
ARE MARRIED YOU CANNOT BE CHARGED WITH
SEXUAL ASSAULT DEGREES 1-4 EVEN IF YOUR SPOUSE IS INCAPACITATED WITH THE SEXUAL ASSAULT TAKES PLACE.
IN TODAY HE'S ENTERED A PLEA OF 45 DAYS JAIL AND INVASION OF PRIVACY
AT A MINIMUM HE SHOULD HAVE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER
MORE JAIL TIME IS
ALSO WARRANTED. THE STAR TRIBUNE RECENTLY RAN A SERIES TITLE;
JUSTICE DENIED
;; THAT EXAMINES HOW MINNESOTA'S CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
OFTEN FAILS VICTIMS OF RAPE AND
SEXUAL ASSAULT. WITH A PLEA AGREEMENT THAT WAS REACHED
THIS BECOMES ONE MORE STORY OF
A VICTIM THAT HAS BEEN FAILED. I WOULD RATHER BE IN THE VICTIM HEARD JUSTICE
SERVED CATEGORY THANK

GROSSELL >>
REPRESENTATIVE GROSSELL: THANK YOU; MR. CHAIR.
REPRESENTATIVE THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE LEGISLATION
FOUR. AGAIN
IT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE
ONE COMMENT ONE THING THAT REALLY CAUGHT
MY EAR;; VICTIMS HEARD;
VICTIMS SERVED THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT SINCE I WALK THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR IN 2016
BEEN WORKING ON LEGISLATION FOR THAT
VERY PURPOSE. SO THAT THESE
EDITORS; THE SEXUAL PREDATORS; AND THEY CALL THEM PREDATORS FOR
A REASON -- BECAUSE THEY
PREY UPON INNOCEN
T PEOPLE; PEOPLE THEY CAN MANIPULATE; PEOPLE THEY CAN HAVE AUTHORITY OVER
SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRENGTH TO COME FORWARD
AND TESTIFY TO IT WAS GOOD TO BE VERY
DIFFICULT BUT I'VE LEGISLATION THAT WILL ELIMINATE THESE VERY PEOPLE
WHO GET THESE PLEA DEALS. SO AGAIN; THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
LEGISLATION FOUR. >> CHAIR MARIANI: THANK YOU REPRESENTATIVE GROSSELL.
REPRESENTATIVE CONSIDINE >> REPRESENTATIVE CONSIDINE: THANK YOU; MR. CHAIR. TO
THE TESTIFIER; YOUR COURAGE IS AMAZING AND I'M REALLY SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON IF
THE SPOUSE SAY;
HAS ALZHEIMER'S AND IS IN AN INSTITUTION DOES THIS BILL COVER THAT AND WHO
WOULD THEN FRANKLY; SPEAK FOR
THE SPOUSE? >>
REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON: WITH THIS BILL WOULD DO THAT SITUATION IS MAKE THE MERE FACT OF THE MARRIAGE
BETWEEN THE PERSON AND THE PERSON
WITH ALZHEIMER'S
NOT CONTROLLING. IF THE SEXUAL CONDUCT
BETWEEN SPOUSES IS STILL CONSENSUAL THEN
IT'S NOT ILLEGAL. CONSENT IS STILL A DEFENSE IN THAT
INSTANCE. SO IN THAT COME I BELIEVE IS WHY THE
DISABILITY COMMUNITY DOESN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS BILL BECAUSE IT STILL ALLOWS
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DISABLED OR OTHERWISE
IMPACTED TO ENGAGE IN SEXUAL RELATIONS PROVIDED THERE
IS CONCERN.
>>
REPRESENTATIVE CONSIDINE: THANK YOU; MR. CHAIR. I
AM GUESSING
UNFORTUNATELY I'M THINKING OF A CASE DOWN IN MY AREA ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO WITH
A WOMAN WAS INCAPACITATED AND
HER HUSBAND WOULD COME AND PICK
HER UP AND TAKE HER OUT FOR
A VISIT
. SHE WASN'T CAPABLE OF CONSENT AT THIS POINT IN
HER LIFE.
IN FACT THE TRAGEDY WAS THEY BOTH FROZE
TO DEATH AT THE END OF A LONG
DIRT ROAD. SOMEBODY
THAT'S INCAPACITATED IS NOT ABLE TO GIVE CONSENT IS WHAT
I'M THINKING. >>
REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON: MR. CHAIR
REPRESENTATIVE CONSIDINE I THINK
ULTIMATELY CONSENT IS A BIG PART OF THE
TOUCH ON OR
SHOULD BE THE TOUCH ON A MARKABLE SEXUAL
CONDUCT LAWS. I WOULD ALSO
NOTE FOR YOU THAT THERE IS
AN ELEMENT OF PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION THAT EXISTS IN OUR LAWS BUT IS MEANT TO COVER VERY
EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES. THAT MIGHT BE APPLICABLE TO A SITUATION LIKE THE ONE THAT YOU ARE DISCUSSING. >> CHAIR MARIANI:
CHAIR CONSIDINE >> REPRESENTATIVE CONSIDINE: THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER >>
CHAIR MARIANI: CHAIR LESCH I SUSPECT THESE ARE SOME OF
THE ISSUES THAT YOUR COMMITTEE
WILL DIG DEEPER INTO IF THERE'S A
TECHNICAL APPLICATION AND CONSIDERATION IN TERMS OF
PROSECUTING PROCEDURES. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO
THE CONVERSATION. MR
. CHAIR >> REPRESENTATIVE LESCH: THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE WILL LOOK AT IT IN CLOSING THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT THAT CAME UP
A CHAIR CONSIDINE HAS A QUESTION HE SITS ON
THE COMMITTEE IS WHAT I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON AND
YOU MS. THISSEN IF YOU WANT TO INTO ANOTHER COMMITTEE.
I KNOW THAT'S DIFFICULT BUT I WILL TELL YOU YOU DID AND ASCENDING
JOB
TODAY AND I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT. THOSE OF US AROUND

THE EYE IDEAL RE-VICTIMIZING
THE VICTIM..
THAT'S THE WORD YOU WANT TO USE
OR NOT BUT I WILL TELL YOU A LOT OF TIMES
YOU HAVING TO ENDURE
THIS AGAIN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR EVERYONE HERE MAKES FOR MORE
SOLID LEGISLATION COUL
D IT ABSOLUTELY DOES. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING WILLING TO TAKE THIS ON YOUR SHOULDERS FOR EVERYONE
WHO IS IN A POSITION TO SPEAK UP. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO BETWEEN HERE AND THERE; MR. CHAIR; WE WILL DECIDE HOW REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON
WANT TO DO THIS. OKAY; THANK
YOU GOOD
>> CHAIR MARIANI: THANK YOU CHAIRMAN LESCH. IS THERE ANYONE
THE PUBLIC
OR AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO TESTIFY FOR OR AGAINST THE BILL? IF NOT; THEN
REPRESENTATIVE STEPHENSON I THINK WE ARE READY TO ACT ON YOUR BILL DID SO
REPRESENTATIVE LONG RENEWS HIS MOTION THAT
HOUSE FILE 15 B REFER TO THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE WITH
A RECOMMENDATION THAT IT BE
RE-REFERRED TO THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR
SAY; AYE.
[CHORUS OF AYES.] OPPOSED;

YOU MS. THISSEN. THANK YOU MS. BRYC

Open Talks 2 | Space Junk | Abdullah Saghir Ahmad | Public Relations Cell, NMIMS Bangalore - Duration: 6:01.
Humans have been fascinated by space since antiquity
If you were in Paris, 231 years ago,
you would have seen a guy flying above the tallest of the buildings in a giant balloon shaped object
Well... Yes, that was the first hot-air balloon.
120 years later, Wright Brothers came up with the aero plane.
And in the year 1957, man began his journey to explore a new frontier "Space",
when Soviet Union launched Sputnik-I
US, soon joined the wagon of exploration and launched the first-ever manned mission to moon in 1969
Now, we have come so far that we are discovering and monitoring new planets, but at what cost?
Have you ever thought what happens to the body of the rocket that carries the satellites into space?
What happened to the satellites when they are non-operational, when they are beyond human control ?
What happens to the space crafts that do not make their way back to Earth's orbit?
The answer to all these questions is... they become "Space Junk"
Space Junk, also known as orbital debris, comprises of man-made objects, not under human control, revolving in the orbit of Earth.
According to NASA Orbital Space Debris Program office, four objects primarily constitute as space junk-
1) Derelict (abandoned) spacecraft - When spaceships or parts of spaceships no longer work they're left to float around space indefinitely.
2) Solid rocket motor effluents - Some space shuttles use solid rocket fuel for propulsion.
After the launch, some fuel can be left over and will float around in whatever container it flew up.
3) Tiny flecks of paint - Although it may be hard to believe, there are potentially millions of tiny pieces of paint floating around Earth's orbit.
Heat or impacts with other small particles usually chip off paint specks from spacecraft and turn them into space junk.
4) Upper stages of launch vehicles - The final stages are called upper stages because they're located near the top of the entire shuttle
Fast moving pieces of debris, less than ¼ inches, can pierce a space suit.
According to recent estimates, there are around 300,000 pieces of debris larger than a centimeter in diameter orbiting Earth.
The bigger pieces of debris have the ability to bring down an entire satellite.
In 2013, a Russian weather satellite was knocked down by such debris and it came crashing down on Earth leaving thousands of new particles in the orbit.
Now, a $2700 putty knife is orbiting the Earth waiting for such a satellite.
Space junk is a pressing issue because not only the risk of objects falling from atmosphere is increasing day by day
but also the population of orbital debris is increasing with the effect of a chain reaction.
In order to tackle this issue, many space research organizations such as NASA have designed few measures.
The objects that constitute space junk, as mentioned earlier can be addresses using technologically advanced mechanisms.
Like, upper stages of launch vehicles and solid rocket motor effluents can be shot out of Earth's orbit using LASER based debris remover.
The latest and the most fruitful method is to capture debris using a TAMU sweeper
and employ the capabilities of a sling-sat to project the debris out of Earth's orbit.
We need more such innovations in this field and more than that we need to sensitize countries about orbital debris.
While the creation of orbiting junk continues to rise with each rocket launch, there is no market for tackling the issue directly.
Third world countries, in a race to display their technological advancements, are launching satellites
without realizing the long term effect of such space objects.
We've reached the point of no return.
The debris will continue to get worse in terms of collision threats,
even if not another satellite were launched; the problem will continue to get worse.
This menacing problem and the possible cleanup solutions are international in scope.
International bodies like International Space Exploration Coordination Group and NASA Orbital Space Debris Program office
should run awareness and sensitizing programs about space junk
and innovations should be made for automatic trajectory of satellites from Earth's orbit
when they are nearing the end of their life-span.
Space exploration promised us alien life, lucrative planetary mining, and fabulous lunar colonies.
News flash: Space is nearly empty.
It's a sterile vacuum, filled mostly with the junk we put up there.
Now, it is upon us to collectively innovate ways to clean up the junk.
We - the current generation - have a moral responsibility
to make the world better for future generations.
Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past.
Let us accept our own responsibility for the future
and tackle this problem which is growing as we speak.

3 Biggest Public Speaking Mistakes to Avoid - Duration: 5:59.
I'm not a big believer in following rules in public speaking
You know, we've all heard them do this say that walk this way. Don't go that way
I I just don't think that it critical instead. I want to share with you the three
biggest mistakes that will kill your presentation every time you're on stage on video and
If you get those three mistakes under control, and of course, I've made them just like everybody else did
If you get those three mistakes under control, you will be a much better public speaker
I'm Victoria Lewinsky and I help introverted entrepreneurs overcome the fear of public speaking
And transformed into confident compelling and captivating speakers
mistake number one
Focusing on their own. Thanks. Have you ever entertained this thought about your audience?
What does he think of me?
What if they think I'm a fraud? What if they think I don't know my stuff what if they don't like me?
This thoughts seemed fairly harmless right after all they just in your head. But while you spend in your mental energy
focusing on all of those questions
You are not
Focused on your audience and by being focused on your audience. I don't mean you spend your time thinking from scared
You are off your audience
focusing on your audience means
That the only thing that is in your head all these things that you're thinking about is how you are
making them feel because only when you take the focus off of you and
Your confidence issues and your minds and blocks and everything else that you have in your head?
Only when you take focus off of you and shift it to your audience
Only then
You are becoming a great speaker
I have a whole video on this mindset shift and if you are watching this on youtube
You can just grab it from the link above or I will also put the link in the description
Mistake number two not being your authentic
It is still attempting to mimic somebody you admire, right?
But audience can spot a fake right away
Remember the time you win the audience couldn't even somebody was too rehearsed
To sleep too. Perfect
Don't sacrifice being yourself for perfection perfection is bland and boring
The audience wants to see the real you
they do and
being
Genuine will always outperform
Being perfect
Mistake number three not preparing rehearsing before your presentation as an introvert
preparing and thinking things through
Really come natural to me
if anything I like to prepare a little too much at the expense of
pushing the ideas into the world sooner
now a lot of people
like to weigh in and
Truthfully procuration is boring right at some point you go like. Oh, I'll just I'm done. I'll just go into it
But I really really really want to encourage you to at least do a few key things
You definitely want to have you outline prepared and done. You want to know all the key points. You're going to cover
Particularly, if you're going without the crutch of slides if you are doing a telltale talk you need to have all of those key
points memorized and in your mind
another thing that's very very important and I definitely encourage you to do it is to
specifically
focus on the first few minutes of your presentation
maybe even memorize it because you know when you just walk on stage is the most nervous and that's when
mistakes happen
you want to memorize your opinion so that you can just glide through it and be done with it and
Then you can continue
going with the talking points in your hand, but
focus on
your opening focus on the first few minutes of your presentation and also you want to prepare is a
Closing of your presentation because this is the last thing your audience remembers and everybody has their own favorite
Methods for preparing some people like to sit at their desk
And prepare that way some people like to go and walk and think through their presentation in their head. I
Spend a lot of time in the car drive. And so I love thinking through my presentation in the car. I
Literally visualize everything I don't just visualize how I'm delivering my lines and what I'm saying
I'm also visualizing reaction from the audience and that
really really really helps so don't skip
preparation find a way that works for you bead on the walk in the car in the shower or
Just even while maybe you're watching TV you are
Spending some time
Going through representation in your head there. You have it. Let me go over the three mistakes one more time mistake number one
focusing on the wrong things
Mistake number two not being your authentic self
mistake number three not preparing rehearsing before your presentation and
Now, it's your turn. Let me know in the comments which of these mistakes ran particularly true to you
I cannot wait to hear from you and I will see you soon. In the meantime
