I'm so thrilled to share this lifestyle newborn session with you all! This adorable family was a dream to work with. They are SO sweet, their home is absolutely gorgeous and they have the cutest little ones, Hudson and Sloane!
I had the honor of capturing their newest addition, Sloane Marilynne. A sweet baby girl with a full head of thick brown hair, adorable round cheeks, and the cutest button nose. She gave me the most adorable expressions and even a few yawns and stretches throughout her session. I LOVE baby yawns, they just make me melt!
Sloane's nursery was the perfect blend of neutrals and light pinks. Walking into it made my day because light, pastel colors are some of the best companions to film and I knew the end results would turn out lovely.
Thanks to Baby Sloane's sweet family for allowing me to capture this sweet season of their lives!
Interested in having a sweet season of your life captured? Feel free to contact me.
These are just too precious! Well done!
Ah! Sloane is one of my favorite names. You did so great at capturing their love.
They're all so perfect! Thank you, thank you!!
SO good! I love our blog layout and that family is So stinkin sweet!
oh, these newborn photos are so dreamy! congrats to this beautiful family!

Commodity weakness weighs on stocks
Commodity price weakness has pushed the Australian share market lower as the big miners suffered sizeable falls.
Bell Direct equities analyst Julia Lee said falls in the resources sector had led the market down as the iron ore price hit a fresh decade low.
"It's not surprising given commodities prices," Ms Lee said.
The first shipment of iron ore from Gina Rinehart's $10 billion Roy Hill iron ore project was delayed because of commissioning and safety issues.
Ms Lee said the extra supply coming into the market was weighing on the iron ore price.
The world's biggest miner BHP Billiton lost 56 cents, or three per cent, to $18.19 and Rio Tinto dropped 96 cents, or two per cent, to $45.59.
Steep oil price falls also affected key players, with Woodside Petroleum down $1.16, or 3.8 per cent, to $29.46, Origin Energy fell 10 cents, or 1.8 per cent, to $5.55 and Oil Search was down 18 cents, or 2.2 per cent to $8.10.
Three of the big four banks were weaker, with ANZ down nine cents to $27.81, Westpac 19 cents lower at $32.91, Commonwealth 26 cents lower at $81.50 but the NAB was up four cents at $30.04.
On Wall Street overnight, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.9 per cent, the S&P 500 lost 1.1 per cent and the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.6 per cent.
* At the close on Thursday, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was 30.6 points, or 0.58 per cent, lower at 5,227.7.
* The broader All Ordinaries index was down 28.0 points, or 0.53 per cent, at 5,276.7.
* On the ASX 24, the December share price index futures contract was 53 points lower at 5,225, with 19,164 contracts traded.
* The price of gold in Sydney at 1700 AEDT was $US1053.70 per fine ounce, down $US14.30 on Wednesday's price of $US1,068.00.
* At 1615 AEDT, national turnover was 2.5 billion securities worth $5.5 billion.

Music review: La Musica Music Festival
La Musica Music Festival opens with an elegant, compelling performance.
By Edward Alley
| 4:58 p.m. April 6, 2017
Of the several music festivals in Sarasota that feature the performance of chamber music in addition to teaching and orchestral concerts, La Musica Music Festival, which opened its 31st season last week at the Sarasota Opera House, is strictly chamber music performance. This years series of four concerts opened with youthful compositions of three well-known composers, Mendelssohn, Webern, and Richard Strauss. Yes, youthful, even though Mendelssohn was all of 30 years old when he wrote his "Piano Trio in D minor," the opening work of the evening.
Overshadowed perhaps only by his magnificent Octet, Mendelssohn's D minor trio is one of his most performed chamber works, here played by Federico Agostini, violin, Antonio Meneses, cello and Derek Han, piano. After a somewhat staid and tentative beginning, the performance grew bolder in the later movements, especially the typical Mendelssohn Scherzo and Finale. However, the warm sounds of both violin and cello tended to be overpowered by the piano, especially in the forte sections.
Anton Webern's "Langsamer Satz" for string quartet introduced us to a Webern few knew existed. Composed before he delved into the atonal 12-tone world of composition, this piece is pure unabashed romanticism, complete with languid themes and lush harmonies, beautifully performed by Claudio Cruz and Cecilia Ziano, violins, Bruno Giuranna, viola and especially JeongHyoun Lee, cello. Composed in 1904 at the age of 21 and lost for years, only to be performed in 1962, the "Langsamer Satz" must have been quite a revelation for both players and listeners when it surfaced.
Closing this opening concert was the youthful "Piano Quartet in C minor" by Richard Strauss, given a rousing performance by Claudio Cruz, violin, Bruno Giuranna, viola, JeongHyoun Lee, cello, and Derek Han, piano.
Richard Strauss completed this quartet when he was 21, three years before he wrote his career-changing "Don Juan" for full orchestra, but it already has the sweeping melodies, rich harmonies and musical exuberance featured in his later works. Even though there are homilies to Brahms, his idol of the moment, the piece is pure Strauss, through and through. The thoroughly energetic and compelling performance radiated the energy and inspiration of the young Strauss, especially in the Scherzo which had hints of "Til Eulenspiegel," yet to appear in a few years. The lovely third movement was the precursor of an elegant Strauss song at its best, and the final Allegro Vivace allowed all to display their musical wares to the fullest.
All in all, a good opening for this venerable chamber music series, and it's unfortunate that the audience couldn't have been larger to enjoy this fine musical evening.

May 26, 2017 Adam Putnam, credit and debit card skimmers, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, gas pump skimming devices, gas skimmer legislation, gas stations, Uncategorized.
Skimmers such as this one found at a Florida gas station are used to steal credit and debit card info.
So far this year, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has found and removed 185 skimmers. Thieves place the devices on gas pumps to steal consumers' debit and credit card information.
The number of consumers victimized by each skimmer is estimated to be about 100 per device, with an average of $1,000 stolen from each victim, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam said Friday.
Check to make sure the gas pump dispenser cabinet is closed and has not been tampered with.
Use a gas pump closer to the front of the store. Thieves often place skimmers at the gas pumps farther away from the store.
Increasing the offense level of the crime, which affects sentencing guidelines.
Consumers who suspect that a gas pump has been tampered with should contact the gas station manager, local law enforcement or the department's consumer protection and information hotline at 1-800-HELP-FLA (435-7352) or, for Spanish speakers, 1-800-FL-AYUDA (352-9832).
The department regularly inspects gas stations and analyzes samples of petroleum products to ensure consumers are being offered quality products at a fair measure. For more information, visit FreshFromFlorida.com.

Lestrade to the Rescue
Journal of Inspector G. Lestrade
Having received no reply from either the Watsons or from Holmes, I determined to go to the island myself. Though I may well be (as Holmes has often chided), a sallow, rat-faced, dark-eyed, furtive-looking fellow, I am nevertheless, a jolly good detective and my gut feeling is that my Baker Street friends are in mortal danger. The telegraphical communication which arrived this morning from Sergeant Radish gave me a deal more than a bit of a turn, and for a moment my mind was in turmoil. Thankfully, turmoil is not a new experience for me and I dealt with it in a fitting and correct manner as outlined in the current edition of Police Procedures (Londen Edition).
I had entreated the pathologist Mister Stallworthy to investigate further into the possible identity of the dead person we had previously assumed to be Doctor Edward Armstrong, and in this respect had also sent a memo to Sergeant Radish to assist the doctor by any means possible.
Radish is not the most intellectual of coppers, but the man has a good heart and has seemingly moved heaven and earth (or earth, at least) in a bid to discover the truth. It turns out that the distant relative who came to identify Armstrong forgot to mention a rather significant piece of information which I have to say, sheds a light of a very different kind on the matter. Why the chap did not mention this at the time was a mystery, but the receipt of supplementary information explained his initial reticence, leaving no doubt as to his motives in concealing the truth. As Radish notes: It has been revealed that the Cousin from Cambridge is an inveterate shirt-lifter who often dresses up in ladies attire, goes waltzing off around the Old Town in the middle of the night, offering sexual favours to anyone with twopence-ha'penny to spare… This, to my mind explains everything.
Anyways, the upshot is that this shirt-lifting cousin did not want to admit that the real Doctor Edward Armstrong was in fact Doctor Edwina Armstrong, who, having found herself unable to obtain a position in General Practice, had masqueraded as a gentleman in order to further her career.
All of which suggests that the person who visited Mister Holmes was nothing more than an imposter, employed or otherwise persuaded to go to Baker Street and tell a certain story. I have no doubt that this was done entirely because of the reputation the famous detective has for digging out the truth. Whoever instigated this assignment knew Holmes couldn't be fooled by a mere woman and would sniff her out in a trice, in which case the game, as it were, would not have been afoot, but up, good and proper.
All of which (again) suggest that someone on the island is a woman. And not only that, but a woman who is pretending to be a different woman, and in fact may be doubly pretending to be a woman who is really a man. Or something like that.
It was with all of this going round in my tiny mind that I made the crossing to Huge Island in a rowing boat borrowed from an old sea dog named Captain Ahab (so-named due to his being from Wales).
It was getting on for noon when I steered the boat towards the jetty and tied her up. From the shore I could see nothing, so hurried up the incline towards where I surmised the house would be. A few minutes later I had reached the crest of the incline and stood on the edge of a vast lawn. Making my way across the grass, I kept to one side, concealing myself as best I could among the trees and weirdly shaped hedges. The house now lay in front of me, and pausing for a moment, I took in its vastness, marvelling in the knowledge that this once-grand edifice had been the scene of at least four murders.
Just as I started forward again, a terrifying scream broke the stillness and as if that were not enough, I recognised the voice – it was Doctor Watson.

Doctor in the House
Diary of Doctor J. Watson
Reaching the first landing, I looked out of the window and watched the others. Holmes and Mary were deep in conversation but had not yet made their move. Taking out the field glasses I'd borrowed from Holmes, I gazed at each of the other guests in turn – the General, Mr Lombardi, Billy Blah, Vera Claymore and Rogers. Apart from the latter, they were all sitting there, eyes closed and apparently completely oblivious to their surroundings. Of course, I knew that this could not be the case, since at least one of them must be the brains behind this ghastly affair and each of the others had killed, or intended to kill, someone else.
Just then, Holmes stood up and stretched lazily. He spoke to Mary and she too stood and made some indication of interest in the bird house that stood on the edge of the lawn, a few yards from the trees.
The two of them wandered over there, apparently chatting amiably with each other, though I could see the Great Detective's nose twitching as he cast his beady eyes around the garden.
Turning my attention back to the remaining five, I trained the binoculars on them and studied each one for a few moments. First there was Rogers, and in his case, a straightforward judgement could not be made – the man had lost his wife, or at least the person he thought was his wife, and if not that, the woman he was in league with. None of which could gloss over the fact of her being dead. (Of course, it was also entirely possible Frau Klopp had been working alone with her own motives, but she must still have had some involvement in the overall set-up inasmuch as she had been invited to the island along with her so-called husband as cook and butler in the employ of the so-called Mr Owen.)
General MacArthur was a concern to me purely because of his age. I could not imagine him bounding around stringing people up from trees and the like, though as a former soldier in the Crimea, he would be familiar with guns and most likely had experienced the taking of lives. Mr Lombardi too had served in the army, though I was unclear in what capacity, so he could not be ruled out as a professional killer. Vera Claymore in fact, was the only one of the five I could not contemplate in the role of murderer. She was thin and feeble-looking with a gait that suggested varicose veins or some other leg-related malady that caused her to limp as she walked. Even so, she had worked as a teacher and may well have been responsible for some fatal incident resulting in the termination of her employment (as was the explanation in Mrs Christie's novel).
Considering this detail, I also remembered that cardboard masks of Agatha Christie's face had been attached to the heads of each of the victims (expect for Klopp, whose watery demise had not allowed for this macabre ritual, though the mask was still present at the scene). But no mask was found on Tony Marston's body, which might suggest his killer had either ignored his or her instructions or had not included the item due to some other reason.
My musings on the matter were given a jolt as Tommy Rogers leaped out of his seat and began striding towards the icehouse. Lowering the glasses, I watched his progress and noted that Holmes and Mary were now loitering near the birdhouse but had also seen the butler's sudden departure.
None of the others had moved, but Miss Claymore was looking towards the house, openly watching me. I waved limply and moved out of her line of sight, but quickly ran up to the floor above to look out of the corresponding window and saw that she too had left her deck chair and was now making her way towards the house.
Between Rogers and Claymore, I'd expected the former to be the most likely to come after me, but now I was in a quandary. If Miss Claymore intended to do me harm, I should have to rethink my strategy, as I could not imagine putting a bullet in her dull, but youthful features.
Leaning over the banister, I heard the young woman's shoes clopping inelegantly across the hall floor below. Several seconds later her head appeared as she swung herself round onto the staircase and began to climb up towards me. It occurred to me she'd taken longer than expected to reach the stairs and as I stared down at her bobbing head, I saw that she must have made a detour – in her right hand she was carrying a large kitchen knife.

Making Plans for Watson
"Oughtn't we to discuss this with the others?" I said to Holmes in a low voice.
"Absolutely not," muttered the Great Detective. "Such a move would alert them to the extent of our suspicions, including, of course, the mastermind who's behind this whole thing. No, I have something quite different in mind." He gave me a sharp look, his piggy little eyes boring into me. "But you have a question, Watson?"
"How on earth..?" I spluttered, struggling to maintain a calm exterior for the benefit of the others.
He smiled smugly. "For the past several minutes you have been picking at the edge of your waistcoat with your thumb and forefinger – an activity you engage in only when pondering a problem or unanswered question."
I sniffed and shrugged as if his apparent mind-reading act had not in the least unsettled me. In fact, Sherlock's ability to seemingly identify exactly what I'm thinking at any given moment never fails to amaze me. "Well," I said, avoiding his gaze. "As it happens, I was pondering on the fact that as Doctor Armstrong's place on the island was taken by me, whoever Armstrong was supposed to murder has not, and presumably, will not, be murdered."
"Oh," said Holmes, his mouth dropping open. "Bugger."
"Hadn't you thought of that, then, Sherl?" said Mary, giving me a wink.
"For once, Mrs Watson, your husband has the better of me." He steepled his fingers and leaned his chin against them, eyes narrowed in thought.
"But the mastermind murderer will know that, anyway," added Mary. "So…"
Holmes looked up abruptly. "Of course, and has no doubt made alternative plans." His eyes slid across the faces of our companions – five now, not including ourselves. "I think we had better put my plan into action." He gave me an odd look, the sort of mournful look a person might expect from a long-time acquaintance when lying on his deathbed. "I should be obliged if you would do the honours, John."
"What are you talking about?" I said, striving to keep the anxiety out of my voice.
"As you so cleverly pointed out, old friend, apart from Mary and myself, who are somewhat superflous to the original guestlist, you – being a replacement for Armstrong – are the odd one out. If our killer's real intention is to do away with the three of us, I suspect he or she will have bumped you up the list. To take Armstrong's place in the order of…er…dead people."
"D'you mean to say that the killer himself, or herself, is going to attempt to murder me?" I said, with a distinct absence of enthusiasm.
"Well, I would," said Holmes.
"You surely don't expect poor Johnny to wander off by himself and await his own execution?" said Mary.
"That is precisely what I expect, my dear, though of course you and I shall be on hand to nab the culprit before he or she strikes the fatal blow." He took a moment to relight his Meerschaum and puffed away with an air of arrogant nonchalance.
I sighed. "Fine. Whatever."
Mary touched my hand. "Don't worry darling, I'm sure Holmes won't throw you to the wolves."
We spent the next few minutes going over Sherlock's proposal. The whole thing sounded a little too opportunistic to me and I couldn't imagine the killer would take the chance of getting away with another round of slaughter without first assessing the various permutations and possibilities from every angle. After all, each of the previous killings must have been carefully thought out first. Nevertheless, armed with my trusty revolver, I doubted anyone would get the better of me without at the very least incurring a substantial gunshot wound.
Holmes gave me a nod. I stood up and stretched, gazed around the garden and announced in a casual manner that I had a bit of a headache and was going for a lie down upstairs.
"Lie down?" said General MacArthur. "Bit of a chance, what? Likely get yourself killed." He hmphed, sniffed and shook his head. "Please yourself."
"I really don't think that's wise, Doctor," said Vera Claymore. She glanced at her neighbour nervously. "Don't you think, Mister Rogers?"
The butler had been gazing at the ground in front of his deck chair for the past few minutes. Now he looked up. "She's dead."
Vera leaned over and patted his hand. "She's in a better place, though."
Rogers sneered. "Fuckin jokin, aren't yer? Better place? Tch." He nudged her hand away and went back to staring at the lawn.
Miss Claymore gazed at me, her lower lip quivering, but she said nothing more.
"Well, I'll see you all later," I said. Then added, "I hope."
As I walked across the lawn towards the house, I had the odd feeling I was being watched. Obviously, the seven people behind me would be watching, but this was different, and the awful thought that we may have seriously underestimated the killer's strategy washed over me like a wave of sloppy shit. We had assumed all along that the mastermind behind all this was one of the people on the lawn, but what if it wasn't? What if this was all down to someone who we had yet to meet, and who up until this point, had remained very much out of sight? In that case, I mused, we were in a rather perilous situation and I might very well be walking to my death.

Mozilla says ISPs are lying to Congress about encrypted DNS
06 Nov 2019 6 Firefox, Google Chrome, Law & order, Mozilla, Privacy, Web Browsers
Previous: Ransomware attacks in Spain leave radio station in "hysteria"
Next: Smartphone and speaker voice assistants can be hacked using lasers
Mozilla on Friday posted a letter urging Congress to take the broadband industry's lobbying against encrypted DNS within Firefox and Chrome with a grain of salt – they're dropping "factual inaccuracies" about "a plan that doesn't exist," it says.
Both of the entities behind those browsers – Mozilla and Google – have been moving to embrace the privacy technology, which is called DNS over HTTPS (DoH). Also backed by Cloudflare, DoH is poised to make it a lot tougher for ISPs to conduct web surveillance; to hoover up web browsing activity and, say, sell it to third parties without people's consent; or to modify DNS queries so they can do things like inject self-promoting ads into browsers when people connect to public Wi-Fi hotspots.
Those are just some of the ISP sins that Mozilla listed in its letter, which urged the chairs and ranking members of three House of Representatives committees to examine the privacy and security practices of ISPs, particularly with regards to the domain name services (DNS) ISPs provide to US consumers.
DoH isn't a panacea – you can check out Paul Ducklin's explanation of the issues it raises in the Naked Security podcast below – but it promises to at least seriously gum up tracking and monetization of data.
In September, Mozilla announced that it would turn on DoH by default for users of the Firefox browser's desktop version in the US. Within days, Google issued a me-too, officially announcing its own DoH experiment in Chrome.
Unsurprisingly, the ISPs have sputtered, and not without some good reasons. For example, it's been argued that law enforcement can do less surveillance if they can get at histories of what potentially sketchy IP addresses people have sniffed at X years ago. Things have gotten pretty testy: Mozilla has drawn flak from the UK Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA), which called it an 'Internet Villain' for helping to block internet filtering policies in the UK and interfering with the government's internet filtering laws, particularly when it comes to age verification requirements to view porn.
(To help with cases such as that of the UK and its internet filtering requirements, Mozilla's DoH by default can be turned off.)
Mozilla says it's not surprising that the work it's been doing on DoH has prompted the ISPs to try to throw up roadblocks. One such was a letter sent to Congress by Big Telecom associations in September that, Mozilla said, was full of "factual inaccuracies."
In September, Ars picked apart the ISPs' claims, which were mostly about Google's DoH experiment with Chrome. The ISPs claimed, wrongly, that Google plans to automatically switch Chrome users to its own DNS service.
It's not. Its plan is: "check if the user's current DNS provider is among a list of DoH-compatible providers, and upgrade to the equivalent DoH service from the same provider." If the user-selected DNS service isn't on that list, Chrome wouldn't bump that user and instead would just leave their setup as is.
Mozilla's default DNS provider is Cloudflare, but given its small market share, that apparently isn't much of a concern to the ISPs.
Mozilla Senior Director of Trust and Security Marshall Erwin, who authored Mozilla's letter to Congress, told Ars that the arguments ISPs made to lawmakers – specifically, their claims about Google's plans – are "premised on a plan that doesn't exist." The intent is to sow fear, he said:
The focus of the lobbying effort has been on using Google as a boogeyman, given a lot of the antitrust concerns that exist today, to drive a lot of uncertainty about the potential implications of DNS over HTTPS.
To soothe some of that fear and doubt, Mozilla has published this FAQ about DoH.
For more details about the complexities and issues behind the new privacy technology, please do listen in as Paul Ducklin explains it in this Naked Security podcast (DNS-over-HTTP section starts at 31'36". Click-and-drag on the soundwaves below to skip ahead):

R. Dale Barrow says:
I'll trust my ISP not to sell my web browsing history to third parties as soon as they make DoH available *and* make sure people know about it. Until then: "Hello, Cloudflare."
Outfoxed says:
Mozilla has drawn flak from the UK Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA), which called it an 'Internet Villain' for helping to block internet filtering
Clearly your reading is not wide enough – a few days later a very very reputable site reported:
The ISPA has now officially and publicly backed down and taken Mozilla off the Internet Villainy shortlist.
True, here is the coverage of the climb-down:
https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/07/11/mozilla-arent-villains-after-all/
We're not suggessting here that Mozilla was villainous, or even that the flak was justified, just reminding everyone that the DoH thing ruffled a lot of feathers…
Lisa Vaas says:
ah, my bad, sorry I missed that.
Spryte says:
Mozilla's default DNS provider is Cloudflare, so I use Quad9. Where do I stand. Also I am in Canada. When will we be able to get this Mozilla option??
If you're not taking security and privacy into your own hands, whos hands is it in? the answer is probably no ones. For this reason and this reason alone we should all be using Firefox and turning on DoH.
DNS-over-HTTPS is coming to Windows 10
Mozilla increases browser privacy with encrypted DNS
DNS over HTTPS is coming whether ISPs and governments like it or not

Impact of Record-Breaking Floods in Venice
November 18, 20191 min read
Over the last week, Venice, Italy, has been hit with historic flooding. On Sunday, Nov. 17, water levels topped 1.5 meters for the third time since last Tuesday's 1.87-meter flood, which marked the worst in more than half a century.
Venice's mayor declared a state of emergency and has estimated the flooding damage at hundreds of millions of euros. The flooding is putting some of Venice's most historic architecture at risk and threatening some of the city's cultural marvels and priceless artwork.
The situation has also renewed the debates around the underwater barrier system—the Moses flood defense project—that has been under construction for more than 16 years and is not yet operational despite 5 billion euros of public funding.
Luca Cottini, PhD, associate professor of Italian Studies at Villanova University, is a scholar of Italian culture. He discusses some of the issues currently facing Venice.
"The flooding in Venice makes visible once again not just the fragility of Italian beauty and the vulnerability of Italy's geography, but also the inadequacy of Italian politics in the prevention and response to natural disasters," said Cottini.
Cottini also addressed the city's tourism and how tourists view the floods.
"The situation also illustrates the cynical nature of modern-day global tourism, observing high waters more as an attraction than a tragic event impacting invaluable monuments and the lives of many peoples," added Cottini.
To speak with Cottini, email mediaexperts@villanova.edu or call 610-519-5152.

Believe it or not Forex is very simple. The market tells you a story, it dos not lie to you.
The reality is, one can trade forex without any indicators using only the daily time frame.
The market tells you a story, it dos not lie to you.
I would say, however, that the story is a great endless collection of volumes similar in size to a Webster's dictionary. Haha!
I think one of my biggest mistakes is that I always anticipate a big reversal. It's going up and up and up… of course it's about to come down, so I SELL… Yes, Rina is going to get rich! Nope. It continues on and I lose my money lol. I think my new strategy this week is just to go with the flow. Let's see how that works.
Baby Pips flagged me as trying to spam or advertise to you, so they deleted my contact information that I posted to you.
I wrote somewhere on another post regarding being a Bull or a Bear.
Look at the daily chart time frame, decide what the larger trend is. If it's a Bullish market, be a Bull.
If it's a bearish market be a Bear. Until you fully understand the market, don't ping pong back and forth trying to catch the small moves or reversals.
Yes, I did give it to you. But I guess it's a good thing that Baby Pips restricts access, as there are a lot of scammers out here taking advantage of new traders. If possible, visit my last few posts. You may be able to figure out how I trade as I have attached my Trade Station Charts.
Believe it or not Forex is very simple.
Rina, Tono stinks of a scam or sales pitch since he's started posting today - that's why he's been flagged several time by members / admin.
First off all, I'm not here to sell anything to anyone.
With regard to Rina, I actually directed here to view my previous post that shows my trade station and explained to hear that she may be able to figure out how I trade.
The fact that it's impossible for you to believe that anyone is actually making money in forex only exposes your lack of trading ability.
As far as Screen shots are concerned, let's see yours.
it's always the losing traders that have so much to say.
In by the way, you're the only person that flagged me as a scammer.
Get a life and learn how to trade before you open your mouth with such ignorance.
Right Tono - Don't come here making wild claims with no proof.
@Rinarocks, you should definitely stay away from @TonoFX. This is coming from a long time babypips member who has seen his type come and go many times in the forums. Until he can back up any of his fantastical claims with a couple years of trading history, he isn't any different then the 100's of other hucksters that have already come through here.
I wish you the best on your Forex trading journey and hope to see you around the forums.
I started with just learning price action - explaining what each candle means etc. Then moved to chart patterns. That's still mostly how I trade, it's not "advanced" by any means but I like the fact that I can use it to actually trade and I somehow understand what's going on.
I agree with you re: being able to consider fundamentals when it comes to equities but it's also nice having a more technical approach with fx.
Have you been studying the school here? That's been really helpful for me.

Active Urban School
Active Urban School develops a coherent perspective of class with the foundation of active pedagogy. The new classroom design proposed by the program seeks to break the traditional structure, which have been facing by the teacher and students, in a configuration of a space power.
Fundación Luker Return to Awards
Active Urban School (EAU) has been designed and developed since 2002 in a partnership of Luker Foundation with the Manizales Mayoral Office. Manizales is a medium size city of Colombia, located in the center of the country in the coffee region. EAU aims at improving the quality of public education (preschool, elementary and high school) in low income areas in Manizales through the inclusion of active teaching methods in the classroom, the strengthening of the school's institutional management and the relationships with parents and the community. The project has a special emphasis in fostering social and emotional skills. Indeed, the Interamerican Dialogue (PREAL) recognized Active Urban School as a model that fosters non cognitive learning. In the last PISA test applied in 2012, Urban Active Schools obtained superior results (average) than all public schools around the country in three areas evaluated: Mathematics, Reading and Science. This model is inspired in the Escuela Nueva methodology which has been recognized by Unesco in the early nineties as one of the most innovative education initiatives around the world. Today the 58% of the public schools of Manizales benefited from Active Urban School and New School models.
As a general objective, the Urban Active School program seeks to improve the quality and efficiency of education in low-income areas of the city, based on the ideas of active pedagogies and lessons learned from the Escuela Nueva Model implemented in the rural regions in Colombia by the Coffee Growers Committee of Caldas (CDCC).
The specific objectives of the program focus on:
-	Building and implementing an active pedagogical model in the urban area of the Municipality of Manizales;
-	Improving school environments through human development programs and the provision of educational support materials;
-	Promote the development of basic coexistence skills in students and teachers of basic education;
-	Strengthening school management through counseling, training and accompanying the public schools.
In 2002 a public-private alliance between the Secretary of Education in Manizales (SEM) and the Luker Foundation was formed. From the beginning of the process, SEM was co-financing and supporting technically the development of Active Urban School model in order to contribute to improving the quality of formal education in the city. The alliance between the SEM and the Luker Foundation has been strengthened with the technical support from various entities.
The launching of Active Urban School in the city of Manizales was the result of a confluence of interests and efforts of several institutions that contribute to the quality of public urban education through the development of a new pedagogical approach.
Thanks to the new materials and pedagogical methodology and through exercise and practical application of the topics covered in the classroom, parents are getting involved in the academic development of their children.
One of the greatest problems faced during the implementation of the project was the lack of will and flexibility of the teachers to change and adapt to the new methodology, especially teachers from older generations. Although, positive school results and students´ eagerness for teamwork and implementation of new methods demanded change. The model itself has led teachers to change their attitude and to adapt to the new methodology.
Engagament
1. The need to initiate such programs with principals or with the governing boards, before driving classroom processes. It is required to carry out participative processes. This includes the annual planning of the intervention with participation of beneficiaries;
2. The importance of concentrating efforts on the activities and processes of greatest importance and impact. It is necessary to prevent the spread of educational institutions in consideration of a large number of projects;
3. The need to ensure a constant balance in the responsibilities assumed by the institutions of the alliance and other participating entities. As Gonz¡lez (2009) argues, the private sector can support the public sector, but not replace its constitutional obligation to lead the public service educational system;
4. The importance of requiring accountings to all alliance members, including beneficiaries.
Results based on the national and international tests show improved school performance of students involved in the EAU project:
- Better average results in national SABER tests for 3rd, 5th, 9th and 11th grades of the EAU schools than other public schools in the city;
- Better average results for EAU schools in international PISA 2012 tests than other public schools in Manizales and in other Colombian cities.
Evaluations conducted over the 11 years of the program's duration, by the research institutions CRECE and ECONOMETRIA, show the following results compared with investigated control groups.
Changes in the school environment:
- The enrichment of teaching practices;
- The strengthening of school organization;
- Improved coexistence (teachers-students relationship);
- The development of communication skills;
- Increased levels of student participation in classroom.
EAU schools show improved institutional capacity, better school management and school coordination. The impact of the Active Urban School project was recognized by the local authorities and the project has been included in the Mayor Government Development Plan in the part of public education policy, ensuring the long-term financial and technical support of the Secretary of Education in Manizales. The methodology promotes inclusion through teamwork and collaborative learning. Monitoring of the impact of EAU on gender issues is shown in the evaluation results of PISA 2012, presenting the reduction of the performance gap between boys and girls, achieving gender equality.
The sustainability strategy consists of generating installed capacity in teachers, teacher management and support team. This installed capacity influences the system to transform itself and generate learning units developing in favour of sustainability. The interventions lead to improved capacity building and development of the human capital. In recent years the investment in both resources and activities was limited to:
- Extending the model for other public educational institutions in Manizales;
- Strengthening the support team.

Council approves free $2,000 debit cards for qualifying businesses
Posted by Carlos Renteria on May 29, 2020
Qualifying Duval County businesses could soon receive a free $2,000 prepaid debit card from the city.
The Jacksonville City Council unanimously approved a bill May 26 that appropriates $9 million to fund 4,500 cards.
To qualify, a business must have fewer than 100 employees and show they've suffered a 25% or more reduction in revenue because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ordinance 2020-0247, filed as an emergency May 6 by District 5 Council member LeAnna Cumber, originally targeted small business owners with brick-and-mortar storefronts. She said that in addition to helping business owners, the bill would prevent more vacant commercial property in Jacksonville.
Council supported an amendment offered by Council member Randy DeFoor in the May 19 Finance Committee that added sole proprietors and 1099 contract workers who operate out of their homes eligible for the money so it could be used to pay their home mortgage, rent and utilities. It isn't required to spend the $2,000 debit cards on those expenses.
DeFoor said May 26 she's been contacted by constituents that didn't meet a two-employee minimum requirement in the city's $26 million COVID-19 small business relief program partnership with VyStar Credit Union.
Council members Joyce Morgan and Ron Salem said they heard the same complaint.
"I have a desire to help as many different people as we can," Salem said. "This group has been left out, and I think it's important that we try to be as inclusive as we can, throw the net out and try to catch everybody we can.
"There are a lot of people who work out of their homes that have been hurt by this pandemic and this legislation would help those people," Salem said.
Cumber said the program's qualifications and the payment distribution is modeled after the city's $40 million COVID-19 program that offered $1,000 debit cards to individuals. It was part of a $159 million city stimulus program funded by the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.
Like the city's $1,000 individual stimulus program, the $2,000 payment cards will be provided by Fidelity National Informations Inc.
Cumber has been working with city Chief Financial Officer Patrick "Joey" Greive on how businesses can apply online for the $2,000 cards.
Greive said May 19 that the cards will be mailed to business owners.
The $9 million is a reappropriation of what the Council approved to pay for the city's portion of the VyStar loan program, Cumber said.
That money was reimbursed in the $159 million CARES Act award and would be returned to the city operating reserve fund at the end of the fiscal year if unused.
One type of business is not eligible for the $2,000 debit card — adult entertainment services, including gentlemen's clubs.
The ordinance barred a long list of business types from receiving the money, which Council member Aaron Bowman called government overreach. He offered an amendment to exclude adult entertainment operations.
Cumber said exclusions in the city-VyStar program and other city grants establishes the precedent to exclude some business types.
In addition to adult entertainment businesses, the VyStar program excluded amusement parks, meat packing, marijuana and cannabis-related businesses and others.
Cumber successfully sponsored a bill in February that placed more restrictions on Duval County adult entertainment clubs and established a Sex Trafficking Survivors Leadership Council.
She said it would be "hypocritical" of her to vote for a bill that allows businesses that she believes promote violence against women and human trafficking to receive money from the city.
A business owner who previously qualified for the city's $1,000 stimulus program would be eligible for the $2,000 payment in the legislation passed May 26.

It's stupid. Of course it is. Hell, the name of the film is Dumb and Dumber To; if you go in expecting high art after knowing what it's called, we honestly don't know what to tell you. This is a stupid, silly and – yes – dumb little comedy… and, in all honesty, that's why it's so damn enjoyable.
Much like its predecessor, which is now unbelievably twenty years old (and for those about to mention the 2003 prequel Dumb and Dumberer, pipe down before you get hurt), its main goal is to throw every dim-witted joke at you while trying to get you to crack a smile, and succeeding to a certain degree. With today's modern obsession with having every major film be smart and engaging like most of Christopher Nolan's work, causing a sigh of relief is the fact that somewhere out there, filmmakers like the Farrelly brothers are still committed to making brain-dead material with that lack of pretence that somehow still manages to work in its own little way. This is different to, say, your typical Adam Sandler/Happy Madison production where their brain-dead material got in the way of everything else that makes a stupid comedy work, such as jokes and especially character; somewhere in between all the gross-out gags and the idiotic sense of humour, there has to be a balance otherwise it just looks like a group of oversized man-babies rolling in and drooling on piles of money (by the way, isn't that just Happy Madison in a nutshell?).
This film is far more enjoyable than anything Sandler and his partners in crime have mustered up in recent years, because it actually keeps the focus on what made Dumb and Dumber so memorable in the first place. What, you may ask? Why, Dumb and Dumber of course! Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels slip back into their respective roles of Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne with such ease you'd hardly think that time has gone by at all, and despite more wrinkles on their skin they're mentally younger than ever before, which – for a film called Dumb and Dumber To – can only mean joyful things for the paying audience. Carrey and Daniels still have an enjoyable chemistry and, despite some of their more dangerous pranks and selfish moments, still emit enough likability that you want to see them do well in the end. The film keeps itself fixated on whatever hair-brained scenarios they find themselves in, which is where a lot of the comedy comes from. Does it all work? Not really, there are one or two that simply don't meet the mark, and those who feel Carrey to always be mugging for the camera in all of his movies will DEFINITELY not like him here (though it bothers us none); but for whatever reason the sheer stupidity of these two characters is what makes them so entertaining to watch. Even at their cruellest, it doesn't feel intentional of them to be so mean; they're just a couple of morons who don't know any better. Hey, that's how they were in the original, so all is well and stupid.
Carrey and Daniels' antics are arguably the main reason anyone would go and see this film, so when the film feels obliged to throw in a more conventional plot in the mix, as was again the case first time around, it falls a little more flat. Now, we don't necessarily mean the core story of the two heading out to find Daniels' long-lost daughter (Rachel Melvin, a worthy competitor against Carrey and Daniels in the "acting stupid" ranks), that one plays out fine; it's more the B-plot, which is a surprisingly complex murder scheme involving the wife of a scientist (Laurie Holden) and the twin brother of a special forces operative (Rob Riggle, in a dual role as both). Once more, this is in keeping with the first film where the antics of the two protagonists somehow led them to become involved in a villainous scheme, but be honest with yourself: do you really give a crap about the villains? Of course not, because the main attraction is always the behaviour of these two very dumb individuals and not whatever else is going on. Same thing here, as you find yourself not caring about what they're doing or even why they're doing it; you're more invested in just the friendship of Harry and Lloyd than anything else, and unless it involves them directly then there's no reason to give a toss. Oh, and did we mention the film pauses at one point to focus on Holden feverishly slobber all over Rob Riggle's feet? Yyyyyup. She was in The Walking Dead, folks.
The plot matters not if you're just having a good time despite the silly material, and Dumb and Dumber To does offer an enjoyable fun ride for anyone who just wants to see an amusing comedy that doesn't require much thinking power. Fans of the first film will certainly find things to enjoy about it, from the brief return of Harry's iconic "Mutt Cuts" vehicle to a post-credits cameo from an antagonist from the first film, though for its harsher critics it will certainly not sway you. As an alternative to the Happy Madison line of dumb comedies, it's one that's worthwhile thanks to its fixation on the pairing of Carrey and Daniels as these two popular characters and a genuine sense of passion for its sheer stupidity. There's no cynicism on display here; if you desire to escape your real-world troubles then come along and see that no matter how tough it gets, at least you're not as dumb as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne.

Home Arts & Culture Dancing troopers to take space-themed South Tyneside Festival by storm
Dancing troopers to take space-themed South Tyneside Festival by storm
Steph Maguire
South Shields' Summer Parade will welcome some special guests from a galaxy far, far away this summer.
Following a Space Fantasy theme, the popular Summer Parade will once again fill the streets with colourful floats and costumes on 6 July, as part of the South Tyneside Festival, organised by South Tyneside Council.
And dancing stormtroopers, Boogie Storm, will be entertaining festival-goers when the parade culminates at Bents Park for an afternoon of free entertainment.
Boogie Storm wowed audiences when they appeared on Britain's Got Talent, with Simon Cowell securing the dancers' place in the final by choosing them as his Golden Buzzer act.
The group finished third in the ITV competition and have gone on to perform at venues and events around the world.
And Boogie Storm are not the only dancers heading to the park after the parade, with dancing slinkies from Australian theatre group, Bedlam Oz, and Titan the Robot giving unique performances during the afternoon.
Councillor Ken Stephenson, Mayor of South Tyneside, is confident the performers will draw a big crowd.
"The Summer Parade is always a fantastic day out for all ages and this year is shaping up to be one of our most impressive yet," said Councillor Stephenson.
"The Bents Park entertainment is a great way to finish the parade and we have some fantastic acts lined up.
"It is always amazing to see the streets of South Shields so full of colour and I can't wait to welcome visitors from all over the region and beyond to make the most of it."
One of the most popular elements of the South Tyneside Festival is the month of free Sunday concerts.
Marti Pellow, Gabrielle, Midge Are and the Lightning Seeds have all been announced as headliners.
The South Tyneside Festival is supported by BBC Newcastle 95.4FM and sponsored by Port of Tyne, Colmans Seafood Temple, South Tyneside College and The Sea Hotel.
The parade is also supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Jean-Michel Othoniel Solo Exhibition NEW WORKS
[ON-SITE] KUKJE GALLERY

Kukje Gallery is pleased to announce NEW WORKS , a solo exhibition of the French contemporary artist Jean- Michel Othoniel, on view from December 17, 2020, through January 31, 2021. Following Othoniel's first solo show at Kukje Gallery in 2016, this exhibition will be his second with the gallery and also his first held in the newly renovated K1 building. NEW WORKS will be installed across the two exhibition spaces on the ground floor of the building and will include glass sculptures, lithographs of watercolor drawings, and paintings which mark a new milestone in Othoniel's artistic practice. All of these new works were created during the lockdown caused by Covid- 19. The exhibition not only presents a "new " and emboldening body of work during this period of dis tress, but also embodies the artist's commitment to aesthetic contemplation and the immutable beauty that remains even during our current chaos.

Jean- Michel Othoniel's varied artistic vocabulary takes inspiration from spiritual practices and religious traditions rooted in different cultures and generations, as well as from his own personal experiences. Employing "transformable" materials such as gl ass, sulfur, and wax, the artist deftly uses a wide range of techniques and experiments that can implement "acts of intervention," where materials evolve and change in form through the application of external forces such as fire and air. Additionally, Othoniel has expanded the boundaries of his practice by collaborating with skilled craftsmen based in Italy, Japan, India, and Mexico.

Facing the streets of Samcheong-dong through its corner windows, the first of the two galleries in K1 showcases new works from the ongoing series Precious Stonewall. Created in dialogue with Indian glass artisans, the title of the series borrows from the historic Stonewall Riot (1969), when the LGBT community stood up against police violence and discrimination in New York City. The new major body of sculptures is a result of Othoniel's latest research into glass— material the artist most identifies with — and his first attempt at this level of architectural scale. On a journey to Firozabad, India, in 2010, the artist was deeply impressed by local craftsmen working with glass under sweltering heat, which prompted the artist to learn traditional glassmaking techniques of India and together design a new unit of composition: a glass brick. The artist was also struck by the Indian custom of piling bricks prior to building a house, a gesture he repeatedly witnessed throughout the duration of his travels in India. Contemplating the meaning of this distinctive serial form, the artist adopted the construction unit of brick as a formal element of his artistic vocabulary. For Othoniel, the brick is one of the most rudimentary and universal elements shared by all humanity, and symbolizes the primitive yet essential desire for "living." By reinterpreting the brick into the fragile material of glass, Othoniel brings attention to the innately paradoxical character of the material, as being both solid and precious. For NEW WORKS , Othoniel presents a new version of Precious Stonewall using two distinctive colors. Shown alongside this work in the center of the exhibition space is Stairs to Paradise , which is constructed with blue glass bricks forming a set of stairs. The ethereal work captures the human desire to reach heaven or paradise, framing how the humble modular unit of the brick has led the artist to go beyond sculpture, morphing into an architectural installation that transforms the gallery space.

The passage that connects the first and second exhibition spaces showcases a series of lithographs made from original watercolors that correspond to Precious Stonewall . Recalling the glass paintings produced by the twentieth-century German artist Josef Albers during his years as a teacher at the Bauhaus, the lithographs illustrate Othoniel's shared passion for color, one of the basic elements of art. A simple composition of two colors — translucent and dark blue, yellow and emerald green, blue and gray, and so on — serves as a frame for the viewer to experience Othoniel's unique way of seeing the world of abstraction beyond a mere representation of sculptural works.
Featured in the second gallery space is a series of sculptures and paintings depicting roses. The rose is a flower which has long played a key role in Othoniel's practice and symbolizes his great admiration for nature, often reappearing in his w ork. As a testament to how the flower has served as an important theme in Othoniel's artistic vocabulary, the exhibition will feature six pieces from his La rose du Louvre paintings, four new rose paintings, and four rose sculptures. La rose du Louvre paintings are exceptionally meaningful to the artist as they were recently made part of the permanent collection of the Louvre Museum after having been produced as commissioned works for the thirtieth anniversary of the I. M. Pei-designed glass pyramid in 2019. Othoniel has a long relationship with the iconic museum, and after an extensive study of their vast collection, he discovered a rose in Rubens' The Wedding by Proxy of Marie de' Medici to King Henry IV . This form was then transformed into an abstracted version of the rose and painted in black ink on a field of white gold leaf. Also shown are rose sculptures that further epitomize Othoniel's interest in flowers. Three rose sculptures from the series of Rose of the Louvre , sharing a similar formality with th e artist's earlier mirrored glass sculptures, are coated in pink, highlighting the vitality embedded in the iconic blossom. The black rose, on the other hand, is colored with a dense black matte, thereby creating a powerful tension between the two symbolic flowers.
This highly symbolic exhibition will provide an opportunity to explore how "transformation" and "metamorphosis" serve as central elements in the artist's practice and how particular materials play a poetic role in his vocabulary. By transforming the everyday, universal unit of bricks into the luxurious material of glass, Othoniel highlights the contrast between strength and fragility. Further, Othoniel transforms the original quality of nature contained in his dynamic roses by explicitly playing with the internal and external, mirroring, and light and dark. His expansive artistic experimentation allows the viewer to contemplate timeless and passionate beauty, and invites the audience to immerse themselves in the artist's uniquely wondrous and symb olic world.

Born in 1964 in St. Étienne, France, Jean-Michel Othoniel now lives and works in Paris. From 1985, before graduating from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts, Cergy -Pontoise in 1989, he actively exhibited sculptures, installations, and media works. Othoniel received international recognition after his participation in dOCUMENTA IX (1992) in Kassel, Germany, where the artist showcased his groundbreaking sulfur sculpture. In 2000, Othoniel received his first public commission to transform the Parisian subway station Palais-Royal – Musée du Louvre in celebration of its hundredth anniversary, for which he installed Le Kiosque des Noctambules , made of Murano glass and aluminum. In 2015, the Palace of Versailles welcomed the artist's Les Belles Danses as the first permanent installation inside its gardens. In 2019, Othoniel was commissioned to create La rose du Louvre by the Louvre Museum, and the original paintings remain permanently in the collection and in situ.
Recent major solo exhibitions include Nudos Salvajes, Arte y Matematicas (2019) at the Centre Culturel Néstor Kirchner, Buenos Aires; Motion – Emotion (2018) at Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal; Face à l'obscurité – Facing Darkness (2018), Musée d'art contemporain de Saint Etienne; Géométries Amoureuses (2017) at Centre Régional d'Art Contemporain d'Occitanie and Pyrénées – Méditerranée à Sète; Invisibility Faces (2015) at Goetheanum, Dornach; and Jean-Michel Othoniel: Secret flower sculptures (2015) at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston. Othoniel has also participated in numerous group exhibitions at institutions including the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (2019); Musée des beaux-arts de Caen (2019); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2018); Grand Palais, Paris (2017); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2015); and Bass Museum of Art, Miami (2014).

Q: Jhipster JDL Is There CI-CD language that can be used in the JDL Like Deployment I noticed that the generator supports jhipster ci-cd & the jdl supports deployment, but could not find any documentation on whether the jdl supports ci-cd & if it does what the language is.  Seems this would be part of the documentation and JDL if available via the generator?

A: I think this is out of scope for the JDL (at least currently), it describes itself as handling "your applications, deployments, entities and their relationships"
Here is the parser for the JDL language and I don't see anything regarding continuous integration, so I don't think it's an undocumented feature.
You could make the feature request here

As attorneys, we serve as officers of the court and members of a profession that demands professionalism and ethical standards. Meaning, there are steps we must take to safeguard our own livelihood and those of our clients.
Whether it's looking for a fresh start, a career transition, or you're finally stepping into retirement, leaving a law firm demands your attention and planning to properly close one chapter and start the next. Yet, don't be discouraged or overwhelmed. Keep looking ahead and know that working smarter now to wind-up your matters will bring comfort and security so you can move ahead in your new role (or relax into your retirement, as the case may be).
Dust off that partnership agreement to first determine your obligations to your firm and partners, including any timing barriers that may impact the order of operations or timeline of your transition. Also, your ethical rules and opinions (e.g. ABA Formal Opinion No. 99-414) may give direct guidance as to what steps must be taken. The ARDC provides a great guide to your ethical requirements.
Consult with these materials from the start to determine what steps you need to take to formulate your game plan. How are you going to best protect your interests, your clients' interests, and meet your obligations to your exiting firm, all while following the ethical rules and adhering to any contractual constraints?
If you're opening a new shop after your departure, you'll be doing all you can do to avoid too much lag time between jobs. Even if you've developed an income reserve to cushion the impact over the time, it can be stressful and risky to not have your new enterprise ready for launch. But don't forget, you still have a fiduciary duty to your old firm too.
This fiduciary duty was examined by the Illinois Supreme Court in Dowd & Dowd, Ltd. v. Gleason, 693 N.E.2d 358, 181 Ill.2d 460, 230 Ill.Dec. 229 (Ill., 1998), and is worthy of review for departing lawyers. Lawyers who are preparing to leave a law firm face a dilemma, caught between the fiduciary obligations they owe the other members of their firm, on one hand, and the duty of being able to adequately represent clients who choose to follow them to their new place of employment, on the other hand. Id, 693 N.E.2d at 364.
In summary, Dowd concluded that "preliminary preparations" such as securing office space, utilities, and even applying for a new business line of credit with a bank were not in conflict to their fiduciary duties to the firm. However, any soliciting of clients from the departing firm is a clear violation of your fiduciary duty to your partners, even those clients you may have brought the firm and personally represented. Id, 693 N.E.2d at 366-67. The court extended such a breach to employees as well, stating that if "departing members usurped a corporate opportunity by hiring for the new firm persons who had been interviewed for positions at the [old firm, this] … could also support a claim for breach of fiduciary duty." Id, 693 N.E.2d at 367.
At some point, the firm's clients and the world will know of the organizational changes – so, how and when? When determining the answer to both questions, keep your clients' interests ahead of all others. They are the sole gatekeepers to control who acts as their counsel. For example, you do not have the authority to merely deal out or barter client files of which stay and which go with you, as if they are bargaining chips.
If possible, the best practice may be to formulate a joint letter to your clients from the old firm and you, to be communicated immediately after your departure. This way you have made prompt notice to your clients and you have done so after you have officially departed from the firm to protect yourself from claims of solicitation of clients going forward.
the departing lawyer must not disparage the lawyer's former firm.
Illinois Supreme Court Rule 756(c) requires you to notify the ARDC of any change of address within 30 days of such change. You may easily update your information on the ARDC website. Additionally, do not forget to notify the Clerk of the Illinois Supreme Court of the dissolution or formation of any professional service corporation, professional association, limited liability company or limited liability partnership, as permitted under Rule 721.
Consider, at the decision and direction of your clients, how you might be preceding or withdrawing from cases that have pending litigation, depositions, hearings, or other activity before courts, entities, or involve opposing counsel and other parties. Where appropriate, request and communicate all continuances or substitutions of counsel (as allowed in certain cases) and follow-up should court ordered confirmation be needed. See ILRPC 1.16-1.17.
Along with your required notice duties above, you'll want to update the rest of the world with your new career transition including your bar associations, alumni associations, and other professional groups. Whether sending out an email blast to your contact list or updating your social media profiles, now is your chance to make a quality first impression with your peers, past clients, current clients, and prospective clients. Just as you have had a game plan from number one of this list, you would be wise to develop a marketing plan to launch your new profile in the right direction.
To prevent neglect of client matters in the event of a sole practitioner's death or disability, the duty of diligence may require that each sole practitioner prepare a plan, in conformity with applicable rules, that designates another competent lawyer to review client files, notify each client of the lawyer's death or disability, and determine whether there is a need for immediate protective action. See Illinois Supreme Court Rule 776, Appointment of Receiver in Certain Cases.
Illinois ARDC has resources to help guide you on how to setup a succession plan. Likewise, the Illinois State Bar Association has a great list of articles, resources, and sample documents for succession and transition planning.
