PN Member Glyn Ford Speaks at EU-Korea Seminar
PN Member Glynn Ford,will be delivering the Welcoming address at the European Institute for Asian Studies' Briefing Seminar: "Reflecting on 50 Years of EU-Korea Relations". Taking place in Brussels, Belgium on November 15, 2013 from 10:30-12:00, the seminar marks and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Korea and the EU. Over this period of time, bilateral ties between Korea and the EU have progressively been consolidated. The EU is now Korea's second largest trading partner and its largest investor. Cooperation between Korea and the EU is ever increasing over time: Korea and the EU agreed to launch a Strategic Partnership on the occasion of the Korea-EU Summit held in Brussels on 6 October 2010, ensuring a high level of commitment from both sides. The Korea-EU Framework Agreement (FA) was signed in May 2010 and follow-up measures are underway for its entry into force, addressing a wide range of international concerns, such as weapons of mass destruction, human rights, climate change and development assistance. Furthermore, the Korea-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) entered into force on 1 July 2011. This briefing seminar intends to be a follow-up to the EU-Korea Summit that will be held on 8 November in Brussels, and will also provide the opportunity to reflect on 50 years of bilateral relations and outlook for the future.
10:30-10:35 Welcome remarks by the Chair Mr Glyn Ford, Board Member, European Institute for Asian Studies
10:35-10:50 Keynote Address by H.E. Mr Chang-beom Kim, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to the Kingdom of Belgium and the European Union
10:50-11:30 Panel Discussion
Dr Gerhard Sabathil, Director, North East Asia and the Pacific, European External Action Service (EEAS)
Dr Brian McDonald, former EU ambassador to Korea

The laboratories of the Visual Cognition Research Group are located at the Center for Mind & Brain, an interdisciplinary research center at UC Davis. The Center for Mind & Brain houses 19 core faculty in its two dedicated buildings, and it is an internationally acclaimed center of excellence for research in the mind and brain sciences.
Our sensory worlds are filled with information, but we are only aware of a small proportion of it at any particular moment in time. Attention is the mechanism that prioritizes processing according to our goals. But what determines what our goals are and how well we can maintain them over time and in the face of distractions? Research in the lab focuses on how behavioral goals and prior experiences interact with sensory events to determine perception and cognition. To study these topics we use a combination of eye-tracking, psychophysics, fMRI and EEG/ERPs, and work with others to use TMS, pharmacology and patient studies.
The Visual Cognition Lab investigates how information about the visual world is acquired, identified, retained in memory and manipulated by the cognitive system to support thought and to guide behavior. We approach vision as an active process, and our goal is to understand visual cognition in real-world activities, with a particular emphasis on scene viewing and reading. To study these topics we use eyetracking in combination with fMRI, ERP, and computational modeling.
Our laboratory focuses on the neural and cognitive mechanisms of attention and working memory in healthy young adults and dysfunction of cognition and emotion in psychiatric and neurological disorders (especially schizophrenia). We also work to develop and promote ERP methods, including a yearly 10-day NIH-funded summer workshop (the ERP Boot Camp) and an open-source Matlab toolbox (ERPLAB Toolbox).
Our laboratory uses a cognitive neuroscience approach to investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms of voluntary and reflexive attention in humans. We bring to bear a variety of complementary tools to study attention, including behavioral and psychophysical methods, human electrophysiological measures, and functional neuroimaging. Behavioral and psychophysical methods permit us to analyze the properties of the human attention system and how attention influences perception and performance. ERP recordings permit a fine-grained view of the temporal properties of attentional control and selection. Finally, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used to investigate the functional brain anatomy of the attention system and where in the brain attention influences various information processing transactions during perception and action.
The Infant Cognition Lab studies the origins and early development of mental abilities in infancy. In general, this work is motivated by the perspective that cognitive abilities work together, and that our understanding of cognitive development in infancy is enriched by studying the interaction of multiple systems.
The Neurocognitive Development Lab uses eyetracking and brain imaging techniques to investigate the development of dorsal and ventral visual processing, object representation, numerical cognition, and affective processing. By using behavioral measures and neuroimaging techniques, our lab strives to elucidate the complex brain-behavior relationships that underlie cognitive development in typical and atypical populations including fragile X syndrome, autism spectrum disorder and Down syndrome.

Q: Rails Many to Many Filter Model I'm working on a Rails app and I have a model called "Component" which represents the components that make up a system I look after. I'd like to create filters to display only certain subsets of these components.
I've created a many to many relationship between the "Component" and "Filter" models. I'd like to set up a form for editing the filters that displays all of the components with check boxes next to them to indicate whether the filter should display these components. A component may be visible in many filters hence many to many.
I'm relatively new to Ruby/Rails so I'm not really sure how to do this, can anybody help me out?

A: Start by watching this Railscast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/165-edit-multiple
Once you've got an idea about how to setup these kind of forms, flip through this presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/calamitas/restful-best-practices
That'll help give you some ideas about how your resources may need to be set up. You probably want to think about having a has_many :through relationship so you get a proper join model, something like ComponentFilters.
Then you have a ComponentFilters controller, and your edit view can create a table with components on one axis, filters on the other, and checkboxes for each combination. Those checkboxes should be setup to send the id of the filter and the component you're associating -- ie creating a NEW ComponentFilter record.
I hope this gives you a start on how to think about it. As you progress through if you have more specific questions come back and ask them :)

If there is a way to disable the "Related Threads" on mobile, can someone please advise how? If not, can this *please* be added? Thanks.
I have both of these disabled on the PC, but want he ability in mobile (and don't want to use the "View full site" mode).
Sorry I missed the mobile part. You are correct this can not be disabled on mobile.
This is probably a better question for IB team but I'll try my best lol. The infinite scroll works better for mobile so you don't have to reload a whole entire web page every time so this option is not able to be disabled and infinite scroll and related threads are tied together so in turn related threads cant be disabled. Maybe someone who knows more than me will chime in.
We have no plans to disable related threads on the mobile template at this time. We have continued to add spacing and banners to clearly show that there is another thread on deck if you continue scrolling to differentiate the threads.
Why not give users the option?
I am not the only one who finds this "feature" to be more of a problem than a benefit.
The more adds that scroll the more money for the site.
Yeah, I guess I should have thought of that.

Imagine a time machine transporting you back to the nineties. Buenos Aires feels like a mix of Italy, Spain and France in that era. Decades-old cars (meticulously maintained) in the tree-lined streets, no electric cars or other signs of 'modern' technology in the cobblestoned streets, dilapidated once-grand buildings, lots of sidewalk cafes and people taking it easy.
Remember seeing telegraph poles covered in flyers, from before the internet era? They still use those paper announcements in Buenos Aires. You see them everywhere!
Economically and politically, Argentina is bad news. Extreme inflation; even middle class Argentinians cannot travel abroad because of the poor exchange rate and many 'normal' people are forced to live in the streets. Some of my local friends try to see the positive side: "the situation stimulates entrepreneurship", but everybody agrees the situation is very sad indeed. For visitors from abroad there is some good news: everything is extremely cheap in Argentina: accommodation, food, transport, entertainment, etc. And by visiting you also stimulate the economy, have a great experience and meet wonderful people.
This blog is not meant to give insights into the delicate field of politics or economics, but I did want to set some context before I share the tips and experiences of my 5-week-stay in Buenos Aires. This is the third time I visited Argentina. In 2005 I wrote a Dutch blog about my travels in the country, in 2015 I wrote an English blog about my month stay in Buenos Aires. I fell in love with the city, so I came back again.
My main reason to come back was tango. Three years ago I gave myself a challenge to learn the dance and I found a completely new way of being; a lifestyle instead of just some steps.
Many foreigners want to experience the tango feeling and go to a tourist show; either an expensive dinner show or a demonstration in a touristy place such as Plaza Dorrego. Three years ago this was also my first tango experience and I was still impressed. With help of my friend and teacher ***Adrian Luna***, I became more aware of the social tango scene, where people dance to connect, not for the show. I really enjoyed the Milongas (tango dance evenings) for mostly older locals, such as Salon Canning and Club Gricel (one of the most traditional milongas). These gives you a wonderful sense of the tango scene, either to dance or watch. Famous historic tango bar (featured in the movie 'Fermin') Los Laureles: you can enjoy a traditional dinner and watch and dance. In La Catedral, an eclectic, almost 'hippie' place, there are more foreigners and you can take your first class, but there are also good local dancers.
If you want to dance or watch the locals, this website lists all the milongas for each day.
Want private classes? My teacher Adrian Luna combines tango with coaching (tango as a mirror), resulting in a life changing experience. I also took some classes with Mariana Soler, who has beautiful insights about connection.
The Airbnb I stayed in, wasn't remarkable enough to mention, but the area I stayed in, is. I love Palermo. Around Plaza Armenia there are a lot of cafes and trendy shops, but I always stay just a few blocks away, so I get the local feel on a daily basis and the trendiness when I want. The area I stayed this time is Thames / Paraguay.
Palermo has some really nice co-working spaces, based on the principle 'pay for the time you stay, not for what you consume'. You pay an hourly rate between 90 and 135 pesos (about €2-3) including all drinks, snacks and sometimes even lunch. Internet is super fast (an exception in the country) and it is an opportunity to meet other coworkers. My favorite local place is Cafe Flor.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid book store in an old theatre.
Puerto Madero: High end strolling by the water.
I did not do this myself, but some of my friends like this bike tour of the city with knowledgeable Dutch guides.
Want to do something artistic with locals? Take some watercolor painting classes with the 'master' Vladimir Merchensky at Arte Tantatinta.
On the corner of my street is your typical 'friendly neighborhood grill' Las Horas. The food is OK (you can hardly go wrong with a 'parrilada' or grill in Argentina), and the service is the best I've had in my entire stay. The mostly Venezuelan waiters were super friendly and treated me as neighbors.
Las Pizarras, very nice, always busy, make a reservation.
Don Julio, very high end, always full, need to reserve well in advance.
La Carniceria, Anchoita, Uco, Gran dabbang, Proper and La Alacena.
Talking about wines: Vico wine bar offers a new, 'modern' way of wine tasting: you get a 'credit card' which enables you to try different wines (also small quantities) displayed throughout the store. Each wine has an explanation and a price and knowledgeable sommeliers are there to give more info and help you choose.
Just 40 minutes rive from the city is Tigre: the gateway to the Parana delta. Many locals flock here during the weekend for a getaway on the water. Around Tigre it is quite busy and 'touristy' (mostly locals); many locals own holiday houses here. Boat-buses are the local form or transport. The further you get away from Tigre, the more quiet it becomes. I went to a resort called La Becasina, in the middle of nature, with only 12 cabanas on stilts above the water. All inclusive, a luxury getaway in an unlikely location. Recommended!


I bought this not expecting much. It really surprised me!!! Great Quality for the price. The tube lights out evenly. It is easy to grasp and it has an easy to activate button. (I had bought the blue light saber but that one was too dim) .... Go with the green one, It is totally worth it! V.
So happy with the lightsaber lighting up. The glow effect looked awesome in the dark.very happy kids & a great price.

European and US regulators approve AbbVie's new combo for all hepatitis C genotypes
Liz Highleyman
The European Commission and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week approved AbbVie's new combination pill for people with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes 1 to 6, to be marketed as Maviret in the European Union and as Mavyret in the United States.
Maviret is a fixed-dose co-formulation containing the NS3/4A protease inhibitor glecaprevir and the NS5A inhibitor pibrentasvir; both drugs are being approved for the first time.
"Maviret is an 8-week, pan-genotypic treatment for non-cirrhotic patients new to treatment with chronic hepatitis C that met all primary efficacy endpoints in its extensive HCV clinical trial program, achieving high cure rates," said Prof Stefan Zeuzem of J.W. Goethe University Hospital in Frankfurt, one of the glecaprevir/pibrentasvir trial investigators. "Maviret offers a new therapy for the majority of HCV patients and removes many complexities of pre-treatment patient evaluation."
Severe fibrosis, or scarring of organs. The structure of the organs is altered, and their function diminished. The term cirrhosis is often used in relation to the liver.
The hepatitis B virus can be spread through sexual contact, sharing of contaminated needles and syringes, needlestick injuries and during childbirth. Hepatitis B infection may be either short-lived and rapidly cleared in less than six months by the immune system (acute infection) or lifelong (chronic). The infection can lead to serious illnesses such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. A vaccine is available to prevent the infection.
compensated cirrhosis
The earlier stage of cirrhosis, during which the liver is damaged but still able to perform most of its functions.
Child-Pugh score
A classification system used to measure liver function, especially in people with chronic liver disease. The score includes 5 clinical measures of liver disease, including ascites, encephalopathy, serum bilirubin level, serum albumin level, and prothrombin time.
A drug that acts against a virus or viruses.
Maviret is indicated for previously untreated people, or those treated with prior interferon-based therapy, who have HCV genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and who either do not have liver cirrhosis or have compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A). Pangenotypic regimens that work against all genotypes have the potential to be used anywhere in the world without the need for prior genotypic testing.
Treatment with Maviret requires three combination pills taken together once daily with food. The recommended treatment duration may be 8, 12 or 16, depending on various factors. For previously untreated people, treatment duration is 8 weeks for those without cirrhosis and 12 weeks for those with compensated cirrhosis.
In the European indication, Maviret is not recommended for retreatment of people who previously used NS3A/4A protease inhibitors or NS5A polymerase inhibitors. In the US indication, it is approved for adults with HCV genotype 1 who were previously treated with either an NS3/4A inhibitor or an NS5A inhibitor, but not both.
The new therapy was approved based on clinical trials showing that it leads to high rates of sustained virological response, or continued undetectable HCV at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12), which is considered a cure. AbbVie's application for approval was supported by data from nine registrational trials that tested glecaprevir/pibrentasvir in approximately 2300 people with or without compensated cirrhosis in 27 countries, according to the company.
In the Phase 3 ENDURANCE trials, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir taken for 8 or 12 weeks cured 98 to 100% of treatment-naive and treatment-experienced people without cirrhosis with HCV genotypes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.
In ENDURANCE-3, the combo taken for either 8 or 12 weeks cured 95% of people with HCV genotype 3 and cirrhosis – considered one of the most difficult groups to treat.
More news from Western and Central Europe
Results presented at this year's EASL International Liver Congress showed that glecaprevir/pibrentasvir is highly effective in people with cirrhosis. In the EXPEDITION-1 study 99% of people with HCV genotypes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 who had early cirrhosis achieved SVR12 with 12 weeks of therapy.
As reported at last month's IAS Conference on HIV Science, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir cured 98% of people with HIV/HIV co-infection in the EXPEDITION-2 trial. In addition, the combo was highly effective for people with hepatitis C with chronic kidney disease, including those on dialysis, in EXPEDITION-4.
Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir was generally safe and well tolerated in clinical trials, with few serious drug-related adverse events or drug discontinuations for this reason. The most common adverse events associated with the combination were headache, fatigue, nausea and diarrhoea, which in most cases were mild.
Maviret is not recommended for people with significant liver function impairment (Child-Pugh class B), and it is contraindicated for those with decompensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class C). The drugs in Maviret can interact with several other medications, which could lead to subtherapeutic drug levels or more intense side-effects. It should not be used with the HIV protease inhibitor atazanavir (Reyataz) or the tuberculosis medication rifampicin. It is not recommended with a number of other medications including darunavir (Prezista), lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra), efavirenz (Sustiva), the anti-seizure drug carbamazepine or St John's wort.
As is the case with all direct-acting antivirals, curing hepatitis C can trigger hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation, which can lead to severe liver injury. Anyone considering treatment with Maviret should be screened for HBV, and those with active HBV should receive hepatitis B antiviral therapy.

The Hepatitis Drug Market Is Worse Than Wall Street Realises
Slowing hepatitis C drug sales have taken a bite out of Gilead's share price.This is a smart retreat for Merck and J&J. The HCV market is well past its peak. Both of their new therapies would have been very late; AbbVie and Gilead both had new drugs approved this year. Their best hope likely would have been to compete on price in a market that's been warring over price for a while.

Is HCV Drug Development Nearing Its End?
The FDA recently approved two new combination regimens for hepatitis C, raising the question of whether further drug development is warranted in this area. Experts agree, however, that more remains to be done in terms of implementation: getting everyone at risk screened for HCV infection, and getting those who test positive on effective treatment.
J&J unit ends hepatitis C drug development in crowded market
Janssen Sciences Ireland UC, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, said it would discontinue further development of its hepatitis C research, citing increased availability of a number of effective hepatitis C therapies.


In this clip Margaret uses a gesture that Adrian offered in the car on the way to rehearsal and asks the company to develop it. Often Adrian offers material during the journey ready to use in the rehearsal. She reminds him that he was very careful with the gesture. She transposes the material from one body to many and expands it in time and space. The company then take this work to the site and continue to develop it outside the chapel doors. Placing the work on site shifts how we read it, bringing additional meaning to both the place and the gesture. The place is performed and meaning invoked through the positioning of the gesture within it.
In this clip Adrian is seen creating material. Margaret asks Adrian if he wants the performers to be standing up or sitting down and he says 'down on the floor'. She asks Adrian if he is ready to do something and he nods yes. Margaret asks Adrian to begin work. He says it is not him who is doing the work and she tells him that it is him. She asks what he is doing as he begins, sees he is at work and asks the company to follow. This is a typical approach to making work with Cyrff Ystwyth. The company follow the choreographer and then refine the material individually. This is a task of memory and personal adaptation to the initial choreographic idea on offer.
The discussion is about Cyrff Ystwyth as a family and a place that we come to. Margaret is also narrating to the group where we have arrived in the work and what it might signify. She tells the story of the work as she understands it. Margaret speaks about how she is making connections but does not really know if she is correct. This is important as it allows for many meanings to emerge from a collective response. A structure, narrative or set of possibilities is used as a way to go forward but does not prescribe any direction. This clip shows how such discussions are interspersed with, and feed into, the rehearsal practice. The company are seen rehearsing and developing a section with the ghost with Adrian leading. We also see rehearsals of the section with hymns in the studio. Margaret prompts the company and acts a rehearsal director.
In the studio, Margaret goes to a picture that Adrian had drawn of his nephew as a baby. As Margaret establishes the work the split screen shows this same sequence later in the process being rehearsed on site in the chapel. We see where the idea originated, how it was first developed and then how the company responded to the site and placed the material within it. There is a discussion about who wants to try a solo version of the material in the studio. It is the first time this material is clearly seen and understood. We see the relationship between the studio work and the on site development via solo experiments. This shows, also, how work can be productively contained and created in a studio in the development phase, gaining further resonance and meaning when it is then placed and performed on site.
Two moments from rehearsal are shown. The image on the left shows Adrian developing work. The performers follow his instructions. This has been rehearsed several times already but only in the studio and not on site. Pulling out to full screen we see how Adrian is leading the development of this section through modelling the actions, which are followed and refined by the other participants. This shows a particular mode of developing choreographic sequences which Cyrff Ystwyth employ, whereby Adrian's ideas and movements are firstly followed and then refined and developed in the individual bodies of the company.

MA, LMHC, CEO and Founder
"The couples I most like to work with are honestly the hardest couples — the high conflict, in crisis, sometimes right-on-the-edge-of-divorce folks. Because in the end I truly believe that in crisis there is opportunity, and that when people are shook-up it's not just a sign of trouble but also of hope and potential. We have a chance to stick our hands in the fire and really change things and re-choreograph old, stuck patterns."
The Founder and Director of the Center, Kerry mixes heart, grit, rigor and irrepressible creativity to bring couples out of crisis. She has spent years refining an approach to couples work that is grounded in the latest state-of-the-art science of the field and tempers it with her own unique blend of make-it-work practicality.
Research shows that people learn best when they're put into situations similar to where they are struggling, and Kerry's strength lies in skillfully guiding couples into those places where the emotion is rawest but where opportunities for growth are most significant. Kerry is regarded by many as the go-to couples therapist when all else fails.
Ask me about: Iceland. Claw hammer banjo and guitar. The intersection between art and therapy. Making the perfect pizza.
Ever since I was young, I've been: Acutely aware of heartbreak and beauty. Of the mindset that if we can't grasp our mortality and how fleeting life is and get our heads around the deep call to love and do no harm in the face of impermanence, then we're in real trouble.
Favorite quote: "The obliterated place is equal parts destruction and creation. The obliterated place is pitch black and bright light. It is water and parched earth. It is mud, and it is manna. The real work of deep grief is making a home there". — Cheryl Strayed
Favorite kind of couples: I love all types of couples. I think staying coupled and attending couples therapy is an inherently brave stance in this world. I have tremendous respect for any couple who takes that risk.

Netflix has welcomed 16 million new subscribers from onset of coronavirus
While many other industries have suffered due to the onset of the coronavirus outbreak, streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, and Disney+ have exploded with revenue in the past few months
By ZACHARY KEYSER
An illustration photo shows the logo of Netflix, the American provider of on-demand internet streaming media.
Netflix has added nearly 16 million users to its subscriber base since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
With billions of people following shelter-in-place orders worldwide, streaming service usage has skyrocketed in the past couple months. Netflix has benefited greatly from the sweeping lockdown protocols in its first fiscal quarter – catapulting past the initial forecast sent to their investors at the start of the year. The streaming service is projecting an additional 7.5 million subscribers in the second quarter.
"At Netflix, we're acutely aware that we are fortunate to have a service that is even more meaningful to people confined at home, and which we can operate remotely with minimal disruption in the short to medium term. Like other home-entertainment services, we're seeing temporarily higher viewing and increased membership growth," Netflix wrote in a letter to its shareholders on Monday.
However, the streaming giant would like their investors to stay realistic for the long term, as they note that in the third and fourth quarters, subscriptions are projected to be "light" in comparison to the first two quarters - once lockdown orders are lifted and people can comfortably leave their homes again.
"We expect viewing to decline and membership growth to decelerate as home confinement ends, which we hope is soon," Netflix added. "By helping people connect with stories they love, we are able to provide comfort and escape as well as a sense of community during this pandemic. So our focus has been on maintaining the quality of our service while our employees around the world adapt to working from home."
While many other industries have suffered due to the onset of the coronavirus outbreak, streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, YouTube and Disney+ have exploded with revenue in the past few months, with the latter gaining over 50 million subscribers in only five months - far surpassing initial predictions when the service was released late last year.
Netflix has recently captivated audiences sheltering in place with shows such as true-crime drama Tiger King and a new dating show called Too Hot To Handle. This show puts ten sexed-up strangers in a house together who believe they are there for a summer filled with fun, only to tell them they have to abstain from all sexual activity 12 hours into the retreat, with a prize of $100,000 on the line keeping them in check. Too Hot To Handle has been the most popular show in Israel and worldwide since its introduction last week, and Tiger King took the world by storm in the first month of lockdown, becoming the biggest Netflix hit series since Stranger Things.
A new series about Michael Jordan's 1997-98 basketball season with the Chicago Bulls called The Last Dance has also been very popular since it dropped earlier this week.
Although Netflix is still churning out content, the pandemic has forced the halting of filmed productions worldwide, impeding Netflix's ability to produce new content for their binge-watching audience. It is important for the entertainment company to release new content and new shows for their users to choose from throughout the year in order to maintain their subscriber base, especially with users having the ability to watch a full Netflix series in a day – if they possess the stamina and dedication.
While this will definitely be a bridge for Netflix to cross in the future, as of last quarter the company added 2.3 million new customers from Canada to their subscriber base, as well as 7 million from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. And with production costs at an all time low, for the first time since 2014 Netflix has finally reached a "positive free cash flow," producing $162 million dollars in the first quarter, according to Bloomberg.
"When it comes to production, almost all filming has now been stopped globally, with the exception of a few countries like Korea and Iceland. This has been devastating for millions of workers in the TV and film industry - electricians, hair and make-up artists, carpenters and drivers who are often paid hourly wages and work project-to-project," Netflix told their shareholders.
"In our 20+ year history, we have never seen a future more uncertain or unsettling. The coronavirus has reached every corner of the world and, in the absence of a widespread treatment or vaccine, no one knows how or when this terrible crisis will end."

1835, Fairleigh Hall, England
Vaughn Wardell, Viscount Rothmere, only heir of the Marquis of Fairleigh, stepped from the carriage and looked up at the three-story manor he hadn't seen in nearly two decades. Fairleigh Hall hadn't changed at all. The grounds were still immaculate, and the impressive manor rivaled any in England.
He hated the sight of it.
The years he'd spent at Fairleigh Hall had been the worst of his life. Now, at the age of tweny-four, he had returned to this hideous heap of stone to save his future.
His gut clenched as it had when he heard the outrageous news. The thought was a despairing one: Kirkaldy, his mother's final gift, might be lost to him.
Little more than a glorified hunting lodge near Edinburgh, Kirkaldy had been his mother's only untainted possession. The days there, far from Fairleigh Hall and his father, had been the best of Vaughn's young life. At Kirkaldy, his mother had been carefree, even joyous. For that reason alone, Vaughn intended to plant himself like a weed here at Fairleigh Hall, a weed that refused to be pulled and discarded, until Kirkaldy's ownership had been determined.
Taking a deep breath, he walked up the thirteen steps to his father's home.
Vaughn had no trouble imagining the disapproval his father would convey upon his return. He'd learned years ago there was no pleasing Rufus Wardell. The only emotion Rufus had ever openly shown him had been when he'd announced Vaughn would be leaving for boarding school. A cruel smile had curled his father's lips as he'd laid out the details of what would become twelve years of purgatory, hidden behind the walls of one of the best public schools in England. Though nearly a decade had passed since he had graduated, those memories still appeared in his dreams from time to time. They would wake him in the middle of the night, to cold sweat and a hurting heart, the bed sheets tangled around his legs.
The memory subsided as the door was opened. Joshua, his father's trusted valet, stared at him. "Good lord! I mean, Lord Vaughn." The valet's expression softened. "You've come home?" There was a buried hope in his tone.
Vaughn's chest tightened with fondness for the old man. While Vaughn had been growing up there had been countless occasions when he had been locked in the attic for yet another transgression. It had been Joshua who had slipped food, blankets and tallows to provide light through the long nights when not even his mother's pleadings had moved his father to release him.
Vaughn laid a hand on Joshua's shoulder. "I'm not here to stay," he said gently.
This time the disappointment in Joshua's eyes was easy to read. He stepped back, covering the emotion with formal pride. "Come in, my lord."
Vaughn handed over his coat, hat and gloves and strode through the broad entrance hall into the circular foyer that dominated the center of the building, where he halted. He turned a full circle on his heels, taking in the cold marble surfaces and massive round columns that lined the foyer in regimented pairs. They were dazzlingly lit by the glass dome on the roof that bathed the foyer in natural sunlight, showcasing the polished, untouched perfection of the green-flecked marble. The foyer was widely admired across five counties for its elegant, unusual design. Whenever his father loosened the purse strings enough to entertain, the foyer was thick with guests, dotted about the floor and the stairs, tucked into the recesses between the columns, gossiping.
But while everyone had appeared to enjoy the spectacular room, Vaughn's recollection of the foyer was a bitter one that caught at his throat. His gaze lingered on the staircase that swooped in a spiral to both upper floors. His pulse skittered at the sight of the thick stone balustrade on the first floor. That was where he had stood as a frightened ten-year old, his fingers trying to dig into the cold stone, watching his mother leave in the middle of the night.
She had promised to send for him, with as many kisses and hugs as she could manage before hurrying to escape the house. She had smelled of lavender and her hand against his cheek had been warm and delicate.
That had been the last time he'd seen her alive.
"Your father is at dinner. Shall I announce you?" Joshua asked, startling Vaughn and bringing him back to the present.
"And ruin the surprise?" Vaughn asked, already heading toward the high-arched French doors. Taking a calming breath, he opened the double doors and stepped inside.
The room was long and dim compared to the foyer. There were a row of tall sash windows along one wall and their limited light fell on a collection of large portraits and mediocre landscapes hanging from the picture rail on the other. Between was an ocean of expensive oriental carpets, pinned down on the edges by heavy, hand-carved buffets and occasional chairs. All of them framed the focal point of the room: a long Georgian mahogany dining table that easily seated thirty people.
There were not that many people dining this evening. In fact, there were only two. One was a woman sitting at the right of the head of the table, her back to Vaughn. This could only be his father's new fiancée, Elisa.
The woman who had ripped Kirkaldy from him.
She was to blame for all of this. It was because of her he had been forced back to Fairleigh Hall to confront Rufus.
The sight of her erect back filled him with a sudden sharp fury he hadn't suspected he held. His whole body tightened with it. She was ruining his life, taking away from him the only precious memories he owned.
Vaughn blinked, astonished at the power of the emotion that bubbled up inside him now that he was at the point of confrontation for which he had been bracing himself.
His attention was drawn to the short man sitting at the head of the table. Rufus Wardell was staring at him, his gray brows furrowing together in a frown Vaughn remembered well. Rufus' permanently red cheeks bracketed a big nose. Small muddy brown eyes sat above them. Even at sixty, Rufus' hair was thick, but it was coarse and dirty gray. With his short, rotund shape he might have appeared boyish, but because of the cruel light in his eyes and the cynical twist to his lips, Rufus looked more like a maniacal cherub.
He studied Vaughn as though he were trying to place him. He probably was. Vaughn was over six feet tall. He was broad across the shoulders thanks to hours as an adolescent taking his frustrations out upon various professional pugilists. There was nothing of the boy who had left Fairleigh Hall so very long ago.
After an endless moment, surprise crossed Rufus' face. He'd finally recognized him. "What the hell are you doing here, boy?" Rufus asked, his rasping voice bereft of any warmth.
Though Vaughn had anticipated his reaction, it still stung. "Thank you for the nice welcome, Father. It's a pleasure to see you, too."
It apparently disturbed Rufus Wardell not at all that this was the first return of the child he tossed out without regard nearly twenty years ago. No conscience appeared to stir him at the arrival of the son he had inexcusably wronged.
The anger squeezed Vaughn's throat and chest and nearly closed off his breath. He'd hoped there would have been some doubt, some chance of redemption, but there was none.
"Well, out with it!" Rufus glared at Vaughn. "You obviously have something on your mind, or you would not have traveled so far. Pray tell," he added with patently false politeness, "to what do I owe the pleasure of your company?"
"I'm not here to be polite, so you needn't extend yourself," Vaughn assured him.
"Then get out. I'm dining with the woman I intend to marry and your presence is not welcome." Rufus shot a look at Elisa, who sat in perfect stillness at the end of the table, her head bowed in imitation of a modest woman.
Vaughn's friends had been quick to advise him just how short on modesty the harlot was. He paused, trying to quell the hot tide of resentment rising in him. "It is about her that I am here," he said. He stepped around the end of the table to face Elisa, and swept into a low bow. The courtesy came automatically, as did the phrasing: "My lady, we have not had the pleasure of being introduced—"
—and then, he looked at her properly for the first time. Shock slithered through his veins, dispersing all the fury, resentment and indignation in one breathless moment.
As her large eyes glanced up at him, wide with apprehension, he stared at her, taking in her face and apparel, trying to estimate just how old she was. Blue eyes the same glorious shade as a bright summer sky stared back at him as she gave a hesitant, nervous smile. The smile drew his attention to her full, pleasantly pink lips and the white teeth behind.
Her skin was softly touched by the sun, but flawless and as he took her hand and bowed over it again, he noticed the cheeks bloom with hot color at his attention.
Absurdly, her coyness sent a thrill of pleasure through him.
He could not help but smile as he stepped back. She ducked her chin, unable to look at him directly. It was then he noticed the head of gleaming blonde curls the color of wheat. A silky ringlet tipped forward across her shoulder at her movement and he fought the temptation to brush it gently back.
She was so young…and sweetly, stunningly beautiful. The thought occurred to him with a shock that momentarily obliterated the sting of his father's cold welcome. With it came confusion, because although he had not heard how young his father's fiancée was, Vaughn was more than familiar with the rumors of her sordid past.
This was the woman who had brought on the death of her husband by her lover's hand? All of London had been abuzz with the news.
"Boy, you've grown tall and insolent," Rufus snarled. "I didn't pay good money all those years for you to learn bad manners."
Vaughn dragged his attention back to his father. "I'm paying my respects to the future lady of this splendid home." And he turned back to Elisa once more, to study her.
"You are most welcome, Vaughn. I am pleased to meet you at last," she responded with a tiny smile. Her voice was a low contralto, soft and unexpected.
He nodded one more time, before stepping back.
He had intended to leave the room, to let his father have his intimate dinner. It would be wiser to retreat for a while and regroup his defenses now his father had shown no punches were to be pulled in the trial that lay ahead.
Instead, he lowered himself into the chair opposite his father's fiancée. "Thank you, I will have a brandy," he told Rufus, answering the question a good host would have asked.
Rufus' upper lip curled and his eyes narrowed. He looked up at the manservant standing by the door of the dining room and jerked his head. Silently, the man glided to a buffet laid with decanters and crystal to pour the drink.
Vaughn glanced at Elisa again.
She delicately cut her meat into small pieces, lifted the fork and slid a piece into her mouth. A visible pulse beat at the base of the long column of her throat.
The servant placed the brandy in front of Vaughn. Rufus began to eat again, attacking his plate with furious gusto. With every loaded forkful of food he would take a big mouthful of claret. The red liquid dribbled from the corners of his mouth as he chomped vigorously.
Vaughn looked away, his disgust growing. Surely the man would try a bit harder in front of his intended? How could she contemplate marrying this gruesome imp? Or perhaps the money was worth it to her….
He looked back to the silent beauty on the other side of the table. He still could not believe this was the same woman of whom he'd heard tell. The gossips had spared him no detail: a bride at seventeen, wed to an aging count. A mother at nineteen and a cuckolded wife the same year. Then, swiftly, she had set about giving her husband his own set of horns. The gossips had been firm in their approval of her husband's reaction to her supposed whoring. He had taken the only honorable course of action an aggrieved husband could; he'd challenged her lover to a duel. No honor had been lost because he'd been killed. In fact, society had gathered about his grieving family and presented a solid, united front to anyone who dared to abuse the deceased lord's memory.
That had been years ago. In the aftermath, Elisa's name had quickly disappeared into shamed obscurity. No good woman or honorable gentleman would speak of her aloud in polite company. It had only been the relaxed bawdy banter around a late night card table that had alerted Vaughn to the fact Elisa had re-emerged from her exile. His card companions that night had thought it a superb jest his own father had proposed to her. Vaughn had gone along with the joke at the time, thinking the pair deserved each other.
The contradiction between her appearance and her past was indeed confusing.
She was pushing at a piece of the meat on her plate with her fork and Vaughn wondered if she did so to avoid looking up and seeing him watching her. Was she aware of him? By her sweet looks, he would have judged her an innocent, but her reputation told him she probably knew and understood every hot thought running through his mind.
Vaughn sipped at his brandy thoughtfully, alternatively watching Rufus eat and Elisa toy with her food. She really was a lovely creature, he realized. He was not at all surprised two men had fought to the death over her.
She touched her mouth with her napkin, then lifted a fingertip to slide it across her lips a second time, without the linen. It was unconsciously graceful and sensuous. Vaughn's body tightened with an old familiar ache, intensified beyond reason like a taut bow string stretched to the limits of endurance, vibrating with tension and packed with potential power to explode.
The realization slammed into Vaughn with the shock of ice water.
He wanted her.
And the wanting was not a casual, passing impulse. It was burning in him, pushing aside thought, reason, caution.
Vaughn stared at her, feeling his heart thump erratically and the beat echo in his temple. What was happening to him? Had he lost all good sense?
His thoughts were scattered when Rufus' hand thumped into his upper arm.
"You're silent, boy," Rufus said, not bothering to hide his loathing tone. "One would wonder why you're still sitting at the table if you've got nothing left to say."
"I'm finishing my brandy, thank you." The calm tone Vaughn produced took enormous willpower.
He saw Rufus' eyes swivel to glance at Elisa before glaring at him again. "That'd better be all, boy."
"I am hardly a boy, Father. You may call me 'son' if you would prefer, but as you've called me nothing at all these past twenty years, either in person or by correspondence, I won't insist upon it."
"If I am such a horrible father, then why are you here?" Rufus asked, one corner of his mouth turned upward in a mocking smile.
Vaughn's heart gave a little jump. This was it. This was the moment of confrontation he had been anticipating for three days. The anger that had been building for those three days renewed itself, washing over him in waves as he met Rufus' intent stare.
Elisa abruptly cleared her throat and the tiny sound reminded Vaughn of her presence. Suddenly, he was reluctant to discuss the matter in front of her, despite three days of mentally rehearsing the cutting speech he had intended to bestow upon his father regardless of who was there to see it. In truth, his rehearsal of the confrontation had always included the harlot Elisa on hand to hear all he had to say of his father's base qualities. Now, it seemed the height of rudeness to let his fury spill out unheeded while she watched.
"What brings you to Fairleigh Hall, boy?" his father asked again.
"I thought it was time to pay a visit before I settled in at Kirkaldy." The mention of his estate was intentional and he didn't blink as he waited for his father's response.
Rufus shifted in his chair. "So…will you be leaving at first light?"
Vaughn's indirect challenge had completely misfired.
"Surely it has not been twenty years since last you were here?" Elisa remarked, and Vaughn was grateful for the interruption, although irritated it was she who supplied it. He didn't want to be grateful to the whore. He didn't want any association with her at all. Now he must play out the little social by-play.
"Indeed, it has been twenty years. Fairleigh Hall has not changed in all that time. Tell me, Elisa, how do you find Fairleigh?"
She lightly touched the napkin to those pink lips. "It's very nice."
Her words completely lacked conviction, as well they should. The manor sat in rocky countryside and had little to offer anyone under the age of fifty. He could only imagine how lonely it would be for a young woman to live in such a cold, desolate place.
"I arrived a little over a month ago, along with my maid, Marianne."
So, her maid was with her. How very proper. "Do you ride?" he asked. He already knew she did. Rumors of her shocking skill in the saddle had reached every men's club in London and beyond. Vaughn's friends had taken great pleasure in telling him about his soon-to-be stepmother's shortcomings. She wasn't content to keep to a decorous trot upon a sidesaddle. In her teens she had ridden astride like any man, her dress hoisted up to her thighs to give her the freedom to ride recklessly.
It was rumored she had bested many men on horseback.
"I fear I have little time for riding these days."
He watched her intently. "Why not?"
His father slammed his drink down, bringing Vaughn's attention back to him. "Vaughn, you're making Elisa uncomfortable."
"He's not making me uncomfortable, Rufus," Elisa told him. She smiled soothingly at Rufus before glancing at Vaughn again. "I've missed riding."
"I'm certain Father has a vast array of mares to choose from."
"I've asked Rufus to go with me, but his back pain prevents him from doing so."
"Certainly a short ride wouldn't tax you too much, Father?"
Again, he received one of his father's icy glares. Rufus took a long drink of his claret, keeping his eye upon Vaughn. "I'm too old."
The response came from him unbidden, unplanned. "Very well, I'll ride with her, then."
His father's face turned purple with anger, but Vaughn barely heard what Rufus was trying to say, for he had seen Elisa's surprised expression. Then, briefly, a flare of joy followed by a soft, warm smile lifted her lovely full lips. The smile was for him and her eyes sparkled. Vaughn felt his heart give a painful leap in response.
Then abruptly, all expression was removed and her gaze dropped to her plate, as if she had suddenly remembered her place. But the afterglow bathed Vaughn in a heady warmth that threatened to make his hands tremble.
Rufus finally found his voice. "You'll not be here long enough to have idle time on your hands."
How like Rufus to dictate how and when he should come and go. Some of the earlier fury leapt in Vaughn's chest. "Father, long ago you gave up any right to tell me what I can and cannot do." His voice echoed his anger, emerging low and strained.
Rufus' eyes narrowed a little. The moment of silence between them grew and Vaughn knew his father was studying him anew, reassessing. Vaughn did not look away. He had no intention of backing down in this petty game of willpower.
Finally Rufus cleared his throat with a harsh hack and reached for the wine.
Vaughn drained his own brandy, needing the small sustenance, knowing he had won but a small victory that would make Rufus all the more determined to bring him down in the very near future. Rufus bent on vengeance was a dangerous man indeed.
While Rufus called for another decanter, swearing at the lack of foresight of the footman, Vaughn dared to glance at Elisa once more and he recognized fear in her eyes. She shook her head a little, her lips opening as if she breathed a warning. She understood what was happening then.
Vaughn smiled at her reassuringly, pretending a confidence he did not wholly feel.
Her hand came to her mouth as if she was distressed and she looked away. After a moment she looked back as if drawn, perhaps reluctantly.
Vaughn struggled to hide the shock her glance sent through him, for he had understood that searing gaze with perfect clarity.
Elisa wanted him, too.

"As lawyers embrace technology to better serve clients," he writes in his column this month, "the need to maintain personal interaction with the greater legal community is very real.

"We are allowed to stand on the shoulders of others who gave their time, effort and often their lives to ensure our democracy and the Rule of Law," writes Tennessee Bar Association President Jason Long about veterans. On this Veterans Day, Long urges lawyers to give back to those who have served our country but are unable to access help.

This is where lawyers can begin to repay." He encourages lawyers to help with legal clinics, especially those specifically for veterans, to say thank you by using "skills and talents as lawyers to assist those who have done the heavy lifting for us." Legal organizations in Knox County have partnered on a standing Veterans Legal Advice Clinic. The next clinic is set for Nov. 30 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Knox County Public Defender's Office, 1101 Liberty St., Knoxville 37912. Volunteers are always needed. Read Long's column in the Tennessee Bar Journal.
