Core to how the P.E.A.C.E. methodology is rolled out is the access to information for communities living adjacent to game reserves. This access to information is facilitated through the deployment of Hubs, which also provide a central point where communities can meet and interact. Both the IT centre and radio station in Vaalwater are tools which empower communities through the dissemination of information relevant to those within the same community.
ERP has employed Letticia Mahlaji as one of the members of staff at the radio station. Letticia hosts a daily programme, Hlago yaAfrica which promotes ERP's vision and mission of conserving elephants and rhinos through the alleviation of poverty. In some instances, she features people from ERP in her programmes, and in some instances has interviews with some of the people from ERP projects. Waterberg Waves also looks at integrating the environmental, conservation and people oriented calendar events into its various programmes aired daily. These include World Environment Day, Abhor Day, Heritage Day and Women's month which are often featured by most of the presenters and deejays.
Through their Enterprise Development spend, iLAB funded a portion of the development of the IT Centre in Vaalwater. This funding support, given to a youthful George Boya of Reshma Business Development has resulted in the establishment of TWO accredited IT enterprises. Having started at the Vaalwater centre, George moved out to Bakenberg which is home to 48 villages due to the need for IT Training in the area as well. To date, these IT enterprises have created 2 permanent jobs, whilst 13 local students have secured employment opportunities in various institutions after completing the computer training course. Additionally, the Vaalwater centre conducts training for residents in town, learners and educators and many employees who work on game farms.

Breakthrough in MS treatment
Drug shown to reduce new attacks/symptom progression in some patients
Published: 9Jan2017
In separate clinical trials, a drug called ocrelizumab has been shown to reduce new attacks in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), and new symptom progression in primary progressive MS.
Three studies conducted by an international team of researchers, which included Amit Bar-Or and Douglas Arnold from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of McGill University, have discovered that ocrelizumab can significantly reduce new attacks in patients with relapsing MS, as well as slow the progression of symptoms caused by primary progressive MS.
In one study, 732 patients with primary progressive MS were randomized on a 2:1 ratio to receive either ocrelizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that depletes CD20+ B cells, or a placebo.
The proportion of patients with 12-week confirmed disability progression was 39.3 per cent with the placebo versus 32.9 per cent with ocrelizumab. After 24 weeks, the proportion with confirmed disability progression was 35.7 per cent with placebo versus 29.6 per cent with ocrelizumab. By week 120, timed 25-foot walk worsened by 55.1 per cent for placebo versus 38.9 per cent for ocrelizumab. Patients given ocrelizumab were also found to have fewer new brain lesions and less brain volume loss than those given the placebo.
Researchers also tested ocrelizumab in two separate studies of patients with relapsing remitting MS, one a group of 821 and the other 835. In both studies, patients were randomized on a 1:1 ratio to receive either ocrelizumab or an already established treatment for relapsing MS: subcutaneous interferon-beta, injected three times weekly. Compared to the placebo, relapse rates in patients given ocrelizumab were 46-per-cent lower in one study and 47-per-cent lower in the other. Ocrelizumab was found to reduce the risk of disability progression after 12 weeks and 24 weeks, and reduced the number of new brain lesions.
The study noted that infusion-related reactions occurred in 34.3 per cent of ocrelizumab-treated patients. Serious infections were not more frequent with ocrelizumab compared to the interferon (1.3 versus 2.9 per cent respectively). Malignancies occurred in four ocrelizumab-treated patients and in two interferon-treated patients. Further observation is required to determine the long-term safety of ocrelizumab.
"The results in patients with relapsing remitting MS not only demonstrate very high efficacy against relapses, but also underscore the important emerging role of B cells of the immune system in the development of relapses," says Bar-Or. "While the results in patients with primary progressive MS are more modest, they nonetheless represent the very first successful trial in such patients, a breakthrough as primary progressive MS now transitions from a previously untreatable condition to one that can be impacted by therapy. It is an important step forward in the field."
These studies, funded by Roche, were both published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Dec. 21, 2016.
MS in Canada
Canada has one of the world's highest rates of MS - about 1,100 new cases each year. Some 50,000 Canadians have MS, and more than one-in-five patients are in Quebec. MS is one of the most common neurological diseases among young Canadians. Children as young as two can develop the disease. It typically strikes people in their prime years, between 15 and 40. Women are twice as likely as men to contract MS.

The question is not whether the cloud is secure, but rather how to ensure the security of data in the cloud. If it's a public cloud, choosing one that is SSAE 16 certified is a step in the right direction, but it doesn't necessarily relieve the cloud client from responsibility for industry-specific regulatory compliance. Private clouds, on the other hand, will adhere to the same level of security that the parent organization is using, so the level of security is completely within the client's control. Remote access to private-cloud-hosted resources is enabled through mechanisms used in traditional data centers and can be restricted and protected in a similar fashion.

The fourth generation of mobile phone standards LTE (Long Term Evolution), developed by the 3GPP ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project), offers an up to seven times faster upload speed with upload speeds of up to 50mbps. Retrofitting the infrastructure of UMTS (3G) to LTE-Advanced (4G) will not be a hurdle, as the basic scheme of UMTS persists. In addition to the higher capacity, the benefits of 4G LTE are the significantly lower latency times. These play a key role in the smooth retrieval of IoT applications that rely on real-time information, such as data from production systems or traffic information.
Currently, 5G is being developed and said to be ready for launching in 2020.
The rate of transmission is supposed to be 10 times the rate of LTE speed and will enhance connectivity between machines and devices.
Another advantage of LTE: Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT). This is a new mobile network, which is based on the LTE standard and is used exclusively for IoT applications. Compared to mobile networks (2G, 3G and 4G), NB-IoT offers energy-saving capabilities that increase the battery life of simple IoT applications up to 10 years.
This technology is used for communicating with "things", which transfer only small amounts of data over long periods of time and are located in hard-to-reach places.
The LTE Narrowband technologies Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 already provide alternatives to the 2G standard, which has already been shut down in some countries.

An undercover drug investigation in October by the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Department resulted in a flurry of drug-related charges last week in Sequoyah County District Court, Sallisaw.
Those charged in the first case, on Jan. 10, include Brooke Ashley Byrd, 30, of Sallisaw. She is charged with distribution of a controlled dangerous substance and possession with intent to distribute.
Jeremy John Batt, 37, of Sallisaw was charged Jan. 10 with distribution of a controlled dangerous substance.
In a second case, Tamera Beth Young, 33, of Vian was charged on Jan. 10 with distribution of a controlled dangerous substance and possession with intent to distribute.
In a third case Penny Michelle Thomas, 45, of Sallisaw was also charged on Jan. 10 with distribution of controlled dangerous substance and possession with intent to distribute.
According to the investigators' reports filed with the charges, on Oct. 3 an informant was able to purchase a half gram of a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine from Byrd at her residence in Sallisaw and from Young at her residence in Vian.
On Oct. 25 an informant purchased a half gram of a substance which tested positive as methamphetamine from Thomas at her residence in Sallisaw.
According to court records, a bench warrant was issued Thursday for Bryd's arrest and her bond was set at $10,000. A bench warrant was also issued for Batt, but no bond was listed.
A bench warrant was also issued Thursday for Young, and her bond was set at $10,000.
Thomas was arrested and released on a $10,000 bond. She entered a not guilty plea to the charges Friday, and her next court appearance will be March 1 on Associate District Judge Kyle Waters' disposition docket.


The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement ("TPPA") is one step closer to being implemented in New Zealand, following the first reading of the TPPA Amendment Bill in Parliament on 12 May 2016. This week, Baldwins will be publishing a summary of the changes proposed to New Zealand's intellectual property laws by the TPPA Amendment Bill, and consider the practical implications of these changes for New Zealand businesses.
The final text of the TPPA was signed on 4 February 2016. However, in order for the TPPA to have any legal force, the countries involved now need to align their domestic laws with the agreement. That is the purpose of the New Zealand TPPA Amendment Bill (the "Bill").
The changes proposed in the Bill will affect New Zealand intellectual property laws by amending existing copyright, patents, trade marks, and border control laws. In this article, we examine the proposed amendments to the Patents Act 2013 and the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act 1997 (the ACVM Act).
those made for the purposes of reasonable trial.
The Bill proposes to establish a grace period of 12 months for all public disclosures which occur within one year before the filing of a complete specification.[ii] In other words, innovators who make their inventions public will not immediately lose the ability to be granted a New Zealand patent, provided that they file an application within 12 months of making the disclosure.
This is a welcome and significant change for many innovators. No longer will inadvertent disclosures affect the validity of a subsequent New Zealand application. This change will also harmonise New Zealand's grace periods with that of other major territories, including Australia, the United States, Japan and Canada. However, grace periods do not apply in many other major territories including most European countries. Therefore, inadvertent disclosures may still prevent the obtaining of patent protection in other overseas jurisdictions.
Following the 1994 Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement, New Zealand increased the maximum term of a patent from 16 years to 20 years and removed any provision for patent term extensions. Until this time, there was provision for the term of a patent relating to a pharmaceutical product to be extended by a maximum of 10 years.
unreasonable delays in the safety and efficacy approval process run by Medsafe in respect of a biologic or a pharmaceutical substance per se.
Delays on the part of applicants or third parties will not contribute to an assessment of whether the delay is unreasonable.
A patent will only become eligible for a patent term extension if it was not granted within five years of its effective filing date, or within three years from the date examination was requested by the applicant(s). No further guidance is given as to what might be considered "unreasonable delays".
At present, all New Zealand patent applications are examined by the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ). Given the efficiency of patent grant in New Zealand, it is hard to imagine a realistic situation in which either of these time limits would be exceeded by IPONZ. At present, there is a limit of five years from a patent's effective filing date in which to request examination. Given that IPONZ has a relatively light backlog of unexamined patents, directions to request examination typically issue well within this five year time frame. The light backlog also means it is unlikely a three year delay on the part of IPONZ in the actual examination process will ever occur. Furthermore, once examined, applicants only have a (non-extendable) 12 month period from the date of the first examination report in which to place the application in order for acceptance.
However, it is proposed that the Intellectual Property Office of Australia (IP Australia) will be able to examine New Zealand patent applications and IPONZ will be able to examine Australian patent applications.
Grant of a patent typically takes longer through IP Australia than through IPONZ. There is therefore an increased likelihood of the five and three year time limits mentioned above being triggered by IP Australia. This may mean that delays on the part of IP Australia in the examination of a New Zealand patent could allow a patent term extension to be requested. If granted, the patent will be extended at the most valuable end of its life. If applicants are given the option of choosing which patent office examines their application, it is not unreasonable to expect that large pharmaceutical companies, for example, will elect IP Australia as the examining body for their New Zealand patent applications.
The Bill proposes a patent term extension of three years for small molecule pharmaceuticals and five years for biologics where it is deemed that as a result of the marketing approval process, there has been an unreasonable curtailment of the effective patent term.[iv] The Bill uses wording similar to that in the Australian Patents Act 1990; for example, the intention is that the term "pharmaceutical substance per se" is to have the same meaning as under Australian law.
As with IPONZ, Medsafe runs a very efficient regulatory approval process. Very few unreasonable delays on the part of Medsafe are therefore expected. In addition, Medsafe is only responsible for pre-marketing approval of products. The funding of medicines is the responsibility of the Pharmaceutical Management Agency of New Zealand (Pharmac), not Medsafe. Therefore, any delay in obtaining a listing on the Pharmaceutical schedule of funded medicines is unlikely to be considered when assessing whether a patent term extension is warranted.
Under the ACVM, registration of an agricultural compound is required before a compound may be sold, used, manufactured or imported. To obtain registration, the manufacturer must provide trial data in support of their application for registration. This trial data often includes confidential information on a new active ingredient. In addition, the costs incurred in producing the trial data will often be significant. Therefore, the manufacturer will not want such information being immediately made publically available to competitors before it has had a chance to recoup the costs incurred.
Data protection, or data exclusivity, is the term given to the period in which trial data generated by a product originator to satisfy regulatory requirements cannot be used by a generic manufacturer to obtain approval of their own generic product. Therefore, when data protection is in place, the generic manufacturer must either wait until the protection period lapses to rely on the data or they must undertake their own trials to generate their own data.
The Bill proposes to increase the data protection period from five to 10 years for safety and efficacy data relating to innovative agricultural compounds.[v] The 10 year period will run from the date of registration of the innovative agricultural compound.
The Bill does not propose any changes to the five year data protection period[vii] provided for new pharmaceuticals in New Zealand. This is one area in which New Zealand stood its ground during TPP negotiations.
Regulatory requirements for registration of an agricultural compound are not as onerous as those for a pharmaceutical. Accordingly, where the agricultural compound is also the subject of patent protection, the 20 year patent term is likely to remain in force at the time the 10 year data protection period expires. Therefore, the impact on availability or cost of patented agricultural compounds is likely to be minimal.
However, for unpatented agricultural compounds the longer data protection period could result in a delay in the entry of generic products onto the market. Generic products provide for increased competition resulting in lower prices. If generic manufacturers are unwilling to incur the costs of generating their own trial data, a longer period of higher prices to end users could result. The rationale for the extended 10 year period was however to encourage research and release of new products to maintain the competitiveness of New Zealand's agricultural sector.
Finally, although there was some debate over whether the extended data protection period should be extended to cover innovative formulations comprising known agricultural compounds, such formulations have not been covered by the Bill. Arguably, this prevents stimulation of the release of innovative formulations into New Zealand.
The TPPA is a free trade agreement reached between 12 countries in the Pacific: New Zealand, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam.
It is one of the most ambitious free trade agreements, aiming to harmonise and liberalise trade and investment, thereby bringing future economic growth for the countries involved. Trade Minister Todd McLay has said that the TPPA will, "support New Zealand's global connectedness, maximise opportunities for exporters, and in turn grow the prosperity of the economy for the benefit of New Zealanders".
Following the first reading in Parliament, the TPPA Amendment Bill has now been referred to the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee for its review. The Committee will hear submissions from the public and report back to Parliament in November 2016.
From here, the bill goes into a second reading, a further committee, and then a third reading before it goes to the Governor-General for Royal Assent. Omnibus bills such as this one, where various bills are consolidated into one piece of legislation, are often split up during the committee stages into several bills which would each require a separate parliamentary vote. A general timeline of the legislative process can be found here.
Further afield, support for ratification of the TPPA has stalled in the US, threatening the viability of the agreement as a whole. The TPPA provisions cannot enter into force unless at least the US and Japan ratify the agreement. It is thought that a ratification vote may be sought in the US in the "lame duck" period after the US election in November and before the new President is appointed to office.
We will keep you updated with developments in this area.
[iii] Clause 75 of the Bill inserts new subpart 10A into Part 3 of the Patents Act 2013.
[iv] Proposed new sections 111C to 111I of the Patents Act 2013.

National Sailing Hall of Fame Inducts New Honorees
By Mark Reid | October 18, 2021 | Newport, RI | 0
Legendary sailors from near and far gathered this weekend for the National Sailing Hall of Fame induction ceremony, held for the first time at the old Newport Armory building currently under renovation. The Armory will become the Sailing Museum's new home next summer.
A bird's-eye view of the induction ceremony dinner inside the Armory. The building will be quickly transformed to its work-in-progress mode for next year's grand opening.

The old armory, built in 1885, was the media building for multiple America's Cups and served as the site for press conferences over the years, including several of Ted Turner's notorious post-race affairs. In 1983, it was where Dennis Conner tearfully had to explain his loss of the Auld Mug to the Australians.
Saturday's proceeding, emceed by Gary Jobson, was one of joy and celebration as the 11 new inductees joined the 90 current Hall of Fame members. The ceremony also honored members of the Class of 2020 who were recognized in a virtual ceremony last year.
The inductees were:
Alexander 'Red' Bryan and Cortlandt 'Bud' Heyniger, founders of Alcort, Inc., designers and producers of the iconic Sunfish.
William 'Carl' Buchan, championship sailor, Olympic gold medal winner and 1988 defender of the America's Cup.
Agustin 'Augie' Diaz, Rolex Yachtsman of the Year, Star, Snipe and Laser World Champion, and 5O5 North American Champion.
Gilbert T. Gray, Olympic gold medalist in the Star Class debut Olympiad, race official and chief measurer.
Lynne Jewell Shore, one of the first women to win an Olympic gold medal in sailing, Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year, and former executive director of Sail Newport.
Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, the founder of the US Naval War College (1884) and leading educator on seamanship and training for the Navy.
Jane Wiswell Pegel, a three-time Martini & Rossi (now Rolex) Yachtswoman of the Year and winner of several national and North American championships in sailing and iceboating.
Dawn Riley, the first woman ever to manage an America's Cup syndicate and the first American to sail in three America's Cups and two Whitbread Round the World (now The Ocean Race) races.
Richard 'Dick' Rose, a 30-year member of World Sailing's Racing Rules of Sailing Committee, considered 'the' international authority on the Racing Rules of Sailing.
The Lifetime Achievement Award recipient for 2021 is Captain William D. 'Bill' Pinkney, the first African American to solo-circumnavigate the world via the Capes.
Captain Pinkney was the keynote speaker. His speech was one of the highlights of the weekend. It was a mix of sardonic humor with some very poignant examples of the numerous hurdles he faced even before he began his legendary voyage. Many points of racial references left an impression on those who listened to his passionate words.
Captain William D. Pinkney was the evening's keynote speaker.
"I cannot express accurately the emotions today that I feel. It's really overwhelming," said Captain Pinkney. "The sea provides the most level playing field of any sport. It cares nothing about your age, your sex, your color, your religion, your nationality. And your ability, or lack thereof, will be extracted in a short period of time by a stiff breeze, a squall or a storm."
Lynne Jewell Shore is a California legend from Los Angeles. New York Yacht Club named her Yachtswoman of the Year in 1980. Rolex honors followed in 1980 and 1988. She won Olympic gold in Seoul, South Korea, in 1988 with Allison Jolly in the 470 Class. This is just a short list of her numerous achievements and contributions.
"I am part of the Title IX generation, so it never occurred to me there would be separate events for each sex," said Jewell Shore. "Some opportunities for women were limited, but I wanted to compete against the top athletes in the field. More often than not those athletes were men. It wasn't easy. There were hours spent in the gym working on my physical strength. And I invested a lot of time building up my mental toughness. Resilience, determination and fearlessness all played a part in becoming a strong top athlete. There was no other way.
"Jane Pegel, Jan O'Malley, Timmy Larr, to name a few, were a part of the first generation of sailors to go up against top-ranking male sailors. It was not an easy thing to do, but their first step laid the foundation for me and a new generation of female sailors, several of whom have already been inducted into the Hall of Fame. I hope by following their example I have continued to pave the way for the next generation of female sailors."
Carl Buchan was the College Sailor of the Year in 1977. He won a gold medal in 1984 at the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in the Flying Dutchman class, and sailed on Stars & Stripes in 1988 when they defended the America's Cup in 1988. He hails from Seattle, Washington. His father Bill was a legendary sailor as well, with multiple championships in the Star and Soling classes.
"Anything I've ever done sailing/racing-wise, I've always done it because I enjoyed it and it was fun," said Buchan. "I've always wanted to win, but I enjoyed the preparation, and that includes working on the boat and getting that ready, sailing for the pure joy of it, the competition, seeing old friends, and meeting new ones."
Dawn Riley, who has graced these pages of late, has checked off almost every yachting box possible. She was one of the women sailors aboard Maiden, sailed on the America3 all-women's America's Cup team, and was founder, skipper and CEO of America True, representing San Francisco YC in 2000 in Auckland, New Zealand. She is currently the executive director of the Oakcliff Sailing Academy.
George Hinman Jr. and Dawn Riley.
"Having three women and Bill [Pinkney], who is kick-ass, in this group is amazing," said Riley. "And I want to recognize that we need to continue to do this in all of our teams, whether it's business or sailing. For some groups it's 10 times harder to get in, so can we all just agree to ask three times more: How are you? Would you like to come sailing? Have you ever been sailing? … I see a future in our sport with equity, equality, diversity, and with leaders who naturally ask these questions."
Sailors from across the US nominated the inductees. A selection committee comprising representatives from the NSHoF board, previous inductees, the sailing media, the sailing industry, community sailing, a maritime museum, the cruising community and US Sailing reviewed the nominations.
In a COVID-19 world, much of what happened this past weekend could not have been done without the tireless efforts of executive director Heather Ruhsam and her team.
"The 2021 Induction event weekend was incredibly special! It was a reunion for our inductees and a celebration of their newest peers," said Ruhsam. "It was also a milestone for the organization. We gathered in the newly renovated Armory property, a location historically relevant to our sport. As we get closer to opening this national home for sailing, it was wonderful to see sailors from 10 of the country's sailing regions in the room."
"The men and women we recognize today do not live in a world of make-believe," said Gus Carlson, president of the NShoF. "They do not hide and hope for someone to save them. They change things themselves. When it comes to measuring their lives, they do so by testing them … and there is no question they have passed those tests."
The National Sailing Hall of Fame was founded in 2004 as a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to preserving the history of sailing and its impact on American culture; honoring those who have made outstanding contributions to the sport; demonstrating its value as a hands-on tool for scholastic and life skills learning; and inspiring and encouraging sailing development and participation.
"The Sailing Museum will be a wonderful addition to Newport and to the sailing world at large," said Steve Tsuchiya, chairman of the America's Cup Hall of Fame nominating committee. He is helping oversee that portion of the new museum's display. "The interactive display monitor will feature images and biographies of the ACHoF and NSHoF inductees as well as 21 half hulls of important America's Cup yachts, from America to Te Rehutai."
The amazing evening was just the beginning of what will be an amazing museum for generations to come when it opens its doors next summer.

Honfleur is een plaats in Frankrijk. Het ligt in Normandië, op de zuidelijke oever van de monding van de Seine tegenover Le Havre. Daar komt de Seine in het Kanaal uit.

Honfleur is bekend om zijn schilderachtige haven, gekenmerkt door huizen met voorgevels bedekt met leien. Het is dikwijls geschilderd, door Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet en Johan Barthold Jongkind. De Sainte-Catherinekerk, waarvan de klokkentoren van het hoofdgebouw is gescheiden, is de grootste houten kerk in Frankrijk.

Naamgeving en toponymie
Honfleur wordt door de tijd verschillend geschreven. Ze werd respectievelijk vermeld als Hunefleth in 1025, Hunefloth rond 1062, Honneflo in 1198, Honflue in 1246 en Honnefleu in de 15de eeuw. De benoemer fleur, voorheen fleu, komt vaak voor in Normandië: Barfleur, Vittefleur, Harfleur, Crémanfleur, Fiquefleur etc. en betekent "stroom, rivier die in zee loopt". De betekenis van fleur of fleu in die Normandische plaatsnamen staat vermeld in een document uit de 13e eeuw en verwijst daar naar de rivier de Lestre, die door de Contentin stroomt. Wetenschappers zijn er nog altijd niet uit of het deel fleur dan wel uit het Oudnoors, het Angelsaksisch of uit een mix van beide komt. Uit het Oudnoors zou het terugslaan op de stam flóđ die later tot flood evolueerde, of uit het Oudengelse flōd, die beide "waterweg, loop" betekenen. In het Oudengels heeft het een gelijke betekenis, namelijk "getijde, stroming". Fonetisch en semantisch kunnen die hypotheses echter geen indruk maken. Een tweede en aannemelijker uitleg van het deel fleur is dat van het Oudengelse flēot, "beek die naar de zee stroomt, monding" komt. Een andere, bijna analoge betekenis van flēot is "de loop van water, de stroming". Het Engelse suffix fleet is ook terug te vinden in Engelse plaatsnamen zoals Adingfleet, Marfleet, Ousefleet. In de 13de eeuw ontstaat er dan ook verwarring, want fleu "stroom" gaat dan in betekenis en vorm overlappen met de dialectische uitspraak en schrijfwijze van het Franse woord fleur "bloem". Zo komen we in de 16e eeuw dan aan Honfleur. Het voorvoegsel Hon- zou kunnen verwijzen naar een persoon: de Angelsaksische (voor)naam Huna of het Noorse Hunni. Het is ook mogelijk dat het Oudnoorse woord horn voor "hoek" hier werd gebruikt, temeer daar de rivier Claire in een hoek van 90° op de Seine uitloopt, maar er wordt getwijfeld aan deze interpretatie.

Geschiedenis

Oudheid
Caesar vermeldt al in zijn De Bello Gallico: Over veldtochten van de Romeinse legioenen in Gallia, de aanwezigheid van de Gallische stam de Lexovii in de omgeving van de Normandische kust ten zuiden van de Seine. Hun leefgebied werd in het noorden begrensd door de Kanaalkust, in het westen door de rivier de Dive, de rivier de Risle in het oosten en de heuvels van de Perche in het westen. Hun hoofdplaats heette tijdens de Romeinse overheersing Civitas Lexoviorum en komt nagenoeg overeen met het huidige Lisieux.

Zo'n drieduizend onder hen vocht onder het bevel van Vercingetorix in de slag bij Alesia in 52 v.Chr. Volgens Strabo, een Grieks geschiedkundige, vond er in die periode al een intensieve handel plaats in die streek, wijn en olie kwamen uit het Middellands Zeegebied enerzijds en leisteen en metalen zoals lood kwamen uit Groot-Brittannië. Het gebied waar de Lexovii heersten was tot in de vroege middeleeuwen een draaischijf voor handel tussen Groot-Brittannië en het vasteland.

Middeleeuwen
De eerste officiële geschreven vermelding van Honfleur komt van Richard III, hertog van Normandië, in 1027. Het is zeker dat het een belangrijke transithaven was in de 12de eeuw, voor de oversteek van goederen uit Rouen en de rest van Frankrijk met bestemming Engeland. Van de 11de tot de 15de eeuw is de van oorsprong Gallo-Romeinse nederzetting uitgegroeid tot een belangrijke versterkte kustplaats. Door zijn geografische ligging aan de monding van de Seine was Honfleur niet alleen een vissershaven, maar ook een strategische belangrijke haven voor de verdediging van de Seinemonding. Deze laatste vormde de toegangspoort tot Frankrijk en was de kortste (water)weg naar Parijs, waar de koningen hof hielden.

Tijdens de Honderdjarige Oorlog (1316-1453) liet Karel V (1338-1380) het dorpje versterken, zodat de Engelsen de Seine niet zouden kunnen opvaren. Aan de overzijde van de Seine vervulde Harfleur een gelijkaardige functie. Honfleur werd gedurende de 14de en de 15de eeuw verschillende keren bezet door de Engelsen, om weer bevrijd te worden door Franse troepen. De Engelsen bezetten Honfleur in 1357 en daarna opnieuw van 1419 tot 1450. Tussendoor dient de haven als uitvalsbasis voor Franse overvallen op de Engelse kusten. Rond 1450 vernietigden ze grotendeels het stadje Sandwich in Kent, net na de terugtocht van de Engelsen uit Normandië nadat ze verslagen werden in Formigny. In dat plaatsje werden de Engelsen definitief verslagen door een alliantie van Bretoenen en Fransen. Het was de laatste veldslag van de Honderdjarige Oorlog.

Nieuwe tijd
Vanaf het einde van de 15de eeuw tot in de 18de eeuw groeide Honfleur verder. Alle activiteiten stonden in het teken van de scheepsbouw, de maritieme handel en verre expedities, hoewel de rust zwaar verstoord werd tijdens de godsdienstoorlogen in de tweede helft van de 16de eeuw. In 1590 werd de stad ingenomen door Hendrik IV. Tegelijkertijd nam de stad deel aan de grote ontdekkingsreizen. Zo ontdekte Binot Paulmier de Gonneville in 1503 "een tropisch paradijs" waarvan men lang heeft gedacht dat hij Australië had ontdekt, maar achteraf bleek hij in Brazilië terechtgekomen te zijn. Jehan Denis nam in 1506 namens de Franse koning bezit van Labrador en Newfoundland en voer als een van de eersten de Saint Lawrence op, het binnenland van Canada in. Dit alles en meer maakten van Honfleur de belangrijkste stad van Frankrijk voor verkeer naar de Franse kolonies in de Nieuwe Wereld. De vele reizen van Samuel de Champlain vertrokken vanuit Honfleur, waarbij hij onder andere in 1608 Quebec stichtte. Honfleur is ook een tijdlang een piratennest geweest, vanwaaruit onder anderen Jean Doublet "in naam van de koning" buitenlandse koopvaardij aanviel. Honfleur knoopte uitstekende relaties aan met Canada, Louisiana, de Antillen, de Afrikaanse kusten en de Azoren, waardoor de handel floreerde en het ook een van de vijf voornaamste Franse havens werd voor de slavenhandel.

De stad groeide dermate dat een deel van de versterkingen op bevel van Colbert ontmanteld werd. Abraham Duquesne veranderde daarna het open haventje van weleer in een met een deur afgesloten dok, waarin het water ook bij laag tij bleef staan. Dit werk was voltooid in 1684. Het is dit "oude dok" (Vieux Bassin) waarop de huidige toeristische reputatie van Honfleur gebaseerd is. Een deel van de rijkdom van de stad werd toentertijd verzekerd door de verre visserij op kabeljauw bij Newfoundland en de handel in huiden. Zeelui als kapitein Morel-Beaulieu en de schouten-bij-nacht Hamelin en Motard uit Honfleur blonken uit tijdens de oorlogen van de Franse Revolutie en het Keizerrijk. Het verlies van de Franse kolonies in Amerika, de concurrentie van Le Havre, de oorlogen van de Franse Revolutie en van het Eerste Keizerrijk en de blokkade van het continent door de Engelsen veroorzaakten het verval van Honfleur. Het kon zich in de 19de eeuw slechts gedeeltelijk herstellen, dankzij de houthandel met Noord-Europa. Ook daaraan kwam een einde door de verzanding van de haven, die vandaag nochtans functioneel is, zij het eerder als verlengstuk van Rouen, waarvan het de voorhaven is.

Nieuwste tijd
In de tweede helft van de 19e eeuw speelde de stad een grote rol bij het ontstaan van de Impressionistische schilderkunst. De uit Honfleur afkomstige schilder Eugène Boudin was een van de eersten om "en plein air" te gaan schilderen, en hij koos vaak de Normandische stranden als onderwerp. Vanwege het bijzondere licht kwamen ook zijn kunstbroeders als Monet, Jongkind, Courbet en anderen graag naar Honfleur, dat daarom wel de bakermat van het Impressionisme wordt genoemd.

In de Tweede Wereldoorlog bleef Honfleur merendeels gespaard voor oorlogsgeweld en bombardementen. De stad werd op 25 augustus 1944 bevrijd door de Brigade Piron van het Belgische leger.

Toerisme en bezienswaardigheden

Erfgoed

Civiel

De vissershaven
De pittoreske haven telt een 40-tal vaartuigen dagelijks uitvaren langs de kust voor de aanvoer van verse vis. Specialiteit van Honfleur zijn zeevruchten als garnalen en van oktober tot april sint-jakobsschelpen. De garnaalvanger Sainte-Bernadette is een historisch monument en één van de vele oude, opgetuigde vaartuigen hier. Honfleur heeft in dezelfde havenkom een jachthaven. Richting Seine werden andere, grotere dokken aangelegd, terwijl Honfleur ook tussen 20 en 30 grote cruiseschepen per jaar ontvangt.

Lieutenance
Op de funderingen van het vroegere kasteel van Honfleur werd in de 16de eeuw deze voormalige woning van de luitenant van de koning, de gouverneur van Honfleur, opgericht. Tussen de hoektorens van dit merkwaardig gebouw zit een van de twee vroegere toegangspoorten tot de stad gemetseld, de Porte de Caen. Aan het gebouw bevindt zich een herdenkingsplaat voor Samuel de Champlain, de Franse ontdekkingsreiziger. Voor het gebouw liggen verschillende oude sloepen en kotters aangemeerd.

Greniers à sel

De twee overblijvende zouthallen (de derde ging in 1892 in vlammen op) bevatten ooit 10.000 ton zout, dat diende om de vis te pekelen. Ze werden in de 17de eeuw gebouwd met restanten van de oude vestingmuren, met toestemming van Colbert. Het zout kwam vooral uit Brouage (Charente-Maritime). Ook hier verraadt de houten structuur dat de gebouwen gemaakt werden door scheepsbouwers. Deze opslagruimtes worden vandaag gebruikt voor het houden van seminaries, concerten en tentoonstellingen. Ze zijn ook geklasseerd als historisch monument.

Le vieux bassin

De oude havenkom is wellicht het meest markante herkenningspunt in Honfleur. Hij werd gebouwd door de Franse architect Duquesne in opdracht van Colbert. Hij bestaat uit een opeenvolging van hoge, smalle panden in steen met een uitspringende bovenverdieping, gesitueerd langs de Quai Sainte-Cathérine en Quai Saint-Étienne met uitzicht op de jacht- en vissershaven. Aan de havenkant hebben de meeste huizen, die zeven verdiepingen beslaan, een ingang op de begane grond en op de derde verdieping aan de achterkant een uitgang die toegang geeft tot de aanpalende straten. De daken zijn bedekt met leisteen.

Rue des Lingots
Dit is een van de meest typische straten van de stad. De straat is er geplaveid met kasseien en langs weerszijden zijn er authentieke vakwerkhuizen te bewonderen.

Sainte-Bernadette

Deze nog zeewaardige sloep ligt vlak bij de Lieutenance. Het is sinds 1984 een nationaal monument en wordt onderhouden door de vereniging "La Chaloupe d'Honfleur." Deze kotter werd gebruikt om op rivierkreeft te vissen.

Pont de Normandie
Dicht bij Honfleur meer naar het oosten ligt de Pont de Normandie, die de zuidelijke oever van de monding met Le Havre verbindt.

Religieus

Sainte-Catherine

De Sainte-Catherinekerk is opgedragen aan de middeleeuwse heilige Catharina van Alexandrië wier miraculeuze lichaam zou ontdekt zijn op de Sinaïberg. Zij wordt boven de deur van de klokkentoren van Honfleur afgebeeld met een zwaard en het wiel, dat volgens de legende brak toen men er haar op wilde dood folteren. De oorspronkelijke kerk werd tijdens de Honderdjarige Oorlog vernield. In de 15de eeuw waren het de scheepstimmerlui die de kerk volledig reconstrueerden, maar die wel helemaal opnieuw in hout optrokken. De kerk werd gescheiden van de klokkentoren door een pleintje, om het overslaan van brand te voorkomen. Het eerste schip, uit de tweede helft van de 15de eeuw, net na de Honderdjarige Oorlog, lijkt op een omgekeerde romp van een boot. Het geheel toont gelijkenissen met een Noorse middeleeuwse staafkerk. Later werd de klokkentoren gebouwd en in de 16de eeuw volgde een tweede beuk, waarvan de koepel overeenkomt met de houten gewelfbouw van bescheiden gotische kerkjes. Het is een afgerond geheel dat qua structuur helemaal niets met de scheepsbouw te maken heeft. Dit geheel werd zonder enig gebruik van zagen afgewerkt, zoals hun voorouders de Vikings, en zoals afgebeeld op het beroemde tapijt van Bayeux. De steunbalken zijn van ongelijke hoogte omdat men niet altijd eiken vond van voldoende hoogte. Vandaar dat er enkele op een stenen sokkel staan. Het orgel dateert uit de 18de eeuw en komt uit de Saint-Vincentparochie in Rouen. Het geheel werd in het midden van de 19de eeuw grondig gerestaureerd door de Franse architect Viollet-Le-Duc en nog eens aangepast in de 20e eeuw. De klokkentoren en de kerk zijn apart te bezichtigen. Het is de grootste houten kerk van Frankrijk.

Saint-Léonard

De Saint-Léonardkerk, waarvan de eerste melding dateert van 1186, werd vernietigd door de Engelsen in 1357 en in 1419 en herbouwd na de Honderdjarige Oorlog en dient nog steeds als parochiekerk. De gevel is authentiek in flamboyante gotiek uitgevoerd, maar de rest van het gebouw werd in de 17de en 18de eeuw herbouwd. Uit deze tijd stamt de achthoekige klokkentoren met zijn koepelvormige bekroning. De binnenkant is helemaal versierd met muurschilderingen, zelfs op het houten gewelf met open structuur. De fonteinen en wasbekkens naast de kerk werden al in de 15de eeuw vermeld en maken deel uit van de renovatie van het plein door de Dienst van Toerisme.

Saint-Étienne
In deze voormalige kerk is nu het huidige Musée de la Marine gehuisvest.

Chapelle de Notre-Dame-de-Grâce
Deze kapel staat op de Côte de Grâce, van waaraf er een goed uitzicht is over de baai van de Seine en Honfleur zelf. De heuvel en de kapel liggen 1,5 km van het centrum van Honfleur. Oorspronkelijk stond deze kapel op een klif. De oorsprong ervan is te vinden in de 11de eeuw. Robert, hertog van Normandië, bevond zich midden in een vreselijke storm op het Kanaal. Zijn schip bereikte veilig de overkant en als dank voor deze wonderbaarlijke redding besloot hij drie kapellen te bouwen ter ere van de Heilige Maagd. Een in Harfleur, een in Caen en een derde op deze heuvel, vlak buiten Honfleur. De kapel stortte tijdens een storm in 1538 met klif en al in zee. Een beeld van Maria en wat stenen en dakpannen bleven onaangeroerd. In het begin van de 17de eeuw werd de kapel herbouwd op zo'n 200 meter van de klif die in zee was gestort. Sindsdien is het een bedevaartsoord voor passagiers en zeelui die ongehavend uit stormen en rampen op zee komen. Voor hun redding bedanken ze de Heilige Maagd in deze kapel met het branden van kaarsen en ex voto's.

Musea

Stedelijke musea

Musée d'Ethnographie et d'arts populaires
In dit heemkundig museum worden in negen kamers originele Normandische interieurs getoond (waaronder dat van een vissershuis). Meubelen, aardewerk en andere dagelijkse gebruiksvoorwerpen worden hier getoond. Op de binnenplaats van dit museum staat ook een oude waterput. Daarnaast is een gevangenis met cellen uit die tijd te bezoeken. Het bezoek kan afgerond worden met een kijkje in een garen-en-bandwinkeltje uit de 19de eeuw dat allerlei snuisterijen verkoopt.

Musée de la Marine
Het Musée de la Marine is ondergebracht aan het Vieux-Bassin in de 14de-eeuwse kerk van Saint-Étienne, het oudste kerkje van Honfleur. Het museum bezit een schat aan voorwerpen uit de rijke maritieme geschiedenis van Honfleur: scheepsmodellen, zeekaarten, gravures en een heus duikerspak. Het museum behandelt 15 verschillende thema's in verband met het leven op zee en aan de wal. Ook de ontdekking en kolonisatie van de nieuwe wereld komen aan bod.

Religieuze gebouwen met museale nevenfunctie

Privémusea

Musée Eugène-Boudin
Eugène Boudin is voor de schilderkunst en voor de ontwikkeling van het toerisme in Honfleur belangrijk. Deze lokale creatieveling richtte aan het einde van de 19de eeuw de artistieke kring Les rencontres de saint-Simeon - de naam Saint-Siméon verwijst naar de herberg die diende als ontmoetingsplaats van de kunstenaars - op, waar allerlei kunstenaars, zoals de schrijver Baudelaire en schilder Courbet, hun ideeën konden uitwisselen. Museum Eugène Boudin werd in 1868 geopend door Alexandre Dubourg en Eugène Boudin zelf, opdat hier schilders zouden kunnen tentoonstellen die hun inspiratie uit de regio haalden. Het museum bezit een zeer complete verzameling pre-impressionistische kunst van schilders die ooit in Honfleur hebben gewerkt (zoals ook Monet). Boudin was de eerste Franse schilder die zijn landschappen ter plaatse in de buitenlucht schilderde. Hij was nauw bevriend met onder anderen Claude Monet en reisde heel Europa rond.

Eerst vond het museum onderdak in het stadhuis. In 1924 verhuisde het naar zijn huidige locatie, de kapel van het voormalige augustijnenklooster. In 1974 kwam er een nieuw, modern gebouw van drie verdiepingen. In 1988 volgde nog een aanpalend gerenoveerd herenhuis, zodat deze drie gebouwen de ganse collectie van het museum herbergen. Het museum heeft zeven thematische zalen, verspreid over drie verdiepingen. De collectie Désiré-Louveau op de eerste verdieping toont een volkskundige verzameling van kledingstukken, kanten poppen uit Normandië. De meest bezochte zaal is gewijd aan Eugène Boudin en zijn tijdgenoten en toont onder meer werken van zijn kunstenaarsvrienden. Het is ook een thematische rondleiding, die leidt van de romantiek via het symbolisme naar het vroeg-impressionisme (Mozin, Monet, Courbet, Cals). Een deel van de zaal is gereserveerd voor de werken van Boudin zelf, er hangen zo'n 92 etsen, voorstudies en doeken.

Les Maisons Satie

Dit museum bevindt zich in het geboortehuis van de Franse componist Erik Satie, 1866. Dit museum opende zijn deuren in 1998. De bezoeker wandelt door het leven van de componist via een multimediaal voorstelling. Zo kan de bezoeker kennismaken met de man, zijn muziek en zijn tijdgenoten. Sinds 2004 is er ook een expositieruimte met tekeningen en etsen van zijn vrienden en tijdgenoten zoals Derain en Cocteau.

Odin, the King (or Allfather) of the Norse gods, Thor, his son, god of thunder, law and order, and Loki, the trickster god, live in Asgard: the kingdom of the gods above Midgard, which is home to humans. Under Midgard lies Niflheim, the world of the dead, ruled over by Hel, goddess of the underworld.
These stories chart the beginning and end of the Norse saga originally written by Snorri Sturluson, with wonderful adventures, arguments, challenges, fights and much wisdom about human nature inbetween. As the book contains 20 individual stories, as well as a guide to the gods, goddesses, giants and dwarfs included in the tales (as well as a fabulous illustration of the Norse World, with Yggdrasill, the World Tree, linking the worlds, with the giant serpent Jormungand circling Midgard), this is an ideal book to share at bedtime or storytime, or to read very gradually.
If your children loved the recent Marvel movies featuring Thor but haven't heard the original Norse legends before, this compendium of new retellings by Kevin Crossley-Holland would be an excellent place to start. Jeffrey Alan Love's lavish, atmospheric illustration is absolutely stunning and captures the darkness and magic of many of these stories, while remaining modern and full of impact. Fantastic.
This unusual story collection features a total of 12 tales from the six Celtic countries. Fabulous, ethereal illustrations capture the magical nature of the narratives which, like all the oldest fables, are rather grisly but also hilarious and quirky.
Jackie Morris's lyrical descriptions imagine each child's relationship with their own dragon, and the reader is invited to imagine their dragon, too, at the end of the book.

Has the institution conducted a survey or other evaluation that allows for anonymous feedback to measure employee satisfaction and engagement during the previous three years?:
Percentage of employees assessed, directly or by representative sample:
A brief description of the institution's methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
One of the objectives of the Université de Sherbrooke's Strategic Plan 2018–2022, entitled Oser transformer [EN: Dare to Transform], is to design "enabling" work and study environments in line with the orientation to develop pride and commitment of the entire university community. This objective has been notably implemented through the adoption of an integrated and collaborative approach to organizational health with recognized indicators: l'Indice de santé organisationnelle (ISO) [EN: Organizational Health Index (OHI)].
The OHI has four objectives:
• To provide the University with a comprehensive and reliable index of organizational health
• To monitor the evolution of organizational health over time
• To develop a strategy, accompanied by an institutional action plan based on the observed findings
• To make all members of the community responsible for organizational health at the University
The work started in October 2018 with the establishment of a multidisciplinary strategic committee of 14 people (members of senior management, managers, academic experts, etc.), with the aim of conducting a literature review and identifying the OHI domains and indicators. In May 2019, several members of the community were consulted to validate the domains integrated into the index, and to assign them weighting.

For example, "Santé physique, psychologique et saines habitudes de vie" [EN: Physical and psychological health, and healthy lifestyle] accounts for 25% of the index, "Emploi du temps" [EN: Timetable] for 12%, and "Éducation/Développement des compétences et carrière" [EN: Education/Skills development and career] for 10%.

During the period from April 2019 to October 2020, a group of experts developed surveys for staff and students and set up the calculation method. The surveys assessed staff members' job satisfaction, learning and advancement opportunities as well as work culture and work/life balance by measuring several indicators, including the following:
• Enabling management practices
• Sense of empowerment
• Psychosocial safety climate in the work environment
• Quality of work relationships
• Workload
• Sense of professional development
• Sense of confidence in one's abilities
• Sense of life balance
• Healthy lifestyle habits
The organizational health approach and surveys were submitted for approval to the Université de Sherbrooke's Research Ethics Board.
The anonymous questionnaires were administered in 2020, between October 27 and November 22, to 33,000 people who make up the entire university community, i.e., students and academic, professional, and support staff. The participation rate was 33% among staff and 9% among the student community.
Several key steps were taken to ensure the rigour and relevance of the process. Healthy collaboration between stakeholders, including direction, partners, and content experts, is a key ingredient in the success of each phase. Participation and involvement mechanisms were put in place at various key stages to harness the expertise and experience of members of the university community, whether to stimulate reflection, deliberate on ends, negotiate means, or experiment with possibilities. Regular meetings were necessary to mobilize unit management and partners throughout the OHI process.

A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
Two institutional committees were set up to study the results of the organizational health assessment and to make recommendations for action at the institutional level.
https://www.usherbrooke.ca/decouvrir/a-propos/sante-organisationnelle/faits-saillants-et-orientations-institutionnelles
In the winter of 2021, the various results were communicated to the entire university community, with each unit communicating its own results to its staff and student population. Participation and governance mechanisms were then put in place in each of the units so that they could adopt an action plan associated with the indicators they wished to continue improving. More specifically, this ownership process focused on the specific results of the OHI, by units, as well as on the major institutional orientations in organizational health. The process of constant improvement and commitment of the people will continue until 2025.
To support the units and monitor the evolution of the Université de Sherbrooke's Organizational Health Index, a new measurement will be taken in the autumn of 2022. The longitudinal survey will then be repeated every two years.

On Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 1:00 PM Eastern time, recently retired IFBB pro bodybuilder Heather Armbrust will join us on the airwaves of MuscleSport Radio. In her last contest, Armbrust (who once again will go by her maiden name Policky) was the runner-up to Iris Kyle at the 2009 Ms. Olympia.
Since then, a scenario of 'what can go wrong will go wrong' seemed to be the mantra of Policky's life. Injuries forced her to sit out the 2010 Arnold Classic (Ms. International) and then a series of personal problems that included going through a divorce, alcohol and drug use, as well as a stint in rehab, caused her to stay away from the sport and the fitness lifestyle in general.
Policky is back on track with her life now and although she is currently retired and has stated that she has no plans to ever compete again as a bodybuilder, we will see if a change to the new Women's Physique Division may be in the cards for her.
MuscleSport Radio can be heard live every Tuesday from 1:00 to 1:30 PM Eastern time on www.blogtalkradio.com and all episodes are archived and available free on Blog Talk Radio, MuscleSport Mag and iTunes. Join us on the air by calling in at (347) 884-8157.

2011 WI App 144
A. John Voelker
Acting Clerk of Court of Appeals
Appeal No.�
Cir. Ct. No.� 2005CV1375
STATE OF WISCONSIN�
����������� APPEAL from a judgment of the circuit court for Dane County:� david t. flanagan, iii, Judge.� Affirmed.�
����������� Before Lundsten, P.J., Vergeront and Higginbotham, JJ.
�1������� HIGGINBOTHAM, J. William Radley, Sr. died while a patient at a facility owned and operated by ThedaCare, Inc.� Radley�s estate and surviving family members (collectively, �the Estate�) brought suit against ThedaCare.[1]� Following a jury trial, the trial court ordered ThedaCare to pay costs to the Estate pursuant to Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1) (2009-10).[2]� ThedaCare appeals the award of statutory costs.� We conclude the circuit court properly awarded costs to the Estate pursuant to � 814.01(1) because the Estate was the prevailing party and obtained a recovery within the meaning of the statute.� We therefore affirm.
�2������� In early April 2004, William Radley, Sr. was hospitalized for several days following a heart attack.� Radley was then transferred to the Wisconsin Veterans Home in King, Wisconsin.� The discharging physician prescribed anticoagulants and recommended a daily test to monitor the effects of the anticoagulants.� At the Veterans Home, a ThedaCare physician determined it was not necessary to perform the anticoagulant monitoring test on a daily basis.� The first anticoagulant monitoring test was performed approximately two weeks after Radley was transferred to the Veterans Home.� Radley died two days later.� An autopsy performed by the Milwaukee County Coroner determined that Radley died of excessive blood loss.�
�3������� The Estate of William Radley, Sr. filed a medical malpractice and wrongful death action against ThedaCare, alleging that physicians employed by ThedaCare were negligent in the care and treatment of Radley for failing to properly monitor his anticoagulation medication. The Estate sought damages related to ThedaCare�s negligence.� Shortly before trial, the Estate and ThedaCare entered into two stipulations.� In the first stipulation, ThedaCare conceded that it was negligent with respect to its policies and procedures for monitoring Radley�s anticoagulation medication and that its negligence was a substantial factor in causing injury and death to Radley.� In that stipulation, it was stated that �ThedaCare is disputing the nature, extent and whether there were other substantial factors causing the damages the plaintiffs are claiming.��� In the second stipulation, ThedaCare acknowledged responsibility for $10,052.07 in funeral expenses incurred as a result of Radley�s death and that the court would answer the damage question regarding the amount of the funeral expenses.
�4������� A trial was held on whether ThedaCare negligently caused Radley�s pre-death pain and suffering by negligently monitoring Radley�s anticoagulation medication.� ThedaCare�s position at trial was that Radley�s pre-death pain and suffering was caused by factors other than its negligent monitoring of his anticoagulation medication.� On the sole question presented�the amount of Radley�s damages caused by the negligent monitoring of Radley�s anticoagulation medication at the Veterans Home�the jury returned an answer of zero dollars.��
�5������� After the trial, the Estate submitted a bill of costs to the court pursuant to Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1).� ThedaCare objected to the Estate�s request for costs and filed its own motion for costs pursuant to Wis. Stat. � 814.03(1) as a prevailing defendant.� The court, in a written order, granted the Estate�s request for costs.� ThedaCare filed a motion for reconsideration, which the court denied in a written order.� Based upon the stipulations and the jury�s verdict, a judgment was entered in favor of the Estate, awarding costs to the Estate for the funeral and burial expenses, plus interest and taxable costs.� ThedaCare appeals.� Additional facts are provided as necessary in the discussion section.�����
�6������� The sole issue on this appeal is whether the Estate is entitled to costs under Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1).� This presents a question of statutory interpretation, which is a question of law subject to de novo review.� Harnischfeger Corp. v. LIRC, 196 Wis. 2d 650, 659, 539 N.W.2d 98 (1995).�
�7������� When interpreting a statute, we begin with the statutory language and give it its common meaning.� State ex rel. Kalal v. Circuit Court for Dane County, 2004 WI 58, �45, 271 Wis. 2d 633, 681 N.W.2d 110.� If the meaning of the statute is plain, we stop the inquiry and apply that meaning.� Id.
�8������� Wisconsin Stat. � 814.01(1) provides as follows: �Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, costs shall be allowed of course to the plaintiff upon a recovery.�� This statute has been interpreted to apply only to a plaintiff who is a �prevailing party� in a �litigated trial court proceeding.�� Finkenbinder v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., 215 Wis. 2d 145, 151, 572 N.W.2d 501 (Ct. App. 1997).�
�9������� Costs awarded pursuant to Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1) �are contemplated when there has been a �final determination on the merits� and the action ends in �judgment for one party or the other.��� Finkenbinder, 215 Wis. 2d at 150 (quoting DeGroff v. Schmude, 71 Wis. 2d 554, 568, 238 N.W.2d 730 (1976)).� The purpose of the costs statute is �to recompense the prevailing party for some of the cost of the vindication of his rights.�� Id.� Costs �are payable by the defeated party upon the completion of the litigation process.�� Id.�
�10����� ThedaCare argues the Estate is not entitled to costs under Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1) for three reasons: (1) the Estate was not the �prevailing party� because it did not obtain a �recovery� as a result of the resolution of a disputed issue in a trial; (2) case law limits awarding costs obtained by a settlement and the stipulation here is akin to a settlement; and (3) awarding costs based on stipulations is against public policy.� We reject these arguments and conclude that the court properly awarded the Estate costs under � 814.01(1).
�11����� ThedaCare first argues the Estate is not entitled to costs under Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1) as the prevailing party because the Estate did not obtain a recovery by the mechanism of a trial.� According to ThedaCare, there was no recovery because the jury returned a zero dollar verdict on the only issue resolved at trial, the amount of damages for Radley�s pre-death pain and suffering. ThedaCare argues that the Estate�s award of $10,052.07 in funeral expenses is not a �recovery� for purposes of � 814.01(1) because it was not the product of a �litigated trial court proceeding� under Finkenbinder, but rather was obtained by stipulation.� In other words, ThedaCare suggests that a �litigated trial court proceeding� means a� trial, and thus a prevailing party is one who obtains a recovery as the result of a favorable trial verdict, not by stipulation.� We disagree.
�12����� We begin with the language of Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1).� The statute requires the award of costs to a plaintiff �upon a recovery.�� That is, the statute does not limit the circumstances under which a recovery must be made to be entitled to costs.� Thus, nothing in the statutory language requires that the �recovery� result from a dispute resolved by a trial.�
�13����� Case law interpreting an early version of � 814.01(1) states that �recovery� for purposes of this statute refers to recovery on the judgment, not recovery on the verdict.� See Hartwig v. Eliason, 164 Wis. 331, 332, 159 N.W. 943 (1916).� In Hartwig, the trial court awarded full costs to the defendant on the theory that the plaintiff had not obtained a �recovery� within the meaning of the statute.� In that case, after a trial, the plaintiff and defendant were each awarded six cents in damages on their respective claims and counterclaims.� The supreme court upheld the award of costs to the defendant based on an interpretation of Wis. Stat. ch. 129, � 2918 (1915), the former � 814.01(1); and Wis. Stat. ch. 129, � 2920 (1915), the former � 814.03(1).� Although the plaintiff had been awarded damages of six cents on the verdict, and therefore arguably made a �recovery,� the Hartwig court concluded �recovery� within the statute meant on the judgment, and the plaintiff had not recovered on the judgment because the judgment awarded the plaintiff nothing due to the off-setting awards.� Thus, under Hartwig, courts assessing a request for costs under Wis. Stat. �� 814.01(1) or 814.03(1) look to whether the plaintiff has made a recovery under a judgment, not to whether he or she obtained a favorable verdict at trial.�
�14����� ThedaCare�s reliance on the phrase �litigated trial court proceeding� in Finkenbinder is misplaced.� According to ThedaCare, in Finkenbinder we used the phrase �litigated trial court proceeding� to mean tried to a verdict.� This is a misreading of Finkenbinder.� In Finkenbinder, we distinguished between arbitration and a �litigated trial court proceeding� in the context of concluding that costs under Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1)[3] did not include costs in an arbitration.� Finkenbinder, 215 Wis. 2d at 151-52.� Nothing in Finkenbinder suggests that we meant that costs under � 814.01(1) are available to a plaintiff only if the issue on which the plaintiff prevails in a trial court proceeding is resolved by a trial.
�15����� Based upon the plain language of Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1) and Hartwig�s interpretation of �recovery� in an early version of the statute, we conclude that a plaintiff obtains a �recovery� and is entitled to statutory expenses under � 814.01(1) when litigation results in a court judgment awarding a recovery.� A prevailing plaintiff for purposes of � 814.01(1) is a plaintiff who is awarded a recovery in a judgment, not, as ThedaCare incorrectly suggests, a plaintiff who obtains a recovery as a result of a recovery dispute resolved by a trial.
�16����� In this case, the circuit court entered a judgment incorporating� the parties� stipulations that ThedaCare�s negligence was a substantial factor in causing Mr. Radley�s death, and that ThedaCare would pay the Estate $10,052.07 for Radley�s funeral expenses.� We conclude that, regardless of the jury�s zero dollar verdict on the question of Radley�s pain and suffering resulting from ThedaCare�s negligence, the Estate made a �recovery� within the meaning of Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1) when the court entered a final judgment that included a recovery in the amount of $10,052.07.
�17����� ThedaCare next argues that, as a matter of law, Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1) does not apply to claims resolved by �stipulation or settlement,� such as in this case.� ThedaCare asserts that the stipulations in this case are �akin to a settlement,� and that in Aul v. Golden Rule Insurance Co., 2007 WI App 165, ��42-44, 304 Wis. 2d 227, 737 N.W.2d 24, we held that costs are not allowed for settlements, which, we said, do not constitute a �judicial recovery.�� This is not a correct reading of Aul.� The statement that ThedaCare relies on in Aul simply referred to the particular settlement in that case as not being a judicial recovery.� Nothing in Aul suggests that settlements in general do not result in a judicial recovery.� What is significant in Aul for our purposes here is that there, the settlement did not result in a recovery in a judgment.[4]� Here, however, the stipulations resulted in a judgment for the Estate in the amount of $10,052.07.� We conclude that nothing in Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1) or the case law interpreting the costs statutes prevents a plaintiff from obtaining costs when the recovery is a result of a stipulation and judgment.
�18����� Finally, ThedaCare argues that allowing a plaintiff to recover costs based on a payment made as a result of a stipulation violates public policy.� It argues that awarding costs against parties who enter into stipulations to narrow the issues to be tried will discourage these types of agreements.� ThedaCare also points out that Wisconsin has a �long standing policy in favor of settlements,� and that imposing costs against parties that stipulate conflicts with this policy and will result in piecemeal litigation.� This argument lacks merit.� We are aware of no authority permitting us to ignore the plain language of a statute and interpret that statute based on our own view of desirable public policy.�
�19����� Regardless, awarding costs here is, in fact, consistent with the public policy underlying the statute, which is �to recompense the prevailing party for some of the cost of the vindication of his rights.�� Finkenbinder, 215 Wis. 2d at 150 (citation omitted).� The Estate incurred costs to file the complaint and litigate the case in order to obtain a recovery.� The Estate would not have incurred the cost to litigate had ThedaCare accepted liability and paid damages prior to the filing of the lawsuit.� The costs statute is designed to compensate parties such as the Estate for having to vindicate their rights in court regardless whether the case is tried or resolved upon stipulations.��
�20����� Because we conclude that the Estate was the prevailing party in a litigated trial court proceeding, we conclude the circuit court properly awarded the Estate costs pursuant to Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1).[5]� We affirm.
����������� By the Court.�Judgment affirmed.
[1] We refer to the defendants, ThedaCare, Inc. doing business as ThedaCare Physicians Services-Waupaca Family Medicine Associates, and Midwest Medical Insurance Company, collectively as �ThedaCare.���
[2] All references to the Wisconsin Statutes are to the 2009-10 version unless otherwise noted.
[3] In Finkenbinder v. State Farm Mutual Auto Insurance Co., 215 Wis. 2d 145, 148-49, 572 N.W.2d 501 (Ct. App. 1997), we construed the predecessor statute to Wis. Stat. � 814.01(1), � 814.01.� The wording of the statute has not changed.�
[4] Aul v. Golden Rule Insurance Co., 2007 WI App 165, 304 Wis. 2d 227, 737 N.W.2d 24, involved multiple defendants.� After the Auls had settled with most of the defendants, the circuit court granted summary judgment to their insurer, the remaining defendant, and awarded that defendant costs under Wis. Stat. � 814.03(1).� On appeal, the Auls argued that the circuit court had the discretion under Wis. Stat. � 814.03(2) not to award costs to their insurer because the Auls had �recovered� against the other defendants with whom they had settled.� Id., �44.� We rejected the Auls� argument based on a plain reading of � 814.03(1).� Id.���
[5] ThedaCare argues that it is entitled to recover costs under Wis. Stat. � 814.03(1) because the Estate, as the plaintiff, is not entitled to costs under � 814.01(1).� Because we conclude that the Estate is entitled to costs under � 814.01(1), it follows that ThedaCare is not entitled to costs under � 814.03(1).�


In both existing Star Wars trilogies, important characters are killed off. These deaths have a major impact on the lead character(s).
In Star Wars IV, Luke's uncle Owen and his aunt Beru are brutally murdered. And towards the end of the movie, Obi-Wan Kenobi is killed by Darth Vader. Yoda dies in Episode VI.
In the Prequel Trilogy, Anakin suffers a similar loss: first Qui-Gon Jinn is killed by Darth Maul, and in episode II, Anakin loses his mother. It traumatizes him, and these deaths make him vulnerable to the Dark Side.
The question is: will J.J. Abrams follow this theme in the new Star Wars trilogy? After all, the movies will be about Star WARS. No wars without casualties. Abrams didn't hesitate to destroy an entire planet in his first Star Trek movie: the planet Vulcan suffered a fate similar to that of Alderaan in Star Wars Episode IV. So who will die in Episode VII?
We discuss the question in this new episode of Secrets of Star Wars, and we speculate about other plot elements on the basis of new Star Wars rumors. One character will be back for sure: R2-D2 (Abrams confirmed it). But what about C-3PO? Listen to the show to find out more!
Great podcast! Enjoyed all of it! Looking forward to the next one!
