Braces are normally quite robust. Sometimes a bracket may come unglued from a tooth, a band may become loose, or a wire may break.
Call us first. A special appointment may be needed to repair the brace. In some circumstances it may be OK to leave it until your next appointment with us, but please let us know. We have emergency time allocated during the day especially for these problems should they arise.
A lot of brace treatment involves closing spaces between teeth. Sometimes when we are doing this or in the very early stages of treatment, a small length of wire can start to protrude from the back of the brace, this can be quite annoying. For temporary relief place some of the wax given to you over the wire at the end of the brace to stop it from poking your cheek. If it is a nuisance, call us for an appointment and we will trim the end of the wire to relieve the problem.
Unfortunately, this is part of the process. The braces are encouraging your teeth to move – gently, but steadily. We recommend taking some over-the-counter pain medication, such as paracetamol, drinking cold (non-sugary!) drinks, applying an icepack to the face, and sticking to soft foods, such as soups, smoothies or mashed veges for the first couple of days.
Wait it out, the achiness will ease and you are on the journey towards your beautiful new smile.
Sometimes removable retainers may be lost or broken (or chewed by the dog – dogs love them!). Other retention devices such as fixed wires may become loose or come off completely. Please retain any loose or broken parts – don't throw them away – and give us a call straight away. Remember your teeth may start to move very quickly once the retainer is not holding them in place.

Jean-Luc Brassard (* 24. August 1972 in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Québec) ist ein ehemaliger kanadischer Freestyle-Skier. Er war auf die Buckelpisten-Disziplinen Moguls und Dual Moguls spezialisiert. In der Disziplin Moguls wurde er 1993 und 1997 jeweils Weltmeister sowie 1994 Olympiasieger. Daneben gewann er drei Weltcupwertungen und 20 Einzelwettkämpfe, was ihn zu einem der erfolgreichsten Athleten aller Zeiten auf der Buckelpiste macht.

Biografie

Sportliche Laufbahn
Jean-Luc Brassard begann im Alter von acht Jahren auf einem Hügel nahe seiner Heimatstadt mit dem Skifahren. Im Alter von 17 Jahren wurde er in die Mannschaft der kanadischen Freestyler aufgenommen.

Sein Weltcup-Debüt gab er im November 1990 mit Rang 26 in La Plagne. Nur zwei Monate später feierte er am Mont Gabriel unweit seiner Heimat seinen ersten von insgesamt 20 Weltcupsiegen auf der Buckelpiste. Bei seinen ersten Olympischen Spielen in Albertville musste er sich mit Rang sieben begnügen. Die endgültige Etablierung in der Weltspitze gelang ihm in der Saison 1992/93, als er sich nicht nur mit sechs Siegen die Moguls-Gesamtwertung, sondern in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee auch den Weltmeistertitel sicherte. Mit Rang drei erreichte er außerdem seine beste Platzierung im Freestyle-Gesamtweltcup. Im Februar 1994 gewann er im Rahmen der Olympischen Spiele in Lillehammer als Mitfavorit die Goldmedaille und kürte sich damit zum ersten männlichen Olympiasieger Kanadas in einem Schneesport.

In den Wintern 1995/96 und 1996/97 wiederholte er den Gesamtsieg in der Moguls-Weltcupwertung und trug sich auch in der neuen Paralleldisziplin Dual Moguls in die Siegerliste ein. Nachdem er sich bei der Weltmeisterschaft 1995 in La Clusaz mit der Silbermedaille zufriedengeben musste, gewann er zwei Jahre später in Nagano erneut Gold. Danach konnte er nicht mehr ganz an seine großen Erfolge anknüpfen. So verpasste er bei seiner dritten Olympiateilnahme in Nagano die Medaillenränge als Vierter knapp, in der Moguls-Wertung wurde er 1998 vom neuen Olympiasieger Jonny Moseley abgelöst.

Brassard setzte seine Karriere bis zu den Olympischen Spielen 2002 in Salt Lake City fort, wo er nicht über Rang 21 hinaus kam. Nach Saisonende trat er vom aktiven Leistungssport zurück. Sein letztes FIS-Rennen bestritt er im Februar 2004.

Weitere Karriere
Jean-Luc Brassard war bereits während seiner Sportlaufbahn für sein soziales Engagement bekannt und wurde 2000 mit dem Gillette Sport Award für wohltätige Zwecke ausgezeichnet. Im Anschluss an seine erfolgreiche Karriere hält er unter anderem Vorträge und wirkt als Radiokommentator. 2014 war er Assistent des Chef de Mission der kanadischen Olympiamannschaft von Sotschi. Ende des Jahres wurde er selbst vom Kanadischen Olympischen Komitee zum Chef de Mission für die Sommerspiele in Rio ernannt. Im April 2016 zog er sich jedoch vorzeitig von seinem Vertrag zurück, nachdem er sich vom Umgang des COC mit der Causa um dessen wegen Belästigungsvorwürfen zurückgetretenen Präsidenten Marcel About enttäuscht gezeigt hatte. Sein Nachfolger wurde der ehemalige Bahnradfahrer Curt Harnett.

2008 wurde Jean-Luc Brassard in die Canadian Ski Hall of Fame, 2010 in die Hall of Fame des kanadischen Sports aufgenommen.

The word is first known in English from the 15th century from Scots. Although the etymology is uncertain, the most likely origin is that it comes from the Middle Dutch colve, colf ("club"), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *kulbô ("club"), related to German Kolben ("piston, rod"), Swedish kolv ("piston, rod"), 古期英語 clopp ("rock; cliff").
(sports) A ball game played by individuals competing against one another in which the object is to hit a ball into each of a series of (usually 18 または nine) holes in the minimum number of strokes.

(intransitive) To play the game of golf.


Most people look at one of two options. Order Chinese food family-style and you pick from column A and column B. Should we stay home or go out? Big decisions are described as "life or death" decisions. I think there are other options.
Who is Caryl Felicetta and why should we listen?
Two good questions. I'm Caryl Felicetta. Born with the non-typical spelling of Carol [Sidebar: I am asked "why do you spell your name that way" a lot: It was Dad's idea. He insists it was no one he knew, however I keep probing. It's French although we are Italian (Dad) and Hungarian (Mom). I have a little sign over my desk at home that says it means "creative and funny" which most people seem to agree with.], I was destined for the marketing and creative world.
A recent decision to change my business-life finds me back to doing what I love most: creative work. In my former life, I served as the Director of Marketing for a healthcare organization, and prior I was the COO at Single Throw Internet Marketing, which had acquired the boutique design firm that I founded, The Argyle Studio, back in 2003.
My background – and foreground – is all about marketing. "Old school media," as I refer to it, is where I started and learned all about design, copywriting, type specing, print production, media buying, sales, etc. Those same facets evolved with the advent of "desktop publishing" and the Internet, however at the end of the day, it's the message and the results that matter. And the message is all about the receiver, not the deliverer. We'll talk more about that in coming posts.
As most authors and content-creators are rightfully obliged to say, the ideas, thoughts, and comments represented here do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.
Enough said for now. Want to know more about me, just Google me. You'll find press releases, articles I've written, comments I've made…that sort of thing. Nothing juicy or titillating. To keep up with current happenings just follow me on Twitter and Like Think Plan C on Facebook.
There are a lot of marketing blogs, why did you start writing this now?
It's more of a "restart"… I've done a lot of writing over the years, and found that it's one of my passions. You'll find some of my writing online for business sites like Revenews, and creative writing sites as well. Life – and being overwhelmed by it – caused me to put some of my passions on the backburner. We (my life mate John and I) had dusted off the old list of goals and decided we have some catching up to do. And this is one of them. Of course, as with anyone who has passion for writing, I've got a book in the works (actually 2 or 3).
So as Nike says, "Just do it." And that we shall. So here's the challenge for you: Most people stop after looking at option A and option B. Make it your challenge to find option C and try it. Think Plan C.


Bologna, 21 December 2017 – Italgas and Hera signed today a binding agreement for transferral to Italgas of 100% of Medea S.p.A. The company has the concession for gas distribution and sale in the city of Sassari.
Medea's overall enterprise value has been set at € 24.1 million. At the closing of the transaction, the price will be paid entirely in cash, net of debt.
The transaction is expected to be concluded within the first few months of 2018 and is subject to a number of pre-closing requirements.
Medea serves roughly 13,000 customers, all residents in the urban area of Sassari, with annual gas volumes distributed amounting to over 5 million cubic meters. The company's potential pool is of approximately 30,000 users. The network, which in the future may be converted to natural gas, extends for over 190 km and is currently fuelled by LPG through a storage and production plant located on the outskirts of the city.
"The agreement reached today is in line with the objectives set out in our Strategic Plan and, alongside the recent operation involving Ichnusa Gas, further strengthens the presence of Italgas in Sardinia. We have already planned 200 million euros of investments for the next few years, with the aim of providing the island with modern gas distribution networks in view of the more concrete prospect of the construction of the infrastructures that will bring natural gas to the Region".
"This transaction is part of a broader process of rationalising the Hera Group's investments and concentrating on its reference territories. Our thanks go to the Sassari customers and administration for their fruitful collaboration during these years. In any case, we are pleased to sell Medea to a fully reliable counterpart with strategic interests in the Region".

This is an easy go-to, adaptable, make ahead meal. Use any greens or alliums you have, use a lot or a little. Use up any bits of cheese or meat or vegetables you have in the refrigerator, anything you have will be delicious.
I had some onions, spinach and mushrooms leftover from some pizza I made earlier so I used up those leftovers. I made this in a loaf pan. You can easily double this and bake it in a 9 X13 pan.
You will want any vegetables you use in your strata cooked and cooled before you assemble the dish, so do that first.
Next spread one third of the bread cubes in a well-buttered oven proof dish. Top with one-third of your vegetable mixture and one-third of the cheese. Repeat layering twice with remaining bread, spinach and cheese.
Whisk eggs, milk, mustard and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl and pour evenly over strata. Cover with plastic wrap and chill strata for eat least 8 hours or up to a day. All that egg and milk need to get soaked up in the bread.
Preheating the oven to 350°F. Bake strata, uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed, golden brown, and cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

How Do I Get a Restricted License After a DUI
By The Law Office of George Gedulin
Restricted License After DUI
One of the most common problems facing an individual after a DUI arrest is what will happen with their driver's license. If you are facing license suspense, you may be able to obtain a restricted driver's license.
DUI Lawyer George Gedulin explains how DUI arrests are a unique criminal offense. "The DUI case in California has two distinct parts, divided between the criminal court and the California DMV. Depending on your driving record and if you have any previous arrests or convictions for DUI, the consequences for a person's driver's license can vary significantly."
Within 10 days of your arrest, your DUI attorney must request a hearing with the DMV to have a formal hearing where your license status will be addressed. With this request, your lawyer will receive all reports and evidence available to the DMV to decide if your driver's license will be subject to suspension. The length and nature of suspension will depend on whether you have had any previous DUI arrests and if your license was suspended in those cases. A suspension can be imposed for multiple reasons relating to a DUI, not just for being under the influence.
Three Examples of How to Get a Restricted License
1) Jim was arrested for a suspected DUI in May 2016. He did not request an APS hearing and did not hire a criminal defense attorney to argue his driving privilege with the DMV. Jim's driver's license was suspended for 6 months. This is Jim's 1st DUI arrest. No matter what happens with his criminal case Jim can apply for a restricted license with the DMV after serving 30 days of his suspension. Jim must register for alcohol education classes, and provide proof of SR-22 insurance. With these items and a new license fee paid to the DMV, he can get a restricted license. Jim can drive to and from work and to his DUI classes until his suspension is served. Jim's BAC level at the time of driving was 0.08, and so he will not be required to install an IID in his car for the restricted license.
2) Walter is having a bad time at school and work and to add to his problems he was just arrested for his 2nd DUI. He thought this would never happen to him again and has had no issues with the police since his 1st DUI nearly 5 years ago. Walter had a relatively high BAC level of .20 on his blood-alcohol test. The DMV upheld his license suspension and informed him that his license will be suspended for 1 year. Walter calls his attorney and wants to know what he needs to do to get a restricted driver's license. Fortunately for Walter, the process is straight forward. Before his criminal case is even concluded Walter can apply for a restricted after serving 90 days of his suspension. He must enroll in DUI related alcohol education course, obtain SR-22 insurance, and install an IID (Ignition Interlock Device) in his vehicle. Although Walter's license is under restriction for the remainder of the year, he can drive to work, school, and attend all DUI classes.
3) Alyssa was arrested on April 15, 2016, for her 2nd DUI offense. Her first DUI arrest was on April 20, 2015 (Less than one year ago). Timing for Alyssa in her DUI case is going to be critical. An experienced lawyer will know that requesting an Administrative hearing with the DMV puts a hold on any license suspension. For someone with a very recent DUI arrest, this is very important. The DMV puts operator points on a driver's license for every traffic offense. A DUI conviction or suspension due to DUI arrest will put two points on your license. Alyssa can potentially have four (4) points on her license within 1 year. This would put her in the Negligent Operator category and her license would be suspended for 1 year.
Alyssa was smart to hire an experienced DUI defense lawyer who argued against a license suspension long after her arrest date. If she did not have proper counsel and did not request the DMV hearing her license would be suspended for 1 year. A negligent operator suspension will usually not allow for a restricted license status even after six (6) months. Especially where a person is a negligent operator due to two DUI's in one year the DMV is very unlikely to grant a restricted license.

A motion simulator is a device designed to provide the human subject with a realistic feeling of being inside a moving vehicle, such as a car or an airplane. Humans perceive self-motion mainly via visual and vestibular systems. While current computer graphics technology can provide very realistic visual cues, realism of inertial cues is strictly limited by physical constraints of the motion system, such as maximum positions, velocities and accelerations of the mechanical axes. The challenge is to control the motion system is such a way that the difference between its output (accelerations and rotational velocities) and the corresponding values in a real vehicle is minimized, while satisfying the motion system constraints. We are currently solving this problem by using a large-scale optimization algorithm to find motion system input for a pre-defined reference output. This approach shows very good results, but is extremely slow. We aim at improving the performance by using more efficient software implementation and/or smarter algorithms. Our final goal is to make our approach to work in a real-time scenario, where a human subject is actively controlling the simulated vehicle. We want to implement a non-linear model-predictive controller that would be fast enough for this purpose.

A Trump - Putin Summit Meeting Coming?
Donald Trump should seize on his earlier idea to hold a summit with Russian President Putin before his inauguration. The dangerous state of international relations makes such a summit urgent and necessary.
Adam Garrie and I have discussed how the way is now open for Donald Trump to move forward with Russia to settle the two big crises affecting US – Russian relations: Ukraine and Syria.
Whilst these words do not specifically refer to Russia, it is no secret to anyone at all familiar with international relations that the Russians – perhaps more than any other nation – strongly feel that the US has not been treating them fairly. They are bound to see in these words a first clue that Trump is genuinely interested in patching up relations with them.
"We heard the statements he made as candidate for president expressing a desire to restore relations between our countries. We realise and understand that this will not be an easy road given the level to which our relations have degraded today, regrettably. But, as I have said before, it is not Russia's fault that our relations with the United States have reached this point.
In other words the Russians are prepared to work with Trump to bring to an end the current period of heightened superpower tensions. If Trump is genuinely interested in improving relations with Russia – and all the indications are that he is – then the willingness on the part of the Russians to make a deal is there.
Time however is of the essence. Trump does not become President until January, the international situation remains tense, and the enemies of improved relations between the US and Russia are still there.
In Ukraine the Maidan government has dug in its heels on implementing the Minsk II agreement whilst blaming Russia for its own failure to do this. In August it tried to infiltrate a sabotage mission into Crimea, causing fears of war between Ukraine and Russia. In the Donbass, instead of disengaging its forces from the contact line as it has repeatedly promised, it continuously steps up attacks. There is mounting evidence that it is directly implicated in the recent series of assassinations of Donbass leaders – including the recent one of Motorola – and there were sketchy reports yesterday that members of another Ukrainian sabotage mission have just been captured in the Donbass, though details for the moment are sparse.
If the Maidan leadership senses a coming end to the sort of unqualified support from the US it has been getting, then given the character of some of its members and its inability to compromise, it is not impossible that it might decide to go for broke, and resume full scale war in the Donbass as a means of embarrassing Trump and of shoring up Western support.
In the Middle East the situation is if possible even worse. In October the US and Russian militaries in Syria faced off against each other, with public threats made of a sort that have not been heard since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The US air attack in September on Syrian troops in Deir Ezzor shows how dangerous the situation has become, with parts of the US military apparently barely under Presidential control. To cap everything, the US and Russia moreover now seem locked in a strange race to see who will be the first to win the battles in Mosul and eastern Aleppo, when the nature of the enemy in both places means that on the contrary they should be fighting alongside each other.
Beyond that there is the issue of the European sanctions, which are for renewal in January. The US under Obama has been pressing the Europeans to extend the sanctions, and though this push is being resisted by southern Europe, the wide expectation until recently was that they would be renewed.
Though the actual effectiveness of the sanctions is fast diminishing, they continue to have symbolic importance, with their very existence acting as a symbol of the bad state of relations between Russia and the West.
Meantime NATO has been busy assembling troops in eastern Europe close to Russia's borders – in breach of its earlier promises to Russia – with NATO officials talking endlessly – and groundlessly – of "Russian aggression", and the British Defence Minister even talking absurdly and completely irresponsibly of the possibility of war with Russia in 2 years.
As President elect Donald Trump cannot enter into any formal agreements with Vladimir Putin or with Russia. However an informal summit between the two men before Trump's inauguration would be a powerful signal of their determination to work together with each other to solve the mountain of problems which have accumulated. It would annoy Obama and the neocons, but it would enable Trump and Putin to get to know each other better (they have never actually met) and would at least enable them to start to lay the groundwork for a move towards improving relations once Trump is inaugurated.
Most important of all, it would be the strongest possible signal to anyone with any crazy ideas in Washington and Brussels – and indeed in Kiev, Riyadh and Ankara – that they can expect no support or sympathy when Trump finally moves into the White House.
Trump has previously floated the idea of such an informal summit meeting with Putin before Inauguration Day. The international situation in fact makes such a meeting urgent. Though Trump's in-tray will be bursting as he struggles to put together his administration, Trump should make it a priority.

I love to believe that I have some sort of influence on the people around me especially on my students since I am a teacher. I do my best to transmit positive values to my students and one of my objectives at work (apart from teaching the academic subjects) is to try and make my students appreciate the beauty of the world around us and encourage them to go out and explore it. For this reason me and my colleagues organise trips to Italy that not only help students in their language learning, but also hope that this motivates them to become inquisitive explorers of the world around them.
Organising trips for students is surely not an easy task. It entails months of preparation and a huge responsibility which not everyone is ready to take. However this kind of experience is extremely rewarding since it's a great satisfaction seeing students interacting with local people, asking about what they see around them, tasting local food and finally being thankful for the journey. Most of them will return the year after asking about the next trip and this encourages me and my colleagues to organise yet another trip.
During these educational trips it is almost impossible to take pictures since I have to keep my eyes on my students all of the time, but sometimes I manage to capture something interesting like the souvenir depicted in the featured image above. This image was taken on a day trip to Sicily with the students and portrays a detail from a souvenir representing the Trinacria symbol. It has been taken at a souvenir shop in the small town of Taormina. This place is my favourite in Sicily as it boasts breathtaking views, delicious food and narrow streets where to get lost.

It is done using the inciso technique applied to the surface using a grinding wheel, leaving the surface feeling slightly rough. The glass has a green color with a yellow glow at the bottom. It measures just over 8 inches tall, 4-1/4 inches in diameter at the top and 2-1/4 inches in diameter at the base. It is in excellent condition with only one very tiny nick on the rim that is hard to see with the naked eye. There is no acid etched mark that I can see. It probably had a paper label at one point. The polished bottom does show signs of use from years of being on a shelf. There are no cracks, water marks, scratches or repairs. Truly worthy of any Italian Art Glass collection.

Forest Services advances plan to open 9.2 million acres of Tongass to development
Photo courtesy US Forest Service (KTUU)
Published: Sep. 25, 2020 at 7:36 PM AKDT
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The U.S. Forest Service is moving forward with a plan to exempt the Tongass National Forest from the 2001 Roadless Rule, opening up more than 9.2 million acres in the national forest to logging and other development, despite opposition from tribal governments and concerns about the economic viability of logging in the region.
The Final Environmental Impact Statement for the rulemaking was released Thursday, two years and nine months after former Alaska Gov. Bill Walker petitioned U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to exempt the Tongass from the Roadless Rule.
Friday, Alaska's entire congressional delegation and Gov. Mike Dunleavy applauded the Final EIS, which outlines why a full exemption of the rule is Forest Service's preferred alternative.
However, a broad group of supporters of the rule cites reasons ranging from the economics of the action to Indigenous rights and environmental impacts as reasons for keeping the rule in place.
"Our economy has shifted. And the tourism and fishing industry represent 26% of the jobs in the region, and the timber industry represents less than 1% of the jobs in the region," Dan Cannon, Tongass Forest program manager for the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, said. "So when we look at our Alaska delegation and our governor, they're kind of living in the past. They're living in the 1990s and they have this idea that Southeast Alaska's economy is something that it isn't. The economy has really shifted and the Roadless Rule is working for Alaskans and has now for two decades."
Earlier this month, the federal budget watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense released a report analyzing 40 years of timber sales in the Tongass National Forest. Using USFS data, it found that timber sales in 1980 have generated $227 million, but cost $1.96 to administer. The group projected that the USFS would lose around $190 million over the next five years if the agency moves forward with currently planned timber sales.
Corri Feige, commissioner of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, says that the Roadless Rule has stifled the timber industry and that exempting the Tongass will allow it to be more economical, and help the timber industry regrow into a more important part of a diversified economy.
"From the standpoint of the state of Alaska, we also enjoy good neighbor authority. So in areas where we have state timber lands that abut or adjoin federal Forest Service timber lands, that good neighbor authority can be utilized, and now with other portions of the Tongass being removed from the Roadless Rule, it allows us to put together sales that make sense economically that can support the mills in Southeast Alaska and the timber producers there," Feige said. "For Southeast Alaska, that's jobs. We went from, I think it 2017, latest statistic I saw was somewhere in the neighborhood of maybe 125 to a 150 jobs associated with timber. And here just a couple of years ago we were down at 60. And so it's a huge impact to that region."
Feige says that tales that the entirety of the Tongass will be clear cut are far-fetched.
"I think what people don't understand is that any time we're looking at a sale, part of certainly what the State has to consider and what the Forest Service has to consider is the broad range of impacts and what can be mitigated," Feige said. "So for example around this notion of everything being clear cut, it simply isn't reality because the forest management plans don't allow for there to be an overt impact, for example, to areas where there could be viewshed that's very important to tourism in the area. All of those elements are considered when you're planning a timber sale, and you have to look at each and every one of those aspects."
Autumn Hanna, the vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, says it is those administrative costs and the costs of road-building that make the timber sales in the Tongass a net-loss for the government.
"The federal government's role is not to make sales attractive or competitive for industry. If the economics aren't there they aren't there, and the timber industry is on decline and subsidizing these sales is not going to turn that around. There are much other bigger issues on the trade end, demand, that are at play here," Hanna said. "We're really looking at this from a dollars and cents perspective, and we're not opposed to timber harvest. It's just in the Tongass, you can't subsidize your way out of the problems here with the timber industry and we think this is a bad use national of taxpayer dollars. It unjustified and these subsidies continue to add up year after year."
Industrial-scale clear cut logging and the roads associated with it are the primary points of contention with exempting the Tongass from the Roadless Rule, but the change could also simplify access to other uses.
"For nearly two decades, the Roadless Rule has stifled opportunities for Alaskans in Southeast to harvest timber, connect communities, develop minerals and build vital energy projects," Sen. Dan Sullivan said in a statement.
However, Cannon says that the rule has worked for Southeast Alaska because it is already flexible.
"It's well designed because the rule allows for many exemptions, and all 57 exemptions that various industries have applied for on roadless areas in Southeast have been approved by the Forest Service," Cannon said. "This includes exemptions for mining. This includes exemptions for Federal Aid Highways. This includes exemptions for hydroelectricity development. It includes exemptions for transmissions lines ... Really this rule is very flexible and it's not really inhibiting much."
What the rule has inhibited is clear cut logging of old-growth in more than 9 million acres of the forest.
Earlier this summer, the leaders of nine tribal entities in Southeast Alaska petitioned the Department of Agriculture in response to how the USDA has handled the rulemaking process to create a Traditional Homelands Conservation Rule.
"All Tribes in Southeast Alaska are federally recognized, sovereign governments. Proposed action to lift the 2001 Roadless Rule will affect all Southeast Tribes' traditional territory and traditional and customary uses of said territory. Thus, as with all management on the Tongass, our perspectives should significantly inform this decision-making process," the tribal leaders wrote. "Instead, throughout this process, our voices have been disregarded, disrespected, undervalued, and ignored. The USDA's ongoing efforts to exempt the Tongass National Forest from the 2001 Roadless Rule, despite the Tribes' united and staunch opposition to a full exemption alternative, is yet another example of the federal government's failure to fulfill their fiduciary trust responsibility to Alaska Native Tribes."

Ever since I spotted Johanna Ortiz's designs on my instagram feed, I knew I needed to find a way to get one of those amazing tops with puffy sleeves at an affordable price :) The fabulous Rosemary Top has been worn or written about by Leandra Medine of Man Repeller here and by Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific here just to name a few of my faves.
I did find a very similar top at Storets.com here in pink for just $68.00 compared to the original price of $635 here! See below for how I styled it on a sunny day in SOHO.

Motion to Compel
January 20, 2017 by: Content Team One comment
In any legal action, whether civil or criminal, all of the parties to the action are entitled to receive information and evidence from the other parties, though they have to ask for it specifically. This is usually done through a series of requests that the other party answer questions, and provide documents or other items. Should a party refuse to provide the information, a request can be made that the court order – or compel – the party to comply with the request. This is called a Motion to Compel. To explore this concept, consider the following Motion to Compel definition.
Definition of Motion to Compel
A legal request that a court of law compel one party to a legal action to provide evidence to another party to the action.
What is a Motion
In the U.S., a motion is a tool used to ask the court to make a decision on something. A motion can be filed at any point during a legal action, when something pertaining to the case itself is disputed. The types of motions that may be made, and the procedure for making a motion is governed by the rules of court for the specific jurisdiction.
Motions are commonly made for a wide variety of purposes, such as:
Motion to Continue – a request to postpone a hearing or trial to a later date
Motion to Dismiss – a request for the court to dismiss the lawsuit or legal action without a decision in favor of either party
Motion for Modification – a request that the court change, or "modify," a previously made order of the court, such as a child custody order
Motion for Sanctions – a request that the court impose sanctions, or a "penalty," on a party to the case for some wrongdoing in administering the case
Motion to Compel – a request that the court order a party to the legal action to do something, which has previously been ordered, or which is within the bounds of normal procedure
Filing a Motion
While a motion may, in some instances, be made orally during a trial or hearing, a motion generally must be made through a set of written documents. These documents generally include:
Notice of Motion – a written notice to the opposing party that the motion has been filed with the court, and the date on which a hearing will be held
Motion – a petition specifying what is being asked of the court (sometimes referred to a "petition")
Points and Authorities – a written statement of the legal reasons the court should grant the request made in the motion
Types of Discovery
Discovery – the process of requesting and obtaining information from an opposing party to a legal action – takes many forms. The most commonly used include:
Deposition – A legal proceeding outside court in which a party to the legal action, or a witness, is asked questions, to which he must respond under oath.
Interrogatories – Written questions sent to one party to a legal action which must be answered in writing, under oath.
Request for Admission of Facts – A written request for a party to a legal action to admit certain specific facts. Responses must be provided in writing, under oath.
Production of Documents – A written request for a party to a legal action to provide certain specified documents, or other tangible things (such as video or audio recordings). Documents commonly requested include bank statements, tax documents, pay stubs, letters, memos, emails, etc.
Request for Inspection – A request to be allowed to look at certain tangible items, other than written documents, the other party has in its possession or control.
Subpoena – A court summons requiring a witness to appear for a deposition, or in court. In most jurisdictions, a subpoena can be issued and signed by an attorney, who is an officer of the court. It is just as legally binding as a court-ordered subpoena.
Subpoena Duces Tecum – A court summons requiring a witness or third party to appear at a deposition, bringing with him certain specified documents. This type of subpoena is commonly served on people who are custodians of documents, such as an accountant, or a records officer. In most jurisdictions, a subpoena duces tecum can be issued and signed by an attorney, who is an officer of the court.
Motion to Compel Discovery
Discovery is the process by which the parties to a legal action request and obtain information and evidence from the other parties. The Rules of Court of each jurisdiction are very specific as to how this information can be requested, and how the other party must respond – including a very tight timeline. Failing to provide full responses to discovery requests, or to respond on time, is the topic of most motions to compel.
In some jurisdictions, a party is permitted to file a Motion to Compel Discovery immediately if the other party has missed the deadline for responding. Many jurisdictions, however, attempt to lessen the burden this places on the court by requiring the requesting party to prove a good faith effort was made to obtain the responses before filing. This is commonly referred to as a "meet and confer," though it doesn't usually involve an actual physical meeting between the parties. Being late is the most common issue in discovery responses, and it is commonplace for an attorney whose client is going to be late to call the requesting party and request an extension of time. Refusal to grant a reasonable extension of time when requested would not be looked upon favorably should the requesting party file a Motion to Compel Discovery.
For example, a Motion to Compel Discovery has been filed by Mary's attorney on the day after her estranged husband, Neal, was supposed to deliver his answers to interrogatories and request for production of documents. The day the discovery was due, Neal's attorney called Mary's attorney to say that it was taking longer than expected to get the documents together, and to ask for an extension of time. The couple is embroiled in a hotly disputed divorce, so Mary is pleased by the idea of taking her ex to court. In this example, the Motion to Compel Discovery is not likely to be well received by the court, as Mary prevented her attorney from granting a reasonable extension of time, and no good faith attempt to resolve the issue was made.
There are cases in which a party provides incomplete answers to interrogatories (written questions), skips questions, or flatly refuses to answer some questions. Sometimes a party refuses to hand over copies of requested documents, or claims to not have any pertinent documents, when the requesting party is sure that is not true. These are additional reasons for filing a Motion to Compel Discovery.
Motion to Compel Compliance with a Subpoena
Another reason a Motion to Compel might be filed is a third party or witness' refusal to comply with a subpoena, or refusal to testify in a deposition. Procedures for issuing a subpoena, whether for a person to appear for deposition, or for a person to provide copies of documents, are clearly outlined in the jurisdiction's Rules of Court.
While failing to comply with other discovery requests may result in sanctions by the court. Failing to appear or otherwise comply with a subpoena may result in a charge of contempt of court, which may result in a hefty fine, or even jail time.
In many cases, the custodian of the records requested contacts the attorney who issued the subpoena duces tecum to ask whether his appearance and testimony will be required, or whether it would suffice to provide the documents. If the documents alone will satisfy the requirement, they must be provided in a sealed envelope, with a signed certification that the documents are indeed the real documents.
When filing a Motion to Compel compliance with a properly issued subpoena, the party must prove to the court that a good faith effort to obtain cooperation was made.
Hearing on Motion to Compel
When a motion to compel is filed with the court, a hearing is scheduled. At the hearing, the party that filed the motion will need to tell the judge why the other party should be compelled to do something. As Motions to Compel Discovery are the most common type of motion to compel, the filing party will need to explain to the judge why the information sought from the opposing party is important to his case. He will also need to show that he made a good faith attempt to work it out with the other party, rather than simply filing the motion.
If the party objected to certain interrogatories or requests for other items, the moving party (the party that filed the motion) must convince the judge that the objection should be overruled, and the information provided. If the party claimed he didn't have the information or items requested, the moving party will want him to state – on the record – that he doesn't have them. Once that happens, that party will not be able to use the documents at trial. Also, if it is later determined that he did, in fact, have the documents or items, he may be charged with contempt of court.
Whichever party wins at a motion to compel hearing is likely to be awarded some type of sanctions, such as the payment of attorney's fees, some other monetary fine, or the case might even be dismissed, or some portion of it excluded.
Motion to Compel Example in Apple
In December, 2015, a man went into a center for people with developmental disabilities, and opened fire, killing 14 people. The FBI tracked the purchase of the gun used in the shooting to Syed Farook, then surrounded his home in a standoff. Eventually, Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, attempted to flee in a black SUV. They got into a shootout with police, and both were killed.
The FBI, fearing the mass shooting was a terrorist act instituted by a terrorist cell, attempted to go through the Farook's iPhone to determine who he had been in contact with. Unfortunately, the authorities were unable to break into the encrypted information on the phone, so they sought the help of Apple in unlocking the information.
While Apple complied with a subpoena to turn over account information, and had their engineers give advice as to investigative options available to the government, the company refused to provide a code to open the encrypted information.
The U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") filed an ex parte Motion to Compel Apple to unlock Farook's encrypted iPhone. On February 16, 2016 hearing, Apple was ordered by the court to assist the FBI to gain entry into Farook's iPhone. That same day, Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote a letter to Apple's customers, stating:
"In today's digital world, the "key" to an encrypted system is a piece of information that unlocks the data, and it is only as secure as the protections around it. Once the information is known, or a way to bypass the code is revealed, the encryption can be defeated by anyone with that knowledge.
"The government suggests this tool could only be used once, on one phone. But that's simply not true. Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices. In the physical world, it would be the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks …
"We are challenging the FBI's demands with the deepest respect for American democracy and a love of our country. We believe it would be in the best interest of everyone to step back and consider the implications."
The letter made it clear to the DOJ that Apple had no intention of complying with the court's order. On February 19, 2016, the DOJ filed a Motion to Compel compliance with the February 16 order. Both in the motion, and at the subsequent hearing, the government tirelessly describes to the court the necessity for the information in Farook's phone, in their investigation into the terrorist attack.
In this example of a Motion to Compel, the issue of whether compelling Apple to provide a "back door," or specialized software making it possible for the government to break into encrypted iPhones violated the constitutional right to privacy for its customers quickly found its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Camilla d'Errico is set to release a second book with Dark Horse Comics a year after Femina and Fauna: The Art of Camilla d'Errico. Available Feb 27, Helmetgirls follows a similar style to d'Errico's previous work in fusing manga, steampunk and fine art into a unique aggregate.
The Vancouver artist is a prominent face of pop surrealism. She is an accomplished painter, comic-book artist, illustrator, custom-toy designer and character developer. A few of her clients include Walt Disney, Image Comics, Random House and the Opera Gallery of New York.
D'Errico's fascination with machinery, which she dates back to her early childhood, is apparent in Helmetgirls. Wide-eyed girls wear elaborate mechanical headgear. Beauty and machine are in harmony with each other. As the headgear organically extends from the girls' bodies, the two entities become one.
The depth in the eyes of the Helmetgirls tells a different story to each viewer. The narrative depends on what onlookers see when they gaze into the girls' eyes; it might be a reflection of their own story.
Pre-order of Helmetgirls is available here.

undamental plans proposed to redesign the UK defined contribution pension system (as opposed to workplace final salary schemes) were announced as part of the Budget 2014 speech. This is the most far-reaching reform to the taxation of pensions since the regime was introduced in 1921, introducing new flexibility to the pensions system.
Your retirement should be something to look forward to, not worry about how to make ends meet. Whatever you want to do, understanding how to build up enough retirement savings and how pensions work should help you achieve your goals.
You could soon have a pension without asking for one!
Millions of workers are being automatically enrolled into a workplace pension by their employer. A workplace pension is a way of saving for your retirement that's arranged by your employer.
A defined-contribution (DC) or money-purchase pension scheme is one that invests the money you pay into it, together with any employer's contribution, and gives you an accumulated sum on retirement, with which you can secure a pension income, either by buying an annuity or using income drawdown.
Flexible drawdown is a special form of drawdown under which any amount of money can be withdrawn from the pension pot. There are two requirements you have to meet before undertaking this option: you must meet the minimum income requirement (MIR) and you must have stopped contributing to any pensions. As the name suggests, this option is more flexible than income drawdown. Qualifying for this option removes the cap on the income you can take.
As you approach retirement, you will have to decide how best to use your pension pot for the years ahead. One of the ways of doing this is by entering income drawdown. Unlike an annuity, with income drawdown, your money remains invested and you take a pension income directly from it. This is a flexible way to take your pension benefits, although it may not be suitable if you want the security of income that an annuity offers.
You only have one opportunity to shop around for your annuity. This is called 'exercising the open market option'. Once you have committed to an annuity provider and started to receive an income, the decision can't be reversed.

Jada is accustomed to performing with and against her sister. Both girls are remarkable athletes, and they have primed themselves for competition, both regularly competing at the national level. GAC track coach Brad Kinser said, "They're each other's biggest fans, even though they compete hard against each other." Even though the team clenched runner-up at the State Meet, Jasmine claimed the State Title for both 100 and 300 yard hurdle events (for the second year in a row), runner-up for the long jump, and set new state and national records. After the season ended, with their track club, the ATL Zoom, the girls won the USATF National Championship in the 4x100 meter relay in the 17-18 young women division with a time of 44.85 seconds. Jasmine was the 2018 All-American in the 100 meter hurdles and 400 meter hurdles, while Jada was the 2018 All-American in the 100 hurdles.
Overall, their career awards are outstanding: Jasmine is an 8-time National Champion, and Jada is a 2-time National Champion with their track club. With their agility, leadership skills, and incredible ability in the classroom, both girls have their pick of schools. While the Spartan family will continue to cheer for Jasmine at home, we will also keep our eyes on the new Harvard Crimson who was bred on our very own GAC campus.

An Omaskêko Cree artist, Duane Linklater addresses issues of cultural loss and recovery as well as authenticity, appropriation and authorship, working in performance, installation, film and other media. He often collaborates with others, reconsidering oral traditions where the transmission of knowledge, stories or histories is essential to future generations. Linklater's work mobilizes present day relations of cultural heritage while highlighting traces of genealogy and questions of legacy, often inhabiting the site-specific qualities of a given exhibition space with his own displaced narratives and stories.
Linklater has exhibited his work nationally and internationally including at Eli And Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, Lansing, MI (2017), 80 WSE Gallery in New York City (2017), the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto (2015), Vancouver Art Gallery (2015), Institute of Contemporary Arts Philadelphia (2015), the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in Salt Lake City (2015), the SeMa Biennale in Seoul Korea (2016), and Documenta 13 (2012) to name a few. Linklater has also received several prizes including the 2013 Sobey Art Award, a national annual prize given to an artist under 40 and more recently the Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award from the Canada Council for the Arts in 2016. Born in Moose Factory, Ontario Canada, Linklater now lives in North Bay, Ontario.
Linklater's recent sculptures, Trap (2106) and Id (2016) will occupy the Storehouse venue at the English Camp.

Motivational Farm Comedy!!
Michael Perry is a New York Times bestselling author, humorist and radio show host from New Auburn, Wisconsin.
Perry's bestselling memoirs include Population 485, Truck: A Love Story, Coop, and Visiting Tom. Raised on a small Midwestern dairy farm, Perry put himself through nursing school while working on a ranch in Wyoming, then wound up writing by happy accident. He lives with his wife and two daughters in rural Wisconsin, where he serves on the local volunteer fire and rescue service and is an amateur pig farmer. He hosts the nationally-syndicated "Tent Show Radio," performs widely as a humorist, and tours with his band the Long Beds (currently recording their third album for Amble Down Records). He has recorded three live humor albums including Never Stand Behind A Sneezing Cow and The Clodhopper Monologues, is currently finishing his first young adult novel, and can be found online at www.sneezingcow.com.
Perry's essays and nonfiction have appeared in numerous publications including The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Backpacker, Outside, Runner's World, Salon.com, and he is a contributing editor to Men's Health magazine.
Of all his experiences, Perry says the single most meaningful thing he has ever done is serving 12 years beside his neighbors on the New Auburn Area Fire Department. Mike says: If I had to sum up my 'career' in one word, it would be gratitude. I get to write and tell stories all around the country, then come home to be with my family and hang out at the local feed mill complaining about the price of feeder hogs. It's a good life and I'm lucky to have it.
