Slip and fall injuries may cause serious injuries to the victim. Finding the negligent person for a victims slip and fall can be difficult. The owner of the property may or may not be the person responsible for the victim's accident.
Many times the accident occurs because of poorly maintained floors, stairs, walkways or parking areas. A Bakersfield slip and fall attorney should be contacted to protect your rights for compensation. These accident become an issues of a premises liability case and the attorney will evaluate your claim and determine if there is a case against the owners of the property.
The Bakersfield lawyer will prove that his client's accident was caused because of a violation made by someone who owned the property or by someone who was responsible for the upkeep of the property. Investigators working for the attorney will find out if an employee or owner knew about or should have known about the conditions that were unsafe and did not correct the problem. These are the situations that create liability against the owner or manager of the property. An experienced premises attorney will establish liability against the owner and be able to get the proper compensation for his client.
Many times a person can have an accident while on someone's property that only results in a bruise or a few bumps. Other times the slip and fall can cause traumatic injuries. Head injuries are common in a slip and fall accident and may cause brain damage. Any injury involving the head should be considered serious until a qualified physician has been seen. A mild head injury could cause significant damages to the physical and cognitive abilities of the victim. These traumatic injuries could result in ongoing medical care needed by the victim.
An established premises liability lawyer has the experience in helping victims with slip and fall accidents that have resulted in brain damage. The attorney knows that brain injuries can impact a person life forever and will fight for compensation to recover lost wages, medical bills, and rehabilitation services. Included in the compensation will be claims for emotional suffering, physical pain and the loss of the victim's quality of life for the future.
Some slip and fall injuries may result in fractured or broken bones or internal damages. An attorney will have investigators who will find out the reason for the accident and establish who was at fault. Victims should call a Bakersfield attorney for a free consultation and learn about their rights. The attorney will fight for his client's right for proper compensation and get the victim every penny that the victim deserves.


I had an odd moment of realisation today.
While the kids were at preschool and school, I nipped into town to pay in a cheque in that I'd had in my possession for four months or so. I had paid to park for an hour (after having to borrow 5p off an old lady – £1.30 that hour cost!) and with 51 minutes left to while away, it dawned on me that I no longer know how to be me, on my own.
With children in tow I know all the places to go, and even a trip to London on public transport can't scare me, or at least I'm too busy making sure I haven't forgotten anyone to waste time being scared.
Knowing where to be, when to be there and who to meet, I'm fine.
But on my own, with nowhere to be and at liberty to do whatever the hell I want to do, I realised I'm wildly out of practice.
I've spent the past five and a half years at the mercy of one or more small people and my whole life has revolved around them and their needs.
I've spent hours upon hours pacing up and down with colicky babies, what felt like days sat on the sofa, feeding, scrolling on my phone.
I've watched TV programmes with bright colours, irritating presenters and annoyingly catchy songs.
I've shopped for food to make thousands of meals which ended up on the floor or in the dog.
I've walked miles pushing tank-sized prams, I've shopped for toys and children's clothes.
I've gone for days without a shower, and many nights without sleep.
I've forgotten reading for pleasure.
I've forgotten browsing, and trying on clothes.
I've forgotten cakes in cafes with no requests to share.
I've forgotten how to wander at my own speed, without a hand or two to hold.
And so I found myself in town, in the middle of the day, with time to spare feeling slightly lost.
It sounds stupid, even to me, but I'm so used to having no free time that the last time I popped into town on my own just 'because' was years ago, and now it feels like a Big Thing.
I always thought that I was my children's security blanket, but it turns out that perhaps they were mine too.
It may not be the time for new year's resolutions any longer, but I'm going to set mine now.
To find more time for me this year. To get my nails done. To sit and have tea (and maybe a cake). To browse.
To spend that time between drop off and pick up remembering who I was before I had children and how to be me, on my own. And enjoy it.
I did exactly the same a few years ago.
Now I love my days when I am not at work and the kids are in school.
My husband and I take day dates and I even got brave enough to have lunch on my own.
I love this and it sounds like you loved it too! I do one thing for me a week and husband takes the kids to playgroup once a week and even with that it seems weird. I like to watch crime drama in the morning with tea but the reality is I do that in put about 6 washes on so that mum hat is still lurking in the background . I've also booked a holiday to the Caribbean with a friend this year and I'm terrified but very excited.


Marc Emery: Why did Justin Trudeau put a past kingpin of prohibition in charge of marijuana legalization task force?
My extradition to the United States, for which i was arrested on July 29, 2005, was a joint U.S.-Canadian government project involving, remarkably, 30 departments of the U.S. and Canadian governments.
In Canada it involved Health Canada, the Ministry of Public Safety, the RCMP, Vancouver Police Department, the Canadian prosecutorial service, Immigration Canada, the B.C. solicitor general, the B.C. attorney general, and even the office of the deputy prime minister.
From 2002 when the U.S. opened its case against me, to July 2005 when I was arrested, the Liberal government of the day under Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin had Alberta MP Anne McLellan as point person in the three cabinet portfolios that were responsible for extraditing me; she was variously the justice, health, and public safety minister in those three years, as well as being deputy prime minister on the day I was arrested on July 29, 2005.
"Mr. Speaker, the Liberals made a big promise to legalize marijuana. However, the government just assigned the file to the former justice minister, who has said in the past that she is opposed to the medical use of marijuana.
Let me summarize. A former police chief and now a pot opponent are in charge of the legalization of marijuana. That is like putting Colonel Sanders in charge of the hen house.
Someone finally said the obvious!
In her time in the Liberal government spotlight, McLellan called marijuana a "scourge", suggested that marijuana led to the murder of four Mounties in the Alberta town of Mayerthorpe, promised a Liberal government would never be "in the business of legalizing marijuana", wanted judges who refused to give tough penalties for weed offences to explain their reasons in writing to her, said "we do not want Canadians to use marijuana", and "essentially instructed staff to obstruct the processing of Canadians" trying to access marijuana to relieve pain.
In an August 17, 2005, Vancouver Sun article entitled "Irwin Cotler Throws Up Smokescreen", columnist Ian Mulgrew speculated on McLellan's fingerprints being all over the Emery extradition file, noting she was a "pro-American hawk and rabid anti-pot crusader".
In the months before my arrest for extradition to the United States, I was jousting with McLellan in newspapers about the four Mounties killed by a lone shooter in Alberta who had some marijuana plants in a barn.
It was laid out in a Calgary Sun article entitled "Political Furor Sparked", which was published on March 5, 2005.
"What we're doing is enhancing the Criminal Code by increasing the maximum sentences that courts can levy against grow-ops," McLellan told reporters.
McLellan's appointment sadistically mocks everyone who has worked for and supported this movement. It mocks the voters. Are we dumb enough to think that McLellan's lust for meanness towards marijuana sinners has suddenly disappeared?
McLellan's appointment to a marijuana file is like bringing the Ku Klux Klan back to write civil rights legislation.
I wrote in earlier blogs that the most important aspect of this legalization task force is to remind the committee and the country of the millions of victims of the 50 years of marijuana prohibition. McLellan in that sense is the perfect foil. After all, as health minister, justice minister, and public safety minister, she's one of those responsible for so many prohibition victims.
Anne McLellan was deputy prime minister in a previous Liberal government that supported the extradition of Marc Emery for selling marijuana seeds over the Internet.
So here are my questions for the chairperson of the legalization task force. And since the Trudeau government has repeatedly put forth its desire for transparency, I'm sure I will get my chance to put these questions to chairperson McLellan in person when the task force goes traveling across Canada to hear from Canadians.
• "Madame Chairperson, it's been a long, long time. Eleven years ago, before I was earmarked for exile by your government, we were talking about marijuana prohibition. We're back to continue that conversation now. At that time, you and I were talking about the hysteria you created by claiming marijuana was responsible for the death of four Mounties in Mayerthorpe, Alberta. We learned a lesson there. Before any evidence is presented we must be assured it is going to be objectively studied. Otherwise, we are all wasting our time. Is this possible with you, Madame Chairperson?"
• "Thousands of lives have been hurt and damaged because of your belief that marijuana is a scourge. On March 5, 2005, the Toronto Sun reported you saying 'Marijuana production is a violent, organized scourge that juries must battle with firm sentences.' Do you still believe this?"
• "You said in the Toronto Sun of May 4, 2005, 'We', meaning the Liberal government of your day, 'we are not in the business of legalizing marijuana. We are in the business of putting in place a new penalty regime for small amounts of marijuana.' Is this still your belief?"
This last question is what should disqualify McLellan for the appearance of a conflict of interest. But then Justin Trudeau was first introduced to "legalization" by Tweed Marijuana licensed producer cofounder Chuck Rifici, who has gotten rich as a consequence of his investment in his LP, and who has been agitating for all competing dispensaries and cannabis sellers to be arrested and shut down.
Rifici is also the chief financial officer of the Liberal Party of Canada. McLellan's place of employment openly seeks licensed providers to represent while she maintains impartiality on this task force.
How can the task force be taken seriously?
McLellan, the insensate Prohibition zealot who aided in my exile and the denial of medicine for thousands of Canadians—and whose law firm represents the corporate beneficiaries of the Conservative government's Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations program—is the official face of Trudeau's "legalization".
How does this task force have any credibility? It doesn't, but that makes no difference to this government.
McLellan is refusing all interviews about her appointment. She knows her past beliefs are lunacy to others but others don't count. Anyone who uses the word "scourge" to describe something is not likely to change her mind about that.
Scourge is a word worth paying attention to because it indicates a specific mindset. It's much worse than "dangerous". Dangers can be avoided or protections enacted.
Not so for a scourge. A scourge represents a curse, a menace, a plague, a bane of existence, doom, calamity, disaster. It's a very grim word. It is in an entirely different emotional category. You will not be allowed to grow your own scourge.
In light of this, how can the public believe that anything is going to change the minds of Blair and McLellan? That's why they were appointed. Bill and Anne are among the most adamant, longest-serving, influential, and hard-core prohibitionists in this country. They are proven ideological fanatics when it comes to marijuana.
Both were literally on the front lines of Prohibition for years. Bill the Narc was out there lying and busting on behalf of a drug squad that the Toronto Star has linked to a 30-year history of corruption. Later, he became police chief.
Anne was supplying the reefer-madness ideology, hysteria, and laws to keep drug cops like Bill employed.
This Prohibition pair are both working for a government intent on protecting Canada's licensed producers, quite clearly.
They will pick other prohibitionists for this task force and begin their already predictable deliberations.
Marc Emery is a long-time crusader for marijuana legalization and the founder of Cannabis Culture Headshop and Vapor Lounge at 1674 Davie Street in Vancouver. For years, his company's original location at 307 West Hastings Street was the only Vancouver business to allow pot consumption indoors.

This is an article by Dany Mitzman. I've ejoyed reading it so much. Hope you'll do the same.
Many Italians, it seems, are prone to a particularly wide range of winter illnesses, helped apparently by an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy. More than a decade living in this country has led me to a shocking conclusion. Being Italian is bad for your health. As winter draws in, those around me are suffering from a range of distinctly Italian ailments, that make our limited British colds and flus sound as bland as our food. As I cycle around the medieval streets of my adoptive home town of Bologna, I smile to myself, marvelling at the fact that I am still wearing a light-weight jacket at this time of year.
My Italian counterparts are less fortunate.
They have their woolly scarves and quilted coats out and are rubbing their necks, complaining of my favourite mystery Italian malady "la cervicale". "Soffro di cervicale (I suffer from cervicale)," they tell me, making it sound particularly serious. Most people over the age of 30 seem to have the condition, but I am still at a loss as to what exactly it is and how to translate it. I have looked it up in the dictionary and found "cervical" - an adjective referring to the cervical vertebrae, those little bones in the back of your neck - but as an ailment, there is simply no English translation. We do not have it! The British also do not seem to have the sort of exceptional knowledge of their own anatomy which Italians have.
Soon after I moved here, I remember a friend telling me he was not feeling very well. "My liver hurts," he said. I have since been assured by doctors that you cannot actually feel your liver, but what really struck me was the fact that he knew where his liver was. We British, in contrast, are a nation staggeringly ignorant of our anatomy. Italians can also tell you if the pain is in their stomach or intestine - and can even specify whether it is colic or colitis - but to us it is all just "tummy ache". Yet although I should feel embarrassed about my inability to point out the exact location of my gall bladder, I am not. Why? Because I think it makes me healthier. After years of first-hand experience of the delicate Italian constitution, I have come up with a theory about why we British are so much sturdier. If you cannot name it, you cannot suffer from it. If you do not know where it is, it cannot hurt you. Among my Italian friends I am considered something of an immuno-superhuman. I can leave the gym sweaty to have my shower at home and not catch a chill en route. I can swim after eating and not get congestion or cramp. I can walk around with wet hair and not get "la cervicale". I even brag about it. At restaurants I will say: "Let me sit in the draught. I'll be fine. I'm English."
I ran my theory past a Sicilian psychoanalyst and he said I had a point. For example, the British do not have a term for a "colpo d'aria". It literally translates as a "hit of air" and seems to be incredibly dangerous for Italians.
They can get one in their eye, their ear, their head or any part of their abdomen.
To avoid getting a colpo d'aria, until at least April, they must never go out without wearing a woollen vest, known as a "maglia della salute" (a shirt of health). British mums hold their kids' jackets so they will not get hot and sweaty while they run around and play. In contrast, the parks here in Italy are filled with pint-sized, quilted Michelin men, zipped up to their noses to stop the air getting in and hitting them. Italians are brought up to be afraid of these health risks, while our ignorance of their very existence makes us strong and fearless.
It is a question of etiquette too. We are a nation that "mustn't grumble", trained from an early age that the only answer to "How are you?" is "Fine, thank you." Our vocabulary reflects this. Whether we have had a cold or spent six weeks in intensive care, we will tell you we have been "a bit poorly".
What if that cultural difference was actually contagious? What if years in the country had changed my constitution and I too was suffering from another common Italian health hazard, "the change of season"? I tried to convince myself that lack of sleep was to blame, but I was not certain.
Later that day, I bumped into a neighbour and confessed that I was feeling "a bit poorly".
"Ooh," she said, looking concerned. "I went to the doctor yesterday and he told me there's a 48-hour stomach flu going around." Then her face brightened up. "But don't worry, you're English so it'll only last 24 hours for you!" And suddenly - superhuman status restored - I felt a whole lot better.

1. The first section of the Act of June 13, 1812, 2 Stat. 748, making further provision for settling the claims to land in the Territory of Missouri, confirms, proprio vigore, the rights, titles, and claims to the lands embraced by it, and, to all intents and purposes, operates as a grant.
2. The Court adheres to the doctrine, announced in its previous decisions, that a confirmatory statute passes a title as effectually as if it in terms contained a grant de novo, and that a grant may be made by a law as well as by a patent pursuant to law.
3. Said first section is not, by the proviso thereto annexed, excluded from operating on the right and claim of an inhabitant of a village which is therein named to an out-lot, whose title thereto had, on his petition, been recognized and confirmed by the board of commissioners for adjusting and settling claims to land in said territory.
This is an action of ejectment brought Aug. 27, 1873, for part of a tract of land known as Survey 422, situate in the County of St. Louis, Mo. The parties claimed title under Auguste Dodier, and defendants relied also on the statute of limitations.
"Commissioners' Certificate, No. 422, July 31, 1810"
"We, the undersigned, commissioners for ascertaining and adjusting the titles and claims to lands in the Territory of Louisiana, have decided that Auguste Dodier, original claimant, is entitled to a patent under the provisions of the second section of an act of the Congress of the United States, entitled 'An Act for ascertaining and adjusting the titles and claims to land within the Territory of Orleans and the District of Louisiana,' passed the second day of March, 1805, for five hundred arpens of land, situate in the District of St. Louis, on Beaver Pond, as described in a plat of survey, certified the 10th of December, 1800, and to be found of record in book A, page 326, of the recorder's office, by virtue of a permission from the proper Spanish officer, and also of actual inhabitation and cultivation prior to and on the twentieth day of December, 1803."
The land so confirmed was surveyed in 1817 by the proper surveyor of the United States, and is known as United States Survey No. 422, but the patent reciting the confirmation and survey was not issued until Aug. 9, 1873.
the land in controversy is not within the boundaries of the tract described in the report of the commissioners in said partition suit to be set off to Labeaume.
In the year 1822, Susan Labeaume brought an action of trespass quare clausum fregit against Dodier's heirs in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, to which was pleaded the general issue and liberum tenementum, whereupon the plaintiff replied to second plea by novel assignment (describing the close as in the report of commissioners in the above partition suit). On July 27, 1825, the defendants in said suit obtained a verdict and a judgment thereon, and the case was taken by writ of error to the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri, by which, on May 25, 1826, the judgment was reversed and the case remanded, and on May 8, 1827, defendants again obtained judgment in the said circuit court. From the record of the said supreme court in said cause, it appears that a transcript of the record of said partition suit of Louis Labeaume v. Dodier's Heirs was read in evidence, but that the notice to defendants in said partition suit was not included in the bill of exceptions, and was not before the supreme court, and that the conveyance from Auguste Dodier and wife to Louis Labeaume, being admitted by defendants in said trespass suit, was also read upon the trial of said cause, and a copy thereof preserved in the bill of exceptions taken and filed in said cause.
Prior to and on Dec. 20, 1803, Auguste Dodier was an inhabitant of the Village of St. Louis, possessed and cultivated the land known as United States Survey No. 422, and had a right, title, and claim thereto. It was an out-lot of the said village within the meaning of the Act of June 13, 1812, with definite boundaries and location, prior to and at the date of the acquisition of Louisiana by the United States.
These are the material facts found by the court below, which, by written stipulation of the parties, made a special finding of the facts.
The court gave judgment for the defendants, whereupon the plaintiffs sued out this writ of error.
The defendants, and those under whom they claim, have been in continuous and adverse possession of the land in controversy, claiming title to it for more than thirty-five years. The justice of the case, growing out of such length of possession, is manifestly with the court below, and we think the law of it is equally so.
The property in suit is part of a tract of land known as Survey 422, in the County of St. Louis. The court below, by stipulation, tried the case and made a special finding of facts, on which it based its conclusion of law, that the plaintiffs could not recover. It is objected that some of these facts were not warranted by the evidence, but this is not a subject of inquiry here. If the parties chose to adopt this mode of trial, they are concluded by the propositions of fact which the evidence, in the opinion of that court, establishes. Whether general or special, the finding has the same effect as the verdict of a jury, and its sufficiency to sustain the judgment is the only matter for review in this Court. Norris v. Jackson, 9 Wall. 125; Flanders v. Tweed, 9 Wall. 425; Kearney v. Case, 12 Wall. 275; Miller v. Life Ins. Co., 12 Wall. 285.
Both parties claim under Auguste Dodier, to whom the tract was confirmed in 1810 by the board of commissioners created to settle the title to lands in the Territories of Orleans and Louisiana. The plaintiffs insist that this confirmation vested only an equitable title, and that the statute of limitations did not begin to run until the fee passed out of the United States by patent in 1873. On the other hand, the defendants contend that the fee passed directly to him in 1812 by operation of the Act of June 13 of that year, 2 Stat. 748, and if so it is conceded that the statute of limitations gives them title. It becomes necessary, therefore, to inquire how far the acts of Congress to protect the rights of property in the territory acquired from France by the Treaty of April 30, 1803, apply to and affect the title to the land in controversy.
"That the rights, titles, and claims to town or village lots, out-lots, common field lots, and commons in, adjoining, and belonging to the several towns and villages [naming them] in the Territory of Missouri, which lots have been inhabited, cultivated, or possessed, prior to the twentieth day of December, 1803, shall be, and the same are hereby, confirmed to the inhabitants of the respective towns or villages aforesaid according to their several right or rights of common thereto, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect the rights of any person claiming the same lands, or any part thereof, whose claims have been confirmed by the board of commissioners for adjusting and settling claims to lands in the said territory."
It does not require the production of proofs before any commission or other tribunal established for that special purpose, but confirms, proprio vigore, the rights, titles, and claims to the lands embraced by it and operates as a grant to all intents and purposes. Repeated decisions of this Court have declared that such a statute passes the title of the United States as effectually as if it contained in terms a grant de novo, and that a grant may be made by a law as well as by a patent pursuant to a law.
was taken out of the enacting clause by the proviso that the act shall not affect any confirmed claims to the same lands. How "affect" them? If in the sense of simply acting upon them, then his title is excepted from the operation of the act. But this exception is not within the reason of the proviso, and the court is at liberty to adopt another construction, if it may be fairly done, by giving full and just effect to the words used.
board, had obtained its approval of them. This was recognized by Congress, and to guard against the possibility of conflict, the proviso was inserted. No known rule of law requires us to interpret it according to its literal import when its evident intent is different. It may be that the words, taken in their usual sense, would exclude the case of Dodier; but if it can be gathered from a view of the whole law and others in pari materia that they were not used in that sense, and if they admit of another meaning in perfect harmony with the general scope of the statute, it will be adopted as the declaration of the will of Congress. Especially is this so when this construction withdraws the least number of cases from the operation of the statute. It is unnecessary to give the various definitions of the word "affect." It is enough to say that it is often used in the sense of acting injuriously upon persons and things, and in this sense we are all of opinion it was used in this proviso. This interpretation accords with the reason and manifest intent of the proviso. It unsettles no confirmed title and secures to the inhabitants of the villages, according to their respective rights, the protection which Congress in its wisdom thought proper to afford them.
"Nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect or impair the rights of any individual or individuals to the said commons which are derived from any grant of the French or Spanish governments."
object -- to protect individual rights and prevent conflict of titles. The grants of the New Orleans commons, in the one case, and of the village lots in the other, were simply on the condition that no adverse claimant should be injured by them. If it should turn out that any one was benefited by the grant, he was not barred from availing himself of it because he had given another title in evidence before a regularly constituted board of commissioners.
Strother v. Lucas, 12 Pet. 410, is cited by the plaintiffs as an authority in this case, but it can hardly be considered in that light. It is true that the court treat Lucas' title as "being a grant by the United States, under the confirmation of the commissioners and the act of 1812," but the effect which that act has on a lot confirmed by the commissioners was not discussed at the bar, or considered in the opinion, nor has it, to our knowledge, been heretofore decided by this Court.
It is claimed that the effect of the partition suit is to estop the defendants from setting up title to lands which were not assigned to Labeaume by the commissioners in partition. But the lines of partition were incorrect, for the court finds that the land in controversy is a part of that conveyed to Labeaume by deed from Dodier, and is not within the boundaries of the land set off to him. Besides, neither party recognized the proceedings in partition as binding, nor were they at all necessary, as the deed calls for the whole estate in a specified part of a tract of land. In such a case, the deed ought to and must control the rights of the parties.
It is unnecessary to notice any other assignments of error, for these views dispose of the whole case and affirm the judgment of the circuit court.


The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has today announced that he is creating a brand new £45million fund to help young Londoners – particularly those who are at risk of getting caught up in crime. It should be the Government's job to fund services and activities for young people in London, but it has abdicated its responsibilities. That's why the Mayor has listened to Londoners' concerns and is stepping up to provide funding that local communities and charities desperately need and to help young people fulfil their potential.
Sadiq's new Young Londoners Fund will see £15m invested in each of the next three years, beginning from April.
In London, Government cuts over the last eight years have hit young people hard. As a result, councils have been left with no choice but to slash more than £22m from youth services since 2011, closing 30 youth centres, with at least 12,700 places for young people lost.
Sadiq believes these services are vital in supporting and helping to develop young people, particularly those who have been left behind or marginalised, in protecting vulnerable children and young adults and helping them avoid being sucked into crime.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "It is shameful that because of this Government's cuts, youth services across the capital have been decimated. Wherever I go in London, communities tell me that young people need more to do – and I agree. I know from personal experience that for many young people, particularly those from deprived and disadvantaged communities, activities and services for young people offer support at crucial times, have a really positive impact and help keep them on the straight and narrow. It is young people who are more likely to suffer from the national rise in violent crimes and I am committed to helping them.
The Mayor announced his Young Londoners Fund while visiting the Salmon Youth Centre in Bermondsey today. The centre has been reaching out to young people in inner city London for over a hundred years and inspiring young people to reach their potential and contribute positively to the community in which they live.
This large new fund, separate from and in addition to the £7m investment the Mayor has already made into knife and gang crime projects in 2017-18 as part of his tough and comprehensive knife crime strategy. This includes supporting knife prevention work in schools, empowering communities with funding for knife crime prevention initiatives, providing specialist youth workers to engage with victims in hospitals, and launching a new positive anti-knife crime campaign – London Needs You Alive.
Sport, culture, citizenship, environment, education and volunteering will be central to successful bids. There will be a strong focus on those communities where the huge cuts in youth services have had the most serious impact. Further details on the Young Londoners Fund will be released in due course. The kinds of activities that could be supported include building aspiration and progression in under-achieving groups, diversionary activities to keep young Londoners away from crime, and support to address childhood mental health and untreated trauma.
Cllr Lib Peck, Lambeth council leader, said: "The emphasis on small scale, local projects is an approach I fully endorse. In response Lambeth council will work closely with our community groups on putting together targeted and well-developed funding bids to ensure we are doing all we can to ensure that our young people make good life choices, especially those at risk of engaging in knife and other violent youth crime.
Rosemary Watt-Wyness, Chief Executive, London Youth, said: "London Youth is very encouraged by the Mayor's decision to invest £45m in London's young people and the commitment to fund activities which build opportunities and progression. This gives a much-needed boost to the youth sector, given over £22 million has been cut from youth service budgets across the capital since 2011.
Funding for the Mayor's Young Londoners Fund is being provided from council tax and business rates over which the Mayor has control.
It is planned to spend the £45 million fund broadly evenly across three years, and each year spend £10m on community bids and £5m to scale-up successful Mayoral projects. This will be kept under review as the fund is taken forwards.
This funding is in addition to the separate £15 million allocated by the Mayor to the Met Police Service to tackle knife crime in 2018/19. Taken together, the allocations show the Mayor's determination to tackle both crime and the causes of crime.
Prevention is more effective than enforcement, but the fact remains that after years of Government underfunding and cuts, the Met police is significantly underfunded causing a huge drain on resources and officer numbers are falling. Time and again, the Mayor has called on the Government, who are responsible for more than 70 per cent of the Met police budget, to do the right thing and give our police the funds they need to keep us safe. But they have refused.
* Investing £1.4m to continue to provide youth workers in Major Trauma Centres, and place more youth workers to hospital A&E departments, to help steer young Londoners who have been involved in knife crime away from violence in the future.
* £250,000 of community seed funding has been made available to community groups and grass-roots anti-knife initiatives across London, to fund work with young people preventing and protecting them from knife crime.
* Dedicating £7m to projects to help tackle youth violence, including: Gang Exit (£500,000), Information Sharing to Tackle Violence (£168,000), Victim Support Children & Young people (£360,861), and youth projects under the London Crime Prevention Fund (£5,295,717).

Ján Veizer (* 1941 in der Slowakei) ist emeritierter Professor für Geowissenschaften der Universität Ottawa und ein ausgezeichneter Isotopengeochemiker.

Leben und Wirken
Veizer arbeitete auch am Institut für Geologie, Mineralogie und Geophysik an der Bochumer Ruhr-Universität. Er hielt bis 2004 den NSERC/Noranda/CIFAR Industrielehrstuhl in Geosystemisotopen- und Umweltgeochemie. Sein Forschungsschwerpunkt war die Anwendung chemischen und Isotopen-Techniken zur Bestimmung der Geschichte des Erdklimas und anderer Umweltbedingungen.

Veizer erhielt 1986 den Killam Award, 1987 die W.W. Hutchison Medal für junge Forscher, die außergewöhnliche Fortschritte in den kanadischen Geowissenschaften gemacht hatten, 1991 die Willet G. Miller Medal für außergewöhnliche Beiträge zur Geologie, 1992 den Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz-Preis, der mit 1,55 Mio. EUR dotiert ist, für die Erforschung der Geochemie von Sedimenten, 1995 die Logan Medal, die die höchste Ehrung der Geological Association of Canada ist, und 2000 den Bancroft Award für Beiträge zur Popularisierung geowissenschaftlicher Fragestellungen.

Während seiner Karriere hat Veizer mehr als 4500 Messdaten von Sauerstoffisotopen in Kalzit- und Aragonit-Muscheln gesammelt, um Klima- und Sedimentdaten des gesamten Phanerozoikums aufzubauen, die auf den Oberflächentemperaturen des tropischen Meeres beruhen.

Kontroverse über den Einfluss kosmischer Strahlung auf den Klimawandel

Zusammen mit anderen Wissenschaftlern verglich Veizer die rekonstruierten historischen Meereswassertemperaturen der letzten 545 Millionen Jahre mit der Variabilität der kosmischen Strahlung, die die Erde erreicht, sowie den historischen CO2-Konzentrationen in der Erdatmosphäre.

Nach einem vorsichtig formulierten Artikel in Nature im Jahr 2000, den er zusammen mit Yves Godderis und Louis M. François verfasste, können die Resultate in Übereinstimmung gebracht werden, wenn die CO2-Konzentration in der Erdatmosphäre nicht die Haupttreiber des Klimawandels in geologisch relevanten Zeiträumen sind, zumindest für ein Drittel der phanerozoischen Periode, es sei denn, die rekonstruierten CO2-Konzentrationen seien nicht zuverlässig.

2003 publizierte Veizer zusammen mit dem israelischen Astrophysiker Nir J. Shaviv einen Artikel in der Zeitschrift Geological Society of America. Darin bekräftigt Veizer einen reduzierten (gekappten) Einfluss von CO2 auf den Klimawandel und schreibt der kosmischen Strahlung eine größere Bedeutung zu. Obwohl der Mechanismus noch nicht voll verstanden sei, zeigten die empirischen Daten eine geeignete Übereinstimmung. Der Artikel wurde, unter anderem von Vertretern des Potsdamer Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung scharf kritisiert.

Veizer and Shaviv betonten die Anwendbarkeit ihrer Forschung auf das heutige Klima wie auch ihren Respekt für Forscher, die sich auf der Linie des IPCC befinden. Veizer und Shaviv erhalten als Wert für die Klimasensitivität einen Wert von 1,5 °C; das IPCC hält dagegen Werte zwischen 2 und 4,5 °C für wahrscheinlich, mit einem besten Schätzwert von 3 °C.

Instant Pot fajitas are great and take just minutes to cook to tender perfection. Flavorful marinated beef and vegetables are for dinner tonight!
We made this steak fajita recipe in our pressure cooker. We will soon follow this one up with Instant Pot chicken fajitas.
I will tell you that the trick to making the best fajitas is the marinade you use beforehand, we will share the best fajita marinade recipe below for you.
This is what our beef looked like after it sat in the goodness overnight….I know, my family loves it!!
Cut your beef into strips – Or buy it like this in the meat department. It is usually cheaper to cut it yourself (but that is just the cheapskate in me talking).
You could use chicken breast sliced but cooking time will need to be adjusted to closer to 7 – 15 minutes depending on thickness.
Add chili powder if you'd like to add additional heat before pressure cooking begins.
Of course you can use lime juice in a container but fresh is always best.
You can also use broth instead of lime if you'd rather but this sure does give it a great added flavor.
We used this same method when we made our Instant Pot tacos too and it works great. If you're using something other than lime juice I'd say you might need 1/3 – 1/2 cup or so but quite honestly I have never done it that way.
Make these Instant Pot fajitas for a big get together. Or serve to your family for dinner and see if you love them as much as we did.
If you only have chicken strips, we do have this crock pot chicken fajitas recipe we've made in the past. I will be honest it turns out much better in your IP, Crock Pot Express or Ninja Foodi. If you only have a slow cooker though this is an option.
After you try this, try our steak fajita cups too!
Slice onion and bell peppers, add into pressure cooker with beef.
Squeeze 3 fresh limes into the pot ensuring no seeds land inside. Sprinkle packet of fajita seasoning over everything if you are adding that rather than previously marinading your beef.
Mix all ingredients so everything is mixed and/or coated well.
Serve inside small tortillas topped with fresh cilantro, salsa, sour cream, avocado, or any other fajita toppings.

For appraisals, surveys, training needs analysis or skills diagnostics.
Ready-made questionnaires or develop your own!
Imagine that each of your managers receive a spider graph on their performance like the one here and that they also receive a report that contains the breakdown of the feedback received for each of the competencies.
Just think how useful that would be to drive the performance of the leadership within your organisation.
Especially so for the manager in this example as there seems to be a big disconnect between how they perceive their performance compared to those who provided feedback on them!
360 degree feedback is a process where your managers have the opportunity to receive feedback on their performance from their line manager, their staff, colleagues and even their customers.
It also provides the opportunity for your managers to take a step back and to provide a self-assessment of their own strengths and weaknesses.
A 360 can work very well during the performance management process, staff appraisals, regular one to ones, as part of a training programme or for gathering training needs.
Here are just some of our clients that use our 360 degree feedback solutions.
Some of them use our 360 statements as they are.
Some use their own criteria and others use our statements as a baseline and then amend and adapt them to fit exactly what they need.
We have a number of off the shelf 360 degree feedback management and leadership questionnaires that you can use "as is" or you can download them and make changes to ensure that you are measuring exactly what you need.
Or indeed, you can develop your own questionnaire and start from scratch so if you have a competency development framework in place already for example, you can measure against that…exactly.
Therefore your managers will receive feedback that will really make a difference to them personally and to your organisation as a whole.
Want to compare your managers over time? We have an option that will enable you to do exactly that.
We have a number of comparison reports that you can use that will illustrate their improvements over a specific time period.
You can also group reports up for say a team or a management population so you can receive an aggregated picture of your entire management population if the needs be.
This is found to be very useful for measuring cultural aspects of the business and for providing leadership training needs analysis.
Our 360 solutions give you complete flexibility over your staff development needs.
It's ideal for staff appraisals, identifying development needs and for use before, during and after training programmes.
Our team can run the whole project for you at no additional cost or we can give you access to the system and you can run it yourself.
Feel free to download a sample report which will illustrate the level of detail that each of your managers will receive.
We can also provide coaching services to feedback the results of the 360 degree feedback reports as well as provide train the coach training to train your people on how to provide the feedback themselves.
If you have got some 360 degree feedback requirements in mind please call us on 0333 320 2883 or complete the online form below.

Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley: Aviv Kochavi deepened the strategic partnership between Israel and the U.S.
The U.S. Armed Forces on Monday awarded the Legion of Merit to Israel Defense Forces Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi in a ceremony at Fort Myer in Washington, D.C.
The medal was awarded in honor of Kochavi's achievements in "establishing Israel's position as a leader of groundbreaking operational capabilities in the Middle East," and enhancing the Israeli-American strategic alliance, according to an official statement.
The award was presented by Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley on behalf of the U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, according to the IDF Spokesperson Unit.
"Through his actions during his tenure as Chief of General Staff, Lt. Gen. Kochavi exemplified the spirit of collaboration and cooperation in furthering the strategic partnership of the United States and the State of Israel," said Milley.
"Lt. Gen. Kochavi solidified Israel's status as a capable and effective regional security leader in the Middle East. Lt. Gen. Kochavi further demonstrated exceptional strategic leadership by capitalizing on the diplomatic initiatives of the Abraham Accords to deepen bilateral military-to-military ties with partners," he added.

Kochavi also guided the U.S.-Israeli military-to-military relationship through a transition period, as U.S. European Command handed over its geographic combatant command responsibility for Israel to U.S. Central Command, which oversees operations and regional cooperation in the Middle East.
"Kochavi exemplified the close bond between Israel and the United States. Lt. Gen. Kochavi clearly established and shared Israel's strategic defense objectives, in close alignment with U.S. national interests and strategic objectives. Lt. Gen. Kochavi's superior efforts, outstanding leadership, and personal initiative reflect great credit upon himself, the Israel Defense Forces, and his country," said Milley.

Posted in: 2016, Movies, Thriller on:&nbspDecember 31
Rachel is a woman in grave crisis: divorced, still in love with her husband even though these have a new family, she finds refuge in alcohol only. He trains during his travels to and from work looking out the window a couple of young and begins to identify with the girl, Megan, beautiful and full of life. When he discovers that this is having an affair with another man, he relives his trauma a second time and loses control. When he wakes up and discovers that Megan disappeared can not remember if it was a witness or protagonist of his disappearance.
Based on a bestseller by Paula Hawkins, Girl of the test train to revive the glory of the classic yellow coloring of sexy shades and psychological investigation into the mind of an alcoholic. But the film Tate Taylor lacks severely in the basic elements of a cinematographic work, in its essential components. Primarily the screenplay, adapted from a novel centered on the thoughts of his protagonists and difficult to transpose on the big screen: the scan time of the story, with its leaps forward and backward, it sounds wholly artificial, unless it is supported by narrative needs or add a significant nuance to the film. The cast also assembles actors in itself excellent, adapting them to roles that are not theirs: Emily Blunt, as ugly, still distant from the protagonist of the novel; Edgar Ramirez indulges in a Spanish accent while playing a psychoanalyst clear Middle Eastern origin (Kamal Abdic); and so on, in a context of a general disregard for the credibility of every detail.
The presence of Blunt and its inevitable extra-diegetic star value of empathy seem the only justification that is created between the viewer and the character, even in the face of incomprehensible or reprehensible actions of the latter. But Taylor's direction, rather than relying contrast, supports him, canceling at source: the contradictory mystery of which feeds a whodunit. We can never really believe that Rachel is guilty of some irreparable act? We can empathize with her when she unleashes her anger in a bathroom vowing to want to kill with his hands Megan for the sole reason to betray her husband?
But if the fundamental The Train girl does not excel, even the special help to save the movie Taylor, the director of a mediocre biopic about James Brown (Get on Up): Haley Bennett has a body and a physicality that make it believable as sex symbol, but the expressiveness needed to make the complex personality of Megan. As well as the contrast between the whiteness of internal maniacally cared for by their tenants and turbid intrigues that are established between them does not go beyond the stylistic worn by Peyton Place onwards. Everything already (and better) as told by Lynch, Kasdan and countless other directors of yellow and noir, without the use of metaphors such as fitting epilogue, which combines the three protagonists of the tragedy in three Graces, united by the same path in life. The sensual body (Megan), the mind subjugated (Rachel) and the maternal instinct (Anna) are finally combined in a single entity, freed from the shackles of a tormentor fallocrate. visual quite didactic and unnecessary appendage.
Mention for the music of Danny Elfman, the only salvageable part of a transposition destined to disappoint both the fans of the novel that his detractors.

Photographer Don McCullin talks about how his experiences of war photography have shaped his landscapes and still-lifes.
With a career spanning over 50 years, Don McCullin is best known for his arresting images of war, with his photography spanning continents. McCullin recently returned from Syria where he made a documentary about the destruction of Palmyra with Dan Cruickshank. Over the last ten years McCullin has focused his lens closer to home, on the landscapes that surround his house in Somerset. At this event he talks about the complex relationship between the two very different sides of his photographic career with broadcaster and journalist, Alex Clark.
McCullin worked for the Sunday Times for 18 years and covered every major conflict in his adult lifetime until the Falklands War. The finest photojournalist of his generation, he has received many honours including a CBE. He received a knighthood in the 2017 New Year Honours List.
Don McCullin will be signing books in the Burlington Gardens Wohl Entrance Hall, outside Pace Gallery, from 5–5.45pm on the day of the event, Friday 14 September. Free, no need to book.
What's the best thing you've seen this year?
The Charles I exhibition (it's an RA show but that's coincidental).
The following, for the spiritual energy lighting and composition: Stieglitz, Francis Frith, Peter H. Emerson and Alvin Langdon Coburn.
Don't follow the war route; train the lens on social struggles in your cities. It's important to keep your eyes open and have a liberal mindset (not politically speaking), to listen to music, read, travel and show humanity. All this aids the creative spirit.


They say the average wedding in Southern California costs $33,000.
The mortgage consultant in me – the one who gives clients a stern lecture about taking the cashout from their refinance and putting it towards their daughter's college fund or putting it back into their homes (great for value appreciation) instead of blowing it on a spiffy sportscar that strokes their egos and nothing more- can't even comprehend how a couple-unless one of them had a last name like Trump or Hilton- could spend that kind of money on the Big Day. I know it's the most important day in every couple's life but $33,000 ? Come on! You can pay the closing costs and the down payment on a starter home. A starter home which would give you major tax deductions, and grow in equity over the years.
Having worked as an ad agency account exec prior to becoming a mortgage consultant, I also had to handle some event planning for my clients. We would do a decent markup on the vendor items, but it's interesting how the mere mention of the word 'wedding' is reason enough for the markups to go through the roof.
So, we decided to take on the $7,000 Cheap Chic Wedding Challenge, of course. But how does one go about having a simple, elegant wedding for $7,000 in Los Angeles ?
I have planned enough successful events in the past to where we can do without a wedding planner. I make handmade paper as a hobby so we will be making our own custom wedding invitations. We just walked through the L.A. Fashion District over the weekend and found a store that would sell us two 50 yard-rolls of tulle for only $60, and 20 yards of gabardine for $1/yard (the vendor was going to charge us the same amount to rent it, but I intend to do something arts-and-craftsy with the runner after the wedding). I found these elegant burgundy floor-length gowns with intricate beadwork for my bridesmaids at $76. Corey found beautifully made black paisley vests ($29) and ivory shirts ($15) that his groomsmen could wear over and over at special occasions, and that was just the start. We didn't make it down to the Wholesale Flower Mart before they closed but we know we'll find some really sweet deals there as well.
Will we meet the $7,000 Cheap Chic Wedding Challenge? Who knows, but it's a lot of fun to try. Plus, it's one way to ensure that we won't be up to our eyebrows in wedding debt when we're pronounced husband and wife!


Tonight is my sixth week of volleyball, a sport I hadn't played since primary school. It's damn fun, and we're pretty good. In fact, we're 10-0 heading into tonight's match-up.
Tonight we play the only other 10-0 team. It's a battle for first overall in this 12 team league, and in true Gilmour-lke fashion, I'm ready to kick it up a notch and elevate my game to match the occasion.
It's gut-check time. You can cut the intensity with a knife.
We lost 25-18 and 25-22.
It's a corporate league, but these guys are an actual team and don't all work together.

This workshop explores childhood grief (i.e. death of a parent, sibling or significant other), which can affect children's development, relationships, achievement, and later effectiveness in life.
We will describe normal grief and the grieving process and then discuss how this may be compounded by complex trauma. The information will be useful for social & community services professionals, parents, foster carers, educators, and others working with children who are experiencing intense grief responses.

This thesis traces some of the modulations in the figuration, role and functioning of memory from the Mycenaean civilisation to the Hellenistic period of ancient Greece before taking up a reading of the modern continental philosophical engagements with this inheritance and the question concerning the irreducible mediations which lie between us and this Greek heritage. The works of Plato, Jean-Pierre Vernant, Marcel Detienne, Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida are read, among others, within this study.

The mass shooting that happened during Jason Aldean's closing performance at Las Vegas' Route 91 Harvest Festival was a nightmare no one should ever experience.
Aldean was five songs into the sold-out event's final performance on Oct. 1, 2017, when gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on the crowd from a suite at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds more, making it the deadliest mass murder in American history.
From his vantage point onstage, Aldean witnessed a massacre he will never be able to un-see again.
When Aldean returns to Las Vegas for the 53rd annual ACM Awards, it will be one of his first trips back to Vegas since he visited with victims hospitalized after the shooting.
"Britt and I were there together," Aldean said, "and so her and I lean on each other for that stuff. My mom, my dad, my sister, and people like that weren't there. More than anything, we were already a pretty tight family, but I think it brought us closer in a lot of ways, too.
Healing from the shooting continued on Sunday (April 1) in Las Vegas with a reverent six-month anniversary tribute to the 58 lives lost. According to the Las Vegas Sun, approximately 300 victims returned to the city to walk down the Las Vegas Strip to the festival site. Along the way, they carried orange and purple glow sticks, signifying the festival's official colors.
Organizers for the ACM Awards are planning a special tribute for the victims on the night of the show. Reba McEntire will host the telecast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 15. Aldean heads to the ACMs with two nominations for entertainer and male vocalist of the year.

I made a cross country drive and decided to spend a little more for a hotel this night due to the following day being exceptionally longer on the road. Check-in was great, the staff members were very friendly. Parking here is strange, with several little parking lots. Lots felt very sketchy and I spent the evening peeking out the window now and then and feeling uneasy with my car being there. The hotel itself was old looking and a bit run down. I needed a pet room but I had stayed at several hotels at this point and their pet rooms were wonderful. The room itself wasn't terrible, nice laminate wood floors with a lovely rug, comfortable beds and pillows, nice mural on the one wall. However, the glass doors to the balcony had duct tape on them, walls had marks on them, and the lamp shade looked like someone spilled red kool-aid all over it. My friends pillow had hair on it but she just ended up using another. My biggest complaint was the bathroom -- I was embarrassed for the hotel. The water in the shower drained so painfully slow that after a short shower the water was past your ankles. The toilet seat was peeling away and looked disgusting. The ceiling was peeling and looked like they were dealing with mold. The door to the bathroom wouldn't stay shut. They made a solid attempt at trying to clean the bathroom but it was absolutely horrid. Salt Lake City was beautiful but this hotel was definitely not anything worth the amount that we paid for it. I would not recommend.

Walking into lobby could not find front desk, happened to hear & see a man talking to someone who was working a computer at a temporary set up. This person was the front desk. Never greeted us or looked up. Had to ask for map of area & places to eat. Rug in our room was dirty with hair & crumbs. Had to ask maid twice to vacuum rug. Was not her room but agreed to do it. Bathroom walls were rough looking. Towels & linens were clean. Bed was comfortable.
Nice hotel, not too far from downtown. Accommodating staff.

In their Navigating 2019 report, RBC Economics explores the bigger trends that may shape the year and beyond. John Stackhouse, RBC Senior Vice President of the Office of the CEO, offers a few takeaways from the report.
The world sailed into 2018 on the winds of confidence, with markets surging and growth abounding. It crash-landed at the close. The Dow Jones ended down for the first time since the financial crisis, and lost ground for only the second time in a decade.
Will the new year bring new resolve? Or new fear?
A little of both, most likely, but we think there's still hope for some good times ahead.
At RBC Economics, we used the recent market volatility to step back and look at some of the bigger trends that may shape 2019 and beyond. Our report, Navigating 2019, offers hope for a continued expansion, although we still harbour concerns over trade and investment.
How will rising interest rates impact heavily-indebted consumers? A lot. With two rate hikes expected in 2019, the average household will pay $1,000 more to service its debts. Some good news: we expect household incomes to rise more than that. But let's not get too Pollyannaish. Expect some belt-tightening in 2019 as households cut back on big ticket purchases like new cars and trucks.
Low interest rates went hand-in-hand with rising house prices. But just because rates are now rising, don't expect a major decline in 2019. We see prices in Canada's major cities holding steady in 2019, thanks to Canada's lowest unemployment rate in more than 40 years and the fastest-growing population in the G7. A soft landing is in the cards. Not welcome news for potential homebuyers, as affordability will only worsen in the year ahead.
They're here to stay. Tough for employers, and good news for job-seekers, especially highly skilled ones. Many employees this year may be enticed to demand pay increases – a rarity in recent years – or switch employers to get the same result. Employers should start thinking long-term about staffing needs. Through the 2020s, more than 270,000 people are expected to retire – every year.
Households aren't the only ones carrying big debt loads. Governments will also see their spending options dwindle as rates rise. Over the next half decade, debt charges will be the second fastest-growing spending item for the federal government, after seniors' benefits.
5. Better Oil Market Conditions.
In the energy sector, the price gap between Canadian and international oil that dominated headlines last year will be smaller in 2019, after the Alberta government's production cuts and purchase of rail cars to ship crude.
Can Canadian businesses compete on the world stage? The answer has tended to revolve around taxes, but an equal challenge may be red tape. Consider this: It takes longer to get construction permits in Canada than in any other G7 country. Ottawa's Fall Economic Statement included both tax measures and a deregulation plan. If there's progress on the latter, it could go a long way to closing Canada's competitiveness gap.
Trade tensions between the U.S. and China will loom large over the global economy, with Canada caught in the crossfire. As worrisome as that bigger dispute may be, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact it touches only a small fraction of total trade for the U.S. and China. Of course, a full-blown trade war would lead to more stock market volatility, more uncertainty over business investment, and potentially higher prices for consumers. Anything less won't eat heavily into global growth.


Folks, for you film shooters still out there you should be really happy- the Diana Camera is back [I still have my original one]. It's being produced by some company called Unica and I can virtually guarantee they are going to make a killing on it. I mean, it is a crappy plastic body with a plastic lens- how much could it really cost? Back when I used to shoot film through this badboy I used to have to gaff tape the entire thing up because there were light leaks all over the place. I highly recommend buying one of these though, if you think a Holga camera is the coolest thing ever, you haven't played with this amazing piece of work yet.
Jeff Sipper - nice… I bought a Diana a few years ago to play with.. got a good deal at about $25… shot a couple rolls of film.. thought ti was fun, but really didn't use it as much as my Holga… threw it up on Ebay, and it sold for around $75… nice profit!
Now, if I could only find a way to get a digi-back for my Holga!

Stone can be categorized into three groups: gemstones, semi-precious stones, and coarser varieties.
Gemstones cut in different ways were used to embellish jewelry and weapons. Semi-precious stones such as rock crystal, jade, carnelian, and jasper were used to make small, finely worked luxury items, from jugs to dagger hilts, but also for seals. In addition, they were employed as an inlay material for pietra dura work.
Marble, alabaster, and sandstone are the varieties of stone that were most often utilized for architectural decorations, from capitals and wall reliefs to jalis and inscription panels. They were also used for other sculptural purposes, for example tombstones and fountains.
Stucco is an artificial material that consists of lime, marble dust, and gypsum. It was used extensively for wall decorations in both low and high relief in Iraq and Iran during the 8th and 9th century. The stucco technique perhaps reached its culmination in Nasrid Spain.

Over the counter 'morning after pill' receives positive response
The morning-after pill will be available over the counter as from this Thursday, the Gibraltar Government confirmed yesterday.
The morning after pill is currently available on prescription at the Primary Care Centre.
"Patient choice is a vital part of good modern healthcare," a Government spokesman said.
The announcement was made yesterday in answer to GBC questions and the morning-after pill will be available for purchase at a retail cost over the counter from pharmacies.
At the moment a GP or Nurse Practitioner can prescribe the morning-after pill during a consultation and after full discussion of a patient's best options. However, a patient may prefer to seek the advice of a Pharmacist and may decide that they would rather purchase this medication.
"Our Pharmacists are fully trained to offer this service and patient choice and involvement in their own healthcare decisions is fully supported and very much welcomed," said the Government spokesman.
"Safe care is paramount and as such there will be safeguards in place to ensure that patients receive full information before making the choice to purchase the morning-after pill in a Pharmacy."
The pharmacist will then be required to go through questions concerning allergies, other medical conditions and medications.
According to the Government, the questions have not been designed to be intrusive, but to ensure that patient safety is maintained at all times.
Additionally, an information leaflet will be given out with every morning-after pill purchased to provide information such as how to take it and any side effects.
In accordance with the UK General Medical Council's guidance, a doctor is not obliged to prescribe or recommend any medication or treatment to which they have a moral objection.
That doctor, however, must then make arrangements for the patient to see another doctor and never compromise the highest standards of care for a patient.
This applies to the morning after pill. In the Primary Care Centre, three doctors out of 23 are not willing to prescribe this particular medication. Patients, however, are advised of this if they specifically ask before booking an appointment and they can very easily see another GP or Nurse Practitioner on the day.
Independent MP Marlene Hassan Nahon welcomed the new initiative introduced by the Government.
"This is a positive move that I feel will help to empower our young women in determining their futures," Mrs Hassan Nahon said.
"Although the use of such measures may be a sensitive issue locally, the fact is that single or married women, who may be at a time in their lives where they cannot raise a child for a number of reasons, will now have the choice of ensuring they do not become pregnant if other methods fail."
"The GHA should be congratulated for this measure, however long overdue, which will put us on a par with most other European legislations and allow greater freedom for women and couples to plan their futures."
The Equality Rights Group has also welcomed the move and said they will continue to press the Government to improve healthcare in the field of sexual health.
