We are very excited to host the competitions virtually this Season and hopeful that the experience will be a positive one for each and every participant. We look forward to seeing the arguments you develop. The MSBA hopes that all the benefits of the Mock Trial Program will go far beyond the rewards associated with competing against one’s peers, winning a round or two, or even the state title. The success of this program relies heavily on the hundreds of volunteers acting as coaches and judges; be sure to extend your gratitude to these individuals whenever given the chance throughout the season! The Mock Trial program recognizes the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many lives. At the time this case is being published, more than 220,000 Americans have died as a result of this pandemic. Many more are also expected to die from the disease. We drafted this case, in part, to demonstrate the way legal issues do not “go away” during a time of international crisis. Indeed, sometimes, situations such as this create legal disputes not originally imagined. Attorneys are always thinking “worst case” and “all possibilities” when drafting contracts. The use of “force majeure” clauses is one way to address these possibilities. There are others. But, as this case demonstrates, even careful drafting cannot account for every possibility or how that language will be interpreted by the contracting parties or the court. We hope you and those close to you stay well. Best of luck and have fun! 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Section One: Case Overview 5 Complaint 6 Answer and Affirmative Defenses 10 Pretrial Order 13 Stipulations 15 Jury Instructions 16 Section Two: Witness for Plaintiff – Payton Knox 23 Witness for Plaintiff – Jordan Knox 26 Witness for Plaintiff – Riley Swayne 29 Witness for Defendant – Bobbie Stuart 33 Witness for Defendant – Kris Nixon 36 Witness for Defendant – Toni Olivia 42 Section Three: Exhibit 1 – Nixon Lodge & Catering Brochure 47 Exhibit 2 – Nixon Lodge & Catering Contract 48 Exhibit 3 – Nixon Lodge & Catering COVID Preparedness Plan 57 Exhibit 4 – Hibbing Haute Couture Contract & Invoice 63 Exhibit 5a-5h– Email Chain 65 Section Four: Competition Rules 75 Minnesota Mock Trial Simplified Rules of Evidence 95 Virtual Competition Rules 106 Virtual Competition Requirements and Tips 111 Sample Team Roster 113 Sample Team Roster Zoom Participants for MSBA 114 Student Release Form 115 Volunteer of the Year Nomination Form 116 Pretrial Stipulations 117 4 CASE OVERVIEW This is a civil case based on contract law. It is set in Hibbing, St. Louis County, Minnesota. Payton Knox, a local hockey hero, and Parker Stevenson became engaged to be married in 2019. Payton’s parent, Jordan Knox, formerly a well-known clothier in Hibbing, was as excited as Payton for this wedding, with visions of grandchildren dancing in their head. The happy couple’s parents each agreed to foot 35% of the wedding costs. The big day was to be July 4, 2020, the five-year anniversary of when Payton and Parker met. The venue was to be Nixon Lodge, a lovely old hotel, reminiscent in some ways (at least for Payton) of the old Hibbing High School. The venue and catering services were booked in June 2019. Payton, Parker and their respective parents were fairly well off and they were going to make this the wedding of the decade. The wedding was planned for about 250 people (and 2 dogs); dozens of friends and relatives were going to be flown in from all over the country (and from France, where Jordan still has family). Then the COVID-19 pandemic began its deadly path across America. By March 2020, Minnesota was in shut- down mode, airlines had all but stopped flying, and people were socially distancing themselves and wearing masks. The hotel and restaurant businesses were required to develop Preparedness Plans regarding how they would conduct business in the face of COVID. Based on the Rules promulgated by the Minnesota Department of Health, the recommendations of the Hibbing Health and Safety inspector, and the age and physical layout of the Nixon Lodge, the owner and Sales Manager, Kris Nixon, informed the Knoxes that the maximum size of the wedding would be 75 and that masks, social distancing and other health precautions would be required. When the Knoxes balked at these restrictions, Nixon Lodge offered to look for an alternative date, for a fee. The Knoxes were outraged and demanded either the wedding of Payton and Parker’s dreams or their money back. Nixon Lodge refused. Payton Knox sued Nixon Lodge for a return of all the money they put down; Nixon Lodge answered with a countersuit, demanding payment of the rest of the monies owed to them. The witnesses for the plaintiff are: ➢ Payton Knox: one half of the happy couple. Payton is a local hero of sorts, based on a long, successful career as a hockey player. Payton wanted a huge wedding and wanted it on the anniversary that Payton and Parker met – July 4, 2020. ➢ Jordan Knox: parent of Payton Knox and formerly the successful owner of Palace Clothiers in Hibbing. Jordan sold the business a few years back and now happily lives in Maine with Jordan’s spouse. ➢ Riley Swayne: wedding planner hired by Payton and Parker on or around March 14, 2019. Booked the venue on behalf of the wedding party and arranged for fireworks and a red and blue wedding color scheme. The witnesses for the defendant are: ➢ Kris Nixon: owner and chief Sales Manager for Nixon Lodge and Catering. After working at several jobs that provided good training, Kris inherited the Nixon Lodge, which had been in the Nixon family for nearly 100 years. With a relatively small operations staff, Kris took on the position of Sales Manager as well as owner. ➢ Bobbie Stuart: catering manager for Nixon Lodge and Catering.

For example, could the contestant use his knife to make kindling for a fire? The challenge here was to produce, in thirty seconds, RIPOSTE a large quantity of splinters from a six inch 2X4. HANGING PLASTIC BOTTLE This extremely difficult test involved severing an empty 16 ounce plastic water THE 2003 BLADE SHOW bottle. The bottle was suspended in mid air by a single upholstery thread. The tricky part was cutting the bottle without breaking the thread in the process! After a long absence and much urging from our loyal customers and fans, we decided to attend the Blade show in Atlanta one more time. Here are some of the ROPE CUT high points and low points from our perspective. The final event of the day required each contestant to predict the total number of free hanging manila ropes he could sever in a single stroke. The difficult part, of course, involved living up to one’s prediction. Failure to cut the predicted number HIGH POINTS... of ropes would result in a no score. Throughout the contest, spectators were entertained and educated by the folksy, down home banter of M.C. Jerry Fisk, who did a fantastic job keeping the event on CUSTOMERS AND FANS course.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

    Tenaga Dalam Volume 2 - August 1999 The Voice of the Indonesian Pencak Silat Governing Board - USA Branch Welcome to the August issue of Tenaga Dalam. A lot has occurred since May issue. Pendekar Sanders had a very successful seminar in Ireland with Guru Liam McDonald on May 15-16, a very large and successful seminar at Guru Besar Jeff Davidson’s school on June 5-6 and he just returned from a seminar in England. The seminar at Guru Besar Jeff Davidson’s was video taped and the 2 volume set can be purchased through Raja Naga. Tape 1 consists of blakok (crane) training and Tape 2 has about 15 minutes more of blakok training followed by a very intense training session in various animal possessions including the very rare Raja Naga possession. Guru Besar Davidson and his students should be commended on their excellent portrayal of the art. Tape 1 is available to the general public, but due to the intense nature of tape 2 you must be a student. It is with great sadness that I must report that Guru William F. Birge passed away. William was a long time personal student of Pendekar Sanders and he will be missed by all of the people that he came into contact with. 1 Tribute to Guru William F.

  • Swiss Objets De Mémoire from Borneo: a Biographical Reading of Indonesian Artifacts Owned by a Swiss Family in the 1920S
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Swiss objets de mémoire from Borneo: A biographical reading of Indonesian artifacts owned by a Swiss family in the 1920s von Wyss-Giacosa, Paola ; Isler, Andreas Abstract: This paper discusses the significance of artifacts as sources and evidence within thestudy of transcultural biography. More specifically, we focus on a group of objects of Bornean pro-venance donated to the Ethnographic Museum of the University of Zurich a few years ago: In the spring of 2007 the descendants of Wolfgang and Erika Leupold presented us with a roomful of artifacts brought back by their parents from Indonesia. Leupold, a Swiss geologist, had spent six years in Northeastern Borneo, from 1921 to 1927, in the service of the Dutch colonial government. In planning an exhibition of this donation, we at first approached the individual objects museologically, meaning that we catalogued them following categories of ethnicity, skills, function, and cultural significance. However, over time, an additional perspective presented itself. It became clear that what had appeared to be a rather heterogeneous collection achieved a very specific unity and thus meaning, if we considered the artifacts as pieces of “contact zones”. Each object could be read as a biographical document of the lives of Leupold and his wife, thus considerably adding to our understanding of the manifold aspects of the family’s time in the colonies, their contacts with local peoples, as well as his geological explorations of the terrain. The contribution explores methodological aspects of this object-based biographical approach.

This publication (HTML format & original artwork) © 1997 Bakbakan International http://www.bakbakan.com/swishkb.html ÿThe kris may be of any length and two or three inches wide. All of the knives, no matter what shape, are encased in wooden scabbards, and have a keenness of edge equaling that of a Damascus blade.þ Major O. J. Sweet 22nd Infantry U.S. Army This book is part of a selection of rare Filipiniana books which have long been out of print and are no longer available. Through the admirable efforts of concerned groups such as the Filipiniana Book Guild, the Historical Conservation Society, Cacho Hermanos and the Eugenio Lopez Foundation, more Filipiniana materials have been reprinted and made available to the general public. These rare books, selected by Professor Renato Constantino, form part of the Filipiniana Reprint Series published by Cacho Hermanos. "It is to be expected that American author Vic Hurley would regard Muslim leaders and resistance groups as bandits and terrorists. But if we read his graphic accounts of Muslim resistance from the people's point of view, we will see these battles for what they really were -- a determined heroic defense by the Muslim of the integrity of their societies. "And despite the colonialist bias, there is in the author's accounts a grudging acknowledgement of the fighting prowess of the Filipino Muslims." -- Renato Constantino, 1985 Due to the many requests for copies of the reprinted book which, ironically, have become as rare as the original, Bakbakan International has undertaken to publish the complete manuscript on the Internet so that we may be able to share with many this priceless record of our history.
