There are several ways to get passports for children or babies. This section explains how to apply for a first child passport, the process of renewals, and the costs involved.
Note: The rules are different for overseas British passport applications (e.g. applying from outside of the United Kingdom).
CHILD PASSPORTS: In the United Kingdom, children's passports are valid until the child reaches 16 years of age.
You can apply for a child passport while they are under the age of sixteen (16). Once you get it, the child's passport is valid for five (5) years.
If you apply online the cost is £49 for a child passport.
If you apply with a paper form from the Post Office the cost is £58.50.
As a rule, the application process takes up to three (3) weeks for you to receive the official document. But, you can get a passport urgently by using the one week Fast Track service.
The person who applies for the child or baby passport must have parental rights and responsibilities. The same person (or persons) must also sign the form.
As a rule, you will need to give the details of both parents when you apply. So what if you are unable to provide the details of the other parent?
If only one person applies, you should include a letter with the application. The letter should state why you cannot give the other person's details. Typical reasons could be if the birth certificate has only one name recorded on it or one person adopted the child on their own.
Which Child Passport should You Apply For?
Unless your child has held a British passport before, you will need to apply for a first child passport. But, the child must be under 16 and have British nationality to meet the requirements.
Until children reach 16 years old, you can choose to renew a child passport any time you like. You would not lose any time remaining on the existing passport providing it is not more than nine (9) months.
Besides canceling a lost, stolen, or a damaged child passport, you will also need a replacement. There are several easy ways to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged child passport (i.e. online or by post).
If your child changes their name or certain other details they will need to get a new passport. The guide explains the two options for changing the name or personal details on a child passport.
Special rules apply when getting a passport for an adopted child, foster children, and children in care. The guide also explains the complex process for children born through surrogacy or sperm donation.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee talks to reporters about his 2019-21 budget proposal on Thursday at the Capitol in Olympia. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)
Governor's proposed budget includes a capital gains tax
Jay Inslee's budget office estimates about 42,000 households in Washington would be affected.

By Rachel La Corte / Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee is proposing a new capital gains tax and an increase in business taxes on services as part of his next two-year budget proposal that looks to increase spending on the state's mental health system and the environment, including efforts to help the state's struggling orca population.
After rolling out his policy goals on tackling climate change and the mental health system earlier in the week, Inslee on Thursday unveiled more specifics for the 2019-2021 budget cycle.
Most of the revenue from the $3.7 billion tax package proposed by Inslee comes from an increase in the business and occupation tax on services provided by accountants, attorneys, real estate agents and others. Under his plan, that tax would increase from 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent, which would raise $2.6 billion in his proposed $54.4 billion 2019-2021 budget.
How the governor's budget proposes to save the orcasDec 13, 2018
About $975 million would be raised in fiscal year 2021 from a 9 percent capital gains tax on earnings from the sale of stocks, bonds and other assets above $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for those who file jointly. The tax would take effect in mid-2020.Retirement accounts, homes, farms and forestry would be exempt.
"Only a small fraction of our state's wealthiest citizens will be pitching in," Inslee said.
Inslee's budget office estimates about 42,000 households will be affected by the capital gains tax.
Opponents of a capital gain tax have argued that it's a type of income tax illegal under state law; supporters call it an excise tax. The debate would likely end up in court if the Legislature approves the tax. Inslee said he is "very confident this will pass constitutional muster."
Sen. John Braun, the ranking Republican on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said in a written statement that Inslee's plan "is not a serious proposal that deals with the realities of crafting and passing a budget."
"If budgets are a statement of priorities, it's clear the governor will always choose to spend more without considering the effect on taxpayers or the results we achieve," Braun wrote.
Last month's revenue forecast showed that the state revenues for the next two year cycle increased to $50 billion. But officials in Inslee's budget office say that amount isn't enough to adequately fund priority issues like mental health and other programs in addition to maintaining government services at current levels, including billions put toward the state's education system. A part of that ongoing cost is the investment the Legislature has made in basic education as part of a multi-year court case that was resolved earlier this year.
"The pressure on the whole budget is from K-12, it's from the decisions we've made over the past few years," said David Schumacher, director of the Office of Financial Management
Inslee is proposing $1.1 billion in spending — and a partial whale-watching ban — to help support the recovery of Puget Sound's critically endangered orcas.
Inslee rolled out some of his policy ideas earlier in the week. On Monday, among the climate change measures Inslee proposed was eliminating fossil fuels like natural gas and coal from the state's electricity supply by 2045.
There was no carbon tax or fee included in the governor's slate of proposed legislation that his office said would reduce carbon emissions to 25 percent below 1990 levels by 2035.
The centerpiece requires utilities to provide carbon-free electricity by 2045. Another major effort would implement a clean fuel standard — similar to a program in California — that requires fuel producers and importers to reduce the carbon emissions associated with transportation fuels.
Inslee has included $268 million in his proposed two-year budget to pay for his clean energy initiatives. The efforts include boosting electric vehicle use, promoting more energy-efficient buildings and phasing out hydrofluorocarbon, potent greenhouse gases commonly used for refrigeration.
In advance of Thursday's official rollout, Inslee on Tuesday called for a $675 million increase in mental health spending over the next two years, including funding for his previously announced plan to move people hospitalized on civil commitments out of the state's two psychiatric hospitals and into beds at facilities in the community. Western State Hospital — an 850-plus bed facility in Lakewood — has been plagued with problems and has lost its certification by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and federal funding after it repeatedly failed health and safety inspections.
The governor's budget is just the first of three to be released in the coming months. After the next legislative session begins Jan. 14, the Senate and House will also release proposals during the 105-day session.
Democratic Rep. Timm Ormsby, the House budget chairman, said Inslee's proposal is "a good starting point for upcoming budget negotiations."

The matter is, if you are like me you are most likely prepared to throw up together with the amount of over-the-top, hyped-up advertising tactics used to advertise products like this and ClickFunnels is no exception.
The simple fact of the matter isthat everything you will find is that it is actually a fairly fantastic tool may be helpful for each and every internet business owner, regardless of what the niche.
During this ClickFunnels inspection, I'll be breaking everything down to you in a simple to comprehend way so it is likely to observe how ClickFunnels works and start applying it immediately to get leads to your company.
In addition, I know that you're reading this ClickFunnels review because you know your company takes a solution similar to this and you are just not certain this is the perfect fit.
Before continuing with this ClickFunnels Review, let's explain what a marketing funnel is. In advertising, it is a procedure that takes people who do not know you and turns them to clients, aka a marketing funnel. In e-commerce, a sales funnel is a set of steps developed to guide a web site visitor into the checkout page.
There's a less boring method of considering it. Measure 1: Imagine that a funnel. Measure 2: Envision this funnel is really a metaphor, and instead of actual ingredients to pour down the funnel, you've got metaphorical ingredients that you phone traffic or traffic. Your website visitors are searching around, checking out things. Your site is superbly constructed, and your content is topnotch!
Unfortunately, that still doesn't turn a great deal of your customers into clients. In a physical store, that is like people walking into your store but not understanding where the cash register is, so they leave the store without purchasing anything. At a physical store, you can talk your clients into buying something. In a digital store, you could be a bit more distant from the consumers. That is where your funnel comes in–it is designed to attract your clients' through principles of psychology. The funnel functions incremental, draw traffic in closer and closer till individuals wind up in a webpage.
Should you feel that sounds cool, you're right –it has become a massive deal for online marketing. Russell Brunson did not only become wealthy by promoting ClickFunnels technologies, but by using it also.
ClickFunnels began back in 2014, but in only 3 years it has been, in the words of Forbes,"silently revolutionizing the online advertising market." Here's the gist of ClickFunnels: This makes it much simpler for companies and entrepreneurs to market things online with otherwise intricate advertising technologies, called sales funnels (more about those in a moment ).
Russell Brunson is the bestselling author of DotCom Secrets and Expert Secrets, two books his fans rave about and that direct people through his advertisements and marketing strategies. You have the ability to pick up Dotcom Secrets free on his website here. Get Expert Secrets out of here free on his site.
ClickFunnels started out as a way to assist Brunson and his staff create funnels more rapidly for distinct ventures, as creating funnels would normally take weeks. But they soon realized their production would be helpful to other people and had good potential as a commodity.
In terms of design — the appearance and texture of your articles — ClickFunnels treats you to some fantastic choice of templates which are beautiful. Not only can these save tons of effort and time, but you also have the assurance that these templates have been tested and are demonstrated to convert. Again, Brunson started the instrument to enable his own salespeople and entrepreneurs sell more products.
As you can see, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Some of the cons are quite nitpicky, like the URLs being littered, but this is more of a personal preference than anything. I am aware that there are a number of other landing page builders that we'll utilize, such as Thrive Architect from Thrive Themes. For me , I have discovered the funnel measure integration for some of the easiest funnel applications to design nevertheless.
With TA, you will want to design the webpage, then connect to the following pages in the sequence and it's performed inside WordPress. While I love Thrive and their topics, I really do believe ClickFunnels is inherently easier to use than TA, but it comes at a monthly cost.
Like I alluded to, there's a great deal of methods to prepare a perfect funnel. Firms are different, therefore it is not surprising ClickFunnels supplies a few options in building your perfect funnel.
Lead Capture Funnel: This kind of sales funnel permits you to capture email addresses of your website's visitors. The funnel's chief objective is to aid in boosting your mailing list. Afterward, this listing could be utilized as a constant customer touchpoint as well as a path where you can promote your services and products to prospective clients via email. This type of funnel works for any organization!
Revenue Page Funnel: This funnel permits you to advertise more products or services by implementing upsells, downsells, or even 1 time provides to your clients. The intent of utilizing this sort of sales funnel would be to draw more earnings from the present pool of consumers.
Webinar Funnel: Webinars are a excellent way to provide more value and participate potential clients. This very valuable revenue funnel boosts your webinars or internet events. A great deal of bloggers come to Growth Marketing Guru to find out best practices for webinars — they are seriously popular revenue tools nowadays.
Survey Funnel: This funnel has two major functions. The very first one is going to be to allow you to engage your prospects by having them answer survey questions. Secondly, you get more insight of who your prospects are via surveys. All these, then, allow you to understand your potential customers and make pages or content that are more conducive to your intended audience.
With ClickFunnels, making your sales funnel is straightforward. Simply pick from a lot of pre-made funnels, then select the template design you would like, and Clickfunnels will produce all of the webpages to you.
As it is possible to utilize ClickFunnels to execute a lot of things such as marketing automation and membership websites, their potency is your core sales funnel builder that I think is the best in the company.
Finally it boils down to if ClickFunnels is excellent for you or not and it depends entirely on your individual requirements. If you are looking to build just a couple of landing pages to build your email list, you most likely don't need ClickFunnels.
However if you're seeking to construct a sales funnel to advertise any service or product, ClickFunnels is surely a tool that you need to consider using. There is no greater method of constructing your funnels if you're one of those sales-focused entrepreneurs.

John Connor est un personnage de fiction créé par James Cameron. D'abord mentionné dans le film Terminator en 1984, il apparait pour la première fois dans Terminator 2 : Le Jugement dernier (1991).

Biographie fictive
Le , un Terminator T-800 (modèle 101) est envoyé du futur par Skynet, entité informatique indépendante qui a pris le pouvoir en 1997. La mission du Terminator est de tuer Sarah Connor, avant qu'elle ne donne naissance, un an plus tard, à John Connor, qui deviendra ensuite chef de la Résistance face aux machines. Pour éviter cela, John Connor envoie, depuis le futur (2029) le soldat Kyle Reese en 1984 pour protéger Sarah. Kyle et Sarah tombent rapidement amoureux et John est conçu durant la seule nuit qu'ils passent ensemble : Kyle est tué par le Terminator après une course-poursuite intense. Sarah parvient à écraser le T-800 dans une presse hydraulique. Elle s'enfuit ensuite vers le Mexique à bord de sa jeep, tout en enregistrant de nombreux messages sur cassettes destinés à son fils (né le , d'après les infos contenues dans la voiture de police réquisitionnée par le T-1000).

1995 : John Connor a 13 ans. Il habite avec ses parents adoptifs, Todd et Janelle Voight, car sa mère biologique a été internée dans l'hôpital psychiatrique de Pescadero pour avoir voulu faire exploser une usine d'ordinateurs. C'est un adolescent rebelle qui désobéit à ses parents adoptifs et préfère « zoner » avec ses copains et faire de la motocross, en portant un t-shirt du groupe de rap Public Enemy.

Skynet, ayant échoué en 1984, tente maintenant de s'attaquer directement à John en envoyant le T-1000 pour le tuer. À nouveau, un protecteur est envoyé dans le présent. Il s'agit cette fois d'un T-800 reprogrammé par les résistants humains en 2029. John ordonne au T-800 de l'aider à libérer sa mère de l'hôpital psychiatrique où elle est internée. Malgré les risques de tomber sur le T-1000, il accepte. Une fois Sarah libérée, elle les conduit chez un vieil ami qui habite au Mexique pour se ravitailler en armes. Là, John se confie au Terminator sur ses années passées avec sa mère, avec des pères de substitution plus nuls les uns que les autres. John fait du Terminator venu pour le protéger un confident et il lui fait promettre de ne plus s'en prendre aux humains. Pendant ce temps-là, Sarah veut en finir avec Skynet et décide de supprimer l'informaticien de génie Miles Dyson qui, bien qu'il l'ignore, sera le créateur de la micropuce à l'origine de Skynet. Elle est incapable de mener à bien sa mission. Elle est rejointe par son fils et le T-800 qui expliquent tout à Dyson. Ensemble, ils décident de se rendre dans le bureau de Dyson à Cyberdyne et de détruire tous ses travaux et recherches. Dyson meurt dans l'explosion du bâtiment. Sarah, John et le T-800 sont poursuivis par le T-1000. Ils parviennent à le détruire en le faisant tomber dans du métal en fusion. John détruit également le bras et la micropuce du T-800 de 1984, qui avait été conservés chez Cyberdyne. John et Sarah pensent qu'ils ont à jamais écarté tout danger mais le Terminator leur apprend qu'il possède lui aussi une puce qu'il faut détruire. Il demande à Sarah de le faire descendre dans la fonderie. John est très affecté par ce sacrifice de cet « ami » qui avait été pour lui une figure paternelle.

2004 : John a alors 19 ans. Il erre de ville en ville sans autre but que la fuite. Tout ce que lui avait annoncé sa mère, la fin du monde pour le , ne s'est pas produit. De plus, Sarah est morte d'une leucémie et John est désormais seul. Alors qu'il se réfugie dans une clinique vétérinaire, il retrouve une ancienne camarade de classe, Katherine « Kate » Brewster. À l'autre bout de la ville, le T-X tente de trouver et supprimer tous les futurs lieutenants de John Connor qui sera alors chef de la Résistance contre les machines en 2029. Kate Brewster se trouve sur cette liste. Le T-X la localise en identifiant des traces du sang de John à la clinique. John et Kate sont sauvés par le T-850 envoyé depuis le futur par la Résistance. Le T-850 apprend à John et Kate que le Jugement Dernier aura bien lieu mais qu'il a été repoussé en 2004 et qu'on ne pourra l'éviter. Ils apprennent aussi que, dans le futur, ils seront mariés et que Kate occupera de hautes fonctions dans la Résistance. Le T-850 a pour mission de protéger John et Kate et de les mettre en lieu sûr lorsque l'attaque des machines aura lieu. Le T-850 avoue à John qu'il a été tué le  et que c'est Kate qui l'a renvoyé en 2004. Il leur apprend également qu'une autre cible prioritaire de Skynet est le père de Kate, le Lieutenant-Général Robert Brewster, le seul homme a pouvoir détruire Skynet avant son activation. Il foncent vers sa base pour le sauver, mais arrivent trop tard: il est mortellement blessé par le T-X et à tout juste le temps d'envoyer Kate et John à un abri anti-atomique censé hébergé le programme central de Skynet. Alors qu'ils y arrivent, le T-850 se sacrifie pour tuer le T-X qui est à leur recherche. Alors que Skynet prend le contrôle des missiles nucléaires et les retourne contre la Terre, John et Kate comprennent que leur mission était seulement de survivre à cette attaque, l'abri anti-atomique n'ayant jamais été le siège de Skynet, qui est en réalité déjà dispersé dans le cyberespace. C'est depuis leur abri anti-atomique qu'ils commencent ensemble à organiser la Résistance et la survie de l'humanité.

Pendant les 14 années de la lutte entre la Résistance et les Machines, John Connor est lieutenant d'un petit groupe de résistants mais gravit les échelons rapidement jusqu'en 2015, où il devient chef d'une armée de résistants appelée Tech-Com. Il réussit malgré tout à prendre de l'influence sur tous les soldats humains et non les hauts-gradés de la Résistance.

2018. John a maintenant 33 ans et est un résistant chevronné et très expérimenté. Il est marié à Kate Brewster, qui attend un enfant de lui. Malgré son expérience, Connor n'est pas au sommet de la hiérarchie de la Résistance, car les dirigeants le prennent pour un prophète peu crédible. Motivé pour sauver Kyle Reese, son « futur père », il décide de s'allier contre toutes ses croyances à Marcus Wright, pour infiltrer la base de SkyNet. Gravement blessé à la suite de l'opération, il est sauvé par le cyborg Marcus, qui lui donne son cœur. En apprenant que le général Ashdown, commandant suprême des forces armées humaines, a été tué dans son QG avec ses hommes, il devient chef de facto de la Résistance et contrôle désormais les armées humaines qui luttent contre les forces de Skynet, comme l'annonçait la prophétie.

2029. Le film Terminator Genisys commence lorsque John Connor, commandant suprême de la Résistance, lance l'opération Chronos qui consista de détruire l'unité centrale de Skynet sous les montagnes Cheyennes au Colorado. Après avoir presque détruit Skynet, ce dernier envoya un Terminator T-800 éliminer Sarah Connor dans le passé afin de la tuer. Lorsque Connor envoya Kyle Reese dans le passé afin de sauver Sarah, il fut attaqué par un Terminator modèle T-5000 qui n'est autre que Skynet lui-même. L'intelligence artificielle s'est implanté dans la conscience d'un nouveau modèle de Terminator afin d'assurer sa survie. Il attaqua John Connor, tua les soldats de la Résistance participant à l'opération Chronos, et transforma Connor en un modèle de Terminator T-3000 par le processus des nanorobots. John Connor, maintenant au service de Skynet, voyagea en 2014 afin d'assurer la survie de son maître en sauvant le projet Genysis : un programme chargé de connecter tous les appareils informatiques à Skynet. Mais le programme fut saboté en 2017 par Kyle Reese, Sarah Connor et son gardien T-800. John Connor combattit ses parents, mais fut finalement vaincu par le gardien qui utilisa la machine à envoyer dans le temps, afin de le détruire. John Connor meurt finalement en même temps que l'explosion des édifices Genysis.

Biographie alternative
Dans une fin alternative du film Terminator 2 : Le Jugement dernier, on voit John âgé et père d'une petite fille. Sarah Connor raconte que son fils est désormais sénateur et qu'il tente de changer le monde grâce à la diplomatie et non grâce aux armes.

Dans la série Terminator : Les Chroniques de Sarah Connor, en 1999, John et Sarah tentent de mener une vie normale après les évènements de 1995. Mais ils craignent d'être arrêtés pour avoir détruit le bâtiment de Cyberdyne (avec l'aide du T-800 et de Miles Dyson). Au lycée, John est attaqué par un Terminator venu du futur qui s'était fait passer pour un professeur. Il est secouru par Cameron Phillips, une Terminatrice reprogrammée envoyée depuis l'année 2027 pour le sauver. John découvre que le jour du Jugement Dernier a seulement été repoussé au . Cameron utilise alors la technologie pour aller avec John et Sarah dans le futur : en 2007 pour empêcher la création de Skynet. Arrivé en 2007, John entre à la Campo de Cahuenga High School, sous le pseudonyme de John Baum. John se lie d'amitié avec Morris et Riley Dawson. Il rencontre également un certain Derek Reese, envoyé depuis le futur, et qui n'est autre que le frère de Kyle Reese, son propre père. Derek est donc son oncle. John est devenu un jeune hacker très doué qui peut pirater n'importe quel réseau, surtout celui du LAPD.

Au début de Terminator: Dark Fate, on voit John encore adolescent vivant au Guatemala avec Sarah après les événements de Cyberdyne. Mais un Terminator T-800 Modèle 101 parvient à retrouver leur trace et assassine John sous les yeux de Sarah.

Description

Physique
À travers les différents acteurs qui ont interprété son rôle, le John (du futur) est toujours décrit comme un homme athlétique et les cheveux coupés court.

Lors de la guerre contre les machines, John a une cicatrice au visage, expliquée dans Terminator Renaissance.

Personnalité
Lors de sa deuxième apparition dans Terminator 2 : Le Jugement dernier, John Connor est présenté comme un adolescent rebelle et asocial. Très affecté par le fait qu'il n'a pas (encore) connu son père et que sa mère a passé la plupart du temps dans un asile psychiatrique, John s'est forgé un caractère individuel et débrouillard. Lorsqu'il prend conscience de la réalité et du rôle qu'il va jouer dans le futur, il accepte ses responsabilités et se lance dans la destruction de Cyberdine avec sa mère et le T-800.

Dans Terminator 3 : Le Soulèvement des machines, il ne semble plus vouloir du futur auquel il est promis, il menace même à un moment de se suicider parce qu'il refuse son destin. C'est seulement au moment du Jugement Dernier que John va accepter son rôle de chef aux côtés de sa (future) femme Kate Brewster.

Dans Terminator Renaissance, John est haut gradé de la résistance. Il est respecté par ses hommes mais pas par ses supérieurs, il considère toute vie humaine comme précieuse et n'hésite pas à se rebeller contre l'état-major militaire et infiltrer seul, au péril de sa vie, la base de Skynet située à San Francisco pour sauver des civils et son père, Kyle, alors adolescent.

Création du personnage

À propos du nom
Il porte le nom de sa mère. Son prénom lui a été donné par sa mère à la suite de la révélation de son père, Kyle Reese, qui avait appris à Sarah qu'il se prénommerait ainsi (Terminator).

Plusieurs critiques voient dans le nom les initiales de Jésus Christ et font des parallèles entre l'histoire du Christ et de John Connor, avec le statut de messie pour sauver le monde du jugement dernier}.

Interprètes
Dans Terminator 2 : Le Jugement dernier, c'est Edward Furlong qui joue John Connor adolescent dans la majeure partie du film. Il est incarné par Michael Edwards pour les flashforwards et par le vrai fils de Linda Hamilton, Dalton Abbott, lorsqu'on le voit bébé dans un rêve de Sarah Connor. Dans Terminator 3, il est interprété par Nick Stahl tout au long du film. Dans Terminator : Les Chroniques de Sarah Connor, il est joué par Thomas Dekker. John DeVito joue le jeune Connor dans un épisode, et dans Terminator Renaissance c'est Christian Bale qui interprète le personnage. Six ans plus tard, Jason Clarke interprète un John Connor transhumain dans Terminator Genisys. Dans Terminator: Dark Fate, Edward Furlong reprend son rôle.

ATTORNE
Attorney–client privilege
Attorney–client privilege explained
In the law of the United States, attorney–client privilege or lawyer–client privilege is a "client's right to refuse to disclose and to prevent any other person from disclosing confidential communications between the client and the attorney."[1]
The attorney–client privilege is one of the oldest recognized privileges for confidential communications.[2] The United States Supreme Court has stated that by assuring confidentiality, the privilege encourages clients to make "full and frank" disclosures to their attorneys, who are then better able to provide candid advice and effective representation.[3]
General requirements under United States law
Although there are minor variations, the elements necessary to establish the attorney-client privilege generally are:
The asserted holder of the privilege is (or sought to become) a client; and
The person to whom the communication was made:
is a member of the bar of a court, or a subordinate of such a member, and
in connection with this communication, is acting as an attorney; and
The communication was for the purpose of securing legal advice.[4]
There are a number of exceptions to the privilege in most jurisdictions, chief among them:
the communication was made in the presence of individuals who were neither attorney nor client, or was disclosed to such individuals,
the communication was made for the purpose of committing a crime or tort,
the client has waived the privilege (for example by publicly disclosing the communication).
A corollary to the attorney-client privilege is the joint defense privilege, which is also called the common interest rule.[5] The common interest rule "serves to protect the confidentiality of communications passing from one party to another party where a joint defense or strategy has been decided upon and undertaken by the parties and their respective counsel."[5]
An attorney speaking publicly in regard to a client's personal business and private affairs can be reprimanded by the bar and/or disbarred, regardless of the fact that he or she may be no longer representing the client. Discussing a client's or past client's criminal history, or otherwise, is viewed as a breach of confidentiality.[6]
The attorney-client privilege is separate from and should not be confused with the work-product doctrine.
When the privilege may not apply
When an attorney is not acting primarily as an attorney but, for instance, as a business advisor, member of the Board of Directors, or in another non-legal role, then the privilege generally does not apply.[7]
The privilege protects the confidential communication, and not the underlying information. For instance, if a client has previously disclosed confidential information to a third party who is not an attorney, and then gives the same information to an attorney, the attorney–client privilege will still protect the communication to the attorney, but will not protect the communication with the third party.
The privilege may be waived if the confidential communications are disclosed to third parties.
Other limits to the privilege may apply depending on the situation being adjudicated.
Disclosure in case of a crime, tort, or fraud
The crime-fraud exception can render the privilege moot when communications between an attorney and client are themselves used to further a crime, tort, or fraud. In Clark v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that "A client who consults an attorney for advice that will serve him in the commission of a fraud will have no help from the law. He must let the truth be told."[8] The crime-fraud exception also does require that the crime or fraud discussed between client and attorney be carried out to be triggered.[9] U.S. courts have not yet conclusively ruled how little knowledge an attorney can have of the underlying crime or fraud before the privilege detaches and the attorney's communications or requisite testimony become admissible.[10]
Disclosure ostensibly to support lawyer's own interests
Lawyers may disclose confidential information relating to the retainer where they are reasonably seeking to collect payment for services rendered. This is justified on policy grounds. If lawyers were unable to disclose such information, many would undertake legal work only where payment is made in advance. This would arguably adversely affect the public's access to justice.
Lawyers may also breach the duty where they are defending themselves against disciplinary or legal proceedings. A client who initiates proceedings against a lawyer effectively waives rights to confidentiality. This is justified on grounds of procedural fairness—a lawyer unable to reveal information relating to the retainer would be unable to defend themselves against such action.
Disclosure for the purpose of probate
See also: Probate court and Surrogate's court. Another case is for the probate of a last will and testament. Previously confidential communications between the lawyer and testator may be disclosed in order to prove that a will represented the intent of the now deceased decedent. In many instances, the will, codicil, or other parts of the estate plan require explanation or interpretation through other proof (extrinsic evidence), such as the attorney's file notes or correspondence from the client.
In certain cases, the client may desire or consent to revelation of personal or family secrets only after his or her death; for example, the will may leave a legacy to a paramour or a natural child.
Courts have occasionally revoked the privilege after the death of the client if it is deemed that doing so serves the client's intent, such as in the case of resolving testamentary disputes among heirs.
Tax practice
In the United States, communications between accountants and their clients are usually not privileged. A person who is worried about accusations of questionable accounting, such as tax evasion, may decide to work only with an attorney or only with an accountant who is also an attorney; some or all of the resulting communications may be privileged provided that all the requirements for the attorney–client privilege are met. The mere fact that the practitioner is an attorney will not create a valid attorney–client privilege with respect to a communication, for example, that involves business or accounting advice rather than legal advice.
Under federal tax law in the United States, for communications on or after July 22, 1998, there is a limited federally authorized accountant–client privilege that may apply to certain communications with non–attorneys.
In the federal courts
If a case arises in the federal court system, the federal court will apply Rule 501 of the Federal Rules of Evidence to determine whether to apply the privilege law of the relevant state or federal common law. If the case is brought to the federal court under diversity jurisdiction, the law of the relevant state will be used to apply the privilege. If the case involves a federal question, the federal court will apply the federal common law of attorney–client privilege; however, Rule 501 grants flexibility to the federal courts, allowing them to construe the privilege "in light of experience and reason".

In Imperial Russia, Easter was special, even more special for the Empress, who was the recipient each year of an amazing present, a Fabergé Egg. Each year, a new, unique egg was given to the Empress by the Tsar, (First Alexander III, then Nicolas II) and made by Peter Carl Fabergé, a Russian jeweller who made his creations of precious metals and gemstones, in the style of Easter eggs.
The Russian Revolution changed everything and In 1918, The House of Fabergé was nationalized by the Bolsheviks and Fabergé fled to Switzerland. He never recovered from the shock of the Russian Revolution and died in Switzerland on September 24, 1920. His family believed he died of a broken heart. according to his family.
Easter is the most important of all Russian Orthodox festivals and it's a long-established tradition to exchange Easter eggs. Carl Fabergé, goldsmith to the Tsars, created the lavish Imperial Easter eggs for both Alexander III and Nicholas II from 1885 to 1916. The Eggs are his most prized creations and have become bywords of luxury and craftsmanship.
The Third Imperial Egg is a 1887 Fabergé egg rediscovered in 2012. It is a Vacheron Constantin Lady's watch, with white enamel dial and openwork diamond set gold hands.
This egg was last seen in public over 112 years ago, when it was shown in the Von Dervis Mansion exhibition of the Russian Imperial Family's Fabergé collection in St. Petersburg in March 1902. In the turmoil of the Russian revolution the Bolsheviks confiscated the Egg from the Empress. It was last recorded in Moscow in 1922 when the Soviets decided to sell it as part of their policy of turning 'Treasures into Tractors'. Its fate after this point was unknown and it is was feared it could have been melted for its gold and lost forever.
It was only in 2011 that Fabergé researchers discovered that the Third Imperial Egg survived the revolution, when it was discovered in an old Parke-Bernet catalogue. Its provenance had been unknown and so it was sold at auction on Madison Avenue, New York on 7th March 1964 as a 'Gold watch in egg form case' for $2,450 (£875 at the time). This discovery started a worldwide race to discover the whereabouts of the egg, which was now worth tens of millions of dollars….

Vanderbilt Commodores vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish Betting Picks and Free Prediction
Notre Dame looks to make it three straight home wins to open the season as it hosts undefeated Vanderbilt on Saturday afternoon. The eighth-ranked Fighting Irish are coming off an unconvincing 24-17 win over Ball State, while the Commodores are feeling confident after their 41-10 home win over Nevada last weekend.
The Irish were in the perfect position for a letdown game after their opening-weekend victory over Michigan and barely snuck away with the win against Ball State after being a 35-point favorite. "I obviously didn't do a good enough job getting them up to play at the level they need to play," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly told reporters after the game.
Vanderbilt outscored Nevada 24-0 in the second half to pull away as quarterback Kyle Shurmur went 23-of-32 for 258 yards and two touchdowns. "I thought Shurmur did a great job all day long. He really directed traffic. That's who he is. That's what he does," Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said after the game.
Vanderbilt Commodores vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish Keys Players Betting Report
Vanderbilt Commodores: Shurmur seems to have developed a nice rapport with receiver Kalija Lipscomb, as the junior has 14 catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns so far this season. The Commodores like to keep things fresh in the backfield as four running backs have touched the ball at least 10 times this season, with junior Ke'Shawn Vaughn leading the way with 20 carries for 130 yards and two touchdowns. The defense has been stellar as well, giving up just 17 points through two games, including holding Nevada to 10 points last week after the Wolfpack put up 72 in their season opener.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish:In a game in which Notre Dame was expected to light up the scoreboard, it was a couple of defensive players that helped the Fighting Irish to a tight victory over the Cardinals. Junior safety Jalen Elliott had two interceptions to go along with seven tackles, while star linebacker Te'von Coney had 14 tackles, including three tackles for a loss, to bring his season total to 24. Quarterback Brandon Wimbush will need a bounce-back performance after going 17-of-31 for 297 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions last weekend.

Prevalence of supplemental benefits in the D-SNP Medicare Advantage marketplace: 2018 to 2022
By Julia M. Friedman and Mary Yeh
Share Download PDF
In an increasingly competitive Medicare Advantage (MA) marketplace,1 supplemental benefits are one of the primary ways Medicare Advantage organizations (MAOs) can differentiate their plans from competitors' plans. A supplemental benefit is an additional benefit MAOs cover for their beneficiaries, but which is not covered under traditional fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare. MAOs offer these benefits to attract Medicare-eligible individuals to their plans. Supplemental benefit coverage can either be mandatory, meaning all enrollees in a particular plan receive coverage, or optional, meaning all enrollees in a particular plan can elect to receive coverage for an additional premium.2 Due to recent Centers for Medicare And Medicaid Services (CMS) demonstration programs and expansions in supplemental benefit flexibilities,3,4,5 MAOs may also limit mandatory supplemental benefits to plan enrollees who meet certain conditions, such as having a diabetes diagnosis. These types of benefits are only offered to a specific subset of a plan's population, and therefore are not part of this analysis. This analysis focuses on mandatory supplemental benefits offered by Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) from 2018 to 2022. Additional benefits offered under Medicaid are not considered in this article.
Supplemental benefits are particularly important for D-SNPs for a few key reasons:
Cost sharing for dual-eligible individuals is generally covered by Medicaid, so lowering traditional Medicare-covered cost sharing does not have an impact on a dual-eligible individual's out-of-pocket cost. Therefore, D-SNPs typically do not enhance Medicare-covered benefits.
D-SNPs typically target a $0 premium after government premium subsidies, and there is minimal competition on premium for dual-eligible members.
Because D-SNPs cannot attract beneficiaries by enhancing Medicare-covered benefits or reducing beneficiary premium, supplemental benefits are the key distinguishing plan design factor in the D-SNP market.
We utilized publicly available data from CMS for this analysis. The 2018 through 2021 membership is based on February plan enrollment, and the 2022 membership is based on January 2022 enrollment.6 Benefit data for all years was summarized from the plan benefit packages (PBPs) published by CMS for each year.7
Vision, hearing, and dental benefits are among the most common supplemental benefits historically offered by MA plans. Figure 1 shows the percentage of beneficiaries in D-SNPs from 2018 to 2022 with coverage for these benefits.
Figure 1: Percentage of beneficiaries with benefit coverage of the most common supplemental benefits, 2018-2022
MAOs offered these benefits to a very high percentage of D-SNP beneficiaries from 2018 to 2022 with modest increases in coverage over the five years. With the exception of hearing exams, which are available to nearly 90% of beneficiaries, the remainder of these benefits have over 90% prevalence in the 2022 marketplace for D-SNP plans.
Supplemental benefit prevalence varies significantly between national and regional MAOs. National players are defined as those that have more than 250,000 beneficiaries in total (including all enrollment types),8 and regional players are the remainder. There was a decrease in 2019, a large increase in 2020, and slight growth from 2020 to 2022 of preventive dental offerings driven by the national players, which now have 94% prevalence for preventive dental benefits in the D-SNP market in 2022. Regional players, on the other hand, saw a marked decrease in beneficiaries covered by this benefit in 2021 and slight growth from 2021 to 2022, with only 76% of beneficiaries covered by this benefit in 2022. The reduced prevalence of preventive dental coverage is a divergence from all other common supplemental benefits for regional players, which continued to see increased penetration from 2019 to 2022, though still less penetration than the national players. The notable difference in benefit coverage between national and regional players in 2022 is evident in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Percentage of beneficiaries with benefit coverage in 2022, by regional and national carriers
MAOs can offer numerous additional supplemental benefits beyond vision, hearing, and dental. Figure 3 shows the percentage of beneficiaries in D-SNPs from 2018 to 2022 with coverage for other common supplemental benefits, including over the counter (OTC) drug cards, transportation, podiatry services, meals, and acupuncture.
Figure 3: Percentage of beneficiaries with benefit coverage of various other supplemental benefits
An OTC drug card is the most highly offered benefit of the group from 2018 to 2022, with 97% penetration in 2022. Acupuncture coverage increased to 53% penetration in 2022. Meal benefit coverage grew nearly 50% from 2018 to 2022. While most of these gains happened between 2018 and 2019, there is now 81% penetration of this benefit in 2022. Podiatry and transportation both grew by about 12% from 2018 to 2022, with 76% and 90% penetration in 2022, respectively.
Multiple supplemental benefits fall under the 14c "Other Defined Supplemental Benefit" category in the PBP. Figure 4 shows the percentage of beneficiaries in D-SNPs from 2018 to 2022 with coverage for some of the most prevalent 14c benefits: health education, fitness, remote access technologies (RAT) – nursing hotline, nutritional/dietary benefit, and smoking cessation.
Figure 4: Percentage of beneficiaries with benefit coverage of various PBP 14C benefits
Coverage of remote access technologies – nursing hotline and health education decreased from 2018 to 2022, but all other benefits increased in the percentage of beneficiaries covered over this period.
The definition of "primarily health- related benefits"9 was expanded starting in the 2019 bid cycle to cover services used to:
Compensate for physical impairments
Ameliorate the functional/psychological impact of injuries or health conditions
Reduce avoidable emergency and healthcare utilization
This includes adult day care, home-based palliative care, in-home support services, support for caregivers, and therapeutic massage (for pain management). The percentages of beneficiaries in D-SNPs with coverage for these expanded primarily health-related benefits in 2021 and 2022 are displayed in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Percentage of beneficiaries with expanded primarily health-related benefit coverage, comparison of 2021 to 2022
While D-SNPs could provide a subset of these types of benefits prior to the expansion of primarily health-related supplemental benefits, D-SNP MAOs provide these services to a relatively low percentage of beneficiaries compared to the other supplemental benefits discussed above. But the percentage is Benefit prevalence is higher for D-SNPs than general enrollment plans for adult day care, in-home support services, and therapeutic massage. From 2021 to 2022, adult day care coverage decreased from 5% to 1%, while in-home support services coverage increased from 15% to 20%.
In performing this analysis, we relied on the 2022 Milliman MACVAT®. The Milliman MACVAT contains MA plan details and benefit offerings for 2018 through 2022.

Everybody's Investing in Brexit Britain
Three huge businesses have announced major UK investments in the space of 24 hours – in some cases contrary to what their officials claimed prior to the referendum vote. GlaxoSmithKline has announced £275 million of fresh investment, London's City Airport is getting a £344 million expansion, and Deutsche Börse's shareholders overwhelmingly approved its merger with the London Stock Exchange. A vote endorsing London as the enduring financial capital of the world post-Brexit…
All three firms contributed to Project Fear. GSK CEO Sir Andrew Witty signed a letter to the Observer in May that claimed "Leaving the EU would bring added complexity and uncertainty, which is bad for business and research." London City Airport's CEO Declan Collier claimed Brexit would "undermine the free flow of trade and travel." The Financial Times warned of "advisers familiar" with the Stock Exchange merger claiming the day after the vote "The deal is dead. The German's won't allow it." Willkommen in Großbritannien!

Breeding Puts English Bulldogs at High Risk of Multiple Ailments
English bulldogs are plagued by health problems due to their breeding, which needs to be changed to improve their well-being, British researchers say.
The short skull, protruding jaw, skin folds and squat, heavy build that are part of their breed standards put English bulldogs at increased risk of breathing problems and eye and skin conditions, and they're much less healthy than other dog breeds.
"These findings suggest that the overall health of the English bulldog is much lower than that of other dogs," said study author Dan O'Neill, an associate professor at Royal Veterinary College in Hertfordshire.
These health issues have led some countries, including the Netherlands and Norway, to restrict breeding of English bulldogs in recent years, and there's a risk that could happen in the United Kingdom, researchers warned.
For the study, O'Neill's team analyzed data gathered from U.K. veterinary practices since 2016 and compared the medical records of more than 2,600 English bulldogs with more than 22,000 other types of dogs.
English bulldogs were predisposed to 24 (55.8%) of 43 specific disorders assessed in the study, published June 14 in the journal Canine Medicine and Genetics.
Compared to other dogs, English bulldogs were found to be:
twice as likely to be diagnosed with at least one disorder;
38 times more likely to have skin fold dermatitis;
nearly 27 times more likely to have an condition called cherry eye, in which their third eyelid protrudes as a red swollen mass in the lower eye;
24 times more likely to have mandibular prognathism, where the lower jaw is too long relative to the upper jaw,
19 times more likely to have brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, which can lead to severe breathing problems.
English bulldogs did have a lower risk of some conditions such as dental disease, heart murmur and flea infestation.
Only 9.7% of English bulldogs in the study were over 8 years old, compared to 25.4% of other dog breeds. Researchers said this supports the belief that a shorter life span in English bulldogs is linked to their poorer overall health.
"What is most concerning is that so many of the health conditions that English bulldogs suffer from, such as skin fold dermatitis and breathing problems, are directly linked to the extreme structure of their bodies that has been selectively bred for," O'Neill said in a journal news release.
Given the breed's continued popularity, he said the body shape should be redefined towards more "moderate physical characteristics" to improve the dogs' health and avoid the breed from being banned in the U.K.
There's more on bulldogs at the American Kennel Club.

The role of the Certified Nursing Assistant is varied and broad. These individuals work under the charge of a registered nurse and perform various tasks related to daily living and making patients comfortable. This position is in demand in nursing homes, home health organizations, and hospitals to name a few. Job prospects are very good for this profession due to an emerging geriatric population and an increase in debilitating diseases.
According to the Maryland Board of Nursing, there are also certifications for Geriatric Nursing Assistants, Home Health Aides, Certified Medicine Aide, and Dialysis Technician. These designations offer nursing assistants to work in a more specialized way or setting based on the certification they obtain. All of these certifications along with the Certified Nursing Assistant designation require certification renewal every 2 years.
There are many schools in the Baltimore, MD area that offer training to Certified Nursing Assistants. It is important to study with a program approved by the state and the Maryland Board of Nursing. Five examples of such programs include: Maryland Center for Arts & Technology, Inc., Community College of Baltimore Co., Baltimore City Community College, Sojourner-Douglas College, and Milford Mill Academy. Costs of the training programs vary so this should be investigated before any commitment to a school is made. In addition, scholarships are available depending on the school. It is important to check with the financial aid staff at the particular school or program to determine the guidelines and requirements to obtain such funds.
Certified Nursing Assistants will typically train for 6 weeks. In this time, they will learn about many topics affecting their patients. Making patients comfortable while preserving their dignity is a primary focus. In addition, another important skill taught in these programs is how to keep patients and the Certified Nursing Assistants safe from infectious diseases. Courses taught have a biological science base including information on anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and allied health sciences. In addition, Certified Nursing Assistants often help patients who cannot physically do the activities required of daily living. Training therefore focuses on how to lift patients, bathe patients, and help patients eliminate wastes.
It is important that Certified Nursing Assistants have a warm bedside manner, a strict attention to detail, and good communication skills. They work closely with Registered Nurses to assure the health and well being of their patients. If an individual has multiple language proficiencies this can be helpful in finding a job because they can help more clients with these skills. Overall, Certified Nursing Assistants are needed in the Maryland area and there are many opportunities to train and practice if a person possesses the aforementioned skills.

After a distinguished career, the USS Pampanito now sits as a museum ship in San Francisco.
For more about this ship, check out Undersea battle star: Inside the USS Pampanito.
Caption:Geoffrey MorrisonPhoto:Geoffrey Morrison/CNET
The Pampanito is a Balao-class diesel-electric sub, launched in 1943.
Published: July 4, 2019 Caption:Geoffrey MorrisonPhoto:Geoffrey Morrison/CNET
The Pampanito had six patrols in the Pacific during World War II.
She's 311.5 feet long, or about 95 meters.
Aft torpedo
I began the tour descending stairs that were retrofitted when the sub was converted to a museum ship. This is the aft torpedo room.
Torpedoes away
The Pampanito had 10 torpedo tubes, 4 aft and 6 in the bow.
The top right shows the inside of a torpedo where the warhead would normally be.
Twin screws
The torpedo's propellers would rotate in opposite directions to help maintain direction.
The next compartment forward is the maneuvering room.
The Pampanito has four electric motors that, through reduction gears, drive the propellers.
Submerged, top speed was around 10 mph, or 16 km/h.
The next compartment forward is the aft engine room, where you'll find two of the four 10-cylinder opposed-piston engines.
Diesel engines need to breathe, and this is one of the main ways that was done. A big snorkel that could supply fresh air when the sub was on the surface. This was usually done at night.
The four engines, with electrical generators, were used to recharge the ship's batteries.
The diesel engines weren't connected to the propellers; they were just used to generate electricity.
Water was desalinated on board but was always at a premium. The crew would rarely shower.
Forward engine room
The next compartment forward is the other engine room, with two more 1,600-horsepower Fairbanks-Morse engines.
The Pampanito had around 80 men on board. There wasn't a lot of privacy.
Many subs squeeze crew bunks wherever they fit. The Pampanito has a whole compartment for the majority of the crew.
The crew hot bunked (or hot racked), which was common for subs of the era. In this case, two beds for every three men.
The crew's mess was one of two places the crew could relax, the other being their bunk.
Modern entertainment
There was a radio, board games built into the tables, and lots of coffee.
On modern nuclear subs, food is the only major limiting factor as to how long a patrol can last.
It is said submariners have the best food in the armed services, and you'd hope so, given how isolated they were.
In here is the radio room. The "typewriter" is a state-of-the-art encryption device.
Rigged for red
Not just for show, the Control Room would use red lighting at night to help maintain the night vision of the officers on watch in the conning tower above.
The Pampanito had five patrols in WWII, sinking six ships and disabling four more.
On the surface she had a range of 13,000 miles, or 20,000 kilometers. Submerged, she could run at maximum speed for about 30 minutes, or at a crawl for 16 to 18 hours before oxygen depletion became a problem for the crew.
Before you submerged you'd better make sure your panel was green.
Pump room
Beneath the control room is the pump room, with the machinery to help the sub maintain depth.
Make your depth
Balao-class submarines could submerge to a depth of 600 feet (183 meters).
Sister ship
The USS Tang, one of the Pampanito's sister ships, went even deeper.
Like nearly all submarine museum ships, you can't go up into the conning tower. However, a selfie stick can help give a peek. You can see the periscope tubes and various sensor and electronic equipment.
Looking the other way, the blueish light is sunlight coming through an open hatch at the top of the tower.
POWs
During her third patrol, in 1944, the crew of the Pampanito rescued 73 British and Australian POWs out of the South China Sea, survivors of a cargo vessel sunk by one of the Pampanito's sister ships several days prior, having not known there were POWs aboard.
Officer's country
Even under the sea there's paperwork.
Officer's quarters
The chief petty officer's quarters. No hot bunking here.
The commanding officer's quarters.
The officers get their own "lounge."
Officers' mess
And their own mess.
The Pampanito served from November of 1943 to December 1945, then again as a training vessel from 1962 to 1971.
Going electric
Early in the war the Pampanito had the troublesome Mark 14 torpedo (as shown earlier in the aft torpedo room), but later received the electric Mark 18, seen here with a clear casing.
Forward tubes
The six forward torpedo tubes.
Escape trunk
Note the escape hatch (with sunlight coming through) at the top of the image.
The top here is the flat deck, with the curved pressure hull underneath. That hull is 0.875-inch (22.2 mm) thick.
Famous star
The Pampanito's turn on the big screen was in 1996's Down Periscope where it starred as the "USS Stingray." The actual USS Stingray was a Salmon-class submarine, but we'll let that slide for such a cinematic masterpiece.
For most of WWII, deck armament consisted of a 4-inch 50-caliber gun, a 40mm anti-aircraft gun, and a 20mm anti-aircraft gun.
Hard to lose your binoculars when they're hard mounted.
In 1945, right before the end of WWII, Pampanito got an overhaul that included some new weaponry, including a 5-inch 25-caliber gun, and a doubling of the 20 and 40mm AA guns. Only one of the latter is shown.
WWII colleagues
Also on the pier is the Liberty ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien, which was part of the D-Day invasion.
Notice the broom at the top of the tower? That was to signify a successful mission when the sub returned to port.
It's easy to find the USS Pampanito, right next to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. It's well worth a visit.
For more about this tour, and the sub, check out Undersea battle star: Inside the USS Pampanito.

In 2004, 10 brewers controlled 51% of the global beer market by volume. Ten years later, five beer makers — Anheuser-Busch InBev, SABMiller, Heineken, Carlsberg, and China Resources Enterprise — controlled about the same amount.
Anheuser-Busch InBev, which makes Budweiser, merged with SABMiller at the end of last year, giving the new company about 30% of the global market share.
Bottom line: Big beer is big.
We mapped out the five biggest beer makers in the world, along with many of the major brands they own, to show how vast this empire of inebriation extends.
AB InBev in particular has dipped its big toe into the craft-beer pond, making five big craft purchases last year. Those acquisitions — Breckenridge Brewery in Colorado, Four Peaks Brewing Company in Arizona, Camden Town Brewery in England, Elysian Brewing Company in Washington, and Golden Road Brewing Company in California — bring the number of craft breweries owned by AB InBev to eight.
SABMiller also acquired a craft brewery last year: London's Meantime Brewing Company. When it was bought out by AB InBev, SABMiller agreed to spin out Miller.

Cottsway sponsors new kits for under-15s football team
We are proud to have sponsored a new kit for young footballers in Carterton, West Oxfordshire, through our Cottsway Community Fund.
We have given a grant of almost £500 to fund new kits for Carterton Town Football Club's Under-15s team.
The team, which is undefeated so far this season and currently third in their league, applied for support from our Community Fund initiative. We run the Fund each year to support an individual Cottsway customer or their immediate family member into employment or training, and to support local communities.
Grants can be used to buy items of equipment, fund local events and one-off projects, training for a group to improve their services, printing and publicity, environmental projects and improvements. Individuals can apply for course costs, books and equipment to support learning and skills development.
Paul Haydon, volunteer coach for Carterton Town Under-15s team, said: "The players are delighted, and the kits really look the part. It's a boost to know that local people and organisations are backing us, and are prepared to invest in grassroots football. Thank you to everyone at Cottsway.
"The club is a real community one and donations such as this ensure we can continue to help local young people exercise, have organised activities and the opportunity to make new friends and develop their sporting skill and passion."
Vicki Paxford, Communities Manager at Cottsway, said: "Community clubs have a vital role to play in ensuring young people have opportunity to mix in a safe environment and the chance to develop new skills, so we're proud to be sponsoring the team.
"We look forward to following their results and we hope they have a great rest of the season."
This year the £20,000 fund has been given or allocated to 17 groups and individuals, including Witney Wonderland, a six-week festival running in Witney, West Oxfordshire, over the Christmas period.
Applications for the Cottsway Community Fund for this financial year are closed, but interested groups and individuals can apply from April 1 2019 for the next round of funding. See our Community Fund page for more information about the Fund.


SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Tuesday ruled in favor of the National Security Agency in a lawsuit challenging the interception of Internet communications without a warrant, according to a court filing.
The ruling is the latest in litigation over the government's ability to monitor Internet traffic, and how it balances national security priorities against privacy.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs, who are AT&T (T.N) customers, could not immediately comment on the ruling, and a Department of Justice spokesman could not be reached.


Family therapy is a therapy that is applied to the unique social system and pattern of communication within the family. The beliefs and values, the personalities of the individual family members, and a variety of other influences gives each family its own unique personality - which affects all of its members. Treating only the family member who is identified as having a problem is like treating the symptom of a disease but not the disease itself. One struggling family member may be a symptom of a larger family problem. Often any change in one member of the family affects the family structure as well as each family member individually. This cycle will continue until the problems within the family are dealt with.
Teaches family members about how families function within their unique family and in general.
Helps the family focus less on one member and focus more on the family as a whole.
Identifies conflicts and anxieties within the family as well as developing strategies to resolve them.
Strengthens all family members and teaches them to problem-solve together.
Teaches conflict resolution and alternate ways to handle changes within the family.
Dr. Wajda and Esano's commitment to treating each patient as an integrated whole compels us to always consider the whole family when comprehensively evaluating each and every patient.

ABC News projects Prop 1 will pass, making abortions fundamental right for Californians
ByLiz Kreutz
Here's everything you need to know about Proposition 1, California's proposed constitution amendment on abortion and birth control.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- ABC News is projecting that Proposition 1 will pass. This ballot measure will amend the state constitution to make abortion and contraceptive access a fundamental right for Californians
This is a breaking news topper. Original story follows below.
The right to an abortion is probably the single biggest issue facing voters across the county in the November 2022 election. Due to the blockbuster decision by the U.S. Supreme Court back in June to overturn Roe v. Wade, every state in the country is now able to decide if they want to ban abortion.
While many states have moved to restrict abortions, California is putting a measure to the voters that goes in the opposite direction: making it a fundamental state right.
So, what's this measure all about and who's supporting it? Watch the video above for an explanation and get the fast facts below.
App users: For a better experience, click here to view the full map in a new window
What is Prop 1?
Prop 1 would amend the California constitution to prohibit the state from denying or interfering with an individual's reproductive freedom including a person's right to obtain an abortion and a right to contraceptives. While abortions are legal in California, this measure would officially enshrine that as a fundamental right for every Californian.
Why are we voting on this now?
The measure was added to the ballot in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling to overturn Roe vs. Wade. That decision removed federal protections on abortions allowing states to make their own decisions on the issue.
Who is supporting Prop 1?
Prop 1 is supported by many abortion rights groups including Planned Parenthood as well as the California Medical Association, the California Nurses Association, and California's Democratic Party.
Who is against Prop 1?
Opponents include many pro-life organizations, faith groups, and the California Republican Party.
Does Gov. Gavin Newsom have an opinion?
The governor is in support of this measure, along with U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla.
What about the Democrat and Republican parties?
The California Republican Party is opposed to Prop 1. The California Democratic Party is in favor of Prop 1.
What happens if the proposition passes?
Individuals would be able to make medical decisions about their reproductive care with their doctor without worrying about any state interference. This includes not only having an abortion but also refusing birth control and other contraceptives.

Echo das Damas foi um jornal brasileiro de divulgação feminista do século XIX. Foi fundado por Amélia Carolina de Silva Couto no Rio de Janeiro, tendo circulado por oito anos entre 1879 e 1888. Os artigos abordavam temas como valorização da mulher na família, defesa da educação para as mulheres e emancipação financeira da mulher.

Características
A palavra "eco" no nome sugere que os textos publicados no periódico deveriam ser propagados na sociedade. O primeiro número do jornal foi publicado em 4 de julho de 1879 e tinha o subtítulo "Órgão dedicado aos interesses da mulher – Crítico, recreativo, científico, literário e noticioso", que foi alterado para "Órgão dos interesses, da mulher, científico e literário" a partir do quarto número. É provável que a remoção do termo "recreativo" seja uma tentativa de garantir maior legitimidade e seriedade ao periódico, que sofria diversos ataques de opositores à sua causa.

Possuía quatro páginas por edição, sendo a última dedicada a publicidade, e com colunas que variavam a cada publicação. Seus artigos criticavam os costumes da época e os papéis de gênero, além de reivindicar o voto e a educação para mulheres. Também contou com divulgação de poesias escritas por mulheres, reportagens sobre feitos femininos em áreas consideradas masculinas e dicas domésticas, de moda e de beleza.

Ainda que o jornal pretendesse ser diário, sua periodicidade variou muito ao longo do tempo que circulou, provavelmente por questões financeiras, uma vez que tanto a tipografia quanto o escritório da sede mudaram de lugar diversas vezes. Tentou-se contornar o problema ao abrir assinaturas do jornal e em 1888 existiam 272 assinantes, que continha o nome da Princesa Isabel. O último número publicado pelo jornal foi em 28 de agosto de 1888.
