Fiddling with your iPhone behind the wheel can get you fined across much of the nation. But many states are more than happy to tweet you with up-to-the-minute directions on how to steer clear of a traffic jam.
It is a mixed signal that some safety experts and politicians say could be dangerous.
"You shouldn't be fiddling around with any kind of electronic gadget in your car while driving," said Minnesota state Rep. Frank Hornstein, who helped write his state's no-texting-while-driving law.
Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have banned all texting while driving, and eight others prohibit texting by younger drivers only, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.
Many of these laws essentially bar people from fooling with their smart phones in any way behind the wheel; in some cases, just reading from a mobile device is against the law.
Some supporters of text-messaging bans say that states that provide traffic information via Twitter are undermining these laws.
"I would guess that the states wouldn't intend to be sending a mixed message, but it sounds like it could be a mixed message," said Judie Stone, president of the Washington-based Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety.
State transportation officials say they are not encouraging people to get online behind the wheel. They say drivers should read their tweets before hitting the road.
In Washington state, for example, where citizens and transportation officials can exchange messages about the latest traffic, the feed includes regular reminders not to use the service while driving. "Know before you go," said one feed this week.
Drivers should "check our Web site before leaving. If you're at your office, before you leave and there's an issue on the roadway, it might alter your travel plans home," said Randy Ort, spokesman for the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department.
The Arkansas ban on texting while driving goes into effect Oct. 1; this week, the state became the latest to provide road conditions via Twitter, the microblogging service that lets people read and send messages of 140 characters or fewer.
Other places offering traffic information via Twitter include: California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia.
The apparent conflict results from two arms of government with seemingly good intentions: transportation departments that want to help motorists cope with traffic, and legislatures that are worried about the deadly consequences of distracted driving.
While Washington state lets motorists tweet about traffic conditions, in most states the flow of information is one-way – from state officials to drivers. Some states, such as New York and Indiana, send lots of up-to-the-minute information. Others just tweet intermittently, or reserve Twitter for emergencies. Mississippi, for example, intends to use its service during hurricane evacuations.
Maine has employed Twitter only to update drivers on an interstate highway project in the Portland area. Nebraska plans to use Twitter during winter weather emergencies. Oregon officials notify drivers about emergency road closings only.
"We don't want people reading their tweets while they're driving," said Sally Ridenour, spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Transportation.
In Washington state, the 6,200 users can also request estimated travel times, mountain pass reports and waiting times at the Canadian border. Some users apparently just want to chat.
That kind of exchange, if conducted by drivers behind the wheel, troubles some safety experts.
The dangers of texting and driving are well documented. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found in July that when truck drivers texted, their risk of a collision was 23 times greater. Dialing a cell phone and using or reaching for an electronic device raised the risk of collision about six times in cars and trucks.
A 17-year-old Eureka, Ill., high school student was killed in June when she drove off the road while sending a message to friends. A train wreck in California last year left 25 people dead, including the train operator, who was texting at the time.
Seattle resident Aaron Woo often checks traffic conditions on his phone using the Twitter feed from the state's transportation department – sometimes, he said, while driving.
Washington resident Eric Zinn said he, too, checks the Twitter traffic updates on his phone, though usually not when he is driving.
Does he worry other people will be doing it behind the wheel?

Scheeler Selected as Landmark Conference Softball Player of the Week
TOWSON, Md. --- Moravian College freshman pitcher/designated player Alexandria Scheeler has been selected as the Landmark Conference Softball Player of the Week for her performance last week.
Scheeler, who earned her second Landmark Conference Player of the Week honor of the spring, hit .550 to help No. 14 Greyhounds to a 6-0 for the week as the Hounds clinched the program's 25th straight postseason appearance. Scheeler was 11-for-20 at the plate with three runs, four doubles and six RBIs as she hit safely in all six games. She added a .571 on-base percentage and a .750 slugging percentage. Scheeler also had a 3-0 mark and a 1.00 ERA with four runs, just three earned on 20 hits and three walks to go with three strikeouts in 21 innings of action in the circle. She also recorded one putout and six assists in seven chances in the field.
"Alex has been very consistent both at the plate and in the circle as she continues an outstanding freshman season," stated Head Coach John Byrne, who has guided Moravian to at least 23 wins in each of his 26 seasons leading the program. 'Alex has also had some timely hits to score runs including a three-RBI in the second game at the University of Scranton on Sunday to give us a seventh inning lead to sweep another doubleheader."
The Greyhounds, who are 23-3 on the year, are scheduled to return to action on Thursday, April 11 when the squad hosts rival Muhlenberg College in a non-conference doubleheader beginning at 3:00 p.m. at Blue & Grey Field in Bethlehem.

Frame Differences: The "Original" and "Replica" versions have identical frame geometry. However, the "Original" versions have better welds than the "Replica" versions.
Gusset: Gusset does not have a smaller gusset hole on the right side like KZ's and Version 1 KYZ's.
Notes *Updated*: . There is a debate out there whether the ET and the KYZ are the same frame or not. Most believe (because of an ad/shipping form on the net) that the ET is a high tensile steel frame. However, through our research, we are starting to believe that the "Original" versions were Tri-Moly frames while the "Replica" versions were High Tensile steel as we have put them side by side and weight tested them. When compared side by side, it is clear that the 2 models are far from being similar with regards to quality. This would put to rest the theory that KYZ's and ETs were not the same frame. We believe they were, but only the "Original" versions. We will upload side by side comparison photos along with weight / other information soon. This research is still under investigation.
Collectibility: Due to the increased demand in the hobby and scarcity of supply, even the Apollo version is a sought after ET by collectors these days.

En France, sous l'Ancien Régime, le lit de justice est une séance solennelle du parlement par laquelle le roi ordonnait à cette assemblée d'enregistrer les édits et ordonnances qu'elle avait contestés par l'usage de son droit de remontrance.

Étymologie
La locution « lit de justice » est attestée à la fin de  : d'après le Trésor de la langue française informatisé, sa plus ancienne occurrence connue se trouve dans le Roman des deduis, un traité de chasse de Gace de la Buigne dont la rédaction fut commencée après  et achevée entre  et .

Définition
Le lit de justice est au sens littéral un lit d'apparat dans lequel le roi prend place. Par métonymie, il désigne une action de la justice royale à la source et à l'origine de toute autre action de justice. Puisque le parlement ne juge qu'au nom du roi, le parlement, si le roi se présente en personne, perd immédiatement sa qualité de juge pour redevenir un simple conseil et une simple chambre d'enregistrement, suivant l'adage :  (). La procédure sert à enregistrer des actes importants, comme une déclaration de régence ou, inversement, de déclaration de majorité du roi. Elle sert également au roi à imposer sa volonté à des magistrats qui se révèlent réticents, et donc à leur faire enregistrer des édits auxquels ils avaient l'audace de s'opposer, alors qu'ils n'existent qu'en tant que délégués de la justice du roi.

Mais le lit de justice pouvait également tenir lieu de véritable cour constitutionnelle du Royaume, notamment pour ce qui concernait l'application des traités internationaux ; tout traité qui n'était pas conforme aux Lois du royaume pouvait se voir censuré d'un ou plusieurs articles. Ce fut le cas sous  qui évita à la France la perte de la Bourgogne en faisant déclarer par les Pairs que cette province, première pairie du Royaume, était inaliénable.

Le lit de justice peut se dérouler dans tout parlement du royaume et le roi s'y fait alors souvent représenter par le gouverneur de la province concernée. En pratique, il devient une particularité du parlement de Paris après le règne de . Une séance non annoncée s'appelait séance du roi en son parlement.

Cérémonial

Il se tient normalement dans la Grand-Chambre du Parlement. Le roi, après avoir fait ses dévotions (à la Sainte-Chapelle, pour le parlement de Paris), entre dans le parlement accompagné du chancelier, des princes du sang, des ducs et pairs, des cardinaux et des maréchaux. Il prend place sur le trône surmonté d'un dais (d'où l'expression « lit de justice »), situé dans un coin de la salle et la dominant. Il commence par prononcer quelques mots puis passe la parole au chancelier par la formule consacrée :  Le chancelier donne alors lecture d'une déclaration royale.

Signification contemporaine
Le lit de justice, au sens contemporain, est une expression du juriste français Georges Vedel, désignant le pouvoir constituant du peuple souverain, face au juge constitutionnel. Ce « lit de justice » est constitué par la modification de la Constitution pour infirmer une décision du Conseil constitutionnel.

C'est ainsi que certains traités internationaux, contraires à la Constitution, ont pu être ratifiés (traités de Maastricht, d'Amsterdam, Cour pénale internationale). Ce lit de justice demeure en tout état de cause facultatif puisque l'on peut abandonner le projet de ratifier le traité. Il peut se manifester par la voie du référendum ou par la réunion du Parlement en Congrès, incarnation de la volonté générale, notamment lorsque ce dernier est convoqué par le président de la République.

Par ailleurs, la réunion du Parlement en Congrès à Versailles est le seul moment prévu par la Constitution, lors duquel le Président de la République peut s'adresser directement aux deux chambres.

Right now, you are 2/4 (Paladin/Oracle). Your oracle has just gotten 2nd level spells. Is adding 2 more paladin levels giving you more power than adding 2 levels of Oracle. You would not be getting 3rd level spells until 10th level, as opposed to 8th. Ultimately, its your choice. Play what is fun for you. I could have switched characters to play a straight sorcerer, but I liked the abilities I got from just 2 levels of bard. Later in life, after the adventure path ends, my character will probably add back a level or two of bard. But not now. Right now, I am more useful playing strict sorcerer.
Over the next two levels, Oracle will give you access to 3rd lvl cleric spells. Not much else, but access to a whole new spell list, imo, is worth more than fear immunity or removal of conditions, especially considering 2nd lvl Soothing Word spell. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/soothing-word. There are other considerations; that's just my opinion.

With medical technology innovations in particular, involving different stakeholders is very important. For example, they differ in role (e.g. user vs buyer vs payer).
You need to know exactly what the problem is and how the fit is with the proposed solution. Not only needs to be analysed if the end-user, e.g. a medical specialist, encounters the problem that the solution aims to solve, also the considerations they might have for ultimately using it, how it affects others such as supporting nurses and how the workflow might be altered to anticipate on implementation barriers.
In this workshop, experts from NLC will give more insights on how such issues may be addressed.
We look forward to meeting you on November 1!

The Gin Gin Mule is an important drink to me, and has been since I first encountered it 8 years ago. I would like to say I discovered it while sitting in Pegu Club (flash website warning), doing something really sophisticated, because that's where this drink was created by master mixologist and owner Audrey Saunders.
I would like to say that, but it's not the way it happened. I was on a flight to or from somewhere, and sitting on the runway at La Guardia reading the airline magazine. That's what we used to do, before iPhones and iPads, and always on everywhere high-speed wireless networks. We read airline magazines, and when that ran out the we read the Sky Mall, and briefly contemplated buying an outdoor loud speaker poorly disguised as a rock. And since this was before the Airline Passenger Bill of Rights we sometimes sat on the tarmac until all available reading material was exhausted, and then finally we would look at that spreadsheet or presentation that was the reason for the trip in the first place.
So, I saw the Gin Gin Mule recipe and a nice write-up on Ms. Saunders in an airline magazine. For some reason, perhaps because Pegu Club looked so comfortable while I was stuffed into an airline seat with limited air conditioning, or perhaps because the drink seemed so exotic and culinary, I was moved to tear out the page and make it as soon as I got home. It didn't disappoint.
Spicy homemade ginger beer, lime, mint, gin, and just enough sweetness to balance it all out. It was a revelation for me. I moved away from just making gin and tonics as a summer time drink, but more significantly it made me look at mixology and cocktails in a whole new light. This drink involved grating ginger root, and making ginger beer. This was cooking.
In the years since, I've tweaked it a bit. The original insisted on homemade ginger beer, and sometimes I do that. However, it's gotten easier to find really spicy, Jamaican style ginger beers in the market. Not only does that make the drink easier to make, but I like the carbonation as well. Mixing club soda into a drink made with homemade ginger beer just dilutes it, and running ginger beer through your soda siphon is a recipe for a sticky, funky mess.
A couple points about bottled ginger beer – the sweetness ranges from barely sweet to cloying, and the spicy-ness has a similar range. If you are using a pre-made ginger beer, taste the drink before you add all of the simple syrup. Use just enough to muddle the mint, and reserve the rest to stir in as needed.
Muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. If using a bottled ginger beer for the first time, reserve 1/2 ounce (15 ml) simple syrup to stir in as needed.
If using homemade ginger beer, add to the cocktail shaker with muddled ingredients. If using bottled or carbonated ginger beer, wait to add it so that you don't loose the bubbles, or blow cocktail all over yourself when you remove the shaker cap.
Add gin to the ingredients in the shaker, along with 2 cups of ice. Shake well. Strain into tall highball glass filled with fresh ice. If using carbonated ginger beer, add it now and stir it in. Test for sweetness, and add simple syrup as needed.


Several members of the Baltimore Camera Club headed to Longwood Gardens today. It was a beautiful spring like day and the gardens conservatory was a bit crowded. I made a few flower shots and then went into the Grand Ballroom and decided to make some HDR images of the beautiful room. I spent most of my time there as the frequent visitors passing in and out would interrupt my sequence of bracketed images which were already taking a lot of time due to the light range in the scene, bracketing 4 stops down to get detail in the shadows at f22 took some time when the noise reduction kicked in as well.

David Pisoni, the minister for Industry and Skills, visited Port Lincoln on April 10 to announce new programs for local live music, meet with business owners to discuss skilled workforce requirements, and talk to students about future careers. His announcement of new program RAMP, or the Regional Accelerator Music Program, will provide a grant fund of $100,000 for regional music needs. "There are great things happening across the South Australian regional music sector...and that's why RAMP is being developed," he said. "Port Lincoln is no stranger to live music, whether that's through gigs at the Port Lincoln Hotel, Sound City, the Nautilus Arts Centre, at the annual SALT Festival or as active participants of last year's Guitars in Bars tour." Minister Pisoni launched the round table event, which is one of many occurring in regional areas across the state. "We want to identify any barriers, and identify any enablers for regional live music," he said. "We will tailor to each region's needs, and there will be a small pool of money to enable that to happen." He said Liquor Licensing reforms had also given more avenues for live music to thrive, and also announced a 'clip combat' competition, a 'battle of the bands' style competition that considered both the music and the video clip produced. He said the boost to live music would have a "two-pronged" outcome, giving tourists more reasons to visit the area, and providing locals with experiences that might otherwise only be available in metro areas. "We want our regions to be vibrant," he said. "It's about quality of life, and opportunities for young people." Minister Pisoni also held a round table for people in industries that employed apprentices and trainees, who put forward questions to the minister about concerns they have locally. The Minister said state apprentice numbers had dropped by 55 percent since 2014, but said over the last 12 months the government had "revitalised" the Training and Skills Commission, and were looking to further identify where holes and shortages were. One local employer said that his biggest issue is retaining apprentices he has trained from bigger businesses in the mining industry, who were then employing the skilled workers he had. Mr Pisoni said he'd like to review ratios of employees versus apprentices compared to other states, and look at adjusting them. "The best way not to lose workers is to have more tradespeople," he said. "We don't have the ability to compel businesses to employ people, but we can make it easier to employ apprentices."

4-Word Review: Terror in the skies.
During a major snowstorm at Chicago's Lincoln International Airport manager Al Bakersfield (Burt Lancaster) must scramble to keep the place open while trying to get a disabled jet plane that is stuck in the snow off the runway. Meanwhile on a flight headed for Italy there's the mentally unhinged Guerrero (Van Heflin) sitting with a bomb in his briefcase set to go off and explode the airplane and killing everyone inside, so that his family back home can collect on the insurance money.
The film is based on the best-selling novel by Arthur Hailey and despite some critics, like Pauline Kael, hating it for its soap opera-like dramatics I still came away feeling it was perfect crackerjack entertainment. The characters on the plane are quite diverse with unique problems and personalities making them seem like real people that the viewer becomes genuinely concerned for. The special effects, particularly those done inside the plane, are effective and the film has a nice dramedy balance.
The only drawback, and I hesitate to bring this up as I think they did the best they could've done under the circumstances, are the special effects dealing with the snow storm. It was shot at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport during the winter of 1969, but unfortunately the whole time the film crew was there the weather remained sunny forcing them to eventually have plastic snow shown falling while the in the background the sky remains crystal clear and sunny. The snow shown falling during the nighttime scenes is equally problematic. I resided for many years in the North Country and I know that when it snows at night the sky gives off a bright white glow and it's never pitch black like it is here.
The film was considered innovative at the time for its use of the split-screen particularly when it would show people talking on the phone to each other. Director George Seaton wisely doesn't overplay this and uses the device sparingly for the most part however the segment where Lancaster is shown in one square talking to his wife, who is in another square along with their two daughters who each pop-up in their own individual squares it starts to resemble the opening to 'The Brady Bunch'.
The acting by the female performers is quite strong. I was really impressed with Jean Seberg, her career started back in 1958 when she beat out 18,000 other applicants to get the starring role in Otto Preminger's Saint Joan despite her lack of acting experience and although her performance in that film was lambasted by the critics I felt here she was solid and she could've easily carried the film during the scenes at the airport without Lancaster's presence, who plays her boss, being needed at all.
Jaqueline Bisset is equally good as the stewardess who knows how to think on her feet. I liked how this role didn't take advantage of her looks or sexiness and instead kept it focused solely on her dramatic acting ability and I loved her shoulder length hair cut here as opposed to her really long hair style that she usually sports. Helen Hayes is hammy as the old lady stowaway, which netted her an Oscar, but Maureen Stapleton, who was also nominated for best supporting actress, is quite good too. Her talents lie more in her expressive face particularly the moment when she looks out the airport window and witnesses the plane carrying her husband, who she knows has a bomb, take off.
Dean Martin is excellent on the male end. Typically he comes off as tipsy and laid-back, but here he surprisingly takes the reins and helps propel the picture. George Kennedy is also surprisingly strong. Most of the time his presence amounts to nothing more than token supporting parts, but here he plays the gruff, brash airline mechanic to great effect and could help explain why his character was the only one to appear in all four airport movies.
The film does come off like it was released in the '50s instead of the 70s by having a cast that was mostly past their prime, but it's by far the best disaster flick from the '70s, and there were a lot of them, as well as better than any of the three sequels that followed it.

I originally saw this movie way back when and then just again 4 or 5 years ago. It was the better one of the series

It may be the best of the series, but that's little recommendation. It's slow! The relationship between Martin and Bisset, Lancaster and his shrew wife played by Dana Wynter and Tanya Livingston played by Seberg are sooo! clichéd and have no business in this disaster soaper! Barbara Hale, Barry Nelson, Llyod Nolan provide more unnecessary baggage.

Innovative in the use of split screen! A cliché by 1970. Have you forgotten Pillow Talk (1959) and Bye, Bye Birdie (1963) both used the effects in scenes involving phone conversations.

February 2013 - Please note that February 2nd and 9th are no longer available and for February 16th, we are offering a special Valentine's Day Divan in Alliston. My good friend and colleague Catherine Wilson and her husband Tom at Alliston B&B (www.allistonbandb.com) are hosting this event. Please contact us either through this site or the site for the Alliston B&B for availability and more details. February 23rd is available should a divan in the city be more to your liking.
March 2013 - Divans for the month of March are the 2nd, 9th and 16th - all Saturdays. Being that the divan on the 16th falls on the eve of St Patrick's Day, it might be worth trying to have a completely green menu!
As always, should you prefer a divan on another date and/or at venue that suits you better just contact us we would only be too pleased to accomodate the request. Please drop a line should you have questions or need more information.
This morning it occurred to me that we are almost in mid-December; as they say where has the time gone? May I take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you a wonderful holiday season with loved ones and the best for the coming year.
It is time to plan divans for the next two months; in January they will be the 12th, 19th and 26th all Saturdays. In February will again be all Saturdays - 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd.
As many of you may recall I have been writing a column for an online magazine for some time, here is a link to the latest one : http://canadianimmigrant.ca/settling-in-canada/healthy-diabetes-friendly-recipes-for-the-holiday-season.
In the meanwhile I look forward to hosting several of you at one of the upcoming divans. It is always possible to hold a private divan or 'spice' it up, feel free to contact me via the 'contact' link to discuss the options.
Hello and I hope everyone had a wonderful summer so far. The fall is usually busy for most people so I thought I would work a couple of months in advance. Here are the dates for divans in October, in addition to the ones already posted on the website for September namely; Sep 1st, 15th and 22nd. All Saturdays.
In October the dates, all Saturdays also are Oct 6th and 27th. At the moment Oct 13th is not available, but should it be a date you wish to book we might be able to adjust things.
As usual in addition to these dates, we would be delighted to be of assistance should you wish to have a private divan at a date and venue of your choice. Look forward to hosting you this fall.
Where has the time gone? All of the sudden it is the end of the month and I realise no dates have been posted! Please don't let a lapse like this discourage you from contacting us regarding dates for divans here or a private one just for you and your group.
November has already become somewhat busy. We are only a week away but with enough people we can swing a divan for this coming weekend Nov 2nd (Fri) or 3rd (Sat). Other dates in November are 17th and 24th - both Saturdays.
It isn't too early to plan a private divan as a special way to celebrate Christmas with friends and family or even an office party. Do call or send us a quick message for more information. Regular divans are planned for the 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd - again all Saturdays.
It is always an option to add an interesting ingredient to your divan in the form of a cooking lesson, perhaps as a gift, or use it as your Christmas book club meeting.
Look forward to seeing several of you in the near future with your friends and family.
Happy Summer to all. We will be taking a break at the beginning of August from the 1st until the 16th inlcusive. We will be ready and look forward to hosting you on Saturday August 18th. The following Saturday is a celebration for my wonderful friend Ratna Omidvar who is receiving the Order of Canada, we are of course always delighted to host a private divan for a minimum of 6 people at a date and venue that suits you.
In September we are planning divans for the 1st, 15th and 22nd, all Saturdays. It is always possible to attach a cooking class before the divan; contact me for details.
Wish you a safe, healthy and delicious summer and look forward to seeing you in the not too distant future.

Q: Hyperlink Underline I have the following Twitter Bootstrap "Stacked Pills" list, mimicking the example shown at http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/components.html#navs

noun

a soft partly suppressed laugh

verb

laugh quietly or with restraint

this isn't really a definition; it's just an example of a long one

When it renders (in Google Chrome) I get this:

Compare this to the example shown on the Twitter Bootstrap website:

Home

Profile

Messages

Why do the  links have underlines in my version but not on the Twitter Bootstrap example? I'm sure it's 'something obvious' but I'm new to web UI development. :)

A: Add .nav a { text-decoration:none} to your stylesheet.

A: There is probably CSS that eliminates the underline for the underline in  tags.  You can do that by adding
a{
    text-decoration: none;
}

to your CSS.  This will remove underlines for all links.  To specify for a specific id or class, just specify your id or class before a{ as you normally would.

Raising the bar – Mind the gaps in the Equator Principles
8 th February 2018
The $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) has proved to be a highly controversial project, with its impacts exceeding the wildest expectations of investors. It was accompanied by protests, court cases, accusations of political interference and even a presidential memorandum.
The banks financing the project claim to have adhered to the Equator Principles1 (EP or the Principles), a credit risk management framework for determining, assessing and managing environmental and social risks in projects. They have been adopted by 92 financial institutions in 37 countries, covering over 70% of project finance debt in emerging markets. An Equator Principles Financial Institution (EPFI) will require its clients – the borrowers – to conduct environmental and social impact assessments for each project.
Different standards
However, the Principles only apply to emerging markets, so-called non-designated countries. Different standards exist for projects located in designated countries – countries deemed to have robust environmental and social governance in place. For projects located in designated countries, the environmental and social impact assessment can follow the host country's laws and regulations instead of adhering to the performance standards of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) on which the Principles are based. As the DAPL is located in the US, a designated country, many financing banks followed the US rules for assessments under which, for example, if a project is not sited on Indian country, informed consent is not legally required.
Response from financing institutions
Following investor pressure, some institutions sold their stakes in the loans financing the DAPL. Meanwhile, the chief executive of Citigroup apologised for not having given sufficient consideration earlier in the DAPL process to ensure free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) had been obtained. The bank has since published a number of blogs to provide transparency of its impact assessment and consultation processes. Citigroup and Toronto-Dominion, another lead financier of the 17-strong syndicate, have made commitments to improve their due diligence approaches. They undertook an independent assessment, which pointed out that the existing approach to consulting indigenous communities in the US does not meet IFC performance standards. For example, there is insufficient governance over the consultation process. Encouragingly, some banks have since moved to enhance their processes, applying global best practice standards to all the projects they finance, whether they are located in designated or non-designated countries.
Other gaps
A closer examination of the Principles has helped us identify other areas of improvement.
Principle 9 states that to assess project compliance, EPFIs require the appointment of an independent environmental and social consultant or that their clients retain qualified and experienced external experts to verify their monitoring information. This would be shared with the EPFI. It means that the cost of initial and ongoing impact assessments could potentially be externalised to the customer of the financing institution or EPFI. While this is similar to an external audit where the company pays a third party expert to verify its accounts, we believe that this process is only robust if the EPFI has sufficient in-house expertise to judge whether the external assessment has been conducted thoroughly, and if it can potentially make specific enhancements to the process before coming to a financing decision. Regular assessments should also be put in place to monitor the compliance of the project.
Additionally, in relation to governance, each EPFI is responsible for its own internal procedures to achieve compliance with the Principles. An EPFI must meet reporting requirements and sector-specific guidance and pay an annual membership fee. We encourage EPFIs to seek independent advice, especially, as in the case of the DAPL, when the in-house teams of some banks identified material risks. A widely adopted three lines of defence approach to effective risk management deserves a deep dive into environmental and social risks.

1The Principles was launched as an outcome of a work group composed of banks and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in 2003.

Mediation as an alternative to litigation can be a useful and cost-effective tool to resolve certain issues in a divorce proceeding so long as the mediator is effective and your adversary knows that (i) you have done your homework; (ii) you know the true state of financial affairs; (iii) you understand your legal rights; and (iv) you are represented by an attorney who is not afraid to fight to protect your interests.
Mediation, if successful, allows parties to control the outcome of the divorce process by means of compromise without incurring further litigation costs and without risking an unfavorable ruling by the family court judge.
Our Tampa Family Mediators do not make decisions for the parties. Rather, a mediator is a neutral intermediary who facilitates the voluntary resolution of issues between spouses. There is no requirement to reach any agreement in the mediation process. An effective mediator helps the parties find common ground; focuses the discussion on key issues; and makes practical suggestions for useful compromise. During a mediation, the spouses are placed in separate rooms and the mediator shuttles back and forth delivering messages and helping the parties narrow the issues until a final written agreement can be reached.
Florida family courts require parties to mediate before coming to court to litigate their divorce or family law case. Properly done, mediation can avoid the high costs and prolonged delays of the litigation process. Mediation also allows parties to control the outcome of the divorce proceeding and manage potential downside risks. Often, the mediation process affords the parties a better opportunity than litigation to communicate meaningfully about their issues and genuinely commit to a workable framework for post-dissolution relations.
If you would like to schedule a civil or family mediation, please visit our scheduling page and one of our experienced attorneys can help. If you have a question, please contact us today at (813) 331-5699 to speak directly with one of our lawyers.

Pending U.S. home sales up seven months in a row
Published: Oct. 1, 2009 at 12:41 p.m. ET
Residential construction spending rises at fastest pace in 16 years
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The pending-home-sales index rose 6.4% in August to its highest level since March 2007, the National Association of Realtors reported Thursday.
The index, which tracks sales contracts signed on existing homes and is designed to forecast actual sales, has risen for seven months in a row for the first time since the gauge was created in 2001, the industry trade group said. Read the full release.
Buyers may be rushing to complete their purchase before Nov. 30 to qualify for an $8,000 tax credit from the federal government. The tax credit is "adding to a more fundamental recovery in demand that reflects low prices and mortgage rates," said economists for UBS Securities.
On Thursday, Freddie Mac reported average mortgage rates fell below 5% for 30-year fixed loans, and to a record-low 4.36% for a 15-year fixed. See full story.
Buyers who've been on the fence could also be jumping in now, after seeing prices rise for several months. Still, credit conditions remain very tight for potential home buyers, with almost every bank reporting that they've tightened up on the criteria to get a loan.
Meanwhile, the Commerce Department reported that spending on construction projects increased 0.8% in August, led by a 4.7% rise in spending on private residential buildings, the largest monthly gain since 1993. August's surprising increase followed a sharp downward revision to July's spending figures, leaving total outlays lower than expected. Read the full government report.
In the past year, construction spending is down 11.7%, while spending on private homes is down 27%.
With increases in the past few months, however, residential investment is on track for the first quarterly gain in nearly four years.
The pending home-sales index has been much stronger than existing home sales, which are recorded at the closing of the sale -- usually a month or two after a sale contract is signed. The pending-sales index has risen 19% since December, while closed sales are up about 8%, according to data from the real-estate group.
The NAR has complained that new rules that require an independent appraiser are hurting sales. Banks are also killing many short sales that have been negotiated. (A short sale means selling for less than is owed on the house.)
"'Extending and expanding the tax credit is the best tool in our arsenal to encourage financially qualified buyers to stimulate the economy and help reduce the budget deficit.'"
— Lawrence Yun, NAR
"The rise in pending home sales shows buyers are returning to the market and signing contracts, but deals are not necessarily closing because of long delays related to short sales, and issues regarding complex new appraisal rules," said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the real-estate agents.
"No doubt many first-time buyers are rushing to beat the deadline for the $8,000 tax credit, which expires at the end of next month," he added. The government is offering a subsidy for first-time buyers, but sales must close before Nov. 30 to qualify. It's taking about two months to close a deal after a home goes under contract.
The real-estate industry is lobbying Congress to extend or expand the home-buyer tax credit. See related story on the rush to capitalize on the home-buyer tax credit.
"Sales will decline when the tax credit expires because we are not yet on a self-sustaining recovery path. It also raises a risk of a double-dip recession," according to Yun. "Extending and expanding the tax credit is the best tool in our arsenal to encourage financially qualified buyers to stimulate the economy and help reduce the budget deficit."
First-time buyers accounted for about 43% of buyers in August, according to a survey conducted by Campbell Communications.
The NAR has estimated that about 2 million buyers will take advantage of the tax credit this year, with 350,000 additional sales resulting. The others would have bought a house even without the subsidy.

Meet Nick De Marco - Mike Ashley's legal representative and the go-to for anyone who wants a sports lawyer
De Marco, along with Shaheed Fatima QC, will work for Ashley and Newcastle in their dispute over the Premier League rejecting a takeover bid
By Mike McGrath 14 September 2020 • 4:31pm
Lionel Messi wants to leave Barcelona but the most in-demand person in football might just be Nick De Marco QC.
Football shut its doors for the coronavirus pandemic but the barrister has since worked for the Professional Footballers' Association in opposing salary caps and acted for Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday in their financial fair play cases with the EFL.
De Marco, along with Shaheed Fatima QC, will work for Mike Ashley and Newcastle United in their dispute over the Premier League rejecting a takeover bid from a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium.
It is fair to say De Marco's work goes from the top to the bottom of football, from £300million takeovers and advising England players on their image rights, to representing Stevenage last season when a League Two game was postponed and charges dismissed.
Those who work with him privately say he is the best in the sports business.
De Marco is not limited to football and has acted for Tyson Fury in various disputes. The world heavyweight boxing champion is quoted on his barrister's own Twitter profile: "QC that really packs a punch." His current work also includes working for gymnasts in potential abuse claims against British Gymnastics.
In football, his significant cases have been high-profile and his reputation makes him sought-after when legal help is needed.
Jake Livermore avoided suspension after a hearing into testing positive for cocaine, with the Football Association taking into account "the specific and unique nature of the circumstances". The Hull City player's test was shortly after the death of his newborn son Jake Junior.
Wayne Hennessey's FA charge for an alleged Nazi salute was "not proven" by an independent regulatory commission, with the Crystal Palace goalkeeper insisting he did not know what they gesture was. Stevenage coach Mark Sampson, the former England Women's boss, saw a case dismissed for the alleged use of racist language.

Other high-profile in the last year includes Peter Beardsley, which saw the Newcastle coach banned from football for 32 weeks. Jay Rodriguez, while at West Bromwich Albion, had charges dismissed of racially aggravated misconduct.
When football closed this year, De Marco advised the PFA during the pandemic as players were discussing deferrals and is acting for them in opposition to the proposed EFL salary cap.
De Marco has also acted for football agent in their dispute with FIFA over the governing bodies over proposals for reform and regulation, which is an ongoing case. He has also represented individual agents in disputes or FA matters.
He spoke to Telegraph Sport during lockdown about the status of player contracts and how clubs could not force extensions of those whose contracts were expiring. "You cannot force a player to remain playing for a club after his contract has expired, and you cannot force him to accept a short term temporary contract," he said.
De Marco's view was also there was the possibility of a legal case following the "ghost goal" at Villa Park when Sheffield United had a goal ruled out despite Hawk-eye technology being used.

Batting form crucial to India's chances: Kapil Dev
Last updated on: February 1, 2011 12:57 IST
'Our strength is batting'
Batting would be India's strength in the upcoming World Cup but Mahendra Singh Dhoni's wretched luck with the toss will also have to turn for the better if India are to break a 28-year-old jinx at the mega-event, feels 1983 World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev.
- ICC approves Bangalore for India-England tie
"Our strength is batting and I feel we should depend on that and have faith. Luck also plays a part...winning the toss in every match. It will be marginally difficult if we lose the toss and the rival team posts a huge total for us to chase a target of 300 or so," said the legendary all-rounder.
"If we get to bat first and make 300 and odd runs, our bowlers could do the rest for us to win each match," he added.

'On paper, India look favourites'
Though the present squad has been described as balanced by most, the lack of a genuine all-rounder has been a concern but Kapil said Dhoni as a wicket-keeper/batsman fills that slot perfectly.
"There is no such thing as even the wicket keeper is considered an all rounder. We have Dhoni as an all-rounder in the team. Hope he does well to help India win the World Cup and create history as statistics say that no host has won the Cup so far," he said.
"On paper, India look favourites without any doubt. We have so many match-winning players in our team but fielding and running between the wickets are doubtful as the team has a few weak links. Overall the team's batting is so powerful that it can keep you in good stead and wrest the initiative," Kapil said.

Exceptional leadership
Kapil said Dhoni is the strength of the team for his exceptional leadership.
"I am happy for only one thing that the captain is such important person in the team. If he gets going there is nobody to replace him," he said.
The selection of three spinners in the team has been criticised but Kapil refused to call it a case of one too many.
"There is just one extra spinner in the team besides quite a few part time bowlers and picking the playing eleven depended on the captain's point of view," he said.
On whether the intense pressure of playing at home would be a disadvantage, Kapil said, "I must say that it works both ways. People's expectations are high and go higher most often.
"The advantage is that crowd support is going to help you and cheer for you. It depends on how the team members take it," he added.
Image: MS Dhoni
'Team should enjoy themselves and play hard'
Kapil refused to comment on whether the team would miss South African coach Gary Kirsten after his stint ends at the end of the World Cup.
"I do not know because I am not with the team and I cannot answer what influence the coach had on the team's performances. The team had foreign coaches for about nine or ten years now," he said.
"I do not bother about these aspects as it is entirely the job of the Indian Cricket Board," he added.
Asked whether he has any advice to offer to the Indian team for winning the Cup, Kapil quipped, "I am not good enough to give advice but they should enjoy themselves and play hard."
Image: Ms Dhoni and Gary Kirsten
Prev More
Looking back at the 1983 campaign, Kapil said none in the team expected to win the Cup but the belief grew with each match.
"There was never any expectation as none of the team members and the team management gave a thought about our winning. It never crossed our minds right from the time we left the Indian shores that we should bring the Cup home," he said.
"We never set any goal for us but we concentrated on winning each league match. Firstly we wanted to win all our league matches and then each of the knockout ties. We were all rejoicing when we made the final and at that point of time we decided to give our best shots.
"It was total team work that paid off in our team winning the title. I was feeling elated being captain and I had no words to praise my team-mates for their unstinted efforts in realising the dream," he added.

Q: How to handle validation and navigation situation on Cubit right way? In my application I have AddServerScreen Page which allows me to add Servers to Cubit. The server object has two properties, alias and address. If the alias of the server to be added matches one of the servers kept in Cubit, I do not add the server and show an error message to the user. But if it's not already added, I add the server to Cubit and go back to the home page.
My question is, Is Cubit supposed to do the validation and Navigator.pop(context) here? If I do all this in the UI Cubit will have to return Future from the function and that just doesn't feel right. I need to solve this problem the right way.
I will share simplified ServerState and ServerCubit down below.
ServerState:
class ServerState {
  final List<Server> servers;
  const ServerState(this.servers);
}

ServerCubit:
class ServerCubit extends Cubit<ServerState> {
  ServerCubit() : super(const ServerState([]));

  void addServer(String address, String alias) {
    List<Server> same = state.servers.where((e) => e.alias == alias).toList();
    if (same.isEmpty) {
      Server server = Server(address, alias);
      emit(ServerState([...state.servers, server]));
    }
  }

German pop music: a companion
Uwe Schütte (Editor)
School of Social Sciences and Humanities
Research output: Book/Report › Edited Book
The development of German pop music represents a fascinating cultural mirror to the history of post-war Germany, reflecting sociological changes and political developments. While film studies is an already established discipline, German pop music is currently emerging as a new and exciting field of academic study.
This pioneering companion is the first volume to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject, charting the development of German pop music from the post-war period 'Schlager' to the present 'Diskursrock'. Written by acknowledged experts from Germany, the UK and the US, the various chapters provide overviews of pertinent genres as well as focusing on major bands such as CAN, Kraftwerk or Rammstein. While these acts have shaped the international profile of German pop music, the volume also undertakes in-depth examinations of the specific German contributions to genres such as punk, industrial, rap and techo.
The survey is concluded by an interview with the leading German pop theorist Diedrich Diederichsen. The volume constitues an indispensible handbook for any student, teacher and scholar in the area of German studies interested in contemporary popular culture.

Q: Is it possible to develop for iOS10 and deploy to a personal iPad for testing without a developer account? I know that there is one way to do this with XCODE 7, however this doesn't seem to be working for me, possibly because I'm on iOS10? I have an app that I'd like to deploy on to my iPad before I decide to sign up for a developer account. Is there any way to achieve this.

A: You don't need a developer account but you do need a Mac.  These points are taken from this blog:
In order to take advantage of this, you'll need three things:

*

*Xcode 7

*iOS 9 (minimum)

*A free Apple ID

To start, you'll need to set up a provisioning profile to code sign your apps:

*

*Open Xode preferences (Xcode > Preferences…)

*Click the 'Accounts' tab

*Login with your Apple ID (+ > Add Apple ID…)

*Once you've successfully logged in, a new 'Personal Team' with the role 'Free' will appear beneath your Apple ID.

There's a few more details that you can view on that site.


As we count down to the kick-off of the 2016 Telstra Premiership season, we look at the best wingers in the NRL.
Once the men who were there for their speed and scoring ability alone, the modern day winger must also posses power and size and in many cases act as an extra forward when their side is working their way out of their own half.
There are plenty of men with speed to burn down either flank running around in the NRL, but who comes out on top?
After bursting onto the scene in the Rabbitohs' triumphant 2014 season and being included in the Kangaroos squad for the Four Nations tournament, Johnston would go on to make his international debut in the 2015 Anzac Test. He scored 17 tries in his second season, including finishing an impressive long-range effort against the Roosters. Has 38 tries in 43 NRL games, not bad for a player who's still just 20 years old.
He made his NRL debut in 2014, but it wasn't until 2015 where Holmes came into his own, scoring 16 tries in 25 appearances. Touted by many as a future Queensland Origin representative, Holmes also proved the difference on a number of occasions by kicking three key field goals. With the fullback position up for grabs at the Sharks in 2016, Holmes is a strong contender to move in from the flank.
Injury restricted 'The Beast' to just 16 appearances in 2015, but he still managed to score 11 tries and average more than 150 metres per game. Vatuvei scored twice for New Zealand in the Anzac Test, improving his standing as the Kiwis' all-time leading try-scorer, while also becoming the first player to score 10 or more tries in 10 consecutive NRL seasons.
While not as prolific in 2015 as in past seasons, Nightingale is still one of the finest wide men going around in the NRL. Perhaps the most well-rounded of any player on this list, the Red V favourite had 52 darts from dummy half this past season, and made 170 tackles, considerably more than any other of the top five.
Radradra is the latest in a long line of impressive Fijian wingers, but if he can build on what he's achieved so far in his NRL career he could go down as one of the finest ever. Consistently among Parramatta's best each week, Radradra topped the try-scoring list with 24 in 2015 – the most tries in a single season of any Eels player in history, breaking a 33-year-old record previously held by Steve Ella. Named Dally M Winger of the Year, Radradra averaged over 170 metres per game and had 25 line breaks for the season. If that wasn't impressive enough, the Eels wide man also became the first player in 60 years to score two or more tries in five consecutive games. He's the most dangerous winger in the competition heading into the new season, and with some quality new recruits arriving at the Eels for 2016 he'll no doubt continue to chalk up the records.

It's important to understand the level of professional care your Toyota receives when you drop it off with us for maintenance. That's why we provide descriptions of the most common Toyota services we perform, including Oil Changes, Brake Repair, and Transmission Service. That way, you can make informed decisions about the care and maintenance of your Toyota.
We do more—and less—than you may think.
Our Certified Toyota Technicians do more of the important "little" things than most Toyota owners realize, like checking tire pressure and fluid levels on every car they service. But what they do less — in fact, not at all — is try to sell you services you don't need. City Toyota never packs its service recommendations with "extras" that end up costing you more money. Our goal is to complete the services your Toyota needs, when needed, and recommend only those we think my truly be of benefit.
We check tire pressure on every car we service!
If you want to improve your gas mileage and your Toyota's overall performance, don't forget the importance of a clean air filter.
An air filter's job it so remove dust particles and other contaminants from the air that's headed to your engine's combustion chamber, leading to cleaner combustion. That, in turn, will improve your fuel efficiency and, ultimately, the life of your engine.
Fortunately, inspecting and replacing an air filter is relatively quick and inexpensive. Our trained technicians can visually inspect a filter to gauge its remaining life. If it appears clogged by dirt and debris, we'll let you know and ask if you'd like us to install a new, genuine Toyota air filter. It will be like a breath of fresh air for your Toyota.
We all take two things for granted when we get into our car: 1) that it will start, and 2) that it will stop. If it doesn't start when you want it to, that's frustrating. If it doesn't stop when need it to, that's potentially life threatening. In other words, ensuring that your brake system is in tip-top shape is possibly the most important maintenance item on the list.
When you push on the brake pedal, brake fluid is pushed through the system, causing your brake pads/shoes to operate, thereby stopping your vehicle. After a while, brake fluid is susceptible to two kinds of contamination: moisture and oxidation.
In terms of collecting moisture, brake fluid is what we call "hygroscopic". That means it can absorb moisture right out of the air. If your brake fluid has too much water content, the boiling point is lowered, which reduces braking performance. That same moisture also encourages corrosion, which can lead to expensive damage to brake system parts. Additionally, disc brakes oxidize, which also contributes to the corrosion of brake fluid.
For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary repairs, City Toyota recommends you flush your brake system and replace the fluid every two years or 30,000 miles.
This service isn't as much for your Toyota as it is for you. Sure, a dirty cabin air filter can adversely impact your Toyota's heater and air conditioning system, but the biggest impact is on your comfort and well being.
The role of a cabin air filter is to remove dust, pollen, mold, and other pollutants from incoming air before it reaches you. You'd be amazed by how much dirt and grime is removed by the cabin air filter as you use your heater, air conditioner, and vents. Once that filter gets really dirty, you may notice a decrease in heating and cooling effectiveness, a foul oder may be detectable, and you're certainly increasing the volume of pollutants entering the passenger area.
Inspecting and replacing the cabin air filter is quick and easy, but it's something most drivers never consider. Be sure to put it on your list so you can breathe easier.
If you want to help your Toyota "beat the heat", have your Cooling System serviced regularly. Otherwise, your engine can overheat, even in cool weather.
When the coolant/antifreeze in your vehicle's cooling system gets old, it becomes contaminated and corrosion begins to occur. And corrosion — once started — is nearly impossible to stop. That can ultimately lead to an expensive repair.
To prevent overheating and avoid corrosion, City Toyota recommends changing coolant once a year or every 15,000 miles, or every 3 years or 50,000 miles for those using "extended life coolant". With regular care, you'll extend the life of your water pump, heater core, and radiator, which will reduce or eliminate potential repair costs.
Transfers engine power to the wheels.
Slows the rotational speed of the transmission prior to reaching the wheels.
Controls power to the wheels, allowing them to rotate at "different speeds", thus the name "differential".
The differential for front-wheel drive cars is often called a transaxle and is located in the front. Rear-wheel drives have a rear differential and four-wheel drive vehicles have differentials in the front and the back – and in the middle as well. So no matter what type of vehicle you drive, it is bound to have at least one differential.
All this sophisticated operation requires well lubricated parts. Without proper lubrication, your differential can't do its job. Now, as you can imagine, the fluid within the differential can get very hot, which causes it to break down over time, reducing its ability to serve as a lubricant. If you don't replace that differential fluid regularly, your Toyota will suffer unnecessary wear on its gears and, ultimately, failure.
To extend the life of your differential, we recommend that you change the fluid in strict accordance with Toyota's recommendation for your particular model. If you have questions, we're here to help.
If you've ever driven a car that was built prior to the advent of power steering, you know how much harder it was to turn your car in the old days. Well, it's even harder to control a modern vehicle that's lost its power steering system. That sudden loss of control can be extremely dangerous.
To ensure that never happens to you, it's critically important to have your power steering fluid changed on a regular basis.
As power steering fluid ages and gets contaminated, your power steering system loses its hydraulic "power". It also tends to produce heat from increased friction, which can lead to the buildup of dirt and deposits within the system, potentially limiting your ability to steer properly.
Furthermore, old fluid can damage your vehicle's power steering system, which could result in the need to replace your power-steering pump or power-steering rack. The cost of a repair like that can be significant.
City Toyota advises a power steering service about every 30,000 miles. However, if you're hearing odd noises, such as whining or groaning sounds, or your steering just doesn't feel normal, please visit us immediately and allow us to inspect the fluid.
The transmission is what allows your Toyota to change gears as you drive. Repairing or replacing your transmission can cost thousands of dollars. Maintaining your transmission, however, is very affordable. City Toyota recommends that you change your transmission fluid regularly to maximize transmission life and avoid costly repairs.Transmission fluid lubricates the system and keeps parts moving smoothly. However, over time, transmission fluid "wears out" and degrades. It becomes contaminated with particles that create friction and its beneficial additives are depleted.City Toyota will remove old, dirty transmission fluid in your Toyota and replace it with fresh, high-quality fluid. That will help prevent premature wear and tear to your transmission, decreasing the chance of an expansion breakdown.City Toyota recommends changing transmission fluid for automatic transmissions every 15,000 miles and between 15,000 and 30,000 miles for manual transmissions.
