Career Start GP Programme for First5 GPs
Dr Shawkat Hasan, NHS Tayside, Primary Care Services, Dundee
Previously, no formal system was in place to support and mentor newly qualified GP Trainees in their first few years of independent working. Some learnt how to cope on their own, some with the help of others and some left the profession for sunnier climates. Many of them wanted to develop a specialist interest but had no way to arrange this whilst still trying work in General Practice. Some wanted to do develop their medical knowledge further and undertake additional qualifications but found this difficult to fund. To address this issue, the Career Start GP Programme in Tayside was established in 2016. This was designed to address all the above issues and also improve the recruitment and retention of GPs in Tayside.
The Bright Idea
The Career Start GP Programme was designed and developed by two local GPs, Dr Shawkat Hasan and Dr David Shaw. Both are GP Partners in Tayside and also Clinical Leads in the local out of hours Service. Its development was supported by their Primary Care Medical Director Dr Michelle Watts and funding was identified through the Scottish Government Recruitment and Retention funds. As a novel idea, it required close working with the NHS Tayside HR and Finance teams and also clinical secondary care services. More importantly it involved dialogue and discussion with local GPs, GP Trainees, GP Practices and Community AHP Teams.
This pioneering product is a two-year post designed for First5s which combines both a GP practice job and a specialty element. There is generous protected continuous professional development time to undertake further training or a specialist diploma. The posts can be full or part time to meet the requirements of applicants. The posts have study leave time and study budgets which can be accessed for associated courses and additional training.
The Career Start GPs develop their skills and confidence enabling them to become the best GPs of the future and fulfil the RCGP 2022 Vision. They work as an integral member of a multi-disciplinary team supporting the local population to live a longer, healthier life at home. The most important part of the programme is the support structure which allows the Career Start GP to gain confidence and flourish in their work. For each individual there is a designated practice mentor and a specialty mentor who are both there to guide, support and nurture. The Programme is promoted and overseen by the Clinical Lead, Dr Shawkat Hasan, who is there to support the Career Start GPs as they progress through the two years. There is also the opportunity for peer support with the other Career Start GPs.
Patients benefit from the additional capacity and enthusiasm the Career Start GPs bring to practices. They also benefit from the specialty knowledge the Career Start GPs are bringing with them into Primary Care from their specialty posts - for example additional Palliative Care knowledge and MSK skills.
Some Career Start GPs have been supporting new areas of work in the community such as an acute Medicine for the Elderly Home visiting service and also practice based Psychiatry of Old Age clinics.
Practice GPs have had help with their daily workload and the opportunity to update their skills and knowledge in specialist areas which the Career Start GP is involved in.
The enthusiasm of the Career Start GPs has reinvigorated some practice teams who may have been struggling to recruit or retain existing staff.

HostMilano 2019
HostMilano 2019 is over: a record edition with over 200 thousand visitors confirming the exhibition as the international hub of the hospitality sector
A unique cognitive journey towards the hospitality of the future, witnessed by more than 200 thousand visitors (+8% on 2017), 40% of whom international
Operators from 171 countries, with important delegations from the United States, Latin America and the Middle East, were able to experience innovation first-hand and explore smart and advanced functions thanks to demonstrations and tastings organised by the exhibitors
Creativity filled every hall, with high-impact booths featuring design layouts that frequently represented paradigms of the hospitality of tomorrow.
A unique opportunity for professional development, with 800 events including training sessions and competitions, ranging from seminars by leading experts to show-cooking by star chefs and leading Italian and international masters of pastry, gelato, pizza, coffee and mixology.
Milan, 29 October 2019 - The 41st edition of HostMilano, the world's leading hospitality event, organised by Fiera Milano, was a unique edition, welcoming professional operators from all over the world and attracting over 200,000 visitors. Growing numbers and 40% international attendance from 171 countries. As well as originating from European countries such as Spain, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, there were particularly large delegations from the USA, China, the Middle and Far East; there were also those who had travelled many thousands of kilometres to reach Milan, even from the Fiji Islands or Nicaragua.
A lively exchange between exhibitors and operators
Continuing the visit of the halls, which animated the entire exhibition district in a cosmopolitan environment characterised by a mixture of languages from five continents, visitors were able to experience innovation first-hand, exploring prototypes and products to discover their smarter, more advanced functions. The companies organised demonstrations and informed tasting lessons with experts who supplied targeted insights to support the efficiency of the technologies presented, developing an approach that was not only commercial but also cognitive. Business meetings with operators and hosted buyers, brought to Milan in part thanks to the collaboration of ITA-ICE from all over the world, particularly from the United States, Canada, Russia and the United Arab Emirates, grew considerably, with immense satisfaction coming from having met proposals that completely fulfilled their expectations, as they told us in their own words:
"At HostMilano our aim is to find products and solutions that help us redefine the concept of luxury in our facilities - explains a spokesperson for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts (USA) –. Today, in fact, luxury is a matter not so much of economic exclusivity as of experiential exclusivity. The extensive ranges on display at Host allow us to navigate trends and find innovative products that meet this need".
"Among the halls we found a lot of innovation and creativity from all over the world - add the people from 7 Eleven (Canada) - and our goal is to improve our knowledge of these new proposals to identify which ones to buy. Our customers continue to demand high-quality products in a welcoming environment, capable of creating unique experiences, and here the number of exhibitors from all over the world helps us pursue this goal more effectively.".
"Italian hospitality has been popular in Japan for many years - comments Masuda Brick (Japan) - but in recent years we have seen an evolution: more and more chefs and culinary stars understand the difference between Made in Italy and Italian Sounding and are demanding Italian machinery and ingredients. At HostMilano we find everything necessary to satisfy this demand, along with an extensive selection of international proposals".
"Our company operates mainly in the world of gelato - concludes Oppenheimer (Australia) - so we are always very attentive to new trends from Italy. This is our second time at Host and we will definitely be back again, because here we find lots of interesting new proposals to expand our product ranges and, above all, we find everything we need in a single event".
A two-year journey culminating in exclusive previews
Numerous innovations were presented at the exhibition and this attention to innovation is consecrating Host increasingly as the platform for presenting trends, new ideas and prototypes. A moment for members of the industry to discuss and mutually enrich each other.
Examples of innovation include more sustainable dishwashers, which use the steam generated to heat the water, 'digesters' that allow the processing of organic waste directly on site with a view to circular economy, multifunction ovens that incorporate the Internet of Things to manage even complex functions such as HACCP data or state-of-the-art analytics software that allow chains to optimise and orient resources thanks to the real-time monitoring of a fleet of coffee machines. In furnishings, the revival of wood becomes more sustainable thanks to patented technologies to obtain new 3D effects with very thin layers. Overall, almost all of the 2,249 Italian and international exhibitors presented an exclusive preview at Host 2019 of the innovations that are going to characterise the hospitality and out-of-home sectors over the next two years.
The event that expressed innovation in the hospitality sector at the highest levels was undoubtedly SMART Label - Host Innovation Award, the award promoted in partnership with POLI.design and with the patronage of ADI - Associazione per il Disegno Industriale. The dedicated exhibition area where the winning products - 6 Innovation SMART Labels, 3 Green SMART Labels, 47 SMART Labels and 5 Special Mentions By Iginio Massari - were presented, in an essential layout designed to enhance their characteristics, was a huge success. The complete list is available at:
http://host.fieramilano.it/sites/default/files/SmartLabel%202019-selected%20products_27082019.pdf
A line-up of big names and over 800 events for all tastes and all "languages".
Host 2019 also proved to be a unique opportunity to share skills and experiences in a programme of over 800 events and thanks to partnerships with industry associations, which involved professional consultants and experts from all over the world, touching on key issues such as sustainability and technologies 4.0 such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things.
Among the seminars, the Design Talk meetings in partnership with POLI.design met with great success, focusing on topics such as the challenges of hotel design, luxury or wellness & lifestyle, and events in the Food-Technology Lounge, organised by ANIMA-Assofoodtec and EFCEM Italia, were also well attended, with in-depth examination of technical aspects such as new regulations and their impact on technologies. The meeting between technology and creativity at Restaurant Engineering by APCI, the meetings on the future of Food and Hospitality with the international consultants of FCSI were also very successful. The showcase on innovation in coffee by SCA Specialty Coffee Association and the focuses on mixology and bartending, with new aromas and opportunities offered by new equipment, with professionals and experts from FIPE, Mixer and Planet One, completed the picture of a truly complete and in-depth training.
Attendance levels matched those of star-studded event and audience participation reached stadium level for the captivating competitions, demonstrations and show-cooking with star chefs, experts and masters of the various disciplines. The big names present included: Michele Biassoni, Alessandro Borghese, Antonino Cannavacciuolo, Gianluca Fusto, Davide Oldani and Bruno Vanzan. The new event Pasticceria di Lusso nel Mondo by Iginio Massari was particularly successful: the stage was graced by twenty of the biggest Italian and international names from countries such as Belgium, France and Japan, such as Davide Comaschi, Gino Fabbri, Pascal Lac, Pierre Marcolini, Lucien Moutarlier and Norihiko Terai, personally selected by Maestro Massari.
Eight national and international competitions were held at Host 2019. The Panettone World Championship declared Alessandro Slama's panettone, from "Ischia Pane" in Ischia (Naples), the best artisan panettone in the world. In the quest for the Espresso Italiano Champion, Bolognese youngster Stefano Cevenini overtook competitors from the United Kingdom, Japan and Taiwan in the final, while the Gran Premio della Caffetteria Italiana crowned Paolo Rossi.
The Italian team came second in the Cake Designer World Championship (with Poland first and Peru third). Italy was also awarded the Critics' Award by the press. In the increasingly popular field of Latte Art, the Milano Latte Art Challenge went to South Korean Um Paul while Manuela Fensore won the World Latte Art Battle Championship. Japan won the World Trophy of Pastry, Ice Cream and Chocolate, followed by the teams from China and Italy. Lastly, the Italian team scored a double win at the European Pizza Championship, where Valentina La Porta' s victory was accompanied by her father Salvatore's second place. Both prize-winners are from the pizzeria Al Posto Giusto in Castelli Calepio (Bergamo).
The appointment with the next edition of HostMilano is at fieramilano from 22nd to 26th October 2021.
HostMilano 2019 ends this record-breaking edition with more than 200,000 visitors, confirming its place as the leading global event in the hospitality industry
Milan, 29th October 2019– Tuesday 22nd, 2019, marked the end - with significantly growing numbers - of the 41st edition of HostMilano, the leading global event in the hospitality industry, organised by Fiera Milano: in five days, over 200 thousand visitors (+8% compared to 2017), 40% of whom international from 171 countries, brought the entire fairgrounds to life. As well as originating from European countries such as Spain,Germany,France,the United Kingdom and Switzerland, there were particularly large delegations from the USA, China, the Middle and Far East; there were also those who had travelled many thousands of kilometres to reach Milan, even from the Fiji Islands or Nicaragua.
There were also some intensive business meetings with the hosted buyers, who came to Milan thanks also to the collaboration of ITA-ICE.
"The extraordinary results of this edition of Host – comments the Managing Director and General Manager of Fiera Milano Spa,Fabrizio Curci – confirm how valid the strategy of Fiera Milano is, namely to focus on making its events international reference hubs".
Aside from the figures, HostMilano is confirmed as the exhibition that showcases worldwide previews of technological innovation and that anticipates out-of-home trends and consumer styles, thanks to the large number of novelties presented by Italian and international exhibitors and set in context, often design-based, which "illustrate" how the products accommodate the users' desires. A propensity to storytelling which is reflected in the dynamic following on social media: the Instagram accounts connected to the trade fair registered more than 650 contents (including posts and Instagram stories), exceeding 1.1 million single users.
Host 2019 proved to be a unique opportunity also to share expertise and experience, thanks to a schedule of over 800 high-profile events dedicated to training and information on issues such as sustainability or technologies 4.0 including Artificial Intelligence or the Internet Of Things, in addition to exciting competitions, demonstrations and show-cooking with star chefs, experts and masters of various disciplines.
HostMilano celebrates the global Ho.Re.Ca boom: innovation, trends and more than 500 events
· Participation has been confirmed by 2,249 companies (+3.8% on the previous edition), of which 1,360 Italian and 889 international from 55 countries
· Professional Catering with Bakery/Pizza/Pasta remains the best-represented sector (43.8%), followed by Bars/Coffee-Tea/Vending machines and Furniture/Tableware
· Over 1500 hosted buyers from 80 countries, with an 80% turnover and an increasingly comprehensive combination of types
· Over 500 events, contests and cooking demos
· Innovation: the SMART Label Host Innovation Award returns
Milan, 10 October 2019 - The entire Ho.Re.Ca world in one exhibition. From bean to cup and from flour to oven, by way of the latest machinery and formats; the various sectors of professional hospitality, once again unite on the stage that is the 41st edition of HostMilano (at fieramilano, from 18 to 22 October 2019), the exhibition that is the global benchmark for what it means to be innovative and anticipate trends in the Ho.Re.Ca. world. It is this focus on innovation that makes HostMilano unique in the panorama of trade shows. It is here that companies present an often exclusive preview of the real news, characterised by the most advanced technology.
In addition to trends, confirmation also comes from the numbers, which highlight the leadership of the event in a sector that is growing constantly. According to data from the Ulisse Information System developed for HostMilano, in 2018, world sales of Professional Equipment reached a turnover of 54.8 billion Euro, with Italy among the world's leading exporting countries.
In this context, the number of exhibitors lining up for the start of the fair is 3.8% higher than in 2017 at 2,249, of which 1,360 are Italian and 889 international from 55 countries. Many of these countries are showing increases: huge satisfaction is coming from the other major European exporter of the sector together with Italy, Germany, which is increasing its presence by 7%. Double-digit growth comes from the United States (+20%), thanks partly to confirmation of the prestigious endorsement by the US Commercial Service, granted to a limited number of international events that have demonstrated to genuinely promote trade with the USA. Double-digit growth is also seen in countries such as Belgium (+20%), Greece (+23%) and the United Kingdom (+12%). In absolute terms, the top 10 front-line markets are Germany, Spain, France, USA, Turkey, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Greece, Switzerland and Portugal. Leading new entries include Albania, Argentina, Colombia, Latvia and Lebanon.
As far as product categories are concerned, the event is organised into macro-areas, specifically to allow contamination and synergy between similar supply chains. Of particular note is the Bakery/Pizza/Pasta sector where, compared to the previous edition, the number of exhibitors has grown by about a fifth (+19%), while overall the macro-area in which it is combined with Professional Catering has grown by 8%. Companies in the Gelato/Pastry macro-area with Bars/Coffee Machines/Coffee-Tea/Vending Machines also increase by 8% compared to 2017.
Overall, Professional Catering, together with Bakery/Pizza/Pasta, will be the most represented area (43.8% of the total companies), followed by Bars/Coffee Machines/Coffee-Tea/Vending machines (37.6%) and Furniture/Tableware (18.6%), the latter becoming increasingly representative for the high-end lifestyle.
The world is on stage at HostMilano, with partnerships, buyers and more than 500 events
An exhibition without borders, an absolute must for the whole hospitality and professional catering world. Within a strategy that has seen greater capillary promotion worldwide, HostMilano further strengthens its position as a global equipment hub and lines up with a series of partnerships signed with the field's most prestigious Italian and international associations (particularly those of the USA and Canada, but without forgetting South American and key European countries).
Thanks to the collaboration with ICE Agenzia, more than 1500 hosted buyers will come to Milan from 80 countries (mainly from the USA, Canada, Middle East, UAE, China and Russia), with an 80% turnover and an increasingly comprehensive combination of types, and more than 100 accredited international journalists.
The global outlook of the exhibition is rounded out with the BeMyHost project, with a total of 20 Host Ambassadors - all international and Italian influencers with thousands of followers - who are tasked with capturing the latest trends in hospitality, both around the world and during the days of the event itself, to then share these on their social channels.
But the role of HostMilano as an international pole for innovation, technology and lifestyle also involves an events schedule that is busier than ever before, with more than 500 events of all types to satisfy even the most demanding of palates, with national and international competitions, cooking demos, pastry-making and bartending exhibitions, as well as in-sights on the hot topics of tomorrow.
Innovation and design: the SMART Label, Host Innovation award takes off
Innovation and design are a pairing that proves increasingly successful in the professional hospitality world in the third millennium and one that cannot be ignored within an event such as HostMilano, innovation part of its very DNA. After the success of the last three editions, during which more than 150 awards and 20 special mentions have been assigned to key players in the Italian and international Ho.Re.Ca world, SMART Label, Host Innovation award makes its return. The competition is run by Fiera Milano and HostMilano, in collaboration with POLI.Design, a Consortium of the Politecnico di Milano and with the support of ADI - Associazione Italiana per il Disegno Industriale.
Once again this year, a jury of seven highly experienced professionals in the fields of design, hospitality and energy saving was called upon to assess the rate of innovation and smarter solutions among the 214 entries submitted: university lecturers, professionals and national and international experts who selected no fewer than 61 winners: 47 were awarded the Smart Label, six the most prestigious Innovation Smart Label, three the sustainable Green Smart Label and five the Special mention by Iginio Massari.
Also for 2019, Host and Milano confirm themselves as place to be to enjoy a preview of the future of professional hospitality, eating out and retail, ranging from technologies that will revolutionise the way we prepare food, to new styles of consuming it and new layouts in which we will share experience.

The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has been arrested and detained by the Ghana Police Service.
His arrest comes after he was invited by the Ghana Police to assist with investigations over some allegations he made against the former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama that he has connived with Al Qaeda to stage a coup in Ghana.
According to a press release by the police on Tuesday February 15, 2022, and signed by DSP Juliana Obeng of the Police Public Affairs unit, "Preliminary investigations reveal that his claims against the former president are untrue and likely to occasion a breach of peace".

Can Confidence Come Too Soon? Collective Efficacy, Conflict and Group Performance over Time

Goncalo, Jack; Polman, Evan; Maslach, Christina
Groups with a strong sense of collective efficacy set more challenging goals, persist in the face of difficulty, and are ultimately more likely to succeed than groups who do not share this belief. Given the many advantages that may accrue to groups who are confident, it would be logical to advise groups to build a high level of collective efficacy as early as possible. However, we draw on Whyte's (1998) theory of collective efficacy and groupthink, to predict that when confidence emerges at a high level toward the beginning of a group's existence, group members may be less likely to engage in process conflict; a form of conflict that may be beneficial in the early phase of a group project. We found support for this prediction in two longitudinal studies of classroom project teams.

IU's Trailer Towns
Woodlawn Trailer Court, Nov. 10, 1946. Photo courtesy of IU Archives, P0046741
When World War II ended in 1945, the country welcomed back hundreds of thousands of young men, many of whom had cut their higher education short, or skipped it all together, in order to fight for their country. The new Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, also known as the GI Bill, paid for, among other things, the education of any qualified veteran who wanted to go to college. This meant an influx of veteran students at IU.
In 1946, veteran enrollment at Indiana University was 5,961—far exceeding the university's prewar peak of student enrollment. At the same time, housing availability in Bloomington had been greatly diminished: The economic lull of the Great Depression and the halt of construction during WWII meant there were about half the number of available houses and apartments in Bloomington in 1946 as there had been in 1930.
This created a unique and frightening challenge for IU. Turning away perfectly good students, not to mention veterans of WWII, because of a lack of housing, was not an option. After several meetings, the university came up with a solution—trailers! The U.S. military needed a place to offload the barracks left over from the war, and IU purchased some of them to accommodate the growing number of students. Soon enough, IU's veteran students were back in the barracks they had spent months, even years, waiting to get out of.
IU acquired enough trailers to create little villages with them. Property in Monroe County was at a premium, so the "trailer towns" were packed full. The families came pouring in. Each trailer town housed about 700 adults and some 175 children.

In IU's trailer towns, unlike in the military, former colonels, captains, lieutenants, and privates alike all lived side by side, as equals. They came from different backgrounds and studied different things but had one thing in common: the war. This shared experience generated much camaraderie within the trailer towns. The veterans' wives reportedly became close as well. Many of them attended school along with their husbands, worked, or did both. But many also stayed home, especially if they had children, and got together to help each other with housework and child care. In this way, the trailer towns quickly became worlds unto themselves, with a sense of community that could not be found elsewhere at IU.
In fact, some of the trailer towns were "self-governed." One of the towns, called Woodlawn Court, even elected a mayor. In other trailer towns, problems and disputes were resolved through informal means. Impromptu meetings were called and votes were taken to find solutions to difficulties.
But, according to student residents, major disputes were pretty rare in the trailer towns. In hindsight, this seems incredible since space was so cramped, both inside and outside of the trailers. Living in a barrack was like living in a shiny little wood-paneled box. The kitchen was at the center of the trailer, right as you walked in. Then, at one end, a divan and bookcase made up the living room, and a bedroom was at the other end, with, sometimes, a sliding door to provide some extra privacy. None of the trailers had running water. But each village had a number of trailer washrooms strategically placed, so no one had to walk more than three trailer-lengths to get to the restroom. As a result, going to the restroom became a social event. This is where friends were made and news was spread.
Trailerites also found social camaraderie in the "community house," a grouping of three or four trailers at the center of the village, which served as a community kitchen or a laundry. Sometimes, on weekend nights, couples would take the doors off their hinges, place them on the laundry tubs, and cover them in crepe paper to transform the laundry room into a club. The couples would drink and dance all night long.
Between 1946 and the early 1950s, the need for surplus housing at IU diminished as the veteran population graduated and more dormitories and apartment buildings were constructed. But when housing became less pinched and the university invited veteran students to move themselves and their families into more comfortable facilities, many of the trailerites refused. They had become so accustomed to the ways of the trailer towns that they didn't want to live anywhere else.

Lawyers For Rent in the Small Business News
Legal Network Ltd, and the Technology Utilization Committee of the ACBA have formed an unique alliance to foster the use of online tools such as e-mail and the Internet by local legal professionals.
Another mechanism for increasing usage is providing legal web sites serving the informational needs of the local legal community. The Legal Network web site provides information on temporary legal staffing for both clients and employees. There are interactive pages allowing registration and order placing with Legal Network; answers to frequently asked questions; a map showing the national growth of contract legal personnel; classified ads; reprints of articles focusing on the industry; and lots of legal web links.
The ACBA's web site provides free access to the local rules for Pennsylvania courts in Allegheny County; access to back issues of the Pittsburgh Legal Journal; useful legal web links and listings of upcoming events. The ACBA web site URL is http://www.acba.org.
In addition, Pittsburgh OnLine and Legal Network co-sponsor a web site promoting local law firms and legal service organizations doing business in Western Pennsylvania at http://www.law.pgh.com. Also, the ACBA Technology Utilization Committee has started a series of Listservs serving the local legal community.
Lawyers For Rent
How Legal Networks Ltd. is helping free-lance lawyers and local businesses by providing technical, niche-oriented legal service projects that bring the two together cheaply
By Daniel Bates
When the former Ben Franklin Technology Center of Western Pennsylvania faced massive mismanagement and a government investigation into other improprieties, the government leapt into action.
It fired the top management and all but closed the local state-funded program that was supposed to spur economic development by funding the commercialization of new technology.
But then the completely revamped center, now called Innovation Works, found itself with a rather odd and cumbersome legacy: more than 400 funding contracts with local technology developers, in which the recipients promised to pay royalties to the center if and when the technologies became revenue generators. The problem was, few had ever paid royalties. Worse, nobody had monitored or enforced the agreements.
Enter Innovation Worksı corporate counsel, Klett Leiber Rooney & Schorling. According to Doug Goodall, director of Innovation Works, the law firm acknowledged that someone needed to review all of those contracts to make an assessment of who might owe what.
That someone needed not only legal expertise in the area of contracts but also a technical understanding of technology transfer and development ‹ as well as the time to commit to such an enormous and unusual project. This wasnıt something Klett Leiber wanted to tackle ‹ nor could this government program afford to pay its hourly rates for the project.
This was a job for Legal Network Ltd.
Legal Network Ltd. is, in effect, a temporary services firm that gives companies access to a database of more than 2,000 attorneys who either work as sole practitioners or have been downsized out of their corporate counsel jobs and decided to free-lance their services. Clients pay between $50 and $100 an hour to rent an attorney, who is hired on an hourly or project basis. The firm then pays each attorney an hourly rate, but only for number of hours worked.
This alternative form of practice gives attorneys the freedom to pick and choose assignments without having to hustle new clients themselves. In fact, many on file are sole practitioners who use the service to fill in the gaps during slow periods. As Karl Schieneman, managing director of this 5-year-old firm, notes, the attorneys best suited for this kind of work are ³not the rainmakers in law firms.² Rather, they often are the ones with the best technical expertise who are good with document review, research and other sometimes tedious legal work.
For clients such as InnovationWorks, the service gives them access to a large pool of attorneys with often highly technical niche expertise, without having to pay the much higher prices of a large law firm with lots of overhead expenses.
Michael Betts, a Blawnox-based sole practitioner who specializes in commercial corporate litigation, often turns to Legal Network to help fill the legal ranks in particularly large projects.
³It works very well for me because Iım able to manage my overhead a lot better than if I had to hire other lawyers,² Betts says. ³I use the services when I have a major or more complex matter that requires more than one lawyer, or if things have to be done in a certain timeframe. A lot of those projects are cases where I need a lot of document review or research.²
Legal Network Ltd. is the brainchild of Schieneman, an attorney who earned a masterıs degree from Carnegie Mellon Universityıs Graduate School of Industrial Administration in 1992 and a law degree from the University of Pittsburgh. His partners in the firm are Brad Franz, an attorney with Houston Harbaugh, and Lawrence Kolarik, a national accounts manager for ADP.
Schieneman came up with the idea while working as an associate-on-contract with Pittsburgh law firm Marcus & Shapira. He had been hired on contract specifically to help with a large lawsuit against Phar-Mor during its sizable financial scandal.
³No. 1, it got me through the door without having to go through a difficult hiring process,² Schieneman says, ³and my performance is what opened up new doors.² The idea of being hired on contract to work on a project, he says, ³appealed to my background of being a businessman and a lawyer.²
While continuing to work for Marcus & Shapira, he formed Legal Network in 1995, and by 1996 was breaking even. In 1997, the firm experienced 200-plus percent growth in revenue over the previous year.
³I thought we were catching the national trend at that point,² Schieneman says. ³After all, itıs the fastest-growing segment of the professional services industry. Itıs a $500 million industry that is growing at a rate of 30 to 40 percent.²
At the same time, he found it more and more difficult to manage on the side. So he ³took the leap.²
Today, the firm employs three full-time people and maintains an active database of more than 2,000 lawyers. Active lawyers, he says, likely will earn between $60,000 and $100,000 a year, annualized. Schieneman says the firmıs revenue this past year was expected to climb to between $1.5 million and $2 million, although he would not be more specific.
³But thereıs no overhead involved here,² Schieneman says, except for the small office space his firm occupies in the Regional Enterprise Tower in downtown Pittsburgh.
Back at Innovation Works, Doug Goodall says he liked Legal Network because it has ³a cadre of specialists who are available on a free-lance basis.²
For its contract project, Innovation Works hired attorney Patricia Koehler, whose background was in technology transfer and development, through Legal Network. She set up shop full-time in the organizationıs offices, offered an initial assessment of the scope of the problem, then set out to scrutinize every one of more than 400 contracts that had been established over the past 10 years.
As a result of her work, Innovation Works has secured a commitment from the funded companies to pay back nearly $600,000 in royalties, and Goodall expects that number to increase as the organization moves forward in its effort.
³It not only was a legal issue but a technology issue,² Goodall says. ³And [Koehler] did a masterful job for us.²
So masterful, in fact, that, when the Legal Network contract between Koehler and Innovation Works ended, the organization secured her services directly for future projects.
Says Schieneman of his success: ³Itıs a fun business when youıre helping lawyers and helping businesses solve their problems.²

Early Euro/American Gardens & Farms
Initially European immigrants to the Atlantic coast of North America tried to gain some control over the new weather patterns & geography by creating physical spaces to meet their basic needs for shelter, food, family, health, & safety. Farm fields often evolved into commercial export enterprises. As time passed, many well-to-do turned their personal gardens into an art form attempting to project their desired image to others - their wealth, power, refinement, beliefs, & knowledge.
Landscape Design - Public Church & Burying Yards
Newspapers often announced the burials of citizens in local church yards. The deceased were usually reported to be interred or deposited in the church yard. The 1732 South Carolina Gazette reported, "On Monday last, after a very long Disorder, died Mrs. Mazyck, the Wife of Mr. Isaac Mazyck, Merchant of this Town... she was interr'd in the Church-Yardof this Place, in a very handsome Manner, being attended to her Funeral by most of the chief Merchants, and publick Officers of the Province."
Church Yard with old Trees in Norfolk, Virginia.
The 1737 Williamsburg Virginia Gazette reported, "Last Monday Night died in this City, after a short Illness, Mr. Charles Chiswell, of Hanover County, aged about 60. He came to Town last Wednesday, in perfect Health, and was taken ill of a Pleurisy and Flux on Friday Night, which was so violent, that it carried him off the Monday Night following; and on Wednesday Night, he was decently interr'd, in our Church yard." In the colonial period, the deceased often were reported to be buried in the church yard "in a very decent Manner."
When a proud, perhaps even a little arrogant, London stone mason arrived in 1739 Philadelphia, he advertised his work by sending people to the Church yard. "Masons-Work in all its Branches, and with the greatest Speed and Accuracy, is performed by WILLIAM HOLLAND, lately from London; who being truly instructed in that Art, justly assumes the antique Name of the Mason, and owns not that vulgar calling of a Stone-Cutter ... has given the Publick a Specimen of his Performance in a Tomb-Stone now in the Church -Yard of this City."
Walled Church Yard at Ware Church, Gloucester County, Virginia.
The Church yard was a place well-known in most locations and was often used as a point of direction, as when the Charleston newspaper announced in 1732, "AT Dan. Bourget's, Brewer, in old church street, behind the old Church -Yard,is good Stabling, and Entertainment for Horses."For a public sale in 1734,"A Catalogue of all the Particulars, with the Price to each Article, may be seen from Monday morning till all are sold at the Blue House, against the French Church Yard in Charlestown."
Brick walls surrounded many church yards. The 1752 Virginia Gazette announced that an "Addition is to be built on one Side of the Brick Church in Bristol Parish, Prince-George County, 30 by 25 Feet in the Clear, with a Brick Wall round the Church Yard,5 Feet high; the said Work is to be completed in June 1754."
During the same period, wooden fences were being built around other churches. In the summer of 1749, the vestry of Saint Anne's Parish in Annapolis Maryland, put out a contract for "any good Workman, to find Materials, and pale in the Church-Yardat Annapolis, with saw'd Poplar Pales, four Feet and a half in Length, three Inches broad, and one Inch think; saw'd Poplar Rails, 8 feet long and 6 Inches broad on the flat side, three Rails in each Length; the Posts to be of Cedar or Locust, to hew to six inches square at Top, to be 7 feet long and to be set 30 Inches in the Ground; the Posts to be morticed, and Rails tenanted in; the Pales to be nail'd on with Double Tenpenny Nails, three to each Pale." But by 1771, the vestry of Saint Anne's Parish decided to "have the yard secured so as to prevent the cattle from going therein."
Looking Over the Brick Wall at the Burying Yard at Saint Anne's Church in Annapolis, Maryland, which came into use in the 1780s.
Wandering livestock & wildlife interlopers also bothered the gentry in Virginia. Philip Fithian Vickers, teaching at Nomini Hall, Virginia, in 1774, noted that," Mr. Carter observed that he much dislikes the common method of making Burying Yards round Churches, & having it almost open to every Beast." In 1771, the upper church in Saint Margaret's Parish in Caroline County, Virginia, also began walling in their churchyard. However, in New York City in 1749, Peter Kalm reported a church yard without a traditional fence or wall, "Quite a large churchyard surrounds the temple, and about it are planted trees which give it the appearance of an enclosure."
Occasionally, a church yard was the scene of a violent act. Just after Christmas, the Pennsylvania Gazette reported in 1759, that in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, "a young Man, genteelly dressed, shot himself in the Church Yard at Burlington" with a "short Fowling piece loaded with large Duck Shot."
The Moravian Cemetery at Old Salem, North Carolina. The graveyard is surrounded by shady groves.
As political unrest began to stir in the British American colonies, even the church yard became involved in the protests. In 1766 Wilmington, North Carolina,"in the Evening, a great Number of People again assembled, and produced an Effigy of LIBERTY, which they put into a Coffin, and marched in solemn Procession to the Church Yard,a Drum in Mourning beating before them, and the Town Bell, muffled, ringing a doleful Knell at the same Time; --- But before they committed the Body to the Ground, they thought it adviseable to feel its Pulse; and when finding some Remains of Life, they returned back to a Bonfire ready prepared, placed the Effigy before it in a large Two armed Chair, and concluded the Evening with great Rejoicings, on finding that LIBERTY had still an Existence in the COLONIES."
Occasionally, the church yard became a place for recreation & reflection. Dr. Robert Honyman reported in 1775, Boston, Massachusetts, that he "went into a large church yard& viewed the Tombs & grave stones." William Loughton Smith wrote in his journal on May 5, 1791, of visiting Salem, North Carolina. "The church yard is on a hill above the town, surrounded by shady groves." The Moravian cemetery at Salem, God's Acre, has gravestones & burial plots which are exactly the same size and grouped together by marital status & gender - married sisters, single sisters, married bretheren, & single brothers.

TV shows and movies make breakups look so glamorous, don't they? In reality, getting over a breakup isn't that easy, especially minus the montage set to a hit song. I mean sure, you can throw some REM on in the background as you're choosing between blue track pants or gray, but it's just not the same.
Unfortunately for us, getting over a breakup takes longer than 120 minutes. Like, way longer, especially if you're tacking your now defunct relationship onto a long string of epic fails. While it's easy to sum up what happened using such classics as, "He's a manchild," or "He just doesn't get it," or even, "He has more hair products than I do," an important part of getting over a breakup is taking responsibility for your part in what happened.
Don't just look at the breakup itself, but the relationship as a whole: What could you have handled differently/better? Are you having the same conflicts with different guys? If so… womp, womp.
Take time away from getting over a breakup and do things completely unrelated. When you relax your mind and give yourself time to breathe, insights and answers will appear all on their own.
Create your own closure. Even though it'd be nice to turn to your ex every time you need answers, by constantly keeping in touch you'll stall both of your healing processes. Nix contact and vent to your BFF instead – not only will you gain insight from an objective perspective, she'll also have the guts to tell it like it is.
By now, you're over blaming others and justifying your mistakes. (Right?!) Next, dig deep and learn the underlying reasons behind your constant relationship turmoil. For example, why do you always shut down when you need to confront him about something? Or why do you fly off the handle over really little things? Once you know why, you can figure out how to combat your habits.
While you do rock that cape, you're only human. Mistakes are inevitable, so there's no sense in feeling guilty. Instead, look at the intentions behind your actions and you'll find the person you were trying to be.
Open your proverbial suitcases and ditch the thoughts, feelings, and habits that are weighing down you and your relationships. Take as long as you need on this step – by the end, you only want to be carrying around about a clutch purse's worth of issues.
Okay, so you're familiar with your mistakes (and the fact that you're constantly making them). The next time you get serious, promise yourself you'll put on the brakes anytime you sense one of your red flag bad habits bubbling to the surface.
Don't worry, grasshopper – you'll rock your next relationship like a boss.
What were the biggest lessons you learned from getting over a breakup?

The Woman Who Kicked Down Wall Street's Doors
Muriel "Mickie" Siebert in 1990
Harry Hamburg—New York Daily News / Getty Images
By Joanna Scutts
April 19, 2016 12:00 PM EDT
This piece is part of an ongoing series on the unsung women of history. Read more here.
On her first trip away from her home in Ohio, in the early 1950s, a teenaged Muriel Siebert visited the New York Stock Exchange. Later, in her autobiography, she would recall the trading floor, seen from above, as a "sea of men in dark suits," resounding with the "clamorous human buzz of… thousands of deals." She declared to her friends that one day she'd come back there and ask for a job. Why not? The souvenir in her hand was a piece of ticker tape with her name printed on it, along with the words: "Welcome to the NYSE." She held on to it throughout her career, clearly relishing the irony. Nobody made Muriel "Mickie" Siebert welcome on Wall Street. Every door that opened for her was one she kicked down for herself.
In 1954, Siebert returned to New York in a second-hand Studebaker to put her plan into action. There were women working on Wall Street as secretaries and support staff, but she hadn't come all that way to help with someone else's job. At university in Ohio she'd taken classes in business and was used to being the only girl in the room. But this was what she was born to do: "I could look at a page of numbers, and they would light up like a Broadway marquee," she wrote later. She left college early when her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and didn't take her degree, but in New York she quickly learned to fudge that detail. She landed a job as a researcher, at $65 a week, at the firm of Bache & Co. Paying attention to accounts that other people overlooked, especially in the fledgling aviation industry, she watched and learned.
By the mid-1960s, having switched firms several times, Siebert was ready to purchase her own seat on the stock exchange, which would allow her to buy and sell shares directly on the trading floor. There was no specific rule against a woman doing so—she checked—but she needed a backer, and went through nine male colleagues before one said yes. Small wonder that even after she clawed her way to her seat, in 1967, she remained the lone woman alongside 1,365 men for the next decade. The symbol of her exclusion was the ladies' room, or lack of one, on the trading floor. "Not since I was a baby had so many people been so interested in my bathroom habits," she recalled wryly. (Of course, no amount of paternalistic concern for her physical comfort prompted anyone to update the plumbing. A full 20 years later, there was still no ladies' room on the seventh floor of the stock exchange, where the lunch club was located, until Siebert threatened to install a Porta-Potty.)
Siebert's career can be tracked through articles about the changing status of women in the workplace. In 1968, when TIME examined the "outright or subtle discrimination" working women faced, it highlighted another of her signature fights: women's access to the important deal-making that went on in the city's all-male lunch clubs. Being Jewish only highlighted Siebert's sense of exclusion, during years in which anti-Semitism was commonplace in the corporate world. By 2008, TIME again pointed to Siebert, this time to show how far the finance world had come. The magazine noted that one-third of the young professionals working on Wall Street were women—although as the head of her own firm, Siebert was still a rarity.
In 1977, Siebert stepped aside from running her firm to serve as New York's first female superintendent of banking, and took great pride in the fact that no banks failed during the five financially rocky years of her tenure. After a failed run at the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, she returned to her brokerage firm, and resumed fighting campaigns her own way: with money and chutzpah, both of which she had in ample supply. She spent a large chunk of her fortune funding women in business, promoting financial literacy and supporting animal-welfare charities. Siebert was inseparable from her longhaired Chihuahua, Monster Girl (followed by Monster Girl 2)—a kindred spirit of a creature, that couldn't be cowed by "the big dogs."
When she died in 2013 at the age of 84 (not 80, as first reported—throughout her career she'd found it useful to shave four years off her age), Siebert was celebrated as a trailblazer. But her own word for herself—maverick—might be closer to the truth. The Enron scandal, which she discussed in the final pages of her 2003 autobiography, shocked her to the core, and in 2008 she argued that the instigators of the financial crisis should go to jail. Progress, she knew, wasn't as simple as helping other women follow in her path, because their fights would not be the same as hers. "You have to keep fighting," as she told an audience in 1992, warning them against complacency. The ladies' room was just the beginning.

The Worst Tourists of 2019
Lauren Cahn
Jacob Lund/Shutterstock
Tourism can be great for a country's economy, but that boost comes along with its own set of problems.
"Of all noxious animals, the most noxious is a tourist," wrote the English clergyman Francis Kilvert during the 1870s. Whatever he was referring to back then, could it have been anything as bad as what these terrible tourists have been doing throughout the course of 2019? Here's a sampling of some terrible tourism behavior from recent months:
Arguing loudly at a silent retreat in Myanmar
For visiting tourists to the Mahagandhayon monastery in Myanmar, a major draw is the sight of hundreds of barefoot, silent monks, gathering for meals. It's a tableau that has been described as "tranquil." However, the tranquility was shattered one morning in January 2019 when a group of tourists from China argued loudly about the best place to take a photo. Since then, the monastery has taken to prohibiting visitors from entering the dining areas and engaging in arguments. Even if you can keep yourself from arguing with your fellow-travelers, please don't waste your time taking any of these cliché travel photos.
Vomiting in Venice
In August, two young women from Norway decided to go swimming in the Rio di Cannaregio canal—in their underwear. This is not permitted, and for good reason: the canal is infested with rats. When the police informed them of this, one of the women vomited in disgust. The women were banned from Venice for 48 hours, according to The Telegraph. Perhaps they didn't realize they were doing anything wrong? Here are tourist rules you never realized you need to follow.
Trespassing plus violence in Venice
Also in Venice, a tourist from South Africa had been taking selfies of himself and his family in a docked gondola in early September of this year. A nearby gondolier noticed this and politely requested the tourists step off the boat, which was, of course, private property. The tourist responded by headbutting and then punching the gondolier in the face.
Putting up a portable stove under a bridge…in Venice
In July, two German backpackers were expelled from Venice and fined $1,000 after they were found brewing a pot of coffee on a portable stove beneath a bridge over the Grand Canal. Venice is one of 17 places that tourists have ruined for everyone.

Naked swimming…in…where else but…Venice
In another terrible-tourist tale from Venice, a couple of Czech tourists on their way to see a sporting event in Milan were charged with public indecency for swimming naked in a canal. By the way, in case you're wondering why there are so many terrible tourists in Venice, it might be because Venice, a city of 53,000, plays host to 20 million visitors a year. Lots of tourists means lots of opportunity for terrible behavior.
Kicking over a row of motorbikes in Bali
Since law enforcement officers in Bali like to humiliate badly behaved tourists by parading them around in orange prison garb, according to an Australian news outlet, you might think tourists would think twice about behaving badly. That didn't stop an Australian tourist in Bali from "going berserk" outside a nightclub, kicking over a row of parked motorbikes, in late summer 2019.
Knocking a man off his motorbike in Bali
In another recent Bali tourist-debacle, an Australian tourist "made international headlines when he fly-kicked a man off his motorbike after a cocktail-induced binge resulted in allegations of assault and smashed windows."
"I have drunk until I have blacked out but I have never done this before, ever," the tourist is quoted as having stated. He may face more than two years in jail as a result.
Purse-snatching, again in Bali
Another Aussie man faces as many as seven years behind bars for stealing the purse-snatching. The victim was also a tourist—from Canada. When the perpetrator learned the length of the prison sentence for his crime, he "cowered under a desk," and appeared to cry.
Tourists should always take precautions when traveling in foreign countries, but here are 10 popular travel tips you no longer need to follow.

Possessing home-made cocaine in Bali
Another Australian man recently received a five-year jail sentence for possession of 43.15 grams of home-made cocaine. This was despite the fact that prosecutors had only asked for only 15 months. The man declined to appeal because he feared the judge would respond by issuing the death sentence.
Running naked through the streets in, guess where? Bali!
In May 2019, at least five Australian men were videotaped running naked through the streets, vomiting, urinating, and insulting locals, While Australians are not the only badly behaved tourists in Bali, Bali officials are deeply concerned about the volume of bad behavior it is seeing from Australian tourists.
Bathing in holy water at a Hindu temple
In an example of bad tourists in Bali who don't happen to be Australian, a Czech couple was videotaped bathing naked in holy water at a Hindu temple.
"In the near future we will make a regulation to take firm action against tourists that commit ethical violations or offend the norm in Bali," noted the governor of Bali. "This is not only for Australian tourists. This is for all tourists, wherever they come from". Here are some former tourist attractions that are no longer open to tourists.
Possibly New Zealand's worst tourists ever
In the first few weeks of 2019, a family of tourists from either England or Ireland was wreaking so much havoc during a holiday in New Zealand that they were kicked out of the country by the government (their visas were revoked). Here's a sampling of the family's misdeeds:
stealing a miniature Christmas tree, Red Bull, rope, and sunglasses from retail stores
attempting to "dine and ditch" at a restaurant, twice
getting into an altercation with staff members at a Burger King
littering on a beach
And all of this was after they left a feces-laden baby-onesie on their flight to Auckland.
Public sex in Magaluf, Majorca
Along with all the fun in renowned party town, Magaluf, Majorca, there's quite a lot of bad behavior from young tourists. In fact, local authorities in Magaluf have enacted dozens of new laws to punish "uncivil" behavior. These laws prohibit, among other things, "defecating in public places, having sex in public, and stripping off in public, as well as littering and tearing branches off trees," according to Britain's The Daily Star. Nevertheless, over the course of summer 2019, ten tourists were fined for having sex in public.
vulcano/Shutterstock"Balconing" in Magaluf
Another popular misbehavior in Magaluf is known as "balconing," which refers to jumping from one's hotel balcony into the swimming pool below. This happened 11 times in Magaluf during the summer of 2019. The total number of fine-able offense recorded this summer in Magaluf? Two-thousand.
Abandoning a baby in Tenerife
A 24-year old tourist from the United Kingdom was arrested this summer in Tenerife, Spain after allegedly abandoning her three-month-old baby son in his baby carriage outside a restaurant where she had been arguing with her partner (the baby's father). The baby was alone for 40 minutes before a good samaritan stepped in and reunited the baby with his father.
Skipping out on a hotel bill in Cypress
A tourist in Cypress, Greece was arrested just last week for trying to leave the country without paying his hotel bill. The tourist was arrested at the airport by local police.
"Thermal trespassing" in Yellowstone
Two tourists were arrested in mid-September in Yellowstone National Park (located in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming) for In ignoring the rules posted at the famous geyser, Old Faithful, and crossing a protective fence to take selfies at the geyser's opening. 'We were in total disbelief and the complete stupidity of these guys," noted a fellow tourist quoted by Travel + Leisure. Read on to discover the country where tourists spend more money than anywhere else.

THE radio filtered the news of peace in the Holy Land through Samuel's dreams. The smell of ful madammas and grilled flatbread greeted Samuel's blinking eyes and waking half smile. His mother Dalia sang as she prepared breakfast: A little honeycomb and yogurt to celebrate the sweetness of peace; the bitterness of olives for the years of loss and suffering.
Timeline: The Pestilence minus 14 days. Information source: Published interview with Dalia Srour, mother of Samuel Srour. Interviewer: Bill Irons.
Bill Irons: What was Samuel like as a child?
Dalia Srour: He was a good boy, always reading but very quiet. He was the youngest. His two big brothers were strong and boisterous, so loud, shirking their chores, yearning for the world beyond our home. With Samuel it was different; he looked after us, helped us, especially with the farm. He would just quietly get on with the things that needed doing. No fuss, no bother. He was good with his hands. He would help fix up the barns, tend the animals, you know, do something helpful.
I knew out of my three boys he would be the one who stayed. The others ran away to war or for love, but Samuel looked after me and when I got old, he looked after the farm. Selflessness is in his nature.
Bill Irons: How did he do at school?
Dalia Srour: He was a popular boy. He was a smart boy, the smartest of my sons but also the least interested in school work. I never understood why he didn't apply himself. He loved his books but didn't love school. He wouldn't study, do homework, or prepare for exams. With all that reading, all that knowledge going into that brain of his you would have thought he would have done better, achieved more but it was the same thing in all his school reports; Samuel needs to stop dreaming.
Bill Irons: How did the loss of his brother affect him?
Dalia Srour: Every family in our village has lost someone in that war. I expect that most families in the country have lost someone precious, someone loved. So in that respect, Samuel's pain, our pain was no different to anyone else's.
Bill Irons: Is Samuel religious?
Dalia Srour: Not at all. My family going back a few generations on my mother's side were originally Jewish and Samuel's father was Christian but we as a family don't observe either faith; I suppose we wear the cloak of religion very lightly. I have left my children to choose their own paths. My other boys had some interest, but Samuel had none. You know, he read everything, history, art, fact, fiction, but for all his reading, all the hours with his nose in a book, I never saw him read a single religious book or text. Even after his brother passed, he didn't lean on faith.
Bill Irons: Where were you when your farm was destroyed?
Dalia Srour: Thankfully, I was in Haifa. With the war over I was visiting my grandchildren. I saw the lightning in the sky, the same as everybody else. Then we watched the news and found out that our farm, our home had been destroyed. That airstrike left us destitute; we have nothing now. At that time I had no idea what had happened to my son.
Bill Irons: What do you make of it?
Dalia Srour: It's a miracle. You know whatever happens, whatever he does, however he helps others, he is still my son and for that I am grateful. I guess now I have to share him a little more.
