AMGEN TO PRESENT AT CITI'S 2024 GLOBAL HEALTHCARE CONFERENCEA former emergency department doctor has been ordered to pay $250,000 to the family of a teenage girl he sexually assaulted. or signup to continue reading In March 2020, Obiyo Nwigwe sexually penetrated a 13-year-old girl on multiple occasions, using his role as a doctor and trust with the family to be alone with the victim. He also sent almost 1000 phone and text messages to the then 13-year-old, some of which included nude photos of himself. Nwigwe met the victim after moving to Ballarat from the United Kingdom in 2020. Nwigwe worked as a doctor at the Bendigo Hospital at the time of the offending. His medical licence has since been revoked in Australia and the UK. On June 29, 2021, Nwigwe pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual penetration of a minor under the age of 16, and one charge of using a carriage service to transmit indecent communications to a person under the age of 16. The following month he was sentenced to six years and six months imprisonment. At a hearing in the Melbourne County Court in July 2024, the victim made an application for compensation with respect to physical and psychological harm caused to her following the sexual assaults. Details of her conditions were presented to the court, which included Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The girl also reported recurrent abdominal pain following the incident, diagnosed as Somatic Symptom Disorder. According to County Court Judge Andrew Fraatz, the girl had been suffering from "nausea, depression, anxiety, insomnia, nightmares, social disadvantage, loss of innocence, pervasive feelings of insecurity, suicidal ideation and body dysmorphia" since the incident. Nwigwe's lawyers argued the injuries were not a direct result of the offending, and that Nwigwe did not have the money to pay a compensation order. In September 2020, the court restrained Nwgiwe's Alfredton property to pay any future compensation orders. Nwgiwe was allowed to sell the property, with $66,000 from the sale held on trust. Judge Fraatz said the money would be used to reimburse his lawyers, provided to him through legal aid, and to pay any compensation order amount. As he is not an Australian citizen, Nwgiwe will be deported from Australia to the UK upon his release from prison. Judge Fraatz handed down his ruling on November 22, 2024. He ordered Nwgiwe to pay $250,000 in compensation but did not order Him to pay the family's legal costs. "In this application, given the age of the applicant when the offending commenced, the intensity of the offending and its impact upon her, I assess the appropriate amount of compensation at $250,000," the judge said.

Fresh daily!A Florida man was arrested Wednesday and charged with a plot to "reboot" the U.S. government by planting a bomb at the New York Stock Exchange this week and detonating it with a remote-controlled device, according to the FBI. Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, 30, of Coral Springs, Florida, was charged with an attempt to use an explosive device to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce. The FBI began investigating Yener in February based on a tip that he was storing "bombmaking schematics" in a storage unit. They found bomb-making sketches, many watches with timers, electronic circuit boards and other electronics that could be used for building explosive devices, according to the FBI. He had also searched online for things related to bomb-making since 2017, according to the FBI. RELATED STORY | Court overturns actor Jussie Smollett's 2019 conviction in hate crime hoax case Yener also told undercover FBI agents that he wanted to detonate the bomb the week before Thanksgiving and that the stock exchange in lower Manhattan would be a popular site to target. "The Stock Exchange, we want to hit that, because it will wake people up," he told undercover FBI agents, according to court documents. Yener, who was described as "unhoused," wanted to bomb the stock exchange in order to "reboot" the U.S. government, explaining that it would be "like a small nuke went off," killing everyone inside the building, according to court documents. In the last month, he had rewired two-way radios so that they could work as remote triggers for an explosive device and planned to wear a disguise when planting the explosives, according to court documents. Yener had his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon and will be detained while he awaits a trial. He was known to post videos on a YouTube channel about making explosives and fireworks from household items, and had a history of making threats, according to court documents. He was fired last year from a restaurant in Coconut Creek, Florida, after his former supervisor said he threatened to "go Parkland shooter in this place." He was also part of a small group that tried to join the far-right anti-government group the " Boogaloo Bois " and extremist group the Proud Boys but was denied membership because he said he wanted "to pursue martyrdom," according to court documents. The news was first reported by the website CourtWatch. Calls to telephone numbers listed for Harun Abdul-Malik Yener in public records rang unanswered and a lawyer was not listed in court records.
SUV struck by MBTA Commuter Rail train on South ShoreThe states that saw the most active attacks against two years ago certified the results of this year’s races without controversy this week, prompting the Arizona secretary of state to proclaim that “election denialism” is a thing of the past. Others said they weren’t so sure. Certification proceeded normally this year in part because won the presidential race, quieting his supporters after he had making that he could . The statewide certification votes Tuesday in Nevada and New Mexico follow a vote Monday to certify the results in Arizona. In all three states, the was tumultuous during the when Democrats won most statewide offices. Those controversies followed attempts by Trump and his allies to in Michigan, Georgia and in 2020, disrupting what until then had been a routine administrative process. This year, some who have been the most vocal in questioning the integrity of elections have instead been celebrating Trump’s victory. “The results are being accepted in the manner that they are, in part, because those who have been eroding trust or casting doubt on the integrity of U.S. elections have a result they feel good about,” said David Levine, a former local election official in Idaho who now advises on election administration issues. “Hopefully we can get back to a place where Americans can feel confident in the results even if it’s one they disagree with.” On Tuesday, Nevada and New Mexico certified their statewide results with little discussion. During Monday’s certification in Arizona, reflected on the lack of controversy this year. “I think the age of election denialism, for all intents and purposes, is dead,” he said. Sitting next to Fontes, state Attorney General Kris Mayes, a fellow Democrat, said she was more skeptical. Her Republican opponent in 2022 spent two years . “Do I think election denialism is dead? No, I don’t,” she said. “We’ll see over the next couple of election cycles what happens, but I don’t think we’re there yet.” Public confidence in elections has dropped since Trump challenged his loss in 2020 and made false claims of widespread fraud, . Some Republicans began targeting the certification process, when local and state boards certify the results after local election officials provide them with the final tally of votes. A firestorm erupted in Georgia over the summer when the state election board, with a new pro-Trump majority, the certification process with changes later blocked by the courts. While certification battles did not surface , a vocal segment within the Republican Party remains deeply skeptical of election processes, particularly of the availability of mail ballots and the use of ballot scanners to tally votes. During a forum Monday on the social platform X led by the group Cause of America, the group’s director expressed doubt about voting equipment. Shawn Smith, who also is a retired Air Force colonel, argued the certification process suppresses legitimate concerns and goes against “the sovereignty of the people.” Although not as widespread as four years ago, this sentiment did surface sporadically at the local level this month. In Washoe County, Nevada, which includes Reno and voted narrowly for Vice President Kamala Harris, the vote to certify the results was 3-1 with one abstention. Commissioner Jeanne Herman has consistently voted against certification and did not make a public comment about her vote this year. Commissioner Mike Clark, a staunch Trump supporter who had also previously voted against certification, said he would abstain and left before the vote. “I am not an election denier and clearly the person I wanted to win, won this state,” Clark said before leaving the meeting. “However, that does not mean that all the protocols were followed and that we can truly certify the election.” Such skepticism, whether in Nevada or elsewhere, leaves the door open to certification disputes during future elections. The questioning of election results isn’t limited to Republicans. Even though Harris quickly conceded after , online posts among her supporters continue to raise concerns about her loss. One Reddit community that has amassed 23,000 members features a steady drumbeat of Democrats scrutinizing a result they can’t believe is real. Some posting in the group have issued calls to contact Harris and her running mate to ask them to demand a recount or otherwise object to the outcome. Among the battlegrounds, Michigan was among those where and his allies for Democrat Joe Biden amid false claims of fraud and manipulation. Two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers who initially opposed certification eventually relented. The state board of canvassers eventually voted to certify, even after one Republican member abstained. This year, the state board voted on Nov. 22 in favor of certifying and praised the state’s election workers. In Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified his state’s results on Nov. 22. Four years ago, the Republican state official was facing from Trump and his allies to investigate their unsubstantiated claims of fraud. Also certifying results Tuesday, and doing so unanimously, was the state Board of Elections in North Carolina. It was the only presidential battleground state won by Trump in 2020 — and the only one where he and his allies didn’t make claims of fraud. ___ Cassidy reported from Atlanta.

Portraits of National Leaders to be Unveiled in Karnataka Assembly Hall
AP Business SummaryBrief at 9:33 a.m. ESTPresident-elect Donald Trump is set to triumphantly return to the international stage Saturday when he attends the re-opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris along with other world leaders. Trump will be joined at the highly anticipated event by such global bigs as French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and Britain’s Prince William. President Biden is not attending the ceremony, instead sending his wife Jill to represent the US. Zelensky officially plans to meet with Macron – a staunch ally of Ukraine in its war with Russia — during his visit, but “other meetings are also possible [for the Ukrainian leader], in particular with President-elect Donald Trump,” a Ukrainian source told AFP. Such a meeting would make the gathering for the cathedral’s reopening a de facto diplomatic summit in a period of extreme tension between NATO and Russia over the Ukraine war. The guest list for the famed cathedral’s re-opening ceremony — which will feature music from world-renowned musicians and the blessing of its grand organ — also will include the heads of state of Germany Italy, Poland, Bulgaria and Lithuania, Le Monde said. Prince William will be joined by other royals at the event including King Felipe VI of Spain and likely the king and queen of Belgium, reports said. All of the world leaders will have an opportunity to cozy up to Trump, the soon-to-be leader of the free world. Trump has called the cathedral “one of the great treasures of the world” and lamented the devastating fire that ravaged the historic landmark in 2019. The blaze is suspected of being caused by faulty electrical wiring or even a smoldering cigarette from a worker. He has praised Macron for leading its restoration effort, which was completed with astonishing speed thanks to the efforts of more than 2,000 workers including many craftsmen. “President Emmanuel Macron has done a wonderful job ensuring that Notre Dame has been restored to its full level of glory, and even more so,” the president-elect wrote on Truth Social. Macron was one of the first foreign leaders to congratulate Trump on his election victory, posting on X that he was “ready to work together as we did for four years. “With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity,” Macron wrote, addressing Trump. Macron’s office also called Trump on the phone soon after he clinched the election win. On Saturday, the pair will have a chance to meet face-to-face along with the hoards of other political leaders. “It will be a very special day for us all!” Trump wrote.
The Cardiff microwave making plant of Japanese conglomerate Panasonic is becoming its first European facility to be powered solely by renewable sources. Under its Panasonic HX £108m initiative the 50-year-old factory, which directly employs 326 staff, is benefiting from a combination of hydrogen fuel cells, solar PV and battery storage - all steered by Panasonic’s proprietary energy management system (EMS). Microwave oven production represents the main electricity requirement of the factory. Its 100% renewable energy will use green hydrogen combined with solar energy to generate electricity in-house and control the coordination of three energy sources, including the batteries which store the PV energy when the factory isn’t in operation, such as on weekends. The company is committed to the long-term development of hydrogen and sustainable energy solutions as part of its Panasonic HX business strategy. The factory’s new green power sources will be fully operational by March. Masahiro Shinada, president and chief executive of, Panasonic Corporation, said: “This facility will use green hydrogen produced in the UK. We believe that this is the place where we can take a big step towards the future by combining British and Japanese technology. “It is our sincere hope that this facility can be used as a showcase to foster diverse partnerships, accelerate innovation through the combination of technologies, and contribute to the development of the UK’s hydrogen-related industry. “Now, with the launch of Panasonic HX here at PMUK (Panasonic Manufacturing UK), we look forward to the next chapter. In ten years, or even 20 years, I hope this facility will be seen as a birthplace of innovation – where we helped build a hydrogen society and laid the foundation for a decarbonised future.” The heat generated by the Panasonic hydrogen fuel cells as a by-product of the electricity production will be used to heat spaces and domestic hot water, further improving overall energy efficiency. Its EMS will also leverage external local weather forecast data, including changes in weather conditions and demand fluctuations, to maintain a consistent balance between electricity supply and demand, and gather data to minimise losses in the generation, storage and transmission of renewable energy and ensure a stable supply of energy. First Minister, Eluned Morgan, said:“Panasonic has played an important role in our economy for 50 years. At a time when our traditional industries started to decline, Panasonic invested in Wales, bringing new products and ways of working that other industries have learnt from, and it has continued to invest and develop the latest technology here. It has built strong links with the local community and provides high quality, skilled jobs in manufacturing and technology. “Creating green jobs that tackle the climate crisis is a top priority for me. Panasonic’s decision to build Europe’s first HX demonstration facility, powered entirely by renewable sources, aligns with our vision for Wales as a globally-responsible nation, dedicated to safeguarding the future for generations to come.” Robert Blowers, managing director, Panasonic Manufacturing UK, said: “The proof of concept at our Cardiff factory will show that innovative energy solutions can be implemented into existing older factories and buildings. Our manufacturing plant here in Cardiff turns 50 years old this year and has shipped over 90 million finished goods since 1974. "Now, it is Europe’s first Panasonic HX demonstration site, with the potential to be an inspirational ‘beacon project’ for sustainable manufacturing. And it proves that it is possible to retrofit older industrial buildings with leading-edge renewable energy technologies.”BRP Inc. executives said the Ski-Doo maker needs to stay calm in the face of tariffs proposed by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump — tariffs that could hurt a manufacturer that depends on Mexican production. "I don't think we should overreact right now," chief financial officer Sébastien Martel told analysts on a conference call Friday. "We should not speculate too much, because there are hundreds of different possibilities." Last month, the incoming president threw markets into turmoil when he threatened to slap a 25 per cent tariff on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico. Trump also proposed a 10 per cent tariff on Chinese imports. Some 70 per cent of BRP's production stems from Mexico, Martel said. The company also churns out Ski-Doo snowmobiles and some of its Can-Am three-wheeled motorcycles at a factory in Valcourt, Que. He stressed the advantage of Mexico's lower labour costs as well as its skilled workforce and the benefits of a North American free trade agreement. "We believe we would not be the same company had we not had that footprint in Mexico," Martel said. Roughly 10 per cent of BRP's goods are sourced from China, Martel noted, adding that those parts are "less technically complex." "There are parts that we could easily transfer to another supplier," he said. "Obviously, it would require work." Many observers have framed Trump's tariff threat as a gambit to gain negotiating leverage, rather than an announcement set in stone. "We are used to dealing with evolving trade agreements and have always succeeded in finding solutions to new tariffs," said CEO José Boisjoli. National Bank analyst Cameron Doerksen said the "uncertainty on this issue" remains a problem. "With the return of the Trump administration, the risk of tariffs on powersports imports into the U.S. market has risen materially, with BRP potentially vulnerable," he said in a note to investors. The uncertainty over tariffs could hardly come at a worse time for the company. BRP saw earnings plunge across all product lines amid dropping demand last quarter, capping off a tough year for the recreational vehicle manufacturer. Net income at the Sea-Doo maker fell 70 per cent year-over-year to $27.3 million in the quarter ended Oct. 31. Third-quarter revenue decreased 17 per cent to $1.96 billion. "Our retail performance was as anticipated, reflecting a challenging market dynamic due to soft industry trends," Boisjoli said, stating that discounts from competitors added to the company's woes. A slow start to the snowmobile season has not helped either. "The snow is a bit late, but now it’s catching up. And we expect good retail this season," Boisjoli said, adding that Ski-Doo sales over the next three months remain a "big question." After an urge for outdoor activity sparked a sales boom during the COVID-19 pandemic, buyers responded to inflation and interest rate hikes by pulling back from pricey recreational purchases. BRP's revenues have fallen year-over-year for eight straight quarters. Last month, the company laid off more than 120 employees in its home province of Quebec. The cuts followed some 1,150 layoffs across North America earlier this year, leaving it with roughly 20,000 workers globally. In October, BRP put its marine businesses up for sale as it looks to focus on powersports products and cut the cable to its money-losing boat brands. Nonetheless, its diluted earnings of $1.16 per share beat analysts' expectations of 69 cents, according to financial markets firm LSEG Data & Analytics. The performance boosted BRP's stock price seven per cent; it closed at $72.75 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday. The company forecast that sales of seasonal products such as Ski-Doos and Sea-Doos will fall by more than 30 per cent this year. The category accounted for a third of BRP revenues last quarter. It predicted sales of all-terrain vehicles and other year-round products — comprising more than half of revenue in the quarter — will drop by more than 20 per cent.

Choosing the Right Fiber Optic Cable for Consumer Needs 11-22-2024 11:06 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire Image: https://www.fiberopticcn.com/uploads/ADSS-1.jpgChoosing the right fiber optic cable for specific applications can be challenging. Understanding the differences between single-mode and multimode cables is crucial. Single-mode cables, with a core diameter of 9m, excel in high bandwidth and long-distance applications. They offer up to 50 times more distance than multimode cables. In contrast, multimode cables, with thicker cores ranging from 50m to 62.5m, suit shorter distances, typically under 550 meters. When deciding how to choose fiber optic cable, consider the application's distance and bandwidth requirements to ensure optimal performance.Types of Fiber Optic CablesSingle-mode Fiber Optic CablesCharacteristics Single-mode fiber optic cables feature a core diameter of 9m, surrounded by 125m of cladding. This design allows only one light mode to travel through the core, typically using a laser. The single light path minimizes signal attenuation and dispersion, making these cables ideal for long-distance data transmission. They operate efficiently at wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm, which are optimal for high-bandwidth applications. Pros and Cons Pros: * Long-distance capability: Single-mode cables excel in transmitting data over vast distances without significant loss. * High bandwidth: They support higher data rates, making them suitable for high-demand applications. * Cost-effective for long-term use: While initial costs might be higher, their efficiency in long-distance applications often results in lower overall expenses. Cons: * Higher initial cost: The equipment required for single-mode systems can be more expensive than multimode systems. * Complex installation: Requires precise alignment due to the small core size, which can complicate installation and maintenance. Multimode Fiber Optic CablesCharacteristics Multimode fiber optic cables have thicker cores, typically ranging from 50m to 62.5m. This larger core diameter allows multiple light modes to travel simultaneously, which can lead to modal dispersion over longer distances. These cables are commonly used within data centers or between buildings in a campus setting, where transmission lengths are limited but require high bandwidth. They operate at wavelengths of 850nm and 1300nm. Pros and Cons Pros: * Cost-effective for short distances: Multimode cables are generally less expensive for short-range applications. * Easier installation: The larger core size simplifies alignment, making installation and maintenance more straightforward. * Versatile applications: Suitable for various environments, including data centers and local area networks. Cons: * Limited distance capability: Multimode cables are not ideal for long-distance transmissions due to modal dispersion. * Lower bandwidth potential: Compared to single-mode cables, they offer reduced bandwidth over extended distances. Understanding these characteristics and trade-offs is crucial when selecting the appropriate fiber optic cable for specific needs. Each type serves distinct purposes, and the choice should align with the application's requirements. Comparing Single-mode and Multimode Fiber Optic CablesKey DifferencesDistance Capabilities Single-mode fiber optic cables excel in long-distance data transmission. They can cover distances up to 50 times greater than multimode cables without significant signal loss. This capability makes them ideal for applications that require data to travel over vast areas, such as intercity or international communications. In contrast, multimode cables are more suitable for shorter distances, typically under 550 meters. Their design supports multiple light paths, which can lead to modal dispersion over longer distances, limiting their effective range. Bandwidth and Speed Fiber optic cables offer superior bandwidth and speed compared to traditional copper cables. Single-mode cables support higher data rates, making them suitable for high-demand applications requiring ultra-fast data transmission. They operate efficiently at wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm, which are optimal for high-bandwidth applications. Multimode cables, while offering lower bandwidth potential over extended distances, still provide sufficient speed for many local area network (LAN) applications. They operate at wavelengths of 850nm and 1300nm, making them effective for environments like data centers where high-speed data transmission is crucial. ApplicationsSuitable Scenarios for Single-mode Single-mode cables are the preferred choice for long-distance networks and high-bandwidth applications. They are ideal for telecommunications, cable television, and internet service providers that require reliable data transmission over large distances. These cables are also suitable for connecting different buildings within a campus or for use in metropolitan area networks (MANs), where long-distance capability and high-speed data transfer are essential. Suitable Scenarios for Multimode Multimode cables find their niche in environments where shorter distances and high bandwidth are required. They are commonly used within data centers, where they connect servers and storage systems. These cables are also suitable for local area networks (LANs) and campus networks, where the transmission lengths are limited but require high-speed data transfer. Their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation make them a popular choice for these applications. How to Choose Fiber Optic Cable Selecting the right fiber optic cable involves a careful assessment of specific needs and cost considerations. Understanding how to choose fiber optic cable ensures optimal performance and value for money. Assessing Your NeedsEvaluating Distance Requirements The first step in determining how to choose fiber optic cable is evaluating the distance over which data must travel. Single-mode cables are ideal for long-distance applications, often exceeding 10 kilometers without significant signal loss. They suit scenarios like intercity communications or connecting buildings across a campus. In contrast, multimode cables work best for shorter distances, typically under 550 meters, making them suitable for data centers or local area networks. Determining Bandwidth Needs Bandwidth requirements play a crucial role in deciding how to choose fiber optic cable. Single-mode cables support higher bandwidths, making them perfect for high-demand applications such as telecommunications and internet services. Multimode cables, while offering lower bandwidth over long distances, still provide adequate speed for many local applications. Consider the data rate and the number of users to ensure the chosen cable meets the network's demands. Cost Considerations Image: https://www.fiberopticcn.com/uploads/2029598e-4b92-494a-89ce-bb329650febc.jpg Budget Constraints Budget constraints often influence how to choose fiber optic cable. It's essential to obtain quotations from multiple providers to discover who offers the best value for money. Multimode cables generally have a lower initial cost, making them attractive for short-distance applications. However, single-mode cables, despite their higher upfront expense, may prove more cost-effective for long-term use due to their efficiency in long-distance scenarios. Long-term Investment Investing in high-quality materials for optical fiber cables is crucial for ensuring a stable and reliable connection over time. Quality cables reduce maintenance costs and enhance network performance. When considering how to choose fiber optic cable, weigh the initial investment against potential long-term savings. High-quality single-mode cables, for instance, might offer better returns in environments requiring extensive data transmission. In conclusion, understanding how to choose fiber optic cable involves evaluating distance and bandwidth needs while considering budget and long-term investment. By aligning these factors with specific application requirements, one can make an informed decision that balances performance and cost-effectiveness. Choosing between single-mode and multimode cables requires careful consideration of specific needs. Single-mode cables excel in long-distance and high-bandwidth applications, while multimode cables suit shorter distances with less demanding bandwidth requirements. To make an informed decision, assess the application's distance and bandwidth needs. Consider future-proofing network infrastructure by investing in fiber optic cables, which offer advantages like exceptional bandwidth and low attenuation over long distances.

AMGEN TO PRESENT AT CITI'S 2024 GLOBAL HEALTHCARE CONFERENCERuud van Nistelrooy admits he was “hurt” at having to leave Manchester United last month. Van Nistelrooy returned to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag’s assistant in the summer and had a four-game interim spell in charge following his compatriot’s sacking in October. He left the club in the wake of Ruben Amorim’s appointment but was only out of work for two weeks after being appointed Leicester’s new manager on a deal until 2027. The 48-year-old had a glittering playing career with United and was disappointed his return had to end so soon. “The moment I took over the interim job what I said was I’m here to help United and to stay to help United, and I meant it,” he said. “So I was disappointed, yeah, very much so, and it hurt I had to leave. “The only job I would take as an assistant was at United because of the bond that I have with the people in the club and the fans. “But in the end I got my head around it because I also understand the new manager. I’m in football long enough, and I’ve managed myself, that you can think of a situation, me being there, I understand. “I spoke to Ruben about it, fair enough to him, the conversation was grateful, man to man, person to person, manager to manager, and that helped a lot to move on and straightaway get into talks with new possibilities which of course lifted my spirits.” The Dutchman takes on a difficult job at the King Power Stadium as he is tasked with keeping Leicester in the Premier League. He inherits an influential dressing room, which has seen a number of managers come and go over the last few years.

It’s mutual respect. I also mentioned to the players yesterday that I looked at the squad and started to make phone calls about players, because in football everyone knows everyone,” he said. “With two or three phone calls you hear stories about 20 players and for me it was important that you hear there are good characters there. That’s important, that there are good people there. “I look at the players how they play. I obviously don’t know them but I got general information and the individuals that they are a good bunch of people. That was important for me to get in.”
