When you are charged with any crime, it is important to seek legal counsel immediately in order to protect your future. The negative stigma that is associated with domestic violence charges can lead to problems even before the case is decided. While it is illegal to be based when hearing a case, there may be a subconscious barrier that causes more problems during your trial. At Takakjian & Sitkoff, we have attorneys that have decades of experience defending domestic violence and other criminal charges throughout Southern California.
But why do you need an attorney? It isn't just a stigma that you have to battle in court. If you are convicted, the charge will stay on your record. This could lead to barriers in the workplace, prevent you from obtaining certain jobs in the future, and it can also affect your relationships with friends and family. In addition to these societal punishments are the criminal penalties. If you are convicted, you could face fines of up to $10,000 and jail time of up to five years. You may also be required to complete a 52-week batterers' intervention program. These penalties can vary depending on the severity of the abuse, the circumstances surrounding the violence, and the number of times abuse occurred. These penalties are no laughing matter, and it is important to have a defense attorney to represent you in court.
The attorneys at Takakjian & Sitkoff have over two decades of experience defending cases in Southern California. As experts in criminal law, we can help you make the most of you situation. We know how detrimental a conviction can be to your future, and we will work to minimize the effects of any charges that are brought against you. There are specific categories within the broader term "Domestic Violence," and each category has its own strategy for defense. These categories include spousal abuse, child abuse, and criminal threats.
While it is best to speak with an attorney, there are a few common defenses that can be made, depending on the circumstances surrounding your case. These defenses include self-defense, unintentional abuse, or false accusations. With our experience handling cases and our familiarity with the California Penal Code, we can advise you and help you reach the best possible outcome for your case. These charges can be detrimental to your future, but an experienced defense attorney can help minimize the consequences of domestic violence charges.
Because of the severity of domestic violence charges, it is important to begin preparing your defense quickly. If you are in Costa Mesa or the surrounding area, we can help you with your case. Contact our office today a free initial consultation. Our attorneys can help you make sense of the charges being brought against you, and we can advise you on potential next steps. Don't let these charges ruin your future—seek legal consultation today.


The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers for a new Working Group that will conduct a Policy Development Process (PDP) to Review All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs). The GNSO Council approved the PDP Working Group's Charter [PDF, 510 KB] on 9 March 2016.
The Working Group will monitor the progress of and, where appropriate, coordinate with, other ICANN groups that are working on topics that may overlap with or otherwise provide useful input to this PDP. These other efforts include the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team, the Trademark Clearinghouse Independent Review and the GNSO's PDP Working Group on New gTLDs Subsequent Procedures. In this regard, the GNSO Council directed that a GNSO community liaison be appointed by the two GNSO PDP Working Groups. Further, as the manager of the policy development process, the GNSO Council is to be kept informed about the various coordination efforts so that in case of conflict between these groups, the Council may take the appropriate action to align the different work processes.
ICANN Working Groups use transparent, open processes. The meetings of this PDP Working Group will be recorded and transcribed, and the recordings and transcriptions will be available to the public. The mailing list for the Working Group will be archived publicly. The group will collaborate using a public workspace for draft materials and all final work products and milestones will be documented on the WG's wiki. The PDP WG is expected to follow the GNSO Working Group Guidelines [PDF, 350 KB] as well as the GNSO PDP Manual [PDF, 300 KB].
Mailing list observers – for those who are merely interested in monitoring the Working Group's deliberations, it is possible to sign up as a mailing list "observer" which offers read-only access to the mailing list. Mailing list observers will not be permitted to post, will not receive invitations to the meetings of the Working Group and will not have to complete a Statement of Interest. At any point in time, a mailing list observer can join the WG as a member simply by informing the GNSO Secretariat.
All members and observers will be listed on the PDP Working Group's wiki page.
The GNSO Council directed that this call for volunteers be circulated as widely as possible in order to ensure broad representation and participation in the Working Group. it is anticipated that the Working Group will convene online for the first time in early April 2016. Following that, regular online meetings will be scheduled in accordance with the Working Group's work plan, which it is expected to develop as one of its first tasks.
More information can be found on the activities webpage for GNSO PDP Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs and the Working Group's online wiki workspace, which includes the charter, community input provided during the public comment period, and an extensive library of foundational materials to inform the Working Group's deliberations.


Most of my life I've been afraid of cows. Really afraid. I was working on the Illumination Series and saw a cow whose belly was lit just right by the sun. It seemed to glow from the inside out. I logged it away as a possible image for the series. (I ultimately opted for a swan). Then one day while traveling in Arizona we came face to face with Texas Longhorn cattle. What an incredible animal with those impossibly long horns. And they have become a constant figure in my studio. I am still afraid of cows but I do appreciate their lumbering beauty and the engineering feat to hold those long horns.

Home News Hun Sen, as Journalism Professor, Wines and Dines the Media
Prime Minister Hun Sen talks with Prum Say, right, a local newspaper publisher, on Saturday evening at the Sokha hotel in Phnom Penh, in a photograph posted to Mr. Hun Sen's Facebook page.
Hun Sen, as Journalism Professor, Wines and Dines the Media
Kuch Naren and Colin Meyn
It was clear before Prime Minister Hun Sen took the stage on Saturday that his inaugural meeting with local journalists in Phnom Penh was not going to be a confrontational affair.
The crowd of hundreds of journalists and government officials—notably left off the list were U.S.-funded radio broadcasters and foreign-based media outlets—clapped in unison as he entered Sokha hotel's main ballroom to a soundtrack of traditional music being played by a band in the back.
Any hope that the dinner—with wine flowing once Mr. Hun Sen arrived, a multi-course meal and music from pop stars following his speech—might give journalists a rare opportunity to ask the prime minister questions was quickly dashed.
"Today, I would like to clarify that this is not a press conference, and it is not for the celebration of my 32 years as prime minister," Mr. Hun Sen said as he began an hourlong speech telling journalists and the government officials they deal with how to do their jobs.
"Now I need to talk to media outlets; do not be angry with me," he said, explaining that honest talk had proven key to keeping power. "That is the reason I could be in the position of prime minister for 32 years, and [opponents] don't try to play the game to topple me, and don't even try about the color revolution," he said, noting that protests against the government had subsided significantly of late.
"And now it seems very quiet about the color revolution. Where are they now? Why don't they come out to say that a lot of people die? Why has it been so quiet?" he said. (Local rights group Licadho places the current number of political prisoners, including activists and opposition officials, at 26.)
Returning to his lecture on the media, he asked himself what made an outlet the smartest. "It's the media that is accurate and fast," he said, in what would become a refrain during the speech.
Other bits of advice to media outlets were to have a web presence, run corrections when mistakes are made, to not take bribes for burying news involving the rich and powerful, to not extort illegal loggers or set up illegal road checkpoints, and to not go beyond the role of being a "mirror" for society.
Some journalists, the prime minister said, "act as politicians by giving recommendations that this party should do this or that party should not do that. It's not your role—your role is to give the truth. The conclusion should be the readers'. Let them be the judge and make the conclusion. You are just the commentator, you are not an investigating judge or the presiding judge or even a prosecutor to press charges."
Mr. Hun Sen did not spare the Information Ministry, which organized the event, from criticism, mocking the ministry for not updating its own website since November.
"Before you clean the other's bottom, clean your bottom first," he joked, also telling ministries and local governments to make sure they were sharing updates about their work through their own websites and Facebook pages.
The prime minister said those left off the guest list this year need not despair, as the event would grow to some 4,000 journalists next year, perhaps requiring it to be held in a public park.
"Next year, I will invite the opposition newspapers to join, to show unity between professional journalists and unprofessional, even if we have different opinions," he said, though he sent a different message to journalists working for foreign outlets.
"Those who eat rice provided by foreigners keep eating rice provided by foreigners," he said, adding that foreign-funded newspapers in Cambodia were not upholding international standards in their own work and falsely applying it to his.
"Let me tell you something about international standards," he said, explaining that it only applied to sectors such as sports and food. "For political issues, do not talk about international standards."
Touching on U.S. politics repeatedly, Mr. Hun Sen bragged about his prescient support for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and suggested that the U.S. was behind efforts to delegitimize the outcome of Cambodia's national election in 2013.
"A few things that used to happen here are now happening in the U.S. demonstrations after election results. The accusation of vote manipulation is now also happening in the U.S.," he said. "What's happening in the U.S. today is proof that what the U.S. did in Cambodia is going back to the U.S."
Ouk Kimseng, spokesman for the Information Ministry, denied that there were any political reasons for leaving journalists from Radio Free Asia and Voice of America off the guest list.
"The number of people reached the limit already," he said, adding that other organizations that were not perceived as being anti-government did not get the invite, though he could not name any.
Mr. Kimseng said the U.S.-backed broadcasters would be invited next year, but was not sure about outlets based abroad.
"Actually, we need to sit down to discuss and get further recommendations from the government and prime minister to invite as many people as possible," he said.

As part of that effort, we established an internal definition of our brand, confirming Rotary as the organization that joins leaders from all continents, cultures, and occupations, who exchange ideas on solving some of the world's toughest problems, and then take action to bring lasting change to communities around the world. The next step in the brand strengthening initiative, we're introducing our latest global public image campaign: People of Action. This campaign brings the Rotary story to life in a way that narrows the gap between public awareness and understanding.
The People of Action campaign communicates the essence of Rotary and reflects our values, such as: 1. We build lifelong relationships. 2. We honor our commitments. 3. We connect diverse perspectives. 4. We apply our leadership and expertise to solve social issues.
It tells our story in our own voice, which is:
Smart — we are insightful and discerning.
Compassionate — we tackle community challenges with empathy and understanding.
Persevering — we find lasting solutions to systemic problems.
Inspiring — we encourage others to take action, conveying hope, enthusiasm, and passion.
As a Rotarian, you're also a brand ambassador. You can tell the story of Rotary and how we are people of action in communities worldwide. To spread this narrative in a clear, consistent, and compelling way, we developed People of Action campaign materials in the Brand Center: print, digital, and outdoor advertisements, as well as videos and other marketing resources. We want to ensure that all Rotarians can support our effort to enhance awareness and understanding of Rotary.
Our story hasn't changed. But how we share it with the world is vital to our future. Through a unified Rotary image and a clear, compelling voice, we are enhancing our legacy as one of the most respected organizations in the world.
5 steps to telling your People of Action story
The People of Action public image campaign helps you bring the Rotary story to life by showing Rotarians as the people of action we are. Telling our People of Action stories in a meaningful, coordinated way builds the public's understanding of who we are and what we do. It highlights the impact we make in our communities and around the world. Here are five steps to creating your own People of Action story:
USE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN PEOPLE OF ACTION STORY
1 WHAT WERE YOU OR YOUR CLUB TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?
What was the problem or challenge in your community that your club wanted to help solve? Describe how your club members identified the problem. Did you have national or global statistics that showed the importance of addressing this issue?
2 WHO IS YOUR STORY'S AUDIENCE?
Beyond Rotary members, who were you trying to reach? What did they know about Rotary? What did they think and feel about us? What do we want them to think and feel?
3 HOW DID YOU OR YOUR CLUB TAKE ACTION?
Describe how you gathered resources and used the expertise of Rotarians or community members to tackle the challenge. What obstacles did your club face as you worked on the project? What action phrase best represents the action you took? (Together, We Connect? We Transform? Inspire? End Polio?)
4 WHAT WAS YOUR IMPACT, AND WHAT EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THIS?
What were the outcomes of your project? How many people did the project affect? What are some relevant statistics? (Be careful not to use too many numbers.) What changes did the project produce? How did the project touch the lives of people in your community?
5 WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR AUDIENCE TO DO NOW?
The key to any good ad is your call to action. Do you want your audience to learn more, support your cause, or perhaps join you at an event?
Once you've created your People of Action story, use it to promote Rotary in your community and be sure to email sue@goldsen.com to have your items included in the District newsletter and web site!.
The People of Action campaign is all about showing and telling the public who Rotary really is – a group of people that unites for good and actually roll up their sleeves and do meaningful projects that help their communities.

Rotary Story guidelines 547Aen Ad's for all media use, guidelines, samples and more can be found in the brand center at the Rotary.org website.
Make your own people of Action ads go to the brand center Rotary Brand Center – Rotary International
Getting Started/Why Is This So Important?
Rotary is the world's premier international humanitarian service organization and should be promoted as such. When people are aware of the outstanding humanitarian accomplishments of Rotary clubs and districts, they respect the organization for its contributions to the community, and become more interested in becoming a part of it.
Every Rotary club should develop and execute a successful public relations plan to make their community aware of their club and the organization. Clubs are encourage to provide a positive public image for itself in the community and for Rotary in the world.
Gather your thoughts, organize them, and then speak from the Heart. When you speak from the heart about great things that you have done in Rotary, about projects you have done, you inspire others to want to get involved.
Don't keep these great experiences a secret, help spread the word and tell your Rotary Story!

From kindergarten on up, every teacher preached the importance of Reading, Writing, and 'Rithmetic. Those lessons are key to success in life, for sure. But when it comes to commercial real estate and construction, we could all benefit from remembering these "3 R's": Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle.
So how does that baseline become evident in today's market? Holton Brinson is a broker at Jordan Trotter Commercial Real Estate. He says building materials, high-efficiency mechanical systems, and smaller building footprints are just a few examples of how businesses are going green. "The days of the massive executive corner office are over," Brinson says. "Cubicles, community work tables, and small offices are taking their place." Even restaurant kitchens are shrinking without compromising food quality and seating space for customers.
People used to think good design meant having to sacrifice sustainability. Now the two go hand in hand. Dickinson says really great designs make the public more aware and the space more valuable, but other green initiatives aren't easily noticed by the public. Jordan Trotter developed the Dollar General at the corner of Joy and Wheeler Roads in Augusta. It incorporates a vestibule on the front of the store that goes unnoticed by most busy customers. The vestibule contributes significantly towards maintaining comfortable temperatures in the store despite the doors opening hundreds of times per day. This investment reduces the stress on the energy efficient mechanical systems and lowers the overall energy requirements for the store.
When it comes to some of the most popular sustainable design options, the sky really is the limit. Daylight harvesting is among the most popular choices. "This involves a lighting control system that has sensors that control artificial light levels in response to natural lighting," Dickinson says. "As natural light conditions change, the system dims or brightens the artificial light to maintain desirable light levels." It can also help the business owner maintain desirable power bills. The more sun that shines in your office, the lower your energy costs. You may pay more up front for sustainable design concepts but you will reap the rewards in the long run.
If you're looking for another key reason to go green, consider this: Uncle Sam is a big fan of sustainability. Dickinson says companies that renovate or build can get substantial tax incentives if the construction meets the minimum "green" standards for the interior lighting, HVAC and building envelope, which help offset the initial capital costs.
Dickinson says when it comes to going green, there are different paths that offer varying results. He says it can be fairly simple for someone who just wants to practice sensible design and construction. You meet the baseline requirements and then decide the aspects that are important to you. If you want to use the project's sustainable status for marketing purposes, there are ratings systems such as LEED. This includes measurable levels of implementation that can be awarded to a project. When you achieve those levels the project can be advertised as LEED certified.
Maximizing goals while minimizing space. Efficiency over expansiveness. Going green by letting a little sunshine in. When it comes to the strengths of sustainability the list is limitless. So, when it comes to your company's next step don't be afraid to incorporate some of these practices in your plans. Your employees, your customers, and even your budgets will appreciate it!

Social determinants, race, and brain health outcomes: Findings from the chicago health and aging project
Neelum T. Aggarwal, Susan A. Everson-Rose, Denis A. Evans
The broad spectrum of economic and cultural diversity in the U.S. population correlates with and affects the study of behavioral aspects of health. The purpose of this article is to provide a selective overview of research findings from the Chicago Health and Aging Project (CHAP), which covers a socio-demographically diverse population in Chicago, with a focus on role-related psychosocial factors and observed racial/ethnic differences in aging outcomes. CHAP is a longitudinal, epidemiological study of common chronic conditions of aging with an emphasis on medical, psychosocial, and environmental risk factors for the decline in cognitive function across the older adult lifespan. We briefly summarize the study design and methods used in the CHAP study and characterize the study population and describe the psychosocial data, noting black-white associations as they relate to three common brain health outcomes: cognitive function and Alzheimer's Disease, stroke, and subclinical vascular disease as noted on neuroimaging.

Paul -- you are right, DON'T try this. Don't even start. Although based on the techniques you already use to stay focused, it would be right up your alley. So here are 3 consecutive nights of OCD fails (Plummy, avert your eyes now) in the name of experimentation. Went for time on the Dec 9 and 11 rows, Dec 10 was a distance row. Based on what the PM was displaying during the row, splits appeared more stable on the distance row, but not true -- so I agree with your analysis Paul that it's much harder to succeed. So now my question is: can I optimize my chances by picking an optimal pace/500m? My target tonight on the Dec 11 row was 2:18.2; however, at the bottom of the first 13:00 split, I saw it flash from 2:18.2 to 2:18.1 at the last moment, so I knew I had to target that split for the remainder. I'd have to have stayed closer to the 2:18.2 however, to have avoided the two 2:18.0's. It also appears the 2:20 pace was a better choice for getting the # of meters consistent.
Valiant efforts - it must be said.
Did 5k as warmup before strength training. Funny thing, this "game".
Awesome David. That makes me want to go do an OCD row. Until I look at that little 8:40.0 and it reminds me I actually want to do no such thing. Nice work.
Grrrr- went for a steady one last night after my SB hour on Tuesday so OCD seemed the way to go. Nailed the SPM, nailed the split but still missed the time -grrrr.
Congratulations plummy. =D> =D> =D> That's seriously demented!
Thanks guys. I've always liked the mental (maybe in more ways than one) side of rowing i.e. the aspect of overcoming the mental battles as well as the physical. I quite enjoy long OCD rows as they make the time less tedious when low heart rate and recovery are the orders of the day and concentrating on the pacing has to be pretty absolute.

An audit has uncovered lax security controls and practices at Victorian councils for their CCTV networks, including the use of shared passwords and unpatched equipment.
Five councils - City of Melbourne, Whitehorse City Council, Hume City Council, East Gippsland Shire Council and Horsham Rural City Council - were audited, covering "more than 1100 CCTV cameras".
Victoria's Auditor-General found them in various states but mostly in need of a crash-course in security.
The audit looked both at "corporate CCTV" systems - put on council assets - and public safety CCTV systems, which provided feeds to Victoria Police.
"Key areas to address include improving physical security and access controls for corporate CCTV systems and regularly assessing whether those controls are working," it said.
"All of the audited councils use generic user logins for corporate CCTV systems, and some do not use system activity logs to track usage.
The audit also found that none of the councils regularly patched either the cameras or the recorders running in the backend.
Some had gone years without applying patches to equipment, which significantly raised the risk of exploitation by attackers.

Altor divests its shares in TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company ASA
Altor Fund IV ("Altor") has, following the close of trading at the Oslo Stock Exchange yesterday, divested its entire shareholding in TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company ASA ("TGS") through an accelerated book building process.
The transaction marks the exit of Altor's contrarian investment in Spectrum ASA ("Spectrum") at year-end 2014 based on the investment thesis that the company could accelerate its strategic agenda during the downcycle in the oil service sector.
Altor has worked actively with Spectrum through the cycle on several strategic and operational initiatives. "Spectrum has invested aggressively through the cycle at record low data acquisition costs, which has positioned the company to capitalize on the counter-cyclical investments in the years to come. Further on, Spectrum has over the last years established a strong strategic position in the South Atlantic, which uniquely positioned the company for a strategic merger with TGS" says Pål Stampe, Partner at Altor and former Chairman of the Board at Spectrum.
The transaction was announced over the Oslo Stock Exchange on November 27th 2019
Tor Krusell, Head of Communications at Altor, Tel: +46 70 543 87 47
Pål Stampe, Partner at Altor, Tel: +47 97 69 89 23
Since inception, the family of Altor funds has raised some EUR 8.3 billion in total commitments. The funds have invested in excess of EUR 4.2 billion in more than 60 companies. The investments have been made in medium sized, predominantely Nordic companies, with the aim to create value through growth initiatives and operational improvements. Among current and past investments are AGR Group, Helly Hansen, Lindorff, SATS, Rossignol Group, Carnegie Investment Bank, S-Banken, Nordic Trustee and Navico.

Indonesia's recovery from COVID-19: Look beyond 2021

Many will let out a sigh of relief as 2020 comes to a close. To the optimists, the start of vaccine disbursement offers tangible evidence that the world is finally turning a corner. But, for the pessimists, little will change on the first of January.
In the days leading up to 2021, new cases of COVID-19 are expanding at a near-record pace globally. Large swathes of Europe will remain confined well into the new year by some of the strictest lockdowns implemented since the start of the pandemic. Meanwhile, in the case of Indonesia, large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) in Jakarta were recently extended into 2021 in response to the elevated pace of new infections.
But what about vaccines? The Indonesian government deserves credit for proactively seeking to procure vaccines from multiple sources, but the challenge of inoculating a critical share of the Indonesian population spread out across a vast archipelago should not be underestimated. Even under the most optimistic scenario, the distribution of vaccines will not be complete well into 2022, limiting the scope of the economic recovery in the short term.
Consumers will likely remain cautious given the high share of active COVID-19 cases in major cities, not to mention the fact households have lost substantial income over the last nine months, only partly offset by the government's fiscal stimulus. Indonesia's economy may underperform regional peers in 2021.
Despite the near-term challenges, we can present the case to be far more optimistic over a multi-year horizon. In fact, we believe Indonesia can outperform the region thanks to three key developments likely to take place over the next few years: the government's return to an infrastructure-heavy model of investment, an acceleration in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows thanks to the 'omnibus' reform, and a vast existing pipeline of projects pertaining to the country's nickel supply chain. Based on this, GDP growth should rebound to 4.9 percent in 2021 and 5.4 percent in 2022 – making Indonesia one of the few countries where we expect faster growth in 2022 than 2021.
Let's start with infrastructure development. This is one of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's hallmark policy initiatives and has proven to be an area where the government can quickly ramp up spending to propel growth. Many projects were delayed or postponed in 2020, in particular the government's plans for a string of refineries to reduce Indonesia's dependence on imported refined oil.
Moreover, there is a vast pipeline of toll-road, airport and energy-generation projects that can be fast-tracked when conditions allow. The government's 2021 infrastructure spending allocation is near a record high, and both domestic state-owned enterprises and foreign investors appear keen to move forward with priority projects. The country's new sovereign wealth fund will provide yet another channel for infrastructure financing.
Then there is the FDI story. The merits of the government's recently passed Job Creation Law have been widely debated. While there is some uncertainty about many of the specific provisions as we await full details on how the regulations will be implemented, we nonetheless believe the law can greatly improve the ease of doing business and lower labor costs in Indonesia, two notable impediments to FDI. In particular, the effort to reduce the prevalence of overlapping regulations at the central and local levels should substantially facilitate foreign investment inflows and allow for an acceleration of the long pipeline of projects.
In fact, we calculate that there is a pipeline of at least US$35 billion worth of projects related to the nickel supply chain consisting of additional smelters, steel plants, electric vehicle (EV) battery plants and EV assembly plants – the majority of which is foreign investment. The omnibus law should help accelerate these investments – though the government will need to finalize a coherent strategy for the development of the domestic EV industry.
We believe there is also scope for Indonesia to attract FDI inflows in more traditional manufacturing industries, such as electronics assembly and textile manufacturing; however, given subdued business conditions globally, investments in these areas would take time to materialize.
In short, while the Indonesian economy is set to emerge from the crisis in 2021, growth will remain subdued by regional standards. COVID-19 continues to spread at an accelerated pace in Indonesia, and widespread inoculation remains a distant prospect. But, at the same time, the medium-term outlook is supported by the government's recent move to accelerate reform momentum, a robust pipeline of possible FDI projects, and policymakers' strong track record on infrastructure. These factors should allow Indonesia to see a sustained recovery beyond 2021.
To ensure the recovery can last, it is imperative that recent reform momentum is sustained. This entails not only fresh reforms to improve Indonesia's competitiveness, but also steps to preserve Indonesia's strengths. A parliamentary proposal from earlier in the year to curtail the central bank's independence sent shivers down the spines of investors who have long appreciated the sound policies of Bank Indonesia (BI).
Fortunately, the government opposed the proposal, but the episode confirmed the policy risk that emerging market investors have come to fear.
Indonesia's recovery from the crisis will depend on stable inflows of foreign investment. Safeguarding the strength and independence of key institutions such as BI remains more important than ever, especially as the central bank contemplates an exit from unconventional policies. If this can be achieved, coupled with accelerating other structural reforms, there is little in the way of Indonesia regaining its place as one of the world's most promising growth stories.

Under the Building Act 2004 people who take part in building work have certain responsibilities.
Some of these responsibilities are highlighted under sections 14A–14F of the Act to ensure that if you take part in building work, you are responsible for your part of the project.
There are sections for different parties – from owners, designers, builders, through to building consent authorities. This article takes a brief look at builders' responsibilities.
to ensure that any building work not covered by a building consent still complies with the Building Code.
This means that if you're doing building work, you need to make sure that it complies with any consent requirements such as inspections, natural hazards or resource management conditions. You need to follow the consented plans and specifications, and have them amended or varied if you need to deviate from them.
As always, if you're undertaking exempt building work, it needs to comply with the Building Code. This is made clear in section 17 of the Act, which states that "all building work must comply with the Building Code".
While the owner (or someone they contract to act as their agent) is responsible for obtaining a building consent before starting building work (covered in section 14B for owners), LBPs can be disciplined for carrying out work where a building consent was required but not obtained.
they are licensed to carry out or supervise the RBW they are undertaking.
Section 14E clearly states overarching builder responsibilities in one place. In addition, for LBPs, the grounds for discipline are set out in section 317, and other sections of the Act also state that you need to be licensed to carry out or supervise RBW.
If you, as an LBP, don't follow the responsibilities set out in section 14E or the other requirements of the Act, you could be disciplined by the Building Practitioners Board or you could even be committing an offence that could lead to prosecution.
You can read more about exempt building work in previous issues of Codewords.
1) Who is responsible for obtaining a building consent?
a. Any licensed building practitioner working on a new build.
b. It's the local council's job to make sure you get one.
c. The home owner needs to obtain one before starting building work.
d. All building work is exempt building work as long as it complies with the Building Code.
2) Who can carry out restricted building work?
a. Licensed building practitioners and owner-builders who are working under an owner-builder exemption.
b. Anyone who works as a builder.
3) As a builder, where does it say that I have to build in accordance with the Building Code?
a. The Licensed Building Practitioners Rules 2007.
b. In a few sections of the Building Act 2004, including section 14E.
c. Section 88 of the Building Act 2004.
d. Only in section 17 of the Building Act 2004.

This US market LeCoultre is an early Memovox alarm watch, which was labelled Wrist alarm for the American customers.
From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1955.
The Memovox was launched in 1951 at the Basel watch fair and two patents had been applied for. One for for the two piece dial, and the other is less obvious but helps the key alarm function, and that is the lugs deliberately are short to raise the watch off the wrist just a little, and this improves how the alarm feels. This example was cased in the USA, as stated on the inside of the case back, and this was the norm to avoid paying high import duty for complete watches. Jaeger-LeCoultre watches in the US were just badged LeCoultre, and the US was the only market that had the words WRIST ALARM rather than Memovox on the dial. The case is 10K gold filled, save for the stainless steel case back. The dial is original but the inner disc does have a stain near 3. The blue alarm numbers are a nice touch. The hands have radium lume, and must be among the last to use radium – the dangers of radium were now well known, and it had pretty much been replaced by 1955. The calibre 814 manual wind movement is running very well, and the alarm is loud and proud – please see the video for a demonstration. The watch strap is a new ostrich leather item, and the acrylic crystal does have a small scratch between 12 and 1 that we will try and improve.
Included with this watch is a 6 month guarantee and free delivery to UK addresses. If you live outside the UK we can still deliver to most countries via DHL Worldwide, which we subsidise. Please see our Worldwide Shipping information.

Posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 by President Barack Obama.
Member of the famed 'Go for Broke' 442nd Combat Regiment during World War II. The regiment was made up of Nisei, or second generation Japanese-American citizens, some of whom had volunteered out of internment camps. By the end of the war he had received the Purple Heart with cluster, the Bronze Star, the Distinguished Service Cross, and 12 other citations. In 2000, his Distinguished Service Cross was upgraded to a Congressional Medal of Honor.
U.S. senator from Hawaii, 3 January 1963 - 17 December 2012; died in office.
First US Congressional representative from Hawaii, 21 August 1959 - 3 January 1963. Elected to the US Senate in 1962.
Medal of Honor Citation: Second Lieutenant Daniel K. Inouye distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 21 April 1945, in the vicinity of San Terenzo, Italy. While attacking a defended ridge guarding an important road junction, Second Lieutenant Inouye skillfully directed his platoon through a hail of automatic weapon and small arms fire, in a swift enveloping movement that resulted in the capture of an artillery and mortar post and brought his men to within 40 yards of the hostile force. Emplaced in bunkers and rock formations, the enemy halted the advance with crossfire from three machine guns. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Second Lieutenant Inouye crawled up the treacherous slope to within five yards of the nearest machine gun and hurled two grenades, destroying the emplacement. Before the enemy could retaliate, he stood up and neutralized a second machine gun nest. Although wounded by a sniper's bullet, he continued to engage other hostile positions at close range until an exploding grenade shattered his right arm. Despite the intense pain, he refused evacuation and continued to direct his platoon until enemy resistance was broken and his men were again deployed in defensive positions. In the attack, 25 enemy soldiers were killed and eight others captured. By his gallant, aggressive tactics and by his indomitable leadership, Second Lieutenant Inouye enabled his platoon to advance through formidable resistance, and was instrumental in the capture of the ridge. Second Lieutenant Inouye's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.
Daniel Inouye was born on September 7, 1924 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA as Daniel Ken Inouye. He was married to Irene Hirano and Margaret Shinobu Awamura.

Derelict shops and other commercial units could be converted into homes and apartments without needing planning permission under proposals in the Government's plan to revitalise rural Ireland.
The so-called "Action Plan for Rural Ireland", supported by a €60 million investment and which will be set out today in Ballymahon, Co Longford, by Taoiseach Enda Kenny, will contain measures aimed at rejuvenating rural areas of the State, including towns, villages and regional cities.
One of its aims is to "make rural Ireland a better place in which to live and work by revitalising our town and village centres". The plan is targetting the creation of 135,000 jobs in rural areas, according to Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works Sean Canney.
One such initiative is a review of planning law to allow for the refurbishment of vacant commercial properties, such as shops and premises that could be above ground floor retail units, without having to apply for planning permission.
It is understood the move will not just be confined to rural areas, because such a change would have to apply nationwide.
There will also be proposals to reduce one-off housing by increasing the number of "small housing schemes in towns and villages".
The plan will be announced by Mr Kenny, Minister for Arts, Heritage and Rural Development Heather Humphreys and Minister for Communications Denis Naughten.
The move to allow the commercial units be changed into residential properties will require changes to planning and development regulations and a spokeswoman for Ms Humphreys said it was Government's intention to "progress" this in the coming months.
"This action will be overseen by the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government as part of the suite of measures which will be progressed to attract people back into main streets and town centres," the spokeswoman said.
The Department of Housing will also be responsible for encouraging the development of small housing schemes in rural towns and villages.
The exact details of how this will be done have not been finalised, but the department will work with county councils to "identify potential projects and initiatives to encourage opportunities for new private sector housing provision within smaller towns and villages , tilising vacant/infill and backlands-type sites".
The plan is structured around five themes: supporting sustainable communities; supporting enterprise and employment; maximising rural tourism and recreation potential; fostering culture and creativity in rural communities; and improving rural infrastructure and connectivity.
It also aims to improve employment opportunities for young people in rural areas, with an emphasis on increasing apprenticeships and trainee schemes.
The Government has already set a target of having 50,000 people in apprenticeships by 2020 and wants over 100 apprenticeship schemes in place.
The rural plan also wants Solas, the national training agency, to work with Education Training Boards to increase the number of options for those leaving secondary school.


At Kaleidoscope, children's safety and well-being are our top priorities. We match children and youth with temporary foster families and permanent adoptive families who provide the stable, loving homes they need to succeed.
Kaleidoscope's foster care program is specifically designed to serve children and youth who require more intensive services as a result of specialized mental health, behavioral, medical or pregnancy/parenting needs. DCFS trusts Kaleidoscope with these high-need children because of our track record of excellence in matching kids with the right families and the right care.
When DCFS determines that a child is unsafe in their biological family's home, they refer the child to us. We establish a specialized care team of our social workers, family workers and medical personnel to identify the child's needs and connect them with a highly-trained foster family who provides therapeutic support from the start.
Our teams make regular visits to the foster home and are available around the clock. We offer Intensive Placement Stabilization Services, monitor the child's progress through ongoing case management, manage referrals to any outside services and provide ongoing training and support to the foster family. Together, we ensure the child's safety and offer the support, patience and guidance kids need.
Whenever possible, we work to reunite the child with their biological family. We collaborate with DCFS as they help parents successfully resolve the issues that led to the child's removal from their home and ensure the child will be safe and well cared for.
In addition to serving youth with specialized needs, Kaleidoscope's foster care teams work with adolescent parents who require out-of-home placement. Young parents in this program have the opportunity to learn effective parenting skills and accept responsibility for themselves and their children, while in the care of a foster family home. These foster parents have special training to care for both the adolescent parent and their child and to model good parenting that our teens can replicate.
If a child cannot be safely returned to their biological family's home, Kaleidoscope's expert teams find an adoptive home or another permanent placement that will provide the safety and stability that children need.
There is always a need for more foster parents in Chicago. Kaleidoscope offers training, guidance and support for prospective foster parents as they go through the application process and seek their licenses. View upcoming foster parent orientation dates.
Due to the varying needs of Kaleidoscope's children and youth, we provide specialized, ongoing training for our licensed foster parents. By equipping foster families to best care for the children and teens we serve, we ensure that foster youth get the care that they need and minimize the need for placements with multiple foster families. Learn more about becoming a foster parent.
In FY16, we provided 113 children with safe, loving foster homes.
In FY16, 86 percent of our youth lived with a single, nurturing foster family, avoiding the trauma of moving from home to home.
In FY16, 10 of our youth achieved permanency through adoption or guardianship.
We are always in need of new foster parents to provide safe, caring, long-term homes for the children and youth we serve. Learn more about becoming a foster parent.
For additional information on Foster Care & Adoption Programs, email us.
We are always in need of more foster parents to provide safe, loving homes. Join us for an upcoming foster parent orientation to learn more.

Sri Lanka's new chapter of cricketing incomprehensible
25dAndrew Fidel Fernando
Hussey: Malinga just keeps enhancing his already wonderful reputation (1:25)
Michael Hussey praises Lasith Malinga for his four-wicket haul that helped Sri Lanka trump England (1:25)
Andrew Fidel Fernando
If you're looking to make sense of Sri Lanka's victory over England, turn back. This is not the place. You've come to the wrong part of town.
Thank you Pakistan for your contributions to the Canon of the Cricketing Incomprehensible. You haven't been usurped exactly. You could be, soon. But take a knee for now, because in the first six months of 2019, Sri Lanka have been in more chaos, blown through more captains, endured more infighting, had a more paranoid coach, suffered more humiliating defeats, complained about more team buses, complained about more hotels, sucked harder at Test cricket, sucked harder at one-day cricket, and yet produced a Test series upset for the ages in South Africa, and now delivered the most surprising result of the World Cup.
Under very few circumstances does a team ranked ninth beat the top-ranked ODI behemoth on the planet. Under fewer circumstances does a team that has won three times as many ODIs as it has lost since 2017, go down to a side that has lost three times as many as they have won in the same period. Even if you didn't quite follow that sentence, even if you haven't quite followed this Sri Lanka team's vomit-worthy ODI form over the past two years, just know that this is pretty much an inexplicable result.
Watch on Hotstar (India only): Highlights of Sri Lanka's win over England
Against a side that broke six-hitting records versus Afghanistan, Sri Lanka stumbled like drunks to 232 for 9, at no stage appearing as if they were in control of their bodily movements, let alone the innings or the run rate. Then, they called on an ageing fast bowler for inspiration, relied on a spectacularly unqualified captain, and brought down the home-team tournament favourites.
In some ways it's no surprise that Malinga - whose weight has often been the hottest issue in Sri Lankan cricket over the past few years - remains the best player in the team. Some worry about what will happen to Sri Lanka when Malinga finally decides to call it quits. Wherever will they find another match winner like this, they wonder. But this fear is misplaced, because if there is one thing we know about Sri Lanka is that from Duleep Mendis, to Arjuna Ranatunga, to Aravinda de Silva, to late-period Muttiah Muralitharan, and more recently Rangana Herath, the island's cricket is happiest when under the tyranny of a mid-30s chubster. When Malinga goes, surely someone else will step up, as they always seem to do.
Even now, Angelo Mathews appears to be preparing wholestomachedly for this responsibility. Thisara Perera is another challenger.
Dhananjaya de Silva celebrates with Kusal Perera after dismissing Adil Rashid Getty Images
Of skinnier stock, but almost as important to this victory as Malinga and Mathews, was Dhananjaya de Silva, whose current incarnation is as pure a product of Sri Lanka's cricketing chaos as there could ever be. As recently as December, Dhananjaya was Sri Lanka's Test match No. 3. In that position he averages 32.5 - not awful given the consistent treachery of Sri Lankan pitches. Even in ODIs, Dhananjaya has often batted in the top order, but weirdly, in this World Cup, he has become Sri Lanka's premier spinner.
He had top-scored in a Test series whitewash over Australia once, but such are the roilings and upheavals of Sri Lankan cricket, that he comes in at No. 8 or 9 now, and has gone from one of the most promising batsmen on the planet, to being one of the most successful spinners at this World Cup, outstripping the likes of Imran Tahir, Adil Rashid, and Yuzvendra Chahal on bowling average.
Against England, he bowled a slower wide one to have Moeen Ali caught at long off - the wicket that prised open the door for Sri Lanka. Then he dismissed Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid in quick succession - the double strike that swung it wide open. He doesn't spin the ball. He doesn't make it dip. He barely ever drifts it. He looks at all times like he is ambling home from school towards homework he doesn't want to and perhaps never will do.
But then he plays for Sri Lanka: a team that looks listless all year, that rifles through all manner of captains until it by chance finds one that shines like a jewel, that makes heroes out of the old and pudgy, and confounds what seem like the most unconfoundable predictions.
At the South Africa Tests earlier this year, and now at Headingley, Sri Lanka have turned up in turmoil, and won against juggernaut opposition. Through all of this, never have they not looked sublimely helpless. Looks, though, like form, and confidence, and skill level, and experience, can apparently be profoundly deceiving.

Photos of Bremerhaven harbour, and its almost lost dry dock
The 1850 dry docks at Bremerhaven, photographed last week
The dry dock photo from Bremerhaven harbour above shows what can happen when these treasures of industrial archaeology fall into utter neglect. No doubt the folks of Appledore will take careful note, and perhaps these photos will also seem relevant to those interested in the future of Faversham Creek.
The shot was taken on a brief trip last week by regular contributor Hans-Christian Riecke of Nordhorn's Graf Ship Association. (By the way, we're going to be at Nordhorn's Canal Festival in a few weeks. If you're in the area, please stop by to say hello!)
Here's what Hans has to say:
'Last week I have been on a short trip to the port of Bremerhaven. It was founded in the 19th century, when the River Weser became so severely silted that the original port of Bremen could not be reached by seagoing vessels.
'Soon it became a thriving coastal town, with famous shipyards like Vulcan, Lloyd and Tecklenborg. Later it was the centre of German high sea fishing. But changing times claimed their toll and by 1995 nothing was left, the yards were bankrupt, the fishing industry was gone and unemployment was soaring.
'Now it has been developed somewhat, with the Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum (our national maritime museum), the Klimahaus (which is devoted to the subject of the world climate) and the Columbus Centre. It is also a great rallying point for traditional wooden boats and historic ships, as you can see from the photos [below].
'One shows the last working steam icebreakerWal, and in the background you can see as replica of a German-built replica hansekogge, the famous medieval trading vessel. Another is of a part of the port reserved for traditional boats. On the third you can see the remains of the old drydocks of 1850. It is not only in Appledore that they fall in decay.'

The Scottish Coastal Rowing Project's St Ayles skiff is launched in fine style
[ad name="intheboatshed-post"]
The St Ayles skiff slices the water; Dr Robert Prescott speaking at the launch; David Tod with Alec Jordan; proof that St Ayles skiff designer Iain Oughtred was present. All images used with Chris Perkins' permission
Last Saturday provided pretty well perfect conditions for the press launch of the Scottish Coastal Rowing Project's first St Ayles skiff, says Chris Perkins.
He has kindly written the following report, sent the photos above and provided the video links below. Many thanks Chris! It's particularly good to hear that the project seems to be snowballing in various locations around Scotland – and even abroad.
'Among the notables present at the press launch were Alec Jordan, whose original brainwave kicked the whole thing off and whose superb effort in the workshop over the past two months culminated in Saturday's event. Scottish Fisheries Museum trustee and chair of the Scottish Coastal Rowing Project David Tod introduced Dr Robert Prescott, chair of the Advisory Committee on National Historic Ships and vice president of the Scottish Fisheries Museum, who gave the project launch speech. It was great that Iain Oughtred was also able to attend the launch and try the boat out for himself after the formalities were over.
'The Forthsailoar weblog author Osbert Lancaster was also present along with naval architect Richard Pierce who has provided some very useful analysis on the prototype's performance. Boat Building Academy graduate and now professional builder Charlie Hussey also put in an appearance.
'My snaps suggest around 50 were at the speechifying. Having a goodly sized group including some who were very experienced trying the boat has helped fine-tune the design: the principal tweak will be to spread the thwarts to give more room for the oarsmen.
'This will also benefit the trim of the boat when coxed by an adult with a fuller figure!
'Representatives from some of the groups planning to build a St Ayles skiff were there including the Portobello Sailing and Kayaking Club, the North Berwick group and Anstruther RNLI. The ripples from this project keep expanding: apart from the prototype now on the water, the Scottish Fisheries Museum boat is now in build in the viewing gallery at the museum, and Ullapool 1, Portobello 1, and The North Berwick Rowing Club have placed orders. There is strong interest from Achiltibuie (Coigach), Anstruther RNLI, Glasgow Schools Pilot (Galgael), Herdecke, Port Seton, Portobello 2, Portsoy Faering Project 1 & 2, Tollcross Centre, Edinburgh and even Germany. The breaking news is that there is now strong interest in in building four boats in the Western Isles, but more likely and interest has been expressed by another Loch Broom group.
'Alec was tweaking the cutting files yesterday to expand the rooms and will then start cutting the kits already ordered.
'The boat had at least four different sets of crew so that means not less than 20 took the opportunity to try her out – though I may have missed another group because I couldn't resist inspecting the museum, very worthwhile for anybody visiting Anstruther. And, of course, I thought it was also getting dangerously close to Alec suggesting I have a turn at the oar!
'Cheers
'Chris'

I imagine many intheboatshed.net readers have been troubled by the condition of the passenger clipper City of Adelaide as she moulders on a hard at Ayr. The following communication from National Historic Ships director Martyn Heighton makes it clear that we now have an opportunity to make our point heard, and to make a difference. Martyn's email is below – please do what you can to put our message across.
'Heritage protection Bill – Latest News
You will be aware from our website and newsletters that the government will be considering a new bill in Parliament later this year which is designed to strengthen the protection of the UK's heritage assets. As things stand, historic vessels are not included in the bill going before Parliament. National Historic Ships has responded formally to these serious omissions, and has published our case on our website. I have also been in correspondence with Margaret Hodge, who until recently was the Minister with responsibility for Culture and have received the letter set out below from her before she left office. A copy of the Ministers letter is attached, which I urge you to read.
Although this letter contains some encouraging statements on the future of historic ships, there is still no proposal to bring these vital heritage assets into the provisions of the Bill. Our earlier response to the Draft Bill raised many valid issues which in the end focus on 3 key matters
1. The Bill does not recognise National Historic Ships, the Advisory Committee which governs it, or the National Register of Historic Vessels (NRHV). The Bill makes specific reference to the registers run by English Heritage and Cadw. It is crucial that the NRHV, for which National Historic Ships is accountable to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, is recognised in a similar way.
2. Historic Ships are exposed to loss by neglect and demolition, with recent high profile examples such as City of Adelaide and HMS Stalker. Thankfully the demolition of the City of Adelaide has been slowed down due to the fact that she is one of only 2 ships to enjoy protection as listed buildings. No such protection applies to HMS Stalker and we fear she will soon be nothing more than a memory. Something needs to be done to prevent the tragic loss of more of our significant historic ships. Where vessels in the National Historic Fleet (that is the Core Collection and Designated Vessels) are presented in a static form – either dry or afloat – they should be subject to similar protections as those applied to historic buildings. It is more complicated for those vessels which operate and move from port to port, but the Bill could at least recognise the issue and pave the way for further work.
3. The Small Grants scheme which we run has had positive impact far in excess of the amount of monies disbursed. We need to find ways to expand this scheme, especially for the Registered Vessels. The Draft Bill is concerned primarily with physical protection rather than funding. Nevertheless aspects of funding are referred to in the Bill and this needs to be recognised with regard to ships. Relatively small sums can be made to go a long way.
Robert Prescott, the Chair of National Historic Ships and I are in touch with Barbara Follett, the new Minister for Culture, Media and Tourism, and are asking for an early meeting so that we can set out our concerns and ambitions for historic ships in the UK. We need to know your views on all this, and are keen to hear from you. Please go onto our website – www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk, and click onto the heritage protection bill thumbnail, read our submission in full online, and let us know what you think by email julia.bray@nationalhistoricships.org.uk
We really do want to hear from you

Maurice Benard was born Mauricio Jose Morales in Martinez, California, to hard-working parents, Humberto, a baking superintendent, and Martha, a bank attendant. Of Salvadorian and Nicaraguan ethnicity, Benard grew up in the San Francisco area in a very diverse community.
After high school, Maurice took the non-traditional route in his job search. He participated in a lot of theater in the Bay area and modeled to pay the bills. When he was ready, Benard headed to New York in 1987 to audition for All My Children. He didn't get that particular role, but they hired him for another role, Nico Kelly.
His stint in Pine Valley ended in 1990, Maurice decided to take a chance in Los Angeles. He landed roles on television such as DEA, Her Wicked Ways and Stat, before scoring the pivotal, much-publicized role of Desi Arnaz in Lucy & Desi: Before the Laughter in 1991.
Benard followed that role with another widely publicized role in Ruby, a behind the scenes story about Jack Ruby with an all-star cast that included Danny Aiello, Arliss Howard, David Duchovny, Sherilyn Finn and Jeffrey Nordling. Maurice played the pivotal role of a Cuban exile named Diego, who was one of Ruby's contacts.
In 1993, Maurice booked the Emmy award-winning role of Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital, forever changing the canvas of Port Charles and the trajectory of Benard's life in the process.
Other credits include Dark Justice, Mi Vida Loca, To Face Her Past, Operation Splitsville, Restraining Order, Confession, Joy, Castle, The Ghost and the Whale and A Lover Betrayed, all while he juggled his day job as fan favorite mobster Corinthos.
When he is not on a set, Maurice enjoys a private life with his family, wife Paula, and four children, Cailey, Cassidy, Joshua and Heather, and their menagerie of exotic animals, in Temecula, California. Benard is also an outspoken activist on the diagnosis and treatment of Bipolar Disorder, something he has been struggling with since his early twenties.
Did some modeling work in his early twenties.
Auditioned for the soap All My Children in 1987; did not get the part he tried out for, but producers were so impressed they created the role of Nico Kelly for him.
Played Desi Arnaz in the 1991 TV-movie Lucy and Desi: Before the Laughter.
Diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was 22; in 2006, asked General Hospital producers to make his character also have bipolar disorder.
Is a spokesperson for the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance.
Enjoys boxing and is a fan of martial arts.
Is an animal lover and owns many pets, including cats, dogs, birds, chinchillas and rabbits.
Maurice Benard polished his acting skills while modeling and doing theater in San Francisco. His big break came when he signed on to play Nico Kelly on All My Children and his critically-acclaimed portrayal of Desi Arnaz in Lucy & Desi: Before the Laughter.
Bernard added memorable roles in Ruby, A Lover's Betrayal, Joy and The Ghost and the Whale.
Perhaps his greatest achievement was taking the role of street thug turned Mob Boss Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital in 1993 and giving layers and vulnerabilities that has made him a fan favorite and garnered him multiple Emmy nominations before taking home the statue in 2003.

Báró Gottfried von Banfield vagy Gottfried Freiherr von Banfield (Castelnuovo, 1890. február 6. – Trieszt, 1986. szeptember 23.) az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia 9 légi győzelmet elérő haditengerészeti pilótája az első világháborúban. Banfield volt a Katonai Mária Terézia-rend utolsó életben lévő kitüntetettje.

Élete

Származása
A Banfieldek normann eredetű család volt, akik a 16. századtól Írországban éltek. A 19. században Thomas Banfield brit katonatiszt Bajorországban egy osztrák nőt vett feleségül és Bécsbe költözött. Részt vett a krími háborúban és Szevasztopol bevétele után halt meg. Fia, Richard Banfield 1836-ban született Bécsben, felvette az osztrák állampolgárságot és tengerésztisztként szolgált az osztrák haditengerészetnél. Tegethoff admirális zászlóshajóján részt vett az 1866-os lissai csatában.

Gottfried Richard Banfield fiaként született 1890. február 6-án, apja akkori állomáshelyén, a Cattarói-öböl partján fekvő Castelnuovóban. A Sankt Pölten-i katonai középiskolában tanult, majd elvégezte a fiumei haditengerészeti akadémiát.

Katonai szolgálata
1909. július 1-én került kadétként a haditengerészethez. 1912. május 1-én fregatthadnaggyá léptették elő. A repülésért lelkesedő és ismert aviátor bátyja hatására egy hónappal később jelentkezett az akkor formálódó tengerészeti légierőhöz és mindössze négy hét alatt elvégezte a bécsújhelyi pilótaképző tanfolyamot. 1912 októberében Wenzel Wosecek sorhajóhadnaggyal együtt Párizsba küldték, hogy teszteljék a Donet cég repülőcsónakjait. A Szajnáról szálltak fel és egy elrontott start után Banfield átrepült az egyik híd alatt, amiről a francia sajtó is beszámolt. A sikeres tesztelés után a tengerészet két repülőcsónakot vásárolt. Miután hazatértek, Banfield a Póla melletti Santa Catarina szigetén létrehozott kísérleti repülőállomáson folytatta szolgálatát. 1913 februárjában elvégezte az akkor indított haditengerészeti-pilótai tanfolyamot (ő kapta a 4. számú igazolványt). Március 28-án Wosecekkel együtt a flottát meglátogató Ferenc Ferdinánd trónörökös jachtját indultak üdvözölni, de repülőcsónakjuk motorja elromlott és kényszerleszállást kellett végrehajtaniuk; eközben Banfield jobb lába olyan csúnyán összetört, hogy több mint egy évig tartott felépülése.

Az első világháborúban
A trónörökös 1914. június 28-i meggyilkolása után a háborús veszély miatt a flottát készültségbe helyezték, hogy vonuljon fel Montenegró tengerpartjánál. Banfieldet egy Lohner M repülőcsónakban az SMS Zrínyi csatahajóhoz rendelték. 1914 novemberétől Pólában tesztrepüléseket és pilótaképzést végzett. Miután Olaszország 1915. május 23-án belépett a háborúba, Banfieldet megbízták a trieszti flottatámaszpont repülőállomásának megszervezésével és 1916 februárjától vezetésével.

1915. június 27-én Heribert Strobl von Ravelsberg kadét társaságában Lohner gépükkel felderítést végeztek és egy megfigyelőballon lelövésével megszerezte első légi győzelmét. Másnap a szárazföldi csapatokat támogatva egy 50 kg-os bombával felrobbantottak egy lőszerraktárat és jelentésük szerint elsüllyesztettek egy ellenséges gőzhajót. 1915. szeptember 1-én egy háromórás felderítőút során összesen négy olasz repülőcsónak is rájuk támadt és Banfield állítása szerint ezekből kettőt lelőtt, de a légiharcoknak nem volt tanúja, így győzelmeit nem hitelesítették. 1916. április 7-én ismét két hidroplán megsemmisítését jelentette, de ezeket sem lehetett hitelesíteni.

1916. május 1-én előléptették sorhajóhadnaggyá. Május 21-én éjszaka bevetésből visszatérőben egy lezuhant repülőcsónak legénységét felvette és hazaszállította őket Triesztbe. Június 23-án a Trieszti-öböl fölött lelőtt egy francia FBA C repülőcsónakot, amelynek pilótája fogságba esett; a következő napon pedig egy Macchi L.I fölött aratott győzelmet. 1916. augusztus 1-én egy Fiume bombázásából hazatérő olasz kötelékből kényszerítette földre az utolsó Caproni Ca.1 gépet; eközben teljesen elfogyott benzinkészlete és a fiumei kikötő vizére szállt le. Augusztus 6-án újabb Capronit lőtt le a Trieszti-öböl fölött, augusztus 15-én pedig pedig két francia FBA H repülőcsónak került győzelemlistájára (utóbbiak közül az egyiket az olasz frontot segítő francia haditengerészeti repülők parancsnoka, Jean Roulier báró vezette).

Banfield szeptember 13-án egy Nieuport, egy hónap múlva egy Farman, október 30-án pedig egy Caproni kilövését jelentette, de ezeket a győzelmeit nem hitelesítették. 1916. december 3-án Godwin Brumowski főhadnagy és Karl Cislaghi szakaszvezető társaságában újabb Caproni C.1 bombázót kényszerített földre.

1917. január 1-én újévkor egy olasz Nieuport támadt rá és egy órán keresztül hiába próbálták egymást eltalálni. Végül egyszerre hagyták abba a harcot és indultak haza; Banfield csak ekkor vette észre a másik repülőgép oldalára festett fekete lovat és jött rá, hogy a legsikeresebb olasz pilótával, Francesco Baraccával harcolt. Banfield 1917. május 31-én, este fél tizenegykor aratta utolsó igazolt győzelmét egy azonosítatlan repülőcsónak lelövésével. Ez volt az osztrák-magyar légierő történetének első éjszakai győzelme. 1917 augusztus 4-én éjszaka és szeptemberben újabb négy sikert jelentett, de ezeket nem igazolták.

1918. május 16-án éjfél után két olasz motorcsónak hatolt be a trieszti kikötőbe. Banfieldnek sikerült kilőnie az egyik, fényszórók által megvilágított csónakot, de a másik géppuskájával ellőtte gépének kormányművét és eltörte Banfield bal sípcsontját. Még sikerült leszállnia, de utána eszméletét vesztette. Egy hónappal később azonban már újra szolgálatra jelentkezett. A háború során Gottfried von Banfield több mint 400 bevetést hajtott végre.

A háború után
A világháború után a Triesztet megszálló olaszok fogságába került. 1920-ban Angliába költözött és brit állampolgár lett. Itt ismerkedett össze Maria Tripcovich grófnővel, akit feleségül vett és Newcastle-upon-Tyne városában telepedtek le. Fia, Raffaello ismert zeneszerző lett. 1927-ben visszatért Triesztbe, felvette az olasz állampolgárságot és apósától átvette hajózási vállalatának irányítását. Idős korában Franciaország tiszteletbeli konzulja is volt a városban. 1986. szeptember 23-án halt meg, 96 évesen.

Beatrix Potter and the Lake District
Famous for writing the enchanting nursery tales about legendary characters such as: Peter Rabbit tm, Squirrel Nutkin and Jemima Puddleduck. As a child Beatrix Potter holidayed regularly in the Lake District and later moved to the area whereupon she bought Hilltop Farm, one of several historic homes in the area now owned by the National Trust and open to the public.
The Lake District and her love of animals were an inspiration to her throughout her life and were the influence behind her imaginative stories, watercolour drawings and sketches.
Beatrix Potter wrote most of her stories at Hilltop, some of which Hill Top is even the setting for, namely Tom Kitten and Samuel Whiskers. Upon her death in December 1943, Beatrix Potter bequeathed 4000 acres of land to the National Trust, including 14 farms, cottages and many local areas of beauty including Tarn Hows.
