On Sunday afternoon, the Serie A fixture schedule treats us to the first derby of the season in Italy. Roma play Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
During the last decade, the Derby della capitale has seen an increasing amount of violence off the field. In 2004, rumours that a young boy had been killed before the match led to riots and the game being abandoned. 170 people were injured in the violence and Roma were fined when it was later revealed that the rumours were false. A year later, in 2005, Roma fans threw a missile at match referee Gianluca Paparesta. Despite the missile drawing blood, Parapesta was determined to carry on with the game. Even as recently as last season there have been issues with crowd trouble in the derby, with the match stopped after fifteen minutes play due to flares and firecrackers being thrown onto the pitch. Once the game resumed the crowd was relatively well behaved though the lingering feeling that trouble could erupt at any moment remained in the air. As it always does. Though it has been renowned for its atmosphere the derby has produced some magical moments on the field as well, Aleksander Kolarov's mazy run and strike 2 seasons ago is just one of the great pieces of play we have seen in the derby over the years.
Contrary to the situation last season when they were struggling to get any points on the board, Lazio go into the game as the form side this time round. Lazio sit on top of Serie A by a clear 4 points and are unbeaten since their opening day defeat away to Sampdoria. Roma on the other hand have had a terrible start to the season and have only just started to turn things around. Luckily for Roma the table remains incredibly tight and they shouldn't have too much difficulty climbing back up towards the summit. They were, after all, able to beat Lazio home and away last season, although fans of Le Aquile were able to get their own back when they cheered Inter to victory against their own team in a game that helped decide where the title went.
Lazio's new signing Hernanes is the player that all Serie A fans have had their eye on this season, and will be the main focus of attention. The Brazilian moved from Sao Paolo in the summer following protracted negotiations between the two clubs. He has been instrumental in taking Lazio to the top of Serie A by providing a creative pivot high up the pitch behind the striker, rather than the deeper position in front of the back four from which he dictated play for Sao Paolo. Another addition to the staff at the Stadio Olimpico has come from Portugal. Olimpia is an eagle who has been serving as a mascot for Lazio.
Unveiled against Milan, the eagle flies three laps of the stadium before returning to its handler before every home game. Pundits were rolling out the metaphors when Olimpia refused to come down from the roof of the stadium before the home game with Cagliari, many were already asking if Lazio would ever come down from the heights they had achieved. Olimpia will be at the stadium on Sunday but sadly will not be flying due to concerns that the vociferous atmosphere together with the possibility of flares and other missiles will put the mascot at risk.
Roma have won their last 2 games against Lecce and Basel. Their last Serie A victory against Lecce came at the cost of their talismanic captain Francesco Totti, who was sent off for an off the ball incident with Olivera and will now miss the game. He was still able to try to impose his views on the game when interviewed after the victory in Basel on Wednesday evening and said of the derby, "I'll watch it at home because it'll be too painful to see it in the stadium, I'll support Roma all the same though". When asked who would emerge victorious, he quipped back "They [Lazio] will, Floccari will score a penalty". Perhaps a little reverse psychology at play there?
Roma may also be without David Pizzaro and Nicolas Burdisso, imperious in the victory against Lecce, is facing a race against time to get fit for Sunday's game. If he is absent we will see Philipe Mexes step into his place.
The atmosphere may not be as charged and hostile this season with the introduction of the new tessera (a form of ID required for away fans to buy tickets and enter stadiums) average attendances are down generally in protest. A number of Roma fans have also complained recently, that they won't be able to pay for seats anywhere but in the Curva if they are not pensioners, women or children; even if they have the means to do so. Hopefully such circumstances will not detract from the spectacle where Roma can attempt to continue their rise but Lazio must take a lead from their mascot, Olimpia, and keep their feet firmly on the ground.
To get fully into the spirit of things we think you should be wearing something like this or this.

Hurricane, Plus Oil Spill: It's Never Happened, and We Sure Don't Want It To
By Art Horn 2010-06-29T03:00:19
The Gulf oil spill is terrible, but it could become much, much worse and soon.
The threat comes in the form of a hurricane moving over the spill. If a hurricane's violent winds track over the oil slicks this season, we will witness a natural and economic calamity that history has never recorded anywhere or anytime. We will literally be in oil-soaked uncharted waters, suffering the first ever "oilicane."
A Category One hurricane -- the scale ranks them from one to five -- has maximum sustained winds of 74 to 95 miles per hour near the eye. A Category Five hurricane has maximum sustained winds of 156 to 200 miles per hour. The difference between the two storms is gigantic, and non-linear. A Category Five hurricane will cause 250 times more damage than a Category One. In other words, there are hurricanes, and then there are monster hurricanes.
Tropical Storm Alex could become a hurricane over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this week, however the wind currents in that region do not favor the storm coming anywhere near the oil spill. The more likely track is towards northern Mexico or southern Texas later this week.
Looking forward, the water temperature in the Atlantic Ocean is running as warm as the record setting season of 2005, and this is significant. Warmer water means more heat and humidity over the tropical ocean to fuel hurricanes. Just as a car needs gasoline to fuel its engine, a hurricane needs hot, humid air. A hurricane is a gigantic atmospheric engine -- the warmer and more humid the air it breathes in, the faster its pistons pump and the stronger its winds become. And warmer water not only creates more hurricanes, it makes more intense ones.
The 2005 season produced a record 15 hurricanes.
Oil now continues to gush from the bottom of the Gulf, and some is washing up on shores. Presently, the good news is that most of the oil is confined to coastal areas. The bad news is what might happen if a moderate to large hurricane rides over the spill.
The winds of a hurricane are so strong that the normal interface between ocean and atmosphere disappears. The winds generate large waves, spray is blown off the top of the waves, and spray mixes with the air. After a short time, there is no real boundary between ocean and atmosphere -- they become one! If a large hurricane moves over the spill, this chaotic mixture will also contain oil. The oil will become airborne and travel with the hurricane.

We had you guys, for our Bachelor Party Strippers last week at my buddy's house in Minneapolis! It was amazing, the girls were here for about 5 hours, were gorgeous and a lot of fun! We have had AAA-Classic Dancers several times various Bachelor Party events… and it's always been excellent!
We plan on calling for employment of your Strippers for other Stripper Jobs! Great job John! Love the 145″ world's largest computer screen for picking out our strippers… great time!


I remember the day my wife and I got married and of course all of the hoopla leading up to that magical day. Figuring out where to register, finding that perfect china pattern and of course registering for all of those things that we did not need but that someone might choose to buy us. It was an exciting time for both of us planning out our lives together and selecting all of the stuff we thought we would need to ensure our happiness.
Now, looking back on the 15 years of marriage, I can count on one hand the number of times we've used our wedding china. Once when we had a special guest visiting from Hong Kong, once just to celebrate our anniversary, and 1-2 more times with her family. We always seemed to want to keep the china for that "special" day instead of making each day that one in a million. The wedding china was a symbol of how we should save it for that special celebration, dinner or event and not just use it for any ordinary day.
It seems that we often do this in animal rescue as well. We wait for that special day to host an animal adoption event or showcase a rescue animal or for that special milestone to thank one of our rescue relay transport volunteers. Like our wedding china, we hold our charity funds in our coffers waiting for that special event or that special animal that truly needs our help rather than celebrating each day for what it is. Why do we do this? Are we saving up for something to change? Isn't every animal we save an opportunity to celebrate?
To me every day in animal rescue is a special day because every day we are focused on saving animals. Whether it is by providing a rescue dog a safe place to call home as his temporary foster home or driving a leg of the journey of the rescue relay transport safely moving our furry friends to their final destination, we should celebrate each day because we are doing so much for the animals.
My goal is to find a reason to celebrate each and every day. I want to celebrate every day in my personal life, in my professional life and of course in my animal rescue life. I want to look for the reasons to find the positive because that is more of a challenge than looking for negatives. Negative thoughts, ideas and images are all around us. There is so much hate and so many reasons to get caught up in it rather than seeing life for what it is, a gift.
Look through the eyes of the animals that you are saving and smile broadly like they do when they look at you. Remember that life is to be celebrated. Each day of your life is a gift. Each person you encounter provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate kindness.
Love this! Needed it today! Life IS a gift!

1.08 Spotlight
Joya Berrow
Capturing the Ritual of the Rose Fields in Rural Bulgaria.
Brought to you by from Panasonic
By VICE Film School
Production process:
Part of Spotlight series
Joya Berrow is a documentary director and producer. Through her work, which has been featured on National Geographic, Nowness and VICE among other platforms, she seeks topics that will promote human welfare and contribute towards a greater consciousness to protect our environment. Led by the richness of the land, the sea and the sky, her subjects often lead her to remote places, as she unearths stories that serve to educate and cause us to reflect on the way we are choosing to live our lives.
Here, she talks us through the process of going on a last-minute shoot in Bulgaria to capture the rhythm and mythology of an early summer's rose harvest.
My latest film, Every True Person of Kalofer Without Freedom Can't Live, is a stream-of-consciousness that transports you through the Rose Valley of Bulgaria, following the process and ritual of the rose harvest. Along the way, we encountered multiple characters and explored their symbiotic connections to the land – how they continue to find freedom and a way to survive from it.
I wasn't able to visit beforehand on a recce, so we just winged it and found characters along the way.
The harvest only happens once a year, for four to six weeks in May and June – the precise time depends on the climactic conditions in the valley. Three hours outside of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, there are two towns – Kalofer and Kazanlak – and anywhere between those two towns is the Rose Valley. There's a mountain range on either side of the valley, and the mountains keep it humid, protected from the wind and shaded, too, from the rising sun during the early morning. There are lots of different forces all working together to help create the harvest – however, each year is a total gamble, they're completely reliant on Mother Nature. This lends every part of the process a spiritual and otherworldly connection.
The rose is the symbol of the valley, it really defines the area. It does so much for the economy, whether that's in the production of the roses themselves, the oil that is distilled from them or through tourism. There aren't many places in the world like the Rose Valley and it's strange that it's not better known within Europe, as it's an incredible phenomenon. I first found out about it through my dad three years ago. I couldn't get out there immediately, but did some research and loved how much of a ritual the harvest is – it's not just one individual or company doing something on their own, it's about so many different people and elements coming together. This May, after speaking to one of the local distilleries for the second year in a row, they told me the harvest had started. I couldn't bear to miss it, so I decided with the production company BRAVÒ that I would be going. They were excited to support it and I went out there with Lucy Jane, the Director of Photography, and Lily Colfox, Creative Consultant. The film was executive produced by Ivan Olita from BRAVÒ. Everyone pulled together; it was super last-minute.
There isn't much online about the harvest – no film, just photos – and I wasn't able to visit beforehand on a recce, so we just winged it and found characters along the way. Back in London, I'd looked on Google Maps, found Kalofer and thought it looked like a great place to start. When we arrived, I got a few pointers from the Airbnb guy and then we just drove around, speaking to everyone in a bid to understand the process and weigh up who'd be good to include in the film. A lot of the time, we'd aim to visit anywhere that had a distillery. The way you'd figure that out was to visit a village and literally just sniff the air. The smell of roses is so strong from those places; they distil tons of them. That was pretty magical, to be able to find your locations by smelling the air.
If a film is too claustrophobic, you can lose all the sense of curiosity and the space you need to reflect on the themes of the narrative.
While filming, we spent a lot of time with the rose pickers, who work every day in the valley from around 4AM until about 10AM – as soon as the sun gets too hot, the essential oils in the roses start to evaporate, and the whole aim is to get the most oil you can from every single bud. What interests me most is that there aren't many traditional practices that haven't been totally industrialised, with machines doing the jobs of humans. Rose picking is something that only skilled people can do, with determination and a desire to be out in the field so early in the morning. Many of the pickers are women and the whole process and atmosphere is quite feminine; in the moonlight, in the morning, you can smell the roses and everyone's weaving along the line, chattering to each other.
There was a language barrier to a certain extent. However, one morning we found a woman up in the rose fields and as we were chatting to her we realised we all spoke Spanish. We went back to her time and again, she had this amazing little scene of women she'd introduce us to. Eventually, we went to the National Park Centre, as we really needed a translator and fixer in the second week. They set us up with a wonderful local woman named Victoria, and she helped us a lot.
We used small cameras, and would never immediately begin filming, we spent days getting to know some of our characters.
I didn't want the film to be too linear, more of an overview of the whole process. It became an exploration, a journey – going with the flow just kind of connected it all into something that felt immersive, mystical and spiritual. If a film is too claustrophobic, you can lose all the sense of curiosity and the space you need to reflect on the themes of the narrative. It was important too that there were only three of us – any more and we would've lost a lot of intimacy. We used small cameras, and would never immediately begin filming. We spent days getting to know some of our characters, hanging out with them in the rose fields, going out for food together, so that there was a relationship there before we started filming. You don't always have the possibility to do that, and with other characters we had to act more immediately, but I prefer to get to know someone very well off-camera first – I would advise anyone to take this approach wherever you can.

GTEC Holdings Releases 2019 Guidance
Evan Veryard
After having a chance to sit down and interview Founder and CEO Norton Singhavon, GTEC Holdings [stock_market_widget type="inline" template="generic" color="default" assets="GTEC.V" markup="(TSX.V: {symbol} {currency_symbol}{price} ({change_pct}))" api="yf"] has been on our radar. Based in Kelowna, BC, they are a vertically integrated cannabis producer that's focused on growing "ultra-premium" indoor flower. They're currently building out their growing capacity (14,000 kg) and are looking to reach full stride by the end of 2019.
The main unknown that remained after the interview was what their execution plan looks like and how that would translate into profitability. Their most recent press release has helped clarify what the coming year looks like for GTEC Holdings.
Understanding GTEC's Ultra-Premium Cannabis Product
For their sales to date, GTEC has achieved an average selling price of $5.86 per gram to wholesale buyers with an estimated production cash cost of only $1.11 per gram. This is good for 81% gross margin.
GTEC's flagship medical brand, GreenTec, has been the number one selling product on CannMart for the year to date.
These margins put them significantly above some of the top Canadian producers. While they are operating at a much smaller scale, this is still a positive step for a developing company, especially if GTEC can maintain these margins as it scales.
Additionally, their claims of producing an "ultra-premium" product seem to hold some weight. Their flagship medical brand, GreenTec, has been the number one selling product on CannMart for the year to date. This early popularity suggests they may be successful at differentiating their product as "ultra-premium", a goal all producers, big and small, are hoping to achieve.
2019 – The Year of Execution
Based on existing relationships and the rollout of their own recreational brands, GTEC anticipates it will fully utilize 2019 production output, estimated at 2,500 kg. According to their estimates, this would be good for $12.5 million in revenue, or an average sale price of $5 per gram.
If they maintain similar gross margins of 80%, this would be good for $10 million in gross profit. However, as a company that has not yet reached full capacity, we don't expect to see this growth reflected in their bottom line.
While they have only recently started producing flower at scale, by the end of 2019 they expect to increase annual capacity to 14,000 kg from 4,000 kg — good for a 250% increase. That increase is driven by two new facilities coming online, in addition to the three they currently operate.
These new facilities have been funded by the proceeds of a $12.5 million financing. The financing, a private placement offering led by Sprott Capital, was offered at a price of $0.55 per unit. With this cash on hand, GTEC is fully funded to execute on their new production capacity and expects a full year of production for 2020. Based on current plans, there doesn't appear to be a concern for further dilution.
If they can protect their margins, even maintaining gross margins of 60% (a 25% reduction from their current levels), that would yield a gross profit of $42 million in 2020 for a $5 per gram sale price. This would be good for a 400% year-over-year increase in gross profit assuming they achieve their 2019 goals.
Looking Forward – The Investment Potential
After gaining a better understanding of GTEC's 2019/2020 operational plans, it's clear there are some potential positive catalysts to come in 2019.
While goals do not always translate into reality, the company has shown they are taking positive steps, with strong margins and early demand for their product. It's also clear they have a thorough, fully-funded plan and are focused on execution.
As GTEC progresses through 2019, investors should watch closely. If everything goes according to plan, GTEC will be a profitable operator before the year is out.

By Lucinda | Cornerstone news, Education and Schooling | No Comments
When 2021 started, I'm not sure we could have envisaged all that we have achieved. Cornerstone has never been sedentary in its approach to anything, and as a company we are comprised of interested, engaged and conscientious individuals, whose curiosity and fascination for many a subject means that we love what we do, and are always looking for ways to improve. With the expansion of our team, building out and implementation of – we like to think – some of the best tech in the industry, please do take the time to read a little more below… and learn about all that we have done in 2021!
Enhancing our tech…
The Cornerstone Experience!
CORNERSTONE's drive in tech this year has been nothing short of incredible in terms of results. We have poured hours of energy, enthusiasm, and expertise into building out tech solutions, that position the company as a leader in an otherwise pedestrian industry, when it comes to harnessing tech to deliver services. Consequently, these efforts have both galvanised our brand and defined our USP as a differentiator in a global marketplace ripe for change.
Our investments have led to the building out of the 'Cornerstone Assignee Experience', an interactive platform that underpins our services and the relationship we forge with our client's employees. It harnesses a structured approach with a high level of mapping that is impactful, catered to the individual, time sensitive and provides instantaneous communication through direct in-platform messaging. As we all continue to battle on through the Covid-19 pandemic, our platform could not have come at a better time. Not only have we been able to continue running our services, but we have in fact enhanced them by offering a superior experience for the assignee, making relocating, at a nervous time for all, still very much a reality for our clients and their employees alike.
Often the first point of contact, our online presence has always been intrinsic to how we introduce ourselves to our clients and individuals. Our extensive website, was no small task to imagine, design and build. Working closely with in-house programmers every inch of our website experience has been designed to create an engaging space, where we can inform, support, and then communicate through the many channels built out – from Live Chat, email, to booking a call with us! It is strategically aligned for SEO optimisation and therefore positions our company at the forefront of the industry on a global scale. Our website sets the tone for how we roll as a company. With an impressive user experience, the individual who lands on our site is transported smoothly and efficiently to the information they may need, or to someone who can support their needs, allowing them to engage with our services as soon as they wish!
Expanding our team…
As we built our technological offerings, so too did we begin to look at our best asset; our people. Having the best tech can only be truly leveraged when you have the best people alongside it. A mixture of technological solutions and human touch is what we believe to be a winning combination… so without further ado I introduce you to some of our new team members…
John Sammon
When I asked John, how he felt his first couple of months with us had gone, what he felt he could bring to the table and where he'd like to see us in 2022, well, he had the following to say…
'With over 20 years of experience within the Global Mobility, Immigration, Real Estate, and Expatriate Healthcare sectors, I took the decision to join Cornerstone London, an exciting forward-thinking company. This, in conjunction with my experience, seemed like a challenge I could not refuse. Only 2 months into my new role as Director of Business Development and Growth Partnership, and amongst a phase of transitional redirection – Cornerstone is an animal that never stops – I am looking forward to 2022, and leading a focused approach to growing our current client base, regionally, and globally. Excitingly, I also start 2022 working alongside our Senior Leadership team to implement new wins that we got over the line at the very end of this year, 2021! Here at Cornerstone, we are committed to an engaging and agile approach which encourages growth and collaboration, and I, for one, look forward to steering the 'business development ship' to new and exciting destinations in 2022 and beyond!
Tom Fleming
Tom joined our team in the summer as Client Services Manager, and has fast become a real part of the team. With nearly a decade's experience in the relocation business, working across RMCs and an Immigration firm; Tom's in-depth knowledge of the Industry, alongside a great ability to methodically implement change, and introduce new processes that drive efficiency, can only further improve Cornerstone's offering in the market place! Whether it be supporting existing clients; enhancing our supplier partner networks; working in collaboration on RFPs and new business; or coordinating and supporting our extensive operations team, Tom really is an asset we've come to appreciate in many more ways than one! When asked why he joined and where he'd like to see us in 2022, the man of few, but valuable words, replied:
'I joined Cornerstone because I wanted to help the company grow, I could see an opportunity where my contribution would have a direct impact on the business I am working for. I feel there is a lot of potential with the technology that's been built and with the people already involved. In 2022, I would really like to support the growth of the company by directly contributing to bringing in new clients, as well as expanding our services with current clients, either through supporting additional services, or excitingly expanding into new locations!'
The Operations Team
To prepare us for taking on new business, we've also expanded the ops team by bringing in four new members. Lee Watson and Libia Ibara bring with them a wealth of experience gleaned through working in relocation for a good number of years for some of the industry's top players. Both have worked with a diverse array of clients delivering a multitude of services across the board. Their knowledge, wisdom and passion for relocation will help to underpin the sturdy foundations upon which Cornerstone has already been built!
Of course, having a diverse team, we can't just focus on people who are well practiced in the art of relocation. We've also brought in Will Mellin, a newbie to the industry, but one with lots of applicable experience in customer service environments. His enthusiasm and new perspective on things will be invaluable in helping us to innovate and take in to account the viewpoint of somebody who hasn't worked in relocation before. After all, questioning and shaking up the status quo is what Cornerstone is all about.
Finally, Kaltra Imeralilai has just joined us as our Relocation Coordinator to support the operations of the team. Whilst she's also new to the business, and relocation as a whole, having been put through a crash course on how everything works, we know how much she has to offer Cornerstone. She speaks an array of languages and has practical experience of relocation, having moved from abroad to the UK herself. We're excited to have her on board!
Expansion into Ireland…
This year, we were very excited to finally announce the opening of the Cornerstone offices in Ireland. Like anything that is well made or executed, the office has continued to, grow and evolve every day. Pooling from both our ethos as a company and way of working, alongside a strong understanding of how Ireland operates commercially, culturally and personally, we've built services in Ireland that really are very compelling!
Working closely with the team locally and their insider knowledge, we have poured energy, passion and dedication into building out 'The Cornerstone Experience' for Ireland too. Rich in Ireland specific content that is continually updated and enhanced, alongside actionable tasks that allow the assignee to clearly navigate the relocation logistics, our platform is an essential tool for anybody relocating to Ireland!
As part of the CORNERSTONE Ireland operations, we also built out an 'in-house' Education Consultancy. With the on boarding of Grainne Convery, – an Ireland Education Consultant – we now offer extensive experience assisting families relocating from every corner of the world with finding the right education or childcare for their children. Education has always been highly valued in Ireland, with the Irish system offering varying options catering to different educational needs and wants. Having the right support to navigate these often complex waters, both to find the right fit for your child, and also to take advantage of the superb education on offer, is what Cornerstone's service is all about…
Grainne Convery
Working with Grainne has been a pleasure, she brings to the table a wealth of experience that has made her a household name within the educational sector of relocation into Ireland. She is, absolutely, one of the safest pair of hands to put the responsibility of your child's education in to, having been helping families relocating to Ireland to find school places for their children since 2012. Prior to joining Cornerstone in 2021, she was Ireland's education consultant for Bennett International, the US based Education Consultancy who offer services for both private clients, and corporations with relocating personnel worldwide.
During her career she has worked with many senior executives relocating to Ireland with their families to work at many of Dublin and Cork's top tech HQs, and within the financial services sector. Her vast experience, the consistent positive feedback, referrals, recommendations and returning clients, has awarded her the strong reputation she holds within the sector.
Finally to wrap up 2021, we would like to thank all of our trusted loyal clients, their fantastic and interesting employees we've had the pleasure of supporting. From everyone at Cornerstone, we wish you a happy, healthy, and restful holiday season. Furthermore, we wish you a prosperous, exciting, and again, obviously, happy 2022 too!

microTEC manufactures microstructures for fluid media with functional structures smaller than 100 μm. These are conventional flow cells or microfluidic structures in which capillary forces dominate the gravitational force. In microfluidics, the gravity can be neglected when transporting very small amounts of liquids. Active pumping mechanisms as often used for flow cells are unnecessary in this type of structures. Capillary forces ensure that the fluid can be moved, mixed, separated or otherwise processed.These structures are used in many areas of biotechnology, pharmaceutical research and development, medical technology, process engineering and sensor technology. The finished systems are often considered a "lab on a chip".


The area of expertise of the candidate will be considered, along with appropriate qualifications and/or professional positions.
The candidate should have relevant experience in teaching.
Erasmus+ enables students to study abroad more than once as Erasmus + students as long as the minimum duration for each activity (e.g. 3 months for studies) and a total maximum of 12 months per study cycle is respected. Applications of students who have already benefited from a mobility period in the same study cycle (under the LLP - Erasmus programme, Erasmus Mundus or Erasmus+) will have lower priority.
Students who follow integrated (long cycle) study programmes (such as Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Veterinary Medicine), can be mobile for up to 24 months during their studies.
Please note that the criteria are in line with the recommendations of the European Commission. Please follow the abovementioned criteria when ranking students' applications.

Der Flughafen Newark Liberty International (IATA: EWR, ICAO: KEWR, auch als Flughafen New York-Newark bezeichnet) ist ein internationaler Verkehrsflughafen im US-Bundesstaat New Jersey. Er liegt 17 Kilometer südwestlich von New York City zwischen Newark und Elizabeth und wird von der Port Authority of New York and New Jersey betrieben.

Der Flughafen fertigte im Jahr 2021 über 29 Millionen Passagiere ab und dient als drittgrößtes Drehkreuz für United Airlines und wichtiger Hub für FedEx. Er war zur Zeit seiner Gründung der größte Flughafen der USA und ist heute nach dem Flughafen John F. Kennedy International und vor dem Flughafen LaGuardia einer der drei wichtigsten Flughäfen im Großraum New York City.

Verkehrsanbindung
Newark verfügt über einen Flughafen-Bahnhof (Newark Liberty International Airport Train Station). Er liegt am Northeast Corridor und wird von NJ-Transit- und Amtrak-Zügen bedient.

Außerdem wird der Flughafen von zahlreichen Buslinien mit den umgebenden Städten verbunden.

AirTrain Newark

|}
Der AirTrain in Newark ist eine Flughafenbahn (Monorail), welche die drei Terminals, sämtliche Parkhäuser und den Flughafen-Bahnhof miteinander verbindet. Der AirTrain Newark ist drei Kilometer lang und wurde nach Fertigstellung des neuen Terminals C zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre in Dienst gestellt. Er wird genau wie der Flughafen Newark von der Port Authority of New York and New Jersey betrieben.

Der AirTrain Newark hält an den Stationen P1, P2 und P3, gefolgt von den Terminals A, B und C, P4 und der Newark Liberty International Airport Station.

Zwischen den Parkhäusern und den Terminals ist die Nutzung des AirTrain kostenlos. Fahrten vom oder zum Flughafenbahnhof kosten $ 5,50. Die Gebühr ist in den von Amtrak und NJ Transit ausgestellten Tickets schon enthalten.

Geschichte

Der Flughafen wurde am 1. Oktober 1928 als Newark Metropolitan Airport eröffnet und war der erste Flughafen in der Nähe von New York.

Bereits 1935 bekam der Flughafen das erste kommerzielle Flugzeugterminal der Welt. Newark war bis zur Eröffnung des zweiten New Yorker Flughafens LaGuardia im Jahr 1939 der verkehrsreichste Flughafen überhaupt. Zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurde Newark jedoch für den Passagierverkehr geschlossen und diente während des gesamten Krieges als logistischer Stützpunkt der US Army.

Im Jahr 1948 übernahm die "Port Authority of New York and New Jersey" den Flughafen; der Passagierverkehr wurde anschließend rasch wieder aufgenommen. Die Infrastruktur wurde unter anderem mit neuen Start- und Landebahnen und Hangars stark erweitert. Bis zur Eröffnung des Nord-Terminals 1953 gab es nur ein Hauptgebäude.

In den 1970er Jahren stieg der Flughafen langsam in die Kategorie "Internationaler Flughafen" auf. 1973 wurden die Terminals A und B errichtet, und der Flughafen nannte sich jetzt Newark International Airport.

In den 1980er Jahren entwickelte sich Newark noch schneller. Die ersten Atlantikflüge starteten 1984 von Newark nach London (geflogen von Virgin Atlantic Airways). Damit kam allmählich immer mehr Verkehr zum Flughafen. Continental Airlines baute in Newark in der Folge ein Drehkreuz seiner Flugverbindungen auf. Im Jahr 1987 wurde das Nordterminal abgerissen und 1988 das neue Terminal C eröffnet. Dort hat United Airlines, ehemals Continental Airlines, sein Hauptterminal; die meisten Flüge der Linie werden von hier bedient. Im Jahr 1996 wurde die neue Internationale Ankunftshalle im Terminal B eröffnet und die AirTrain Verbindungen zwischen den Terminals und den Parkhäusern aufgenommen. Im Jahr 2001 wurde die Monorail des Flughafens bis zum Northeast Corridor verlängert und in AirTrain Newark umbenannt.

Am 11. September 2001 startete eine Boeing 757 zum United-Airlines-Flug 93 von Newark aus, um nach San Francisco zu fliegen. Die Maschine wurde etwa eine Stunde nach dem Start von Terroristen gekidnappt und nahm nun Kurs auf Washington, D.C. Nach offiziellen Angaben versuchten die Passagiere, die Maschine wieder in ihre Gewalt zu bekommen, scheiterten jedoch, und das Flugzeug stürzte in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, auf einem Feld ab. In der Folge wurde 2002 der Zusatz "Liberty" in den Namen des Flughafens aufgenommen.
Siehe dazu: Terroranschläge am 11. September 2001.

Im Jahr 2003 wurde Newark mit Verbindungen nach Hongkong, Singapur und Neu-Delhi zum Flughafen mit den weitesten Non-Stop-Verbindungen geehrt.

2019 verlängerte die Stadt Newark den Pachtvertrag mit der Port Authority of New York and New Jersey bis zum Jahr 2075.

Flughafenanlagen

Der Newark Liberty International Airport erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von 820 Hektar.

Start- und Landebahnen
Der Newark Liberty International Airport verfügt über drei Start- und Landebahnen. Dabei verlaufen zwei Start- und Landebahnen parallel, während die dritte Start- und Landebahn als Querwindbahn angelegt ist. Die längste Start- und Landebahn trägt die Kennung 04L/22R und ist 3353 Meter lang. Die parallele Start- und Landebahn 04R/22L ist 3048 Meter lang. Die Querwindbahn 11/29 ist mit einer Länge von 2050 Metern die kürzeste Start- und Landebahn des Flughafens. Alle Start- und Landebahnen sind 46 Meter breit. Die Start- und Landebahnen 04R/22L und 11/29 haben einen Belag aus Asphalt, während er bei der Start- und Landebahn 04L/22R teilweise aus Asphalt und Beton besteht. Die parallelen Landebahnen sind mit Instrumentenlandesystemen ausgestattet. Zusätzlich verfügt der Flughafen über einen Hubschrauberlandeplatz.

Passagierterminals
In Newark gibt es heute drei Terminals mit insgesamt 102 Flugsteigen. Die Terminals sind mit den Buchstaben A, B, und C gekennzeichnet. Diese sind wiederum in drei Gruppen von Concourses aufgeteilt, bei Terminal A: A1, A2 und A3, bei Terminal B: B1, B2, B3 und so weiter. Da das Terminal A keine ausreichenden Kontrollen für die Einreise in die USA hat, wird es nur bei Inlandflügen und Flügen aus Kanada genutzt.

Terminal A
Der Bau des Terminal A begann im Oktober 1967 und wurde im August 1973 eröffnet. Es soll durch das Terminal One ersetzt werden, dessen Eröffnung für 2022 geplant ist. Das Terminal A wird von Air Canada, American Airlines, Jetblue Airways und United Express genutzt.

Terminal B
Im Januar 1996 eröffnete ein internationaler Ankunftsbereich in Terminal B. Terminal B wird von Aer Lingus, Air China, Air India, Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, El Al, Elite Airways, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, French Bee, Icelandair, Jetblue, La Compagnie, LOT, Lufthansa, Porter Airlines, SAS Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Swiss, TAP Air Portugal und Turkish Airlines genutzt, zusätzlich werden in dem Terminal einige internationale Ankünfte von United Airlines abgefertigt.

Terminal C
Das Terminal C wurde 1988 als Drehkreuz von Continental Airlines eröffnet. Eine umfangreiche Erweiterung wurde von Continental Airlines im Dezember 2001 abgeschlossen. Das Terminal C wird heute ausschließlich von United Airlines und United Express genutzt. In dem Terminal werden ebenfalls internationale Ankünfte von United Airlines abgefertigt.

Frachtterminals
Die Frachtfluggesellschaften FedEx und UPS Airlines verfügen über eigene Frachtterminals im südlichen Teil des Newark Liberty International Airport. Die restlichen Fluggesellschaften nutzen vor allem Frachtterminals im Norden des Flughafengeländes.

Sonstige Einrichtungen
Die Federal Aviation Administration betreibt einen 99 Meter hohen Kontrollturm, dieser wurde 2003 eröffnet.

Fluggesellschaften und Ziele

Der Newark Liberty International Airport dient United Airlines als Drehkreuz. Daneben wird er von 28 weiteren Fluggesellschaften angeflogen.

Im deutschsprachigen Raum werden Berlin, Frankfurt, München, Wien und Zürich angeflogen.

Zwischenfälle
 Am 11. Februar 1952 stürzte eine Douglas DC-6 der US-amerikanischen National Airlines (Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen N90891) nach dem Start vom Flughafen Newark in ein Wohnhaus in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Von den 63 Insassen starben 29, außerdem 4 Bewohner des Hauses. Ursachen waren eine selbsttätige Verstellung des Propellers Nummer 3 auf Umkehrschub, gefolgt vom fehlerhaften Abstellen des funktionierenden Triebwerks Nummer 4. Damit konnte die Höhe nicht gehalten werden; die Maschine stürzte in die Stadt.

 Am 22. Januar 1953 stürzte eine Convair CV-240 der US-amerikanischen American Airlines (N94229) im Landeanflug auf den Flughafen Newark 5,5 Kilometer südöstlich des Flughafens auf die Stadt. Alle 23 Menschen an Bord starben, ebenso 7 Personen am Boden.

 Am 2. November 1963 wurde eine Martin 2-0-2 der US-amerikanischen Allegheny Airlines (N177A) beim Rollen auf dem Flughafen Newark irreparabel beschädigt. Es gab keine Personenschäden.

 Am 18. April 1979 verlor ein Sikorsky S-61L der New York Airwys (N618PA) kurz nach dem Start vom Newark Liberty International Airport ein Blatt des Heckrotors. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt befand sich der Hubschrauber in einer Höhe von 1.200 Fuß (etwa 365 Meter). Die Piloten leiteten aufgrund der Unwucht einen Notsinkflug ein und entschieden, nach Newark zurückzukehren. Infolge der durch die Unwucht verursachten Vibrationen löste sich der Heckrotor in einer Flughöhe von 150 Fuß (etwa 45 Meter) vollständig vom Rumpf. Der Hubschrauber kippte daraufhin über die Nase ab und ging in einen steilen Sturzflug über. Beim Aufprall kamen drei Passagiere ums Leben, zehn weitere Fluggäste und drei Besatzungsmitglieder wurden schwer verletzt (siehe auch New-York-Airways-Flug 972 (1979)).

 Am 5. November 1993 wurde eine Mitarbeiterin des Bodenpersonals auf dem Newark International Airport getötet, als sie in ein laufendes Propellerblatt einer Regionalmaschine des Typs Fairchild SA-227C Metro III der US-amerikanischen Northwest Airlink lief, die gerade für einen Abflug nach Boston abgefertigt wurde (siehe auch Northwest-Airlink-Flug 3724).

100% cotton women's button-down blouse, comfortable clothing, eco-friendly, made in Guatemala. Three-quarter dolman, ragland sleeve.
Casual clothing at its best, the double-layered top-stitched design adds warmth and stylish texture. The Margarita Blouse with its three-quarter length dolman sleeves gives you plenty of room to move as it is GENEROUSLY CUT, and it can be nicely layered with the Picante or July blouse.
I LOVE this blouse!!! It is perfect for layering. The different textures give it a finished look.
I own several of the Margarita Blouses and love them, Summer or Winter I layer the Margarita Blouse and the Long Sleeved Harmony Blouse with other things in the Winter.Thank you for the beautiful clothes – they are beautiful and elegant!


Well-child visits are a great time for parents to gather information from doctors to help their children remain healthy and injury free. Pediatricians review safety measures, administer vaccines, and discuss ongoing medical information. But sometimes the information comes fast and furious, and parents don't remember the details. Or maybe they fail to ask questions, due to time limitations or distractions (such as a restless toddler or crying baby).
And for some, with limited access to health care, these visits and conversations don't happen at all.
So where can parents and caregivers turn to get expert, validated health information for their children?
You can fill this important information gap in your library with a resource that's available to patrons any time, anywhere, on nearly any device. Gale Encyclopedia of Children's Health: Infancy through Adolescence, an eBook available on the award-winning GVRL platform, is a comprehensive guide and unique source of information on children's health, covering health issues for ages birth through 18. With more than 800 entries and 335 images and illustrations, this versatile resource provides in-depth coverage of common and rare diseases and medical conditions, immunizations and drugs, procedures, and developmental issues relating to children.
Best of all, entries are carefully written to be easily understood by parents of all reading levels and free from medical jargon. Yet, unlike many websites, all content has been reviewed and approved by an advisory board of medical doctors and professionals. This encyclopedia strikes the right balance between authoritative and approachable.
You can start providing valid, understandable information that will support the health of children in your community today. Ask us for more information or request a free trial today.

PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/ANN) - Interior Minister Sar Kheng on Thursday took aim at some politicians and media outlets for using the terms "Phnom Penh regime" and "Hun Sen regime" instead of the official title "Royal Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia".
He accused them of attempting to make the government seem illegitimate and of being condescending to the 83 per cent of Cambodian citizens who voted.
He was speaking to more than 200 development partners and NGOs at the second meeting to discuss a partnership between the government and civil society groups, held at the Ministry of Interior.
"Today we have the Royal Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia, which is a royal government resulting from an election."
"Our regime is a constitutional monarchy, so the current government is named the Royal Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia, but some people do not use the words "Royal Government".
Sar Kheng also said that people who use the term "Phnom Penh regime" must think about the will of more than 83 per cent of Cambodian citizens who turned out to vote.
If the people did not value [the government], he said, they would not have turned out to cast their votes.
He said the election in July last year saw no violence and went smoothly and, although some European countries and the US claim there are issues in Cambodia, they congratulated Prime Minister Hun Sen on leading the government's sixth mandate and . . . now Cambodia has been working together with those countries.
"The use of this term is strong – 'Phnom Penh Regime'. They are democrats, free people, but when they use this phrase, it means they seem not to respect the will of the Cambodian people, so it is against the agreement [between the government and the people].
"[When] I speak like this, I do not want to ask them to stop. This is my freedom but I just speak from my little understanding," Sar Kheng said.
History lecturer Sambo Manara said the use of such words was only a comment on the development and evolution of the political leadership of any country they don't like, and the word has been used in the past, as with "Pol Pot regime" and "Washington regime", "Tokyo regime" or "Beijing regime".
"People who mention the word regime are only trying to refer to an interim period of any government in each era, so it is no problem and history also has this word."
Government spokesman Phay Siphan said on Thursday that in his understanding, those who have been using this word include some NGOs and analysts, Sam Rainsy and opposition groups, and Radio Free Asia.
Royal Academy of Cambodia president Sok Touch also criticised journalists and politicians who used the word. He said they are unprofessional journalists and politicians who are ill-intentioned – with political reasons for seeking popularity – and the use of this word goes against Cambodia's laws.
"Those who are politically biased or those who use such language to attract people who dislike or oppose, to gain support – it is politically motivated."

Pros and Cons of Cork Flooring

Cork flooring: a green flooring material
Types of cork flooring
Cons of cork flooring
Benefits of cork flooring
Some might think cork floors are a relatively recent trend, but there was a time, decades ago, when cork was thought to be the next "it" material in home design. Revered architect Frank Lloyd Wright used cork flooring, and you'll still find original cork floors in California's beautiful mid-century bungalows. In fact, cork has been used for nearly 5,000 years, for everything from fishing buoys to even insulation in ancient times. But modern cork flooring has been used for well over a century now, and with today's engineering methods in the mix, the disadvantages of cork flooring are few.
For truly green friendly floors, the best options are cork and bamboo, but the difference between bamboo and cork is the cork tree survives the harvest, making it a renewable resource. In fact, removing the bark every decade or so keeps cork trees healthy. Cork is the bark of the cork oak (Quercus Suber), which grows in Southwestern Europe and Northwestern Africa. But Portugal is the steward of cork, with nearly 30 percent of its forests being cork trees, comprising nearly half the world's cork oaks.
Cork is huge in Portugal's gross domestic product, and is the foundation of their natural ecosystem, sustaining over 200 species. That's why cork tree harvesters train for eight years and are Europe's highest-paid agriculturalists: their skills are so critical to the health and life of the tree.
Cork oak trees live for around 200 years, and once the tree hits 25 years old, its bark can be harvested maybe 20 times, once every nine to 12 years with the first harvest being the least valuable due to irregularities. The trees are so protected that even motor vehicles are regulated nearby, making the harvest work all done on hands and feet.
Cork oak trees get a helping hand elsewhere, too – from one of Portugal's top five exports, their prized pigs. Pig herders walk their herds through the cork tree forests, where they graze on the cork oak's fallen acorns for their protein. As they meander, they digest the nuts and pass the nuts back to the forest through the pig's droppings, reseeding and fertilizing the forest at once.
The acorn fat makes the pigs among the world's best pork, known on the Spanish side as "jamon Iberico," one of the world's most expensive pork products, selling for around $125 per pound. In Portugal, pork and cork are a winning pair, working together to keep their ecosystem healthy and forever renewed.
Cork today can be engineered into cork planks or stay relatively similar to its natural state, in rolls. Why cork fell out of favor as a flooring choice for a few decades was because of the extensive waxing and sealing process required to protect the floor. As other types of flooring became easier to install, the finishing process to cork made it less desirable. Today, the manufacturing process and science have simplified the process somewhat, making cork flooring more popular again.
Cork products are typically found in parquet-style cork tiles and in cork planks, which are similar to laminate and engineered wood.
The list of disadvantages is short with cork flooring, with perks being many. Among the reasons you could be resistant to cork would be price. It's more costly, but like any good hardwood flooring product, it can often be refinished after a couple decades.
It also has a history of being vulnerable to high traffic, scratching and scuffs because it's made with millions of air pockets that make it more vulnerable to walking and scraping from heavy furniture and pets' claws. Some companies now make anti-scratch cork flooring, which help alleviate those concerns, but those millions of air pockets are going nowhere, so its innate vulnerabilities remain.
Like most wood flooring, cork flooring is not ideal in excessively humid locales, as humidity causes it to expand and contract, so a relatively constant 50 percent humidity is desired. Installing 100 percent cork flooring in kitchens and bathrooms means having proper underlayment, but diligent maintenance is needed to keep the floors looking great.
The softer nature of cork flooring has many appeals, but when resale value can be affected by a decline in appearance, it's less optimal for heavy traffic, large dogs with unclipped nails or particularly rambunctious kids. Recent engineering advancements make these concerns less relevant, so dig into each product's warranty and investigate manufacturer-suggested uses and expected longevity.
When considering cork flooring's pros and cons, the pros are surprisingly robust and make the product a terrific choice for many homeowners.
Acoustics: Those millions of tiny air pockets are part of why cork is so great for acoustics. If you're forever frustrated by the echo in a room, or the way sound carries in your home, cork flooring might be the solution you've craved. It's so effective at sound tempering that sound studios have been known to use cork not only on floors, but also as wall paneling and wall interiors.
Insulating: NASA used cork flooring in its heat shield for the Mars Rover, so you know it's science-certified for its temperature-regulating qualities. If you're the sort of person who feels that shiver right down to the bone when stepping on a cold floor in January, then only carpet beats cork flooring for its warmth. But cork has thermal R-value (1/4-inch cork tile is R-0.28; 1/2-inch is R-1.18). This is R-value is less relevant for already-insulated floors, but in some climates, every bit helps – plus, it's always cozier than wood or tile during a cold winter.
Durable: Right, after just saying it's less optimal for heavy traffic? Well, yes, because its appearance can handle a little of that foot traffic. While dropping something on cork flooring could dent it, it's also less likely than tile, wood and vinyl to suffer that kind of damage because the floor has a little protective bounce to it.
Softer: That natural give with all the minuscule tiny air pockets means cork flooring is the softest of non-carpet or vinyl flooring options. It makes it slightly kinder on the body when walking all day and can be a preferred flooring for people with bone and joint issues. If you suffer achey feet after a day of chores around the house, cork floors are a popular choice that softens the strain while still providing firm support.
Natural defenses: Cork may be vulnerable to expansion in excessive humidity or wet spots, but it has antimicrobial properties and is naturally resistant to mildew and mold. And it's the only flooring that doesn't attract dust, all of which makes it fantastic for those with allergies. It's also a fire inhibitor, so it'll slow the combustibility a bit.
Attractive for resale: Once cork is in a home, people tend to love it. It's a great investment flooring because it adds to a home's resale values. Part of that is down to how easy it is to repair sections of the floor (so always buy extra product), and its ability to be sanded and refinished to extend the surface life. In California, many homes still have their 1950's cork floors going strong, because it's that durable when well-cared for and maintained.

Q: Can/Should Spring AOP be used with Microservices & Spring Boot? We are analyzing different concepts for one of my projects. We decided to use Spring Boot & Microservices architecture.
After further discussions, we came to a query whether we CAN/SHOULD use Spring AOP to resolve cross cutting concerns of various microservices?
If not how can we address common concerns of microservices like logging, transaction mgmt, etc?
I have googled this topic extensively (even went to 5 pages for same search), but no luck. Any help appreciated.

A: Use Spring interceptors.  They have interceptors and factories for just about anything.  Lets you add instrumentation and common code to all aspects.
UPDATE:  samples interceptors and factories.
ClientHttpRequestInterceptor
FilterRegistrationBean
SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory
ChannelInterceptor

A: I don't think that there is anything to worry about using AOP. This is how Spring does things usually under the hood.
I'd just be careful with logging method invocations, especially parameters which is the common use (abuse) of AOP.
Ususally the less code you write the better. If you can use standard, proven way of doing things - use it.

Access to justice requires law firms to reinvent themselves, say Hodge Jones & Allen
Posted on: 5th November 2014
Firm says it hopes it can be a "beacon of best practice" to others as it lays out plans for aggressive growth.
The changes in the legal market, particularly the ability of ordinary people to access justice, means law firms have to reinvent themselves, says Patrick Allen, senior partner of Hodge Jones & Allen (HJA).
The firm, best known for helping ordinary people deal with extraordinary events for almost four decades, says that the past two years has created a perfect storm for firms like HJA with the Jackson reforms, slashing of legal aid, introduction of fixed costs, costs budgeting and new rules on proportionality meaning it had to rethink the way it did business.
"Just because you do vital work, it does not give you an automatic right to exist. It was clear to us that business as usual was not an option – we had to change, be innovative and reinvent ourselves," explains Patrick Allen.
Mr Allen was outlining the firm's Continuous Innovation Programme, which is ensuring it can continue to deliver on its core aim of "using the law to improve people's lives". The programme, introduced two years ago, has seen the firm take a bottom-up review of its structure, its management, the type of work it undertakes, the way it recovers fees, the processes it employs and the support fee-earners need.
In doing so it has drawn from the experience of a plethora of sectors and installed a new management board. As well as the partners in charge of the firm's five legal directorates, the management team features four operational heads: former WPP director, Jonathan Francis (Strategy and Commercial Director); former head of HR for the Olympic Village, Diane Poulter (HR Manager); Alan Geaney (Operations Director) who brings wide ranging experience from a number of professional service environments; and Barry Coombes (Finance Director) who has spent over 30 years working in health and leisure in the UK and US.
This decision, along with many other innovations, is expected to enable the firm to increase its £14m turnover by a third over the next two to three years, with profits expected to double.
"There were no sacred cows. We challenged everything and we continue to do so. Everyone in the business has had to respond to the agenda of innovation. We have innovated on big issues, such as governance, introducing a board of directors with clear roles, responsibilities and decision-making powers, to make the firm fleeter of foot and more responsive to the volatile business environment.
"We have also innovated on the smaller things, recognising that small changes can add up to make a big difference, from rationalising and reviewing precedents, to relationship management initiatives, to the establishment of a new Legal Help Centre for the take-on of clients. Change is hard and we were aware of the pressures this has put our staff under, so we have simultaneously introduced new staff assessment and feedback procedures to ensure we can understand and respond to their needs. This has included adopting the London Living Wage," explains Patrick.
The firm also places a great deal of importance on technology; it was one of the first in the profession to embrace technology, buying its first computer in 1981 (with a grand total of 10MB of memory). Today, the firm is 70% of the way towards being paperless and expects to have eliminated the need for paper within the next two years. Patrick Allen has also been a member of a working group to improve the use of technology for court users and is looking to see how IT can help to make arbitration schemes attractive as an alternative to the court system in personal injury cases.
Since its creation, HJA has been at the forefront of some of the UK's most renowned legal cases, particularly in criminal law, medical negligence, housing, civil liberties and human rights. Significant work includes acting for Neville Lawrence, the father of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, in various and ongoing actions against the police; securing compensation for the Bridgewater Four, successfully arguing to the Supreme Court that found British Troops remain within the UK's jurisdiction when deployed on active service abroad, and so are protected by the Human Rights Act; representing suspects in the on-going LIBOR investigation; and, acting for women in the UK that had been incarcerated in Ireland's Magdalene Laundries.
Yet, Patrick Allen is quick to point out that a desire to thrive in the new legal world does not mean that HJA has lost its campaigning edge. "We have been at the forefront of the legal sector – changing lives, making headlines and advancing the law – since our inception and we do not see any reason why this should change."
The firm is also undertaking research, through Ipsos MORI, to understand how other legal firms are responding to the changes the legal sector is being subject to and what they desire for the future. These results are to be shared with the whole legal community in November, through "The HJA Innovation in Law Report", aiming to stimulate a debate on how the whole legal system cannot just survive, but thrive.
